Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday apartment in San Pedro de Alcantara
2 bedrooms (1 King and 1 Twin) plus superior Z-bed. Sleeps 5. 2 Bathrooms
This lovely 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment is in the luxury development of Mirador d' Costalita right beside the prestigious Los Flamingos golf course, 4 miles from the lively Spanish town of San Pedro and 6 miles from the cosmopolitan resort of Puerto Banus. There is much to do and see in this wonderful area during the day and so many fabulous restaurants and bars in which to spend your evenings before retiring to the apartment's large south-west facing terrace to watch the sun go down. The apartment also has another 2 terraces to catch the sun in the morning. Outside, the beautiful tropical gardens with water features and a dazzling swimming pool (including a small pool and play area for young children), are completely enclosed. Inside the spacious, 1st floor apartment (with lift access) is furnished and decorated to a high standard with marble floors and terracotta tiling throughout. Equipped with all the modern amenities it will appeal to both families and golfing parties alike.

The dining and living room furniture is light oak and the dining chairs are brown leather. Sliding doors lead out onto a terrace with views to the spectacular mountains where you can enjoy outdoor dining from morning 'til night. There are 2 sleeper reclining chairs to snooze away warm afternoons.
The smaller terrace off the kitchen also has a table with chairs for early morning coffee overlooking the beautiful gardens.
The master bedroom, with its 5' bed, is furnished in traditional dark wood furniture with sumptuous matching curtains and bedding. It has a full en suite bathroom with a separate shower cubicle and bath. The 2nd bedroom has twin beds and is furnished in white Shaker-style furniture.

Guestbook comments from the owner
We have now returned from Spain to Finland, and I just today mailed to keys back to you in priority mail.
And thank you for great week in your apartment!
Everything was great, and went just fine. Kids liked the pool area with the playground and everything.
Hopefully you found the apartment in acceptable shape after us, we cleaned everything before we left.
Thank you again!

"This card was the icing on the cake after a super first birthday party! It's festive and fun and allowed me one more celebration with the birthday girl. Everyone commented on how cute the card was and the strategically placed birthday hat. The paper quality and the printing was fabulous, the usual Tiny Prints standard!"
"Such a cute thank you note for a little girl's birthday. Very cute design and loved being able to add my daughter's picture. I received several compliments on this one!"
"Great with a color photo, or one that is sepia or black & white. I used a cute font for my daughter's name too. So much more personal when a thank you has a picture on it!"
"Love that I was able to get matching thank you notes at the same quality as my invites. I also liked that her name could be on it."

Former Colts G.M. Bill Polian Talks With The Drive
Carolina Panthers
Buy Panthers Tickets
Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
The Drive Monday 10-15-12 Bill Polian, former GM of the Indianapolis Colts and current NFL Analyst for ESPN, stopped "The Drive" to talk to Taylor Zarzour and Marc James to discuss the Panthers disappointing season and other headlines around the rest of the NFL.
One of the big stories of the NFL season this far is parity around the league and injuries, but Bill Polian said this is really nothing new. "The league is so thin, whether you call it parity or thinness, it doesn't matter. One or two key injuries really determine everything."
Mr.Polian also addressed the feeling of disappointment currently surrounding the Panthers franchise, and had some specific advice for struggling quarterback, Cam Newton.
"First of all, relax. Everybody goes through a trying time. Second of all, concentrate on the details. Block out all the noise – whether it's favorable noise or unfavorable noise. Block it out, and get back to the basics of playing quarterback within the system that Rob Chudzinski has given him. And master the fundamentals of the game. Listen to Mike Shula. Listen to what he has to say."
For Cam Newton, according to Polian, as special as he is, he has to rely on things other than his physical ability in order to have success.
"It's about learning how to play quarterback. He has a great Coordinator who does things that compliment and accentuate Cam's talent. And he has a great Quartback Coach who can help him grow into an all-around great QB, but he's not there yet… So all he has to do is keep working. And most importantly, block out all the noise. Don't go underground. Just play football. Don't worry about anything else."
Polian became renowned for his relationship and work with one the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, Peyton Manning. And if he could offer any advice on developing into the same type of leader, he had this to tell Cam: "Leadership is earned, it's not given. And it's given to least of all to people outside of the team… Leadership is earned on the field."
Lastly, the guys asked him about Marty Hurney and Panthers failure to succeed throughout the majority of his tenure and whether or not he thought that the Panthers GM's job is in jeopardy.
"I don't think so. I think they're on the right track. I think that their growth and development depends on two things: how fast Cam grows and develops, and how quickly they can get the defense to the point where it can get off the field on third down. And that, to me, seems to be the two biggest issues. And Marty doesn't control either one of those. I'm a Marty Hurney fan. There's no two ways about it. He's a friend, but I think he's done a lot of good things here, too. So I would say that no, it's not time, because I don't see any reason to change dramatically the path that they're on."
You can catch Bill Polian on ESPN's NFL Live, weekdays from 4:00 – 5:00pm, EST.

|Comorbidity Between Balance and Childhood Anxiety: Treatment of Anxiety by Training of Balance
|Brief Summary
Previous studies report frequent comorbidity of anxiety and sensory-motor imbalance in adults (Sklare et al., 2001). Only a few studies tested the comorbidity in children. We confirmed that: a) children with primary diagnosis of poor balance demonstrate an elevated anxiety level (Brat et al., 2006, submitted) and, b) children with primary diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder demonstrate poor balance performance (Erez et al., 2004). These studies demonstrate the presence of balance-anxiety comorbidity in children with primary disorder of either balance or anxiety. Our theoretical reasoning formalized under the "three stage theory of learning" points to the possibility that poor balance may either predispose or cause the emergence of anxiety disorder (Erez et al., 2004). Thus, in the present study we test two predictions: (a) high prevalence of comorbidity of anxiety and balance disorders in children with a primary diagnosis of generalized or separation anxiety disorder, and, (b) intensive balance training, but not training of flexibility and power, will reduce the level of anxiety in children with primary diagnosis of anxiety.
|Detailed Description
Study sample: 64 children, 8 to 14 years old, with diagnosis of generalized or separation anxiety.
Training: 32 of these children will undergo balance training and the other 32 children will undergo motor training of power and flexibility. Training will last 7 weeks, twice per week, 1 hr each session.
Tests: Balance and anxiety tests will be applied before training period, immediately after the last training session and again 2 months after the last training session.
Tests will include standard balance performance tests and questionnaires of anxiety.

Just got off the phone with a customer while my boss was in the background gossiping with the Xerox tech, dropping "F" bombs left and right, in a really loud voice. Really? How professional. Unbelievable. This woman has absolutely no business running a business.
And I love how she has 35 minutes to bullshit with the tech but If she sees me on this site she asks me what I'm doing? I just say - looking for an answer to a question.
I was given a Photoshop file to update and work from today. It has at least 100 layers, and none of those layers are labeled or grouped or in any kind of discernible order whatsoever. I began the incredibly tedious process of organizing it so that 1) I could know what the heck I was doing, and 2) so the next poor soul to work on this won't be facepalming as I was.
To make it better, about 1.5-2 hours into this I had to run to a meeting so I just left my computer as is. Come back from the meeting 30 minutes later and my computer had crashed and was turned off. Thankfully PS had recovered my file, but all of a sudden it was telling me it had to replace all the fonts because they weren't on the system, even though I hadn't had any trouble with that at all before the crash.

I took a couple of tiny red sinus pills a little while ago and one of them stuck to the back of my throat. So I've spent the last half hour trying in vain to either gag it back up or get it to go down. Little bastid was stuck like glue. I guess it finally dissolved since I can't feel it anymore

so anyway i'm 17 and last night my dad told me that me and my sister were adopted. i was shocked but i wasen't mad or anything... just shocked. this is the sort of stuff you see on tv or read in a book, i thought. i still love my parents and they're the best. although i'm still trying to grasp what's been said, but it'll sink in eventually.
so this moning my sister decided to have the yard sale today, which was a bad idea since it's probably going to rain. i on the other hand made a stupid mistake also. i wanted to go outside and play greensleeves on my classical guitar and brought the printed tablature ,since i'm still learning it. it took about a minute to realize it was too humid and my guitar started to condense, just like a cool glass of water in the sun. and i ran back inside and did some damage control. tragedy was averted this time... but there was a death. common sense.
i just joined since i don't have anything to do. i'm just home alone with my classical guitar... well i should get going.

Nasi Lemak Sambal Chilli - Encore!
Sambal tempeh
This fiery dish is perfect for the cool, rainy weather we've been enjoying. Even better, there is only 1 skillet to wash up! Yay!
- 1 tempeh, cut into small pieces
- 1 tbsp (or more) sambal (homemade or storebought)
- A few stalks of french beans, sliced
- A handful of cashew nuts
- Some water or chicken stock (on standby)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
1. In a skillet, heat up some oil. Add garlic and fry briefly. Toss in french beans and fry till almost cooked. Add some water or chicken stock if too dry.
2. Add tempeh and continue frying. Again, add some water or chicken stock if it's too dry.
3. Throw in cashew nuts just before turning of the flame. Mix and toss briefly. Add salt if desired, and you are ready to serve.
Another dish I made was Sambal Ikan Bilis (dried anchovies), which was all I needed to go with my Nasi Lemak (coconut rice). Yummy!
Nasi Lemak in its simplest form. Of course you can add on your fried chicken, fried fish, eggs and otak-otak.
Whoever first thought of cooking rice with coconut milk is a genius. This was breakfast ... and it was worth waking up for! :)
(for Sambal Ikan Bilis)
1. Fry some ikan bilis (dried anchovies) till crispy.
2. Add some sambal chilli and toss well before turning off the flame.
(for coconut rice, from Lee Wee & Brothers)
Serves 5
- 370g rice, rinsed
- 625ml water
- 10 tsp thick coconut milk (the creamy layer)
- 3g salt (just a pinch)
- 4g ginger, sliced
- 3 pandan leaves, knotted
1. Put rice, water, coconut milk, salt, ginger and pandan leaves in an electric rice cooker. Mix well, cover and cook.
2. When rice is done, stir it gently with a pair of chopsticks to fluff it up.
* Note that I have not used the above recipe. When I cook coconut rice, I don't use ginger. And I tend to be very generous with my coconut milk (or cream, as I sometimes also use). However, since this recipe comes from a famous name in Nasi Lemak, I thought I'd share the original here with everyone.

How long does the anchovy sambal last? I'd love to make it up this week, but don't want it to end up going bad if I don't use it all right away. Or is it the kind of thing you always make fresh right when you need it?ReplyDelete
Ju, my mouth is watering! These both look so delicious.ReplyDelete

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - The no texting while driving law has been in effect for 10 days in Colorado and local law enforcement says people are either obeying or they just aren't catching them.
Not one ticket has been written in the Grand Valley for the offense.
11News checked with Colorado State Patrol, the Mesa County Sheriff's Office and the Grand Junction, Fruita and Palisade Police Departments and found they haven't issued any tickets.
As of December 1 it became illegal to text while you're behind the wheel. The new law isn't just for texting. Anytime you're looking down at your cell phone for any reason, even dialing a number, you can be pulled over.
It's a $50 fine the first time and $100 the second.
KKCO firmly believes in freedom of speech for all and we are happy to provide this forum for the community to share opinions and facts.

Marine Veterinary Colleges and Schools in the U.S.
Marine veterinarians specialize in the treatment of aquatic creatures, such as whales, sea turtles and fish. Some of these veterinarians work at aquariums and zoos. Veterinarians and veterinary students can find aquatic animal education programs at universities, vet schools, nonprofit organizations and the military.
How to Select a Program for a Marine Veterinarian Career
Licensed veterinarians and veterinary students wishing to specialize in aquatic animal health care can find certificate programs and workshops in the aquatic animal field or apply for a marine internship or residency program.
Considerations for Choosing a Program
- Length of program
- Level of experience
- Area of focus
Length of Program
Internships, externships and workshops are generally shorter in duration than residencies, which can last up to three years. Veterinary students often apply to these programs during their third or fourth year of vet school so that they have a solid understanding of veterinary medicine.
Level of Experience
Workshops and externships are open to students and licensed veterinarians, while internships and residencies are typically post-DVM programs. Residents and interns help treat various marine animals, keep records and participate in post-mortem exams. Aspiring marine veterinarians hoping to seek employment at zoos or aquariums should look for programs that offer research and publishing opportunities.
There are limited internship and residency programs in the marine veterinary field. As a result, these programs have limited enrollment, are highly selective and usually give preference to applicants with the most experience. Prospective students should gain as much clinical experience as possible through volunteer opportunities, internships and research assistantships before applying for a program.
Area of Focus
Certificate and workshop education programs are intended to provide practicing veterinarians and veterinary students with a deeper understanding of aquatic species, including marine mammals and birds, reptiles and fish. Internships and residencies are basically a combination of learning and employment, so the area of focus is often more narrow.
Aquatic Animal Program Overviews
Certificate Programs and Workshops
Certificate programs and workshops are available for veterinary students along with working professionals. Programs vary in length and cover topics such as the following:
- Diseases in warm water fish
- Conservation
- Sea vet clinical training
- Topics in aquatic animal health
Internships and Residencies
Internships are commonly available to those with a DVM degree, but some are open to 4th-year veterinary students. Internships tend to be shorter than residencies and can last between 4-6 weeks. Veterinary residency programs can last up to three years and are intended for individuals who have completed veterinary school. Opportunities are available through the U.S. military, veterinary schools, nonprofits and veterinary hospitals. Areas of focus vary depending upon the organization. Some of the duties of an intern might include:
- Overseeing nutrition and sanitation
- Helping with staff development regarding animal care
- Comprehensive health assessments

General news
05 July 2013 07:30
It's been described as motorcycle sport in its purest form. But the Isle of Man TT hasn't always been just about sport.
In 1939, the world's most spectacular motorsports event became a propaganda exercise for the Nazis.
With Czechoslovakia and Austria already under German control, and war with Britain looming, the Nazi propaganda machine viewed sporting victory as a means of demonstrating international dominance. A victory at the TT, at the time the pinnacle of motorcycle sport, would be a coup.
In the official TT database of race records, the entry for the year says: 'As war clouds gathered in 1939, the German government was determined to boost national prestige by dominating every international sporting event, and the TT races were no exception.'
Less than three months before the start of war, German riders with Swastikas on their leathers arrived in Douglas to stamp their dominance on the annual races.
Six of the riders – Ewald Kluge, Heinrich Fleischmann, Karl Bodmer, Wilhelm Herz, Otto Rührschneck and Karl Gall - were stormtroopers in a paramilitary organisation run by the Nazi party.
The National Socialist Motorised Transport Corps, or Nationalsozialistische Kraftfahrkorps (NSKK), existed to motorise the German military by training drivers and riders.
The other two riders – Siegfried Wünsche and Georg Meier – were soldiers in the German army.
Kluge, Fleischmann and Wünsche were riding for DKW; Bodmer, Herz, and Rührschneck for NSU; Meier and Gall for BMW.
Kluge was an NSKK Sturmführer, or assault leader, and had been a member of the Nazi party since 1937.
The riders were accompanied by Erwin Kraus, who was introduced in the Manx press as a representative of the German equivalent of the Auto-Cycle Union, the sport's government body in Britain.
But Kraus did not hold a civilian post. He was a senior Nazi Party official and head of the NSKK. The paramilitary organisation had taken over all German motorcycling and motoring clubs in 1933, effectively seizing control of motorsport. Subsequent international motorsport events had been treated as Nazi propaganda exercises.
The NSKK had brought with it its Nazi philosophy, spelling an end to the careers of 'non-Aryan' riders, who were not permitted to compete. Leo Steinweg, a successful former DKW factory rider, had been forced to flee Germany because of his Jewish background.
NSKK Obergruppenführer Kraus moved in the highest circles of the Nazi Party, appearing publicly with Hitler at motorsport events.
Not everyone accepted the German effort on purely sporting terms. But Kraus proved capable of silencing critics.
Isle of Man Weekly Times editor George Brown wrote a lead article attacking Hitler and criticising British riders competing for German and Italian teams.
Brown wrote: 'Of course we don't want German or Italian riders to win and still less do we desire a victory for a British rider using a German of Italian machine… There is more than a chance that the countries these famous British riders represent will be at war with Britain before the year is out.'
Brown was sacked from a post as a BBC radio race commentator as a result of his outburst.
A letter from the BBC's regional programme director informed him: 'We feel it would be most inadvisable at the present time for us to be associated with an element of political controversy in what we feel should be regarded purely as a sporting event.'
In his book The Nazi TT, Roger Willis suggests the BBC 'had been bullied into ditching Brown' by Kraus.
Kraus had complained to his ACU counterpart, who referred the matter to a senior UK government representative on the Isle of Man, Lieutenant Governor Vice Admiral William Leveson-Gower.
DKW PR man and Nazi Party member Karl Kudorfer told a newspaper: 'The protest was lodged because we took exception to remarks about Herr Hitler.'
Willis writes that Kraus, Leveson-Gower and the BBC's TT producer, Victor Smythe, had dined together. 'It is likely that Leveson-Gower… simply had a word with the BBC,' he says.
The stage for the Nazi propaganda coup was cleared.
All three German marques had despatched state-of-the-art works race bikes. BMW had brought its supercharged 500cc 255 Kompressor. The boxer-twin made nearly 70bhp – much more than the British singles of the time. It was also lighter than British machines.
Meanwhile Norton had initially decided not to compete at all because of a commitment to a military contract. The factory had eventually changed its mind and sent 1938 machines for Harold Daniell and Freddie Frith to ride.
Velocette had answered BMW with its own new supercharged twin, the Roarer, conceived and developed in under a year – and reportedly still being assembled on the ferry to the Douglas.
The German teams were denied in the Junior race by Irishman Stanley Woods, who claimed his 10th and last TT victory on a Velocette. Daniell finished second on a Norton and Fleischmann third on a BMW. Frith had led until the last lap, when his Norton had developed engine problems.
The Lightweight race, held in poor weather, brought a surprise win for Ted Mellors on a Benelli single, the Italian factory's first ever TT victory. Kluge finished second on a DKW.
According to the TT database, 'Everybody, both on the island and in Germany, was waiting for the Senior and the clash of the supercharged BMW twins and the all-conquering British singles.'
The BMWs had put in a fast practice session, reaching a top speed of 135mph. Georg 'Schorsch' Meier had achieved the fastest practice lap, at 90.27mph. Jock West, a British rider in the BMW team, was third place on the leaderboard behind Stanley Woods on a single cylinder Velocette – the Roarer twin had not materialised.
But one of the BMW team – Karl Gall – had suffered injuries that would prove fatal. Gall crashed on his first practice lap at Ballaugh Bridge on June 2. He died on June 13.
Meier and West decided to continue. When Friday's Senior race came, the weather had transformed to dry and sunny.
The previous year's winner and outright lap record holder, Norton-mounted Harold Daniell, was soon passed by Woods.
Woods and West were neck-and-neck. But Meier was 52 seconds faster than either on the opening lap, with a 90.33mph average speed from standing start.
On lap two, West took a five second lead over Woods and Meier went even faster, with an average of 90.75mph.
West increased his advantage over Woods in lap three, storming to 15 seconds ahead. Then Woods lost time in a fuel stop, when his engine took more than half a minute to fire. Meier was now a minute-and-a-half in front after matching his opening 90.33mph lap.
By lap five, Woods had lost third place to Frith and regained it again. But Meier proved the fastest again. He pulled to two minutes ahead of second-placed West and more than three minutes in front of Woods.
In lap six, the gaps between the three leading riders closed. Woods closed on West by seven seconds, but was still 58 seconds behind. It was too late.
After a fuel stop by West at the start of the seventh and final lap, Meier took first place by two minutes and 20 seconds. Frith overtook Woods in the last lap to take third place behind West.
Roger Willis says in his book, The Nazi TT: 'The ensuing winners' enclosure spectacle was unprecented for what the mealy-mouthed BBC had insisted was a purely sporting rather than political event.
'Team management and mechanics fell in alongside Meier and their right hands went up in unison for the Nazi "Heil Hitler" salute. A sporting gesture? Jock West stood next to Meier, looking bemused and fiddling with his gloves. The Führer most emphatically had his propaganda coup.'

It was all a long time ago , and the story has been told over & over , and it is now irrelevant . Sport & politics should have always been separate , Nazi win[s] would have proved nothing , the Nazi superman may have had a relevance in field sports , but any nation could have built a winning machine - in theory ! .

Great story and the politics of the time are not relevant. Most of the athletes, including the UK gave the Nazi salute at the 1936 Olympics.
07 July 2013 20:45
And I thought
that George Formby won it!
OK, that was the 1935 movie, No Limit, but it was one of the very few movies that showed the Swastika at a sporting event, and is apparently the only record on film of the Swastika flying at the TT.
05 July 2013 14:22
Thanks for the little history lesson Steve
Meier and that Kompressor on song must have been a sight to behold at the time though. Regardless of the politics (and nobody can hold a mere solider responsible for the ethos of the NAZI party. Who knows what Georg's own thoughts were) that is one iconic motorcycle and rider combo.

Location, location, location — if what the property experts say is true, then the Grand Hotel Du Palais Royal on Rue Saint-Honoré in central Paris couldn't be more well-placed. Standing on our narrow fifth-floor balcony, a delightful view of La Basilique du Sacré Cœur de Montmartre can be seen to the right, and to the left, the Louvre. A short, three-minute walk brings one to the famed museum's glass pyramid, Comédie-Française and the banks of the Siene, and right into the heart of the fashion district.
I mean, c'mon, that view, that glistening pool, the cocktail that will undoubtedly be in your hand—don't act like you're not impressed by Six Senses' first European property. Located in the Portuguese UNESCO World Heritage area of the Douro Valley, the well-known spa brand is expanding in the region's wine country with an opening slated for spring of 2015.
As a major metropolis at the crossroads of China and the Pacific, Hong Kong has one of the highest per-capita numbers of luxury hotels in the world. With all that competition, some of the city's top properties are providing a slew of unique amenities and offerings to separate themselves from the pack and to woo luxury travelers. Here are five Hong Kong hotels offering exclusive experiences you can expect on your next stay.
It has been a rough few years for Bali. Once the premier luxury Southeast Asian beach destination for jetsetters and backpackers alike, the island suffered a downturn after the 2002 bombings (Eat, Pray, Love popularity notwithstanding), and a raft of new competing destinations like the Maldives, Koh Samui in Thailand and Danang in Vietnam began to grow in popularity.
It is rare to find a hotel that blends luxury, history and a unique sense of place under one roof, but travelers who venture to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of Luang Prabang, nestled at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, can find all three at Amantaka.
Rosewood Hotel Group is noted for selecting iconic historical structures and restoring them to their splendor, while adding the modern amenities that discerning guests expect. After five years of painstaking renovation by Delta Land Development Group,Vancouver's Hotel Georgia is back to its legendary status.
It's pretty hard to miss Burj Al Arab in Dubai; one, because it is the only structure sitting at the end of a curving causeway that connects it to the mainland, and two, because it is shaped like a sail off the Persian Gulf coast. While the building itself is stunning, the property is just as notable and is consistently voted one of the world's most luxurious hotels.
Always looking to add new and wonderfully luxurious perks to travelers who choose their hotels, Four Seasons has recently unveiled a new set of activities through a program called "Extraordinary Experiences." At numerous Four Seasons locations around the globe, guests have the chance to partake in truly marvelous adventures.
Many of Asia's cultures have a long history of healing techniques and traditional medicines. Some of the continent's top luxury hotel spas now incorporate these treatments into their menus for the ultimate pampering experience. In my search for Asia's best spa treatments, I came across four that stood out above the rest:
On the day you check-out of a hotel, there is nothing quite as bothersome as waking up to the thought that in a few hours, you'll have to be packed and out of the room. Sure, a late checkout (1 p.m.) is nice, but The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte wants to take things one step further and give its guests more time at their five-star hotel.
Benguerra Island isn't the easiest beach destination to reach in Africa, but once you arrive on the unspoiled island with a population of 2,000, it's easy to realize that the trip was well worth it. Located off the coast of Vilanculos, Mozambique, Benguerra Island (pronounced Ben-gwer-a) is only accessible via helicopter or private plane, which is its own mini-adventure offering picturesque views of the Indian Ocean and small villages below during the short 15-minute flight.
Lying between southern Italy and northern Africa, Sicily presents an attractive, all-year-round climate with which to indulge in its many activities. Following a recent 1,242-mile drive around its winding coastline and into its more mountainous territory, we discovered a few ways to enjoy Sicily's many offerings.
Free time is often filled these days with the buzz of TVs, the Internet, smartphones, tablets and video games, and many of the joys of life seem to have been swept under the rug. Whether intentional or not, Palladio Hotel & Spa by the Bauer Hotel group is combating the current focus on tech entertainment by offering its guests a reason to get outdoors this summer.
Gazing out through my sixth floor window at the inner garden courtyard of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Paris, I was intrigued to see several beehives on a ledge, their flighty inhabitants innocently at play. I later learned that the hotel hosts around 50,000 bees, which thrive in the pesticide-free Parisian environment and help pollinate the sweet-smelling flowers in the garden terrace (where the Camélia restaurant is housed). They also provide more than 30 kilos of delicious honey for chefs' use in desserts and other dishes.
It's nearly wedding season, so congratulations to all couples en route to their "I do" moment. We won't say "en route to the altar," because altars aren't a necessary element anymore—and neither are white dresses, seating arrangements or shoes, for that matter. A luxury wedding in 2014 is all about creating maximum joy and meaningfulness for the couple and the guests. If traditions fit into the plan, great, if not, they get a reboot. Here are some of our favorite trends, sourced from wedding experts in top destinations.

November 28, 2014
Today, the Marathon County Alcohol & Other Drug Partnership Council has released a few new strategies to address the increase in heroin abuse in our area.
Heroin abuse is on the rise in our state, and Thursday morning the council hosted a press conference highlighting the Pushback Against Drug Abuse initiative and heroin's continued impact on Marathon County.
Melissa Dotter, the drug free communities program coordinator, said the number of heroin overdoses in Marathon County has increased from 2012 to 2013 by 217 percent.
"It's definitely something that's impacted our community," said Dotter, "It's such a strong addiction, that we really have been seeing it just hit all different levels."
A new state report was released to address the heroin epidemic, listing strategies and recommendations to assist communities in their fight against the drug.
"The recommendations include increasing access to treatment for all individuals," said, Dotter, "Whether you're incarcerated, whether you're pregnant, and especially for our adolescent population, which there's a great need."
Dotter said the use of narcan to reverse a heroin overdose has also made a huge impact on the fight against the epidemic.
"The increase use of narcan in the community has saved a lot of lives, and without it we would be having a lot more young people buried," said Dotter.
The conversation on heroin abuse will continue at the partnership's September opiate summit, held at the Aspirus Medical Center on September 26.

Editor's Note: Your stories help us serve our customers better, and we love to hear from you! From time to time, we'll feature stories or letters you have shared that highlight our commitment to outstanding service. We look forward to hearing how we may have helped make your day brighter.
It goes without saying that communication and information are key to all of us during inclement weather. Lightning during the afternoon rain storms can sometimes become a concern.
A customer from Palm Bay, Florida wrote us to say:
Our house got hit by lightning and completely burned out our phone lines and cable. Within hours, the first tech arrived and got temporary phone service and access to our cable. The following day they responded and replaced all the phone lines and cable lines and, with a few bumps here and there, everything is up and running. I realize that other people read these blogs and also hope people understand how the service techs go above and beyond for the customer. My hat's off to Greg for the great help on the day the lightning hit. Again I can't thank them enough for the service that was provided.
A Melbourne Beach, Florida couple shared a similar experience:
A recent lightning storm knocked out our cable service. We called Bright House Networks and they scheduled a service man for the following day. Kyle arrived, right on schedule. He came to the front door, was extremely polite, and after checking everything he explained what he would have to do. The underground service line was damaged and had to be replaced. He quickly ran a new line, and also replaced the modem and several other items. We were very pleased and impressed with how polite, professional, and competent Kyle was. Thank you Kyle and Bright House Networks!

The Theory of Communicative Action: Lifeworld and system : a critique of functionalist reason
Beacon Press, Mar 1, 1985 - Philosophy - 464 pages
Juergen Habermas opens Volume 2 with a brilliant reinterpretation of Mead and Durkheim and then develops his own approach to society, combining two hitherto competing paradigms, "system" and "lifeworld." The strength of this combination is then demonstrated in a detailed critique of Parsons's theory of social systems. Concluding with a critical reconstruction of the Weberan and Marxian treatment of modernity and its discontents, Habermas sets a new agenda for the critical theory of contemporary society. The combination of historical and theoretical sweep, analytical acumen and synthetic power, imagination and engagement mark this as one of the great works of twentieth-century social theory.
