No comments necessary!
Taking care of your health and beauty is even more important when on holiday. Discover insider tips on maintaining your holiday healthy and beauty, from the best sun creams on the market to the best cure for mosquito bites – Purple Travel
No comments necessary!
Ladies! Winter is nearly done (we hope!) for good and spring is tiptoing slowly, ensuring you're lusting after golden beaches, aqua parks and holidays in the sunshine. It's also the time when tights are banished to the back of the wardrobe, miniskirts are taken out and oh yes, bikini time.
With the summer fast approaching and the images of powder white beaches , celebs looking amazing in tiny two pieces and the lure of sunshine, it's a good time to think about getting in shape now. So, your friends at Purple Travel k decided to give you some tips on how to get ready for summer with our bikini diet tips.
What to eat
Vegetables - Chock full of nutrients, vegetables have always been supporters of our health and shape; therefore stock up and feel the weight drop off.
Leafy greens: For a meal without calories opt for a hearty salad which will certainly satisfy your hunger and won't leave you with a bulging stomach.
Red Bell Peppers: this valuable food stimulates the digestive system and boosts your metabolism.
Peppermint: to feel as light as a feather have some peppermint leaves that reduce bloating and indigestion.
Fruits – Apart from their nutrient and vitamin value, mother nature's best natural products not only benefits our body, but also helps our minds. Apples, oranges, berries, make us feel happier, thanks to their healthy content and utter deliciousness! Prepare a simple fruit salad with pineapple, berries and apples and say goodbye to annoying cellulite.
Fish – Forget the fatty sausages or bland chicken and go for fish! Have a low-calorie salmon meal which will supply your body with good omega 3 saturated fats.
Greek Yoghurt – The best solution for your daily calcium intake, it has zero fat and can be easily eaten plain or mixed with some fruits, or added to sauces, or savoury dishes.
Raw nuts – Nutritious, quick snacks with healthy fats, fibre plant sterols and many vitamins and minerals, raw nuts pack a powerful nutritional punch, all wrapped up in a tiny bite-sized package.
Exercise tips
For workaholics, the really busy ones or gym haters here are some exercise tips to help you either improve or keep in shape.
Tip 1: Give up email! If you want to share something with a colleague just walk to their office and have a chat. Every step counts – but you can always get a nice chat out of it too.
Tip 2: Improve your posture while sitting on your office chair, sit up straight and contract your tummy – this counts as an abs excercise even if you don't feel it.
Tip 3: Avoid lifts. Try using the the stairs for some calorie burning, even if it's just one or two floors worth. If you get public transport, get off the bus or tube one stop early and walk the extra few minutes home or to the office.
Tip 4: No need to drop yourself on the couch while watching your favourite series. Do some free weightlifting (even with two tins of beans!) or some gentle hip exercises to make your pastime a useful one.

City running: The New York City run is one of the top marathons around the world, with plenty of space for spectators. Around two million people throng the city streets each year just to cheer on their favourites. Entries are by lottery, so get your application in by April for your chance to run through all five boroughs. (November 10, 2013.)
Ice, Ice, Baby: The Antarctic Ice Marathon is one for the hardcore. Running on ice with temperatures dropping below 0, it's certainly one for the absolutely committed… and a little crazy! (November 20, 2013.)
Desert Running: From one extreme to another, how about a six stage trek through the Sahara in Morocco. Temperatures can top 100 degrees, sandstorms can temporarily blind you and there are no shops to stop and pick up a handy bottle of water, all your supplies go on your back. (March 17, 2013)
Safari Marathon: A double loop around Kenya's Lewa Wildlife Conservancy will take you past zebras, giraffes and plenty of other wildlife. Try not to worry too much about lions and tigers – rangers and helicopters are on hand to rescue any runners that might come a cropper. (June 22, 2013.)
Great Wall adventure: How often will you get to walk on the Great Wall of China, let alone race along it? You'll certainly feel like you've completed a workout over the gruelling but picturesque 5164 steps and paths. (May 18, 2013.)
The classic: The Athens City Marathon is the stuff of legend, literally. The home of the first ever marathon, it follows the route of a messenger who was delivering the news of Greece's victory in the Battle of Marathon. It's told he made his winning cry before collapsing on arrival in Athens. Today, the epic run finishes in the historic Olympic Stadium in the centre of the city. (November 10, 2013.)
Rookie runners: The Walt Disney World Half Marathon weekend is a good place to start for beginner runners. You can take the kids for an adventure of a lifetime and get a family run in at the same time. (February 22-24, 2013)
Rural running: The Connemarathon in Ireland will take you over mountains, glacier lakes, bogs and rolling hills and countryside of the West Coast. A great way to discover the Emerald Isle running a marathon with a difference. (April 7, 2013.)

Rather than letting yourself go on holiday, keep your New Year's resolutions in mind and join in these activities that will burn calories without you even having to try. Sand, sea and warm weather provide an excellent environment for keeping fit, proving as effective as slaving away in the gym all day (and without the discomfort and monotony). Here we reveal just how many calories you can burn in ten minutes on the beach without even realising.
Swimming in the sea
Sea swimming is one of the best all-round exercises there is as it uses all of the major muscle groups simultaneously. What's more, sea swimmers will build up their strength, stamina and flexibility, creating long, lean muscles and a slim and toned overall look. Sea swimming also tones up your legs, arms and torso much quicker than pool swimming due to the resistance of the waves and the fact that swimmers generally spend longer in the sea as there is no end point.
Ten-minute calorie burn: 79 calories
Walking on the beach
Walking along the beach, even gently, can afford a surprisingly energetic workout, using between 20 and 50 per cent more calories than the same walk on a flat surface. Try walking at a distance further away from the waterfront as the softer the sand, the greater the resistance and therefore the harder the workout.
Ten-minute calorie burn: 79 calories
Playing Frisbee on the sand
While only a moderate aerobic activity when played on a flat surface, playing Frisbee on the beach works both your lower and upper body quite vigorously. You will unknowingly workout your biceps, shoulders and tummy muscles, with added resistance from the sand.
Ten-minute calorie burn: 66 calories
Running in the waves
Kicking your way through the waves offers a highly cardiovascular workout with all the benefits of resistance training. Water is almost 15 times more resistant than air, meaning you can burn nearly 20 calories per minute – twice as much as running on a dry surface.
Ten-minute calorie burn: 200 calories
Playing racquets
Bat and ball games as well as being fun, are actually quite an intense workout. You can work your torso, upper arm and shoulder muscles, and, if you play on the beach, the sand will help to reduce the impact on your joints, while still improving your strength.
Ten-minute calorie burn: 72 calories
Getting stuck in to some beach volleyball
This extraordinary sport increases your aerobic capacity while also toning up your body. Playing on the sand, much like with raquets, reduces the impact on your ankles, working your triceps, shoulders, quads and calf muscles without damaging you joints.
Ten-minute calorie burn: 84 calories

After a month spent knocking back mince pies and downing one too many glasses of mulled wine, January is an international period of detox. For some, this necessitates a strict diet of raw food and juices, while others just need a week away to recover mind, body and soul. Here, PurpleTravel.co.uk searches for the top ten New Year detox holidays. Attention please…

If you're seeing bumps on your behind, don't worry – you're in good company; some 90 per cent of women have cellulite. Luckily, with this guide to how to get rid of those dreaded lumps, you'll be beach ready in no time.
First of all, what is cellulite?
Cellulite is fat cells found underneath the top layer of the skin that have squeezed between bands of connective tissue, or collagen, attaching your muscle to your skin. Cellulite is actually composed of water, toxins and fatty tissue cells that build up under layers of skin and causes pressure on the connective tissues of muscles. This concentration of body elements causes the skin to take on an orange-peel like texture. While the structure of women's connective tissue is vertical (like mattress springs), men's collagen is angled, which means that fat cells don't push through and pucker as much – the reason why virtually no men have cellulite.
What causes cellulite?
Dermatologists believe that bad circulation can intensify the appearance of lumps. "When blood flow slows, collagen separates, allowing fat to come up to the surface of the skin, creating an orange-peel effect," says Howard Murad, MD, a FITNESS advisory board member and author of The Cellulite Solution. However, the main causes of cellulite are unhealthy diets and lack of exercise.
Cellulite builds up mostly in the stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs or on the back part of the legs – areas with deeper skin pockets that tend to retain more fat. This causes poor blood circulation to affected skin tissues, creating a dimpled, uneven surface.
Even though weight gain or obesity are often coupled with cellulite, other known factors include family genetics, hormone imbalances that usually occur during within the life cycle , and in women, high levels of Estrogen have been shown to cause cellulite formations.
How to get rid of cellulite naturally
Cellulite can be eliminated or reduced through regular exercising and a healthy diet. Regular running, aerobics, yoga, swimming or cycling can have a huge impact. Exercise sweats out excess water and toxins, reducing fat deposits in the targeted areas and toning up body muscles, while healthy eating ensures your system is flushing out waste toxins. Your nutritional diet should include dairy products and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are very helpful in removing toxins and providing many beneficial vitamins and minerals. Avoid processed foods, which are rich in saturated fats and sodium such as fried foods, potato chips, cookies and especially pork meats and avoid alcohol at all costs – sorry guys!
Do creams really work?
Cellulite creams are often overrated. They are typically a short term solution if the main cause is not addressed. Many anti-cellulite creams available today contain Aminophylline, which is included in kola nuts, tea and in coffee beans. When Aminophylline is used as a topical cream it will remove excess moisture from the skin and help to minimize cellulite and other skin imperfections. The only drawback is that when water is consumed by the body it will replenish the treated areas and the skin will once again retain moisture.
The better cellulite creams contain L-Carnitine, which is naturally contained in the skin and supports the metabolism. Regular massage applications of L-Carnitine-based creams have been shown to reduce dimples and lumps in a matter of weeks. We recommend Shiseido anti-cellulite cream, available from most department stores and pharmacies.

Click here for PART TWO : HOW TO SURVIVE A BIKINI WAX
Click here for PART THREE : HOW TO BEAT RAZOR BURN
Click here for PART FIVE: HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT BIKINI FOR YOUR SHAPE
Holiday season may be coming to an end, but if you're jetting off to catch those last rays of sun some place tropical, then you'll want to be looking your best. The fourth part of our bikini survival guide is a guide to finding the perfect bikini for your frame. Read on for our expert tips on how to find the perfect bikini for body shapes of all types.
The secret to finding the perfect bikini for your figure is firstly to know your shape. Which one are you?
Hourglass | If your bust and hips are about the same width, but your waist is significantly smaller.
Athletic | If you're thin all around, with no significant difference between your hips, waist and bust, and a muscular build.
Pear | If your hips are significantly wider than both your waist and bust.
Apple | If your waist is significantly wider than your hips, and equal to or nearly as wide as your bust.
Next – assess the situation.
If you're hourglass | Hour glass figures benefit from fuller busts. However, these need support on the beach, so choose underwiring and full cups as you would with underwear.
Wider straps also help with uplift and prevent unsightly marks appearing on shoulders. Alternatively, halter necks can be adjusted for great shape and support. Be sure to balance the bikini so you don't look top heavy. Don't mix-and-matc! Wearing different colours on the top and bottom could make your body look disproportional.
If you're athletic | Feminine styles flatter an athletic physique. A halterneck will minimise large shoulders, while plunge fronts, tie tops and padding give a more glamorous shape. Pick the prettiest prints you can find – floral, animal, spots, tropical etc. High-cut legs divert attention from shoulders. Swap sporty styles and boy shorts for tie sides and mini briefs.DO: Make yourself look feminine. DON'T: Pick functional, sporty styles.
If you're pear-shaped | As pear shapes generally feature a smaller bust, you're lucky to be able to wear triangle tops. Less fabric shows off more bust, while gel-filled or removable foam pads add shape. Avoid attention-grabbing big pants and stick with mini briefs to ensure the focus is up top. Luckily, having a triangular body shape usually means you also have a relatively flat tummy, so don't be afraid to show it. Use colour and pattern to balance your body out visually; busy patterns draw attention, while dark, solid colours minimize attention. Try a patterned bikini top with a black bikini bottom.Play down fuller hips by choosing a very simple bottom.DO: Always look for bikinis sold as separates, so you can get two different sizes for your top and bottom. DON'T: Drown your assets in saggy, ill-fitting tops.
If you're an apple | If your tummy is a problem area, minimise it with larger bottoms, tankinis or styles with control panels. High-rise bottoms or shorts work best. Avoid fussy designs and opt instead for large prints or bold, colourful patterns. A tankini with padded cups will balance your shape and hide the tummy.DO: Choose high-rise bottoms and tummy control. DON'T: Let it all hang out over skimpy briefs.

Unsightly. Annoying. Difficult to avoid. While you may think this is a post about Kerry Katona, we're actually on about ingrown hairs. A common problem after waxing and shaving, these pesky, little blemishes can drive you absolutely mad. If you get the urge to irritate, pick, or squeeze them – STOP – they could become infected and turn into nasty, oozing boils. Gross, right? And definitely not the beach babe look you were aiming for. Here are are tips so you 'll beat razor burn and never worry again!
What causes razor burn?
Shaving. While you may shave (in particular around the bikini area) to look smooth and sleek, this is precisely what causes that ugly rash, which often looks far worse than those few strands of hairs did in the first place. Razor burn occurs primarily because most women shave improperly, which irritates their skin, taking off the outer layer of skin and literally injuring the skin tissues.
The body then responds to this as it does with any wound – it sends blood to the wounded area in order to heal it. The blood vessels dilate, the skin develops a rash, and hey presto, you have razor burn.
What can I do to prevent bikini line razor burn?
What can I do to get rid of ingrown hairs?
Bikini blemishes are more commonly known as ingrown hairs. These small, irritated bumps develop when strands of hair curl and grow back into the skin after shaving. Thankfully, there is an answer for how to get rid of razor bumps. Treatment includes gently lifting out the ingrown hairs with a tweezer and applying exfoliating and soothing lotions to the area.

DID considers bond for future projects
Date: December 3, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
With about $150,000 to devote to capital-improvement projects, it would take a number of years for the Downtown Improvement District to complete a large-scale project in Sarasota.
One of the men behind the creation of the DID believes he has the answer — a $1 million to $3 million bond.
John Moran, who helped sell the idea of the DID to the City Commission, said the property owners who fund the DID with tax dollars expressed the desire to transform downtown from good to "can't miss."
"You aren't going to get 'can't miss' unless you do 20 phases of $150,000," he said.
Moran referenced Golden Gate Point neighborhood's project it recently completed with a 20-year, $3.9 million bond. The project included bricking the entire street, creating sidewalks and installing new lighting and landscaping.
"If they can do it, can the DID do it?" Moran asked.
Through his research, Moran discovered that the DID would have to pay $70,000 in interest annually for each $1 million borrowed on a 20-year term.
One idea Moran has is a Golden Gate Point-type project on Main Street between Five Points and Gulfstream Avenue, with brick streets and improved landscaping.
"It could be phase one of (improvements to) the entire historic district," Moran said.
Earlier this year, the city was awarded historic-district status for the section of Main Street from Orange Avenue to Gulfstream Avenue.
Moran suggested an aggressive timetable for such a project, tying it into the construction of the Five Points roundabout and intersection improvements at Main Street and Palm Avenue, which is set to go to bid in January, to save time and money. Main Street will most likely be closed during that construction.
DID board members liked the idea of a bond, but felt a month was not a realistic timeframe.
"I like (the bond idea)," said DID Chairman Larry Fineberg. "It's something I can get behind. But I don't like rushing it or tying it to another project."
DID board members agreed to begin discussing the idea of initiating a bond, but said that it might be at least a year before it would implement one.
Moran believes that whenever the DID is ready, a $1 million bond is essential to achieving its goal of transforming downtown Sarasota.
"You can't go from good to 'can't miss' with six-figure numbers," Moran said.

|What is the best material and sealer to insulate a cold storage that is against an outside wall. Hope to hear from you soon.
Follow-Up Postings:
|For a "cold room," typically under a porch, use at least 2 inches of XPS tightly sealed. In Ontario, you don't have to provide further coverage. (At least, that's how the inspectors in TO have interpreted the OBC.) This should prevent condensation. You should also use a well sealed exterior door and provide venting. If this is actually a year-round refrigerated room, it's a different story.

Check out some of the accounts of soldiers who were hit three or more times, often several of those rounds in the torso, that were able to run out of the building.
The non LEO loadings are severely neutered, with light-penetrating V-max varmint bullets. While it could be lethal, so can a .22 short or a pellet gun; it's how effective it is in stopping a determined opponent that matters...and in that category, I think the 5.7 is severely lacking.

There is a reason they try and make small bullets act like big bullets--Glockmann10mm
There are two bullets currently on the general market. The one mentioned so far in this thread is the SS197 I believe. it is the blue polymer tipped bullet which is basically a varmint round. The other is the SS197LF. It is a hollow tipped design that is made to work more like a normal hollow point. If I had to carry a FiveseveN I would definitely use this one. And it is about the same cost as other premium defensive cartridges.
Bend the knees, smooth is fast, watch the front sight.
The muzzle velocity for the 5.7 out of a pistol is ~ 1650 fps, yielding ~ 250 ft/lbs of energy.
Very similar to the .22 WMR, and way, way less powerful than .223 Rem.

Thanks for that OldVet!
I'm not sure it would matter whether there is a round available to civies that would penetrate a BGs vest; it would only be a matter of time before it would be illegal for civies just like all the other rounds.
Something else that was interesting was, "FN states...that the 5.7x28mm has an effective range of 200 m (655 ft) and a maximum range of 1,800 m (5,905 ft) when fired from the P90,[33] and an effective range of 50 m (165 ft) and a maximum range of 1,510 m (4,955 ft) when fired from the Five-seven."
I realize its well over what we'd consider SD range, but still, 50 meters seems a bit marginal to me.
I'm too young to be this old!
Getting old isn't good for you!
As far as reloading is concerned, that is a no-go. The FN 5.7 is designed with a very specific pressure spike in mind, and it uses a proprietary powder. Less than precise loading and playing with the amounts and types of powder could cause the gun to Kb.
Tangle - there are VERY few pistols that will claim an effective range of more than 50m. Obviously, the actual maximum range will be much, much higher, but 50 is more or less the "standard" max effective range for almost all combat/duty/SD handguns.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.

The 197 ammo is a VMax round. It does fragment in interesting ways. I have read some ballistic tests done by some people that show an impressive initial wound channel.
The 195 round does have a hollow point, but it does NOT work as a traditional JHP. It does not open up like a JHP pistol round would. It actually "yaws" in the target, and should turn around. Ideally, it points back to the direction it came. In doing so, it makes a wound channel the length of the round in the area it does this "flip."
Personally, of the two factory rounds available commercially, I like the 197 round. I have two PS90s, and I keep the 197 ammo in both. You also get more FPS out of the PS90 than you do out of the FIve Seven.
I previously owned a Five Seven, but sold it in 2008 to help pay for a custom 1911. I have admittedly been thinking of maybe getting another. It's really cool with the 30 round extended mags (the last 10 rounds in the 30 rounder mags are a major pain to load, however).
I used to be the admin of the FN Forum, so I'm pretty familiar with the caliber.
I'm intrigued by it - but in my state limit is 10 rd mag, so half the reason for using it - high number of repeat shots - would be absent.
I think the real ?-marks about it's effectiveness as an SD weapon - where you don't want pass-throughs and you do want quick "stops" - is lack of use by professional police in the field.
And the price makes buying it as a "for the helluvit experiment" not a real option for most of us. Paying a thousand bucks I have to know from others' use - hopefully decades of it - I'm getting an effective weapon as SD - much better than what I've got. So, I don't think I'll be owning one soon. Now if it cost $80 I might.
Actually, one of the purposes of the weapon is to KEEP from having over penetration. The round breaks up on hard targets very well. The round will penetrate fewer interior walls than a traditional round. I've seen videos of the round breaking apart after hitting a couple of walls, and how it goes thru the first layer of a cinder block, but stops before going thru the second "wall" of the cinderblock (it never goes completely thru).
The round is also supposed to not suffer from over penetration of soft targets as much as other rounds do as well.
It's actually a pretty cool round, but to get heavier, more effective rounds requires using non FN rounds by Elite Ammunition.
Still, when I see wound channels in animals or large pieces of meat (where people cut them open to look at the cavity inside), I have been fairly impressed with the wound channel on the 197. I think aim is as important with this round as it is with all rounds.
Will a 45 do more damage? Yes - but this is a cool weapon too - with different advantages AND disadvantages.

|New thread because---
One of the people here has a son in Afghanistan in the army. His group is working with the locals as much as they can and found out the kids need shoes. A local moving company donated a small truck and it is parked in a church parking lot for donations. They have already sent 3-4 loads of shoes, mostly new or very little wear, some coats, blankets ets to his squadron. They then give them to the children for use. He said they really appreciate it. Once he comes back the program ends.

Verizon Needs the Apple iPhone in 2011: 10 Reasons Why
Verizon Needs the Apple iPhone in 2011: 10 Reasons Why
Speculation abounds over when, not if, Verizon is getting the iPhone. So far, neither Apple nor Verizon have publicly commented on the possibility of the venerable smartphone making its way to a new carrier in the United States. But as time goes on, it seems increasingly more likely that it will happen sooner rather than later.
But what if Verizon isn't the carrier that Apple chooses? What if the device is made available to T-Mobile customers instead? It could be disastrous for Verizon, and it could potentially set the company back in its bid to become the most dominant carrier in the market. Here are 10 reasons why the iPhone is so important to Verizon going into the next year.
1. It's expected
Just about everyone sees the iPhone on Verizon's horizon. With so many reports detailing the eventual release of Apple's smartphone to the carrier's stores, most consumers and enterprise customers are wondering when, not if, the smartphone will appear. If it turns out that Verizon doesn't get the iPhone, the negative effect on the carrier's business could be huge.
2. Current subscribers are waiting
Just as consumers and enterprise customers are waiting, so, too, are current Verizon subscribers. Some are sticking with Verizon simply because they believe that the iPhone is coming to their service soon. But if Verizon doesn't get the iPhone in 2011, some of those subscribers might opt to leave, rather than wait another year.
3. Customers will go to AT&T
Of course, if Verizon loses subscribers because they don't want to wait for the iPhone, those folks will hightail it over to AT&T. After all, AT&T is arguably Verizon's most capable competitor. And it currently offers the iPhone. You do the math. Most folks are willing to wait for a while, but another year is likely too much to ask.
4. Android can be a liability
Android OS has been the main reason Verizon has been able to compete in today's extremely competitive mobile landscape. But going forward, that could be a problem. There is no telling what Android's future looks like.
Verizon Cant Win with Just BlackBerry, Android Phones
5. Google's power consideration
As with other carriers, Verizon should be concerned about Google's growth in the mobile market. With a dominating operating system, the search giant could wield an unprecedented amount of influence in the space, which might eventually affect Verizon's business negatively. For now, Verizon needs Google as a technology and market ally. But if Google becomes too big in the mobile market, due in large part to Verizon's reliance on it, the carrier might be wishing for the iPhone more than ever before.
6. RIM won't cut it
Research In Motion is currently an influential and important mobile company, and it's helping Verizon generate significant revenue. But its influence is being diminished at the hands of Android OS and the iPhone. Should Verizon be forced to compete with BlackBerry and Android devices against AT&T-which has the iPhone as well as Android OS devices-it's hard to see how it will stay atop the mobile space for much longer. RIM just isn't enough to help Verizon in an iPhone-less world.
7. Apple keeps innovating
If Verizon doesn't get the iPhone in 2011, expect Apple to keep innovating, regardless of which carrier runs its device. And as those innovations continue, more and more consumers will want to get their hands on Apple's smartphone. Meanwhile, Verizon's value proposition will diminish. In fact, the company might have an extremely difficult time selling consumers on its service over AT&T's, which will undoubtedly continue to offer the iPhone. Simply put: Verizon needs to capitalize on Apple's new designs-it's imperative for its future success.
8. It makes future announcements suspect
The issue with all the news that has broken lately about Verizon getting the iPhone is that, if it doesn't, future announcements from the carrier will be suspect. And consumers likely won't believe that Verizon will actually get the device until it's available in company stores. Consumers don't like being told that something they've expected won't happen. Should those promises be made once again, well, "fool me once, shame on you . . . ," etc.
9. The financial impact could be huge
Verizon, naturally, wants to generate more money every year. If the iPhone hits its store shelves in 2011, the carrier can almost be assured profits will rise. But if it doesn't, the financial impact on the firm could be disastrous. Verizon will probably lose subscribers, resulting in a calamitous revenue decline. Plus, investors might opt for other stocks over Verizon's because the company wasn't able to ink a deal with Apple. Financially, an iPhone-less Verizon would be a very wrong number.
10. Another competitor could step in
In the end, it's entirely possible that Apple could offer its smartphone to an AT&T competitor that's not Verizon. In fact, T-Mobile might be one of the first companies Apple works with. T-Mobile is currently an iPhone partner in other countries, so why wouldn't Apple consider tapping it to be its U.S. iPhone carrier of choice? Verizon might seem like the obvious choice, but the company could, in the end, lose out to competitors. And that certainly wouldn't be good for business.

Retail, Transport Among Central Arkansas' Strengths in Economic Recovery
Posted 1/13/2014 12:00 am
Updated 11 months ago
Metroplan recently released its latest "Metro Trends: Economic Review and Outlook" report, in which the agency examines the region's rate of economic recovery four years after the official end of the Great Recession in June 2009.
"The Great Recession has caused some structural shifts to the local economy," said the report, written by Jonathan Lupton of Metroplan, the planning agency for Pulaski, Faulkner, Saline and Lonoke counties. The report studies economic data for the Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway metropolitan statistical area.
The accompanying chart, provided by Metroplan, compares the growth rate by industry sector between the United States as a whole and central Arkansas, looking at the 2011-13 period.
The area has seen a decline in the information, wholesale trade and government sectors. The retail trade sector has experienced the greatest growth, with transport warehousing and utilities closely following. However, the report said, the retail trade sector "has lower-than-average income per job, and faces poor long-term prospects as e-commerce replaces a growing share of retail sales."
"Location quotient analysis suggests the local professional/business services sector retains its traditional role as one of the regional strengths in the Central Arkansas economy," the report said.
More information can be found at Metroplan.org.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Room wasn't amazing for the cost of it.
Great service
this is by far my favourite delta hotel . its on the water, saltwater pool, real resort feel to it. you can rent bikes for 20$ and go into downtown . great amenities
its great to have a 24 hour pool, but the lighting at night is too strong and there is a big window, rather uncomfortable to swim knowing everyone walking outside can see you at night. no whirlpool :(
everything, excellent room,quiet surroundings,excellent facilities on site, prompt service......with a genuine smile!!!!
Absolutely no check in before three. We requested a one o,clock but were refused
Excellent room, overlooking the river. yoking and attentive staff, who were consistently helpful Jazz in the bar on Saturday was a highlight
Some good meals with the exception of very tough prime rib one night, but a tenderloin steak on another evening was delicious
Very comfortable hotel Good service and nice relaxing atmosphere
nice location right on the water, easy walk into downtown fredericton. starbucks in the lobby
Warm and welcoming desk reception!! Accommodating to our needs/wants! Would definitely recommend this hotel!
I didn't like that I paid $30 more because I booked on an external site not realizing that had I called the hotel directly I would have had a lower rate! Something I now know to do in the future!
Location of outdoor restaurant on St John river was great.staff were helpful & good. Gift shop in lobby had some great shopping!
Couldn't get wifi to work despite calls to the desk & IT
My husband and I and young son had a fantastic stay at the Delta Fredericton. It was absolutely everything we had expected and quite a bit more!! Staff at the restaurant were very knowledgeable about gluten intolerance and my food was absolutely fantastic - 'drunken scallops'! Yum. The hotel room was bright and modern and immaculate, super comfortable bed, amazing view of the river and sunset. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Wonderful breakfast in bed. Our son (age 3) cried when we left, so we know he really liked it too! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
The location on the river is very pretty.
Stayed at this hotel twice in a two week period on our way to and from the maritimes. Both times is was very noisy at night. The first time I called front desk about a party going on a few doors down. They did nothing about the noise and it continued for hours. Hardly slept that night. On our way back home we had already booked a room and decided to give it another try. Again we were told we were in a quiet location but all we could hear at night was doors slamming, people laughing etc. The restaurant was another story. On our first visit we waited almost an hour and a half for our food at the Dip.It was past 10 pm when we finally got our meals and my 6 year old was beside himself. The server was nice enough but should of given us our meal on the house. The secound time through we had our meals at DJ Purdys. The tables were dirty....never got cleaned and the floor was covered in dropped food and garbage. The meals were not cheap and the hotel charges a lot per night for a room. I expect a lot more for my money given how much we spent for meals and the rooms.
incredible location on the river, beautiful amenities, really a great hotel! 24 hour saltwater pool.
Modern room on upper floors well decorated and very confortable.
Only anoying mater: our room was close to the elevator and we could hear every chime of elevator doors opening.
Friendly staff and outdoor pool.
Pool was too cold. Took over an hour to get our dinner at the Dip restaurant. Party next door, told hotel manager but it carried on for hours.
Loved the view from river side room & pool/patio dining area
Indoor pool on the small side; decided not to use since a few other people w/children were using it.
Rooms were comfortable; clean; friendly staff
For us the hotel was the destination..especially the pool. However, on the Saturday (a hot sunny day) afternoon, hotel guests could hardly get near the outdoor pool due to the great number of non-guests using the facilities; The DJed music at pool-side was louder than a night club and made a leisurely afternoon with friends and family virtually impossible. Very disappointed in this atmosphere.
We stayed at the Delta on our way to PEI. The accomodations were fine. The area is close to downtown if you want to shop.
There were dust devils hanging from the ceiling in our room. Keep in my they had a power outage.
Post-tropical storm Arthur and a huge convention converged on the hotel while we were there. Booking.com listed the room as having a spa tub - which it did not. It was a recipe for disaster, but ultimately we had a most pleasant stay! We ordered a bottle of wine to the Mode Club Lounge and took advantage of the little balcony which we had to ourselves. For the hotel being as packed as it was - including a 20+ band jam session after midnight - it was ridiculously quiet. In fact, we can not confirm the jam session even happened as we only heard tell of it. Music gently wafted up to the balcony, but when we were in our room, we didn't hear a thing! Moreover, we were shocked to find trees toppled, streets littered with branches and flooding, and rampant power loss in Fredricton the next morning as - from our room - it just sounded like it was raining a bit outside. We had no idea! I blame the ultra-comfortable bed. Oh, and some nice touches in the room; real flowers and a fuzzy, dedicated bath mat.
The fact that booking.com listed this room as having a spa tub when it did not was wildly disappointing, but that is more of a booking.com snafu than Delta's, so I wouldn't hold it against Delta. [I had my suspicions going in as I always go to the hotel's website to confirm the amenities. Delta's description of the 'Mode Club King Room with Water View' did not include a spa tub.]
Free breakfast tickets! Very helpful and approachable staff! Very comfortable beds!
Parking can be a challenge when a special event is going on at the hotel.
All the details in the room. Cables to connect laptop to the tv. Nice bog tv. Practically decorated.
No complementary breakfast for a $200 room! Pool too crowded. Spiders in the windows, a lot of them. Have to clean from outside.
The restaurants, the service, and the clean quiet rooms!
