My wife and I were looking for a relaxing beach get-a-way week long vacation. White sand and beautiful clean water was a priority. B&B's are usually our preference. St. Pete was a logical end point for our itinerary but we had no idea what a gem it would turn out to be. St. Pete down town with its fine museums and restaurants and its upscale vibe was fun in its own right but The Tranquility Palms Inn, just a short bike ride along the water front away, quickly became the focal point of our stay. The accommodations were a finely crafted blend of neoclassical design and relaxed Florida luxury designed by the owner and operator, Morgan Gaffney. His good taste was surpassed only by his gracious bare foot hospitality which made it unexpectedly most enjoyable. It is not often that you can make friends with your host as a traveling guest. If you are in search of true value and wonderful accommodations while in the St. Pete area do not pass up this experience.

The Tranquility Palms Inn is more than your home away from home. It´s a dream come true. The owner and host, Morgan Gaffney, has created a luxury oasis in Snell Isle, the most affluent waterfront neighborhood in St. Petersburg. His exquisite taste is present in every room, every detail, which creates a space where you can, not only relax and enjoy, but be inspired, lifted! We were visiting friends in the area, looking for a place to stay. Having traveled quite extensively for many years, as travel journalist & photographer, we have been fortunate and featured several luxury boutique hotels in both Europe and the US for various magazines. I´m very happy to say: The Tranquility Palms Inn did not let us down. Yet, it was a new adventure for us this time as we were traveling with our 2 year old son. Hence, we were rather excited as we drove towards Snell Isle. Arriving at The Tranquility Palms Inn we were met by the most wonderful host whom our son immediately became fond of. Morgan Gaffney made us all feel most welcome, and during the breakfast sessions each morning he would prepare lovely dishes that we all enjoyed. Not to forget, his amazing mango from the garden. It was all such a treat for us, a family who had come all the way from chilly Norway. We stayed at The Tranquility Palms Inn in December, and was naturally prepared for all types of temperatures, but got lucky. While the rest of the country was in the «deep freeze» we were strolling around in the neighborhood in shorts and flip flops, gasping at the amazing Christmas decorations all over. At The Tranquility Palms Inn we enjoyed the heated pool that Morgan had prepared for us. I´m not sure who was the happiest, our son or us. It was truly a magic time. Our time at The Tranquility Palms Inn is a memory that will stay with us forever. We highly recommend checking in at 425 Lamara Way. All the best, Christopher and Charlotte Norway

A delightful place to stay. Peaceful, quiet, beautifully appointed, and a charming and welcoming host. There are only 3 rooms, which makes it seem more like visiting a friend's home. Each room has its own personality, but all 3 are lovely. There is a delightful pool with seating around it for restful down time, but even though this is a residential neighborhood, downtown is a short distance away for dining and entertainment. An excellent choice for anyone.

I am used to staying in full service hotels and only occasionally have I stayed in a b&b. I found Tranquility Palms while searching for a room in the St. Petersburg area to attend a business meeting and family event on the weekend. To be perfectly honest, I had modest expectations based on some past experiences. I could not have been more off base. Every once in a while you come across someone who loves what they do and it shows in their work. Upon my arrival I could tell that I made the right decision. The facility was spotless and beautifully appointed. French doors throughout, lovely furniture and the common areas really felt welcoming. Morgan has an attention to detail and customer service that is nothing short of exemplary. My room was as beautiful as it was comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic. In my room, The Grand Cayman Suite, there was also a French Door to the pool area where I went out and relaxed and took a call or two. The kitchen is an open style with granite countertops and top of the line appliances. Morgan made breakfast every morning with a focus on local, organic food. He made a fruit cup every morning with berries, bananas and mango's from his yard. I am not a mango guy, but I am now a Morgan's mango guy. Sweet, tasty, simply outstanding. Although I did not partake in the service, if you like he has beer, wine and other adult beverages for purchase. The Tranquility Palms is located no Snell Isle in St. Petersburg and the are is not only beautiful but historic and friendly. I was very comfortable walking around the neighborhood. The price I payed was very fair for the service I received. I could not be more happy. I highly recommend Tranquility Palms and the service that Morgan provides. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the Tampa Bay Area. Thanks, Brian Parsons

This is such a wonderful property! It's very luxurious and stylish compared to other places I looked at in the area. The innkeeper is a professional interior designer which shows in every aspect of this property. Upon arriving in St. Petersburg I had a snag in housing arrangements and needed a temporary place to stay while working on new arrangements. I did not consider staying elsewhere as my previous visit at the Tranquility Palms Inn was such an absolute pleasure. The rooms are always immaculately clean with very comfortable beds and luxurious amenities, including marble baths/showers. I love having private pool in the courtyard. It's a treat to wake up and take a swim before breakfast, however swimming under the stars at night is also wonderful ;) The interaction with other guests is wonderful, but at the same time if you want privacy this is one peaceful and quiet place to be!

Everything about our stay at the Tranquality Palms Inn was perfect. The house was beautiful, our room was spacious, clean, comfortable and georgeous as well. Morgan was the perfect host and was a very good cook. He also gave us very good tips on places to eat in beautiful St. Petersburg. I have already started picking out dates for our next visit back and would not think of any other place I would rather stay.

We stayed at The Tranquility Palms Inn for the weekend, and it was wonderful experience! Place is so beautiful, could not wish more for comfortable and relaxing stay. I love fine things, and this house has definitely met my expectations and beyond. Beautifully decorated, you have all you need, bed was very comfortable. Morgan, our host is very nice and intelligent man. He was very welcoming and made our stay perfect. Breakfast was delicious and healthy. Special thank you for the mangoes:) They were so delicious! Pool is so gorgeous with beautiful exotic garden! I loved it! Also, location is perfect for people who enjoy biking/jogging. Downtown is 1 mile away, which is very convenient. Can't thank you enough Morgan, I would definitely come back. Will tell all my friends about majestic The Tranquility Palms Inn.

Just saw your piece on hookworms on Miami Beach. Be aware that hookworms come from dogs also. Read up before you condem only cats. People take their dogs on beaches all the time. Both animals are responsible....esp found in kittens and puppies. This is why it's so important to take your animals to a vet when you first get them to be dewormed. Yearly exams will keep on top of this condition.
Best Tv Station Miami 1999 - WPLG-TV (Channel 10)
Readers' Choice: WTVJ-TV (Channel 6)
How do you improve what is already one of the top stations in Miami? What can be better than having Dwight Lauderdale and Kristi Krueger as anchors, than Rad Berky on the Eye-Team and Michael Putney filing solid political reports? How about adding Kelley Mitchell to the Night Team? Nah, there's no way that would happen, what with her being permanently linked to Rick Sanchez, at least in the public's mind. Yet somehow it has come to pass. Even months after she joined the Night Team, it's still startling to see her filing reports from the WPLG newsroom. Her jarring presence alone makes Channel 10 truly the one to watch.

maybe you can help me - I am trying to remember the name of the weatherman that was on a Miami station (not sure it was yours)-he was a short man with glasses and always wore bow ties. I remember weaver the weatherman but cannot remember the one with the bow ties. I lived in Broward County for 50 years - could you help me remember?Thanks!

January 21, 2005
After 16 years as Maricopa County attorney, Richard Romley is now free of the office and openly job shopping. The popular Republican says he might run for governor or congressman.
He leaves behind a fourterm epic run as the county's chief prosecutor, with a record scarred by relatively few scandals. His supporters love him for the same reason defense attorneys loathe him — he's tough on crime.
He took on lawmakers, police officials, slumlords, drug users and the Catholic Church, standing firmly upon what he said was a bedrock vision of justice.
But Romley, 55, also has his critics. They see him as harsh, inflexible and too worried about the politics behind every decision.
He never has faced a serious challenger in his political races, and if he does seek higher office, he's sure to be dogged by opposition researchers. A recent examination of Romley reveals discrepancies in his carefully molded public image, including an omission in his description of his private life.
Although he told the Tribune about only two marriages in a recent interview, including the one to his current wife, Carol, Romley has been married three times. The marriage he failed to mention lasted five years.
That wasn't the only time Romley's memory failed him during an interview last month. He misstated a key fact in one of the biggest cases of his career — the 1991 murders of nine people at the Wat Promkunaram Buddhist temple west of Phoenix.
He said he ordered the release of four Tucson suspects in the case before any other arrests had been made. The men, who had been implicated in the crime by a mentally ill informant, confessed initially but recanted just as quickly, saying they had been browbeaten by investigators. No evidence linked them to the crime scene.
"Tough call," Romley said with pride. "I just didn't believe the evidence added up."
The arrest of two Avondale teenagers came after the Tucson men were released, he repeated.
But Romley's memory of the issue was faulty. The teenagers, 17-year-old Jonathan Doody and 16-year-old Alex Garcia, were arrested about a month before the release of the "Tucson Four," after being found with the guns positively identified as the murder weapons. They also confessed — but didn't recant — and swore they didn't know the Tucson men.
Romley told a Valley newspaper the day before the Nov. 21, 1991, release, "The case is not the same as it was when we initially started. We've got the Phoenix people."
In an annual report Romley published last month, his staff also misstated the timing of events in the temple murders. The report notes the four suspects were released from custody because of an "act of personal courage" by Romley, and that "eventually," two juveniles were arrested in the crime.
Romley told the Tribune in a Jan. 3 follow-up interview that he was wrong, and he apologized for his previous misstatements. As far as the report goes, "I guess I'll have to make the correction in your newspaper," he said.
Clearly, Romley will have to keep explaining his successes against whatever his opposition tosses up in the future. And the gold-embossed annual report, which cost taxpayers $50,000, could be considered a head start.
The report — called "Focus on Excellence — Sixteen Years of Success: 1989-2004" — contains none of the numberheavy charts and tables in previous annual reports. The fullcolor 46-page book, however, does chronicle some important highlights of his career.
Romley won fame soon after being elected by teaming up with Phoenix police in 1990 for the AzScam investigation of corruption in the Legislature. The state was soon scandalized by undercover videos of lawmakers reaching for stacks of cash, which were bribes for their votes. Despite political pressure to drop the investigation, Romley pressed ahead with indictments against Republican and Democratic politicians, some of whom served prison sentences.
Romley, a champion of victims rights, lobbied hard for the passage of the Victims Rights Act in 1990, which was approved by voters.
In his fourth term, he gained international attention with an investigation into sex abuse by Catholic priests and his ground-breaking deal with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. The cover-up by church officials bothered Romley, a former altar boy, from the beginning, he said.
"How could the church as an institution . . . fail to address this?" Romley said. "They are supposed to be the moral compass for all of us."
The investigation revealed the former leader of the diocese, Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien, knew abuses were occurring but did nothing except transfer the accused priests, some of whom were accused of molesting more children later. O'Brien also told families of alleged abuse victims not to go to police.
Instead of prosecuting O'Brien, Romley obtained an unprecedented deal that forced church officials to revamp policies on dealing with abuse within its ranks. Eight Catholic priests were also indicted on charges of sexual abuse.
Romley said his solution for the priest scandal was better than anything yet to come out of the Vatican. If he had pressed for an obstruction-ofjustice trial for O'Brien, "they would not have removed him, and we would probably still be in court," he said. "The primary goal was to stop the abuse."
Two weeks after the deal was announced, O'Brien failed to stop and render aid after striking a pedestrian with his car. The man died, and O'Brien was later sentenced to probation for hit-and-run.
The "Focus on Excellence" report also touts Romley's tough antidrug policy, claiming the program "successfully met its goal to reduce the demand for illegal drugs while increasing public awareness about the dangers of drug use." Part of the program includes an award-winning Web site created in 2002,
Regarding his political future, Romley expressed concern that a vicious primary race for governor against a fellow Republican would leave both candidates "bloodied." He won't run for governor against Janet Napolitano in 2006 unless the Republican Party unites behind him, he said.
But, Romley goes against the Republican grain on one of the party's key issues — abortion.
"Primarily, this is a woman's choice," he said. "I do believe in reasonable regulations — parental consent and all those reasonable regulations — but I'm still prochoice over here."
His position is "not philosophically honest," he said. If a criminal shoots a pregnant woman and the fetus dies, he would want the person prosecuted for murder — "you've killed a child," he said.
Though he struggles with the issue of legal abortion, he would not "flip-flop" on his position, he said.
When asked about his private life, Romley described his first marriage to a "high school sweetheart" and his marriage in 1985 to Carol A. Haight, his current wife. County court records show he was also married to a third woman, Carol Sue Brown, from 1977 to 1982 — a fact that one of his former aides, Barnett Lotstein, said he didn't realize.
Romley said this week he hasn't discussed his second marriage publicly, until now. After returning from Vietnam with both legs amputated above the knees, Romley's first marriage ended in divorce and he won custody of his two young children. The second marriage turned out to be a mistake, he said.
"I was absolutely convinced I was trying to find someone to help with the kids. She was a fine woman," he said of Brown. "You get in a relationship — perhaps you go too quickly."
Romley's greatest legacy to the office of Maricopa County attorney may well be his twovolume policy book for prosecutors. Andrew Thomas, who was elected to Romley's former post in November, said he did not intend to toss out the rules, though he may alter some.
Romley's policies took much discretion away from his attorneys to decide how to charge and try cases — a fact he has been criticized for by local prosecutors, including former county attorney candidate Thomas McCauley.
The policy manual requires the office to charge cases only when there is a "reasonable likelihood of conviction," which critics claimed was to pump up Romley's record of successful prosecutions for political purposes.
Romley's reputation for only going after "sure things" and the high number of plea bargains the office made for criminals inspired a 2003 book about the office called "Down and Dirty Justice."
The book by Arizona State University professor Gary Lowenthal details the author's nine-month sabbatical as a temporary prosecutor under Romley. Filing charges in a case that lacked "jury appeal" was frowned upon, Lowenthal wrote.
"Most years, the county attorney had not proceeded with felony charges in 50 percent of police submittals," the book states. "Not surprisingly, within the ranks of law enforcement agencies there was a great deal of resentment."
But, Lowenthal also gives Romley credit for the policy manual system, which he said is crucial to maintain efficiency in one of the country's largest prosecution agencies. The office handles more than 45,000 felony cases each year, and a complicated jury trial ties up its resources.
"Mr. Romley was one of the pioneers in this country in creating these kinds of policy manuals," Lowenthal said in an interview. The manual kept in check the "beliefs, values and prejudices" of the office's 300-plus prosecutors, he said.
Georgia Staton, a Democrat who ran against Romley in 1988, said he "professionalized" the office with his policies.
Going after graffiti artists and slumlords, for example, made the Valley a better place to live, she said.
"Expanding the office beyond the prosecutorial role into the community action role — that is a huge difference," Staton said. "In partnering with people you wouldn't ordinarily think of — schools, agencies in various cities — that has a big impact on the development of the Valley."
Richard Romley career highlights
1989: Takes office.
1990: Voters approve victims rights initiative, which Romley had helped craft.
1991: Teams up with Phoenix police to run AzScam sting operation, which resulted in the indictments of seven state legislators and 11 other people on corruption-related charges.
Orders the release of four suspects in the infamous "Temple Murder" case a month after two juvenile suspects are arrested in the crime.
1993 Works with state lawmakers to create Truth In Sentencing law, requiring convicts to serve at least 85 percent of their sentences.
1995: Begins antigraffiti program that leads to 70 percent drop in graffiti in the Valley.
2001: Investigates and later indicts Brian Finkel, an outspoken Valley abortion doctor, on sexual abuse charges. Finkel is later sentenced to 34 years in prison. 2002: Begins investigating sexual abuse allegations in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix.
2003: Makes deal with Bishop Thomas J. O'Brien that allows O'Brien to escape obstruction of justice charges, yet requires changes in diocese policies regarding sexual misconduct. Two weeks later, O'Brien is arrested in fatal hit-and-run.
2004: A federal jury finds Romley retaliated against a female employee at the county attorney's office who complained of sexual harassment by one of Romley's top aides.
Later in the year, Chandler police officer Dan Lovelace, accused by Romley of murder in the shooting of a woman, is acquitted.

Question: Is 13 too young to date?
Total Votes: 503
My just turned 13 in January dd asked me last night if she could on an actual date to the movies with a 14 yr old boy that she met via Instagram. We live in a relatively small city. Only about 300,000 people...
They have been talking/texting/Kik ing/facetiming (I've seen the kid on facetime)..... For about a month or so now.
I don't know this kid. She has never met him in person, that I know of.
In my opinion, she is too young to go on an actual date. Especially, with a boy that I don't know and she has never met in person before.
**EDIT** I thought it was clear from my OP that I said no to her, but apparently not. I said no to her last night. I came here looking for reassurance that I made the right decision...
$$EDIT#2$$ Yes, I allow my dd on Instagram, FB, Kik, and Snapchat. No, she doesn not have Askfm, or Hot or Not.
Yes, we discuss internet safety.
No, I cannot monitor her every move.
No, I am not happy she is meeting strangers on the Internet. But I can only police so much.
No, I will not make her give up her social media.
Yes, I did ask for reassurance, support, backing and your thoughts on my decision.
Yes, I completely trust my dd. I have to. She's growing up. I will not helicopter parent her. But I still have to set some limits and boundaries.
Yes, we have talked about what dating means, what age I feel is appropriate and why I feel it is appropriate. I have also listened to her thoughts and feelings on the matter. I am proud of her. Yes, she asked if she could go, but after discussing it with her, we have come to an understanding. She has taken my decision very maturely even if she doesn't like it. By talking to my teen I have earned her trust and if I have her trust then I know I am on the right path.
The lot of you can bitch and complain all you want, but I am so proud of my dd and the decisions and choices she makes.
It's simple, if they are NOT old enough to drive then they are not old enough to date. Enable to seriously date, you need to be able to drive. The girl has no business hanging out with OLDER boys that can drive when they are so young....
He's 14. He can't drive...
Quoting thetrollcat:
It's simple, if they are NOT old enough to drive then they are not old enough to date. Enable to seriously date, you need to be able to drive. The girl has no business hanging out with OLDER boys that can drive when they are so young....
YES! It's way too young to go out unsupervised with a boy she's never met. She can wait until she's sixteen to date, and shouldn't ever be meeting people off the internet as a minor! Safety concerns, come on!
Well, I already said no to her and told her that was the end of the story. She said, "fine" and stomped away from me.
I guess I'm looking for reassurance that I made the right decision.
Quoting Danesmommy1: Hell no! How is this even a question?
How do you know it's a 14 year old kid?

I am a dedicated Amazon.com shopper, and, am almost always happy. That being said, please note the top of the page should you be an Amazon Prime member. I NEVER thought that Gift Cards from Amazon.com would be subject to additional shipping and handling… The charge to me for two cards? Over $13.
Received the card in a timely manner, but would not work. Kept getting a very uninformative "We're working on the problem, try again in a few minutes" message from Amazon. Two days later and two phone calls to barely understandable customer service I was told that it was active and applied to the account. But it wasn't. Guess it's time for call #3.
I purchased 4 gift cards that were supposed to have a personalized gift message. There was no gift message on any of the cards and the envelopes did not identify who the intended recepient was. First item that I ever purchased from Amazon that I was not satisfied with.

The odometer broke as the Golden Valley woman headed home from the White Bear Lake dealership. Or did it? Buyer Carol Canniff just wants it gone.
Carol Canniff of Golden Valley hasn't used her 2007 Dodge Caravan since she bought it from Barnett Chrysler Jeep KIA in March. After she realized the odometer wasn't working, she asked the dealership to take the car back. It fixed the odometer, but won't take back the vehicle.

For more than a month, a 2007 Dodge Caravan hasn't moved from its spot in front of Carol Canniff's house in Golden Valley. The odometer has advanced just 24 miles since Canniff bought the minivan -- the distance from the White Bear Lake dealership where she bought it March 20.
Canniff already has missed her first payment on the vehicle, and she expects the repo men to take it away eventually. The van doesn't have anything seriously wrong with it. Canniff just doesn't want it anymore since she noticed -- on the drive home from the dealership -- that the odometer wasn't moving.
Barnett Chrysler Jeep KIA promptly picked up the car, fixed the speedometer and odometer and drove it back to her house. By then, however, Canniff had done enough research to convince her that the royal blue Caravan might have more miles than the 37,037 claimed by the dealer.
The dealership maintains that the mileage is accurate. The general manager says the odometer just happened to break when Canniff drove it away.
"It's a crying shame that this occurred immediately after she left," said Jack Mayeron, general manager of Barnett Chrysler Jeep KIA. "Certainly we didn't think it rose to the level where a sale would be voided."
Canniff, who financed the $16,075 purchase, is learning the hard way that car buyers should do their homework before buying a used car. Not only should buyers find out about a vehicle's history, but it's also a good idea to ask about a dealer's return policy. Some dealers let people return cars within a few days if they experience buyer's remorse, but not Barnett Chrysler.
"I've never experienced this kind of sale," said Canniff, 58, a postal worker. "I just felt I didn't know what I was doing."
Canniff hadn't set foot in a car dealership for 10 years when she walked into Barnett Chrysler on March 20. The transmission had blown on her 1999 minivan, and she found an online ad for the Dodge Caravan. It was near closing time, so Canniff's test drive was a short loop in streets around the dealership. She said she wasn't paying attention to the speedometer or the odometer.
Yet as she drove her new car home, she noticed with dismay that the mileage didn't change. She called that night and left a message about the problem on the dealership's answering machine.
The next day, she got a Carfax vehicle history report that deepened her fears. From February to November of 2009, the Caravan logged just 3 miles. Also, the mileage was listed as 37,077 -- 40 miles more than the frozen odometer showed.
After Barnett employees retrieved the car for service, Canniff called the dealership and told employees to keep the car. Instead, they brought it back to her house the next day. A dealership employee walked into the Golden Valley post office, where Canniff was working behind the counter, and tossed her the keys.
"They should have just taken it," said Canniff's brother, David, who knows how to fix cars and watched Barnett's mechanic working on the Caravan. David Canniff thought the vehicle showed an unusual amount of wear and tear considering its relatively low mileage. "I told them that she's not going to stop bugging them about it," he said.
In the past month or so, Canniff has complained to Chrysler, the Better Business Bureau, the Minnesota State Patrol, the state's automobile dealer licensing unit and Attorney General Lori Swanson.
The dealership has responded to every inquiry. So far, Mayeron said, no one has found that Barnett did anything wrong. The Carfax report shouldn't raise any questions, he said, because Chrysler, which previously owned the car, often left cars on the lot for extended periods. The 40-mile discrepancy on the odometer could have been a clerical error, he said. Barnett Chrysler has an A+ rating with the BBB, and Mayeron said that Canniff got the car she paid for.
"This is a person that believes we ought to take the car back," Mayeron said. "We believe we do not have an obligation to do so. That's really where we part company."
Christopher Basso, a spokesman for Carfax, said buyers should research a car's history and bring along a qualified mechanic before signing the papers.
"Any time you see anything in a report that raises a red flag, you need to either dig deeper and get additional information, or you need to walk away," Basso said.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley was out of the lineup Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic because of left hip injury.
Beasley was still dealing with soreness before the game. The Minnesota forward took a hard fall on his side Tuesday night against Miami. He got up and took a few steps, writhing in pain, before going down again near the Minnesota bench and needing assistance to reach the locker room.
Beasley was quickly diagnosed with a bruise. The team says X-rays were negative.
Beasley, in a suit and tie on the bench, isn't expected to miss any additional time.

Ever been out for dinner with a friend and watched in wonder as she ordered the tuna salad with no dressing then turned away the dessert trolley to save on calories? Your buddy is a 'restrained eater'. But does it actually make her thin and happy?
Back in the 1970s most psychologists would have resoundingly said 'No.' Received wisdom was that if you banned yourself from eating Twinkies you'd only feel deprived and binge on Oreos later, eventually making you fat and miserable.
Subsequently they started to realize that often people only started limiting their diets when they were already overeating, overweight or dissatisfied with their bodies. The mere act of restraining wasn't enough to provoke disinhibited eating and excessive weight gain all by itself.
Now most eating researchers have moderated their opinions. They think that restraint has the potential to be counter-productive - but only if it's done in a rigid, inflexible fashion.

The Yankees/Orioles matchup this weekend will be big
The Yankees had better bring it full throttle this weekend. With a day off today, they'll need to be thinking long and hard about the two teams edging up from behind; one of which they'll be hosting in the Bronx starting Friday - the Baltimore Orioles. Optimists be damned, the Bombers are in very dangerous territory as ...

Is Derek Jeter a MVP candidate?
If I were told to vote right this minute for the AL MVP, my pick would be Derek Jeter. No other player has done more to keep his team afloat consistently throughout the entire season. The idea of the MVP award has become skewed as your average fan (influenced by many media outlets) deems it the ...

Thoughts on Ivan Nova

2007 Competitive Media Usage Overview
For immediate release: January 3, 2007
2006 was a 'tipping point' of sorts for several media competing for listeners' time and use.
Internet radio use continued to rise and terrestrial radio streams began to record significant unique user counts as the industry as a whole spent the better part of the year concentrating on marketing their over the air streams or developing variations of their on-air product for internet streaming.
Satellite radio did not quite hit its year-long goal of subscribers, but the sector performed admirably and, short of MP3 players, satellite radio is the only other technology growing at such levels. (+52% year-over-year).
The iPod and MP3 players continued to roll as a reported 90 million are now in the hands of Americans. The number of households with more than one MP3 player escalated during 2006 as users either replace older models or are purchasing units to coincide with variations in lifestyle.
During the month of December 2006, Bridge Ratings interviewed 3500 persons 12+ on a national basis to determine use among the following audio media competing for time: Terrestrial radio, Satellite Radio, Internet Radio, MP3 Players and HD Radio.
Market Penetration
Among Americans using these technologies, terrestrial radio continues to dominate overall market penetration for the number of people listening for five minutes or more in a typical week despite the number of options available. 93.5% of Americans still listen in an average week, while MP3 players (including iPods) reached 30% of the population.
57 million Americans listen to some form of Internet Radio in a typical week according to our interviews. Satellite radio's nearly 14 million subscribers accounts for nearly 5% of the U.S. population and HD radio ended 2006 with about a million listeners.
Time Spent Listening
While market penetration for all but terrestrial radio falls under 40% of the U.S. population, the number of hours users of each medium spend listening represents a more interesting story.
Members of the satellite radio nation though representing only 4.6% of the population spend the most time with this technology in a typical week (21+ hours). Overall, our sample of 12+ persons spends more time with Internet radio than they do listening to their MP3 players, but this statistic reverses itself when looking at the 12-24 year old age group which spends nearly 21 hours a week listening to their MP3 players - more than any other medium on this list.
And though HD radio represents a very small portion of the market, those that do own these radios spend considerable time listening during most weeks (12.5 hours). What's preventing them from listening more? "Poor broadcast content" is the number one most mentioned reason, referring to the lack of programming options that appeal to these users of HD radio. Traditional radio devoted significant dollars to marketing and building their HD offerings during 2006, but clearly the potential audience does not find most of the programming options to be worthy of significant listening.
Intent to Listen
Perhaps the most eye-opening part of this new study is in the area of "intent to listen". We asked our sample of 3500 persons 12+ if they expect to be listening to these media More, The Same or Less in one year.
Owners of HD radio scored with the largest increase in listening (47% said "more") while traditional radio delivered the fewest (15% who said they expect to be listening more in one year). Satellite radio listeners and those spending time listening on the Internet recorded the second highest instances (39% and 38% respectively) of increased time spent. And though MP3 players fall in fourth position among these five media for increased time spent listening, the medium jumps to first among listeners ages 12-24 years of age with 41% indicating they expect to listen more to their MP3 players. 52% of the young group expects to be listening less to terrestrial radio.

The most overall loved set of planners are visual architects. They are business visionaries who have free quality united by method for a feeling of enterprise.

Either words and pictures play important roles in the overall effectiveness of your catalog, together with the relationship they already have with each other is equally crucial. It should be working for unison, as well as never opposition. In this post I'd choose to go through a few of the checks and even adjustments it is possible to make to create the perfect match between words and pictures in your color catalog printing.
However, having a particular color associated with your business doesn't always guarantee you your many coveted niche in your chosen industry. In fact, using full color to attract care has become redundant in a great many marketing campaigns.
Ideally, colors are designed for both aesthetic and even functional purposes in your catalog printing project. Colors tend to be the center of each catalog printing style so as to generate for the business a marketing material that may surely hit its visitors where it matters – their sense of need and desire for a better life.
Photographs are vital for your customer to get a good idea of what your products look like. But whilst it's true that a picture can paint a thousand words, there are some that it can't convey, and this is why well-written, concise and accurate copy is essential to back up the visuals in your catalog. More about the south beach smoke review here, take a read too.
It's well accepted that customers tend to make purchases based on the benefits of a product rather than its features. In other words, they want to know exactly what the product can do for them, or how it will make their life easier.
As a business owner and graphic designer, you have to realize that the right color elements can make your products and services look attractive and valuable. In fact, the right color shade can do a lot of wonders in making your catalog printing project look stylish and professional at the same time.
Sometimes, using too many colors can reduce the attraction of a catalog printing project for most target clients. Not everybody can be attracted to brilliant and vibrant shades. In fact, some may even place your catalog printing design in the side of garish and tasteless.
Studies have shown that the human eye is conditioned to recognize colors that can be appreciated or that do not belong. If the right color in your catalog printing project can help you present an elegant and useful image, a wrong one would more than likely make your marketing medium unappealing, which transfers to your business. Hence, a catalog printing project that features dark wood furniture would look better when subdued colors are applied.Tags: design grafico

I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling with Villains (Real and Imagined) (Hardcover)
Chuck Klosterman has walked into the darkness. As a boy, he related to the cultural figures who represented goodness—but as an adult, he found himself unconsciously aligning with their enemies. This was not because he necessarily liked what they were doing; it was because they were doing it on purpose (and they were doing it better). They wanted to be evil. And what, exactly, was that supposed to mean? When we classify someone as a bad person, what are we really saying (and why are we so obsessed with saying it)? How does the culture of deliberate malevolence operate?
In I Wear the Black Hat, Klosterman questions the modern understanding of villainy. What was so Machiavellian about Machiavelli? Why don't we see Bernhard Goetz the same way we see Batman? Who is more worthy of our vitriol—Bill Clinton or Don Henley? What was O. J. Simpson's second-worst decision? And why is Klosterman still haunted by some kid he knew for one week in 1985?
Masterfully blending cultural analysis with self-interrogation and imaginative hypotheticals, I Wear the Black Hat delivers perceptive observations on the complexity of the antihero (seemingly the only kind of hero America still creates). I Wear the Black Hat is a rare example of serious criticism that's instantly accessible and really, really funny. Klosterman continues to be the only writer doing whatever it is he's doing.
About the Author
Chuck Klosterman is the New York Times bestselling author of seven previous books, including Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs; Eating the Dinosaur; Killing Yourself to Live; and The Visible Man. His debut book, Fargo Rock City, was the winner of the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award. He has written for GQ, Esquire, Spin, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Believer, and The Onion A.V. Club. He currently serves as "The Ethicist" for the New York Times Magazine and writes about sports and popular culture for ESPN.
Praise for I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling with Villains (Real and Imagined)…
"Masterfully blending cultural analysis with self-interrogation and imaginative hypotheticals, I Wear the Black Hat delivers perceptive observations on the complexity of the antihero (seemingly the only kind of hero America still creates). I Wear the Black Hat is a rare example of serious criticism that'e(TM)s instantly accessible and really, really funny."
"Klosterman has a knack for holding up a magical high-def mirror to American pop culture that makes all of our vanities and delusions look painfully obvious. Spend enough time reading I Wear the Black Hat, and you might even start to recognize, in its pages, your own silly assumptions, your snap judgments, your stubborn loyalties and your badly rationalized prejudices'e¶.By underscoring the contradictory, often knee-jerk ways we encounter the heroes and villains of our culture, Klosterman illustrates the passionate but incomplete computations that have come to define American culture 'e" and maybe even American morality."
"Klosterman's prose exhibits the same firecrack fizz and pop, and his endearing/unnerving polemical habits remain in place."
"Highly entertaining."
"A gleeful and often funny explanation of villainy, both fictional and real."
"Klosterman considers how inconsistent, unpredictable and surprisingly elastic the concept of villainy has been in American culture since the 1970s....the entertainment value of his thought processes and the quality of his prose are high."
"Intellectually vigorous and entertaining."
'eoeThat most of his subjects are from the pop-culture realm, whether Andrew Dice Clay or Chevy Chase or the Eagles, does not diminish the underlying sophistication of Klosterman'e(TM)s guiding questions'e¶. A fine return to form for Klosterman, blending Big Ideas with heavy metal, The Wire, Batman and much more.'e
'eoeVery much a product of his generation and as plugged into the popular culture as Mencken was antagonistic to it, Klosterman is in that same direct line of cultural critics as Bierce, Mencken, and more recently, P. J. O'e(TM)Rourke, and his posture is similarly arch and iconoclastic'e¶[I Wear the Black Hat] will amuse and/or outrage but, either way, it should enlarge his audience.'e Ý
"Astute and funny."
"Highly entertaining...a beach classic."
'eoeKlosterman offers up great facts, interesting cultural insights, and thought-provoking moral calculations in this look at our love affair with the anti-hero.'e

Étonnantes, amusantes… parfois répugnantes. Toutes les merveilles du monde animal !
A blog on fish biodiversity. Written by Ben Young Landis.
Between a rock and a hard blog is the brainchild of Elspeth Robertson and Charly Stamper, wannabe members of the science twitterati and PhD students in the School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, UK. After two years of confining their idle PhD and science-related chat to the common room, they decided to unleash their musings to the world. Now joined by several other students in the department, the blog focuses on their PhD experiences during our first footholds in academia. They also love to ramble on about general Earth Science topics that pique our interest.
Exploring new cultures in science
Inspiring quotes, pretty pictures, and recent research findings written in plain English. About science. Mostly biology.
Big In Science: Innovation in science, health & medicine, and technology
A student's perspective on the emerging field of synthetic biology, recent research, and its implications.

The NCSU Biochemistry blog is a team effort by the faculty and students of the biochemistry department to describe past and current research, science topics of general interest, our opinions of current events in science, and situations that we find humorous at a public university.
I lecture Biochemistry at a small University in Oporto. Although originally raised as an experimental Biochemist, I have since changed my research into theoretical and computational chemistry and biochemistry. In this blog, I will mostly commment on recent (or not so recent...) research papers that happen to have called my attention. I hope someone will find it interesting/useful :-)
Biochemistry research highlights, commentary on my fields of interest and occasional ventures into philosophy of science
Have you ever wondered just what exactly is in that fancy protein nutrition bar? Would you like to know more about DNA than the actors on CSI who pretend to solve crimes with it ?

Graduate Students on Biodiversity Science
This blog is written by staff writers who come from a consortium 14 of major natural history museum libraries, botanical libraries, and research institutions around the world. These institutions have joined forces to form the Biodiversity Heritage Library, a digital library providing open free access to digitized texts from the taxonomic corpus. Participating libraries include Harvard's University's Ernst Mayr Library, Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and the California Academy of Sciences, just to name a few. They have over two million volumes of biodiversity literature, collected over 200 years to support the work of scientists, researchers, and students in their home institutions and throughout the world.
The world is full of interesting and extreme creatures, most of which go unnoticed on a daily basis. The majority of these creatures are insects, and at Biodiversity in Focus their stories are told through photography and tales out of the scientific literature. Fly (Diptera) diversity and natural history meets social media and science communication, bringing these amazing insects into the light.
