Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan agreed to a settlement with a disc jockey over a sex tape involving Hogan and the DJ's wife.
A statement by Hogan's publicist on Monday morning said the terms of the settlement were confidential.
In a lawsuit filed Oct. 15, Hogan said he had consensual sex with his best friend's wife, Heather Clem, six years ago in the Clems' home, but he didn't know he was being videotaped.
On Monday, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem apologized to Hogan, whose real name is Bollea. Clem also said that he's convinced Hogan was unaware he was being filmed.
A lawsuit is still pending against the gossip website Gawker, which put excerpts of the video on its site.

Its pretty much common-knowledge by now, that the PS4 will not be Jaguar based. (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldu...n-1804937.html)Sony PlayStation will both be powered by an AMD Jaguar APU.
Phoronix: GCC 4.8 Has Support For AMD Steamroller, Jaguar
Aside from improvements to Link-Time Optimizations, run-time library improvements, and a new optimization level, the coming release of GCC 4.8 also features support for yet-to-be-out AMD hardware. AMD's Steamroller "Bulldozer 3" processor is already supported with compiler optimizations and so is AMD Jaguar, their new low-power APU that's rumoured to be in the next-generation consoles...
Its pretty much common-knowledge by now, that the PS4 will not be Jaguar based. (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldu...n-1804937.html)Sony PlayStation will both be powered by an AMD Jaguar APU.
Who cares ?!? Not me for sure !!!
What i want is an 25W AMD Kabini 4 core APU in a mini-ITX Mobo !!!
That will make a perfect HTPC with very interesting light/maybe_medium gaming capacities rig
I'd like to see 17W quad trinity vs 17W quad jaguar. With perf/$ graphs too if possible.
I've been pretty happy with the real-world multi-threaded performance of the a10-5800K I picked up. The new AMD stuff, while not as fast as some Intel cpus, is a lot better than some Windows benchmarks make them out to be. Having these processor specific compilation works wonders for certain programs.
IMHO, A Jaguar-based APU will beat the crap out of Trinity in 17W range...from a theoretical point of view of course.
As for the A10-5800K is indeed a very nice piece of hardware....
My experiments with it and a ASROCK mini-ITX MoBo were interesting....
G.SKILL ARES 8GB 2133 MHz DDR3 DIMMs (2 x 4GB) was initially set up by BIOS to 1600MHz or 1833 MHz (don't recall) when it was in Auto and i wasn't enjoying performance (at all) in some AAA games...i changed from Auto to 2133MHz and BIOS accepted it....performance increased in AAA games but in very fast 120-180 degrees turns in FPS there was clearly still some stuttering or frame drop if you will....
Then i bumped GPU from 800 MHz (Auto setting in BIOS was giving that value) to 950MHz...and suddenly, i was in Gaming Nirvana !!!
No stuttering or noticeable frame drop at all in any circunstance !!!
Gaming Performance was clearly superior to my 9600GT 1GB DDR3 + Intel Dual Core at 2.7GHz !!!
Interesting side effect...as i bumped GPU to 950MHz, RAM gone down from 2133 to 1600MHz....so it was quite surprise that gaming performance boost
However, the A10-5800K have two flaws...a INCREDIBLY LOOOOOOOOUD OEM APU fan and a somehow still too high appetite for energy....
So, i also build up a rig with a mini-ITX MoBo with a AMD E-350 and was pleasantly surprised with a very very quiet and very low power drain machine that still plays some very nice games....so, i can't wait for AMD Quad Core Kabini 25W mini-ITX MoBos

Lost Planet 3 Summary
Lost Planet 3 Review
Lost Planet 3 will make you ask important questions, like "is this the best song to rock an ice planet?"
Latest news
Capcom "had its missteps, it's learning, it's definitely trying"
Dead Rising 3 producer Mike Jones from Capcom Vancouver has said everybody at the company is "a huge Capcom fan." They don't have any 'yeah, whatever' employees as "most people f**king love Capcom."
He admits Capcom's size makes it difficult to get "all those pieces moving in the right direction" speedily, and acknowledges mistakes but there's "a lot of big stuff" coming.
Report: Capcom's European workforce "faces redundancy" of "more than half"
Corporate restructuring on a 'major scale' within Capcom's European division means that "more than half" of the workforce will find their positions made redundant. This follows a 'bad fiscal year' for the company.
Capcom confirmed the EU business is now "currently evaluating its structure" following in the footsteps of their US operations. Missed targets have hit hard.
Lost Planet 3 soundtrack to be released on 27th August
Mass Effect composer Jack Wall has announced that the soundtrack to Lost Planet 3 will be available for download from his Lost In Sound Records label on the 27th August.
Lost Planet 3 goes first-person in mechs to 'immerse in scale'
Producer Andrew Szymanski of Lost Planet 3 explains the reason they've pushed the player into a first-person perspective during those mech rides this time around. It's to capture that 'sense of scale' in the huge rigs.
Previously the camera would just pan out so you'd occupy the same space on the screen as you would on foot, but the team felt it robbed a certain level of immersion.
Lost Planet 3 landed at Spark because 'good' developers prefer own IPs
Spark Unlimited is in collaboration with Capcom with Lost Planet 3, and that only happened because the "best-known developers" aren't all that interested in pursuing someone else's vision over their own.
Producer Andrew Szymanski said he was tasked with finding a studio with "the skill and the drive" to take on Lost Planet, whilst being open to collaboration with IP creators at Capcom Osaka.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many people work for the Fire Department?
A. The Fire Department has 268 employees.
Q. What distance is the fire hydrant closest to my house?
A. In most parts of Alexandria, houses are within 500 feet of a hydrant.
Q. Why do I see fire fighters running at the local park or taking the fire truck to the gym?
A. Firefighting is a physically challenging profession that requires a high level of physical and mental readiness. The nature of the occupation demands a great deal of physical strength and stamina. To insure the safety of our operational personnel and the well-being of Alexandria residents and visitors we serve, our crews are required to perform physical fitness activity while on duty.
Q. Why do your fire trucks use lights and sirens, even in the middle of the night when there is no traffic?
A. The purpose of emergency warning equipment is to let drivers and pedestrians know that an emergency vehicle is on the way to an emergency. By state law (§ 46.2-920), we do have certain privileges extended to us. Those being, to proceed through controlled intersections without stopping, travel against the designated flow of traffic. All of these privileges have rules that the legislation and department policy put on the drivers of these emergency vehicles. The main rule is that we can not do these things unless there are lights flashing and sirens going. Even in the middle of the night.
Q. Why do I see fire trucks from Arlington and Fairfax in Alexandria?
A. Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax have an Interjurisdictional Response Agreement. This agreement provides for the closest engines and trucks to respond to an incident regardless of jurisdictional boundaries. For instance, in the 4600 block of King Street, which is in Alexandria, engines would respond from all three departments. This improves coverage in the City and keeps Alexandria from having to build additional fire stations in areas near these two jurisdictions.
Q. I saw a City of Alexandria fire truck at a local grocery store , and some of the firefighters were inside shopping for food. Why do firefighters use fire trucks for non-emergency purposes while they are on duty?
A. To ensure the most effective service at the time of an emergency, our crews must remain in their designated response territory with their fire trucks during their entire shift. Our crews work 24-hour shifts with no scheduled breaks, and meals are not provided by the City. Personnel on each shift must purchase their own food and prepare their own meals, so they usually make a daily trip to the grocery store within their territories to buy whatever they need to prepare their meals for the entire shift.Fire and Medic crews do not have to be sitting in the fire station to be dispatched to a call. Since all City units maintain constant radio contact with Fire Communications and the entire crew must always be together with their truck, they are always ready to respond to any emergency, regardless of their current location or non-emergency assignment. Very often, our firefighters and paramedics spend long periods of their day running calls, without returning to the station or stopping to eat, and they frequently have to return to the grocery store several times to finish purchasing food that they might not get a chance to cook during the shift
Q. Why does a fire engine come when I only requested an ambulance?
A. A fire truck will sometimes arrive at an incident first because it is the closest emergency unit to the scene and we are committed to getting help to your location as fast as possible. The City has eight fire stations spaced strategically around the City. All firefighters are trained to provide basic emergency medical treatment. Since there are only five medic units in the City, firefighters respond to all calls involving life-threatening symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, chest pains, and severe bleeding. They initiate treatment to stabilize patients and provide information to the paramedics en route to the call so they will be aware of any additional advanced life support equipment that will be needed on the scene.
Q. What is the charge for being transported to the hospital by medic unit?
A. When a patient is transported to a hospital/medical facility, the fee will be one of the following:
In addition,
Q. Why do you send so many fire vehicles to a fire, especially a small fire?
A. There are a number of specialized roles that firefighters undertake on a fire call, and it is necessary to have enough firefighters on the scene of an incident. Firefighting is a very labor intensive activity. If you get behind because there are not enough firefighters on the call, it is more difficult to extinguish a fire quickly.
Q. Do you have bingo at my fire station?
A. No.
Q. How do I arrange to tour a fire station?
A. Event Request . We suggest contacting us 28 days prior to desired tour date. We will put you in contact with the closest fire station for your tour.
Q. Do fire stations host birthday parties?
A. Unfortunately, we do not have the proper facilities to have birthday parties at any Alexandria Fire Department fire station. While we are not able to accommodate birthday parties at the fire stations , we welcome groups to schedule a fire station tour. (See station tour information.)
Q. How can I get a copy of a fire incident or medical incident report?
A. You can arrange to receive an incident report by calling the Computer Specialist at 703-746-5200. There is a fee of $3.00 for each report. Reports for medical incidents require the authorization of the individual patient or guardian and proof of relationship.
Q. How can I get a smoke detector from the Fire Department? Will you change the batteries?
A. The Alexandria Fire Department purchases a limited number of smoke alarms for distribution to City of Alexandria residents who may otherwise not be able to afford them. If you can afford a smoke alarm but have a question or concern regarding installation of your own smoke alarm, please contact our Community Services Unit at 703-746-5260.
Q. Where can I go to have my child safety seat inspected or installed?
A. The Alexandria Sheriff's Office provides child safety seat inspections for City residents. This free service is available by appointment only. Those in need of services should call 703.746.4114 during regular business hours. A deputy trained in child safety seat inspection and installation will follow-up to schedule an appointment. You can also visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Child Safety Seat Inspection Station Locator website to find a location near you. The Alexandria Fire Department does not have a child safety seat installation and inspection program.
Q. I see an above ground fuel tank at one of your fire stations. Is this safe?
A. The above-ground fuel storage tank is compliant with all applicable codes/regulations in force at the time it was installed. Where possible, above-ground fuel storage is preferred over below-ground storage to limit the potential for environmental problems stemming from leaking underground storage tanks.

Hola! Welcome to Lima and the start of an awesome South American adventure. On arrival into the city, check-in with your Trip Manager, then spend the day exploring the city with your fellow travellers on our included city tour.
Made up of 43 different districts, almost all with their own flare and vibe, Lima is a bustling metropolis. The opulence of the Spanish colonial era is visible everywhere in the city, from the detailed wood-work of the historic centre's balconies, doors and architecture to the lavishly decorated churches. We'll explore the Basillica Cathedral for a glimpse of the city's former glory or, for something different you could head to the Iglesia de San Francisco (Church of San Francisco) and take a look at its famous catacombs. As the city's first cemetery, these underground tunnels (catacombs) contain the bones of over 70,000 people, many of which are set in cool geometric patterns.
Then we make tracks to the Barranco district– its bohemian energy will make you feel right at home. Wander past the beautiful colonial mansions of the neighborhood, many of them recently restored. Take a walk on the beachside boardwalk, cross the Lima's Bridge of Sighs or just sit in one of the cafés that overlooks the ocean and spend the afternoon relaxing with a Pisco Sour, Peru's national drink.
Later we'll check out the city's more modern aspects. If shopping, gourmet restaurants, great cafes and bars is what you're after, this is the perfect spot.
Tonight we head back to the hotel for a rest then we are off to our included dinner and show.
Looking to check out Lima by night? There are loads of places to head to. From chilled-out lounges, to bars with live music, or dance clubs that run late into the night, just let your Tour Manager know what you feel like and they'll give you some tips on where to head.
Hotel Dinner
- See the Historic Centre, Barranco & Miraflores
This morning it's an early start as we fly to Peru's second largest city, the "White City" of Arequipa, or La Ciudad Blanca. Lying in the shadow of three volcanoes, including the perfectly-symmetrical El Misti, the city was built using white volcanic rock called Sillar which gives the city its name.
Upon arrival, get your bearings on an orientation tour of the city. After we arrive at the hotel, there's time to freshen up before free time for lunch. With many great restaurants and cafés, there are loads of places to indulge in some great local food. Arequipa is one of Peru's main dairy regions and chocolate is a must-have whilst you're here. The La Iberica factory and shop produces and sells some of the country's finest chocolate, so keep your eyes peeled.
This afternoon, we'll delve into the city's history for an-in depth look into its past with a walking tour. First up is the stunning Santa Catalina Monastery. A city within the city - the nuns, often wealthy young Peruvians, once lived in silence and were not allowed to leave the premises. Today, it is still a working monastery, with most of the premises open to the public.
From here we walk through our first UNESCO World Heritage site on the trip and one of the country's most beautiful plazas – the Plaza de Armas. The hub of urban city life here, it's filled with palm trees and flanked by a 17th century Cathedral.
Tonight you'll really get to know your tour buddies over dinner at one of the city's great restaurants. You'll have the choice of some of Peru's famous cuisine like Recoto Relleno (stuffed hot peppers) or Chupe de Camerones (crayfish chowder). Later, take it up a notch - you can visit the bars on the Plaza de Armas and take in the beauty of the illuminated square and cathedral while savoring a Pisco Sour.
Hotel Breakfast
- City tour of Arequipa visiting the Santa Catalina Convent
This morning, we travel to one of the world's deepest canyons – Colca Canyon. We'll drive through through Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve where the elusive Vicuña, the smallest of the South American camelid family roams wild.
We'll stop for a break at "the crossroads" where the routes to Colca Canyon and Puno separate. We'll enjoy a steaming cup of coca tea at a local shop and awesome views of the windswept landscapes of the sandstone cliffs found here. We'll continue on to the highest point of our entire journey which at 4910 metres/16,108ft above sea level is the same height as Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak. Stop for some pics at the top, before our descent into Chivay, one of the largest towns in the Colca Valley and capital of the Caylloma province in the Arequipa region. We'll take a quick look around town before making our way to Chivay's hot springs for some chill time. Fed from natural springs, you can take a dip while taking in the dramatic landscape views from the pool – it's the perfect way to relax. Once everyone's chilled out, we'll head to our Contiki Special Stay, a cute rustic lodge where we'll be treated to a delicious traditional dinner. Later on, spend your evening hanging with the group. Cards and board games or drinks and conversation by the hotel's enormous fireplace are a must.
Contiki Special Stopover Lunch,Breakfast,Dinner
- See wild Vicuña
- See El Misti, Chachani & Pichu Pichu volcanoes
- Visit the Salinas & Aguada Blanca National Reserve
- Indulge in a relaxing hot spring dip in Chivay
- Special stay in our Colca Canyon Lodge
We'll set out early this morning and head to Cruz del Condor, a platform 3800m above sea level for a chance to spot the King of the Andes, the Andean Condor. With a wingspan of up to 3 metres/10 feet, this regal bird uses the warm air currents to float effortlessly through the canyon searching for food. It's a pretty incredible sight, so keep your camera ready in case they buzz close overhead. We'll return to Chivay for lunch via the small, picturesque villages that dot the road along the way. We'll also stop for a visit the beautiful colonial church of Yanque which helps to illustrate the history of the area. In the afternoon, we travel through Peru's altiplano (high plain) to Puno on the edge of Lake Titicaca.
Located on the shores of Lake Titicaca, Puno is the gateway to the surrounding islands and unique cultures. On arrival, we'll check-in to our hotel where you can freshen up or chill out before heading out to find a local spot for dinner. Enjoy a night of drinking and dancing at one of the bars on the main pedestrian street but be careful, you might have to catch your breath as dancing at over 3657metres/12 000 ft above sea level is a challenge!
Hotel Breakfast

- Visit Cruz del Condor
- Visit Yanque
This morning, it's time to check out the area from a different angle! First up, we'll make our way to the town's port by a classic means of transport, the triciclo or three-wheeled bike taxi. We'll then jump on board our boat for a two and a half hour trip across Lake Titicaca to Taquile Island. The boat trip is the perfect way to chill as you learn about the history, culture and ecology of the lake and its communities while taking in the views of the distant Cordillera Blanca (the White Mountain range) located on the Bolivian side of the lake. Although there are many travellers that come to this area every year, Taquile still remains one of the most culturally intact communities in Peru. From the quality of their famous weaving and the use of their woollen hats, to the terracing and traditional means of government, the people of Taquile Island continue to live in a manner not far off from that of their ancestors, the Incas. On arrival at the island, there's the opportunity to visit some weaving groups and to savor a tasty local meal before jumping back on the boat for our cruise to our next stop – the famous floating Uros Islands.
Uros Islands are fascinating to visit and you'll love experiencing the entrepreneurial spirit of the locals here. You'll get a glimpse at the local lifestyle as you visit small fish farms, a natural history museum, a local's home and check out the variety of wares for sale by the women of the community, including local textiles and mini totora reed boats.
You can opt to take a ride on one of the larger reed boats which were formally the only means of transportation that the islanders had. Later, we'll return to Puno for dinner and a couple of drinks or turning in for an early night.
Hotel Breakfast,Dinner
- Ride on a triciclo!
- Island boat trip on Lake Titicaca
- Visit Taquile & Uros island communities
Our first stop outside of Puno is the village of Pukara, named after a pre-Inca civilization. We'll visit a small museum where you'll see the Pukara archeological site (500bc-200ad). The village is locally renowned for artistic ceramic bulls which are symbols of protection and prosperity and if you take a look above, you'll see them on the roofs of houses throughout the highlands. Take one home for yourself when we visit a local ceramics shop.
Next up is La Raya, the highest point of our journey, marking the border between the regions of Puno and Cusco. Surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Andes we'll stop to stretch our legs and take in the stunning beauty of the Peruvian altiplano (the widest point of the Andes). We will continue on to town of Sicuani for a lunch stop before reaching Raqchi.
Raqchi was an important ceremonial site for the Inca's and is famous for being the home to the only remaining two-storey Inca walls. It also possesses one of the largest single structures of the ancient Incan empire, the Temple of Wiracocha. You will have the opportunity for an up-close visit to the site before completing the final stretch of today's journey to the hub of ancient Incan culture, Cusco.
Tonight the evening is free to check out the sights, smells and sounds of Cusco. There are loads of places in town to try out some local cuisine, or maybe try some delicious street food and head out for a taste of how to party, Cusco-style.

Cusco, the heart of the Inca Empire, is now the modern-day starting point for visits to Peru's most famous site, Machu Picchu. With huge numbers of travellers flocking to the site every year, it's led to the development of loads of awesome attractions, so there's plenty of cool ways to spend your time.
First up we'll help you get your bearings on a walking tour of the city including a visit to the neighborhood of San Blas, and a stop on Calle Hatunrumiyoc, not far from Plaza de Armas. It is a narrow pedestrian street, famous for its Inca walls where huge stones are precisely carved to fit together without mud or concrete. Hatunrumiyoc is a great place to have a closer look at the engineering skills of the Incas. The 12 sided stone, and the wall it is found on, is a perfect example of the stonework that was reserved for the 'elite' of Incan society who lived in houses of perfect stonework, cut and shaped with not a gap to be seen. The walls were so well built that the Spanish used them for the foundations of their buildings after the conquest.
From here we'll head to the Koricancha or Santa Domingo Church. Originally an Inca temple devoted to the worship of the sun god, in its glory days it was covered in gold leaf with a field filled with gold statues surrounding it. The site was later converted into a Dominican church during the Spanish conquest. We'll take a guided tour so you can really get into the history as we learn about the differences in architecture and cultural beliefs.
Our next stop is Cusco Cathedral. Built over a period of more than 100 years, the cathedral is a true testament to the place of the church in both the heart of the Spanish conquistadors and their desire to convert the religious beliefs of the locals to coincide with their own. It is filled with beautiful examples of the 'Cusco School' style of paintings, gold and religious icons.
Take a break for lunch before visiting the famous San Pedro market. As you cruise from aisle to aisle you will be amazed by the variety of foods on offer here. From delicious jungle fruits, whole animals to 'cacao buds' (one of the new 'it' super foods) there is little that you can't find. A must-do is trying a tasty and refreshing freshly squeezed juice.
If getting an adrenalin fix or getting back to nature is what you're looking for, then Cusco is perfect for getting amongst it. With a free afternoon, there are tons of options - from biking, rafting and horseback riding and best of all, your Trip Manager can arrange these for you.
Or, for those wanting to explore town, simply take a stroll through the city's cobble-stone streets for a load of examples of Inca constructions and the intricately-carved, wooden colonial doors and balconies.
For the shopaholics in the group, this is the perfect spot to pick up some gifts for friends and family (or for yourself), there are loads of artists selling items like woolen and alpaca goods, gorgeous jewellery to artwork. These can be purchased from low-priced market stalls to expensive boutiques that line the streets near the main square, so there's something to suit all tastes and budgets.
For the foodies on the trip, you are in for a treat in Cusco. Peru's cuisine is exquisite and can be tried in lots of places dotted throughout the town. If you're feeling like a taste of home, there's also a number of cosmopolitan restaurants here too, it's perfect for finding something for everyone.
Tonight we'll check out the nightlife that is sure to keep you hopping into the wee hours of the night.
Hotel Breakfast,Dinner
- City walking tour
- Visit San Blas, La Catedral & Koricancha
Say farewell to Cusco this morning as we make our way to the Sacred Valley of the ancient Incas.
The Sacred Valley was the heart of the Inca's agricultural setting and an important ceremonial region, with the sacred sites of Cuzco at one end and Machu Picchu at the other and countless ceremonial sites in between. Our first stop is to one of these sites, Pisac. On our guided tour we will see two of the most important aspects of the Inca culture – terracing – a farming technique created by the Inca's and their religion. We'll take a walk before descending in the village below for a quick visit to the market. This will be great practice for those who have chosen the one-day hike to Machu Picchu tomorrow. Don't miss the town's huge wood-oven bakery!
After a stop for lunch in Urubamba we'll make our way to one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns of South America – Ollantaytambo.
On our way, we can see the 'salineras' or salt mines of the area from a distance. For hundreds of years these pools, constructed by the Inca's, have provided salt to the surrounding communities.
We'll also make a quick stop to try the local brew "Chicha de Jora" (traditional beverage made from fermented maize) and play a traditional Peruvia game of "Sapo" (Frog) if you're up for it.
We soon arrive to the town and archaeological site of the same name, Ollantaytambo, the last fully-functioning Inca town. We'll wander around the site or visit the still inhabited Inca buildings before checking into the hotel.
Hotel Breakfast
- Entry into the Sacred Valley & a guided tour of the ancient ruins of Pisac & Ollantaytambo

For those that have chosen the Inca Trail trek, well wake up this morning and take the train to KM104 to start your trek.

After lunch begin the journey to our highlight, Machu Picchu. We'll walk along the original Inca stonework path, past an altar to the Sun Gate where you'll catch your first look at this awesome site. Another 45 minutes will take us to the Guardian's House, where there's the opportunity to take photos of the site at its best. After a wander around the site and some stunning photos to show off back home, we'll take a bus back into town to meet up with the rest of the group where you can tell your stories from your day of hiking.
If you haven't chosen our Inca Trail Trek today, then the morning is free to explore Sacred Valley. If you're up for it, rafting and horse-riding await you today. Or if relaxing is more your thing, visit the town's spectacular square and have a wander through the local markets.
This afternoon, we'll catch a train through the lush and verdant mountains to Aguas Calientes the town at the base of the ruins. Tonight, soak up the atmosphere, wander through the market stalls, or visit the hot springs which gave the town its former name of Aguas Calientes. Later, we'll meet up with those who chose to do the one-day hike into Machu Picchu and listen to the stories of their day! The chilled atmosphere and amazing setting makes for a great place to enjoy a couple of drinks on the patio with the group.

You'll learn all about the site as we take a tour through the most important parts of the site such as the Temple of Three Windows, the ceremonial baths and the altar. Widely believed to be the country retreat for wealthy Incas, this site is as fascinating as it is stunning. After the tour, there's time to explore more of the site in your own time. For those finishing early and looking for a little exercise you can walk down to the simple but interesting Machu Picchu museum at the base of the mountain. Or, for those really feeling up for it, you could continue on to the waterfall 40 minutes outside of town or simply return to "main street" and have a drink before we return to Cusco via train then coach.
Being full of knowledge about Cusco past and present, now might be time to try one of the delicacies of the Peruvian highlands, 'cuy' or crispy fried guinea pig. It's a must-try in Peru. If you are not feeling quite so adventurous, a traditional dish of trout or some of Peru's fusion cuisine that mixes traditional ingredients such as quinoa with non-traditional flavors might be a better option.

That's a nice jersey, you wear it to all the games?
All right folks, wipe those affiliations off your sleeves and let's talk a little college football.
It's pretty amazing what gets people's blood boiling in this business.
Write a story about how 190,000 people in Mississippi could have their electric bills go up by more than 33 percent because big business wants a new toy to play with, and you get a note or two, mostly from CEO or PR types concerned about their image.
If you criticize the governor, there will be a few more people calling to make their feelings known.
But have someone write a feel-good story about a long-time Mississippi businessman who happens to be a former big-time college football quarterback, and then sit back and watch the fireworks.
We recently ran a story on Jackson's Glynn Griffing, which detailed the successes of his insurance business over the last 40 years after he starred at quarterback for Ole Miss during the school's winningest era.
Phone calls, e-mails, letters and I think some smoke signals began pouring in complaining.
About what?
The story included mention that the Rebels won three national championships during Griffing's tenure at the Oxford school.
Only in the South could a feel-good story about a former athlete turn into what some readers believe to be a covert attempt to mislead the public on issues of national security.
"Why do you hate Mississippi State so much?"
That was one e-mail. There was another I probably wouldn't repeat unless we were in a bar.
There are lots of football fans out there who like to point out that Ole Miss never won an "official" national championship. Their argument: The Rebels were never crowned by the Associated Press (AP) or United Press International (UPI).
Those were the only recognized organizations for handing out such designations, the haters like to say.
Unfortunately, college football has been without any real structure for naming a champion for as long as there has been big-time college football.
When the story about Griffing was turned in to me, I was aware of the circumstances.
However, my reasoning, as a former sports editor, has always been that college football has created this issue, and teams that won shouldn't suffer because of the sport's stubborn ineptitude.
The organizations that voted Ole Miss champs in 1959, '60 and '62 are many of the same that have voted seven other SEC schools champs at one time or another. Because the NCAA has never recognized any school as a Division I-A (or FBS) champion, and these other groups (like Billingsley, DeVold, Dunkel, Football Research, FW, National Championship Foundation and Williamson) were considered legitimate by most in the business, there is no reason to not mention Ole Miss among schools to win national championships in football.
That surely doesn't change a lot of people's minds, but before you hit "send" on the next e-mail, at least first take off your favorite team's jersey.

While some Rieslings are bone-dry, most (especially in California) have a degree of residual sugar—the percentage of sugar remaining in the wine after fermentation—for these food-friendly wines range from ±1% (or dry) to ±2% (or off-dry) and V. Sattui makes a wine at each of these levels. Our White Riesling, made from the true Riesling grape of Germany's bereich covering the entire Rheingau region, and which grows so well here, has intense tropical fruit aromas with clean, green apple, honey and apricot flavors. Its finish is softly floral, rich and opulent. Its medium-sweetness invites sipping even on it own, but certainly with many foods.
* California State Fair
* Winemaker Challenge
* Sommelier Challenge
A perfect match with Asian foods, smoked fish or pork, and duck dishes accompanied by fruit sauces.

Hi guys I've made quite a few changes to help make CTB easier to browse and use on a mobile phone/cell phone browser. These changes do alter the look of the site on desktop as well. The one big change as I'm sure you've noticed is that the entire left column is gone. This is to help maximize the screen real-estate when you are browsing on a phone.
I also made many small changes on the view topic page. For instance it should now be easier to navigate a thread (going to the next page, previous page, etc) as the space between the links (now look now buttons) are larger. The spacing between some of the small icons have been increased also.
If you have any feedback or issues please reply to this thread, and I will look into it. Thanks guys!
Thanks David.
Great job, david.
Thanks guys- yeah I'm eager to hear how it looks on a variety of phones. The experience was much better on my phone (a Motorola Android phone) after these changes, but I'd like hear how it is on an iPhone and other popular phones as well.
it really needed to happen. looks great! thanks!
So much easier now since 90% of the time I'm using my phone.
Good work David. Thanks.
Removing the left column helps a lot.... Its great btw I'm using iPhone 4s
Looking good on the Galaxy S III.
Thanks David, looks great on my galaxy s2
Great work, David! Thanks!
Works awesome now! Thank you!
Same here!
Looking good on my Windows Phone! [HTC Trophy]
Ironically it worked just fine on my phone before and is way temperamental now.
Thank u David. That side tab. Was Really getting annoying. When trying to type on the iPhone 4gs. You did a great job. You guys should come out with a phone app 2. Nice work.
Did you put the alert moderator on the middle too?
Can you provide more detail on what you are seeing and or post a screen shot?
Ah you're talking about that expand plus-sign menu right? Yeah now you have to click the + sign for it to expand so hopefully it won't obscure typing for you now.
Not on purpose actually- it looked like that because I made the post body column fixed-width now so that a large image will no longer stretch the border to the right and make posts harder to read on a thread. But yeah I moved it now to the bottom so it looks less out of place.
Looks good on my HTC Vivid....great work David.
desktop view Q? ..... it appears that people's signatures are cut off via desktop view. is anyone else having this issue.
Not really any issue just an observation
Hope the site is awesome when I get a new phone. My phone is a piece of crap that shuts down when I get on the internet. It drains the battery.
^^I took a look and it took out pretty much all the thread links from the main page, so yeah no go- thanks though.
No problem, just tryin to help

"From the moment I tried the Helix, I thought, 'Why didn't I think of this!' I love the lateral movement of the Helix, its ability to really hit the hips and butt, and the way it gets my heart rate up so effectively." Celebrity trainer and nutritionist Harley Pasternak.
The "Big Dog" is finally here! The long awaited full club version of the amazing Helix Lateral Trainer. The Helix HLT3500 is the most revolutionary movement in the world of cardio trainers.
Unlike other machines, the Helix HLT3500 lateral trainer works the body side to side instead of just focusing on the muscles of the fronts and backs of the legs. You also target the glutes and the inner and outer thigh ----the total leg 360 degrees. This results in great shaping results for the entire lower body, especially for women who are often looking to tone up exactly the areas that the Helix focuses on.
The Helix HLT3500 is very user-friendly and completely non-intimidating. The HLT3500 is self powered, has a compact 3' x 4' footprint, 8 Exercise programs, Polar compatible, electronic resistance, LED computer monitor, a 3-Years Parts, 1-Year Labor Commercial warranty and 5-Year Parts Residential warranty!
The Club version Helix HLT3500 is a new lateral trainer that, unlike other machines, works the body side to side. This is an exciting advance because instead of just focusing on the muscles of the fronts and backs of the legs, you are also targeting the glutes and the inner and outer thigh ----the total leg 360 degrees. This results in great shaping results for the entire lower body, especially for women who are often looking to tone up exactly the areas that the Helix focuses on. Any machine which helps you use more muscles will translate to burning more calories. Great for weight loss!
Unlike elliptical machines, the patented motion of the Helix also works the inner & outer thighs, delivering the kind of leg & glute sculpting usually seen only via weight training. Treadmills, steppers, ellipticals: they all work the body in a front-to-back motion, with great aerobic results but little spot toning. The Helix™ "sideways figure 8" motion lets users target their toughest areas while they condition aerobically. What does this really mean?...A truly enjoyable workout that gets better results in less time.
Work both Inner & Outer Thighs with Unique Motion
The lateral, Side to Side, Figure Eight Motion Delivers Better Results for Toning and Shaping, Weight Loss, Sports Therapy and Physical Rehabilitation.
Engage More Muscles, Burn More Fat
The Helix® engages all of the muscles of the lower body, actively working the #1 trouble spots for most women: the inner and outer thighs and glutes. That translates to superior results: shapely legs and a toned and lifted butt.
Why Clients Love It:
It saves time: The Helix delivers strength training-caliber results while blasting fat and calories. Your members get the equivalent of a 60-minute workout in just 30 minutes.Bottom line results: The machine™ new "lateral figure 8" motion puts emphasis on the entire leg, 360 degrees, not just the front and back of the legs like other machines. This means incredible results for the glutes and the inner and outer thighs. And it™ the only cardio trainer that works the core!
Zero learning curve: Clients don't want to have to learn a new skill or check with an instructor before they try a new machine: they want to jump on and start working out. The Helix is user-friendly and completely non-intimidating.

Temporal arteritis is inflammation of the arteries. It affects the arteries in the head, neck, and upper body. The temporal artery is most often affected. It runs over the temple, to the outside of the eye. In extreme or untreated cases, this condition can lead to blindness or strokes.
Two other terms often associated with this condition include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The cause of temporal arteritis is not known. It may result from an autoimmune response in the body. An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system mistakes the body's own tissue for a foreign invader, attacking and damaging it.
Temporal arteritis is more common in women, and in people aged 50 years and older. It is also more common among Caucasians, especially those of Scandinavian or northern European descent. Other factors may increase your chance of getting temporal arteritis include:
Temporal arteritis may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Corticosteroid therapy is used to decrease the swelling and inflammation. It will also help decrease the risk of blindness. At first, high doses are often given. The doses are then tapered off. Therapy is often continued for several years.
Long-term use of corticosteroids has some harmful side effects. These may include:
Supplements will help to stop these effects on the bone. The supplements may include:
Your doctor may recommend that you take low-dose aspirin every day. This may help to reduce the risk of vision loss associated with temporal arteritis.
There are no current guidelines to prevent temporal arteritis.
