US: Immigration overhaul would cut federal deficit
More News from Associated Press
WASHINGTON—A US immigration overhaul would cut hundreds of billions of dollars from the federal deficit over the next 20 years if it gets through Congress, congressional budget analysts said.
Tuesday's assessment cheered supporters of an issue that President Barack Obama has placed at the top of his domestic agenda. They said it would add to momentum behind a measure that toughens border security while holding out the hope of citizenship to millions who came to the United States illegally or overstayed their visas.
About eight million immigrants living unlawfully in the US would initially gain legal status under the sweeping legislation moving toward a vote in the Senate, the eagerly awaited analysis by the Congressional Budget Office said.
Immigration has become a top national issue once again after opposition Republicans lost last year's presidential election as Hispanic voters voted overwhelmingly for Obama, wary of the conservative Republican focus on deportations.
The new report said the immigration legislation would increase federal spending in the form of benefits for those gaining legal status, but those expenses would be more than offset by a rise in the labor force, increasing revenues. Not all of the forecast was favorable, though. The report said average wages would decline through 2025 as a result of the bill, and that unemployment would go up slightly.
The report said deficits would fall by $197 billion across a decade, and by $700 billion in the following 10 years if the bill becomes law.
The White House quickly issued a statement saying the report was "more proof that bipartisan commonsense immigration reform will be good for economic growth and deficit reduction."
Meanwhile on Tuesday, the Senate moved ahead on a sweeping, bipartisan measure that Obama supports. It appears on track for a final vote there as early as July 4.
The assessment came as the pace of activity increased at both ends of the Capitol on immigration legislation.
Challenged by protesters chanting "shame, shame," Republicans in the House of Representatives advanced legislation to crack down on immigrants living illegally in the United States, at the same time the Senate lurched ahead on a dramatically different approach offering the hope of citizenship to the same millions.
Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina said the bill approved by the House Judiciary Committee was part of a "step by step, increment by increment" approach to immigration, an issue that can pit Republican against Republican as much if not more than it divides the two political parties. The legislation was agreed to on a party-line vote of 20-15 late Tuesday.
California Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren predicted there would be "millions of American citizens taking to the street" in protest if Republicans pressed ahead with the bill. The measure permits state and local authorities to enforce federal immigration laws and requires mandatory detention for anyone in the country illegally who is convicted of drunk driving.
In the Senate, a bipartisan bill that Obama supports appears on track for a final Senate vote as early as July 4.
In a series of votes during the day, the Senate rejected a proposal to require the installation of 350 miles (560 kilometers) of fencing along the US-Mexico border before legalization can begin for anyone currently in the United States illegally.
The Senate also rejected a proposal to prevent legalization until a biometric system is in place to track people entering or leaving the US through air, sea or land points of departure.
Republicans generally want to toughen the measure, particularly since the bill includes a 13-year path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally.
The measure was drafted by a bipartisan Gang of Eight and represents a series of political trade-offs among senators as well as outside groups like business and labor, growers and farm workers.
In addition to border security and a path to citizenship, the measure includes an expanded number of visas for highly skilled workers prized by the technology industry and a new program for low-skilled workers. It also features a top-to-bottom overhaul of a decades-old system for parceling out visas to future legal immigrants, reducing the importance of family ties while emphasizing education, job skills and youth.
In the House of Representatives, Republicans advanced legislation to crack down on immigrants.

Players think a considerably overrated player is the most underrated in baseball
Jul 16, 2012, 1:31 PM EDT
Michael Young is the absolute king of overrated players. That does not mean he's bad. In fact he's been quite good over the course of his career. But he has been considered far better than he really is — has been lauded for his game-changing intangibles, leadership and MVP-worthiness despite there being scant evidence of any of those things — since almost the first day of his major league career.
So of course when Sports Illustrated polled 228 major league players about who the most underrated of their ranks is, they chose Michael Young. I'd laugh if I wasn't on the verge of tears.
What is the source of Young's svengali-like power? I can get how people close to him — journalists, other players — can like the guy a whole hell of a lot, but why does it render them unable to view him objectively? Other players apart from maybe Derek Jeter don't have this problem. Journalists and players who surround them see their strengths and weaknesses and assess them more or less fairly. But not Young. Woe be unto the person who dares suggest that Young is not one of the best players in the game and one of the best leaders to ever wear a uniform. If you say that Young is merely very good and has, at times, not been an ideal leader, you're a hater.
The response will clearly be that I don't get it. But really, I'm begging someone, anyone, to tell me what it is I don't understand. What does Michael Young actually provide that causes a guy who gets MVP votes and kudos in total disproportion to his measurable accomplishments to be underrated? If it's just leadership, why is he considered a leader when other players who have acted in exactly the same way he has (i.e. having little tantrums when asked to move off a position for a better player) considered selfish?
I honestly do not understand. And I apparently never will.
- giselleisasucubus - Jul 22, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Over 200 players name him as the most underrated and we are supposed to read your "case" about him being overrated? Let it go, you are clearly dead wrong.

LBi recruits Ling as chief media officer
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 06 December 2012 08:00AM
LBi has poached Ed Ling, the MEC managing director of global solutions, to become its UK media director and chief media officer.
At LBi, Ling will spend the majority of his time working to evolve LBi's UK media proposition. In addition, he will work on an LBi Group level across 17 countries.
He will report to LBi's UK chief executive, Anil Pillai, and sit on the company's UK executive board.
Ling had worked at MEC for three years, having joined the media network in 2009 from the digital agency AnalogFolk, where he was a founder. Before this, he worked at the now-defunct agency i-level.
Caroline Foster Kenny, MEC's chief client officer, will assume Ling's responsibilities ahead of a restructure of the global solutions team.
An MEC statement said: "Caroline will continue to oversee the management restructure, working in close consultation with the London senior management team."

Teach tolerance.
"The sports teams and the president impact things that should account for less than 5% of your college experience, the rest of the stuff is what college is all about."
Should means something different to me and you then.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
If this guy was the recruiting director for Huggy Bear, then all that talk from NZ was a bunch of bull, and she should be ran out of town with nothing but the clothes on her back.
I liked Bob Huggins. Yes, he had questionable characters on his teams. He wanted to win ball games, and he did so, quite frequently.
So this new Prez. wants to "clean" things up a bit, fires him, but allows the hiring of the guy who got some of these players to Cincinnati?
Is the local press saying anything about this?
If not, they need to be running with this.
I HATE that woman. Yes, I said HATE. I HATE HER.

Why do you go to college? The answer for 99% of people is to get a degree, build relationships that are both personal and professional in nature, experience new ideas and different points of view, to expands one's horizon, participate in a campus community and to immerse yourself in the campus culture either by group participation (sporting events, campus wide rallies, protests, marches, etc) or finding your niche and contributing what you can. A basketball team only has upwards of 18 homegames per year. Lasting about 3 hours total. So roughly 54 hours a year are spent at home basketball games. Assuming 160 instructional days in a year plus time spent on campus, that is a very small portion of the college experience.Originally Posted by Cedric
And what does "AZ" mean?
I am not trying to get into a for or against UC and Nancy argument, and as a fan of UC basketball, I have followed the situation closely. I just don't understand how so many UC students and alumni, are so eager to spew venom at their school, because of a basketball team. I am not saying that disagreeing with school policy is bad, saying that Nancy Zimpher should be beaten or buildings on campus should be burnt, and that you hate your whole university is a completely different thing.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
The problem was he was trying to ban the sale of anything over a twelve pack around campus, and successfully lobbied the Columbus Police to ask beer distributors to get a name and address of where kegs were going. That way the police could come check your party. Then after all this went down and all these rules were put in place, then a member of Delta Tau Delta at OSU, Kirwin was a DTD from Maryland, dies of a overdose of GHB.Originally Posted by traderumor

As a current student at UC, I can tell you Nancy Zimpher is a clown. She handles the acedemic aspect of the college just as poorly as the athletic department. She has instituted changes that make no sense. She has cut back night classes, pretty well said that having a UC degree from before she came in means that it is inferior, and her hirings in administration has been questionable at best. You can't tell me she wasn't brought in to fire the people that the board members want fired, then leave town, so the board doesn't take the heat. She was a hired hand.
Now, back to the subject of Cronin being hired. I like this hiring personally. I think he is a good recruiter, and has shown the potential to be a great coach. But you have to wonder why they didn't go after a higher profile coach. Sure, Huggins was an unknown coming in, but the basketball program wasn't near what it is now. Besides, everyone pretty well knew this job was not AK's after he was not hired mid-season like he should have been. I believe if Andy was offered this job mid-season, he would have taken it. However, The situation worked out exactly as Zimpher hoped it would. The college didn't have to turn him down, he chose to go elsewhere, and I truley believe he chose Ole Miss over UC. He didn't want to come back to this hopeless job. UC has little to no chance of success for at least 2-3 years.
Finally, on another subject, I agree with fellow student who have posted on this topic. The handling of this situation severly impacts me at this college, but for different reasons. The life and success of this University depends on the success of its Basketball teams. Without the revenue from basketball, the donations by alumni, and the sales of merchandise, this University would lose Millions. Sure, they would still survive, but how about rises in tuition, how about the programs and equipment for studies at the University, its not free. Wether they will admidt it or not, alot of the money for the acedemic part of the university comes from Basketball. Right or wrong, thats the way it is.
I think Cronin is a great hire. I'm excited to see what he can do. He's a familiar name, a heck of a recruiter, and has the ability to heal some of the wounds this entire mess has caused.
LoganBuck, if athletics should only constitute 5% of the college experience, then why has Zimpher spent so much of her time (and the university's money) reconstructing the basketball program?
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
Wolfboy, I doubt Nancy has spent as much time on the basketball team as you think she has.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.

Excellent points. I wondered the same thing. My guess is that either they believed Huggins had the final say on recruits - which I'm sure he did - and all Cronin did was get the players Huggins wanted him to get. A nice rationalization but probably not very realistic. Or they figured they would be getting Huggins-lite with Cronin. Someone who can get good players to come in and compete on the highest level without the presence of Huggins. Also it never hurts to bring in a local product.Originally Posted by StillFunkyB
The media is all aquiver about Cronin coming back since he was part of the old regime and he's a local boy. It is really not fair to question him since no players under Cronin have run afoul of the law yet. However, if the same stuff that happened under Huggins happens under Cronin and the university turns a blind eye, then there is a problem.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I hate the way this situation was handled but I'll still support Cronin. He was the next best choice if they weren't going to give Andy a fair shot (talk about criminals...)
I didn't pay enough attention to what the administration does but I heard plenty of other complaints about Nancy's hiring/firing of other dept directors from classmates last spring. She's certainly making a name for herself.
As for the coaches, I plan on getting some K-State and Ole Miss gear. I don't consider Cronin a traitor because by leaving and going to work with Pitino is like a kid getting out of the family business and seeing what else is out there. Better to go have some experience elsewhere and return home. I think that is what it was all about. I just hope he's as good a recruiter as promised with Hugs there to back him up. Downey and McGowan are good solid players to reconstruct the team around.
That's pretty funny. I'm glad you are here to clear things up for the wayward UC fan.Originally Posted by LoganBuck

The word is a few big time donors, as well as one very famous former player , finally stepped up after she veto'ed Kennedy as the next coach. It was seen as the last straw I guess. They pretty much told her they are tired of her act and she was going to hire Cronin.................or else.

We had a bad experience with the hotel we had booked previously (placed in a smoking room with a non-smoking reservation, son with allergies/asthma). When we called Staybridge, we didn't expect an availability, but when they heard out story they worked on booking us right away in an available room.
The stay was great, the room was great. There's a nice little Chinese restaurant and a hot-pot place across the plaza. And the hotel is right near UB so it was perfect for graduation.

Great place/great location
This house has everything, the location is right across the street from the sandbar which even if you dont have a boat can just walk right out to it. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Plus the boat dock in the back is a deal breaker. Looking forward to staying again.
Beautiful and relaxing getaway!
We stayed here for our honeymoon. It was perfect. All the amenities you could need in this quaint and cozy cabin. Close to unique towns with shops and good food. Not far from Traverse City, which was fun to check out Cherry Festival. Headed to Sleeping Bear Dunes, breath taking! Close to the water, wooded and private...everything you could want for a mini getaway from all that life brings. Hope to return. Barbara is wonderful and beyond accomodating and helpful. Love Molly, too!
Amazing Vacation on Torch Lake
In short, we were blown away with how amazing this rental turned out to be. We stayed in the "Hidden Oak Cabin" but this is only a part of the wonderful atmosphere they have created on their property. The cabin was perfect. Everything we needed was provided for and the cabin itself was clean and cozy. The property and location are absolutely perfect. Just a short walk to the waterfront, but the cabins themselves are located in the woods and have a wonderful "secluded/private" feeling to them. There is a nice deck for grilling and lounging, a hammock in the trees and a perfect setup for having a campfire. We loved our stay. All attractions and amenities are near by, so it really was the perfect spot. We rented a boat and spent a day on Torch Lake (highly recommended), we were only a 20 minute drive from Elk Rapids (beautiful beach and harbor town) and only about 35-45 minutes from Traverse City. We loved everything about our stay, we will definitely be going back, and will most likely be making it an annual trip.

Churk: Not for Thanksgiving
Here's what happens when livestock breeders cross a chicken and a turkey
More than a half-century ago, researchers at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center outside Washington, D.C., engaged in some creative barnyard breeding. Their goal was the development of fatherless turkeys — hens whose eggs would hatch without being fertilized by a tom. Along the way, and quite by accident, an interim stage of this work resulted in a "churk" — the scientists' term for a hybrid that had a chicken for a father and a turkey for a mother.
The creatures were literally twisted, with crooked legs, beaks and feathers.
Adding insult to injury, the churks were only half as smart as their parents, according to Marlow Olsen, who headed the fowl research project.
It would be tempting to call this bird an ugly chuckling or a pathetic gobbler — except that the hybrid remained largely silent unless disturbed. Then it emitted a puny, chickeny chirp.
But that didn't prevent Science News from crowing about the animal as a "history-making cross" in its November 5, 1960, cover story. The story billed it as "the first known hybrid of two families of birds."
The text also suggested why we'd hear little more about the animal. The hybrids were all male, so they couldn't reproduce. The offspring proved devilishly difficult to nurture, even just to hatching. The three Beltsville birds that lived to seven months of age were the sole survivors of 2,900 eggs that the scientists had fertilized using sperm cells from a male chicken.
Olsen was not the first to encounter trouble while creating a chicken-turkey hybrid. A 1960 paper he authored in the Journal of Heredity cited a reference to 12 previous trials, none of which resulted in a single hatchling. Several additional reports claimed to produce a few live young, he says, but offered no details. Part of the problem likely traced to a dramatic mismatch of the parents' genes.
Chromosomes are threadlike structures in each cell that carry the genes that pass on inherited traits. Chickens possess six pairs of chromosomes, turkeys have nine. Each offspring receives one-half of each chromosome pair from its mom and its dad. That should result in a newly matched pairing of traits from each parent. Except that the 15 chromosomes that each hybrid started with had no chance of pairing appropriately into six chromosomes like dad's, nine like mom's — or any other number in between.
That appears to explain the sickly offspring that developed.
Mother Nature, however, has created what looks like a healthy chicken-turkey hybrid: the colorfully named Transylvanian naked neck chicken. There are no turkeys in this bird's ancestry, however.
As their name implies, these chickens have featherless necks. "We initially worked on identifying the mutation that causes the naked neck trait in chickens, as we are interested in understanding how patterns arise," explains Denis Headon of The Roslin Institute and the University of Edinburgh's Royal School of Veterinary Studies in Scotland. His team traced the trait to where "part of chromosome 1 had moved across to chromosome 3 and inserted," he says. Follow-up studies, Headon adds, showed that genes make the neck skin of these birds especially susceptible to losing the ability to produce feathers.
Naked-necked chickens of various types occur around the world. In some parts of the Middle East, Africa and Asia, Headon speculates, this could develop because such chickens "are more tolerant of heat than are fully feathered chickens."
As for Transylvania as the birds' ancestral home: "This seems quite unlikely," he says. "Domestic animals often have geographically misleading names (the turkey itself being a great example)."

Rock of Ages overlooks the Lake Erie islands and is in the quaint village of Marblehead and is only a hop, skip, and a jump from the east gate of Lakeside (The Chautauqua of Lake Erie) in one direction and the historic Marblehead lighthouse in the other. The lighthouse is a spot of natural beauty and the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes.
We have traveled around the world and this is our favorite place on earth! Friendly, down-home people, great entertainment (at Lakeside and the islands), wonderful local history, great boating and fishing, Cedar Point, and the waves and the winds of Lake Erie, are constantly there. What a place! From Rock of Ages'tower room is one of the best views of Lake Erie in the area. Come and see!
Rock of Ages has a 120-foot spacious lakefront patio and three other patios with plenty of furniture for sunbathing, eating and gazing at the lake and watching the boats and ferry to Kelley's island. Of course, you can swim off the flat glacial rocks right in front of the house. A large sandy beach is a short drive away. We still have the original limestone fossil walkways from when 'The Rock' was first built. There is a large hot tub overlooking the lake.
We have plenty of room for the whole family (7000+sq.ft.) and lots of bed and bath options. There is a first-floor suite with a king bed and its' own bath for those who do not do stairs. On the second floor each of the five bedrooms has a king-size bed and a private bath. The third floor is great for kids. Six bedrooms surround a large common area with a large-screen TV.
There is one king bed, one queen bed, 5 full-size beds, 3 twins and 4 rollaways up there. The third floor bedrooms share a fullsize bath and two half baths. You have already heard about the view from the tower room! It has a kingsize bed, its' own bath, and a roof-top patio. Folks will fight over who gets to sleep there!
On the first floor as well as the kitchen and dining/great room, there is a living room with TV and computer with internet access. The first floor also has two half baths. The lower level - not really a basement (it was the old summer kitchen) is a large game room area with a pool table,pingpong table, TV, half bath, and tables and chairs. There is a backyard patio with two large grills. Rock of Ages has a large parking area to accommodate big groups.
Although it is wonderful in the summer with the windows open and the lake breezes, we do have air conditioning. Rock of Ages can be used year round and the lake in all its glory in the winter with ice and snow is something else!! It is a great place for business or church groups or special interest retreats and seminars, for example birders or artists.
Our rates are for the entire property, not per person as in an inn or bed and breakfast. Our kitchen can easily handle the needs of a catered event or a weekend getaway. We can put you in touch with a couple of local catering companies just around the corner from Rock of Ages who have catered a number of groups staying at Rock of Ages. They can cook for you all week,or just do a special meal indoors or outdoors.

It is an absolute privilege for me to own Rock of Ages and to share it with guests! I love the local history of this area, and The Rock is an integral part of the history of the quarry in Marblehead and the founding of Lakeside --The Chautauqua on Lake Erie
The Owner purchased this house in 2002
We have had a cottage at Lakeside for a number of years and we love this area of Lake Erie! The views are amazing, and it is very relaxing to spend time here.
Plenty of space for our family and friends! Enough bathrooms :) and privacy! I love to cook--- Eating outside on the lakefront patio--
We came to Rock of Ages to learn more about God, have fun, play games and have good times! thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!
I have stayed at Rock of Ages three times with a group of 10 women! It is a wonder place to stay. Large enough for the whole group, yet cozy corners to get away from it all. The kitchen is large and great to work in. The view of the lake from almost all the windows is an added bonus! If the weather is nice, you can walk right up town to all the shops and places to eat. I can not say enough good things about this place!
We've rented Rock of Ages three times and with each visit, I am as impressed as I was the first time. The occasion for our most recent stay was to celebrate my father's 90th birthday with his siblings (ages 77-89), children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. There were 29 of us altogether. Rock of Ages is the only home that can accommodate this large of a family without any of the inconveniences of renting a hotel. There's something special that happens when everyone is gathered together in the great room and dining area while others are prepping meals in the kitchen: conversation! Though the home has a number of TVs, none were ever turned on the three days we were there, we were all too busy catching up with one another. The kitchen is a joy to work in with every pan, utensil, serving dish you could want. The beds are comfortable, the linens luxurious, and plenty of bathrooms. I can't wait to return for whatever the next occasion might be! So grateful Marla is willing to share this gem with us.
ROCK of AGES!!!!!
We took this literally because our group consisted of the youngest being 6 months and the eldest ______? Read on.
This place is amazing. Words cannot express the beauty in the home and all the added touches Marla gave to our family experience. We were there to celebrate the 90th birthday of our mom. She thought she was going to a quaint bed and breakfast but when she walked in the place she thought it seemed huge. When she turned the kitchen corner to look into the living room there in front of her on the beautiful wooden banister stood 40 family members to greet her. In the background one heard the song "Happy Birthday" being played on the grand piano.
Out the front windows one can see Lake Erie, frozen at this time of the year. The kids in our group loved making snowmen and just being outdoors taking in the ambiance of the snow falling from the sky.
The first floor had room for everyone to sit, visit, eat, do karaoke, reflect, and just connect with all. There were three areas to sit back and do whatever.
The second floor was amazing with each bedroom having its own bathroom. It was so cozy under all of the warm feather blankets and yes having your own bathroom to share with no one was grand.
The third floor brought more excited for the cousins got to room with each other. The girls loved the pink bedroom with the cool ceiling. Some of the boys slept in the extra family room on that floor. They had to watch one more movie before they fell asleep. Little to their knowledge they feel asleep 15 minutes once the movie started.
The game room in the basement lead to many ping-pong tournaments. If that was not enough fun, you could also challenge each other at a game of pool.
The kitchen was well equipped and nothing was lacking at all for our family pleasures.
My mom loved her surprise party and all of us enjoyed visiting family members that came for afar. What a neat place to rent out for these special memories.
Thank you for all that you did for our family and opening your home for others to enjoy too.
This was the second year in a row our family celebrated the Holiday's at Rock of Ages. We found the place to be clean, cozy, and fresh upon our arrival. Believe me when I say the house is stocked very well, an abundance of serving dishes and silverware, spices in the cupboard, dish washing detergent, laundry detergent, you name it, they have it! The separate bedroom that is connected to the back of the home on the main floor, is a dream for the Grandparents to retreat to.
Those guests who could not make it due to 8 inches of snow, missed the madness of a snowball fight on the second night. Twenty-some teenagers and adults engaged in friendly fire. A good time had by all! Thank you Marla!
We spent a weekend at Rock of Ages with a group of 25 women, who work together. We have already booked this house again for next year! Your home is spectacular, beautiful, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. We loved everything about this property. We never felt crowded, and there is plenty of space to be alone or for everyone to be together, both inside and out. Loved the hot tub, swimming in the lake, the views, the antique furnishings, the fully stocked kitchen, the lighthouse, and the shops, and never having to wait for a bathroom or shower!! What a gem this place is. Thank you for sharing it with us, we can't wait for next year.
This is the third time our family has used the Rock of Ages as a gathering place for special events. Our family travels from all over the country and we could not find a more perfect place to hold our celebrations. We have been there twice over Labor Day and once in March. Each time we've enjoyed the beauty of the seasons and the charm that Rock of Ages has to offer.
The kitchen is amazing and has everything you would need to make the most elegant of meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well furnished and very comfortable. There are a number of small children in our family and even in March, there is enough space between the basement and family rooms for them to play and not be under foot.
This past visit was during the special celebration of the reenactment of the War of 1812. There was so much to do in the surrounding area but we never left the house because there is always so much to do just in your own back or should I say, front yard. We had so much fun watching the freighters coming and going as well as playing games that we all bring for the weekend.
We always come away from the weekend anxious to return for the next special event. There is no need to look anyplace else for such a special venue. We LOVE the Rock of Ages and look forward to our next visit. I would recommend Rock of Ages to absolutely anyone who would like a very special place to spend time on Lake Erie or just get away to relax.

Earlier this week, I interviewed Bro. Mike Coppersmith and former Cynthiana Mayor Virgie Wells, who serves as the church historian, about the church's history and to find out how the congregation planned to celebrate this event. It will be a feature story for next week, so be looking for it.

Staete Landt Annabel Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand
Winemaker's Notes
Staete Landt 2010 'Annabel' Sauvignon Blanc has an intensely aromatic classic nose with nectarines, tropical and citrus characters. In the mouth a soft velvety texture with abundant peaches and grapefruit flavours with chalky & slaty characters, rounding off in an elegant mineral finish.
This wine is drinking well from now onwards but will increase in complexity and reward cellaring for up to 5 years.
Formerly known as Estate Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is now named "Annabel," named after Ruud and Dorien's (Staete Landt founders) youngest daughter.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Twenty percent of the 2010 Annabel Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in old French barriques. It offers fragrant notes of lemongrass, lime leaves and coriander seed over a core of green apples and lime slices. Bone dry and medium bodied, it has refreshing acidity running through the concentrated flavors, finishing long and a little chalky. I tasted this same wine from under screw cap and cork and there was very little discernable difference between the bottles, though the screw cap was just slightly livelier."
International Wine Cellar - "Pale bright yellow. Aromas of gooseberry and underripe stone fruits. Offers nice texture and concentration, with sweet stone fruit flavors framed by strong acidity. A bit rigid but not bad. The lingering, brisk finish features grapefruit pith and caraway seed."
Staete Landt Winery
At Staete Landt they produce wine for the top end of the market, which is the segment of exclusive and (super) premium wines. With a team of passionate wine people they are highly committed to their land, its soils, their vines and their wines. They look after their vines and resources with great dedication in order to make wines that truly represent our unique terroir on the 'Golden Mile'.
The 'Golden Mile' is the name given to a special strip of land in Marlborough located on the old riverbed soils in the sub region of Rapaura. This relatively small area of land has the most optimum wine growing conditions due to its unique microclimate. Some of the oldest and most famous Marlborough vineyards are planted in this area.
The intense 'Rapaura' flavors are nurtured in the winery, as they practice minimal winemakers intervention. This means they use the very best of traditional winemaking methods with the latest technology and their own passion for. The results are honest character wines with an old world texture and elegance. View all Staete Landt Wines
About Marlborough(mahrl-bore-oh)
Sitting pretty on the northern tip of New Zealand's south island, Marlborough has become synonymous with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. As well it should be – Marlborough is the primary region for those delicious, citrusy, summer-lovin' wines with vibrant acidity and pungent, grassy, grapefruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc is the main grape here; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling are also made.
Notable FactsThe region has well-drained alluvial loam soils, which are perfect for grape growing. The grapes receive a good deal of sunshine during the day, but recovers in the cool evenings. Marlborough's growing season is long, which helps foster the gradual, even ripening of the grapes. Not made for much aging, the Sauvignon Blancs of Marlborough are of the buy 'em and drink 'em class of wine. Expect little vintage variation here - quantity differs more than quality.
About New ZealandThe country of New Zealand is about 1000 miles from the coast of Australia. It consists of two long islands, end to end, that are approximately the same length as California. Most of the country's climate is maritime due to the abundant coastline. The northern island is warmer and wetter, while the southern island is cooler and dryer. The most popular grapes of New Zealand are Sauvignon Blanc (made most famous by the bright, crisp wines coming out of Marlborough), Chardonnay and the ever-growing Pinot Noir.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Villa Teresa boasts elegant, spacious interiors that have been lovingly realized and furnished by its owners.
Outside is a fabulous private pool, immersed in a mature, beautifully designed private garden (3.500 sqm) offering view of Mt Etna and of the Ionian sea.
The main entrance takes you in a spacious living area with dining room and kitchen. From the large sliding doors you can enjoy a view over the pool and Mt. Etna. A second lounge area with TV accesses the main kitchen and the sleeping quarters: three large, comfortable double bedrooms (two of which with en-suite bathrooms), and a triple bedroom, a bathroom and an utility room. One of the double bedrooms accesses a private terrace with views of the Ionian sea as far as Catania and Taormina. Two bedrooms access the porch overlooking the swimming pool.
Beside the pool, there is a charming, large outhouse with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a living room with open kitchen.
The villa has a maximum sleeping capacity of 9 guests. The outhouse offers 5 sleeps and is available for an additional price. The entire property - villa and dependance - can provide accommodations for groups up to 14 adults. Extra baby beds available for up to three babies.
The property is ONLY EVER rented to one group or family at a time, so our Guests can be assured that during their stay they will have total privacy and exclusive use of the pool.
The villa, garden and pool were entirely designed and built by the owners Angelo and Maria Teresa, a builder and a landscape architect, respectively. The furnishings, parquet and finishes in wood, lava stone and terracotta have been chosen with great care.
The caretaker lives in the basement (which has a private entrance and no shared space with the Guests' area). He accesses the area around the pool, where the villa and dependance are located, early in the morning or late evening, for ordinary pool cleaning and grass watering, and will be easily available for any requirement.
My name is Nadia and, together with my brother Fabio and my parents Angelo and Maria Teresa, I am the owner of Villa Teresa. I graduated in Foreign Langueges and Literatures in 2011 and, although cultivating an unbridled passion for travel, I have always been living in Santa Venerina. I love to share my home, this gives me the great privilege to meet different people from all over the world.
My father bought our property in 1986. He was enchanted by the beauty of that vast plot of land cultivated with vineyards and citrus groves that offered an unrivaled view and that, despite being in the countryside, was so well connected to neighboring towns.
On the property was a lovely winery that, once restored, became our home for a few years. Villa Teresa was built between 1988 and 1995, with great dedication and extreme care for details. My family and I lived there until 2010.
We share our property with genuine passion, aware and proud of the uniqueness of this place. Guests enjoy total privacy and breathtaking Mt. Etna and sea views in a unique natural setting, between palm trees, flowers and fruit trees.
The luxury villa, garden and pool were entirely designed and built by my parents Angelo and Maria Teresa, a builder and a landscape architect, respectively.
The furnishings, parquet and finishes in wood, lava stone and terracotta have been chosen with great care.The beautiful handcrafted wooden doors and parquet are made of Afrormosia, an exotic hardwood among the most valuable in the world.
Wow! What an amazing experience. We travelled through Italy on a family trip and finished out trip in Sicily. We wanted to make sure our final stop was the best and we definitely got that at Villa Teresa! Everything was perfect from the home to the location as well as the service from the owner. The were attentive to every need and question we had and were very helpful with local knowledge and advise. I would recommend this place to anyone! The pool, the orchids, the wonderful garden, the spacious, clean, large home and view of Etna just made it perfect.
To Nadia, thank you for making our once in a lifetime holiday absolutely perfect. Good luck with everything in the future.
My family and I had a wonderful holiday here. We arrived late afternoon and were welcomed by the family and quickly settled in. The children couldn't resist a late swim in the pool which was a really good size for me and four children. The views to Etna were obscured a little by cloud but the next morning I was totally taken aback by the beautiful view of Etna in one direction and the coast in the other...stunning! The villa was clean and spacious and we quickly relaxed and felt totally at home. In fact we were so relaxed that we really didn't stray far but ate out a few times in Santa Venerina and managed a day trip to Etna. For the more active the villa is well located for lots of day trips. However, we were happy to lie in the sun and make full use of the pool. I would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family. We had a fantastic holiday and look forward to going back one day.
Dear Nadia
First of all I'd like to thank you for the familiar hospitality in Villa Teresa. As you know, we stayed for one week with my wife, sister and brother in law in the small but very friendly village Santa Venerina. From there we could visit lots of beautiful places in Sicilia. Of course we had to rent a car at the airport.
Villa Teresa is really elegant and spacious. The mediterranean property surrounded by a huge garden with swimming pool, rich orchards, olive trees, flowers and silent footpaths were wonderful. From the north-west side of the house we saw Mountain Etna and from the other side of the Villa we had an extreme view to the coastline from Taormina to Catania.
Dear Angelo, Maria Teresa, Fabio, Dario & Nadia,
Please allow me to congratulate you for the simply wonderful property, and the family-run operation and services. We recommend truly your villa for all guests who want to spend a holiday in a luxury surroundings.
For a week we stayed with 13 people (including kids) in this stunning villa. There was enough room for everyone with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The villa, swimming pool and garden were very clean and are even more beautiful than described and expected! You will immediately feel at home thanks to the friendly owners, the enormous space and very cosy and beautiful interior of the house. The garden is very big and well taken care of with lots of flowers and fruit trees. The family is very friendly and helpful and they speak English which can be convenient. The location is very convenient as well for trips to the Etna, Taormina, the beach etc. We will definitely recommend this villa to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Sicily and enjoy a perfect and relaxing holiday. Thank you so much for a great holiday, we will definitely come back!
We would like to thank again this wonderful family for our excellent vacations at their villa! Special regards to Mr Angelo for his sweetest in whole Sicily oranges!
We came to the same property for the second time and never regret it. Nadia and her family are very friendly, helpful, delicate and hospitable. The property is exactly as described, lots of character, spotless clean, very well maintained. The house's construction is interesting. We had party of 12, there were enough space for everyone. The villa is charming, very spacious, beautifully decorated, comfortable. Bedrooms area is separated from living-dining, which is very convenient. Incredible sea view from the living room. Beautiful big pool, garden, where you can taste lemons, oranges, grapes, almonds, grapefruit, etc. Nice place to spend time with kids. Two our girls (11 years) and Alexander (1,5 year) just loved there. Walking distance to grocery, restaurants, Russo bar with excellent marzipan, croissants and cassata. Convenient location to many sightseeings and towns. We would highly recommend villa Teresa to all our friends!
The villa is just 5 minutes walk from the seventeenth-century village of Santa Venerina, which is a popular stop on the way to Etna, famed for the production of sweets and liqueurs. In the village there are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets and shops.
Santa Venerina is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily thanks to its very strategic position halfway between Catania and Taormina. The village distance 5 minutes from the highway A18 Catania-Messina from which (in an average time of 20 minutes) it is possible to reach the most beautiful places of eastern Sicily.
The charming town of Acireale is only 15 km far from Santa Venerina. It is situated next to the 'Riviera dei Ciclopi', a unique coast with a crystal clear sea and lava stacks (faraglioni) which is believed by Greek mythology to correspond to the stones thrown by blind Polifemo to Ulysses.The Riviera traditional resort towns of Acicastello and Acitrezza have long been a magnet for local day trips and offer arguably the best Granita to be found anywhere and lots of good seafood trattorias.
The village is just 25 km from Gardini Naxos and 30 km (20 minutes with the highway) from Taormina, which draws more visitors than any other town in Sicily, thanks to its splendid position and its Greek/Roman theatre with a unique view of Mount Etna.Torre Archirafi, Pozzillo and Santa Maria la Scala are pleasant seaside villages near Santa Venerina. The nearest can be found in Praiola (8 km), a wild pebbled beach next to an impressive cliff.
Santa Venerina is also an excellent starting point from which to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings. The towns and villages that dot the flanks of Etna, such as Zafferana Etnea, Trecastagni and Randazzo, are well worth stopping off for a visit to their seventeenth century churches built in lava stone or for a spot of lunch in restaurants offering delicious local products. The village is only 4 km away from Zafferana Etnea and 10 km from Rifugio Sapienza, the main ski area, where it is possible to take the Etna cableway.

Hi everyone,
I'm having the same problem as a lot of designers – I'm trying to rebrand myself and finding it tough.
I've been trying to simplify my branding, and also make it a bit more professional-looking, and I've come up with this: http://bit.ly/dUXU6l
I'd really appreciate any opinions you have.
i can't see anything but a blank page : /
silenceplease saidHmmm, works fine for me!
i can't see anything but a blank page : /
I really like it, elegant and clever yet simple. You've achieved your goals with this rebrand in my opinion!
i can't see anything but a blank page : /
Maybe it's a minimalist design.Well the new one looks more corporate and with nice typography. Personally I think the style of the old one is more interesting and less obvious.
silenceplease said
i can't see anything but a blank page : /
Working fine here too, Weird eh? Everyone that seems to be able to view it is from the UK!
Doesn't work so good for me either, but I just used webkit inspector to dig it up manually. I think your jQuery is broken.
"TypeError: Result of expression 'b("."+G).live' [undefined] is not a function. – jquery.colorbox-min.js"
Looks good, have you thought about aligning the type with the type in the mark, letting the box extend outwards? Somehow I think that would sit better. Can I ask what the 'Fi' is representing?
silenceplease said
i can't see anything but a blank page : /
The current logo looks quite unsubtle. The new one, on the other hand, looks quite nice. It looks wayy…yy better than the current one. So I'd say go for it. Also you might want to add some details in this new one. Maybe a little bit of noise or colors, etc. Gray doesn't add the spice and lately, I've seen many logos with similar elements.
Still, for now, this new one looks really good. It's well-balanced and pretty neat. Good luck with all the new changes.
I would say that i like the old one but your new logo can be better if you work on details. So… one color spot doesn't hurt anyone.
Another one thing:
Raincutter said
Still, for now, this new one looks really good. It's well-balanced and pretty neat.
I want to know where is that balance. You wanted to align the text with the top and bottop margins of the logo square but you made a compromise and now you have too much empty space between the "Fiona Roberts and "Graphics" lines. I think you should have nearer the two text lines, combine them in one single group, and then you should align the text group with the middle of square. This is horizontal balance. Normaly, this is the right way if you like the icon on the left side.
Also Raincutter have a great point on his reply. Just some thoughts.

Rear shock oil weight and amount for 2008 KLR650

Alcohol attracts water. Use Maxxima suspension clean or other specific product, or just flush it with suspension fluid.

I think oil coming out was what should have happened, steps 24-25 here -
When I initially pressed the valve only gas came out. I played with it a bit, compressed it, and hit it again, thats when some gas followed by oil came out.
The instructions have you add the oil during assembly into the shock tube, but I think it should work adding it thru the air valve. I'll put some alcohol in and work the shock, flush out all the old oil, then hook a vacuum up to the air valve, working the shock in and out to get all the alcohol out. then add the new oil, work the shock to get it thru everything, then pick up the instructions at step 24.

Belgrano Train Station C
The building right there is the start of Chinatown.
Hola Hola,
Three weeks now. I am filled with a clash of emotions, I feel that I have been here for so long. Because I have had so many new experiences but then I am realized I am only just scratched the surface on my time here. Time is moving both slowly and quickly at the same time if that makes any sense at all. I have really have accomplished a lot here, my Spanish has significantly improved. I am now holding my own in the conversations at the dinner table. There is so much cultural exchange that happens during this meetings. Even if it is just learning a couple of new words or phrases or talking about football(soccer in the states) with Hugo. I get so much from these experiences. I have realized that in order to find my way into these conversations I need to try to isolate one of the family members and get talking to them. Then it is easier to find my way around, I can pretty much get my point across. One of my favorite skills I have acquired is being able to talk around a word. If I don't know the word exactly in
Train tracks
Spanish I have the ability, probably more so the confidence, to use words I do know and hand gestures or what have you to get find the word. And then I know it. There is just an indescribable amount of learning going on everyday, it is quite tiring but I am sure I will survive 😊. Onto some of the anecdotes that I feel are worthy of this illustrious blog. ja ja ja(thats what they use for ha ha ha down here) Thought I would throw a bit of culture at ya!
From where I left you last time I was once again planning on a trip to Tigre on Saturday. That plan once again fell through unfortunately apparently it was raining but I saw no rain that day. Who knows though. I was left once again with a gleaming wide-open Saturday. I made up for the cancellation with another beautiful day exploring the city. I met up with some friends at around two thirty and we decided that we wanted to explore the downtown area called Micro-Centro. The photos that were posted on my last blog were from that day exploring the obelisk and Puerto Madero. It was a

beautiful day even though the sky was veiled with clouds. That day I continued to be blown away by the diversity of this city and all it has to offer. I love the mix of European and South American culture and architecture. One of my friends put it like this "If Europe and South America were to have a baby, it would be Buenos Aires." That statement couldn't be more true. I am able to see this mix of heritages in all the people down here, ranging from dark to light skin and all different shapes and sizes. Amazing. That night my friends and I went out to celebrate Valentine's Day and met three very nice Portenas(Buenos Aires girls). It was an amazing opportunity to practice my Spanish while allowing them to practice their English. Ended up being a very fruitful cultural exchange.
On Monday I had one of the best nights of my time in Buenos Aires thus far. That day I had a Spanish test which I did really well on(quite proud of myself). That night we went to a local attraction called La Bomba de Tiempo. Which is a music group of around 12-14 people, that all

The one we took looked similar to those.
play drums every Monday Night. The following is an adapted version of my journal entry that I hope can paint the picture or as Tim O'brien states it in his book allow you to dream when you are awake and truly feel the way I felt. Bueno, let's begin shall we?
Walking in River Buenos Aires.
"We met up at seven, the three of us Brandon, Adam, and Daniel. Right in front of the McDonalds two blocks away from my apartment. We exchanged kisses on the cheeks (a local custom here in Buenos Aires) then shot the shit for a brief moment before we descended into the Subte. After an unusually long ride on the Subte we exit and hit the ground surface. The sky is on fire! The boldest red streaked with light bands of white. Didn't think colors like that existed in this city. Reminded me of the brilliant sunsets back in Colorado. After walking two blocks in the wrong direction we turn 180 and are back on the right track. Before getting to the venue we decide a couple of brews are in order we run by a convenience store(kiosco here), grab a liter of Heiniken for
Early morning in Tigre
$8 pesos. On the way in we met two more friends, Jerry and Troy. We all went in as a crew but quickly split up. 20 pesos for the ticket, pretty affordable I think, I could do this every week. I hear the drums echoing off the white concrete walls and feel a deep unyielding desire to dance, and I did. Oh how I did. Stomping my feet to the unified sounds of drums. La Bomba was standing on the stage all in red sleeveless shirts and pants. One of them would stand at the front and act as the Maestro directing the music, using all of the instruments to their full potential. When you dance that hard there is tribal feeling almost like meditation. Everything just falls away. I think that's why I love it so much. It is honestly just you and the music, close your eyes and the everyone in the room disappears and you can be free to move however you feel. My heart, feet, and mind were moving in harmony to the sound of the drums. In these moments all my badness and malcontent came off of me some into the earth with my stomping

feet and the rest exiting through my pours. Simply transcendental. The music ended and I was hot and tired. We exited the building to step into ankle deep water. The heavens had opened one of my friends joked, "I WAS dancing the raindance". Another curtain of rain had fallen over the city. Huge droplets of rain splashed all around me and we decided that we could make a run to the Subte station. The city had literally stopped; there were no cars on the side streets. We ran right down the center of a street laughing the entire time it was such a beautiful rain after an amazing night of music. We caught the last subway back to 9 de Julio which is still quite a distance away from the house. From this point on the night only got wilder. We decided to catch a cab back to our neighborhood because you could die waiting for a bus late at night in this city especially in the rain. The four of us got into the cab told the driver our destination. The traffic was just miserable for being midnight on Monday. Get got us to about thirty blocks away from

our house and stopped and said he could go no further. I didn't understand why but I soon found out. As we walked towards home on Sante Fe the water on the streets was over the curb and covering most of the sidewalks in three inches of water. We pressed on, already completely soaked, couldn't get anymore wet at this point. We advanced to find that streets had turned to rivers with currents and whitewater. All the rainwater was trying to find a way to the river and the sewers simply couldn't handle it anymore like a mass of people rushing toward the exit of a building. The water just kept getting deeper soon we were walking down the middle of Sante Fe a pretty significant Avenue in the center, holding onto a rope in thigh deep water. As the few drivers in their cars passed us a wave would roll and crest and break right into us. We talked and laughed with city workers as we trudged through the water. They told us "Welcome to Buenos Aires" the scene is truly indescribable. One of my friends took videos of it and I hope to post it soon to show

all of you. Brown water subsided soon and instead of taking a bus home we decided to cap the night off with a twenty-minute walk home soaking shoes and all. This is a night I will remember for my entire life I am sure of that."
Hope you enjoyed that. I would love to tell the story to all of you individually but I hope my writing does it justice.
This weekend I had two excursions that were both fun in their own regard. Saturday we went to Dia de el Campo, which was basically just a day on an Argentine ranch. If you look at the included pictures you can see what it looked like. We played a couple of games native to Argentina and I rode a horse that didn't want to go as fast as I did. I had my first Asado experience, which is like a barbeque in the states. I tried all sorts of meats, most of which I didn't know what part of a cow they came for. In that regard ignorance is truly bliss. One of my goals for this trip was to break out of my picky eater habit. So far
Boat in the background is the grocery boat
I have been successful in this goal. This day was extremely relaxing and it was nice to get a break from the city. Although I love being here it gets a little overwhelming and tiring. I have never been in an urban environment for this long without seeing a big sky that is definitely one of the things I miss most my beautiful mountains on a bluebird day with white puffy clouds floating by. Ahhhh. That is pretty much all I have to say about that day, I will let my pictures do the rest of the talking.
As of now, I have just arrived home from Tigre, Yes I finally went after a long period of waiting. We were with a relatively small group. I was really content with that fact because it allowed me to not feel like such a tourist. We took the train there which only takes thirty minutes. Tigre is an area were a lot of wealthy people have summer or weekend homes and it is a delta community. There are so many houses on the river. We took a boat tour for an hour on the rivers and saw so many little houses

right off the river. There are no roads or bridges so all the transportation is done by boat. Instead of a grocery store they have a grocery boat that comes to people's houses individually to deliver food and water. It was a unique experience another thing that I had never seen before. After the boat tour we had time to wander the market there, which was teeming with artisan good. I had lunch at a restaurant there with my friend Devin and paid 15 American dollars for a Stella Artois and Steak(pictured) it was my first real Argentine steak sweet lord it was worth every penny. So tender and juicy, I will be consuming many more of these tasty temptations. After the market we went and had a snack at a restaurant at a restaurant right on the river plate. We could see the city in the distance from the grassy lawn. There were kite boarders literally flying in the strong winds. It was my first real good view of the river, which I think is less like a river and more like a bay because you certainly cannot see across the other side. But that may be just splitting
King of the River
hairs. I took a moment here to sit by myself and really soak in what was happening.
I am so blessed to be here was a reoccurring thought it my mind. I have been granted such an amazing opportunity here. First of all I was filled with gratitude to my wonderful parents who made it possible for me to go on this trip. It is still hard to find words strong enough to show my appreciation. I hope that my stories about my time here show them that I am making the most of the my time here and take advantage of every moment to experience the world in a new way. I will never forget the sacrifices they have made for me to come down here. Never. Continuing I am going to continue to push myself in school and life. I want so much more! I have learned so much already and am capable of so much more. I will never stop! In that regard I am comparable to a sham wow(yes I truly just compared my self to a item on a T.V. infomercial) Its the truth though I continue to absorb new information whether it be through
House of some important person, can't remember
Spanish class, cultural exchanges in the community, or through the various books I have read down here. I am striving with a fervent passion and exuberance for life like I have never felt before. I can do anything.
St. Ignatius Loyola said "Go forth and set the world on fire." That is a quote that I keep fresh in my mind during my journeys, I fully intend to.
Thanks to everyone for their support and comments you are the fuel for my fire,
Bueno Chau Chau,

so hard to follow up with a meaningful comment after reading something you have written so well and so descriptive I could truly picture it and just about feel the rain. I'm so glad you are making the most of every minute, and impressed you're picking up the Spanish so quickly. I agree you have truly awesome parents. Love you Patrick.

I'm ashamed to admit all the different wax/sealers I've tried over the years. I do a bit of detIling on the side and although I can't speak to the durability, this stuff has the warmest,glassest shine of any I've used. I leaves a very slick,smooth finish very similar to Meguiars hi-tech yellow wax.It's very easy to use,leaves no powerdy residue,dries almost clear and is easy to remove. Follow the directions and you'll be fine. I can't stop looking at my car!!

I saw limo drivers using it while they were waiting at Kennedy Airport. The said it was a bit hard to apply, but left an excellent shine that did not wash off. It was very good on my Acura.

Ez to use. Lasting & worth for money
Submitted on 2/29/12 | By Gates
Compared to all those expensive waxes, this is the best product that I used and the shine is out of this world, easy to apply and remove, I recommend it to every car detailing buff, I use it in our business of limousines and the cars are the most looked at when we are on the road, other companies tell me that we just got the car repainted,

The Suspension Revolution Review by Go and Get Healthy
Go and Get Healthy has completed a detailed review of the Suspension Revolution program designed by Dan Long. The program is based on muscle building and weight loss.
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 10, 2014
Dan Long CPT, CKMT, a suspension training expert and renowned fitness coach and trainer, developed the Suspension Revolution to help people gain muscle and lose stubborn fat. According to the review, the program can help anyone get into shape. Long teaches a series of specific exercises that not only will build muscle, but will burn fat and help people to lose weight. Long reveals the secrets that have helped pro-athletes get ripped muscles with his specially designed course. "According to Long, conventional weight training will not help you to burn fat," says a goandgethealthy.com representative.
The Suspension Revolution outlines the secret exercises that have been used by elite forces and pro-athletes for fat burning and building muscle. The course consists of the 191 unique suspension exercises and the 27 metabolic work-outs that will help users to burn fat and get chiseled muscles. Learn about how to burn fat while sleeping. Long states this is called, "After Burn," which is a phenomenon that happens post-workout.
According to Go and Get Healthy, the Suspension Revolution, is easy to follow and do. "You can go at your own pace, follow along with the video instructions, build muscle and burn fat. The program comes with everything you need to know about the special exercises and how to exercise every muscle in your body," says a Go and Get representative.
