Unemployment to remain high, apartment rents on the rise
Forecast points to competition between online shopping, retail centers
But he said his customers have backed off of risky ventures, preferring investments that spin off cash returns.
"They focus on income," he said.
Event keynoter Steve Pumper, executive managing director at Transwestern, a Houston-based private commercial brokerage, spoke of a growing trend by mortgage servicers to foreclose on commercial and residential properties.
But out of the wreck in the housing market, in which so many buyers fell into foreclosure and are upside in the mortgages as prices fell from 2005-6 peaks, may arise a new attitude.
"I just think people don't want the hassle of homeownership anymore," he said.

PCI Warns Consumers of Danger of Lightning Strikes
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America is encouraging consumers to avoid harm and be aware of the fire risks associated with lightning strikes.
The National Weather Service says there were a total of 23 fatalities caused by lightning across the country last year, and 145 more people were seriously injured. Lightning also caused $23.9 million in property damage and ignited wildfires that burned more than three million acres of land.
Joe Woods, the group's vice president, says while Oklahoma and other states experience severe drought and lack of rain, the threat of lightning igniting a wildfire is a possibility.
The group recommends that consumers review their insurance policy and limits each year and consider installing a lightning protection system or using surge protectors and inventory household items with photographs.

Cats are America's most popular pet, but they're also filling up shelters and rescues. We can give you the resources to provide the best care for your cats.
Resources and Articles
From the Magazine
Collars and Sense
It's often said in the sheltering field that a collar and identification tag are a lost pet's best chance of returning home. That's especially true for felines: Only 2 to 5 percent of the millions of homeless cats entering shelters each year are reunited with their families.
Survey Says ... Get a Cat!
The Morris Animal Foundation surveyed non-cat owners about their perceptions of cats to gain insight into what may be preventing them from finding those homes. The results show that the next wave of cat owners may come from unexpected segments of society.
The "101" Department: Helping Cats Find Their Happy Place
A cat adoption space should appeal to both felines and the people who come to see them. Learn how shelters are sprucing up their cat rooms with elements that keep cats engaged and please potential adopters, too.
It's a Cat-Help-Cat World
When the lions and tigers at In-Sync Exotics sanctuary lent a paw by hosting an event to help their lap cat counterparts at a neighboring cat rescue, both groups benefited.
Creating Pro-Kitty Cities
Using new thoughtful and unique adoption campaigns, two shelters try to draw attention to and increase adoptions of their feline residents.
Sample: Nevada Humane Society - Animal Help Desk Caseworker Handbook
Clients ask your front desk staff for help with many different issues, from behavioral problems to rehoming animals. Use this sample helpdesk handbook from Nevada Humane to help your staff be ready to assist!

Safe Cats
The HSUS Safe Cats campaign has a primary goal of convincing cat caregivers that there truly is no place like home for their cats. Safe Cats increases awareness about the threats cats face when allowed outdoors without supervision, shatters the myth that an indoor cat is an unhappy cat, and spreads the word that shelter professionals and veterinarians alike advocate against allowing pet cats to roam.

Articles on Declawing
We know how traumatic declawing can be for cats. How can you help a cat that comes into your shelter already declawed?

The Yogurbella concept was founded in December 2004, by South Korean business man, Jin Park. This new frozen yogurt has already replaced traditional ice cream in his homeland. In early 2004, Jin envisioned bringing this frozen treat to the US. He personally assembled a team that included interior designers, architects, contractors and marketing professionals to help establish the Yogurbella brand. As a result, the first store was opened in Coconut Grove, FL, in the popular CocoWalk Mall. Today, Yogurbella is now positioned to grow nationally & internationally by offering franchise opportunities, which in turn, introduces a healthy and fresh alternative to customers world-wide. Yogurbella is quickly becoming the most talked about, great tasting, premium frozen yogurt available.

Idunno - do you think your blood smell overcomes your sweaty foot smell? ;)
I've had my boots fairly covered in deer or elk blood, and never had any problem with 'em attracting bears. Mice and raccoons are another story. When we were kids, a raccoon once took a bite out of my sisters flip-flop that she left outside at camp. No blood or other bait that I recall.
Pretty sure that nothing brings in a bear better than fish smell - except maybe pastries with fruity filling.

Body Piercing UnlimitedRead MoreBack in 1991, Kevin McKinley was in the middle of his last day as a banker, his future career path uncertain. Just before punching out, he found himself in conversation with a customer sporting an array of piercings. The man told Kevin about each of his piercings, where he got them, and what they meant to him. An admirer of free-spirited creativity, Kevin was immediately intrigued by the piercing philosophy. "It's all about feel," he explains. "With change, there's pain. With pain, there's clarity." More than three decades after piercing his first client, Kevin helms a team of 30 tattoo artists, piercers, and laser technicians at Body Piercing Unlimited. He calls the team a collective "jack of all trades," with the ability to craft or alter virtually any tattoo or remove unwanted ink altogether. His studios combine modern inks, needles, and lasers with a vintage atmosphere that displays antique bicycles and wall panels bearing artistic works. The black-and-white checkered floors reflect Kevin's reverence for tradition, harking back, he says, to the East Coast tattoo parlors of the 1970s and their legendary face-offs between Garry Kasparov and a computer.10400 E Palmer Wasilla HwyPalmer, AK US
Wolf Eye CenterRead MoreDrs. Lauren Evans, Jacob Frank, and Kara Reynolds protect the power of sight at Wolf Eye Center. The trio of talented optometrists—who studied ocular disease during their residencies—cares for eyes with everything from standard eye exams to glaucoma treatments. In addition to caring for adult patients, the team of eye professionals also treats little ones, helping correct lazy eyes and outfitting budding athletes with sports goggles. While the doctors detect disease and calibrate prescriptions, the center's knowledgeable staff helps clients peruse a selection of frames from the likes of Gucci, Coach, and Vera Wang. Frames are filled with thin, high-index lenses or Transitions lenses, which shift from clear to tinted when exposed to sun or a pageant queen's sequined evening gown.4505 E Greenstreet Cir.Wasilla, AK US
Alaska Vein CareRead MoreThe licensed, board-certified doctors and sclerotherapy-certified nurse at Alaska Vein Care vanquish spider veins and enlarged, bulging varicose veins with FDA-approved treatments. Injections of a sclerosing agent seal the interior lining of spider veins, diminishing their appearance by blocking blood flow. Treatments for varicose veins include EVLT treatments to restore normal circulation, micro-phlebectomy procedures to remove looped veins, and sclerotherapy, which closes vein walls.3066 E Meridian Park LoopWasilla, AK US
HCG Weight LossRead MoreThe HCG Diet is Here and it Works Not all Homeopathic hCG is created equal. We use a broader spectrum Homeopathic hCG 6X,12X,30X,60X plus a homeopathic amino acid complex consisting of (L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, L-Ornithine and L-Tyrosine) in a 3X,6X,12X,30X complex for added support.1830 E Parks Hwy Ste 113-615Wasilla, AK US
The MedSpa PalmerRead MoreThe Med Spa?s dual-minded staff combines medical precision with an artist?s eye for aesthetics, personalizing appearances with a wide variety of advanced treatments and noninvasive procedures. Over the course of three laser hair-removal treatments, a certified nurse practitioner clear-cuts follicle forests sprouting from underarms, upper lips, masks of Chester A. Arthur, abs, chins, and bikini lines with the heated laser light of a strand-stunting photothermolysis spotlight. Give epidermal interlopers, including age spots and sun damage, the hot foot with a photofacial. Technicians send pulsing light past resistant outer layers on a mission to stimulate subsurface collagen, waking up new growth that smooths out broken capillaries or fine lines.

Linux 2.6.20-rc6 Kernel Performance
On top of our hardware reviews and comparisons at Phoronix we also cover and compare the latest ATI and NVIDIA drivers along with some of the other popular software packages; however, we have decided to feature Linux kernel performance comparisons with each major release. We will be covering some of the major highlights with each release as well as comparing its performance in a variety of tests against recent kernels. The intent of these articles will be to provide users with a better understanding for some of the prominent changes as well as to see how the performance is affected in some of our commonly used benchmarks. Without further ado, we present our kernel comparison for the Linux 2.6.20-rc6 kernel!

Linux Overclocking Software
In 2005 we had featured several articles on the state of NVIDIA graphics card overclocking under Linux. In early 2005 the only option for Linux users was NVClock. The open-source NVClock was started by Roderick Colenbrander in 2001 and since then has been evolving. However, coming out in June of 2005 from the NVIDIA camp was CoolBits support for their alternative operating system drivers. This feature was certainly revolutionary for Linux gamers and enthusiasts. However, after a recent inquiry on the Phoronix Forums, this article has been constructed to spell out a few things about overclocking software available for GNU/Linux.

GNOME v2.17.1
After last month's release of GNOME 2.16.0, the 2.17.1 release of GNOME has been announced this morning -- in the development cycle for the road to 2.18.0. The changes are fairly extensive already for being the first test release in the GNOME 2.18 cycle. Of the updated packages in this first development release is new encoding profile support in Banshee, network game support in many of GNOME Games, Gossip fixes, GNOME Power Manager advancements, and much more. We have already fired up GARNOME and have plenty of screenshots of the freshly-compiled GNOME 2.17.1.

GNOME 2.16.0 Beta 2
The second Beta for GNOME 2.16.0 is now out. GNOME 2.15.91 marks the API/ABI, feature, string, and UI freeze in the GNOME 2.16.0 candidate. We had used GARNOME with GNOME 2.16.0 Beta 2 and now have some visuals today showing a portion of the improvements in GNOME 2.16.
11 August 2006
GNOME v2.15.4
The fourth development release for GNOME 2.16.0 has been released. In GNOME 2.15.4 are several enhancements (mainly under the hood for this release) but it is certainly attention for GNU/Linux desktop enthusiasts. For those not wishing to take this unstable exploration of GNOME 2.15.4, we have provided screenshots of this release today at Phoronix.
15 July 2006
Mozilla Firefox v2.0 Beta 1
The ever-popular Mozilla Firefox web browser is coming out today with the first Beta release for Firefox 2.0, which has been dubbed Bon Echo. We had covered the previous Alpha releases at Phoronix, and today we have up a few shots from Mozilla Firefox 2.0 Beta 1. Of the new features is the integrated spell checker and anti-phising tool. The final release for Firefox 2.0 is due out later this year.

Opera v9.0 Browser
Coming out of Norway this morning is the long awaited Opera 9, after previous Beta/preview releases. Opera 9 is focused on being efficient, productive, secure, stylish, and innovative. Some of the new items in Opera 9.0 include Bit Torrent, content blocker, Widgets, site preferences, and more. Here at Phoronix we have a few shots up of Opera v9.0 under Linux.

The GIMP v2.3.9
The GIMP, the popular open-source multi-platform image program, has come out this afternoon with what will hopefully be one of the final development snapshots in the road to GIMP version 2.4. There are 28 notable changes in GIMP v2.3.9, which brings the total count for the GIMP v2.3 series up to approximately 260, of course, that's not counting all of the bug fixes and code cleanup. We at Phoronix have taken the GIMP v2.3.9 code and compiled it to visually demonstrate some of the changes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

it's looking good, I think you need some buttons to click on to back and forward a "page" as I got confused at first as to what to do and took a bit of time to work out what to do and click on to get to the next part. the table of contents on the right does need to be more prominent and perhaps larger too (perhaps on the left?)
I prefer the PDF format better, as it works great as a big bundle for offline reading.
We are keeping the PDF format, so don't worry! The HTML version is just another format.
Agree with Dr Small. When will PDF version be available

Why do racquets with a small head size have such high prestige among some people?

Yes! Federer the only one who play with 90 head size but if you look t the other top 9 there sponsored by babolat,prince,head and yonex basically. Those brands don't have under 95 but for the head prestige mid 93 and the yonex tour 89. So player who get sponsored by those brands have to chose a racket that suitting to there game, but if there isn't one the company will customize it. plus most players today play with semi-western or western bigger head size for them is better. 100 head best for western i find.
You make a very good point about the grip's relationship to the racquet. Weight also factors into this as well.
Western grips require vigorous upwards wrist action. This means that the bigger head size will lower the risk of off center hits and shanks. Weight needs to be lower because the upward acceleration requires immense wrist strength.
Conservative grips on the other hand are favorable to smaller head sizes and higher weights because of the stability, control, and less power for flatter shots.
Using a flat shot on a >100" racquet will result in loss of control and racquet instability and a heavy topspin shot will be shanked or hit off center with a <95" racquet.
BUT THAT'S ONLY MY OPINION AND A GENERALIZATION. If you can pull it off, props to you.

Park in Glenaffric Street at The Gap, 10 minutes drive from the city, and enjoy the delightfully shaded walk along the Enoggera Creek bicycle and walking track, talking to the friendly dog walkers (dogs always on leashes) and locals. Cross the creek via the footbridge to School Road and stroll around Corra-mulling Family Park, believed to mean 'flat rock' in the Aboriginal language. The locals have planted many rainforest trees, bushes and exotic plants along this walk; try to identify some, sniff some and conjure up a familiar scent. A leisurely hour's walk.

National League Game Summary - Miami at Philadelphia
(Thursday, June 26)
Final Score: Philadelphia 5, Miami 3 (14 innings)
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Chase Utley's game-winning homer in the 14th inning helped the Philadelphia Phillies to a split of a four-game set with the Miami Marlins with a 5-3 win on Thursday.
Jimmy Rollins reached on an infield single to begin the inning before Utley slammed his sixth homer into the seats in right to make a winner out of Justin De Fratus (2-0), who allowed a hit and a walk over two scoreless innings of relief.
Chris Hatcher (0-1) served up the longball from Utley to absorb the loss.
"Having Jimmy on first base, a base-stealing threat, you assume (Hatcher) is going to come after you a bit," said Utley. "I swung at a bad pitch ball two, then I was able to square one up."
Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels gave up three solo home runs among six hits and struck out seven without a walk in seven innings of work. He had surrendered just four homers in his first 12 starts this season.
All three Miami homers were leadoff blasts, with a Marcell Ozuna drive to left-center field putting the Marlins ahead 3-2 in the seventh.
The Phillies, however, capitalized on an error and tied the game in the bottom of the inning.
Miami went to the bullpen as Bryan Morris relieved starter Tom Koehler, who allowed two runs on seven hits, fanned six and issued no walks over six frames.
Domonic Brown led off with a pinch-hit single, advanced on a sacrifice bunt, reached third on a groundout and scored when first baseman Jeff Baker bungled a grounder by Jimmy Rollins.
"It was unfortunate that we weren't able to hold that lead," said Marlins manager Mike Redmond. "That's what happens."
The Marlins looked to reclaim the lead, forging a two-out rally to load the bases against Jake Diekman in the eighth, but the Phillies lefty struck out Ozuna to foil the threat.
Miami opened the scoring in the third on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's first home run since May 2, and Giancarlo Stanton doubled the advantage with a liner to left field in the fourth.
The Phillies loaded the bases in the home fourth and got a sacrifice fly from Carlos Ruiz. In the fifth, Utley dumped a Koehler offering into short right- center field for a two-out single, plating Ben Revere with the tying run.
Game Notes
Hamels has gone at least seven innings in 10 consecutive starts, a new career high ... Stanton tied Miguel Cabrera for fourth on the Marlins' all-time home run list with 138. Dan Uggla is first with 154 ... Miami third baseman Casey McGehee singled in the fourth to extend his road hitting streak to 17 games ... Philadelphia went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

Senator Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) and other supporters of SB 1132 cleared their first major hurdle in their renewed effort to place a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing and other forms of well stimulation treatment in the state of California.
On April 8, the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee voted to move the measure along, achieving the minimum of five votes to advance a bill. Some more moderate Democrats abstained from the bill, hoping to give Senator Fran Pavley's SB 4 a chance to work before more extreme measures, such as a moratorium, are taken.
As discussed in our February 24, 2014 post, despite SB 4's clear language allowing well stimulation to occur under a permit program, the sponsors are moving forward with a proposed indefinite ban on well stimulation until the completion of the independent scientific study, currently due January 1, 2015. In addition to that deadline, in order to allow operators to conduct well stimulation treatments after the completion of the scientific study, that study would need to conclude that there are no risks to the public health or welfare from well stimulation practices.

My fellow passengers were mostly those who decided to make the trip simply because the fare was so low.
Andrea Nazarian, from Gaithersburg, Md., and her two sons and mother decided to spend a night in New York. Their plan: visit the Museum of Modern Art, one of the few sites they have not seen in New York. (By the way, admission to the museum is $20, making the bus ride really seem like a bargain.)
So why did the family decide to take the trip?
"Because it was a dollar," Nazarian said, adding that it cost her more to take the subway to the bus stop.
In the past, the family has driven, flown and taken the train. This was its first time taking the bus.
Did they think there was a stigma to taking a bus?
"I don't think so anymore," Nazarian said. "Especially with the price of gas, who cares?"
Doris Henry and her daughter, Neisha, were doing a day trip to New York.
"I saw $1 and I couldn't believe it," Henry said. "So I'm taking a day to spend some quality time with my daughter."
"You can't compare it to driving. Considering gas and tolls, it's quite a bargain," she added. "I love Amtrak, but it's expensive."
BoltBus is just the latest transportation company to lure passengers in with the promise of ridiculously low prices. The idea is to catch somebody's attention who might have never thought about making the trip.
Last year, Skybus Airlines launched service with at least one seat on each of its flights for $10. And just this week, Spirit Airlines was running another ridiculously low-priced promotion, offering some seats for a penny.
BoltBus even boards by groups -- A, B, C, -- a system pioneered by discounter Southwest Airlines.
Two years ago, Coach USA launched a discount bus line called Megabus, which offered intercity travel for as low as $1. It started with service from Chicago to other Midwest cities such as Detroit, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Cleveland. In August, the company added bus routes out of Los Angeles to other California cities and to Las Vegas and Phoenix.
Now Megabus plans to go head-to-head with BoltBus on the East Coast. BoltBus plans to start service between New York and Boston sometime in April, and its Web site also mentions planned service to Philadelphia.
Megabus plans to serve all those cities plus Baltimore, Buffalo, N.Y., and Toronto.
These lines have to compete with so-called Chinatown buses: low-fare bus lines like Fung Wah and Lucky Star that operate between the two cities' Chinese neighborhoods, as well as other new upstarts, including DC2NY, Vamoose and Washington DeLuxe.
Also trying to get a piece of the action is LimoLiner, which casts itself as an upscale bus with leather seats, a private rear cabin for up to 10 people to hold meetings, complimentary snacks and drinks, satellite TV with news channels and fresh flowers in the bathroom, the bus line's "signature touch."
LimoLiner, however, charges a hefty $89 one way between New York and Boston.
For $1, BoltBus wasn't quite as lavish.
But BoltBus and other bus companies are trying to shed the image held by many Americans of buses being rundown and uncomfortable.

Please tell me I didn't hallucinate that this is also part of the package for next year.

It might mean the most/best academic support. It might mean studying a certain major that Michigan doesn't offer, or that, frankly, a college they wouldn't be able to be accepted into.
You would think after Myron Rolle Michigan fans would get off the high horse about academics.
It's one thing to hope that someone serious about academics would choose Michigan. It's another entirely to feel jaded that students serious about academics don't choose us.

CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien's 'next big story' looks at Ernest Withers
CNN news anchor and correspondent Soledad O'Brien's reporting credits include specials on "Black in America" and "Latino in America," so it's no stretch for her to be invited to hold a book signing at the National Civil Rights Museum.
The book, "The Next Big Story," published in November, is about her life chasing stories including Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti as well as retrospectives on the 1968 murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1978 Jonestown massacre in Guyana.
It's also no surprise that while in Memphis for the book signing from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, O'Brien will be working on her next big story -- a documentary special to air in February on celebrated Memphis photographer Ernest Withers and his role as an FBI informant during the civil rights era.
For some, it was a jaw-dropping revelation documented in a 2010 article by The Commercial Appeal. O'Brien said last week that the CNN documentary is not an attempt to further prove or disprove Withers' level of involvement with the FBI.
"Our strategy was never to have conclusions" (about Withers' role) she said. "It was more like looking into people's responses and what it meant to be a spy back at that time. The responses run the range of 'loved him' to 'hated him.'"
O'Brien joined CNN in 2003 as co-anchor of "American Morning." She reported on the scene from stories that broke on her watch, including an in-depth interview with former FEMA director Michael Brown after Hurricane Katrina.
From Thailand, she helped cover the aftermath of the December 2004 tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people in 14 countries.
O'Brien grew up on Long Island in New York, one of six children of an Australian father with Irish lineage and a black Cuban mother.
Her heritage plays a major role in her book, which includes an encounter with civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson on "American Morning."
O'Brien writes that Jackson complained prior to his interview that CNN didn't have enough black news anchors.
"I interrupt to remind him I'm an anchor. ... He looks me in the eye and reaches his fingers over to tap a spot of skin on my right hand. He shakes his head. 'You don't count,' he says. If Reverend Jesse Jackson didn't think I was black enough, then what was I?
"The arbiter of blackness had weighed in. I had been measured and found wanting."
Her biracial identity figures into her approach to writing the book and its subtitle, "The Next Big Story: My Journey Through the Land of Possibilities."
"I never talk about myself. It's not appropriate. It's one of the reasons I wrote the book. I really wanted to talk about where my perspectives on the news are formed."

Trips while living in Brussels, Belgium from July 1984 to November 1995
April 6th 1987
Published: September 30th 2011
Home and Away
Street scene in the Alfama district of Lisbon
Our next NATO Infrastructure Committee visit was to Portugal. Mom and Dad volunteered to babysit Tamara, so that Linda could go. Linda was now three months pregnant with our second child. So this would be her third trip while pregnant; the others being Norway and Germany in 1985. My parents arrived in Brussels on 2 April, so they had a few days before we left to settle in.
6 April 1987 Monday. The committee members and spouses met at Zaventum Airport in Brussels where we caught a commercial flight on TAP to Lisbon. The committee then proceded to the Ministry of Defense for lunch, briefings, and an overview of what we would see in the coming week. Following this meeting we checked into our hotel where we had the rest of the evening free. Several of us walked around Lisbon Castle (Castelo de São Jorge) and the Alfama, which is the oldest part of Lisbon with narrow cobblestone steets sprawling downhill to the bank of the River Tejo.
7 April 1987 Tuesday. Following breakfast we boarded buses for a tour of military installations to the west of Lisbon. Our first stop was Sintra Air Base where we were briefed
Woman filling her bucket at a fountain in Alfama, Lisbon
on the Infrastructure funded facilities and had a tour.
Our next stop was the Cabo da Roca ("Roca Cape" in English) on the Sagres Peninsula, located just a few kilometers west of Sintra, which is the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Tradition holds that Prince Henry the Navigator founded a school of navigators and map makers at his villa at this cape. The first discoveries were the Azores and Madeira, which he soon colonized. He sponsored explorations by Vasco De Gama and others along the African coast all the way to the Indian Ocean and Asia, establishing colonies all along the way. The voyages of discovery started at the nearby port of Lagos. Although there are no buildings remaining from his time, we stood on the promontory looking out to sea, and could understand why Henry might have been drawn to the unknown beyond the horizon.
We had a hosted lunch at Cascais, where we had the traditional meal of rice and cod. We learned that Portugese fishing boats sailed vast distances to get the cod, mostly in the North Atlantic at the Grand Banks off the eastern coast of Canada and the waters around Iceland. Iceland almost

went to war to protect their waters within the 200 mile economic zone from foreign fishing fleets.
We returned to Lisbon and visited several cultural sights on the way, including the Belem Tower, built in 1515 to guard the entrance to Lisbon's harbor, which now serves as a monument to Portugal's Age of Discovery. We also walked around the 18th century Pomboline, named after the Marquis of Pombal who oversaw the rebuilding of this downtown area following the earthquake of 1755.
That evening the committee and spouses were hosted at a restaurant in the Alfama where the evenings entertainment was the traditional music and dance called the fado. What the flamenco is to Spain, the fado is to Portugal. It is characterized by a plaintive crying song, accompanied with colorful dancers. It was a great evening.
8 April 1987 Wednesday. The next morning after breakfast we boarded the bus to visit south of Lisbon, driving across the Tejo River via the April 25th Bridge to the Alfeite Naval Base. Again we had a briefing of the construction projects funded by the NATO Infrastructure Porgam, and then had a tour of the base. This was followed by a
Bob on the castle walls in Lisbon
hosted lunch at the base.
We had the rest of the afternoon free to explore Lisbon. That evening were had a reception hosted by the Chief of Staff of the Portugese Armed Forces at an officers club. This was a very fancy affair, although not black tie as no one had brought their tuxedos. It was a stand up cocktail party with more than finger foods. A Portugese officer with alot of medals noticed Linda's condition and asked if he could help her by going to get her food. After she got her plate of cheese and strawberries, one of the other committee members asked if she knew who it was. She didn't know. He told her that it was the Chief of Staff. It was a wonderful evening with great food.
9 April 1987 Thursday. After checking out of our hotel we took buses to a military airfield where we caught a military transport aircraft to Ponte del Gada on Sao Miguel island in the Azores. The NATO Infrastructure program had funded a fuel depot and airfield here so we took a tour of the installations.
After a hosted lunch we reboarded the aircraft and headed
Robin on the castle wall of Lisbon
to Madeira. Landing there is an exciting experience as the airfield, located on the east side of the island, is short and bounded by steep cliffs. Nevertheless, we landed safely and boarded buses into the capital if Funchal. We checked into our hotel which was on a hill looking over the city. Some of us used the pool before heading out to explore the town and find a place to have dinner.
10 April 1987 Friday. We visited the military installations at Porto Santo for briefings and a tour of the facilities, and then were off to see the rest of the island. Madeira is a very mountainous island with steep cliffs meeting the sea with very few beaches. Driving around the island was very slow and the twists and turns caused a similar reaction in many stomachs. We finally arrived at a restaurant on a sea shore (I wouldn't call it a proper beach) on the north side of the island. Linda was in a race with the baroness wife of the Assistant Secretary General to get to the bathroom, followed by all the other ladies. I think they worked it out as Linda was much relieved when
she came out. We had a great lunch. We continued over the mountains back to our hotel at Funchal, arriving by late afternoon. We had the rest of the evening free to tour the town, and have dinner.
11 April 1987 Saturday. As this was the weekend, we had the day to see the cultural aspects of Funchal. Mostly it was an opportunity to shop as there was a great open air market. Others took advantage of the hotel pool to relax.
12 April 1987 Sunday. We returned to the airport for the flight back to Lisbon on the military cargo aircraft. We had the rest of the day free in Lisbon.
13 April 1987 Monday. We returned to Brussels on TAP.

I started blogging on Travelblog in 2009, entering trips beginning in 2007. However, my intention has always been to document my years of travel. Most bloggers write about their trips away from home. Mine, and eventually Linda's, homes have usually been where people travel to. So the idea eventually percolated to rename our blog "Home and Away." The blog is not intended to be an autobiography, although I spent my entire life traveling, with Linda joining me after college, it may appear to be that way.

It's been tough going at the top of college football and Oregon is apparently next up on ESPN's upset alert (brought to you by Geico or Southwest or…does it really matter?).
USC quarterback Matt Barkley believes it and wasted no time calling his shot on Twitter (since removed and this post updated).
Two thoughts:
(1) Barkley is still a minor and is illegally consuming adult beverages.
(2) He's probably drinking and watching UFC with Lane Kiffin. I'm guessing the conversation went like this:
Kiffin: Dude, this Zima rocks. Thought it was discontinued. How'd you score it?
Barkley: Huh? I'm Matt Barkley. I can get whatever I want.
Kiffin: Totally. You're so money, bro. You know what we should do?
Barkley: Don't say it, I already know.
(Barkley grabs bottle of Peach Schnapps.)
Kiffin: Shots!
Barkley: F'n' shots, bro!
Kiffin: F'n?
Barkley: Mom said I shouldn't swear.
Kiffin: I'm so wasted! Hey, you got Twitter on that iPhone?
Barkley: Yeah why?
Kiffin: You should tweet something about Oregon.
Barkley: Why me?
Kiffin: Hey, I'm the responsible one. Whoa, did you see that?! Lesnar just got his teeth kicked in!
Barkley: Oh, snap! That was tight, bro! Dude, I'm totally gonna' do it.
Hellz yeah, check what I wrote!
Kiffin: Nice!
Barkley: Nice.
(An hour passes)
Barkley's mom: Matthew! Are you on the Twitters again!?
Barkley: Oh no. No-no-no-no-no-no! Dude, hide the schnapp's! Hide it!
Barkley's mom: Open the door Matthew or so help me God!
(Delete's Tweet, Opens Door)
Barkley's mom: What's going on in here? Lane? Does Monte know you're here?
Kiffin: Hi, Mrs. Barkley. Dad went to bed a long time ago. I'm just watchin' some TV with Matt. We're cool.
Barkley: Alright you two. I don't want to find out about any funny business, you hear?
Kiffin/Barkley: Yes ma'am.
Obligatory note brought to you by Chip Kelly: Oregon doesn't prepare according to outside influences and could care less what Barkley says.
