Discussing Fútbol, and Slurs, in Spanish
Tuesday, July 01, 2014
After watching World Cup matches in Spanish on Univision, Felix Sanchez, co-founder of the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, called attention to the language some commentators used to describe players. Univision has responded, and the dialogue has inspired a conversation about race, language and Spanish.
Guests:Mr. Felix Sanchez
Comments [37]
Felix Sanchez has no idea what he is talking about...
he's just another neoliberal full with prejudice
Here's something that will bake your noodle. While negrito or moreno might be taken to be dismissive or racist, every team...Latin American, U.S., or European...is happy to have that black player on the team.
Mr. Contreras is wrong about Howard Cosell being fired over the"little monkey" comment. He was not fired . He resigned .
I almost felt like calling in and the perhaps I should have. Once in for all, Mr. Sanchez should discuss all the nuances and the usage of the word "Moreno" to the audience that was using it. Moreno as it is used in tri state area, especially among people of Hispanic Caribbean origin, it refers to someone with African descent in their looks. It is in no way denigrating. Moreno, as it is used South America, it refers to people who are brunette, irrespective of their skin tone.
To label its usage as something with racial overtones, it is something that only can occur in the PC culture of the United States of now.
If Hispanics, whether heritage speakers or not, choose to flood Univision to watch the WC, they also choose to embrace all the quirks and the nuances that go along with listening to sportscasters that are NOT the same as the people in ESPN.
Mr. Felix's critique of words that are used differently across different parts of the Spanish speaking America, for me, is simply another aspect of the failed policy or imposition of American moral values across the world. The last time this sort of thing was attempted, for me it reminds me of Iraq, and the high "moral" value of attempting to bring "Democracy" to the Iraqi people.
The word "Moreno" is not racist, as the word "cocolo" or "prieto" try can be. Perhaps if we follow Mr. Sanchez' logic, we should begin to ban the word, "negro", "gordo" or "flaco" from the Spanish vocabulary.
to say "Ese Negro",in any tone of voice;disparaging or otherwise,is problematic. reasons,being obvious.
i have no idea if "vampire suarez" is racist or not;and quite frankly,that's the least important discussion right now. he's alleged to have said "negrito" to a black footballer, which some writer at ESPN has taken the liberty to define,as, "Little black"[failing to understand, that Spanish is not literal and rigidly denotative, the way English,is;and,meaning is ascribed by context,history,inflection,intent etc etc]. Negrito[and or negro in certain usage,even],is anything but an epithet;at most,depending on context,it would be part of a mildly dismissive phrase. it's also a very sweet term of endearment,said to and by people of ALL colors in Latin America. there is no 'N" word equivalency here,not even close. if someone were to say. "Ese negro", with a tone of disparagement,then that would be understood to be coming from an ugly place.
"Poll: World Cup a liberal's game; just 30% of nation following it."
This is an important discussion about Hispanics adopting US standards. To excuse describing professional players by physical characteristics as affectionate is inappropriate. A great advancement in America has been the struggle for civil rights for blacks. Hispanics who immigrate must adopt US cultural standards.
Latinos use terms of endearment as a way to show connection and solidarity with each other. We in America are very sensitive to the race card. I do understand, i think we need to consider these as a case by case basis. The world is colorful people. lighten up
@pliny from soho
"this is their culture
and soon it will be ours

-not to participate"
Okay....I'll just stay cool because in 100 years the world culture will be Chinese.
Using characteristics rather than names or numbers is dismissive and unprofessional. It says, "I didn't even bother to memorize the roster because the people listening to me really don't care." This dismissiveness subtly sets an expectation level in the audience about how they can interact with others. Does it define how every interaction occurs? Of course, not. Do some people take it as a standard for dealing with folks they don't come into contact with on an every day basis. Yes, too many, but far from all.
This is about the commentators *not* the spectators. Some fans have taken to throwing bananas onto the pitch to 'upset' players of African ancestry. Fortunately for world football, players are making it clear that behavior is out. Even Lewis Hamilton, the Jamaican Formula 1 driver has had to put up with some pretty twisted sh*t. It doesn't get reported in headlines but those who follow the sport know it.
Wow, people in this country have gone bunkers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Typo below. I meant: "'guero' originally 'huero' is a native word..."
SamBrown from Michoacán: "huero" originally "huero" is a native word for the color of corn, which is a source of life over there. The term could only be positive. Your obliviousness to this fact only betrays your distance from these subtleties and under currents involved. For those who don't know (aparently many of you) "moreno" comes from "Moor". It literally means "like a Moor". It is not offensive by any means. UNTIL, that is, it shifted from "brunette" to black. This happened sometime in the 20th century. At that point SOME people used it to mean "not white" (i.e. black). Those people used it offensively. Other people used it as an equivalent of "negrito" as both a tern of endearment and as a despective (like "chinito", or "mexicanito", or "dominicanito"). These diminutive terms can be used as endearment terms if you know the person and happen to be hugging them at the time, or asking them for a favor, or behaving in intimate terms, but they can also be used as a despective term when you use them with strangers.
"Trigueño" means "the color of wheat", literally (trigo= wheat). The term was used for Caucasians who are not paper, or lily, white (think "high yellow" or olive). Eventually it was used for people who were light brown, and eventually also in the last century, it started to be used as a replacement for "black" by people who were too racist to call someone "black" because they saw being black as an inherently bad thing. This is the tragedy of racism in Latin America: that it is not the treatment that is seen as bad but the inherent race of the person which is seen as offending, so really racist people in L.A. will feel "bad for you" and say things like "No. You're not that black." the same way we tell our friends they're not that fat, or they don't look that old.
Yes, I grew up calling people, "gordo", "flaco", "negro", "enano", "rubio", etc., but I never used it for strangers. You walk up to a fat guy in PR and call him "gordo" and you will get the sh!t kicked out of you. It's the same thing here with the n word, AND THAT'S WHY PROFESSIONAL BROADCASTERS DON'T USE IT!!! This isn't rocket science people! What is it with this latest fashion among people to brush over racist language and even defend their entitlement to use it? It's ridiculous!
To all those people who are so sure that this is isn't racist I exhort them to go to the Dominica Republic and find the biggest black person they can and start calling them "negro this", "negro that". Please try it, and then post your picture here for us to admire your face.
@Sambrown, the guest's point was that the commentators seemed to have singled out just the black player(s) for that descriptive treatment. If they had referred all the players by their skin color, we probably would not be having this conversation.
If there were a blue-eyed, blond hair, anglo player on the Costa Rican team, I'm sure the commentators would have said "blanquito" in an "endearing" way; it still would have been inappropriate.
First of all the Mexican player's name was Hector Moreno! When they referred to moreno, it was his name. But also, having lived in Latin America for years I know that people are always referred to in an endearing way as el moreno, mi negrito, mi blanquito, la flaca, el gordito. It's used all the time about one's children and friends and yes, even enemies. I love hearing it used on Univision. It's like going home again.
Why not just refer to a player by his number? And I'm glad Mr. Sanchez specified that Univision *didn't* describe players of other origins in terms of their skin color/hair--I was going to ask about that. It makes a difference whether they treat other players the same way.
Television news takes PC to extreme.
When the police give out a description of a perpetrator they start with gender then race. Male, Black...
When the evening news describes the same person they omit the race.
They may have a sketch that indicates the race. but if the purpose is to warn the population of a potentially dangerous person shouldn't the description be complete.
The players have numbers on their shirts, use them. It is that simple!!!
When I was in Costa Rica people always referred to each other by physical characteristics: Gordo, bajo... after my initial surprise I found it refreshing that people were not hung up by their own, and others' physicality. I think the US culture of political correctness a new Victorianism.
Describing someone by their physical characteristics is not inherently insulting.
If there was not racism, this language would not be a problem.
American cultural imperialism;our sensibilities [about race, color or anything else] have to be S.Americans and everyone else's sensibilities. Never mind they abolished slavery before we did.
As a white guy who has lived in Mexico for over ten years, I've been called 'Guerro' for years, by the people who like me and consider me an adopted 'home boy'. The people who *don't* like me call me something else. I've never thought of those calling me by referring to my skin color as offensive. Just comes with the turf.
Mr Sanchez, more viewers on Univision than ESPN is because it's free, no dinero!
American soccer commentators are boring, it's all stats and way too much talking. The Univision guys have character, maybe they're not sensitive enough, but I do love it when they call Brasil's keeper 'Buzz Lightyear' and Suarez 'Dracula'.
Muy bien dicho Ed de Jamaica!
Hey Anna! You're in the U.S. now. Don't bring your IGNORANCE over here. Pul-eeze. Calling these people these names is a term of endearment? Now that's a mind f--k if I ever heard one. Geez. Why even give this woman time on the air.
Anna, YOU are really offending me right now.
I don't know how viewership is counted, but I watch Univision, even though I do not understand Spanish, because I don't have a cable contract so I cannot watch ESPN, but I can watch Univision for free on my computer or Apple TV.
Babies are born and called negrito, Clara, Blanca, trigeno I can go on and on.
There is a difference in the language and the culture.
They call fat people fat, skinny people skinny and white people white.
Folks relax.
Enough PC bull@#$. Enough coming up with euphemisms for simple things. Grow a thicker skin and move on.
The commentators on Univision perhaps do have a responsibility to be sensitive. But I don't think you can or should police the fans in the stadium.
this is their culture
and soon it will be ours

Re: the KLM/Mexico tweet:
When I see Mexican fans in the stands dressed in a sombrero with a fake mustache, I see no reason why KLM can't use the same picture. And the tweet said Adios amigos, not go home. But those are just facts getting in the way of a PC story.
Spanish have always had an interesting take on race: anyway from the condescending paternalism ("negrito, chinito, blanquito"), to the downright vile - same words used for a less than subtle putdown.
Then there are Mexican fans chanting p**to, when the opposing goal keeper punts a ball.
I like the comentating in Univision. I grew up in PR and I am of African heritage, but the commenters in Univision are not Caribbean commenters. They come from cultures who don't have sensitivity to issues of negritude and I know the context in which they use it. It is not a term of endearment. It is in the despective. They also use "chinito" instead of "asiático" and that term makes me cringe because I know the snicker behind it. I only use negrito with children or people who grew up with me. I don't use it with strangers.
This guy is on to something very unspoken about in our culture.
He is way too sensitive.... Most of the Europe and So.America talks like this!
Ai-yi-yi! Latin Americans clearly have a different relation between the races than us gringos. I don't get it but it's not my place to get upset for someone else. It's only been a decade since UniVision dropped the blackface minstrel from one of their shows.
I once was at a party where a woman from Brazil insisted that I dance with her because 'Your people dance so well'...I guess she meant it as a compliment but all I felt was sterotyped.
Even if it is a culturally acceptable "term of endearment", how is it not racist, when every other player is referred to by their last name, but only the "brown" guy is called "okay version of brown". When you treat one person differently just because they have different color skin, it is racist no matter your culture.
Isn't this a much bigger cultural discussion? Many Latinos call all Asian people "Chinos," we can't expect them to change it because of our issues.

Doctors Study New Methods Of Preventing Lymphedema
Hospitals in many states nationwide are looking into new simple methods of reducing breast cancer survivors' risk of developing lymphedema.
Lymphedema is a painful condition that causes a patient's arm to swell. It is a common side effect of cancer treatments such as surgery and radiation.
"I have ladies tell me the lymphedema is much worse than their cancer because the cancer's cured," says Dr. Electra Paskett, an epidemiologist at Ohio State University. Paskett is among those health care professionals who are trying to find the most effective methods of keeping lymphedema at bay.
One of such methods involves elastic sleeves when doing activities that may cause arms to swell.
"The theory is building up muscles in your arm acts as a natural pneumatic pump to move the fluid," explains Paskett, herself a breast cancer survivor who developed lymphedema.
Since lymphedema is caused by an uncontrolled infection, other limbs, such as the legs, can swell as a result of damaged nodes from other cancers. Former presidential candidate John McCain suffered from facial swelling as a result of melanoma treatment.
But, as it affects an estimated 20 percent to 30 percent of patients who have 10 or more under-the-arm nodes examined, called "axillary lymph node dissections," the condition is assumed to be most common among breast cancer survivors
In November, researchers reported findings in the Journal of Clinical Oncology that suggests few such women may be aware that they have the condition.
University of Minnesota researchers analyzed records from the huge Iowa Women's Health study, to cull more than 1,200 patients who'd had breast cancer between 1986 and 2003. Only 8 percent of patients had been diagnosed and another 37 percent of the women suffered persistent lymphedema symptoms, including a swollen arm.
Researchers in the Iowa study found that only 40 percent of the women with swollen arms but no diagnosis had heard of lymphedema and less than 2 percent had sought care for their arm symptoms.
Early treatment of lymphedema is crucial. After 61-year-old Minna Manalo, a nurse practitioner at Georgetown University Hospital's breast cancer unit, was diagnosed with the condition she underwent what's called complete decongestive therapy, where a machine massaged fluid from her arm and it then was tightly bandaged to counter swelling. Once her arm shrank, Holman was prescribed a lifelong therapy: A tight elastic sleeve and fingerless glove to wear regularly, especially during her job as an international flight attendant, plus arm exercises to help push out returning fluid.
"I'm trying to stay ahead of the game," says Holman. "You can't cure this, but you can manage it."

I have read numerous articles regarding this hype in dozens of magazines. I'm skeptical at best. The research is flimsy, performed on lab rats, and suggests that sucralose, aspartame and stevia fool the brain to thinking its getting a sweet fix, and the body's biochemistry will duplicate the chemical reaction of normal sugar. Another theory is that all artificial sweeteners cause the person to crave real sugar carbohydrate and indulge excess calories. This has been shown to lead to pre diabetes , but then again, hasn't diabetes has been rearing its ugly head even before the advent of artificial sweeteners? So why blame the diet soda industry!.
My thoughts. Most if not all personal trainers consume protein drinks, energy drinks and protein bars on a daily basis, yet most are quite fit. I recently perused several of the local nutrition store her in San Diego , looking for an protein powder that was free of artificial sweeteners. I would have to estimate 95% of the products have artificial sweeteners. Likewise when I searched for protein bars .
So the question I have for those who believe that diet soda makes you fatter is, why isn't there an army of obese personal fitness trainers ? Yes, majority of us train/ workout on a regular basis, but our consumption of artificially sweetened products in much high than the average person.
My personal theory isn't that people allow themselves to binge on crappy foods, assuming that they can balance out the bad calories with a zero calorie soda. Rather naive thinking in my opinion.I would like to hear others opinions please.

First look inside new Cockermouth hospital
Last updated at 13:47, Friday, 24 January 2014
This is the first exclusive look inside Cockermouth's new £11 million hospital.
The two-level hospital is due to open its doors to the public for the first time next week.
It replaces the existing cottage hospital which is more than 100 years old.
Staff are due to move in on Monday and inpatients transferred on Wednesday.
The ground level entrance, on Isel Road, has four self check-in areas, a receptionist area and two areas for confidential conversations.
Around the reception site are colour-coded waiting areas for Castlegate and Derwent House surgeries, which between them serve 16,000 people.
The surgeries are designed around a nursing hub in the centre of the building.
An 11-bed inpatient ward, with en-suite facilities, and NHS dentist services are on the lower level.
There is also a minor injuries unit, X-ray facilities and two education rooms.
Community services, including district nurses, midwives and health visitors, will be based at the hospital and it will host health clinics such as physiotherapy and podiatry.
There is also a dining area and garden.
Tracey Porter, integrated matron, said: "We are all excited about moving in here but there is a little bit of sadness that we are leaving the old cottage hospital.
"It was an old building but now we have a lovely environment for the patients."
The hospital also houses Castlegate Pharmacy, which will be open from 7am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 8pm on Sunday.
Fiona Tibbitts, pharmacy practice manager, said: "It is great having everything on one site and there is now a great opportunity to develop health care services for the people of Cockermouth and area."
The hospital suffered a delay in opening after it was the subject of a legal battle when town chemist JWW Allison claimed that a contract to run the new pharmacy was awarded without a proper tender process.
Shareholders in Trinity Pharma, which trades as Castlegate Pharmacy, are GPs from the town surgeries.
JWW Allison called for a judicial review, and an injunction was put in place to prevent a pharmacy from opening at the hospital, but the pharmacy's legal bid was rejected by the High Court.
The hospital will be officially opened in the summer.

Have your say
The new hospital looks great, hopefully it will function as well as it looks. Shame about Allison's chemist though, we always had a good service provided by them.

Hidden Hawaii: The Real Island Paradise
Don't kid yourself. Hawaii is popular, developed and touristy. There are Wal-Marts and stoplights and hundreds of places to purchase surfboard key chains and red dirt t-shirts.
But what about those lusty trade winds and water the color of your turquoise ring? What about palm trees that dance at sunset and sailing across miles of water that makes you weep just to look at it? What about the real Hawaii? You know, the one with native dancers and hidden biking trails and sea turtles that kiss you on the shoulder?
It's all there and this postcard banquet of bliss is not as hard to find — or as pricey -- as you might think. With a little luck and investigation, it's easy to discover the hidden side of Hawaii and rack up a list of adventures that rate more than high on your "Oh, My Gawd!" list.
From the edge of this bay to the tip of infamous Sunset Beach, there are miles of quiet highway, numerous deserted beaches and small ocean side villages where you can rub elbows with local residents, eat a fresh fish sandwich for $5 and get a sense for why this state is called paradise. On Kauai, we found the secluded, private waterfall that everyone in the world dreams about. Saddling up a couple of ponies at Princeville Ranch Stables, we headed out onto a private ranch.
Ninety minutes later we were straddling long chains that dropped us past the beginning of a waterfall at the edge of a cliff. Then we followed a rope trail down a steep slope where we were rewarded with one of those cascading waterfalls and aqua blue pools you always see in movies.We swam, ate lunch, pinched ourselves to make certain we weren't dreaming, then hauled our happy selves past ferns and flowers and the majestic Hanalei Mountains on the ride back to the stables.
Things were just as unbelievable when we spent an entire day with Kauai Adventure Trek on a biking and hiking adventure that began at an abandoned sugar cane road that passed through the center of the 22,000 acre Grove Farm Plantation. The only way to see this privately-owned farm and its miles of coffee, papaya, and sugar cane fields is on one of Trek's private tours and with a local guide who knows the history of the area like the back of his hand.
Next, we pedaled to an abandoned sugar cane processing plant and poked through rusty machinery where we learned how Hawaii's first sugar mill got started, thrived, and was shut down just four years ago.
A farm experience like no other
We stayed at Mama's Fish House in Paia, a small seaside town away from all those condos. A handful of rentals, a secluded beach, the best food we have ever eaten in our lives and a birds-eye view of the world-famous windsurfing waters at Ho'okipa nearly kept us frozen at our lodging base for seven days.
Yes, we did the Hana Coast drive, but unlike 99.9 percent of this island's visitors, we didn't stop and turn around when we got to Hana. We drove all the way home on a one-lane highway that offered spectacular views of cliffs and ocean. We found little roadside stands, stopped at waterfalls and discovered an entire island hiding along deserted roads.
A daylong catamaran trip with Trilogy took us to Lanai -- the island getaway of the rich and famous. Forget the $15,000 a week the movie stars spend on this island. We came for the great beach and for the tour of the island by our native guide who shared his life story, the story of his now pineapple-less home and how he manages to survive. It was a fabulous look at the real side of Hawaii that gave us a 12-mile ride across the ocean, secluded swimming, great food, views and a sense that not everything in Hawaii has to change.
And OK, we also went to a luau at one of the big fancy resorts and had the time of our lives. There was the brilliant sunset, the world champion fire dancer, enough food to sink a whaling ship, Mai Tai's, shell necklaces and the history of the hula right before our eyes. Of course, we bought the photo of all of us standing by the water, the sun at our backs, our tanned skin glowing like poster children for Hawaiian Tropic. How could we not?
After all, we were in Hawaii and it was paradise because we knew just where to look -- in the opposite direction as everyone else.

Nino Bless - Had It Up To Here (Sick Of Pt. 1)
Artist: Nino Bless
Producer: Engineer
Album: Latin Marksman Pt. 2
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 11 votes )
If I were to describe underground rap's current mood in one word, it would be "exasperated;" from Auto-tune to tight pants to dance-themed hits, there are countless topics that seem to leave those below the mainstream radar constantly stressed. Booth favorite Nino Bless has also Had It Up to Here, but his gripes aren't quite the same ones that have so many others steamed—no, scratch that: he has all the same gripes, plus several dozen more, some of which contradict one another. This mixtape leak finds Bless venting his dissatisfaction with everything in the industry (and beyond) over a piano-synth beat by Engineer—as he admits on the back end, he's even sick of himself! Plenty of Bless' barbs hit home, but those who listen closely may detect a satirical edge; while railing against the game, he also seems to be poking fun at himself and other rappers with a tendency to accentuate the negative. Those who like the cut of this Booth favorite's jib should stay tuned for Latin Marksman 2 and Madlib collabo The Nomads, both slated to drop prior to the fall release of Untold Scriptures 2.

Comment: Re:I'm thinking Azure here? (Score 2) 208
Of all the things MS is trying to shoehorn Azure into, Minecraft is actually not a bad one. Minecraft was built from the ground up to be a client/server setup and so it is a logical thing for MS to offer such a service for.
That is IF, the big IF, they don't screw up the client/game. And their track record for that is not good.

Build a great relationship with your executive assistant.
It's only been three months since Nalini hired an executive assistant, and, already, she can't imagine how she coped beforehand.
So far, her assistant has freed up an average of 15 hours a week, and Nalini uses this time to focus on high value tasks such as strategic thinking, project planning, and research. Her productivity has gone up significantly, and her stress levels have gone down. What's more, she can now leave work at a reasonable time and spend more time with her family.
Executive assistants can dramatically improve the capabilities and potential of the professionals that they work with. But, what should you look for in an executive assistant? And, if you're currently working with one, how can you make sure that you're getting the best from the relationship?
In this article, we'll examine how you can work effectively with your executive assistant.

Best advice is never try to understand any woman – just watch her favourite chick flicks and do the same weird things the guy does. She'll love your forever. Oh, and don't EVER expel methane in bed.
Congratulations! Hope you have a wonderful day! The day may feel as if it goes so quickly, so my advice is to really take the time to look around you and notice all the details of the day, try to speak to all your guests, and just relax, and enjoy what hopefully should be the best day of your life!

Logging Out A Character Should Take You To Character Select Screen, Not Exit Game

And let me explain why this is bad (as I did when people complained on Champions Online).
Imagine that you have a little brother/sister/enemy. You leave yourself logged onto your less cool Ensign Mule to play with your inventory and you go to get a coke.
While you are gone, your bro/sis/enemy goes over to your computer and casually logs you out: if this leaves them in the character select screen, then can go amok and delete EVERY one of your characters. Even Captain Big Time Super Cruiser and His Amazing Phaser Mark VVVs.
If however, logging out takes you to a login page, they must know your password to do any damage.
That, my friends, is why the login should NOT be changed. It's annoying enough that it automatically fills in your password at time when you log out.
They could, of course, just have passwords needed when characters are deleted. That would work.

HELP - will my cell phone work in Australia?
HELP - will my ATM card work in New Zealand?
HELP - what clothes should I take?
HELP - should I take travel insurance?
HELP - Do you have restaurant recommendations?
There are many questions we are asked frequently regarding what to do, what to have before and during travel:
Obtaining Currency
All major ATM card will work in Australia, New Zealand and most South Pacific locations. ATM currency conversion rates are generally very competitive but check with your bank for any additional charges to their foriegn exchange fees and overseas banking fees.
Also check with your credit card company regarding their foriegn currency exchange rates and foriegn exchange fees. Some cards waive some of these fees.
There are debit cards availble to be pre-paid in the currency of your choice and pre-set at a limit, these are equivalent to travellers checks.
We recommend having a small amount of cash for arrival, this can be purchased prior to departure.
Using Smart Phone or Cell Phone
Most cell phones (tri-band) and nearly all smart phones will work in Australia, New Zealand and most South Pacific locations. We HIGHLY recommend you speak with your cell carrier and sign up for their international calling/data packages prior to departure. Whilst overseas ensure your "Data Roaming" is switched off, and only switch on when for short period when downloading data and then switch off again. This will minimise excess data usage. If in doubt check your call/data usage on your account to avoid a nasty surprise on your return.
For those with non tri-band cell phones or older cell phones and wish to have a cell phone whilst travelling to stay in contact with family/friends after experimenting over the years we have found the following works well.
New Zealand - Auckland airport buy the cheapest cell plus a NZ$30 pre-pray package and a SIM card for NZ. International calls are reasonably inexpensive ($2 for 60 minutes to a US landline BUT local calls are costly $0.84 per minute). Calls to US cells are expensive as well as anything with data transmission.
Australia - Sydney airport, same phone buy Australian SIM card and a $30 prepay package. Int'l calls are $0.24 a minute but local calls are very expensive (around $0.85 per minute).
Above example with Vodafone - rates and packages will vary and Aspire Down Under is not liable for any changes to the above and is intended as a guideline to what is available in Australia and New Zealand.
What Clothes should I take
Australia is a reasonably casual country, which is reflected in the locals' attire. To attend an Opera House performance or dine at a fine restaurant, gentlemen may feel more comfortable in a jacket. To be prepared for any weather, use the layer system. Wear a t-shirt, but carry a fleece and lightweight waterproof jacket in a daypack so you're ready for all conditions. Comfortable walking shoes are a must.
New Zealand is a casual outdoors country, which is reflected in the locals' attire. To be prepared for any weather, use the layer system. Wear a t-shirt, but carry a fleece and lightweight waterproof jacket in a daypack so you're ready for all conditions. Comfortable walking shoes are a must.
Fiji is a casual country, which is reflected in the locals' attire. To visit a village you will need to cover your shoulders and your legs (no tanktops or shorts) as a sign of respect.
Should I purchase travel Insurance
We highly recommend you take travel insurance. Whilst there are many ways to purchase insurance, the overidding factor should be that you have some form of coverage. Recently we have seen travel impacted due to tropic storms, earthquakes, volcanic ash and this before you consider the usual issues you may encounter when you travel such as flight delays, lost baggage and medical issues.
Do you have Restaurant Recommendations?
Please find a selection of recommendations based on our experience and client feedback.
Forty One
An established favorite, fine dining serving high quality Australian produce with an Asian influence with a focus on seafood. Wonderful atmosphere and location
An established favorite, fine dining serving high quality Australian produce with an Asian influence with a focus on seafood. Wonderful atmosphere and location
Located in the heart of Circular Quay, a contemporary Australian menu inspired by a passion for savoring the finest seasonal produce. Set price offered for lunch, pre theater and supper
Million dollar views out to sea and along Bondi Beach and delicious food to match. Book early and if you can't get in, have a drink at the groovy 70s inspired bar instead.
Doyles on the Beach, Watsons Bay
Australia's first seafood restaurant opened in 1885, family owned and operated for over 5 generations. With both indoor and outdoor dining, located right on the foreshore of Watsons Bay overlooking the magnificent panorama of Sydney Harbour.
Routinely voted the best restaurant in Sydney, Australia and possibly Asia Pacific. If you are food lover, this is the temple you must visit but it's very expensive and you will need to book well ahead. Tetsuya's new location now has the site matching the stunning caliber of the food.
Guillaume @ Bennelong, Opera House
How can you beat a beautiful spot that is part of the Sydney's best-known landmark? It looks over the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House as well as Circular Quay where you can watch the ferries come in. Great bar, too, for a drink and/or light meal before or after a performance at the Opera House.
Le Kiosk, Shelly Beach, Manly
Take the ferry over, walk to Shelly Beach for a great seafood lunch at Le Kiosk and ferry back. They also do fantastic fish and chips to take away and eat on the beach if you'd like a less expensive option.
A true "Taste of Australia", drawing upon quality Australian produce and new workings of old Australian favourites. The menu includes flavours drawn from native plants, fruits and berries, matched with quality Australian game meats, seafood and regional produce
Flower Drum
This is the Cantonese fine dining experience where the space, the sense of grace and the impeccable service are all equal to the quality of the food served. Seafood is a speciality, which is not to take anything away from the rest of the menu whose highlights begin with the beef eye fillet and naturally include the Peking duck. This is simply Australia's best Cantonese food
The Botanical
Awarded Two Chef's Hats Age Good Food Guide 2010 Botanical Restaurant, a chic modern bistro in South Yarra, combines a slick bar, an exceptionally well-stocked wine shop and an always-busy split-level dining room.
Pure South
Since Tassie produces so much wonderful food (and more recently, wonderful wine), it makes sense to open a restaurant in Melbourne that celebrates the produce of the Apple Isle. The wine list is incredibly comprehensive in its Tasmanian range and the menu leaps from Bass Strait calamari to Flinders Island beef tartare with all stops in between. The cheeses in particular will delight
Circa, The Prince
Awarded 2 Chefs Hats Age Good Food Guide 2008 - Nestled within the 40-room boutique hotel of The Prince of Wales sits Circa. Not your average hotel restaurant, St Kilda's Circa is cool, glamorous and features an amazing wine list compliments of The Prince hotel and small but innovative menus
An informal yet sophisticated bistro, where innovative Italian food is accompanied by exemplary service. More than 10 years of service has seen Becco develop a winning formula, consistently earning Good Food Guide accolades, along with the good reviews of their loyal customers. The space is smart and timeless with delightfully retro touches such as the '50s-style menu covers featuring painted Italian scenes. The open kitchen provides something of a floor show as the chefs dart from stove to stove
Transit Lounge
In Federation Square has a good jazz band that plays most nights and has an outdoor rooftop area overlooking the city
The Melting Pot
Offers modern French food and an outstanding wine list in an intimate, relaxed atmosphere. Newest chic restaurant in Adelaide and has garnered rave reviews
The Lane
An upscale Australian bistro serving food that compliments the single-vineyard wines in the Adelaide hills. (Ravenswood Land; Hahndorf)
Chianti Classico
An Adelaide institution – Italian based on fresh seasonal SA bounty. It also has the best breakfast in town!" (160 Hutt St)
The Marquis
A brand-new Parisian restaurant that was the winner of the best wine list in Adelaide, 2011 Food Awards. (13 Gouger St; Adelaide)
Cork Wine Bar
This quaint cafe has, "awesome atmosphere and a fantastic wine list." (61a Gouger St; Adelaide)
Press Food & Wine
this sleek spot is "funky, buzzing, and hot." (40 Waymouth St, Adelaide)
Port Douglas
Nautilus Restaurant
Elegant dining based on modern Australian cuisine with a hint of Asian flavors using the finest fresh local produce set in a totally outdoor environment - totally unique and extremely beautiful
Antoine's Restaurant
Open since 1973, Fine dining with relaxed silver service at the top end of trendy Parnell
Located in the heart of Auckland viaduct, a contemporary bar and restaurant, multi award winning menu and wine list since 2004
Wai Restaurant
Waterfront fine dining specializing in seafood and local wines, spectacular views of the lake
Seafood restaurant on the shore of Queenstown Bay, huge selection of north and south island seafood and wine list to match

Duane Sutter leaves Panthers
He's been named the new DPD for the Flames. Shocker. Just saw it on the NHL network ticker.
Too bad. I liked Duane.
What was his position in the Panthers organization??
I'm going to say this is another move that raises eyebrows - Sutter takes the same job with another team, when he wasn't reported to be on the outs with Florida?
Okay, I guess I understand Nieuwendyk wanting to go back to Toronto, but he wasn't happy with the "direction" Florida was taking when he left...now Sutter, who again I can sort of understand wanting to work in Calgary, only the nature of his job is he travels a lot anyway...:shakehead
Something smells here.
Meh. Doesn't speak well for us, but name one young player other than David Booth who has been "developed" up to his potential. I think a few changes like this throughout the organization could be good, provided JM finds a new-blood replacement a la DeBoer.
I think if you look over the Panthers' draft history since Sutter's been director of player development he's not had a lot to work with that isn't already in the NHL, and since the team's not had much of a development program, he had neither the raw material to work with nor the tools.
But, in defense of your position, Sutter wasn't a great coach for us, either.
Anything think that maybe he just wanted to join his brother up there? Not that big of a shock IMO.
or perhaps he just missed Mike?:D
PS-Anybody else surprised that Jack Birch, a Keenan crony, is still on the payroll?
His family lives in Calgary and his two brothers work and run Calgary. Isnt it obvious why he would want to work there, if they offered him a job.
it seems he did an OK job but i think there is room for improvement in this area (as well as scouting).
Campbell? What is he now excactly that can be seen as developing better than expectations?
Kreps? Projected second line center on a team with no first line, or a respectable third line center to battle it out with. (McLean is supposed to play first line wing, if I gather correct from this board)
Huselius? He was great before he came to NHL in SEL. He was very good his first year in NHL and then it all went downhill, until he left. How does that look good in Suter's resume?
Hagman? His development stalled big-time until he was moved to Dallas.
Good riddance. For once I congratulate Martin for a good move.
I'm not crying over his departure at all - but it still makes me wonder if there's some poison pill within the Panthers' organization that is making some people want to leave.
Poison pill - could be...
Looks like Jack Birch is going to be taking over for Duane Sutter:
Also he was in some weird situation, he started as a head coach and he was paid as scout, then signed as head coach, got fired and continued working as scout, getting head coach's salary.

Hot Slut Of The Day!
It is Cinco de Mayo, so today's HSOTD should really be the hungry-ass Arcoiris mascot or the legendary 90s novella Carrusel. But I really need to pay homage to the best Met Gala dress and the only one that really did things to me. (Yes, I'm so hard-up that a soft, pink dick illustration on a damn dress does things to me.)
Just like 90% of the tricks there, FKA Twigs pretty much said, "fuck it," to the theme. If you're going to say, "fuck it," to the theme, then you should at least say "hello" to wearing dick on your dress. Dick makes everything better. FKA Twigs' stunning cockture gown was made by Christopher Kane and if Christopher Kane made a $20 sweatpants version of that dress, I'd buy several pairs and wear it every day. Peen is timeless and truly goes with everything. Although, FKA Twigs' promised piece Robert Pattinson doesn't look amused. I see him making a "Don't ask to see my pink dick too" face.
I usually can't with FKA Twigs' red carpet pose game, because she opens her mouth a little and it makes her look like the Trix Rabbit caught in the headlights. But I didn't really even notice her stunned bunny face, because all of my attention went to that peen on her thigh. Selfies were supposedly banned at the Met Gala and nobody really followed that rule. I wouldn't have either. I'd ask FKA Twigs if I could take a selfie with her and if she said yes, I'd drop to my knees, press my cheek against the pank peen on her thigh and say, "Dick cheese!"

Basement Baby Came Prepared This Time
Almost one year ago, Basement Baby went all "FINISH HER!" on Jay Z in an elevator while leaving a Met Gala after-party. Well, at tonight's Mess Gala, Basement Baby came prepared for war and Jay Z better not try shit.
To you, Basement Baby's fucked-up dress may look like a CD that warped under the sun on a car's dashboard. But to me, it looks like a shield of protection. If Jay Z tried to bring some Hunger Games shit on Basement Baby by shooting an arrow at her, that arrow would bounce right off of her dress. If Jay Z brought out his nunchucks and tried to take down Basement Baby, that shit would break right off as soon as he hit her dress. If Jay Z tried to punch Basement Baby in the chest, his knuckles would break on the crap she's wearing.
Basement Baby is wearing a damn shield. If Jay Z tried any kind of shady shit, she could scream, "Everyone, get behind me," before kicking at him. You can tell that Jay Z is scared too. Here he is at the Met Gala with Beyonce and you can definitely tell that he's thinking to himself, "FUCK! Bitch wore a shield! So much for that taser I've got in my pocket."
As for Beyonce's dress… She looks like she dipped herself in Elmer's glue and rolled around in some Fruity Pebbles and a bunch of broken Jolly Ranchers. Tomorrow, I better see some pictures of being Beyonce dragged out of the Met Gala by the FBI. Beyonce has gone too far with her acts of thievery this time. Beyonce committed felony theft tonight by stealing the look that international supermodel Phoebe Price wore to Elton John's Oscar Party almost three whole months ago. Beyonce should be charged with blatantly thieving from Chicken Cutlets and for thinking that she could actually work it better. Somebody please CITIZEN'S ARREST her!

And Suddenly, I Have A Real Craving For Cheesy Scrambled Eggs
"THIS BITCH!" said the coat check person when RiRi threw this 500-pound "Boboli slathered in nacho cheese" coat at them.
RiRi rolled up to the
Met Gala Meth Gala tonight in a U-Haul, because it was the only rented vehicle in the NYC area that was big enough to hold the heavy ass cheese pizza she called a coat. Apparently, they had to shut down the red carpet when RiRi came through, because her "bigger than the sun" coat would have knocked a few bitches out as she strolled on up.
The thing about RiRi's coat is that it can be many things. If I was there and stoned (which I'd have to be if I was there), I would've nibbled on that coat, because it looks like a pupusa covered in cheese. If Kim Kuntrashian was on the carpet at the same as RiRi, she would've rolled all up in that coat, because it looks like a giant puddle of piss. It's like the aftermath of the golden shower of all golden showers. That's some full bladder shit. If Vanessa Paradis was there, she'd stare at it lovingly, because she'd remember all the times she jacked Johnny Depp off and ended up with a giant glob of dick cheese on her hand.
No, I don't like that RiRi stole Coco Peru's wig. But I do appreciate the fact that her eyebrows are shaped like baseballs bats and her coat thing kind of looks like a condom.

About six seconds after the red carpet for the
Met Gala MESS Gala opened up, Sarah Jessica Parker galloped on through looking like a cultural appropriation demon, because she wanted to let everyone know to prepare to be uh-fucking-fended.
If you're looking at that wreck and thinking to yourself, "Is the theme 'Flames, Flames, FLAMES, On The Side Of My Face," you're wrong. I wish you were right, but you're wrong. The theme is China: Through The Looking Glass. Bitch got the "China" part right and she got the "Through The Looking Glass" part right too, because she definitely looked right through the looking glass instead of at it.
I first saw SJP's terrifying Heat Miser as a Final Fantasy villain headdress thing in a video on Vogue's Twitter and I'm not going to embed it here, because I care about you too much ("Says the evil whore who is always posting about the Kuntrashians" – you) and it's the reason why I will sleep with a crucifix in my hands tonight. That video is like a scene from Dragon Ball Z: The Horror Movie.
SJP looks like the movie Big Trouble In Little China got creampied in the ass by an Oriental Trading Company catalog before wet farting on her.
You know, this is a mess, but at least SJP tried. 90% of the hos I've seen so far look like they said "fuck you" to the theme and got their outfits from Rent-A-Prom-Dress.com

Open Post: Hosted By St. Angie Jolie Buying Ice Cream
I'm sure that Coleman cooler has been declared a holy artifact, was gilded and is making its way to Italy where it will be displayed at a museum in the Vatican. Or that ice cream vendor has retired from the ice cream vendor game after selling it for a load of cash to a Brangeloonie who sold their house, internal organs, cars and family to buy it.
While looking like Morticia Addams on holiday, Dame St. Angie Jolie bought ice cream at a soccer game for her three kids: Zahara, Shiloh and Brad Pitt. St. Angie and Brad, who looks like he's in hipster dad cosplay, once again graced the field at Griffith Park in L.A. with their ethereal presence for their kids' soccer game over the weekend. The soccer game lasted about 25 seconds and Zahara and Shiloh's team won by default, because as soon as St. Angie and Brad Pitt had a seat in the stands, every parent and child turned around to face them, got on their knees and worshiped their holiness. It happens every time.
And you know, it's been a while since I've seen St. Angie's bulging forehead vein of doom and I've been missing it. But it looks like it has slithered down south to her arms for the winter and is now living in a bulging vein commune with other bulging veins. I can call off the search!
Ireland Baldwin Is Done With Rehab, Blonde Hair
People says that almost three weeks after she shuffled off to a treatment center in Malibu for "emotional trauma" and definitely not drugs, 19-year-old Ireland Baldwin has checked out of rehab. She has also dyed her hair brown. I know, I really buried the lede there. A "source" tells People that Ireland checked herself out, but will still participate in outpatient treatment. I have no idea what outpatient treatment for emotional trauma is, but I'm assuming it involves someone coming to your house every other day with a pint of ice cream and a VHS tape of To Wong Foo.
People doesn't say whether Ireland is all better or not or if rehab fixed her problems, but Radar seems to think she wasn't really that interested in rehab to begin with. A "source" from inside Ireland's rehab center claims that shortly before she checked out, she was telling people that she just wasn't "feeling it anymore" and that she needed to "get back to her life." They also say she spent most of her final week in rehab on her phone and taking selfies. She also might not have made many rehab friends; the same source claims the other patients felt like she was getting special treatment.
Wait, hold on – go back to that part about needing to leave rehab to get back to her life. Get back to what life exactly? Taking selfies, staring at her phone, and hanging out with her friends? At least if she stayed in rehab, she could do all those things PLUS have access to a pool. Fancy rich people rehabs always have a sweet pool.
Here's Ireland hanging out with a friend in Malibu on Friday.

Fist Brown Might Have Struck Again For The 5,671st Time
Remember when I said that being a father to a human child could make Chris Brown retire his punching fist and convince him to stop being an itchy, oozing wart inside of humanity's urethra? Well, I may have wasted precious keystrokes on that sentence, because Fist Brown is apparently terrorizing the world again.
TMZ says that at around 3:42 this morning, the Difficult Brown was playing a pick-up game of basketball at his suite in the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. (I know that there's a basketball court in one of the suites at the Palms, because humanized wax lion figurine Adrienne Maloof, who is part owner, took the other Housewives there during an episode of The Real Housemesses of Beverly Hills.) At some point during the game, Chris got into a fight of words with one of the other guys, and I guess he was jealous of Mayweather and Pacquiao getting to have all the punching fun this weekend, because he allegedly fisted the other dude in the face. The guy who Chris allegedly punched hasn't been named, but does anyone know if the shirtless basketball hoop dude from Seattle somehow made his way to Las Vegas?
The cops showed up, but Chris refused to talk to them. The Las Vegas PD tells TMZ that Fist Brown can either sign a citation for misdemeanor battery and show his face at a hearing in court or he can wait until the D.A.'s office decides to press charges against him or not. The good news for Chris is that this isn't a violation of his probation, because he's not on probation anymore.
Chris Brown's rep has already spit aat this story. His rep tells Gossip Cop that Chris never hit anyone.
"[Chris Brown] has a suite at the hotel that has a basketball court and invited friends to come play. An unruly individual showed up uninvited and was removed from the premises. Chris was not in an altercation with this person."
I think what his rep wanted to say is, "This story is obviously a huge, shitty lie. I mean, the trick accusing Chris Brown of punching him is a guy. Would Chris Brown really hit a guy? Think about it!"
