When it came time for Jennifer Lopez to say "Lopez out" from "American Idol" the superstar said she trusted her "gut."
"My gut was telling me that it was time to go and get back to the things that I do… I'm a performer, I'm a actress, I'm an entrepreneur, those are the things that I do and to sit and judge for two years was an amazing experience for me, but that's not what I do. So, it was time to move on," Jennifer told Access Hollywood backstage at her concert with Enrique Iglesias this weekend at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
"As painful as it was, because I really fell in love with everybody on the show, I really did… everybody behind the scenes to the guys, Steven and Randy and Ryan… everybody was so great to me, but it's time to move on. Sometimes, you know, you have to do it," she continued.
Reports of Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus as possible judges have surfaced since she and Steven Tyler announced their exit — and even Aretha Franklin threw her hat into the ring as replacement — and J.Lo weighed in on the Queen of Soul possibly joining the panel.
"She's amazing…it's such a delicate thing to find chemistry for that panel. That was another thing that made me think about it. It's like once Steven kind of walked away as well, I was just like, 'Ugh, it's just all gonna be different,'" she told Access. "They're gonna have their work cut out for them. I think just to find that balance again and that magic that happens when the people sit there."
But finding the right balance for the panel on the FOX series that she loved working on is not making Jennifer second guess her decision to exit.
"I had only signed on to do one year in the beginning, so doing it for two years turned out to be a surprise and then contemplating a third year I was like, 'This wasn't the plan,' and I just like to go with my gut. You gotta go with your first instinct!" she explained.
Jennifer turns 43 on Tuesday and she'll be back performing with Enrique on Wednesday in Boston, but first she'll get a well-deserved break from her tour.
"For my birthday… I would like to rest a little bit. I don't want to do anything…I don't want a big thing, I just want to relax," she added.

"Great vacation! Great property!"
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay on our first trip to Chincoteague. The Spinnaker Waterfront Vacation Home is nicely situated right on a small waterway that opens into the larger Assateague Canal with a beautiful Eastern view of the water. The house is absolutely beautiful and extremely comfortable. Keyless entry (you set your own passcode) made accessing the property a breeze with no hassle keeping count of keys, etc. And if you forget linens, check out the Dollar Stores all over the place--they're like a mini-Walmart.
With a screened porch that lets you enjoy the outdoors without the bugs to a nice sunroom, you can enjoy your coffee in the mornings with lots of light and sense of openess. The really nice finishing touch to the place was the welcome gifts of wine, local gourmet candy, and a gift card to the Island Creamery. All you need to add is the main course! We highly recommend the Spinnaker!

"Magical Week at Chincoteague home"
If you love wildlife and want to see them in their natural habitat, then Chincoteague Island is the place for you. We have had two wonderful stays there at Spinnaker House, the well-loved home of Pat and Harmon who share their warmth and comfortable "home away from home" with anyone wanting a magical time at Chincoteague. Spinnaker has five bedrooms and four bathrooms and a beautiful living room complete with fireplace overlooking one of the canals. We enjoyed a week of family reunion as well as individual quiet. Our days were spent at the refuge and in the evenings and mornings, we shared dinners and breakfasts at Spinnaker. The home is comfortable and homey, making it easy to relax and enjoy each other. The canal on one side and marsh on the other are home to water birds including great blue herons, mergansers, mallards, egrets and many more. And of course, there is the magic of the Chincoteague Wildlife refuge only minutes away. Spinnaker is the perfect place to stay, but book it before your wished-for vacation week is taken!!

"Wonderful and peaceful retreat"
We stayed at the Spinnaker to celebrate our birthday/anniversary. We were not disappointed. The house is a quaint and peaceful getaway. The views are absolutely gorgeous and it was difficult to pack up and leave. The owner, Pat is so easy to work with and has thought of everything! Every time we thought we forgot something we looked and there it was. They did a great job of anticipating everything you might need. Although our timing did not allow us the opportunity to take advantage of all the island has to offer - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Spinnaker and plan to return. We did take advantage of the crab traps (totally new experience for me). We were able to catch a few crabs and really enjoyed them. If you'd rather not cook, the restaurants on the island are fabulous- best seafood we ever had. Your stay at the Spinnaker will not disappoint!

"Better than advertised!"
Looked forward to a nice place for a vacation...and found the Spinnaker and it is WAY better than advertised! The pictures looked nice, and when you get there, it is much better. Plenty of room for the seven of us...to hang together or to get some alone time. Everything we needed was available at the house...actually found some things that we weren't expecting (like the grill accessories) and the quietness since there were no neighbors around...guess they went home for the summer...bad for them, really good for us! Beautiful weather the whole week!

"This home was perfect for my family."
We were at the "spinnaker" (the nickname for the home) for pony week, 2014. The location was great, quiet with a good view of the water. We sat in the screened in porch at night and shared what our favorite thing we did that day was with the other family members. My grandson loved setting the crab traps (he was a catch and release kind of person). We grilled on the back deck which is large enough to fit my whole family. The kitchen was so well stocked we did not have to run the dishwasher before it was really full. There was no need to bring anything from home. We used every bed in the house so I can tell you that there are good mattresses and pillows here. The family room was big and we loved the bay window seating. My older teenagers made good use of the WiFi. My favorite part of the house was the dining area, with windows on three sides. I sat there, in the quiet of the early morning and watched a family of geese cross the road. My second favorite spot was the whirlpool tub. With all of us taking showers, including the outside shower, we never ran out of hot water. The house was well kept, clean and family friendly. And last, I must tell you that Pat, the owner, provided so much information in response to my questions that we did not miss out on anything the islands had to offer. She felt like an old friend.

"Amazing Vacation Getaway"
My husband and I along with our 3 young adult sons enjoyed an amazing vacation getaway this past week at Spinnaker. The home is so beautiful and the views from everywhere are breathtaking. We often had our morning coffee and breakfast on the lovely screened-in porch or sometimes the two of us stole away on the private balcony off of the master bedroom. We brought some lawn games along on the trip and had fun playing croquet, bocce, and ladder ball. We also rented two double kayaks for the week from Southeast Expeditions and the cost included drop off and pick up right at Spinnaker! Another day we rented a boat from East Side Rentals & Marina and enjoyed fishing, swimming, and the beautiful wild life all around. We brought our bikes along and enjoyed riding in the neighborhood as well as at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. We had great weather and enjoyed the beautiful beaches of the Assateague Island National Seashore. We loved grilling at the house each night, enjoying the beautiful deck and views -- our one night out included dinner at Bill's...delicious....and we were happy we made reservations! Another night out included amazing ice cream at the Island Creamery. Pat was so kind and helpful and had Mrs. B on hand to help if we needed anything while on the island. We would highly recommend this beautiful vacation retreat. Thanks for everything, Pat, and especially for making your home so welcoming!

Our family had a wonderful, relaxing stay in the most comfortable home well equipped with everything you would need to make your stay complete. Crabbing and kayaking from the back deck was beyond our expectations. Would revisit again next year.

"Wonderful Experience at the Spinnaker!"
My family and I had a wonderful vacation staying at the Spinnaker! We stayed from June 29 to July 6. The house was perfect for our group of two families which included our kids ranging from age 1 up to 18 years old. The layout of the house is incredible and allows everyone to have their own space if they want or all hang out together. I can be very OCD about cleanliness and I can say I felt extremely comfortable in this house. It was clean and well kept. We fished a little bit off the dock but didn't catch anything. We did get to eat crabs we caught off the dock. That was a neat experience, especially since none of us had ever done it before. One of our favorite things was renting 2 kayaks for a day and kayaking in the canal. We also enjoyed spending our evenings and nights on the screened in porch. It was really peaceful sitting outside so close to the water. The Hutchings are an amazing couple to rent from... very easy to contact through the entire process and genuinely concerned with my family and me enjoying our stay. It was our first time visiting Chincoteague; therefore, all of Pat's recommendations and information about the area was greatly appreciated! We also received our deposit back extremely fast and without any problems. We wouldn't hesitate to rent the Spinnaker again if we have the opportunity! Thank you for such an extraoridinary experience!!!

"Spinnaker House is fabulous!"
Our weekend at the Spinnaker house was great! We had a phenomenal time. Thanks to the Hutchings for letting us sample a little piece of their heaven in Chincoteague. The house was clean and bright in a location that was beautiful and quiet. Definitely looking forward to my next visit, the area's kayaking, hiking and dining were fabulous.

"Fantastic Vacation Value"
Recently spent a four day mini getaway at Spinnaker and could not have expected a more delightful experience. Everything about Spinnaker was exactly as advertised: very comfortable accommodations for all of us (seven adults); very clean and well-appointed; everything clearly labeled and nothing wanting; ideal waterfront setting with great vistas and easy access to everything (crabbing from the bulkhead / a short jaunt to the national seashore for beach time or surf fishing / ample fishing charters and wildlife cruises / several delightful dining spots for fresh local seafood / or just relaxing on Spinnaker's waterfront deck with a good read).
At a little more than $100 per night per couple, you would be hard-pressed to find a better value. And dealing with the owner, Pat Hutchings, proved an enjoyable, pain-free experience. We're already discussing a return trip to Spinnaker!

"Peaceful relaxation"
Kicked off our Summer with a Memorial Day weekend retreat to this well-appointed home. After a long day in the car, immediately felt right at home, and that was before we discovered our personal welcome package waiting in the dining room!
This home was exactly as advertised, and every detail/question/concern was addressed from the time of reservation until the end of our stay.
The weather was a little cool, as it has been all Spring this year, so the beach was a little less inviting...but no matter...our family had a beautiful deck with a private dock to hang out on! Our kids enjoyed netting baby jellies, shrimp, and any other critters they could find right from the dock...an unexpected surprise.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Spinnaker and will definitely be back...there was immediate talk of making this an annual ritual!
Thanks Pat!!

"weekend of fun"
This was really a wonderful, perfectly located, serene house. Upon check in, there was several goodies left for our stay which was unexpected but appreciated. Each room was decorated with beach and Chincoteague art. Really beautiful. The space was perfect for large families or intimate get aways. We enjoyed crabbing on the dock and the spectacular views. The pictures don't do it justice. So many nooks and crannies to sit and enjoy the amazing scenery. We are definitely booking again. Thank you Pat for sharing your lovely home.

"Excellent choice!"
My family and I just returned from a stay at the Spinnaker, just yesterday. We all had such an incredible time! The house is in a great location. It has such character, with all the comforts of home. Clean, tidy and organized. The things you hope for when renting a home. Within the home is a large fireplace which we used every night. Nine of us total, and plenty of room. Modern amenities, comfortable spaces, a view that you will find yourself gazing. I will recommend this house to anyone. Thanks Pat!

"Perfect Family Thanksgiving on Chincoteague Island Va!"
My husband and I had several romantic days to enjoy Spinnaker Waterfront ourselves before our family arrived for a our traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
The fireplace was great and the views were spectacular. We enjoyed walking at biking the beautiful natural beach and trails on assateague Island and seeing the famous wild Chincoteague Ponies up close was a real treat.
Even if you're not a Twitcher, the birding over Thanksgiving was fabulous -- this week is the popular WaterFowl Week and the snow geese were in as well as osprey and herons and so many other birds that I can't remember.
The house had everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving feast, and seated our family comfortably in the dining room. We even enjoyed our morning coffee on the relaxing screened porch most mornings, except one morning we decided to catch the sunrise over assateague from the private balcony on the loft and it was worth getting up early for it!
The great room was the place we kept migrating to -- it had 3 really comfy chars and two large sofas, plus great water views in several directions and even a real porthole. The fireplace (thank you for the firewood -- that was a very nice touch) made it even nicer to sit around and reminisce.
The house was clean and well cared for with many extra things that were not expected in a rental, but were greatly appreciated.
Pat was great to deal with, made reserving a breeze, and answered all our questions and offered great tips which made our trip even more enjoyable.
The house was perfect for our whole family and the grand children enjoyed crabbing from the private dock so much that they voted to come back next year. This house is really perfect for all seasons--it will be difficult to choose! We will plan to do some kayaking the next time we visit.
We'll be back!

"Home like you might see in "House Beautiful Magazine""
My husband and I rented the Spinnaker to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We could not have been happier. The home was lovely with spectacular water views from the many windows and decks. We were initially concerned that the home would be too big for the two of us; however, we felt that the layout accommodated two people extremely well. The lower deck was amazing for relaxing in the adirondack chairs and a romantic candlelight waterfront dinner under beautiful evening stars. The master suite bathroom with a shower for two and romantic two person jacuzzi was luxurious--just like in your own private resort. The hardest decision was where to enjoy our morning coffee--from the balcony watching the sunrise over assateague or the screened in porch. Usually the sun deck won out. Spinnaker is very well located in a quiet private community surrounded by lots of pine trees and a short ride to the beach, restaurants, shops and a delicious homemade ice cream parlor. The owners were a delight to deal with and provided lots of information on local activities. This home is perfect for a romantic getaway--as the saying goes, "Virginia is for Lovers." We hope to come back next time with our canoe!

"Perfect for four couples"
Four couples, life long friends, wanted to share a get-away rental while we were in town. We found "Spinnaker" on line and were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness, size and location.
The owners website: www.ponyisland.com had a wonderful description and lots of good pictures of the home. Each couple had their own bedroom with comfortable beds and bath with plenty of privacy. The water views were outstanding from most areas of the house. There were numerous places to sit, relax and visit while watching the waterways and the most difficult decision was where to have our next meal or cocktail hour. The dining room and large screened in porch are divided by a well supplied kitchen with pass thrus that make setting and cleaning up easy. We were fortunate to have "fall moon" add to our atmosphere. The owners were so concerned with our comfort and ease in renting this property.

"Wonderful fall stay at Spinnaker"
We recently returned from a wonderful one week stay at Spinnaker. The home had everything we could possibly need: a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of space to stretch out, and an equally enjoyable outside area to sit and watch the wildlife. The location was great. It sets on a very quiet canal but only a short distance from the bay so the views were incredible from both inside and outside. The website they have with updated pictures provided an accurate portrayal of what to expect: a clean comfortable, well maintained home. We especially liked the screened porch. Mosquitoes can be a major issue on Chincoteague, even in late September, and the porch allowed us to enjoy our morning coffee as well as dinner and wine without any insects. Bicycles are a must on the island. The locked storage area was perfect to store our bikes when we weren't using them. The private dock on the canal made it easy to get our kayak in and out of the water. It was obvious that the Hutchings wanted our stay to be one to remember - and it was. Thank you.

"I wish I lived there."
I rented Spinnaker for two weeks in the beginning of august for my family reunion of eight. I highly recommend staying there. The house was very comfortable with two new bathroom additions and a beautiful
new deck on the waters edge. My family and I enjoyed relaxing on the porch, swimming in the canal and just soaking up the peace and quiet. I was impressed by how friendly the locals were even though it was the end of summer and you would think they would have tired of tourist. I also highly recommend Gary Howard's seafood shop, it's a ten minute walk from Spinnaker and has excellent seafood.For kyaking and a boat tour assateague Explorer was great. The owners of Spinnaker go out of their way to make sure your stay is wonderful, and so does Mrs.B the housekeeper. The only negative would be vacations go by too fast.

"Perfect Place to Stay in Chincoteague area"
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Spinnaker House. The location was ideal - near the end of a channel into Oyster Bay. In the fall, it was quiet and secluded - exactly what we were looking for. The views were wonderful, especially of the sunrise. Crabbing off the dock was fun. The porch was one of my favorite sitting spots during warm afternoons. We just love having our own space and feeling almost like a local ourselves. We were only a few minutes from town.
I'd love to see the decor updated, and spots inside, not as noticable as obvious things, spruced up a little. Online reservations and confirmations were not as user friendly as they could be, but we were treated to some supplies in exchange for some problems with the "red tape."

"Perfect Beach Vacation Getaway"
The Hutchings understand what makes a beach vacation special--the easy, breezy, salty, sunny comfort of it all--and Spinnaker makes it easy. A beautiful, spacious, light-filled home, thoughtfully appointed and maintained. If you need it, you'll find it on hand at Spinnaker--from crab traps to boogie boards to a perfect margarita blender. Breakfast in the sunny kitchen, spend the day in the sun and surf of assateague, then head back to enjoy a cocktail and sunset as you look out over the water from the deck. Thoughtful owners who do all they can so you can just enjoy your vacation. Is this our 6th season with them?

"The best rental on Chincoteague Island"
We stayed at the Spinnaker Waterfront Vacation Home in Chincoteague, Va from June 11th trough June 18th - me, my wife, my mother, brother and my three great nephews. We were only an hour and fifteen minutes away from home but being in this home on the island was like being in another world. We were comfortable the place is spacious and the views from the windows decks and porch are amazing.
There's a dock out front where we went swimming, rafting, fishing and crabbing from and with my three nephews, who are always looking for something to do, they had no problem with exploring the waters edge netting little shrimp and other critters. Now of course they want to go back! We caught a half bushel of crabs and some oysters the first day we stayed and cooked up an absolute seafood feast in the fully equipped kitchen. So I would say if you want a best location on Chincoteague Island, the Spinnaker Waterfront Home is by far the best.

"Six Ladies From the Midwest"
We all enjoyed our time at Spinnaker House. Every thing we needed was provided.The house was clean and comfortable. The house is just a short bike ride or drive to town. The beach is a few minutes from town; which we all took advantage of each day. Loved seeing the wild ponies, sunning, swimming in the ocean, eating fresh local sea food and great ice cream. Spinnaker House is a great place for families and groups of friends to kick back and relax.

"Nice living room and water views"
We stayed at Spinnaker with extended family in May and were fairly comfortable. There was myself, my nearly 2 yr old, my sister and her husband, and our Dad. Thank goodness my husband couldn't come because there would have been no where to put him! There's one master bedroom, and the 2 others are tiny (like room for the bed only). I had trouble getting dressed in my room because of the lack of space. The loft was OK, but up a steep spiral staircase so if you like midnight bathroom runs it isn't for you. The living room was large and comfortable, with nice views. The kitchen is a galley kitchen, so only room for max 2 people- mealtime was a bit hectic and crammed. I would recommend this house for people with older children who will be spending most of their time at the beach. I spent alot of time chasing our son up or down the stairs. Also, it was a bit dusty but the bathrooms and kitchen were very clean. The location is good, close to the town. Bring bug repellent if you come, lots of mosquitoes in Chincoteague!

Response from the owner, Pat Hutchings- owner of Spinnaker Waterfront Home - 06/20/2011
Because vacations are so special and too few over a lifetime, to help prospective guests with the selection process for choosing a suitable rental, we provide a youtube video, Calendar of Events, and map in addition to lots of photos and information. Our ponyisland.com site has a great floor plan where one can click for additional photos or video tour of each room or deck. And we're always glad to answer any questions.
Sometimes guests are so excited about the house that they overlook details important for their enjoyment. Staying in a 4-level home with a 2 year old might be more enjoyable with a baby gate. Guests enjoy the additional privacy provided by having the 4 small bedrooms spread over 3 levels, but only 3 of them are adjacent to our full bathrooms, so choosing a bedroom with private deck overlook Assateaugue Island in the distance might not be be best choice if you want to be next to a bathroom.
We advertise our galley kitchen with pass throughs to both the dining room and the screened-in porch. If we had a spiral staircase, we would have provided a photo of it. (it's carpeted with a few of the top steps angled). To emphasize that our bedrooms are small, we even refer to them as 'staterooms' as on a ship. We have someone who lives on the island who is on call should guests need anything.
The comment that she 'did not know where she would have put her husband had he come' is puzzling. Spinnaker's great room has 3 easy chairs and 2 sofa's, and the dining room has 4 captains and 4 mates chairs (and 2 ladderbacks that can be brought in) so there was plenty of seating and the 4 bedrooms sleep 9 (not counting the sleep sofa in the great room) and there were only 4 adults and a child. There's a King in the master bedroom, a queen and a twin on the loft, a queen in one stateroom and two twins in the other.

"The most amazing water views"
We had an amazing time at our stay in the Spinaker. The house is so beautful with views from all angles. The set up of the rooms was perfect for our family. The kids really enjoyed sleeping in the loft with their own private porch and we enjoyed our room on the floor below with its' private porch. We biked daily to asseteague, kayaked and spent time listening to wildlife on the porches from the spinaker. My daughter (7) cried when we had to leave. She asked can we please come back to this house. My anwer?? Absolutely!!

"Lovely family vacation!"
We had a great time at the Spinnaker. We were delighted by the flowers and welcome note upon our arrival and we felt at home immediately. The house has a most pleasant atmosphere. We loved the marshlands (rented bicycles a couple of times), went for a tour through the bay in a rented boat all the way upto the house and enjoyed our daily swim in the Ocean (at the Assateague National Park). We had not realised that we could not swim close to the house, which we would have liked, but for the rest we loved our stay at Chincoteague.
"Cozy and Peaceful"
It was so great, like a home away from home. There were crab traps outside on the dock, we loved catching them! I wish it was closer to the beach, but Chincoteague is very small and quaint and the drive to the beach wasn't too bad. If you are looking for a beautiful & relaxing family trip, this would be a great place to stay. It's a pretty big house, I'd say the more the merrier! Dishes, cocktail cups, blender, etc already there, would be great for a group of people but was also awesome for just my husband and I, relaxing in different parts of the house. We plan on returning hopefully sometime soon!

"Our Annual Stay at Spinnaker"
My family stays at Spinnaker every May--we celebrate my husband's birthday! This year, as every other year, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it seems it is never long enough! I would highly recommend this rental--especially if you want plenty of space for your guests to be comfortable even on a rainy, stay-inside day (even those days at Spinnaker in Chincoteague are wonderful!) We have three teenage/young adult children (college students)--this is the only vacation location where everyone is happy and agrees that it is the best.

"very cute place"
We took our young daughters here for a long weekend in the off season (early March). We had a freak snowstorm during our stay, but with a wood-burning fireplace at the rental house and plenty of seasoned wood on-site, the weather only added to the experience. The house is very cute -- right on the water in a quiet neighborhood... it has a lovely, bright dining room with windows on three sides, a screened-in porch overlooking the water, and cozy bedrooms scattered on three levels. The owners were responsive and helpful during our visit. We appreciated the wireless internet, and on the days when the weather was inhospitable, our girls appreciated the big TV!

Review By Jonathan Martini - January 14, 2008
World In Conflict is a recently released Real Time Strategy (RTS) game which has a great built-in benchmark that displays the game's detailed graphics within an intense wartime setting.
The minimum frame rate is obtained during a scene where a spectacular explosion encompasses the entire screen. The XFX 8800 GT XXX performs admirably at such high resolutions, even when Anti Aliasing is applied.
The Need For Speed series doesn't need much of an introduction. The latest release, Pro Street, brings the series away from its illegal street racing angle of late and closer to its roots of daytime racing with a "professional" background story driving the plot.
The test results were obtained from the Nevada Highway Speed Challenge. Three complete runs at each setting were used to track the frame rate displayed below.
The difference between the two runs is that the results displayed with Max Settings have had the detail level of World Shadows, World FX, Car Effects and Car Damage turned up to a higher level.
This is one game where the game settings of the XFX 8800 GT XXX may have to be a notch below max for the player to have a truly fluid gaming experience. In high speed racing games, I tend to favor scaling back the graphical effects to focus on providing a smoother and jitter-free ride as I tended to notice the few instances when the frame rate dropped into the low thirties with the eye candy maxed.

On Saturday, Syrian rebels took control of the Hamdan airport in the oil-rich province of Deir el-Zour along the border with Iraq after days of heavy fighting with Assad's forces, Rami Abdul-Rahman, the chief of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said.
The airport, near the border town of al-Boukamal, has been turned into a military base during Syria's 20 months of conflict.
Rebels had been making advances in al-Boukamal for weeks. On Thursday, they seized control of the military security building and a military checkpoint at the edge of the border town.
Separately, six people were killed and several were wounded when a mortar round hit a Damascus suburb of Jaramana, state-run SANA news agency reported. The agency said blamed the attack on terrorists, a term the regime uses for rebels, fighting to topple Assad.
In Paris, security for the visit of al-Khatib and his delegation was particularly tight, with sharpshooters on the rooftops of buildings facing the Elysee Palace courtyard where Hollande and al-Khatib spoke to reporters.
Hollande also confirmed that French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius will raise the issue of lifting the EU arms embargo against Syria at a meeting Monday in Brussels among European Union foreign ministers.
Fabius has suggested supplying defensive weapons so Syrian rebels can protect themselves from attacks by Assad's regime. Since May 2011, the EU has imposed a ban on the export of weapons and equipment to Syria that could be used for "internal repression."
Fabius will also press EU partners to recognize the coalition, Hollande said.
Hollande said al-Khatib reassured him that the coalition he leads seeks unity of the Syrian people and the French aim in moving quickly is to "assure its legitimacy and credibility."
The coalition replaces the fractious Syrian National Council as the main opposition group — also recognized first by France — although that group makes up about a third of the 60-plus members of the new coalition.
Al-Khatib met Friday in London with British Foreign Secretary William Hague and representatives of France, Germany, the United States and Turkey and Qatar.
Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria, Barbara Surk in Beirut and Suzan Fraser in Ankara, Turkey, contributed to this report.

Surprisingly, it was a major science festival that placed the Commonwealth on the world stage in 1914. Not even the outbreak of war could prevent over 300 British scientists continuing to Australia for the 84th annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS). Four years in the planning, the meetings generated excitement, debate and more than a few controversies in every capital city. BAAS was formed in 1831 to promote science and its annual meetings were famous for their startling scientific announcements. Behind the 1914 tour of Australia were two great personalities: British geneticist William Bateson and Australian chemist David Rivett, at the opposite ends of their respective illustrious careers. Relive this crucial period in the development of science in Australia with Geoffrey Fishburn.
Our events are designed to educate, entertain and excite.
The Australian Museum is a place of exploration and discovery, inspiring responsibility for our world by promoting knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of science, nature and culture.

Some of my favorite Colorado unique activities are the Stock Show and the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. I am always up for trying anything at least once! I graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver in 2010 with a major in Biology and minoring in Chemistry and Music. I am planning on going to Medical School. I love seeing movies, going to a good concert, reading, horses, and playing the piano. I am a Denver native and I have never been snow boarding or skiing (that's how you know I am from here). I would definitely like to go though! I am new to this whole online thing but I work nights and so it is a bit challenging to meet new people. I'm looking for someone who is not afraid to admit when they are wrong, someone humble, patient and empathetic and has the ability to put others before himself. I am someone who is very passionate, open and empathetic. I like to support my companion and am looking for someone to share adventures with. Also, I am a self-proclaimed nerd and proud of it ☺😊 Send my an email if you want to talk 😉

Rated 4 out of 5Â by HelFree Gorgeous I love this top - design, fabric and all. 11.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RedMoon LOVE THIS TANK! I first bought this in the green and black, every time I wear it my BF tells me how much he likes it. The cotton is very soft and comfortable with the right amount of worn in quality. I liked it so much I decided to buy the purple combo. I was also surprised by the pink color instead of white but since I like pink and purple it actually looks better than I thought. I am 5'10 158lbs and I sized down to a medium this really accentuates my figure. I love the high low hem and how it drapes around my booty! Very happy with both tanks! 11.5.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by elsbarbie Did I get the right shirt? Fits a little loose. Plus... the COLOR! Wow... talk about OFF. Ordered the Lilac and got a pink (where the white part of the shirt is supposed to be) and grayish/purplish color. Bought an xs and I'm 5'7" 125 lbs. 10.31.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by jvvarinny Disappointed I purchased the army/black. On the model, it was beautiful. I like the distressed look, but this piece is overly so and it is very large. I usually wear a medium - a small would have been a better fit. If you purchase this top, I suggest ordering down a size. It is over priced in my opinion being the material is cheap. I am keeping it because I can use it for a lounge top, and I really, really wanted to like it! 10.30.2013

And now Amazon can make use of these viewers.Image Credit: Twitch April 3, 2014 9:00 AM Jeff Grubb 0 Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. It's awesome to have 100,000 people watching an event on Twitch. It's less awesome to have 100,000 all jabbering in the chat at the same time, but the livestreaming platform is working on a solution to this problem. Twitch will begin rolling out a beta test of its new group chat today. This feature will enable the people using Twitch to stream video of their gameplay to nest a smaller band of friends in a private, invite-only room. The standard lobby, which everyone sees, will still continue uninterrupted. Twitch is treating this as its foray into social networking. It wants broadcasters to use group chat to stay in touch with their best gamer buds. This represents Twitch's next step in upping its social game after getting its platform integrated on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. "There's no question Twitch chat is the social glue that brings the community together," Twitch vice president of marketing Matthew DiPietro said. "You have Facebook for your life, LinkedIn for your job, and Twitch for your gaming. Because of our prominent presence in the social arena, introducing group chat offers a compelling new way for the community to interact." The group chat test will start with Twitch partners only. That means only the people running big channels will have the power to start these private rooms, but they can invite anyone they want into them. The feature also only works on the Web version of Twitch, so you won't have access to them from the mobile or console apps. As in the standard chat on Twitch, broadcasters will have the capability to ban or suspend people. They can also set moderators. Twitch says it will examine opening up the feature to everyone eventually depending on how the beta test goes. This is just the latest addition Twitch has made to its services. The company has grown into an industry giant over the last year. It now has 45 million monthly viewers, and — during peak hours — it is the fourth most-trafficked Internet network behind only Google, Apple, and Netflix. Over the last few months, it has worked with Microsoft and Sony to add integrated video-streaming capabilities into each of their new consoles. That has seen hundreds of thousands of new broadcasters joining the site.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — If you want to know the fastest way to spoil something special in the NBA, just check the chemistry.
No championship team operates without good chemistry. No team harboring championship dreams, even the ones boasting the likes of LeBron James and Kevin Durant (the last two men to earn MVP honors, can overcome bad chemistry.
That would explain the presence of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder being involved in the three-team trade with the New York Knicks that went down Monday, a somewhat shocking player and asset swap that sent Dion Waiters from the Cavs to the Thunder, J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert from the Knicks to the Cavs. The Knicks piled up more Draft picks and cap space that will help them continue the Phil Jackson-led chemistry tweak going on in New York.
They are all chasing the same thing the Detroit Pistons discovered when they waived veteran forward Josh Smith before Christmas and promptly ripped off five straight wins. They are searching for that cosmic mix that Vince Goodwill Jr. of The Detroit News describes on Episode 184 of the Hang Time Podcast.
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of NBA.com's All-Ball Blog and renaissance man Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand and the new best sound designer/engineer in the business, Andrew Merriam.

2013 record crop drove corn prices downBROOKINGS, S.D. — Last fall's record-large 13.925-billion-bushel corn crop drove prices down and helped restore profitability and optimism to the cattle feeding sector at the beginning of the year.
By: SDSU Extension Service,
BROOKINGS, S.D. — Last fall's record-large 13.925-billion-bushel corn crop drove prices down and helped restore profitability and optimism to the cattle feeding sector at the beginning of the year.
"From the pre-harvest high of $5.17 per bushel, March 2014 corn futures dropped to $4.08 per bushel on Jan. 10. Not only did that result in feeder cattle prices at record-high levels, but cattle feeding margins also moved back into the black in the first quarter of 2014 after nearly three years of deep losses," says Darrell Mark, adjunct professor of economics at South Dakota State University.
"In many respects, that drop in corn prices in the fourth quarter of 2013 renewed cattle feeders' hope of positive feeding margins for the year to come," he says.
But he adds that contrary to the hopes of cattle feeders and many grain market analysts' expectations, the corn market has staged a fairly impressive rally, rising about 80 cents per bushel since early January.
Driving the market
A number of factors contributed to this spring's somewhat unexpected corn price increase, Mark says. He explains that the situation in Ukraine created uncertainty about grain exports from the Black Sea region, causing world buyers to look to the U.S. to fill orders.
The rally in the soybean market, caused by strong exports, also buoyed the corn market. Good ethanol processing margins and increasing livestock numbers provided additional domestic demand support.
"Now, as focus begins to shift to the 2014 corn crop, drought conditions are expanding in the western Corn Belt, and much of the country remains colder than normal, which might delay corn planting," he says. "Further, corn growers indicated that they intend to reduce corn planted acreage by almost 4 percent from last year, according to (U.S. Department of Agriculture's) Prospective Plantings report. If realized, that would put 2014 planted acreage at 91.691 million acres — the smallest corn acreage since 2010."
These bullish factors have driven corn prices higher at a time when many cattle feeders and other corn buyers didn't have procurement hedges in place. Now, after an 80 cent per bushel rally, he says an appropriate question to consider is; "Should some type of hedge or risk management strategy be used to protect against further corn price increases?"
"While the bullish factors are valid in that they raise expectations for higher prices, it is also important to consider the bearish argument," he says.
According to USDA, March 1 corn stocks totaled 7.01 billion bushels, which is 30 percent higher than a year ago, indicating there are substantially more available supplies this spring. But the majority of the increase in corn stocks is being held by growers in on-farm storage, which was 45 percent higher than a year ago.
On the new crop side, it is still quite possible to have a large, maybe record, number of bushels produced, despite the decline in planted acres in 2014.
"While production risks abound and will be much of the trade's focus in the upcoming months, at this point there is little to suggest that a national trendline yield of around 165 bushels per acre isn't still possible," Mark says. "That means a 13.9 billion bushel crop could still be harvested this year, which is near 2013 production."
Procurement tips
While locking in the next two to three months of corn feed needs with cash forward contracts is a reasonable strategy, buyers do not need to be in a hurry to lock in flat prices at this point. Mark says because so much corn is being held in on-farm storage, a lot of corn needs to be sold and shipped yet as farmers clean out storage in preparation for the 2014 crop.
"As that cash movement occurs, basis is likely to weaken considerably," he says. "Therefore, a futures or options strategy that protects against higher price levels, while leaving the long hedger open to the weaker basis may be preferable."
He adds that, in contrast to recent years, physical procurement of corn in the next few months shouldn't be much of a concern. "Unless the possibility of significant damage to new-crop corn production becomes a reality this summer, corn prices could ultimately decrease by mid-summer, following additional strength early in the growing season," he says.
Should that occur, Mark says a maximum price strategy using call options would provide the protection against higher prices and the flexibility to realize lower prices.
"Whether or not an individual cattle feeder needs corn price protection depends upon their feeding budgets, physical supply of corn and other factors," Mark says. "But, it does appear that in the next couple of months, the corn market will be more risky than what we expected it to be last winter."

The town of Hollis is subdivided into two major sections, Hollis and Holliswood. It was originally part of the famous Dutch purchase of Jamaica in 1656 from the Jameco Indians. During the revolutionary war, General Nathaniel Woodhull, the commander of the Queens and Suffolk militia, was mortally wounded by the British forces in a tavern at Hollis' village center. His crime was refusing to say "God save the King".
Previously known as East Jamaica, Hollis was developed in 1884-5 by former Queens Highway commissioner Frederick W. Dunton. After having purchased 136 acres of land in Hollis, Dunton interested several of his friends in the district, and sold them land lots. Homes were quickly built on the land that was previously farmland. Dunton named the town after Hollis, New Hampshire, where he was born. In 1885, Dunton and several other residents donated land and opened a new railroad station.
In 1895, the towns little old wooden school house was replaced by Public School 35, which was later moved to a larger building. In 1896, a library in Hollis was organized through voluntary contributions, and by 1897, the library contained 800 volumes. The Hollis library became a branch of the Queens Borough Public Library on January 1, 1901, and in that year circulated 4,428 books. The library's present location on Hillside Avenue was established in 1973.
By 1920, the population of Hollis grew to almost 4,000 residents, and attracted many Manhattan commuters. Hollis now houses approximately 31,000 residents. It is a growing and diverse community with Hillside and Jamaica avenues serving as its main shopping areas. Famous residents of Hollis have included Mario Cuomo, L.L. Cool J., and Colin Powell.

Mercury Marauder Accessories & Parts
The Mercury Marauder was used to name three divers vehicles produced by the Mercury division of Ford Company in 1963-2004. In the 2003 the nameplate Marauder revived as a high-performance variant of the full-size Grand Marquis. But already in 2004 the Marauder's production was discontinued due to the low sales level.
The Mercury Marauder was based on the upgraded Panther platform. And similar to the Grand Marquis, the Marauder was equipped with a 4.6L V8 petrol engine delivering 302 hp. The car borrowed a lot of stylish elements together with the mechanical parts from its Ford and Mercury stablemates. The car was created as a vehicle that was to crush the competition. The Mercury Marauder was called a muscle sedan for having rather aggressive appearance and a powerful engine.
The 2004 Marauder could accommodate at once up to 5 passengers: there was plenty of space for the rear and front occupants, so even the tallest adults would not be squeezed at the backseat. The main feature of the vehicle was a two-tone interior. All the features not only added style, but were also a reminder that the Marauder was a performance-oriented car. The white-faced gauges had a 7,000-rpm tachometer and a 140-mph speedometer. One of the inner stylish features was the leather upholstery seats accented with classic French seam stitching.
Featuring brisk performance, intuitive handling, and loads of efficiency due to solid Mercury parts, the Mercury Marauder has always seemed to outshine its rivals. Thanks to the stylish, smooth exterior that displays a touch of modern design, this car is also a fashion-piece! Some drivers love it for the look. Others prefer the drivability. Ultimately, it's about providing satisfaction in all areas. For Mercury Marauder owners, that's all that matters.
CARiD.com knows premier quality is always the name of the game. Our inventory of Mercury Marauder Accessories and Parts is all the proof you need. We handpick the most respected brand-names in the business and offer them right here at the best prices on the web.

My family came and stayed here for a weekend getaway. The home was comfortable and very clean (with the exception of a few stained sheets). We really had a great time grilling, hiking, and using the pools. The lake was kind of low so we didn't go down there at all. Adding a firepit would be our only suggestion. Our... more
