During the month of November, Lions all over are coming together in the fight against diabetes. According to the International Diabetes Federation, an estimated 328 million people are living with diabetes and this number is expected to rise to 592 million by 2035. It is important for Lions to raise awareness for this deadly and debilitating disease. Here's how your club can help:
How will your club raise awareness for diabetes this month?

When Hurricane Katrina hit the United States in August 2005, the aftermath was devastating. Communities were damaged, but the sense of community spirit was still alive. The road to recovery has been a long one, but Lions and Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) have made it a little easier through service and support.
Chalmette High School, a school that acted as a shelter, was filled with eight feet of water and destroyed. The community had to set up a makeshift school following the storm. Lions and LCIF have helped rebuild the school, provide school buses and more to help revitalize the community and create a permanent environment for children to learn.
Learn more about the grants that supported Chalmette High School in the following video, featured in the October 2014 Lions Quarterly video magazine:
Dear Lions,
In recent months, we have all watched as an outbreak of Ebola has gripped West Africa. The outbreak has taken more than 5,000 lives, and it is estimated that more than 4,000 children have been orphaned. A lack of health education and growing food shortages in these countries are proving to be a disastrous combination. Lions, I am appealing to you to join me in offering support.
We Lions have a long-standing history of helping those who need us around the world. Today at the Europa Forum, I announced that Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) will provide a US$150,000 grant for Ebola Aid. Several countries, including Japan and Sweden, have already committed their support.
With 167 clubs and more than 8,000 Lions in affected countries, Lions and LCIF are pledging their support for those most in need. Please consider making a donation to LCIF's Ebola Aid campaign and bring hope to Ebola victims, their families and those affected by the outbreak.
I want to thank you for your support and your commitment to meeting humanitarian needs whenever and wherever they arise.
Barry J. Palmer
Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation

The Lions of District 322B2, in Kolkata, India, organized a project and motivated Lions to donate 5kg of rice for someone in need –they called their project the "Rice Bucket Challenge." They collected a total of 20,500 units of rice, each weighing 5kg. The rice collected was then distributed to blind residential schools, homes for the mentally and physically challenged, old age homes, street children and beggars.
This Relieving the Hunger project counts towards our own challenge. Our goal for the Centennial Service Challenge is to serve 100 million people by 2017 through youth, vision, hunger and environmental projects. We are encouraging Lions to not only record their activities to MyLCI, but also post them to their club's Facebook page or other social media sites. Don't forget to add the hashtag #LIONS100 so that clubs around the world will be able to see the impact you are making in your community.
What types of hunger projects is your club organizing?

In 1917, Melvin Jones had a vision. It's a vision that has sustained Lions Clubs International for nearly 100 years and one that has inspired my work as your International President.
This January, I invite you to join me for a special week of celebration and service honoring the legacy of our founder, Melvin Jones. It's a great way to get involved in the Centennial celebration, strengthen your community and show your family and friends what it really means to be a Lion.
The Worldwide Week of Service in January is an international event that brings Lions around the world together to celebrate the birth of our founder by hosting a service project of your choice during the week of January 10-16. Your club can join the fun by hosting a service project benefiting youth, vision, hunger or the environment.
It's that easy. Just visit the Lions Worldwide Week of Service website today and start planning your project. Your club will even earn a special Centennial Banner Patch when you report your project on the MyLCI Service Activity Report!
And remember to bring your cameras, because we'll be sharing photos of your service projects on Facebook throughout the whole week. Just use the hashtag #Lions100 and we'll share your images on the LCI Facebook page.
Don't miss this opportunity to be involved in one of the biggest Centennial events of the year!
Your International President,
Joe Preston

"The property is breathtaking and was the perfect place to celebrate with my family!! The house is perfectly structured with an open floor plan with amazing décor. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a home cooked meal and the rest of the house has plenty of room for entertaining. The spacious bedrooms are well decorated and beds are comfy. Pictures don't do justice on how beautiful this place is! We felt like we were on a private resort yet we were only a few miles away from town. We loved the large (floor to ceiling) sliding doors that opened up to the backyard which allowed us to watch the kids play from the inside. We also enjoyed the panoramic views of the nearby wineries from inside the house or while relaxing on the hammock chairs on the deck - so serene! We never wanted to leave the property since it had tons for us to do and the owners do a great job by having everything you need for your stay so there is no reason to leave. Everyone of all ages has something to do. Being outdoors had a camp-like feel which was nice at night while sitting by the fire. There's really nothing to complain about. My family and I had a great time!! Thanks again for allowing my family to vacation in your home and for being so accommodating. We're already taking about making this an annual trip and looking forward to coming back!!"Guest: Chey Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 16, 2015View listing

"My maid of honor and I stayed in the apartment as home base for a girls' trip to wine country. The apartment was beautiful and more than enough for the two of us. Everything was very clean and obviously well kept. The owners met us when we got there with a bottle of wine and amazing tips on the vineyards/wineries available close by. The location was ideal! We had quick and easy access to tons of wineries in the area and it was very peaceful...we even managed to sneak in a morning run on the backroads past tons of vineyards. I would definitely recommend this to others as an amazing place to stay during your wine tour!"Guest: Kathryn G. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 19, 2015View listing
"The home was incredible. The pictures on VRBO do not show the amenities this home offers. It was well stocked, comfortable and had plenty of bedrooms. The 8 other ladies in my group state it is the best home we've stayed in and we've stayed in many. We loved sitting on the outdoor patio while the deer walked around. Thanks to Maurine for making the booking so easy and especially to Jeanette who waited on us for over 2 hours to show us around and Dave for his help. I highly recommend this home."Guest: Shawn C.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
05 Feb 2010 08:44 GMT
"Boa's loss is a bleak reminder that we must not allow this to happen to the other tribes of the Andaman Islands."
The Bo are thought to have been among 10 distinct Great Andamanese tribes which numbered around 5,000 strong when the British colonised the Andaman Islands in 1858.
Most were killed or died of disease, with just 52 now thought to survive.
Tsunami survivor
Narayan Choudhary, a linguist at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University who is part of an Andaman research team, wrote on his website that Boa Senior "epitomised a totality of humanity in all its hues and with a richness that is not to be found anywhere else."
Island languages thought to originate from Africa Some thought to be 70,000 years old, with links back to pre-Neolithic times Bo was one of 10 languages spoken by the Great Andamanese group of tribes Around 5,000 Great Andamanese lived on the islands when they were colonised by the UK in 1858 Most of the tribes were killed or died from disease brought by outsiders; today only 52 are thought to remain
Boa Senior survived the Asian tsunami of December 2004, which swept over the Andaman Islands less than an hour after the initial earthquake off northern Sumatra.
She reportedly told linguists afterwards: "We were all there when the earthquake came. The eldest told us 'the Earth would part, don't run away or move'."
At least 1,300 people are believed to have died in the Andaman and Nicobar islands when the tsunami struck.
Though Bo the language has been closely studied by researchers of linguistic history, Boa Senior spent the last few years of her life unable to converse with anyone in her mother tongue.
Boa Senior's follows the the passing last November of Boro Senior, another woman who was the last surviving speaker of Khoro, another Great Andamanese language.
Anvita Abbi, a linguist, who knew Boa Senior for many years, said that among the Great Andamanese population, there are only speakers of the Jeru and Sare ancient languages remaining.
There are up to five speakers of the languages on the islands and they have not been transferred to younger generations, she told Al Jazeera."These languages will live as long as they live, and it is a very sad situation," she said.
"Languages are not only a string of words, it exposes a different kind of society and worldview, and they were the only link to the past culture and ultimately, memories of that commuinity."
Abbi said that since Boa Senior was the only speaker of Bo she was very lonely as she had no one to converse with.
"Boa Senior had a very good sense of humour and her smile and full throated laughter were infectious," she said.
"You cannot imagine the pain and anguish that I spend each day in being a mute witness to the loss of a remarkable culture and unique language."
Boa Senior also told Abbi she felt the neighbouring Jarawa tribe, whose population had not dramatically declined, were lucky to live in their forest away from the non-native settlers who now occupy much of the islands.
The few surviving members of the Great Andamanese tribes are now largely confined to one small island.
They are reported to depend largely on the Indian government for food and shelter, and abuse of alcohol is rife.

Running and cardio when young help preserve memory, thinking skills in middle age
Washington: Running and cardio activities in young adulthood could help preserve memory and thinking skills in middle age, according to a new study.
Middle age was defined as ages 43 to 55.
"Many studies show the benefits to the brain of good heart health," study author David R. Jacobs, Jr, PhD, with the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis said.
"This is one more important study that should remind young adults of the brain health benefits of cardio fitness activities such as running, swimming, biking or cardio fitness classes," he said.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is a measure of how well your body transports oxygen to your muscles, and how well your muscles are able to absorb the oxygen during exercise.
For the study, 2,747 healthy people with an average age of 25 underwent treadmill tests the first year of the study and then again 20 years later. Cognitive tests taken 25 years after the start of the study measured verbal memory, psychomotor speed (the relationship between thinking skills and physical movement) and executive function.
"These findings are likely to help us earlier identify and consequently prevent or treat those at high risk of developing dementia," Jacobs said.
The study is published online in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 27, 2014) - GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GQC)(FRANKFURT: M1W)(BERLIN: M1W) ("GoldQuest" or the "Company") is pleased to report positive results from the un-optimized Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for a proposed underground mine at its 100% owned Romero and Romero South Gold-Copper Deposits in the Dominican Republic. The PEA study was led by Micon International Limited ("Micon"). All costs are in US dollars.
PEA Highlights:
- A 15 year underground mine producing an average of 90,000 ounces of payable gold and 15.6 million lbs. of payable copper for each year of full production in two concentrates from 3,800 tonnes per day (129,000 ounces of gold equivalent ("AuEq"))
- All-in sustaining costs ("AISC"), net of copper and minor silver by-products, of $353/oz for 90,000 ounces of gold per year consisting of on-site operating cash costs (net of by-product credits of $557/oz) of $153, concentrate transportation and Treatment Charges /Refining Charges ("TC/RCs") costs of $147/oz, royalties of $21/oz and sustaining capital of $32/oz
- Metal recoveries are estimated to be 83% for gold and 91% for copper resulting, after allowing for transportation and TC/RCs, in net payable gold of 79.2% and net payable copper of 86.5%
- Total Life of Mine ("LOM") revenue of $2.35 billion, an undiscounted pre-tax cash flow of $0.86 billion ($0.60 billion post tax), producing 1.26 million ounces of payable gold (1.81 million payable ounces of AuEq.) from processing 18.5 million tonnes grading 2.69 g/t and 0.61% copper with a Net Smelter Return of $117 per tonne and cash operating costs of $58.69 per tonne
- Total LOM capital cost of $374 million, which includes an initial capital cost of $333.5 million and a sustaining capital cost of $40.4 million
- Pre-tax Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 19.7% (15.1% after tax)
- Pre-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of $318 million based on an 8% discount rate ($176 million after tax)
- Pre-tax NPV of $471 million based on a 5% discount rate ($274 million after tax)
- PEA completed only 2 years after discovery
- Of the mineral resources used in the PEA mine plan, 80% are from the indicated category
- The PEA contemplates an environmentally sensitive approach, including a small surface footprint and no use of cyanide on site, seeking to minimize the impact on the environment and the local communities
"We are proud to deliver a positive PEA for the Romero Project, our cornerstone asset in the Dominican Republic," commented Chief Executive Officer, Julio Espaillat. "Building on our low net All-In Sustaining Costs, we are actively addressing the capital intensity issues of the Romero project through ongoing optimization studies. We also hope to add value through discovery of new resources, which is the focus of our 10,000 metre 2014 exploration drilling program."
The PEA is preliminary in nature, 20% of the mine plan consists of inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Mineral Resources:
The basis for the PEA is the mineral resource estimate prepared by Micon as set out in the Company's National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") report dated December 13, 2013 and effective October 29, 2013 entitled "A Mineral Resource Estimate for the Romero Project, Tireo Property, Province of San Juan, Dominican Republic", which was filed on SEDAR on December 13, 2013. Please refer to the technical report for further information regarding the mineral resource estimate. For the purposes of reporting the mineral resources, Micon selected a net smelter returns ("NSR") cut-off of US$60 (operating cost/commodity price weighted recovery) as an estimate of what might be a reasonable marginal cost of extraction at Romero and US$50 as the marginal cost of extraction at Romero South. Metal prices used were Au = US$1,400/oz., Ag = US$22.50/oz., Cu = US$3.18/lb. and Zn = US$0.95/lb.
A summary of this resource is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Au Cu Zn Ag AuEq AuEq Category Zone Tonnes (g/t) (%) (%) (g/t) (g/t) Au Ounces Ounces ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indicated Romero 17,310,000 2.55 0.68 0.30 4.0 3.81 1,419,000 2,123,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Romero South 2,110,000 3.33 0.23 0.17 1.5 3.80 226,000 258,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Indicated Mineral Resources 19,420,000 2.63 0.63 0.29 3.7 3.81 1,645,000 2,381,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inferred Romero 8,520,000 1.59 0.39 0.46 4.0 2.47 437,000 678,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Romero South 1,500,000 1.92 0.19 0.18 2.3 2.33 92,000 112,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Inferred Mineral Resources 10,020,000 1.64 0.36 0.42 3.8 2.45 529,000 790,000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Mine Plan:
The mine plan for the Romero deposit uses mechanized longhole stoping with both ramp and shaft access. At full production, crushed ore is hoisted to the surface at an average rate of 3,800 tpd. The mining method requires sinking and equipping the shaft, installing the primary crusher station at the bottom of the mine and making provision for backfill from bottom up during the pre-production development period, which generally increases up-front capital (lowering IRR) but results in lower sustaining capital and lower operating costs per tonne, compared to other operations. The mine plan includes provisions for mining losses and dilution. Some further drilling is recommended to upgrade inferred resources to the higher measured and indicated categories, as well as geotechnical and metallurgical drilling as part of any pre-feasibility study.
It is proposed that the Romero South deposit would go into production in year 14. The mine plan takes advantage of the deposit outcrop and requires very little waste development. Modified room and pillar mining with backfill is the proposed mining method. The planned production rate is 2,700 tpd and the mining is expected to continue through the third quarter of year 15.
Processing and Metallurgy:
The processing flow sheet selected for the PEA consists of crushing, grinding and flotation to produce two concentrates; a copper/gold sulphide concentrate and a gold oxide concentrate, neither of which contains any significant deleterious elements. 92% of the total copper and 51% of the total gold reports to the copper concentrate and 32% of the total gold reports to the gold concentrate. Bio-oxidation will be used for the gold concentrate only and dry stacking will be used for tailings disposal. This flow sheet is based on extensive metallurgical testing carried out by ALS laboratories in Kamloops BC and Perth Australia under the supervision of Micon. Total recoveries into the final concentrates, based on existing metallurgical test work, are expected to be approximately 83% for gold and 91% for copper resulting in net payable gold of 79.2% and net payable copper of 86.5%. Both concentrates will be trucked from the mine site for further processing.
Operating Costs:
The operating costs used in the PEA were estimated from first principles using local unit rates for labour, consumables and power where possible, and Micon's estimates for the off site costs. The Life of Mine All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) are estimated to be $353/oz of Au per year, for 90,000 ounce of Au per year, consisting of on-site operating cash costs of $153/oz, net of copper and minor silver by-products, concentrate transportation and TC/RC costs of $147/oz, royalties of $21/oz and sustaining capital of $32/oz.
Capital Costs:
The pre-production capital cost is estimated to be $333.5 million, plus $40.4 million for LOM sustaining capital, for a total estimated LOM capital cost of $374 million, for a pre-production capital intensity of $18.07 per LOM tonne processed. Initial capital expenditures are based on 3,800 tonnes per day (1,380,000 tonnes per year) throughput. The up-front capital costs include the underground mine, processing facilities, infrastructure and hydro-electric installations prior to production and include contingencies of $52.4 million, EPCM costs of $19.8 million and $55.4 million for infrastructure costs including the hydro-electric installations. Project electrical requirements are estimated at 14MW.
Sustaining capital consists of capitalized waste development after the initial production start-up, major equipment replacement and tailings expansions. Mining development costs during production are included in the mining operating costs.
The estimated preproduction capital costs are summarized in the table below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital Costs Start Up Start Up Start Up Start Up US$ Thousand Minus 2 Minus 1 Year 1 Total ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preproduction $ 97 $ 9,469 - $ 9,566 Mining Capital $ 29,892 $ 9,316 $ 9,078 $ 48,286 Processing Capital - $ 73,723 $ 36,311 $ 110,034 Infrastructure Capital* - $ 48,888 $ 6,540 $ 55,428 Indirect Capital - $ 44,474 $ 7,386 $ 51,860 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owner's Costs $ 3,958 $ 1,558 $ 5,516 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Closure Bonding $ 200 $ 200 $ 400 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contingency $ 5,978 $ 36,072 $ 10,359 $ 52,409 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 35,967 $ 226,099 $ 71,433 $ 333,499 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Includes access road, dry stack tailings storage facility, grid power connection and hydro-electric installations.
A technical report supporting the PEA will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days.

On loan at Napoli, Liverpool's Pepe Reina tweets in joy about 3-2 win over Man City [Picture]
- April 13, 2014
- Comments0
Long-term Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina was shipped out to Napoli last summer after the club brought in Sunderland's Simon Mignolet to replace him.
Currently on loan in Italy, Pepe Reina proved he's definitely still a red with a tweet after the game.
The Spanish keeper wrote "And what about that..Impressive!!So glad for the boys and the fans..dream can come true very soon..keep it up ! YNWA"
The dream may come true and although Reina is certainly very happy for his team, he must surely feel a little bit jealous.

Everton, Tottenham, Hull City into next year's Europa League
May 11, 2014, 3:12 PM EDT
Manchester United misses out entirely on European play as Tottenham's 3-0 win over Aston Villa dumps the Red Devils out of Europa League contention.
Everton joins Spurs as qualifiers through table position in fifth and sixth respectively.
The FA Cup final often decides whether the 7th-place finisher gets to play in the Europa League, but in this case Arsenal have already qualified for the Champions League, so the runners-up get the place automatically. Those runners-up are Hull City, so Steve Bruce will have to navigate the depths of the Europa League next year.
MORE: Final Premier League standings
The fixture congestion coming from Europa League play is always a concern for mid-table clubs, and Bruce addressed the issue, adding that the draw of European play will bring players to the club.
"There's a huge complication with Europe," said Bruce. "However, let's not derail it before we get into it. When the draw comes out in mid-July then to see our name in amongst it is fantastic. That's when it will grab hold of people. Big clubs with huge traditions and histories. To be part of it is great."
European play can be fatal for teams that aren't equipped to cope with yet another competition, and Bruce will have to weigh an improbable run to the Europa League later stages with securing Premier League safety for yet another year.
It can be done, as Fulham showed a number of years ago with their incredible run to the competition's final, just losing in extra time.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are no newcomers to the rigors of the competition, having played in the tournament for the last few years. They fell to Benfica in the Round of 16 this past season, a decent run having beaten clubs like Dnipro and Anzhi.
Spurs manager Tim Sherwood insisted the competition was coveted by the club, saying,
"I think that is hugely important for a club like Tottenham," Sherwood told Sky Sports. "Everyone aspires to be in the Champions League, but we know how difficult it is to actually achieve that. We've got a big squad of players and when they're all fit… they need a games programme and I think the Europa League gives them opportunities to play games, keep themselves mentally prepared and physically ready."
For Everton, they will be upset at missing out on a chance at the Champions League, which would have been a big boost to the club.
However, Roberto Martinez will no doubt relish his chance in the competition, making the playoff round through their 5th place finish.
The draw of European play will be most benficial to the Toffees, who have the most holes to fill following the expiry of a number of important loan deals. Europa League play along with the promise of a fight towards Champions League qualification would go a long way in convincing players like Romelu Lukaku to stick around.
The double-edged sword of European play rolls on, but ultimately the achievement is a mark of a successful season for these three clubs.

A picture-perfect sandy island with adorable private bures and friendly and helpful staff. The internet deal we got made it a fantastic price. Only cons were very overpriced internet and cocktails and not many vegetarian options on the menu. Transfers to and from the island can be tricky and expensive too - worthwhile looking into prior to booking.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Very friendly island... service was good, food good, activities varied, great snorkling and diving. All in all a very enjoyable place to get away from it all. Prices for water and liquor is high so hit the store in Nadi before you board the boat.
I would recommend this as a place for couples and for families.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mana Island Resort
I love this place!!!
We have stayed on Mana three times (the first being 24 years ago for our honeymoon) and love it. We even visit when we are staying on the mainland.
All the staff (especially the Activities staff) are of high standard. They are so friendly and some have been working there since the resort opened over thirty years ago.
The food is excellent, although a few more choices would be good especially if you stay for a long period. The buffet breakfast is to die for....you don't need to eat again until dinner!!!!!
The accommodation is good, the garden bures (when we were last there) needed a bit of maintenance but I think that had started. We last stayed in an Ocean View room overlooking North Beach and it was great (not that we were in our rooms very much!!!)
Activities are always good, from the fish feeds with Sam, to the buzz of riding a Jetski.
The welcome you receive when you arrive, whether it be by boat or plane is great. When the staff sing to you when you leave is quite a moving experience.
When we stay it is like visiting family.
Mana Island - Perfect Wedding
Recently spent five nights at Mana Island and got married at the Seaside Chapel.
Pools (2) Clean, one with a spa.
Beach. Excellent. Both sides of the island, plenty of Lounges and good snorkelling
Rooms. Expensive, however good sizes with air conditioning.
I stayed in an Ocean View Room, (had a few insects as guests (ants, spiders) but it is to be expected on an island.)
Staff. Excellent, Friendly always willing to help and nothing was to hard.
Wedding- Perfect, well organised, setting in the Seaside chapel - spectacular.Choir great! (Highly Recommonded)
Food, Two Restaurants, Breakfast is a buffet and plentiful. I would Recommend the Meal packages for Lunch and dinner. Food was good. (No problems with the meals.) I didn't hear of any food poisioning.
Normal Bar prices for the drinks.
The Motorised Water activities are expensive.
Weather- Absolutely Perfect ! All five days , hot and sunny.
Overall a good holiday, our wedding was fantastic and obviously the highlight of our trip.
Awful food
Be very carefull when you eat anything at mana island i ended up with very bad food poisoning and spent three days in bed and the island refused to offer any compansation not even 2 or 3 extra nights. My friend i travelled with also had problems with the food we ended up eating pks of chips from the shop for the last two days. Never again. I went to castaway island after and ate myself silly it was great.
Paradise for adults and kids alike!
Just returned from what was one of the best family holidays we have ever had. Beautiful beaches, good facilities, wonderful staff ; activities laid out for adults and children alike! Our 5yr old son thoroughly enjoyed the Kids Club especially the opportunity to participate in more traditional Fijian activities - a nice change from the 'high-tech' world. Staff were wonderful and ensured that all the children were well entertained.
Accommodation was good. We stayed in a delux ocean view room. Clean, good ocean views - a little noisy depending on your nieghbours but we were rarely in our room. Activities were great. Supervision of non motorised water actiivities a little poor particularly hoby-craft. Only other concern was seeing some patrons suffering gastro. Take pharmacy items as shop has very limited range.
Dont expect the Sheraton - just enjoy a great resort with Fijian fun and hospitality
Paradise found
This island is breathtaking. We stayed in a garden view room, the cheapest available in the brochure and it turned out to have a lovely garden and ocean view. The beaches were lovely and the free snorkeling was amazing, you could lose yourself in their world for hours on end. There were prickly weeds towards the back of the beach but this didn't impact on the white sand and crystal water beauty. The island is arranged so that most of the time you feel totaly alone on the unspoilt stretch of sand. The resort is run by the islanders who live in the staff village over the hill and its this that makes the resort truely special. They are so friendly and the evening polynesian entertainment is fantastic, not comercialised and gimmicky. the food was lovey. OUr room had 2 double beds and was very clean. little touches like free insect repellent (which wasnt needed) and fresh flowers daily were lovely. yes, if you looked closely you could find things in need of a coat of paint etc but on a magical island such as this with fantastic staff you shouldnt have the need to care. I cannot recommend this resort enough.
Highly recommended
I spent 5 nights in one of the cheaper "garden view" bures, which our travel agent had recommended we avoid. Contrary to their advice, we found the bure to be brilliant. It was large, clean, well maintained and well situated to both of the main beaches and restaurants.
The beaches were great, with good snorkelling in both low and high tides The pools looked nice, but were surprisingly cold, so we only swam in the ocean. We found the food to be very nice, and reasonably priced.
We stayed on Mana Island for the final part of our honeymoon for 3 nights. We had previously loved every second of our trip, staying on the Coral Coast and also a 4 night cruise.
We were quite disappointed when we got to the resort. The staff had none of that certain something that makes the Fijians so lovely. Only one of the scheduled activities actually went ahead which we were quite disappointed about.
The resort was quite poorly maintained with tiles falling off the main pool and it was just not inviting at all. The new pool was lovely though. We couldn't go bare feet from all the prickly weeds.
I think that we may have had a different opinion if we had stayed there first rather than last as we had such a perfect time leading to it, thus had high expectations.
Great location but pricey
Mana Island Resort is in a great setting - a large island to the west of Vitu Levu surrounded by blue water and coral reefs. It provides a fantastic opportunity for snorkelling both on its south and north beaches.
The resort itself is adequate however it has not been particularly well maintained - the north beach had rubble on it, some of the gardens were overgrown, the room facilities were not all totally functional and the pool was out of order for "maintenance" (although it didn't look like much had been maintained!).
The food was mostly average and inconsistent. We had some great meals, but a large majority were of a lower standard.
The resort people were also somewhat inconsistent. Some were extremely friendly and personable, while others were disengaged.
Overall, the experience was pleasant, however we were quite disappointed with the experience when we compared it to what we had paid and what we would expect for that amount of money. An ocean front bure (which was actually set back in a garden and away from the oceanfront) was around $400 AUD a night and nowhere near as good as what we would expect for that amount. The food was also pricey and again, not up to the expected quality.
P.S. Would definitely recommend taking the Sea Spray day trip... you get to visit the island where Castaway was filmed, visit a small island village, drink kava, have a great BBQ lunch and drink all the alcohol you want! And a great crew on board!
Wonderful Honeymoon
We visited Mana Island in September of 2004, and it was exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon. The weather was perfect, the water was warm, and the staff was very friendly. It was such a relaxing setting that it was hard to leave. I would recommend staying in one of the Honeymoon Bures.
The snorkling on the island isn't that good and most of the activities such as waterskiing and wind surfing were a little expensive. But if you just want a gorgeous place to relax, then Mana Island is wonderful for that.
The food on the island was a little bland, but the buffet breakfasts were always worth getting up for. The drinks were good, not watered down like on other islands.
I would also recommend taking the day trip abord the Sea Swirl ship that departs from Mana Island daily and travels to the island where they filmed 'The Castaway' with Tom Hanks. That was a wonderful experience and found much better snorkling there.
Fabulous place
we visited Mana Island last December.
Contrary to popular belief it wasnt over hot and didnt rain once!!!!!!!
we loved it as soon as we arrived to the sound of the staff singing on the wharf
the room was good, shower huge, we loved how close it was to the beach.
the snorkelling was out of this world, we saw sharks, cuttlefish, beautiful clown fish etc , all only 20m from the beach
the staff were so friendly, we went to watch the rugby in one of the staff members flat, which was great to meet his family
the restaurant was good, the buffets yummy, you certainly wont go hungry.
we went fishing and caught a few fish which was fun.
also went on two dives, saw lion fish and heaps of sharks, amazing
would really reccomend Mana Island, cant wait to go back, in fact we are going to Matamanoa Island which is nearby in October, will write a review about that when we get back

... expecting at least that. What we got was the complete opposite, the beach was dirty with dead seaweed, the water goes out so far with the tide that it isn't possible to swim and the resort directly next door was under construction. So all in all first impressions were not great (but STA had advised this place was great so we held out some hope). This was shattered pretty quickly once we sat down for lunch and the food was extremely poor, we don't now have high expectations ...

Number 53 is dealt with easily enough: It's the usual Zionist 'and you?' argument that fails over the detail that two wrongs don't make a right. Mark Lincoln's argument is more interesting. I'd be curious to see what the 'peace' crowd would do if the 'Lebensraum' crowd somehow miraculously went away. Do the Bradley Burstons really want peace and equality -- or do they merely tell themselves they want these things, knowing all the while that they needn't fear having them? Israel's population is drawn from so many disparate sources: I don't see a child of Geramn philosophy professors really having much in common with Yemeni village traders, even if both are circumcised. I think that Israel NEEDS the conflict. Absent it, it would have no real definition -- and over and over again, Israel has rushed to war, reassuring itself that it really faces a dire threat. It does -- but it's the threat of peace itself that is the danger.

My husband and I stayed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach the week before Labor Day. We are SPG Gold members (Platinum by year-end!) with plentiful points, so we made this journey as award travel - which makes it difficult for me to comment on overall value (though of course we know that it is quite a pricey establishment). So I'll stick to the other stuff.
Service was high-touch - very attentive, pleasant and helpful but not overbearing. We were very pleased with everything. The rooms were quite nice - what I would expect from a hotel of this caliber. The grounds were quite beautiful, especially the pool - but there were times I wished they had been better about policing the family pool - the main pool was flooded with children, even though there is a separate, adjacent pool that is supposed to be specifically for families.
You will read complaints that this hotel is not "on the beach" - it isn't. The Ritz is, but if you go there, you will note that it rests high up on a cliff over the beach - it still takes some doing to get down there. The St. Regis offers shuttle (golf cart) service to the Monarch Bay Beach Club, which it owns - this was really the easiest way to get there, and my only wish is that the schedule for the shuttle would have been published. A couple of times we waited 15 minutes or more with no indication of when the shuttle would arrive to transport us. Aside from that small beef, we found beach access to be a piece of cake, and the beach area itself was very nice. If you are concerned about an ocean view, the St. Regis offers many rooms with an ocean view; only difference is most also overlook the gorgeous hotel pool and golf course.
The golf course was great - we played there three times during our stay. It was in excellent condition, was challenging but not impossible for we mediocre golfers, and again the service in the pro shop and on the links was top-notch. Like other high-end golf resorts, they just take care of everything for you - shuttling your clubs to and fro, storing them in the clubhouse. We came thinking we were going to play several public courses in the area, but we ended up sticking around at Monarch Beach.
Aside from golf, the highlight of our trip was two dinners at Stonehill Tavern. It is an incredible Michael Mina restaurant with a warm modern/earthy decor. The wine list was equally impressive.
True, there is not a whole lot else in the immediate vicinity at Dana Point - but who needs it? If you are vacationing primarily for beach and/or golf, you will find most everything you need right there at the St. Regis. I would think this would be particularly appealing for a young family, since it just makes everything so much easier and less stressful.

LONDON Dancing to the beat alongside a Brazilian on Copacabana beach on New Year's Eve appears to be the dream way to ring in 2013 if a global survey of 17,000 people is any indicator.
The survey conducted by social network Badoo.com (www.badoo.com) across 17 countries and four continents showed Brazilians were considered the top nationality the rest of the world would most like to share New Year's with.
Americans ranked second in the poll, with Spaniards, Italians and the French coming third, fourth and fifth. Belgians and Swiss ranked joint last.
"This seems harsh on the Swiss and Belgians", Badoo director Louise Thompson said. "But I can understand that most people would rather celebrate New Year's Eve on a beach in Brazil than by huddling against the cold in northern Europe."
New Year's Eve falls in the middle of Brazil's summer, which makes the climate perfect for huge, outdoor parties of the kind Brazilians enjoy attending with friends or family to welcome the new year.
The festivities are held in cities across the country, but Rio is judged to have the best, including Brazil's most famous New Year's Eve event - the giant gathering on Copacabana beach, attended annually by some 2.5 million revellers and widely considered the best New Year's Eve party in the world.
Spanish also gather en masse on New Year's Eve in Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where both those present and many more watching at home listen to the clock chime 12 times while eating one grape on each chime, to bring prosperity for the new near.
The Italians, who ranked fourth in the Badoo poll, brought a more romantic flavour to New Year's Eve gatherings by staging a mass kiss in Venice's Piazza San Marco.
None of these gatherings, however, can match the scale of the festivities on Rio's Copacabana beach, which are also famed for their spectacular fireworks display. Ocean liners are known to moor nearby to watch.
For those near the beach on New Year's Eve, the tradition in Brazil is to jump seven waves at midnight while throwing flowers in the sea and making a wish - one wish for each wave.
Sao Paulo, Brazil's biggest city, also boasts a giant New Year's Eve party, held in Paulista Avenue and attended by over a million merrymakers. Only in Brazil could a party this big rank second best.
There may, however, be one way Europeans can claim to surpass the Brazilians on New Year's Eve, which is when it comes to clothes.
Brazilians traditionally dress in white on New Year's Eve, to bring luck for the new year. This tradition turns Rio's Copacabana beach into a giant carpet of white.
Both the Spanish and Italians, however, take a more colourful approach - welcoming the New Year by observing the local custom of wearing red underwear for good luck.
Badoo is a site for chatting, flirting, dating and meeting new people, with 168 million users across over 180 countries. (Reporting by Paul Casciato)
