Surprise Party Sham is rated out of 5 by 22.
Rated 5 out of 5 by EBold from Beautiful I almost passed the sham up when ordering the quilt, but I'm glad I didn't. They look great together and the sham is made so well! You can't help but feel happy when looking at this bedding.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ZC19 from Beautiful Quilt! I bought this for my daughter who is turning three. She loves it and it looks absolutely adorable in her room. She has a bright white bed. This quilt is a buttery color- a bit on the yellow side more so than ivory. The quality is absolutely amazing. It is warm but not thick and bulky (no batting). The chiffon balloons are made of good quality chiffon that looks like will hold up well, and colors are very bright and cheery. I would say the colors are more warm coral-pink than a cool pink color. I washed and dried it at home when I received it. It washed well. I also ordered the matching sham but purchased a sheet set from another local retailer to save some money. I would recommend either solid color or polka dot print sheets. The LON "confectionary" or gold dot sheets would look adorable! So happy with this purchase. Definitely worth the money due to quality. My daughter will enjoy this adorable, unique balloon quilt for years. Who doesn't love balloons?! Thank you Land of Nod!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MajesticNarwhal36 from So, so pretty! Got this to match the quilt and am thinking of getting a second one. Beautiful and well-made with nice ties in the back. My only regret is that they did not make the crib set when I needed that stuff as it is just so beautiful I would have bought it all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MajesticNarwhal36 from Even lovlier in person. Bought this as soon as it came out last spring but just now started buying the furniture to start the "big girl" room. This is gorgeous. The colors are amazing and the shades of pink are varied enough that it will work with many kinds of decor. My only regret is that they don't sell the fabric to match as I would like to make a fee throw pillows as I am not a fan of the one with the bow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bunny82 from Love everything about this bedding! We bought our daughter this bedding for her third birthday. It is gorgeous! The colors are more peach and coral than pink but that's a okay with me! The balloons are double stitched to help avoid tearing because every kid will jump on a bed. She was so excited and I'm absolutely thrilled with our purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DawnR from Big girl bed. My grand-daughter has just moved to her big girl bed, as she is soon to be a big sister. My daughter-in-law painted her room pink and gray. The bedding is adorable and really looks cute in her room. The sheets are perfect as is the bow throw pillow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by carolinek from What kid doesn't like balloons! When we showed our two and a half year old her new bed (Jenny Lind in raspberry) with this quilt...she shouted, "Balloons!!!" There was a huge smile on her face...she ran to the bed and hugged the balloons on the pillow sham. "And they are pink!", she then screamed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mcnugget1 from SO in love with this bedding! My mom purchased this bedding for my daughter for her 2nd birthday. We will be putting it in her room in September, when we transition her to her "big girl room." I absolutely love it! It's even prettier in person. We got her the gold dot sheet set and the confectionary sheet set to go along with the quilt. I can't wait to set up her big girl room!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by amandapanda from Love the look! These really spice up your sheets and they are pretty comfortable too. They seem to be really well made and I like that the fitted sheet is fitted around the whole thing and is plenty deep so it's not constantly pulling up. Would buy again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by makeover from eye-catching This quilt is gorgeous. My daughter loves it. The colors are beautiful. There are actually four different colors in the quilt: a red-orange, a peach, a watermelon color and a grapefruit color. We accented her bedroom with black and white as shown in the Land of Nod picture online. My daughter now has a fun and cheerful looking bedroom. We love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by misono from Lovely pillowcase. I purchased this pillowcase to go with the matching balloon quilt, and they are beautiful together! The chiffon balloons come in bright, beautiful hues and are appliquéd and embroidered on very well. The pillow has a tie closure in the back (see accompanying photo) that results in two little bows which I thought was a cute detail. Both the quilt and pillowcase are well-made and look like they will last for years! We're very happy with the look and quality of both -- love this bedding set!

Rated 5 out of 5 by misono from Beautiful balloon quilt! I immediately fell in love with this balloon quilt when I first saw the bedding set in the Spring 2014 collection. I ordered it along with the balloon pillow sham for my daughter as she's about to turn three and is transitioning to her "big girl bed." I really love the chiffon material of the appliquéd balloons -- it gives the quilt such a delicate look, and the embroidered "strings" of the balloons are also a lovely detail. The quilt appears to be well-constructed and of high quality, and the colors are very vibrant and fun! I was initially surprised to find that the base color of the quilt is actually a little more of a cream than the white that I had expected from the photo online, but that doesn't bother me and it still looks beautiful. My daughter loves her new bed adorned in the beautiful balloons, and now no longer hesitates to sleep in it! It really brightens up the room, and everyone who's seen it has commented on how gorgeous it is. We couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Following Complaints over Sunscreen, Jessica Alba's Honest Company Faces Scrutiny
After consumers have publicly complained about the ineffectiveness of its sunscreen, Jessica Alba's Honest Company is under scrutiny. The Honest Company promises to sell "safe and eco-friendly household and baby care products" and markets an SPF 30 sunscreen with "broad spectrum, mineral-based protection." According to some consumers, however, the product did little to protect them against burns. Some have taken to social media platforms to express their frustration. One twitter user posted a photo of his reddened scalp and tweeted "this is my very real result from Honest 30 SPF sunscreen. Only spent 1 hour outside. Burnt." CNBC reports.
NBC Chicago interviewed Gretta Stabler, who applied the product on her 6-year-old daughter four times over a three hour period. "She got really burned on her arms, shoulders, legs, face, pretty much everywhere. I was angry," Stabler said. Continue reading
FDA Cautions Against Mixing Up Brintellix with Brilinta
Some doctors and pharmacies have confused two different drugs with similar-sounding names, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned. The agency said that it has Brintellix and Brilinta. Brintellix is an antidepressant sold by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Astra Zeneca's Brilinta is a blood thinner prescribed to patients who have had a heart attack or severe chest pain. The FDA said it received 50 reports of medication errors; there were 12 instances where doctors prescribed the wrong drug or the pharmacy dispensed the incorrect medication. The agency is not aware of any cases where the wrong drug was taken.
The FDA says there have been reports of medication errors since Brintellix's approval in 2013. The two drugs have some similarities in appearance; the letter T is stamped on both tablets and in some cases both are yellow. Consumers should be aware of a few differences. Brintellix is a tear-shaped tablet stamped with the letters "TL" whereas Brilinta is a round, yellow tablet stamped with "T 90". Continue reading

New Lawsuit Filed Against Janssen Pharmaceuticals Over Levaquin Nerve Damage
Janssen Pharmaceuticals and drug distributor McKeeson Corp. were hit with a lawsuit last week in Pennsylvania federal court by a Texas woman who says the companies failed to warn of known dangers of the antibiotic Levaquin, which she alleges caused her permanent nerve damage.
The woman was administered Levaquin both during and after heart surgery in 2006, and in her complaint she contends that the drug maker did not warn either physicians or patients that using the drug could result in permanent nerve damage. The suit said that from 2004 until 2013, the drug carried a confusing label that advised consumers the side effect was rare and symptoms would disappear when the drug was discontinued, Law360 reports.

Levaquin Linked to Mitochondrial Toxicity in FDA Report
The antibiotic Levofloxacin, sold under the brand names Levaquin and Cipro, is in the flouroquinolone family and widely used to treat serious infections such as pneumonia and kidney infections. Recent reports, however, suggest that the drug is linked to a condition known as mitochondrial toxicity. ABC5 in Cleveland, Ohio that a 2013 report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified this risk but, has not publicly disclosed it. A review of the FDA's adverse event database showed that Levofloxacin has been linked to 3,000 deaths and 200,000 complaints, ABC5 reports.
In 2008, the FDA placed a black box warning on the drug in 2008 warning of nerve damage and ruptured tendons. Continue reading
Outbreak of Legionnaires' Disease Sickens 46 in the Bronx, Kills 4
Since July 10th, 46 people have acquired Legionnaires' disease in the Bronx and four people have died. According WABC, positive samples of the bacteria have been found in air conditioning at a hospital and a complex with a movie theater. Authorities are currently unsure as to whether the contaminated equipment is linked to the outbreak.
According to Mayo Clinic, Legionnaires' disease is caused by exposure to legionella bacteria and mostly affects the lungs. Initial symptoms include headache, muscle pain chills and fever that may be 104 F or higher; these symptoms may occur two to 10 days after being exposed. Coughing (may bring up mucus and blood), shortness of breath, chest pain, gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and confusion may occur by the second or third day. Continue reading
FDA Failed to Warn Public of Serious Side Effect Linked to Antibiotic Levaquin
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) failed to disclose a serious side effect associated with the family of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones identified in a 2013 agency report.
In an investigation, Cleveland television station ABC5 obtained a 2013 FDA report that raises concerns about possible "mitochondrial toxicity" associated with fluoroquinolones, which are marketed under brand names including Levaquin and Cipro and the generic form levofloxacin. These powerful antibiotics have been used to treat anthrax cases and are used for pneumonia and kidney infections. Continue reading
European Regulators Review Medtronic's InductOs in Light of Contamination Issues
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) will be reviewing Medtronic's InductOs following reports of contamination problems at a site that manufacturers one of the product's components. InductOs is an implantable bone development product used in patients undergoing spinal fusion in the lower back and in surgeries to repair broken tibia. The kit InductOs is sold as contains its active ingredient dibotermin alfa and an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) manufactured by Integra LifeSciences.
Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) reports that the contamination problems were from a site in the United States that manufactures the ACS in InductOs. In January 2014, inspectors identified "a number of major deficiencies" and Integra was issued a corrective action plan. Because of the contamination issues, the company was not allowed to import the sponge to the EU until inspectors could return and "assess the progress in eliminating the major deficiencies".

Andrei Kirilenko opts out, will be unrestricted free agent
Jun 29, 2013, 12:28 PM EDT
The Minnesota Timberwolves expected this, and if they want Andrei Kirilenko back next season now they are going to have to pay more for it.
Looking for some longer-term security, 32-year-old Kirilenko has opted out of the last year of his deal (worth $10.2 million) and will become an unrestricted free agent, reports Jerry Zgoda at the Star-Tribune. Kirilenko can re-sign with the Timberwolves or any other team.
Kirilenko is seeking a three- or four-year extension because he believes this might be the last chance to negotiate the last big contract of his career.
You can bet Flip Saunders won't offer anything more than two years, and at a salary considerably less than $10 million.
What Kirilenko is doing is what Andre Iguodala and a lot of other players have done — they may take less money in the next season to get the security of a long-term deal.
Kirilenko averaged 12.4 points on 50.7 percent shooting plus had 5.7 rebounds a game for the Timberwolves last season playing primarily at the three. After spending the post-lockout season playing for CSKA Moscow, he returned to the NBA and continued to be a good performer with moments of impressive play.
If as expected he leaves Minnesota, just drafted Shabazz Muhammad could get some of Kirilenko's minutes.
How much will teams pay for that in the new CBA with all the new taxes? Kirilenko is an interesting test of what teams will pay in the new CBA world, and for how long.
He will not be in the first wave of free agents picked up but there will be teams interested.

TasteTLV is the ultimate
culinary guide for dining in Tel Aviv.Walking through the streets of Tel Aviv is an olfactory pleasure. On
Fridays you are greeted with the warm smell of halla baking in every
storefront. At all hours of the day, the bakeries on each block seem to
have a never ending supply of warm chocolate rugelach and flakey
burekas. If you think you're hungry, follow your nose to any corner for a
fluffy white pita stuffed with hot falafel and hummus.These
are staple foods in Israel, which is why you will find them everywhere,
freshly baked. For most people, this lifestyle is a dream. But for those
of us with gluten sensitivities, these aromas are torture. On Friday
nights, the blessing over the halla becomes your curse. While your
friends rush into the bakery for chocolatey pastries, you wait outside
to avoid temptation, like a dog chained to a post. And while others chow
down on authentic falafel for a quick snack, you find yourself asking
for a plate of hummus and cabbage, which hardly simulates the real
thing.Israelis take pride in their food and have come up with a
number of ways to make their meals available for every stomach. As
such, Tel Aviv is home to a number of gluten free/friendly dining
destinations for those of us who want to enjoy Israel without dietary
restrictions.Café MarcoNestled
on the corner of Gordon and Dizengoff, you will find Cafe Marco and the
culinary delights that come with it. If not for the tanned waiters and
Hebrew menus, you would think you were dining in an Italian cafe. Most
of the seating is outside save for four tables in what looks like a
small bakery. For the past seven years, Cafe Marco has been catering to
all palates, including gluten-free ones.Cafe Marco offers
authentic Italian cuisine including seafood dishes, hearty paninis,
soups, pizza, and of course, pasta. For gluten free options, you need
only tell the wait staff what you want, and they will tell you whether
or not this is available without gluten. All of the sandwiches (served
until 5 p.m.) can be prepared on gluten-free bread, and most of the
pasta dishes are available without gluten as well, making this a perfect
place for gluten sensitive people to bring their stomach-healthy
friends. Note that the gluten free dishes do cost a few shekels more
than the normal menu items.For an excellent meal, try the
pappardelle al ragu. This dish includes a heaping serving of gluten-free
pasta covered in a slow cooked meat sauce, tomatoes, and root
vegetables. And to top off the night, ask for the gluten-free chocolate
cake. Without knowing it, you would never guess that this fudgy delight
is gluten-free. Don't tell your friends and watch them enjoy.39 Gordon Street(03) 529-1775Not kosherEat MeatEat
Meat is located on the ever-humming streets of King George, where
temptations from bakeries and restaurants are high. Fortunately, at Eat
Meat, you never have to feel like you are missing out. The menu is as
simple as it's name. You have two options to choose from here: a meat
salad or a meat sandwich. So, while this is not specifically a
gluten-free establishment, fifty percent of the menu is, making Eat Meat
an easy dining experience for those with gluten sensitivities.Eat
Meat's salad includes a generous portion of thinly sliced and freshly
grilled entrecote, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, hot peppers (upon
request), mayonnaise, chimichurri sauce, and deli mustard. For many
people, the salad is too large to finish in one sitting, making this a
perfect excuse to bring a date. Seating is limited to an indoor bar with
approximately five stools, and several outdoor tables.68 King George(03) 525-2153Not kosherHippo FalafelAlthough
falafel is technically fast-food, and fast-food is notoriously
unhealthy, Hippo Falafel breaks the mold. Having worked in the falafel
industry for decades, owner Dima Kaminsky became disappointed with the
authentic food that Israel was offering up to its people. When he opened
Hippo Falafel, he decided it would be under the pretext that he could
serve his customers healthy falafel. As such, the ingredients are
completely organic, and every falafel ball is gluten free. Kaminsky went
a step further and also offers gluten-free pita for a guilt-free (and
stomach friendly) sabra meal.Because there is gluten-free pita,
gluten-intolerants can enjoy any menu item at Hippo Falafel. So when
you've had your fill of light, fluffy, organic, and non-greasy falafel,
try the sabich. Sabich is an authentic Israeli sandwich consisting of
pita stuffed with cooked eggplant, hard boiled eggs, tahini, hummus, and
Israeli salad (chopped tomato, cucumber, and onions). The best thing
about Hippo Falafel is that they are as fair to your wallet as they are
to your intestines! A falafel sandwich costs NIS 17 -- cheaper than the
less healthy versions you would buy in Dizengoff Center. Yes, Hippo
Falafel is worth a visit, and a bite.64 Dizengoff(03) 609-3394VegetarianCup O'Joe (Cafe Joe)There
are few things that are worse than walking by a sandwich shop and not
being able to have a single bite of one menu item. Especially when the
sandwiches are adorned with gooey melted cheese, fresh roasted
vegetables, and blends of fragrant spices. The only thing worse than
having to walk by this sandwich shop once, is having to walk by it
multiple times... because its a chain. Unlike most chains, each Cafe Joe
in Israel has a cozy and unique atmosphere that makes it just as easy
to work in the restaurant as it is to socialize with friends, and of
course eat.The best thing about Cafe Joe is that every sandwich
can be prepared with gluten-free bread. For those who have tried
gluten-free bread, you'll know that this food is either hit or miss;
more often than not, gluten-free bread is stale and tasteless. At best,
it is edible when eaten with the right condiments. But Cafe Joe's
sandwich bread is incredibly commendable. The bread is warm and chewy
with a hint of sweetness that compliments any sandwich. For a real
treat, try the "spicy toast". This large panini comes warmed with tomato
sauce, garlic, chili, grilled peppers and two different types of melted
cheeses: mozarella and bulgari. Never deny yourself a hearty sandwich
again!Multiple locations throughout IsraelDizengoff St. Open 24/7Not kosherTandooriThere
is no easier place to be gluten free than an Indian restaurant.
Vegetables are predominant in every course, and aromatic basmati rice is
almost always the side dish. (Of course, depending on what you order
you can also enjoy tenderly cooked chicken, lamb, or beef.) Tandoori
makes things difficult though, but not because of the gluten-free
specifications. Rather, every menu item at Tandoori is so beautifully
described and presented, that making a decision on what to order becomes
a sacrifice of all the other delicious menu items you can try.
Furthermore, Tandoori provides diners with authentic Northern Indian
food in an equally authentic atmosphere-- hand-carved statues of
elephants line the walls while Bollywood music plays quietly in the
background.For a gluten free meal that you and your friends are
bound to enjoy, start with a cup of mango or lychee sweet lassi, a tart
and creamy yogurt drink blended with Indian spices. Next, try the malai
kofta- nut and cheese croquettes cooked to perfection a fragrant cream
and curry sauce. Pair the dhal makhani (black lentils) with chicken
makhani (grilled chicken in an exotic sauce), and of course, a side of
basmati rice, and you'll have a meal fit for royalty.2 Zamenhoff St(03) 629-6185Not kosherThe writer is currently an intern for Taste TLV.

Do you have a fear of flying?
Related Links
Relevant offers
In the wake of the two Malaysia Airlines flights gone awry this year, nervous flyers' knuckles are whiter than ever.
But how realistic are their fears?
Grant Amos is a psychologist and the director of Flying Without Fear, a course that helps New Zealanders overcome their fear of flying by demystifying the air-travel experience.
He said a person's fears about a plane disappearing or crashing were realistic, as recent history showed. "You don't need statistics to prove that", Amos said.
But, he said, fear was not what underlay people's problems with flying. Anxiety disorders were.
"And these are made up of two magic words: 'what if?' Once you ask that, you can create your own monster movie in your head, which can lead to irrational behaviour."
The unsolved disappearance of flight MH370 in March sparked a rise in inquiries at FWF, but so far, its ill-fated successor MH17 - shot down by a missile over Ukraine - has not had the same effect.
Amos put the difference down to circumstance.
"When you've got disasters with facts, you may not like the facts but you can come to terms with them," he said.
"When the facts are unknown, you don't have to face the reality of how much rubbish it [the speculation] is. "With the first Malaysian flight, it was unknown as to what had taken place. When the flight disappeared, their imaginations ran amok. There were reports that aliens stole the plane or that Boeing crashed it on purpose to embarrass the Malaysian Government.
"[MH17] was struck by a missile fired by a bunch of terrorists. We may not like it but those are the cold, hard facts we need to come to terms with."
Media coverage of such events made them more dramatic than their statistical probability warranted, Amos said.
Compared to the probability of dying in a plane crash, someone was six times more likely to be kicked to death by a donkey or murdered by a spouse or a relative.
Being in one's home was 11 times more dangerous than being on a plane, Amos said.
"With my background, I was able to dispel most of the bullshit that was promoted and clarify some things that haven't been fully explained in the media.
"For example, there was no loss of radar. Military radar had the plane [MH370] under surveillance from Vietnam and Malaysia the whole time. They're not going to broadcast that because it tells everyone else how effective their radar systems are and they don't want people to know. It didn't mysteriously disappear into a black hole."
He declined to say what he thought had happened to the plane.
What are your chances of dying in a plane crash versus dying another way?

I have no problem with this as long as the public is also allowed to trespass on PETA's (and similar activist groups) place of business to film and record meetings, conversations in the lunch room, etc etc as well as the personal homes of the employees of these organizations. What's fair is fair.

I have to agree that if the law is there to protect everyone, then PETA should be up for the same scanning and public viewing. Peta has taken up practices that would hinge on being a terrorist group. They too should be accountable. I heard that they too have a rescue where pets are put down by injection too.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
26 Oct 2013 14:08 GMT | Environment, Humanitarian crises, US & Canada, Latin America, Armenia
Heraldo Munoz, a former Chilean ambassador and president of the UN Security Council, serves as assistant secretary-general and UN Development Program director for Latin America and the Caribbean.
This week marks Hurricane Sandy's first anniversary. Most media attention will understandably focus on the destruction and suffering caused when Sandy struck the United States on October 29 last year, killing more than 110 people and causing more than $50 billion in damages.
But what is likely to get less attention is that the US was just the last of many stops on the hurricane's tour of destruction. Beginning on October 24, Sandy, one of the largest Atlantic hurricanes on record, rumbled across the Bahamas, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and other countries before finally reaching the eastern seaboard of the US.
The impact on this region was enormous. In Jamaica, most of the country was left without electricity, and public infrastructure suffered damages valued at hundreds
The impact on this region was enormous. In Jamaica, most of the country was left without electricity, and public infrastructure suffered damages valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Nearby Haiti was even more exposed, with at least 50 dead and millions affected. Cuba, where the storm reached peak intensity, was left with at least $7 billion in damage, including to more than half of the housing in Santiago de Cuba.
And one year on from Sandy, there are many lessons that we should learn from those living in the Caribbean, a region regularly tested by the Atlantic hurricane season.
On a recent visit to Port-au-Prince, I witnessed the tenacity of Haitians who gave me a tour of their newly rebuilt neighbourhood, one of the hardest-hit by the 2010 earthquake. What struck me is that while Haiti suffered a double-hit - with Sandy arriving only two years after the earthquake which killed at least 100,000 people, and affected as many as 3 million more - many measures implemented during the quake recovery helped reduce some of the storm's impact.
For example, more than 300,000 people in Haiti have been engaged in community clean-up, which aids reconstruction and limits the risk of future events. With the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other organisations, workers have been building riverbank protection against floods, constructing walls to prevent landslides, and planting mangroves and forests to block winds and debris.
While the rates of death and destruction in Haiti were high, the effects could have been much worse. It is widely accepted that measures taken before Sandy arrived, coupled with a culture of contingency, helped mitigate the severity of the storm, saving lives and limiting damage. The same could be said for other countries across the Caribbean.
Cuba is a country that prepares well for the possibility of disasters. Risk reduction management centres, set up by the government with support from UNDP, have helped sustainably manage the impact of hurricanes. In fact, while Cuba has been hit by at least 20 hurricanes and tropical storms since 1996, only 56 lives - a relatively low number - have been lost. While any death is unnecessary, this number could have been much higher had the centres not been in place.
The centres analyse areas of the country that are most at risk from storms and use this information to develop risk reduction measures, such as safer housing policies and urban planning. In order to prepare for emergencies, early warning systems have been implemented and lifesaving information is disseminated. When Sandy struck last year, these systems ushered people away from exposed areas and into shelters. The cumulative effect was a much lower death toll than could have otherwise been the case.
In countries as diverse as Chile, Armenia, Bangladesh and Nepal, it has been proven that preparing for disasters helps mitigate the impact and avoids the heavy costs of cleanup and recovery. This is a lesson that should be adopted in all countries prone to disasters, rich and poor alike. For instance - while estimates vary, the cost of protecting New York City from future storms could be as low as $10 billion, much less than the estimated $18 billion worth of damage Sandy caused to the city.
When you consider the threat of climate change and the potential for many more storms such as Sandy, which both disrupt the well-being of populations and destroy hard-won development gains, the cost of investing in disaster preparedness is more than justified.

If you go to Italy, please make sure you visit
Cinque Terre
. We stayed in Riomaggiore and it ended up being my favorite of the towns. It seriously changed me forever.
Cinque Terre
is my favorite place in this amazing world. It has been over two years since I have been there, but I can still smell the fresh air and see the vivid images of the locales in their natural state. The food, the wine, and the view provides for the best feelings one can have. I can't wait to get back there! Not to mention the awesome and really cheap hostel options. Me and my friends practically had our own apartment for a mere 20 euro a night!
Been there twice and would go again in a heartbeat.
Cinque Terre
is especially good for those who want some physical activity and scenery too. Stayed in Riomaggiore which was less touristy than the others, but any of the 5 villages would do!
I've been to Italy three times and
Cinque Terre
was my favorite. It truly is unspoiled. The locals were nice. We hit town around dusk one day and didn't have a room. Met some nice people and they rented out a small apartment. Spent two nights. Ate well and relaxed. Going back in 05.
Cinque Terre
is a real a paradise place to go and it has ideal combination of wandering in wild nature, swimming in sea, and sunbathing on the beach.
is my favourite place in the world. I wish I could stay there forever. If only I could find a job I would.

Telestream (www.telestream.net), a Nevada City, CA-based based provider of video transcoding and digital media software systems, has agreed to be acquired by private equity investment firm Thoma Bravo (with offices in Chicago and San Francisco) in order to grow Telestream's core businesses and, perhaps, make further acquisitions.
The transaction is expected to close in early January 2012. Terms of the deal were not disclosed as both companies are privately held.
With the significant increase in portable devices in the marketplace, Telestream acknowledged the increasing need for multiformat, file-based video encoding and transcoding systems to distribute and display numerous versions of the same content. The new influx of capital from Thoma Bravo appears to be a good way to meet this demand by bringing next-generation products and managed services to market quickly.
Dan Castles, Telestream's co-founder and CEO, said, "We look forward to our next phase of growth and expansion with Thoma Bravo as we continue to play a leadership role in the digital media industry."
"Vendors like Telestream have been helping to fuel growth in the digital video market by providing solutions that help media companies meet the challenges of scalability and economically creating and delivering the massive volumes of content demanded by a multiscreen environment," said Mukul Krishna, Global Director, Digital Media at Frost & Sullivan.
"The video ecosystem continues to grow and expand as customers require increasingly complex tools to manage their end-to-end video workflows," said A.J. Rohde, vice president at Thoma Bravo. "Thoma Bravo sees significant opportunity in the digital media market, and Telestream is well positioned as a strong platform for increased investment in the industry."
Telestream said it has been profitable since 2001 and will report, at the close of 2011, 13 straight years of record sales growth. The company has self-financed three acquisitions: compression specialist Popwire in 2006; live webcasting and screencasting provider Vara Software in 2008; and Anystream, a leading provider of automated multiplatform media publishing systems, in 2010.
Telestream will continue to operate as an independent entity with existing management teams continuing their current roles. Headquarters will remain in Nevada City, with offices in Virginia, Sweden and Germany.
Thoma Bravo looks to be targeting the media distribution sector in a big way. Earlier this month, an investor group led by the Thoma Bravo agreed to purchase Blue Coat Systems, a maker of enterprise security and network software, for $1.3 billion in cash.
Blue Coat, based in Sunnyvale, CA, specializes in applications that help businesses optimize their online networks for speed and efficiency. Its security products, which are also offered through the so-called cloud, also help companies control and monitor the data that flows from the Web.

In the MMA world, it's all about moving that proverbial needle. Although current MMA stars Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor currently light the Internet on fire, there are others from the past and present.
MMAjunkie Radio kicks off at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) with guests Demetrious Johnson, Miesha Tate, Rousimar Palhares and Bryan Caraway all in studio.
Stream or download Tuesday's edition of MMAjunkie Radio with guest Beneil Dariush.
Ronda Rousey's pro debut came less than four years ago, but the 28-year-old has already taken the sport by storm – both in and out of the octagon.
Newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier looks to make his first title defense in October, and $50 gets you in the door to watch it live.
In what will be just his third promotional outing, Joseph Duffy is slated to face fellow lightweight Dustin Poirier in a headlining bout for the UFC's fall return to Ireland.
Forgive Beneil Dariush if his martial arts spirit goes out the window – it's weight-cutting time.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs recall RHP Zeke Spruill; Jordan Pacheco lands on disabled list
The Arizona Diamondbacks continued shuffling their roster Wednesday, recalling right-handed pitcher Zeke Spruill from Triple-A Reno and placing utility man Jordan Pacheco on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder tendinitis.
Spruill, 24, was 3-4 with a 6.75 ERA in 17 games (10 starts) for Reno this season. This will be his second stint in the Majors in 2014. He pitched the second game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets May 25, going 5.1 innings and allowing 10 hits and three earned runs in a 4-2 loss.
Pacheco was claimed off waivers from the Colorado Rockies earlier this month and appeared in eight games for the Diamondbacks, batting .375 (3-for-8) as a pinch-hitter.
In his career, Pacheco is a .282 hitter (250-for-886), with eight homers and 98 runs batted in.

'Old school' Silverstone excites Chilton
Silverstone may have undergone quite a few changes in recent years, but Max Chilton can't wait to return to the "old school" track this weekend. Chilton made his Silverstone debut last year, just months after the track underwent major renovations, but the Marussia driver believes there are still plenty of the historic features.
