Mallorca island hotels
Marvellous Mallorca
The biggest island of the Balearics can sometimes be overlooked in favour of its flashy, party-mad sister Ibiza. Yet (as is often the case when you meet a pair of beautiful sisters) the quieter, slightly more mysterious one is the girl you want to hang with long-term.
Mallorca's beaches are its main drawcards, and you're going to want to grab your towel and sunscreen and laze on the white sand. El Arenal is an excellent place to start with its crystalline waters and long stretch of sand. Or you could head to Es Trenc on the southeast coast to mingle with the crowds of beautiful people.
But Mallorca is also full of historic charm, with smatterings of ruins and ancient buildings such as the Palau Almudaina, a Moorish fortress, as well as the ancient city of Pollentia – or what's left of it!
Culturally, Mallorca provides a healthy serving of museums and galleries, as well as eerily beautiful caves like Coves del Drac (Caves of the Dragon), which resemble the home of a mythical beast.
And while Ibiza enjoys the wilder reputation, Mallorca is no wallflower. It's still home to some very iconic bars and clubs, with the mandatory troupes of perma-tanned hotties rolling their hybrid Euro accents and giggling at the (equally mandatory) drunken, pink-tinged Brits trying to get their attention.
Mallorca's Top 10
10. Aqualand It may seem silly to visit a water park on an island where beautiful beaches abound, but Aqualand is great fun and the best.
5. El Arenal One of Mallorca's many beaches, but easily the best and most beautiful.
9. Serra de TramuntanaThis mountain range has wonderful hiking trails that offer spectacular views.
4. Katmandu A weird and wonderful interactive playground filled with magic, robots, miniature golf and a 4D cinema.
8. Marineland An awesome aquarium (duh) that also houses birds, snakes and penguins. The dolphin show is legendary (and adorable).
3. Es Baluard Museu d'Art Modern i Contempoani de Palma Long name, cool place. Pretend you're smart while looking at art.
7. Manacor The pearl factory here is a must. Watch the intricate process and then hop on over to the Superstore where you'll find pearl-encrusted jewellery for sale.
2. Coves del Drach These caves form an underground city of rock and limestone and have a great story to tell.
6. La Seo A visually stunning cathedral that has roots back in the 1100s.
1. Palma The heart of the island is home to fab eats, a great nightlife and shopping galore! Bring money. Spend it.

Mallorca Local
Here you'll find amazing little coves and beaches with some of the clearest, bluest waters in the world. Start your day with a morning of sun and sand and then hop on a bus to nearby Arta, a town filled with medieval architecture and historical structures including the Sanctuary of Sant Salvador. Also in the area are the Cuevas d'Arta, an underground city of caves open to visitors.
P.S. If you're around on a Saturday, the Placa del Pins hosts a market of handicrafts, food, leather goods and other bits and pieces.
This is home to more than half of Mallorca's population and a whole bunch of stuff to see and do. Start on the white sands of Ciudad Jardín and Cala Major and then make your way over to the many historical sites, including Catedral de Mallorca, a spectacular cathedral that exhibits art, Banys Àrabs, historic Arab baths, and Castell de Bellver, a 14th Century castle that sits on a hill and contains a museum of archaeological remnants and classical art. If you want your history hit to be purely Spanish, head to Pueblo Español, an architectural museum containing major Spanish works.
For something a little more fun and wild, head to Aqualand water park and Marineland, a marine zoo/aquarium. At night, Paseo Maritimo boasts masses of bars and restaurants for a feed, drink and dance.
The north part of the island is host to many history-rich ruins and churches, including Sant Juame, as well as hiking trails that lead to breathtaking views. If bird-watching is your bag, S'Albufera Natural Park is definitely worth a visit. Study everything from the Penduline Tit to the Shag while taking in the wetland's serenity. Finally, watch skilled craftsmen make some gorgeous works of glass-art at the Menestralia factory.
This town is nestled at the feet of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and is a real treat for visitors. If you're up for a workout (and are wearing sturdy shoes), the view from the top of Puig de Pollenca is pretty spectacular. A Basilica-style chapel, monastery and museum also await you at the top, with the old monastery offering hearty, homemade meals.
Mallorca Eat & Drink
Bananas If you want to get absolutely obliterated and have an awesome time, this is the place to be. It's a bit on an icon for trashiness.
Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo A kitschy café to feed your every sugary craving. Their homemade ice cream and pastries are the bomb. Sant Francesc
Sampaka Chocolate cravings? This emporium of sugar and cocoa will satisfy you better than you ever thought possible.
Tast Tapas, baby! This cool tapas bar is known for churning out the best tapas on the island. Which is probably why it's always so busy.
L'Escargot If you like snails, frog's legs and other stereotypical French cuisine, hit up this gem. Great prices for the quality. Santa Eugenia
Simply Fosh No, that's not a spelling mistake for a seafood-serving restaurant, but the name of the celebrated Marc Fosh. The dark hardwood floors and mammoth walls of glass in this contemporary space make the food even better.
Sa Rotana Dine on Mediterranean dishes amongst cobblestone paths, blooming flowers and lush greenery. La Reserva Rotana Private Golf & Wine Resort
Abraxas This famous club looks like a cool, underground wonderland and is the best place to grab a Grey Goose martini and be seen.
Koldo Royo Fresh seafood is the specialty, and the chef here is renowned in Spain. He even teaches classes if you're up for it. Palma's Bay
Restaurant Tristan Moody lighting, a sea view and two Michelin stars. This is one of the most elegant eateries on the island and is worth the coin. Puerto Portals
Mallorca Events
Mallorca celebrates the Festival of St. Sebastian in late-January. The island fires up with a stack of celebrations and activities, a buzzing vibe and, of course, some fireworks.
Nit de Foc (Night of Fire), every June, is one of the most popular festivals in Mallorca. Parks and villages light up with bonfires, fireworks and performances, and there are some wicked food stalls as well.
The town of Sóller hosts the International Folklore Festival, a unique and culturally diverse fiesta of fun every July. Performers come from all corners of the globe to put on various shows of music and dance and entertain the crowds.
A variety of Christmas markets take over the town squares each December. It's a nice lead-up to Christmas and the stalls are full of pretty, handmade trinkets, religious pieces and general Christmassy joy. Magical stuff.
New Year's Eve is an awesome time to be on Mallorca. The entire island celebrates the coming with music, dancing, fireworks and the eating of grapes. Yep, the eating of grapes…! The Spanish NYE tradition is to scoff 12 grapes in the remaining 12 seconds of the year so that the next year will be a lucky one. It's a lot harder than it sounds and just as hilarious as you imagine.
Following Spain's religious calendar, most of the festivals held in Mallorca are based on the Roman Catholic calendar. The feast days of the patron saint of Palma, San Sebastian and San Antonio Abad are celebrated at the start of the year bringing colourful parades and ceremonies in the streets. Right before the week of Lent, there is a big carnival called Sa Rua ushering dances and revelers in masks. During the Holy Week moving towards Easter, there are daily religious processions in every town. In July, the patron saint of Mallorca is honoured through another round of parades and merrymaking in the whole island. Around September/October, festivals for good harvest are celebrated.
When To Visit
Heavy rainfall, flash flooding and major storms often occur during mid-September through to early December, so it's best to not visit during those months.
Summer can be stinkin' hot, with the mercury often nudging 40°C (104°F). But it's also when the island is at it's busiest and has the best vibe. If you can't handle the heat, the spring months, March to May, are perfect.
Winter temperatures: 8-13°C (46-55°F)
Spring temperatures: 18-25°C (64-77°F)
Summer temperatures: 30-35°C (86-95°F)
Autumn temperatures: 16-19°C (61-66°F)
What To Miss
If you're lazing on the beach under the beaming sun and a friendly local offers you some refreshment, don't accept it. Once you take a sip, they'll hike up the price and then relentlessly bug you until you give them a big wad of cash. A simple 'No, thanks' and a healthy supply of your own water should suffice.
The crowded buses are notorious for pickpockets. Guard your wallet and keep your bag closed and to your chest.
Avoid being the buffet for a family of mosquitoes by slathering yourself in insect repellent. Mosquitoes are rife in Mallorca so it's best to come prepared and save yourself hours of itchy agony.
Getting Around
EMT buses are great! They'll take you everywhere you need to go and the fares are cheap. They do get mighty crowded, though.

General Information
Mallorca Island, the largest of the Balearic group of islands is off Spain's east coast, Along with Ibiza, Fermentera, Menorca and Cabrera, Mallorca is a popular holiday destination in Spain, if not Europe. Apart from sandy beaches, there are charming historical ruins to explore, small towns to get lost in and a dozen small discoveries to be made along the way. All sorts of villas, apartment blocks and shops line most of Mallorca's coast. Still Mallorca Island remains unfazed by modern trappings, with its tropical charm still intact and a host of attractions on offer. Thus it is well recommended to have your fill of museums, old monasteries, gothic cathedrals and small villages. That is, if you can tear yourself out of Mallorca's idyllic beaches for just a bit!
When you get to Mallorca Island, first on the itinerary would be to soak up the sun as you laze in any of the amazing beaches. There are several good choices which can be reached by public buses from the capital. The long beach of El Arenal, seven miles southeast from Palma, has white sands and rich blue waters. To the southwest, Palma Nova and Illetes, are smaller in size though can be both busy at times. The most popular sandy haven is Es Trenc located on the southeast coast. Capping off this long list is El Molinar, Can Pastilla and Portixol.
Back on dry land, the capital, Palma de Mallorca provides a good sight-seeing hub for celebrities and royalties! A maze of shopping arcades add a cosmopolitan touch, the sight of ruins, restored buildings and tapas bars makes it all the more lively and charming!
Palma's foremost landmark is the gothic cathedral, La Seo, which dates back to the 14th century. Opposite the cathedral is Palau Almudaina, a former fortress built by the Moors who once inhabited the island, which eventually became a palace for kings who ruled Mallorca. Another castle worthy of a visit is the hilltop Castel dell Belver, its surrounding double moats, a reminder of its origins as a fortress to ward off enemies.
The peak summer months, can bring on crowds of beach-lovers. Not to worry as Mallorca Island has some historical finds and fun activities for holidaymakers. If you want to sample a slice of Romanesque past, head for Alcudia town to see the ancient city of Pollentia, or what's left of it, just outside the walls. There is a museum housing archaeological finds. For the more adventurous, explore caves that resemble dragons found inside a cluster near Porto Cristo on the east coast aptly named Coves del Drac.
Winter (December to February) 4-13°C; sunny days are few but the fine mild weather makes for pleasant conditions in the island
- Spring (March to May) 20-32°C; less humidity and little rainfall
- Summer (June to August) 29-31°C; generally good and sunny
- Fall (September to November) 16-19°C; rainfall at its heaviest

This is a truly indestructable duffel for those long trips where you are packing everything - including the kitchen sink. Waterproof material and bombproof durability make for an ideal bag if you're headed off for a summer in the peace corps or some kind of mission trip to a developing country. Would also make a great duffel for kids going off to camp for the summer, or any pursuit where you just have to have a TON of gear with you- like triathlon.

It has often been said that the Spring is when a young man's fancy turns to love. However the most romantic day of the year seems to fall in the middle of the winter, Valentines Day. How did this happen?
The fact is no one seems to really know. The legends that surround the hearted holiday, are long, convoluted and mysterious.
Most people know that the actual name of the holiday is St. Valentines Day, so they believe it was named after a saint in the Catholic church. However today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine, but which one was the day named after. No one knows for sure.
And what about all the stuff that goes on during that day. The secret cards that show up, the chocolates on the doorstep and the notes from secret admirers?
For some reason, despite the frigid and often wet weather, February has long been a month steeped in romance. The holiday, which in non-leap years falls directly in the middle of the month contains traditions that include Christian, Roman and pre-Christian practices.
The legends as to the start of the holiday abound. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men, who were his potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
While Valentine was in prison awaiting his fate, he came in contact with his jailer, Asterius. The jailer had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius' daughter. Just before his execution, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailer, and signed a farewell message to her "From Your Valentine," a phrase that lived ever after.
Valentine thus become a Patron Saint, and spiritual overseer of an annual festival. The festival involved young Romans offering women they admired, and wished to court, handwritten greetings of affection on February 14. The greeting cards acquired St.Valentine's name.
The Valentine's Day card spread with Christianity, and is now celebrated all over the world. One of the earliest card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. The card is now preserved in the British Museum.
Although the truth behind the Valentine legend is to a certain extent murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
Perhaps no one will ever know the true identity and story behind the man named St. Valentine but February has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating clear back to the Middle Ages. In fact, Valentines ranks second only to Christmas in number of greeting cards sent in the world.
There are also other vestiges of Valentines people know little about. Cupid is a good example. In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.
As early as the fourth century B.C., the Romans engaged in an annual young man's rite to passage to the God Lupercus. The names of the teenage women were placed in a box and drawn at random by adolescent men; thus, a man was assigned a woman companion for the duration of the year, after which another lottery was staged. After eight hundred years of this cruel practice, the early church fathers sought to end this tradition.
They found an answer in the Roman priest Valentine who had been executed hundreds of years before.
Did You Know?
Many early Christian martyrs were named Valentine, which can make it confusing when trying to figure out just who is being honored on Valentine's Day. While there might be many martyrs named Valentine, the two honored on Valentine's Day are Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. The former was a Roman priest who was martyred in roughly 269 AD, while the latter was bishop of what is now Terni who was martyred in 197 AD. It was not until the 14th century that any of today's popular romantic elements began to take shape when celebrating Valentine's Day. As a result of those new developments, the distinctions between Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni were gradually lost, eventually prompting the feast of St. Valentine on February 14 to be removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969.

Valentine's Day Movie Guide
No holiday is more synonymous with romance than Valentine's Day. Every February 14 couples express their feelings for one another with candies, flowers and a host of other romantic traditions.
For couples who want to cozy up on the couch this Valentine's Day, the following movies make ideal choices to set a romantic mood.
* Casablanca (1942) -- Perhaps no movie of the 20th century is more fitting for Valentine's Day than this Humphrey Bogart classic. In the midst of World War II, world-weary nightclub owner Rick Blaine (Bogart) finds himself in the middle of a love triangle with his ex-lover (Ingrid Bergman) and her husband (Paul Heinreid) in French-occupied Morocco.
* Out of Africa (1985) -- A seven-time Oscar winner, including Best Picture, this acclaimed film tells the tale of a largely abandoned young wife (Meryl Streep) who falls in love with a free-spirited big-game hunter (Robert Redford) in 20th century colonial Kenya.
* From Here to Eternity (1953) -- Another classic, this features the immortal scene of Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr passionately kissing in the sand as the waves crash over them.
* Roman Holiday (1953) -- Princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn) is bored and manages to escape her entourage of guardians while visiting Rome. There she meets American journalist Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), whose goal of an exclusive interview soon becomes a romantic adventure for both.
* The Princess Bride (1987) -- Couples who like some laughs with their romance will appreciate this Rob Reiner fairy tale with a comedic twist. Buttercup (Robin Wright) is beautiful but doomed, chosen to marry an evil prince (Chris Sarandon). But a smitten stable boy (Cary Elwes) returns from sea to rescue his beloved. A nearly instant classic, the film features hilarious performances from the likes of Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin and the late pro wrestler Andre the Giant.
* Out of Sight (1998) -- Behind the star power of Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney, this offbeat romance is tailor-made for couples who prefer a little adventure with their romance. After a federal marshal (Lopez) finds herself locked in the trunk of a car with a charming escaped convict (Clooney), an unlikely romance soon develops in this film based on an Elmore Leonard novel.
Hit By Cupid's Arrow
Cupid is a symbol of Valentine's Day, but many do not know how this winged matchmaker came to be associated with the holiday.
Do you believe in love at first sight? How many friends or relatives have said they met their dream guy or gal by a chance encounter of eyes meeting across the room? Perhaps Cupid played a role --shooting his arrow and finding a target.
Cupid is represented in several ways. But the best-known image of Cupid is a winged, naked boy shooting arrows to join potential lovers together. Cupid has two types of arrows he can set sail. Gold-tipped arrows are what links people in love. However, Cupid also has a devious side. He can fire lead-tipped arrows, which cause people to feel hatred. This side of Cupid is little-known.
Cupid is the son of Venus in Roman mythology. Greek myths called him Eros, and he was the son of Aphrodite. Stories say that Venus, the goddess of love and beauty became jealous with a mortal woman named Psyche. She ordered her son to punish the mortal. However, Cupid became enamored with Psyche and married her instead. But being a mortal, Psyche was not able to look at her husband. She resisted until one day her sisters persuaded her to look at him, wondering why he'd want to hide himself from her. Upon doing so, Cupid punished Psyche by leaving her and making all of their belongings vanish.
Psyche wandered looking for her lost love. She eventually came upon the temple of Venus and wanted to plead her case and apologize. However, Venus was still jealous of Psyche. Venus ordered her to complete dangerous tasks to try and win back Cupid, in an effort to destory the mortal.
In one of her tasks -- a visit to Pluto in the underworld -- Psyche failed and fell under a deadly slumber. Cupid was beside himself, found Psyche and rescued her. Both Cupid and Venus forgave Psyche.
Eventually the rest of the gods -- moved by Psyche's devotion -- made her a goddess.
Today Cupid is the mascot of Valentine's Day. His mischievous or devious nature is downplayed, and he is best known as an adorable matchmaker with heart-tipped arrows.
You can evoke Cupid this Valentine's Day by drawing arrow-pierced hearts on steamed-up mirrors in the bathroom for your mate to discover.
Or send Valentines with hearts and arrows as the theme.

A consent judgment was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, granting the judgment in favor of North Country Disbursements LLC, Perkiomenville, Pa., and 13 individual plaintiffs against Mr. Swartz, North Country Capital Inc., North Country Hospitality Inc. and Ultimate Franchise Systems Inc.
At the end of the day, they put money in, I put money in, the companies put money in and the creditors didnt get paid, Mr. Swartz said Saturday.
Mr. Swartz said that, despite the dispute stemming from a total of $900,000 lost by investors, he agreed to a $2.5 million judgment in recognition of interest and additional returns the money could have otherwise yielded investors.
Im still working with them to help them collect, he said. These are friends and associates that Ive done business with for a long time. It wasnt acrimonious at all.
According to a complaint filed in May, the investors claimed that Mr. Swartz approached them in July 2007 with an opportunity to invest with North Country Hospitality in exchange for an annual rate of return on the investment. The investors maintained that they contributed a total of $900,000 toward the venture, with Mr. Swartz personally guaranteeing the investments with a promissory note.
The investors claimed that Mr. Swartz immediately defaulted on the promissory notes, not making any payments until making a $25,000 payment in July 2009. That amount was distributed to the investors on a pro rata basis, but the investors claim that no further payments were made.
According to the complaint, Mr. Swartz told the investors during several meetings that he was about to close a deal in which the Jreck Subs franchise would contract with Watertowns Alteri Bakery to buy all of its sandwich rolls from Alteri. At the time, Mr. Swartz controlled both Jreck and Alteri, although Alteri was acquired by Seaway Valley Capital Corp. in 2008. Seaway Valley and Alteri have since sued Jreck in state Supreme Court claiming Jreck broke the contract requiring that Alteri be its exclusive roll provider. That matter still is pending.
The investors claimed that Mr. Swartz repeatedly said he was going to pay back their principal investments and would make it well worth their having made the investments. They alleged that during a January 2010 conference call with several investors, Mr. Swartz told them that he was on the verge of signing a deal with Canadian investors that would infuse either North Country Hospitality or North Country Capital with between $2.5 million and $6 million in exchange for the two entities franchise development rights. The investors maintained in their complaint that they never heard anything more about the Canadian deal and that no payments on the promissory notes ensued.
Because of Seaway Valleys involvement in the Alteri acquisition, the corporation also was named a defendant in the suit, but its chief executive officer, Thomas W. Scozzafava, said Saturday that any debt due the investors was never disclosed to him at the time of the acquisition.
Id never heard of these people until the suit was filed in May, Mr. Scozzafava said. Seaway Valley certainly doesnt owe this money.

All the Best Car Interiors Money Can Buy
The first two years of Carroll Shelby's Mustangs are the most desirable to many Mustang purists. Those 1965 and 1966 GT 350s were light, simply styled, and perfect for track work. But the later 1967 and 1968 cars offered more fun under the hood and were the machines of choice if you wanted to win drag races.
For the first time, '67 to '68 GT 500 Shelbys came with 355-hp 428-cubic-inch big-block power under the hood. Car testers of the day saw quarter-mile time slips in the mid-to-low 14-second bracket—quick for the day. The Shelby Mustangs received more scoops and flashier styling than the older cars to match the new-found power and torque. And the even quicker KR (King of the Road) high-performance model was available in 1968 too.
Little-Known Fact: The 1967 Shelby Mustangs used Mercury Cougar tail lamps, but the 1968 models used lamps from the '66 Ford Thunderbird.
The third generation of America's sports car, the Corvette, had an incredibly long run: 1968 to 1982. So when it came time for GM to launch the next-generation C4 Corvette, there was wild speculation about the car. Some predicted it would use a midengine chassis, like an Italian exotic. And others thought it might use a rotary engine, like Mazda's.
In the end, the next Vette wasn't radical. It still had a small-block Chevy V-8 up front driving the rear wheels. That first year, it cranked out a meager 205 hp. But after a switch to a new, tuned port fuel-injection system in later years, horsepower jumped—and so did performance. Five years later, Chevy debuted the first ultra-performance Vette since the 1960s: the 375-hp ZR-1.
Little-Known Fact: There is no production 1983 Corvette. Although 1982 was the last year for the third-generation Corvette, Chevy decided to wait until the 1984 model year to launch the all-new car. Why? Some sources claim tighter emissions regulations necessitated more time for development. Others say that quality glitches at the factory were the real reason. All we know is every 1983 Corvette prototype was destroyed, except one: a white car that now lives at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky.

Apple Cuts Component Orders For iPhone5 As Demand Weakens

News PhotoApple Computers,Apple Store,Avenue,Business,Customer,Finance,Horizontal,Merchandise,New York City,People,Retail,Store,Technology,Telephone,USA,WalkingPhotographer Spencer PlattCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Getty ImagesNEW YORK, NY - JANUARY 14: People walk in front of the 5th avenue Apple store on January 14, 2013 in New York City. Responding to weaker than expected demand, Apple has cut orders for LCD screens and other parts for the iPhone 5 this quarter. Shares for the tech company fell more than 4 percent to $498.20 before the bell on Monday. Analysts see the slowing sales as evidence that the U.S. firm is losing ground to Asian smartphone rivals.

George Zimmerman's attorney says he is going to ask a judge to sequester not only the jury but the jury pool in the upcoming murder trial of the neighborhood watch leader.
[DOWNLOAD FREE ZIMMERMAN APP: iPhone | Android]
Attorney Mark O'Mara said Thursday that may involve sequestering 500 potential jurors in order to find six people who can serve on the jury.
O'Mara says he hasn't ever heard of 500 people being sequestered, but he says the Zimmerman case has attracted an unusual amount of publicity. He says he worries that the publicity will influence potential jurors.
Zimmerman is set to go on trial next month for fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense.
A judge will get a chance to consider O'Mara's request at a hearing next week.

MASSENA - When the Massena Rotary Club hosts its annual Pancake Breakfast each spring to raise funds for its programs, Sanford T. Cook is there to promote the event.
When the Massena Memorial Hospital Foundation holds its annual radiothon to raise funds to buy equipment for the hospital, Sanford T. Cook is there to promote the event.
When Massenas Meals on Wheels has its annual Keep the Wheels Rolling radiothon each fall to raise funds for the program that provides meals for the elderly and disabled, Sanford T. Cook is there to promote the event.
When the Salvation Army holds its annual toy drive each December, Sanford T. Cook is there several hours a day for a week to promote the event and encourage the community to donate toys and money to assist those families facing financial challenges during the holiday season.
And thats just the beginning of the list for the morning man who is celebrating the 40th anniversary of his hiring at WMSA Radio in Massena; a job where he has held the coveted morning drive spot since Jean C.L. LaPages retirement in 1982. Hes also been the voice of Massena Central High School football for the past several years and is the public address announcer for the Section 10 basketball tournament as well as Massena High School hockey games at the Massena Arena. Hes also been known to sing the National Anthem at those events as well.
This week the community had the opportunity to thank Mr. Cook for his service to the community during a Tuesday morning remote broadcast at Common Grounds, a restaurant on Willow Street, where dozens and dozens of community residents - many representing clubs and organizations that Mr. Cook has worked with over the years - stopped to give their thanks. There was also a song written to honor Mr. Cook by his friends and fellow thespians from Trinity Catholic School and a button awarded to the morning disc jockey by representatives of the Massena Rotary Club naming him an honorary Rotarian.
This has been a wonderful event. Its been an absolute blast, a humbling experience. Im overwhelmed, quite frankly, by all this attention. Today has been very special, Mr. Cook said as he signed off from his remote broadcast Tuesday morning.
Its been a long and enjoyable trip for a young man who started as a part-timer at WMSA after graduating in June 1973 from Honeoye High School in the Rochester area. Following high school, he moved to the north country to join his parents, Stillman and Jane, who relocated to Akwesasne following his stepfathers retirement from Kodak.
Victor A. Perry, who was an on air talent at WMSA and later became station manager, said Mr. Cook had a short training period. He came in on about his second or third day and I told him I had some work to do on the tower, and he was covering my shift. It was baptism by fire, he laughed.
Mr. Perry said Mr. Cook performed a number of different duties when he first started at the station - from writing copy for advertisements to reading news copy.
But when Mr. LaPage, long known as the morning mayor, retired from WMSA three decades ago Mr. Cook was selected to fill that slot. Sandy had the personality to do mornings. He took it over and has done a fantastic job. He fit right in, Mr. Perry said.
He always wanted to be involved in everything we did - Salvation Army, March of Dimes, hospital...he never said no, he added. I feel we are very lucky in Massena to have someone like Sandy. There are not many people willing to give as much of themselves to the community as he does. He wants to be involved, according to the former station manager.
Mr. Cook also replaced Mr. Perry as the voice of Massena High School football when the veteran play by play announcer stepped away from the microphone to assume his managerial duties.
When he took over and started doing football broadcasts, it was something he wanted to do. Hes done a good job with it. He loves sports. I think his lifes secret ambition was to be the play by play announcer for the Buffalo Bills, Mr. Perry said.
Ah, those Buffalo Bills. Mr. Cooks listeners know about the WMSA morning mans love for the Bills. Lets Go Buffalo, a short song celebrating the Bills, is on the airwaves on mornings after Buffalo has had gridiron success. And, as has been the case far too often for Mr. Cooks liking in recent years, when the Bills lose, the morning show will likely include a critique of the teams coaches, play calling, personnel decisions and management.
The host of WMSAs morning Extravaganzas says he loves his job, but he admits there have been a few days in his long career when work was the last place he wanted to be. Ive only had four days when I was hesitant about going to work. Those were the four Mondays after the Bills lost Super Bowls. Im being facetious. Ive never had a day I didnt want to go to work, he said.
Mr. Cook said his love for radio goes back to his childhood. Ive never wanted to be in anything else but radio since an early age. As a three year old I was chasing my mom with a vacuum cleaner hose that I thought was a microphone trying to interview her about current events. A few years later I got a two-sided chalkboard and drew a picture of what I thought was a map of the United States and started practicing to be a tv weatherman, he recalled.
He has had the opportunity to live those dreams from the radio stations studio on Route 420 just outside Massena. Im just talking to people across the table; people that are just getting out of bed and getting their day going. I try to give them a little news and information, the weather, play a little music. Im just trying to get their day off to a good start and provide them with as much community service as possible, Mr. Cook said.
The veteran announcer has served the station under several different owners over the past few years, and there have been some format changes along the way. But the Morning Extravaganzas has been able to maintain its own unique style - a style based on the tradition of the names that built the station from the day it first signed on in the mid 1940s.
Cook is now on the list of names like Garvin, McHugh, Frazier, Burgess, Nash, Gough, LaPage and Perry that are tied to WMSAs history in the community.
There is high turnover in small-market media, and Mr. Perry acknowledges it is unusual in modern radio to find a 40-year man. Many disc jockeys started at small market stations and climb the ladder to medium- and large-market stations. Others tire of a job that requires their day to start when most people are still fast asleep. Were very fortunate. You dont find many in small-town radio where an announcer stays for such a long period of time, Mr. Perry said.
Mr. Cook said there is a reason he has stayed behind the microphone for the past 40 years. Its the people...our listeners. We have a wonderful community, and the north country is a great place to live, he said.
The morning man said this belief was reinforced this week. It was overwhelming to have so many come by with their good wishes and warm greetings. It was touching and humbling at the same time. It makes you understand what your job and the radio station mean to people and what the people mean to you, he noted.
Id like to sincerely thank the listeners who have supported WMSA and me. Without the listeners and the sponsors, we cant do anything. We do the best we can to keep WMSA community centered, Mr. Cook added.
And that focus on the community will start this week with his morning show, and a September calendar that also includes more high school football games and co-hosting the annual Keep the Wheels Rolling, a day-long radiothon for Meals on Wheels.
Its been an absolute blast. Im overwhelmed, quite frankly, by all this attention. Today has been very special. Im looking forward to at least another decade, Mr. Cook told his listeners before taking his headphones off at the end of his remote Tuesday.

So fancy.

It looks like Iggy Azalea's reign is just getting started. Her song "Fancy" has been dominating the charts since its release (six weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart!) and now she's moving on to major magazines. The Australian rapper just landed a Cosmopolitan cover in her home country and it's a stunner. Her beauty look, a soft cat-eye with a pink pout and full brows, might be the best we've seen on Iggy yet. Just saying, if Cara Delevingne needs a partner for her potential tweezer line, she should hook up with Iggy.

Created in 1995 by Sharon Lebon, Three Dots is all about classic style staples. Born in California and relocating to Texas when she was 9, Lebon attended the Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas where she majored in fine arts. She began working in the apparel industry with a job in the Vanity Fair showroom as well as a bikini company where she worked with the Vice President of manufacturing. Her first entrepreneurial start began with her first company she began with her husband. When that company failed, Lebon came up with the concept of Three Dots: a tee shirt made for women with high-quality fabric and a perfect fit. The initial prototype took six months to perfect, but it was indeed perfect. Three Dots was launched with three styles, three sizes, and twelve colors. Within a few short years, Three Dots became synonymous with luxury, American-made, contemporary knitwear for women. Sharon continued adding silhouettes to these essentials building the Three Dots brand, while staying true to her original vision of Pure, American, Luxury. As the company grew, Three Dots expanded to include mens wear, and maternity featuring exclusive knitwear, cashmere, and wovens.
Three Dots, the name meaning more to follow , is all about the basics, and what girl doesnt need a closet full of basics? Perfect for a simple yet elegant style, or for layering during fall and winter, once you buy one of these tees there are sure to be more to follow! With a combination of bright floral patterns and earthy oatmeals and greys, these pieces go with everything and theyre so comfortable youll want to wear them all day and all night. For a night out try the Three Dots High Low Skirt in Black or for a relaxed night at home try the Dolman Hoody in Ova.

Owners of smartphones and tablets in the greater Watertown area are now savoring faster wireless Internet speeds, thanks to upgraded 4G LTE networks launched by Verizon and AT&T.
Last week, Verizon completed its 4G network in the Watertown area by upgrading 10 cell sites downtown that previously offered 3G service. Verizon will continue making upgrades across the north country over the next several months, installing 4G technology at remaining cell sites.
The news means that all 4G mobile devices compatible with Verizon and AT&T have access to the 4G LTE networks in the Watertown area. AT&T completed its 4G LTE network here in late March, about six months earlier than Verizon; its network in the region now encompasses Watertown, Evans Mills, Fort Drum, Black River, Calcium, Philadelphia, Gouverneur, Potsdam, Massena and Lisbon.
The north country is the last region in the state to receive access to 4G wireless technology from Verizon, spokesman John F. OMalley said. The technology giant started upgrading its network in the Syracuse area in 2011, gradually moving north to upgrade its network in Jefferson County. The latest generation of technology eventually made its way to New York state after Verizon unveiled it in 2010 with networks at metropolitan areas.
Verizon has been upgrading cell sites throughout Jefferson County since May, Mr. OMalley said. The majority of the county now has 4G coverage, he said, and the network has been partially upgraded in St. Lawrence County and the Adirondacks region.
Work continued throughout the summer, but we had a few key sites that we wanted to get online to consider the Watertown market launched, Mr. OMalley said. Thats what we accomplished last week by upgrading sites in downtown Watertown.
Those who use 4G technology for the first time will notice an improvement immediately, Mr. OMalley said. Surfing the Web on mobile devices is similar to using a desktop computer on the network. Downloads are up to 10 times faster than on the 3G network, and large documents can be emailed without long waits.
If youre downloading a video in a 3G area, you might see some buffering as it loads, he said. But if youre in a 4G area, youll see a much faster download with no buffering just like watching a video on your TV and computer. If you have a broadband connection on your computer at home, its like youre taking that experience mobilely on your smartphone or tablet.
Historically, AT&T has been a step ahead of Verizon rolling out new wireless technology in the north country. Before upgrading its wireless network to 4G LTE, it previously installed a 4G HSPA+ network in early 2012 that offers only slightly slower speeds, spokeswoman Ellen Webner said. That network is about three times faster than Verizons 3G service.
We built up our higher speed 4G network before Verizon, Ms. Webner said. We already have our 4G network in a greater area, and we are now integrating the 4G LTE technology throughout the north country as quickly as possible.
T-Mobile and Sprint do not offer 4G LTE network service in upstate New York.

Although I remain something of a talk radio junkie, it has been some time since I recognized that the "conservatism" of the air waves is really nothing of the kind. That is, much to my disappointment, it isn't "conservatism" that "conservative" talk radio tends to promote but neoconservatism, or at least Republican Party politics (which is for all practical purposes the same thing). Still, I continue to listen to talk radio regularly, and just as regularly find it instructive. For the latest pearls, I have nationally syndicated host Mike Gallagher to thank. Gallagher expressed incredulity over the response of some "on the left" to the recent killing of Navy Seals in Afghanistan.
The Afghan war, being a decade old, is the longest war that America has ever waged. In spite of this, our military suffered more casualties in a single day this past weekend than it has suffered on any given day since this war began. Not surprisingly, these facts are being taken by an ever growing number of Americans as further confirmation of their skepticism toward this Middle Eastern adventure. Our mission in Afghanistan, they reason, if it ever had any coherence at all, has lost intelligibility: it is time to either radically revisit our objectives or, at long last, to bring the troops home.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball team put together an impressive effort against a deep Knox College squad on Saturday in Flood Arena but saw their comeback fall short in a 108-103 loss.
The first half featured a series of mini runs until the last five minutes. Knox jumped on top early but the Bucs battled back to within 26-25 midway through the half, only to see the Prairie Fire put together a 10-0 run to lead by 11 with 5:43 left. KC led 60-46 at the break.
Knox increased their advantage to 17 points less than a minute into the second half but a 10-0 run by Beloit pulled them back within seven. The deficit stayed in that range for the next eight minutes before the Buccaneers started chipping away. Trailing 100-90 with 4:33 remaining they cut the lead down to three at 105-102 with 1:09 left on Kandace Fox's three-pointer. But Knox made three of four free throws in the final minute to hold on for the win.
The Buccaneers shot 53.5% for the game, including 57.1% in the opening half, but missed on 12 free throws out of their 38.
Fox led the way with 24 points while Lauren McNanna had 21 plus six assists. Lana Wieseman added 17 points and Leah Kruckman a career-high 14. Jenna Larsen grabbed a career-best 16 rebounds.
The Buccaneers celebrate Senior Night on Tuesday against Carroll University in the home finale. Tipoff is at 5:30 p.m.

Washington is going through one of its regular melodramas with President Obama's nomination of former senator Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense. (In light of America's foreign policy, this is a title worthy of George Orwell; the position should be renamed the "secretary of war.")
To Hagel's credit, he has the proper enemies on the right. Neoconservative advocates of perpetual war and global empire couldn't tolerate Hagel running the Pentagon. To hear them tell it, he's a left-wing appeaser. The opposition isn't only from Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol and Sen. Lindsey Graham. The Washington Post has the same concerns: "Mr. Hagel's stated positions on critical issues, ranging from defense spending to Iran, fall well to the left of those pursued by Mr. Obama during his first term — and place him near the fringe of the Senate that would be asked to confirm him."
The anti-Hagel hysteria, however, carries a message different from the one getting all the attention: If Hagel is "out of the mainstream" of foreign-policy thinking, the range of permissible thinking is more narrow than many have suspected. True, Hagel has been critical of some of the overseas military policies pursued by Presidents George W. Bush and Obama, but to suggest he is a radical critic of U.S. militarism and hegemony is absurd.
What about Hagel brings forth this vicious campaign? He has "irresponsibly" suggested that the Pentagon is bloated and in need of a budget trim; had doubts about unilateral sanctions against Iran and about the futility of diplomacy; expressed concerns about a military attack on Iran; criticized the Bush troop surge in Iraq; opposed Obama's Afghanistan surge; intimated that the United States and Israel may not have identical interests; and spoke favorably of negotiations with Hamas and Hezbollah. (The last two things, although routinely voiced in Israel, can get someone in America accused of anti-Semitism, and this ugly label has shamefully been thrown at Hagel.)

Beauty Icon: Esther Williams
- 1 of 23
World War II might have prevented Esther Williams from going to the Olympics in 1940, but that setback led her to Aquacade, the synchronized swimming group that in turn led her to famed producer Louis B. Mayer and an MGM contract. Her films and TV specials were amongst the most popular of the '40s and though Williams passed away last month, she'll always epitomize poolside glamour.
- 2 of 23
As was de rigeur in the '40s, Williams opted for matte skin--even in the pool! Start with Sephora's Mattifying Moisturizer Sunscreen ($22) before using a foundation brush to blend Hourglass' Liquid Powder Mattifying Foundation ($55) all over your face.

Tom Ford's new limited-edition Illuminating Cheek Color ($58) in Bronzed Amber is a bronzer and highlighter in one. Dab onto cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, in your cupid's bow, and in the inner corners of your eyes.

Chantecaille's new 24 Hour Waterproof Liners ($26) aren't lying--they'll stay put through cannonballs, highballs, or both! Draw a thin line of Orchid across the upper lash line before tracing over it with Oolong and using your finger to smudge up and into your eyelid. Finish with at least two coats of M.A.C.'s False Lashes Waterproof ($20) in Black.

A classic look calls for a classic manicure. Use Wet n' Wild's Salon Nail Color ($2) in Red a Good Book on your toes and nails. Finish with Orly's UV Protection Topcoat ($10).

If you're not going to jump in the water, set your hair with hot rollers. Use the largest curlers in Caruso's Professional ProSet Steam Hairsetter ($50) and just barely comb the curls out with your fingers. Spray Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Hairspray with UV Color Shield ($5) all over your hair.
- 10 of 23
Rather wear it up? Tie Saturday's Bandana ($30) in Small Squares around your head a la Rosie the Riveter, let the knot and loose ends lie to the side on top, and use Conair's Firm Hold Bobby Pins ($3) to pull your locks back into a tight knot at the back of your head.
