Conspiracy theorists who suspect there was something Xtremely fishy about Cheryl Cole's sudden exit from US X Factor may have a point.
Nicole Scherzinger's ex-manager Jeff Haddad reckons the former Pussycat Doll was always a dead cert to be on the judging panel.
And he claims poor Chezza was stitched up by Simon Cowell and other US X Factor bosses who used her to "hype and publicise the show".
Jeff, who was Nicole's manager for 13 years but was axed just before she signed up to do X Factor, has been crying conspiracy.
He says: "In my opinion, Simon Cowell always wanted Nicole as a judge. There was never a question that she wouldn't get it. Nicole was always going to be on that panel. Cheryl was just being used as a cog in the wheel to cause hype and publicise the show."
Jeff also tells this week's heat magazine, on sale now, that plans had been in place for a long while for Nicole to be on the panel.
He said: "I had long discussions with Simon about her judging the US show and she was always a front-runner. Cheryl's name never came into it and Nicole was never supposed to be a host. Her hosting the show was never even mentioned."
He also rubbishes reports that it was Cheryl's broad Geordie accent that got her the boot.
Jeff claims: "Cheryl's accent never came into it – it was a cover-up excuse. Americans are used to all sorts of accents – it would have worked in her favour, if anything. Plus, she's a great girl and an accent wouldn't have been a factor in getting rid of her."
Nicole has been on the show for just a week but has already won over the crowds.
My insider at the auditions in Newark, New Jersey, tells me: "From the very first day she was up dancing with people from behind the judges' table. She was confident, bubbly and showed no signs of nerves.
"People commented on the difference between her and Cheryl at the LA and Chicago auditions the previous weeks.
"Simon says Cheryl will definitely feature in the TV show because of the contestants she judged – but it's how they make the transition from Cheryl to Nicole without it looking too strange. They're thinking of billing her as a guest judge."
That would certainly gloss over Cheryl's rapid exit but what of the even bigger problem? How will they explain away her purple flares and 80s bouffant hair?

MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. (AP) — Two people in a car were killed in a collision with a truck just before midnight Wednesday on Highway 18 near the I-90 interchange near Snoqualmie.
The Washington State Patrol says the crash killed a 65-year-old Snoqualmie man and a 47-year-old Enumclaw woman.
Trooper Julie Startup told KING-TV the car was making a U-turn on the highway when it was hit by the semi-truck. The car driver had stopped to help a disabled pickup truck and had picked up the woman passenger.
The semi-truck driver was not injured. He told KIRO-TV he didn't have time to stop.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I also want to know what are more different types of variables available in open office or support it. The thing lies on the type and the place from where the term in executed. Also how to defined the scope of variables. Thanks anyways.

I am happy to announce that we are now able to replace (overlay) catalog records updated in the majority of our regular batch loads such as Serials Solutions, rather than having to remove and then reload them.
Among other benefits, this preserves the catalog key (ckey) which appears in the URL for each record, and therefore means that the permalink URLs in IUCAT will in fact be permanent. In other words, no more "Record not found" errors in WorkFlows or the "We're sorry, but something went wrong" errors in Blacklight IUCAT that would sometimes occur when accessing the detailed record for an e-book or e-journal.
So, for example, if you wanted to link to JSTOR: A History in your LibGuide, webpage or class syllabus, you can now rest easy in the knowledge that it will continue to be accessible at http://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/14638050.
Work is still in progress for records from the Films on Demand and Alexander Street Press collections, as there are some complex issues remaining to resolve with those specific sets.
Many thanks to Spencer Anspach and other library staff in the Technical Services division for their hard work that made this improvement possible!

Bullying Won't Help
Thursday, December 05, 2013
I'm not in high school and haven't been in years. I don't have school-aged kids. I don't even patrol those parts of the internet that tend to attract bullies. But there are MANY ways to be a bully, as this video from Upworthy shows:
I saw this link on my Facebook feed, and it called to me. It called to me because it had a very important message.
First off, yes, being overweight and obese coupled with unhealthy eating choices and an inactive lifestyle isn't healthy and leads to lots of health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. It's a serious issue, and we need to address it. But that doesn't mean sending emails calling another person "fat", a "public humiliation", and such are the way to go.
Before I started on my weight loss journey over a year ago, I hadn't been to a doctor in 4 years. I didn't go, because I knew that the entire time would be telling me I was fat and would get all those health issues with little in the way of tips to actually SOLVE THE PROBLEM. Was it right? Absolutely not. Should I have found a new doctor? Absolutely. But the fact remains the same: I felt bullied. I felt bullied, so instead of opening up to my doctor, I retreated. (And could have quite possibly hurt myself with this behavior!)
Telling people they are fat, sending kids home with "fat notes" - these are NOT ways to get people to change their lifestyle! I know some people mean well! I know my doctor probably meant well when she was talking about my weight. I know that I WANT our kids to be healthy and active and not obese and diabetic. But I knew I was fat, way back then. I wasn't stupid and had to have someone approach me to let me know. I knew - and I just ignored it.
And I didn't have the tools I do now to lose and maintain it. This past year, I have learned SO MUCH about my body and how it reacts to food - the chemicals they put into the junk food to make you eat more, what my body really needs, what my body actually likes if I give it a chance. But it was a journey *I* had to make. ME - not my doctor, not my mom, not my health coach - had to come to the conclusion that enough was enough, that I was ready to learn, that I was ready to start over.
For me, being obese was a part of my food addiction. And like nagging a smoker to stop smoking or asking a gambler just to walk away from the blackjack tables, telling someone they are unhealthy and fat doesn't work.
I feel the better way is to get people to appreciate and love their bodies. When you love yourself and realize how IMPORTANT and WORTH IT you really are, it isn't too far of a leap to go to "Hey, I have some extra pounds - let's see what I can do about that!" And when a person gets to that stage, you can jump in and be a cheering section.
Build people up - don't bully!!

Thanks for the profound blog. I knew I was fat, and having it pointed out to me just intensified the shame and hopelessness. Like you said, I didn't have the proper tools and emotional stability to handle it.
I can lose weight, but I can so easily gain it back that the effort is not really worth it. I stay here at sparks learning the secrets of losing and KEEPING it off. The lifestyle antidote to yo yo weightless. Your blogs help me a lot!

Bullying isn't okay in any situation! I completely agree with this blog.... telling someone they are fat isn't going to make them lose weight or exercise or anything else. I guarantee most overweight people are the first to know they are overweight!

I wish there was a simple solution to help everyone get healthy. There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The problem may be part of food addiction, eating disorder, depression, ignorance, poverty, fear of change, domestic violence, bad habits or many other things. Of course, bullying is never the solution, but I don't know that doctors would ever identify themselves as bullies.
Fortunately, there's no lack of support here.

I think the doctor was just doing their job. The kids getting fat notes, now that's crazy. My doctor told me I needed to lose weight last time I saw him. He then referred me to a dietician who knew next to nothing about vegetarians. It's not that I didn't know what healthy food was or that exercise is good. I just didn't care. He should have referred me to a psychiatrist instead.

Oklahoma City metro-area credit unions offer assistance as furloughs loom
FAA Credit Union and Tinker Federal Credit Union will offer short-term loans and other financial assistance to members who face work furloughs due to the federal sequestration.
Oklahoma City-based FAA Credit Union will offer FAA and other federal employees who receive furlough letters a 60-day, no-interest loan of up to $6,000, among other options.
The credit union has about 48,000 members in central Oklahoma, many of whom are federal employees.
The FAA has about 5,000 employees in Oklahoma City, most at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, who could face work furloughs due to the budget impasse in Washington.
FAA Credit Union also will waive some fees for furloughed workers, including overdraft fees and penalties on early CD withdrawals.
The credit union offered similar arrangements for about 175 FAA workers who were furloughed in 2011, said Steve Rasmussen, president and CEO of FAA Credit Union.
"People seemed to respond favorably to those and we're committed to helping our members in anyway we can," Rasmussen said.
Tinker Federal Credit Union will offer special payment arrangements, waive fees and other services including help to set up a sequestration financial plan for members who receive furlough letters.
Tinker Federal has more than 270,000 members, including large numbers of Tinker Air Force Base employees and family members, said Matthew Stratton, senior vice president of marketing for Tinker Federal.
"We want to work with every member individually," Stratton said. "If they are going to be furloughed — no two members are going to be in the same financial situation because of that — but we have a variety of tools to help."

Believe the eng CO2 sensor light comes on every 60,000 miles. Solution is to take to dealer & have them reset the computer for a small fee of $ 100.00 to $ 150.00. Takes less than 5 minutes to do. Is there a cheaper way to reset computer without damaging something else in emission system.

Former NFL defensive tackle Tommie Harris had a brief stint with Colts and claims that owner Jim Irsay is treating Peyton Manning like an ex-girlfriend after his recent comments essentially bashing Manning.
"I had a chance to be under Jim Irsay when I was with the Colts, and I've got to say he was quite different, a different owner," Harris said on the NFL Network via ProFootballTalk.com. "You know how that ugly girlfriend, she kind of goes away, and then she ends up getting pretty and losing weight and then she ends up getting back healthy? This is the thing, Peyton Manning has become that girlfriend. They got rid of him, thought he was used up, thought his neck was messed up, and went back and became so beautiful."
You just have to love Harris' comparison. It also makes plenty of sense.
I'm sure a part of Irsay thought Manning would never play again or never be as good as he once was after multiple neck procedures and now he's back on top as the NFL's best quarterback.

In 2002, a team of experts came together to create some workable alternatives for delivering truly affordable healthcare to U.S. companies and their employees.
During this tumultuous time, ConnectYourCare became adept at anticipating emerging policies and trends—and responding with common-sense products and innovative tools.
Today, ConnectYourCare is one of the largest and the most responsive providers of uniquely featured Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and retirement health benefit account administration. The plans we offer are fundamentally different—providing feature like flexible funding/financing options and better strategies for driving adoption and guiding usage.
Our approach to consumer directed care is rooted in creating better, more efficient connections among: the people who provide benefits (employers, health plans, financial institutions), the people accessing healthcare services (employees/members), and the people who deliver healthcare services (doctors, nurses, technicians, and other providers.)
Delivering savings/ROI and efficiencies at every turn; giving individuals tools they can use to make better-informed choices, including our renowned service representatives; simplifying the entire process with brilliant customer-focused solutions—and continually developing new features and options—these are the core competencies that have allowed us to grow a loyal and highly satisfied client base of blue-chip organizations of every size across the country.
We believe there is a unique solution for every company.
And we don't stop working until we connect you with the perfect one—a solution that simplifies administration, delivers significant ROI, and leaves employees feeling positive about their future.
How can we help ConnectYourCare?

Fellow Futurist and Keynote Speaker Monty Metzger recorded this video while we were both attending the Monaco Media Forum in November 2009. Some bottom lines:
- Giving fair and reasonable permission is a much better strategy than complaining about so-called digital piracy
- The problems of the music industry are way beyond Spotify, and won't be solved merely by open, free market mechanisms – we need a new, collective digital music license, asap
- Today, music fans want to listen first, and then pay – and the industry insists on the reverse (see WMG's recent 'No' on free streaming in the U.S.). Key question: do they prefer control over compensation??
- To waive a huge stick at the ISPs, and to try make them responsible for solving the music industry's issues, is a very bad idea, and won't put money into anyone's pockets
- The selling of mere 0s and 1s is not really a business anymore – it's no longer about distribution, it's about converting attention into 'new generatives'
The 2nd video is from MIDEM2009 and further elaborates on pretty much the same topics. Enjoy. RT.

Don't rush around to solve problems or everyone in the world. There are Sap and Microsoft who does it. In front of such elephants we are nothing but tiny mouse. So its better not to have a competition with them, instead focus on a small group of people those are willing to pay money for the required solution. This is called a niche market. It is a targetable and focused market. For small businesses the niche market turns out to be an attractive opportunity.
One thing which should be remembered is that niche markets does not exist already. It has to be created by the people by knowing the need, wants and requirements of the addressed people. Niche market is something like a big fish in the small pond rather a small fish in the big pond. It is sometimes also called as micro-marketing.
Elements of niche marketing strategy:
1. Know the needy people: Know the group of people that are actually interested in your goods and services and are willing to pay money also for the solution. The more people you would get the more would be good for your niche market.
2. Set goals: One need to set clear objectives and goals for what actually the business wants by following the approach of niche marketing. Reach new and new customers as they are very essential or the growth of the business.
Importance of Targeting a Niche Market:
So the question arises why to hunt for a deer? Why not hunt a lion where the big flesh is?
Some of the advantages of niche market involves low level of competition, and to become famous in a short span of time. Reaching the target are sometimes easy.
Here are some of the importance of niche market described briefly:
1. Less competition: Well you are a fresher in the industry so its better to fish in a little lake and not look for oceans. The competition in the niche market is very less. One can easily gain a No. 1 spot in the small market. Don't worry the big elephants will not compete with you in the niche market. They will never come down in the small markets as they are too greedy to go in a low revenue market, the niche market. The biggest advantage of less competition is that it can be easily replicated.
2. Easy and cheap: The niche markets are always easy and cheaper. Now suppose if you launch a product that would solve every problem in the world, the how will you endorse the product? How will you advertise on such a large scale? It would be quite difficult.
Having a niche market comparatively is quite soothing. Here you have to target a small audience. You know their requirements. The things get pretty achievable.
3. It pays a lot of money: If you have successively build something that can solve the problem of a finite set of people, than that class of people will pay you a lot of money. The reason for it is that there is exactly one solution in the whole world which satisfies there issue. You are like a solution to their problem. And the people are willing to pay you money also for that. Hence niche market pays you a lot of money for the solution.
4. Become expert and be well known in the community: It becomes easier for other people to know what you actually do and for whom you do, which can eventually make you an expert in that particular field. First of all, the niche market is a small one. The niche market is small one thus you will be well known in a much lesser time. Your identity and profile will grow within the group and will be known to all. Secondly, the topic of interest of the business is very focused one. Since the market is small, it becomes easier to target a particular group who wants a particular solution of their topic.
5. It gives you a specific topic: The niche market is highly saturated and to stand out in the crowd of millions you need to have a specific topic to tackle it. It is important over there to make yourself differentiate from the others. This is when choosing niche becomes very important and we have to be very careful in choosing it.
The focus should be narrowed down.
The market should be targeted and specific.
One needs to have a full detail of the topic of the niche market before landing yourself into it.

Link to Clone Sample Pipe:
Overall Scope:
I am attempting to create an automated and modular email system utilizing Pipes based on logical statements gathered through a form submission. Based upon the answers detailed on the form, an RSS item will be created and the description used as body of an email.
Google Forms > Google Spreadsheets > Publish as CSV > Yahoo Pipes > RSS > IFTTT > Email
Upon submission of the Google Form, a Timestamp is generated to the Spreadsheet in M/D/YYYY h:mm:ss format. I wish to use that timestamp as the pubDate of the item. It seems however, that while the date is kept from the CSV, the time is stripped. This results in all submissions appearing as though they occurred at midnight. This fails to trigger the IFTTT action. I am certain that the formatting needs to be changed here but unsure how to make that happen, which datetime format i should use and how to pass that along through Pipes successfully to the RSS output.
What I've Learned So Far:
I am looking for help in correcting the pubDate situation and building a valid RSS feed so that the result can be viewed in multiple platforms easily and without much variance. I am open to simpler ways of achieving the end result if necessary. I prefer this method as I do not have to pay a third party, I maintain control of the data and eventual HTML formatting and I can also utilize the individual parts for other projects. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Google Form - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qWYmpN3-W27QGedcei8EoaFTy2rg0H_y_fUV6kZeKFk/viewform
I haven't had a look at all the resources provided, but I can confirm that you had a problem translating the date/time to pipe-recognized format. Basically, you need to inverse the time and the date, and use a date builder instead of the date formatter module.
To do so, begin by inserting a regex module before þe loop/date builder module (thus, just after fetching the CSV) with the following inputs:
([0-9/]*) ([0-9:]*)
$2 $1
Then, put a date builder module in the loop module, replacing the current date formatter, with [item.Timestamp] as input. This will generate the full date/time data, usually put in the item.y:published field. From that data, using the date formatter module, you can generate a pubDate which is more decorative than functional to generate any format you want.
here you go :)
Thanks for replying. I have implemented the changes that you detailed here. I am getting the date and time to pull through the pipe with a bit of an issue. Now as the [item.Timestamp] displays HH:MM:SS mm/dd/yyyy, i assign the results to [item.y:published] but the mm/dd are reversed. i submitted a form on June 10 (06/10) and my [y:published] believes that the output should October 6 (10/6). Am I missing something? Thanks.
Well, looks like it works with the day/month inversion you make in the regex, doesn't it?
Apologies for the delay in response. Yes, with the inversion it now functions properly. I also implemented the pubDate as GUID (as you had mentioned in another thread) and it works a treat. It seems to trigger IFTTT properly and the emails come through perfectly. Will update should anything break. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

text: After ATRA, Tax Management Gains Importance Paul Robertson, Daniel B. Eagan February 11, 2013 Americas, Wealth Management The US tax reform just enacted has made effective tax management of portfolios far more valuable for some investors. The old rules of thumb never really worked, but their shortcomings will now cost investors more. The American Tax Relief Act (ATRA) raised the top marginal income tax rate to 43.4%—the highest level since 1986. It also pushed the top capital gains rate from 15% to 23.8%. In a taxable portfolio, every trade has a possible tax impact, and the higher these rates, the greater the impact will be. Once a trade has cleared the basic tax hurdle we discussed in a recent blog posting , the investor (or portfolio manager) must decide which lot to sell first. Most portfolio holdings consist of several tax lots purchased at different times and prices. In choosing which lot to sell first, a tax-aware portfolio manager aims to minimize an investor's current tax payments by picking the one that will generate the lowest tax expense. Most managers resort to a few accounting rules of thumb: HIFO (highest in, first out); LIFO (last in, first out); or FIFO (first in, first out). These techniques are relatively easy to implement but crude. HIFO will sometimes generate the lowest capital gains tax, but not always. If the highest-cost tax lot was bought less than a year ago, it will generate a short-term gain subject to a much higher ordinary income tax rate; in fact, it might incur the largest capital gains tax. LIFO and FIFO have similar limitations. The only surefire way to sell the lots that will generate the lowest taxes is to calculate the tax cost of selling each and every tax lot and then pick the most favorable. Trading on the basis of calculations rather than rules of thumb may provide substantial benefits to all investors with taxable portfolios, but it is likely to be especially helpful to those subject to the new, higher rates. Maximizing after-tax returns is a complex endeavor that in most cases will best be left to professional managers who do a good job of incorporating taxes into their decision making.

Proper outdoor clothing keeps you comfortable but, more importantly, it keeps you safe.
It's surprising parents sometimes don't seem to give much thought to what Scouts wear to a camping trip. If your troop is like mine they will be rained on and experience unseasonably cold temperatures on just about every camp out! Without the right clothing, Scouts will be cold, wet, have a bad experience, and be reluctant to go camping again.
Style, as you may imagine, plays a minor role in comparison to how outdoor clothing functions. functional, practical, outdoor clothing is constructed of the proper fabrics.
This infographic supplies some basic knowledge that will help you choose the right sort of clothing to wear in the outdoors. Get my specific recommendations here.

text: Hello, I have just built a new Red Hat box, using RH 5.0 that I FTP'd from sunsite. I just finished the installation, and the system restarted. When it came up, it said the following: . } . }The usual boot up and hardware detection stuff . } Partition Check: hda: hda1 hda2 hdb: hdb1 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read-only. sh: id: command not found sh: id: command not found sh: id: command not found [: too many arguments sh: id: command not found [root@(none) /]# It does not have my /usr partition mounted, and actually the /etc/mtab file was empty. I manually created it, but it made no real difference. I manually mounted /usr (/dev/hda2). The swap partition is on /dev/hdb (a 130 Mb HD dedicated for swap space. The system is a P100 with 48Mb of RAM. /dev/hda is 2000 Mb, with / being a 150 Mb partition, and /usr being a 200 Mb partition, and /mnt/1 being the remainder. Now I know that "id" is in /usr/bin/ and since /usr is not mounted at this point, it cannot find "id", but why is /usr not mounting? How do i get it to do so? I have tried manually mounting /usr and then running /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, which seems to go okay, but then it just drops me in as root. If I try to to change directory (to the default) is says: sh: /usr/root: no such file or directory In the passwd file, the root shell is /bin/bash and the root home directory is /root This is way too wierd for me - any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rashad.

Leonardo da Vinci is known for the "Mona Lisa" and other art masterpieces. But the Renaissance man also invented fluid dynamics and, perhaps, the scientific method.

Personal entry on MySpace admitted into evidence in Indiana murder case
By Kassity Liu – Edited by Stephanie Weiner
Clark v. State, No. 43C01-0705-FA-127 (Ind. Oct. 15, 2009).
On October 15, the Supreme Court of Indiana affirmed a murder conviction and sentence, rejecting the defendant's claims on appeal, including an argument that the trial court improperly admitted as character evidence an entry he made online on his MySpace page. The defendant claimed the admission was in violation of the Indiana Rules of Evidence.
Internet Cases and the WSJ Law Blog provide an overview of the case. Evidence Prof Blog criticizes the court's reasoning on the MySpace entry issue, noting that the evidence was likely admitted in violation of Indiana Rule of Evidence 404(a), not considered by the court. (more…)

Must Visit Caribbean Fitness Bootcamps
As the trend for new-breed body-changing fitness bootcamps continues to gain global momentum, we take a look at the best the Caribbean fitness scene has to offer.
A bootcamp is an exhilarating and effective way to get fit, shape up, improve cardiovascular health and shed a few pounds (or more). Most participants aren't mega-sleek fitness aficionados but ordinary holidaymakers. They arrive in the Caribbean stodgy, podgy, sun-starved, fatigued and in need of invigorating – and fly home lighter, brighter, a dress size smaller and glowing with self-confidence having achieved a "wow" transformation. In the 1970s, a bootcamp was all about red-faced panting and sweating. Goals were an impossible number of push-ups. Days were filled with physical training led by kick-ass former military personnel. Four decades on, bootcamp exertion remains as tough as heck. Gruelling exercise programmes promise visible transformations. Also sound nutritional advice, fresh juice cleansing, mental re-booting and an invigorating push that really does kick butt.
In the Caribbean, most bootcamp programmes range from between three to seven days and mix circuit training and Pilates with plenty of outdoorsy stuff such as trekking, cycling and hiking. Fitness schedules are tailored to ensure there's plenty of time to soak up the Caribbean sunshine. After a heart-pumping splurge to burn off a zillion calories, hang a hammock from a rustling palm and enjoy a snooze to the sounds of the sea. Don't confuse bootcamp with deprivation either: delicious food is plentiful, the setting luxurious and an absence of iPhone dings guarantees some much-needed tranquillity.
If you enjoy a fitness extreme, try the Bootcamp at the Buccament Bay Resort, led by a duo of former British Royal Marines on the beautiful island of St Vincent. High intensity workouts and ambitious weight-loss goals are combined with tropical island surrounds, and daily fitness schedules run from invigorating hikes to the summit of the active La Soufriere Volcano to cowbells on the beach. Alternatively, you can opt for a fast-paced slog along the Vermont Nature Trails, for which the reward is a cool-off in the sea-spray on the sand. Meals are lovingly prepared using the freshest local Caribbean produce from menus created to offer a perfect nutritional balance.
If achieving a greater balance is your goal, head to St Lucia where bootcampers are offered a retreat away from the daily grind with The Body Holiday. Having weaned themselves off caffeine, soda, sugar, and alcohol, new arrivals are encouraged to throw themselves wholeheartedly into a range of fat-burning activities, from tennis to scuba-diving. The schedule, which runs from dawn until dusk, also suggests some traditional Caribbean methods of relaxation for post-workout downtime. After an energetic morning fitness session on the beach, try a sweat-drenched spinning class before unwinding with a breakfast of exotic fruit served up alongside soothing Calypso rhythms. Next, opt for Zumba or an hour or two of beach volleyball before retreating to the comfort of the spa for a decadent, aromatic oil-drenched massage.
In Barbados, the hard graft starts at twilight on the silky white sands of Brandons Beach. In the safe hands of two body-building Barbadian guys, a legion of bootcampers are put through their paces at Barefoot Bootcamp. Better-than-the-gym results are guaranteed – and your facial muscles will get a workout too. Fun, laughter and camaraderie make these weekly beach sessions hugely popular. No need to book – just turn up with some bottled water, a towel and plenty of grit. You'll make friends, develop lean body mass and learn some impressive Barbadian moves.
Virgin Atlantic operates flights to the Caribbean from London Gatwick. Book your flight today.

Vanessa Hudgens heads to the stage in Neil Patrick Harris' 'Rent'
From "High School" sweetheart to floozy exotic dancer with HIV: such is the linear career of Vanessa Hudgens.
The "High School Musical" star is headed to the stage in another musical, "Rent," to be directed by Broadway and small screen sweetheart Neil Patrick Harris. She will play Mimi.
The production will run Aug. 6-8 at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A.
"She came in for a work session, and I must say, Vanessa really impressed," Harris said in a statement. "She looks amazing, has great vocal chops and seems really committed to honoring the somewhat iconic role of Mimi. I look forward to audiences seeing a dark, edgy and very different side of Vanessa Hudgens this August."
Emmy Award-nominated Harris played Mark Cohen in the 1997 production and national tour of "Rent."
Hudgens trotted out her singing talents in last year's "Bandslam" and will be starring alongside Alex Pettyfer in forthcoming "Beastly," out July 30.

While helping in the search, police say they came across the pot plants in a shed behind a home. After getting a search warrant, police seized 32 plants in varying stages of growth and an undetermined amount of processed marijuana.
Police arrested 29-year-old Joshua Brunelle, who lived in the home.
