Leading Latin American airline,
GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A.
) posted soft traffic results for Aug 2013. However, net
passenger revenue per available seat kilometer (PRASK) for the
month increased 24% year over year, resulting in the 17th
consecutive monthly PRASK rise.
Revenue passenger kilometers or RPK - implying revenue
generated per kilometer per passenger - for the month decreased
11.5% from the year-ago month to 2,728.6 million. Although
international RPK showed an improvement of 17.0%, domestic
activities fell 13.8%.
Available seat kilometers (ASK) - that measures an airline's
passenger carrying capacity - slipped 5.1% year over year to
4,119.8 million. Home ground capacity slipped 7.6%, while on the
international front, ASK increased 22.4%.
Domestic and international load factor decreased 4.8% and
2.8%, respectively, while the consolidated load factor declined
The company's not-so-impressive performance in August was due
to a 9% rise in fuel prices against the comparable month of last
year. The rise was primarily attributable to the depreciation of
Brazilian real against dollar in Aug 2013. The company also
expects fuel price to increase further over the next few months
given the strength of dollar.
Aligning with the current macroeconomic situation, GOL's
decision of decreasing the supply in the domestic market from 7%
in Aug 2012 to 9% in Aug 2013 impacted the carrier's capacity.
Additionally, the increased number of flights to Santo Domingo,
with 85% of available seats for sale in the company's 737-800 NG
aircraft put pressure on its load factor.
To cope with the disappointing results, GOL is consistently
taking steps to enhance its operations. The company is making
attempts to increase its operations at Viracopos Airport, in
Management plans to start six new daily flights from the city
in Sao Paulo, including five to Santos Dumont in Rio de Janeiro
and one to Brasília, from September. GOL has recently enhanced
its loyalty program by establishing a new mileage accrual model
for domestic and international flights.
We believe that GOL's growth initiatives that include
streamlining of supply, introduction of new routes, expansion of
overseas operations, collaboration with other carriers such as
Delta Airlines Inc.
) and purchase of modern and superior jets will aid the company
to perform better going forward.
GOL - which operates with other industry players such as
Copa Holdings SA
) has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Another stock worth mentioning
within this sector is
Hawaiian Holdings Inc.
), which currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

American Idol Runner-up Bo Bice Nominated For VH1 Big Reality Star, Album Due Out In December
October 30, 2005 12:40 PM by Joe Blackmon
Reality TV Magazine reported back in early October that Bo Bice's album had a tentative release date of November 29, 2005. However, a recent Billboard.com article reports that his yet untitled album is now set for a December 13, 2005 release date, still in plenty of time to be the perfect holiday stocking stuffer.
Billboard.com also reports that songs for the album have been submitted by by Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora in collaboration with producer John Shanks, Desmond Child and Marty Frederiksen. There is no official information though if all of these songs made the album. A mention is also made of two Hurricane inspired songs by Bo and his band called "We Can't Change This World" and "Changing for the Better," but there is also no official word on if they will make the album.
For those Bo Bice fans that just can't wait until December 13, there is another Bo Bice CD appearance that they can pick up on November 1. Bo Bice performs "Brown Skin Girl" with Santana on their new "All That I Am" CD. The November 1 release date of the album also happens to be Bo Bice's 30th birthday.
Bo Bice has also been nominated for another award. Earlier this year, Bo received a "Relly Award" for favorite reality contestant form the Regis & Kelly show. Bo is now up for Big Reality Star in the VH1 Big in '05 Awards. Viewers can vote for each category online at http://www.votebig.vh1.com from October 26 to November 16. The winners will be announced on a show airing Sunday, December 4 at 8PM ET.
In addition, Bo Bice is also in a poll on NBC's Toyota Summer Concert Series website. The poll asks fans to vote for their favorite Summer performer, and Bo Bice is currently leading the poll by a wide margin.

Fantastic news for Bo!!!!! Get ready, America, for your next rock superstar. Bo has incredible natural talent and charisma. His music seems to have universal appeal that crosses several generations.

Looking so forward to the new cd from Bo. I bought the Santana cd and love Bo's BSG. I haven't been able to get the song out of my head since I got the cd.
Much love Bo! Keep on rockin!

I did not know Bo was in Geico commercials. What part of the country are they being shown? I am dying to see them. What did you think? Did he look good? Of, course he did what a silly question
Sharon Says:
November 16th, 2005 at 8:01 pm
It is so great to read that Bo is so popular in Asia. Something tells me that he'll do well in other countries also. Unfortunately, this country is so hung up on country music and I don't think Bo's talent is appreciated like it is in Europe, Asia, India and the Islands.

Windows 8 is an odd OS.
I'm not talking about the initial "Who moved my cheese?" shock of the new user interface. You get used to it. After the initial week or two of daily usage, you learn to be just as productive as before.
No, what I'm talking about is Windows Store apps. Windows Store apps are the full-screen apps that launch from your Start Screen tiles when you first log in to Windows 8.
I like Windows Store apps, even though the full-screen experience can be a bit disorienting when you are used to the Windows desktop. The name Windows Store is a bit of a misnomer, because the apps in the store don't have any actual windows. Even after several months of Windows 8 being my primary OS, I still get a bit of vertigo every time I enter full-screen land.
However, the design and typography of full-screen mode makes for a beautiful experience, especially when reading articles. And I expect that once I replace my laptop with a device that has a touch screen, the touch-friendliness will be even more appreciated.
In fact, the only gripe I have about Windows Store apps is that there aren't more of them.
So here is my unabashed plug why You the Company® and You the Individual Developer® should build your own Windows Store apps.
1. Huge Windows Market Share
Even though Windows Store apps run on Windows 8 tablets, they also run on PCs. This is way different from the fragmented worlds of Apple iOS and Mac OS X.
Windows Store apps don't have to rely on the sales of Windows tablets or phones to be successful. Windows already constitutes over 90% market share of all desktop OSs, and over 70%-80% of all device OSs, including mobile!
And while Windows 8 is still a new operating system, it is already selling well and achieved significant buy-in from hardware manufacturers and even the US Department of Defense. Trust me, it will sell, and will attain market dominance in the next three years.
2. Portability
From a consumer standpoint, I like to have access to my apps on whatever machine I'm using. Windows Store apps run natively on both Windows 8 PCs and tablets, without having to wait a year for a company to come out with mobile version of its software.
From an economics standpoint, Windows Store apps are great, because you just develop the code once, and then you automatically get access to markets for both Windows 8 PCs and tablets.
From the standpoint of a developer, I like being able to develop something once and be done. With software, less code not only means less work, but it also means fewer bugs.
With a well-engineered software package that separates the user interface design from the code that does the heavy lifting, you can use the Shared Core feature of Windows Phone 8 to get your Windows Store app to run on Windows Phone 8 with just a little extra UI design work.
And if portability is really your thing, you can use Portable Class Libraries to share your core code with normal .NET applications (including ASP.NET, Windows Forms, and Windows Presentation Foundation programs), Silverlight, Windows Phone 7, and even the Xbox 360.
3. Standing Out
The first thing most people do once they understand how apps work on the Windows 8 Start Screen is open the Store app and start poking around.
Right now, the Windows Store is so new that many of the big name companies haven't yet ported their mobile apps to it.
While this is disappointing from a consumer perspective, this presents smaller businesses and individual developers with amazing opportunities to establish their own branding with fewer competitors.
4. Enterprise-Friendly
Windows Store apps are just full of misnomers. Not only do they not have windows, but you don't even need to distribute them through the Store.
Microsoft System Center 2012 and Windows Intune come with a feature called the Self-Service Portal, which enables businesses to develop their own private Windows Store line of business apps, and then deploy them in-house without ever touching the Windows Store.
The Self-Service Portal also allows you to personalize which apps are available to which user groups, lock down apps on stolen or lost devices, and even revoke privileges to apps entirely once employees leave the company.
As an added bonus, there is no premium account fee for distributing in-house apps to Windows 8 Enterprise devices on your domain. Apple charges $299 for the privilege of bypassing their store.
5. Worldwide Marketplace
Windows enjoys almost universal market share in the world's emerging markets of Asia and South America, where the post-PC age is still hampered by economics and infrastructure. Windows 7 has achieved rapid adoption there, so Windows 8 should have little trouble being accepted as well.
Windows Store apps are perfect for reaching lucrative world markets, since the Windows Store is already available in over 120 countries worldwide.
6. Individual Developers Pay Less
Individual developers pay only $49/year for an account that can distribute apps to both Windows 8 tablets and PCs.
While this can seem like a lot of money to tinkerers used to the one-time Google Play store fee of $25 for developing Android apps, it is still much better than the Apple developer account fee of $99/year for iOS and $99/year more for OS X.
It is easy to justify $4/month for the right to publish your software to the ecosystem that is on the start screen of every Windows 8 device out there. Since Windows 8 sold over 60 million licenses in the first month and a half it was out, it shouldn't take long before the cost-to-audience ratio for Windows 8 becomes more lucrative than for Apple iOS.
So now you have all the reasons you need to justify making a Windows 8 Store app. Do it. Do it now.

All Saints Day Prayer and Meditation
All Saints Prayer
To all Dear Saints who've blazed a trail
That we may see the way
We give our loving thanks
On All Saints Day.
We receive the blessings flowing through the saints to us every time we pray for their intercession. So on this special day in their honor we send them blessings, too.
Here is a meditation in honor of All Saints
Go to your favorite quiet spot to meditate where you will not be disturbed. I prefer the time before retiring as it is very quiet in the household and on the street outside my window.
Prepare your altar by laying out a fresh cloth or wiping it clean. Place flowers, a candle, incense, a special rock or other sacred object you find uplifting.
Wash yourself and put on fresh clothes to symbolize coming to the altar as a new babe, an innocent.
Sit on a cushion with your legs folded in, or sit on a straight back chair with the soles of your feet on the floor for balance.
Fold your hands in your lap or place them face up or face down on your thighs. Close your eyes.
Begin a pattern of even breathing such as 2 counts to breathe in and 2 counts to breathe out and continue this rhythm throughout the meditation, without actually speaking or mentally saying the counts after the first minute.
Take time to appreciate the pathway the saints have taken in their quest to merge with the Divine. Be thankful for their efforts as it has set a beautiful model in our own quest for awareness of Divine Love.
Say a prayer such as the one included above this meditation and extend your feelings of love to you family, friends and our global family, too.
Sit for a few minutes in silence listening to your breath, then open your eyes and stretch out and go on with your day, uplifted with thoughts of love running through your body, heart and soul.
I invite you to join me in a daily group cyber meditation for personal and planetary peace. Click the article here to read about it.

After hitting his first home run of 2012, he said he thinks the chemistry and continuity he has with his teammates has been a big part of that success.
"I feel like the camaraderie on the team is unbelievable. Ben Gamel, Tyler Austin, Angelo Gumbs -- we've all been together since the first day we got drafted -- instructs, Spring Training, to the Dominican together."
The Yankees youngsters haven't just been together; they've won together. Most of the 2012 RiverDogs were part of title winners last year -- either in the New York-Penn League for Staten Island or for the Yankees of the Gulf Coast League. Charleston has never won a South Atlantic League title.
On Wednesday, Williams -- a wiry center fielder listed at 150 pounds -- led the game off with a gap double but was stranded.
"On the double, it was actually a 2-2 count," said Williams. "[Kyle Hallock] is a lefty, and he just threw a fastball and tried to reach the outer corner, and he left it up in the outer half."
The double was just the left-handed-hitting Williams' second extra-base hit against left-handed pitching for the season.
In the second inning, Williams walked as part of a two-run rally started by Gumbs' double. Gumbs, a second base prospect ranked No. 17 in the system, has shown signs of breaking out of an early-season slump with consecutive multi-hit games.
In a four-run fourth that broke the game open, another 2010 draftee, shortstop Cito Culver (No. 9 Yankees prospect), singled as did Williams. Charleston put together the rally through five singles and benefited from two Legends errors.
Austin, the Yankees' No. 15 prospect, led off the seventh with a home run to make the score 7-0. The right fielder's 0-for-4 effort Tuesday marked the first time he hadn't had a hit since his first game of the season April 6. Wednesday's home run to right -- his fifth of the season -- ensured the hit drought would be brief and kept Austin in second in the South Atlantic League in total bases with 52.
Charleston capped its scoring in the eighth when Williams and Anderson Feliz hit back-to-back solo shots off Lexington reliever Tanner Bushue, the Astros' No. 12 prospect.
"On the home run, it was actually a 1-2 count, and he tried to throw the fastball inside, and I tried to throw my hands at it and it left the ballpark," said Williams simply. It was his fourth professional home run in 362 at-bats.
With the four-hit day, Williams raised his average to .347 and now has eight multi-hit performances in his last 11 games. He's reached base in 15 straight games.
"I really think it's a confidence thing right now," said Williams of his success at the plate. "I'm a confident player, and my swing has been feeling pretty good the last few games."
Williams has picked up where he left off after a breakout 2011 season for Staten Island, one that rocketed the Winter Garden, Fla., native up prospect rankings list. Williams finished second in the New York-Penn League in batting average at .349, had 10 more hits than anyone else in the circuit and tied for the league lead with 28 stolen bases. Despite only hitting three home runs, Williams finished second in the NYPL in total bases with 126.
His performance at Staten Island helped lift him to No. 73 on MLB.com's list of top prospects entering the season, and Williams admits he's more visible than he once was.
"I definitely have a bigger fan base than last year," said Williams. "But it still comes down to performing and playing hard every day."

Pretty good, for just a standard ash-catches-another-pokémon episode. not like some where the pokemon barely knows him.
Pretty good, for just a standard ash-catches-another-pokémon episode. not like some where the pokemon barely knows him.
I really need something to put here.
Satoshi having a Kimori is surely the best Pokémon in Hoenn. Even Masato did say to Haruka that he would pick Kimori instead of Achamo.
That Kimori Satoshi owns has leading talent before he was captured.
I really felt for the tree, the episode got better as it progressed
Funny how Ash assumed Team Rocket stole Cacnea.
Never thought I'd see an old man Treecko. That was pretty funny.
My top favorites
Claimed by me!
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" - Sgt. Greg Parker, SRU
I really enjoyed how sassy Treecko was here; he seemed really cool. Treecko's short battle with Pikachu was also interesting since both relied on speed, and I cackled at Meowth imagining Treecko giving Giovanni a massage. Anyway, seeing Treecko tend to the tree was cute, as was seeing Ash help him. The elder Treecko irked me though.
This was a super badass episode as well, Treecko is instantly strong, despite not knowing a grass move, and it's personality was original at the time, and I still think it pulls it off the best. One thing that stood out was the super old treecko, even back then, I wondered why it had not evolved yet.
and so Ash's future uber is cought.

The old Treecko was quite mysterious and interesting; I would have thought of it as an old Sceptile instead. Best part was when Ash caught Treecko, who will become his strongest Hoenn Pokémon (it could even beat Winona's Altaria in a later episode despite a type disadvantage). So happy that he caught it, now has at least something other than Pikachu and Taillow.

text: Are you a Light Assault enthusiast? Do you employ cunning and subterfuge into your attack strategy? Uninterested in other outfits which may promote zergs and ghost capping? Does the idea of working with a small team of other like-minded players peak your interest? Eleventh Hour is a new outfit with the goal of breaking away from the normal outfit command structure in which quantity is deemed to be a quality. In this outfit you are not just another person bearing an outfit tag thrown into the platoon. For what we are to accomplish, you will need to be a skilled member and your actions within the squad will matter. On to the Q&A: Q: A Light Assault outfit.. so just the use of one class? A: For the most part, yes. There may be times in which a medic and/or engineer for health and ammo will be required but it will be common to only employ LA's for our missions. It would be very hard for other classes to keep up as we maneuver and scale walls, towers and bases in an orderly fashion. Although in most battles other members of our empire can provide such services if needed. When we're not running missions you're obviously free to do whatever you want but being as what this outfit is you're encouraged to hone in on your abilities as an LA. I'd argue this class has the highest skill cap, there's always room for improvement! Q: And vehicles? A: Flashes and Galaxies as our modes of transportation to compliment the "fast attack" nature of things. Depending on the mission I may fly/drop in alone to avoid too much attention and place a beacon in which the entire squad will drop on a marked area. We'll bring in Sunderers if we can as well obviously. If enough people have decked out Flashes running a "quad squad" could be enjoyable from time to time. Q: Why so limited? A: Because other outfits provides everything else in battles. If we operate like the rest we'll be seen just as the rest. This is for us to make an impact in a big fight without being "that no-skill zerg outfit". It's the same reason as to why I'm not joining a larger outfit just to run a light assault-only squad. The squad's contributions will be overshadowed, and the members of such a squad will more than likely not have the enthusiasm, skill and discipline i seek. Q: You hint at being a small unit. How small? A: My goal is to have a dozen members on when we run missions. I would not like to ever field more than two full squads at any one time. Infiltrating becomes that much harder with more people, flanking becomes that much harder, trying to draw less attention becomes that much harder.. you get the idea. One full squad is ideal for what we are to accomplish. Q: What's the command structure of the outfit like? A: If we're running just the one squad it'll usually be myself at the helm. Sometimes we'll split into 2 half-squads in which case we can randomly or by request choose the other squad leader. So nothing fancy, really. Q: You expect me to believe that a squad of only light assaults is to have success and make an impact? A: Yes. Granted the rest of the empire supporting the fight pulls their own weight. There's only so much a small team regardless of group composition can do in a game on a scale as big as this alone in a massive fight. Q: What timezone are you? A: East Coast. I usually stay on late for my time though. Q: I don't play much. Do i have to be on at specific times/every so often? A: Nope, play whenever it doesn't matter to me. RL comes first. Q: Got a website? Third-party VOIP? Do i need to submit an application? A: Nope, nope, and nope! No useless website that will go unused, no third party VOIP because the in-game one works just fine for a squad sized outfit, and you do not need to submit an application as if you're applying for a job. Q: But surely there are requirements then? A: Yes. a. At least a BR of 20. b. Certs in the LA tree. c. A mic. You don't have to be a social butterfly but if you spot something in a fight which may result in our destruction I fully expect you to be vocal and call it out. Q: Reasons for them and any exceptions? A: Exceptions, maybe. Reasons for those requirements are to ensure that people who will be joining are somewhat competent, can shoot, and will be able to keep up with the rest of the squad. If someone is playing alongside a squad who has 5/5 Jetpack and is 1/5 themselves, they'll not only slow the squad down but might not even be able to reach some places the rest of us can. I fully expect each member to pull their own weight. If it becomes apparent that you're in fact dead weight I'll note it and encourage you to step up your game. If you can't then this isn't the outfit for you. It's not fair to those who depend on you to do your part but who end up carrying you instead. I simply need people who know what they're doing if we are to accomplish anything. Q: Is there certain equipment i should be expected to have have/certed? A: Absolutely. C4, needless to say is required. It would also be good to have a short range and medium range weapon. The stock Mercenary carbine works well in both roles if certed properly. I won't require specific guns to be used depending on whether we're defending from longer range or going on the attack, i only expect you to be able to work with your chosen weapon efficiently for your current role. Q: Will there be training? A: Yes, but as i seek LA-centric players, i expect most of them to already know the ins and outs of base layouts, how to take risks and what risks to take, and so on and so forth. But just so that everyone is on the same page we may brush up on tactics and do recaps. When entering a fight as a leader i should have a plan with a goal and it's important that people know how to operate. This should become, if it's not already, second nature. Training will not be about elementary aspects like how to shoot, but about how to work together as a unit, how to effectively use your equipment with one another, etc. Q: So how does recruitment work then? A: It helps to first post a reply here saying you're interested and who your character's name is. Then send me, DJPenguin, a friend request in game. We'll meet up and you'll show me you're the real deal. This is not an outfit for everyone and anyone to join, members will be hand-picked. Q: Are you a super serious try-hard who nerd rages? A: Unless me wanting to have competent squad mates makes me super serious then no. I also never rage. I have friends who I've played with for nearly 10 years that can vouch for me when i say I've never raged, never less even yelled at something. I'm quite cool and collected, have a good sense of humor and a ball busting east coast attitude. As a final note, i just want this to be a different and fun way to play the game which often becomes either a mindless zerg or ghost capping-fest. We may not successfully capture or defend everything we try to, but at the end of the day if we had a good time then it's been a success in my opinion. As this will be a new outfit, patience will be needed as the structure is laid out, as we get to know one another, and as we inevitably mold into an elite fighting machine. Got questions or comments? Let me hear 'em.

No loss again, but interesting discoveries!
Sunday, September 09, 2012
I did not lose again this week. I did have a piece of chocolate cake, and a few cookies this week, though. And those indulgences led to some interesting discoveries.
I am fairly certain that sugar causes my migraines. I didn't have ANY migraines for almost 2 months - which is pretty unheard of for me. They seem to come around the time of my period, but while I was following the dietician's plan, even during my period I didn't get any. Since I started having a few bits of sugar now and then, I've had multiple migraines. The morning after having cake, I woke up with one. Last night I had 2 small cookies, and this morning I woke up with one.
It's one thing when the insides of your body are doing unheard of things when you eat sugar, but you never actually feel the effects. FEELING the effects makes the reaction I have SO MUCH MORE REAL. It totally lessens my desire to eat sugar - even with those cookies staring me in the face as we speak - knowing how I feel. Headaches are like my achilles heel - more debilitating to me than almost any other ailment I've ever had. So a migraine is worse than that - and now that I feel like I know what causes them, knowing I can AVOID them?? Talk about power!
So, I didn't lose this week. But I can tell I toned up. I have back muscles now! Like...RIPPLES in my back that are NOT fat! My students noticed my arm muscles this week and one of them (he's 12, but about 6'2 and 250 lbs of pure muscle - other students mistook him for the new PE teacher) challenged me to arm wrestle. So changes are happening. I am going to make it a point to measure myself today and see if anything else is changing. My clothes are all fitting well, my new pants are even starting to get a little loose - I don't have to unbutton them to pull them down. So progress is being made.
Honestly, I'd be fine staying at 183 for the rest of my life if I could continue to lose inches and tone up. I'd like to be around a size 6-8 or so ideally, and if I stay at 183 to do that, so be it. I don't see that happening, as I'm only 5'2 and right now I'm a 12-14, but hey, our bodies are mysterious like that.
As far as the house goes, we tore out the bathroom vanity this morning! I am going to spend my day framing out that bathroom wall behind the toilet, and then this week we will get the floor installed and next weekend we'll get the paneling up! Then we put in the new vanity, new toilet, and viola it's done! HOORAY!!!

Wow that is quite a discovery! So great to hear you can avoid your migraines! I deal with a lot of ppl with food allergies at my job. I heard about a little old woman who passes out from eating chocolate even a small bit. Her family was getting her carob. Have you tried carob products instead yet? They take a little getting used to but they make a good sub in a pinch. Love carob raisins. Congrats on your ripples, makes me wanna hit the weight room! Keep up your awesome work!

Awesome that you found out what triggers your migraines. That can be more than half the battle. I would love to tone up like you are. Work in progress right :) I think there would have to be a stall in loss as fat and muscle switch places. I think you will start seeing scale movement again soon. You are doing such a great job!

Wow! Sounds like you're doing great! And discovering the migraine source is a wonderful thing. I used to get them around that time of the month too. But I got that fixed. :) Haven't had one in years (knock on wood). Best of luck on your journey.

With the pretty town of Deauville, long stretch of coastline, and a large variety of courses, Normandy provides a beautiful location for a golf holiday. Let's take a look at some of our favourite layouts across the region…
Set along chalk cliffs near Le Havre, Golf Club d'Étretat provides some superb holes dangerously close to the cliffs edge. When the wind is up Etretat is a stern challenge, and with beautiful views over the English Channel, this course is an absolute cracker.More...

From Jacksonville right down to Miami, it's the golf state that has it all. Here's just a few of our favourites that could be the perfect destination for your next Florida golf holiday.
Built by the legendary Pete Dye on what was Florida swampland, the legendary Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass is the ultimate golfing challenge, with water, waste-bunkers and even alligators lying in wait. This magnificent layout builds and builds to an epic, water-strewn Par 5/3/4 finish that strikes fear into the hearts of Tour Pros and hackers alike, not least at the iconic island green 17th. More than 150,000 balls end up submerged there every year… will yours? More...

We booked more golf holidays for more than 200,000 golfers in 2015 - but where do the staff at Golfbreaks.com like to play & stay?
Here's a few of our favourite trips of last year and top tips for 2016…
Joe Bowrey, ROW Sales - Yas Links, Abu Dhabi
With views of the sea to one side, the Abu Dhabi race track on the other and some of the best par threes you'll ever play, this Kyle Phillips desert links is unbelievably good.. I loved it. Fully deserves its tag as one of the world's best new courses.
Thomas Duncombe, Marketing Executive - Royal Lytham and St Anne's, Blackpool
Despite my terrible play, I've never had so much fun on a golf course. Royal Lytham is a pure links layout, with so many challenging and rewarding holes – not to mention a warm welcome and a great club sandwich!
Andrew Stanley, Chief Executive - Golf de Chiberta, Biarritz, France
A great test of golf with a mixture of stunning links and lovely tree-lined holes. Everyone in our group loved this course and it was a highlight of a superb tour of the area. Biarritz is a great option if you're after somewhere new to try.
Nick Roberts, UK Product Manager - St Andrews, Fife
I played the Old Course six weeks before The Open… what an experience that was! You can't beat the adrenaline rush off the first tee and the warm round of applause you receive when you hole your last putt on the 18th! A post-round drink in The Jigger Inn is a must!
Michael Birch, Group Partnerships Manager - Quinta do Lago (North), Algarve, Portugal
I loved this superbly re-modelled course by Paul McGinley, set within the great backdrop of the Quinta do Lago estate. Conditioning is amazing and the greens are lightning fast… a Tour course in the future perhaps.
Francis Cox, EU Sales - La Manga, Spain
The best course I played in 2015 this year was the South Course at La Manga. Challenging for low handicappers and enjoyable for low handicappers, it's got the lot. The Venue Hotel Principe Felipe is fantastic value for money and has wonderful service.
Daniel Grave, Founding Director Golfbreaks.com & CEO of Golfbreaks USA - A trip to the Masters
Walking through the gates of Augusta National for the first time and seeing the most beautifully manicured golf course in the world will blow your mind! Combine with pre/post trips to Kiawah or Hilton Head for the ultimate bucket list trip!
Tom Clayton, PGA Sales - Las Colinas Resort, Alicante, Spain
A fantastic resort just 50 minutes from Alicante airport with an unexpectedly excellent course on what is a vast plot of land. Definitely my tip for a great value trip away.. book for June for the best prices and free buggies!
Richard Green, PR Manager - Belle Dune, France
A golf break to Le Touquet rarely disappoints and this year's certainly didn't. The newly renovated courses at Hardelot were excellent, but we all look forward to playing the aptly named Belle Dune above all others. Dinner at Perard is also a must, if only for the legendary fish soup.
Gary Williams, Marketing Executive - Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai
The Earth course hosts the Tour Championship but I actually preferred the Fire course… with its red sand bunkers it's an amazing visual spectacle. And the greens are probably the best I've ever putted on.
Rhys Howell, ROW Product Manager - Grand National Golf Club, Auburn, Alabama
The Lake Course is the best on the Robert Trent Jones Trail, with 12 holes hugging the shore of Lake Saugahatchee. The signature hole is the island green par-3 15th which is played from an elevated tee...just the 230 yards off the tips! This course is also home to the PGA TOUR's Barbasol Championship and will only cost you around $60 to play...bargain!
Nick Liddle, Digital Marketing Manager - Fairmont St Andrews, Fife
If a visit to St Andrews is something to tick off, do it in style and stay at the luxurious Fairmont, making sure you play onsite at least once. I've played lots of resort courses across Europe and I have to say the Torrance course really stands out, with great views and some challenging holes. The hotel is great too.
Ben Gayton, EU Product Manager - Quinta da Ria, Algarve, Portugal
I love the Algarve to bits, but in the height of summer it can be a bit crowded – so Quinta da Ria, in the Eastern Algarve, was a real find. Close to the lovely little village of Tavira and with two immaculate courses, it's a lovely place to play.
David Orchard, UK Sales - St Mellion (Nicklaus), Cornwall
Not one for the faint hearted, this is a true test of golf for all abilities. Watch out for the 12th - quite possibly the trickiest, tree lined par 5 I have played. Bring your 'A' game!
Sam Barker, Head of Sales - Old Corkscrew Golf Club, Naples, Florida
This went straight into my Top 10 courses of all time! A stunning tree-lined course with some of the best par 5's I have ever played. Each was over 500 yards with water well placed to make it interesting but playable. A real hidden gem.
Michael Birch, Group Partnerships Manager - The Grove, Hertfordshire
I'm really looking forward to the British Masters taking place there in October. Five-star all the way, this is an amazing venue with incredible facilities and a stunning hotel.
Joseph Dent, USA Sales - Marriott Marco Island, Florida
A perfect getaway destination for relaxing, sunshine and amazing golf, it's ideally situated to combine as part of a tour with Miami or Naples. One of my favourite US destinations.
Joe Bowrey, ROW Sales - Marrakech, Morocco
Wonderful hotels, amazing site-seeing and cheap flights from the UK – not to mention some truly excellent golf courses – have put Marrakech well and truly on the golfing map. Definitely one to tick off the list in 2016.
Nick Roberts, UK Product Manager - Royal Cinque Ports, Kent
A thoroughly enjoyable links course that's hosted two Opens. Beware the wind factor - you may think after 11 holes the course is easy, but as you turn for home on the 12th it becomes so tough.
Cameron Ritchie, EU Product Manager - Pestana Vila Sol, Algarve, Portugal
If you want a weekend escape I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's semi all-inclusive (meaning breakfast, dinner and evening drinks included) and within just a few minutes' walk of the famous Vilamoura marina, making it perfect for groups.
Andrew Stanley, Chief Executive - Turnberry (Ailsa), Ayrshire
Like everyone else in the company I can't wait to play the new layout. The new holes look amazing and will breathe new life into the course. Sign me up now!
Nick Liddle, Digital Marketing Manager - Take a UK City Tour
Granted you don't get the same sensation of 'going on holiday', but there are some fantastic golf destinations just waiting to be discovered. Yes there are the big-name areas like East Lothian and Southport but don't ignore likes of Nottingham, Bristol, Swansea and Bournemouth.
Gary Williams, Marketing Executive - Le Golf National, Paris
I'm really looking forward to experiencing the 2018 Ryder Cup venue. Lots of renovation work has been going on and I can't wait to see the finished product… particularly the closing stretch with so much water in play.
Thomas Duncombe, Marketing Executive - Aberdovey, Wales
Sadly we were unable to experience the signature par 3 12th due to it being destroyed by a storm earlier in the year… but what a course this is, I'm really looking forward to playing it again in 2016. A truly vintage links!
Richard Green, PR Manager - Northern Ireland
With Golf Digest ranking Royal County Down as the World's No.1 course and Royal Portrush being awarded the Open in 2019 I can't wait to get over to Northern Ireland. Add in Portstewart and you've got a truly great triumvirate. Castlerock, Ballycastle and Ardglass should supply a 'hidden gem' fix.
Ben Gayton, EU Product Manager - Amendoeira Golf Resort, Algarve, Portugal
Given that it has two brilliant courses (from Faldo and Christy O'Connor) and a range of apartments and villas for all party sizes, I can't think of a better value resort in Europe. All just a short drive from Faro airport too.
Tom Clayton, PGA Sales - Go somewhere different!
Although it is tempting to stick to the old faithfuls of the Algarve and Costa Del Sol, I'm looking forward to visiting some of the hidden gems of Europe, especially around the Lisbon area and Spain's Costa Dorada.

When it comes to a weekend golf break away, Le Touquet really is the destination that has it all – great golf, plenty of nightlife, easy access and superb value are all par for the course in Northern France.
One of the most scenic and inviting courses in France, Belle Dune is quite rightly a huge favourite with Golfbreaks.com customers. Moving from pretty woodlands into the giant dunes of the Fort Mahon Plage, a round at Belle Dune is always a wonderful experience. Lunch and a beer on the terrace by the lake is a must.More...

Found in some of France's most beautiful tourist hotspots, the Najeti Hotel brand is one of a kind. Unique in their own way and stylishly French in another, the group boast eight hotels and three golf courses spread across France.
The flagship property is the European Challenge Tour venue of Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club, where 27 holes flow through the picturesque Aa Valley, just a short drive from the Eurotunnel and Ferry Ports at Calais. Having recently been awarded No. 1 over the 20 golf courses in Nord – Pas de Calais and 43rd over the 619 golf courses in France by Leadingcourse.com, Saint-Omer provides a great stop for any golf holiday in France.

We caught up with Five Live's golf man to discuss playing with Alliss, Monty's grip, the best course you've never heard of and his new book on the Majors.
I've always held a theory that the more you work in golf, the less you play. It's been a real struggle to hold onto a single-figure handicap but I'm working on that and starting to turn the corner. Fortunately my wife and son play so there's always an excuse to go and play.
I've shot a gross 74 three times on par-71 courses... twice at Hampton Court and once at Cosby in Leicestershire where I grew up.
Lightness of grip. Monty goes on about it a lot, and if he was holding a clinic he would say, 'I guarantee you are holding the club tighter than I am.' I often think about that when things are going awry - slow things down, check your grip pressure and especially on putts. On bad putting days I am certainly holding the club too tightly.More...

In just 20 years Belek has gone from a golfing backwater to a bona-fide big-hitter of the European game, thanks largely to its combination of superb courses, five-star all-inclusive accommodation and no less than 300 days of sunshine every year. Here's some of our favourites.
With three loops of nine designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo – making three very different challenges - there's plenty of great golf to be found among the pine forests and sandy ridges of Cornelia. Featuring tricky doglegs and shimmering lakes, the course is a strategic masterpiece that is extremely highly rated.

Pros: One of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in. It was spotless, not a dust particle to be found. No bedbugs. Very quiet room. I had requested upper level, but the property is in the midst of remodeling top two floors; the desk clerk gave me a room in a corner of the building that had it's own entrance... More

Welcome to Steve Gould Photography. I am a San Diego photographer, and I specialize in landscape, nature, wildlife, and underwater photography from around the world. My images are available either as custom fine art prints or as stock photography. You can see many of my favorite images on the Galleries pages. There are galleries for many of our Western states, as well as for other parts of the world where I have traveled; I have been to six of the seven continents, Australia being the one still to come. And, there are galleries for underwater images from many of the best diving areas of the world.
You'll find information on my background and photography on the About Steve page.
Twin Lights Publishers' has published my new book, "San Diego: A Photographic Portrait", and it is now available online at Amazon, and various Barnes & Noble locations in San Diego, as well as at Warwick's, Bay Books, Upstart Crow Book, Hotel Del Coronado, and other San Diego locations.

The first six images on the Home Page are from my second trip to the Southern Ocean, 2013-14, and the next six images are from my recent trip to Alaska in June 2015. These give a taste of my new solo exhibition, "Polar Opposites", in San Diego, December 2-14.
The second trip to Antarctica, South Georgia Island, and the Falkland Islands, was again with Cheesemans Ecology Safaris. While we went to many of the same places, those experiences were still different and new: the weather, the amount of snow and ice, the size of the colonies, and often the drama. We also got to some wonderful locations we had missed the first time - especially St. Andrews Bay, Gold Harbor, and Cooper Bay on South Georgia Island - and some new ones for Cheesemans. The latter included Cooper Island on S. Georgia Island, and Danco and Yalour Islands in Antarctica.
In June, I made my first trip to Alaska: a three-week adventure with Cheesemans Ecology Safaris. There were only seven of us, plus our leader, Hugh Rose (who had been Expedition Leader on our 2013-14 return to the Southern Ocean). We all met up at Prudhoe Bay, and traveled in Hugh's custom van for the next two weeks. We moved through the tundra, then the Brooks Range, overnighted in Fairbanks, and then went to Denali National Park, finally arriving in Anchorage. We gave up the van, and went on a small charter boat on Prince William Sound, returned to Anchorage, flew in small planes to Lake Clark National Park for the grizzly bears, and then flew back to Anchorage.
I'm pleased to let you know that I am represented by the Front Porch Gallery in Carlsbad, California. Please visit if you're in the area.
"Polar Opposites", December 2 – 14 2015, Gallery 21, Spanish Village Art Center, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA; a solo show with images from my second trip to Antarctica and from my recent trip to Alaska.

We are an average team having fun. One issue we have struggled with on all our tandems, but more so on the road is monitoring stoker effort. I appreciate her amount of power, but some times we need less peak output and more constant power delivery.
We have tried a bunch of different HRMs in an effort to put the stokers HR in front of the captain so I could better see how shes doing and make better gear choices or read through her "I'm ok we don't need to stop" as we pass by a 7-11 or cool spot along the ocean.
Jeanne hurt her knee recently and is healing well (no evil comments TG, special tape is done for now). Our friend that is a former Australian National Triathlon champ and one of the girls helping with her PT mandated we start actually monitoring cadence. My non exact was not good enough, but turned out pretty close.
We got a Sigma ROX 9.0, primarily for cadence, as luck would have it, the stoker HR can be detected on the main unit mounted on the captains stem.
With several rides now done with the ROX 9.0, it is proving well worth the money as it lets the effort needed and output keep things well under control.
The downside of the unit, and a screen I may disable is the ambient temp. Headed South along A1A, into a 25 mph headwind, for over thirty miles was showing over 103°f. Pretty discouraging info. I don't need to select it, but was curious.
Also, the altitude function on the ROX 9.0 does work, but is barometric based and obviously varies constantly as the day changes, so don't count on that function as accurate. Percent of grade may also be barometric, so it's accuracy may not be that accurate either. It reads 0 along the ocean.
Just a FWIW topic. So far so good with all (3) of our various Sigma HRMs.

Complete 2012-2013 European Bond Issuance CalendarSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/19/2012 09:40 -0400
Now that those so inclined are once again advised to wake up at 4 am in the morning just to keep track of the Bid To Cover of each and every blowing out European auction (which absent a few trillion in ECB liquidity would be a sheer disaster), just like in the summer and fall of 2011 (but remember, according to Jim O'Neill 2012 is "nothing like 2011"), it would be useful to have an updated calendar of all the action in Europe for the rest of the year. So courtesy of Goldman, here it is: set your alarms.
Forget China, The USA Is Leading The World Out Of SlowdownSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/03/2012 12:45 -0400
Concerned about European bank deleveraging impacting Emerging Market growth prospects? Worried over Global Trade Volumes dropping and a multi-decade low in the Baltic Dry? Fearsome of record inventories for commodities in China and the potential for a harder landing from credit contraction in the shadow banking system? Concerned that Europe's sovereign and financial insolvency problems are not all gone? Worry no more. It appears, and who are we to argue with the data, that the USA is in fact leading the world out of this global growth slowdown with its Composite PMIs the highest of all the major growth drivers. From Markit Economics, we see that perhaps Goldman's Jim O'Neill will have to change his famous acronym to UBRIC as the decoupling myth (not a lag or inventory cycle) remains firmly in place (and the record-breaking jumps in some of the US Services PMI sub-indices should be treated with all the respect in the world).
Goldman Misses Top Line, Beats EPS On Comp Cut, Pays Average Employee $367,057 In 2011Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/18/2012 09:08 -0400
Cutting down to the chase on Goldman's numbers, the top line was weak, with the company reporting $6.05 billion in total Q4 revenue on expectations of $6.39 billion. The primary reason was a decline in all segments Year over Year with Investment Banking tumbling 43% to $863 Million, Institutional Client Sales down 16% to $3.1 billion, Investment Management down 16% (great work Jim O'Neill) to $1.3 billion, and finally Goldman Prop, or as it is politically correctly now known, Investing and Lending, down 56% to just $872 million, although much better than the massive Q3 loss of $2.5 billion. All this was offset by compensation benefits of $2.2 billion, which resulted in a Q4 Compensation Margin of 36.5%, down from the 44.5% average previously in 2011. As a reminder, back in Q4 2009, Goldman had negative compensation expense of $519 million to make its EPS. The result was total comp of $12.2 billion in 2011, or 42.4% compensation payoff, compared to $15.4 billion in 2010. Yet since the company let the axe fly, cutting total staff from 35,700 at December 31, 2010 to 33,300 at year end 2011, or the lowest since Q1 2010, average trailing 12 month compensation per employee rose to $367,057.06, also known as "not much" for Mitt Romney.

Goldman's Jim O'Neill Is Now Officially A Completely Broken RecordSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/01/2012 14:02 -0400
How Jim O'Neill still has a job is beyond us. Not only is he the head of the worst performing vertical at Goldman Sachs, not only is he the creator of the Bloody Ridiculous Investment Concept (BRIC), but now this? Come on...

Nice. Hot bodies and exiting composition. The elbow looks kind of brused though, but I understand that it's hard to make it look like it is coming right at the viewer. In the sircumstance you've made it quite well. Nice shadows and the diagonal backround gives it extra exitement as well.

Philadelphia has at various times in its history been a leader not only in industry, shipping, trade, and banking, but also in medicine, science, architecture, and art. It has long been a favorite research topic of historians, sociologists, and architectural historians—and, since the 1950s, of archaeologists as well. Philadelphia has, in fact, received more archaeological attention than any other major city in North America. Given its place in history and its numerous historic sites, the amount of archaeological attention the city has received is not surprising. What is perhaps surprising is that the reports of these investigations have for the most part never been formally published, let alone brought together in a single volume. The purpose of this book is to summarize in as readable a fashion as possible the results of over thirty years of archaeological work—nearly 300 reports of some 150 site investigations—in Philadelphia and its environs.
In the 1960s the pioneer modern dancer Ted Shawn offered this advice to his trainees at Jacob's Pillow: "Too many dancers today are satisfied with technical accomplishments.... I will always give my accolades to those dancers, who, having mastered the language, say something." Archaeology, like dancing, involves both technique and interpretation. Its technical accomplishments should likewise enable the practitioner to say something, and that something should be worthy of note, a contribution to the body of knowledge that makes up the archaeological record. While archaeological investigations of Philadelphia sites have not always produced hoped- for results, they have invariably in some measure enhanced our knowledge of the city's cultural past.
In this review of Philadelphia archaeology, the reader should be able to perceive why an investigation was undertaken, what it accomplished, and what it means. Readers seeking extensive new light on the past may be disappointed. The presentation invokes no tablet of laws interpreting the cultural identity of Philadelphians. Rather, it presents the physical evidence of the past, which can and often does fill in gaps and illuminate the historical record. Our intent is to place the archaeological findings so far made in a major metropolitan area in the context of history and to let those findings speak for themselves. Our hope is that the book will succeed in inserting some meaningful threads of archaeological evidence into the historical tapestry, and that it will fill out the pattern and add texture and color.

The Weirdest Shopping Malls in the WorldTags: architecture travel, best shopping malls, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, odd malls, oddest structures, shopping mall architecture, Singapore, travel shopping, UK travel, weird malls
Who doesn't enjoy shopping? Even if one doesn't derive complete enjoyment from this activity, it is still a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Perhaps catering to these kinds of people, several places in the world have created weird shopping centers that will not only entice you to purchase items, but also entertain you as you gaze upon the strangeness of their architecture.
Because shopping centers have existed for a long time, architects are now more challenged to create a different style that will appeal to buyers, or simply to those who just want a change of style.

I'm developing a Adobe Air application that should make use of a SWF file using
I've never used
LocalConnection before, but from what I understood from the online reference, I need to specify the same connection name on both the sender and the receiver.
Since I don't have access to this component source code, how can I find out what connection name should I use?
I do have access to some JavaScript files that use the same SWF, but since I have no experience with JavaScript I wouldn't know where to start looking for. Could I figure something out from there?
... or am I missing something?

Secrets of Success
Week 29- Getting back to normal
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
Hi all,
We are finally getting back into the groove after a couple of busy weeks. After getting back from the shower I spent a few days trying to get the nursery stuff organized and washed. We ended up having to return a bunch of stuff that we got doubles of and having to pick up a ton of stuff we didn't get. Mostly sheets and misc burp clothes, etc. It was not the most fun I have ever had in Babies R Us. I had to keep calling my mom and asking her what I needed and how many of each to make sure that we have what we need when the baby first comes, like onesies and what not. I don't want Tom having to run out and get stuff on his own, it stresses him out. Then it makes me stressed so if I can have as much as I can up front it would be best. I think we are almost set. We got almost all of our big ticket items, minus the high chair which I returned and a jogging stroller. We have a starter stroller and in a few months we will make a final decision on a jogger. I know the baby won't be able to sit in either for a few months so it's not a top priority now and besides I have so many giftcards I know it won't be an actual expense when the time comes and that's great!
This weekend we also went and picked out some more decor since we currently have nothing for the room. Tom is really indecisive and I've kinda left it up to him as to the theme. I am totally not into boy things and if I had my way it would be a pretty plain room with patterns and no animals or themes. I totally despise animal themes and I don't know why. They just irritate me, it seems like baby stuff only comes in animals and it just bothers me. In any case since Tom was having so many issues deciding I drove us to a few places to look at things and told him we had to leave with at least 1 thing for the room, and we did. We still have a lot to get but at least we are going in a solid direction and I can order online if I have to. After a busy day shopping on Monday yesterday I woke up feeling like trash. I have a scratchy throat and it's hard to swallow and I had the full body aches all day yesterday. I had no appetite and basically lived on ginger ale and toast all day. Today I feel a little better but not 100%. I'm not sure if it's allergies or something worse but I am going to wait another day before I go to the doctor. If it's just allergies there isn't anything they can do. So I'm just sitting and suffering! I'll live I guess. It was a bummer too becuase the week I was in Pittsburgh I didn't go to the gym just did a lot of walking and Monday I had a bad ass workout and felt good to get back in the swing and now I am laid up for 2 days. It feels like everytime I get back in the swing something derails me. I already talked Tom into a long walk tonight so I figure that's better than nothing at this point. Especially since I don't want to make this illness worse.
Otherwise we had a doctor's appt last week and he said everything is good, glucose test went well so I don't have to worry about that. Other than that we go next week for another ultrasound and general appointment. It's been going so fast, it's crazy. Baby boy feels like he tries to escape at night and sometimes it freaks me out. Tom kinda thought I was crazy until he saw it. He had felt the kicks before when they were more subtle but now that he is really moving and pushing me so hard you can see it it's a whole new experience. He thought it was cool.
I think that's it for this week. I leave you with the weekly belly shots!

do you think maybe your working out too hard?? i had this happen to me.....i hadnt been running since i found out i preggers (cause i felt so bad) and then a few weeks ago i went. i didnt really "run" more like a nice slow jog. i felt soooo good, not tired, wasnt out of breath, ect. and went for 35 mins (includes a 5 min warm up and cool down) but the next day i felt AWFUL! my legs hurt, i was TIRED i felt like i had been run over by a truck! so i keep it at 15 mins and then do the shred, weights only just so i can kinda keep arms and legs toned. that seems to work out a lot better. so even tho i felt really good...it was deff too much for me while being 18 weeks pregnant! i think i slept half the day away. just a suggestion! =) glad you are doing so well.....the bump is cuuuute!

All new parents try their best to be "prepared". It never happens! LOL As long as you have the basics (onsies, bottles, diapers & wipes, car seat, burpies, etc.) thats all you'll need for the first few months. Trust me...you will always think of something that the lil' guy needs that you don't have. Welcome to parenthood! It's so funny too... when you go shopping, you will find more things to buy for him than for yourself. Soooo much fun!!
