A combination of being exciting and pitting two fighters together that make sense.
For instance Chavez Jr. nor Sergio Martinez are known outside of the boxing world, yet they were able to put up solid PPV numbers. The match made total sense and people were calling for that fight well before it.
Winning. You mad?

In terms of "how to become a PPV star"...
Honestly a big part of it IMO is fighting an already established PPV star and "leeching" his fans. Of course the most obvious examples being Mayweather and Pacquiao gaining superstar status after fighting De La Hoya.
Another thing that is much harder to quantify is a certain quality that casual fans gravitate towards. For Tyson it was pure violence: they paid to see guys get annihilated in the ring. For De La Hoya it was his Olympic gold pedigree and good looks, not to mention heart and actual skills. For Mayweather it's his "love to hate him" persona, and the suspense of who can finally dethrone him and take his 0 (note I mentioned casual fans earlier in this paragraph, most casuals don't watch Floyd purely for his boxing skills). For Pacquiao it's his relentless aggression, action packed style, and his improbable run taking out guys much bigger than him.
One more thing is established fanbase. If you're 30 fights into your career and still can't fill a stadium worth a lick, chances are you'll never become a PPV attraction.

Daily Calendar for March 4th, 2014
The Old Farmer's Almanac daily calendar gives you quick reference for the significant events on any day throughout the year.
|Previous Day
|Next Day
Mardi Gras is French for "fat Tuesday"--the final feasting before the fasting of Lent, which begins tomorrow, Ash Wednesday. Fat Tuesday is also called Shrove Tuesday, a name that comes from the practice of shriving--purifying oneself through confession--prior to Lent. Many of the names applied to this day relate to food and eating. In many Latin countries, Mardi Gras is the culmination of the carnival season of revelry and feasting. Among the Pennsylvania Dutch, this Tuesday is Fastnacht (fast night), and everyone enjoys the traditional fastnachtkuchen, a rectangular doughnut with a slit in the middle. If you're not up to traveling to the big Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, you might want to build a miniature float for the parade or sample some of the food served at this event. Visit the Mardis Gras and Cajun Food Recipe Guide to find out how to make Crawfish Bisque or Cajun Shrimp Creole. Or check out the Old Farmer's Almanac's very own Shrove Tuesday Pancakes for a tamer change of pace.

Our services during the disruption
Local Services:
Our Local delivery services will operate according to the service priorities selected. We trust that you are aware that if the postal disruption persists for an extended period, the volumes we will be required to manage will be much greater than usual, therefore it is possible that our deliveries on non-guaranteed services such as AM/PM, be postponed to the following day in order to maximize the priority on our Direct, Immediate and 2 Hour services. Please note as well that no credit requests will be honored during this elevated volume period. Rest assured that our clients prior to the postal disruption, will always be prioritized during the disruption.
Domestic Services (Intra-Canada):
Our Canadian network is well prepared to face the elevated volumes a postal disruption will cause. We encourage you to provide us all of your urgent shipments using our Canada Express service and your non-urgent shipments using our Canada Ground service.
International Services:
There will be no impact on International shipments during this eventual postal work stoppage.
Payments of your invoices
Regarding the payments to your accounts, you will still be required to submit your payments within our terms. If you have not already, we recommend that you subscribe to our online and electronic payment options.

Charred Beef Medallions With Poblano Margarita Sauce
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 30 mins
I posted this for someone on the Mexican food thread and decided to save it to my cookbook. I haven't tried it but can't wait to. It sounds really yum.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 1⁄2 lbs beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch thick medallions
- salt and pepper
- 1 small vidalia onion, cut into a medium dice
- 2 poblano peppers, washed, seeded and cut into a medium dice
- 1 tablespoon toasted and ground cumin
- 2 ounces gold tequila
- 1⁄4 cup lime juice
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 ounces Grand Marnier
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a saute pan over medium heat, season the beef medallions with salt and pepper, and add to the hot pan. Turn the heat up to high and char both sides of the beef well. To keep the beef rare to medium rare, cook quickly, turning once only after the beef has browned on the first side. Remove the beef from the pan, place on a warm platter, and set aside.
- Add the diced onions and poblano peppers to the saute pan, evenly spread out and cook till wilted. Add the cumin and combine well to toast the spice again. Working carefully away from the flame, add the tequila to the pan, deglaze the pan by swirling the tequila and set back over low heat to reduce.
- Add the lime juice and reduce to almost dry before adding the beef stock. Reduce the stock by half over high heat and add the Grand Marnier and fresh orange zest. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the heavy cream. Do not allow to boil but gently simmer for 2 minutes before adding the salt and pepper.
- Serve the beef on a bed of sauce.
Most Helpful
This was very different than anything I have made with Steak but I think I really liked it. It had a really nice and unique flavor. It was fairly easy to make. I grilled my beef tenderloin and made the sauce separate but other than that, made as directed. Thanks
Great recipe, I followed the recipe exaxctly, except I omitted the orange zest and used a splash of Triple Sec instead. Great flavor combinations, once you try it, you will see why its called a Margarita Sauce. I will definately make it again!
I grilled my meat then made the sauce stove top. I found the sauce a bit runny so with the leftover I blended it and it was a nice smooth cream that was slightly green.

It hit home when we realized that our teacher could have possibly been on that ship.
Be very weary of anyone in our Government who advocates any sort of "freedom" without any arm-twisting.
It's not like the Taxi industry could adapt to the changing market place; Instead let's insure that we save a dying business model and hamper progress by using legislation as an excuse for for necessity.
If you're a sysadmin or devops engineer (or whatever the popular term for unix admin is these days) you're going to want to be able to broadcast input to groups of terminals.

Just stop shooting people haphazardly.
If by saying
"people who are trying to undermine" the intelligence mission
actually means "Secure their freedom", then yes he's correct.
I didn't know stealth was an available upgrade, not sure how I'd use it accept to avoid speeding tickets.... Oh wait....
Owning is great for something like a hammer. It's going to be a useful tool for years to come.
The phone will be obsolete and/or useless in a year or two, at which point most people are going to buy another one.
It's a chicken vs egg issue with Linux. I know plenty of people that tell me: "when my favorite software (or game) is ported to Linux, then I'll switch".
The problem is that vendors are saying "when the user base is there, then I'll port the software".
The probably is that your average Linux gamer is a cheapskate or a GNUStallinist who feels that everything should be 100% free and open source.
Absolutely untrue. The average Linux gamer/user is on Linux because they don't like Windows, not because they are cheap. Everyone I know that runs Linux as their primary desktop spends quite a few bucks every month on games via Steam (I do too).
Cheapskates are are on every OS, that's why pirating is so prevalent.
The second issue is that Linux is really a fragmented market
Very true. I think Ubuntu has done the best for everyday desktop use, and Steam works beautifully on it. This is probably the best best right now.
It appears we agree on the intimidation factor.
We can disagree if it's purely the perception on the part of the civilian or a tactic of law enforcement.
Either way: it remains a fact. Otherwise normal people do dumb things out of fear, which can cause a situation to escalate very quickly.
Secondly, law enforcement, at least in the United States, has no extra power to "kill or imprison" others compared to each individual citizen.
They may have no extra "rights" to do so; If a cop shoots someone, it's next to impossible to prove malice or incompetence on the part of the officer.
See Blue wall of silence.
You can also be detained/imprisoned/jailed/kidnapped based solely on Probable Cause. At minimum a nice way to ruin someones day.
Sounds like a lot of power to me.
I will add that I have been rather unhappy with the way it seem law enforcement has changed just over the past 5 to 7 years alone.
I'm also very sad to see this.
Think about it this way: What have we missed before cellphones became powerful and ubiquitous evidence collecting machines. I think that the only thing that has changed is that the public is able to police the police much better now.
Here are some fun numbers
Exactly this.
They tried this at my work.Management decided to require 100% of our time be tracked in the ticketing system.
I'll be you can guess what happened, everyone employed the following formula: ticket time = tickets / 8
Intimidation is a purposeful and deliberate tactic to gain compliance through fear of violence.
Everything about police is intimidating: the uniform, the car, driving tactics, visible weapons, approach and demeanor.
Here is an article delving into some of the psychology.
When the police approach you or pull you over there is always that fight or flight instinct that kicks in, even when you've done nothing wrong. Why? Because police are intimidating as hell and they have the power to either kill you or imprison you.
It is also contrary to the nature of the human male to submit: when you get pushed, you push back. This is why you see the backlash or attitudes from ordinary people against cops.
There is no profession without idiots; however in this profession someone is going to pay a heavy price for a mistake.

Dozens of kids took to the football field in Roanoke to learn the basics of the sport.
The kids spent their day at William Fleming High School.
This is part of the Upward Flag Football program organized by the First Baptist Church. Players are made up of all faiths and are from different counties.
100 kids are split up into 12 groups, ranging from boys and girls from first to eighth grades.
They really love it because again we teach fundamentals of football. It's very competitive but its fundamental and it's an opportunity for them to have fun, said program manager, Anna Grubb.
The group will continue play every Saturday until October 26th.

Yes, this is supposed to be "do" rather than "don't." But seriously, take a break. Wear that pair of oh-so-dope sneakers for yourself, and not to impress a bunch of people you don't know on the Internet. We're not saying you should NEVER post what you're wearing on Instagram (and when you do, don't forget the #ComplexKicks tag), but take at least one day a week and wear your sneakers for you and the people who see you in real life.

As photographers we're generally focused on trying to make sure that all of our images are sharp. And yet in some cases, you may want to apply a bit of a blur to certain images or just certain areas of an image. The new field blur filter in Photoshop CS6 makes it very easy to apply a realistic blur effect with a bit more control than you might realize at first. Let's take a look at how it works. I'm going to start off by creating a copy of my background image layer. So, I'll drag the Background Image layer thumbnail, down to the Create New Layer button, the blank sheet of paper icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. That will create a background copy so that I can blur that layer without worrying about the original Background Image layer. I'll then choose Filter > Blur > Field Blur.
This will bring up the Blur tools panel as well as the Blur Effects panel, and you'll notice that the field blur adjustment is quite simple. We can simply adjust the degree of blur. Whether it's a strong blur or a relatively subtle blur. We can also adjust the Boca effects if we want to include that in our blur. But for the time being, we'll just focus on the field blur itself. I'll increase the amount of blur being applied to the image. In this case, my thought is that I'd like to use this American flag as the backdrop for another project.
And so, I want to fade it back just a little bit I want it to not be quite so prominent in the foreground. And of course, that's a relatively straightforward adjustment. I'll go ahead and apply a little bit more blur. But what if we decide that we'd like to have the blur effect in certain areas of the photo more than others? For example, I like the blur effect in the stripes but maybe I want the stars to not be quite so blurred so that they have a little bit more of a sense of being actual stars. We're able to actually adjust the blur effect, Forefield Blur, using this control that appears at the center of the image.
For example, the circle around the outside allows me to adjust the degree of blur. So, this is in lieu of the slider on the Blur tools panel. But I can also change the position of the blur. I'll go ahead and point to the button in the center, and then drag this down to toward the bottom right. Now initially, nothing changes in the image because I'm using a single point to define the blur for the image. However, I can also click on another portion of the image in order to add an additional control point. I'll go ahead and reduce the blur for that area and increase the blur for the original area so that we can get a better sense of exactly what's going on here. By adjusting the degree of blur as well as the position for each of the control points, we can fine tune the final effect.
I'll go ahead and adjust the position here for example, and move this control point so that we're getting most of the stars to be relatively sharp. I'll then fine tune the actual blur effect. I do want a little bit of a blur for the stars, but not too much. I want to give them a bit of an ethereal glow without getting distorted too much. Right about there looks to be pretty good. And then, I'll click on the other control button. I don't want quite as much blur here. Perhaps, right around there looks to be pretty good. So now, I've adjusted the image with two control points in this case. I could certainly add additional control points.
But the point being is that we're able to fine tune our blurring effect by controlling where in the image the blur is going to focus its effect. And to what extent it will affect that area of the photo I'm pretty happy with the result here. I'll go ahead and click OK in order to apply that blur, and then turning off my Background Copy layer and turning it back on. You can get a sense of the effect we've applied with a stronger blur for the stripes at the bottom-right corner of the image. For example, and less of a blur effect for the stars at the top-left.
So, a very realistic blur effect that we were able to exercise quite a bit of control over.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Your Trades This Year.
What trades have you made this year?
I have made 2 trades.
I traded Evgeni Malkin for Ryan Miller straight up.
The reason I did this was because there was a huge whole in my goalie position and I only had about 15 games left on the center posistion so I figured I might as well benefit from getting rid of him since I won't get points from him.
The other trade I made was:
H. Sedin, Pominville, and S. Mason
Gaborik & Huet
Once again I might have given up to much but like I said before I am just about done with games at Center so why not benefit.
NOW! What have you did this year so far?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Traded away Spezza and Demitra for Iginla and Dumont pre-season, and I traded away Getzlaf, Setoguchi and Chara for Heatley, Gaborik and Rafalski about 15 games in. Both have worked out great.
Traded Backstrom (C) for St. Louis at the begining of the year. Was stacked at C with Crosby, Zetts and richards.
Traded Loui Erikson for Mark Streit at the en of the first 1/4. I think i lost big on this one but i had James Neal (when he looked like he was tearing up stats) and Brad Richards and Had to get rid of one of them and nobody would take him and that's all I could get.
Although I was able to package Streit and Ryan Malone for Hossa just 2 games after he came back from injury which was awesome!
Stamkos/Ward for Doan/Nabokov right after draft (needed to fill a G pos. ended up dropping Doan)
Alfie for St. Louis (right before Alf went on a tear)
St. Louis for Pronger (lol, my FWs were stacked, and +/- was my only weak point)
I picked up a few FAs in the process, now my team is pretty well rounded.
Vrbata(UFA pickup) <-> Backes
Kesler+Smyth+Coburn <-> E.Staal+Clowe
E.Staal+Backes+Leclaire <-> Brodeur + Moulson + White
some of the better FA-adds so far:
Howard, Stewart, Fleischmann, Brunette, Foster
but I made also some terrible waiver adds in:
Lupul,Souray and Wideman
and a bitter drop early in the season: Halak ...
in the end...for my first season...so far so good...
- 1 Reply to Nicolai
After the draft I gave Zetterberg and Spezza for Ovie
I gave Hiller and Giguere for Stamkos and Bieksa
I gave Letang and Brassard for Lidstrom
then I got Spezza back for Giroux! (while he was on IR)
Ive only made one trade
Gave away Patrick Sharp
Got back Travis Zajac
Sharp was hot, but I had Kane, and Hossa was coming off IR. Zajac has been great, but overall it was an even trade.
Ive been trying to package Lundvqist and another guy (like Zajac or Koivu) for a reliable goalie to go with Luongo. Ive actually had my eye on Varlamov, cause Luongo can hold it down by himself until he gets back, and each week I know Ill get the edge in goalie wins.
I've made 6 trades so far this year, a little much but they definately have helped me grab hold of first place
OCT 10- I trade Ollie Jokinen and Mike Smith
I receive Martin St Louis
NOV 17- I trade Pavel Datsyuk and Vinny Prospal
I receive Patrick Marleau (my favorite trade so far)
NOV 23- I trade Daniel Alfredsson and Mike Ribeiro
I receive Vinny Lecalvalier
DEC 16- I trade Mike Richards and JS Giguere
I receive Tomas Plekanec, John Tavares and Steve Mason
Jan 13- I trade Tomas Plekanec and Stephen Weiss
I receive Jarome Iginla
Jan 29- I trade Jarome Iginla, Joel Pavelski and Brian Elliot
I receive Ilya Kovalchuk
- 1 Reply to Big Rob
1> Traded Langenbrunner for Staal
2> Traded Prospal for Ryan
3> Traded M. Richards for Iginla
I don't believe there's a clear winner in any of these, but it worked out when positions were taken into consideration.
In Jan I traded Zetterberg & Sharp for D Sedin & Varlamov
I also just traded JS Giguere for Vermette...might have been able to do better but we'll see...I did get the 2nd best FW player in the league. I also have H Sedin, M Koivu, & Filppula as my Centers...
Balls Deep Balls Deep Feb 5, 2010 1:52 AM Flag
I've made four trades this season:
1. I received D Roy for Z. Bogosian
2. I received J. Theodore for C. Anderson
3. I received T. Rask for B. Boyes
4. I received Getzlaf/Kopitar/Hossa/Markov/Myers
Jokinen/Roy/Pavelski/Erkisson/Barker (Eriksson is eligible to be kept in the 6th round next season, Pavelski can be kept in the 7th round)
I traded
Nabokov, Vanek
and got
Luongo, Kane when Luongo was hurt.
I also traded
H. Sedin and Ovechkin
and got
Thornton, Carter, Doughty, Bieksa in a 20 team league.
Luongo, Rinne and Downie
and got
Zetterberg, St.Louis and Howard when zetterberg was injured.
After the draft, before the season started, I traded Rick Nash and Alex Kovalev, and got back Ilya Kovalchuk.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in the Weirdest Commercial Ever
The soccer star is in an ad for a bizarre Japanese product. Unbelievable.
Here it is, the craziest celebrity endorsement commercial I've ever seen. It stars Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably a huge star who is discerning about the kinds of products he advertises, with a flexible item designed to "exercise the face." The Japanese thingy bills itself as a "facial fitness" item, or "a Shake Weight for the face."
Uhhh, right. It is a baffling commercial. And creepy. And Cristiano appears to be loving it. (Though it's important to note he never actually uses the product as directed.)

New Delhi, Jan 5 : Hockey India (HI) Tuesday sought clarification from Hockey Punjab on the formation of the state body before considering its request for affiliation to the national federation.
In a leter to HP secretary Pargat Singh, HI president Ashok Kumar Mattoo said that the affilitaion committee had informed them about the objections raised over the merger process of the three units to form HP.
"When you (Pargat Singh) met Narinder Batra, he apprised you about the complaints which have been received from different quarters who have raised doubts about the authentication of the formation of Hockey Punjab," Mattoo wrote in the letter.
"You are required to submit the minutes of meeting of election in which Hockey Punjab was formed alongwith the list of persons who attended the meeting for us to consider your request for affiliation."
HP president Sukhbir Singh Badal Sunday claimed that depiste meeting all the requirements as per HI constitution, they were still waiting to be affiliated to the national body.
Mattoo said the affiliation committee was looking into the matter.
"There is an affiliation committee to look after the affiliation of the state units after the members are fully convinced about the unification of all units. It is not only Punjab which is yet to be granted affiliation but there are many other states who are waiting to be affiliated due to certain queries raised by the affiliation committee.
"Affiliation has already been granted to those states who have completed the necessary formalities," Mattoo said.(IANS)

While he was looking at my car he found wiring that was hanging down onto the exhaust system he said if those wires had gotten hotter and melted they could spark and the car would catch on fire or blow up. He zip tied them up. The seat belt in the back seat does not work. There is a problem with the suspension and the tires. There is a chip in the windshield. I had no idea at the time that these things were illegal in Oregon.
I feel like such an idiot for trusting these guys. I should have known better when in the first week I had the transmission stop working. They said it was lines that came loose, but now Im scared to death the car is going to break down on me.
I feel they should have known about these problems with the vehicle. When I called the finance company to complain about the problems and that I wanted to reverse the loan and I was not going to make the first payment until I resolved this issue and they were rude and treated me like garbage. They lied to me about having the contract under review when in reality they had already sent it back to the dealership. The dealership then, could repo the car and not give me my down payment back. I have had to resign for this loan four times due to improper paper work by the dealer.
Then they said the loan company would not finance me with out a 2000.00 dollar and they had to change the price of the car so that the fee could be paid. So instead of finacing 2500.00 I had to finance 4900.00 Then after all that company sent me a denial letter a week after I signed the last time. Since I started this process the loan company and the dealership have put me off and put me off until now they are saying I am too far out on the purchase that it was funded and cant be reversed.
They are coming to get the car and I will not get my deposit back. I spoke with the finance company yesterday to see what decision they had made in regards to the car. They said the account was under review (what does that mean) when I call initially the first person I talked to said the loan was sent back to the dealership. However Westlake the loan company said they would accept a payment. Well if they dont have the loan and sent it back to the dealer then why would I make a payment to them? If the dealer bought the loan they have to contact me with the terms of the loan, but they are just going repo the car without telling me or giving me the option to make a payment.
I will say up front that I have little to no money. I am a single mom struggling to even buy groceries. I filed chapter 13 and this is why I felt like I had no choices with this dealer. They told I would not be able to get financed anywhere else. I feel so foolish. I trust people and now I know I cant. I believed there where good people in the world but more and more I am learning I cant trust.

Virginia Democrat Gerry Connolly, whose House district is home to thousands of federal employees, is proposing a 3.3 percent pay hike for those workers in 2015.
With Republicans in control of the House, the measure stands virtually no chance of becoming law, but it provides a rhetorical launching pad for Connolly and other Democrats who accuse the GOP of demonizing federal workers.
"After a three-year wage freeze, wage-reducing work furloughs, sequester cuts and a government shutdown, our nation's dedicated federal employees deserve fair compensation," Connolly said in a statement on March 26 when he introduced legislation to enact the pay increase.
Studies disagree about how federal compensation stacks up against the private sector, but pay freezes and budget woes have certainly taken their toll on the federal workforce in the past few years. Federal workers received a 1 percent increase for 2014.
Two of the co-sponsors of Connolly's measure -- fellow Democrats Jim Moran of Virginia and Elijah Cummings of Maryland -- also represent D.C.-area districts.
"After three years of a pay freeze and too many furloughs, they've earned a modest, decent raise," Moran said.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Wow...If you click on the "Federal Compensation" link (in red) in the body of the article, it takes you to the following http://www.aei.org/files/2011/06/08/AEI-Working-Paper-on-Federal-Pay-May-2011.pdf. Interesting read. Perhaps the truth may be in the numbers. Of course, there's probably some economist who will come out of the democratic wood-work and debunk it. Effectively, tell us all the reasons why this paper is wrong. I don't presume to know its right, but it sure makes a compelling argument.
Sounds like an election year ploy to me. The Dems had plenty of opportunities to provide reasonable pay hilkes to end the pay freeze that THEY STARTED. Now that it looks like they are going to get a well-deserved shellacking this year, they resort to their primary source of influence - bribing the electorate with money forceably taken from the taxpayers and call their opponents cold-hearted. Considering that most forget the prime reason we got the pay freeze was because the country went broke when the Dems went on a wild spending spree after they got control of all branches of the Government, many will fall for this ploy. Look at all those big, Dem-controlled cities that went bankrupt, and you will see the same problem repeated over and over again. They do massive spending to buy off the voters, go broke and everyone suffers for it, then try to keep or get back in people's good graces with more tax payer funded bribery without ever fixing the prime problem.
I like the thought of an increase, but have to wonder what other "share" costs like insurance will also increase to offset that 3.3%.

It's completely free! If you're feeling generous, we would love to have you contribute your thoughts, questions, and answers to the course discussion forum.
Collaboration is a great way to learn. You should do it! The key is to use collaboration as a way to enhance learning, not as a way of sharing answers without understanding them.
Udacity classes are a little different from traditional courses. We intersperse our video segments with interactive questions. There are many reasons for including these questions: to get you thinking, to check your understanding, for fun, etc... But really, they are there to help you learn. They are NOT there to evaluate your intelligence, so try not to let them stress you out.
Learn actively! You will retain more of what you learn if you take notes, draw diagrams, make notecards, and actively try to make sense of the material.

Announcing The Charles Hotel, Munich
Say hello to the latest Rocco Forte masterpiece: The Charles Hotel, perfectly located in the heart of Munich, close to the historic square of Konigsplatz.

The luxury hotel will feature 160 guest rooms, including 28 suites, with views of the surrounding Lenbach Garden, the city's oldest botanical garden.

Luxury Travel Trends: Glamping
Forget mildewed tents and crummy sleeping bags. Today's luxury travelers are opting for glamorous camping experiences, called "glamping" in a recent AP article.

Another example of this trend in "rustic luxury" travel: glamping it up at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in British Columbia, where tents are outfitted with Persian carpets, down duvets, antique dressers, pressed-glass oil lamps, heirloom accessories, and-- in addition to wireless Internet-- a remote-controlled propane wood-stove.

The L-List
Kudos to Paul at A Luxury Travel blog, for compiling the L-List of all those who blog luxury. Here's the deal:
As you may have guessed, L-List stands for Luxury List, and it provides luxury bloggers a means of being discovered. You might be blogging about any aspect of the luxury arena… cars… fashion… food and wine… travel… whatever. My goal is simple: I want the hard work of many luxury bloggers out there (Allison, Ava, Courtney, Deidre, Mary, Nicole, etc. - note to self: where are all the male luxury bloggers?!) to be recognised and hopefully the L-List can help in achieving that. If you're a luxury blogger, here's what you need to do: - Write a post. - Copy/paste the link list (and these instructions!) from the post you've discovered the L-List into it. - Make sure the links are active and correct. - If your blog is on the list, remove it… it's not a self-promotion post. As Tim Fehlman (Z-List) said : "Don't worry, because if your name is on mine, it's on others and will spread." - Add your favourite luxury blogs on to the list. - Add the URL of the blog where you've discovered the L-List as well. - Publish the post. - People will notice the L-List and continue it.
