I'm loving the Braves today. They are a different team at home (12-6 this year) and they are coming off a pretty exciting win. What more can you say about Jason Heyward that hasn't already been said? He's a monster and he's getting even more at bats now that they've moved him to the 2 spot in the lineup. Eric Hinske has been a pleasant surprise for them. And they have Tommy Hanson on the mound.
What the kid Mike Leake has done so far without one inning of minor league baseball has been nothing short of amazing. The kid is 4-0 with a sub 4 era. However, I don't expect him to be perfect every time out and this is a decent spot for him to get his first loss on the road. Also, Scott Rolen and Johnny Gomes (arguably the Reds hottest hitter right now) are out of the lineup today.
As for the Phillies, I look for them to break their modest 2 game losing streak today with a bang. J Roll is back and he gives the team a ton more balance. Phils are 13-7 their last 20 games against right handers. Cubs are without Aramis today (some may call that a blessing). Look for the Phils to bounce back at home.
Even with Mitre pitching, the Yanks have a decided advantage against the Twins at home.
Blackburn is not very good on the road, the Yanks are 8-2 their last 10 against righties, and Blackburn is 0-3 in the last three years at Yankee Stadium.
Mitre just needs to throw 5 and allow the Yanks offense to do it's thang.
Also looking for the Jays to stay hot at home (Morrow's numbers are horrible but the kid has so much potential), a small bet on the Reds (I hate Brad Penny and I think he's so overrated; Gomes is on fire as are the Reds), and I'll be riding the Pirates once again! They are playing well against the Cubbies and at +190, you just can't go wrong!
On my way to the game tonight to watch Zito dominate once again on my birthday!
Giants are coming off a decent 4-2 roadie, and they are battling the Pads for first place in the West, with memories of a three game sweep earlier in the season in San Diego. Panda just could not wait for that road trip to end as he slumped badly on the entire trip. Don't have the numbers in front of me, but I believe he's hitting like, .067 in May.
Nothing better than some home cooking for the cure!
Look for the Giants to come out with a purpose tonight on their first game of the homestand! In Zito we trust.
Also looking to take the Royals, the Marlins, and the Angels at home.
Good luck guys!
i'm liking the dodgers today. Kershaw is legit, and when he's on, there aren't many better than him. You have to remember, he's only 23 or something like that. I look for him to bounce back from his worst start of the year.
It's always hard to bet against Jimenez; he's that good. But no one is perfect, and this situation is set up for the Dodgers pretty well at home. Either is a monster and the return of Manny should help balance that lineup out.
Give me the Dodgers with plus money at home.
random thoughts:
-The Freak is amazing. He was just crusing against the Marlins. Just absolutely unhittable. I think he had 9 or 10 K's through 5. As good as he was though, Hanley was unbelievable too, taking him yard, on a pitch that was just too good to hit. Ruined an unbelievable night from Lincecum. Can't believe he struck out 13 and didn't get a win. Dude should be 6-0. And you wonder why at the end of the year, people say wins for a pitcher don't mean a DAMN thing.
-San Diego just cannot lose at home. They have this amazing ability to keep any game that they play at home close, and with that bullpen, that is just a recipe for success. I love Chase Headley. That kid is gonna be a player and one of the main reasons why they were willing to give up on Kouzmanoff. They built that team perfectly for Petco.
-Can people stop running onto the field please? These idiots deserve to be tased. I applaud the officer who did that. Actually, next time some idiot runs on the field, I say Ryan Howard has free reign to get a shot at the guy. That'll teach them a lesson. The field is for the players. Stay the fuck off.
Onto Wednesday's games:
-Giants -145. How do you not keep taking Zito here? The guy is pitching the best baseball of his life and he has great lifetime numbers against the Marlins. He's 4-0 against the Marlins, with a 2.35 era and 30 ips and only 20 hits. Give me the Giants here as they keep rolling.
-Cardinals -125... [More]
Random thoughts:
-Yovanni Gallardo is nails! 7 ips, 11 ks, and 1 HR to boot. He single handedly won that game for the Brewers last night. The kid is a ballplayer and refused to lose, throwing 122 pitches, knowing that he had to go deep into the ballgame for his beleaguered pen. Props to Latroy and Hoffy too for stepping it up too.
-Dice-K, is it safe to say that he's a bust?? Well, at least for the price that he's getting paid..For the 100 million that the Sox paid to get him (50 mil just to have the rights to NEGOTIATE with him), you'd figure you'd want more from him than what is equilvant to a number 3 starter.
-I've said this before, and I'll say it again...The Diamondbacks bullpen should all just go kill themselves. What a bunch of dogs. Someone look to the minors and call up someone that can get 3 damn outs in the late innings. Howry is the ultimate gas can. DFA him immediately.
Onto today's picks:
Boston -150: Beckett's gotta turn it around sometime right??? He's really been scuffling, but traditionally, he's pitched well at Camden (4-1 with a 3.28 era). Youk is not in the lineup today but Mike Lowell has great numbers against Millwood. Look for Boston to avoid the sweep today against the O's.
Royals +130: I'll take a flier on Greinke getting his win here. Hate betting against the Rays but Greinke has been getting it done. His numbers are not as amazing as last year's, but are still top notch. 31 ip, only 28 hits all... [More]
not much time for random thoughts but here are some:
-I freaking hate the MLB Saturday blackout rules. They are just completely retarded. Giants game blacked out today and just ruins my Saturday.
-Rockies are so talented but they are just getting killed by injuries. Street, De La Rosa, Hawpe, Hammel, all on the DL. Btw, did anyone see Carlos Gonzalez try and bunt in an RBI situation yesterday? What a horrible play and a gift for the Giants.
onto today's picks:
Angels +101: Simple reasoning here. Kazmir has owned the Tigers whereas Angels have hit Bonderman really well.
More coming up.
-Man. I have to stop betting on the Brewers. I feel like I'm in a support meeting. "Hi my name is Bruins17. And I need to stop betting on the Brewers. They are dogs and their bullpen sucks." After last night's debacle, if I ever say I'm going to take Doug Davis again, someone just shoot me okay? The guy does not belong on a team in the Majors. Jeff Suppan does not belong on a team in the majors.
-Boy the Dodgers are in the same boat as the Brewers right now. Getting shut out at home, against the Pirates, with a guy named Brian Burres on the mound, who coming into the game had a 7 plus era. Ouch. I guess the writing was on the wall though if coming into the season, your biggest acquistions were Jamey Carroll, Russ Ortiz, Ramon Ortiz and resigning Vincente Padilla. Good luck Dodgers.
-Robinson Cano...8 HRS?!? Wow...A-Rod and Tex should be embarrased..your second baseman is carrying the team.
-Giants -133. Zito, Zito, Zito...ahhh how we've forgotten how good you can be! The guy is just on a roll right now and even better, he has awesome numbers against the Rockies. In the past three years, Zito is 4-2 with a 2.05 era, 70 ip and only 45 hits allowed. Giants have been rolling at home too. Look for that to continue against a Rockies team that has been decimated by injuries so far.
-Diamondbacks +145. Pretty great value here to be betting on a team that has been lighting up the scoreboar... [More]
-Giants are getting hot at home. I called the Wellemeyer start...he was way overdue for a good start. I know Spring stats don't mean a thing, but he really was pitching well in the spring, earning the 5th starter job. He was really impressive tonight. Of course, it also helps when you have a defense that plays great behind you. I'm so happy that Nate Schierholtz is finally getting a chance to play everyday. He showed flashes of brillance last year in RF and he only proved that he can play RF again tonight with two amazing OF assists. Giants go for the sweep tomorrow with the Freak on the mound!
-Is Trevor Hoffman done??? 5 earned runs in the ninth, after Fielder HRs to give them the lead. Blown save number 3 and a 13.50 ERA...ouch. He seems like he can't get away with such a subpar fastball anymore since his changeup is not as effective anymore. I look for the Brewers to bounce back tomorrow though. More on this game later.
-Colorado is unbeatable when Ubaldo pitches. Give the guy 2 runs (they gave him 12 today) and chalk up another win. He's that good guys. Days of the wild Ubaldo are long over; I think he's the third best pitcher in the NL behind Lincecum and Halladay.
Brewers -155: I have no clue who this Narveson guy is but Paul Maholm has some ridiculous splits here. Past three years, he has a 5.21 era and a 10-21 record on the road. Moreover he has a 5.32 era and a 7-14 record in... [More]
-Boy, the Brew Crew just have the right formula to get healthy...and that's to play the Pirates. After getting swept away at home against the Cubbies, they take out their agression against the hapless Buccos. I just feel so bad for Pirate fans. They have a jewel of a ballpark, and a fan base that is fanatical about their sports (Steelers, Penguins and Pitt Panther sports) but they just cannot put together a winning squad. Call up Pedro Alverez now...might as well right??
-I just cannot get a feel on the Rangers at all. They are the type of team that is just not consistent enough for me to get a guage and put my hard earned money on them. Then again, I took them today, and I gave up on them in the 4th, only to have them storm all the way back and tie the game...and then their closer gives up back to back jacks. So it goes sometimes.
-The Giants really had a great gameplan against Halladay tonight. They were attacking his pitches early in the count; moreover, the Giants bullpen was just nails tonight. Sergio Romo is definitely not a household name, but man, he's great. The Giants have a great back of the pen with Affeldt, Romo, and Wilson to close it. Reminds me of the formula that they had in 2002 with Nathan, Felix Rodriguez, Worrell and Nen to close.
Onto Tuesday's picks:
-Astros -125. Berkman has just injected life into this once hapless team. That's the one thing I just love about baseball; a team can look like t... [More]
-Barry Zito is back. I was at the game tonight and Zito was just DEALING. The main difference I've seen from Zito now and Zito past is that he's locating his fastball so much better now. The hitters used to just sit on his curve since he could not throw his fastball for strikes. Simply by just eliminating his walks, his curve has become that much more effective. Good for him.
-Padres continue to be on FIRE. Granted, the Reds aren't very good, but to win 8 in a row against anyone, that's pretty impressive. That bullpen is just nails. You get a lead into the 6th and 7th innings, they have some door shutters.
-The Yanks just keep rolling. The scary part is that their big hitters aren't even hitting yet, and they are still winning with ease. Phil Hughes finally is living up to his hype.
-Can one man really make that big of a difference? Before Lance Berkman got healthy, the Astros had a chance to be one of the worst teams in recent memory. Then Berkman comes back and they rattle off some wins. Pretty amazing that Carlos Lee got his first RBI on Thursday night.
Onto Sunday's picks:
Brewers -120: Love this spot here for the Brewers. After their 20-0 win over the Pirates, they dropped 2 in a row to the hapless Cubbies. I look for their bats to regain the swagger that they had in Pittsburgh and avoid the sweep. Brewers have some pretty nice numbers against Wells in limited appearances. Braun hitting ... [More]

Ray Lewis Bias Opinion Hits ESPN Airwaves
On Wednesday, ESPN officially trotted out former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis as an employee, to talk about the players the Ravens have lost.
The hire officially has been announced, and he?s already on air talking about how the Ravens will proceed without him and Anquan Boldin and Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe.
But forget about objectivity from Ray when it comes to the Ravens. ?It?s not as if I?m not gonna be around that program, to always be around to help them in whatever way I can,? Lewis said on the air moments ago.
He?ll specifically be around ESPN on Monday nights during football season. Lewis, per ESPN, will join the on-site desk, with Stuart Scott, Steve Young, and Trent Dilfer.

On May 14 the Pride of Baltimore, a 136-foot handcrafted schooner that served as a goodwill ambassador for her namesake city, sank in a storm 240 miles north of Puerto Rico. Capt. Armin E. Elsaesser III and sailors Nina Schack, Vincent Lazzaro and Barry Duckworth drowned. The rest of the Pride's crew—John (Sugar) Flanagan, Joseph McGeady, Leslie McNish, Susan Huesman, Daniel Krachuk, James (Ches) Chesney, Robert Foster Jr. and Scott Jeffrey—drifted for four days on a leaky raft before being rescued by a Norwegian tanker. Jeffrey, 27, a native of Linthicum, Md., who had signed aboard the Pride in March, talked to correspondent Andrea Pawlyna about the tragedy.
May 14 started out as a really comfortable sailing day. I had the 3 to 7 dawn watch. The skies were gray, and there was a good breeze but no rain. I was in bed asleep when the "all hands" call came at 11 a.m. It meant we all had to go up on deck with our harnesses on. Each harness had a six-foot-long tether with a clip on the end that could be attached to the boat to prevent you from falling overboard.
On deck I took my position on the starboard side at midship. Squalls were appearing on the horizon, so we shortened sail and for the first half hour everything was under control. Then I heard this tremendous whistling in the rigging. The boat started to lean over, but nobody panicked. The Pride was a wet boat, and you got used to her taking heavy rolls.
Suddenly the wind jumped to 70 mph or more, and the boat heeled way over. I assumed she was going to come back up, but after 15 seconds I realized that wasn't going to happen. Joe began running along the deck cutting everyone loose from their harnesses. Water started to work its way up the deck, and soon the boat was lying sideways in the water.
All of a sudden the boat rolled over. The next thing I knew, I was underwater. I saw Susie next to me. I reached down, grabbed her and gave her a yank to bring her up to the surface. Once I surfaced I knew I wasn't going to die. I just knew it wasn't my time. As I reached the surface, I saw the Pride go down. It took only 60 seconds. As she went she righted herself and sank with her sails up and her flags fluttering.
At first there were nine of us scattered in the water—everyone was accounted for except Nina, Barry and Vinnie. We saw two life rafts floating about 50 feet away. One was partially inflated, and the other was just a blob of rubber. We swam for them, but Armin started swimming in the other direction. He must have seen someone. We shouted for him, but he didn't hear. We never saw him again.
The squall was over in about 10 minutes. We all had reached the rafts when we saw Nina floating face down. Everybody was wearing foul-weather gear except Ches. He was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. So he took Nina's gear and put it on. In the end, it helped save him from exposure and may have saved his life. We never saw Vinnie after the ship sank, but an hour later we saw Barry floating on his back. He had swallowed a lot of water and his stomach was distended. He didn't like to swim, and we could tell he was exhausted. We grabbed him and held on to him for about an hour and a half. But there came a point when the life just went out of his eyes, and he died, and we had to let him go.
For the first couple of hours, we tied the two rafts together and just hung on to the sides. We were trying to inflate them but we couldn't figure out why they weren't working. We tried hooking up a hand pump, but that proved useless. Then Sugar tried blowing one up. It was a superhuman effort but the raft still wouldn't inflate. Then we realized that it was torn. Ches went to the other raft and started blowing it up. It was a little victory as we saw it start to take shape. It was about dusk when we all got into the raft. We had been in the ocean treading water for about six hours.
I don't remember much of that first night. I just collapsed out of exhaustion. If we had to go to the bathroom, we pretty much went in our pants. The next morning we were sitting in our own urine and waste. We used saltwater to clean out the raft and decided that from then on we would go to the bathroom in a can. There was no place for modesty. Nobody was embarrassed. You just didn't have a choice.
Some debris from the Pride was floating in the water. We grabbed whatever passed by—a water jug, biscuits, flares, an emergency kit—and from that we organized rations for 10 days, although we didn't expect to be in the raft that long. We decided not to eat or drink for the first 24 hours to let our bodies shut down so that we wouldn't feel so hungry. When we did eat, we each had half a biscuit and one and a half ounces of canned water a day.
On the second day or third I grabbed seaweed from the water, and we ate that. It played havoc with our stomachs, but it was a psychological boost. You were putting something in your mouth. We tried fishing. We thought that we could have raw fish, seaweed, water and biscuits. Boy would that be dining. But we had no weights, so our hooks just floated on the surface. And we were also scared of puncturing the raft.
One day we caught rainwater by making channels out of the flaps on the raft. Each of us had a cup of water that day—a real treat. There was always seawater in the raft. It had a pinhole or seam slit in it, and we had to bail it out every few hours. I was never dry. Nobody was. Sugar sat in water for 4½ days. He couldn't move from his spot because at 220 lbs., he was our ballast, but that also meant that the water always gathered where he sat. The raft was just five feet square and was meant to hold only six people. You stayed in one spot until it was so painful that you had to say, "Hey guys, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna move." If you wanted to stretch your leg, you had to get it out from under seven other people.
To distract ourselves we sang songs. The first one we picked was Don McLean's American Pie, but when we got to the part that goes, "This'll be the day that I die," we thought, well, that's not too appropriate. Then we tried Yesterday, but when we got to the part about troubles being "here to stay," we stopped that, too. Somewhere along the line we sang Puff, the Magic Dragon. That was a nice, safe song. We could all deal with Puff.
Everybody was grumpy. You reached a point where you were so frustrated that you broke. You cried. It happened to all of us at different times, but when it did, you had seven other people there to put their arms around you and tell you it was going to be okay. Generally we talked a lot, but there were other times when we were in our own worlds. I thought about my family and getting home. I spent a lot of time thinking about what happened on the ship, about the people I had worked with.
I was too scared to sleep at night. It was pitch black. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face. And it was cold. The temperature dropped into the 60s at night. I remember sitting with Joe on the low side and his teeth were chattering. Another night Ches was hallucinating and got up to take a walk. We had to physically restrain him. We all breathed a sigh of relief when morning came.
We hadn't had a chance to send a distress signal before the Pride went down. No one knew where we were. We knew that we were in shipping lanes and that ships would be passing by. On the first morning, we saw a cruise ship, and we fired our remaining flares, but she just kept going. After that we saw at least one ship a day, and each time our hopes would rise. We'd stand up and wave our yellow foul-weather gear, but no one saw us.
The night we were rescued we had a feeling that this was going to be it. We were just so tired of that damn raft. It was about 11 p.m. when Leslie told Sugar and Robert that she saw a boat on the horizon. I was in a sleepy daze, but I heard them say that it was too far away for us to signal. Leslie stood up, and with two flashlights she started signaling an SOS. At first the boat went right by us, but then it turned around. They hit us with their spotlight, and we saw this tanker sitting there, just a huge wall of steel. We were all excited, but we remained pretty controlled. We didn't want to be so close to being rescued and then do something stupid like capsize.
When we got on board, our legs were so wobbly that the crew had to hold onto us. The Norwegians were incredible. They gave us orange juice, coffee and tea, whole wheat bread and crackers. We pigged out. They also gave us ointment for our skin. A lot of us had developed rashes and boils from sitting in saltwater, and we smelled really bad. As the ranking officer, it was Sugar's job to call the Coast Guard to tell them about the sinking. They launched an air and sea search but no bodies were ever found.
The whole ordeal has made me look at things a little differently. I don't worry so much about the bills or the car insurance. It wasn't a good experience. I lost four friends. I feel a sense of loss, of course, but I don't like to dwell on it. Things could have been a lot worse. The raft leaked, but at least we had a raft. The biggest thing that came out of this, though, was the beauty of the human spirit. There were so many little acts of heroism. If somebody lost a piece of biscuit, seven other people gave parts of theirs. If you were cold or crying, someone would put their arms around you. I have seven friends who saved my life, and we'll always be tied together.
I was supposed to be on the Pride for nine months. Then I was going to decide whether to pursue sailing seriously or get out. For obvious reasons, it's just not something I want to do now. I can go back on a boat without any problem, but the desire to making sailing my life—it's just gone.

Well I lasted 4 weeks, how you guys do it I don't know, you must have great discipline. Trying to eat healthier but just can't stop eating wheat totally lol.
It's not that hard, but if you're only having wheat very rarely, you're still better off than the rest. I try to stay away as much as I can, but if someone (for some reason) fixed me a sandwich I don't turn it down. If I had a very serious gluten intolerance though, that would be a different story.
It's not a religion, you haven't sinned, just don't be stupid enough to go back to eating wheat/etc all the time. Make smarter choices, that's all.
I didn't go 100% right away, either. Heck, I still eat some wheat here and there - though it makes my joints hurt and more. But I was from a food desert and ate only packaged foods most of my life. We all come from different places with different goals in mind, so what works for you might not work for me. The biggest thing I did that killed my cravings and food addictions was to eat more organ meats like liver. My best guess is that I was chronically low in most nutrients and so always craved food, but the wrong food! Once I filled my body with real nutrition, the cravings all but disappeared practically. Take it slow, try different things. Heck, even if all you take from PB is to eat more nutrient-dense food and less chaff, you've improved yourself!
I was primal for years but still cheating with wheat a couple times a month, thinking it was no big deal. I recently did a nutrition challenge at my gym and went completely wheat-free for a month, and felt so awesome at the end of it that I stuck to it and haven't had wheat since. I no longer crave it at all, either. I think it's okay to just whittle down slowly at your wheat intake until the cravings get fewer and fewer and you can eventually cut it completely. And like iniQuity said, eating less wheat is better than SAD, even if you're still cheating more than you'd like.
Just take each day as it comes and try again tomorrow if you don't have a good one.
When you see certain foods as poison, it's not so hard.
Try easing into it instead of diving in all at once.
Thanks folks, wise words, I will try again, chocolate is another thing I find hard to resist at times.
Ummm... chocolate (especially good dark chocolate!) is a perfectly acceptable primal treat.
Wheat... bleh. Useless and I don't want it, but yeah... like others have said, give yourself some time.
You don't have to be perfect from day one.
If you are eating it once every couple of weeks or something while you adjust... that is still way better!
Some people have better luck doing drastic changes, while others are more successful doing gradual change.
Four weeks is pretty good. Let's say that for your whole first year of trying to change, every four weeks you just caved and had pizza or a sandwich, or whatever wheaty thing it is you miss. That's 13 servings in a year. Contrast that to someone eating a SAD diet who may be having 365 wheat servings/year - because after all, they can't live without that cereal every morning or that sprouted wheat tofu sandwich at lunch. ;)
Even if you continued for the rest of your life to have 13 wheat/grain days a year, you'd be so much better off than people who think "grain is life."

"Nema" is a local word which expresses the joy you feel when suffering ends. In this part of Mozambique life is tough; malnourished children are sent to muddy ponds for drinking water or to the fields to help to provide food for the family instead of going to school. But the communities are strong and passionate to break the chains of poverty.
Nema Foundation works with 16 of these communities, helping them to provide access to safe drinking water, send their children to school, avoid preventable diseases and relieve poverty in an empowering way. Buying this album will help us to continue and develop our grassroots projects to give the gift of "Nema" to more families.
What sets our charity apart from the crowd is the way we design and run our projects. We have a wide array of projects because there are so many areas that must be tackled to eradicate poverty for good. Plus, each community has its own most pertinent needs which we can help them address first. All our projects use the same set of strict principles which enables villages to realize projects themselves, each reinforcing the next.
Nema projects fall into five main categories: Health, Education, Water. Enterprise, Environment.
A very heartfelt thanks from everyone at Nema to Benjamin Siva-Pereira for creating the concept of the album, reaching out to artists and making the dream of this album a reality. Also a special thanks also to each of the artists who have donated so many stunning tracks.

Tour Stop 11: The Last Turn
Just past the concrete walk there is an open shallow, muddy marsh area to the right of the boardwalk. I have seen as many as four Sora (small rails that look like tiny brown gallinules with bright yellow beaks) feeding here at once. Spend some time looking around the edges of the pond. You're sure to see Teals, Grebes, Ibis, and various herons and egrets. This is the last stop on the tour. Wakodahatchee was first conceived in 1992, and was built by the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department between 1995 and 1996 at a cost of $2.85 million. Wakodahatchee allows Palm Beach County to perform the required task of waste water filtration while simultaneously reclaiming wetland environment and providing the public with a park-like setting. If you are planning to visit Wakodahatchee in the near future, I hope you find this tour informative. If you are a frequent visitor, please suggest improvements or send comments by selecting the "Comments" link on the main page. Thanks for taking the virtual tour! Come back soon.

It costs our consumers a $100 billion a year when it could be replaced by methanol for natural gas and reduce pollution and c02 30%+ while lowering prices to Americans and creating excellent jobs for Americans.
Corn ethanol is simply insanity which the Progressives push.
At least we don't have any more "Farm Aid" concerts with Willie Nelson pleading for donations to keep the American farmer going. I think the American farmer is doing just fine and its because of Ethanol.
Of course you do simply because you chose to live ignorant. How are cattle and dairy farmers doing? Chicken, fish and all the other value added business in the agriculture economy?
How about the record amount of world competition which the artificially increased crony capitalist corn prices have created? Why will that not end up like sugar on the world markets?
You are a silly uncaring person because you do not think.
Just talked to my brother and he said his weed eater bit the dust because of Methanol mixer with gas. It would seem both are bad for engines big or small.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- State education officials cited a lack of quorum today when they cancelled two state school board meetings slated to be the governing body's first of the year.
According to school board member Mary Scott Hunter, the meeting was canceled when members Stephanie Bell of Montgomery, Jeffery Newman of Millport, Betty Peters of Kinsey and Tracy Roberts of Spanish Fort were unable to attend.
State education officials have rescheduled the meetings for Thursday, the same day the school board already had two unrelated meetings scheduled.
The new Thursday schedule is as follows:
- 8:30 a.m., work session for postsecondary education matters, Presidents Conference Room in the Center for Postsecondary Education at 135 South Union Street in Montgomery,
- 10:30 a.m., work session for K-12 matters, Plaza 104 of the Gordon Persons Building at 50 North Ripley Street in Montgomery,
- 1 p.m., special-called meeting for K-12 business, Auditorium of the Gordon Persons Building, and
- 3 p.m. regular meeting for postsecondary business, Board Room 554 in the Center for Postsecondary Education.
The delay puts off an anticipated vote designed in part to quell ongoing complaints about the state's continued use of Common Core State Standards for math and English.
Spokeswoman Malissa Valdes-Hubert said the agenda item -- said to make a number of minor changes to the courses of study for math and English -- will "reflect the ability to better address the customized learning needs of students."
"The standards are now given a continual review," she said.
Prior to the adoption of the common core, state education standards were reviewed only once every six to seven years, according to Valdes-Hubert.
The state education department was unable to provide specific text of the proposed changes.
But officials have noted the mere act of making the changes contrasts with complaints leveled by some common core detractors who say the state board has surrendered control over its standards to out-of-state authorities.
Critics have noted letters of agreement between common core developers and adopting states requesting that the states maintain the standards as is and only allow 15 percent be set aside for local content.
State education officials argued that letter of agreement was not binding, and common core officials acknowledged they had no means of enforcing the agreement.
Just the same, the state board of education rescinded its letter of agreement late last year in an attempt to reassure the public the board maintains control over the standards.
The common core are education standards developed through the Common Core State Standards Initiative, a cooperative initiative of the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and others.
Eduction standards are intended to tell schools and teachers what students should learn in each
grade in order to be prepared for college or careers upon graduation.
Alabama implemented the standards for math in 2012 and for English this year. The state has not adopted the Common Core assessments, instead opting for an ACT product aligned with the new standards.
The standards have been criticized as a federal intrusion into state-run education since the Obama administration announced in 2009 that state's seeking certain education grants would be scored in part on whether they had adopted the common core.
Updated at 5:47 p.m. Jan. 8, 2014 to add details on email to school board members.

NORTON SHORES — When molten metal came in contact with a water-filled copper coil inside Cannon-Muskegon Corp. Monday afternoon, the steam that resulted caused the furnace to explode, a fire official said.
Norton Shores Fire Chief Dave Purchase said something caused a ceramic furnace liner to be "breached," which allowed molten metal to come in contact with the copper coil.
"We don't know what caused it to be breached," Purchase said. "A breakdown of the ceramic furnace liner caused molten metal to come into contact with water, which instantly turns to steam. That sudden conversion to steam is what caused the explosion."
No hazardous chemicals were involved in the fire, Purchase said.

WEST MICHIGAN — Hunters and snowmobilers will be able to continue enjoying their recreational activities in the Huron-Manistee National Forest after a decision by the federal government's regional forester. The U.S. Forest Service announced Monday that it had selected an alternative, forced by a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in 2010, that will allow gun hunting and snowmobiling in "semiprimitive nonmotorized" areas, which account for about 67,000 acres or 7 percent of the national forest's 987,000 acres. One of the four alternative plans would have banned hunting and snowmobiling in those areas.

Christopher Brumme, architect on the .NET CLR team, talks about the long-range future of Windows. Charles Torre wants to know if a managed kernel is possible.
Oops, something didn't work.
Woot.. AND after we have this wonderful kernel, why not store everything in XML. [/Sarcasm]
You guys seriously live in your own little magical world where CPU is infinite all you do it comes up with thousands of new ways to make our computers EVEN slower. There is a need to find a good balance between speed and security, building the kernel in this way is not the answer. It is like the one step forward two steps back approach.
Seriously, lately it seems like increases in CPU and RAM have only been used to let software get fat and programmers lazy. The XML parser is example 1 in that case.
I am a Researcher leading a project to build a prototype research OS kernel, called Singularity, on managed code. We are using Singularity to exploring issues of system reliability. In this context, I loosely define reliabity as, "the system never does anything
unexpected or unanticipated by the its designers, developers, administrators, or users."
Sounds very interesting, but I imagine it'll be several years before this gets anywhere near a commercial product.
In my opinion,
Windows' kernel should definately become .NET-based in the future, when hardware will be better. Old Win32 kernel compatibility should be provided as an emulated environment, just like is DOS today in Win32. Getting the kernel to .NET is a needed step forward, and even if the computers will run it slower, it will be extremely benefic especially for developers (including drivers developers or so, which today have many headaches with developing on the not-managed core of Windows). Personally, I always exchange speed on elegance, therefore, I vote for it: bring .NET to the Windows core as soon as technically possible and economically possible...
Beside those thoughts, I think that Micrsoft should talk with Intel, AMD or so, to create .NET-supporting processors, processors which hopefully will be able to run MSIL directly, therefore, very fast! What do you think about this hardware change to come together with the new .NET Windows core?
damphlett wrote:Has anyone manufactured (or is anyone planning to) a cpu that can execute IL directly? surely there's no speed compromise on a CPU that could do that?
Manip wrote:This is insanity. I mean if you were serious about sacrificing speed for security then why not look at a Micro-Kernel? I mean the big draw-back of that is you have a speed drop (nowhere near how much this would) but is more secure because the modules can't damage the core kernel.
It would also load super-fast and be super-stable!

Manip wrote:The core kernel is dramatically smaller. So the core kernel will load faster, could also be better optimized for a speedy load (appearance of speed to the user). Also, it is easier to pick and choose what is in the kernel and thus less should be loaded at all.

Paiyaa (English: Boy) is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language romantic road action film written, produced and directed by N. Linguswamy.[2] It stars Karthi and Tamannaah, with Milind Soman, Sonia Deepti and Jagan appearing in supporting roles.[3] The film follows the journey of two strangers – a jobless carefree man, living in Bangalore, and a woman with whom he has fallen in love. Upon the woman's request, he drives her to Mumbai, while a group of gangsters follow them, planning to kidnap the woman. Meanwhile, the man also has a past in the city and he goes there to sort it out.
The film, produced by N. Subash Chandra Bose under the banner of Thirupathi Brothers and distributed by Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies, features a film score and soundtrack composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematography by Madhi and editing by Anthony Gonsalves. Following a lengthy pre-production phase, during which the film underwent major changes in its main cast and its technical crew, it began shooting in December 2008 at various locations throughout South India, most notably in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.[4] The film was released on 2 April 2010 to predominantly positive reviews and was commercially successful.[5][6] A Telugu dubbed version of the film titled Awara was released on 21 May in Andhra Pradesh and also received positive response and it was also dubbed in Hindi as Bhaai - Ek Gangster.[7]
Paiyaa was remade in Bengali in 2012 as Jaaneman, starring Soham Chakraborty and Koel Mallick,[8][9] and in Kannada in 2014 as Ajith, with Chiranjeevi Sarja playing the male lead.[10]
Shiva (Karthi) is a young, carefree, unemployed man staying in Bangalore. He has a loyal group of friends including his best friend, a young woman named Priya (Sonia Deepti) with whom he shares his feelings. His friends are determined to get him a job. One day he sees a young, beautiful woman named Charulatha (Tamannaah), who is also looking for a job. Shiva is immediately attracted to her. He subsequently spots Charulatha on various occasions and follows her, but loses sight of her each time. He even misses a job interview Priya has arranged for him.
Later, as Shiva waits at the railway station to pick up a friend and owner of the Mitsubishi Lancer Shiva and his friends use, he is confronted by a tense Charulatha, accompanied by her uncle. They assume that Shiva is a cab driver and ask him to take them to Chennai. An excited Shiva accepts the offer and takes them. While stopping to refuel the car, Charulatha suddenly requests Shiva to drive on, leaving her uncle behind; Shiva does as she wishes and takes off. She first asks Shiva to drop her at the airport but she misses the flight and later at a railway station, she is unable to go by train,so she asks Shiva if he will take her to Mumbai by car.
Shiva instantly agrees and drives her to Mumbai. Shiva tries to get into a conversation with Charulatha. She initially refuses to talk, but eventually gives in and tells him about her background. It comes to light that Charulatha's mother, who had always supported her daughter, died after a violent altercation with her father; since then her father has tried to force Charulatha to marry an unknown man of his choice. Not willing to bow to her father's wishes, she had escaped from home, but was later found by her father's business partner, Jayaraman, her supposed uncle. He was about to take her to register the marriage arranged by her father when Charulatha tried to escape, leaving him behind at the filling station. Now she wants to head to Mumbai to stay at her grandmother's home.
However, she is being followed by a gang, led by a furious Telugu-speaking lady. Shiva manages to lose the pursuers and decides to change the route to avoid the gang, but encounters a second gang. He realises that this gang is not following Charulatha, but himself, as they are the henchmen of a Mumbai-based gangster Baali (Milind Soman). He recalls an incident that happened some years ago in Mumbai, when he stayed there at his friend Poochi's (Jagan) house. He had beaten one of Baali's men, who had attacked him, and later Baali himself, not knowing about him and his reputation in the city, and returned to Bangalore. Both gangs are following the couple to achieve their own ends. After reaching Mumbai and experiencing a series of events, they end up at Poochi's house. Poochi finds out where the grandmother lives and Shiva brings Charulatha there. Shiva, unable to bear the thought that the journey is complete, leaves silently only to find Charulatha on the road. After hesitating, she reveals that her relatives had spoken ill about her parents, which prompted her leave, not wanting to push the matter further. While in a state of doubt, they are attacked by Baali's gang, who have teamed up with Jayaraman.
Shiva saves Charulatha from the clutches of the goons by single-handedly overpowering them. While on their way back to Bangalore, his friends arrive. Priya, whom Shiva has called often, tells Charulatha of his feelings for her. Charulatha reciprocates Shiva's love, as she too has fallen for him during the journey, thus both unite.

In September 2007, while working on Bheema, a film starring Vikram, Linguswamy announced that Karthi would star in his next venture to be launched in January 2008.[11] He said that he had written a story "suitable for Karthi", further adding that it would be "an action oriented film".[12] The following month, sources suggested that he was planning a bilingual project, filming simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu with Karthi and Ram Charan Teja, respectively.[13][14] However, in early November, reports claimed that Vishal would portray the protagonist after Linguswamy had considered Jayam Ravi for the lead character.[15][16] The reports proved to be false and Karthi was confirmed as the lead actor of the film.[17]
The film failed to begin production in January 2008, with sources reporting in March that Linguswamy was still working on the script. The film was yet to be titled. It was to feature the main crew members of Bheema, including music director Harris Jayaraj, cinematographer R. D. Rajasekhar and editor Anthony.[18] Linguswamy later announced the film with an entirely new crew; Yuvan Shankar Raja replaced Jayaraj as the film's music composer,[19] and Madhi was selected as the cinematographer, after Rajasekhar had opted out of the project as he was busy working on Jaggubhai.[20] Linguswamy chose Priya Manikandan, wife of cinematographer Manikandan, as the chief costume designer, for whom Paiyaa would be her first film project.[21] Linguswamy further revealed that the film would be produced by his home production studio Thirupathi Brothers and denied that it was a remake of a Telugu film.[22] Lingusamy disclosed later that he had written two scripts, out of which Karthi eventually chose Paiyaa,[23] because he wanted to do an "urban love story" after two successive roles as a ruffian.[24] Initially titled as Kuthirai, it was later renamed as Paiyaa,[25] which was considered a tentative, working title only.[26] Karthi said he was " ... dying to start shooting for Paiyaa " and to " ... wear good clothes ... and he accepted the film because he " ... desperately wanted to play a cool dude on screen.[27][28]
The filming was supposed to begin in August 2009.[29] However, due to the slow progress of Karthi's ongoing project, Aayirathil Oruvan, Paiyaa was postponed several times,[30] since Karthi needed to maintain the continuity of his looks for his role in Aayirathil Oruvan. Its producer Ravindran complained at the Tamil Film Producers Council that Karthi was trying to change his look and move on to Paiyaa before finishing his commitments, which forced Linguswamy to readjust the schedules.[31] The shooting finally began in December 2008. The film's music was released in November 2009 along with the trailer.[32] In late 2009, after finishing the filming of Paiyaa, Lingusamy disclosed his plans of remaking the film in Telugu and Hindi as well.[33] Later, as Yuganikki Okkadu, the Telugu dubbed version of Karthi's Aayirathil Oruvan, emerged as successful in Andhra Pradesh,[34] the team instead decided to dub and release the film in Telugu to cash in on Karthi's new-found popularity in the state.[7][35] The Telugu version was titled Awara and its audio was released in March 2010; Awara was released simultaneously with the Tamil version. In March 2010, the film's distribution rights were acquired by Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies.[1] This film is also dubbed version in Hindi as "Aakhri Baazi"
In July 2008, actress Nayantara was signed for the female lead role in Paiyaa for a record salary of ₹1 crore. Speaking about the issue, the director admitted that she was one of his favourite actress and he liked her performance in Yaaradi Nee Mohini. He also quoted: "The way her career graph shot up is intriguing. Unlike others her career progressed in reverse gear. She paired up with the superstar during the early years of her career and started accepting roles with heroes of next generation." She also expressed her interest to work in the project.[36] However, plans were made to trim the film's budget due to the economic recession,[23] and discussions were held with Nayantara to reduce her salary. The talks resulted in failure and Nayantara left the project in December 2008.[37] Later, she was accused of cheating the director by refusing to return an advance of ₹15 lakh she had taken before commencement, after walking out of the film. The director filed a complaint with the Tamil Film Producers Council, which decided to ban the actress.[38] Subsequently Trisha was reported to have won the role,[39] before Tamannaah was finalised as the female lead, who was signed for ₹80 lakh.[40] Later in December 2008, Milind Soman, who had last appeared in Pachaikili Muthucharam, was signed up for the main antagonist's role, a Mumbai-based don,[41] with other minor antagonists numbering up to 18.[42]
After Karthi had completed his film Aayirathil Oruvan, the principal photography for Paiyaa began on 24 December 2008 at a highway near Bangalore.[43] Shooting carried on in and around Bangalore in the following weeks. The film's main portions were extensively shot across some major highways, where the story plays, whilst the climax was filmed in Mumbai, where the journey would also end.[4] The filming also took place in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.[4]
In May 2009, a street fight was filmed near the Chembarambakkam Lake in Chennai.[44] Later that month, a song ("Suthudhe Suthudhe Boomi"), choreographed by Sabeena Khan, was shot at Prasad Studios in Chennai, where a set had been erected by art director Rajeevan. The song was said to have featured computer graphics and visual effects with which forests and mountain ranges were created.[45] In June 2009, after nearly six months of shooting, more than sixty-five percent of the project was completed, with a song and the climax sequences being the remaining parts to be filmed.[4] A twenty-five-day schedule was to be held in Mumbai and Pune,[46] but the shooting got halted in July due to heavy rains.[47] In October 2009, the final action scenes of the climax involving Karthi and Milind Soman were filmed in Mumbai and its suburbs in a ten-day schedule,[48] following which a rain song ("Adada Mazhaida"), featuring Karthi and Tamannaah, was shot at the Athirappilly waterfalls in Kerala.[49]
The soundtrack for Paiyaa was scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, collaborating with Linguswamy again after Sandakozhi (2005).[50] The audio launch function was held on 22 November 2009 at the Satyam Cinemas, which was attended by many prominent film personalities; director Shankar released the soundtrack.[32][51] The album originally features five songs with vocals by singers Karthik, Benny Dayal, Haricharan, Rahul Nambiar and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja himself. Three songs were reportedly composed and recorded in Singapore.[50] The lyrics were provided by Na. Muthukumar. The album received highly positive reviews and responses from critics and audiences alike and the songs were considered to have played an important role for the film's success.[52]
The satellite rights of the film were sold to Kalaignar TV.[53] The film was initially scheduled for a late 2009 release, but was pushed to 14 January 2010 coinciding with the Tamil harvest festival Thai Pongal. Karthi's second film Aayirathil Oruvan, which was in production for nearly three years, was also planned to release on the same day. According to the Tamil Film Producers Council, two films starring the same actor could not be released on the same day, so Aayirathil Oruvan was given priority, whilst Paiyaa was postponed for 30 days. The release was postponed again for some reasons, before finally hitting the screens on 2 April 2010.[54] The film had its premiere at the Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai.[55]
Box office[edit]
Paiyaa got a solo release on 2 April 2010, coinciding with Good Friday. It earned ₹71 lakh in the opening weekend across Chennai with an average occupancy of 90%.[56] The film grossed ₹3 crore in the first three days and was declared a commercial success within a few days.[57][58] In the United Kingdom the film was distributed by B4U and was released across six screens, grossing £21,021 in the opening weekend, opening at the 23rd place.[59] Furthermore, in Malaysia, the film opened across 34 screens and collected $349,368 after the second week.[60] In Tamil Nadu, it netted ₹13 crore from 300 screens in two weeks.[61][61]
Critical reception[edit]
Upon release, the film generally received positive reviews, with most critics calling the film "summer entertainer" and lauding its technical aspects. Sify described the film as a "road movie laced with mass elements and extraordinary songs", adding that it is a "jolly good ride".[62] The reviewer praised the "loveable lead pair" for their "credible performance, which makes up for the plot holes". He said that technically the film was Linguswamy's his best, with Mathi's "eye-catching camera work", Antony's "crisp editing", Rajeevan's "exotic set designs", and praised composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, whose "foot-tapping" songs "scorch just like the desert sun" and were all "rocking", while his background score was a "perfect co-ordination with the narration". A reviewer from the Times of India, Bhama Devi Ravi, gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that "the story is not earth-shatteringly new, but what pulls you into the movie is the different spin that Lingusamy gives to the familiar story".[63] She praised the lead pair's performance, particularly Karthi, who "comes up with an enjoyable performance", as well as the film's technical values, describing the camera work as "mind-blowing", Brinda Sarathy's dialogues as "thoroughly enjoyable" and Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs as "a real treat". Indiaglitz described the film as a "racy action adventure" and "undeniably an entertainer this summer", writing that Linguswamy has brought out "a classy entertainer" and Karthi and Tamannaah's performances are "absolutely great".[64] Regarding the technical crew, the reviewer cited that the camera work was "immaculate", while editor Anthony and stunt coordinator Kanal Kannan had done "an incredible and marvellous job". The music, in particular, was described as "the greatest strength of the movie" and his background score as "excellent".
Behindwoods gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars, describing the film as "a stylish, light hearted family entertainer for the summer" and a "Pacy road show with a few humps on a straight run".[65] It too, like the other reviewers, cited that Karthi had brought out an "enjoyable performance", whilst describing Yuvan Shankar Raja as "the major backbone of Paiya". Moreover, he cited that Brinda Sarathy's dialogues "evoke laughter", the car chasing sequence is "absolutely brilliant", the cinematographer "needs plaudits" and the "crisp editing" by Anthony as a "major plus point." In contrast, Rediff's Pavithra Srinivasan cited that there was "[n]othing entertaining about Paiyya" and that film was worth a watch only for Karthi's screen presence, "pretty" Tamannaah and Yuvan's songs, despite giving 2.5 out of 5 stars.[66] She criticised Linguswamy's script as the film's "biggest minus", adding that the film "starts out so very promisingly", describing the first half was "racy, peppy and enthusiastic, only to fizzle out with no appreciable sequences in the second half."

More than 40 years after they traveled to India to study transcendental meditation, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will reunite for the cause
The only two surviving Beatles, who rarely appear in public together, will perform at "Paul McCartney and Friends: Change Begins Within," a benefit taking place April 4 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Proceeds will go to the meditation-promoting David Lynch Foundation, with the goal of teaching a million at-risk children to meditate.
McCartney said, in a press release, that he has benefited from practicing meditation over the last four decades.
"In moments of madness, it has helped me find moments of serenity," he said, adding of the event's goal to help children learn to meditate, "I would like to think that it would help provide them a quiet haven in a not-so-quiet world."
In the same press release, Starr characterized "the aims of this charity" as "wonderful."
It is not known to what extent McCartney and Starr will perform together. Other performers will include Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Moby, Paul Horn, Bettye LaVette and Jim James (of the band My Morning Jacket).
Donovan and Horn studied transcendental meditation along with the Beatles in India, in 1968. Their instructor, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, died last year.
Filmmaker Lynch ("Blue Velvet," "Mulholland Drive," "The Elephant Man") will serve as a presenter at the event, as will celebrities like Russell Simmons and Laura Dern.
Tickets, priced at $79.50-$504.50, go on sale at 11 a.m. Monday; call (866) 858-0008 or visit ticketmaster.com. For information on special benefit tickets and packages, visit davidlynchfoundation.org.

Art of Deception Lyrics[Intro: Ace Hood]
Ace Hood
Feel me? Word.
[Hook: Ace Hood]
Everything that shines aint a diamond
tomorrow is a gift that aint promised
nobody's perfect we all need alignments
if things are understood boy we timin
if I die would you miss me?
if I fall would you lift me?
I swear life is such a mystery
I'm livin to become a part of history
[Verse 1: Ace Hood]
look in the mirror I can see your shame
know your hurt but dont know your name
see you smile just to cover pain
while you patiently waiting to change
tears runnin like a faucet
hear the whispers as they gossip
pretty girl with a cold heart
lifes like a script shes just playin the part
love found in the wrong place
self-esteem at its lowest rate
mama gon fuck her where abouts
plenty sold dreams man in and out
aint seen her Dad in like 7 years
so she using drugs to try and heal
if I fucked you would you promise to stay?
she dont know no other way
bad bitches in my living room
mind thinkin im gonna get it soon
thinking all the ways im gonna get that
long legs I'm a have them pinned back
pretty as a summer day
and cold as a winter night
I pray that every soul gets to shine bright
Lord knows when the time right
[Verse 2: Ace Hood]
Mama told me
hard head make her so fast
dollar bills make her pole dance
she aint interested in any romance
better come get with the program
how is life when your daddy gone?
only daughter she being led on
how the charcter know she dead wrong?
facing karma its coming head on
she think she grown only 17
whole world she aint never seen
many men have traveled in between
said he loved her and flipped it like its a trampoline
cold world kick your foot up close
doing 40 in a Phantom Ghost
keep the ones who you love close
not assuming you just never know, hey
[Outro: Ace Hood]
Yeah, Im livin to become a part of history, wooo!

When the new Administration came to Washington last year, a lot of women started fantasizing about that big Bubba in the Oval Office. But since Al Gore Jr.'s ashtray-and image-shattering performance on Late Show with David Letterman and his floor-mopping job with Ross Perot on Larry King Live, the focus of attention seems to have shifted. Just check out the February 1994 Esquire magazine poll of Generation X women: A majority felt that the 46-year-old Veep would be "hotter in bed" than Clinton. (Hey, whatever happened to polls about healthcare reform?) Possessing what The New York Times called "the wholesome looks of a soap opera doctor," part of the 6'2" Gore's Clark Kent-ish charm is that he doesn't know he's the modern woman's Superman. "Women swoon, and he doesn't even notice," an aide once said. "It almost makes you wonder how they got four children." Tipper, his wife of 24 years, has no doubts. "Absolutely pure animal magnetism," she thought when she first met him at a dance at a Washington prep school. In fact, women didn't chase Gore at college, says his Harvard roommate Tommy Lee Jones, because "they were all afraid of Tipper."
Lest we forget, brains burnish beauty. The former Tennessee senator is a best-selling author and info-bahn specialist whose cool command of facts and figures makes him, in the words of one friend, "the sexiest man on C-SPAN." And that, according to his boss, is what makes the package work. "Anybody who really knows him," President Clinton has said, "will tell you he's got an incredibly flexible mind." It's the intelligence, stupid.
Al Gore Jr.

Taiwan - The Culture of Tea
The mystery and majesty of tea is explored when Joseph spotlights the culture of this royal beverage on Taiwan. During this adventure he travels to Lujang to join in the creation of traditional tea snacks, visits an Assam tea farm in Nantou, participates in a formal tea ceremony in Tainan and tops it all off with a visit to the annual Lantern Festival in Chiayi. Along the way he meets the masters of Taiwan's pottery, tin-sculpting and lantern-making arts.

"A big, beautiful travel book" -USA Today
Answering the difficult questions that today's savvy travelers ask—where's the best place for a beach getaway in March? What are my options if June is the only time I can take a vacation? I'm getting married in November, where would be the perfect place for a honeymoon?—this is the must-have book for anyone planning a vacation or a longer adventure.
Consultant Editor Joseph Rosendo and a team of travel experts have combined inspirational narrative with sumptuous photography to bring over 130 global destinations to life, from snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef or cruising the Galapagos Islands to marveling at the mighty Victoria Falls or grazing at the Galway Oyster Festival. Domestic getaways aren't overlooked, either: the fall foliage in Northeast Vermont is radiant in September; the funky, sunny Florida Keys are an ideal February getaway and both the jaw-dropping California Coast and lush Kaua'i make for fantastic October trips.
