Cozumel Dolphin Royal Swim
Cozumel's Dolphin Royal Swim is by far the most popular dolphin interaction activity in Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park and for good reason! The activities and interaction with the dolphins is not only fast-paced, but also never-ending as there is always something else that follows. How about receiving a dolphin handshake, there is nothing like a dolphin kiss and then you get to give the dolphins a kiss, too! The strength and power of your new dolphin friends is incredible as they push you across the water from the bottom of your feet in the thrilling foot-push activity or pull you along with the dorsal fin tow. The Dolphin Royal Swim truly is "the experience of a lifetime!"
The Dolphin Royal Swim adventure excitement starts with a swim-by, then a very special "kiss" and on to the demonstration of several different behaviors including the "Foot Push" where the dolphins will push you through the water just like Superman and the "Dorsal Tow" where you will have the chance to be pulled across the water surface by two dolphins, the "Hurdle Jump" and then finally "Free Time" where you can interact freely with the two (2) Atlantic Bottle-nosed dolphins as you would like.
Insider has been assisting tourists with booking their Cozumel Dolphin Programs for years and due to this long-standing partnership, we are able to offer the best promotional offers you will find for your "once-in-a-life-time" swim with the dolphins here in Cozumel.
An Experience "NOT TO BE MISSED"...

Thanks again!

Hi Sherri, thank you so much for finalizing our Dolphin Royal Swim and changing the time slot as you suggested. It makes more sense and I really appreciate your input. I will definitely pass your name forward for future travelers. Actually my daughter and her husband gave me your name since they were there last year at your PalMar SMALL Beach Club. Nothing but praise for you. Thanks again, if we get a chance we will try to stop by and say hi. Rich C
Rich C. (July 2016) ~ Inverness, FL
First of all, I want to say thank you so much for sharing your wonderful island with my family. Secondly, we did the Royal Dolphin Swim with Dorie and Belle, and it was the most AWESOME time of our lives. One lady in our session cried at the end, saying this was the greatest thing that she has ever done. The Park was beautiful, and everyone was very helpful. Thank you again for a wonderful time.
D. Smith ~ USA
My husband and I had the "BEST" time at your park. The dolphin encounter was truly amazing! We can't wait to come back and let our children experience it. It is on the top of our "to do" list with our children. Thanks for the exceptional hopitatily!
S. and R. Ketron ~ Cincinnati, OH USA
Two friends and I booked the dolphin swim AND got the manatee encounter for 15 minutes for thru Cozumel Insider. The manatee was FREE. The price, including the park, was only $88 when booked in advance. The park fee alone is $21...that's $77 PP for both a dolphin swim with about 11 others, incl. 4 children, AND the manatee. Our party of 3 were the only ones to get the manatee and she was a highlight of our trip. We got to feed her lettuce for almost 15 minutes as the guide explained her life to us. We are grateful for both experiences at such a great price. Thanks, Sherri. I can see where it's harder to find your story on your site. Can you repost it? It's very unusual and inspirational to others. Cheryl & Michael, MA

The Digital Skeptic: What's Dumb at CES 2013
LAS VEGAS ( TheStreet) -- If what's going down up here at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show is any indication, foolishness won't be taking a holiday in 2013.
Maybe it's the dry desert air, the go-nowhere economy or, for the first time I can recall, the fact that Apple (AAPL) is not sucking the oxygen out of this event with a looming product announcement, but confusion definitely reigns here in the high Mojave.
Sure, the Toshibas, HPs (HPQ) and Dells (DELL) of the world are working the room hard making the case for Windows 8 PCs. And 3-D printing is also working the room: Firms such as Sculpteo, MakerBot, Stratasys and 3D Systems are all showing advancements in spraying thin layers of plastic to make stuff.
And there are, in fact, some great products.
Take my 48-hour demo with Sennheiser's $1,000 IE 800 In-ear headphones . Axel Grell, the audio genius behind these headsets, told me he that spent four years creating a brand-new transducer that solves most earbud issues, then insisted the units be built by hand outside of Hanover, Germany, from the ceramics dental surgeons use. These units set the bar for excellence at CES 2013.
But all of this masks some simply ridiculous blunders.
Apple not showing up
I am going to tell you the secret of CES. Brand giant Apple may not show up to the show, but that does not mean they ignore it. Steve Jobs was always very careful to tease a major product announcement over CES to distract from the event.
Not this year.
Not one of the literally dozens of analysts, product managers, other journalists and buyers I have spoken here weren't startled by how much of a non-factor Apple is at this year's CES.
"Apple will continue to amaze, certainly," Carrie Cowan, a product marketing manager for Toshiba, explained to me while doing an in-depth product demo on the 64th floor of THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. " But I am not getting the level of questions I used to get about how my products compete with theirs."
But Apple is still Apple, and its answer to Windows 8 will almost certainly be one of the big questions in 2013. But it feels significant that Apple missed this moment to beat the iDrum. If the Apple bashers are on to something, Q1 2013 might just turn out to be the high mark before the slide.
It's still the screen, stupid
The CES 2013 show floor is a display slum. Among the dead men wandering around here are 3-D, ultra-high-definition and traditional PC displays. All are either non-starters or mature markets. Reports from bright people such as Craig Stice at IHS iSuppli Market Intelligence nail the vibe: When the counting is done, the numbers will probably show that PC shipments declined in 2012 for the first time in a decade.

Chicago Blackhawks Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The Chicago Blackhawks were founded back in 1926, and are one of the oldest U.S. franchises in the NHL. The Blackhawks have won 15 division titles, three conference titles and five Stanley Cups –numbers that are very impressive considering the franchise experienced an epic championship drought between 1961 and 2010.
The Blackhawks won three Stanley Cups between 1934 and 1962 and were consistently among the top franchises in the NHL. After the title season in '61, though, the Blackhawks entered what was one of the longest championship droughts the NHL had ever seen. The Blackhawks had talent and regularly made the playoffs, but they could not capitalize when it mattered most and they would go over 40 years without claiming another title. Chicago remained relevant in the '60s with future Hall of Famer Phil Esposito emerging as a star in the early stages of his career. Esposito teamed up with Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita to form one of the premier teams in the NHL – all three players were eventually inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Blackhawks regained the Stanley Cup in 2010 after a 49-year championship drought. Before the season started, Chicago made a huge splash in free agency when it signed Marian Hossa to a 12-year deal, which brought them one of the elite players in the game. Hossa aligned with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane to form the core of a championship team.
With a strong group of players, the Blackhawks made the playoffs after posting a solid regular season record of 52-22-8. Chicago defeated the Nashville Predators in the first round, took down the Vancouver Canucks in the second round before cruising past the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Finals. The Philadelphia Flyers awaiting the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals and with the pressure on Chicago was able to capitalize in the playoffs for the first time in 49 years. The Blackhawks beat the Flyers in six games and claimed their first title since 1961.
Chicago, once plagued by a legendary championship drought, found itself in its second Stanley Cup in four years during the 2013 season. The Blackhawks advanced to the Finals after beating the Minnesota Wild, Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Playoffs. In order to claim a second title in four years the Blackhawks would have to take down the Boston Bruins. Chicago once again capitalized on a deep playoff run and beat the Bruins in six games to claim the fifth Stanley Cup titles in franchise history.
The Blackhawks have a lengthy history full of rich stories that have survived the test of time. Across the U.S. and the world, fans proudly wear their Blackhawks gear. After suffering through a legendary Stanley Cup drought, Chicago has established itself as a franchise accustomed to winning and doing so on a consistent level and that's why investing in Blackhawks memorabilia is such an easy decision. With a list of Hall of Famers like Phil Esposito, Tony Esposito, Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita there isn't a shortage of available classic Blackhawks memorabilia. Any piece of Blackhawks memorabilia would be a fantastic addition to a memorabilia collection.
Bobby Hull Autographed Sticks: Bobby Hull is a Hall of Fame player who played the majority of his successful career with the Chicago Blackhawks. Hull enjoyed a very successful NHL career and is often labeled as one of the best to grace the game. During the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup run in 1961, Hull was a major contributor and Chicago fans will always cherish him for that. Fans and collectors should invest in a Bobby Hull autographed stick to honor every goal and game-changing play he made on the ice. As his legacy continues to grow Bobby Hull memorabilia will steadily increase in value making items, like a Bobby Hull signed stick, a great investment for both collectors and fans.
Tony Esposito Signed Pucks: Tony Esposito was one of the most elite goalkeepers ever to play the game. Regarded as one of the best in NHL history, Esposito is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame and enjoyed a lengthy career as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. With a Tony Esposito signed puck, fans and collectors can invest in a valuable piece of memorabilia that will remain very desirable over the years. Each Tony Esposito autographed puck also features the official Blackhawks logo so fans can show their Chicago pride while honoring one of the top players in franchise history.
Autographed Phil Esposito Photos: A member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, Phil Esposito played four, but very impactful, seasons for the Blackhawks throughout career. Esposito emerged as a premier player in the NHL while a member of the Blackhawks and the rest is history. Fans and collectors can invest in a piece of hockey history with a signed Phil Esposito photo. A Phil Esposito autographed photo that pictures the Hall of Famer in a Blackhawks jersey is as a fantastic addition to any classic NHL collection. Considering his memorable place in franchise history, items with a Phil Esposito autograph are very valuable and iconic for all fans of the Blackhawks.
Signed Jonathan Toews Jerseys: As a three-time NHL All-Star, Jonathan Toews has been one of the best young players in the NHL since being selected with the third overall pick in the 2006 draft by the Blackhawks. Toews has been a dominant force for the Blackhawks franchise since beginning his professional hockey career and he played a huge role in the two Stanley Cup championships Chicago has won with him on the roster. With a Jonathan Toews signed jersey, fans and collectors can preserve a piece of NHL history from one of the best franchises in the league. Die-hard Blackhawks fans can also show their team pride with an autographed Jonathan Toews jersey that features official Chicago team colors and logos. Invest in a Blackhawks jersey with a Jonathan Toews autograph now because as this NHL star continues to write his name in hockey history, the value of his signature will soar.
Stan Mikita Signed Pucks: Stan Mikita is one of the many Hall of Fame players who made a name for themselves while playing for the legendary Chicago Blackhawks franchise. Mikita was a dominant force for Chicago and was widely viewed as one of the best players during the 1960s. Mikita played 21 seasons with the Blackhawks and in that time he provided fans with countless memories. Add a Stan Mikita autographed puck to your collection or sports room to preserve the legacy of a Hall of Fame icon. All items with a Stan Mikita autograph are guaranteed to rise in value due to his large success during his playing days and memorable player in NHL history.

Fox Hill - Weather Or Not
I'm lying in the sun on the rooftop deck of our house. Directly above me, the sky is clear and blue. It could be any other beautiful and carefree day on the island of Cozumel. But it's not...
Fox Hill - Under the Big Top
The hands of the clock don't move any slower here, they just don't matter. If you're married to the idea of firm schedules and on-time performance, you'd better stick to Cozumel as a tourist destination.
Fox Hill - Jewels
The color is so intense in the setting sunlight that it doesnt even seem real. The locals are fearless about their use of color in decorating, with vibrant yellows, blues, and reds everywhere. My neighborhood back home was brown and gray.
Fox Hill - Tapestry
Cozumel is draped in a rich tapestry woven from sounds, ranging from the annoying to the sublime.
Fox Hill - All Around Me
Freedom is a thing so clear and light, that you dont notice when it starts to slip away; and once lost, its not easy to find again.

It is clear you have a love of teaching as an art in addition to photography... My expectations for this course were only slightly more than: This is a camera, point at fish, shoot...However, this course was outstanding and could appropriately be titled: An Introduction to Becoming a Professional Photographer.

Tips to help your kids set and attain New Year's resolutions
Hailey Reed and her parents usher in each new year the same way: by sitting down together to share their resolutions. The 15-year-old from Seffner, Fla. (pop. 7,579), says her recent resolutions have included eating healthier foods, making the honor roll and being a better friend by steering clear of arguments. Like all of us, Hailey finds some goals easier to achieve than others. �It makes me feel great when I stick to a resolution,� she says. �But I don�t feel bad if I slip up.� Setting resolutions since second grade has taught her that occasional slips are part of the process. Hailey�s mom, C. Lee, 41, and her dad, Khris, 39, get into the spirit as well. �Our own resolutions are things like exercising more, having date nights and paying off debt,� C. Lee says. �The annual meeting is a chance for the whole family to talk about the upcoming year and what we�d like to accomplish.� Do you live in a healthy city for kids? Click here to find out. The Reeds are onto something, says says dietitian Bethany Thayer, a wellness director in Detroit and national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. �Making New Year�s resolutions can be a good way for children and teens to learn about the importance of setting goals,� Thayer says. �It should be something the child really wants to do. Keep it fun and positive��no nagging or pressure, she adds. Ready, set, goal! As a parent, you can help your child get the year off to a healthy start by following these guidelines for kid-friendly resolutions: � Consider your child�s age. �To make their own resolutions, children need to be able to think far into the future,� says Susan Bartell, a child and parenting psychologist in Port Washington, N.Y. (pop. 15,846). Most kids aren�t ready to do that until around age 8. If a younger child wants to make a resolution like the big kids, you can certainly help. Just keep in mind that it�s more your goal than his at this age. � Downsize a big goal. Help your child break down a large, long-term goal into smaller, shorter-term steps. For example, if the long-term goal is to get better at basketball, Bartell says, the short-term step might be to shoot hoops or practice dribbling on a regular basis. � Fine-tune it together. Next, help your child refine her resolution. �It should be specific, measurable and achievable,� says Steve Ettinger, a personal trainer and youth fitness expert in New York City. Your child can also specify the time frame for completing it. For example, the goal might be to shoot hoops three times a week for two months. � Focus on the positive. �Let kids know that they haven�t failed if they don�t succeed perfectly,� Bartell says. �The message is, �Great try!�� And do-overs are allowed when it comes to resolutions.

4 Ways to Protect Yourself Against Card Skimmers
There are usually no signs your card was skimmed, but by using the stolen debit card and PIN, a thief can drain all of the money quickly from your bank account. Stolen account numbers can also be sold to online shoppers.
Thieves can insert skimmers -- sold on the Web along with the software to run them -- into card reader sleeves and hide tiny cameras nearby to record PINs.
A skimmer can look like part of the ATM and be very hard to see. After the card is swiped, data on the magnetic stripe are picked by the skimmer's card reader. The information can then be stored on the memory of the skimmer device or transmitted wirelessly to a secondary location.
The camera can be smaller than an eraser head and look like part of the machine. Memory cards can store video footage and details of thousands of unknowing bank customers.
There are some steps you can take to protect against skimmers:
- Before swiping your debit card, give a small tug on the card swiper. If there is any movement or the device comes off, don't use that ATM -- it could be a sign a thief has inserted a skimmer.
- You may be able to keep the thief from seeing your PIN by covering the keyboard with your free hand and blocking the view of a camera.
- Check your account statement regularly for suspicious charges or withdrawals.
- If you think your card has been part of a skimming scam, contact your financial institution immediately.
Chip-and-pin technology could provide better protection against skimmers. These cards use microchip and PINs instead of the magnetic stripe. The embedded chips are encrypted to prevent skimmers from accessing card information. But adoption of these cards has been slow in the United States because it requires a new ATM system and a large investment to install suitable terminals.

Since when did George Halas offer you a chair on his porch so you can yell at everyone to get off his lawn? That was such a horseshit call, even Cross and Criqui knew it. Are they also going to start flagging Lambeau Leaps now? At least have the stones to call it on MoMass for the post-catch dramatics, and not this two-player bullshit.The Dolphins lost this game. The Browns didn't win it.
OIC can the team that executed the two-minute drill for six and the win be said to have 'not won it'.
I'll take a team that plays like shit and is 2-1 over a team that plays like shit and is 0-3. I've seen enough of the latter to know there is a difference.
Real simple chucklehead: if Mo Mass and Watson had run off the field and touched each other on the sideline would we have gotten to this point? Give an official a chance to fuck something up and then bitching about it when he does is fucking stupidity.
Two minute drill? When? When they got the ball back with almost 4 minutes left? They had the ball longer on that drive than most of their other 'drives' during the game.
OIC my balls. They played poorly. They play that way 16 times during a year and they're 3-13. Fucking Colt's hitting DL in their chest, no one here says shit with a mouthful of it on the questionable Dolphin penalties and I have to hear OIC from a kool aid drinker who can't or won't be objective.
They won. They needed the win. Their win was more a function of how shitty the Dolphins were than any improvement the Browns have made. They were extremely fortunate. That doesn't take a thing away from how good the McCoy to MoMass throw was but it's still truth.
People that buy giant spiders are stupid. The end.

Remastering iTunes
ALMOST THIRTY YEARS AGO (can it be?) the compact disc promised "perfect sound forever." Two decades later the iPod, iTunes, and their ilk offered all music, everywhere, all the time.
Today, the first innovation is in decline while the second - despite all the quibbles about data-compressed sound quality, piracy, and the degradation of music into a disposable, mixable, mashable commodity - is ascendant. And yet, some few of us are ungrateful enough to want both; the convenience and ubiquity of iPod-like music files, and the listening experience that digital audio at its best can deliver.
Of course, the people in Hell want ice water too.
But our deserts may be a bit more promising. Sound+Vision has rounded up three approaches to "better sound, at least for now." Two, SRS Labs' iWow and Bongiovi Acoustics' Digital Power Station, are entirely iTunes-centric; one, Prosoft's Hear is a Mac/Windows all-audio-source solution, but all three promise, to one degree or another, to empower listeners to right the wrongs done to music by digitizing it, bit-squeezing it, and reproducing it via tiny earbuds or 10 cc computer speakers.

Skip to comments.Epic Seahawks Meltdown by 10 Year Old
Posted on 01/13/2013 7:54:38 PM PST by NKP_Vet
click here to read article
Speaking as a Browns fan...your guys had a great season.
I did the same when Obama won.
Me too after Pack loss yesterday. I'm like a stunned zombie.
Good to learn about sports disappointments early. There are many in life. I'm just bummed we won't get to see Wilson again. I mean, what's more boring than watching Matt Ryan play?
Same here =)
I was sort of pulling for SanFran and the Ravens, but my husband lost all of his games this weekend...every game was pretty competitive except the New England one...
Poor kid - Falcons did all they could to give the game away, too.
I was about 10 years older than her at the time, but I felt the exact same way Bills vs. Giants Superbowl XXV - Scott Norwood final kick - wide right. Tell her to look for it on youtube.
I lost all of my games, too. I have to say that they all were super games and most could have gone either way. I was watching on the edge of my seat for many of them. If only the actual Super Bowl could be as interesting. So many SBs have been yawners.
Seattle lost cuz:
The coach went for it on 4th down instead of kicking a field goal early in the game.
Coach calling a crappy play that ended up with a sack and running out of time in the 1st half - when they coulda gotten another field goal.
Coach calling a timeout on the last-second Atlanta kick [it went wide-right], giving Atlanta another kick [it sailed thru the uprights].
Just sayin' ...
I react the same way every season. It's hard being a Vikings fan...
I might have had a meltdown. But Notre Dame didn't even show up to play, so there was really nothing to be upset about.
I almost wish they would have overturned the last Seahawks touchdown, so they could have run a little more time off the clock, or at least to force Atlanta to use up their timeouts.
I think it was a tie between Carroll and Fox for worst coaches of the weekend.
Atlanta scored more points.
Did you hear the one about Roethlisberger, Manning, Romo and Cutler walk into a bar?
Seattle area here - went to church this evening so as to watch the game this morning.
The preacher welcomed us and said something like,
"Welcome to worship, a time to fellowship with the Lord, and ask him the really big questions of life. Like why did the Seahawks have Marshan Lynch on the bench for 4th and 1? Why hire a field goal kicker if he doesn't do any work? Etc."
Nobody laughed.
That time-out at the last second Atlanta kick is going to give the coach nightmares for ever. If ever you'd want to live a last second over -———————
...survive and advance...GO FALCONS!!
WHY did Pete Carroll ask for a timeout when the kicker had already done his thing?
I'm no head coach in the NFL, but you NEVER give a kicker a second chance.
Stupid, and dangerous. Kickers "adjust" after an icing. And the Seahawks paid dearly.
as a Niners fan, i was torn on this game... i found myself tooting for both teams! the outcome ended up being what i first wanted.. Go NINERS!
As a Falcon fan, tell her the pain will ease.
The Falcons broke my heart by blowing a lead in a playoff game against the Cowboys in 1981.
Today made up for it so tell her it only hurts for 31 years. :)
I've seen it done to Bryant at least four times. And every time he is "iced", he goes through with his practice kick....even if the opposing team calls it much earlier than Seattle did today.
Really irks the other team when he does it....but so does being "iced".
When will they quit doing that?
It never seems to work and left Seattle with no time outs to get within field goal range. (But then again...Mike Smith should have waited until the clock ran to 3 seconds before calling HIS time out)
Stick w/your choices, cherry. You chose well.
That's how I felt when I was 10 and I saw the refs steal the '84 OU-Texas game from the Sooners with several horrible calls; the 'Horns managed a tie with a last second field goal.
LOLOL! A few ATL-area pings.
I know...right. Watching Ryan play qb is like watching paint dry....
Matt Ryan's Game-Winning Drives
Here is a list of the game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime since Ryan joined the Falcons in 2008.
Date Opponent Score
10/05/08 Green Bay 27-24
10/12/08 Chicago 22-20
12/14/08 Tampa Bay* 13-10
12/28/08 St. Louis 31-27
10/18/09 Chicago 21-14
12/20/09 NY Jets 10-7
01/03/10 Tampa Bay 20-10
09/26/10 New Orleans* 27-24
10/03/10 San Francisco 16-14
10/24/10 Cincinnati 39-32
11/11/10 Baltimore 26-21
11/28/10 Green Bay 20-17
12/05/10 Tampa Bay 28-24
09/18/11 Philadelphia 35-31
10/16/11 Carolina 31-17
12/11/11 Carolina 31-23
9/30/12 Carolina 30-28
10/7/12 Washington 24-17
10/14/12 Oakland 23-20
11/18/12 Arizona 23-19
11/25/12 Tampa Bay 24-23
1/13/13 Seattle^ 30-28
It was real boring watching Ryan outduel Both Mannings...Brees...Romo..RG3...Vick...Stafford...Cam..and Rivers this season.
Boring as people use to say Joe Montana was.
Ha! Nicely done.
Have you seen the QB Facebook conversations that someone has been ginning up this year? A little long, but pretty funny.
I'm sure they'll be putting up a new on after this weekend. Language warning.
It's what I do. :^)
The same people that say Ryan and Bama are boring...are just like the same folks who say a 2-1 pitchers duel in baseball is boring.
I hope Wilson gets Rookie of the Year. He deserves it. He didn't come into the league as the next great franchise player. Luck and RG3 did. Wilson won the starting job the old fashioned way, on the field. He set all kinds of records this year for a rookie.
Remember that Seattle brought in Matt Flynn thinking he would be the starter.
Just tell her that things could be worse, she could be a Lions fan, like me.
Keep in mind that Matt Ryan was only a missed field goal away from pulling another "Matt Ryan" (great regular season, lose first round of the playoffs). We'll see how he does against a team that stomped on Aaron Rodgers and the Pack, a team that HAS won the Super Bowl.
Their last one was in 1994, when most of their current players were still in elementary school.
Watching the game officials weaving a protective cocoon around Tom Brady?
I was talking about the Packers.
Yeah, he must pay them off. No way he won those 17 playoff games on his own.
I didn't say he was Montana...just that many called him boring too. Last time the miners came here for the playoffs...they lost.
I feared the Seahawks more than the niners ...Russell. is a much better qb...the hawks have a better secondary. Could be wrong...but.
Thanks for the vid- that's the first time I've laughed in two days.
It's always interesting that there just happens to be video camera set up and running in these situations.
Falcons? For 59 minutes I thought I was watching the Panthers.
He's got the skills, and is the real deal unlike a lot of these running QBs that the media loves to puppet. The Falcons just seem to run out of gas in the playoffs. Maybe 4 times the charm.
The falcons ran into two sb champs and an nfc champ that just fell short in the sb the last three seasons.
That tends to happen in the playoffs. The eventual Super Bowl and conference champs beat everybody else.
2. I wish I saw this much emotion about stuff that matters.
He called it before the kick. It is a chicken $hit tactic that nearly ever team uses. I'm glad if finally bit someone in the ass.

Airplanes come apart in midair for a variety of reasons. An errant pilot loses control or flies a model past its design limit, or unrepaired cracks and corrosion cause structure to fail. Fortunately, rigorous pilot training and aircraft maintenance standards make such events few and far between. Even rarer is the case when a design flaw brings down a relatively new airplane.

[Editor's note: On September 19, 2008, DayJet Services, LLC, discontinued its jet services and canceled all future flights, the result, the company said, of its "inability to arrange critical financing in the midst of the current global financial crisis." DayJet also said it was unable to honor customer reservations or issue refunds.]

When it comes to that little cabin behind the cabin, better known as the aircraft lavatory, the average passenger cares far more about whether it works than how it works.

Taking care of an airplane is a big job, which is why many owners turn it over to management companies. As part of the arrangement, these companies often charter out the aircraft. Most of their charter customers are legitimate business travelers, but the government is now warning business jet charter operators about a different type of clientele-drug smugglers.

Legendary golfer Ben Hogan once said that the secret to the game is "in the dirt." By that he meant the nitty gritty of digging into the details. This column usually focuses on the "dirt"-the details of fractional investments.

The challenge faced by Eclipse Aviation reminds me of the old joke: "How can you wind up with a million dollars by investing in aviation? Start with two million."
August 1, 2008
During an encounter with wind shear at Chicago Midway Airport on June 5, the pilot of an Eclipse 500 pushed the thrust levers (throttles) forward with enough force to cause a software error that locked both engines at full power. Unable to slow the airplane for landing, the pilot elected to shut down one engine for the subsequent landing attempt.
August 1, 2008
Last summer, Eclipse shocked aviation watchers by displaying a single-engine variant of its Model 500 twinjet VLJ. The Eclipse "concept jet," or ECJ, featured seating for four (including the pilot) and borrowed key elements from the 500, including the nose, wing, avionics and engine.

For travellers staying on the island of COZUMEL (not Cozumel cruise passengers), you can typically save yourself money by reserving tours on the mainland and then making your own way via ferry over to the meeting point on the mainland. If you reserve a similar tour originating in COZUMEL, you'll no doubt be paying not only the ferry cost but the cost of a guide to accompany you as part of the tour cost. Why pay that extra when riding the ferry is easy?!

Dear Sherri,
Our family met you just a week ago when we arrived in Cozumel, a little overwhelmed and in need of a hotel. You gave us great suggestions and we had a lovely week at Hotel Cozumel. I wanted to write and thank you for all your time and consideration. We also followed your beach suggestions and had wonderful snorkeling. Thank you, Sherri, for taking the time with us. And thank you for your wonderful website. We wish you the very best in the New Year and always.
Foley Family ~ Minnesota
Thanks for a great website and facebook page. I can hardly wait to get back to my favorite island!
Joey & Amy ~ USA
We cannot begin to express our thanks to Sherri and the staff at IslaMar Villas for our wonderful 11-night stay. This was our third time staying at IslaMar Villas and for us it's the only place to stay in Cozumel. It has truly become our home away from home. We love the apartments, the courtyard and pool, and the warm and friendly neighborhood.
We also used "COZUMELINSIDER" to book our car rental with Avis. It went very smoothly and you guys also helped us trade in our little Chevy Pop for something a little bigger.
A big THANK YOU to Sherri for introducing us to a wonderful private driver on the mainland and for arranging our excursion to Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Akumal. We were so happy that we decided to finally venture off the island and go to the mainland to see the ruins. The driver Sherri arranged for us was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we saw things we wouldn't have even known about had we taken the car ferry and driven on our own. To anyone looking for a private tour of places on the mainland, we highly recommend asking Sherri to arrange it for you. It was well worth it!
Thank you again, Sherri! Your kindness and warm hospitality makes us choose IslaMar Villas and your services over and over again.
R & M Browning ~ Superior, CO
Hi Sherri,
Fantastic time on Thursday night with the Sea Turtle Release with FP&M. We were very lucky. We dug up a nest but unfortunately the eggs were not quite ready, but the next nest had a few stragglers that needed to be released so my daughter had a chance to send one turtle off to sea. We also watched a huge green turtle make a hole, lay her eggs, cover her eggs and crawl back to see. It was a fantastic experience under the full moon with the cool breeze blowing off the ocean. We will never forget it.
Thanks again,
S. Bullard (2016) ~ Ontario Canada

Analysts are predicting that NOW Inc. (NYSE:DNOW) is going to report an earnings of $-0.36 per share. The actual earnings for NOW Inc. will be released on or around 2017-02-15 according to Zacks . How will investors react to the analyst's prediction? What will investors look at leading up to the actual earnings release? And how can investors do some prep work before making an important financial investment?
Before we delve into the numbers, let's look at the surprise factor. Investors want to know right off the bat about the surprise factor. This helps them determine if an analyst is being overly optimistic or not. Recently NOW Inc. recorded a surprise factor of 12.82% and an Earnings Per Share of $0.05.
It's all about the ABR
An investor wants to determine the consensus on a stock, and they can do that by looking at the average of a collection of analyst's predictions on a particular stock's equity. This average is known as the ABR (The Average Brokerage Recommendation). The average is based on a ranking system scored between 1 to 5, with 1 being a strong buy recommendation and 5 being a strong sell. Presently, NOW Inc. (NYSE:DNOW) has shares with an ABR of 3. The ABR is based on of 5. Investors need to be wary about this number because analysts can be overly optimistic on their ratings, especially if there is a conflict of interest at play.
Conflict of interest in the investment community? Happens all the time. Investors know this, so they have to be careful when a prediction seems a bit more positive than recent quarters. Of course, most analysts want to give the best forecasts possible based on reliable sources, but sometimes those predictions can be swayed if they have an existing relationship with that particular company. For example, if the analyst's employer's number one customer happens to be the company they're analyzing, that can raise some red flags – mainly because the analyst doesn't want to screw up that relationship. They might fluff their prediction to be better than it actually is. And this can move the market, so shouldn't be taken lightly.
Another bit of information investors look at is the standard deviation. According to Zacks, the standard deviation for NOW Inc. (NYSE:DNOW) was $1.483. Analysts predict a price target range from $18 to $22 with a consensus target from the 5 analysts providing projections. The mean target is presently stands at $19.8. The mean target was last posted on 2016-12-07.
Let it rip!
Investors might have a lot of money at stake in a company – so they want to be informed on how that company is doing. Investors and analysts alike will look towards a company's fundamentals, i.e. the cash flow and balance sheet to look for trends. But the one thing an investor cannot do is…nothing! An investor has to make a decision – whether to buy or to sell. If an investor gets caught up on the decision than doing nothing can sometimes be more harmful than making the wrong decision. We've all gotta roll the dice sometimes, but we first have to let the dice leave the hand.
Decisions, decisions…
Investors have a unique relationship with analysts. They rely on the information to make informed financial decisions. Analysts also rely on investors to hire them to help make those decisions. All financial decisions ultimately are up to the investor themselves. Looking at things like the surprise factor, ABR and mean target can be helpful at making those decisions.
Invest wisely. This post is intended to be used for informational purposes only . Investors should not use this article as a recommendation to buy or sell NOW Inc. (NYSE:DNOW) stock.

- 1/4 yard striped fabric and 1/2 yard white fabric
- 3 different 1/4 yards of striped fabrics
- 2 1/4 yards white fabric
- 1/4 yard border fabric
- 3/8 yard binding
- 1 3/4 yard backing
Using the four creases as your guide, line up your pinwheel lines with the creases. You should have 5 wedges per quadrant. Turn your raw edges under a 1/4″ and carefully press and pin in place. You can then hand applique the wheel block to the backing fabric. I just used my machine to sew the edges down.
Now is your turn to come up with a project using the EZ Dresden ruler and if you do so, you could enter to win some amazing prizes. September 1-6th you can go to the SLMQG site and enter your projects. All the details are found on the Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild site.

I want you to look at guys like Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, and Josh Freeman as recent examples of QB's who took over dogshit teams and were able to transform them into playoff teams within 2 years of less.
I will be praising all that's holy if we land Football LeBron.
LeBron won a crapload of championships while in c-town correct? Look at all those awesome players he had while here. Ryan has a RB who had 1600 yards Ryan's rookie season and 1300+ last year. His main receiver over 1300+ yards on '08 and '10. Stafford has Calvin Johnson and Freem's QB rating for his first 10 games was under 60......
Yeah, um, that's this whole other sport. They use a big orange ball. It's round.
Which is what my LeBron comment was directed to.......
Again.....one guy ain't gonna cut it. Ask Cam Newton, who is making the NFL look like Madden 2011, and his 1-5 (looks to be 2-5 now...yipee)Panther team.

While virtualization changes the way organizations use servers, provision applications and configure networks, it doesn't change bedrock security principles. In fact, virtualization makes those principles more necessary than ever. This report outlines four steps, or processes, that organizations can take to manage the risks inherent in a virtualization environment.
The first step is to address the various layers of the virtualization infrastructure, starting with the hypervisor and guest OSes and working all the way out to the network, the virtualization management system and storage. Storage is a key layer because it stores full copies of VMs, but may often be overlooked by IT. (S3601011)

Process Before Tools
Shifting spending from IT operations to innovation is a key goal for every CIO we know. One way to accomplish that is with a highly virtualized data center, where any processes that can be automated are, and where on-premises IT offerings are augmented with public cloud services where it makes sense. We launched our InformationWeek 2011 IT Process Automation Survey to look at the state of automation and see what lessons can be learned from business technology professionals using these tools.
While many in our poll find real benefits in automation, make sure you're being realistic. Cost reductions can be elusive, but respondents validate our belief that automated IT processes lead to improved quality and efficiency, while freeing time to spend on higher-value projects. We also found that private clouds are driving a new renaissance, as highly scalable and virtualized data centers just can't happen without automation. Public cloud environments, in contrast, add complexity to process automation, as workloads are set up in silos, but they also provide potential solutions in the form of cloud-broker technology.
The success of any IT process automation project will largely depend on your systems. The more standardization, the easier automation will be. If you have a complex environment, with homegrown applications and complicated workflows, automation will be equally complex and costly. Still, it's worth doing, and we'll explain how. (R3381011)
Survey Name: InformationWeek 2011 IT Process Automation Survey
Survey Date: August 2011
Region: North America
Number of Respondents: 345
Purpose: To examine the challenges and progress around IT process automation

Creative, pioneering, innovative and rich in cultural diversity; when the key ingredients are mixed together, it seems entirely appropriate that we have established ourselves in this world-famous city of culture, science and innovation.
Relaxation and quiet contemplation are the priorities of most in this beautiful city. As one of Europe's most environmentally conscious urban centres, Cambridge has fully embraced the bicycle as its favoured method of transportation, and what better way to relax on a sunny day than a gentle punt along the River Cam?
Cambridge also caters for those who need the buzz, bright-lights and more glamorous lifestyle. The bustling heart of the city is packed with flagship designer stores, cafés, pubs, bars and restaurants of every type. There really is something for everyone here. If that's still not enough, then don't forget Cambridge is conveniently located just 50 miles north of London, with excellent road and rail links making the capital easily accessible all year round.
Due to close business links with the University of Cambridge, the area around the city has developed into one of Europe's leading centres of science and technology - appropriately dubbed the "Silicon Fen" - and encompasses thousands of innovative, modern companies specialising in fields ranging from software engineering to scientific research.
Surrounding the city itself in every direction is the beautiful British countryside, and with its charm, unique history and rural splendour, it has so much to offer those who seek to explore and be inspired. There are so many things to see and do, from Ely Cathedral to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. This truly is a wonderful place to live and work.

Communication + Collaboration = Productivity
Advanced conference calling and enterprise social networking technologies together form a virtuous cycle. Advanced conference calling facilitates real-time collaboration, while enterprise social networking enables as-needed collaboration through a chronological record of total enterprise activity. As employees become better informed about their colleagues' activities through the use of enterprise social networks, they are able to enter into more meaningful real-time conversations during video calls and conferences. Conversely, based on the relationship building and information sharing enabled by advanced conference calls, employees will be able to achieve better business results through communications over enterprise social networks.
What's yet to come is a strong bridge between these two areas of technology, an environment that seamlessly switches between synchronous voice and video calling on the one hand and asynchronous commenting and video uploads on the other. At present, the advanced conference calling providers draw upon a silo of presentation materials generally separate from the enterprise social networks. Similarly, conversations on enterprise social networks are only awkwardly connected to real-time conversations occurring through conference bridges and video links. These technologies will inevitably merge over the coming years, or perhaps in the next few quarters.
In the meantime, this edition of the Quarterly Review of Business Apps examines some of the leading, representative and interesting technologies in both advanced conference calling and enterprise social networking. (S6470213)
