5 LISBOA LISBON A CITY FOR WALKING 05 Lisbon is known as the white city, thanks to its unique light. The clear light and the kind climate allow for marvellous walks all over the city. The city has a beauty that extends beyond its famed monuments that can be experienced in the streets, embraced by all the senses.
6 The historical neighbourhoods of central Lisbon are perfect for visitors to the Portuguese capital to experience for themselves. Their culture, the history, the architecture and the people are fundamental aspects of Lisbon s identity, and those who explore them will discover their own personal map. There are so many possibilities, don't let them get away. From Bairro Alto, stroll down to the Chiado, the sophisticated hub for the city s young people, artists and intellectuals The Chiado is an area of iconic cafés including A Brasileira, art schools, theatres and of living history. The intrinsic beauty of the Chiado, and it s people going about their daily lives -, makes the area what it is. The Bairro Alto is one of the most characterful and attractive neighbourhoods in the city. The Bairro Alto boasts boutiques and bars and is a place where people meet in an eclectic and multicultural atmosphere. To discover its streets, lanes and alleys, it is essential to explore it. Traditional restaurants nestle alongside cosy bookshops; tea rooms serving signature cakes vie for attention with funky design shops and the boutiques of the most respected Portuguese fashion designers. Bairro Alto is a unique experience within Lisbon packed with secrets ripe for discovery. 06 PASSION FOR THE STREETS
7 07 TThe Carmo area, next to the Chiado, has some of the most fascinating historical sites in the city, such as the Convent and Church of Carmo, which maintain their elegance and grandeur. Don t miss the Museu Arqueológico do Carmo, which houses a collection of artefacts from per-historic, Roman, Medieval, Manueline, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Largo do Carmo was the site of important events in the 1974 Revolution. Carmo is connected to the Baixa by the Elevador de Santa Justa, another of Lisbon s icons. The Elevador, designed by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel, is open to the public and boasts impressive views over the Baixa Pombalina and the rest of Lisbon. The Baixa is the city's traditional shopping district where visitors can stroll around the streets and find dozens of shops offering a wide range of temptations. Rua Augusta is the main artery of the Baixa Pombalina leading north from Terreiro do Paço (known as Black Horse Square by the English), to the beautiful Praça do Rossio (Praça Dom Pedro V). Just north of Rossio, discover Avenida da Liberdade, which in the 19th century, was the favourite promenade for the Lisbon élite. Today, the Avenida is home to exclusive international boutiques to tempt and inspire.
8 08 BY TRAM OR ON FOOT? The tram is one of the most famous and typical forms of transport in Lisbon. To travel by tram is to enter an imaginary but also traditional present. From the Baixa to the top of the hill in Alfama, you will find typical Lisbon streets and alleys and be able to discover the unique and extraordinary views of the city and river either take a traditional tram or explore Alfama on foot. As soon as the streets start to rise, look out for the most popular of Portuguese saints, Santo António (St Anthony), in a small restored statue on the front of the church dedicated to him. St Anthony is the inspiration for a number of famous Lisbon love poems. Just a few steps further, and discover the 13th century Sé Cathedral, an imposing monument which draws in the curious visitor.
9 Continuing up the hill, further discoveries keep us attentive and eager to see more. After passing the viewpoints of Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol, we arrive at the Castelo de São Jorge, where the history of the city began. This is one of the most visited monuments in the city, not only for its historical and cultural importance, but also for its magnificent views over Lisbon. We find pairs of sweethearts, children and young people, the elderly in conversation, families and tourists, in a friendly atmosphere that has been passed down from century to century. On the Costa do Castelo, head to the unique Chapitô viewpoint. Here a circus school, bar, café, terrace and restaurant, combine to create an exceptional, diversified, beautiful and spacious location. 09
10 10 FULL OF HISTORY Although it was at the castle that everything began, historical sites can be found across the city. As the capital of the Portuguese Empire, Lisbon boasts a thousand years of history, and is peppered with monuments of great importance, reflecting the key moments in the country s history. The peak of Lisbon's wealth was during the Age of Discovery a time which has left a heritage of rare beauty. Close to the castle, in Graça, is the church and monastery of São Vicente de Fora, one of the most imposing and notable religious monuments in the city. It was built immediately after the city was recaptured from the Moors following a vow made by King Afonso Henriques to São Vicente during the siege of the Lisbon in 1143., On Tuesdays and Saturdays, don t miss one of the most popular and busy markets in the city, the Feira da Ladra, or flea market, just a short stroll from the imposing church. Every imaginable object and curio as well as genuine antiques are on sale, and a visit to the flea market is a real walk through Lisbon culture.
11 Strolling down to Santa Apolónia to explore the riverside neighbourhood, it is impossible to miss the unique 16th century Casa dos Bicos, so named after the diamondshaped stones that cover its façade. Note the Italian influences in the architecture combined with elements of the Portuguese Manueline style. The building belonged to Afonso de Albuquerque, Viceroy of India, and is the site of a number of Roman archaeological finds. 11
12 Next along the riverside is the neighbourhood with the largest number of heritage sites connected with the Portuguese voyages of discovery: Belém. It was from the beach in Belém that Vasco da Gama set sail to discover the sea route to India and the grandiosity of the former empire can be sensed throughout the area. One of the most imposing symbols of the city is here - the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the construction of which was started in 1501 by King Manuel I and finished a century later. Overlooking the magnificent Praça do Império, the monument is an outstanding example of late Gothic and Renaissance architecture and is regarded as one of Lisbon s finest landmarks. 12 Royal, religious, naturalist and nautical decorative elements combine to create a building that is considered the jewel of the distinctively Portuguese Manueline style, and it has been recognised as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO. In one of the wings of the former monastery is the Museu da Marinha, - an excellent place to discover the naval history of Portugal - and the Museu de Arqueologia. The monastery church, the Igreja de Santa Maria de Belém, is a magnificent church with a nave flanked by two aisles separated by elegant pillars supporting a unique ogival dome. The sunlight filtered by the stained glass windows creates an almost dreamlike atmosphere complimenting the beauty and grandiosity of the building which embodies the history, the faith and the knowledge and determination that drove Portuguese culture. The tombs of Vasco da Gama and the epic poet Luís de Camões can be found in the church.
13 Also in Belém, on the river bank, is another marvellous Manueline monument, again classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site -, the Torre de Belém. Designed in the 16th century by Francisco Arruda, the Torre de Belém is a square tower with a polygonal bastion facing the river Tagus. The exterior facades, balconies and verandas are covered with abundant decoration, with Arab and Venetian influences which contrasts with the austerely decorated interior. The organic elements of the Manueline style such as plants and animals - are represented in many different forms and the Torre de Belém has the first sculptural portrayal of an African animal, in this case a rhinoceros. THE CALL OF THE SEA 13 Much more recent, but still invoking the grandeur of the Age of Discovery, is the Padrão dos Descobrimentos in Belém. The monument, dating from 1960, commemorates the five hundredth anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator and pays tribute to the instigator of the Voyages of Discovery and to the most important Portuguese sailors. Belém is the symbol of the golden age of the Voyages of Discovery, however the modern age is very much in evidence at the CCB Centro Cultural de Belém. Not to be missed are walks in the extensive gardens to admire the river views, and a delicious "pastel de nata" with friends
14 14
15 EXTRAORDINARY ORIGINALITY 15 The Pastel de Belém is a true culinary treasure. These delicious tarts are considered the most authentic and tastiest forms of the "pastel de nata" in Portugal. Founded in 1837, the home of these delicious cakes attracts many hungry visitors, not surprising since the secret recipe for these Belém tarts produces an unforgettable delicacy. The food of Lisbon is original and very tasty. Steaks (bifes) are among the most popular dishes, Bife à Café being the most typical in Lisbon. Menus feature at least one salt cod dish and some restaurants specialise exclusively in recipes for this highly regarded fish. Walk through the streets in the autumn or winter to find the famous roast chestnuts - sold in the streets, they are an integral part of daily life in the city. This traditional form of urban decoration has a genuine aesthetic value and is a clear expression of the national culture in Lisbon the pavements are regarded as works of art! When talking of all things cultural in Lisbon, Fado is never fat away. This form of vocal music is unique to Lisbon and there are numerous Fado houses, mainly in Alfama or Bairro Alto. Ranging from the most formal, where the emotional force of the music generates an almost tangible appreciation among the audience, to the most informal, where everybody sings spontaneously. Fado combines joy and sadness, reflecting life in all its force and passion. Tasty and crunchy, chestnuts are essential for any walk through the streets of Lisbon, so be sure to pick up a bag. Don t forget to look down though, or risk missing one of the most original elements of the city: the "calçada portuguesa", the traditional black and white stone mosaic pavements.
16 The Parque das Nações the riverside venue for Expo98 - is ideal for all ages. Located in the eastern part of Lisbon, this extensive cultural, entertainment, residential and corporate complex is a focus of the city's cultural life. The gardens along the river, frame the facilities at the Parque, including the Pavilhão Atlântico, venue for concerts and major international sports events and the new Casino de Lisboa. The Oceanário de Lisboa is not to be missed, amazing young and old alike with the diversity of its collections. The Pavilhão do Conhecimento and Torre Vasco da Gama are other attractions in this unique park. Take a ride on the cable car offering breathtaking views of the river and the city along its one kilometre circuit. 16
17 TOWARDS THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD The Lisbon Docas west of the city centre -, particularly Alcântara, are a favourite meeting place for the people of Lisbon. Families, friends and people of all ages enjoy the river views and the wide variety of places to walk and spend time with friends. Café terraces, bars and restaurants bustle with the hubbub of people enjoying themselves. More than just entertainment, in this modern age Lisbon now offers excellent conditions and facilities for professional actions and events, such as conferences. The FIL, in the Parque das Nações, and also the remodelled and modernised Centro de Congressos de Lisboa or the unique Centro Cultural de Belém are examples of some of the facilities available for professional activities. Indeed, Lisbon has found the impossible formula for combining work and entertainment in a single journey. 17
18 Lisbon is an extremely lively city. There is always something happening, 365 days a year. Cultural events, "festas", fairs and festivals are all a constant in the Portuguese capital. But it is at night that the main doors of entertainment open, with whole neighbourhoods dedicated to fun, partying and good company. Join in and help maintain the tradition of night life entertainment into the early morning. 18 ALWAYS LIVELY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE The Bairro Alto or the Bairro as locals call it - has a unique tradition in the history of Lisbon night life. Always changing, it has become one of the parts of the city with most bars. The narrow cobbled streets fill with people every night, especially to Fridays and Saturdays as everybody is taking the best possible advantage of the weekend. The number of venues and the highly diversified clientele make the Bairro Alto a mixed and friendly place to be: everybody is welcome from young people in search of lively cocktail bars, to older customers who seek out quiet bars with good music. The great vibe of the Bairro spreads to neighbourhoods nearby including Bica and Príncipe Real.
19 19 ON THE RIVERSIDE, ALL NIGHT The riverside areas offer lively nightlife and the most well known bars, dance venues and clubs are on Av. 24 de Julho, and in the Santos area. In the Docas, in Alcântara and Santo Amaro, also you will find plenty of entertainment, right next to the river. Besides dancing and enjoying the unique atmosphere, you can also listen to concerts or to the best international DJs. In this riverside area, you will also find excellent restaurants. These areas, which are also lively during the day, offer the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable evening. In the area of Santa Apolónia, you will find one of the most fashionable clubs in Lisbon.

27 PINHAL DE LEIRIA S.PEDRO DE MOEL NAZARÉ MARINHA GRANDE BATALHA LEIRIA FÁTIMA GRUTAS PARQUE NATURAL SERRA DE AIRE E CANDEEIROS LISBOA LEIRIA FÁTIMA PORTUGUESE FAITH 27 The Region of Leiria/Fátima boasts a wealth of natural attractions, including its incomparable coast. Majestic monuments and places of religious pilgrimage, offering spiritual comfort, fascinate and inspire. The Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros, occupying an area of approximately hectares, and the Serra de Sicó, are incredible natural spaces. The tranquillity of the majestic hills together with excellent conditions for various open air sports make them ideal destinations for those who like to contemplate and enjoy contact with nature. The Pinhal de Leiria, which occupies an area of around 12000, is of both ecological and historical interest. Timbers from this forest were used to build the great ships of the Portuguese explorers and now, among the tranquil green trees, visitors can take advantage of the longest cycle path in Europe, stretching 65 km from Nazare to the golden beach of Osso da Baleia.
28 28 LEIRIA FÁTIMA PORTUGUESE FAITH The spa of Monte Real the former royal town of King Dinis, is another favourite destination in this area and its waters have been used for therapeutic purposes since the time of the Roman occupation. In the heart of the Pinhal de Leiria, close to the beaches of Pedrógão, Vieira, and São Pedro de Moel and within easy reach of Leiria, Marinha Grande, Fátima and the Monasteries of Batalha and Alcobaça, the spa town is surrounded by ancient trees. Monte Real is noted for its romantic park bursting with blue hydrangeas that give the town a singular beauty. Other locations of interest are the dinosaur tracks at the Monumento Natural das Pegadas de Dinossauros and caves in the Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros. The Jurassic Path is of great scientific and educational interest and is one of the oldest in the Iberian Peninsula. The hundreds of tracks along two dozens paths are perfectly visible to visitors fascinating for young and old alike!. The caves reveal their secrets to those that venture inside - tracery calcareous formations and spectacular stalactites and stalagmites. Other obvious reasons to visit the region are the sun and the sea. The coast has many stunning beaches, from the most traditional holiday beaches such as Nazaré, Praia da Vieira and Pedrógão, to most cosmopolitan beaches such as São Pedro de Moel and São Martinho do Porto. There are also 57 km of more natural and wild beaches, such as Osso da Baleia and Gralha, all emblematic and all offering water sports in unforgettable locations. Unforgettable also is the magic craft of fire and sand created by the experienced hands of the craftsman glassblowers in Marinha Grande, who produce truly fascinating works of art.
29 29 PORTUGUESE MONUMENTS Two of the most important National Monuments can be found in the region of Leiria/Fátima, both commemorating landmarks in Portuguese history and both recognised as World Heritage sites by UNESCO: the Monastery of Batalha and the Monastery of Alcobaça. Also of great cultural significance in this region are four of the most majestic and remarkable castles: Leiria, Porto de Mós, Pombal and Ourém, each of which has a story to tell. The Monastery of Batalha, or Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, symbol of the independence of the Portuguese nation, dates from the 14th century and was built to commemorate victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota against the Castilians. It was built to honour a vow made by João I to the Our Lady, promising to build a church in the event of victory. It is undoubtedly the greatest monument of Portuguese late Gothic and is the first example of the so-called "Manueline style". The Monastery of Alcobaça, or Abadia de Santa Maria de Alcobaça, was founded in 1178 by the Cistercian order, after Afonso Henriques vowed to make a donation to the order if he could capture Santarém from the Moors. It houses the tombs of Pedro and Inês, protagonists of the most moving and beautiful love story in Portuguese history. Not to be missed either are the proud and majestic castles overlooking the towns of Leiria, Porto de Mós, Pombal and Ourém, each with its own unique character.
30 30 Visit churches such as Nossa Senhora da Nazaré, Nossa Senhora da Encarnação or Senhor Jesus dos Milagres, in Leiria, and many other convents, churches and chapels where prayers are dedicated to the Altar of the World: Fátima. Seeking spiritual comfort under the watchful eye of the Virgin Mary, millions of pilgrims visit Fátima, moved by ardent faith to visit the town of peace.
31 The history of Fátima is will always be associated with three children: Lúcia and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto. The sweet and innocent faith of these humble little pastorinhos (shepherd) allowed them to see the most holy of images: Our Lady. On 13 May 1917, at Cova da Iria, a few kilometres from Fátima, they saw a light where the Capela das Aparições is now situated. The Virgin asked them to pray for the good of the world, and announced that She would return during the following months, on every 13th day of the month. 31 THE FORCE OF FAITH The last Apparition occurred in October 1917, and around 70,000 pilgrims witnessed the Miracle of the Sun. A Basilica was built in the neo-baroque style and it is visited by more than 7 million visitors every year, making it one of the most important religious tourism destinations in the world. The Capelinha das Aparições, symbol of the Sanctuary, was the first place of worship to be built. Still in the vicinity of the Sanctuary you can see the large holm oak, the monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the centre of the Square, and the Cruz Alta at the south end of the Sanctuary area. In addition to the Sanctuary, you can visit the Centro Pastoral Paulo VI, the Casa dos Pastorinhos (House of the Pastorinhos ) and the Museu Etnográfico in Aljustrel, the monument to Our Lady in Valinhos, the Loca do Anjo, the Via Sacra, the Calvário, the Museu de Cera de Fátima (Wax Museum), the Museu de Arte Sacra e Etnologia de Fátima, the Museu Aparições 1917 and also the Museu O Presépio e Aldeia de Belém Animados. Fátima today is the Altar of the World, one of the main pilgrimage centres in the world, where millions of pilgrims find spiritual comfort.

33 LISBOA ALCOCHETE COSTA COSTA DA CAPARICA PRAIA DO MECO PARQUE NATURAL DA ARRÁBIDA TROÍA SETÚBAL AZUL BLUE LIKE THE SEA 33 The Costa Azul has a wide natural diversity of landscapes and environments, favoured by the presence of the sea, and is a wonderful region to discover. It has a wealth of natural and cultural attractions and comprehensive modern infrastructures to ensure that you thoroughly enjoy your holidays. The northern boundary of the Costa Azul is the River Tagus, and the region stretches from the south bank of Lisbon as far south as Setúbal. The Costa Azul also extends into the interior, combining unforgettable beaches, with two estuaries, mountains and pure vegetation on the quiet inland plains. The area boasts a mixture of colours that radiate a unique light that always has a special charm. The statue of the Santuário do Cristo-Rei, one of the most emblematic monuments of the 20th century, can be found in Almada. Built in 1959, it is 110 metres high and offers a unique view over the capital and the Tagus estuary. Inspired by the Cristo Redentor monument in Rio de Janeiro, the figure of Christ opens its arms to Lisbon and receives hundreds of tourists, as well as pilgrims. The Costa de Caparica, one of the most popular beach destinations in the region, can be found on what is known by the people of Lisbon as "the other side" or the "south bank". More than 13 kilometres of excellent beaches wait to receive those who love the sun and the sea. In Caparica you can also find the Convento dos Capuchos, a 16th century Franciscan monastery that has several interesting and admirable details, and is an excellent spot for a walk.
34 34 EXCEPTIONAL BEACHES Beaches can often be a decisive factor in a holiday and this region of Portugal offers a wide range of fantastic beaches. The Lagoa de Albufeira, a coastal lagoon separated from the sea by a line of dunes is both a fresh water lagoon and a lagoonal area of brackish water, depending on the tides. With its flat water and moderate wind, the Lagoa de Albufeira offers an excellent beach with perfect conditions for water sports. Meco is a well known naturist beach. Contrasting with this extensive beach is Portinho da Arrábida, offering more intimate contact with the sea. Discover the beaches in Sesimbra and enjoy some of the most exciting food in Portugal, based on the very best fish and shellfish.
35 The Costa Azul has two important estuaries with Nature Reserves to protect various species that, besides helping to protect unique ecosystems, are also fascinating spectacles to watch. Closer to the city of Lisbon, on the other side of the fantastic Vasco da Gama Bridge, is the Reserva Natural do Estuário do Tejo, a protected area of more than 45 thousand hectares, considered the largest wetland in Portugal and one of the most important in Europe. Mouchão do Lombo do Tejo and Pancas are two restricted nature reserve areas. 35 NATURE RIGHT AT HAND An important passage for migratory birds and for fish, one of the main attractions of the reserve is its colony of flamingos, which has over six thousand birds. Its agricultural habitats are highly characteristic, in particular the pastures and "lezíria" plains. Outside the reserve, you can visit the salt pans of Alcochete, and the pleasant town itself. Other interesting sites include the beautiful tidal water mills, particularly in Seixal and Montijo, and the windmills in Alcochete and Barreiro. Further south, the Sado Estuary has another Nature Reserve. This vast estuary flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The notably diverse landscape of the 25,000 hectare Reserve includes dunes with rare vegetation cover, sandbanks, vast marshes, reed beds and thickets. The main attraction of the reserve is the dozens of dolphins that live in the estuary and delight both adults and children they are unique in Portugal and very easily observed. Other endangered species in the zone include the Barbastelle bat and the otter. We recommend taking one of the mini-cruises that depart from the city of Setúbal, to admire the dolphins, the estuary and the stunning coastline of the Parque Natural da Arrábida.
36 Arrábida is a spectacular landscape, in which human activity has been carefully integrated into the beautiful backdrop of nature. The Hills, the Natural Park, the beaches and the historical buildings show how the best of nature can lead to best of Mankind, if people are able to integrate natural elements into their daily leisure life, whilst preserving and protecting them. The Parque Natural da Arrábida extends from the Morro de Palmela to Cabo Espichel, and includes three full botanical and landscape reserves: Reserva do Solitário, Reserva Integral da Mata Coberta and Reserva dos Vidais. It also has a zoological reserve on the islet Ilhéu da Pedra da Anixa, which includes the Parque Marinho da Arrábida, with fully protected species. Several beaches can also be found in the Serra da Arrábida, including Galapos and Creiro. The main beach is Portinho da Arrábida, found between the highest part of the hills and the sea. This is a large beach of white sand, and is an absolute delight for beach lovers. The small rocky islet of Pedra da Anixa can be found off the beach, and is very popular amongst divers. Whilst at the beach visit one of the restaurants to try the popular caldeirada (fish stew) or some exceptional shellfish. There are also plenty of historical sites in Arrabida. Near the small Creiro bay are some interesting Roman ruins. The Convento da Arrábida can be found in the heart of the natural park on a secluded hillside, and was originally founded by Arrabidino Franciscan friars who built cells, a church and other outbuildings in It is a fascinating collection of buildings that resembles a small village. Another important site is the 17th century Forte da Arrábida, which was built to defend the coast. Today, it houses the Museu Oceanográfico do Parque Natural da Arrábida. In Arrábida, walking is always the best choice. There is no other place like it. 36 ONE STEP FROM PARADISE

Whilst Bordeaux suffered from poor weather, Piedmont and Tuscany produced an abundant crop of long-lived 1965 wines that still make good drinking today.
1965 Bordeaux Wines are generally considered to have produced a poor vintage due to wet weather. It is unlikely that anything other than the first growths will have sttod the test of time.
1965 Vintage Ports were shaped by a hot dry summer, with a little welcome sporadic rain. In general they are rich and powerful port-wines with burnt coffee bean tawny characteristics typical of a hot vintage. The vintage was not declared by the major port houses who were looking ahead to the glorious 66 vintage. There are very few single quintas port around, however there are some outstanding colheita port available.
The Nebbiolo has a lovely earthy bouquet. The nose has cherries, dark cherries, tar and slight dried rose notes. Complex and layered. Nice acidity. Medium tannins still present.

Venus legacy vs Venus freeze for stomach?
Doctor Answers 3
Venus tightening
Both devices are essentially the same technology and accomplish the same goal; skin tightening on areas such as the abdomen, arms, neck and thighs. The difference is that the Legacy is newer and achieves higher energy delivery which allows it to produce more results per treatment or possibly the same result in fewer treatments. Both work well. You will have to decide on the value / cost per treatment, but as always, you should trust your physician and make sure you see a physician who is a board certified dermatologist or cosmetic / plastic surgeon.
Venus Legacy (Sculpt FX)
Venus Legacy is the older protocol and Venus Legacy is newer and provides better results. Venus Legacy (Sculpt FX) tightens and contours the abdominal area for a more defined stomach. The treatments deliver Multipolar Radio Frequency and Magnetic Pulse Therapy to the skin to create a dense and uniform heat matrix. Subsequently these treatments lead to tighter skin. Generally a series of 8-10 treatments are required.
Learn more: http://www.drfechner.com/venus-freeze.htm
Venus Freeze Versus Venus Legacy
Venus Freeze was the original device, yes. It uses cross-magnetic pulses and radio frequency. Venus Legacy was created after with the same philosophy, with added suction. Adding suction allows deeper fat and cellulite to be treated much more effectively. For best results, Venus Legacy or Freeze should be combined with other treatments like Exilis Ultra and Cellutone/Zwave. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

The staff at the hotel were excellent, however my first room was disappointing. The King size bed had a broken leg, and when I went to see if I could fix it, I noticed many candy wrappers and other trash under the bed. Overall the room was not very clean. The second room was clean and comfortable however, and the staff was very professional and responsive. I may give this hotel another shot, after they upgrade to flat panel TV's. They really need to upgrade the TV's badly. I do not know of any other 2.5 star hotels that don't have flat panel TV's. Very disappointing!

Hi Nick, thanks for answering some questions for us, we're excited to get the chance to speak to you! Let's start with your first porn scene ever; which studio was it and what was the deal?
My first ever scene was for Lucas Entertainment. I flew to Berlin and did a 7 man orgy!
So how long have you been making porn for now and what's been the highlight so far?
I started in June last year, so not long, 10 months maybe. I love Spain and I'm often in Madrid filming for MEN.com - that's a highlight - and my nomination for Best British Stud at the Prowler Porn Awards, this year!
I like Spanish, hairy men so the difference is usually you are shooting with guys who are hot but not really your type so the sex is work
So yes, you're at the Prowler Porn Awards this week. What can you tell us about that?
Well I'm nominated, which is great as I'm pretty new to the business. So I'm just pleased that I've been nominated. It's going to be a fun night.
Who is your personal favourite pornstar of all time and why did you choose them (don't choose Bruno, it's too obvious!)?
Of course, Bruno lol. I like Colton Ford. He was always the hottest for me when I first started watching porn.
You're in a relationship with the wonderful Bruno Fox. How did you guys meet and how did it develop into a relationship?
We met through a friend, Jay Roberts, and we started dating - the rest is history, so they say. We just moved in together in an apartment in Soho, London.
We ask a lot of porn stars what it's like to be on set and each answer is different. What would you say it's like? Can you talk us through what goes on and how it feels to be a part of something like that?
It can differ. All studios film slightly differently and that has an affect on what it's like. I tend to shoot with the same companies and directors and the experience so far is very professional and has fun to do, but that all depnds on the studio.
Porn is a lot different to sex reality, or is it? What kind of sex do you like personally and how does this compare to the scenes and studios you choose to work with?
I like stocky men like my Bruno. I like Spanish, hairy men so the difference is usually you are shooting with guys who are hot but not really your type so the sex is work and you do what looks good for camera not what is good for you.
Can you give us your top 3 sites that you enjoy watching porn on?
MEN.com, UK Hot Jocks, Lucas Entertainment.
Have you got your eyes on any guys you'd like to work with next? Who is it and what would you like the scenario to be?
I'm a fan of Adam Russo. Scenario? Who cares! lol
Not any ol' handsome guy can do porn. There must be a certain quality to you that makes you perfect porn star material. What would you say that is?
Who knows? It's all down to whether people want to watch you or not and you never know what that answer is going to be.
Would you like to give a message for your fans?
A big thank you for following me and watching my films. I'm looking forward to a busy 2015 so hope you all enjoy my scenes!
Where can we see you next? What's the next thing you have lined up?

According to experience there are several main reasons why applications to get a Schengen visa usually are not approved with a consulate.
Reason One: There's no such thing as "the Schengen visa" for all countries. It really is crucial that you comprehend how it works. For instance, for those who own a visa it is a French Schengen visa. In case your visa was issued by the German consulate, there is a German Schengen visa. There's a rule regarding applying for your own visa in a specific consulate: you NEED TO make an application for a Schengen visa in the consulate of the nation which is definitely going to be your main destination. Rather a few applicants don't define their main destination right plus they end up with all the application turned down.
Reason Two: Confusion about its validity and visa duration. You CAN get a visa for one year, but just when you meet specific conditions and prerequisites. As for duration of stay, please refer to your visa to find out just how many days you might spend in the Schengen area. A multiple entry visa enables several stays on the land of one or several Schengen States, provided the complete amount of the visits doesn't exceed 90 days in almost any half-year from the date of first entrance. Tourist, Company and Transit visas are short stay visas which enable the bearer to stay in the Schengen countries up to 90 days in just about any half-year maximum. Your plan will be to spend more than 90 days there and if you own a property in Europe, the visa you must apply for is a long term visa.
Reason three: Processing time problem. You are mistaken, in case you think that the consulate will issue a visa for you on precisely the same day. With Schengen visas in the minute it takes minimal 3 working days to really have a visa application processed. In this facet considerably depends upon the nationality. For all those holding passports of countries that are developing the procedure may take more – between a few weeks from your day your application has been accepted.
Reason Four: Implementing in a facility that is incorrect. You need to reserve an appointment in the consulate/application centre of that state after you've defined your primary destination. But be attentive and book a scheduled appointment at the facility serving YOUR area. For instance, should you reside closer to Manchester than London, you may not apply to get a Spanish Schengen visa in London, you must file your application in Manchester. Study embassies' web sites to find out where you should lodge your application and what places they service.
Reason Five: Submitting application forms that are old or incorrect. Be sure that you complete the right and up to date visa application form. The forms are found on embassies' official web sites.

The U.S. Federal Reserve is reasonably confident that "core inflation" is under control. But maybe the Fed should take a field trip to a hospital-any hospital-and re-evaluate its conclusions. We know that rising health care costs in the United States may not be the most critical item on the agenda of Australian investors. But bear with us a moment. We think we're on to something important here.
For the last month the news from the superannuation markets has been mostly positive for share prices, and the Baby Boomer's who count on them to keep going up. $81 billion in new money invested in the market this year, with a little kicker from a one-off incentive for investment property owners, who can plow $1 million into super tax free before June.
But if the asset markets are mostly rigged to make it easier for the Boomer's to retire in comfort, there is a flaw in the plan. The flaw-if you can call it that-is life. It would be nice to think that a diversified portfolio guarantees a comfortable, healthy, sun-baked retirement. But with age comes decay, illness, and rising medical costs.
We know this in the two main ways people know anything, wissen (theoretical knowledge) and erfahrung (experience.) For example, we read yesterday that the U.S. markets were spooked by a larger-than-expected rise in core U.S. inflation. Digging into the figures from the U.S. Labour Department, we learn that, "Medical care costs rose 0.8 percent in January and are 4.3 per cent higher than a year ago. The index for medical care commodities prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies-increased 0.6 percent. The index for medical care services advanced 0.9 percent." On an annual basis, in fact, American health care costs are rising faster than any other set of prices in the economy.
Hold that thought. Now imagine that your mother was out enjoying the early years of her Baby Boomer golden age, riding a horse in Colorado. Imagine she suffered an accident and severe head injury. Imagine her in the hospital in a coma for three months. Imagine your joy as she emerged from that coma and began to remember things about her life and you. And then imagine watching a hospital accountant slowly ad up your bills and tell you in a calm, reasonable voice, that you owed the hospital US$1.7 million dollars.
This is exactly what happened to one of our friends recently. We caught up with him in Colorado and exchanged stories on the shock and awe we experienced in navigating the American health care system.
"It's like there are two sets of prices in the world," our friend Jason said. "The first set is what you and I pay for dinner here, the gas I put in my car, and the rent I pay on my house. Then there's this whole different set of prices in the world of medical care. They might as well just arbitrarily ad a few zeroes to everything. It's so unrealistic it can't even be believed. How can people possible pay for catastrophic care? Even routine care is getting absurd."
We nodded in agreement, having hours earlier looked at one of our father's hospital bills. It was a one-week stay in a specialty wound-care facility. He was sent to the facility because a staff shortage (and negligence) at another facility led to him acquiring a nasty and dangerous bed sore on his back. The cost for one week's stay in the specialty facility was US$38,000.
How to even begin making sense of these numbers? What do they mean? Who can afford to pay them? What will happen to the millions and millions of Baby Boomers who don't have adequate insurance or family support? Will they receive care? Who will pay for it?
And if you thought there was a shortage of skilled labour in the resource sector, wait until you see what's coming in the health-care sector. Who will take care of the ageing Boomers when they can't take care of themselves? Who will deliver them their morning meds, their afternoon lunch, and change their bed pans, catheters or bandages?
The problem never really stuck us in the gut until we wandered down hallway after hallway of rooms filled with hospital patients. The lucky ones had family visitors and good insurance. The unlucky ones lay quietly all day with nothing but the sound of a beeping machine to accompany them.
Before then, we'd only known it abstractly, in the head. Obviously it was all quite discouraging. One poor soul had his bed surrounded by a mesh cage, to prevent him from wandering off unattended while the hospital staff worked on other matters. We also realised that in whatever time he has left, our father would spend more time talking to his nurses than he would talking to his family. We looked at the nurses more closely after that.
But out point is not to present a Dickensian version of the demographic consequences of the Boomer retirement era. Plenty of people have done that already. It was just that a light bulb (non incandescent, of course) finally went off in our head that the cost of the whole transition is going to be staggering. So will the social implications.
On the bright side (not occupied with the potential sadness and human tragedy) an entire category of firms will have a booming business. You can already see this in the figures of CSL, which yesterday upgraded its profit guidance for the rest of the year, after announcing a 46% increase in net profit for the prior six months. The company has a great portfolio of products, from blood plasma to a cervical cancer vaccine.
As you dig through the numbers, what you find is that much of the growth is entirely organic. The company did not go out and "buy earnings" through an acquisition of other firms (although it is now benefiting from previous acquisitions a few years ago.) Our point is that it's easy to understand what is driving earnings growth for CSL. Prices are rising. So are sales volumes. Both are rising faster than costs, especially because CSL has positioned itself in the high-margin end of the medical services business.
Yet there are other ways to make money in health care too, even in sectors where labour costs are rising. "Private hospital operator Healthscope (ASX: HSP) has more than doubled its first-half earnings and flagged its interest in Symbion Health if it came up for sale." We readily admit this is the first we've ever heard of Healthscope. But obviously the story fits snugly in the long-term strategy we've lately stumbled on: namely that health care is going to be a damn good business for well-managed firms in the next twenty years, much better than property, resources, or sovereign government bonds.
There will be a spectrum of investment opportunities, from the mature companies to up-start drug makers. But all of it is driven by the relentless ageing of the boomers, and their incessant desire to live longer, fuller, more medically perfect lives. For what it's worth, the biggest earnings growth will come from the newest and smallest companies. That's where we'll be looking in the coming months.
RBA Governor Stevens didn't have much else to say about the Boomer's yesterday in Perth. He did, however, have a word of caution about the leverage associated with the private equity boom. "Most fads or manias or bubbles or whatever words you want to use," he said, "start with something fundamental and at some point along the way they lose track of that…What that means is that in an event of shock to income, life gets harder quickly."
There are few more shocking events to affect your income than an illness you aren't prepared for. Then again, how many illnesses are you ever really prepared for, in the emotional sense? Of course it's the financial sense we're concerned with here.
Here's a prediction: the massive inflation in health care costs is just beginning, and not just in America. The government response to it will be increased medical subsidies, which will probably lead to higher costs anyway. In addition, governments will print money (and may even decide to spend less on foreign wars) to help fund the demographic crisis at home.
The opportunity in this crisis will be in the health-care industry. And frankly, given the huge cost of future medical care, having some investment gains from the industry will be a welcome consolation. The age wave isn't just coming. It's here. And it's brought virulent inflation with it.
And finally, an additional thought on risk. Why is it people fear losing money more than they want to make it? Perhaps greed is a luxury. But something in our makeup reminds us that the world-in addition to being beautiful and inviting-is also dangerous. Bernard Mandelbrot explains in his book, "The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets."
"For more than a century, financiers and economists have been striving to analayse risk in capital markets, to explain it, to quantify it, and ultimately, to profit from it. I believe that most of the theorists have been going down the wrong track. The odds of financial ruin in a free, global- market economy have been grossly underestimated. In this sense, the common man is wise in his prejudice that-especially after the collapse of the Internet bubble-markets are risky."

As I was organizing my tackle last week, I found a bag of custom painted Strike King crankbaits. I had them painted for the 2009 Bassmaster Elite Series postseason championship. They've been in the same place since my boat was parked in the garage after the last event.
Are these works of art really helping me catch bass?
My first experience with custom colors came in the 1980s. I was at Truman Reservoir practicing for the first regional championship I ever qualified to fish. I went to the timber-filled Missouri lake with everything I owned. My partner was an old B.A.S.S. competitor. He had won many events on this lake. My confidence was bubbling!
I made it to his Skeeter boat well before sunrise and loaded what looked to be a yard sale worth of tackle into the passenger side of the boat. I'm sure when my partner got to the dock he thought "Greenhorn!" Then, I took a glance at the single rod that was lying on the front deck. It was a Texas rigged, 8-inch plastic worm. It was nothing out of the ordinary. The ribbontail worm was paired with a 3/8-ounce slip sinker.
The sun was still climbing in the eastern sky when boat number 14 was called. My partner hammered down on the throttle as I desperately tried to prevent three tackleboxes, 15 rods and reels and a lunch cooler from flying out of the boat.
Eventually he set us down along a deep tree line. My partner was in the bow of the boat as he made the first cast of the morning. That's when I got a good look at the color of his bait. It was a strawberry worm with gold flake. I had never seen one before. After he had landed a limit, he was kind enough to offer me a worm. I asked him about the unique color as stepped back to the livewell to check on his solid 15-pound limit. "This is the only lake I have ever caught a bass with this color," he said.
It made me think.
My next learning experience was with a roommate on the Bassmaster Tournament Trail. He was from "homemade heaven." East Tennessee has hundreds of fishermen that hand craft crankbaits. They are absolutely works of art! Many of these artists use spray paint cans to paint their works. It's truly amazing what they can do.
My roomie had thousands of these baits. They all seemed to look alike to me. We were fishing an event at Lake Seminole. He had a good day on the first day with 12 pounds. The next day he busted 20 pounds. He explained to me he had to make a change in color to catch the bigger fish. Upon investigating his "new" crankbait, it appeared to be the same color. He insisted that a change to a slightly darker olive green on the back of the bait made the difference.
It made me think.
Just last week with the rediscovery of my postseason custom baits, it made me think of the instances I thought I had the perfect lure color for a situation or body of water. As I reflected on past success, one thing began to be abundantly clear.
The custom baits had worked on specific species! I had found my answer, or so I thought. I remembered a 1/2-ounce spinnerbait that I dressed up with a cantaloupe-colored skirt with five strands of red in it. That crazy combination helped me catch the biggest bass in the first 31 years of B.A.S.S. competition history — a 13-9 giant from Richland Chambers Reservoir in Texas. The same fruity-colored bait helped me qualify for a Bassmaster Classic in 2001.
I remember painting a Strike King Series 3 hot pink and getting a nice check in freshly muddied water. Then, there was the time that I left a mixed pile of plastics in the bottom of my boat. The baits bled onto some pumpkin-colored lizards, and I won a Lake Barkley tournament flipping a "swirl" lizard into some bushes. The list goes on and on.
The answer was as clear as mud! It was all about confidence. I was confident in those weird colors. That was the secret ingredient to my success! When an angler has confidence, he can catch bass on a chartreuse hotdog.
Yesterday I was back in my garage preparing my tackle for the upcoming season. My Strike King Series 6XD box was open, and I was replenishing my supply of these deep diving baits. As I put my last Sexy Shad crankbait in its place, I realized that it wasn't too long ago that this particular hue was a special custom color in one well-known angler's box. That guy has all the confidence in the world!
It made me think.

Backed by good monsoon, India, the second largest producer of wheat in the world, is tipped to harvest a record 84.27 million tonnes of wheat in 2011, according to the agriculture ministry's third estimates
New Delhi: While other leading wheat producing countries like China and the US are witnessing a decline in output, India has stood as an exception with an estimated record production of 84.27 million tonnes of the staple foodgrain this year, reports PTI.
Except for India, all the leading wheat growing countries like China, Russia, US, Canada and Australia are witnessing a downturn.
"India is gaining internationally in the wheat production," SS Singh, project director of Directorate of Wheat Research (DWR) told PTI today. DWR is a Karnal-based institute affiliated to the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR).
Backed by good monsoon, India, the second largest producer of wheat in the world, is tipped to harvest a record 84.27 million tonnes of wheat in 2011, according to the agriculture ministry's third estimates.
But, the international scenario is not encouraging. China, the leading wheat producer in the world, is tipped to register a 2% fall at 113 million tonnes in wheat production in 2011 compared to an year ago period. Wheat output of China was 115.1 million tonnes in 2010.
Likewise, US, Russia, Canada, Australia, Argentina and Iran are reported to see a drop in wheat cultivation this year, according to available data. While US, the third largest wheat producer of the world is expected to see a 3.5% decline in production of the staple crop in 2011 as compared to last year, the same in Australia is tipped to be 2.3% down during the period, the data suggests.
Mr Singh said reports reveal that drop in wheat production internationally is mainly due to spread of yellow rust disease and harsh climate. Reports reveal that prolonged snowfall season in China damaged the staple food crop in that country, he added.
But, amid gloomy world scenario in wheat production, India stands as an exception. Wheat output in India was 80.7 million tonnes in 2009 which rose to 80.8 million tonnes in 2010. The country is set to harvest a record 84.27 million tonnes of chief rabi produce in 2011.
Mr Singh said due to timely measures initiated by the government the rust disease, which is among oldest disease known to man, had no impact in India. Besides, favourable weather is helping in bumper harvest of the crop, he added.
Owing to bumper wheat cultivation this year, suggestions are pouring from a section of the government as well traders that the country should lift ban on wheat export imposed in 2007 to cash in on this opportunity.
Indian Oil Corporation is losing Rs297 crore per day on selling diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene at government-controlled rates
State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is losing Rs297 crore per day on selling diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene at government-controlled rates, a company official said.
"We are losing Rs18.11 per litre on diesel, Rs28.33 a litre on kerosene and Rs315.86 per 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder," he said. IOC loses Rs196 crore everyday on selling diesel below its imported cost, Rs53 crore on kerosene and Rs48 crore on domestic LPG.
Diesel prices were last revised in June last year when crude oil was $71-72 per barrel. It is trading at $110 a barrel now. Domestic LPG and kerosene rates too were revised last in June 2010.
The government has not allowed oil companies to raise fuel prices in line with imported cost to keep inflation under check.
"Retail selling price of diesel in Delhi should have been Rs55.86 a litre as against Rs37.75 per litre currently," the official said.
IOC along with public sector firms Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum are projected to lose Rs1,77,562 crore in revenues on selling diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene below their imported cost in 2011-12 fiscal.
The revenue loss, termed as under-recovery by oil firms, will be the highest-ever, even more than what they lost in 2008-09 when crude oil touched an all-time high of $147 per barrel.
In addition, they lose about Rs4.50 per litre on petrol, whose rates have not moved in tandem with the imported cost despite its pricing being freed from the government control in June last year.
"Losses on petrol are not included in the under-recovery figures for 2011-12 as it is a decontrolled commodity," the official said.
The basket of crude oil India buys had averaged $83.57 per barrel in 2008-09 and calculations for the next fiscal have been done at the prevailing rates of around $110 a barrel.
"The average price of Indian basket of crude oil last fiscal was $85.09 per barrel, higher than the 2008-09 average when the government had cut customs and excise duty on crude oil and products to check the impact of rising international rates on domestic markets," the official said.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has not agreed to cut customs and excise duty on crude and product this time to protect his projected fiscal deficit.
"The situation in the current 2011-12 fiscal will be worse, the three PSU oil marketing companies are losing Rs540 crore per day on diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene sales," the official said.
On Thursday, IOC was trading 0.60% lower at Rs331.15 in the afternoon trade on the Bombay Stock Exchange.


text: National Crime Agency Admits Incompetence As It Launches Inquiry Legal Experts Condemn 'Unlawful' Gathering Of Evidence 27.11.2015 Kate Rawlings, Press Officer | 0114 274 4238 Lawyers at Irwin Mitchell have welcomed an investigation into the way the National Crime Agency (NCA) issues warrants after reports that they may have been searching properties and seizing evidence unlawfully, for almost a decade. The NCA has launched an internal inquiry into its use of warrants and production orders because of alleged failings in the way it applies for legal permission to conduct its operations. The claims follow the collapse of major trials and amid warnings that other cases could be in jeopardy as a result. Both the Crown Prosecution Service and the NCA are now said to be investigating every type of authorisation the organisation received to raid homes, seize property, and collect telephone and banking records. According to the report, made by BuzzFeed News, the NCA admitted errors in four major cases – three of which have collapsed at a cost of millions of pounds to the taxpayer. The NCA's deputy director Chris McKeogh, admitted the collapsed trials had been due to "incompetence" and added the review would be a "substantial task". A statement from the NCA said: "As well as the review, we have issued updated guidance to officers, revised the legal and awareness training for officers applying for warrants, and introduced additional rigour to the application and authorisation process, ensuring all new applications meet the required standard." Sarah Wallace, a Partner and Head of the Regulatory & Criminal Investigations team at Irwin Mitchell, said the allegations were "shocking." Expert Opinion "Given the serious invasion to privacy that a raid, search and seizures involve, the process of obtaining a search warrant must be done lawfully. If the report is accurate, it is simply unacceptable for law enforcement officers to be engaging in illegal searches that could potentially jeopardise the actual criminal investigation or court proceedings. It is also shocking that the failures to observe legal requirements are not isolated incidents. However, just because a search warrant is quashed and a search declared unlawful does not necessarily been that a criminal case is stopped, as in the case of Harry Rednapp who went on to be prosecuted but ultimately acquitted. Any person who is notified or believes they may have been the subject of an unlawful raid would be wise to seek legal advice about how the search came about."
