Individual match highlights: Leo Messi & Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Barcelona) vs Athletic Bilbao
One down, four to go.
Barcelona wrapped up their first piece of silverware of the season on Sunday night as the Catalans brushed aside Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup final. After winning the first leg 2-1 last week, Barca ran out 3-nil winners in the return leg at the Nou Camp.
Star of the show was the mercurial, pint-sized Argentine, Leo Messi. The right-sided, left-footed genius was a constant menace throughout, typified by a superb jinking run and deft finish to put Barca in the ascendancy. Messi then assumed the penalty duties with some style to cap another encouraging display.
Leo Messi's match highlights can be seen here.
Looking to challenge Messi as the main man at the champions is new star-signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic. On his performance against Bilbao though, the Swede still has some way to go to claim the crown as Barca's most dangerous player.
Overall, Zlatan showed some nice touches in areas of the pitch that failed to hurt the opposition, while lacking the cut-and-thrust in the final third that is demanded from a top class centre-forward. That said, it's still very early days.

A man clearing snow around Slemon Park, just outside of Summerside, suffered seriously injuries Monday when his hand got caught in a snowblower.
P.E.I. occupational health and safety officials are investigating the incident as a workplace accident.
"His hand was caught in a piece of machinery so whether or not the extent is the whole hand gone, I'm not sure," said director Bill Reid.
"It was caught in a snowblower. It was a piece of snow removing equipment and right now we are investigating exactly the details but it involved a tractor-run snowblower."
The man is in hospital on P.E.I.
Reid isn't sure how long the investigation will take, but he hopes it can be wrapped up quickly since there are a lot of people using snowblowing equipment this time of year. He also hopes his staff will be able to make recommendations from the investigation that will help prevent similar injuries.
In February of 2009 a worker in Charlottetown lost his hand while using a snowblower to clear the sidewalk on Confederation Street. It was believed the injury happened when the worker tried to fix a jam in the machine.

The Best Tips For Using Your IPad
Nobody can doubt the greatness of the iPad and its varied usages. However, if you want to completely utilize your iPad, then you need to know some of the latest information. Use the tips in this article, and you can use the iPad like a professional.
Stay aware of the amount of money you are paying for the iPad apps that you download. It's easy to rack up credit card bills with such engaging and entertaining applications that are just a click away. So it is critical to keep track of what you spend.
Be watchful of all the apps that are running on your iPad. A lot of iPad apps are designed to run as background processes. Double-click Home to see what's currently running. The apps you have running are going to show up near the screen's bottom. Swipe downwards to remove the bar from sight when you're finished.
Have you ever mistakenly opened a noisy app? Press volume down for a few seconds to mute quickly. If you find yourself needing to mute sound frequently, you may want to set up the orientation lock button to work as a muting control.
If WiFi join notifications annoy you, simply get rid of them. Go to your Settings and access the Wi-Fi tab. By choosing that option, you will never again be bothered by the invitations.
There is an easier way to view the video or picture you have just taken besides the film icon in the bottom corner. Swipe to your right using a finger, and there is your video or picture. After this, swipe left to see older content.
The iPad doesn't come with a paper manual so it will need to be downloaded if you want to read it. Apple wants to be as minimalistic as possible and wants you to get one off the Internet instead of shipping them with their products.
Is the battery percentage annoying or distracting you? If you want, you have the power to turn that off. To start with, go to your Settings menu. From here, click on Usage which is found under the General section. In this menu, you're able to turn off the display of battery percentage.
Create FaceTime phone contacts, as well as emails. The email that was used to set up the iPad will be used by default on FaceTime, but it is possible to add others. If you have multiple emails or numbers, each one can be recognized by FaceTime.
You can copy and paste easily. Just hold the text and choose Select. Next, tap 'copy,' switch to a different app, then tap again and hold down. Again, a menu will come up, this time tap "paste." You can also highlight a whole paragraph; tap it around four times.
The iPad has great musical functions, but what about podcasts? A podcast is similar to a radio program. There are many topics available. Sometimes, a podcast can be a great variation to radio music. You'll always find something of interest.
The iPad has a clipboard for copying and pasting, just like a full-size computer. All you have to do is tap on your text and then copy it. Tap once again, and you'll see that the text is highlighted. Choose copy after this. Simply tap, hold and select paste to apply the highlighted text.
Forums online are a great way to learn more about your iPad. Lots of websites focus on iPads and can help you learn how to use the device to its full advantage. Just say hi to get started.
You do not have to do this if you are in a different place, this is why you can do it this way. Dim your screen by clicking the Home button two times and swiping. This allows you to go in and manually change your brightness settings. Apple iPad 2 16GB 9.7″ Touchscreen Wi-Fi Dual Cameras Tablet – Black – MC769LLA
You should always use the security feature in your iPad even if it feels like you don't need it. If you were to lose your iPad, all kinds of personal information would be in the hands of others.
Technology has been forever changed with the invention of the iPad. So many apps, so much to do! This article has shown you how many functions the iPad has.

Seattle, WA (PressExposure) January 20, 2012 -- Here's good news for followers of bestselling author Timothy Ferris' unconventional approach to losing weight and gaining muscle. Kirkland Science Labs, a leading provider of cutting-edge health supplements, announced today the launch of the latest and the first and only PAGG stack specially formulated for Tim Ferriss' complete 4-Hour Body protocol which includes his recommended Slow-Carb Diet.
Called the 4HB Stack, it delivers Tim' exact recommended dose of PAGG plus his suggested doses of Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium - ions that are needed to counter the loss of water molecules and electrolytes that tend to occur when one follows the Slow-Carb Diet.
According to Brad Dennis, Marketing Director at Kirkland Science Labs, the idea of formulating the 4HB PAGG stack was spurred by the need to help dieters stick with Tim's recommended supplementation while at the same time meet the needs of those who are on the Slow-Carb Diet.
Tim Ferriss referred to the PAGG in his New York Times bestseller book The 4-Hour Body as the Four Horsemen of Fat-Loss. PAGG stands for Policosanol, Alpha-Lipoic-Acid, Green Tea flavanols and Aged Garlic Extract. It is one of the three components (the other two being exercise and diet) of Tim's popular but rather "outside of the system" strategy for achieving rapid fat-loss while gaining muscle.
The only catch is: following Tim's recommendations to the letter would mean taking several capsules and tablets a day. And taking the ions separately, whether as supplement or from whole foods, will only burden those who follow the Slow-Carb Diet further.
"This is where we see the need to include Tim's recommendation of taking potassium, magnesium, and calcium into the PAGG stack," Brad Dennis commented, "as this will make it easier, especially for those who are on Slow-Carb diet to stick to the PAGG supplement regimen and the 4-Hour Body protocol."
"In effect," Dennis added, "his will make it even easier for followers of Tim's 4-Hour Body system achieve their health and fitness goals, which is exactly what Kirkland Science Labs is all about - helping people live better."
Presently, there several PAGG stacks available in the market, but none of them contains the ions needed by those who are following the Slow-Carb diet.
As discussed by Tim Ferris in The 4-Hour Body, the Slow-Carb diet is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) that produced veins across his abdomen, which is the last place he lost fat.
The Slow-Carb Diet allows better fat loss by following simple rules that must be strictly adhered to for 6 straight days in a week, with 1 day off as cheat day. It calls for, among others, avoiding "White" carbohydrates, eating the same few meals over and over again, and not drinking calories. He also pointed out that it's possible to lose 20 pounds in 30 days without exercise by just following the Slow-Carb Diet strictly.
For maximum efficacy, the 4HB Stack comes in unique time-released tablet form that is specially engineered to release the essential ingredients just as a person's metabolism peaks, which is usually 1-2 hours after meals.
About Kirkland Science Labs
Kirkland Science Labs is committed to engineering health supplements that deliver results and help people live better and enjoy a good life. The principals of Kirkland Science Labs has over twenty combined years working with the supplements industry, and worked closely with health and nutrition experts in developing the 4HB Stack. The 4HB Stack is made in the USA in a cGMP certified facility.

June 4, 2008
The United Kingdom was one of only three countries in Europe to immediately extend free-movement rights to the former Communist countries. Now, the British economy is reaping the rewards of recent arrivals from Eastern Europe, says the Wall Street Journal.
The speed of the recent immigration influx to the United Kingdom has been truly astounding:
- About one million Poles, Czechs and other East Europeans came to the United Kingdom between 2004 and 2007 -- far exceeding predictions.
- While some of these workers have left again, this net immigration still added 500,000 people to the U.K. population over this period.
The benefits for the British economy go far beyond just plugging gaps in the labor market:
- Some 40,000 Polish entrepreneurs have set up businesses in the United Kingdom, creating thousands of jobs.
- Partly as a result of immigration, trade between the United Kingdom and Poland has increased fourfold since 2004 to some £6 billion (about U.S. $11.7 billion) a year.
- In the last two years alone, the United Kingdom has received more than 1,300 medical doctors from the new member states, improving Britain's health-care system.
- The Poles also may be teaching the Brits a lesson or two about work ethic; Poles in the United Kingdom have an employment rate that is nine percentage points higher and work four hours a week longer than the U.K.-born population.
Rather than worrying whether Britain has absorbed too many immigrants in recent years, Britain should worry about the prospect of not having enough immigrants in the coming years, says the Journal. As Europe's work force ages and shrinks, migration will have to be part of the solution, not the problem it is so often portrayed as.

Bard Build Guide by ZakBurnap

Bard Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Why I made this guide
The reason that I made this guide is to help out people who are new to the game, people who are new to playing as Bard, and to help people get better as Bard. I myself am a Mastery 5 Bard main (I would be mastery 6 but I don't have enough essence). But many different times when I chose, and locked in as Bard people would ask me "Are you good as Bard?" and this was even LONG after Bard was released, and to be honest I would ask the same question because it seemed like whenever I played with a Bard in one of my games they would do pretty bad. So this guide is basically for anyone really, it's for if you want to learn a few tips and tricks when playing as or against Bard. I really do hope this guide helps you out with playing as Bard much better and if you have any questions or want my help to teach you more about Bard, my Summoner name is BooDude15, and have a good one!
Notes on Bard
1. Caretakers Shrine takes a total of 10 seconds to get to it's full charge and grant max healing from it, but it grants a 50% boost in speed for a few seconds no matter what
2. Bard's ultimate Tempered Fate can be used pretty much across halfway of the map, it's best used at a shorter range so that you hill hopefully have a better chance of landing it
3. With Bard's Magical Journey enemies will move slower than you and your allies, and enemies will usually chase you through it if you are low on health, so use Cosmic Binding to stun them against the terrain or the possible 2nd enemy and then give yourself a Caretaker Shrine while running towards your teammates
5. Many people underestimate Bard because of how very derpy he looks, but he is surprisingly strong and kinda tanky, and because of his Magical Journey he can get in and out of fights surprisingly well
4. Bard can only have up to three meeps at a time

July 27, 2005 - Clif Extract sits alone in the wrestling room of Sunnyside High School, back to the wall, holding in place the mat that protects the school's warriors. The thermostat above his head in the empty South Tucson wrestling cathedral holds steady at a balmy 99 degrees.
One glance around this humid room, with its low ceiling, and you get the feeling that if the Ironwood Ridge High School assistant coach were to vacate his post as support beam, the countless trophies, banners and pictures of past Sunnyside champions could hold the pads in place all on its own.
Shortly after repairing the sagging wall, with the assistance of Sunnyside head coach Bobby DeBerry, the gladiators enter the arena. Each one looks meaner and more determined than the next.
For 20 of these wrestlers, three months of training culminates in this weekend, starting July 23 in Fargo, N.D., at the Asics/Vaughan Junior and Cadet National Championships.
Considered the world's largest wrestling tournament by TheMat.com, the week-long tourney will feature 4,500 wrestlers from 49 states, spread over 20 mats in the FargoDome on the campus of North Dakota State. The event will be separated into two styles: Greco-Roman July 23 through 26 and men's Freestyle July 27 through 30. The Cadet division is open to wrestlers ages 14 and 15 and the Junior National division is composed of the best wrestlers ages 16 through 18.
Representing the Northwest and Foothills in the cramped gym are seven of the area's toughest mat men including Extract's son Steve (135-pound weight class), Matt Peters (98) and Mike Short (189) from Ironwood Ridge; Chris (145) and Larry Esparza (152) of Marana High School; and Bill Morris (135) and Chad Short (215) from Catalina Foothills High School.
"This is every coach's dream; these are the responsible kids," said Marana High School head coach Rob Lindsay, here to check out two of his prized wrestlers, the Esparza twins, who will be seniors at Marana when school starts in early August.
The Northwest and Foothills kids are among 25 who have trained at Sunnyside every night since the high school state tournament concluded in February. Under the tutelage of the area's finest coaches, including DeBerry and Pat Weber of Flowing Wells, wrestling has taken these boys to places such as Idaho and Nevada to compete against the best the West has to offer.
The roster of athletes reads like a who's who of Tucson high school wrestling, with names like Jerry Ochoa, Nathan Vorel and Kyle DeBerry of Sunnyside and Aaron Briggs of Flowing Wells.
Wrestlers including Extract, Peters and Short qualified for the national tournament with their performance at the West Regional Championships in Winnemucca, Nev., June 20 through 25.
Winning on the national level in Fargo, however, comes at a price.
"Once you place or once you beat a few key names around the country during the school year or during the freestyle year," said DeBerry, "the targets and cameras start coming your way."
Saying DeBerry has been down this road before would be an understatement. This year will mark his 10th straight time heading to nationals. In a decade, DeBerry has witnessed, and has played a major role in, the development in Arizona wrestling on the national landscape.
"I remember once upon a time when it was me and three (wrestlers), me and two," said the former Canyon Del Oro High School head coach, who added that the team didn't even have uniforms back then. "To see how it is now, that speaks well for the state."
Since then, DeBerry has had eight national champs, the most recent coming last year by Rene Torres of Sunnyside, and 46 wrestlers place in the top three. Couple that with the success of his high school teams, and wrestling during the middle of summer in the humid gym starts to feel a bit cooler.
Since leaving CDO for Sunnyside after the spring of 1996, DeBerry has more than maintained the prosperity of the south Tucson school's wrestling program. In the past 26 years, Sunnyside has won 23 state titles. So many, in fact, it's easier to name the years the Blue Devils didn't win Class 4A or 5A championships - 1980, 1985 and 1995 - rather than the years they won. Every past state champion from the school - all 105 of them - is immortalized on the wall in the Sunnyside gym.
The atmosphere is ideal for training for a national tournament.
"The conditions in there are much harder than the conditions out when you're wrestling," Steve Extract said. "So, if you can go six minutes in a room where it's 100 degrees, you'll easily be able to do six minutes out on the mat."
For two-plus hours everyday, the gym is full not only of some of the best Southern Arizona wrestlers but also of its most boisterous student leaders.
"Billy Morris, from Foothills, and (Chad) Shorty," said DeBerry. "Those guys weren't sure what to expect. But now, all of a sudden they're like 'Hey, I can assume a leadership role, I know something that this person, who's really good, doesn't, and I'm going to show him and teach it.
"They teach each other, and the interaction on a cognitive level is what the kids get the most out of it."
Combine a hardcore workout with the extreme heat, and wrestlers are losing an average of three to five pounds a night through sweat alone. On a really tough night, it's not unreasonable that a kid will shed upward of eight or nine pounds.
Before practice, Peters entered the Sunnyside gym tipping the scales at 105 pounds. By the time he left the south Tucson high school and stepped into the monsoon-induced lightning storm in the parking lot two and a half hours later, he was four pounds lighter.
It's nothing lots of water and an enormous dinner can't fix, however.
"At state, when I went on, I weighed 130. I weighed 140 that night when I got back to the hotel room," said Larry Esparza, who says the most he's ever lost is around nine pounds in one night. "You can get 10 pounds in an hour, water weight alone."
All the wrestlers sweating it out at Sunnyside this summer are part of the gradual transformation of Arizona wrestling, which has lifted the sport from its blue collar roots and transplanted it to a place among such elite club sports as golf, tennis, swimming and gymnastics - sports that take some money to compete in, DeBerry said.
Unlike some Phoenix wrestling clubs that cost their athletes upward of $900 for a six or seven-month session, DeBerry said he has never taken a single dime from a kid wanting to wrestle for him.
"I just can't see doing that," the coach said about charging his club wrestlers. "The kids come find me; I don't look for them. If they want to wrestle, the door is open. Come on in."
The Grand Canyon State may be a long way away from equaling wrestling juggernauts Pennsylvania, Iowa or even Utah, but DeBerry would like to see the sport return to the University of Arizona. The UA program was abandoned in the early '80s, going extinct with other now archaic collegiate sports including men's gymnastics, archery and riflery.
With the Arizona high school state tournament perhaps not getting the attention it deserves, if kids want a chance to land a wrestling scholarship at a major university, competing in the national tournaments is a must.
All dreams of putting on a college singlet, however, first must go through the high school gyms. In Arizona, there is no better place to do so than within the hallowed walls of Sunnyside's gym.
"I have five-year-olds that say 'Hey, when I'm in high school, I'm going to do this and my picture is going to be right there," said DeBerry, pointing to the wall. "How can you tell that kid no?"
Perhaps by then the wall will be able to hold itself up.

Exhaust System
Hello everyone,
I am sure someone has posted about this before but I purchased a Flowmaster Delta Force 40 for my Jeep WK 3.7 V6. I saw a few videos online which made the truck sound pretty good.
Although I canceled the order because I am not totally confident I will like it and I didn't want it to not sound deep enough. Does anyone have any opinions on putting an exhaust on? Is it even worth it?
2 Attachment(s)
Here is what my jeep looks like
Hey m2m, where did you buy those lights? Do you have problems with them and are they hard to install. I tried to pm you but your box if full
A flowmaster on a v6?! I don't think that would sound good but that's just my opinion.
When I had my ZJ w/I6 4.0 I put on a Banks header and had a custom 2.5" exhaust built by the local Meineke shop. It sounded awesome (P.O'd my sister - gotta love it). Also had a Fastman TB and K&N CAI on the intake, so the whole package was the upgrade not just the pipes. I only spent about $350 on the exhaust itself, and i didn't have to get dirty.
If you want to upgrade your 3.7, a cat-back is PART of the picture but not the sum of it. And you don't want huge pipes either - you need a little back-pressure

Last week, I reported on a press conference held by several Democratic members of the Assembly, voicing their concerns about Dr. James Kroll, the state appointed White-Tailed Deer Trustee. And this week, WHBY's Rick Schuh got Kroll's response.
Anyway, the gist of the presser was the Dems' request for public hearings by the Senate and Assembly Natural Resources Committees. Chair of the Assembly committee, Rep. Jeff Mursau, sent me this meticulously outlined response by way of comment.
1. Curiously, unlike their press conference statement, their letter to Mursau did not ask for a hearing before Dr. Kroll's report is finalized
2. Senate Natural Resources and Environment Democrats were noticeably absent from the press conference, an emergency rule on deer hunting is not pervasive beyond Assembly Democrats
3. No recommendations from Dr. Kroll can be instituted this year, no matter how scared of their own shadows Assembly Democrats are
4. The 2012 deer hunting season is set and going to the printer for this fall's hunting manual (which accompanies licenses)
a. Printing deer hunter manuals costs Wisconsin thousands of dollars, we will not overturn these rules and waste taxpayer money
b. Changing the rules at this point would be too confusing for deer hunters, we will not willingly create hunter confusion
5. The Conservation Congress addressed this in the 2012 spring hearings on question #47, which was overwhelmingly defeated
a. Governor Walker, the DNR and I respect the opinions of the Conservation Congress
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I only regret the organizers of this press conference didn't contact me before their press event so I could alleviate their fears, if not their pre-recall shenanigans.
Thank you, Rep. Mursau. I couldn't have asked for a more thorough response. And bonus points for the use of shenanigans.
Incidentally, in the news trade, reporters often refer to press conferences often referred to as dog-and-pony shows. I resisted the urge to call this one a deer-and-pony show, which really shows remarkable forbearance on my part, don't you agree?

click HERE to read the initial plans
click HERE to see my "inspiration photos"
click HERE to read part one of the construction tale
tuesday was probably the most eventful day of construction. and not because of anything we did. the day started with finishing the rough electrical work—all the wires fished through the walls, and finally jeremy was done in the attic. yay!
it was time to sheetrock the end walls of the bunk bed unit…
and begin spackling… there was a LOT of spackling. the mister's first "real" job was as a finisher, so fortunately he has the skills to handle stuff like this:
a hot mess of a ceiling that's patched together where three walls, a closet and a superfluous sheet of sheetrock were all torn down. go baby go! make that ceiling look purdy!
there was also the original electrical panel in the closet of the pink room. we installed a new service and panel in the family room years ago, so it was time for the old one to finally be ripped out.
(he says maybe we can sell this? anyone?)
and the hole patched…
see how dark it is in this picture? because this is where things got super exciting. as he was taping and spackling his little heart out there was a big BOOM and all our power went out.
instant icy fingers clutching your heart—especially when you've just been doing some electrical work.
so in a way, we were almost relieved to look out back and see this:
that would be a HUMONGOUS tree from the woods behind our house, laying across our power lines. it was rapidly getting dark, as it does on these short winter days, and jeremy was smack in the middle of spackling an entire room.
cause nothin' says FUN like losing power when you're in the middle of construction. true story.
so we did the smartest thing we could think of: he used the force to finish what he could in the rapidly fading light. and then, well: when the going gets tough, the tough go to IKEA. amirite?
(that was for you megan)
bonus: it was kids eat free night. and we got kids. SCORE!
so after getting our swedish meatball on we scoured the store for all the important stuffs we needed for the girls' room.
things like:
knoppa—gotta love a white flat sheet for $3.99. that's a LOT of fabric for a small, small price. i think we bought 8.
virserum--lots of cheap picture frames for the walls.
kvartal—the ingenious hanging system.
and hands down our best score of the night (besides the FREE KIDS DINNER woot woot!)
alvine trad—4 twin duvet covers for $6.99 EACH.
i also picked up what is soon to become the latest fad in construction apparel.
behold: the construction slipper!
that's right, i'm like the hugh hefner of home improvement. wielding tools in the comfort of my slippered tootsies.
(plus, you know you're a true ikea addict when you're wearing IKEA. oh, wait…i've done that before)
that wasn't it though. we bought lots more. and spent a solid hour trying to solve our dresser problem. we needed to get the most bang for our buck—four girls in one room requires a TON of storage space. and the plan was to fill what was the closet of the pink room with dressers.
but, you know, without spending like $1000.
back and forth we went—maybe kitchen cabinets? too expensive. malm dressers? cheap enough, but too contemporary. birkeland dressers? sooo pretty, but way to expensive.
the solution we ended up with—well, we pretty much love it. and you're going to have to wait to find out what it is. mwahahahahahah!
so, where was i? by the end of day 4 we were in hardcore construction mode.
we were
sparkly shiny happy people doing construction with much, much more to do and no electric.
moving on to wednesday…
by the light of day jeremy could see that his ninja spackling skills left much to be desired. :(
so while i finished laying the floor he spackled and spackled some more (and if i type spackle one more time i might scream)
and then some really exciting stuff started:
the bunk beds are getting framed!
final decisions were made on heights and sizes, and by the end of the day we had this:
which seems like as good a place to stop as any, because it was also my brother and sister-in-law's third anniversary. so we wrapped it up early that night and headed off to a family dinner.
where i totally wore my sweatpants. and laughed too much and too loud, because i was wayyyy overtired.
and there we are—five days in,
sparkly shiny happy people doing construction with much, much more to do and no electric. (it finally came back on. but they left the tree in our yard. boo.)
oh, and while we were at dinner poor little ms. e got suuuper sleepy. the kind of sleepy that makes you think something is not.quite.right. and your mommy senses are tingling. and so when she woke up at 2am with a 103.5 temperature…well, i wasn't surprised.
so i guess that makes us
sparkly shiny happy people doing construction with much, much more to do and no electric and a very sick baby.

Best finish to a basketball game ever?
That is awesome
I was waiting for the announcer to end a sentence with "baby!"
El juego-por-jugada es magnÃfica!!!
Or how bout: "CEBOLLAS! ORDEN CUADRUPLE!"
Very disappointed in this thread after reading the title.
I was just about to do a thread on this. I love the uncontrollable laughter by the announcer. The basketball was okay, the call of the action makes it great.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zijh7EAAH6g&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Unicaja Malaga - Real Madrid, 19.3.2011. - ¡Final absolutamente apoteósico![/ame]
Not the greatest end to a basketball game ever. I can think of quite a few of the top of my head. It was just a couple of three pointers, none overly difficult.
It was 4 straight three pointers in the last 40 seconds and they all hit nothing but net. I don't think I've seen that before.
Agree. Never seen both teams do this. Was in Phogg Allen several years ago and witnessed K. Horton bury several 3's from that distance......I am sure I sounded like the announcer to the all the J-puke fans.....
I didn't understand a thing the announcer was saying, but loved his emotion. Fun ending to watch and neat to see the other team even smile about the outcome.

Over three days, 15 photographers turned an abstract lens on their Pilbara backyard. OBSCURA brings you Karijini National Park's 100-metre gorges, prehistoric mountains, and hidden swimming holes as you've not seen them before.
The complete OBSCURA online catalogue can be found here.
WORN LAND | Four contemporary jewellers in the Pilbara
Yuko Fujita | Nicky Hepburn | Pennie Jagiello | Natalia Milosz-Piekarska
Worn Land explores the disorientating intersection of desire and displacement that can accompany our experience of place. Yuko Fujita, Nicky Hepburn, Pennie Jagiello and Natalia Milosz-Pietarska have created works in response to their residencies in the Pilbara, and the results engage with an ungraspable and resistant landscape through explorations of materiality and scale.
Since early colonisation, Australian landscapes have frequently been conceived of as actively resistant to Western knowledge and the non-Indigenous body, a trope that persists even in contemporary explorations into remote and regional Western Australia.
Throughout their residencies in the Pilbara, Fujita, Hepburn, Jagiello, and Milosz-Piekarska ventured into some of the most isolated parts of northern Western Australia. Working both with and in response to materials found within these places, the resident jewellers are developing immersive works that explore the relationship between the body and these remote environments.

Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to declare my support for the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2009. I intend to cast this vote in honor of the efforts of Dr. Xiangzhong ``Jerry'' Yang, a pioneer in cloning and stem cell research, who died of cancer three weeks ago at the age of 49. Dr. Yang left a great legacy of hard work, dedication, and success on the front lines of stem cell research. His work has led to a series of breakthroughs that have taken us closer to the dream of cloning stem cells to match an individual and cure the individual's disease, a breakthrough that would bring hope to countless men, women, and children who are suffering from otherwise untreatable illnesses.
The Yang laboratory, stationed at the University of Connecticut, is the world's leading laboratory in animal cloning and stem cell technology. Dr. Yang and his team provided critical insights into the previously mysterious mechanisms of how germ cells are programmed to form embryos, and how these embryos form distinct types of tissue. He was instrumental in working with then-Connecticut State Senator CHRIS MURPHY (now my colleague Representative MURPHY) to establish the Connecticut State Stem Cell Research Program, one of the very few such programs in the Nation. Because of the program's existence, Connecticut was one of the few states that would fund human embryonic stem cell research that could not be funded by the Federal Government. Just this year, the University of Connecticut announced the derivation of two new human embryonic stem cell lines as a result of these research funds. This breakthrough, along with many others, would not have happened without Jerry's influence and guidance.
Dr. Yang's ultimate dream to tailor stem cell cloning to specific people, organs, and diseases has not yet been realized, but with the help of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, we may yet reach the world he envisioned: One in which organ damage from cancer, heart attacks, spinal disorders, or any other conceivable illness can be reversed with stem cell therapy. I ask that my distinguished colleagues join me in applauding the work of Dr. Yang: he will be sorely missed, but the important work he has done deserves all the recognition and support this body can offer.

And while its unclear whether hell be cleared by an independent neurologist to return to action on Monday night against the Bears, a league source tells PFT that Smith is seeking a second opinion.Its unclear what impact, if any, a second opinion would have on the assessment of an independent neurologist. Given the somewhat subjective nature of the ultimate assessment of a guys symptoms, however, a second opinion that points toward a mild concussion or no concussion at all could influence the independent neurologists assessments.Smith has every reason to try to get back on the field.

Thanks in advance. I've been a vegetarian for 22 years, during most of which I ate milk and eggs, so animal protein is not completely foreign to me.
Any tips from anyone who has made this transition? Has anyone had bad reactions to reintroducing red meat in their diets?
I'm especially interested in establishments which serve organic, humanely-raised animal products, with a special emphasis on the latter. What are some Manhattan-based butchers and restaurants to visit? I know of the Meat Hook in Williamsburg, and there's "Bareburger" in Astoria..any other places? Much appreciated -- I love these boards.

I'd like to know what people like best about staying at the Contemporary. My other options are WL (never stayed there before) or POR (I LOVE this resort - especially Piano Man Bob!). DH has always hinted that he'd like to stay at CR. So, I priced it out and it would only cost $250 more than staying at POR. What makes CR a great resort? Will I be disappointed with the garden wing?

I. Stark Law and False Claims Act
The FCA has become the primary enforcement vehicle for the Ethics in Patient Referrals Act, better known as the Stark Law. There are now more than 150 public cases citing to both the Stark Law and the FCA.1 The government and relators have collected several hundred million dollars in FCA judgments or settlements in cases alleging an FCA violation based upon an alleged Stark Law violation.2
The Stark Law prohibits certain types of health care referrals for designated health services (DHS) when a health care entity has a financial relationship with a physician. Services a physician personally performs are not referrals for purposes of the Stark Law. Personally performed professional services are acts that the doctor does for the patient directly, such as performing surgery for which the doctor bills a professional fee. This is distinguished from ancillary services that the physician may refer to the hospital for which the hospital separately bills a facility fee or technical component.
Critical to compliance with the Stark Law is that the payment to the physician be at fair market value (FMV). FMV under the Stark Law means that the payment is consistent with "general market value," which is defined as "compensation that would be included . . . as the result of bona fide bargaining between well-informed parties to the agreement who are not otherwise in a position to generate business for the other party."3
In addition to FMV, several Stark Law exceptions require that the arrangement be "commercially reasonable." The government has stated that "an arrangement will be considered 'commercially reasonable' in the absence of referrals if the arrangement would make commercial sense if entered into by a reasonable entity of similar type and size and a reasonable physician . . . of similar scope of specialty even if there were no potential for DHS referrals."4
II. The Challenge of the Stark Law Presents To Those Setting FMV
To determine FMV and be consistent with the Stark Law's mandate that market value is determined without reference to other business the physician generated, typically, hospitals compare the physician's personally performed, professional fee revenue to the expenses associated with providing those services. When measured in this constricted fashion, the analysis typically shows that the health care entity lost money by employing the physician.
Thus, to obtain a more realistic gauge regarding whether the hospital satisfies its costs by entering into a financial relationship with the physician, some hospitals will measure the physician's "contribution margin" by comparing the full amount of revenue obtained by all the services and items the physician referred—that is, revenue stemming from the physician's "downstream activity," such as inpatient admissions, outpatients visits and the provision of ancillary services—that results from the physician's management of the patient revenue to the direct costs associated with these services. Indeed, sophisticated modules exist in the marketplace that purport to measure a physician's contribution margin based upon downstream referrals by integrating hospital and ambulatory data at the patient level. The modules can also measure "leakage," that is, the downstream referrals and associated revenue the physician sends to the hospital's competitors, rather than referring back to the health care entity with which the physician has a financial relationship.
The existence of this data presents a potential problem for the hospital related to Stark Law (and ultimately FCA) compliance, especially regarding highly compensated physicians. This is because the determination of FMV is an art, not a science, and there is a wide range of variation regarding what any physician in any medical specialty should arguably receive as compensation. Compounding this problem is the fact that the government has refused to establish an approved methodology to determine FMV5 or commercial reasonableness.6
Thus, when hospital officials have in their files two sets of data—one showing that, just based upon the physician's personally performed services, the hospital loses money, and a second showing that, if the physician's downstream referrals are taken into account, the hospital makes money—an FCA plaintiff may contend that the hospital violated the Stark Law, because the compensation it paid to the physician was influenced by the very data the official has in its files—namely, that the hospital would make money based upon the volume and value of the physician's downstream referrals.
Set forth below is a description of some recent cases and settlements where FCA plaintiffs have sought to establish this type of allegation, and steps a hospital can undertake to reduce the risk of confronting FCA liability when it measures the value of a physician's downstream revenue.
III. FCA Cases and Settlements Questioning the Manner in Which a Health Care Entity Sets FMV
A. FCA Cases Addressing Contribution Margin and Financial Losses in the Context of Alleged Stark Law Violations
The alleged facts in United States ex rel. Schaengold v. Memorial Health, Inc.7 demonstrate how a person setting or negotiating physician compensation and having data related to contribution margin can result in an FCA action. This is especially true when the government, as is common in FCA actions, combs through all emails and correspondence related to the financial transaction prior to filing or intervening in the FCA lawsuit. In Schaengold I, the government asserted:
- Board minutes reflected that the health system sought to expand the employed primary care physician base to engender "loyalty" in its markets to "move" its "economic engine." Health system leadership identified another problem of "Specialists . . . not getting any referrals from [health system's] primary care" doctors and as a result resolved to look into keeping "[r]eferrals within . . . family."8
- Certain physician groups were identified to increase volume and to deprive competitors of volume.
- One group that the health system targeted had a "projected contribution margin of $3.5–5 million per year."9
- The salaries paid to one group of physicians "were well in excess of the 90th percentile of market benchmarks" under the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA).10
- Based upon the payment of these salaries, the health system estimated that, in the six-month period of 2008 during which the physicians worked for the health system, the system sustained losses "in excess of $199,000 per physician, or $597,000 overall." During 2009, these "losses were in excess of $369,000 per physician, or $1.1 million overall." In 2010, the health system's losses "were in excess of $474,000 per physician, or $1.4 million overall." And, finally, during January and February 2011, these "losses were in excess of $130,000 per physician, or $392,000 overall."11
- Minutes of a personnel and compensation committee meeting show that the health system was judging the effectiveness of the physicians' compensation arrangement by reference to patient volume. Additionally, the chairman of the finance committee in 2008, who approved the physicians' employment contracts, stated that the health system "went after a [physician] heavily for several years because aof [sic] volume."12
- The court concluded that, for purposes of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), the government stated a cause of action.
Similarly, in United States ex rel. Schaengold v. Mem'l Health, Inc.,13 the court covered the separate allegations of the relator, a former chief executive officer and president of the health system. The relator, like the government, alleged that FMV determinations were tainted by data reflecting downstream volume. Specifically, the relator alleged:
- "Management included in the FY 2011 budget a downstream volume and revenue negative impact of $80 million in gross charges, which translated to a reduction of $12 million in Net Revenue or a loss of $800,000 in Net Revenue per physician if the . . . physician groups" compensation was reduced to reflect fair market value, as a result, physicians left the health system.14
- "The Board demanded the downstream income and patient referrals be calculated and included in the . . . budget process." Board members also allegedly "insisted that downstream income and patient referrals be considered in negotiating a new compensation model for the Community-based physicians."15
- The 2009 audited financials were released in April 2010 and reported an $18.6 million loss from physician contracts.16
- The relator contended that the relevant physicians received approximately $1.8 million each year in excess compensation when compared to the 75th percentile of total compensation as calculated by MGMA.17
- In particular, the relator informed the chairman of the board's strategic planning committee that one physician group received compensation at or above the 90th percentile of the MGMA.18
- Due to possible losses in downstream revenue and patient referrals, the board rejected the proposed compensation reduction that the relator requested in order to set compensation at fair market value.19
- The court ruled, that, where the relator pleaded that objective benchmarks of compensation were exceeded—compensation that exceeded the 75th percentile and the 90th percentile of MGMA—sufficient facts were pleaded to state a cause of action, and, presumably discovery would proceed.20
In other cases, the government and relators have similarly made arguments that payment to physicians exceeded FMV, because either the hospital lost money on the physician (measured by comparing the physician's professional revenue with the practice's costs) or the physician was paid at the higher end of the scale, and the hospital was aware of the value of downstream revenue. For example, in United States ex rel. Parikh v. Citizens Med. Ctr.,21 the court found that, even if the cardiologists were making less than the national median salary for their profession, given the relator's allegations that the cardiologists' income more than doubled after they joined the defendant hospital even while their own practices were costing the hospital between $400,000 and $1 million per year in net losses, those allegations are sufficient to allow an inference that they were receiving improper remuneration. The court noted that this inference is particularly strong, given that it would make "little apparent economic sense for the hospital to employ the cardiologists at a loss unless it were doing so for some ulterior motive—a motive relators identify as a desire to . . . induce referrals."
B. FCA Settlements Addressing Contribution Margin and Financial Losses in the Context of Alleged Stark Law Violations
Moreover, the government's recent FCA/Stark Law settlements further illustrate how relators and the government piece together two facts: (1) the hospital loses money on physician employment if you look at revenue stemming from the physician's personally performed services compared to related costs; and (2) the hospital will make money if the physician's contribution margin is calculated by including the value of downstream referrals to attempt to prove an FCA and Stark Law violation.
Specifically, from these two facts, FCA plaintiffs conclude that the hospital must have paid excessive compensation (explaining the losses on personally performed services) to obtain the profits stemming from downstream referrals and that this practice violates the Stark Law. Although the conclusion does not logically follow—just because the hospital loses money regarding its employment of the physician does not necessarily mean that the physician received excessive, above-market compensation, and just because the hospital measures contribution margin does not necessarily mean that it paid excessive compensation to the physician to obtain downstream referrals—this narrative clearly has become an attractive one for the government and relators to pursue in FCA actions.
The government's recent FCA settlement with Broward Health reflects the government's interest in reviewing arrangements where the health care facility measures contribution margin and downstream referrals. In Broward Health, the relator, an orthopedic surgeon who had staff privileges at defendant's hospitals, alleged the following facts:
- If physician referrals to the hospitals were not considered, Broward Health compensated its physicians to generate losses in excess of approximately $160 million over the eight years relevant to the complaint.22
- However the relator contends that Broward Health was not concerned about these losses, because Broward Health tracked and monitored the value and volume of referrals from each physician in secretive "Contribution Margin Reports."23 Specifically, the relator asserted that Broward Health deliberately planned and budgeted for massive net operating losses from the overcompensation of employed physicians while secretly tracking profits from referrals by these physicians to Broward Health hospitals and clinics.24
- For example, the relator asserts that, midway through fiscal year 2011, Broward Health calculated the year-to-date "net losses from operations for its employed physicians to be $10,501,373."25 However, once the contribution margin for inpatient and outpatient referrals for these physicians was calculated, it showed a net gain of $5,929,288.26
- Additionally, the relator contended that, for physicians with high numbers of referrals, Broward Health permitted these physicians to inflate their relative value unit (RVU) numbers to increase their compensation. The relator asserted that this practice allowed Broward Health to appear to pay physicians based on RVU production, but, in reality, Broward Health knowingly entered into numerous physician employment contracts based, in part, on excessive compensation rates per RVU and then knowingly permitted certain physicians to escalate their compensation even higher with inflated numbers of RVUs while Broward Health tracked and monitored offsetting referral profits. Specifically, the relator asserted that the RVUs had been inflated because Broward Health failed to apply the multiple procedure reduction rule in calculating RVUs for outpatient and inpatient services and procedures, which is contrary to the MGMA method of calculating physician work RVUs.27
Thus, what these cases and settlements illustrate is that, if the health care entity has in its files a detailed paper trail where downstream revenue and contribution margin are mentioned and the physician is paid at the higher end of the pay scale, or the physicians are employed and compensated at a higher rate than private practice and the hospital documents substantial losses stemming from the physician's employment, an FCA plaintiff can cobble these facts together to attempt to assert that there was not only a Stark Law violation, but also an FCA violation, because the health care entity "knowingly" violated the Stark Law.
IV. Steps to Minimize Exposure to Liability
Hospitals, and other health care entities, must be aware that courts have ruled that they ultimately bear the burden of proof to establish that they have complied with a Stark Law exception or the Anti-Kickback Law's safe harbors.28
Thus, in light of developing case law, any health care entity using contribution margin-like data or tracking physician losses should have robust methods to prove that an arrangement satisfies FMV without reference to downstream referrals or leakage and should validate that the payment is commercially reasonable.
As to FMV, a health care entity should either retain external reviewers or assign internal reviewers who have not been exposed to contribution margin data to confirm that the arrangement is FMV, using reliable survey data demonstrating that the arrangement would be FMV without reference to the volume or value of any referrals.
As to commercial reasonableness, there are a number of reasons that a hospital may study contribution margin data and leakage and employ a physician at a loss measured by direct physician revenue and physician cost. For example, studying contribution margin and leakage data is useful in (1) improving care coordination and avoiding needless duplication of services; for example, by learning whether care stays "in-house," a facility can ensure that patients, especially those with chronic conditions, get the right care at the right time while avoiding medical errors and unnecessary duplication of services; (2) improving quality of patient care by learning whether physicians are referring patients outside the facility because physicians believe patients are better served by physicians or hospitals outside the facility and undertake corrective action; and (3) identifying whether patients are being referred elsewhere because the patients require services that are not readily available through the hospital.
Contribution margin data can appropriately be used as a tool at the hospital to measure whether the hospital can satisfy its costs and thus continue to discharge its mission of serving its community.
The best route for accommodating the legitimate need to take into account the full financial picture stemming from a relationship with a physician and avoiding potentially harmful, negative facts in an FCA proceeding is for the hospital to separate and isolate those responsible for determination of FMV and commercial reasonableness from any access to, or knowledge of, the contribution margin data.
If this approach is followed, your FCA defense lawyer, if the transaction is investigated or litigated, will be able to produce testifying witnesses who can aver that FMV and commercial reasonableness were determined without regard to the volume or value of the physicians downstream referrals.

KNOWN for his bright purple hair and fetching checked trousers, Humpty was once one of the stars of children's telly.
And now the iconic doll from Playschool is expected to fetch four figures at an auction in Oxford.
The 53cm-high egg-shaped toy will go under the hammer at Bonhams auction house in Kidlington on Tuesday as lot 27. The auction starts at 2pm.
Humpty is one of a number of original dolls made for the BBC show, which ran for more than 20 years from the mid-sixties.
Bonhams said the doll, valued at £1,200, was "an important member of the Playschool cast, taking part in almost every single episode and even receiving his very own fan mail."
The show's presenters, who included Johnny Ball and Floella Benjamin, shared the screen with a regular supporting cast of soft toys including Big Ted, Little Ted, Jemima and Hamble.
Rachel Gotch from Bonhams said: "There's a lot of interest in him. It has struck a chord. My generation really do remember the Playschool programme."

In the midst of self-manufactured congressional crisis over the funding of government, Democrats are maintaining the momentum for immigration reform by introducing this bill and inviting Republicans to the negotiating table. This latest proposal should remind members of both parties that Congress's work will not be done this year until they pass legislation that is demanded by a majority of Americans; a solution that brings our outdated immigration system in line with our country's economic needs and community values.
The Democrats' bill combines two bipartisan measures: the House Homeland Security panel's border security bill cosponsored by Republicans and Democrats and unanimously voted out of committee, and the broader bipartisan immigration reform legislation voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this year.
This hybrid bill reflects the collective power of the communities along the U.S.-Mexico border and those of immigrants rights advocates to undo one of the worst provisions of the Senate-passed measure -- the so-called Corker-Hoeven amendment. During the Senate floor debate, the bill's backers added 20,000 border patrol agents, billions of dollars worth of Black Hawk helicopters, drones and other surveillance technologies, because of pressure from conservatives intent on killing immigration reform and the path to citizenship. The Corker-Hoeven amendment also denied immigrants a decade's worth of their past Social Security earnings.
The bill, however, falls short in areas that are critical to families, the economy and the preservation of American values. We urge Congress to take advantage of a new round of immigration negotiations and try to get it right.
Our fundamental issue is that the Senate committee measure, which was the basis for the bill approved by the full Senate, includes a 10-to 13-year path to citizenship that is too long, extremely narrow, and especially difficult for low-income immigrants. As currently written, many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants will have trouble reaching the finish line to earned citizenship.
These immigrants would be required to pay taxes under Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) status, but they would be denied access to the programs paid for by their tax dollars. They would have to wait at least a decade to participate in Obamacare. Immigrant children would be denied food assistance.
Democrats and Republicans should ask themselves: Does the legislation include financial obstacles to citizenship? Does it deny earned benefits such as access to affordable health insurance and nutrition assistance for children? Does it deny due process and judicial review to those separated from families and thrust into deportation proceedings? Does it continue the suffering in our communities created by the current broken immigration system?
If the answer to any of these questions is, "Yes," then they must try harder to produce a bill that is just and provides every one an equal shot at the ladder of success. By applying common sense to the task of legislating on immigration reform, Congress will produce a humane and effective system that promotes our economic prosperity and restores our nation's moral values -- chief priorities that have become the casualties of recent political wars.
After shutting down the government and the recent stunning and shameless vote in the conservative-controlled House to cut $39 billion cut over 10 years from the nation's hunger relief program -- mercilessly slamming the hungry who include young, low-paid military families, minimum wage workers, children, the elderly and disabled -- Congress has a chance to get it right.
Our country should not become one that refuses to feed the hungry, suspends government services, callously separates families, and increases deportations. Lawmakers must resist the temptation to go down the path of exclusionary policies that are mean-spirited attacks against immigrants and the poor.
With Congress's approval ratings at a historic low, immigration reform provides one more chance for both parties to show the American people that indeed, they can legislate. The time is now for Congress to do the job they were elected for. Let's get immigration reform done now and let's get it right.
Hincapié is executive director of the National Immigration Law Center.

Here are answers to questions we frequently receive from field educators and prospective field educators:
I've never been a field instructor. How do I know if I'm eligible?
The Field Education Department requires that new field instructors receive training in how to meet the educational responsibilities involved in supervising M.S. students. To be eligible for training, a new field instructor:
- must have been out of social work school for at least three years.
- must be a licensed social worker (LMSW or LCSW).
- must be enrolled in or have completed a Seminar in Field Instruction (SIFI) at an accredited school of social work.
How do we compensate students for the work they perform at our agency?
You are not obligated to provide compensation for students placed at your agency. Students are usually able to earn funds for their internships via Federal Work Study. The way it works is that the federal government funds 75 percent of the student's compensation on the grounds that the students are providing a valuable service to the community, while the remaining 25 percent is covered by Columbia University. Your agency is not responsible for providing the funding.
What is Federal Work-Study, and are we required to apply for it on the student's behalf?
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is funding provided by the Department of Education to assist students with financing their education. Eligible students are awarded FWS as part of their financial aid package and are then able to earn those funds via an eligible field placement. You are not required to apply for funding on a student's behalf. Once a student is placed with your agency, you will receive an email link to DocuSign requesting that you complete the necessary documents. Once the internship starts, you will need to sign the student's bi-weekly time sheets, verifying the hours they have completed at your workplace. The student will submit these bi-weekly time sheets to the University's Federal Work Study payroll system to receive their FWS compensation.
My student says she needs to develop an Education Plan. What is that?
As field instructor, you must help your student prepare and write up an Education Plan during the first three weeks of Field for review and approval by the student's advisor. Then you, the student and the advisor must sign the plan to signify mutual agreement on the soundness of the plan for the student's education in the field. NOTE: As you work on the Education Plan with your student, you may find it helpful to consult with our Field Education Manual which describes appropriate assignments for CSSW students according to year and method.
I have some issues about my student's performance. What do I do?
If you need to talk about a student's performance, please contact the student's advisor. Advisors are the social work professionals whom CUSSW employs to serve as students' educational support in both the classroom and the field. The advisor assesses the student's performance in the field and also meets with the field instructor for input on how to evaluate the student at the end of the term. To get in touch with a student's advisor, please contact the Advising Office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I need to complete an evaluation of the student's work this semester. Where do I find the right form?
You may download the form from the following list:
- Foundation Year Field Evaluation Direct Practice (MS Word: 8 pages)
- Second-Year Field Evaluation Advanced Clinical Social Work Practice (MS Word: 13 pages)
- Second Year-Field Evaluation Advanced Generalist Practice and Programming (MS Word: 16 pages)
- Second-Year Field Evaluation Policy Practice (MS Word: 10 pages)
- Second-Year Field Evaluation Social Enterprise Administration (MS Word: 11 pages)

I live in Bangalore, India and getting married on 12th May.
My Fi and I are thinking of a 12 night honeymoon trip around 17th May to Italy and Greece.
I'm not really particular about visiting Rome since its going to take up 3-4 days. We're looking at a very laid back vacation.
The places i really want to visit are: Venice, Lake Como, Florence, Tuscany, Amalfi Coast, Athens, Santorini.
Please feel free to add/delete places since i'm extremely confused of what to see and not.
Also, we're on a limited budget so if you could suggest some romantic scenic b&b, guest houses or hotels (3 star). We can spurge on our stay in not more than 2 places of our holiday.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Need help in creating an itinerary for honeymoon in Italy&Greece-12 N
Report Abuse
If you are looking for a very "laid back" vacation, you have too much on your itinerary.
With only 12 days (does that include flights to Europe and back?), if you include all of the placess on your list you will be moving every day or two. That is neither a laid back or budget plan. You will spend half your time in airports and train stations.
Consider dropping Greece altogether or visiting Venice, Athens and Santorini. If you limit your trip to Italy, consider dropping either Lake Como or the Amalfi Coast. These shorter itineraries will allow you to relax and enjoy the places you visit.
Congratulations and happy planning.

For me a laid back vacation would be 2 places in the very limited time you have.
And I think you need to decide if you want to do beach/resort or city/culture/history - or both.
If you want to just relax I would head for the Amalfi coast and Santorini (although you're at the beginning of the sesaon in terms of weather - it can still be chilly at night).
Or, you might want to visit Amalfi for a resort (Capri, Pompeii, ferries to the small towns along the coast and Venice - for a gorgeous city that's very romantic and low key.

Pick 3 based on geography.
More than that will detract from your honeymoon.
Report Abuse
You have very ambitous schedule! Here a though or two. Spend 6 days on mainland ITaly, finishing up in Venice adn then take an MSCV or Azamara one week cruise that has the Croatia and Greece itenrary you like (MSC is reasonbly priced, Azara higher end). Venice cruise teminal is run very well compared to other cities (like Genoa). Comom ill be a bit cold in May, and does take time to get there from anywhere but Milan, so I'd suggest Rome 2 days you can see it well (just come back), hop a trin to Floence for a day and a night, then off to Venice. Before the cruise you can do Venice (1/12 days is fine), then when you get off the cruise, you'd have a day to take in Veron or Padua on a day trip, then last evening in Venice. If money is no object, stay in Venice, but I recommned Mestre, either the Plaza or the Hotel Tritone. Thye are reasonable quiet despite being right accross from the train station. The bus to/from airport is 100 meters away. Train to Venice leaves about evetry 15 minutes and has only 1 stop. There are some nice outlier hotels (Ai Pini, that are nice, but the Euro fares and wait time to from the train station are a hassle. Have a great trip!
Report Abuse
I would never recommend to honeymooners -- or anybody else for that matter -- to stay in Mestre for visiting Venice. You miss the whole experience of staying in a city with no roads, no cars, no trucks, just water traffic. Wandering around at night or early morning before the daytrippers descend. From your room, hearing the water lapping in the canals. Yes, it costs a little more to stay in Venice proper, but there are some lower cost options.
And while I'm at it, avoid the Lido also, unless you absolutely have to have a beach. The Lido has cars, etc.
