Why private jet tourists land in Cambodia's Song Saa
Why private jet tourists land in Cambodia's Song Saa
By Sushmita Choudhury Agarwal, ET Bureau
Some would say Cambodia first arrived on the tourist map back in 1907, when the then French protectorate regained Siem Reap from Siam (Thailand), and over 200 visitors poured in to view ancient temples gradually being freed from the encroaching jungles.
Others pitch the starting point at 1953, when Cambodia gained independence, but the tourist boom of 1960s soon lost steam due to the neighbouring Vietnam war followed by the genocide under Pol Pot between 1975 and 1979 and the ensuing civil war which ended in 1991.
Luxury at its best
A year later, the UNESCO declared Angkor Wat temple complex a World Heritage Site, and gave a shot in the arm to a country struggling to shake off the nightmare that was Khmer Rouge.
Back in 1994, just 1.76 lakh international tourists visited Cambodia but by November 2012, the footfalls increased 1,712%. A majority of these visitors make a pit stop at Phnom Penh and fulfill their craving for the heebie jeebies at the Killing Fields before rushing off to Siem Reap, the closest town to the temple wonders.
Song Saa Private Island
A few make time for the laidback charm and the bamboo train at Battambang. Fewer yet venture southwards to the hills of Kampot and the beaches of Sihanoukville. But since March 2012, private jet tourists have found a new reason to land in Cambodia: Song Saa Private Island.
Nestled in the sapphire waters of the Gulf of Thailand, about a 40-minute speedboat ride from Sihanoukville port, this new resort marries luxury with sustainability.
Song Saa Private Island
Think jungle villas offering spellbinding seascape views through a rainforest canopy that was largely untouched during the building stage. Think Maldives-like overwater villas without their overrun, peas-in-apod feel.
Think ocean-view villas with a spit of private white sand beach overlooking a marine protected area.
In Lap of Nature
This reserve, covering a million square metres, is a first for Cambodia and the resort's in-house marine biologist is now engaged in an education programme to teach local fishermen sustainable methods to ensure fish stocks remain healthy without disturbing the natural habitat.
The resort spans two islands, Koh Ouen and Koh Bong, connected by a long, curving footbridge. While the former houses the accommodation and dining options, the other island is a protected forest.
Song Saa fist to capitalise on the sun-and-surf potential
Though there are several other untouched islands in the Koh Rong Archipelago, Song Saa is the first to capitalise on the sun-and-surf potential. Everywhere you look there are references to the colours and textures of Cambodia's traditional fishing villages with their pitched roofs and open plan living spaces.
If you are on a diet, you might as well postpone plans to visit Song Saa till you are ready to indulge. Because this is foodie heaven.
Private dinner at location of your choice
And you don't have to deal with boring buffets either. While there is a choice of two F&B options, the staff on the island are only too happy to set up a private dinner at a location of your choice.
Imagine watching the cook do his number on a Japanese 'hibachi' grill for a private beach dinner. Or you could choose to dine-in while enjoying an outdoor film experience at your villa with a sail screen and projector.
Itinerary to help you hash out your journey
Arrive at Phnom Penh and keep at least two nights in the city. Keep aside one day for the city sights such as the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, the National Museum, Wat Phnom and the Russian Market.
Another full day will go in discovering Tour Sleng, a Khmer Rouge prison with only seven known survivors, and the Killing Fields where most of the 17,000-20,000 inmates were hacked to death and buried in mass graves.

Itinerary to help you hash out your journey
On the third day, hire a taxi for the four-hour drive down to Sihanoukville on the third day. If you have time, stay a night or two in Kampot or Kep before pushing on to Sihanoukville port.
From here you board the luxury speedboat that will take you to Song Saa. On the return leg, avail of the complimentary airport transfer facility to get dropped off at the relatively-new airport just outside of Sihanoukville, and catch a flight to Siem Reap.
Itinerary to help you hash out your journey
It's advisable to keep at least four nights at Siem Reap to be able to do justice to the place. Apart from Angkor Wat, the world's largest temple complex, there are stunning architectural marvels such as Angkor Thom, Bayon, Koh Ker, Banteay Srei, Kbal Spean and Beng Mealea.
I'd recommend skipping the tourist-infested and highly-overrated Ta Prohm and the Bakheng sunset circus. Instead take a boat ride on the Tonle Sap to see the unique floating villages in the area.
Itinerary to help you hash out your journey
Consider flying back home from Siem Reap itself to save on the journey back to the capital. There are enough and more flights linking Siem Reap with Bangkok.
Ultimately, Song Saa is a place where time has no meaning. Another must-do on the island is the nature safari.
By the way, in the local Khmer language, 'Song Saa' means 'the sweethearts', so do make time to rediscover love while you are here.
Fact File
Getting There: Song Saa guests are ferried from the Sihanoukville Port to the island by a speedboat, a 40-45-minute journey.
The resort also offers complimentary transfers from the Sihanoukville airport, a 15-minute drive from the jetty.
Fact File
Cost: Song Saa villas cost between $1,336 and $5,153 a night, including all meals, drinks, a majority of activities and taxes.
When: Feb 13 to May 31 & Nov 1 to Dec 22 is high season. The Christmas-New Year run up is the peak season. Hence most value-for-money time to visit is around end-October.

Sandalwood, Premium White Large Pieces
Santalum album
Origin: India
Form: Large heart-wood pieces
Unit size: 2 to 3 ounces
Other names: Sandal wood, Sanders wood, White sandal, Yellow sandal, Yellow Sandalwood, Indian Sandalwood
Esoteric Uses: Mental calm, tranquility, meditation, insight, awareness, psychic development
Esoteric Associations: Mercury, Air
Incense Aroma: The richest and most full sandalwood aroma we have ever experienced.
This is a very high and rare grade of large Sandalwood pieces - in fact it is the highest quality we have seen. Because of the varying sizes of each piece, these wood pieces are packaged in packs that weigh between 2 to 3 ounces. The pieces average around 2.5 inches long.
Sandalwood has been used for over 4 millennia in India and the Near East. It has a calming and stabilizing effect on the mind, body, and spirit, which is why it has been used in meditation by traditional Hindus and Buddhists for centuries. The wood itself has been used to carve images of the gods in the Near and Far East, as well as timber for temples. Sandalwood oil has been widely used as a traditional treatment for common colds, bronchitis, skin disorders, heart ailments, general weakness, fever, infection of the urinary tract, inflammation of the mouth and pharynx, liver and gallbladder complaints and other maladies.
White Sandalwood is the same substance as Yellow Sandalwood, with different places using different names. Red Sandalwood, however, is a different species altogether.

is building a reproduction Stampe SV4C from original drawings. The Stampe is a classic aerobatic and training biplane designed in the 1930s by Vertigen Stampe of Belgium. It has an all wood airframe including the fuselage and tailplane.
More information on the build is available on 'The Biplane Forum' and Facebook:

is building a Vans RV-8A . This project is now nearing completion. Powered by a Lycoming IO 360 200 hp angle valve coupled to a Hartzell 2 blade CS Prop. The instrument panel is a Dynon SV 10" 3D. with ADAHRS and engine module and AOA Pitot, complemented by a Garmin AERA 500. Icom comms with King 76a Transponder and if all fails steam powered ASI , ALT,& VSI, oh and a compass! This has been a slow process due to work, I retired last week and expect a faster build rate. The aircraft is now on the Australian Register as VH – ERD.
is building a Vans RV12. This is my second project, the first was a Vans RV6 which has been flying for 6 years now. The RV 12 is going together amazingly well - it's an extremely well-engineered kit. The majority of the metalwork is done, and I'm now working on the wiring. This is slightly complicated due to Vans upgrading the avionics from Dynon 180 to SkyView. This requires the addition of harness adaptors and changes to the types of electrical connectors.
is building a Vans RV4. Almost ready for issue of C of A.
July 2012
is building a Vans RV-12. The empennage and wing kits were delivered the day I got my PPL in August 2010. Now, some 900 hours later I'm busy wiring up the avionics, and about to order the engine and firewall forward kit. My dad flew over from Victoria to help with the wings late last year. He's 93 now, but as keen to see this plane fly as I am. In fact, he'll be back in September to help join the tail cone to the fuselage, trial fit the wings and install the engine. He's really looking forward to us flying it from WA back to Victoria sometime next year when it's finished and the test flying has been completed.
Vans have done an outstanding job with this kit. The precision, the level of integration and the quality of the plans is amazing. As a first-time builder, it has made assembly very easy. With a cruising speed of 115kts, the RV-12 is not the fastest aircraft in Van's lineup, but it will outfly the Cessnas that I'm used to, plus it has features like removable wings, ability to use unleaded fuel or Avgas, Skyview avionics, GPS, transponder, autopilot, lights and typical RV handling. At last count there were 8 RV-12's flying in Australia, with another 20 or so under construction. As Van said in one of his EAA talks `the RV-12 is a plane for all reasons'. He should know, he built one too.
Cheers Rob July 2012

From the moment I booked Ariella Strings the service I received has been 2nd to none. They played beautifully for my drinks reception at my wedding and what made it even better is that I was so dazed by the fact I had actually just got married, I had completely forgotten that they would be sat there playing as I walked out. This made for a lovely surprise.
I only wish I hadn't needed to walk round saying hello to everyone as I could have gladly spent the rest of the day listening
Thanks again
Kirsty and Andy - Drinks reception, The Cock Hotel, Stony Stratford

Ford F-650s rolling out of Escobedo, Mexico, plant.
Production of the '12 F-650 pickup is under way at Ford's plant in Escobedo, Mexico, marking the last generation of medium-duty trucks the auto maker will build south of the U.S. border.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, ruler of Dubai, has a very special way of dealing with stunt drivers who put the lives of others at risk.
In the most recent incident, a driver of an SUV was caught pulling dangerous stunts on City Walk last week. As a result, Sheikh Mohammed ordered him as well as his two friends to do community service.
The incident was caught on tape and posted online. In the video the driver can be seen doing burnouts on the streets amid the outrage of spectators.
The perpetrators were arrested and will now have to clean the streets for four hours a day over a 30 day span.
We certainly hope it'll teach them a lesson.

International Friends Conversation Group Message Board › ***Great families Needed for this Sunday!!!****
user 11209111
Winchester, VA
Hello! This summer I am coordinating two groups of French students. The first just left this past weekend, and the second will arrive on SUNDAY!! They will be here from Sunday July 31 - Aug 20 (3 short weeks) and I still need Host Families for TWO MORE boys! I realize that it is last minute, and I know that you and your families are very busy….. but with them coming on SUNDAY, I am reaching out wherever I can! Given my desperate need to find great families for kids coming in just THREE DAYS, I will do anything I can to help with transportation and making the experience as easy as possible if you decide you can host .
> Meet Damien: Damien is 16. He loves history and is excited to learn and see all the American history DC has to offer.
> Meet Paul-Andre: Paul-Andre is a 14 year old french boy that loves Baseball! Can you believe that, baseball. He sure will love when we go to the Nats Game on 8/3.
> The basic responsibilities for hosting a student is to offer the student their own bed and private space (doesn't have to be their own bedroom, but they do need a private area), 3 meals a day and transportation to and from our weekly activities. The rest of time, they are looking to learn about American culture and practice their English. It is not at all a requirement for families to speak or understand French because the students want to practice English. That said, families may practice/speak French while the students are here as long as they give the students an equal opportunity to practice their English. Some students are far more proficient in English than others so understanding another language can come handy. Host families range from working parents to stay-at-home parents. with children and without. Students realize that they will be in many different family types and that's why they sign up for these programs.
> While here, the students take part in several group activities. The August program has 3 full day and 6 half day activities. These activities give students more than enough to stay busy during the week. There are also other optional outings that other families do and many times families work together and take each other's kids. From the get-go, I work with all my host families to create a wonderful environment where you are not only meeting a student, but also other's in the community. You'll find every host willing to work together and help one another to be sure everyone (host and students) have a great time.
> If you think we can make this work, I will need to get you signed up ASAP (they arrive SUNDAY). Please call and I can take your information over the phone. I will explain the transportation needs for the activities and send the applications for the last two boys who need host families. Again, if transportation is your only concern, I can assure you that we can work around that.
> Lastly, a mandatory Host Family Orientation is schedule for tomorrow night. This will be another great opportunity to work out the details of the program, and prepare for the students arrival on SUNDAY!
> Please feel free to call anytime to talk about the details. I hope to have you join the family! If this won;t work for your family, please do pass it on to anyone else, calls/emails/facebook!!! I really have to find 2 families today!

John Somerset Pakington, 1st Baron Hampton(1799-1880), Politician, First Lord of the Admiralty and Secretary of State for War
Early Victorian Portraits Catalogue Entry
Sitter in 12 portraits
John Pakington entered Parliament as MP for Droitwich in 1837, a seat he held until 1874. He began his parliamentary career as a Whig supporter of Peel, but he grew more conservative and by 1852, he was clearly identified with the Conservatives. He was Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in Lord Derby's 1852 government, and First Lord of the Admiralty in Derby's 1858 and 1866 governments. In 1867, Pakington moved back to the War Office, and continued to serve in that office under Benjamin Disraeli. He was created a baronet in 1846 and Baron Hampton in 1874.

Gary Paffett and Bruno Spengler have been the class of the 2010 DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) season, and it was no different today, as the two Mercedes drivers locked out the front row at the Adria International Raceway. Paffett edged his teammate by a single hundredth of a second on the twisty, compact Adria circuit to take the pole position -- one he needs desperately in order to have a shot at the championship.
"I felt comfortable already yesterday and was able to improve a little bit again and again," he said. "I will give it my all tomorrow, to be up front also at the end and to reduce the gap behind Paul (di Resta) in the overall ranking. My target is to keep my title chances alive."
Paffett was never the fastest in the three initial qualifying segments, but neither was he at risk of being eliminated. Slowly building up to the final single-lap qualifying segment, the Briton was ready when it mattered. Running first on the track, his time of 1:10.471 would not be matched; though Spengler, running last, came close.
Spengler, who has finished in the points in eight of the nine races so far, and on the podium in seven, has spent most of the season leading the championship standings. A disastrous weekend at Hockenheim a fortnight ago, though, dropped him behind di Resta, and he now needs to work to regain the lead -- and take the title.
The Canadian ace got his rhythm perfected by the third segment and set the fastest time there, giving him the final running spot for the shootout. It looked very good as he weaved his C-Class through the twists of the track, but for a small slip at the end of the lap, which surely cost him the pole position.
"At the end of my final lap I made a mistake under braking," Spengler admitted. "However, I stayed on the line and I don't think it cost me much time. I am happy with second place on the grid. I was in the single-lap qualifying a couple of times this year, but I never was on pole. Instead, I won twice and I hope I can repeat this tomorrow."
Critically for Spengler, the championship leader, di Resta never got his car set up quite right, and missed out on the final segment. Instead, he will start sixth, and will have to work hard if he is to prevent Spengler from making up the three-point deficit to the championship lead.
"I struggled throughout the weekend to get the maximum out of my car," di Resta explained. "In the end I lacked about a tenth of a second to make it to the single-lap qualifying."
Mattias Ekstrom took third for Audi as the Ingolstadt team's struggles continue. Ekstrom had already resigned himself to another disaster, as he was the "best of the rest" in the first segment and had not qualified to move on -- until Audi's 2008-2009 champion, Timo Scheider had his final time disallowed as the session had ended before that time was set.
Ekstrom made the best of the opportunity, and was second-fastest in the second and third segments, and then finally took third on the grid with a final lap that was 0.089 seconds off Paffett's pace.
"I thought that I was eliminated as early as after the first section," Ekstrom recalled. "Timo's misfortune of having crossed the line too late was my fortune and allowed me to move into the next round. Position three is surely not bad but frustrating if you look at the small gap. Anything's possible in the race tomorrow and the aim is clear: victory."
Jamie Green took fourth for Mercedes, and will start alongside Ekstrom. Meanwhile, Mike Rockenfeller impressed again in a 2008-spec Audi and took fifth, 0.038 seconds ahead of di Resta.
The race, the penultimate one of the 2010 DTM season, will take its start at 2 PM local time tomorrow.

NFL Speculation: Latest DeAngelo Williams Rumors and WhispersMay 29, 2011
NFL Speculation: Latest DeAngelo Williams Rumors and Whispers
As we the fans go about our daily lives trying to make a living, the owners and players are bickering over how to split $9 billion. I wish I had that problem.
While they try and make this monumental decision on fewer work hours than our Congress, there are still huge questions to be made by star free agents. One player with an important decision to make is running back DeAngelo Williams.
The Carolina Panthers star is the best running back in this free agent class. He was injured last season, but there is no bigger playmaker than a guy who still haunts Jon Gruden. He can run inside, outside, catch, and block. He'll stiff arm, twist, juke, truck and just make defenders look silly.
His choice is difficult as he loves Carolina and has grown a strong relationship with Jonathan Stewart, forming the only duo to each rush for over 1,100 yards in history.
Unfortunately, the question arises if Williams is worth a new contract with Carolina having Stewart and Mike Goodson, who had performed well in the absence of the duo. The Panthers also have Tyrell Sutton, who can be a contributor.
Does Williams rejoin Stewart to form one of the best backfields in the past 25 years, or does Williams look elsewhere for a shot at a championship and being the featured back?
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have Frank Gore who is a top back. But who do they have after him?
Williams along with Gore would make for a dominant duo. There are questions as to Gore's health, and having Williams would take some of the wear-and-tear off to preserve Gore, allowing him to last longer in the season.
Williams would also allow for a heavier focus on the running game with uncertainty lingering at the quarterback position. Alex Smith may be quarterback and he may not be. It might be more beneficial for Smith to throw less and hand off more.
It's a common theme in the NFC West, it's wide open. No one in the West has a good 1-2 running back tandem and if the 49ers were the first, it would certainly give them an edge in the division.
St. Louis Rams
The Rams are not a team often heard in the discussion for Williams, but think about it. The Rams have Steven Jackson, but the guy carries the ball close to 400 times each season. That's a lot of beatings to take.
The Rams need someone to take the load off of Jackson's shoulders yet still provide explosiveness and due damage. Plus, Williams' shiftiness and speed complements Jackson's more downhill and punishing running style.
Sam Bradford is coming along as a quarterback and the receiving corps just received a huge boost through the Draft.
Adding Williams would complete their skill positions, allow for a more balanced attack, and allow more time for the offense to be on the field and more time for the defense to be off it.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos make a lot of sense for Williams. They have a young back in Knowshon Moreno, but he is coming off an injury and could use some guidance.
Williams would also have the chance to play with Tim Tebow and could be the feature back in former coach John Fox's run-heavy offense.
Plus, if the Broncos could keep the offense on the field, then that will keep a rebuilding defense off the field.
Similar offense, chance to be the feature back and mentor, and better chances of winning in a comparatively weak division makes Denver a good possibility for Williams to spend the 2011 season.
Indianapolis Colts
The Colts have never been a premier running team. The offense usually relies on Peyton Manning calling the shots, making the plays and at least getting them to the playoffs.
Williams may be the best back the Colts have had in the Manning era, even better than Edgerrin James. He can catch the ball and block, but Williams would be more dynamic and more of a solid rusher.
With Joseph Addai also a free agent, it is a question of who can be the feature back and would be complemented by Donald Brown's down-hill running style.
Williams may actually be more dangerous in Peyton's system, as the defense will be more focused on stopping the pass and even seven-man fronts would be uncommon.
The Colts are consistently bad at rushing and to add a playmaker like Williams would provide the best opportunity for the Colts to get back to the Super Bowl.
Remember, Manning may have won the MVP of their Super Bowl year, but it was Dominic Rhodes and Addai who rushed for close to 160 yards and dominated the playoffs.
Miami Dolphins
The popular choice in the Williams sweepstakes is the Dolphins. With both Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams being free agents, now is the opportune time to make a change at the position.
Two seasons ago, the Dolphins thrived off of the unusual pairing of Brown and Williams. Brown is a jack-of-all-trades type as he can run, catch, block and even pass. Williams was the prototypical running back with a north-south style, but he could also catch.
They ran the Wildcat to perfection and captured the division. Last season, the Dolphins decided the Wildcat was not good enough and that their offense needed to be more deliberate and professional.
To say this plan backfired would be an understatement as they lost what made them special in the first place.
Williams is probably gone and if Brown is re-signed, it will not be for an every-down role. The Dolphins did draft Daniel Thomas out of Kansas State in the second round, but they need someone to complement Thomas' physical run style.
Williams brings much of the diversity that Brown brought, but with more explosiveness. Williams will like that he gets to stay in the same part of the country, nice weather, and will be joining an offense with a complete receiver corps.
If Williams does not re-sign with Carolina, this would be the ideal situation but…
Carolina Panthers
In the end, Williams is a Carolina Panther inside and out. He loves it in Carolina, it's his home, he's got a great friendship with Stewart and I believe will return.
The Panthers drafted Cameron Newton, who will bring more explosiveness and excitement to the offense. Look what Michael Vick did for Warrick Dunn, that could happen here.
He will have a healthy offensive line, and Newton's arm and athleticism will keep defenders out of the box and on their toes. Williams will forgive the fact Jim Skipper wasn't retained and Double Trouble will be together again.
The Panthers have prided themselves on drafting well and retaining those picks that succeed. They did not follow through with Peppers, but they cannot afford to let Williams go, especially since he will bring nothing in return.
They must re-sign him and then do what they feel is best afterwards, but he must not be allowed to just walk away.

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), along with their dependents, have all the reason not to worry after the government found means to help them under a health program dubbed "HEALTHPRO," it was learned Sunday.
The HEALTHPRO is expected to attend to the health needs of the OFWs.
In strengthening the HEALTHPRO project, the Region 13 office of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA 13) has partnered through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Caraga Regional Hospital (CHR) as its medical institution partner.
The agreement was signed by OWWA 13 Officer-In-Charge Director Marietta Lumawag, CHR Chief of Hospital Dr. Ponciano Limcangco, and in partnership with the provincial government of Surigao del Norte through Provincial Administrator Romeo Cal.
The historic signing was conducted at the Provincial Governor's Conference Room.
As this developed, Rep. Francisco Matugas (1st District, Surigao del Norte), Rep. Guillermo Romarate Jr. (2nd District, Surigao del Norte), and Surigao del Norte Gov. Sol. Matugas were elated.
Lumawag said the CHR is the first medical institution-partner for the HEALTHPRO program in the region.
HEALTHPRO is a subsidized medical and hospitalization service for OFWs who need medical treatment for illnesses contracted while working abroad.
The medical assistance will be up to P100,000 for active OWWA-member OFWs, and P50,000 for the distressed OFW's regardless of membership status who is in urgent need of medical assistance.
For Job Site hospitalization/confinement abroad, assistance offered will be up to $ 3,000 for OWWA members, and $1,500 for the distressed OFWs, added Lumawag.

A few rapid fire questions for the designer behind Evens.
1. Where do you get your inspiration for your prints and fabrics?
Seriously everywhere. Lately, repetition in construction, aerial views, industrial materials, NASA image archives.
2. What's your guilty pleasure?
Definitely lots of pizza.
3. Most overused phrase?
Probably "lolz."
4. The best advice someone has given you or you have for someone?
Things are never as they seem!
5. Favorite go-to date outfit?
Usually a power suit in jumper form.
6. How did you develop your sense of style?
My mom would tell you I was born with it. I think it was from having to learn to alter / rig my own clothes growing up because nothing fit me.
7. Favorite app?
Filmstruck right now!
8. Favorite productivity tool?
Still stuck on my moleskin calendar.
9. Tell us about Red - your new kitten?
Red it such a punk! I got him so that my dog Arlo could have a buddy around. Red basically tortures Arlo all day, and Arlo loves it. He latches onto my pant leg and climbs all the way up to my shoulder to perch, if that gives you any idea.
10. What are you listening to right now?
11. Favorite local spot?

Kory suddenly appears and steals Kiyo's book from Steng and while dodging Baltro's attacks, returns Kiyo's book. Folgore and Kanchome meanwhile manage to free themselves allowing Kiyo and Zatch to defeat Steng and Baltro.

Americans with Disabilities Act anniversary
The Rockford Park District celebrated the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, landmark legislation that opens the door for more than 49 million Americans, on July 26.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is one of the most compassionate and successful civil rights laws in American history. It has made our schools, workplaces and places for relaxation and entertainment more welcoming.
What is its impact? ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in every day activities, such as using the phone, buying groceries or any item at a store, going to a concert or the movies, riding a bus, applying and being hired for a job, enjoying a meal or happy hour at a local restaurant, playing golf or tennis, having the car serviced at a local garage, attending a day camp, etc.
The law established requirements for units of government and business of all sizes. Organizations that serve the public must modify policies and practices that discriminate against people with disabilities; comply with accessible design standards when constructing or altering facilities; remove barriers in existing facilities where readily achievable; and provide services, including auxiliary aids when needed to ensure effective communication with people who have hearing, vision, or speech impairments.
When ADA took effect in 1990, the Rockford Park District had programs already in place to serve people with disabilities at their facilities. Barb Baptista una Freund, senior manager of Community and Therapeutic Recreation, said, We started levying the Special Recreation Tax in 1989 to continue implementing the plan we had already in place to best serve people with disabilities. ADA just clarified practices and made it quicker and easier for us to implement policies.
Today, in celebration of ADA, the Rockford Park District is launching an Awareness Program to be based on the feedback received from the patrons in the next 13 days. For 13 years, the ADA has changed attitudes that once seemed unchangeable and has proven that when people are treated with dignity and respect, our entire nation benefits.
During the next 13 days, citizens are encouraged to point out efforts they observed or experienced in place throughout the park district that assure people of the intent of the district in welcoming and serving citizens with disabilities. The feedback will be available on the Rockford Park District Web site and will be used to refine a three-year plan to be recommended by staff to the Board of Commissioners, as a result of a failed referendum in April.
The feedback will also be shared with Governor Rod Blagojevich, who is being asked to sign SB 1881 that exempts from the PTELL (Property Tax Extension Limitation Law) aggregate, the levy used by park districts and municipalities to fund public recreation for persons with disabilities. Specifically, Blagojevichs signature on SB 1881 will allow the opportunity for all Illinois park districts and municipalities to make a difference in the lives of citizens with disabilities through recreation.
SB 1881 will allow the Rockford Park District to enter many partnerships and collaborative efforts with communities in the area they decide to levy the tax for their residents. The Rockford Park District currently levies the Special Recreation Tax at a rate of $0.038.

Pay extra attention to safety when your company is going through labor unrest. Reason: A new study shows that the likelihood of a federal safety inspection rises when companies are facing a strike, claims of unfair labor practices, union organizing or other labor problems.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is 6.5 times more likely to inspect a workplace with labor unrest, according to the study from the General Accounting Office (GAO), a nonpartisan watchdog of Congress.
Based on limited data from fiscal 1994 through 1998, the GAO found an overall inspection rate of 1.3 percent at U.S. companies, compared to 8.6 percent at companies with labor troubles.
Big reason for the higher rates: more complaints. A full 60 percent of inspections at companies with labor unrest were prompted by employee safety complaints. That's compared to 22 percent of all inspections.
GAO says that related factors may lead to both labor unrest and to safety and health violations.
For example, a strike may be caused in part because of unsafe working conditions, or it may lead to them if replacement workers are less trained. In addition, OSHA focuses on high-risk and more unionized industries, such as construction and manufacturing. Of course, workers in a union are likely to be more aware of their rights and to file a complaint.
To read the report, Worker Protection: OSHA Inspections at Establishments Experiencing Labor Unrest (HEHS-00-144), visit www.gao.gov or call GAO for a free paper copy at (202) 512-6000.

Rafael Nadal (left) and Juan Martin del Potro have never met in Davis Cup play, but are set to play Sunday. (Miguel Angel Morenatti/AP)
The draw for the Davis Cup final took place in Seville, Spain, on Thursday, and as expected, Argentina will sit David Nalbandian on the first day and put its hopes squarely on the shoulders of Juan Martin del Potro.
By sitting Nalbandian, Argentine captain Tito Vasquez is banking on his men to win tie Nos. 2, 3 and 5 to pull off the upset. Concede to the King of Clay, Vasquez seems to be saying. Take your shot against the others.
Here's how the matches stack up:
Friday, Dec. 2
TV Coverage: Tennis Channel, Live, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. ET
Match 1: Rafael Nadal vs. Juan Monaco: There's no other way to say it: Monaco is being thrown to the wolves here, sacrificed for the good of the team. Monaco has lost both matches the two have played on clay, winning no more than four games in either match. Of course, the two haven't met since 2007, when Nadal retired in Cincinnati.
Unfortunately, the best Monaco can hope to do here is keep Nadal on the court as long as possible. Everyone knows the world No. 2 is tired, struggling with a few nicks here and there, and if Monaco can make Nadal work hard for the victory, he will have done his job, possibly softening him up for Sunday's clash against Del Potro.
My Pick: Nadal def. Monaco, 3 sets to love
Match 2: David Ferrer vs. Juan Martin del Potro: This is where the Argentine hope lies on Day 1: Can Del Potro secure a point here? He certainly has the ability, having won their last two encounters on hardcourts. But the big man is a mystery these days. Which Del-Po will show up? And will he have answers for a relatively in-form Ferrer on slow Spanish clay? I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes.
My Pick: Del Potro def. Ferrer, 3 sets to 1
Saturday, Dec. 3
TV Coverage: Tennis Channel, Live, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ET
Match 3: Fernando Verdasco/Feliciano Lopez vs. David Nalbandian/Eduardo Schwank: Verdasco and Lopez are Spain's go-to doubles team, but the two have been on a horrible run. They've lost 10 of their last 11 matches together on Tour and in Davis Cup, including a shellacking at the hands of France in September.
That said, the last time these two countries met, at the 2008 final, Verdasco and Lopez scored a thrilling 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 win over Nalbandian and Augustin Calleri to take a 2-1 lead into the final day. Argentina absolutely has to win this rubber to have a chance. Look for King David to step up and keep Argentina in the hunt.
My Pick: Nalbandian/Schwank def. Verdasco/Lopez, 3 sets to 1
Sunday, Dec. 4
TV Coverage: Tennis Channel, Live, 7 a.m.-1 p.m. ET
Match 4: Rafael Nadal vs. Juan Martin del Potro: Nadal holds a 6-3 record over Del Potro, and, unsurprisingly, all three of the Argentine's wins have been on hardcourts. Del Potro will always have a shot given his massive power and ability to hit through the court, but, assuming his health holds up, Rafa should roll here. He's just that good.
My Pick: Nadal def. Del Potro, 3 sets to love
Match 5: David Ferrer vs. Juan Monaco/David Nalbandian: If this is a live rubber, there's no way Nalbandian isn't on the court. The entire population of Argentina wouldn't be able to keep him off the court if the tie truly does come down to this battle. You get the sense that Nalbandian's entire career, all the ups and downs, has been leading him here. Olympic Stadium, in Spain, with his country's first Davis Cup title to be decided by no one but him? You could not write the script any better.
If the tie doesn't get to this match, then Spain will have rolled, as expected, capturing its third title in four years and extending its home unbeaten streak to 21. But if it does come down to Nalbandian and Ferrer, a lot of history could be made, altered, written and rewritten. My hands are sweating just thinking about it.
My Pick: Nalbandian def. Ferrer, 3 sets to love
And the winner is...

Sachin blooms in Bloemfontein and elsewhere
The curly hair had gone as had the shyness and innocence. There were no more monosyllabic interviews or reticent smiles. My first interview with Sachin Tendulkar "Sr" was on 3rd November 2001 (exactly 12 years ago) on a chilly spring evening at Goodyear Park Bloemfontein.
He had just scored a masterly 155 and overshadowed a dashing young debutant from Delhi by the name of Virender Sehwag. He scored. He spoke. He smiled. The words flowed as candidly as his cover drives.
My greatest memories of the master though would have to be sitting next to him on a long flight and chatting about fighter planes in the West Indies, interviewing him in his living room as he cut his birthday cake with Anjali, Sara, Arjun and his mother in 2004, and, on a cricket field, being asked to anchor the on field celebrations of his hundredth Test at the Oval in 2002.
The entire Indian team was present and presented him a memento as he walked on to field. I can never forget his words. He said then that getting it (the memento) from his cricketing family made it more special. The extended family is now getting set to bid adieu to a man whose career span needed to be covered by two generations of MY family!

Yes, men should pay for dates. If a guy asks a girl out, he should be responsible for the cost of the date. If he's not well off, then he needs to be up front and honest about it and suggest an inexpensive dinner or form of entertainment. Either way, if the guy is initiating the date, then he needs to pay the tab. If there is a second or third date, then they can discuss finances, but the cost of that first date should fall on the guy.
Yes, for it cost women more to maintain their image - makeup, hair, unwanted hair removal, clothing and it takes more time. I don't think any man would date someone all natural (with blemishes and unshiny hair that comes with it) in t-shit and jeans. But it would be ok for the women to initiate and pay for the dates too, but that shouldn't be a must.
Firstly, everything has a cost and dating costs too. It's a guy's responsibility to pay for the date if he initiates it.
Secondly, the girl has put in the effort in make up and most importantly sparing her time given their youth is limited and diminish over time, so paying for the date is just a fair trade
Women get marginalized frequently. They are, by a wild margin, the main victims of sexual abuse. All in all, the entire world is geared towards men. It's only fair that men, the benefactors of the patriarchy, should foot the bill for dates. Notions of fairness aside, it's also a pretty standard application of averages. Men, on average, earn more than women (due simply to the fact that they are men, which is another feature of the patriarchy). Thus, on average, it is less of a burden for men to pay for dates, and as such if a social institutional should exist around the cost of dating, it should be the duty of the male in the relationship to pay the fees.
Man has asked the woman on the date. If he has offered to take her out, to treat her, then it is considered polite to pay. Plus it seems kind of douche-y to ask a girl on a nice date and be sweet and kind, and the dump the tab on her. If it's an informal date, just to get to know each other, really, then they should pay for their own or split the tab.
if the man asked the woman out, absolutely he needs to pay for the dates. as long as the man still wants the woman to have a good impression of him, he should be kind and generous, otherwise he will lose her for sure. just imagine every time the man needs to calculate the money with the woman he just dated as if he wants to split the bill.... awkward and really not that nice.
are you people thinking? Of course men should pay for dates! You think a guy can just waltz into a bazaar, grab a bag of dates, and then just waltz out without paying? What kind of bloody communist socialist pinko red scum are you? Seriously... Men should definitely pay for dates.
In this age of equality, men shouldn't pay for every date. A relationship is a woman's choice as well. Paying entirely for one date offers the stigma of indebtedness for "things" later that night. Paying entirely for a date isn't chivalry anymore. If one half of the couple pays for the first date, the other half should pay for the second date.
Let me clarify: men should not be expected to pay for dates. If a man wants to pay for a date, it should be his choice, and he should not do so out of some antiquated tradition that says the man should always pay for the date. Likewise, the same should go for a woman as well. All things should be equal between the sexes.
It is generally thought that the K–Pg extinction was caused by a massive comet or asteroid impact, estimated to be 10 km (6.2 mi) wide, 66 million years ago and its catastrophic effects on the global environment, including a lingering impact winter that made it impossible for plants and plankton to carry out photosynthesis. The impact hypothesis, also known as the Alvarez hypothesis, was bolstered by the discovery of the 180-kilometre-wide (112 mi) Chicxulub crater in the Gulf of Mexico in the early 19
Men should not pay for dates on the ground that the main reason men take a women out is a way to lead to sex (Women, take it from a guy, no matter if your guy 'not like that', he actually is. If he says he's not, he's lying) I actually answered this question for my college thesis and found it more likely for the girl to sleep with a guy on the first date if he DOESN'T pay; and apparently I'm not the only one to discover this: http://www.girlschase.com/content/should-you-pay-date
Thus, guys, don't pay for dates.
HOWEVER, if two homosexual guys go out on a date, one of the guys should probably pay in that situation. Restaurants tend to get a bit touchy if no-one pays at all.
I believe that the ONLY reason that a male should be expected to pay for a date is if, and only if the female expects to take a traditional role of being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. If a couple wants to take on traditional roles then that is fine, otherwise don't make a male pay for everything just because he was born as a male.
No they should not , these days women are equal to men and earn their own money and we have equality.. And hence women should pay for their own dates.
That is the best way to do it.
Dont be a gold digger , and pay for your dates. :D
Gendered requirements in a relationship aren't good for either partner. Men should not be expected to drain their wallet for a chance at love anymore than a woman should be expected to grant him any "favors." If both partners decide they want to, that's fine, but it should not be a expectation.
This probably started when women effectively in General we're not able to go out and work so the man who had much more cash usually would pay. By the good work of feminism and rights campaigns this gender economy gap no longer exists in modern economically developed nations and thus the practice should not continue. Otherwise it is just blatant sexism.
The couple should decide in advance what is going to happen on the date but there is no real reason the man should be automatically expected to pay for the date. Splitting the tab is a good way to eliminate the entitlement some men feel when they pay for the date and allow women to be more confident when making and going on dates.
What kind of backwater, conservative society expects a man to pay for dates to begin with? In this day and age - an age that is not the dark ages - a man should never be expected to pay for any date, not the first nor the last. If a woman assumes the man is going to pay for the date, she needs to go home and have a good ponder whether we live in the 21st century or the 12th.
Saying that, a man should never expect a woman to pay for the date either. Each party should expect to pay for their own expenses. I really thought things were simple like that!
