Hi there,
Since the last sonos update, I can't access to my Spotify account anymore (iphone & Mac). How is that possible?
Please help asap, impossible to live without.
To use your Sonos system, just log in with the long series of digits and create a device password from here:
Once you have your Spotify username and your device password, please login to Spotify on your Sonos system with these details.
hello all, I've got the same problem, i can login on the website but spotify tells sonos that my account does not exists... help meeee :-)
Hi, I bought 2 Play5's yesterday, opened a premium account on Spotify and had everything running smoothly within half an hour. Later on yesterday I reconfigured the system because I added a bridge to the system (at first I connected one of the two P5's directly to my router until the mailman delivered an unused extra bridge a friend of mine sent me).
Then things went entirely wrong: the sonos controller no longer showed Spotify as an avaliable music source, and in the list available music services Spotify is no longer an option, so I cannot reconnect Sonos to Spotify.....
Telephone help desk is unavailale in the weekends and I'm dying to play with my new toy some more. It was so much fun while it lasted! Who can help me???
kind regards,

Have you tried a clean installation of Spotify at all? That might refresh the selection of available music sources.
Thanks for your reply. You mean I should reinstall the spotify software all together?
I just deleted and reinstalled the Spotify software but Spotify still it doesn't appear in the available music services list in my Sonos Controller, unfortunately. Any other ideas?
Hi. I had a similar problem and found that Sonos had somehow lost my spotify password. Went to Sonos/Manage/Service Settings/Services then edit Spotify. I just re-entered my Spotify password
I'm wondering if anyone can help me, or direct me to a fix. I am trying to set up my Spotify account on a SONOS network. I have been a premium subscriber to Spotify for over a year and listen to my music all the time. Problem is I made my account through facebook... I did this suggestion and it tells me it doesn't have my email. It shows me that you have my email but it still won't send me the info to set a password on SONOS.... this is infuriating, these have been together for a while now (don't know exactly how long) why have they not smoothed out all these issues with connecting them?
Hey! Welcome to the community :)
If you get in touch with the customer services team directly using the online contact form they will be able to send you out one of those emails manually. I have seen a few topics about this lately, so I have escalated it as an issue with the Spotify team.
If you get an automated email reply back directing you to the community or help pages, you need to reply directly to that email (even if its from no-reply) and one of the customer services agents will get back to you as soon as possible.

here's little that's new about Barack Obama, said Jonah Goldberg in the Los Angeles Times. He may be shying away from "old liberal ideas," but "only to embrace older ones"—like Woodrow Wilson's pledge to "spread the prosperity around." Team Obama rolls its eyes at "socialism" charges, but in a "just-unearthed 2001 interview" with Chicago public radio, Obama laments "that 'the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth.'"
That's a "wildly inaccurate reading" of Obama's remarks, said Joe Klein in Time online. In fact, he's saying the opposite: We should decide tax distribution issues through politics, not the the courts. We've had a "redistribution of wealth, upward," in "the Reagan era"—calling Obama a socialist because he wants to "redress this imbalance is as accurate as calling McCain an oligarch because he doesn't."
Still, it's clear from the interview that "he supports 'redistributive change,'" said David Bernstein in The Volokh Conspiracy. That may not be particularly surprising, and it isn't socialist, but it's not a political winner, either. Polls show that voters think "it's emphatically not the government's job to redistribute wealth."
Then voters should think twice about Sarah Palin, too, said Steve Benen in Washington Monthly. Just last month she said Alaskans "share the wealth" from oil companies—they don't pay income or sales taxes, and they're each getting a $3,200 check this year. Obama's the socialist? "Palin's Alaska is about as close to socialism as America gets."

KERRY'S EYE online
KERRY'S EYE online
KERRY'S EYE THIS WEEK - Published Thursday 5th December, 2013
The Kennelly Archive can be viewed for free in its entirety at www.kennellyarchive.com, the story of Kerry between 1953 and 1973 is revealed in thousands of photographs tell a tale of a country shedding a traditional, rural past and turning its face towards the modern world.
The heartbroken husband of a woman who was buried last weekend is demanding a full inquiry into why he had to wait over 20 minutes for an ambulance from Listowel - while his wife choked to death less than a mile from Kerry General Hospital in Tralee.
Liz Riordan from Direen, Cahersiveen, died last Thursday - the day of her 53rd birthday - six days after choking while eating at a Tralee restaurant.
An audit of sick days carried out by the Local Government Audit Service has found that council staff in Kerry are amongst the unhealthiest in the country - and call in sick more than twice as often as private sector employees.
Workers at Kerry County Council take an average of almost thirteen sick days a year according to the report, costing the local authority an estimated €2.63 million.
Residents of a Tralee housing estate were shocked this week as news spread that neighbour Naomi Mothersoul had been taken to the UK and jailed for 18 months - for her part in an armed robbery 19 years ago.
Meanwhile, Killarney actress Jessie Buckley is hitting the big time in London's West End - and enjoying every moment of a lengthy on-stage snog every night with Hollywood hunk Jude Law.
Jessie's performance as Law's lover in Shakespeare's Henry V drew rave reviews after the play's official opening at the Noël Coward Theatre on Tuesday night.
Kerry captain Eoin Brosnan announced his retirement from inter-county football this week. Brosnan's alround ability saw him play at wing forward, midfield and later in defence for his county. In the mid-2000's he was a veritable goal machine for The Kingdom. In a two page tribute Brosnan talks about his reasons for retiring. Current Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice also pays tribute to a player who ranks sixth in the all time rankings with 68 appearances.
PHEW! That was close. 1/33 favourites very nearly fell to Clare champions Cratloe. Having led by seven points at the break the Killarney side were overwhelmed by the Bannermen containing four All star hurlers.
But a gritty finish, without the sent-off Colm Cooper, got the Black & Ambers over the line.
Read the best match report only in Kerry's Eye this week.
Kilcummin survive- Finuge drop out of the Garvey's SuperValu County senior Football Championship.
In a gripping game in Strand Road on Saturday Kilcummin held off a battling but tired North Kerry outfit.
Meanwhile other relegation matters were moving towards resolution in Annascaul. Ardfert defeated An Ghaeltacht for the first time in a thriller. This sent the Westerners down to County League Division Three. Ardfert may yet join them. They must defeat Kenmare this Sunday in Listry to stay in Division Two.
With the 'hoop' season in full swing it was a good weekend for Kerry clubs. Tralee Imperials were forced to move their game to Killarney. But they beat National Cup champions Drimnagh Dynamos with something to spare.
Meanwhile Team Garvey's beat Titans and Tom McCarthy's accounted for UL Huskies in a three time victorious weekend. If that isn't enough The Castleisland Basketball Blitz is launched this Friday.
There's a new report out about conditions in the country's largest prison for women that highlights what's been classed as a major problem: overcrowding.

Hinkie prefaced by saying that he could not discuss certain specifics — like the one topic everyone wants to talk about, the trade…

I don't know what's going on with Allen Iverson. One minute, he's broke. The next, he's got plenty of money stashed away. Later, he's kidnapped his own kids, except he didn't kidnap his own kids. All this is sandwiched around a profile from the Washington Post that should have just about anyone concerned for the…

The full phrase is "Californians have no soul, there are no seasons in California". Although I heard it said that the Californians' lack of soul is due to the plethora of hot tubs and marijuana. This is a backhanded self-complement heard when midwesterners get together and reminisce over their recent vacation in a nicer place. It implies that the Californian, who suffers through winter only for the 10 hour automobile drive to the ski slopes, is not the hearty, rugged, specimen of humanity the midwesterner is.
Some of the others things that Californians do not have, and suffer the worse for it, include good hot dogs, philly cheese steak, smoked meat sandwiches, decent ginger ale, and cigars.
This is the same city where I was jumped by skinheads when I was seventeen. This is the city that burned for a few horrible days in 1992. This is the city where the ongoing corrupt police scandals take a back seat to celebrity breakups. This is the city that condemned its original Chinatown to make way for its train station. This is the city of Raymond Chandler detective stories and Easy Rawlins mysteries. It's the city where Cesar Chavez became an activist; the city where landmark buildings disappear; the city founded by Catholic missionaries;the city where Scientology has it headquarters. It's a great, ugly, wonderful, sprawling nightmare of a city. And it has a soul, and its people have souls. But it's not California.
Los Angeles is not the lumberjacks of the far north, or the country music listening truckers who bring goods from the central valley. It's not the silicone valley nouveaux riches or the aging birkenstock-wearing hippies near Berkeley. L.A. isn't even really Disneyland. California is all of these things and more. So let the rest of the world snicker at us and call us shallow and soulless. The people who live here know better.
Evil has the right idea, also go see what dem bones says in there are no seasons in California. Please come here and stand at the base of a 1000 year old tree and try to figure out where you fit in the big picture. Sure, I've got a chain saw, but when they dug the stumps up in Guerneville to put in the sewer system, the ones that had been underground for 100+ years were still sound. California is all things, it's your future, it's your past. It's okay, we're glad to share. Can't help it, I have to reply to these nodes.

ToolsA free pass for false 'papers'Even though the Laws of Trinidad and Tobago list fraud as an offence, it appears that a certain kind of fraud is in practice legal, once it is committed against State entities by persons in favour with the Government of the day. Last week, an investigation by the Express revealed that Dayanand Birju, a deputy manager at the Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (AATT), had falsified his university degree. Previously, AATT deputy chairman Kurt Adjodha resigned after his qualifications were queried in Parliament by the Opposition. And there have been several similar situations at other State entities. In all cases, none of the persons who had misrepresented their qualifications were charged with any offence, with resignations being considered sufficient penalty. Transport Minister Stephen Cadiz, who is the line minister for the AATT, echoed this mindset when asked about the Birju matter, saying that he considered the scandal to have "sent a message, that if found out, you will be very embarrassed". This is an astonishing perspective. First, Minister Cadiz's phrasing implies that wrongdoing is wrong only if discovered. Then he assumes that embarrassment is sufficient punishment, which is ironic coming from a politician, since many in that profession continually demonstrate by word and deed that embarrassment holds no terrors for them. AATT officials have sidestepped all queries about the Authority's response. At the very least, this hesitation smacks of political timidity. More importantly, treating the issue as trivial exacerbates a perspective that a country can progress without qualified persons occupying positions of authority — an unholy combination of contempt for "book sense" and the principle that political loyalty is the best qualification.
Contrary to what Minister Cadiz asserts, the messages which these incidents have so far sent are (1) that qualifications and competence don't really matter; and (2) that lying about one's qualifications is a trivial offence. Indeed, Kamla Persad-Bissessar's administration demonstrated this perspective early on in 2011 with the short-lived appointment of clerk Reshmi Ramnarine to head the Strategic Services Agency, and then again seven months ago when the Government approved the continued presence of Hafizool Ali Mohammed on the Commission of Enquiry into the 1990 coup attempt, after it was revealed that Mr Mohammed had blatant inaccuracies on his CV. But such a laissez-faire attitude towards qualifications is supported by the wider society, with prominent individuals flaunting "PhDs" acquired from institutions with no accreditation, and becoming wealthy and even nationally recognised. That so many people accept this shows a counter-productive view of education, where the emphasis is on acquiring the "piece of paper", rather than the knowledge and skills which the paper is supposed to represent. This is the very definition of a Third World mentality. |

Western Expedition
For close to a decade, Anne and Stephen Mead, GRP Assistant Directors, have lived in various places out west. They fell in love with the southwestern part of Colorado, particularly the San Juan Mountains, and decided to settle in Silverton, Colorado. Soon after settling there, they began dreaming of an expedition experience that would bring campers to these amazing mountains. Dreams do come true and here it is: GRP's Western Expedition.
Based in the historic mining town of Silverton, Colorado (elevation 9,318'), the Western Expedition will start with a three day backpacking trip in a nearby high mesa. This will allow for the acclimatization process beginning at elevations of 5 to 7 thousand feet. Following this, campers will embark on a 10 to 14 day backpacking trip in the mighty San Juan Mountains. The expedition will conclude with a 2 to 3 day river trip on a river fed by these mountains. Similar to Blue Ridge Expeditions, campers will have direct input in route choice; a process we believe gives them ownership and training in the expedition experience. Due to elevation as well as topography, the western trip will be more strenuous than other expeditions. (To see a short video of the area visit this link and choose Episode 2.)
Designed for rising11th – 12th graders, the Western Expedition will provide an incredible opportunity for further development of outdoor skills. This expedition in conjunction with the new Trail Blazers Expedition completes a program that will feed GRP with great counselors and mentor for years to come.
Departure and Arrival for WXP will be Albuquerque, New Mexico Airport. Arrival is Thursday 6/20 from 12-4PM. Departure is Wednesday 7/10 from 10 AM to 2 PM.

The Blu Ray is another good move on their part. Sure, they will loose a bit of money on it to start with, but it's going to be coming out of the same plant that all their future Blu Ray players will be coming from (remember, this is a format they are pushing to replace regular DVDs). Sure, the GPU is going to cost them a bit as well, but with as much as they make in their own plants, the cost for building a PS3 is going to be nowhere near that of the 360, even with all its added goodies.

Final Bundesliga Matchday With Top Ratings On ARD, Sky; DTM Qualification Weak On ARD
Published May 20, 2013
SKY HIGH: QUOTENMETER's Grzeschik reported German pay-TV channel Sky "has also recorded top ratings for its Bundesliga simulcast" on Saturday afternoon. A total of 1.3 million viewers tuned in at 3:30pm to watch Sky's Bundesliga broadcast. The number translated into a 11.1% share. In the target demographic, Sky obtained an "unbelievably high" 16.4% share (QUOTENMETER, 5/19).
DTM: QUOTENMETER's Grzeschik wrote ARD received low ratings for its broadcast of the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) qualifying session on Saturday afternoon. The qualifying session from Brands Hatch, England, which started at 2:30pm, attracted 500,000 viewers and had a 4.8% market share. In the target demographic, the DTM had a 3.5% share (QUOTENMETER, 5/19).

NP Rank:
Former Yaletown highflyer now on U.S. drug charges
Rick Bafaro, said to be the mastermind in last April's Canada/USA drug smuggling fiasco in which Bafaro and four of his co smugglers were caught by US authourities.
Bafaro promised ten grand each to his drug mules prominent businessmen Chris Neary and Daryl Fontana, along with two unknown accomplices Carl Andrew Thiessen and Sinisa Gavric to smuggle 60 kilos of marijuana over the heavily watched smugglers trail high atop the snow covered Cascade mountain range which borders Canada and the United States.
While Chris Neary and Daryl Fontana, two of Bafaro's accomplices garnered the most media attention, being one of Vancouver's most recognizable and prominent businessmen, Rick Bafaro was just a name without a face in the media, much the same as the other accomplices Gavric and Thiessen.
Bafaro, once a prominent Vancouver Canucks hairdresser and NHL hopeful in the past, who it is said played with the Revelstoke Rockets in the 1980s has been involved in assorted business ventures and is described as a caring father by his ex wife and a free spirit, while it is said Bafaro is also a compassionate and caring person and wonderful father.
As the US trial by jury nears this summer for the accused, one wonders how Bafaro sits in the US jail, while his more prominent businessmen compadres are free on bail and back in Vancouver, BC until their trial also resumes this summer.
The whereabouts of Thiessen and Gavric also come to mind, as it is safely assumed they too are joined in jail with Bafaro, perhaps just not prominent enough to swing the same "Free pass out of jail" deal as Neary and Fontana.
Certainly an interesting turn of events as this story unfolds.

More than 160 Roman Catholic priests in the Milwaukee Archdiocese have signed copies of a letter calling on the church to allow married men to join the priesthood.
The letter, which the Rev. Joe Aufdermauer of Milwaukee mailed today to the leader of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, cited the shortage of priests as a central reason to make celibacy optional. The letter was described today in an article in The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
''The primary motive for our urging this change is our pastoral concern that the Catholic Church needs more candidates for the priesthood, so that the church's sacramental life might continue to flourish,'' the letter stated. ''We speak out at this time also because of the ever-growing appreciation of marriage and its many blessings so compatible with priesthood and even enhancing of priestly ministry.''
Father Aufdermauer, who is 61, said he did not expect that the Catholic Church would change the celibacy requirement during his lifetime. But he said the size of the support -- nearly 30 percent of diocesan priests in the Milwaukee area -- seemed certain to draw notice from church leaders, generate discussion and, perhaps, even create similar movements in other dioceses.

The Collapse Of The Stabilization Program And The Imperative Of Transition To A Mobilization Model: Retrospective
Detailed attempts have been made in the pages of >i>Rossiiskii ekonomicheskii zhurnal>/i> and in features of other publications>sup>1>/sup> to demonstrate that the government's Program of Economic and Financial Stabilization was not an anti-crisis program. Its basic purpose was reduced to the next increase in foreign borrowing, which was supposed to support the GKO-OFZ [state short-term bond-federal loan bond] pyramid by converting a portion of domestic short-term obligations into long-term foreign obligations, as well as to provide additional guarantees that a fixed exchange rate would be maintained to restrain foreign speculators in the market for Russian state bonds. The real point of the anti-crisis measures in the program was to offer financial speculators the opportunity to pull their capital out of the country with the planned superprofits, and without the risk of losses from a devaluation of the ruble. The International Monetary Fund [IMF] credit was sufficient to hold the exchange rate stable for only a month, and that time was used by foreign financial speculators to get out of the GKO pyramid before it collapsed.Download Info

Fact: Bluetooth headsets make you look like a tool — but we'll be damned if they're not useful. As far as usefulness goes, though, the Sennheiser VMX Office ($TBA) appears to be about as solid as can be. And with capabilities to connect to both your office phone and your cell, you can now look like a tool at work and on the go.
The Hulger Pappa Phone ($300) is a gorgeous solid walnut and brass USB handset that boasts plug-and-play compatibility with both Mac and PC, letting you chat in style over any VoIP service, including Skype, iChat, Vonage, and GoogleTalk. Since each one is handmade, it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to be delivered, but from the looks of it, it's well worth the wait.
If all you're craving in a mobile device is email (and lots of it), check out Peek ($100; Sept.). This slim, one-trick mobile device features a full QWERTY keyboard, a side scroll wheel for navigation, and will need a $20 a month subscription for unlimited emails on T-Mobile. Look for it to hit your local Target store next month. [Thanks, Horatio]
The Vtech IS6110 DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone ($95) is the first cordless landline phone system with instant messaging capability, letting you chat with your BFF's from the couch. The Treo-like phone works with AIM, MSN, and Windows Live, and features a full QWERTY keyboard and a large color LCD screen. Other features include a click-to-talk option for instant voice chats, memory for 50 phonebook entries, caller ID and call waiting, and storage of the last 50 calls.
Sometimes gift-giving comes naturally, and you instantly know what to get for each person on your shopping list. For the guy that's hard to shop for, there's the Warby Parker Gift Card. Available in denominations perfect for a pair of frames or two, it's the ideal gift when you just can't decide what to give. As a bonus, each gift card comes with a Make-a-Snowman Kit, featuring everything the recipient needs — carrot, buttons, faux coal — to dress up their yard in time for the holidays.
Shakespeare bust with hidden switch? Check. Red Batphone? Check. Young sidekick in weird tights? Uh, yeah, we'll think about that. In the meantime, this Commissioner Gordon-approved phone, just like the Caped Crusader's, lights up when a call comes in to your own Batcave.
If you're tired of waiting for your favorite bar or park to get Wi-Fi, do something about it and build a long-distance wireless network yourself. Using advanced mesh routing technology to increase range and network capacity, the Meraki Mini ($50) and Meraki Outdoor ($100) can extend your personal internet connection as far as you want, depending on how many of the repeaters you buy. Your connection can be shared with thousands of other laptop-toters for free, or kept private. If you're a wantrepreneur, you'll need to order the Pro Editons of the Meraki Mini ($150) and Meraki Outdoor ($200), which offer features for user management and billing.
Don't get us wrong — we really do like our iPhone Bluetooth Headsets, but they really can't compare to the Bang & Olufsen Earset 2 ($350). With specially designed vents and an advanced audio processor for more accurate voice reproduction, a protective carrying case that doubles as a charger, and automatic activation, the Earset 2 is best of the best when it comes to Bluetooth.
Belkin's sexy new N1 Vision Wireless Router ($200) has the brains to back up its beauty. The N1 features an interactive display that shows you the activity of your network, including download and upload speeds, bandwidth usage, and the number of connected devices. The router — compatible with IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11n draft 2.0, and 802.3ab specs — also offers plug-and-play, CD-less installation for easy network setup.
While many cordless phones worked great when they were purchased, they don't get along so well with their new, wireless counterparts. The Vtech 6032 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone ($60) solves this problem with its DECT technology, which uses new technologies for greater distance, clarity, and versatility — and it won't interfere with wireless networks and other electronics. Other features include a digital answering system, handset speakerphone, caller ID, call waiting, and a RAZR-esque keypad. [Thanks, Mark]
We've been waiting for something like this for a long time. Belkin's Wi-Fi Phone for Skype ($160) lets you make free calls to anyone using the Skype service — without being stuck in front of your computer. The phone connects to any free Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing you to access your Skype account and place free, unlimited domestic and international calls over the Internet to other Skype users. Low-cost calls can be made to regular phones worldwide. We've been playing with one for a couple weeks, and we'll never be without one again.
Never worry about dropping your home phone in the pool (or toilet) again with the Uniden WXI477 Waterproof Phone ($63). This 5.8GHz phone floats in water and is housed in submersible, waterproof plastic. A back-lit LCD provides on-screen data and the phone has a number of useful features including a 100-name phone book and call waiting/caller ID. Sealed buttons allow you to drunk dial without fear of frying your phone as you balance your beer can.
Remember the days of pay phones everywhere? Relive those glory times in your crib with this Crosley 1950s Style Pay Phone ($100). This reproduction of the classic 3-style slot pay phone will actually let you make calls for free, though for the fun of it you can deposit coins into the functional coin slot to store your change, coin bank style. There's also a tone/pulse switch and earpiece volume control.

Maritime Security Issues
IMO Raises Seafarer Issues with US
IMO Secretary-General Efthimios Mitropoulos and US Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge met at IMO Headquarters on Friday, 14 January 2005 to discuss maritime security issues of mutual concern. During the meeting, Mr. Ridge expressed appreciation to IMO and its Member States for the rapid and comprehensive international response to maritime security issues following the September 2001 attacks in the United States, including the adoption of the special measures to enhance maritime security which entered into force on 1 July 2004 as part of the SOLAS Convention. Mr. Mitropoulos referred to work carried out by IMO in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) on seafarer identification. He stressed the importance of treating seafarers as partners in the maritime security chain and highlighted the need for them to be able to take shore leave after working on board ships for long periods. Mr. Ridge drew attention to the need for authentification and verification of documents relating to individual seafarers and his concerns about fraudulent documentation. He stressed that the United States is looking for ways to move the process forward and said that he would share the Secretary-General's concerns with Washington agencies. The IMO Secretary-General welcomed the input of the United States and, in particular

Every season during New York Fashion Week you can be sure to find me awestruck over the conglomeration of international Fashionistos and Fashionistas who gather to view the collections of their favorite designers in one city. While I am in a separate city admiring the photos of Tommy Ton — guessing to which blogger or socialite the Alexander Wang shoes or Celine bag belong to — I can only begin to imagine what it would be like to be in the presence of such an eclectic mix of people who each has their own bold style. It is not often that you see Austinites with the personal style like that of bloggers such as Bryan Boy or fashion figures, like Anna Dello Russo, who wear bright colors and odd combinations. In fact, my only exposure to this type of fashion is only via photo blogs. However, when I saw this Fashionisto, I was immediately reminded of the rare fashions that are spotted in New York during fashion week.
Seldom do I see a Fashionisto who is audacious enough to wear a skirt, or better yet, a draped shirt. However this Fashionisto and Korean fashion design student has no limits to his entire ensemble and has taken the avant-garde route, a la Marc Jacobs in Comme des Garcons. His monochrome gray look is an alluring one — from his silky button-down to his ombre Raquel-Allegra-inspired mosquito net draped over his colorful hair, the entire look is anything but boring. To be sure, I would say that this Fashionisto is one of the few UT students who is daring enough to express his taste in fashion, and his eccentric choice in garments reflects this. Although it would be hard to recreate this look into your own. What I liked about this Fashionisto was that he didn't care what others thought — he pushes the limits and does not care about others' opinions, which I thought was noteworthy. His ASOS satchel is also fabulous and I would not have expected this Fashionisto to sport anything else. While we may not see other Fashionistos roaming the 40 acres in skirts, this particular Fashionisto receives the unique recognition of being spotted in one.
Personally, I am sometimes embarrassed to wear my flower crowns around campus because they are different, but this Fashionisto's bold look made me reanalyze my reflectance to wear them. Besides the sheer fact that every article of clothing and accessory that this Fashionisto wears is notable, his style makes you realize that you should not be hesitant to express your own personal style (as long as it has some fashion-forward element, of course). Just because New York Fashion Week is not here in Texas, that does not mean that the Fashionistos and Fashionistas cannot wear bold looks here at UT.
Hint: Debut a pair of colorful socks peeking under your jeans, wear a signature jacket that would set you apart from others or perhaps sport a particular accessory that embodies your personal style.

The Fuerteventura region
The semi-desert Island of Fuerteventura lies just under 100km off the coast of Africa (near the border of Morocco and Western Sahara). It enjoys a near-perfect climate with average monthly temperatures ranging from 17°C in January to 25°C in August.
Fuerteventura is the longest Island in the archipelago at 98km north to south and the second-largest Canary Island after Tenerife. The unforgiving barren and arid interior of the island shares much with it's African neighbours of Morroco and the Western Sahara including sparse rainfall, rocky-desert landscapes (the temperature of these rocks can reach 67°C on a hot day!) and simple flat-roofed white-washed villages.
Fuerteventura is perhaps most famous for it's beaches, with over 50km of stunning white and golden sand. Despite Tourism being a relatively recent phenomenon on the island, there is a well developed infrastructure with Golf Courses, a Zoo, a Water Park and numerous Marine Excursions. If you fancy something a bit more active, the Island offers great Surfing, Windsurfing and Kite Surfing as well as Big Game Fishing and Diving.
As resorts go in the Canary Islands, Corralejo to the north of Fuerteventura is one of the prettiest, especially around the harbour and just south at the beaches fronting the sublime sand dunes which form part of Corralejo Natural Park, a protected area. Although Corralejo is a bustling Fuerteventura holiday resort, the tourism here is not overwhelming and there's a chilled out vibe to this pretty resort. Corralejo's edge might be to do with the fact that it's not just a manmade resort - there's been a thriving fishing industry here for years, plus the pleasent harbour and old town bordering the harbour is a delightful area, crammed with arts and crafts stalls, specialist shops and friendly chic bars. With its own waterpark, the Atlantico Shopping centre (with disabled toilets) tidy promenade and stretch of beach along Avenida Grandes Playas, Corralejo combines good resort facilities with an attractive setting. A please all resort, with a nature park nearby, excellent surfing, diving and sailing and easy access to Lanzarote and Los Lobos Island via the harbour.
The Oasis Papagayo complex has a vaste area of 100.000m2, it is localed next to BAKU, from 800 m. to Corralejo beach and 2500 m. to natural park Las Dunas.
In its large gardens with native plants and flowers, immense pools, solarium areas and extras it has to offer here it its sure to make unforgettable holidays.

2007 Chevy Opel GT Makes a Grand Entrance
For those of you looking for an automotive fix today, Left Lane News brings us the scoop that General Motors will present the all-new 2007 Opel GT to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show (March 2 to 12, 2006). With exciting, sharply-cut lines, rear-wheel drive, and a potent four-cylinder turbo engine with gasoline direct injection, the new sports car "echoes the successful concept of the original GT, which was built between 1968 and 1973," the company says. The GT is based on the same platform as the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky. It also borrows heavily from the design of both cars. The original Opel GT owed much to the USA, as well. Its lines were inspired by a new American design style, the so-called "coke bottle shape", which also defined the Corvette Stingray.

"Breaking Bad" is all set to become the greatest show ever in the history, thanks to "Guinness World Records 2014." The Emmys is not happening until Sept. 22, but we think the verdict for the greatest show is out, and it is none other than "Breaking Bad."
"Breaking Bad" has been awarded as the world's highest-rated TV series. The show received a metascore of 99 out of 100 on MetaCritic.com. In the past, "Mad Men," "Sons of Anarchy" and "Downton Abbey" have made it in the "Guinness Book of World Records."
Ever since the pilot of the show hit the airwaves, fans have loved the show like true lovers and welcomed it with open arms. Fantastic reviews of the episodes have made this show a grand success. There are cult followers of "Breaking Bad" across the globe and it will be a proud moment for them to see the name of the show inked in the book.
"Breaking Bad" is currently midway through the second half of the final season.
"My writers and I discussed our ending for many months, maybe even years, and everything was on the table. The happiest of happy endings, the saddest of sad endings, the open ending; we discussed every possibility. All we cared about, though, was that it be satisfying, and in a sense satisfaction operates independently from ideas of happy and sad, it's removed from emotion," said Vince Gilligan in an interview with Metro.
"I can tell you for sure it is an ending though, we have not taken the Sopranos route [which infamously cut to black] here; it's a very exciting ride and these last eight episodes certainly do not go out with a whimper," added Gilligan as reported by Metro.
The show is slated to end on Sept. 29, though rumours suggest that a spin-off show is in the pipeline.
Justin Bieber will be in the record book once again as "Youngest Solo Artist to Have Five U.S. No. 1 Albums" namely, "My World 2.0," "Never Say Never: The Remixes," "Under the Mistletoe," "Believe," and "Believe Acoustic hit No. 1" as reported by Hollywood Reporter.
Taylor Swift for "First Solo Female with Two Million-Selling Weeks on the U.S. Albums Chart," "Speak Now" sold 1.04 million and "Red" sold 1.20 million copies.
"Most Twitter Followers for a Pop Group" as of May 16, 2013 goes to One Direction. The band has more than 14.6 million followers.
