This -- some brand new poll numbers now showing the recent scandals are in fact affecting americans' opinion of the Obama administration.
According to the Washington Post 56%.
Say they believe the IRS deliberately harassed Tea Party groups.
31% say it was just an administrative mistake.
Now say they think the Obama administration is trying to cover up facts and Ben Ghazi terror attack.
But President Obama -- approval rating has remained steady through all of this 51% say he's doing a positive job 44%.
Say negative.
Joseph Trippi is a former Howard Dean campaign manager Andy Fox News contributor.
-- explain that why does the president's approval ratings stay steady.
Won so many -- Americans disapprove.
Of the things his administration has been up to.
Well I -- I think part of it is he's he's still -- personal.
Like ability people really what the white -- always had that going form but more importantly John I think what's happening it's been going on for quite awhile is.
It's gotten so partisan out there that when -- any of these.
Things emerge people go to their corners and come out fighting -- OG UUU.
If you like Barack Obama.
And and you supported him for president then you don't listen to the other side and if you don't like him.
You believe.
Anything negative about -- and you don't listen any thing.
That his proponents have the -- and vice Versa if you don't like Republican Party you don't listen anything they say -- if you believe.
All the stuff that stuff about them and you don't you don't you you you believe that.
And so what's happened is in in these scandals people gone to their corners and come out the problem for Republicans is.
A majority of American voters voted for the president in just.
Last November and they're still hanging with them on his job approval.
And there are what 56%.
Who say that the IRS was deliberately trying.
To harass Tea Party members -- in Tea Party groups.
That's a problem is -- for a president whose motto might sort of be described as in government we trust.
Well I'd look I was on the first Democrats out there who do who just blasted what the IRS was doing I think bipartisan -- everybody agrees what they were doing was wrong.
The issue is did the president you know you can do something to there or order hitter was the White House involved -- that by the way that's where we'll get to to the -- that's what these hearings are about over time.
And get to what what caused this how do you fix it and who was responsible yet if this gets.
Right now I think Americans that do not believe that the president in the White House.
Were involved.
You did that could change as more facts come out there right now I think it is any of it turns out they -- and Republicans keep pressing.
-- try to take it there.
Did that people could believe the Republicans -- we're just going after the president and that could have ramifications in 2014.
But as the president tries to steer the country -- Or more and more government involvement in their daily lives including Obama -- I mean critics like.
Or or pundits like Chris -- -- Have pointed out that the overall theme their defense to many of these scandals.
Is essentially we're not malevolent we're just -- confident.
Well I mean it again -- that's one of those it's whenever that it could be malicious or just stupid let's fix stupid.
It -- and and I think there -- will look on all these things there was some level.
Just stupid I mean anybody who thought you could go target the Tea Party.
And in harass them or audit them specifically based on now word.
That was even if this was political calculation it was stupid malpractice political.
Calculation John so.
I there's a point there but -- again we're gonna have to see how the facts -- John one other thing I wanna point out though is over the last month.
You have the last couple months actually seen some pretty good economic numbers and one of them one of things I've been thinking about his.
As you -- unemployment goes down.
The deficit was lower than expected GDP's growing not great but it's growing.
Maybe people are feeling a little better about the economy -- that's holding the approval numbers up even.
While these negative scandal.
Situations are dragging you know should be dragging.
The administration down it's actually the economy that may be moving in the right direction finally foreign that's that's what helping hold them up right now.
Yeah after a long time of denying themselves you known some luxuries people are starting.
To buy a little bit of that is part of a film seems to be anyway thank you Joseph Trippi.

I-69 International Trade Corridor Partners Take Major Step Toward Next Michigan/Aerotropolis Designation
Governor's Approval Sends Application to Final Stage of the Process
FLINT TWP., MI - The I-69 International Trade Corridor partners from Genesee, Lapeer, St. Clair, and Shiawassee counties have taken the final step to become a Next Michigan Development Corporation (NMDC)/Aerotropolis designee. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder's recent approval of the Act 7 inter-local agreement moves the partners closer to the culmination of a year-long effort that began at the invitation of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC).
The application has now moved to the MEDC's Michigan Strategic Fund for approval of the designation.
Thirty-three municipalities in Genesee, Lapeer, St. Clair and Shiawassee counties signed on to the Inter-local agreement.
According to Tim Herman, CEO of the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce, the volume of support from communities across the I-69 corridor is impressive.
"This is a significant regional partnership that offers the opportunity for all of the partners to collaborate in new and different ways," said Herman. "Furthermore, the NMDC designation would allow the region to amplify our current efforts to reinvent Flint-Genesee County and grow the number of jobs and investment in our community."
David Hollister, former Lansing Mayor and Senior Vice President of Strategic Alliances for the Prima Civitas Foundation (PCF) concurs with Herman's perspective. He says the I-69 International Trade Corridor partnership takes regional collaboration to a new level. PCF, an East Lansing-based foundation focused on connecting the state's knowledge resources with public and private partners, plays a strategic advisory role with the partnership.
"I have worked on many collaborative efforts during my career, but never experienced this level of commitment among so many communities. It's unprecedented and truly historic," said Hollister.
The NMDC designation is expected to drive potential new business investment and jobs for the Flint-Genesee Region. And Bishop Airport will be center stage.
"When communities work together, it can only bring positive results for everyone and that's what's happening here...communities are pulling their resources together to move our region forward," said Jim Rice, Director of Bishop International Airport.
The NMDC will enable the I-69 Corridor to market the region's collective strengths to businesses that are engaged in international multi-modal commerce as an alternative to the congestion occurring at other border crossings, rail shipping/receiving yards and airports. In addition to Bishop Airport, key intermodal assets in the area include major freeways, the Blue Water Bridge, CSX and Canadian National rails, and several water ports.
"This is an exciting time for the Flint-Genesee region," said Janice Karcher, Vice President of Economic Development for the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce. "The communities that have signed on to participate in the NMDC see the opportunity to partner will benefit the regions' businesses and workers."
The Next Michigan Development Act allows for up to five NMDCs in the state to be granted by the Michigan Strategic Fund in cooperation with the MEDC. Currently, there are two designated regions.

My friends at the KC Slammers definitely deserve a few words here at the HUB.
I've known 'em all for years. My good friend (and, their's) the late Hall Of Famer/Modeler Elden Titus ALWAYS built models of the cars he was to fabricate and drive "in real life". And the Slammers carry on the tradition of putting together a Model Car Display & Contest at the yearly KKOA Lead Sled Spectacular in Salina, Kansas in Elden's honor.
These guys are a hardcore group of enthusiasts that love to build, enjoy, and show their Rods & Customs in small scale. And if you're in the KC Area and want to join-up with the Slammers, or, just check-out all they do for the furthering of the Model Hobby, find out lots more on their Official WebSite
Hey, I built 'em myself when I was in High School…wish I had some of those chopped, cool rides I glued together then, but somehow they "vanished" when I went off to College. Think my Mom probably gave them to some kids who were friends of the family. BUT, my chopped '56 Merc Phaeton 4-Dr.,'56 Ford Pickup, and, '56 Caddy were very cool…if I do say so myself !

Merging the worlds of power and style has never been achieved with such convincing precision. A specially engineered 240 section rear tyre combined with famous Ducati chassis technology serves up mind-blowing handling and lean angles which defy the laws of physics, whether carving through curves on your favourite road or just riding out for a night on the town. The latest ground-breaking Ducati is available in two versions: The brand new Diavel and the flagship Diavel Carbon with a character-forming mix of aesthetic and performance components from carbon fibre bodywork to forged and specially machined Marchesini wheels.
If the stance of a Streetfigher is that of "anger," the stance of the Diavel is that of readiness, dominance, and confidence bordering on superiority. With lateral radiators adding muscle to its broad "shoulders," which then taper down across the engine and into the belly-fairing with oil cooler, the athlete took shape. A massive 240 section rear tyre was a perfect example of how Diavel designers used a no-compromise attitude when applying their wish list of features. The sheer width of rubber communicates so much power and style that the R&D team vowed to find a way to make it handle - even if they knew the image would send a seismic shock through the industry. Ducati's philosophy for innovation has always been to push the boundaries of design in the name of exciting motorcycles. Sometimes "gut feelings" are what count, and having the strength to commit to them shows the kind of bravery that has guided Ducati to World Championships. The Diavel is a true Ducati, born from a passion for motorcycling and designed to deliver authentic Ducati performance in every respect.
Rider and passenger comfort The Diavel's twin-level seat is wide, comfortable and beautifully shaped to fit the flowing lines of the machine and at 770mm (30.3in), has one of the lowest seat heights in the Ducati range. That low seating position, in addition to a low slung chassis set-up that weighs in at just 210kg (463lb) - 207kg (456lb) for the Diavel Carbon - enables the rider to get both feet on the ground for a sure-footed and confident stance. The seat also comes with a beautifully shaped and easily removable single seat cover, which is formed in carbon fibre on the Diavel Carbon. Passengers on the Diavel will appreciate the way the slender passenger footpegs ingeniously fold down from the rear sub-frame as well as the innovative, T-bar shaped grab-rail assembly, which slides out from the rear of the seat. Deployed from a mechanism under the seat, the grab-rail provides a comfortable and confidence-inspiring grip for the passenger, while the shape perfectly blends into the lines of the tail-piece when retracted. Both passenger-friendly features are crafted in forged aluminium and shot-peened for strength and uniform finish before being black anodised to become almost invisible when folded away.
Lighting The Diavel uses two clear vertical strips of LED lighting to provide tail and brake light illumination as well as directional indicators. The strips follow the precise line of the under-seat panelling, providing great visibility of the rear-end while keeping the external lines of the bike clean. The front directional indicators are clear lens LED strips mounted vertically down the leading edge of the lateral radiator covers. The headlamp gives the Diavel immediate Ducati identity and is supported by an aluminium outer body. The light uses high and low beam double reflectors to illuminate the road ahead, in addition to incorporating a horizontal strip of LED positioning lights for optimum visibility.
Innovative number plate mount Employing the double strip of multi-functional LEDs for the rear lighting of the Diavel required an innovative solution for the mounting of the number plate. The unique design uses mounts on the rear hub of the singlesided swingarm to extend an elegant and Ducati signature Trellis framework around the 240 section rear tyre, enabling a central mounting of the plate. The framework carries a hidden power feed to dedicated LED illumination for the number plate, eliminating any reliance on the main rear lights and creating a clean feature around the rear of the seat. This design solution represents the first of its kind and an example of the incredible attention to the Diavel's detail.
Fuel tank and air Intakes The Diavel's 17l (4.5 gal US) fuel tank represents an integral part of the bike's overall styling. Its wide, long lines sweep down from the headlamp assembly into the seat and rear sub-frame to create a seamless profile. While the focal point of the tank is the high resolution display panel, the steel tank skin and wellsculpted knee panels add a solid feel to the Diavel and a high tech composite look to the Diavel Carbon. On each side of the front of the tank are massive air intakes formed in aluminium to feed the engine's large airbox. Their design is completely functional and contributes to the 162hp produced by the Diavel Testastretta 11° power plant.
Colours The Diavel comes in traditional Ducati red with red frame and black wheels or a sophisticated pearl white silk and metallic black scheme with black frame and black wheels. The Diavel Carbon comes in stunning "red carbon" (gloss red over matte carbon weave) with red frame or "black carbon" (both gloss and matte carbon weave) with black frame. Both Diavel Carbon schemes roll on black wheels, turned and milled to expose the natural aluminium below.
For an engine with brute power on tap when needed and smooth, user-friendliness available for an effortless and comfortable ride, Ducati revised the configuration of the cam timing with particular focus on the valve overlap angle. The overlap angle is defined as the interval of crankshaft rotation, measured in degrees, during which both the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time. This overlap occurs between the end of the exhaust stroke and the start of the intake stroke. High performance engines, which are subject to compromising smoothness for extreme power delivery, use high values of this parameter in order to benefit from the pressure waves to improve engine performance by maximising volumetric efficiency. On the Testastretta 11° engine, this angle has been reduced from 41°, used in the Testastretta Evoluzione engine which powers the 1198, to 11°. As a result, the fresh inlet charge flow is less compromised by the exiting exhaust gases, resulting in a much smoother combustion in addition to improved fuel economy and lower exhaust emissions. The massive 58mm (2.28in) section exhaust headers lead the 2-1-2 system through power-enhancing equal lengths that enable the Diavel's efficient power delivery. The engine management system dedicates a lambda probe to each header, providing precise fueling via a large airbox, while the stylish cannon-style, vertically stacked silencers carry catalytic converters to provide Euro 3 conformity and electronically controlled mid-section valve optimises exhaust pressures throughout the rev-range. Twin lateral radiators - positioned on either side of the bike - cool the Diavel Testastretta 11° engine. This unique feature combines with a new 64mm water pump impeller to increase flow rate by 35% at high rpm, enabling highly efficient cooling from the stylish air ducts.
The Diavel's gearbox uses high-strength materials to manage the increased power output and enhanced grip generated by the 240 section rear tyre, which also requires the use of a 16mm longer gearbox output shaft for drive chain routing. The transmission features an oil bath clutch with "slipper" function and super-light feel at the lever. Its design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism that presses the plates together when under drive from the engine, enabling the reduction of the clutch spring rates. This results in a much lighter clutch lever at the handlebar, ideal in stop-start traffic or during long journeys. When the drive force is reversed (over-run), the same mechanism reduces the pressure on the clutch plates, enabling them to provide a race-like "slipper" action, which reduces the destabilizing effect of the rear-end under aggressive down-shifting and provides a much smoother feeling when closing the throttle or down-shifting under normal riding conditions. The Diavel's clutch and alternator covers have been restyled with enhanced detail and shaping, as have the cam belt covers with a new aluminium mid-section.
24,000 kilometres (15,000 miles) between major services Constant investment in quality by design, advanced materials and engineering techniques have enabled the distance between major service intervals (valve clearance check) to be increased to a highly competitive 24,000 kilometres (15,000 miles). This has been achieved with the introduction of new valve seat materials, improved combustion efficiency and temperature management designed into the Testastretta 11° engine.
Suspension The Diavel uses black-bodied 50mm Marzocchi front forks. These forks are fully adjustable for spring preload, compression and rebound damping. The forks are gripped by a slash-cut triple-clamp - cast aluminium for the lower and forged for the upper - with a rubber-mounted riser to tapered alloy bars. With a rake of 28°, trail of 130mm (5.12in) and an offset of 24mm (0.945in), the set-up provides a sure-footed and agile front-end for incredible handling and 70° of total steering lock for maximum manoeuvrability. The Diavel Carbon uses the same suspension as the Diavel, but with fork sliders black-finished in super low-friction diamond-like carbon (DLC). Both versions of the Diavel have a Sachs rear suspension unit slung low under the chassis in a horizontal position, operated by a progressive pull-rod linkage from the swingarm. Adjustable in compression and rebound damping, the unit uses a handy control for easy spring pre-load adjustment.
Wheels and tyres The Diavel rolls on stunning, custom 14-spoke wheels with machine-finished detailing. The front rim is 3.5x17, while the rear, which is "flow-formed" for enhanced structure and lightness, boasts a massive 8x17 rim. The Diavel Carbon has custom shop-finished, lightweight, forged, turned and milled rims by Marchesini that not only score an impressive total weight saving of 5.5lb (2.5kg), but also look spectacular. These highly intricate nine-spoke wheels highlight the delicate machining in natural aluminium set against a black finish. Ducati's technical partner, Pirelli, worked with the Diavel's designers and engineers to develop the incredible new Diablo Rosso II tyres. While the front uses a conventional 120/70x17 section with a new tread pattern designed for enhanced wet weather performance, the 240/45x17 rear represents the latest innovation in tyre design with a sport-oriented profile being applied to custom-style width.
The massive rear employs bi-compound technology to enable high grip levels at full lean angle while providing high mileage and uses Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT) to maximise the contact patch at all angles. The tread pattern and compounds deliver great performance in all conditions, especially the wet. This new design of tyre enabled Ducati to achieve the style they had envisioned for the Diavel without compromising the authentic Ducati performance of the chassis. This partnership of parallel development between chassis and tyre design has contributed massively to Ducati "changing the rules" in this segment.
Braking system & ABS The Diavel front brakes use Brembo's incredibly powerful Monobloc callipers, which deliver outstanding performance actuated by new integral alloy master cylinders with unique shape reservoirs sporting milled tops. The 4-piston, twin radially-mounted callipers grip 320mm discs, while a single 265mm disc on the rear is gripped by a two piston calliper, also by Brembo. The Diavel Carbon uses specially milled aluminium disc carriers which have natural aluminium coloured recesses machined around the weight saving cut-outs in contrast to the carrier's black finish around the centre. Typical of Ducati, these top-of-the-range components provide outstanding levels of braking and set a new benchmark in this category. The system is equipped with the latest, most compact, Ducati Bosch-Brembo ABS system as original equipment on both versions, providing a major contribution towards performance control. Top Brembo components combined with Bosch ABS, the special Diavel chassis configuration and Pirelli's Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT) result in a braking performance even greater than that of the awesome Ducati Superbikes.
TECHNOLOGY Lateral radiators The technical solution employed for keeping the frontal lines of the Diavel clean was to place two highly efficient lateral radiators on both sides of the bike. These well-ducted units, located beneath the fuel tank, use aerodynamics to help draw air flow through the radiators and are assisted by high-flow electric fans when required. The design combines form and function to enhance the muscular shape of the bike.
Split-level instrumentation Even the Diavel's instrumentation is a masterpiece of cutting-edge technology. The upper LCD display is mounted on the bar-riser and provides main information such as speed and rpm, in addition to warning lights, time and temperature. The lower, full colour Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display is styled into the fuel tank and provides an incredibly clear account of current Riding Mode, gear selection and DTC setting as well as total mileage and trips. Used on mobile phones and computers, TFT technology is a variant of LCD and displays easy-to-read high resolution graphics. The Diavel's TFT display goes one step further by using the sensitivity of its surrounding light to decide upon black or white background colour. When stationary, the lower display also doubles as the latest user-friendly control panel to personalise DTC and RbW settings within each Riding Mode before saving._
Hands-free ignition The Diavel's ignition is actuated by an electronic key in the rider's pocket, which communicates with the motorcycle when within a distance of approximately 2 metres (6.5ft). The motorcycle recognises the dedicated key code and automatically enables the bike's systems. Pressing the key-on switch then activates all systems to "on" and the engine is ready to be started. The electronic key, which internally consists of a radio circuit, externally doubles as a mechanical flip-key, required to open the seat and fuel tank cap. When parking the motorcycle, an electronic lock can be actuated on the steering simply by applying full steeringlock and pressing the ignition-off button a second time.
Ride-by-Wire The Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system is an electronic interface between the Diavel's twistgrip and engine, which configures an ideal power response depending on the riding mode selected. The twistgrip no longer has a throttle cable connected directly to the throttle body butterflies, but instead delivers a signal to a control unit, which in turn operates the butterfly opening electronically. The RbW system uses three different mappings to regulate the power delivery: 162hp with a sports-type delivery, 162hp with a progressive delivery suitable for touring, and 100hp with progressive delivery for city use.
Riding Modes The Diavel incorporates the very latest in innovative Ducati technologies, including the recently introduced electronic Riding Modes. Selectable from the left-hand switchgear - even while riding - the choice of three pre-set modes are programmed to instantly change the character of the Diavel. The three modes are enabled by combining class-leading technologies such as Ride-by-Wire (RbW) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC). The RbW system administers different mappings to regulate power delivery by interpreting the rider's throttle input, while the world-beating DTC uses eight levels of system interaction to enhance control by reducing rear wheel-spin under heavy acceleration. Although each mode has pre-set values of RbW and DTC, each of these two elements can be finely adjusted within each of the three Riding Modes and saved to create a personalised riding experience.
Sport The Sport Riding Mode provides the Diavel rider with an adrenalin-fuelled 162hp ride and enables the rider to have full-on throttle response for maximum acceleration. Ensuring the full Testastretta 11° experience, the sport mode also lowers the DTC system intervention to level 3 for riders who prefer their performance a little closer to the traction limit.
Touring The Touring Riding Mode is also programmed to produce 162hp, however, with a smoother, more userfriendly power delivery. Rear end traction is enhanced by increasing DTC system intervention to level 4, specifically intended for an enjoyable and relaxing ride ideal for long distance and ensuring maximum comfort for both the rider and passenger.
Urban As riding on city streets can require more attention to the surroundings than to throttle inputs, the Urban Riding Mode instantly changes the Diavel to provide a manageable and confident ride. Power output is reduced to 100hp and DTC is further enhanced to level 5 to provide a higher system intervention during the most chaotic of stop-start traffic.
Ducati Traction Control The racing-derived Ducati Traction Control (DTC) is a highly intelligent system which acts as a filter between the rider's right hand and the rear tyre. Within milliseconds, DTC is able to detect and control rear wheelspin, considerably increasing the bike's active safety and performance. DTC is an integral part of the preprogrammed Riding Modes on the Ducati Diavel and enables riders to fully enjoy the power of the Testastretta 11° engine. The system offers eight levels of "sensitivity", each programmed with an amount of rear wheel-spin tolerance. These levels are in line with progressive levels of riding skills classified from one to eight. Level one is programmed to offer the least amount of interaction for sport-oriented riders, while level eight uses the most amount of interaction for complete confidence. DTC levels are factory pre-set in each of the three Riding Modes, but can be individually customised and saved to suit the rider by accessing the new user-friendly set-up menu. A "default"option is available to easily return all settings to factory pre-sets.

This will allow the concept which was delivered for the first time in the UK in rural communities across Dumfries and Galloway in October 2011, to be developed and strengthened across the region.
Part of a bigger transnational European community movement, the project is being delivered in a similar format in other countries across Europe including the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Austria, Finland and Ireland. The Steering Group have confirmed that the celebration will again take place the first weekend in October, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th October 2012.
Eight rural communities across Dumfries and Galloway are working with co-ordinators to develop their programme of activities to take part in this unique celebration of rural community life, which say over 150 events and activities delivered as part of last year's inaugural celebration.
Initial plans for the 2012 Day of the Region include dog training, promotion of community groups, arts and crafts have a go sessions, treasure hunts, cooking demonstrations, theatre productions, walks, talks, film shows, barbecue, pipe bands, sharing of local skills, fishing and community forest walks!

I love river cruising! I recently saw two new river cruises offered by another company and I sure wish GCT would consider these trips. The first was a French river cruise called "Chateaux, Rivers and Wine". It is an 8 day trip, on the river Garonne, starting and ending in the city of Bordeaux. The second is a 10 day trip in Portugal, on the Douro River, starting in Lisbon and ending in Porto. I would also like to see a Portugal land trip, but that's another topic!
..... and .... as I mentioned before ..... I would love a "South-of-France" Christmas cruise.

I too am interested in the Duoro river cruise, but even more in the Ukraine-Black Sea river cruise that was scheduled for this year, but had to be cancelled. Hope to see it for 2014!

I have also considered a cruise on the Duoro. I Googled "Duoro River Cruises" and found that there are a lot of opportunities. The most well-known (to me) company offering the cruise is Viking River Cruises, but there are many others. I am not yet seriously thinking about booking with one of these other companies, but Grand Circle Cruise Lines could really tempt me were they to offer a Duoro River cruise.
I was also just about ready to rebook the Classic Costa del Sol when they cancelled it.

I feel the same way. I'm on the Paris to Honfleur in July, and I just looked at the other French river cruise for next year, but it duplicates a lot of this. Same with Romance of the Rhine and Moselle. I've already seen most of those places. Since I'm not physically up to any of the others, I may have to rethink my traveling.
It's not that I would mind going back to places I've loved. After all, I've been to New Zealand four times, once for two months. It's just I enjoy the river cruises so much.

I'm with you Pauline.....I am not able to "keep up" with rigorous touring and river cruising is wonderful. I hope Grand Circle introduces some new cruises. I was also signed up for the Costa del Sol and it was cancelled.
Classic Costa del Sol was my first GCT trip. We took the third week extension and just poked around on our own. I'd go back in a minute!
Before we went to Torremolinos I met a lady on the Virtual Tourist forum. She and her husband, from Ontario, were going to overlap a week with our stay on the Costa del Sol. They had been going for a few weeks each winter for several years. They were staying at the Bajondillos and they booked their own arrangements directly with the hotel. We spent a bit of time conversing around the hotel, but they had their own friends from previous visits and we had our GCT friends, including the couple that we frequently travel with. My point is that independent stays on the Costa del Sol are possible, but, to my mind, would not be as comfortable or as convenient as the three weeks we had as members of the GCT crew, being watched over by Antonio.
When we were there, we met a lot of people who spent the winters there. Most were from states like Montana or Wyoming that have terrible winters. But I think if I were going to do that, I would want to rent an apartment, not stay in a hotel room with a stove that frightened me. We never cooked on it.
That third week, some people went back to Mija on the train or bus because it's so lovely and they felt they hadn't had long enough there. Some of us walked around Torremolinos, went up those stairs to the upper part of town. Had drinks and listened to music in the square. I walked down the other way where I found a supermercado and a launderette and a used bookstore run by a German lady.
It was just a great trip with a lot of time on the tours - Sevilla, Ronda, etc. Why did they discontinue it?
The "official" response was that they could not maintain the quality of the tour without "substantially" increasing the cost. The cancellation could not be blamed on a lack of popularity. We rode the bus and the train up and down the coast to visit some of the other towns. That was fun. Were the tour still available in it's previous configuration I would be more selective in which tours I would take and would spend more time touring independently. I skipped Sevilla the last time and I would make that trip the next time. But I've been to Tangiers, and I've been to Gibraltar, and I had more than a lifetime supply of Piccaso. I would go back to Rhonda, Mijas, and the Alhambra.
We spent the last two weeks of January and the first week of February 2009 in Torremolinos. We spent the last two weeks of January 2008 in Naples, Florida. Even including the transportation costs, we spent considerably more for the trip to Florida than for the trip to Spain.

What have you done to a Masterpiece story?
By kmcca5 from East Sussex , 28 Sep 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Danny Boyle and Hollywood have a lot to answer for after butchering Alex Garlands modern classic!
First off DiCaprio hams up the character of Richard. This I dont understand. He is great in so many films! "Basket Ball Diaries", "Whats eating Gilbert grape", "Gangs of New York" and the list goes on. I think it was just awful casting, as the whole point of the Richard's character was that he was a geek! Spotty, ginger geek! That had more chance of loosing his eyesight from shaking hands with the governor of love than pulling the love interest in the story. But give a story to Hollywood and watch them disfigure it almost as much as the moviemakers did to the beach in Thailand to make the film!
Its a shame, because there is so much potential there but it all fails to be delivered in this popcorn oh isnt Leo cute with his top off trash!
There is one redeeming feature in that Robert Carlyle puts in a sterling performance as Daffy. One to avoid if you have read the book or if you actually like good films!- Was this review helpful to you?

(69)Different but good- well worth a watch
By rachaelknight16 (108 reviews) from Derbyshire, England , 03 Sep 2012Loved this film; can't believe I left it so long before watching. It certainly was better than I expected and I'd recommend/ watch it again.
It starts with DiCaprio jet setting off on his own around the world & basically looking for something exciting. He meets a couple who join him in his search for a heavenly beach, after being told it exists by a scary/ mentalist Robert Carlyle. Why he wanted to visit anywhere Carlyle's character had been is beyond me, but he goes nonetheless.
DiCaprio's character begins as a hero; bagging himself a girlfriend, feeding the people with his shark catch, only for things to slowly start getting worse until he's an outcast. You follow him as he turns more and more insane, which is very humourous.
DiCaprio plays it great as you would expect, with excellent support from Swinton, possibly one of her first big films? You can see from the start she's going to be trouble.
Inspiring story to live for excitement/ new things/ new people, but just look before you leap.- Was this review helpful to you?

Give it credit, tis great
By a customer , 30 Aug 2011The stars partly reflect how good the book is but the film does it justice. It isn't often that a film captures the mood of a book so successfully but this did and it certainly deserves more than 3 stars overall. The depth of character development and insight into social structures and reactions is fantastic. Most definitely read the book, but watch the film too, they both deserve attention.- Was this review helpful to you?

File this under W for "WTF is going on here?" The other day on my way to Pastis for brunch I stumbled into Lena Dunham…milking a cow. In the middle of the Meatpacking District.
Despite what the neighborhood's name may imply, Meatpacking isn't for farm work, it's for clubs, It Girl outings and couture retailers. So imagine my shock when a bovine was thrown into the mix.
Apparently this was part of an interview she (Lena, not the cow) was doing for Fuse TV's "Billy On The Street" show and it doesn't make any sense to me either. But, let's give it a quirky caption nonetheless… Help me finish these sentences:
This cow is clearly thinking _________.
Next season on Girls, Hannah realizes that ______.
