On Thursday the mighty Defcon 5 will grace the stage of the famed New Haven rock club Cafe 9. Who are the Defcon 5 you ask? They are a garage/punk band who set the standard for everything to follow in the new millennium in New England. They are an in your face rock and roll band. they are bad ass. I recently talked to Live Mike the vocalist of The Defcon 5 and asked him some questions. Here are 7 of those questions:
DHR - Describe The Defcon 5.
LIVE MIKE - The Defcon Five is fun. That's how I want to describe it. That how I want people to perceive it. It's fun rock and roll. The four of us all kind of see eye to eye, in that rock and roll should make people want to shake their asses. Hopefully people want to do that when they hear our stuff.
Musically though, I'd call us rock punk, as apposed to punk rock. I guess bands like Cheap Trick and Kiss are as important to our sound as much as the Sex Pistols or Damned. All in all we're just a bunch of weirdos making fast loud, and catchy noise.
Our songs are about rock and roll stuff: driving, comic books making out with chicks, rocking, ass kicking, and rocking. No political nonsense.
DHR - You broke up in 2004. Reformed last summer. What has changed in the band since 2004?
LIVE MIKE - It's kinda funny. Not too much has changed. We sort of picked up where we left off. I still like all the silly garage and bubblegum and punk music I always have liked.We're all on the same page still musically. We're older...maybe a little wiser. But not much wiser. I think this time around we're better at playing more songs in less time.
DHR - What record has changed your life?
LIVE MIKE - A friend of mine got a cassette of Ramones Leave Home at a tag sale when we were maybe 12 or 13. He ended up giving it to me, and it was game over. As a kid I always like to listen to music. Whatever my older sisters were listening to at the time I suppose was cool with me. But, good god! That Ramones tape was my first step into truly loving music. Some people might have a hard time with this question, but for me, if hadn't gotten that tape back then, I'd be a different person.
DHR - Meat is Murder, or Rocket To Russia?
LIVE MIKE - Meat Rocket to Murder Russia! As much as i dig the Smiths, everything begins and ends with the Ramones. so...Rocket to Russia.
DHR - As an "in your face" rock 'n' roll front man who/what do you cite as your influences?
LIVE MIKE - Sex, basketball, garbage pail kids, fire crackers, brass knuckles, James Brown, and Freddy Mercury!
DHR - If you could join 1 local band for a day who would it be?
LIVE MIKE - Hmmmmm. I've joined the Black Noise Scam and The Hulls on occasion. So- mission accomplished.
DHR - What would your dream bands lineup be?
LIVE MIKE - Brett Rules on rhythm guitar, Sean Lewis on Bass, Moe Porne on drums, Screamin Jay Hawkins on vocals, Mike Nesmith on guitar and backing vocals, Jeff Lynn on keyboards and harmonies, The Bee Gees as backup singers, Morrissey on the tambourine, Tony Visconti as producer and Jeffry Thunders in the mosh pit!

We started off where we left off yesterday with the bluefins. We caught and released around 12 fish in the 20-30lb range. We left there and headed south to some boats that were reporting a scattered yellowfin bite. When we got there we hooked 7 big eyes at once and landed 4. All of these fish were in the 100 lb range. Plenty of meat! There were good catches of yellowfin from some of the boats in the fleet as well. Thanks, Huck

"All of us learned to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things." That quote is from former basketball coach Bobby Knight who is renowned for his disdain for sports reporters. Many website owners may agree, thinking that the look of the website and quality of the product will suffice. But, just as positive press helped Knight recruit talented players, article marketing can help you recruit quality traffic to your website. First, let's start by defining "quality traffic." While the exact definition will naturally differ depending on your type of website and products, there are a few terms that every site owner needs to know:
Bounce Rate - the percentage of times a person visits a web page and then leaves the site without visiting any other pages
Page Views Per Session - this is more in-depth and measures how many pages on the site the visitor views
Conversions - the visitors who turn into customers
Bounce rates will vary from one site to the next but, if the number is larger than 50 percent, your website is probably not drawing quality traffic. In the past, site owners have been told that any traffic is good but high bounce rates mean the visitors are not even staying on your site long enough to notice your products. Page views per session have an inverse relationship to bounce rates. While low bounce rates are a good sign, the higher the page views per session, the better. If your site has many interesting pages, users will spend more time clicking around your website. And when they buy a product, that is a conversion. Good conversion rates will also vary depending on the website but understand that most online businesses have conversion rates under one percent. Typically, this happens because website owners hire search engine optimization (SEO) companies who get paid for drawing traffic, regardless of whether the visitors turn into customers. So how do you generate quality traffic? As another author once put it, "Article marketing is vital to the success of your business in 2011 and beyond." The reason is, marketing your website through quality content and well-placed keywords will maximize your ability to draw users who have searched for those terms. These visitors are obviously interested in topics directly related to your website. And the more specific the search, the more likely the user is to be a potential buyer. Consider a hotel booking website. If the website draws 20,000 visitors who searched, "San Diego," those visitors may have been looking for images of San Diego beaches, the temperature or the San Diego Padres. Needless to say, they are probably not going to rent a hotel room. However, if the same site gets 10,000 visitors who searched, "affordable hotel rooms in San Diego," they are much more likely to book a hotel. The wonderful thing about article marketing is that it finds that coveted traffic while taking absolutely nothing away from the 20,000 users who searched, "San Diego." It's a win, win. So how does article marketing work? In the past, the preferred method for building traffic was to throw up a large quantity of low-quality content and draw traffic by the sheer mass of material. Google's New Panda Algorithm has changed all of that. "Content farms" that duplicate content with minor changes (spins) are now being treated as spam. The new Panda algorithm rewards websites with high-quality, original content by writers who understand search engines:
Keyword Density
Social Media Utilization
Keyword density is the most important factor in article marketing. Depending on the search term, the optimal density can range from half-a-percent to four percent of the entire text of the article. It sounds simple but it takes a good amount of research to figure out what relevant terms are trending and how to word your title.
Social media utilization is also important because Panda is able to differentiate quality links from "spammy" links. Basically, if people are purposefully sharing your article, Google will reward your page with a high rating.
This piece was just an introduction to the benefits of article marketing. Please click the links throughout the text and read more in-depth. But, if you still agree with Mr. Knight that "all of us learned to write in the second grade," keep this more recent quote in mind:
"And I would be the first to admit... indulging my own sense of humor at press conferences has not been greatly to my benefit."
Maybe he was a fan of quality writing after all.

No, let's not keep this series running. Killing off Lily was incredibly bad writing. Good fiction allows the viewer to "willingly suspend disbelief," to buy into the storyline and to care about the characters. The sudden killing off of a major character, with no foreshadowing, ended my willing suspension of disbelief. There was no plot device or purpose in wasting the Lily character; all it did was make us aware that the writers never read "Hero With a Thousand Faces" and are ignorant of the essential elements of myth. Rotten plot, stupid story twist. I won't be back.
I was depressed all week. This is the 1st I've even talked about it. Very upset about Lily. They shouldn't have taken away our romance. I'll miss Lily. But, the west was brutal and with time I will heal. I will watch season 3. why?
Cullen Bohannon ofcourse.
Giving up on the show, too. No reason to kill off Lily. Extremely disappointed. I wish it would have been Hannah.
My husband and I watched both episodes. However, never when eating (indigestion) or before going to sleep (nightmares). I'm not sure if my husband wants to watch Episode 3. I am so disappointed that Lily Bell is gone and in such a horrible, brutal way. I'm finished. I'm going back to reading Zane Grey westerns.
Still disappointed in the finale but did anyone else think that the "annabel" song from the love scene would have been a much better fit in the finale closing as lily was being carried away?
Well, that was interesting, and for me that pretty much closes things out. Needless to say, if they have a third season, I won't be watching.
I hated the ending !! I hope they bring back Ms. McElligott aka Lily & that she has a twin sister... We want shows that have a hero who saves the damsel in distress for a reason- to give us relief from reality. Damn you writers who have no soul....
Thankyou sds - my thoughts exactly. Been thinking about it for a few days and decided I just wanted to say that the murder of Lily was possibly the most vile, graphic, disturbing, gut-wrenching and totally unnecessary scene I can remember. For sure and certain I'll never re-watch this show and will not be watching another season -if there is one. Good shows can be watched again a year or so down the track. Hell on Wheels is not one of those. Why did the writers have to screw it up so badly - and in such a sickening way?
What gave me knots in my stomach was the gruesome way they killed Lily. The pleading, the kicking of her feet, and the swede's gentle whispering to her as he took her life. Not sure I can watch season three after that.
Great drama, just made my blood cold.
I too am surprised that Mrs. Lily Bell was killed off. It wasn'y very original thought..does anyone remember a similar scene from "Inglorious Bastards"? The blooming romance was so sweet for such an intense series. Top much grit that even Lily and her manipulative ways seemed like"good" versus evil. Remember she had the former foreman killed for murdering a whore and she found her way into Durant's bed (ewwww) when Cullen left the first time. She could have spoken her feelings to him before he left. All she had to do was touch him and he melted like butter. OMG, that scene drove me nuts!!!! I am gonna miss her, she was a real role model to the series. And now Cullen has to go without for another season. That's the most messed up of all. Come on writers, find him a true love so he can get on with the building of the railroad without too much more hassle. Maybe he can get with his sister-in-law or someone from back home in Meriden (ie: a deja vu from Deadwood, maybe). They did mention he was married into a wealthy family from Virginia (or wherever). Or he can find a Sioux woman to fall in love with or start up with someone from the Chinese invasion (isn't that a part of this history too?) And yes, I will be back next season if only to see if Cullen shaves or bathes. I'll take either one.

New tree found on Mount Stuart
01 May 2012 , 1:57 PM by Paula Tapiolas
After two years of observations, a couple of botany enthusiasts have uncovered a new species of tree on Townsville's Mount Stuart.
John Elliott discovered the plant two years ago, and went through the complicated process of having it identified.
It will be named Backhousia tetraptera. Tetra, from the Greek , meaning "four", and ptera, referring to the wings on the fruit (as in Pterodactyl)
ABC Open guest blogger Keith Townsend has documented the story.
Listen to Keith speaking to Paula Tapiolas.

It was great week. Finally had a Gold Unlimited final after a 3 year break . Strega wins gold again. Bear pulled out with a 1/2 lap to go giving 2nd place to Deptember Fury an third goes to Dreadnaught after Precious Metal had to mayday due to a gear door coming open.
Weather was perfect all week. Attendance was down a bit it seemed but it was still well attended. The memorial on Sunday had me in tears. Didn't get to see Marilyn and Ruby. Sorry Dasher!!
Next year is 50th anniversary so it should be special. I'm still in Reno so will post pics later.

This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Feb 14, 2006. Cash return to shareholders: The Company continued its share repurchase program in 2005, repurchasing 2.3 million shares at an average price of CHF 129.1, in total $251 million. A
total dividend of $207 million was paid on 22 July in the form of a nominal value reduction. Total cash returned to shareholders since the start of the program in May 2004 through dividends and share repurchase amounts to $743 million. In
view of the ongoing strength of financial performance, it is the intention of the Company to pursue a progressive cash return policy.
For 2005 a dividend of CHF 3.30 per share, to be paid by way of a nominal par value reduction, will be submitted for shareholder approval at the AGM on 19 April 2006 together with a request to cancel the shares repurchased in 2005. In addition, the Company will, on 22 February, grant a free put option per share with an initial intrinsic value of CHF 1.50. The put option gives each shareholder the right to sell a fixed number of shares to the Company. Each put option has a maturity of three months from grant and will be tradeable on the SWX Swiss exchange; the exercise of all options will result in the Company being committed to repurchase approximately 3.3 million shares in 2006. SYNGENTA FULL YEAR RESULTS 2005 / PAGE 3 OF 30
Michael Pragnell, Chief Executive Officer, said: 2005 marked the fifth anniversary of Syngenta and during the year we further reinforced our leadership position with share gains in Crop Protection, expansion in Field Crop seeds and progress in our consumer-led businesses of Vegetables seeds and Professional Products. Looking ahead, the strength of the business and our exciting pipeline products enable us to plan additional expenditure in marketing and product development and, for the three years through 2008, target double digit growth in earnings per share*. In addition the ongoing strength of our financial performance enables us to pursue our program of progressive cash return to shareholders whilst investing in future growth.
For a definition of constant exchange rates, see Appendix A.
This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Jul 28, 2005. Cash return to shareholders: The company continued its share repurchase program in the first half of 2005, repurchasing 2 million shares at an average price of CHF 128.4
amounting to $216 million; a total dividend of $209 million was paid on 22 July in the form of a nominal value reduction. The total amount returned to shareholders since the start of the program in May 2004 through dividends and share repurchase is
$710 million. The 1.7 million shares repurchased in 2004 were cancelled on 22 July.
Michael Pragnell, Chief Executive Officer, said: Determined execution of our strategy by our sales and marketing teams worldwide will enable us to sustain Syngentas strong performance. For the full year 2005, notwithstanding a slowing in Brazil, we remain committed to our target of high teens growth in earnings per share*. Looking further ahead, the numerous opportunities to capture growth across all our businesses, including new product launches, reinforce our confidence in the achievement of our target of high teens earnings growth in 2006. We remain on track to return more than $1 billion to shareholders over the period 2004 to 2006. * Fully diluted, before restructuring, impairment, IFRS 3 adjustment and one-off tax credit in 2004.

Imagine cruising along the beach and being able to spot which bars your friends are in and what people have to say about the restaurants and shops you pass. Geolocation — technology that allows you to receive information on your smart phone based on where you are — is helping people do just that.
Susan Dominus wrote in the New York Times this week that, as she rode the subway, New York was full of "impenetrable-looking brick buildings" and the city's stories "sealed off, remote." But with her iPhone's geolocation software, the city "suddenly had voice, personality, opinion. Notes started pouring in, bite-size songs of praise about people and places in neighborhoods I was whizzing by."

Like the rest of the 2011 11-speed groups, on Record you can opt for a dual or single pivot brake at the rear and you also get the new lighter shoes and longer pads in a new compound. Weight is 278 grams per pair, down 8g.
For Record in 2011, there will be some weight reduction across the board to make up a total of 75g saved but as ever with Campagnolo it's all about the overall performance and, ultimately, durability. They've promised much with the 'Revolution 11' improvements to shifting especially at the front so we're looking forward to trying it.
At just under 2,000 grams, the new Record groupset saves overall around 75g on its 2009 predecessor. This is mostly due to redesigned hollow unidirectional-carbon-fibre cranks and and a fettled bottom bracket but there are further 10-gram savings here and there.
As usual, Record and Super Record will continue to share the same existing chain but with the Super set's cassette sporting the six larger sprockets in titanium whereas Record does with three. Ratios available are the now-standard 11-23, 11-25, 12-25, 12-27 and 12-29.
Campagnolo 2011 Record Chainset ● 683 grams down 16g ● New eXtreme Performance Shift System (XPSS) chainrings that feature eight chain upshift zones and two for downshifts.
Campagnolo 2011 Record Ergopower Ultra Shift levers ● 337g down 11g ● New composite body with revised cable routing ● Insert available for larger hands ● Hoods available in black, white or red with matching cables ● Note two holes in the carbon-fibre brake lever for Record, three for Super Record.
Campagnolo 2011 Record Rear Derailleur ● 172 grams down 7g ● New carbon-fibre parallelogram ● Ceramic jockey wheel bearings.
Campagnolo 2011 Record Front Derailleur ● 74g for braze-on ● Ultra-shift carbon-fibre outer cage with Z-shape inner cage.

We're expecting our second child in December. Our last name is two syllables and starts with M. Our son is Thomas Murray. We both loved Thomas and Murray is a family name. A girl's name is turning out to be very hard for us. We definitely both gravitate towards traditional, solid, and 'old' names with a history, with no desire to create a 'new' and unique name while avoiding known trendy names. I love Emily, but husband strongly dislikes. He likes Maria, Marie, Mary, or Margaret. I vehemently object due to the last name (M). Our currently list includes Anne, Anna, Audrey, Claire, and Katherine. I can't help but feel that we're choosing from a list that we're both ok with, but not ones that either of us love. Likely middle names are Marie (I'll let it in as a middle), Kathryn/Katherine, and Anne.
So, any ideas we're obviously missing?
Well, so Emily is out, and so are names starting with M. Amelia comes to mind because it's similar to Emily but maybe different enough that he'll like it, and it's traditional/solid/old. Or might you like Emeline? It starts out similar to Emily but has a completely different sound.
Oh! Oh oh oh! How about Ruth? At the pool this summer there was a toddler named Ruth, and I could NOT BELIEVE how cute that name was on a wee girl. Her mom also sometimes called her Ruthie. How about Ruth Katherine M.?
You've got Claire on your list, which makes me think of Clara. Clara Marie M.
For old and traditional with history, it would be hard to beat the name Eve. Eve Katherine M.
More possibilities:
Name update 12-02-2009! Stephanie writes:
I loved reading your suggestions and those of the commenters. Ultimately, we stuck with our list and Audrey Kathryn was born in the wee hours of Friday morning, Nov 27. We decided you were all right and that speculating on the popularity of a name we liked was silly :) Kathryn is my middle name, so our son has his Dad's middle name and our daughter has mine. Incidentally, she just missed sharing a birthday with me as well, by 3 hours.

Restructuring California's Adult Education System
December 5, 2012
A century and a half after the founding of adult education in the state, we find that the system faces a number of major problems and challenges, including: (1) an overly broad mission; (2) lack of clear delineations between adult education and collegiate coursework at community colleges; (3) inconsistent and conflicting state-level policies; (4) widespread lack of coordination among providers; and (5) limited student data, which impairs the public's ability to hold the system accountable for performance. Given adult education's numerous and significant challenges, we believe the system is in need of comprehensive restructuring. This report lays out a vision and roadmap for a more efficient and effective system. Our package of recommendations includes: (1) a state-subsidized system focused on adult education's core mission; (2) common, statewide definitions that clearly differentiate between adult education and collegiate education; (3) a common set of policies for faculty and students at adult schools and community colleges; (4) a dedicated stream of funding that creates incentives for cooperation among providers, with new adult education funds allocated based on regional needs; and (5) an integrated data system that tracks student outcomes and helps the public hold providers accountable for results.

When it comes to soccer I usually root strongest for U.S, then Ireland then against England.
Not this world cup.
Today I'm rooting for Uruguay.
Yes I can hardly spell the name and know very little except they won the first World Cup.
But they are playing the hated French today and anyone who beats the French is alright with me.
Les Cheats are in the World Cup because of the most blatant professional foul in the history of sport.
If FIFA had any cojones, they would be watching this World Cup from the Folies Bergere after Thierry Henry deliberately handled the ball in the Irish goalmouth and set up a fraudulent score.
The French barely apologized but if they progress in this World Cup they will give soccer a bad name for ever.
The Beautiful Game, which came alive again today after the first match between Mexico and South Africa, deserves better.
So don't Allez France, say no to frog football-- even if they are playing England.
Go Urugway

Absolutely! These very articles seem to contravene the rules of the site.
Having said that, I want France to go out and will be supporting whoever they play. However, my feelings are pretty "tongue in cheek".
I would guess that the Irish will generally support the teams that have players from Manchester United or Liverpool in. Otherwise, the team that provides the best entertainment.

Oh for goodness sake. GET OVER IT. These childish responses to the handball condemns any supposed football fan who displayes them. Then we also get the tiresome Anyone-but-England garbage. I was pleased to see that all three pundits on the RTE coverage yesterday afternoon -- Dunphy, Giles, Souness -- said they would be quite happy to see England. win. Grow up!

Absolutely. And the journo. supports US, then Ireland, then "against England". Racist bigotry. The majority of the Irish support English soccer teams! And the majority of the Irish are decent, rational people who don't harbour grudges. My English friends holiday regularly in Ireland and are welcomed there as friends and neighbours - the true Irish are bigger and better than this.

A totally silly article. No genuine football fan holds these childish grudges. There are reasons to favor whoever is playing France, but childish petulance about a bad refereeing decision is not one of them. And by the way, our correspondent is obviously ignorant of the rules of the game--you can't disown a goal that the ref has allowed. And blame FIFA if you think there should have been a replay.

What are the best fat removal treatments?
Without doubt, eating a healthy diet well and exercising regularly is the healthiest option to lose weight.
Yet many women give up because the results take too long.
Those who have a difficult time with natural methods often turn to medical treatments…
Liposuction has thus become a popular choice for people who want to get rid of large amounts of fat quickly.
Traditional liposuction procedures can take up to several hours to perform and you need days or even weeks to recover, not to mention the thousands that it will cost you.
The good news is… there are plenty of alternatives.
To help you choose what's best for you, I've compiled various techniques and alternatives that are less invasive than traditional liposuction, yet are just as effective to remove stubborn fat, tighten, and tone those problem areas once and for all!
Popular Less-Invasive Liposuction Techniques
These alternative forms of liposuction require less time in the operating room and a shorter recovery and downtime:
Technique #1 – Tumescent liposuction technique
Invented and developed in 1985, tumescent liposuction technique is a popular alternative that involves injecting large volumes of very dilute local anesthetic and capillary constrictor into the areas to be suctioned.
Technique #2 – Super wet liposuction technique
The super wet liposuction technique requires injecting a greater amount of solution — about the same volume of the fats that are expected to be eliminated.
Technique #3 – Vaser ultrasonic liposuction
This technique is truly one of a kind as it can be applied in any area of the body. It is also clinically proven to enhance skin retraction and reduce blood loss — a common concern in traditional liposuction.
Technique #4 – Water jet assisted liposuction
This procedure is currently among the most common types of liposuction procedures used today by cosmetic surgeons.
The water jet assisted liposuction is said to feature a more precise and gentler method of removing fat from one's body.
Technique #5 – LipoTherme liposuction technique
LipoTherme utilizes a 980 nm wavelength to emulsify fat deposits underneath the patient's skin.
LipoTherme has built up credibility as being one of the more proven liposuction techniques of today.
Popular Non-Invasive Liposuction Alternatives
Despite the availability of less-invasive forms of liposuction, there are still many people who don't want to undergo a surgical procedure.
This is why non-invasive liposuction alternatives are fast becoming a popular fat removal treatment.
Here are some liposuction alternatives you can do from home:
Alternative #1 – Supplementary pills and creams
Fat-burning creams can be combined with your workouts to enhance cellulite removal.
Safe diet pills may also speed up the fat burning process, and can also assist in reducing your appetite. Other medications may also interfere with the absorption of fats.
Alternative #2 – Natural Sculpting System
The Natural Sculpting System is a cloth spa treatment used at home. It was developed from a two-year study on homeopathic and herbal remedies.
The system consists of a lotion and gel that is applied using a special non-woven cloth. When applied, skin becomes softer, and cellulite, wrinkles and stretch marks also effectively disappear…
Helping you spot target stubborn areas like your abs, back, legs, arms, chin and more.
While neither of these alternatives are an overnight miracle product, the best part is that they are home treatments that don't require time off work or other recovery downtime.
If you're looking for the results of liposuction without the pain or high cost, learn more about an effective home treatment to spot-reduce stubborn areas of fat on your body.
About the Author:
Suzanne Costa was about to pay for liposuction surgery with a credit card back in 2005 out of pure desperation when she was introduced to a unique liposuction alternative product that changed her life.
Not only did she get real liposuction results; she was so impressed that she made it her life's purpose to track down the manufacturer of these products with the sole purpose of introducing them to other people who feel that liposuction is their only choice to spot target abs, back, legs, arms, chin and more.
Over the past 7+ years Suzanne has coached hundreds of people from around the world to lose inches of fat, cellulite and more with the Natural Sculpting System spa product line.

Posted: October 8, 2010
A buzz has emerged this week in the locker room and on the range at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons, Ga., home of the PGA Tour's inaugural McGladrey Classic, thanks to the return of the plain white golf ball boxes.To tour players, that means only one thing: New product from the #1 ball in golf. And not just any new product, either. Meet the next generation Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls.
After many prototypes and months of successful R&D testing with PGA Tour players, the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x seeding process began in earnest on Monday as players arrived at Sea Island to find Titleist Golf Ball R&D fitting experts Fordie Pitts and Jeff Beyers armed with white boxes and ready to conduct on-course evaluations with many of the world's best golfers.
This is a critical step in the golf ball fitting process as it allows tour players to compare the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x to the golf ball they currently put in play. While walking the course with the players and observing them hit multiple shots with each of the golf balls, Pitts and Beyers are able to help fit the players with the golf ball best suited for their game. Team Titleist tagged along on Tuesday with Pitts and Beyers as they walked the fairways and greens with Titleist Brand Ambassadors Troy Matteson and Bo Van Pelt, and golf ball loyalists Charlie Wi and Dean Wilson, among others. There was a lot of great discussion between the players and our experts as the on-course session included in-depth reviews of the features and benefits as the players put the new golf balls through their paces.
Stay tuned for more information about the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls as the Fall Series continues on the PGA Tour, and the new product gets seeded on the professional tours around the world.

Hope everyone that uses the new balls score in the red!

I 'm curious to see if the dimple pattern has changed. I think the penta has the best dimple pattern for aerodynamics, and the ProV1/V1x has a better cover for feel, if a tad less durable.
PDayton wrote on October 9, 2010 at 1:35AM
If these are the ones I tried a couple months ago, they are longer than the current ProV1 but do not spin as much. My guess was that they were ProV1x's that were went to me for R&D. I hit one drive that scared me it went so far, but like I said, did not spin as much as the current ProV1...I am a 6 hdcp.

I'm sure these are the same balls I tested for R&D last month. These balls are the best from Titleist thus far. They are longer with the driver and fly STRAIGHT!!! (less spin) yet they are just as soft and spin just like the original ProV1's on the greens. Can't wait to get more... I gave one to a friend, my son lost his, and I'm still playing with the last one. They hold up better than the original. You guys are gonna love them !!!

Click on Order button or book cover to purchase "Dr. Crabb not only gives us a clear mandate to celebrate Christian freedom, he also is our accompanist and exemplar on the Way of Freedom. You know he has walked that way with you. A remarkably personal message." -James Houston "This book makes a very important statement about how to live the Christian life. It takes the Christian beyond the obstacles and disappointments and above all, beyond the age-old enemy of self straight into the arms of grace. Once there, the pressure is off. A real worthwhile read." -Frank Retief "At last we have a book that confronts contemporary Christian culture with its increasing tendency to be taken up with blessings more than the Blesser. I doubt whether anything Larry has ever written, or may write in the future, we will contribute more powerfully to the needs of modern day Christians than The Pressure's Off." -Selwyn Hughes "Many of us have been following Larry Crabb's work for year, benefiting not only from his insights, but also from Larry's honest chronicling of his own personal journey of growth. Hes latest book, SoulTalk, takes us to a depth of caring and connecton that lie beneath program and technique. With all the recent talk (needed talk) about authentic community and spiritual friendship and formation, SoulTalk can help people get beyond words to expriencing what transforming connection in community is all about." --Brian McLaren |

Savage New Territory: Trickle Down TyrannyBy Larrey Anderson
In the "Acknowledgments" at the end of his new book Trickle Down Tyranny, Michael Savage states that this book is his "most seminal work." Since "seminal" means, "strongly influencing later events," Savage is offering a prediction about -- not a description of -- the book. He probably will be proven right. Trickle Down Tyranny breaks new political ground for the reader and for the writer. "Seminal" is also a term used in botany -- a field that Doctor Savage knows inside and out. In its botanical usage "seminal" means something that is related or derived from a plant's seed. In Trickle Down Tyranny, Savage is breaking fresh ground and planting original seeds. This is new Savage Territory. In old Savage territory (e.g., The Savage Nation and The Enemy Within) the writing was populist. The problems addressed were abstract. The villains were numerous -- and sometimes obscure ("Republicans" and "Democrats"). Not any more. In his immediately preceding book, Trickle Up Poverty, Savage had been refining his writing style and honing his political.... (Read Full Article)

Global and Local Data Sources
PyCharm distinguishes between Global and Local data sources.
- Global data sources are available in all projects in your workspace.
- Local data sources are available in one specific project only.
Types of Data Sources
PyCharm supports data sources of the following types:
- DB data sources, which correspond to the existing databases the application you are developing will interact with.
- DDL data sources, which represent the necessary data structures and act as stub databases, the databases without any data. For this data source type you should have one or more DDL files (SQL file type) representing the required data structures available in your project directory (or one of its subdirectories). Also note that a particular SQL dialect should be set for all those files (or the directories containing those files).
DB data sources can be both global and local; DDL data sources can be configured only at the project level.
PyCharm establishes a database connection between a data source and the corresponding database automatically, the first time it needs to execute a query. A database connection is displayed in the Database tool window as a node below the data source via which it is established, and is marked with the icon.
PyCharm closes a connection automatically upon the session termination; alternatively, you can close a database connection manually ( Close Connection in the context menu of a connection (DeleteDeleteDeleteDeleteDelete or Ctrl+DDeleteDeleteDeleteDelete or BackspaceDeleteDelete or Backspace)).
Access to Data Sources
Access to data sources is supported through a variety of PyCharm features and components:
- Support for SQL, which includes syntax and error highlighting, code completion, selection of words and statements, parameter lookup, and refactoring (Introduce constant, for instance).
- The ability to use source files with injected SQL code, with different SQL dialects, configurable at the project, directory, or file level.
- Dedicated Database tool window, where you can configure data sources.
- Database console.
- Configuring DDL data sources based on data structure definition (DDL) files, integration between the data source structure and the corresponding DDL statements in the definition file.
- Generating DDL statements based on the structures of a data source.
- Configuring database management scripts as external tools and running them from within PyCharm.
- The ability to download archives and libraries with driver classes right from PyCharm.

Remove Images Cloud Nine Cafe Cloud Nine Cafe brings culinary divinity to Upcountry July 05, 2007 Chef/Osner Scotty Ophoto:Pietro Ortiz. Grilled Miso Chicken plate and Hibachi Salmon An Indonesian breakfast dish called Nasagorang and the "Maui Sunrise" papaya I'm typically not particularly picky when it comes to food. I have kids, so some of my snacks consist of leftover Mac & Cheese, hot-dogs and random noodles in ketchup. Except Vienna sausage. I draw the line at the little wieners. I just can't do it. A few weeks ago, I discovered Cloud Nine Cafe in Makawao. This place is turning me into a picky eater. It's outdoors right next door to Komoda Bakery (a major staple in my diet) and across the street from Rodeo General Store (which has a great selection of beer and wine) so you could say that it's in the perfect location. Not only does Cloud Nine serve up amazing delicacies at fast-food prices, it has great ambiance. It kind of puts the $7 extra-value meal consumed while downshifting to shame. The cafe is pretty much a genius idea. It resembles a gigantic glorified covered street vendor cart. Ordering my food there always makes me feel hip—lots of polished stainless steel, fresh baked goods, latte's and a full breakfast and lunch menu. They have a few tables where you can eat your food in the crisp Makawao breeze and are working on getting the space for a bunch more. My favorite lunch-time meal from Cloud Nine has to be the Kalua Pig Po' Boy, with some homemade soup and a Yoga Berry smoothie. Cloud Nine transforms kalua pig from something you eat at graduation parties into something the Food Network really needs to highlight. Its soft, succulent meat, with just enough smokey flavor to make your eyes roll up in ecstasy, is piled on a ciabatta roll that is one part soft and one part chewy (totally perfect) with Asian slaw. The concoction is topped with Lavender Poha Berry dijonaise and a little Hoisin sesame sauce. I'm going into withdrawals just talking about it. I've tried the lentil soup du jour—and let me tell you, it's more like a meal than a soup. Slow-cooked and chock full of tender, simmered vegetables and massive amounts of flavor. The Yoga Berry Smoothie makes you feel healthy and happy. It's blended with bananas, mixed berries, organic apple juice, organic yogurt and honey. Technically, a smoothie alone should be enough to fulfill a normal person. Their menu is extensive. For breakfast I think I'm going to try the Mediterranean Quiche, or maybe the Indonesian Fried Rice. On second thought, I'll try both. On my list for lunch is the Grilled Miso Beer Chicken (how yummy does that sound?) and Mongolian Baby Back Ribs. As a side note, business partners Scott Olival and Jahlel Hunter are just as yummy as their dishes. Just thought that you should know that. Admit it, good food is always better when served by a smokin' chef. MTW |

White Smoke?
I am a new member to this forum. I recently purchased a 2002 F350 crew cab. I just got white smoke when I start the vehicle and when I start to drive it it goes away. Seems to only be when I do a cold start on it. Any ideas what could be the matter with it?

Hey RedRover
White smoke on a cold start is generally acceptable and normal in most cases. It depends on how much white smoke you're seeing. Is it a cloud that fogs up the driveway and lingers or white smoke that dissipates a few feet away from the truck? Your glow plugs could be fowled, you may have a sticking injector or (more commonly) you need a new glow plug relay. When fuel is dumped into a cold cylinder and it's not receiving complete combustion during compression, by the time it's expelled out of the exhaust, it will be white (some will also have seen some black mixed with the white on initial start). Feel free to use the "Google Custom Search" located in the website toolbar. Many of these threads are commonly posted and equally answered |
It has been a cloud that kind of lingers I guess. I just know that when I drive it it goes away. But if I idle it will start smoking again. But it only happens when its not warmed up. Once it is warm it will not smoke. |
Mine was glow plugs bad and glow plug relay I spent $90 for them to tell me got them both at orally auto parts for under $150 took six hours to change not knowing what I was doing good you tube video on it just type in 7.3 glow plug install. All white smoke is gone truck starts awesome
Mine doesn't have trouble starting. But like I said it has white smoke till it is warm then no white smoke. I guess I will start with the glow plugs and then go from there. |
It's because it's a diesel. It's normal man. Wait til summer when things warm up. Can almost gaurantee that when the weather's warm, it will not do this.
It is my first diesel so I am new to this. Thanks man. I just don't want it to have an huge expensive problem. You know what I mean. So you are telling me to wait and see how all of this plays out?
It's your glow plugs it's $80 y mask a problem and say there isn't one Until one day you go to start your truck and it's too cold and it won't start.on top of that to me it's kinda embarrassing pumping a full cloud of smoke when not in the throttle. Go to orally buy only motorcraft did research most of rest are junk some are fine but y risk it. If you have some type of mechanical skills you should be able to do it
White Smoke?
^^ Because there might not be a problem. That's why. There's usually other indicators when glow plugs are going out, i.e. rough starts. All that being said, you can have brand new glow plugs and still have white smoke at start up. If his glow plugs were indeed bad, chances are his starts would be rough, just like how your truck was starting. So why waste money and 'fix' something when there's nothing wrong?
Sent from AutoGuide.com App |
White smoke indicates the fuel is not being heated to the right temp. If glow plugs were working it would be black not white. That's why when the cylinders heat up it clears. If there wasn't a problem then he would be in here asking to fix it.
What temp is it outside if its above 45 degrees your truck should start no matter what. What region are you in? |

Very sad thing this happened but "Justice for Trayvon"? Come on now!
There was a trial, so what part of the facts does some here and around the country not want to acknowledge? This is not fair to GZ.
The title is offensive. It should read something like "Tears for Trayvon".
Sharpton I know doesnt speak for all African Americans. Ive heard it myself. Many black leaders are far from his view. Guess a guy has to make a living even if it doesnt pass the smell test. .
If the Trayvon supporters want to cast blame cast it on the Florida legislature!

After a crazy night of seemingly every Cub getting traded, the Rangers nabbed back up catcher Geovany Soto.
The Rangers haven't been thrilled with the work of backup catcher Yorvit Torrealba this season. Soto has not hit as well as Torrealba this season but he's better defensively.
Torrealba – .236/.302/.643 in 49 games
Ge. Soto – .195/.278/.345 in 51 games
Soto is four-and-a-half years younger than Torrealba, and he's under club control through next season, while both Napoli and Torrealba are eligible for free agency after this season. It looks like Yorvit Torrealba will be designated for assignment or maybe even traded.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are sending right-handed starting pitcher Jacob Brigham to the Cubs. Brigham is 24 and was pitching this season for the Frisco Roughriders [5-5, 4.28 ERA]. He doesn't rank high among the Rangers' prospects due to control issues, but he's got a big arm and might be successful as a reliever.

Beer me - MLB announce they are going to look into Red Sox club-house drinking

Well thank God for that. MLB has finally announced an official investigation into the dramatic revelations that certain Boston Red Sox players were drinking actual alcohol in the clubhouse during the 2011 season. Thank goodness, we can all sleep just that tiny bit better at night. Put down the hot-line to the president, call off the dogs, MLB has this all under control.
Joe Torre, beefy, dreamy head of the little known, semi secret MLB office of International Intrigue, Espionage and Dramatic Story-Lines had this to say on the subject:
"It's something we're concerned about, just to make sure that we get all the facts and that's my area, I know I have plans just to talk to some people.''So Joe Torre's 'area' is to get all the facts on grown men drinking alcoholic beverages in a closed clubhouse in the late innings of games they aren't playing in? One can only hope that Torre is amply supplied with assistants, business jets, iPads, Blackberries and other gadgets, as he fights the good fight, keeping us safe from drinking adults. We can only assume it is a tough task, you can picture Torre sitting in his war-room/bat-cave, hunkered down over multiple screens reviewing thousands upon thousands of hours of footage of Red Sox games, trying to catch a glimpse of a Red Sox pitcher, sitting on the bench with their hood up vagrant style, sipping from a bottle of Peach Schnapps wrapped in a paper bag.
Imagine the moment of pure professional joy, nay, release, as Torre finds that one glimpse, that one frame where Beckett or whoever gets caught sitting there in the dugout, huddled behind the hulking frame of John lackey, drinking from a bottle of whatever alcohol took his fancy that day. Torre would no doubt reach for the red phone to his left, a hot-line, if you will, and while never taking his eyes from the dramatic evidence on screen, whisper Batman like into the phone, 'We've got them!' or some other glib, momentary, asinine George Bush like catch phrase.
Torre goes on to enlighten us that:
"If we do happen to bar alcohol from the clubhouses, you have to understand the intent of this thing and what it looks like,''Naturally Torre is spot on. We all have to understand this thing, this, phenomenon. The fat guy in the sleeveless Metallica t-shirt sitting at a Marlins game, drunk off his head on fifteen cups of Coors Lite really, really cares, from a special place deep down inside his heart, whether Clay Bucholz or Jon Lester had a quiet beer in the Red Sox clubhouse way back whenever.
The overlord man at the helm that Torre reports into, Bud Selig, is also following this as close as white on rice.
"You never like to hear that. I'm very image-conscious about the sport and that's a great, proud franchise. I'm sorry for those stories because they're not helpful. But I also have great confidence that the Red Sox will get this cleaned up quickly.''
No word so from Das Fuhrer as to whether the other eleven teams that allow alcohol in the clubhouse will be cleaning up their act too. Perhaps that will come in a future communiqué
The Boston Globe ran a fancy little picture a few weeks ago of the clubs that allow drinking in the clubhouse and those that, you know, don't. Let's re-post it as an aid to Bud Selig in his crusade to eliminate alcohol from ballparks, well, not from ballparks, but from non paying customers in ballparks.
Everyone else can continue to get sloshed to their hearts content

Yeah, and the Rangers and Cardinals are putting on a pretty good show. I, like many, am sick to death of the big rivalry between Boston and NY. Been there, done that. Enough. Dour and mysterious, but the "famous teams" are sitting home. FYI, Nicomin, the Cardinals are one of the "famous teams." Look it up, casual viewer.

Actually Fox and ESPN got to Selig and Torre and said we won't stand for these rotten TV ratings for playoff and WS games, and you need to do all you can to get the famous teams into them. The Cardinals are dour, and the Rangers are still a bit of a mystery to much of the casual viewers.

« New York Times op-ed praises Hezbollah |
Blog Home Page
| Buried treasure »
July 26, 2006 Kofi's snap judgmentOn what possible basis can Annan make this snap assertion? The Secretary General is now claiming that the unfortunate killing of UN personnel by the Israeli Defense Forces during its maneuvers against Hezbollah terrorists were the result of "deliberate" targeting. He has called for an inquiry into what he called Israel's "apparently deliberate targeting " of the UN observer force. In the fog of war accidents inevitably happen and that Israel has already deeply apologized for this accident. Hezbollah has a tactic of locating its forces near UNIFIL and other UN outposts (as well as civilian outposts) to discourage Israeli attacks, since Israel, unlike Hezbollhah, tries to spare the lives of innocents. Annan seems more exercised by this accident than the truly deliberate kidnapping and killing of Israeli soldiers and the indiscriminate mass rocket attacks Israel is being forced to endure because the UN was pusillanimous in refusing to enforce its resolutions regarding terror forces in Southern Lebanon. Annan, as the world's chief diplomat, is charged with the responsibility of good judgment and temperate, well—considered remarks. He seems to have a penchant for violating this obligation when it comes to issues involving Israel. He also was quick to claim a few weeks ago that Israeli shelling caused the deaths of Palestinians on a Gaza beach. He made that claim immediately after the event. Subsequent events, of course, proved him wrong. Annan does not seem capable of learning from his own mistakes. After all, his own failures led to the Rwandan genocide but that did not motivate him to act to stop the later genocide in Yugoslavia or the current one in Sudan or the anticipated one in the state of Israel. Incidentally, the UNIFIL French commander who is backing up Annan was guilty of trying to hide UNIFIL incompetence or complicity involving the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers. Ed Lasky 7 26 06 |

We are far enough to have nice private beaches right out your door or you can walk to town 15-20 minutes or so and hit nearby restaurants or main beaches. The Caribe side of the island is ideal for snorkeling in the summer and on calm days all year because of it's many caves and reef formations.

Designed by an interior designer and a writer, Magi Azul's emphasis is on creating an atmosphere for relaxation and contemplation. The Balinese patio pool area is designed to be a sunny private retreat from the wind. The rooftop palapa pavilion offers the ultimate in ocean views and vistas.

This was our 2nd time to spend a week on Isla. We were 3 couples so the house was a perfect fit. Everyone loved the house, pool and privacy. We had stayed at another house a couple of years ago which was nice, but after staying at Magi Azul, my friends don't want to stay anywhere else. Armin & his wife were very nice and the house was cleaned thoroughly. We love the central location of the house as well. We rented golf carts for the week so we could come & go at anytime. Only took a few minutes to go into Centro, the new grocery store, etc. Everything I've read on the other reviews is true so I won't repeat it all. Looking forward to planning another trip to Isla & staying at Magi Azul.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My partner and I stayed at the beach house for 4 nights. It was recommended to us by a friend who stayed there earlier in the year. It was absolutely amazing. The photos do not do the place justice. We had such a great time, were able to cook dinner (they have all utensils needed) have a drink up on the rooftop and laze around in the plunge pool. It's the perfect place to relax. Can't wait to return to Magi Azul and we can't recommend it highly enough!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My husband and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary at Magi Azul. The house is a dream for the open air, sea-loving couple that we are. Here you can go to sleep and wake up with the sight and sounds of the ocean waves right outside of your window! The view is breathtaking!! This home is built as close to the ocean as is legally allowed. My dream come true!! The Terrazzo suite is huge and offers grand views of the Caribbean. There is plenty of storage for your personal belongings and clothing. The bed is lovely with luxury linens and so comfortable. This main level Master is huge. The detail throughout the house is amazing. The Balinese style pool off of the living room is unbelievable and offered a private place for a refreshing dip anytime of the day or night. There's just something about walking into your home and seeing that pool there! Stan and Sherry thought of everything when they built this home! It is extremely clean and well maintained. The kitchen is wonderful and so fun with large upscale commercial appliances and cooking/preparation area. We had tons of fun shopping for fresh ingredients to make guacamole. My husband loves to cook so he prepared omelets, scrambled eggs, and magnificent Mexican coffee most days for breakfast! Make sure you visit the Mango Café at least once for breakfast...delicious!! We felt very secure knowing that Armin was just a phone call away if we needed anything. We had in-room massages one night with the symphony of the ocean as our playlist. Phenomenal. It is just a short drive to town(el centro), where you have your choice of a great variety of restaurants and outdoor cafes and shopping as well as the beach of course...which by the way, is in your backyard ;). (This beach is extremely private. We only saw a few local children walk by once and we were there a week). You can easily catch a cab right outside the front door. We had the time of our lives, rented a golf cart, (Mopeds next time cause they're faster lol!) enjoyed the sweet local people, did some snorkeling, and went swimming with the whale sharks. Our whale shark excursion was fabulous!!! We felt incredibly safe here at the house as well as anywhere we went on the Island. With all that the Island has to offer, we found ourselves saying, "we could just stay here at the house and be perfectly content!!" This home is perfect, we recommend it highly and cannot wait to come back. This is definitely our "go to" choice for a lovely vacation!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We spent a lovely week at Magi Azul and can't say enough good things about it. The owners were more than helpful in setting up our reservation - as well as transportation to the ferry both to and from the airport. The house is beautiful - the bedrooms are all large, the beds are comfortable, the pool is spectacular and the kitchen is amazing. The house staff keeps the place immaculate and they are friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have. The rooftop decks allow you views of the entire island - but you have to be very careful as railings are minimal (Having 3 small children with us we were extra careful!) It was wonderful watching the frigate birds and pelicans fly by us at eye level while we were up there. While I saw other reviewers complain about the pool temperature - we found it to be perfectly fine - especially during the heat of the day. You can hear traffic from the house - but between the pool fountains and the ocean waves the traffic just blends into the background and wasn't a concern. The beach out front is very pretty but rocky and the water is rough. No worries - North Beach is just a few minutes away for better swimming and taxis are easy to come by if you choose. I would suggest that if you are traveling with small children you might want to bring a baby monitor with you. Two of the three bedrooms are upstairs via an outside staircase. We were uncomfortable staying in the master suite downstairs while our kids were upstairs as we were afraid we wouldn't hear them. Had I asked more questions of the owner beforehand we would have planned accordingly. Also - the house is most definitely open to the outside. At sunset the geckos appear on the living room ceiling to eat bugs. My kids loved it and the geckos are completely harmless - but if you are squeamish, beware. (We never saw them during the day!) This is our 2nd trip to Isla Mujeres and I already cannot wait to come back. We have yet to have a bad meal anywhere on the island. The vibe is very laid back and the beaches are stunning. Would I stay Magi Azul again? Most definitely!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

Casa MagiAzul is situated in a perfect place on the island of Isla Mujeres. The ocean is just yards away from the house and affords plenty of privacy and quiet. Every detail in the house has been thoughtfully executed - from the chandeliers to the perfect white sheets to the magnificent pool. We were greeted cheerfully upon our arrival by the caretakers who continued to maintain the space keeping it spotless and at the same time being mindful of our privacy. We were able to walk to the markets when we chose to take advantage of the wonderful kitchen or, comfortably walk to restaurants. We have been to Isla Mujeres and Tulum several times previously, but we most fondly appreciated our visit to Magi Azul - it afforded us everything we wanted from an island vacation and we look forward to returning in the future!

Photos cannot convey the true beauty and incredible ocean-front setting of this home. The tasteful old world finishes create a stunning atmosphere and we were especially grateful for the very comfortable beds. We went to sleep to the sound of the ocean every night.....heaven! I don't think any one bedroom is better than the other in this home as they all have terrific ocean views. The outdoor livingroom by the Maharani and Loft Suites was a nice quiet spot to sit and check email and the rooftop patio was another great place to sit in the evening to enjoy panoramic vistas. Overall we had a fantastic time and could not have been happier with Magiazul and the caretakers. Thank you, Sherry, for allowing us to create lasting holiday memories in your gorgeous home! Cheers!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

The house is beautifully done, both architecturally and decoratively. Very functional and easy to use. Spectacular view from every floor and every bedroom. Just far enough from town to ensure privacy and quietness, but close enough to walk if you want. The kitchen is better than any i have ever seen in Mexico. Incredible refrigerator/freezer, great commercial grade stove, all tastefully done. Pots, pans and all the utensils you could need. Every room is self contained with fridge and microwave, security safe and very rooms. In fact, the bedrooms are huge. If you want to sit on your bed, or on your patio and watch the stars and moon over the Caribbean, this is the place. Hammocks under the palapa roof on the top floor are wonderful. The pool's lighting and waterfall effect create the perfect atmosphere in the open living room. Owners were easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. This place is both comfortable and luxurious at the same time. The maid service was impeccable and what we saw on the internet was what we got............and then some.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, families with young children, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you Scott for the lovely review. Come back and see us for whale shark season!

Everything about Magi Azul is amazing! I know that seems like an overstatement but wait until you see it. The exotic design and furnishings make for an elegant and decadent experience. We stayed in the Terrazza room and I have to admit that one night we came home early because I wanted to cozy up in the dreamy bed. The sound and view of the ocean, the fantastic location close to town but far away enough to create a peaceful environment and the low profile from the street are just a few of the bonuses. The owners are great to deal with as is Armin who checks in to make sure everything is going smoothly. We looked around while we were on the island and there really is nothing better! Stay here every time!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Isla Mujeres Mexico is one of my favorite places to vacation and my favorite gem on the island is Magi Azul Beach house! This place is well appointed with all the comforts of home plus an amazing view of the ocean just steps from the house. The open air design brings the outside in and lets you enjoy the carribean waters and allows the breeze to flow to every part of the house. Stan and Sherry truly put their unique design style and hearts into Magi Azul and have successfully created a one of a kind, relaxing retreat! Every part of our stay here was spectacular, Armin and Mariana took care of our every need! I cannot wait to return to Magi Azul, my happy place on Isla Mujeres!Did you find this review helpful?

This home is truly one of the most beautiful homes on Isla Mujeres and dare I say the entire Mayan Riviera! As you walk into the open court yard, you step into another world. A world that allows you to forget all the cares of life! Everything in this tropical oasis is done with perfection! With a view of the Caribbean that never ends, you will never grow tired of relaxing on one of the many verandas and listening to the sound of the sea as the waves crash against the shore. This place is a must for anyone who wants to visit the exquisite Mayan Riviera.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: Magi Azul is our third home on Isla Mujeres, We painstakingly designed and built her with relaxation and ambiance in mind. I wanted something earthy and romantic yet with all the luxuries of modern-day living. I am happy to share the fruits of our labors with all we are blessed to serve.
Why the Owner Chose Isla Mujeres:
If you have an artistic eye and appreciate design, you will enjoy Magi Azul. It is designed to utilize the natural ocean breezes. Even during the hottest months of the year, Magi Azul is surprisingly refreshing. Our location is perfect - directly beach front and close enough to town to walk if you like, but far enough out to feel like you are away from the bustle of downtown.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Private Balinese style pool and gourmet kitchen with restaurant grade appliances. A rooftop hammock pavilion with panoramic views of the island.

You should say you're wrong.
Today, I was wrong.
I was sent out on a Short of Breath run with a Basic who I've worked with before. Several times, in fact.
I was nervous. I'm new. I'm supposed to be nervous, right? All of these runs get my heart racing. That being said, I know this particular partner. I've known him for a few years. I'd trust him with my kids.
And today, I took my own nervousness and the fact that I'm not the most confident Brand Spankin' New Medic out there… On him.
And that's just not cool.
I was wrong. I'm saying I was wrong.
"D"… Again, I'm sorry. Thank you for pumping me up while my hands shook. You will be a fantastic Intermediate/Specialist!
