Destination Development Best Practices Mission Winter in the Interlake |
By Travel Manitoba | April 21 2011 (0 Comments) |
As a follow up to their participation in the June 2010 Destination Development Best Practices Mission, Interlake Tourism conducted a two-day mobile workshop on February 8 and 9 to provide inspiration and training on building winter product throughout the region. The adventure was designed to help industry members discover the hidden gems within the region, foster partnerships and work toward creating unique tourism experiences. Beginning at the Six Pines Ranch, just outside of Winnipeg, the group travelled to Country Harvest Inn in Broad Valley for a delicious home cooked lunch and to learn about the Inn. The group then moved onto the Bernier farm north of Fisher Branch to experience a horse drawn sleigh ride and nature trip on the old rail bed. Along the way, Dr. Heather Hinam, of Second Nature – Adventures in Discovery, educated the group on the plants and wildlife of the area. After seeing the murals in Eriksdale, the group arrived at the Narrows West Lodge, where they were taken on a night owl nature walk. While no owls were heard at the time, the many stars in the sky offered an opportunity for a lesson in constellations. The next morning the group was led by Travel Manitoba staff through possibilities for developing an outdoor winter destination in the Interlake, barriers to success and potential partnerships. |

The Ark Archipelago - Itinerary A
Try these priate pickup lines on Buccaneer Cove:
'I must be huntin' treasure, cause i'm diggin your chest.'
'Arrrrrrrrrrr you free Friday?'
'That be the finest pirate booty I've ever seen.'
(Was Complete Galapagos)
Day 1 - Quito
Explore Quito, the capital of Ecuador and the highest capital city in the world with a judicial building (bear with us). La Paz, in Bolivia, is the actual highest capital city in the world, but it doesn't have a judicial building. We think someone, somewhere was extremely bored when they gave Quito that title.
- If arriving early, perhaps spend time getting acquainted with Quito
- Evening pre-departure meeting at approx 6pm (details will be at the hotel Reception.
- If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).
Day 2 - Baltra - Las Bachas
Visit Las Bachas beach and see loads of eggs. The eggs belong to the sea turtles, so don't touch them. Sea turtles may be slow, but they're hard as nails. Literally.
- Fly from Quito to Baltra, in the Galapagos Islands-
- Please note the pick-up time will usually be as early as 4am as Quito airport is a one hour drive and we must allow for delays and check-in times (Your Tour leader will confirm this time with you at the pre-departure meeting on day one
- Board the M.Y Pelikano and set sail for Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the Galapagos
- Visit Las Bachas beach - a major egg-laying site for sea turtles
- Spot marine iguanas ashore and pink flamingos are commonly seen in the lagoon.
- Sight remnants of a floating pier - a testimony to U.S. presence in the Galapagos during World War II
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 3 - Genovesa
Sail north and arrive at Genovesa Island, an awesome spot for spotting red footed boobies. Dramatic cliffs rise steeply from the sea around this collapsed volcanic island. Say that last sentence in a David Attenborough voice and it's even more interesting.
- Sail overnight to reach Genovesa, the archipelagos northeast outpost
- Spot dolphins in the surrounding waters
- View all three kinds of boobies on the island, including the rare red-footed booby; and numerous other species
- Walk Prince Philip's Steps and arrive in the heart of the seabird rookeries, with birds overhead and nesting among the cliffs
- Look out for storm petrels; Genovesa is the only place in the world where they can be seen on the wing during daytime
- See large breeding colonies of seabirds and frigates at Darwin Bay
- Go snorkelling and perhaps encounter manta rays, sharks, turtles, moray eels and many different fish
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 4 - Isla Santiago & Cerro Dragón

- With a guide, walk across a 100-year old lava flow, where iguanas and Sally Lightfoot Crabs crawl
- Enjoy the view back across to Bartolome

- Perhaps spot Darwin's finches, Galapagos mockingbirds, the endemic Galapagos flycatcher and yellow warblers
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 5 - Santa Cruz - Charles Darwin Research Station

- Perhaps have a close-up encounter with a giant tortoise
- See loads of newborn and young giant turtles, thanks to the research station's breeding program
- Take a bus to the Santa Cruz highlands, visit the largest lava tunnels in the Galapagos and perhaps spot wild a wild Galapagos tortoise
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 6 - Isabela
Isabela is a pretty name for an island, which is fitting, because this is a really pretty place. If you think that sounds lame then we can't be friends anymore. Seriously.
Please note there's a US$20 fee paid upon arrival.
- Visit Isabela, the archipelagos' largest island
- View the blue lagoons and rocky terrain at Punta Moreno,
- Enjoy the backdrop of 3 active volcanoes, flamingos and lava formations
- Stop by Elizabeth Bay and perhaps spot rays, turtles, sea lions, penguins and Sally Lightfoot Crabs
Breakfast | Lunch | DinnerDay 7 - Fernandina - Punta Espinoza and Bahia Urbina
Walk among the lava cactus on Fernandina. No, it's not cactus made out of lava, and it doesn't spout lava. It colonises and grows on lava fields, which is pretty intense. Have you ever tried to colonise a lava field? Didn't think so. Respect where respect is due.
- Travel to Fernandina Island, the youngest of the Galapagos Islands
- Walk on lava and see lava cactus, marine iguanas and flightless cormorants at Punta Espinosa
- Spot the colourful land iguanas and giant tortoises at Bahia Urbina back on Isabela

Buccaneer Cove is a real-life pirate hangout. Well, it was during the 18th and 19th century at least. They used to anchor in the bay (a good hiding spot) and repair their ships and head ashore to fetch salt, tortoises, fresh water and firewood. Yeah, they used to eat tortoises.

- Cruise back to Baltra and bid farewell to the Galapagos before a return flight to Quito
BreakfastDay 10 - Quito

The Fear Experience's head honchos of horror populate two professionally designed haunted houses with gruesome ghouls and nightmarish set pieces. The corridors of each haunted mansion showcase terrors such as a blood-thirsty butcher, an evil orphanage for fiendish children, and a creepy carnival where demented clowns startle visitors with their disturbingly baggy pants. After disposing of their doctors, criminally insane patients await patrons in the asylum, where the no-goodniks lurk behind every corner to ensure that nobody exits unafraid. All-night passes allow customers to brave the brutality of each attraction as frequently as they desire. VIP privileges permit entrants to circumvent frighteningly long lines for their first visit to each house, and the passes also enter guests in an after-hours limbo contest against spineless ghosts.
Since 1985, Trolley Tours of Cleveland has shuttled more than one million riders around the city aboard its fleet of open-air, bright-red trolleys. Winding along an approximately 20-mile route, the city tour showcases some of Cleveland's most iconic sights, including the Victorian homes of Ohio City, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and downtown, where an eclectic mix of modern and historic architecture stretches skyward to amaze passersby and to high-five low-orbiting superheroes. Personable, professionally trained guides accompany the nationally known tour with Cleveland-centered facts and stories.
Aside from untangling urban avenues with informational junkets, Trolley Tours of Cleveland also makes its wheels available for conventions, weddings, and more, enabling businessmen and bridesmaids alike to avoid having to hitch rides on vigorously tossed bridal bouquets.
For more than 75 years, the Lacomini family has graced the local culinary landscape with a rich menu of traditional Italian recipes and an extensive selection of ambrosial wines and martinis. Defy conventional pasta physics with an appetizing antipasto such as crab-stuffed mushrooms ($6.95) or zucchini fretto sprinkled with parmesan cheese ($6.95) before pondering the complex tuscan béchamel strata of a baked rustic lasagna ($14.95). Delectable dishes such as the cashew-crusted trout ($22.95) or sautéed veal scaloppini ($21.95) complement a tabletop like a kiss seals a memo or a rose kisses Seal.
For a quarter of a century, Fun Makers' licensed, FAA-certified pilots have guided thousands of passengers skyward during hot-air-balloon tours of Ohio's lakes, valleys, forests, and rolling plains. Pilots update their training annually to stay informed on ballooning guidelines, and each sendoff begins with a passenger orientation that briefs guests on flight basics, personal safety, and how to deflect dive-bombing ostriches. After touching back down, passengers commemorate their voyage with a champagne toast and a first-flight certificate. In addition to hot-air-balloon rides, Fun Makers' staff travels to large and small events at colleges, festivals, and churches bearing a variety of portable entertainment including rock-climbing walls, bungee trampolines, and mechanical rodeo bulls.
The crisscrossed emerald landscape south of Cleveland slips silently beneath up to eight passengers in a balloon's large basket. A skilled pilot adds or releases pressure to the vessel, punctuating the otherwise still air over the stunning panoramas and placid scenes of sprawling greenery. Guests can also opt to charter private flights, allowing them to experience romantic moments or ask embarrassing questions about where clouds come from. All of HiLife Ballooning's flights take off in the early morning or evening when winds are at their gentlest, allowing the captain to set the balloons down gently.

Although most people probably don't consider narcissism or psychopathy desirable qualities in either their friends or romantic partners, many of us are mysteriously drawn toward people with these personality traits. Mean girls are often the most popular ones at school and vampires are sex symbols. Recent research has found that people with so-called "dark" personality traits are more physically attractive than others. What is it about dark personalities that make them so appealing? The answer may help us understand what makes people with these personality traits so successful at exploiting others.
Nicholas Holtzman and Michael Strube of Washington University in St. Louis were interested in looking at the relationship between physical attractiveness and people's tendencies towards narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. They wanted to find out whether these three traits, referred to as the "dark triad," are associated with a greater ability to successfully enhance one's physical appearance.
To test this idea, they invited 111 college students (64 percent women) into their laboratory. Each student was photographed soon after they arrived. Then, after taking this initial photograph, each student asked to change out of their own clothes and put on a pair of gray sweatpants and a t-shirt. Women were instructed to remove any makeup, and anyone with long hair was asked to pull it back into a ponytail. The students were then photographed in this more natural state. Holtzman and Strube showed both sets of photographs to a group of strangers who rated them in terms of physical attractiveness. By comparing the attractiveness ratings of the dressed-down and dressed-up students, the researchers were able to determine how much each student was able to make themselves more appealing through flashy clothes, makeup, accessories, etc.
Next Holtzman and Strube assessed the students' personalities and their tendencies towards narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. They asked the students to rate themselves and to provide email addresses for a few of their friends so that the researchers could ask them to provide ratings as well. This combination of self and peer ratings was used to calculate a final set personality scores for each student. Furthermore, the students' ratings on narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism were combined into create a composite "dark triad" score.
The dark triad score was positively correlated with their "dressed-up" attractiveness – a finding that mirrors previous findings. However, the dark triad score was not related to ratings of physical attractiveness in the dressed-down photos. In other words, people with dark personality traits are not seen as more physically attractive than others when you take away their freedom to wear their own clothes and makeup. People with dark personalities seem to be better at making themselves physically appealing.
The findings reinforce previous research showing that narcissists are more popular than others, literally at first sight. Mitja Back and Boris Egloff of Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz along with Stefan Schmukle at Westfalische Wilhelms-University of Muenster conducted a study in 2010 where they collected information on students' personalities and then had them briefly introduce themselves to one another. After these brief introductions, the students filled out surveys asking about the first impressions made by each other. Students scoring higher on narcissism were seen as more likeable. People perceived the narcissists as more likeable and found that they had flashier appearances, more confident body language, and more attractive facial expressions. Together with Holtzman and Strube's findings, this suggests that narcissists are more skilled at carrying and presenting themselves in a way that immediately impresses others.

This earth of mankindMinke is a young Javanese student of great intelligence, sensitivity and ambition. Living equally among the colonists and colonized of late nineteenth-century Java, he battles against the confines of colonial strictures. The son of a noble Javanese, he moves easily among the Dutch and their ideas and language but is prevented from enjoying their rights. He also falls desperately in love with the beautiful Indo-European Annelies, and it is through her and her extraordinary family that Minke finds the strength to embrace his world - the world of Indonesia - and all its beauty and possibility, brutality and anger. This remarkable tale, the first in the Buru Quartet, was originally recited orally by Indonesian political prisoner Pramoedya Ananta Toer to his fellow cellmates in daily instalments. |

Celebrating Innovation in Apps and Ebook Publishing
The Digital Book Awards (formerly known as the Publishing Innovation Awards), founded in 2010, recognizes innovation, creativity and excellence in all aspects of digital book publishing. Each year, award winners and finalists in 15 categories demonstrate fresh thinking, inspired design and bold technology integration, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this constantly evolving publishing arena.
The program encompasses all forms of digital publishing that are available to consumers as ebooks, enhanced digital books and apps, in order to showcase and reward the work of authors, developers and publishers.
Our 2013 winners and finalists, celebrated at an awards luncheon at the Digital Book World Conference, included titles from the big-six publishers, independent publishers, international producers, digital developers, platform hosts, and self-published authors— in other words, a true reflection of the current digital publishing landscape.
All entrants to the Digital Book Awards are automatically entered in our QED process. The QED is a rigorous 13-point inspection conducted by a network of experienced ebook developers to ensure that all entries meet our criteria before the judging begins.
Once the QED process has been completed and your entry is certified "QED ready," your entry is then reviewed by one of our prestigious judges, all of whom are widely recognized within the publishing industry for their expertise in ebook content, design and production.
The Digital Book Awards are among the more coveted publishing awards in the digital publishing industry. All winners will receive

- Two tickets to the Digital Book Awards gala in January, 2014 in New York City
- A physical trophy marking your achievements
- Wide media coverage in both trade and mainstream press. Past winners have been mentioned in the Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, Publishers Marketplace, Shelf Awareness, Digital Book World, and Library Journal.
- Recognition on the widely popular DBW Website through both a written and video interview.

- Extended Deadline: November 1, 2013
- All entries are $199 per entry
- Additional fee of $20 for Best Cover Design award entry
All entries must be submitted and postmarked no later than November 1, 2013 (11:59 pm EST). The $199 entry fee includes automatic entry in our QED process.
- Innovation – Entries will have been conceived and executed in novel ways. Innovative titles look past their print counterparts and approach their platform natively by pushing the bounds of what has been done before.
- Design – Well-designed entries display their content clearly and communicate their message effectively.
- Usability – Entries function as intuitively as possible and the features and/or layout are accessible for all readers to the extent possible.
- Content – Excellent digital content enriches, enlightens, entertains and satisfies readers; it delivers on its promise.
- Consistency – The title shows appropriate information hierarchy and font treatments throughout. In functionality and layout there are no unexpected surprises or glaring errors. Everything works, and works well.
- Excellence—Award winners will have obtained the highest QED rating.
As in diving, something moderately difficult executed well will be judged more highly than something extremely difficult done poorly. The Digital Book Awards recognizes titles that improve the experience of readers – a title's features should be additive, not distracting.
Titles submitted for awards are evaluated across all formats and devices. For the QED judging criteria, click here. For the Cover Design award judging criteria, click here.

CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton on the agency's investigation into oil's sudden decline in price yesterday.

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Our let's talk oil prices they are extending their fall today after plummeting -- do you see this more than four dollars in a matter of minutes yesterday so.
We have the regulator who's investigating the trades behind the plunge he has a plan to help prevent future price spikes.
Commodities futures trading commissioner.
Bart Chilton joining me now all right a park three to see thank you for coming onto -- Shed light on what's really going on tell me about the investigation where it stands I know it's just 24 Roberts later but.
This was an unbelievably heavy trade and it -- the price -- so dramatically that people are wondering what happened do we know anything yet.
Well it it it occurred as you say Liz.
You know four dollars and a few minutes -- -- actually three dollars and one minute and whenever you see.
Markets moved that fast that quickly with a large volume I mean we're talking about going from about 500.
It trades to you know over 101501.
Minute 101000 the next.
Whenever you see that the of these high frequency traders the -- traders as far as -- call them.
Those -- the guys I want to look at and what I can tell you is that they work heavy in the market at that time I'm not saying -- done anything illegal we're still looking at -- -- but they were heavy in the market and you did see the price fall.
And that sort of stuff we look at to see if anybody was manipulating the market earlier you were -- talking about whether or not this was a eight a fat finger and and I don't think that's probably it because there were many traders in the market.
Liz that's what Jeff Flock percent from the floor of the CMB and and exactly and it was to a sustained it was over a decent period of time.
Again 1:53.
PM eastern time up 500 oil contracts were trading normal level.
What 54 just a minute later 121000.
500 so obviously something's happening there how would investigate part of market spasm like this where do you begin what -- you start looking for.
Well it's it's a normal -- Liz for us to try and get all the trading information and does start slicing and dicing it and our guys there.
Been working really hard doing that and that's why can tell you about that that the fat finger thing that I think -- is pretty much rule ruled out.
And I can also tell you that the -- traders were in massive amounts into the market at this time so if you start looking at who was doing what.
But there's also the link list between what was going on not just in that the west Texas intermediate that's WTI crude market.
The trades -- on nymex.
But also any relationship between what was happening in the IntercontinentalExchange.
Which -- -- In London and so those things may have some relationship and we're looking at they -- all of this stuff -- working.
In an appropriate sense with our -- Fellow regulars in the UK yeah.
You know we we have a -- chart here -- -- -- same same type of picture but if we work to compare it to what happened yesterday with west Texas.
-- pretty much the same maneuvering.
The -- traders these super fast high speed traders that you speak up.
Let's talk about them do they work on -- there was a rumor that perhaps the Obama administration would tap the strategic petroleum oil reserve.
I mean that that the administration -- absolutely not we're not discussing that right now.
But are rumours illegal if somebody starts to spread something one minute and that.
Spreads like wildfire gone for five under contract to 121500 contracts is -- something illegal about that especially if somebody's profiting always.
No no you know the futures markets are actually different in the equities markets so.
You know there's not even in our markets for example an insider trading ban you know if if you have inside information.
About -- you think something that's happening yeah you can trade on our market -- because they're trying to.
Predict what's happening in the future -- futures markets.
But rumors wouldn't move up prices like we saw yesterday Liz I mean no matter what rumor was out there that would be.
At that that's a huge price moves.
And one of the things that concerns me about the -- traders -- is that we continue to see these things this wasn't just a one off we -- natural gas where last period dropped 8% in fifteen seconds we -- and silverware dropped 12% in thirteen minutes.
We even -- our earlier.
This year where the price of crude dropped a 10% -- today.
But it's a stuff that happens in -- confined space that really draws our antenna off as regulators' -- I was gonna say despite a sense comes up there but at some point yeah.
And here you want these guys to register right I mean does that change anything about their behavior.
Well I think so I mean you know you you you can all we all assume that people will do.
I'm sorry could assume what people -- -- will do things but and until we're actually regulated you don't know so the cheat is currently aren't regulated they need regulated.
We need to ensure that their programs these super scary algorithmic programs that they actually test them.
Before they get put into the -- production environment and cause problems.
And we need third.
Eight kill switch in Casey's -- programs gulf barrel and are off to the races that they actually stop themselves -- -- that before they do damage to markets and more importantly to consumers.
Now that that -- and the tuxedo we have I don't think he's gone Farrell anytime soon but -- it's a very important important issue here part thank you.
Do us a favor when you get more information about what happened with a straight we'd love to have you back -- -- thanks very much any time Bart Chilton head of this.

A bit farther, but definitely walkable. They have different stuff than your typical burrito joint. I like their steak and potatoes in chile colorado. They also have homemade mole sometimes as a special.
I'd be there a lot (good coffee, sandwiches, evil treats)--especially with all those cute worker types with their Macs.
I love this cafe that is in front of Saison. Their Twitter feed always announces tasty specials.
Probably not where you want to go every day, but good if you want to take a slightly longer than usual lunch. They do a great burger, and they have more upscale options + full bar if you have the type of job where you need to go for client lunches.
This is a solid Vietnamese place with outdoor seating for those rare warm days. Nothing fancy, but solid.
You can never go wrong with Papalote Mexican Grill on 24th & Valencia. They have great burritos and you will always leave full. If you are still having trouble finding places to eat on the mission try going to a GrubCrawl. You get to try a dish from three different restaurants in one night, that way next time you will be able to narrow down your choices by cravings at lunch time.
If you want more information on grubcrawl, check out www.grubcrawl.com
Bon Appetit!
They have great lunch deals here and you can eat like a Sultan (kabab, rice, salad and soup) for about the same price as a sandwich from Pal's or Kitchenette .
I've never had a bad meal at the Fountain. Hearty food, classic diner style but really, really well done. You're right about Star Stream, it's another stellar option, too!
While I'm thinking of it, this place opened on S Van Ness and 15th not too long ago... I am curious about trying their cabbage rolls (which I love).

Dump US Debt? Think Twice China.
"China's military is telling the communist bureaucrats who run the country to make things tougher on America by dumping their holdings of U.S. bonds. How foolish that would be, especially for China. It's hard to know what's going through the minds of some of China's leaders these days. The military, infuriated by the U.S. sale of $6.4 billion in arms to Taiwan, wants to dump some of China's vast holdings of U.S. Treasury and corporate bonds on the market, a move they believe would send interest rates here spiraling upward and weaken the dollar. By some estimates, China today has nearly $2.4 trillion in foreign exchange holdings, with roughly $1.6 trillion of that in dollar-based assets. It's the No. 1 holder of U.S. debt in the world."

The person who wrote the article is overestimating US economic might. And taking a rather arrogant stance given his own government's economic failure.
The whole basis of his argument - which is so stupid - is that "the American economy depends far less on China than the Chinese economy depends on the U.S." That's really BS. The current economic crisis which put America into its worst recession since the Last Depression has largely been isolated and contained due to real wealth in Asia and China combined. In fact, China has maintained its GDP growth despite the global crisis proving that China and Asia can survive despite the collapse of the US market. But then again, I hope Chinese bureaucrats will do the right thing and not listen to its military. It was military influence and deceit in the government of Japan that led the country into war in the early mid-30s. Commonsense must prevail over emotional military outbursts. Re: Dump US Debt?

when 1971 years,china is very poor,no high technique,no money,no market,no anything...only 10 hundrend million people.china's leader can take charge of Permanent Member of united national. i always feeling that game of politics is china's strong point.if you read china's book of history.you'll be discover china's history consist of the game of politics.so , though i can't answer you about what's the china's leader mind.but we believe they can win in the politics.perhaps i am wrong in this one.let us wait expectantly.

While China will one day be able to stand on it's own it's not at that point yet. Other countries are jealous of China's successess. As a Chinese, I won't boast our success and I just hope China keeps improving it's economy and everything else. Hope Chinese people keeps on saving and don't waste the hard-earn moneys on western luxury goods. Re: Dump US Debt? Think Twice China.

China's economic transformation will face many challenges... Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/02/2011 10:17AM by Chinaflowers. China surely got their own strategy to survive in global stages, so i think holding so much us treasure is one of it.it simply like rabit who ride the turtle.but now this us turtle has tired n geting weaker so is time for rabit to run on his own.
Rabit china is ride us turtle strong but slow economy for his safety because without it china is vunarable in trade n military, but now us economy is so sick & he no longer have military absolute advantage to china so china need to reduce his mutual link to us gradually but not totally & start to boast domestic demands otherwise he will infected, in recent us subprime crisis china had lost money that analyst say enought to build 2 carrier battle group Re: Dump US Debt?

I agree with you Savana.China is just having their own strategy.For them to reserve the power over the US which is currently having trouble abut thteir credit rating.With the economic crisis hitting the world during the last few years, there have been a few industries that have really been making more money. With more customers than ever, the pay day loan sector is doing really well. People are avoiding credit cards to keep spending under control. It is also extremely tough to get a bank loan at this time. It is easier to get loans in the future as they help credit scores a lot. It is simple for more information.

Yesterday, the Boston City Council voted to restrict minors, ages 16 and under, from attending MMA events unless they're with an adult parents. You can read about the details in today's Herald or here. In response to the resolution, which was originally drafted by Boston City Council president Stephen Murphy, the UFC expressed disappointment in the news.

UFC Fight Night 26
At the TD Garden

Alistair Overeem (255.5) vs. Travis Browne (236)

Joe Lauzon (156) vs. Michael Johnson (156)
Preliminary card (live on Fox Sports 1 at 6 p.m.)
Brad Pickett (135.5) vs. Michael McDonald (135.5)
During today's UFC Fight Night 26 press conference at the Wang Theatre, Chael Sonnen stole the show.
The 36-year-old, set to fight Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the main event, was asked why fans should tune in on Saturday. His response brought out laughs and multiple rounds of applause from the crowd.
The UFC held their open workouts today at the TD Garden. Most main event fighters worked out in front of fans and then met with the media. Here's a brief synopsis of what was said
Two of the local fighters – John Howard from Dorchester and Joe Lauzon from East Bridgewater – received some of the biggest reception from the crowd. Lauzon, who fights Michael Johnson, said he's eager to fight in the Garden again, after dismantling Gabe Ruediger at UFC 118 in 2010.
John "Doomsday" Howard got his wish.
The Dorchester native has re-signed with the UFC and will take on Uriah Hall on short-notice in the TD Garden at UFC on Fox Sports 1 1 on Aug. 17, according to his coach at Wai Kru John Allan. The UFC has also confirmed the news to the Herald.
At Las Vegas
Chris Weidman def. Anderson Silva via TKO (punches) - Round 2, 1:18
Frankie Edgar def. Charles Oliveira via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 30-27)
Tim Kennedy def. Roger Gracie via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
Mark Munoz def. Tim Boetsch via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 29-28)
If you read the story in yesterday's Herald, the UFC's return to Boston could be in jeopardy. However, the UFC issued a statement today saying that they are working to try and resolve the issue.
"For the first time since 2010, the UFC is very excited to return to TD Garden in Boston on Saturday, Aug. 17 with a live event card to coincide with the launch of the FOX Sports 1 network. Tickets went on pre-sale today for the event and are already off to a tremendous start.
The fight card for the UFC's return to the TD Garden is starting to take shape.
This past week it was announced that heavyweight Alistair Overeem will meet Travis Browne in Boston at "UFC on Fox Sports 1" on Aug. 17th. It should be noted that this clash of heavyweight titans is not the main event.
After crushing Brock Lesnar, Overeem was one win away from a title shot. But after beating up Antonio Silva for two rounds at UFC 156, Overeem got sloppy and was knocked out.

"Very nice hotel"
Very friendly staff, Robert at front desk at night is super nice. very clean room and good hot breakfast. Fast wifi.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Convenient, clean, quiet"
Right off of the highway. Super quiet. Very clean. Good breakfast. Wish our king bed suite had at least a half wall for a bigger room with the kids. I probably just read the description wrong when booking. We were in a rush. For the price of the hotel, I thought we received an excellent deal. Service at the hotel was friendly and fast.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Love this place"
This is an awesome place to stay. Rooms are exceptionally clean and the service was great!Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Served its purpose"
The staff of the hotel was wonderful, especially the front-desk staff. Very courteous. The room was nice and clean, and the hotel looks like it has recently undergone a nice renovation. However, the renovation stopped at the tub/shower - it looked old and worn. But it was clean! The bed was a little bouncy but also served its purpose. There is a little […] noise from the airport across the highway but overall it was no problem. Breakfast was good, as well. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

Great place to stay, but you'll have to travel at least 25min to shop or party. Its in the middle of nowhere, but area is nice and quietÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

"Nice Hotel close to everything"
Everything was good at this hotel, it was very clean, staff was good, breakfast was excellantÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Great hotel with great service"
I have stayed at this hotel several times and can attest that it is usually very clean, and the staff is usually very professional and friendly. The only minor complaint I have is that to save energy, they'll leave the A/C off until the guest arrives. The only problem is that it can take an hour for the room to cool off in the summer. Other than that, […] this is a great place if you're in North Fort Worth. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Amazing customer service!"
The staff was helpful and wonderful! They even took the time to help me find the hotel when I finally drove into Texas from California and was lost, and they didn't mind my grumpiness. The only issue I had was that the bed was little hard for my taste but other than that everything was fabulous.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"2-night Stay"
The staff is excellent - no complaints there. And the hotel suffices for a decent night's stay in a safe area that's close to everything (at least for the area I was visiting). I just wasn't very impressed with the cleanliness of the room, more so the bathroom. And the gym is nothing to speak of, as it barely exists. Still, for a quick stay for business […] purposes, I had a safe place to lay my head (although the bed is NOT comfortable) & the staff is very accommodating.

"Great Place. I stay here for Tour de Cure"
Everything was in order. Breakfast was just what I needed before a bicycle ride at Texas Motor Speedway. I always stay at this hotel the night before the Tour de Cure bicycle ride at TMS. Tour de Cure is a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association. I recommend this hotel. Restaurants are nearby, too.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

Room clean, staff friendly and would have no problem staying here again. Only issues was lock on back door inoperable ( noted by sign on door) and ice machine on our floor didn't work, also noted by sign on machine. Minor inconveniences but inconveniences that should be addressed.Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Horrible A/C in all rooms"
Rooms were nice, but the a/c doesn't blow hard and is not very cold. We're moved from one room to another and it was the same problem. The front desk manager said that all the ac's have a small fan and didn't blow real hard. Felt like we had a swamp cooler in our room. Would definitely not stay there. You'll regret it.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Good hotel."
Overall hotel was nice. However, the air conditioning in our room was leaking onto the carpet due to the humidity. This caused the room to have a damp smell. I called downstairs to let the attendants know, however, he stated all of the a/c leak on the floor.... He did send housekeeping to spray to make the room smell better.Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"This hotel works for me!"
I rented the room to study for my upcoming finals (grad school). The staff went out of their way to accommodate me and my needs.

"Great hotel for Anyone!"
Hotel was excellent. Maid service was excellent! The only major downfall of this hotel is no mini fridge in your room. We bought a cooler and constantly filled it up with ice for milk and juice at night. The ice machine was on a different floor so 2 trips up and down was a pain. No milk sold in the lobby store. Other than that hotel breakfast was excellent. […] Hotel was clean and rooms were spotless. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

"Great room and convenient access on and off freewa"
Stayed for one night and I was very satisfied. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The overall hotel was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly as well. The breakfast was good, loved the variety and the friut was very sweet and juicy. The only thing that I did not like was that the drain on the tub was broken so I had to use a washcloth […] to plug it for my daughter. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Mediocre at best"
This Hampton is well located if you need to be near Alliance Airport, but you also have to put up with the take-off and landing noise. The people are great except the gaggle of housekeepers in the morning taking over both elevators and talking loudly in the halls. The breakfast is good. The rooms and hotel are dingy and badly in need of remodel. I expect […] every hotel to have something not working in the room, but this one had 5 or 6 items broken or not functional. Basically it is pretty dumpy and does not live up to Hampton Inn's standards I've seen elsewhere. It's a $30 hotel at best, so just pick any number of others that are all over the area.

Analysts at Janney have some enthusiasm for Barnes & Noble's newest partner in its Nook business.
By adding Pearson as an investor in the unit along with Microsoft, and with Barnes & Noble's own stock-holder Liberty Media, the Nook is putting together an "online-education dream team," the analysts said in a note today.
Janney said it "always believed" that Microsoft hoped to make the Nook into an opportunity in education and now amid the investment from Pearson — an education-book giant — it's more clear Nook wants to transform how "education is administered" globally.
Recall that Steve Jobs desired to make Apple's iPad a disruptive tool for education too, but had not been able to land a deal with text book publishers to his liking. Well, Barnes & Noble and Microsoft now have Pearson, on their side.
"We believe [Barnes & Noble] at the center, along with Pearson, [Microsoft], and Liberty Media, forms a powerhouse of software, content, and hardware and we expect additional announcements in the near future that could be potentially disruptive in the world of digital education," Janney wrote.
Barnes & Noble is up 5.7% at $15.17, reversing declines seen earlier this week.

Barefoot in the Alps
Martl Jung from Murnau in Upper Bavaria wants to accomplish something that has not been done since Stone Age times. He wants to make a full crossing of the Alps, from north to south, from Munich to Verona. And he wants to do so completely unshod – barefoot. His route takes him across deserts of rocks, glaciers and up and down via ferratas. He attempts with bare feet something that would be tough on the well-shod average walker. The report accompanies him on the 500 kilometres of up and down, up and down, covering a total elevation of 30,000 metres, or 100,000 feet.

The DIY Product Challenge—Join Us! (There's a Prize)
So here's the thing about getting awesome products to try all the time… We've gotten a little lazy on the DIY! Sure, Alexandra still uses honey facewash sometimes, and Siobhan still makes her now-famous bath body scrub. But we're not exactly whipping up avocado masks and lemon-vodka hairsprays as we once were.
Inspired by this recent morning routine, we decided it was high time to throw down a DIY Challenge! What's more is that this will kick off a new series for us that spotlights awesome DIY recipes… Talk about two birds.
Some time over the next week, whether you're a DIY novice or a seasoned expert, we want you to try a DIY recipe instead of your store-bought product. All you have to do is take a pic of the ingredients, make it, try it, and then of course tells us about it. If it's awesome, we want to hear it! If it's a total fail, we definitely want to hear it!
We will then, of course, choose a winner, and reward them with an awesome gift. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions below, we're going to structure this a little like the Morning Routines.
Some rules: The only rule is that you have to actually try the concoction. If you already have a DIY recipe you use all the time that's totally fine too, just tell us why it's a favorite.
Instructions: First, take a picture of your ingredients. Then try it out. Send us your email by Sunday, May 6th. When you email us nomoredirtylooks (at) gmail (dot) com put DIY! in the subject, and follow this structure:
—Current hometown:
—Product name that I made up:
—Ingredients list:
—How I made It:
—How it smelled, felt, worked: (keep this brief, if you can!)
—Why I will or won't do this again:
Special favor: Help us make sure this is not one of those embarrassing challenges no one actually does. Tell your friends on Twitter, Facebook, at the gym or at the bar. Friend us, follow us, and then RT us, or whatever. Spread the word!
The reason for the challenge: Because as much as we love, love, love fancy natural skincare, we truly believe that some of the best ingredients for our skin and hair are sitting in our kitchen cupboards. We believe that incorporating DIY into our routines is good for our beauty, our bodies, and the environment. Sometimes you just don't need to buy anything!
OK, are you in or what?

Posted 5:03 PM 2/15/2013 : Local women making their way home from stranded ship
TUCSON-Carnival Cruise ship passengers are finally making their way home.
They were on the ship Triumph Sunday when an engine fire caused a power outage.
The toilets started overflowing, the air conditioning went out and food was sometimes tough to get.
Tugboats pulled the disabled ship into port late Thursday night.
Two local women who were on that ship are grateful to be off.
Dawn Mawhinney and her friend Robyn Sanchez were stranded on the ship along with over 4 thousand others in the Gulf of Mexico for nearly a week.
"The experience alone was just horrendous and atrocious," said Mawhinney.
An engine fire crippled the ship's water and plumbing.
"I didn't like seeing her in danger," said Kathy Liljekvist, Mawhinney's mother.
When Liljekvist heard about the engine fire, she didn't know how bad the situation was.
All she could think of was she didn't want to lose another daughter.
She had lost one to cancer two years ago.
"The thought of losing two...one was a nightmare...no," said Liljekvist.
But Mawhinney and her friend were fine just uncomfortable.
"We had no electricity, the toilets didn't work," said Sanchez.
Toilets overflowed and the women said fecal matter could be found everywhere.
"We ended up carrying our mattresses and blankets up the stairs in that nasty water and we just stayed on our mattresses on the deck," said Mawhinney.
