Ancient Greeks worshipped Rhodes, the largest island in the Dodecanese, as their Island of Sun. It has maintained its reputation as the sunniest destination in Greece, and with its delightful bays, flowers and forests, handsome towns and ancient sites, visitors are only too happy to continue the veneration. Rhodes holidays incorporate a perfect partnership of sun, sea, sand, age-old sites, find dining and modern amenities. For Greek holidays Rhodes is a fantastic island destination for all holiday-makers.
Greek mythology pronounces that when Zeus forgot to set aside any land for the Sun God, Helios, the latter asked for a sunny land that had recently emerged from the sea which suited his disposition admirably. That island was Rhodes. Enjoying one of the healthiest and most refreshing climates in the Mediterranean with strong sunlight and beautiful warm sea, the island is also crammed with sites. The old town of Rhodes, the capital city, is widely acknowledged as one of the finest walled cities in Europe, and the landscape is bedecked with as many Byzantine churches as it is flowers. Ancient archaeological settlements and a truly stunning Acropolis give way to fragrant pine forests, fabulous beaches and delightful sandy coves. With stunning beaches and fascinating historical sites, Rhodes holidays are a wonderful way to experience Greece.
Rhodes Town, the largest inhabited medieval town in Europe, is a fascinating combination of ancient and modern. The fortress walls of the old town rise out of lush sub-tropical gardens to protect a maze of arcaded loggia, Italianate squares and tiny cobbled backstreets. It's a splendid medieval city, which together with its fortifications has attained status as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Palace of the Grand Masters is a majestic 14th century jewel lying in the architectural crown of the Knights' Quarter where mellow stone coloured homes and flamboyant Gothic-styles co-exist harmoniously.
Elsewhere Rhodes' Turkish heritage remains in the faded red stone and slender minaret of the 16th century Mosque of Suleiman: on a clear day it is just visible from the Turkish coastline just 18km to the north.
Beyond the ancient walls of Rhodes, the trinkets of the new town exercise considerable charm: there are designer shops, international restaurants, a casino housed in a summer palace, live-music, bars, clubs, laser shows and simple backstreet ouzeries where backgammon is the plat du jour. During summer, the city hosts various cultural events and the many theatres of the capital have daily performances and concerts of classical and modern music. This spectacular contrast between the gloriously old and the new is ideal for visiting the ancient sites, alongside modern comforts when on holidays to Rhodes.
Helios wasn't wrong. Official records show that Rhodes is the sunniest of all the Greek islands. Consistently hot and dry from June until September, with only the odd short, sharp shower in October to disturb the sunbathers from the beaches. Early in the season, April and May bring a colourful carpet of blossoming wild flowers to the countryside, and al fresco dining, the best way to appreciate Greek cuisine, can be enjoyed throughout the summer evenings. It is therefore safe to say that holidays in Rhodes can be enjoyed all year-round, although naturally, despite having mild winters it is much warmer during the summer months.
'Life's fundamental principle is the satisfaction of the needs and wants of the stomach,' according to the Greek philosopher Epicurus, and it's a maxim that many Greeks seem happy to live by. Fresh bread and communally shared mezedes are just the start of it: tzatziki, tirosalata (feta cheese dip) and koponista (salted fish) lead onto moussaka, yemista (stuffed peppers) and the famed spicey beef stew, stifado. For those looking for fine dining, Rhodes holidays are ideal. Sea food is fresh and delicious, and Rhodes Town offers a cosmopolitan range of restaurants where cuisine as varied as Mexican, Swedish, Indian and French can be sampled. As an alternative to the many types of Ouzo, Rhodes boasts its own wines including Chevaliers de Rhodes, Ilios and Archontiko.
The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek god Helios, erected between 292 and 280 BC. It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, standing over 30 metres (107ft) high. 56 years after the statue's completion Rhodes was hit by an earthquake. The statue snapped at the knees and fell over on to the land. The remains lay on the ground for over 800 years, and even broken, were so impressive that many people traveled to see them.

Beauty school graduation ceremony ends in brawl, cops say
BY STEVE METSCH Sun-Times Media email@example.com July 16, 2012 4:44PM
Updated: July 16, 2012 4:44PM
Six people suffered minor injuries, and charges are pending against three women who were taken into custody Sunday after what Tinley Park police called "a large disturbance" after a beauty school graduation ceremony at the Tinley Park Convention Center, authorities in the southwest suburb said.
The six people who were hurt all were treated and released at the scene, according to a news release issued Monday by the Tinley Park police.
Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki said a fight broke out after the graduation ceremony at the center.
Police were called to the convention center at 6:18 p.m. Sunday, police said. When police arrived, including from several neighboring jurisdictions, they found "a large group of people involved in a fight in the front entryway of the convention center," the release said.
Tinley Park police did not immediately return a phone call Monday.

Judge Gives Lauryn Hill Two Weeks To Repay Tax Debt
Lauryn Hill's attorney says that the elusive singer has signed a recording deal with Sony.
Thanks to a judge moving her sentencing date, Lauryn Hill may be able to avoid prison.
TMZ reports that Hill was originally scheduled to be sentenced on Monday (April 22) after pleading guilty to tax evasion.
However, the sentencing was moved to May 6 to give Hill an opportunity to repay a portion of her $968,000 tax debt.
The rapper/actress' attorney says that Hill has signed a million-dollar recording deal with Sony, and that she plans to take out a $650,000 loan to help pay off the bill.
Hill potentially faces several years in prison, though her attorneys hope for probation.
Last week, Lauryn claimed that threats on her family caused the former Fugees member to not pay her taxes.

Sep 25, 2011Kevin Bacon is just the best revenge dad I've seen to current date. His performance begs to differ in "Death Sentence". Unfortunately, the movie's lethargic script and uninspiring dialogue doesn't.
Mar 11, 2011ok for one who ever says this movie is terrible needs a brain scan, because this movei is amazing, the whole plot of the movie is really good and i will admit it is kindof strange how it goes back and fourth but thats what makes it unique and awsome, and the action scenes were really good and i thought they were gonna suck, the movie has emotion, action, and it is trully one of the best movies i have ever seen in my life time… Expand
Jan 7, 2011Suggests that acts of revenge might make a really bad situation even worse. A few gripping moments, no happy ending. ---------------------------------
Jun 28, 2012A great movie with an entertaining performence by Kevin Bacon and Garret Hedlund as well as some excellent staged action and is probably one of the better revenge movies around
Apr 5, 2012What can I say? Perhaps I am biased, but I will be totally sincere. This is NOT a great movie, but I enjoyed it so much, that I myself got surprised! My friends did too, and they are people that nobody on Earthh could call 'dumb' but the opposite. Partly, the reasons for my excitement about this film, may be because Kevin Bacon is the leading figure and I adore Kevin Bacon, for he is one of the most accomplished, versatile, serious, and down-to-Earth actors of Hollywood-and he is as underrated as Gary Oldman or Sean Penn (yet even a better actor -and according to the media and general belief he is also a nicer person-than them), so whenever I watch a movie where he is performing, my attitude becomes more open, for just his acting gives a movie a higher value. That said, (and I am acknowledging I may be biased), this movie is not brilliand but good in its genre. Those who love action filsm we'll see here a bit of the anti-hero. You may find this movie a bit unrealistic, and you are probably right. I don't think, however, that when they made Death Sentence the producers wanted to create a classic, but instead a good action- fiction film! I think they succeeded, for Death Sentence is always intense, and engaging! I know that some of us think that a situation like this is very unlikely to happen. A person doesn't turn into "Rambo' or a "killing machine' just because they want justice for their family and the legal system does not provide them with that. Nonetheless, I wonder if something like that would happen to my boy...what would I do, or at least attempt to do? I am a girl- and a feminine one- but in my own way, perhaps pain and sorrow would force me to take a difficult, emotional, and yet ilogical decision! I don't know!. Perhaps the movie is not that unrealistic, after all. So, my advice is: forget about prejudices and go and be ready to watch a movie that although a bit strange, it never bores! A solid 7 for sure! PS: and if you already love Kevin Bacon, he will not disappoint you, for this movie wouldn't be the same if someone else played his part.… Expand
Mar 12, 2013I liked this movie,because that's what i would do if someone try to do something to my family. It's too emotional and sad but i still recommend it. My score 6/10
Mar 3, 2014I felt absolutely no emotion with any of these characters. In this sort of film, you need to have some sort of connection to really feel the pain and suffering caused and Bacon himself can't even save it. Yeah, the action is alright but if I didn't feel obliged to keep watching it to keep a friend happy, I would have turned it off long before it finished.
Death Sentence, directed by "Saw" co-creator James Wan, swings the pendulum too far. One day Nick is a mild-mannered nerd who spends his days making (and loving) risk assessments for his company; the next, he's Travis Bickle from 1976's "Taxi Driver."
Bears more than a slight connection to the landmark of the genre, 1974's "Death Wish," starring Charles Bronson. It is based on novelist Brian Garfield's sequel to his original book, though any resemblance is tenuous at best.

2009 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Damien P. Beilman, Debra Fox; Respiratory Care, Wesly Medical Center, Wichita, KS
Introduction: The Respiratory Care Department of a 760 bed tertiary acute care referral center instituted a hospital wide application of respiratory care protocol to provide optimal care and decrease costs. The previous respiratory protocol system was updated utilizing the evidence-based guidelines outlined in the Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease (GOLD). This updated protocol system utilized a dichotomy that differentiated between patients admitted with underlying chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and those with non-COPD pathology and was approved by the medical center's Medical Executive Committee. The objective was to decrease unnecessary utilization, length of stay, cost of care and the use of levalbuterol and ipratropium bromide. Method: This study evaluated average utilization, length of stay and pharmacy inventory costs before (January 2006-April 2008) and after (May 2008-December 2008) implementation of the updated protocol. Results: Table 1 shows the pre and post utilization data. It was expected that MDI administration would increase as respiratory therapists assumed delivery of a medication modality that had been traditionally given by nursing. Medication nebulizer and lung expansion therapy decreased by 16% and 11%, respectively. The length of stay for COPD, asthma/bronchitis and major chest trauma decreased an average of 1.01, 2.7 and 2.3 days, respectively. Increase in the utilization of secretion clearance is directly attributable to patient administered use of the Acapella secretion device that was included in the updated protocol system. Decreased use of levalbuterol and ipratropium during the six month trial resulted in a cost savings of $5,456.64. Pharmacy inventory costs for metered dose inhalers decreased $40,000 per month with implementation of a common canister process. Conclusion: Our data suggests that evidence-based respiratory care protocols that differentiate between patients with COPD and non-COPD pathology are associated with a decrease in resource utilization, length of stay and pharmacy costs. This study did not evaluate quality patient outcomes or appropriateness of care. Further evaluations are necessary to determine that this protocol model improves patient outcomes.

Nissan backs off from Goodwood reverse-race car stunt
Organisers of the Goodwood Festival of Speed have stopped Nissan's attempt to drive one of its jalopies up the Hill Climb course backwards. The Japanese manufacturer did manage to send a stuntman in a Nissan up the track on two wheels. But organisers put the kybosh on the reverse attempt on safety grounds. The idea – which …
Leave the motorsport news for a proper motorsport site...
Festival of Speed is not held on the Goodwood race circuit... the Revival is, but not FOS.
Re: Leave the motorsport news for a proper motorsport site...
you might want to re-read John's article...
read it again...
Ahhh yes, now it does indeed have the correct information
... to the new Moderatrix! :-)
A solution
Use a Messerschmitt bubble car; by choosing which way you made the engine run, you could have either 4 forward gear or 4 reverse gears. ie technically as fast backwards as going forwards (corners excluded). Everyone's a winner. Apart from the bored spectators...
oh, and welcome Jude....
Also, the Austin Champ
The Austin Champ also had a reversing mechanism separate from the gearbox, and could do equal speeds in either directions. I know someone who's taken on flat out in top reverse (on a disused airfield runway).
Several motorcycle engined cars have a reverser built into the transmission because the donor motorcycle doesn't. The upshot of which is that you get reverse with all the gears on many of them.
A blown Hayabusa in a 500kg sports car? A damn sight faster than 90mph, methinks.
Flat out?
Doesn't the differential fail before that?
Spectrum is Green.
Get Captain Scarlet to do it in his SPV. Easy.
He's already driving in reverse ?
Re: Spectrum is Green.
I always thought that there was one thing about those SPVs that was highly inaccurate.
Every time the doors opened on one after a drive with a couple of occupants, a lake of fresh vomit should have drained out of it.....
A Leaf!!
How boring
GT-R or 370Z please
I test drove a Leaf
According to the customer relations man (sales man to you and me) it can do 0-60 in under 4 seconds, if all restrictions on the engine etc.. are lifted, though the batteries might on last a couple of minutes (or explode??).
I have been looking for a citation for this, but still haven't found one, though might be fun to watch on "Pimp my Ride"
PS Hello Jude and welcome! :)
Electric can be quick
It's not a Leaf, just an old steel Datsun :) http://vimeo.com/19651664
would this......
make you exempt from the congestion charge?
As the Song Goes
"Sometimes it's a blessing,
Sometimes It's a curse.
I always drive in reverse."
Pat McCurdy
It was a Juke that went up on two wheels
The Nissan that went up the whole course on two wheels was a Juke - just in case the impression was gained that it was a Leaf that did it. I watched it - a remarkable piece of driving!
Was it Swifty by any chance?
Waiting for ...
.... the 'faster in reverse' comments about Italian military vehicles. Or were they banned at the same time as Irish jokes?
DAF Variomatic
The old Dutch DAF automobiles with Variomatic Continuously Variable Transmission
could go as fast backwards as forwards. This gave rise to some of the wackiest television ever to be broadcasted in The Netherlands: reverse DAF racing!
Sounds like a FAD to me
When I were a lad
we had a 2-stroke SAAB 96.
It was a fabulous car but it had one big issue. You never knew for certain which way the engine was running! The number of times I engaged 1st and shot off backwards, I'm amazed I didn't kill myself - especially on the 3rd floor of the multstory in Scunthorpe.
I have a couple old boat engines that run in reverse[1] ...
... Well, forward & reverse are the same, as far as they are concerned.
Only problem is that once you are going forward, you have to stop the engine, shift the camshaft, and then restart the thing spinning in the other direction ... One's a 10-ton Buda straight eight that is currently looking for a tugboat for me to restore; the other is a four ton Atlas Imperial that powers a late-1920s 45 foot cocktail cruiser ... Fun toys, if you're not afraid of getting grease under your fingernails :-)
[1] I have several boats with counter-rotating engines, which is a completely different concept.
If the challenge lies in the back-wheel steering...
I suggest trying the uphill climbing race in a no-suspension back-steering gas powered Hyster 7- tonnes forklift.
For clarification, this thing has all the handling characteristics of a shopping cart driven backwards, (while going forward, because the rear wheels are doing all the steering), the center of gravity is somewhere above the height of your head (assuming you are smaller than 210cm), and the complete lack of suspension, except for tire's pressure, make it as stable as jello in an earthquake. The only good thing of it being like what it is, it can do 180º turns in a single lane, since the tiny wheels can almost turn sideways.
Now I call that skilled driving if someone manages to pull that off, while driving above 50mph. Hell, even 20mph can prove challenging, if the road isn't anything but silk-smooth.
And it can drive backwards pretty fast too. Well, faster than anyone had the guts to do it, while loaded, inside a warehouse, anyways...
health and safety
Yet again some idiot can't judge what is safe or not. A car on 2 wheels is safe, a car going backwards isn't , come on, be sensible.
on 2 wheels...
Is a car on 2 wheels as safe as a motorcycle? Now that is a tricky question...

CDC to baby boomers: Get tested for hepatitis C
By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer May 18, 2012 11:24AM
ATLANTA — U.S. health officials want all baby boomers to get tested for hepatitis C.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday released draft recommendations calling for all baby boomers to get a one-time blood test for the liver disease. That's everyone born from 1945 to 1965.
The hepatitis C virus is most commonly spread through sharing needles to inject drugs. Before 1992, it was also spread through blood transfusions.
The CDC says more than 2 million baby boomers are infected. They account for more than three-quarters of all Americans living with the virus. The virus can take decades to cause damage and many people don't know they are infected.
The testing recommendation is expected to become final later this year.

Smile-Measuring Device Knows How Happy or Sad You Are
Facial-recognition specialist OMRON has unveiled its latest catalyst in bringing about the impending marketing and focus-group apocalypse. It's a "smile detector" -- essentially a piece of software capable of objectively measuring the smiles of humans (and eventually humanoids, we presume), and attributing to them a percentage rating. Enjoying that television show/site/"adult film"? Pretty soon "They" will know, down to the nearest self-loathing grimace.
The system -- which was shown at the Japanese consumer electronics show CEATEC last week -- analyzes faces using a 3D model-fitting technique; it's able to tell identity people, estimate age and gender, and track pupil or eyelid movements. The company claims the OKAO, as the recognition-system is called, is also an "unbiased piece of software, capable of measuring the facial features of all ethnicities." Even Michael Jackson.
We tried out the age-recognition feature last week in Tokyo and were disappointed to see it get our age wrong by 10 years (that said, we were flattered, because OKAO thought we were a decade younger).
Of course, there are other, somewhat less apocalyptic uses for the technology as well, including identity theft prevention, building-entry management, driver monitoring systems in cars (to make sure you don't fall asleep and what not), access control for age-restricted content, and cameras that ensure everyone in the frame is smiling before the picture is taken.
Say (String) Cheese(TM).

Review by Tigist Geme
(OPride) — There are few writers more controversial than Tesfaye Gebreab among contemporary Amharic writers. He has authored nine books, including two in which he's contributed chapters. His work on Oromo people, Ethiopia's largest ethnic group, has been met with equal part praise and condemnation.
Tesfaye, who is touring the United States, is back with a new book: Ye Jemila Inat. It is already available online via MeshCart and will be officially released this week. Book signing events are scheduled in Washington D.C. and Minnesota.
The book has been widely promoted on social media. His fans and detractors are waiting to see what Tesfaye has written about this time. Among the Oromo he's hailed as a hero. His decision last month to become Oromo and change his name as per Mogaassa custom has endeared him even more to his many Oromo fans.

Mark Wiedmer: Apathy may spur a change at Tennessee
Couldn't be happening to a better bunch of hillbillies. Ain't karma great.
Wiedmer: UTC bosses not inclined to end John Shulman's run
No matter what the bookies believe or say, Shulman continues to take this program down.
Wiedmer: UTC bosses not inclined to end John Shulman's run
Stewwie, you may not follow basketball very much or you would not have used the Davidson game or close moral victories approach. Every night in all sports, there are upsets, to say that we are competitive since we lost the close ones is missing the point. I've seen years that, an Ole Miss beats Kentucky, or a mediocre Wake Forest team beats the Tar Heels, and countless others, but the only real way of analyzing a coaches worth is by W' and L's, also rising attendance, which I haven't seen in years. You people, and John need to realize he is paid to produce, and the main ingredient is wins. All these players on the Mocs were recruited by John and his staff. So if they are not, including the seniors that you are throwing under the bus, good enough to win in the Soucon, who and with what information made that error?
Get back on your meds and open your eyes, this team and its coaching suck. We have good potential talent here, but not a coach who can take the kids to the next level in their development.
Wiedmer: UTC bosses not inclined to end John Shulman's run
As a long time supporter and fan of Chattanooga basketball, back to the D-II days, it is jaw dropping what the administration is willing back on the court. John has done and is doing wonderful things in our community with his players and staff. BUT, most college programs over the last 10-15 year have increased their visibility in their communities, to justify the salaries coaches are paid. John was hired to move us forward after the Lebo whirlwind, and other than the talent that was left behind has not produced a consistent winner since that period.
At this point of the season, normally many fans are excited about our chances in the Soucon tourney, and possible NCAA seeding, but sausage making, and the pros and cons of a colonoscopy, would draw more interest.
There may be another year, or two, in John's contract, and he may be content with backing up to get his check, but a negotiated resignation at season's end would not only bring many fans back to the arena, but would show the current roster of players that Rick Hart is serious about the success of the basketball program.
I have felt, going on 5 years now, that the John Shulman experiment should be cancelled due to the obvious lack of talent John had as a coach then, and I, and many others, who are silent, but increasingly disheartened with the program believe it now.
John is very fortunate to be in a city where the media, does not ride him as media in Philly, Atlanta, or Birmingham ie. Finebaum, would. Lucky. His goofy answers at press conferences, after games, and interviews, along with the volatile attitude would sink him fast. His coaching ability has taken him to the pinnacle of his talent, and we are left to suffer that.
The Chattanooga basketball program has reached rock bottom, and I am interested if he is still holding on to the keys a year from now, how much further he can drive it into the crust of the earth.
Over the last several years this program has lost almost all of the respect nationally we had during the Arnold/McCarthy days, and the last time we were in the NCAA Big Dance we were embarrassed by a good, not great UConn squad, by 61 points, 61 POINTS, and some believe that was a good year hmmm....
As I've heard, many will not be back to the arena until a change is made, count me in as one of those. So as you see 20-30 seats open up at the games, the remainder of the year, you are welcome to "come on down", and take them.
Mercer overpowers Mocs
I don't see how, but to boycott home games, would be the only way the administration will get the message, "JOHN HAS TO GO". This is an em-BARE-ASS-ment to our program, university, and intelligence.
Mocs 32 seconds from .500 record
And we're left to enjoy another dismal season of Moc basketball, brought to us by Jon Shulman. Let us hope this experiment is nearing an end.

Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 20, 2012—
On Saturday, March 3, 2012 more than 150 walkers and people using wheelchairs and scooters will participate in the Montgomery MDA Muscle Walk 2012 at Montgomery Zoo. The fun event is expected to raise more than $35,000 to help the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) serve area residents with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle diseases.
"We're walking to help MDA fund worldwide research and to provide unparalleled health care services to people with muscle diseases," said Christy Cruse, MDA Christy Cruse Fundraising Coordinator -Montgomery.

Many teams will reach out to Facebook friends to raise thousands of dollars (human-interest stories abound; contact MDA for "hometown hero" candidates).

NEW YORK – Days of finding a quarter under your pillow are long gone. The Tooth Fairy no longer leaves loose change.
Kids this year are getting an average of $3.70 per lost tooth, a 23 percent jump over last year's rate of $3. And that's a 42 percent spike from the $2.60 per tooth that the Tooth Fairy gave in 2011, according to a new survey by payment processor Visa Inc., released Friday with an update of the company's Tooth Fairy personal finance app.
Part of the reason for the sharp rise: Parents don't want their kids to be the ones at the playground who received the lowest amount.
A kid who got a quarter would wonder why their tooth was worth less than the kid who got $5, Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist and professor at Golden Gate University, said.
To avoid that, Brian and Brittany Klems asked friends and co-workers what they were giving their kids. The Klems, who have three daughters and live in Cincinnati, settled on giving their six-year-old daughter Ella $5 for the first tooth that fell out, and $1 for any others. They said $5 was enough without going overboard. They didn't want other families to think they were giving too much.
Then Ella found out that one of her friends received $20 for a tooth.
I told her that the Tooth Fairy has only so much money for every night, and that's how she decides to split up the money, said Brian Klems, 34, a parenting blogger and author of Oh Boy, You're Having a Girl: A Dad's Survival Guide to Raising Daughters.
Confused about what to give?
Ask other parents what they're giving, Jason Alderman, a senior director of financial education at Visa, said. That can at least get you in the ballpark of what your kids' friends are getting, he said. Alderman gave his two kids $1 a tooth.
I think we were on the cheap side, he said. Other families gave about $5 a tooth. One family gave their kid an antique typewriter. I have no idea how they got that to fit under the pillow, he said.
As part of the company's personal finance education program, Visa offers a downloadable Tooth Fairy Calculator app that will give you an idea of how much parents in your age group, income bracket and education level are giving their kids, Alderman said. The newly updated app is available for iPhones and iPads on iTunes, and the calculator is available on the Facebook apps page.
While more money is exciting news for children, parents should take this opportunity to talk saving and smart money habits with their kids and have the same talk with a perhaps overgenerous Tooth Fairy, Nat Sillin, who runs Visa's financial education program in the U.S., said.
How much kids are getting from the Tooth Fairy depends on where they live. Kids in the Northeast are getting the most, according to the Visa study, at $4.10 per tooth. In the West and South, kids received $3.70 and $3.60 per tooth, respectively. Midwestern kids received the least, at $3.30 a tooth. About a third of all parents surveyed say the Tooth Fairy left a dollar or less.
Visa randomly sampled 3,000 households by phone in July.

Will they throw in a hat for free after they get the check?
The Riva Aquarama, (please correct your typo) was the hottest boat that I have seen in MT Dora in years. To finally meet a legend of our industry Cal Connell was a treat as well. If I had the cake, I would bid on this gem and keep it for my grandchildren to enjoy.
Regarding the auction. You can watch it live on HD Theatre channel which a number of cable companies carry. I'll be watching.
