Top Local Tips for Crete
Dont go! Hersonissos is a dump. It is lined with row after row of tacky tourist shops, with no real heart or greek identity to speak of. You will find Irish Bars there, and brash drinking holes, plus the occasional club. Good only for the least discerning 18-30 hols, and some towns do even that much better than Hersonissos
Getting about It's worth trying the local buses - we saved loads of euros by making our own way to Knossos. The bus cost just over 5 euros each way and the Knosso entrance cgarge is only 6 euros. (Thomsons charge over 40 euros each.)
Cocktail bars Go to the decent ones off the strip (Al Paradiso) and pay a little more, rather than the "two for one" offers on the strip - they taste like anti freeze.

Special to The SUN
Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District wants to assure its customers the water the district provides is safe to drink and meets all drinking water standards.
The moldy or musty smell and/or taste that customers might experience at this time, or over the next few days, is a result of the condition of the water in the San Juan River as the district has recently treated water in the San Juan Treatment Plant from that source.
PAWSD does not have a way to remove the taste and odor from the water, but customers can be assured the drinking water meets or exceeds all state and federal regulations. District officials hope this condition will soon pass but, with the recent wildfires, the condition of the river water changes significantly from day to day.
For further information, contact the PAWSD office at 731-2691, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or visit the website at www.pawsd.org.

Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) -- French jobless claims jumped in January as concern about stalling economic growth prompted companies such as Alcaltel-Lucent and Peugeot Citroen SA to trim payrolls.
The number of people actively looking for work at the end of January rose by 13,400 to 2,861,700, the Labor Ministry said today in an e-mailed statement. That's the highest total since October 1999. The ministry revised its series for last year, leaving claims at 2,848,300 at the end of December.
French growth slowed to 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter, defying forecasts that the country would tip into a recession as President Nicolas Sarkozy and other European leaders struggled to end Europe's debt crisis.

FutureGen to build 'clean coal' plant in Illinois
The $1.8 billion facility will demonstrate a novel technology to fight global warming.
A solution to America's energy challenge – turning its coal reserves into a clean fuel – is a step closer to reality.
A government-industry alliance announced Tuesday that it would put a $1.76 billion "clean coal" power plant in Mattoon, Ill. By 2013, the plant is expected to start cranking out 275 megawatts of electricity from gasified coal while emitting almost no pollutants and only 10 percent of the carbon dioxide from today's coal-fired plants. The taxpayer-supported project, called FutureGen, joins a global race to develop clean-coal technology.
But it comes at an odd time for the utility industry. Even though the United States agreed this past weekend to pursue an international greenhouse-gas reduction pact, the US government has announced no plans or guidelines for future regulation or taxation for carbon. Facing such uncertainties and escalating costs to build power plants, utilities have scaled back their construction plans, especially for plants powered by coal. The dozen or so proposed plants using clean-coal technology similar to FutureGen – called integrated gasification-combined cycle or IGCC technology – represent less than half the number of plants on the drawing boards just six months ago, analysts say.
"Until there's a carbon policy framework that makes it clear for industry how they can take advantage of the edge IGCC has in carbon emissions over conventional power, this new technology faces the same go-slow approach," says Alex Klein, senior analyst at Emerging Energy Research, a Cambridge, Mass., energy market research firm.
That slowdown could make FutureGen even more key to the future of IGCC technology. If the US is to use its massive coal reserves – estimated to last roughly 200 years – FutureGen-style gasification technology will be vital, many analysts say.

Ford Motor's CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Let's look more closely now to the financial highlights for the quarter. Slide 4 summarizes our first quarter business results compared with a year ago.
Wholesale volume was about 1.4 million units, down 45,000 units or 3% from a year ago. Revenue was about $32 billion, a decline of $700 million or about 2%. Pretax operating profit, excluding special items, was $2.3 billion, $544 million lower than a year ago. Earnings were $0.39 per share, $0.08 lower than last year's earnings per share, adjusted for the tax valuation allowance release. Net income attributable to Ford, including the unfavorable pretax special items of $255 million, was $1.4 billion or $0.35 per share, a $1.2 billion decrease from a year ago. And about half of that increase in net income reflects higher tax expense related to the valuation allowance released in the fourth quarter of 2011, with the balance explained by lower operating results and increased special charges.
Automotive operating-related cash flow was $900 million, the eighth consecutive quarter of positive performance. We ended the quarter with $23 billion of Automotive gross cash and with Automotive gross cash exceeding debt by $9.3 billion. This is a net cash improvement of $4.6 billion compared with a year ago.
Overall, we had a strong start to the year, reflecting the continued success of our ONE Ford plan.There are a number of other business highlights in the quarter as shown on Slide 5. First, we continued our strong cadence of global new product introductions and concept reveals, starting with the EcoSport in India and Brazil, followed by the Fusion and the Lincoln MKZ Concept in the U.S. In Europe, we also introduced the B-MAX, the Fiesta ST, the Kuga and Tourneo Custom Concept. In March, our CFMA joint venture opened a second assembly plant in Chongqing, increasing our passenger car capacity in China by 1/3. We delivered our 4 million SYNC system in the U.S. and announced that the new B-MAX will be the first product in Europe to offer SYNC.

i'd try Handy Recycling they pay the money straight into a bank account and offer quite good prices my friend uses them regular and never had a problem
or Sell mobile phone for cash, Trade in, recycle mobile phones they give £170 for an iphone 3g 8gig I might send mine of as im getting a desire tonight!
You could always try the post office? Simply Drop
I've heard of more than a few problems when dealing with the recycling companies who you ship your phone to via the post. Such as being told your phone was 'damaged' whilst in transit, and thus they're unwilling to pay you the full price.

Leadership, Violence, and School Climate: Case Studies in Creating Non-Violent Schools (Paperback)
by Kyle Blanchfield, Peter Ladd
|Paperback 180 pages
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 7-10 days
Delivered FREE
in the UK
In the book, Leadership, Violence and School Climate: Case Studies in Creating Non-Violent Schools, three important themes are emphasized namely, democratic leadership, violence and school climate. The book recognizes that safety should be the first issue of concern when addressing school violence. However, violence in schools should not be the sole concern of outside experts who advocate for lock downs, metal detectors and bullet proof glass. Through democratic school leadership violence can be reduced by those professionals actually working in schools. The book emphasizes that reduction in school violence originates from school leaders having a comprehensive understanding of the climate found in schools. Leadership, violence and school climate are connected through the use of democratic principles that address; crisis, trauma, empowerment, common ground, critical thinking, assertiveness and others. The book points out how schools can reverse their reactionary stance to violence, and become pro-active through the practice of democratic principles.

Fastening System - Facility Management Product Release
Bemis Manufacturing Co.
website | Company information
The STA-TITE® commercial fastening system™ eliminates costly callbacks and maintenance labor for tightening loose toilet seats while cutting installation time by one-third. Through a simple installation process, the finned bushings securely center the mounting bolts in the holes to prevent shifting that contributes to seats loosening over time. After the nuts are finger-tightened and the seat is centered on the bowl, a 5/8-inch wrench can be used to tighten the lower portion of the nuts, at which point they are engineered to shear off.

Common Questions and Answers about Spiriva walmart
For 6 mths. after diagnosis, I did have insurance. So, I was prescribed Advair,
and ProAir. While having insurance, I did get a second opinion on the COPD by a pulmonary doctor as well. But, between my family doctor and the pulmonary doctor, I was prescribed these meds for my COPD. Three months after being on all these meds, I spent the sickest winter of my life. Pneumonia, bronchitis and pleurisy. I had never had pneumonia in my life. And the pleurisy lasted 3 long painful months.

Instead of buying an expensive Oxygen tank bag for the Rollator, I use a
$1.00 cloth shopping bag that works just fine. I hang a couple of extra of these bags on the walker to shop with. I'm going to buy a second Rollator to leave in my front yard, under a plastic cover, so I can go out my front door and walk around my yard, without having to go to the trouble of taking the other walker out of the trunk of my car.

A letter to my 16-year-old selfBy Pam Pastor
I know you too well and I'm pretty sure you're on the phone right now. Hang up and read this. Don't roll your eyes.
I know you too well and I'm pretty sure you're on the phone right now. Hang up and read this. Don't roll your eyes.
High school basketball may not be as attention-getting as collegiate basketball, but this year at the National College Athletics Association (NCAA), it was a different case altogether because of the emerging rivalry between San Beda and La Salle Green Hills.
Like they say, it's not how you start, but how you end. Whenever June rolls around, students usually think of only two things—either they can't wait to go to school and start learning again, or they wish summer could be longer so they wouldn't need to go to school again, sit down in class and listen to seemingly endless lectures.
I am a 40-something husband with a loving wife and five lovely kids. I love my family. My problem started six years ago in a high school reunion, when I saw the girl I was in love with then, but got cold feet that she'd turn me down. Nobody knew about it but me.
Our high school Facebook page of late has been inundated with photographs of our younger, more innocent selves. My Maryknoll (now Miriam) high school class marks its pearl anniversary—30 years old!— next weekend, Sept. 8.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I'd like to tell you about Camp Wyandot in southeastern Ohio, the Camp Fire USA summer overnight camp where I work as a counselor once a year. I'd like to try explaining why I drove 450 miles each way every summer when I was living in Chicago to spend my hard-earned vacation days with other people's children; and why I can't wait until my two little ones are old enough to be campers there. There's just something about that place that won't let go.
Camp Fire USA is the organization that began as Camp Fire Girls, and became co-ed in the 1970s. Camp Fire USA is non-sectarian and does not discriminate with regards to race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation or any other aspect of diversity. Camp Wyandot is an overnight camp emphasizing outdoor adventure and nature. The local council's mission is Reuniting Children and Nature. The camp believes strongly in the power of the outdoors to enhance the physical, mental and behavioral health of children and teens. The camp is set in a beautiful and ecologically important area of Clear Creek Valley in the Hocking Hills area of Ohio.
My first year as a camper at Camp Wyandot was when I was 13. Some of my Camp Fire friends had been going for years, but I was afraid to ask my parents because I worried they could not afford the $115 camp cost at the time. Once I had saved up enough from my paper route, I asked if I could go. I was quickly ushered into a new and different world -- a community that would sustain me through difficult teen years and beyond.
Some of my closest friends to this day are camp counselors I had as a camper at Wyandot. All the counselors take "camp names" to make it easy for the campers to remember. So Moo, Pretzel, Hypee and Mossy are still in my life, through 16 years and several interstate moves. Counselors like me return each year from California, Texas, Florida, Illinois and the East Coast. A camper of mine in 1998 from a small town in Ohio has gone from being one of the girls in the treehouse cabins to a graduate of Notre Dame University, and we still keep in touch. As the song goes, "Memories of Wyandot, they will live forever; Deep within the hearts of all. And although our paths are parted, there's no need to cry, for memories of Wyandot ne'er can die." A couple years ago, as I walked out the swinging screen door of my cabin with all my gear on Saturday night, I began to sob. I didn't want to leave. This is me, a grown woman who covered crime for a daily newspaper, rode a motorcycle and competed in triathlons! That's why I can't say enough about Wyandot. It isn't just me; many of the returning staff feel the same way. And most of the children who are homesick on Sunday are begging their parents to stay another week when Saturday comes around.
The deep sense of Camp Fire tradition and love of the outdoor environment is embracing and overwhelming. Children who have never been to the woods are identifying endangered plant species by the end of the week and attending their first, full-blown Council Fire around our huge ceremonial fire ring. I don't want to talk about myself too much, but as I faced the challenges of awkward teen years, peer pressure and competition for college, I was always sustained by the peace and loyal friendships I found at Wyandot. I daydreamed about camp 51 weeks out of the year. As an adult, I now reap great joy watching young people experience these same moments, and I can't wait until my two little ones are old enough to be campers. (Campers must have completed first grade.)
One year I had a little girl in my cabin who was terrified of getting dirty and was constantly asking for the antibacterial wipes from the First Aid kit to clean her hands. By the end of the week, she had streaks of natural clay from the creek on her face, as she and the other campers gave themselves "mud facials." I've seen quiet girls and boys take leadership roles when they discover a talent for outdoor skills. I've seen young men learn to take responsibility for mistakes or harsh words and apologize sincerely to their peers. I've seen children of all abilities, some with attention disorders and some with physical disabilities, marching in silent lockstep to raise the flag on a dewy morning.
Practical information:
Camp sessions run from Sunday afternoon to the following Saturday morning. Campers who have completed first grade can sign up for a one-week session, or multiple sessions. Sessions are available in late June and each week in July. During some sessions, campers can sign up for extras, such as off-site horseback riding. These require an additional fee. Camp Wyandot also has a grief camp for children who have suffered the death of someone close to them. It is called Camp Atagahi at Wyandot: A Place of Healing and Hope.
The camp is set on Lake Ataghahi, a small lake use for canoing and fishing. The lake is in a valley, and the camp's buildings are on two hills on each side of the lake.
Campers who have completed grades 1 through 7 generally stay on Cabin Row, which is a dirt lane lined with wood cabins on the west side of the lake. The cabins have wood bunks and most have a back room with shelves for luggage and space to change clothes. The cabins have screened windows and doors, with shutters to close in case of rain. Campers on Cabin Row use a central bathhouse called Egypt, which has hot showers, flush toilets and sinks and electricity. This bathhouse is scheduled to be replaced for the 2009 camp season. The youngest campers live in cabins closest to the bathhouse and Hoskins Lodge, where the nurse resides. Counselors stay in the cabins with the campers. Cabins can accommodate up to eight campers. Campers identify themselves by cabin group, such as "Bear Cabin" and "Fawn Cabin." Cabins are not accessible to those using wheelchairs.
Older campers live on the hill east of the lake in groups called "units," which comprise several small sleeping tebins and a covered gathering place. The oldest girls live in treehouse cabins, which are made of wood with wood ladders and windows. Other campers live in "tebins" which are wood cabins with open windows that can be closed using roll-down tarps in case of rain. These campers use a bathhouse called Alps, which has hot showers and flush toilets and sinks and electricity. Campers who are 16 and 17 can enroll in the Counselor in Training program. These campers also live in tebins, and they learn teaching and leadership skills as they assist with camp activities and train to become a counselor.
All campers have access to a large swimming pool, which is staffed by trained and certified lifeguards. The younger campers receive daily swimming lessons as part of their activities.
Hazards: Campers are taught to identify poison ivy. The camp also is home to the usual insects, such as spiders, ants, mosquitoes, ticks, etc. We have not had a camper come down with any insect-born illness. We also have bats at camp, and campers learn about how the bats feed on mosquitoes. Cabins are kept clean, and camp mattresses are covered in waterproof covers and sanitized weekly.
Campers assist with some camp chores, such as setting the tables and cleaning the bathhouse, to learn group responsibility.
A typical day consists of waking up, taking part in Morning Mile or Polar Bear swim if desired, getting dressed, cleaning up the cabin, attending flag raising, and heading to the Dining Hall (Hislop Lodge) for breakfast. Hot food is prepared fresh onsite by the cooking staff. There is good variety and quantity of food, and often a fresh salad bar accompanies lunch and dinner, and a cereal bar is available at breakfast. Campers then take part in activities with their cabin group, such as hiking, creeking (wading in the creek looking for salamanders, etc.), learning about nature, or working on a craft or skill. Campers may have lunch in the dining hall, or pack a sack lunch for a hike. Afternoons are for rest hour, free swim at the pool, and other fun activities. Dinner is at the dining hall or cooked out over an open fire. (Older campers usually pack out or cook out one meal per day.) At 8 p.m., Taps is played on the bugle and younger campers must be in their bunks with lights out. Older campers may go with their counselor to call owls or study the stars until bedtime.
The camp's main focus is nature and outdoor skills. We have some endangered plant species at camp, as well as interesting plants brought here with the glaciers during the Ice Age, including the hemlocks and the sassafras. Counselors are trained to bring positive reinforcement to campers of all skill levels, and to help campers mediate conflicts, get along, make friends, and accept others. Diversity is prized in all Camp Fire events and camps. Campers have opportunities to earn awards individually and as a cabin group. These are presented at Council Fire on Friday Night, a longstanding and hallowed tradition at Wyandot.

Deputies find drugs on beach in Hobe Sound
Updated On: Sep 12 2013 04:40:09 PM EDT
Deputies looking for refugees stumbled upon drugs on a Martin County beach Thursday morning.
A Martin County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said deputies were called to a possible refugee landing at Hobe Sound, about a mile south of the St. Lucie Inlet.
When deputies arrived, they found nearly 800 pounds of marijuana scattered on the beach.
A Bahamian refugee was taken into custody.

Sometimes inspiration strikes very close to home or, in this case, to the conference room. When Swedish design firm Form Us With Love moved into an open-plan studio with high ceilings, they realized that they would need sound dampening around the conference table. Thus, Hood was born. The LED luminaire acts as both a sound absorber and a lighting source. The 635mm-tall modular fixture ranges in lengths from 1,200mm to 3,000mm; it can be manufactured in larger sizes as needed. formuswithlove.se

Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky's masterful translation of The Idiot is destined to stand with their versions of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons as the definitive Dostoevsky in English.
After his great portrayal of a guilty man in Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in The Idiot to portray a man of pure innocence. The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and "be among people." Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant's son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg the prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this "positively beautiful man" on the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature.
"Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, justly acclaimed for their translations of such Russian classics as Gogol's Dead Souls and Dostoyevski's The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground, have now undertaken another major Dostoyevski novel, The Idiot. Their trademark style—fresh, crisp and faithful to the original (bumps and blemishes included)—brings the story of naïve, truth-telling Prince Myshkin to new life. As is true of their other translations of Dostoyevski, this will likely be the definitive edition for years to come."—Publishers Weekly

December 22, 2014
McALLEN, Texas (AP) - The Houston Rockets are taking over basketball operations of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in what it says is the first partnership of its kind with an NBA Developmental League team.
The move will give the Rockets control over the players assigned to the D-League team. The Rockets will also have the final say on staff hirings, coaching decisions and even the schemes used in games. The Vipers will still be locally owned by a group headed by Alonzo Cantu, and the group will continue to oversee business operations.
The Rockets will host an exhibition game against the Boston Celtics on Oct. 7 in Hidalgo, marking the first time an NBA D-League team has hosted a parent club for any part of training camp.

How to Crochet a Sweater
By: Kelly Olson for Helium
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Let this article teach you How to Crochet a Sweater. Then you'll be able to create tons of great crochet projects.
Now there are many ways to crochet a sweater. There are those made in pieces to be sewn together, Sweaters made in one piece that are folded and sewn at the seams, as well as circular sweaters that minus under the arms have no seams at all. For some one just starting out, I would suggest a simple pattern such as Lion brand's squares sweater. A link to pattern will be included at bottom of page. This pattern is very easy to make as well as easy to vary. Any stitch can be worked to fit this pattern that can also be adjusted to fit any person. The pattern given is for infant and toddler but I have made them to fit up to a gentlemen's extra large. It is simple. Measure the back of the intended person from side to side. Figure out how many stitches to an inch and then adjust pattern to fit. The pictures for this pattern use bold primary colors but they can be made all in one color or stripes what every you like. Simple edging can be added to add a little fancy flare, or embroidered patches and buttons can be added to for character.
Beginners may like to start out with a granny square pattern for sweaters as well. Again easy to make and to adjust to personal tastes these sweaters are good for those who are looking to have a take along project as granny squares are small and easy to carry around. These sweaters are also good for those looking to use up all the little left overs from other projects. I have selected two patterns and posted the links to these below as well. The first is an easy pattern for an infant sweater that again can be adjusted to fit a larger body. The second is a bit harder but a favorite pattern. Squares made with yellow and two shades of orange finished in black give that sweater a bold look while softer shades of brown are appealing as well.
That said, colors are a very important part of sweater making. Not only do you want to chose colors the person likes but you want them to look good together. If you find yourself staring at a wall of yarn daunted by the choices, try taking an example from nature. Pick a season and then something from that season, certain flowers or autumn leaves for example. Tulips that have peach fading up through pale yellow to white with streaks of green give you a list of colors that will look nice together. As for autumn leaves find gold and pumpkin, along with a sage and chocolate colored yarns. If nature fails to inspire try thinking of your favorite room. What are the colors of that room? There you go. If after that you are still just not jelling a color scheme pick up a multi-colored variegated yarn. Since companies make them with colors that look good together, even if you do not like the look of variegated you can use the color combos. Most companies make solids that match to work specifically with their variegated yarns.
Just as important is the yarn chosen. Our modern world has brought with it an amazing array of yarns. The styles, vary as much as their uses. Fibers from all over the world are used to make the yarns as well as being able to purchase home spun or even yarn made from the hair of your dog. For the first sweater though I would suggest either a 4 or 5 ply yarn with out all the bumps, frizz, fluff or sparkle. Yes larger yarns will work up faster but specialty yarns can be hard to work with and should be saved for later works.
Sweaters seem like a tough project to do but with a simple pattern, the right yarn in the right color or colors, they are nothing to fear. Sweaters made at home tend to be warmer for the wearer as well, not to mention hand made gifts are something very special. So happy crocheting!

Moisturizes well but takes a bit longer to absorb. I like the smell, but it's expensive for a drug store brand. Eight bucks is too high IMO. Overall it's a good product.
This is by far the best lotion/cream oil I have ever used. It does leave very little shimmer when you are in the sun you can see it. I get a lot of compliments on my skin. People have noticed how soft my skin is. I have used Vaseline cocoa butter formula and it is not as good as Dove. I also use the Dove liquid soap in Cream Oil Shea butter and it is awesome. It doesn't leave a film in the tub, like most creamy liquid soaps.
I like this lotion because it moisturizes really well without leaving you feeling greasy and disgusting. It's not the cheapest lotion, but it does last a very long time. Thumbs up!
This is the best winter lotion ever!! Your skin will drink it up!! I love it!
OK I am not going to lie I love this lotion. It is my HG. My skin gets very dry in the winter and the moisturizes really well. It glides on and feels good too. It is thick and creamy which I love about it. It makes my skin silky smooth and it smells good. Although if you are fragrance sensitive it wouldn't be good for you. It is kind of strong. It also sinks in quickly and isn't oily or tacky. It does not leave a sticky residue. All in all a great lotion.
EDIT: I still enjoy this lotion but I think I found a different hg lotion in Aveeno
Good quality + low price + long lasting = winner!!
This is not my favorite lotion, but it hydrates well, leaves skin soft & is very affordable. You can't go wrong with this.
Wow, I was very surprised how great this product is. I've been through all of them, from Amlactin (which is still in the top 3), to Gold Bond, to Vaseline Clinical...I've been around the block. The lotion comes out very smooth and is very well emulsified. In the past, I though Gold Bond or Vaseline Clinical was good, but they left waxy residue behind, and it felt gross in the shower. I'm so happy I found a great lotion.
I have used various brands from bath and body works, Victoria's secret, Jergens...etc. This surprised me because this has made my skin so soft, better than any lotion/cream I have ever tried. I am blown away. So cheap too. After trying this and the Dove shampoo/conditioner, I am starting to believe this brand is of high quality and really works well. I loved how soft and supple my skin feels when using this, and it lasts for days.
This is a really great body lotion. Comes off thick and creamy when you apply it but absorbs into the skin pretty quickly and well. My skin feels and looks healthy, glowing, soft and moisturized without the oily and sticky feeling. Under sunlight, my skin looks like there are tiny specks of shimmer reflected (or maybe it's just my eyes). I also like the shea butter smell. The pump dispenser is a plus. I love this lotion and will sure be buying again. :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This lotion is a dream - I love love love the scent! Iit smells just like the body soap bar and I can't get enough of either! I love dove - all of it but this one is a dream.

Cutting through the U.S the Loneliest Road passes through time-worn towns, magnificent mountain ranges, and the rolling Pacific Coastline. Starting in San Francisco Tom drove west into Nevada on the I50, before heading south through the deserts of Las Vegas and then back to San Francisco via Los Angeles and then the Pacific Coast Highway north bound. Behind the wheel of a Bentley Mulsanne, a pinnacle of British design and style, Tom encountered the epic landscapes and fascinating people on this epic journey.

From airborne adventures to treks across striking landscapes and countless diving opportunities, not to mention the infamous wildlife and landmarks, this is without a doubt one spectacular country that begs to be explored. However, we know that the vastness of Australia (it's the 6th largest country in the world) and the thought of a long journey to get there can often scare people away. A classic case of too much to see, too little time. Well, not any more. We've found a way of making the most of all that this country has to offer on a variety of two week adventures. On our site you'll find a range of 14 day itineraries that together cover 14 unique Australian experiences.

It's an ancient country that boasts jagged mountains and fjords met by sapphire, glistening waters and stunning architecture that encapsulates a culture and traditions reaching as far back as the late Stone Age. Laying claim to over 600 miles of coastline, dramatic desert landscapes, verdant greenery and the awe-inspiring Hajar Mountains, Oman is (unsurprisingly) a Black Tomato favourite. ]]> The Best of Taiwan tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3784827 2013-08-20T09:45:42-04:00 2013-10-20T05:12:01-04:00 Black Tomato http://www.huffingtonpost.com/black-tomato/ Taiwan is undoubtedly proof that big things can come in small packages. Taiwan is a beautifully captivating island and a Black Tomato favourite that effortlessly provides more than enough reasons to visit. A kaleidoscope of colour courtesy of its countless festivals, rich cuisine and ornate temples and home to the ultimate contrast of landscapes in capital city, Taipei, with its city skyscrapers enveloped by humid rainforest hills. Get lost in the bustling night markets of Taipei, Tainan and Kaohsiung, and spend the following morning inhaling the aromas and learning the traditions of Taiwan's tea culture.

Its variety contributes to its world renown; whether inspiring city arts movements or tranquil coastlines picking up surfers from shore to shore, delicate seafood dishes or hearty home grown chilli, Texas has a range of scenes all of which pack as much punch as the next.

The sun drenched islands are renowned for their colourful harbours, beautiful sandstone architecture, rich culture and history, Italian and Arabic influenced cuisine and of course their friendly residents that give the islands much of their character. It goes without saying that we at Black Tomato are major fans of the Maltese islands and can't wait to show you some of the best it has to offer. ]]> Aspen Defrosted tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3145476 2013-04-29T06:39:08-04:00 2013-06-29T05:12:01-04:00 Black Tomato http://www.huffingtonpost.com/black-tomato/ Black Tomato live to steer our way off the beaten track and dig out new destinations but sometimes it's just about seeing a well-known place in a different light. Take Aspen for example: cue mental images of bundled-up skiers speeding across powdery white snow and cream-topped mountains. Not exactly inaccurate in winter but come summertime, a whole new side to the town and the Rockies themselves emerges. The snow melts to reveal lush green mountains to be hiked and explored, and the visitors to town transform from slope seekers to culture hunters, ready for the seasonal festivals and shows. And so we present four very good reasons why Aspen shouldn't be overlooked when it comes to selecting your summer holiday destination. ]]> Bon Bini Aruba tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3084481 2013-04-15T11:59:47-04:00 2013-06-15T05:12:02-04:00 Black Tomato http://www.huffingtonpost.com/black-tomato/ Black Tomato , it doesn't take much to sell us on a Caribbean island - mention clear blue seas and white sands and we're there. It's just the cherry on top when there's even more to do on the occasions when we drag ourselves away from the coastline, which is why Aruba is the consummate island getaway in our books.

You Might Have Less Car Insurance Than You Think!
"It's awkward to ask to see your friend's driver's license, but then again you're trusting someone with your car, and if they wreck and there's no coverage, you're the one who's going to be responsible," Gusner says.
5. Exclusions for doing business
Many policies exclude coverage for any business use of the vehicle, Wilson says. Borrowing someone else's car won't help either - their personal auto policy likely won't cover your business use.
In addition, many policies exclude coverage for pizza or other delivery.
"Imagine how many pizza delivery drivers are on the road tonight without insurance," Wilson says. "This exclusion could apply to all kinds of exposures, from delivery [of] newspapers to Mary Kay cosmetics."
6. Restricted coverage for car theftSome policies exclude coverage for theft without any evidence of forced entry, Wilson says, and some don't offer coverage for upgraded and custom equipment. That can be a problem if you've made some after-market modifications to your vehicle. Wilson recommends working with an agent who understands your needs and can explain the differences between policies.

Actor Liam Neeson On Filming In Istanbul For 'Taken 2'
Actor Liam Neeson talks about shooting his new movie "Taken 2" in Istanbul, one of his favorite cities; doing a sequel to an already successful film; getting kids to experience different cultures.
Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers. When the father of one of the kidnappers swears revenge, and takes Bryan and his wife hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul, Bryan enlists Kim to help more them escape, and uses the same advanced level of special forces tactics to get his family to safety and systematically take out the kidnappers one by one.
The movie also stars Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen, Rade Serbedzija and Leland Orser.
