| It takes a village... (OR- why my 4th of July weekend sucked) | | 2008-07-07 12:37:00 | | Of idiots to ruin my 4th of July weekend. Bah.Let me just say that normally, I am a very tolerant person. I think I'm pretty nice to the people I kind of know, very nice to the people I love (but I do rule with a stern hand- sometimes an iron fist, I must say), and polite and accommodating to most strangers -unless they fall into the idiot category, then it's so on.I think that my polite kindness and my kind politeness may be considered my Achilles' heel, which makes me, in turn, a heel.I guess the best place to start would be the beginning, no? My 4th of July weekend started with me working. Hooray. People need their hot dog combos and popcorn, so I suppose someone has to do it, even if it's a holiday. It was OK though, we managed to work on the monstrosity of a swing set while the kids played on it's re-composing skeleton ( re-composing IT IS TOO a word, get over it), played in the pool and sand box... and I even grilled lunch, almost melting the grill's plastic hood.Anywho, later I | | By: Almost Somewhat Positive | | |

A seemingly land-locked bay is surrounded by mountains and lush gardens. Close to the traditional Greek village of Paleros and the magical Island of Lefkas, it's perfect for action and exploration, as well as simply relaxing.Like all the Greek resorts, Paleros has generally excellent conditions for most watersports. However the often light breezes and exceptionally calm waters of the bay make it especially suited to waterskiing and wakeboarding. Both are offered free of charge.

| | | Malay Village closed | | 2008-05-25 08:00:00 | | The Malay Village on Geylang Road has closed. I must admit I never visited this place, which has been described by many as a white elephant. Touring dusty exhibits of cooking implements and traditional games obviously couldn't attract enough visitors to make it a viable enterprise.It always seemed a little contrived to have a purpose built kampong as a tourist attraction, although I do find the kampong lifestyle enticing. I would much rather visit Pulau Ubin to get a feel of how Singapore would have been once-upon-a-time.Previously I wrote about the Malay Heritage Museum where there is a small replica kampong upstairs, and this museum is worth visiting. This museum is compact and also in a very interesting area (Kampong Glam) so it actually works in the context of its surroundings. It is important that the Malay cultural history be remembered and valued, so it is a shame that the Malay Village couldn't have been more vibrant and enticing.Did you visit the Malay Village?

Teton Village’s two iconic landmarks, the Aerial Tram and the Clock Tower, will be replaced this year with a larger, faster tram and an impressive new Clock Tower and Tram dock. In addition, Teton Village is also the home of a brand new, eco-friendly, luxury hotel that opened February 2008 and is also the site of Jackson Hole’s second five star hotel set for completion in 2010.Since Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s beginning in 1967, no two landmarks have become more renowned than the Aerial Tram and the Clock Tower. The tram, affectionately known as the “little red box,” has given JHMR a leg up on competing ski resorts because of its unique ability to take 45 skiers at a time to the top of Rendezvous Mountain – a vertical rise of 4,139 feet - in just a matter of minutes.

We played for a couple of years but babies, careers, relationships and geography kind of got in the way. In 1995 when I was living in Mexico, Laura regrouped with three other musicians to form Village Green. I found out about the band and wanted to be in it but at that time they didn't think they could use me. So I got hired by The Nettles and played high energy dance music with them for five years. Meanwhile Village Green lost their box player and vocal bottom when she moved to Hawaii. After I had parted from the Nettles, Village Green decided they wanted me after all, so for the past 2.5 years we have been reworking the arrangements a few at a time to make some space for a piper.

When we were here, we found out has a lot of change since we come this place before, it is getting much better as there are new building and they are renovated the old boardwalk. We come here sometimes when we walk on the beach or eat in the Thai restaurant.

| | Gstaad, The Romantic Mountain Village In Switzerland | | 2008-01-11 18:30:00 | | Hubby and I last January 22, 2007, we went to Gstaad. We had planned to go up to the mountain but hubby forgot his pocket, so, we have only a little money and not enough to go to up mountain to ride the cable car, so we decided just roaming arround the city.Gstaad is the Romantic Mountain Village in Switzerland. Which is also more tourist to come and look the beauty of the City. and it is also twinned expertly with Cannes – is an odd place.You’d think, from the high profile of its name, that it would be some kind of glittering Geneva-in-the-Alps, a fantastically expensive mountain paradise. Yet although its instant name recognition may effortlessly attract Europe’s royal households, celebrities galore and countless lesser hangers-on, Gstaad is in fact just a one-street village, a rather charming, attractively located place full of restored weathered-wood chalets – even if there is an overabundance of jewellery shops and furriers. Nonetheless, its high-roller status makes it a village like no other. If you fancy being snubbed by the world’s richest people, come here for Christmas week, scene of a heady round of sparkling soirées and lavish banquet-style dinner parties all but barred to ordinary mortals. Glossy magazines may advertise the town as some kind of winter wonderland, but St Moritz steals its luxury-class thunder on this score: Gstaad is really more of a place to spend the odd ten grand renting a hillside chalet and sipping champagne around town than it is somewhere you can get stuck into any serious skiing. Where Gstaad really enters into its own, prosaically enough, is as a centre from which to hike the little-known Saanenland during the summer months. | | By: Amazing life | | |
| | Village people | | 2008-01-11 06:14:25 | | Several robbers impersonating policemen have been active in Luxembourg in the last days. They wear dark clothes, baseball caps, and speak French. On the pretext of checking something inside the house (a water meter, for example), they gain access to the victim's houses and steal whatever they can.The police has warned the population about this scam, and reminded that luxembourgish police officers speak luxembourgish. In case of doubt, call the nearest police station, and don't let anyone into your house. If you don't speak luxembourgish (more then 40 % of the residents are foreigners, according to STATEC) always call the nearest police station.This language issue can put a touch of manichaeism into the whole situation: speaking luxembourgish is good; any other foreign language is bad.

| | The tragedy at mahavilachchiya E-Village. A well thought out birthday gift for Piribaharan | | 2007-12-03 03:32:45 | | Mahavilachchiya is a village in Anuradhapura, 245 km from Colombo which is surrounded by Vilpattu National Park from three sides and the children of Mahavilachchiya with Founder Mr Nandasiri Wanninayaka CEO of Horizon Lanka Foundation (HLF) are trying their best to make Mahavilachchiya a Model eVillage.The village of Mahavilachchiya got Internet connections before the village got telephone connections thanks to Mesh technology, a project, donated by UNDP. Mahavilachchiya was selected as the testing ground for Mesh technology as it was the village with the highest density of computers.Here farmers read online newspapers at home after a hard day’s work with the help of donated computers and Wifi-zones; children study English and IT after school and soon become computer geeks having their own blogs which has helped them, win laptops from donors.Kumar is a Tamil living in Mahavilachchiya. He was born and bred, and had his primary education in Kalatththewa, Anuradhapura. Guided probably by fate Kumar happened to come to Mahavilachchiya to work at a shop, there he met Mangalika, a beautiful Sinhala village girl, and it was love at first sight. He settled down at Mahavilachchiya with Mangalika and continued to support his brothers and sisters from there.Kumar missed his family, his childhood friends and many other things from his former life. But he could not leave his wife Mangalika, whom he loved dearly. So, for the last 30 odd years Kumar has been living in Mahavilachchiya.Kumar liked reading a lot and he used to read all the Tamil newspapers he could get hold of before coming to Mahavilachchiya. But now it was very difficult to find a Tamil newspaper in Mahavilachchiya. One has to go to Anuradhapura for that. Kumar could not afford to make this trip very often. So even very reluctantly, he had to say goodbye to his favorite pastime, reading newspapers.Then he found the answer, or to be more accurate, the remedy, for his loneliness with the advent of the mesh.

| | Italian Village Pizzeria | | 2007-11-27 08:27:00 | | We were actually planning to have Steve and Yael over for dinner last night. I had planned an Asian style meal of Curried Carrot Soup, Beef Skewers on a bed of Fried Rice, Garlic Baby Bok Choy. I was in the middle of cooking when Lon and I started to smell a toxic odor. It turns out that the neighboring apt was staining the floors. We tried opening all of our windows and thought maybe the smell would go away. An hour later, I was developing a headache and Lon was nauseated. I was basically done with dinner at that point but I had to pack it all up so we could take Ice (our Jack Russell) and escape.So last minute, our plan had changed, we were in a cab and on our way to Kasi's (Lon's sister) apt and we had to figure out what to do with out dinner guests. Kasi generously offered to have Steve and Yael over and so we ordered in from Italian Village Pizzeria Italian Village Pizzeria(Kasi and Stephen's regular Italian place).Kasi and Stephen love Italian Village and Yael was really happ | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

(About 10 minutes drive from Hotel Equatorial) Basically the village looks like ordinary malay village, the structure also doesn’t represent the culture of Portuguese. You will not notice this if you miss the signage “Portuguese Village”. The only picture I snap is this San Pedro Devils Curry Restaurant. N2°11.018 E102°16.031

| | Tower Village Becoming Toys "R" Us | | 2007-08-14 18:48:00 | | I was in Greenwich Village yesterday, and I walked past my old haunt, the old Tower Records store on East 4th Street and Broadway (pictured). It has been empty since last December 22, when the chain officially closed for good. I had been wondering who was going to take over that very valuable piece of real estate. Yesterday I finally found out who will.I saw a sign in the window on Broadway that said that Toys "R" Us will be taking over, and they will be "open in time for the holidays." I would guess it will be up and running by late November, around Thanksgiving.I will definitely check out the new store when it does open. I would also bet it will be one of the more surreal experiences of my life when I do walk in there.I thought Tower would be there forever. I was proven wrong. | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |
