Your Best Body

As summer quickly approaches, clients and friends ask me the best way to stay in shape.

The DVD has 20 minute segments of Cardio, Body Sculpting and Yoga, so that you can customize your workout to meet your goals.

Dental and Vision Insurance ? You Shouldn't Have One Without the ...

Submitted by aminak924 ? about 7 mins ago Website: www.dentalforeveryone.com

OK, so there's no law that says you have to go out and buy dental and vision insurance at the same time, but it's a really smart way to do things.

Travel + Leisure: America's Worst-Dressed People (PHOTOS)

When it comes to dress sense, what's worse: layer upon bulky layer of long underwear and puffy coats? Flashy, barely-there outfits? Or downright sloppiness?

Travel + Leisure readers rated major destinations in categories including style for the annual America's Favorite Cities survey -- and the results confirm that city dwellers fall short of fashionable in myriad ways. But it's Anchorage that earned the dubious honor of No. 1 worst-dressed city in America.

That's no surprise to Dr. Miriam Jones, a paleoclimatologist who has traveled in and out of Anchorage "too many times to count" during a two-year research stint.

"It's not uncommon to see oversized parkas with fur-lined hoods and bunny boots," she says. "And people aren't alarmed when a person wearing a ski mask enters a room." In Alaska, she adds, men sport beards and flannel in the most unironic way possible: to keep frostbite at bay and their appendages attached.

Dressing well certainly has an element of personal taste, and this survey is based on visitors' perceptions, not scientific fact. So, did T+L readers deem your city to be one of America's worst dressed? Read on to find out, and feel free to defend local fashions in the comments.

No. 10 Kansas City, MO

America's No. 1 city for barbecue does not a fashionista make. Kansas City residents are among some of our nation's friendliest, and they can school anyone and everyone about the intricacies of grilling, but it looks like they're lost when it comes to putting together an outfit. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/12" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: Ann Shields
No. 9 Phoenix/Scottsdale

Here's a hint: if a city has a <a href="http://www.heard.org/currentexhibits/BolaTies.html" target="_hplink">museum exhibit</a> dedicated to the bolo tie, it's not going to be fashion forward. The official neckwear of Arizona (yes, that's a thing) is enjoying a comeback. But sunny Phoenix made the top 10 for spring break destinations -- when attire is almost beside the point. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/11" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: iStock
No. 8 Portland, ME

With some of the most limited shopping options in America and one of its least diverse populations, Portland isn't where you come to try on cutting-edge clothing. But that's just fine because the city slays the competition in other areas, placing first in five survey categories, including best summer destination and best drivers. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/10" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: Courtesy of Greater Portland Convention & Visitors Bureau
No. 7 Atlanta

If the flashy reality-TV stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta are at all indicative of how the rest of Atlanta dresses, it's no wonder our readers ranked it as America's No. 7 least-stylish city. Hotlanta has one of the highest per capita incomes of any southern city, but as the TV show illustrates and the saying goes: money can't buy taste. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/9" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: iStock
No. 6 Dallas/Fort Worth

Bigger seems to always be better in the Dallas/Fort Worth area; just take one look at the infamously over-the-top JumboTron at the Cowboys Stadium. And when it comes to getting dressed, big hair, conspicuous designer labels and slick snakeskin boots are the norm. "Less is more" is not a phrase heard round these parts. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/8" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: iStock
No. 5 San Antonio, TX

San Antonio is known for rodeos not runways. Take the famous San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, a three-week extravaganza at which you won't feel comfortable unless you're suited up in western attire -- from your head (one of those sweet hats) to your toes (cowboy boots). <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/7" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: Carol Barrington/SACVB
No. 4 Orlando

Orlando was voted the No. 1 family vacation destination, so visitors were likely focused on people seen around the theme parks, which aren't exactly crowded with fashionistas -- enduring Disney World's winding lines in stilettos would be crazy. The city did win raves for its weather and variety of hotel options. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/6" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: Ian Dagnall / Alamy
No. 3 Baltimore

In a city judged to have fairly offbeat residents, there are bound to be questionable fashion choices. Case in point: the Baltimore Hons, a group of people who sport the '50s cat-eye-glasses look with gusto. Some visitors have their sights focused elsewhere, anyway, using Baltimore as a convenient, affordable base for day trips (ranked No. 12). <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/5" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: iStock
No. 2 Salt Lake City

Voters rated Salt Lake City one of the top 10 quietest cities in the nation and praised it for affordability and cleanliness. But T+L readers didn't equate those squeaky-clean locals with fashion-forward ways -- perhaps because, male or female, there are only so many ways to rock a polo shirt. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/4" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: Danita Delimont / Alamy
No. 1 Anchorage

In chilly Anchorage, the dress code leans toward practicality rather than fashion, and many residents teeter through the streets bundled as tightly as Randy, the kid brother in "A Christmas Story." Fashion trends take longer to reach this hinterland, but travelers are happy to make the trek regardless -- especially in summer -- and rated the city No. 4 for peace and quiet. <a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-worst-dressed-people/3" target="_hplink">See More of America's Worst-Dressed People</a> Photo: Nigel Hicks / Alamy

Serena loses in 1st round of major for 1st time

PARIS (AP) ? Serena Williams lost in the first round of a major tournament for the first time in her career, falling to Virginie Razzano of France 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 Tuesday at the French Open.

The fifth-seeded Williams was two points from victory several times in the second set, including leading 5-1 in the tiebreaker. But Razzano won six straight points to force a third set, and then took control of the match.

"I made so many errors today, which isn't the game I was playing in the past," Williams said. "That's life."

Williams entered the day with a 46-0 record in first-round matches at Grand Slam tournaments. She had been looking for her 14th major title, and second at Roland Garros.

The 13-time Grand Slam champion had five break points in the final game, but she couldn't convert.

"I was just thinking, if I can break here we'll be back on serve," Williams said.

Razzano saved all five, and then converted her eighth match point to eliminate one of the tournament favorites.

"I had to dig deep against a great champion and you could see until the end that she gave away nothing," Razzano said. "I had to go and get the victory. I had to be mentally strong, and I gave my everything."

Earlier, Rafael Nadal began his quest for a record seventh French Open title in style, wearing a pink shirt and pink shoelaces.

He won easily, too.

The second-seeded Spaniard had little trouble against Simone Bolelli of Italy, winning 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 on Court Philippe Chatrier ? the same stadium where Nadal has won six of his 10 Grand Slam titles.

Nadal, who is tied with Bjorn Borg with six French Open titles, improved his record to 46-1 at Roland Garros. His only loss came in the fourth round in 2009, against Robin Soderling.

He's not worried about the record just yet, though.

"We are in the second round," Nadal said. "I have enough work to do thinking about the next round, and not think about if Bjorn will be here or if I'm going to play the final. That's day-by-day and we'll see."

Against Bolelli, Nadal made only 18 unforced errors, fewer than half as many as his opponent. From 2-2 in the first set, Nadal won eight straight games to take control.

"I think I did what I had to do today," Nadal said. "I played probably with less stress or nerves than in other first rounds in the past."

And after a short blip in the second set, Nadal won eight of the last nine games.

"I tried to play aggressive with the forehand, with the serve, but today I miss a lot," Bolelli said. "He's strong. I mean, I didn't have a chance to make the match even."

Fourth-seeded Andy Murray also advanced, beating Tatsuma Ito of Japan 6-1, 7-5, 6-0.

Maria Sharapova was nearly perfect in her match, winning all 12 games to produce a "double bagel." And Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova advanced by beating junior Wimbledon champion Ashleigh Barty 6-1, 6-2.

Sharapova routed Alexandra Cadantu of Romania 6-0, 6-0 on Court Suzanne Lenglen, needing just 48 minutes to advance to the second round. She finished the match with 18 winners, while Cadantu had zero, but had to save three break points.

"No matter how good or bad they're playing, you still have to win that match," Sharapova said. "It's always about who takes their chances."

Sharapova, who lost in this year's Australian Open final, is looking to complete a career Grand Slam by winning the title at Roland Garros.

The Russian has won the other three Grand Slam titles, but she has never reached the final at Roland Garros. Last year, however, she equaled her best result by making the semifinals.

"I feel like with every year I have improved and I enjoy it much more," Sharapova said. "I think I learn a lot more about the game and the point construction. I feel like I'm moving a lot better than I did years previously, which has helped me a lot in the recovery process within the point."

She moved well enough against Cadantu, a 22-year-old Romanian who was making her French Open debut.

"For me, to have that big crowd, it was a lot," Cadantu said after playing on the second biggest stadium at Roland Garros. "I enjoyed it a lot."

Kvitova lost the opening game in her match against the 16-year-old Barty, but then won six straight in the first set and again raced through the second set despite being broken once.

"She has a big serve with kicks and good forehand," Kvitova said of the Australian teen. "She has very good touch."

The left-handed Czech won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last year, and then won the WTA Championships. Although she has yet to win a title in 2012, she is seeded fourth at Roland Garros and is expected to make it deep into the tournament.

Barty is the youngest player in the draw at the French Open, one of only eight teenagers entered. The Australian received a wild-card invitation to compete in Paris.

"It was tough out there today," Barty said. "I didn't play my best tennis, but she didn't allow me to. I was out there giving it my all, but unfortunately just didn't come out on top today."

The oldest player in the draw, 41-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan, lost to 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy 6-3, 6-1.

The ?Facebook phone?

Posted by William Judd on 27 Apr 2012 / 5 Comments

According to the?DigiTimes, HTC and Facebook are working on a ?Facebook phone?, saying that the HTC hardware would be paired with ?a platform exclusive to Facebook?.

This would be the third handset the two companies have collaborated on after the ChaCha and Salsa handsets, which featured a dedicated Facebook button and OS-level Facebook integration. These earlier devices were well liked by social media enthusiasts, but were a bit handicapped with too little RAM and processing power. Could we see a Facebook phone that ships with Android 4.0 and more powerful hardware ? maybe even some Beats branded?HTC headphones?for those young kids? These weren?t?HTC One V accessories, but it still could happen as HTC looks to shore up some weak Q1 results.

This next collaboration might even by branded with the Facebook name, something that Mark Zuckerburg argued against when the first two Facebook phones were just a rumour. For that reason, it seems a bit less likely that we?ll see a Facebook phone, as Facebook will want to appear neutral and not favouring any one platform over another, but it could happen I suppose.

faithtuppers - Once your face is on Facebook ? Business ...

After you?ve nailed down your basics (photo, where you?re from, where you live now, where you work, and anything else you don?t mind the world knowing), go to the little arrow in the upper right and click on Privacy Settings. There you can decide on your default privacy setting and edit your settings.

The easiest and safest way to go is with ?friends only.? Presumably, you know who these people are because you ?friended? them. If you feel daunted by the choices, keep in mind that they?ll make more sense after you?ve used Facebook awhile.

Periodically revisit your privacy settings and see if you want to tinker with them. Not only will your own preferences have changed, but Facebook will have changed, too?and don?t worry, your friends will let you know when that happens.

After your initial time investment, you can increase or decrease the time you spend on Facebook according to the same basic self-control mechanisms you use for anything.

Facebook doesn?t have to be a black hole?it?s relevant as a leadership tool because it increases your visibility.

First, decide how personal your personal page will be: snapshots of family outings? Your favorite leadership quotes? Second, do a little reading on social media. Third, bring in professionals when creating a Facebook page for your organization.

What not to do: Don?t post goofy, negative or risky stuff. Word gets around.

What to do: Offer encouragement to your staff. Share relevant trade news, especially positive press. Work closely with your social media team. Trumpet your pride in your people.

How To Save Money On Your Cruise Booking ~ TRAVEL LEISURE ...

e-bruxelles-city.com - Cruise Lines generally finalize their ship itineraries from 12 to 18 months before sailing day and the earlier you book a better chance you have for the "early booking discounts".

Another way to get a reasonable discount is a "last minute booking".? The risk here is that your choices of itineraries will be limited as well as ship and cabin choices.

Cruise lines often have a lot of cancellations just prior to the start of their penalty period. If significant enough, the cruise line will likely offer an unannounced fire sale for a day or two to try and fill the space.

If you request a specific date, don?t get upset when you hear the price. Check the price a week earlier or later and you may save several hundred dollars. Find a way to adjust your schedule.

A good travel agent should be asking you for the necessary information to get the best deal from the cruise line.? The lines are always running specials for particular groups and particular time frames. Discounts are often available for teachers, honeymooners, family reunions, seniors, frequent cruisers, groups and military personnel.

Large discount agencies will often make a significant investment in booking Group Space on a particular cruise. This means they have a lower price locked in, while an individual booking may be higher by hundreds of dollars.

You will Never Pay Brochure Price. Cruise lines all issue gorgeous, glossy brochures with "sample" pricing but consider those prices to be about as accurate as those per-day hotel rates posted on the back of your room's door.

Cruise lines have adapted to Homeland (Homeport) Cruising from ports in cities all along the U.S. coastline. This includes itineraries that sail to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Mexican Riviera, Canada and New England, and Alaska. No need to tack on the cost of an airline ticket to more traditional send-off port cities, like Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and San Juan, when you can take a train, a bus or your car.

Surf the Web Before you Book to gather information or you can act as your own travel agent, from selecting a cabin to booking a cruise. The internet is a great place to shop around and gather tips.

Use your Frequent Flyer Miles to pay for your airfare when traveling a great distance to the ship.? It is risky but if you arrive a day early, you probably won?t miss your ship?s sailing.

There are Cruises available in all price ranges, from budget to luxury and all represent perhaps the best value for your vacation dollar.

When traveling with a family, you might consider two regular cabins instead of a Suite for all family members.

Last minute sailings are a thing of the past.? Because of heightened security since Sept. 11, 2001, it is no longer possible to stand by on sailing day. Most lines now require at least 48 hours lead time for bookings, but these days, a week or two in advance of sailing is regarded as last-minute. Check the Web sites of cruise lines and cruise-line booking agencies, which often have space available for flexible travelers. The plus/minus: You may get a good price, but the most desirable cabins may be booked.

Ask for a ?Category Guarantee? booking. This means that you can purchase the specific cabin category on the ship but a stateroom will not be assigned immediately. You will find out the stateroom number at the pier or in advance. You will never receive a cabin in a category less than the category booked and there is a chance for an upgrade to a higher category which means a better cabin at no additional cost.

At specific times during the year you will find great deals. The end of August through to Thanksgiving, when school is back in season will be less expensive. But it is also the time when there will be more children on board. The sailings just before Christmas, but not over the holidays and early January, right after the holidays are always a bargain.

For Alaska, the early and late season months of May, early June, and September offers the biggest savings. If you travel during these ?book end? periods it's often possible to pay half of what you'd pay for an equivalent cruise in July or August.

All the cruise lines will be running EXTRA SPECIAL discounts during these periods.

One-way REPOSITIONING CRUISES are excellent values, when ships move to new bases. These occur twice a year: In spring, ships relocate from Florida and the Caribbean to Europe and Alaska. In fall, they move in the reverse direction. Most voyages run 14 to 17 days.? Keep in mind that there will be fewer ports of call and more sea days on repositioning cruises.

Cruise agencies will often book blocks of cabins from the cruise lines called Group Bookings. An agent that has one of those blocks for your sailing date can give you a better rate than one that does not.? This explains the public appearance of disparity in rates for the same cruise among Travel Agents.

?No matter how good of a price you have gotten on your cruise, ask to be put on the upgrade list.? Give them a good reason, such as checking out the ship for a future family reunion.

Cruise Auctions should be investigated. Do your homework.? Of course eBay Cruise Auctions is the auction GIANT but you should consider skyauction.com also.

Now that you know how to get the best price on your cruise, Set Sail!
