AboutUS By Hotspotorlando
Sometimes when I look back I can’t see the end, there is so much! I consider myself a blessed person in many ways, but I think the biggest talent I have is to dive in deep and embrace life as it comes. You can’t live without embracing every moment. If you go to the beach, you can’t just sit on the sand and get dirty, you have to get wet, swim, walk in the water do it all, even play ! This is how life is, a long diving experience where you learn from everything, everyday, and nobody can or will take that away from you.
SANDY HOOK SCHOOL .We regret to see them going away so soon, learn more, love more,before they could get to embrace life in full. My sincere sadness to see parents, embracing a pain that will not stop screaming in their hearts, and endure a suffering that will probably never go away. There are no words to describe our impotency to negligent Government, or a System that is blind to the people’s rights in favor of money and bribery. There is only one way to see and feel this, you already have felt it.
I feel very sad when I see life that ends too One day maybe we will no longer have to see this crimes, feel this pain or suffer the losses, early, or a life wasted away.
because they will probably learn that life is the most precious gift God has trusted us with, I choose quality over quantity, real instead of and no matter what, the consequence to eachdenial, and always the truth. Real quality of error committed by Government or Civilians life can never be measured, and I don’t think always reflects in everyone’s lives. we should try to measure it. A life is as precious for only one reason, it is ours, yours and So from my heart to yours, embrace it, live it, mine, we have but we don’t own it, and as long be happy, make someone happy, and love, love as we are here in dominion of it, we should as much as you can, those that deserve your make it count ! love and your passion, so you will always be remembered by your legacy of love.

KINGS first opened its doors in 2003 in the heart of Boston’s historic Back Bay. KINGS’ goal was to focus on recapturing and rekindling the fun and escape of bowling which had faded since its heyday. The 1950’s and 1960’s are considered to be the golden age of bowling and KINGS’ award-winning design and décor captures this nostalgic feeling, while adding modern twists. From the start, KINGS set out to create a unique and memorable entertainment experience by emphasizing world-class food, cold beer, creative cocktails, cutting edge technology and great music. The focus is on classic, retro-inspired décor and executive chef-designed menus brought to life by best-in-industry service. In doing so, KINGS sparked the modern day bowling renaissance and carved a name for itself as the original “boutique bowling” venue, which has revitalized the sport across America.
ing bar will take great delight in innovative and engaging tables fitted with beer taps where they can pour the perfect pint at their own pace. KINGS Orlando will be further differentiated by transforming into an adults-only experience after dark. By day, families with children can bowl and savor homemade ice cream and other treats. At 6 p.m, general public admission moves to adults only, ages 21 and above. “Bowling has always been a great social sport and Kings has reinvented the experience for a new generation,” says Patrick Lyons, president and founder of the Lyons Group and KINGS Bowl America. “Serious ten-pin athletes will relish our ultramodern lanes and roomy player accommodations, while even the most ‘gutter-prone’ will appreciate our chef’s delicious fare and our thoughtful menu of craft beers and signature cocktails.” The Lyons Group leadership team is backed by more than 100 years of combined entertainment industry experience with a track record of innovation and success. The group is credited with re-energizing Boston’s nightlife scene over three decades with more than 30 dining, nightclub and entertainment venues in its growing portfolio.
From the moment they set foot inside KINGS, guests will know that they are in for an experience unlike any other. A hip, retro-inspired vibe and grooving soundtrack will greet them as they navigate between a friendly evening at the lanes, great food in the restaurant and socializing in KINGS’ lounge bar that translates to an open outdoor café experience on the stylish, full-service patio. Committed sports fans can catch all of the action at KINGS’ massive sports bar boasting 60 HDTVs and projectors and a real-time KINGS Orlando will offer a first-class dining and ensports ticker.

In her last installation program she quoted French Philosopher Jean Paul Sartre
“
I am immanence without transcendence. I am a pure stream of consciousness without any contents. I am an absolute transparency without opacity. I am no more than the temporal unity of my life which means-a pure self-contained flow that no alien element can interrupt or contaminate� In a collection inspired by a play written by Jean Paul Sartre during the Algerian war in 1965, Fatima Lotfi Rice, Brazilian, from Sao Paulo, an artist, graphic designer and also the Lead Studio Artist for Typography and Page Layout at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, presented a great collection named Les

As Associate Course Director in 2005 she developed the content for their first-ever class in Typography & Page Layout, teaching until the present day. Fatima is a very special Brazilian, filled with great creative sense and talent. Someone that you hold dear forever. After almost two years, Fatima returns with a different collection full of color in a exquisite combination and innovative technique, resulting in a very unexpected, beautiful visual experience.

A melhor descoberta sobre arte, e’ que ela sempre evolve, pois o espirito do artista e’ livre e nunca fica parado.

The best discovery about art is that it always evolves because the spirit of the artist is free and never stays in one place The imagination flies, and travels to other dimensions, seeking inspiration, and travels until it 'finds what is looking for.This is how Soco is, always flying high, trying to innovate, exceed her talent, and overcome what has passed. Picasso said

CHILE Was born in San Miguel, Santiago (Chile) in the spring of 1960 to a middle class family. My mother is Fresia Pino, an exceptional woman. At age seven I used to love music and painting. When I was in elementary school I had to create a painted drawing at home as an assignment, so I painted a carnation. It came out beautiful but nobody believed that I had painted it and the teacher gave me a 0 for being a liar.
DJ in a club where there were dancers, singers, and comedians every night of the week. During the day I used to visit my uncles and one of them was neighbors with Pacheco Altamirano and I started to visit him and watched him paint. At age 19 I started to sell Raúl Vergara paintings, who I used to watch him paint as well. I made a living selling paintings for at least 7 months., then I realized that in order to sell paintings fast, one has to paint flowers, birds, sceneries, the ocean, nothing specific but instead functional to match with furniture, and for people that don’t know much about art and only like the pretty stuff.
My mother had to speak to the principal they gave me a 0 anyway. Chile was under Dictatorship when I was about 13 years old and my mother was detained, she had to stay in the hospital for a month where she worked. She was accused of having links with the government of Salvador Allende, who had been overthrown.
At age twenty I decided to paint my first two paintings that were 25 x 20 cm. It took me a week and they were traditional countryside sceneries. I went in a bank with my two paintings and I asked to speak to the president of the bank and in five minutes I sold them to him. He even asked me to bring him more so he could buy for his family. For that reason her name was placed in With that money my wife bought faba black list and was never able to get a ric and wood in order to create canvas good job. She was labeled and marked since it was cheaper. as a political criminal. Our household was turned upside down and we were I started to DJ only on Saturdays and I financially devastated.

day and night. I don’t believe in those painters that just want to paint and starve and have no place to live and even have families because they are just irresponsible and selfish. Two years later I remembered that I used to paint and visit all the museums that I could and I went to Soho. There they had their own painters. They all sold oleo graphic copies and imitations at original prices, and I felt as if I was getting a zero if people did not see what I could do as a painter.

Jaime is a happy man, with a great family and a vibrant personality. He asked me what I thought about his paints and I said “ they are very sensual”, and he said to me, and why do you think we are all here? And he is so right. Regardless of any of us think or do, sensuality is a part of our life, some people more than others, or they just don’t talk about it, but it is there, every day, everywhere. His paintings are gourgeous, sensual, full of message, nothing hidden, it is a message of love, secrets and many words, because everything starts from the lips, to the hips. A smile, a word, a confession, or a lie and here Jaime shows the he sees a woman sensuality in full.

O biociência se desenvolve através da técnica e da aplicação da ferramenta de criatividade biônica. O processo de criação é aplicado através da busca na natureza analisando formas interes-santes e inusitadas como inspiração para formular o desenho do produto. A natureza é povoada por um mundo invisível em constante mutação, são as flores que se multiplicam aparecendo em contornos e detalhes, são os estudos de botânica, apresentando relevos em texturas inesperadamente magníficas. É a fauna fantástica, vista em um ângulo mais apurado que refletem nas formas, cores e texturas projetadas em produtos com design orgânico que despertam o desejo de consumo.
Patricia Moura – Biodesigner
cria suas receitas para experiências com seus amigos, que são suas “cobaias”. Criar na cozinha tem sido seu programa favorito, mas também sempre gosta de criar e produzir sua própria moda, assim, em meados de 2003 participou de alguns cursos de bijuteria. Quando teve oportunidade de começar a comercia-lizar os acessórios que fazia, mostrou seu trabalho, (na época produzidos com material convencional), a uma amiga coordenadora de uma escola de design de joias na Itália, e ela sugeriu que observasse a matéria prima natural, uma tendência mundial. Assim, em 2004 começou a trabalhar com estes insumos e nunca mais parou, publicando em 2008 o seu primeiro CD-ROM
“
Uma Viagem ao Universo Natural das Biojoias” que é resultado de dois anos de pesquisas apresentando a matéria prima natural usada nos acessórios e onde também abordou alguns temas e apresentou conceitos dentro dos princípios da sustentabilidade. Uma espécie de guia para os que desejam se iniciar nessa área e que serviu como refe-rência bibliográfica para a cartilha lançada pelo Sebrae Nacional “Ideia de Negócios: Produção de Biojoias”

Sustentabilidade é um tema super novo na história da humanidade e nesses últimos quinze anos é assunto cada vez mais debatido, inicialmente pelas faixas com maior acesso à informação, mas pouco a pouco vai se popularizando através da informação, seja pelos veículos de comunicação, seja através da educação, desde a infantil à universitária e pouco a pouco a população vai agregando novos hábitos ao seu cotidiano. Estamos sim em transformação acelerada, rejeitando valores antigos e abertos a novas atitudes. É preciso agir com urgência e sabedoria, mas também é preciso ter paciência, afinal, não se muda radicalmente o mundo e seus hábitos seculares em 20, 30 anos. Os líderes governamentais precisam agir globalmente, enquanto nós terráqueos devemos agir localmente. Faço isso em meu cotidiano, nas minhas capacitações, nas feiras, por aonde vou tento plantar sementinhas da ideia, sem alardes, sem ser “eco chata”, com simplicidade e fico maravilhada em situações como as que vivi nesses dias. Duas de minhas alunas do atual projeto social que participo, ambas mulheres simples, com pouco estudo e de baixa renda, me presentearacom objetos feitos a partir do descarte de garrafas pet. Um porta trecos e uma cadeirinha porta agulhas. Super úteis. Na aula seguinte, pedi que levassem garrafas e ganhamos uma aula de como fazer os potes. Todas aprenderam, muitas já reusam as garrafas, o que significa menos lixo no planeta. A aluna que me presenteou com o potinho de pet se sentiu constrangida com o presente simples, porque me julgava “chique” para usar algo feito a partir do reuso de pet. Expliquei para ela que era justamente o contrário, ser chique hoje é ter uma atitude correta como a dela e ao final, ela entendeu que ambas,
eu e ela, somos chiques, porque respeitamos o ambiente em que vivemos. Definitivamente, os conceitos estão mudando e a sustentabilidade não é uma ideia inerte. Sou, pessoalmente comprometida com os princípios da sustentabilidade, é natural que esse pensamento também esteja a vida profissional. Não consigo imaginar mais a minha vida sem esse comprometimento socioambiental. Como artista, gosto de criar a beleza e me emociona desenvolver peças que não são apenas belas, mas cheias de valor agregado. Tenho consciência da importância de meu papel na cadeia produtiva que se inicia nas regiões florestais e que mantém lá, através do trabalho com a coleta e beneficiamento de sementes e outros insumos, os povos daquela região e que se fecha com meu cliente de qualquer parte do mundo, usando uma peça assinada por mim. Acho incrível o fato de poder agregar na minha criação, a matéria prima enriquecida por histórias de muitas vidas que, de alguma forma, se encontram no caminhar dessa cadeia produtiva. Há uma intensa energia nisso, meus clientes mais atentos percebem isso. Eu vibro por viver disso e com isso. Como funciona seu processo de criação? Simples. Primeiro pesquiso o tema, na maioria das vezes ligado a alguma proposta ambiental, como o exemplo da ONU. Por exemplo, mantive por dois anos (2008/ 2009), o tema “Fibras” nas quatro coleções apresentadas, como homenagem ao Ano Internacional das Fibras Naturais”. No ano passado, minha coleção foi inspirada no Ano Internacional das Florestas: “Coleção Primitiva”. A partir daí pesquiso a matéria prima central da coleção e assim desenvolvo as peças.

Quantas coleções você já lançou? Até 2010 eram duas por ano. Em 2011 optei por não seguir o ritmo alucinado da moda. Não combina com minha proposta de trabalho e filosofia de vida correr tanto, não vejo sentido. Agora lanço uma coleção anual que vai ganhando cores e formas de acordo com cada estação, mas sempre com a proposta de desenvolver peças atemporais, que não serão encostadas/ descartadas a cada mudança de estação.
São tantos que tenho medo de ficar velhinha e não dar conta de tudo... mas neste momento tenho me concentrado nos cursos de capacitação. Adoro essa parte de meutrabalho, já capacitava grupos sociais voluntariamente há mais de sete anos e agora também atuo profissionalmente nesse setor, que fortalece a cada dia.

Design Bio - Bio jewelry The biodesign is developed through technique and bionic creativity toll applications. The creation process is applied through the search in nature analyzing unusual and interesting ways as inspiration to formulate the design product. Nature is populated by an unseen world constantly changing, the flowers are appearing in contours and details, in the studies of botany, showing unexpectedly and magnificent textures. It's a fantastic fauna, seen at an angle to reflect more accurate shapes, colors and textures designed for products with organic design that has motivated its consumption. Presintin Patricia Moura - Biodesigner From Alagoas (BR), artist (painter) and chef , carrying both activities, who in 2003 returned to Recife, where she lived for ten years during her childhood. She has a strong love relationship with the State that inspires everything: painting, gastronomy and production of accessories. For lack of time, she left the painting and gastronomy and today she creates her recipes only to test them with her friends, that are her "guinea pigs".
In 2008 published the CD-ROM "A Trip to the Natural Universe -Biojóias" which is the result of two years of research showing the natural raw material used in accessories and where she also addressed some issues and concepts presented within the principles of sustainability. A sort of guide for those wishing to start in this area and who served as bibliographic reference to the booklet released by Sebrae National "Business Idea: Production of biojóias" For Patricia Moura, sustainability is a good set of actions that seek to promote a healthy and harmonious relationship between man and the environment, actions that restore and recognize the quality of life, the individual and rethink a new formed relationship with the planet. I find many people complaining the slow process, but I'm very optimistic about the urgent and necessary changes. Sustainability is a theme super new in human history and these last fifteen years have increasingly debated the subject, initially for tracks of greater access to information, but little by little it became more popular through information, either by the media, whether through education, from kindergarten to university and little by little the population is adding to their habits everyday.

Simple. First researching the subject, in most cases connected to some environmental proposal, such as in the UN for example, kept for two years (2008/2009), the theme "fibers" in the four collections presented as tribute to the Natural Fibers International Year " Last year, my collection was inspired by the Forestry International Year: "Primitive Collection." Thereafter researching the feedstock central collection and thus developing parts. How many collections have you released? By 2010 there were two per year. In 2011 I chose not to follow the manic fashion. It does not suit my proposed work and philosophy of life runing so much, I do not see the direction. Now throw a collection annually, winning colors and shapes according to each season, but always with the proposal to develop timeless pieces that do not will be discarded every change of season. What is the origin of the materials you use? Most comes from the northern region of Brazil, but I find a lot at suppliers in Recife, whether in assembly shops, home furnishing stores or public markets. How do you get involved in the production process? 100%. I create each piece that takes my name and where contract labor is to produce parts of pieces. The final work is always mine. I like taking care of details of the finish. Not being a big company, it is possible to produce so controlling the process, maintain the pattern. Where parts are sold? 100%! Here in Recife, in my shop at the Espaço Cultural-Hora do Passo, na rua Dom Estevão Brioso, 72, Boa Viagem (segunda rua a esquerda após o restaurante Entre Amigos). Em São Paulo, no Espaço Moda do Futuro. In Brazilian sites as sustainable fashion the www.ekochik.com.br, American www.bethecofriendly.com. Besides these, I export to Germany,
England and France and eventually to stores in Canada, Japan, Turkey, Australia, Portugal, Uruguay, among other countries. What are your plans for the future? So many that I'm afraid of getting an old lady and not realize them all ... but I'm currently focused on training courses. I love that part of my work that has enabled social groups voluntarily for more than seven years til now. Also I work professionally in this sector, which strengthens every day. Besides acting as consultant to the Center of Pernambuco Design, developing particularly training courses with 12 hours of lessons for small groups of up to six people with special training and 20 hours of classes. I've been meeting from students from other Brazilian states for training and traveled to some Brazilian states for training in social projects. A fascinating work. Besides the creation of biojóias, capabilities in the production of bio-jewels are strongly embedded in my future plans. I have ideas to develop a cool project and I want to take it out in the world.

ENTRE AMIGOS! Estamos no mês de fevereiro, para nos aqui na América o mês do Valentines Day, mas no Brasil, comemoramos a maior festa do mundo (pelo menos na opinião do povo) O CARNAVAL……Passei os melhores anos da minha vida na terra do frevo, pois nasci em Pernambuco, e para mim o melhor carnaval ainda continua sendo o de lá, muito rico culturalmente, como os Caboclos de Lança, A La Ursa, Homem da Meia Noite, A Mulher do dia, Cabloquinhos, etc…. e frevo……muito frevo!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh que coisa boa…….Me lembro que os blocos passavam na rua em frente a minha casa, e saiamos atras deles dançando, e depois andávamos tudo de volta, para daqui a pouco seguir mais um.
gregos realizavam. Seus cultos em agradecimento aos Deuses pela fertilidade do solo e pela produção. Posteriormente os gregos e Romanos inseriram bebidas e praticas sexuais na festa, tornando-a intolerável aos olhos da Igreja. Porem com o Passar do tempo, o carnaval foi adotado pela Igreja, o que ocorreu de fato em 590 DC. Pois ate então era uma Festa condenada considerada pecaminosa
A partir da sua adoção pela Igreja, passou a ser comemorado através De cultos oficiais o que bania os “atos pecaminosos”. Em 1545, durante o Concilio de Trento, o carnaval voltou a ser uma festa popular, em 1723 o Carnaval chegou ao Brasil, com influencia europeia, e basicamente ocorriam desfiles de pessoas mascaradas e somente no seculo XIX que os Os carnavais que trago na memoria, ainda são blocos carnavalescos surgiram com carros deaqueles que íamos fazer Corso (que era um corados e pessoas fantasiadas de forma sedesfile (congestionamento de carros na Rua melhante a de hoje. da Imperatriz do Sol, Av.

Por Elita Freitas O Carnaval de Viareggio e’ caracterizado por carros alegóricos que desfilam nos domingos entre janeiro e fevereiro, e possuem enormes esculturas de papier-mache, que retrataram caricaturas de homens famosos no campo da politica, cultura e entretenimento, cujos traços característicos, são sublinhados com sátira e ironia. Os carros desfilam ao longo do passeio Viareggio.
o entrudo foi trazido pelos portugueses para a então colônia do Brasil e em finais do século XVIII era já praticado por todo o território. Consistia em brincadeiras e folguedos que variavam conforme os locais e os grupos sociais envolvidos. Com a mudança da corte portuguesa para o Rio de Janeiro, surgiram as primeiras tentativas de civilizar a festa carnavalesca brasileira, através da importação dos bailes e dos passeios mascarados parisienses, colocando o Entrudo Popular sob forte controle policial. A partir do ano de 1830, uma serie de proibições vão se suceder na tentativa, sempre infrutífera, de acabar com a festa grosseira.

Outros símbolos famosos do evento são as mascaras de drama, a flor de LIS e os colares de continhas. A tradição de nudez do Carnaval de Nova Orleans foi primeiro documentada em 1889, com mulheres mostrando os seios. E hoje e famoso por isso, onde as mulheres, geralmente universitárias, mostram os seios e em troca ganham os colares de continhas. CARNAVAL NO BRASIL Comemorado em Portugal desde o seculo XV,
Também existem os bailes de carnaval, realizados em clubes, ou em áreas publicas abertas, com execução de musicas carnavalescas. O carnaval de rua manteve suas tradições originais na região Nordeste do Brasil. Em cidades como Recife e Olinda, as pessoas saem as ruas durante o carnaval no ritmo do frevo e do maracatu.

We are in the month of February, here in America is the month of Valentines Day, but in Brazil, we celebrate the biggest party in the world The Carnaval ! I spent the best years of my life in the land of frevo because I was born in Pernambuco, and for me the best carnaval yet. It is where it remains a very rich cultural celebration, as Caboclos Boom, A La Ursa, Midnight Man, Mulheres do Dia, Cabloquinhos, etc .... and frevo! Lots of frevo! Ahhhhh ....... good thing that I remember all the groups that went by the street near my house,we would go out dancing behind them, and then walked all the way back home , to repeat everything again, over and over.
performed. They worship the gods in thanks for soil fertility and production. Later the Greeks and Romans inserted alcohol and sexual practices in the party, making it intolerable in the eyes of the Church. However with the passing time, the carnival was adopted by the Church, what actually happened in 590 AD. Until then, Carnival was a convicted Party considered sinful.
Since its adoption by the Church, became ce lebrated through worship making it official the banning of all the "sinful acts". In 1545, during the Council of Trent, the carnival was again a popular festival, then in 1723 went to Brazil with European influences, and basically occurred The carnivals that I bring in the memory, even with parades and masked people and only in the those who are going to Corso (which was a pa- nineteenth century the carnival came with decorade that caused a congestion of cars in the Sun rated cars and costumed similarly to today.

Aproveitando um momento propício, enquanto estamos pesando o assunto relevância, vamos dar uma parada e fazer uma avaliação singela de nossos passos mais recentes ... vamos observar com que atenção estamos tratando o assunto relevância em nosso caminho, em nossa vida!
A auto disciplina, a escolha de como melhor direcionar nossa atenção, é frequentemente traida e boicotada pela perda do rumo, pela atratividade do pensamento menor, do assunto banal, sem importância, que carrega nosso pensamento, mesmo sem o querermos, para a inocuidade da falta de objetivo e compreensão Uma prova de fogo !

O cuidado para não desanimar é fundamental, precisa ser constante. A dificuldade inicial para manter a concentração por longos ou até pequenos períodos, precisa ser compreendida. O iniciante que a aceita como parte do crescimento, cresce mais rápido.
Como bons alunos, através de nosso próprio esfôrço, consistência e visão maior, entramos na estrada que irá nos conduzir à libertação pessoal, que vai nos ensinar como iremos conseguir conquistar a almejada meta da atenção completa e abrir para nós um universo inimaginado.
Ao abraçarmos a meta, crescemos ao descobrir que treinamento é fundamental ao sucesso em qualquer situação, momento ou escolha que fazemos. Não é diferente no plano de crescimento a que pretendemos nos dedicar. Escolhido o caminho, basta perseverar, com dedicação e chegaremos ao lugar que escolhemos como nossa meta.
Aprendendo a pesar a relevância do que se agrega, sem convite, a seu universo pessoal é obrigatório. A aplicaçao da técnica da atenção é o início de uma caminhada sólida de percepção clara, ampliada, reveladora, nos acenando com uma realidade com que nunca antes nos atrevemos a sonhar e que, uma vez vislumbrada, é nossa para sempre!

The transformations occur throughout the body and produce concerns and uncertainties. Teens find in their group of friends the confidence they need, where they learn to develop a good self image and where they have the ability to share and clarify their doubts.
For you parent or educator here's some tips to help your teen to develop good self-esteem.
Usually, puberty begins around 10 to 13 years of age. The acceptance of the new body involves a process of building a new identity, which causes severe mood swings and attitudes.
Never save in cumpliments.
To better understand the complex phase of adolescence just think, for example in several questions, which are those that they make daily. Who am I? How do I see myself? Is my body normal? will I be like the others? All these questions generate insecurity in adolescents and do swing their self-esteem. The physical aspect in adolescence plays an important role, especially in the group of friends. Being popular and leading mainly depends on a good physical appearance. In the process of building self-esteem demonstrations of affection from theirparents is fundamental for the teen to
Try not to criticize. Praise the good deeds.
Accept them as they are. Remember that your teenager is sensitive. Encourage him to defend his views and ideals. Take seriously the concerns of adolescents.

MONSTER JAM - ADV
VANCE AUTO PARTS
We had the opportunity to witness the biggest Hot Rod competition this weekend.
The Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium hosted the Monster Jam Trucks-Advance Auto Parts, and in a whole day of Tailgate Parties, PIT Parties, and races, 60.000 people watched an amazing show, filled with all the adrenaline you can ask for.Monster jam shows are held throughout the whole year with more shows during the winter than the summer, and travel around the country in the U.S. and Canada.
Hooked Monster Mutt Rottweiler
Now with the international tour expansion, new fans of all ages are enjoying the shows in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe and soon Asia. Monster jam fans are loyal and dedicated because they enjoy access to the performers and their amazing machines. Every fan attending a Monster Jam event is given the opportunity to meet the stars of the show during the unique “Pit Party” and autograph sessions.
“
The drivers of Monster Jam will stay at thePit Parties” until the last autograph is signed” In the donut competition a driver tries to spin his truck until he/she gets dizzy, and the truck can’t go any more, or they think they have a good enough score to win. Side-by-side racing is traditional heads-up tournament racing, where the first truck to cross the finish line moves onto the next round until it is eliminated or wins the racing trophy by winning the Championship race. The freestyle competition allows drivers 90 seconds plus a 30 second bonus period on an open floor to show off their skills as they drive the huge trucks over cars. Doing stunts and tricks will make these massive high-horsepower vehicles appear to dance gracefully across the track.
Son Uv a Digger
The freestyle winner is determined by 3 judges each giving a score out of 10. There are two winners from both events, however if the same person that won racing that night also won freestyle that night, then they get the biggest trophy, and will go next to the world finals trophy, the Double Down trophy, named after the Double Down activities in Las Vegas at the Monster Jam World Finals.
Spider Man
The tour begins in the late winter each year and ends in March with the World finals in Las Vegas every year. The tour visits almost all major cites Madusa in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

At Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam Competitions, monster trucks face off in two different types of performance. Racing and Freestyle. In the smaller shows they have a wheelie competition and / or a donut contest or sometimes even both. The goal in the wheelie competition is to hit a ramp and get big air while remaining perpendicular to the ground.

Grueling obstacle course challenge will push participants to their physical limits
The series included 35 events in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia in 2012, and 52 events are planned for 2013 including the March event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. More than 460,000 participants worldwide took part in Tough Mudder events in 2012, raising $4 million for the Wounded Warrior Project.
One of the most intense endurance challenges is coming to Homestead-Miami Speedway March 2-3, 2013. Tough Mudder, a 10- to 12-mile obstacle course challenge that involves diving into icecold water, crawling through mud and running through bursts of fire, will make a stop in South Florida.
People are encouraged to form teams and start together. The Homestead-Miami Speedway meet is the first ever in South Florida. Registration closes February 25. Click on the following link to register:http://toughmudder.com/events/miami-2013/.
Homestead-Miami Speedway will be invaded by thousands of runners who will be negotiating a course patterned after British Special Forces training methods. Runners will barrel through mud holes, army crawl under barbed wire and plunge into frigid ice water completing a total of 20-25 obstacles constructed across portions of the 640-acre facility. "Unlike Ford Championship Weekend when NASCAR crowns champions during three days of racing, Tough Mudder is not a race, but a challenge intended to test all-around toughness," said track president Matthew Becherer. "Of the 280-plus events we'll host at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2013, Tough Mudder will undoubtedly be one of the most unique."
About Tough Mudder Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10- to 12-mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all-around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. As the leading company in the booming obstacle course industry, Tough Mudder has already challenged half-a-million inspiring participants worldwide and raised more than $4 million for the Wounded Warrior Project.https://www.facebook.com/toughmudder About Homestead-Miami Speedway The Speedway has been open since 1995 following an initiative to spur economic recovery in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. The 640-acre facility is active more than 280 days per year and will host NASCAR's Championship races during Ford Championship Weekend (November 15-17, 2013) for the 12(th) consecutive year. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship Ford 400 is broadcast live on TV and radio to 175 countries in 24 languages. Homestead-Miami Speedway, featuring a 1.5-mile oval and 2.21-mile road course, generates more than $250 million annually for the region.
With the built-in incentive to get in shape, the bragging rights that come with finishing- not to mention earning the coveted signature orange Tough Mudder headband and a free beer -- the event provides participants with plenty of good reasons to step up to the challenge.

For the third season, the Magic and Florida Blue teamed up to develop lifelong learners through the Baskets for Books Program. For every point made by the Orlando Magic at every home game one book is donated to the Early Learning Coalition (ELC) of Orange County. To date, more than 3,215 books have been donated (through February 6) to the ELC. Based on last year’s points, approximately 6,000 books will be donated. The Magic also recently created a reading corner at Mt. Sinai Child Development Center including 500 books, tables/ chairs, a rug and signage to promote reading (“Healthy Minds Read”). The Baskets for Books program provides a way to continue the Magic’s literacy efforts, one of the team’s three focus areas.

The new wave is UP!!! What'S SUP?! Stand up paddle surfing, Stand up paddle boarding or, in the Hawaiian language Hoe he'e nalu, is the newest transition in surfing and I am happy to be your introduction to the sport. It is an incredible accessible, a cross between kayaking and surfing. The boards are lighter than a kayak, making it easier to load into cars, but stable enough so that nearly anyone can stand on one and they are fun in flat water as well in the waves. Great to get your body in shape like surfing, you have to hold the paddle with one hand and the other one down the shaft. The hand placement alternates just like kayaking. SUP has a Hawaiian heritage and it's good to surf long distances. It began on the 60's when surfers and instructors used for taking pictures. Recently, surfers used for training and it has become "wildly popular" for being easy. Beginners become confortable in as little as an hour of training. Also very popular with women.
ing community due to skill and agility to navigate rapid and move fast from obstacles. It's now the fastest growing water surf activity.New custom SUP Board prices range from US $600 to US $ 1500 and most use glass - reinforced plastic construction using polyester or epoxy resin. The boards are longer than 9 feet ( 3m ) and can be longer than 12 feet ( 4m ). I tried and my very first time was great and I did it again and again. It was a lot of fun, you have to keep your feet straight in the middle of the board. The instructor, Dimitri, the russian guy, has a Surfing School in Cocoa Beach, NextGen Surf School, it has been in the business since 2001 and he was fun to SUP with. Their school has a well rounded, certified, professional staff that can help anyone of any age learn to surf. Wheter you have never surfed before or simply want to hone skills, they have a program that is right for you. They offer group and private lessons and summer camps for kids age 8 and over. The instructor in the pictures is Dimitri and his contact number is 321- 591-9577. If you're looking for something fun, Cocoa Beach is a beautiful small surfing island to be. Let's get in the water and get in shape for the summertime!
Surfers can catch more waves in a set and have a better view of incoming sets. Aloha! River SUP'ing is getting popular in the boat-

This time I want to start telling you about a chat that I had that was super cool, with a little girl named Taylor Pereira. Taylor is 8 yearsold and after many years without cutting her beautiful hair she decided to cut it and donate to an Institution Wigs for Kids, they make wigs with natural hair to soften the pain of children who lose their hair for diseases like cancer, a very nice gesture and it makes life a much happier person. Attitudes like this prove that small actions can have big outcomes! Our interview is already on site and it is worth to check it out.

I had the joy of meeting big names in the Brazilian music these days, the first one I interviewed was singer Israel Novaes that currently has one of the largest fan clubs in Brazil and in Europe. I also met the duo Humberto and Ronaldo, very simple and charismatic, musicians which draw lots of crowds to their shows and they received me with great attention and affection. I confess that I was very honored and happy to meet them.

Last year, he charmed audiences in New York and California during his US live debut. He is currently on tour across the country and will be making his SXSW Music Festival debut on March 12-17 in Austin, Texas. For tickets visit - http://willymoon.com/tour-dates/
Although just 23 years old, Willy Moon proves that age is just a number as he slinks through different decades with a swift ease. Inspired by the physical energy of Cab Calloway and Michael Jackson, the concision of the Ramones, and the style of film noir, Moon appreciates these musical giants through the gaze of his wit and irrefutable sound. To say the least, Moon knows what he wants. So much so that he wastes no time creating superfluous track fillers. This ideology manifests itself in Here's Willy Moon, which is less than 29 minutes long. Only one of its 12 songs lasts more than three minutes and not a single note is squandered. "My album is short like my songs. I always loved the relentlessness and excitement of that first Ramones album and there's something of that spirit in there. I think it will surprise people who've only heard 'Yeah Yeah', there's some slower, more atmospheric songs on it and one that even last for over three minutes...ha!"

I Wanna Be Your Man rearranged for a 1930s chain gang. 'She 12. Murder Ballad Loves Me' crunches Hamburg Beatles Tour Dates into shuddering quasi-dubstep. 'Get February 14 Up' is seize-the-day hip-hop blues. The instrumental 'Murder Ballad' sounds Pawtucket, RI @ The Met C February 16 like Tom Waits wandering through a haunted car yard. The cover versions make alliances with the weirdos of 50s rock'n'roll: Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 'I Put a Spell on You' and Little Willie John's neurotically horny 'I'm Shakin'. Then there are the songs that sound like they should be covers but aren't: the blue-collar howl of 'Working for the Company' and industrial Phil Spectorisms of 'My Girl'. It's an unusual record because Willy Moon is an unusual man. Willy Moon wrote, recorded and produced his debut album all with a few tracks being produced by Pulp'sSteve Mackey. Like a sculptor effortlessly works his clay into a mold from an ambiguous slab, Moon uses his infectious beats and melodic lyrics to reconstruct the pure sounds of rock'n'roll that have been deep-frozen in 1965, with a flow that can only be defined as Willy Moon. He does not afford the listener a gray area to meander; rather his choices are decisive and bold, and thus we are better for it.

What's good Orlando. This month I wanted to shed light on an artist that has been doing his thing musically for a while now. Fidel CashFlow has entertained us for years with consistent work. His company PureCash Entertainment has not only shed light on him as an artist, it also shows him as a photographer, writer, and editor.
Displaying lots of growth and improvement in his delivery, topics and flow, Fidel has consistently put out at least one music project each year since independently dropping his first album in 2006. Currently recording his next studio album that includes a collaboration from Flip Mode Squad’s own Rampage, as well as the soon to make noise –Diddy, Jay or 50, in which he takes you on a trip through his thought process of who he should sign to, Fidel Cashflow defines his strategy and plans of becoming a household name in 2013 in one word: Relentless!
Fidel CashFlow as directed, wrote, produced, and edited his own movie " Three Days To Paris", but as an artist Fidel CashFlow has always been on point with his music.
