Summer travelers looking for bigger, longer vacations this year - CNBC

Summer travelers looking for bigger, longer vacations this year - CNBC:

"Travelers from the U.S. are looking to make more trips to Europe and Asia this summer, Gavin said. While the Asia trips (mainly Thailand, China, the Philippines and Taiwan) are likely due to a 4 percent price drop over last year, the European vacations appear to be catching up to pent-up demand left over from the recession, she said."

ESPN’s Masters ratings plummet without Tiger Woods | For The Win

English: in 2007 Esperanto: en la jaro 2007 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

ESPN’s Masters ratings plummet without Tiger Woods | For The Win:

"ESPN’s first-round telecast was down 800,000 viewers from last year to a record low of 2 million. That’s the lowest Thursday viewership in the seven years the network has been broadcasting the Masters.

How much of the drop is directly attributable to the lack of Tiger is anyone’s guess. Interestingly, he wasn’t featured in last year’s Thursday broadcast since he teed off early in the day. Could the idea of Tiger, or just his presence on any portion of the leaderboard, really be responsible for a 33% decrease in viewers?"

Lidia's Italy Blog » Blog Archive » Cooking 101: Smell the Herbs:

"Some herbs were better to cook while others were better added to the finished dish. Rosemary, bay leaves, thyme were mostly used for long cooking where their oils would be extracted slowly out of their leaves while sage, oregano, marjoram needed very little cooking time and basil, parsley and mint tossed raw, is enough to get their aroma."

"Shaking your wine in its bottle is the viable alternative.

Before you get started, there are some practical considerations. If you’re sitting up front --- in first or business class --- this generally isn't for you. This is for travelers who get their airplane wine in a single-serving resealable plastic bottle to pour themselves."

Hangovers Don't Delay the Next Drink, Study Finds

Hangovers 'don't deter drinkers' - BBC News

---  the original post follows below  ---

Hangovers Don't Delay the Next Drink, Study Finds - Philly.com:

"Hangovers don't influence when people will have their next drink, according to a new study that challenges some common beliefs.

Although many people say having another drink will help cure a hangover, others think a hangover will delay further drinking. In this study of nearly 400 frequent drinkers, researchers found the unpleasant after-effects of overindulgence have little effect on the timing of the next alcoholic drink."

"Studies have found that having that conversation and making a plan can cut a person's alcohol consumption by up to 25 percent.
