| WHY GRAN CANARIA IS BECOMING A TOP WEDDING DESTINATION
For the romantics & adventuresome couples there is nothing like setting sail into your new life together as husband and wife.
Just imagine the sensation of sailing away with your soul mate and maybe a few friends to a small harbour for an intimate ceremony to be legally united by a local minister. Then toasting with champagne and hor d'oeuvres as the sun sets on the horizon!
What was once a dream is now very possible in Gran Canaria where the legislation has been recently amended to make it very possible for Non Residents to come and get married in this beautiful Island with year round sunshine and outstanding temperatures that others can often just dream of.
Imagine yourself getting married on a beach at sunset with a fragrant breeze wafting over you, or exchanging your vows in a tropical garden.
Times Article Rallies Support for McCain
A Feb. 21 New York Times article examined the relationship between Sen. John McCain and lobbyist Vicki Iseman. The article created a firestorm by asserting, Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself. The Times quoting John Weaver, a friend and adviser to McCain reported, He [Weaver] had warned Ms. Iseman away [in 1999] because of 'what she had told people' that had 'made its way back' to the McCain campaign." According to the Daily News, McCain, when asked directly if he ever had a romantic relationship with Iseman, replied, "No." He added that if aides were concerned about the possibility of such a relationship, as the Times article said, "They didnt communicate it to me.

Mr. Smithee picks Oscar's best of the 'best'
The Oscars have been picking winners for 79 years. And it's high time, I do believe, that my formidable self steps forward and cuts to the chase. Who needs 79 best pictures? What we need is one — the best best picture. And the best best actor. The best best this and the best best that. .
Virtuoso's trip destroys priceless Stradivarius
As a former child prodigy blessed with chiselled good looks, they called him the David Beckham of the classical violin. Now he is more likely to be known as the lad with the broken Strad. David Garrett, 26, one of the nation's foremost young concert performers, had an accident that every world-class musician must dread: at the end of a concert at the Barbican he tripped and landed on his violin. The instrument is a 290-year-old Stradivarius, so rare that it would be almost impossible to estimate its value. Certainly there are people who would have gladly paid hundreds of thousands of pounds for it, before its glamorous owner did a turn as Mr Bean. Now he has a badly damaged violin that will be out of use for at least eight months, and may never sound the same again.
