what is the list of Florida's top 10 beaches as listed by the travel channel?0? The Travel Channel did Florida's top ten beaches, does anyone know what they are?

Top ten most beautiful US States (in your opinion)? Really tough call because each and every state is beautiful in its own way and also every state has parts that are somewhat undesirable. However these ten stick out in my mind as having the best scenery and landscape. My top 10: 1. California: it has everything, beautiful coastline, gorgeous forests and desert with the countryside in the middle to boot. 2. Vermont: You can see and feel all four seasons here and unlike in most states they are all pleasant and beautiful. 3. Hawaii: it's the biggest tourist attraction for a reason! 4. Idaho: Usually doesn't stick out as being beautiful to most people but if you've ever been to the mountains of Oregon, California or Washington, Idaho's scenery is just as good, maybe even better. 5. Florida: Amazing beaches. Lots of sunshine. Nice weather. Loads of greenery. 6. Alaska: Unlike any other state. The most dramatic landscape in the country. 7. Georgia: Trees draped in Spanish moss. Nice small coastline. Hotlanta. 8. Kentucky: Green rolling hills. Horses. Need I say more? 9. Oregon: Portland! Beautiful Willamette Valley and mountain range. 10. Michigan: The Great Lake State. Beautiful winters. other beautiful states: NH, NC, TN, WV, AZ, NY and many many more

What are the top 10 restaurants in Orlando near Sea-World, Disney, Universal, and etc? ( EASY TEN POINTS)? I just need to know restaurants and their location in Orlando. My family is not a big fan of seafood. We mostly like italian , chinese, steakhouse, and places like chili's. Plus I need some other places to go. Not just theme parks but I don't wanna go to gardens either. OH, do you know which florida beach I should go to that is near Orlando? If you have been to Orlando and recommend any hotels that are not expensive but good with a swimming pool, free breakfast, and parking then that would be nice. THANKS!!

Fun word puzzle! no wrong answers!? How to: Find a name and a place in a sentence. EX. The horse was ridden very hard down the river road and across Brevard Ave. The place would be denver (ridDEN VERy) and the name would be dave (BrevarD AVE.) Here is a paragraph, try to find places and names! (BTW i got this from prior hw assignment. I already did it and solved it, I AM NOT USING THIS TO CHEAT!) Four of the FI's top-ten wanted criminals were being extradited today from their various hideouts to face charges here in their hometown. The clever sting operation which brought all four to Washington's Dulles airport within a four-hour period was initiated from ex-iconoscope operator Ted Mack, who observed one of the suspects trying to trade his pet cockatoo for land or a free lift ticket. Fancy hats in a color adored by the second suspect, whose obsession is covering up his baldness caused him to be trappes at a Florida beach-hut haberdashery. A third fugitive, a former country singer, fell prey to the schemes of a female double agent- very chic, a gourmet dinner... The fourth man, known to have poor eyesight, had a minor accident on the plane which damaged his glasses; he literally fell into the hands of agents as he came through customs. The successful search yesterday left the nefarious four few alternatives but to submit to arrest. They will appear in court on Tuesday. This is of course fake and for fun! I want to see what you can come up with!

Does the Bible try to explain God's intense love for barren landscapes, sand, and desert climates? The top ten most beautiful places on earth are as follows: 1. Grand Canyon, Arizona 2. Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii 3. Ninh Van Bay, Nha Trang, Vietnam 4. Arches National Park, Utah 5. Blue Mountain Peak, Jamaica 6. Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania 7. Mount Fuji, Japan 8. The Florida Keys 9. Napa Valley, California 10. El Yunque Rainforest, Puerto Rico Yet our omniscient and omnipotent God chose to plant his Garden of Eden in the middle of the Iraqi desert, a harsh environment with little rainfall and extreme temperatures. What exactly was He thinking?????

How to boost self confidence? Where do I start? Well, I desperately need to boost my self confidence. I just feel so ugly all the time. When I look in the mirror I feel like crying, and sometimes I do. I'm only fifteen years old and I know I'm going through an awkward stage in my life and it will pass, but that doesn't mean that I should feel ugly and feel like crying when I look in the mirror. I'm literally insecure about everything! And I know a lot of people say this and it sounds cliche, but I feel so fat! Seriously, it's summer time which means beaches and bikinis and I just got back from Florida a few days ago and I barely have any pictures because I wouldn't let anyone take my picture. And on the beach, I wore a beach tank top because I feel like my stomach is so flubbery and yucky. When I took off my tank top to tan by midriff and my back I had to put it back on because I felt so disgusting. And what made the Florida trip harder was my dad constantly telling me that I needed to lose weight and my gorgeous mom flaunting her perfect body on the beach, and yes, my mom has a fantastic body and I felt like sh!t next to her. Plus, my mom tells me that I have my grandmother's figure (My Dad's Mother) which really depresses me. And it''s not just my body that I'm insecure about, it's my whole look in general. I'm in high school and when I hear people (esp. guys since I'm a girl) talk about what they think is attractive. I guess the big thing now is curvy, long dark hair, dark eyes and tan skin in a girl which is let's just say is not me. I'm natural dirty blonde, blue eyes, pale skin and I've heard many guys say that they find that boring, typical and unattractive and like I mentioned, my problem area on my body is my belly and I know guys like curvy girls but they like a flat stomach. In fact I've gotten so insecure about my self that I've decided to drop ten pounds (I'm 110 lbs, but I'm only five feet tall) and dye my hair to a darker color. And another thing, my height, it's something that people tease me about. Maybe they're trying to be mean or maybe they're just joking but calling me a stubborn midget and a little person really gets to me. I feel so inferior and I'm so tired of feeling like that! AND PLEASE NO MEAN ANSWERS, I'M GOING THROUGH A CRISIS AND DON'T NEED ANYONE GIVING ME CRAP, so please be nice. :) I appreciate good answers :)

What should I do about my Marriage? My Wife and I have a short but colorful history: I am 35, she is 24 I grew up in Florida, she grew up in Vermont January 2006 - We met in Florida in school April 2006 - Started dating, (we were both heavy drinkers and partiers, night clubs, beach bars, etc.) August 2006 - Found out she was pregnant September 2006 - I tried to take care of my credit card debt or $18,000 by calling a "Debt Consolidation" firm December 2006 - Moved up to Vermont to be close to her family January 2007 - Found out that my identity had been stolen and my credit cards were maxed out. I now am in $85,000 in credit card debt. Plus our school loans. $20,000 April 2007 - Our daughter was born The first year we tried really hard and I worked as a waiter, she stayed home to raise our daughter. We had financial difficulties throughout the year, I obviously wasn't paying the credit cards or school loans, we barely made rent each month. January 2008 - My wife found God and became a born-again Christian. March 2008 - After several attempts to control what had become a growing problem with alcohol I ended up going on a ten day drinking binge. She left to her parents house and I stayed in the apartment and tried to drink myself to death with wine and stayed drunk for ten days. My mother in-law ended up calling the police and they came to the apartment and found my laying on the floor naked and bloody, covered in my own urine and vomit. They took me away. I went to rehab for 21 days. Since then I haven't had a drink or touched any substance. (Almost ten months now) April 2008 - I got out of rehab and we got married on April 15th. Shortly after we joined the local church and we were baptized together. Over the summer of 2008 I was unemployed, we moved to a new apartment and started a new life. I felt like a new man and she seemed very happy. August 2008 - Found a great new job with the promise of a life-long career building furniture. I am very happy and working quite a bit (6 days a week) Since then money is still tight but getting better. My wife continues to stay home with our daughter, now 20 months. However, she is very upset with me about many things. I don;t chip in enough with the housework. I need to devote more of my free time to bible study, prayer, and devotionals. We need to tithe, (donate), more of my pay to the church. I stay up too late sometimes and when I am tired the next day my behavior reminds her of me being drunk. I forget to put my dirty socks in the hamper. She claims that she has changed and become a Christian and I haven't and it's not good. However, since she's Christian she can't leave me because she made a promise top God. I want to stay together but I am having a hard time complying to all the rules of Chritianity. She has stopped wanting to kiss and be affectionate now, however, talks about having more kids still? Recently she told me that she actually never liked kissing in the first place. Also, she says she's way too tired from being a homemaker to have a libido. I feel she gets enough sleep, she gets up at 9 or 10 AM and goes to bed at about 11 PM. I don't know what to do. Please, some advice!! I wanted to add that I don't think she loves me and feels that she really screwed up by getting with me in the first place. Now she's poor and has a kid and is stuck with an old man. Also, she really wants a house now and wants me to pay the $85,000 off and not claim bankruptcy. I have know idea how I would ever be able to. I make $13 an hour before taxes. We're on food stamps $242 a month though, which helps. She left me in October, went to her Mom and Dad's, but then came back when she got in a fight with her Mom and realized she had no place to go. She just really can't stand me, but at the same time is still planning a future and more children and stuff.

Boy help... can u tell me what u think? Hi! Ummm.... this is going to be very long, im very sorry. lots of history to catch up a little to give u a better view. Please bare with me. Thanks Ok so i like this guy and i dont if he liks me. how would i find out? some info: he lives in Georgia and i live in florida but he comes down every year and stays at his uncles house. his younger sis is my best friend. she is my age (15) and he's (17). when ever we get the chance to hang out im always myself around him when there are people around but when we end up alone im quite and he is too kinda. also when ever my brother has his b-day. he always invite the guy i like and at night around 10, we all go out to play manhunt and we always have a lot of fun. it all started about 7 or 8 years ago. i met him for the first time and even if i was 8 i couldn't believe that i would like the guy. even if i didn't really know him. it was kinda Love at First sight. ever since i have been trying to be like unnoticeable, b/c i start to talk a lot and laugh a lot around him. Ok so every year they came i always hanged out with him and his sis. whenever they came we always went to the beach together. when i was 9 or 10 that was the first time i let myself be myself around him and it was so easy, it was like we have always knew each other. that day at the beach we were digging the biggest hole ever.(the three of us, me, him, his sis) the hole was going to be next to the lifeguard thingy and so someone had to constantly bring water so it was easier to dig. so his sis would be the one to dig and me and him would carry our big water matters and try to fill the top with water and bring it back without dropping it. btw it was very heavy. and yeah we would drop it some time but it was him most of the times. he would always laugh when i laugh and i would get really quite at that time but then i would get over it. i didn't really know that i fell in love with him yet. all i knew was i was always trying to impress him. idk y but i tried. anyways so, like it would get really hot sometimes so we would run to the water a splash around. and that was the first and last time he really put his arms around me. it was kinda a hug and then tackle kinda thing. it was so cute!!! i remember trying to tackle him back but it didn't happen he would always end up putting his arms around me and tackle me again. as the years went by we started growing up so to say and we never flirted really. at least not i front of people. well i flirted but idk about him. i first realized that i like him, well actually loved him was bout 12 or 13. i had the biggest crush ever on him and i still do. i think he's the hottest guy i ever met. like compared to me school, on a scale of one to ten. there would be like 2 guys maybe that made it to 9 or 10 but my guy made beyond that. if it were possible he would be 15. trust me....!!! i usually don't fall for guys, i mean i have a lot of guy friends but no, not once in my life did i like anybody as much as i do my guy, i probably thought a guy was cute but not hot or anything. cause i knew there was a hotter one ( the guy i Love.) anyways about two years ago it was my bros b-day and we were playing manhunt(never gets old) and when we went out side he hide under the truck. as the tagger was counting i told the girls to follow my b/c i knew where the best hiding places were. and guess what they were going to go behind the house and i was going to go under the truck!! when i was walking by he grab my ankle and scared to crap out of me, at first i thought it was some hobo under the car trying to get me but then when he found out he said that was hilarious but he was sorry and didn't think it would scare me that bad. b/c i usually can take anything. after that my dad yelled at us for screaming later on and told us to go inside. we ended up playing checkers and i won against his sis and when i played him. i tried not to look at him too much but i couldn't help it sometimes and i would catch myself staring at him. but when he would catch me staring he would smile and i would smile and we would be like that for a little until i notice we weren't the only ones in the living room everyone who was playing manhunt was on the couches watching us play. when they left that night i only had the nerve to say bye to his sis, but i didn't have the guts to say it to him, and i regret that. i wish i can go back and say bye. the next year rolled around and they came down. at church i was surprised that he said Hey first i was so happy that i said Hi a little to loud, but luckily it was before church started. last year i was going to make up my mind that that i was going to get his email or something. it was just for the start, b/c then i was planing to get his # in the email. so that no one would think i liked him. the thing is that he walked away too soon and i didn't get the chance to ask. they were already leaving the next day back home so i was out of luck. by that i thought that

Please read what I wrote about the Environment. Write a comment if you wish!! Please spread the word!!!!? The Environment: How can you help it? The environment is a mess. Everyone can understand that cant they? Well I’m not so sure. Nobody seems to care about anything that’s happening anymore. People will keep on polluting, throwing trash on the ground, cutting down the rainforest, and aiding in the continuation of global warming. When will it stop? What can you do to help stop it? It doesn’t take a genius. Go online and look up ways to help your environment. There is list after list and website after website that gives you ideas. Try recycling, or using cloth bags instead of plastic ones. Cut down on our electricity intake or go organic. You can do so much more for your planet than what you are doing. If you need volunteer hours, then pick up trash on the beach, or find an environmental club in the area. Whatever you do, just get up and do it already. Write letters to your city mayor asking him or her to do something environmental, like making recycling mandatory, or eliminating plastic bags from grocery stores. If you have a voice, use it. Now let’s talk about the rainforest. The rainforest is slowly but surely disappearing. But not everyone knows this, and not everyone cares. Until people realize what is happening, no one will try to stop it. And so as the years go by the rainforest will disappear. The rainforest provides us with much of our oxygen supply, most of our medicines and foods, and the majority of our paper products. Not only does it regulate temperatures and weather patterns, it also contains over 2,000 tropical plants containing anti-cancer properties. Without it we would be nothing. A typical four square mile patch of rainforest contains as many as 1,500 flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 400 species of birds and 150 species of butterflies. Each day over 100 species, known or unknown, become extinct as the rainforest is cut down. How much is cut down or ask? Every second a slice of rainforest the size of a football field is cut down. That’s 86,400 football fields of rainforest per day, or over 31 million football fields of rainforest each year. Not much rainforest left after that is there? So what happens to the animals, the medicinal plants and the native people who live in the rainforest? They die off. Once everything is gone, our lives soon become in jeopardy. Our oxygen levels go down; the weather gets worse and worse, creating monstrous hurricanes and typhoons around the world. And on top of it all, our economy suffers. Everything we have and sell that once came from the rainforest will slowly become lower in quantity. Certain foods will no longer be in grocery stores, and paper products will be scarce in schools and offices. No money will come in for items that do not exist. So what can be done? It’s simple. Spread the word to your friends and family and ask them to support the rainforest. Donate money to programs that help the rainforest such as the Arbor Day Foundation or the Rainforest Action Network. Hold presentations or pass out brochures to your class. Do whatever it takes to save the rainforest. Our lives depend on it. What about global warming? IT IS OUR FAULT. Deny it all you want but its true. If we didn’t pollute so much that we destroyed the UV rays, which makes the earth hotter, which melts the ice caps, then wouldn’t we all be better off? But who’s going to take action? Who’s going to stand up for what’s right, and get of their lazy behinds and do something? Polar bears are dying. Water levels are rising. Florida will be underwater if this continues. And if you love Disney world as much as I do then I’m sure you wouldn’t love to go there and have to wear scuba gear to get to it. I’m sure we all would rather watch TV and hang with friends, but right now isn’t the time. Right now we need to step up and stop spending all of our money on worthless junk at the store and start donating to causes that need it. You boys out there don’t need another video game, and the girls don’t need new makeup and clothes. What you need is to take that allowance that you would have spent on something for yourself and spend it on something that could save the world. And on another negative note, oil prices. You can’t go one day without complaining about them. They just keep getting higher and higher, and soon you’ll be paying ten dollars a gallon. I hope everybody out there can ride bikes because that’s what you’ll be driving to work and school with. These high oil prices will not go down. The more higher they get the angrier people will become and who knows, we might even have a world war 3. Make a protest. If everyone in this world went one day without buying gas, the whole oil economy will suffer greatly. This may seem cruel but it in fact would make a huge difference. The fall of the oil economy will make people realize that oil is just too high for people to buy anymore and so they have stopped buying it altogether. If they become desperate enough they’ll lower the price of gas in order to keep the money flowing. But since nobody has the guts to do anything about it, then I suggest you stop complaining. If you hear someone complaining about oil prices, or saying something about global warming, and how everybody is hurting the environment, I want you to stand up and with your loudest voice say “then let’s do something about it! Let’s stop talking about it and do something because actions speak louder than words!” We are the only thing that can stop this destruction of the planet. Not God, not a miracle, not even magic or wishing or praying. Our actions, our protests, our courage and bravery to stand up to the stupid people with cold and black hearts who don’t care are the only thing that can make a difference. Use what you got and use it well, or live with the shame.
