1. Treasure Island -- Sirens Cove
   Treasure Island offers a covered parking facility and a 24-hour private security force. Located near the curve on Thomas Drive adjacent to Panama City's Grand Lagoon, you get the best of both the Gulf of Mexico and Panama City's boatyard on Grand Lagoon. A five minute walk takes you to the Treasure Ship or Captain Anderson's where you can "watch the fleet come in"!
2. Belize -- Caribbean Sea
   Belize continues to rely heavily on foreign trade, with the United States as its number-one trading partner. Imports in 2005 totaled $518.83 million, while total exports were only $212.83 million. In 2005, the United States provided 39% of all Belizean imports and accounted for 52.2% of Belize's total exports. Other major trading partners include the United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean Common Market (CARICOM) member states.
3. Talk Shows
   A good example of the importance of the host to the form a talk show takes would be The Tonight Show. The Tonight Show premiered on NBC in 1954 with Steve Allen as its first host. While it maintained a distinctive format and style throughout its first four decades on the air, The Tonight Show changed significantly with each successive host. Steve Allen, Ernie Kovacs, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, and Jay Leno each took The Tonight Show in a significant new direction. Each of these hosts imprinted the show with distinctive personalities and management styles.
4. Princess -- Sun Princess
   SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (June 14, 2006) -- Under sunny skies with the Manhattan skyline as a dramatic backdrop, Crown Princess, the newest ship in Princess Cruises fleet, was christened today marking its official debut. Home and lifestyle expert Martha Stewart pulled the lever which broke the traditional champagne bottle on the ship, while singing star Katharine McPhee wowed ceremony guests with the same vocal talent that recently catapulted her to television fame.
5. Adam -- Sons
   The Hebrew word transliterated "Adam" is found about 560 times in the OT. In the overwhelming majority of cases it means "man" or "mankind." This is true of some of the references at the beginning of Genesis (in the creation and Eden stories), and many scholars hold that up to Gen. 4:25 all occurrences of "Adam" should be understood to refer to "man" or "the man." But there is no doubt that the writer on occasion used the word as the proper name of the first man, and it is with this use that we are concerned. It is found outside Genesis in 1 Chr. 1:1 and possibly in other passages such as Deut. 32:8 (where "the sons of men" may be understood as "the sons of Adam"), and in some important NT passages.
6. Beowulf (Medieval) -- King Hrothgar
   This incarnation of “Beowulf” is a story of temptation and hubris and of how the hero gained his immortality in song. The film opens with a scene of revelry at the Danish mead hall called Heorot. But the celebration, led by the drunken King Hrothgar (Anthony Hopkins), draws the attention of an unknown foe. Before the night is through the hall is terrorized by the demon Grendel (Crispin Glover), who arrives tormented by the sounds of merrymaking. Many are lost during his fit of rage.
7. Steve Buscemi -- Trees Lounge
   In 1996, Steve Buscemi made his screenwriting and directorial debut with Trees Lounge, a well-received comedy drama in which he played a down-on-his-luck auto mechanic shuffling through life on Long Island. He followed up his directorial debut in 2000 with Animal Factory, a subdued prison drama starring Edward Furlong as a young inmate who finds protection from his fellow prisoners in the form of an older convict (Willem Dafoe). Moving to the small screen, Steve Buscemi would next helm an episode of the acclaimed HBO mob drama The Sopranos. Called Pine Barrens, the episode instantly became a fan-favorite. In 2004, Steve Buscemi moved out from behind the camera to join the cast of The Sopranos, costarring as Tony Blundetto, a recently paroled mafioso struggling to stay straight in the face of temptation to revert back to his old ways.
8. Paradise Lost -- Miltons Satan
   Further parallels with Paradise Lost occur in the television episode's movie sequel Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which is set twenty years later. Khan, now worn and embittered by his long exile, is still trapped with his followers on the abandoned planet. A clever camera shot of Khan's meager home reveals his small library. Among the books are Moby Dick and Paradise Lost, readings that have slowly nurtured Khan's obsessive, Satanic desire for vengeance against Kirk.
9. Mailer -- Armies
   In the Army, Mailer knew he was living the material for his third novel. From notes in letters to his wife, he fashioned a brilliant narrative around an Army platoon's taking of a Japanese-held Pacific island. Borrowing naturalist techniques from John Dos Passos and James Farrell, a symbolist's stance from Herman Melville, and the instinctive journalist's observations from Ernest Hemingway, he described (in language considered objectionable in its day) the ironies of war and the inner conflicts of a cross section of American fighting men. Many readers saw only the realism in The Naked and the Dead (1948). Mailer insisted he was writing not only of a specific war but of "death and man's creative urge, fate, man's desire to conquer the elements…" The work was a popular success and won him critical acclaim.
10. The Biggest Loser -- Contestants
    The Biggest Loser is an NBC reality television show that began broadcasting on October 19, 2004. It involves twelve contestants (Season 1), fourteen contestants (Season 2) and 50 contestants (season 3) who are overweight to varying degrees participating in a contest to lose the most weight.
