IT’S A MAJOR event, not just in the US sporting calendar, but worldwide.
Super Bowl viewing parties are being planned all over the country for next Sunday night.
If — by some strange stroke of luck — you happen to have a few grand to spare and are planning on making a last minute-trip to Phoenix for the game, don’t assume you’ll be able to get a hotel room.
Officials expect a whopping 100,000 fans to visit the area for the game, and average daily hotel rates have risen by 89 per cent.
Lots of Seahawks and Patriots fans are turning to Airbnb as an alternative. According to Airbnb data, nearly two and a half times as many people as usual are making reservations in the Phoenix area.
The earliest such reservations for Super Bowl weekend were made a year ago, in January 2014. But even if you didn’t plan that far ahead, there are still some amazing rentals available in the area…
Let’s be honest — statistically, it’s pretty unlikely any of us will be bedding down at these locations, come the weekend.
But sure there’s no harm in looking, is there?

Nothing to do with lifestyle then
@Dr Richard Lee Kin: no. The people with the gene live ten more years than other members of the Amish community. This suggests lifestyle isn’t the reason
@Declan Hegarty:
zzzzzzz
@Dr Richard Lee Kin: your letting your intelligence down doctor, their in the same Amish community so persumably have same diet/lifestyle. The ones with serpine1 gene are living on average 10 yrs longer.
@Declan Hegarty:
Give it a break man
@Michael Geraghty: It’s “you’re” or “you are” and “they’re” or “they are”.
@Declan Hegarty: Is this true? Why is it available to just poor people, why not everybody? What constitutes poverty?
@Declan Hegarty: FG would administer a drug to make working class people die upon retirement.
@Misanthrope: they already do, Guinness and take aways.
@Gary: and you’re not his teacher .. ..
@Siobhán Ni Mhurchú: Just doing the man a favour. Would you not like such correction, making such errors whilst berating the good doctor’s intelligence?
@Misanthrope: Putting on a suit and pointing at PBP with a grin is a days work for your average FG/FF politician. makes them tired just thinking about it.
No its because they don’t drink water with floride added to it.
They don’t eat food or crops sprayed with chemicals.
And they don’t get injected with unnecessary vaccines at birth.. and their cancer rates are the lowest in the world.. makes you think..
@David Sutcliffe:
“These carriers lived to 85 on average, while those without it in the Amish community tend to live to 75.”
My superpower is the ability to read articles before commenting.
@David Sutcliffe: doesn’t explain why other members of the community dont live as long. Plus, do you honestly think fluoride, and vaccination takes ten years of your life?
@David Sutcliffe:
Did you read the article or just the headline ?
@David Sutcliffe: the group are from the same Amish community so persumably have same diet/lifestyle. The ones with serpine1 gene are living on average 10 yrs longer so nothing what you said above has any relevance at all other than being a sensationalist and if your an antivaxxer then I can safely assume your an idiot. Reinforced by the fact you didn’t even read the article
@David Sutcliffe: didn’t read or understand the article did we?
@David Sutcliffe: yeah never mind science. Let’s just listen to you.
@David Sutcliffe: and they probably don’t eat processed food or drink alcohol.
@David Sutcliffe: The clue here is their genetic makeup, which is a bit of a bonus after centuries of breeding from a small gene pool. Its not rocket science but it is the new frontier.

An Amish drive-by shooting
on a visit to Pennsylvania years back looking at the Amish I thought they must live really stress free lives but at one of the museums chatting to some of the Amish people themselves it was anything but. A lot of them struggle and have two or three jobs, often as labourers on building sites in cities and land is getting so expensive it’s hard for younger families to stay close to their communities
@Dean Anderson:
I don’t doubt what you said but no matter where in the world a person is or what their job is, some people will stress over the slightest thing and some will breeze through the biggest of disasters. Most of us are trying to catch it somewhere in the middle.
And why would you want to live longer unless you had the body and mind of a person in their twenties to thirtess?
@winston why would u want the mind of someone in their 20s or 30s over someone in their 80s, the knowledge and wisdom would amazing unless u were ego centric and lived in the world of ‘thought’ which is an illusion
@winston smith: I guess winston you are either 20 or 30
@winston smith: Because some people want to live, even in old age. Need a rope?
@techman: More like 10 or 12.
@winston smith: jaze 20′s or 30′s! Wouldn’t mind the body, but the mind, that’s not something to write home about. imo
Once again, Journal headline writers getting the story wrong (“Some Amish people live 10 years longer than their neighbours.”). The statement is, of course, true just as some Kerry people live 20 years longer than their neighbours etc.
Rickshaws are the way forward for city centre.
I wonder how much this is to do with Amish only marrying other Amish. They are all drcendant from the same group of families that can from Europe. Is there any evidence of this mutation in Europe?
Has to be pointed out

So they are mutants ?
@geofflillis I think you’re real superpower is youre ability to bore people to death with your comments….
@David Sutcliffe: yes but he is correct
@David Sutcliffe: *your
You’ve managed in two comments on this article to look the stupidest person to comment on the journal in the last week. Congrats!
@George Beckett: his tin foil hat is on too tight.
What goes clippity clop, clippity clop, BANG BANG BANG, clippity clop, clippity clop?

They dont live longer, it just seems that way.
