LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Jan. 21, 2010) - Despite an incredible effort by the 62nd-ranked ETSU men's tennis team the hard fighting Bucs feel just short in their dual match opener as No. 20 Louisville edged past head coach Yaser Zaatini's club 4-3 Thursday evening inside the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center.
With the win the host Cardinals improved to 3-0, while ETSU fell to 0-1.
"It's a horrible feeling to see our guys battle back like they did and fall by a single point," said Zaatini. "You never like to lose or even lose in a heartbreaking fashion, but one thing I'll say about these guys is that I'm extremely proud of the determination and spirit they gave in coming back. If this attitude is any indication of how our season is going to play out, then I'm extremely excited about where this team is heading."
The Cardinals opened play strong winning the top two doubles matches for the early 1-0 lead. ETSU's lone team victory came as sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium), and freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela), stayed on a roll with their fourth straight win this week. The No. 52 ETSU duo outlasted Louisville's Auesten Childs and Chidi Gabreil, 9-8 (10-8).
As singles action got underway Louisville continued its strong play at the No. 1 position, as 46th-ranked Childs outlasted a long three-set match against 89th-ranked ETSU junior Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillame, France), 6-2, 4-6, 6-2. The Cardinals then extend their advantage to 3-0 as ETSU freshman Juan Ramierz (Asuncion, Paraguay), could not overcome the fast start by Louisville junior Robert Hall falling 7-6, 6-1.
Just when it looked like Louisville would run away ETSU responded with its own offensive rally.
Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden), got the Bucs scoring underway with a quick 6-4, 7-6 win over Alejandro Calligari. Minutes later, Gille added to the ETSU total by earning the Bucs first ranked singles win of the season with a strong 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 triumph over 81st-ranked Andrew Carter.
ETSU contiuned its comeback as 51st-ranked Bandres rolled past Viktor Maksimcuk in three sets, 6-2, 2-6, 7-6. With the contest knotted at 3-3, all eyes then turned to Court Two for the deciding match between Buc junior - and 82nd ranked - Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia), and Louisville's 84th-ranked Simon Childs.
After Childs took the first set 6-4, Teraz stayed tough by winning the second 7-5. With the match on the line both players held serve through the first eight games of the final frame, before Childs broke Teraz at 5-4. The Louisville junior then served out the final game at 6-4 giving the Cardinals the one point victory.
"Tonight I saw everyone working as hard as they could on every court," said Zaatini. "This comeback tonight was a tribute to the grit inside each one of our players after we got down early. "
ETSU will now look to even its dual match record as the Bucs return to action for a 10.30 a.m., contest Saturday at in-state rival No. 5 Tennessee.

Trenton Continues to Recover From Hostage Standoff [VIDEO]
The city of Trenton continues to recover from a 37-hour hostage siege that left three people dead and many with raw emotions.
Police removed the bodies of 44-year-old Carmelita Stevens and her 13-year-old son from the small Grand Street bedroom where Gerald T. "Skip" Murphy held the rest of her children hostage late yesterday afternoon according to the Times of Trenton
Stevens' 4-year-old son and two daughters age 14 and 18 are getting medical attention for the trauma Murphy put them through. Long before police arrived on Friday afternoon they were kept in the same room as their mother, watching her body for more than a 2-week period reports the Times.
"Today, those children have been rescued from a deadly threat and horrible circumstances at the hands of an armed subject," New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes said during a morning news conference.
Troubled Relationship
Family members speculate that the relationship between Murphy and Stevens triggered the events that led to the standoff. "(Stevens) knew she had moved it (their relationship) too fast and was trying to pull it out, but he didn't want her to do that," Stevens cousin Sonja Kelly told the Times of Trenton. "He was a wolf in sheep's clothing," she said.
Murphy was a registered sex offender in Pennsylvania and had a warrant out for his arrest for failure to register on the state's Megan's Law website.
FBI negotiators, sixty State troopers, Trenton Police and the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office waited Murphy out through heavy rain on Friday night and all day Saturday. Fuenetes said the safety of the children was of "paramount concern" throughout the standoff.
An End To The Standoff
As Murphy's mental state appeared to deteriorate, police entered the apartment early Sunday morning using flash bombs. A single shot was fired at Murphy as he made a move with a gun that put the children at risk. He later died from that injury.
Murphy had kept the captives with him inside the roughly 10-foot-by-11-foot bedroom throughout the standoff, "This was a very complex matter, considering the space (where the hostages were) and that three children were involved," Fuentes said during a news conference. "Our mission over those 37 hours was to save innocent lives."

Mr. Speaker, recently the MP for Cumberland—Colchester credited a free cancer screening clinic here on the Hill for detecting a mole diagnosed as malignant melanoma. He was lucky to have the screening and can now continue to enjoy his life.
The big cancer killers are lung, breast, colon and prostate cancers and, with the exception of breast cancer, there are no adequate screening programs in any province or territory in Canada despite scientific evidence that screening would be an effective tool to reduce both the incidence of cancer and deaths from cancer.
We as a nation continue to spend most of our health dollars treating cancer and very few dollars screening and preventing cancer. This policy has to be reversed. How long can we ignore scientific evidence that screening for cervical, prostate, breast and colorectal cancers saves lives in large numbers?
In rural areas, with the shortage of physicians, these screening programs are becoming a vital necessity. Swift and decisive action must be taken by Ottawa and the provinces to put these programs in place without delay.

Elephant Festival 2009, Jaipur Mar 2009
Elephants have long been associated with the royalty of India. They have been used as Royal careers for centuries. The animals have thus come to be associated with royalty and have been loved and respected by everyone. The Elephant Festival held in Jaipur, is organized by the Tourism Department of Rajasthan during the time of Holi Festival. Jaipur is the ideal location being the state capital and one of the most important erstwhile princely states of Rajasthan. This popular and vibrant festival is a famous fair & festival of Rajasthan State.
The one day Jaipur Elephant Festival coincides with Holi, the Indian festival of colors. Depending on the Lunar Calendar, usually this festival is held in the month of March. The handlers or mahouts decorate their elephants in regal attire, and make them walk in procession at the start of the day. The procession heads to Chaugan, the vast ground in Jaipur where this festival is hosted. The procession is watched by thousands of tourists and locals. After reaching Chougan, the popular events are kicked off. The most important events are the elephant pageant, polo match, elephant race, and tug-of-war. The elephant pageant showcases the best elephants of the city. These magnificent animals are dressed up elegantly in regal garb, much as in the old days when such processions were part of everyday life of the city. The gallant elephants walk up to the judges much like fashion model divas do on a 'ramp' at a beauty contests. The elephants are observed up close by the spectators and the judges. The best elephant wins the coveted 'best decorated elephant' shield. Although Elephants the main focus, there is a lot of other activities like cultural songs and dance performances as well as this being around the time of Holi lot of colour throwing and fun with surprises. This year the event was held on 10th March, 2009.

Judging Children's Books by Their Covers
I have a secret. When it comes to children's books, I'm horribly guilty of judging them completely by their covers. If it's a picture book, then that cover illustration better draw me in close and whisper sweet messages of great adventures to come. I'm not ashamed to admit it anymore, and I'm betting some of you are right there with me. I'm sharing a couple of my current favorite covers — I haven't read these books yet, but the reviews are good, the covers are awesome, and the plot lines intriguing.
From a book about the ultimate middle child (the 11th of 21 children? Only in the world of bunnies), to a nature story with illustrations painted on wood, these books offer a little something for everyone. I'd like to read The Boy Who Cried Ninja with my daughter asap — because a certain little someone in our house is beginning to tell some very tall tales of her own.

The writing process is hard. No one is telling you to get up an hour early to finish your chapter or polish your final draft. No one is cheering every time you find the write way to right a scene. No one cherishes your words or admires the sweat it took to type them. We love to write, yet it is torture of our own creating. As writers, we wake up every morning thinking about writing, wishing we had more time to write and agonizing over what we haven't written.
I'm there with you. It's hard every time I face my WIP. My subconscious turns small tasks such as a blog post into a giant time-consuming monster. When will I find the time? What will I write? Does anyone care about what I write?
I'm learning how to break that down by stopping the noise in my head that pulls me away from being creative. You see, as writers, we need creative time. It is the medicine that keeps us balanced and happy.
Mindfulness is a widely used stress reduction technique which can do wonders. I stop worrying about what I didn't do or what's happening next week. I take a few deep breaths and visualize what I have in front of me. Sometimes it's my day job and I actually get more done than I thought I could because my mind is focused. Other times it is my beautiful daughter, and I am focused on her words and how wonderful she is at 7 years old and how she will only be this way this minute and if I don't pay attention I'll miss it.
When I sit to write, I focus on the characters and their issues and what they need to work through and accomplish. I leave the tension on the page. Killing your inner critic is hard.
If you think this sounds like New Age hogwash, try reading it from Ray Bradbury's perspective in "Zen in the Art of Writing". Writers are creating worlds, giving birth to characters and controlling the fates of every soul in their writing. Writing is supposed to be hard work, but our self-doubt should not be part of the process. Show up and put in the work, don't worry if it's any good or wonder if anyone will ever read it. Write for yourself and be present in the moment for your characters. You can be critical when you go into editing mode, but then, isn't that another opportunity to be present and creative? You're shaping the clay of your writing to a polished reading experience.
Take five-minutes right now to stop the distractions and breathe, be present and write without expectations or doubt. Perhaps a mystery about a mutilated inner critic found floating in a sea of Alka-Seltzer.
Random Thoughts NOT on Writing
The world is getting smaller and bigger at the same time. Our everyday lives, media and technology are fusing to create a new group-think that influences our choices and behaviors. What if we harnessed that power for good rather than distraction?
The Waze app on my phone uses crowd sourcing to help me navigate around construction and traffic snarls, even warning me when there's a car parked on the shoulder of the road. This has saved me time and headaches even while driving familiar routes.
During the intermission of Roger Water's concert, I searched Twitter and found dozens of other concert goers posting comments and pictures of the show. Suddenly the sea of strangers transformed to a welcoming, shared experience.
We are a virtual herd, changing direction and changing each other in the process. What are your thoughts?

Destroyer, tomorrow at the Village in Hoxton
Anyone going?
Cannot wait. Kaputt is my favourite album of the last few years. I don't really know/like what I've heard of his older stuff though, so I'm hoping for mainly songs off Kaputt.
i saw him a few months back..
plenty of Kaputt (no Bay of Pigs tho..tragically)
he's got a great, great band backing him. enjoy!
no bay of pigs?? WHAT
when i looked at setlists from last year, they were closing every show with it!! I'll be so, so gutted if they don't play it.
Same here, still listen to it quite a bit now.
This time last year it was on perma-repeat on my ipod.
I saw him in Boston this year. A few thoughts...
A. If you want Kaputt songs, you're in luck. They played over half of the album.
B. If you're looking for a laidback show, you're not likely getting it. This tour/leg is very loud, closer to rock than sophisti-pop.
Too loud IMO. Great great setlist though.

A multicounty grand jury has indicted Craig S. Key, the former Lincoln County judge who returned Kelsey Smith-Briggs to her mother's care before she died from suspected child abuse in 2005.
A multicounty grand jury has indicted Craig S. Key, the former Lincoln County judge who returned Kelsey Smith-Briggs to her mother's care before she died from suspected child abuse in 2005.
Key, 47, a Chandler attorney and former associate district judge, was indicted on felony charges of embezzling more than $70,000 from two clients as well as the theft of 13 head of cattle.
Seven indictments — three counts of delivery of a forged instrument, two counts of embezzlement as well as conspiracy to commit the larceny of domestic animals and larceny of domestic animals — were issued.
In the cattle case, Key, along with Joshua E. Anderson, 36, of Agra and Leslie Bottger, 47, of Agra, are named in the indictment alleging the theft of 13 head of cattle and a trailer in September.
The other indictments allege that Key, while working as an attorney, embezzled $71,583 from two different clients. Key, who reportedly received insurance checks for those clients, was supposed to use the funds to pay their medical bills but instead used the money for other purposes, the documents show.
Key's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey of Stillwater, said Key plans to fight this case, according to the Associated Press.
"We're very disappointed Mr. Key was indicted by the grand jury," Ramsey said. "The grand jury only heard one side. We will fight this in court."
Details from the cattle indictment show Key, Anderson and Bottger allegedly conspired in September 2012 to steal a trailer and multiple cattle from Lincoln County man. Key reportedly paid Anderson $200 to help with expenses incurred while Anderson and Bottger committed the theft, the document shows. The following day, Anderson and Bottger made two trips to allegedly steal the trailer and move the cattle to a farm owned by Key, the indictment shows.
In October 2012, Key allegedly told Brandon R. Dawson, 42, of Chandler, to take the stolen cattle and sell them at the livestock sales barn in Waurika, with him being offered $200 from the proceeds. While attempting to sell the cattle, the indictment shows Dawson was approached by agents from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture and the Waurika Livestock Commission, inquiring about stolen cattle.
According to the indictment, Dawson allegedly sent a text message to Key that read, "Cops just came in," with Key responding with a text that said, "Leave." Dawson left without finishing the sale.
According to the remaining indictments, on two separate occasions in September 2010 and October 2011, Key allegedly forged checks and embezzled $57,283 and $14,345 from two injured clients. The money was intended to pay the clients' medical bills, but the indictment alleges Key used the money for other purposes.
The Attorney General's Multicounty Grand Jury Unit investigated the claims of this case jointly with assistance from agents with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.
Until Friday, much about their investigation was unknown other than a search warrant had been executed in March at Key's law offices located on East First Street, also known as SH 66, in Chandler.
The indictments were the first to be handed down by the 14th multicounty grand jury, which convened in January. The grand jury was requested by Attorney General Scott Pruitt in September.
Many area residents may remember Key as the judge who oversaw the case of Kelsey Smith-Briggs. Key returned the 2-year-old Meeker girl to the care of her mother despite concerns by DHS, and Kelsey later died in October 2005.
The child's mother, Raye Dawn Smith, is serving a 27-year-prison sentence on a conviction of enabling child abuse. Kelsey's stepfather, Michael Lee Porter, pleaded guilty to enabling child abuse and is serving a 30-year prison term.
If convicted on the allegations in these indictments, Key could face up to 10 years in prison for each of the cattle counts, plus pay a fine up to three times the amount of the valued cattle, up to $500,000.
On the delivery of a forged note or instrument charges, Key could face up to seven years in each count upon conviction and up to 10 years in each of the embezzlement counts.
The cases, filed in Lincoln County District Court, will be prosecuted by the Attorney General.
Key's next court date on these charges hasn't yet been scheduled.
Watch for updates.

zetec521 replied to old cruiser's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubMine's happening only in 2nd gear. Never on the 1st, 3rd,etc...My solution: Use the first gear up to 3000rpm before shifting to 2nd, thus gaining more momentum to the car. Flat spot no more.
Amazing little fiesta...(or maybe not?)
zetec521 replied to zetec521's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI'm not referring to the 0-100kph in seconds gents :P ...but the driver's top speed which is 205kph. Does a zetec 1.25 really has this capability?

zetec521 replied to KatePocket's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubAre you sure it's not the belts that's slipping(alternator,fan belts,etc..)? Very common and sounds similar to a screeching tire. A faulty belt roller/tensioner squeaks too!
Engine cuts out
zetec521 replied to manbearpig1987's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsHow about trying to stay in "neutral" when you stop at junctions. I have this problem before (cutting out)..but I soon discovered that the longer I put my foot on the clutch pedal(first gear) while waiting for the green light, the more frequent I cut out at intersections! So just give it a try if it make some difference. I don't know though how it somehow elliminate my problem. Make a report here after you tried it. Just be fast on the gears...or the one behind you will make some nasty honking :-)

zetec521 replied to ilovefiestas's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubDid you mean the rubber wipers or, the washer spray? If so...just clean the spray noozle with a pin or needle. Ice might have blocked it.
Brakes in the snow!
zetec521 replied to hedgepig's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIf it really did cut out(engine) and you didn't notice it(probably you have the stereo on in way much decibels )..then obviously the brakes would be hard as rock. But as you said that your car's comp have given you a "faulty" report on the brake system...then that's another thing to SERIOUSLY worry.
Focus electric window won't work
zetec521 replied to jegs's topic in Ford Focus ClubIf it won't budge...i.e.,move down, there's a big possibility that it's just frozen. Wait for some sunlight Or...splash some lukewarm water if you're in a hurry and have to use it(say, going inside a parking area in a mall wherein you have to use your side of the window to access entry).
Freaky Window Problem!

zetec521 replied to McBonio's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubYour best bet: 35psi on all tires. If you're loaded...it will suffice. And if you're driving alone...not a problem.
Streaaky Windscreen
zetec521 replied to Ben G's topic in Ford Focus ClubThe heaters (vertical or horizontal)functions from the inside. Just leave them "ON" while driving...until front and rearview becomes clear(around 10min). It increases gas consumption though( if you forgot to switch it off). Clearing the mist is achieved faster if you run the fan.

New: Skillet Sauces From Frontera & Rick Bayless
While taking a stroll down the ethnic aisle at our local grocer a new package came to our attention. After further examination, these small white pouches with pretty pictures of fajitas and tacos on them were identified as Frontera products from Rick Bayless. After a quick check over the package we were pleasantly surprised to find not only real ingredients but ones we actually want to eat as well!
Now Rick Bayless is usually known for bringing us quality products and this one looks to fall right in line with that philosophy. From the Frontera website the product claims to boast the following things:
• Made from fresh ingredients (not dried spices and powders)
• All natural, no preservatives
• Distinct regional flavors from Mexico
• Convenient, easy to use pouch
It was nice to be able to see the actual product inside through the bottom of the pouch where there were in fact indications of real peppers, things that had been fire roasted and things floating around that I truly wanted to eat — although we're still eating our way through Easter leftovers and testing it will have to wait till next week.
There were 7 different flavors total, you can check out the full product line over at Frontera. Each pouch is added to 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of meat and retailed for just under $2. Although that might seem like more than your average dry seasonings, if you're looking for full flavor on a busy weeknight, it might be a small price to pay, especially when certain ingredients might be out of season.

What led to the sea, and to Azamara Club Cruises as captain of a ship?
I was born by the seaside in Portugal. My family at that time owned a fleet of trawlers, so I grew up on the ships. On my 14th birthday I went to work in the shipyards to earn money for a bicycle.
I have three cousins who are captains…I guess I knew at an early age that I wanted to someday be a captain too. Though at the time I thought it would be on a fishing trawler. But after four years in nautical school, my experience in the codfish industry was a disappointment. So I went from fishing vessels to tankers to cargo ships to get different experiences.
After a long contract on a big tanker, I got a call asking if I'd like to join a world tour on a cruise ship operating from Portugal. During six months onboard, I made my decision that I wanted to be on a cruise ship. I really liked it.
I continued to find my way to cruise ship experiences. I joined Renaissance in 1999 as it launched construction of eight new ships, including two that now carry the Azamara name. It was all good experience and background, and working with so many different captains and crews taught me a lot.
Today I have my dream job. A nice mid-sized ship, sailing around the world, traveling and meeting so many interesting people.
And what did you learn from those early experiences?
Three things.
First, try to be like a sponge and learn from everything. Learn from the good and the bad, from every experience, from good leaders and from people you don't particularly admire. Squeeze the sponge, and only the good things will remain.
Second, if you have a goal, fight for it, your time will come. Be patient. I thought my time had come and I would finally be a captain of my own cruise ship, but then 911 happened. Not my time yet! The company who bought one of the eight Renaissance ships I had been working on told me, "If you want to stay with us you have to be staff captain; our captains are always British." But I didn't want to do that. I had to train a new staff captain…guess who? It was Carl Smith. So our paths crossed, but didn't cross again until I came to Azamara.
Then, almost exactly ten years later, the day came when I got an offer from Azamara. It was perfect, just what I had been working for. Maybe that's why I feel so at home here. You really get linked with the ships a different way when you help build them.
The third lesson is safety. My grandfather always told me, "Bigger ships, bigger problems." I believe small and mid-sized ships are the way to go. When something goes wrong, it's generally one of two issues: a comfort issue or a safety issue. You may disappoint guests from time to time, but safety is always first and I know that's true with all our captains.
My very first voyage as captain on the Quest was to the West Indies. By the second island we had a blackout and went seven hours without electricity. So I explained to guests what had happened, why it happened, and how it would be fixed. I learned that the best way to deal with any problem is to tell the truth. I got so much support from guests, and I was happy about that.
What makes you proud about working for Azamara, other than reaching your long-term goal of being captain of your own ship?
After working with so many different ships, what makes me proudest is the excellent crew on our ship. I've worked all my life with different nationalities and I'm astonished by the quality of crew we have onboard. Many have been with Azamara for years. Our shoreside management is responsible for that. On the ships we are on a first name basis—communication is very open. Communication is the secret key.
I have great support from shoreside, and always know there is someone behind me if I have a problem or question onboard—any time day or night. This is remarkable. At other companies I faced many things alone. After my first contract with Azamara, I knew I was in a special place. In 30 years at sea, it was the first time that I was called by my first name, Captain Jose, not Captain Vilarinho.
This makes me very honored and loyal to Azamara. And as captain, I try to transpose this to my crew and onboard staff; we're in this together. There is freedom to approach the crew and let the crew approach you. This makes Azamara different, from captains down to the newest crew member. You can't imagine the difference it makes, not just in our experience but also in the guest experience.
A cruise ship is a floating hotel. It's the crew that makes the hotel different. Whatever we do, we do it for the benefit of the guest. Yes, I have to move that hotel from Point A to Point B. But a ship sailing without a fine crew is an empty vessel. Our attitude and service is what differentiates us.
The Hotel department is our most important interface with guests. From the perspective of guests, these are the most important people on board, providing the best service a hotel can supply. And of course all departments on board work with guest satisfaction in mind, that's our job every bit as much as sailing the ship.
What are your favorite ports and experiences?
The Norwegian Fjords are a wonderful part of the world, and I always love sailing there. I like tiny ports, and the fjords include challenging maneuvers and so many scenic rewards for guests.
Venice and Kotor are two beautiful ports, and I could go there so many times. On some days when we approach Kotor, it looks like a fairy tale book. The ship feels like it's floating on fog, and you see the end of the fjord floating over the clouds. It's not every morning you see the fog just floating level on the water like that; it's really magic.
Malta is a great port, and another challenging maneuver. So is sailing the Guadalquivir River to Seville—a wonderful experience for navigating and wonderful for the guests.
I could go to St. Petersburg every year, and anywhere in the Baltic Sea. I love Tallinn. It's like entering another world, another century.
In truth, after so many years at sea, I still don't have a favorite voyage or port. I see beauty in them all. I always tell my guests, depending on what you are looking for and expecting, you will find it on an Azamara voyages.
Tell us a bit about daily life as a captain on Azamara.
The best thing about every day onboard is going around and meeting all our guests, which I can do because we are a small ship. I've got so many guests I can now call friends, people who choose to travel when I'm onboard. It makes a voyage even more personal and fun for all of us. You can probably tell that I love people!
My day starts at the gangway after docking and wishing guests a good day. And then my day is divided between my office, meetings and work, and time walking around the ship. I have a pedometer and on a normal day, I walk 6-7 kilometers around the ship. On an embarkation day with a few trips into the terminals I walk up to 11 kilometers.
I'll usually have breakfast and lunch at Windows. I always spend 30-45 minutes going from table to table. I'll go to Discoveries or the specialty restaurants for dinner, chatting with guests about what they did that day and answering questions. For me this is not work. I like to do it.
And I love espresso, so I go to Mosaic and chat with guests and have my coffee. You get a good feeling for those who like to spend more time onboard; this is where you find guests who just really like being with us.
At the beginning and end of shows at night, I also greet guests when I can.
What are your favorite foods onboard?
I love seafood. I love Indian night at Windows. I'm crazy for curry! I eat at Windows on a regular basis, and love all the ethnic nights. For dessert, Petit Gateau—baked chocolate lava cake. It's the best.
I go to crew areas on a daily basis too. I like the crew mess. And I love tasting their foods—we have some great cooks on the crew! I want the crew to feel we can be friends, while still respecting the lines of division. What the crew sees you doing, they will do. So I like eating with them and mingling with them when I can.
Favorite comment from a guest?
"What is important, different, and the best about Azamara? The crew." We are so happy that guests recognize that. We hear it not only verbally but also on the comment cards. The word for how we work is collegial. The first people who notice this are the guests because it affects their entire onboard experience.
Which AzAmazing Evenings are your favorites?
For the time being, all are new for me. Ephesus is number one because of the location in the Odeon. The cello player in Croatia was also wonderful. A wedding party celebration in Crete was a great fun. In Batumi, it was an amazing show in an amazing venue. These evenings are not about drinks and food, but about close encounters with cultural experiences—that's what I try to remind guests. We give them what others are not giving them.
Where else would you like to see Azamara ships sailing?
I would like to have itineraries that include Spitsbergen and Greenland, to see pack ice, wild life, polar bears and glaciers. It could be a great adventure for our guests.
We have many more choices than the megaships and I'd love to take advantage of them all with our destination expertise and longer stays. That's what people are looking for: original, unusual and unique experiences to places you cannot go on your own.
Is that why most guests choose Azamara, other than the fantastic staff and crew?
I met a young couple and asked why they were with us. They told me they chose Azamara because we have a lot of tendering ports in the West Indies. On that voyage we tendered on six out of seven days. At first that might seem like an odd answer. But what they were saying is that tendering means the port is small and big ships don't go there. That's the way to see the West Indies—the small ports. And they were there to see nature, not to shop in tourist traps or be in crowds.
Do you have a motto or creed you try to live by?
My motto grew out of the understanding that when you live away from home, you never get back the time you lost with family. It's part of life at sea, not looking back with regret but understanding that this is the way it is. So from that I've learned to live fully whether at sea or home. Slowly, we can all learn to live the life we want.
So my motto is "Try to make the most of ordinary things; you can make the ordinary extraordinary every day of your life." That applies to life in many ways, and to port experiences too. Even the tiniest ports are filled with extraordinary moments and wonders if we pay attention.

Frankie Edgar
United States
- Full name Frank James Edgar
- Nickname The Truth
- Birth date October 16, 1981
- Birth place Toms River, New Jersey
- Current age 37 years 97 days
- Height 5 ft 6 in
- Weight 155 lb
The fourth lightweight champion in the UFC's history is undoubtedly the most understated, but that only adds relevance to the question: How good can Frankie Edgar get?
A wrestler by trade, dating all the way back to his collegiate days, "The Truth" was originally turned down for a place on The Ultimate Fighter, only to soon realise that president Dana White had far greater plans for the man from New Jersey.
Edgar was thrown into his UFC debut a month later against another pocket rocket, Tyson Griffin, producing one of the fights of the year. Griffin locked on a memorable kneebar towards the end of the bout, but Edgar survived to claim his first UFC victory.
A skilled jiu-jitsu practitioner under Ricardo Almeida, Edgar rapidly developed all sides of his game at the Renzo Gracie Combat Team, and after six wins in seven UFC appearances it was impossible to ignore the frequent Fight of the Night winner.
Victory over Sean Sherk, courtesy of an exhaustive work rate, confirmed Edgar as a top contender, and a further win over Matt Veach landed him the title shot he had craved.
With BJ Penn standing in his way, Edgar walked into the biggest fight of his life as one of the greatest underdogs in UFC history. However, much like the Sherk fight he outworked Penn for five rounds, mixing well-versed kickboxing skills with his wrestling base to claim the UFC gold.
Still the appropriate credit did not come the way of the new champion though, so Edgar had to repeat his heroics over Penn four months later. Still considered the underdog, Edgar delivered a repeat performance, this time dominating Penn to rubber stamp his status as the UFC's new lightweight king.
The best was still to come though as Edgar, having recovered from a beating to draw with Gray Maynard in January 2011, successfully defended his belt in the rematch, which saw him survive one of the all-time UFC hammerings before knocking out Maynard in round four. Dana White was later prompted to label Edgar the No. 2 pound-for-pounder in the world.
However, Edgar could not live up to that hype at UFC 144 in a tight decision loss to Ben Henderson, which was repeated in a rematch at UFC 150. Few would back against him regaining UFC gold in the future, although his drop into the featherweight ocean in an attempt to become a dual-weight champ came up short in defeat to Jose Aldo.
Career high
Victory over BJ Penn just was not on the cards. Edgar's strong suit was wrestling, but Penn had not been taken down by a lightweight for six years. The Prodigy's stand-up was also known to be the most devastating in the 155lb division, yet he could not land on the waspish Edgar in a brilliant display of mixed martial arts.
Career low
Believed to be on the cusp of being recognised as the best lightweight to ever grace the UFC, Frankie Edgar needed a win over Ben Henderson at UFC 144. His same wasp-like style was on show, and president Dana White even thought he won the fight, but Henderson took his title by decision - leaving Edgar demanding a rematch.
"I put a lot of work into this. It's midnight right now and I left my house at 5:30 in the morning and I won't be home until after midnight. I work hard and I think I deserve it."
If Frankie Edgar could meet one person, it would either be Kanye West or Bruce Lee

For some reason, over the past year I've been really clicking with Yves Saint Laurent Beauty in a way that hasn't happened before. Encouraged by my love of their new Couture Eyeshadow Palettes, I took a chance and tried the new Yves Saint Laurent Fusion Ink Foundation ($60/ 0.84 oz.). This is currently available at Yves Saint Laurent online, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Sephora.
24 hours of soft-matte perfection and comfort. Our exclusive fine-as-ink formula perfects the skin yet wears weightlessly all day. Never cakey or heavy. Feel the difference of all day perfection and freedom. SPF 18. Available in 21 shades.
Here is an interview with Lloyd Simmonds, the Creative Director of Yves Saint Laurent Beaute, which states that the formula was developed to be both long-wearing and lightweight, so that it appears to adhere to the skin without looking cakey. According to Simmonds, "It's the perfect foundation for fashion shows because even four hours after application, it's still there by the time the models hit the runway." I had to smile a bit when I read that. I really do need a foundation that lasts more than four hours. Although I loved the look of YSL Tient Touche Eclat, I could not get all-day wear from that foundation on my combination skin. Thankfully, YSL Fusion Ink really does deliver on longevity (more on that later).
I tried Yves Saint Laurent Fusion Ink in BD 15 (Warm Buff) for the past week plus, which is an excellent match for my NC15/Chanel Ivoire/ Nars Deauville skintone. This is roughly where I am in all foundation shades–warm, fair. The serum feels light a very light oil going on, a bit like Giorgio Armani's Maestro Foundation. YSL's Fusion Ink is very pigment rich–a light first pass all over my face gives me roughly medium coverage. I find this very layerable. Because you do not need much product to get good coverage, a second layer (or third, in places) doesn't seem to give any textural build-up. There's a light scent that fades quickly (ah, the French! They do love the scents!) For me, coverage is nearly full on a second layer. Still, it doesn't look as "masky" as some foundations do at that level of coverage.
The texture takes a while to dry down, I give it a good two or three minutes before I apply any powder products. While it's setting, I often add a liquid bronzer like Giorgio Armani's Liquid Summer (other nice ones include Perricone MD's No Bronzer Bronzer and MAC Prep & Prime BB Cream (in Amber)). It's nice to add some alight bronze for summer.
YSL Fusion Ink is rated at SPF 18, but one does not use much of this product, so a separate sunscreen is necessary. There is no pump for this serum-textured foundation. Instead, there's an applicator that looks like the YSL lip applicators (or a super-stylized bubble blower, whichever you prefer). I sweep this over my cheeks, forehead, and dab it on my chin before using my fingers to spread the product.
So, this dries down to a velvet finish. It's beautiful. It doesn't need a setting powder. Adding one didn't seem to increase it's already day-long longevity. YSL Fusion Ink takes highlighters well if you want to add. There's shocking longevity here, even though I get caught in occasional muggy 90-degree heat, the foundation doesn't break apart, disappear, fade, or shift like the tectonic plates (as some foundations seem to do). After a day that starts at 4 am and ends at midnight, going in and out of heat and air conditioning, it really does look amazing at the end. My forehead is only ever-so-slightly dewier in the evening, but much less so compared to most foundations. YSL Fusion Ink is well-named, and does it while feeling lightweight and melding into the skin perfectly. Ingredients:
The foundation didn't cause any of my pores to clog, gave me a beautiful all-day finish, and covers any discolorations like mad. The price point is on the mid-to-higher end these days, but it does look expensive, and makes my skin look amazing. It reminds me of Chanel's new Perfection Lumiere Velvet foundation (but a bit lighter because the YSL is a true serum), and a bit like Giorgio Armani's Maestro serum with a higher coverage formula. I was concerned that the bottle includes slightly less than the typical 1 ounce of most other lines. However, if you are looking for medium to nearly-full coverage, you'll get to that level with a small bit of product.
Overall, I was impressed with Yves Saint Laurent's Fusion Ink. I believe that there's some innovation at the company right now, and it's showing as new products are rolling out. This foundation certainly fills a real need for a very long-wearing, medium-to-high coverage formula. Bravo, YSL!

Bid for Allergan Puts Valeant's Research and Development Cuts Under Scrutiny
$53 Billion Bid Puts Focus on Strategy of Shedding Research Operations and Making Money Selling Products
Shortly after Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. bought Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. two years ago, the new owner gathered staffers of the skin-products maker and started handing out envelopes. If you got a black envelope, it meant you were fired.
Most of the research-and-development staff at Medicis headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz., got the black envelopes, according to people familiar with the matter. Soon, most of the roughly 30 research projects under way were also dropped, according to the people and physicians...

Smashing Pumpkins to Announce 'Oceania' Details at SXSW
Smashing Pumpkins have been going back and forth over the best way to release their upcoming album 'Oceania.' Now comes word that there is a game plan, which Billy Corgan will announce the details of at next week's South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
The Smashing Pumpkins have had their upcoming album 'Oceania' in the can for months now but have stalled releasing the disc to come up with an effective release strategy. Initially it was reported that the disc would be available online for free -- similar to their ongoing 44-song project 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' -- but then 'Oceania' seemed to be headed for a more traditional release. Corgan's latest update seems to indicate that neither of those reports are completely accurate.
"Our aim is to turn the 'social' into a new way to experience an album," Corgan tells Mashable. "By taking the medium one step further we will create an experience with 'Oceania' online and off-line that transcends the single and the single mentality in all ways."
Corgan further explains that the band is working to revive "the album experience through fan engagement in a whole new way with Oceania. [We're] working closely with Superfans as gatekeepers to help interaction on a fan-to fan level by promoting their Smashing Pumpkins related blogs and enlisting their help in maintaining a few official Smashing Pumpkins social media sites."
While Corgan isn't ready to give all the details just yet, his publicist did hint that "we're not releasing this record like normal at all. The key is that when we release the record, we're not going to release single a viral video. You're going to take the record a have a full online experience with it." The Pumpkin-in-command will announce the release date and further details during at one of next week's South by Southwest events.
'Oceania' will be Smashing Pumpkins ninth studio album and is considered part of the 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' project -- the band has referred to the release as an "album within an album" on several occasions.

The key to maintaining blood sugar and cholesterol levels is your diet. This is why a diabetic weight loss plan should be your weapon against complications, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar levels. A diabetic weight loss plan aims to help you maintain a proper diet and stay within your ideal weight.
Managing diabetes
It is important for a diabetic to maintain a balanced and proper diet, weight control, and regular exercise. The diabetic weight loss plan is your first step to a healthy lifestyle as a diabetic. This involves controlling your portions, choosing healthier foods, and getting enough physical activity..
medical weight loss, best weight loss program, lose weight fast diet,
Making your weight loss plan
When making a diabetic weight loss plan, it is important to consult your doctor first. They can help you construct a weight loss plan that is fit for your type of diabetes, your lifestyle, and your overall health. They can also guide you in making healthy food choices to improve your health and to prevent complications like hypertension, cancer, and even heart disease.
Glucose control
In making a diabetic weight loss plan, one of the things to consider is managing your glucose levels. This is particularly important for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. By controlling your glucose levels, you can reduce your risk for complications like kidney and eye problems by as much as 40%. Your weight loss plan should contain a mixture of foods with low and high glycemic index. You can also maintain your glucose levels by exercising regularly.
Fat control
Your diabetic weight loss plan should also limit your intake of fatty foods. This can be as simple as choosing vegetable oil instead of regular oil, fish instead of pork, or low-fat instead of full cream milk. These simple choices can help you maintain your cholesterol levels and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications by as much as 50%. Make sure that your diet is low in cholesterol and fat and combined with regular exercise to make it more effective.
For the sweet-toothed
For a long time, people believed that sweets such as candy and soda were the biggest culprits in the development of diabetes. Scientiests believed that these could cause a quick and sudden rise in blood sugar levels, particularly compared to starches. However, current studies reveal that sweets and candy do not raise your blood sugar levels as fast as white bread, white rice, and white potatoes. These foods contain starch, which is converted into complex sugars during digestion.
You can still eat sweets and carbs, but in limited portions. Make sure that your diabetic weight loss plan cuts down on starchy foods. If sugar-free or low-sugar options are available, take them instead. Also, make sure they still contain essential nutrients so you won't be ingesting "empty" calories. Consult with your doctor or dietician on which sweets are safe to include into your meal plan, and how much of it you can eat.
Maintaining proper nutrition
A diabetic weight loss plan prioritizes better nutrition and better health through proper diet, weight loss and maintenance, and increased physical activity. It is also important to determine what types of food you are most likely to eat, as well as how much and when you can eat to manage your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Some tips
Here are some tips that can help you create a weight loss plan to help maintain your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
1. Make sure that you are following a regular eating schedule and meal plan.
2. Make sure that you are eating a balanced diet containing a variety of food groups necessary for proper nutrition. Your diet should include fruits, vegetables, fish, lean meat, poultry, non-fat dairy products, and whole grains.
3. Make it a point to read the nutrition labels to monitor how much salt, starch, carbohydrates, and sugar you are taking in.
4. Cut down on the sugar or eat sweets in moderation. Try low-sugar and sugar-free options if they are available.
5. Eat foods that are low in fat and limit your intake of saturated fats.
6. Make sure you get enough fiber every day. A few good sources of fiber are beans, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
7. Avoid salty foods.
8. Drink lots of water.

I have some examples:
NEW YORK NEW YORK-- I was having a bad luck day. I was playing the slots at NYNY and ordered a beer from the cocktail waitress (as long as you are gambling, the drinks are free in Vegas. You don't have to tip the waitress, but most players do, me included). She brought me my beer, I reached into my pocket and only had 45 cents, so I gave it to her. She said, "Wow, a 20-cent tip!" She was making fun of the tip I gave to her!" I immediately cashed out and ran her down. In front of other customers, I reamed her for making fun of my tip, which was 45 cents, not the 20 cents she claimed. She was embarrassed and she appologized for the indescression which was the right thing for her to do. The appology calmed me down and I went on my way, knowing that she had learned her lesson. If you make a living off tips in Vegas, keep in mind some gamblers are down on their luck and may tip you little or nothing at all. That doesn't mean they are tightwads. But there are some people who don't tip at all. That's just the nature of the game.
Example 2: I was at the Aria Casino and went up to a bartender and asked him to switch the TV to a football game I had bet on. Now keep in mind, they had 3 TV screens showing ESPN and other sports shows that nobody was watching. I had even went into the sportsbook and asked the manager what sattellite channel the game was on so I could provide that info to to the bartender. After doing so, the bartender told me to go watch the game in the sportsbook. I was truly flabbergasted! I could have taken the matter to a higher level, but by this time I was so displeased by the customer service in virturally all MGM resorts. I no longer do business there, as their training program is shoddy. Furthermore, when you go to the cashier in MGM resorts, they have no line markers, so it's every customer for themselves. I've had many customers cut in front of me, usually I say something, but I get tired of having to do so.
Good Customer Service Story: I was playing slots at the Wynn, which is probably the highest-class place in town. I ordered a beer. When the waitress brought it to me I realized I didn't have any money in my pocked, all my money (and it wasn't much) was in the slot machine. I appoligized to the waitress for not being able to tip her. She said with a smile on her face, "Don't worry about that. Now get lucky and get some of your money back!" And she said it so sincerely! See, she was trained to appreciate tips but realize that people are gamling and might not be able to tip at all. And I was playing a penny slot in a high-class joint, it didn't matter, she still treated me like I was a high roller. I really like the treatment you get at the Wynn. I also received good treatment from other employees there.
Any other stories? Good or bad?
If you re-read my story, she made fun of my tip first before I bitched at her. If she just said thank you (like she should have) or said nothing at all, then there would be no story. You call me a "Dumbass". Who cares about that?
If you notice in my Wynn story, i didn't tip ANYTHING, which can happen when you insert all the cash you have into the slot machine. I was treated with respect.
Tipping is a privilege. And when people are gambling, sometimes the service people don't get tipped. But if the service is excellent, I'll chase down the waitress later and tip her double because I appreciate the way she treated me.
What you are saying: "If the tip is lousy, it's OK to make fun of it" I totally disagree with you. It makes the employee look bad and the establishment look bad. Keep in mind, I've seen waitress' bring out a lot of expensive drinks to well-dressed people and get stiffed all the time. If they handle the situation properly, just say thank you and move on, and I'm having a good day, I'll tip her double when she gets to me to make up for the non-tippers and the way she acted.
I live in Vegas now, true, I tip less than when I was a visitor. But waitresses have thanked me when they get anything at all. One explained to me that anything is appreciated because since the recession started, tipping is way down. I tipped her 45 cents, that's all I had in my pocket. I wasn't going to go to the ATM machine, then try to break a 20 dollar bill, just for the tip. What if she was getting off at the moment, I thought 45 cents was better than nothing.
It's interesting that none of you thought her behavior was rude. To make fun of ANY tip is unprofessional. But I was fair to her stating that she appologized admitting that she shouldn't do that, thus ending the situation. If you people think I'm cheap, so what, I doubt I make as much as you do, so I'm bound to tip less as I have less income to tip. I'm not ashamed about that and I don't brag either.
So she should have to deliver ten friggin drinks to make 5 bucks??? Dude I tip $5 the first drink just to make sure she comes back. Dude you might not be a complete person by not talking trash back to us. But common dude I hope this is a joke or something you have got to be the cheapest dude in the world and dont deserve the luxories of Vegas.
I have more to verify my story. I remember it was the night UNLV played it's first game of the season against Minnesota. I believe the game kicked off around 8pm and I arrived the bar a few minutes after kickoff. The bar was located to the right of the sportsbook and cashier, I can't remember it's name. The bartender was black, and not too friendly.
I'd suggest you contact the Aria Casino, ask for a copy of the survailence (if I misspelled that word, please let me know) tapes. Then and only then can my story be verified. Otherwise, it's my word against his!
I am not the type of person who brags about how much I tip, I'll leave that to you guys. But it is interesting that you said you had a good betting day, so you tipped more. I stated I was having a bad betting so I tipped less. Yet it's OK for you to do that, but not me?
ad160, my income is not as good as the other guys that brag about their big tips. I'm sorry you feel that way, but every tip should appreciated. If I had a big day, the tips get bigger.
It's also kind of odd that I have acted in a respectful manner, and you act the way you do?
Sorry bud, you don't deserve to be tipped!
Pro- this service/waitress/tipping thing is not something you seem to understand so good but you sure understand how to work the system. You post you play pennies to ply drinks and you hustle buffet lines to eat cheap. Do you sleep under an overpass or why don't you get in line at ST. Vincents were you don't tip at all?
This internet reparte isn't a strong suit either.
I was too embarrassed to say this, but I will. I'm unemployed and am trying to make a living in Vegas with my savings. When I first moved here, I was playing slots, table games and sportsbetting. The slots and table games sure made me a loser, fast. I have eliminated them and just stick to sports betting, where I've done good, made enough to keep a roof over my heaed.
The attitudes you bring forth are disappointing. My tipping has gone down because I'm more concerned about my survival. But I still appreciate being treated respectfully by the service people, and that waitress at the Wynn really made me feel good.
These are not good times we live in. Everybody has felt some pain. I am not ashamed of how I operate. I have to survive. And I'd bet if any of you moved here and tried to gamble for a living, you'd also cut back on your expenses.
Living here also lets you see how the hotel/casinos really try to gouge the visitors. My goal is to let visitors know how to stretch their budgets out so they can stay longer and enjoy more.
Wow, 666, I certainly will not say that about you or anybody else.
