Twinkle's Kitchen | Tomato Goat Cheese Pie
After what seems like a lifetime waiting for tomatoes to come in, I'm finally able to harvest some of the heirlooms we planted. These juicier, meatier and long-awaited treasures are picked right off the vine, carried straight into the kitchen and promptly devoured.
Don't wait around to eat these. Heirlooms need to be eaten within a week for the best taste.
One of my favorite ways to use heirloom tomatoes is in one of my favorite summer harvest dishes – Tomato & Goat Cheese Pie.
Heirloom varieties are better in general for making this dish because of their added density. They tend to be meatier and contain fewer seeds. This makes them ideal for a baked dish because they will hold together better when cooked, unlike some hothouse varieties that tend to be more mushy and have more seeds.
Part of the reason this dish is so fantastic is the crust. Flaky, buttery and melt-in-your-mouth piecrust is a must.
This dish is also the perfect way to incorporate other local foods. Eggs, cheeses and fresh basil are all items that you can grab at a farmer's market or local grower.
And don't worry about leftovers. There won't be any. So you better make two!
Twinkle's Tomato & Goat Cheese Pie
Makes 2 pies
2-10" tart pans - greased and floured
Twinkle's Perfect Pie Crust
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup of cold, unsalted butter
1 tbs. sea salt
¼ cup of water
2 tbs. red wine vinegar
Ice cubes
For the filling:
8 ripe small heirloom tomatoes, sliced about ¼ inch thick
6 eggs + 3 egg whites – room temp
1 ½ cups goat cheese – room temp
1 tbs. cracked black pepper
2 tsp. sea salt
1/3 cup fresh basil, cut into thin strips (chiffonade)
3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 small sweet yellow onion, finely diced
A little olive oil for brushing the tops of the tomatoes
Place your flour and salt into a mixer and gently turn on low to incorporate. Be careful not to overmix or overknead or your crust will be tough.
While this mixes for a minute or so, put your water and vinegar into a glass or measuring cup and add 3-4 ice cubes. You want the water to be chilled.
Chop your butter into small pieces and begin to add to your mixer.
Let the butter incorporate into the flour slowly, adding a little at a time.
Turn the speed up a notch to a medium low (1 or 2.)
Once the flour/butter combo begins to look and feel a little like cornmeal, slowly start adding the liquid. If the dough does not begin to come together, you can add a few drops at a time until it just forms.
Pull out the dough and knead together gently a few times on a floured surface.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin a little thinner than ¼ of an inch. Press into your tart pans and place into the refrigerator until the filling is ready.
The filling:
Sauté the onions and garlic until they turn clear. Let cool.
Mix your eggs and whisk until blended. Add in the softened goat cheese and whisk well.
Add in your spices, garlic and onions including all of the basil, except for about 1 tbs., and mix well.
Pour the mixture into the chilled pie crusts and jiggle a little to let it settle.
Begin layering your tomato slices around into the filling, brushing a little of the egg mixture onto the tops of the tomatoes.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes on 365 degrees F until the crust and the pie begins to lightly brown and the center is cooked.
Cool completely on racks before slicing.
Brush tomatoes with a bit of olive oil and then sprinkle the remaining basil onto the tops of the pies.

Beyonce Master Cleanse – Why It Is So Successful
Beyonce Master Cleanse

==>Click HERE to Get the Master Cleanse Secrets Today<==
The Beyonce Master Cleanse can be done almost every 2-3 months without getting hospitalized if you do it correctly.
Beyonce Master Cleanse
There are instances and evidence of the people who have been following the Beyonce master cleanse religiously every 2-3 months and the feeling that they feel is said to be ecstatic, Beyonce being one of them. Besides, vegetables , and citrus fruits that are recommended in the master cleanse recipe, are a rich source on vitamin-c and other nutrients required by the body.
Not only does the Beyonce master cleanse help you lose weight, but it also assists you in detoxifying your body and helps you regain vitality.
Beyonce who is well known for her curvaceous figure has revealed her secret of weight loss by drinking water garnished with Cayenne Pepper, which is also known as the lemonade diet; in other words another success story of Stanley Burroughs Master Cleanse.
Beyonce Master Cleanse
Beyonce's diet is not actually an actual form of diet, it's just a rename of the Master Cleanse, after the fan Beyonce. The so called famous Beyonce diet actually consists of detoxifying ingredients like lemons, herbal salt, mixed with maple Syrup, and cayenne pepper which then turns into a weight loss drink.
In fact, the complete gist of the Beyonce Master Cleanse diet would be as follows:
Two tablespoons of lemon or lime juice, preferably fresh-squeezed from organic citrus (about half a lemon or lime) two tablespoons genuine Grade B maple syrup (not maple flavored syrup)
A pinch of cayenne pepper with eight ounces of water (many people recommend purified or filtered water) cold or at room temperature.
Mix all of the ingredients and drink, and voilla! there's your Beyonce diet ready to sip.
Beyonce Master Cleanse diet is the actual and effective use of the master cleanse diet, or lemonade Diet, or maple syrup diet. This has a miraculous result in detoxifying the body, and thus getting rid of the stimulants in the body which accumulate and acts like a tanker of oil, in other words is pure fats, and cholesterol, well now these substances need no introduction about their hazardous effects on the body.
Beyonce Knowles is not a new diet guru, but instead, simply used what many health food aficionados have known for decades: a liquid diet incorporating lemons and a sugary substance will detoxify your colon and will help you to shed weight in the process.
It's really amazing to see what the Master Cleanse can do for a determined person with a strong desire to make a change in their life.
The best part about the Master Cleanse is it only takes 10 days. That means in less than a week and a half you could be slimmer, healthier, and enjoy more energy all by following this simple Master Cleanse system found by clicking on the link below.

Subaru WRX 2002-2003, 5000XS Series Drilled and Slotted Replacement Front Rotor (DBA5010.1XS) by DBA®. One per pack. This is a replacement outer rotor section of the 2-piece 5000XS series front rotor that features an aluminum center section. Crafted with high-carbon iron and cured with a patented process that reduces metal stress, the rotor edges feature 3 paint marks which change color to reflect different levels of metal temperature, and 144 pillars between rotor faces provide faster cooling and greater strength to reduce heat warpage and extend life. Recommended for use with performance modified street vehicles. Sized to exact OEM dimensions for easy, bolt-on replacement without modification.
- One replacement iron outer rotor section as originally found on the 5000XS series disc brake rotor with aluminum center section
- Bolts together easily with your existing center section without drilling or welding
- Save money without replacing the entire 2-piece section
- 3 paint marks on rotor edges change color visibly to reflect that brake rotors have reached different levels of operating temperatures
- Crafted from iron with high carbon content which achieves low levels of noise, vibration, and harshness
- Outer rotor sections are treated with a patented Thermal Stability Process to reduce metal stress which weakens iron over many heating and cooling cycles
- Paint on all non-contact rotor areas provides a high level of style and corrosion resistance
- "Kangaroo Paw" design features 144 spaced pillars between inner and outer faces of each rotor that provide faster cooling and greater strength than traditional slotted cooling fins
- Lower rotor temperatures greatly reduce rotor warpage and boiling brake fluid which causes pedal fade
- Break-in bedding period for new rotor sections will take approximately 186 miles / 300 kilometers
- Manufacturer warranties rotors for 12 months or 12,000 miles
If you have already equipped your vehicle with 5000XS lightweight two-piece front brake rotors that contain aluminum center sections and your rotors have become scored, grooved, rusted, or worn to minimum thickness, this iron outer rotor section is available independently at a lower cost. Because it features the same quality design features and construction as DBAs original rotor section, youll benefit from the iron outer rotors slotted grooves and cross-drilled holes that provide supremely effective management of the heat, dust, and gasses that build up during aggressive driving. You will also find those performance benefits continue in the rain and at racetrack speeds as temperatures get even higher. Because of the evenly spaced slots across the entire rotor surface, any pads will wear more consistently and eliminate "lip" formation along the outside edge of the rotor. Black paint is applied to all non-contact areas to ensure these rotors continue to look good and resist corrosion during their extended lifespans.
For the serious performance driver thats mindful of avoiding high rotor temperatures that cause brake fluid boiling and pedal fade, DBA equips each 5000XS rotor with three paint marks that monitor brake rotor temperature and change color as different points are reached. A green line becomes white at 856 degrees Fahrenheit, an orange line changes to yellow at 1,022 degrees Fahrenheit, and a pink line also changes to white when temperatures exceed 1,166 degrees Fahrenheit. While these brake rotors will reach high temperatures eventually after heavy sustained use, they will take longer than others to reach those temperatures. Theyll maintain their cool under most conditions thanks to high-carbon iron rotor sections which resist temperature buildup better initially, and because of vented centers with 144 tear-drop shaped pillars which result in more metal contact and better cooling than traditional fins.
Like all high-performance DBA rotors, 5000XS outer rotor sections are cured during production and heat-treated with a patented Thermal Stability Process - reducing metal stress and preventing iron from weakening internally over many heating and cooling cycles. Combined with lower overall operating temperatures, these rotors are much more resistant to the warping and hotspotting which typically shorten both pad and rotor lifespan. DBA matches or exceeds vehicle manufacturer rotor warranties by ensuring that these brake discs will remain usable and free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year or 12,000 miles.
262.83Brand: DBA Part Number: DBA5010.1XSDisc Brakes Australia (DBA) specializes in precision crafted brake rotors with innovative designs and material compounds that resist heat buildup far better than products from competitors - giving you increased stopping power with smooth progressive application, lower noise, vibration, and harshness, and greater resistance to the rotor warpage that shortens usable lifespan of all brake components. DBA offers a variety of slotted rotors with and without cross-drilled holes in traditional 1-piece construction and 2-piece aluminum center construction for reduced mass. Headquartered in Austraila, DBA has United States operations in Detroit, Michigan. CARiD is proud to offer the full lineup of DBA rotors at great values.

Death and the King's HorsemanBased on events that took place in Oyo, an ancient Yoruba city of Nigeria, in 1946, Wole Soyinka's powerful play concerns the intertwined lives of Elesin Oba, the king's chief horseman; his son, Olunde, now studying medicine in England; and Simon Pilkings, the colonial district officer. The king has died and Elesin, his chief horseman, is expected by law and custom to commit suicide and accompany his ruler to heaven. The stage is set for a dramatic climax when Pilkings learns of the ritual and decides to intervene and Elesin's son arrives home. "Soyinka both entertains and asks subtle questions about mass psychology, individual psychology, and universal human struggles of the will."�Chicago Tribune |

PRISM has helped thwart more than 50 terrorist acts worldwide, NSA director Gen. Keith Alexander has said.
But CNN terror analyst Peter Bergen doesn't think such broad surveillance has helped foil significant plots on U.S. soil. Normal police work has done the job in the overwhelming majority of cases.
PRISM's supporters and critics are divided between both parties, creating unlikely alliances between Democrats and Republicans to defend or condemn PRISM.
Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor promised "serious investigations into potential wrongdoing" over the program, while his party colleague, Rep. Peter King of New York, said journalists involved in reporting stories about the surveillance programs should be investigated for violating national security.
Snowden has fled to Hong Kong. Lawmakers in Washington are building a criminal case against him.

Happy Deathday, Mr. Hughes!
On this day, in 1967, American writer and social-activist, Langston Hughes died of prostate cancer at the age of 65.
Hughes is widely considered to be one of the most important black writers of the 20th century.
In 1926 he published "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" in The Nation, an essay that would influence the Harlem Renaissance for years to come.
Poetry, plays, short stories, nonfiction and memoirs… Hughes wrote it all. One of our favorite poems by Mr. Hughes will always be "A Negro Speaks of Rivers". Hughes was speaking specifically of the Kaw River, which figures heavily in recollections of his youth, spent in Lawrence, Kansas.
Hughes strongly believed that "black art" should represent the experiences and culture of the black "folk." His work was infused with blues and jazz culture and reflected the soul of the urban working class at that time. Some of his more famous writing associated with the Harlem Renaissance include the collections of poems, The Weary Blues (1926) and Fine Clothes to the Jew (1927); the novel Not Without Laughter (1930); and a personal favorite of ours, a collection of short stories called The Ways of White Folks (1934).
His influence, even today, upon not only "black art" but on the whole of politically charged writers and artists, is undeniable.
Today, think about your culture… your roots. Because in the end, it's not really about whether you're black or white anymore… (or at least, it shouldn't be) … it's about what you, as a voice of your generation, have to say about social injustice across the world… it's about what you have to say about your own identity and how it fits into the environment and time in which we live now. Write for your people today… whoever they may be.
Write on in Peace, Mr. Hughes!

Bridging generations with ageless love
Height: 6"About the Author
Willow Tree is an intimate, personal line of figurative sculptures representing qualities and sentiments that help us feel close to others, heal wounds, or treasure relationships. Susan Lordi carves each original piece with this thought in mind. Her figures continue to evolve as she identifies emotions so important for us to convey, and renders them in simple, pure gestures. These art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope… all the emotions of a life well lived.
The name Willow Tree was chosen to symbolize that which is gestural and beckoning. The figures are columnar in design, like a tree, and often carry natural objects or animals as metaphors for human virtues or qualities… rosemary for remembrance, a bird for healing, flowers for beauty.
The sculptures are rendered so as to suggest elegance, simplicity, peace and serenity. Forms reveal their expressions through body gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Emotions are left to the viewer to discern, which makes them personal and powerful. Willow Tree is an understated line that speaks in a compelling way.

There's "Ship of Fools," ship of state, and ship of the desert. For us, Carnival Valor turned out to be "Ship of Surprises."
The theme of the ship's decor is "Heroes and Heroism," paying homage not just to Americans, but to heroes from the virtually every corner of the world. Nonetheless, Americana -- and America's heroes -- form the glue that unites the various rooms and public spaces. Passengers are first introduced to that theme as they board through Deck 3's atrium lobby.
One would think that America's colors, red, white and blue, would hand Carnival's interior designer Joe Farcus carte blanche to indulge in his favored bright, bold primary colors, splashing blindingly bright whites and eye-popping reds and blues throughout the ship. And there comes the first surprise. While you won't think you've strolled into the foyer of a Wall Street Bank when you board, this lobby is subdued for a Farcus design. Broad marble floors capitalize on an American flag motif, with alternating inlaid stripes of dark burnt orange (representing red) and pale gray (for white) abutting a navy blue rectangular field set with small pale gray squares (in lieu of stars). A small dance floor fronting the bar is fashioned from wavy stripes of inlaid burgundy and white-colored hardwood. And wood is used freely and copiously elsewhere in the ship, instead of brass for banisters and glass, mirrors and chrome for many wall surfaces.
To be sure, there is still plenty of Farcus bling in the details: All around the ship are gaudy molded gold leaf-gilded eagles on simulated pedestals; coffered ceilings of shiny, reflective materials; and enough blinking lights and flashing video screens to trigger a 1960's strobe light flashback.
Valor's architecture is a conventional sandwich with most public rooms on Decks 3 through 5, most fitness, spa and casual dining on Decks 9 and above, and most passenger cabins in between, or below the public room decks. This basic design has been a template for Carnival new-build construction since the introduction of Carnival Destiny in 1996 -- which is why we were so surprised to find Valor should be plagued by serious passenger flow problems, kinks that should have been ironed out years ago.
Simply stated, when you want to go from Point A (as in "Aft") to Point B (as in "Bow") on one of the three public room decks -- a necessity, for example to get to the Ivanhoe Lounge (the main showroom, all the way forward) after dinner in the Washington Dining Room (all the way aft) -- you will run into a blockade somewhere amidships that will force you to detour. On Deck 3 it's the galley; on Deck 4 you don't necessarily have to climb or descend a deck to get through, as long as you don't mind having to walk through a low-ceilinged oxygen-challenged cigar bar or wind your way through a busy dining room, snaking between tables while people are giving you dirty looks over their soup spoons. On Deck 5, you can make the trip, but only by passing through another of the ship's smokiest areas, "King Boulevard," the main promenade, which is squeezed between the casino, karaoke and live music lounges, disco, and piano and wine bars, all of which are smoking-permitted.
Public Rooms
This was, for us, an area of surprise and a serious case of "What were they thinking?" The location of many public rooms, their size, or designated use seemed ill-conceived. Consider, for example, the Internet cafe, whose sole entrance is buried inside Winston's Cigar, the ship's lounge for cigar aficionados, forcing anyone who wants to use the ship's computers to wade through a miasma of stogie smoke. Fortunately, there is Wi-Fi available shipwide at the same rate as the cafe (40 to 75 cents per minute depending on packages) so it makes sense to bring a laptop.
The choice of placement and size for Winston's, itself, is another head-scratcher. This lounge -- a convivial, leather paean to Winston Churchill and British 1940's men's clubs -- stretches the entire width of the ship, and seats 147. We never counted more than six actually partaking of cigars, but that was enough to make passage through the room unpleasant. On the other hand, Bronx Bar, the ship's sports bar -- always a major attraction on Carnival vessels -- held only about a third as many as Winston's Cigar, and was always overflowing on days sports events were televised.
Of course, Carnival is mostly about fun, and, in addition to the musical entertainment provided in the lounges, the Shogun Club Casino does a bang up job with a slew of slots and just about every table game you've ever encountered. In addition, for those who want to get on the real poker (as opposed to Caribbean Stud, Let it Ride and their ilk) can indulge in a true Vegas poker room-style Texas Hold 'Em game at one corner of the casino.
Valor has four dining venues: the two main rooms, dubbed Lincoln and Washington; Rosie's, the huge, sprawling two-story Lido Deck restaurant (which doubles as a casual alternative dinner spot); and Scarlett's, the ship's for-fee upscale alternate nighttime eatery, an utterly charming supper club.
Rosie's is a bright and sunny spot that graphically pays tribute to that legendary icon of World War II America, Rosie the Riveter. There are several buffet lines, plus plenty of room to maneuver with your tray. But for the guest requiring assistance carrying their food to their table, it is limited in availability at best. Indoor seating is available on Lido Deck (Deck 9) and the mezzanine one deck above. Outdoor tables are plentiful around the central pool, or on the fantail surrounding the aft pool, which is topped by a closeable dome.
The two main dining rooms are virtually identical in decor, save that each carries different bas-relief plaques of its namesake president. The lower levels of these rooms stretch the entire width of the ship and are open in the middle, allowing those not along the outer walls a quieter, less claustrophobic dining experience. Of the two rooms we recommend Washington, specifically the upper level, which is less intense and seems relatively more intimate. However, we strongly suggest asking specifically
to be seated in the Lincoln upper level, for reasons mentioned earlier. Both dining rooms have numerous banquettes accommodating parties of four, and an adequate number of tables for as many as 10. It should also be noted that Valor has an unusually high percentage of tables for two.
Serving format is traditional, with two set dinner seatings at 6 and 8:15 p.m. Service, from a dining room staff that is becoming increasingly Eastern European in makeup, is friendly, patient, professional and refreshing.
Scarlett's, located on Deck 10 and isolated from the rest of the ship's nighttime hullabaloo, is an island of low-key quiet and refinement. The name refers to the headstrong Ms. O'Hara of Tara. We might question who, in that novel or movie, qualifies for Carnival's thematic sobriquet, "Hero," in the same way we might quibble about the elegance of using plasticized imitation marble columns meant to convey the decor of a genteel antebellum plantation. But given the superior quality of the service, food and wine list, frankly, we don't give a damn. Scarlett's is a true supper club, with a small combo that plays at a volume level that doesn't annihilate conversation, so on the dance floor, before dinner or between courses, it's possible to chat and cha cha at the same time.
But the biggest -- and most pleasant -- surprise for us about Scarlett's was the fact that the bar and dance floor are open to all passengers, even those not dining there. This was a godsend for a ship that has nary a single intimate lounge to enjoy a quiet pre-dinner cocktail or a late night tete-a-tete where you aren't pummeled by acoustic levels that would drive deadheads to order earplugs or cigarette smoke clouds so thick they created a new category of pollutant: third-hand smoke.
The menu at Scarlett's emulates the great prime meat houses like Smith and Wollensky or the Palm. There is a $30 per-person charge to dine here, plus optional gratuity. Reservations are required, but we found the room lightly booked. For those who want to play it safe, there is a signup desk in the lobby on embarkation day right at the end of the gangway. Dress code for Scarlett's is "upscale casual" (no jeans, shorts, T-shirts, etc.).
If we were to pick Valor's biggest surprise it would be the food itself. It was superior by orders of magnitude in variety, concept and execution from any Carnival ship's cuisine we'd experienced in the past. The only weak spot was breakfast, which lacked any innovative offerings in both Rosie's buffet and the sit-down Washington Dining Room. To be sure, all items were well-prepared: bacon and potato patties were crisp; pastries, though limited in variety, were fresh; and the chefs at the cook-to-order egg station at Rosie's managed to move the orders along efficiently.
Lunch at Rosie's includes the four buffet lines, but adds windows for Asian, pizza, deli, burger/hot dog grill and fish and chips.
As one would expect, the grill and pizza stations' quality corresponds to how busy they are. When they are slammed, the quality increases, as their output goes straight from grill or oven to plate; when the lunchtime rush is past, you are likely to find dishes that have spent the better part of their lives under heat lamps. The deli and Asian stations did an excellent job. The deli's sandwiches were piled high, and the corned beef and pastrami were high quality and heated to just the right temperature. The Asian window served a variety of palate-pleasing pan-Asian delicacies that changed daily. Spring rolls were crisp; vegetables nicely stir fried. Preparations -- and this is a compliment -- did not cater to Western tastes. Spicy, sour and pungent dishes were unabashedly what they purported to be.
But the real diamond in the rough for lunch at Rosie's was the upstairs fish and chips restaurant. Try this one early in the week, since most passengers fail to discover it for at least half the cruise, meaning no lines and no waiting. "Fish and chips" is a misnomer. They do serve fish and chips, the fish deliciously battered and fried (and French fries the freshest, most cooked-to-order found anywhere on the ship). But that's only one choice. They also have a very nice Bouillabaisse, seared rare tuna served atop a fresh square of watermelon, fried oyster sandwiches and a bunch of other seafood delicacies.
Dinners in the main dining rooms were inventive, made use of quality ingredients, and invariably arrived at the proper temperature. This was a cruise during which we had not a single meal we would deem a disappointment. Many menus had international accents, and there was frequent use of such trendy ingredients as feta cheese, caviar, rosehip, jicama, Yukon Gold potatoes and baby bok choy. Fusions proliferate, such as Seared Pike Perch on Minted Couscous with Artichoke Foo Yung in Crayfish Vermouth Jus. Each dinner menu included an arrangement of courses that qualified as a "spa" menu, and vegetarian selections for each course.
Most unusual are "degustation" entrees, offering a selection of numerous small portions of a variety of dishes. "Essence of Japan," which was served at the Captain's Welcome Dinner, included: Jumbo Shrimps in Filo; Salmon and Kelp Tempura Roll in Truffled Yuzu Sauce; Petite Filet Mignon with Wasabe Pepper Sauce; Bonito Crusted Green Beans; Poached Tofu Steak on Tosa Zu and Watercress Salad.
There is continental breakfast available during breakfast hours through room service, and there is a 24-hour typical cruise line menu of snacks, desserts and sandwiches. All room service is free of charge.
Also available on all of Carnival's ships is The Chef's Table dining experience, which affords a dozen passengers a multicourse dinner with a master chef, a private cocktail reception and a tour of the galley and its operations. This dining option usually takes place in a nontraditional venue, such as the galley or library, and it can be booked onboard at the information desk for a per-person cost of $75.
Carnival Valor's predominant color scheme continues throughout the passenger accommodations. The burnt orange color is carried by the carpeting and accented by the pastel orange upholstery. The reliance on wood as the major design accent is echoed as well. Cabinetry, end tables, moldings and other accents are natural-finished cherry. Sixty percent of standard outside cabins have balconies, though the verandahs are really too small for enjoying sunning or dining. (Ours had two reclining chairs and a small table, but there wasn't enough space to completely recline either of the chairs.) We found the amount of storage space available in both the bathroom and closets and drawers to be the most generous we've encountered on any other mass-market ship.
Each year Carnival ratchets up the in-cabin amenities, the newest addition since we last sailed being bathrobes. In the bathrooms -- all with stall showers except for suites -- there is a bowl of promotional samples, the sort that appear in your mailbox about the time Procter & Gamble launches a new product. Our selection included toothpaste, pain relievers, moisturizer and face cream, mouthwash, antacids, and disposable razors. Shampoo and body wash dispensers are in the shower stall. One nice inclusion in bathrooms was a swing-out magnifying makeup and shaving mirror.
Cabins include television with satellite feeds of the major networks, CNN and cable movies -- and a host of infomercial-style offerings hyping everything from onboard shops to casino, spa and shore excursions. There is also a channel devoted to re-broadcasting talks, activities or other events in the Ivanhoe Lounge. Interactive choices include onboard account review, and shore excursion descriptions and booking.
Each stateroom also has a safe and a minibar stocked with a good selection of beer, wine, water, juices, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, as well as snacks. Cabin stewards check the fridge once or twice during the cruise and refill as needed.
Suites are slightly less than twice the size of standard cabins, and include the additional amenities of bathtubs and VCR's.
There are 18 family staterooms with floor-to-ceiling windows (so parents need not worry about Junior deciding to play "I am the king of the world!" while balancing on the balcony railing) located on Deck 11, one deck below the kids' pool area and Camp Carnival.
Prospective passengers should exercise care when booking to avoid surprises. Six Category 5A standard outside staterooms, for example, have portholes rather than windows. There are a few Category 6B outside cabins with obstructed views, and a good number of cabins with twin beds that can't be combined into a single king bed.
Carnival recommends $11.50 per person, per day. The guidelines allocate $5.80 to dining room services, $3.70 to cabin services and $2 per day for alternative services, which include kitchen, entertainment, guest services and other hotel staff members. The amount is automatically added to your shipboard account, but can be adjusted in either direction at the guest services desk. A 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to bar bills. Tipping for room service at delivery is expected (and appreciated) by the service staff.
Fitness and Recreation
A trait inherited from Carnival Destiny, the line's first 100,000-plus-ton ship, the open sunning area on Carnival Valor is maximized by structuring eight tiered plateaus from just above Deck 10 to the surface of Deck 9, creating an expanse of space to place chaises. (Not that it makes enough difference that there isn't still a problem with books and towels mysteriously appearing on lounges at 7 a.m., though no actual guests show up to use the chairs till after 11). As for adult pools, there are three: two on Deck 9, each with two whirlpool spas, and one, basically a splash pool at the end of the waterslide, on Deck 10. Kids have their own wading pool on Deck 12 right outside Camp Carnival.
Valor's spa is a Steiner franchise operation offering sauna, massage and salon services, as well as a fully equipped gym with loads of modern workout machines, free weights and a whole area devoted solely to spinning. The facility faces forward, offering dramatic views through picture windows. New offerings from the spa include tooth whitening and men's barbering.
Other fitness options include a jogging track on Deck 11 with nine circuits equaling a mile, and basketball and volleyball courts. There is a golf-driving cage, and instruction is offered through the ship's onboard golf program.
Every year, especially with the launch of new classes of vessel, Carnival's family programs and facilities are expanded.
Kids are broken into groups by age. There are three groups under the Camp Carnival banner, ranging from preschool to preteen (2 - 5, 6 - 8, and 9 - 11). There is an additional young teen group for 12- to 14-year-olds. A new program, Club O2, has been developed in conjunction with Coca-Cola for older teens (15- to 17-year-olds). Generally, the younger the group, the more their activities are conducted in the Camp Carnival playroom; the youngest ones are there for 90 percent of their supervised activities; the Club O2 kids' programs utilize the entire ship.
The playroom measures 4,200 square ft. and features a video wall displaying nonstop movies and cartoons, a soft play area for children under the age of 2 (admitted only for supervised nighttime group babysitting), and ample space and equipment for arts and crafts -- everything from the standbys of papier-mache and painting to devices that make spin and sand art and even candy. There is also a shift to more educational activities: a computer lab with educational games, SeaNotes (a music program), H2Ocean (science), and EduCruise (culture, history and geography of the Caribbean).
For preteens and teens there's the Caboose, an 1,800-square-ft. facility featuring a huge video arcade, a non-alcoholic bar and dance club with its own DJ. On port days there are "just for teens" shore excursions for the 12- through 17-year-olds.
Dining options in the formal dining rooms include the usual kids' menus and a daily kids' special. Kids can also dine nightly with the youth counselors sans parents in Rosie's.
Group babysitting is available nightly at a rate of $6 per hour for the first child and $4 per hour for each addition child from the same family.
Fellow Passengers
Expect a largely American, high energy, casual group with a penchant for having fun. The demographics for Caribbean sailings tend to skew to the younger end of the scale. (Carnival estimates only 30 percent over 55.) Though Carnival's passengers tend to be fiercely loyal, because of low fares this is very much an entry-level cruise for many, so there is always a large number of first-timers.
Dress Code
Casual, casual, casual. Though blue jeans are now off the verboten list, shorts and t-shirts are still no-no's at dinner ... but that's about it. Even Scarlett's does not have a dress code beyond the nebulous "dressy casual."
There are two formal nights, and a larger percentage of passengers go to the dressier end of the scale: men in tuxedos, women in cocktail dresses and gowns.
On Carnival Valor sea days mean fun and games. There are the usual staples: bingo, horseracing, trivia and pool games. There's also a subset derived from popular television shows: "Survivor," "Family Feud" and "The Newlywed Game." For those who like to compete on a different level, there are the ubiquitous art auctions where passengers can butt heads to see who can snare the most objets d'art. The few lectures and seminars were really not-so-thinly disguised promotional presentations mounted by the boutiques or spa.
When in port, the ship mounts a very efficient shore excursion operation, though few of the offerings seemed unique. One exception was the "Rapid Explorer high-speed ferry to St. Barth's," offered in St. Maarten, allowing passengers who would rather spend their time in that less-visited, chichi port a way to get there in 40 minutes. It is also unique in that it is offered at a price through the shore excursion department which is lower than the price the operator lists on their brochure! Shore excursion personnel don't regularly accompany guests on excursions as they do on some ships, but ship's photographers often do.
Valor has a complete range of musical offerings from heavily classical to heavy metal. For those who enjoy spending their days soaking up rays around the pools, there is a requisite island band that plays from after lunch till just before dinner. A classical trio holds forth at tea in Winston's Cigar and before dinner in the lobby. Other choices on our sailing included a solo blues guitarist (who performed just outside the casino), a jazz trio performing nightly in Winston's Cigar, a rock band in the Paris Hot Jazz Club, and a pianist at the rotating piano in the center of the Lindy Hop Piano Bar. We found all these performers to be excellent at their craft.
The Eagles Show Lounge was home to a nightly round of karaoke, and the One Small Step dance club was disco-central late nights. It is in the decor and execution of theme in these lounges that the typically quirky, whimsical Farcus style emerges: Lindy Hop, commemorating Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic flight, has the piano bar sandwiched between three-dimensional models of the Empire State Building and Eiffel Tower on opposite walls; simulated stars twinkle in the black ceiling under which a model of the Spirit of St. Louis spins its propellers and an animated pathway of lights trace the route of flight. One Small Step pays tribute to Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon, with reproduction volcanoes that periodically belch clouds of mist, while planets and stars adorn the ceiling. The illuminated white marble floor is decorated with black "footprints," as are the tabletops.
Ivanhoe, the main show lounge, covers an expanse of three decks. We found a substantial number of seats less than desirable due to intervening columns or being under a claustrophobia-inducing balcony overhang. Seating is in banquettes with fixed small pedestals for drinks, or wide, theater-type seating in the balconies. The theme refers to the hero of Sir Walter Scott's medieval period novel, and is executed with faux tapestries and simulated wood beams. The proscenium is masked by a representation of a medieval castle, and fiberglass knights in armor line the walls. The whole thing is a bit kitschy, even for Joe Farcus.
The ship, however, does make good use of the room's capabilities, with two production shows (one for each formal night), a tribute to nightclubs around the world, and a review based on the music and trends of the 1980's. Other nights saw various variety acts: singers, comics, jugglers, etc.

Also known as: Lead flake, Orow (polish), Pb, CI pigment Metal 4 Chemical reference number (CAS): 7439-92-1
Lead is a naturally occurring toxic metal. It may be found in its pure form or in combination with other minerals. Lead has no nutritional value, but is very valuable in manufacturing. In industry, lead is used in the production of batteries, solder, paints, ammunition, sheet metal, and other metal alloys.
Lead is often found in paint sold before 1978. Since 1978, paint sold for residential use can contain no more than 600 parts per million lead. Most lead is now used to manufacture car batteries. Other lead sources include bullets, fishing weights, curtain weights, some glazed ceramics, and plumbing solders made before 1986. Less common sources include the solder on some imported canned goods, cosmetics (ceruse, surma or kohl), folk medicines (azarcon, Greta, Pay-loo-ah), and paints used on steel structures such as bridges or water towers.
Drinking/Eating: People can be exposed to lead when they ingest contaminated water or foods that are stored in lead-glazed ceramic dishware.
The most common route for lead exposure in children is by mouth. Young children like to put their fingers, toys and other objects in their mouths. They especially like to do this when they are teething. Dust or chips from lead-based paint can easily poison pre-school aged children.
Less common, but more dangerous exposures occur when children eat paint chips or soil containing lead. Lead tastes sweet, which makes it attractive to children, especially to hungry children.
People who work with lead products can expose their family to lead. Exposure may occur if they bring lead-covered work clothes home for laundering or wear their contaminated clothes around the home.
Lead can dissolve from the solder of water pipes, particularly if the water is heated or naturally soft. Use cold water when cooking or when preparing infant formula. Hot water tends to dissolve lead from solder in pipes.
Breathing: Lead in the air results from emissions from smelting operations or waste incinerators. Soil and dust may contain fine lead particles created by car exhaust (when burning leaded gasoline) or from sanding or grinding old lead paint. Soldering leaded glass, firing ceramic glazes that contain lead, melting lead or burning old lead paint can release hazardous metal fumes.
Touching: Lead is not readily absorbed through the skin.
State and federal drinking water standards for lead are set at 15 parts per billion (ppb). We suggest you stop drinking water containing more than 15 parts per billion (ppb) of lead. If your plumbing system contains lead solder or lead pipes, running the cold water two to three minutes before using the water will usually lower the lead in the water to safe levels.
The average person in the U.S. has less than 5 micrograms of lead per deciliter (dL) of blood.
Lead is a tricky poison to identify. At low or moderate levels of exposure, children often have no symptoms or they may have general symptoms like those of other common childhood illnesses. Health effects get more severe as blood lead levels increase. The following information describes the effects on human health at various levels of lead in blood.
10-35 mircograms/dL in Children or 10-40 micrograms/dL in Adults. Usually there are no visible symptoms. These levels, if they persist, can cause subtle learning and behavior problems in children.
35-50 micrograms/dL in Children or 40-60 micrograms/dL in Adults. There may be no symptoms. If symptoms are there, they may include general fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, tremors, headaches, abdominal pain, anemia, vomiting, weight loss and/or constipation. These can be mistaken for other illnesses. Adults with elevated blood lead levels are also at risk for high blood pressure and kidney problems.
Over 50 micrograms/dL in Children or over 60 micrograms/dL in Adults. There may be no symptoms, or there may be symptoms as listed above under "Moderate." At very high levels, symptoms can include convulsions, paralysis, coma or death.
In general, chemicals affect the same organ systems in all people who are exposed. However, the seriousness of the effects may vary from person to person. It is also important to consider the length of exposure to the chemical; the amount of chemical exposure; and whether the chemical was inhaled, touched, or eaten.
The effects of lead on adults are generally reversible. The effects on children under six years of age can be more severe and probably cannot be reversed. Children absorb up to 50% of the lead they eat, while adults absorb only about 10%. The nervous systems of children are more sensitive to damage from lead. The general health and nutrition of the exposed person, including iron or calcium deficiency and sickle cell disease, can affect the severity of symptoms.
A blood test can measure recent exposure to lead.
Seek medical advice if you have any symptoms that you think may be related to chemical exposure.
Children with blood lead levels as low as 10 micrograms/dL can experience subtle learning and behavior problems. They should be periodically re-tested to see if the levels are going down or up. Their families should find out ways to reduce childhood lead exposure.
Children with blood lead levels of 20 micrograms/dL or higher should be evaluated by a physician and have their environments assessed for lead hazards.
Children with blood levels of 45 micrograms/dL or higher should have chelation therapy to remove lead from their bodies.
Children with blood levels of 70 micrograms/dL or higher can have serious health problems. They should be immediately admitted to a medical treatment facility.

Hi Folks,
Bob Brownlee here. Was plugging pennies in my Whitman album in the late 50's. Have collected just
about every type of coin all my life (old stamps are cool too!). Did 5 years in submarine service, then was a civilian nuclear engineer for 25 years. Started buying and selling large cents on ebay 4 years ago to help pay the electric bill.
Always loved coins. My idea of a good time was going to the coin store and just leaning on the glass counter
and staring at the coins! Each coin is a piece of art, a piece of history, and tells its own unique story!
Joined EAC a year ago. Well, back to having fun! Oh, the cudabob nickname is because I drive a 1972 Cuda
with a 496 engine. There's high school kids out there that need to be taught a lesson!

Arsenal update: Nacho Monreal on the plane to London. Deal done? David Villa has gone shopping
Two quick bits of news at 5.30
As we mentioned earlier Nacho Monreal, the Malaga left back, looks like he is about to become an Arsenal player.
Spanish radio stations Radio Marca has reported that the player is on his way to London to finalise the deal. If so well done Arsene, and his erstwhile team mate Santi Cazorla, and fingers crossed he proves a better buy that one Andre Santos.
Goal is saying that the deal is done. It is rumoured to be a four year deal and that Arsenal have paid £10 million for the Spanish international.
Also the Daily Mail has said that David Villa has been spotted shopping in Barcelona this afternoon. Maybe he was buying his pals leaving presents?

numbers work well and look great. Bought them for my sons' jerseys. Numbers are just a little large for youth sizes, but you can make them fit.

Take your time when applying. Make sure you have everything centered, squared up correctly and aligned they way you want it. You only get one chance at this, so make it perfect. Make sure you get every section and part up to temperature. I used a large piece of cardboard inside the jersey and it worked very well. Been through a couple of washings now and appears to be holding up well. I would use this product again.

Lotto jackpot winners buy new prosthetic leg for brave Kieran (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

Heighington lad receives new prosthetic leg from Ayrshire lotto winners
8:30am Tuesday 31st July 2012 in News By Andy Walker , Chief Reporter (Darlington)
A TEENAGER who lost a leg to cancer "screamed with delight" after Britain's biggest ever lottery jackpot winners offered to buy him a new prosthetic limb.
Kieran Maxwell, pictured right taking part in the Olympic flame relay, from Heighington , near Darlington, was diagnosed with the rare and agressive cancer Ewings Sarcoma, which affects fewer than 30 children a year, in October 2010.
Despite undergoing gruelling rounds of chemotheraphy, the 13-year-old, had to have his left leg amputated below the knee in March last year. His parents, Nicola and Alistair, and seven-year-old sister Alyssa have held a string of fundraising events to buy Kieran a life-changing new leg, as his current prosthetic weighs more than a stone and slows him down.
A five-figure donation from lottery winners Chris and Colin Weir, from Ayrshire, in Scotland, has allowed the family to order Kieran's new leg immediately.
Mr and Mrs Weir have made several charitable donations since scooping £161m on the Euromillions in July last year.
The unexpected donation came after the grandmother of Kieran's school friend, who lives in the same village as the Weirs, heard about Kieran's situation and wrote to the wealthy couple to ask if they could help.
Mrs Maxwell said: "Kieran is our hero and we have been touched by all the support and kindness we've received since he was diagnosed with cancer.
"We thought it was going to take a long time to raise the money for a new prosthetic leg, but this donation from Chris and Colin means Kieran can get his new leg within six weeks. We can't explain how much this means to us and Kieran.
"He screamed when he heard the news because it means that not only will he be able to walk again like all his friends, he will be able to run and climb too.
"We can't thank the Weirs enough, because this will really change his life."
The family intend to continue fundraising as Kieran, who carried the Olympic torch through Bishop Auckland last month, will need new legs as he grows.
It is hoped he will have his new leg by the end of August.
Kieran is currently enjoying a camping trip with the Scouts in the Yorkshire Dales with a group of friends including Ewan Barr.
It was Ewan's grandmother, Lilian, who wrote the letter to the Weirs.
Speaking to The Northern Echo, Mrs Barr said: "I have never met Kieran, but have heard about him many times through Ewan and was thinking whether there was anything I could do to help. I do not know Chris and Colin, but they live nearby and they have done a lot locally, so I thought it was worth a try.
"I posted the letter on a Monday and by Thursday, I had had a call from their assistant, saying they wanted to help."
Mrs Weir said: "When we heard about Kieran and his family's fantastic efforts to raise money for a new prosthetic leg, we had to help.
"It is a privilege to support him and, with this new leg, we hope he will continue to be determined to remain active and live life to the full."
Mr and Mrs Maxwell are helping to organise a barbecue for the Toma Fund, which supports children with cancer.
The event will be held at Bannatyne's Hotel, in Darlington, on Friday, August 17, from 6.30pm. Tickets cost £15.95 for adults and £6.95 for children under 16. To book, visit tomafund

ASU's Foster and Hood named freshman All-Americans
Foster was selected to the first team as an all-purpose player, while Hood was selected to the second team as a defensive lineman.
Coming into the 2012 season as one of the most highly-rated recruits to sign with ASU in recent memory, Foster made an immediate impact on a Sun Devil squad in desperate need of a playmaker.
Storming out of the gate with 99 all-purpose yards and one touchdown in his first regular season game, the 5-foot-11, 183-pound running back proved to be one ASU's most versatile player.
Foster ended the regular season as ASU's third-leading rusher and second-leading receiver and showed the future looks bright for the Sun Devil offense.
On the other side of the ball, Hood became one of just six true freshmen in Arizona State history to start in their first college game. The 6-foot, 295-pound defensive lineman recorded his first sack against Missouri and had a career best five total tackles and one sack in ASU's loss to Oregon State.
Starting every game this season, Hood made his presence known on a defensive unit ranked second in the Pac-12 in total defense. Lining up alongside All-American standout Will Sutton, Hood ended the season with 23 total tackles, four off which were for a loss, and three sacks.
