Given Mr. Mazzocchi's principle above, I'll take this opportunity to introduce a principle from the American South (at least I think that's where it's from)... anyway... The "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" Principle. Ant has just worked in the past, I wasn't around or probably smart enough to understand why the move to maven but I can say from a user perspective it "don't work". I'm over at forrest and, for learning purposes, like to maintain a buildable trunk of Cocoon. That has been impossible since the move to maven. I obviously understand that progress happens in the face of this principle, but there are some cases where it should be respected. On a side note, I use the Cocoon code to learn forrest internals and that task has even been increasingly more difficult since the directory restructoring, which seems random at best. As you proceed with this discussion, I hope you'll appreciate that there are indirect/non-cocooners who are effected by the decisions you make... Anyway, just another perspective... And, thanks too:) --tim

I am a 45 year old mother of three boys. I am 5'8 and 175 pounds. I work out six days a week and just cannot get rid of this gross belly. I just want to look nice in clothes, don't feel the need to have a super models figure..I am 45!! lol I am really nervous about the procedure and getting an infection or a blood clot. I know the chances are low but I would never want to die due to a elective surgery...but I am at the point in my life I just want to feel good about myself. i am so self conscious of my belly and I want it gone!
Almost 2 years post tummy tuck and 45 pound weight loss post tummy tuck at 47 I am wearing a bikini!!!
I am a 45 year old mother of three boys. I am 5'8...
So the day is almost here. Getting so nervous, can't sleep and all I can think of is my TT. Worried how the family is going to function with me down for a while. My husband travels and I have 3 very active kids. Going to take pre pictures and hopefully have the nerve to put them up. :)
Hope I will have good results....
I can't believe I am posting these pictures..but this is my before. I hope I will have good results...
3 days!! So scared!!
Three days to go. I can't sleep, all I think about is the TT. What if I wake up huge? What if something goes wrong? What if I can't function and take care of my family? I just want it to be over!! Is it normal to be feeling this crazy?
Tomorrows the day! Pray for me!
Have to be at the surgery center at 7 am. Scared out of my mind. Will keep everyone posted!
Made it to the flat side!
Still at the surgery center. Going home in a few hours. Got out of bed 1 time and holy pain!!! When does that subside?? Will take pictures in a few days he said I will see a huge difference when swelling goes down. Yeah!
3 days post op
Well we just changed my dressings for the first time. I almost passed out! Lol. When I took the binder off my tummy was pink and warm. Is this normal? It wasn't red just pink and warm. My butt and thighs are so swollen and bruised. Can't wait for all of that to go down. See my Dr. On Tuesday. Happy healing everyone!
4 days post op
Still really sore and tired. I way under estimated the recovery of this. My hubby goes back to work tomorrow, kinda nervous to be on my own. Compression garment felt so tight last night so I loosened it. I hope that's ok. See The dr.tomorrow. Will take pictures soon. I have read that day 8 is the turning point. Can't wait for day 8!!
Feeling down...
Had my first Doctors appt. today. He was concerned with how swollen I am. Other than that he said all looks good. Just feeling lonely and blue. Am I ever going to feel normal again? Glad I did it but just want to feel more normal and not like a big lump. Sorry to be Debbie downer... Hopefully will feel better tomorrow? When does the pulling feeling go away?
Day 8
One drain out!! Yeah! Seem to have more energy today. Am going to try and take some pictures soon!!
Still swollen
So this is at the end of the day . So swollen but only 10 days since surgery. Feeling good!
Day 15
Woke up so flat this morning. I feel soooo good. i LOVE my new tummy. I can honestly say my ONLY regret is I waited so long. Truly life changing. I get flatter and flatter each day. Beyond happy!!!! I love me for the first time in a long time!!
Feeling good
Feeling great. Do have strange pain behind left knee on right side. Should I worry about that??? Also, when do you ladies start sleeping in your beds? My recliner is starting to kill my back!!!
Day 23..Holy Swelling...I'm going to pop!!
Holy swelling!! I feel at the end of the day you could pop me with a pin and I would deflate. Is this normal? I feel terrible and it's only 7:30 here. When does this go away. I have read about swell hell but this seems to be the first time I have really experienced it. I have had my in laws here visiting and have not been off my feet the last 3 days. Could that be it? this is terrible..I love my results but not the swelling!!
4 weeks po.
I can't believe it has been 4 weeks. I am getting around great and doing all the things I was doing prior to surgery. I was released to slowly start exercising with light weights and walking only. I can't do any elliptical because he does not want me twisting my tummy area yet. This has been the most amazing experience for me. I was up and running 8 days after surgery. The recovery really is not bad at all. The first 4 days are the worst and then it gets better and better. I was so afraid prior to surgery, but I am SO glad I did it. Truly life changing!!!
Picture at almost 5 weeks
Took this photo this am.
4 and a half week pictures
Here are a few more pictures. Still swelling... Really want that to go away!!
7 weeks tomorrow
7 weeks tomorrow..I feel more swollen now than I did before. Is that normal?? Other than that it is still the best thing I have ever done for myself. Girls who are worried....I was worried too..you will LOVE it!!! Do it!!
11 weeks post op new picture
So happy!
Doing great!
Doing great but still get swollen at end of the day especially after exercise. Can't believe it's been almost 5 months. Going to take off 15 lbs and see how it looks... Wish me luck!
5 months post Tummy Tuck
Feeling great! Since having the TT I feel like my butt is huge so really going to work on that. Eating well and working out. Life is good. Still so happy that I did it. I want to start Pilates, has anyone done that at 5 months? Still swelling mid day, I just wish that would end. Other than that all good!!

I can't believe it's been a year! Still the very best thing I ever did for myself. Here is a year post tummy tuck photo.
I just can't say enough good things about Dr. Constantine. He is awesome. Not pushy, informative , patient. Took so much time with me and answered every question I had. I am so happy with my results and highly recommend him!

As part of my new lifestyle change, I decided to incorporate exercise into my routine. For the first few weeks my main concern was the food. Once I felt comfortable with that, I began to walk five days a week for up to 70 minutes a day.
I recently reconnected with a friend and she recommended that I go with her to a Bikram Yoga class. For any of you out there who haven't heard me personally speak about this yoga, it's basically 90 minutes in a room that's set to 105 degrees with 50% humidity.
The transition from the treadmill to the hot yoga studio was definitely not easy, although I do think it was helpful that I had been working out for nearly two months prior to stepping into that first class.
To anyone who is curious, I'll say this: yes, it's hot. Yes, it's sweaty. However, the challenges you face in every class is a rewarding experience when you realize that you can do the poses. Maybe not perfectly the first few classes and certainly not the first few years.
It's the challenge to hold the pose and push myself beyond yesterday's limits that keeps me coming back for more. It helps that I end each class with a feeling of relaxation, as well. If you're looking for a great workout change, then consider Bikram!

WGN's Salem - Teaser Trailer
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.12.21
Next year, WGN America, the basic cable network that's mostly known for sitcom reruns and Chicago-based sporting events, will try their hand at scripted dramas. And here's your first peek as they have unveiled a teaser trailer for their first original series "Salem."
Created by veteran TV producer/writer Brannon Braga (24, Star Trek: The Next Generation) and screenwriter Adam Simon (The Haunting in Connecticut), "Salem" fictionalizes the infamous 17th-century Salem witch trials, when women (and men, as well) were indiscriminately accused of witchcraft by the powers that be.
Tamzin Merchant, Ashley Madekwe, Elise Eberle, Xander Berkeley, Shane West and Seth Gabel star as members of a colonial Massachusetts village who find themselves facing an outbreak of mass hysteria caused by an irrational fear of black magic and devil worship.
Set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts, SALEM explores what really fueled the town's infamous witch trials and dares to uncover the dark, supernatural truth hiding behind the veil of this infamous period in American history. In SALEM, witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem. The show, which centers on an epic romance wrapped around this explosive revelation, delivers a bold new vision of Salem -- and an even bolder new vision of witches.
Salem stars Tamzin Merchant, Ashley Madekwe, Elise Eberle, Xander Berkeley, Shane West, Seth Gabel
Release: 2014 (on WGN America)

*From the Clinical AIDS Program, Boston City Hospital, Boston, MA.
remarkable progress in our understanding of ventilator-associated
pneumonia (VAP) over the past decade, controversy persists over the
optimal method of diagnosis. Accurate diagnosis is critical for
identifying specific etiologic agents, for implementing appropriate
therapy, and for prevention strategies.
Currently, there is no well-accepted "gold standard" for diagnosis,
but, rather, there is a variety of diagnostic procedures with variable
sensitivity and specificity.2,3 Bronchoscopy with the use
of BAL or a protected-specimen brush has greater specificity than a
clinical diagnosis,2,3 which has been used more commonly
over the past decade. Nonbronchoscopic methods, such as blinded
BAL or quantitative endotracheal aspiration, with and without the
clinical pulmonary infection score, are more specific than clinical
diagnosis.2–4 Regardless of the diagnostic method used,
the American Thoracic Society Consensus Group suggested empirical
initial therapy, based on the severity of the patient's disease and
the stage of onset, using antibiotics to cover special pathogens in
patients with specific risk factors.5

This was an incredible story. Had me to the very end. On my way to read more by this author. I have a new fav!
Good book, love the style of writing and the story kept me reading and interested. Very good from beginning to end.
very much worht buying a bit slow in parts but still had you wondering and guessing a strange anding but one that makes you close the book sayingg,,,...HMMMMMM I'LL BE DARN GOOD RERAD IF YOU LIKE EXCITING CHASE AND WHO DONE IT AND WHY BOOKS
This book held my attention all the way to the end. I honestly did not guess "who dunnit", so I was surprised. Great suspense!
I've read nothing by this author that I haven't enjoyed; she grabs your attention and holds it through out the read!
Never read anything by Katia Lief before, but after reading this, I want to read more of her novels. If you like suspense, you'll like all of her books.
Must read, great book
I bought this for all the positive ratings, but I found the story too convoluted and hard to follow.
This suspenseful story takes place in a Brooklyn neighborhood (Carroll Gardens). Great thriller.
Another great read from Katia Lief. I really enjoyed this book and was quite surprised at the end!
I love books by Katia. I enjoyed this book. It had many twists and turns.
Lief's writing draws the reader in immediately and keeps you turning the page until the story wraps up. Definitely an author I'm going to keep reading!
I really liked this book and just when I thought I had it all figured out, it took on a ride in a whole different direction!
Another great one by Katia....did not like the ending but that's just me.......
Great story. Couldn't stop reading it and it was very scary. I love Katia Lief books so far and plan to keep reading every single one of her books.
I think I liked this better than her other novels and I have loved them all.
Loved the book. Terrible ending; it was pointless. If the author wasn't going to properly explain then she should've just left the last chapter out.
Great read from start to finish with a surprise ending!! Also love that it takes place in brooklyn ny :)
Even though this isnt thetype of book i normally read, it was definitly a great read. Love it from beginning to end. A.must read!!
Another fast paced read- i read it in one afternoon! Kind of sad twist at the end i thought.
I thought this was a very good book. It kept my interest, and was hard to put down. This is the third book I've read by Katia Lief, so far I have liked them all. I will be buying more.
Interesting concept with twists and turns to the plot.
Too many characters to follow. Was so bored,I skipped to the end just to see how everything turned out and even then still found it boring. Will delete immediately.
I have found a great new author.This book kept me on the edge of my seat!! Not too expensive either , can't afford alot of these books on here. Can't wait to read another book by this author :)
This was an ahhmazeing book.,,.couldnt put it down (=

In the area of speech science, one particular problem of importance has been to develop a clear method for detecting hypernasality in speech. For speech pathologists, hypernsality is a critical diagnostic used for judging the severity of velopharyngeal (nasal cavity/mouth separation) inadequacy in children with a cleft lip or cleft palate condition. For physicians and particularly neurologists, these same velopharyngeal inadequacies are believed to be linked to nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and particularly Parkinson's disease. One can therefore envision the need to not only find a reliable method for detecting hypernasality, but to also quantify the level (severity) of hypernasality as well. An integral component in the study of speech is the analysis of speech formants, i.e., vocal tract resonances. Traditional acoustical analysis methods of using a linear source model follow the premise that differences between normal and hypernasal speech can be distinguished by shifts or power changes in the formant frequencies and/or the widening (or narrowing) of the formant bandwidths. Such a premise, however, has not been validated with consistency. Part of the reason is that traditional acoustical analysis methods such as one-third octave band, LPC (Linear Predictive Coding), and cepstral analysis are ill-equipped to deal with the nonlinear, non-stationary, and wideband characteristics of normal and nasal speech signals. Relatively newer DSP methods that employ group delay or energy separation overcome some of these problems, but have their own issues such as possible mode mixing, noise, and the aforementioned wideband problem. However, initial investigations into energy separation methods show promise as long as these issues can be resolved. This thesis evaluates the success of a novel acoustical energy approach which deals with the mode mixing and wideband problems where: (1) a DSP sifting algorithm known as the EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) is first implemented to decompose the voice signal into a number of IMFs (Intrinsic Mode Functions). (2) Energy analysis is performed on each IMF via the Teager-Kaiser Energy Operator. The proposed EMD energy approach is applied to voice samples taken from the American CLP Craniofacial database and is shown to produce a clear delineation between normal and nasal samples and between different levels of hypernasality.

Europe's Immigration Dichotomy – Needed Not Wanted
Eastern Europe now has the largest population loss in modern history, while Germany overtook Japan by having the world's lowest birth rate whilst Italy takes the podium for lowest birth rate in the EU. A demographic disaster is en route that will jeopardise economic growth across the European continent whilst immigration, its only answer, causes significant changes to the political landscape.
The official statistician of the European Union "Eurostat" confirms the worries of many millions of European's when it comes to immigration and The Gatestone Institute pulls no punches in what it has to say about it.1
"Deaths that exceed births might sound like science fiction, but they are now Europe's reality. It just happened. During 2015, 5.1 million babies were born in the EU, while 5.2 million persons died, meaning that the EU for the first time in modern history recorded a negative natural change in its population. The numbers come from Eurostat, which since 1961 has been counting Europe's population."2
However, a new picture emerges from the official statistician when drilling down a little further. For instance, after extracting births and deaths, the population is in fact rising, but is only doing so because of immigration. That particular figure showed growth of nearly two million persons in just one year.
The Gatestone Institute goes on to say that – "Europe has lost the will to maintain or grow its own population. The situation is as demographically as seismic as during the Great Plague of the 14th Century. In one generation (about 20 years), Europe will be unrecognizable."
Strong words indeed, but as the statistics reveal, Eastern Europe now has "the largest population loss in modern history", while Germany overtook Japan by having the world's lowest birth rate. In 2015, Portugal recorded the second-lowest birth rate in the European Union alongside negative natural growth with Italy taking the podium for lowest birth rate in the EU. Overall, the birth rate in the EU has fallen 7 percent in just five years.

On Saturday night, Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil was arrested in Miami on a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm, per Dade County records. Dumervil's charge is a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. Dumervil posted $7,500 bail according to KCNC in Denver, and was released later Saturday evening.
Further details regarding the arrest are not available at this time.
The Broncos had been in touch with Dade County officials, and released this statement on Sunday:
"Our organization is aware of the matter and is continuing to gather facts. This is a very serious allegation, and we will thoroughly review the details while the legal process runs its course."
Harvey Steinberg, Dumervil's attorney, told ESPN's Adam Schefter that "No charges have been filed. No aggravated assault or assault took place. And it is likely that once the full investigation is complete, no charges will be filed against Mr. Dumervil."
Dumervil was charged with assault and disturbing the peace following an altercation with a parking attendant at Invesco Field (the Broncos' home stadium) in 2010, but all charges were eventually dropped.

text: Suitcase JailbreakMexican Inmate in Suitcase, Falcon Egg, and More of the Craziest Smuggling AttemptsAn unsuccessful attempt to smuggle a man out of prison in a suitcase and more epic failures.The Daily Beast07.07.11 1:00 AM ETSIPSE / AP PhotoThe Prisoner in the SuitcaseA prisoner in Mexico made headlines around the world when his wife tried to smuggle him to freedom by hiding him in her suitcase. Since 2007, Juan Ramirez Tijerina has been serving a 20-year sentence for illegal weapons possession. After a conjugal visit, his common-law wife, Maria del Mar Arjona, tried to leave the prison while dragging a suitcase that guards said looked unusually heavy. When guards inspected the bag, they found Ramirez inside, in the fetal position. Cesar Manuel Castilla, a spokesman for the town of Chetumal, said, "We have three inspection stations at the prison, and he was caught in the first one. In any case, she would have been asked to open the suitcase for inspection at the third and last inspection station. I don't know what they were thinking." AP PhotoFalcon-Egg SmugglerIn 2009, Jeffrey Lendrum was arrested for trying to smuggle 14 peregrine-falcon eggs into Dubai by taping them to his chest. The falcons are endangered, and the eggs would have been worth £70,000. He initially told officers they were chicken eggs, then later claimed they were to help his back pain, but it turned out the former soldier had climbed a cliff in Rhondaa, south Wales, to steal the valuable items for sale on the black market. An investigator later said, "Lendrum is the highest level of wildlife criminal." Department of Justice / AP PhotoSony DongSony Dong was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in 2009 for smuggling 14 songbirds from Vietnam. They were wrapped in cloth and strapped to his legs. The birds would have been worth $400 each. Joel Sartore / AP PhotoSnakes and ReptilesKeeping reptiles as pets is illegal in Norway, but this guy apparently never got the memo. In 2009, an unnamed Norwegian man was caught trying to smuggle 14 snakes and 10 lizards from Denmark to Norway. The snakes, harmless royal pythons, were rolled into socks and strapped to his torso. Ten geckos were in small boxes attached to his legs. There was also a tarantula hidden in his bag. One customs official said, "Customs officers quickly realized the man was smuggling animals, because his whole body was in constant motion." LandovDrugs and Coloring Books In March 2011, relatives of three inmates at a jail in Cape May, New Jersey, attempted to smuggle the drug Suboxone into the facility in the pages of a children's coloring book. The drug was dissolved into a paste and painted on the pages of the book. Individual pages were then sent to the inmates with messages like "To Daddy" written on them. The smugglers might have been successful had authorities not received a tip about the true content of the drawings. Cape May County Sheriff Gary Schaffer said, "I've been in law enforcement for 38 years, and I've never seen anything like this." Spanish Police, HO / AP PhotoCocaine Cast Who knew that cocaine can help heal? Spanish police arrested a 66-year-old Chilean caught wearing a cast made entirely of compressed cocaine bracing his broken shin. The man, attempting to smuggle the drug through a Barcelona airport, was carrying a total of 11 pounds hidden in various containers, including the 2.2-pound cast, six resealed beer cans, and the legs of two small folding stools. Police discovered the cast after spraying it with a chemical that turns blue when it comes in contact with cocaine. DEA / AP PhotoHeroin PuppiesFew things illustrate cruelty better than harm done to innocent puppies. Smugglers resort to extremes to get their drugs into the American market—doing things like stitching liquid heroin packets into the bellies of the cute creatures. Twenty-two Colombians were arrested after authorities received a tip about an odd farm complete with a "veterinary clinic" in a rural area. Three of the multimillion-dollar dogs died of infection following the bust.

Colombian drug smugglers have grown so high tech that they have begun to house their goods in submarines. The vessels hold nearly eight tons of drugs and are capable of reaching Mexico. The trip would take an estimated eight to nine days without surfacing, which sounds like quite the miserable journey, but luckily, there's air conditioning. Car-Seat SmugglingWhile everyone loves a spin in a Mercedes, two immigrants endured a not-so-luxurious one when human traffickers smuggled them across the Balkans into Europe. Two men were able to wedge themselves inside the front seats of the car, even squeezing their heads into the plastic head rests. Their plan failed when they were caught by border patrol. An estimated 50,000 illegal immigrants had passed through the Balkans at the time of this photo in 2007. Smuggled in a Glove Compartment Some people put luau girls on their dashboards; others put people inside them. Human traffickers will hide immigrants anywhere these days, regardless of their safety. The tactics grow ever more desperate as foreigners attempt to overcome stricter immigration laws to reach the havens of Germany and Britain. This photo and others taken in the Kosovo/Bosnia area were circulated around the U.N. in a package marked "No Visas Required."

returning to work after a 6-week leave has left me feeling a little listless, missing the freedom to roam around our new city and its surrounds. so today i took a break from it all and wandered over to hauck botanic gardens, more casually — and charmingly, now that it's no longer true — called "sooty acres." i have only been at my job for five months, but i can't believe it took me this long to find this fab little spot, which promises to be my new favorite lunching pad.
according to sarah knott, "the land is named after Cornelius J. Hauck, former Cincinnati Park Board president, who nurtured the fauna and lived on the acres. When he died in 1957, Hauck donated the park to the Cincinnati Park Board with a lifetime estate provision. His wife lived there until 1985, and now their house services as Cincinnati Horticultural Society headquarters." wandering around the gardens i tried not to ogle the house, but i couldn't help but imagine how much more perfect life would be if i went to work every day in a such a house in such a garden.
the park sits snugly in the northeast corner of the intersection at reading and taft, across the way from the vernon manor and adjacent to the civic garden center. it's not an especially attractive part of town, especially if you have to walk past the used-tire shop next to the amoco and across from the white castle. but it's worth it. within the wrought-iron gates the sounds of I-71 drift away, taking with them the smell of diesel and the ready-to-erupt road rage of commuters. the park itself is a sweet winding mass of stony paths, grassy patches, shade trees and sitting-spots. even in late fall it boasts summer blooms (phlox! phlox on october 30!) and butterflies. and while fall textures and colors have a pleasure all their own, i'll confess i'm looking forward to seeing the garden in springtime blush and full-blooming in 2008.

New Delhi, 17 Jul (UNI) Some of the toughest competitions during the next month's Beijing Games may be at home over the television remote control, according to a visa survey which shows a divergence between men's and women's interests in Olympic sports.
Of the 4,556 people from the Asia Pacific region who were asked which Olympic sporting events most interested them, swimming, football and gymnastics were the clear overall winners, but scratch the surface and differences between men and women became more apparent.
It appears the biggest battle will be over football, with a 19 percentage point difference between men's interest (53 per cent) and women's interest (34 per cent).
Men said they were also more interested in baseball and boxing than women, while women were more interested in watching gymnastics and swimming - particularly synchronized swimming.
Santanu Mukherjee, country manager, South Asia, Visa Asia Pacific said: ''While the findings show that men and women are interested in different events, it is heartening to see a strong interest in the Olympic Games overall and the spirit of faster, higher, stronger that runs through every Olympic event.'' It may be more than a battle of the sexes the family lounge room may also see generational disparity over which sports to watch.
According to the Visa survey findings, people over 45 are twice as interested in athletics and baseball as those aged 18-24, while younger people are far more likely to watch hockey, boxing and tennis.
Mukherjee continued by saying, ''What is interesting is that the passion for sport is the unifying factor amid the diversity of views and interests of the supporters. This passion is what helps create the colour and excitement at the Games, and is why the Olympic Games are such an important event in the global sporting calendar.'' UNI RAR ND1616

Srinagar, Sep 17 (UNI) Altogether 131 works in all eight languages spoken in Jammu and Kashmir have been selected for grant of subsidy for publishing them by State Academy of Art, Culture and Languages for the year 2008.
Giving details, Zaffar Iqbal Khan Manhas, Secretary Academy, said this year, more than 150 works for grant of subsidy were received in history, literature, visual, graphic arts, music, dance and drama.
However, only 131 have been selected on the recommendation of reviewers appointed by the academy for the purpose in eight languages spoken in the state.
He said that during the current financial year, the State Academy had sanctioned Rs 20 lakh as subsidy to writers. They were provided 50 per cent cast of book for publication.
Mr Zaffar noted that in absence of publishers and adequate number of buyers, the authors were finding it difficult to publish their work and recover the cost.
To help them out, a scheme was introduced 50 years ago to provide them subsidy for publishing their books, he added.
''It goes to the credit of the Academy that more than 95 per cent manuscripts of creative writings in different languages in state have seen the light of the day with the help of the subsidy provided by the Academy,'' he said.
Mr Zaffar said the languages in which the cases were approved for subsidy included in Kashmiri Dogri, Gojri, Pahari, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and English.
However, no manuscripts were received in Ladakhi, Balti, Purgi and Shina language for subsidy, Mr Zaffar said.

Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Inside
Food was good. I gues there was a outbreak of Norwalk virus the second day out. They kept it pretty quite but did tighten up the common areas like you couldn't touch the buffett spoons. This was good.
The things we saw were great. Didn't get very close to the glacier as there was ice. This happens in mid-May.
Pros: the wait staff was great in the Versalle room
Cons: at sea days
Recommends Norwegian Star? No.

Very nice but didn't have much time. We arrived at 8:00 and had to be on board by 1:00. Felt we were shorted out on that town.
We had read in the guide book to catch a bus to the glacier for $12.00 round trip instead of $43.00 that the cruise line charges for the same thing.
It pays to search the web for other's opinions.
Don't Miss: Museum and glacier.

Quite a cute town. Had the flavor of the original town. People were very nice.
Went on a free walking tour put on by the park service. Again looked on the internet for informaiton on the city.
Don't Miss: Steam train ride. Beautiful and a relaxing ride up into the snow.

This is such a little town really waste of time. Much rather gone to Victoria. I guess the town needs the money

Michael Grimes of Morgan Stanley says not to worry, they're coming back next year
As managing director and head of global technology investment banking at Morgan Stanley, Michael Grimes is one of the tech industry's most prominent bankers.
He sat down with Wall Street Journal Financial Editor Dennis Berman to discuss the dearth of tech initial public offerings and why he thinks that's about to change.
Here are edited excerpts:
Pent-up demand
MR. BERMAN: You're arguably the most important banker in Silicon Valley. So where are the IPOs?
MR. GRIMES: They're coming. There have been 14 so far this year in tech, which is down from an average of 35 to 40 -- and probably over 40 for multiple years since 2004. I'd say next year you're going to be back probably to triple the current volume, about 30 or 40. There's really robust, pent-up demand right now.
MR. BERMAN: Why haven't companies in 2016 been willing to sell their shares?
MR. GRIMES: I think there's a lag effect. If we look back to January-February, if we look back at the prior 12-month class of tech IPOs, 80% of them were trading below issue price. There was a paucity of demand, and that kind of slows the pipeline.
Probably around the April-May time frame, that changed. And it's taken a while to percolate through. Add in the fact that anybody who wanted to raise money privately in the 2013 to 2015 time frame could, so [many startups] have capital and some have said they can benefit by staying private.
But the market now is really healthy. Demand is probably as high as I've seen it. Supply will catch up.
MR. BERMAN: Is there a mismatch between what the price expectations are between the sale side and the buyers?
MR. GRIMES: There has been over the past 12 months, but the mismatch is shrinking.
MR. BERMAN: And where are they meeting? More on the buyer's side or more on the seller's side?
MR. GRIMES: They're starting to meet closer on the seller's side. It has been on the buyer's side, for sure. But it has been moving up and it will continue to move up because of the capital being returned to investors from all the M&A activity.
MR. BERMAN: You have some pretty shocking numbers about the amount of money that's come in, and the amount of money that needs to go out. Can you share?
MR. GRIMES: It's as wide of a disparity as we've seen in 20 years. There has been $125 billion returned through tech M&A, just the cash portion, into the hands of investors last year. Another $75 billion this year so far, so $200 billion or $205 billion cumulative over that year and a half.
If you add up new issuance of all IPOs in tech and all secondary offerings, it's about $25 billion to $26 billion. So an eight-to-one ratio, double or triple what it has been in a year in the last 15 years.
New buyers emerge
MR. BERMAN: So a big part of this whole equation is M&A. And something fascinating is happening there. Can you explain?
MR. GRIMES: It's really that the buyers for U.S. tech assets have changed quite a bit, maybe permanently, and this is really new news.
Five to 10 years ago, the tech giants or tech midcaps won most tech assets. What has happened quietly is that they've gone from winning 58% to 60% to half that as three new groups of buyers have [emerged].
Private-equity firms are buying public tech companies. They are outbidding strategic buyers, and that's new. It has upped their win rate.
Then there are foreign buyers. China has gone from $300 million to $40 billion in a $250 billion tech M&A market. That's a pretty big portion up from a very small portion, so they're winning, too.
And the most interesting [group is the nontech firms.] General Electric's Jeff Immelt said at the end of 2013 that if you went to sleep an industrial company, you woke up the next morning a software, data and analytics company. So they've always been kind of kicking the tires on tech assets when we have them for sale, but they hadn't been paying up. Look what has happened in the past year.
MR. BERMAN: They have no other choice, right?
MR. GRIMES: Now they have no choice. They see the imperative. So Verizon Communications wins Fleetmatics Group, and Wal-Mart wins web retailer Jet.com. And they paid up. So they're up 250% in terms of volume.

For Robert Pearl, M.D., accountable care-a delivery model in which providers are rewarded on outcomes, not volume-is an idea whose time has come.
"Health care is fragmented and it resembles a 19th century cottage industry more than an integrated delivery system," says Pearl, chairman of the Council of Accountable Physician Practices, an offshoot of the American Medical Group Association. Doubling as CEO of the Oakland, Calif.-based Permanente Medical Group, Pearl says the council's 30-plus large group practices-spanning such disparate locales as rural Montana and urban Massachusetts-face multiple common challenges in fulfilling the care coordination underpinnings of accountable care.

|The members of the Association of Black Forest Ham Manufacturers (Schutzverband der Schwarzwälder Schinkenhersteller) guarantee the quality of their hams by means of a strict quality management of the companies in the Association as well as through continuous checks and controls by the Regional Council in Karlsruhe. Schwarzwälder Schinken (Black Forest Ham) from member companies can be recognised by the seal of approval of the Association.
Black Forest ham is a raw, cured, boneless ham with a distinctive aroma created from gentle smoking over fir and spruce wood. An added characteristic feature is the very fine fatty rind. This is important for two reasons: on one hand, the fat is flavour-carrying and on the other, the thin rind protects the Black Forest ham from drying out too fast.
The EU has extended protection for the traditional Black Forest ham-making proces
Black Forest ham is made in the Black Forest region. Otherwise, it would not have this name. Nowhere may it be produced other than in the Black Forest. This is certified and protected by the European Union since 1997 as formally expressed by the PGI (in Germany, g.g.A.) label, which stands for protected geographical indication.
This means, that the EU protects the traditional production process: curing, spicing, burning, smoking and maturing. All of this is performed in the Black Forest.
The EU also sets rules about where the pigs are raised. These apply regardless of national borders and local availability of the proper kind of livestock farming and certified production facilities. Eighty percent of the pork hind legs are from Germany, mainly from the north, home to traditional pig farming. The Black Forest is a low mountain range, the most frequently visited of any in Germany; hence it lacks space for large-scale pig farming. That is obvious to anyone who has ever been there. The remaining 20 percent of the pork is sourced from neighbouring countries.

Russia yesterday claimed the West was undermining the work of international peace envoy Kofi Annan, warning Britain and her allies not to arm Syria's rebels as a deadline for implementing an international peace plan approaches.
Moscow's Foreign Minister claimed that even if Western nations decided to "arm the Syrian opposition to the teeth", rebel fighters would be powerless to vanquish the better armed and still largely loyal national army. "The carnage will go on for many years," warned Sergey Lavrov.
His comments came as yet more civilians were killed by shellfire and gun battles across the country, with President Bashar al-Assad refusing so far to abide by the terms of Mr Annan's peace initiative and withdraw his tanks and troops from besieged towns, despite promising to accede to the terms of a ceasefire proposed by the former UN Secretary General.
Heavy machine gun fire was heard across the old city of Homs yesterday, while according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a man, 50, and his younger brother were killed in the north west Idlib province when soldiers opened fire on their car from a tank.
Russia's criticism followed an announcement this week from "Friends of Syria" group of Western and Arab nations that they would be creating a fund for the Syrian opposition.
n A former goalkeeper for the Syrian national team has said that athletes from his country do not want to compete in this year's London Olympics because they "don't want to play for a flag they have no pride or faith in". In an interview with ITV News, Abdelbasset Saroot, 20, spoke out against the ongoing violence in Syria, and said that many competitors are taking part only because they fear repercussions if they refuse.Reuse content

At-home euthanasia is great...but will the veterinarian come to you?
When the time comes to say goodbye, where will it be? A large and growing number of you seem to prefer that it happen in your own homes. After all, that's where you and your pet shared the most time and feel most comfortable.
Maybe you'd prefer not to risk an intractable memory of her last breath within the confines of the four walls you inhabit, but you feel you owe it to her, anyway. What's one teensy sacrifice of potentially prolonged grief so that she can experience the least amount of stress in her last moments?
These and many other issues guide owners in their decision to pursue at-home euthanasia alternatives to the standard in-hospital variety. The cultural shift towards pets-as-family and the personal preference of most humans to die at home conspire to make house-call euthanasia services an increasingly sought-after approach to end-of-life care.
Yet just as our society is shifting in this direction, veterinary hospitals are increasingly loath to send their veterinarians out on house calls, even for their very best clients with whom a personal relationship is unquestionably at play.
As veterinary medicine comes into its own, the list of services we offer is large and growing. And I'm not talking about grooming, boarding and day care. Everything from rehabilitation therapy to weight loss programs and all manner of specialty care including non-invasive surgery, laser techniques, and telemedicine are rapidly consuming our time and energy.
They're all laudable directions, but sometimes I think the soul of veterinary medicine is cannibalized by this drive to bring bigger and better medicine to a pet near you.
That's because the certified technicians, specialized equipment and careful attention to protocol required by better medicine means hospitals are larger, more efficient and more professional. And sometimes that translates into "less personal," particularly when it comes to concessions like taking the time out of a busy schedule to come to your house to euthanize your pet.
Not that I condemn my profession for its advances––indeed, I'm proud of them––but when it means that scheduling conflicts, low profitability issues and insurance concerns trump the very sensitive, highly emotional, and undeniably unique aspects of euthanasia in veterinary medicine, I get to worrying about the direction we're headed in as a profession.
Sure, some practices will always retain a palpably personal feel. They're driven hard by their core values: ministering not only to your pet but to the almighty "human-animal bond." Knowing they can't necessarily send out their veterinarians and staff on house calls, they've taken a new approach: creating "death suites."
No, we don't really call them that. But I do. These are rooms tricked out with low lighting, soft furniture and tissues aplenty. They're designed so that even if your pet has to be euthanized in-house (because they can't come to you), you can have as close to a home-like experience as possible. This is a great approach, one I wish more hospitals would adopt in lieu of standard hospital euthanasia.
Similarly, the advent of euthanasia-only house-call veterinarians in some areas means that veterinarians with a soft touch and a kind way with words can serve as a stand-in for your regular veterinarian at this critical time. No, it's not ideal, but it does underscore that many in the veterinary profession feel as I do: Sometimes there's no substitute for the personal house call.
Yes, there's something about home that makes euthanasia more soothing. But I also understand it's not for everyone. Still, the choice to have your veterinarian come out to render final care is one I believe every pet owner should have access to.

Unique will certainly cover a lot of cals very adequately - plus modern Unique seems cleaner than the old stuff. It will do most std loads.
Only cal you mention where something else would help IMO is the .357's - assuming you want to approach the full potential. Unique won't easily do that for me safely.
For .357 I favor most Vitavhuori N-110 but that's spendy... otherwise 2400 is a good option as is W296. Main thing for near max is slower powder and full or near full case. Even Blue Dot can achieve quite good results but that's faster burning.
If tho you make some hotter 357's the leading issue can creep in .... and so then for me it's on to gas check bullets - but I cast so not a problem there. I haven't pushed Raniers hard so Tubby can probably add his thoughts on that.

It was a spectacular heart-pounding day on the water. There was so much at stake. First and foremost, the prestigious title of Bacardi Sailing Week Champion hung in the balance, but also, the scores needed to be decided in the 2011 Miami Winter Series ranking.
Ward captured the event title by the skin of her teeth. Second place finisher Michael Kiss on Bacio, with Chris Rast on tactics and his son Mitchell as crew, was involved in an altercation with Tate Russack on Diesel at the start of race one. Luckily, redress was given and Kiss was able to hang on as runner-up. Unfortunately, overnight leader Paul Reilly on Red Sky, with Andy Burdick as tactician and crew member Mike Kuschner, suffered a difficult day on the water. He was disqualified from the final race, dropping him back to finish third overall.
Congratulations to 2011 Miami Winter Series Champion Michael Kiss. More than 30 teams competed in the three part series ranking, with Kiss, successfully defending the title. Paul Reilly takes home a very deserving second place trophy. Tony Tabb on Elevation Racing was third, tied in points with Mary Anne Ward in fourth. International Audi Melges 20 Class Chairman Marc Hollerbach on FU rounded out the top five.
Full Rankings http://www.melges20.com/pdf/Ranking-Miami-Winter-Series-2011-0218.pdf
Special thanks to all Audi Melges 20 teams that have made this Winter Series season such a great success. Over the course of three regattas, more than 30 boats have competed making it the highest attended season yet.
Hopefully, everyone has had an opportunity to view the 150+ photos captured over the last couple of days. In particular, the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association (IM20CA) would like to recognize Audi Melges 20 owner David Pollack on CAN-142 and the Melges 24 Hedgehog tender for making images and Facebook posts possible. Thank you for your invaluable support.
As always, the class is grateful and appreciative of the collaborative efforts of PRO Bruce Golison and team, as well as Coconut Grove Sailing Club, most especially to Ron Rostorfer. The class is equally thankful for the support of Studio Milano and Bacardi Miami Sailing Week, especially Gabriele and Franco Pedone, and Marc Pincus.
And last, most certainly not least, special thanks to the Melges Team — Andy Burdick, Harry Melges, Jim Gluek, Federico Michetti, Justin Hood and Mike Wolfs were all in Miami servicing teams non-stop. Their passion for the sport of sailing is real and their support of the Audi Melges 20 and Melges 24 fleets is recognized globally.
Put up the main, unfurl the jib and hoist the spinnaker, the 2011 Audi Melges 20 racing season is just getting started. In two weeks time, the Audi Sailing Series gets started in Europe, and Charleston Race Week kicks off on April 14-17.

In my eyes, international hockey trumps league hockey any day. In IIHF you can't buy or trade your players. You are who you are, you play for your country, and not a Ranger one day, a Devil next day, and an Islander next.
And I don't think that talk of WHC not being best-on-best is right. When the WHC playoffs started, there were 4 teams left in the SC playoffs, with only a handful of athletes with a shot at the national team. For Canada who claims they can ice 4-5 squads of equal strength, this is certainly no excuse.
The best 4 club teams in the world are still playing hockey, and thus by definition the WHC cannot be
. Certain nations are always going to be missing key players. Imagine if the World Cup of Soccer was being played without players from the Champions League semi-finals (Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona) and all the players on the four quarter finals teams were coming off of hard fought matches. Do you think that Spain would still have won or Argentina would not be severely crippled by the loss of Messi?
The IIHF has no one to blame but themselves for this loss of prestige as they continue to follow a Eurocentric agenda for the WHC.

The flare erupted from a particularly large active region dubbed as AR 12192.
The sunspot soon grew to be the largest active region observed in the current solar cycle - a periodic change in the Sun's activity and appearance - which began in 2008.
This is the fourth substantial X-class flare from this active region since Oct 19.
"The sunspot region is about 80,000 miles across, which is wide enough for 10 Earths to be laid across its diameter," NASA said in a statement.
X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength.
Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground.
These can also disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.
