In Storm and in Calm(1975)
A novel by Lucilla Andrews
Before taking up her eagerly anticipated promotion to Sister Victoria Ward, St Martha's Hospital, London, Staff Nurse Charlotte Anthony spends four weeks in a little hospital on the isolated, far-northern Isle of Thessa. Charlotte quickly learns that instead of the quiet cottage hospital she expected, Thessa General, though tiny, is ultra-modern and staffed and equipped to deal with the variety of medical and surgical emergencies that come in from Thessa, her sister islands, the world's fishing fleets and the oil rigs. The patients come in by trawler, tanker, merchantman, lifeboat, helicopter, ambulance ; at all hours, in all seasons, in storm and in calm. Charlotte encounters new professional problems, new friends - seismologist Rod Hardin

Free Financial Literacy Events hosted by Harrisburg University of Science and Technology
The economic ramifications of U.S. and global financial policies on everyone from college students to investors will be explored during the free DiSanto Chair Distinguished Speaker Series in Financial Literacy, hosted by Harrisburg University.
The series is developed by Dr. Jay Liebowitz, the Alex DiSanto Visiting Chair in Applied Business and Finance at HU.
Scheduled for select Thursdays at noon, the talks bring top minds in finance to Central Pennsylvania, sharing their insights on the financial capabilities of college students, investments in the global economy, and oversight of capital markets.
Sept. 18 - "Money Matters on Campus: Financial Capability and First-Year College Students," Mary K. Johnson, Director, Financial Literacy and Student Aid Policy, Higher One, Inc., New Haven, CT: Although financial literacy and its impact on financial behavior have received increased public attention in recent years, there is a scarcity of research on how this critical life skill is trending among young adults, particularly those entering college. Johnson's presentation will highlight the latest findings of Money Matters on Campus, a national survey of the financial knowledge and behaviors of 65,000 first-year college students, conducted by EverFi and sponsored by Higher One. The presentation will also include a discussion of the relationship between financial capability and college success, as well as implications for institutions, policy makers and researchers. Johnson has more than 25 years of experience in higher education finance, research and financial aid, including service as Associate Commissioner of Finance and Administration for the Connecticut Department of Higher Education. With Higher One, she developed a national grant program, Financial Literacy Counts, which supports financial literacy initiatives on colleges and universities across the country.
Oct. 16 - "Investing in the Global Economy in 2014," John Jacobs, Executive Vice President, Global Information Services, NASDAQ OMX: Jacobs will focus on three main questions: What are the fundamentals of investing in the current global economy? How to navigate the challenges? What does active and passive investing mean today and where is it going? At NASDAQ OMX, Jacobs oversees all aspects of information product business development, including the creation and licensing of strategy indexes in the U.S. and abroad. Under his direction, NASDAQ launched the NASDAQ-100 Index Tracking StockSM (QQQQ), one of the most successful financial products in stock market history.
Nov. 6 - "Capital Market Oversight by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority," Joseph E. Price, Senior Vice President, Corporate Financing/Advertising Regulation, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA): Price will address industry practices by investment banks and other broker/dealers that raise capital for businesses in primary markets, where new stock and bond issues are sold to investors, and secondary markets, which trade existing securities. The talk will also explore the regulatory role of FINRA, an independent, not-for-profit organization authorized by Congress to protect America's investors by making sure the securities industry operates fairly and honestly. Before joining FINRA, Price served with the Securities and Exchange Commission in several capacities, including Assistant General Counsel, Special Counsel in the Office of General Counsel, and Deputy Chief of the Office of Disclosure and Investment Adviser Regulation in the Division of Investment Management.
All talks will be held from noon to 1 p.m. in the 14th Floor Auditorium, Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, 326 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101. Attendees are asked to RSVP via the website at HarrisburgU.edu/

The Leafs would be better to ask for a prospect such as Sauve brcause he is not yet NHL ready or for a forward. Mason Raymond gets a hard time here on HF but in reality he really is a good player and would fit well on the Leafs. Mason actually would be slight overpayment for Franson, but 2/3 line wingers are an area that the Canucks have an excess so can afford to overpay.
Raymond for Franson+....I could get behind that. A Kulemin-Lombardi/Connolly-Raymond line would be an amazing 3rd line for them, with 2 20 goal scoring wingers, and one of two centers who could use a boost playing with higher calibre wingers.
We shed a little salary, get back a bottom pairing (for now) RHD, and remove just a little redundancy from our roster, with Booth, Higgins and Hansen all being very strong skaters in the role Raymonds in.

Finish that with a Bieksa/Garrison pairing (both are signed for a few years still) and that's a solid core. I would have loved to see Corrado in preseason this year though, everything he's doing in the O shows me that he's nearly ready.

|Cabin / Stateroom
|The stateroom attendant was really trying to do a good job, but did notice the balcany was never cleaned untill the last day (windows) and the floor of the balcony was never vacuumed once it was not clean. Other than that she did a good job.
|We went to the shows every night to see what was happening and found only 1 show that was good. The band from D.C. put on by NPN was outstanding!

THE FACTS: Wednesday's game in Atlanta had playoff implications, and Al Horford played like it. The Hawks' center had 26 points and 15 rebounds as Atlanta beat the visiting Bucks 98-90.
The Bucks shot 25-for-77 (32.5 percent) over the first three quarters, and were just 15-for-45 in the paint in that time for 30 points. They were getting good looks, but converting at an alarmingly poor rate. Even with that, the Hawks were just peppy enough to thwart a rally led by Brandon Jennings. Hawks point guard Jeff Teague scored 27 points and added 11 assists, but Jennings scored eight of his 21 points in the final period, when the Bucks nearly caught up with a 31-point fourth quarter.
Josh Smith added 12 points and a season-high 16 rebounds to join Horford and Teague in double-double territory as Atlanta (38-30) is alone in fifth place in the East, two games behind No. 4 Brooklyn. The Bucks (34-33) who are well ahead of the 76ers (26-40) for the No. 8 playoff spot in the East, lost ground to Chicago (36-30) and Boston (36-31).
QUOTABLE: "Milwaukee played last night and that's something we tried to harp on -- we just had to continue to run and get up the floor, stay aggressive. . . . I told the guys it won't be easy from here on in."
-- Hawks coach Larry Drew
THE STAT: .84 to .97. Here's a deep metric: The Bucks outscored the Hawks 46-36 in the paint, but Milwaukee was much less efficient with its close-range shots while taking several more. The Bucks were 23-for-55 (.84 point per shot) in the paint, where the Hawks were 18-for-37 (.97).
The Bucks had far more chances than the Hawks while taking 20 more shots (37-for-99), but the visitors made one less shot than the Hawks (38-for-79).
TURNING POINT: The Hawks led 48-43 at halftime, and pulled away late in the third quarter to build a lead that was too much for the Bucks. In Atlanta's 11-1 run to finish the period, Milwaukee missed its last eight shots -- two from point-blank -- and the Bucks had half of their modest 10 turnovers in the last 4:42 of the quarter. Atlanta led 77-59.
HOT: Bucks forward Larry Sanders had seven points and 10 of his 14 rebounds in the first quarter. Sanders has had 10 or more rebounds in six straight games, the longest streak of his career. He also scored 19 points and blocked four shots. . . . Smith grabbed nine of his 16 rebounds in the same period, which ended with the score 18-18. . . . . Korver shot 3-for-8 on 3-pointers and has made at least two in five straight games. He's 13-for-26 from distance in that span. He's made at least one trey in 61 consecutive games.
NOT: With four turnovers Wednesday, Jennings has 10 in his past two games.
QUOTABLE II: "We couldn't quite get over the hump. It was too late to put the pressure on. The game was kind of over."
-- Sanders
ROOKIE REPORT: Atlanta guard John Jenkins made both of his shots, and over the past five games has shot 15-for-23 (65.2 percent).
IN THE ARENA: Milwaukee native Colin Kaepernick returned to the city of his greatest professional conquest. The 49ers' quarterback was in the house to cheer his hometown team not more than half a mile from where he led San Francisco to a come-from-behind win over the Falcons in the NFC Championship Game about seven weeks earlier.
NOTABLE: Milwaukee forward Ersan Ilyasova missed his second straight game with left him pain, and did not travel to Atlanta.
UP NEXT: For the Bucks, Friday @ Indiana, Sunday vs. Atlanta, Wednesday @ Philadelphia. For the Hawks, Friday vs. Portland, Sunday @ Milwaukee, Monday @ Indiana.

Federal agents hunt for guns one house at a time | Chronicle | Chron.com - Houston ChronicleThe mission is especially challenging because, officials say, that while Houston is the number one point of origin for weapons traced back to the United States from Mexico, the government can't compile databases on gun owners under federal law.
Agents instead review firearms dealers' records in person

I'm not sure how to react to this, on one hand I have issue with them reviewing dealer's records, on the other I see the need to curb the sale and transport of illegally acquired firearms to any and all criminals.
Title is misleading, they're not doing a house to house search, but following up on leads generated from work they already had to do - reviewing dealer records. Yeah, I agree there are better ways to utilize their time, but they are going after alleged/potential felons. Those felons are part of the problem anti's complain about - straw purchases. As long as they actually follow up and put the criminals behind bars.
there should not be any fence sitting on this. they are not looking for a person that comited a crime. they are looking for alleged/potential felons. there is a differance. only honest people can buy guns from dealers now. Why look at those records?
I say that IF you see a pattern in the 85% of weapons THAT ARE TRACABLE then they should fallow that lead. that may lead then to a dealer and a straw purchase crime. leave the fishing expaditions to the lakes.
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution, which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -1792, James Madison
There are always too many Democratic, Republican and never enough U.S. congressmen.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
This is, IMO, in the same vein as the earlier report from Department of Homeland Security branding certain conservatives/military vets, etc. as potential terrorists. It was rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of the importance of personal liberty above virtually all else. It stems from a worldview that believes in trouncing personal liberty to ensure what is good (in the opinion of those in power) for the citizenry.
I have zero problem with federal agents enforcing the law. However, I do have a problem with federal agents digging into the books of gun dealers to find people that they think might be suscipicious. I don't have a problem with that because it is bad detective work; it is prudent to connect the dots. However, our federal government has shown time and time again that it cannot be trusted to act responsibly with increased access and power. It uses that increased access and power to the point of abuse and that is what deeply concerns me about this.
I am in North Texas, just 3+ hours from Houston. If I want to buy a firearm, maybe two in one week, should I have to answer questions from federal agents? Of course not. I'm glad to cooperate but frankly, the Mexican government is attempting to put the cat back in the bag and shift blame to American citizens for their own failures. The least of their problems are the firearms that come from our states. Guns are ubiquitous. If not from us, the cartels will get them from other places.
Secure the border. That's the real issue.
Sounds like they have a dirty Cop on their hands, reading the end of the article....
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
We do seem to be moving toward an all powerful federal government for the people by the powerful politicians to whom the people have ceeded autonomy.
When you accept mediocrity you sow the seeds for future failure.
One should never confuse good fortune with good training.
Illegitimus Non Carborundum. In God we trust.
'Fighting crime' sitting on your butt in an air conditioned place of business is a whole lot nicer than actually doing something in the heat and dust along the border.
"If we loose Freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the Last Place on Earth!" Ronald Reagan
As has been said by other. If we sent those ATF agents to the border instead of searching houses you will be able to catch a whole lot more people and smuggled weapons. Or if they instead spent some time investigating officials with questionable records on enforcing illegal immigration and smuggling laws. In the scheme of things they are not catching anything significant. Wow they caught a cop who possibly sold a whole 4 guns and some lady who sold 3 handguns. Compared to the thousands the cartels have this is virtually nothing. The other issue I have is that a majority of the firearms the cartels have are supposedly from the US, but they are all automatic weapons. Do you really think people are getting class 3 licenses, buying pre-ban automatic weapons and selling them at black market prices to cartels? I would venture to guess the weapons that are from the united states were sold by our government to the Mexican government and some how they ended up in the hands of the cartels. I know this seems far fetched considering the stellar reputation of Mexican Officials.
This is the first step--a foot in the door if you will. If they get away with this "small" intrusion then the second foot will be inserted. By taking only small bites at a time they expect that the masses will not realize how their rights are being usurped. There are better ways of controlling what flows across the border, but that has not been the real objective from the beginning. So, don't underestimate Mr. Obama. He has demonstrated throughout his entire political career just how he feels about the 2nd Amendment.
"Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual change; but this change is not [an improvement]. For everything that is given, something is taken."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yeah I saw this article and figured no big surprise here. We knew this was going to happen and they will most certainly expand the practice based on them being successful, or not being successful. This is one of those invasion of our liberties where there is no right reason to do it so they will make up, and the mainstream media will portray, that this as the only way to stop a problem that really isn't ours in the first place. Just be glad guys that most of you don't live in Houston. We have been laughing at media showing AR's wth grenade launchers on TV every night saying that you can get these at Carters Country in Houston. My wife and I aren't laughing quite so loudly now figuring that my AR-10 and 3,000 rounds will be right up their alley some day. We've already had that husband/wife discussion of what we will do when that day comes and surprisingly, she is more radical than I am. Good for her.
SE Texas Patriot Guard Rider, NRA Patron, TSRA Life Member
So what are we saying here? We don't want the federal government to enforce existing laws? Straw purchases are against both state and federal law. Whenever someone talks about a new law we yell and scream that they should enforce the laws that are already on the books. Now they are doing that and now we say we want them to go violate peoples 4th ammendment rights at the border instead?

This brings a question to mind. I never downloaded and compiled a kernel under RedHat, as I'd heard that RedHat kernels had been massively patched and that the packages that came with RH were tuned or something to work with the patched kernel. Is Fedora Core going to do the same thing with the kernel (massively patch, add in functionality, etc) or is it going to go with the stock kernels from kernel.org? Thanks! Ben

Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My father died in November and left a will. The will was made in 2001 but he remarried in 2005. In his will he left all his assets to myself and my sisters. How much does my step mom get? His pension and life insurance was made to his estate. Also, if my dad financed a truck in his name while he was married and it wasn't paid off at the time of his death, does my step mom get it? Lastly, my dad's pension, is it only what was increased between the time he was married and the time of his death that my step mom is entitleed to? Im in Ontario Canada so any information would be great
You have a very complicated situation, and you really should see an attorney to address this in more detail. From what it sounds like in your summary, your step-mother would be considered a "pre-termitted spouse". Michigan law changed the way that it dealt with such heirs, about 10 years ago. If there is not evidence that your father *intended* to exclude his wife, she would be entitled to "elect against the Will." She would be entitled to about half of her intestate share of the estate, (the amount that she would have received, if your father did not have a Will).
This would be approximately $65k, plus 1/4 of the rest of the estate. She would also be entitled to exemptions and allowances worth up to an additional $60k. The former amount would be reduced by 1/2 of the value of any assets received by the spouse as a result of the death, by other means, such as joint property, beneficiary designations, and the like, if any.
The answer is also subject to change, based on the title to the assets. If the assets were titled jointly with the spouse or she was designated as the beneficiary, then there would be no estate, and it would not matter WHAT the Will says.
Best of luck to you!

Target Discovered That Could Ease Spinal Muscular Atrophy Symptoms
"This therapy does not directly target the disease-causing gene; instead it targets the pathways that affect muscle maintenance and growth," said Chris Lorson, investigator in the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center and associate professor of veterinary pathobiology in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine. "We administered a particular protein, follistatin, to SMA mouse models to determine if enhanced muscle mass impacts the symptoms of SMA. After treatment, the mice had increased muscle mass, gross motor function improvement and an increase in average life span of 30 percent."
With the therapy, MU researchers inhibited myostatin, a protein that limits muscle tissue growth. Myostatin activity can be reduced significantly by enabling several proteins that bind to myostatin, including follistatin. When myostatin is inhibited, muscle mass and strength increase.
SMA is caused by the loss of survival motor neuron-1(SMN1). Humans have a nearly identical copy gene called SMN2. Because of a single molecular difference, SMN2 alone cannot compensate for the loss of SMN1.
"While most work in the SMA field has logically focused on targeting the SMN2 gene, the results of this study suggest that skeletal muscle is a viable therapeutic target that may reduce the severity of some SMA symptoms," said Lorson, who also is the scientific director for FightSMA, a private spinal muscular atrophy research foundation in Richmond, Va. "Because follistatin does not alter the expression level of SMN protein, the most effective treatment would combine strategies that directly address the genetic defect in SMA as well as SMN-independent strategies that enhance skeletal muscle."
The study, "Delivery of recombinant follistatin lessens disease severity in a mouse model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy," was published online in the December issue of Human Molecular Genetics. The research team also consisted of graduate students Frankie Rose and Virginia Mattis, and Hans Rindt, an assistant research professor. Recently, Lorson was awarded a $370,000 grant from the Muscular Dystrophy Association to continue his research on the role of muscle in SMA.

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

"My defensive line coach, Sean Cherico, was telling me a lot of good things about West Virginia," Ford said after committing to WVU. "I got interested in them and I decided to make it official. West Virginia came on late in the process. There were a lot of schools that talked to me, and I got a lot of letters from different school, but West Virginia was the one that I decided to go with."
WVU's off week, which it used to make visits to a number of schools, figured heavily in the timing of the decision.
"Coach Tony Gibson and the defensive line coach came out here a couple of days ago," Ford said. "I can't even pronounce his name, but I can spell it." Ford proceeded to spell out Bill Kirelawich's name, proving that he certainly was paying attention during the visit by the WVU staffers. "I am going to take a visit there on Dec. 1. I might take another visit, but I am set to West Virginia."
Ford, who played at Georgetown High School in South Carolina before being recruited by Coffeyville at the South Carolina North-South game, views pass rushing as his strength. That is an area that the Mountaineers wish to continue to bolster, despite the excellent improvement shown in sacks and pressure this year.
On the season, Ford has 23 tackles, including 6.5 behind the line for 44 yards in losses. He also has one forced fumble from his defensive end position. He redshirted last year at Coffeyville, and is on track to graduate in December. If all goes according to plan, he would then enroll in January at West Virginia with three years of eligibility remaining. He plans to major in sports management.

HxH has a lot of fans and regardless of the author's intentional or unavoidable breaks. Anyway, the next volume also seems to be ready, considering that we are guaranteed to get around 10 chapters non-stop.
Onto the chapter, I have really high expectations for the fights to finish this arc. At least two of the fights are guaranteed to satisfy our expectations. First, Gon and Killua's fight. We haven't fully seen Gon's and Killua's development yet. Against Nefelpitou, we will see that. Secondly, Netero and unknown powerful guy against the King. I don't know but, maybe Killua's grandpa and Netero would form a great elderly duo. There is also Morau. I doubt he will fight only against one guard. That cheetah might also join the fight against him as a payback. But, that means, he will mostly be gone at the end of his fight.

(Bit late but...) Woohoo!
It's been so long I've forgotten most of the important stuff but can't wait to see who is with Netero.
edit: oh yeah just seen the spoiler pic from 263, I guess it's clear who is with Netero.

That match up was the most rational one. The possibility that the ones who fight the King are going to die is very high. And, it would be better for those two legends fight him than Gon's father and Netero fighting. We haven't seen the limit of Killua's grandfather, and how those two, possibly old friends, work together. They will steal the spotlight from the young ones...
Also, I wonder how much he gets paid for that job. I guess, he will comment on that at some point.
Another thing is whether he is aware of the fact that his grandson, the one who is expected to continue the family work at some point, will also join the fight. And, if that is the case, will the family send someone as backup to monitor the situation, and act if necessary...

There is a lot of random stuff though. (like the Genei Ryodan appearing out of the blue and kicking the shit out of some filler villain) or that one guy whose father was an alcoholic and who seemed important for like 2 pages.

The doodle made it look rougher and more badass.
Spoiler for Jump:
Spoiler for Tankou:
But for most parts, it really feels like Togashi's beyond weekly releases now if he wants to chuck out HxH in its best. Thankfully, (( or not )) Togashi's got so much leverage he can do stuff like this (( doodles, breaks, etc )) and still keep HxH in Weekly Jump.

Beautiful ship and loved the ports but the food was a huge disappointment :(
Sail Date: August 17, 2016
Reviewed: 9 months ago
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Room Type: Oceanview
Our Family of 5 booked this cruise two months before the departure date, and our room was one of three left on deck one, at the time being a Platinum member I just new we would get upgraded, to a nicer location than what we had, At the time of booking we were told by the carnival rep to call back frequently to see if there were any other rooms available for (5) people, as there were none at the time of booking, we called twice a week until the day of departure, nothing was available and we were told at that time to board and ask the customer service desk, what they can do for us. we did, and was also told at the desk "awww" that Carnival had employee service people working on board and all of the rooms were being used by their employees, so we would have to stay in our reserved room. That wasn't what I had in mind, being a platinum member, but ok we worked with it. Being past carnival cruisers we just new we could overlook the room and still have a wonderful time.
The ship is indeed beautiful but so many of the wonderful things about carnival was taken away and or up charged, for no apparent reason. Charging $2.00 for a cup of tea after dinner is ridicules, having no dish in our bathroom of dental freebee's ie tooth paste, or mouth-wash, was disappointing, as well as scaling way down on the variety of food in the dining room, passing off a gourmet dinner in the dining room with fried chicken, that was way way over cooked, and it almost felt like a frozen from a box piece of weaver chicken, is un-acceptable, filet mignon that you couldn't even tell was a meat product, it looked like a piece of already chewed overcooked slab of fat and grizzle, served on my plate for dinner un-acceptable, offering tofu as a main course dinner option and overcooking just about everything that came on a plate and served for me and my family's dinner, is completely, un-acceptable, the service at our table was awful, and we were at most times leaving close to last out of the dining-room because of the poor service, it was terribly slow, our waiter was very un-attentive at times and seemed to care more about the larger tables that our 5 person table, Shame on you Carnival. what happened to having three different people taking care of your dining table at dinner? we felt that we were almost forced to pay the up charge for hopefully a better meal, we kept the faith, hoping and praying that tomorrow's dinner would be better than the night before, but that never happened for us, night after night a disappointing meal, i was almost embarrassed because i was the one that wanted to cruise again with carnival, my husband didn't.
So between the nickel and dimming everywhere around us and the disappointing meals on this cruise it has completely pushed my husband and i over the edge and after so many years of cruising with Carnival we will now look at other cruise lines for our future vacations.
Wise up Carnival and stop being so cheap with your guests that work all year for their one week vacation, and spoil your guests, like you use to.

|Cabin / Stateroom
|i was very disappointed with the room, your five person room was simply a four person room with a mattress on the floor for my 22 year old daughter, We complained about it, she had a terrible time sleeping on that, we did receive a new mattress for her to sleep on but that in no way is a five person room my son constantly stepped on her because if that set up, she was not a happy camper, and neither was I hearing her complain over and over.
|Embarkation and Disembarkation
|we do love breezing though the crowd being platinum members, this is one perk I truly love
|Ship Quality
|the ship seemed to be sort of clean, but there were way too many food plates and bar cups on or around the pool and lounge chairs, what happened to the staff? cleaning up after people, even in the lido area tables full of plates and no one sitting and eating because of it, we asked a few different times during the week for a staff member to come and clean up our table, because no one was present to clean up after the table's use.
|Destinations and Excursions
|our destinations were very nice, but I feel the excursion we took in st. thomas just to travel to the beach was way over priced for what we got.
|Onboard Activities
|we loved the cruise director I forget her name but she was the best we ever had.
|Children's Programs
|we didn't use the kids program
|the clubs were nice, drinks were on point at the bar's, the comedy shows were great, we had alot of fun at the deck party's, love the big screen by the pool, with the music very nice and relaxing.
|Service and Staff
|Food and Dining
|The food served on the lido deck was good, but in the dining room was horrible, as well as the service.

My tip to any future carnival cruiser would be, Carnival has gotten very cheap, do yourself a favor make reservations at the specialty restaurant's and pay the up-charge fees to get a decent meal for dinner, I'm sorry we didn't and were horribly disappointed, with the meals and staff attentiveness.

A lot of this still comes back to expectations. The Carnival ships are the entry level for the carnival Corporation. All of us know they have many other Cruise Lines that a person can move up to. Yet we all seem to want to chastise them for trying to keep the carnival ships affordable and generally more casual than the other lines.
You don't even have to guess how the vote would come out on Guys Burgers vs tablecloths

Hey you! Do ask me things. How I am doing. What I am doing… anything. It's high time you start acknowledging the fact that I'm right here, for good, plugged to you, becoming mad multiples of you. Oh, do stop shrieking and clutching yourself! Isn't it becoming a cliché? Here, let me tread by invisibly; let me wave my long dark hair. My lidless eyes and abnormally fitted limbs are just props you have built up. They should have restricted your TV time.
Pity you were not easily moved in the beginning. But now I see you have noticed the air radiating a grey dread and a strong fever-smell. No, don't go to those counsellors again! Stupid charlatans all of them! Really. Your dreams mingle with my wakefulness as I prowl around inside your head feeling the bumps on the wall, the phantom doors, whorls and vortexes – some quite big and static shaped like vague Jurassic animals - their low-frequency hums too soft for your mortal eardrums. When I flit between them, you hear the rush and rumbles in your ribs. Others are so tiny and constantly moving that they get caught in your hair, their tiny shifts sounding like a child's whispers to you. There, you are pausing again, your hair standing on end, sweat breaking. How adorable you look when chills run down your spine!
Do you know that you DO sleep even though you believe otherwise? The elusive sleep which, when it comes, comes in annoying jerks. The sticky sleep, freezing legs, sweating neck, nausea, a kind of horrible oppression, so sickly sweet – I feed off your sleep, they taste of stale almonds, detergent and melting toffee. And then, and then, there is the dawn… the dawn that falls like a brilliant blob of lucidity, a tear drop, a splash from an old perfume bottle, a melted piece of ice. It's so edible, so limpid that if you touch the air, it trembles, like a butterfly's wings. Do you notice them? I wish I could tell you all about it. I wish I could scoop up a piece of dawn in my cupped hands and show it to you. But that would defeat the purpose. No, I don't disappear at day break; I stick around all the time, until the right time. I see you trying to meditating, taking deep breaths – for a moment you heave a sigh of relief until you catch a glimpse of my jawless, winged figure just beyond the corner of your eye. There is only one ending to this story, you know that.
It rained yesterday while I was waiting for you, and then all night while I was grappling with a nightmare that was wringing your throat. Have you tried choking yourself? The pain on your throat is unbearable, but there is a bizarre, peaceful silence in your ears, a kind of numbness of the cheeks and if you look at the blank white wall, you can see a swirl of softly pulsating rainbows, your finger tips turn cold. Darling, shall I strangle you? Would you strangle yourself?
You are late, and you slide in through the window. I am always reminded of a thundercloud, an impending storm looming in the air when you enter. You don't notice my transparent feet swinging from the fan's cobwebby blades, nor the eyes at the end of my feelers dangling down, crawling all over you. My quagmire-voice drips with trepidation as I hover close to your ear. I can see you twitching your neck uneasily and I know you'll dream of unattainable ice-creams or of drowning in dark lake full of tangled weeds tonight. I move closer to you all the while laughing my carefully designed laugh - the half-wit laugh, the mirthless laugh, a jawless, rasping laugh - the laugh your neighbour's son heard before he jumped off the 8th floor, the one Virginia Woolf heard while she filled her pockets with stones, the one that Sylvia was hounded with all her life, and Judas heard just before kissing an affable bearded cheek. It is the right time, darling, all of us are waiting for you right here. Be careful, mistakes are pretty painful and second chances are tough.

The WH Jobs Summit: "A little less conversation? A little more action? ( please)"
My response:
Today's Politico Arena asks:
The WH Jobs Summit: "A little less conversation? A little more action? ( please)"
My response:
This past week witnessed continued debate in congressional committees over changes to our financial regulatory system. Perhaps catching the most attention was Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's appearance before House Financial Services.
Sadly missing from all the noise this week was any discussion over reforming those entities at the center of the housing bubble and mortgage meltdown: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
While many, including Bernanke, have identified the "global savings glut" as a prime force behind the historically low interest rates that drove the housing bubble, often missed in this analysis is the critical role played by Fannie and Freddie as channels of that savings glut. After all, the Chinese Central Bank was not plowing its reserves into Countrywide stock; it was putting hundreds of billions of its dollar reserves into Fannie and Freddie debt. Fannie and Freddie were the vehicle that carried excess world savings into the United States.
Had this massive flow of global capital been invested in productive activities, or even just prime mortgages, it is unlikely tha we would have seen such a large housing bubble. Instead, what did Fannie and Freddie do with its Chinese funds? It invested those funds in the subprime mortgage market. At the height of the bubble, Fannie and Freddie purchased over 40 percent of private-label subprime mortgage-backed securities. Fannie and Freddie also used those funds to lower the underwriting standards of the "prime" whole mortgages it purchased, turning much of the Alt-A and subprime market into what looked to the world like prime mortgages.
Given the massive leverage (at one point Freddie was leveraged 200 to 1) and shoddy credit quality of mortgages on their books, why were the Chinese and other investors so willing to trust their money to Fannie and Freddie? Because they were continually told by U.S. officials that their losses would be covered. At the end of the day, Fannie and Freddie were not bailed out in order to save our housing market; they were bailed out in order to protect the Chinese Central Bank from taking any losses on its Fannie/Freddie investments. Adding insult to injury is the fact that the Chinese accumulated these large dollar holdings in order to suppress the value of their currency, enabling Chinese products to be more competitive with American-made products.
While foreign investors have been willing to put considerable money into Wall Street, without the implied guarantees of Fannie and Freddie, trillions of dollars of global capital flows would not have been funneled into the U.S. subprime mortgage market. As Washington seems intent on continuing to mortgage America's future to the Chinese, that at minimum it seems that fixing Fannie and Freddie might help insure that something more productive is done with that borrowing.
Was it just me, or did there seem to be a whole lot of applause during Obama's Wall Street speech? Remember this was a room full of Wall Street executives. The President even started by thanking the Wall Street execs for their "warm welcome."
While of course, there was the obligatory slap on the wrist, that "we will not go back to the days of reckless behavior and unchecked excess," but there was no mention that the bailouts were a thing of the past. Indeed, there is nothing in Obama's financial plan that would prevent future bailouts, which is why I believe there was such applause. The message to the Goldman's of the world, was, you better behave, but even if you don't, you, and your debtholders will be bailed out.
The president also repeatedly called for "clear rules" and "transparency" - but where exactly in his plan is the clear line dividing who will or will not be bailed out? That's the part Wall Street loves the most; they can all say we've "learned the lesson of Lehman: Wall Street firms cannot be allowed to fail." At least that's the lesson that Obama, Geithner and Bernanke have taken away. The truth is we've been down this road before with Fannie and Freddie. Politicians always called for them to do their part, and that their misdeeds would not be tolerated. Remember all the tough talk after the 2003 and 2004 accounting scandals at Freddie and Fannie? But still they got bailed out, and what new regulations were imposed were weak and ineffective.
As if the applause wasn't enough, as Charles Gaspario points out, financial stocks rallied after the president's speech. Clearly the markets don't see his plan as bad for the financial industry.
It would seem the best investment Goldman has made in recent years was in its employees deciding to become the largest single corporate contributor to the Obama Presidential campaign. That's an investment that continues to yield massive dividends.
When Treasury Secretary Hank Paul proposed the bailout of Wall Street banks last September, I objected in part because the TARP meant that government connections, not economic merit, would come to determine how capital gets allocated in the economy. That prediction now looks dead on:
As financial firms navigate a life more closely connected to government aid and oversight than ever before, they increasingly turn to Washington, closing a chasm that was previously far greater than the 228 miles separating the nation's political and financial capitals.
In the year since the investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, paralyzing global markets and triggering one of the biggest government forays into the economy in U.S. history, Wall Street has looked south to forge new business strategies, hew to new federal policies and find new talent.
"In the old days, Washington was refereeing from the sideline," said Mohamed A. el-Erian, chief executive officer of Pimco. "In the new world we're going toward, not only is Washington refereeing from the field, but it is also in some respects a player as well… . And that changes the dynamics significantly."
Read the rest of the article; it is truly frightening. We have taken a huge leap toward crony capitalism, to our peril.
While banks such as Goldman and J.P. Morgan have managed to find a way to re-pay the capital injections made under the TARP bailout, their reliance on public subsidies is far from over. The federal government, via a debt guarantee program run by the FDIC, is still putting considerable taxpayer funds at risk on behalf of the banking industry. The Wall Street Journal estimates that banks participating in the FDIC debt guarantee program will save about $24 billion in reduced borrowing costs of the next three years. The Journal estimates that Goldman alone will save over $2 billion on its borrowing costs due to the FDIC's guarantees.
One of the conditions imposed by the Treasury department for allowing banks to leave the TARP was that such banks be able to issue debt not guaranteed by the government. Apparently this requirement did not apply to all of a firm's debt issues. These banks should be expected to issue all their debt without a government guarantee and be required to pay back any currently outstanding government guaranteed debt.
To add insult to injury, not only are banks reaping huge subsidies from the FDIC debt guarantee program, but the program itself is likely illegal. The FDIC's authority to take special actions on behalf of a failing "systemically" important bank is limited to a bank-by-bank review. The FDIC's actions over the last several months to declare the entire banking system as systemically important is at best a fanciful reading of the law.
The FDIC should immediately terminate this illegal program and end the continuing string of subsidies going to Wall Street banks, many of which are reporting enormous profits.
In today's Wall Street Journal, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has outlined "The Fed's Exit Strategy." He tells the reader how the central bank will avoid an inflation of historic proportions resulting from all the money and credit it has injected into the economy. All of the strategies he outlines are technically feasible ways for the Fed to implement monetary restraint.
The op-ed has an air of a classroom exercise, however, rather than a practical central-bank strategy. Much of the article is devoted to explaining how the Fed can now pay interest on reserves, and how it could raise that interest rate so as to dissuade commercial banks from lending the reserves out. It could do that, but what would that rate need to be in order to meet a private bank's threshold rate of return in normal economic times?
More importantly, the Fed has never lacked the technical tools to combat inflation. What it has so often lacked is the will to make tough decisions. And, quite frankly, it does not possess the information needed to fine-tune the economy in the way Chairman Bernanke imagines (a point made by Milton Friedman many years ago). Lack of will and lack of information combine to keep the Fed behind the curve. Its policy was too easy after 2001, and so it fueled the housing boom. It was late to recognize the turn in housing and the economy, and its policy was then too tight. If past is prologue, it will be late to implement its exit strategy.
The Fed Chairman has presented a laundry list of policy tools. What investors need is some assurance that the right tools will be used at the right moment. The mere promise of a policymaker to do the right thing has little credibility. There is no monetary rule in place, only the rule of a man.

Boston Whaler Harpoon 5.2...help.
I have the opportunity to buy a Harpoon 5.2 with trailer and outboard motor and I can't really find a way to feel out a healthy price range. The asking price is $3k and the boat is in good shape. I only know what I have read on the internet mainly on rauch dot net about the Harpoon 5.2. Any knowledge or pricing information or advice would be greatly appreciated it. I am somewhat nervous about making a bad purchase or getting in over my head. The boat has all its rigging etc.
I don't really have any good options to getting on the water on a regular basis so I would like to get a vessel of my own. I would be trailering this 5.2 in Beverly and Marion, MA. Thank you to anyone who responds!
First, I'd recommend you read the Boat Inspection Trip Tips thread I wrote. While a Harpoon 5.2 is a bit small for that thread, it will give you a basis for judging what condition the boat is in.
Great Boat
Boston Whalers are built by forcing active foam in between the hull and deck structure and then rocking the boat around to make sure there are no voids. The foam provides structural rigidity and floatation. If the boat ever takes a hit and the foam gets waterlogged, the boat is ruined. Try to weight the boat before you buy it.
I bought a 5.2 on a trailer for $5,000 back in 1980, sailed it for five years and sold it for $5,000. In 1995 I saw one in the Jacksonville newspaper for $5,000. They're that good. $3,000 may be reasonable for a 5.2 in good shape.
The Harpoon was a stable, fast,, bulletproof daysailer.
Passed on the Harpoon 5.2 due to inspection guidelines reported here and to upgrade my criteria by leaps and bounds. Now onto a c & c 34.

Colombo: The second Test between Sri Lanka and India ended in a draw on a batsmen dominated SSC track at Colombo. The hosts lead the series 1-0 with the final Test match to be played.
Sri Lanka in their their second innings finished 129 for the loss of three wickets before match was called off. Sehwag, Harbhajan and Mithun picked up one wicket each for the Indians.
Harbhajan had earlier given India their second breakthrough dismissing Paranavitana just as Sri Lanka had taken the lead.
Left-handed Paranavitana had edged Bhajji's flighted delivery to Laxman at slip to be dismissed after scoring 34 runs off 63 balls.
Abhimanyu Mithun had snapped up Dilshan who tried to pull a shortish delivery to a diving Ishant Sharma at short mid-wicket to get the first breakthrough for India.
Earlier, India were all out for 707 runs in the first session of play.
Resuming the final day's play at 669/9 the last Indian batting pair had added 38 run before the hosts finally got the final scalp.
Ishant Sharma was the last man to be dismissed. Fernando got the breakthrough for the hosts.
India have 65 runs lead as the Islanders come onto bat for the second time.
India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test - Scorecard
Yesterday, India with the help of Dhoni and Mithun had sailed past the mammoth Sri Lankan first innings score of 642/4 in the final session of play.
Dilshan had picked up two important wickets including the prized scalp of Sachin Tendulkar right at the start of the final session of play to give the hosts something to cheer about after a hard day's work on the field at day four at Colombo.
Then Dhoni who was joined by Abhimanyu Mithun had raised the Indian total past the 600 run mark and then past the Sri Lankan score. Dilshan had struck again to dismiss Dhoni, to pick up his third wicket of the session. Dhoni 76 runs off 138 balls which included seven boundaries in his innings.
Earlier, Tendulkar was dominant in the first two sessions of play and had scored his fifth double ton and had held the Indian innings together and brought the Indian total closer to the Sri Lankan total until he was finally dismissed by Dilshan. Dilshan follwed it up with another wicket of Harbhajan Singh who had joined Dhoni to replace Tendulkar.

Value Quality Price"I didn't need another DVDs screen and found this me wood that ticked all the boxes for me.
The Bluetooth is clear and easy to hear when on the phone.
The usb interface is easy to use as is the iPhone/iPod control.
Digital radio reception is as good as my old pioneer but seems to recover faster and drop out a little less in poor reception areas.
Setup is easy and all controls are easy to access.
Sound is good and hAs enough power to run front splits and rear 2way 6.5"".
Owned this unit for 4 mths so far and am very happy"
- A good headunit. Recommend
*Decent sound
*Easy install
*Phone bluetooth connection well implemented. Two simultaneous connections is great!
*Phone calls are crystal clear.
*My wife loves the changing colours, although some colours are hard to read.
*High gloss, LED backlit screen hard to read in high glare/sunny conditions
*Clock position is always on the bottom, smaller text part of the screen when listening to analog radio. I would've appreciated an option to swap the clock and radio frequency around.
I like the style. All the features work well, especially the phone handsfree functionality. Despite the few minor flaws, I really like it and highly recommend it.

Jessica Alba is the queen of boho-chic. She knows how to make an outfit appear effortless, yet always adds accessories like a scarf or hat to make her style stand-out above that of others. Jessica is today's #MondayMuse showcasing a look that is great for a hot mid-summer day. She wears an all-over printed black and white maxi dress and flat sandals for an outing with her daughter Honor (who is also dressed chic and adorably age appropriate in a denim jacket and sundress). She keeps her jewelry simple, wearing a silver necklace and gold bracelet. The statement-piece which gives her look an effortless appeal is the black hat, which is also a practical component for a sunny day. I think Jessica Alba makes all girls want to unleash their inner bohemian style.
Even a rummaged style needs a muse.
Rummage through your findings and meet me at the Runway.

For 30 years Michel Plasson has recorded French music exclusively for EMI Classics. This exclusive box is truly unique as it covers all the masterpieces of French repertoire: concertos by Ravel, Fauré's Requiem, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, Bizet's only symphony, L'Arlesienne; Lalo's Symphony; etc . . .
West German rock band Grobschnitt will see a very limited 17CD super deluxe box set of all 14 of their albums released later this month that comes with almost seven hours of bonus material. The box set is titled 79:10 and covers the entire output of the band from 1972 to 1989. Everything has been newly remastered and in total there is over 22 hours of material for fans to enjoy. The reason for '79:10′ is that each of the 17 CDs has 79 minutes and 10 secs of audio, so they are packed with content!…
Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 – November 19, 1828) was an Austrian composer.
Although he died at an early age, Schubert was tremendously prolific. He wrote some 600 Lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music, and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. Appreciation of his music during his lifetime was limited, but interest in Schubert's work increased dramatically in the decades following his death at the age of 31. Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn, among others, discovered and championed his works in the 19th Century. Today, Schubert is admired as one of the leading exponents of the early Romantic era in music and he remains one of the most frequently performed composers.
40 CD box set. Artists include John Lee 'Sonny Boy' Williamson, Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, Mississippi John Hurt, Memphis Minnie, John Lee Hooker, Big Joe Williams and many more. 725 tracks all digitally remastered to enhance the original recordings without manipulating the character of the music. Recordings made between 1923 and 1948. 20 double slimline jewel cases housed together in a cardboard box.

Title: Fresh Hazelnuts Jigsaw Puzzle
About: This new jigsaw features lots and lots of hazelnuts. A hazelnut is the nut of the hazel and is also known as cobnut or filbert nut. The nut falls out of the husk when ripe, about seven to eight months after pollination. The kernel of the seed is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a past. The seed has a thin, dark brown skin, which is sometimes removed before cooking.
