More quote details and news » , Shenzhen Airlines and Juneyao Airlines landed safely after some delays due to security checks. The Civil Aviation Administration of China said the threats appeared to be false.
"Police are presently doing their utmost to find the perpetrator," the regulator said in a statement.
An official at China Eastern said the carrier launched emergency procedures after a flight from Lanzhou to Xi'an received a threat shortly after takeoff on Wednesday morning. The official declined to specify the nature of the threat, said the plane landed safely and added that the airline is investigating the matter.
Three separate Shenzhen Airlines flights bound for Shenzhen—one each out of Nanjing, Xi'an and Beijing—received threats between 8 a.m. and 8:33 a.m. local time, the official Xinhua news agency reported. Flight ZH9866 was immediately ordered to return to Nanjing, while Flight ZH9243 out of Xi'an was redirected to the airport in Guilin, Xinhua said.
The other flight, ZH9889, hadn't yet left Beijing when the threat was received, according to the Xinhua report, but was cleared to take off after police inspected the plane.
Juneyao recalled a flight out of Shanghai and transferred passengers to another plane after determining there was no safety threat, the airline said in a statement posted to the Twitter-like Sina Weibo microblogging service.

Resorting to Tropicals for Houseplants

All About
Shrimp plant has a rather unusual, exotic flower. J. brandegeana has salmon-red and yellow bracts (small-leaf lookalikes) that overlap each other to form a shrimp-like flower. Another common name for J. lutea, golden candles, refers to the upright golden overlapping bracts. One species is used throughout the Caribbean as a hallucinogenic beverage, while another species is used to treat fever, coughs, colds and hair loss.
Shrimp plant can be grown indoors if it is provided with bright light. Allow it to dry out between waterings. Use as a summer annual outdoors or as a hedge in warmer climates. USDA Zones 9 to 10.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
A Bluetooth speakerphone allows you to answer and take calls in your care without holding your phone. These are much louder and more effective than the integrated speakerphones found on most mobile phones, and will also mean you avoid a run-in with the law.
Bluetooth speakerphones generally range from a relatively inexpensive $60 up to $150. Basic features are often similar to Bluetooth headsets and may include voice dialling, redialling and mute functions. We've rounded up some of the best models on the market; all have a clear speaker and are relatively easy to use.
The Supertooth 3 improves on its outstanding predecessor by offering text-to-speech technology as well as the ability to answer calls via your voice. This is simply an outstanding product.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Robert Redford biography
Born on August 18, 1936, in Santa Monica, California, Robert Redford has proved to be one of the great talents in American film, starring in classics such as The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. In 1978, Redford helped start the Sundance Film Festival, which has grown into one of the film industry's most prestigious events. He has also moved successfully into producing and directing.
Early Life
Born Charles Robert Redford Jr. on August 18, 1936, in Santa Monica, California, actor and director Robert Redford has proved to be one of the great talents in American film. He is equally at home behind the scenes as he is in front of the cameras. In addition to his own career, Redford has helped advance others in his field through the Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival.
The son of an oil company accountant, Redford excelled at sports. He played on the tennis and football teams at Van Nuys High School. On a personal level, however, Redford floundered as a teenager. After his mother died, he ran into some difficulties. "I was a failure at everything I tried. I worked as a box boy at a supermarket and got fired. Then my dad got me a job at Standard Oil—fired again," he later explained to Success magazine. Redford also had a few run-ins with the law for stealing hubcaps and sneaking into other people's yards to use their pools. In 1954, he graduated from Van Nuys High School.
Despite his misbehavior, Redford won a baseball scholarship to the University of Colorado, but he did not distinguish himself as an athlete there. Instead, "I became the campus drunk and blew out before I could ever get going," he told People magazine. Some reports say he dropped out, while others say that Redford was expelled from the university. In either case, he soon decided to move to Europe and become an artist.
His time in Europe was an eye-opening experience for the young Redford. During his time there, he lived the life of a Bohemian and learned about art, politics, and culture. Redford's interactions with students in Paris proved to be very significant. "We all lived in a kind of communal way and I was challenged politically. I didn't have a clue ... When I returned to America a year and a half later, I was much more focused on my country culturally and politically," he told the New Statesman.
Career Beginnings
After returning to the United States, Redford met Lola Van Wagenan. The couple married in 1958 and lived in New York City, and welcomed their first child soon after. Redford studied first at the Pratt Institute and then the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, switching from design to acting. Then in 1959, he and his wife experienced a terrible loss when the couple's five-month-old son Scott died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Redford poured himself into his acting, and started out his career in the theater. He first appeared on Broadway in the 1959 comedy Tall Story. He had only a small role in the production, but he landed a more substantial part in the 1960 drama Little Moon of Alban with Julie Harris.
Perhaps his biggest breakthrough came in 1963 with a leading role in Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park directed by Mike Nichols. Redford played Paul, a newlywed lawyer, in the romantic comedy.
Film Star
While he made his film debut in 1962's War Hunt, Redford's film career didn't really take off until 1967. He reprised his stage role as Paul in the film adaptation of Barefoot in the Park starring opposite Jane Fonda. Redford gave another star-making turn in the 1969 western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. In the film, he played an outlaw known as the Sundance Kid and his co-star Paul Newman played Butch Cassidy. The two proved to be a dynamic duo on screen, and the movie enjoyed both critical and commercial success.
Not one to be typecast as a "pretty boy," Redford sought out more challenging projects and avoided trading on his sex appeal. He tackled the sports drama Downhill Racer and the Western Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here, both released in 1969. Another important film for Redford was the 1972 political drama The Candidate, a dark, satirical look at campaigning.
As his career thrived, Redford sought refuge from the Hollywood scene. He had bought land in Utah in the 1960s with money from an inheritance, and he continued to add to his holdings there over the years. His love of land encouraged him to become active in environmental causes. In the 1970s, Redford even received death threats for his efforts to stop certain developments in Utah.
Redford had a banner year in 1973 with two major hit films—The Sting and The Way We Were. For The Sting, he again joined forces with Paul Newman to play con artists in 1930s Chicago. He received his first Academy Award nomination for the film. In The Way We Were, Redford starred opposite Barbra Streisand. The film charts the ups and downs of one couple's relationship. Returning to political fare, Redford scored another success with 1976's All the President's Men. He and Dustin Hoffman played famed reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in this drama about the Watergate scandal.
Actor and Filmmaker
With 1980's Ordinary People, Redford showed that he was more than just a handsome movie star. The film provides a heartbreaking look at a family torn apart by loss and grief. It served as his directorial debut and starred Mary Tyler Moore, Donald Sutherland, and Timothy Hutton. This drama brought Redford his first Academy Award—one for Best Director. Around this time, Redford helped establish the Sundance Institute. The Institute was created to help and support independent filmmakers through workshops and other means. He later launched the Sundance Film Festival, which has showcased independent films for more than 20 years.
As the 1980s progressed, Redford chose only a few acting roles. He starred in the 1984 baseball drama The Natural and the 1985 adventure tale Out of Africa, playing opposite Meryl Streep. Working behind the camera, Redford directed The Milagro Beanfield War (1988) starring Ruben Blades and Sonia Braga.
A group of local farmers struggle against a major development project in their area in the film.
Redford earned great accolades for his rural family drama A River Runs Through It (1992), which starred Brad Pitt and Tom Skerritt. Two years later, he explored the real-life corruption of 1950s game shows in Quiz Show, again earning strong praise for his work. Redford became a triple threat in 2000's The Horse Whisperer, working as the director, producer and star of the project.
Recent Projects
In recent years, Redford has been very selective about his film work. He directed and starred in 2007's political drama Lions for Lambs with Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep, which proved to be a commercial and critical disappointment. His next directorial effort, The Conspirator, was released in 2011. The film looks at the trial of Mary Surratt, the only woman charged in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The following year, Redford directed and starred in The Company You Keep. This thriller, which co-stars Shia LaBeouf and Julie Christie, tells the story of a 1960s radical who has been living underground and his discovery by a reporter.
Now in his 70s, Redford has received numerous awards and honors for his work. He has earned his place in film history not only for his own artistic endeavors, but for the opportunities he has provided others to advance their work. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences recognized his contributions to the medium in 2001 with an honorary award for serving as an "inspiration to independent and innovative filmmakers everywhere."
Personal Life
Redford is currently married to Sibylle Szaggars, a German painter. The couple wed in 2009 after being together since the mid-1990s. His first marriage to wife Lola ended in 1985, and they have three children together—daughters Shuana and Amy and son Jamie.

text: Sweet silence of a Sunday morn, The world of weekday chaos shorn, Not even the honking of a horn As traffic idled, Held back by the arms of the Law, Impelled to wait, with tempers raw, Stewing in the sun's hot maw, Impatience bridled. And as I stood outside a shop, Wondering why the world had stopped, Out of the stillness came a "flop", A sound so faint. Repeated with a steady beat, Approaching from the small side street, Till into view, with flapping feet - A sight so quaint - Emerged a plodding mother duck, Welded to her scrambling pack, Never once e'en glancing back To take a tally! (Which baby duck would ever fail To follow close on mother's tail When upon the pilgrim trail, Or dare to dally?) A Moses on full purpose bent, No glance to right or left she lent As straight across the road she went, To lead her brood Down into the flowing stream, Where ducks may swim and ducks may dream, Safe from the ire and hissing steam Of traffic queued. And did she realize her luck On reaching the promised land, Ma Duck? That out of danger she'd been plucked, By humans saved? For some observant soul in sight Had soon foreseen approaching plight And brought the police upon the site To part the waves!

Louis XIV was born on September 5, 1638, in Saint-Germaine-en-Laye, France. He became king in 1643. As of 1661, he started reforming France. In 1667 he invaded the Spanish Netherlands. From 1672–1678 he engaged France in the Franco-Dutch War. In 1688, he led a war between France and the Grand Alliance. By the 1680s, Louis XIV generated public hostility. He died in Versailles, France, on September 1, 1715.
"I am the state."
"I have loved war too much."
Childhood and Early Reign
Louis XIV was born on September 5, 1638, in Saint-Germaine-en-Laye, France, and christened Louis-Dieudonné—French for "Gift of God." His mother was the Hapsburg Spanish queen Anne of Austria, and his father was Louis XIII, king of France. Louis XIV had a brother named Philippe, who was two years younger.
On May 14, 1643, when Louis XIV was just 4 and a half years old, his father passed away. Not much more than a toddler, Louis XIV succeeded his father to the throne, becoming the leader of 19 million French subjects and a highly unstable government. Over the course of his childhood, Louis XIV was primed as a leader, receiving a practical education rather than a scholarly one. Louis XIV's godfather, Italian-born Chief Minister Cardinal Jules Mazarin, was responsible for tutoring the boy in history, politics and the arts. Louis XIV's governor, Nicolas de Neufville, was appointed to keep watch over the lad, but incidents like young Louis XIV's near drowning indicate that the monarch was overlooked as a child, if not as a ruler in the making.
In 1648, when Louis XIV was still shy of 10 years old, the Parlement of Paris rebelled against his chief minister, Mazarin. In an attempt to overthrow the crown, they waged a civil war, called the Fronde, against its supporters. Throughout the long war, Louis XIV suffered many hardships, including poverty and starvation. To Louis XIV's relief, Mazarin finally achieved victory over the rebels in 1653. After the civil war ended, Mazarin began to build an elaborate administration as Louis XIV stood by and observed his mentor. By then, Louis XIV had come of age, but he was still afraid to question Mazarin's authority.
A few years later, Louis XIV fell in love with Marie Mancini, Mazarin's niece. Ultimately choosing duty over love, in 1660 he married the daughter of the king of Spain, Marie-Thérèse of Austria, instead. The marriage ensured ratification of the peace treaty that Mazarin had sought to establish with Hapsburg Spain.
Reforming France
Although Louis XIV's mother, Anne, had become his regent when he took the throne as a child, Chief Minister Cardinal Jules Mazarin held the true power throughout Louis XIV's early reign. It wasn't until Mazarin died in 1661, when Louis XIV was in his 20s, that the young king finally took control of the French government. Upon assuming full responsibility for the kingdom, Louis XIV quickly set about reforming France according to his own vision.
His first goal as absolute monarch was to centralize and rein in control of France.

Royally Wronged
The Washington Shakespeare Company has concocted a 'Royal Hunt' that resides between the sublime and the subpar
By Jolene Munch
Published on August 4, 2005, 12:00am | Comments
For many ancient cultures and aboriginal tribes, worshipping the sun as a sovereign deity was as natural to life as eating grain and breathing in fresh air. For the Incans, they worshipped their earthbound god as no less than the son of the sun, a belief that inspired cruel intolerance and mockery from a relatively small army of Christian Spaniards in the middle of the 16th Century. And although the soldiers were outwardly determined to convert the peaceful natives to their own spiritual inclinations, time would reveal their authentic idol as nothing more than shimmering, shiny gold.
Peter Shaffer's historical retelling The Royal Hunt of the Sun visits that tempestuous South American conquest with an eye for justice and a nose for sniffing out hypocrisy and religious tedium. It's a sprawling, intimidating script from the author of Amadeus and Equus, dressed with lofty ideas and competing themes of politics and theology. There are unresolved questions of loyalty, honor, and faith, and although director Steven Scott Mazzola doesn't attempt to update Shaffer's 1965 epic drama, it's the kind of resonating theatrical literature that highlights the notion that entire nations and unscrupulous rulers still commit unfathomable crimes in the name of their gods, hiding under a veil of religious sanctimony and diplomatic integrity.
Captive audience: Mezzacappa and Pereya (Photo by Ray Gniewek) |
There are peaks and valleys of drama in Washington Shakespeare Company's rugged production, which is nothing if not visually articulate and musically astute. WSC employs original work from Mariano Vales, whose lush melodic interludes and drifting incidentals provide a sublime, enchanting score that consistently moves the story forward. Vales' captivating combination of Shaffer's text with poetry and indigenous Quechuan music is delivered by a serene trio of women (Leslie Sarah Cohen, Katherine E. Hill, and Beth Madeline Rubens), and Krissie Marty is credited with imaginative choreography indicative of traditional Incan gestures.
The sparse set designed by Matthew Soule features an enormous cloth backdrop bathed in the shadows of Ayun Fedorcha's ambient lighting, and Cynthia Abel Thom's costumes merely hint at the period without bearing elaborate, heavy armor or expensive artillery. The effect is tasteful and feels appropriate for the dark, hollow playing fields inside the wide Clark Street space.
It seems that Mazzola, who by day works at The Shakespeare Theatre, has learned a thing or two from that theater's Michael Kahn on moving actors around a stage. While he demonstrates a gift for lively, physical staging and graceful pageantry, his troupe toggles back and forth between presentational college fare and a mature brand of unique stagework. The ensemble is energized by rousing group scenes, but the smaller duets and trios frequently fall flat. Mazzola also employs a curiously inconsistent form of sign language that lends no value to the exchange, and the use of the same actors in multiple roles adds a confusing dimension.
For all of their dense ruminations on soul-searching and self-preservation, the general execution by the actors lacks the same spirit that drives the dialogue. They make lovely music together, but not much else by way of heartfelt conviction on matters of death and glory. As the arrogant commander of the expedition, James Foster Jr. offers a wooden, recitative performance, and Daniel Ladmirault's self-righteous chaplain is rife with scornful melodrama.
Thankfully there are exceptions, and ironically enough, it is Peter Pereyra's Incan god Atahuallpa who brings the most humanity to Shaffer's story. The second act opens with Atahuallpa held captive by the conquistadors, and Pereyra is in fine form as a humbled Peruvian lord who must win over his enemies. As he dances and fences with the opposition, Pereyra is a convincing force.
The saga is regaled through an apprentice narrator, and like a young Luke Skywalker, Matt Mezzacappa is an engaging presence as the ''little lord of hope'' pageboy to Foster's general. The older version is portrayed by Jim Jorgenson, and the effect is a ghost's memory of how a fraternal contract borne out of greed sparked the fall of the Incan Empire.
Ultimately Shaffer's play is produced for its lingering effect and inevitable post-show debate, not for its convoluted drama and inelegant plot. And while their ambitions are admirable, WSC has concocted a Royal Hunt that rests somewhere between the sublime and the subpar.

I love the way findagrave.com combines geography with history. The places our ancestors lived are as important as their names and dates. It's hard to pass up a cemetery. Whether you know someone buried there or not, you know the people there were treasured by someone, and all of them had a story.
When I run into a brick wall on my Blanset, Naylor, Williams, Ecker, or Rosa ancestors, I am happy to chase somebody else's. It's always fascinating to unravel a mystery, and fun to share with someone who wants to know.
The Internet is a fabulous tool for researching family history, but it doesn't match the thrill of discovery in a musty courthouse vault or a shady cemetery. I'm glad that we share our finds, but I hope everyone interested in family history gets the chance to walk the ground their ancestors walked.

RE: Eshcol Cemetery - Perry County
Not sure what's wrong with my computer, but all of the little maps for Find-a-Grave cemeteries keep disappearing on me!
I see it and when I go to look again, it's gone! So would you happen to have the address or at least the street name for this cemetery.
I know the Clousers I'm looking aren't there, but if I'm up that way, I'd like to see where it it, just for the fun of it!
Thanks so much.

On this Find-A-Grave posting it references the September 15th, 1819 edition of the Winyaw Intelligencer newspaper. My G-G-G grandmother's (Mary Walker) obituary is also in this edition of the paper. Does whoever posted this know if there is a copy in existence somewhere? I need it for proof of parentage to join the South Carolina Huguenot Society. Any help is appreciated.

RE: Clousers in Eshcol cemetery
Thank you for checking that for me.
Question, and maybe you don't know this, but if it's found they're in another cemetery, can the memorial be changed to reflect that if the "owner" isn't active anymore?
Thanks so much.

RE: Eshcol Cemetery - Perry County
I'm looking for Samuel Clouser, memorial #58329412 & Rebecca Wentz Clouser, memorial #58329443, although the person who posted them isn't sure they're buried there.
And it looks like they no longer have an active Find-a-Grave "account. At least when I click on the hyperlink, it says it's not available. Or I would have asked them how sure they are they're buried there.
I'll look at the map again, and see if I can figure it out.
Thanks so much.

Eshcol Cemetery - Perry County
I see you've taken pictures at this cemetery - great!
Would you be so kind as to give me an address? It looks like I have ancestors there as well, and I'd love to get there to look around and hopefully get some of my own pictures - if they have headstones!
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

SEATTLE -- An e-mail uncovered by KING 5 reignites the controversy over a King County deputy who used so much force he left an innocent man brain damaged. The e-mail shows red flags were raised years ago about the deputy's use of force. But the victim's family didn't know it existed.
The video of Chris Harris being slammed into a wall by King County Sheriff's deputy Matt Paul is deeply disturbing.
"They took away the greatest person I ever met in my life," said Chris' wife, Sarah.
Harris had been wrongly identified as a suspect in a crime. The mistake was catastrophic.
"He used to love to eat and cook and eat. He can't do that. He's on a feeding tube," said Chris' mother, Sharla Keeling.
In January 2011, almost two years after the near fatal blow, King County paid the Harris family $10 million--money they say is going to care for Chris.
Ten million dollars was a record settlement, yet the sheriff defended her deputy.
"There was no evidence of misconduct on the part of Deputy Paul," said King County Sheriff Rahr.
But after we obtained Paul's file and discovered 19 use of force cases and 7 citizen complaints the sheriff ordered more training.
"I do believe he can make some different decisions and I we want him to make some different decisions and we're going to do that," said Sheriff Rahr.
But the KING 5 Investigators uncovered more than a pattern of questionable force. We found evidence the sheriff's office was warned years earlier that Paul was too aggressive.
In 2007, while working at the Basic Law Enforcement Academy he was too rough. The academy commander waved a red flag.
In an internal e-mail obtained by the KING 5 Investigators, Commander Ron Griffin wrote to Paul's bosses at the sheriff's office warning Paul "exhibited behaviors that were a concern and we no longer wished to use him".
The concerns included using force "far above the norm" and showing a "macho type demeanor not acceptable to our goals." Paul's chief flagged it an early warning indicator that the deputy should be monitored.
When questioned why he wasn't watched more closely, then King County Spokesperson Sgt. John Urquhart said he didn't have an answer.
It's not the only answer the Harris family is seeking. They want to know why they had to learn about that e-mail on KING 5.
They've filed new documents with the court, asking for an additional $3.3 million from King County.
In a court motion filed in support of that request, Harris's attorney Sim Osborn, argued the e-mail is evidence that the sheriff's office "showed deliberate indifference to Deputy Paul's use of excessive force."
The King County Sheriff's office told KING 5 that they did not deliberately conceal the email.
King County has hired an outside attorney, Timothy Gosselin, to represent the Sheriff's office in the new case. Gosselin told KING 5 "we believe there was a very clear and logical reason for why that document (the e-mail) wasn't turned over." The Harris family requested Paul's entire file, but Gosselin said "finding the e-mail was like finding a needle in a haystack."
Now it's up to a judge to decide if King County should pay the additional $3.3 million the Harris family is asking for. A hearing is set for March 8th in Pierce County Superior Court.

My Latest Mix Issue 1
So, I'm gonna try a new article series for you readers where I post the track list of the latest mix CD that I made. I still don't have an MP3 player aside from my Droid (never saw the use for one), so I still resort to making mixes for my car.
There are two things I hope to get from this:
1) I want a chance to show other styles of music that I listen to. I'm not ONLY a metalhead, y'know? I try to listen to all styles of music, from classical to jazz to metal to pop to electronica to traditional folk and everything in between. And this leads me to…
2) I hope that by doing this, many of you readers will find new artists to check out. What's better than finding new music that you really enjoy? I love finding new artists to check out!
So, after the jump, you'll find the track list of the latest mix CD I made (in the same order) along with a YouTube video (if there is one) for you to check out songs right away!
Make sure to leave a comment if you like or dislike this article idea. If you love this idea and are artistically inclined and want to create 'My Latest Mix' logo for following articles, send me a PM to my BD username: Phantasmagoria666. If your logo gets picked, you'll definitely be credited!

The room we had was beautiful. The largest we have ever had and nicely accommodated. We had a wonderful cabin stewart, Michael When we sailed from Dover, you could hear a whistling coming from the outside balcony door. We temporarily fixed with a towel. It was reported to cabin stewart and fixed the next day by carpenter putting in weatherstripping. A few days into cruise, the paint and primer from the balcony of our neighbor's cabin fell onto our balcony in middle of the night. Hopefully this was corrected once shipped docked in Dover. Overall--ship is in need of updating--worn carpentry and fading paint.
Destinations were great. We did private tours or walked on our own in all locations except Stockholm. There we used an NCL excursion and was sorely disappointed since it failed to come close to matching the description. Including being short on time. It confirmed our decision to arrange our own tours as the best approach.
Tallin is a beautiful stop and very easy to do without a planned tour. Same is true for Copenhagen and Helsinki. St. Petersburg and Berlin you need an arranged tour. Many people have private tours. Our tour in Berlin was higher price than NCL, but St. Petersburg arrangements lower cost. Both times we had great tour guides. Stockholm is where boat doesn't dock and you tender. An hour trip into stockholm. We did note that many cruise ships appear to anchor closer to stockholm to avoid the one hour trip. No such option for the Berlin stop. Since all cruise ships dock at Warnemunde and there is a 2-3 hour ride to Berlin
Food on Board was mediocre compared to other cruise lines. There was a sameness each day. As others have noted, the buffet is a zoo--too small an area for the ship. Where possible, we had breakfast at Seven Seas The outdoor cafe (next to the inside buffet) is only place available for food between 2.30 & 5 pm. Ship is not flexible. On day it poured rain (Copenhagen)--rather than open indoor buffet, ship made all passengers go out in rain to get food. Most passengers came back to ship early because of rain. No one was happy to go back out in rain to have lunch. We did not use any of the specialty dinner sites. We also discovered late in cruise, that if you ask for something not on the menu (like a baked potato)--you could get one. This is a good tip to know from the beginning of the cruise.
Back to our primary theme. We are very glad we took the trip and enjoyed all of the destinations (particularly Tallin, St. Petersburg and Berlin). However, in future we will look at other cruise lines, unless NCL is offering only trip that meets our destination and timing needs.
To all, have a great trip.

Respiratory infections, such as colds and the flu, are one of the most common causes of asthma flare-ups, especially in young children. A stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, fever, or other signs and symptoms caused by a cold or flu (influenza) virus can be a nuisance. But if you have asthma, even a minor respiratory infection can cause major problems. Asthma signs and symptoms, such as wheezing and chest tightness, may not respond as well to regular asthma medications. Also, asthma symptoms caused by a respiratory infection may last for several days to weeks.
