Food was wonderful! We missed the anytime dining, but we found that there were no long waits for dishes, hot food came piping hot, and the head waiter came to every table every night to check in and chat. We felt totally pampered! One afternoon we ate lunch at the buffet and when we went back for the chocolate ice cream, it was gone. My husband was a little disappointed, and they went to find, and bring him, a tall dish of his chocolate! We were blown away! This would never happen on a large ship.
There are no bells and whistles on this ship. There is just excellent service, comfort, and quiet elegance. On our last voyage on a larger ship, (the Crown Princess)they repeated entertainment the following evenings, so that every other night there was nothing to see. The last evening there was nothing. Even the comic they brought on board repeated his exact stand-up routine two times! On this ship, there was new entertainment EVERY night, and they even brought on local whirling dervishes and belly dancers in Egypt. It was great!
Here is just one example of how fabulous this crew was: We bought a coffee card. On the first day, we went to Deck 5 and had a custom, iced, chocolate/coffee drink blended for us. The next day, we were instantly recognized, and the drinks completely recalled and duplicated. Amazing!You really get to know the staff and crew on this ship, and they quickly become like old friends.
Embarkment and disembarkment went quickly and smoothly. We were surprised to have to surrender our passports for Egypt when we got on, but we had receipts to put away for getting them back. The morning of visa stamping went very quickly. There were no long lines in hot sun to get on and off the ship. There were no long lines for ANYTHING! When we entered our stateroom for the first time (in Venice),here were tender transfers to go into the San Marco Square if you wanted, and if not,youjust had to turn them in and then you would not be charged the $15 each for them. Very thoughtful...a nice touch, I think.
Patmos, Greece
You get tendered into this port. Rating: 2
This is quiet, small-town island. The town itself was limited, the main attraction was a monastery that we did not go to. We shopped a bit, and went back to the ship. It was torridly hot that day, and we really did not see much there. It could be lovely...I honestly cannot say much about it.
Ravenna, Italy Rating : 2
The ship provided shuttles into and out of Ravenna. We did not know this in advance and had already booked our only ship's excursion into Brisghella and Faenza. DO NOT BOTHER TO DO THIS EXCURSION. We were taken to see an old, faded, mostly emptied palace that did not hold any one's attention for long, a ceramics factory (that was interesting but limited)and a small church. We walked empty streets to see Brisghella, not much to see there-colorful, quaint, limited. We returned in rain, and so we honestly did not see Ravenna.
Kusadasi, Turkey RATING: 4
We have been here before and already seen Ephasus, so we strolled the city and shopped the bazaar for the things we had no time for in Egypt. Spent half a day and went back on the ship. We were hot and still tired from Egypt and Israel in the 120 degree heat wave. Saw the rug making demonstrations, the "genuine fakes-- buy 2 Cartier watches for $35 and they throw in a pashmina shawl!!!! " I bet that those watches work for at least 3 days, too!

A Wild West-style shoot 'em up just off a busy street on a Saturday night? No big deal to folks in Philadelphia's Spring Garden neighborhood.
FOX 29 has obtained security camera video of a gun battle that played out in the parking lot between a gas station and car wash just off 11th and Spring Garden St. just before 9pm Saturday.
Police say the sale of a dirt bike went sour, leading to an exchange of gunshots between two groups of men.
Three muzzle flashes could be seen on the nighttime video, but by daylight Monday, more than a dozen chalk outlines- marking where shell casings fell- could be counted on the parking lot and sidewalk nearby.
The reaction from folks who live nearby?
A collective yawn.
"I mean, it's a fairly safe neighborhood," Vincent Frolich told our Bruce Gordon. "Kind of a good, working-class area, and every so often, a bad egg or two gets in, but it's not awful."
Gordon asked Colleen Duncan if the gunfire made her nervous.
"Uh, no," Duncan replied. "It's Philadelphia, so something happens everywhere you are. Doesn't matter what neighborhood. Just, some more often than others."
T.J. Carricato put the Spring Garden violence in context:
"I've lived here for, like, six months," said Carricato, "but I used to live in North Philly, up by Temple, so it's nicer than living up there."
Less shooting here?

A new security policy is designed to streamline access to Fort Bragg and reduce congestion at the fort's gates. The Army's Trusted Traveler Program took effect this week. Under the program, those who are authorized to enter the fort will now be able to vouch for those in their vehicles so passengers will no longer have to show identification to gate guards. Those vouching for the passengers will be responsible for them while they are on the base. Authorized visitors include uniformed service members and their spouses, Department of Defense employees, and retired uniformed service members and their spouses with identification cards. Those over 17 without military ID cards still need a government-issued ID in case they are asked to show it on the base.

Over the past few weeks, I have been developing a device that enables external control of Wirecast and XSplit. Here's a video of the device in action:
But now, let's get into the a little bit of background information:
While the TriCaster from NewTek has made great strides in decreasing the cost of video switching hardware, and can be credited with some of the rapid expansion of live streaming on the Internet, it still requires an initial investment of about $20,000 on the entry-level. Even though this is down from around 5x or 10x the cost just a few years ago for professional-grade hardware, a significant startup cost is still presented.
This brings us to my day job. For the past 4 years I have worked here at PC Perspective. My job began as an intern helping to develop video content, but quickly expanded from there. Several years ago, we decided to make the jump to live content, and started investing in the required infrastructure. Since we obviously didn't need to worry about the availability of PC Hardware, we decided to go with the software video switching route, as opposed to dedicated hardware like the TriCaster. At the time, we started experimenting with Wirecast and bought a few Blackmagic Intensity Pro HDMI capture cards for our Canon Vixia HV30 cameras. Overall, building an 6 core computer (Core i7-980x in those days) with 3 capture cards resulted in an investment of about $2500.
Advantages to the software route not only consisted of a much cheaper initial investment, we had an operation running for about a 1/10th of the cost of a TriCaster, but ultimately our setup was more expandable. If we had gone with a TriCaster we would have a fixed number of inputs, but in this configuration we could add more inputs on the fly as long as we had available I/O on our computer.
Kodak Files Chapter 11, Looks To Bankruptcy For Protection
Subject: General Tech | January 20, 2012 - 01:24 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: kodak, chapter 11, bankrupt, restructure, patents, cameras, photography
Eastman Kodak company has been on the rocky edges financially for some time and late last year there were rumors that Kodak would be filing for bankruptcy. Well, it looks like the company's financial position is now official, as they have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and are working to restructure their US operations and become profitable. The company has paired with Lazard, FTI Consulting Inc and Sullivan & Cromwell to assist them in shaving down their business into a lean, mean, picture capturing machine. Under their Chapter 11 filing, Kodak will work to bolster liquidity by trimming down the business to its core and monetizing their "non-strategic intellectual property." The IP likely will involve Kodak selling off some of their non-core patents for imaging. After all, they have a catalog of 1,100 patents, so they definitely have plenty of room to work with in monetizing their assets.
According to Tom's Hardware, since 2003 the company has shut down 13 manufacturing plants, 130 processing facilities, and shed 47,000 workers. Further, to help with the restructuring process, they have obtained $950 million debtor-in-possession loan through Citigroup that will mature in 18 months. This should give the company enough cash to tide them over while they restructure and prepare to sell off certain assets. Kodak states that "Kodak aims to build company that will be successful in the marketplace – and a positive force in the communities we call home." It is important to note that the non-U.S. based operations of Kodak are not affected by the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
Kodak has set up a web page to detail their restructuring efforts.

I had a question about a web page that was created by you on Agnes E. Litewiak who was buried in the little lake cemetery. The web page says (not marked) does that mean she is buried in an unmarked grave? I live in her old house she died in 2001 and my mother and I were hoping to take Some roses to Agnes from our rose bushes that were originally hers. I hope to hear from you soon. :)

Doom, Gloom and The Economy's 1.25% GDP Growth
If you want to know why this election is important to our prosperity and economy, there are several data points you can turn to.
It might be the fact that Household income is down 8.2%. Or it might be the fact that our debt is now over $16 trillion.
For me, the biggest concern is that the bad trend of higher taxes and more spending under Obama will continue. Entitlement spending under Obama will grow 60% over the next 10 years and it will eat us alive. More precisely, our public debt/GDP ratio will go past the tipping point of 100% after which we become the next Greece. The 21 new taxes in Obamacare will hurt job creation and those Obamacare taxes are the biggest tax increase in history:
ObamaCare legislation raises taxes by $420 billion between 2010 and 2019 and spends $788 billion to increase health coverage.
Now, it's far too easy to get so caught up in the doom and gloom to think "Oh, we are in a recession" when in fact we have been in a recovery. Team Obama assures us that all is rosy because we have eked out positive job growth numbers each month for over 40 months (we hit a 'zero' number in August 2011, but it was eked by revisions into positive territory). What they won't own up to is the WEAK numbers on growth, job creation, and fiscal stability. Despite $6 trillion in new debt, the most agressively 'easy' money in Federal Reserve history, with their $3 trillion in Quantitative Easing, this was the GDP growth in Q2: 1.25%. From Zero Hedge:
So much for the US recovery (we will never tire of saying that). After the first Q2 GDP revision bubbled up from 1.5% to 1.7%, the sellside brigade was confident that the rate of growth would continue and final Q2 GDP would be in line. Instead, we got an absolute shock of a print, with the final Q2 GDP print coming in at a ridiculously low 1.25% (rounded up to 1.3%), below the lowest Wall Street estimate of 1.4%, and the lowest number since the revised 0.1% reported in January 2011. Here is the final GDP trendline: Q4 2011: 4.1%; Q1 2012: 2.0%; Q2 2012: 1.25%.
The 1.25% GDP growth in Q2 2012 is pathetic and is proof enough that this 'recovery' is not adequate. And recent durable goods orders down in August and other monthly metrics shows continued weakness and predictions that 2nd half 2012 will be weaker, as CEOs worry about the fiscal cliff. Job growth of around 120,000 is lower than the increase in working population, which is why more people went on food stamps than got jobs last month. As Rush Limbaugh puts it, "That's a gnat's eyelash above a recession".
We need to remember what this election is about. Obama's faith in redistribution, higher taxes and boondoggle-spending-as-stimulus is misplaced and dangerous to the economy. Obama's economic mismanagement is not some theoretical construct that might in some future harm some people down the road. No. His policies are destroying jobs, have destroyed jobs, balooned our debt and is harming economic growth RIGHT NOW.
We say it of all elections: The stakes in this election could not be higher. But then most elections don't have the financial future of the entire country on the line, or the prospects of a 'lost decade' economically on the line, and the current, ongoing dreadful economic data to prove the direness of our current situation. We have to do better, we need a change, and we need to urgently recommit to making that happen. Please share this with everyone you know and ask them: Is this economic data a sign of a good President and a good economic steward? Would you re-hire or fire someone who performed so badly?
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair – 2 Cor 4:8

Not only did the new royal couple pick the very best day of the year to get married, we share this sweet 16th anniversary of ours with such amazing couples as (my personal heroes) President Gordon & Marjorie Hinckley, (my uncle and aunt) Joe & Janet Cramer, and (my brother and sister-in-law) Joe & Brittney Cramer.

I love how my Cramer grandparents celebrated their "monthliversary" where he would give her a treat and a note on the 25th of every month. Today we will be carrying on our tradition of watching our wedding video and reminiscing about our years together. Happy anniversary to us all, and a cheer for happy marriages everywhere!

The University of Maine allows students to add courses, to change sections within a course or to alter the grading option for a course through the first five class days of each semester. Courses may be dropped over a much longer period, but students will receive no tuition refund for courses dropped after the tenth day of classes each semester. Withdrawal from individual courses is reflected on the academic transcript using the same guidelines as withdrawal from the University.
Occasionally the University may cancel a class during the first week because of insufficient enrollment. Courses with numbers from 100 to 299 may be cancelled if fewer than 12 students enroll; those numbered from 300 to 499 may be cancelled if fewer than 8 students enroll (fewer than 12 students for courses offered through the Continuing Education Division).

Daniels waved him off and sipped his new, just-arrived coffee. Whitaker passed him a napkin.
"Thank you, Cecil," Daniels said.
"He sees me," said Whitaker, brushing off the jibe, "and it just kicks in."
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
OK, here's where the irony comes in: Though Whitaker has the title role in "Lee Daniels' The Butler," Daniels — whose name is in the title (partly to avoid a lawsuit with the copyright-holders of a 1916 silent film, "The Butler"), and who spends every day of production on his movies wearing pajamas (including on "Precious," for which he received an Oscar nomination for best director) — is the more outsized figure here. And even Daniels is nowhere near as prominent as Whitaker's co-star in "Lee Daniels' The Butler." Indeed, Oprah Winfrey, who plays Gloria, Gaines' discontented and long-suffering alcoholic wife, seems to receive not only equal billing in the movie's marketing but nearly as much screen time as Whitaker.
"That's not really true," Daniels said when it was suggested that Winfrey — who served as a producer on "Precious" and is in her first movie role since 1998's "Beloved" — gets more close-ups than Whitaker.
He leaned in to make a point: "No, here's what you're seeing: Where Gloria is very, you know, forward, Cecil is not. They are yin and yang. Subliminally, you are imagining Oprah has more close-ups than Forest, I think. You are watching Oprah Winfrey and maybe you can't believe she made this transformation? That's what's going on? Her residue, because she is Oprah, has remained with you, maybe."
To be fair, any remotely receding actor would become invisible in a cast this Oscar-y: John Cusack is Nixon! James Marsden is JFK!! Robin Williams is Eisenhower!!! Alan Rickman is Reagan!!!! Jane Fonda is Nancy Reagan!!!!! Lenny Kravitz and Cuba Gooding Jr. are White House butlers!!!!!! (So overstuffed is this cast that Melissa Leo, as Mamie Eisenhower, was cut from the final film.) As you might assume, there's a lot of acting involved here: Winfrey, for instance, must pretend as though she has never visited the White House.
"To be honest with you," Whitaker said, "I never thought of Oprah as Oprah during filming. She is a large presence, yes, but I didn't think of her that way. I just thought of the scenes we had together, and Oprah was totally in character during most of those scenes. She was so present, and any time I get to stay in character, that's good. Because a lot of actors take you out of character during filming, so then you have to re-enter that space again when you resume shooting. But with Oprah, the truth was just happening and —"
"It was startling!" Daniels said.
"It was startling!" Whitaker said. "I would be forced to do something with her that wasn't in the script, and she was with me the whole time. Oprah plays an alcoholic, and there's a scene where she's got all these emotions and I was trying to figure out: What do I do with Oprah here? What do I do? Do I help Oprah, playing someone drunk, over to the couch? Or do I carry Oprah there? What do I do with Oprah? I didn't know what to do with Oprah! Which is what happens when another actor keeps you in character. The scene where we see the two of—"
"The two of them just sitting down after (a death in the film)," Daniels said. "Getting to that point was …"
"Incredible! These men come to the door (in the film) and tell us what happened," Whitaker explained, "and when we shot that, Oprah wailed. She let out this scream, fell to the floor. It was an overwhelming moment, and it's not in the film. I think Oprah was nervous about the role. I would be nervous after not being in movies for so long and then you find yourself in a role that intense. But I got to be honest: I know Oprah is across from me, and I'm not saying she stops being Oprah. She is a very powerful, very impressive person. But I am focused when I am working and I am staying close my character, and as a result, I feel somewhat shielded from the concerns that someone else might have. Oprah is right over there, yes, but I live to serve the role."

Residents share with CNN what it was like when the explosion occurred at the West Fertilizer Plant Wednesday night.
"It was like a bomb. It like, picked you up. It just took your breath away. And then it dropped you and it exploded everything around you. Gust of wind, it was like a suction and then it just blew it all out. You could feel everything. You could feel it on your skin, your hair was being blown. It was crazy."
"We were close enough, basically to just cover the kids, as it picked you up and dropped you. It blew the kids on the ground. We were able to cover one and then I grabbed my little one and dove through a door. It was chaos. All my windows blew out, my doors off the hinges. All I had were my keys in my hand and I just threw the dog, everybody in the car and we took off."
"Beat up, hurts, but I'm alive so I'm happy. I was actually picked up and thrown about 10 feet, because I was standing at the end of my bed, and then where I landed was by the bathroom about 10 feet closer into the house. Thank God that I went upstairs, because if I hadn't, the couch that I had been on, when I came down and looked at it, the couch wasn't there. It was right in front of a big bay window, and it was shredded from the glass from the bay window, so if I had been on that couch, I'd be dead. I thought lightning at first, because it was the bright flash and the thunder, and they said there were supposed to be thunder storms tonight, and when I realized the roof caved in, I thought you know it can't be lightning, because lightning wouldn't cause the roof to cave in. I thought, you know, what happened, you know, I'm breathing so I'm good, and that's when survival kicked in and said, just get out. As I was coming out, my neighbor was running to see if I was all right, and yelling that the train exploded, and when he saw me coming out, he asked me if I was all right, and at that point, I didn't think I was injured, so I told him yes. My dog ran off down the road, so I went to try and get it, and that's when my glasses, blood started running down my glasses where I couldn't see. I thought about my wife, but luckily she wasn't home. She was driving back from work at the church, 7 miles from home, when it blew up. Just start over. Houses are replaceable, lives aren't. I have my life, my wife has her life, my mom, my dad. We're a little beat up, but we're alive."

Role of the Peer Mentor
Peer Mentors at Augustana serve two main functions.
The most visible function is the work they do at Fall Connection. In facilitating interaction amongst the advising groups, guiding first year students around the campus, helping students move into the residential halls, and performing myriad other tasks, they play a crucial role in the success of this orientation program. They serve, essentially, as ambassadors to the incoming students from the student body, and help these incoming students to develop a sense of belonging on campus.
The second main function of the Peer Mentors is that they serve as sources of information, comfort, and advice during the school year for the students in their advising groups. In short, they serve as mentors. This role requires that the Peer Mentors reach out consistently to the students in their advising group. In doing so, a Peer Mentor in the course of the year will host small social gatherings, meet individually or in small groups with their mentees, work with the First Year Advisors to foster community, and communicate concerns about individual students to the First Year Advisors. Ideally, first year students will see their Peer Mentor as a person they can approach when they have questions about campus life, desire advice about their academic choices, or need someone dependable to talk with.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson has won his second Daytona 500, racing past defending NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski on the final restart, while Danica Patrick finished eighth.
Johnson wasn't challenged over the final six laps Sunday, adding another 500 title to go with his 2006 victory.
This time crew chief Chad Knaus can enjoy it — he was suspended by NASCAR for the first victory.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a late move to finish second, but didn't challenge his Hendrick Motorsports teammate for the victory. Mark Martin was third.
Patrick was third on the final lap, but faded in the flurry of late action. She became the first woman in history to lead laps in the Daytona 500, though, with her three laps out front.
The season opened less than 24 hours after at least 33 people were injured when a car flew into the fence during a NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway, sending a tire and large pieces of debris sailing into the stands.
The final-lap accident Saturday marred the second-tier Nationwide Series race on the eve of a spectacle often called the Super Bowl of motorsports. Late into the night, track workers were scrambling to repair a huge section of fence that separates fans from the high-speed track.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report is data on how regional malware infection rates change over time. This data helps us and our customers understand the tactics and strategies that attackers are using to compromise systems, steal identities and confidential data. Subsequently this intelligence helps our customers optimize their defenses.

Before I go any further, I want to assure you that this is a legitimate Microsoft blog, and that I genuinely work for the company.
If you've received an unsolicited phone call from someone claiming association with Microsoft and offering technical support, or help with a security problem you didn't know you had, I wouldn't blame you for doubting me.
Unfortunately, in today's day and age, a little suspicion is a good thing because increasingly devious, determined and resourceful criminals want to steal from you. Cash is what they really want, but personal information they can exploit for financial gain – that'll do nicely, too, thank you.

We might not be able to predict the unknown, but we can do our best to be prepared for it. For organizations of all sizes contingency planning is vital to success. To this end, my Microsoft colleague, Cindy Bates, vice president, U.S. SMB Organization, recently shared a set of helpful resources on the subject of disaster preparedness.
This e-guide helps cut through the clutter by pointing out the key factors for organizations to consider when building business contingency plans. There's no one disaster preparedness plan that works for all organizations, but elements such as environment mapping, data backup options and communication methods are integral parts of any successful plan.

Cloud computing has quickly become a mainstream technology. Global businesses, entrepreneurs and government agencies are embracing the cloud to accelerate innovation and cut costs.
But the continued growth of cloud computing is not inevitable. Cloud providers need to adequately address the data protection and security concerns of enterprise customers and regulators for cloud services to earn the trust necessary to fulfill their potential benefits for businesses and governments.
Posted by: Richard Saunders, Director, Trustworthy Computing Communications
Since we started this blog, you've seen us highlight the trustworthiness of Microsoft's cloud offerings and our commitment to the cloud as a secure and sustainable computing model.
But it's always useful to have another's perspective, so you may want to check out Nick Hoover's/InformationWeek recent writing on cloud security. Over the last few weeks Nick has sought the opinions of a number of security industryleaders. In a story from this past Monday, "Cloud Security: Better Than We Think?," Nick tied his recent work together.
In my last blog post, I mentioned Ernst & Young's 14th annual Global Information Security Survey. One very interesting aspect of this survey is related to the use of mobile computing platforms.
The report states, "our survey shows that the adoption of tablets and smartphones ranked second-highest on the list of technology challenges perceived as most significant, with more than half of respondents listing it as a difficult or very difficult challenge."
A big part of my job at Microsoft is talking to CISOs, CSOs, as well as VPs and directors about the security of their organization's assets, including intellectual property and confidential data. Recently I had the opportunity to talk to a group of them about cloud computing.
There were a number of similarities between the concerns they raised and some of the findings I see reported in various industry surveys, such as Ernst & Young's 14th annual Global Information Security Survey.
For example, in the report from Ernst & Young it states "61% [of survey respondents] are currently using, evaluating or planning to use cloud computing-based services within the next year." I can believe that because all the people I talked to recently have either migrated some applications to the cloud or were evaluating doing so in the near term.
I was in London recently to deliver a keynote at the RSA Conference Europe. I spoke about many of the cloud topics I'm passionate about. Things such as balancing risk and potential when considering the cloud and how the cloud can make security updating more cost efficient for organizations. I also announced the findings of the latest version of Microsoft's Security Intelligence Report.
Tying these themes together, the underlying point to my keynote was that trust has been the constant imperative throughout history for a technology or radical idea to reach its true potential. The examples I gave were Copernicus's heliocentric model for the universe, the camera and the telephone.
To see what I mean, please check out my presentation below and share your thoughts on trust and technology.
I recently visited Brussels, where the European Union has its main base of operations. I visit customers and partners regularly as I get out and about discussing Security Intelligence Report findings.
The most recent volume of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report, volume 11, which covers the first half of 2011, includes deep dive regional threat assessments on every member state in the EU as well as many other locations. The regional assessments on EU member states provide insight into how many systems were infected with malicious software in each location, what the most prevalent malicious software threats were and the relative concentration of botnets (collections of compromised systems controlled by criminals) used to send spam in each location. We compare trends in different locations without skewing the results because of the differences in populations or computer install bases. This type of data can be useful to EU policymakers by helping to identify the specific security challenges that governments are currently facing, and whether they share common issues that might be tackled through collaboration between member states.
The more I read and speak with people, the more apparent it becomes that cloud solutions are gaining momentum. It's exciting to see the new cloud offerings joining the cadre of interesting and available solutions.
The potential value is often articulated in economic terms, such as the cloud will save organizations money. Coming at this from a security point of view, there's definitely the potential for budget savings or personnel efficiencies in this area. Organizations can free up resources in their IT departments by essentially outsourcing security updates to the cloud provider, as those will occur through the provider's management of the online service. While security experts professionally oversee your security updates, IT staff utilization can shift to other priorities. And smaller organizations, like a doctor's office, often have the office manager tasked with managing IT, including the management of security updates, back-ups, etc. By relying on a cloud provider to manage functions like updating, the office manager's time can be re-vectored to patient scheduling and service tasks. This is where I see the cloud not only as a notable technological advancement, but as a business model with clear economic and resource management advantages.

Welterweights Stephen Thompson (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Nah-Shon Burrell (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) round out the Facebook portion of the UFC 160 preliminary card. Burrell replaces the injured Amir Sadollah, marking the 2nd time in as many UFC fights that Burrell has been pressed into short notice duty.
Thompson earned a lot of hype after an exciting debut, but it has since disappeared given his ensuing loss plus over a year's worth of inactivity. The preliminary card starts on Facebook at 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT and continues on FX at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT.
How do these two stack up?
Burrell: 23 years old | 6'1" | 74" reach
Thompson: 30 years old | 6'0" | 75" reach
What have these two done recently?
Burrell: W - Yuri Villefort (UD) | L - Chris Spang (TKO) | W - James Terry (SD)
Thompson: L - Matt Brown (UD) | W - Dan Stittgen (KO) | W - Patrick Mandio (UD)
How did these two get here?
Burrell made it to the UFC with a 3-1 Strikeforce record (although his loss came by TKO in his final Strikeforce fight), and was pressed into short notice action against fellow Strikeforce WW Yuri Villefort at UFC 157. The contest was entertaining and Burrell won by unanimous decision. Now just a few months removed from the Villefort win, he takes on karate specialist Stephen Thompson. Technically, this is Burrell's UFC welterweight debut, as he came in way over the 171 lbs limit against Villefort, resulting in a change to a catchweight bout.
Thompson excited UFC fans with his head kick knockout of Dan Stittgen in his February 2012 debut. Two months later he was pitted (and favored) against veteran Matt Brown, but Brown absorbed Stephen's best shots and otherwise dominated Thompson en route to a unanimous decision victory. Thompson has been out of action for the past 13 months, with a fight against Besam Yousef scrapped due to injury.
Why should you care?
Much like Jeremy Stephens/Estevan Payan, these guys are strikers and we could have fireworks.

Bolted anchor.
Good route to start on at Sesame Street. Crux is a little thin and all about your feet with several ways to do it. If you're solid on 5.7 should be no problem to lead. Done with Marc Rosenthal, Mary Weeks. First Redpoint: Tom Beck I think.
was here 14/05/13 and big bird don't cry had a large hold break roughly 1/4 of the way up. just a reminder to be cautious on the rock as i'm not sure what kind of traffic it sees; otherwise, really fun routes!

Got some good seat time today, cultivated lettuce, beets, spinach, onions, potatoes, peas, beans, in the large garden.
The small garden near the house has tomatoes, peppers, squash, cukes, watermelon.
These are on 40 inch rows also and did cultivate with cub but now too big to get the cub in.

The first thing that makes this song bearable is the fact that one of the girls from 2NE1 has a gorgeous voice for someone in a girl group - take that Hyoyeon of SNSD(she's the one who dances..)! She really gives the song and the band another dimension - she sings lead during the chorus. Here's a live performance of a Big Bang song and I'm pretty sure there's no processing here - it's on a radio show! The girl I'm talking about is on the far left and is the first one who actually sings.Believe it or not, when the guys from Big Bang actually sing notes they get some of the most brilliant melodies. If they rapped a lot less and added verses with actual melodies they'd probably be one of my favorite boybands - there are some songs on their album with minimal rap and they're divine. Seriously, it's such a relief to only have one line of rapping on a Big Bang song. And may I say that Daesung(guy in the neon orange vest top who sings the last line of the middle 8 of Lollipop) has an amazing voice.
Same goes for this song - the middle 8 is probably the best I've heard on a song with rap.
Moving on. While reading up on Big Bang history and getting familiar with the members, I came across something so brilliantly amazing that I can't keep it unwritten and un-raved about. BIG BANG WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS. Never in the few weeks that I've been endlessly YT-hopping have I seen a boyband/girl group who write their own songs. I guess I just found it. And the fans seem to really like the songs I assume - why are they so big in Korea? That's another thing these American and British record companies should learn from the Koreans - LET BOYBANDS WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS. Is that so hard to do? NO! Because if it was, why can Big Bang do it and still be so effin' famous? Heck, even Lee Hyori adores the guys(random, much?).
I don't know if they wrote this song but heck, if they write even 40% of their material I'm happy - things like this don't happen everyday.
4/5. The rap still weighed everything down I'm afraid.
Note for my friend(Aljibe, ikaw kausap ko - alam kong binabasa mo 'to.) who I told that it's just a matter of time before I got into 2NE1 - Ayan ha, adik na yung kausap mo nung Friday. I publicly admitted to all my friends and readers that I think super ganda ng boses ni Park Bom. Masaya ka na? Sabihin mo na rin kay Pauline - maloloka yung babae.
Sorry about that, I just HAD to put that it.

text: Embarkation was quick and smooth and we were in our cabins unpacking our luggage within one hour of boarding. The ships decor was nice but not one of their most attractive designs, a little blah, compared to their other ships. Naples- When we arrived in Naples we were once again met by Driver in Rome and we had the most amazing Day. We were shown breathtaking views of The Amalfi Coast on our way to Positano, which was an incredible little place to visit. After visiting Positano, our guide made arrangements for us to have lunch with a view. We ate at Ristorante da Costantino, overlooking the beautiful town of Positano, the view was from a postcard. The food was served family-style, and absolutely delicious. With a complete meal, including appetizers, salad, main course, dessert, wine and lemoncelli, we paid $25 euros per person. We also visited Pompeii before going back to the ship. Croatia- What a beautiful surprise. This was one of our favorite ports. The walled city of Dubrovnik was tourist friendly, and consisted of lots of narrow streets and alleys to explore, with absolutely no cars. We sampled many of the specialties at the open air market, we even found a narrow passage that led us to a beautiful little swimming area. We used the shuttle from the ship and it was convenient and inexpensive. Venice- We did on our own, walked in and took a water taxi back to the ship. We walked to St. Mark's Square and we were so glad we did, because we saw so much on our way there. We had dinner at a little sidewalk cafe before taking the water taxi back to the ship.

Teams should be skating, pucks should be flying and fans should be cheering with a splash of paint on their faces, but not this season. For those who do not follow hockey, the National Hockey League (NHL) is suffering through a lockout. The main reason, of course, is money. The players want more while the owners want salary caps, which would lead to a pay cut in players' salaries. The owners feel a salary cap is the only way for small-market teams to survive.
Most players in the NHL are headed to Europe to play. About 250 players have joined European teams since September (when their collective bargaining agreement expired), though they're signing deals that would allow them to rejoin their teams if the lockout ends.
The lockout is not only affecting players but also employees and arenas. NHL games account for half of some arenas' events. With the lockout in place, employees at the arenas are at risk of being laid off and have seen cuts in their paychecks. They shouldn't be expecting games to resume this season, though, since the players are standing firmly on their decision not to have a salary cap.
I think the players are wrong. They have to realize they cannot get paid as much as other professional athletes because hockey does not have the fan base or the media coverage. There is no reason for owners to pay millions for players, since they already get paid enough as it is. Players should start accepting this and realize that the fans are more important than the money. I hope the lockout will end soon so we can get back to watching "the fastest game on ice."

Public pools fill up in the summer when temperatures rise and the sun beats down.But recent findings by the Centers for Disease Control suggests swimming is a little too dirty for comfort.The CDC reports that 58 percent of sampled public pool filters tested positive for E. coli, an indicator of fecal matter.According to the study, swimmers need to follow some basic protocols to reduce those numbers. This includes bathing before swimming and refraining from swimming when experience diarrhea. Sanitarian Bill Nestor said the reports by the CDC are shocking, but shouldn't scare people away from public pools in Harrison County.Nestor said the pools in Harrison County are tested weekly by the Health Department and multiple times daily by the pools themselves.
While those numbers suggest more than half of public pools are carrying fecal matter, Nestor said proper cleaning and testing would bring those numbers closer to zero. "Workers aren't taking care of the issue by cleaning filtration and skimmers properly. They should be doing that consistently and if they are, they shouldn't have a problem," said Bill Nestor, sanitarian.
Nestor said chemicals like chlorine are a "kill-all" and if the levels are where they should be, bacteria should essentially be nonexistent. The Clarksburg Splash Zone Aquatic Center opened up for the season a few weeks ago. It opened up with a brand new filtration system and testing techniques. Clarksburg City Parks and Recreation superintendent John Cooper said the Clarksburg pool is tested at least three times daily.
The city invested in a Water Quality Controller that constantly reads and reports pH levels and chlorine levels. He said the machine is more accurate and reliable than the more traditional method of simply dumping chemicals into the pool by hand."If you hand feed there's more than likely you are going to overfeed, that can cause other issues," said John Cooper, Clarksburg City Parks.The pool in Clarksburg is constantly running through a filter system and the filter itself is cleaned weekly through back flow. The pool filters the baby pool more frequently, as it tends to deplete of chlorine levels more rapidly, and has a higher "accident" risk factor.
Nestor encouraged swimmers to use bathing oils and sunscreens sparingly, as this can cause chlorine levels to drop in the pool.
Cooper said the pool in Clarksburg also requires children who aren't potty-trained to wear waterproof diapers, to prevent any accidents from getting into the pool.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Corey Perry scored three goals for his fifth career hat trick -- and second against Columbus this season -- to lead the surging Anaheim Ducks past the Blue Jackets 5-3 on Sunday night.
Bobby Ryan had a goal and an assist, and Ryan Getzlaf added three assists for the Ducks. Jason Blake also scored for Anaheim, which was playing the second game of a season-long, eight-game road trip.
The 41-year-old Teemu Selanne, who leads Anaheim in points in his 20th season, picked up an assist to tie Brett Hull for 21st on the NHL's career list with 1,391 points.
Fedor Tyutin had a goal and an assist, and Aaron Johnson and Antoine Vermette also scored for the last-place Blue Jackets, who had won three of four but were mostly sloppy in the second of back-to-back games.

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - Extra police officers will be patrolling Nassau County roads to spot and stop drunk drivers on New Year's Eve.
County Executive Edward Mangano says police will be targeting drunk drivers to stop senseless alcohol-related accidents during one of the busiest party days of the year.
He warned: "If you drive drunk at any point over New Year's Eve, you will be arrested."
The increased patrols are part of the county's "STOP DWI" initiative. It's funded by DWI fines.
Last New Year's Eve, 47 people were arrested for DWI in Nassau County.

MicroD celebrates 20th with new, larger offices
January 23, 2013-- Furniture Today,
MicroD's Manoj Nigam, left, Mona Nigam, Mary Martell and Ron Martell, along with Hickory Mayor Rudy Wright, cut the ribbon at the company's new 7,800-square-foot headquarters in Hickory, N.C.
Civic and industry leaders were on hand for a ribbon- cutting ceremony at the 7,800-square-foot facility at 1985 Tate Blvd., down the street from where the company got its start.
MicroD opened in Hickory, N.C., in 1993 with four people on staff and less than 1,000 square feet of office space. Now with nearly 60 employees, its Hickory office continues to serve as the base for many of its product development, sales, customer support, and digital catalog creation services.
The company also fields a global staff of nearly 100, with additional offices in Charlotte, N.C., India and the Czech Republic.
"We are grateful to our customers and colleagues that have enabled these 20 years of growth," MicroD CEO and President Manoj Nigam said in a release.
"We have proudly maintained an exclusive focus on the home furnishings industry," he said, adding that the company continues to invest, innovate and expand "in response to strong demand for the latest tools and technologies."
MicroD said it has more than 85% of the Top 100 furniture stores and more than 650 vendors using its products.
In its early days, the company pioneered the use of computers for desktop product presentations. As the Internet gained popularity, MicroD was the first to bring furniture presentation online with its ePreVue solution, according to a release.
In 2000, it launched its Internet- based technology that allows computer-generated draping of upholstery fabrics on frames for visual merchandising and customization applications.
After merging with business- to-business software and services company Exim Technologies in 2003, the company made a commitment to develop for the Web, resulting in the integration of electronic data interchange and advancements in online furniture merchandising tools.
In 2009, MicroD unveiled its ePiphany platform, billed as the first fully integrated merchandising and marketing solution with product presentation, room planning, website development and hosting, and ecommerce capabilities.
Nigam said combining MicroD's draping and presentation tools with Exim's business- to-business transaction capabilities "gave the industry the tools to needed to truly embrace customers on the Internet."
He added that in addition to continuously improving its ecommerce tools, MicroD is working on mobile and 3D presentation technologies that allow its customers to stay ahead of consumers and their growing "expectations for a faster and more engaging experience."
He said all ePiphany websites are now mobile-optimized so consumers can shop from their smartphones. After launching its iPreVue App last year, MicroD is continuing to work to make more presentation and sales tools available for mobile devices such as iPads.
"Over our history, we have seen tremendous change in consumer expectations to what now mandates faster and more convenient interaction than ever before," Nigam said. "In order to keep our customers ahead of the curve, we believe that we must address these issues at once because they are all needed to thrive in today's multichannel business environment."

The latest event for event organisers extraordinaire Freeze sees them relocate from listed buildings and historically significant locations to something grounded instead in the heritage of British dance music; the Warehouse. They are bringing Bedrock to the city, John Digweed's and Nick Muir's iconic record label, demonstrated by an extended set from Digweed himself, alongside a smattering of the label's freshest talent.
Bedrock kicked off in the final days of the last century and has since gone on to record many successful productions and promotions. It's incorporated music from techno stalwarts such as Marco Bailey, Christian Smith and Slam, house aficionados Guy J, Pig & Dan and Tom Middleton, and been the home of John and Nick's timeless productions tracks like 'Heaven Scent' and 'For What You Dream of'. During that period it's been established as one of the leading standard callers for dance music, encompassing the full spectrum of Digweed's musical tastes.
John himself is currently in peerless form, recently releasing a four disc mix collection of a live recording made in London to widespread acclaim. His 'Transitions' radio show has 14 million worldwide listeners and he has a touring schedule few other DJs can match. Here he will be in command for five hours, honing his sound across the full spectrum of his range. Freeze resident and 3B Records titan Jemmy, fresh off his recent Bedrock release 'Quarry Bank' which features on the aforementioned compilation, supports for what will be a truly special voyage throughout the finer edges of dance music.
Local upstarts Waxxx will be hosting Room Two, providing the eclectic mix they have become known for, with everything from bass music to off kilter funk, disco to house, all likely to be heard. A DJ set from indie party starters the Friendly Fires is the headline, fresh off their recent successful 'Late Night Tales' compilation. That included a magnificent cover of 'Why don't you answer'; Sting's little know collaboration with classical composer Eberhard Schroener, and showcased the groups wide ranging music tastes dancefloor rocking sensibility.
Liverpool legend Greg Wilson is also in tow, his signature sound of house and disco with a pop twist recognised as one of the most unique and heart-warming in dance music. There's also a coup in the shape of a stint from Merc Music boss Mark E. Mark is a man fully 'in the zone' after redefining his style, moving from looped disco edits to widescreen house, techno and neo-rave. Strong local support comes in the shape of mUmU resident Adele Moss (whose recent gigs include Fabric & the WHP), Thomas Tuft of Juice FM and Waxxx and Disctoeca Poca stalwart Mr Paul.
