My favorite place to eat after work. Fabulous seasonal menu's, the specials are always special (the last time we went they had the most delicious Mozambique prawns) and the atmosphere is very spanish. No bookings, but you can order small plates and wine while you wait at the small bar. Spanish waiters and a traditional spanish menu made me feel as though i was back in Madrid without having to leave London – shame about the weather!

Asked who was working the hardest for Sampson, Jones said, "I'd have to say St. John's, Arizona, Texas A&M and LSU." Once St. John's loses D'Angelo Harrison, Jamal Branch, Phil Greene and likely Rysheed Jordan, there will be plenty of available playing time in the backcourt. "I think they have a real chance," Jones said. "One thing that's important to Brandon is going somewhere where he's the guy. He's not really interested in going anywhere where he's a piece or whatever. He wants to go somewhere where he's going to have a chance to be the guy. "St. JOhn's could be one of those situations, as is A&M.

Because of a difficult family upbringing in the Dominican Republic which included financial hardship, Sanchez, 24, graduated from high school at an advanced age. He received his associate degree from Monroe College but the NCAA needs documentation that he experienced "financial hardship beyond an individual's control" to clear him.

Jackson, who averaged 4.9 points last season and was expected to start for Steve Prohm and the Racers this season, pleaded guilty and received a 30-day sentence.

PLATTSBURGH — The 2013 United Way of the Adirondack Region fundraising campaign is starting off 18.5 percent of the way to its $775,000 goal.
Pacesetter contributions announced at the annual Campaign Kickoff Breakfast on Friday totaled $143,412. United Way of the Adirondack Region Executive Director John Bernardi said that was an impressive number.
"Pacesetters are really important — 18.7 percent is really good for September," he said.
Bernardi welcomed 2013 Campaign Chair Gayle Alexander of Denton Publications.
"As usual, during my time here, I'm blessed with another wonderful chairperson," he said.
Alexander said it is important for business and community leaders to spread the word about what the agency does for the community and its 41 partner agencies
"As you move out into the community, we need to make sure the United Way is on everybody's lips," she said.
Bernardi said the United Way of the Adirondack Region and its partner agencies help about 80,000 people throughout the region each year.
"In these times, we cannot rely on government to meet all these needs," he said.
Rod Giltz of Northern Insuring said that when he returned to the region 50 years ago to start his career, his father stressed the importance of giving back to the community. He said it is crucial for businesses to make sure employees know how important the United Way is, especially since the annual campaign is employee based.
"We are the disciples. We can go out and sell that to the community," he said.
Media Central once again produced the video that promotes the campaign and its theme this year, "Follow the Dollar."
"When you follow the dollar, you can really see the impact it makes on our friends and neighbors," Bernardi said in the video.
Tim Boshart, operations manager at Georgia-Pacific, said the company and its employees genuinely enjoy helping people.

Richard Henry Garrett on the death of Booth
June 21, 2012, 01:51:20 AM »
Here's an eyewitness account of Booth's death that I don't believe has been reprinted since it first appeared:
An Authentic History of the Capture of J. Wilkes Booth, at the Garrett Farm, in Caroline County, Va., ALEXANDRIA (VA) GAZETTE, April 29, 1868.
We copy from the Fredericksburg Herald the following account written and signed by Mr. Richard H. Garrett, of Caroline:
On or about the 20th day of April, 1865, a report was brought to our neighborhood from Richmond, that President Lincoln had been shot and killed in a theatre in Washington city, by an actor who was supposed to be Booth, but no circumstances attending the murder were stated. On the 23d of April, I heard the report confirmed by a gentleman from our section who had been to Richmond, and he stated that it was reported in Richmond that Mr. Seward and Vice President Johnson had also been killed. On the 24th day or April, about 4 oclock, p. m., three men rode up to the edge of my yard. I went out to them and they were all strangers to me. The one that was in front introduced himself to me as Captain Jett. He then introduced the two men to me, the one as Lieutenant Ruggles, and the other as his friend Mr. Boyd. He stated that Mr. Boyd was a Confederate soldier, who had belonged to General A. P. Hills corps, that he was badly wounded in the leg, below Petersburg, a few days before the surrender of our army, that he and Lieutenant Ruggles were going on a little scout towards Richmond to see how matters were getting on, and that his friend Boyd was suffering so much from his wound, that he could not accompany them on horseback, and that he would thank me to take care of him until Wednesday morning, at which time they would call for him. As it had always been one of the principles of my religion to entertain strangers, especially any in distress, I at once consented and promised I would do the best I could for him. I found when he alighted from the horse he was on crutches, and could not put one of his legs to the ground. He went with me to my house and Jett and Ruggles rode off, leading the horse on which Boyd had ridden when he came. They went towards Bowling Green, and I saw no more of them. Boyd took supper with my family and slept that night in an upper room in which my two sons, John M. and Willie H., and two of my children slept.
My son John M. was in the house, up stairs, when the three men were at my yard; he came to the window and saw them, but was not near enough to hear any of the conversation that transpired between Jett and me, nor did he know either of the men, never having seen them before. Some time after breakfast, on Tuesday, my son John M. rode to a shoe-makers, Mr. Acors, about one and a half miles from my house, to get his shoes mended, and remained away about two hours; while there, Mr. E. Gravatt, the owner of the place on which Mr. Acors resided, came in, and he had by some means, obtained a Richmond newspaper, and in this paper it was stated that a reward of $150,000 had been offered for the arrest of the murderer of President Lincoln. At dinner, after his return, he stated that he had seen this paper and the statement about the reward. The man Boyd looked at him, and said he should not have been surprised if a reward of $500,000 had been offered, but that he had heard a day or so before that the murderer had been arrested between Baltimore and Philadelphia. I asked him if he had ever seen Booth, the reported murdered, and if he was an elderly man? He said he had seen him once in Richmond, about the time of the John Brown raid, and that he thought he was rather a young man. I thought at the time the murdered was Mr. Edwin Booth, never having heard of any other Booth, as an actor. I was not much with the man during the day, as I was attending to my laborers; he seemed to be restless, and my family informed me that he spent the great part of the day in reclining on the grass in the front yard. After I got my dinner, I went to where my laborers were at work, and some time after, two men on horseback, with a third man riding behind one of the others, got down and came to the house. The other two rode off towards Port Royal. When this man came to the house, the man that was here introduced this one to my son John M. as his cousin Boyd. The man that came asked my son to let him spend the night. My son told him his father was no at the house, and he was not in the habit of granting permission to persons to remain at night, and rather objected. The man seemed to be anxious to remain, and said he would wait until his father came to the h house. These two men then walked together some 150 yards in front of the house, and seemed to be in earnest conversation for some fifteen minutes, when they returned to the yard. About this time the two men that had ridden to Port Royal came back, riding very fast, and said to the two men that were here, Yankee Calvary (sic) are crossing at Port Royal, and you must take care of yourselves the best way you can; and then rode off again rapidly towards Port Royal. My son recognized one of these men as being one of the men that came to my house the evening before with Boyd.The men that were here seemed to be very much excited as I was informed by my family, and Boyd demanded of my son John M., to go (sic) the room in which he had slept and bring him his pistols, which he did; the other man had brought with him a carbine. My son said to them, that he thought it very probably that this calvary (sic) were in pursuit of them, and if they had done anything to cause pursuit, they must leave here at once, as they would not only endanger themselves, but us also; they said they had done nothing to cause pursuit, but would leave the yard. About this time, one of my children came to where I was at work and told me that Yankee calvary (sic) were crossing at Port Royal. I immediately started to the house, and getting near to it, I saw two men going from the house towards the woods, the foremost one I recognized s Boyd; he was one hundred yards in advance of the other. Soon after I got to the house, the latter man returned to the yard. I told him I did not wish him to remain there; that he would endanger us as well (sic) himself; the cavalry (sic) were in pursuit of them. He said he had heard that several horses belonging to the Federal soldiers had been stolen the night before at The Trap, a place between this and Bowling Green, and the expected these were cavalry sent from Fredericksburg to endeavor to get the horses and arrest the thieves. He started again towards the woods, but about this time the Cavalry passed my house on the road to Bowling Green, and then this man went to the woods and brought Boyd back to the house. They seemed to be restless and uneasy, and expressed a great desire to get a conveyance to Orange C. H., as they said that they heard there were a good many Marylanders there going to Johnsons army in the South, and they wished to get with them.They asked my son if he knew of any conveyance they could get. He told them there was a colored man that lived a short distance frome (sic) thee that had a conveyance he sometimes hired out. They requested him to go and see him, and try to get his to carry them to Guineys Depot that night. He went, but the man was not at home. When he returned they said they would like to get horses, and one of them remarked I would like to have the horse I saw you riding this evening. He then told them he reckoned he would have to carry them, but not do it before the morning. They agreed with him to pay him ten dollars to take them to Guineys Depot next morning. Then, about 8 oclock, went with my family to supper, (we supped in an out-house), and after supper I being unwell, went immediately to my bedroom, and they with my sons, took seats on my front porch. After remaining some time, they proposed going to bed. My son John H. objected to their sleeping in my dwelling house; they then said they would sleep under my porch; he told them we had very bad dogs and they would probably attack them during the night; he told them we had a tobacco house that had and fodder in it, they said they would then go and sleep in that. He carried them to it, opened the door and they went in; he then came to the house, but becoming uneasy for fear these men might get up in the night and take our horses and go off, he and his brother concluded that they would take their blankets and go and sleep in a corn house that was between the tobacco house and stable, and guard their horses; but fearing these men might get up and endeavor to get the horses, and as they were heavily armed, they might have some difficulty with them, they concluded they would lock the tobacco house outside and keep them in until the morning. They went into the corn house to sleep.
About 2 oclock, A. M., I was aroused by my dogs barking very fiercely. I got up, went to my window, and saw that my house was surrounded by cavalry. I immediately drew on my pantaloons, and without putting on the balance of my clothes, I opened my end door to my close porch, and when I did so, three men rushed in, one of whom presented a pistol at my breast and asked me if there were not two men in my house. I told them there were not; he then said unless you tell us the truth, you will be a dead man in a minute. I told them these men were here in the evening bout the time they passed the road, but went to the woods and afterwards came back and got their suppers, but that I did not know then were they were. One of the men called to one that was in the yard, to hand in a rope, that they would hand me, as I was not telling them the truth.
About this time my son John M. came in at the door and said, Pa, these soldiers are in pursuit of the two men that were here; we had better tell them where they are. One of the officers said who are you and where did you come from. He told him that he belonged to the place. The officer ordered him at once to say no more, but go and show them the house in which these men were, upon peril of his life. They then put me under guard at my door and kept me there until after the man Boyd was shot. They surrounded the tobacco house, and the officer in command (Col. Conger) made my son open the door and go in the house and demand the arms of the two men, and their surrender. He told Colonel Conger that he was afraid to go in, but he threatened him unless he did, he would shoot him; he then went in and said, Mr. Boyd there is a force of fifty men around this house who demand your arms and your surrender. He ordered my son away and seemed to be in the act of drawing pistol, and he ran out. One of the officers then demanded their arms and surrender, and said he would give them five minutes to determine, and if they did not do it, the house would be fired. Boyd, alias Booth, then said, captain, give me a chance, withdraw your men fifty yards from the house, and I will come out, but dont burn the mans house, he is innocent, he knows not who I am. Col. Conger then ordered my son to pile brush outside of the house for the purpose of firing it, and while doing so, Boyd, alias Booth, came near the place and said, young man you had better not come here again, for you will be in danger. Soon after this the house was fired, and then through one of the spaces between the planks, one of the officers (Sergeant Corbitt {sic}) shot Booth. He was gotten out of the house directly, and brought to my dwelling and laid on a mattress in my front porch, and died about 7 oclock. His corpse was taken soon after by the Cavalry in a cart and carried to a landing on the Potomac river, and from thence to Washington city. Herold, the other man, surrendered, and was also taken by the soldiers to Washington. After Booth was shot, William Jett, (who the officers had arrested at Bowling Green) was brought to my house, and my son John M. and I both, had conversation with him, and told him that he ought to tell the officers all about his bringing Booth to my house, and of our knowing nothing of who he was. He said he had told them all about it, and that they knew we were innocent as to any knowledge of the identity of the man. This was the first time my son had ever spoken to Jett. Col. Conger said he would either have to take me or my son to Washington, and he supposed I had better go, as the boys could do more labor than I could at home; but upon the representation of my bad health, he concluded to take them. They were carried to Washington and put in prison in close confinement and kept there for two weeks, after which they were taken out of prison, but kept in Washington two weeks longer, before they were allowed to come home.

Very interesting article. I have always wondered if the Garrett's knew who they were really entertaining at their house those few days in April of 1865.

I've wondered that too, Craig. I suspect old man Garrett knew.

The mission of the WHO Nigeria Country Office is to promote the attainment of the highest sustainable level of health by all people living in Nigeria through collaboration with the government and other partners in health development and the provision of technical and logistic support to country programmes.
Nigeria became a member of the World Health Organization in 1960 and signed the Basic Agreement in 1962. Over the last four decades therefore, WHO has worked in close collaboration with the Nigerian government, mainly with the Federal Ministry of Health, to establish a wide array of collaborative programmes.
The main WHO Country Office is located in the United Nations House, Abuja the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In addition, a network of offices has been established in each of the 36 states of the country and the FCT, to provide appropriate and accessible technical support to States and Local Government Areas (LGAs). This has improved collaboration with stakeholders and partners as well as the visibility of WHO at those levels.
The immediate feedback from the just concluded 27th Expert Review Committee (ERC) on Polio and Routine Immunization in Nigeria has revealed that the country ' is on the verge of making history by eradicating polio, the entire nation must be made aware, rallied and mobilized to capitalize on this unique window of opportunity'.
Dr. Hamid Jafari, the WHO Director of Polio, who presented the preliminary findings of the ERC after the 2-day intensive meetings and deliberations, conducted with stakeholders in Abuja from 23rd-24th April, 2014, posited that it 'is the most important ERC meeting to date because the hard work and dedication of the program have yielded a window of opportunity' not only for Nigeria but Africa and indeed the world.
Governors stave-off Polio importations in renewed commitment
In 2013, Nasarawa and Niger States in the North Central region of Nigeria commonly referred to as the 'Middle Belt', given their geographical location on the map, had importation of the wild polio virus (WPV) each from endemic states after several months of stopping transmission. Since then, political commitment in the area has been rekindled with relentless personal commitment of State governors to protect states in the axis from re-infection through high-profile activities to create visibility for the Polio Eradication Initiative.
To drive the position deeper, the Nasarawa state Governor, His Excellency Umaru Tanko Almakura, who made history as the first Governor since the creation of the State eighteen (18) years ago to Flag-Off April round of the National Immunization Plus Days (NIPDs), declared that this 'is a continuation of the fight against polio and control of other communicable diseases in the state'.
|Prominent ANTI-OPV cleric turns pro-immununization campaigner in Borno State
Polio supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) have been met with stiff resistance in 478 quranic (Tsangaya) schools in the security-compromised state of Borno due to an array of reasons which deduced Immunization as a western ploy to check the growth of muslim population and fear that non-compliant parents may withdraw their children from schools that allow immunization
To ameliorate the danger that the risk of continued non-compliance portends to the susceptible eligible children, the WHO team in Borno mapped-out and sensitized teachers from the identified schools with a view to inform them about immunization and benefits therein and, to the extent required, also explain the risks of disease which result from withholding immunization. Impressively, many hard-core non- compliant teachers were converted to the side of immunization and are now actively involved in mobilizing even the wider society to accept immunization.
|Journalists team up with WHO to create demand for Polio Immunization
The Journalists Initiative on Immunization against Polio (JAP) has strengthened collaboration with the WHO Kaduna state office to mobilize the support of religious and traditional leaders as well as other opinion moulders with the capacity to influence social decisions, in order to fight intractable non-compliance to polio immunization in very high risk Local Government Areas (LGAs).
Already, eleven (11) Town Hall meetings have been conducted by JAP with support from WHO in very high settlements who had recorded block rejection to immunization activities with the view to sensitize the communities between January and April 2014, to reverse the earlier resolution by some irate youths to disrupt immunization exercise, as a bargaining chip at their disposal, to demand for the provision of social amenities by government.
|Presidential summit on Universal Health coverage ends in Nigeria
His Excellency President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has declared at the opening of the Presidential Summit on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Abuja on Monday, 10th March, 2014 that for the Universal Health Coverage to be a reality in Nigeria, health Insurance must be a compulsory policy.
The President, who was represented at the historic event by the Vice President, Mohammed Namadi Sambo, tasked Nigerians to elevate the UHC into a National movement stating that "Nigeria is not where it ought to be in terms of UHC with other Nations in the same development bracket".
|Integrated Community Case Management
Malaria, Pneumonia and Diarrhea are still responsible for more than 50 percent of death among children under 5 years old in Nigeria. It is on record that majority of these children, particularly those living in hard to reach areas, die at home.
To address this unfortunate situation, WHO, UNICEF and partners are supporting the Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) of Pneumonia, diarrhea and Malaria in many countries whereby community health workers are appropriately trained, supervised and supported with an uninterrupted supply of medicines and equipment for the identification and correct treatment of children who present with acute respiratory Infection, diarrhea and Malaria.
|Presidential Summit on Universal Health Coverage Opens in Abuja
A 2-day pre-summit technical workshop for the preparation of the Presidential Summit on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) with the theme, 'Universal Health Coverage, The Vehicle for sustainable Growth and Development' has opened in Abuja.
Declaring the Workshop opened, the Honorable Minister of Health, Professor C.O Onyebuchi Chukwu, noted that the theme of the workshop captures government's belief in the centrality of a healthy population to the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan.
|Nigeria synchronizes polio immunization with Niger Republic during March 2014 round
Abuja, Nigeria 6th March, 2014 -- The synchronization of immunization activity which lasted from 1st to 4th March 2014 along border settlements between Nigeria and Republic of Niger has been concluded. The activity is widely adjudged as very successful. For instance, between Sokoto State in Nigeria and Tahoua Province in Republic of Niger, 15,137 under-five children were vaccinated on Nigeria side and 16,320 on the Republic of Niger side.
Cross-border synchronization activities remain the key to stopping poliovirus transmissions and importations between countries.

Derek Kellogg's crew pulled off a solid win over Boston College and will now turn its full attention towards the next test, a very talented LSU Tigers team.
"To get LSU at UMass, you can't turn those BCS-level games down," Kellogg said after the team's win over Boston College on Sunday. "All coaches would like to ease their way into the season, except for Coach [Steve] Donahue and myself, I guess. But I think with a senior-laden team and some older guys you can [schedule tough games early], but you have to be really careful in scheduling and know what's right for your program in that particular year."
The two-day turnaround could lead to some tired legs, but Kellogg expected to have a light day on Monday and hopefully a later shootaround on Tuesday, although with an 11:00 a.m. start time, that might be hard to accomplish.
Much like UMass caught BC two days after its opener, the Tigers will meet the Minutemen in their opener two days following UMass' first game. An experienced bunch, one can assume that UMass will acquit itself a little better than the Eagles did, but underestimating that quick turnaround so early in the season can be dangerous.
Meanwhile, LSU is coming off a 35-point win in an exhibition game and has generated enough interest around the country to garner a three votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll and eight votes in the AP Top 25. The freshman duo of Jordan Mickey and No. 11 overall prospect Jarell Martin has the Tigers' expectations much higher than normal. In their debut, Mickey stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, eight blocks and six rebounds while Martin scored 11 points.
The Tigers also feature two talented point guards who will likely split the duties right down the middle. Anthony Hickey and Tim Quarterman combined for seven points, six assists, five steals and just one turnover. Quarterman got the start and played 22 minutes while Hickey came off the bench for 19.
Andre Stringer was the game-high scorer in the Tigers' exhibition, scoring 22 points on 7-for-12 shooting in 28 minutes. Containing him will be a responsibility that falls to Derrick Gordon and there is little reason to believe he won't handle be able to handle Stringer.
Three Keys to the Game
- Point guard play will be huge. Chaz Williams is as solid as it comes at this position, but dealing with two players capable of playing the position at full speed will certainly make things difficult. When Williams need to rest, Trey Davis will need to have another solid game off the bench and Gordon will likely see some minutes as the primary ball handler.
- Cady Lalanne was a force against Boston College, but the Eagles' frontcourt was either in foul trouble or not up to the task of dealing with such a physical player. LSU will be quite different in this respect. Lalanne will need to have something close to a repeat performance (17 and 10 rebounds would be fine) for UMass to keep playing the way it wants to play.
- Raphiael Putney is a very, very uniquie player who can help this team when he is in the game. However, throughout his career his foul struggles have led to a severe dip in playing time. If this trend continues on Tuesday, Putney could see his spot in the starting lineup vanish. Probably for good this time.
Player of Interest
The Freshmen. Kellogg said (per Dan Malone) that he wanted to play some of the new guys against Boston College but the game was never at a point where he felt comfortable putting them in. Demetrius Dyson is expected to get the most run of the group and Zach Coleman isn't expected to play for a few weeks with an injury. That leaves Dyson, Seth Berger and Clydee Santee as the candidates and I would like to see each of them make a contribution to this game.
If UMass can play the way they played against BC -- physical, timely shooting, fast -- I think they can beat almost anyone in the country, including LSU. UMass wins, 80-75.

Why Web Standards?
As mentioned in our reasons why to choose us we touched briefly on web-standards. This is something I've felt needs a little more explaining, and it's worthwhile taking a read through this article if you are unsure what web standards are, or how they might apply to the design and development of your website.
Firstly what exactly are these web standards that we are talking about? Like many other fields of study, the web has governing bodies that put in place standards and specifications that designers and programmers should adhere to. The biggest of these governing bodies is the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).
Using web standards ensures that your website will look great on modern browsers and will still be functional on older browsers. Utilizing web standards has a number of advantages:
- Better support for new and old web browsers
- Improved accessibility to all browsers and to people with disabilities
- Decreased bandwidth and server space
- Better placement on search engines like Google
- Faster page loading
- Better separation of the user-interface (look and feel) from page content
- Lower maintenance costs
Unfortunately not all web design companies follow these standards, and very few consumers know that there are standards for such things in place. Make sure you ask the web design company you want to do business with if they use these standards.
Think of it this way, having a website is like getting a house built. You can either build it on a sound, inspected foundation – or you can built it without.
If you were getting a house built would you consider hiring a cheap contractor, getting some cheap drawings and having your house built on a backbone of cheap labour? In the world of construction this would likely involve the shortcutting of inspections and standards and the hiring of relatively inexperienced labour. The consequences of choosing this option might include high maintenance costs, perhaps a leaky roof, or some questionable or potentially dangerous electrical wiring.
The other option of course would be to hire the right people for the job, ensure that they follow the rules and standards set out by your city or the construction associations, and ensure that they employ quality workers, materials, and practices.
Similarly with a website you can certainly get it done on the cheap using inexperienced labour, but the consequence of not following web standards and accessibility guidelines is:
- Improperly structured code resulting in higher maintenance costs.
- Lower search engine results
- Slower page loading times
- A website that will not display properly on cell phones
- A statement that says the disabled cannot access your website
- Poor display or your website in older browsers, or in newer ones that are released every year
We urge everyone to consider finding a designer and developer who are willing to work from a basis of web standards. You can check if their past websites are standards friendly by:
- Visiting the W3C website validator
- Entering in their website address and hitting the "check" button.
- If the website fails by hundreds of errors it's really bad code, if it fails by only a few chances it's better, and if it passes it's ideal

They have an evening of desserts. Those little ones were at awe wondering which areas to hit.
This boat has cabanas at the top lido. They have the library and computer classes packed with people. You knew you were not on the party boat. More the academia crowd when you see photo, arts and classes and tech classes offered.
Great current movies in the theater with individual leather chairs. Free popcorn too.
Tamarind is all about services. Great food there.
Formal nights were wonderful. It brings back the days when elegance was around on the boats.
HA wants to please. They even have HA bags for their clients to use when they go ashore. They have a cold lemonade (free) for their clients when they return from an excursion. HA goes out of the way to make it a vacation and for you to relax and enjoy the ride. Love them!
The dining room was average in service. Our waiter was nothing like our Carnival or Princess waiter who was always there smiling. They work hard in bringing the food and clearing it. They need personality waiters as well. On NCL, there is a guy who will give you butter mints . He's the same guy who reminds you to clean your hands. No one is on the Nieuw Amsterdam some nights.
The dining room food was great and in small portions. Some are salty. You may have to remind them not to add salt your food if you don't like salty food.
The entertainment was great on the last night. The four male tenors were fabulous. They remind me of the Il Divos. Do not select the second dining. You will miss some of the entertainment with one showings.
Their ice cream variety at the lido deck eatery went downhill. They used to have a variety. They have only chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.
So sad to see them do away with the traditional Dutch hats night. They did not have it on this cruise.
On the last night, every one whips around their napkins in the air and the cooks come out in a parade in the dining room. Lots of fun.

By ERIK SCHELZIGAssociated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Governor Bill Haslam says he is still weighing the pros and cons of school vouchers, and plans to announce his position on the measure toward the end of the year.
The Republican governor told members of the Nashville Rotary Club on Monday that he understands the motivations for creating school vouchers for children in failing schools.
But he said he's also taking into account opposition by the school districts in the state's four largest cities and questions about whether private schools would pick up the tab for the balance of tuition not covered by the vouchers.
Haslam said he's also sensitive to arguments that the state has in the last two years undergone a series of sweeping changes in education, and that the introduction of school vouchers could confuse matters.

Tom Watson gave it a good run at the 2012 Masters, but came up just short down the stretch. Watson wasn't in contention, however -- he spent Friday battling against the cut line, hoping to make it to the weekend. And for much of the day, he was in a good spot, just on the right side of the projected cut, safe but not out of the woods. That is, until the 17th hole.
The cut will be no lower than 5-over, that much we know. It could move to 4-over if Miguel Angel Jimenez makes a run to end his round, taking sole possession of the lead in the process. But anyone in the clubhouse at 6-over or worse will be headed home.
And Watson is among those at 7-over, ending his hopes of playing in the weekend. After a bogey on 17, Watson found himself on the wrong side of the cut, but still had a chance to make it up on the difficult 18th. He left his approach right of the green however, needing to drain his pitch to survive.
The pitch never got close, ending Watson's tournament. He finished up with a bogey to end his day at 7-over. Still, it was one heck of a run for Watson, who is always fun to watch at The Masters.

Straw gold color, persistent coverage on the surface, intricate lacing all around the glass. Long lasting retention, bright clarity, and occasional visible carbonation.
Aroma is sweet and bready, a little skunky at first but it blows off quickly. Grassy noble hops and simple bready grains.
Flavor is much the same, bready malts are center stage, some light floral hops lend minimal bitterness. Light sweetness and pretty smooth, some cereal grains and florals in the dry aftertaste. Overall it's ok, not as rustic as expected for a Landbier, but certainly something there in the simplicity and nuance that's worthwhile.

Picked up a .5L swingtop at Euro Market. Certainly has that Dortmunder character with creamy, clean barley malt. This one's a little more crisp and dry bready grains. The beer is balanced through the finish and a tough light in body for the style, but you can just call it a more drinkable take on the export lager. It's winter now, but I imagine this would make a fine lawnmower beer.

A: The beer is clear yellow in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a finger and a half high dense white head that died down but never completely faded away and left lots of lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of bready malts, grassy hops and apples are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of bready malts along with bits of grain and notes of fruits—apples stand out in particular. A slight amount of bitterness is present.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. Only hints of dryness are perceptible in the finish.
O: This beer is easy to drink but lacks the dryness compared to other beers in the style. The fruitiness is also unusual for a lager.

This was a beer I acquired when I was unofficially dubbed a tester of a six pack shop. I am so-so on German beers over all. I did enjoy the lightness of the beer all around. It was a refreshing change. It was rather malty and smooth. It somewhat resembled the taste of Straub. It finished a bit on the earthy side, yet not overwhelmingly so.

I found this in my favorite Moscow beer kiosk (which I'd put in Beerfly except that they have no actual address - it's just a box on a street). Brown half liter bottle with a stubby neck, a swing top, and a gold and green label featuring a coat of arms above the name. Purity law applies, of course. Best before 4/6/06, I opened it on 3/11/06.
Pours a clear, quite deep gold under a firm 1.5 finger off-white head that fades to film and collar pretty quickly but leaves excellent lacing on the glass. The nose is full of floral hops - almost like sniffing a bouquet of flowers. The mouth is quite light and fairly prickly. Nice flavors here, although the malt is a bit subdued. The hops are strong, but far more flowery than bitter. The taste is not exactly sweet, but closer to spicey, with just a touch of espresso dryness, which redoubles its presence after the swallow. A very pleasant experience - I could be happy drinking this for quite a while.

This is a good example of what an export beer should look like. A nice crystal clear golden body, with ample amounts of bright white head. Lots of carbonation to eye as well.
The aroma is very faint, though. I can barely detect anything. Perhaps a little metallic fragrance.
The taste is pretty decent and typical. There is a good malty overtone, but well balanced with the hops. This I'd have to say, is a metallic taste.
Overall this is a good session beer, but nothing to rave about.

500ml Bügelflasche. Mindestens haltbar bis: 16.11.11.
It pours a clear gold with a foamy white head. It dissipates with some pretty nice lacing.
The smell is doughy and malty but also fruity and hoppy, it is a nice balance and a nice fresh scent.
The flavor isn't as good. It is slightly tart with some pretty mediocre malt flavors. The hops don't work either.

Pours golden with 1/2 finger head, downsliding patchy lacing. Aroma is sweetish bready malt, some herbal hops.
Taste is sweetish malt with pleasant herbal bitterness towards the finish, in the aftertaste spice can be felt. Mouthfeel is medium, average carbonation.
Very nice one, quite drinkable with pleasant dominating bitterness.

Never seen this in the US before. They didn't even bother to translate the text on the bottle. Interesting.
Rich pale gold. Tons of foam that doesn't dissipate.
Lager yeast and an even mix of sweet pale malt and hops on the nose. A weird sour note, too.
Sweet on the front end, husky in the middle, and slightly bitter noble hops on the back end. A hair of astringency, too.
Pretty good, not really special though. Maybe a case of a bottled version being a lesser example, too. It's dated within 6 months of bottling, so it isn't too old, though.
Worth a try but the bottled version isn't really worth hunting for.

Well the bottle says 'Landbier' but the closest I could describe it to under options was a Dortmunder. I think its right but Im not exactly positive.
The head pour by the bottle is incredibly dense and large. It leaves an impressive lace that really gets the taste buds flaired up. The color is a light transparent gold and the drinker can see the massive quantities of small bubbles dancing around. Shes a looker alright. Taste is intriguing at first but then just damn good. All flavors are light but a tangy bitterness really stands out. Creamy qualtities are noticeable in flavor and mouthfeel.

From: Beertopia, Omaha, NE
Date: "Best before 03/10/13"
Glass: Standard US pint glass
Leikeim has a solid, if not slightly light-tasting, Dortmunder lager with their Landbier, as it focuses on grainy and biscuit-like malt usage with grassy and bittering European hops. The aromas and flavors are quite nice, though perhaps a bit too subdued and subtle to make this really "wow" the drinker. Fresh on tap or in bottle, this is probably fantastic. In summary, this was an above average Dortmunder lager, but the $3.69 per bottle tag makes it less attractive for repeated purchase.
Aroma is a bit biscuit-like, with some barley grain and mild vinous esters as well. Hops are noticeable, though mild, a bit like freshly torn or cut wild grasses.
Front of palate is grainy and biscuit-like, transitioning to a smoother malt sweetness with white grape-like fruit esters and a noticeable touch of European hops for bittering and cut, sweet grass flavor. Back of palate finds the European hop bitterness overwhelming the mild grain and biscuit flavors (though they're still present), leading to an aftertaste that is smooth, sweet and grain-like (similar to grape nuts cereal) with lingering bitterness from the hop usage.
Beer is medium to medium-light in body, with carbonation levels of medium intensity. The result is a slightly fizzy mouthfeel at first, which quickly settles to become foamy and smooth. Closes fairly dry (though not totally), with significant stickiness across the palate.

Another Tack: Murdoch's cogent question
11/29/2012 22:40
Murdoch essentially wasn't far off the mark, even if he didn't word his Tweet carefully enough.
Rupert Murdoch Twitter account
Photo: REUTERS
Of course they care. Passionately. They are, if anything, political creatures. Did they not kick a god-awful fuss over news magnate Rupert Murdoch's stirring defense of Israel during the latest Gazan round?
Did they not let him have it? Is that apathy? Did they not rush to pillory Murdoch for asking on Twitter: "Why is Jewish owned press so consistently anti-Israel in every crisis?"
Wow, they came out punching! It wasn't the actual negligible matter of Israel's ongoing struggle which stirred them. Siding with Israel or welcoming Murdoch's warm support of Israel wasn't what aroused their emotions. Nor were they moved by the issue of anti-Israeli media bias. Far from it. This is just the sort of preoccupation that leaves them cold and consistently condescending.
But Murdoch, unawares, struck a raw nerve when he appeared to obliquely suggest the existence of Jewish-controlled media. Talk of Jewish control, potentially lending credence to canards about Jewish cabals, impacts directly on the standing of American Jews in American society. This, in contrast to Israel's dispensable self-preservation, is something that can sent them howling indignantly on the warpath.
And so, given American Jews hauled over the coals an ardent ally of Israel because of his insinuated criticism of the failure of some of them to stand by the Jewish state. Such is the Jewish spirit that permeates through some of Jewish America.
Poor Murdoch likely never suspected what his query would unleash and so great was the backlash that he soon deleted his offensive Tweet and apologized.
Nonetheless, Murdoch essentially wasn't far off the mark, even if he didn't word his Tweet carefully enough. The issue of outright individual ownership isn't as overriding nowadays as it once was because most of the media is held by publicly traded companies.
Yet there are media to which the overwhelmingly liberal American Jews gravitate and which they cultivate. Moreover, these are often also the same news outlets in which many Jews are active, be it in publishing, reporting or commentating. And they are the very ones that, as Murdoch asserted, tend to be "consistently anti-Israel in every crisis."
For them it's almost a badge of enlightenment not to give in to what Arthur Hays Sulzberger, publisher of
The New York Times
from 1935 to 1961, used to put down as "Parochial Jewish attitudes." Sulzberger himself was a scion to two eminent Jewish lines – one of German Ashkenazi ancestry and the other descended from America's Sephardi grandees.
His own descendents still run the
, but they are no longer Jewish. Yet for many of America's liberal Jews the Times remains an authority of near-biblical validity, through which they filter current events. The Times still depicts itself as "America's most important newspaper" and for most American Jews it is just that.
With that in mind, when scrutinizing the Times' record on Israel it's hard to disagree with Murdoch's disapproval of coverage that is "consistently anti-Israel in every crisis." We don't even have to focus on the big dramas of armed conflict. In my files is an entire Times broadsheet devoted exactly six years ago to a Peace Now contention that most of Israel's settlements in Judea and Samaria, including whole Jerusalem metropolitan area neighborhoods, were constructed on "usurped Arab private property."
rushed to amplify these claims, though they were hardly substantiated. It saw fit to uncritically play up Peace Now's allegations, not stinting on space and promotion. Inevitably it is hotly denied that such outrageous distortions of the criteria of newsworthiness are anti-Israel. Presumably both Peace Now and
The New York Times
know better than the majority of Israelis do what is best for Israel. And the
hypes its favorite Israelis of the Peace Now mold with the particular relish it reserves for knocking the Jewish national cause.
There's a compelling inbuilt logic here and it harks back to old-time predilections which anti-Zionist Jewish moguls and Zionist Jewish socialists incongruously shared. Historically the Times always favored less nationalist and more compromising Jews, the ones closer to the Sulzberger clan's own inclinations.
Concomitantly, Peace Now's ideological forbears were chillingly callous to the plight of existentially vulnerable Jews, even on the eve of their bleakest hours, as the Holocaust loomed and Jewish horizons darkened.
Regrettably, forgotten today is the most distressing episode in the annals of this country' Left – its campaign against "illegal" immigrants just prior to WWII, when the ground already burned under European Jewry's feet. The Left-dominated Jewish Agency was charged by the British Mandate with distributing the paltry number of "certificates" (immigration permits) allocated. The Agency apportioned these with unabashed discrimination, effectively barring "undesirables," i.e. political rivals.
Those determined not to be impeded by prejudice had to resort to various "illegal" options to reach these shores, including the exploitation of bogus student and tourist visas, as well as fictitious marriages to fortunate certificate-holders. All above "illegals" became prey in what would become known as the "hunt." British police conducted raids and the Left avidly collaborated with spot-checks on buses, cafes, lodgings and work-places.
While sparing no hyperbole to denounce the "illegals" for supposedly jeopardizing the entire Zionist undertaking, left-wingers edged towards identification with inimical Arab perceptions. It's a psychological process not far-removed from that of their progeny and torchbearers today, who increasingly subscribe to the enemy's point of view.
And just at that time, as well as during the subsequent most monstrously deliberate and systematic bloodletting the world has known, the assimilationist Jewish then-owners of the
engaged in an unconscionable cover-up and/or diminishment of the slaughter and of the identity of its victims.
It took a thick volume to scrutinize the
' sordid under-reporting and minimizing of the Holocaust. Journalist and academician Laurel Leff's exemplary 2005 book, Buried by the
, offered an engrossing examination of a great newspaper's abject moral failure, given its unparalleled opinion-molder distinction.
' coverage," Leff concludes her extraordinarily exhaustive analysis, "mattered because other bystanders... took cues from the
." Yet in the end "the
helped drown out the last cry from the abyss."
During all of WWII it saw fit to publish only two lead editorials on Jewish issues. One, on January 22, 1942, was an acerbic attack on demands for all-Jewish military units under British auspices (which were eventually created as the Jewish Brigade). While the extermination of Jews continued unabated, the Times' indignation was spent on preventing the formation of "a Zionist army."
In February 1942, the rickety illegal immigrant ship Struma sank after the British Mandatory authorities refused to let its refugees enter Eretz Yisrael. All but one of its 768 passengers perished after a cruel 75-day standoff in Istanbul harbor, where the ill-fated passengers, including young children and babies, were stranded hungry and cold on a peanut shell of an unseaworthy vessel.
The Times
accorded the tragedy that unfolded right before the watching world's eyes a mere four bland paragraphs on an inside page.
The New York Post
and the
Washington Post
judged the horror deserved editorial condemnation.
Contrast that with the
' earlier front-page treatment for the capsizing of another vessel, the Patria used by the British to deport illegal immigrants to Mauritius. The Patria's tragedy was caused by a miscalculated Hagana effort to disable the ship's engines so the British couldn't move it from Haifa port.
The Times
' scale of values was unmistakable – a story that embarrassed the Zionists won pride of place; the one that highlighted Jewish misfortune and reflected badly on Zionism's foes was downplayed. It's still oppressively so. Been there. Seen that. Which brings us back to Murdoch's cogent question. Leff somewhat answers it, even if in the context of the Second World War period.
She writes: "Widespread anti-Semitism led even successful Jews to feel insecure about the position of Jews in American society. Since the Times had come under Jewish ownership at the turn of the twentieth century, its managers had communicated those concerns to the paper's journalists."
Thus Jewish ownership "made the newspaper more hesitant to highlight" the Jewish story. "Assimilated Jews in particular," Leff argues, "did not want to be seen as emphasizing Jewish suffering."
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, she notes, felt that his own Jewishness "carried with it no special obligation to help fellow Jews." To his mind, in fact, "American Jews who helped other Jews because they were Jews threatened to undercut their position as Americans, Sulzberger believed." So do in today's US many Jewish media luminaries.
Sulzberger's fiery anti-Zionism "drew the publisher into fierce, public fights with American Jewry's top leaders that colored his views not only of their activities on behalf of a Jewish state, but also of other efforts on behalf of European Jews."
These days, such "fierce, public fights" are waged by Jewish American news personalities against leaders of the Jewish state.
Specific circumstances, dates and names have all changed since the 1940s, but not so the essence of how the more well-heeled American Jews see the Zionist endeavor – foremost its crowning achievement, Israel – as an discomfiture and a bother.
Herein lies the answer to Murdoch's question. He may not have phrased it delicately but his antennae were sensitively attuned to Jewish self-loathing in influential places.
"Another Tack" is taking time off and will be back at the end of January.

This year I decided to surprise my wife with a trip to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary. Keeping in mind that this time our little son wouldn't be coming with us, I didn't have to think too hard about where to go. All I was looking for was a destination where we can spend some days remembering why we decided to join our lives…and Puerto Vallarta was that place.
We stayed at Raintree's Club Regina Puerto Vallarta located on La Marina, where you have access to a beautiful beach and stunning sunsets. Each night, we took some time around 8pm to take a seat, relax and enjoy the sunsets. My wife really loved the Vallarta sunsets.
We were lucky to arrive during Puerto Vallarta's "Restaurant Week," so many restaurants in Puerto Vallarta created a special menu with special prices so you can taste a chef's selection for a very affordable price. One of our favorites was Café des Artistes. This is a fancy place with very interesting decorations on the main floor; however, if you want to get some fresh air, they have a beautiful terrace surrounded by a lot of flowers, plants and trees. I recommend the roasted tomato soup and the tequila shrimp…delicious!
Something you just can't miss if you go to Puerto Vallarta is the "Rhythms of the Night" tour, which takes place on a beach called "Las Caletas." You are taken there on a catamaran and once there, the very friendly crew serves you some drinks while you sit at a table at the edge of the shore. Surrounded by very light music and the sounds of the waves, you also enjoy an amazing buffet dinner and an entertaining show – it's an amazing musical show about a Mayan Princess and Principe that fell in love.
And last but not least, the revamped "Malecón" is something that you need to see. This boardwalk along the beach has so much: restaurants, night clubs, sand sculptures, and an art gallery. What a unique destination to reignite the spark of love…

Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling is set to speak to 400 students at the University of Virginia on Monday.
He will be a guest in Larry Sabato's Intro to American Politics course. It is a part of the class' Virginia gubernatorial series.
Sabato says Bolling faces a financial challenge if he decides to run as an independent, but there are advantages.
"Ken Cuccinelli is seen by many to be too far to the right," Sabato said. "Terry McAuliffe is seen by many to be inexperienced and unconnected to Virginia. So Bolling is kind of the porridge that's just right - not too hot, not too cold - just right, at least for those in the middle in Virginia."
Bolling says he will announce whether he will run on March 14.
Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli visited the class earlier this month. Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe is set to speak in April.

I bought this doll for my daughter for Christmas and it just arrived today. Paradise Galleries' customer service has been wonderful! This little doll is so beautiful, I can't wait for my daughter to see her on Christmas morning! I see that they're now sold out so I'm lucky to have gotten it before Christmas. Her blue eyes sparkle so much more than you can see in these photos. Her little face is so precious. Her weighted body feels right and her arms and legs pose easily. I do have to admit that I bought this doll for a six year old to play with but there's just nothing out there among toy dolls that compare. My daughter had been asking for the Baby Alive that eats until she saw it in the store one day and then didn't like the look of the doll at all. I don't get the current trend of dolls- all gimmicks and plastic when this is the kind of doll that they should be aiming for- the kind you can hold and love on, which is exactly what my daughter will do the instant that she sees her!

Well your lucky you got your baby before Christmas. I ordered my doll on Dec 2nd, I just called Costumer Service and they told me it had been back ordered till Jan 31st the whole reason i choose this doll is because Baby Avery was back ordered till Jan 19th. When I ordered the doll it said it was in stock. The costumer service lady was nice, she said I could order a new one with free shipping, but this is what I ordered and it said it was in stock. I guess my six yr old daughter will be getting it a month after Christmas.

My mom and dad bought me this baby doll for Christmas. I am so happy that I got her! She is so cuddly and has a very kissable face!!! :-) The only thing that I wish is that it had just a little more hair. It gets messed up alot. I always put a hat on her though. I bring it to the store and people mistaken it for a real baby!I reccomend this to you! Its so sweet and cute!If you dress her up in real cute clothes, she looks priceless! She fits in a newborn size or preemie. I hope that this helped!

I have this little bundle of joy and she is an amazing baby girl. the only problem i have with my little baby is that the cords in her arms and legs are not in the correct sockets. I do not know how to fix it but otherwise she is an amazing little girl and i recommend it to others.
