À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Experience the most modern forms of transportation and architecture in Shanghai during a thrilling ride on the Maglev Train and a scenic visit to Lujiazui.
Made with groundbreaking German technology, the Magnetic Levitation Train, also known as the Maglev Train, is Shanghai's newest, state-of-the-art mode of transportation. The wheel-less Maglev floats on an electromagnetic cushion, and is propelled along a guideway at incredible speeds. Built at a cost of over $1 billion U.S., the Maglev runs for 20.5 miles from Long Yang Lu Station to the Pudong International Airport. It can reach speeds of up to 200 mph, the fastest ever recorded for any ground-operated mode of transport.
Depart the pier for the drive to the Long Yang Lu Station at New Pudong District, where you will board the Maglev Train for an 8-minute ride to the Pudong Airport. During the ride, you will experience the sensation of flying as the train instantly accelerates to maximum speed. Upon arrival, a brief pause will be made before the ride back to Long Yang Lu Station.
After re-boarding your coach, you will visit the Lujiazui area of the New Pudong District. Developed from farmland only a decade ago and now home to numerous high-rise office buildings, this area has become the financial center of China. From here, you will continue on for a visit to the futuristic Jinmao Building, the most renowned skyscraper in Shanghai. At the Observation Lounge, you will take in spectacular panoramic views and photo opportunities of Shanghai on both sides of the Hangpu River.
Following your tour, you will rejoin your coach for the return drive to the pier and ship.
Please note: The ride on the Maglev Train is 8 minutes in each direction.

Man on the street: All business
Date: July 27, 2009
by: Maggie Pahos | Observer intern
Question: "What new businesses would you like to see on Longboat Key?"
Bob Hurst
"Another gas station since there's only one."
Jane Buckman, executive director of the Longboat Key Center for the Arts
"I would like to see the businesses that have closed, re-open in Whitney Beach Plaza. It would be nice to see it as a bustling enterprise again. I would also like to see businesses that enhance the experience of what we do here."
Dave Vaught, co-owner of Tiny's of Longboat Key
"I think we need to start with first keeping the businesses that we have. We need to keep what's here and expand from that. We could also really use a hotel."
Jim McGuire
"Another hotel. Once we get a hotel, we can get other businesses, because the hotel will support them."
Rick Obeid, owner of Key T-Shirts
"A Thai restaurant. It would be a good draw out here."
Andrew Hlywa, owner of Whitney Beach Plaza, pictured with Holly Salvato
Hlywa: "I would eventually like to see a resort hotel on the 10 acres here. For the short term, I would like to see a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant and a Thai restaurant. I personally think we need a better variety of food, and it would help to bring people here."
Jim Eatrides, owner of Alpha-Omega Communications
"A condo hotel on the north end so that tourists can support local restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, delis."

Town Square
Anyone Know If Any Restruants/Cafes Have Wi-Fi Avail.
Original post made by anonymous on Apr 16, 2007
Would love to hear any responses> thanks!
on Apr 17, 2007 at 9:19 am
Yes, Douce France at Town and Country has wireless. Great little place. Teeming with French pastry calories, wonderful coffee, quiches, rolls and muffins, unbelievable cakes and goodies, salads, terrific soups. Hard to get to right now but parking is not too far away. It's across from where Cook Book of blessed memory used to be. Worth the short walk., There's a good pizza place a few doors away.
on Apr 17, 2007 at 10:52 am
So does Printer's Inc Cafe on California Ave -- they have outdoor/indoor seating, good coffee, sandwiches, and of course free WiFi.
on Apr 17, 2007 at 4:08 pm
thanks for the suggestions people.
that's good to know about.

VikingsTw: Why do think I offered that full body flush
NodakPaul: VTW - I am quoting lines from a moive
BloodyHorns82: I like chemicals in my food
VikingsTw: Oh it is true
josdin00: With a name like bloody horns, I should've knonw you'd be into canabalism
VikingsTw: hell the food we get from the store is loaded with chemicals
marstc09: I understand TW, it definitly could be true
VikingsTw: I wouldn't eat fast food
NodakPaul: he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!
VikingsTw: simple as that
BloodyHorns82: Don't knock the Colonel - I ate him for lunch
VikingsTw: they let it happen, so they could go to war in Iraq
VikingsTw: Mars they took it down, they new it was coming
NodakPaul: "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"
VikingsTw: Bilderburg is probably the biggest meeting of the elite
NodakPaul: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face.
marstc09: There are a lot of things that don't make sense about the Tower tragedy
VikingsTw: 5 people? Thats inaccurate
NodakPaul: and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
NodakPaul: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers,
V: Wow, I ignored that thread altogether. I'm sad I missed out
VikingsTw: Right... but thats what critical thinking is for
marstc09: People shouldn't be so quick to put down that theory,, it is debatable
VikingsTw: Hords of believers
Prophet: just because you associate with the like minded people and convince yourself it's true, it doesn't mean it's true.
VikingsTw: Just like Satanic Religion
Prophet: here's a simple lesson in life for you. Whatever you choose to believe you can find hundreds, thousands or more to believe in it.
VikingsTw: they place the explosives on a slant
VikingsTw: The explosives were strapped to main metal that ran threw the towers
NodakPaul: VTW, your complete lack of ability to interact with other humans shined through brillently in that thread
i_bleed_purple: have you not noticed that nobody but yourself seems to believe you?
VikingsTw: Wow
Prophet: and nobody believes that but yourself
VikingsTw: well lets clear it up
Prophet: he's trying to spin stuff now, like he says everyone else does. Guess what, it's not that difficult to understand. You led a feeble life, heard a good idea, now you think you are omnipotent
Caine: No illusion - your post showed INCREDIBLE disrespect
VikingsTw: Army
josdin00: VTW, it did come across as tasteless and disrespectful of the soldier, whether you meant it to or not.
VikingsTw: My brother is a united states military
marstc09: I do believe that there is pretty good evidence to make a case for explosives under the towers
VikingsTw: false claims
VikingsTw: Again the illusion was created that I disrespect solders
i_bleed_purple: not wedding
i_bleed_purple: i mean funeral
i_bleed_purple: like nodak said, its like going to an aethiest's wedding and telling him he's going to hell for not believing in god
VikingsTw: Anit War? Yes, Anti Soldier? No
marstc09: That not cool
Caine: tasteless
i_bleed_purple: and despite the fact about 6 people told him to piss off with his anti-war/soldier crap, in a thread respecting a dead soldier
VikingsTw: I respect that too
VikingsTw: If I broke rules, hey... those are the rules
V: Face it guys. VikingsTw knows more than you do.
VikingsTw: Now the political part I can agree with
VikingsTw: they created the illison that I did not respect the soliders
josdin00: Well, aside from the fact that the discussion is quasi-pollitical, and we frown on that at PPO....
VikingsTw: I respect all soliders
VikingsTw: those that are close to me
VikingsTw: then gave a great example of several I know who have been in war
Prophet: so, you read a book that you liked and now it's your reality. Have fun with it.
VikingsTw: And... I respected all soilders
Prophet: i'm talking about some other post you had where you went off on how you were enlightened and all of us are sheep...etc. Sound like a real jackass that is pretending to be omnipotent.
VikingsTw: IT IS TRUE!
i_bleed_purple: he said it in a thread about respecting a dead soldier
marstc09: There is evidence that might be true
VikingsTw: they didn't like it
VikingsTw: that the war is pointless and only benifits the power elite
i_bleed_purple: your looney rants won't change a thing
marstc09: What is wrong with that?
i_bleed_purple: well, my decision is made, long before I even new about you
VikingsTw: I told them that the twin towers were harnaced with explosives
marstc09: How do I make a judgement if I don't know what it was?
VikingsTw: Vice Versa Prophet
marstc09: Damn it. What was posted?
VikingsTw: your job is to read and decide
Prophet: I have no intention of sharing mine with you because i dont' give a rat's ass what you think about me.
VikingsTw: Hey Bleed, take it with a grain of salt, I would never want anyone to take my word literal
i_bleed_purple: if you have ideas of your own, great, but take them elsewhere, because honestly, nobody gives a ****
Prophet: i read a paragraph or two of yours that was unsolicitated because you posted it.
Freakout: i think your nuts
i_bleed_purple: because we don't force our own ideas down others throats, a lesson you could afford to learn
VikingsTw: thats a problem
VikingsTw: you slander mine but won't give us your ideas
VikingsTw: You won't even share
VikingsTw: and yours?
Prophet: when your reality is on an island, maybe, just maybe, your reality is twisted.
NodakPaul: Still Hunnnngryyy
VikingsTw: of course you rationalize, you dont' have the honesty for it
VikingsTw: You don't want to hear that
NodakPaul: Think they know Temple of the Dog
VikingsTw: Reality
NodakPaul: Prison of the mind? Sounds like a good band
Prophet: m
Prophet: yes, i'
VikingsTw: Really you have no idea
VikingsTw: I don't think so
Prophet: your deep thoughts are not even at the level of Jack Handy
NodakPaul: lol
marstc09: Sometimes I pretend I am a slave and Jocelyn beats me
VikingsTw: Your a real winner
Prophet: you have a loooooong way to go before you will be considered a rookie philosopher
VikingsTw: Prophet your maturity is gleaming
VikingsTw: I'm already used to it, now that i'm conciously aware I can work to get out of the prison of mind
marstc09: lol paul
NodakPaul: i knew a girl that was into bondage...
VikingsTw: we were born into bondage
Prophet: be probably has only been out of him mom's basement once when he went to a polka festival and uncle perv, from idaho, taught him about the secrets of life
VikingsTw: We're slaves
Freakout: question. since marrdo refers to him as LORD dickhead does that make him a believer
marstc09: I practice Favrenity
VikingsTw: Or Illumination
VikingsTw: Those who seek Enlightenment will have to do so on there own
Prophet: yes, i'm just saying that he comes across like he really believes, and he does, that he has so much to share with all of us blind sheep
i_bleed_purple: either or, just not here
VikingsTw: Elighten or inform them of Goverment Corruption?
Garland Greene: Yeah Mars belongs to teh Church of Favre
Prophet: why not go there and enlighten them?
NodakPaul: lol mars

Prophet: there are thousands of board out there that do that all day long and the members are doing that by choice
marstc09: Shut up guys, where's the love? Favre is coming! ;)
NodakPaul: PHD level? GIving him too much credit...
i_bleed_purple: about 95% of us could give less than a **** about other people's spirituality
VikingsTw: It don't have to be that
i_bleed_purple: we don't want to discuss sprituality, whats so tough for you to understand
VikingsTw: Ok...
Prophet: it's like discussing your profession at a PhD level on some random board when you have the option to discuss it with others that have minimal training in the area
VikingsTw: especailly after you attacked me today
VikingsTw: it don't have to happen hear but I would like to talk to you
VikingsTw: Right, well I gave you my number
Prophet: it's moronic to litter a vikings website with that crap
NodakPaul: Vikigns TW, ever hear of Pascal's Wager?
Prophet: if you want to have spiritual discussions go to a forum where people discuss that. there are plenty of them
i_bleed_purple: I'm a follower of the flying spaghetti monster myself [link]
VikingsTw: Yeah reopen it
VikingsTw: who is he?
josdin00: I don't have that anymore. I just cleaned everything out that wasn't on-topic.
VikingsTw: I want to know your God
Prophet: worship the god of yule gibbons
VikingsTw: Yes Josdin, I just want my reply to prophet that you deleted
Garland Greene: In your breakfast cereaL or on a cheeto?
VikingsTw: thus became an Aethiest
Prophet: i'm on a vikings forum becaues i don't give a **** about other people's religious beliefs.
VikingsTw: I rejected the God of Beign from christianity
josdin00: VTW - If I clean out that thread (again) and re-open it (again), will you keep the pollitical discussion out of it?
VikingsTw: I used to be Aethiest till I found the real God
Prophet: if i was on a forum that did that i would be on that forum, i'm not
i_bleed_purple: Aethiest
VikingsTw: and why do we have so many?
i_bleed_purple: I don't

VikingsTw: ULTRA YOUR NOT UNDERSTANDING
NodakPaul: TW, I understand that you don't dispect the soldiers. But posting that was disrespectful to them. DO you see the difference
VikingsTw: I have all the love in the world for the soldiers

Fork Report: Bachynski's triple double paces Devils
Bachynski scored 13 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked a school-record 12 shots for the first-ever triple-double in Sun Devil basketball history. Oh, and ASU pushed their record to 8-1 with an 87-76 win over Cal State Northridge.
Bachynski had missed a triple-double in ASU's season-opening win over Central Arkansas by one block.
The Good
Outside of Bachynski's historic day, plenty of other Sun Devils enjoyed solid afternoons. Freshman point guard Jahii Carson scored a game-high 21 points and added four assists. Backcourt mate Evan Gordon contributed 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting and added three steals.
Carrick Felix had 17 points, and electrified the crowd with his hustle play and array of dunks. And Jonathan Gilling quietly added 12 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals.
ASU also continued to take care of the basketball, committing only 11 turnovers on the day. It was the third straight game in which the Devils had 11 or less turnovers.
The Sun Devils also lived at the free throw line. While shooting only 64% from the stripe, ASU shot 42 free throws on the day, compared to Northridge's 12.
The Bad
The starters were all good, but head coach Herb Sendek got very little from his bench in the contest. Chris Colvin, Eric Jacobsen and Bo Barnes combined for just 4 points -- all from the free throw line.
� Bachynski, for the season, has 50 blocked shots and only 15 fouls. Saturday, Bachynski played 32 minutes without a foul.
� Bachynski's triple-double was the first in the Pac-12 since Daniel Hackett had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for USC in a win over South Carolina on November 17, 2007.
He Said It
"Anytime you have a shot blocker like that, it's not only the ones he gets, but the opponent can't help but start thinking about it a little bit. He's also changing some other shots as well." -- ASU head coach Herb Sendek on Bachynski's defensive presence.
Up Next
The Sun Devils host the DePaul Blue Demons Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe. DePaul beat ASU last season during the Old Spice Classic in Orlando 68-64.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

After a 10 year quest, it took Eric Quave of Biloxi only 10 minutes to land an eye-popping 10-pound, 7.66-ounce spotted seatrout that eclipsed the former record - a 10-pound, six-ouncer - that had stood for 35 years.
Quave is a "big fish hunter," catching 38 trout weighing more than 8 1/2 pounds during that 10-year run.
The big trout was caught near the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor on May 13 on a live sand trout suspended under a popping cork.
The catch, weighed by the Department of Marine Resources, will be certified at the next meeting of the Commision of Marine Resources.

As Sir Alex Ferguson's men fly to Turkey for Tuesday night's game against Galatasaray, former Reds defender Denis Irwin recalls an eventful trip to Istanbul in November 1993...
At Old Trafford a fortnight earlier we'd drawn 3-3 in the first leg after leading 2-0. That result gave everybody connected with Galatasaray the belief that they could finish the job in Turkey and I remember their manager, Reiner Hollmann, warned us that their fans would be "waiting for you" at the airport.
He wasn't wrong! When we landed there were hundreds of fans at the airport, singing and chanting, some of them right in our faces. There was a sign that said "Welcome to Hell". Others said "This is the end" and "You shall die". It wasn't the nicest welcome we'd ever had.
It seemed like the whole of Istanbul knew Manchester United was coming. On the way from the airport to the hotel cars were beeping their horns, fans were leaning out of windows, gesturing to us. There were even supporters hanging off the back of mopeds, waving flags and singing songs.
During the first leg, Peter Schmeichel manhandled one of their supporters who'd run onto the pitch. He picked him up by his collar, marched him to the touchline and threw him to the ground. I don't suppose that helped relations, so I'm blaming Big Pete for the nasty welcome!
Beautiful as it was, on the banks of the Bosphorus, the hotel wasn't exactly a sanctuary,

Was it the airing of a grievance? A high-profile bid to make a geopolitical point? The creation of chaos for its own sake?
Perhaps there's an explanation for why two brothers detonated two bombs along the route of the Boston Marathon. We're willing to listen. Full disclosure: We'll probably find the answer insufficient.
"It could have been worse" has been a common, glass-half-full reflection on Monday's attack in Boston, and that view has some merit.
The human cost would have been much greater were it not for shifting crowds and timing. Speaking from our own little patch on the globe, The Goshen News was relieved to hear that all the runners from our area, and their families and supporters, were unharmed.
But "could have been worse" is small comfort to the loved ones of the three people — including an 8-year-old boy — killed in the attack. It doesn't heal the 180 people who were wounded.
It also prompts a question, as we move on with our lives: Will it be worse the next time?
That's a reasonable thing to ask. Still, brooding on that grim "What if?" can also cripple us with fear, and make life so much less than it can be.
The News isn't against caution or reasonable security measures in place at public events, venues or airports. Security advisers have learned what works best most of the time.
In the free society we call home, though, there's no such thing as perfect security. Large-scale gatherings — like life itself — will always come with the hint of risk. Trying to ensure complete safety at all times would be a near-Orwellian folly. It would also break the bank.
Andy Williams is a teacher at Northridge High School. He'd been training all winter to compete in the Boston Marathon. His efforts were rewarded when, after 26.2 miles, he was the 68th man to finish the course. Williams did that in a personal best time of two hours, 28 minutes.
Williams knows all too well what happened after his achievement. We think he also has the right perspective on the attack — and how to move forward.
"It's not going to deter me from my desire to do things like this in the future," Williams told The News. "You can't live in fear because of something like this. There is just so much positive out there, it's just an incredible shame that something like this had to happen in such a positive environment...If you let it get to you, that kind of means they win in the end."
Let's not let them win.

Success Stories: Busy Lifestyle
I turn 65 this year, and I love living life to its fullest through both my academic position and my volunteer service as president of the American Occupational Therapy Association. Life can be hectic, but I discovered a wonderful resource to help me stay fit—the NIA Exercise and Physical Activity Guide.
Yesterday I tried strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility exercises, and this morning I have the wonderful feeling that I exerted myself with just the right amount of challenge. I like the way the exercises are linked to everyday activities such as making it easier to vacuum, rake leaves, lift bags into the overhead compartment of the plane, and so on. And they can be done anywhere.
My husband John keeps urging me to attend dance lessons with him (he participates in eight or more a week). Reading the Guide convinced me to take more dance lessons and to make these exercises part of my customized plan for healthy living.

Problem set #3
Due on Monday, March 19th by 5:00 p.m. in the inbox outside of Hillcrest 214.
- You are an economic consultant to a member of Congress. Someone has just introduced a bill that will impose a $50 carbon tax, which will of course affect the market for home heating oil. Would you expect the entire tax to be paid by consumers? If your job were to determine who bears the burden of the tax, what information would you collect? Justify your answer.
- Read this article about the future of the energy market and then use our models to illustrate how the developments in this article will improve social welfare. Do you think that government policies are required to accelerate the trends mentioned in this article? Why or why not?
- Demonstrate how a binding price floor is like a tax on consumers and a subsidy to suppliers
- Who gets the revenue in the case of a tax? Label the area that illustrates a tax
- Who gets he revenue in the case of a price floor? Label the transfer of surplus from consumers to suppliers
- Label the welfare loss associated with the tax and with the price floor.
- Listen to this recent report about the minimum wage, review our class reading on the subject, and then make your case: should the USA increase its minimum wage or not? Use our models to make your case.
- Suppose the weekly demand curve for wristwatches in Lincoln, Nebraska is given by the equation P = 12 – 0.25Q, and the weekly supply of wristwatches is given by the equation P = 6 + 0.75Q, where P is the dollar price of a wristwatch. Sketch these demand and supply curves and then calculate:a. Consumer surplusb. Producer surplus
- Under what conditions will the deadweight loss from an import tariff be relatively small? Under what conditions will they be relatively large? Justify your answer using a graphical model.
- Mankiw – Problems and Applications, Chapter 9. Problem 11 (p. 191 in the 6th Edition.)
- When President Bush backed an import quota on foreign steel, Steven Landsburg, an economist at the University of Rochester, wrote the following in the New York Times:
Free trade is not only about the right of American consumers to buy at the cheapest possible price; it's also about the right of foreign producers to earn a living. Steelworkers in West Virginia struggle hard to make ends meet. So do steelworkers in South Korea. To protect one at the expense of the other, solely because of where they happened to be born, is a moral outrage.
A few days later, Tom Redburn published an article disagreeing with Landsburg:
It is not some evil character flaw to care more about the welfare of people nearby than about that of those far away — it's human nature. And it is morally — and economically — defensible. … A society that ignores the consequences of economic disruption on those among its citizens who come out at the short end of the stick is not only heartless, it also undermines its own cohesion and adaptability. Indeed, the more efficiently the machinery of the market has operated in recent years, the more those who see themselves as its victims have tried to throw sand in the gears.
How does an import quota allow the US government to protect steelworkers in West Virginia at the expense of steelworkers in South Korea? Is Landsburg making a positive or a normative statement? Based on these opinions and our reading material, do you tend to support barriers to international trade? Make your case with our models and with other analytical tools.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
For some time, the buzzword in political circles has been "reform" in education, taxes and "entitlements." "Reform" has a pleasing ring to it, implying that all these matters will be changed for the better. Upon close examination of some proposals in these areas, we find that maybe they are not designed to make things better, but as the word "reform" suggests — just changed — and for the worse.
Social Security, the program that for the last 78 years has kept the elderly from falling into dire poverty, has been the target of the Republicans since its inception. Social Security is not going broke. According to the Social Security Administration, Social Security has a surplus today of $2.8 trillion and can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible person for the next 20 years. Social Security has not contributed to the deficit. Social Security is funded independently by FICA taxes that are paid by workers and their employers.
One of the "reforms" would increase the eligibility age for Social Security. There is little regard in these "reforms" for people, long before they reach 70, who can't do their job any longer because of age, or lose their job and have no chance of being rehired. Social Security currently supports more than 57 million Americans and contributes to an average two-thirds of income for those over 65. Without it, 44 percent of the elderly would qualify as poor, but with Social Security, the poverty rate is only 9 percent. Imagine a 65-year-old, ineligible for Social Security, now having to depend on federal or state poverty programs, charity or dependence on his/her children or other relatives. That would not save the government money — or protect the dignity of the individual.
The so-called chained-CPI, which recalculates how COLA's are formulated, is not a "modest tweak." If the chained CPI went into effect today, a senior aged 65 would receive $658 a year less in Social Security benefits when he/she is 75, and $1,100 a year less at age 85. Further, the average disabled veteran would lose tens of thousands of dollars in benefits over his or her lifetime

I found several inexpensive phones on Ebay that have GPS and I can develop using. Then I ran into the question: If I plan on not purchasing a service for the phone can I still access the GPS functions to get location?
Basically I just need a phone to develop and test my application sheerly from the standpointo of accessing the GPS functions and getting the coordinates. Once that works I'll worry about getting service and build my application to make use of that information. Anyone dealt with this?
My assumption is no, based on:
which is a good reference for LBS and Nokia phones.

The entertainment was dated. The best act was the hypnotist. Enjoyed breaking even playing blackjack in the casino. Dining service was fantastic! Food was fine, but too bad you can't get fresh fish at sea! The desserts were a stand out. We did anytime dining in the Davinci. We enjoyed being served instead of dealing with the buffet, like we did at lunch. I usually ate a vegie burger and fries, from the poolside grill.
The band 'Temperature' was good, but one or two days of them would have been fine. Everytime we turned around they were playing at the pool or at one of the clubs. Princess definitely needs to update their entertainment.
But there's so much to do, it didn't matter that much. We would highly recommend the Crown Princess. Service was great!

Time for a Garrettism. Jason Garrett loves to talk about how you play one game at a time (which proves that he is as prone to cliche as anyone).
But it isn't all that simple. There are times an NFL schedule breaks itself up naturally into parts, and for the Dallas Cowboys, that is true in 2012. There is the first four games that have already been played, starting with two road games. There is the upcoming five game stretch with four away games, and the lone home contest against a New York Giants team that will be hungry to get some revenge for the opening game loss to the Cowboys. And then there is the final seven games, which only has two away games left to play, and includes a rare three consecutive home games.
Coming into the season, a lot of fans were thinking the Cowboys were very likely going to be 2-2 as they are - but I don't think anyone was really expecting the games to have gone the way they have. As I have opined, the team is still trying to find an identity, and this has been noticed by others as well. If the upcoming mid-section of the season is not to leave the team too far out of things in the NFC East to come back, Dallas needs to have a good, competitive game against the Baltimore Ravens to get things rolling after the bye. Of course a win would be the preferred outcome, but showing they can hang with a team instead of getting put away early as they were against both the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears is a priority.
If you are familiar with the history of the Ravens, this would look like a terrible way for Dallas to try and get re-established. They have not lost a regular season home game since November 22, 2009. They have a reputation for an attacking, dominating defense.
But take a closer look at things, as has already been done quite well in the FanPosts. Baltimore, statistically at least, is the weakest defense Dallas has faced this year. It is especially less formidable against the run than three of the four teams the Cowboys have already played. According to those numbers, this is the best chance Dallas has had in a month to get DeMarco Murray and the ground game cranked up again. And right now, you know that Rob Ryan and the defensive staff are tearing apart the video from the Ravens-Kansas City Chiefs to figure out how KC held Joe Flacco and company to 165 net passing yards and 9 measly points. (It wouldn't hurt to slow down Ray Rice, who a 99, a 101 and a 102 yard rushing game already this year, either.)
The bye week should also give the team some hope of getting at least marginally adequate play out of the offensive line, which will go hand in hand with the running game as well as protecting Tony Romo. Most importantly, the team needs to work on getting positive yards on first down. They have been absolutely dismal at this, leaving way too many long down and distance situations (another peeve I may have mentioned recently). Once again, on paper, Baltimore looks like a good team against which to get this done.
The most important battle Dallas has to win is in their heads. They have to believe in themselves first of all, and then they have to collectively overcome the myriad mental errors that have afflicted them, particularly on offense and special teams. If they can get that done, this could be the start of something good. Or at least, the beginning of survival of a very intimidating stretch of games.

Proverbs 29:18 teaches us that "When there is no vision, the people perish." Life coach Anthony Robbins counsels that "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." How can congregations steer clear of these pitfalls, moving forward in concert with their members' needs and aspirations? One effective way is through strategic visioning.
What, you may ask, is visioning? Judith Erger, the Union for Reform Judaism's former governance, leadership development, and architecture specialist, defines it as "a creative process of thinking large, defining whatis unique and beloved about the synagogue, and articulating core Jewish values and hopes. Visionary leaders think beyond the present realities to dream in color about a different or brighter future for the congregation."
The visioning process itself can become a means of community building and bonding, form touchstones for congregational decision making, and offer individual members new entrees into active synagogue life.
Consider these examples:
How can your congregation best embark on a visioning initiative? Here are 10 tips from synagogue leaders and strategic planning professionals:
Visioning is vital, Erger insists. "The worst mistake you can make is not visioning at all, out of complacency or risk aversion, or by assuming that the future will shape itself as long as the day-to-day operations are handled. We need to think large, as Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel has taught us (in I Asked for Wonder: A Spiritual Anthology): 'A Jew is asked to take a leap of action rather than a leap of thought. He is asked to surpass his needs, to do more than he understands in order to understand more than he does.…"

How are you feeling about the economy?
A new poll shows many business owners are still nervous.
The survey shows a sharp decline in the number of small business owners in metro Atlanta who are planning to hire more workers.
Some business owners in South Georgia say they're no different as a shaky economy and political uncertainty play a role.
Restaurant owner BJ Fletcher says hiring more staff over the holiday season is unlikely to happen.
"We're battling higher fuel cost, higher food cost. We don't know what new regulations are going be on healthcare or taxes," said Fletcher.
A survey of small businesses in Atlanta shows only 18% plan to hire over the next six months. That's down from 34% in the spring.
Fletcher says fewer people are coming to her for work as well.
"This is the first time I'm not having as many people come looking for part-time jobs. I don't know if they've given up or just been beaten down," said Fletcher.
Fletcher is not alone. We've talked to other small business owners who say they probably won't hire employees over the holiday period, especially with the presidential election around the corner and uncertainty of healthcare reform.
"Everybody that signs a check says healthcare is a big issue especially if you have a certain amount of employees and that's going to make a difference," said Fletcher.
She hopes the economy and other matters such as healthcare reform become clearer, so she can conduct her business accordingly.
"I can't push it on to consumers because they can cook for themselves or they don't have to go out," said Fletcher.
"This is the hardest time I've ever known for small business owners. Small business owners are the backbone of the community and of this country," she continued.
Fletcher says she'll stay optimistic and hopes employers will start hiring more soon.
That survey also showed 54% of small business owners believe they are worse off now than in 2007 when the economic officially began. 23% said they're better off.

A fair coin is tossed repeatedly until 5 consecutive heads occurs.
What is the expected number of coin tosses?
A fair coin is tossed repeatedly until 5 consecutive heads occurs.
What is the expected number of coin tosses?
Lets calculate it for n consecutive tosses the expected number of tosses needed Lets say that for En-1 for n-1 consecutive heads and En for n consecutive heads Now if we get one more head after En-1 then we have n consecutive heads or if it is a tail then again we have to repeat the procedure So for the two scenarios 1.En-1 +1 2.En +1 1 for a tail
So En=1/2*(En-1 +1)+1/2(En-1+ En+ 1) So En= 2En-1+2 So we have the general recurrence relation as f(x)=2*f(x-1)+2 where for x>=2 and for n=2 we can easily derive that f(2)=6; So f(x)=2*f(x-1)+2=f(x)=2*(2*f(x-2)+2)+2=2*(2*(2*f(x-3)+2)+2)+2 which can be generalized as f(x)=2^x+2^1 +2^2+2^3+....... 2^(n-1) =2^x+2*(2^(n-1)-1) So for x=5 it will be 32+2*(2^4-1)=62
Here is a generating function approach.
Consider the following toss strings, probabilities, and terms
$$ \color{#00A000}{ \begin{array}{llc} T&\frac12&\qquad\frac12x\\ HT&\frac14&\qquad\frac14x^2\\ HHT&\frac18&\qquad\frac18x^3\\ HHHT&\frac1{16}&\qquad\frac1{16}x^4\\ HHHHT&\frac1{32}&\qquad\frac1{32}x^5\\ \color{#C00000}{HHHHH}&\color{#C00000}{\frac1{32}}&\color{#C00000}{\qquad\frac1{32}x^5} \end{array} } $$ Each term has the probability as its coefficient and the length of the string as its exponent.
Possible outcomes are any combination of the green strings followed by the red string. We get the generating function of the probability of ending after $n$ tosses to be $$ \begin{align} f(x)&=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\left(\frac12x+\frac14x^2+\frac18x^3+\frac1{16}x^4+\frac1{32}x^5\right)^k\frac1{32}x^5\\ &=\frac{\frac1{32}x^5}{1-\left(\frac12x+\frac14x^2+\frac18x^3+\frac1{16}x^4+\frac1{32}x^5\right)}\\ &=\frac{\frac1{32}x^5}{1-\frac{\frac12x-\frac1{64}x^6}{1-\frac12x}}\\ &=\frac{\frac1{32}x^5-\frac1{64}x^6}{1-x+\frac1{64}x^6} \end{align} $$ The average duration is then $$ \begin{align} f'(1) &=\left.\frac{\left(\frac5{32}x^4-\frac6{64}x^5\right)\left(1-x+\frac1{64}x^6\right)-\left(\frac1{32}x^5-\frac1{64}x^6\right)\left(-1+\frac6{64}x^5\right)}{\left(1-x+\frac1{64}x^6\right)^2}\right|_{\large x=1}\\ &=\frac{\frac4{64}\frac1{64}+\frac1{64}\frac{58}{64}}{\left(\frac1{64}\right)^2}\\[12pt] &=62 \end{align} $$
Let $e$ be the expected number of tosses. It is clear that $e$ is finite.
Start tossing. If we get a tail immediately (probability $\frac{1}{2}$) then the expected number is $e+1$. If we get a head then a tail (probability $\frac{1}{4}$), then the expected number is $e+2$. Continue $\dots$. If we get $4$ heads then a tail, the expected number is $e+5$. Finally, if our first $5$ tosses are heads, then the expected number is $5$. Thus $$e=\frac{1}{2}(e+1)+\frac{1}{4}(e+2)+\frac{1}{8}(e+3)+\frac{1}{16}(e+4)+\frac{1}{32}(e+5)+\frac{1}{32}(5).$$ Solve this linear equation for $e$. We get $e=62$.
This problem is solvable with the next step conditioning method. Let $\mu_k$ denote the mean number of tosses until 5 consecutive heads occurs, given that $k$ consecutive heads just occured. Obviously $\mu_5=0$. Conditioning on the outcome of the next coin throw: $$ \mu_k = 1 + \frac{1}{2} \mu_{k+1} + \frac{1}{2} \mu_0 $$ Solving the resulting linear system:
Hence the expected number of coin flips $\mu_0$ equals 62.

Judith reporting from the Nordics, today .. Denmark
This report is written by Judith de Graaff from Joelix and all images are by Judith.
During the month of may, my husband and I travelled through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway for 3 weeks. We had a wonderful stay in the Nordics including reindeer, elks, tasty kanelbullar & Danish pastries, fjords, supercute red Swedish cottages, Legoland, great weather, excellent design shops and so much more. In this report I will take you along with me to the 3 Scandinavian capitals: Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo.
But our first stop will be Odense on the island of Fyn in Denmark. Odense is a small city which is mostly known for the Hans Christian Anders hus, where the famous fairytale writer was born. It has now been turned into a museum. Of course we also visited Brandts, the Art Center which houses the Kunsthallen, Denmarks Mediamuseum, and the Photography Museum. After the visit we had coffee at Cafe Biografen at Brandts, which also houses a cult cinema.
In the city center you'll mostly find big chain stores. The store of the Grene Sisters (Vestergade 25) is no exception to that (you'll find many of their shops throughout Scandinavia) but it's still a cute and inexpensive shop for tiny decoration goodies, candles, storage boxes, notebooks and so much more. Definitely worth a visit.
Copenhagen is a great city for shopping. It's home of some of the best shops we've seen in 3 weeks. Vintage (genbrug) shopping is big too, there are a lot of second hand shops and fleamarkets everywhere. We were lucky to find a Fog & Mørup lamp for 50DKK (10USD) on a flea market in Nørrebro, near the apartment we rented through AirBnB.
One of my favorite shops in Copenhagen were Liebe (Kompagnistræde 23) and Stilleben (Læderstræde 14). Both shops carry contemporary handmade table wear, vases, door knobs, stationary and so much more. The styling of the Liebe shop is really amazing. You will absolutely find the perfect gift for a newborn baby in here. Susan Liebe really amazed me.

Parents Council
Longwood Parents Council
The Parents Council is a group of Association parents who pledge to participate in Longwood activities for the good of the university and to contribute financially to fund Council activities aimed at student academic achievement, citizen leadership, and overall university enhancement.
What does the Parents Council do?
- The Council provides funds for grant proposals generated by students and university groups that are directly involved with academic achievement, citizen leadership, and overall university enhancement.
- The Council advises the administration on student needs and issues.
Who are the members of the Parents Council?
Members of the Longwood Parents Council include families who are invited by the university president, or designee, with the advice of ex officio members from the University and the Parents Council Executive Committee. The Council consists of at least 25 families, representing the academic years and diversity of the Longwood student body.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Parents Council, please click here to complete a Parents Council Interest Form. For additional information about the council, please contact:
The Office of First Year Experience & Family Programs
Parents Council Grants Awards For 2012-2013 are listed below!
Members of the Parents Council support the university with annual personal financial gifts payable to the Longwood Parents Council Fund. These gifts form the basis for awarding grants to directly benefit the academic and co-curricular life of Longwood students.
Students, student organizations, and university departments are invited to submit grant requests to the Parents Council, which will evaluate and prioritize the requests. Approved grant requests will be funded from the Parents Council Grant Fund.
As part of its mission, the Longwood Parents Council awarded 12 grants, totaling nearly $10,000 to recipients in the 2012 academic year. The Parents Council encourages students and organizations to apply for grants to advance the university's academic, cultural and social initiatives.
The following is a summary of the grant amounts to recipients and the purpose of the awards.
Beginning Vectorworks (CADD) Workshop- The Parents Council awarded $900 to fully fund the CADD workshop to provide students a hands-on learning experience of a design platform. Students will have a basic understanding of the Vectorworks environment and understand the similarities of hand drafting to CADD.
Lancers On The Road- The Parents Council partially funded this project in the amount of $850 for Longwood students to attend the Longwood University vs. Liberty University basketball game. The project is a spirit initiative hosted by the Lancer Lunatics in an effort to build Lancer pride.
Experimentation With Precious Metal Clay- The Parents Council awarded $715 to fully fund the purchase of precious metal clay for the use in art classes so students can build their knowledge of working with metals other than standard sheet metal. Precious metal clay consists of very small particles of silver, gold, bronze, or copper mixed with an organic binder and water for use in making jewelry, beads, and small sculptures.
Civic Sustainability Through Aquaponics- The Parents Council awarded $706 to fully fund this project. It has a direct impact by exposing students to aquaponics and how it can be used to support the University, i.e., growing food for student and/or community consumption.
Sigma Sigma Sigma Fall Festival- The Parents Council partially funded this project in the amount of $300. The Fall Festival supports pediatric playrooms in Texas and North Carolina and is the sorority's national service project. It is recommended by the Council that the grant be used to build community involvement in an effort to provide a future service project for a hospital in the Farmville area.
Phi Beta Lambda Spring State Leadership Council- The Parents Council provided partial funding in the amount of $360 for Phi Beta Lambda students to attend a state conference. The conference supports academic achievement and continues to place Longwood students in a larger forum.
Arduino Workshops- The Parents Council awarded $300 to fully fund the Arduino Workshops. Arduinos are popular tools for building computer-controlled devices such as burglar alarms, video games, and robots. Arduino kits will be purchased for students to learn more about assembling the required circuits necessary to make devices such as these functional. This understanding provides a knowledge base to learn more about how computers and their components actually work.
Even Scholars Need A Break!- The Parents Council partially funded this project in the amount of $500 to purchase additional DVDs for the Greenwood Library's digital movie collection. The Council funded this project upon learning that Longwood students watch a large number of movies and are eclectic in their movie choices.
L'Orfeo- A Student Production Of A Great Opera- The Parents Council fully funded this project in the amount of $1100 to assist in the production costs of the opera.
