Vt. arms dealer sues over Romanian semiauto weaponsBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | February 07,2013At a time when talk of gun control has led to a run on weapons and ammunition sales at gun shops around the country, a Vermont company thats the largest importer and wholesaler of surplus weapons in North America, is engaged in a legal battle with a Colorado company for allegedly siphoning off as much as $4 million in profits.
Century International Arms of Georgia alleges in its federal lawsuit that M+M Inc. of Eastlake, Colo., solicited business from C.N. Romarm S.A., the Romanian government-owned weapons company, in violation of what the company says is tantamount to an exclusivity contract to import and sell certain Romarm weapons in the U.S.
On Tuesday, eight months after the lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Vermont, M+M Inc. filed a response denying all of Century Internationals allegations while seeking dismissal of the case.
Century International Arms (www.centuryarms.com), which operates a manufacturing and distribution center in the Arrowhead Industrial Park in Georgia, imports a variety of surplus weapons, including the popular Romanian WASR-10 semiautomatic rifle.
Century takes the imported weapons and makes modifications at its Georgia facility to meet U.S. gun laws. The modified firearms are then sold to gun dealers as the GP/WASR 10/63 KR.
Centurys corporate address is in Delray Beach, Fla.
As a result of M+Ms interference with its contracts with Romarm/FAC, Century has been unable to fill its customers orders, harming Centurys reputation and crippling its ability to meet demand, according to the companys June 2012 lawsuit.
FAC (S.C. Fabrica De Arme Cugir) is Romarms manufacturing subsidiary.
Century and Romarm have been doing business for 10 years. The latest contract dated March 2011 requires Romarm to sell a specified number of weapons each month.
In exchange, Century agreed to pay Romarm, on average, a minimum of $1.35 million per quarter and a minimum of $350,000 a month, the eight-page lawsuit stated.
But Century said while it has lived up to its part of the agreement, Romarm/FAC has failed to deliver the required quantity of firearms to century under the 2011 contract.
In addition to the contract, Century points out that the companies also signed a Business Promotion and Protection Agreement. The companies agreed to be loyal to each other and to work jointly to promote the sales of Romanian firearms and accessories in the United States.
Century is barred from filing suit against Romarm because the contracts are subject to arbitration.
The lawsuit points out that the agreements require both Century and Romarm to participate in arbitration in Paris under international rules.
Century alleges that its inability to meet demand is based in part on Romarm selling surplus weapons to M+M Inc (www.cogunsales.com). At the time the lawsuit was filed, Romarm had already supplied M+M with 12,405 firearms and accessories in the previous 18 months and agreed to supply the Colorado wholesaler with an additional 24,000 firearms and accessories from August through February 2013.
Century argues that it is entitled to all weapons and accessories sold to M+M.
M+Ms usurping of those firearms and accessories has deprived Century of millions of dollars in revenue and close to $2 million on profit in the last twelve monthsm, the lawsuit said. If M+M receives shipment of the remaining 24,000 firearms and accessories through February 2013, Centurys lost profits will more than double.
In a letter dated Sept. 2, 2011, Century notified M+M of its exclusive contract with Romarm. M+M replied in a letter five days later that it would take Centurys letter into consideration.
Centurys lawsuit alleges that since at least May 2011, M+M has taken action to disrupt Centurys relationship with Romarm and advising Romarm to violate its agreements with Century.
The lawsuit further alleges that two foreign companies, InterOrdinance Austria and CIT Bahamas are helping M+M in its dealings with Romarm.
In its eight-page response filed with the court, M+M alleged that whatever damages Century incurred were caused by the acts or omissions of third parties (Romarm) beyond its control. The Colorado arms wholesaler also argued that the contracts in question expired prior to M+M doing business with Romarm. In addition, M+M alleged that the exclusivity provision violate the laws of Romania and the European Union.
Century is asking the court to award damages of at least $4 million, plus punitive damages and attorneys fees.
M+M is represented by Pamela Moreau of the Burlington law firm of Murphy Sullivan Kronk and John Zakhem of Denver, Colo.
Century International Arms is represented by Andrew Manitsky of Gravel & Shea in Burlington.
Attorneys representing Century and M+M declined to comment for this story.

According to a photo leaked from a recent Ford dealers meeting, Ford are planning to launch two performance models, the Ford Focus ST and the Fiesta ST this year along with the Ford Ecosport, Kuga and Explorer SUV's.
Media reports indicate the Focus ST will be priced at around 260,000RMB, wit the Fiesta STÂ expected to be around 150,000RMB. The largest Ford Explorer will be marketed as an Executive vehicle when it launches later in the year. The Explorer is also rumored to be produced by Ford's commercial vehicle partner, JMC, and further rumors seem to indicate that a Ford Ranger truck will also see Chinese production lines in the not so distant future.

Aided by a $38,000 state grant, a Sonoma County nonprofit aims to reopen two parking areas at Bodega Head and boost public use of little-known Campbell Cove at the mouth of Bodega Harbor.
Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods was among the 52 organizations that received a total of more than $1.3 million in grants from the Coastal Conservancy, the state agency announced last week.
Michele Luna, executive director of the Stewards, said the funds would be used to enhance use of the entire Sonoma Coast State Park, with a focus on Campbell Cove, a frequent destination for school groups.
Stewards, which took over operation of Austin Creek State Recreation Area in Guerneville last year, now plans to reopen the east parking lot on Bodega Head and a paved lot at Campbell Cove.
The two parking lots have been closed for about two years, leaving open only the west lot on Bodega Head.
The cove, with a sandy beach on the tranquil harbor, is a "nice, safe location" for school field trips, Luna said.
When students from Madrone Elementary in Rincon Valley visited last year during a visit by tall sailing ships, two students in wheelchairs were able to reach the beach, she said.
Stewards plans to partner with the nearby Bodega Marine Laboratory to bring students to the cove and the research facility operated by UC Davis.
A separate $25,000 grant from the Dean Witter Foundation will pay for a mobile marine education visitor center, mounted on a 32-foot-long trailer, that would visit Campbell Cove, Luna said.
The center will offer displays and interactive features, along with sales of educational materials to help fund its operation.
Stewards hopes to open the center next spring, but the timing is uncertain because it requires approval of various permits, Luna said.
The Coastal Conservancy grant also will be used to boost visitation to the 17-mile-long coastal state park, including collaboration with lodging facilities on the coast.

Career Fair Tip Sheet
Before the fair
- Look on Career Services' website to find out which organizations are confirmed to attend and which majors they are looking to recruit. Decide which ones you will approach.
- Make sure that your resume is up-to-date and that you have enough copies to give one to each potential employer.
- Prepare a "sound bite" -- a short 1-2 minute summary of your background, your skills and your interests that you can use to introduce yourself to employers.
- Do some basic online research for each organization and prepare 2-3 informational, open-ended questions to ask each of them. Since you may not have a lot of time to talk, save lengthy questions for an interview or a follow up e-mail.
Day of the fair
- Dress professionally. A muted, neutral color suit (e.g. black, gray, navy or beige) is preferable, but a nice dress shirt, a tie and pants are also fine for men, and a blouse and knee-length skirt or pants are acceptable for women. Women should try to keep makeup and accessories subdued as well. In general, try to avoid jeans, sweats and sneakers even if you are coming straight from class.
- Carry a portfolio or a nice folder with your resumes, a pad and a pen. Try to minimize the amount of extra "stuff" (bags, coat, etc.) you have with you, whenever possible. Unfortunately, we do not provide a coat check.
At the fair
- Determine where the companies that you'd like to talk to are located in the room(s).
- If there are long lines at the table you are interested in visiting, remain cool, calm and collected while waiting for your turn. Go to another table first, if necessary.
- Visit each of your targeted tables and speak with at least one of the organization's representatives. Be sure to smile, shake hands, introduce yourself and offer them your resume. Ask each representative that you talk to for a business card and collect (and tuck away) the company literature before you go to the next organization.
- If possible, jot down some quick notes about your conversations before your next stop. This will help you remember which organizations you were especially interested in later on. It will also help you personalize the thank you notes you write afterwards.
After the fair
- Send thank you notes/e-mails to the organizations you would like to target. Personalize all correspondence!

'Toy-Kam-Raw' is a unique book that combines letterpress, toy camera photographs and butterflies to create an interesting visual fantasy.
Nature and industry blend to create a seamless and colourful world that is peaceful and unsettling at the same time. The photographs are both bizarre and comedic. The endless variation of numbers and letters represent how coded and complicated our modern world has become, yet the butterflies still overpower and brighten all that they touch.
This book is a current representation of my mind. Enjoy!
Life, Love & Peace,

Blind Luck, Eclipse Award finalist for top 2-year-old filly of 2009, is at the ready for her 3-year-old debut in Saturday's Grade I $250,000 Las Virgenes Stakes at one mile. Rival trainer John Sadler has the utmost respect for the impressive winner of the Grade I Hollywood Starlet on Dec. 20, but still plans to run the promising Crisp in the Las Virgenes.
"She worked at Hollywood this morning," Sadler said of the daughter of El Corredor owned by Michael Talla of Los Angeles. (Joel) Rosario worked her and everything is thumbs up. Racing against Blind Luck is challenging in the sense that she's the second-best 3-year-old on the West Coast. The first one is Lookin At Lucky. We're up against it, but you've got to get them started." Blind Luck worked six furlongs Saturday on Pro-Ride in 1:12 under regular rider Rafael Bejarano. "To me, he's the best rider that I've ever had work horses,' said Hollendorfer assistant Dan Ward. "He goes off slow with a long hold, finishes strong and gallops out good. He's just perfect to work a horse."
Probable for the Las Virgenes: Blind Luck, Rafael Bejarano; Crisp, Joel Rosario; La Nez, Mike Smith; and Summer Games, Michael Baze.
Riding five winners Saturday to zoom past runner-up Joel Rosario in the Santa Anita jockeys' race came as no surprise to Bejarano's agent of five years, Joe Ferrer.
"He knows how to win," Ferrer said of the 27-year-old Peruvian. "One thing about him, he knows how to find the winner's circle. It doesn't surprise me when he wins. Some riders have that knack; they're winners. They don't have to have the best horse, but they just win. Horses run for him."
Popular 10-year-old California-bred gelding Shadow of Illinois and his trainer, Anthony Saavedra and his wife, Jennifer, who owns the horse, will be featured on HRTV's "Inside Information" show tonight at 6 p.m.
Shadow of Illinois, unsuccessful in his bid to become the first 10-year-old to win a stakes at Santa Anita when he was unplaced in the Jan. 1 Sensational Star Handicap, is entered in Wednesday's third race at Santa Anita, an allowance race at about 6 ½ furlongs on turf. Alex Solis rides.
FINISH LINES: Jerry Hauck of Studio City won Santa Anita's on-line handicapping contest ShowVivor and $2,500 first prize yesterday by selecting Red Sun, winner of Saturday's ninth race. Runner-up Edward Barengo of Albuquerque selected The Usual Q.T., who finished last in the Sunshine Millions Classic. There were 3,214 participants at the start of ShowVivor . . . John Sadler said Sidney's Candy is scheduled to work Monday at Hollywood for the Grade II $150,000 San Vicente Stakes at seven furlongs on Feb. 15, while Dave in Dixie is on course for Saturday's Grade II $150,000 Robert B. Lewis stakes at 1 1/16 miles on Saturday. Sadler, Bob Baffert and Doug O'Neill were tied for the training lead through Saturday with 12 wins each, and coincidentally, each had 58 starters for a 21 percent winning average . . . Trainer Jim Cassidy said The Usual Q.T. was in good shape Sunday morning, but bled in the Classic . . . San Rafael Stakes winner Conveyance could make his next start in either the Grade III Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park Feb. 16 or the Grade III Risen Star Stakes at the Fair Grounds on Feb. 7, trainer Baffert said. The undefeated son of 1998 Santa Anita Derby winner Indian Charlie worked five furlongs on Pro-Ride Thursday in a bullet :59.40 . . . Compari, 3-1 morning line second choice for yesterday's $500,000 Sunshine Millions Classic, was scratched because he "got a little sick," according to trainer Marty Jones . . . Tyler Baze reunites with multiple graded stakes winner Battle of Hastings for the inaugural Leroidesanimaux Handicap at one mile on turf Saturday. Baze had ridden the English-bred son of Royal Applause in each of his first nine races in the United States prior to Garrett Gomez taking over in the Hollywood Derby last Nov. 29 . . . Eclipse Award winner Julien Leparoux invades Santa Anita next weekend to ride Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Furthest Land in next Sunday's Grade II $150,000 San Antonio Handicap; Eagle Poise in Saturday's Grade II $200,000 Strub Stakes; and Cherokee Artist in the Leroidesanimoux. Probable for the Strub for 4-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles: Eagle Poise, Leparoux; Massone, Rosario; Misremembered, Victor Espinoza; Rendezvous, Rafael Bejarano; Smart Bid, Mike Smith; and Viscount, Garrett Gomez . . . Probable for next Sunday's Grade II $150,000 San Antonio Handicap for older horses at 1 1/8 miles: Furthest Land, Leparoux; Marsh Side, Rosario; Mast Track, Smith; and Richard's Kid, Gomez . . . A plethora of rank outsiders hit the board Friday, resulting in the following monster superfecta payoffs despite some short fields: first race, $18,358.60; second, $2,156.40; third, $611.70; fourth, $5,647.10; fifth, $367; sixth, $9,508.40; seventh, $818.60; and eighth, $2,233.60 . . . On Feb. 7, Super Bowl Sunday, special first post time will be 11 a.m., enabling patrons at Santa Anita to be home in time for the scheduled 3:30 p.m. kick off between NFC champion New Orleans and AFC champion Indianapolis in Super Bowl XLIV (44) . . . Weather conditions prevented racing at Laurel Park yesterday, forcing cancellation of the first Magna 5 of the season. It will be rescheduled next Saturday.

So my "Totally Mindless Chalk Use" post has led me to an additional question... what climbing etiquette should be abided by? For me, climbing etiquette involves: 1. Climbing thoughtfully. That covers a lot... but with respect to chalk (as that is what prompted this post), use chalk sparingly and only when necessary, don't leave handprints or other doodles, and do what you can to ensure you are not dropping chalk bits behind you; 2. If you are camping at large, don't camp next to someone (without their consent) just because it is a choice spot... some folks just want to be left alone; 3. If you are at a crag and there are only two other people there, don't set your anchor on top of theirs and climb the routes they are on (again, without their consent)... climb something in close proximity; 4. Pick up after yourself. "Leave no trace" is a damn good rule to live by. Also, I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to pick up the trash others have left behind; 5. Don't climb up someone's ass... not literally (again, if you have consent, go for it), but when on crowded routes be patient; 6. Keep quiet unless circumstances indicate otherwise. Lots of us like to get lost in the solitude of the rock... respect that and don't be rowdy unless rowdy is called for; 7. Don't put cigs out on the rock. It leaves a mark that is kinda ugly (imho); 8. If you add webbing, etc. to an anchor, be conscientious of what's left behind. If you add new, consider cutting and carrying away the oldest piece.... That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm certainly interested in others' ideas. Though I rarely climb with others around, might be I've been pissing a whole lot of folks off without even realizing it...
This post violated Rule #1. It has been removed by Mountain Project.
HAHAHAHHAHAH... Etiquette is important but some of this is ridiculous. 2. Unless you own the land its really not your call. Why should someone choose a lesser spot to not be near you? If you want solitude go far in somewhere and if you're lucky no one will be there. 3. Those people are certainly stupid to do that but on the flip side TRing routes, especially with groups, is quite enraging. 4. Couldn't agree more and wish more people did this. 5. Yes and no. As the second party you should always ask to pass. As the slower party you should ALWAYS say yes. Being stuck behind people who are super slow is really annoying and passing can be super safe. 6. Thats your opinion. Some people like to hoot and holler... some listen to music on a ledge or some sing. Just because its your preference does not dictate that its a rule. Think of where this sport originated from as a fringe with a bunch of hooligans. If you dont know, look it up. 8. pretty much a standard There are exceptions to every rule out there so really this kind of thing is just strange
You need to come down off your high horse. If this isn't a joke it should be . Get over yourself. Are you a preacher? Cause you sure sound like one.
This website just continues to get better and better. Great thread. 4 star post there Price.
Ah, come on mods. I didn't even get to see it before you wisked it away! I guess I just need to be quicker.
mitchy is 0 for 2
I thought mitchy's first bikini comment was kind of funny, even if rude and sexist. Not that I'm against rude and sexist. And not that I'm against being against rude and sexist...
Take care of your shit. That is all.
Aeryn, you better not come to the 'Gunks on a busy fall weekend. I don't think there would enough Haldol and benzodiazepines on the East Coast to calm you down.
I don't lead 5.8 so my opinion doesn't count around here BUT I'll run my mouth anyway. Seriously in all honesty Aeryn I thought you were a troll-- maybe you weren't and have decided to start. If you aren't then I am amazed at the variety of opinions and viewpoints out there. I shouldn't be surprised but I am. If you are for real you have opened my imagination to a whole new world of what's possibly goin' on in somebody else's head. Do you ever vocalize these opinions of yours to other climbers? I could imagine a conversation where somebody said, "If you didn't want me to set-up camp here you shouldn't have picked the spot right next to the second best spot... etc." "Don't set-up on the uber classic route everybody wants to gang-rope..." When reading this remember-- you out climb me AND without chalk!
DAYUM, Leeroy the mods must like you, Deleting my posts about you pffft. I was only kidding by the way.
i LOVE chalk, up here in NE it's hot AND humid. I have a secret little crag that i frequent, don't use a chalk ball either, just dump it in and chalk up. Effing rock, you could prooly see it from space, practically glows in the dark, chalk all over it. When it rains it all gone.
Sometimes on a short sport route I wear two chalk bags cause one aint enough.
WHOA, now that is serious shizzle.
Maybe what Aeryn is saying here is basically... respect other people's space and respect the rock. That doesn't sound too crazy to me, but maybe she just overstated it a little.
I don't even know what to say to any of this other than quit being the fun police and let others do what they will. You can't change the actions of others, but you can change your reaction to the actions of others.
Good lord I'm glad that the Saturday afternoon cragging crowd is nothing like MP. I climbers acted this petty in real life the sport would be long dead...

Native Instruments Pro-53
The Pro-53 takes what was already one of the best classic synth emulators to a whole new level with improved features and sound! The Pro-53 is the third installment from N.I. of the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 analog synth plug-in. The original Pro-Five, a VST-Instrument, was a faithful recreation of the original Prophet 5 and allowed thousands of computer-based musicians the chance at playing and performing the classic synth themselves, and for just a few hundred bucks! Following the Pro-Five came the Pro-52 which added many features bringing the plug-in up to date with more modern functions like effects, enhanced MIDI (SysEx import/export), audio inputs, and stand alone capability.
The Pro-53 is the next version, released in late 2002. It added many new exciting features. It added the all-important MIDI-learn function which lets you quickly and easily assign control knobs, sliders, etc. on your synth controllers to any of the parameters available from the front panel display of the Pro-53. The Pro-53 was also compatible with all major Mac and PC audio interface formats of the time (ASIO, DirectSound, MME, SoundManager, VST 2.0, Audio units, RTAS, DXi, DirectConnect, MAS/FreeMidi). There's also a re-designed oscillator technology giving the Pro-53 a punchy, warmer, and more dynamic sound. For a virtual instrument, it sounds very organic and is much more stable and cleaner than the original Prophet 5's aging analog circuits. The Pro-53 interface has been spruced up as well, adding larger knobs and few new ones too.
The filter has new features including a switch to invert the filter envelopes, and a new high-pass filter. There was a new LFO-Envelope-Retrigger function which retriggers the envelope with each new cycle of the LFO wave for interesting animated and colorful sounds. The Amplifier section featured a new Hold button which latches any notes played so you can free up your hands to tweak sounds while hearing their effects in real-time. Linear and circular knob control modes allow you to customize the Pro-53 to your ergonomic preference. In linear mode the mouse moves up or down to adjust the knobs; in circular mode the white notch on the knob follows the mouse as you drag it around the knob, clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The NI logo is actually a pull-down menu holding most valuable functions including the MIDI Learn mode, controllermaps, microtuning settings, and other plug-in settings. It has been used by Hans Zimmer. Although Native Instruments has discontinued the Pro-53, its sound sets, patches, etc. are still available from NI's user database.

Also still a big fan of Audio Simulation's Dreamstation DXi synth. How come these 2 oldies don't alias like the new VSTi's, yet are only approx 0.5% per voice on CPU load?
Like other VA VSTi offerings, the Pro-53 PALES in comparison to the real thing. Just listen to the demos here, and behold the thin-sounding, lifeless Pro-53 filter. Where is the sizzle?
Analog emulations are still not there. They only work in productions in a limited capacity.
U-He's Diva gets a lot closer to GOOD, but even better is a Prophet 08. Go and LISTEN to one and you'll see what I mean.
I spent months building a keyboard with a pc inside and a tft on the front loaded up vst and a shed full of plugs and took it out for a jam. sounded great on its own until the others joined in then it just sounded wrong.Through an amp it was just too thin no depth, didn't even do as well as some sad bit of 90s digital kit.

Friday, Jan. 8 – 62-56 loss vs North Florida

The Chicago Bears have traded away two first round draft picks, along with two second-rounders, in the past two NFL drafts. Could they go and do such a thing again? To hear general manager Jerry Angelo tell it, don't rule it out:
I know the question will come up: Will you trade up, will you trade down? We're always going to be flexible. We always have. Trading down is easier to do and if there's enough players on the board when it's our pick [and] it makes sense, then it's something we would consider very seriously.
Chicago is set to pick No. 29 in this year's first round and No. 62 in the second. You'll note those picks are near the ends of their respective rounds, so trades down out of those spots would likely mean exiting a round. In SB Nation's most recent 2011 NFL mock draft, Brian Galliford has the Bears taking OT Derek Sherrod and DT Drake Nevis.
For more Bears, join Windy City Gridiron and SB Nation Chicago. For more NFL Draft, join Mocking The Draft.

Some artists sometimes come up with the funniest names. These Polish friends have me scratching my head thinking WTF were they thinking when they decided to call them selves POL_ON. Despite the strange name, the production team of Kacper Bogacz and Michał Piotrowski, are putting out some dope tracks. They just dropped a single on Freerange, but it's really this, "Molala" track on Pets Recordings (Catz&Dogz label) from last month, that I can't get out of my head.
Good stuff!

Article by: Sandy Block, MW - It's amazing how unknown the wines of Alsace remain throughout the United States. Of all of France's classic districts, these cool climate northern wines are among the most consistent in quality, especially in the context of their compatibility with seafood. They're also remarkably easy to understand because, unlike most French wines, Alsatian labels rely primarily on varietal identification rather than geographical place names. The region's stellar reputation, built on dry white wines, relates directly to [...] Read More »

Article by: Harvey Finkel. MD - Scientific evidence has been accruing for nearly half a century supporting the healthfulness of wine in moderate doses. Initially, population (epidemiologic) studies endorsed folk experience. Then ethyl alcohol, contained in common with other beverages, was deemed to supply a major share of the health benefits. But both strengthening some of alcohol's salutary effects and providing others particularly their own, polyphenolic compounds, many of them antioxidants, derived chiefly from grape skins, have been the focus of [...] Read More »

For the most part, it was a wonderful experience. Cherished memories. Memories made within our group. NOT because of Princess staff. The ship and offerings were beautiful and fun.
The entertainment was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the movies under the stars. Shows and movie in the Princess theater were a great way to spend the evening.
Breakfast at Sabatini's was relaxing and delicious. The service was top notch it was an incredible early morning experience.
In Skagway, we took the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad excursion to the top of the mountain. It was relaxing, informative, and beautiful. We took a ton of beautiful pictures. Be aware the return trip is along the same track as on the way up. You see each point of interest twice.
In Juneau there was free transportation from the terminal to Wal-Mart.
Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan are beautiful and friendly. We chose leisurely walk around and enjoy each port. The souvenir shopping was a lot of fun if you like little gadgets. There are lots and lots of other items to purchase. We also saw a lot of food and clothing items.
With great anticipation of our adventure, I spoke with several Princess Representatives. Most of the information I received was accurate and only fueled my excitement and anticipation.
I asked over several calls about the best time to arrive to meet the transfer from Anchorage airport to the cruise terminal in Whittler. (We flew in a few days prior) I wanted to limit our wait time. I was told transfers directly from the airport to the ship leave starting at noon and leave about ever 1/2 hour so there should never be much of a wait. I asked that notation be made on our reservation that we will arrive to take the noon shuttle.
We arrived at the airport about 11:20 am in anticipation of catching the noon shuttle. The female was pleasant but told us we had to wait for the 1:00 pm shuttle. Of course we did...but over 1 1/2 hours waiting in the airport?
Embarkation was unbelievably smooth and quick. YIPPIE.
Our cabin was absolutely beautiful as we anticipated! It was fabulous and exactly what we planned as we were celebrating with our group and anticipated spending lots of time in our cabin.
Our cabin steward was attentive, and wonderful. He was crucial in making our in cabin experience wonderful. Along with his normal/usual duties, Allan kept us in ice & clean glasses, helped decorate for the celebration. He made restaurants aware of the events which allowed from birthday cakes at dinner. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you Allan.
We were advised the cover at two of the restaurants was waived for the first two nights. We decided not to take advantage of those offers because we chose to spend time with members of our group. It seems that privilege could/should have been available to use at our discretion at any time throughout the cruise.
When making our reservations at the Sterling Steakhouse, the Matre D was incredibly rude. I asked his name, he covered his nametag and repeated his name twice very quickly. It was something like Demitri.
We enjoyed our meal at the Sterling Steakhouse during our reserved time. Our server Chip and other staff were very attentive. The steaks were incredible absolutely incredible.
I decided to use the automated kiosk to check the balance due. Though I followed the directions on the kiosk, no report was received. I attempted this several times, a nearby crewmember assisted with the same results. The screen was dark on the other kiosk. He directed me to an adjacent desk for assistance.
At the desk I explained what happened. The female seemed unhappy because of the interruption and explained the directions for using the kiosk in less than pleasant tone. I explained again it was inoperative. She exhaled sharply before swiping my card and generating the requested report. (I learned of an error on the report which was promptly corrected by another staff member)
I approached the grill at the Horizon court at the same time as a male. We both requested sandwiches. A second male arrived and placed an order for a sandwich. When the first two sandwiches were ready. The person working the grill gave the first male French fries he just removed from the fryer. He looked at me, dumped the fresh fries in the holding area, mixed them with the fries that had been there, and gave me a batch. He told the male behind me "It will be a couple of minutes for fresh fries (There were more fries in the holding area than I was given) the male behind me told him that he will wait.
Our group regularly enjoyed breakfast at the Horizon buffet. The made to order omelets and fresh fruit were spectacular.
Often our group would choose a table. Several individuals would visit the buffet while others waited at the table in hopes of having coffee, water and juice ready when the others returned. Rarely did we receive timely or non-requested service. It was difficult to watch other parties take their seats after us and promptly receive staff attention where they received coffee, juice or water.
Often we regularly had to flag someone down for service or self-service. It was truly a disheartening experience to which we did not look forward. But we had to eat and dining options were limited.
While waiting for disembarkation directions, a female announced from outside the restaurant that our group was ready to disembark. She stated, if our luggage tag was what she called to see her for directions. I approached her outside the location as directed and asked for directions/instructions. In a less than pleasant tone, she asked if my entire party was ready. I explained my partner was in the restroom and I would like to have the instructions when she is ready. The female told me to come ask her again when my party was ready.
Within a couple of minutes we were ready and searched the area. The female was nowhere to be found. We disembarked following the crowd.
In the terminal, it was determined we were in the incorrect location. We were directed through and around several barriers to the correct location.
Once aboard the transfer our driver told us about the only woman forklift driver in the terminal. Two weeks in a row she carried and spilled cantaloupes as she drove. He ended by chuckling and telling us that she is no longer works for Princess. What was the point of the story? What was the point in telling us the driver was a woman?
We were advised several times we will receive feedback forms from Princess within a couple of days of disembarkation. The importance of Princess receiving that information was emphasized No one in our group has received and such documentation. I have emailed customer service twice. Our disembarkation was Saturday August 17.
Based on our overall experience, this was the last time I will look to Princess for a wonderful overall vacation experience.

The Ottawa Senators came into the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals as heavy underdogs to the No. 1 seed New York Rangers. After a 2-0 win on Saturday in Game 5, they will head back to Canada with a chance to eliminate the Rangers.
Craig Anderson stopped all 41 shots he faced for a shutout in his finest performance of the series, and the Senators stymied the Rangers with the Blueshirts' own trademark stinginess.
Jason Spezza, who had not previously scored in the series, had both goals on the night for the Senators, with one staking them to a 1-0 lead in the first period and another coming on an empty net in the game's final minute.
New York's Henrik Lundqvist had 29 saves, but could not make up for a Rangers offense that struggled to solve Anderson and went 0-for-4 on the power play.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurologic disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS). Although MS is a long-term and serious condition, many people live full, successful, and satisfying lives with the disorder. Most people with MS have a normal or near-normal life span. Many people with MS do not become severely physically disabled.
An unpredictable disease of the central nervous system, multiple sclerosis (MS) can range from relatively benign to somewhat disabling to devastating, as communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted. Many investigators believe MS to be an autoimmune disease -- one in which the body, through its immune system, launches a defensive attack against its own tissues. In the case of MS, it is the nerve-insulating myelin that comes under assault. Such assaults may be linked to an unknown environmental trigger. Most people experience their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40.
If you have multiple sclerosis (MS), exercise can help retain flexibility and balance, promote cardiovascular fitness and a sense of well-being, and prevent complications from inactivity. Exercise also helps regulate appetite, bowel movements and sleep patterns.
Jogging, walking and aerobic exercises are helpful when strength and coordination are not affected. Stationary bicycle riding may be more practical if walking or balance is impaired. Swimming is helpful for stretching and cardiovascular fitness. Yoga and Tai Chi are most useful for stretching and promoting a sense of well-being. Your physical and occupational therapists will assist you in selecting the best exercise program for you to follow.
Stress Reduction
Although stress cannot be totally eliminated from our lives, we can learn to manage it more effectively. Any reduction in stress will be associated with an improved sense of well-being and increased energy. A psychologist or social worker may be helpful in developing a stress management program that is tailored to your needs. The following are some useful stress reduction techniques:
• Identify causes of stress in your life and share your thoughts and feelings.
• Simplify your responsibilities by setting priorities.
• Try relaxation and meditation exercises.
• Manage your time and conserve your energy.
• Ask for help when needed.
• Set both short-term and life goals for yourself.
• Keep as active as possible both physically and mentally.
• Recognize the things that you cannot change and don't waste your time trying.
• Make time for fun activities and maintain your sense of humor.
Good nutrition maximizes your energy, general sense of well being.

Eagles Kickoff 2008 Season on Friday Night
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Florida Gulf Coast University women's soccer team begins its 2008 season this weekend. The Eagles play host to FAU on Friday night at 7:00 pm, August 22 at the FGCU Soccer Complex, and hit the road for a match at FIU, Sunday, August 24 at 7:00 pm.
Florida Atlantic @ Florida Gulf Coast
7 p.m. Friday August 22
FGCU Soccer Complex
This will be the first meeting between the in state foes on Friday night. The Eagles went 11-7 overall and 7-4 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, and finished an impressive third in the Atlantic Sun in their 2007 inaugural season. The 2008 roster is dominated by underclassmen, but the Eagles return the 2007 Atlantic Sun Freshman of the year, Lindsay Haw, and Amber McCall who earned A-Sun First team accolades.
Heading into their second year in the Atlantic Sun Conference, the FGCU women's soccer team was selected to finish third in the preseason women's soccer poll. FGCU midfielder Amber McCall was also selected to the All-Conference team. McCall started all 18 matches last season and scored 10 goals while dishing out four assists. She scored 24 points and also scored four game winners. She was a first team All-A-Sun selection following her sophomore season at FGCU.
The Sun Belt Conference coaches picked Florida Atlantic to finish fifth among the league's 12-teams in the SBC preseason poll. The Owls return the majority of a strong defensive side from 2007, but must find a way to replace the bulk of its offensive production. FAU loses five key players who accounted for 24 of FAU's 28 goals in 2007 - helping the Owls post its eighth-straight winning season under 10th-year head coach Brian Dooley.
Florida Gulf Coast @ Florida International
7:00 p.m. Sunday August 24
In last year's meeting, the Eagles overcame an early score in the second period by the Panthers to win a thrilling 3-2 match in overtime at the FGCU Soccer Complex. Freshman Lindsay Haw scored the game winning goal in the 91st minute and was named the Embassy Suites Kick-Off Classic tournament MVP.
The Sun Belt Conference coaches picked Florida International to finish ninth among the league's 12-teams in the SBC preseason poll. The Panthers roster is also dominated by underclassmen, but returns their leading scorer, Claudia Cardenas. FIU finished last season 3-11-3, and 1-8-2 in the Sun Belt.

Candler Evangelical Society
Evangelical. What does it mean to be Evangelical? How do Evangelicals view the world, humanity, and salvation through Jesus Christ? Are there "liberal" Evangelicals versus "conservative" Evangelicals? And what's the difference? So many good questions!
Wrestling with what is means to be Evangelical and how this relates to all one's relationships and work in the world is a big part of the work of the Candler Evangelical Society (CES). In the United States, there are positive connotations to the "E word," evangelical.
Ben Gosden is a second-year MDiv Student at Candler and the President of CES. About the CES, Ben writes,
In and through our involvement at Candler we desire to reach out to the community and, hopefully, work to change the skewed view of what being evangelical means. Our view is one of love for ALL people, recognition of all human equality under God, and that salvation through Jesus Christ not only includes us with God in the world to come, but also that we are to work, in and through the Holy Spirit, to establish that world right where we are.
The term "evangelical" is a fairly new invention, considering the 2000 year history of the Christian faith. The term showed up in the middle ages, and only appeared in English in 1531. Given it's short history, the term has had many definitions and permutations.
Today, Evangelicals are not monolithic, but are multi-faceted. For instance, among other things, the Candler Evangelical Society is committed to challenging the notion that Evangelicals are inactive in the world in terms of works of love and justice. Last week, students from the CES made over 500 sandwiches for the Open Door Community, a Christian ministry to homeless people in Atlanta.
CES has also been active in promoting a panel discussion about people of faith and health care reform that includes professors from Theology, Public Health, and other Emory departments. CES is also set to host Bishop Will Willimon (Candler grad '73) for a talk in November.
There's a lot going on at the CES–check out their Facebook Page (search for "Candler Evangelical Society") and the video below, from their Kickoff Lunch.
So what does "evangelical" mean to you?

The Biggest Lie
It was always an honor and a pleasure when Tony would invite me to sing on one of his solo records or a No Use for a Name album. It was easy and fun to work with him and the lads, and I will always be especially grateful for the time they gave me the the lead singing role for the Sinead O'Connor song, "This is a Rebel Song."
Back in the day, we did a lot of touring together, Dance Hall Crashers and NUFAN, and it was a good fit because everyone got along really
On the Outside
We were on a Fat Wreck package tour in 2000, it was NUFAN, Tilt, Snuff, Mad Caddies & Consumed. We went across Europe together taking in France, Spain, Portugal & Italy. It was in Italy where we were playing a venue next door to a five-a-side football (soccer) pitch. Having had numerous chats on the virtues of footy with Tony on this tour he was keen to ask the venue if we could have a kick around on said pitch.
Long story short, it ended up with a challenge
Back in the days when Leche Con Carne and Making Friends came out, No Use For A Name were a huge inspiration for the Donots. "Invincible" was always our favorite track of that era. It pretty much summed up everything we liked about NUFAN and Tony's songwriting: That up-tempo energy of the rhythm section, the drive and great solo bits of the bass and guitars and some of the catchiest melodies of that time. Tony always had an amazing sense of melancholy in his melodies and
Pre-Medicated Murder
"Pre-Medicated Murder" is not only one of our favorite NUFAN and Tony Sly songs but its also one of our favorite songs to perform live. During the recording process it was important for us to step away from the tragedy and embrace the celebration of Tony's music. Josh Garcia engineered the track at Motor Studios, which was incredibly fitting considering Josh's recent touring history with NUFAN. "Pre-Medicated Murder" and the rest of Tony's expansive

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- A teen from Normal charged with murder pleads not guilty as prosecutors reveal the shooting was the result of a game of Russian roulette.
Last month, Lar'ron Carroll, 17, was charged with six felony counts, including first-degree murder, for the death of Bloomington teen Kuantrae "Trae" Massey, 16.
McLean County Prosecutor Bill Workman said, on January 21, Carroll put a bullet in the chamber of the pistol and pulled the trigger at someone present in the Danbury Court apartment.
It did not fire.
Carroll then pointed the gun at Massey shooting the teen in the chest. He died a short time later at a local hospital.
A status hearing has been set for April 4.

ST GEORGE'S, Grenada (CMC) - A 49-year-old man will re-appear in court here on November 1 charged with 76 counts of sexually assaulting his two step daughters over a nine year period.
Police said that Reynold Pierre was charged with 28 and 48 counts respectively of carnal knowledge. He was not requested to plead since the charges have been laid indictably when he appeared in court on Thursday.
Pierre has been released on EC$10,000 (One EC dollar = US).37 cents) bail. The two children have since been removed from the home.
In July, parliament approved an amendment to the Criminal Code which provides for a maximum of 30 years imprisonment for anyone convicted of sex offences.

Commercial Driver License Applicants To Pay Skills Test Fee Starting Sept. 5
Date of News Release: 08/30/2006
(FRANKFORT, Ky.)--- Starting September 5, 2006, applicants for a commercial driver license (CDL) in Kentucky will have to pay a skills testing fee in addition to the $11 CDL permit fee.
Beginning Tuesday, a driver who has held a Kentucky operator's license or permit for 30 days or longer will pay a skills testing fee of $50 in addition to the permit fee. A driver who has held a Kentucky operator's license or permit for less than 30 days will pay a skills testing fee of $150 in addition to the permit fee.
The fee does not apply to renewal or duplication of CDL permits.
Circuit clerk offices will collect the fees at the time of permit issuance. The Kentucky State Police will continue to administer both the written and skills tests. The money collected from the fees will be placed in the Kentucky State Police CDL skills testing fund, said Lt. Adam Whitlock, assistant commander of the KSP Driver Testing Branch.
"The new fee schedule was mandated by House Bill 707 during the 2006 Kentucky Legislative Assembly in an effort to shorten the waiting time for obtaining a commercial driver license," said Whitlock. "The money collected from the fee schedule will be used to contract additional CDL examiners to administer the skills test."
KSP Commissioner John (Jack) Adams said the fee change will streamline the procedure for obtaining a commercial driver license in Kentucky.
"This program will allow the Kentucky State Police to put licenses in the hands of trained commercial drivers in a more efficient manner," said Adams. "That's better for the drivers and better for the economy of Kentucky."
The new fee schedule applies to applicants for commercial driver licenses at the nine KSP testing sites across the state and the 15 commercial driver training schools operated by private companies, said Whitlock.
"Regardless of where the drivers receive their training, all CDL applicants will be required to pay the skills testing fee," he said.
For more information about the CDL and the testing fees, call the KSP Driver Testing Branch at (502) 226-7404.

Fish are here to catch at Delacroix. The only problem is the water is sooooooo low, navigating it can be hazardous.
Oak River is holding trout, and fishermen can catch them with avocado, black and charturese, or green soft plastics fished flush and slow on the bottom.
Speckled trout are moving to the flats as the day wears on and the water heats up. I recommend the guys fish them 20-24 inches under a popping cork.
Chartreuse sparkle beetles and the Opening Night color are working best in the cleaner waters while purple or black are working best in tainted water.

Grace Bradley went to work at Riverton House as a servant when
she was just a girl, before the First World War. For years her life
was inextricably tied up with the Hartford family, most
particularly the two daughters, Hannah and Emmeline.
In the summer of 1924, at a glittering society party held at the
house, a young poet shot himself. The only witnesses were Hannah
and Emmeline and only they -- and Grace -- know the truth.
In 1999, when Grace is ninety-eight years old and living out her
last days in a nursing home, she is visited by a young director who
is making a film about the events of that summer. She takes Grace
back to Riverton House and reawakens her memories. Told in
flashback, this is the story of Grace''s youth during the last days
of Edwardian aristocratic privilege shattered by war, of the
vibrant twenties and the changes she witnessed as an entire way of
life vanished forever.
The novel is full of secrets -- some revealed, others hidden
forever, reminiscent of the romantic suspense of Daphne du Maurier.
It is also a meditation on memory, the devastation of war and a
beautifully rendered window into a fascinating time in history.
Originally published to critical acclaim in Australia, already
sold in ten countries and a #1 bestseller in England, The House
at Riverton is a vivid, page-turning novel of suspense and
passion, with characters -- and an ending -- the reader won''t soon
