Pro Silverlight 4 In VB
samzenpus posted more than 3 years ago | from the read-all-about-it dept.181
jddp writes "MacDonald is a programmer's programmer, and Pro Silverlight 4 in VB is a model of what a programmer's guide should be. He explains a mass of technical information in considerable detail without losing the big-picture. His clear and concise exposition of concepts and functionality is never confusing or needlessly repetitive. The book's organization is logical, yet the chapters can be read in isolation, as the need or interest arises." Keep reading for the rest of jddp's review.One thing this book doesn't provide is an overview of the subject for a novice trying to get the big-picture. After the briefest of introductions (10 pages), the author leaps right into building applications. Nor does it provide every technical detail you will need to complete your application. (That's why we have the web). However, if you want a book that can take you from having a rough map of the territory to being a self-sufficient Silverlight developer, I highly recommend this one.
Starting from the fundamentals of Silverlight such as XAML, Layout and Elements, McDonald rarely puts a step wrong as he winds through the technical details, progressing to specific functional areas such as such as Animation, Data Binding and Web services. Each chapter provides a brief overview of the functionality addressed before stepping through the programming details. His code examples are concise, but also convey the significance and use of the features very clearly. The examples do not sprawl across pages and pages, as in weaker tutorials, but they do build upon one another when necessary. Working code implementing the examples from the text is available at MacDonald's personal site for anyone to download — but apparently only in C# (as far as I could see. The VB version may be coming later, just as the VB book lagged the C# version). Due to the intelligent choice, structuring and clear implementation of his examples, I have found them a useful jumping-off point for "real-life" applications on several occasions. The author has gone beyond the scope of the book in at least one case, implemented an "advanced" capability (support for large file up/downloads via a Web Service) that I was specifically interested in.
As mentioned, the book does not contain an extensive technology overview and this is reflected by the absence of many of the buzzwords associated with Silverlight from the index. You will find no mention of RIA services. MVVM is only touched upon in the context of the new SL 4 support for the Command pattern. (Even so, his brief explanation is a great example of MacDonald's lucid and economical expository style. You could trawl the web for a long time without finding such a straightforward explanation.) However, while MacDonald does not attempt to convey any over-arching architectural vision, he is perfectly capable of clarifying some abstract design concepts. In Chapter 4 of the book he is already tackling the intimidating-sounding topics of Dependency Properties, Attached Properties and Routed Events. By the time you've read a few pages you're wondering what all the fuss was about. After less than six pages, MacDonald is working through a meaningful application of attached properties (a custom layout panel). Most of the chapter is devoted a detailed explanation and illustration of Mouse and Keyboard event handling, and to the new Commanding support in SL 4.
A final caveat: This is not a book for someone wanting to catch up on what's new in Silverlight 4. The information is there, but it is dispersed among the relevant sections of the old book, and there is no helpful index. Contrary to the impression given by the back-cover, the very occasional "What's New" boxes don't help much in homing in on new features. In fact, the organization of the material and most of the content is unchanged from the SL 3 edition, so I wouldn't buy this if you already have that book.
While reading this book, I sometimes wished for a wider view: discussions of the merits of different architectures; comparisons to design patterns used in other technologies, and so forth. This book will not be much help in defining the architecture for your next mega-app. This is a book to seize on when you need to get a handle on programming specific Silverlight features fast. You won't learn about every possible shortcut or dead-end on the trail, but you will never have to wonder where the heck you are.
While this book it isn't all things to all developers, it is hard to overstate its consistent intelligence and clarity, or its sheer usefulness (to programmers). Programmers just aren't supposed to be so articulate – are they?

Despite a first round loss to Mercer I think K is pretty safe, however there are already a couple of other opening in league as V-Tech and BC have already fired their HCs.
VPI just announced that our old buddy Buzz is moving over from 'quette. I guess its better to helm a bottom feeder in a P5 than an upper tier mid major program
ESPiN also reports that Jim Calhoooooooon is very interested in the BC gig. If he gets/takes it, how big an LOL is that in the direction of Storrs?
Any chance Jay Wright jumps to Wake or Rollie takes over at G Tech?

Photo Gallery: 2014 Saleen 351 Supercharged Mustang
At the Saleen Open House and Car Show this past weekend the company had many of their latest vehicles on display including the 2014 George Follmer Edition Mustang as well as the 351 Supercharged Mustang Prototype. Inside their facility, though, we spotted one of the very first production models – number three – of the 351 Supercharged Mustang. The company announced back in July that production of the new flagship model had begun, and this silver coupe is proof that it's now well underway.
This production 351 Supercharged Mustang also provided some new insight into the technical details of the car, specifically the 351ci V8. At the time of the prototype's unveiling back in April few details about the engine were released, but now we have some more information as well as photos. Under the hood is a variant of the Shelby GT500′s 5.4-liter V8 punched out a few more cubic inches to coincide with the 351 moniker. Instead of the factory supercharger a Kenne Bell 2.8L twin-screw blower now resides on top fitted with a 10-rib pulley, dual 75mm throttle body and mammoth air inlet. The result is 700 horsepower and 655 lb-ft torque.
One other noticeable feature of this production 351 Supercharged Mustang are the seats. Unlike the prototype, which had modified versions of the stock seats, this car uses the optional Recaro seats as a base with Alcantara and leather inserts and Saleen embroidery in the headrest.
You can see the 2014 Saleen 351 Supercharged Mustang in detail in our photo gallery below.

50's Gretsch Dearmond Dynasonic Pickup#1 Vintage Nice
Gretsch Vintage 1970s Southern Belle New Old Stock Electric Guitar G7670
Vintage DeArmond Dynasonic pickup. This is an original 50's pickup from a Gretsch Jet, Country Club, Annie, etc. Sometimes called the "valve spring" pickup for the way the pole pieces are sprung on the bottom. Tone for days... It was originally a gold pickup but the gold plating is worn. The gold could easily be worked down to the nickel with a little elbow grease. This one reads 9.10, see pic of the pickup on my meter.
This auction is for this pickup ONLY. I have the matching pair, the last two pictures are the two together for comparison. See my other auctions for the other pickup.
Thanks for looking!

The tour, in reference to Roger's voice, will be called the Use It Or Lose It tour.
On the 11th, Pete Townshend writes a love letter to the people at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth in their quarterly journal, praising them for their work on the stage version of Quadrophenia. "All the time I have been working there I have had the pleasure of seeing young people rolling in and out on educational programmes, all of them glancing sideways at what is going on in TR2 where actors only a few years older than they are singing and dancing like young gods."
On the 18th, Rhino Records releases the CD boxset Woodstock – 40 Years On: Back To Yasgur's Farm. It contains the first official releases of "Amazing Journey" and the complete "We're Not Gonna Take It" from that performance.
On the 25th, Pete pens an entry at thewho.com announcing that he is working on a new musical to be called Floss. The story is: "Walter, a straight-cut pub rock musician, is able to retire when one of his songs becomes the TV anthem of a big car company. He becomes a house-husband while his wife Floss devotes herself to a riding stables and stud. When he tries to return to music after a fifteen year hiatus, he finds that what he hears and what he composes evoke the ecologically rooted, apocalyptic mindset of his generation. Shaken by this and torn by personal difficulties, he and Floss become estranged. A series of dramatic events in a hospital emergency ward bring them both to their senses.". Pete claims some of the songs will be on a new Who album coming out in 2010 and the entire work will premiere in concert in 2011. To date, Floss has not yet appeared in any form.

August 1989 (25 years ago)
New album releases: "Steel Wheels" - The Rolling Stones; "Brain Drain" - The Ramones
The Who 25th Anniversary North American tour begins the month taking a break while they try to find out why Roger is having intense pain when he sings. Roger: "I had something wrong with me from birth on the inside that all of a sudden had come to life. It was called a hemangioma, which is a bunch of varicose veins in my guts. I'm okay now; I had it all cut out. On that tour when I started singing and all the blood would go down because you start pumping your diaphragm, the thing would blow up like a balloon. It stopped me eating. I lost so much weight. God, I was ill on that tour."
With no quick fix available, Roger decides to tough it out and the tour resumes at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on the 5th followed by a three-night stand at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia on the 7th, 8th and 9th, then Busch Stadium in St. Louis on the 11th and Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado on the 13th.

On the 16th, Pete joins the list of injured players during The Who's show at the Tacomadome in Tacoma, Washington. A loose tremolo bar impales Pete's hand in mid-windmill during the conclusion of "Won't Get Fooled Again", driving the bar through the webbing between the fourth and fifth fingers. He is rushed to hospital where he gets stitched up. The rest of the band continues with the encore absent their pierced axeman.
Pete, now wearing a hand brace, returns with The Who at the next show on the 18th at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver. There is another show at this venue on the 19th followed by a trip down to San Diego, California to play Jack Murphy Stadium on the 22nd.

Roger spends this month at shooting his new feature film McVicar, while using his private helicopter to wisk him to Shepperton Studios for rehearsals with The Who.
On the 16th, the movie version of Quadrophenia goes into general release. Arriving just as the retro-Mod movement is reaching its peak in the U.K., Quadrophenia the movie becomes a cult favorite and provides a collection of iconic scenes that will have influence in Britain thirty-five years later. Sting begins his acting career with this movie and a host of future British movie and television actors such as Ray Winstone, Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash and Philip Davis get their start here.
Two days later The Who Roar In headlining an all-day concert at Wembley Stadium in London. The other acts at the day-long show are AC/DC, Nils Lofgren and, oddly enough, The Stranglers, the punk band that had been in a back-and-forth sniping war with Pete in Melody Maker two years earlier. The Who's show is less exciting than it could be as the Greater London Council forces them to turn their volume down and even limits their laser show.
On the 24th, drummer and future new age musician James Asher releases the single "Peppermint Lump" backed with "Breakfast In Naples" under the name Angie. The single features Pete on guitar and backing vocals. He is also pictured on the front and back of the single's picture sleeve. The single fails to chart.

Pete decides to accompany Eric Clapton on his comeback concert tour of the United States to provide support for the still shaky musician. That bastion of sobriety, Keith Moon, also tags along. The two join Eric onstage at The Omni in Atlanta on the 1st for performances of "Layla," "Baby Don't You Do It" and "Little Queenie." After the show, Keith's new girlfriend Annette Walter-Lax witnesses her first hotel room destruction as Keith remodels a room at the Omni Hotel.
On the 2nd Pete accompanies Eric at the Greensboro, North Carolina Coliseum for "Willie And The Hand Jive" and "Get Ready". Keith joins them for "Layla," "Badge" and "Little Queenie." Then on the 4th they all appear at the Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida and are joined by Joe Walsh. Clapton, Townshend and Walsh perform "Layla" and "Little Queenie" and Keith comes out to sing "I Can't Explain."
After this show, Pete returns to London and Keith and Annette go to the Beverly Wilshire as part of Keith's plan to become a tax exile. Although the British press assume that Keith is another tax exile, Keith says the real reason is that all his friends have now moved to California.
On the 2nd, Billy Nicholls' LP Love Songs, with an engineering credit for Pete on "Helpless Helpless," is released in the U.K.
Dave Marsh writes a long ruminative piece on the ten years of The Who for Creem magazine.

On the 19th, the Harry Nilsson album Pussy Cats, produced by John Lennon and featuring drumming by Keith on some tracks, is released in the U.S. It peaks at #60. The U.K. edition is released on the 30th but does not chart.
On the 21st, principal photography for Tommy is completed with sequences shot on Hayling Island and Southsea Beach near the Lifeboat Café. Final cost for the movie: $3.5 million.
On the 23rd, Keith celebrates his 28th birthday at a party at the Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles. Attending are Rod Stewart, Linda Blair, Linda Lovelace, Brian Wilson (barefoot and wearing a bathrobe) and 1500 others. MCA Records gives Keith the suit Robert Redford wore in the movie The Sting. The Stampeders perform, joined at one point by Keith, Jesse Ed Davis, Harry Nillson, Nikki Barclay and Patti Quatro who perform terrible renditions of "Don't Worry Baby" and "Good Golly Miss Molly" before the hotel management pulls the plug to everyone's relief.
On the 29th, Pete is interviewed by Melvyn Bragg at BBC Television Centre, London. The interview later airs with the television showing of the recent Charlton concert and is used throughout the movie The Kids Are Alright.
On the same day Keith flies back to London for further dubbing work on Tommy.
August 1969 (45 years ago)
New album releases: "Stand Up" - Jethro Tull; "The Stooges" - The Stooges; "Barbajagal" - Donovan; "Blind Faith" - Blind Faith; "Green River" - Creedence Clearwater Revival; "Santana" - Santana
On the 2nd, Keith denies to Record Mirror that he plans to leave The Who.
That settled, the Who continue to squeeze in some British play dates before returning to the U.S. On the 2nd, they play the Winter Gardens in Eastbourne followed by the Cosmopolitan Ballroom in Carlisle (2rd), The Pavilion in Bath (4th) and Assembly Hall in Worthing (7th).
On the 9th, The Who play their first outdoor show in the U.K. since 1966 at the Plumpton Racecourse in Lewes, Sussex as part of the 9th National Jazz Pop Ballads & Blues Festival. Yes, King Crimson and Roy Harper are among the opening acts. Keith sits in with the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band playing drums as "The Lone Arranger." Melody Maker in their review of the festival calls The Who "the most exciting rock band in the world."
On the 10th, The Who fly back to New York and on the 12th, open for Jefferson Airplane at the Tanglewood Music Shed in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. B.B. King plays before The Who. This is the first rock concert held at the summer home of the Boston Symphony.
On the 16th, Thunderclap Newman's "Something In The Air," produced by Pete and with him on bass, hits the U.S. charts. It peaks at #37 in Billboard and #45 in Cash Box.
On the same day The Who arrive by helicopter in Woodstock, New York for the Woodstock Festival. It is at this point that they are informed that the festival has been moved to Bethel, New York some forty miles away. The Who, along with Pete's wife Karen and infant daughter Emma and Roger's future wife Heather, set off by car. Pete: ""people coming up to me - 'You're going to Woodstock? You're crazy. Turn back, go home, there's millions of people there, the food's poisonous and the water...' Well, I immediately got into an incredible state and I rejected everyone. I wouldn't talk to anyone. And I was telling really nice people like Richie Havens to fuck off and things like that. And it just got to a point where when we finally did get out of the helicopter and the helicopter never arrived and we eventually got in a queue of cars it took about six hours to get there. Well, we got there and then we waited another ten hours in the mud; the first cup of coffee I had had acid in it. I could fucking taste it." Now that they are in a really bad mood, the promoters tell the band that, since Woodstock is now a "free festival", they do not have the money on hand to pay them but can write them a check. The Who will have none of it leading to a fourteen-hour standoff as The Who refuse to take the stage. Finally a bank manager is flown in by helicopter with money, the standoff ends, and The Who take the stage at 4AM. Pete lets out some of his fury by kicking Michael Wadleigh, on stage filming the acts as part of his documentary Woodstock. The Who then run quickly through "Heaven and Hell" and "I Can't Explain" before launching into Tommy. All the fury and tension come out through their instruments as The Who blaze through the rock opera in a spectacular performance captured by Wadleigh's cameras.
At the conclusion of "Pinball Wizard", radical firebrand Abbie Hoffman runs out and grabs Pete's microphone to announce, "I think this is all a pile of shit while John Sinclair rots in prison!", referring to the manager of the Detroit rock band MC5 who got ten years in prison for possession of two marijuana joints. The Who are friends with the MC5 but Pete is in no mood for interruptions. "Fuck off my fucking stage!", he yells, and pokes Hoffman in the back of the head with his guitar neck causing Hoffman to retire from the microphone. Pete in 1970: "Quite honestly, I mean knock for knock, everything Abbie Hoffman said was very fair. Because I did hit him, he must have felt it for a couple of months after." Audio exists of the incident but, for some unknown reason, it is either not filmed or the film has been lost. A search of the outtakes in 1976 by Jeff Stein and Woodstock editor Thelma Schoonmaker found no trace of it.
The sun comes up just as The Who reach "See Me Feel Me" and it is the first time the members of the band see the size of the crowd, a half million people stretching off to the horizon. Finally realizing the importance of the event, The Who put their all into the finale. After they play the new long version of "My Generation", Pete tosses his guitar into the crowd as the band walks off. The Who's roadies run out into the audience and quickly retrieve the guitar. Footage of The Who's performance at Woodstock is included in the movies Woodstock and The Kids Are Alright.
On the 18th, Tommy becomes The Who's first album to be certified gold in the U.S. by the RIAA.
Five days after Woodstock, on the 22nd, The Who are back in England performing at the Music Hall in Shrewsbury. Afterwards Keith begins an early celebration of his 23rd birthday and ends up breaking his foot after falling down the stairs.
The Who were to have played at the Grays Festival Marquee in the Brentwood Road, Grays, Essex on the 23rd but they show up only to apologize for having to cancel because of Keith's busted foot.
On the 23rd, "I'm Free" hits its peak on the Billboard charts at #23, holding that position the next week.
With a new supply of high-powered painkillers, Keith accompanies The Who to Hamburg, Germany on the 26th for two days of recording a Beat Club television special about the new rock opera, miming to the record over chroma-keyed pinball tables and stills from the Tommy booklet. Pete is also interviewed in English at some depth about the meaning of Tommy.
Also on the 26th, a pre-recorded interview with Pete airs on the Nederland 1 programme Televizer.
On the 28th, Who manager Kit Lambert phones Ronald Foulk who is putting on the upcoming 2nd Isle of Wight Festival. Having heard that Bob Dylan is getting £35,000 to perform, Lambert ups The Who's fee from £450 to £5000. A compromise is reached at £900 with £200 expenses.
On the 29th, The Who play the Pavilion in Bournemouth to see if the drugged Keith can still play well enough to earn that Isle of Wight fee.
Having learned their lesson at Woodstock, The Who helicopter in to the Isle of Wight on the 30th, play their set plus Tommy, and leave. Their daytime performance is filmed by French television. Bob Dylan, despite his own sizable fee, uses The Who's PA for his concert.
August 1964 (50 years ago)
New single releases: "You Really Got Me" - The Kinks; "Oh Pretty Woman" - Roy Orbison; "Where Did Our Love Go?" - The Supremes; "You Never Can Tell" - Chuck Berry; "High Priced Woman" - John Lee Hooker
The High Numbers, in their first full month with that name, kick off at the Trade Union Hall in Watford, then head to the seaside for an all-nighter at The Florida Rooms in Brighton on the 2nd with The Clique. On the 4th they are back at the Railway Hotel at the Harrow & Wealdstone train stop and The Scene Club in London's Soho on the 5th. The 6th sees them at the White Hart in Southall although when they are seen, they're late, and lose £3 of their £9 price for tardiness. After that is a pricey £30 gig at the All Saints Hall in Whetstone on the 8th.
Also on the 8th, Boyfriend magazine does a one-page feature on The High Numbers, naming the members as Roger Daltry (ex-sheet-metal worker), Peter Townsend (ex-art student), John Allison (ex-tax officer) and Keith Moon (ex-trainee salesman). Keith says his ambition is "to be free and do nothing!"
On the 9th, The High Numbers open for Gerry & The Pacemakers at the Hippodrome in Brighton. This is the first of a series of bookings supplied by Arthur Howes that provide the band exposure as they warm up the stage for better-known acts. Howes may have almost immediately regretted supplying the gigs after he enlists the High Numbers to not only play a set of their own but also to provide backup for singer Valerie McCullam. Moon develops a loathing for the singer and buys a toy cymbal to make a loud "plink" at inappropriate points in her act.
On the 11th, The High Numbers return to the Railway Hotel for their first filmed recording. Kit Lambert shoots forty minutes of 16mm film of the band performing before dancing Mods. Apparently there was trouble that evening down at Roger's house. Right before the show, Roger's father-in-law drags Roger outside and hits him. Roger dons sunglasses for the shoot to cover up the black eye. Footage from the shoot first appears edited into 1965's "I Can't Explain" video, the audio is released in the 1980's on a bootleg called Dance to Keep From Crying and two songs, "I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying" and "Ooh Poo Pah Doo", appear with sound and video in the 2007 movie Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who.
The next night the Numbers are at The Mine, Carpenders Park Station in South Oxhey near Watford and from there go to The Scene Club for a late show. On the 15th, the band takes to the river for a summer dance on a riverboat departing from Charing Cross Pier. The dance is sponsored by Hoover, the vacuum cleaner company. Joining them on the cruise is the South Beats containing member Alan Oates who will become The Who's assistant road manager the next year.
On the 16th, The High Numbers follow The Kinks, then super-hot with their new song "You Really Got Me", and open for The Beatles, all during one Sunday night at the Blackpool Opera House. It is one of only two times that the band plays the same venue as the Liverpudlian Four. More than one writer has suggested that John Lennon takes the idea of using feedback at the beginning of that November's Beatles single "I Feel Fine" from watching Pete's feedback-laden performance on this night.
The High Numbers manage to make an impression despite the strong competition thanks not only to their performance but also to new professional stage lighting designed for them by Mike Shaw. When The High Numbers leave the stage, their Marshall stacks are removed and replaced with the Beatles' equipment. John Entwistle later remembers the Beatles' amps as half the size of what The High Numbers are already using. After the show the Numbers get a taste of Beatlemania as hysterical Beatle fans attack them as they leave the show, desperate for any souvenir of any band, ripping off pieces of their clothing and unknowingly ending up with Who collectibles.
On the 18th, the High Numbers return to the Railway Hotel followed on the 19th by a night at The Scene Club.
On the 20th, the band travels to Studio 3 at the BBC Television Centre in Wood Lane to record their television debut for the BBC-2 show The Beat Room, broadcast on the 24th. The High Numbers perform Bo Diddley's "Bring It to Jerome" and The Miracles' "I Gotta Dance to Keep from Crying". Later that night they play the Majestic Ballroom in Luton.
On the 22nd, Mirabelle answers questions about the meaning of "Face" in "I'm The Face" and gives a little backstory on The High Numbers in their latest issue.
Also on the 22nd Roger becomes the first member of the band to become a father as his son Simon is born at the Downs, Wimbledon. The proud father celebrates that night by singing with his band at the Trade Union Hall in Watford.
Other dates for this month have the High Numbers 4th billed behind Dusty Springfield at the Hippodrome in Brighton (23rd), returing to the Railway Hotel (25th) then the Scene Club (26th) and finishing the month back in Blackpool at the Queen's Theatre supporting The Kinks and The Searchers (30th).

Bella Ballroom Dance Studios - Wedding Dance Classes Orange County
My fiancé surprised me with dance lessons a couple months before the wedding. I was a little nervous going in since neither one of us had ever taken dance lessons but my nervousness quickly disappeared. Jennelle is a great instructor. She started us off slow and worked at our pace. She teaches you the dance steps and lets you put them together into a dance. There was no counting steps or memorizing a particular dance. I felt completely comfortable on our wedding day and our first dance was a total success (thanks to Jenelle)! I would recommend dance lessons to all couples. With all the planning that goes on right before the wedding, dance lessons are a perfect time for you and your fiancé to spend time together, when you don't have to think about planning, it's just you and him dancing. Jenelle was great and I'm recommending her to all my friends who get engaged!

New Vetus Latina fragment of Acts
Jean-Louis SIMONET writes: "A new Vetus Latina fragment of the Acts of the Apostles (Ac 4:9-22, 12th Century) will soon appear, in the next issue of "La revue bénédictine". My article (in French) about this fragment will be entitled "Une lecture vieille latine des Actes des Apôtres dans un recueil liturgique de Graz". It includes a description, a transcription of the Latin text, and a discussion of the place of this new fragment in the Latin tradition of the Acts. The same manuscript also includes two fragments (Ac 14;8-17, 14:19-15:14) of the Vulgata, which I collate from the Stuttgart edition."

What a shame that it stops at 15:14! Wouldn't it have been interesting to see what it does with the (rather complex) explicit quotation in 15:16-18 - and especially verse 18!

Keynes's probability: An introduction to the theory of logical groups
AbstractThe present work is intended to be an informal introduction to the theory of abstract logi- cal groups. This particular formalization stems from some concepts of abstract algebra and the Johnson-Keynes's theory of groups. Therefore the aim of this paper is that of provide the readers with the logical reasoning behind this brand new theory. I shall depict the philosophical notions as bases of the Keynes's probability and then I shall explain it in terms of group. Furthermore we shall see, albeit roughly, a first definition of abstract groups.

"Boat trip was nice but check-in was confusing.."
Reviewed 22 July 2014 by Dana
We rented a Family Room for 2 adults and a child. The photo showed a Queen and a couch. The couch actually folds over into a real twin bed and another twin drops above for 2 bunks. The bathroom was clean and big with toiletries and slippers. The carpet and bedding were a little dated but everything was clean. The rest of the ship is actually quite nice with 2 dining areas, a coffee bar/dance floor, a TV room with 4 or 5 large screens and theater seating, and a gift shop. We didn't use anything except the coffee bar for breakfast since we had to be awake so early. They will not let anyone down to their car until it is time to drive off so you wait a good while in the lobby while the foot passengers disembark. Some truck drivers showed up just before the ropes were lifted because they knew the process (extra sleep). Once they let you down to the cars, it goes fairly quickly so that is probably why they want everyone ready and waiting. Check-in at the port, however, was confusing for us. First of all you must change your email confirmation for actual tickets at the check-in building. The email we received did not say SNAV only Grand Navi Veloci and there are two ferry companies leaving at the same time. The first entrance into the port says SNAV but it is not for cars(foot passengers maybe?). The car entrance is the last entrance with the official PORT Entrance sign. Once you get your tickets, which is a fairly quick process, then you have to drive your car directly behind the check-in building but you have to drive off in a completely opposite circular pattern to get back. There are people to ask. WARNING: We booked the reservation knowing we were taking a rental car and put Hertz/Hertz in the make/model. That did not work. They made us go back to the ticket office and get the tickets reprinted with the actual plate number and it cost an extra 25 Euros. Take your rental key in and have them put that information on the tickets before they print them the first time. We were glad we allowed 2 hours for check-in. Otherwise it was a nice ride with nice views leaving Naples. The seas were choppy overnight but I don't know if that is normal. Not enough to get sea sick but since we were not used to the waves we woke up several times. Overall, I'd do it again.

I was assigned an internal cabin for two people in which the beds had been described as a castle. The negative aspect was that the cabin was located on deck 2, which is the lower of the ship, even lower than the lower parking deck. It was a challenge to go to deck 7 and 8 (reception, bar, restaurant, etc.): the lift were always full.

We've been taking the Suprema to travel between Genoa and Palermo for 7 years. I was unpleasantly surprised to see that the external cabins are no longer equiped with televisors. If you want to have the TV, you have to book an expensive suite. The rest was ok as usual.

Nice clean room with great facilities. Aircon was just right. Didn't feel like I was down in the bowels of the ship!

The heat is back on for the residents of an apartment building in West Oak Lane after three cold weeks.
FOX 29 first told you about the heat at the Bentley Manor Apartments last week.
Some families told us the temperature got so cold they had to pack up and stay with loved ones.
The heating issue was apparently the result of a broken boiler.
FOX 29 went out to the complex three times to check on the situation.
On Sunday, residents told us the heat was back on and things were slowly getting back to normal.
Earlier, a representative for the apartment complex told FOX 29 it was expected to take a couple of hours for the entire building to warm up.
Have problems? Tell us.
