Sundance Review: Push: Based on a novel by SapphireFeatures By Neil Miller on January 28, 2009 | Be the First To Comment
My last film screened at this year's Sundance film festival, Push: Based on a novel by Sapphire, was certainly one of the best. A tragic and touching story crafted beautifully and bravely by director Lee Daniels, Push is more than deserving of that acclaim that it garnered throughout this year's festival run.

Bootstrap is a nice CSS framework and it can really help you when you need something quick. I recently started working with the Play framework and wanted to use the latest version of Bootstrap. Here's how to get it working.
I'm going to assume you installed the Play Framework (most versions in the 2.x range will be similar, but I'm going to use version 2.2.2).
The version of Bootstrap we're going to install is 3.1.1, but as you'll see, using other versions or even upgrading a Bootstrap version is as easy as changing a number.
Bootstrap WebJar
WebJars are client-side packages (such as Bootstrap or jQuery) that are packaged in JAR files for easy management.
Adding a WebJar to Play
sbt is the build tool for Play. We can add WebJars to our
sbt will read this file and use Apache Maven to fetch the dependencies specified (including our WebJars).
First off all, add the following line to your
1 "org.webjars" %% "webjars-play" % "2.2.1-2",
Let's go to the WebJars homepage. Scroll down and find bootstrap (or any other package you like), it will have an entry like this:
1 "org.webjars" % "bootstrap" % "3.1.1-1"
Add this to your
Here's a sample
1 name := "My Cool Test Site"
3 version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
5 libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
6 javaJdbc,
7 javaEbean,
8 cache,
9 "org.webjars" %% "webjars-play" % "2.2.1-2",
10 "org.webjars" % "bootstrap" % "3.1.1"
11 )
12 play.Project.playJavaSettings
Now do go in the Play console, do
clean, then
run. Play will re-fetch all dependencies.
Adding a route for the WebJar
Add the following to your
1 # WebJar routing (for bootstrap, ...)
2 GET /webjars/*file controllers.WebJarAssets.at(file)
Referencing Bootstrap from your views
You can use
@routes.WebJarAssets.at(WebJarAssets.locate("...")) to reference a file from your views. We can find a list of files that are included
To reference the file
css/bootstrap.min.css, we can use
Styling forms
Styling forms is hard because we can't use the default input helpers. Luckily, Play provides a Bootstrap helper… which hasn't been updated in 2 years. It's still usable, but it was created for Bootstrap 2.x, which had different class names for forms.
Writing a custom FieldConstructor
We're going to write our own field constructor now so we don't have to write lots of boiler-plate code for each form input.
Make a new file called
bootstrapFieldConstructorTemplate.scala.html in
app/views and add the following:
1 @(elements: helper.FieldElements)
2

3 @elements.label
4 @elements.input
5 @elements.infos.mkString(", ")
6 @elements.errors.mkString(", ")
7

Using the FieldConstructor
In your view, import the following:
1 @import helper._
2 @implicitField = @{ FieldConstructor(bootstrapFieldConstructorTemplate.f) }
Now, when you use something like
@helper.inputText(orderForm("id")), Play will use the field constructor you specified.
The final touch
The only thing left to do is to add the
form-control class on the
<input> tag. We can do that like this:
1 @helper.inputText(orderForm("id"), 'class -> "form-control")
Here's the final view:
1 @(orderForm: Form[Order])
2 @import helper._
4 @implicitField = @{ FieldConstructor(bootstrapFieldConstructorTemplate.f) }
6
A form

8 @helper.form(action = routes.Application.index()) {
9 @helper.inputText(orderForm("id"), 'class -> "form-control")
10 }
Github repo
The code for this article is available as a Github repo over here.
Updating Bootstrap
When a new Bootstrap version comes out, the first thing you'll want to do is to check the WebJars site. Usually new versions should be available there pretty quick. You can than add the new version number to your
build.sbt. After that, do a
play clean and a
play cleanFiles, then
play run. That should work just fine.

With so many Hollywood films looking like formulaic excuses for
big paychecks, it's refreshing to hear the celebrities involved in
the forthcoming Red Tails talk about their passion in
making the tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen. George Lucas, who
invested $58 million of his own money to make the movie, says a
half-dozen studio heads turned down his offer to partner on the
Lucas, in an article in USA Today, recalls, "Everyone said:
'You're George Lucas walking in there. Won't they just do anything
for you?' And the answer is no. They felt there was no evidence
that this sort of film would draw a big audience. I said I
disagreed. The most important thing to me is my freedom. I've been
investing in my own movies since Empire (Strikes Back), so it was
just time to do it again."
The film was directed by Anthony Hemingway, who regularly
directs episodes of the TV drama, CSI: NY. Cuba Gooding,
Jr. plays the squadron's leader in the film, and also appeared in a
1995 HBO movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. Of his involvement in
Lucas's effort, Gooding says, "For my sons not to know about this
part of history is unacceptable. When I heard George was making a
go of it, I couldn't sit back. Hollywood just isn't green-lighting
these kinds of tales, because they tend to be gambles
Lucas doesn't appear to see it as such a gamble, and notes the
$200 million box office gross for The Help, released last
summer. And as appealing as Lucas finds the story, there's another
draw. Reflecting on the Star Wars series, he explains, "I love
dogfights and I know how to do them. I told Anthony, 'You worry
about the actors and the story on the ground, and I'll worry about
the one hour we're in the air.' "
Red Tails opens across the US on January 20. Find

Eliza Jane Jones Cole
I am doing genealogy for my pastor, Jerry Power and found the Cole family connection. Right now I think maybe Eliza would be his 4th great grandmother. My reason for contacting you is to see if you have any pictures of Eliza or Richard Wesley Cole or maybe even their children that you would be will to share. Also, if you have any family stories, that would be wonderful. I am sorry to say I do not have any information to share in return.
Thank you so much in return, Gloria Dunaway

Just want everyone on Find A Grave to know what a wonderful volunteer photographer Nancy is. She not only took photos for the family we share in Alabama on a trip from her Texas home, but she stopped at another cemetery just for me and looked for still another. It is this kind of person that makes Find A Grave so awesome!

Tenderness Hommy! Where Is It? (The "Us" VS. "Them" Mentality)
By Br. Faisal [Just a Muslim]
Convert Muslim Bro: "Asalam u Alaykum my Bratha"
Faisal (Just a Muslim): Walaykum Asalam bro How you doing?
Then he says to me-
Convert Muslim Bro: "Bratha, you need to fear Allah!!!"
Faisal (Just a Muslim): Huh? Why what did I do?
Convert Muslim Bro: Bratha!! We need to make hijra from this filthy dirty no good kaafir society my bratha !!
Faisal (Just a Muslim): Huh? But I don't get it? I'm an… American
Convert Muslim Bro: What!! Man… see I don't understand the born Muslims; you all don't know your deen!! See we're living in "Darul Kufur" bra, and we need to go back to "Darul-Islam."
Faisal (Just a Muslim): But… I'm just a
Convert Muslim Bro: Man, get out of my face you need to fear Allah bratha…
Faisal (Just a Muslim): I whispered to myself "Brother; we sure don't park our cars in the same garage so to speak." I'm out…
Ever feel like you just don't know where you belong as a Muslim American anymore? Ever get that numb feeling of their being a void in your identity? Do you ponder on questions such as am I a Muslim, Do I fit in with the mainstream Muslim crowd? Do they think I'm not a good Muslim because I don't follow their brand of faith or subscribe to wearing a kufi and high-water pants. But I thought I am an American, no wait, a Muslim? But…, Oooh? I'm so confused? Who am I? So worry no more, we will try and open up the can of worms that you have been dying to ask. As Muslim Americans many of us have been plagued with these questions for long and feel that we have no outlet towards dealing with these frustrations about the culture clash and identity crisis we are having as Muslim Americans. Because we are being bombarded with an overt pressure to be this way and that way. A madthabi Muslim or a Salafi Muslim. A discourse on identity in the realm of what type of sub-culture we fit into has been long over-due. In the era of post-9/11, which created a schism of an acculturation/ assimilation style insecurity with many Westerners, particularly the Muslim American crowd, which many of us have not even begun to peak into because we feel vulnerable to being attacked by our own and those outside of our faith; we feel lost about who we are and especially the youth who are already grappling with popular culture and what it means to be Muslim and American. Hopefully, this article will help to alleviate our concerns and help us to come to terms with our fears. And we just may find a common denominator entitled "American Muslim."
Yeah, Yeah, I am an American Muslim. I think? Lately, I have been pondering about my identity as a Muslim American and how I fit into the mainstream of "this land of the free and the home of the brave." It seems that there exists a great divide and rift of identity between our faith's adherents and that of our non-Muslim brothers and sisters in humanity. "Did he just say non-Muslim brothers and sisters?"
With all the varieties and flavors that Islam has to offer these days and especially amongst Western Muslims, I feel a great void existing between myself and other Muslims who may frown upon me because I may not subscribe to their type of Islam. You have your converts, your madthabis, salafis, Sufis, and your aunty (chachi) and uncles (chachas) and what have you. I don't get it? Am I doing something wrong? Am I not a good Muslim according to them because I claim to be American as well? Man! Leave me alone! I am just an American Muslim.
Many Western Muslims today believe that it is not right to befriend our non-Muslim brothers and sisters because we may be compromising our beliefs, so we distance ourselves from them. How do you think that makes them feel? They see us and feel that we are a closed society. One non-Muslim told me once, "Your doors are closed." However, in the tradition of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon ) who said "Non- of you truly believes until he love for his brother ( including sisters) what he love for himself; (Hadith of Anas bin Malik) and who is more authoritative than the Prophet? And this hadith according to a well-revered scholar named Imam- An Nawawi, he said that in this hadith, the concept of brotherhood includes all of humanity and a universal brotherhood of all mankind. Imam Malcolm X before his trip to Mecca, had met an orthodox Muslim named Dr. Shawarbi who related this same hadith to him in the following paraphrase. " No man has perfectly believed until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." This left a profound and indelible mark of Iman in the heart and mind of Imam Malik X, (may God have mercy on his soul). So what does this example tell us? Imam Malcolm X wasn't even around but, maybe one or two orthodox Muslims and he got it just right. He kept his relations with non-Muslims and didn't differentiate and call them kafr especially after his return from Mecca. What about us, why is it so hard for us to come to terms with the idea that we are Americans, or Westerners and Muslim at the same time. Wasn't it Allah (God) who said in the Quran chapter 49 verse 13 -The Dwellings, "O men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribe, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold God is all knowing, all-aware.
Hello!! There it is in plain sight that Allah (God) is promoting that we love our non-Muslim brothers and sisters in humanity. However, us as Muslims do not even love each other so how the hek do you expect to love them or more important for non-Muslims to love us. In 1999, during the Kosovo crisis, I attended a seminar that discussed the various issues surrounding the war. I got up and questioned a Serbian speaker about the validity of their claim that Kosovo belonged to only "Christian Serbs." After mentioning it was wrong, one audience member said in front of everyone that, "Maybe you Muslims should stop fighting each other first." I was stunned and shocked to hear this and embarrassed. We don't get along with each other and today we have an American cultural trend amongst some dummy Muslim Americans who think they are the sole heirs to the keys of correct Islam. Lets take a look at another scenario.
"Hard-core Mahdthabi Muslim"- So Faisal, what type of "fiqh" do you follow.
Faisal (Just a Muslim): Ah, well, I'm not quite sure what that means, but I believe that as a Muslim I should consult a local trusted scholar when ever I have an issue.
"Hard-core Mahdthabi Muslim"- Oh, so you don't believe in taqleed huh? Why not?
Faisal (Just a Muslim): Uh, I'm not quite sure what that is, but I pray five times a day and fast and believe in all the great rules of Allah, yup I sure do. Smiling.
"Hard-core Mahdthabi Muslim"- What!! Who are you to discern issues of Shariah? You are a peon and must follow an Imam blindly!!! Without any questioning!! Get out of my face you disgrace for a Muslim!!!
Faisal (Just a Muslim): huh? What did I say? Whispering under my breath I say, "but I thought it was good to think for yourself." I'm out…
Does that sound familiar? Hmm? I think it does. And this brings us to the discourse on the "Us Vs. Them" mentality that most Muslims hold today. In my opinion, these people do not understand how the world works and are not down to earth. I grew up around non-Muslims all my life and I was the only Muslim American in my high-school in Los Angeles. I didn't even know how to pray back then or let alone think in the terms of what madthab to follow or whether my friend Brian and Jeremiah were "infidels." I never thought that way and after learning my deen years later, I still did not think that way until some elements began to poison my mind, however, I never bought into it. So where did this "Us vs. Them" mentality come from? I have no idea, perhaps Imam Suhaib William Webb can explain.
Our parents made a difficult time on us as well with their cultural baggage dumping, for instance, I nearly married a non-Muslim girl many years back however, my parents caused such a fuss that it was a lose-lose situation. However, I remember, my non-Muslim aunt who stepped in and said to my parents that, "at least he is not gay and wants to marry a women." Didn't happen. I had a cousin who had a child with a non-Muslim girl who he cares for very deeply and he was pressured to divorce his new wife to the point he had to move to another city and be away from his parents. Many of the new Muslim immigrants who migrated in the early 60s and 70s married non-Muslims including my uncles, thus resulting in having children that are mixed. And their children, my half-white, half-Mexican cousins married non-Muslims as well. Now, as a practicing Muslim, am I going to shun them and not visit them because they are deemed infidels by some? I don't think so, and as a matter of fact, I love them for Allah (God) and hope that one day they will practice Islam without it being forced-fed to them.
Last scenario…
"Hardcore Uncle"- Beta!! I am your fathdar and you are my son, do as I say, baas ( that's it).
"Hardcore Aunti"- Beti!! You vill wear shalwar kameez to ischool today becauze you are trying to be too Amircan (American).
Wowah!! Yeah, that is a true story, my cousin lilly was ordered by her mom to wear the traditional Pakistani/Indian dress to high school because she was acting American and talking to boys. That was along time ago but I suspect it still happens today. Is this problem going to persist with our generation? I can see it happening today as well because of all the flavors of Islam that the new generation is adapting. Hek, even the converts start acting and dressing like my Pakistani chacha. What are we to do? So the moral of the story is that our scholars must address this disease of culture clash and identity crisis because I don't have a clue where to begin to fix it. Oh by the way, I am an American Muslim and as John Cougar Mellencamp sang, "This is our country, little pink houses for you and me." As the sun sets slowly to the West, I bid you a fine American Muslim fair well.
Faisal [justamuslim] currently resides in the state of California where he works as an educator. He is activley engaged in trying to become engaged.

Love it, mashallah. Am totally identifying, except that i am a British Muslim… i think.
Not sure what that article has to do with him "actively engaged in trying to become engaged" :), but good stuff mA.. and sooooooooooooooooo true. Mostly I think it stems from incomplete/lack of Islamic education and secondly following certain ppl who wish to propel their own 'group agendas'. Anyways we should all take benefit from where and who we can inshaAllah and leave the rest. ws
AbdelRahman, check out the first scenario. "Da brothazzzzz" Haha.
Imam Suhaib and "da brotha" who maintains this site, thank you for going back to the old template. Looks much sleeker and, of course, has shows a nice face.
It just goes to show we spend tooooo much time being critical of others and not focusing on our own spiritual failings and attempting to correct oursleves before others. It affects families,communities and nations. wa salaam, Ibrahim.
You described a very real scenario. I'm Pakistani/El Salvadorean born and raised in Los Angeles. My father immigrated during the 70s, married a Non-Muslim and is now dealing with the problems of raising two very "American/Westernized" daughters, and doesn't understand why they're not in masjid durng Ramazan, or can't read Quran. It's sad.
Please make dua for us.
"some people call him the space cowboy, some call him the ganster of love."
Asalam aleikum brother
Just wanted to comment on the part where you said.
"Many Western Muslims today believe that it is not right to befriend our non-Muslim brothers and sisters because we may be compromising our beliefs,""
Yes brother its true and sad that, unfortunately some of our Muslim brothers & sisters might think to befriend a none Muslim might be dangerous. Which is actually wrong for them to think that way cause, we all know there are good none Muslims out there as well as good Muslims at the same time there are bad none Muslims and bad muslim too.
So when someone says this we should ask him or her how?
Most probably, they will tell you about them being involved in things that are haram to us but halal to them, which might end up affecting us in some ways.
But then again don't some of our own Muslim brothers and sisters do things that are haram ? If yes, shouldn't we stay away from them too?
Take an example: If someone has two friends #1 is a Muslim who is alcoholic, and # 2 is none Muslim who abstains from alcohol. If friend # 1 asked, you to go hang out with him or her while you know for sure they will be drinking and friend # 2 asked you to go out with them and you know for sure, there will be no drinking. Who will you choose to go out with?
Islam asks us to look at the person's character, whether it is a Muslim or none Muslim and see if by any chance they could be of bad influence and if yes, then we should stay away from them and if no, then there is no harm in befriending them (at least thats the Islam I know).Take another example what's difference is there in playing tennis with a none muslim or muslim when we all know at the end of the day all you did is play tennis.
As far as the flavor, issue is concerned check out sheikh suhaib video title on you tube
Imam Suhaib Webb – From Protest to Engagment
this is some good stuff and touches upon some really common issues that most of us identify with at some point in our life. i remember when i first came/semi-reverted (long story) to the deen, i got bombarded with all of these things; "be a something-fi something-ist" and i was like i just wanna be a muslim! i'm all for the deen is naseeha, but i'm all for the deen is a personal journey too.
"Seventeen exhausted, beer-reeking punks, with mohawks and dyed hair, walked up to the mosque looking for a place to rest."
These guys are American Muslims too appearently.
Itz a very relevant issue, with quite pertinent points masha'Allah.
I would like to see a continuation of the topic

I live 'scrappy quilts' I like to take 'strips' that I tear off the end of new fabric purchases to 'square up' the fabric, and sew them together as I get them. Also add strips left over from other quilts. After a while, I have large pieces of 'pieced strip yardage' that I can cut into squares, triangles, hexagons, or whatever for scrappy pieced quilts. Some of the final results are really neat. I have even sewn in 'selvedge' strips in also. The possibilities are endless. Love your scrappy quilt!

Street Art from the ancient walls of South India. Photos by MC Yogi
Wall Textures have always been and continue to be a great source of inspiration for me. The juxtaposition between the grit and the brightly colored paint fading into the Sun Light, speaks volumes to me as an artist. The more something is worn the more soul it seems to have, the more a song is played the more it takes on a life of its own, and in the end All songs fade into silence ear- regardless of genre and style. Every great art form is always in a state of flux, constantly growing evolving and ultimately fading back into the great mystery. When we Remember that everything is passing while simultaneously savoring every drop of the experience, that in my mind is the greatest work of art, a life well lived. Photos by MC Yogi
Street Art conveys the values of a culture. Walking through India I can see the imagination of her people. Artist illuminate and bring the inner world to the surface so society can take benefit. This is why when I was painting and bombing the streets as a graff writer I eventually came to the realization that painting my own name was superficial and didn't really benefit anyone besides my own ego. I never stopped painting but now I'm more interested in painting and creating something which inspires a greater sense of reverence. Love and respect. Hopefully these photo convey that Love.

Ganesha remover of obstacles, is the son of Shiva, and is known for gaurding the gate to the great temple. Whenever we experience an obstacle if we are wise we will recognize that it is Ganesh in disguise, and He is appearing because we are close to Shiva. In order to gain access to the Self (ie boundless bliss and unbroken peace) we must literally chop off the limited aspects of our own mind in order to see and be in the presence of that which is shinning in everything.

The Temples of India are often ornately decorated with myriad forms of divine beings, demonic figures, angelic animals etc.. The intricate carvings remind us that the Great Light takes every form, that which orchestrates the cosmos is present in every square inch. In the ancient world there existed an underlying ethos that everything is part and parcel of the whole, the totality of the universe is hidden in every form. Gazing upward toward the brightly colored hand painted temple surface I am reminded that everything is the skin of the Divine. Photos by Surendar Kshatriya
We stopped for tea on the way to the Mountain (Arunacahala) and across the street a giant Hanuman (the monkey warrior) statue stood like a tower. Hanuman is considered a Pillar of auspiciousness, embodying humble service to the Divine. He is the messenger of the King, representing the unstoppable power of Love and Devotion. His strength and knowledge of Yoga is said to be unsurpassed in the three worlds.

The eye depends on the flow of tears to provide constant moisture and lubrication to maintain vision and comfort. Tears are a combination of water, for moisture; oils, for lubrication; mucus, for even spreading; and antibodies and special proteins, for resistance to infection. These components are secreted by special glands located around the eye. When there is an imbalance or deficiency in this tear system, a person may experience dry eye.
When tears do not adequately lubricate the eye, a person may experience:
Sometimes, a person with dry eye will have excess tears running down the cheeks, which may seem confusing. This happens when the eye isn't getting enough lubrication. The eye sends a distress signal through the nervous system for more lubrication. In response, the eye is flooded with emergency tears. However, these tears are mostly water and do not have the lubricating qualities or the rich composition of normal tears. They will wash debris away, but they will not coat the eye surface properly. In addition, because these emergency tears tend to arrive too late, the eye needs to regenerate, and treatment is necessary.
In addition to an imbalance in the tear-flow system of the eye, dry eye can be caused by the drying out of the tear film. This can be due to dry air created by air conditioning, heat, or other environmental conditions. Ask your doctor about steps you can take to help prevent dry eyes from occurring.
While dry eyes cannot be cured, there are a number of steps that can be taken to treat them. You should discuss treatment options with an ophthalmologist.
The use of artificial teardrops is the primary treatment for dry eye. Artificial teardrops are available over the counter. No one drop works for everyone, so you might have to experiment to find the drop that works for you. If you have chronic dry eye, it is important to use the drops even when your eyes feel fine, to keep them lubricated. If your eyes dry out while you sleep, you can use a thicker lubricant, such as an ointment, at night.
Sometimes it is necessary to close the ducts that drain tears out of the eye. This is done via a painless procedure where a plug that will dissolve quickly is inserted into the tear drain of the lower eyelid. This is a temporary procedure, done to determine whether permanent plugs can provide an adequate supply of tears.
If temporary plugging of the tear drains works well, then silicone plugs (punctal occlusion) may be used. The plugs will hold tears around the eyes as long as they are in place. They can be removed. Rarely, the plugs may come out spontaneously or migrate down the tear drain. Many patients find that the plugs improve comfort and reduce the need for artificial tears.
If needed, the ducts that drain tears into the nose can be permanently closed to allow more tears to remain around the eye. This is done with local anesthetic on an outpatient basis. There are no limitations in activity after having this surgery.
While dry eye cannot be cured, the symptoms can be greatly improved by these treatment options.

Last year my DS were 17 and 23. They found others their age (literally less than a dozen) and made their own party at night, whether hanging at the club or playing cards in the stairwell. That was the 7-day Mexico cruise. Next month we're on the 3-night Bahamas. May be too short to make friends. Even for me, I found the lounges to be a snooze, and I'm the mom!

We got off the Fantasy March 9 th . We went to the adult night club The Tube every night for the adult shows and stayed until closing for some late night dancing . We did find about 80% of the people left after the shows . One night we basically had the bartenders to ourselves & we really had a great time with them & yes they even danced with us . I had to stay out until closing as my son wouldn't leave Vibe until it closed & I didn't want to go to my room with the chance of falling asleep & him for some reason not come back to the room !
We met some fantastic people on the cruise & have become friends with 2 couples & we are all booking again next March ...

It's not for their lack of trying, really. Disney has the clubs open, but people tend to not go, usually for child care reasons. The Carnival cruise I went on had more of a nightlife, with a real piano bar and club. You just done have a ton of that young, club crowd going on Disney because, let me say it, it's expensive (for one thing), and it is geared for more of a family experience. I think the main reason is price. My Carnival cruise was about half the cost of a Disney cruise, with a balcony room to boot. Not too many young people (I'm 29 and getting married in Oct), can afford a Disney cruise.
I know Disney tries to offer an experience for all ages and types of people, but those with children can't really make it. They don't offer a 'parents night out' in the kids club (one night, at least, kids clubs stay open as late as adult or teen clubs), but they should. That might help with the nightlife.
Sadly, I may have outgrown staying out late, but I'm hoping for a night or two on my DCL honeymoon where we can have fun like we used to.

To the OP--- I am Disney obsessed (from age 16 on, APs at DLR, DLR after school), but at 20 & 21 my friends and I were definitely not partying on a Disney cruise. I think your opinion (and energy level) will change after you have kids. At 22, I thought Maui was so boring (no clubs)...and now it's perfect for a family vacation (yay, no clubs!).
As to the nightclubs--my husband and I tried staying "late" one night. We were dancing in our seats sort of, since no one was on the dance floor (I am way past my clubbing days). The back up dancers they have at the shows were there to lead people to the dance floor.
So I'll say that they try, but the demographic is just too tired to do it.
I agree with you about the physical lounge spaces, though. Beautiful..and a waste unless there's a good party in there. We were surprised that the DJ was actually pretty good when it got late. They stopped playing top 40s and actually played some good mixes (surprisingly).

Op. after 11 cruise, Nd 12,13,&14 coming up. I could not agree more. I am 38 I am a night owl, and my wife is a early to bed woman and we do not have kids. Now I do not dance and the is not enough alcohol in this world to get out on a dance floor, but I will say this. I have met some really awesome people in the club who do stay out late. I can fairly say I have made some really good friends and we have since cruised together on a few occasions. Tome that's one of the upsides of a dead bar, the people who do stay till they close at 2 are mostly the same people every night. Boy I can tell you some stories of shot nights. Ha ha ha ha.

I totally agree about the lack of night life too The sad part is the kids clubs on the Disney ships are open for free way later than they are on other ships like Carnival but there is very little to do if you are not a drinker and don't like to sit in a club listening to loud music. I would love to see Disney add some comedy club shows for adults at night.

We just got off the same 3 day cruise as well. My kids are old enough that I feel comfortable leaving them in the kids club/cabin for the night. We travelled with friends who have a 4 yr old and a 7 yr old. Surprisingly, they were in a party mood (on our RCCL cruise last year, they crashed when their kids did) and decided to leave their kids sleeping with my DD in charge (connecting cabins).
On the first night, I hung out in Evolution from 11:30 - 12am waiting for them to put their kiddos to sleep. The Evolution dancers did their best and it was nice that they danced with the guests and got some energy going. By 11:45 or so, they left and the dance floor died down. I really wish the DCL dancers continued dancing in Evolution until at least 12:30am every night. That would help a LOT. It's very intimidating when the floor is empty.
I returned with my friends at 12:15am or so and there were 2 couples on the floor. My friends couldn't get in the mood so we left. Decided to go get some food. As most of you know, there is NO FOOD anywhere on the ship after midnight! Sadly, with all my planning and time on the Dis, I missed out on that fact. I thought surely there had to be SOMETHING.
We ended up ordering room service from an elevator phone, hung out for half an hour in Cove and then headed back to our verandah to get our food from room service at 1:30am. It was funny and a bit sad as we didn't want to be in our rooms so we could let our kids sleep in peace. It's a sore point for us now that there is such limited availability for food.
2nd night was Pirate Night and that was fun dancing on deck. We were on Deck 12 hanging over the balcony and made our own dance floor and had a blast. We didn't go to Evolution because we were all tired.
On the last night, my friends were pooped and hit the sack. DH and I went out at about 11:45ish to Evolution. There was still energy with about 6 or 7 people on the dance floor and some Evolution dancers. We danced for about 4-5 songs and it was fun. Then the DJ changed the style of music. Pretty much immediately about 5-6 people left the floor. My DH and I followed shortly afterwards because he doesn't like the style. That left one couple. After 1 song, they too left the floor. 3 full songs later (in the same style), the club was pretty much empty as all the folks who were dancing all left. My DH and I hung out waiting hoping the DJ would get a clue...but since he didn't, we too left. We ended up on top deck and watched the end of Enchanted before hitting the sack.
I was on the RCCL Liberty of the Seas last March and while the dance club wasn't packed solid, it was still lively at least until 1am. Plus there was food 24 hrs and the main strip stayed populated late into the night. (I wandered the ship until 2-3am every night)

I do think this is not Disney's best area, but at the same time, can't fault them for it because it really isn't what their main demo is looking for, lol. My DD will be waking up by 7am wanting breakfast and to head to the kids club. Staying out until the wee hours isn't an option! A nice after-dinner drink and some piano, bed by 11 is pretty much as party-hardy as I can get these days!

We sailed on RCL Voyager of the Seas last Christmas and were out every night ("Adult Daycare" -not-so clean karaoke-, multiple dance clubs.). We are in our 40's and had a blast. Our kids are old enough to crash in the cabin and we enjoyed late-night food, dancing and entertainment. We traveled with another family. On the Dream it was just us and our kids were younger. We went to Skyline and a dance club one time and it was fun, but kids wanted to leave the clubs (didn't love them). I am hoping that this summer's Fantasy cruise does have some fun adult entertainment. We are again traveling with the other family and now I am worried they will be disappointed if it isn't as fun as RCL.

DH and I enjoyed the match your mate and disco dancing on our cruise, there were several people at evolution when we went for these, not many of them were younger couples. We were just too exhausted to stay out late at the clubs and had to pick our kids up.

I'm glad that other people share the same opinions as me. I can't stress enough how beautiful the ship was, but if I had to chose I would probably wait until after I have kids (A long time from now) to sail DCL.

I was on the same cruise....
I have a 3 and 7 year old and to stay up til 9 or 10 for them is stretching it. And to have them sleep, we have to go to sleep too.
On the first night, we had woken up at 5am to get to the airport to take the plane to the bus to the ship, so we were all pretty exhausted and crashed at 9. And the pirate night, we were also exhausted and fell asleep way before the fireworks. The last night, I was trying to get everyone to bed at a decent time so that the next day wasn't horrific while traveling with exhausted kids.
Honestly, I was a little bummed that I missed the fireworks... but I never expected to do any of the nightlife things because you can't leave your kids sleeping alone in your room. It is really unsafe. And it seems that dealing with your kids on vacation with them getting less sleep than normal and being so busy is exhausting.
So, I think Disney had it right for us... there is no way we can party the night away. Even if the kids club was open, our kids needed to be in their beds.
When we were younger we traveled Carnival and RCL and they had TONS of nightlife when I wasn't this exhausted with two kids!h

Like the UVIS channel, the IR channel uses 16-bit Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs), providing a digital output signal in the range between 0 and 65,535 data numbers (DNs). The default gain setting for the IR channel is 2.5 electrons/DN and is the only one offered to observers. Note that this setting results in a measured gain of ~2.4 electrons/DN; see Table 5.1.The default gain is compatible with the full-well saturation level of the IR channel, which is about 78,000 electrons (~33,000 DN at the default gain), and with the detector readout noise, of order 20-22 electrons per correlated double sampling.Cosmic rays affect the image quality. On-orbit measurements indicate that cosmic ray events occur at a rate of 11 ± 1.5 CR/s for WFC3/IR. The use of MULTIACCUM mode makes it possible to filter out cosmic rays because it provides a series of intermediate non-destructive reads. The intermediate reads are used by the WFC3 data pipeline to identify cosmic ray hits, similar to the use of CR-SPLITs in CCD observations. AstroDrizzle also checks for and attempts to remove cosmic rays from the "drizzled" images when there are multiple (usually dithered) exposures of the same field. (See the DrizzlePac documentation.)Passages through the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) cause the highest number of cosmic ray hits. When the HST is within the predefined SAA exclusion zone, IR observations are not normally taken and the detector is set to auto-flush mode to minimize the effects of SAA passage on instrument performance. Unlike NICMOS, where the detector electronics had to be switched off during SAA passage, it is possible to perform time-critical observations in the SAA with WFC3/IR.Snowballs (named for their fuzzy appearance) are transient extended sources that appear in IR exposures at the rate of about one per half hour. They may be caused by radioactivity in the detector or bonding material (WFC3 ISR 2009-44). A snowball affects between 11 and 34 pixels and contains between 200,000 and 900,000 e-. (See WFC3 ISR 2009-43.) The energy is deposited in the pixels instantaneously, so snowballs can be removed via up-the-ramp fitting, like cosmic rays.7.9.3 On-Orbit DegradationUnlike the CCDs, minimal cosmic-ray damage to the IR detectors was anticipated, and essentially none has been observed. During ground testing using a particle accelerator, the WFC3/IR arrays were subjected to radiation doses much higher than expected in their entire orbital lifetime, without sustaining significant long-term damage or measurable degradation in QE. Searches for the development of new bad pixels are conducted as part of the regular calibration program; the number is growing slowly if at all (WFC3 ISR 2010-13, WFC3 ISR 2012-10). The mean dark current remained unchanged in the first three years of in-flight operations (WFC3 ISR 2012-11). (See Section 5.7.2)In-flight dark reference files made from SMOV and cycle 17 data were delivered in March 2010 (full array) and October 2010 (subarrays) to replace the ground-based reference files. Subarray darks made from non-banded data taken in cycle 18 (see WFC3 ISR 2010-16 and Section 7.4.4) were delivered in February 2011. Full array darks with better signal-to-noise, made using data from cycles 17 through 20, were delivered in October 2013. Summaries of WFC3 reference files are displayed at:7.9.4 Image PersistenceAs discussed in Section 5.7.9, the WFC3/IR detector exhibits image persistence, particularly during and following observations of targets that saturate the detector by more than the pixel full well depth. The amount of image persistence depends primarily on the brightness of the amount of charge accumulated by a pixel in an exposure, and secondarily on the length of time in an exposure. The basic reason for this behavior is that the traps involved in persistence have finite trapping times, as well as finite release times.Image persistence has been observed both within a set of dithered exposures in a single orbit and in observations where the target observed in a previous orbit was particularly bright. Two examples of persistence are shown in Figure 7.8. The left panel shows an image obtained with WFC3/IR in parallel to a COS exposure from program 11519, Visit 0V. The bright diffuse object in the center of the field is the persistence after-image of the nearby Sb galaxy NGC 2841 observed two hours earlier in program 11360 visit R1. The right panel shows an image obtained of the gamma ray burst GRB090423 as part of program 11189 visit H2, which followed observations of globular cluster 47 Tuc (program 11677 visit 19) and a stellar field in Orion (program 11548 visit AJ). The dither patterns used in these sets of observations are clearly visible in the image.Figure 7.8: Persistence seen in WFC3/IR exposures following exposures of a bright nearby galaxy (left) and following dithered exposures of two fields of bright stars (right).Such obvious examples of persistence from previous visits are fairly rare in the HST data. Using information in the Phase II proposals, STScI scientists attempt to identify visits that are likely to cause this much persistence. STScI planners inhibit WFC3/IR observations for several orbits after observations from these "bad actors", long enough for the afterglow images to fade. Observers can help in preventing persistence from affecting future observations with appropriate observing strategies, and, in cases where persistence cannot be avoided, by flagging the problem with written comments in the phase II proposal and notifying the Contact Scientist or Program Coordinator.While the screening process generally eliminates the worst cases of persistence, such as those in Figure 7.8, the process is not perfect and so observers need to be aware of the possibility of persistence in their images. Indeed, in light of the fact that WFC3/IR exposures constitute a significant fraction of the overall HST observing program and in order to maintain HST scheduling efficiency, only a small fraction of the visits can be declared to be "bad actors". This means that many IR images have some pixels that are affected by persistence. In the vast majority of cases, the number of pixels that are affected by persistence due to exposures from earlier visits is small compared to the number of pixels that should be flagged for other reasons. The tools and procedures needed to identify pixels affected by persistence and to mitigate its affect are described in the WFC3 Data Handbook. Observers are advised to take advantages of these tools to check whether the ability to extract science from their data has been adversely affected by persistence. It is the responsibility of observers to check their data and request a repeat of a visit that has been compromised by persistence by filing a HOPR within the prescribed period.While avoiding persistence created by other programs is largely outside of the control of an individual investigator, evaluating whether persistence within a visit will affect the quality of their data is the responsibility of the observer. Specifically, observers need to consider whether persistence within a single visit will affect their ability to extract science from their data. They also need to consider whether there will be a problem with persistence if two visits from their program are scheduled back to back.In carrying out this evaluation, it is important to remember that fairly short exposures (100 sec) of relatively bright (18th mag) stars observed through the broad-band filters saturate pixels in the IRarray and so there will often be "self-induced" persistence within visits. Furthermore, the amount of persistence decays inversely with time. So, as shown in Figure 5.26 in Section 5.7.9, a pixel that has been saturated to an effective fluence of ~100,000 electrons will show an afterglow of about 0.3 electrons per sec at 1000 seconds, but ~2 electrons per sec at 200 seconds. (We do not currently have very good estimates of persistence at shorter times.)In most cases, persistence will not turn out to be a serious problem, particularly if the objects that have the potential to cause persistence are spatially separated from the area of the image from which science is obtained, and/or if the number of affected pixels is small, and/or if dither patterns are small. In these cases, the procedures described in the WFC3 Data Handbook should be sufficient to address any issues associated with internal persistence in the images that will be obtained.However, in some cases, persistence will be an issue, especially if the science target is faint, but the field is filled with considerably brighter objects. In these cases, one should avoid the tendency to set the exposure time for the fainter science target, ignoring the problem that will be caused by the rest of the field. One should be careful in situations where dither offsets are much larger than the PSF or where mosaics are being constructed within a visit. Observers should take care that bright or saturated sources within a field are not dithered across the same parts of the detector that record the highest science priority areas of the field. Planning observations of dense fields, globular clusters, or very bright star formation regions may be complicated in instances where precise photometry or very large dynamic range are required.There are a variety of strategies one can adopt to minimize the effects of persistence. In many cases, the best approach is to take more shorter exposures to limit the numbers of pixels affected. If that is not effective, there may be trade-offs between the number of dithers and the amount of persistence one is willing to tolerate.Various tools to estimate which regions of an image are likely to cause persistence and additional strategies to mitigate its effects are described in Appendix D:Bright-Object Constraints and Image Persistence.
7.9.5 The IR BackgroundIn space, the dominant sources of background radiation are zodiacal light and earthshine at shorter IR wavelengths, and the telescope thermal emission at longer wavelengths. For HST, the sum of these two background components has a minimum at about 1600 nm (roughly lying in the H band).The surface brightness of zodiacal light is a function of the ecliptic latitude and longitude, and reaches a minimum ~120 degrees from the sun, i.e., near, but not at, the ecliptic poles increasing again to 180 degrees (anti-solar direction).Figure 7.9 shows the observed background levels in the first few months of WFC3's operation (green), compared with values predicted from known instrument sensitivities and expected levels of zodiacal light. Additional analysis of the IR background is underway, as described by Pirzkal at the 2010 STScI Calibration Workshop.Recent analysis of archival WFC3/IR grism and broad-band filter observations suggests that the IR channel is susceptible to a strong airglow line of He I at 10830 Å, perhaps related to auroral activity and seen even at high angles above the bright earth limb (>40 degrees). This line can result in significantly elevated and variable background levels in the IR grisms and filters sensitive to it (G102, G141, F105W, and F110W) at the level of an additional ~1 electron/s/pixel or more above the nominal zodiacal background (see Figure 7.9). The WFC3 instrument team is currently evaluating scheduling options for minimizing the contribution of this feature to the observed background count rate. Observers wishing to minimize the background in reference exposures for the G102 grism can consider using the narrower F098M filter in place of F105W or F110W.Figure 7.9: Infrared background levels for WFC3. The average, low and high zodiac points show the synphot predictions for three levels of zodicial light and no earth-shine. The observations selected include calibration and GO images of empty or sparsely populated fields, giving an accurate representation of early WFC3 observations but not covering all background conditions. Observational means (green points), ranges (error bars), and exposure counts are plotted.For pointings very close to the bright Earth limb, the zodiacal background may be exceeded by earth-shine. The brightness of the earth-shine falls very rapidly with increasing angle from the Earth's limb (due to the effectiveness of the HST baffles), and for most observations only a few minutes at the beginning and end of the target visibility period are significantly affected. The major exception to this behavior is a target in the continuous viewing zone (CVZ). Such targets will always be rather close to the Earth's limb, and so can sometimes see an elevated background for part of the orbit, even at shorter wavelengths where zodiacal emission ordinarily dominates.For targets faint enough that the background level is expected to be much brighter than the target, the observer has two options when crafting the Phase II proposal:
(1) specify a non-standard Bright Earth Avoidance (BEA) angle, which increases the angle from the Earth's limb from 20° to 25° (note that this is an available mode and must be specially requested through a Contact Scientist), or (2) specify the LOW-SKY option, which restricts observations to targets more than 40° away from the Earth's limb and restricts scheduling to times when the zodiacal background is no greater than 30% above the minimum achievable level. The second option decreases the available observing (visibility) time during each orbit and implies scheduling constraints.7.9.6 BlobsImage blemishes peculiar to the WFC3-IR detector have been described in Section 5.7.7. Other spots of reduced sensitivity in IR images, dubbed "blobs", are caused by reduced reflectivity of the Channel Select Mechanism mirror. Blobs were first noticed in IR images shortly after WFC3 was installed on HST. Their number increased to ~25 in early 2010, stabilized, then began to increase again in the latter part of 2011. They have a measured half-light radius of 10-15 pixels and absorb up to 15% of the incoming light at their centers. They are described in detail in WFC3 ISR 2010-06. Those appearing through cycle 19 are flagged in the IR bad pixel table (WFC3 ISR 2012-10). Future updates to the bad pixel table are planned. A more detailed analysis of the history of the appearance of new blobs and of the color of the blobs is given in WFC3 ISR 2012-15. Appropriate dither strategies to mitigate the effects of blobs and other artifacts in IR images are described in WFC3 ISR 2010-09. See Section C.2 for the specifications of the WFC3-IR-DITHER-BLOB pattern implemented in APT.7.9.7 Optical AnomaliesAnomalous features are found in some IR detector images. For example, the optical system may cause stray light from sources outside the detector FOV to be scattered into images. Scattered earthlight can greatly increase the background on part of the detector when HST is pointing near the bright earth limb. (See Section 6.10 in the WFC3 Data Handbook.)

Aww how tired he must have been! lol. Doesn't get more candid that this pose. =0) Love it.ReplyDelete
Oh to be so flexible! hahaReplyDelete
How cute!!! They can fall asleep anywhere, in almost any position, can't they?ReplyDelete
Aww that is so cute! I love your blog! Your music is awesome :-)ReplyDelete
Hi Traci,ReplyDelete
You stopped by my blog and left a comment on my I <3 Faces entry this week (my daughter was eating a piece of toast beside her stacking ice cream cone). Thank you.
I love this photo of the baby. I have a nearly identical one of my oldest son (now in college!) at about the same age. I am still amazed at how limber babies can be -- how sleeping in that position could possibly be comfortable, I'll never understand!
And now I'm off to check out the rest of your beautiful blog!
Just precious!! It is amazing how little bodies can twist and turn like that. Really adorable. :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your friendship! If you can't comment, try commenting as anonymous or you can email me at curly2880 at yahoo dot com.

Comments: I thought these rods were great. Incredibly light with an excellent backbone to set the hook. But then the problems started. I've bought 5 of them. One because the tip broke. Thought it was something I did until the third tip broke sitting in my rod locker. Have had 3 ceramic inserts come out also.

Campus Crest Communities (CCG) Passes Through 8% Yield Mark
Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at
Dividend Channel, in trading on Thursday, shares of Campus Crest Communities, Inc.
(CCG) were yielding above the 8% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $0.66), with the stock changing hands as low as $7.88 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) back on 5/31/2000 — you would have paid $78.27 per share. Fast forward to 5/31/2012 and each share was worth $77.79 on that date, a loss of $0.48 or 0.6% decrease over twelve years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $10.77 per share in dividends over the same period, increasing your return to 13.15%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.0%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 8% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Campus Crest Communities, Inc.
(CCG) is a member of the Russell 3000, giving it special status as one of the largest 3000 companies on the U.S. stock markets.
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Campus Crest Communities, Inc., looking at the history chart for CCG below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 8% annual yield.

(This is an excerpt of a press release from Harper for Kids)
The dilapidated tennis court at Willie Woo Woo Wong Playground is the only public tennis court in Chinatown, leaving children with no other community space to learn the game of tennis. In an effort to increase the opportunity for neighborhood children to play tennis and develop positive life skills, the nonprofit HFK (Harper for Kids) in partnership with the USTA (United States Tennis Association) provided the resources to resurface the court. The court will have QuickStart lines for 10 and under tennis, a format that helps children learn tennis more quickly and easily.

The ACC Foundation (ACCF) and American Heart Association on Dec. 17 jointly released clinical practice guidelines for the management of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
The guidelines focus on clinical decision making at all stages, beginning with the onset of symptoms, and recommend regional systems of care to ensure that patients get immediate treatment, provide recommendations for the rapid restoration of flow down the obstructed coronary artery, and recommend post-hospitalization plans of care. The authors note that particular emphasis is placed on advances in reperfusion therapy, transfer algorithms, evidence-based antithrombotic and medical therapies, and secondary prevention strategies to optimize patient-centered care.
Specifically, the guidelines recommend:
Authors also recommend participation in regional system of STEMI care, like the ACC's Door-to-Balloon (D2B) Alliance, that includes assessment and continuous quality improvement of EMS and hospital-based activities, as previous studies have shown that participants in the Alliance were significantly more likely to have D2B times of ≤90 minutes than patients treated in non-enrolled hospitals. In addition, evidence-based cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention programs like smoking cessation, management of comorbidities, psychosocial factors and more, are recommended for patients with STEMI. The guideline authors also recommend that health care providers should assist patients when possible in making anticipatory plans for timely recognition and response to an acute event to avoid delays. "Patients with STEMI do not seek medical care for approximately 1.5 to two hours after symptom onset, and little change in this interval has occurred over the past 10 years," they said. They also suggest that patients with possible ischemic symptoms be transported to the hospital by ambulance rather than by friends or relatives.
The guidelines were developed in collaboration with the American College of Emergency Physicians and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions. The authors note that the new document is designed to be narrower in scope than the 2004 STEMI Guideline, in an attempt to provide a more focused tool for practitioners. "We're looking to a future where more patients survive with less heart damage and function well for years thereafter," said Patrick T. O'Gara, chair of the Guidelines Writing Committee and ACC vice president. "We hope the guidelines will clarify best practices for health care providers across the continuum of STEMI patients."
