Best Burger Denver 2011 - Tarbell's - CLOSED
6955 S. York St.
Littleton, CO 80122
Tarbell's is certainly not the first restaurant to elevate the burger to lofty, beasty, Herculean status, but while size is in the shoe of the beholder, Tarbell's double-decker burger — all six, maybe even seven inches of it — is, buns down, the best burger in the city. The freshly ground beef, loose and hand-formed into two impossibly thick patties, is judiciously salted and peppered, drooling with juices that blush scarlet, grilled to a perfect mid-rare and shoved between a soft, slightly sweet bun that's slathered with a secret sauce and platformed with lettuce, tomato slices and squares of American cheese that melt into the depths of your fluttering heart.

Amid the deluge of year-end statistics highlighting the yawning economic gap between the European Union's more solid northern member states and its debt-stricken southern half there's one that looks, at first glance, like a mistake — container traffic.
But it isn't. While Europe's giant northern ports post declines, or at best modest gains, in 2013 traffic, some Mediterranean hubs are basking in double-digit growth rates.
Rotterdam, Europe's biggest port for all types of cargo including boxes, saw volume in 2013 dip 1.7 percent from a year earlier, and neighboring Antwerp was down 0.7 percent. Hamburg is up around 7 percent, but that was partly due to feeder traffic lured from Rotterdam.
Mediterranean ports, in contrast, are on a roll. Gioia Tauro, the Italian transshipment hub, whose future looked grim a couple of years ago following the departure of top customer Maersk Line, hiked volume by over 13 percent, the second consecutive double-digit gain. The CICT terminal in the Sardinian port of Cagliari grew 13 percent despite the political turmoil and economic downturn in its target North African market.
Piraeus, once a byword for labor disputes and low productivity, did even better, boosting traffic by close to a world-beating 20 percent. This made the 5.5 percent increase at the southern Spanish port of Algeciras look extremely modest, but by north European standards, it was decidedly bullish.
Eurogate, Europe's largest terminal operator, was cock a hoop that it broke through the 14-million-TEU mark in 2013 for the first time since the 2008 global recession. But the rise, to 14.2 million TEUs, was almost entirely due to an 11.2 percent increase at its minority-owned Italian terminals, which outweighed a 4.7 percent decline at its flagship Bremerhaven home base and overshadowed an otherwise impressive 7.9 percent growth in Hamburg. Its low-key Lisbon terminal handled 15.8 percent more containers than in 2012, while its brand new Wilhelmshaven facility, Germany's first deepwater container port, managed just 76,265 TEUs in its first full year of operation.
The sizzling performance of these southern European terminals contrasts with the dire economic situation beyond the waterfront. Greece is looking to a third bailout of up to €20 billion ($27 billion) on top of the €250 billion it has already pocketed since 2010 to keep its battered economy afloat. Italy, the third-largest eurozone economy, is still struggling to emerge from its longest post-war recession, and the government's forecast of 1.1 percent growth this year looks a tad optimistic to most independent economists. Portugal, which got a €78 billion bailout, is just recovering from its deepest slump since the 1970s. Spain's gross domestic product shrank about 1.3 percent in 2013, and the government is forecasting growth of just 0.7 percent this year.
The disconnect between the strong port performances and the fragile inland economies is largely due to the fact that the leading terminals function as transshipment hubs for the broader Mediterranean region and Central and Eastern Europe rather than as gateways to their domestic hinterlands.
In the case of Piraeus, the surge in traffic has little to do with Greek companies or the Greek government. The port is on target to become the biggest Mediterranean container hub, overtaking Valencia, in 2016, thanks to Hong Kong-based Cosco Pacific, which paid around $5 billion in 2009 for a 35-year operating concession to transform the port into a gateway for Chinese trade with Europe. Traffic at its two terminals soared 20 percent in 2013 — its third full year of operation — to 2.52 million TEUs following a 75+ percent increase in 2012. The majority state-owned Piraeus Port Authority, by contrast, saw traffic at the third terminal rise by just 3 percent to around 645,000 TEUs.
While rival global terminal operators regard Europe as a mature slow growth market, Cosco Pacific is bullish about its Greek asset. It's spending over $300 million to expand annual capacity to 6.2 million TEUs from today's 4.2 million TEUs, is reportedly mulling the construction of a logistics complex and assembly facilities for imports of manufactured goods from China and is the prime candidate to acquire the port when the Greek government finally makes good its privatization pledge.
Other southern success stories like Algeciras also have as much to do with the strategies of ocean carriers and global terminal operators as the state of their domestic economies.
To be sure, there's still a big North-South gap. Rotterdam handled 11.7 million TEUs in 2013 and Antwerp 8.6 million TEUs, way ahead of Algeciras at 4.3 million TEUs, Piraeus with 3.2 million TEUs and Gioia Tauro with 3.1 million TEUs. And not all southern European ports are up: Valencia's traffic dipped lower in 2013, and it has lost out in the planned schedule of the P3 Network among Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co. and CMA CGM.
But the North-South gap is narrowing as southern transshipment hubs challenge their northern rivals for the increasing trade between Asia, particularly China, and Central and Eastern Europe.
And northern ports face greater competitive pressure as traffic growth slows just as extra capacity planned in the heady days of the pre-2008 container shipping bull run come on stream. Wilhelmshaven could yet jolt Hamburg and Bremerhaven as it leverages its status as a port of call in the P3's Asia-north Europe schedule.
Rotterdam faces a testing time, too, as the massive Maasvlakte 2 terminal project opens for business at the end of 2014, with the addition of some 5 million TEUs of annual capacity.
The UK risks a ruinous battle for market share as well, as the newly opened London Gateway, with just one regular service and two more due in May, attempts to pry traffic away from Felixstowe, the nation's largest container port.
The southern European ports, by contrast, are pretty confident the good times will continue to roll, even if at a less spectacular rate than in 2013.

As a mother of three active kids, I learned the value of doing art and crafts projects with my children when my oldest was still a toddler. You're probably aware of the many ways that doing kid crafts positively affects children...
... Just to name a few. That's all well and good for kids. As parents, we want the best for our children and will do whatever it takes to give them the best life we can, but do we have to do kid crafts?!?
Okay, that's what I used to think. Doing kid crafts, especially toddlers and preschoolers seemed like such a pain in the neck. I used to think that it was too messy, hard to organize, and really not worth the effort until they got a little older. Then I tried it a couple of times and found out that doing these types of activities really made my job as a parent soooo much easier!
Once I found age-appropriate projects that would work with all three of my children and got myself organized, the parental benefits started rolling in...
You get the picture. The point is that kid crafts really made a big difference in our daily lives! Now we do a project of some kind nearly every day and everyone is happier!
The only problem that I've run across since we started with our daily kid craft time is coming up with new ideas every day.
First, I wanted to share some of the little tricks I've learned in raising my own children and how art and crafts have helped me be a better parent. Second, I wanted to share some of the resources that I've found online that have really helped me. Third, I love working on websites and wanted to start a website of my own as a hobby (That's what I did before raising children consumed my life.).
I sincerely hope that you find this site useful, thought-provoking, and inspiring. If you know of a good source that I have missed or you have a great craft or printable idea that you would like to see, please drop me an email and let me know! Oh... don't forget to subscribe to Kid Crafts Magazine too!
Happy Crafting,
Chris Yates

Jennifer Capriati: Criminal charges dropped against former tennis star
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Former tennis star Jennifer Capriati is no longer facing battery and stalking charges stemming from an alleged altercation with her ex-boyfriend on Valentine's Day 2013.
The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office confirms that it agreed to drop the charges against Capriati if she completed 30 hours of community service and complete four hours of anger management classes.
According to the state attorney's office, Capriati performed the court-ordered volunteer work at the Florida Hospital Pepin Institute in Tampa.
Last year, North Palm Beach police say Capriati's ex-boyfriend, Ivan Brannan, was working out at a gym Feb. 14 when the 36-year-old Capriati approached him and yelled at him.
Brannan told police that he tried to get away by walking to the men's locker room, but Capriati blocked his path and punched him in the chest.
Brannan told police he and Capriati broke up in 2012 and that she harassed and stalked him since then.

When Laura Wagner, RN walks into the room of a young cancer patient in The Children's Hospital at Sinai, she knows things you don't know; she sees things you wouldn't see; she feels things you wouldn't feel.
A pediatric nurse, with training in oncology, Laura brings her medical knowledge and years of experience into that room. She also brings something else—something that changes everything. She brings the 10-year-old girl she once was—the one who was held in the grip and fear of leukemia.
"Having leukemia as a child definitely influenced my decision to become a nurse. Nurses helped me get through the difficult times, and when I had to decide what I wanted to do, I knew I wanted to become a nurse, specifically in pediatrics," says Laura.
Laura knows from the inside out what her patients and their families experience when they come to The Children's Hospital at Sinai. And because she knows in a deep place inside of her, she is able to relate to them with sensitivity and candor. She is able to hold them in the warmth of her bottomless compassion, to answer their questions, to simply be with them when there is nothing to say.
"As a nurse you are with your patient all day long. You're in and out of the room constantly. You see what they're going through. You see parents and children in their most vulnerable state and you are able to be there for them, even if it is just sitting there and listening to them cry or having them tell you how they feel. The nicest thing is when parents tell me that I've actually helped their child, or that I've made them feel better after talking to them—especially parents who are dealing with a child's illness like cancer. I can sit there with them and they know that I know what they are going through," explains Laura.
Laura was not driven to become a nurse by an insatiable curiosity about science or medicine. She became a nurse because she could not forget the power of real compassion generously given in times of most severe need. Because Laura cannot forget the child she once was, countless children and their parents receive the precious, intangible, unforgettable things that comfort them in their difficult days and sustain them through their long nights.

Christina Lauren—the best-selling author of Beautiful Bastard and Beautiful Stranger—is at it again, this time with Beautiful Bombshell (out Sept. 3). But why wait until next month when you can get a jump-start on the novella now? Read on for a first look at Bombshell which follows Max, Henry, Will, and Bennett as they steal away to Las Vegas for a weekend of strippers and shenanigans. READ FULL STORY
Tag: Beautiful Stranger (1-3 of 3)
Hot Memorial Day reading: Christina Lauren talks 'Beautiful Bastard' follow-up, 'Beautiful Stranger' -- EXCLUSIVE
The first holiday of summer is upon us and we've got just the steamy romance to spice up your Memorial Day weekend: Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren. The follow-up to the best-selling Beautiful Bastard is already available on Kindle, but hits shelves in paperback May 28. We took the time to speak to the two lovely ladies behind the popular erotica novels, Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings (together, they make the pen name Christina Lauren), about their latest release, their thoughts on the fan fic phenom, and their foray into YA.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You're speaking to us from Paris while promoting Beautiful Bastard. What's the reception been like over there?
CHRISTINA HOBBS: Well, it was really funny because both our husbands went sightseeing today while we were working and they went into this little random drugstore in Paris and saw fifty copies of Beautiful Bastard. It's crazy! Even at home, every time I walk into a Target or something and see the book, it doesn't feel real.
Beautiful Bastard originated as Twilight fan fiction much like Fifty Shades of Grey, but your new book Beautiful Stranger is 100% original. How did the experience differ from writing Bastard?
LAUREN BILLINGS: I think for Beautiful Bastard, we really liked the revision process. In fact for BB, that was all I had to really do. I came in, just for the editing part — tore it up, re-wrote the ending, that kind of thing. It was really different because it was just revisions. We didn't really have expectations for what was going to happen with it. With Stranger, the pressure was on because we sold it in this deal to Gallery Books and we wanted to really deliver and make sure it was something that would show that we had grown as writers. So, while the drafting and revision stage were both a little more stressful, it was also more fun. We felt from the beginning this might actually be a good follow-up.
What's the idea behind Beautiful Stranger? It's not a direct sequel to Bastard.
BILLINGS: We had a few different ideas that had been bouncing around, and when we got the deal with Gallery, we weren't really sure which to go with. So we proposed a few and the one that ended up being Stranger was one that Christina had come up with, which was based off the idea of, what happens if you meet someone at a bar? At first, I was like, where are we going to take that? We started talking about it and it just grew from there. Interestingly, the other one that we had loved the most became Beautiful Player, the third book in the series.
So tell me, have you ever had a kinky dalliance with your boss? Or taken home a tall, handsome stranger from a bar?
BILLINGS: [Laughs] I have. In grad school. [[Pauses] Before I met my husband, I definitely had some flirty hook-up nights. But nothing quite like that.
HOBBS: I haven't because I am married to my high school sweetheart.
How does Max, the protagonist of Beautiful Stranger, compare to Bastard's Bennett?
BILLINGS: We say Max is the sugar. Max is just this big, charming sugar. He doesn't have any pretenses; he doesn't need to be defensive about his feelings. In that sense he's very different from Bennett, who is caught off guard by how he feels for Chloe, so it comes out in defensiveness and anger, that sort of heat that a lot of people really love. Max is the opposite of that — he feels what he feels. He doesn't have the need to explain it away.
What I love about this series is that it's not really serious. Despite the comparisons, it's really nothing like Fifty Shades.
BILLINGS: I'm so glad you say that. We don't take ourselves too seriously. We write these books quickly and we have a really good time. We just sort of let them come, ha ha. Pun intended.
HOBBS: We just really want readers to laugh and blush and swoon. If it gives them a few hours of escape, then we feel like we've done exactly what we've wanted.
Since Bastard started as fan fic, it's obviously somewhat polarizing. Can you talk about the reaction you've gotten from readers?
BILLINGS: I think it's a sticky issue. A lot of fan fiction out there, it either has a root in the sort of vampire world of Twilight or it has the same emotional beat as Twilight: the stalker-y male, the demure, shy female. And I think that is sort of where it gets a little sticky. The thing about fic is that there's a whole world of fic out there that has writers that explored their own ability to write things, but it really had no root in the Twilight world. Those are the ones that are in more of a gray area. It didn't have that much of a connection to the original work. What happened was when Fifty Shades of Grey published, there was a lot of backlash because that was the first really big one. It wasn't the first one to publish, but it was the first really big one. And it was the first one to hit it huge, obviously. So people had a lot of feelings about that. With our deal, we had some of that same reaction because people felt that we were exploiting them in some sense. The point is that people who really don't like the book tend to be the ones that also have strong feelings about the origin and don't really see it for being separate from the original. People who come into it not really knowing the background, I think they think it's fun. With Stranger, which is completely original, I think most people, at least as far as I can see, just really love it. It's a fun, swoon story and they're having a good time reading it.
Finally, talk to me about your upcoming YA novel.
HOBBS: For both of us, the thing that we love so much about YA is that it's such a time of self-discovery, when you're learning who you're going to be. You have all these amazing things, like first kisses and first loves and first heartbreaks. At our heart, we're romance writers, so our YA is always going to reflect that. This one, though it's pretty steamy for YA [laughs.]
The paperback edition of Beautiful Stranger hits shelves May 28. The Kindle edition is currently available.

Read an exclusive excerpt from 'Beautiful Stranger,' the follow-up to the steamy 'Twilight' fanfic 'Beautiful Bastard'
"I have a strong urge to devour you."
That's one of the tamer lines from the prologue to Christina Lauren's Beautiful Stranger, a companion novel to the deliciously steamy Beautiful Bastard. For those of you who can stand the heat (and trust me, it gets hot!), we've got an exclusive first look at the follow-up below.
Beautiful Stranger centers on Sara Dillon, a finance whiz who ditches her philandering boyfriend and moves to New York for a new start. There, she meets Max Stella, the ravishing British playboy with big hands and a fetish for naughty photographs, and what was supposed to be a one-night stand develops into a full-fledged fling (translation: they have a lot of sex). Oh, and just in case you were wondering about Miss Mills and Mr. Ryan, they put in an appearance too (but not in that way!). So if you like your hook-ups early and plentiful (as opposed to 40% of the way in, like another popular erotic fanfic), check out the prologue to Beautiful Stranger: READ FULL STORY

California Riding Magazine • January, 2013
The Yard Equine Center
Breeding is a natural addition to rehabilitation facility.
by Kim F. Miller • photos by Kimerlee Curyl
Pat & Vickie Montgomery
The original plan for The Yard Equine Center didn't include breeding. But given that the rehab, rest and retirement facility's main mission is to help nature take its course, it's little surprise that the 60-acre facility now stands two stallions, has a growing broodmare herd and is looking to mix in some top sporthorse stallion lines.
"Everything we do has organic origins, and that's definitely how the breeding aspect came about," explains Vickie Montgomery, who developed and owns The Yard with her husband Pat. The peaceful, beautiful property is located near the Bay Area in the small San Benito County town of Paicines.
The Yard's two Dutch Warmblood stallions, OhJackR (Kojack) and Romeo (Voltaire) came when injuries cut their promising show jumping careers short. Their arrival coincided with the discovery that daughter Tory Montgomery's retired show mares had impressive sporthorse pedigrees and one thing led to another, Vickie explains. She also leased the Holsteiner stallion, Caligula (from Sue Curry), to augment initial endeavors.
The fruits of The Yard's early labors were already in evidence when the facility hosted its second RPSI breeding inspection last year. That's when Captain Morgan, a weanling out of foundation mare, Surrey, a Cor de la Bryere granddaughter by Caligula, earned an 8.6 overall rating and put himself into the stallion prospect category. Caligula is now owned by Dara Rip's Golden Oak breeding program.
A Pilot 1 grandson, OhJackR stamps his babies with his athletic ability, animated personality and lots of bone, Vickie reports. He's a great producer for any sporthorse discipline, as is attested to by the Silver Premium status awarded four of his offspring at the inspection.
Voltaire son Romeo brings two well-known bloodlines to The Yard: Furioso and Ramiro. Romeo's trademarks are beautiful type, quality jump and a great disposition for amateurs in dressage, hunters and jumpers. A 3-year-old daughter of his was awarded Premium Mare status at the inspection.
The babies demonstrate The Yard's intent to produce high quality horses. With amateur riders in mind, good conformation, athletic ability and great temperaments are top priorities.
Surrey is so far the star as The Yard's foundation mare. A former World Cup qualifier mount for Michael Endicott, she is 20 and will soon pass her torch onto The Yard's younger mares, many of which were top jumpers for Tory.
Owner of the recently-reactivated Tory Montgomery Show Stables, Tory gives The
Yard an edge as a breeder because of her ability to develop its youngsters, bring them to a show-ready state and compete them up to Grand Prix. At the same time, her gift for communicating with all of the horses in The Yard's charge makes her an integral part of the program's success.
Surrey & Captain Morgan
Balancing Act
The Yard's mission to rehabilitate horses is based on balancing the physical, physiological and psychological areas of the horse, Vickie explains. Traditional and non-traditional methods are embraced equally, all with an eye toward re-educating horses to carry their bodies in healthier ways. "Yes, we want to fix the bowed tendon," she notes. "But we also want to know why it happened and help prevent it from recurring.
"The most important part is that the horse's head needs to be in the game," she continues. "Mentally, they have to trust us, but too often humans have put them in situations where they are not allowed to do that. To be successful, we have to get them to be open, without fear or tension."
Mother and daughter are a powerful team in that regard. Once a horse is rehabbed enough to begin under-saddle conditioning work, Tory's skills and sensitivity as a rider come into play. "She's a very sensitive soul," Vickie says. "She really gets a feel for them through her seat and hands, finding tight areas in the hip, the neck, the shoulders, etc."
These reports give Vickie a head start when she begins bodywork. "Tory will tell me a horse is locked up between his left shoulder and right hind quarter, for example. That's great because it saves me the time of trying to find it, which speeds up the whole process."
Which is not to say that The Yard is set on speedy fixes: quite the contrary. However, there is something about the place that seems to bring about both remarkable and, often, remarkably fast improvements. A devotee of healing methods that help the subject heal itself, Vickie is no stranger to the impact a healthy environment can have. Still, she's taken aback by the extent to which simply being at The Yard affects the horses.
"We spent a lot of time thinking about what would help the horses be most comfortable, but I didn't anticipate how much the horses would really kind of settle in here. They wear a smile on their face." She attributes this phenomenon to the equine grapevine. "I think the horses send a message to the new ones, saying, 'Hey, it's cool here, there's nothing to worry about.'"
The resulting state of mind sets the stage for effective application of various treatments and therapies. The Leg Saver, Game Ready, treadmill, Euro-walker, Theroscope 1000, Impulse Line Magnetic Blanket and the McLaren Phototonic Laser are among the types of therapeutic equipment in The Yard's arsenal. Sensitive and well-trained hands are equally powerful and much-used tools. Vickie practices several forms of bodywork, most of them based on moving energy rather than bone and muscle manipulation.
Quantum Energetics Structured Therapy (QEST), as performed and taught by licensed Equine Touch® instructor and practitioner Trudy Johnson, is an "energy release" modality that Vickie is particularly high on.
None work magic, Vickie acknowledges. "In aiming to treat the whole body, it's always a combination of modalities." Nor is there a recipe that works on every horse, or even on the same horse all the time. "Sometimes the body sets up blockers to a certain modality, and you have to figure that out." Every case calls for open mindedness and picking up on the horse's
many cues.
Educating horse owners is an important part of The Yard's work. Toward that end, the beautiful venue hosts clinics with top trainers and practitioners whose methods fit with The Yard's overall mission of enhancing the comfort and welfare of all horses, whether they are patients or not.
Vickie is excited about hunter/jumper legend Bernie Traurig's return to The Yard, Jan. 14-15. His simple and effective techniques are a perfect training complement to the care and healing lifestyle The Yard provides. Although very different in content, an in-the-works clinic with Trudy Johnson and the QEST energy work process will be another good educational fit. Both are examples of the many components needed to fulfill The
Yard's mission of helping horses feel and perform their best.

three columbia men indicted for cocaine conspiracy
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Beth Phillips, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced today that three Columbia, Mo., men have been indicted by a federal grand jury for their role in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine in Boone County, Mo.
Michael Jerome Walker, Jr., 26, Matthew Raymond Olsson, also known as "Odog Phatty," 32, and Corey Wayne Everage, 32, all of Columbia, were charged in a five-count indictment returned under seal by a federal grand jury in Jefferson City, Mo., on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010. That indictment was unsealed and made public today following Everage's arrest and initial court appearance.
The federal indictment alleges that Walker, Olsson and Everage participated in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine in Boone County in August and September 2010.
The indictment also charges each of the co-defendants with one count each of possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute.
Everage is also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Everage was allegedly in possession of a loaded Rossi .357-caliber revolver on Sept. 13, 2010. Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition. Everage has prior felony convictions for stealing, leaving the scene of an accident and distributing a controlled substance.
The indictment also contains a forfeiture allegation, which would require Walker and Olsson to forfeit to the government any property used to commit the alleged offenses, or that was derived from the proceeds of the offense, including a 2000 Mercedes Benz and $8,141 that was seized by law enforcement officers.
Phillips cautioned that the charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
This case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Berry. It was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Columbia, Mo., Police Department, the Boone County, Mo., Sheriff's Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Compare Prices on Oasis of the Seas Western Caribbean Cruises
Pretty Awesome
Keep in mind - this was my first cruise. So, I have no frame of reference and nothing to compare it to. But, I have to say - it was amazing. The ship is beautiful, the level of service we received was fabulous. In the entire week, I encountered only one employee who was surly. And, I was almost always pleasantly surprised by the level of friendliness that we encountered from each employee - from store clerks to bartenders to cabin stewards - they all smiled and said hello and made eye contact.
Now - I've heard a lot of complaints about the food in the MDR. While I'm not a gourmet, I enjoyed almost all the dishes we had. Some were fabulous, and some were just OK. In fact, the much lauded onion tart was not amazing. But, it was fine. On the other hand, the filet of beef was tender and delicious! I found the potion sizes perfect. They appeared small, but really they were exactly right. As a rather light eater, I was able to finish everything on my plate. And isn't that the point? More To eat everything that you want and not waste food? After all, had I wanted more food after eating that first plate, the waiter would have brought me more! But, I didn't. An appetizer, main course, and dessert were a perfect amount of food.I traveled with my 13 year old son. I do feel that the teen club was poorly run. My son enjoyed himself, but the stories he told about what went on in the club made me very concerned. There were multiple games of "Truth or Dare' which had the teens being pantsed, kissing strangers, and discussing sexual exploits. I also understand that there might have been some drug use. Yes, I know that these were activities NOT sanctioned by the ship, but neither were they monitored or refereed by the teen club employees. I really feel that there should have been more oversight there.
There was so much to do on the ship that there was almost no need to disembark at the ports. But, we did. Well, we did at the first two, not the third. We had a great time at the zip line in Haiti and at Dunns River Falls in Jamaica. It should be noted that the Dunns Falls climb is actually rather difficult to do. The pictures I had seen made it all seem rather tame, but it's not. I would have fallen several times, had the man next to me in line not saved me. Don't expect a touristy, safe experience here. It's enjoyable, but much more difficult than I had expected.
Our cabin, while small, was adequate. There were sufficient shelves and cubbies to store out belongings. The closet had a double bar, allowing you to hang quite a lot of clothing in there. The shower was so small that it was difficult to jut my elbows out to wash my hair, but it wasn't impossible. The television set was huge, and the available stations were more than adequate. I enjoyed watching some of the ship's stations, covering the day's activities onboard and such.Finally, my son has food allergies. And, although we discussed them in detail with our waiter and head waiter on the first day, and had filed the special need form well in advance of the cruise, after that first day, no notice was made of his allergies at all. In fact, I had to ask the waiter at every meal if the food choices that my son made were free from allergens, and in each case he didn't know and said he'd have to check. And, the one time that I was sick and unable to come to dinner, the waiter NEVER checked, and might even have brought my son food to which he was allergic. He never had a reaction, so perhaps I am mistaken. But my son ordered a dish with pesto (not knowing what pesto is), and it normally contains pine nuts - to which my son is allergic. Less

Cabin review: Oasis of the Seas Central Park view Stateroom with Balcony Deck 10
Cabin 11233- Central Park View. We didn't have much of a view of Central Park, but having a balcony was nice. With the door open it was quite noisy, but with it shut you could barely hear outside noise. Our beds were by the balcony door, and the sofa was near the closet.

I found that I wasnt able to add ACLs directly to the bastille-firewall.cfg script.
After doing some reading, here is my how-to and hopefully others will find it useful:
In this case I want to restrict ssh access to only one IP address (you can configure it for any number depending on your needs)
I order to restrict access to certain source IPs for certain protocols, using the Bastille-firewall setup you need to firstly create a new directory under /etc/Bastille. This directory needs to be called firewall.d
#cd /etc/Bastille
#mkdir firewall.d
You then need to create a new file within the newly created directory called post-rule-setup.sh
#cd firewall.d
#vi post-rule-setup.sh
This is the file where any IPTABLES rules can be entered. When you restart bastille.cfg the script is read and the rules applied. A knowledge of IPTABLES is required but once you get the hang of it, it is easy enough.
So in my case I want to allow ssh access to only 188.8.131.529 and deny it to ALL other IP addresses, so my post-rule-setup.sh file will look like this:
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 22.214.171.1249 --dport 22 --syn -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 --syn -j REJECT
The first line accepts ssh (tcp port 22) connections only from 22.214.171.1249 and the second line denies ALL other source IP addresses. If there is no match in this case 126.96.36.1999 then all traffic bound for port 22 will be denied.
Ok now we have our rule we need to restart bastille.cfg
#/etc/init.d/bastille-firewall restart
A successfully read script will yield the following
Setting up IP spoofing protection... done.
Allowing traffic from trusted interfaces... done.
Setting up chains for public/internal interface traffic... done.
Setting up general rules... done.
Setting up outbound rules... done
The last line is the one we are interested in. If your IPTABLES rules are not understood or written incorrectly then you will get the following output when you restart bastille.cfg
Setting up IP spoofing protection... done.
Allowing traffic from trusted interfaces... done.
Setting up chains for public/internal interface traffic... done.
Setting up general rules... done.
Setting up outbound rules..../post-rule-setup.sh: line 5: -I: command not found
You will need to go back into your post-rule-setup.sh and modify it.
You can specify a subnet simply by using for example 192.168.0.0/24 notation in your rule set

Vietnam forum
3 Weeks South to North over CHRISTMAS period!
Joined Travelfish
7th October, 2013

Hi to all in the the travelfish community. My first post here so looking for some much needed advice and help.
As my title explains, I am visiting Vietnam between 7th - 29th December this year, travelling SOLO! 5 years ago I done a gap year with my best pal to "find myself" and travel (drinking mainly in hostels with other).. now I'm 25 and decided it's time to dust down the backpack and visit Asia again.
I have spend around 12 weeks in total in South East Asia before so I know what to expect in a way, my main difference this time is I'm going alone and for only 3 weeks not 12 months.
I don't want to pre plan my whole trip as I worry it could hamper my experience. Instead, I know I want to end up in Hanoi on Christmas eve and from Boxing Day to the morning of 29th visit Halong Bay. The time in between is mine to travel and explore so please give me some advice
I have read from research that the weather will be milder in the south so I don't want to head into Hanoi before the 24th (at least I can come home with some sort of tan!)
My initial rough plan involves mulling around Saigon for a day or two to get over the jet lag (flying from London) and get used to my surroundings, then head up the coast to visit some beach towns. I was thinking to fly from Danang to Hanoi to save time, but would like to stay in Hue first so would mean going back on myself?
My main worry is Hanoi at Christmas. I know Vietnam isn't a Christian country but I expect a lot of European travellers will be staying in the hostels etc. Can anyone recommend somewhere from previous experience?
Also, the most popular question... Halong Bay boat tours... has anyone been on a tour just after Christmas?
Thanks for reading, any little tips or stories would be appreciated.
Oh and my budget is going to be around £300 a week, £900 in total. The exchange rate works out at about 1,500,000 dong per day for everything. I plan to stay in hostels or hotels. I would prefer a bit of luxury in the hostels if possible and would be drinking a few beers every now and eating in mid range budget restaurants (but would also love to be eating with the locals and trying the wonderful street food) Does this seem a reasonable budget?
Happy travelling

You'd never know you're in a Communist country, because the Vietnamese love Xmas, and decorate more than we do in the States. I love Hanoi , and you probably will too because it's such an intimate friendly town. Stay in the Old Quarter or Cathedral District - I suggest Hanoi Backpackers Hostel on Ngo Huyen Street or the Especen Hotel around the corner. This page gives a good link to a Hanoi Old Quarter map. By the way, that's more than enough $$$!
One more tip, go to Sapa in the NW Highlands - an awesome place

Yeah, as Daawgon said, Ngo Huyen is the most popular street for backpackers that looking for a budget hostel and it takes only 3 minutes on foot to Joseph's Cathedral. Vietnam isn't a Christian but we still decorate as a Christian and warmly welcome every where you go in the city on Chiristmas. The weather is a little bit cold at that time in Hanoi (totally different from the South of Vietnam). If you want to meet up local please feel free to contact me. I can not show you around but definitely I'll give you some best street foods in Hanoi. The budget is reasonable or not depending on how long are you staying in the North? I don't know much about the price in the South but about Hanoi I can give you a quick response. Leave me more detail if you need help.

The above posts say right about Christmas in Hanoi. Hanoian love Christmas and decorate the streets a lot. Especially young people, they often go out to celebrate Christmas. You will have a nice time there, don't worry.
For cruises in Halong bay, there are no differences if you go just after Christmas. Everything will be as normal. Halong bay cruises are very professional in event celebrations and their services, so don't worry. I think a 3 star will cater basic needs very well: good foods, private cabins, private bathroom with hot water, but if you need a bit luxurious, choose a 4 star. Glory Preminum is very nice 4 star one, which offer reasonable prices.

Shaman are versatile magic-based characters with the capability to deal impressive damage with offensive spells while also strengthening themselves and their allies with invaluable support skills. With their unique abilities, a shaman can be indispensable in group play and also can take on challenges alone, if they so wish.
In general, shamans value intelligence over all else because with more INT points, attack skill damage increases as well as the effect of most buffs and support skills. Vitality and dexterity are popular followers given their positive effect on survivability and overall power, respectively.
Of course, there are many variations of shaman builds depending on a player's specific preference in gameplay. Different builds serve different purposes whether it's pure PvM, pure PvP, support, or some hybrid of these roles. As such, it is highly recommended to check out the Shaman section of the forum to read about different opinions and experiences on this subject.
Shaman are unique in their weaponry, being the only class unable to wield a sword, but the only class that can hold a fan or bell.
to see a complete list of shaman weapons, see Shaman Weapons
Shaman armor is called clothing, though players often still call shaman armor dresses, since female was the only available gender for shaman earlier in Metin2 history.
to see a complete list of shaman armor, see Shaman Armor
Once a shaman reaches level 5, he or she is able to choose between two unique subclasses with different skills. These two classes are Healing Force and Dragon Force.
to see a complete list of shaman skills for both subclasses, see Shaman skills
Healing Force
Healing Force shaman are characterized by their most valuable skill from which their name comes: cure, the skill that restores hp and has a chance to cure negative effects. The effectiveness of this skill is based on the level of that skill and the shaman's magic attack power, rather than just intelligence. Besides the unique ability to heal his or herself and allies, healer shaman are known for their quick cooldown and speed from their swiftness skill, which is only affected by skill level, and not by intelligence or magic attack power. The combination of self-healing, swift moving and casting speed, and a set of fast attack spells make healer shaman very formidable opponents in PvP or can allow for some impressive PvM options as well.
Dragon Force
Dragon Force shaman are most in demand for their ability to buff allies with game-enhancing stats such as high chance of critical hits and resistance to physical attacks. The effectiveness of the buff skills are dependent on skill level and intelligence only. As such, a low level weapon with an intelligence bonus will cast a better buff than a higher level weapon without an intelligence bonus. However, dragon shaman also have powerful offensive skills with the ability to cause lasting fire damage and with wide areas of splash attack well suited for PvM and can be useful in PvP as well. To round out the dragon shaman skill set is a fast, long distance attack similar to that of the healer shaman. Dragon shaman do quite well with hybrid builds of both PvM and PvP, but can choose skill sets that are focused on one or the other.
Once again, it is recommended to visit the Shaman section of the forum to hear personal opinions from experienced shaman players.

Legend tells us that General Robert E. Lee boarded his horse in this carriage house -- most likely when his daughters were attending a private school across the street, Stuart Hall. It still has the very high ceilings, some original exposed brick wall, the old beams -- but everything else has been totally renovated and restored.
