Posting this as a 9 year blogger and observer of the yellow bubble. I don't like reactionary blog posts either, so please feel free to ignore and skip by.
It seems to me that the most "social" and community orientated people have left IBM/Lotus.
Chris Blatnick, Darren Adams, Tim Clark, Mary Beth Raven, Alan Lepofsky, Kathleen McGivney. The list goes on. I am happy for all of them as they have moved on to bigger and better things. IBM, the list of people that get standing ovations, thanked, recognised publicly and appreciated by the community (that consists of Business Partners and customers) grows thin.
I'm happy for everyone moving on. I'm sure IBM replace the people with new blood that will continue internal "business as usual". My question is, who will replace them in the public "social" world?
A face is the cheapest form of marketing.
And yes, I most likely will regret posting this later.

Some people can get away with anything. Eric Swan, an unemployed Brit at the center of Michael Cooney's farcical comedy "Cash on Delivery," has managed to defraud the government for two years, thanks to a slew of fictitious tenants and the never-ending stream of social security checks that arrive in the mail.
If you think that's audacious, and it is, then also consider a community theater getting away with staging a play that features not a single redeeming character, yet somehow ends up being a pretty good hoot.
"Cash," directed by Karen Rolston for Gilbert's Hale Centre Theatre, is in most ways a cookie-cutter British farce: slamming doors, frantic antics, broad gags, cross-dressing — everything but the kitchen sink, though there is a cameo by an overactive washing machine.
Behind such silly stupidity, though, lies a potent satire of bureaucracy. At the play's start, Eric (played by Matthew Crosby) wants to stop his grand fraud — conscience seems to have gotten the better of him — but slippery slopes aren't easy to climb back up. A wormy inspector, Jenkins (Nick Jones), stops by for signatures on a form, and before long Eric — pretending to be a cane-leaning tenant with a bout of gout — finds his house overrun by social workers, his deception tangling up into a hilarious mess, the checks ever on their way.
"I'm in a nightmare," Eric pleads, shoving his face into a sofa cushion. "They keep sending me more and more money!"
"Cash" starts slowly, building like a teakettle to a rollicking boil, leaving little room to realize there's not a sympathetic character in the lot. Eric, of course, is a con artist; his none-the-wiser wife, Linda (Christina Rae Stewart), is a bit of an ogress; even a marriage counselor (Mike Hummel) — "relationship arbitrator," he prefers — making a house call comes across as a simpering buffoon.
Like most British farces, the comedy is broad, and the jokes, like doors to the face and double-entendres galore, can be predictable. But director Rolston, less interested in playing traffic cop at the farce's demolition derby of hijinks, directs with a keen ear for the play's verbal gags, as when the phrase "heartless tart" is volleyed as an insult, only to be excused as a dessert item.
Crosby's Eric may not be altogether likable, but the actor himself definitely is: wild splays of blond locks, eyes that bug out, a toothy grin flashing in nervous response as the plot posits some new bureaucratic obstacle.
But it's Kevin Tretter, as a tenant unwittingly wrapped up in the fraud, who earns the most laughs — forced to play a deaf piano tuner, utterly uncomfortable with the prospect of lying. At one anxious point, he locks Jenkins in the dining room. Why?
He explains: "It seemed like a good idea at the time!"

Date: Monday, June 30, 2014
From: Andrew Moon
To: All Network Logix Clients
Subject: Network Logix and System Care Inc
Today is a big day in Network Logix history.
This morning, I signed a "definitive agreement" for the merger of Network Logix with System Care Inc, (www.systemcareinc.com) a leading provider of managed technology services for small to mid-sized businesses, based in Cleveland, OH.
First, I want to apologize for the suddenness of this announcement. We have partnered on several projects with System Care over the last few years. Several months ago, both sides expressed some interest in accelerating the growth here in the state of Ohio initially. As we discussed this further, both sides became more and more excited about the possibilities for leveraging each other's strengths. We realized that we are both very client-focused companies, and our cultures of providing excellence were a perfect match.
I think that now is the right time to join forces with System Care because there is a huge opportunity to leverage each other's strengths and move even faster towards our long-term vision. With the merger, our vision remains the same: delivering happiness to clients, employees and vendors. We just want to get there faster.
We are excited about doing this for 3 main reasons:
- We think there is a huge opportunity for us to really accelerate the benefits of efficient technology use for our clients, and we believe that System Care is the best partner to help us get there faster.
- I want to align ourselves with a company that thinks really long-term, as well as does what's in the best interest of our clients.
- The depth of staff and expertise offered by System Care will allow us to provide a better level of service and support that our clients deserve.
Q: How will I receive Technical Support going forward?
You will still request technical assistance using the same method you always have. You can email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Help Desk at 614-503-7139 option 2. Those of you that have interacted with our Help Desk over the last few months have already been working with the System Care staff, as we have been utilizing their service team since January. Many of you have received assistance from David Violante. He will remain your first-level account technician. We will be assigning multiple senior technicians to your account in order to provide an even higher level of support to you.
Q: Is Andrew leaving?
No, I have no plans to leave. I will be assuming the position of Tactical Operations Manager for both the Cleveland and Columbus offices. I believe that we are at the very beginning of what's possible for System Care, and I am very excited about the future and what we can accomplish for our clients. Part of the reason for doing this is so that we can get a lot more done more quickly. System Care has a wealth of experience in a lot of areas, so I am excited to tap into their knowledge, expertise, and resources, especially on the technology side. This is about making our client's business stronger than they are today.
All this being said, this was not an easy decision. Over the past several months, I had to weigh all the pros and cons along with the potential benefits and risks. At the end of the day, I realized that, once I determined that this was in the best interests of our clients, it basically boiled down to asking myself two questions:
- Do I believe that this will accelerate the ability to provide superior customer service to our clients?
- Do I believe that we will be able to help our clients grow faster through efficient use of technology?
After spending a lot of time with System Care and getting to know them and understanding their intentions better, I reached the conclusion that the answers to these 2 questions are YES and YES.
I will be holding in-person meetings with all the key client stakeholders during the next 30-60 days to discuss things in more detail. As always, I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
It's definitely an emotional day for me. The feelings I'm experiencing are similar to what I felt at graduation day: excitement about the future mixed with fond memories of the past. The last 10 years were an incredible ride, and I'm excited about what we will accomplish together over the next 10 years and beyond as we continue to grow with you!

Yes, this is a very strange little project. A metal cover band (at least for the time being) that covers brutal songs from bands such as Metallica, Pantera, and Sepultura with string instruments. This is very similar to the infamous String Quartet group that does those shitty tribute albums to Linkin Park and U2. But this is metal. You would at first thought think this sucks. Well actually it's quite good and in certain cases these covers are more enjoyable than the originals. For instance, you wouldn't think listening to One, one more goddamn time, would be interesting. Well replace the guitars, drums, and Hetfield's dumbass with cellos and you have yourself a trip. The album is overall good but it has its ups and downs.
On the previous album it was nothing but Metallica covers. Starting with this album they began to write more and more original material and straying away from covers. But like everything they had to start off small, with just 3 originals. Harmageddon begins very softly and then busts into some cool cello "riff" interplay with a third melody played over it. Many disagree with the fact that Apocalyptica rules at writing originals but yes. They do. This song is very badass and goes through several stages and time changes. The music really makes it seem as if you're listening to a metal song, which I'm sure is what they were going for. It starts to slow down 3 minutes into it but comes back with a "chorus" like part that's pretty emotive giving you a dense atmosphere. It definitely fits its name. M.B. is the second best track on the album. I don't know what the name means but oh well it kicks ass. Like I said, these guys can fucking write riffs. Like in Harmageddon they have the duel riffing cellos with a cool melody/solo cello belting out leads. Listen to that middle section; you can almost taste the atmosphere. Toreador however is a very boring track. Skippable at best.
They still have 4 Metallica covers but they throw some weirder shit in like a Faith No More cover, some Sepultura covers, and a Pantera cover. Not being a fan of Faith No More, their cover is the only song I'm not familiar with but it sounds kind of dull when Apocalyptica does it. The gems of album are the Sepultura covers. Refuse/Resist sounds just as fucking heavy as the real song. The way they mimic Max's vocal pattern is musical gold really. I have to give the soloist a hand. This is the only song that they don't tack off a couple minutes off of as well. Inquisition Symphony, the title track, was the best track on Schizophrenia and they cover it beautifully. I was amazed the first time I heard them shredding like that on cellos. Highlight of the album. The Pantera cover another track you can skip on the album. Pantera and cellos is something that should never be mixed… ever. Domination is a wonderful song but you can't reinvent the aggression of Phil's vocals or Dimebag's leads. Also the "drums" get very annoying.
We've all heard these Metallica songs so there isn't much to comment on except a few highlights. You think Fade to Black was full of emotion? Well Apocalyptica has it in spades and put it to good use in both this, One, AND Nothing Else Matters. I guess they figured it's easier to use cellos with more emotional music than groove metal.
The covers are good but Apocalyptica, probably realizing it was time to become a real band, starting putting out the excellent stuff after this album. If you like this, definitely check out Cult or Reflections. Or if you only liked the Metallica covers you can always take a step back with the debut.
Well this is much better than the debut if you ask me, now they got the metallica songs I really like and also some music from bands I've only heard of and never heard thier music including some originals, treat! I mean the cellos are a nice touch on metal covers but I think it's about time we heard some originals from everyone's favorite cello quartet.
The album starts with an Apocalyptica original "Harmageddon", sounds quite psychotic with all the screeching in between (and in some parts it sounds like Danni Filth from Cradle of Filth wailing in the background), but it is moody and melancholic, and there are some parts that sound like Priest-ish octaves, which gives a nice touch. Quite a pleasing track all round.
Then comes "From out of nowhere" now this is a cover for Faith No More, a band I haven't heard to date, but this song is giving me a good impression. It doesn't sound really heavy compared to the other tracks on the album, but I like it's pace.
Now for another Metallica cover, "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is one of the more moody tracks on the album, I haven't heard the original, but this quite good.
After that comes the favorite "Nothing Else Matters", which sounds billions of times better than the original, the cellos give more atmosphere and mood than what metallica did. This track would make any metal hater think twice.
"Refuse/Resist" comes next, a Sepultura classic or so many sepultura tell me. I haven't heard much of Sepultura (not needing to mention that I'm not much of a thrash metal fan myself). it's one of the heaviest tracks in the album, where the cellos sound like grinding machines in some parts, which does give an interesting touch.
Another original by Apocalyptica comes next, strangely called "M.B.", man-butt, mostly-bull, major-bull, mentally-boring, megabeth... I really don't know what it stands for. it's not really a bad track, I just don't like the first part of it, but halfway it suddenly turns into some creepy quite melody that quickens up. half a classic I'd say.
Another favorite which surprisingly is a sepultura cover, the title track of the album "Inquisition Symphony". I really like the solo in this, wonderfully played, though I haven't heard the the original to this, but I doubt it comes any better than this cover, it's very aggressive and moody, one of the heaviest tracks in the album aswell.
"Fade To Black" is next, another Metallica cover, wonderful intro that gives it a good melancholic mood at the start. then it picks up beautifully in the end.
and now for something completley different, a Pantera cover, "Domination" is a nice track, if you ask me, it sounds quite strange in the beginning. but it's the only track in the album that sounds alot like the stuff in the debut album done better even without the drums.
"Toreador" is the last of the originals in this album, it's the best of the three, it's heavier than the first two. The aggressiveness in this is nice and it's very steady. Beautiful is the only word to describe it.
To conlude this album yet anothe metallica cover, "One", one of my favorite tracks in the album, and once again much better than the original, yes believe me, the even the solo sounds better here, and the intro to this absolutley beautiful and it smoothly gets better as it changes, the heavy bit of the track sounds awesome.
Once again an album that's done without any precussion whatsoever, but this sounds miles better than the debut, Apocalyptica has improved greatly with the release of this album, if you didn't like "Apocalyptica plays Metallica on four cellos", give them a second chance and give this a try, you won't be dissapointed.
Tip: listen to Apocalyptica with a bass boost on thier music for the ultimate Apocalyptic experience
This album reaches its high points in their covers, which there are plenty of. The highest point of the covers are the metallica ones. The sepultura covers are the second best, followed by the Pantera then Faith no More. All the covers are better than the origonal material preformed by Apocalyptica. Its my opinion that the band doesn't have very good song writing skills of their own, thats why at this point in their career stuck to the covers...that and to be labeled as metal and to get people to notice them.
The cover are done very well, I would choose to listen to these covers over the origonal songs any day. In part because I have heard the metallica songs a million times, and in part they suck when played by Metallica. It seems when this band plas the covers of Metallica they sound different and unique, they really do well in converting them from their orignal purpose as thrash metal songs into neo-classical metal songs, that in itself seems to take some thought and talent. I was never much of a fan or a fan at all of the other bands, so the other covers songs and their orignals were not well known to me. For that reason they come second to the metallica ones, also to me they seem less interesting, but I can't blame the band for that, since they didn't write it, that fault goes to the original writers of the songs.
The origonal material has nothing to boast about. Its boring and nothing happens in it. I would just blame this on the bands inexperiance, and up to this point I would label them a cover band because their origonal material is bad, like the stuff of early cover bands. The best songs on this album are the Metallica covers Nothing Else Matters and One. I think they should have chosen better songs to cover to make this album great. As it is its more of a novelty album, rather mediocre. Their are 4 good Metallica Covers, and two decent other songs, so I gave 10 points per listenable song.
I would probably have rated this better, except there are too many covers on here to really warrant an 'A' rating. I would also have rated it worse had it not been for the fact that the challenge of playing celo covers of some of the more ass-kicking songs in metal and still managing to beat the shit out of the listener is handled very well by these very talented gentlemen.
The covers are a bit more diverse on the album, and the amount of sound produced by the cellos is increased, both of which contribute to this album's higher replay value than Plays Metallica by Four Cellos. The playing is more aggressive (neccessary for the Sepultura covers on here), but there is also a lot of beautiful ballad playing on a very romantic instument (the cello) as well.
The most brutal stuff on here is without a doubt the two Sepultura covers and the Pantera cover. Out of these, the most successful cover is Inquisition Symphony, which is extremely well-done and will have you headbanging in no time (I won't really review the actual song, but the general idea is a slow, quiet buildup into a climax and then several minutes of non-stop thrash). The other Sepultura cover on here, Refuse, Resist, has all the intensity of the real thing, although my favorite part of the actual song (the opening back-and-forth playing of the guitars and the conga drums [or whatever they are]) is only reproduced fairly well (the cello players slap their instruments to mimic the drums). The Pantera cover, Domination, just doesn't really do it for me (it's really hard to reproduce Phil Anselmo's rather unique vocals on any instrument, let alone a cello).
Apparantly sensing that the most successful song on the last album was The Unforgiven, Apocalyptica has decided to do covers of Metallica's two other classic ballads (Fade to Black and One), and they both sound fantastic. The haunting opening of Fade to Black is well-reproduced by a combination of light pizzicato (string plucking) and a beautifully played reproduction of the opening guitar solo. The cellos blend really well with each other, and the effect is incredible (and the "vocals" played by the lead cello, in my opinion, sound much better than Hetfield's rough voice in the ballad). The other ballad, One, lacks the really poignant opening sounds of war that are in the actual song, but is again well-reproduced with a combination of pizzicato and beautiful playing. Every note is on, and the musicians know exactly what to bring out and what to push back. This is excellent musicianship combined with beautiful songs; a really great combination.
The three original songs on here are pretty good, but Apocalyptica doesn't really get their shit together in terms of original songs until the next album, Cult. This album has some incredible covers, though, and it is really worth the money.

This is my mantra for 2011 . . .
Procrastination is not an option.
Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn�t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better be running.
Abe Gubegna
Ethiopia, circa 1974
A thought from Oren Arnold-
Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.
Merry Christmas to one and all,
A video I borrowed from YouTube. Please stop at some point today and reflect for a moment on the true reason for Memorial Day. We owe them much!
I ran across these two quotes that struck a chord with me; thought I would share them:
Oliver Wendell Holmes once attended a meeting in which he was the shortest man present.� "Dr. Holmes," quipped a friend, "I should think you'd feel rather small among us big fellows."� "I do," retorted Holmes, "I feel like a dime among a lot of pennies."� ~Author Unknown
Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
~Karen Ravn
Cardio workout pre-flight:

4. Listen to body when it signals, "all is not well."
5. Stop BEFORE you get dizzy!
6. Pack a post-workout snack, especially if #3 was not completed.
7. Engage brain prior to initiating exercise.

'New rules our bid to curb child trafficking'Comment on this story
Johannesburg - Child trafficking has become an increasing problem in Africa and the world, Deputy Home Affairs Minister Fatima Chohan said.
"The Department of Home Affairs has the responsibility to act in an endeavour to curb this evil," she said in a speech in Johannesburg.
"For this reason, we have now put in place various requirements when people travel across our borders with a child."
Chohan said people would have to get used to the provisions as they were "here to stay".
The requirements were:
* When parents travelled with a child they had to produce an unabridged birth certificate of the child reflecting the particulars of both parents;
* In the case of one parent travelling with a child, in addition to producing an unabridged birth certificate, a consenting affidavit from the other parent had to be produced.
* When a person travelled with a child who was not his/her biological child, they had to provide a copy of the child's unabridged birth certificate, a consenting affidavit from the parents/legal guardian, copies of the identity documents/passports of the parents/legal guardian, and their contact details.
"These provisions form part of our international commitments to root out child-trafficking," said Chohan.

To go solo or not to go solo...that is the question
Sorry if this is really long... I have a lot of ideas running through my head right now. Also, wasn't sure which board this should go under but it seems to fit here....
I've decided that my New Years Resolution is to lose about 50lbs (that will put me at my ideal weight). Since that's a lofty goal and not easily reached (since I have the worlds largest sweet tooth and like to eat), I decided that I want to reward myself with a trip to WDW. Obviously, I know that it will take a while to lose the weight (which just gives me time to save money). During this time though, I'm trying to decide now if I should go on this trip solo or not (since this plays a big part in how much I have to save).
I've been to WDW three times. The first two times were with my DH. The third and most recent trip we took our niece and nephews (the oldest of which lives with us and is pretty much our kid).
I've enjoyed all three trips, but even with just DH and I, I feel like our plans become more centered around what he wants to do. A great example is eating. He's so picky when it comes to food that if is not basic food he won't even try it (he loves Yachtsman Steakhouse and 50's Primetime Cafe but won't even try Yak and Yeti). I feel like I'm missing out on really great food and experiences because he's so stubborn about what he eats. Also, he doesn't know what it means to relax. His style is pretty much be there at rope drop and don't leave until the park closes. I would prefer to have some relaxation time on my 'vacation'. I like to lay around the pool or go to the spa and really relax. I also like to take my time shopping without being rushed out of stores. Its really frustrating for me because I do almost all the planning but then I let what others want to do run over top of my plans. (I'm just way to much of a people pleaser even when its at my own expense).
At first a solo trip sounds perfect. I can reward myself for hard work in losing weight (and I will lose the weight!!). I can go on this trip and finally do what I want to do, eat what I want to eat, and do everything at my own pace. I would also have more freedom on which time of year to go and where to stay.
But....then I get to thinking... my DH loves Disney so much. I know it would make him sad if I went without him (even though he does support my solo trip idea). Also, I think that I would miss not having someone to talk too. Especially while dining. I like to have company and someone to chat with about the events of the day. I worry that I would feel guilty going by myself.
So, then I got to thinking that it should be a family trip with DH and our nephew (who lives with us). But then it doesn't really feel like much of a reward for me, does it? If I spring for a famly trip, I would make it clear that part of this trip is for me only. If he wants to go from sun up to sun down at the parks that is fine. But he might have to do it without me. If I want to spend time at the pool then that is what I'm giong to do. Also, he would have to be willing to either try new places to eat (he might find out that he likes it) or he would have to eat without me some days because I am going to try new places. (I could also tell him the only way he gets to go is if he also loses weight and see how motivated he is!!!)
I'm open to any thoughts or opinions...what would you do in this situation? Solo? Family trip (with the understanding that this is my trip and my itinerary...and not give in like usual?). For solo travelers that leave people home that love WDW as much as you, how do you not feel a little guilty for going without them?

I would either go solo, or make it very clear that if you go as a family you'll be taking time away to do your own thing. Would it be possible for you to combine the two, and travel there a few days early and have your own time before they join you? It seems like a lot of people who go solo worry about dining alone, so if you went alone you could use your dining time to call home and catch up on each other's days, that way you'd have your solo time but still be in touch regularly and not feel so isolated.
Good luck on your weight loss!!

I'm going solo for the first time, without the kids and DH. I want to do things they won't let me do, like sing along with the songs, pose with characters, etc. My kids get this and are happy that I'm going, DH is a little nervous being home with the pack. I am also in the midst of losing weight and getting healthy. This is the first time that I don't have to worry about anyone but myself, and if that is selfish, so be it!

I'd say either go solo, or combine a part solo/part family trip.

I think it will be difficult to take a family trip and expect it to go much differently than it normally has -- with others' preferences trumping your own. You already know how they behave at WDW, do you think they will be able to modify that without frustration for any of you? Only you can answer that.
Sounds like you might really enjoy a solo trip for the reasons you mention. As for meals, the CMs sometimes like to chat, or you can take a book, make notes for your journal, write postcards, text loved ones, go thru photos on your camera. There are plenty of things to do while you wait. I personally wouldn't be talking on the phone. Restaurants were either very noisy, or others were seated far too close and I didn't want them to have to listen to me yakking on the phone during their meal.
Guilt? You do a lot for your family. It's ok to take a few days for yourself. No need to feel guilty.
Best wishes on reaching your goal, however you decide to celebrate!

Celebrate alone. The freedom is awesome. If you happen to go at the same time as someone on this thread and they have ressies say at "California Grill", then meet up and enjoy eating at a place you want with someone who also wants to eat there. If not, just go it alone and do what you want to do. Disney now has free wifi in most locations. Throw a Kindle in your backpack and have a ball. . .

Thanks for the input. After giving it more consideration, I think that a solo trip is what my weight loss reward should be! There will be other times for family trips but if I do the work to lose the weight, I deserve to reward myself. Now, I just need to get those pounds off!

i may be wrong - but aren't there always some type of main stream type choices on many of the table service establishments? you can download the menus and decide on some compromises. definitely go to his fave restaurants but also pick a couple that you would like - there's gotta be some that will have food he can tolerate.
it may not be perfect - you may get your way less than 50% of the time but for me, if it's 40-60 ratio, that's a lot better than if it were 10-90 favouring his way.
are you able to plan a week where there are at least 2 days that's more relaxed?
my husband and i are both adventurous with food. but he's much more relaxed while i'm more the early-bird gets the worm type of person. so i've planned a week where we have a couple of days just to relax. and in between some of the more busier days, there are a couple of hours carved out as down-time.
i've showned him my ideas and he seems to be very happy about it.
whichever way you decide, good luck!

Try Solo
I just went on my first solo trip last month. I was nervous about it, but it went well. I got to do the things my family usually doesn't care about.
I got to sit on the street curb and watch a parade, eat a dole whip for lunch, watch the glass blower in the back of the crystal shop on Main Street USA (didn't even know it was back there since I am always rushed through the shops!), ride the carousel, walk through the tiger trail in AK, go to Innoventions, watch the whole show by Off Kilter, get a glass of champagne in France, and sleep in! It was fun, and I did many more "slower" things that we usually skip over. Shopping time was never hurried, and I skipped a lot of the big rides we usually go on so that I could go to a few shows. I realized I hadn't driven the cars at Tomorrow Land in over 10 years. The only time I wished I wasn't alone was during meals, but I ate mostly counter service and it wasn't too bad.
I have another solo trip planned next fall. So I say try it, you'll like it!

Go for it. I was a little scare going solo at first, but I had a great time. I did 3 days soloing at WDW. I had dinner at Blue Zoo and Raglan Road at the bar and had a great time. Had lunch at Les Chefs de France and dinner at Tuto Italia. It was a terrific. Never felt awkward at all.
After WDW I went on 7 day solo cruise on the Fantasy. Wow. Never felt alone at all. Even though I was at a 4 top table all by myself at the MDRs never felt alone. I got treated royally by all the servers.
At Palo's and Remy I had dinner and brunch by myself twice at each and never felt awkward at all. I was treated even better from what I saw with the interaction with other guest.
I could eat several times at these restaurant because it was just me.
Throughout the cruise I never felt lonely. The cast members and the people on the cruise always made feel that I was not alone.
You can come and go as you please I was always doing things.
I learned a lot about myself on this trip.

.- The Roman Catholic religion has played an important role in Quebec history and its imagery should remain in public institutions, said the mayor of Quebec's sixth largest city at the reasonable accommodations hearings last week.
According to a report by The Canadian Press, Mayor Jean Tremblay told the hearings commission on Thursday that Catholicism still holds an important place for many. He pointed out that the majority of Quebecers refer to themselves as Catholic.
"The Catholic religion is one of the nicest values we have in Quebec," said Tremblay, who is among a handful of mayors in the province who still open town council meetings with prayer.
"When someone who represents three per cent of the population wants to do something, everyone bends," he was quoted as saying. "But when the mayor wants to say his prayer, we tell him to respect secular principles."
He also criticized what he characterized as a lack of moral leadership among Quebec politicians.
"Things haven't been going well since we've lost our fundamental values," Tremblay reportedly said. "People aren't as happy."
The hearings will be held throughout Quebec until the end of November. Premier Jean Charest called the hearings last winter after a lengthy and bitter public debate about the integration of immigrants into Canada's French-speaking province.

Fruit Sweetened Vegan Banana Bread - What do to with all those bananas in your freezer
"See those bananas over there?", I asked, tilting my head towards the end of the aisle at the health food store. "I'll buy fifteen of 'em for half price", I suggested confidently. The cashier paused for a moment, not knowing whether to believe me. Why would anyone want to buy bananas that were almost more suitable for the compost bin than the kitchen for any price? "Sure", he sighed. He knew they were garbage unless I took them in. I laughed to myself when I realized how excited I was to buy bananas that most people wouldn't even think of eating. I started to feel bad about not liberating the others but I had to get home; there was work to do! How cool would it be to peel the bananas, purée them and slow cook them into a thick syrup to use as a base for fruit sweetened banana bread?

Help ‹ More Collectibles?
Colnect's catalogs are built by member collectors . If you are unable to find some of your collectibles on Colnect, you may help yourself and the other members by updating Colnect. You do not have to have the complete information but what you submit should be accurate. Later, other members may help by adding a missing picture or piece of information.
How can I contribute?
The detailed instructions are found here: Catalog Contribution Guidelines.
Thanks in advance for your help.
What about different kinds of collectibles?
Colnect currently fully supports Banknotes, Bottle Caps, Stamps, Coins and Phonecards. However, the platform is suitable for all mass-produced collectibles.
If you wish to start a new collectibles section, please Contact Us.
We will need your help to decide how the new category should be presented in Colnect. It may not be very easy to create a new category but not as hard as it may first seem. Please answer the following questions regarding the new category:
- Are there any catalogs for that category? Please mention as many catalogs as you know. Add links if they are on-line or send a few page scans if not.
- Which data fields are relevant to each collectible item in the category? Take a look at some single item page of current categories. Now think how the single item page of the new category should look like.
- How will collectors navigate the new category? On our phone cards section navigation may start with country, then company, then series and then a list. On our stamps section we usually start with country, then series and then a list. These options for navigation can be extended. Please clearly state your vision of how navigation would be best for collectors.
Once you are comfortable with the data fields you have selected you are ready to create a new NIF for the new category. Take one of the existing NIFs (of a category with similar navigation and fields) and change the names of the columns to what you think is best. Enter sample information of a few items and send the new NIF for inspection.
When your new NIF format is approved, work can begin. You can also ask other collectors to help by filling information in NIFs. When the new category contains enough useful information to interest collectors, it will become public. You can choose to become the database coordinator for the new category and manage updates from other collectors.

India's Reliance Cap eyes Gen Insurance stake sale in 6 months
Indian financial services firm Reliance Capital is in talks with potential partners to sell up to 26 percent in its general insurance business though a deal may be at least six months away, its chief executive told reporters late on Sunday.
December 12, 2011 1:18 by Reuters
"We're in talks with a couple of players, it may take us at least six months," he said.
Reliance Capital, controlled by billionaire Anil Ambani, manages assets of over $19 billion across mutual funds, pension funds, managed accounts and hedge funds.
Its other businesses include insurance, broking, consumer and commercial finance.
Ghosh said that the company was aiming to close a deal to sell a 26-percent stake in its asset management business to Japan's Nippon Life Insurance by March 31 next year.
"We're in the process of due diligence for 26 percent, and fingers crossed, we will close by the end of Indian financial year on March 31," he said.
"We will manage some of Nippon Life's money in India, and in Japan they will help promote our products," he said.
Nippon Life has already acquired a 26-percent stake in Reliance Life Insurance for $680 million, valuing the business at $2.6 billion.
Ghosh said that Reliance targeted a near-doubling of its assets under management and advisory business in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region to $1 billion in the next two years.
Its assets under management in the region are $80 million, up from $40 million a year ago, and its advisory mandates currently amount to about $500 million, its business head for the region RM Sriram said.
A key part of the company's business based in Dubai is to advise medium-to-large Indian companies approaching international markets or seeking international partners.
Reliance plans to pursue a banking licence in India, and Ghosh said that though the government's draft guidelines stipulated an investment of 5 billion rupees, he felt that Reliance would have to plough in 15 billion rupees over a two-year period to build a pan-Indian bank.
He said Reliance was open to acquisitions in the banking space.
"The guidelines don't talk about acquiring, but we may have to explore it if we're allowed to," he said, adding that Reliance also wanted a strategic investor for the bank but the guidelines stipulated a 5-percent stake limit for a partner. (Reporting by Sitaraman Shankar, Editing by David French)

We stayed at Atlantic House over Bike weekend just a few weeks ago. The owners were very friendly and made us feel right at home. I was at first a little concerned that we had one of two of the bedrooms (all others have a bathroom) that shared a bath in the hallway, but I was pleasantly surprised. The bathroom and shower were separate rooms so you could use the bathroom if someone was in the shower, which was great. The bathrooms were immaculately clean and I was completely comfortable with the set up. Our bedroom was quaint and clean. It was all that we needed for the weekend In addition, it was right across the street from the boardwalk and beach so very convenient to activities. If we attend bike weekend next year, I hope we can book at the Atlantic House. Accommodations were great and we also enjoyed the company of the other guests.

My husband and I booked a two-night stay at Atlantic House for our romantic September getaway to Ocean City. We had a wonderful time! Brian and Josephine were very kind and exceedingly helpful, carrying bags, recommending restaurants, making phone calls, always taking the time to meet our needs. If I accidentally messed anything up, they were always reassuring and very gracious about it. The B&B is lovely, the bed comfortable, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Breakfasts were delicious. All in all, a great experience which we hope to repeat in the future.
4.0 on September 07, 2014
Brian and Josephine were very attentive and friendly. The breakfast was WAY above standard of any place I've ever visited. The food was made from scratch, not of packaged-food variety. The owners also provided snacks throughout the day. The room was basic but quaint. I mean, the purpose of a bed and breakfast is to have a place to lay your head down, freshen up, and feed your belly before you venture out for the day. The location is very convenient to the beach and bay; very short walking distance to the boardwalk and inlet. I would definitely stay there again.
4.6 on September 03, 2014
Recently, my 5 children and I spent 5 days and 4 nights at the Atlantic House B&B in the roomy 2 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen where we were able to store and prepare our own food, including a washer and dryer (both important options for a single mom of 5 children of various ages). This was our first visit to Ocean City Maryland. We found this lovely home away from home through a google search of ocean front B&B's. If we ever need lodging in the Ocean City Maryland area, we will certainly return again. The house is conveniently located just 1/2 block from the boardwalk and walking distance from the bay. Upon arrival, Josephine greeted us with information packets and literature about various free family events in the area which kept us totally occupied when we were not shopping and biking on the boardwalk or playing on the FREE beaches (outdoor shower available upon our return). The owners were very helpful and available when we needed them. The apartment was affordable, neat, tastefully furnished and private as well as conveniently located with off street parking for 2 cars included! This was a fabulous affordable getaway. The children and I sampled many local eateries, utilized the boardwalk amusement park and museum and visited Assateague National Shore Park (8 miles from the Inn) where we actually saw wild horses! Breakfast was not included in our apartment stay, but Brian was generous enough to offer. (who could say no to local fresh fruit) Our stay was pleasant to say the least. Highly recommend Atlantic House B&B

All are good, But need bit clean up outside, need fix the step between room and bathroom, my wife got hit and almost fell but hurt her toe... Breakfast is FRESH! and champ!... Owner is excellent friendly and friendly with deaf people as we are.... would go there again.

Josephine and Brian were excellent hosts. Brian was right on with all the recommendations for dinner. The breakfast and snacks were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone. As a first timer B&B this was a wonderful experience. As a matter of fact we will definitely be coming back again.

Great Stay Great Location - Brian and Josephine were awesome.
4.6 on August 26, 2014
We spent an evening at Atlantic House as a break in our drive from the Outer Banks back home to New Jersey.We were delighted by our choice. The Atlantic House is lovingly maintained and within walking distance to the boardwalk. The innkeepers could not have been more hospitable or done more to ensure that we had a good stay. We certainly would recommend the Atlantic House to anyone considering a stay in Ocean City.
4.2 on August 25, 2014
Owners were very friendly. Breakfast was ok. Room was cozy for two. Only complaint would be the toilet as sometimes it got stuck running. And due to it being on the main road, noise level was high. But earplugs did the trick. It was a nice place, and would stay again.

Dance by takeSomeCrime, via David John at You have been here sometime. Question: Is the relationship between the decor and the moves inversely proportional – the sketchier the room, the better the moves are? Or is the room just irrelevant? Is this decor Canadian, or is the Canadian location just incidental? Are these questions rhetorical if nobody answers them?

From Godard's 1964 film Bande à part, or Band of Outsiders. Not design except in the larger sense, but it's in the favourites category thanks to my friends Maxwell and Hadley who made about thirty of us learn this sequence for an art event a couple of years ago. We were calling it The Madison but apparently it's not a faithful rendition of that dance. It's better.

Osteopathic Medical Profession Supports Education About Potential Dangers Of Energy Drinks
CHICAGO, July 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While energy drinks are a popular beverage choice, particularly among young adults, many people might not be aware of the potential health issues their favorite drink could cause. The American Osteopathic Association's House of Delegates voted today to support community awareness and education regarding the potential effects of consuming energy drinks.
Most popular energy drinks contain elevated amounts of caffeine, which, when consumed in large quantities, can produce detrimental health effects, including dehydration, anxiety and digestive problems. Another potential danger is mixing alcohol with energy drinks. This combination can lead to a greater risk of abuse since the stimulants in energy drinks make people feel more alert, masking the effects of consuming alcohol by making the effects of alcohol seem less apparent.
"While having one energy drink is probably fine, consuming several energy drinks over a short period of time could lead to health issues since most energy drinks have more caffeine than a serving of coffee or soda," says William J. Burke, DO, an AOA board-certified family physician. "That is why moderation is so important no matter what food or drink you consume."
The policy also encourages physicians to increase screening for energy drink consumption by talking to their patients about energy drinks during examinations.About the House of DelegatesThe AOA's House of Delegates, comprised of more than 500 delegates representing osteopathic state medical associations, specialty societies, interns, residents and students from throughout the country, meets annually in July to set organizational policies and elect new officers. About the American Osteopathic AssociationThe American Osteopathic Association (AOA) proudly represents its professional family of more than 104,000 osteopathic physicians (DOs) and osteopathic medical students; promotes public health; encourages scientific research; serves as the primary certifying body for DOs; is the accrediting agency for osteopathic medical schools; and has federal authority to accredit hospitals and other health care facilities. More information on DOs/osteopathic medicine can be found at www.osteopathic.org. SOURCE American Osteopathic Association

Reinventing a theism-free culture will require rethinking ritual. Here's a start from Scientific American. My impression is that rituals help us cope mentally and emotionally when we're under pressure. Of course they don't actually change anything in the environment.
Recent research suggests that rituals may be more rational than they appear. Why? Because even simple rituals can be extremely effective. Rituals performed after experiencing losses – from loved ones to lotteries – do alleviate grief, and rituals performed before high-pressure tasks – like singing in public – do in fact reduce anxiety and increase people's confidence. What's more, rituals appear to benefit even people who claim not to believe that rituals work. While anthropologists have documented rituals across cultures, this earlier research has been primarily observational. Recently, a series of investigations by psychologists have revealed intriguing new results demonstrating that rituals can have a causal impact on people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Recently, a series of investigations by psychologists have revealed intriguing new results demonstrating that rituals can have a causal impact on people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
In one recent experiment, people received either a "lucky golf ball" or an ordinary golf ball, and then performed a golf task; in another, people performed a motor dexterity task and were either asked to simply start the game or heard the researcher say "I'll cross fingers for you" before starting the game. The superstitious rituals enhanced people's confidence in their abilities, motivated greater effort – and improved subsequent performance. These findings are consistent with research in sport psychology demonstrating the performance benefits of pre-performance routines, from improving attention and execution to increasing emotional stability and confidence.
People perform mourning rituals in an effort to alleviate their grief – but do they work? Our research suggests they do. In one of our experiments, we asked people to recall and write about the death of a loved one or the end of a close relationship. Some also wrote about a ritual they performed after experiencing the loss:
I used to play the song by Natalie Cole "I miss you like crazy" and cry every time I heard it and thought of my mom.
I looked for all the pictures we took together during the time we dated. I then destroyed them into small pieces (even the ones I really liked!), and then burnt them in the park where we first kissed.
We found that people who wrote about engaging in a ritual reported feeling less grief than did those who only wrote about the loss.
While more research is needed, these intriguing results suggest that the specific nature of rituals may be crucial in understanding when they work – and when they do not.
Despite the absence of a direct causal connection between the ritual and the desired outcome, performing rituals with the intention of producing a certain result appears to be sufficient for that result to come true. While some rituals are unlikely to be effective – knocking on wood will not bring rain – many everyday rituals make a lot of sense and are surprisingly effective. [emphasis mine]
