3 Generations Wonderful Cruise April 11-15!!! Updated 8/19!!
Hello Everyone!!! I just got back from a WONDERful Cruise with my mom and daughter! Everything was AMAZING! I plan on starting my TR ASAP and I will give you heads up, I took over 1,300 pictures!
Let me start by introducing the cast! My mom, Carol. Has not sailed on DCL since sailing the Magic about 11 years ago. She was not impressed the first time we sailed and hasn't been back. She is however an avid cruiser, and cruises at least 4-5 times a year (mainly Princess). I was bound and determined to get her to convert to DCL!!!! My DD2 (3 in June) Addison. This is her 3rd cruise, 2nd with DCL! She is my secret weapon to get my mom to fall in love with DCL! She loves the princesses, and refers to my mom as Daisy and herself as Minnie. Myself: Stacey. I'm a teacher and a Disney lover. I met my husband, Ryan while working in Tomorrowland and we got married at the Shades of Green this past August. This was my fourth Disney Cruise and have taken several other cruises on different lines, but lately, my heart belongs to DCL! Next up: I better get a boarding card #2, or else....

Signing on to find out if your Mom liked DCL convert or not. My MIL is a Princess fan and I don't think she cared for DCL. My DW went with her on a Princess cruise last year and was not a convert as she felt like she brought the average age down about 20 years. To each their own.

Sunday April 11, 2010- Day 1 Part 1
We woke up bright and early ready to start our four days of much needed vacation!! It was cloudy and gloomy outside, but we werent going to let that bring us down! We planned on leaving at 8:15 and Addison and I were ready on time. However, my mom took a little longer than anticipated. We werent in the car and leaving until: No, dont worry, its not 10:55, but it is 8:39! 24 minutes late! Well, there goes my #2 boarding card! Addison was so excited on the way. I could tell she wanted to sleep, but couldnt. She took some pictures on the way, most of which looked like this: After our normal game of Who can spot the most DCL buses we finally made it to the port!! Now we were really excited! My dad dropped us off and planned on spending the day in the area to wave us off. I felt kind of bad for him because we would be having fun and he would just be waiting to watch us go by for all of 2 minutes!? Anyway, its a tradition and favorite past time of our family! We make our way through security and up the escalator where I get handed my boarding card. My mom all excited asks what we got and with a roll of the eyes I say FOUR! Thanks mom I honestly dont care to be honest with you, but my mom felt really bad. After we checked in, she asked if there was anyway he could find a boarding card 2 for me because she felt bad that she made me late that morning. I told her it was fine, and I think the guy found it very amusing that I gave my mom a hard time over a difference of 2 numbers! He took our boarding card, crossed off the 4 and signed it for us! I thought that was very nice of him!! After we checked in, we walked around and made our way out to the balcony to take a few pictures. We came back inside and got a snack from the snack bar for Addison along with a new autograph book for her. I had a feeling Mickey would be coming out soon and I noticed a photographer standing there waiting. I went and asked him and he said he should have been out five minutes but the Coast Guard came in for a drill that even Mickey has to attend. Well, just then, guess who came marching out!? Yup, Mickey, and we were first in line to meet the Captain himself! (Addison still thinks he drives the boat!) It wasnt long after meeting Mickey that they started boarding. Before I knew it we were stepping on the Mickey Boat and being introduced. This is one of my favorite parts, and secretly, I think my enjoyed it to! I mean how can you not love that special, overwhelming feeling! We headed to Parrot Cay for lunch and my mom enjoyed her peel and eat shrimp. She was very impressed with the dessert choices. In fact, she called my aunt, who is a travel agent and cruise lover, and commented on how delicious the desserts were and how many choices they had! Score! Im on my way to getting her hooked!!! Mickey even joined us for lunch After eating lunch we went to request our dining time be changed to the early seating. We were taking a gamble on this one. We never use the early seating on cruises, but we had a feeling for this one it would be better for us. We were second in line and were put on the waiting list. The gentleman said he would call between 4:00 and 5:00 to let us know if they could change it for us. We still had 25 minutes until the rooms would open so we went upstairs to look at the Mickey Pool. As soon as Addison saw the splash area, she started taking her clothes off, right there in front of everyone! She was ready! Luckily, I packed her bathing suit. We let her play in the splash area for 20 minutes or so. Just after 1:30 we decided to head to our stateroom to check it out and give Addison a nap. One of our suitcases was there already so we went ahead and unpacked it. My mom decided to join Addison in a nap and let me go off and explore the ship, but not before I decorated our door! I would like to take this moment to thank all of the Creative DISigners who are kind enough to make the designs for us! I really appreciate all of you guys! Addison and my mom really enjoyed our magnets on this cruise and I had tons of compliments! Up Next: Will we get our dining time changed!? |

Day 1 Part 2:
While Addison and my mom napped, I walked around the ship and took some pictures. Oh, and I almost lost my cell phone over board! I dropped it and it went sliding across under the railing. Close call After walking around for a while I went back to the room to start waking up the ladies for the life boat drill. As soon as the lifeboat drill was over, I took our jackets back to the room while my mom and Addison headed upstairs to stake out our spot for the Sail Away Party! Here is Addison waiting for the party to start People slowly started to join us The party finally started: Pluto is doing a cartwheel in the background I love the excitement you feel when we are counting down and hear the horn at the end! It is so magical, and I had a tear in my eye. I think my mom shed a tear or two also (or is it because she is stuck on a Disney cruise for 4 nights!?) |

Day 1 Part 3
After partying up on Deck 10, we made our way down to Deck 4 to look out for my dad! I love coming on this deck while we are sailing out, its so peaceful. We grabbed some potato chips on our way down and Addison was introduced to a new addiction. All of a sudden, my fruit eating daughter turned in to a chip-aholic! My dad is over there, in front of a red car in a dark outfit A Costa ship was in port for the day (closer to Jetty Park) Some birds flying around My mom and Addison relaxed in the sun loungers And we slowly headed out to sea We realized we should go back to the room and see if our dining time got changed. We got to the room around 5:30 and had no messages, so we started getting ready for the show. Around 5:45 I noticed the message light had started flashing so I listened to the messages and there was a message from the head waiter Karina (loved her!) that she left at 4:40. She told us our dining time had changed and to meet her at Animators Palate at 5:45. Its 5:45 NOW! We hurry up to finish getting ready and run upstairs two decks to meet her. Im so glad they were able to change our dining time as it really worked well for us on this cruise! We sat with a nice family from Tampa. They had a 3 year old daughter named Madison, she was a cutie! At diner I had a nice surprise! We just happened to get the same server I had on my cruise in July! What a coincidence! Here is my shout out to Herbert! He is great and he makes sure you are happy!! After dinner we slowly made our way to the Golden Mickeys! I LOVE THIS SHOW! I think it is a great show! Here are some pictures (No flash of course!) So, what did my mom think of the show!? She loved it! Another plus for DCL and another step closer to converting! After the show we went upstairs and got some hot chocolate and sat at a table enjoying our vacation. We went back to our room to find this guy Addison laid in bed (eating chips, a special treat) and watched some Donald cartoons while I read the Navigator for the following day. We eventually turned off the lights and all fell asleep dreaming about what might come our way the next day! Up Next: Nassau get off or lay around the pool? Hmm, the Tag Fairy might have that answer! |

Fantastic report so far! I love all the pictures! I really enjoyed your pic of the Freedom of the Seas at the beginning. I found our cabin, can see the people watching the Flowrider (is what we did when we first boarded) and found the "laying out" spot I loved so much.
Keep posting the pictures!

Wow, that's a lot of great pics from your first day. Enjoyed the port shots and got a good idea just how many people attend the sail away party. (yeah, I figured it was really popular, but it's another thing to see the crowds on both decks.). Good stuff!

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 On my keeping I shall stand, and shall pitch a degree on [the] warding; and I shall behold, that I see what thing shall be said to me, and what I shall answer to him that reproveth me. (I shall stand watch at my station, and shall climb the stairs of the watch tower; and I shall see, what shall be said to me, and what I shall answer to him who rebuketh me.) | 1 I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint. |
2 And the Lord answered to me, and said, Write thou the sight, either revelation, and make it plain on tables, that he (may) run, that shall read it. (And the Lord said to me, Write thou what thou seest, and make it clear on a tablet, ready for a courier to carry it with haste/so that it can easily be read.) | 2 Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. |
3 For yet the vision is far, and it shall appear into the end, and shall not lie; if it shall make dwelling, abide thou it, for it coming shall come, and shall not tarry. (For yet the vision is far off, but it shall appear in the end, and it shall not lie; and even if it appeareth to be delayed, wait thou for it, for it is coming, and indeed shall come, and shall not be late.) | 3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. |
4 Lo! the soul of him, that is unbelieveful, shall not be rightful in himself; forsooth the just man shall live in his faith. (Lo! the soul of him, who is unbelieving, shall not be right within himself; but the just, or the righteous, shall live by faith.) | 4 "See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright-- but the righteous will live by his faith-- |
5 And as wine deceiveth a man drinking, so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be made fair; for as hell he alarged his soul, and he is as death, and he is not [ful]filled; and he shall gather to him all folks, and he shall gather together to him all peoples. (And like wine deceiveth someone who is drinking, so shall be the proud person, and he shall never be content, or at peace; for he enlarged his soul, or his mouth, as wide as Sheol, or the land of the dead, but he, like death itself, shall never be satisfied, or fulfilled; even though he shall gather all the nations unto himself, yea, though he shall gather together all the peoples unto himself.) | 5 indeed, wine betrays him; he is arrogant and never at rest. Because he is as greedy as the grave and like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples. |
6 Whether not all these peoples shall take a parable on him, and the speaking of dark sentences of him? And it shall be said, Woe to him that multiplieth things not his own; how long, and he aggregateth against himself thick clay? (Shall not all these peoples turn him into a parable, or an example, and speak dark sentences about him? And so it shall be said, Woe to you who multiplieth riches not your own! how long shall you gather unto yourself things taken in pledge?) | 6 "Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying, " 'Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?' |
7 Whether not suddenly they shall rise together, that shall bite thee? And they shall be raised tearing thee, and thou shalt be into raven to them; and thine ambushers in evil shall wake. (Shall they not suddenly rise up, and bite thee? Yea, they shall be raised up, and shall tear thee apart, and thou shalt become prey, or spoils, to them; and thy ambushers in evil shall watch for thy fall.) | 7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim. |
8 For thou robbedest many folks, all shall rob thee, which shall be residue, either left, of peoples, for blood of man, and for wickedness of land, of the city, and of all men dwelling in it. (For thou hast robbed many nations, all who shall be the residue, or those left, of the peoples, shall rob thee, for the bloodshed, or the murder, of the people, and for the wickedness done in the land, to the city, and to all the people who live there.) | 8 Because you have plundered many nations, the peoples who are left will plunder you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. |
9 Woe to him that gathereth evil covetousness to his house, that his nest be on high, and guesseth him for to be delivered (out) of the hand of evil. (Woe to you who gathereth evil gain, or filthy lucre, unto your house, so that your nest would be on high, and thinketh yourself to be delivered, or saved, from the hand of evil.) | 9 "Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin! |
10 Thou thoughtest confusion to thine house; thou hast slain many peoples, and thy soul sinned. (Thou hast brought shame to thy house; thou hast killed many people, yea, thy soul hath sinned.) | 10 You have plotted the ruin of many peoples, shaming your own house and forfeiting your life. |
11 For the stone of the wall shall cry, and a tree that is betwixt jointures of buildings shall answer. (And so the stones in the walls shall cry out, and a beam of the timbers that is between the joinings of the building shall answer them.) | 11 The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it. |
12 Woe to him that buildeth a city in bloods, and maketh ready a city in wickedness. (Woe to you who buildeth a city with bloodshed, or with murder, and who maketh ready a city with wickedness.) | 12 "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime! |
13 Whether not these things be of the Lord of hosts? For peoples shall travail in much fire, and folks in vain, and they shall fail. (Be not all these things from the Lord of hosts? For peoples and nations shall labour, or shall struggle, amid much fire, or much adversity, and all for nothing, for they all shall fail.) | 13 Has not the LORD Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? |
14 For the earth shall be filled, that it know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering the sea. (For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, like the waters covering, or filling, the sea.) | 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. |
15 Woe to him that giveth drink to his friend, and sendeth his gall, and maketh drunken, that he behold his nakedness. (Woe to you who sendeth your gall, or your anger, onto your friend, as if giving him drink, and maketh him drunk, so that you can behold his shame, or his nakedness.) | 15 "Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies. |
16 He is filled with evil fame for glory; and thou drink, and be aslept; the cup of the right half of the Lord shall compass thee, and casting up, either spewing, of evil fame (shall be) [up]on thy glory. (Thou shalt be filled with shame and not with glory; yea, thou shalt drink, and then be asleep; the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall be given to thee, and then thy shame shall exceed thy glory.) | 16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and be exposed ! The cup from the LORD's right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. |
17 For the wickedness of Lebanon shall cover thee, and [the] destruction of beasts shall make them afeared, of bloods of man, and of wickedness of [the] land, and of the city, and of all men dwelling therein. (For the wickedness done to Lebanon shall now be done to thee, and the destruction of its beasts shall now make thee afraid, because of the bloodshed, or the murder, of the people, and the wickedness done in the land, to the city, and to all the people who live there.) | 17 The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and your destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. |
18 What profiteth the graven image, for his maker graved it, a welled thing together, and [a] false image? for the maker thereof hoped in [the] making, that he made dumb simulacra. (What is the profit, or the benefit, of an engraved figure? for its maker engraved it, a thing welded together, yet it is but a false, or a empty, and useless, image; even though its maker hoped in the making of it, he hath made only dumb idols.) | 18 "Of what value is an idol, since a man has carved it? Or an image that teaches lies? For he who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak. |
19 Woe to him that saith to a tree, Wake thou; (and,) Rise thou, to a stone being still; whether he shall be able to teach? Lo! this (thing) is covered with gold and silver, and no spirit is in his entrails. (Woe to you who saith to a piece of wood, Wake up thou! and, Rise thou! to a stone being still; shall it be able to teach you anything? Lo! this thing is covered with gold and silver, but there is no breath in its innards.) | 19 Woe to him who says to wood, 'Come to life!' Or to lifeless stone, 'Wake up!' Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it. |
20 Forsooth the Lord is in his holy temple, all earth be still from his face. (But the Lord is in his holy Temple, let all the earth be silent before him.) | 20 But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him." |

Tom Douglas
Thomas Douglas is a research assistant at the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at Oxford University.
His research interests lie in normative and applied ethics (especially neuroethics) and political philosophy.
He is currently focussing on the ethics of human enhancement and some related questions about moral motivation, compensation for natural misfortune, and policymaking under conditions of uncertainty.
He is also working on organ procurement policy. He has recently been awarded a Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship in Biomedical Ethics which he will take up in the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics and the Faculty of Philosophy from October 2009.
Tom will investigate philosophical issues raised by dual-use biomedical research (research that may be used in both benevolent and malevolent ways), focusing in particular on synthetic biology and the neuroscience of morality.
He will consider, among other questions, (1) what likely uses of research in these areas would qualify as malevolent/benevolent, and (2) how (if at all) scientists and policymakers should weigh possible malevolent and benevolent uses of research against one another in deciding whether to engage in or promote dual-use biomedical research.

Chris Brown - Chris Brown 'Really Sorry' For Drake Brawl?
Chris Brown is ''really sorry'' for the fight which took place with Drake's entourage at a New York nightclub earlier this month, but insists he did not start the brawl.
Chris Brown feels ''really sorry'' for the people who were injured in his fight with Drake.
The 23-year-old singer was involved in a brawl with Drake at a nightclub in New York on June 14 and while he wishes to pass on his regret about the incident - in which sports star Tony Parker sustained an injury to his eye - he claims he did not start it.
A source said: ''Chris is really sorry and feels bad for the people who were injured at the club when all that s**t went down and wishes he could apologise to everyone that was injured there, even homeboy Tony Parker.
''He's upset and feels bad for everyone but at the end of the day people need to remember that he was injured too and beyond that, he didn't even instigate or start any of the bulls**t.''
Drake is believed to have started the fight when his entourage sent a note to Chris about his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
The source added to HollywoodLife.com: ''You see what happens when you let some ignorant asses in a club with new money. Some bulls**t always pops off and regular people, innocent people, who had nothing to do with anything, who just came to the club for a good time, end up getting hurt. So damn sad.''
As a result of the crawl, both Chris and Drake have been offered $1 million to continue their feud in a boxing ring.
Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman claims billionaire Alki David wants to see the pair Settle the differences in a public fight.

Excerpt from report in English by independent German Spiegel Online
website on 21 October
["The Birth of New Libya Will Not Be Painless"]
With dictator Moammar Gadhafi [Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi] officially dead, the
Libyan chapter of the Arab Spring is nearly complete. Although the
circumstances of his death remain murky, the focus will now shift to
building a democratic state. German commentators on Friday [21 October]
say that tribal loyalties could complicate the process. [passage
German commentators on Friday take a closer look at what Gadhafi's death
means for the future of Libya.
The left-leaning Berliner Zeitung writes:
"The end of the Gadhafi era is a reason to celebrate in the region - for
most, at least. For some, though, like (Syria's) Bashar Asad and
(Yemen's) Abdullah Saleh and other old-school Arab leaders still in
power, Thursday marked a black day. It made clear that the end is near
for them.
"Of course, regrets will also be expressed. Many wanted to bring him to
trial, either at the International Criminal Court or before a Libyan
court. They would also have liked to see those who helped him throughout
the years in court too. That included both his Libyan supporters, but
also those in Europe and the United States. The relationships in recent
years had become increasingly intimate and the criticism of his ruling
style ever quieter. Certainly some interesting things about European
politics would have come to light. It is too bad this can't happen, but
there is also a positive side: An imprisoned Gadhafi would certainly not
have missed a single opportunity to create further unrest and
The business daily Handelsblatt writes:
"Like Iraq's despot Saddam Hussein, Gadhafi hid away in his own country.
And like Saddam he was a victim of his own propaganda, his own
detachment from reality, the erroneous belief that the masses were still
standing behind him.
"As of Thursday, the war is over. Libya can briefly celebrate and take a
deep breath. The Libyans must then, however, start formulating the
future. Because after Gadhafi's death, there is a real danger of a split
in the National Transitional Council, a fight between regional interests
or even all-out tribal warfare. The common enemy Gadhafi has united the
rebels until now. But behind the scenes, fractures in the anti-Gadhafi
front have already been visible.
"But despite all the fears and dangers, it was only Gadhafi's final
defeat which could clear the way for building a new, democratic and free
Libya out of the rubble of Gadhafi's despotic republic.
"It must be hoped that the post-Gadhafi Libya does not repeat the
mistakes of Iraq following the fall of Saddam Hussein: If Gadhafi's
supporters - including his thugs and those who profited from his system
- are not integrated, there is the threat of lingering ethnic conflict,
civil war and terror. The only way to avoid that is a broad political
coalition and economic prosperity. Libya is rich in oil, and the country
must use this lubricant for wealth."
The conservative daily Die Welt writes:
"Almost instinctively one understands that the world is a better place
without the Saddam Husseins, Osama bin Ladens, and Moammar Gadhafis. And
still one wishes that Gadhafi, like Saddam, had been forced to answer in
court for his many crimes. Either in Libya itself or in front of the
International Court of Justice in the Hague.
"(After the Lockerbie bombing), the West turned on Gadhafi and isolated
him. That ended in the new millennium, when Gadhafi took responsibility
for Lockerbie and apologized to the victims, and because he came to an
agreement with the US and Great Britain to bring an end to his programme
for developing chemical and nuclear weapons. This agreement paved the
way for the normalization of Libya's relations with the rest for the
world, and for a disgusting competition among Western countries for
Libya's resources.
"Those who didn't have a role in any of this were the Libyans
themselves, who, after the revolutions in Tunis and Cairo, rose up. The
fact that, in the end, it was the West who helped bring down Gadhafi
seems somehow fitting for a life that was defined, above all, by a
hatred of the West. And it raises the question of whether or not it
would have been better for Libya and the rest of the world if the West
had taken on this dictator earlier and more decisively.
"Gadhafi's death brings to an end a dark chapter in Libyan history. Now
the path is open to building up a free and democratic country. It is a
chance for which the Libyans have fought hard, but could also easily
throw away."
The centre-left Sueddeutsche Zeitung writes:
"For Gadhafi, death - whether from a rebel bullet or NATO helicopter
fire on his convoy - was a more sensible end than capture. But not just
for him. The victors are likely relieved as well. What, after all, would
they have done with the fallen dictator? Vengeful justice would not have
been to the taste of their allies. But a fair trial in Libya is
inconceivable.... There is more historical justice in the fact that
Gadhafi, who took power by the force of arms 42 years ago, also died by
force of arms.
"With the events in Sirte comes the moment of truth for the provisional
government. The victory over Gadhafi doesn't solve the problems facing
the country. They are just beginning....
"With the end of the fighting and Gadhafi's defeat, the provisional
government can no longer delay in forming a proper government. It won't
be easy. Too many diverging forces want a slice of power - and a share
of Libya's wealth. There are traditionalists and liberals, democrats and
Islamists, businessmen and tribal chiefs. Success is anything but
guaranteed. And there is also a lot at stake for the country's Western
The conservative Frankfurter Allgemine writes:
"Gadhafi's death is the end of the Libyan chapter of the Arabellion. It
remains to be seen whether the end of the dictatorship will also be the
beginning of peace and tranquillity. Recently, battles between the
Transitional Council's troops and Gadhafi supporters have once again
flared up in Tripoli - and these probably aren't just isolated cases of
profiteers from the old system. It may well be that tribal loyalties are
playing a role - and the debate over who gets what share of power in a
Libya that has for centuries been divided into three distinct regions.
Even among the erstwhile rebels' political and military leadership ...
there is no small number of people who were loyal to Gadhafi over the
years. That is not a badge of democratic orientation and it doesn't bode
well for peace. The birth of new Libya will not be without pain."
The leftist Die Tageszeitung writes:
"Gadhafi's era is irreversibly finished. That is certain. But will
democracy prevail in Libya? We'll have to wait and see. Much suggests
that this question isn't very important to the NATO countries which
helped along the change in power. As long as it appeared to be opportune
for them, they accepted and armed both Gadhafi and Saddam Hussein as
allies. As soon as it no longer appeared opportune to them, they began
pointing out the - indisputably - disastrous human rights records of
both leaders. They could always count on one thing though: The public at
home would accept any change of course because, at the end of the day,
they weren't terribly interested in what was going on in far-away
"The idea that Libya has been 'liberated' because the West has
unflinchingly pushed for adherence to human rights is absolute nonsense.
"The (West) first took an interest in the hurdles facing democratization
in Egypt when they started to effect Christians in that country.
Earlier, politicians really didn't care that the country was still in a
state of crisis, that civilians were being tried in military courts and
that the military still has a hold on power. Furthermore, before the
so-called 'Arab Spring,' many had decided that Arabs, because of their
culture and mentality, weren't ready for democracy.
"It won't take long before Western politicians begin ... saying the same
thing about Libya if it suits them. Those trying to build a democracy
would be well advised not to rely on the West's solidarity. This applies
The Financial Times Deutschland writes:
"The transition from dictatorship to a free, democratic society has yet
to come. And the next phase of change will not be made any easier by the
fact that the common enemy - Gadhafi - is now gone. He held the various
rebel groups together.
"The success of the revolution depends on whether constitutional
measures to deal with Gadhafi loyalists succeed, whether rebels can be
disarmed in an orderly manner and whether Islamists can be integrated.
It is also crucial for society to succeed in channelling the desire for
vengeance and justice. Gadhafi brutalized Libyan society. He leaves
behind a country without civil society, without political parties,
without political life. Libya is starting from scratch."

It wasn't that long ago Brunswick County at times operated like the wild — and sometimes even wilder — West.
I can't count the times I've skimmed through yellowing pages of the Beacon dating back to the 1960s and '70s and, on my way to looking up something else, have come across stories about moonshine still busts in Brunswick County.
Yep, sheriff this and sheriff that — who sometimes wound up in trouble themselves later on — and his posse had just busted up another'n.
Temperatures in the teens literally plunged Brunswick County into the deep freeze last week.
As temperatures dipped into the teens overnight and into the early hours of Jan. 8, residents began to feel the effects.
Power outages were reported in Brunswick and New Hanover counties by Duke Progress Energy, attributed to a transformer failure at a substation at Eagle Island off Battleship Road.
The outages started about 3:30 a.m. last Thursday, Jan. 8, and continued until about 7:15 a.m.
An 83-year-old Brunswick County woman has died from complications of the flu.

These days, we're hearing a lot about the benefits of a gluten-free diet. Gluten is a protein that makes dough elastic, and it's found in many of the staple food items we consume every day. While many people without sensitivity to the substance are opting for these diets, those with gluten allergies have a more urgent reason to cut this substance out of their daily routines.
Gluten sensitivity differs from many food allergies, as it can have chronic, malignant effects on the intestines, muscles, and joints. Over 250 symptoms have been observed in patients with an observed sensitivity. Patients most commonly complain of bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. This condition has a genetic origin: there are several types of sensitivity, each traceable to the body's failure to handle these specific proteins properly.
It's important to distinguish gluten allergies from other similar conditions, such as celiac disease and wheat allergies. Celiac disease is, in fact, a specific kind of gluten sensitivity that is treated by cutting the protein from a patient's diet. However, the disease poses a host of risks to the immune system that an allergic condition does not. Wheat allergy is often confused with gluten intolerance, but it involves a reaction to a totally different set of substances.
How is gluten intolerance diagnosed? Well, the jury's still out on this. At present, researchers have not found any surefire biomarkers to indicate the disorder. Physicians will often ask patients to undergo a "gluten challenge," during which they are required to either regularly eat or cut out the substance for a specified time period. A diagnosis can then be made based on any symptoms patients experience. Those who seem prone to intolerance are advised to cut this protein from their diet, which means excluding foods that contain wheat, barley, rye, and cross-contaminated oats.
If you're experiencing some of the symptoms listed above, you should consider asking your doctor about getting tested for gluten allergies. The sooner you know, the sooner you'll be able to modify your habits for a healthier, happier lifestyle.
Thanksgiving is the time of year when cooks prepare magnificent feasts. Special dishes are often served that you just don't get the rest of the year. These yummy recipes are great, but you need to be careful if you have food allergies. The best way to enjoy a holiday meal is to identify allergies, make food substitutions, and communicate your needs to the cook.
Identify Foods
Make a list of foods that you cannot eat. This will refresh your memory, and you can give the list to the cook if you will be sharing a meal at a friend or relative's home.
Side Dishes
When you are doing the cooking, you can create side dishes that do not contain the ingredients that you can't eat. That is one of the simplest solutions, or you can make ingredient substitutions and still enjoy a nice meal.
Most people with food allergies can eat fresh slices of vegetables like carrots, celery, or cucumbers. If you are allergic to milk products, however, you need to check the ingredients in the homemade dips that often accompany these veggies or avoid them all together.
The Main Course
The best turkeys are those that are tender and juicy. However, if you have an allergy to wheat, you need to be careful when choosing the turkey. Turkeys that are exceptionally juicy are often injected with wheat that many people cannot tolerate. Check the label on the packaging to determine if it contains wheat. Another alternative is to buy gluten-free birds. Also keep in mind that gravy purchased from the store contains wheat. Making your own gravy is safer and probably tastier.
Just Ask
Many different cooks often prepare Holiday meals, so it may be hard to convey what you cannot eat ahead of time. If some dishes look questionable, just politely ask what the ingredients are. The cooks will certainly rather answer a few questions that have you suffer through an allergy attack.
Individuals with food allergies must take great care to be selective about what they eat during the holidays. Just because you have to be careful doesn't mean you can't have any fun. As long as you make sure to check the ingredients of each dish you try, you're sure to be able to taste your way through the season!
Dogs make wonderful pets and are found in many homes throughout the world. However, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are actually allergic to some dogs and experience itchy eyes, stuffy noses, wheezing, sneezing, and coughing when they are around them. Nevertheless, people with pet allergies still want the love and companionship provided by these animals. There are some ways to make this possible.
For starters, it's important to realize that you're not actually allergic to dogs – you're allergic to their dander. Dog hair is actually not the allergen, but it contains dog dander that people are often allergic to. Dander consists of old skin cells that are shed from a dog. Saliva and dog urine also contain dander. Choosing a dog that sheds less and produces less dander could make it possible for you to have this pet in your home. Read on for some of the best breeds for those with pet allergies.
Choosing a Breed
The Chinese Crested Hairless has just a little hair on the tail, feet and head. It is considered to be a popular breed for those people who have pet allergies because it has so little hair to carry dander.
The American Hairless Terrier was specifically bred to reduce allergy symptoms. People who react to many other types of breeds often do just fine with this terrier.
Miniature Poodles shed just a little hair and usually make good pets for anyone suffering from allergies.
The Bichon Frise has a double coat, which helps to lessen the amount of dander that is shed and reduce allergy symptoms for the pet owner.
These breeds are suggestions that seem to work well for those people with known pet allergies. However, it doesn't mean that all people can tolerate these breeds. You should spend a little time with the dog you are considering to see how you personally react. With the proper breed, pet ownership could be in the cards for even those with the worst allergies!
Traveling can create unique challenges for people with allergies. Hotels may have dust mites or even mold, and airplanes and trains seem to always contain an allergy trigger. Whether it's from spending time in new places or around new people, you're likely to be exposed to something that can irritate your allergy conditions. Try a few of the following tips on your next journey to make your allergies less of an issue.
Get medications refilled before your trip. In case of travel delays, it may be a good idea to carry an extra dose of medications. Medications should always be packed in a carry-on bag or purse for easy access. Never pack them in luggage that could be lost at the airport. It is also a good idea to keep all medications in original containers to get through airport security.
Additionally, people that have an allergy to food should put snacks in their carry-on so they can avoid disagreeable foods on airlines and trains.
Try to locate a hotel that offers allergy-friendly rooms. Some hotels are now totally smoke-free, which could be helpful. Avoid smoke-free rooms that are located one floor above the smokers' floor. The smoke can rise up to your floor and aggravate your allergies.
Many hotels advertise if they are pet friendly. Since animal dander can be tough to control or clean up, your allergies may act up if a dog or a cat has recently stayed in the room you are assigned. These hotels should be avoided when you have allergies to animal dander.
Car Travel
Pollution is generally at its lowest during the late evening and early morning hours. It is a good idea to use the recirculation setting when running your air conditioner in the car, so you do not pull in outside air. This minimizes your chances of being exposed to environmental elements that may trigger your allergies.
Although it is illegal on most domestic flights, some international flights may still permit smoking. If you have allergies, request a seat far from the smoking area.
Taking some of these things into consideration is a nice way to ensure that your travel will be as easy as possible. Never let your allergies get in the way of going on a trip and having an adventure again!
We are hearing talk of food allergies more often because there seems to be an increase in allergies found in children. What should you do if you think your child might have an allergy? Stay calm and consider these important points. Don't hesitate to contact a pediatric allergist if you see serious symptoms.
Self Diagnosing
If you are familiar with some of the symptoms of food allergies, you may think about trying to diagnose your child but this is usually a mistake. Common symptoms can include stomach pain, hives, sneezing, coughing, itching or diarrhea. Diagnosing a food allergy is difficult because many of the symptoms could be pointing to another problem and not necessarily a food allergy.
Changing a Diet
Parents assume that changing the child's diet is the best course of action when in reality it is another pitfall. Health professionals don't recommend changing a child's diet before you have seen a pediatric allergist. It is actually harder to get a proper diagnosis when foods are removed from a diet. Eliminating essential food groups from a child's diet can be unhealthy and they could become deficient in key nutrients needed for growth.
Keep a Log
Write down all the food your child eats for a couple of weeks and note any symptoms seen after eating. It is a good idea to note the time they ate in relation to the time a symptom may have appeared. A log with two weeks worth of documentation can help a specialist to rule out several foods and determine a better recommendation.
Professional Help
Since most parents do not have the training to properly determine what is wrong with their child, it is best to get professional help. Avoid practitioners who are not qualified to test for food allergies. If you see unusual symptoms, contact a pediatric allergist to get your child tested. Consult with a dietitian about food and nutrition if your allergist finds problems.
Parents and schools have come to realize the seriousness of treating severe allergic reactions quickly with allergy shots. Schools are taking the initiative to see that epinephrine auto-injectors are available and used to stop allergic reactions in children and staff.
Federal legislation for keeping epinephrine at schools was signed by President Obama in 2013. The Emergency Epinephrine Act provides strong incentives for states to legislate epinephrine and provide trained personnel to dispense the shots. All states except two already have legislation in place or having pending legislation ready to go. Rhode Island and New Hampshire have no legislation in place for stocking schools with epinephrine at this time.
Anaphylaxis is a dangerous allergic reaction, which can be life-threatening. Allergy shots containing epinephrine can stop allergic reactions in an instant. Most classrooms have an average of at least two children with known food allergies that may need immediate attention and require an injection of epinephrine.
Medications, foods, insect stings, latex and other triggers can cause anaphylaxis reactions. In most cases, 90 percent of food allergies are the result of eating soy, milk, tree nuts, shellfish, peanuts, fish or wheat. In some instances a child merely has to touch or inhale an allergen to have an allergic reaction.
Now that most states have epinephrine legislation in place, it will be up to the schools to keep epinephrine and find the money to make the purchases. In addition, the schools must provide training to teachers, nurses and administrative personnel for administering shots. Auto-injectors come loaded with medication that is dispensed with a small needle into the upper region of the thigh.
Parents who have children with known allergies are advised to have their children carry their own allergy shots. Young children can easily lose their epinephrine shots, so emergency epinephrine auto-injectors stored on the school's premise provides an excellent backup source.
Peanut allergies have frustrated researchers for a long time but they may have finally found a solution to the problem. Recently, researchers from the Oxford University found possibly conclusive evidence regarding the cause of peanut allergies. The results may surprise you.
People consume peanuts fried, boiled, raw or dry-roasted and they are found in a number of commercial products. Unfortunately, allergies to peanuts are quite common and symptoms can be severe. So, why do some people have food allergies to peanuts and some do not? Researchers now believe that the processing process is the key.
It has been known for a long time that Western countries have higher incidents of peanut allergies than people in East Asia. Genetic backgrounds may play a small part in whether people have allergies. However, researchers know that people in East Asia have a preference for fried, boiled or raw peanuts and Western people seem to prefer dry-roasted peanuts.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Oxford University conducted studies with mice to determine if the roasting process could possibly cause allergies. Mice received injections of dry-roasted nuts or raw nuts to see if they reacted differently.
Mice that received dry-roasted samples had strong immune system responses indicating a definite reaction to dry-roasted peanuts. The results of the study indicate that peanut roasting at high-temperatures to make dry-roasted nuts and peanut butter is more than likely causing allergies than raw peanuts.
In addition to studying peanut processing, researchers from the Cambridge University found that children exposed to small amounts of nuts over time might become desensitized to peanuts. These exciting breakthroughs could make a huge difference for people suffering from peanut allergies. The studies are still in the early stages of development, but researchers are making positive strides in determining the causes of peanut allergies.
For unknown reasons, allergies are on the rise in classrooms. One in 13 children is likely to develop allergies and need a pediatric allergist. As a parent, you need to know the symptoms of allergies and how to protect children from serious illness.
Allergy Symptoms
Symptoms from allergies can appear in just a few minutes or take several hours before they are noticed. Mild symptoms could include difficulty breathing, hives, itching or coughing. Dangerous symptoms may include wheezing, chest pain, trouble swallowing or losing consciousness.
Food Allergies
Children are often diagnosed by a pediatric allergist as being allergic to eggs, wheat and milk products when they are young. Surprisingly, many children grow out of these allergies as they mature. However, in some cases, children that are allergic to shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts or fish deal with allergy symptoms for life.
Other Allergies
When sending your child to school each fall, you may notice an increase in allergy like symptoms not associated with food. Schools have a unique environment filled with odors from new flooring, dust, animal dander, dust mites and chalk dust. A visit to school could reveal the source of allergy symptoms such as classroom pets or dirty chalk boards.
Teach Your Child About Food Allergies
Make sure your child knows exactly what foods they are allergic to, and you should explain why they should not eat them. Teach your child not to trade food with other kids. Make sure your child has access to epinephrine at school if required. Talk to them about the dangers of eating home-baked goods or foods with unknown ingredients. Teach your children to recognize allergy symptoms and where to go for help at school.
Working with the School
If your pediatric allergist has determined your child has an allergy, you need to advise the school of the situation. Talk to the nurse, cafeteria staff, administrators and teachers to explain the allergy and care needs. Provide an Emergency Care Plan with the school listing details and emergency contact information.
Breastfeeding has seen an increase in popularity in recent years, with advocates touting a number of benefits for both mother and baby. Two recent studies provide more information on the health-related benefits that many babies enjoy. Specifically, experts credit breast feeding with a lowered allergy risk and number of ear, throat, and sinus infections.
As a pediatric allergist, these findings are incredibly meaningful. Dealing with allergies as a young child and into adulthood can be a taxing responsibility, and knowing that perhaps we have some way of limiting the likelihood of that happening is reassuring for parents everywhere.
The first study presents data gathered from the medical office visits of an estimated 1,300 6-year-olds. The results showed that children who had been breastfed for nine or more months had significantly lower odds of getting an ear, throat, or sinus infection than children who had not. Doctors cited the fact that a mother's milk provides immunologic protection that can have a lasting impact later in life.
A second study provided some remarkable information about the potential for a greatly reduced allergy risk in children who were breastfed for a period of at least four months after their birth. Researchers found that these children, who had been exclusively breastfed, were approximately 50 percent less likely to develop allergies than those who had been breastfed for a shorter period of time. They warn that these numbers did not apply evenly to high-risk children whose families have an established history of food allergies. Low-risk populations were much more prone to seeing a dramatic improvement.
Today, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that women breastfeed exclusively for six months, then use other foods to supplement the baby's diet through at least the first birthday. With findings like these, which point to a much lower infection or allergy risk, it won't be surprising to see more and more new moms pursuing the idea of breastfeeding for their little ones when it is possible.
For those who suffer from asthma, treatment is more than important–in the most serious of cases, receiving quality care can be a matter of life and death. Those with the most advanced and complicated cases depend on medication on a daily basis just to stay alive. And while a complex, customized mix of inhalers and pills can often grant relief, it may take more than that to fight this disease.
Researchers and industry experts continue to work to provide new and better solutions for patients. As new products become available, allergists are creating more and more individualized plans that give their patients a better quality of life. They take factors like age, symptoms, severity of the disease, and any potential medication side effects into consideration. Furthermore, an asthma treatment plan may be altered year to year, or even more than once per year, as new medications and other options become available.
Inhalers are often the first option that's explored. Many combine a steroid with a bronchodilator. Pills known as leukotriene receptors reduce airway inflammation by blocking the chemical reaction that causes it. These pills use a different approach than inhalers in that they do not have steroids. Some patients use a combination of both treatments or of multiple inhalers to treat their symptoms.
Those with the most severe symptoms cannot get relief by using these prescription medications. For situations such as this, the newly FDA-approved procedure known as bronchial thermoplasty may be an ideal solution. The entire procedure is spread out over a series of 3 surgeries in which a catheter is inserted into the lungs. A powerful heat destroys the smooth muscle there that is often guilty of restricting airways. This smooth muscle not only restricts and blocks airways, but it can also constrict lungs further in response to an allergy trigger.
While bronchial thermoplasty is only recommended in the most severe of cases, it's good to know that researchers continue to develop new solutions for those who seek asthma treatment.

Two swimmers rescued at Hampton Beach
Friday, July 26, 2013
HAMPTON — Two swimmers had to be rescued Thursday night after they became caught in a dangerous rip tide about 75 yards from shore at Hampton Beach.
The individuals rescued from the water, both 28-year-old men, were medically assessed by Hampton Fire & Rescue personnel. Both of the men refused further medical treatment and indicated that they had been in the water for 30-40 minutes before being rescued. They stated they entered the water to go swimming when they were quickly swept out by a strong rip tide. |
