Cruise News Shorts: At-Sea Rescue, New Dining Plan, Earn-a-Cruise and More Cruise News
(12:20 p.m. EST) --
Every week we catch wind of so much cruise news, we don't always know what to do with it all, but a few standout bits sometimes catch our attention. Here are some interesting cruise tidbits we think you might like to know about.
Ahoy There
Mickey Mouse is not just a celebrity -- he's a hero.
Disney Dream
rescued two stranded sailors from a small boat while sailing through the
on Wednesday afternoon. The ship found the sailors, both U.S. citizens, after responding to their distress call, a
Disney Cruise Line
spokesperson told Cruise Critic. The individuals were brought onboard and given medical attention, as well as food and water. They were disembarked in Port Canaveral when Dream returned Thursday morning. Check out a video of the rescue on
Cruise Critic U.K.
Bon Appetit
Continuing with the trend of packaging services and amenities,
Celebrity Cruises
is offering a new series of specialty restaurant packages. The packages provide passengers savings of up to 31 percent when compared with the cost of booking reservations individually onboard. Among the offerings are three-, four- and five-dinner packages, as well as an "ultimate" package. The Ultimate Specialty Package features unlimited dinners, at least one specialty restaurant lunch, one admission to a Champagne High Tea, as well as unlimited breakfasts, lunches and dinners in Bistro on Five or The Porch (Celebrity Silhouette and Celebrity Reflection only). The availability of packages, as well as prices and which restaurants are included, vary slightly by ship. For instance, the three-dinner package is available on all ships
Celebrity Silhouette
Celebrity Reflection
, while the four-dinner package is
available on Celebrity Silhouette and Celebrity Reflection. All packages can be pre-ordered except the Ultimate package, which can only be purchased onboard.
Pay for 10 Cruises, Sail 11
small ship specialist
American Cruise Lines
has introduced the Eagle Society, a new loyalty program for repeat passengers. Among the benefits are: a free cruise upon completion of 10 cruises, free shore excursions after completing three cruises, a selection of gifts ranging from customized officer jackets to Champagne, customized luggage tags and invitations to exclusive sailings and savings. For Eagle Society members who live in or near a ship's port of call, the line invites them to come aboard for lunch or dinner, or they may invite friends or family aboard to tour the ship or join them for a meal.
Giddyup Internet
Royal Caribbean
has expanded its partnership with O3b Networks to expand ultra-fast Internet access to
Allure of the Seas
. Currently, the specific technology that enables the faster Internet is only available on
Oasis of the Seas
. According to O3b Networks the technology provides fiber-like Internet speeds and costs less. That's two ships down, just 20 more to go.
At the Movies
Carnival Cruise Line
is bringing its Fun Ship 2.0 upgrades to its Lido Deck poolside theaters, renaming the evening event "Dive In Movies," and featuring theme nights, custom movie trailers and branded popcorn boxes, according to
Cruise Currents
. For those chilly evenings, passengers will even be able to check out comfy blankets to keep them warm.
Luxury Tastings
In a bid to lure new cruisers to its luxury brand,
Silversea Cruises
is introducing a collection of eight shorter cruises. The four- to seven-night sailings visit Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. Among the options are: four-night Hamburg to Copenhagen, Barcelona to Rome and Rome to Monte Carlo sailings; five-night Lisbon to Barcelona and Monte Carlo to Barcelona sailings; a six-night Southampton to Hamburg sailing; and seven-night Lisbon to Barcelona and Athens to Rome sailings.
Conversing with the Stars
Seabourn Cruise Line
is introducing "Seabourn Conversations," a new onboard enrichment program that will bring guest experts and celebrities onto the luxury line's ships. Among the first participants will be actress Penelope Ann Miller, author Christopher Buckley, mountaineer Paul Deegan, chef Michelle Bernstein and diplomat Robert Smolik.
As If There Wasn't Enough Food
Holland America Line
has rolled out its casual Italian eatery, Canaletto Restaurant, to
and transformed the Lido Terrace into an enclosed Wintergarden. Prinsendam is the last ship in the HAL fleet to get the Italian restaurant, which is only open for dinner.

Partly cloudy skies are in store for Sunday night; breaks between the clouds will allow for some radiational cooling and the development of fog. Monday will start with a few areas of fog that will quickly move out. Skies will be sunny by the afternoon with highs in the upper 60s, near 70 degrees. Monday will be a bit breezy as well with wind gusts around 20 mph.
High pressure takes full control of our weather this week keeping it clear and dry. Accompanying the high pressure will be a thermal trough. A thermal trough is an area that develops along the West Coast and pulls in warm air from the southwest. The warm air works it's way up the West Coast and depending on the strength of the trough, will bring warm air into western Oregon. Temperatures are expected in the mid 60s along the coast, mid 70s in the Willamette Valley and near 80 degrees in the Umpqua Basin.
Onshore flow will return Thursday and Friday bringing in a bit cooler air and a few more clouds.
Have a wonderful week!

Proposition 13 under assault in SacramentoWednesday, July 3rd, 2013 Issue 27, Volume 17.
In 1978, an overwhelming majority of the voters passed Proposition 13 in an effort to end the system of annual increases in property taxes based on re-assessed property value. I will not support proposals that in any way diminish Prop. 13s effectiveness as one of the last remaining tools protecting California taxpayers. Unfortunately, this session, a number of bills that threaten Advertisement Raising taxes will be counterproductive; it will drive job creating businesses away, slow prospects for economic recovery and hinder the future prosperity of all Californians. During my term in the California Assembly, I will continue to stand firm in my opposition to any legislation that undermines Proposition 13. Assemblymember Waldrons office is located in Escondido; phone (760) 480-7570. 8 comments
I believe all property owners should be taxed equally and the rate of the Property tax should be based on service provided. The system we have now favors those that have not sold and repurchased. There are many other flaws -- For example there is no consideration for those that maintain their own roads, and what is with this guarantee of a 2% increase per year which they take regardless of the economy and if you do appeal and get a reduction I doubt the average tax payer understands the ramifications of Proposition 8. It is time to throw out Prop 13 and 8 and start all over with a tax that is fair and does not target those that spend more on their home.
If Prop 13 is over turned thousands of senior citizens will lose their homes. People on a fixed income cannot afford to pay $10,000 a year and more on property taxes, many are barely holding on to their homes as it is. The repeal of Prop 13 will just cause more homes to go into foreclosure and what good will hundreds of thousands of older homes, many in need of repair, do the state of California if they suddenly have them on their hands for defaulted property taxes? I agree that something needs to be done about the high cost of property taxes but repealing a law that the people already voted on and making more people homeless isn't the way.
Nevada see you in 17 months the heat is nothing compared as what`s here and what`s on its way to TAXIFORNIA increased water rates, SDG&E rate increase, gas tax increase,so on and so on .
Here is the history of why the 2/3 rule was implement and why it is still important today. http://www.foxandhoundsdaily.com/2013/07/independence-day-democracy-and-the-two-thirds-vote/ Here is the the score card on how California stacks up to the other 49 states http://riderrants.blogspot.com/2012/11/ca-vs-other-49-states-revised-11812.html Note how despite higher taxes, California is failing in almost all areas. This explains why businesses are leaving California at a rate 67.7% higher than the second worst State (Kansas). http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-07-03/why-are-californias-businesses-disappearing Only fools think raising taxes are going to make things better.
Enough is enough is enough is enough with taxation! You and I are NOT a limitless supply of money! When a person receives $1 from another person and believes that this $1 was sufficient for the task at hand, yet realizes that it was not after the fact, then the solution is NOT to go back to the "lender" and ask for an additional 10 cents. THE SOLUTION IS TO BUDGET THE $1 BEFOREHAND PROPERLY! Enough is enough is enough with taxation! The solution is NOT to suck more money out of us; the solution is for the receiver of our tax dollars to budget this money wisely and properly! Folks, PLEASE vote down ANY and EVERY tax proposal, tax initiative, tax hike, etc.! ALL of them!
It's too late, Obama willingly and knowingly 'gave' billions of dollars away to banks, auto industries, insurance companies, energy companies and on and on and on and on.... we did not get to vote... he did it because he 'could'. We are going to pay higher taxes, as that is the only way to return the monies....fortunately, he stopped 'printing' more green-backs. We and the next generations will pay for his "I need votes greed". (2012 campaign).
Property taxes are unconstitutional and make the local government the true owner and authority of one's property. If you stop paying property taxes ("lease fees"), "your" property rights are taken away. I find property taxes absurd and the government wasteful. Figure out how to work with the sales tax and stop wasting my money. Mortgages are a great way to hide how much you are forking out every year for these taxes. They "hide" in your monthly mortgage and one is just happy to "make the payment". "As long as I can afford my monthly payment, I don't care." We own our home and it makes my blood boil every time I write that chunk of a check out, especially because I homeschool and do not receive a tax write off for the supplies, books and resources I use to teach my children. The whole things a heist.
Marie Waldron is new and likely doesn't realize that there is nothing she or the Republicans can do to stop this taxing and regulation train wreck striking Califonria. I have never seen in America a more oppressive government than what has been coming out of Sacramento. Liberal activists work their entire lives to gain authority in this state bringing their whacky agendas with them. Unfortunately, California voters are either too complacent or too dumb to figure out what their government is doing to them and their future. It is by

Cops Catch Up With Alleged Murderer
by Staff | Nov 7, 2013 4:19 pm
(1) Comment | Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Police Thursday arrested a 19-year-old man for the July 3 murder of Brian Gibson—a man to whom he was related.
The arrestee was a cousin, by marriage, of the murder victim.
In an added coincidence, the arrestee is a cousin, by blood, of Erika Robinson, the 26-year-old woman killed by a stray bullet during a mass shooting at the Key Club on St. John St. Robinson was not the intended target of that shooting, and she had absolutely nothing to do with the man arrested Thursday or his crimes, police pointed out.
Gibson's family is scheduled to appear with top cops at a Friday afternoon press conference at police headquarters.
Police developed the arrestee as a prime suspect soon after Gibson's July 3 murder on South Genessee Street in the West Hills neighborhood. They finally caught up with him Thursday.
Detectives had "developed information" that he was staying in a first-floor apartment on Gilbert Avenue and found him there, said Assistant Police Chief Archie Generoso.

Until young people in New Haven begin to shun, out, reject, and turn-in all the violent criminals among them - in class, in neighborhood, relations and acquaintances- then they will all be one degree (if not less) separated from one another. Victims, criminals, families, and friends alike. The violence continues because it is tolerated and tacitly accepted as expected or as a reasonable reaction to circumstance - it is not.

El Salvador abortion woman has C-section
A seriously ill woman who was denied an abortion by the Supreme Court in El Salvador has undergone a premature Caesarean section.
The 22-year-old woman, who has lupus and kidney problems, sought to end the pregnancy, which doctors said posed a serious risk to her life.
The foetus developed without a complete brain and skull and died shortly after birth.
Last week the supreme court upheld El Salvador's absolute ban on abortions.
Health Minister Maria Isabel Rodriguez said the baby had died five hours after the C-section.
Doctors decided the procedure had become necessary when the woman started having contractions on Sunday night, Ms Rodriguez said.
She insisted that the medical intervention did not contravene the court ruling.
Under the ruling, she said, "mother had to be given all the necessary protection to save her life, while analysing how long one could wait and do the utmost to save the baby's life".
It is not clear how far advanced exactly the pregnancy was, with local sources saying the woman was 24 weeks pregnant, while Reuters news agency said she was 27 weeks pregnant and Agence France Press agency reporting she had the C-section after 26 weeks of gestation.
'Extreme measures'Latin America's abortion laws
- Abortion is completely banned in seven countries in Latin America - El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Chile, Honduras, Haiti, Suriname
- Only Cuba, Guyana, Puerto Rico and Uruguay allow abortions beyond cases of rape, incest or threats to a woman's health.
- In 2012, Uruguay's congress voted narrowly to legalise abortions during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy
- In Mexico, only Mexico City has legalised abortion, during the first 12 weeks
- Brazil's senate is currently debating the legalisation of terminations during the first 12 weeks
- The estimated annual number of abortions in Latin America increased slightly between 2003 and 2008, from 4.1 million to 4.4 million, but the rate per 1,000 women remained steady
- 95 percent of abortions in Latin America from 1995-2008 were considered to be unsafe
- Highly restrictive abortion laws are not associated with lower abortion rates, the WHO says. For example, the 2008 abortion rate was 32 abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age in Latin America. In Western Europe, where abortion is generally permitted on broad grounds, the abortion rate was 12 per 1,000
Sources: World Health Organisation, Guttmacher Institute
The woman, referred to as "Beatriz", is now in a stable condition in intensive care.
Her plight had drawn international attention after the Supreme Court denied her the abortion she was seeking despite the medical risks involved in the pregnancy and the low chances of the foetus surviving beyond birth.
A medical committee at her maternity hospital, the Ministry of Health and rights groups had supported her request to terminate her pregnancy.
But the Supreme Court argued that the "the rights of the mother cannot take precedence over those of the unborn child or vice versa, and that there is an absolute bar to authorising an abortion" under the Salvadoran constitution.
El Salvador banned all types of abortion in 1999. The sentence for doctors and women violating that ban is 50 years in prison.
A non-binding resolution by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights last week called on the Salvadoran authorities to take action to save Beatriz's life.
"This pregnancy is a risk to her life, a fact that merits extreme and urgent measures to be taken to safeguard her health," the regional court based in San Jose, Costa Rica, said.
Women's rights groups in El Salvador have welcomed the decision by the country's health ministry to allow the C-section but have condemned the long wait Beatriz had to endure, which they say inflicted "unnecessary suffering".
Spokeswoman for the anti-abortion group Red Familia Claudia Handal also welcomed the outcome.
"We're happy because as we said from the beginning, it wasn't necessary to perform an abortion, the point was to respect the baby's life and to give Beatriz the care and the right to health that she deserved," she told Reuters news agency.

Potter County (SD) rallies to down Lady Clippers
Potter County (SD) went on a 14-6 run over the final 4:10 to pull out a 59-55 victory over Strasburg-Zeeland in Strasburg on Feb. 2. The Lady Clippers dropped to 8-7 on the season, while Potter County improved to 8-5.
Strasburg-Zeeland raced out to an 8-2 advantage less than 2:00 into the game, but Potter County closed out the first period with an 11-4 run, and Alysyn Breaw's putback late in the period gave the Lady Battlers a 13-12 edge.
A pair of baskets by Alli Lake, a field goal by Sydney Logan, and a free throw by Lake capped a 9-0 run that gave Potter County its biggest lead (20-12) with just under 5:00 left in the first half, but Strasburg-Zeeland closed the margin to 3 points (23-20), before Potter County took a 27-22 advantage to the break.
Potter County hit on just 11 of 26 (42%) field goals and 3 of 8 (38%) free throws in the first half, while Strasburg-Zeeland connected on just 8 of 23 (35%) field goals, and 5 of 6 free throws in the half. Lake (13), Breaw (7) and Logan (7) took care of all of the scoring for Potter County in the first half, and Courtney Buabch netted a dozen first-half points for Strasburg-Zeeland.
Strasburg-Zeeland would open each of the final two quarters with a bang, but the Lady Clippers could not hold the lead in the late going of either of them. The Lady Clippers opened the second half with a 10-2 run, and Suzanne Ternes capped a string of 7 unaswered points with a field goal to give Strasburg-Zeeland a 32-29 lead with 4:52 left in the third period. However, Potter County ripped off 8 straight points over the next 2:30, and back-to-back three-pointers by Lake and Tara Heuer gave the Lady Battlers a 37-32 advantage. Potter County would build a 6-point advantage before taking a 41-37 lead into the final quarter.
Strasburg-Zeeland also opened the fourth quarter with a 10-2 run, and baskets by Ali Wolf and Brittany Moser gave the Lady Clippers a 47-43 lead with just over 5:00 left. The Lady Clippers still led by 4 points (49-45) after Brooke Scherr knocked down a jumper with 4:28 left, but Strasburg-Zeeland would muster just a single free throw over the next 3:00, while Potter County went on a 10-1 run to regain the lead for good.
Heuer started the run with a three-pointer at the 4:10 mark, and Lake ended the run with another triple, which gave the Lady Battlers a 55-50 advantage with 1:45 left.Wolf finally ended the Lady Clipper's field goal drought with a basket at the 1:28 mark, but Lake put back an offensive rebound on the other end for a 57-52 lead with under a minute left.
After a Lady Clipper turnover, and a missed free throw by Heuer, Bubach canned a straight-on three-pointer to cut the lead to 57-55 with half a minute left, and another missed free throw by Heuer left the Lady Clippers with possession with :25 remaining. Strasburg-Zeeland worked the clock down to under :10, before turning the ball over on a jump ball with :06 left. Heuer was sent to the line again, and this time, she sank both shots to seal up the victory (59-55) with just :03.4 showing on the clock.
Potter County shot just 42 percent from both the field (24 of 57) and the line (5 of 12), but the Lady Battlers held a 38-29 advantage in rebounds, including a 15-5 margin on offensive boards. Strasburg-Zeeland hit 13 of 19 (68%) free throws, but the Lady Clippers connected on just 20 of 49 (41%) field goals in the game.
Lake scored 16 of her game-high 29 points in the second half, including 9 in the final period, while Breaw and Logan scored 11 points apiece, and Heuer netted 8 points to complete the scoring for Potter County. Strasburg-Zeeland also had three players in double figures, with Bubach netting 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Wolf scoring 15 points and grabbing 7 boards, and Moser scoring 14 points with 4 rebounds and a game-high 7 steals for the Lady Clippers.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Regulators investigating JPMorgan, Bank of America for money laundering
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
September 16th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, the federal agency that oversees the biggest banks is reportedly investigation Bank of America and JPMorgan on suspicion of money laundering. According to the New York Times, officials spoke of the investigation on the condition of anonymity. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The OCC could soon take action against JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that it is also investigating Bank of America Corp.Money laundering is a common criminal practice where people make money from illegal means and then re-route to make it appear like it came from a different source. The financial industry has lost favor with the U.S. public over the past few years. Hidden fees, debit transactions and the like has made many American learn to live without banks. Regulators are under increasing pressure to prove that banks are not doing any questionable activity. In order to win back the public's trust. British bank Barclays PLC settled charges that it had manipulated a key global interest rate this past summer. Standard Chartered PLC, also in the U.K., agreed to settle charges that it had improperly processed money for Iran. JPMorgan surprised shareholders with an unexpected trading loss last spring. If the OCC presses forward, the outcome could be similar to a cease-and-desist order that it filed against Citigroup in April. OCC said at the time that Citi had deficient internal controls and anti-money laundering procedures. In bank regulation, a cease-and-desist order doesn't mean that a bank has to shut down -- but it is a serious sanction that requires a bank to change its practices. Citi had already told the regulator that from 2006 to 2010, it had "failed to adequately monitor" some of its transactions connected to "foreign correspondent banking." The orders instructed Citigroup to tighten its rules so it could improve compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and related regulations. The Secrecy act requires financial institutions to report suspicious activity. JPMorgan paid $88 million to settle charges from the Treasury that it had unlawfully processed money for Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Liberia last year. JPMorgan said at that time it had had no intent to violate regulations, pointing out that it oversaw "hundreds of millions of transactions and customer records per day, and annual error rates are a tiny fraction of a percent." It's likely that the banks in question will be accused of faulty oversight that made any unlawful transactions possible. The industry has maintained that such violations are almost always unintentional. . Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

With more of us staying at home for holidays, finding fun days out for the whole family has never been more important – and with Avis Rent a Car, it's never been easier. Rent a spacious estate and fit in everything you need for a seaside summer day, or rent a people carrier and take the kids and their friends too.
By renting an estate or people carrier from Avis you avoid all the worry of wear and tear on your own car, and avoid all those endless fights that come from squashing all the kids together in the back. Our extensive fleet of vehicles makes a great family day out full of fun, and it's so much simpler than struggling with public transport as you can drive right to the door of your destination. And when you add up the cost of the train or coach for everyone, you'll find hiring a car from Avis is well worth it.
Here are five top days out that all the family will enjoy:
1. Isle of Thanet, Kent
Head east from the capital on the A28 or A299 and enjoy a traditional day out at the seaside on the Isle of Thanet in Kent. Not strictly an island, this superb stretch of coast boasts no less than nine clean, safe Blue Flag beaches full of fascinating rockpools to keep the kids amused all day. Plus there are promenades, cliff top walks and all the family fun you'd expect from great British seaside towns, including Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate.
2. Alton Towers, Staffordshire
With world famous rides and attractions, Alton Towers theme park needs no introduction. Simply follow the signs from the M1 (J23a or J24) or M6 (J15 or J16) for an adrenaline filled day with something for everyone. Speed from 0-60 in 2.2 seconds on the Rita ride, or experience the world's first vertical freefall drop rollercoaster TH13TEEN. One admission price pays for all the rides you want, and if you book online in advance you'll save even more.
3. The GreenWood Forest Park, Snowdonia
Situated in the foothills of Snowdonia, just off the A55 between Bangor and Caernarfon, you'll find rides of an altogether different kind at GreenWood Forest Park – because at this award-winning eco-friendly attraction, all the rides are people powered! And that's just the start of the fun in the forest. You can try your skills as Robin Hood on the archery range, go Indiana Jones on the Jungle Boat Trail, or create your own souvenirs in the wonderful woodcraft centre, in a delightfully different day out with something for everyone.
4. Chester Zoo, Cheshire
Just a few minutes drive following the signs from the M53 (J10) and M56 (J14), Chester Zoo is a must for any family's summer schedule. Chester is the UK's number one zoo, with over 7000 animals and 400 different species, including some of the most endangered on the planet, all surrounded by stunning gardens. Don't miss the boat ride around the zoo or see it all from above on the monorail.
5. Scottish Seabird Centre, North Berwick
25 miles east of Edinburgh on the A198, the Scottish Seabird Centre is like Springwatch all year round, with everything from seal pups to sea birds, puffins to dolphins all on view, up close and personal, on giant screens at the centre and out and about around the grounds. Book a boat trip to Bass Rock, one of Sir David Attenborough's 'wildlife wonders of the world', and enjoy the rest of the day on the white sand beaches of the Firth of Forth.
Everyone can come along with Avis
You can bring the whole family along when you hire a car from Avis, because you can organise baby and child seat hire on request and add an extra driver so you can take turns at driving and looking after the kids. And with home delivery available in most parts of the UK, your big day out starts right from your doorstep.

These stumps may look like the real thing, but they are much more comfortable! Made from recycled materials and covered with photographic prints, these versatile poufs from Norwegian brand Krone Hanssen can be used as side tables or extra seating.
I love that this print looks as if it were pulled from a treasured, old botanical identification text. The artist mixed antique engravings with her own original watercolors, gouache and ink illustrations.
This print from Honey Cup is sweet enough for a kid's room, for sure, but it's so charming that I think I would hang it in my office instead!
Add a warm, cozy touch to your bed or sofa with this hooked wool animal pillow from Garnet Hill. I am partial to the fox, but there are several other designs to choose from.
I've been a huge fan of Tamar Mogendorff for years, and her latest creations have me swooning all over again. These plump, colorful mushroom soft sculptures will brighten up any little corner you choose to display them in.
This petite mushroom sculpture from Jayson Home would add a welcome organic touch to a shelf display or tablescape. I would put it atop a stack of nature photography books on my coffee table.
Feel like getting your hands dirty? Build your own little verdant world inside this gorgeous, bubbled glass terrarium from Terrain.
This vintage Brass Fox letter opener would look so chic on a mail tray near the front door — or, even better, on a dedicated writing desk alongside a bevy of luxe paper goods and bespoke stationery.
Feed your washi tape habit with this ridiculously cute squirrel dispenser. I love this little guy so much that I want to scoop up a few extras to keep on hand as last-minute gifts!
I adore the delicate fern frond design on these letterpress coasters from Red Bird Ink. They are almost too lovely to spoil by setting a glass on top.
Have this faux bois vase personalized with initials for you and your sweetie, or give it as a unique alternative to the typical wedding registry gift.
This faux bois wall shelf from Ballard Designs looks so elegant-wood-nymph that anything you put on top will seem extra special.
I want a big helping of this Mushroom Soup wallpaper from Ferm Living! The print is whimsical and fun, yet it is restrained enough to make it easy to live with.
I would love to replace the knobs of my small, vintage dresser with these sly little foxes for a subtle nod to the woods and fields. They would also be adorable on kitchen cabinets in a getaway cabin.
Decoylab turns out some of the most creative clocks around, not the least of which is the sleek and modern mushroom. It would be cute sitting on a mantel or bedside table, or tucked into a bookcase amidst the books.
This little owl dish is the perfect size and shape for holding keys and change at the front door. Of course, it is also food safe, so you could use it to serve nuts at your next party.
The color palette and stylized design of this owl print from Roddy & Ginger make it the perfect complement to a midcentury modern–style living space.
These Autumn Owl dessert plates from West Elm are so dear. I would be tempted to hang them on the wall rather than eat off them!
The fact that this fox pillow from Urban Outfitters is done in black and white makes it seem ever so slightly more serious — and totally appropriate for a grown-up bedroom.
This storage piece from West Elm almost looks like an amazing vintage find — except you would never find anything quite this cool in a vintage shop. You could use this in your bedroom, but it's just as well suited for use as an entertainment center in the living room or den.

A brain aneurysm (or cerebral aneurysm) is an abnormal bulging outward or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery in the brain. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. An aneurysm that grows and becomes large enough can burst, causing dangerous, often fatal, bleeding inside the body. A brain aneurysm is often discovered when it ruptures, causing bleeding into the brain or the space closely surrounding the brain. A ruptured brain aneurysm can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage and death.
A brain aneurysm cannot be prevented however an unruptured brain aneurysm can sometimes be treated to prevent rupture. The best way to prevent a brain aneurysm is to avoid several risk factors.
To do this, you can: Quit smoking. Eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet to reduce the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Plaque is a fatty buildup that narrows the arteries. Control high blood pressure (eating a low-salt diet helps). Control high cholesterol. Get regular physical activity.Learn more about:

Location was very convenient. Easy to find. Rooms were clean and the heat/air was up to date and functioned very well.
Room was too close to the elevator - noisy!
The indoor swimming pool is nice. The breakfast included nutritious choices as well as wide selection of sweet things. Bed very comfortable.
FOR a 2-star motel it was clean and staff were very friendly
king bed was not comfortable, and the room was a little noisey. thin walls.
It was warm and comfortable on a very cold night!
I can' think of anything. This lodging offers good value for the traveler.
Here's why:

gorgeous Chinese wedding bed. antique purchased at an antique store in San Fran 3 years ago and shipped it across country because i couldn't resist. unfortunately i just moved from a 2 bedroom to a one bedroom so no longer have the luxury of a far east guest bedroom. currently have a twin mattress in it which you are more than welcome to take with it since it has only been slept on a handful of times. the platform will fit a larger mattress but is just shy of fitting a full so it would need to be custom to maximize sleeping space. this is truly a show stopping conversation piece. feel free to come by and see it. the dimensions are as follows and it disassembles for easy moving. 80"H x 80"W x 52"D.

Pedometers 101
by Dana Angelo White in Fitness, April 21, 2012
Counting individual steps may seem like a silly way to get some exercise but every little bit helps. Using a pedometer can be a fabulous motivational tool to get you to move more; use our tips and get stepping!
What is a Pedometer?
A pedometer is a pocket-sized device that senses movement and registers each step you take. Some units require a belt loop attachment while others can be carried in your pocket or worn around your neck. Some models may also have settings to estimate calories burned while walking, but these are often inaccurate unless there is an option to adjust for additional details like weight, age and gender.
Pedometers range in price from $6.00 to more than $30.00 – the higher pricing is typically associated with extra features like distance tracking and calorie counting. Smartphone lovers will be pleased to know that there are quite a few pedometer apps – many of which are free or less than $3.00. Using the GPS already loaded in a Smartphone, many offer accurate distance tracking for less than a hand-held pedometer. Arawella Pedometer and Pedometer Pro GPS as well as Palm Shadow Footsteps Pedometer all carry high ratings.
Many fitness-centric wrist watches also come with built-in pedometers and heart rate monitors (more about heart rate monitors in an upcoming post).
Getting Started
Since everyone walks a little differently, it's a good idea to calibrate your pedometer so you can estimate how much distance you've covered. First, start by taking a small number of steps (10 for example) to make sure you and the pedometer are on the same page. Then move on to figuring out how many steps it takes you to travel a greater distance.
Map out a route in your neighborhood or visit a local track so you know that the distance you're covering is equal to one mile. Reset the pedometer, walk the mile, and see how many steps it counts – now you'll know how many steps equal one mile for you no matter where you are.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
• 10,000 steps a day is a good goal to work towards – this is the amount found to help reduce your risk of chronic disease.
• 12,000 to 15,000 steps a day is associated with successful weight loss.
• Make it a healthy competition – challenge a friend or a co-worker to see who takes more steps.
• Keep a daily log and see how many miles you cover in a week, then try to top it the next week.
• Periodically increase your speed or add some hills to your routine to give your cardiovascular system a workout.

Is Your Your Cell Phone Stealing Your Life Force?
Waking Times: Your life force is your energy, often referred to as Qi, Prana, or Life Force. There are many names for it, and it is absolutely essential to life. Many people don't believe in energy because they can't see it or touch it. Interestingly though, most everyone feels energy, even if they are not recognizing it for what it is. It's easy to explain off those feelings as one thing or another, but make no mistake about it, energy is all around us. If it weren't, then you and I wouldn't be here. Most people believe that life is nourished and sustained by other 'physical objects', such as food, yet, this is not actually how life maintains itself. Energy is the substance that sustains life. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, etc. do not sustain life, it is the energy inside of these substances that enables life to exist here. Our bodies are in essence biological machines which run on energy, not dirt. Without energy, there is no life. If your mind drives your energy and your cell phone puts your mind on objects outside of your physical body, then, is your cell phone stealing your energy? In a sense, yes, especially so if you become obsessed with these devices, and your need to feel connected to them grows out of proportion. Under this principle, it is quite possible you are giving your energy away with these devices when you could be holding on to it....read more>>>...

Guiri Guest Julie is ready for a change from being a project manager that works from home and has written about an element that is preparing her for the next step: Certifying her Spanish language skills. She is South African by birth and has lived in various European countries before settling in Madrid in early 2010 with her husband.
After almost two years of living in Madrid I have finally decided to put my Spanish language skills through their paces. For better of worse I am taking the 4-hour official Spanish government's language test for foreigners, the DELE on November 18. The exam has a number of levels from basic/initial to superior so there is something for everyone.
Now you might be asking why bother take this exam, you are already in Spain and learning as you go, why spend the time and money (its not cheap, most levels are a bit over 100 euros) to take an official exam?
I have two main reasons for doing the DELE:
– Prove you 'Habla the language': If you don't plan to settle in Spain forever, you will be able to take this internationally recognised certification with you to demonstrate your Spanish language skills wherever you might go next. It's also a great way to add your new skills onto your CV in very professional way (as opposed to adding a line- lived in Spain, speak Spanish I promise).
– Learn Spanish faster: Lets be honest there is nothing like an exam to get us to work harder. I take regular Spanish lessons but if I don't do my homework or forget the grammar from the week before, so what? This exam deadline is a way to motivate me to concentrate harder in class, make more effort to speak to locals and study all those complicated grammatical rules (imperfecto del subjonctivo anyone?)
You need to register by 14 October for the November exam but if this is a bit too soon then why not register for the May exam and give yourself a good couple of months to prepare?
There are Spanish examination centres all over the city where you can register and take the exam. Once I have taken the exam and received the results I'll update you all on how it goes. I am taking Level B1 which I'm told is relatively easy for anyone who's lived in Spain for a bit. For all those who speak Spanish fluently I'd suggest Level B2 or C1. And for anyone new to Spain and to Spanish, a couple of months of study should allow you to take A1 or A2 exams.

5 Stocks Under $10 Poised to Pop
Supernus Pharmaceuticals
Another under-$10 stock that's trending within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade is Supernus Pharmaceuticals (SUPN - Get Report), which is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for the treatment of central nervous system, or CNS, diseases. This stock has been destroyed by the sellers during the last six months, with shares off by 39%.
If you take a look at the chart for Supernus Pharmaceuticals, you'll notice that this stock has been trending range-bound for the last two months, after gapping down from $11 a share in early December. That range-bound action has shares of SUPN moving between $6.75 on the downside and just below $8 a share on the upside. This stock has also started to trend higher off that low of $6.75 a share and it's quickly moving within range of breaking out above the upper end of its recent sideways trading pattern.

I'm a little late this week due to my vacation, but here it is!
- Why is it perfectly acceptable for someone to put an advertisement up in their front yard, but not acceptable for them to put up images of hard core pornography? On a related question, why is it legitimate to insist with the police powers of the state that people wear clothes out on the street? <– I asked this one!
- How important is physical appearance (in the face)? [He REALLY went off on this one.]
- Should one think of one's self in the third person and if one does, what does it mean?
- Is it valid to care less about the Haitian earthquake tragedy because their society is so deliberately primitive?
I'm getting really good at asking him questions he wants to answer. I need to think of some way to ask him about strippers or porno or sex toys as such, though. That always sets him off on a direction he seems to enjoy.

Eritrea: The defections of Ali Abdu – Is Afewerki's control slipping away?
Eritrean information minister Ali Abdu, who is rumored to have defected this past week, helped build one of the world's strictest systems of media control.
Eritrea sits on some of the most important real estate in Africa, occupying a thin sliver of coastline at the mouth of the Red Sea. The country straddles one side of a globally significant shipping lane, and the actions of whoever's ruling in Asmara affects the stability of every neighboring country, from already troublesome places like Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, which lie just across the sea. Yet Eritrea itself is one of the most opaque places on earth. Under the 21-year rule of Isaias Afewerki, the country has aided al Qaeda-affiliated militants in Somalia, warred against Ethiopia, and precipitated a refugee crisis that has percolated throughout the Horn of Africa and the greater Middle East, cloaked in a fog that even other governments have a difficult time penetrating. Ali Abdu, the country's all-powerful information minister, is part of the reason why. In an ironic development, it is now unclear whether Abdu is still working with the government, or even if he is still in Eritrea. Thanks to the strict information controls Abdu helped erect during his decade-long tenure as information minister, his movements over the past month have been shrouded in mystery, his possible defection from Afewerki's government shielded from public view by the very system he helped create.
Evidence of Abdu's defection mostly lies in a French-language report by freelance journalist Leonard Vincent, who supposedly based his findings on both defectors and sources in Asmara. According to Eritrean diaspora sources, Abdu, who left Eritrea for Europe in November, had been traveling with state TV producer Daniel Kiflom, who is also rumored to have defected from Afewerki's government (Kiflom did not comment when reached by email). In late November, when an Eritrean opposition website claimed that Abdu had defected during his trip abroad, media reports quickly circulated that the minister had already returned to Asmara, and that reports of his departure were fabrications meant to destabilize Eritrea. Vincent's article asserts otherwise: that no one has seen Abdu in the capital for several weeks, or even spoken to him. Abdu already has family living abroad: his wife has been living in Canada for several years, and he has a brother who lives in California, a cofounder of an English-language Eritrean news site. And he hasn't been spotted in public for several weeks.
"The rumors are symptomatic of the regime's draconian grip on information."
Mohammed Keita of the Committee to Protect Journalists is not sure if the reports of Abdu's defection are true. But Keita, who covers Eritrea for CPJ and who has communicated with Abdu to voice his concerns on media freedom issues on several occasions, wouldn't dismiss them either. "It's definitely the case that he hasn't been seen in public," Keita told me. "And even when we were trying to get in touch with him three weeks ago [after the earlier reports of his defection], none of his numbers worked, or he didn't respond." Something is up, but that may or may not mean that Abdu is on his way to Canada or the United States, as some sources in the diaspora have already indicated. When reached for comment, an official at Eritrea's permanent mission to the U.N. said that Abdu is in the capital, and was still information minister. For Keita, this week's reports at least "point to an unanswered question about [Abdu's] unusual disappearance from public view."
And they point to a larger, related issue as well. Abdu played a central role in one of the most oppressive governments on earth. The opacity that now surrounds his whereabouts is a symptom of more general problems in Eritrea, issues that have made life virtually impossible for much of the population — indeed, over a quarter-million Eritreans are living as refugees in surrounding countries, despite the absence of war or (for the most part) famine conditions within Eritrea itself. "The rumors are symptomatic of the regime's draconian grip on information," says Keita. And that, in turn, is symptomatic of Afewerki's draconian grip on nearly everything else. Read more

State Investigators Find Violations at Over 70% of Worcester County Optical Businesses
"These inspections are part of a statewide campaign to ensure that licensed professionals are living up to the regulatory standards of their profession," stated Anne L. Collins, director of the Division of Professional Licensure.
In verifying 71 dispensing optician licenses, investigators found three individuals to be operating with expired licenses. One of them, John Cather of Worcester, had been operating with an expired license for more than twenty years. These individuals will be required to appear before the Board and are subject to back fees, penalties and potential disciplinary action. This is the second sweep conducted by the Board of Registration of Dispensing Opticians. In 2003, Board investigators inspected businesses across Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties, finding violations in over 60% of the businesses visited.
The Board of Registration of Dispensing Opticians licenses over 1,800 dispensing opticians throughout the Commonwealth. During fiscal year 2004, the Board received eight new complaints and resolved six complaints, resulting in four licensee consent agreements and the placing of one license on probation.
Consumers are urged to visit the Division of Professional Licensure's website at www.mass.gov/reg and select the "check a license" option to determine whether a professional they are considering doing business with is licensed and in good standing.
The Division of Professional Licensure is an agency within the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. It is responsible for ensuring the integrity of the licensing process for 43 trades and professions regulated by 29 boards of registration, the updating and renewal of approximately 330,000 licenses and the maintenance of databases for licensing, enforcement and revenue collection. In fiscal year 2004, the Division of Professional Licensure imposed record levels of enforcement, including 829 disciplinary actions, $128,000 in fines and the return of more than $25,000 to consumers.

Jose Mourinho has admitted that he has no time to think about the FIFA Coach of the Year award he has been nominated for.
The Portuguese tactician is up for the prestigious award alongside Pep Guardiola and Vicente Del Bosque, but is focusing purely on the Madrid derby with Atletico on Saturday evening.
"I have no time to think about awards," he told a Press conference. "It is a good question for Guardiola, who is on vacation, and Del Bosque, who has three months off.
"But for me, I have three games in a week – I have no time to think about that."
He then went on to comment on the match with Diego Simeone's side and the recent fan reaction to the club's poor performances.
"I want the fans to support Real Madrid and to help us win the game," he said. "If they want to whistle, then let them – I have been in football many years, it doesn't affect me.
"Atletico are winning game and are looking good for a Champions League place. But we expect to win and I believe no one will be disappointed."

Concierge.com's insider take:
A pristine, coral-ringed island off the south coast of Stone Town, Chumbe is the site of one of Zanzibar's most ambitious—and successful—conservation projects. The island and its surrounding reefs were designated as a marine sanctuary in 1994 to preserve an incredible variety of marine life, including more than 350 species of fish. The virgin coral-rag forest is busy with birds and other tiny critters; keep your eyes peeled for giant coconut crabs scuttling up the tree trunks. While mostly uninhabited, Chumbe holds some interesting ruins of past inhabitants—including a small mosque and still-functioning lighthouse, both dating from the early 1900s. You can stay on the island at Chumbe Island Coral Park, a luxe eco-lodge, or take a day trip from Stone Town through One Ocean Dive Center's snorkeling tours (255-24-223-8374; www.zanzibaroneocean.com).

Morrison remarks fallout hits NSW politics
PUBLISHED: 18 Feb 2011 14:41:37 | UPDATED: 19 Feb 2011 05:05:44PRINT EDITION: 18 Feb 2011
The NSW government has called on Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell to spell out where he stands on the issue of multiculturalism as the fallout from comments made by a senior federal Liberal continues.
NSW Community Services Minister Linda Burney said Mr O'Farrell should make his position clear after federal Liberal immigration spokesman Scott Morrison this week was forced to apologise for his remarks.
Mr Morrison had questioned whether taxpayers should foot the bill for flying 22 refugee family members from Christmas Island to Sydney for the funerals of loved ones on Tuesday.
Mr Morrison also had to deny reports that he had urged shadow cabinet to capitalise on the electorate's concerns about Muslim immigration.
Ms Burney on Friday called on Mr O'Farrell to ban Mr Morrison from attending the launch of the NSW Liberals election campaign on Sunday at Penrith in Sydney's west.
Mr O'Farrell did not respond directly to the call, but Mr Morrison won't be attending the launch due to prior commitments.
Ms Burney, who holds the western Sydney seat of Canterbury, which has a large migrant population, said Mr Morrison's comments this week were "frightening" and "unacceptable".
"I'm saying that Barry and his team need to not roll themselves up into a little ball over this one but be very clear about where they stand in terms of multiculturalism in Australia but also where they stand in terms of tolerance," said Ms Burney, who is NSW's first indigenous MP.
"I feel really strongly about this . . . as someone who has spent her entire life – remember that I have been at the end of racism myself – working for a respectful community in this country.
"I want to see that anyone that is holding themselves out, in terms of a leadership position in this state and in this country, to come out and say 'this is where we stand'."
She denied she was trying to make racism a state election issue.
"I don't divide it up as a state or federal issue, it's a nonsense to do that," she told AAP in her western Sydney electorate of Canterbury on Friday.
Ms Burney's calls were echoed by Premier Kristina Keneally, who said Mr O'Farrell needed to respond to Mr Morrison's comments.
"Mr O'Farrell is part of the Liberal party and it would be interesting for him to at least provide some comment on what one of his colleagues has said and done," she told told reporters while campaigning in Sydney's south-west.
Mr O'Farrell's office said it wouldn't respond, pointing out that Mr Morrison was never going to attend the campaign launch because he had prior engagements.
While federal leader Tony Abbott will be at the launch, the event would be largely attended by current and former state liberal MPs, the Liberal Party said.
