Cruise Review MSC Splendida
We had done a cruise with Holland America last year this time since it was December and options were limited we went with MSC
Ship Speledida lives up to its name its absolutely "Splendid"
The activities in comparison were very limited 1 activity at each hour no choices
The Service left a lot to be desired as the Italian staff were always walking with swollen faces
The cabin was fantastic hygiene levels on ship excellent
Dining had limited choices and same Menu for breakfast everyday and same Menu for lunch everyday.
Food was pasta inclined on a ship whose occupancy was mostly Asians/American and v few Europeans in comparison we never got any other food than "Italaian"
Children activities were Ok
Library was pathetic
The Entertainment was average
The disembarkation not v well arranged
if you have traveled before on other cruise liners you may end up making comparisons like we did and will More be a tad bit disappointed however its great value for money ,ship is beautiful and rooms excellent. Less

How amazing would this be: You're chilling at home, whip out your smartphone, and call up your favourite playlist, instantly filling the room with rich, clear audio coming from a small speaker sitting on a table nearby. Even more amazing, you can bring this speaker with you wherever you go and enjoy the same wireless, convenient listening experience while you're hanging out with your friends. The Pioneer SMA line of wireless speakers make all of this happen. The A1, A3, and A4 speakers are packed with state-of-the-art wireless technology and top-end audio components, wrapped in a stylish, minimalist design that'll look great pretty much anywhere. What's new. Wire-less, enjoy more. In the age of smartphones and tablets, wireless convenience is everything. The Pioneer SMA speakers are packed with the latest wireless technologies so you can enjoy stellar sound without cords to tie you down. With wireless connectivity, there's no need to worry about whether your device has the right port or connector, like when you want to share your playlist at a party and you discover that your iPhone 5 can't plug into your friend's iPod dock because it has a different port. The SMA speakers will work any smartphone, tablet, PC, or Mac computer. AirPlay compatibility right out of the box allows the SMA speakers to stream music from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iTunes-equipped Mac or PC computer through your home's Wi-Fi network. You can access playback and volume controls through your iDevice, so you won't even have to get off the couch to dial up the tunes you're in the mood for. HTC One series smartphone owners will love the fact that the SMA speakers are compatible with HTC Connect, a service that's built right into the HTC One phones. Similar to AirPlay, all you have to do is call up the song you want, hit play, and enjoy. DLNA is a wireless standard that's built into many devices, like smartphones, stereo systems, TVs, and more. The SMA speakers are DLNA 1.5 certified, so they can wirelessly connect with these DLNA-equipped devices and stream your music. It doesn't get much easier. Wi-Fi? Here's why. The SMA A1, A3, and A4 speakers all use the Wi-Fi wireless standard to stream your music, as opposed to the Bluetooth technology employed in some other products. Wi-Fi has higher bandwidth capacities so it can carry more data, which translates into better overall audio quality. Also, Wi-Fi has a longer range than Bluetooth and tends to transmit better through solid objects like walls or furniture, so you can use an SMA speaker pretty much anywhere in your home. Pick up multiple SMA speakers and you can create a multi-room audio system so the fun doesn't have to stop just because you've walked into another room. No Wi-Fi available? No problem, the SMA line has you covered. These speakers use Pioneer's exclusive Wireless Direct technology to generate their own Wi-Fi access point, so you can still wirelessly stream music from your smartphone to the speaker without having to set up a Wi-Fi network. Give your ears some love. Okay, we've established that the SMA line of speakers has amazing wireless convenience. The other part of the equation is amazing sound quality, and the A1, A3, and A4 have that in spades. All of the SMA speakers have 2-way speakers and a front bass-reflex port, while the A4 kicks it up a notch with an additional 4" subwoofer for deep, bone-rattling bass. The sound tuning and driver design were created by Pioneer Chief Speaker Engineer Andrew Jones, resulting in a clear, natural, and incredibly authentic sound experience. Your ears will love you for it. You like to play outside. So does your music. The A3 speaker features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, covered ports, scratch-resistant matte finish, and water-resistant design (IPX2 rated), so it's the perfect way to broadcast your tunes while you're lounging by the pool or enjoying a bonfire on the beach with your buddies. Plug in and power up. The SMA speakers come with USB connectivity so if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod is running low on juice, just connect it to the USB port and give your iDevice a power boost to keep the tunes flowing. Why you want it. The only thing better than rocking out to your favourite tunes is doing it with the freedom of wireless technology and awesome audio quality. The Pioneer SMA line of speakers packs the latest wireless standards, superb sound, and versatile portability into a sleek, timeless design. » Shop Pioneer Wireless Speakers.

The Trend Airshield is a lightweight, yet powerful air filtration systems perfect a variety of jobs where you need to protect your eyes, face and lungs from small debris, making it ideal for wood-turning and routing work.
Seasoned woodworkers know how important air filtration can be for your health and this face shield is designed to deliver an excellent level of filtration as well as meet your eye protection needs. Unlike flimsy paper masks this Airsheild has a fan that filters the particles in the air twice, once in the pre-filter and once through the main filter. Allowing it to remove particles down to 0.6 microns, for most woodworkers the air quality can immediately be noticed during projects that produce a lot of dust. The Airshield also grants you greater field of visibility than traditional shop goggles because it wraps around most of your face allowing you to see more of what you are working on and keeping out a greater amount of dust at the same time. This face shield comes with a 4 hour rechargeable battery and its charger. The flip-up visor is mounted on a fully adjustable head band with a soft face shield which ensures positive pressure is maintained within the visor and prevents debris from entering the visor area.

Monday was President's Day, a unified celebration of the lengthy list of the leaders of our great country. Where we once honored President Lincoln and President Washington on their February birthdays, the day evolved into one recognizing all of America's presidents. Monday, the AOL home page quoted some of those leaders' wordsmith-worthy insults of others. It led off with these words: 'If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all ... unless you're a president with an amazing ability to hide an insult in eloquent language.'

With last Saturday's weather forecasts nearing 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms, Havana's merchants had the difficult task of making decisions about its Havana Holiday Festival & Lawn Mower Parade, scheduled for that day. [Full Story »]

Havana Merchants Association (HMA) president Jim Kellum raised an idea a couple of weeks ago … why not take boards of plywood and paint them like Christmas cards, and line them down Havana's streets filled with shops, calling it Christmas Card Lane? Oh, this was not an original idea … HMA members had tried a similar initiative some 15 or more years ago, and got four or five cards painted to line down US 27, but they were up for only a few days and then put away, not to be brought out again.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday that is normally spent with friends and family; a day dedicated to offering gratitude for all of our blessings, and a day of fine dining (or over-dining, sometimes), random sports or movies of choice. [Full Story »]

I woke up last Friday morning thinking, 'If I see one more orange pumpkin, scarecrow, harvest scene, bat or anything else that screams, Fall! or Halloween!, I'm gonna scream myself!' Therein lies the problem with the retail world. My husband and I own an antiques shop and we get into the swing of things by retail seasons, not those calendar-mandated. Somehow, Thanksgiving sort of gets lost in the shuffle from the Fall events to the Christmas shopping season. The Thanksgiving holiday is one of the few days most Havana merchants are closed for the day, and it therefore becomes very much a family- and friend-oriented day for us.

Pros: Good build quality, looks good, energy efficient
"Usual Bosch engineering, heavy door, all very solid and looks fine.
Preheating very fast. Microwave easy to use with the separate power buttons. Easy to use when you think how many things it does. Needs some practice to get the best out of it. The conventional oven uses far less electricity then a normal oven due to smaller size and much better insulation.
By my reckoning about half the energy. Size is only a problem if you have a major party. Even a large roast fits into it no problem. Have done 4 Pizza's at the same time no bother. No turntable = great as no cleaning / breaking risk. My daughter's baking has improved immensely with this as heating much more even and predictable. Cooling Fan bit noisy afterwards but only takes a few minutes."

OH Katelyn Steffan
Oct. 3, 2011
By Danielle Minch
Athletic Media Relations
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo--Katelyn Steffan had the weekend of her career, and in result, was honored with the Co-Mountain West Player of the Week award, the conference announced Monday.
Steffan, a 6-4 senior from Dickinson, N.D., led CSU to a 2-0 record last week, maintaining first place in the conference standings after recording 46 kills in two matches. She began the week by setting a career high with 28 kills, shattering her previous high (21) in a 3-2 win over UNLV in Las Vegas on Thursday. At the time, the kills mark was the most by a MW player this season. She also had two blocks, five digs and an assist in the match. Steffan followed up that performance with 18 kills and five blocks in a 3-1 win at San Diego State on Sunday. She also had three assists, two aces and six digs in the televised match from San Diego.
For the week, Steffan averaged 5.11 kills, 0.78 blocks, 1.22 digs and 0.44 assists per set, while hitting .400. She averaged 5.72 points per set over nine total sets.
Head coach Tom Hilbert was impressed by Steffan's play.
"Kate was the sole reason we won the match," Hilbert said after CSU's five-set thriller on Thursday. "That was the best I've ever seen her play."
The award was Steffan's second of her career, with the first MW Player of the Week honor coming on Sept. 15, 2008, Steffan's freshman season.
Steffan shared this week's honor with New Mexico senior Ashley Rhoades.

So I was following THIS tutorial on installing Alfresco with CAS and during step 3, it states that one of my certificate's subjects must match the external DNS name of my server. While this might seem like kind of a newbie question, I am using Oracle Linux 6 and I'm not entirely sure how I find the external DNS name of my server. I tried
cat /etc/resolv.conf and two of the lines of output show:
nameserver XXX.X.XX.XXX
nameserver XXX.XX.XX.XXX
I'm just not sure if either of those are what I'm supposed to be using/looking for, or if I should be using another command entirely? Any thoughts/help?

"We just sent out our Birth Announcements and we are very happy with them. Tiny Prints was easy to use and we were very pleased with the quality and design of the cards. I would recommend."
"The card as a whole is beautiful with rich colors printed on thick, high-quality cardstock. However, my pictures came out much darker than they previewed, so some lighting effects in the photos were lost. I'm not sure if they would've looked better on photo paper instead."

This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a lightweight foamed metal, particularly a particle stabilized foamed aluminum.
Lightweight foamed metals have high strength-to-weight ratios and are extremely useful as load-bearing materials and as thermal insulators. Metallic foams are characterized by high impact energy absorption capacity, low thermal conductivity, good electrical conductivity and high absorptive acoustic properties.
Foamed metals have been described previously, e.g. in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,895,819, 3,300,296 and 3,297,431. In general such foams are produced by adding a gas-evolving compound to a molten metal. The gas evolves to expand and foam the molten metal. After foaming, the resulting body is cooled to solidify the foamed mass thereby forming a foamed metal solid. The gas-forming compound can be metal hydride, such as titanium hydride, zirconium hydride, lithium hydride, etc. as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,983,597.
Previously known metal foaming methods have required a restricted foaming temperature range and processing time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved metal foaming method in which it is not necessary to add a gas-evolving compound nor to conduct the foaming in the restricted melt temperature range and restricted processing time.
According to the process of this invention, a composite of a metal matrix and finely divided solid stabilizer particles is heated above the liquidus temperature of the metal matrix. Gas is introduced into the the molten metal composite below the surface of the composite to form bubbles therein. These bubbles float to the top surface of the composite to produce on the surface a closed cell foam. This foamed melt is then cooled below the solidus temperature of the melt to form a foamed metal product having a plurality of closed cells and the stabilizer particles dispersed within the metal matrix.
The foam which forms on the surface of the molten metal composite is a stabilized liquid foam. Because of the excellent stability of this liquid foam, it is easily drawn off to solidify. Thus, it can be drawn off in a continuous manner to thereby continuously cast a solid foam slab of desired cross-section. Alternatively, it can simply be collected and cast into a wide variety of useful shapes.
The success of this foaming method is highly dependent upon the nature and amount of the finely divided solid refractory stabilizer particles. A variety of such refractory materials may be used which are particulate and which are capable of being incorporated in and distributed through the metal matrix and which at least substantially maintain their integrity as incorporated rather than losing their form or identity by dissolution in or chemical combination with the metal.
Examples of suitable solid stabilizer materials include alumina, titanium diboride, zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, etc. The volume fraction of particles in the foam is typically less than 25% and is preferably in the range of about 5 to 15%. The particle sizes can range quite widely, e.g. from about 0.1 to 100 μm, but generally particle sizes will be in the range of about 0.5 to 25 μm with a particle size range of about 1 to 20 μm being preferred.
The particles are preferably substantially equiaxial. Thus, they preferably have an aspect ratio (ratio of maximum length to maximum cross-sectional dimension) of no more than 2:1. There is also a relationship between particle sizes and the volume fraction that can be used, with the preferred volume fraction increasing with increasing particle sizes. If the particle sizes are too small, mixing becomes very difficult, while if the particles are too large, particle settling becomes a significant problem. If the volume fraction of particles is too low, the foam stability is then too weak and if the particle volume fraction is too high, the viscosity becomes too high.
The metal matrix may consist of any metal which is capable of being foamed. Examples of these include aluminum, steel, zinc, lead, nickel, magnesium, copper and alloys thereof.
The foam-forming gas may be selected from the group consisting of air, carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, inert gases, etc. Because of its ready availability, air is usually preferred. The gas can be injected into the molten metal composite by a variety of means which provide sufficient gas discharge pressure, flow and distribution to cause the formation of a foam on the surface of the molten composite. It has been found that the cell size of the foam can be controlled by adjusting the gas flow rate, the impeller design and the speed of rotation of the impeller, where used.
In forming the foam according to this invention, the majority of the stabilizer particles adhere to the gas-liquid interface of the foam. This occurs because the total surface energy of this state is lower than the surface energy of the separate liquid-vapour and liquid-solid state. The presence of the particles on the bubbles tends to stabilize the froth formed on the liquid surface. It is believed that this may happen because the drainage of the liquid metal between the bubbles in the froth is restricted by the layer of solids at the liquid-vapour interfaces. The result is a liquid metal foam which is not only stable, but also one having uniform pore sizes throughout the foam body since the bubbles tend not to collapse or coalesce.
Methods and apparatus for performing the present invention will now be more particularly described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates schematically a first form of apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention;
FIG. 2 illustrates schematically a second apparatus for carrying out the invention;
FIG. 3 is a plot showing the particle size and volume fraction range over which foam can be easily produced, and
FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of a detail of foam cell walls produced by the invention.
A preferred apparatus of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 includes a heat resistant vessel having a bottom wall 10, a first end wall 11, a second end wall 12 and side walls (not shown). The end wall 12 includes an overflow spout 13. A divider wall 14 also extends across between the side walls to form a foaming chamber located between wall 14 and overflow spout 13. A rotatable air injection shaft 15 extends down into the vessel at an angle, preferably of 30�-45� to the horizontal, and can be rotated by a motor (not shown). This air injection shaft 15 includes a hollow core 16 for injecting air and outlet nozzles 17 at the lower end for discharging air into the molten metal composite 20 contained in the vessel. Air bubbles 21 are produced at the outlet of each nozzle and these bubbles float to the surface of the composite in the foaming chamber to produce a closed cell foam 22.
This closed cell foam in the above manner continuously forms and flows out of the foaming chamber over the foam spout 13. Additional molten metal composite 19 can be added to the chamber either continuously or periodically as required to replenish the level of the composite in the chamber. In this manner, the system is capable of operating continuously.
The cell size of the foam being formed is controlled by adjusting the air flow rate, the number of nozzles, the nozzle size, the nozzle shape and the impeller rotational speed.
The system shown in FIG. 2 is designed to produce an aluminum foam slab with a smooth-as-cast bottom surface. This includes the same foam forming system as described in FIG. 1, but has connected thereto adjacent the foam spout 13 an upwardly inclined casting table 25 on which is carried a flexible, heat resistant, e.g. glass cloth, strip 26. This glass cloth strip is advanced by means of pulley 27 and picks up the foamed metal exiting over the foam spout 13. The speed of travel of the strip 26 is controlled to maintain a constant foam slab thickness.
If desired, the slab may also be provided with a smooth-as-cast top surface by providing a top constraining surface during casting of the slab.
Using the system described in FIG. 1, about 70 lbs. of aluminum alloy A356 containing 15 vol. % SiC particulate was melted in a crucible furnace and kept at 750� C. The molten composite was poured into the foaming apparatus of FIG. 1 and when the molten metal level was about 2 inches below the foam spout, the air injection shaft was rotated and compressed air was introduced into the melt. The shaft rotation was varied in the range of 0-1,000 RPM and the air pressure was controlled in the range 2-15 psi. The melt temperature was 710�C. at the start and 650�C. at the end of the run. A layer of foam started to build up on the melt surface and overflowed over the foam spout. The operation was continued for 20 minutes by filling the apparatus continuously with molten composite. The foam produced was collected in a vessel and solidified in air. It was found that during air cooling, virtually no cells collapsed.
Examination of the product showed that the pore size was uniform throughout the foam body. A schematic illustration of a cut through a typical cell wall is shown in FIG. 4 with a metal matrix 30 and a plurality of stabilizer particles 31 concentrated along the cell faces. Typical properties of the foams obtained are shown in Table 1 below:
TABLE 1______________________________________ Bulk Density (g/cc)Property 0.25 0.15 0.05______________________________________Average cell size (mm) 6 9 25Average Cell Wall Thickness (μm) 75 50 50Elastic Modulus (MPa) 157 65 5.5Compressive Stress* (MPa) 2.88 1.17 0.08Energy Absorption 1.07 0.47 0.03Capacity* (MJ/m3)Peak Energy Absorbing 40 41 34Efficiency (%)______________________________________ *a 50% reduction in height
This test utilized the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 and the composite used was aluminum alloy A356 containing 10 vol. % Al2 O3. The metal was maintained at a temperature of 650�-700�C. and the air injector was rotated at a speed of 1,000 RPM. Foam overflow was then collected on a moving glass-cloth strip. The glass cloth was moved at a casting speed of 3 cm/sec.
A slab of approximately rectangular cross-section (8 cm�20 cm) was made. A solid bottom layer having a thickness of about 1-2 mm was formed in the foam.

Dow index reaches new high as U.S. recovers
NEW YORK -- The stock market is back.
Five-and-a-half years after the start of a frightening drop that erased $11 trillion from stock portfolios and made investors despair of ever getting their money back, the Dow Jones industrial average has regained all the losses suffered during the Great Recession and reached a new high.
The blue-chip index rose 125.95 points Tuesday and closed at 14,253.77, topping the previous record of 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007, by 89.24 points.
"It signals that things are getting back to normal," says Nicolas Colas, chief market strategist at BNY ConvergEx, a brokerage. "Unemployment is too high, economic growth too sluggish, but stocks are anticipating improvement."
The new record suggests investors who did not panic and sell their stocks in the 2008-09 financial crisis have fully recovered. Those who have reinvested dividends or added to their holdings have done even better. Since bottoming at 6,547.05 on March 9, 2009, the Dow has risen 7,706.72 points or 118 per cent. The Dow record does not include the impact of inflation. Adjusted for that, the Dow would have to reach 15,502 to match its old record.
The Standard and Poor's 500, a broader index, closed at 1,539.79, 25.36 points from its record. The last time the Dow was this high, George W. Bush still had another year as president, Apple had just sold its first iPhone, and Lehman Brothers was still in business.
But unemployment was also 4.7 per cent versus 7.9 per cent today, a reminder stock gains have proved no elixir for the economy.
Still, the Dow high is another sign the U.S. is slowly healing after the worst recession since the 1930s. It comes as car sales are at a five-year high, home prices are rising, and U.S. companies continue to report big profits.
The stock gains have helped retirement and brokerage accounts held by many Americans recover. That, in turn, has helped push U.S. household wealth nearly back to its peak before the recession, though many in the middle class are still deep in the hole. Most middle-class wealth is tied up in home values, which are still a third below their peak.
Good economic news Tuesday helped lift stocks. Retail sales in the 17 European countries that use the euro rose faster than expected, China's government said it would support ambitious growth targets, and a report showed U.S. service companies grew last month at their fastest pace in a year.
Dow records are dismissed by some investors as unimportant because the index comprises just 30 stocks. Many professional investors prefer to follow the S&P 500, which, as the name implies, tracks 500 companies. But the Dow has closely followed the ups and downs of its broader rival over the years and is a good proxy for how big companies are doing.
The S&P 500 is up 128 per cent from its March 9, 2009 low, about the same as the Dow. The question now: Can the stock rally continue? Here are four reasons it could:
-- Plenty of cash: Companies have enough money to keep buying shares, which can push stocks up in the short term. Companies in the S&P 500 had more than $1 trillion in cash late last year, two-thirds more than in 2007.
-- Low inflation and interest rates: Inflation has been 1.6 per cent the past 12 months, below the Fed's two per cent target. Interest rates are near record lows; the short-term rate the Fed controls is being kept between zero and 0.25 per cent. The Fed has said it plans to keep the rate where it is until unemployment falls below 6.5 per cent, or 1.4 points lower than it is today.
-- Economic expansion: The economic expansion that began 44 months ago in June 2009 is still relatively young. The previous three expansions lasted 73, 120 and 92 months. And this one may finally be getting traction: Sales of new homes in January hit the highest rate in 41/2 years. Home prices in January were up nearly 10 per cent nationwide from a year earlier. And sales of autos, the second-biggest consumer purchase, reached a five-year high. Most important, hiring is picking up.
-- Stocks still seem reasonably priced based on the earnings that companies are generating. On average, stock prices are 17 times per-share earnings in 2012 versus 19.4 times in 2007. Today's price-earnings ratio is about the same as the average since the Second World War.

and no doubt, Obama got a bad situtation even though not from Bush.Whomever you blame prior to 2009, does not matter.Does anyone not think the economy would be better with a leader experienced in business? Does any serious person believe if we had a leader who had been wise enough to wait to impose new monstrous bureaucratic uncertainties on a weakened economy, things would remain this bad?Obama said give his experient three years, it failed, only a fool would grant more time to a failure.Time is up.
Ask Paul Ryan if he is better off today than 4 years ago. Under Pres Obama his net worth increased by about 200k, from 2004-2008 his net worth only increased by about 100k, as for Mitt we don't know what he was worth.
well said. liberals are too stupid for words. all they want to know is:1) when will my next check from the gov't arrive.2) who is on dancing with the stars this season?these people are all takers.
""The government does not give anything it does not first take, while skimming some for the bureaucrats.""Rephrasing your stupid little quote does not impact the result.I did not say otherwise, do you have a point???????
does anyone think that the economy is the only consideration.
