I searched for answers and found this web site. When I first read this topic at the beginning I started to become convinced that I might be alcoholic. Now as I read through the rest of it I'm not so convinced.Here is my problem. I drink too much when I drink. My friends have said I could be alcoholic and to check it out. If the first step is the description of an alcoholic and it means my life has to be unmanageable to be an alcoholic I'm not alcoholic. I'm young. I was on honor society in HS. I'm top of my class in college. I'm a successful athlete in sports competition. I have good parents and my family is well adjusted. I grew up in church and have morals and ethics. I haven't missed one day of school since grade school. I work two part time jobs. One job I am manager. I get frequent raises and praises for my work. I have never missed one day of work. I have never been in a bad relationship. I am honest. I don't steal or cheat. I have never been in trouble or had to go to court or to jail. I am happy and I take care of myself. I have many good friends. I have asked my pastor and my parents and my friends if they think my life is unmanageable. They are shocked that I asked them that question. They agree on no being the answer. That means that according to some of the things I have read here that I must not be alcoholic. I do drink too much when I drink. It happens everytime I drink. I go to clubs and parties with my friends and they drink. I intend to only drink one drink but I drink until I throw up or pass out. Can someone here help me to find the answer? Can I still be alcoholic if my life is not unmanageable or not?

Macoupin County Courthouse
The Macoupin County Courthouse, built in 1870, used to be the largest county courthouse in the United States, with the possible exception of one in New York City. It was even larger than the Illinois Statehouse. While the courthouse still serves as the seat of county government, it has also become a showplace that attracts tourists, architects and artists from across the country, as well as overseas.
Carlinville Historic District
The Historic District includes the Macoupin County Jail, Million Dollar Courthouse, and the largest collection of Sears & Roebuck mail-order homes in the U.S.
Macoupin County Jail
The historic 1869 Macoupin County Jail was designed by E.E. Meyers. It was built using the "cannon ball" method which prevented jail breaks by making it nearly impossible to remove the blocks. This unique medieval-inspired fortress housed many lawbreakers during its 119 years of use, but only one prisoner escaped. He was soon apprehended a few blocks from the jail.
Macoupin County Historical Society Museum
The Macoupin County Historical Society Museum is housed in the John Anderson mansion, originally built in 1883. The main house is a museum with exhibits that chronicle the development of Macoupin County and its citizens. In addition to the mansion, several other buildings on the grounds emphasize the county's history: a one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, church, wash house, granary and herb garden.
Blackburn College
One of the oldest colleges in Illinois, founded in 1837. Blackburn is also one of only seven colleges in the U.S. where students work in exchange for tuition credit, and the only one whose Work program is student-run. This keeps Blackburn's tuition among the lowest of all private colleges in the United States. Over the years, students have literally built Blackburn, brick by brick; the only college campus in the United States to be largely built by its students.

The Ariston Cafe was founded by Pete Adam, a Greek immigrant, in Carlinville, Illinois in 1924. The original cafe was located on Route 4, the predecessor of Historic Route 66. In 1929, the Cafe was relocated to Litchfield, Illinois and moved into its present location on Route 66 in 1935. Since 1966, Pete's son Nick and wife, Deme, continue to offer the traditional service expected of a family-owned and operated restaurant. The cafe is believed to be one of the oldest restaurants on Route 66 and has been inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame and is placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Livingston Muffler Man
The Livingston-Staunton Muffler Man, in his spiffy orange "Harley-Davidson" shirt, is located outside the Pink Elephant antique mall. He's clearly visible from I-55 now, but looks so tiny in the middle of a field with nothing for reference. You can see him and many other "Muffler Men" along the historic route.

SCAR Blades Invader Fixed 4-3/8" Black Blade, Black Micarta Handles, Kydex Sheath - SCAR031
Part Number: | SCAR031 |
Manufacturer: | SCAR Blades |
SCAR031: Invader
SCAR Blades
SCAR Blades Invader Black. 9 1/2" overall. 4 3/8" black finish blade. Full tang. Black handle. Black sheath. Weight: 9.2 oz.
SCAR Blades are custom hand built knives produced in the U.S.A. They are designed to be used as rugged tools to assist military, law enforcement, and avid outdoorsmen to survive in the field, even in the most harsh conditions. Most SCAR Blades knives are full tang and are made from 3/16" thick 1095 high carbon alloy, which is heat treated for hardness only along the sharpened edge - creating a RC hardness of 58, while leaving the spine of the blade softer to absorb the stresses of high impact chopping. Blades have a powder coated finish and come with a non-slip phenolic handle to ensure a sure grip. Sheaths are individually made using Kydex, which is tightly formed around each individual knife for a secure fit. The sheaths are equipped with either a rotating belt loop allowing the sheath to swivel 360 degrees, moving with the user or a stationary loop for added strength and security. Multi-attachment holes are located around the sheath, to allow the knife to be adjusted and placed anywhere the user requires.
An excellent hard use steel, 1095 is a primary choice for camping and larger fixed blade knives for it's extreme toughness and ability to hold an edge. Corrosion resistance is very limited with this steel, most blades come with a coating to prevent premature rusting.
Waterproof, scratch resistant, and low friction. It will hold its shape and makes a great alternative to leather.
This product is USA born and raised.
Similar to G10, Micarta is a a compressed layered composite which instead of using fiberglass, uses fiber compounds of any type of create a strong, attractive material that is impervious to water.

Kidney Disease Research Updates
Winter 2013
FHN Trial Group Finds Frequent Hemodialysis Promotes Heart Health
Additional Studies Have Mixed Results on Physical Performance
Most patients on hemodialysis have a standard schedule of three sessions a week for 3 to 5 hours each session. While this schedule keeps patients alive, many still have serious health problems related to their kidney failure, such as heart disease. And the mortality rate for patients on hemodialysis is high. The Frequent Hemodialysis Network (FHN) Trial Group was formed in 2005 to explore whether alternative schedules with more frequent hemodialysis sessions would reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with hemodialysis.
Supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the FHN Trial Group developed two separate trials. In the Daily Trial, one group of participants received hemodialysis six times a week for 1.5 to 2.75 hours a session while another group received the standard three sessions a week. In the Nocturnal Trial, one group of participants received dialysis for 6 to 8 hours overnight for six nights a week while, again, the other group received the conventional hemodialysis treatment.
Results of the two trials are now being reported in a wide range of medical journals. The journal articles focus on many different aspects of frequent hemodialysis, including its effect on physical performance, body composition, and blood pressure control. One significant article deals with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Frequent Hemodialysis and LVM
Christopher Chan, M.D., of the University Health Network, Ontario, Canada, led a group that examined the effect of frequent hemodialysis on left ventricular mass (LVM). Enlargement of muscles in the left ventricle, one of the heart's pumping chambers, is a sign of heart disease. In the March 2012 issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Dr. Chan and colleagues reported that participants receiving daily hemodialysis had a significant reduction in LVM, and those who already had the greatest LVM at baseline received the greatest benefit. Participants receiving long, overnight hemodialysis did not achieve a statistically significant LVM reduction, although the results trended in that direction. Participants receiving conventional hemodialysis saw no LVM benefit.
Dr. Chan and colleagues looked at other clinical factors that may have contributed to the beneficial effect of daily hemodialysis, including volume removal, blood pressure, and solute clearance. Changes in LVM were associated most closely with changes in blood pressure and were not significantly associated with the other clinical factors. Dr. Chan and colleagues concluded that frequent hemodialysis reduces LVM, possibly with the help of improved blood pressure control.
Additional Studies
In additional studies, the FHN Trial Group found that more frequent hemodialysis did not have significant effects on measures of nutritional status or objective measures of physical performance, although participants reported that they perceived an improvement in their performance. Additional benefits included better phosphorus and blood pressure control. Researchers also found that participants who received daily or nocturnal hemodialysis had more problems with their vascular access, the modified blood vessel where needles are inserted for dialysis.
With these mixed results, researchers have concluded that more frequent hemodialysis could be of benefit to some people.

Hi: 14° Lo:6°
THE IRISH dancing choreographer billed as the Michael Flatley of his generation will be bringing his fellow star dancers along as they complete the Birmingham leg of their national tour.
It will be the first time Midlands fans have had the chance to see the completely new show which has been thought up by Prodijig leader Alan Kenefick and is described as a love story set between two worlds.
The group - who all previously danced in Riverdance - found fame after winning talent show Got To Dance earlier this year, having wowed judges Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Banjo and Adam Garcia with their unique style - which sees them dance to modern music including Chris Brown and Kanye West and, unlike traditional Irish dancing, using their arms.
Since the show aired, they have been invited to perform around the world in front of dignitaries such as the Queen and the President of Ireland, working with celebrities including Mariah Carey and Westlife.
The original seven dancers, who have all won major international championships, has now expanded to a group of almost 20 who will take to the biggest stages across the UK for the tour.
Speaking to the Standard, Alan said the show was a 'whole new style' for them and had involved rehearsing for months to perfect the moves which are backed by original orchestral music created just for Prodijig.
"We are doing something with Irish dancing which has never been done before. We use our arms so we can really express ourselves.
"We can't wait to open up the show and can't wait for everyone to see how much detail there is in there and how far we have come. On Got To Dance they saw one and a half minutes, here they will have one and a half hours of the dancing.
"I want it to be like watching a movie unfolding in front of you. I'd like the show to really be a moment in time for Irish dancing and hopefully it will stay around and not just be a one-time thing. Hopefully it will expand as it goes on."
Speaking about the comparisons with Michael Flatley, Alan added: "It is humbling and incredible because he is the only superstar of Irish dance ever. I'm hoping what we do is completely different with original choreography but for anyone to compare me to him is amazing."
Tickets are now available for the Footstorm show, which will appear at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Tuesday, April 14 2013.

We've featured Gunderson and Whole Trees Architecture here on Inhabitat before. The innovative firm uses unmilled tree trunks and branches as structural components of buildings, which is much more efficient than conventional building techniques. Because nature is the best engineer of them all, unmilled trees have the ability to support more than 50 percent more weight than the largest piece of lumber milled from the same tree. Keeping the structure of the tree intact retains the continuous fibers of the wood, which are weakened when timber is cut. It's also much more sustainable, because it enables builders to use upper branches and Y-beams of a tree, instead of just the trunk. The firm uses mostly smaller, local trees, and they tend to favor those that have already fallen instead of cutting down healthy, living trees.
At the Angelic Organics Learning Center, Gunderson and his team used a combination of sustainable building techniques, including passive solar, whole trees, and straw bale construction. The structure is oriented toward the south with a large bank of windows that maximize natural heat and light from the sun in the winter. An eyebrow dormer window was added to the north side of the building to help prevent glare. The exterior envelope of the building is made from straw bale, an energy-efficient and sustainable building material that can be used in almost any climate.

It\'s great that they used those materials, but, I have to say that they really didn\'t do justice to the materials. Skeptics should be shown the beauty potential in straw bale, as well as the functionality. Unfortunately, this project is just plain unattractive.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Tyrann Mathieu looks on during rookie minicamp at the Cardinals training facility on May 10, 2013. / Matt Kartozian, USA TODAY Sports
Tyrann Mathieu signed a deal with the Arizona Cardinals that will provide him a bigger overall payout than his slot as the 69th overall pick in the draft dictated while also protecting the team in case of any drug-related relapses.
Mathieu's agent, Patrick Lawlor, told USA TODAY Sports his client signed a four-year contract worth over $3 million, which is more than $100,000 higher than last year's No. 69 pick (Buffalo Bills wide receiver T.J. Graham) received.
Lawlor said there's no additional language in the contract about money forfeiture due to a positive drug test. Mathieu will be subject to the same contract rules as "anybody else in the league" as determined by the collective bargaining agreement, though Lawlor has said Mathieu verbally agreed to regular drug tests.
The Cardinals, meanwhile, split up the $662,500 guaranteed bonus Mathieu was slated to receive into a $265,000 signing bonus up front and roster bonuses totaling $397,500 throughout the final three years of the contract.
That structure, as opposed to the full signing bonus most draft picks receive, allows the Cardinals to save money if Mathieu has any personal or drug-related issues throughout the course of the deal.
As long as Mathieu is a solid citizen, he will receive all of the guaranteed money.
"Tyrann's doing really well and the team is really happy with him so far," Lawlor said. "He's done exceptionally well at the OTAs."
Asked if he is pleased with the compromise in structure he and the Cards achieved, Lawlor replied, "Absolutely. We went at it, talking to them the last three weeks. We had great discussions with (general manager) Steve Keim and (director of football operations) Mike Disner. Mike did well, and we all understood this is a great player who is better than the average third-round pick.
"They had needs and so did we and there's a deal in place all sides are happy with."

Before You Go There are bound to be questions when travelling. Information on everything from weather to internet connections can be found below. Inclusive Prices Cruise Prices Cruise prices are per person in U.S. dollars. All hotel and cruise ship accommodations, motor coach transportation, port charges, land excursions, admissions, entertainment, sightseeing, special dinners, porterage, and the services of the Tauck Directors, hotel and ship staff, and local guides and drivers are included. Bar & restaurant beverages are included throughout the day aboard ship, including house wine & spirits. Transportation from Tocumen International Airport (located just outside of Panama City) to the InterContinental Miramar Panama in Panama City is included regardless of the time you check in to the hotel, provided we have accurate flight arrival information at least three weeks before the start of the your tour. Transportation from the Real InterContinental Hotel & Club Tower Costa Rica to San José Juan Santamaría International Airport is also included when you check out of the hotel. Transportation to and from airports may be shared with other Tauck guests. Hotel Accommodations The cruise price includes all hotel and cruise ship accommodations. Our standard is to provide the best available accommodations without sacrificing value. Although the quality of accommodations may differ slightly from one hotel to another, our commitment to your comfort is unwavering. Two-bedded rooms are reserved in most hotels. Triples are usually two-bedded rooms plus a rollaway cot and are not recommended for comfort. Your cruise ship accommodates fewer guests than large ocean-going vessels. Your well-appointed cabin includes these amenities: television with DVD player, mini-bar, international direct-dial telephone, safe and hair dryer. On board m/v Tere Moana, staterooms are furnished with two twin beds which may be requested in advance to be placed together to form a queen-size bed. Each room has a private bath with an enclosed shower (no tub). Other ship facilities include the following: elevator, bar, lounge, restaurant, sun deck, spa, pool, hot tub ibrary, and fitness center. Meals Most meals are included as specified in the itinerary. On board m/v Tere Moana, breakfast and lunch are served in the restaurant on the fifth deck; dinner is served in the more formal restaurant on the third deck. International cuisine is featured and complimentary wine is offered with dinner. Both restaurants accommodate all guests in one seating. Complimentary soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea service are available throughout the day. The legal drinking age aboard the cruise ship is 21. Tauck Director The Panama Canal & Costa Rica tour is conducted by one Tauck Director for every 40 Tauck guests (with a maximum total of 90 guests) who remains with the group throughout the tour. Your Tauck Directors are professional, fully trained employees of Tauck. Gratuities Included All appropriate gratuities for Tauck Directors, restaurant, hotel and ship staff, local guides and drivers are included. Luggage Handling and Restrictions Checked Luggage – General Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm). Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences. Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home! Carry-on Luggage - General Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc. For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel. No Options Sold Tauck Directors assist with information on free-time activities based on honest opinion and guidance, but they will not sell you anything. This means better value and a more relaxed and pleasant experience for you. Travel Documents Required If you are a U.S. citizen, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into Panama and Costa Rica. You will not need a visa for the short duration of this tour. Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation. If you are a citizen of another country, you should contact a consulate or embassy of Panama and Costa Rica to determine what travel documentation is required. You will be issued a boarding card, which you must present before embarking the ship in each port. This security measure also ensures that only Tauck guests are permitted onboard. We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen. Note: For activities marked with an asterisk (*) in day-by-day descriptions, participation is at your own risk; a signed liability waiver will be required. Not Included Transportation Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included. Hotel Rooms Before and After Tours To avoid jet lag and possible flight delays, you may wish to make hotel arrangements for the nights preceding or following your tour or cruise. As a service, we will book additional nights for you on a space-available basis using special rates only available through us. Hotel room charges will be added to the tour or cruise cost. Train and airport transfers are included for these extended stays as described above under Inclusive Prices. If you wish to spend additional nights, please consult Extend Your Trip in the Accommodations section on this webpage and discuss it with your reservations sales consultant or your travel agent when you book your tour or cruise. Luggage Responsibility Although every effort is made to handle your luggage carefully, we cannot be responsible, assume liability or accept claims for loss or damage to luggage and personal effects due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, airline and group carrier handling. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities. Please refer to the Tauck Travel Protection Product section on this webpage for more information. Lost luggage is an unfortunate possibility in today's world of airline travel. We suggest that you: Pack at least one change of clothing in your carry-on bag Split your items between your suitcase and a traveling companion's suitcase Do not pack any vital medications or valuables in your checked luggage Confirm that your luggage is checked and tagged to your final destination at airport check-in Place your luggage claim tags in a secure place for your flight File a claim for any missing luggage immediately before leaving the baggage claim area Secure a case number and contact information for follow-up communications Make certain that the airline has your onward itinerary Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses. Personal Expenses Personal Expenses such as phone calls, room service in hotels, alcoholic and other beverages not specifically included, laundry, dry cleaning, airline excess luggage charges, vaccinations, visa fees and services, airport arrival and departure taxes, individual airport transfers (when applicable), and other optional or incidental extras are not included and may be significant. When departing from Costa Rica on an international flight, you will be required to pay a departure tax. The departure tax may be purchased at the Real InterContinental for a small fee, which will permit you to avoid the line at the airport. Although you can pay the airport departure tax with a credit card, it is charged as a cash advance. Most credit card companies charge a high fee for this type of transaction and begin charging interest on it immediately. It is best to pay the airport tax in cash, either US dollars or CR colones. Preparing to Go Journey Start and End Times Journey start and end times are provided at time of booking. The tour begins with your transfer from Tocumen International Airport to the InterContinental Miramar in Panama City on the first day of the tour where the tour starts at 6:30 PM. You or your booking agent will be advised of any change to this schedule. When making flight arrangements, please allow sufficient time to claim luggage and clear customs in order to join the cruise on time. We will provide transportation from the Real InterContinental Hotel and Club Tower Costa Rica to the San José Juan Santamaría International Airport on the day of your departure; your tour ends at the Real InterContinental Hotel & Club Tower Costa Rica. Each carrier and each airport has different rules regarding how early you must arrive for flight check in. Please contact your individual carrier for this information. Itinerary Changes and Price Flexibility We pledge to make every effort to operate all tours as advertised. We reserve the right to alter or curtail the itinerary, or substitute sightseeing, hotels, and/or conveyances as deemed necessary. Any savings realized by these changes will be refunded to you. Any resultant added expense will be covered by us. Although not expected, prices on this website may be modified due to unexpected significant external factors not forecast at the time of publication. Holiday and Museum Closures Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances or the many state, religious and civic holidays locally observed.You may wish to log on to Wikipedia to view a list of holidays by country by clicking here. Photography On Tour Occasionally, we will use photographs and/or video taken by fellow guests or your Tauck Director on your cruise for print, Internet and other media promotional purposes. If you prefer that your image not be used in any marketing activities, please notify your Tauck Director at the start of your tour. Membership Membership will be granted to all persons. We reserve the right to terminate the tour of any persons who are abusive of others or whose behavior disrupts the tour. ATM and Credit Cards We recommend that you contact your bank in advance of departing on your journey to determine whether you will be able to use your ATM and credit cards while traveling. When contacting your bank, notify them of your travel dates so that they will anticipate charges being made outside of your hometown and do not suspend your cards for what may appear to them to be "suspicious" charges. We also recommend that you make a photocopy of the front and back of your ATM and credit cards to leave behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your cards are misplaced, lost or stolen. Cell Phone Usage We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone during motor coach travel, group functions, when sightseeing and when the Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There are usually ample opportunities to make or receive calls at times when it does not affect others. Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine limitations and services that exist in your destination. Health and Activity To enjoy this cruise, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven, rocky and sandy terrain, as our activities include visiting national parks, biological reserves, rainforests and rustic villages. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. Additionally, you must be steady and balanced aboard ship while you cruise the shores of Panama and Costa Rica. Some ship to shore transportation is by Zodiac (capacity 20 persons) and involves 'wet landings', which requires wading through shallow surf to reach shore. Occasionally you may get wet with spray. m/v Tere Moana has an elevator that connects all decks except the sun deck. m/v Tere Moana has a licensed and registered physician on board for professional and emergency services, which are available at customary charges. The ships' small infirmary is designed to provide medical care for certain temporary illnesses and accidents, and is not intended or capable of providing on-going treatment of preexisting medical conditions. If you require oxygen equipment, please notify Tauck so that special arrangements can be made. PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. On board the ship, only the marina area of deck 3 has been designated as a smoking area. There is no smoking permitted in the interior of the ship or on balconies. These regulations pertain to e-cigarettes as well. m/v Tere Moana is registered in the Bahamas. Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour. If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly. VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Some of the countries visited on this itinerary may require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases in order to enter the country. These requirements are subject to frequent change as outbreaks occur and subside in different areas, and it is therefore crucial that you obtain the very latest information on entry requirements as you prepare for your journey. For the most current information, please consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by clicking here and the World Health Organization (WHO) by clicking here. You may also wish to visit the web sites for the embassies of the countries you will be visiting. Besides providing details on vaccination requirements, these sites can also provide information on vaccinations that may be recommended (but aren't required) and other potential health issues for which no vaccines are available. Any decisions relating to your health, of course, should not be based solely on information provided by a web site. It is critically important that you consult with your personal physician prior to your journey to obtain any required vaccinations and to review any optional recommendations offered by the CDC or other sources. Please be sure to discuss your journey with your physician at least four to six weeks in advance of your departure, as certain vaccinations take time to become fully effective. Also, be certain to ask your physician for proof of any vaccinations you receive, and to pack this proof along with your other travel documents in your carry-on luggage (not in your checked luggage). Researching and complying with vaccination entry requirements for the countries visited on this itinerary is the responsibility of the traveler and not Tauck. Tauck is therefore not responsible for any expenses incurred or disruptions to travel caused by improper or incomplete vaccinations, or by the failure to provide proof of required vaccinations. If you do not obtain the necessary vaccinations and proper documentation, you may be denied entry into one or more countries, or temporarily quarantined until the necessary vaccinations are administered, or until proper documentation is provided. Airline Disinsection The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a guidance letter that requires airlines and travel agents to disclose to consumers countries that require the use of insecticides by airlines. Please click here for more information. Additional Information Cruise Regulations International maritime security guidelines require that your passport information be provided to us prior to your embarkation. You need to provide this information to us as soon as you book your cruise or boarding may be denied. Once you board the ship, your passport will be held by the purser until you disembark. Travel With Children Age Recommendations ― Children 5 years of age or older at the time of travel are welcome on this Tauck journey. Based upon our experience with family travelers, we have a minimum recommended age for each journey to encourage comfort and enjoyment for all of our guests. All children must be accompanied on activities by a parent or guardian. At least one guest in the traveling party must be 21 years of age or older in order to make a reservation. Babysitting ― Our journeys are designed for adults and children to share the wonder of discovery together. If you require babysitting services, your Tauck Director will put you in contact with the appropriate hotel staff with whom you may make babysitting arrangements. There is usually an additional fee for these services. Many hotels do offer on-site babysitting services; however, babysitting services may not be available at all of our hotels. There are no babysitting services available on the cruise ship. Please note that our Tauck Directors are not responsible for providing babysitting services. Safety and Welfare Responsibility ― We welcome the participation of child travelers on our exciting excursions. If you are traveling with a child on a Tauck journey, you have the sole responsibility for ensuring that the child with whom you are traveling follows all rules of safety during the cruise. By traveling with us, you release Tauck, Inc. and our partners of all liability for any risks and/or injuries to the child with whom you are traveling. Special Travel Documentation for Children Authorization for Travel If you travel into or out of the U.S. with children under the age of 18, you should be aware of the following: because of increasing incidents of child abductions in disputed custody cases and because children are at risk as possible victims of child pornography, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that unless the child is accompanied by both parents, you should have a notarized note from the child's other parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with grandparents, uncles or aunts, sisters or brothers, or friends, a note signed by both parents) stating that the parent(s) not traveling acknowledge that the parent(s), family members, etc. who are traveling into or out of the U.S. with the child have permission to do so. While CBP may not ask to see this documentation, if they do ask, and you do not have it, you may be detained until the circumstances of the child traveling without both parents can be fully assessed. If there is no second parent with legal claims to the child (parent deceased, sole custody, etc.), other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, birth certificate naming only one parent, or a death certificate, will be useful. Many other countries also share this concern for children who travel without both parents. To ensure smooth travel, we require you to comply with the travel regulations of each country visited. This information may be obtained from a country's consulate or embassy. Authorization for Emergency Medical Treatment In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, a medical facility will require permission from the child's parents to provide treatment. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you bring along a letter from both parents (including other pertinent documents as cited above) authorizing emergency medical treatment for their child. Children who are U.S. citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion of the journey. We are not responsible for the disruption of travel caused by the improper documentation of any guest, including children traveling without both parents. While there is no definitive format or standard, click here to view a sample letter for guardians or one parent traveling with a child. Airline Security Measures If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport. If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information. For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here. If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport. Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items and recommended airport check-in times. What to Pack Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings (Necessary Gear) who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site. This is a casual tour; bring comfortable cotton shorts, pants and tops. Dress aboard the m/v Tere Moana is relaxed, and shorts and t-shirts are appropriate during the day. Attire in the evening is generally country club casual. Although a jacket and tie are not required for the welcome and farewell dinners, many of our guests like to dress up a bit for these events. Comfortable walking shoes with ankle support are a must, and also important for this journey are reef shoes, aqua socks, Teva sandals or an old pair of sneakers for beach landings because your feet will get wet. Due to tropical conditions you will also need to bring a rain poncho or jacket. Don't forget a swimsuit, and a t-shirt to wear over your swimsuit when snorkeling. Snorkeling equipment is provided free of charge, or you may bring your own. For higher elevations and cool, breezy nights at sea, bring a windbreaker, sweater, or light jacket. Please also note that sundries, toiletries, and medications are difficult to obtain during this itinerary. Consider packing a number of garments you can wear in different combinations over four or five days. Laundry services are available on board m/v Tere Moana. Beyond your normal wardrobe and personal grooming items, we suggest you also bring along: -Comfortable walking shoes (VERY IMPORTANT!) -Reef shoes, Teva sandals and Aqua socks -Rainwear, such as a raincoat and rain hat, plus a collapsible umbrella -Short and long-sleeved shirts/tee shirts (extra tee shirts are always a good idea) -Shorts and pants for casual daytime wear -Sport jacket for men (not required) and slacks/dress for women for evening wear -Lightweight sweater -Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards or plenty of film -Swimwear -Sunglasses -Sunscreen and hat (baseball caps are recommended) -Small flashlight -Insect repellent -Pre-moistened towelettes and/or antibacterial lotion -Backpack for your photographic equipment or other belongings during ship-to- shore transfers -Plastic zip-lock bags to protect cameras and other valuables during ship-to- shore transfers -Binoculars -Travel alarm clock (many hotels do not have clocks in the rooms) -Prescription medicines (an adequate supply to last your entire journey), and written copies of your prescriptions from your doctor. While it may be possible to refill prescriptions during your journey, the availability of refills cannot be guaranteed. What's more, refilling prescriptions in foreign countries can be difficult and time-consuming. We recommend that you pack any prescription medicines (an adequate supply for your entire journey) along with your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag, in order to minimize any inconvenience should your luggage be lost or delayed. We also recommend, for your peace of mind and personal security, that all expensive jewelry and other valuables be left at home. Upon Arrival... Air Conditioning The hotel rooms, ship staterooms and motor coaches are air-conditioned for your comfort. Currency and Exchange Rates The currency in Panama is the U.S. dollar and in Costa Rica, the Colón; however, the U.S. dollar is widely accepted in Costa Rica by hotels and merchants. On board m/v Tere Moana, personal shipboard accounts may be settled by U.S. dollars, American Express, Visa, MasterCard or traveler's checks. There is no foreign exchange facility on the ship.

Certain restrictions apply to unaccompanied goods mailed from abroad to the U.S. Please call your local customs office or consult the U.S. government's customs regulations as contained in their publication entitled Know Before You Go.If you are a resident of another country, please refer to your own country's rules and regulations regarding customs and duty-free shopping to ensure compliance upon your return.Many countries levy Value Added Taxes (VAT) on consumer goods and services. (The tax rate may be higher for luxury items and lower for basic goods.) As a rule, if you are not a resident of the country (or of the country's intergovernmental economic community, e.g., the European Union) in which the purchase is made, you may be entitled to a VAT refund and should inquire about the refund policy where you shop.

The Tauck Difference " This was our first, and we hope many more, Tauck trips. It was everything we had hoped for and more, from the tour directors, the itinerary, the quality of the ship's staff and overall accommodations and food. We are not first time travelers, but this was truly the best. Can't wait for the next one! We discovered new peoples and new worlds on this trip. We developed an appreciation for an environment totally different from home. We learned how "ego-centric" we are. All this amid sailing on a ship which seemed like our own personal yacht!

Google tests a new navigation menu that's more compact and includes fewer services. You need to click an icon that's placed next to the "sign in" button and you can access popular services like Google Maps, YouTube, Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar. For some reason, the menu includes a redundant icon for Google Search even when you're using Google's search engine.
The interface seems to be inspired by Chrome's app launcher, uses less space, but it's not very obvious. It's like a new version of the hidden navigation menu that was launched back in 2011 and removed after a few weeks.
{ Thanks, Maurice. }

I think I slightly threw up.
Phoronix: Miguel de Icaza Calls For More Mono, C# Games
Miguel de Icaza presented this weekend at AltDevConf where he heavily promoted Mono and using C# for game developers...
I think I slightly threw up.
the mono project is a very important and beneficial project for the linux and open source community. but he is marketing it in the same light as java, html, or gtk. as if it is critical or central, or a legitimately useful tool to create with. what he and everyone else needs to realize is that mono is more akin to wine or samba. it is a tool to allow linux (or any other system in a similar disposition) to ingratiate into an otherwise hostile environment. it should be used to allow peoples existing .net code to run on linux or mac or whatever without a complete rewrite. to tell developers to go and make new linux centric applications or games with it is foolish at best.
The CLR doesn't completely do away with memory problems. I monitor VMs running a mission-critical legacy application written in C# that starts off using ~70MB of memory and can bloat out to 1.5GB if it hasn't crashed for some other reason.
Well, given that Miguel Icaza is now earning his living by selling Monotouch and Mono for Android then obviously he will be feverishly pushing for more games being made with Mono/C#.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but one should be aware that his message of how great Mono is for development is directly linked with his way of making money and thus hardly an objective opinion.
Still, despite the performance shortcomings of vm based managed languages like Mono there's certainly a large spectrum of games in which the loss of performance versus that of native code won't matter at all and then Mono/Java will do just as well.
The guy loves his Mono, so I hope he can successfully make a living out of it. Just as long as he stays away from the Linux desktop
What happenend to Java, and Python and Haskell, all of which are better languages for writing a game in and don't require manual memory management?
For that matter, what happened to using C++ in a sane OO way, which makes manual memory management pretty painless in most cases?
What about Vala for games?
The big question in my mind is if C# is the worst language ever, or if its still java, I'm not counting visual basic here just because it was never put out like other languages as the 'language to end all languages'

Vote For TV's Sexiest Cast: Week One (POLL)
Let's be real: One of the main draws of our favorite shows are their sexy leading men and women. Some might say our love of watching beautiful people makes us shallow, but we prefer to think of ourselves as excellent judges of character. And by "character," we naturally mean the attractiveness of a character.
In the spirit of celebrating physical perfection on the small screen, Wetpaint Entertainment wants you to name TV's sexiest cast. We've rounded up the hottest shows on television, and now it's up to you to decide which smokin' ensemble deserves the crown. Each week, the shows will face off, and they'll need your votes to move on to the next round. The last series standing will be awarded the title of TV's Sexiest Cast on Monday, February 4!
Below are the first eight contenders. Vote away, and then come back next Monday to vote on a new batch of beautiful casts!

BradHairNormal HairMy Barber Uses ItI am not one to buy hair care products but everytime I leave the barber shop, my hair always looks awesome. Finally asked what it was they were using to spike up the front and it was this stuff. They sold me a tube for $5 and I use it all the time. Bought more from Folica so I can keep one in my gym bag and another in my travel kit. Even with daily use, one of these things will last at least 6 months, probably a year.posted May 1, 2012Link to this post
RussGreat ProductAbsolute bang for your buck! Not clumpy, and smells good too. I use it for a flat top. Love it very happy, better than its more costly competitors.posted Mar 15, 2010Link to this post
PeterAstounding ResultsMy search was over when I discovered Stix Fix, It beats standard Mustache Wax hands down.All though not specifically designed for my use,No more bushy fly away hair,it's the best I've found yet. only thing I've used now for almost 20 years, it's made me a loyal devoted customer, I now look well groomed. I can't imagine what I would do without this wonderful product. but I know how I despaired before I found itposted Mar 3, 2010Link to this post
FredN.Y.Product Is Not What You Have Pictured!The product I am used to using is the product you have pictured, white cylinder with white cap and red, white & blue lettering and logo. What I received is a gray cylinder with black cap and blue & black lettering and logo. This product is much more firm and is more difficult to apply and does not have the holding power as the product I wanted. I called and asked your salesperson that I was sent the wrong product and she said that was the only one they carried. I am using it but I am not satisfied with the results. I wish I could get the product I am used to using.posted May 11, 2008Link to this post
Ron BettaWindermere, FloridaAwesome Product!I have a high and tight haircut, (nothing but the best for me). I love this stuff...works perfect, smells great...clean, fresh scent.posted Jan 25, 2008Link to this post
MarkTexasHighly RecommendedDiscovered this product in the military and was an instant fan. Great for men with hair control issues, cowlicks or just stubborn hair. I have been using STIX FIX now for over 5 years and will continue for years to come.posted Aug 15, 2007Link to this post
PaulExcellent ProductI have used this product for years. It remains the best product of its type.posted Dec 21, 2006Link to this post
Al PriceGardena, CaliforniaGood Stuff - Great PriceFor my 60th birthday I decided I needed to do something different in my life, for one I got a "Flat top" haircut (yes, I still have all my own hair!) When I was in the Army I used "Butch wax", but I havent been able to locate it in the stores. I found "Three Flowers" brilliantine, but it leaves a greasy feel and takes washing three or four times to wash it out. My barber sold me a greal brilliantine product from "JOICO", but "Stix Fix" does the same for me as JOICO and at 1/3 the cost! Thank you so much for "Stix Fix"!posted Jul 7, 2006Link to this post
GuyGreatThis is one of the best mens hair styling products I have ever used. It doesnt get hard like gels or weigh down the hair too much. it looks natural but still styled. It holds rather well. Its good for all types of hair but it best for shorter hair. When you have longer hair, constant reapplication will make it harder to wsh out.posted Mar 14, 2006Link to this post
LorneTexasThis Stuff Is GreatI tried it a few years ago from a barber I went to. When he went out of business I could not find it anywhere. Luckily I found it on this site. I am telling you this is the best stuff out there and I have tried it all. I get complements on a daily basis from people wondering how I get my bangs to stand up so great. It makes me look like a movie star.posted Jun 6, 2005Link to this post
