Services :: Legal Hike in China's Rare Earths Export Quota Falls Short of EU, U.S. Demands9:40 AM MDT | July 15, 2011 | Ian Young China has doubled its export quota for rare earth elements in the second half of 2011 compared with the same period of 2010. However, the decision means that China's rare earths export quota for the whole of 2011 will be virtually unchanged from last year. The move disappointed the European Union (EU), U.S., and Japan, which have been lobbying China for a bigger increase in its rare earths export quota, to ease supplies in international markets and soften prices. China, which accounts for more than 95% of global rare earths production, has cut its export quotas... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers.

USN-1386-1: Linux kernel (Natty backport) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1386-1
6th March, 2012
linux-lts-backport-natty vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software description
- linux-lts-backport-natty - Linux kernel backport from Natty
The linux kernel did not properly account for PTE pages when deciding which
task to kill in out of memory conditions. A local, unprivileged could
exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2498)
A flaw was discovered in the TOMOYO LSM's handling of mount system calls.
An unprivileged user could oops the system causing a denial of service.
Han-Wen Nienhuys reported a flaw in the FUSE kernel module. A local user
who can mount a FUSE file system could cause a denial of service.
A bug was discovered in the Linux kernel's calculation of OOM (Out of
memory) scores, that would result in the wrong process being killed. A user
could use this to kill the process with the highest OOM score, even if that
process belongs to another user or the system. (CVE-2011-4097)
A flaw was found in KVM's Programmable Interval Timer (PIT). When a virtual
interrupt control is not available a local user could use this to cause a
denial of service by starting a timer. (CVE-2011-4622)
A flaw was discovered in the XFS filesystem. If a local user mounts a
specially crafted XFS image it could potential execute arbitrary code on
the system. (CVE-2012-0038)
Chen Haogang discovered an integer overflow that could result in memory
corruption. A local unprivileged user could use this to crash the system.
A flaw was found in the linux kernels IPv4 IGMP query processing. A remote
attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-0207)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
- linux-image-2.6.38-13-virtual 2.6.38-13.56~lucid1
- linux-image-2.6.38-13-server 2.6.38-13.56~lucid1
- linux-image-2.6.38-13-generic-pae 2.6.38-13.56~lucid1
- linux-image-2.6.38-13-generic 2.6.38-13.56~lucid1
To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If
you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as
well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you
manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic,
linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically
perform this as well.

Henry and the Flagpole is the sixteenth episode of the ninth season.
Henry loves going to Lord Callan's Castle as it means that he gets to pass his favourite tree; the tall pine tree. After Henry delivers cargo for the upcoming banquet to the castle, the Fat Controller tells him to collect a new flagpole from the Docks.
At the Docks, Henry searches for the flagpole, expecting it to be standing up. However, Henry gets distracted by Cranky's tall height and does not see the new flagpole on the flatbed in front of him. Henry bumps into the flatbed, causing the flagpole to roll off and land onto the tracks. Salty is rolling by and accidentally crushes the flagpole. Henry was not expecting the flagpole to be laying down. The Fat Controller is cross and now Lord Callan's Castle will not have a flagpole.
That evening, Henry meets Toby, who is looking at the tall pine tree, and tells him about the broken flagpole. Toby suggests that the tall pine tree would be useful as a new flagpole, but Henry does not agree. The next morning, Henry is sent to the forest with workmen carrying saws and axes. Henry thinks that the tall pine tree is going to be cut down and is determined to save the tree by finding a new flagpole. But all the flagpoles he can find are too short, even those at the beach and at the airfield. That night, the Fat Controller scolds Henry for delaying the workmen's job at the forest and, as punishment, he is to collect coal trucks whilst Edward takes the workmen.
At the Coaling Plant, Henry tells Thomas about finding a new flagpole and Thomas suggests that sometimes things can be found where one would not expect. So Henry goes off and puts Thomas' theory into practice. After looking at a field of cows, Henry sees Trevor at the Vicarage Orchard, knowing he will not make a good flagpole.
At the Docks, Henry sees some tourists taking photographs of an old ship and Salty tells Henry that the old ship's mast is to be chopped up for firewood. Henry decides to use it as a new flagpole and, once the old ship's mast is on a flatbed, he rushes off to the forest. At the forest, Henry pleads with the Fat Controller not to cut down the tall pine tree as he found a new flagpole. The Fat Controller tells Henry that there was no intention to cut down the tall pine tree at all; the workmen's job was to collect firewood for the Scottish Castle banquet.
That night, Henry and Thomas see the Scottish flag hoisted up the old ship's mast and Henry thinks it looks beautiful, but not as beautiful as the tall pine tree.

It's been well over a year since I first talked publicly about Pandora for Windows Mobile. After a number of false starts and broken promises on my part, I'm happy to report that we've now released our first Windows Mobile implementations of Pandora.
Today we're rolling out Pandora for the HTC XV6900 on Verizon, the HTC Touch on Sprint, and the Motorola Q9C on both Sprint and Verizon. These are free to download and are supported solely through advertising. The entire Pandora experience you've come to expect on the web is available on your Windows Mobile phone: create stations, listen, give feedback, QuickMix, etc.
In cooperation with AT&T we are also launching Pandora support for three additional Windows Mobile phones: the Samsung Epix, the LG Incite, and HTC Fuze. AT&T has decided to make these versions of Pandora available on a monthly subscription basis.
To get started with Pandora on your HTC Touch, HTC XV6900, Motorola Q9C, LG Incite, HTC Fuze, or Samsung Epix simply visit http://www.pandora.com using Mobile Internet Explorer on your smartphone and follow the installation instructions.
We're continuing the work required to bring Pandora to a broader range of Windows Mobile handsets. Keep your eye on this blog and this page for updates on new handsets.
For those of you that have been keeping an eye on this since I first talked about it so long ago, thanks again for your patience. Enjoy!
220 thoughts on "Pandora on Windows Mobile"
Pandora would have alot more users if they added support for more windows mobile phones, but since they dont give HTCRadio.com a try. They offer streaming radio broadcasts in a wide variety of genres. Until Pandora offers something for my touch pro, I am avoiding them.
has there been any move on this subject? I'd love to have Pandora on my AT&T Tilt 2, but I'm not giving them another $5 a month when they let their precious iPhone customers get it for free.
Found a cab file that works perfectly with the HTC Ozone at: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=48350&highlight=pandora
You have to register to get it, but I just installed it, and can't find anything that doesn't work. -
Im fairly dissapointed that pandora dosnt work on unlocked phones, Especially the paid version and on unlocked phones via WiFi.
I would not mind paying for the service if they provided on the HTC Touch Pro 2 and had better quality than on the other devices.
you can download pandora .cab here (http://hotfile.com/dl/22844778/4b464eb/Pandora_VGAIVAN1.cab.html) should work on most windows phones but isnt actually designed for new touch phones, buttons are very tiny so I suggest to use the stylus.
Does anyone know if the bitrate for Pandora WinMo improves when you have a Pandora One subscription? I would gladly pay for a One subscription if it means high quality mobile streaming but the current free streaming I get to WinMo is not listenable. I don't know what the point of having Pandora WinMo is if it sounds so horrible.
I have no problem streaming music at 192Kbps+ and even videos from my own Orb server to my phone (Sprint HTC Touch) so there certainly aren't any bandwidth reasons that Pandora can't stream high quality audio to mobile. I'd like to see 192Kbps streaming over the cell network same as on the web. -
How much longer will it take for a VGA release for the Touch pro & Diamond. Maybe another year or so? How long is the agreement? like for ever?
Come on, this sounds like a monopoly on who has to pay and who doesn't. Unless at&t has invested some money in the company in which grants them certain control, other than that I see no reason in not releasing the VGA cab for download. -
is it just me our have there really been no updates to the available phone list in over a year? are all of us t mobile people with or shiny 3g data packages forgotten or have we been deemed unimportant? I'm losing faith, guys. seriously…
Everyone getting an error (Debug Assertion Failed!) at program startup should start Windows Media Player. Then turn off shuffle. Then open Task Manager and kill WMP.
I am not even kidding.
Looks like it's time to find a good 3rd-party media player. -
It worked on my Touch Pro 2. Thx for the link.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=48350&highlight=pandora -
OK…Really. I've been watching and waiting for support for the HTC Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2 for a year and a half. You've been advertising your service as coming soon for that long. Even if you charged $1.9. per month and were straight forward with your customer base, you'd be seen in a better light than baiting customers and not delivering on your service…for almost two years!
Have you had a look at the forum posts lately. Do you see a trend that has developed? Is it a good one? The natives are getting restless. You'd better start listening.
Your service is valuable, but easily replicated. Competitors are already hitting the market hard. Your first-to-market advantage is about to expire. I'd hate to see you go the way of Netscape, but YOU MUST LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!
I love your service. It is really awesome! But now I have choices that will deliver close to the same experience ON MY DEVICE. That same mobile experience I've been promised for close to two years is now available from a competitor.
I'm verging on disillusionment.
Light a fire under your asses (PLEASE!) or, sorry to say, you'll be reduced to academic status. -
My friends have introduced me to pandora, and i love it! The problem is that they have verizon and i have alltel, do they not have pandora for that? I have the newer lg touch.
when will an app come out for the HTC Imagio???
Any plans for the Samsung Omnia II in the near future?
I used to love Pandora Radio. I was happy to pay $36 a year & I listened to it at work all the time. I discovered many new artist & went to amazon to purchase the songs I really liked. I even introduced my kids to many of these same artist. Not only was I paying $36 a year happily, but the artist whose songs I purchased were making money too. Then I got an HTC Touch Pro & found out it doesn't support Pandora. I can afford $36 a year easily, but I refuse to pay for Pandora if it doesn't work on my phone as well. I have had this phone for 20 months now & Pandora still has no solution. So now I don't listen to Pandora at all. I find new music online through other websites for free. Now Pandora is full of ads & you can only listen for 40 hours a month even though we have to listen to commercials. Pandora used to be one of the greatest human endeavors of all time. Now it is filled with commercials & politics. I hope Pandora has made lots of money selling it's soul to the money-changers.
I am having a little trouble here. We dumped our iPhones and got an HTC TP2 and HD2. How do I get Pandora on these? It's not in the Windows Market and I don't see the phones on your website (it looks really outdated) but I'm sure you must have it for these phones. Am I missing something? Thanks for your time.
will there ever be pandora for say the htc freestyle
I know you are working hard on the implamenting more mobile phones but I would like to ask you to please remember the HTC Touch Pro 2 in your services please and thank you
Nick -
can I used pandoras box on windows ce wireless internet?And if I can should I choose iphone or mobile to access this awesome site?

MONIA CREEK. Monia Creek rises in Union County, New Mexico (at 35°54' N, 103°21' W), and runs southeast for thirty miles to its mouth on Punta de Agua Creek, three miles north of Romero in southwestern Hartley County (at 35°47' N, 102°55' W). The creek flows through a near-barren area marked by playas or shallow depressions and surfaced by variable soils that support grasses.

Hello, as you can see I am a newbie. I am exploring this Vizzed world , But unfortunately I haven't see a advantage of being a member. Honestly you have to pay for playing( of course fake money, which you get easy)., but when I was not a member I could play whenever I wanted as many times as I wanted. The only thing good is the chance of post things in here, and being a honest member, but for what? Please respond me and tell me a good advantage.
Thanks. P.S: I don't hate Vizzed and I don't have anything against it. And I don't want to troll. |

Before you signed up you could play 5 games a day.
As a member you get a 100 vizz every day you sign in. All games cost vizz only once,then its free,and they generaly are very cheap so you can play more than 5 a day. Generaly being a member is good as you can make posts and use the chat room. |

I understand. I had the same thoughts when I first found this place. I just played the games and I really did not care weather or not I was a member. You do it for the perks such as the forums and meeting cool new people. I love both the forums and the RGR now. Also I don't spend any viz on anything anymore.

I also thought that it was nice to find a site where I could just play random games and kill time, but I thought about it and realized that it would also be a good idea to get in on the community and see what some of the better homebrewed games out here are, or some of the other hacks people have come up with. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the plugin to work (PM sent to RGR Staff) but as soon as I can, I'll be hopping in and probably buying a ton of games, and trying to learn my way around here.

Well if it makes a difference to you, posting earns you extra Viz and gets you closer to becoming a Normal Member. If you're more interested in playing a lot of different RGR games, it can't hurt to have extra Viz.

Abstract | Group projects are often assigned in business schools to improve student comprehension of course content and build teamwork skills. Although the literature examining the usefulness of group projects is extensive, the link between cooperative leaning, group performance and skills transfer in workplace contexts, remains unclear. In addition, group-learning research within the marketing discipline in Australian higher education institutions is limited. Focus groups were conducted with a sample of 107 postgraduate and undergraduate marketing students. Results confirm that group work facilitates the development of interpersonal skills and higher-level learning. In addition, there is the promise of transfer of learning to other situations. However, students appear to be negatively disposed to group work at the start of a teaching semester, signaling the need for instructors to prepare, coach and debrief students as to the expected benefits associated with participation in group exercises throughout teaching periods. |

Michael Barone - Stop & Frisk doesn't target minorities, it protects them
New York City seems on the verge of making the same mistake that Detroit made 40 years ago. The mistake is to abolish the NYPD practice referred to as stop and frisk.
It's more accurately called stop, question and frisk. People were stopped and questioned 4.4 million times between 2004 and 2012. But the large majority were not frisked.
The effectiveness of this police practice, initiated by Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1994 and continued by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is not in doubt. The number of homicides — the most accurately measured crime — in New York fell from a peak of 2,605 in 1990 to 952 in 2001, Giuliani's last year in office, to just 414 in 2012.
Nevertheless, the three leading Democratic mayoral candidates in the city's September primary all have pledged to end stop and frisk. And last week, federal judge Schira Scheindlin, in a lawsuit brought by 19 men who have been stopped and frisked, found that the practice is unconstitutional and racially discriminatory.
Bloomberg has promised to appeal, and several of Scheindlin's decisions in high-profile cases have been reversed. But the leading Democratic candidates for mayor promise, if elected, to drop the appeal.
The two leading Republican candidates support stop and frisk, but their chances of election seem dim in a city that voted 81 percent for Barack Obama in 2012.
What riles opponents of stop and frisk is that a high proportion of those stopped are young black and Hispanic males. Many innocent people undoubtedly and understandably resent being subjected to this practice. No one likes to be frisked, including the thousands of airline passengers who are every day.
But young black and, to a lesser extent, Hispanic males are far, far more likely than others to commit (and be victims of) violent crimes, as Bloomberg points out. I take no pleasure in reporting that fact and wish it weren't so.
This was recognized by, among others, Jesse Jackson, who in 1993 said, "There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start to think about robbery and then look around and see it's somebody white and feel relieved."
You can get an idea about what could happen in New York by comparing it with Chicago, where there were 532 homicides in 2012.
That's more than in New York, even though New York's population is three times as large.
One Chicagoan who supports stop and frisk is the father of Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old girl shot down a week after singing at Barack Obama's second inauguration. "If it's already working, why take it away?" he told the New York Post. "If that was possible in Chicago, maybe our daughter would be alive."
Chicago and New York both have tough gun control laws. But bad guys can easily get guns in both cities.
The difference, as the New York Daily News's James Warren has pointed out, is that frequent stops and frisks combined with mandatory three-year sentences for illegal possession of a gun mean that bad guys in New York don't take them out on the street much.
Stop and frisk makes effective the otherwise ineffective gun control that Bloomberg so strongly supports.
An extreme case of what happens when a city ends stop and frisk is Detroit. Coleman Young, the city's first black mayor, did so immediately after winning the first of five elections in 1973.
In short order Detroit became America's murder capital. Its population fell from 1.5 million to 1 million between 1970 and 1990. Crime has abated somewhat since the Young years, but the city's population fell to 713,000 in 2010 — just over half that when Young took office.
People with jobs and families — first whites, then blacks — fled to the suburbs or farther afield. Those left were mostly poor, underemployed, in too many cases criminal — and not taxpayers. As a result, the city government went bankrupt last month.
New York has strengths Detroit always lacked. But it is not impervious to decline. After Mayor John Lindsay ended tough police practices, the city's population fell from 7.9 million in 1970 to 7.1 million in 1980.
Those who decry stop and frisk as racially discriminatory should remember who is hurt most by violent crime — law-abiding residents of high-crime neighborhoods, most of them black and Hispanic, people like Hadiya Pendleton.

Sanborn – Sales are up, but not prices
OK! Finally, there were over a hundred residential homes sales in one month in the towns covered by this report. There were 110 in July, to be exact, at an average sales price of $299,469. This may not be exactly a watershed moment in the Lakes Region real estate world, but it has been a long time since this happened. Last July there were just 70 sales at an average price of $260,113 so that's a healthy 57 percent increase.
Year to date sales of residential homes are up 13 percent with 556 sales through the end of July compared to 491 for the same period in 2012. The average sales price for the first seven months of the year comes in at $283,536 which is a just a bit lower than the $286,898 for the same period last year. Despite all the news reports on TV of the real estate market getting hot and prices increasing, it should be noted that real estate is a very local phenomena. While some areas may be seeing big bumps in selling prices and multiple offers, that just isn't happening in the Lakes Region. If you are thinking of listing your home to sell, don't get all excited thinking you can ask more for your property than you could a year ago. It is still a buyer's market in this neck of the woods and may be for some time. The good news is that the total number of residential sales has increased and that should help whittle down the inventory.
As usual, most of the high end sales last month were waterfront properties. There were, however, some pretty nice homes off the water that found new owners. Some took a while longer to sell than others, though. Take, for example, the property at 141 Riverwood Drive in New Hampton. This custom contemporary cape was built in 2004 and has an amazing, high quality 7,187 square feet of living space with all the bells and whistles. There is a gourmet kitchen featuring gorgeous cabinetry, high end appliances, granite counters, a great room with the requisite stone fireplace, a first floor master suite, four guest bedrooms, and a man cave over the garage that most guys can only dream about. This home was listed way back in June of 2009 for $699,000 and has been on the market every year since. It was relisted this year at $579,000 and had several price reductions down to $399,000. It finally sold at a higher price at $455,000. I expect there might be a long story about why it sold higher than the asking price, but it cannot be anywhere near as long as the 1,179 days it was on the market. The home is assessed at $761,080 so I'd say the buyer got a great deal.
A Victorian with a contemporary flair at 1525 NH Route 140 in Gilmanton, NH also sold last month. This 4,745 square foot beauty was built in 2002 and has three bedrooms, two and a half baths, gourmet kitchen, two fireplaces, master suite, den, bonus room, custom woodwork, and more. It was originally listed at $590,000 in December of 2009 and was on the market 270 days then. It came back on the market in April of 2012 for $485,500 and sold for $404,900 after another 417 days on the market. Time and (less) money fix everything. This home is currently assessed at $495,520.
A spectacular, custom built 4,868 square foot contemporary at 32 Harvest Run in one of Gilford's most desirable neighborhoods also found a buyer after 291 days on the market. This high quality home left little to be desired with its great floor plan, gourmet kitchen, granite countertops, beautiful oak trim and flooring, fireplace, sun room, media room, and a spacious first floor master suite plus four guest rooms upstairs. This home was listed at $660,000, reduced to $599,900, and sold for $550,000 after 291 days on the market plus another 118 days under contract. This property is assessed for $495,500. Obviously, the quality was recognized by the buyer.
Up in Gunstock Acres in Gilford, a mountaintop retreat at 30 Ridgeline Loop also took almost a year to sell. This 4,505 square foot, three bedroom, two and a half bath contemporary home was built in 1985 and is spectacular but the amazing panoramic views undoubtedly sold this home. The home has a gated entrance (no, not on the front door, in the driveway!), a great room with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and fireplace, an upscale kitchen with granite counters, birch flooring, beautiful natural woodwork, master suite, gym, sunroom, and large deck overlooking the lake. There's also a two car detached carriage house plus an attached five car garage just in case. This is a home to entertain in and the party won't stop if the lights go out because a whole house generator ensures that you can party on. This home was listed for $849,000, was reduced to $799,000, and sold for $640,000 after 330 days on the market. It is currently assessed at $525,700.
So, it's pretty easy to see that all of these homes were on the market for extended periods of time and they all took sizeable price reductions to finally get a buyer. Do you think these sellers would have been ahead of the game and had a little less stress in their lives if they had listed lower to begin with?

Susan Estrich - Evil comes in all colors
The three Oklahoma teenagers were, according to official reports, "bored." So they decided to do something: kill the guy who jogged past them. They got in the car, followed him and did just that.
The district attorney described the youngest, the 15-year-old, as having treated the murder as a "joke." He reportedly danced as he was booked. The 16-year-old, supposedly the one who pulled the trigger, showed no emotion when he was charged with first-degree murder. Only the 17-year-old, who is supposedly cooperating, broke down — and only when the prosecutor referenced the "very, very lengthy prison sentence" he is facing. "I didn't pull the trigger," he said. So what?
Okay, I'll play carefully. Assuming the facts presented without contradiction to the court to be true, these boys are evil and should rot in hell for what they did.
Now, to get even uglier. The (alleged) killers are African-American. The victim was a young Australian baseball player who attended college in Oklahoma and had just visited his girlfriend. He had a bright future.
The three beasts (again, assuming these facts to be true) are not star athletes and college students. Their lives, I'm sure we will be told, are empty and hopeless.
I don't know whether you call this a "hate" crime or not. That would turn on whether epithets were uttered, whether the victim was selected because of his race, all of that. It really doesn't matter. It doesn't get much uglier than the unprovoked, cold-blooded murder of an innocent victim chosen at random.
Anyone who was the least bit outraged by the killing of Trayvon Martin should be screaming bloody murder right now.
What makes me wonder whether they will?
Mr. President, some thoughts, please? Can you identify with the parents of the kid who went for a jog and ended up dead? No, he doesn't look anything like you would have at 15, at least judged from the color of his skin, but that isn't what matters, is it?
The real point is that these hooligans — the 15-, 16- and 17-year-old — also bear no relationship to our president when he was that age.
Evil comes in all shapes and sizes and colors, and when we see it, we need to call it for what it is.
News accounts say the two younger boys have had hard lives. The mother of the 15-year-old is in jail. Last year, the 16-year-old lost both his stepfather and his brother. Illness? Murder? Plainly, loss did not make them better people. Perhaps the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Is that cruel? Sure. But we are talking here of pure evil.
Plenty of kids grow up surrounded by all forms of depravation, and yet they would never kill a person to fill a boring day. They know, deep down, the difference between good and evil. Plenty of kids grow up with bad parents and bad families and bad problems, but they don't go shoot a baseball player out for a jog to make their day. It's not black or white. Evil doesn't have a color. Evil is evil.
Then there's the guns issue. An Australian politician and gun-control advocate is already calling for a boycott of tourism to America to protest the killings. It is important to know how these beasts got the gun or guns they used. (According to authorities, they were on their way to another home to commit another murder when they were apprehended.) No responsible gun owner could possibly agree that these beasts had any right to possess a weapon.
But at the end of the day, they did. And they should pay for it for the rest of their lives.

Pat Buchanan - Who owns Egypt's future?
In the near term, bet on the men with the guns.
The Egyptian Army, being slowly squeezed out of its central role in the nation's life by Mohammed Morsi, waited for the moment to oust the elected president and crush his Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi was deposed and arrested, and the Brotherhood leaders rounded up and jailed. Their Cairo encampments were cleansed by gunfire. Hundreds of brothers were cut down and killed, and thousands wounded.
Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, gazing into his mirror, must see Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser gazing back.
In the near term, the Brotherhood is in disarray. It backed the Arab Spring, heeded America's call for free elections, and won parliament and the presidency, only to have the army, with America's backing, overthrow its Islamist government in a military coup.
If the Brotherhood feels betrayed, if it believes its sons who opposed the coup died as martyrs, if it has concluded that the Americans, with their endless blather about democracy, are duplicitous hypocrites, are they entirely wrong?
In the short term, America must get on with the generals. For it is they who bottle up Hamas in Gaza, battle al-Qaida in Sinai, protect the Christian Copts, grant our Air Force overflight rights and our Navy first-in-line transit rights through the Suez Canal. And it is the generals who continue to honor the terms of the Camp David accords.
Understandably, Israeli diplomats are imploring us, the slaughter aside, not to cut our ties to the Egyptian military. Yet it is hard to believe the long-term future belongs to the generals.
Looking back, of all the forces unleashed by the Arab Spring, the Facebook-Twitter crowd calling for secular democracy harvested the greatest publicity. But even then, other forces seemed to have deeper and broader roots in the hearts and minds of the masses.
Those forces: tribalism, nationalism and Islamism.
The generals may work hand-in-glove with the Israelis. But anti-Zionism remains one of the few rallying cries that can unite secularist and Islamist, Sunni and Shia.
And as the Jews have been expelled from the Arab world, today it is the turn of the Christians. They have seen priests murdered, churches torched and congregations massacred in Iraq, Syria, Egypt and beyond, in Ethiopia and Nigeria — by extremists who cite the Quran for what they are doing. And after the Jews and Christians are gone, it is likely to be the turn of the Americans.
Why? First, the Americans are seen as standing behind Israel's regional superiority and dominance of the Palestinian Arabs.
Second, while we defend our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as liberations from dictatorship and obscurantism, they are seen over there as America using her power to impose upon these nations our institutions and our ideology. And while America's achievements may inspire awe, America's culture, suffused with feminist and Hollywood values, evokes revulsion.
Millions of Muslims are willing to die to keep America and American values out of their societies. How many Americans are willing to fight and die over there to force them on Arab peoples?
Third, there is a growing confidence in the Islamic world that the future belongs to them. Whence comes this confidence?
Western peoples are dying, as Muslim populations are exploding and Muslim migrants are pouring into Europe and the United States. While Islam is booming in the East and being welcomed in the West, Christianity is dying in the West and being expelled from the East.
It is not unreasonable for Muslim visionaries to see the next 500 years as an era of Islamic ascendancy, as the last 500 saw a Western ascendancy.
Fourth, while Egypt's army has the guns and, temporarily, the banner of patriotism, it has no faith, no philosophy, no ideology to justify an indefinite hold on power. When, like Hosni Mubarak, this generation of generals is seen as incompetent and repressive, upon what do they fall back to justify their legitimacy to the next crowd in Tahrir Square?
Indeed, this is America's dilemma. When Japan attacked and Adolf Hitler declared war, and when Josef Stalin set out to dominate the world, all we held dear — faith, family, freedom, country — said resist. When Osama bin Laden took down our towers, we united to take down him and al-Qaida.
Millions of Muslims are willing to fight to drive us out of their part of the world. How many Americans are willing to send our sons to die for secular democracy and American values in their part of the world?
After World War II, when communists captured the banner of nationalism, they were on the move in China, Vietnam, Cuba. When Ronald Reagan recaptured the banners of nationalism in Angola, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, suddenly it was the communists on the run.
Ethnonationalism and religious fundamentalism tore apart the British, French and Soviet empires. All are working now against the U.S. Imperium. The generals in Egypt won this round. But is there any doubt as to which way the wind is blowing?

Jim Hightower - Militarizing our police
Attention citizens: I have received inside information revealing that global terrorists are targeting us again. Their target is not Washington, New York City or even Disneyland. Rather, it is: Concord.
You know, in New Hampshire. The state capital. Even though only about 43,000 people live there, Concord apparently has some sort of secret significance that makes it a target. We can infer this from an extraordinary defensive action being taken by local authorities. Concord police, fully backed by the city council, are preparing for a horrific terroristical assault. Specifically, they sought a $258,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security so they can gird themselves for the onslaught by purchasing a "Lenco BearCat G3" armored vehicle. Sure enough, DHS gladly coughed up the cash.
This bold stand to defend the homeland was revealed by the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, which obtained a copy of the grant request. Actually, it is not al-Qaida terrorists that have Concord's police gearing up for war, but, as their request put it, "the domestic type" of terrorists.
Really? Terrorists in Concord? Yes, claim police, referring vaguely to "daily challenges" and warning that the "threat is real and here."
Who are these domestic demons? The police finger two groups. First, Occupy N.H. But it's a benign bunch that legitimately protests inequalities in our country, and its only "violence" has been directed at litter, having joined in local litter pickup days. Second, the Free State Project. But it's just a libertarianish outfit trying to convince 20,000 like-minded people to move to New Hampshire and support limited government. How's that for irony?
Neither group is armed or dangerous, and both are committed to nonviolence. Still, the police insist they need a BearCat G3 because of terrorist threats that might involve "chemical, biological and radiological materials, as well as explosive gases."
However, the most explosive gas in Concord is spewing directly from the out-of-control police officials who assail their own peaceful citizens as "terrorists." And the real threat to our security is DHS, which keeps shoveling our tax dollars into the militarization of America's police forces.
In fact, the real motive behind Concord's desire for this war toy seems to have been BearCat envy — it turns out that the nearby towns of Keene and Manchester already had BearCats, so Concord cops wanted to keep up with the Joneses in the ever-escalating police arms race.
But this ridiculous and dangerous conversion from honest police work to a martial force in our own land is not just a matter of acquiring arms, but of our police departments acquiring a military attitude. An example of this alarming shift can be found in, of all places, the Garden of Eden.
The Biblical Garden, we're told, was heaven on Earth ... until Adam ate that apple. Then all hell broke loose. Well, hell recently erupted in the garden again — this time in Arlington, Texas, on a small organic farm named "Garden of Eden." At about 7:30 on the morning of Aug. 2, a SWAT team of armed police agents, code enforcement officers and narcotics detectives suddenly exploded all over Shellie Smith's little farm. They burst through the gate, handcuffed the terrified residents and held them at gunpoint while the agents executed the raid's mission.
Which was what, exactly? A City of Arlington spokeswoman explained, "The purpose was to improve the quality of life (and) to resolve life safety issues within neighborhoods." It seems there had been complaints about marijuana being grown on the farm and about the place being unkempt.
So, what did the derring-do raiders achieve? Widespread ridicule for their farcical bust. They captured 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants, some native grasses and all the sunflowers. Then they whacked down Shellie's sweet potato patch with a Weed Eater, and seized the farm's compost, along with some wooden pallets, old tires and furniture.
Notice what they did not find? Marijuana plants. Nor any other illegal products. In short, on the basis of rumor, autocratic police power was unleashed to "improve the quality of life" by destroying an organic farm.
Why would police resort to paramilitary force just to check out a few marijuana plants and some trash? Because right-wing officials and arms-industry lobbyists have been pushing hard to get police departments all across America to switch from a peacekeeping attitude to an aggressive, militarized SWAT mentality, with officers being armed, trained, and psyched to treat common citizens as enemies.

Roman Ruins (not)
Trip Start
Sep 22, 2007
Trip End
Oct 06, 2007
Where I stayed
We are invited to Dinner with an Americian couple. In the meantime, we want to go to Maastricht to see the Roman ruins there. We quickly register at the Best Western (it now has rooms open) and take off for Maastricht.
Oh, an interesting note - the accent is different in this area of Netherlands. We are at the southern tip of a slender finger of Netherlands that projects down from it's south east corner - it is surrounded by Germany and Belgium and the closest centers are in Germany and Belgium. When we were at the Best Western Gary spoke in Dutch with the person behind the desk (although she could speak perfect English) - and as we walked out he told me how he forgot that they speak differently down there... one pronounced difference that even I caught was that the g's are pronounced differently. In the Dutch language, the g is normally pronounced gutterally.. like you are trying to discreetly clear a bit of food from the back of your mouth... Gouda is prounounced Hgowda .. with the Hg representing the gutteral sound. In Heerlen the g is much like ours.... but the r is more gutteral. Probably the influence of the German language.
On to Maastricht. We drive there on the freeway, passing by the exit for the Valkenberg castle -- and on to Maastricht. It's doesn't take long - probably less than half an hour. We park near the old city center but are told by a kind local that we are parking in a taxi zone and will be towed. Gary takes off to park elsewhere while we go sit on a bench in the center, soaking up the sights and sounds.
We wander around the old city center a bit, watching a marching band, visiting a church, and trying to find out where the Roman ruins are. A guy who runs a tourist tram thingy tells us that there really aren't any ruins - that you can just see things that were built on ruins - so we go back to Heerlen to get settled into our rooms and off to dinner. We later find out that there are apparently ruins underground. http://txtx.essortment.com/travelhollandm_rgqu.htm

MRI on Joe Wieland's elbow does not show damage to ulnar collateral ligament
Mar 17, 2014, 11:45 PM EDT
You guys aren't going to believe this, but here's some good news about an injured starting pitcher.
While Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reported late last night that the Padres were fearful that right-hander Joe Wieland would require a second Tommy John surgery, general manager Josh Byrnes told Jeff Sanders of U-T San Diego this evening that an MRI did not show damage to the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow.
Byrnes declined to say exactly what the MRI showed, but it's worth noting that Wieland suffered a stress reaction in his elbow and dealt with a triceps issue last year while rehabbing from his July 2012 Tommy John surgery. The Padres are expected to know more about his status in seven to 10 days, but it sounds like the worst-case scenario can be ruled out.
If there's any team that deserves some good luck on the injury front for once, it's the Padres.
- nymets4ever - Mar 18, 2014 at 8:00 AM
that's good
- gloccamorra - Mar 18, 2014 at 2:01 PM
Yup, it's always good when you don't need a second TJ before you ever got into a major league game after the first. The Padres WERE at bit snakebitten on TJ surgery and other injuries the last two years: Luebke twice, Wieland once, Kelly, Oramas, Marquis last year along with minor league outfielder Liriano, shoulder surgery for Richard last year, shoulder surgery for Moseley in 2012, forearm surgery for Stauffer in 2012, and Josh Johnson had forearm surgery in 2013 just before he signed with the Padres.
And that's just the pitchers! Last year was knee surgery for Headley, ACL knee surgery for catcher Grandal, Meniscus knee surgery #3 for Quentin, and knee AND wrist surgery last year for Maybin. Alonso's hand broken by a pitch, costing him 2 months, didn't require surgery, and nothing but a month off could fix Gyorko's groin strain last year.
Bud Black should get an award for winning 76 games the last two years with scrubs and subs.

The boundaries between the real and the virtual are becoming increasingly blurred. In a corporate setting, it is more important than ever to identify and control the way the organization deals with customers, suppliers, employees, and other users who may interact with information systems.
Identity Management, or IDM, refers to how humans are identified and authorized across computer networks. It encompasses issues such as the way users are given an identity, the protection of that identity, and the technologies supporting that protection, such as network protocols, digital certificates, passwords, and so on. Proper identity management is, of course, an essential component of any security strategy.
Identity Management: A Primer provides a complete and comprehensive overview of the elements required for a properly planned identity environment. In it, the authors cover the entire gamut of IDM-related matters, including directories; authentication; provisioning; role-based access control; single sign-on; governance, risk, and compliance; implementation and roadmap; public key infrastructure; electronic identity smartcards; and a wealth of other important topics.
As the title indicates, this book is a primer in which the key issues of identity management are identified and appropriate strategies and preventative measures are covered in an easy-to-understand format, with extensive use of real-world case study examples. Students and IT professionals alike will appreciate this resource as they seek to understand and master the complexity of identity in a virtual world.
With Identity Management: A Primer, you will:
- Understand the concept of identity management in planning an environment that will manage identities in order to improve compliance with governance requirements
- Discover the best way to scope the IDM task to construct a roadmap that moves toward the desired goal
- Learn to plan an environment that interfaces systemically rather than grow disparate and isolated components
- Find a case study and discussion questions in each chapter for real-world grounding of the topics

The Barcelona defender claims Real Madrid fans at Santiago Bernabeu verbally assaulted him during Wednesday afternoon's Copa del Rey semifinal. He also said he experiences similar taunts in stadiums all over Spain.
The headline in papers around the world are his words that the fight against racism in stadiums is "a lost war," but he also expressed a desire to see "drastic measures" imposed upon teams whose fans verbally assault players. So maybe he doesn't think it is such a lost cause?
And it's not. It's horrible we have to keep hearing about these instances, but every time we do, we get a little closer to solving the problem. From Alves' statement to Jozy Altidore's poised interview and Kevin-Prince Boateng's response, the issue continues to come to the forefront.
For too long, racism in soccer has been something to ignore, something that was brushed under the table by team management, league officials, and the bigger bodies. The players are the ones who need to force the change. It seems that they are starting to realize the power they have and how they can wield it. We, as journalists and fans, should do everything we can to support the cause.

We Americans try to act like we're better than Europeans in this aspect, but we're not. The difference is that their racism is overt. Our racism is covert.
- cktai - Feb 1, 2013 at 6:39 AM
The main difference is the composition of football crowds.
Over here in Europe, many of the hardcore supporter groups are disenfranchised radicalized young men who see sports as a way to express their hatred in an anonymous manner. Many of these men are fairly normal well-behaved in their usual social settings, but the anonymity of a large vocal testosterone filled group will turn them into gibbering morons. The behavior of football crowds does not even remotely reflect European society as a whole, or even the crowd of other sports.
Although in the case of Den Bosch, it were not the hardcore fans that misbehaved, but the fans that only show up for big games such as the cup game against AZ. People that look for opportunity to misbehave under the pretense of supporting a football club.
- geojock - Feb 1, 2013 at 9:53 AM
Clever little play of words there, but what exactly do you mean? Are you implying that Americans are covert racist instead of overt racist? Does that mean that you think that Euros are overt racist, but not covert racist? Not too clever if that is what you think. If that is NOT what you think then it defeats your other argument because if Americans = covert racist and Euros = covert & overt racist then Americans > Euros. All of this of course is assuming that all this rampant overt racism is going on in America which I don't believe. But I don't have a American guilt complex that forces me to hate this great nation.

• Press release: title of the story • PR: title of the story • Title of the story [Press release]
It might help when it's from someone who knows what a press release is. Not when it's just marketing tagged as a press release. Mary Branscombe, freelance writer (Financial Times, The Guardian, ZDnet,…) We do not really care if an email is labeled as a press release. Our news office is trained to process huge amounts of information in a very short time. Doing that, we see beyond the words "Exclusive," "Breaking," or "For immediate release." "Press release" is another of those words. And when people DO decide they want to use the word "press release," make sure the content of the pitch actually contains news. If you do not have an interesting story, don't email it. Tom De Cock, radio host, MNM/VRT I would say that every unnecessary word in an email headline is less space for the sell. So, basically, I'd say I wouldn't put "press release." Patrick Goss, editor in chief, TechRadar

Beautiful Keith from Tucson, AZ – Verified Buyer Finally finishing up the kitchen remodel and the sink looks beautiful. Good Quality and a perfect fit. The faucet is a monster tho. Since we bought the sink and faucet as a set I will comment on both. The faucet is beautifully designed and high quality. It is just absolutely huge. If your kitchen has the look and room and design where a giant industrial restaraunt sized faucet would look okay then you'll be good. Still trying to decide if our kitchen can work with it. We had no idea from the photos and even the pieces in the box that it would be so big after it was all set up. |
This is the highlight of my kitchen! Lindsay from Pensacola, FL – Verified Buyer Though with 5k in granite, a 5k Viking stove, beautiful tile backsplash, I would have never thought my sink would get me the complements it has! It is very heavy duty as is the faucet! I have three kids and one on the way and it is holding up nicely to their little hands! My husband cut my cabinets and framed my new sink in an afternoon. There is really not a bad thing that I can say about it aside from the fact that it gets more complements than my pride stove! :P |
Looks and quality! Juan from Weston, FL – Verified Buyer After tons of researched I decided on this faucet. I haven't installed it yet, but wanted to give others a few insights. The faucet is HUGE. I was aware of this but wow does it look bigger in person. Not a bad thing, but just make sure you know what you're getting. The faucet looks outstanding and the build quality just feels great. So far I'm very happy with the purchase and will update in a month or so. |
Exceptional value! Juan from Weston, FL I haven't installed the sink yet so I'll update my review at that point. I just wanted others to know that the sink appears to be of very high quality. The finish, depth, build quality seem top notch and I'm very happy I decided to go with this particular one. All the accessories that came with it are also very useful and appreciated. Not sure there is a better value than this out there. |
Awesome buy James from Longmont, CO This sink is incredible. Couldn't have found a better buy and the quality is great. Very upscale look and bargain price. |
Top End James from Longmont, CO – Verified Buyer Very pleased with the look and quality of this faucet. Really rounds out the total look of our new kitchen. Phenomenal buy. |
farmhouse sink Janet from Billings, MT Just as described. We haven't installed yet as we are just building our house but of fine quality |
This product matches the description and more! Brandi from Evansville, IN – Verified Buyer This sink is awesome! It is large and well made. I am remodeling a house and can't wait to see it in. The faucet is large and a statement piece. But looks commercial grade and cool, with great features. |
Oh Happy Day! judith from cat spring, TX – Verified Buyer This set has everything except a soap dispenser. It is a grand farmhouse set. Pros: good value, excellent set up. Cons: I have not found any cons. |
Great quality Robert from Houston, TX – Verified Buyer Absolutely love this sink and faucet combination. Solid quality. Looked at several 'lesser' models - and glad we spent the extra dollars for this. |

These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews' member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: October, 2014 - $18.00
The price reflects Passport America rate. Campground is old with old trailers and some permanent residents. There was even a burned out trailer and many that had seen better days. The bathrooms are small and dirty. There is a laundry with two washers and dryers. The sites are gravel and pretty level. This place is OK if you need quick access off I-40 for a good night's sleep and you are fully contained. Otherwise, my advice would be to move on. The Wi-Fi worked well, but there is no cable TV. We camped at Sherman Oaks Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: July, 2014 - $33.00
Very old and run down. Web site says they take Passport America and other discount clubs, but when we asked they said not on a holiday weekend. The web side did not say they excluded holiday weekends. We only stayed one night. We walked by the shower and bathroom area and the doors were open. We did not go in as it looked very dirty and run down. Many of the sites have permanent old RV's and trailers on them. There is a pool and small playground area for kids and a laundry room but way over priced for what you get. We will not come back again. We camped at Sherman Oaks Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: March, 2014 - $36.00
Great park but I had to move between sites to get one with a working 30A box. And, when I hooked up, there was a loud noise from the inside circuit cabinet and smoke rolled out of the entrance box. After disconnecting and airing out the inside, I moved to a different site with no problem but the damage had been done. A Very large voltage spike ruined my AC/DC converter (capacitor exploded) in a 5 year old Intelli-Power. Camp manager gave me a substitute DC charger, was sympathetic and said to contact the owner. No response a week later. We camped at Sherman Oaks Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: October, 2013 - $18.00
Comments are the same as for the last entry. Only good for an overnight stay. If 40' MH the park is tight, but you can make it. Park is not worth the $18 PA rate. Would not stop again. We camped at Sherman Oaks Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2012 - $18.00
Rate is the Passport rate. About 4 miles off of I-81. Maybe 2 miles from I-40. Lots of noise from I-40. Strictly a level place to park for the night. Self service. You arrive and call the owner. He gives you instructions how much and where to pay. You open the gate and let yourself in. Close the gate behind you. Lots of permanent residents. Good electricity. We camped at Sherman Oaks Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: November, 2011 - $33.00
We had called the campsite several times to make sure they could accommodate us, it was difficult to get them on the phone which should have been the first clue. We arrived to a completely empty, closed for the season site and via phone told to pick any site and put our money in an envelope. The bathrooms were closed for the season and electricity at the site shut off, contrary to what we had been previously promised. Whoever was on the other end of the phone made it clear he had no intention of coming over to help us, he didn't care whether we stayed or left, so we left. I can appreciate that this late in the year and at a Passport America rate we shouldn't expect much, but this campground outright lied to us. So far we have traveled near 50 campgrounds in 6 months and we put this at the bottom because if management. We camped at Sherman Oaks Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2011 - $17.00
This is strictly an "overnight" campground. Everything is done over the phone and honesty method. A rolling fence is in place. You have to let yourself in an out. The water quality was so-so. It was close enough to the highway to feel secure. We were the only campers there for the night. Plan your exit if you are there in a longer unit. One site is best to pull through and around. We camped at Sherman Oaks Campground in a Truck Camper.

Comments about Nady CT-6 6-Way Cable Tester:
The Nady CT-6 is, at first glance, a well thought out design and rugged looking tester. It offers a wide variety of cable tests including trs/ts, xlr, banana, midi and rca jacks. It utilizes a 9v battery which lights up various led's showing continuity. Unfortunately, several of the inputs are plastic and on the trs and xlr inputs, actually pulled the jack out of each one (screws stripped right through the casing) and not because the lock wasn't disengaged. Perhaps if the jacks were permanently glued or welded in I would give this a higher grade.

Oamanthai checkpoint to open five days[TamilNet, Friday, 24 August 2007, 21:15 GMT]International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) Kil'inochchi residential representative Katya Lawrence had informed Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) administration that the entry/exit point between LTTE controlled Vanni and GoSL controlled Vavuniyaa town will be open for public for five days in a week, according to LTTE's NGO and U. N. Liaison Officer M. Pavarasan. Public will be able to use the gateway to Vanni from 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m, Monday to Friday, weekly. "We welcome the effort of the ICRC which has helped to increase the number of days from three to five for the use of the public. As we had requested earlier, the check point should be open all days of the week to ease the critical situation in the Vanni related to the transport of essential goods to Vanni people," Pavarasan said. Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) Thursday discussed the operation of the only entry/exit point between the LTTE controlled Vanni and GoSL controlled Vavuniyaa town. LTTE officials said they had asked the ICRC to keep the Oamanthai checkpoint open for seven days a week to enable the people of Vanni to get provisions and other commodities uninterrupted. The request was made when LTTE representatives met Toon Vandenhove, Sri Lankan Country Director of ICRC and Katya Lawrence, the resident Representative of ICRC in Ki'linochchi, Thursday. Meanwhile, Ki'linochchi Government Agent N. Vethanayagan had expressed concern in the monthly District level meeting held August 14 regarding the urgent need to open the Oamanthai check point on all days of the week to facilitate easy flow of essential goods into Vanni.

Smooth and well organised embarkation, nice welcome from staff as we entered the ship. The cabin was spacious with ample storage, we had a wardrobe each with space for shoes & suitcases, the cabin was clean & tidy and the beds were really comfortable, the cabin steward made up our beds and cleaned the cabin whilst we were at lunch & dinner.
The highlight for me was the standard and quality of the food served at all meals, our table waiter (Danzil)was first class friendly & very professional what we really liked was that the staff had time to stop and chat unlike the P&O staff on our last cruise who were surly and too busy to care.The soups served at lunch & dinner were hot extremely tasty and well presented, the meals were good sized portions and were always hot and well presented (unlike the lukewarm effort one gets with P&O).
Entertainment wasn't always to our choice but the 3 shows we did choose to watch were excellent, I would say that the majority of passengers More
went to most of the nightly shows. The weather wasn't always good enough to have a sail away party when leaving ports but the one we did have was great fun and we were even given complimentary rum punch unlike P&O who charge an average of ã3.50 per drink.
Disembarkation was as smooth as embarkation we were driving out of Dover within 1 hour of getting up and we even had time for breakfast!
We will certainly be going with Fred.Olsen again they seem to have everything right, the ships are not the huge liners that one sees these days but for quality of service, food and the right balance of all day entertainment small is definitely beautiful. Less

Cabin review: E4133
Outside cabin: 2 Good sized wardrobes tea & coffee making facilities, comfortable good sized beds, bit of engine noise in and out of ports as we were situated on the aft part of the ship (Atlantic deck 4). The shower was good and the bathroom was larger than other ships we have been on.
