Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The Communist Part of India (Marxist) and the Communist Party of India will boycott the Governor's address.
In a joint press release, CPI (M) State secretary N.Varadarajan and CPI State secretary D. Pandian said the decision was taken to focus attention on issues affecting the people and to condemn the "autocratic" ways of the AIADMK Government.
The parties said that after the floods, they demanded that the Government set up all-party coordination committees to help in relief distribution. This was not done. The Government's "wrong approach" resulted in a stampede that claimed many lives in the city.
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the Pattali Makkal Katchi earlier decided to boycott the proceedings, since it was being held on Bhogi day.

I happened to visit an ICICI bank counter after a long time. I had touched upon this the last time, but now it appears as if something drastic would need to be put in place for ICICI to manage its customers. The bank counter was as crowded as any railway ticket booking counter. The housing loan department was also packed. "Sir, Saturdays are like this", said a helpful staffer.
ICICI has a large user base in the cities - esp Bangalore. It also has the largest ATM network in India, but apparently they are not enough. (Again, no data - just that there are a few ATMs in and around and all of them are crowded at almost all times of the day - nights are not the best time to take money out of an ATM) So the banks are crowded, ATMs have a perennial queue outside and customers think that ICICI does not bother about its customers. ICICI got around crowds by using ATMs (Citi is a good example), their executives and their web channel, but even that is not enough; still far too many have to come down to branches.
Designing with crowds in mind is very difficult. The moment there are crowds, you lose the swank look. Coupled with the fact that real estate prices are not exactly down, banks lose the flexibility to have big spacious branches that lets crowds appear sparse. This has given rise to services like private banking which are for elite (with big deposits) customers. What could also happen is that other banks with branches near offices, homes could capture some market since "they are not crowded" and "convenient". Also, banks offer executives who can come home and get work done - these virtual "branches" of execs are far cheaper to maintain than a full fledged branch.
Perhaps the solution lies in simplicity. Simplifying bank procedures? Making bank visits as less required as possible? A simpler and more effective call center? As Big Bazaar, Indian railways, Air Deccan, McDonalds, temples like Tirupati have discovered in physical as well as virtual lives, managing crowds (especially on high volume days) can be quite a challenge.

When there are too many

Interesting concept, worthy of a Dd post, no? particularly if you approach it as you have done "designing with crowds in mind is very difficult"
this issue, I'm sure, will come up again and again as more services and retail outlets and showrooms are designed for the more populous places on earth like India and China.
do we need to go back to good old OR and Queueing theory ? - 9:24 AM, September 25, 2006
ICICI Bank does not have the largest ATM network today . The link is an old one dating to 2001. The Bank , currently , with the largest network is SBI with around 4500 atms compared to around 2000 for ICICI Bank.
The problem of crowd control is lost on all these new generation banks. They expected , that most of the Indian customers would adopt to the new tech savvy operations, but most Indian customers would still prefer to visit a bank for most mundane things like passbook updation etc. As you have written , simplifying bank procedures is the need of the hour. - 5:13 PM, September 25, 2006

One of the most famous original paintings that express human suffering in modern art, is the painting below titled 'The Scream'.
Munch was a true leader of the avante-garde art scene. He approached life differently
But as the artist grew older, Edvard Munch felt insanity slowly encroaching and infecting his mind
His personal suffering came in a propensity towards madness
Edvard Munch experienced painfully terrifying nightmares and evil visions of the macabre, which significantly influenced his original paintings.
He suffered a mental breakdown when the anxiety and hallucinations became overwhelmingly intense.
Point 1. The creative process of producing art has the potential power to heal mental and emotion problems.
Creativity is turning dark painful nights, into bright beautiful days, full of creative inspiration.
But it takes time. Creativity is all about perseverance and courage to face the pain, confront the core issues and then move forward with greater understanding.
When someone faces suffering and deals successfully with personal pain, their confidence and creativity flourishes
Like Edvard Munch, after psychiatric therapy, his mental suffering began to dissipate and his original paintings returned to a positive direction.
Creativity is often the transfer or joining of two extremes in life
This post shows how to turn personal pain into creative inspiration, just like the giants of modern art, such as Edvard Munch, Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gaughin.
Point 2. Suffering helps creative people develop wisdom, strength and perseverance.
Confucius, the famous Chinese philosopher, once said there are 3 main methods by which people learn wisdom.
1. By reflection – which is the noblest
2. By imitation – which is the easiest
3. By experience – which is the most bitter
All the major religions have much to say about human suffering.
Most draw the conclusion that suffering is an inescapable fact of life
However, if handled correctly, the rewards are great
In fact, the Bible states that human beings are destined to suffer
But here's the up side…
Point 3. Sadness has a refining influence upon us.
Point 4. After a time of incubation, personal suffering can result in liberty and a passionate outburst of creative self-expression.
But we need to suffer wisely – then it becomes an empowering experience. Helping us to move forward, rather than wallowing in grief and self-pity forever.
Many great artists experience bouts of debilitating depression and melancholia like Vincent Van Gogh.
Also, the influential French artist, Paul Gaugin (1848–1903) at one point attempted suicide, due to suffering from severe bouts of hopelessness and despair.
Point 5. A wonderful truth about the creative spirit – it can flourish despite adversity.
Creativity is often born from personal pain and can be a powerful, emotionally rich form of self-expression.
The process of working through issues to express suffering succinctly is an invaluable healing experience for artists and creative people.
Many great masterpieces in the history of art, come from the artist's experience of suffering
Creativity is all about communicating to an audience that can easily relate to an idea, in this case suffering
Michelangelo (1475–1564) also struggled with depression and serious mental illness. In fact the effects of his mental disturbance is evidenced in many of his original paintings.
Here's what psychologists have discovered about finding relief from non-physical pain…
Point 6. Helping other people, who might be suffering more, brings miraculous healing and rejuvenation to the spirit.
Sensitive creative people need a successful strategy for dealing with suffering in their lives. Otherwise, the pain can become overwhelming.
The great modern artist Paul Cezanne once said, "A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art".
The famous Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung, taught about humanities collective unconscious. He proclaimed that tapping into the unconscious adds to the richness and character of a person's creative output.
Therefore, people understand an archetypal storyline more easily because it's common to all of humanity. Many successful movies are developed upon this premise, because it enhances the power of a creative message.
Most people understand and have experienced before the painful feelings associated with human suffering.
Final Point: Thankfully creative people are not alone, we're working through the difficulties of life together.

Salmonella bacteria, a common cause of food-borne disease, invade an immune cell. Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, predominantly motile enterobacteria. They are chemoorganotrophs, obtaining their energy from oxidation and reduction reactions using organic sources, and are facultative anaerobes. Salmonella is closely related to the Escherichia genus and are found worldwide in cold- and warm-blooded animals (including humans), and in the environment. They cause illnesses like typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and food-borne illness. They enter the digestive tract of humans and other mammals in contaminated food and cause abdominal pains and violent diarrhea.

Who better to review a movie about porn than a porn star? That's why we got the beautiful Allie Haze to share… Watch Now »
The visual effects department had to do a pretty bang-up job to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look even remotely similar to a young yippee ki-yaying mother-f---er Bruce Willis in Rian Johnson's time-hopping "Looper," but since Hollywood's baddest, baldest ass-kicker was blessed with three daughters and no sons in real life, there wasn't much of a choice. Sure, all that pain and suffering ultimately paid off, but there are some people who've got it way, way easier. Get More »
Nicholas Sparks has a well-deserved reputation as the master of the romantic drama, thanks to films like "The Notebook" and new release "Safe Haven." Last year's movie "The Vow" has everything you would expect from a Nicholas Sparks film: hot actors (Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams), a wife in a coma, lingering amnesia and the joy of love rediscovered. Just one thing -- somehow, amazingly, Sparks didn't actually write it.
Yeah, we're surprised, too. So in honor of "The Vow," we hereby present our list of the Top Five Movies You'd Think Were Written by Nicholas Sparks. Get More »
"I don't know if I can pick just one; there are so many great movies, and I love them all for different reasons. But there are definitely some that stand out.
"'Lawrence of Arabia' is definitely near the top of the list. I love Peter O'Toole and how epic it is. It draws you in and that story becomes the world while you are watching it. The landscapes, and the story, it just really stands out. I've watched it, I don't know how many times.
"I also love 'It Happened One Night' because of how romantic it is. I mean, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert — what an amazing pair.
"And then there's 'Cry-Baby,' directed by John Waters. It was my absolute favorite when I was a little girl. For a 12-year-old girl, Johnny Depp was just so dreamy! I couldn't get over it. His performance was incredible."
Leelee Sobieski appears in "Branded," in theaters this weekend, and will next be seen in the comedy "The Last Film Festival." She also stars on the CBS drama, "NYC 22."

KKK: 4 White Supremacists Indicted On Federal Hate Crime Charges For Beating Black Man At A Houston Bus Stop
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Catch Fade, KKK, NewsGlad these racist fizzucks got charged:
What allegedly happened at a Houston bus stop is now being prosecuted as a hate crime. Four white men are accused of attacking a black man. Late one night last August, Yondell Johnson was sitting at a bus stop waiting for the bus when he saw four men approach him, throw a few racial epithets around, and attacked.
"It was like I couldn't believe this was happening, and I thought I could be dying especially when they had me on the ground," said Johnson. On Thursday, Johnson says justice is finally being served because the four suspects — Charles Cannon, Michael McLaughlin, Brian Kerstetter and Joseph Staggs — have been indicted on federal hate crime charges, meaning that the motive behind the attack was Johnson's race.
"I knew it still happened, but right here in my own back yard — not really," said Johnson. The indictment by the federal government is a result of a multi-month investigation involving the FBI, the Houston Police Department and other local authorities. It is significant because it's only the third time the hate crime statute has been used since it passed Congress in 2009.
"The message is not only is this a new tool for law enforcement to use, but the community needs to know the law enforcement people here in Houston are willing to use it," said Stephen Morris with the FBI. Investigators say three of the men have white supremacist gang tattoos. The four suspects were arrested at the scene following a 911 call. If convicted, each could face up to 10 years in prison.
All four are already facing charges in Harris County, but for Johnson this day is significant. "I'm just glad the justice is coming to an end, and justice is finally served," said Johnson.
All four men are charged with violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. It was passed in October 2009 and it expanded a previous federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. The act was the first federal law to extend legal protections to transgender persons.

Dry It Yourself: Home-made backpacking food healthier, cheaper
And they're expensive. So Porter, a lifelong hiker and backpacker from Kirkland, started making her own. She also climbs, and backpacking and climbing is hungry work.
Porter teaches classes on her technique. Here's Porter's basic system. It's simple and affordable, and you'll end up with something you really want to eat on the trail.
Here's how it works.
1. Cook something you like to eat.
2. Add more spice than you usually would. Dehydration saps a bit of the flavor from spices.
3. Chop up any big pieces, or give it a whirl in a food processor. You want pieces about a quarter-inch or smaller. Larger pieces don't rehydrate well.
4. Stick the food in a dehydrator until it's good and dry. Usually overnight is sufficient. Crumble the food and check for any moisture, especially in the larger pieces. If in doubt that your food is dry, give it more time. It is impossible to over dehydrate food.
5. Slip a serving into a plastic freezer bag, label it, date it and store it in a cool, dry place.
Porter says she tends to do her dehydrating in the spring. She'll look ahead at her plans for the year and calculate how much food she might need.
Say she plans to be out for 12 days: She'll plan to prepare meals for that long. She makes items such as pineapple oatmeal for breakfast. For a snack, she might have olive tapenade, a delicious, flavor-packed treat that would feel quiet decadent on the trail. For dinner, it could be black bean mole or maybe tomato lentil soup.
Preparing the food is simple. All you really need is hot water and a cozy (an insulated pouch to help your food rehydrate more quickly. If you don't want to carry a stove, you could rehydate your food with cold water, but it will take much longer.
You would want to start rehydrating dinner in the early afternoon, for example.
Here's how Porter suggests rehydrating the food.
1. Slip your bag of food inside a cozy (you can make one yourself).
2. Pour enough boiling water into the bag to cover the food, plus an inch or two. Add more water for soups.
3. Close your cozy up and let it set for about 15 minutes, depending upon the type of food.
When you're done, you're left with no dishes to do, and only a small plastic bag to carry out as trash.
- Avoid fatty foods. They don't dehydrate well and will go bad more quickly.
- Test your recipes at home before taking them on the trail.
- Food safety considerations: Fully cook food before dehydrating, make sure it's fully dry and store it in a cool, dry place. Insect pests or mold are the most likely problems. Inspect your food before eating it.
- Allow dehydrated food to cool before bagging it. Put as much as you will use for one meal per bag.
- Label and date your bags.
- Meals will last about a year to a year and a half.
- Get creative and don't work too hard. You don't have to do all the cooking. Store bought spaghetti sauce, for example, is just fine. Cook pasta as usual, coat with sauce, and dehydrate it all.
- Pack a small container of chili flakes and generic seasoning to fix any underspiced food.
- Use freezer bags. Pack extras in case one is damaged.
- A long-handled spoon makes stirring and eating easier.
- A standard portion size is about 2 1/2- to 3-cups of food before dehydrating.
- To dehydrate liquids, such as soup, spread it on a tray liner or parchment paper.
- Side-mounted dehydrators will dry foods more quickly, especially if you need to use a tray liner.
- Don't have a dehydrator? Ask around to see if you can borrow one. Or split the cost of buying one with other families.
Buy pipe insulation from a home improvement store. It's like shiny bubble wrap. Cut the insulation slightly taller and twice as wide as the freezer bag you plan to use. Fold it in half and tape the edges, leaving the top open to slip in your freezer bag. If you cut the front edge a bit shorter, you can fold the top in like an envelope. If you'd prefer, you can also heat up your food in your cooking pot. Simply make a cozy to fit your pot.
Olive tapenade
- 1 cup green olives with pimientos
- 1 cup pitted black olives
- 1 cup artichoke hearts
- 1 jalapeno pepper, half seeded
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
On the trail: Add cool water and let rehydrate for 5 to 10 minutes. Use less water than you would for most recipes.

That looks fantastic. A beautiful piece of work. When are you off to the lake?

Probably tomorrow, after we get a PFD* for my best friend and partner. She'll want to paddle too.
PFD = Personal Flotation Device, a stupid name created by some governmental bureaucrat. Life Vest/Jacket wasn't a good enough name, and since the government has so much of our money to spend, they do it this way; making up new names for things that already have perfectly good names. Even the Coast Guard boating safety instructors giggle at the stupidity.

At long last, you must feel a great sense of accomplishment Bob. It was a pleasure watching the build. Thanks for taking the time to share it and document it. Enjoy it for many years!

People like me will amble over and check her out everytime you put in. Just beautiful.

Thanks Jameel. We'll see about the sense of accomplishment tomorrow when the boat gets wet.
I think of you, and your "Glide," every time I bend down to "have a discussion" with the sticky parallel guide on the leg vice of my bench.
BTW, your bench one year later looks fabulous. I use mine differently and it shows quite a few battle scars. Yet, I'm probably as happy with mine as you are with yours. It does the job very well.

EXCLUSIVE:Bob Howell Out at ASU, Communications Center Not HappeningAlabama State University's proposed on campus state-of-the-art center for communications students is no longer happening. You may remember the fanfare when Alabama State University announced its new communications and technology center in 2012. ASU initially wanted to buy the old Alabama Public Television building to create a state-of-the-art hands-on communications center. But APT decided not to sell the building so officials with ASU made plans to put the center on campus in the old bookstore.
Former television anchor Bob Howell was hired to direct the center with a salary of 187 thousand dollars per year plus benefits. Here's what he said in August about how the bookstore would be transformed. "It will be studios and newsrooms for everybody. Offices, edit suites, a full radio and television facility for the students that are in the communications department." But now, those plans are dead. And Howell tells us he's no longer with the university in any capacity. Last week, Alabama News Network asked ASU president Gwendolyn Boyd about the matter. "As I said on my first day here, we're examining everything," she said. "We have to look at all of our practices and policies and procedures because that is what all of these reports and audits are all about. So everything, I said on the first day, everything is on the table." Executive Vice President John Knight says university officials are trying to be financially responsible. "Once APT decided they did not want to sell the building after making a commitment that the building would be sold to Alabama State, the university had to rethink it's mission in terms of how far we could go as an investment in a center such as this." Students, who were eager to learn in the new communications center say the news is disappointing. "That was the only reason I chose Alabama State, because of the program," says freshman Denise Rozier. "It's at the University of Alabama, Auburn, A&M and we should get it as well," says student Cedric Mahaffey. Although plans for the center are dead, Knight says officials are always looking ahead. "We look forward to, hopefully at some point, to having the financial resources to be able to continue." Alabama Public Television officials decided not to sell their building because they say they still have use for it. |

Difference Between the EBU R-128 Meter Recommendation and Human Subjective Loudness Perception
The vast loudness span of broadcast sound can be reduced by the use of loudness meters. In an ideal case, the measured and the perceived loudness would be equal. A loudness meter fulfilling the EBU R-128 recommendation was investigated for its correspondence with perceived loudness. Several sound stimuli with large loudness differences representing five different types of broadcast program material were normalized to have equal meter measured loudness level. Subjects listened to pairwise presentations of the normalized stimuli, which they subsequently set to have equal perceived loudness. The settings were recorded and analyzed. The results show that the normalization yields both equal as well as different perceived loudness between program types. The maximum difference was ±2.82 dB.

Two years of work goes into clearing the sand-trap in channel leading to the port
VISAKHAPATNAM: The "island'' formed on the Ramakrishna beach here last week grabbed everyone's attention.
The formation was a result of the dredging taken up by the Dredging Corporation of India (DCI) for the Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) to clear the sand-trap in the channel in the Bay leading to the port.
In the dredging taken up in the last two years, the process adapted was pumping out the deposits in a rainbow-shaped jet. The sand was carried to the land with the flow of the waves. While clearing the channel for the port to facilitate better movement of vessels, with the sand being carried to the beach it doubles as a beach nourishment project.
Over the last several years, the beach has been undergoing erosion and nourishment now will result in restoration of sand level.
A first
For the first time, the DCI has taken up dredging by using a floating pipeline. After dredging at the Dolphin's Nose area in the sea, the sand is deposited by a 250-metre pipeline on the beach. Sources said the method was effective. The island formed on the Ramakrishna Beach is of 300 X 300 metre dimension displacing 5-metre deep water, they elaborated.
The dredging by DCI's D 17 dredger began on March 1. It is likely to continue till the month-end.
The sand-trap is of the magnitude of 4.5 lakh to 5 lakh cubic metres and the effort will be to dredge the maximum and pump it on to the beach using pipes. The places for pumping sand are decided by the VPT and are also based on the suitability for location of the dredger taken into account.

Explore Berlin and Brandenburg Berlin Potsdam Gedenkstätte Sachsenhausen Rheinsberg The Märkische Schweiz Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve and Unteres Odertal Nationalpark The Spreewald Share The Brandenburg Gate looms over the ornamental gardens of Pariser Platz, from which the grand leafy boulevard Unter den Linden, or "beneath the lime trees", runs east. The trees line its central island and the first saplings were planted by Friedrich Wilhelm, the Great Elector, in the seventeenth century, to mark the route from his palace to the hunting grounds in the Tiergarten. It gradually became the main thoroughfare of Imperial Berlin and site of many foreign embassies, yet after the war and until 1989 the western extremity of Unter den Linden led nowhere and, lined by infrequently visited embassies, the street had a strangely empty and decorative feel. Today the boulevard bustles with shops and cafés, though their presence is relatively muted.

Media affairs administrator for exciting short term paid project
Covent Garden- Contract type
- Temporary
- Posted
- 1158 days ago
I am bringing a groundbreaking court case over the next few months, which has already had widespread world media coverage, but needs more. My focus has to turn now, to preparing for winning the case, so I am looking for a media affairs administrator, to contact news desks, magazines, television stations, radio programmes, and other organizations by phone, build rapport, explaining the case briefly, and generating coverage and media invitations by emailing further details in order to generate the media exposure and maximum beneficial impact for a world debate on this important social issue.
A conscientious and enthusiastic telephone presence is essential, as well as a high standard of written English.
If you have full daytime availability from Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, for the next 4 weeks, and are prepared to work for a good cause on little more than the minimum wage, then please reply to this ad with your CV, and contact telephone number as soon as possible.
The interview and occasional subsequent planning meetings for the successful candidate will be in central London, but if you have a landline telephone number with a free local, national and International calls package available, then you will be able to work from your home primarily if you choose.
You will be compiling a media contacts database as you go - so experience in this area would be a bonus, but is not essential.
A background in news, public relations, social affairs, politics, education or media would be beneficial, but not as essential as enthusiasm and common sense.

I like B best. The scarlet bars at the top and bottom will stand out much stronger in a smaller image, such as for an e-book icon. Also, in a print cover, those red bars help to frame the artwork in the middle, working with the red within the artwork itself to make that art POP out at the viewer. The white text also stands out more on a red background.
But I'm just a former publications designer. What would I know? ;-)

Link of the week - DIY grid summer school |
Missed out on attending a grid summer school this year? Why not study at home using the teaching material from the Joint EGEE and SEE-GRID Summer School on Application Support, held 25-30 June in Budapest, Hungary, and organized and hosted by MTA SZTAKI, the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The teaching material includes lectures, slides and notes for the hands-on practicals, originally presented by EGEE, SEE-GRID and ICEAGE representatives. The school aimed to introduce potential users to EGEE and SEE-GRID grid technologies, and to introduce methods for application development on EGEE grid networks. Its primary focus was on ways that end-users can apply gLite middleware to operate large-scale distributed applications on top of inter-organizational grids. Twenty-two people attended the school, including 17 from European academic institutes and universities, and five from the University of Seoul. During dedicated sessions, the attendees' own legacy applications were ported onto EGEE. Three applications were successfully ported during the gridification sessions: 1. Time evolution of spherically symmetric nonlinear fields: from the Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Hungary. The application was ported onto EGEE as a parametric study workflow in P-GRADE that uses storage elements and file catalogs. 2. Simulation of pellet-plasma interaction: from the Eötvös Lóránd University, Hungary. The application was also ported onto EGEE as a parametric study job with P-GRADE that uses storage elements and file catalogs. 3. HYP3D code, used in quantum mechanics theory: from the University of Rennes and CNRS, France. The application works with large data files and requires large memory on worker nodes. Two of three jobs were ported during the school with command line tools and JDL. The remaining job will be ported with the help of the EGEE application porting support group. Introductory and report slides on the gridified applications are also available. - Gergely Sipos, MTA SZTAKI, Computer and Automation Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences |

What happened? According to Denver Metro Crime Stoppers, a man entered the residence by what's described as "unknown means" -- that could include breaking in or gaining access through an unlocked door or window -- and proceeded to the spot where the woman was sleeping. She awoke to him touching her.
When the shocked victim confronted the man, he fled. But before he split, she appears to have gotten a decent look at him.
The suspect is described as a white or Hispanic male of medium height and build, dark hair, a goatee and bushy eyebrows. He wore a white T-shirt with some kind of logo on it, plus cargo shorts, off-white running shoes and tube socks folded down to his ankles.
Here's a larger version of the suspect sketch provided by the Denver Police Department:
If you recognize this guy, you're encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867). A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered in the case.

Cult Nails Let's Get Dirty Nail Lacquer
Cult Nails Let's Get Dirty Nail Lacquer ($12.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "wax finish taupe." It's a mauve-ish taupe with a very faint shimmer that is barely visible if the polish is applied on its own, and then the shimmer is more noticeable if a top coat is applied. It has a waxy or rubbery finish–mostly matte but not a chalky, flat matte. Chanel Frenzy is browner and a cream, so it doesn't have the wax finish. Barielle Belly Dance is very similar if Let's Get Dirty has a top coat layered over it.
Let's Get Dirty is opaque after two coats of polish, and it had a slightly thick consistency, but thanks to the wax finish, the drying time is quicker than the average nail lacquer. It can pool a bit along the edges if you aren't careful, due to the thicker formula. I like that it has a versatile finish, because a top coat really does bring out the shimmer and gives it a different look. I usually get a full week of wear with very minor tip wear and no chipping with Cult Nails' formula.
The Glossover
Let's Get Dirty
It's a fun finish, and it works well with a top coat for those who prefer a shinier finish over something more matte. I also appreciated that the more matte finish did not emphasize ridges or my nails' natural texture. | |

Caribbean Princess Cruise Review by bcmiami: A great cruise

A great cruise
We signed up for this cruise less than a month before the cruise left Fort Lauderdale. Our travel agent, Avoya, (the first time we have used them) did not give us the correct information & therefore we had some surprises when we boarded.
We had a guaranteed balcony cabin rate rather than specifying a cabin when we booked because it saved us a couple of hundred dollars. I don't think I'll do that again! We had what I considered the worst cabin location in the class, the cabin closest to the bow of the ship. That meant long walks(this is a huge ship) every time we had to go to or leave our cabin. It also meant that our balcony was only partially covered.
The food was not spectacular. It was not even as good as the best ships on which we sailed previously. It was OK. The pizza was excellent, the burgers were very good. The specialty restaurants were sold out before we could make our reservations.
OK that's it on the bad part of the cruise!
We had visited More
Curacao & Aruba before so we knew what we wanted to do ashore. We did it & enjoyed it.
From the time we embarked to the time we disembarked we had the finest service we have ever had on any of our 11 previous cruises. From the staff that emptied the trash to the Captain, everyone went out of their way to be sure we had a great experience.
Our cabin steward was there every time we needed him. The cabin was made up promptly every day. We asked for extra towels when we saw him for the first time & never had to ask again.
On the Lido Deck, the waiters went out of their way to get my wife the special tea from the specialty area by the dining room.
The Maitre 'D in the dining room made sure that I had my food prepared so that it did not create allergy problems for me. Our bartenders (yes we had one particular bar that we really enjoyed)had fabulous senses of humor & prepared our drinks just as we enjoyed them.
To me, this service is much more important than having food that is only OK. That's what made this cruise so wonderful. We had superb service, met nice people & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
I am planning our next cruise - probably for our anniversary - & it will be on Princess again in all likelihood. Less

Cabin review: BBC101
Cabin C101: Firs cabin at the starboard side on the 10th(Caribbean) deck so it was quiet. The cabin itself was pretty much what you find on most ships. It was tight but it worked & after 10 previous cruises it's pretty much what I expected. Location was terrible because of how much we had to walk to get anywhere. The balcony was spacious but partially exposed to the balconies on the higher decks so that privacy was an issue for me.

Editors' Review
+For those who like their customization in-house, the Avant Browser's latest update might appeal to you. Built on an IE-rendering engine, Avant takes off in a different direction--IE if it were being produced by a small firm instead of Microsoft.
The browser is sufficiently fast, preloaded with two dozen similar skins as well as tabbed browsing and modular toolbars that let you move around and hide the Status bar, Toolbar, Search window, and navigation controls. The Menu bar, though, is counterintuitively pinned to the upper-right corner, and icons for proprietary functions, such as an in-page search term highlighting toggle, aren't instantly comprehensible.
Avant can save personalized data online, making bookmarks and form content accessible from any machine. Around the same size as Firefox, Avant includes many features that are available to Firefox users only through plug-ins--such as automatic form fillers. The Full Screen view autohides all menu bars, a nice touch, but certain plug-ins--notably Flash--didn't work on Windows Vista.
Avant is a good browser with some nice built-in features and interface-customization options, but the lack of extensibility and Vista problems don't help. We recommend it to users who want a Microsoft-based engine but think that Internet Explorer 7 is a pain.

I came across this recent article from the Wall Street Journal, Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior, a hilarious and frightening depiction of Chinese parenting styles. At times, it's hard to distinguish the author's wry humor from her actual beliefs with parenting.
In any case, if the article is a measuring stick for good Chinese mothering, I'm a terrible one. I was raised by a wonderfully non-Chinese Chinese mother, and am grateful for that. I was encouraged to work hard and strive for excellence, and at the same time never believed that my value or worth came from my performance. I never played piano or flute, and didn't take SAT prep classes during elementary school. Instead, I had the freedom to choose my own friends and activities based on my unique passions. I chose ballet, soccer, art, theatre (a Chinese parent's worst nightmare), and later, a career in full-time ministry (a Chinese parent's worst nightmare multiplied by at least a thousand). My parents taught me to learn from my mistakes, admit to weakness and fault, make personal decisions and face their natural consequences. Along the way, I always knew that my parents loved me and wanted the best for me.
I firmly believe in parenting with encouragement, nurturing, and freedom (when appropriate, of course), rather than shame and scare tactics. Sorry to my son and other future children...you'll just have to receive guilt trips and torture practices elsewhere.
On that note, how about a Chinese mom recipe? My grandmother frequently makes these Chinese pretzels for holidays and family gatherings. With precision and dedication, she labors with love for hours so her family can enjoy these for a snack or dessert. They are light and crunchy and slightly sweet, and every one of her ten grandchildren savor each and every one. She passed down her recipe and skills to my mom, who then passed them on to me. The recipe requires a Chinese pretzel iron (or rosette iron), which is a metal mold on a wooden handle. These can be found in kitchen supply shops or Amazon (seriously, what doesn't Amazon sell?). My first batch turned out okay, but I had a hard time getting the pretzels to slide off the iron. I was reassured by my mom that in time, my iron would become seasoned and produce better pretzels. Hopefully, I'll hone my Chinese pretzel skills, and make them for my children like a good Chinese mother.
