Norwegian Star
Cruise Ship
Launched in 2001, the 2,348-passenger Norwegian Star was the first NCL ship custom built for Freestyle Cruising, NCL's program that touts a variety of dining, cabin and entertainment options. Star was refurbished in February 2010 in Victoria, British Columbia. The two-week dry-dock focused mostly on cosmetic enhancements (carpets, upholstery, etc.) and engineering work, but the line also added a number of 54 cabins and suites, and enhanced Star's spaces for kids. Although this is a large vessel, the public areas are designed in such a way that makes many areas of the ship feel cozy and intimate. Most of the bars, lounges and restaurants are centrally located so you can just go steps from one to the other and have an immediate change in atmosphere.

The animals are enclosed in reproductions of their natural habitats and many have religious or ceremonial significance in Mayan lore.

Despite having been built sometime during the Early Classic Period (250-600), the walled city of Tulum did not gain true importance until the Late Post Classic Period (1200-1530). When the Spaniards arrived in the early sixteenth century, Tulum still operated as an important trading port. It is believed to be one of the last cities of the Mayan world to be abandoned after Spain's conquest.

Rides the Rockies 2014 Day 2: 95 miles of recovery from Winter Park to Steamboat Springs
The evening in Winter Park was to quote John Steinbeck. "I've lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate." You had better have loved weather while in Winter Park. We were one of the few people who stopped by the party as it started to rain, sleet and snow. Winter Park did a great job as they set out lawn chairs for people to watch live music and enjoy the Taste of Winter Park. Maybe if we lived in Seattle or Oregon we might be OK with cold and wet conditions after a day of climbing 10,000 feet. Many of us at the event didn't realize hundreds of people were stuck on Berthoud Pass waiting for buses to bring them down as the Colorado State Patrol shut down the descent due to snow and fog. We are thankful for the many levels of support we have on this ride.

Cost2drive widget tracks the real cost of driving
Type in your destination, and Cost2drive figures out your gas costs and CO2 emissions.
Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 08:32 PM
The good people at CostToDrive created a free widget for Earth Day that lets you learn the real costs of each car trip you take, both in terms of dollars and carbon.
You can select your make and model and, based on your ZIP code, the CostToDrive app will calculate an approximate quantity and cost of gasoline for the given vehicle. The goal is to help people gain a more intuitive understanding of how much gas they really use and hopefully to encourage them to drive more efficiently and maybe even take less trips.
For some tips on how to save 10 percent or more on your gas just through efficient driving techniques check out my article on gas savings no-brainers.

NEW YORK ( AdviceIQ) -- One of the most common questions I get: Should I wait until the market goes up before I make another contribution to my investment account?
The answer is no. You should be investing continuously, in fair weather and foul. Ongoing contributions to your 401(k), individual retirement account or other investment vehicle give you the best results over time.
Since April, the market has generally headed up, following a two-month slump. Given the unending turmoil in Europe, slowing growth in China, high unemployment in the U.S. and other troubles, it likely will slip again before too long.
No one, other than the very lucky, can time the market successfully. Trying to invest that way ignores a truth about markets: They go up, and they go down.In the grand scheme of things -- and some research that bears this out -- investing when you have the money provides a greater return historically than waiting until the market is up. So don't delay. No matter how many times you hear the thought, the truth of it shines through: Past returns are irrelevant, as they don't guarantee future results. Buying low sounds good, but feels scary, because that's the moment the news is the most worrisome. Indeed, at times panic fills the air. It feels as if there is less risk when things are going up. But that is when the risk is rising. The value of your most recent investment is more likely to go down after a prolonged uptrend. But investments made over the long term are likely to grow, despite periodic downdrafts. See my blog post

Mortal Kombat X moves forward with a snappier version of the previous game's fighting and some cool new characters, but the story and other features around the edges feel a bit rough in spots.

Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Some games offer alternate modes or specific sections of the storyline that involve arena combat, gladiator style.
Avatar Awards are items or clothing that are unlocked for Xbox Live avatars by completing certain tasks within the game.
Betrayal is when a person breaks the trust and faith that others have placed in them.
Because you'd never expect a banana to be an undercover cluster grenade.
It can't be helped; some game characters just don't know how to swim! This usually means automatic death as soon as they hit the water.
A point within the game whereby the game saves its current state whether it be for the purpose of a more convenient respawn point or a gameplay design (such as in racing).
Games with achievements for failing. For the purpose of this concept, any kind of 'achievement' is acceptable - this includes trophies or in-game accomplishments.
Computer games that recommend players use a controller, rather than a keyboard and mouse. These are most often side-scrolling platformers and action games.
Cooperative play in games allows humans to play together as a team to accomplish a task. Instead of playing against a human opponent, the team must defeat an AI.
Create-A modes allows the user to create the sports captain of their dreams, their own action hero, or the next Hulk Hogan of wrestling.
Currency has all forms in video games. It is used to buy characters, vehicles, weapons, and more.
Some games let players customize their character (or characters). Degree of customization may vary, with some games simply allowing to choose between different types of clothes, while others provide more detailed tinkering of features such as the distance between a character's eyes or hair color.
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.

At E3 2013, Microsoft announced their Games with Gold campaign. The campaign offered two downloadable games a month for free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers for a limited number of months. On October 18, 2013, Microsoft stated they were extending the promotion indefinitely.
A hub is the central location from which a player can venture out into different areas of a game. It is often used as a clever way of masking loading between levels or worlds.
Map Makers or Editors are built-in tools that allow the average gamer to tweak or fully customize a map of their own, with no mod or programming skills required.
"Indie" or "independently developed" games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
Instant death is a situation where the player-controlled character loses his life immediately.
The quickness of that demise is often a stark departure from the balance of power, and sometimes the rules, established by the developers during the rest of the game.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
King of the Hill is a popular game mode where the players have to stay in a designated area of a map to gain points. This mode is becoming increasingly popular in shooters.

Dana Unveils Hybrid Transmission for Off-Highway Market
Concept Drivetrain Technology Designed to Maximize Productivity While Decreasing Fuel Consumption, Emissions
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990903/DANA )
A concept transmission in the evaluation phase, the Spicer(R) TE-15HX is an electric parallel hybrid that features a dual power path transmission control system. This system continuously monitors operating conditions and selects the proper combination of diesel and electric power to optimize productivity while reducing fuel consumption, emissions, noise, and engine idling.
Emission control is a key consideration for manufacturers of off-highway equipment as they develop new vehicles to meet evolving regulations around the world, including the European Union's Stage III/IV emission standards and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Tier 4 emissions standards. As manufacturers adopt technologies similar to those used in on-highway trucks and buses, the EPA estimates that emissions from off-highway diesel engines will be reduced by more than 90 percent.
"Off-highway vehicles are the next frontier for hybrid technology, especially with the looming deadline for meeting Tier 4 emissions standards," said
Whenever possible, the TE-15HX control system disengages the diesel engine and supplies power generated by super capacitors for inching and other vehicle operations that require low energy consumption. It also provides power for lights, climate control systems, and other electrical accessories.
For light loads, the diesel engine works alone to power the vehicle while the electric device serves as a generator to efficiently charge the super capacitors for later use. Vehicle braking is also an important source of regenerative energy for recharging the capacitors. When additional tractive effort is required, the controller directs the electric device to function as a motor and provide a second source of power for added torque boost and faster take-off.

ELIZABETHTOWN — While many back-to-school shoppers are mourning the demise of the state's tax free weekend, one Bladen County business will still offer a tax-free weekend of sorts.
Ricky Leinwand, owner of Leinwand's Department Store in Elizabethtown, said that he will pay the sales taxes for his customer's purchases on the first weekend in August.
"It was such an important two days for us. I'm going to pay the taxes for my customers," said Leinwand.
He said the tax-free weekend had been as big as Black Friday for some businesses in North Carolina. Leinwand added that South Carolina and Virginia are still planning to offer a sales-tax holiday for back-to-school shopping. Also, according to reports, the state of Tennessee will be offering a tax-free holiday the first weekend in August and, according to WMC Action News 5 in Mississippi, that state decided to make the last weekend of July a tax-free holiday.
Leinwand said, "For some, back-to-school is very important for their businesses. To me it was a nice gesture for our small businesses."
He added that the state claims it lost revenue due to the tax holiday, but he argued that, for some businesses, it was a bonus. According to WTVD, legislators argued the state lost about $13 million in revenue due to the tax holiday. The N.C. General Assembly repealed the sales tax holiday in 2013 when it adopted House Bill 998 called the North Carolina Tax Simplification and Reduction Act. The legislation also repealed the Energy Star appliance sales tax holiday which occurs in November, according to reports. This will be the first weekend without the tax-free holiday since 2002, according to reports.
The August sales-tax holiday once covered such items as school supplies, clothing, shoes, computers and printers, and certain types of sports equipment.
"It created jobs. It was kinda like Christmas (in that sense)," said Leinwand. "It created a big shopping weekend. Two of our best days were in August. It kind of spurred the economy and kept businesses open."
Leinwand said that his store will have items everyone need for back-to-school such as school uniforms, shoes such as Nike, New Balance, and other shoes. He added for those that don't need school uniforms, there will be other back-to-school related items on sale as well.

PadMapper makes apartment hunting less awful, almost fun. It does this by plotting the apartments on a big map, and letting you filter for exactly what you want. There are also neat overlays to help you learn about the different areas.
My goal with PadMapper is to make apartment hunting into something people no longer dread. It shouldn't have to be harder than buying a car. You shouldn't have to deal with slimy people. You shouldn't have to make big Excel spreadsheets to keep track of what you've seen and what you think. Landlords should respond to your emails, and once you move in, you should be treated well. I'm going to help make it that way.
Here's our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
I was looking for a place with some friends in NYC in the summer of 2008, and it ended up taking us 6 months. This was our first time, so we got scammed more than once by brokers and shady landlords.
In between scams, I sifted through thousands of Craigslist listings, and it was getting to the point where I was losing hope. It was like wading through my spam folder trying to find real emails. I'd click and read each listing, only to find out that it was in a bad location, or it looked like a slum, or there was a toilet in the kitchen, or it was too "cozy" to fit a double bed.
So, I ended up writing what became the first version of PadMapper to do most of the sifting for me and generally make the hunt better. I've used it and the iPhone app in 3 apartment hunts since then, and it has found me a place quickly each time.
I hope it helps you and your friends find a great place to live. Good luck with your hunt!
If there's anything that confuses you, or you see any bugs, please email me at email@example.com. Feedback really helps - user feedback is the reason PadMapper is what it is today.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Forms perform an essential function in modern websites, making it possible to gather information from users and validate that information. In this course, Adobe Certified Expert Candyce Mairs shows how to create forms to email user information and validate user data using various methods of form validation. These validation methods include client-side, server-side, and custom validation; CAPTCHA images; and Spry validation fields. You'll also see how to set up a PHP testing environment and preview PHP pages in Dreamweaver. Along the way you'll build your skills in areas like using admin consoles, commenting code, working with variables and includes, and much more.
We're going to now take a look at how to preview your web pages, in the browser. The assumption here is you have installed either XAMPP or MAMP, they're turned on, you've installed the course files, and you've also set up your site within Dreamweaver, and told Dreamweaver about the testing server. If any of that has not been done, please go back and review those movies, because you will need all of that installed in order for this section to show your webpage.
What I'm going to do is open up the About Us page. This is our website, it's a Scuba Vacations Tour Company, we create scuba vacations for people. So, what we want to do is take a look at how to preview our pages within Dreamweaver specifically. So, what we have first off is this Live view. And this live view button takes the Dreamweaver design view and converts it in to a little mini browser view. Now, there are things that are grayed out you can see my total insert bar is grayed out.
It doesn't allow editing of the page, so in Live view you cannot edit. I can't select and Edit Text within this text, so Live view is just a quick and easy way to see your browser or get an idea of what it would look like in the browser. This is great for when you are working in database data, to get a quick idea of whether or not the correct data is coming in and what your page would look like, populated with database data. I'm going to turn off live view by clicking it one more time. You can see my insert bar is now active once again. The other way you can preview your web page in the browser Is by clicking this Globe button and whichever browsers you had installed on your system when Dreamweaver was installed those will be pulled into this area automatically. You can certainly add additional browsers, there are only two prebuilt shortcuts for browsers however.
If you wanted to add additional browsers you click this at it Browser list. And you'd be taken out to the Preferences area within Dreamweaver to the preview in browser category where you can add another browser by clicking this button. Within this area there is also a way to look at your web pages based on a mobile device. And that area is known as device central. Adobe Browser Lab is an online service that you can use to preview your pages in different operating systems and different browsers.
So, we'll be working in these first two for this course to preview pages. So I'll put this page in Firefox. And there's our website all set up in the browser, so we know for sure that our website is working on our testing server. There are two pages that are being brought in by PHP, and that's what's pulling in our header and footer on this page. Because I'm able to see the header and footer, notice these are .PHP pages.
I know that my testing server is working. If, for any reason, you are not seeing any of these images and these areas of the page, please go back through the course setup movies to make sure everything is set up correctly. Also, confirm that your web server is turned on, in XAMPP or MAMP. But we know everything's set up, and that's how we can preview in the browser, from right within Dreamweaver.
There are currently no FAQs about Dynamic Dreamweaver Websites: Creating and Validating Forms.

Dolcetto from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
This wine has a deep red color. It is fresh and ripe with good balance. The clean acidity balances the red and purple berry fruit perfectly.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Bright, perfumed aromas of violet and blueberry lead to a full body, with bright fruit and a silky texture. There's lemon peel on the finish. How Dolcetto should be. Drink now. 1,200 cases made."

About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Michigan farmers have been exempt from seeking permits for various activities since the 1980s, including performing drain maintenance within a private agricultural drain. They have also been allowed to "construct new agricultural activities" in a wetland, such as planting blueberries after clearing previously unfarmed land. Now, the Department of Environmental Quality, under pressure from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is telling farmers they cannot do that anymore.
A 2008 review of Michigan's wetland program by the EPA requires that the state changes it law to comply with the Clean Water Act. House Bill 5897, sponsored by Representative Jim Stamas, would revise details of certain exemptions to the state wetland permit mandate, increase some wetland use permit fees and reduce others, and require permit denials to document their reasons, among other things.
The changes would impact various aspects of Michigan's agriculture industry, including blueberry production. Opponents believe that compliance with Clean Water Act could jeopardize Michigan's status as the national leader in blueberry production. Blueberry farmers argue that clearing trees from wetlands and planting blueberry bushes does not change the wetland's ability to filter water and keep it clean as it flows to lakes and streams.
Stamas continues to work with stakeholder groups, trying to find a balanced resolution.

Dixon is a 6th-class city in and the county seat of Webster County, Kentucky, United States.[1] The population was 632 at the 2000 census. Dixon is located at the junction of US 41A and KY 132. It was established with a courthouse and post office in 1860 when the county was formed.
Revolutionary War veteran William Jenkins in 1794 established a stagecoach inn five miles north of the town's present site on the old Indian trail between Nashville and St. Louis.
The town was incorporated on February 6, 1861, and was named after Archibald Dixon,[2] lieutenant governor of the state from 1844 to 1848 and U.S. Senator from 1852 to 1855). The notorious Harpe brothers, murderous outlaws, terrorized the area in the late 18th century.
The downtown area has several historic homes and was the site of a number of Civil War skirmishes.[3]
Dixon is located at 37°30′36″N 87°41′55″W / 37.510094°N 87.698539°W.[4]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), of which, 0.9 square miles (2.3 km2) of it is land and 1.04% is water.
As of the census[5] of 2000, there were 632 people, 241 households, and 159 families residing in the city. The population density was 665.3 people per square mile (256.9/km²). There were 269 housing units at an average density of 283.2 per square mile (109.3/km²).

Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.27% of the population.
There were 241 households out of which 28.2% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 53.9% were married couples living together, 9.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.0% were non-families. 32.8% of all households were made up of individuals and 13.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.28 and the average family size was 2.89.
In the city the population was spread out with 20.4% under the age of 18, 9.8% from 18 to 24, 32.4% from 25 to 44, 23.3% from 45 to 64, and 14.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 36 years. For every 100 females there were 107.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 114.0 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $32,500, and the median income for a family was $40,000. Males had a median income of $33,491 versus $19,063 for females. The per capita income for the city was $16,411. About 5.2% of families and 8.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 7.6% of those under age 18 and 7.4% of those age 65 or over.

Re: Mildew in the Cabin
I think the key here is that PS is trying to find solutions for mold on fabrics in the cabin, while I think many of us have focused on mold that is on headliners or on the hull. I've had success in using a combination of vinegar and tea tree oil, along with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (or the knock-offs of those). You just have to remember to shake the vinegar and oil, otherwise you wind up only spraying the vinegar. As mentioned elsewhere, the vinegar changes the pH, so the mold can't grow, and the tea tree oil kills the mold.
Now, ridding yourself of the mold stains, that's another story entirely!

Julie Batten | October 11, 2010 | Comments
As more people become comfortable with searching the Web from mobile devices, marketers must adapt their strategies. Consider these developments.
If you don't have a mobile optimized site, or a mobile search campaign, or really anything mobile in your marketing mix, you are officially late to the party.
Mobile Web Usage Is Exploding
A recent Internet Trends presentation by Morgan Stanley forecasted that "50% of web traffic will come through mobile devices within 5 years." In fact, based on the rate of adoption, it is projected that the number of users accessing the Web via mobile devices will exceed desktop devices by 2014. A column I wrote at the end of last year cited 2009 as the year mobile search took off. And, I think my concluding statement in that column appears to be proving true: "And if 2009 was the year that mobile took off, look for 2010 and beyond to be the years that mobile search reaches its pinnacle." All of the research and data points surrounding mobile Web adoption rates seem to signal that not only will mobile search be exploding, so too will all forms of mobile Web activities.
Google Is a Huge Proponent for Mobile
Mobile is a huge area of focus and innovation for Google at the moment and they are clearly advocating for marketers to make mobile an important consideration both now and for the future.
I was at a conference last week hosted by Google and one theme that was woven consistently throughout was the importance of mobile. For innovation in the online space, Google is the company I often look to first. So, if Google has identified an area as "hot," then I very well should be thinking about it too. Needless to say, its strong emphasis on mobile helped solidify a fact that I already knew – mobile is the digital channel to watch.
Here are some of my key takeaways from the conference as it relates to mobile:
Google Search Innovations Focus on Mobile
At the conference, Google also spoke briefly about the evolution of search and many of its new search innovations. Not surprisingly, many of its more recent innovations are for mobile search products.
I wanted to cover a couple of these mobile search innovations that I think marketers should know about – if they don't already.
If you own an Android phone, you are already familiar with this feature. But for those who don't, essentially this function enables you to search via a vocal query versus a text query. Meaning, you speak into the phone, and Google queries its index based on what you say (versus what you type). This increases users' ability to search "on the go" and get results more quickly than typing. As fast as you can think it, you can see it.
Over a year ago, I examined developments with "visual search" – the ability to search by using a picture as a query versus a text query. At that time, more niche companies were dominating the space but it was only a matter of time for Google to come out with an offering. Google Goggles lets you take a picture of an image with your phone, and then search based on that image. From landmarks to businesses to book titles, if you see something you like and want more info, you can now snap a photo and access relevant search results instantly.
All of these innovations will help propel mobile search forward by making it easier, quicker, and more relevant. And as more and more users become more comfortable with searching the Web from their mobile devices, marketers will be increasingly left behind if they don't have a well thought-out mobile presence. So if you aren't considering mobile as part of your search marketing plans, get going already!

STS-131 Discovery Lands Safely at Kennedy
April 20, 2010
Space shuttle Discovery and seven astronauts ended a two-week journey of more than 6.2 million miles with a Tuesday morning landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Returning to Earth aboard the orbiter were STS-131 Commander Alan Poindexter, Pilot Jim Dutton, and Mission Specialists Stephanie Wilson, Rick Mastracchio, Clay Anderson, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger and Naoko Yamazaki of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The STS-131 mission to the International Space Station included three spacewalks, the installation of equipment outside the ISS, and the transfer of thousands of pounds of cargo and supplies from the orbiter's payload bay to various locations on the station.
