50/50 - Cozumel 2X JulieM
Extended Balcony was nice but I wouldn't recommend paying a ton extra for. It was not very private but had better views that others. Liked being lower to the water on deck 5 and was able to people watch as people got back on board the ship (some very late on the 1st trip to Cozumel.)
Inside didn't notice much difference from other Balcony Cabins. Showing some age but nothing too bothersome.

Very clean and well kept. It was cleaned quickly during the day. We always book adjoining rooms and open the balcony doors to provide more space for social gatherings. We have had the same stateroom twice by choice.

First time cruisers (family of 4) frestuffWe stayed in Cabin 6224 on our 7 night cruise to the Bahamas. Cabin 6224 is on Deck 6 (Empress Deck) portside. We had plenty enough room for a family of four. I posted more info on the room amenities as well as pictures of the room and view from the balcony on a blog, http://familysmarttravel.blogspot.com/2013/04/carnival-pride-cruise-from-baltimore.html Cabin 6224 is 185 sq. ft. with an extended cabin of 60 sq. ft (regular balcony rooms are 40 sq. ft. of balcony space). Beds Cabin 6224 has 2 twin beds that they can put together into a single king size bed for two. 2 Twin beds put together. In addition, it has a sofa that converts into a bed for a 3rd person; and an upper for a 4th person. I have never heard of an upper before and actually had to look it up before our cruise. It is a bed that folds down from the ceiling and is above the convertible sofa bed so that when both upper and sofa bed are converted, it looks like a bunk bed. Extended Balcony There were 4 chairs and a side table on the balcony, although they were all mismatched. One of the chairs reclined but the others did not. We did ask for another reclining chair although none was available. The view from the balcony was pretty good, although you have the life boats right below on Deck 5. This was not too bad, although it just depends on each person whether a balcony room on Deck 6 is right for you. Depending on where your room is located, you may be in view from public areas (something to keep in mind in case you may think you have a 'private' balcony). There are panels in between each balcony, although you can still see through the spaces between and under the panels. Is a Balcony Worth It? Having never cruised before, we didn't know what to expect and how much room we would need, so we decided to spend a little extra on an extended balcony. Was it worth it? It was good to be able to walk out and get some fresh air and watch the ship go to and from the ports without having to go outside of your room to the top decks. However, I was very displeased to learn that maybe a balcony was not such a great idea. Noisy Neighbors Unfortunately, you can end up with noisy neighbors. The balcony doors slam pretty loudly when you just let it go. Now, the solution to this would be is to hold on to the door and let it close gently. However, we were not so lucky and doors were constantly slamming, which you can hear even inside. The slamming of balcony doors actually made the walls vibrate. We also had neighbors who talked very loudly, which really doesn't work if you want to sit out on your balcony to read a book in peace. I can usually tune out noise with my ipod and earbuds. However, the talking was so loud, since it is amplified somehow by the way the balconies are set up, that my usual solution did not help. Also, the cigarette smoke wafted throughout the balcony that sitting out on the balcony for some fresh air and quiet time became a challenge. Something to Consider if You are a Non-smoker Although all rooms are non-smoking, people are allowed to smoke on the balconies - BIG ISSUE for non-smokers who also paid for a balcony. This is my biggest disappointment on our cruise because we were not able to spend as much time as we would have wanted on our balcony. Cabin 6224 is the 3rd balcony from the front side of the ship, which means that you have two balconies (6220 and 6222) that could potentially have smokers and have cigarette smoke wafting back towards you when the ship is moving. Also, you have four other rooms (6226 to 6332) that may have smokers and smoke lingering around you when the ship is at port. I believe that people should be allowed to smoke, however, non-smokers also have a right to not be around second hand smoke. I blame this more on Carnival than the smokers. I thought that since all rooms are non-smoking that we didn't have to worry about making sure we get a non-smoking room, like you would normally do when you book a hotel room. Well, I was wrong. Unfortunately, we were not made aware that smoking is allowed on the balconies and that there are no designated non-smoking balconies when we booked our cruise.

As relaxing as life with a toddler gets! Copper_beechesExtended balcony right before wall, feels very private but your view is closed off from looking forward and you have the life boats below you so can't look straight down. Still a nice balcony.

Home Sweet Pride email@example.com cabin was a category 8J, with an extended balcony. This balcony WAS HUGE! We called it the "bowling alley". We had 2 loungers, 3 chairs, and a side table. This allowed for us to eat lunch and breakfast quite a few times. When the chair hogs take over on the top deck, we came down to our private loungers! Fell asleep and napped one Fun day at Sea! Inside was a standard cabin, it accommodates up to 4 guests with a bunk that lowers from the ceiling, and a convertible sofa bed. Our room stewardess kept things great all week, no complaints! Will be even nicer after November when the cabins get flat-screen televisions!

Great time on the Pride T.I. and CookieCabin 6224 Extended Balcony was just enough room for the four of us. Not real noisy, close enough to the elevators and right above the main Dining room so we loved it. Only issue was a long walk to the other end to get off the ship at the Ports. But not too bad

Carnival Pride the Good and the Bad MsWarmNFuzzyWith 5 of us, we had cabins 7160 and 7162. Both had extended balconies and we had the staff open the door between the two so we could share one large balcony which was really nice. You have to go to the guest services desk to arrange this as soon as you can and they came the next morning and opened it for us. We lost a bit of our view in 7160 as the door swung in our side but it was definitely a plus being able to walk from one cabin to the next. Especially as we had two smokers who used the balcony a lot. We had 3 of us in cabin 7160 and found we still had enough room to get around the room as there was plenty of storage with 3 large cupboards, 2 small cupboards and 4 drawers. There were also two small end tables beside the beds with storage under each. The showers were really good and no flooding on the floor which is always nice. The staff allowed us to take all the supplies out of the mini bar fridge and we used that to keep our own wine and soft drinks. The rooms show as being "mid ship" but we were really closer to the front of the ship. All in all, there was not a lot of movement with the exception of our last night when we were travelling 25 knots and it was a bit choppy. We joked as the life boats were just one level below us so you could actually jump from our balcony. That said, they were not close enough to block our view of the water. My son-in-law has a bad foot and we were not as close to the buffets on the lido deck as we would have liked. We had to go up 2 flights then about half way across the ship to get to the buffet area we preferred. That said, it really was not that far if you have two good feet. Instead of running up for coffee on our own in the morning, we just ordered room service which always came very promptly. I would definitely book those rooms again if I were to go back onto this ship.

R&R on the Carnival Pride MissbeeNCGood location, quiet, 10 steps from aft elevator which led directly to main dining room. covered balcony with two chairs (one reclining), open view. Room had 2 small closets, one closet of shelves - plenty of storage for 2 people. Good size bathroom with shelves for toiletries; temperature controllable shower. Really comfortable bed with good pillows and linens. Sofa and coffee table. Hairdryer was low power and you had to hold the on button at all times to make work (only real complaint I had)

Great first cruise on the Carnival Pride. cruzlovr75We had an extended balcony on deck 8. Good view, enjoyed the balcony, good storage space, liked the t.v. and mini-fridge. Cabins need more electrical outlets, the pool deck is above the stateroom, heard lounge chairs being moved around and loud music.

Relaxing Cruise on the Pride!!! taxcruisermomOur extended balcony cabin 7181 was great!! There was plenty of room on the balcony with 2 chairs and a table. The closets and storage spaces were large and roomy and we stowed the suitcases under the bed. The bed was heavenly - we slept like babies. There was very little noise, mostly coming from Balcony doors slamming. I tried to remember not to let them slam in consideration of others. The bathroom also was roomy with shelves in the vanity area for personal items, makeup, etc. The shower is small, but manageable. We will always choose a balcony cabin and the extended balconies are wonderful.

Wild Ride on the Pride lorilewWe had rooms 5106, 5108 and 5110. Awesome set up. Mom and sister in 5110, me and hubby in 5108 and two teenage boys in 5106. Friends were in 5238, they booked separately. We asked for the balcony doors to be opened between 5108 and 5110, no problem. 5106 was a connecting cabin to 5108 and an inside room. My only real complaint was that although the balcony was nice and roomy because of the location, it had peeling paint and rust spots. Not attractive at all but didn't prevent me from sitting out there during and reading on our warmer days. I was concerned that the front of the ship would be rockier than our previous mid ship room, not a problem. The whole ship was rocking and we don't get sea sick. If you do, you may want to avoid these rooms,especially cruising during winter months which tend to be rougher seas.

Pow riding, board or technique?
I got a used YES Board, Great Dudes board, in a 162 and went up to Mammoth Mountain this past weekend and got some uber deep powder.
It was the first time on that board and I've ridden in powder before and never really fell unless I started going way slow, the pow before was never this deep, more like 1' deep vs the 5' feet that was untouched. When I started to make my turns it felt like my board was flexing a lot, not sure what it's called, but when I went to make my first turn after building a ton of speed it turned and flexed hard, imagine the shots you see with the board sticking straight up and down out of the pow, I fell after that first turn when changing from heel to toe, and it seemed like it kept happening all day, something that never happened to me on my Bataleon Goliath in the stuff that wasn't as deep. I moved my bindings back after two runs, but then the nose just seemed to be boucing a lot and it didn't seem to help that much and felt awkward. Also when turning toe to heel my board would wash out. Maybe it's my technique in the uber deep stuff, but as I said before I never had this problem in 1 or 2' deep stuff, but I was on a different board.
It's my first non-wide board, I've always ridden 26.0 and up ww, this one is a 25.5, so maybe that has something to do with it?
Here's my stats, 185lbs barely 6'2" size US 12 Salomon F20 boot and I ride often about 30 times a season for the last 4 years.
I'm asking about this because I'm debating on selling that and picking up a new board, since I've never had to have my friends wait at the lift line

U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., left, gained the endorsement of the Michigan Farm Bureau. Pete Hoekstra is the Republican candidate pursuing her seat. / Stabenow photo by U.S. Senate Photographic Studio
The Michigan Farm Bureau, which endorsed Republicans Spencer Abraham and Mike Bouchard for the U.S. Senate in 2000 and 2006, is going in a different path for 2012.
We want to show our appreciation for the work that Sen. Stabenow has done in the past year, said Wayne Wood, president of the Bureau, referring to U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow. So were very happy to endorse her for reelection to the U.S. Senate.
Despite the Bureaus choice in previous years, Wood said the Bureaus membership, which number 200,000 farmers in the state, is going with Stabenow this year.
Every election is a new cycle, Wood said. Whos changed? Maybe we both have.
He cited her work as chairwoman of the Agriculture Committee and shepherding the Farm Bill through the Senate with bipartisan support. The bill has been stuck in the U.S. House of Representatives.
He also mentioned her work on getting disaster assistance for Michigan farmers, who were devastated by the early thaw and freeze in April and the drought this summer.
Agriculture is a big deal for us, Stabenow said. Many times in the past decades, its been the No. 1 industry for us in terms of economic growth.
Stabenow is the lone federal Democrat endorsed by the Bureau, which endorsed all of Michigan's Republican members of Congress as well as the Republican-nominated candidates for the Michigan Supreme Court.
Stabenows Republican opponent, former congressman Pete Hoekstra of Holland, got some significant endorsements this week, including the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Businesses.
Sadly, at a time when Michigan residents still need more and better jobs, U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow has a cumulative voting record of only 33 percent with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on key bills that would have helped spark economic growth and job creation, said Rich Studley, president of the chamber in a statement earlier this week.

The acting mayor is trying to overtake Carlisle as campaigns make final pushes
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Sep 17, 2010
LAST UPDATED: 2:24 a.m. HST, Sep 17, 2010
Acting Mayor Kirk Caldwell, who leads all mayoral candidates in fundraising, picked up an additional $68,000 over the past two weeks as he makes a final push to defeat former Prosecutor Peter Carlisle, who began the race with a sizable lead in polls over all contenders.
University of Hawaii civil engineering professor Panos Prevedouros -- boosted by $29,000 in added funds -- is aiming for an upset, while City Councilman Rod Tam also has a packed day of events to get his name out heading into tomorrow's winner-take-all special election.
The mayor's race will be decided tomorrow, with the winner filling the last two years of the term vacated by Mufi Hannemann.
Caldwell, Hannemann's handpicked managing director, who ascended to acting mayor upon Hannemann's resignation, has surpassed $958,000 for the campaign, according to reports filed this week with the state Campaign Spending Commission.
He still had a ways to go to catch up to Carlisle, who led 49 percent to 25 percent in a Star-Advertiser/Hawaii News Now poll conducted last month.
"As I said when I became the acting mayor, I said I'm going to be in one big job interview," Caldwell said yesterday. "By doing the job the people expect me to do, I think that's the best way to run to be the next elected mayor of Honolulu."
Carlisle said he plans a "caravan around the island" today as he works to hold on to a lead that his opponents say has shrunk in recent weeks.
"Unfortunately, negative campaigning seems to have that effect," he said, referring to an ad by Caldwell that questioned spending in the prosecutor's office under Carlisle's lead.
"I hope that that's been adequately addressed and I hope people will see, not the television ads of the last few weeks, but more of my career as a prosecutor and that what was said about me negatively doesn't seem to jibe with what occurred during my 14 years as the prosecutor."
Carlisle has raised $518,000 in the race, including $17,100 over the past two weeks.
Prevedouros has seen a surge over the past 10 days, reporting $29,000 in late contributions.
"Unfortunately, it came a little late," he said, noting one television station was already booked solid with campaign ads. "So even if I paid something exorbitant, they still cannot feed it.
"As much as our money allowed, we have saturated television and radio," he added.
Prevedouros, who finished third in the 2008 mayoral primary with 17 percent of the vote, is shooting for an upset. Backed by the state Republican Party in the nonpartisan race, Prevedouros has raised $166,000.
"I think we're going to come very close and we may be able to do a surprise here," he said. "We feel very good about it."
Tam's spending report for late contributions had not yet been posted yesterday. As of Sept. 3, he had raised $23,000 and had $6,100 in cash left on hand.
He spent yesterday canvassing parts of downtown and Chinatown.
"Everyone seems buoyant," said campaign volunteer Bill Souza. "We have our supporters out and we're all sign-waving. Our spirits have been up."

Dell Rapids Middle School students and staff enjoyed the recent performance of the Dell Rapids High School One Act Play members. In this play, The Devil In Sherman Marsh, the incorrigible Sherman Marsh is tormented by his peers, ignored by his teachers and dismissed by his one true love. His world changes when he discovers a magic Yu-Gi-Oh card. Risking everything Sherman makes a wish to ensure his popularity. Unfortunately, the deals he makes dont turn out as he intended in this hilariously epic collectible card battle.
DRHS One Act Play members performed at the State Competition on Feb. 2. Plays across the Region compete at a contest and the top two earn the honor of continuing on to the State Level each year. Congratulations, DRHS One Act members, on earning one of those honorable positions.
The Dell Rapids Legion Auxiliary members presented a program on Flag Etiquette for the middle school on Monday Jan. 21. Middle school students and staff were able to hear more about the origin of our nations flag, as well as the history and importance of the colors.
Dell Rapids Legion Auxiliary members presented the colors, discussed the importance of honor, care and respect for the flag, shared a video presentation and demonstrated the proper way to fold and present a flag to a family. Thank you to the members of the local Auxiliary members for taking the time to share this with our students.
All too often the simple words Thank You are forgotten. As I sat and pondered what to write for this months newspaper article I said to a friend, Im not sure what to write about.
With a few ideas in mind I began to write about recent events at the Middle School. Then this very wise woman that I know said to me, How about all of the beautiful people that work in the middle School.
She was right on when she made this statement: There are so many wonderful individuals working in our district from our teachers, janitorial staff, associates, lunch staff, bus drivers, secretarys, librarians, school nurses, etc. And these very wonderful and indispensable people deserve to hear the words Thank You.

Here's the functional programming version of a script I posted earlier today on GIS Stack Exchange.
Once the single record translating function is defined (in only 10 statements), the rest of the code is just 4 statements. That's only one more than in David Bitner's super slick JEQL example. JEQL gives you the translate function, but at least Fiona makes writing it (and also many other functions of this sort) simple.https://gist.github.com/1983338.js?file=fiona-translate.py

Since its founding year, Rose-Hulman's philanthropic support has been significantly funded through bequests and other testamentary gifts by generous alumni, parents, and friends. The continuation and expansion of this tradition of remembrance will contribute to the Institute's long-term financial strength and continued academic excellence.
A promissory gift to Rose-Hulman through one's estate planning qualifies alumni, parents, and friends as members of the 1874 Heritage Society which honors and stewards those donors whose foresight and generosity are building the Institute's future.
There are several ways one can make a gift to Rose-Hulman using a will, codicil to trust instrument:
Please contact Chris Aimone to obtain a document providing sample language for your bequest provisions.
Another way to include Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in one's estate plan is to name Rose-Hulman as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy. A bequest or trust provision for the benefit of Rose-Hulman may qualify one's estate for an estate tax charitable deduction.
You may also complete an "Estate Provision Form" for the purposes of documenting your charitable support of Rose-Hulman.
Regulations governing the taxation of deferred gifts and other assets are complicated. Information contained in this document should not be considered legal, accounting, or other professional advice. When making estate provision arrangements for the benefit of Rose-Hulman, individuals should consult with their financial advisor and/or attorney.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board reports Wednesday that casinos won more than $1 billion in February.
- Filed Under
February marked the fifth straight month of slumping gaming revenues in Washoe County, the state reported today, as the greater Reno-Sparks area's market continues to struggle even as the overall economy recovers.
The total "win," or gross gaming revenue, fell 1.2 percent compared with February 2012, the Gaming Control Board report showed.
Statewide, February gaming revenues rose 15 percent to $1.07 billion on the strength of a big month on the Las Vegas Strip, which by itself generated nearly 70 percent of the state total. ...

Mackenzie Gass led Cumberland with a game-high 18 kills as the Bulldogs fought to victories in three extremely close sets en route to a straight-set win over Rio Grande on Tuesday night at the Dallas Floyd Recreation Center.
CU (10-8, 3-4) took the first and third sets by 25-23 margins, sandwiched with a 30-28 win in the second to grab a much-needed Mid-South Conference victory over the Red Storm (1-8, 0-7).
Rio Grande began the first set, as it would throughout the match, taking control early. The Red Storm opened the night on a 7-2 run, leaving the Bulldogs fighting from behind.
CU would do just that, scoring eight of the next 10 points including kills from Danielle Girardeau, Abby Shaw and Jennifer Daniels. A pair of kills from Gass brought the score even at 10.
The two squads played a fairly even rest of the set, again meeting at a 22-22 tie. Cumberland would rattle off three of the next four points to take the all-important first set. A strong swing by Shaw from a set by Kasi Wells proved to be the final point.
The Red Storm again broke out to an early, albeit small, advantage in the second, taking a 12-7 lead. Rio would continue to control the set, earning three straight set-point opportunities. The Bulldogs would again respond.
Three straight kills from Shaw, Gass and Daniels knotted the score at 24, forcing one team to score consecutively for the win. After trading points to a 28-28 tie, Sheridan Jones completed a kill and McCrea Barney landed a service ace, giving the Bulldogs a 2-0 match lead.
In what would be the third and final set, Rio Grande again jumped out to a commanding lead, scoring eight of the first nine points. Again, CU responded with a run, eventually evening the score at 14.
The two squads continued the even play to a 23-23 score, setting up the final two points for the Bulldogs. On serves from Barney, a pair of errors from the Red Storm sealed their fate in the loss.
Cumberland recorded a total of 44 kills in the match to go with a .173 attack percentage. Wells tabbed a team-high 22 assists while Barney added 14 digs.
The Bulldogs will conclude an 11-game homestand this weekend while hosting the Cumberland Classic. CU will play matches against Tennessee Temple (1 p.m.) and Kentucky Christian (3 p.m.) on today before taking on Ohio Valley (9 a.m.) and Freed-Hardeman (3 p.m.) on Saturday.

Nicole Zaremba with her students from Sokol's Gymnastics for Tots program.
- Filed Under
Retiring from teaching to raise a family, Nicole Zaremba was happy for the opportunity to still instruct youngsters as a volunteer in the Boonton Sokol gymnastics program.
"There's no explanation why I keep going back to Sokol either. I'm 20 minutes from Boonton, it's not around the corner for me," said Zaremba, who lives in Wayne with her husband, Lance, and two children, Garrett, 6 and April, 3.
"But the people there, I feel like there's a thing that draws me back there. I just want to keep giving because so many people gave to me. They taught me gymnastics, taught me how to teach gymnastics, and it helped me so much in my life. Helped me want to become a teacher, so I just keep coming back."
According to its website, Boonton Sokol Lodge 32 is a fraternal organization dedicated to physical fitness. The not-for-profit, 100 percent volunteer group shares a love of gymnastics in a fun, educational and safe way and considers itself a family.
Zaremba joined Sokol when she was 6 years old to begin taking gymnastics classes.
"(As a teen) I went to instructor school to learn how to teach gymnastics for two summers and I've been teaching gymnastics ever since," said Zaremba, who grew up in Rockaway Township. "It really got me to want to be a teacher, which is what I did before I had my kids."
Zaremba taught at Stony Brook Elementary School in Rockaway for eight years, instructing third- and fifth-grade students. But she still found time to teach gymnastics at Sokol, starting the gymnastics for tots program four years ago for youngsters ages 3 and 4.
"Gymnastics is just a good, solid foundation for a lot of sports. I think it helps with childhood obesity because you have to start young and get involved in something early. I mean, you may not stick with gymnastics. But it's a good foundation that lets you find out what sports you like," said Zaremba, who also enjoys yoga.
"It just helps with the coordination, hand-eye coordination, motor skills, body awareness, being where you are. To go across the balance beam, you have to know how to move your foot and where to put your arms so you don't fall off. I really believe as long as you find something and you stick with it and exercise, it'll help. There's more to (fighting) obesity than just the exercise, but it'll help."
Sokol's gymnastics programs have been a staple at the school for more than 50 years. They still hold classes for both boys and girls.
Besides the tots program, Zaremba teaches the girls junior class on Tuesday nights for ages 12 and up.
"Most people come back saying they tried private gyms and they find this a lot more one-on-one. I work with the kids to see where they're at so it's more individualized and I always keep them moving. I don't have anybody sitting," said Zaremba, who also competed on Sokol's Competition Team.
"I want them always moving, being involved, doing some sort of motor activity. We include the fine motor and the gross motor in there and try to work on everything. It's coordination, it's balance, jumping, climbing, there's a lot going on with it. I mean, just following directions, that kind of skill, too," Zaremba said, laughing.
Zaremba keeps each of her gymnastics for tots classes at a maximum of six children at a time and allows the parents to sit and watch, "which helps with the kids because their parents are right there. So if they need a hug or a kiss, they can go right over there and get it and come right back because usually the 3- and 4-year-olds have a harder time separating. But we work it out."
Zaremba uses lesson plans for each class, never doing the same thing each week. Students work on the balance beam, bars, rings, tumbling and jumping and the main apparatus. She also makes sure to incorporate music into each routine.
"Whether we're warming up or we're marching, we're doing some sort of movement to music. They usually respond well to that. They're into jumping. It gets their energy up. Parents know they need some place to release their energy and this is the place for it," Zaremba said.
"The sport is exciting because there's always new things to do. It's a challenge. But you know, you love something, you want to just keep doing it. It's fun, it's a lot of fun."
The Sokol gymnastics tots program is for youngsters ages 3 and 4. The once-a-week fall session runs from 1-1:45 p.m. on Mondays from Sept. 16 through Dec. 16. Registration night is from 7 to 8 p.m. Monday at the Sokol Hall, 301 Pine St. in Boonton.

|Characterization of Plant Functions Using Cultured Plant Cells, and Biotechnological Applications.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23291765 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Plant cell cultures are widely used in the micro-propagation of clonal plants, especially virus-free plants, and in the production of useful metabolites such as paclitaxel. On the other hand, the use of plant cell cultures for the more basic characterization of plant functions is rather limited due to the difficulties associated with functional differentiation in cell cultures. In this review, I overview our experience with functionally differentiated cultured plant cells and their characteristics, especially with regard to photoautotrophism and secondary metabolism. I emphasize the high potential of functionally differentiated cell cultures, as well as some of the pitfalls, in the characterization of plant functions and biotechnological applications.

European Automotive Specialties
I have owned several Volvos over the past 20 years and I purchased a new Mercedes Benz a few years back. I would say that I have been to every reputable shop in town and some out of town. It has been my experience that European Automotive has by far provided a service that exceeds all of their competition. I have recommended them without hesitation to my parents and all of my friends that drive European cars. And pretty much everyone that I have recommended them to has thanked me. All their employees are wonderful to work with and I am so happy to have found them as I know that any type of repairs I need done, I can count on them to treat me with honesty and respect.

Sophisticated jewel theft in Antwerp nets millions in diamonds
BRUSSELS — When an armored car set off for the Brussels airport carrying $50 million worth of precious stones from Antwerp's diamond district, eight gunmen knew all about it.
One of the biggest diamond heists in recent memory was about to go down.
The thieves surely knew it would be too risky to make their move in Antwerp, which is the world capital of diamond-cutting, 27 miles from the airport. The city's diamond industry has about 2,000 surveillance cameras, police monitoring and countless identity controls to protect its $200 million in daily trade of rough and polished gems.
"We are just about the safest place in Belgium," said Caroline De Wolf, spokeswoman for Antwerp World Diamond Center.
And the thieves no doubt realized that once Swiss Flight LX789 was airborne Monday night on its way to Zurich, the diamonds tucked in its hold, it would be too late to get their hands on the gems.
But the airport's 15-mile fence and the transfer of the diamonds from the armored car on the tarmac to the hold of the Fokker 100 twin-engine jet — now that held potential.
After weeks of lashing rain, snow, sleet and black ice, Monday evening was finally as good as it gets in late winter in Belgium. Crisp, cold air meant dry roads for a perfect getaway, and winter's early darkness was a blessing for those needing stealth.
About 20 minutes before the flight's scheduled 8:05 p.m. departure, the robbers hid in a construction site outside the airport fence. Then they apparently cut through the fence and, in two cars with blue police lights flashing, drove onto the tarmac, speeding straight to pier A, where the armored car had just finished transferring the diamonds to the Fokker.
Dressed in dark police clothing and hoods, the thieves whipped out machine guns and stopped the pilots and the transport security crew in their tracks.
The 29 passengers?
"They saw nothing," Anja Bijnens of the Brussels prosecutor's office said on Tuesday. The thieves "never fired a shot. They never injured anyone."
With speed and precision, the thieves opened the plane's hold, picked out 120 parcels and loaded them into the cars.
"Afterward, they made a high-speed getaway," Bijnens said, estimating the whole operation took five minutes.
By late Tuesday, investigators had found the charred remains of a van most likely used in the heist but little else.
Because of the heist's clockwork precision, there was immediate speculation the thieves had help from the inside. But Bijnens said only that the investigation is still going on.
Embarrassed airport officials were left to explain how thieves could so smoothly get in, stage a robbery and make a clean getaway. Diamond industry officials who pride themselves on the security of their trade were equally mortified.

Information freely available on the web could be leaving the UK's critical national infrastructure vulnerable to cyber attacks by hackers, a new report has claimed.
Carried out by design and engineering consultancy Atkins on behalf of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET,) the Using Open Source Intelligence to Improve ICS & SCADA Security report suggests information on blogs, social networks and specialist papers could be used to mount cyber attacks on utilities.
The research suggests that many industrial sector websites and academic papers reveal information about staff and their social media data, something that could be exploited by cyber criminals in order to launch an attack.
Papers available online also identify vulnerabilities about industrial control systems, along with information about contractors who have access to such systems. The paper suggests it would be fairly simple for a cyber criminal to put the pieces together in order to launch a calculated cyber attack against critical UK infrastructure.
"To illustrate the increased threat to industrial control systems, the assessment used freely-available tools to demonstrate the identification of networked control systems, their vulnerabilities - and the exploits that may be used to attack them," said Dr Richard Piggin, head of control systems security consulting at Atkins.
"The research demonstrates the low level of technical knowledge that is required to successfully mount an attack against industrial control systems," he continued.
Dr Piggin argues that third-party contractors must be properly managed in order to prevent information falling into the hands of cyber criminals.
"In the control system context, suitable access control, including role-based access to software and systems with activity logging is recommended."
Hugh Boyes, cyber security expert at IET, said industry must ensure it is properly protected against threats posed by hackers, adding that awareness is key.
"The UK has been proclaimed as the 'most internet-based major economy'. Whilst this provides a basis for industry to expand and grow, it is essential that any connections between the internet and industrial control systems are adequately protected," he said.
"However, there continues to be real and growing threats to our interests in cyberspace. The availability of these open source tools makes it easier to locate and attack or interfere with poorly protected control systems.
"This is working with industry to raise awareness of the issue and to promote the development of suitably skilled cyber security professionals," Boyes concluded.
The report comes less than 24 hours after Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills Vince Cable spoke publicly about the threats posed to national infrastructure by hackers and other cyber criminals.
"Cyber attacks are a serious and growing threat to British businesses, but it is particularly important that those industries providing essential services such as power, telecommunications and banking are adequately protected to avoid disruption to our everyday lives," said Cable.
"We can only achieve this objective through a partnership between government, the regulators and industry," he added
