Carnival Valor February 3-10, 2013
We were in a group of six, all of which has cruised several times on Carnival. We sailed on the Carnival Valor Feb. 3-10, 2013.
We flew in a day early to Fort Lauderdale and stayed at the Ramada Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruiseport.
We purchased transfers from John's Service and arrived at the Miami Cruiseport by 10:50AM and were on board by 11:20AM. Everyone was very helpful and the line moved very quickly.
Lunch was served on the Lido deck, with grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, etc. available. By 1PM we were allowed in our cabins. Our luggage was delivered in a timely manner.
The ship is decorated in the red, white, and blue theme, hence the name Valor. The ship was clean and attractive. It has the usual shops onboard with specials running throughout the week.
Food- The food in the dining was overall pretty good, though it seemed there could have been a wider selection to choose from. You can order from the "comfort food" list everyday and steak is available daily, also. Just a quick note- if you are eating in the dining room for breakfast youhave the option of asking for real, not powdered, scrambled eggs, whereas on the buffet all that is available is powdered scrambled eggs.
The ham and cheese omelet in the dining room was very good
Lobster was available once, and there were several shrimp dishes available throughout the week. I ate the flat iron grilled steak one night and it was very good. .
One thing we thought was odd- when we were in port, after arriving back on the ship after an excursion, the only available place to eat was either Italian fare at the buffet, or the deli for a sandwich.
Entertainment- we like to dance to 70's- 80's music and the only band playing that type of music was playing in the casino, which has virtually no dance floor. So that was a disappointment to all of us. We felt like it had been planned intentionally in order to draw people to gamble.
The dancers were very good and entertaining, the juggler was great, as were the other entertainers as well. We did hear complaints about the "family friendly" comedian not actually being very "kid friendly" which caused several people to walk out of the show
The crew- everybody was very friendly- you would not pass a crew member without them smiling, telling you good morning, etc. Our cabin steward TokTok was fabulous!
Other services- after 13 cruises, for the first time ever, we had to use the infirmary. On a windy day my husband was hit with a lounge chair and needed glued/stitched. They were all very helpful. They had him come back after our first port stop so they could clean it and but a new bandage on it.
I have read many stories about how people are treated in the infirmaries and I have nothing but praise for the medical staff on the Carnival Valor. We were not even charged for this service.
In the past I would highlight the daily activities I was interested in doing and this time I did that the first day and then didn't do it again. It seemed there weren't as many activities going on, for free, as there used to be. I realize cruise ships need to make money and the money that is pulled in with gambling, bingo, drinks, etc. contributes a lot to this purpose so I'm not saying this practice is wrong but that maybe it should not be the only activities that are offered.
I can't really say much about the ships shore excursions as we booked our excursions independently.
We visited Grand Turk, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and St. Kitts. At Grand Turk we purchased an excursion on our own. We arranged for rental of 2 golf carts to ride around the island. We used Nathan's for the rentals and I would not recommend them. When we arrived to pick up our carts there was a family of 4 that had also arranged to get a golf cart. There were only 2 carts available. We were told 1 cart had broken down a few weeks before and had not been fixed yet. My group took the 2 golf carts and one of them was not running properly. It broke down on us and we ended up pushing it to get it started again. We were so concerned about getting back to the port that we cut our day very short and returned the golf carts to the original starting point.
At St. Kitts we arranged for a tour with Javin's Island Tours. It was a great day and a wonderful way to see the island. I would highly recommend using Javin at St. Kitts.Javin is very knowledgeable and friendly and makes sure everybody
is having a good time.
At St. Maarten and St. Thomas we didn't do any excursion, mainly walked around.
Overall the cruise was okay. We weren't really disappointed about anything but just didn't come away with that feeling of excitement that we usually do after a cruise.
Just want to say that I had a great time. Want to thank the crew and my stateroom attendent Frank. Went on the RC Freedom of the Seas the day after returning from the Breeze. The Breeze made me feel more like a close friend or family. The RC was nice but too uptight. LOL The crew was not as happy. More tense.
Also I wore my Carnival lanyard the entire trip. Also the RC Cpt. was downgrading the Carnival Line. But hey that's his problem right? Again thank you guys. Starr.
I don't particularly care for short cruises myself. I prefer a 7 day minimum myself. We did this cruise with my niece her husband and 10 yr old son.
For the age of the ship, it is kept up pretty good. Overall it's impressive and the water park is fantastic. We had a great time, although the stop in Key West was much too short, and we barely got a chance to see anything. Cozumel was fun and we had a good time snorkeling at Money Bar.
If I had to do a short cruise again, I wouldn't hesitate to take this ship again.
My husband and I along with an entourage from Natchez, McComb, Caseyville, and Brookhaven, Miss. as well as Vidalia, La. recently cruised to Belize.
The staff was wonderful!! Their patience was phenomenal no matter what our requests were. The cruise was full of excitement, enthusiasm and zest from beginning to end.
We look forward to this annual cruise which has become another blessed opportunity to fellowship with family/friends.
As we share memories and pray for continued blessings from our Creator we eagerly await next year's cruise to the Bahamas.
Great job Carnival Conquest Staff.
Happy Cruising from the Franklin Family in Natchez, MS.
Sail Date: April 29, 2013
Cruise Region: Caribbean - Western
Cruise Length: Five days
Horrible, Awful, Cheats, Scams, and Liars.
Once you have read this contract you realize you have signed your life, first born, and bank account over to Carnival Cruise lines.
Once you board this "ship" or floating bathroom as i would like to refer to it they will offer you drinks. Complimentary? OH NO, they will make sure to get your (sails and signs account card) and then let you know they have a daily drink special of $10 if they are feeling generous that day.
After you get a look around the ship they will let you know where your cabin is located and where your baggage will be. (Please ignore all baggage location as you will have to fight your way to it at the end of the hallway where you can grab all you want.)
Now we get to the fun parts, want your room cleaned??? Oh, they will surely help you out by removing your valuables from your room in my case an iPhone 5 and somecash. So, now that they have robbed you, you will try to make a report when you make your report please be ready to be searched by security and treated as a criminal, because not only will they search your entire room bag by bag, article or clothing by article of clothing, but they will also go through your safe.
Now that you have proven that the items are NOT in your possession they will ask you how much cash you have on your person, (why i haven't quite figured out yet) and tell you they will return within an hour or so. That being said after 5 hours of sitting in my cabin i decide that i am going to go up to customer service where i ask for the manager it seems that all staff are "the manager" after asking how everyone is the manager i got pulled aside by two security guards behind a curtain to meet a lovely (sarcasm) lady named Barbara.
Barbara proceeded to call me a liar, i then asked to see a video or recording of who had entered my room, this was not possible because "they don't have any". So, now i am told to "PROVE" that my items were there in the first place. I attempted to explain that i cannot prove the location of something that is no longer there the reply i received was that the investigation was complete. I go on to realize that now i have to cancel my cell phone and bank info because of data stored on my iPhone, they were very nice at offering free calls to do so, BUT then you get a bill of 100$ for international calling.
Now they will try to show you a log of when people come in and out of your room pay attention to the times they burst in on you with "towel service" or "activity sheets", because they tell you that only the "steward" has access to your room.
So we have covered the basics of this cruises personnel lets get to the ports. One of the two stops was delayed by poor planning due to another ships arrival leaving non priority guests stuck on the boat for part of the day. All in all i felt more safe and comfortable having a random bar keep in mexico look after my items then i did in my room.
I would never get back on this boat, even if it was free.
This was my very first cruise. It certainly will not be my last. I was swept off my feet with pampering.
I got off to a rocky start when I started to Jacksonville, Florida, got 5 hours away and realized that I had left my birth certificate in a red folder in my car at my friends house. We called Carnival and they helped us make arrangements to satisfy this catastrophe. I had planned to catch a plane back home but fortunately they enabled me to go.
Love the water especially hot tubs.
The shows could have been targeted to a more general audience.
The food was good and available all the time. I enjoyed our waiter very much Santiago. He made our dining experience one to always be remembered. He knew all our cruisers by name. He always went out of his way to make sure we got our food and all that we needed timely.
I enjoyed going to the Stir Up Cay Island. Nasau was OK my daughter enjoyed Senyor Frogs. Overall it was a great affordable vacation. The 8-10 hour car ride to get to Jacksonville Florida was long andtiring. Next time I think I will sail out of Charleston, SC on 6 hours away.
We did the 8 night cruise of the eastern Caribbean on the Carnival Breeze and absolutely loved the ship. We staying in a cove balcony cabin and will definitely book this type of cabin again, it was so much fun being close to the water, especially when in port when you could watch the yacht's and sailboats pass by.
The service was wonderful and our cabin steward was friendly and did a wonderful job of keeping our cabin in order, no complaints from any of our group. The food was great, we had early dining in the Blush Dining Room, our head waiter was terrific and explained the menu each night along with making recommendations. We went to the Steakhouse one evening and it was amazing,the food the service again no complaints from anyone in our group.
If we had to complain it would be about the entertainment, the shows have really taken a cut, they are definitely not the caliber that we have seem in the past on other Carnival cruises. My husband did the "Behind the fun tour" $95.00 for about 4 hours and felt it was well worthit. ( You cannot book it in advance and have to book at the shore excursions desk as soon as you get on the boat as it fills up fast).
We had Ken Bynes as our maitre'd boy that man can sing!!
A crew member named "Daniel from Indonesia" Humiliated me and left me with a very bad memory. I made the horrible mistake of snapping a photo of the photos posted for sale. (Photos taken freely by the cruise's staff the night before) (I just wanted to take a picture to relay to my wife to ask if she wanted to purchase it)
As I knelt to snap the photo from my Iphone, I was met by Daniel's finger in my face with a demand to "DELETE IMMEDIATLEY" I felt embarrassed and as I tried to stand to explain my apology and that I was only trying to confirm with my wife if she wished to purchase the photo on display, Daniel's response was to reach for his Walkie-talkie" and call for "SECURITY"...People looked on like I was a criminal. I may have made a mistake by using my cell phone to snap a photo, but I certainly didn't deserve to be treated like this.
Daniel was over bearing and insisted on witnessing me delete the photo. I shakenly complied with the thought of "Security" arriving. I will never make the same mistake. Please tell Danielthat he needs to relax and not be a police officer hot dog. Otherwise, I loved the cruise.
However - Carnival is a value. The housekeeping staff is amazing. Please only report this one in cident. I felt guilty, the rest of the staff was awesome.
Holiday Cruises? Think Twice!
My family and I just returned from a Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Magic out of Galveston. We sailed from Dec. 30-Jan. 6. My husband, daughter and I have been on eight or more cruises. We thoroughly enjoy the cruising experience…everything from the food to the activities to the ports of call. We have chosen Carnival in the past because of its children's activities. Our daughter is an only child and absolutely loves mixing and mingling with other kids her age in the Circle C. Carnival is the fun ship, after all! We really do believe that a cruise vacation is a good value for our money. This time, we brought along five extended family members as a treat. So…if one follows the price of cruises, one knows that holiday cruises can be expensive.
Just as I've always remarked to my spouse, I'd rather not fly during Thanksgiving or Christmas. As it turns out, embarking on a cruise at this very busy holiday time was not the best of ideas, either! One morning I heard the cruise director state that there were about 4600 guests aboard. Notcrew, only guests. Every cabin must have been filled to capacity (three or four or more). I honestly believe that the crew was overwhelmed. Dinner service was off, lines were longer, activities were not as varied, the theater shows were not performed well. One crew member told me that the three weeks prior to my cruise had been exceptionally busy.
My husband and I especially enjoy the outdoor theater screen. Out of the seven evenings, there were just two that allowed for movies. Other nights were devoted to football…Time of year for Bowl games! (Get why I'm saying think twice?) I am a fan of football to be sure, but these same games were broadcast in cabins and at least one bar area. So, we were a little disappointed not to have watched more movies. New Year's Eve was especially busy after the first theater show. We reasoned that every passenger wanted to eat early because the line for anytime dining was so long that we had to think of eating at the buffet upstairs. It was just a crushing scene of people; no organization to the "line" and unlike anything we'd experienced even on a Spring Break cruise.
I was disappointed in the types of activities on this cruise. In a nutshell, if one is a trivia enthusiast, then one has plenty of opportunity to nurture that hobby! I like trivia games too, but it just seemed like overkill. The standard activities like Bingo, art auctions, sports games, etc., are alive and well. In Carnival's defense, however, I must comment that on our rainy Saturday there were plenty of board games and card games to keep people busy. In fact, as I walked the ship on that day, just about everyone was involved in some type of game.
As stated above, my husband and I have cruised many times.In fact, we just sailed the Carnival Triumph out of Galveston in August and could not have had a better time. We've been on RC, Holland America, Princess, Carnival and Celebrity. I've never felt the need to write a review. I felt especially compelled this time around because of our experience. This New Year's Eve cruise is one we'd rather forget. We have come away thinking that we wasted our money. Service was not up to standard and the amount of people just overwhelmed us. We will cruise Carnival again, but we'll choose a better time of year. Lesson learned!
It's been a week and some change since my body returned ashore in Galveston again, but I'm still not myself. I'm pretty sure I'm still out in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico aboard the Carnival Triumph and don't have any intentions of returning anytime soon. I was a first time cruiser on this journey so my opinion may be biased as I have nothing to compare it to, but regardless, I felt compelled to write about my wonderful experience. This will probably be lengthy, so feel free to skip through if you don't have the time.
I went on a four day cruise with my mother and sister. My mother cruised a long time ago when Carnival Cruise Lines was just the Carnival, and my sister was a first timer the same as myself. Just to be clear, we're both in our twenties, so we went as a fully adult family (no kids). My aunt and uncle had been out of Galveston twice in the past year or so (but on the Magic), so they had a lot of experience to share with us for getting through PortGalveston and utilizing time and money wisely on the ship. Just about everything they told us (except for the differences between the Magic and Triumph) was extremely accurate and made our experience wonderfully smooth. I recommend to any first time cruisers - regardless of ship and line - to find some family or friends whom have been at sea recently to brief you on your journey beforehand. It's extremely helpful!
Galveston was unseasonably cold and miserable on departure day, but for being a cruise during the holidays, things seemed pretty light at the port terminal. The porter was quick to help us with our bags and was the first of many very friendly Carnival employees we would come across. We were expecting gigantic lines for check-in through what were we told was a maze of a building and obstacles, but they breezed us through very quickly. I think we waited a total of five minutes to check in, and security was even faster than that. We were on the ship a lot earlier than we expected. We were also told that they wouldn't begin embarkation until 12:30 but we were eating lunch on the Lido deck by 11:30! They also made an announcement aboard the ship that staterooms would not be ready until 1:30, but being my inquisitive self, I left my family to continue eating as I explored the ship, and I found myself at our stateroom pretty quickly - and it was ready long before then (though the bags hadn't arrived yet).
There's really nothing to do while waiting for departure, and everything aboard the ship is closed except for the bars and food places on Lido, as well as the Lobby bar where everyone boards the ship. They are playing loud party music the whole time which is fun for a while, but you have to save some of that party for departure. Some people (including us) eventually went to their rooms to catch a quick nap or just learn the features of a stateroom. We had an exterior/ocean view room on Main deck near the bow on the port side - which gave us a good view of the boarding action and gangway. Once again a common theme, they said everyone should be aboard by 3:30, but people were still being allowed to board 10 minutes before the safety briefing. The crew of the Triumph seemed to be very lenient on scheduled times for important events throughout the entire voyage, which is fine, but it made for a late departure from Galveston as well as from Cozumel.
As far as organization goes, boarding was smooth and most everything while underway as well. However, there were a few times which the process seemed to be completely unorganized and the thousands of passengers aboard just flooded the stairwells and elevators. The first time this happened was for the mandatory safety briefing, which they ask you to report to your muster station so you can watch them demonstrate how to put on a life vest. One thing I noticed right away though, they do not make it very clear where the muster stations are even for someone who pays attention to details. I eventually found small signs near the stairs that depicted them, but that was long after we were underway. There is nothing in the stateroom that tells you where to go, and muster stations aren't really organized to staterooms either. It was for these reasons that you had people coming from forward cabins going to rear stations and vice versa, as well as crossing between port and starboard stations. It was pretty chaotic, and they lined everyone up shoulder to shoulder three or four lines deep, so it was pretty hard to watch the crew members demonstrate anything. I think a much more acceptable safety briefing would be to override all the TVs aboard the ship, including the big screen on Lido, and just let people watch it from where they are. It probably took a good half hour from our scheduled departure time to watch a five minute briefing, so most of that time was spent just getting people to the right stations and lining them up. I think that process can be streamlined big time - or in the very least provide each stateroom with a diagram of muster stations so people know where to go.
Once the mess cleared up though, the party was on and we left Galveston about an hour late. Other features aboard began to come alive as we made it into open water, but people were already attacking the bars and casino which were not allowed to open until international waters - because we left late they didn't get to open until around 6:00 that evening. We spent some time in the Lobby drinking, and of all the bars aboard I think I spent the most time there. It is in the middle of the atrium and there's constantly things going on around it, so it is not a quiet place to drink, but they seemed to be the most generous with the alcohol of all the bars during the voyage.
Dinner was quite a treat for us since we were allowed to dine in t-shirts and jeans on Casual nights, but the dining room and service is extremely formal. It takes some getting used to if you're not exposed to formalities too often. The food was good though, even though I have seen other reviews saying that it was bland, generic, etc. I found it to be very tasty, and the menu selection was pretty good for adults - and selection changes nightly. A lot of items offered I couldn't see too many children ordering though, but they have off-menu service as well if they can't pass on the chicken nuggets. The desserts are probably the best, and a lot of them are made with artificial sweeteners.
Afterwards I split from my family and went to the duty free liquor store. You can't beat 4 1-liter bottles of Bacardi products for $38 anywhere in the states! Of course you cannot have your liquor until it is delivered to you the evening before debarkation, but they delivered mine in time that we could have made some last minute drinks. A word of advice, though: be sure you know the allowances that U.S. Customs allows you to bring back, because if you're over the limit, you'll end up having to pay the tax on them anyway. Basically you can bring back 1 liter of alcohol per person of age in your group. I spent the rest of the evening exploring all of the bars aboard the ship, and I might have done a little gambling (which I don't really remember). Since you're isolated on the ship in international waters, the bartenders seem to have no problem getting you drunk as long as you remain civil and coherent, and of course can afford to keep paying $8/drink. Be careful - that adds up at the end of the trip, but I knew that going into it. I think I had some pizza on the Lido deck to end the night, and I managed to make my way safely back to the stateroom, where I found my family already fast asleep. Party poopers!
As far as bars go, I spent most of my time in the Lobby bar (which I think has another name but I just called it "Lobby"). There's lots of noise and people around everywhere, but like I mentioned they seemed the most generous on the good stuff. The bar in the casino is probably where I spent the least time drinking. It is always very busy and the staff seems to be the least attentive -but they do allow smoking on one side (cigarettes only as I learned - no cigars). Another bar I spent a lot of time in is the California Wine Bar. It serves wine, but it serves other stuff too (including a martini taster). I even saw some people angered by that fact. It is in a high traffic area but is often bypassed, so it's pretty quiet. Just behind it is the Big Easy piano bar, which is also nice if you're into that. There's going to be a lot of repeat songs in there, though. Club Rio is very much like a lounge, dark and drafty with velvety seats all around. It's a good place to drink while watching the comedy or karaoke acts, but tableside service is slow. There are also numerous smaller bars on the Lido deck, which are basically just poolside walkups. If you're looking for peace and quiet, the Oxford Pub is the best. It was always dead when I went there, so there's no one to talk to usually, but it's extremely quiet if you need a break from the noise and action of the ship. There are lots of comfortable seats, too. It is hard to find though, mid-ship on Deck 4, which is cutoff from the forward and aft parts of that deck.
The Fun Shops weren't exactly what I expected them to be, but worth a look nonetheless. The liquor store was my favorite, of course. It was small, though, which meant small selection - but they also have all your small dry good necessities, and some pharmacy items, on hand. The majority of these stores on one side were souvenirs and the other was jewelry. There was also a fragrance shop and clothing shop. Almost every time I passed them, one would always be jam packed full of people due to some promotion they were throwing, so one could hardly ever find breathing room to just browse. I suggest you do your shopping at port.
The Rome Lounge is more of a small auditorium stuffed into the forward part of the ship. I found it quite amazing something that grand would be in a ship (it took space on 4 decks and probably had close to 500 seats), but they didn't seem to offer very many shows of interest in there. Most of the time they were offering information about Carnival sailing and going ashore, and other times there was a lot of Bingo being played. In the evenings they did have some small productions. I caught the show that reviewed many of the Broadway hits, and the performers were very talented, but in general it just didn't keep my interest. I am a big fan of musicals too, but I didn't find it very entertaining. It is not formal theatre at all, either - people are allowed constantly to come and go as they please. It made me feel that they aren't utilizing the space to its full potential, because it truly is a grand theatre area.
The first sea day we went through some rough water, and sometimes would experience trouble walking. It wasn't too bad though, but the high wind forced them to close the mini golf and other activities on the upper decks. Otherwise, there was plenty of activity across the ship all day and night, and lots of activities offered. That was also the formal dinner night, or as they say, "Carnival Elegant". They even rent dresses and tuxedos for it, but I just stuck with a collared shirt and slacks. I didn't pack my dress shoes either, but I got by wearing my walking shoes. Most people stayed dressed well into the evening. I returned to Club Rio to watch the "family friendly" comedy act. Unfortunately, I think due to the self-censoring, the comedian I saw bombed horribly mostly because of lack of clean material.
The next morning we finally arrived to nice, warm weather in Cozumel. Getting off the ship was unfortunately the most unorganized mess I've had to wade through in a long time. As soon as people saw we were approaching the pier, they began to flood the stairwells, and so there was just a ton of people moving very slowly trying to squeeze through the small doors downstairs. Families were getting separated. No announcements were made other than a "welcome to Cozumel", and no efforts to organize the mess were being made either. In fact, there were even some employees in the middle of the chaos trying to sell $5 bottles of water. The only positive part of such an experience is that everyone was in such a good mood so there wasn't really any cutting in line, complaining, or anything else - just a lot of wise cracks and excitement. This was the part of the voyage where Carnival truly failed to impress me - everything else I was quite happy with.
Since this is a review of the Triumph, I will skip the details on Cozumel, only to say that it's so Americanized that you don't even feel the least bit out of place or unsafe - at least in the cruise ship area. I didn't go into town so I can't say what it's like there, but I assume it's very much the same. Getting back on the ship was the same nightmare as getting off - no organization and very slow security process. We departed about an hour late, but everyone was so drunk and happy that the entire ship was partying as we said goodbye to Mexico. They held a late night party on the Lido deck, which was a lot of fun, but we ran back into the weather we'd left behind and mid-party it began to get very windy and cold.
The second sea day was a rough one. Winter in the Gulf of Mexico at its finest. I was watching the waves from the outer part of the Lobby deck crash on the bow of the ship and then splash nearly twenty feet away from us. The rough seas were not unfelt throughout the ship. In fact, I could not really sit down for a long period of time because I'd begin to feel queasy. Walking around was tough for a lot of people, too, but everyone remained in good spirits. I stayed on the Lido deck most of the day, just because it seemed to be the least motionless deck, although the pools had been drained because it was so rough, water was going everywhere. Also, the list of ship's activities was much shorter than the outbound sea day's. There was hardly anything to do except drink and gamble. It seems like they should spend a lot of time that day entertaining people, because they'll all be sad the next when they have to get off the ship.
Carnival realized there were a lot of Dallas Cowboys fans requesting the game on this trip, so it made the big screen that evening as a planned event. So instead of dinner, my family and I took part in the dining room lunch for the first time. The menu was decent, but service was nothing like the evening dinner service. These were different waiters, and they were not as friendly or attentive as the evening crew. I would just stick to lunch on the Lido deck. So that evening in rough seas, my family went out on the Lido deck amongst a bunch of other Cowboys fans bundled up in warm clothes, blankets, and towels to watch the game on the big screen. It was not a scene you'd expect on a cruise, but everyone was making the best of it. This being a few days past Christmas though, there were a lot of kids on this trip. It seemed tolerable most of the trip for singles, couples, and adults in general, but the last evening things kind of got out of hand. There were a lot of kids just roaming free throughout the ship with no parents around. Yes, even in the casino. That wouldn't be tolerated in Las Vegas. I don't know why that evening was different from the rest, but it was enough to say I wouldn't go around Christmas again.
To counter that, I went to the late night "adults only" comedy show, where the comedian I'd seen before did a lot better material-wise. The second comedian was extremely funny, and had everyone laughing start to finish. It was a nice way to end the night and keep minds off of the rough waters we were all feeling. The host of the show also brought up an interesting statistic that made me think there were a lot of fellow Texans aboard. He said that the Club Rio bar for a standard four day trip usually takes in about $12000-$14000 in liquor sales, but this voyage being so near Christmas had over 1100 passengers under 18, they estimated a much lower take. By that night (and they weren't even finished serving yet), they had brought in $34000 on our trip alone, in that bar alone. I got a good laugh from that, too.
Information was readily available about debarkation across the ship, so they are most organized when trying to get everyone off the ship. Everything is done the night before - if you're checking your bags they bring tags, and they also bring your Declarations forms. They tell you to debark by floor numbers and stay out of the Lobby. Carnival means business for arrival. Everything except Lido is shut down, and we went to breakfast before getting ready to leave. When we came back, they had already started to clean our room. They were friendly about it, but it was obvious they wanted to turn the ship fast, as it was leaving again that same afternoon. Everything in that process went smoothly, except that the handle on one of my liquor boxes broke and one of my bottles went leaking all over the floor of the Lobby. I was very upset for a few minutes, but to anyone that was trying to step around that mess, I apologize. It turned out that I would have had to pay taxes on it anyway as I was one over my family limit, but of course I was willing to do that so I still considered it a loss. But getting through Customs was a breeze and again Port Galveston was a cinch. We were on our way home in no time.
That is where I'll conclude my inexperienced cruise review. I hope it offers some insight into first time experiences and the Carnival Triumph. Carnival has some issues here and there, and I don't expect perfection, but overall it was an amazing experience that left me high, dry, and begging for more. It was not nearly long enough for me and I am already trying to arrange to go on my second cruise for my upcoming birthday. This time I'll probably go it alone or with a friend, and on a longer trip with more ports of call. Would I sail on Triumph again? Yes. Would I sail on Carnival again? Yes. But would I consider another cruise line as well? Yes, if just for the perspective.

Playing your latest demo and there is a game breaking glitch. I went through Diglet's cave and into Pewter, and the game crashes whenever I try to leave the city.
However on a positive note I did realise that the part where you have to enter a code to get into the room was actually just me not understanding the format of the code.

Can anyone tell me what is SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable) method in Java and how it perfoms?
Can anyone tell me what is SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable) method in Java and how it perfoms?
The static utility method invokeLater(Runnable) is intended to execute a new runnable thread from a Swing application without disturbing the normal sequence of event dispatching from the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The method places the runnable object in the queue of Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) events that are due to be processed and returns immediately. The runnable objects run() method is only called when it reaches the front of the queue. The deferred effect of the invokeLater(Runnable) method ensures that any necessary updates to the user interface can occur immediately, and the runnable work will begin as soon as those high priority events are dealt with. The invoke later method might be used to start work in response to a button click that also requires a significant change to the user interface, perhaps to restrict other activities, while the runnable thread executes.
If possible also provide me the Example of SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable) method.
I will explain you the example, how to implement the SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable) method in the program.
Code:SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable(){ public void run(){ outputArea.append(messageToDisplay); } } );
what does invokeLater actually do, along with the nested method within it.
The Swing Library is not thread safe, which means that only one thread may create or modify swing objects. This is the AWT Event thread. Whenever Swing calls a listener method, it is executed on the AWT Event thread, so you may modify Swing objects here.
InvokeLater causes Swing to run a given runnable when it can on the AWT Event thread. You should use invokeLater any time you want to modify a Swing object outside of a listener method.
Hope this makes you clear with Swing and AWT.

|Peter Chiarelli golfed with Marc Savard, says center is 'in good spirits'
|09.12.10 at 2:24 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Any concerns over how happy Marc Savard is after hearing his name in trade rumors all season were met with some positive news Sunday, where Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said the center was in town last week. Though he won't be back in Boston for Monday's golf tournament, Savard did hit the links recently by playing a round with Chiarelli himself.
"He was in good spirits and [is in a] good frame of mind right now," Chiarelli said of their day together.
Savard had said in August that he was "hurt" by the idea of the team considering him in a potential trade. He signed a seven-year, $28.5 million extension in December.
|Chiarelli tells Savard he's staying
|09.04.10 at 1:59 pm ET
On the same day that the NHL dropped its investigation of Marc Savard's contract, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli told ESPN's James Murphy that he's assured the center that he will remain in Boston.
"There is all these things that happen and there are always things that swirl around about moving guys, and I cannot respond to anything in kind because I don't directly comment on trade rumors," Chiarelli told Murphy. "I can tell you, though, that there was discussion and inquiries on Marc and they became public.
"There has been a number of inquires on a lot of the players, some become public and some don't for obvious reasons, but as we told Marc, that's part of the business and he understood that. I made sure he knows what we think of him: He is a Boston Bruin and an elite offensive player we're happy to have on this team."
Savard signed a contract extension with the Bruins worth $28.5 million over seven years in December. Under the rules at the time, the deal would call for a $4.007 million cap hit, but since it circumvented the cap by tacking on additional years to decrease the hit, the NHL opened an investigation that could have lead to it's voiding. The investigation was dropped after the NHLPA agreed to calculate cap hits so that later years of contracts couldn't drastically water down a player's cap hit.
The coming season will be Savard's fifth in Boston after originally joining the Bruins as a free agent in 2006.In 41 games last year (he missed time due a concussion suffered on the infamous Matt Cooke hit on March 6) Savard had 10 goals and 23 assists for 33 points. He had 88 points the year prior.
|Report: Savard still on trade block
|08.30.10 at 11:40 pm ET
According to an ESPN report from James Murphy, the Bruins are "actively shopping" center Marc Savard despite this month's news that his contract has been under investigation by the NHL.
"The investigation by the NHL definitely made teams back off from their interest in Savard, but the team is still open to trading him and trying to," a source told Murphy.
The report adds that talks with teams have been "hampered" by a lack of cap space among teams throughout the league. Savard's deal, a seven-year pact worth $28.5 million total, carries an annual cap hit of $4.007 million. The deal has been under investigation due to it's being front-loaded salary-wise in an effort to water down the cap hit. Half of the deal's money is paid out over the first two years, meaning extra years at less money make for more of a team-friendly deal.
The Bruins are just more than $3 million over the leagues $59.4 million salary cap, but will be given relief of $3.5 million as long as Marco Sturm is out. Once he returns, the team will need to make a move, and Savard as been viewed as a candidate to go.
The center hasn't made any comments on the situation thus far to anyone around these parts, though he did tell the Ottawa Sun that he hasn't liked the context in which his name has been brought up this summer.
"I was really focused on staying [in Boston] the rest of my career," Savard told the paper. "To hear all this stuff this summer bothered me inside more than anything else."
The cap situation and the arrival of second overall draft pick in center Tyler Seguin have been the primary perceived motivation factors for the team to move Savard, though one might question whether the league's worst offense from a year ago can afford subtracting one of its best players.
In 41 games last season, Savard had 10 goals and 23 assists for 33 points. His regular season was cut short by a hit to the head from Penguins' forward Matt Cooke on March 7.
|Lehtonen bolts for Sweden
|08.17.10 at 3:35 pm ET
The Bruins suffered a minor loss Tuesday, but a loss nonetheless when forward Mikko Lehtonen left the states to take a one-year deal in the Swedish Elite League. Though his Bruins career technically isn't over (the Bruins still have his rights), the 23-year-old will play next season with Skelleftea.
In two games with the Bruins over the last two seasons, Lehtonen did not record a point, but he led Providence in goals in each of the campaigns, scoring 28 and 23 goals in 2008-09 and 2009-10, respectively.
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli indicated to Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe Tuesday that Lehtonen "felt there was not an opportunity for him in our organization."
|Chiarelli: Bruins 'cooperating fully' with league regarding Savard
|08.10.10 at 3:53 pm ET
The Bruins have released a statement from general manager Peter Chiarelli regarding the league's investigation of the seven-year, $28.05 million contract extension center Marc Savard signed with the team in December. Here's what Chiarelli had to say.
'We are cooperating fully with the League in its investigation of the Marc Savard contract extension. The League informed us upon their registration of the contract on December 1, 2009 that they would be investigating the circumstances surrounding this contract. From that point on, they commenced their investigation and it has been ongoing since then. On August 4th, I met with two League appointed lawyers as part of the investigation. We will continue to cooperate with the League in any future investigative proceedings if necessary and we will have no further comment on the matter at this time.'
Savard will make nearly half of his contract's money in the next two seasons, with the other half being spread out over the following five seasons. As a result, despite making $7 million per year in 2010-11 and 2011-12, he will have a cap hit of just $4.007 as a result of cap numbers in the NHL being determined by total money divided by years. If the deal is ruled as not being in compliance with the CBA, it will be voided and Savard will become an unrestricted free agent.
|B's officially ink Seguin to three-year deal
|08.03.10 at 5:42 pm ET
The Bruins officially announced the signing of rookie forward Tyler Seguin, the second overall pick in this year's NHL draft, to a three-year, entry-level contract Tuesday. The terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed in accordance with team policy, but it is believed that the deal is similar to the one first-overall pick Taylor Hall received from Edmonton, which calls for a base salary of around $900,000 with performance escalators that could make the deal worth as much as $3.75 million yearly.
'He's obviously a high pick, and he performed well in our development camp,' Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said in a conference call. 'We thought it was time to sign him to give him piece of mind and make him feel part of the organization.'
The Bruins hope that Seguin's debut season can help erase the memory of last year's dismal finish and create some excitement again on Causeway Street. The 18-year-old's line of 48 goals and 58 assists in the Ontario Hockey League along with his YouTube-worthy highlights already have many B's fans buzzing about his arrival. His performance in his first time in black and gold at Bruins prospect development camp in July only added to the excitement.
'If I'm a fan and I see a young player like this that is an exciting, young player and people saw him at development camp, I'd be excited about seeing him play,' Chiarelli said.
Seguin did most of his damage in the OHL as a center, but Chiarelli did not commit to saying that he will hold a similar position should he make the squad out of training camp. With veterans Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Marc Savard and the newly acquired Greg Campbell already on the roster, there doesn't appear to be any room for the young forward at that position this season. He will most likely make his debut at one of the eight winger spots, but Chiarelli was willing to keep the options open.
'You never know. I've had discussions with Claude [Julien] about mixing and matching and shifting some positions around so I can't tell you with complete certainty where he'll play,' Chiarelli said.
With Seguin's signing now official, that gives the B's a total of 14 forwards on the roster including Marco Sturm, who will open the season on the long-term disabled list after suffering a major knee injury in the playoffs. That's two more than they'll need come opening day, but their options are still open according to Chiarelli.
'It's a roster that I'm very happy with now,' Chiarelli said. 'There are some spots for young players to earn spots. You're never done with your roster. I can't say we're definitively done with it. There are always things that crop up. We just saw a Stanley Cup-winning goalie become available on the free market so things happen. Things crop up so it's never done until the opening-day roster's filed.'
|Wheeler's agent expecting word Thursday
|07.28.10 at 6:48 pm ET
It appears there will be no news regarding Blake Wheeler's arbitration case with the Bruins on Wednesday. Agent Matt Keator indicated to multiple outlets, including WEEI.com, that he is not expecting the arbiter to reveal the right wing's awarded 2010-2011 salary until Thursday. A decision must come within 48 hours of the hearing, and given that the two sides met Tuesday from 9 a.m. to noon, word should emerge Thursday morning.
Upon the arbiter delivering the award, the Bruins can either pay and thus retain Wheeler, keep him buy out a veteran, or walk away and let the 6-foot-3 forward become a free agent.
Wheeler is just the second player with whom general manager Peter Chiarelli has gone to arbitration. He walked away from defenseman David Tanabe in 2006. Tanabe later had his career ended by a concussion.
Chiarelli and Wheeler's camp tried to avoid a hearing and held a meeting late Monday night that also included assistant general manager Don Sweeney. All attempts at coming to a deal were obviously unsuccessful, but it seems highly unlikely, even given the team's tight cap situation (just over $12,000 in space), that they would walk away from the 23-year-old.
Wheeler, who spent last week on his honeymoon, scored 18 goals and had 20 assists for 38 points in '09-'10, his second NHL season. He earned $2.8 million. Though the team will get $3.5 million of temporary cap relief from Marco Sturm's knee injury to open the season, the Bruins will almost certainly need to make a more permanent move to accomodate to Wheeler's forthcoming salary, expected to be in the low-to-mid $2 million range, and sign rookie center Tyler Seguin.

I am stuck up with a problem I have a line 'something' in some file. In which file is this line that I have forgotten. In the entire root file system I would like to find out which file and where is this line. So how can I go for this.I have used find but when I used find then I knew the name of file in this case I do not know name of file also. It is a Ubuntu server 10.04 So what can I do to find out which file has this string.
I always use:
That'll give you a list of all of the matched strings along with the actual files they're in.
A simple bruteforce solution would be:
(the -H option to gnu grep causes it to return the filename).
However you'd probably benefit from spedning the time writing a smarter script which ignores stuff like binary files, executables (non-script) etc.
heh well there are a lot of files
maybe if you could narrow it down to some time when you last accessed that file and try
where X is number of days from today backwards in which you are sure you accessed the file
Perhaps something like ' grep -iR "text to find" * ' run from the root will do it.

my kids love these bars. I add ground flaxseed and only 1/2 cup brown sugar. I also replace the corn syrup for honey sometimes. I use mini chocolate chips too, they stay in better
This recipe is pretty good and the bars are chewy, not in a bad way. However, for "added" ingredients I only used 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 coconut and I baked it in a 9 by 9 pan as there wasn't enough batter to use the bigger size.
Overall, these bars were tasty and I will make again.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Date of Stay: August, 2013
This place was in the bottom two of all the campgrounds we have ever stayed. Very noisy right up to 11:30PM (karaoke, big screen tv, building going on); extremely sharp "S" curves; uneven sites; mostly permanent residents who do NOT keep their sites clean; etc. Even exiting the campground was a challenge. There was another sharp curve as well as a large bump to go over. We had to drop the tailgate on our truck so the trailer wouldn't hit.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
What a great place! This was our first stay and we'll definitely return. Campground was clean, quiet for being as close to the Interstate as we were, shaded, laundry was more than adequate, and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The ONLY thing better would be an enclosed dog park.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Nice K-9 park, but could rarely use it. Kids were playing in it instead, even though the posted rules prohibited that. Very noisy - lots of children running around, riding bikes, even after 11 in the evening. Campfire noise lasted long after that time. The real problem was the sites. They were extremely narrow to the point where we had to wait for another RV to leave before we could. This place would "do in a pinch," but we won't return.

The magazine's publishers say it can no longer compete with the web and a consultation is being held with its 25 staff.
08:54, UK, Wednesday 02 April 2014
Nuts magazine, the weekly men's magazine which had a recent row with the Co-operative supermarket over its front covers, is to close.
The publication was initially successful when it launched 10 years ago, but has seen its circulation drop as it faces increased competition from the internet.
Its publishers, IPC Media, have begun a 30-day consultation period with the 25 employees who work in both the print and online departments.
IPC Inspire managing director Paul Williams said: "After 10 years at the top of its market, we have taken the difficult decision to propose the closure of Nuts and exit the young men's lifestyle sector.
"IPC will provide impacted staff with all the support they need during the consultation process."
The Press Gazette said Nuts' average weekly circulation fell 33.5% in the second half of 2013 to 53,342.
At the height of its popularity 300,000 copies of the magazine were being sold every week.
Last year the Co-operative gave the magazine and its competitors Zoo, Front and Loaded an ultimatum to cover up in "modesty bags" or face being removed from shelves in 4,000 stores.
It came amid an increasing debate about the effects of children seeing half-naked women on magazine covers in shops.
Tesco said it would only sell so-called lads mags to those aged 18 or over.
IPC Media also publishes NME, Women's Weekly and Look magazines, among many other titles.
A formal decision will be made at the end of the month.

Botswana weaves a subtle spell with its alluring contrasts of desert and delta, where wildlife still outnumbers people; where sand meets water, where traditional lifestyles are still practiced.
In the northwest, the Okavango River pours onto the desert sands of the Kalahari, creating the largest inland river delta in the world. These two fragile environments occupy much of the country – the Kalahari Desert, with its great salt flats and the Okavango Delta, a maze of islands, lagoons and waterways. Chobe River, Linyanti Wetlands and Savuti Channel lure brilliant birds and large numbers of antelope such as the desert-adapted Oryx and wetlands-loving lechwe.
Botswana may be the last outpost for some of the largest wildlife herds left in Africa, including zebra, gemsbok, wildebeest, springbok and, especially, elephants. Chobe National Park shelters what is likely the largest surviving continuous elephant population in the world. The Limpopo River Basin, the major landform of all of Southern Africa, lies partly in Botswana. The brooding quietness of the waterways, the graceful red dunes, the plaintiff cry of an African fish eagle and the Okavango's glorious sunsets will linger long after the trip home. The very remoteness that once deterred travelers is now a large part of Botswana's attraction.
Here, it is still possible to experience authentic Africa on the Botswana safari of a lifetime.
Summer: (Sept-April) Frequent rain and thunderstorms; days and nights are very hot, but cooling off after rain spells.
Winter: (May-July) Dry and cold days and nights especially in the early hours of the morning.
Time Zone:
Botswana is Greenwich Mean Time GMT +2 hours.

I like your optimism but don't think managment is that smart. CEO is selling shares on a fixed schedule and I'm sure he'd prefer to be selling them at double this price as it was back in August. And I don't think the shorts are adding to their positions at these prices, but merely validating their positions. Sure, a solid 4Q will help, but I don't think they were sand bagging on the earnings call. We could all see the decreased margins and increased G&A expenses at 3Q.
CEO only sold his shares once....40K shares - he still holds a lot more.
There was no insiders selling since it started falling of the cliff. I am hoping for a bounce and kept adding to my position. In the long term it will pay off....just be patient and don't fold under short manipulation pressure.

 Mont Blanc is a 15000+ foot mountain on the French-Italian border. It was climbed for the first time on this day August 8th, 1786. The French and Italians are still disputing whether the summit of the mountain is in French or Italian territory. Sounds like summit-envy to me.

 The Sedition Act was enacted on this day, July 14, in 1798. Incredibly, the Act contained language which made it a crime to write or publish "scandalous and malicious writing or writings" against the government of the United States. Naturally, Thomas Jefferson made it clear that the Act was in violation of the Tenth and First Amendments.

 Things to think about: The Sedition Act expired in 1801 without being renewed -- too quickly after its enactment to be realistically challenged in the Court system.

Report: Soldiers Routinely Abuse Palestinian Prisoners
Anti-torture NGO accuses law enforcement agencies of ignoring cases of abuse by IDF troops.
A report by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) to be released today claims that Israel Defense Force (IDF) soldiers routinely abuse Palestinian detainees and the army and law enforcement ignores the abuse.
The report contains 90 testimonies by Palestinians who were allegedly abused by IDF soldiers after being arrested during and after sweeps for wanted men between June 2006 and October 2007.
Many reports state that the alleged abuse occurred while the Palestinians were bound and did not constitute a risk to the soldiers.
The report, compiled by attorneys Noam Hofstetter, Eliahu Abram and Dr. Yuval Ginbar, states that the alleged abuse occurs in vehicles transporting the detainees to various detention centers and at the centers.
"These acts of abuse do not exclude minor detainees, who are under special protection by Israeli and international law. The soldiers do not treat the minors with care and often, as various reports show, they take advantage of their weakness."
In addition to accusing the IDF of ignoring the alleged abuses, the report says law enforcement infrequently investigates or indicts those accused of abuse.
The report also accuses the Defense Ministry, the State Comptroller's Office and the Knesset of ignoring the situation almost completely.
PCATI also notes that the IDF has no regulations governing the treatment of detainees after their arrest, and until they are delivered to the authorities for detention and questioning.
The report says that the IDF has extensively used dogs in ongoing operations in the West Bank since 2000, and that the use of dogs is intended to frighten and humiliate prisoners because a dog is considered an unclean animal in Islam.
Abdallah Nabulsi of Nablus said that he was arrested in May 2007, bound, blindfolded and placed lying down in the back of a truck.
"They put a large dog on my back. I screamed to get the dog away from me but the soldiers laughed and mocked me," he said.
"The importance of proper treatment of prisoners and detainees is brought into focus this week in particular, with the release of Israeli prisoners on the agenda," PCATI head Dr. Ishai Menuhin said over the weekend.
"We are witnesses to an inhuman attitude on the part of soldiers to prisoners, isolating them from the outside world, acting cruelly to them and cutting them off from their families who are helpless as to their condition. The phenomenon of abuse of Palestinian detainees as the report presents it does not reach this level of severity, although it is serious enough to require us to act with all our strength in order to eradicate it."

East La Penitence man jailed over ganja found in crotch
East La Penitence resident Orlando James will be spending the next three years in jail after being convicted of possession of marijuana, which police found hidden in the crotch of his pants.
James, 24, of East La Penitence Housing Scheme, had maintained his innocence but was found guilty by Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates' Courts yesterday. He had been on trial for allegedly having 25 ½ grammes of cannabis on his person on February 6 at Freeman Street, East La Penitence.
It was the police's case that James, at 2:30 am, was riding a pedal cycle along Freeman Street when police ranks, who were on patrol in the area, noticed him acting in a suspicious manner. As a result, he was subsequently stopped and searched.
According to prosecutor Adduni Inniss, the ranks discovered seeds, weed and stems, that they suspected to be cannabis in the crotch of James' pants. Inniss further stated that James was cautioned, arrested and taken to the Brickdam Police Station, where he was charged.
In addition to the sentence, the Magistrate also imposed a $10,000 fine on James.

Mixed Views of Wall Street. (Opinion Pulse)
Bowman, Karlyn, The American Enterprise
Far more Americans believe Wall Street benefits the country than think it harms us. Still, Americans are of two minds. Seventy-two percent say that Wall Street is absolutely essential because it provides the money business needs for investment. Sixty percent, however, believe that most Wall Streeters would break the law if they thought they could get away with it. In 1935, 22 percent of Americans said they owned securities. In broader questions today, around half say they own stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

PACIFIC CLASSIC | PURSE: $1,000,000 | 3-YEAR-OLD & Up | GRADE 1 | 1 1/4-MILES
Shipped to Southern California by trainer Dale Romans after a pair of lackluster efforts on the East Coast, Dullahan collared Game On Dude in deep stretch to take the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic in track record time at Del Mar Aug. 26.
With Joel Rosario aboard, Dullahan defeated Game on Dude by three-quarters of a length while clocked in 1:59.54 for the 1 1/4-mile distance on Polytrack. That eclipsed the track mark of 2:00.61 established in the Pacific Classic last year by champion Acclamation, who did not participate in this year's race because of a minor injury.
Dullahan, third-place finisher in this year's Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, becomes the fourth 3-year-old to win the Pacific Classic in the 22-year history of the race, and the first since Came Home in 2002. He is now 3-for-3 on Polytrack in his career, all in grade I events, including earlier wins in the Breeders' Futurity as a 2-year-old and the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes in April, both at Keeneland.
Owned by Donegal Racing, Dullahan is a son of Even the Score out of the Smart Strike mare Mining My Own. Bred in Kentucky by Phil and Judy Needham and Bena Halecky, the chestnut colt was a $250,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase in 2010.
The wins locks up a place in the starting gate in the Breeders' Cup Classic for Dullahan as part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series.
Dullahan was racing in fifth on the far turn and closing while about four paths wide after 6-5 favorite Game On Dude had taken charge over Suggestive Boy. Game On Dude still led at the sixteenth pole by about a length but could not contain Dullahan, who challenged under strong right-handed urging from Rosario to get up in the final strides.
Richard's Kid, who encountered traffic issues on the final turn, got through along the inside and finished well to be third in the field of 10.

I currently have an 07 Record UT group and run powertap wheels. I am wanting to go to an SRM setup. If I could run a DA or FSA cranks/chainrings, I would have a lot more options on the used market. What compatibility issues would I run into with DA or FSA cranks on a Campy group? Is there a chainring solution that would take care of any problems? Are the chainrings spaced equally so that the fd would shift without issues?
Thanks in advance.

@Otherworld9): Yeah, I figured Candice wasn't the relationship type
But I can see Vinnie getting a suprize when she doesn't even react to his "moves"
@Retro Bug: I like what you said, and I agree we should keep it mainly playful. But later on, maybe we can develop onto that, whether it be towards just being really close friends... Or the other way (bwaow chika wow wowwww)

Inclusive Business Partnerships: Distracting Dead End or Sustainable Solution?
If anything has been proven in the past decade of inclusive business, it's that "go it alone" doesn't work. The enterprises that are going to scale have partners. The other inescapable facts are that partnering is hard and some partnerships don't work. The problem is perhaps that partnering is assumed to be something that just happens and anyone can do it.

"In addition, take the case where two men are in dispute and no one knows who is right or who is wrong. In front of the royal palace, there are twelve small stone towers. Each of these two men is made to sit inside a tower, and the two men are watched over by their family members. They stay one or two days, or even three or four. When they come out, the person who is in the wrong is certain to have caught some sickness; either he has ulcers, or catarrh, or a malignant fever. The innocent person has nothing wrong with him. Thus they decide who is in the right and who the wrong; this is what they call 'celestial judgment'. Such is the supernatural power of the god of this country."
On sickness:
"Some eight to nine out of ten here die from dysentery. As with us, medicines are sold in the markets, but they are very different from those in China, and I do not know any of them. There are also some sorts of sorcerers who practice their arts on people. This is completely ridiculous."
