Do you wish that you could feel happier? By understanding the habits of happy people and eating the right diet, you can achieve that goal, said Dr. Mehmet Oz on his Aug. 29 talk show. And serotonin, which can help boost weight loss as well as emotional well-being, is the key.
Dr. Oz calls serotonin the "happiness hormone." Doing something to help others, such as complimenting them, can increase your levels. Studies show that people who are happiest express gratitude.
Happy people also know how to take time for themselves, even if it means saying "no." For example, if you spend all your time at the office and work through lunch breaks because you've accepted extra work, gradually shift to using your lunch breaks to fix a healthy lunch or go for a walk.
Higher levels of serotonin can reduce cravings, leading to weight loss success. A tasty way to feel happier is to eat chocolate, which releases serotonin and dopamine. Mood-boosting diet foods also include couscous, which has anxiety-relieving selenium; salmon, which contains depression-lifting omega-3s, and dried cherries, which have melatonin to help you sleep.
In addition, Dr. Oz decided to take on the social media world by telling viewers to take at least one day a week away from those tempting pages of Facebook and tweets on Twitter. He believes that these mini virtual vacations can help with happiness.
While Dr. Oz focused on the link between happiness and serotonin, scientists have traditionally linked low serotonin levels to depression. But now a new study indicates that factors other than serotonin cause depression, reported Science World Report on Aug. 27.
Scientists studied mice who could not produce serotonin. When they conducted tests designed to produce symptoms of depression, the mice did not react.
As a result of this study, researchers plan to expand their search for treatments for depressions to remedies that do not involve serotonin. The study was helpful, however, in that it gave clues as to why 60 to 70 percent of patients who take antidepressants that boost serotonin still feel depressed.

First ...
The New Orleans Saints have a problem. One year after finishing the season with fullback Heath Evans as their lone healthy running back, the Saints now have more backs than they need.
The return of Mark Ingram from a heel injury this week has created a glut at the position.
He'll join sprightly speedster Darren Sproles, versatile vet Pierre Thomas and bruising battering ram Chris Ivory to give the Saints their deepest collection of backs in years.
Their backfield runneth over.
Ivory looked 100 percent recovered in his second game back from offseason surgery to repair a lisfranc fracture in his foot. He rushed for 67 yards on 15 carries and was the same punishing runner we saw last season.
Sproles leads the Saints with 793 combines yards from scrimmage and leads the NFL with 18 third-down receptions.
Thomas has sandwiched a pair of strong games against the Rams and Bucs around a team-wide dud in St. Louis. Against the Colts and Bucs, Thomas rushed for 123 yards on 18 carries (6.8 ypc) and caught nine passes for 93 yards.
Ingram, meanwhile, was the Saints' leading rusher and primary short-yardage ball-carrier before bruising his heel against the Colts. If not for the injury, he almost surely would have been the first Saints back to break the 100-yard rushing mark in a game this season. He finished with 91 yards on 14 carries.
"It's hard for four (running backs) to have a good rotation, and yet I would never say never," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "Some weeks it would just be because of other position injuries where you would look to in a game maybe carry more at that position. Three (running backs) are typically what we've carried on a game day, and yet we would certainly look at that each week with the opponent we're playing and maybe the plan we're putting in."
These things tend to work themselves out, especially at the running back position where the attrition rate is high. Ingram and Ivory were added to the injury report on Thursday with various tweaks. The make-up of the backfield on game days could be a week-to-week issue. But if all four healthy, the Saints likely will need to make one of the four inactive. The most likely candidate right now is Ivory since he missed most of the early part of the season and plays the same role as Ingram.
Long-term, the situation probably need to be addressed. Sproles, Thomas and Ingram are under contract through 2014. Ivory is signed through 2012. The Saints also have Joicque Bell, a back they like, on the practice squad. All have reasonable deals but the Saints might be wise to deal one of them while they're still healthy and marketable. This will be a position to watch in the offseason.
... and 10
1. Numbers game: When Jo-Lonn Dunbar picked jersey No. 56 back in 2008, he had no idea legacy he was inheriting. "They just asked me to pick a number and it was available," Dunbar said. Four-time Pro Bowler Pat Swilling wore No. 56 from 1986-92 He's was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1991 when he had 17 sacks. He remains the only Saints player to win the prestigious honor. Dunbar wore No. 40 at Boston College and No. 5 as an all-state running back and linebacker at Corcoran High School in Syracuse, N.Y. He's the 15th Saint to wear No. 56. All were linebackers except center Lee Gross, who had the jersey from 1975 to 1977.
2. Tweets of the week: "5 reasons I need a girlfriend. 5) lotion the part of the back I can never get too. 4) keep the new puppy I get while I'm at work. 3) wash the dishes after I cook dinner.. (it's a partnership right?). 2) rock my jersey specially bejeweled on Sundays. 1) make up the bed in the Mornin and make me smile every Mornin knowin I'm wakin up to a great woman (jus sayin it she Gf she gotta b wifey). ... O and possibly make me breakfast n bed on my off day (is that askin to much!?)" - Cameron Jordan (@camjordan94), 5:26 p.m., Wednesday.
3. Quote of the week: "It's a competitive game and I think we match evenly," We are almost like siblings. We are brothers. They know us, we know them. It's always going to be a hard-fought game no matter when we play, where we play. It's always going to be a good game." - Falcons defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux on the Saints-Falcons rivalry.
4. Didya notice?: The Dallas Cowboys reached an agreement on a three-year deal to hold their training camp in Oxnard, Calif., according to the Ventura County (Calif). Star. The Saints spent a week at the facility in August and team officials had privately expressed interest in holding at least part of their future camps at the site. If the Cowboys elect to spend only a portion of camp in Oxnard it would open the door for the Saints to possibly return for an abbreviated camp. "We would certainly open to having both the Cowboys and the Saints train in Oxnard," said Michael Henderson, Oxnard's general services superintendent. "I don't think that's completely ruled out."
5. Fact of the week: As we all know, the Saints don't run the ball much. When they do, they like to go to the left. According to ESPN.com NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas, Darren Sproles averages 8.1 yards per carry and Pierre Thomas 7.2 yards per carry when running to the left. Those averages rank second and third in the league among running backs with at least 10 rushes in that direction. That's a testament to the blocking up front of left guard Carl Nicks and left tackle Jermon Bushrod.
6. Encouraging stat of the week: The Saints converted five of 10 third downs against the Bucs to maintain their league-leading conversion rate of 55.7 percent. What's impressive about the Saints' third down success is they rank only 16th in the NFL in first down success, averaging 5.7 yards a play. That means the Saints are converting third-and-mediums and third-and-longs at an inordinately high rate.
7. Disturbing stat of the week: Twenty of the 169 first downs Saints' opponents have gained this season have come via penalty. Only the Raiders (30), Cardinals (24) and Seahawks (21) have given their opponents more first downs. Five of the eight penalties the Saints committed last week vs. the Buccaneers resulted in Tampa Bay first downs.
8. What I liked from Week 9: The run defense was stout. The interior line has drawn a lot of criticism this season and justifiably so but it played well against the Bucs. LeGarrette Blount had a couple of nice runs -- a 27- and 15-yarder - but mostly was held in check. And the big stop on fourth-and-1 was a momentum-changer. It set the tone for the rest of the game. The Saints will need a similar effort this week against Michael Turner and the Falcons.
9. What I didn't like from Week 9: The Saints forced three fumbles and failed to recover of any of them. They now have forced 12 fumbles, which is tied for the eighth most in the NFL, yet recovered just four of the loose balls. There are only two explanations for this: 1.) bad luck; or 2.) to use a Gregg Williams' term, poor "populating to the football." Regardless, the Saints defense desperately needs to start recovering these fumbles they're creating.
10. Fearless prediction for Week 10: Remember when Sean Payton had the reputation as a riverboat gambler? Who can forget Ambush? Or, for other reasons, the Superdome Special? The Saints haven't tried anything tricky in awhile. Something tells me they're going to reach into their bag of tricks against the Falcons. It's been awhile since Payton has tried anything tricky. He's overdue.

Pete Hines has further commented on the backlash in regards to the lack of news for the next installments of the "Fallout" and "The Elder Scrolls" franchises. In an interview with Game Zone on May 30, the vice president of Bethesda Softworks was asked if he is concerned about fans negatively reacting to the next video game from the publisher, which is not a sequel of the aforementioned brands. Instead, the company previously confirmed a new intellectual property called "Battlecry" is in development.
Pete Hines stated that the publisher has several studios aside from Bethesda Game Studios, the development team behind the "Fallout" and "The Elder Scrolls" games. He admitted that it doesn't really matter what the publisher will be releasing if fans of the role-playing franchises are looking for something else. You can find a screen featuring "Battlecry" from the official Facebook page of the publisher with the image attached near the top of this article. The comments made by the vice president can be found below:
We're a company that has seven studios and we're doing a lot of things that aren't Bethesda Game Studios or Elder Scrolls or Fallout, and [Battlecry] is yet another. Again, if you're only looking for something that is Fallout, well, then it doesn't matter what else we're doing. I guess you're not interested.
"Battlecry" is a free-to-play multiplayer video game for up to 32 players. Players can upgrade to new items by earning iron from defeated enemies. The weapons include bows, claws, swords and more. It appears that the new intellectual property will only be coming out for the PC platform sometime next year.
The announcement disappointed many fans of Bethesda Softworks who wanted to hear more about the next project from Bethesda Game Studios. The development team is rumored to be working on "Fallout 4" although Pete Hines previously stated that a reveal is still too early. Another potential project is a successor for "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." Bethesda Softworks recently released "The Elder Scrolls Online," a massively-multiplayer online role-playing game spin-off of the franchise, although fans wanted a more traditional experience. With both franchises selling well, the publisher should not be keeping the two intellectual properties dormant anytime soon.

Try and Catch the Wind
More than 334,000 people live in Islip but only 49,709 of them cast their ballots last November, and Croci beat Nolan by 343 votes. It was an upset that rocked Long Island's political world: an incumbent unseated by a newcomer.
Croci, a Lieutenant Commander now with the U.S. Naval Reserve, has been deployed twice to Afghanistan with a Navy SEAL team and served as deputy executive secretary of the Homeland Security Council for two presidents. He got his start in politics as a college intern working for Rick Lazio when he was the Republican congressman representing the district. The election also gave him a town board with no opposition: four Republicans (including Croci) and a Conservative.
Nolan's victory in 2006 had made him the first Democratic supervisor in 40 years, so to many observers his defeat last November simply meant that Islip was reverting to its normal, Republican ways. But according to a December report, registered Democrats now outnumber Republicans by 2,000 people: 63,000 Democrats, 61,000 Republicans and 43,000 "blanks." Regardless of the numbers, only a little more than 27 percent of these registered voters bothered to show up at the polls last fall.
Nolan had first come to the supervisor's office in 2006, winning a special election after bribery and campaign fraud scandals forced out Republican Supervisor Pete McGowan in his 14th year in office. McGowan had been instrumental in bringing Southwest Airlines to MacArthur, putting the airport on the map by all accounts, and subsequently getting the new concourse named after himself. McGowan later admitted to Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota that he'd used more than $30,000 from his campaign to pay for expensive restaurants, spa treatments and massages as well as take vacation trips to Ireland and Florida, and he'd laundered $52,000 in kickbacks through his campaign account.
McGowan wasn't the first Islip elected official to ever get into trouble with scandal. The airport, which began as a military facility in World War II and was later renamed after Gen. Douglas MacArthur, ensnared town leaders in the 1960s, particularly town attorney Walter Conlon. Even Newsday's then-Suffolk editor, Kirk Price, was "buying some tax land up around MacArthur Airport," and he was "involved in land deals with the Republicans," as detailed in Robert Keeler's Newsday: A Candid History of the Respectable Tabloid. Price had no interest in pursuing that story, and it languished until the paper's legendary investigative reporter Bob Greene looked into it. Price and his wife had invested "only a $50 binder in a choice piece of airport property and later made a profit of $33,000 when they and their partners sold the land to a syndicate that included [town councilman Donald] Kuss," wrote Keeler.
Those days of looser ethics for journalists and lawmakers are hopefully long gone—at least on Long Island. But the last thing the airport needs today is a hint of political scandal, which is why the recent change in town leadership and its potential impact on airport management has drawn such wide interest around the Island.
MacArthur Airport's potential to rejuvenate the region's economy is seen as key. According to several recent studies, MacArthur Airport generates some 6,085 jobs in the surrounding community (1,200 people employed at the facility) and $577 million in annual economic activity, at least in 2010. Maintaining the facility is a constant demand. Modernizing it is a necessity.
In 2005, the airport's freshly poured concrete apron, which covers gates five through eight where planes park next to the concourse, had to be repaired because its six-inch base apparently wasn't thick enough to resist the frost cycle and was starting to crack. Airport officials worried that debris collecting in the cracks could get sucked into the jet engines, creating a dangerous situation. That problem has since been fixed. The airport also boasts a two-year-old control tower.
Currently underway at MacArthur Airport are two improvement projects funded from passenger fees collected by the airport: One is a better terminal access roadway for $7.2 million; the other is a new drop-off canopy and vehicle inspection canopy for $2.7 million. Just last week it was announced that Dunkin' Donuts has signed a 20-year lease to open up space left vacant by T.G.I. Friday's restaurant. But the news people are waiting for—that a new airline is coming to the concourse—is still just pie in the sky. In January, JetBlue's president and chief executive officer, David Barger, toured the facility with Commissioner Rizzuto, Supervisor Croci and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY).
"We continue to make the case to JetBlue that MacArthur has much to offer and we're hopeful that JetBlue will decide that Islip is the right fit for their northeastern expansion," Schumer tells the Press in a statement. "Currently, Long Island's population is greater than 19 states and the infrastructure in Islip is already in place. MacArthur, already an important component of Long Island's economy, has the capability of being a jobs juggernaut for the region, particularly if it is able to tap into the full potential of the passenger market that the Island has to offer."
Several months ago US Airways announced it was reinstating two daily round-trip flights to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The new flights start March 25. Air Canada and Ireland's Ryanair have also been reported sniffing around Islip to see which way the wind is blowing.
"I know for a fact that the airport commissioner is entertaining quite a few airlines right now," says Joseph Loccisano, president of Long Island Business Aviation. Which airlines they might be remain hush-hush for now.
"To come to a new place is a major, major decision," says Nolan, who was in office when US Airways decided to increase its flights from MacArthur. "People could lose their careers over it if they get it wrong. They're very hesitant. It's a remarkably complex equation."

Dad is identified as JAMES HASKIN. Notice that Mom will probably also go to prison for "enabling"--a charge that is seldom levied against the partners of abusive women.
Father Sentenced to 245 Years in Child Sex Abuse Case
Posted on: 4:36 pm, January 11, 2013, by Alicia Agent, updated on: 05:18pm, January 11, 2013
A LeFlore County jury found James Haskin, 62, of Monroe, guilty on multiple counts of child sexual abuse and neglect Friday.
He was sentenced to 245 years in prison, according to Margaret Nicholson, LeFlore County assistant district attorney.
Haskin will be formally sentenced on Feb. 22. He will be required to serve 85 percent of his sentence before he can be eligible for parole.
Haskin is charged with nine counts of child neglect and three counts of sexual abuse toward his children. His trial began Monday.
His wife Lucinda entered a plea of "no contest" to nine counts of child neglect and three counts of enabling child sexual abuse and gave up her right to a trial on Jan. 4. She will also be sentenced on Feb. 22.
Nicholson said it will be up to the judge to determine her sentence.
The jury was made up of seven men and five women, Nicholson said.
The couple was arrested on Nov. 1, 2011, after one of their nine children told a case worker that she and another sibling had been sexually abused by Haskin.
One of the daughters claimed to have given birth to a stillborn child which Haskin delivered and buried on their 25-acre property. Authorities believed Haskin was the father of the baby, however no remains were ever found on the property.

Many employees and Firefox users are angry and take to Twitter to talk about it after Brendan Eich is named CEO of the Mozilla Foundation. On March 30, Silicon Times reports that many are calling for Eich's resignation after finding that he donated to an anti-gay cause in 2008.
Although a personal donation and not corporate, Brendan Eich reportedly gave $1,000 to support Proposition 8 in 2008. Prop 8 is the California legislation that was voted in but later overturned by the Supreme Court that banned gay marriage in California.
Many Firefox users are taking to Twitter to voice their opposition to Eich's promotion. Some even have said as long as Eich runs the company, they are switching to Chrome.
In addition to losing customers, Mozilla is losing valuable employees. Three board members resigned upon hearing the news of Eich's appointment. Many other employees have quit or are threatening to quit too.
Eich's opponents don't want someone with his anti-gay personal beliefs leading the company. Mozilla touts a workplace environment said to foster creativity and openness and many are afraid his leadership is not conducive to the company vision and want him to step down.
This story sounds much like that of Jelly Belly chairman Herman G. Roland Sr. who landed in the same hot water with gay rights activisits late last year. Roland's $5,000 donation to Privacy For All Students, a group opposing transgender equality legislation, was found out and the backlash could have been catastrophic.
Another example of the leader's views affecting sales is Chik-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy. When news of Cathy's personal views on gay marriage became public, the divide between pro and anti-gay marriage became glaring. Pro-gay marriage groups staged "kiss-ins" where gay couples would show up to Chik-Fil-A restaurants at specified days and times to kiss publicly in opposition of Cathy.
In support of the fast food chain, anti-gay marriage supporters alternatively set specified days and times that their groups would intentionally buy food from Chik-Fil-A. The move meant to curb any lost sales for the franchise as well as to voice their support.
In the end, both companies spent much time and effort cleaning up what was considered a public relations mess. Both Jelly Belly and Chik-Fil-A are also still spending time and energy on the gay-marriage subject.Is this a road that Mozilla wants to travel or should they just remove Brendan Eich now and save themselves the headache?

Ok so I had one healthy pregnancy in '08 with never any cramping, then last March I got pregnant again... everything was fine until week 5 then I started cramping here and there, then woke with all of my symptoms gone, I tested again and came up negative, and the Dr confirmed that I lost it.
Now pregnant and very paranoid again... I am 4 weeks now, and cramping... The cramps come and go in waves. They are bothersom but not server. I can feel them during the day but normally I wake with them throughout the night. Sometimes they are all over and some times they are on one side and then the other.
I know implanting can cause cramping... I am just too scared to be excited about this pregnancy and I hate that! I keep thinking if I can make it to the ultrasound I will feel better, or after the first trimester. I do not want to spend my pregancny a nervouse reck! Especially since I was so relaxed with my first.

BENSALEM, Pa. (AP) — A suburban Philadelphia grandmother is facing endangerment charges after a passing motorist found her 3-year-old grandson wandering down a road.
Bensalem police say 48-year-old Lisa McLawhorn was highly intoxicated when they arrested her Monday.
Investigators say McLawhorn told officers she had been watching the boy and her 9-month-old granddaughter when the boy went to watch TV.
Officers say a motorist soon saw the boy and alerted police, who said McLawhorn didn't know the boy was missing until officers arrived at her door.
Police say McLawhorn had a blood-alcohol level of 0.135 at the time of her arrest. She is in jail on $50,000 bail.
Grandmother of the Year material, isn't she?
Thank God that the little boy wasn't hurt--- or worse. The woman is a poor excuse for a grandmother when she puts alcohol before her grandchildren. And what about the childrens' parents?
i wonder if grandma was drinking old grandad whiskey?

I have a bash script activated by crontab and running in background. I would like to add to it the ability to send notifications during the execution. My KDE 4 desktop has a fancy notification system which pops out non-modal messages from the tray bar, and this would be perfect for my needs. So I was searching for a way to generate these notifications from a bash scripts, but I have almost no knowledge of the KDE platform and so I'm stuck. Can anybody point me to a solution?

Denver's landmark restaurant, The Fort, is rolling out a new menu. Paramount dishes include fresh Wild Scottish Salmon served with millet pilaf and a dill carrot broth and orange-red onion salad. This isn't just any salmon either. It's hails all the way from Scotland and brings plenty of freshness with it.
For non-meat eaters, try the Tlaxcan's Tamal Nuevo. The vegetarian dish is served with corn Masa and oyster and shitake mushrooms, along with Anasazi bean puree and sautéed zucchini. It's then drizzled with Dixon red chile sauce and avocado crema for that extra kick.
When it comes to the more adventurous palette, the Roasted Game Hen and Ancho Chile-Orange Duck are top choices. The Roasted Game Hen with huckleberry gastrique is served with red chile bulgur and seasonal vegetables. The Ancho Chile-Orange Duck is sure to please, with two pan-seared duck breasts smothered in an ancho chile and orange glaze. The duck is also served with red chile bulgur and seasonal vegetables.
The Fort's new spring and summer menu will be featuring fantastic new sides as well, including:
- President Jefferson's Favorite Mac N' Cheese;
- Vermont Au Gratin Potatoes;
- Pommes Frites with Truffle Aioli – or as The Fort likes to call them, "fancy French fries";
- Millet pilaf – a delicious ancient grain with a slightly nutty flavor;
- Red chile bulgur.

Archipelago and Haven: Are You on the List?
On opening night, a guest list is only as good as the assistant who has to flip through it.
With restaurant-opening season come clipboards and the publicists who wield them, and Nation's Restaurant News ed Bret Thorn would appreciate it if they were a little better at their jobs: "You'd think if you showed up at a restaurant opening and spoke to someone near the entranceway holding a clipboard and told her your name, she wouldn't look at you dumbfounded, wondering why you were talking to her." But at the opening of Archipelago,"The Japanese woman with the clipboard at the door seemed dumbfounded that I would speak to her." Then, at another opening that same night:
Haven seemed, well, very much like all the others, only on this evening it had a velvet rope and young women with clipboards doing crowd control. They, too, had some difficulty, as you had to remember which of two women you RSVP'ed to so they could look on the correct clipboard. You'd think that could be consolidated in 2008."
You'd think, yes, but you also thought a clipboard girl wouldn't be dumbfounded. It's fall madness: Systems are broken, logic is defied. As far as we're concerned, it's total freaking anarchy out there.

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 868 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by RyBru Happiness X10 We checked in within a matter of minutes, of course I called ahead of time but the efficiency was great. We booked a "Wonderful Room" and for my girlfriend and I, only staying two days--it was perfect. The bed was amazing, the bathroom was enough for the two of us although the shower was a little odd (only half a glass panel) I understand it was all about saving space. The hotel was clean and even though we are hard of hearing (yes, we can hear) it was relatively quiet. Also, the warm apple cider is nice touch when coming down to explore new york in the mornings. Thank you W. My girlfriend was worried, but rest assured we would definitely book with you again after our stay this Thanksgiving/Birthday weekend; my woman was happy so thanks again you guys! Oh, and the Bliss products in the bathrooms are awesome! December 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ron30 Horrible experience for a W hotel I would like to take the time and tell you how my experience at from November 27th-December 1st at the W Hotel in Lexington which was my 30th birthday. I have very mix feeling because this hotel was not to the standard I am use to especially at W Hotel. I have a stay at W hotel before and that was the main reason I chose the W Hotel. I expected friendly, great customer service, fast service if I have problem, and that the room is clean and there is no problems with the room. First thing I noticed when I had gone to into the room I had notice that this was handicapped accessible room they have gave me. I believe they gave me this room because the other cozy rooms were sold out. And the front desk try to up sell me for a bigger room and don't really appreciate that. What if someone was handicap that evening and needed a room. Second problem I had was with room I reported the issued once I had noticed it. I had gone downstairs and told one of the employees at the front desk. She told me that a maintenance guy would fix the problem. I don't if the maintenance guy did go to the room to fix it. But when I got back in the evening had notice that sound was still there again. Due to it was late when I got back I told them tomorrow morning about the problem with the same issue. And André and I had to go through that loud noise to trying sleep for two nights out of my four nights of me staying there. Even though they finally gave me another room this was a hassle having to switch rooms that took hour and half of my time. I told André who was also staying in the room that I need to inspect the room before we can stay in the room. I shouldn't have to inspect a room every time I go to a hotel. W Hotel Lexington should had taken the time and inspect the room before someone stay in the room. Also, I notice how the front desk interacts with guest and it was not in very positive tone. This guy asks if they had a charger so he can his phone. One of the front desks rudely said, "no we do not have a charger for your phone" and had gone to ask someone else. I felt bad and let him use my charger. Is this what I expect every time I go to the W hotel and need help. Only thing I can say positive about this situation was that they try to accommodate me the last two nights. I think having this experience I will not come back for long time and never stay at W Hotel Lexington. Will not recommend this place to any of my friends and this will show in all of your social media sites and mind. Giving me 5,000 points is not satisfying for experiencing two nights of horrible service. Not enough Ronald Swann December 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Paul1307 experience Rooms too small and an paid upgrade was not worth the money unless the small rooms are meant for midgets December 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jmarnav Fantastic Small but nice, equipped and clean room. Very good bed and bathroom. Incredible location near to everything and excellent customer attention. Absolutely recommended to stay a few days in New York. Thanks to Anna McDiarmid for her help. December 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hanojoe Good for business Overall good stay, Rooms are small but this is NYC, and I have learned most hotels there have small rooms. Carmen at the front desk gave exceptional service to help work on an upgrade as it was my brother in laws wedding weekend. Service for the room was great, they sent toothpaste quickly when needed. Also needed two stationary chairs for the ladies to have their hair done and they were accomodating. November 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by man001 Horrible service and amenities This is a review of my 6-night stay at W Lexington Ave. I had never stayed at a W Hotel before, and I believe this is my first and last stay at this chain. I don't care about the smallness of the room, this is NYC after all. What I find unacceptable is the ridiculous inconsistency and poor quality of basic services you expect in any facility that claims to be a 'hotel' - I am not even talking about a four star hotel. Numerous items were missing in the room when we first checked in; it's fine if you want to be 'environmentally friendly' but I don't think that's the case here. There was no kettle, no tea bag / coffee sachets, no slippers, no dental kit, and no glass in the bathroom. We asked for the above items and were told that they had a lot of requests for kettles, and they had 'run out' of them. I don't know what to say about this. So of course I didn't have to request tea bags or coffee sachets coz there's no hot water. They did offer to bring us hot water, which was lukewarm. The next few days we had different items missing again: the complimentary water (which was there on the first day), bathrobes (which we were using), and bath towels. They simply took away our used ones and didn't replenish. We had to call a few times to get the missing items back, sometimes two calls were needed before the replacement arrived. My wife just finished her shower when she found that the towels were all missing, I called twice and waited for 10 minutes for them to be delivered, and she was freezing in there. All in all, we have never stayed in a hotel that provides this level of inconsistency in service. I don't know who they hire to clean and service the rooms. It just seems ridiculous that I have to constantly make calls to get things delivered to my room. November 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Santafeguy The W on Lex is special The hotel has always lived up to my expectations. I arrived the Monday morning before Thanksgiving quite early at 9 am. I had communicated with the hotel over the weekend, letting them know of my early arrival, but saying that I understood that the room would not be ready and that I could easily amuse myself for a couple hours. Much to my surprise, I was in the room by 930 am. My only minor (very) criticism would be that the televisions attached to the cardio machines do not all work and I found it frustrating trying to find one that did. Even then, all the channels did not work. November 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by LA9D Unsatifactory SPG Treatment I am a platinum member, but I figure at this large SPG hotel status does not mater. I booked my room expecting to receive the best upgrade available. I even called SPG and went online in the booking section to make sure higher grade rooms were available. However, when I reached the hotel the front desk insisted that the best upgrade available was a Spectacular room. The room was small (which is expected in new york), but more disconcerting was the subpar view. This was the worst experience that I had since I made the decision to stick exclusively to Starwood hotels. To be fair, the staff was courteous, however, Status means nothing at this Starwood hotel. November 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ali76 Excellent Staff Staff were excellent Nothing was a problem and very polite November 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CBlier Great staff, great location The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. They reached out before my stay and asked for any special needs. After a brief discussion with the manager, I was upgraded to a Fantastic Suite, with one bedroom.The staff reached out on a few occasions during my stay to see if I needed anything else, and they quickly printed my boarding pass that I sent to them. I attended a conference at the hotel, and the food was very good for all meals. However, they had some trouble regulating the temperature, and the public bathrooms for the hotel, and the conference bathrooms, were not in the best of shape or condition. November 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MonkeyNYC Weekend in NYC We enjoyed our stay at the W everytime we travel to NYC. Excellent location, staff is very helpful and friendly. Great Living Room to hang out for a drink. This time, the Mega room we stayed in, seems like they have moved the heating/cooling system from the side by the window to the overhead. The themo and room temp did not seem to sync in. It's very noisy even when we had it at LO and 72 would be blowing cold air. We ended up turning off the system at the middle of the night to stop the noise. The next evening it's the same thing and we turned up the heat to 76 to get warm air. Also should replaced some of the older towels as they were grey and with stains. November 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Elizabeth39 Miniature Bathroom While the room itself was small, it was comfortable. The bathroom, however, was miniature and not large enough to be functional (shower stall extremely narrow, very limited space). November 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by VeryGoodPointsStacey Hit or Miss Hotel I love the W and this one in particular is very hit or miss. The best thing about the hotel is the Bliss spa and bliss bath products. While the hotel is clean, the scent used is completely overwhelming in the rooms. The rooms are very, very small, even for NY and some of them are configured in strange ways making much of the space unusable. The hallways are noisy and sounds carry into the rooms. I could hear housekeeping talking and singing in the hallway every day. The restaurant has great food and drinks and is a good place to connect with colleagues. There's little to no platinum recognition, which is extremely unusual for Ws in my experience. After having given this W a few chances, I think I'd elect to stay at other properties in NY given that there are so many to choose from. November 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mo45 The only good thing about this hotel is the Location The size of the room(entire room) is so small that it can easilly be fit into my closet. I weigh only 156 lbs, yet I had difficult time doing my daily stuff in the bathroom. This hotel made me realize how lucky I am, living in a spacious house in Michigan. November 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VSingh59 Our Stay at the W Hotel (541 Lexington) This hotel has excellent service, the concierge was very courteous and helpful upon arrival and during the booking process. The staff members were very friendly, approachable and very professional. The room was very cozy and kept to a high standard. We highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to visit the surrounding area. November 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JPC123 Less than comfortable While I get that NY hotels tend to be small and some comforts are compromised because of that, The W Lexington just doesn't even try to maximize comfort where they can. When I checked in the receptionist told me they upgraded my room due to my SPG status. I've stayed at this hotel four times in the past few months and have received an upgrade, this room is NOT an upgrade. I don't appreciate being lied to. My second issue is with the shower, if you don't have a door than make sure the shower doesn't spray everywhere! My whole bathroom was wet post shower. Third, the gym has a heat setting similar to Mars. It's a gym after all where people are already creating heat. Turn it down! November 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JessicaCaCa JessicaCaCa Unhappy stay with the style team and a quick, unfriendly check out experience. I have a upcoming reservation as a Platinum member. Please...... October 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by FLGirl29 Decent Hotel If you will be in the city and need somewhere clean and cozy to stay, this hotel is not bad. It's in a very good location and it's easy access to the subway. October 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FRTRAVELER Spectacular Stay! Hip modern hotel We had an amazing stay at the W. The all around professionalism of demonstrated management and the staff made us feel like special guests of the hotel. We received an upgrade to a spectacular king room on the 16th floor. There was plenty of room for the two of us. The windows open which is a huge plus for us. (We lived in San Francisco for 15 years so the street noise for us wasn't an issue - it could be annoying for small town suburbanites.) We came to NY with a group and we met in the lobby for pre and post dinner drinks every night. the lobby is sexy, inviting and quite comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept all through the night in pure bliss. The location is great walking distance to the theater and a subway station. We're planning a two visits to NY this spring (one business and the other pleasure) and plan a return stay at the W New York. October 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DJBJR Very good NYC hotel I enjoyed staying at the W Hotel on Lexington Ave. A suggestion would be for better signage. You have to be right in front of it to know you are there. October 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hnan71 Great location Great location. Reasonable price in NYC October 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vicky101 Great location is best feature Hotel room was subpar. Hotel is modern with a very nice, trendy lobby, yet Wonderful Room leaves much to be desired. Staff was great from check-in, housekeeping and bellhop. Great location close to Central Park, restaurants, subway stations. Not a bad stay, yet have stayed in much better Starwood properties. October 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CD1075 This hotel satisfied our needs We were attending a medical seminar at the W and thought we had reservations at the W @ Time Square where the meeing was being held. A mix up occured and we were listed at the W on Lexington Ave. We prepaid our visit and could not switch hotels. We found the hotel to be comfortable and it satisfied our needs. October 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by crashbangwallop Could be great Nice, stylish hotel. Rooms small but modern and clean. Bathrooms tiny but do the job I guess. Biggest issue I had this trip was that for two of the nights there seemed to be parties going on in rooms until about 3 in the morning and then people leaving, presumably from the party at 5-6 am. The result was little to no sleep as the soundproofing is non existent - doors slamming, ice machines, people shouting...to be honest it was awful. October 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by CaliK Room issues Safe and faucet in room not working properly. Housekeeping staff not proactive in identifying it before check-in and took two days of complaining to get it fixed. October 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Abrab I love this place anyway People at the reception are incredibly kind and I love the location. As often the room had problem: this time was the bathtub, with the water control broken handle. The first day I had only cold water... After fixing the second day the water was luke warm... October 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by 2014Getaway Major Disappointment! Most unsatisfactory visit to the W New York! Our room was ridiculously small. There were 3 small drawers - 1 completely taken up by a safe. Only 1 nightstand. Extremely noisy in the halls. Could hear people talking/laughing in their rooms. Wallpaper/paint peeling in bathroom. Used dental floss hanging in the shower for 2 days - not ours! Not particularly sanitary. Limited space in bathroom for toiletries. Poor draperies. Had to be completely pulled down (which left room in darkness) in the middle of day so people from other buildings could not look into our room. Thankfully, the hotel lobby/bar was nice so we had somewhere to go to get out of our inadequate room. September 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JFM47 Fun Time The W hotel in New York City was very convienent to the theater and many other attractions for our two night stay. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Louise60 Love the W! What a surprise to be able to stay at the W hotel, a chic hotel in the heart of the city. I have stayed at W hotels in other parts of the U.S. and it has always been a great experience. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Borus41 A wonderful but short getaway We try to get away for a few days every so often to see some shows , movies or just enjoy the city .. Keep coming back to the beautiful W ( 6-7 ) times & each time we get a special treatment - the staff couldn't be nicer - from the front desk who make you feel welcome to the wait staff in the restaurant & lounge area ...the rooms are beautiful , clean & comfortable ..the food in the HeartBeat rest & Oasis lounge is delicious.. Highly recommend this hotel & can't wait to come back again soon.. September 14, 2014

According to an Aug. 6 post from Bleacher Report, Hulk Hogan is planning to compete in one final wrestling match, and his targeted opponent is WWE Heavyweight Champion John Cena. Hogan, who turns 61 next week, says he has been training like crazy to get back into wrestling shape, and that his back feels great. Hogan, a former WWE champion and one of the most popular wrestlers of all-time, explained that it's not even a question of if he'll return to the ring, but a question of when.
Hogan clearly still has the passion and desire to engage in competition. Unfortunately, that's just one part of the equation. Wrestling is a young man's game, and Hogan hasn't been in his athletic prime since the 1990s. While Hogan vs. Cena is a dream match on paper, the real thing might be a bit sloppy. Hogan battling Cena inside the WWE ring might be better left to fantasy, since there's no way the real-life match would live up to expectations.
Realistically, the only way the WWE could pull off a Hogan comeback would be to script him for a cameo in next year's Royal Rumble. That way, he could make a quick appearance, and get knocked over the top rope within seconds. If The Great Khali could handle the rigors of Royal Rumble, Hogan surely can too. But a match against Cena? That's asking too much of the 60-year-old.
Any thought of Hogan taking on Cena should be immediately squashed, as the ship has sailed. If the match was going to happen, it should have happened 10 years ago when Cena was still in his 20s. If Hogan was to have one last match, it would have to be against someone who could do the heavy lifting to carry the bout. Cena isn't that type of character.
Cena, 37, doesn't have the technical prowess of a Seth Rollins or Daniel Bryan, so a bout with Hogan would get ugly in a hurry. Hogan should forget about making a comeback to pro wrestling. He should focus on what he has been doing for the past six months, performing promo work on the mic to help the WWE sell WWE Network subscriptions.
Hogan and Cena are both expected to appear on this week's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. However, it's unlikely that they will confront each other. Also, they aren't expected to be featured in the same segment. The WWE will be trotting out Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to wish Hogan a happy birthday. As for Cena, he's expected to appear to confront Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar.

The data for this biography was acquired from various sources, including A Disposition to Be Rich by Geoffrey C. Ward, great-grandson of Ferdinand De Wilton Ward, Jr.
Ferdinand De Wilton Ward, Jr. was born in Genesco, New York on November 21, 1851. His parents, Jane Shaw Ward and Rev. Ferdinand De Wilton Ward, worked for 10 years as Christian missionaries in Madura and Madras, South India. They returned to the U.S. because of his father's ill health. Rev. Ward became pastor of Central Presbyterian Church in Genesco from 1848 to 1868. During the Civil War, he was a chaplain for the 104th New York Infantry.
At the age of 22, Ferdinand Jr. took a clerk's job in Manhattan. It was a start, but he was ambitious. In 1880 with the support of James D. Fish, he opened an investment firm with Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., who invested $100,000. Two years later, he married Ella, daughter of a prominent New York family. A year later, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant joined Grant and Ward, investing the same amount as his son.
Ward's financial scheme, similar to later schemes of Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff, relied on new investors because dividends weren't paid from company profits but from acquiring new investors. These investors were lured into the scheme by fraudulent reports, falsified audits and the exploitation of clients' prominent names. When the scheme collapsed, Fish and Ward were incarcerated in Sing Sing Prison after their conviction.
Ward returned to Genesco and lived in the parsonage for 10 years. His first wife died and he married again. Neighbors helped him find work, and he was hired as assistant county clerk. He also did carpentry and furniture repairs.

And after I had hit the Start Server, teh window cam up and said loading, after about 10 econds, it closed and wanted to do it again.
what does all that mean?
Your first problem is that you're using version 1.08. :D 1.10 fixes a few bugs and issues that you're going to be complaining about sooner or later.
You're first issue is that you have auto-start enabled in the server manager and you're also manually starting the server when it crashes. Uncheck the auto-start option untill you get the server up and running.
The port problem is also stemming from the fact that you have the server auto-starting when it crashes. When you manually start it after it has auto-started it think's you're trying to start another server on the same ports.
You need to find out why the server crashed in the first place. Were you running shipped maps when the server crashed or mod maps? What's the location (path) of the server manager when you run it?
well will 1.10 be able to use auto announce?
um well I was using stock maps I don't know how to use mod pams yet, I'm working on that after I get this up and running
Um I'm not sure hat you mena by teh path, you mean where I saved it to and where a launch it from
If so I have it in...
C:/Program files/Lucasarts/Star Wars Battlefront II Server Manager
If not please expand a bit
I will try the first thing you said and see hat happens

When you close your eyes and imagine a happy place, do you see yourself wrapped in this QSW Brownstone Sweater Jacket ($134) as you glide your hands through the tall green grass of a mountain meadow in Austria, hearing echoes of laughter and song radiating through the valley, smelling the smoke puffing out from chimney of the log home your bearded husband built with his own hands? Because, oh my God, that sounds so good.

Interview with Martin Adamek about NetBeans Groovy support
By Roman Strobl on II 14, 2008
I just presented some of our Groovy/Grails support in Cologne, it's shaping up quite nicely. What I like about Groovy/Grails is that it brings the same kind of productivity like Rails but with a language that is much more similar to Java and it compiles into bytecode (and Grails is built on top of existing Java frameworks). Check out the interview with Martin Adamek to find out more about the project and how you can contribute to make NetBeans groovier!

Somehow I ended up in a mud - mosh pit...
Friday, January 11, 2013
I try. I really do. But for the life of me - I simply do not know how I end up in these situations, other than for the amusement of others.
Yesterday I woke up and decided that in order to launch my online vintage store today, I was going to stay inside and work on my photography, listings, and pricing. That was it. Nothing else. And to guarantee that, I took a shower and put a fresh set of pajamas on. (The irony of that considering a prior blog was not lost on me but in all honesty, they were not going to be permitted outside.)
Anyway, there I was, um, in bed, listing away when the phone rang. The wife of the gentleman my husband carpools with called. Apparently, the local Habitat for Humanity Restore was moving and they were having "free day". Anything you wanted was free so they wouldn't have to move it. Her husband asked her to go take a look and 'get what we need' but didn't actually tell her what that might be.
I really wanted to get this done, but free building materials are hard to come by and when you are on a farm, you always need them. So I texted Joe and asked if he wanted me to go and start a pile for him. YES! was his answer with a list:
- PVC pipe
- Fence pipe
- Electrical pipe
Got it - all manner of pipeage.
Then there was:
- Hog wire
- Chicken wire
- Electrical wire
Got it - all manner of wireage.
Then he said - 'just use your discretion.' Uh oh. I am not sure that setting me loose in a warehouse full of free stuff to get whatever I think was appropriate is such a good idea. I asked Joe if this is along the lines of what we now call "The Unfortunate Costco Incident of 2012."
Last year, Joe came home from Costco and sheepishly announced that he is not allowed to go to Costco again without adult supervision. I went out with him to the truck, which was loaded with ... toilet paper. I just stared at nearly 500 rolls of toilet paper and asked him - "uh - why?"
"Well, it was such a good price. And look - I got us 3 gallons of chopped garlic too! Oh - and look at all the paper towels!"
Now, I lovingly say this, but my husband is kind of a kook. He is just sure that times are going to get tough and we need to stock up on stuff. I'm not quite sure what kind of end of the world scenario he is envisioning that will require garlic and toilet paper, other than an invasion of vampires with weak bladders, so I just asked if he expected toilet paper to be the currency of the future.
But I digress from the original intent of this blog.
Off we go to the ReStore for the free for all. Unfortunately they opened earlier than advertised so a lot of stuff was gone but I was off! I found pvc pipe, electrical pipe, plumbing pipe, fittings, gutter stuff, and cinder blocks. Big giant cinder blocks that weighed about 7o pounds. I slowly rolled each block over to our 'pile' in a Biggest Loser type challenge. Then Debbie found a brand new 6 foot tub. So we hauled that over. And a cart with flattened wheels. And hose. And some kind of gasket thing for sealing windows. To keep people from taking from our stash one of us had to stay by it and defend it while the other had to go into the mud pit and scramble for the goods.
Somehow I kept getting tagged and thrown back in like in a WWF match. I'm not sure how but as soon as I dumped off one pile, Debbie was tossing me back in pointing out another pile of loot to grab. The ladies there were kind of intimidated by all the men but I guess I'm just scrappy because I was in there slopping around in the mud.
There is a weird thing that happens to men at piles of free building materials and at the airport luggage carousel. Perfectly reasonable, sweet, gentle men turn into clods that will knock a 70 year old woman over who is trying to get her suitcase or push a 47 year old woman face first into the mud to get to a broken plastic lawn chair. However, enough of them heard me yelp - 'girl down!' when I slipped in the mud and kind of got stuck that they pulled me up enough to break the suction. Ah - chivalry.
Debbie and I ended up waiting in the pouring rain for 3 hours guarding our stash until the guys showed up and we loaded it all in truck. And then Debbie saw a 6-1/2 foot tall window she wanted. Somehow Joe managed to get the window up there and off we drove to deliver their window.
We got home at 8:00. I was up until well past midnight trying to accomplish my goal.
Success! I launched my store today.
HeartSmileFarms on Etsy.
There are still some bugs. Like I can't figure out spell check and how to remove credit card payment. But I'll figure it out.
So Joe has his ReStore crap and I have taken control of another area of my life.
I just haven't figured out how to log yesterday's fitness minutes.

I am rolling at the Costco story..."an invasion of vampires with weak bladders." I'm telling you, you could be our generation's Erma Bombeck!
You didn't share if you were wearing your pjs in the mosh pit, but I'm thinking...not.

The nature of international intelligence has changed in the last decade since 9/11. Their are many who claim that the West is currently embroiled in a "clash of civilizations" with that of the Muslim world in the Middle East. Terrorism has grown and networked in this time, and the "clash" has become more cloak and dagger as more overt wars like the ones in Afghanistan and Iraq come to a close. Anton Corbijn's A Most Wanted Man opts to show the "War on Terror" as it is, and not how he or the source material's author John le Carre, would like it to be. This makes for a thrilling, engrossing and reality-bound thriller that twists slightly and hits you hard at the very end.
Gunther Bachmann (Philip Seymour Hoffman) runs a small team of spies (Nina Hoss, Daniel Bruhl, Kostja Ullmann) for German intelligence out of Hamburg. Their mission, to collect intimate information to identify and thwart terrorist activity within Hamburg's Muslim community. Interest is piqued when Issa Karpov (Grigory Dobrygin) finds his way into the country from Chechnya, he is beaten and on a mission of his own. He is identified as a possible terorrist threat, and Bachmann's team gets to work, hoping they can connect him with a Muslim business leader who, while on the outside seems favorable with the West, may be harboring ties with extremists. A human rights attorney (Rachel McAdams) and a English banker (Willem DeFoe) are also brought into the fray as patience is stretched, beliefs are tested, and everyone involved tries to ascertain the others motives...
Corbijn's directions starts out as shaky, and he uses the movie's score a bit too heavy-handedly in the first act, but he settles down and lets the movie speak for itself with the help of his performers and set pieces. The script is also slightly flawed, but not by much, it could have spent some more time with the character of Dr. Abdullah, as he is the "barracuda" that Bachmann hopes to catch using Issa as the "minnow". All this aside, the script is thrilling, has crisp dialogue , and has so many subtle twists and turns that it is nothing short of a fine piece.
The acting is what truly stands out in this picture, especially the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who should get a posthumous nomination for Best Actor at the Academy Awards for this role. He shows a man of deep flaws, possibly life imitating art, who might drink and smoke a little too much and be too focused on his work, but is still committed to doing his job the right way, as well as doing it as humanely as possible. Grigory Dobrygin also deserves praise for his portrayal of Issa, a broken man who truly does not know what he wants, he goes from MacGuffin-like stock character to a fully fleshed out human being before our very eyes, that takes talent. The actresses bring their A Game as well, especially Rachel McAdams and Robin Wright, who show two sides of this deceptive game, the puppet and a puppeteer. McAdams' accent is a little flimsy, but that's a nitpick towards what was a complete, soulful, fantastic performance. She derserves to be considered for an Oscar herself, she's just that good.
Overall, A Most Wanted Man is a taut, enthralling, timely thriller with a well developed script full of great, multi-dimensional characters who are in turn played by actors who commit fully to these roles and make us involved with them. See this movie, it is definitely, beyond a doubt one of the best movies of 2014.
A Most Wanted Man is showing in theaters nationwide.

The initial idea was to create a simple portrait book of friends, but out of frustration with the generic "camera smile" often found in portraiture, and several long joking conversations, the project eventually grew into this collection of photographs. In all, 30 people were photographed resulting in over 750 photos. Each of these photographs is an attempt to not only capture a completely genuine, unplanned reaction - but also the essence of the individual as I know them best: Smiling.

Ship passengers ill with a highly contagious norovirus have been isolated from others during their excursion at sea. Princess Cruises has an epidemic on their hands at the moment, specifically the Crown Princess. Right now the ship has 66 passengers and 17 crew members sick.
ABC News reports April 9 that the Crown Princess sails to ports in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles. Princess Cruises spokeswoman Karen Candy said the ill ship passengers and crew had to be isolated in their cabins. On Monday, 37 passengers were sick in San Francisco and now there are 66 ill as of Wednesday.
The norovirus is what's believed to cause the sudden illnesses. CNN described that ship passengers who are ill experience nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It's been the culprit of causing people to be sick in recent months. Noroviris affects people on land as well as sea, but health officials see it more on cruise ships since people are in closed, confined quarters.
Candy said doors and handles on the cruise vessel have been continuously disinfected. The norovirus has a way of spreading from person-to-person easily. Ship passengers ill on a Holland America ship took place back in February in which 114 of them and 10 crew memebers were sick. More than 600 people got sick in January sailing to the Carribean due to the virus, the CDC reported.
