Elite Recover is the ideal post workout recovery formula, but is also recommended for athletes who want a meal replacement drink as part of a weight management strategy.
Quality protein is essential for muscle repair and athletic success. Elite Recover has been developed as a post workout drink using the highest quality protein with an optimal amount of multi-source carbohydrate. Our premium protein blend provides a time release matrix with a drip feed effect lasting up to 7 hours to ensure your body has all the amino acids required for efficient recovery.
Our multi-source carbohydrate offers time released energy quickly delivering carbohydrates into your body for when you need them most.
We pack Elite Recover with a fine balance of nutrients and functional ingredients necessary to support athletic development. Viable, probiotic organisms are added to the blend to allow your body to easily digest the formula and prevent stomach upset and other side effects common with low grade recovery formulas.
Many athletes choose CNP proteins as meal replacements for the weight management properties demanded by the nutrition teams behind the world's best athletes.
As an endurance athlete you should consume around 2g of protein for every kg of bodyweight per day to ensure your muscles are repaired fully and metabolism remains high. All protein is not the same; we use only the highest quality protein in the optimal blends so that you have all the nutritional support you deserve.
We think it works best if you mix 3 scoops (65g serving), with 450ml water. Consume Elite Recover after hard training/racing, or as a meal replacement drink as part of a weight management strategy.
Recover Proprietary Structured Protein Blend (milk protein cultured with bifidus, acidophilus and yoghurt organisms, whey protein with high fraction concentrate, peptide bonded glutamine), Maltodextrin, Cocoa Powder, Fructose, Vitamins And Minerals (potassium chloride, dipotassium phosphate, tripotassium citrate, trisodium citrate, salt, tri-calcium phosphate, magnesium oxide, choline bitartrate, vitamin C, vitamin E acetate, beta carotene, iron(II) fumarate, niacinamide, biotin, zinc oxide, potassium iodate, calcium D pantothenate, sodium selenite, chromium(III) chloride, copper sulphate, manganese sulphate, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, folic acid, sodium molybdate, vitamin B6, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin K), Flavouring, Fructo-oligo-sacchacharide, Proprietary Antioxidant/Fat Burning Blend (MCT oil, sunflower oil), Thickeners (cellulose gum, xanthan gum), Sweetener (sucralose).

Cabot women dies in Route 2 crashSubmitted photo
This image taken by a passer-by and contributed to The Times Argus shows the two vehicles involved in Saturdays double-fatal crash along Route 2 in Marshfield.
MARSHFIELD Two Cabot women died Saturday morning when their car collided head-on with a pickup truck, Vermont State Police reported.
Neither woman was wearing a seat belt, police said.
The cars driver, Holly Trombly, 28, and one of her three passengers, Jennifer Hurley, 29, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The crash occurred around 6:50 a.m. near the Beaver Meadow Road intersection on Route 2.
Two passengers in the rear of the car, John Bates, 26, and Andrew Rivera, 22, were taken by Cabot ambulance to Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin. They were then transferred by helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.
Their injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said. They also were not wearing seat belts, police said.
The driver of the 2001 Toyota Tundra truck, Nathaniel Smith, 26, of Cabot, was wearing a seat belt and did not report any injuries, police said.
Trombleys 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier was passing a vehicle that was in its lane when the crash occurred, said Trooper Jacob Metayer, who led the investigation of the accident.
Metayer said the car was speeding and that improper passing was a factor.
Police said the Cavalier was destroyed and the Tundra sustained front-end damage.
Resident Nora Straight said she heard the crash from her home. She called in the accident to 911 and helped direct traffic in the moments afterward.
Part of Route 2 was closed for about four hours Saturday morning.
Responding to the crash scene were fire and emergency crews from Marshfield, Plainfield, Cabot, East Montpelier and Barre Town.
Plainfield Fire Chief Patrick Martin said emergency officials hold a critical-incident stress debriefing after incidents like the one Saturday. A debriefing is scheduled for Monday evening.MORE IN Central VermontThe Vermont Symphony Orchestra opened its annual Made in Vermont statewide tour with an... Full StoryTwo farms land USDA grants

• Stange (W, 2-2) 2IP, 3H, R, ER, BB, 3K
• Peterson 2-4, 2R, HR, 2RBI
• Souza 2-5, 2R, 2B
Syracuse scored all five of its runs in each of the first three innings and won the battle of the bullpens as they defeated Columbus, 5-3 and took the four-game series, 3-1. Taylor Jordan started but left after three innings with reported elbow soreness, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk and a strikeout. Four relievers combined for six innings of one-run relief, with the win going to Daniel Stange, the save going to Michael Gonzalez, and holds going to Warner Madrigal and Christian Garcia. Every Chiefs batter hit safely with two batters — Brock Peterson (2-for-4, HR) and Steve Souza (2-for-5, 2B) — racking up multiple hits.

• Simmons 5IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• Latimore 3-4
• Jeroloman 2-4
Brad Meyers was hit hard again while the Sens got plenty of hits but couldn't get them in (again) in a 5-1 loss to the Thunder. Meyers was charged with all five Trenton runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks. He struck out two and gave up his fourth HR in three starts. James Simmons finished the game with five scoreless innings of relief, allowing just one hit and fanning four. The 7-8-9 trio of Quincy Latimore, Brian Jeroloman, and Jason Martison combined to go 7-for-12 and did figure in the lone run scored with Latimore and Jeroloman getting 9th-inning singles to load the bases with nobody out behind pinch-hitter Justin Bloxom, who drew a leadoff walk. Alas, Harrisburg could only get one run out of it as Martinson struck out and none of the next three batters could get the ball out of the infield.
Roster move: LHP Matt Purke placed on the 7-Day DL. A possible replacement could be LHP Zach Kroenke, purchased yesterday from the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League. Kroenke is a former Yankee and Diamondback farmhand who pitched last year for the Brewers' AAA team in Nashville.

In the nightcap, Kylin Turnbull picked up where he left off in April 2013 by getting smacked around for five runs on nine hits including a two-run HR in the 1st as the Hillcats pummeled the P-Nats, 10-1 in seven innings. Turnbull pitched four innings and struck out one while issuing a balk and throwing a wild pitch. Wander Suero was no better in relief, coughing up five runs on four hits and four walks over three innings with two wild pitches. Shawn Pleffner and Stephen Perez, who had four hits in the completion, added three hits and three walks in this one with Pleffner driving in the sole Potomac run. The rest of the lineup was just 2-for-19 and left 10 men on for the night.

Hagerstown scored in each of the final six innings, pulling away from a 3-2 deficit to win this one 11-4 and prevent a four-game sweep by Lexington. Nick Pivetta won his Sally Lg.-leading 7th game, scattering nine hits over five and a 1/3rd innings for three runs charged, no walks, and three strikeouts. Wilmer Difo homered twice for the second time in six games and drove in four while Brendan Middleton reached base five times with two singles and three walks to lead the Hagerstown attack.

Abingdon Civil War Reenactment Weekend
ABINGDON, Va. - People in Abingdon had a chance to take a look back into the past Sunday at the Muster Grounds.
It was the third annual Abingdon Civil War Weekend.
People had the chance to watch firing demonstrations, check out black powder muskets and talk to reenactors playing the likes of General Robert E. Lee.
During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate troops used the Muster Grounds area.
Civil War Coordinator Stephen Wolfsberger tells us these grounds were originally being used for Revolutionary War reenactments, and he feels this weekend is a great way to educate people both young and old.
"So many people get more of an interactive education and they remember it longer when they can experience something rather than just see it or read about it," said Wolfsberger.
People also had the chance to tour the home 'Retirement' Union troops occupied the home late in the war.

Historical Traveler Reviews Royalton New York Hotel New York City
Super cool - but impractical
We stayed her for four nights and came away with very mixed feelings.
The design of the hotel is undeniably uber-cool. The lobby is clearly somewhere to see and be seen, with several lounge areas with differing design themes. It was crowded every night and the clientele were young, gorgeous and cool. Drinks are not cheap here however, so be warned.
The service, from door to reception is faultless. The staff are all unfailingly young and look like they've been hired from modelling agencies. Maid service was excellent and everyone went out of their way to ensure you had a good stay.
Our issues with the hotel are all design based. Firstly, the entire place is incredibly dimly lit, from lobby to bedrooms. This works fine in the lobby as it helps emphasise the chic contemporary atmosphere, however when it comes to the corridors and bedrooms, it becomes impractical. The corridors leading to the bedrooms are so dimly lit that at first you could be mistaken for believing it's on emergency lighting. The bedrooms all have dimmers which is useful, but even on full light there is insufficient for reading for any length of time and there just isn't anywhere with enough good light to apply makeup.
The bedroom design is very cool, with funky port-holes on either side of the bed for storage of the alarm clock (ours was faulty, but it didn't matter to us) and phone. The bed was very comfortable and the linen is of very high quality.
The street noise is a problem, but in NYC that's fairly normal. Sirens and traffic noise took a bit of getting used to...
As for storage space, there's very little. Certainly nowhere to stow your suitcases out of the way, so ours ended up on the built in sofas, which was a shame. Indeed, we didn't bother to unpack because there really wasn't much room for our stuff.
The bathroom is again of great design quality. We had a standard room (so no giant bath, just a fantastic rain shower) but the sink area had very little space around it and so there's nowhere to put your bathroom products. Again, this is really irritating.
The hotel does provide a complimentary umbrella in every room, which was a thoughtful and useful touch. I would agree with a previous reviewer that the hotel tries to make money wherever it can though - the mini-bar is extortionate, there's no complimentary water available and watch out for the basket of goodies in the wardrobe (which contain useful extra items such as bathroom products, adaptors, condoms even) which are incredibly expensive. There was a $25 Royalton CD of music in the bedroom available to purchase which seemed a bizarre marketing gimic given that it was in a plastic wrapping and there was no way of listening to it (being that it was issued with a warning that if the wrapper was disturbed in any way you would be charged). Some pretty tacky Royalton merchandised t-shirts and baseball caps were also available for purchase - it didn't seem to fit in with the whole image of the place.
The Bose i-Pod dock was, however well used and very welcome. No free wi-fi access in the hotel (you pay $10 for 24 hours of connection, but it seems that this is standard in the US) .
As for food - this place doesn't seem geared up as a restaurant. The choice of food on room service was minimal to say the least and the dishes were overly-pretentious. You get the feeling they really don't want to be bothered with providing a food service. We never saw anyone taking breakfast there and the restaurant is hidden away at the back of the hotel.
On the whole, whilst we initially loved the look and feel of the place, it's impraticality as a place to stay soon became annoying. It seems that too much effort went into the styling and design of the hotel with too little thought given to the fact that it had to be functional also. Hence, a little disappointing.
A short stay of one or two nights would be fine just to experience this place. I have never stayed anywhere that tries as hard to be cool as the Royalton - if anything it tries a little too hard...
Romance at the Royalton
Just spent a wonderful two days in a loft suite at the Royalton. The room had a working fireplace and the celebrated 5 foot circular tub, both of which we really enjoyed and made much use of. The staff at the hotel were all very friendly, not snobbish at all, and service was excellent. We called someone to light the fire in the fireplace three times and each time someone came within five minutes. Lots of interesting touches in the room such as candles, upgraded toiletries (ex. real sea sponge in the bath), etc.. Very comfortable bed and excellent climate control system.
A few minor issues:
1. You can hear some periodic street noise (sirens/trucks) from the rooms overlooking the street, but I left the fan on which drowned out most of it. This is to be expected in NYC unless you are in an interior room.
2. The lighting in the room was very dim. Romantic but not very functional.
3. A little too many attempts in the room to pad the bill ($25 for a cd of music, $10 for a large bottle of water, etc.)
Love this place with the new refurb!
Some people may call it style over substance, but I for one love the feeling of entering an absolutely fantastic lobby. The lobby here oozes fantastic! There are so many great little places to sit with fireplaces nearby.
We also loved the room. Admittedly we went for a basic suite - and got upgraded to the more expensive one - so we may have a slightly odd view of the place. There was lots of space, although oddly very little cupboard space. The bathroom with the large round bath was great fun as well as having one of those great shower roses above. The bed was also very comfortable.
If you are looking for a stylish boutique hotel with a great location for going shopping, this is your place!
Great stay at the Royalton
We stayed at the Royalton for one night during our stay in NYC. The staff was EXTREMELY friendly and accomodating. The room was large for NYC, bed comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and modern. We had a great stay at the Royalton and wish we could have stayed there longer.
Liked it should habe loved it
Had stayed twice before at Royalton & had fantastic stay. This time there were good points & bad. Sadly for the price (over $500 per night) I had high expectations which were not met. The reception & bar area is fab, very welcoming & trendy & the bartender makes great cocktails. The doormen could not be friendlier. On the down side, our room on the 7th floor overlooked the aircon/heating unit for the hotel, which meant a continuous buzz from the unit 24/7. The hotel did try & move us when I complained, but could only offer me another room, still overlooking the aircon unit or a room on the 4th floor, where they assured me I would be kept awake from the "buzz" from the hotel bar area at weekends. We opted for the aircon unit. To be fair, it did not keep us awake, but was ever present so therefore quite annoying.
The other problem was the breakfast staff, who were friendly, but hopeless! They offered the most inept service but a mile of any encountered in New York- ever!
The rooms are lovely, great beds, Korres bath products & soft fluffy bath towels. However, unless I could be guaranteed no Aircon unit outside my room, I would not stay again.
Great hotel, lousy after service
Our original booking was with City Club Hotel but upon check-in we were rebooked at Royalton for our 4 night stay due to renovations at CCH. Loved the Royalton and the service while we were there. It's a great trendy place for 30 somethings. Our trip was great but the only problem was that Royalton charged us for the entire stay when we had already prepaid thru City Club. Not blaming Royalton completely for the screw-up but I am blaming them for the 5 long distance phone calls when we returned home because we did not get the credit charged back to us correctly, not once, not twice, but three times! It has been a frustrating process and it seems they are more than happy to serve you when you are there but not after you leave.
Interesting Hotel
I stayed at the Royalton last night. I had previously been at their bar (newly renovated and very nice) which is trendy and very European in style (not that there is anything wrong with it). Thus, for the rooms, I was expecting something very trendy and not very comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised.
To start, getting into the hotel can be an adventure. I did not notice any signs. Fortunately, I knew where it was.
My next problem was that I could not find the reception desk (it is on the right as you head down towards the restaurant). Got my room key, went into the elevator (very small, claustrophobic even though I was the only one in it. It says it can hold 12 people, but I do not belive it).
Got to my room and was amazed. I had a stnadard room. It was a large for a standard room in New York City. Had a bed, a desk and a couch. Flat screen tv (nice size and rotates off the wall). Bose speakers with I-pod port. Bed was very comfortable.
The bathroom was spectacular. Totally modern, but very functional. Decent counter space.
Shower was huge (big enough for 2). It had both a hand held unit and a fixed, vertical unit (I do not particularly like those since it is difficult to keep your body wet and your head dry. I usually prefer an angled one). Excellent water pressure, better then I have at home.
Very nice touches throughout the room. A couple of tall candles for those looking for romance. And flowers.
I had recently stayed at a Sheraton in midtown. The Royalton's room was far superior in size, lay out and amenities and was $200 less a night.
A word of caution -- watch out for high prices. The minibar is very expensive (but it was late and I was exhausted). So to is the resturant ($30 for breakfast). I went to the Red Flame Diner (head towards 6th and it is on the opposite side, 14.75 including tax for the same meal).
I will stay here again.

Opera House second season starts Sept. 5
By Shantelle Breaux
CROWLEY – The guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Crowley Rotary Club was Kim Gattle, director of the Grand Opera House of the South, who spoke about the upcoming second season.
"We're very excited," said Gattle of the opening performance on September 5, which will feature Percy Sledge. Gattle mentioned other upcoming performances, including musician Janice Martin and Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie, a dance company from Canada that will bring a touch of modern and classical dance to the Opera House.
The Opera House will also be featuring the Family Series, sponsored by Ted and Judy Carmichael and their family, in response to requests for more family entertainment, stated Gattle. She also mentioned that if anyone is interested in making a monetary donation to the family series, instead of buying an ad in the program for next season, the money will be used to give needy children an opportunity to visit the Opera House.
Gattle also gave an update on renovations taking place at the Opera House. The Gielen family is leasing the bottom portion of the building from the non-profit Opera House Board of Directors and construction has begun to make the space into a reception area. According to Gattle, the area will host its first wedding reception in April 2010.
Gattle emphasized that the Opera House can be use for more than just performances. The two parts of the space available for rent are 1) the auditorium and stage and 2) the ballroom.
After Gattle opened the floor to questions, Troy Breaux, a member of the Opera House Board of Directors, emphasized just how lucky Crowley is to have the Grand Opera House of the South.
"We have an amazing structure here," stated Breaux. "They have given it to our community. It belongs to Crowley."
"Let's support the Opera House. Let's get them rolling."

Paris, October 15 (No.2001-105)-
President Jacques Chirac of France today advocated dialogue among cultures and
declared that cultural diversity is "based on the conviction that each people
has a specific message to the world, that each people can enrich humanity by
contributing its share of beauty and truth".
President Chirac was speaking
at the 31st session of the General Conference of UNESCO, the Organization's
supreme governing body, which opened in Paris today. The General Conference
brings together all of the Organization's Member States, currently 188, every
two years.
President Chirac stressed that
the events in the United States had shaken hope and confidence in the new
century, replacing them with talk of a clash of civilizations: "A clash of
civilizations which would mark the 21st century, just as the 19th century was
marked by the clash of nationalities and the 20th by [the clash of] ideologies.
A present and future clash of civilizations which would be all the more radical,
violent, and impassioned as it would oppose cultures and religions."
The French President rejected
discourse "fed by fears" and said that it should be countered with "another
political, moral and cultural reality, […] another will: that of respect,
exchange, dialogue among all cultures, inseparable from the clear and
uncompromising affirmation of the values that are central to what we are."
Advocating dialogue among
cultures, President Chirac stressed the principles that must underpin this
exchange. "First, […] the equal dignity of all cultures, and their vocation
to crossfertilize and enrich one another. This is at once an obvious fact,
demonstrated by the entire history of humanity, the history of literature, the
arts [and] architecture. It also provides us, above all, with a reading of the
world. […] The second of these principles, inseparable from the equal dignity
of cultures, is the need for cultural diversity. There cannot be dialogue but
among equals."
"Cultural diversity is the
way to counter the standardization of cultures produced by globalization.
Diversity must be based on the conviction that each people has a specific
message to the world, that each people can enrich humanity by contributing its
share of beauty and truth," President Chirac added before expressing his
vision of good and bad forms of globalization: "[It is] good when information,
knowledge and progress, mutual understanding, the sharing of values and riches
are the common [values], that are circulating, [and] informing awareness. On the
other hand, it is bad if it is synonymous with uniformization, standardization,
reduction to the lowest common denominator, or to the absolute supremacy of
market forces that are oblivious of a humanist culture whose very essence is to
rally people around ethical principles."
In this respect, the French
President welcomed the fact that UNESCO was preparing a declaration on cultural
diversity, which, he said, was "a first step towards a convention establishing
the special status of culture in law." He also urged UNESCO to devote all its
energies to fighting the digital divide.
But how should this dialogue
between cultures be established? President Chirac said: "The most pressing
need […] is to attach more importance to justice and solidarity and to people
and their concerns, in the workings of the world." He continued: "It is
therefore the duty of all politicians and leaders to give globalization a human
face and to prioritize the interests of all of humanity."
President Chirac said the
Internet was an "extraordinary instrument for mutual understanding and
dialogue," which "needs ethical regulation just as much as technical rules."
He called on UNESCO to be the forum for debate on "freedom of expression and
its limits, the balance between the right to disseminate works and the rights of
their creators, the protection of private life and, above all, the protection of
children." Raising the issue of scientific advances, especially in medicine,
President Chirac recalled that he had proposed the creation at the UN of a
global convention on bioethics and the creation of a World Ethics Committee.
The French President stressed
the North-South divide in the march towards increased justice and solidarity and
said this gap was particularly evident in the field of education. Referring to
Afghanistan, he said: "The fate of women, restricted, stripped of all rights,
and, in particular, of access to knowledge […] bears witness to the Taleban's
obscurantism but it also helps them maintains their control over the people:
educating women allows society to be free and progress."
President Chirac added: "We
must mobilize to fight poverty and promote education in the world, an education
that helps mutual understanding. […] Introducing more justice and equity into
globalization means making dialogue between peoples possible, preparing our
common future."
The French President concluded:
"Let us not be afraid of affirming the existence of universal ethics, the
ethics that inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human rights. Contrarily to
what is claimed by the enemies of freedom, and all fanatics, this ethical
framework is not a Western model, the Trojan Horse of hated civilizations. It is
humanist. It is of all peoples, of all nations and religions, because no
religion has been constructed on the annihilation of people, their
indifferenciation, or barring them from what is beautiful and good. More than
ever, we must defend [humanism], make it live, recognize its universal value.
Affirming this universality, entails stressing the solidarity which unites
humanity. It means proclaiming that every woman, every man, every child has
inalienable rights. It means seeking the expression of a common ideal in each
civlization. It means recognizing that truth is expressed in an infinite number
of languages."

Checking in was not as streamlined as it had been in August 2006 in Barcelona but we were on the ship by 12:15. The lines were not long but it seemed that everything was a little chaotic. I believe the person checking us in was "in training" so we weren't really bothered.
We got on board only to find that our room wasn't going to be available until 2:00 so we took our carry-on luggage and checked it so we could go eat lunch and have a look around the ship without lugging bags with us.
When we finally got into our room we folded out the sofabed to see how it fit and found that it would not lock in the open position. Our 16 year old daughter was going to be sleeping there and everytime she sat down it would fold up on her. So of course we call in to have it fixed. At 3:30 someone showed up. The "fixed" it by putting the sofa cushion under the bar. They said they would have the carpenter come fix it. Well, 9:30 that night we came back to our room and the cushion was still there. So we thought we would wait until morning and tell them again and ask for it to please be fixed by the time we come back from our shore excursion. That didn't happen and once again we went to the front desk and became the squeaky wheel. They were telling us that there was a work order and it would be fixed, but they couldn't tell us when it would be fixed. We insisted they take it up the chain because we wanted it fixed NOW as it was a safety hazard. My husband stayed in the cabin while I went to the Broadway show. He said some one came and wanted to just fix it but they would have to do so the next morning. At this my husband put his foot down and the head steward, after some discussion with someone else, decided they would switch it out with the sofabed in the next cabin (9033) since they only had two people in there. Then they made nice, nice and brought us three large chocolate chip cookies (very delicious by the way). We feel that if we hadn't squeaked so much they would have just let her sleep on the broken one the entire trip. Our advise if you are in cabin 9033 and need the sofa bed for someone to sleep, be careful when getting on it while it is open...it might just pop up and try to fold up on you.
Now, in spite of that beginning we did have a wonderful time on our cruise. Our daughter participated in the teen crew activities and had a wonderful time. She said the counselors were great and had some great activities for the teens.
We did the Sea Safari Snorkel by Boat excursion in Freeport. It was a very nice reef with lots of fish. The water was a bit choppy that day so everyone was required to wear a life vest. The boat had a slide and a rock climbing wall. After snorkeling we were able to walk around the shops and take the bus back to the ship at one of the shuttle times listed on the ticket they gave us when we boarded the bus to go to the excursion.
In Nassau we did the Discover Scuba. If you even think you want to try scuba diving, please do this excursion. It was well worth the money ($119 per person). They only took 10 people (one of which was just along for the ride). They split us into groups of three. One of the guides gave us instructions on the way to the reef. When we got to the reef the first group got their gear and got in the water. Everyone had to pass some basic drills at about 1 1/2 feet underwater before being allowed to go down to the bottom. When my husband, daughter and I got to go down our guide took our picture and fed the fish so they would all come to us. We even saw a starfish and the guide took pictures of each of us holding it. We all fell in love with scuba diving.
On Great Stirrup Cay we snorkeled. Yes, everyone has to wear a life vest, even if you have your own equipment. We didn't bring ours and we shelled out for rental equipment because the kid wanted to swim out to the rock barrier and I knew I wouldn't be able to make it without the flippers. It was nice but not spectacular. After lunch my husband and I walked to the lighthouse. The lighthouse itself wasn't that great but a little past it was a dock and a shallow bay. We waded around in there, as were several other people, and we saw conch shells and sand dollars. It was very pretty...much prettier than where everybody was lounging at the NCL side of the island. If we went again we would take our own equipment and spend most of the day over in that area, enjoying the quiet.
We ate at Cagney's one night. It was good but not great. Next cruise we will probably skip the specialty restaurant and just go to the main dining rooms.
Disembarkation was much smoother than embarkation. We got off at the final call for express walk-off (about 8:30) and were in our car by 9:00.
We will definitely sail with NCL again. This was our second trip with them, and we went into it figuring that the Sky is more of a "party ship" than the Jewel was so we weren't surprised that it was indeed just that. All in all it was a nice, relaxing trip and we got the "rock" to prove it. Yeah, Nassau has some pretty nice rocks that you can get for a nice price. Go to the "Shopping Talk with CJ" and you'll understand.

When it comes to selecting cars to test drive, the criteria I use is easy. Is it new? Is it interesting? So, it's been an interesting week behind the wheel of a 2002 Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe. After all, this car is DOA. GM ceased building them in late April, although they are still to be found on dealer lots. But, this car has become incredibly scarce. Only 2,638 will leave the factory in 2002. Only 7,713 were built last year. So, despite its familiar styling, my bright red test car turned quite a few heads. No doubt, it's the styling. Long one of my favorites, the car's modern take on the angular '67 Eldorado is masterful. The trunk's simple line is nestled between vestigial fins. The hood's crisp styling and tailored fenders are classic in their beauty. The large greenhouse has a massive, but stylistically essential, blind spot. All these things give the car its character. It is unmistakably an Eldorado. That also means that most other drivers probably assumed I was older than dirt. The best proof of this was being cut-off by a cap- wearing cretin while cruising in New Jersey. His BMW 530i (with its GM-sourced automatic transmission) was no match for the Northstar V- 8's 300-horsepower. As I watched his lack of progress from the Eldorado's rear-view mirror, the look of surprise on his face made my day. The old saying is true: there is no substitute for cubic inches. If you are interested in an Eldorado, you might want to know it comes in two trim levels, a base car and the Eldorado Touring Coupe (or ETC in Caddy speak.) The difference between the two is subtle, but significant. Both versions use Cadillac's Northstar engine. But the base car uses a lower horsepower version of the double-overhead- cam mill; 275 horses vs. 300 in the ETC. The ETC also gets a firmer suspension. While most enthusiasts would welcome this, the ETC's balance between handling and ride comfort is a little behind the rest of the Cadillac line. Part of this is due to the fact that the Cadillac rides on an older version of the G-Body platform unlike its DeVille and Seville stablemates. The Eldorado pounds over pothole-marked pavement, yet some wallowing still makes its way through. The steering is light, but the car is nimble enough to do some highway gymnastics. The rest of the car is pure modern Cadillac. The wood trim and leather upholstery has a rich, welcoming feel. Again, the details of the interior show how much better current stablemates are finished. The express-down drivers window has no express-up feature. The seats are somewhat lumpy and short, lacking good thigh or lower back support. The Bose audio system is good, but the sound lacks the punch of other Caddys. Still, it's style that sells cars and this Eldo has it in spades. Large two-door cars are automotive dinosaurs in the eyes of many automakers. The Lexus SC300/400, the Lincoln Mark series, even fellow-GM cars -- the Oldsmobile Tornado and Buick Riviera -- have all faded into history. So too will the Eldorado. The final run of 1,596 Collectors Edition Eldorados has been made: 1,064 in white and 532 in red. The Cadillac Museum will get the last one off the line. But there's still time to grab a piece of history. Ten years after the current generation's introduction, the Eldorado still has the styling and power to draw stares. Now that's interesting. CADILLAC ELDORADO TOURING COUPE Engine: 4.6-liter all-aluminum V-8 Transmission: 4-speed automatic Tires: P235/60HR-16 Wheelbase: 108 inches Length: 200.6 inches Width: 75.5 inches Weight: 3,865 pounds Cargo volume: 15 cubic ft.

BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Celtics selected Brazilian Lucas Nogueira with the No. 16 pick in the NBA draft amid reports that they were sending him to the Dallas Mavericks along with a pair of second-rounders to move up three spots.
Olynyk averaged 17.8 points and 7.3 rebounds while shooting 63 percent from the field while leading Gonzaga to a 32-3 season.
Olynyk would join a team with no coach that is attempting to trade its two biggest stars, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, to the Brooklyn Nets in a deal that would signal a major rebuilding for the squad that won the 2008 NBA title.

Job-seekers look to 2013 Erie Career Fair
Natalie Bartlett believes in the power of a career fair.
That's why three days after she moved to Erie in August 2012, she dug through her still-packed boxes to find a suit she could take to the dry cleaner.
She was headed to the 2012 Career Fair, and determined to find work.
Bartlett was back Wednesday for the 2013 edition of the event, sponsored by Career Concepts, the Erie Times-News and GoErie.com/Jobs.
But this time, Bartlett, who is now the restaurant manager at Wegmans on Peach Street, was the one behind the table looking for new employees.
Bartlett, who left the first career fair with five solid leads, said she wasn't entirely surprised by her success.
"I was hopeful," she said. "It's a whole, big fair. I was hoping someone would hire me."
That brand of optimism was in good supply at Wednesday's event, which was attended by more than 2,200 job seekers.
Friends Lona Freeman, 29, and Shiawna Lyons, 23, both of Erie, walked out feeling encouraged. Freeman said they had encouraging chats with Maple Doughnuts in Lake City and with a home health agency.
"I have been without a job almost all year," Freeman said. "I feel bad, I really do."
But like so many others at the Bayfront Convention Center, Freeman said she thinks things could change.
"I am hoping somebody calls me," she said.
James Sarnowski left hoping the same thing.
He doesn't hold any grudges about his last job. When state funding ran out in July, so did his job as a concierge and administrative assistant for the Erie County Career Link.
Sarnowski, who has been working steadily since he was 12, said he wants to get back to it.
Never mind that he's 83.
"My Dad gave me a great work ethic so I can't stay home and do nothing," he said.
In his old job, Sarnowski greeted people, set up for meetings and helped solve problems for clients and co-workers. Sarnowski said he's ready to sign on for more of the same.
"I'm very good at a front desk role," he said. "I like interfacing with people."
Sarnowski, who chatted with many of the 84 exhibitors, said he's confident he's going to find a job.
"Someone here is going to hire me," he said.
On a day when many dressed casually, some in shorts and jeans, Sarnowski wore a dark suit and tie with a color-coordinated pocket square.
"You never know who you're going to be talking to," he said.
More people should share that concern, said Doug Massey, manager of the business action team at the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership.
Massey said he noticed a decline this year in the way some job candidates were dressed for the career fair.
"You need to come dressed for success like you are going to have an interview," he said. "If I put myself in the place of an employer, I want a person who is going to represent my business well."
Some recruiters said they shared that sentiment. Others seemed simply intent on finding people willing and able to work. A recruiter from Perkins Restaurants was looking for 20 employees.
George Hepler, chief executive of Knickerbocker Equipment Co., came in search of a good mechanic or two.
Dashawn Thompson, 22, of Erie, who filled out job applications while his 2-year-old daughter clung to his back, was hopeful.
"If you keep trying, you can find something," he said.
JIM MARTIN can be reached at 870-1668 or by e-mail.

Watch parties canceled at Staples Center
Who says Lakers fans aren't rowdy?
The Lakers have decided not to hold any more watch parties at Staples Center during the NBA Finals. It's possible the video below had something to do with it.
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/mCrQwTNt2fI" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Here's the official statement from the team:
EL SEGUNDO – After meeting with law enforcement and city representatives, we have agreed to not open STAPLES Center for a public showing of any upcoming playoff games from Boston.
Because of concerns for resources needed to ensure the safety of fans throughout Los Angeles on nights when the games would be played as well as potential financial burdens on various City departments, we came to this decision.
On behalf of the Los Angeles Lakers, we encourage all of our fans to enjoy the upcoming games with friends and family and celebrate the championship run in a safe, responsible and respectful manner.

Skip to comments.Liberal Nostalgiacs Don't Understand Jobs of the Future
Posted on 04/23/2012 3:27:14 AM PDT by Kaslin
I don't know how many times I've seen liberal commentators look back with nostalgia to the days when a young man fresh out of high school or military service could get a well-paying job on an assembly line at a unionized auto factory that could carry him through to a comfortable retirement.
As it happens, I grew up in Detroit and for a time lived next door to factory workers. And I know something that has eluded the liberal nostalgiacs. Which is that people hated those jobs.
The assembly-line work was boring and repetitive. That's because management imbibed Frederick W. Taylor's theories that workers were stupid and could not be trusted with any initiative.
It was also because the thousands of pages of work rules in United Auto Workers contract, which forbade assembly-line speedups, also barred any initiative or flexible response.
That's why the UAW in 1970 staged a long strike against General Motors to give workers the option of early retirement, 30-and-out. All those guys who had gotten assembly line jobs at 18 or 21 could quit at 48 or 51.
The only problem was that when they retired they lost their health insurance. So the UAW got the Detroit Three auto companies to pay for generous retiree health benefits that covered elective medical and dental procedures with little or no co-payments.
It was those retiree health benefits more than anything else that eventually drove General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy and into ownership by the government and the UAW.
The liberal nostalgiacs would like to see an economy that gives low-skill high school graduates similar opportunities. That's what Barack Obama seems to be envisioning when he talks about hundreds of thousands of "green jobs."
But those "green jobs" have not come into existence despite massive government subsidies and crony capitalism. It's become apparent that the old Detroit model was unsustainable and cannot be revived even by the most gifted community organizer and adjunct law professor.
For one thing, in a rapidly changing and technologically advanced economy, the lifetime job seems to be a thing of the past. Particularly "lifetime" jobs where you work only 30 years and then get supported for the next 30 or so years of your life.
Today's young people can't expect to join large organizations and in effect ride escalators for the rest of their careers. The new companies emerging as winners in high tech -- think Apple or Google -- just don't employ that many people, at least in the United States.
Similarly, today's manufacturing firms produce about as large a share of the gross national product as they used to with a much smaller percentage of the labor force.
Moreover, there's evidence that recent growth in some of the professions -- the law, higher education -- has been a bubble, and is about to burst.
The bad news for the Millennial generation that is entering its work years is that the economy of the future won't look like the economy we've grown accustomed to. The "hope and change" that Barack Obama promised hasn't produced much more than college loans that will be hard to pay off and a health care law that lets them stay on Mommy and Daddy's health insurance till they're 26.
The good news is that information technology provides the iPod/Facebook generation with the means to find work and create careers that build on their own personal talents and interests.
As Walter Russell Mead writes in his brilliant the-american-interest.com blog, "The career paths that (young people) have been trained for are narrowing, and they are going to have to launch out in directions they and their teachers didn't expect. They were bred and groomed to live as house pets; they are going to have to learn to thrive in the wild."
But, as Mead continues, "The future is filled with enterprises not yet born, jobs that don't yet exist, wealth that hasn't been created, wonderful products and life-altering service not yet given form."
As Jim Manzi argues in his new book "Uncontrolled," we can't predict what this new work world will look like. It will be invented through trial and error.
What we can be sure of is that creating your own career will produce a stronger sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Young people who do so won't hate their work the way those autoworkers hated those assembly line jobs.
GM management, as usual, destroyed GM.
This comnmentary is by Michael Barone, not Michael Savage.
The only reasons the academic white towers offered this garbage is because it was easy for the lazy to matriculate, they received billions of dollars in tuition (most of it loans from students who could not afford them), and the curriculum was decidedly anti-Judeo-Christian and Western.
And here she is, a San Diego Mesa College graduate with a BS in "Black Studies."
What does the marketplace need with these graduates? Their only hope is a government grant job or an affirmative action hiring for a job they are totally unqualified for.
Oops, thanks. Before posting the article I read a thread title that someone posted about Michael Savage. (My cup of coffee hadn't worked yet)
Whew! Am I ever so glad we've grown beyond boring and repetitive jobs that promised a comfortable retirement. Nothing but excitement now. Whee.
Barone, not Savage.
IT-based productivity tools, on the other hand, are designed to help people to work more efficiently and productively at jobs that create something, or that provide a valuable service. In an America that doesn't promote the creation of new industry and small business, or at least the sustainability of existing industry and small business, there won't be an expanding market for IT-based productivity tools. Just my take.
Back in the early '70's (I think) the Detroit News or Free Press ran a week-long feature on boredom on the assembly lines. They interviewed workers and described in detail the down sides of having a job like that.
See post#7
"IT-based productivity tools, on the other hand, are designed to help people to work more efficiently and productively at jobs that create something, or that provide a valuable service."
Microsoft Project might be a good example of that.
Admin moderator: Author should be Michael Barone
I've pointed out for some time that real employers should run screaming from job candidates with these degrees. They have been trained to be anti-business nightmares, ready to sue at the drop of a hat. A high school graduate is a better bet. They haven't gotten all the nasty indoctrination from our modern academics.
>> In an America that doesn't promote the creation of new industry and small business, or at least the sustainability of existing industry and small business, there won't be an expanding market for IT-based productivity tools. <<
You seem to be operating — perhaps unconciously — under the Progressive-Utopian assumption that good things will happen if only "an America" (that is, an "enlightened" American government) will "promote" some specific plan to sustain existing businesses and industries.
But that's not how free-market capitalism works. America and her capitalist system have thrived for 200+ years precisely because there has been no overarching national "plan" and because the market has been allowed to engage continuously in "creative destruction."
Moreover, in those thankfully-rare instances where government has sought massively to promote a specific sector, like the effort during the 1990's and early 2000's to grow home-ownership among the minority population, and like Obama's recent love affair with solar panels, the results have generally been failures if not outright disasters.
So except for a few sectors that clearly are "natural monopolies" — like perhaps the Interstate Highway System —let's keep "an America" (that is, her government) out of wht you call "new industry and small business" and out of promoting "the sustainability of existing industry." If our fed and local governments will simply reduce regulation to the bare required minimum, reduce government spending, hold the line on taxes, and maintain a steady money supply, then the high-tech sector will do just fine — as will the rest of the American economy.
I call those degrees "Grievance studies",
much to the consternation and enragement of my libinlaws.
Average kids - not so much. Oh, they can throw up web sites and sell semi -useless information and/or physical products if they have a natural talent for self-promotion. But that isn't economic growth - it's rats fighting over crumbs.
Not even close. If that's the way it came across, then I need to get more sleep before writing. Rather than thinking of American government as 'enlightened', I generally think that elected office attracts marginally qualified people with delusions of grandeur. I don't for a second buy into the 'enlightened oligarchy' bs that many on the left - in a very self-serving manner - embrace.
I absolutely agree with you that the answers have to come from private individuals, not from some contrived government policy. What I was trying to say was that unless we stop punishing the successful, and stop the overregulation and taxation that is suppressing entrepreneurial activity in the US, we won't need IT because there will be no industry for IT to support. Paraphrasing what someone else said much more succinctly and better than I did on this thread, we aren't going to build a vibrant economy based on people writing apps for the iPad etc.
"... it fails to recognize that information technology has to have a purpose in order to have sustainable marketplace relevance - beyond entertainment."
Why? Do you have any examples to support this statement?
Television, movies, and commercial radio are examples of early information technoplogy that are 90-99% entertainment-based. Entertainment is a legitimate marketplace all by itself. Note the tremendous inroads these industries have made in the information tech market over the last 10-years. Like the telephone (another early IT technology), people use them for business, but people also use them for chit chat, personal (non-work-related) business or entertainment. Businesses advertise on facebook. If social media has no purpose, why would businesses do that?
You are correct in one sense; that there may not be a long-term future for current social media technology. Not for the reasons you cite, but because a better social media technology will replace them relatively quickly compared to the past.
I've never been impressed by Michael Barone. A private school brat, 'the Cranbrook School', and then Harvard. Too elite for my taste. And an Open Borders cheerleader as well.
Well said.
