"Another good one from Scalzi"
I like John Scalzi's work since I listened to the Old Man's War audiobook. That was the first one I have read from him.
The story of The Ghost Brigades happens in the same universe as the Old Man's War, and I loved that Sagan was part of this story. (If you don't know: Sagan is the clone of Perry's wife, who dies before Perry joins the army. Perry and Sagan have an interesting relation.) It gives extra connection to the previous book. By the way, it really helps if you read the Old Man's War, because a lot of ideas grow from that story, and you can understand better what's going on.
The Ghost Brigades could be a simple space-military type of book if it hadn't several layers. The base of the story: the Colonial Defense Forces fights against the threat from three alien species, who made an alliance against the humans. This already gives reason for a few exciting actions, like taking a research base by force or kidnapping the heir of an alien race. Or blow up the generator and shot the bad guys' base to pieces.
But more is at stake, because by the end of the book we learn that hundreds of races making alliance and other races are making their counter-alliance, so something BIG is going on in the background.
If we go deeper, we see how the Ghost Brigades soldiers are born. Or made would be the better word, because they are clones of people who died on Earth and didn't have the chance to join the CDF as Perry did in Old Man's War. Which raises a series of questions. How can they coop with the fact that they are very young yet fully grown adults? By their "teenager" years they could be retired veterans. And how can they develop an own consciousness? The Brainpal implant seems to solve this issue by providing all the necessary information while they discover the world.
Talking about the brain implant: it is amazing. Not only because it's like an endless source of information, but because it provides deep integration between soldiers. Scalzi unfolds the possibilities of this technology to several degrees, and uses it's impact to create compelling situations and also trouble. Which makes the story more interesting.
The implications of the consciousness-transfer is well done, and its contribution to the final conflict is well played out. Also brings some interesting questions: who really is Jared? The newborn CDF soldier or the incarnation of Boutin, the bad guy? Can the consciousness of Boutin take over completely, or Jared develops his own personality?
There are some really good twists and turns in the story. And of course, there is the characteristic Scalzi humor (for example the stone throwing), which is like a good spice to a delicious food.
It may seem too sentimental, but I liked the ending: Perry, Sagan and Zoe will be a family most probably. I suppose I will know more when I read Zoe's Tale.
"A good Scalzi book, excellent narrator"
Yes, the story is a well thought out sequel. I liked this universe a lot in Old Man's War and Scalzi does not disappoint in the follow-up. I have come to appreciate Scalzi's ability to provide advancement of the storyline through the dialog and not the narration. He manages to get so much natural depth without getting bogged down in one character "telling" another character something in order to get a point across.
The scene where Jared Dirac a cloned soldier of a scientist met the scientist's daughter , Zoe. Even though Dirac was not her natural father, being a clone of him, he had so much love and concern for her well being. Dufris was excellent in relaying the siginicance of the moment.
This series is the first Scalzi I have gotten that HASN'T been read by Wil Wheaton, who is one of my favorites. Dufris does a bang-up job on the reading. Voice characters are well done and easy to follow.
"Dead already?... Good!... Let's BEGIN ..."
Among the four books (Old Man's War), this one is the most scientific... Kinda like Siii-fi...
In general, the storyline is very smooth but some parts, a bit detailed.
There is one question though... HOW ON EARTH he came up with such astonishing ideas?
It is very difficult for me to express my true feelings without spoiling the story elements... but SERIOUSLY... like the first book, Ghost brigades introduces several ideas which I not only HOPE to see but also MIGHT able to see in the next coming years!
Not able to answer due to SPOILER Issues
Well, let me say it this way, in some "scenes"; he SYNCs your BRAIN with the TEXT EMOTIONS !
I don't want to answer this question! ... for no particular reason ... U know
"Smart SciFi light"
Ghost Brigades gives us a look inside the colonial Special Forces, which are mentioned in the previous books, but the details are vague - kind of the way the people in the books see them.
This time we get to see what it's like to be born full grown and trained to be a super solider. From the inside.
I called is smart sci-fi light because it does deal with a big philosophical issue, which is what science fiction is best at. But it doesn't get too preachy and takes a practical approach to the issue. That issue is "What makes us who we are?"
The characters are good, and we get to see Jane again, though she doesn't have a huge amount of page time.
I recommend the book to anyone, though I'd recommend starting with Old Man's War if you have already read it.
"Not nearly as good as book 1"
I was pretty disappointed that this book didn't even include the main character of the 1st book.
Overall I thought this was a slow and boring story and I just did not feel any connection to the characters. Not really sure if I will bother with the 3rd book.
"new Favorite Series"
Loved It. As good as Old Man's War and a perfect 2nd in the series.Scalzi is my new favorite SciFi author & this series is my new fave series. I had a real problem getting out of my car when i was listening! As with any story, there were a couple quirky moments that i would groan over, but for the most part Scalzi put together a compelling story with fantastic aliens, concepts & characters.William Dufris wouldn't have been my first choice but he grows on you. he does a fabulous job at isolating individual charaters, voices & timbres.I highly recommed this book and it's series.
"Good story and reader"
Be sure to listen to the first book in the series (Old Man's War) before this one, otherwise you'll be a little lost. I liked the first book a little better - but this one had some good twists and kept things interesting. Also liked the story line with the alien prisoner.
"Excellent follow-up"
No, not again. Great story, but something would have to be mind blowing for me to listen again.
The character development was very good.
Dead pan deliveries.
Not really. But the motivations of the traitor Butan (sic?) left me surprisingly conflicted. For 90% of it you think this guy is the devil. Then he is painted in a way that makes you wonder if he might be right.
"Not as good as the first book."
I liked it, but I was disapointed that it was very predictable and was not as amusing as the first book.
"What a great second book"
Is it possible that the story line could get better? At first, I missed the main character from the first book, but soon I was really invested in this new guy. Of course there were many character ties to the first... there would have to be... but for the most part this book could stand on its own and still be great.

The situation grows more absurd with each passing legislative session. The state Department of Economic and Community Development, acting on orders of the state legislature, continues to expend about $360,000 annually on the replica ship Amistad. Year after year, the allocation remains in the budget, even though there isn't any evidence that the ship is helping Connecticut's economy. Instead, the evidence suggests the ship has been spirited away from Connecticut, benefitting other economies.
The original Amistad was the location of an historic slave rebellion off Connecticut's coast. A landmark Supreme Court decision ultimately freed the rebellious men and returned them to Africa.
Connecticut has reasons to be proud of what the Amistad represents. Much of the post-rebellion story took place here. The skilled craftsmen at Mystic Seaport built the replica ship. A non-profit organization, Amistad America, obtained the state subsidy to carry out a mission of education and good will.
Thanks largely to coverage by this newspaper - no one at the state seemed to be paying any attention - the public learned a year ago about some troubling questions surrounding the management of the Amistad.
It was just about a year ago that Day columnist David Collins pointed out that Amistad America had lost its Internal Revenue Service nonprofit status for repeatedly failing to file tax returns. The board of directors, which has the job of overseeing operations and the use of that state money, was defunct. The Amistad was not being managed by a Connecticut business, but by a sail-training organization based in Maine. It spent little time here but for the occasional visit.
It was clear that the DECD had shoveled all that money to the Amistad organization with no follow-up to account for how the group was spending it. The state authorized a $78,000 audit to track the money. It was expected to be finished nearly six months ago. We're still waiting. State officials are expected to meet with the auditors next week to get an update.
Meanwhile, the Amistad spent the winter in the Caribbean, filming a TV series about pirates. It is now in Nova Scotia filming a series for the Canadian Broadcasting Company. The Amistad is scheduled to visit Connecticut this summer, arriving for a July 3 festival in New Haven and coming to New London July 11 for Sail Fest. That hardly justifies the state's annual investment.
The Connecticut legislature could have stopped the grants that keep flowing to Amistad America until it gets some answers. It didn't.
This embarrassment represents the kind of waste and lack of oversight that leaves the public distrustful of how government spends its tax dollars. It is difficult to believe the situation continues unaddressed.

Easy peanut butter cookie recipe....I did add a tsp. of vanilla extract. The dough is a breeze to work with! Made for PAC Fall 2012
Easy and tasty. Made for PAC Fall 2012.
These are fantastic! I followed the baking directions for chewier cookies and they were perfect. I used some special "gourmet" peanut butter that has chocolate, honey, and vanilla in it because I thought it would make fantastic peanut butter cookies - and I was right! Thanks so much for sharing!

UPDATE Shirley sent this…a 3D sweater…really not that uglie lol
She is wondering already what to make that will be uglier than this lol
We purchase a new ornament each year too that has Winnie the Pooh and Piglet on it. I was looking at those yesterday and 90% of them have come from the Hallmark Store here in town. I love that store! I buy a lot of my Christmas gifts for special friends there.
As Christmas draws near we are all reminded to keep those dear to us closer than ever in our hearts. And that is where you are dear Samm.
Your new blog banner is fabulous!! As soon as the blog loaded, my eyes went wide with excitement! Puts you in the Christmas spirit for sure!
I have never made a sweater and mainly the reason why I have not, is that it sure would have been ugly because I can only knit or crochet a straight line. lol
I've never made a sweater Samm - not even an ugly one. I do have two Christmas cardigans that I bought years and years ago, and which are headed out to the thrift shop today. They are covered with Christmas ornaments, snowmen, etc. They aren't ugly...just a bit over the top. I have no idea why I have two since I never wore the first one. Maybe it was a two for one sale. :) Love, love, love the new banner! Hope your dear one is doing well.... blessings, marleneReplyDelete
Ooooooohhhhhhhh I so wish I had pictures of the sweaters I made of my Mom and Mother-in--law way back there!! I knit each one of them a cardigan with variegated yarn. I am not a knitter; they turned out very well, considering...lol. They were quite large and the yarn made the ugliest sweaters!!!! one green and the other browns....oh my; they were so warm they loved them....big, ugly warm things hanging off them all winter. Mother-in-law kept hers for as long as I can remember,too!!!! lol
Have a very Merry Christmas Madame and take care there. Thinking of you.
Oh, my, your new header makes me look forward to snow and I really don't like winter at all. If I made a sweater, it would definitely be ugliieee. I've never done much more that a chain in crochet and knitting? lol I know how to embellish though....
Take a little time for your self and your loved ones. It IS important and YOU matter.
I can barely make a washcloth, and they are ugly enough! If I could make a sweater, it might be uglee but I would be very impressed with myself. I am not as talented asyou and so many of your followers. :)ReplyDelete
Love your new header! How beautiful!
Enjoy your time with your special someone this holiday season! It's coming up really quickly, isn't it?
No ugly for me! Well something that might be pretty to me may be totally ugly to someone else!
Thanks for the chance, Jessica
I've never owned an ugly sweater, but I've seen quite a few in my lifetime. Your header is just beautiful!ReplyDelete
I love your ornament :) and I also do not own an ugly sweater, Christmas or otherwise .... but I do wish you luck! This year's tradition of Hallmark ornaments will be foregone for handcrafted ones by the kiddos ... and I think I will come out the winner also :) Hugs to you and your dear ones!!
I'm no help in the ugly sweater department... sorry. Enjoy your holidays and spend that special time with a special person!ReplyDelete
I use to have 4, yes count them 4, what I now would count as ugly sweaters! I would wear them during December. Now I am wearing denim shirts with Christmas embroidery. I know way out of date, but some day they will be in style again, lol! I actually think that sweater ornament is just 2 cute. Enjoy your December and snow.ReplyDelete
Congratulations to the Black Tie Boogie winners!ReplyDelete
Are you looking for deliberately ugly sweaters, or accidental ones? I went looking through old blog pictures and found some really scary ones I'd made for the kids over the years. I put some of them together into a new blog post -- http://mychellem.blogspot.com/2013/12/accidentally-ugly-sweaters.html
There are at least three or four more that I don't have pictures of.
No I don't think I've had an ugly sweater, I used to wear polyester hip hugger bell bottoms with white cowboy boots and a white belt...oh and a crop top, does that count? But hey...I was stylin back in 1973. your header reminds me of .....Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland.
I've never made one but when I see one...it puts a smile on my face! I can't wait to see what you have planned for 2014. MERRY CHRISTMAS!ReplyDelete
No sweaters for me...yet anyway, maybe one of these days LOL Loving your new blog banner...very pretty.ReplyDelete
LOL Oh heavens...the look on his face is priceless!!!ReplyDelete
I wouldn't call those sweaters ugly but I don't think I would ever wear one of them!ReplyDelete
LOL - oh my goodness, that nose!! Certainly, um... festive!
I have never made an ugly sweater, that could be a lot of fun though. I absolutely love your new header. The little red sled propped against the tree is just perfect.ReplyDelete
If I knew how to knit I'd knit ugly Christmas sweaters, I think theyre so fun!! That snowman sweater is hilarious!!ReplyDelete
You think they are just words...they are sew much more than that...your wee messages tell me, you are kind, smart and important...

I always get this question: What is the most important metric you rely upon for REIT investing? My answer, of course, is that a dividend increase provides the best possible evidence of safety and I "sleep well at night" when I see a dividend that's just been raised.
That one metric provides me with a considerable amount of data and the most important piece of the news is the most important commitment by the company to shareholders - that speaks plainly that management is strongly committed to increasing the dividend that shareholders are counting on.
A dividend increase also sends a message that the company's earnings stream can be relied upon and that the underlying business model is sustainable. In the Ultimate Dividend Playbook, the author, Josh Peters, sums up the signal inherent with a stock that increases its dividend over time:
Durability implies that the firm can take a financial punch in one year and come back swinging the next.
Although not the only metric, I consider a consistent dividend increase to be a primary ingredient in my SWAN (sleep well at night) portfolio in my monthly newsletter. There are many other metrics that I research and evaluate; however, most are tied to the same common thread of the dividend payment - the ultimate sign of corporate strength.
One way to hedge against inflation is to focus on stocks that are likely to boost their dividends on a regular basis. Inflation can reap havoc to an investment strategy and one way to stave off the effects of inflation is to make sure your portfolio includes companies with a pattern of boosting dividends.
Alternatively, many income investors are looking for monthly dividend payments to support their income during retirement. By investing in REITs that pay monthly you're able to better match fund your living expenses and create a more disciplined approach to saving and investing. Many retirees (and even students) like receiving monthly rewards (in the form of dividends) as they provide me the flexibility of paying a household bill, enjoy a round of golf, or eating out at a favorite restaurant.
Others, like me, simply enjoy putting their money back to work -- like owning a free share machine. Many pre-retirement investors want monthly dividend stocks for their IRAs for faster compounding. The longer you hold your shares, the higher the yield you will receive on your original investment and the greater the impact of the "cumulative dividend effect".
That "cumulative dividend effect" means that the longer you own your shares, the less remaining original principal you have invested in the company. These combined benefits are only available with companies that pay reliable dividends that are regularly increased over time.
REITs Are Much Better Than Rentals
More and more REITs are now paying monthly dividends. The logic is simple: Retail investors enjoy the benefits of owning shares that make bill paying easy. However, the benefits don't end there.
Companies that pay quarterly (or semi-annually) almost always announce the payment of their next dividend payment at the time of the payment period. However, companies that pay monthly provide more frequent communication (to investors) and if the company increases, reduces, or suspends a payment, the shareholder can move quicker to react to the good or bad news.
Another advantage is that investors like me who reinvest dividends will return almost 1% more yearly than quarterly payors. That's due to the laws of compounding. As Marc Lichtenfeld explains in Get Rich with Dividends:
Compounding takes a while to get started, but once it does, it's like a runway train going downhill, picking up momentum each year.
Lichtenfeld went on to explain:
If you're an investor who doesn't need the income right now and can put off instant gratification for long-term benefits, reinvesting your dividends can generate the kinds of returns you probably thought were possible.
One of the best things that I enjoyed while owning commercial real estate was collecting rent checks. A few years back I owned around 20 duplexes and although some of the properties were mortgaged, I had a rush every month that I went "door to door" to collect the rent. Most of my tenants paid me in cash and it was extremely rewarding to deposit a wad of cash in the bank.
Of course I couldn't keep the cash. After paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and frequent repairs, I ended up with beer money.
However, the feeling I get today - owning high quality real estate (in the form of REITs) with monthly income (and no expenses to pay) - is incredible. My learning curve taught me a lot and my biggest lesson was that I'm much better at hiring an experienced management team being a "weekend handyman". By owning REITs I get a much more reliable source of income and I don't have to worry about the 3 T's" - Toilets, Trash, or Taxes.
13 REITs That Pay Monthly
Besides having professional management, there are many other reasons that I prefer REITs to Rentals, the most essential being liquidity and diversification.
Liquidity is simple. I can get my money back at anytime. REITs are publicly traded and that means that there are buyers and sellers 24 hours a day.
In terms of diversification, there are over 140 US equity REITs and around 36 mortgage REITs. Instead of owning 20 duplexes in one town, I can invest in 5 REITs that own properties in 50 states. There is really no limit to diversification and the number of sub-sectors is increasing every year.
In terms of REITs that pay monthly, I have included a list of 13 companies. Although all of these REITs do pay monthly, I would not necessarily recommend that you buy all of them. For simplicity, I have classified these REITs in 3 buckets: BUY, SELL, and HOLD.
The list of REITs that pay monthly include American Realty Capital Properties (ARCP), Armour Residential (NYSE:ARR), Chatham Lodging Trust (NYSE:CLDT), Chambers Street (NYSE:CSG), EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR), Gladstone Commercial (NASDAQ:GOOD), Gladstone Land (NASDAQ:LAND), Inland Real Estate (NYSE:IRC), LTC Properties (NYSE:LTC), Realty Income (NYSE:O), STAG Industrial (NYSE:STAG), Wheeler Real Estate (NASDAQ:WHLR), and Whitestone Real Estate (NYSEMKT:WSR).
Starting with the SELL bucket is Armour Residential. On September 18th the REIT disclosed the monthly cash dividend rate for the company's common stock of 5 cents per share for the fourth quarter, a decrease from its previous dividend of 7 cents per share.
Also, both Gladstone REITs are on my SELL list and to learn more about Gladstone Commercial, check out my latest article HERE. I'm also including Wheeler on my SELL list. It's clear that the company has a very high dividend yield of 9.72%; however, I'm not confident that the company can sustain it and the credit quality and tertiary market strategy doesn't rest well with me. With the exception of Gladstone Land, all of these REITs appear to be attractive from a yield perspective, but I don't consider them safe (based on my standards).
The next bucket is the HOLD category. American Realty Capital Properties has been an amazing REIT, primarily fueled by non-traded REIT investors, financial planners, and hedge funds. I'm not sure that the dividend is sustainable and I have decided to maintain a neutral position in this REIT until the dust settles with the recent Cole Real Estate (NYSE:COLE) merger.
EPR Properties has done an excellent job since it cut its dividend in 2010. I believe the continued diversification into non-cinema related assets is helping to grow confidence as well as the company's prudent capital management. However, I believe there are better Triple Net REITs that provide better risk-adjusted returns.
LTC Properties has also clawed back its entire dividend cut in 2009; however, I see more compelling opportunities with Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE:OHI) and although Omega doesn't produce a monthly reward, I believe it's a better option for me. (See my article on LTC HERE and my article on OHI HERE).
Finally, Whitestone throws off an 8.1% dividend and the highest yield in the shopping center sector. However, I have a similar concern with asset quality and the frequency in dividend cuts over the years. That's what Josh Peters (in The Ultimate Dividend Playbook) refers to as a "sucker-yield" stock. (see my article on WSR HERE).
Now, saving the best from last is the BUY bucket with 5 REITs. These more sustainable brands all share the common attribute that I spoke of at the beginning of this article - they all provide a more durable dividend component.
These REITs are as follows (in no random order): Chatham Lodging Trust, Chambers Street, Inland Real Estate, Realty Income, and STAG Industrial. I would say that from a valuation perspective, Chambers Street is the cheapest (with a P/FFO of 12.4x); however, Realty Income has the best track record of paying dividends with over 19 years in a row of dividends paid and increased.
I guess that I just answered my second most asked question: What is your favorite REIT today? With a name like "The Monthly Dividend Company" Realty Income has become a trademark REIT built on the power of repeatable sources of income. That differentiation is also the prime source of competitive advantage and the primary attribute that separates the good from the great.
I was attending an event in Miami a few weeks ago and Gary Player was there. That reminded me of a quote I heard from Player a few years ago and it seems to be fitting for the close of this article. Player said,
Greatness is Talent Applied Consistently.
Yes, Realty Income is a Great REIT That Happens to Also Pay Monthly Dividends. I own it and I will continue to reinvest my dividends until one day, I will have a wad of cash that will allow me to live off of. Then, I will just sit around writing Seeking Alpha articles on my laptop waiting on my monthly dividend checks.
But for now, I'll let the power of compounding work for me so its off to bed...and while I'm "sleeping well at night" my divided checks are working hard - day and night!

7 Vital Tips for Avoiding Back Injury as a Nurse
The nursing profession requires a ton of heavy lifting – figuratively and literally. Unfortunately, this means those who practice it tend to be prone to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), such as back injuries. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that, as of December 2014, nursing assistants have some of the highest incidence rates of MSDs, totaling about 393 across private, state and local government sectors.
Unsung Healthcare Heroes: Inspired Comfort Winners Announced
Co-workers describe Laurie Ketterl, a nurse manager in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), as someone who continually challenges her peers to think outside of the box in order to provide excellent patient care. Ketterl jumped into action earlier this year when a premature baby, born at just 29 weeks, and his critically ill mother were in separate Intensive Care Units. Since the mother had never seen her son and would soon undergo a life-saving surgery, Ketterl arranged for the mother and baby to see each other for the very first time via a video call using two iPads. When the mother kissed her child on the forehead using the screen, surrounding staff watched in amazement as the baby responded with a kick. Thanks to Ketterl's innovation and exceptional care, the hospital's foundation has since funded iPads for the NICU.
How to Make a Glove Christmas Tree
Unfortunately, working holidays is also a big part of the nursing game. One holiday that many nurses find particularly difficult to work is on Christmas. So many nurses miss the time with their families and familiar traditions.
But there's no reasons to let working holiday's completely bum you out. There are plenty of ways you can spruce up your work setting and making even create a few new holiday traditions, like perhaps a glove Christmas tree.
Heart Rate and 3 Other Medical Tests You Can Do At Home
Your ability to perform medical tests with equipment you have on hand may mean the difference between finding a potentially life threatening ailment before it becomes a real problem. It could help identify some symptoms if a doctor isn't present, and give you an idea of someone's state of health. Whenever possible, you should seek real medical attention from a certified professional, but in a pinch there are a few tests you should know about…
Knowing Your Family History is Good for Your Health
(Family Features) A number of celebrities have graced recent headlines by making some drastic decisions about their health, and in turn, raising awareness for the importance of knowing one's family medical history. For instance, according to the CDC, a history of breast, cervical or ovarian cancer indicates a strong risk of cancer in some women, and thus proactive and preventative measures, like having a mastectomy or hysterectomy, may be warranted.
Care Beyond Treatment
To the lay person, a nurse's job may seem pretty simple: Nurses provide care for patients.
But the word "care" is a bit complicated. In a medical sense, it means to tend to needed procedures, carry out instructions from physicians, and do the clinical things that are required for an ill or injured person.
On top of all that scientific caring, there's sociological caring as well. That means providing an equal level of commitment to the emotional situation, making sure that the patient and family members are coping with the complexities of their particular cases.

Ever Considered Being an Egg Donor? Hear Lisa's Story
Many women struggle with various infertility issues and treatments. Some of these women use donor eggs, fertilized and implanted through IVF, to help carry successful pregnancies to term. Donor eggs are growing in popularity, but very little is said about the women who contribute these donations. Like My Egg Bank, most egg donation companies keep donors anonymous, meaning we rarely hear egg donor stories straight from the women who make it a possibility.

Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by provencedelsol: Interesting cruise
Overall Member Rating
Interesting cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We are veteran cruisers and were dubious about a ship this large. This cruise had 3900+ passengers with 1300 "junior cruisers." The water park features certainly satisfied many of the younger set.
We were in a balcony cabin. It was very modest in size. The balcony was about 50% of the cabin size. Beds were short. Both of us are 6' and over and our feet plus some hung over the edge of the mattress.
I was most disappointed by the movement away from the all inclusive model of cruising. While the number of dining and entertainment venues is large, most involve an additional fee. None, including the Cirque du Soliel dinner were worth the expense. While the entertainment was entertaining, the food was forgettable. Fortunately, the portions were minuscule so there wasn't much to forget.
We found service to be dependable in all venues. The TV programming was disappointing. No free movies; a few news channels. All designed to have you out of the cabin purchasing More extra entertainment.
We didn't leave the ship, having experienced all the ports previously, so can't comment on the tours.
The high profile of the ship made for more motion than was expected. The stabilizers didn't offset the wind effect on the superstructure. Although the seas were generally modest the motion was greater than normal. Maybe too much of a good thing.
We had a good time, but once on this monster was enough. Less

Mutualisms, interactions between species that are beneficial to both partners, are useful systems for investigating how interactions may affect the evolution and diversification of lineages. Interactions between ants and plant species of the genus Cecropia are a classic example of mutualism but the origin and evolution of the mutualism is poorly understood. We examined whether the inclusion of an exon-primed intron-crossing (EPIC) marker could improve our understanding of Cecropiaeae phylogeny. We performed a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 15 species from which EPIC sequences were obtained (Fig. 2). By comparing clade support from analyses with and without EPIC, we concluded that the addition of a third gene region strongly supports the hypothesis that the Afrotropical and antless genus Musanga was derived from a Cecropia ancestor and is most closely related to the antless neotropical species C. sciadophylla (Fig. 1). en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US phylogenetic evolution mutualism tree genetics sequencing The Phylogenetic Utility of EPIC DNA Sequences in the Tribe Cecropieae Other

Images removed from digital file. The Order of the Society Jesus was among the foremost creators and commissioners of Counter-Reformation Baroque art. Founded in 1534 by St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Jesuits came to be regarded as one of the most potent forces of the Counter-Reformation, due at least in part to the order's high visibility through their worldwide network of building projects. Part of art history's continuing fascination with the Jesuits involves the controversial search for a "Jesuit Style" of art, an approach to image production that is immediately identifiable as Jesuitical. Though a thorough discussion of the Jesuit style is outside the limits of this paper, the Jesuit worldview (including the Jesuit perception of the role of art) is central to interpreting how artists were employed in constructing Jesuit self-identity. Nowhere is this process of identity-construction more apparent than in The Church of St. Ignatius in Rome, built to celebrate both Ignatius and the active ministry of his order throughout the globe. 279422 bytes application/pdf en_US University of Oregon Pozzo, Andrea, 1642-1709 Jesuit art -- Italy -- Rome Church decoration and ornament -- Italy -- Rome Art, Baroque -- Italy -- Rome Pozzo's Perspective: Visual Hagiography in the Church of St. Ignatius, Rome Article

Twelve months later, the company collapsed. This paper tracks the events of those twelve months, particularly the actions of the Reading's president, Archibald A. McLeod, or as his contemporaries called him, "the Napoleon of Railroads." Though state and federal government committees proposed legislation to curb the Reading's burgeoning power, the source of the Reading's troubles was more clandestine. Ultimately, John Pierpont Morgan played the decisive role in the collapse, usurping McLeod's ambitions to regain control of the Reading. The story displays important features of American railroad business during the 1890's: the role of government, monopolistic discourse, and divergent meanings of a company. But more fundamentally, the collapse harmed all Americans, as it began the Panic of 1893. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved. The Reading Railroad 1892-1893: Combination to Collapse Other

Sexuality, Gender, and US Imperialism after Philippine Independence: An Examination of Gender and Sexual Stereotypes of Pilipina Entertainment Workers and US ServicemenSantos, Paulla (University of Oregon, June 10, 2015)[more][less]Santos, Paulla 2016-05-10T18:41:34Z 2016-05-10T18:41:34Z 2015-06-10 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/19855 Submitted to the Undergraduate Library Research Award scholarship competition: 2015-2016. 28 pages This paper examines the continuation of US imperialism in the Philippines after Philippine Independence in 1946 through the gendered and sexual stereotypes of US men and Philippine women. These perceptions of the women as submissive and dependent were constructed through women's interactions with US military men, who were seen as powerful and wealthy. The Philippine presidencies of Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino also transformed identities particularly of Philippine women. This paper illuminates instances of Pilipina agency that show many Pilipinas were not simply victims to US power, but also sought employment opportunities in order to provide for themselves, their families, and their country.

The Sovietization of Commemoration: The Anti-Religious and Ideological Functions of Soviet Secular Life-Cycle RitualsWilson, Lisa (University of Oregon, March 19, 2014)[more][less]Wilson, Lisa 2015-04-09T19:27:31Z 2015-04-09T19:27:31Z 2014-03-19 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18848 Submitted to the Undergraduate Library Research Award scholarship competition: 2014-2015. 25 pages. The Soviet campaign to establish an atheist society brought into question the status of life-cycle rituals, the ceremonial markers of major life transitions. Because the development and administration of such rites as christenings, weddings, and funerals had been traditionally dominated by religious authorities, the Soviet state grappled with instituting its own system of secular life-cycle rituals, ideally imbued with uniquely Soviet socialist values. This paper first examines the debate around secular rites in the Soviet Union, which culminated in a second wave of life-cycle ritual development as part of Khrushchev's anti-religious campaign. It then discusses the forms of Soviet christenings, weddings, and funerals performed from the late 1950s through the end of the Soviet period before concluding with an assessment of the mixed success of these secular life-cycle rituals in relation to their intended functions as replacements for religious ceremonies and as tools for instilling Soviet scientific atheism. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US Soviet socialism secular rites atheism life-cycle ceremonies The Sovietization of Commemoration: The Anti-Religious and Ideological Functions of Soviet Secular Life-Cycle Rituals Other

The role that temperament plays in predisposing individuals to these particular pathways was also examined. Logistical regression analyses revealed that internalizing symptoms and social-externalizing problems were significant risk pathways to the development of depression. Moreover, mediation analyses revealed that high negative emotionality, high affiliation, low effortful control and low surgency were significant vulnerability factors for the internalizing symptom pathway, whereas low effortful control was the only significant mediational predictor for the social-externalizing problem pathway. As such, high levels of effortful control acted as a protective factor for the development of depression across both symptom pathways, suggesting that is may be an important target for prevention strategies. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US Temperament and Symptom Pathways to the Development of Adolescent Depression Other

The standard narrative on public health posits a transition in most American cities during the final third of the nineteenth century from politicized, ad hoc, and sanitation-based responses to professionalized, institutionalized, and bacteriological-based public health. While that transition certainly did take place, it did not take place smoothly or instantaneously, and many American cities went through periods of adjustment that few scholars have addressed. This essay examines the realities of how public health functioned on the ground during this formative and transitional era by looking at the town of Wheeling, West Virginia during the decade of the 1880s. en_US University of Oregon rights_reserved The Tumultuous Nature of American Public Health at the Grassroots Level During a Transitional Decade: Wheeling, West Virginia, 1880-1890 Other

Mutations in the USH2A gene, which encodes the protein Usherin, are responsible for Usher syndrome type 2A (USH2A). Patients diagnosed with USH2A have congenital hearing impairment that ranges from moderate to severe and experience progressive vision loss beginning in the second decade of life. This progressive vision loss, called retinitis pigmentosa (RP), is due to degeneration of the photoreceptor cells in the retina, which initially causes night blindness and progresses to tunnel vision.

The Babylo Activo Baby Walker is nice and sturdy and was easy to assemble and adjust the height as my baby has grown. I've also been able to remove the seat and sponge clean as needed. The detachable toy tray is great as when you, or the baby, get bored of the tunes, you can add a toy of your choice to the empty tray.

Curried Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen
Chicken and broccoli get smothered in a creamy mushroom sauce that has just a touch of curry powder. The whole casserole is topped with[ Cheddar and breadcrumbs and baked until golden and bubbly.]
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for buttering the baking dish
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
- Two 10 1/2-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar
- 1 cup dried breadcrumbs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2- to 3-quart baking dish.
Steam the broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, covered, until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, steam it in a saucepan with water over medium-high heat. Drain and set aside.
Fill a large high-sided skillet with about 1inch water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and cook until just opaque, about 5 minutes. Drain the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Stir together the mushroom soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice and curry powder in a large bowl.
Arrange the broccoli on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then top with the chicken and then the mushroom soup mixture. Sprinkle the top with the Cheddar and breadcrumbs.
Dot the top with the butter. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Vineyard Glazed Chicken
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
- Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 pieces mixed chicken thighs and drumsticks, about 2 1/2 pounds
- 1/2 cup seedless black grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
Bring wine, sugar, shallot, garlic, rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a boil in medium saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 12 minutes. Let wine mixture cool completely.
Pour wine mixture into a medium bowl. Add the chicken pieces, cover and marinate mixture for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cover the top insert of a 2 piece broiler pan with foil, place on bottom pan. Evenly space the chicken on the pan skin-side up, reserving marinade. Roast the chicken until cooked through about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small skillet and add the grapes. Bring mixture to a rolling boil, and cook until the grapes are tender, about 5 minutes. Baste the chicken with the grape mixture, including both the grapes and the liquid every 15 minutes until the chicken and grapes are glazed and the chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. Serve.

Seagate (STX +3.1%) and Western Digital (WDC +3.3%) are both up sharply after leading hard drive suspension assembly supplier Hutchinson (HTCH +13%) reported preliminary Dec. quarter sales that soundly beat consensus estimates, and did so on the back of 13% Q/Q and 12% Y/Y assembly shipment growth.
Storage hardware vendor Quantum's guidance hike might be helping the hard drive kingpins as well.
Noble Financial observes Hutchinson's Q/Q shipment growth (attributed to strong demand for 2.5" notebook drives) is "welcome news" given Seagate/Western had guided for roughly flat industry hard drive shipments for the Dec. quarter.
The firm is reiterating a Buy on Hutchinson, but also thinks the company needs to ship 130M assemblies/quarter (up from a Dec. quarter level of 115.7M) to break even.
Western reports on Jan. 22, and Seagate on Jan. 27.

I love that this shower gel feel and smells great while missing any of the long list of harmful ingredients most shampoos and shower gels contain. I do wish it smelled a little more like ylang ylang and a little less like clove, but I really enjoy it. :)

What a world we live in: Ford Motor (NYSE:F) presented top financial results at the end of January. Full-year pre-tax profits came in at $8.6 billion with record profits in North America and Asia/Pacific. Ford Motor also reported a gross cash position of nearly $25 billion and net cash of $9.1 billion giving the company substantial firepower to develop its fleet and grow its market share. Ford released a series of positive news in February highlighting the success and the competitiveness of its car portfolio in key emerging markets such as China and India.
Ford China's sold wholesale vehicles reached 94,466 in January 2014 compared to 61,567 in January 2013 -- a y-o-y increase of 53%. Passenger car sales increased by 63% to 72,598 vehicles in January 2014 versus 44,439 vehicles sold in January 2013. Despite whopping sales growth in the most attractive car market in the world, a high cash position and record profits, Ford Motor trades at less than eight times earnings and 0.41 times sales.
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), on the other hand, the much-hyped electric car company, presented results on February 19, 2014: The car manufacturer sold 6,892 Model S vehicles in the fourth quarter 2013, which equates to approximately 2,300 vehicles a month. Tesla was never clumsy in attracting investor attention: The company positioned itself in a growth market with seemingly endless growth opportunities and had a sexy product: Its flagship Tesla Model S which also achieved high customer satisfaction ratings.
Negative news being ignored
However, I still think there is way too much hype surrounding the company. For one, it was just recently reported that another Tesla caught fire in Toronto (source Reuters):
Feb 14 (Reuters) - Electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc. said it has not yet determined how a Model S sedan parked in its owner's garage in Toronto caught fire earlier this month.
The fire comes a month after Tesla revamped the software and the wall adapters used to charge the batteries in its cars, following a November garage fire involving a Model S in Irvine, California. The Model S involved in the Toronto fire was not being charged, according to a media report.
Tesla said it has "definitively determined" that the Toronto fire did not originate in the battery, the charging system, the adapter or the electrical receptacle, noting that these components were untouched by the fire.
"In this particular case, we don't yet know the precise cause," Tesla said in a statement.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it was aware of the fire in Canada.
"Since the incident occurred outside the territorial boundaries of the United States, the agency will be in contact with the manufacturer and others to gather the facts and take whatever action is warranted by the circumstances," the NHTSA said in a statement.
News of three road fires last fall in Model S sedans, including two in the United States and one in Mexico, caused Tesla's stock to drop sharply in October, although the stock's price since then has risen to just above $200. The NHTSA is investigating the two U.S. fires.
Clearly worrisome news didn't affect Tesla's share price at all: Shares of the electric car manufacturer just marked a new 52-week High at $215.21 and held up above the $200-mark. Optimism has returned over the last two months, which indicates how quickly sentiment can change with respect to 'spotlight-companies' such as Tesla.
Performance results
Tesla achieved fourth quarter GAAP revenues of $615 million versus $431 million in Q3 2013 (a plus of 43%) and versus $306 million in last year's fourth quarter (an increase of 101%). Tesla's gross profit also increased to $157 million compared to $103 million in Q3 2013 and $24 million in Q4 2012. Despite strong topline growth, Tesla reported another net loss of $16 million compared to a net loss of $38 million in Q3 2013 and a net loss of $90 million in Q4 2012. Tesla's net loss per diluted share came in at $0.13 vs. $0.32 in the previous quarter and $0.79 in the year ago quarter.
Although Tesla achieved a positive free cash flow of $40 million in the fourth quarter, full-year free cash flows (defined as operating cash flows minus capital expenditures) came in at ($6.2) million.
Over-the-top valuation and downside risk
Tesla's free cash flow profitability was previously a serious concern for me and I don't think that the company's results, despite decent y-o-y improvements, justify a current forward P/E ratio of 60 and a P/S ratio of 13 -- especially with Ford's results and valuation metrics in comparison. Add to that the ongoing uncertainty about the investigation by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which, in the worst case, could impose substantial costs for Tesla if recalls are required.
Tesla's share price reaches a new 52-week High just when negative news about Tesla's Model S resurface. Bubbles often have in common that bullish investors ignore negative events that indeed pose serious financial risks for a company. Instead, infinite optimism rules the stock price. Investigations by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, however, should be a clear warning sign for investors who dismiss the severity of the situation. In addition, Tesla still trades at massively inflated earnings and sales multiples, which are difficult to justify. The company still sells negligible amounts of vehicles compared to other car manufacturers, which exhibit fundamentally better financial and valuation metrics. Tesla remains hopelessly overvalued and I reiterate my Short position in the car manufacturer.
