Great Vacation with a few : Norwegian Spirit Cruise Review by tmcmom
Overall Member Rating
Great Vacation with a few
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
The crew on the Spirit was wonderful. Our room steward Renato never missed an opportunity to greet us and inquire about our day, and was quick to respond to the few requests we made of him. The staff at the Biergarten were friendly and attentive but never obtrusive. There are opportunities for improvement in the main dining rooms, however. While always pleasant and responsive, wait staff seemed a little overextended. It took a little extra time for food to arrive between courses, and dessert and after-dinner coffee rarely arrived at the same time. Late one evening while dining with our new found Cruise Critic friends we did get to meet a few wonderful waiters who entertained us with magic tricks.
Navigation on this ship took a little getting used to, because very often you could not walk all the way around the deck, but would be More routed through the same hall.
We enjoyed Taste of India, and would recommend it to anyone. Just make sure you have an empty stomach and two hours to spare when you start!
We ate most meals in the main dining room, with lunch from the buffet outside of Biergarten a few times as well as a couple chaotic breakfast experiences at Raffles. Food on the buffet was not always hot as I like it, but it was always edible. My only other comment on the food was that as someone who never adds salt to my cooking, I felt that many items were heavy on this seasoning.
Both embarkation and debarkation went smoothly. Our room was ready when we arrived, and our luggage arrived before muster drill. We carried our own bags off the ship and had no problem.
We really enjoyed Elements - it was as any show we've seen in Vegas. The music in Champagne Charlies was way too loud for conversation.
All in all it was a great time, made even more pleasant by the fun group of people we met through our ship's Roll Call. Less

For decades, the Yadkin Valley was a key tobacco-growing region. However, as tobacco farming and cigarette manufacturing in the area declined, some growers, including tobacco farmers, have turned to wine-making. The native grapes of the Yadkin Valley in western North Carolina are the Muscadine and the Scuppernong. Early attempts to grow the European wine grape, Vitis vinifera, in the southeastern United States, including 18th century efforts by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, Virginia, had mixed success. But in the past two to three decades, viticultural research has helped adapt these grapes to the climate, soil, and pests of the wine region.
Today, the 1.4 million‐acre Yadkin Valley, just west of Winston‐Salem, is home to exquisite vineyards and wineries and was approved as North Carolina's first American Viticultural Area (AVA). The Yadkin Valley designation appears on bottles when wine is made from 85 percent grapes grown in this region. The majority of wineries offer tours and tastings.
Brushy Mountain Winery is an urban winery located in the heart of Elkin's historic district. Our recently remodeled tasting room, where trend meets tradition, is a place to gather and enjoy good wine and good company in a "sophisticasual" atmosphere.

The Delta is one of the premiere windsurfing spots in California. Thermal breezes travel up the long fetch of the Sacramento River generating great swell and chop for fun starboard air.
Advanced Windsurfers | Sherman Island County Park Guidelines
Beginning Windsurfers | Launch Sites | What to Wear | Lifejacket Laws | SafetyTips
Advanced Windsurfers
If you are an advanced windsurfer, you will love the swell for riding and numerous ramps for starboard jumps. Although the jumping direction is primarily starboard, several advanced sailors enjoy launching off the backside of the waves into incredible port air. Multiple sites have great stadium seating cleverly crafted out of driftwood or discarded windsurf boards for viewing the sailors having a blast, photographing the show, or for resting on between sessions. Launch site entry points range from easy sandy beaches to difficult levy rock walls. Fortunately, the RVWA/SIKO community has purchased and placed hundreds of sandbags on the more popular launches to make entry much easier on the more difficult launches.
A wide variety of equipment can by used in the Delta. There are sailing sights for everyone from the very young, to the confident beginner, to the most advanced sailors. The vast majority of sailing is done on short boards up through slalom boards. A good quiver of sails includes sail sizes from 4.0 to 6.0 – but the majority of your sailing will be on a 4.5 or 5.0.
Back to Top
Beginning Windsurfers
If you are a beginning windsurfer, Sherman Island, on the less windy days, is a great place to learn and practice the sport. There are several companies that offer windsurfing lessons or you can learn to sail from a friend. On the really light wind days, often the "Play Pen" cove is full of adults and children learning the sport. If the tide is out, the Play Pen has a shallow, sandy bottom that is idea for attempting to waterstart, learning to uphaul, and practicing various other beginning skills. Be careful of the small rock levy just before the main river and do not enter the main river until you have ample skills to handle the extra current and know how jibe, uphaul, or waterstart to safely maneuver around and be able to return. If the tide is ebbing, the current is too strong to swim against and it will drag windsurfers downriver if they do not have enough wind or know how to sail their way back to their launch site. If the tide is flooding, the current will drag the unskilled sailor upriver. If you find yourself caught in the current, never leave your board. You can not swim against the current and a swimmer is harder to see from boats. Use your board for a floatation device to sit or rest on. Wave your arms in wide sweeps above your head to boats, other sailors, or kiters to signal for help. And remember that eventually the tide always turns and will drag you the other direction.

Windsurf Launch Sites at Sherman Island
There are numerous launch sites for windsurfers at Sherman Island. Because windsurfers do not have long strings and kites that can entangle in the many powerlines around the area, there are many more sites for them than for kiters, so if you do launch at a kite specific launch, be respectful of their access rights and generally give them the right of way on and off the water. Especially be aware of their special launching and landing needs and allow them ample space, so they can handle their kites safely. See the Sites page for a more detailed description of all the great sites and locations. Back to Top
Sherman Island County Park Guidelines
Sherman Island County Park established kiteboarding and windsurfing guidelines for safety reasons. Please read and be respectful of them, so we all can continue to maintain our privileged use of the County Park beaches.
- Reserve the inner 200 foot area of all beaches for launching, landing, and
for swimmers.
- Body Drag (upwind) or windsurf cautiously out away from shore especially on
flood tides.
- All Kiteboarding and Windsurfing tricks and jumps should be completed outside of the 200 foot safety limit, usually set by marker buoys. If the marker buoys are not in place, the guideline should still be respected.
- Always look before you jump. Please be courteous to all other park guests and users.
- All Kiteboarding activities are not allowed in the large sandy cove swimming area known as "The Playpen" near the front entrance of the park.
- Please learn and follow the "right of way rules" when on the water. You can brush up on those rules at Wikipedia's International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, Section II (for vessels in sight of one another).
Click here for Wikipedia's definition of a vessel.
- By law, all vessels are required to avoid collisions, including vessels
with the rightof way. Back to Top
Cooperation on the Water
It's important that Delta windsurfers and kiters recognize the different ways their crafts move over the water. The different styles of riding make it necessary to constantly be aware of others and where their particular sailing/kiting reach will take them. When the wind really picks up, it get's more crowded on the water, and everyone is excited to jump and ride waves. That's when it's even more crucial for everyone to respect one another because the force generated by high winds can have a devastating effect if we run into one-another or an obstacle. Remember, everyone's out there to have a great time on the water while staying safe, so we can all enjoy the whole summer. Back to Top
What to wear
Some wear only shorts or swimsuit and a harness. Most people bring a shortie wetsuit for the warmer afternoons and a full length suit for the Dawn Patrol or the colder days when the fog from the bay chills the air. Always be aware of hypothermia risks and dress appropriately for the conditions. Whether windsurfing/kiting barefoot or wearing wetsuit booties, always be careful of glass or other sharp objects that may be on the river bottom when stepping off your board. Back to Top
Lifejacket Laws
Wearing a lifejacket while windsurfing or kiting is a personal choice. For details regarding California Lifejacket Laws for children and adults on other watercraft, view
California Marine Laws. Back to Top
Safety Tips
- Ask experienced Delta sailors/kiters for the local knowledge regarding launching, landing, or kite handling. Each beach has its own system and flow.
- Keep water access points and the paths leading to them as clear as possible by stacking your gear out of the way. It's safer for others and for your gear.
- Don't sail/kite close to swimmers to spray them. They're entitled to share the beach. Be especially careful around children sharing the beaches. We are all at risk of losing our access if other water users complain about our conduct.
- Don't kite inside the shallow water at the entrance of the County Park in "The Playpen". High performance windsurfing should also not be done in this area if it's crowded. "The Playpen" is strictly reserved for swimmers, children, lessons, and beginning windsurfers.
- Always do a full head twist look before you jibe or change direction. Kiters and Windsurfers already on a path have right of way to those changing direction. If there is a kiter or windsurfer in the path of your jibe or direction change, change your course or drop in the water and allow the kiter or windsurfer to continue their path. If jibing or changing direction near shore, be aware that you still may not have right of way and refer to information above.
- Be aware and courteous of kiters or windsurfers wanting to jibe or change direction when close to shore.
- Always jump and do tricks a safe distance from shore and congested areas. People will still see your moves and will appreciate you more for respecting kite launch and landing sites, swimmers, fishermen, and windsurfers.
- Grab your camera shots away from congested areas as much as possible.
- Kiters – Respect popular windsurfing zones especially during higher wind times. Kiters, especially when jumping, need a lot more room than windsurfers. Spread out and avoid the crowded windsurfing areas.
- Take a few minutes to learn how to launch and land a kite so you'll know what to do if asked to help.
- Be alert for kite landing signals and help catch kites if you know how.
- Keep an eye out for fellow kiters/sailors in trouble and be willing to assist them.
- Act safely around others. When upwind of others, don't jump so closely that your flight could carry you into them. Hold onto your gear rather than jumping and letting go.
- Starboard tack has right of way – back to the wind, right hand toward the front of your board. This is to avoid the confusion that could lead to a collision. Do not drastically veer off your course to enforce starboard right of way. It creates confusion and can lead to collisions. Be aware of Starboard wave riders and pinch above their course. Be aware of Starboard jumpers and pinch way below or way high above their course.
- Don't pinch upwind to force others off their line. There's lots of river and yielding right of way doesn't take much effort.
- Kiters should avoid pinching just upwind of windsurfers whenever possible since that places the kite lines just over the windsurf mast and risks a tangle. It's easy to drop below then point after the windsurfer passes.
- Don't short jibe your fellow kiter or windsurfer to try to snake their wave. Karma will get you!
- Be alert for hidden stumps, rocks, logs, old piers, and other water hazards.
- Be careful of broken glass in the shallow water and clean up any pieces you find to keep others from being cut.

Three Weeks in PeruAuthor: Mike6725
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Date of Trip: February 2006
The parade continued until midnight!
On to Cusco
The bus trip from Puno to Cusco is about five hours by regular bus line. We elected to take a tourist bus, the Inka Express, which takes eight hours. The extra three hours includes stops at several small towns enroute for visits to a church, a museum, a couple of sets of ruins, and lunch. It was worth the $30 ticket cost.
We arrived at Cusco and were surprised to be met by someone from our hotel, the Hotel and Mirador Los Apus. When we arrived we learned that our reservation through hostel world was messed up so we had to negotiate a rate for our stay. Since we were there off-peak, we were able to agree to $35 a night. Excellent hotel, good location. We arranged our trip to Machu Picchu through the hotel, at what we learned later was an inflated price. I guess it all evens out.
Our plans were to stay two nights in Cusco, then go to Aguas Calientes (at Machu Picchu) for two nights, then to Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley for a night, then back to Cusco for three more nights. We were able to do some re-packing to get down to a single suitcase and leave the rest of our gear at the hotel.
We decided to make our first day in Cusco a day to loaf. We spent the day taking care of errands-- turned in some laundry, stopped by Gringo Bill's office in Cusco to confirm our reservations at Aguas Calientes, bought our Cusco Pass (a ticket for multiple entries at the museums and ruins), and visited a museum or two. Cusco was (before the arrival of the Spanish) the Inca capital, and it was quite a large city. The first Spaniards to arrive recorded that there were more than 90,000 residences in the city. There is still a lot of Inca stonework, which is very distinctive because the stones are fitted without mortar. We located an ATM and replenished our cash, as we learned there are no ATMs in Aguas Calientes.
We were still in the Plaza de Armas (the city square) when it began to get dark. The street lights came on and all the second floor restaurants were lit up. It really made the square attractive. This is really a nice town. We decided to stay in the plaza for dinner, at one of the upstairs, balcony restaurants. We decided to splurge, with Alpaca steaks and a bottle of wine. It was well worth the $30 for the meal!
Early Thursday morning we caught the Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes. This is about a four-hour train ride over the mountain to the Sacred Valley. It takes four switchbacks just to get out of Cusco. It is a very comfortable trip, with good service (including a snack) and wonderful views of the mountains and countryside.
We arrived at Aguas Calientes at 11, and were met by a representative from our hotel, Gringo Bill's Hostal. Most of the tourists arriving on the train from Cusco immediately hop on a bus for the 20-minute ride to the ruins. Since we had included two nights at Gringo Bill's, we decided to wait until the next day to visit Machu Picchu. We had a leisurely lunch and wandered around town looking at all the souvenirs for sale. Aguas Calientes is at the end of the rail line, and is full of tourists, so prices were fairly high. We didn't buy anything but food.
Two rivers join in the town, and the larger river (the Urubamba) was pretty exciting to watch. There are so many boulders in the river bed that the rapids are tremendous. The town itself is in a little valley with the railroad in the center of the main street. While we were there, one of the presidential candidates visited, which resulted in most of the locals congregating downtown, to be entertained by a speech and music. Later there was an impromptu parade through the streets.
Machu Picchu
Friday morning, anticipating the crowds that would arrive from Cusco at eleven, we picked up a bag lunch from our hotel and caught the first bus to Machu Picchu, 6:30 am. There is a footpath up to the ruins that takes about an hour to get there. Much as we like walking, we decided to skip it. We saw hikers on their way up as the path crossed the road-- uphill all the way.
We met our guide at the entrance and walked into the fog! We had heard that the sun doesn't burn through the fog until 10 or so. It didn't detract from the awe of this site in the least.
As we walked around the city the fog appeared and disappeared, so we couldn't see the entire site, only small sections at a time.
After a couple of hours our tour guide departed to pick up another group. We decided to take a walk on the Inca Trail to see the Inca Bridge. We couldn't get close to the bridge as it is closed to the public. We were close enough to get a good view of it. The bridge was made for a section of trail along a vertical cliff.
As we wandered around the ruins our appreciation of the work that went into these structures grew and grew. There were three types of construction. The closely fitted boulders were used for temples and the royal quarters. Lesser structures, storage buildings and middle class residences were made with stone, but not cut and precisely fitted as in the temples. Lastly were the adobe buildings, presumably for the workers' homes. These buildings still exist because the Spanish didn't know the city existed. It was abandoned before they found it.
Gradually the fog lifted and we were able to see the entire city. We were finally able to take the classic photograph-- the picture that is on all the postcards. We felt we were really there.
The next morning we caught the train back towards Cusco, but got off an hour later at Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley.

With $4 billion cash in hand, why did American Airlines' parent company declare bankruptcy in November?
Taking a page from its competitors, American decided the billions in concessions and two-tiering its unions had given since 2003—plus the millions extracted from governments in tax breaks and subsidies—wasn't enough.
Executives chose to dump worker pensions and retiree health care so they could purchase new planes and lift their share price.
"Taking a long-term view, the American bankruptcy is a very positive thing," a Boeing executive told Reuters. The aircraft maker expects billions of dollars in plane orders from American once its court-ordered restructuring is complete.
"It's like they decided they don't want to pay the mortgage so they can go out and buy a couple of hot new cars," said Bob Owens, an American mechanic and president of Transport Workers Local 562 in New York.
American also wants to lay off 13,000 workers—16 percent of the workforce. It will try to end pensions and retiree health care for 130,000 current and former workers, offloading $9 billion in unfunded pension obligations to a federal insurance agency.
After clawing out $1.8 billion in concessions in 2003, American says labor costs must drop by another 20 percent.
The airline industry has seen more than 150 bankruptcies since the industry was deregulated in 1978, with at least 22 since September 11, 2001.
Hostess, the maker of Wonder Bread and Twinkies, declared bankruptcy in January as well.

using Headlight with broken tab is illegal? *insurance*
I had some issue with insurance company before.
related link
to make a long story short ,
somebody was backing up ,and bumped to my passenger side front end.
my car was parked ,and I was watching from outside.
bumper , hood , and headlight got damage.
bumper and hood is fixed but headlight still has scratches.
They tried to buff it out , but it didn't work. Insurance company is saying it had one broken tab inside before the accident they will not pay for new one. Yes there was broken tab , and I admit that.
They are saying the headlight with broken tab is considered as JUNK and I cannot pass the inspection. so they will not pay for replacement. so I asked to get a used parts at least , but denied.
any suggestion or advice? I am dealing with the hardest insurance company evern seen , since I am not their customer(the other driver is the insurance holder) I have not too many option to deal with them. please give me some advice or opinion. Thank you in advance.
Where is the tab broken? Did it have anything to do with the headlight aim or overall stability of the light as you drove? If not, then insurance is just looking for an out to not pay for it.
If you can make an argument that the broken tab does not violate any structural integrity of the headlight, then there's no reason why they shouldn't replace it. Plus, go ask a shop if that would cause you to fail inspection.
Most insurance adjusters are ****ing stupid when it comes to cars. Don't get me started on one my friend was telling me about that had no clue what a "decal" was, and kept saying it was "necessary to replace for the car to be in running condition."
Thank Zell. the problem is I had it fixed with glue before ,and it was totally working condition without any problem. there are 2 tabs at the top ,and the outer one was broken ,but glued. and these 04+ coupe cannot replace the lense only.
Are you talking about the rubber rain channel/gasket above the headlight? Mine has broken tabs on the right side, too haha.
Or, is it on the lens itself somewhere? If it's that, then a tab being broken causes no problems with the headlight. Explain to them that the headlight lens is glued, and requires temperatures up to 350 degrees to soften the glue and separate. It is water-tight and the tab has very little contribution, if at all, to the integrity of the lens. Shoot, even spray a hose on the headlight and show them it's water-tight, therefore a broken tab doesn't mater.
Thank you again Zell. They don't really care it really matters. Just the headlight with glued tab isn't profer repair. If I have broken tab on the headlight they consider it as a broken part. so basically what they are saying is the accident made slight difference on the broken headlight. they don't need to pay for the new one. so I asked to make it as the same condition as before ,and they said it is better condition than before because they wet-sanded the headlight. Even though they couldn't remove the scratches they consider that headlight is better than I got the scratch which is nonsense.
Ugh. That's ridiculous.
Have your insurance company fight theirs. That's how it works. That's what you pay for
And you should NEVER admit anything unless its blatantly your fault.
Broken tab? Could've happened in the accident. They can't say for sure.
Thank you Sir. I've tried with my insurance company but they cannot do anything at this moement since it has been repaired already. and they found the tab was glued so there was no way I can say it is damaged because of this accident. also I thought just telling the truth will not cause any problem.
Learn the lesson.
Thank you Stinger9 . obiously I've got a lesson at least from this happening.
Perhaps you can tell this other blokes insurance company that the damage caused by their clients driving as compromised the optical performance of the headlight. As such their repair of buffing down the lens with the scratch still visible has not restored the headlight to its pre-accident condition & thus optical performance. A cracked tab, that has been glued back together is still a tab securing in place what it is supposed to, causing no negative effect on optical performance or vehicle legality, but their poor repair of the headlight may cause the car to fail an inspection. No insurance company can be allowed to hand back a repaired damaged vehicle in a non-road legal condition. The sole purpose of a headlight is for just that purpose, projecting light onto the road surface. If they come back with, the glued tab is not how it left the factory, well neither is a headlight with a single stone chip technically or a peeling decal. Where do they draw the line on what is factory specification / condition? If they say, well stone chips are fair ware and tare, then the tab crack was due to UV degradation of the plastic causing it to be come brittle (ware and tare). As an alternative, if your insurance policy has legal aid cover, you should inquire about using that cover to claim back un-insured losses from his insurance company that would cover the cost of you purchasing a new headlight. That way your insurance company is not getting into a battle about what should be replaced on the car as you have previously stated that they do not want to know.
Best of luck.
Well here's what the law is in MA
Was your car ever inspected with the broken tab? Did it pass? If so (and you have any way of proving that), I would use that to argue your position as well.
Thank you NE1L , and TerraPhantm. Now I've got something to tell them.
I love fanatics forum!!
Two situations here. First, insurance is supposed to keep you whole. That is, essentially, return to pre-loss condition. Essentially, this means that they do not repair existing damage. If the tab was broken prior to the accident, then fixing the tab isn't covered. Same thing with a worn out (<2/32") tire. If it is destroyed in an accident, you don't get a new tire: that one was already at the end of its useful life. A fender that had been keyed prior to being dented in an accident still gets fixed. And at full cost because the prior damage doesn't affect the cost of the repair.
Many of us have assemblies with broken tabs. They light up the night. They aim just fine. They don't move around. Not "junk".
While a non-functioning bulb, gross misalignment, or inability to align might mean a failed a safety inspection, it is extremely unlikely that a broken mounting tab would. Just check the regs on your state's DoT site. If, as TerraPhantm, suggests, you have evidence of its having passed inspection previously, you have an even stronger case that it isn't "junk".
The damage that needs to be repaired is the deeply scratched lens. Although a cracked lens might fail an inspection, a scratched lens is not likely to do so. But that isn't the point. The pre-loss condition on the lens did not have scratches. If they are deep enough that they don't buff out, they are deep enough to negatively affect the performance and longevity of the unit.
The fact that they tried to fix the headlamp is a de facto admission that they are responsible for fixing that damage. If it were truly "junk" they would not have expended anything at all to try to fix it.
Talk with your insurance agent (or adjuster) to get advice. You need to escalate. It is best to do this properly, using language that they understand.
Thank you sunsetcoast. I am going to use all these words for next call. I will keep you guys updated!!
Seven more words for you: Please Let Me Speak To Your Supervisor
Your tone is important. Don't get angry or frustrated. Stay professional, and be *nice* to the adjuster.
He or she is just doing a job, so by being polite you can get them on your side.
(I say this having won a $5000 battle with my insurance company by being polite, and lost a $50 one by getting frustrated and annoyed.)
If that doesn't work (and so far it hasn't) politely ask to speak to their supervisor and be nice to the supervisor, while making a clear argument.
The headlight was fully functioning before the accident, despite the repair. But isn't fully functional now and it should be replaced.
Here's another piece of advice - go to a garage sale and buy a couple of $5 used car seats and drive around with them in the back seat. Buy the highest end ones you can find for the lowest price.
Most states have laws that require the insurance company to purchase new car seats if yours have been in an accident.
Last time a girl hit me, I had three car seats and got like $600 added to the check for them.
I had a relative who used to say, "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar". I never understood why someone would want to catch flies... :hmm:
Be pleasant and professional. Professional means having your ducks in a row, staying calm, and using the specific relevant terms of their business. (If you don't post in the "ask an adjuster" thread, talk with your agent to make sure you clearly understand the situation from the business angle and get suggestions about how to proceed. The agent may even know how the other company operates and provide valuable insight. Be solid on this before talking with the other company's adjuster again.) Unless you are dealing with dirt-bags (while possible, most people are not), it can go a long way.
One approach is asking the supervisor for help in this matter because you've been unable to get the adjuster to understand your concerns. This way, you don't put the adjuster in a bad light and you've stroked the supervisor before stating your case. If there is a bit of resistance, you might even be able to help the supervisor understand that this should be an easy fix. Just note that you aren't asking for a new unit: you have already agreed to a used part. The labor is minimal. And know your bottom line. You might even be happy, for example, to split the difference: they buy the headlight and you'll install.
Don't get caught up in what seems fair to you. Their only obligation is what they are legally required to do...and they have a fiduciary responsibility to the company.
Could be you want to eliminate them from landing on your food, or flying around your face. And in some places in the country there are black flies that have painful bites. I've worn mosquito net hats just to keep them away when hiking on the trail. The fles were very aggressive.
Thank you all. I've got a check from the insurance company. they finally gave me a 85% of the new headlight and labor.
I talked to the supervisor's supervisor. and he came to see my car once ,and made the decision. when I was talking to the 2nd teer supervisor I had to explain manythings above , but the 3rd one was straight.
Thank you again guys!!!

CD Review: The Baseball Project — Volume Two: High and Inside; Playing Star Bar, March 11
The Baseball Project
Volume Two: High and Inside
Yep Roc Records
By Scott Roberts
Every spring, many of us look forward to the possibility of new love in bloom, enjoy basking in the slowly warming temperatures, or dread the re-emergence of all those pesky seasonal allergies. Some of us also look forward to the annual return of baseball season, with its rich traditions and near-mythological tales rich with colorful characters, heroes, and villains. And though less than half as old as the game, rock 'n' roll can be described in the same way, and this spring, these two traditions, tainted and tarnished as each may be, blend beautifully on Volume Two: High and Inside, the new CD from The Baseball Project, one of several musical ventures by the always-busy Steve Wynn, Scott McCaughey, Peter Buck and Linda Pitmon.
Volume Two… continues where 2008's Volume 1: Frozen Ropes & Dying Quails left off, but this time the approach is much more musically varied. Mid-tempo rockers like opener "1976" (an ode to Detroit's oddball pitching phenom from that year, the late Mark Fidrych) and "The Straw That Stirs The Drink" (musically capturing the swagger of its subject, Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson; its title taken from a typically arrogant remark Jackson once made in an interview), are nicely augmented by forays into other genres. The slow, country shuffle of "Pete Rose Way," to the Beach Boys-on-speed sound of the goofily catchy "Ichiro Goes To The Moon" — a highlight of the band's 2009 tour, and one of seven songs sung by guitarist McCaughey — give this record a bit more flavor than the previous one. McCaughey also shines on "Fair Weather Fans," where his vocal on the first verse eerily channels Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott (drummer Pitmon and guitarist Wynn also take a verse, and bassist Buck even makes a rare vocal appearance, reciting the words "It'd be the Washington Senators"), and the haunting closer "Here Lies Carl Mays," the instrumentally stark closing track, a regretful lament told from the point of view of the ghost of the title character who accidentally killed a batter with one of his pitches.
The CD is also distinguished by several guest appearances (Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan), most notably by The Hold Steady's Chris Finn who sings lead and wrote the lyrics for "Please Don't Call Them Twinkies," the biographically accurate (and pleasantly rocking) history of the Minnesota Twins.
You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy The Baseball Project's Volume Two: High and Inside, but a love of the game and an appreciation for its arcane history would certainly add to your enjoyment of this winning set of songs.
The Baseball Project begins its Spring Training Tour in Atlanta at Star Bar on March 11, and in Athens at The 40 Watt on March 12. Tickets for the Atlanta show are available below.

Swedish landscapes are often dotted with homes and barns painted in a specific shade of red. It's called Faluröd. We chose to reference this by using a similar shade as the base for our table setting. Next, we created a graphic effect (often found in Scandinavian design) by laying two table cloths diagonally across the table. Good to know: you can definitely use whatever textiles you have on hand at home. Even curtains will work just fine.
"Bringing in greenery is a super easy and affordable way to bring life to your dining table. Moss references our beautiful Swedish forests, but you can really use whatever you like."
Emma Parkinson
Nature has a huge impact on Swedish style and design, and we love to bring it indoors whenever possible. Create a forest-themed tablescape by using greenery like moss and hyacinth bulbs (or use what you happen to have on hand, such as wood or cork). To make things a bit more interesting, work with different heights and vessels, like vases, glasses and domes. And, of course, some fairy lights for a bit of whimsy.
Nothing says 'Swedish Christmas' like pepparkakor, our traditional gingerbread cookies. A simple cookie in the shape of our classic little red houses, complete with guests names on handwritten tags and a ribbon, makes a charming place marker that they can eat or take home and hang from the Christmas tree. Top your napkins with a simple sprig of eucalyptus, to bring in even more nature (too much is never enough).
Cut down on the back-and-forth to the kitchen by creating a bar on wheels with a multifunctional trolley. Keep your drinks on ice in a plastic bin and extra glasses, mixers and napkins within reach. We chose this colour to coordinate with the rest of the table setting.
Holiday feasts can be epically long, so get comfortable. Cushions make all the difference, so have lots on hand for your stools and chairs. And because we never wear shoes inside the home here in Sweden, a high-pile rug keeps chilly feet warm. Extra bonus: it serves as a simple way to frame the entire dining space.
We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.

Fine Man of Destiny By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON Friday, the man of destiny came to Wash ington. Gov. John Fine of Perm, sylvania is a smallish, plumpish Man, neatly but far from nattily dressed, his balding head a gleam- ing expanse of pink, his face com- fortably be-jowelled. At first glance, be might pass for a not very successful small businessman from Nanticoke, the grimy Penn- sylvania coal town where he was bora in poverty. There is a certain shrewdness in the small sleepy grey eyes peering out from behind the gold- rimmed spectacles. And there is shrewdness also in the remarks which the governor utters in his peculiar confidential whisper. But what is really interesting about Gov. Fine is that he controls the largest bloc of uncommitted Re- publican delegates (variously esti- mated from thirty to fifty, the gov ernor's own figure) the United States. Being Wooed As the governor himself remark ed last Friday, with visible rel ish, "I'm being kinda The results of all this wooing migh! quite possibly determine the out come of the Republican convention in July. This is what makes Gov Fine a man of destiny. A visit by Gen. Douglas MacAr- fhur to the Pennsyvlania State Fair at Allentown some time ago is in turn very likely to affect Gov. Fine's course, at least initially. Fine is a professional politician from one of Pennsylvania's tough- est counties, and he is unaccustom- ed to consorting with the great. He is also a rather lonely man, and when MacArtbur discussed lof- ty international issues with Fine, and was nice to his children, something of a spell was cast on the Pennsylvania governor. As of the moment, accordingly, Fine is rather obviously strongly inclined to throw his delegate herd to MacArthur on the first ballot at Chicago, probably by prior ar- rangement with the Grundy-Owlett Old Guard.

In fact, the Justice Department argued that the issue before the court was whether, "in dealing with an immediate crisis gravely threatening the continuance of the production of perhaps the most essential commodity of our presenl civilization, the President coulc take temporary action, of a type not prohibited by either the Con- stitution or the statutes, to avert the imminent threat Abstract Extremes "We believe that the solution does not require the pressing of juristic principles to 'abstract extremes.'

Or, the whole case could be sent back to the lower court for further arguments Reds fired "their most vicious propaganda attack of the 10-month- old armistice negotiations" in a 34- minute "tirade, obviously prepared in advance" and "filled with in- vective, distortions and palpable lies." Another plenary session was scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday (9 p.m. EST, But Vice Adm. C.Turner Joy, senior U.N. delegate, told the Reds the U.N. Command "formally disassociates itself from the propaganda purposes for which j you are utilizing these meetings." i North Korean Gen. Nam H charged in today's session that the Allies mistreated Red prisoners of war. Never before had newsmen cov- ering the negotiations in Panmun- jom seen the usually mild man- nered Adm. Joy so angry. After the 52-minute session, he said: I Vicious Blast "We were subjected today to one 1 of the most vicious propaganda blasts we have ever had. The Com- munists told us in effect that un- less we intend to disrupt the meet- ings they would insist on meeting every day and use these meetings overtly for propaganda although they did not use those words." Nam II again flatly rejected Joy's proposal for an indefinite re- cess until the Communists have something concrete to offer. There was no indication when the high court would hand down its decision. It could be within days or not for months. The court set aside six hours for the two sides to present their view- points, starting this afternoon.

Already the strike has had world wide effects. The United States and Britain asked all nations to conserve dwin- dling supplies of aviation gasoline. They warned global restrictions may follow.

May Not Honor Forced Commitments TOKYO Mark Clark, Su. preme United Nations Commander, said tonight the U. S. Eighth Army agreed to stop screening Red pris- oners of war on Koje Island in return for the release of Brig. Gen. Francis T. Dodd. Clark, who succeeded Gen. Mat- thew B. Ridgway today as U. N. commander, listed the ransom de- mands by North Korean oa Koje told which de- mands were acceded to in order to ecure Dodd's release. Clark's statement said Brig. Gen. 7harles Colson, new commander of the POW camp, agreed to: 1. Do all within his power to eliminate future violence and bloodshed on Koje. (90 POWs and one American guard were killed in two Koje POW riots in February and Forcible Screening 2. Stop "forcible screening or any rearming of prisoners of war in this camp" and not make any attempt "at nominal screening." (Allied officers have been screen- ing prisoners of war and civilian internees to determine whether they would resist being returned to North Korea or China- after an armistice. What was meant by "rearming" was not Allow the organization of a POW representative group or com- mission consisting of North Korean and Chinese prisoners. Clark said: "The reply by General Colson to the Communist prisoners was made under duress at a time when the life of General Dodd was at stake. The Communist demands were unadulterated blackmail and any commitments made fay General Colson as a result of such demands hould be interpreted accordingly." Clark did not say whether ommitments would be honored. The agreements to stop screen- ing prisoners and allow them to rganize seemed the only essions the army made to secure Dodd's release. Obviously the TJ.N. Iready was doing everything it ould to avoid violence on the is- and.

Bounce U
Voted a favorite place for party services by Carolina Parent readers from 2010-2016, Bounce U welcomes kids to descend upon an inflatable, climate-controlled playground where they can bounce and ricochet in safety. Along with birthday parties and group outings, Bounce U hosts open-bounce sessions that let sock wearers of all ages imagine they're synchronized leapers in a futuristic moon performance as they carom around the inflatable stadium, expending energy with every leap. Adults are welcome to act like 8-year-olds and join the vivacious youngsters in the playground.
The inflatable arena also opens its buoyant doors to technology-themed bounce camps and programs, where boys and girls spend half their time with brain-bolstering projects such as creating their own stop-motion animation movies or reprogramming the remote to skip all news channels. After stretching the limits of their imaginations, kids then spend the other half of the day stretching the limits of their limbs on the inflatable playground.

A robotic puppy which responds to the human voice is expected to be among the most popular children's toys this Christmas.
Hamleys experts today predicted that the £75 Teksta Puppy, which obeys commands to sit and backflip, would be among the 10 most wanted toys.
Also in the anticipated top 10 are the £14 Robo Fish, the new Furby Boom at £75 and the Leappad Ultra, a £125 children's tablet.
The VIP Pets, for £14, are animal figurines with stylable hair, Chasin Cheeky is a ring-tossing game featuring a monkey for £26 and Doc McStuffins Doctor's Bag is a "medicine kit" for stuffed animals and toys costing £26.
Also expected to be popular is Zelf, a new version of trolls out next month. There are 12 Zelfs, each with their own "charm".Reuse content

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by judiz, Aug 19, 2010.
I did not know that you could get salmonella from eggs! The only way to make sure is to well cook all eggs. No more runny yokes. I think the recall is now up to 32 million eggs.
I know some people like their egg yolks runny, but I never have. I rarely eat eggs but when I do they are hardboiled or scrambled or in omlets (throughly cooked)
CDC information
Dipping hash browns or buttered toast into a runny fried egg is one of life's (guilty) pleasures.
Mmmm, runny eggs.
I'm pretty glad I get my eggs from a small local supplier now.
I get mine from a neighbor. Fresh eggs rock!
I thought that's why you aren't supposed to eat raw cookie dough (even though I've been doing it since I was a kid ).
Anyway it said one lady got it from eggs in a cobb salad.. I'm assuming that the eggs in that were fully cooked? Having never eaten a cobb salad I don't know lol.
A lot of chefs are trained to hard boil eggs a little softer than would be considered fully cooked to reduce the sulfur component.
You can buy pasteurized in the shell eggs, which is what I do when I'm making hollandaise or some of the the other dishes that use raw egg without bringing it to a high enough temperature. (I'm a little aghast at how my dad used to throw half a dozen egg yolks into the blender to make the Chrismas egg nog.)
Meanwhile, I buy the cage free organic eggs, and so far none of them has shown up on the recall list.
Evert Cobb salad I've had, the eggs (hard boiled) have been fully cooked. But I heard that many of the recently reported salmonella cases are not necessarily from the contaminated eggs, but are from the "usual" salmonella cases that occur from other foods (every year there are about 40,000 cases reported in the US).
I used to eat raw cookie dough when I was younger, too. I haven't baked cookies in years, so now I'm not tempted, otherwise I probably still would.
Where can you get them? I'd make my own mayonnaise but the raw egg thing makes me .

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo / Turbo S
Two turning, four burning.
The Bilster Berg Drive Resort is a private club track in central Germany that squiggles over hill and dale at the top of a small mountain where there once was a British Army ammo dump. It's not a track-map sticker you really want for your car, as the circuit is shaped almost exactly like the large intestine. And people in our group kept calling it "Blister Berg," the mountain of blisters. The Germans just stared as they ladled out the lunch of roasted pig knuckles.
The famous Porsche wheelman Walter Röhrl consulted on the design, which is a tossed salad of hidden apexes just past blind crests leading to off-camber death-drops. It's a great, if scary, place to drive the new Porsche 911 Turbo because it proves how shockingly well this 3550-pound touring coupe can do something it is not expected to do much of: track work.
Porsche's intention is to give you it all. Blistering speed, of course, but, just as important, daily usability, the comfort of a sheik's casbah, and the best fuel efficiency possible in a 911 offering up to 560 horsepower. In cracking its lid and packing in even more horses, the car's keister swells by yet another 1.1 inches from its predecessor. The 911 Turbo has always had hips you want to grab with both hands and squeeze, but now, from the back, the new Turbo looks like a Peter Paul Rubens scene in CinemaScope.
Porsche is compelled to turn up the wick to fend off interlopers in the $150,000-to-$200,000 sandbox where the Turbo now plays. There are AMGs, Aston Martins, and Audi R8s rattling around in this space, plus the forthcoming McLaren P13. Hence, both the base Turbo and the Turbo S are for the first time being launched simultaneously, for $149,250 and $182,050, respectively. The price difference basically pays for all the Turbo's performance options including carbon-ceramic brakes, plus 40 horsepower, center-lock forged wheels, slightly different air intakes up front, and the all-important "S" badge.
Strapped with twin BorgWarner compressors using variable-vane geometry, originally a technology for spinning up turbos faster in diesels, the 3.8-liter flat-six encases new shorter-skirt pistons and forged connecting rods among the modifications needed to handle both 14.5 psi of whistling boost and a 9.8:1 compression ratio. If 520 horsepower isn't enough, the Turbo S makes 560 on 17.4 psi, with a torque peak of 516 pound-feet arriving at just 2100 rpm. Both cars can squirt another 2.2 psi into their pots on temporary overboost.
With the one transmission available in all Turbos—the seven-speed dual-clutch PDK—locked into its optional launch control, the ETA for 60 mph should be 2.7 seconds in the S. Porsche encouraged us to launch the car as many times as we liked, and the perfectly repeatable violence of it is terrifying. If you don't have your head against the backrest before detonation, you'll feel it in the morning. More technology: A revised four-wheel-drive system switches from the base Carrera 4's ball-ramp-activated front-axle coupling to a new liquid-cooled Haldex hydraulic device (both are electronically controlled). Engineers say the extra precision offered by hydraulic control allows for better tuning of the torque-vectoring feature. An electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential combined with single-rear-wheel brake applications helps steer the car into corners. Rear-wheel steering, as in the new GT3, also sharpens the car's reflexes, while its aerodynamic downforce automatically elevates at speed via a height- and angle-adjustable rear wing and a flexible three-section chin spoiler that drops down in two phases via air bladders. At low speed, the black lip stays retracted out of the scrape zone.
2001 911 Turbo (996)
On top of a water-cooled engine, Porsche adds to the Turbo its VarioCam Plus system, which is variable intake valve timing, lift, and duration. A five-speed Tiptronic is the Turbo's first automatic, and the Turbo Cabriolet becomes a full-fledged model. (Previous droptops came out of Porsche Exclusive.) Whether two or three pedals, fixed or folding roof, the Turbo has lost some soul. We call it "an appliance for speed." Porsche makes the naturally aspirated GT3 its racing focus, and the 456-hp GT2 adopts a fully carpeted interior.
Price: $116,818 Horsepower: 415
Zero to 60 mph: 3.9 sec [C/D, September 2000]
2007 911 Turbo/Turbo S (997)
Variable-geometry turbos further combat lag while output climbs to 480 horsepower. Porsche also introduces Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) adaptive dampers and the Sport Chrono package, which adds an overboost function good for 502 pound-feet of torque. A new 500-hp engine and the revolutionary seven-speed PDK automatic transmission make a 2010 refresh just as significant as the 2007 model. Porsche also cranks up the crazy on the 530-hp Turbo S and the GT2 RS. The latter makes 620 horsepower, weighs 3085 pounds, and costs $245,950.Price: $123,695 Horsepower: 480
Zero to 60 mph: 3.4 sec [C/D, September 2006]
Porsche shakes up this bag of tricks and dumps out not a hyper sports car or a homologated Le Mans entry, as the Turbo once was, but a cucumber-cool super GT for racing Gulfstream jets across continents. It has the requisite tools for managing all that horsepower on track or autobahn in a way that is safe and highly approachable, yet at the cost of becoming slightly anodyne and filtered, from the target-seeking steering that also swallows up bumps to the muted engine song to the brakes. While capable of oblonging your eyeballs, the brakes sometimes exhibited computer tampering in the form of strangely variable pedal resistance.
Still, if our soft hands weren't exactly blistered, they were definitely shaking after five laps. Such is the new Turbo's fearsome acceleration and lateral grip that even our group of jaded media veterans had to shake their heads at the marvel that modern technology has wrought.


text: I am looking to purchase a new electric blanket and wondered what people thought about different brands. I found the Electric Blanket Institute website, which provides consumer information on Electric Blanket companies. They don't have too much to say about Biddeford - I found one at Target but there were so-so customer reviews. They have information on Sunbeam - which I can get at Bed, Bath and Beyond and on Amazon, but the customer reviews on Amazon range from Never ever buy this to ok, with most being so-so. They have information SoftHeat, which they highly recommend. Amazon customers rate this blanket an average of 5 stars Any recommendations? I know it seems a bit OTT to ask about blankets, just trying to get the best value for my money. And since we just purchased a new mattress, new bedding, new pillows trying to be as cost conscious but still getting one that will last.

When that day comes, make sure you let us know!! I bet men will be tossing you millions of shiny fake bead strings!!Originally Posted by Rgirl
Hey, we're all partners learning about this new system. I know it's not perfect, and like any other sport involving referees, I'm sure every call is not a good call. I just like having some way to try to make sense (or not) of the outcome. The old system always left me totally ????? about why a 5.8 for one skater, and a 5.7 for another.
Long after this competition is past, if you asked me to pick one program to watch again it would more likely be Sasha's or Shiz's if I could only pick one, but probably not be Mao's. But I can see how she won the day from a competitive standpoint.

This may surprise you, but the Red Sox actually played a game on Tuesday night, as they hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first of a three-game series at Fenway Park. Before you get bored…you may actually want to continue reading, as the result on Yawkey Way was not nearly as disappointing as the one in Los Angeles, where the Celtics fell to the Lakers 89-67 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Clay Buchholz struck out eight over 5.2 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk to earn his ninth win of the season. Buchholz is now tied with New York's Phil Hughes for second in the American League with nine wins. Tampa's David Price is first on the list with a 10-2 record.
David Ortiz led the offensive charge for the good guys, finishing 2-4 with a double and his 13th home run, a two-run shot in the first that gave the Sox the lead for good. Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis both pitched in as well, each finishing with two hits and an RBI.
First baseman Adam LaRoche started against his former club (for 6 games last season), and finished 1-4 with an RBI single.
After a superb May, in which he hit .363 with 10 home runs, Ortiz has fallen on hard times so far in June. Entering Tuesday night's game, Ortiz was hitting just .191 for the month with one home run. Tuesday's 2-4 effort with a HR and a double will go some of the way in helping out those June numbers.
New kid Daniel Nava played in left field and hit leadoff for the first time in his major league career. He responded by going 0-3 with three strikeouts. On the bright side, he drew his first career walk and scored.
W: Clay Buchholz (9-4)
L: Ian Kennedy (3-4)
SV: Jonathan Papelbon (14)

SOC389-002: Sociology of Climate Change
The course will begin by providing an overview of the nature, causes, and consequences of climate change; as well as possible ways to mitigate and adapt to such change. With this as background, we will then draw on your previous coursework in sociology to examine:
a) efforts to define climate change as a social problem;
b) the social consequences of climate change;
c) the social causes of climate; and
d) the social factors affecting the response to climate change.
Most attention will focus on social consequences, such as the possible effects of climate change on crime, social conflict, and gender relations.

Birthday Invitations - Celebs RSVP For A Fee
More and more D-list actors and out-of-work celebrities are accepting holiday and birthday party invitations, for a reduced fee that is. It's not enough to get a festive party invitation, a full buffet and an open bar anymore. Well-to-do private and corporate party hosts are turning to celebrities to make their events truly impressive, spectacular and unforgettable. The current trend appears to be the wealthier the host, the larger the appetite for celeb "meet and greet" party appearances.
A-list celebrities can cost anywhere from $500 to $1M. Jessica Simpson can request as much as $1 million where Anson Williams, "Potsie" from Happy Days, is a mere $3,000 to $6,000 depending on the shindig and travel requirements. If Linda Blair from "The Exorcist" accepts your holiday party or birthday invitation expect to pay around $5,000, although her fee goes up the closer your event is to Halloween. Justin Timberlake allegedly accepted a birthday party invitation overseas for $1.5 million.
Some parties may require a celebrity to perform in character, however, in many cases celebs may accept a holiday or birthday party invitation and not even have to recite their signature lines, sing or tell jokes. The host just expects them to make an appearance and mingle with their guests for a short time. Whether celebrities are embarrassed to accept a complete stranger's birthday invitation or holiday gig is up for debate. With figures skyrocketing into the six figures for the right talent, the bottom line no doubt supersedes any humiliation.

We will bring together complementary leading technologies and products to create an expanded set of capabilities in precision, materials engineering and patterning to solve our customers' high-value problems better, faster and at lower cost.
Since the announcement, we have started integration planning and we are pleased with the constructive engagement. We've also been meeting with our customers to discuss the specific ways the merger will create value for them and their responses have been positive and supportive. We expect to file our S-4 securities registration statement in January, which will provide you with additional information and we remain confident that we will receive approval for the merger in the mid to second half of 2014.
The rest of today's call will focus on Applied Materials' quarterly and year end results as well as our outlook.
In the fourth quarter Applied delivered earnings towards the high-end of our range and we enter our new fiscal year with momentum in bookings and new product penetration. I would like to thank all our employees for their contributions over the past year. This is a team with tremendous passion to create value for customers and investors. I would also like to thank Mike Splinter, whose leadership, guidance and support enabled a seamless CEO transition.
