A Perfectly Epic Cruise: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by cmdchiefthom
Overall Member Rating
A Perfectly Epic Cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
First things first. Our traveling group consisted of myself and my wonderful wife Waz, two of our grandsons, Payton 9 and Owen 11, our youngest son Dean, and his lovely girlfriend Madie, a pair of newly-weds on their honeymoon, and another couple who have been friends of the family for years. Because of the number of us traveling, the outrageous airline fares, the equally outrageous baggage fees, and a strict limit on our time away from our jobs as More teachers, early on we had decided to drive from South Bend Indiana to Miami. We allotted a day and a half to cover roughly 1300 miles, and booked the downtown Hilton for Friday evening. I had points to burn so my suite was free, and Madie works for Hilton so their room was something like $39.00. We took the kids to Bubba Gumps that evening, and then hit the hay to rest after the drive.
Driving to the Port of Miami is a breeze, and I was totally surprised how painless, and uncrowded the parking facility (C) was. It took us 5 minutes to drop the bags off, another 5 minutes to park, and within 15 minutes of arrival we were clearing security and were escorted to the Suite check-in area. We were onboard by 1130, and were escorted to the Epic Lounge on deck 16. Drinks were ordered and served by 1135, and we were greeted by Monica, the Concierge, and then escorted by Ramona, the Maitre D on a tour of the Courtyard facilities, including Posh. Once finished, we met our Steward Celio, and our Butler Fernando, and allowed to put our carry-ons in our Villa, and the kids changed into the swimming trunks, and it was into the pool.
There have been an abundance of reviews on these boards of every category of cabin aboard the Epic, so I won't bore you with another. What I can say is that the suite was beautiful, well appointed, clean and most comfortable. Our bedding was to die for! It was, in my opinion, somewhat smaller than I imagined, and although not cramped with the boys and Waz and I, the CV would not be a reason to book the Epic, in itself. The balcony was probably the smallest balcony I've ever had on any ship I've cruised aboard. The Courtyard, on the other hand, along with the Epic Lounge, the Epic Club, the Epic Grill, the steamroom, Sauna, etc, are the reason the Courtyard Villa was perfect for us.
At this point I should mention that our son Dean, and his main squeeze Madie had a Penthouse suite on deck 11, cabin 11321. This aft facing stern cabin was sweet. Perfect for two young people, especially for Madie, who Dean would propose to later during the cruise. Although the suite had the curtains rather than doors separating the toilet and shower area from the main living area, the kids really loved the room, and especially the balcony, which was quite a bit larger than our CV balcony, and the view was absolutely beautiful. Dean did mention that there was quite a bit of vibration during docking, but for the most part their suite was very comfortable, and quiet.
Our entertainment preferences tend to be decisions on the fly. I did pre-book Blue Man Group for the first sea day, and we were escorted down to some great seats about forty-five minutes early by an assistant Concierge. Owen and Payton had front row center seats, and Waz and I were two rows in back. Before the show started, a member of the cast asked us if we would play a part, and seated us in the back of the theater. In the middle of the show, we were told to get up and return to our original seats. Of course, the camera was on us as we were the "late couple" sneaking in. The boys loved seeing us up on the big screen. The show was fantastic, however the boys were upset they didn't get any paint on themselves.
We enjoyed O'Sheean's, both for the atmosphere as well as the food, and the boys loved the pool table and the dart boards. We spent a couple of great evenings there. For whatever reason, we never made it to the main dining rooms, nor any of the speciality restaurants, despite having Denis, the Hotel Director extend to us a free dinner at any of the speciality venues of our choice. One of the couples we were traveling with ate at Moderno, and we were jealous when they described how good their meals were. We did eat in the Epic Club, and I absolutely must state, the food served to us there, was the BEST I've had on any cruiseline, ever! If fact, the one negative issue I had on this cruise revolved around how good the food was served in the Epic Club, my son's engagement dinner, and a less than personable Concierge.
My son Dean asked Madie to marry him after our first port call at Maya Chan. They rushed up to the Courtyard so we could show off her ring. They asked if I could arrange a dinner for all of us, including a couple in a regular balcony. Having been served by such well known Concierge's such as Carlos and Karan, I immediately went to Monica, our Concierge, and explained to her my request for a special engagement dinner for 8, at a time she could accommodate in the Epic Club that evening. What I perceived to be a reasonable request to the person responsible for meeting my needs, turned into a power trip on Monica's end of things. No, you can't have those people up here unless I clear it with the Hotel Director. With that conversation, my expectations for what was being offered to suite guest were crushed by Monica's negative attitude, and unwillingness to initiate any action on my request. I have read reviews here on Cruise Critic where Monica's attitude has affected passenger's cruise experiences aboard the Epic. I now know why she is not good for the Courtyard and suite passengers aboard the Epic. Thank God for Ramona, she and the Epic Club staff put together the most perfect, and romantic engagement dinner you could imagine, and Monica was nowhere to be found.
We did attend the White Hot Party in Spice, as well as the Karaoke finals our son competed in, coming in second. The nightlife was almost never ending aboard the Epic. The casino didn't take, nor did it giveth away, but it also didn't smell like smoke. The shops were the usual, however I did have an interesting experience. I forgot my shaving cream, and needed to get something to get me by. I looked through the most obvious shops, but couldn't find a can of shaving cream. Finally after twenty minutes of looking, I asked a clerk, and she informed me the shaving cream was in the "LIQUOR SHOPPE"! OMG, have you ever heard anything as crazy as that??? Who would have thunk it, shaving cream as a liquor store item. Of course I went there, and did find similar items, razors, deodorant, condoms, booze, smokes, but guess what, no shaving cream! The clerk said they ran out of shaving cream, but would have some next week?????? The Liquor Shoppe is next door to the Barber Shop, and I figured I'd at least check. The person staffing the shop wasn't a barber, but rather someone from the Spa. I asked the question, she answered yes she had shaving cream, gave me a sample in my hand, told me it was the best, and then charged me $38.00 for the can of Elemis shaving cream, and assured me it was good stuff.
Our two boys, absolutely loved the Epic, the slides, the Courtyard, food, arcade, etc. They only spent one evening in the kids club, but were not impressed with the staff. They have been in kid's clubs on the Sun and Spirit and loved it, however my guess is having only spent one evening in the club aboard the Epic, they just didn't give it enough time.
Sadly, there comes a time when reality sets in and you have to return to the real world. Our final evening was spent saying our goodbyes to those staff members who provided the best service at sea. Too many names to mention, but Ramona, Jasmine, Christine, Fernando, Celio, Ricky, etc., were hunted down and given appropriate tokens of our appreciation. Understandably, Monica was omitted. The disembarkation was absolutely flawless. Report to the Concierge desk at the appointed hour, and Courtyard passengers are taken to the disembarkation deck via a service elevator, and you swipe you card out, and that's it. For us, we found a porter with a large luggage cart, and for $50.00 took all our luggage, 8 people, over to the parking garage, loaded my truck and Deans car, and really it was no more than twenty minutes and I was on the road back to South Bend.
I do truly love NCL and its product. The EPIC is the ultimate incarnation of the Free Style concept. On a ship this large, I find the whole ball of wax comes together in a product other cruiselines want to imitate. NCL really hits the mark on this innovative ship. Are there issues? Sure, but mostly minor. There will be no other ships built to the Epic's plans, so NCL simply refines any issues on this particular ship. I feel if you like NCL's product, then the Epic becomes not only transportation to exotic ports of call, but also a destination in itself.
I will book the Epic again, it just depends on when and where the Epic travels to, but I know I will board her again. Less

text: The new novel by the author of Blue Bossa is a story of two secret loves, of the kind that at the time the book is set—1960s San Francisco—were both afraid to speak their name. Hero Jake Roseman is a civil rights lawyer, high in the councils of the city, who falls hard for Nisa, a lovely young black demonstrator. Since he also has family troubles at home, with two kids trying to recover from their mother's suicide and an elderly, crankily racist father, he does his best to keep Nisa away from them, much to her annoyance. Meanwhile, Simon Sims, a bright young black man drawn to the new Muslim cause despised by his Baptist minister father, nurses a homosexual passion for a white actor, but is also drawn by furtive gropings in the park. The stories of these characters move in parallel, both coming to little climaxes and then fading away. The novel offers a relaxed, friendly read, with a great feel for its time and place and some moving and dramatic moments. But the lead characters, despite nice establishing touches and some well-turned speeches on themes of the era, never seem very convincing, and the lack of narrative drive and tension in the book make reading it ultimately a rather pallid experience. Author tour. (Mar. 3)FYI: Schneider is the founding editor of the Hungry Mind Review, now renamed the Ruminator Review.

Background and area of interest
Growing up I was very much into sports and thought I possibly wanted to be a sports agent. As I got older I started getting more into music. I loved finding new music to tell my friends about and it made me happy when I could introduce them to a band. When it was time to decide what I wanted to do with my life, I was unsure just like mostly everyone else. I looked at Point Park University since they had photography and really liked everything about the school. I then looked at more majors that Point Park offered and saw the sports, arts, and entertainment management program. I researched the major and met with Ed Traversari. After my visit to the school and meeting with Ed, I knew I wanted to work in music and attend Point Park. I started looking more into some different jobs in the music industry and decided I probably wanted to work at a record label.
How did you land internships with Stage AE and Sony Music Entertainment?
My internship at Stage AE began because I originally started working in guest services when the venue opened. I knew I wanted to get more involved at the venue so I applied for a marketing/promotion internship. I chose to intern at Stage AE because I had been working with the company for a few months and was impressed with their professionalism. I realized this would be a great opportunity for me to get more involved and it would also be a way for me to see what it actually takes to put on concerts.
As far as my position with Sony Music Entertainment, it is not exactly an internship, but a job. I am the college marketing representative for the Pittsburgh area for Sony Music. I got this job because the Sony representative before me, Bret Kunash, worked with me in guest services at Stage AE and I asked him about his position there and what exactly he did. He gave me a breakdown of what he did for them and I thought this is exactly what I wanted to do. He told me he had to give up the position since he was graduating and he said he would put in a good word for me with Sony. He really helped me out by showing me the ropes. I had multiple interviews with Sony and eventually received the position there. With Bret helping me out, it made the transition into working for Sony much easier. I am extremely fortunate to be working for such a great company and for having an awesome opportunity to work for one of the largest record labels in the world. This is exactly what I want to do and it is the perfect chance for me to break into the industry.
What kinds of work are you responsible for at these internships?
For Stage AE, a typical week for me is completing anything the marketing/promotion supervisors need done. This includes entering data from surveys, hanging flyers in the venue for an upcoming show, making calls to ticket winners, going over ideas for ways to promote a specific band, strategically planning ways to have a presence for Stage AE at other events in Pittsburgh, and creating awareness of upcoming shows using social media. Once I leave the office I usually take a ticket giveaway box to one of the record stores in my market. One thing that I really love about this internship is that they encourage creativity. They are always looking for unique promotions to do at shows to give the fans a more memorable experience.
For Sony, I work closely with local independent record stores, lifestyle businesses and college campuses by distributing various promotional materials. I work on numerous marketing campaigns for current artists on the Sony Music record label, as well as Sony's sublabels. I build and manage relationships with clients, tour managers, venue owners, retail business owners and consumers. I also complete extensive marketing research reports of attended events and finished promotions that are sent directly to label executives and artist management. Also, at least every two weeks I cover a show for a Sony artist. After the show I try to meet with the band to let them know that they have label support at the show. When I get back from the show, I put together a tour recap. This includes all of my market set up as well as pictures and a review of the concert including who the demographic was and what the venue was like.
What lessons have you learned so far?
I learned that it really is all about who you know in this industry. The better connected you are to people already in the industry, the better off you will be. You have to be able to build and maintain relationships with people and you can't burn any bridges in the process because you might need that person later on down the road or that person might end up being your boss. Be sincere and work as hard as you can. People notice a good worker. Take advantage of the opportunities that you have. Pittsburgh is a perfect city for a major like this. It has all of those industries, so any way you choose to go you have options. Some of the best advice I got from a friend in the industry was don't be too good for anything. We're all just starting off and sometimes that means you have to be willing to do things that no one else wants to do. Step up and offer to help out every chance you get.
What are your future career goals?
Once I graduate college, I am hoping to work for a record label. I would work in any position for a label but ultimately I would love to work in A&R (Artist & Repertoire). I enjoy finding new bands and sharing them with other people.

I have long given Chelios a bad rap because about 18 years ago, I ran into him at a joint in Oak Brook and he was a complete dick…throwing hundreds on the floor because money 'meant nothing' to him, asking every server and bartender if she would blow him in the parking lot, trying to fight anyone bigger than him…typical asshole stuff. But, that was only one time almost 20 years ago, so I should probably get over it. I mean, if the notoriously easy-going Vedder likes the guy, then I'm cool with him. Plus, he stays till the bitter end during one of the single worst games in the 140 years of Cubs history, so he can't be all that bad.
Now, Cusack is quite the different story. Look at his disheveledness. He looks like he's in the middle of a 10 day coke binge with a 30 year dead John Belushi. I can only imagine the scores of female fans he has personally disappointed tonight.
Eddie's a REAL Cubs fan. There he is in the bottom of the 8th with the Cubs down 16-1. Hell, even I would have bailed by then.

Still, add up the percentage of the market owned by the Amazon Kindle Fire, the Samsung Galaxy Tab slates and the Google Nexus 7, and they still can't overtake the iPad's share. But as Bob Zimmerman (you might know him as Bob Dylan) once sang,"The times they are a' changing." We recently told you that insiders in the upstream supply chain are looking for Apple iPad shipments to drop to as low as 10 million for Apple's fiscal fourth quarter. Not only did Apple just ship 14.6 million slates in its latest quarter, that number was well behind what analysts were looking for. A further drop to 10 million units would be a major slap in Apple's face.
The Apple iPad currently owns an all time low of 35.5% of the global tablet market according to figures from TrendForce. While Samsung's share was ahead on a sequential basis from the 20.2% it owned in the first quarter, the actual number of tablets it shipped actually declined, proving that overall the global tablet market ran into tough times in the April through June period.
One factor that might help Apple ring up some more tablet sales, would be the introduction and launch of the fifth-generation Apple iPad and the next iPad mini. Apple is said to be trying to decide whether or not to put a Retina display on the next iteration of its 7.9 inch tablet, fearing that doing so might take sales away from its full-sized slab. Meanwhile, the new Google Nexus 7 was available yesterday at a few retail locations, days before the July 30th launch date. Office supply chain Staples sold out of its supplies of both 16GB and 32GB models. At Amazon, the 32GB model is now on backorder and will arrive in 3 to 4 weeks. The strong start for the new Nexus 7 adds to the pressures now facing Apple in the tablet market.

Clinical Trial Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
EXALGO was administered to a total of 2,524 patients in 15 controlled and uncontrolled clinical studies. Of these, 423 patients were exposed to EXALGO for greater than 6 months and 141 exposed for greater than one year.
The most common adverse reactions leading to study discontinuation were nausea, vomiting, constipation, somnolence, and dizziness. The most common treatment-related serious adverse reactions from controlled and uncontrolled chronic pain studies were drug withdrawal syndrome, overdose, confusional state, and constipation.
The overall incidence of adverse reactions in patients greater than 65 years of age was higher, with a greater than 5% difference in rates for constipation and nausea when compared with younger patients. The overall incidence of adverse reactions in female patients was higher, with a greater than 5% difference in rates for nausea, vomiting, constipation and somnolence when compared with male patients.
A 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study was conducted in opioid tolerant patients with moderate to severe low back pain [see Clinical Studies]. A total of 447 patients were enrolled into the open-label titration phase with 268 patients randomized into the double-blind treatment phase. The adverse reactions that were reported in at least 2% of the patients are contained in Table 2.

The benefits of virtualization are quite obvious but when you start to really increase the density of virtual machines in order to maximize utilization suddenly it ain't such a simple proposition. The latest CPUs from AMD and Intel are more than up to the task of running 10-20 or more applications at a time. Most servers run out of memory and I/O bandwidth well before processing power. Recent announcements from the leading server vendors have been made to address the memory side by packing more DIMMs onto a single motherboard (including blade server boards), but you can only add so many Ethernet cards and Fibre Channel HBAs. Oh yeah, and then there's the switch ports to go with them (blade systems help a lot here).

Earlier this week, The Boston Globe reported that Egenera laid off short of 100 employees under the guise of the weakening economy, but there is more to this story. The reduction also reflects a shift in strategy to increase its focus on PAN Manager, its virtualization management software. Originally tied to its unique BladeFrame hardware products, PAN Manager was freed earlier this year and is currently distributed by Fujitsu-Siemens and Dell. As is often the case for hardware companies, Egenera's crown jewels are in this software and PAN Manager is one of the most mature, feature rich and enterprise tested of the virtualization software managers on the market.

At Dreamforce today, here in San Francisco, Salesforce.com announced a significant, and seemingly long overdue, enhancement to its SaaS offering. They announced Facebook and Force.com for Amazon Web Services that are pre-integrations between their platform and these two other platforms. This new capability lets enterprise customers of their CRM solution (or any other AppExchange or Force.com) provide a public front-end to their instance of these services, directly from these services. The big deal with these additions is that they let you tie third party applications directly into your Force.com applications. In the case of the AWS integration, if you have applications or services built in Java, the LAMP stack or native C code, you can integrate them with your Force.com apps.

You better believe I brush my dog's teeth! You brush your teeth no matter what you eat, right? Why wouldn't you brush your dog's teeth? It only takes a few minutes a day to brush. Do it at the same time you do yours.
Chews, treats, special diets, etc. only remove so much bacteria and plaque. Without proper dental hygiene, plaque and bacteria that you cannot see can eventaully lead to bad breath, gum disease, and other oral problems. If a dog's teeth are NOT taken care of properly, other health issues will arise such as heart disease and even death.
The same things that can happen to us when we don't take care of our teeth can happen to your dog.
Do you want to spend thousands of dollars in tooth extractions, dental visits, and other oral-related illnesses that could have been prevented?
There are dental cleansing pads, mouthwashes, and other products that help with oral care. Talk to your vet about what would be best for your pup. His life depends on you.

Courteney Cox Promise for Cougar Town on TBS - More Skin
Courteney Cox has promised more skin on the cable version of Cougar Town.
The sexy brunette actress says she channel her inner MILF and will flash her breasts on the show.
The 48-year-old star show will move from ABC to TBS when it returns to US screens this month and Courteney says moving to a cable network will allow her to have more nudity on the comedy.
She quipped:
"You will not see one scene that I don't show my boobs."
"You know what? I'm getting older, so I've decided at this point I'm taking less focus [on] the face, and more [on my breasts. By the time I'm much older, I will just be absolutely nude. I think it's [going to] work for me, I hope."
Executive producer, Bill Lawrence, backed up Courteney's claims, insisting she was ready to take more risks.
He joked: "There is one difference [with the show going to cable. I think I'm allowed to say … Courteney did declare this the year of her cleavage."
Courteney has been single since splitting with husband David Arquette in October 2010 -and her sitcom co-stars have previously revealed they want to help her find a new man.
When asked who he would pick for Courteney to date, co-star Brian van Holt pointed at Dan Byrd and joked: "She loves this man right here, she likes the cerebral hunk type."
Another 'Cougar Town' star, Busy Philipps, said she thinks the former 'Friends' actress needs someone who can coax her out to party.
She said: "A couple of people have asked me who I would set Courteney up with.
"I think she is a homebody and if Courteney had her way she would never leave her house, so she does need a partner who will bring her out and just tell her she has no choice and, make her go out into the world.
"She prefers everyone to come to her beautiful house, and by the way if my house was as good as hers I'd never want to leave it."

Back in May, staff writer Camille Dodero reported on the state of sex in Boston through interviews with straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people ("Sex (Circa 2006).") Topics ranged from one-night stands to monogamous relationships, from the bro job to the growing fluidity of sexual orientation.
Accompanying the story was the Phoenix's first-ever sex survey. Close to 1400 of you filled it out, mapping out your sexual lives (anonymously, of course) for all of us to read. The results are listed below, but here are some interesting tid-bits we pulled out.
The average age you gave up your V-card was about 16 (24 of you are still waiting until marriage, 81 for the right person, and 21 of you will stay abstinent until the apocalypse). Many of you did the deed in a car, on your parents' couch, or in the dreaded extra-long and far-too-narrow college-dorm-room beds. Other spots included a Prince concert, a gay bathhouse, and — quite possibly the saddest thing we've ever heard — in New Jersey. While most of you were in a relationship at the time, others lost their virginity to a co-worker while in Vegas, the high school tramp, or a married next-door neighbor. Proving a major premise of the story, more than two-thirds of you admitted to giving or receiving oral sex by the second or third date. Anal sex, on the other hand, is still up for debate; 615 of you refuse to do it, while 447 will do it gladly (or with a bit of persuasion). 114 of you go for the back door on the first date.
While 680 of you are currently in a relationship and 785 of you have never cheated on your partner, you masturbate to both past and current lovers — equally. (And, of course, to porn stars and the occasional celebrity.) One of you dreams of being "between the Brokeback Mountain dudes" and another wants to "tie Johnny Damon up in a Red Sox jersey" and dominate him.
This past year has proven to be eventful, as you've added sex toys, anal sex, phone sex, and bondage to your repertoire. This isn't a surprise considering that almost all of you admit to having sex on your mind throughout the day. Threesomes are high on the list of wild things you've done; anal sex, orgies, and bondage are also among the top five. Six of you have been "fisted" (likely), two of you have fucked a moose (unlikely), and one of you gave oral to your professor (the authenticity of this statement depends entirely on what this person's grade was at midterm). Eighty-six of you want to have sex under the lights at Fenway (24 dream of doggy-style on the pitcher's mound), while 85 want to be on a tropical beach (only one of you brought up the fact that sand poses a rather painful problem). Eighteen of you hope to screw in an elevator (three want it made of glass) and 13 of you hope to bang on the church altar (you seem split 50-50 as to whether or not the clergy should be present). For the woman who wants to do it on Mitt Romney's desk, there's always the Make-A-Wish foundation. At the end, we asked for your suggestions for next year's survey. And the Phoenix promises it will be a lot more personal and a lot more freaky.

Verdict expected Thursday in trial of Cañon City councilman
CAÑON CITY, Colo. - Jurors are expected to reach a verdict Thursday in the trial of a Cañon City councilman accused of assaulting an elderly couple.
Michael "Colby" Katchmar is accused of starting a fight with a woman at a wine-tasting event at Michael's on Main on May 30.
Margene Martin said she was seated beside Katchmar and asked him what he was going to do about a mosquito problem by her home. Katchmar then "blew up in my face," Margene Martin said. She said Katchmar began calling her vulgar words. "I'm not used to men talking to me like that," she testified.
Margene said when she and her husband, Robert Martin, left the event around 8:45 p.m., Katchmar was blocking the front door. Margene Martin said Robert Martin and her walked around him. She said as they were walking toward the car, she heard Katchmar shout: I've been assaulted!" Margene Martin said she thought it was bizarre because neither she nor her husband had touched Katchmar.
Moments later, Margene Martin said she stepped out of her car and Thomas Lockhart, a local artist, grabbed her arms and threw her onto the ground. "He was a total stranger. I was frightened," she said. Margene Martin said she suffered two fractures on her hip and a contusion on her head. "My head was just bleeding profusely."
Margene Martin said she never saw Katchmar or Lockhart hit her husband.
Lockhart entered a plea deal Wednesday, pleading guilty to third-degree assault of an at-risk adult. Judge David Thorson decided to postpone Lockhart's sentencing until Katchmar's trial is completed.
At the end of testimony on Wednesday, Katchmar had not decided whether he would be testifying Thursday. Thorson said closing arguments need to be finished by noon Thursday.

What hasn't yet been written about Detroit?
Essays and articles abound about our city these days (go ahead, add this one to the pile). We pontificate and celebrate with an eye on business activity, an artistic renaissance, and land-use challenges.
But how often do we take a human perspective? I'm not talking about human-interest stories a la the Today Show. I'm wondering, how often do we consider Detroit as a collection of people, a set of human stories and social networks that collide and connect with one another? In my experience, not often enough.
Take a few minutes and look across town with this in mind. What do you see?
I see a town where everybody's running for mayor (note the lowercase "m").
It's a beautiful thing, actually. Detroiters everywhere are ideating, creating, and doing -- without permission and with unprecedented ambition.
A couple with a young child buys homes and uses public art to create a new sense of place near Hamtramck; a group of citizens come together to form Detroit 300, a city-wide community safety network; a lawyer finds time to build I-SEE Detroit, a web platform where Detroiters can report problems and progress across the city; and marketing executives who support the auto industry open Signal Return, a non-profit art and print shop in Eastern Market.
Just as the rise of the Internet compelled millions worldwide to move from passive consumers of culture to active producers of it, real-world dynamics of opportunity and identity are compelling many thousands of Detroiters to engage in the vitality of our community in ways few other cities can claim.
"Detroit is flat," I've been saying of late. Not just topographically but -- more importantly -- as it relates to the barriers to entry in our "public square."
In 2004, Tom Friedman made an eloquent case in The World Is Flat regarding how and why the Internet has "flattened" global business dynamics. In 2011, the Internet has joined forces with human dynamics of opportunity and identity to truly flatten Detroit's social change sector.
What do we do about it?
Well, if you're reading this piece, there aren't too many excuses about why you shouldn't be an active participant in this movement. Detroit presents an unparalleled opportunity for each one of us to unlock our inherent creativity and potential.
See a problem, ideate against it, buy a URL, and go.
Then what? Do we sit back and assume that this human activity will endure and affirm Detroit's limitless future?
In a word, no.
In addition to actively participating in Detroit's surge of human engagement, my own view is that we all need to do our part to recognize existing citizen leadership and create easy opportunities for the existing work to grow.
All of the initiatives that I've launched and overseen in Detroit, including Michigan Corps, Kiva Detroit, and the BME Challenge, present opportunities for existing citizen leadership to feel honored, connected, and amplified.
Kiva Detroit, for instance, is a citizen network that empowers all Detroiters to source, lend to, and champion small businesses in our own community. We launched this first-of-its-kind effort after noting this kind of behavior was already happening across our city; all Kiva Detroit does is call it out and lift it up.
Does all of this sound a little too simple? Well, it's an unabashedly human approach.
I recently had the chance to interact with Egyptian activists who played a role in the uprising in Cairo last winter. Yes, social media was a helpful organizing tool. But it was more important, they say, that the rest of the world was "Tweeting back." Connection and recognition.
All of this is why it's especially exciting to lead the Knight Foundation's grant-making across Detroit. Here in Detroit, we pursue our national mission of informed and engaged communities by investing in initiatives that make it easy for Detroiters to lead and see themselves as leaders.
In addition to supporting Kiva Detroit and the BME Challenge, we're investing in Citizen Effect's Detroit4Detroit, Hatch Detroit, Model D's The Next Big Thing, and more. All of these initiatives put leadership, with a lowercase "l," within the reach of many more Detroiters.
Sometimes, when articulating this people-centric approach around the country, I get the sense that my audience hears "cute" and not "great"... "fun" and not "sophisticated."
The business models of the future demand that big institutions, too, engage individual human beings not just as customers but as agents of organizational mission and productivity.
I later pause my audience and ask them to share their own stories and how they've gotten where they have.
Their answers? It's the people, stupid.

I am surprised this is still available!
By Fari
from S'toon, Sk
With this price this set is a steal. I was skeptic about this duo but I was totally wrong. The lipgloss color is gorge and the blush compact also looks and feel high end. The color combo is perfect for fall. So glad I bought this duo.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

great duo

in my opinion, the colour will compliment every skin tone, blush with the mirror and a lip gloss with just the right touch of shine, at this price, it's a WINNER

I have purchased this product 4 times
By Gma
from St Thomas (On)
Love this product. You can see the quality and a little bit goes a long way. Lip gloss is perfect for everyone's skin tones.
By Cindy
from Hamilton, Ont
Decided to take a chance on these products; price was so good so I had nothing to lose. The blush is amazing; goes on smoothly and is not over powering. Don't let the colour in the picture deter you; it does not go on heavy or with a deep colour. It is a delicate colour that looks very natural.
So good I re ordered more
Love this line of products, excellent quality, lasts for a long time. Lip gloss is perfect in every way. Only thing that could have improved it was to include one of those amazing brushes.

The lip gloss is a very unique shade,stays on well and not sticky. The blush is dark in the compact but it blends well and you need very little.Will definitely reorder these products.
Order in person on phone
By Anna
from Ontario
Please note that the colour shown is sold out but there are two other colours left and maybe one would suit you. I was unhappy that something else arrived that was not advertised but perhaps I can be helpful by telling you there is one that is mauve and one that is brown.
Not what I received!
By Andrea
I received a PURPLE/MAUVE blush and lipgloss with a completely different name with the word "berry" so beware.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We have had the reality antics of Essex, Chelsea and Newcastle and now Coventry are set to make their mark on the British public's reality viewing, as anew TOWIE style show, Sent To Coventry, is in production according to the Coventry Telegraph.
However, before your eyes start rolling at the thought of yet another group of young socialites entertaining us with their lavish parties and champagne swigging, Sent To Coventry promises to be more real and gritty and will focus on more real issues such as unemployment and family – less Mark Wright, more Jeremy Kyle!
The show will feature people from all different walks of Coventry life in this semi-scripted production, of which residents of the Town are being invited to audition for in the New Year.
Producer Richard Wood said: "The show will be much more real than its rivals, but still be very entertaining. We want to have a diverse range of people: young, old, professional, or jobless so that we can create a fantastic show that appeals to all ages.
"We ideally want everyone from the city to audition, so do not think twice about coming down, you might just be exactly what we are looking for."
The show is also set to involve one of Coventry's most famous exports, actress Holly Matthews, who is famous for her roles in shows like Byker Grove and Waterloo Road.
Matthews said: "I'm very excited to start casting the show and look forward to meeting people from all areas of Coventry life.
"Coventry is a fantastic city, so let's put it on the map and show the country what it's really like to be Sent To Coventry."
The announcement of this new show sent social networking site, Twitter, into a Coventry frenzy and before long the new show was even trending!
Auditions for Sent To Coventry will take place at Seven Nightclub, in Hales Street, Coventry city centre, from 10am on Friday, January 11, with only people aged 18 or over welcome to try out.
Previous stars from Coventry include X Factor's Charlie Healy, currently touring the country with his band The Risk, and former nurse Bex Shiner who starred in series nine of Big Brother four years ago.

By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — For Pennsylvania judges, turning 70 means it's time to retire whether they're ready or not.
But in the face of constitutional arguments and spry septuagenarians of the modern age, state lawmakers are taking a look as to whether that law is worth an update.
A House subcommittee hearing Thursday examined House Bill 79, which would raise the required retirement age for justices to 75. The Pennsylvania Constitution states all justices must leave the bench by the end of the year they turn 70. They can continue to serve as a senior judge, which part time, until they turn 78.
To bill sponsor Rep. Kate Harper,R-Montgomery, it's hard to believe a justice is suddenly unable to do their job at 71. Age brings reason, she said, and justices can be plenty effective after age 70.
"If we want wise and just judges making the right decisions for the individuals who stand in front of them, we just might learn to prize their extensive experience and the wisdom that it brings," Harper said.
Though lawmakers have broached the issue in the past, several justices nearing t70 are plaintiffs in two pending cases challenging the constitutionality of the retirement requirement. One of those cases is scheduled to go before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on May 8.
In order to change the Constitution, the bill would have to pass two consecutive sessions of the General Assembly and go to voters in a statewide referendum.
Proponents of changes say age is relative, and the judiciary system has existing structures to remove justices who become unfit to their job at any age. But others question diminished mental capacity, and say booting judges out at a certain point allows for fresh turnover.
Dr. Thomas Weida, a professor at the Penn State College of Medicine, said age isn't the only factor that can diminish capacity for reason. Diet, exercise, genetics and other health considerations can play a role in cognitive abilities. And conditions like dementia aren't statistically more likely to set in at 75 than they are 70, he said.
"Even in advanced age, the prevalence of dementia which can interfere with decision making is relatively small part up until the age of 75," Weida said.
Weida described the parts of the brain that deteriorate with age, called spiny dendrites, which affect capacity for new memories. But the parts associated with long-term knowledge, called stubby dendrites, suffer no declines.
In cases where a judge of any age may appear to lose their capacity to serve, the court already has in place a process for removal that starts with a complaint.
Further, judges often will step down of their own volition, said Pennsylvania Bar Association President Tom Wilkinson.
"It is not at all uncommon for other members of the judiciary and the county where a judge who might be impaired serves, or for the bar and others, to encourage more senior judges who are less effective or productive to step down," Wilkinson said.
Nationwide, 33 states have provisions on mandatory retirement, according to Lynn Marks, executive director of Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts. While Marks said the organization had no official position on the bill, she said there is a national trend towards increasing or eliminating these requirements.
Ken Gormley, dean of the School of Law at Duquesne University and an expert on the Pennsylvania Constitution, said the retirement mandate was created during the 1968 Constitutional Convention. Before then, judicial age was open-ended, which created problems if justices began show signs of senility.
"It was to eliminate the unpleasantness of forcing the Supreme Court or some other body to remove judges, a small number of judges, who were having some kind of mental or physical infirmity," Gormley said.
Gormely said the framers had the expectation the mandate would be updated in the future. At the time, average life expectancy was about 70. Nearly half a century later, average life expectancy is at 78. Additionally, more women have entered the profession, who tend to have longer life expectancies than men, Gormley said.
He called the legislation "a perfect balance" between updating the law, while still ensuring turnover in the judicial system. The state's amendment process is designed precisely to allow for these kind of updates, he said.
"If there is no point at which judges must retire or take some sort of senior status, this may ultimately harm the citizens of the commonwealth if there is no opportunity for the fresh ideas, fresh talent and diverse pool of qualified candidates to compete for judicial election or appointment," he said.

I left my loving family on July 6th, 2014. I'm watching down on all my family and friends and protecting them.
I'm moving away from sunny California to rainy Oregon... I do hope I meet some friends. I better put my raincoat on.
So, what's up with the weather at my house? The mushy feeling beneath my toes is just wrong.. and what's up with my mom wanting to bathe me everytime I go outside? Eeu de wet dog smells like roses to me! Anyway, about this weather... don't even ask me why I still get scared of thunder. But my mom holds me and cradles me until I've calmed down, but still, thunder and lightening makes my nerves freak out. My dad says I should just grow up and get over it.. geez dad, thanks for that Dr. Phil insight. I'm going to the pet resort again this weekend. It's cool.. I get to watch TV, lounge, play with not so forunate looking dogs, and basically just be on vaca from my mom.

Dear Dolores,
Why are high school golf teams noted as men and women when other sports are girls and boys. Is golf less emotional and childish?
What we expect from our young men and women in high school earns them that designation as young adults and the right to be treated as such, don't you think?
So far our community alliance with the partnership among students and teachers has created a very well-educated adult result. I think celebration is in order, right?

The Nightingale Awards honor exceptional nurses practicing in the Commonwealth. The awards are intended to give state and national recognition to recipients. Each award recognizes outstanding nurses in various areas of practice. The Nightingale Awards of PA is an organization that promotes nursing throughout Pennsylvania. It awards scholarships each spring and honors nurses at the annual Awards Gala each fall.
Since 2003, Evangelical Community Hospital has placed finalists in the Nightingale Awards of Pennsylvania. Evangelical was honored to not only have two finalists in 2008, but to have two winners. Sue Hertzler, LPN, won the award in the Clinical Practice LPN category and Linda Zechman, RN, won the award in the Patient Choice category. Listen to their radio interview.
2008 was the sixth consecutive year that Evangelical has placed a nurse as a finalist for the Nightingale Awards, an outstanding achievement for a hospital of its size. But it was the first time in the Hospital's history that two nurses won the award in the same year.
Sue Hertzler, a resident of Milton, is a Licensed Practical Nurse in the Emergency Department. She was named winner in the Clinical Practice LPN category. Hertzler exhibits excellent patient care through proficient and consistent clinical skills, as well as a compassionate and caring demeanor. She goes above and beyond when providing care, as evidenced by her calm, reassuring manner, and unique communication gifts.
Hertzler has taken a special interest in pediatric patients, and has a particularly good style when dealing with combative children, emotionally charged individuals and people with special needs. As an innovator, she was instrumental in the Hospital's Clinical Ladder beginning to accept LPNs to its program.
Hertzler is the adoptive parent of three special needs children, and spends one week of her vacation as the camp nurse at a facility for children with special needs. Professionally, she is an active member of the Emergency Nurses Association.
Linda Zechman, a resident of Laurelton, was named a winner in the Patient Choice category. In December of 2007, Zechman was named Employee of the Month, and later named the 2007 Employee of the Year.
She displays compassion, patience and respect for her patients and their families, and continuously goes above and beyond the call of duty. She provides exceptional care and serves as an excellent health resource for her patients, as well as exhibiting warmth and sensitivity.
Professionally, she is involved in Clinical Ladder, Hospital Value Analysis, Quality Improvement and recently earned BLS instructor certification to help meet the needs of infants going home on apnea monitors.

I am Japanese. I do not like to pollute the room. So, I think that the room will not get dirty. I came to Australia to study English. My English is not good yet, but I am studying very hard.
I'm about to move from Melbourne to the NSW south coast. I'm looking for somewhere to stay while I find a place to buy. I'm very tidy and a great cook.
Hi , I am sijin form India holding 489 provisional visa and allowed to work full time in south coast region and will have to look for job once i reach in Australia . Looking for a single or shared accommodation and would be moving to Australia by August 2017. I don't have any pets and I am a friendly person .
I keep myself to myself and mind my own business but do like a chat and shared meal from time to time. I am technically retired but still take the occasional writing contract - working from home - when I can get it. I prefer a "healthy living" household so that we are on the same wavelength and am happy to grow food and care for fruit trees. I am also happy to live with animals if lease conditions allow it, but no longer have any animals of my own.

This past year, Temple Beth-El in Rockaway Park entered its 81st year in service to the community and its Rabbi, Allan Blaine, entered his 32nd year in service to the synagogue.
Peter Vallone is still pushing a bill that he proposed that would ban smoking in all restaurants and in bars connected to restaurants. There are a number of bar in restaurant owners in Rockaway who are gearing up to fight the bill. Dan Tubridy, the owner of Pier 92, has always been on the forefront of the battle against a ban on smoking.
Sarah Berger and Ken Leif, both of Rockaway, were the only two persons who correctly identified Gustive and Mae Hartman in response to a picture of Mae that we ran two weeks ago. Gustive Hartman was a chief judge of the New York State Supreme Court and Mae ran the Israel Orphan Home in what is now a park at the end of Mott Avenue in Bayswater. The picture she holds in the Wave's picture was of an artist's rendering of the home. She was pictured with the city's commissioner of Buildings.
Not everybody thinks of New York City as kid-friendly. A recent survey by the Zero Population Growth people, however, rank New York City fourth (behind Portland, Seattle andd Minneapolis) in terms of being just that. The study grades children's quality of life in 239 American cities.
The focus is again falling on the Far Rockaway Shopping Mall, which has fallen into complete disarray. At one time, the mall was full of thriving businesses and restaurants. Now, only two or three remain. A number of politicians and activists have been working for years to clean up the mall's act, but its owners would rather not. The Stark family, which has owned the property from the beginning, refuses to fix it up, clean it up, rent to new tenants, or to sell it to somebody who will. Why? That is a question that nobody seems to be able to answer, least of all, the Stark family.
The city has announced that 60 new two-family homes are being offered between Beach 59 and Beach 62 Streets, a portion of the Arverne Urban Renewal Area. The applicants for the $300 thousand homes will be chosen from among those who apply by lottery. Current Rockaway residents will get priority on about a third of the new homes and police officers on about five percent of the new homes. A minimum family income of $40 a year is required. Those who are interested should contact the Briarwood Organization in Bayside. The deadline for applications is August 31.
The latest polls show that Mark Green has increased his lead for the Democratic nomination for mayor with 36 percent of those polled. Alan Hevesi has risen to 19 percent, Peter Vallone to 17 percent and Fernando Ferrer has dropped to 14 percent. A candidate needs 40 percent to win the September 11th primary outright and it looks as if none of the candidates will get that 40 percent. If not, there will be a runoff between the two top vote getters two weeks later.
New York Post political pundit Bob Hardt took some time off from his day job to judge a Rockaway Beach bikini contest held at Connolly's recently. Jeff Aquilante, the brother of Post rock critic, Dan Aquilante, hosted the affair.
If you crave kosher chicken, you have two places to go: the new Belle Harbor Deli on Beach 116 Street and the K Empire Roasters on Columbia Avenue in Cedarhurst. Both feature both eat-in and take-out menus and both cater to Rockaway residents.
Classes will begin on September 10 at the Long Island Gymnastics Academy in Cedarhurst. The facility has been training Rockaway youngsters for more than 20 years.

"The president has set forth a really bold agenda for American foreign Rice said in a brief address to State Department employees who applauded as she entered the lobby. "I can't think of a better call than to say that America will stand for free- dom and for liberty, that America will stand with those who want their aspirations met for liberty and freedom." Among dozens of phone calls with foreign ministers and heads of government, Rice spoke Thursday with Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Italian Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini. Lavrov congratulated Rice on her confirmation and dis- cussed the upcoming meeting between Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Slovakia, a statement from the Russian foreign ministry said.

Michael Leavitt: He won confirmation as the new secretary of health and human services were waiting for her in her new office. In announcing her nomination, Bush joked that Rice's dream job would be commissioner of the National Football League. Bush was to attend Rice's ceremonial swearing-in on today. She assumed her du- ties as the country's 66th sec- retary of state Wednesday night, after a bruising Senate confirmation process. Senate Democrats harshly criticized her performance planning for war as Bush's White House national security adviser, her stance on U.S. torture poli- cies and other topics.

Bush proposes S3.2B to fight AIDS worldwide President Bush's new bud- get will ask Congress to provide billion to combat AIDS in Africa and other poor regions, senior administration officials said Thursday. The request would represent the latest portion of Bush's 2003 pledge to provide billion over the next five years to com- bat the disease overseas.

This year marks a milestone for North Carolina's second oldest town and its first capital--New Bern celebrates its 300th birthday in 2010. Remarkably ancient by American standards, in the global context New Bern's but a baby. Its Swiss namesake of Bern, founded in 1191, was already half a century old when Christophe de Graffenried, a citizen of a small community outside the Swiss capital, established North Carolina's New Bern as a colonial outpost.
In the UNC-TV original production Bern and New Bern: 300 Years Later, premiering Thursday, February 4, at 9:30 PM, Rob Holliday joins a New Bern-based delegation as it travels to "Old" Bern to explore connections between the Tar Heel city and its Swiss family. His series of special reports originally aired on North Carolina Now. Now, with additional original material, Bern and New Bern: 300 Years Later highlights the ties between the two Berns, showcases anniversary events and takes a closer look at the Graffenried family, whose mark continues on the "old" Bern. Coverage also includes Bern, Switzerland's centerpiece of the celebration--a special month-long exhibition at its history museum.
Bern and New Bern: 300 Years Later is a production of UNC-TV in association with New Bern's 300th Anniversary Celebration. Major funding for North Carolina Now is provided by UNC-TV members. Additional funding for this program is provided by North Carolina's Eastern Region.

Zdeno Chara to play Tuesday
|12.31.13 at 12:41 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins captain Zdeno Chara will be in the lineup Tuesday night against the Islanders after missing Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury.
While there is no word on what kept Chara out Saturday, he was able to practice Monday and took part in Tuesday's morning skate. Afterwards, he said that he doesn't feel the injury will limit him once he's back on the ice.
"I wouldn't want to go out there and be kind of a weak link," Chara said. "I feel that I can still contribute and play my game."

The Two Destinies HTML version
13. Not Cured Yet
WE visited France, Germany, and Italy; and we were absent from England nearly two
Had time and change justified my confidence in them? Was the image of Mrs. Van
Brandt an image long since dismissed from my mind?
No! Do what I might, I was still (in the prophetic language of Dame Dermody) taking the
way to reunion with my kindred spirit in the time to come. For the first two or three
months of our travels I was haunted by dreams of the woman who had so resolutely left
me. Seeing her in my sleep, always graceful, always charming, always modestly tender
toward me, I waited in the ardent hope of again beholding the apparition of her in my
waking hours--of again being summoned to meet her at a given place and time. My
anticipations were not fulfilled; no apparition showed itself. The dreams themselves grew
less frequent and less vivid and then ceased altogether. Was this a sign that the days of
her adversity were at an end? Having no further need of help, had she no further
remembrance of the man who had tried to help her? Were we never to meet again?
I said to myself: "I am unworthy of the name of man if I don't forget her now!" She still
kept her place in my memory, say what I might.
I saw all the wonders of Nature and Art which foreign countries could show me. I lived in
the dazzling light of the best society that Paris, Rome, Vienna could assemble. I passed
hours on hours in the company of the most accomplished and most beautiful women
whom Europe could produce--and still that solitary figure at Saint Anthony's Well, those
grand gray eyes that had rested on me so sadly at parting, held their place in my memory,
stamped their image on my heart.
Whether I resisted my infatuation, or whether I submitted to it, I still longed for her. I did
all I could to conceal the state of my mind from my mother. But her loving eyes
discovered the secret: she saw that I suffered, and suffered with me. More than once she
said: "George, the good end is not to be gained by traveling; let us go home." More than
once I answered, with the bitter and obstinate resolution of despair: "No. Let us try more
new people and more new scenes." It was only when I found her health and strength
beginning to fail under the stress of continual traveling that I consented to abandon the
hopeless search after oblivion, and to turn homeward at last.
I prevailed on my mother to wait and rest at my house in London before she returned to
her favorite abode at the country-seat in Perthshire. It is needless to say that I remained in
town with her. My mother now represented the one interest that held me nobly and
endearingly to life. Politics, literature, agriculture--the customary pursuits of a man in my
position--had none of them the slightest attraction for me.

Re: Luke Cage: Update
Ok guys the script is done. Will Singleton do this first or Black Panther. Well he does have at least one film to do before starting either. Marvel got Luke Cage rights back but it is not part of the financed slate so Marvel needs to have it added to the Merill slate like Hulk & Iron Man, or get alternate financing. Luke Cage on the other hand does not have a ready script but financing is in place. LOL
My bet...Luke Cage is added to the slate and starts filming early 2008 for a 2009 release and with be Marvel Studios 2nd film in 2009. Thor and Luke Cage.
Here's the exerpt:
BSN: Are you itching to get back in the directors chair?
JS: Yes, Im about to direct a movie right now with Halle Berry.
BSN: You mean the crime drama Luke Cage?
JS: No, Tulia. Tulia, Texas.
BSN: Halles already signed on and youre making that movie before Luke Cage?
JS: Yes.
BSN: Whats it about?
JS: It about a small town in Texas where all these Black people were arrested and railroaded for drug-dealing.
BSN: Oh, I remember that real-life case. They all were framed. Its good that youre telling their story, like another Rosewood. Are you worried about Illegal Tenders R rating?
JS: Why would I worry about it?
BSN: Werent you shooting for a PG-13?
JS: With this movie? Heck no, it wasnt even a consideration.
BSN: Has the backlash that brought down Don Imus influenced you now as you go about making movies?
JS: No, not at all. Why should that effect me?
BSN: Well, when Im watching a movie, and I hear someone refer to a Black female as a ho, I definitely flinch and feel distracted and think about Imus remark.
JS: But why does it take Don Imus to make anybody watch what they say in terms of how they talk about their own people. I dont give a damn about Don Imus. I think Black people need to check themselves. He said what he said because he was trying to be hip and cool, and he learned that language from us. It wasnt from a whole bunch of white people sitting around talking about nappy-headed hos. He got too familiar.
BSN: Did you feel comfortable casting Rick Gonzalez and Wanda De Jesus, a
couple of relative unknowns, as your leads in what could prove to be breakout roles for them?
JS: Yes I did. Look at my other pictures. Thats what I do. I use new people. And after I use them, they become stars.
BSN: Like you did for Tyrese in Baby Boy. Now, hes in blockbusters like Transformers. Is he attached to Luke Cage?
JS: Not yet.
BSN: Whats the plan for that picture?
JS: Well, we have a script, but were really trying to work it out with the studio. The studio hasnt made a deal for it yet.
