Decline in Service & Substance aboard Princess Cruise Lines: Crown Princess Cruise Review by SunshineGram
Overall Member Rating
Decline in Service & Substance aboard Princess Cruise Lines
Destination: Europe - British Isles & Western
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
With few exceptions, the trip was a complete disappointment. From the over all service in every department, to the TSA tactics of the ships security detail when dealing with returning guest passengers; the majority of them affluent, seasoned travelers and over 55 years old. Each time we were made to feel like criminals smuggling drugs. Absurd! No one every greeted us upon our return from shore.
The shows were boring and lackluster, not to mention repeat performances from past cruises. Activities from Bingo to Trivia were disorganized; we moved rooms on 3 separate occasions because the venue was too small. "Games" typical of Carnival Caribbean cruises geared for the under 30 crowds were an More embarrassing part of the very public Piazza programs. Watching 60 year old couples "bouncing" on balloons positioned on their partners lap, was disgusting!
As an Elite Member, I am entitled to free dry cleaning. Of the 5 things I sent to the cleaners, one suit was lost completely and one brand new $200 jacket was washed - not dry cleaned and subsequently ruined. I won't go into the fiasco that followed.
Travelers who have the time and discretionary income to travel first class transatlantic are usually seasoned cruisers. We can spend our money on a myriad of vacation options available these days, not just cruises. Princess staff appears younger and less experienced without guidance from senior staff, who.... know better.
I didn't feel valued as a loyal Elite passenger on the last 3 trips with Princess and after this recent trip aboard the Crown which will be my last - I hope to find a new cruise line who does value my business and respect me as a passenger. Shame on Carnival... their corporate philosophy is even seeping onto the Cunard Line. It is sad. Less

Port and Shore Excursions
Be prepared to wait. In the wrong line. For a long time. To be ignored and insulted.
Unorganized, uninformed and inexperienced.
We paid over $240 to go the the Tulip Fesitval in Rotterdam. When we got there all the tulips had been cut down. Princess offered no explanation or refund.
In Dublin, on a trip to Powerscourt Estate including the "Waterfall", when we inquried at the tour desk if the Waterfall was on the Estate Grounds - the tour desk employees - 3 of them - said "I don't know" and when asked if they would find out and call us with the answer, they said sure. They never did call us.
This was repeated on almost every trip. It is a testimony as to why so many folks we know book their trips via Cruise Critic, American Express or just on their own. Can't blame them.

Excellent for daily use and emergencies
I will be purchasing several more of these flashlights for all of my vehicles and another for my home. The description of the product doesn't note that it has a connector for a cell phone charger (connector not included, however, mine fits). When I lived in the West Coast I always had a earthquake safety kit and had to change batteries in my flashlights often to ensure they were good. Now I live in an area where hurricane preparation is a must and this is flashlight is part of my safety package. Even during heavy rainstorms when power fails this is an excellent source of light. When I opened the package and pulled the string once, I instantly had a bright light. The solar panel is definitely a plus.Read More
Easy Manual Recharging Method, Longevity Unknown
The pulling mechanism of this flashlight is much easier to use than the handcrank type of manual recharging flashlight we already have. The unknown at this point is the quality of the rechargeable battery and if it'll be able to hold a charge over the long term. (Our handcrank was great in the beginning, but too weak to hold a useful charge after a year or two and can only produce a dim light after charging.) I really like the concept of having the pull and solar charging options and leave the flashlight in my car so I know where to find it. I imagine the solar option could be good for camping; I probably wouldn't leave it out to charge in the sun for the necessary 6-8 hours otherwise (due to impatience/inconvenience). The cell phone plug is also a good idea, but wouldn't fit my phone connection (or many of the modern ones I see nowadays). It's the small, round 2mm (approx.) round hole type that would''ve fit my phone from 10 years ago.Read More
Easy to charge, good strong light
I haven't had time to test it other than charge it and see if it gave light. I charged it in a window and the light given off from the led's after charging was very strong. I don't know yet how long it will hold its charge. I suppose that's potentially indefinite, since it's not at all hard to recharge. I really like this flashlight. Too big and bulky for my key ring, but certainly small enough for a purse or car glove box. I'll probably order another. In fact, this would make a nice gift.Read More
Works Well
I was very pleased with this purchase and I will be getting more for the family. Its nice you can charge your phone with just a few pulls of the cord as well as nice bright light. For the price its the best "pull to charge" item I have found so far.Read More

DIY - Oil Change with Pics
Hi Guys
Just did the oil change for the first time on my 650i
Here are some steps
BMW N62 Oil Change
This was performed on a 2008 650i, but as the title indicates, its good for all the N62 engines.
Tools needed (besides the obvious oil catch pan, ramps, oil and oil filter.)
1st = 8mm (Plastic cover), 2nd = 8mm (Main drain plug), 3rd = T40 (Oil filter drain plug), 4th = 24mm (Oil filter housing)
After the car is jacked up, you will find this plastic cover, remove this cover.
Remove oil drain plug. (remember to put the catch pan below!)
Drain the oil from the oil drain plug.
Change the oring on the oil drain plug.
After draining the oil filter housing, remove the oil filter housing.
Picture of the new and old oil filter.
Change out the oil filter housing oring.
assemble everything back and make sure there are no leaks. Fill up with the new oil and you are all good to go! And you just saved about $100 vs. bring it to the dealer.

New Financial Aid Program Offers Access, Opportunity
Financial aid packages for undergraduates will not contain need-based student loans.
In a historic move that strengthens its dedication to accessibility and affordability, Vanderbilt announced last month that it will eliminate need-based loans from financial aid packages offered to eligible undergraduates. Starting in fall 2009, the amount of need-based loans normally included in undergraduate financial aid awards for new and returning students will be replaced with Vanderbilt grants and scholarships. In addition, seniors slated to graduate in May 2009 will have their need-based loans for the spring 2009 semester replaced with grant and scholarship assistance.
"This underscores Vanderbilt's commitment to the belief that ability, achievement and hard work—not a family's financial status—should determine access to a great education," said Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos of the historic move. "When financial barriers to a Vanderbilt education are reduced or eliminated, Vanderbilt becomes a more dynamic environment for everyone. Every student benefits from the enriched community composed of highly talented and qualified students of all economic, cultural and geographic backgrounds."
Provost Richard McCarty noted that Vanderbilt will continue to be one of only a few U.S. universities that employs a "need-blind" admissions approach and additionally guarantees to meet each student's demonstrated financial need. "We will continue to make admission decisions based on such factors as character, academic strength and leadership skills, but not on a family's income level or ability to pay," McCarty said.
No Income Cap for Families
Unlike some other leading universities which have either reduced or eliminated need-based loans solely for low- and/or middle-income families, Vanderbilt will eliminate them for all students who qualify for need-based financial assistance, based on a holistic review of individual family circumstances. In determining a student's demonstrated financial need, Vanderbilt takes into account each student's individual family circumstances and all educational costs such as tuition, fees, housing, meals, books and course materials, plus allowances for personal and travel expenses.
The fall 2009 program will apply to all need-based loans for new and returning undergraduate students.
Debt Reduction A Priority
The university started an initiative to reduce students' education-related debt approximately seven years ago. That initiative has already resulted in the reduction of average overall indebtedness of graduating seniors by 17 percent. The additional funds needed to fully replace need-based loans will come from institutional reallocations and from earnings on an additional $100 million to be raised in new scholarship endowment over the next several years. A top priority of Vanderbilt's ongoing Shape the Future campaign has been, and will continue to be, increased scholarship support. Vanderbilt will specifically seek philanthropic gifts from alumni and friends for this initiative.
In addition to encouraging students to consider Vanderbilt who might not have otherwise, the initiative will also allow students to pursue further education or career options that they might not have considered if they had need-based student loan debt.
Reaction on campus and in the College of Arts and Science was swift and positive. "Put simply, our investment in a no-loan policy is both good business and right business," said Carolyn Dever, interim dean of the College of Arts and Science. "Good business because it will enable us to attract the best students regardless of their means. Right business because the College of Arts and Science benefits from the socioeconomic diversity of its student body. The impact goes even further: our society benefits from the freedom of young Vanderbilt alumni to choose any career path without the burden of student-loan debt. We're excited about what this means for our students and the entire expanded Vanderbilt community."

Crystal Springs, Mississippi
Bessie Lackey Stapleton, Founder of Mississippi PTA
"I had a vision and like Banquo's Ghost 'it would not down.' The eyes of my own children and of all Mississippi children seemed to look into mine with a plea for help." These are the words of Bessie Lackey Stapleton, founder in Crystal Springs of the Missisippi Congress of Parents and Teachers in 1909.
As far back as 1888, a movement to help parents to understand child life had been initiated by the Child Study Association. Then in 1895, Alice McLelland Birney had so seriously reflected on the responsibility of both parents and teachers for the children of the world that she began to take steps that led eventually to the founding of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers which she had originally thought of as a National Congress of Mothers.
But it was Bessie Lackey Stapleton who had the vision and the determination to organize a state group for the special benefit of Mississippi children. Mrs. Stapletom's intellect, education and character were such that even a task of this magnitude was not too great for her. Born in Crystal Springs, she was particularly fortunate in her parents and in he life at home. Her mother, Elizabeth McRae Sumrall Stapleton, was a niece of Governor John J. McRae of Mississippi. Her father, Prof. J. J. Lackey, was a brilliant and far-seeing man. Though he was an orphan, it was his good fortune to have been educated by Henry Ward Beecher, the great American Congregational minister who was noted for his oratorical powers and for his championing of antislavery and woman suffrage. No doubt, much of Reverend Beecher's ardor for women's rights was reflected in Professor Lackey's teaching and in his instruction of his daughter.
Mrs. Stapleton had the advantage of a college education at Lea in New Orleans, later a part of Sophie Newcomb; and at Hillman in Clinton, Mississippi.
In 1888 she married Dr. R. B. Stapleton of Hattiesburg, and she lived in that city for thirty-two years, enjoying a very full life as wife, mother of four children, and devoted worker in church and civic affairs. Later, she did mission work in the mountains schools of North Carolina, and finally returned to Missisippi where she maintained residence in Jackson until her death in 1940.
It was during her very busy years in Hattiesburg that Mrs. Stapleton made the first movement toward establishing the Missisippi P. T. A. She called a meeting for September 19, 1905, in her own home where the idea was suggested and discussed by the small group. Encouraged by Mrs. Frederic Schoff, then national president of the Congress of Mothers and P. T. A., the faitful few nurtured the idea until October, 1909, when the formal organization was effected at Lake Chautauqua in Crystal Springs. Mrs. Stapleton became the first president; and her sister, Miss Margaret Lackey, had the honor of serving as secretary of the organizational meeting.
The Chautauqua grounds, on lovely wooded hills encircling a large lake, were famous to people from the state and from far away. The tabernacle, fitting gracefully into the contour of the sloping land and forming a natural amphitheater, accommodated several thousands of people and had been the setting for sermons, oratorial events, and musical programs by the great of the land. But no more earnest band of people ever met within the latticed walls than those who pledged themselves to serve the children of the state of Mississippi.
For two consecutive years after the organizational meeting, the annual convention was held in the Crystal Springs tabernacle during the Chautauqua season. Some matters of vital concern to the group during this early period and their action concerning these matters are today affecting the state and its children. At Columbia the Industrial School is the direct result of efforts for legislative appropriations for such an institution. And through the continual urging of Mrs. Stapletion, "Better Babies" became much more important than the prized "Better Hogs" and "Better Cows" of the state.
In 1914 Mrs. Stapleton, having served as president of the young organization since its first meeting in 1909, gave her final report as high-ranking officer and exultantly announced that there were more than one hunded Parent Teacher Associations in the state and, further, declared that she had the great dream of having an organization in every school in Mississippi.
Perhaps the dream of this gifted and dedicated woman can best be summarized by stating the first objective of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers: "To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, church, and community." Without doubt, the life and aspirations of Bessie Lackey Stapleton have influenced the life of every school child in Mississippi.

Bursting with colour and home to the most spectacular marine life you will ever encounter, diving the SS Yongala is simply breathtaking and ranked as one best dive experiences in the world.
The SS Yongala is a 110 metres long and 28 metres deep shipwreck that sank off the coast of Ayr during a tropical cyclone in 1911. Today it is a well renowned wreck dive in the Great Barrier Reef and home to a captivating array of large fish and enormous structures of coral. Much of the ship is still intact making for a stunning sight and a remarkable experience.
As this is the only reef formation in the area, it attracts a much higher amount of marine life than most other dive sites. You will be overwhelmed by the diversity and size of the species and are likely to see eagle rays, turtles, giant Queensland gropers, schooling barracuda, sea snakes and much more. You might even be lucky enough to come across the majestic Humpback Whales during their migration season.
Regular dive trips operate to the SS Yongala site. Divers are required to have open water certification and a minimum number of logged dives.

While traveling around the globe, Katy Perry calls herself Jerri Blank, the name of a reformed junkie prostitute from cult TV show 'Strangers With Candy'.
Katy Perry has given away the alias she uses to protect her privacy while she travels the world - the singer uses the name of a reformed junkie prostitute from cult TV show "Strangers With Candy". The "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker admits she changes her name whenever she checks into hotels and has been calling herself Jerri Blank for the last two years - the name of the controversial character played by Amy Sedaris in the 1990s series.
But Perry admits she may have to think of a new alias now she has given away her secret. She tells Britain's The Sun, "I'll give you my alias because I've been using this one for two years."
"C**p! I'm going to have to come up with a good one now to replace it! It's Jerri Blank from Strangers With Candy. She's hilarious, stupid. Maybe I'll follow her lead and end up back in school some time."

The Two Festivals
Talappoli and Bharani are the two main festivals conducted in the temple every year. The
former is a colorful pageant, full of merriment, with mainly the local people
participating while the Bharani festival is purely devotional and ritualistic, yet
attracting pilgrims from all over Kerala.Talappoli
starts on Makara Sankranti-the first of Makaram (December-January) and lasts 4 days. It is
a harvest festival coinciding with Pongal celebrated in Tamil Nadu and certain parts of
South India. As done elsewhere, here also on the day previous to Makara Sankranti, rubbish
and other unwanted materials are collected and burnt. Houses and courtyards are cleaned.
The temple premises are decorated and a large fair set up. A part of the rice from the
freshly harvested paddy is set apart as offering to the Goddess.

Startup combines loves of baseball, art
Erie lefty finding handmade ball designs an unlikely hit with fans
By Benjamin Hill / MiLB.com | September 3, 2014 10:00 AM ET
Will Startup, a left-handed pitcher in the Detroit Tigers organization, has been practicing his craft since 2005. His approach has evolved along the way, the result of learning from his mistakes and continually tweaking his methods.
While the above paragraph could apply to Startup's professional career, it also describes his endeavors as an artist. Over the last 10 seasons, Startup has produced 125 (and counting) pieces of what could be literally described as "baseball art." Official game balls are his canvas, mechanical pencils and gel pens the tools of his trade. While on the mound, the Erie SeaWolves' southpaw is concerned with painting the corners. Off of it -- while on the road and in the clubhouse -- he just wants to paint.
I caught up with Startup, 30, during my recent visit to Erie's Jerry Uht Park. Incidentally, this was the first time I talked to him since he won 2008's Moniker Madness contest, in which he was bestowed with having the best name in Minor League Baseball. During our conversation, he talked about the impetus of his baseball artwork, its evolution and what he hopes to accomplish as the years progress.
Startup, a native of Cartersville, Georgia, started drawing at a very young age. He was and remains an avid doodler, carrying a journal with him that is filled with colorful sketches and sneaker prototypes (he one day hopes to be able to design shoes). His grandfather, an accomplished artist, was his first inspiration, but it was his wife, Lauren, who motivated him to decorate baseballs.
"This all started because I got the game ball one night, for pitching," said Startup, reflecting on his debut 2005 season. "My parents were there, because [I was pitching] in Rome, Georgia, and I grew up in Cartersville. I tossed it to my parents, like 'Hey, here you go. You guys can have the game ball.' And my Mom goes, 'Uh, don't you think your fiancé would want this?' I say, 'Oh! You're right! You're right!' So she gave it back to me. My fiancé wasn't with me at the time, so I drew a note on there, kind of a stick figure, and wound up giving it to her. And then one of the next outings I had, I got a game ball again. So I made another one and then what I started doing was, every road trip, I would get a baseball and come up with a theme. Do the baseball and then give it to my wife.
"When it came to [ball No. 12], I ended up doing a full panel of the "Last Supper" with Jesus and his 12 disciples," he continued. "From there, when people would say, 'Hey, is there any way you could make me a ball?' I would say, 'Well, okay, what are your interests? What do you like? What are your hobbies?' It was almost like a collage. I would put their interests on a ball. You might have a silhouette of two dogs, or if they liked the Detroit Tigers, I'd put their logo on it."
Startup has since painted balls for family, friends, teammates, front-office members, fans and visiting ballpark celebrities (wrestling superstar Sergeant Slaughter among them). During our conversation, he produced two recent examples: one was made as a thankyou to an Erie fan that bid for Startup's "Welcome Home Veterans" theme night camo jersey and then gifted it back to him. The other was made at the request of a SeaWolves bat boy, who was planning on giving it to his girlfriend.

Startup generally begins with a mechanical pencil, lightly outlining the design he wishes to employ. Then he'll transition to a ballpoint pen, further strengthening the outline. This is followed by multiple layers of additional detail and color, using a gel pen.
"You put one layer on there and it's like a primer," he said. "And then the more layers you put the shinier it gets. It's like paint. It seals itself… You learn so much from mistakes. Sometimes, by messing up, I have to learn different techniques."
Here, he points to a series of small raised dots atop the ball that will soon be presented to the bat boy's girlfriend.

"Like right here you can see some texture on these dots. I probably discovered that by mistake and thought, 'Oh, that kind of works as a texture.' So, failure has been a huge teaching tool."
In addition to learning through his mistakes, Startup has re-enrolled in college after an 8 1/2-year absence. He is now taking classes at the Savannah School of Art and Design, receiving an education that should be invaluable to his future artistic endeavors.
"There's a lot of technique that I need to learn, whether it's shading or bringing out highlights. And, hopefully, the more I receive from my education, the better my art will become," said Startup, who recently completed his first piece of home plate artwork, featuring the Erie SeaWolves' logo. "So I'm excited to see how it progresses, and right now I'm happy with the product that I'm making. It's fun for me to do. I always have a sense of pride when I'm able to finish something and give it to somebody."
Those interested in Startup's artwork are encouraged to follow him on Twitter -- @will_startup -- where he shares his recent creations and urges interested parties to get in touch.
"After I got on Twitter and took pictures of my work, all of a sudden people were contacting me. I didn't know who they were. They just wanted a piece of art," he said. "I don't have a website where you can just click and order a ball. I do things through email, and it's still a little bit old fashioned, but I haven't become so in-demand that I can't keep up with the pace."
No matter where his pitching career takes him, or when it finally ends, Startup's artistic explorations will continue unabated.
"It's fun for me. It's therapeutic and I get to express myself and hopefully make someone else happy," he said. "That's something I don't see stopping for any reason."
Ball 125. This was done for an anniversary gift. Shout out to my @erie_seawolves batboy! @MiLB #art pic.twitter.com/pQsuVVuYKf

Harlem Fights Back Over Columbia University Expansion
"...by next Monday the city's planning authority must decide whether or not to allow the redevelopment of 17 acres in west Harlem and let Columbia go ahead with a massive expansion of its campus that would cost it $7 billion over the next 25 years.
The proposal, fiercely resisted by many local residents who say it will encroach upon the black American nature of Harlem, would mark the third dramatic expansion in Columbia's history since it was founded with just eight students in 1754 in what is now downtown Manhattan."
"Columbia University...says it needs to expand again so that it can remain globally competitive. Bollinger points out that Columbia students, of whom there are now more than 2,000, enjoy less than half the space per head than their equivalents at rivals Harvard, Yale or Princeton."
"The university has earmarked a largely manufacturing area in west Harlem which it plans to develop into 'Manhattanville', complete with a new business centre, research laboratories, and improved facilities for students and professors.
Renzo Piano, co-designer of the Paris Pompidou centre and architect of the recently completed New York Times building in Manhattan, has produced the plans in sparkling glass and metal."
"A community board of local groups and businesses has already voted against Manhattanville by 32 to two votes. Residents have been angered by the threatened use of "eminent domain" to compulsorily purchase the homes of around 400 people living in the Manhattanville zone.
The hostility rests upon decades of mutual suspicions.
Columbia, with its mainly white and affluent student body, stands on top of a hill, rather like a medieval Italian town, overlooking the largely black and until recently overwhelmingly poor neighbourhood of central Harlem."

- This article is about the character before the Riot of King's Landing. For the title see High Septon (title).
- "May the Seven guide the Princess on her journey. May the Mother give her health. May the Crone give her wisdom. May the Warrior give her courage. May the Smith grant her strength..."
- ―The High Septon prays for Princess Myrcella
The High Septon is a background character in the first season and a minor one in the second. He is portrayed by an unidentified extra in "Baelor" and by David Verrey and in "The Old Gods and the New." "High Septon" is the title given to the head of the Faith of the Seven, the dominant religion of the Seven Kingdoms. It is a position of supreme authority within the church, but the holder has little power outside of the religion. This High Septon is killed in the riots of King's Landing. Simon Fisher-Becker was originally set to play him, but was replaced by David Verrey.
Season 1
The High Septon is present during the execution of Eddard Stark at the Great Sept of Baelor, standing between Grand Maester Pycelle and Varys. During his forced confession, Eddard Stark acknowledges the presence of the High Septon.[1]
Season 2
The High Septon appears along with the Royal family in the docks as Princess Myrcella Baratheon is shipped to Dorne. The High Septon offers prayers for Myrcella's future well-being in the name of the Seven while holding an incense thurible. On their way back to the Red Keep from the docks, the tensions of the suffering and starving smallfolk of King's Landing finally break, resulting in a massive riot that sweeps through the city. The High Septon is captured by an angry mob and is torn to pieces as one of his attackers holds up one of his arms.[2]
Following his death, a new High Septon is chosen.[3]

Behind the scenes
The High Septon was portrayed by an unidentified extra in the episode "Baelor".
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the High Septon is an obese man who dresses opulently. In the TV Series, he is walking back to the Red Keep, but in the books he is always carried in a litter or carriage. Just as in the TV series, he is torn to pieces during the riot of King's Landing. As Tyrion quips, "starving men take a dim view of priests too fat to walk". The royal jester, Moon Boy, describes him as "a pious man who worships the Seven so fervently that he eats a meal for each of them whenever he sits to table".
When a new High Septon assumes office, he renounces his given name and ever after becomes known simply as "the High Septon", so the name of this particular High Septon is never revealed. For the sake of differentiating one from another, he is usually referred to by a descriptive term: this High Septon is usually referred to simply as "The Fat One".
In the books, the High Septon is also present at the execution of Ned Stark and was offended by it. The High Septon had been assured that Eddard Stark was going to be shown mercy, that is why the trial was held on the steps of the Great Sept of Baelor. He gives the speech that was given by Grand Maester Pycelle in the TV series.
While the fat High Septon is rather corrupt, even he is outraged that Joffrey has Ned Stark executed on the very steps of the Great Sept of Baelor, violating holy ground. Cersei lists this as one of the problems that Eddard Stark's execution has caused her.
The crown of this High Septon, which contains valuable crystals, is lost in the riot that kills him. Tyrion sends men out to look for it and they eventually discover that the pieces were broken up and sold. The Lannisters subsequently replace it with a much larger crown.

On this day we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty.
"In October, 1886, there was unveiled on Bedloe's Island, New York harbor, a statue of 'Liberty Enlightening the World.' It was designed by M. Bartholdi and paid for by the contributions of 100,000 citizens of France, a country which had recently regained a republican form of government. The pedestal was built with money raised in the United States. This statue renewed the ancient feeling of gratitude to France, the oldest friend of our Republic."
--History of the United States for Catholic Schools, by Charles Hallan McCarthy, American Book Company, 1919, page 428.
In 1958, Treasure Chest ran a story about the Statue of Liberty, showing Bartholdi as a beginning sculptor, as a soldier in the Franco-Prussian war, and as the mature artist at work on his greatest creation.
"On October 28, 1886, fifteen years after Frederic Bartholdi had conceived the idea, and after five years of work on the statue, he saw her unveiled by President Grover Cleveland.
"With torch lifted high, Lady Liberty's enormous eyes looked down upon hundred of boats filled with cheering people, as firecrackers saluted her and a sea of French and American flags waved to her -- these were her children. . ."
For recent scholarship on the Statue of Liberty, see Enlightening the World: The Creation of the Statue of Liberty, by Yasmin Sabina Khan, Cornell University Press, 2010. Notice the Book Description, the Editorial Reviews, and the Customer Reviews.
"'Such a work as this gift of one people to another has never yet been thought of, much less achieved,' wrote the New York Independent at the time of the statue's unveiling. The depth of feeling that caused the French people to partake in this exceptional enterprise was founded in a sense of pride in their involvement in the American Revolutionary War." Pages 6-7.
The chapter on "The Unveiling" gives a vivid picture of the dedication ceremony 125 years ago today.
Click here for "Lady Liberty Celebrating 125th," at the National Park Service site. The main ceremony will be from 10:00 - 12:00.
Click here for the Torch Cam, the five cameras mounted in the torch, donated by Earthcam, Inc.
"Several remarkable views will be just a touch of a mouse away. On clear days, three cameras will provide unobstructed panoramas and live views of the famed New York City skyline, along with a front row seat to watch views of the majestic Hudson River and ships in New York Harbor. And that's just looking out. The two remaining cameras provide truly unique views. One provides a ultra wide-angle interactive view of the famed golden torch; and the final camera looks downward."

Peter Stanford reviews Matt Kaplan's new book, an investigation into what's so intriguing about spooky, scary beasties of the night: Medusa's Gaze and Vampire's Bite: the Science of Monsters.
What he has grasped is that, however much the rational and sane majority airily dismiss tales of fire-breathing dragons, strange creatures from outer space or beasts that inhabit the depths, there is still buried in most of us that reflex that can't help, on a dark night, walking along a lonely country lane, wondering, "What if there's something out there?" And when we do, the collective cultural baggage of these tales of ghosts, ghouls and griffins is usually sufficient to make us put our hands over our eyes to block out what may just be lurking out there. But, then, we still peep.

You know that CNN will have Kathy Griffin back again though, no matter what she does.
47 Comments on "Kathy Griffin Simulates Oral Sex On Anderson Cooper"
I imagine the two of them acting like this together in real life – crazy, crass, fun!! Suspect alcohol was involved and Kathy just took it to the next level on screen – love it, as long as AC doesn't mind (which I doubt he does – he's trying not to laugh).
Come on, 'kissing the sardine'??! That's just funny stuff.
Also looooove that she's trying to see how far she can push CNN. Go Ka-thy; Go Ka-thy!
I watched this as it was happening and it was hilarious! If you find it offensive, turn the channel to one of the other NYE programs. It was funny watching Anderson squirm and yes, she is obnoxious, but she was just being her (they keep hiring her!!). C'mon! Anderson has to always be so proper on screen, this was a welcome change.
What I was offended by: Jenny McCarthy's new face and the fact that they muted the Sushi drag queen when he tried to congratulate Anderson on coming out. Boo!!
I didn't watch the vid yet, but he doesn't look mad! lol
I'm no prig either, but I despise her and I think she is a disgusting person for making fun of people who self-inflict injuries and suffer with depression, etc. It's not just for "emo" kids. It is a real problem, and most times not so much a cry for attention as it is a way of punishing yourself because you feel like you don't deserve to live…
tip of the box to you Mango!
Love her. She get's a lifetime pass from me.
@ __-__=__ Kathy doesn't drink. Ever. Her mother, however, drinks wine by the box.
I use to like Kathy when she did My Life on the D List, but now she's just annoying. Oh and I almost jumped through the tv when she tried to put her mouth on my boo too!
What Smash (and several others) said. They are BFFs. Does anyone watching them NOT know she does stuff like this every year? It's not like it was prime family viewing time (it's cable anyway so even if it was…). They clearly make each other laugh.
Also thought it was funny. I suspect alcohol was involved.
Hero of the stupid.
Derivative. (Um, starting? to look like Joan Rivers. Please. Her entire act is based on Joan)
Sexless. despite talking about sex constantly.
Not entertaining in any way.
A mean old bitch who hides behind a pose of pitiful desperation. I guess she makes other pitiful desperate bitches and creeps feel better about themselves. Great.
I thought she got some work right after the first season of her talk show ended–her eyes got much pointy-er and her cheekbones look different.
I usually love Kathy but she didn't seem to have much material ready this time and the little she did have wore thin pretty quick. She seemed a little off to me.
At this point with Anderson showing he's as into the cheesy as she is on his daytime talk show, her trying to embarrass him isn't as funny –you know it's their schtick now and he is prepared for it.
I thought it was funny as hell, but she needs to know when to stop. It went on too long. She talks so fast and says so many funny things in a low voice I have to really pay attention to her. I'd rather watch these two than Ryan Seacrest and Jenny McCarthy any day.
I was embarrassed for him as well. There's edgy but then there's stupid, she pulled the joke into the stupid zone.
She got what she wanted out of it, everyone's talking about her…
Ah! Kathy is just like that, cracks me up every time with her over the top antics!
she is soooo desperate to be viewed as a sex object (or at the very least, "*&ckable" to men), and always has.
she needs new priorities, as this 'ish is O.L.D
I watch them every year and this is just part of her routine! She likes to push the envelope and specially push Anderson's buttons which is usually funny.
I think Kathy is hilarious. /endofstory
I wonder if she would have done this if Coop was straight?
I follow Anderson on Twitter and he LOVES Kathy. They're like BFF. Yeah, she makes him super uncomfortable sometimes but he knows that's just how she is. Anyway, I get the impression Anderson is a LOT less uptight when not on camera.
I watched and loved it. Kathy always comes up with something outrageous, that's why she's there. For Anderson, it humanizes him, which definitely helps. It is funny to watch him anticipate Kathy. He gets better at it every year. They are an odd couple, but it works.
I enjoyed that.
lol. I love Kathy. She's very honest in that she loves to push the envelope to almost getting fired and SHE LOVES PRESS. The more people complain the more giddy she is.
the controversy just thrills her. At least she's up front with it. There's no hiding that. While sometimes she's cheezy, I also think she's hilarious. I mean, its a joke. And what little kids are still up near 1 am watching cnn? No harm, no foul.
If I knew Anderson wasn't in a long-term relationship it would be funnier, but Kathy seems to get away with stuff other comedians can't. She's so spontaneous it's hard to be mad at her.
She fascinates me in that she has taken herself from sort of average-looking to pretty glam.
Its all show business folks, its all show business.
Yeah she is crazy, but I expect nothing less from her. It was inappropriate for TV but they are good friends IRL, this happened way after most people have already turned the show off. It's just a little scandal is all, no big d.
I love her she openly admits to doing anything she can to push CNN's buttons and get them to fire her and they won't. It's funny!
Syko- I laughed my ass off.
It's kathy griffin being kathy griffin. They are friends. There are many other stations to watch the ball drop if you find her to be crass.
Am I the only one who finds this funny? By the way, Michael K claims to have pulled some "Freaky Friday shit" and taken over Kathy's body to give him a faux bj.
Good idea about sending email to CNN…I will too. Kathy is starting to look like Joan Rivers…Anderson knows this crap happens with her and he still agrees to it. Must be lotsa money…
@SingBlue I'm terrified to check his blog. I might hear that blood curdling scream through my laptop. "Not MAHHH BOOOOO!!!"
This happened well after midnight almost 45 minutes after 12 actually. I watched parts of it because I love mah bou Anderson. They are close friends in real life, have been doing the New Year's Eve show for 6 years and yes she is over the top. Like she acts every year. Big deal.
@Chop chop – you are so right with the harassment. If the roles were reversed we would be reading a different story this morning … I just sent a quick email to CNN about this behaviour.
Me either. My friend got pissed off at me because I didn't want to go with her to see Kathy's stand up when she came to my city.
Isn't that sexual harassment? Seriously, can you imagine if a man on television continually groped and put his mouth on his unwilling female co-worker's vagina??
And holy shit HER FACE. She was homely before all the surgery but man she's off the charts at this point. Yikes.
You'd think Anderson would put a stop to this crap. This doesn't exactly add to his reputation as a serious journalist.
Fucking attention whore … dont fuck with my Anderson. And to do this on national tv … shame. I dont get her appeal either … she is just a shock-value kind-of-a-person. She looks like a troll too.
I'm with Phoenix – I saw it, and I think she went too far this time.
I actually felt really uncomfortable for Anderson. I was embarrassed for him.
She is irritating.
And somewhere Michael K throws the TV out of the window…
I was only halfway watching them in the few minutes leading to midnight so I missed THAT. And I'm glad of it.
She's pushed the envelope with him on national TV before, but that was in a category by itself. I think it's time for CNN to retire her, and I'm no prude by any means.
Why do people think she is all that? I don't get her appeal.
New face Kathy?
Oh, Kathy!!!

Rick Ross on Prime One Twelve and Tilapia: The Bon Appetit Interview
Rick Ross loves Prime One Twelve's lobster bisque ... for breakfast.
Mackenzie Stroh/Bon Appetit
No, you don't need new glasses, and you're not coming down from a particularly weird foie-gras-induced high. Bon Appétit magazine has published an interview with rapper Rick Ross.
In it, our fellow Miamian shares his thoughts on restaurants, dining in transit, and what's in his fridge (rosé wine and everything else that can fit).
Better yet, he shares his favorite recipe for tilapia and cheese on the
grill. According to the rap star and King of Diamonds aficionado, "take
the aluminum foil and put a nice piece of tilapia on it,
season it good, then put a bundle of broccoli and two or three slices
of cheese over it. Fold it up and sit it on the grill. Voilà!"
In the interview Ross, starts out as the typical playah
-- talking about how he orders three entrées at Prime One Twelve, saving the
lobster bisque for breakfast leftovers. But he quickly comes down to his earthly Mississippi and Carol City roots by showing his love for ramen
noodles, Rice-a-Roni, and chicken from Wingstop (Ross owns one in
In the end, the man named MTV's "Hottest MC in the Game"
gives us words to live by. Asked about what to eat on a plane,
Ross replies, "You keep it light. You don't want to use those little
bathrooms." Hmm, maybe those snakes on a plane are the plumbing type.
Here's a Rick Ross food-related parody (language warning if you're at work):

 I'm having trouble duplicating this :( When I run it exactly the same way here, it comes up, and works without
 issues, I can delete files in /root, and navigate elsewhere without issue.

 Are you doing anything initially which I can try to duplicate this error?

====================================
RESPONSE:
====================================

I have tested this repeatedly with the same result on two different computers:

[(1) Desktop=HP Vectra VL420 P4 w/ 1.6 GHz, 1 Gb RAM, w/ Nvidia Vanta video using "nv" driver and
 (2) Laptop=Acer Travelmate 4101 P4 Centrino M w/ 1.5 GHz, 2 Gb RAM, Intel 82855 video using "intel" driver.

In each case I have started with a fresh reboot and attempted this as the first program selected.Ā The display window is always a blank file list window and the following error message always appears against a rose colored background at the bottom of the window:

"Could not start process?? Cannot talk to klauncher.? The name org.ked.klauncher was not provided by and .service files."

What is similar is that each of these two computers were upgraded with RC2 over RC1.Ā Perhaps I should do a fresh install of RC2 and see if that makes a difference?

Otherwise, do you have any suggestions for what information I can send you?

P. Diddy is looking for a new personal assistant and using social networking site MySpace to find one.
Want to be the personal assistant of a famous celebrity? Stop dreaming for P. Diddy is going to make it possible for you. The hip hop mogul is looking for a new personal assistant (PA) and you can win the chance to be one by entering auditions on his designated YouTube page.
Decided to recruit himself a new PA after being left by longterm girlfriend Kim Porter, Diddy posted a one-minute clip on MySpace, showing him sits at his desk in his New York City office and encourages fans to apply for the gig online.
Instead of submitting paper resumes, Diddy asks applicants to record a three minutes-or shorter video telling him why they would be good at the job. "It's a new age, a new time, a new era. Forget coming into the office and having a meeting with me and being nervous," so he explained on why he chose this method to recruit a new assistant.
Diddy said on his message, "You know I'm the best and I like working with the best", whereas he also warned applicants that he would keep them up late and would shout at whoever gets the job, asking "What better job than to have me scream at you, go crazy, keep you up late hours, have you sleep deprived?"
So, what are you waiting for? Just give it a go and good luck.

Highlights of the $447 billion Democratic jobs bill.
Federal spending ($175 billion) including:
— $50 billion for highways, transit, rail and aviation improvements.
— $54 billion for unemployment benefits and job training.
— $35 billion for local governments to hire and retain teachers, police and firefighters.
— $30 billion for school construction.
Tax Cuts ($272 billion):
— Extend and expand a payroll tax cut for workers that is scheduled to expire at the end of the year. For 2012, the legislation would reduce Social Security taxes paid by workers to 3.1 percent of their wages. Cost: $175 billion.
— Cut in half — to 3.1 percent — the Social Security taxes paid by businesses on the first $5 million of their payroll in 2012. Exempt companies that increase their payroll in 2012 — through new hires or pay raises — from paying Social Security taxes on the increased payroll, with a cap of $50 million. Total cost: $65 billion.
— Give a tax credit of up to $4,000 for hiring workers who have been unemployed more than six months. Cost: $8 billion.
— Provide a tax credit of up to $5,600 for hiring military veterans who have been out of work more than six months.
— Give a tax credit of up to $9,600 for hiring military veterans with service-related disabilities who have been out of work more than six months.
— Extend tax provisions that enable companies to more quickly write off the cost of new equipment, saving companies an estimated $5 billion.
Tax increase:
— A new 5.6 percent tax on annual income above $1 million, beginning in 2013. The tax would be applied to wages and investment income. In 2013, an estimated 392,000 U.S. households would see their taxes increase by an average of $110,500. Over a next decade, the tax increase would raise about $453 billion.

Why 'Self-Helps' Don't Help (Part 2)
Review In yesterday's post, I decided to expose the "psychic nature" of Self-Helps. In other words, I expressed reasons why Self-Helps don't work. Today, I want to give specific examples. I'd like to compare real life situations to Self-Help genres. Why 'Self-Helps' Don't Help Relationships Let's start with the numero uno, grand champion of failing Self-Helps. First thing to note in Amazon's genre filter: Relationship books aren't even listed under Self-Help. They're hidden. The smart people at Amazon know that if you're looking for a novel about being a better…Read More

Twenty-year music industry veteran and Grammy Award winning producer, Randy Jackson started out at the young age of 13 playing bass guitar and got his big break when he joined the band Journey. As a prolific musician and producer, Randy also spent eight years, as the Vice President of A&R at Columbia Records followed by four years as Senior Vice President of A&R at MCA Records. However, it was AMERICAN IDOL that propelled Jackson into public consciousness. The show has proved to be a massive hit for FOX and has become a pop culture phenomenon around the world.
Randy has expanded into TV production, setting up his Dream Merchant 21 Entertainment, which launched MTV's hit series RANDY JACKSON PRESENTS: AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW which The Los Angeles Times proclaimed "perhaps the greatest reality television show of all time" and TV Guide said "That's how you should do a dance show." The series is embarking on its 7th season on MTV, and is enjoying record ratings.
As a result of his success as a television producer Randy has been included for the past three years in The Hollywood Reporter's Annual "Reality Power List."
While working on over one thousand gold and multi-platinum albums, which have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, Randy's amazing talent, vast studio knowledge, performing, touring and record company expertise, have made him one of today's highly coveted music industry experts. He continues to manage the careers of rising talent such as the critically acclaimed singer Van Hunt and the band Paper Tongues. In 2008, Jackson started his own record label under DreamMerchant 21. As if guiding the careers of musicians was not enough, Randy is managing Chef Lorena Garcia who appears on "America's Next Great Restaurant" as well as magician Joshua Jay.
Randy has recorded, toured, performed and produced records for Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, *NSYNC, Madonna, Elton John, Destiny's Child, Joss Stone, Travis Tritt, Van Hunt and many, many more.
Jackson launched two radio countdown shows for the Westwood One radio Network "Randy Jackson's Hit List," which can be heard on over 100 stations nationwide.
Randy has also jumped in the literary world writing two books: "What's Up Dawg? How to Become a Superstar In The Music Business" and "Body With Soul: Steady Your Sugar, Cut Your Cholesterol, and Get a Jump on Your Best Health."
In addition, Jackson is involved with numerous charitable organizations including becoming a U.S Ambassador for Save the Children. Other charities Jackson is involved with include: The Gibson Foundation, The Lili Claire Foundation, The Ronald McDonald House and NARAS Music for Schools. Jackson has also assisted in worldwide relief efforts through the multi-million dollar fundraiser IDOL GIVES BACK. Randy traveled back to his home state of Louisiana, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Most recently Jackson was involved with the re-recording of "We are the World" to help benefit the relief efforts in Haiti.
Randy resides with his wife and children in Los Angeles.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/9/2012 (1766 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Tim Burke is ready to put a heavy load on quarterback Buck Pierce, who is getting his first start since he was injured July 13, but Burke was quick to point out the rest of the team must share in shouldering the burden.
With Pierce back in the football club's lineup after missing eight games, the Bombers (2-9) will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4-7) Friday night at 7 at Canad Inns Stadium when the team will be looking for Pierce to lead the offence to the end zone for the first time in four games. The most discussed Bombers offensive statistic going into Friday's tilt is that without Pierce, and with Joey Elliott, Alex Brink and Justin Goltz steering the offence, the ship has not sailed. The offence has gone 13 quarters without recording a touchdown.
"The thing I told the offence was Buck is going to back, that's really positive, we're all happy with that, it instills some confidence in the offence. But we all have to do our jobs," Burke said after Thursday's walk-through at Canad Inns Stadium. "He can't win the game if he's laying on his back on the turf. He can't win the game if he's got to run for his life all the time. We can't win the game if he throws the ball to us, and we drop the ball. We've got to catch it, we've got to turn it up-field and we can't turn it over. Same thing with the running backs. He's going to hand it off to you, you've got to hold onto that football and gain some yards. It's up to the whole offence to pick their game up this week and help Buck out."
When Pierce is out of the lineup this season, the Bombers are 2-6.
Pierce said it's tough to call teammates out when he hasn't been playing but said he'll have no problem doing that Friday night.
"I'll be in their face if I see something that I think is detrimental to the club and the organization," Pierce said. "I see most of the guys out there playing very, very hard. Playing like they want to win. They understand the situation. We're not that oblivious to what's going on outside our locker room. We're a lot more aware of it now. Guys need to grow up, guys need to understand about repercussions."
Burke said Pierce may have some "rust" from not playing but he doesn't expect it to be a factor.
"When we get back into the game and see him play, we'll all have forgotten how quick a release he has," Burke said. "He does have stronger arm. In that respect, the ball is going to get to the receiver a little bit quicker. All the good things he brings will overcome some of the rust that he has."

A CLUB helping people with learning disabilities make friends in the community has said thank you to people who have offered it support.
The Friendship Club, which helps adults with learning difficulties go out and enjoy new experiences, held an awards night to recognise those who have gone above and beyond to help the organisation.
The ceremony took place at the New Vic in Weymouth and was followed by a disco.
The Friendship Club is part of People First Dorset and has been chosen by Mayor of Weymouth and Portland Kate Wheller as her mayoral charity.
It arranges events and other ways to help people with learning disabilities meet new people and enjoy other things most of us take for granted.
Supporters, volunteers, members and their families came together to enjoy the awards night.
Parent Liz Hardiman described it as a 'lovely, happy and rewarding evening' with 'so much joy in the room'.
She added: "I'm so proud of my son and all his friends."
Laura Kerr, pictured above, who runs the club, said: "We felt it was important to publicly acknowledge some of our incredible volunteers and thank them.
"The club would not happen without their support and we wanted to show our appreciation for all their time, hard work and loyalty."
The awards were giving out to volunteers who have consistently supported the Friendship Club events as well as venues that have given support and even the printers who have been supportive of the club.
There was also recognition for members and friends who have raised vital funds for the group.
Laura said: "There are many others who have given the club support but we had to narrow it down, of only for time constraints.
"On this occasion we have focused on those who have consistently given support or gone over and above to raise money recently.
"We hope to do another one next year to encourage more people to fundraise and win an award so if we have forgotten anyone this time please let us know so we can be sure to thank you next time."
For more information about the club contact Laura on 07970 240555 or email laura@dorsetpeople first.co.uk

Ever since the French retail giant Sephora opened its new flagship in Toronto's Eaton Centre on Nov. 20, local beauty mavens have had an extra 3,700 square feet in which to indulge their fancies. Located across the hall from the store's previous location, it offers a slew of flashy new features, including an extensive lash bar, eight tricked-out nail stations and a cutting-edge fragrance playground dubbed the Sensorium.
"We're excited to reveal our latest and greatest in this new location," Lori Castagna, Sephora Canada's vice-president of merchandising and marketing, enthuses, noting that the company opened its first Canadian store at the Eaton Centre in 2004.
Of the new Toronto outlet's many offerings, the sci-fi-esque Sensorium, which features tablet computers and automated fragrance-spritzing flowers, is among the obvious highlights; here, customers choose fragrances based on their emotional and aesthetic responses to scents rather than consulting traditional note charts.
Visitors to the new store will also find a fully stocked lash bar offering opulent designs from Shu Uemura and Make Up For Ever. Demo lashes are provided on wands, which customers can hold up to their eyes to "try on" looks. Sephora employees are also on hand to apply lashes once they have been purchased.
Throughout the store, shelves are weighted with a wide range of hard-to-find brands, including Amore Pacific, Atelier Cologne, Nude, Ciaté, Nails Inc. and Illamasqua. Make Up For Ever, which has a devoted cult following, has taken up residence in a store-within-the-store.
At the nail studio – sure to become a locus for the manicure– obsessed – candy-coloured displays show off the latest polishes and accessories. There are also eight Ready Set Polish stations, each displaying a nail trend and step-by-step directions on how to get the looks.
Attractions aside, Sephora's Toronto expansion – the latest in a spate of bold operational strokes by both foreign and Canadian style brands – is yet another sign of confidence in this country's retail scene. "Our Canadian clients," Castagna says, "are blessed with both American and European influences and know what's happening in the beauty arena. They definitely know what they're looking for when they come into our stores."Report Typo/Error

Book Synopsis: For the 28th Chapter of the Frank Book, Editor-In-Chief Frank Green went on an adventure to the land of fun, sun, and Tony Montana. But there's much more to this cultural hub than just the clubs of South Beach, Elian Gonzalez, and the country's most advantageous bankruptcy laws. Frank explored this Art Deco metropolis—tucked snugly in between the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean—in hopes of getting a better understanding of what makes this city the true "Gateway to the Americas."
In this chapter we try our hand at the local sports of shuffleboard and Jai Lai, bounce to the ass-shaking thump of Miami Booty Bass, investigate the environmental controversies surrounding the delicate Everglades, and explore the cultural legacies of unique regions such as Stiltsville and Liberty City that earn Miami the "cultural mixing pot" tag. So pack your sunscreen and binoculars and climb up into the donk, 'cause Frank151 is taking you to the beach.

text: Like the title of this thread states, I'd like to know if it is possible to install tiger onto a blueberry 300Mhz G3, 40GB clamshell over ethernet. I don't have an XServe that I can use netboot, but I have modified my Tiger DVD so that it will install on the iBook. My only limitation is that I don't have firewire or a DVD drive built in. I was wondering, is there any way to do this without having a server? Is it possible to create a network bootable drive from a non-server computer such as my macbook? I also have read that these iBooks are capable of USB boot and have an external, self-powered USB DVD drive if that would work. I bought this clamshell on ebay and am waiting for it to arrive hopefully tomorrow and wanted to plot out how to get tiger on the thing before it arrives so I can get it ready in time for Christmas. Thank you for taking the time to read this long, most likely boring thread!

Orbital Wine Decanter
These wine decanters remind me of Weebles (wobble but they don't fall over) for grown-ups! The stainless steel bases add a little modern flair and helps these guys fit right in with the rest of my barware.
My friend has this and it's pretty nifty. Coming in an assortment of colors, it will uncap your beer and store the cap within itself for easy clean up
Great all in one device. If you enjoy fine wines and you usually do not finish the whole bottle this is perfect. This incorporates a decanter and a wine stop all in one.Added 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com
