Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Wooster, Roland Peter URN etd-34131420119653540 Title Optimizing Response Time, Rather than Hit Rates, of WWW Proxy Caches Degree Master of Science Department Computer Science Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Fox, Edward Alan Midkiff, Scott F. Abrams, Marc Committee Chair Keywords
- none
Date of Defense 1996-12-19 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis thesis investigates the possibility of improving World Wide Web (WWW) proxy cache performance. Most published research on proxy caches is concerned only with improving the cache hit rate. Improving only the hit rate, however, ignores the actual retrieval times experienced by WWW browser users. This research investigates removal algorithms that consider the time to download a file as a factor.
Our experiments show that a removal algorithm that minimizes only the download time yields poor results. However, a new algorithm is investigated that does provide improved performance over common removal algorithms using three factors --- the speed at which a file is downloaded, the size of the file, and the number of references to the file (the number of hits).
Experiments are conducted with a modified version of the Harvest Cache which has been made available on the Internet from the Virginia Tech Network Research Group's (VT-NRG) home page. WWW traffic from the ".edu" domain is used in all of the experiments. Five different removal algorithms are compared: least recently used, least frequently used, document size, and two new algorithms. The results indicate that the new three factor algorithm reduces the average latency experienced by users.

Show Highlights 8/20/09
Another day…another wrinkle in health care reform. Andrew Colton is in for Gordon as we explore the latest strategy for getting a health bill passed plus, Apple may be actually helping PC's…and not even know it, we travel to a place where the grass really is greener, and food makers are loading us up with tastier fiber…with a few inevitable "side effects".
For Thursday August 20, 2009…
4:28 – The chess game continues as a new strategy is revealed by Democrats in the hopes of getting major health care legislation passed…split it up!
5:40- Most agree the economy is looking up, and most agree that the stimulus bills had something to do with that. So, why do Americans dislike the idea of economic stimulus more now than they did when the bills were passed? WSJ's David Wessel has some answers.
8:46 – "Cash for Clunkers" may be winding down soon with mixed opinions on its results. Dealers liked the increased traffic but, (surprise) are becoming increasingly frustrated at the snail's pace of the arrival of their reimbursement checks from Uncle Sam.
13:07- Outplacement firms, as you might imagine, have seen a surge in business during the recession. But, how do you know they're really working for you, and not just tossing some cookie-cutter advice your way? WSJ's Joann Lublin fills us in.
19:43- We've all had a chuckle or two at PC's expense watching those TV ads, but did you know that Apple might just be helping to spur on the re-invention of the PC itself? Our tech guru Rob Enderle says that Microsoft is taking a page or two from the Apple playbook. Self-professed "Applefile" Andrew, for one, isn't buying it.
27:42 – The good news…thanks to food companies, fiber is tastier than ever. The bad news…your co-workers may flee from you at lightening speed! The good, bad, and ugly from WSJ's Ilan Brat.
31:29- WSJ's Wendy Bounds takes a break from laboring in her garden this summer to visit the place where the grass is always green, and "knock down time" has nothing to do with boxing.
That about wraps it up for today. Make sure you join our ever-growing legion of followers on Twitter to get instant tweets when new podcasts and blogs are posted. We'd also love to have you as a fan of the show on Facebook. And, you can always email your questions and comments to Gordon and Gina at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks for listening!

Legislation Affecting Traffic And Motor Vehicle Laws

The ability of Australian banks to withstand big financial shocks will be put to the test by the International Monetary Fund as part of an international early warning system to detect threats to the world economy.
The IMF has announced that Australia will be one of 18 countries – including France, Japan, Spain, Brazil and Argentina – that it will target this year to identify and head off threats to global financial systems.
The IMF will test the strength of financial institutions, the quality of market supervision and the ability of governments and regulators to respond effectively to a crisis.
The move comes amid increased local and international scrutiny of financial systems amid fears that Europe's sovereign debt crisis could cause a repeat of the 2008 breakdown of global markets.
The Australia Prudential Regulation Authority ordered urgent tests late last year of the ability of the banks to withstand a sharp rise in unemployment, a collapse in the property market and recession.
Earlier this month, the Swiss-based Basel Committee, charged with rewriting bank rules following the financial crisis, indicated that it would bypass national regulators and determine for itself whether institutions would abide by strict new capital and liquidity rules.
The IMF said Australia had been included among the first batch of countries to face increased scrutiny because of its large and globally interconnected financial sector.
IMF monetary and capital markets assistant director Dimitri Demekas said efforts to cope with the shock to funding markets from the Lehman Brothers collapse had provided important lessons. "Countries need a protocol of co-operation, data and information exchange, as well as a game plan if a crisis occurs, and a key part of our assessment is to try and make sure that governments have the essential ingredients," he said.
The IMF announcement came amid warnings that state governments could struggle to raise the billions of dollars needed to fund capital works and operating costs because of weakening demand for their bonds.
As the Queensland Treasury Corporation prepares to update details of its program to issue about $30 billion in bonds over the next four years, economists warned that bloated local markets may find it difficult to absorb the amount of state debt likely to be issued this year. This would potentially force up funding costs.
Deutsche Bank strategist David Plank said that Canberra might have to intervene and renew the guarantee it provided for state debt during the financial crisis, if the states struggled to find buyers for their bonds.
Domestic banks had substantially increased their purchases of state government bonds in the last three years – to the extent that last year they were virtually the only net buyers in the market, buying more than 85 per cent of the bonds issued in the first six months of 2011.
The banks were likely to be "full up" on state government bonds at some time this year, Mr Plank said, particularly because the amount they had been lending had slowed while deposits had grown. "At some point they will be full, and when issuance steps up in the next month or two, that will be a real test for the market."
If the banks did not buy many bonds, the states would have to attract offshore investors, which probably meant they would have to increase the yield, Mr Plank said.
National Australia Bank economist Peter Jolly said international demand for Commonwealth bonds was strong. Foreigners bought $23 billion worth in the September quarter, taking offshore ownership to a record of over 80 per cent. By contrast, the market for state government bonds had become "quite dysfunctional", he said, and they might need to become cheaper to attract buyers.

Boarding Schools
American boarding schools are among the many alternative solutions MyTroubledTeen.com recommends parents of troubled teens. These schools are privately owned facilities that help teens with a broad range of problem behavior. Utilizing our resources, parents can find an alternative school to meet the particular needs of their teen including low self-esteem, anger management, disrespect and defiance of authority figures. Boys and girls boarding schools provide individual attention with a good balance of scholastic and emotional support. Our directory also includes summer programs for troubled teens, designed to give them a chance to escape their peer environment and increase their academic performance. This allows them to return to school with improved outlooks about themselves and their future.
Removing teens from the environment where their troubling behavior originated is the first step. At girls and boys boarding schools for troubled teens, experienced counselors can help them realize the foolish and self-destructive nature of their behavior. These counselors, together with caring parents, are able to direct them away from their old attitudes and behaviors, build their confidence and ensure their ability to succeed in their long-term goals. All of this will not happen overnight, but these boarding schools for troubled kids have proven success rates. Many alternative schools also offer effective parental training and support. Our goal at MyTroubledTeen.com is to create the most comprehensive troubled teen resource anywhere.
Boarding Schools for Troubled Youth
There are some kids that can never thrive in a traditional learning environment. Troubled youth, at risk youth, youth struggling from drugs and alcohol, youth struggling from learning difficulties, kids with behavioral, mental and emotional issues. These are the kind of children that requires more than the standardized mode of instruction offered by traditional schools, in order to learn their lessons.
Fact is, teachers and instructors in traditional schools simply do not have the luxury of time and resources needed to go the extra mile to help one student who is having a little more difficultly in grasping his or her lessons, especially since they have to attend to the greater interest of the entire class, which typically are as large as 30 students in a class.
Furthermore, the way our traditional educational system is designed is towards providing education to the majority of students who are generally average academically. The traditional curriculum is designed to teach and challenge the wider category of students, calculated to induce students exert effort and use their mental faculties in meeting the demands of the coursework. What happens to the subset of troubled, struggling students who are having learning difficulties will be displays of poor performance on their assignments and exams? The ones who have inconsistently poor grades that affect his or her chances to matriculate to a good college, if he or she does graduates at all?
Boarding Schools designed for Troubled Teens
It is always a parent's dream that at some point, their children will be successful and have a long fruitful life. That is one reason why parents spare no expense to pay for the best education their money can buy.
For students who are at risk, troubled or struggling due to behavioral, emotional and mental issues, extra effort is required from them, their teachers and the parents to ensure they are learning their lessons sufficiently. That is why there are therapeutic boarding schools specifically for troubled youth.
Unlike traditional schools, boarding schools for troubled teenagers offer programs that are designed to help struggling and troubled kids. These programs feature very small class sizes, typically 1:5 student to teacher ratio or smaller, depending on the situation; this allows for highly individualized mode of instruction that accounts for the student's pace in learning and promotes mentoring approach that helps build close teacher-student relationship.
Also, boarding schools for troubled teens offer myriad of after school programs and extracurricular activities that are designed to enhance or to supplement learning and development, as well as open up positive avenues of interest for the students. For example, the reading club will help build interest in reading among teens, and the dance club will help those that need physical conditioning. Academic help programs, such as one on one tutoring sessions, are also available.
Choosing a boarding school for your troubled teen
In choosing a school for your troubled kid, make sure your choices are properly accredited by any of the major accrediting bodies. If not, chances are your choice has not been properly tested or has failed in quality assurance testing. Do not choose boarding schools without proper accreditation as some colleges and universities reject credits earned from boarding schools under unrecognized accreditation organizations.
You can always spot good boarding schools based on the wealth of information they have on their website. Good schools make it a point to provide a concise list of their faculty to be reviewed by parents of prospective students. That being said, it is not uncommon for good boarding schools to be known because of its faculty. In choosing a school, take time to browse the faculty section. You might not find anything of use there or you might find that one piece of information that will have an impact on your future decision making. There is a bit of comfort knowing that you are enrolling your troubled kid suffering from bi polar to a therapeutic residential school who also employs an in-house physician who has years of experience treating mood disorders in children. Whatever the case, you need to make sure that the school you are choosing employs not only certified teachers but also good ones who are emphatic to the child's circumstances. Also, it is critical that boarding schools have the knowledge, capability and resources to do the job. Core content areas should only be taught by qualified teachers.
Not all boarding schools can award a diploma. According to the Department of Education, school boards do not award diplomas to students who are not enrolled in boarding schools under their supervision. A majority of the accredited schools grant high school diplomas, and in most cases, your child needs to enroll in the program for at least a year to be awarded with one.

Great time for all the family on our 14N New Zealand cruise: Oosterdam Cruise Review by tmbhl_on_the_go
Overall Member Rating
Great time for all the family on our 14N New Zealand cruise
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
Days 1/2/3 Wednesday 19 -- Friday 21 December
Boarding was smooth and easy, we were onboard by lunchtime and soon enjoying the first of MANY meals courtesy of Holland America. Only snag was one of our 5 bags not making it to the stateroom. Eventually we found out that it had been quarantined as we were carrying "contraband" -- ie a travel iron. There were dozens of bags lined up for a similar offense. We had to leave the iron with them, and were able to collect it on the last day. I was very happy though that we were able to bring bottles of wine onboard More in our luggage, was nice to be able to have a glass in our room. The Oosterdam is a smaller ship than we've travelled on before with a capacity of 1900 passengers. On this sailing over 1400 are Aussies, which is also a very different experience. There's 300 Americans/Canadians and the rest a cross section of nationalities.
An early highlight was the trip out through the Sydney Heads. The kids couldn't understand why hubby and I were so excited about it, particularly when we had to forego dessert to be up on deck when we went through them. Through the whipping wind both made quick calls to our parents making the most of the last rays of mobile coverage as we left the Harbour.
15 & 17yo are having a great time at the Teens Club, our son hasn't got to bed till after 12.30am both nights (we only find out when he tells us in the morning, we're fast asleep by then!) Daughter calls it quits a bit earlier. They're enjoying playing all types of games and sharing travel stories with the other teens, many of whom are extremely well travelled.
12yo has not fared as well with kids club. She's in the 5-12 year group and being at the top end of the age range finds some of the activities not so interesting. We did laugh when she told us some of the kids were too "psycho/out there" -- and given those are terms occasionally applied to her behaviour, we thought they must have been really extreme! She has still been popping in there a few times each day to check it out, and then leaves once she gets bored. She's realised you can't turn back the clock, 7 is obviously the optimal age for ship kids club (the age she was on our American Carnival cruise, her perfect cruising measure). She was ecstatic though yesterday when she borrowed a dvd from the front desk (they have a huge collection, free to borrow which is great). She came in to tell me "this is the highlight of my cruise -- they asked me to sign a receipt. I signed a receipt!!!" In fact, she repeated it the rest of the afternoon, and thought she'd done such a good job of her signature that she should be famous and sign autographs on request.
Hubby has continued his favourite cruising pastime, playing Bridge with the oldies. Our son is desperate to find a pair they can play 500 with, but in lieu of that he's joined Dad for morning bridge sessions. Both their heads are spinning by the end of it with the intricacies of the game. The bridge players seem to be mainly Americans and hubby said they're disappointed that HAL don't hold bridge tournaments on this cruise, just announces bridge sessions at 10am and 2pm each day in the card room for people to make up their own groups and play. My main activity seems to be perfecting the art of the nap. The benefit of an inside cabin is that there's no sun peeking through to wake you up, so you can sleep at any time. I'm still sleeping fine at night, but on our first sea day I had 3 naps. The girls reckon the constant gentle rocking of the ship makes you dopey. Everytime I sat down to read I'd end up giving up and lying down to sleep. So far today has been only a single nap day, so hopefully I'll kick the habit soon. We have lost an hour each night to get us to NZ time ready for our arrival tomorrow. It's a good way to do it, a more gentle adjustment than in 1 hit.
Hubby and I have been good and gone to the gym each morning so far. He's been doing some exercise classes with our 15yo daughter and I do an hour on the treadmill.
After almost 2 days straight we're still surrounded by nothing but water. We're sitting in a lounge at the front of the ship looking out at grey blue seas and a smattering of tiny white tipped waves. After fairly constant cloud cover since departing, we now have mainly blue skies. The crew are telling us this is one of the smoothest Tasman Sea crossings they've had, hope we're as lucky on the New Year's return sailing.
Day 4 -- Saturday 22 December
Hubby, 15yo and I were up at 6am to head to the gym and watch our passage into Milford Sound. After 2 days walking on the treadmill looking at nothing but ocean, it was such a treat to be surrounded by craggy ranges, glistening waterfalls and snow capped peaks. It was actually not conducive to raising my heart rate, as I'd walk for 10mins then have to pause the machine and duck out to the decking in front of us to get some shots without glass in front of me. Coming into the Sound initially was disconcerting. We came into a large cove and for a few minutes it looked as if we were sailing straight for the rock face, and then eventually around the left a passage opened up where the ship could enter. The weather was unbelievable, Milford Sound is usually renowned for its grey skies and drizzle but we got the most beautiful blue sky and calm water, it was glorious. I gave up on the gym and went back to other kids out of bed, so we wandered the deck taking in more of the view.
A lady walked past me at lunch today and I glanced at her and thought she had hair like Pauline Hansen. Turns out she had pretty much everything like Pauline Hansen -- yes, our first bit of celebrity spotting onboard! (note for non-Aussie readers, she is a well known ex politician). The rest of the day was spent sailing round the south of the island and through some more Sounds, including Doubtful & Dusky. The clouds had come in by the afternoon, so we were lucky to have the blue skies for Milford in the morning. All were beautiful with plenty of photo opportunities, we had fun zipping around the ship to find the best vantage points, one of my favourites was lying on deck chairs at the very top front of the ship, where you could see both sides at once.
They've been advertising "family bingo" at Club Hal (kids club) this afternoon since we boarded and 12yo had been hanging out to play. It was fun and I did manage once to be first to stand up (with one to go), but no cries of "bingo" for any of us. There's half price internet for 2 hours this afternoon so I've logged on for the first time to send this. We plan to watch Lord of the Rings in the onboard cinema tonight, will be good preparation for our visit to "Hobbiton" next week. Tomorrow we'll finally get off the ship in Dunedin.
Day 5 -- Sunday 23 December - Dunedin (refer my port review for details of our trip on the Taieri Railway)
Had our usual fab dinner and watched an Aussie comedian Sam McCool for the main show tonight (apparently he's a "global success", would love to know how that's determined!) His best joke was about cricket -- "a game the English invented so they could not lose over 5 days". 12yo has got more into the Kids Club lately and was actually the last one home tonight. The late nights caught up with the older 2, and given that we dock at 7am tomorrow they were back by 9pm in readiness. It was quite funny to have big kids all tucked up in bed and 12yo not scoot in the door till 9.30pm. Something else that's caught up with 17yo today were his physical excesses at teens club. 2 nights ago they had a limbo competition (which he won) -- apparently he's quite a star at it, but is yet to give us a demo. Yesterday he was groaning at regular intervals about his sore limbo abs, which were then made even worse by his participation in a "planking" competition last night....you should have heard the moans escaping him today
Day 6 -- Monday 24 December - Christchurch/Akaroa (refer my port review for details)
Dinner tonight was our second formal night (although this one wasn't compulsory). We flew back in from the tender and changed in 10mins flat to make it to dinner (almost) on time. We were excited to have an English roast complete with Yorkshire pudding on the menu tonight, only to have hubby try the pudding first and say it was nowhere near as good as his Mum's.
Hubby & my treat tonight was a port & chocolate tasting session (cost $15pp), very yummy. At 11pm there was a "Sounds of Christmas concert" which featured choirs of various nationalities singing their own carols. The kids ditched us straight after dinner to head to kids/teens club and we've promised them their Christmas present tomorrow will be us not waking them up.
Day 7 -- Tuesday 25 December
Merry Christmas! We managed a Christmas sleep in till 7am. I enjoyed a few laps of the deck taking in the lovely views of "Cloudy Bay" right at the top of the South Island where we anchored for the day. Santa arrived onboard mid morning, they had filmed a video that was shown on the big screen while we waited in the theatre. They'd filmed he and the elves climbing down the ship's funnel, then using most of the facilities -- shooting hoops on the basketball court, eating in the restaurant, singing with the band, and our favourite -- having his beard set with hot rollers in the salon, it was quite entertaining. Then of course he actually arrived in the theatre and every child and eventually adults as well if they so desired lined up for a photo with him and received a gift.
Kids spent pretty much all day in Club Hal/Teens club. Hubby and I lazed around, I finished my second book for the trip on a lounge chair on the top deck this afternoon ...what a life. Tonight was our 3rd formal night, we had some more photos taken on our way to dinner. Dinner was delicious as usual, most had turkey but our favourite was the "Chocolate Mousse Snowman" for dessert. As hubby said "great meal, and I didn't peel, cook, serve or wash up any of it". The show tonight was Broadway Hits, was quite good but they don't seem to have the same wow factor as we've seen on bigger cruises.
Day 8 -- Wednesday 26 December - Wellington (refer my port review for details)
The show tonight was billed as part acrobat/part vaudeville "Mr Fish" from a guy who used to be in Cirque du Soleil. Hubby was keen to have a front row seat, so we got there early to secure one -- which is something I'll never do again. We'd manage to sit in his prime audience participation spot and during the evening he spurted water all over us, came down took my sandal, smelt it, licked it then balanced it on his nose (ugh!!!!), and for his finale, popped over to pick up our wine glasses and sprayed the contents over us -- definitely not our favourite night.
Day 9 -- Thursday 27 December - Napier(refer my port review for details)
We set sail by 2pm, which is a pretty short time in port, but it at least gives us a relaxing afternoon onboard before our final 3 full on port days.
The show tonight featured the Oosterdam Singers & Dancers in "Stage & Screen", enjoyable enough, but missing some of the wow factor I've seen on cruises with a larger dance company.
Day 10 -- Friday 28 December - Tauranga (refer my port review for details)
Day 11 -- Saturday 29 December - Auckland (refer my port review for details)
The sailaway from Auckland at 5pm was glorious. Hubby & 15yo went to the gym for an Ab class (such dedication), while I poured myself a glass of wine and went to deck 10 to enjoy the view.
We're really enjoying the cinema on board, only seats about 30 but has nice comfy seats and a decent sized screen. We've watched a couple of the Lord of the Rings films and tonight saw "The Cup". It's been on my to watch list for ages, so was pleased to finally see it. Was a bit sadder than I imagined, but a good story. We went straight from there to the late session of the main show, ventriloquist Patrick with his puppet Matilda (a feisty gal from Jamaica). I wasn't that excited at the thought (and was definitely not sitting anywhere near the front row!), but Hubby and girls were going so I joined them. Of course he turned out to be very good, we laughed a lot.
Day 12 -- Sunday 30 December
Our final port day was another 7am tendered start in the Bay of Islands. After such glorious weather in Auckland it was a shock to be back to rain. We'd hired a car again, this time from Rent-a-Dent firstname.lastname@example.com it was meant to be an Odyssey but it had apparently been in an accident so we had a replacement waiting for us. I wasn't too worried by the rain as our first stop was to explore the Kawiti glow worm caves a 40min drive from port. We arrived at the 8.30am opening time to see a sign on the front gate "Closed due to flooding" -- now that wasn't on the schedule! The rest of the day was to be visiting a few wineries and waterfalls, but the earliness of the hour and the driving rain wasn't conducive to either activity! So we pottered along the country roads up to Kerikeri, visited a very pricey chocolate factory and a few other shops, wandered round some markets in the drizzle and photographed NZ's oldest building "The Stone Store" from the car as it was too wet to get out!
Thankfully the rain did stop long enough for us to see Haruru Falls, New Zealand's famous horseshoe falls. The similarity to Niagara is in shape only, Haruru is like a bonsai copy of Niagara -- but they were still fun to see. The benefit of all the rain is that there was plenty of water flowing. We ended up then returning the hire car early and being back onboard in time for a late lunch and lazy afternoon of reading and relaxing.
I had thought that the benefit of being on a ship tour to the glow worm caves would at least be that they'd be informed it was closed, so you'd have time to organise something else, but apparently not. My 17yo son had friends from the Teens Club on the ships tour bus, they sat on the bus at the dock for an hour, supposedly waiting for a passenger who hadn't turned up. They eventually left, didn't go to the caves but just drove around the region. They were never told why they didn't go to the caves (which sounds odd to me!), but the kids didn't know they were closed for flooding until my son told them that night. Last he heard, their parents were chasing up with a ship excursion team for a refund on the tour.
After being somewhat down on the quality of the shows earlier, we were again impressed with tonight's performance. It was an Australian pianist, Paul Cincotto who played a great selection of pop and classics, really enjoyed it. Hubby and I finished the night watching Lord of the Rings -- the Return of the King in the cinema. Just as well Aragorn was worth the time investment as it meant we missed the chocolate dessert extravaganza late that night. The girls did check it out and assured me that while the chocolate fountains were good, the rest of the food wasn't that impressive (but perhaps they were just consoling me as I missed it!)
Day 13 -- Monday 31 December
We were well and truly ready for this sea day, made even better by getting an extra hours sleep as we started the adjustment back to Australian time. I had intended to watch the movie "South Solitary" but arrived just before the 11am session to a packed house. Next session wasn't till 4pm, so we went down to the front desk and asked if they could add another, which they did at 1.30pm. Only I went in to watch it (from our family that is), but I got lots of teasing from others sitting near me as first my 15yo came in with a huge slab of raspberry chocolate cake they'd ordered from room service for me to eat, then 20min later hubby pops in with a glass of wine for me...not since Gold Class has there been such a good way to watch a movie! Spent the rest of the day reading and writing, then started preening the girls for our last formal night. We'd bought a set of hot rollers for the trip so we played hairdresser together to get some curls happening.
There were fun Happy New Year hats, headbands, whistles and noisemakers on our table for dinner, which kicked off the party atmosphere. Too many choices of fantastic desserts, but we all settled on the New Year's special of berry mousse in a huge amount of chocolate casing. The show tonight was a magician. His grand finale didn't quite go to plan, he was onstage on a motorbike, then "disappeared" and reappeared in a side audience entrance and was meant to zoom along on his bike through the centre aisle and ride down to the stage. Unfortunately a lady in a wheelchair had taken up a position in the aisle which blocked his path, so he had to dump the bike and run along instead, not quite the grand entrance he'd planned.
The grand finale for the year was a party in the main showroom from 11pm. The music and atmosphere were fantastic. 12yo and her friend were dancing enthusiastically on stage, 17 & 15yo were on the dance floor with the teens, it was fun to be able to watch them all having a great time. I ordered a glass of champagne about 11.40pm just before they brought out trays of free ones. Not to be deterred I quickly downed that and hubby nabbed another 2 for us. We all yelled out the countdown, the captain came out to ring the ship's bell on stage at midnight, balloons and streamers were flying, just a brilliant time. It was so good I told hubby my new year's resolution is to have Christmas at home and be at sea each new year's!! We danced for another 30 or so minutes and left the kids to it. The girls weren't far behind us, when I peeked in just before 1am 17yo was still out partying. Just before falling asleep, hubby says "I'm very worried about your new year's resolution...."
Day 14 -- Tuesday 1 January 2013
Another extra hours sleep in, and now we're back on Aussie time. You could not get better timing to bring the new year in than that! Very sad that this is our last full day onboard, quite a few people booked the 24 day option and will continue from Sydney for 10 days round the South Pacific -- wouldn't that be nice?
They really pushed that at least one person per cabin should go to the Vista Lounge this morning for info on how to "transition from ship to shore tomorrow" . Turned out to be a waste of time, was pretty much a 30min spiel from Cruise Director Drew on how to be generous when filling in their survey sheet as it's such an important part of their measurement system.
12yo kids club had a talent show this afternoon, she and a few of the other girls performed a play and a couple of skits. We also went to another session with the magician, where he performed and explained how to do a few of his tricks, was very good. Spent the rest of the afternoon packing our bags, which had to be in the hallway by midnight. The final show was a variety performance featuring guitar player Bob Howe, Ventriloquist Matilda & Patrick and pianist Paul Cincotta.
Day 15 -- Wednesday 2 January 2013 -- DEPARTURE
Hubby and I wanted to see our entry into Sydney Heads so we committed the sacrilege of setting an alarm for 6am on our final day of holiday. It was lovely and peaceful wandering around the ship at that hour though and enjoying the view. We watched the sunrise as we were just in the harbour, then too quickly we were approaching Fort Denison. Hubby ran down to wake the kids, and we all watched as she squeezed under the bridge to berth at Darling Harbour.
We had an early breakfast in the buffet for what we thought would be our last waffles of the trip. We'd selected the later of the departure options (9.30am) and happily ended up with time to indulge our inner hobbit and squeeze in 2nd breakfast just before disembarking.
Some other random memories from our time;
Hubby has loved the chance to reconnect with US TV, in all its glory. He's been checking out a few of the gridiron games, and the ultra tacky ads in particular are a highlight for him.
12yo said the other day that when she gets home she'll have forgotten how to push her own chair in under the dinner table to sit down, as the waiter here always does it for her.
All in all, a simply wonderful holiday. Cruising is so relaxing and easy (especially the sea days), and has something for every age group. I'm really tempted with another cruise HAL is doing in Asia next January, will dive back into the research and budget calculations on our return. As first time HAL passengers we enjoyed their product. We've been on larger ships before and enjoy the bigger wow factor of those ships in both facilities and show performances, but I did love that there were no hassles getting off the ship with HAL. We have been forced with other lines to wait before ship excursions to get off the ship in other ports, but with HAL we were often in the first group ashore. Also loved that we were allowed to bring bottles of wine and soft drink onboard in any of the ports. They announce at each port that no food from the ship is allowed to be brought into NZ, but on our first port as we left the ship staff checking bags at the gangway said "cookies and muffins were fine" -- so each night we'd order choc chip cookies from room service to take onboard for morning tea, which helped with the budget when feeding ever hungry teens!
HAL also offer a program for 18-25 year olds, which I think it quite rare. While I was at the front desk one day a guy in that age group came up wanting them to register his thanks for the program and said they're an age bracket ignored by most cruise lines. Given that next year we'll have an 18yo it makes future HAL cruises more tempting.
Sorry for the massive length, hope it's been of use to anyone who took the time to wade through! Less

I really want long and looser curls
I have 3b curls and they are a little longer than shoulder length I do not really like that they are tight and I really want them to be long any suggestions for growing them out?

In order to grow your hair, you need to take extra good care of it. You need to really moisturize and protect your ends. Your hair is constantly growing. Slowly, but it's growing. If your ends are damaged, they will break and you won't be able to retain any of the new growth. So the best tip is to be extra careful and treat your ends well. You can also try scalp massages with oils and you can also try taking biotin supplements. As for stretching, the length of your hair will increase the weight or it, loosening the curl a little; so naturally, your hair should loosen up over time. You can also try twisting or braiding your hair as opposed to doing wash n gos, because when it dries in a twist or braid, it will stretch out the curl, changing the pattern.

Episode: VOY 260 - Prophecy
Klingon who served aboard the ship that the U.S.S. Voyager encountered in the Delta Quadrant. When his superior, Captain Kohlar, believed B'Elanna Torres to be part of an ancient Klingon prophesy, T'Greth was skeptical and challenged Tom Paris to a death match. Although he should have defeated Paris easily, he collapsed during the combat and was diagnosed with the "Nehret," a deadly disease afflicting all of his crew. Using hybrid cells from Torres' unborn child, the Doctor found a cure and T'Greth settled on a Delta Quadrant planet with the rest of his people.

Issued at 637 PM CDT Tue Jul 25 2017 No significant updates planned for this early evening. Weak cold front along a Gwinner-Fargo-baudette line will continue sagging to the south and east. Main deep convection appears to be focused on the warm frontal boundary anchored south of a Watertown to St. Cloud line. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 338 PM CDT Tue Jul 25 2017 A capping inversion has prevented thunderstorm development across much of the area this afternoon, resulting in scattered showers across the southern half of the forecast area. By early this evening, the surface cold front will drape across approximately from Baudette to Mahnomen to Lisbon. For areas northwest of, or behind, the front, this will result in cooler, drier air filtering in, leaving dry and pleasant conditions for later tonight and tomorrow. Additional scattered thunderstorms are expected to fire tonight across another boundary moving north into South Dakota and southern Minnesota. As this boundary and the related system continue to move north and east tonight, the potential exists for these strong to severe level storms to move into areas along and south of Interstate 94, in portions of the far southern Red River Valley and west central Minnesota. The main threats expected with these storms will be hail to an inch and a half in diameter and wind gusts to 60 mph, but an isolated tornado is also possible. On Wednesday, drier northwest flow develops aloft with surface high pressure moving in from Saskatchewan. Expect more sunshine Wednesday with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s and a northwest breeze. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 338 PM CDT Tue Jul 25 2017 Minimal weather impacts in the extended period with 500mb ridging stretching well north into the Canadian rockies and prairies. As a result a quiet weather pattern will take hold across the forecast area with seasonal temperatures and SFC high pressure in place for the rest of the week. A chance for rain does enter the picture some time between Friday night or Saturday night as a weak front or trough passes. Timing at this range difficult to nail down as is thunderstorm coverage but there is a chance currently across the entire area.

Hay fever affects 1 in 5 people. Hay fever (another term for Allergic Rhinitis) causes cold-like symptoms. But unlike a cold, hay fever isn't caused by a virus. It is from an allergic reaction to airborne allergens. Like pollen, dust mites, or even pet dander.
The immune system identifies airborne substances as allergens, and triggers it's defensive reaction to them by releasing chemicals into your body, such as histamines. This results in the allergic reaction (Hay fever symptoms.)
Some years Hay Fever is worse than others. This is due to environmental factors. Like a higher pollen count due to little rain or quick weather changes.
Runny nose, sneezing, cough, itchy nose, sinus pressure, swollen skin under the eyes, decreased sense of smell or taste.
Skin testing ("scratch test") is the typical method for identifying allergies. This testing is done in an allergist's office with same day results. During skin testing, little amounts of allergen extracts are pricked into the skin. Usually on your arm or upper back. Then you are observed for signs of allergic reaction.
A blood test (sometimes called RAST) can measure your response to a specific allergen. A blood sample is sent to a medical laboratory, where it is tested for evidence of sensitivity.
The best way to treat Hay fever is by avoiding it's trigger.
For some people Hay fever is minor, a temporary nuisance. But if your symptoms are persistent, they can make you miserable. Affecting your work, school, and leisure time. Finding the right Hay fever treatment will make a big difference.
There are a number of prescription medications available to help relieve hay fever symptoms. Allergy shots, or immunotherapy, is also a form of treatment aimed at curing the allergy(ies.)

Target: Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant
Goal: Keep the state's only abortion clinic open
Abortion clinics have always been controversial places. They are hot topics in every state and are often met with open hostility in many parts of the nation. Oftentimes that hostility descends from state governments themselves. States will sometimes rescind public funding from any clinic that performs abortions within its borders. Other times local politicians and policymakers will often contrive arbitrary and extremely restrictive laws in an attempt to drive the clinics into the ground. Such is the case in Mississippi, where the state's last abortion clinic, the Jackson Women's Health Organization, is fighting to keep its doors open.
The sole clinic recently missed its deadline to comply with a set of absurd and unnecessary laws that were passed in the Summer of 2012. The most important provision of these rules requires the clinic to have doctors on staff that all have hospital admitting privileges. This has proven difficult for the state's clinics to accomplish (as it is an unnecessary rule and a procedure mired in red tape), and as a result the Jackson Women's Health Organization has been fighting for its life.
The law is nominally supposed to ensure that clinics operate above board and that the health of the clinic's patients is being protected. However, Phil Bryant, Mississippi's pro-life governor has explicitly said that his intent and goal is to shut down the clinic, an opinion intimated to a group of pastors and a recent pro-life luncheon.
Although Bryant does not have the authority to personally shut down abortion clinics, he has been able to make their futures far more tenuous by installing laws to restrict their freedom. These "Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers" laws (often called TRAP laws) do not help anyone, but infringe upon women's reproductive rights and dominion over their own bodies.
Closing abortion clinics will have no benefits for the state of Mississippi. Nothing good can come from it—more unwanted pregnancies, unwanted children, people having to seek state assistance because they were forced to have a child they were not prepared for. People will not be able to access much-needed contraceptives, STD screenings, advice, and help. It is perfectly fine for Governor Bryant to be anti-abortion. That is his right and no one can tell him differently. However, it is not fine for him to foist his opinion on to others, endangering his constituents and taking away their reproductive rights. Tell Governor Bryant and the state of Mississippi to keep the Jackson Women's Health Organization open.
Dear Governor Bryant,
A governor has to keep a lot in mind, juggling myriad responsibilities and an extremely busy schedule. Certainly though, the health and well-being of the people of Mississippi must be one of your priorities. If it is, then I implore to reconsider your stance towards the Jackson Women's Health Organization.
The Jackson Women's Health Organization is Mississippi's last remaining abortion clinic and is an undeserving victim of the Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers laws that you put in place. You may not agree with abortion personally but you cannot force your opinions on all the people of the state.
The Jackson Women's Health Organization (and clinics all across our nation) provides people in need with critical services such as contraception (which will actually lead to fewer unwanted pregnancies), STD screening and counseling. People depend on these services, and as reluctant as you may be to admit it, they help Mississippi. There is just no denying the facts—fewer unwanted pregnancies and neglected children are good things.
The laws that you have passed have been unfair to the Jackson Women's Health Organization and detrimental to the people of Mississippi. If you shut down the clinic your people will only suffer. I beg of you, Governor, reconsider your decision.

Highlights of the special issue include:
The day before the NCAA championship final in Tampa a reporter asked Pat Summitt if she had thought about how she'll react when she realizes she has coached Candace Parker and four seniors for the last time. Summitt didn't seem overly concerned about being staggered by emotion at the wrong time.
"We all say, Once a Lady Vol, always a Lady Vol. They'll come back, just like the others. They will always be a part of the family," Summitt said.
How many programs have players who yearn for the day they can reminisce with future players and swap coach stories?
"I can't wait till I come back in 10 years, when I'm thirty-something years old, telling stories about the Tennessee program," said Candace Parker (page 10).
Win or lose, Tennessee's 27th NCAA tournament was bound to draw to a bittersweet conclusion. The euphoria that would follow a successful defense of its 2007 championship would ultimately give way to the sadness of having to say goodbye to five key contributors to that run of back-to-back titles. How well will Tennessee fare without the nucleus of a team that has combined for 101 wins over the last three seasons (page 31)?
Three years ago at this time, Alexis Hornbuckle was a wide-eyed freshman starter on a veteran Tennessee team that had designs on reaching the Final Four. She had no idea what to expect.
"I was so nervous," said Hornbuckle, adding that she could've benefited from a little direction from her more experienced teammates.
Fellow senior Nicky Anosike remembers being just as lost back then.
"They kind of left us in the dust," she said.
Determined not to complete the cycle with this year's underclassmen, Anosike and Hornbuckle convened an informal briefing session before the first round of the NCAA tournament at the team's hotel to take questions and allay anxieties.
"I feel like it's the seniors' job to step up in the postseason and lead the team, because we've been here and we know what it takes," Anosike said (page 35).
THE HEROES: (pages 50-60)
Regarding Candace: As anyone who has ever seen her play will tell you, number three is one of a kind.
"My experience here at Tennessee has been great. I look back at my growth, not only as a player but also just as a person, and I feel like it's been the best four years of my life. I wouldn't change anything." – Candace Parker
Rocky Top Journey: The long road to Tennessee ended with two national titles for Shannon Bobbitt.
"She's the kind of kid that you root for because she's small, she's tough and she wants to be successful so bad." – Teammate Alexis Hornbuckle
THE TITLE TEAMS: (pages 62-77)
1987 - Finally First Prize at the Big Dance: After eight tries the Lady Vols brought home the trophy.
1989 – Vols that Glitter Are Gold: With a wealth of talent, Tennessee was on the money once again.
1991 – Just tougher than the Rest: "Playing for Pat," the Lady Vols gutted out an OT win over Virginia.
1996 – Bringing Up the D Word: Defense? Drive? Determination? Yes, but we're talking dynasty.
1997 – Going Back-To-Back the Hard Way : The Lady Vols overcame injuries and adversity on the way to repeating.
1998 – "Meeks" Inherit a Place in History: Chamique, Semeka and Tamika led Tennessee to a third straight title.
2007 – Returning to the Summitt: After a nine-year drought, Tennessee reached the top again.
A Collector of Championships: It's never just "another year, another trophy" for Pat Summitt (page 80).

Andrew Stanton Dives Into Finding Nemo 2
Will he make the aquatic sequel?
While we hold firm to the idea that Andrew Stanton's John Carter was unjustly torn down, we can't say we're 100 per cent shocked by this development: Stanton has reportedly decided to return to Pixar full time to direct the follow up to Finding Nemo.
This being Pixar, the company won't even comment on Deadline's story – Stanton himself taking to Twitter to counsel fans not "to believe everything you read" – as the Emeryville gang guards its development secrets closely. But Stanton has apparently come up with a concept that his fellow Brain Trust members – including the likes of John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Lee Unkrich, Pete Docter and more – love, which means it should trundle into active development sometime this year. Plus, given how beloved and successful Nemo was (it still ranks as Pixar's second-highest-grossing release) we expect the usual complaints about the company doing sequels to be tempered with interest in what the fishy world will reveal next.
For Stanton, it's a chance to throw himself back into a world he loves just as much as the audience, and, according to Deadline, it's also part of an idea that producing the new Nemo will convince Disney to give him another shot at a live-action movie somewhere down the road. We'd guess the Mouse House will want to rein in the budget a little more this time, but consider the model of David Fincher, who kicked off his career with Alien 3 and has since gone on to no little success...
The original will be re-released in 3D later this year across the sea and on March 29 on these shores. So come on then – out with your guesses. What do you think Nemo 2 (assuming it makes it through Pixar's tough screening process) will be about?

Chapter Three: Shadows
Lief sat at the great table in the palace kitchens fighting down rage as he listened to Barda's story. Doom sat opposite him, his face as usual showing no emotion. Beside Doom was Jasmine, her head bowed.
Barda had learned of the Noradz people's fate from Tom, the strange shopkeeper he, Lief and Jasmine had met on their journey through the north.
"When I found the city deserted I went to Tom," he said. "I knew he could tell us what had happened, if anyone could. He says the Ra-Kacharz were seen marching the people towards the border. It was only days before the Shadow Lord's defeat."
Jasmine lifted her head. "Those people were helpless," she said bitterly. "Among them was the girl Tira, who saved our lives. And still we do nothing! We sit here and talk! While thousands of souls all over Deltora are willing and able to "
"Jasmine!" Lief's stomach was churning. "We cannot march on the Shadowlands. The Shadow Lord's sorcery is too mighty to be defeated on his own ground."
"But the Belt " Jasmine began.
"The Belt was made for defense, not attack," Doom broke in. "The gems cannot be taken beyond Deltora's borders. Have you forgotten that, Jasmine?"
Jasmine had forgotten it, but she paused for only a moment. "Then we must invade the Shadowlands without the Belt," she said stubbornly. "Deltorans are suffering there in slavery, perhaps in torment "
"I know this, Jasmine! Not an hour passes that I do not think of it!" cried Lief, jumping to his feet. "But I cannot send thousands of other Deltorans to their deaths in a hopeless quest to save them. I can do nothing until I find a weapon we can use against the Shadow Loard. I cannot and I will not! Do you understand?"
Jasmine's mouth was a thin, hard line. "I understand only too well, Lief," she said coldly. "We are to give the prisoners up for lost, while you go into hiding in Tora. Well, I will have no part of it!"
She turned and almost ran from the room. With a muttered curse, Barda went after her.
Lief slumped back into his chair again. "She does not understand. Doom, I must tell her "
"You must not!" Doom leaned forward urgently, gripping Lief's arm. "You must follow the plan in absolute secrecy. It is so important, Lief. It is the most important thing. You know it."
Lief gritted his teeth, then slowly nodded his head.
