I long for the muscle cars and other heavier cars in other ways too.
Did you know that the Democrats' strong support for the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards since this bill was enacted in 1978 has KILLED up to 2,600 people PER YEAR! That is over 50,000 people who died as a result of these standards, according to the National Academy of Sciences.

5 Tips to Start Eating Healthier
How To Eat Healthier
With every January, every summer, every picture that makes you squirm from embarrassment, comes the promise to yourself that now will be the time to eat healthier. You buy the gym membership, and start the rigorous diet, only to concede defeat two weeks later. Again return the feelings of frustration and disappointment. Is it honestly this hard to live a healthy lifestyle?
Here are five easy tips to keep you on track.
1. Set Yourself Up for Success
When starting a new habit, planning pays off. It can be the difference between success and regret. Why would you surround yourself with temptation? You know exactly where the cookies are hiding in the middle of the night (behind the pasta, on the top shelf).
Start fresh with a purging of all your favorite junk foods. Replace them with fruits and vegetables. Prep these yummy treats into plastic snack bags and keep them stocked. Apple wedges and peanut butter slices are a delicious alternative to a midnight snack of milk and cookies when you're trying to be good.
2. Pick An Accountability Buddy
Having someone to hold you accountable makes a huge difference when it comes to keeping your resolve. It's one thing to let yourself down; it's another to disappoint a friend or family member that's counting on you.
Send text messages to cheer your partner on each morning. Share moments of weakness and victory throughout the day.
3. Large Portions of the Good Stuff
When serving your plate, be sure that there are more veggies than grains, carbohydrates or meat. FitBit writer, Tracy Morris suggests filling up at least half your plate with vegetables.
Experiment with vegetables and fruit until you find your favorites. Go online and research new recipes to get excited. Even the yucky Brussel Sprouts of your youth can make a delicious transformation when sauteed with garlic, salt, and olive oil.
4. Breakfast is King
Dr. John L. Ivy of the University of Texas at Austin, states, "Breakfast is a critical meal because it influences practically every dimension of our being during the course of the day, including how we perform physically and mentally."
After fasting all night, your body requires the energy-providing aid of a balanced breakfast. Skipping this meal can leave you feeling drained of energy, unfocused, and more likely to seek a quick sugar rush. That donut might be heaven at first, but the fatigue will leave you spiraling into greater exhaustion.
Make waking up as easy as possible. Leave fruit and veggies for breakfast smoothies prepared in the refrigerator the night before. Foods such as breakfast burritos can also be made ahead of time and simply warmed up when needed.
5. To Thine Own Self, Be True
We can be our worst enemy if we aren't careful. We sabotage ourselves by eating out of boredom, stress, sadness, or tiredness.
Our bodies and minds go on autopilot so you can focus on other things. Autopilot is helpful when chewing gum and walking, not so much when you find yourself polishing off that bag of chips while watching TV.
Dr. Susan Carnell links boredom eating and low levels of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, our brain's chemical messengers, linked to motivation and drive. When we feel bored, our bodies may want to consume food to boost our dopamine levels.
This neurotransmitter also has a connection to happiness. Studies have shown dopamine to spike our feelings of eagerness, excitement, and positivity.
Mindfulness is something that should come into play in all aspects of our life. It's taking regular inventory of our emotions and feelings. Before you eat, stop for a second and consider, "Am I Hungry? Bored? Tired? In need of a pick-me-up?" Find alternatives such as going outside for a walk, meeting up with a friend, drink a glass of water, make a cup of tea or take a twenty to thirty minute power nap.
Bonus Tip: Be Nice to Yourself
When we finally make the decision to start eating healthier, we often go overboard. If you relapse into your bad eating habits, acknowledge your mistake and keep on trying. Don't beat yourself up and give up altogether. Little steps heed big results. Leave the regret and guilt in the past, and try try again.

A Canberra public servant accused of spying has lost a bid to have secret information released to his legal team.
Yeon Kim had his decade-long secret security clearance revoked by Australia's domestic spy agency in 2011.
The agricultural trade specialist was accused of having unreported contact with foreign spies while working as a section manager in the Agricultural Trade Section at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation claimed Dr Kim of being involved in "foreign interference" with South Korea's National Intelligence Service.
ASIO alleged Dr Kim had passed information to an NIS operative about negotiations over a bilateral trade agreement between Canberra and Seoul.
Dr Kim challenged the adverse security assessment in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and then the Federal Court.
But much of the information, evidence and submission relevant to the case was suppressed – even from Dr Kim and his legal team – after the Attorney-General issued two security certificates.
Dr Kim asked the Federal Court to set aside the certificates and release the material, arguing the lack of access was a denial of natural justice and procedural fairness.
But Justice Lindsay Foster earlier this month threw out the request, saying Dr Kim's challenge had come too late.
The judge said the certificates should have been challenged when they were issued, which was months before the tribunal hearing.
"He did not do so prior to that time. His failure to do so led to the inevitable consequence that the hearing before the AAT was conducted, as required by law, upon the basis that the certificates had to be respected," Justice Foster wrote.
"In my judgment, it is now too late for the applicant to attack the certificates.
"He cannot stand by and watch while the certificates are deployed against him and then subsequently seek to challenge them when it becomes apparent that they were a significant contributor to the applicant's loss in the AAT."
Justice Foster said to find otherwise would undermine the integrity of the tribunal's procedures.
Dr Kim's full challenge will be heard in November.

UPDATE: The House passed S.95 on third reading. Attempts to amend the language regarding certification of state funds failed.
Saturday's session was meant to be a gavel in, gavel out affair in the House of Representatives, after all, the reps are all but done with their business for the year.
But there's no telling what can happen in a floor debate and on Saturday, a little bill designed to protect employees turned into big deal and became the catalyst for several hours of debate.
S.95, a piece of Senate legislation that is similar to a bill that was drawn up in the House, prevents employers from using credit reports as part of the hiring process for new workers. Another provision allows school employees to be paid over a calendar year. So far, so good.
It was the third provision of the bill that sent the body into a frenzy of discussion and amendments. It required community mental health agencies that receive state funds to certify that none of the money is used to restrict or interfere an "employee's rights with respect to unionization."
Turns out the reporter of the bill, Rep. John Moran, D-Wardsboro, had what appeared to be a conflict of interest, and other lawmakers questioned whether the bill was directed at his former employer, Health Care and Rehabilitation Services of Southeastern Vermont, one of the state's community mental health agencies.
HCRS was involved in a labor dispute a few years ago, and Moran, a substance abuse counselor for HCRS, was one of the union members who was involved in the fight waged by the United Nurses and Allied Professionals Local 5051.
In 2007, HCRS filed a formal complaint with the House Rules Committee against Moran, regarding what the organization saw as a violation of his conflict of interest limits under House Rule 75.
The letter alleged that Moran had used his position as a lawmaker to put pressure on his employer.
An attorney for HCRS wrote: "Rep. Moran's public advocacy — wielding the influence of his legislative position — for his own financial gain — is gross misuse of that office; it is possibly slanderous as well, notwithstanding the legislative immunity doctrine."
HCRS laid off Moran, who worked on a per diem basis, a few years ago. He now works at the Brattleboro Retreat.
Moran says he's done nothing wrong, and he has nothing to gain from the legislation now under consideration. Besides, Moran says, he was never a union organizer, he was just a member of the union.
"Once I was elected as a legislator (in 2007), I dropped away from active participation in the union," Moran said.
In the House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee, of which Moran is a member, lawmakers took testimony in March about the salary levels of the upper management of HCRS and grilled the CEO of the agency about how much money was spent on lawyers to fight the union. The agency spent $1.1 million in salaries for eight executives in 2009. That year, HCRS spent more than $500,000 on the legal expenses for Jackson Lewis, a Boston firm that has a reputation for union busting.
On Saturday, Rep. Helen Head, D-S. Burlington, suggested that the language of S.95 be broadened to include all employers who receive grant funds from the state. The legislation would apply to municipalities, schools and other entities. Employers would have to certify that no funds were used "to interfere with or restrain the exercise of an employee's rights with respect to unionization."
The bill passed and is up for third reading on Monday.
The remarks of Rep. Chris Pearson, P-Burlington, were journalized for the record.
"How ironic to have blatantly anti-union motions brought forward on a Saturday," Pearson said. "After all, it was unions that gave us the very concept of our treasured weekends."
Over the weekend, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns sent out an action alert asking local officials to contact their legislators and ask "why such a certification is necessary on top of all the requirements already in place for state dollars granted to municipalities."
According to the League, "every" city and town in the state receives grants of state funds, "town highway aid being among the most widely distributed."
Karen Horn wrote: "It seems redundant and unnecessary to require a new certification that the municipality is complying with laws already in statute or grant conditions already in place, particularly when it is unclear what 'records' shall be required upon request to attest to such certification."
The Secretary of Administration would be responsible for the certification records. The Shumlin administration opposes the legislation.
On Monday, the House approved the bill on third reading. Attempts by Rep. Oliver Olsen, R-Jamaica, to amend the bill failed.

The refurbishment of the Mesa Lab begins in earnest over the next few months. The landmark building, completed in 1966, will get upgraded distribution systems for electrical wiring, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, as well as some new light fixtures and additional fire sprinklers and alarms.
|The ML main driveway and front entrance are getting an overhaul. (Photo by Carlye Calvin.)
The buildings infrastructure already has lasted past its predicted lifespan of 25 to 30 years. So the $12 million refurbishment is needed to meet federal and local building codes, increase energy efficiency, and improve facility operations.
Physical Plant Services has already finished two ML projects, renovating the Fountain and Tree Plazas. But now that the work is moving to the front entrance and the interior of the building, both staffers and visitors will face some disruptions. "We know its inconvenient, but when its done the refurbishment should last us another 35 years," says Tina Bogott (PPS), who is overseeing the project.
Heres what awaits ML staff and visitors:
Work on the main driveway and front entrance began this month and will last until the fall. During that time, the main entrance will be closed, but staff can use such alternatives as the Fountain Plaza by the cafeteria (which is also the temporary entrance for the public) or the 2B level by the loading dock. The front desk has been temporarily moved near the cafeteria, and the shuttle is stopping below the south side of the Tree Plaza.
A multiphase utilities refurbishment is scheduled to begin this summer. As early as August, staffers will be temporarily moved out of A Tower until about the end of the year.
The second phase of the utilities refurbishment will begin in December, when crews turn their attention to the lobby and mezzanine. During that phase, which will last much of the winter, the exhibit areas will be inaccessible and the building will be closed to the general public.
Once the lobby and mezzanine areas are completed, crews will begin work on other parts of the building.
Tina offers some advice to the staffers in Tower A who will have to relocate their offices during the upgrade. She urges them to take only those files and computers that theyre sure theyll need access to. The remaining desks, file cabinets, and other items will be safely stored in a warehouse during the refurbishment.
She also says: "This is an excellent time to do spring cleaning and throw out or archive old files and other things that you no longer need." oDavid Hosansky

New York Methodist Hospital's application for a variance to construct its proposed new Center for Community Health at 505-525 6th Street was approved by a unanimous vote at the city's Board of Standards and Appeals, though neighbors are still looking at ways to fight the massive construction project.
"Because this project has the potential to forever alter the essential character of Park Slope, we will continue to challenge the New York Methodist Hospital's efforts and hope to work with elected officials and community leaders to modify the current plan," Bennett Kleinberg of Preserve Park Slope said in a statement.
The plans have gone through a number of revisions, which were approved by Community Board 6 with some conditions earlier this year, and you can see the most recent revisions here. The new 8-story building, which will house ambulatory and outpatient services and a surgery center, will require the demolition of several buildings and the addition of hundreds of parking spaces in an underground garage, with work expected to begin later this year.
"We were most gratified by the unanimous decision of the (BSA) to grant the variances needed for (the facility)," Lyn Hill, vice president for communication and external affairs at Methodist, said in a statement provided to the Daily News. "For nearly a year, the hospital has worked with our community to advance this project, which will enhance outpatient healthcare for Brooklyn residents, and we have incorporated numerous suggestions and revisions as a result of community input."
Preserve Park Slope says their next step will be to deal with the New York State Department of Health, which has to grant a Certificate of Need to move forward with this project.
"We believe no such approval should be granted until oversight is in place to weigh in on the broader community benefits of New York Methodist Hospital's plan," Kleinberg said.

Title: Gone Girl
Author: Gillian Flynn
Pages: 432
Publisher: The Crown Publishing Group
Source: NetGalley
Available: Barnes and Noble
From the Publisher: Marriage can be a real killer.
One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
Holy wow.
This book was nothing like what I expected. I expected a typical murder mystery, and this novel far exceeded my expectations.
It is thrilling. It is disturbing. It is insane. It is dark and twisted. It is awesome.
I will rave about this book for years to come.
The best part? It kept me guessing. There was nothing predictable about this story and that will always always make me rave about a story.
The first part of the novel is told through alternating perspectives – those of Nick in real time and then Amy's diary entries from the past 7 years. The rest of the book is also told from alternate POVs, but to reveal any more than that would be a huge spoiler – so I won't. Suffice it to say, the big twist of the story happens after the first third of the book – a nice change from those big plot twists that happen at the end of stories.
Bottom line: read this book, especially if you like a psychological thriller that will keep you on your toes. And remember – what you think you know is rarely the truth of the matter.

Istanbul gains track approval
Plans for a Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul have been given the go-ahead by Formula One circuit designer Hermann Tilke.
Tilke inspected the site with Turkish motor sports federation head Mumtaz Tahincioglu and described it as "atmospheric".
Turkish officials said last week that Istanbul had been chosen as the venue to host a Grand Prix in 2005 by F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
The site beat off competition from Izmir and Antalya and Tilke expects work to begin in April or May 2003
The German, who was responsible for designing the Sepang track in Malaysia, says that the hilly terrain will not be a problem for drivers.
"For the drivers and spectators it's good to both have flat areas for high speeds and to have hills. We can make a very atmospheric track."
A contract for the race has yet to be signed but Turkish officials say a deal is imminent.
However, the FIA, Formula One's governing body, would not confirm that Istanbul had been selected.
But Ecclestone said in a letter to the Turkish federation last week: "I have decided upon Istanbul.
"Now we need to finalize the commercial issues and the TV rights."
Istanbul would be the latest city to enter F1 following the decision to award races to Shanghai and Bahrain in 2004.
The new venues could see traditional European races like the Austrian Grand Prix and the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola removed from the calendar.
Belgium has already been struck off next year's schedule, reducing the season to 16 events, although it could be reinstated for 2004.
Formula One, after a season in which television ratings slumped badly, is trying to spread from its traditional European base where restrictions on tobacco advertising harm revenue potential.
Ecclestone visited Istanbul, Izmir and Antalya in the summer and said at the time that Turkey had a 99.9% chance of staging a race.
Turkish officials believe a Grand Prix would boost tourism in the country, which is caught up in an economic crisis.

U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) reintroduced legislation Thursday to help increase the number of low-income and at-risk students able to access and complete a college education. The American Dream Accounts Act would authorize the Department of Education to award three-year competitive grants to support innovative and comprehensive partnerships that support low-income students in preparation for a college education.
"If America wants to remain a leader in the global market, we must provide opportunities for our students to access and complete higher education," Senator Coons said. "College not only keeps our nation competitive, but can also provide a ladder to the middle class by preparing our students for good-quality, high-paying jobs. American Dream Accounts are a way to strengthen the ability of teachers, parents, mentors, and students to work together to make sure that young people -- throughout their entire educational experience -- prepare for, save for, train for, and then fulfill a vision for their own future."
"A college education is one of the most important investments someone can make in their future, and it's important that more young people get that opportunity," Senator Rubio said. "The American Dream Accounts Act will use existing Department of Education funds to award competitive grants to organizations that provide counseling and financial support for low-income students preparing for college, affording more students the opportunity to receive a higher education and hopefully see a better life. We should be helping more qualified students attend higher education institution, and ensuring they have meaningful counseling about their academic and professional future."
Endorsed by the Delaware PTA, Delaware State University and the Rodel Foundation of Delaware, the American Dream Accounts Act encourages partnerships among schools, colleges, non-profits and businesses to develop secure, Web-based student accounts that contain information about academic preparedness, financial literacy and high-impact mentoring and would be tied to a college savings account. Instead of approaching these threads independently, this bill connects students, parents and teachers across silos, and takes a small but significant step toward helping more at-risk students of all income levels access, afford and complete a college education.
The American Dream Accounts Act authorizes the Department of Education to award three-year competitive grants to local partnerships that:
-Create personal online accounts for low-income students that monitor higher education readiness and include a college savings account. These "American Dream Accounts" would stay with students from school to school and through college. Parents would grant vested stakeholders (including counselors, teachers, coaches, mentors, and others) access to the account to update student information, monitor progress, and provide college preparatory support.
-Open college savings accounts for students. Every ADA would include a college savings account for each student. Grantees that can provide these accounts with seed money would be prioritized.
-Support college readiness by securely monitoring students' progress online. Academic and behavioral information, including grades and course selections, progress reports, and attendance and disciplinary records would be available for review in an ADA, which would also provide opportunities to gain financial literacy, prepare for college enrollment, and identify skills and career interests.
-Collect data about effective ways to assist high-risk students in planning for college through a comprehensive monitoring and reporting system.
-Cost nothing. Funding would come from existing Department of Education funds.
Early investment is key. Sixty-eight percent of Delaware high school students graduate, and the rate drops dramatically in minority communities, with only 59 percent of Hispanic students and 59 percent of African American students earning a high school diploma. American Dream Accounts can help close that gap by giving students motivation and support early on, including the knowledge that scholarships, Pell and SEED grants will be there to support them after high school.
Senators Coons and Rubio first introduced the American Dream Accounts Act in March 2012. In addition to the Delaware PTA, Delaware State University and the Rodel Foundation of Delaware, the bill has also been endorsed by the National Parent Teacher Association, the "I Have a Dream" Foundation, Opportunity Nation, the Corporation for Enterprise Development, and First Focus Campaign for Children.
U.S. Representative Chaka Fattah (D-PA-02) is expected to reintroduce the American Dream Accounts Act in the House of Representatives later this month.

Washington (UPI) Oct 20, 2005
Swiss drug company Roche Holdings, the sole manufacturer of Tamiflu, will meet with four generic-drug companies as early as next week in an attempt to boost production of the anti-viral medication, two senators said Thursday.
Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said they had received assurances from Roche that it would meet with Teva Pharmaceuticals, Barr Laboratories, Mylan Laboratories and Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals in the coming days to determine how to boost production of Tamiflu, which is in high demand as a potential treatment to prevent infection by the avian-flu virus.
Roche has agreed to issue manufacturing sub-licenses for the companies, "who demonstrate appropriate capabilities to manufacture Tamiflu in order to accelerate product supply," Schumer and Graham said in a news release issued prior to a meeting with reporters on Capitol Hill.
The Food and Drug Administration still must approve all U.S. production standards, they said. The Department of Health and Human Services also will be involved.
"The purpose here is not to break the patent on Tamiflu, but rather to meet an emergency need for quantities of this drug that Roche itself simply cannot do alone," Schumer said.
Schumer had been pressuring the company to permit other manufacturers to produce Tamiflu and met with George Abercrombie, Roche's chief executive officer, before the news briefing, although Abercrombie did not attend.
"I can't believe what we have been able to accomplish in the past 48 hours," Graham said. "It's breathtaking."
So far, 40 countries worldwide have rushed to place Tamiflu orders with Roche because of rising public concern over the spread of the virus, which has been detected in Turkey, Greece and Romania and along the eastern edge of Africa.
"We are all worried about a pandemic," Schumer said. "The experts say this pandemic is not an 'if,' but a 'when.'"
He said the expanded supplies should begin reaching the market in about a month.
H5N1, as this avian-flu virus strain is known, first began infecting humans in 1997 in Southeast Asia. Since then it has infected 120 people, most of whom have had close contact with birds.
At present, there is no immunization available against the virus, and various strains can become resistant to anti-viral drugs such as Tamiflu over time.
Roche holds the patent on the drug until 2016.

Last week I had a black ant problem in my bathroom. Little black ants were swarming all over my bathroom counter. I tried wiping them up, but after several attempts I realized I was losing the battle. I did what any tech savvy housewife would do and asked my Facebook friends how to get rid of these ants!
I received tons of helpful advice, including the following ideas:
- Honey and Borax
- Salt sprinkled where you see them.
- Peppermint oil on a cotton ball where you see them.
- Cayenne pepper
- Homemade vinegar cleaner
- Cinnamon
- Terro Ant Liquid
- Splenda
- Melaleuca PreSpot
- Bay Leaves
Since I had a few cinnamon sticks leftover from Christmas I decided to place a few in my bathroom. A few hours later all the yucky ant friends were gone. I was surprised that it worked, but after researching it a bit I found out that ants dislike powder (I used sticks, so obviously this wasn't the reason) and that they don't like the smell.
I noticed that a few days later I had one or two ants back in my bathroom. I'm going to put some cinnamon powder down tonight and see if that keeps them away for a while.
Since I have little children I like to avoid using poisons unless I really have to. I love the fact that the cinnamon worked to get rid of the black ants. What works for you?

We flew in from Vancouver B.C. via Toronto on Air Canada the day before. All flights, Hotel and Transfers were included in our Carnival booking. We were picked up by Carnival staff at Ft. Lauderdale Airport and bussed by Gray Hound to the Hotel. We stayed at the Sheraton Ft. Lauderdale Airport Hotel, a 5 minute ride away. Very nice hotel. When we arrived we dropped off our stuff in the room and caught a taxi to a shopping area one exit away ($6 each way). It had a K Mart, Old Navy, Ross, McDonalds, Home Depot ETC. The hotel did have a restaurant but it was quite pricey.
The morning of the cruise we were More picked up by Carnival Staff and bussed to Port Everglades, about 10 minutes away. We arrived at about 12:30, our luggage was off loaded at the pier and loaded directly on the ship, embarkation went very quickly and we were on the ship in minutes. The ship was beautiful, the dEcor is a garden theme with floral and black "Iron" looks throughout. Our Cabin was an inside on deck 8. We had two lower beds. The room had lots of closet space. It also had a safe that was free to use all you needed was a card with a magnetic stripe on the back to open and close the safe. There was also a fridge in the cabin...stocked...we took our own case of soda on board, so we emptied the stock into an empty drawer and filled it up with our own stuff. The fridge was not very cold but it served us well. The beds were comfy, the TV had loads of channels, two movie, NBC, ABC...and probably 6 ship channels. If you have an inside cabin, do yourself a favor and bring, a night light, and a battery powered alarm clock. The rooms are so dark you'll sleep until dinner.
The Lido was one deck up from our cabin. The food was great. Breakfast was just OK but the selection for lunch was amazing. Fish and chips, Deli, Pizza, Buffet...It's all there baby! We had dinner every night in the dining room. We had early (5:45) seating, our server Edwin was fantastic. The Turkey dinner was SO good and the Chocolate Melting Cake....DIVINE!!
Shopping on the ship was crazy...sales everyday. They sold everything including the bed and sheets you slept on! I'm not kidding. If you are going to go to the spa, it gets cheaper every day so wait until the end. Art Auctions, gold and silver by the inch, photos galore! I did find that having my digital prints developed was very reasonable, 24 hour service for 19 cents a print.
The entertainment was FANTASTIC! The dancers were high energy and the stage shows were well done. The movies on the deck at night were so fun. There were 3500 people on the ship and 900 were kids. They did a great job keeping the kids busy and I'm not sure where all the people were. Loads of empty deck chairs all over the ship.
Costa Maya, was so beautiful. We took a private tour with David and Ivan to the Mayan Ruins, our guide Eliou was so knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time. He dropped us off at the fishing village and we got a massage on the beach for $20 for an hour. It was so GREAT! We shopped at the pier for all of our souvenirs and the free salt water pool was a welcome sight!
Limon Costa Rica, we booked with Charlie Soto tours. They were also wonderful, we went zip lining, (best day of my life) Jungle river cruise, saw a little boy holding a baby crocodile. Then we stopped for a quick lunch and grocery store.
Colon Panama, We booked our tour with My Friend Mario. Our guide was Rey. This is a very poor and dirty city. We went to the canal, fort and beach. It was a rainy day but still a very interesting time.
Booking privately was a good thing, we saved so much money doing it this way!
Disembarkation went smoothly and home we went! Less

Poor White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. His shot at Sarah Palin Tuesday made not only him but his boss look bad, too.
Gibbs mimicked Palin by writing a few words on his left hand, then showed them off during Tuesday's press briefing.
Gibbs' intent was to mock Palin for using her hand as a mini-reminder kit during her appearance at last weekend's Tea Party Convention in Nashville.
Gibbs mocks Palin with childish stunt

Building a Case for India's Infrastructure Companies
There Are Promising Signs for the Likes of Larsen & Toubro
India's investment cycle turns slowly. But there are promising signs of late for the country's major infrastructure companies.
Decrepit roads and ports and an overstretched energy grid are major drags on India's economic growth, which slowed to a decade low last year. New Delhi says the country needs to invest at least $1 trillion in new highways, power plants and the like in the next five years. Yet spending's actually...

The Duke University Museum of Art opened to the public in 1969, in a renovated science building on the University's East Campus. Planning for the Museum of Art began when the University acquired the Brummer Collection of Medieval and Renaissance Art in 1966. Other significant holdings included the George Harley Memorial Collection of African Art and a significant pre-Columbian collection, as well as Classical, American, and Russian art. As of 2004, the museum housed a collection of about 13,000 works ranging from ancient to contemporary art, and it regularly organized and featured a number of national traveling exhibitions.
The Museum's directors have been: Robert Moeller (1969-1970), William Heckscher (1970-1974), William Stars (1974-1982), John Spencer (1982-1986), Michael Mezzatesta (1987-2003), and Kimerly Rorschach (2004- ).
In 1998, Duke alumnus Raymond D. Nasher ('43) donated funds to support construction of a new art museum at Duke University. Construction began in 2000 on the Nasher Museum of Art, located between Duke's East and West campuses, and it was set to open in October 2005. Designed by Rafael Violy, the 65,000 square-foot facility was planned to become a cornerstone for cultural activities on campus, serving as a venue for performing arts events, lectures, film series and social gatherings.
Collection includes correspondence, administrative files, financial records, exhibit catalogs and publicity material, fund-raising files, clippings, photographs, and related records. Major subjects include the opening of the Museum of Art, the Brummer Collection of Medieval and Renaissance Art, and exhibits. Materials range in date from 1962 to 2002.
Development files are RESTRICTED for 25 years from the date of creation.
All records in Box 8 (Development files, Benenson award files, and Financial records) are RESTRICTED for 25 years from the date of creation.
Exhibit catalogs include Ibram Lassaw, 1963; A Catalogue of Drawings and Prints by William Heckscher, 1967; Richard A. Miller, 1967; From Slave to Siren, 1971; DeGrazia of Arizona, 1972; The American Comic Strip, 1982; and others.

Priceless Farmers versus Penniless Urbanites
Global economic turbulences have
turned debates back to the basics. Systemic
fundamentals are being tested with forces of
reorientation, and what used to be exclusive talk in
expert corners is now ending up in parliaments and
public gatherings.
News anchors across the world are
acting as part-time economists with tolerable but
sometimes annoying mistakes in analysing economic
crises. It is as if the global ship is sailing
through turbulent waters and all the passengers are
looking for solutions to stabilise its journey.
One such effort of discussing global
food price volatility was an event organised last
week by the Technical Centre for Agricultural and
Rural Cooperation (CTA) located in Brussels,
Belgium. By bringing global agricultural experts
under one roof, for a day, to discuss the
increasingly variable global food prices, the
discussion aimed to create a consensus about causes
of the imminent problems of the global belly.
Situated at the heart of the
shattering eurozone, the CTA feeds global
policymaking with a closer look at agricultural
issues that often gets overlooked by European
bigwigs with Nostradum suits. In dealing with the
issues of price volatility, the latest Brussels
Development Briefings were led by marginal
Urbanites crave lower prices, while
farmers wish for higher returns. Politicians want
the deal settled peacefully, whereas academicians
wish to reduce the cost of the transactions. As
often is the case, however, the many dancers do not
dance in harmony and the floor gets chaotic.
As it appears, the global debate on
agriculture is deprived of the valour of practical
experience. As a renowned expert puts it, the system
is structurally biased towards transitory interests
with agriculture receiving little of the public
financial steam. Even when it comes, it overburdens
weak institutions that channel it for easy
decisions, such as ordering massive import
consignments, rather than reorienting the basics of
With over 70pc of household incomes
directed at buying food, the talk of the briefings
is no longer distant from domestic headlines. It
embraces the worries of the emerging African
middleclass, the marginalised poor, the insecure
rich, and whoever else does not fall into these
categories. Issues of stabilising the food supply
for the ever-expanding global belly, which has seven
billion sub-bellies to feed, feels so familial that
the voices at Brussels could rightly be heard in
Addis Abeba.
Increasing food prices is the daily
reality of urbanites, with no foreseeable structural
solution other than increasing supply.
Surely, the Ethiopian government has
remained so very devoted to agricultural development
that a salient transformation is happening. Yet,
productivity has remained so low that the return on
investment is yet to materialise.
Experts agree that enhancing
productivity is no singular objective. It rather
demands a comprehensive approach of redressing
climate change, food market instabilities, financial
sector functions, and urban-rural linkages.
Sure, it all looks rosy in the
blueprints. It is not unreachable, either, as
countries, such as Ghana and Ethiopia, have
Away from the usual tune of export
earnings, however, the recent briefings have
introduced concrete evidence the reoccurring price
volatilities after the global food crisis of 2008.
Global food markets went bust so abruptly that the
poor were left in the margins of global crisis
stocks. Public investment regimes were left exposed,
so much so that it came to be known that they were
swimming naked.
For African farmers, the bust was a
rare opportunity to witness the real prices of their
produce. It was a reminder of the sheer size of
structural bias in the sector, within which they
were losing.
In contrast, urbanites understood
that they did not have a reliable buffer to sail
through these kinds of shocks. It was shocking for
investors that an immediate revival of agricultural
investment from Middle East and Asia flocked to
African countries, not to mention Ethiopia.
As responsive as the change was, it
could not be sustained, experts proclaim. Indeed, it
required cool heads that could think above the reach
of the waves. Yet, all available voices were highly
concentrated, vehemently partisan, poorly informed,
and problem-oriented.
Even after three years, systemic
stability is so distant that global policymaking
fights the very fire of 2008. Inflationary spirals
have continued to send shocks into the spines of
public investment regimes, household budgets, and
farmers' investments.
Increasing input prices are
worsening the situations of poor countries.
The widening mismatch between demand
and supply of food underlies the spiralling
inflation of food items. Certainly, it is on the
supply side of the equation that tangible policy
actions could be taken. But, it all takes time.
Creating a responsive global food
supply calls for enhancing agricultural
productivity, experts agreed at the briefings.
Uncertain is the question of how many delegates will
take the assignment home to effectively lobby for
concrete policy actions. But, at least, the CTA
serves the purpose at the European capital.
Closer, to home the governmental
plan envisions doubling agricultural production by
2015. Huge efforts of farmer mobilisation are going
on, with local government officials directly engaged
in the monitoring and evaluation of progress. With
the past year spent on preparation, a lot is
expected in the years to come. Eventually, inflation
stays in the kitchen.
Although no easy answer might be
availed for the issue of price volatility,
gatherings such as the one organised by the CTA, are
essential to ring the alarm bell calling for
harmonious policy action.
After all, is harmony not also

Flaubert, the genius who presides over Barnes' best novel, brings out the full force of his fetishism. (``I wish he'd shut up about Flaubert,'' Kingsley Amis is reported to have moaned.) Over half this book is devoted to ``the writer's writer'' - most strikingly to his correspondence, 4000 letters published over decades and sifted with mind-boggling dedication by Barnes. Time and again he finds gold. We witness the ageing Flaubert's battle with domesticity, as he loses the sugar bowl and worries about the jam bill. And then there is his crushing response to an editor who had the impertinence to comment on his manuscript: ``A publisher may exploit you, but he doesn't have the right to judge you.''
Flaubert's own fetish was style: each phrase scrupulously worked and reworked for the perfection he was never quite convinced he had achieved. No wonder, then, that Barnes is incapable of producing a bad sentence; the lustre of his prose is the ultimate tribute of disciple to master.
French style lends itself to aphorism; to the crisp generalisation, the polished epigram. Barnes has caught the tic. ``Courbet was a great painter, but also a serious publicity act.'' Louise Colet has ``the turning circle of a super-tanker''. In Mallarme ``words respond to one another chemically rather than gramatically''. It's this mannerism that brings a high sparkle to Barnes' prose; here is the source of its assurance, its elan.
To an anglophone ear that confidence can sound arrogant. It proclaims, ``The world is like this'', and moves on; it doesn't so much prohibit dissent as disregard it as an option. The humour and self-deprecation that also stamp these essays suggest that Barnes is far from sharing this hauteur. Nevertheless, he is so enthralled by French difference that he seems blind to the supreme indifference with which France too often greets the claims of other nations.
Barnes tells us that when British Airways refused to carry Salman Rushdie, Air France invoked les droits de l'homme in assuring the fatwa-ed writer that he would be welcome on board. A superb gesture, as Barnes observes. Yet when he concludes that French public life pays lip-service, at least, to idealism, an antipodean reader's gorge is likely to rise. Where were the rights of man in the little matter of the Rainbow Warrior? What happened to idealism on Mururoa Atoll?
Well, Barnes has already warned us that his vision is partial in every sense. The France he idolises is a nation of belles-lettres and beaux gestes. It understands pleasure. It is in a constant state of intellectual ferment. It is intensely civilised. What is the use of pointing out that it does not exist, except in a Flaubertian dictionary of idees reues? Is it possible or even desirable to argue with love?
You might find something ludicrous in the way Barnes flutters about France like a solicitous lover around his mistress, adjusting the light to its most flattering slant, smoothing out blemishes, gently chiding on occasion. But all devotion is ultimately touching. And here it produces one of the best essays I have ever read.
Justin: A Small Major Character looks at the way Flaubert works a minor character into the grand design of Madame Bovary. It is a small, flawless gem. It returns the reader to the original text with renewed delight and respect. So Something to Declare has this lesson for us, finally: that great criticism is humble, and springs from the heart.

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada's victory in an appeal against his extradition has caused outrage in the UK, as British taxpayers will now have to fork out 5 million pounds a year for a 24-hr surveillance on the terror suspect.
Qatada will be released on bail next week after he won his appeal against his extradition at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in the UK [2] (SIAC).
His appeal against extradition [3] was upheld after lawyers claimed he would not get a fair trial in Jordan, where he is accused of plotting bomb attacks.
He will now be subject to strict conditions including a curfew when he leaves Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire.
Branded the ruling "deeply unsatisfactory", UK Home Secretary Theresa May told the Commons that the UK Government "has been doing everything it can to get rid of Abu Qatada and we will continue to do so".
"Qatada is a dangerous man [4], a suspected terrorist, who is accused of serious crimes in his home country of Jordan. The British government has obtained from the Jordanian government assurances, not just in relation to the treatment of Qatada himself, but about the quality of the legal processes that would be followed throughout his trial," the BBC quoted May, as saying.
"We will therefore seek leave to appeal today's decision," he added.
May went on to say that the government would continue "to pursue all avenues" with the Jordanian government. They have assured British authorities that no evidence gained through torture would be used against the preacher, the report said.
Qatada faces a re-trial for allegedly conspiring to cause explosions on Western and Israeli targets in 1998 and 1999. He was found guilty of terrorism offences in his absence in Jordan in 1999, the report added.
Do you think Abu Qatada should be deported to Jordan? Where would he get a fair trial? Tell us what you think below.
