Mexico produced the most one-sided victory, clobbering Paraguay, 6-0. New star Nery Castillo scored two goals, the first from the penalty spot in the fifth minute after Paraguay goalkeeper Aldo Bobadilla gave away a penalty and was sent off.
Argentina routed Peru, 4-0, on Sunday with all four goals coming in the second half -- two from playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme.
On Saturday, Uruguay ended host Venezuela's dream to reaching the semifinals for the first time with a 4-1 win in the weekend's only close game. The Celeste led by only a goal until it added two goals in the final three minutes.
Brazil thumped Chile, 6-1, to silence the critics of Coach Dunga for his defensive tactics in the first stage of the competition. Dunga uses three players -- Gilberto Silva, Josue and Mineiro -- who are considered defensive specialists in midfield. That may not sit well with fans back home, but Brazil was unstoppable against Chile.
"We never had a chance," said Chile coach Nelson Acosta.

And the Lithuanian believes his side can still make it a successful season.
"There are eight league games left and we should not lose sight of the fact we could have a great season, one of the best in Hearts' history," he said.
"There will be no huge changes. But, like every coach, I do have some of my ideas and I will implement these."
Ivanauskas had assisted John McGlynn when George Burley was sacked earlier in the season, when it was stressed that the Lithuanian would not be a candidate for the job eventually handed to Rix.
However, McGlynn this time will assist the 39-year-old, who has been appointed until the end of the season after Rix was axed by Lithuanian-based businessman and Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov.
Ivanauskas will meet the players on Thursday, having spoken briefly to them following the news of the Englishman's departure.
"I hope the players understand the situation," he said.
"I hope they will realise what a big chance that they have this season.
"Everyone understands that we have some very important games coming up, including the Scottish Cup semi-final against Hibs."
Ivanauskas, who played for Zalgiris Vilnius, CSKA Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow and Austria FK, became the first Lithuanian footballer to play in Germany's Bundesliga when he signed for Hamburg in 1993.
The striker, capped 28 times for Lithuania, went on to play for Salzburg, St Polten, Wilhelmshaven and Cloppenburg before moving on to coaching.
He led Vilnius-based FK Vetra to an Intertoto Cup victory over Hibernian while also undertaking the role of assistant manager with the Lithuanian national side.
Ivanauskas became head coach with Lithuanian champions FBK Kaunas in 2004, leading them to another league title and victory in their national cup final.
However, he was dismissed by the club sponsored by Romanov's bank after a poor start to the 2005 season and this season was brought in to assist with coaching at Tynecastle.
He took charge on a day when Hearts fell 17 points behind Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic after 19 games under Rix, during which they won nine games, drew six and lost four.
They remain six points ahead of Rangers and Ivanauskas could yet take the post full time should he win the race for the second Champions League qualification spot.
But there has also been renewed speculation that Lothar Matthaus and Hearts fan Graeme Souness, who were linked with the job before their respective sackings by Hungary and Newcastle United, could be interested.

Stochastic National Income
How can national income be adjusted to indicate welfare improvement if the future is uncertain? The present paper extends the definition of national income to stochastic settings on the basis of discounted utilitarian welfare function. Real interest rate of consumption is redefined so that real national income can be interpreted as the expected present value of real interest on future national consumption. A stochastic one-good model is used to illustrate the application of the stochastic real national income. It turns out that under uncertainty real national income may be decreasing even though captial stock is constant or increasing over time

Route 9 Now Open For Lunch; Brunch Starts This Weekend
When we checked in with new Coral Gables restaurant Route 9 a few weeks ago, before it officially opened, owners Jeremy and Paola Goldberg promised full dinner, lunch, and weekend brunch service upon opening. Befitting the independent, casual neighborhood feel of the place, Route 9 opened last week with little hype, but a brisk stream of friends, family, and well-wishers.
Dinners have been busy, and now they've taken the plunge into expanded hours. Lunch officially launched on Tuesday, and this weekend marks the first brunch service.
Like the dinner menu, the lunch menu focuses on well-executed, but fuss-free new American food with a slight Latin flare. Also like the dinner menu, there's a selection of charcuterie and artisan cheese, soups and salads, an offering of small plates, and a handful of a la carte vegetable sides.
Replacing the larger plates, though, are a selection of sandwiches (and other hand-held items, like fish tacos), served with a choice of greens or fries. Besides the requisite burger (with balsamic-marinated mushrooms, provolone, and bacon), highlights include a black bean and chorizo grilled cheese and even a vegan grilled vegetable, arugula, and hummus panini.
Brunch, meanwhile, is served both Saturdays and Sundays. The charcuterie, soups and salads, and small plates return, but bunch-only sweet and savory creations rule here. For egg-lovers, there are some eight different options, including a classic eggs Benedict as well as other twists like chorizo, egg, and cheese tacos with black bean puree and a smoked salmon croque madame.
Sweets sound promising too. Besides Belgian waffles, filled pancakes, and Brioche French toast, the weekend features a changing basket of house-made pastries. This weekend those include blueberry-crumb coffee cake, Nutella Danish, Maple-bacon sticky buns, and cheddar cheese biscuits. That should be enough to beat a hangover into submission.
Route 9 is open continuously Tuesday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; lunch is served until 5 p.m. Same deal on Friday, except the restaurant stays open for dinner until 11 p.m. On Saturdays, brunch is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and dinner follows until 11 p.m. Route 9 is open for brunch only on Sundays from 10 to 5 p.m., and closed on Mondays.

Yes that is true. The 10% penalty does not apply if your husband was age 55 or older during the year that he separated from service and the distribution was made from a qualified plan (401(k), cash balance, etc.). The exception is not available for distributions from an IRA.

Learning and remembering(!) C++
Learning and remembering(!) C++
Sep 22, 2013 at 10:12pm UTC
Hi folks, I hope as many people can post here. I've been learning C++ for about 3 months with Primer 5th (upto chapter 10) and I just have to ask, how the heck you guys remember stuff? I don't really have a problem learning, I usually understand what I read, but when I go to code so many little details I forget. I have to constantly look things up to see if that thing was for this container or that, and so on. I keep .txt notes of crucial things to remember. Especially the syntax of the things and member functions of containers and what operations you can and can't do, especially iterators.
I always feel so crap because of the exercises littered throughout the book. I understand particular stuff, but when I get to these I'm like O.o ??? I have to constantly reread through chapters to refresh my memory especially because you don't use certain features a lot.
I also wonder what stuff you do to practice? I can't really think of programs to do apart from such trivial stuff forcing the use of particular concepts. I've done a calculator of all things maths, which I keep expanding, hangman and an employee statistics DB (all console). I'm tried playing with SFML but things get too complicated and I haven't got into object-orientated stuff much.
Do you guys have methods or advice, was anyone else like me and is good now? Hopefully you can tell me it's going to be hunky dory, because I'm getting stressed. Any kind of encouragement would be grateful because I'm feeling pretty useless with my code now.

Typically, I learn by teaching. This sounds somewhat paradoxical, but it's very effective for me. Let's say you read something which you feel you understand. Now, put the book aside (and don't look at it), take out a piece of paper, and write down everything you think you know about this particular concept. Even if you're not sure, or you know you're wrong, write it down anyways. The idea is that you're pretending to write a PHD or some exceptionally knowledgeable document.
Once you've got nothing left to write, take a look back at the book, and see where you went wrong. For me this reinforces the things which I thought I knew that turned out to be correct. I do this for any of the topics I independently research.
As for exercise, I like to program in a niche that interests me greatly, namely audio and image processing. I try to think about ways to sort of reinvent algorithms or concepts based on fundamentals I'm familiar with, which, when I succeed, is a guarantee that I'll never forget what I just learned.
Sep 23, 2013 at 2:25am UTC
It comes as second nature. Also there is
wrong with looking at references. A lot of people read and reread them often. The more you experiment with things and try multiple methods to solve problems the better you learn also.
Sep 23, 2013 at 4:55am UTC
It comes as second nature
after you practice.
The more you practice using a concept or tool, the better you'll remember it. The same goes for pretty much every field.
I also wonder what stuff you do to practice?
Considering you have exercises in your book, just start with those. Even if you don't understand them completely, just try. Then, if you get stuck, ask for advice/help.
Also there is
wrong with looking at references.
+1 to this.
Whenever you have to use a new concept, you probably will have to refer back to some documentation or reference a lot, but as you continue practicing, the information will stay ingrained in your mind. You will find yourself having to reference things less and less the more you *gasp* practice.
Practice, practice, practice.

Thankyou for the words peeps.
Do you guys think it a bad idea to try learning a library or game engine too while I'm still learning C++? I want to get into some nitty gritty to keep me busy. Ultimately I aim to be a 2D game dev.
Would it be a bad idea trying to learn an engine or library this soon? I'm familiar with functions, classes, containers and the basics. Though I haven't got into OO stuff much yet. I don't know things like inheritance (know the concept), polymorphism, virtual, templates etc.
Sep 24, 2013 at 10:29pm UTC
writing stuff down helps me learn. Say I am learning about a new subject. After reading about it, then I start testing out what I read, I write a research paper on the subject, more code testing after that, Then I try to present it in an oral fashion like I am giving a lecture on the subject from beginning to end to see how much I really know.
Sep 25, 2013 at 12:53am UTC
2d games? Have you tried acionscript 2.0 or 3.0? You can make flash 2d games pretty easy if that is what you are trying to do.
Otherwise no its a lot better to do libraries like sdl or sfml instead of console games.

"I ordered this and it arrived at my door THE NEXT DAY. Best customer service ever and the guests loved these menu cards - they were beautiful! Thank you so much!"
"There was a large amount of information that the designer formatted beautifully. The print is rather small and I'm sure people will be pulling their reading glasses out; with that being said I wanted the entire buffet menu on the card along with the Club name and City,state. They did it."
"The bride to be selected a classic, long, white menu to place in the napkins. Navy printing. Wonderful black and white engagement photo on the back. The quality is superb. The text and images are exquisite. As the mother of the groom, I appreciated the customer service. The text would not fit online, but I made a note about what I needed the menu to say and the designers had a proof ready in a day. I used live chat when I had questions. Fast, courteous service, helpful editing. Very accessible. I ordered 10 to test the product and then 220 when the bride to be LOVED them. Highly recommend."
"I love this more in person! I ordered these for a 50th anniversary party and they are lovely. I was concerned that the color would be yellow but it wasn't. It was more of a gold color, perfect for what I was purchasing for. I did cut edges and it turned out beautiful. The proof readers were awesome too. What a great feature to have. Turnaround time was fantastic too. I can't say enough!"
"We used WPD for our wedding invitations and received lots of compliments. So it was an easy decision to use them for all our other paper needs. The menu looked very elegant in the Pearl Shimmer addition and the font went perfect with our romantic theme. Unfortunately, I made an error on the back of the menu and WPD graciously and quickly offered to reprint the correct version at no additional cost. They even rushed the order. I love working with WPD!"

Standard & Poor's has reaffirmed
The ratings agency acknowledged there was now more downside risk than upside risk in the rating, but said it expected BHP would defer or cut its spending on new projects if prices remained low.
"Although its planned capital expenditure remains relatively large at about $US22 billion in fiscal 2013, we believe it can reduce capital expenditure to preserve cash," S&P said. "This flexibility was demonstrated during the global financial crisis in 2009, when the company cut its capital expenditure to maintain credit metrics in line with the rating."
In a briefing with analysts this week, BHP chief executive
S&P said BHP's petroleum business, which is benefiting from a strong oil price, should generate good cash flows and help mitigate the fall in revenue from other divisions.
The ratings agency said the rating would be at risk of a downgrade if it did not conservatively finance its growth strategy, if it undertook a sizeable acquisition of a lower quality asset or if it adopted a more "shareholder-friendly initiative" when commodity prices were weak. That is likely to refer to a sizeable increase in its dividend payments or undertaking a share buyback.

100 Stories of Personal Struggles with the Health Care System You Won't Hear from President ObamaAs the White House has announced that the First Lady will watch the President's health care speech tonight with two people who have had what the White House terms as "struggles" with the U.S. health care system, I remind everyone about our new book, "Shattered Lives: 100 Victims of Government Health Care."
Shattered Lives tells of the struggles 100 people in countries that previously adopted the so-called "public option" (read: government option) on health care have had getting health care services. These are the kind of stories I think we can be confident the President won't reference during his speech tonight.
We are not charging for PDF copies of the book, which readers can download from http://www.nationalcenter.org/
Why not download a copy now, and email it to any of your friends or family or are on the fence about the impact of increasing government control over our health system? Or post a link to the book's free downloads page on your Facebook page or blog?
Remember, folks: Government-run health care guarantees you health insurance -- it doesn't guarantee health care.

Out on yet another leg of their promotional tour, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman were spotted in Tokyo, Japan earlier today (February 26) for the premiere of "Australia."
She's no stranger to swanky black tie events, and last night (January 23) Nicole Kidman was right at home hamming it up at the G'Day Australia Black Tie Gala.
The "Eyes Wide Shut" actress schmoozed with party guests, including her "Australia" director Baz Luhrman at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, and even gave a speech at the event.
They say artists can be their own worst critics, and that's definitely the case with Nicole Kidman. In a recent interview she spoke candidly about her disappointment with her performance in "Australia."
The "Moulin Rouge" actress says it was hard for her to even watch the movie, and only attended the premiere in order to support her director/friend Baz Luhrman.
Reunited on the promotional trail for their new movie "Australia," Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman teamed up for an appearance on the German TV show "Wetten Dass" at Neue Messe Stuttgart on Saturday (December 13).
The "Eyes Wide Shut" actress arrived at the Stuttgart Airport just prior to the show, heading directly to the make-up artist to get herself prepared for her TV appearance following a flight from London.
She's been enjoying her time in London as she's been in town to premiere her new film "Australia." And after last night's Leicester Square shindig, Nicole Kidman opted for some English night life.
She's been all over the world promoting her new film "Australia" and earlier today Nicole Kidman was spotted arriving in Rome, Italy ahead of tomorrow night's big premiere.
Just hours after arriving in town, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman were back out promoting their epic movie "Australia" in Madrid, Spain on Tuesday (December 2).
Continuing along with their movie-promoting travels, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman have officially arrived into Madrid, Spain.
The "Australia" co-stars were accompanied by their respective families, getting ready for the upcoming Spanish premiere of their epic film.

WINTER MORNING WALKS – Winner of 3 GRAMMY Awards (vocal, engineering, classical composition)
liner notes
Composed by Maria Schneider
Poems by Ted Kooser
Written for and performed by the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Dawn Upshaw, Jay Anderson (bass), Frank Kimbrough (piano) & Scott Robinson (alto clarinet & bass clarinet)
1. Perfectly Still This Solstice Morning
2. When I Switched On a Light
3. Walking by Flashlight
4. I Saw a Dust Devil This Morning
5. My Wife and I Walk the Cold Road
6. All Night, in Gusty Winds
7. Our Finch Feeder
8. Spring, the Sky Rippled with Geese
9. How Important It Must Be
It's uncanny how much these stunningly beautiful poems feel like home to me, connecting with my southwest Minnesota roots at so many different levels. There's nothing to explain about this music, except to say it was very hard to pick which poems from Ted Kooser's Winter Morning Walks I would choose. These poems were originally titled with the date, for instance Perfectly Still This Solstice Morning was titled December 21, Clear and five degrees. I changed the titles, as the dates were no longer chronological once musical considerations for song ordering entered the picture. But it did feel natural to open with the poem he wrote on the winter solstice, and to close with the poem he wrote on the vernal equinox to bookend Winter Morning Walks.
In writing this piece, I wanted to wrap Dawn in the improvisations of three very special musicians I've each worked with for over twenty years: Jay Anderson, Frank Kimbrough and Scott Robinson. Not everything they played is improvised, but if you hear something that makes you smile or gives you a little shiver, chances are, it's coming from their individual creative voices. They've been making me smile and shiver for two decades now. In watching everyone work, it was also very clear that the three of them, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Dawn, all mutually loved working together.

English Translations of Carlos Drummond de Andrade poetry by Mark Strand
Written for & performed by The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra & Dawn Upshaw
Conducted by Maria Schneider
10. Prologue
11. The Dead in Frock Coats
12. Souvenir of the Ancient World
13. Don't Kill Yourself
14. Quadrille
My entry into the world of Drummond came through Mark Strand's beautiful translations. Drummond's poetry immediately struck me as deeply Brazilian, and Brazil is a country for which I've long felt such an affinity. Touches of Brazil have influenced my composition ever since my first visit to Rio almost fifteen years ago. In the first introductory song, Prologue, Dawn sings purely vocalese (wordless vocals), something I've grown to love through Brazilian music. Sometimes she's in the forefront and sometimes she sings countermelodies.
In setting poems to music, the poems themselves speak the rhythm, etch the melodic contour, and emotionally elicit the harmony. I did not attempt to turn these Brazilian poems into Brazilian music. The second song, The Dead in Frock Coats, stretches out with slow melancholy, feeling the expanse of time as it inches to the final powerful line, "the everlasting sob of life." The poem Souvenir of the Ancient World is a jewel that reminds us of a simplicity in life that I think we all long for. In it, I saw Dawn in all her realness and beauty, just as Clara appears in the poem. The poem Don't Kill Yourself brims with over-the-top drama, contradictions, pain, and humor, but there is tenderness, too. When I read this poem, flamenco harmony and buleria rhythms (from the Spanish flamenco tradition) surged up as the voice wanting to express it all. The only poem set with direct Brazilian musical influence is Quadrille. As one of Drummond's most famous poems.

Urination - excessive volumePolyuria
Excessive volume of urination means that you release abnormally large amountsof urine each day. The medical term for this condition ispolyuria.
An excessive volume of urination for an adult is more than 2.5 liters of urine per day.
Polyuria is a fairly common symptom, which is often noticed when you have to get up to use the bathroom at night.
- Diabetes insipidus
- Diabetes mellitus
- Drinking a large amount of fluids, especially fluids that contain caffeine or alcohol
- Kidney failure
- Medications, especially diuretics
- Psychogenic polydipsia (most common in women over age 30)
- Sickle cell anemia
- Tests such as CT scans, that involve injecting a special dye (contrast media) into your vein -- the amount of urine you produce may increase for up to 24 hours afterwards
Home Care
If you are concerned about the amount you urinate, keep track of the following every day:
- How much you drink
- How often you urinate and how much urine you produce each time
- How much you weigh (use the same scale every day)
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your doctor if you have excessive urination over several days, and it is not explained by medications or an increase in fluids.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
- Time pattern
- For how long have you noticed this problem?
- Do you produce the same amount of urine every day?
- At what time of day does the problem seem worse?
- Quality
- What color is your urine?
- Do you have blood in your urine?
- How many times each day do you urinate? What about at night?
- Do you have any problems controlling your urine?
- Factors that make the problem worse
- What makes the problem worse?
- Does drinking large volumes of fluid make you produce more urine?
- Factors that make the problem better
- Does anything help relieve the problem?
- Does limiting fluid reduce your urine volume?
- Other
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Do you have any pain or burning when urinating?
- Do you have back or abdominal pain?
- Have you had a fever?
- Is bedwetting a problem?
- What medications do you take?
- Do you have a family history of diabetes or kidney problems?
- Have you had a past urinary tract infection?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Dietary factors
- How much do you drink every day?
- How much caffeine do you have each day?
- How much alcohol do you drink each day?
- How much salt do you use each day?
Tests that may be done include:
- Blood sugar (glucose) test
- Blood urea nitrogen test
- Creatinine (serum)
- Electrolytes (serum)
- Fluid deprivation test (limiting fluids to see if the urine volume decreases)
- Osmolality blood test
- Urinalysis
- Urine osmolality test

Artists Can't Be Real Because the Fans Aren't
First off, I don't blog. This is the first time that I've ever felt compelled to contribute my thoughts in a public forum, such as this publication.
Well… That's not ENTIRELY true.
You see, I responded via XXLMag.com a couple of years ago, after seeing a YouTube video of Jim Jones and his crew running from Junior M.A.F.I.A. at a Rucker's game (in Harlem! Jones' home! JM, of course, is from Brooklyn!). This was at the height of Jimmy "throwing rocks at the throne" of BK's own, S. Carter. You will see the relevance of this introductory paragraph as I continue with my summary on the topic: "The importance of on-the record lyrical battles."
Before I go in, let me apologize, because in my summation, I will also touch on the "realness" (or lack thereof) in today's hip-hop. I know that I'm supposed to pick one topic or the other, however, you can't talk about one without involving the other.
Let us begin…..
In the first paragraph, I stated that I don't blog and I don't, for several reasons. One main reason is because of the era that I come from. You see, I come from a time when you don't talk about it, you BE about it, and, as stated in "The Real Street Issue" of XXL, there are way too many "Internet gangstas" out there who take it too far on these blogs but wouldn't bust a grape in a REAL fruit fight. And there, I think lies (at least part of ) the problem: the fans of today's hip-hop.
In Shyne's interview of editor, Vanessa Satten, part of the debate was, are the fans what they used to be? The undeniable answer is, "No." Like the culture itself, fans have changed. In the era that I came up in, the late '80s and '90s, it was about "keeping it real," which basically meant you couldn't talk about it if you ain't live it. In the streets, if you "faked jacks," you got checked. This spilled over into the music and therefore put some integrity in the game. Sucka MC's got checked on the regular, just as a sucka n***as got checked in the streets for faking jacks. The environment of that era, the struggle, forced n***as to grind and the hustle to survive became the hunger to be the best, the flyest, the realest. That era produced a lot of legendary street hustlers and there, of course, was competition. You had to have the flyest whip; the flyest chain; the flyest clothes; the baddest chick! This too, paralleled the music (i.e., who's the dopest MC?). It wasn't just to have bragging rights, it was more about respect. Respect for the struggle, respect for the art, and the respect of being lyrically supreme.
The Bible states that the generation in latter days would be "weaker but wiser." In this world of "high-speed" Internet and "instant messaging," everything is "right now." This microwave society has produced a lot of overnight sensations that did not have to go through any type of struggle to get on or prove themselves. So why bother themselves with a battle? It's obvious that lyrics are not important in today's hip-hop, therefore there is no need to prove who is lyrically supreme.
Ultimately, it is the fault of the fans, because, by supporting the music of rappers like Waka Flocka Flame and Soulja Boy, whose beats are bangin' but raps are nursery rhyme, we're saying that we don't care about lyrical content. Therefore no need for battles of lyrical supremacy, thus the competitiveness, and ultimately the art form, suffers. No wonder when a Rick Ross comes along, who's lyrical but whose background is questionable, we embrace him! We are lyrically starved and rap battles ensured that not only were we fed but fed with substance. That's why rap battles are important.
'Nuff said. —Biggstshombe

Second time aboard - still nice suprises : Celebrity Solstice Cruise Review by flufdogs
Overall Member Rating
Second time aboard - still nice suprises
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
This time around we booked in Celebrity's Aqua-class. We really didn't spend a lot of time researching what Aqua-class was so we were in for many pleasant surprises. First of all when we arrived at the port we followed the long cattle line for only a short while until one of the crew members reviewed our boarding pass. He said "Your with me, please come this way" as he escorted us out of the line over to a specially marked line that bypassed probably several hundred other passengers. We were on-board within 15 minutes after arriving at the port. When checking in the person told us that we should check out the special reception for us at the spa first.
We were greeted with mimosas and champagne as we came aboard and met More with a sincere crew that seemed happy to have us on board. There was nothing fake about them. We made a bee line for the spa reception only to realize, after asking for the reception, that it was actually only the traditional spa tour so we were a bit confused about the reception.
The Solstice still seems brand new. The rooms and the rest of the ship gives you the impression that it hasn't been used yet. The maintenance crew was always tending to little details so that no finishes seemed damaged, scuffed or otherwise worn. We noticed one member paying special attention to the molding where the carpet meets the wall; I wasn't sure what exactly he was doing but he was carefully adjusting the molding with a small tack hammer and seemed very meticulous with what he was doing.
We stayed on the 11th floor which is adjacent to the spa. See my comments on the room itself.
Favorites on the ship:
The Molecular Bar: we enjoyed this particular feature of the ship in which they make these wonderful cocktails from generally all natural ingredients including Roses, cloves and a large variety of other things including nitrogen. They display all the ingredient on the bar so when you walk by or are sitting at the bar you get all the wonderful smells of spices etc. The first time we were on this ship the Bartender was a woman by the name of Ana. We were so hoping that she would be there; she was so into her craft and loved explaining to us what and why she was doing what she did. I am so happy to report that we were greeted by a new bartender by the name of Goksel who goes by the name of "G." He was cheerful, friendly and just as much into what he did as Ana. We went there every night. The drinks are $12 each but they really are outstanding. There are several times during the cruise when after 10PM you can buy one get a second one for half off. We even took a class on how to make the cocktails. This bar is located right in the art gallery. Most do not discover this bar until later in the cruise. By the fourth night it gets busy so if you visit it early on in the cruise "G" can give you more special attention. "G's" backup Molecular chef is "Stan" who was also very nice and an excellent bartender.
The Captain:
Captain Gerry is clearly well loved and respected by the Solstice crew. He presents well and exudes confidence. He is also a very talented guitar player and singer. He also appeared in two shows singing and playing guitar.
Daily Deliveries to the room including: bottled water, fresh fruit, canapes and fruit infused water. The brochure on this class promises a pillow menu and a room aroma menu; we never saw either but there were plenty of pillows and there was a lemongrass scented diffuser. Champagne was delivered one evening along with a cheese-plate. Unlimited access to the aroma therapy steam room, sauna and Persian terrace. A pair of binoculars, beach bags, bathrobes and slippers were in the room for us. Exclusive access to the Blu Dining room. Blu is a specialty restaurant that has its own chef and provides a more intimate and "less rushed" alternative to the main dining room. The food is great. As a matter of fact, the night before we were to board we had dinner at Shula's in Ft Lauderdale. We had a fillet Mignon there and it was so good that we were afraid it would ruin our cruise food experience. To our surprise we were offered a fillet Mignon in Blu and it was definitely better; we could cut it with a spoon and oh so tasty. The best part of Blu is that the portions are "correct" and you don't feel like you are going to explode after eating. You feel more than satisfied but not sick.
Stateroom Attendant: "Steve" was our stateroom attendant. He greeted us by name before even seeing us near our room. I believe the magic trick here is that they send the boarding pictures up the the stateroom attendants. As was our previous experience the stateroom attendant seemed to anticipate how we "live" in our stateroom. Our ice bucket was always filled once he realized I love ice water. We've cruised at least 10 times and Celebrity's stateroom attendants are the best.
Celebrity's approach on hand sanitizing:
Excellent. They greet every person as they enter an eating area with a Purel dispense. There are Purel stands at each entrance but they actually also have personnel there to proactively dispense hand sanitizer. This is a great approach. We heard that other ships, that were also in the area got hit with the Norovirus; those ships also did not actively push the hand sanitizer. I don't know if it was intentional on Celebrity's part but at the Ocean View Cafe the pans/containers they use to serve the food from are small so they are always being changed and freshened up; we thought this may have helped to keep things from being handled too many times.
Very few negatives but there are a few: menus for the restaurant were never updated on the iTV system, evening room service at times took hours..even after calling to make sure we hadn't been forgotten and this was not the case the last time we were on this ship (morning room service was always pronto). Food was always hot or cold as it was supposed to be. Excursion booking on the iTV system never seemed to work.
We've cruised most of the bigger lines but this last Celebrity cruise will make us loyal to them from now on. Less

Cabin review: A21512 AquaClass
Room 1512 in Aqua-class. Why oh why did they locate the treadmills over the staterooms. They were not directly over our room but probably over room 1514. We were on this ship a couple of years ago and the treadmills were closer to the bow of the ship. I understand that if they were over the bow of the ship they would be over the spa's treatment room. Stateroom itself looked brand new. The Hansgrob Shower Panel is awesome; if you don't have a bathtub then this shower system is the thing to have. Room is outstanding and attendants are great. Great lighting system that you could dim and turn off from your bed. Well appointed room and a great value for the money.Read All AquaClass (A2) Reviews >>

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is an American hip hop group from Cleveland, Ohio. It consists of rappers Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone and Flesh-N-Bone. American West Coast rapper Eazy-E, former member of rap group N.W.A, signed Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to Ruthless Records in late 1993, when Bone Thugs debuted with their EP Creepin on ah Come Up. The EP included their breakout hit single "Thuggish Ruggish Bone".
In 1995, the group released its second album, E. 1999 Eternal, which included hits "1st of tha Month" and "East 1999". A tribute to then-recently deceased Eazy-E, titled "Tha Crossroads", won a Grammy award in 1997.The Art of War, the group's third album, was also released in 1997. Bone Thugs is the only group that has worked with all four deceased artists 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Eazy-E and Big Pun while they were still alive. The editors of About.com ranked them #12 on their list of the "25 Best Rap Groups of All Time",] and MTV called them "the most melodic hip-hop group of all time".
In 2000, BTNHResurrection reached platinum in one month, while 2002's Thug World Order received more moderate sales and promotion, going gold and peaking at #3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. After that album, the group went on hiatus from their label and released their sixth studio album, Thug Stories, independently in 2006. In 2007 they had another major-label release, Strength & Loyalty, on Swizz Beatz's label Full Surface Records. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony "officially" returned with their 2010 album Uni5: The World's Enemy, released by their own record label, BTNH Worldwide, with distribution by Warner Bros.
Due to conflicts within the group, longtime members Krayzie Bone and Wish Bone officially left the group in April 2011 to work with their independent label, The Life Entertainment. They would later return, officially re-unifying the group. In August 2013, however, Layzie Bone announced that he would be stepping aside to work more on his solo career. In the same month, BTNH signed with eOne Entertainment (formerly known as Koch Records), who they had previously partnered with to release 2006's Thug Stories.

DOE Deals Another Bad Energy Loan as Beacon Power Files for Bankruptcy

Beacon Power received a nearly $43 million loan guarantee from the government in August 2010
The Solyndra failure has put alternative energy loans in a negative light as of late, and now the financial failure of yet another renewable energy company is here to add insult to injury. Beacon Power has claimed bankruptcy after
receiving government loans
as well.
Beacon Power, which creates flywheels to store power and
increase grid efficiency
by preventing blackouts, filed for bankruptcy protection on Sunday. The company received a nearly $43 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy in August 2010.
More specifically, Beacon Power owes the Department of Energy $39.1 million and the state of Massachusetts $3.45 million. It received these loans because its technology was seen as aiding grid reliability.
Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL), who is leading the recent Solyndra investigation, was quick to attack the Department of Energy with its decision to give not just one bad alternative energy loan, but now two.
"This latest failure is a sharp reminder that DOE has fallen well short of delivering the stimulus jobs that were promised," said Stearns. "Now taxpayers find themselves millions of more dollars in the hole."
The Department of Energy defended its position with Beacon Power, saying that unlike Solyndra, Beacon Power has an operational facility in Stephentown, New York. Solyndra may have closed down completely the day it claimed bankruptcy, but Beacon Power has long term contracts with the Stephentown facility as well as cash reserves, which can be used to pay the government back.
"Protecting taxpayer dollars remains the top priority for Secretary [Stephen] Chu and the Department, which is why we were careful to include many protections for the taxpayer in the loan guarantee for the Stephentown project," said Damien LaVere, DOE spokesman.
While analysts such as Walter Nasde of Ardour Capital believe Beacon Power's technology was a good idea,
reports that the company couldn't survive due to the low rates that the government put in place for utilities. In other words, Beacon Power couldn't charge utilities any more than the rates the government set, and it wasn't enough to keep Beacon Power alive.
The low price of natural gas for generating additional power, its failure to attract investors, and an issue with one of its flywheels in July were also listed as nails in Beacon Power's coffin. In addition, Beacon Power's shares, which were down to $3.44 at the end of February and were recently at below $1 a share, led to a notification from NASDAQ that Beacon would be delisted. The company's shares traded for as much as $47.40 in 2005, but closed Monday at 10.7 cents a share, which gives Beacon Power a market value of $3 million.
"The current economic and political climate, the financing terms mandated by DOE, and Beacon's recent delisting notice from NASDAQ have together severely restricted Beacon's access to additional investments through the equity markets," said Beacon Power CEO William Capp.
Beacon Power's revenues from the Stephentown plant were $525,000 in Q2 2011.
Back in September, Capp described the government's role in supporting the construction of the Stephentown plant, and how it would have been impossible without the loan.
"We absolutely couldn't have done it without
support from the government
, because no one was willing to do it," said Capp. "The projects are so huge, that's the problem. If you demonstrate an energy technology on a grid scale, that's $100 million."
The Beacon Power bankruptcy echoes
Solyndra's recent failure
, which is a solar panel manufacturer that received $535 million in loan guarantees back in 2009. Solyndra filed for bankruptcy two months ago, and there is an investigation looking into whether DOE properly assessed the risks before giving the loan and whether the Obama administration was pushing the loan despite risks in order to meet political deadlines.

"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Mortgage maven Christopher Cruise summarizes yesterday's housing conference in D.C.:
My overall impression of the conference is that there will be changes and that maybe, maybe sometime in the next decade or so, Fannie and Freddie will cease to exist, or their functions will be split and half-retained in government and the other half fully privatized. The quasi-public/private role that they played for many years seems to be dead as a doornail. No one seemed to be receptive to that model being revived.
Whatever changes there are will be incremental and evolutionary. I didn't get the sense that the fix was in, that Treasury had already decided what to do about Fannie/Freddie, although it was pretty clear that eliminating them was not going to happen, at least not anytime soon. I don't think anyone wants Fannie/Freddie killed immediately, although it is clear that many believe the companies were poorly run in their final years.
The Obama Administration must report to Congress by January 2011 on its plans for Fannie and Freddie, hence this conference as well as a request for comments a few months ago that drew 300 submissions.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said government involvement in the housing market needs to be smaller. He seemed to think government should have some role, but did not indicate what that role would be or how large it would be.
There was a strong conservative point of view, articulated most-strongly by Alex Pollock of the American Enterprise Institute (see his writings on the subject at http://www.aei.org/ra/6 ) that Fannie and Freddie should be privatized. In his comments on a panel, Pollock called for a "private secondary market" that would "avoid market subsidies that increase home prices." He emphasized that the private/public model doesn't work.
Marc Morial, head of the National Urban League, reflected the liberal view that Fannie/Freddie should be preserved as government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs. They "helped to create the American middle class," he told the gathering. He said "housing counseling and homebuyer education works."
Barbara J. Desoer, president of Bank of America Home Loans, was brief. She said the GSEs, if they survive, "should not hold mortgage-backed securities."
Brian Chappelle, a longtime industry observer, said "the housing recovery will continue to be stymied" until borrowers with FICO scores between 620-720 can get mortgage loans.

Facebook Blocker 1.4.1-signed.1-signed Requires Restart
by jmeissner
Disables auto-submitting your data to Facebook
This add-on has been marked as experimental by its developers
This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox because of the following:
About this Add-on
Do you know what the "I like"-Button is? A means of sharing what you like? Yes, true. And what else? A means of saving a near-complete history of your online activities!
Whenever you visit a page that has the "I like"-Button, the button tells FB about that visit. And if you are logged in to FB, FB will be able to save the information that YOU visited THAT PAGE at THAT TIME. And
since you are logged in to FB all the time out of convenience, FB has a complete profile of all pages that you ever visit (i.e of all the pages with this fiendish button, when was the last time you saw a page without?).
Facebook Blocker is a tiny Addon that blocks the flow of information from third-party sites to FB, but still lets you use FB itself and even the "I like"-Button. The only difference is that your data is ONLY submitted the moment you click the button, and not just by only looking at a page.
With Facebook Blocker you can surf the web while being logged-in to FB for convenience, but without FB being able to link the visits of third-party sites to your FB account.
It's very simple and unobstrusive: Any request to facebook.com that originates from a URL other than facebook.com is stripped of all cookies (What is a cookie?).
When you visit a page with "I like"-Button, the button will display normally but will not be able to connect to FB (as a side effect, it will never be greyed out to show that you already liked that page, but don't be tricked, you can't like twice :-).
When you click the button a small window will open. And since this window technically originates from facebook.com, cookies will be sent to FB and the window will fullfill your "Like-request" and close iself again.
All in all, this addon disables auto-submitting data to FB if you just visit a page. But if you decide to like that page, you will need not a single click more than usual.
Any questions? Just ask...

THEY were called the heroes of 9/11 — the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre as they fought to rescue those trapped in New York's Twin Towers.
And as those brave men were remembered a year to the day after the terror attacks which changed the world, standing shoulder to shoulder with colleagues in a trans-Atlantic show of solidarity was Bolton firefighter Ian Bailey.
Mr Bailey had made a personal decision to mark the first anniversary at Ground Zero to remember those who lost their lives.
He had previously met firefighters from New York, one of whom had been seriously injured while attending to casualties in the World Trade Centre.
But when he stood with thousands of firefighters remembering those who had lost their lives — including 343 from the New York Fire Department — the father-of-three was representing all of Greater Manchester firefighters at the special ceremony held where the Twin Towers once stood in Lower Manhattan.
Mr Bailey, borough commander for Bolton, said: "I was proud to have been there.
"It was eerie as the VIPs went down the ramp into the hole. As they did, they were momentarily lost in clouds of dust which swept up due to the breeze. "A firefighter said to me that the weather on the first anniversary was exactly the same as it was a year ago.
"While I stood there, it was hard to comprehend the events that had happened."
Mr Bailey spent four days in New York, staying at Engine Company 4, Ladder 15, where he was reunited with firefighter Joe Torrillo —injured while pulling people from the Twin Towers when one of them collapsed — and colleague Tommy Gogarty.
Their company lost 12 firefighters in 9/11.
Mr Bailey had previously arranged for the two firefighters to come to the UK for a fundraising football match between ex-Manchester United players and former Manchester City stars for families of those firefighters who had been injured or killed in the terrorist attacks.
Mr Bailey said: "After the tragedy, a small amount of money was left at Fire Service Headquarters where I was based at the time, and through other donations and fundraising events, more than £250,000 was raised for the families of the firefighters who had died or been injured in the terrorist attack."
On the first anniversary, Mr Bailey was one of many firefighters from around the world to join the New York Fire Department for the emotional day.
Families of firefighters who had been killed or injured joined them in the station that morning, ahead of the ceremony.
"The captain there told the families that together they could get through the day.
"I think the firefighters did appreciate the support from those who had travelled for the anniversary."
Mr Bailey said there is a special bond between firefighters, no matter where they are based. Similar messages of support were sent to Bolton when local firefighter Steve Morris was injured while attempting to rescue a family from a house fire.
"The fire service is different to other professions,"
Mr Bailey said.
"There is a genuine interest in how other stations operate elsewhere, but also because of the nature of the work and the risks.
"Every year, firefighters here mark the 9/11 anniversary with a minute's silence."
During his poignant visit to New York, Mr Bailey was presented with a book documenting September 11, from a construction worker.
"It was a big, thick book costing about $55 dollars and he just gave it to me.
That was a personal moment for me," he said.
"I wish there had been no cause to go, but I was pleased to have had the opportunity to go and stand there and pay my respects."

EMU named among "Best in the Midwest" for sixth straight year
YPSILANTI — For the sixth straight year, Eastern Michigan University has received a "Best in the Midwest" designation in the 2009 Best Colleges: Region by Region, published by the PrincetonReview.com.
Schools are selected based on academic excellence and survey information from students attending each school.
"This is recognition of EMU by the people we serve – the students," said Susan Martin, president of EMU. "This really speaks to the excellent educational experience that our students receive here."
The Princeton Review divided the United States into four regions: Northeastern, Western, Midwestern and Southeastern. Eastern Michigan University was one of 159 schools selected in the Midwestern region. Overall, 632 colleges were selected.
The survey covered students opinions about academics and majors, student body, and campus life and facilities.
What EMU students said in the survey:
• "'The nursing program, a social work program that 'advocates for social and economic justice and is a great place to learn.'"
• "A popular business program (claiming one in five undergrads) whose administration is very tech savvy and knows that the business world is a changing place; to help us, they have required classes which cover almost every business aspect from accounting to communication, management and computer-oriented classes."
• "The curriculum is designed to serve real people learning through discussion and interaction, and taking advantage of opportunities for education beyond the classroom, whether it's through involvement in a student organization, attending diversity programming or volunteering. There always is an opportunity to make a difference, and it is truly an empowering experience."
• "With one in four students pursuing an education degree, Eastern Michigan University is very much a teaching university known for teaching future teachers. This emphasis sometimes overshadows Eastern's other strengths, which students said include 'all the different science disciplines from biology to zoology."

Eastern Michigan University is a public, comprehensive university that offers programs in the arts, sciences and professions. EMU prepares students with the intellectual skills and practical experiences to succeed in their career and lives, and to be better citizens.
