World's First HD 1080p Helmet Cam
World's First HD Helmet Cam
good to go Review by nic
Great camera, awesome picture, it takes a little when going in and out of the sun to adjust for the light conditions. As for the wind noise, just use a cap froma bic pen to put over the mike. I notice the record button gets a little sticky with use in dusty conditions. Overall great design and very versatile, long battery life, easy to charge with mini usb, using your car phone charger or laptop. I give it 4+ because there's always room for improvement!

Great Picture Quality Review by CR Scoob
The video quality is great! So smooth, clear and crisp! It's easy to operate and is so light you don't even know it's there. The sound is still a problem when it's windy or when you get on the open road but on tight trails or when not moving, the sound is great. I attached a piece of foam with 2-sided tape (with small hole so not to cover the mic hole with tape) and it drastically reduced the wind noise. It also made the wind noise more of a low muffle instead of the loud sharp "crackling", which I find offensive to the ears.
If I was to use the stick-on mount, I would attach the tether to the helmet, and not the stick-on mount so you don't end up like the guy in the first review. I used the goggle mount and found it to work pretty good. They should have shaped both mounts to fit the curvature of helmets tho. I stuck some rubber on the ends (helmet side) of the goggle mount to make it contoured to sits firmly on the helmet without chance of movement or "rocking". This worked very well.
I have used the camera 4 times now and I'm very happy with it. One ride we were caught in a BIG rainstorm and the ContourHD worked well. No ill effects from all the water and when the picture was obscured by a raindrop, it cleared within 5-10 seconds.
I use a Transcend 16GB micro SDHC class 6 memory card. The only thing to remember is to power the ContourHD ON, prior to connecting it to your PC. Otherwise, it won't recognize the camera on the PC.
I completely endorse this helmet camera and for the money, you cant beat the quality. PLUS: NO WIRES!!! I think if VholdR spends a little time on their mounting systems, and offered a optional clear lens protector that could be easily replaced when scratched, or damaged, I would be completely satisfied with this product. If not for the mounting issues, I would give the ContourHD a 5 out of 5! (Posted on 6/26/09)
Great cam, BUT Review by Victory
You won't get it any better for a wireless cam in HD.. HD is mind blowing..
The BUT, well let me say, DO NOT DEPEND ON THE STICKY that holds the cam MOUNT onto the helmet, there are other people I have talked to had the very same problem. My Contour fell off some where on the road while recording never to be found again, I now own a sticky that's still attached to my helmet... (Posted on 6/18/09)

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 6, No. 0024. Saturday, 14 January, 1995.
Date: Friday, 13 Jan 95 20:37:28 EST
Subject: Keanu's Review
SHAKSPEReans may be interested to know that the production of *Hamlet* starring
Keanu Reeves at the Manitoba Theatre Centre in Winnipeg opened last night. I
heard one report on the Canadian Broadcasting Company radio program
"Morningside," hosted by Peter Gzowski, and the CBC reporter he talked to gave
the review a positive notice, although from the various vocal inflections and
other sorts of non-verbal clues in her voice I did not sense a security in that
notice. I sensed she liked the show, but she didn't quite know why she did, as
if she hadn't seen enough Shakespearean productions to really have a frame of
reference from which to judge the work. She also reported that the reviewer
from the London *Times* "gushed" over it, while the Manchester *Guardian*
critic was less than enthusiastic. She also reported that the general reviews
seemed to be mixed; Reeves got high marks for the physicality of the role but
poor marks for the "dramatic" sections. No sense of how well he played the

"Divergent" is not all that different from the rest
Even with two more movies still left in the "The Hunger Games" saga, Lionsgate and its various media allies have wasted no time primping and preening "Divergent" into Katniss' successor.
The studio seems convinced they have a hit – the budget was doubled to $80 million, and a sequel is already on the schedule for next year – even if it's hard to tell where the self-generated hype ends and the actual audience excitement begins.
With so much seemingly riding on "Divergent," it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the much ballyhooed Veronica Roth YA adaptation feels so carefully … managed. The film feels very much like the nervous first step of a wannabe franchise, exactingly crafted to keep built-in fans appeased and potential new fans moderately engaged without any edge, creativity or personality offending or scaring anyone off.
Considering the story is already a Frankenstein of familiar parts, some personality is just what the doctor ordered. Without that, there's little to separate "Divergent" from the rest of the recent fledgling YA movie knock-offs other than a loud vote of confidence from the studio and an even louder marketing department.
Shailene Woodley stars as 16-year-old Katniss Tris (we're not even being subtle about this, are we "Divergent"?), a young anxious teenager growing up in a dystopian Chicago, fenced in after a vaguely referenced war left the city in shambles. In order to maintain peace, society has been separated into five districts factions: Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite, Candor and Amity (selfless, brave, smart, honest and peaceful in case you haven't read a thesaurus lately). Right on the brink of adulthood, Tris and the rest of the city's teens must decide which faction they will choose.
Most select the faction they were born into, but Tris – born into an Abnegation family – doesn't feel the strong pull toward a life of modesty and service. Making matters worse is her results on her aptitude test, a futuristic mental SAT that is supposed to help clarify one's fate (though choosing to follow the results is optional, so what's the point?). In Tris' case, however, the results point to three different factions, making her Divergent and a danger to the carefully organized society. She's told by her test giver (Maggie Q) to keep her results a secret for her own safety.
When the sorting hat (nope) Reaping (try again) Choosing Day rolls around, Tris picks the energetic soldier daredevils of Dauntless, much to the shock of her parents. She's soon whisked away to train for the city's military under the vicious eye of her teacher – and Macklemore clone – Eric (Jai Courtney) and the swooning eye of studly Four (Theo James).
It's not enough that she must battle her own personal problems, like literally fighting up the ranks of her fellow trainees, battling a bully (Woodley's "The Spectacular Now" co-star Miles Teller, wasted in an one-dimensional role) and keeping her Divergent-ness a secret. Soon, she finds herself, her friends and her family embroiled in a coup organized by Erudite and their cold, calculated leader (Kate Winslet).
"Divergent" gets off to a strong start, with director Neil Burger (who directed the Bradley Cooper Adderall thriller "Limitless") quietly bringing the audience into the futuristic dystopia with impressive swooping shots through the overgrown ruins of Chicago and the society in action. It's a promising start, building a world through solid visuals and immersion.
It's a short-lived rush, though. Seemingly afraid of losing any newcomers in the crowd, moody voiceover from Tris soon chimes in to explain the world, its origins and its castes.
And what a profoundly silly concept this caste/faction system is. Apparently inspired by President Business from "The Lego Movie" and his desire for everything to be neat, tidy and organized, citizens can only be, or at least focus on, one of the five faction traits. You are only capable of being brave or selfless or smart or kind or honest, and they are represented in the most dopily obvious ways on screen.
Candor say harshly honest things, then say, "I'm a Candor; what do you expect?" Dauntless can only seem to run everywhere, and when they're not running, they're jumping on and off of moving trains, hooting and hollering like banshees. They call it brave; I call it dumb. I suppose that's what happens when you don't allow people to be smart and brave.
"I want to be brave and selfless and smart and kind and honest," Four laments near the middle of "Divergent." What society wouldn't want that? What society would see fully rounded people not as a benefit to society and something to be embraced, but something to be feared? And isn't there significant overlap between being selfless and being kind? Or being selfless and brave? And aren't there more character traits than merely five?
It's an incredibly clumsy conceptual stumbling block for any viewer trying to get into the story, and it only gets more goofy as the convoluted "Hunger Games"-lite political drama slowly becomes the plot's focus. It's meant to be a social allegory, most glaringly about the dangers of conformity, college fears and just a dash of discussion about human nature. But it really serves as a delivery device for bland teenage angst, something the script from Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor is far too happy to oblige.
Blunt, flavorless lines like "Don't try and define me," or "I don't know where I belong" (complete with dramatic hair cutting) might've rung better if there were some interesting characters attached to them, but most of the cast is stuck playing generic types, making it hard to care when some of them start getting the ax.
It's not for lack of effort in the performances. Woodley is a fine lead, convincingly both strong and insecure; it's too bad she's stuck playing dull B-grade Katniss. James surprisingly makes the biggest impact. He actually has the most interesting character, coping with a dark family secret that, with just a couple of steely glances, becomes more interesting than the entire big dramatic battle plot. Winslet makes for an amusingly icy villain too – less, once again, because of the script and more because it's Kate Winslet in rare non-prestige mode.
Burger does his best too to bring some color to "Divergent" as well. The film moves, and it's exciting to watch his camera breathlessly explore post-war Chicago. Even if the mental test sequences feel like a creative step-down from his manic work in "Limitless," his tilting, seemingly spiraling lens keeps things interesting. Overall, he snags more tension than you'd expect from fairly typical material, and it's to his credit that the movie never becomes a chore.
There have certainly been worse YA adaptations – even just this year – but the film constantly feels like the kind of project where you imagine "entertain," "tell an interesting story" and "develop compelling characters" were right below "avoid complaints" on its list of priorities (though I think they'd have to rework the whole faction/trait system to pull that off). "Divergent" gets the job done, but that's about all it does.

The faculty travel program, administered by the Office of the Dean for Academic Affairs, is intended to support the instructional purposes of the College by enabling faculty members to participate regularly in meetings of learned societies.
The allowance is $1,200 for each benefits-eligible faculty member. As in previous years, those who give papers or serve as panelists may request reimbursement of 100% of all eligible expenses, up to the maximum; others may request 80%.
Faculty participating at either a conference held outside the U.S. or more than one conference in an academic year (July - June) are eligible to request an $800 supplement to their travel allotment (bringing the total funding to $2,000.) For supplemental funds please complete the Travel Enhancement Request Form. This form must be submitted prior to the travel that will be funded by the supplement.
Faculty members may also submit proposals to the Faculty Development Committee to support conference travel in excess of what is available from the dean's office.
Faculty members in the instructional ranks may apply to the dean's office for reimbursement of conference travel expenses under the following conditions (prior approval is not required):
- Benefits-eligible faculty members in the instructional ranks will have an annual travel allowance of $1,200. For faculty who do not request additional funding, the unexpended balance of their travel allowance in year 1 may be applied to eligible expenses in year 2, with a maximum of $2,400 per year. Travel allowances are not transferable.
- Those who present papers, serve as discussants or panelists, or participate as officers or members of association committees may request reimbursement of up to 100% of their expenses for any trip. Others may request 80% of the total.

Requesting Reimbursement
- Faculty members should request reimbursement using Certify. Please use the faculty conference code which is 220040 and select the appropriate faculty conference account code. This account code will prompt you to select either 100% or 80% eligibility. The mileage rate for travel after January 1, 2017 is $0.535. The College requires that all expenses over $50 be documented by an itemized receipt. Those traveling by air should attach to the reimbursement form the original passenger receipt for your flight, even if direct-billed by Hurley Travel. To the extent possible, please submit all expenses for a conference on a single Certify report, separate from other non-conference expenses.
- Requests for reimbursement are to be made within 60 days from the date of the expense(s), and in all cases must be received in the same fiscal year in which the conference takes place. Trips that straddle fiscal years may be reimbursed in either year.

Penas Honored by the NEC
College Field Hockey
Rider's Penas NEC Player of the Week
SOMERSET--Junior Sandra Penas (Barcelona, Spain) of the Rider University field hockey team was named the Northeast Conference Player of the Week for all games the last week of September it was announced Monday afternoon.
Penas had a nine-point week (four goals and an assist) as Rider (7-3) split two games, losing at 14th ranked Lafayette 3-1 (September 25) before defeating Lehigh on September 30 by an 8-0 score.
"Sandra showed a passion for scoring on Sunday," head coach Lori Hussong said about the Lehigh game. "Her ability to get in the circle and make something happen was evident in her offensive output."
Against the Leopards, Penas prevented the Broncs from being shutout as she scored the only Rider goal in the game.
Against the Mountain Hawks, Penas scored a hat trick (three goals) and added an assist for a seven-point day as she moved into seventh place on Rider's all-time scoring list with 105 points (43g, 19a).
This was Penas' third career hat trick with the two prior ones coming in games against the University of Pennsylvania (September 6, 2010 and October 26, 2011).
Penas has scored in five of the last six games and leads the Broncs with nine goals and 21 points.
Penas leads the NEC and is 14th nationally in goals and 16th in points.
"Sandra is working hard on developing a variety of shots," Hussong added. "She is improving every day."
This is the second time this season that Penas has earned NEC Player of the Week honors, having been recognized on September 17.
Penas, a Second Team All-Region and First Team All-NEC honoree, was the 2011 NEC Offensive Player of the Year as a sophomore after earning NEC Rookie of the Year honors in 2010.
Rider hits the road for four straight games, taking on Columbia in New York on Wednesday before opening NEC play at Robert Morris on Sunday.

Nonresidents and Part-Year Residents
You are considered a nonresident if you are legal resident of another state. A nonresident is required to report income received from services performed in North Carolina or from tangible property located in this State. You are a part-year resident if you moved to North Carolina and became a resident during the tax year or you moved out of North Carolina and became a resident of another state. Part-year residents are required to report all income received while a resident as well as income received while a nonresident from services performed in North Carolina or from tangible property located in this State. If you are a part-year resident or nonresident, you must complete Part D, Lines 24-26 of Form D-400 Schedule S (2016 North Carolina Supplemental Schedule) and attach pages 1 and 2 to Form D-400. See page 11, Instructions for Form D-400 Schedule S (Pages 1 and 2) of the 2016 Individual Income Tax Instructions (Form D-401) and complete the Part-Year Resident/Nonresident Worksheet on page 14 to show the computation of North Carolina Income for Part-Year Residents and Nonresidents.
You must include a copy of your federal income tax return with your North Carolina return if your federal return does not show a North Carolina address.
If you filed a joint federal return and one of you was a nonresident of North Carolina who had no North Carolina taxable income, you may file a joint State return. Once you file a joint return, you cannot choose to file separate returns for that year after the due date of the return. However, you still have the option of filing your State return as married filing separately. If you choose to file a separate North Carolina return, you must complete either a federal return as married filing separately reporting only your income, deductions, and exemptions, or a schedule showing the computation of your separate income, deductions, and exemptions and attach it to your North Carolina return. You must also include a copy of your joint federal return unless your federal return reflects a North Carolina address.
Part-year residents who, while they are North Carolina residents, receive income from sources in another state or country that is taxed by another state or country may be eligible to claim a tax credit. Nonresidents are not entitled to tax credits for taxes paid to another state or country.
To order forms D-400, D-400 Schedule S, D-400TC and instructions, call 1-877-252-3052. The forms may also be obtained from a service center or from our Order Forms page.

Reviews for New England Baked Beans
Average Rating
"This recipe was way,way too sweet. You could not taste anything else but that. I would say cut all sugar, molasses and syrup in half."
"Congratulations - finally a baked bean recipe that starts with dried beans and not one that uses canned baked beans! Very good!"
"Based on previous comments, I reduced the brown sugar to 1 c. Still too sweet for our family! Although, overall had a really good flavor. Next time, will play with reducing the brown sugar just a little more and/or replacing half of the ketchup with tomato sauce and see if that suits our taste a little better."
"So delicious. Tastes like my grandmother's."
"I made these in the slow cooker with great results."
"This is the best baked bean recipe using dried beans that I have ever tasted! I usually make it in the crockpot overnight. I will sometimes substitute leftover ham for the bacon. This recipe is foolproof, and freezes well."
"I have used this recipe to make my own Bar-B-Q sauce ever since it was published in Taste of Home. It is the best!I always make it ahead and can it so I have it ready when I need it!Love it!!!"
"Yummy sweet baked beans. Worth the time. I did use less brown sugar (1c) based on previous reviews and it was great. Also didn't take the entire 2.5 hours to reach tenderness."
"Yummy - so fun & easy to make. Probably will use less sugar next time, maybe change up contents once in a while just to be different...thanks Pat."
"I make this recipe but with less sugar, I usually add and taste then add and taste, it is about only 1 cup in the end. I will admit that I am asked to make these beans all the time, I'm asked to make my "famous beans"!!"
"Absolutely NOT New England baked beans.Sorry!"
"Great recipe I only made one change my family doesn't like real sweet beans, so I reduced the brown sugar to one half cup on the second go round and they all thought they were the BEST"
"I am from Vermont and made and ate New England Baked Beans many times, and we NEVER, EVER put ketchup in them. Wow - what a different taste that would be."
"The house smelled yummy when these were in the oven. The sauce is very sweet."
"These are the best baked beans I've ever tasted and my family totally agrees."
"awesome flavor"
"This recipe is EXCELLENT!!! I made them for my 4th of July gathering and everybody raved about them and wanted the recipe. This is my "go to" recipe from now on Thanks, Pat!!!!"
"LOVED these. I did alter it a bit. I used the overnight soak method from the back of the beans pkg (I haven't always had good luck with the boil method). I substituted turkey bacon to cut the fat - diced it & fried it for a few minutes before adding the onion & garlic. Added the rest as instructed (except for reserving bean liquid) and poured it into my little blue roaster (JUST fit). Absolutely fantastic flavor. I'm making these for my daughter's bday and I can't wait for my mom (a great cook) to try them!"
"These beans take some time, but are easy to prepare and worth it. The flavor is wonderful"
"Fantastic! This was my first try at making baked beans from dried beans, and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it and the flavor can't be beat!"
"There's a local beef house that had, until this recipe came along, my favorite beans. Now I can surpass them at home. Outstanding!"
"I prepared this recipe for Easter just as the recipe is written and it was wonderful. My son asked me if I had gotten the baked beans from Steve's Ribs a local barbecue restaurant. All the family enjoyed the beans and I will definitely make them again. Thanks!"
"Would you please post this recipe. Apparently Taste of Home won't allow non American citizens to read it, and I am a subscriber to several TOH magazines. Frustrating!
"This recipe is time consuming but well worth the effort. I have been looking for a great baked bean recipe and this is it. Do not change a thing. Sweet and rich baked beans. Great."

A QUAD biker died from critical head injuries after losing control and hitting a wall, an inquest heard.
Adam Mander, 29, had been drinking, although no toxicology results were presented to reveal how much, when he decided to go for a ride on the road.
He took out a quad bike without a helmet and with tyres not fit for the road and went to Boxted where he clipped the edge of a bridge and was thrown off the bike and into a wall on Saturday, July 21.
He died at Colchester General Hospital on July 23 as a result of his head injuries.
His parents, sister and girlfriend, who attended the inquest in Chelmsford today, heard expert testimony from a crash investigator before coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray recorded a verdict of accidental death.

The coming rental boom and crash of 2009 and other predictions
Author's note March 2010: When writing this I made the mistake of believing the Fed would raise rates in January 2009 as they had said they would. I fear that until the rates are raised we are in the eye of the financial hurricane. When rates do start going up, that should be the harbinger for this article.
List of items in this story
- Overview of the rental boom/crash
- Some notes about other aspects
- What we can do to prevent it
- Other predictions for 2009
- Links to sites talking about this article
(before you lambast me, you might want to read my other articles on the Political Gateway front page. So far every prediction has come true up to the writing of this article)
Political Gateway December 26th, 2008 - These are predictions of what I see coming our way in the year 2009 and part of 2010. On my site, Political Gateway, you can find past articles with economic and political predictions going to 2015. This article primarily focuses on the rental boom/crash, although other predictions are listed also.
This is a very complex issue and is intertwined with so many other issues, it is hard to just concentrate on the rental aspect.
What is a Housing Panic?
A housing panic is in effect for you and your family when a situation demands you move from your current home, either in a very short time or immediately. A housing panic means you need to drop everything else in life and deal with the emergency of finding a place to live, a home. A housing panic will be an 'any means necessary' event in your life to provide shelter for your family.
Anatomy of a housing panic, the rental boom and bust
The year 2009 will see a record number of residential foreclosures. Most of these foreclosures are of investment properties rented to families. 2008 has seen a huge slump in the number of new homes or apartments being built. These two things will lead to the Housing Panic of 2009.
The record number of foreclosures will mean many millions of families are going to be forced to leave their rentals by the action. Each home foreclosed is one less home available for rent and one more family looking for a home. Coupled with the slowdown of new homes not built, the demand for rentals will far outstrip the supply.
Although foreclosures can be sold, it takes time to find a buyer and to make it ready to rent. The massive number of foreclosures will far outpace the investors buying them.
Add on top of this the massive layoffs expected in all sectors in 2009, the prospect for renters to become buyers is not good. This leaves probably 10s of millions of people who will have to move to a rental in the next 12 months.
The Panic sets in
In the case of a foreclosure, a family is forced to move very quickly. Some may get a warning, some may get a 3 day notice, some will come home to find their belongings sitting in the rain or snow. This forces a family to a position of panic. They must, at all costs provide a roof for their family and a place to store their belongings.
Millions of panicked families needing a rental on short notice, even that day, coupled with an ever decreasing supply of homes to rent means only one thing. It means rental prices will skyrocket. A family in peril will do all that it can do to survive. That family will spend savings, will cash in stocks, will even outbid anyone else to get a roof over their kids heads.
Greed brought us to the housing boom, Lender's greed fueling investor's greed. Now, the greed will rear its ugly head in the rental panic and cause a rental boom. Rents will rocket and owners will get picky on who their tenants are. Large deposits, huge rent increases. It is not hard to imagine rentals in large urban 'housing boom' areas to go 2 to 4 times normal rent.
The REO boom begins
During this time, investors will see this as a time to buy the foreclosed properties. Investors will see high enough rental prices to cover the over priced foreclosures. Lenders, finally emptying the coffers of the Treasury and no longer needing to be nice to anyone, will see this as an opportunity to increase foreclosure sales so they can flip them to the investors. This will be the REO boom. An REO is 'Real Estate Owned' by the bank.
Alternative housing booms begin
Also during this time, alternative housing will be the only recourse for those without large savings or great jobs. Alternative housing can range from sleeping in one's office, getting a camper or large vehicle and sleeping in a campground area, or even renting a Motorhome.
Additional alternative housing will be renting of people's yards to camp out or park a motor home or vehicle in. Increases in homelessness will be quite shocking in urban areas. Manufactured homes (mobile homes) will become a savior to many and there will be a Boom in sales. FEMA trailers may rear their ugly heads at this time and be sold to investors. These investors will set up land in urban areas for people to live in those trailers. Due to the horrid landlords, the costs, and the neglect of regulation of these FEMA trailer parks, people will call them 'Obamavilles' as Obama is the President and he let the FEMA trailer problem happen. He should have let them be used for free.
Storage Boom begins
Also during this time, storage units will be at 100%. Moving trucks will be impossible to find. Moving, storage, and truck rental companies will become draconian. They will not give anyone a break and you can expect many people to lose their belongings to these companies. From this you can expect some retaliation in the form of shootings, arson, or other mayhem from people who have lost everything.
The Rental Crash ends the Housing Boom
By the end of the year, enough REOs will be flipped to investors to be able to flood the market with rentals. This amount of available homes, the use of all the alternative housing, and people moving to other more rural areas will cause a great rental price crash.
The rental price crash will bring the REO investors to reality when rents no longer pay their mortages. It will also signal the end of this last bubble of real estate in this era and the final fall to reality of even the most optimistic 'expert'. The housing boom will now end as prices crash to the ground.
Foreclosure boom, again?
The investors who bought those REOs will now be facing foreclosure as people default on the unscrupulous rents. As a tie in to the commercial property bust that will be happening, apartment complexes that raised rents will pay that price and face extreme duress and in some cases violence. People will become squatters as they are unable to pay 3x or 4x normal rents and stop paying.
The 'Un-evictable' Era
Investors who had homes not in duress will find them heading there as the renters stop paying. They got greedy and overcharged for rentals during a depression and will now pay the price. During this time the courts will be slammed with foreclosure and rental eviction claims causing a simple eviction to last 6 months or more. Each tenant will realize they have rights too and the courts will find the landlords never followed the law with respect to the deposits or other simple matters.
And so it finally ends
By the end of the year, the housing panic will be mostly over as people get somewhat settled in and, as a nation, very mobile and ready to move if they have too. The housing market will finally bottom as will the rental market. If you want to buy a home, the end of 2009 might be the time to 'think about looking'. Just wait til the bust is over. Not sure when it is over? Then it is not over. You will know when it really ends.
Other aspects of the rental boom/bust
It is easy to see urban housing boom areas affected more than rural in the rental boom, but as in the housing boom people tended to fan out to the areas outside of those big boom counties. That increased prices everywhere and a rental boom should not be much different.
Zoning codes will make some people become criminals just to sleep with a roof over their heads. This will cause our jails, already over populated, to just be ridiculously filled. There is no need to do this, but you elected your local officials and now we all pay the piper for electing politicians and not leaders. Expect code and zoning violations to be straws on the camel to most people.
Although you may feel fine where you are, your neighborhood could soon have many homes with 10 to 20 people living there. Mostly poor folk too, many out of work. Do you feel safe now?
There should be many booms in all fields regarding storage, moving, temporary housing, etc and they will all crash. This comes with boom scammers too. Be wary, never use cash, ever.
Commercial properties that are hardest hit are the small office buildings. These small offices will be perfect places to store home belongings and even stay in to live. This will just be a reprieve for the investors and a nightmare for renters as the law does not protect them in this type of use of office space.
Animals will be massacred. We kill about 6 million cats and dogs a year in our county shelters. With 10s of millions of displaced families and landlords who refuse pets, you can expect millions of animals abandoned to die in the streets or starve, and many more just dropped off at a county shelter to be killed. I am talking MILLIONS of them. Millions of strays will be heading to die in the shelters too. People who breed animals will just kill them as their business dies. We are a great race of people, aren't we?
What we can do about preventing this
I doubt you are reading this back in 2008 when I wrote it, so it probably already happened. So not much can be done now. There are many things that could help, but I think I am the only one in the universe seeing this coming. Either I am crazy or we are all gonna be blindsided. Not much to do if no one sees the iceberg.
If anyone really wants to know, get me on your radio show or let me talk to your elected official. Otherwise just protect your family as best you can.
Other predictions of 2009
Gold, silver
As in my April 2008 article I said there would be a boom followed by a bust. Right now it appears that boom is about to happen. Companies have been buying gold for the last year and now you see the media starting to really say 'gold to 1200!! gold to 2000!!'. You see the ads to sell your gold, now you will start seeing the ones to allow you to buy it. When you hear the words 'hedge against inflation,' run from gold and silver as fast as you can.
This is a very manipulative time in business and with the Fed dropping rates to zero, and the dollar falling as a result, you can see how this walks us right into a gold boom. By April this should be over and gold will be at 100 to 200 an ounce and silver around 5 an ounce. This should be a quick boom and a very hard bust.
Adding to the continual move from one boom to another, the gold rush people will move their money into the 'real estate' boom of 2009 discussed earlier in this article. Please wake me up when this is over.
Its over, the drilling rights are set up to be used and the land and ocean areas already bid on and sold. The only remaining thing to see is if the new President and congress will stop it. If they try to, you will see oil spike. Other than that oil is done and will start sliding to the 20 dollar and stay there for a while.
Stock Market
We are ending an era that is made up of many things. Since 1995, there was heavy manipulation, mass speculation, massive overall push to use credit instead of cash, and our usual politicians who are elected by the media and business interests. Add all these up and you can see the market start to rocket around 1995.
I would say the credit standard is about to crash. It is the one over riding boom that has held up all these other booms and busts. As people resort to cash and barter, maybe force congress to write credit laws that make sense, and the obvious ramifications of the housing crashes, you can see credit is about to finally go too.
The market was around 4 or 5 thousand back then. Credit became king in the mid 90s and really started going up with the age of the internet. I would say if this credit theory holds water, then the Market would have to crash down to the 5000 mark or close to it.
Into this, you must look at the rental, housing, and commercial property crashes of 2009 as harbingers of people pulling money out of the markets en masse. That should show even more corruption in big business and bring down some invalid business types.
The Fed
They will finally have to raise rates. When they do the chips will start falling where they will. Nothing you can do but hold on, it will be ugly.
The fight will get worse to attack unions as listed in my October article.
Update: January 9th, 2009 - I gotta add, that although the DOW hitting 5000 is predicted, I really get a feeling that a drop to the early 90s price of around 3,000 may be the full bottom, a full 80% drop from the high in Oct 2007. I think of it as a fall through 'the floor' to 3000 and then come back up to 5000. I guess I would say 'the potential for a full fall past 5000 to 3000 is highly likely' and that should be the bottom. Buy at 3000 I guess...just make sure the company will be there the next week first.
Update: Jan 23, 2009:
The orginal draft of this article was about 4 times as long and I abridged it to make it readable to online viewers. One of the things I left out of this final version was a look at the rental situation now (December 2008, Jan 2009). I will now add a brief version of that section.
"Rents, on the whole, are primarily far below a normal rate at this time. This is solely driven by the over abundance of investment properties in foreclosure and those about to be. These investors are trying to secure any capital they can before they lose the property. Since the rent they charge does not have to deal with the cost of ownership, any rate can be charged. This has caused a decreasing rate, in some areas a substantial amount."
This has effects of causing a drop in rental prices, which is happening as of this update. I came to this conclusion after going through multiple county MLS listings and 'by owner' listings of rentals. In each case I was unable to find one home not in duress, not a boom home, not an upside down home, that was being rented. I went through hundreds via public records and tax rolls. Not one home was found to not be in duress. Not a single one.

Sic Luceat Lux - Poem by Elizabeth Jones
Too long in love with easeful darkness,
Replete with sorrow, filled to the seam.
Plucked from its depths to bask in light's caress,
As if slipping supinely into a dream.
Poured forth from my lips my soul as sultry prose,
From a heart as heavy as weathered stone.
Words softly whispered, cadences a hundredfold,
From naught but love, and flesh, and bone.
The warming amber of dusk's feathered gold
Smouldered above a vast ocean of deep blue and green.
Like a painting of heaven from rich days of old.
Like a vision no mortal should ever have seen.
The endless sky surrendered from dusk to twilight
In a cooling myriad of warm vivid hues.
To a somber cobalt from midsummer white,
Like an abdication from a playful muse.
With night, the indigo-ink of midnight true
Bled onto a darkened canvas of coastline, hewn
By reed-scattered sand dunes bathed in blue
From a full and lustrous summer's moon.
Where I yearned to embrace her in eventide mirth,
And lose oneself forever and an age,
In her endless eyes not of this earth,
Like an angel of grace set free from its cage.
Soft of thigh and moist of lip,
In passion, swollen bosom heaved.
From her tender kiss I longed to sip
A stirring potion of sweet reprieve.
Sweeter than droplets of elderflower dew
And softer than snowflakes that fall in mid-spring,
I fell and sank into her embrace anew,
Not a word to say, nor a song to sing.
The fresh incense of honeyed peach and pear
Lingered upon the midnight breeze,
Where enraptured, I relished the essence fair
Of two souls embalmed in shadow's tease.
The culmination of passion's release
So desperately longed for, set me free.
Plucked my lifeless body from the earth
And helped it grow from seed to tree.
From the darkest places cursed to wander,
Fathomless and immeasurably deep,
My heartache grief now cast asunder.
All the joyous pleasures were ours to reap.
On cool soft sands I held my prize,
Under a canopy of countless stars from afar.
A million sparkles danced in her eyes
With all the lustre and beauty of a falling star.
So tender the night which bathed her from on high,
A full moon of majesty and her starry court.
Granted by heaven, and with a gentle breeze sighed
A soft caress of love import.
Author's Note: The translation of the Latin title is, 'Thus let the light shine'.

Lindsay Lohan rocked a killer Phillip Lim outfit during one of her recent court dates. While It's rare that I think the young actress deserves a compliment, I think this time she actually looked really good and she (finally, in my opinion) chose some stellar fashions. On another note, how is it she wasn't sent to jail this time? This many repeat offenses wouldn't fly with anyone else... Right?
Lindsay Lohan finally showed up to her court date today where she plead guilty to charges of reckless driving and lying to cops (shell spend 90 days in a rehab facility and avoid jail time). She wore this lovely ensemble from 3.1 Phillip Lims fall 2012 collection. She made it her own by accessorizing with a rosary (so Givenchy! and atone-y!).
Now were pretty sure we wont be getting a press release from Lims PR, proudly touting that Lohan wore his designs to court today. But when Lohan wore a white Kimberly Ovitz shift to court in 2011, it promptly sold out. So it could still be good for sales. Read More

Ryanair's chief executive, Michael O'Leary, claimed yesterday that low-fare airlines such as his own would have to put up their prices by some £10 a ticket after a ruling from the European commission.
The commission's decision - which O'Leary called "a disaster" for consumers and low-fare travel - said that Ryanair had received some £11m in state aid from the Belgian authorities to fly to and from Charleroi airport in southern Belgium and ordered the no-frills airline to return up to £3m of the money.
The Irish carrier said the ruling had huge implications for the future of low-cost travel throughout Europe. But rival airlines and aviation analysts expressed scepticism, saying the commission had ruled against specific details of the Charleroi deal which were not typical of arrangements elsewhere.
Loyola de Palacio, the EU transport commissioner, ruled that it was illegal for the Wallonian regional government, which owns Charleroi, to offer Ryanair a cut-price landing charge of just €1 per passenger, together with money for pilot training, staff accommodation and a discount price for ground handling.
Ms de Palacio said she thought the ruling would force Ryanair to put up its prices by an average of up to €8 (£6) per return ticket but Mr O'Leary said it was likely to be much more.
"I suspect that if a politician says fares will rise by between six and eight euros it is probably double that," he told a Brussels press conference, where he brandished a placard bearing the legend: EU bans low fares.
Ryanair would challenge the ruling at the European court of justice along with other low-fare airlines and publicly-owned airports, he added, and was confident it would be overturned. "This decision is a disaster for consumers who are going to have to pay higher fares, and for European air travel generally."
It would affect "ordinary people", not the wealthy, he said.
The ruling is expected to affect Ryanair's cut-price deals with 19 state-owned airports in France which include popular second-home destinations for British travellers such as Montpellier, Biarritz, Carcassonne and Pau.
But rival airlines expressed indignation at Mr O'Leary's claims that they were all in the same boat.
EasyJet's spokesman, Toby Nicol, said: "I cannot understand what Michael's playing at. We pay the published tariff at most of the airports we fly to and we have nothing comparable to this deal at Charleroi."
Ryanair has threatened to make official complaints to the EC about its rivals' deals unless they rally round in support. It claimed other routes affected could include Easy Jet's flights to Berlin Schönefeld, Toulouse and Marseille; Lufthansa's deals at Leipzig and Munich and FlyBe's services to Perpignan, Bergerac and La Rochelle.
But Mr Nicol rejected this.
At the heart of the dispute is the detail of the Brussels decision. Ms de Palacio made it clear that some forms of aid were acceptable, including one-off help from airports to provide marketing support for new routes. She also indicated that introductory discounts for new airlines could be acceptable for up to five years, rather than the 15 years agreed at Charleroi.
The ruling is only applicable to state-owned airports, which means that destinations in countries such as Britain and Germany, where airports are privatised, will be unaffected.
Exeter-based FlyBE, which flies to 24 continental destinations, dismissed the implications. Its marketing director, Mike Rutter, said: "As soon as we read the ruling, we went and checked every single one of the deals we have done. They were fully in line with the rules."
The commission's decision was pushed through by Ms de Palacio, a Spaniard, but other commissioners, including Neil Kinnock, were said to harbour deep reservations about it.
They are understood to have pressed for a full economic analysis to be drawn up and for the decision to be delayed.

'Runners Host La Verne Tonight At Icardo Center
BAKERSFIELD, Calif.-CSUB men's basketball returns home Saturday night to host the University of La Verne at the Icardo Center in the last home game for the Roadrunners before they embark on the Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic next week.
The 'Runners (3-6) are coming off a 69-63 loss at South Dakota State in a game that went back and fourth before the Jackrabbits held off two late go-ahead three-pointers by CSUB to get the win. The 'Runners were led by Britton Williams (Fr., Bakersfield, Calif., Liberty HS) who made the most of his first collegiate start scoring 18 points and dishing out four assists while Stephon Carter (Sr., Bakersfield, Calif., Garces HS) scored 17 points to pull into third place on CSUB's all-time scoring list.
Carter enters Saturday night's game as CSUB's leading scorer with his 14.1 ppg while shooting 41% from the field. He's also leading the Roadrunners at the free throw line with 50 attempts this season while shooting 76%. Two other 'Runners are also averaging in double figures; Brandon Barnes (R-Jr., Atlanta, Ga., Lipscomb) is averaging 12 ppg while scoring in double digits in each of the last five games for CSUB while Javonte Maynor (R-So., Atlanta, Ga., Georgia State) is averaging 11.8 ppg and shooting a team-high 40% from three-point range.
Carter's quest for the all-time scoring lead also continues Saturday night as he's currently 15 points behind Kebu Stewart for 3rd place on CSUB's scoring list.
The 'Runners will get one player back from illness as senior guard Tyron White (Portland, Ore., North Idaho CC) is set to return after missing the South Dakota State game due to a sever allergic reaction.
La Verne (1-5) is coming off a 91-44 loss at #17 UNLV Thursday night. The Leopards trailed by an average of 15 points for the majority of the game before the Rebels closed out the game on a 44-14 run to get the win.
The Leopards, an NCAA Division III squad out of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, are led by sophomore guard Jordan Simmonds who is averaging 16 ppg and shooting 47% from the field and a team-best 57% from three-point range. Senior guard Jake Veith is also averaging 12.4 ppg while shooting 40% for the Leopards who have lost five straight.
This is the third meeting all-time between the two programs with CSUB winning both games when they were an NCAA Division II program. The last win against La Verne game in 1996, a 118-68 victory for the Roadrunners at the Icardo Center.
Tip off is scheduled for 7 P.M. Following Saturday's game the 'Runners begin the Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic, playing at the University of Portland Monday night at 7 P.M. followed by a Wednesday game at Colorado State at 7 P.M. MST. The 'Runners then head to the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas next weekend for the final rounds of the tournament where they will face North Florida Saturday afternoon at 2:30 P.M. and either Georgia Southern or Mississippi Valley State Sunday afternoon at a time to be determined.

Morrison's ghost raises a jingle tangle
Page Tools
BOB DYLAN is singing The Times They Are A-Changin' in a television ad for healthcare giant Kaiser Permanente these days, and who could argue? With Led Zeppelin pitching Cadillacs, the Rolling Stones strutting in an Ameriquest Mortgage ad and Paul McCartney warbling for Fidelity Investments, it's clear that the old counterculture heroes of classic rock are firmly entrenched as the house band of corporate America.
That only makes the case of John Densmore all the more intriguing. Once, back when rock'n'roll still seemed dangerous, Densmore was the drummer for the Doors, the band with dark hits such as Light My Fire and People Are Strange. That band more or less went into the grave with lead singer Jim Morrison in 1971, but, like all top classic-rock franchises, it now has the chance to exploit a lucrative afterlife in television commercials.
Offers keep coming in, such as the $US15 million ($19.7 million) dangled by Cadillac last year to lease the song Break On Through (to the Other Side) to hawk its luxury sports utility vehicles.
To the surprise of the corporation and the chagrin of his former bandmates, Densmore vetoed the idea. He said he did the same when Apple called with a $US4 million offer, and every time "some deodorant company wants to use Light My Fire". The reason? Prepare to get a lump in your throat or to roll your eyes.
"People lost their virginity to this music, got high for the first time to this music," Densmore said. "I've had people say kids died in Vietnam listening to this music, other people say they know someone who didn't commit suicide because of this music . . . On stage, when we played these songs, they felt mysterious and magic. That's not for rent."
That not only sets the Doors apart from the long, long list of classic rock acts that have had their songs licensed for big US commercial campaigns, it also has added considerably to Densmore's estrangement from former bandmates Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger, a trio who last set eyes on one another in the Los Angeles County Superior Court building last year.
John Branca, a lawyer who worked on the Cadillac proposal, says: "I told him that, really, people don't frown on this any more. It's considered a branding exercise for the music. He told me he just couldn't sell a song to a company that was polluting the world. I shook my head. But, hey, you have to respect that. How many of your principles would you reconsider when people start talking millions of dollars?"
The Doors formed in 1965. As the decade was ending they were hailed in some quarters as the Rolling Stones of America. An advertising firm came to the band with an offer: $US50,000 to allow its biggest hit, Light My Fire, to be used in a commercial for the Buick Opel. Morrison was in Europe and the band voted in his absence; Densmore, Krieger and Manzarek agreed to the deal. Morrison returned and was furious, vowing to sledgehammer a Buick on stage at every concert if the commercial went forward. It did not.
In November 1970, the lesson learned was put in writing. The Doors members agreed that any licensing agreement would require a unanimous vote. Even before that, the band had agreed that the members would share equally in all music publishing rights, an arrangement that set them apart from most bands.
Densmore relented once. Back in the 1970s, he agreed to let Riders on the Storm be used to sell Pirelli Tires in a TV spot in England. When he saw it he was sick. "I gave every cent to charity. Jim's ghost was in my ear, and I felt terrible. If I needed proof that it was the wrong thing to do, I got it."
In another bitter dispute between the drummer and his former colleagues, a judge ruled in August that Manzarek and Krieger could no longer tour together as the Doors of the 21st Century. Densmore, with support from the Morrison estate, had filed a suit in 2003 to block the neo-Doors from using any permutation of the old band's name. The pair grudgingly switched to the acronym D21C.

hey folks
just looking for opinions here on whether we should be making our themes responsive from the start
especially for new sellers that are just getting into the market, and don't really know if our themes are even going to sell!
perhaps better to release the theme, fixed width, then if it's popular, add responsive design in an update.
what do you think?
I think you should start responsive, Love bootstrap just started using it but man it is very cool.
if you choose to go responsive, try this out http://foundation.zurb.com/
WOLFTHEMES saidI don't think it's a good practise because some people might have extensive modification done on the stylesheet / layout, so releasing an update with responsive design might mean that the person has to do his work again, or sacrifice the new features by not updating his theme.
perhaps better to release the theme, fixed width, then if it's popular, add responsive design in an update. what do you think?
I personally try to fit in as much 'useful' features as possible within my theme's initial release. For my theme updates, I usually don't change the original codes (unless there's a bug) but introduce new codes instead, and with clear changelog / comments , a buyer can easily upgrade the theme to get the new features by some modifications on the original files.
hey thanks for the super quick responses!
yep, i gotcha, do it properly 100% from the start…good advice
If it will have potential to get popular, it can not become popular because it is not responsive. This is standard feature today.
As mafloral said, built your design with grid, and then code it with bootstrap – and you almost already responsive. Few lines of CSS within media queries and its 100% ready. CSS framework's help you to save much time compared to coding a template from scratch (even not responsive), which is becoming primitive approach by today standards.

One day after wide receiver Tim Brown continued his verbal assault on dismissed head coach Bill Callahan, the coach himself fired a few salvos.
To refresh your memory, Brown said on his weekly radio show on KNBR last week, he accused Callahan of "sabotaging" the Raiders and "coaching to get fired." Brown continued to utter such accusations in an interview with Rich Eisen on the NFL Network. Several other Oakland players have been critical of Callahan, whom Oakland fired on Dec. 31.
Callahan made his first public statements Tuesday since the Raiders dismissed him in an interview with James Brown of FOXSports. Callahan had several things to dispute on Brown's claims.
"First off, the notion that I would sabotage a season is absolutely delusional," Callahan said. "It is insulting and unfounded in my opinion. Do you think that I would coach for 26 years to become a head coach in the National Football League, go to a Super Bowl, so I can throw a season? I don't think so! I don't think that I would put in 18 hours a day and spend the entire four weeks of my vacation planning for a season, so I can throw it all away.
"So, those remarks that Tim accused me of are totally absurd and that is an indictment that is unwarranted, unfounded, and totally off base! The fact of the matter is, prior to the first Monday night game against Kansas City, I had informed Tim Brown that he was going to be substituted for by Jerry Porter. Porter, in my opinion, is the next receiver to supplant Tim as the starting flanker in Oakland."
In Brown's interview with Eisen, he felt things were so bad that he suspected that players might physically assault Callahan. Brown also said that Callahan did not want the veteran players back. Callahan also disputed both claims.
"I think he is grasping at straws right there," Callahan said. "I don't think that it ever got to that point. I had mentioned to Tim, he was a team captain. I felt that the locker room had to improve. There were too many controversial things going on in there. I knew that and addressed it with the team Captains to take charge of it. You know, to make statements like that, they are unwarranted and unfounded. I think if you speak to most of the people around there, you will find out that his comments were totally off base."
As for his future, Callahan said he plans on continuing as a coach but is not sure where at this point. Callahan added that there are several options on the table that have his interest but there.
According to a Lincoln-Journal Star report, Callahan will interview for the University of Nebraska head coaching vacancy Wednesday. Nebraska, which defeated Michigan State 17-3 in the Alamo Bowl, fired Frank Solich the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

A group of charities in Malawi are joining together to try and stop the singer from becoming David's mum.
David lives in an orphanage after his mum died when he was born. His dad is still alive, but has agreed that Madonna can adopt his son.
The government in Malawi has said Madonna is allowed to adopt David, but it can take up to two years to happen.
One of the charities against the adoption - Eye of the Child - said they wanted to make sure the future of a person who is not old enough to say what they want is safe.
Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have now left Malawi where they were doing some charity work.
She has promised to donate about $3m (£1.6m) to help 900,000 orphans there.
David stayed behind because at the moment he doesn't have a passport that he needs to leave Malawi.
Madonna, 48, already has two children, five-year-old son Rocco and nine-year-old daughter Lourdes.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by greenmanalishi
Overall Member Rating
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The main area is the Lido deck, with the pool, water slide, big screen, and bar and grill area. Get a chair early in the day if you want one. One of the biggest complaints I've heard over the years still rings true: people put a towel on a chair or two, and it sits there for hours. It's annoying and sort of inconsiderate, considering there are 3000 people on board, and nowhere near that many lounge chairs. They have signs that say no saving More chairs, but no one enforces that. The water slide wasn't open at all times, we couldn't figure out the schedule. If you get a soda card, be prepared to wait at one of the bars to get a drink. The bartenders don't seem in any hurry, especially if they see your soda card. So pull up a chair. Also, we got two cards for the cruise, and it was $78. So be prepared to suck down some Cokes to make it worth your while. Don't forget, there is a 15 percent tip added to every drink purchase, which is one of the biggest jokes of going on a cruise. During the day, there is a band up top, playing the same old steel drum songs you were tired of 20 years ago. Sort of hard to hear your ipod or get any peace and quiet with HOT HOT HOT blasting over the speakers. It was cool to watch a movie at night on the big screen, but the wind often makes it hard to hear. We tried to get someone to turn it up, but not too many employees are interested in making sure your complaints are fixed. They usually just pass the buck , or say something in another language that you don't really understand. Although, we watched the national championship college basketball game, and it was cranked up pretty high.
Our room was on floor number one, and it was an inside room. Pretty nice, with a bed that pulled down from the ceiling for our daughter. Our steward was alright. Mostly you see them once a day, and they nod and smile. The room was always clean. So that gets a thumbs up.
We went to the introductory show in the theatre. It was a lot of dancing. Not our cup of tea. The Beatles tribute show was pretty awesome though. We didn't go to see the comedian. The Cruise Director Todd, was a pretty cool guy. Seemed to work very hard to make sure everyone knew what was going on. I asked him how much sleep he got, and he said, "very little, lots of Red Bull".
Now for the food. I have never seen so many obese people in one spot in my life. Wow. I'm guessing the thought of free food for a week is the reason many people cruise. The buffet areas had mostly the same stuff every night, they just tweak it a little. Chicken prepared differently each night, fish a little different each night, pasta, etc. They also have a grill area where you can get burgers and hot dogs. Those are actually pretty good. They do have a separate mongolian stirfry grill, deli, tandoor, and mexican places. Plus pizza. You can get that usually late into the night. In fact after 9 or so, pizza is it for food. Frozen yogurt too. We did not go to the fancy restaurant, that you have to pay extra for ($30 per person), although someone told us it was worth it. We only went to the main dining room twice. Once for the formal night. We had lobster and shrimp. Pretty good. The other night we had salmon and steak. There is a place near the casino where you can get nighttime snacks, and they change that every night. There are also a couple of places to buy fancy coffees.
Getting on the boat took longer than getting off. If you don't like standing in line, get there early to get on. They give you many instructions for getting off the boat at the end of the cruise, and really none of that matters, except putting the luggage tags on your bags. They told us to keep the stubs, make sure we had one in our hand on the way off. No one checked anything. They are just trying to make sure everyone isn't in a big hurry and rushes down at the same time to get off.
Honestly, most of the trouble we had onboard, were with people, and not so much the boat itself. The boat is great. Clean, lots to do, and almost too many employees. They actually seem to be in the way. Anytime you put 3000 people in a spot that small, you're going to have trouble. Kids not paying attention to what they're doing, not following rules, getting in your way, being rude. Basically the parents let the kids roam, and the kids take full advantage.
If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet, peaceful week at sea, DO NOT take this ship. We had a much more relaxed cruise last year on Princess. However, if you are up for partying, drinking, smoking wherever you want (more later) and being loud and doing whatever the hell you want, this is your ship. We are non smokers, and didn't realize that people would be able to smoke anywhere onboard. So, on the first day as we were laying out in the sun, I had about a 70 year old woman next to me firing up smoke after smoke, and not caring if I liked it or not. If you are not a smoker, keep in mind, you may get a room that someone smoked in on the last cruise. It wasn't a problem for us, but we were ready just in case, with the Glade. Yeah, we're snobby non smokers.
Our ports were Key West, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios Jamaica. Key West was fun for a couple hours, shopping in old town. In Grand Cayman, we went in a submarine, and it was awesome, 100 fee under the clear water. We saw everything but a shark. In Jamaica we swam with the dolphins and climbed the Dunns River Falls. Both were worth the money.
I doubt we'll go on Carnival again, since we like to relax and take it easy on our vacations. Less

The BBC deserves more sympathy than it is getting for its reluctance to broadcast an appeal on behalf of Gaza. The corporation tends to make a fetish of its independence, even when it is at its most craven and politically correct, yet chief operating officer Caroline Thomson was surely right this evening to describe its position on this issue as principled, indeed brave. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that it was right.
The Disasters Emergency Committee has been co-ordinating appeals for the relief of natural and man-made disasters since 1963. According to their website,
Crises and emergencies occur regularly throughout the world and we cannot respond to them all. DEC appeals are reserved for major disasters and emergencies which cannot be dealt with by the usual in-country coping mechanisms, and where DEC member agencies are in a position to respond quickly and effectively.
What this means in practice is that the DEC exists to respond to emergencies that are newsworthy. Indeed, the organisation's own guidelines state, as one of three conditions to be met before a joint appeal is launched, that "there must be sufficient public awareness of, and sympathy for, the humanitarian situation so as to give reasonable grounds for concluding that a public appeal will be successful."
The situation in Gaza clearly meets this newsworthiness test. Indeed, it's largely due to the BBC's own coverage of the conflict - and that of other broadcasters - that public awareness is so great. Naomi Wolf, writing in Saturday's Times, contrasted the presentation of the issues here with that in the US:
Reading the US papers, one would have the sense that the Gaza conflict was an even-handed struggle. We saw images of bodies from afar, but not an actual bloodied child. In England I found, on every cover of almost every news publication, close-up images of wounded children.... And a single sentence in The New York Times mentioned "protests in Europe" about Gaza. Not until I surfaced in the UK did I have any idea that there were hundreds of thousands of citizens on the streets throughout Europe.
By the same token, though, reading, or listening to or, above all, watching the British coverage one would have the sense that the Gaza conflict was no more than a war of aggression waged for no good reason by a strong power - Israel - against a defenceless civilian population. This isn't entirely or even mainly a BBC problem. Channel 4 has been even more one-sided in its coverage. But it does mean that running an appeal aimed at alleviating the undoubted humanitarian crisis in Gaza inevitably becomes politically charged.
Conspiracy theorists, who apparently include the absurd health minister Ben Bradshaw (to judge from his performance on Radio 4's Any Questions last night) allege that the BBC has simply bowed to Israeli pressure. "The Israeli government has a long history of bullying the BBC", he alleged, adding that it was "completely unacceptable" and "the BBC should not be cowed by it". Presumably they should only allow the Labour government to bully them. Or does Alastair Campbell's behaviour during the Iraq war merely count as "friendly advice"?
Actually, if the Israeli government does attempt to influence the BBC's coverage of the Middle East (and I don't doubt that they do) they don't seem particularly successful. This isn't the place to embark on a defence of Israeli actions, even if I wanted to, which I don't. The heavy-handed tactics of the IDF and the killing and injuring of many blameless civilians, including far too many children, have alienated and bewildered even many of their natural supporters. It was a one-sided war, and the consequences are plain for all to see. The public anger that followed has had some ugly side-effects, but it was a natural, understandable, even inevitable consequence of the news footage. And the Israelis should not be surprised that their policy of prosecuting a war in a small and crowded strip of land has led to international dismay.
But in covering this conflict as, essentially, a humanitarian disaster, the BBC and other broadcasters have decontexualised it. They have ignored wider, more complex questions about the role of Hamas in precipitating the conflict - which went beyond reckless, and must be described as deliberately causative - and about the involvement of surrounding states. Almost nothing, for example, has been said about the position of Egypt, which has played an interesting (and very cynical) double game, emoting in public about the plight of the Palestinians while privately backing Israel and supporting their blockade of Gaza. Nor, in the aftermath, has there been much coverage in the British media of the opinions of the many Gazans who are well aware how much Hamas must share the blame for the devastation that has been brought upon them.
This is not a new problem. A report commissioned by the BBC governors in 2006 found serious deficiencies: its reporting was significantly misleading and contained "gaps in coverage, analysis, context and perspective". The report criticised both the BBC's coverage of the sufferings of Palestinians, and also the its reluctance to use the word "terrorism" to describe the actions of militants. (A reluctance that continues to this day.) Some see these problems as evidence of inherent anti-Israel bias in the BBC. More charitably, it can be seen as a bias towards strong visual images and simplistic narratives over much less appealing explanations of the origins and progress of a decades-long conflict.
Given that the war has been painted in such black-and-white terms, it's easy to see how giving airtime to a humanitarian appeal might lead to suspicions of bias. When people are displaced and bereaved by a natural disaster such as an earthquake, there may well be people to blame (cost-cutting builders, for example) but the direct cause of the tragedy is impersonal, an act of God. Not so here, where the vast majority of those injured have been injured by the Israelis, and those who have lost their homes have lost them to Israeli bombs. If the BBC and other news organisations had done their job properly in explaining the nuances of the Middle East dispute, then this need not have been a problem. But the public perception is now that the undoubtedly tragic situation is entirely (or almost entirely) Israel's fault.
No-one should doubt the appeal organisers' good intentions, but the sad fact is that even showing humanitarian concern for the victims has become a political act - or at least a politically ambiguous one. On balance, I think a carefully-worded appeal ought to be able to work around these issues. A potentially greater problem might lie in the actual delivery of aid. There must be a danger that some of the money raised would be siphoned off by Hamas and spent on weapons. It might validly be said, however, that this consideration hasn't stopped such appeals in the past. It is a recurrent feature of aid programmes in war-zones and places where the government is institutionally corrupt that not all the money raised ends up helping the most needy. And the distribution of aid in Gaza would presumably take place under conditions of great publicity and international scrutiny.
The BBC and (initially) the other broadcasters may well have made the wrong decision, but it was neither an inexplicable nor an outrageous one, and a much closer call than most of their opponents are willing to accept. Cheap populist shots from government ministers ring particularly hollow when set against New Labour's long record of bullying and suborning the BBC, or the Beeb's own record of craven subservience to the government's agenda. It is particularly strange that ministers' ire should be directed against a broadcaster that weighed a tricky situation rather than against the country that did the damage. As for the appeal itself, this row has given it far more publicity than it could otherwise have expected. And that must be a good thing.
