Nanny keeps the Babies keep busy with books while they wait for the paint to dry in the nursery and for their toys to come down from the attic. Baby Skeeter doesn't want to read books and would rather do some exercise to keep active. At the end, Baby Skeeter finds out that books are interesting to read. By the time the painters and Nanny came in with the toys from the attic, the babies want Nanny to read them a story instead.
The stories that the babies read are Robin Hood, The Wizard of Oz, and Peter Pan.

But will he panic over his struggles as the team rides an eight-game winning streak? No.
"Obviously it wasn't out best effort throwing the ball, and obviously, I have a lot to do with that," Rivers said. "After watching it, going over it, there are a few things to clean up, and you keep moving along."
Rivers was dreadful in completing but 8-of-23 passes for 97 yards and two interceptions. His rating was a career-low 12.4.
"It was a bunch of silly stuff," Rivers said of his problems. "I wasn't too sharp."
Coach Marty Schottenheimer wasn't looking for a panic button to push, either.
"Any time you develop a young quarterback you will see this happen," he said. "I don't care who it is. Whether it's Bernie Kosar, whether it's Ben Roethlisberger, whether it's Peyton Manning, they all go through it."
One can add Rivers' name to the list. But LaDainian Tomlinson expects the game comes with a lesson, too.
"Everybody has games they want to put behind them," he said. "This (was) Philip's game. He's going to learn from that.
"He's still a young player. Things, for the most part, have been a breeze for him. But everybody goes through it."

yep. no problem. I'll try to be concise in the future.
So when you say "extract" the module, what do you mean by it?
1) I could unpack the file and end up with a folder on my desktop or
2) start it with the module manager and have it disappear from my desktop, because it is now installed in the file system.
Also, I've tried putting it into my module folder, but can't find it. I'm running BT2 from CD. You guys were suggesting a USB stick. I'll try to get my SD card slot to work or hook up my iPod to it.
btw.: How can I find out whether the module has been properly installed?
thank you

Sara Cress, a former journalist, now writes poems inspired by the news! Follow her on Twitter @saracress! She has also been a featured guest on Good Evening with Conner & Billy, a talk show created by the comedic art collective MicroSatan. Read on to learn more about her poetry!
ZFH: Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you'll be showing at ZFH 2015!
Sara Cress: I am Sara Cress, a writer and former journalist for the Houston Chronicle. After being laid off from the Chronicle after nine years, I still found myself craving news, and then found myself in a job where I still read headlines all day. I started writing poems based on news articles, slapping them up on Tumblr, and now I find I've been doing this for nearly three years and people like what I'm doing. I put together a compilation of some of these poems (I chose a feminist theme for this first compilation) and paired them with pieces of art by Houston women, most of them created after reading the poem. That's what I will be offering, along with some of the art that was made, and probably some other poetry stuff that I haven't dreamed up yet.
ZFH: Were you an analog to digital transition or were you a BB born in the tech age? How does technology and recent technological developments affect your zine-making practice?
SC: I was around when zines were things with hot pink paper covers that you could hold in your hands. There's nothing better than a manifesto written down and copied and handed out.
ZFH: What in your opinion is the best invention of the last 30 years?
SC: Smart phones.
ZFH: What in your opinion is the worst invention of the last 30 years?
SC: Smart phones.
ZFH: How will you best honor our cyber overlords?
SC: By being forever willingly enslaved by social media.
Awesome, Sara! Looking forward to reading your poetry zines at the fest! (Side note: we've noticed a trend in the exhibitors responses that point to smart phones being seen as both a wonderful and terrible invention…)

Well, the sweater is going a lot easier than I thought. I have become a man possessed. I am knitting whenever I get free second.Coffee shops, work, home, etc. In 3-4 days I finished the front and I am about 3/4 done with the back. I am by nature, not a fast knitter, but I am methodical.
I will post some pics later. Now I must knit!
Also, some of you showed interest in the "knitting culture" of Japan. Long story short.... Japan is even more chauvenistic than you could possibly guess. I think the woman at the yarn store almost had a heart attack when I walked in. Men do men things and women do women things here (for the most part) and I guess they think knitting is a woman's thing.
I made this monkey from this pattern: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/motoymoknpru.html
although I diverged a lot. The body is silk chenille, the face and hands are silk chainette. I stitched the mouth and nose with my hand-reeled silk.

How "Butch" is this??? ...a forged steel hook for carrying a ball of yarn while you knit... http://www.cjpatterns.com/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CJP&Product_Code=KW
Or shoud I say men's night! We've been open 2 weeks and we've only had 1 man so far but I don't care we are committed to having a male knitting group in our great capital. Well, women are welcome but men are the centre of attention for fridays. I think if we persevere we might just make it work.
I wish we could see Chris Vandenberg aand Stckywarp and JPaul and all the rest of you but maybe we might see Ivan The Terrible, with a name like that I really hope so , Ivan I think you might need some DPN.
So, for Fridays, pray for men, London needs them.
Well hopefully you guys might be reading this, my third attempt to get something on here!!! My computer hasn't been behaving! Just to say a HUGE thankyou for such a warm response to just titles so far!! I'm VERY excited to have found this place to share my knitting-related thoughts, joys and frustrations!! My mother taught me basic stitches when I was just into my teens, and I managed to put together a few scarves and a VERY basic sweater made from rectangles of garter stitch...I seem to remember it looking quite cool under dungarees (EEK!!!). A girlfriend of mine started to knit a couple of years ago, and I picked up some needles one evening with her and haven't stopped since!!
So, this summer I whipped up a scarf. Fancy that. I deisgned the rudimentary pattern. There is more info on my blog... except Blogger just ate my post. So there WILL be more info there.
I finally get two days off in a row. It is about time...
This means I am going to get some long over due knitting in... I hope to knit for at least 4 hours each day.
Which is good since it is getting close to christmas and it is time to start working on christmas gifts for family....
well I am off to knit everyone have a good weekend.

About the Book
This book contains photographs and descriptions of my first two trips to Europe. I'm presently working on a sequel: "Across the Water 2" which I should finish late next year. In both books I have tried to capture the feeling of seeing these places for the first time after reading about them my whole life. There is nothing better than that!

New automation strategies can transform how-and where-products are made
Companies have made great strides in improving how they design, build, and manage their product supply networks, but there have been no transformational changes to physically manufacturing products. It's time to think radically about how to manufacture in a "dark" site, where you have little to no labor.
The global recession is causing manufacturers to rethink business models. Plummeting demand across virtually every industry has pushed capacity utilization rates at U.S. plants to their lowest levels since the Federal Reserve began tracking those figures in 1948.
Bill Polk
Clearly this calls for new strategies in managing production facilities. Although the automation of processes has been happening for eons, it has plateaued. Companies have made great strides in improving how they design, build, and manage their product supply networks, but there have been no transformational changes to physically manufacturing products.
It's time to think radically about how to manufacture in a "dark" site, where you have little to no labor. It's time to completely get rid of assembly line labor and run plants with only maintenance personnel and people who manage process controls and automation.
Fortunately, there are some fundamental things occurring in the development of information technology that make it possible for manufacturers to realistically consider new methods of running plants.
For instance, a large number of companies have been able to install a robust business intelligence layer. This is a product of now-mature ERP backbones from companies like SAP and Oracle that also have fully developed extensions to get real-time transactional data.
The progression has been from disintegrated shop floor manufacturing data (manufacturing intelligence) to enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) to true real-time business intelligence.
This should logically lead to fewer companies operating in an "inspect and correct mode", where exception management is a primary means of delivering a perfect order versus controlling the product within the execution of the order.
In a demand-driven product supply network-where flexible manufacturing, shorter runs, and more rapid changeovers are the norm-the old way of making products must change. The leveraging of a rich business intelligence framework to help determine product non-conformance earlier in the make cycle will drive reduced costs and risks and increased opportunities for profit.
As stated earlier, external economic forces are this necessary step change. Manufacturing plants in the U.S. ran at 67.4 percent capacity in February, the lowest capacity utilization number since the Fed began tracking the figure. The U.S.GDP contracted a whopping 6.1 percent in Q1, leading to a slashing of inventories and expenditures and idled plants across every industry and geography.
These conditions are forcing companies to become flexible, lean and efficient like never before. Small, iterative continuous improvement programs won't cut it. Manufacturing needs major breakthroughs.
Ironically, the automotive sector is the one industry one industry facing a unique opportunity in the face of the current economic downturn.
The big car companies-particularly those who will lose many of their historical self-imposed shackles through bankruptcy proceedings-have a chance of a corporate lifetime to fundamentally change how they fabricate their products.
The final driver of what should be a fundamental overhaul of manufacturing processes is renewed interest in regional manufacturing, or near shoring. Intellectual property threats, currency fluctuations, political instability, energy costs, latency of overseas shipments, and the volatility of transportation costs are all driving U.S. manufacturers to rethink their heavy reliance on globally-dispersed product supply networks.
These risks clearly have manufacturers thinking about a return to domestic manufacturing operations. Before they can make that switch, however, they must build in control systems that will enable heretofore unseen levels of flexibility and efficiency to offset higher labor costs.

Prominent soccer executives and players seek compromise on the hijab
2 comments:
very positive discussions on the issue of the hijab and playing football. Let's hope this is put to rest once and for all.ReplyDelete
FIFA's ban on the wearing of religious or political symbols on the pitch is absurd.. When Kaka wore a t-shirt saying "I belong to Jesus" that wasn't a riligious symbol? what about a player wearing a cross or striking a cross across his chest before a game? Should they be fined? Should Maradona have been banned for having a Che tattoo??ReplyDelete
To me it seams that FIFA is trying to push it's values and the values of it's sponsors on the rest of the world..

What happened was fairly recently someone ran the torque code through astyle to apply a uniform source formatting style. This removed tabs, and unfortunately a long time ago some programmer had included tabs in strings instead of \t.

Gothic 1 Mage Learning Points
I am banking learning points in Chapter 1 to be a fire mage, then later a water mage. How many learning points should I save for mana and all the circles? 70+95 or 70+70+95 or ? I'd like to know ahead of time how many discretionary points I can spend on one-handed/bow/strength/dexterity and anything else.
I don't remember exactly how many LPs it took to get all six circles, but it's easy enough to look up on the web.
I wouldn't worry too much about it though to be honest. If Gothic 1 has a fault, it's that there's actually too many LPs if you're a thorough player. When I played a mage, I had enough ST and DEX in chapter 6 to use almost any weapon in the game despite being maxed out in magic. You'll also have an overabundance of stat-boosting rings and amulets in the second half of the game.
You'll max out anything you specialize in, so do not waste pots until you hit the cap (pots can add premapoints above the cap).
I agree with JDR13, I replayed Gothic 1 a couple of years ago and was surprised by the number of LPs I could afford to "waste" after maxing out the magic skills despite being only fairly conservative in their use.
Just spend enough points on combat stuff to get along, and save the rest.
Yeah just wondering how many I'll need and whether I can afford to to get bow and sword skills. Killing skeletons and orc warriors is trying in chapter 1.
Cool. Both levels of one-handed melee? Did you put any points into strength and dexterity? Probably hard to remember all this stuff…
Yeah, I probably had more points in dexterity than strength, but I still had more points in strength than a mage should have. Iirc, I had both levels of one-handed melee and a level in two-handed.
If you really farm for XP in Gothic, it's sort of possible to be a jack of all trades. Gothic 2 is vastly different in that aspect.
Ah, OK, I'm definitively thinking back to the G2 experience, where I really had to be careful about using points.
You need the following:
Circle 1: 10
Circle 2: 15
Circle 3: 20
Circle 4: 25
Circle 5: 30
Circle 6: 40
Total: 140 -> 14 levels.
You can get up to circle 4 rather early and then 5 after joining the water mages. Circle 6 can wait until you've done the temple of the Sleeper, as it's only required to deal with the special templars before reaching the Sleeper.
Generally, you can spend points quite freely in Gothic, but not too freely as a mage. The reason is the whooping 40 points needed for circle 6. If you also want 100 mana (which you should), you'll have about 8-9 levels that you can spend on whatever you want.
Thanks Maylander! That's about 24 levels worth of points, if I read this right.
So the same circles apply to all kinds of magic? For example, a single circle 1 skill, allows one to case any level 1 fire, water, or sect camp spell?
BTW, I've already spent points on sneaking, hunting, strength and dexterity.
Yes, as long as you learn the first circle, you can use any level 1 rune. The same applies to all the circles.
OK, thanks. Maylander does that total point count assume you do every possible quest and kill (or beat down) everything standing?
I once decided to see how far I could get but I got help. There's a hammer in the game that requires 22 strength that makes 50 damage. If you know where it is and manage to get there you can get by with that, a bonebow and a +10 dexterity ring.
For a mage, I usually go with 1h expert training (master training gives you virtually nothing in Gothic 1) + 55 strength so I can use Raven's Right (70 damage weapon that Raven uses, it looks very smooth with the magician robes and has high enough damage to let you kill most enemies with it if need be). Other than that I learn lockpicking (basic) + all the hunting skills and that's about that. The rest I spend on mana and magic circles.
I played as a Guard/Mage on my big playthrough. You can end up with all 6 circles and many of the skills in the game quite easily if you spend time killing animals before moving from chapter to chapter.
I generally do that as well, but it doesn't really matter in the end. You simply get skill points sooner by doing that, as there is no respawning in Gothic. Instead, there is a fixed set of spawns that is added every chapter, regardless of whether or not you've killed the monsters already present. In other words: Packs will simply grow larger over time.
In total there's a finite amount of experience to be had in the game, though I don't remember exactly how much.
Yeah, so Maylander, when you say there 30-35 levels worth of XP, does that assume you do every quest and kill every monster and beat down every person? Minus 24 for all the mage circles and mana. That leaves 6-9 levels (or 60-90 learning points) for other skills attributes?
Jemy, I have that hammer and spent 15 points on strength to use it. Had to also spend 8 points in dexterity to use the bone bone with a +5 dexterity ring.
At level 14, Orc warriors, swampsharks, shadowbeasts are still too tough for me. I can use arrows to take out snappers and razors from a distance, but melee is a death sentence. Skeletons are tough but doable with melee.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/7/2009 (2933 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This one is for all you fringers who want more talk, less rock.
Skin Deep is as simple a performance as a fringe show can get: just three speakers, a bare-bones amplifier, and a pair of musicians who bracket each tale with a mystical, musical palate cleanser.
But top Manitoban storytellers Mary Louise Chown, Tom Roche and Kay Stone (who performed a top-reviewed show at last year's fringe) don't need gimmicks to grip their audiences.
The theme for this year's story collection is transformation, and the trio delves into it using seven tales. Among others, there's an Arctic legend about a skeleton-woman, a story about a mother-daughter team of shapeshifters and a shot of Japanese folklore.
Fans of pure oral tradition will enjoy the tale-spinning, which is subtle, sensual, and intimate. But with Skin Deep clocking in at a full 75 minutes, those with shorter attention spans should probably take a pass.
— Melissa Martin
From the official Fringe Festival program:
Last year's 41/2 star storytellers are back with more tales and music about the erotic surface and fearful depth of our human nature. It's skinny and it's deep. We will hold you in the palm of our hands and give you no quarter!

Provo • Davis senior Christine Van Brocklin was considered one of the favorites to win the 100-meter hurdles final.
But after a mishap during the qualifying round Friday at the state track meet, she won't be one of the nine girls chasing first place Saturday.
She hit a hurdle with her lead leg during her preliminary heat, knocking it over and throwing off her timing. She said she did her best to keep going and aim for a qualifying spot, but she knew her mistake had cost her, and she crossed the finish line with tears in her eyes.
"I've looked forward to, as a senior, to hopefully win [the 100 hurdles]," she said. "I've worked really hard for it this year, but sometimes things like that happen, and you can't change them."
Van Brocklin was highly motivated to end her senior year on top of the podium after a fourth-place finish last year. But even though she won't get the chance to do it in the 100, she still has a shot at redemption in the 300 hurdles, where she finished third last year and won her qualifying heat Friday.
The 300 hurdles is her favorite event, and because she didn't qualify for the 100 final, she said it is even more important to not let that affect her.
"Why not just give everything you have to the other races?" she said. "Now that I have that gone, it'll make me even more tough. … I'm excited, and I hope to get a new personal record and hopefully take the title."
The star of the early morning was Ogden junior Sarah Feeny.
She set a Class 3A state record in the first event of the day when she finished the 1,600 in 4 minutes, 50.04 seconds. She shattered the old record of 4:53.06, which she set earlier this season.
In the 400 relays, two teams that took first place last year are well on their way to making it two in a row. Cedar City, which won last year with a time of 50.02 in 3A, improved this year with a 49.19 to earn the top spot for Saturday's final.
Orem did the same thing in the 4A competition, besting last year's winning time of 49.26 with a 49.08 in the preliminary heat to also earn the top spot in the final.

Flashing with dd is potentially dangerous, because it can overwrite "write-only" locations in /dev/mmbblk0, if you do not get the offsets and sizes exactly correct. MUCH safer to use fastboot.
I need some sleep before I strip out any images. I tried one for the k4 but messed up. It is almost 5am here and I have work in the "morning". ;-(
These things take time and I already burned several hours making firmware images for people.
5.0.4 is mostly just a kernel update, and it provides a full kernel image (not patches). Very little change to the main partition. So if you install a 5.0.0 kernel and 5.0.0 main partition, it should upgrade to 5.0.4 fine.
In fact, 5.0.4 should upgrade fine even if the main partition and kernel are not matching versions (unless 5.0.1, 5.0.2, or 5.0.3, which contained patches and could potentially cause problems during an update). They *should* have done a CRC check though to prevent double patching, but perhaps that code was not well-tested (or according to your analysis, may not even have EXISTED)...
Just be patient and you will get your 5.0.0 kernel image (and perhaps a 5.0.4 kernel image too).

I was wondering what the difference was between a quick reply and a post reply on your message board. Does it matter which one I use?
This a really good question and I bet several of our other message board users have wondered the same thing. For those of you who don't know, when you post a question on WorldStart's message board, the person who responds to you has the choice of clicking on "Post Reply" or "Quick Reply." Then if you want to answer back to them as well, you have the same choices. (Yeah, we're pretty fair here at WorldStart. We give everyone the same options!)
So, let's go over what the differences are so you'll know exactly which one to use next time you use the message board. Let's start with Post Reply. This choice basically gives you more options for your reply. You can change the font style, the font size and even the color of your text. You can also add a bold, italic or underline style to your words if you want. With Post Reply, you can add bullets for any listing you want to do, you can add hyperlinks, e-mail links and you can even play around with text wrapping, etc.
There are also emoticons (smileys) you can use in your message. If you say something funny, you can insert a happy face or if you're frustrated with something, use the question mark face. You can also choose an icon for the type of message you're sending. There's smiley faces, there's a thumbs up, a thumbs down, arrows, etc. Or you can use no icon at all. Once you're done, you can also preview your post before you submit it by clicking on the Preview Post button located below your typed message.
If you scroll down even further, there are some advanced options you can browse through. Here you can add attachments to your message and do some other things with the threads. So, as you can see, there's quite a lot you can do with the Post Reply option. Now, what can you do with the Quick Reply feature?
With Quick Reply, you just basically type in your message and then send it off. You can choose to bold, italicize or underline your text, but you can't change font sizes or anything like that. You can also choose to quote the original message in your reply with this option if you'd like to do that. Other than that, you just type in what you have to say and click on the Post Quick Reply button.
That's basically it. There are quite a few differences between the two, but now you know them and you can choose which one bests suits your message board needs! Use a little of both or stick with one way all the time. It's completely up to you!

50th Birthday Party painting
I spent a large part of last year on one painting, this depiction of a clients 50th birthday party. Not knowing a soul, my wife (a photographer) and I took a lot of pictures, had the client help us determine who was who and I eventually came up with this scene.
And here's my tite sketch
Here are some shots of the piece in progress. Some were taken at weird angles, hence the distortions.

Family First set to win Senate seat
Page Tools
A devoutly Christian political novice is poised to hold the balance of power in the new Senate.
Steve Fielding of the Family First party has come from nowhere to emerge as favourite to win the sixth Senate place in Victoria thanks to preferences from Labor and the Australian Democrats.
Despite receiving less than two per cent of the statewide vote, Mr Fielding was quietly confident this afternoon of edging out the Greens' David Risstrom, who outpolled him on primary votes by almost five to one.
This is the first federal election contested by Family First, which has close links with the Assemblies of God church.
"This gives us the opportunity to bring into parliament the agreement with the prime minister that will see that all new legislation has a family impact statement prior to things going to cabinet,'' Mr Fielding said outside his house in Melbourne's mortgage and bible belt suburb of Wantirna South.
"This is an historic time in Australia's political history as we're about to see a family values-based party elected to parliament.''
With counting continuing, the Greens have not given up on winning the seat, but are infuriated by the probable outcome after claiming they were targeted by a deceptive Family First television advertising campaign in country Victoria.
Mr Risstrom said he had always faced an uphill battle after the preference deals were sown up.
"The people of Victoria should know that the Democrats and the ALP in this election made a choice to preference the Family First party ahead of the Greens, and in doing so have risked Family First forming a coalition with the Howard government to give unprecedented control of both the House of Representatives and the Australian Senate,'' Mr Risstrom said.
Mr Fielding went close to accusing the Greens of sour grapes over the result.
"This is the Australian political system, and it's a system that we've come to love and cherish,'' he said.
The close Senate battle has obscured Labor's dismal lower house performance in Victoria.
The two-party preferred swing against Labor was 3.28 per cent, compared with a national swing of 1.89 per cent.
The average along the controversial Scoresby freeway was four per cent, and as high as 6.99 per cent in the seat of Aston.
The coalition campaigned heavily in the Scoresby corridor - which includes what was Victoria's most marginal seat, Deakin - against the state government's decision to impose tolls on the road to be built in Melbourne's east.
But despite the strong anti-Labor sentiment, no Victorian seats have changed hands except McMillan, which was notionally Liberal after a redistribution last year.
Victorian Liberal leader Robert Doyle claimed the swing against Labor would continue at the next state election due in 2006.
Mr Doyle said a clear message had been sent to Victorian Premier Steve Bracks, who should reconsider his position on the freeway.
"I was out in the Scoresby corridor yesterday,'' he said. "I didn't see Steve Bracks but believe me, people were talking about him and the lie he told to the people of Victoria.''
The Liberal Party holds three of 16 state seats along the corridor, but hopes to pick up 10 in 2006.
Mr Bracks denied his decision to place tolls on the controversial Scoresby freeway cost federal Labor votes.
Earlier, pollster Gary Morgan said Family First had flown underneath the pollsters' radar and caused Labor the most damage in the federal election.
Mr Morgan said Family First had conducted an extraordinary campaign, especially on polling day itself, which had delivered it a small but significant amount of the vote.
Family First's preferences have helped return a string of coalition candidates.
Mr Morgan said Family First may signal the return of religion to Australian politics, likening it to the Catholic-supported Democratic Labor Party of the 1950s and 1960s.
''This might be the return of my grandfather's DLP support base,'' he said.
''We have now seen the return of right-wing conservative and religious-aligned party and it will be one of the biggest problems facing Labor.''
Mr Morgan said even though Family First had almost no policies, it had marketed itself extraordinarily well.
While people lined up to vote yesterday, Family First supporters were handing out pamphlets and urging people to back the party in a way that was almost superior to the major parties.
''We continue to say that up to 20 per cent of people don't make up their mind until they get into the ballot box,'' he said.
''So if you've got people walking up to you as you're lining up to vote and saying vote the family first, that is going to have a major impact.
''And you've had Mark Latham selling himself on the family front, and this just fed into that.''
Mr Morgan defended his polling for the election, saying that on almost every count it was correct.
A telephone poll taken on October 7 and 8 gave the coalition a primary vote of 45.5 per cent, Labor 38.5 per cent and the Australian Greens 9.5 per cent.
On a two-party preferred basis, Morgan declared Labor would win
Mr Morgan said the figures had come undone because Green preferences had not flowed as strongly to Labor as expected.
''We were looking at 90 per cent of preferences from the Greens going back to Labor, but it turned out to be about 70 per cent,'' he said.
Meanwhile, the Greens have not given up on winning a historic first Senate seat in Victoria, but have slammed a preference deal that could hand the seat instead to the Family First party.
Earlier today, the Greens were still short of the quota needed for Victoria's sixth Senate seat, but had enjoyed a swing of 3.14 per cent for a record 7.52 per cent of the statewide senate vote.
Greens lead Victorian candidate David Risstrom said the race for the final Senate spot was too close to call, and could take up to two weeks to determine.

Brilliance was Brilliant: Brilliance of the Seas Cruise Review by cruizer101
Overall Member Rating
Brilliance was Brilliant
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
Dining: We chose the early seating and sat with the most delightful 3 couples we have ever met on a cruise. One was from Northern California, one from Florida and one from Texas. We had a delightful server and assistant who brought each couple an extra appetizer to share of his favorite (if we didn't order it) or another he thought we "just HAD to try". We purchased the wine package in advance and they save your unfinished bottle (if you happen to leave some) and bring it to the table before your seating at the next dinner. We had 3 sea days so 3 "formal nights". My husband wore a jacket and tie and that was dressy enough--no hassles. The food was good; no complaints except my husband should have known better...you don't go to Italy and order pizza in the ship's dining room--it was awful. More We just came back (October) from a Caribbean cruise on NCL's "your way" cruising and missed having familiar faces at our dining table. I also think because you don't get to "know" your server and they you that you get sub par service. Dining service was my gripe on the NCL cruise and an occasion I looked forward to on this one.
Our cabin: was a simple balcony which was perfect for us. It was forward and starboard so cruising into Venice that afternoon was awesome. Our cabin steward was terrific. I don't think we asked for anything special but he slipped in and out without our noticing and left cute towel animals in the evening. We signed up for the auto-tip feature but left extra for both our room steward and our dining room servers.
Favorite spot on the ship: the Solarium. It is beautiful. I read 4 books on the cruise from the library and the Solarium was my favorite spot to relax, snooze or read.
Embarkation: We did what could have been a foolish thing. We flew from LA>NY>Barcelona the day we were to sail. According to our flight reservation we would arrive at 10 am and didn't have to be on the ship by until 4 pm. It seemed at the time like a good move as we had only one stop and 6 hours after arrival. It worked out perfectly but our return wasn't as lucky and I thanked my stars that we didn't have the return flight nightmare on the way to Barcelona. You really should arrive at least one day ahead. But after arriving at Barcelona airport which was very nice, quick immigration and a 30-minute taxi drive right to the ship.
Disembark and Returning Home: We easily got a taxi but after 25 euros + tip discovered were actually walking distance from the pier. Not knowing where we were going, it is just as well we let him take us. Another reason to go at least one day ahead--to get the lay of the land. Our flight home was a nightmare as we took off on schedule but had a bird strike causing the whole plane to shake and vibrate. The pilot turned around over the Mediterranean and we landed again in Barcelona. We were on the plane about 45 minutes until they decided they couldn't fly and we would have to rebook. We got our luggage and there was only 1 AA customer service agent to rebook 300+ passengers. We were in line 4 hours. Luckily someone in line let me rebook using their iPhone and we were to leave early the next day Barcelona>Paris>Fort Worth>LAX. American put us up and fed us and brought about 30 of us back before 5am. Air France doesn't know how to organize crowds. Our luggage was lost so we spent more time in line in Fort Worth to get a paper for customs. Three international flights came in at the same time so we missed our flight and ended up getting home about 10 pm Pacific time. Our luggage got a vacation to Chicago. If this circus happened in reverse it would have been sooooo costly and I would have been a wreck on vacation. Less

How about these mornings, and if you headed out without a jacket at sunrise earlier this week you found out how chilly was this first "real" cold front of the year.
All that's behind us: We're going to settle into an east-southeast wind pattern that's going to push some water levels up in the lower reaches of our coastal marshes.
But that push won't stop what the cold front started. From every point along the coast and in the rivers and bayous that feed into lakes and bays, the action on redfish, trout and bass was terrific, and catches should stay hot.
Unless something comes along from the National Marine Fisheries Service that would mitigate last week's rough conditions from TS Karen — we can only hope NMFS would add another weekend — then this is the final weekend in the bonus recreational red snapper season.
With mostly 5-10 knot southeast winds, sea conditions should run one foot or less in most areas. The exception could be along the Central Coast where a constant blow could mean 1-2 footers in the afternoons. Expect 1-2 foot offshore conditions.
The forecast calls morning lows in the mid 60s with afternoon highs in the mid 80s with a slight chance of afternoon rain.
The Mississippi River is falling on the winds and is predicted to fall from 2.9 feet to 2.4 feet by Monday on the New Orleans gauge. The Atchafalaya is holding steady at 2.2 feet on the Morgan City gauge.
North winds spurred action in the Atchafalaya Spillway, the marshes south of U.S. 90 and in the Pearl River system.
The West, Middle and East Pearl Rivers fell more than a foot Monday and bass were taking small, compact chartreuse/white/blue spinnerbaits with a smal, curly-tailed trailer early then Love Bug-colored Baby D-Bombs and Havoc June Bug-colored (red & green flaked) in most every runout and drain.
Bass action in the Spillway's south end and the Pigeon area stayed hot after the front. June Bug-colored Baby Brush Hogs and Sweet Beavers were the top producers. Stay with spinnerbaits and buzzbaits during mornings' first hours, then go to the plastics. "Punching" hyacinth mats with the same plastics produced bass in Flat Lake. Working stumps with sqaure-billed chartreuse/black crankbaits worked, too.
The Spillway sac-a-lait bite is on, but remember this species runs to deeper, darker cover when the sun gets high. Old river sac-a-lait biting best in the late afternoon around piers.
Trout are in the North Shore rivers on VuDu Shrimp and soft-plastic minnow imitations. Trout and reds showed up at Timbalier, West Timbalier and Belle Pass since Monday. Use live minnows there.

The travel market is largely dominated by older Americans, mostly people over 55. High disposable income, higher degree of disposable time, and increasingly, specific interests. Very specific interest that are not theme park expenditures. Senior day at King's Dominion down near where I live in Virginia is not a big deal. Senior day at the museum or the waterfront site or the waterfront festival or the arts festival is a very big deal. Again, people choosing to vote with their dollars where they're going to spend time and money.
Households, aged between 55 and 64, in particular, spend nearly five percent of all their spending money on travel. That's a lot of bucks. Aging baby boomers have travel as a very high priority both in the time between now and the time we retire, and after we retire. Assuming we ever get to retire. And if we retire, travel is the single highest priority. Even higher than education, because continuing education is a big deal for all of us. We want to feel we are continuing to stay on the edge.
Travel is the highest priority for retired baby boomers looking ahead saying, what are you going to do with your time? What are you going to do with your money? "I'm going to travel." Where are you going to go? "Show me what's out there." So, the demographic horse is riding in the direction of an opportunity that is at your door.
Americans are also working longer than they did. According to a recent survey by the Department of Labor, we are now working 26 percent longer per week than we did 30 years ago. Twenty-eight hundred and four hours in 1969 per year versus 3,500 hours in 1997 and it's worse now. One fourth more were working longer hours, were working all the time. And a lot of it's masked as, "well, I'm working at home. Well, I'll just check the e-mail," or "well, maybe I'll just call in, you know. I need to go in on Saturday to wrap up a couple things." We're all working too much.
Now, what that means is we're desperate for down time. We're looking for a way to take the pressure off and that translates into shorter and more frequent trips. That's good for regional tourism. And you happen to sit in a fairly significant density of population within a three or four hour travel time. So, the opportunity is out there if your offerings are, I think, packaged a little differently.
Two-thirds of all trips — remember the trips we talked about – two thirds of all trips in the United States are leisure or pleasure-based trips. Two-thirds. Sixty-six percent. Seventeen percent are business. We hear a lot about the value of the business traveler. And, it's true. The business traveler does spend more because, typically, somebody else is paying for it. And, it's driven by business. But that's only 17 percent of all the trip numbers that we have in the country. Sixty-six percent is for leisure travel. That's a huge opportunity.
Only about four percent are combined business and leisure, although that's a growing segment because we work too much. A lot of people who travel for their work are now taking their children or their spouses along and combining a business trip with a long weekend, combining a conference or business session with a short vacation. So, that's a growing segment but it's still very small. And about thirteen percent of travel is for personal or other reasons. So, less time means shorter and more frequent trips, if people know what you have to offer.
Now, what's the economic impact of the travel industry? Well, in 1999, the number of person trips in the United States — remember that's 50 miles or more for one person — was over one billion and I do know the difference between a billion and a trillion. One billion person trips happened last year. That's a lot of zeroes. That's a lot of moving around this country. That's people moving all the time.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

Joss Whedon On The S.H.I.E.L.D. Series
'It's definitely a Marvel show...'
It's still wrapped in the sort of secrecy that would make JJ Abrams smile, but Joss Whedon's S.H.I.E.LD. TV pilot is now being put through its post-production paces ready to deliver to the ABC network, and Whedon is now talking a little more about the series, even if he doesn't get into specifics.
"I'm excited about the show because it's a very hopeful show," Whedon told TVLine at the Streamy Awards this past weekend. "It's not about murder, and it's not about crime, and it's not people looking into their own belly buttons. It's about people who are trying to help each other, and that's one of the things I loved about comic books. They had costumes and the villains were cool but they stood for something, and I like doing a show that does that."
He's at pains to stress that it'll feel very much in the Marvel movie universe, even if the big heroes won't be dropping in every week to say hello. "We're trying very hard to be true to Marvel's ethos and also to the structure of their universe," Whedon says. "So it is definitely a Marvel show. But right now, I want to involve people in the characters that we've created for the show, and then we'll worry about the other stuff."
Speaking of "the other stuff," what about all that talk of Avengers' Maria Hill (AKA Cobie Smulders) possibly signing on? According to Whedon, her schedule is a little tight, but he does want to use her when he can.
The cast as it stands right now includes Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, Ming-Na as Melinda May, Chloe Bennet as Skye, Elizabeth Henstridge as Gemma Simmons, Iain De Caestecker as Leo Fitz and Brett Dalton as Grant.
ABC is still deciding whether to commission a series based on the pilot, but we're keeping our fingers, toes and eyes crossed.

Sheriffs, police chiefs, and experts tell Senate Democratic Policy Committee of dangerous results across country
Washington, DC — With violent crime rising in cities and towns across the country, and with the Bush Administration cutting funding to vital programs that help put police on the streets, local sheriffs, police chiefs, and law enforcement experts today called on Congress to take action to help them protect the American people. The officers appeared at a Senate Democratic Policy Committee hearing chaired by North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan that was investigating the effect these cuts have had on the ability of police departments to protect their communities, and they made clear the result is unmistakable.
"The reality is that we simply do not have the necessary federal support to fight the war on drugs and sweep the streets of criminals," said Ted Kamatchus, Sheriff of Marshall County, Iowa, and President of the National Sheriffs' Association.
Just last month, the FBI released a report that shows violent crime in the U.S. is on the rise, posting its biggest one-year increase since 1991. Nationwide, murders rose by 4.8% over 2005, the largest percentage increase in 15 years.
"Crime dropped in the 1990s when we made fighting crime a national priority and invested the money to put more officers on the streets," said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid at the hearing. "We need to make that same commitment today. Unfortunately, we don't see it in Washington. President Bush has dropped the ball on crime. He's dangerously underfunding our hometown security with a budget that makes our communities less safe."
"The record is clear that federal law enforcement programs were succeeding in reducing crime and doing so significantly," Senator Dorgan said. "Unfortunately, in fact, tragically, the Administration's response to that success was to cut or end the programs. The result has been exactly what one would expect. There's a lot of talk about homeland security, but the record reveals that we also need to be concerned about hometown security, and current policy isn't working."
In the last five years, the Bush Administration and its allies in Congress have slashed federal funding that helped local law enforcement agencies hire new officers to keep their cities and towns safe. The funding proved vital to drastically reducing the levels of violent crime in the early 1990s. Cities like Milwaukee, Wisconsin have seen their funding cut dangerously. In 2002, Milwaukee received in nearly $1 million in federal funding. It received zero dollars in 2005. The Milwaukee Police Department now has 55 fewer officers. Between 2004 and 2005, the city saw violent crime increase 32%. In Iowa, Sheriff Kamatchus drew a direct line between the funding cuts and a 30% decline in arrest rates.
"We are constantly being asked to do more with less," said Gary Hagler, Chief of Police in Flint, Michigan, a city that has seen its funding drop to zero from nearly $2 million in 2000. "The Federal Government asks us to be vigilant in investigating Homeland Security issues and in gathering intelligence, both of which are time consuming endeavors. I believe that we have reached our saturation point. We cannot continue to take on additional responsibilities without supplementary funding sources for police personnel and equipment. I would charge that critics of community policing and COPS funding have not had first hand experience with the violence and death found upon the streets of some of our most crime ridden cities."
Violent crime in Flint is up 34% since 2001.
Minneapolis, Minnesota received nearly 70% less funding from 2002 to 2006 than from 1994 to 2001. Said Timothy J. Dolan, Chief of the Minneapolis Police Department, "In 1996, prior to the Block Grants, the city was labeled 'Murderopolis', by the New York Times, due to a spike in murders that year (in 1997, we had a 50% decrease). After a decade of 'holding our own,' due in part to grant funding, the MPD is now experiencing challenges in the growing violent crime rate. There is no doubt that additional well-equipped officers are needed to combat the current rise in crime in Minneapolis. 2005 showed a 15% increase in Part I Crimes."
The officers were blunt in their criticism, pointing out just why a commitment to supporting local law enforcement is more important than ever.
"At a time when law enforcement agencies have to be extra vigilant in protecting our communities from foreign and domestic terrorism, as well as carry on our traditional law enforcement role, the reduction of federal grant funds will not only have an adverse impact on local communities, but our nation as a whole," said Brian O'Keefe, Deputy Chief of Police at the Milwaukee Police Department.
It was a concern backed up by criminal justice experts as well, who pointed the finger squarely at the White House.
"The President is clearly playing politics with policing, and jeopardizing us all in the process," said James Alan Fox, the Lipman Professor of Criminal Justice at Northeastern University. "Looking back over the last decade, it was the federal government's initiative to add 100,000 police officers through the COPS Office, that was key to much of the success in cutting crime through the 1990s."
The hearing was a sobering reminder of the dangerous effects that bad decisions in Washington can have across America. With violent crime rates on the rise, Professor Fox was clear: "Let this small upturn serve as a thunderous wake-up call down in the nation's capital that crime prevention, police funding, and gun control need to be a priority once again."

No Andre Iguodala. That pretty much told the story tonight. The depleted Sixers showed a lot of heart in coming back multiple times, but Portland was just too much for Philly on the last night of their 5-game road trip and the second night of a back-to-back.
Charts (rotations later)
- Well Turner, this was your big chance and you came up small. Foul trouble put a kink in a decent start and Turner wasn't a factor at all the rest of the way. Disappointing, to say the least.
- I thought Jrue and Brand would have to carry the load if the Sixers had a chance. They had a chance, but those guys both had off games on the offensive end. I thought Jrue dealt with Batum's length well in that he was still distributing and he wasn't turning the ball over, but he only shot 3/11 from the floor. The 10 assists to only 1 turnover is a positive, though.
- Lou is your player of the game. His scoring brought the team back multiple times, and it's enough for me to overlook the dumb mistakes on his part.
- I can't tell you how old it's gotten to look at the schedule and see the Sixers starting a game with a distinct disadvantage before you even look at who's playing for the other team. I hope Thorn and Collins can make enough noise to get a more favorable schedule next season.
- I hate to play the what if game, but I think it's a certainty that Wes Matthews doesn't score 28 on 15 shots with Iguodala covering him all night. I'd also venture a guess that Wallace wouldn't have been such a difference maker with Iguodala's size and athleticism out there. I don't know how serious Iguodala's injury is, and I'm sure sitting him was the prudent thing to do, but I really wanted him on the floor. I think this game goes down differently with him on the floor.
- 2-3 on the road trip. Tied for 6th. Time to lick your wounds and head home for a very important game with the Hawks.
- The Sixers who played tonight don't have any reason to hang their heads. Tough circumstances against a good team. They got down big early and they never gave up. It would've been easy to have one foot on the flight home at the half, but they didn't.
Player of The Game: Lou Williams

MegaCorp guaranteed they would beat up to 80% of intruders.

Thanks Speedie.....food for thought for sure.
That song has sure been a timely message for me at times in my life. Just my way of keeping Chantell in my prayers... while she's waiting.
Thank you for the continued prayer - waiting is never easy...but my 'woes' are nothing compared to others...thank you - thank you!!! Big hugs!!
Dear Chantall, I say almost every day at work (retirement community): A loss is a loss, no matter what perspective you look at it from. Your issues are very real, no matter how hard others have it. May you find comfort in your gardening friends, lovers of the Earth, and believers of our God.
Been lifting you in prayer, my friend, since I got a heads-up at Sally's on Friday.
All will be well, and all will be well, and all manner of things will be well.
Still sending positive thoughts your way.
Me too.
Count me in as well!!!
Well my friends...your prayers and support have been priceless. I received THE call this afternoon offering me the position I really wanted - this will put me back into the medical environment that feels like 'home' to me. This is early intervention for little ones under 3 years of age. The folks I met during both interviews come across compassionate and kind-hearted...it's a different world from the divorce law environment. I am so blessed by so many things - you ALL are included. I would ask that you keep the other applicant in prayer as well as my office mgr and boss. It's my plan to speak to them on Friday...causes me a bit of anxiety as I've never had to do this before. Above all - please remember Becky tomorrow as she starts her chemo.... Hugs to you all!!
I'm so glad I "checked in" once more this evening... Congratulations! What fun to think of you having THE job you were searching for rather than *a* job, any job. :-)
"Compassionate and kind-hearted" describes you to a T, also... praying that this really will prove to be THE job, both in terms of your daily work and the people you work with.
**happy dance**!!!! < =D
Congratulations Chantell - the job sounds perfect for you and I can hear the excitement from the words that you posted. I am so happy for you.
Sooo glad you are able to get back 'home'. Praising God for His supply. Doing the happy dance here, too
Will certainly be praying for the other applicant as well as dear Becky.

Fabrice Lapierre is planning a coaching change and a potential move back to Australia after a hamstring injury hampered his failed Commonwealth Games long jump defence in Glasgow.
US-based Lapierre finished fourth with a season's best jump of 8.00m, placing him 20cm shy of gold medallist and reigning Olympic champion Gregory Rutherford of England.
Lapierre only missed bronze by eight centimetres, but admits hurting his hamstring with his first jump virtually ended his belief that he could go back-to-back following his victory in Delhi 2010.
Sitting out his next two jumps in the hope his hamstring would settle, Lapierre said he worsened the damage by returning, but did so out of pride.
"I probably should have pulled out after the first round, but as defending champion you don't want to give it up," he said.
"You want to fight for your title. It might not be smart in the end but that's how it goes.
"That was a medal that got away."
Lapierre says he has no intention of competing again for the foreseeable future as he looks to take his career in a new direction.
The 30-year-old has continued living in the US after attending the University of Texas as a scholarship athlete, but says there's a possibility he could return as he looks to return to his best ahead of the Rio Olympics in 2016.
"I'm going to change coaches. I'm still finalising that. It'll be either in the States or an opportunity in Australia," he said.
"I'm not going to compete again this year. I'm just focusing on next year and the year after.
"My focus is on ... getting my body healthy and hopefully get a medal at the Olympics and world champs."
Queenslander Robbie Crowther finished sixth with a best jump of 7.96m while Henry Frayne failed to register a mark.

Except if you are an aware human being you are a witness to history. ---------------- Nobody living today witnessed the events of 147 years ago, so you have no point to make in this. People who write a book and want to present themselves as authoritative historians have an obligation, to themselves if not anyone else, to winnow out falsehoods and fiction from what is specified as history. ---------------- I suggest you read Mr. Joad's excellent post again. Either something happened or it didn't even if we didn't see it. Authors, if they want to call their work history need to cull fiction and blatant errors from their works if they want to maintain their integrity. ------------------ What do you make of the first edition of Martin's book on July 1, 1863? It has been suggested that I am a liar with no rebuke from the moderators to the person making the assertion. ------------------- Actually, you've been treated as someone with the intellectual integrity to be held to the same standard as you want to impose on others. If you don't want to be held to the same standard you want to impose on others, then just tell us you don't have that intellectual integrity and we'll adjust accordingly. I have learned that some people in the GDG like having fiction and blatant errors, deliberate or otherwise, mixed in with their history. And that's OK. It's their lives. -------------------- Ah, another inaccurate claim. Once again, to use your own standard, I suppose that would mean you are a "lying author" who deliberately distorts the truth. Of course, in my opinion, it's just a mistaken interpretation on your part. But if we're going to be consistent, we need to hold you to the same standard you want for others. Since what you wrote is not a fact, then you're also breaking your "just the facts" motto as well. I am just personally of the camp that if I read a book categorized as history to be only the facts and no fiction --------------------- Or only what you consider to be the facts. "Just the facts, ma'am." ----------------------- Except you don't really believe that, since you are free and loose with making inaccurate claims about others. Best Regards, Al Mackey
