Digital Lessons TV Should Learn From Music Companies: Watch The Rising Waters
by Wayne Friedman on Nov 26, 11:15 AM
Traditional big media will only really become new media when there is a digital revenue tipping point -- so one theory might go. One music company, Atlantic Records, seems to have hit that mark, now getting more revenues from digital platforms than its traditional businesses. How far behind are TV companies?

Weak TV Ad Market? What About Prime-time Infomercials?
by Wayne Friedman on Nov 25, 11:30 AM
Now that Fox has officially abandoned kids' programming after dropping its time-buy agreement with TV producer 4Kids Entertainment, its next step seems less about programming than about plugging a financial hole. Fox is going with all advertising on Saturday mornings, becoming the first broadcast network to regularly schedule infomercials.

Kids' Obesity Problems Go Beyond Television
by Wayne Friedman on Nov 21, 10:45 AM
Cut back on a diet of fast-food commercials for kids, and you'll be cutting back on their weight. How about cutting back on their parents' influence as well?

Video Streaming: Solution To Conference Slowdowns?
by Wayne Friedman on Nov 20, 1:00 PM
Executives at TV and media conferences everywhere fear the economy will slow down their attendance and revenues -- especially during the next six months, when the recession will take its biggest bite. Analysts are already saying events like NATPE, TVB, NAB, NCTA, RTNDA and the AAAA Media Conference could be in trouble this spring. My suggestion: Ramp up marketing efforts for future conferences by offering more free live and previously recorded streaming video of seminars and sessions.

Recession's Upside: Better Ratings From Unhappier Viewers
by Wayne Friedman on Nov 19, 9:45 AM
TV executives should love unhappy TV viewers. In a weakening economy, with advertising dollars slipping away, more TV viewers with sad faces could be the silver lining.

Hulu Good For Traditional TV Advertisers; YouTube, Not So Much
by Wayne Friedman on Nov 18, 3:30 PM
NBC's lowly fourth-place position among TV networks is in direct counterpoint to its growing Internet video position. Glowing press reviews of NBC Universal and News Corp's joint-venture Internet video Web site, Hulu.com, now promise even better news. With some $70 million in total revenues -- virtually all advertising revenues -- Hulu's numbers are getting close to, dare we say, YouTube.

Happy TV Dreaming: Consumers Think Everyone Will Get HDTV
by Wayne Friedman on Nov 13, 10:30 AM
Television terms such as HDTV, digital TV, and VOD can be confusing -- especially to the average Joe. Now matter how hard your Best Buy salesperson explains things, not everyone may have a full understanding of the new television tech language.

text: Hey everyone, Long-time lurker, first time poster. I'm getting ready to be a summer associate in New York this summer at a "business casual" firm. I have the standard pair of black Park Aves for suits but I also have a pair of Walnut Sanfords as well. I was wondering if the Sanfords would be too flashy for a summer associate when worn without a suit. Trying to straddle the line of looking good without standing out. Do you think it would be worth it to invest in no-brogue bulchers? Thanks in advance.

iCrayon Capacitive Stylus for Touchscreen Smartphones and Tablets
Crayons are meant to be used on paper. Here's one crayon that can be used on the display screen of a smartphone. This crayon stylus doesn't come with a staining pigment and won't make the screen of a smartphone dirty, unlike a real crayon.
This stylus, called the iCrayon is made to look like the crayon we may have used as a child. It's not for drawing on paper but for use as a stylus on capacitive touchscreens of smartphones or tablets. It sure looks much cooler using the colorful iCrayon stylus compared to using a slim one that comes in a overly common color like cold steel or black. The soft squishy tip that it comes with will not leave ugly scratches or damage the touchscreen.
The cute iCrayon capacitive stylus retails for $7.60 from Amazon.

Style: 32854101 Colour:
Handmade dream catcher with crochet middle and embellished fringe decoration. Embellishment is made up of ribbon, beading, and feathers. Crystal and wooden accents.
Kindergarten art
The picture appears much more lush and thick. However, I was surprised to find that the tassels were made of cheap ribbon, which appear to be sloppily glued on. It was nowhere near the quality that I thought it was by looking at the pictures, and it is much smaller than it appears. It's not worth $78, and it will be going back. Maybe if it was made my Native American's for charity it might be worth it, but as it stands it is very cheaply made.
very tiny but pretty
this dreamcatcher is very small. It is dainty and unique, but I can not see why it is so expensive. I got the purple one and will keep watching the pink to see if it goes down to an appropriate price. I collect dream catchers due to suffering from night terrors. I think this one is just a pretty decoration.

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!

Apple files for Smart Cover inductive charging patent for iPad
Apple's new Smart Cover for the iPad has a lot of potential, and it seems the company thinks so as well. Case in point: Apple just applied for a patent that would see the Smart Cover being used as a wireless charger to charge up the iPad when the Smart Cover is closed. Both the iPad and Smart Cover would have induction coils to make the wireless charging possible.

Mikel saga continues
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The John Obi Mikel saga shows few signs of coming to and end.The John Obi Mikel saga shows few signs of coming to and end following a fresh statement from his solicitors.
Sir Alex Ferguson rekindled the debate over the Nigerian's future on Friday when stating that he still wanted the 18-year-old at Old Trafford.
Fifa are still probing Mikel's proposed transfer to Manchester United from Lyn, as the player claims he was duped into signing for The Red Devils and now wants to move to Chelsea - who have tracked the player for a number of years.
Following Ferguson's statement, Mikel reacted himself in an interview - and now his legal team have issued a new press release.
"Mikel wishes to reiterate that whatever Sir Alex Ferguson, for whom he has the utmost respect, may think, his wish is to play for Chelsea," said the statement issued on behalf of Mikel by London-based solicitors Russells.
"Hopefully, Sir Alex and Manchester United will now respect and accept that decision so that a resolution to this matter can finally be found."

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thanks for your question. My name isXXXXX and I am here to help you today. I will be happy to help you with your follow-up questions also.
I am myself an ENT surgeon with special interest in nasal surgery.
I will try to address your concerns first.
Your age is not going to affect you regarding this surgery.
Thin skin is one factor but at 69 the skin is bit lax so it's good from that aspect.
You can expect major recovery in 2 to 3 weeks but otherwise the swelling can remain there to some extent for 3 months.
But you can resume your activities in 2 weeks easily. Even you can do this early.
Sneezing cannot cause fracture but can displace the repaired area.
You just have to avoid sneezing for 2 weeks.
The point is how to do this.
OTC tab claritin is good for it.
Take it once daily.
Moreover whenever you feel that you are going to sneeze just start pressing your upper lip area just below nose.
This will help you to avoid sneezing.
I wish you all the best for your surgery.
I hope i have answered your concerns but please ask if you have any question because our discussion always remains open so you can always ask more till you are satisfied, You can click the smiley to rate the answer. You can come back here to ask anything even after you have rated the answer. I will be glad to help you always.
Dear Dr. Hasan,
Thank you for your thorough reply. When you mentioned swelling for up to three months, do you mean noticeable swelling? , I have a widening near the top of my nose where it looks like the bones pushed out. It has been four weeks and I still have pain from this injury. I am told I cannot have surgery until at least October. If I choose not to have the surgery, will there have any health considerations other than for aesthetic appearance? Prior to this injury, I had what I felt was an "ideal" nose, but do not want to do the surgery purely based on wanting my "old nose" back.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/ICarly (resubmit)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit ICarly
I got a review previously, however, it appears as though the reviewer did not get what I was trying to do. This is an ip "vandalism" of the ICarly article. I added some comments in the footnote section, links, and the pic, but the text itself is unedited.
I am fully aware that some people might not find this type of article funny because of the over-arching concept. However, I still want to improve the current version of this article. Mn-z 22:53, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
- I may get to it sometime today or tomarrow, but anybody is happy to review it. And sorry, your right I did not get what you were saying the first time I reviewed this, I think I review this twice, but a third time wont hurt.--DirectorWILLYOU 333Talk IF YOU DARE 02:58, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok After reading this I declare this article mine. 2 hours--DirectorWILLYOU 333Talk IF YOU DARE 03:19, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
|I decided to review this again since my first time reviewing this I was new to pee reviewing.
Honestly I see what you're doing now, unlike last time; this was made by someone who vandalized the article. Making humor of the people who talk crap about the article seems like a good concept. Unfortunately, I see many problems this person made. First, all the paragraphs are too short to desirable lengths. Some have one sentence; others have three, which have few words. The person who made this probably barely put any effort into this.
Second, this article is clearly not to be humorous, but to defend iCarly and bash Uncyclopedia and the users who work on here. He probably read the other one and got mad (and he probably got banned). So obviously this wasn't meant for humor.
Third, the point of view, in my opinion, sucks big gorilla dick. First-person should not be use in articles such as this one unless the writer does a good job at it, and in this case, this sucks. A example is Lazy Town, which is a good example made by Orian57.
First, the best thing to do is to change the tone of the article and make from a bash on Uncyclopedians to state the true facts and busting some false facts as well as criticizing people who believe in such crap, but not in the nature as it is currently in.
Second, change the point of view of the article. I prefer to use third person in this article and refrain from any first person sentences, unless it is like the example I showed above.
Third, Make the sentences longer. The one thing I hate most of all is paragraphs which has one sentence and has nothing else to support it and makes the article very messy
Fourth, change the title of the article to iCarly: The True Story or something like that, but this is optional
|Since this is a bash on people who make fun of ICarly and pointing out the truths, would be a good concept, but how it was written completely kills the concept.
|Prose and formatting:
|At least the previous editor had good handwriting
|I see one, but it's a start, maybe put down images of people who talk shit about iCarly, as well as images from the show
|My overall grade of this article
|Final Score:
|I think I did a better job than last time, and I truly hope you turn this into a swell article. If you any questions, you can always go to my talk page and I'll be happy to answer them. Good Luck!
|--DirectorWILLYOU 333Talk IF YOU DARE 04:47, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

The Homeless Guy Doesn't Want To Be A Cavalier, Either
If you're reading this, then you're on the internet, and if you're on the internet then you've seen the video of Ted Williams, the homeless man with the golden voice. Find out what he and LeBron have in common.
Roughly one week ago, Ted Williams was living on the side of the road, begging for money from passers-by. One week, and a hefty 15 seconds of fame later, he has been offered a PA job with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he has been offered a house by Quicken Loans, the company that sponsors the building in which the Cleveland Cavaliers play. Sounds great, right?
Hold that thought. Mr. Williams is considering other options before agreeing to a job with the Cavaliers. Reportedly, Williams also has offers from Kraft Foods, MSNBC and NFL Films. So, what do Clevelanders do when their chosen son is thinking about taking his talents elsewhere? They create a freaking website to beg for him to stay. The Cavs have gone so far as to start a website (wewanttedwilliams.com) in attempts to have fans post messages that will persuade the man to come to work for them. So, let's recap: The Cavaliers first made this man an offer, he is considering working elsewhere, so they have created a fan-based website in an attempt to woo him. Is this beginning to remind you of anyone else? (If you don't see the parallels to LeBron by now, you're simply not trying.)
Cavaliers' vice president of marketing, Tracy Marek went so far as to say:
"We're going to start with our heart first…from the perspective that this is an amazing individual who has a lot of components in him that represent who we are and what our DNA is."
See that's where you're wrong, Cleveland. Your DNA isn't filled with hope and opportunity, it's filled with bitterness and losing tendencies. I assume that throughout his tumultuous life, Ted Williams has had his fare share of both of the latter qualities. I look forward to hearing Mr. Williams' voice for years to come in ads for Kraft Foods, promos for MSNBC and over the unmistakable NFL Films music; just not in Cleveland.

bit on this and wasn't paying attention. did the "time saver" thing too without noticing. any way to reverse that? was about half way through the game. want to get the stuff on my own.
It's a pain in the ass, but you can. If you delete the Game Data from Burnout Paradise, it'll delete the DLC as well. You'll have to re-download ALL the patches though, which takes 15-20 minutes or so. But it appears to work.
Edit: Caveat - I downloaded the DLC, and then did the above BEFORE I actually started up the game. So I don't know what effect it'll have if you've already started up the game with Timesaver installed, and then saved.

Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2003 17:46:10 -0500 (EST)
The West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser, 17 March 1887, Thursday
Information For Creditors - Owen J. Rees, clothier, 15, The Terrace,
Penzance; receiving order on debtor's petition granted at the Truro
Court, March (?)th. Charles H. Lowry, grocer, 2, Arwenack-street,
Falmouth; last day for receiving proof, March 25th.
Death of the Dowager Lady St. Aubyn - The Dowager Lady St. Aubyn, mother
of Sir John St. Aubyn, M.P. for the St. Ives Division of Cornwall, and
(?) Mr. Edward St. Aubyn, steward of the Manor of Stoke (?)merel, died
on Friday afternoonat Courteen Hall, Northampton, where her ladyship had
been staying for some time past with her daughter, Lady Wake. A (?)gram
announcing the death was received at the manor (?)dge, Devonport, on
Friday evening. The news caused (litt?)le surprise, as the deceased lady
had been seriously ill (for?) a long while, and death was expected. Her
ladyship was 81 years of age. The news was not known at St. Michael's
Mount and Marazion until Saturday morning, when flags were at once
lowered to half-mast.
Accident at Penwethers - On Saturday Harry (?)son, a labourer, of Truro,
while at work at the new (?)wethers viaduct, on the West Cornwall
Railway, fell (a?) distance of 15 feet, cutting his head, and bruising
his (?) severely. He was first removed to the Royal Cornwall Infirmary,
where his wounds were attended to by (?) Rundle, the house surgeon, and
was then taken to his (home?). It is hoped the injuries are not serious.
The Absconding Truro Bankrupt - Sergt. French, who left England on the
11th February en route for Cape Town, for the purpose of bringing home
Charles Langdon, of Truro, who was arrested there on board the s.s.
"Kaikoura" under the Debtors Act, 1860, is now on his way to England
with Langdon in charge. He sailed from the Cape on Wednesday last, and
is expected to reach Plymouth on the 29th inst.
Church Parade - The two Truro companies of Volunteers attended Divine
service at Kenwyn Church on Sunday morning, under the command of Major
Tregoning. There was a good muster, and the procession on returning from
the church was accompanied by a large crowd, the sweet music discoursed
by the band being, no doubt, the source of attraction. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. Canon Moore.
Penryn - Fecundity in Lambing - Messrs. J. and W. Boaden, of Trenarth
Farm, Constantine, have three ewes which have given birth to ten lambs;
nine are doing well.
"Methodist Hymn Worship" - At the Falmouth Wesleyan Institute, on Monday
last, Mr. Ernest A. Banks read an interesting paper on "Methodist Hymn
Worship - Ancient and Modern." The paper was illustrated by a number of
fine specimens of Methodist hymnology, several of which were admirably
rendered by a quartet of vocalists, composed of Miss Banks, Miss Frances
Banks, R.A.M., Mr. C.W. Chard (Penryn), and Mr. W.G. Millett. Mr. A.
Banks played the organ-harmonium accompaniments. There was a large
attendance of members, and also a number of ladies and gentlemen as
visitors, who were present by invitation. Mr. Edward Banks, one of the
vice-presidents of the Institute, occupied the chair. At the close a
hearty vote of thanks was given to Mr. E.A. Banks for his paper, and to
the vocalists for the excellent services they had rendered.
Railway Accident Near Chacewater - Some delay was experienced by
passengers on the West Cornwall Railway between Truro and Redruth on
Tuesday morning, the rod of the engine drawing the down train due at
Redruth shortly before 10 o'clock having broken in the neighbourhood of
Chacewater, and the permanent way having been torn up. It was nearly one
o'clock when a train, drawn by the reversed engine of the 10.53 up train
arrived at Redruth with the passengers of the trains which were due
there at 9.52 and 11. 57 respectively.
Suicide at St. Austell - William Luke a well-known pedlar, who lived at
Carvath, St. Austell, hanged himself on Tuesday. It appears that the
deceased had been in ill-health for some weeks. His wife, on going out
to work, left him in bed, and his daughter, who is in a situation in the
ton, own going home about six o'clock, found the door fastened on the
inside. Her suspicion being aroused, she raised an alarm, and some
neighbours, who forced an entrance, found the body of Mr. Luke suspended
in the kitchen. The rope was cut, and a doctor at once summoned. It was
found that Luke had been dead some six hours.
Property Sales at Redruth - On Wednesday, the 9th inst., Mr. J.M.
Martyn, auctioneer, of Helston, offered for sale at Tibb's Hotel,
Redruth, all that very desirable freehold dairy, tenements, lands, and
premises, situate at Carnvallack and Carn Meor, Stithians, comprising
three cottages, and about 17s. 2r. 3p. of splendid arable pasture,
together with righs, &c., of adjoining tenements of 9s. 3r. 11p. of
waste and moor lands, now £29, subject to an indenture of lease for 99
years, determinable on the decease of one life, now 53 years, at an
annual conventionary rent of £1, and £1 heriot. This lot was started
in £250 by Mr. Roach, and Mr. Roberts, of Bodmin, bid £300; then Mr.
Pryor bid £325. This being the highest bid obtainable, the reserve
being £380, it was withdrawn from the sale, according to the
conditions read by the auctioneer, and eventually bought by Mr. Pryor
for £360. Mr. Hocking offered for sale at same place and time all that
beautiful dairy land and premises, &c., situated at Carnvallack.
consisting of about 36 acres of good arable pasture, and about 10 acres
of waste and moor land, subject to the conditions of sale read, in one
undivided lot. Mr. Treloar, of Stithians, started the bidding with
£750, and after repeated bids, eventually Mr. Treloar's highest bid
(£975) being much below the reserve price, it was withdrawn, and
afterwards bought by Mr. Moore, of Stithians, for £1,150. After this
Mr. Hocking offered two small lots of 6s. 2r. 4p. of good arable pasture
and tenements, &c., now in the occupation of Mrs. Martin, called Carn
Meor, and also 8s. 2r. 29p. adjoining ground, in the occupation of Mr.
W. Andrews, at a fair rental. Mr. John Grey started the biddings with
£560, and by different bids it reached £720 by Mr. Roberts, of
Bodmin; but, as the reserve was £850, it was withdrawn, but afterwards
sold to Mr. Moore for £800.
There was a very fair attendance.
Football - Dark Blue v. Liskeard - Played on Saturday at Liskeard, and
after a well-contested game resulted in a draw in favour of the Dark
Blues by a touch-in-goal and five saves to nil. Messrs. Lyle, Burns,
Betts, and Pearse played well for the Dark Blues, as did Messrs.
Cornish, Smith, and Clarke for Liskeard.
Redruth County Court - Tuesday - Before Mr. Montague Bere, (?). C.,
Judge. A Committal - In this case, in which the defendant John Thomas,
is a farm labourer of Tuckingmill, and the plaintiff, Nicholas Langdon,
a grocer at the same place, his Honour made an order committing the
defendant to prison for 15 days for contempt of Court in not obeying an
order made upon him in respect to a debt due to the plaintiff.
Action Against Redruth Drapers - His Honour Judge Bere resumed the
hearing of the case in which Miss Mary Kathleen Glanville, a milliner,
sued Messrs. E.M. Broad and Sons, of Redruth, for the sum of £16 19s.
1d., which she claimed to be due to her for services rendered. The
plaintiff, it will be remembered, alleged that she had been wrongfully
dismissed from the
service of the defendants, and the amount claimed was part of a year's
salary due from the plaintiff to the defendants for goods supplied. Mr.
C.V. Thomas again appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Henry Grylis for
the defendants. When the case was called on, Miss Glanville who, it will
be remembered, was on the last occasion removed from the Court in a
fainting condition, again went into the box, and was further
cross-examined by Mr. Grylis. She said that she was accused by Mr. Edwin
Broad of stealing a hat for Mrs. Truran, but she denied that any such
act had been committed by her. She was quite certain that she had not
admitted any act of theft. Witness had been accused of taking some fawn
netts and other articles, but this she totally denied. Witness had never
taken away balls of twine from the workroom. - Mrs. Elizabeth Jane
Truran, a dressmaker, in giving evidence for the defence, corroborated
the statements in chief made by Miss Glanville. When Mr. Broad told her
that he should discharge her for receiving a hat which Miss Glanville
stole for her, she indignantly denied connection with any such
transaction. Mr. Broad ordered her out, and told her that if she did not
go he would kick her out. - Mr. Edwin Broad, a member of the defendant's
firm, was then sworn, and detailed the chief incidents of the interview
between himself and Miss Glanville and Mrs. Truran in the presence of
witnesses. Miss Glanville was engaged, at a salary of £35 pre annum,
to execute her own orders. Witness received the anonymous letter
produced on the Wednesday before the Friday, when he questioned the
plaintiff and Mrs. Truran. He had no idea who wrote the letter. He could
not give any accurate account of the words and in the course of the
conversation. Miss Glanville fainted, and witness then left the room and
sent Miss Mitchell in to attend to her. Mrs. Truran admitted that she
took the hat, but said that she was going to pay for it. That was three
weeks after the hat had been taken away. Mrs. Truran accused Miss
Glanville of taking the hat and the materials, and Miss Glanville, being
questioned, did not deny having taken these and other articles. In
cross-examination, witness admitted that the head of each department had
entered against her all material sent up to her room. At the end of the
week she sent down her own book, in which she had to account for all
material she used. Miss Glanville answered frankly all the questions
asked. - Mr. Broad was answering further questions, when his Honour
severely remarked - Why did you not say all this in your evidence in
chief? You said that you could not remember the conversation, and now it
is being dragged out of you in cross-examination. Mr. Fred Broad gave
evidence in corroboration of his brother's statement. - His Honour,
after evidence had altogether failed in their contention that Miss
Glanville was guilty of dishonesty, and that that was the only ground on
which they had urged their right to dismiss her. He accordingly gave
judgment for plaintiff in three months salary, with costs. Execution,
however, was stayed for a month in order that defendants might apply, if
necessary, for a new trial before a jury.
Narrow Escape at Porthleven - On Wednesday, 9th inst., about six p.m., a
little boy, named Hosking, son of one of the crew of the s.s. "Bride,"
which vessel was lying alongside the wharf, fell over between the wharf
and the steamer into the water. The tide was high at the time, and the
steamer was afloat. The accident was witnessed by some fisherman, who
immediately ran to the rescue, and after some difficulty rescued him
from his perilious position. The child was not only in danger of
drowing, but of being squeezed to death.
Cruelty to Animals - At the Helston Police-court, on Saturday, James
Bettison, 'bus driver, was summoned for working a horse in an unfit
state on February 26th at Helston, and John Croser, innkeeper and 'bus
proprietor, was summoned for allowing the animal to be worked. Inspector
Greenwell, R.S.P.C.A., found Bettison working two horses in a 'bus at
Helston on the day in question. One of these horses had on its shoulder
three old raw suppurating wounds. The discharge from them had saturated
the collar when it had come in contact with the wounds, causing the
animal great pain. The animal was, by directions of the inspector, taken
home and the wounds pointed out to Croser, and he told the inspector
"that it was impossible for him to keep his horses' shoulders right with
the work they had to do." P.C. Wedlock corroborated the inspector as to
the wounds, and Bettison was find [?]. [rest of the two or three lines

A Cornishman's Funeral in Genoa - The funeral of Mr. Daniel Jenkyn, son
of Mr. Thomas Jenkyn, Halsetown, St. Ives, who died in Genoa on the 20th
February, took place at Genoa, in the Protestant part of the Genoa
cemetery at Stagheins. There was a large attendance. Mr. Thomas Jenkyn
was represented by his son, Mr. T. E. Jenkyn.
Mr. Thomas Bayley Potter, M.P. for Rochdale, the chairman of the Cobden
Club, now in his 60th year, has become a wedded husband once again. He
has married a young Cornish lady, whose father is described as the late
Mr. John Hicks, of Bodmin. Mr. Potter was married at Brixton on Thursday
in a quiet way. Most of his friends have heard the announcement of the
end of his widowerhood for the first time to-day.
A "Jubilee" Pauper - Among the relief cases mentioned at the meeting of
the Liskeard Board of Guardians on Saturday was that of a "jubilee
pauper." Ann Collins, of Polruan, it was stated, began to have parish
pay in 1837. At that time she had 2s. a week, which was continued for
seven years. Then came an interval of 18 years, during which time she
managed to support herself. But 25 years ago she applied for relief
again, and has been receiving 2s. 6d. a week ever since. In all Ann
Collins has received about £200 in relief.
The Sale of Trebartha Mine - In regard to the claim of Mr. J.W. Murch,
auctioner, against Mr. C.S. Edgar, solicitor, Sunderland, which was part
heard at the Stonehouse County Court a month ago and referred to Mr. W.
Harrison, solicitor, the arbitrator's award was made known at the Court
on Monday. The claim was made for services in connection with the sale
of Treburtha mine, St. Columb, and was put at £50. The arbitrator's
award was for £10 10s., each party paying their own costs and sharing
the costs of the arbitration. Mr.Shelly was for the plaintiff; Mr. T.H.
Geake (Batchelor and Geake) for the defendant. Mr. Geake applied to the
Court for costs, because the action was defended on good grounds. His
Honour, however, refused the application.
Penzance - Newlyn Lighthouse - The new lighthouse at Newlyn Harbour will
be lighted on and after the 20th inst. by a white quick-flashingor
occulting light.
The Boskenna Estates - Mr. Henry Laity, of Tregurno, St. Buryan, has
been appointed by Mr. C.H. Paynter, Steward of the whole of the Boskenna
St. Ives - Fatal Mine Accident at St. Ives - An accident, attended by
fatal consequences, occurred at Console mine, St. Ives, on Tuesday
afternoon. The forenoon "cors" having finished their shift, were coming
to surface in the usual way, when one of them - Edwin Trevorrow -
contrary to the mine regulations, entered the "kibble" as the easiest
way. He was within reach of the surface when the wire rope broke, and
the skip with its unfortunate occupant fell to the bottom of the shaft,
a distance of 30 fms. Death must have been instantaneous. Trevorrow was
45 years of age, and leaves a widow and a numerous family.
Notes from St. Austell - It is rumoured that a local breach of promise
case is shortly to be heard.
Illogan Primitive Methodists - The Primitive Methodists at Broad Lane,
Illogan, are about to erect a new chapel, the old structure being rather
too small for the congregations that assemble there. Mr. W. Whetter, of
Redruth, is the architect.

The federal government's carbon tax plan will hurt families and drive a budget deficit, opposition climate spokesman
"The carbon tax will not work, will hurt families," Mr Hunt said in an address to the Lowy Institute in Sydney on Monday.
He added that the tax would lead to the leakage of local manufacturing to countries with higher emissions profiles.
The government's modelling indicates that by 2020, Australia will be spending around $3.5 billion on nearly 100 million tonnes of international permits, the bulk of which will be paid overseas, he said.
"This is creating a permanent structural deficit for this country," he said.
No one else in the world, including the biggest emissions sources of China, India and the US, is about to adopt a carbon tax and the EU system is not nearly as punitive as the government's scheme, he said.
"The Australian carbon tax will be 18 times larger than the EU's entire comparable system," he said, adding they are as similar as "a bowling ball to a pea".
A carbon tax scheme "has been rejected by the world and will be rejected by the world for good reason", he added.
The coalition's incentive-based Direct Action climate policy will reduce emissions without any cost to families, Mr Hunt said.
"People respond better to carrots than sticks, people respond better to incentives [rather] than punishment," he said.
The government's proposed compensation for families in the wake of a carbon tax is a "hoax", Mr Hunt told reporters after the address.
Mr Hunt pointed to an increase in marginal tax rates that he said the government tried to hide when announcing the carbon tax scheme on Sunday.
"The Prime Minister did not want Australian families to know that marginal tax rates are going up 15-19 per cent and 30-33 per cent," Mr Hunt said.
"This is an assault on the cost of living and what we discover is that the compensation was always a hoax."
The government has said nine of out 10 households would be compensated through tax cuts or payment rises
Mr Hunt said the carbon tax would also create a "another budget black hole" of $4.3 billion of deficit in the first four years of the scheme alone.
The coalition was determined to fight the carbon tax at every step, he added.
"The door is open to any Labor MP to rethink their position on the carbon tax and cross the floor," Mr Hunt said.

Dominador Gomez
Dominador Gomez (1868 - 1929) was a physician, propagandist, labor leader and legislator. He succeeded Isabelo De Los Reyes as the Union Obrera Democratica (UOD) leader.
Early years
Gomez studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomas but finished his degree in Madrid, Spain. He joined the group of young and patriotic middle-class Filipinos of intelligence, courage, and prominence led by Dr. Jose Rizal and Marcelo H. del Pilar, the same group who organized the Propaganda Movement to work in Spain for political and social reforms in the Philippines. Under the pseudonym "Ramiro Franco", he supported the movement through his contributions for the official publication of the organization, La Solidaridad, which he also helped finance from 1889 to 1895.
Labor activist
As the new president of the newly reorganized Union Obrero Democratica de Filipinas, the first labor union in the Philippines, Dominador Gomez encouraged the establishment of cooperatives and medical and legal services for union members. Gomez took over and changed the name of UOD into Union Obrero Democratica de Filipinas (UODF). On May 1, 1903, he led a mass rally of about 100,000 workers who marched from Plaza Moriones in Tondo to Malacañang in protest against the American regime's policy for suppression and calling for political independence, shouting "Down with U.S. Imperialism!" In 1913, the Philippine Legislature officially declared this date as Labor Day. As a consequence of the protest, Gomez was arrested for illegal association and sedition and was tried and sentenced to one year hard labor. Later, he considered himself vindicated with his election as a delegate to the first Philippine Assembly in 1907.
Together with Pedro A. Paterno and Pascual H. Poblete, they organized the Nacionalista Party in 1900 and again in 1901, driven by the group's intention to gain outright autonomy for the Philippines. In later years, he joined the Federo-Tercerista group, also known as the Democratic Progresistas, in the opposition to the powerful Nacionalistas.
Political involvement
In 1916, Gomez became president of the municipal board of Manila, to which he had earlier been elected a member. His first official act was to call the attention of his colleagues to their responsibilities to their constituents.
While the Philippines was still a colony of Spain, Gomez served as a volunteer in the Spanish army in the war in Cuba, and was decorated by Queen Maria Cristina for his bravery.

Aspen City Council decided to reduce its 2013 grants to health and human services providers by $90,000 in a work session on Tuesday, frustrating many of the nonprofits' representatives in attendance.
Members of the network, collectively known as the POD, received $390,000 from the city's general fund for 2012. For 2013, that will be dropped to $300,000 in an effort to phase out health and human services grants given from the city's general fund.
About a dozen POD members attended the work session lobbying council not to reduce the funding.
Michael Connolly, executive director at Valley Partnership, represented the group of nonprofits and said that the reduction in funds was a surprise to the nonprofits.
"From my own understanding as an executive director ... we didn't know there were any changes on the horizon or potential changes on the horizon until last month," he said.
Most of the organizations already have their 2013 budgets finalized based on the projection that the city would be giving $390,000 to the POD, he said.
"We don't have a lot of wiggle room in terms of budget," Connolly said.
Connolly suggested that if the city wants to lower funding, the cuts should not be done hastily and members of the POD should participate in those discussions. City and county grants also improve the chances that the nonprofits will receive outside funding from other organizations, because it proves that the groups have the support of local government, Connolly said.
City Manager Steve Barwick argued that council has warned the network that city funding is going to be reduced and eventually cut off altogether in budget discussions over the past four years.
In general, other municipalities don't make the same amount of contributions to the nonprofits, Barwick said. The city has spent more than $350,000 on health and human service grants each year since 2007. It is paying nine times as much per capita as the town of Snowmass Village, Barwick said. The city ultimately can't continue to contribute that much, he said.
"It's simply not sustainable for the city," Barwick said. "If we stay at this level we are looking at another round of layoffs and cutbacks [for the city]."
The current system is unreliable because there is a lot of volatility in the city's general fund, Barwick said. What is needed is a fair and consistent tax budget, he said. Barwick noted that the city also told Pitkin County commissioners on July 5 last year that council was going to cut back its funds to the health and human services providers.
Mayor Mick Ireland argued that the current funding mechanism is flawed, because it double taxes residents who live in the city and pay both city and county taxes.
The county pays for grants through the Healthy Community Fund, which was created by a county property tax that is dedicated to financing health and human services and nonprofits in the valley. The city doesn't have a tax dedicated for funding such programs and makes grants by taking money out of the municipal government's general fund.
City residents, who make up 38 percent of the county's population, pay about $137 per capita in taxes to fund health and human services, while county residents pay about $92, according to Ireland.
"We're paying more," Ireland said. "Whether we should pay more is worth discussing ... but it is disparate."
County Commissioner Rachel Richards, who was in attendance, said that it is not the responsibility of commissioners to communicate the city's budget cuts to the parties involved.
"We are not your conduit for saying that we are no longer interested in funding your project," Richards said.
Richards said that city officials should have sent a letter informing the POD that cuts were going to be made. Richards also warned council not to rely on a future voter-approved mill levy to replace the city's current funds. There have been talks by other groups including the Aspen School District and the ambulance district to create a mill levy, so the city will likely face competition in getting a mill levy approved, Richards said.
By cutting its funds, council is unfairly picking on the nonprofits, while similar double taxation occurs in the affordable housing system, Richards said.
"Why are we picking on health and human services nonprofits saying this is where the double taxation ends?" Richards said. "... I think the problem is devolving partnerships."
County Manager Jon Peacock, who also attended the work session, said that it is clear the nonprofits did not receive the message regarding the city's cutting back funds. The city and county should come together in another meeting to discuss a potential solution, Peacock said.
"Right now we're having pronouncements being made and we haven't really found the vehicle [for this] to be discussed at a policy level," Peacock said.
City Finance Director Don Taylor noted that collective donations between the city and county are still increasing this year from about $1.8 million in 2012 to $2.1 million in 2013. That's because the county has given more money than it gave in 2012 to the groups, he said.

Norwegian Star - Alaska: Norwegian Star Cruise Review by sepakcruiser
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Star - Alaska
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
My husband and I live in the Pacific NW so leaving from Seattle is very easy for us. It's a 2.5 hour drive but we still came up a day early to enjoy some of what Seattle has to offer. This was our second cruise on NCL (and overall) and we did the same itinerary last year. We enjoyed it so much that during our cruise last year, we booked again for this year. Alaska has so much to see and do that we didn't find ourselves getting bored at all.
The hotel was nice and because of my status with Marriott we were upgraded to a suite, but it was close to the road so it was kind of noisy. We had a great view of the water though. We had dinner at the Fish Club which is normally a good choice, but my dinner was terrible. Hubby liked his though.
We arrived at the terminal at about 12:30 and stood in line to hand over our bags. It was a bit confusing because we were told different things by different people and the process was not the More same as the year before. After about a 10 minute wait to hand over our bags we were on our way to check-in. Since we had an Owners Suite we went to that line which had no one in it. We immediately went to the counter, got our picture taken and met our Concierge, Carlos (more about him later). We were then taken through the line and escorted to our stateroom. The whole process took less than 20 minutes. We dropped off our carry-ons, admired the room, and went in search of lunch.
Stateroom: We were in 9506 (the Renoir Suite) and it was fantastic and HUGE. It had two rooms (living/dining and bedroom) which was separated by a sliding glass door. The bathroom was enormous with a walk-in closet, whirlpool tub, shower, and 2 sinks. We had two decks, one on the side and one at the front. We only used the front balcony while in port and during the glacier viewing as it was too windy other times. The side deck was fully covered and had a lounge chair and a table and 4 chairs for dining. The furniture in the living area was not all that comfortable but we also didn't sit around in the cabin that much either. It was definately worth the money though and we booked another AA cabin for our Mexico cruise.
This is of course very subjective, but I thought the food was excellent in all the restaurants that we went to.
The Market Cafe (buffet): It is what it is, a buffet. The food tasted fine but the menu didn't change very much from day to day. We only ate there for lunch and that was enough for me. Hubby loved that they had roasted chicken everyday and we both loved the mousse.
Cagneys: In a word WONDERFUL! Service was excellent and food prepared perfectly. We actually ended up going there twice during the trip. Definitely a treat!
Le Bistro: We both liked it but I think hubby liked Cagneys better. The food was prepared and presented well. I added a lobster tail to my dinner and it was slightly overcooked but still good. The chocolate fondue was fantastic and probably the highlight of the meal.
Endless Summer: We chose to dine here on the last night and we didn't have a high hopes based on our experience from the previous year. We didn't like the menu in the main dinning room and we didn't want a heavy steak dinner. We were pleasantly suprised though. It seemed that they had improved their menu and everything tasted really good.
Main Dining Room: We only ate dinner once in Versailles and it was good. We didn't like the hustle and bustle of it though and much preferred the more intimate environment of the speciality restaurants.
Juneau: Not our favorite port but we did get off the ship and walk around. We did very little shopping but did pick up a few items. We saw some of the sights but didn't do any tours/excursions. I'd heard the glacier tour was very popular and people really enjoyed it.
Skagway: This is probably our favorite city, but this year the weather was not very cooperative. Though we are used to the rain, it made the day a little less fun. We did quite a bit of shopping and some sightseeing but nothing through the ship. We are the type of people that enjoy doing our own thing. We picked up some really tasty smoked salmon at a little store off of Broadway. This is also where my two favorite jewelry stores are located...Silver Emporium and Broadway Jewelers. They both offer great service and really good deals. I'm not affiliated with either store, I just had really great experiences both years with each store.
Glacier Bay: Beautiful, wonderful, amazing. Should not be missed and the reason one should try to spring for a room with a balcony if at all possible.
Ketchikan: We weren't in port very long, but this is a fun shopping port. A ton of jewerly stores like the other ports but if you look around you'll also see some interesting local stores/galleries. We found one that had some very unique glass pieces and silver jewelry (both of which I love). We saw Creek Street and Dolly's House which is a fun little area of town
Victoria: We didn't get off the boat because we've been there before and there really isn't enough time to see much. I guess my one criticism of this itinerary is the arrival time into Victoria. It's so late that it's really difficult to see the city and appreciate it.
Entertainment: There is lots to do on the ship especially during sea days. We actually wore ourselve out the first day running from activity to activity but I guess that's a good thing. I wasn't as happy with the CD on this trip as last year though. The shows were great with the exception of the "Beyond Broadway" that they did in the Spinnaker. It was odd and not suited for the venue. Quite a few people agreed and left mid-show. The magician was great as was the comedian.
Service: This was the biggest change from last year and in a good way. Granted we were in an Owner's Suite so we had special attention from our Concierge and Butler, but all the crew members were encountered were friendly and very helpful. We had a few issues that came up and not at all something that NCL could be held responsible for and they were addressed quickly and completly. Communication was not nearly as difficult as last year as it seemed more of the crew spoke English very well.
Carlos was our concierge and he was wonderful. He checked in with us several times a day to make sure we were doing ok. It didn't matter what the request, he'd either handle it himself or find the person responsible for handling it. He made getting off the ship on port days very easy and hassle-free. He was the only concierge and we knew he was busy but it never showed. He always acted like we were the most important people to him.
Henry, our butler was also wonderful. We didn't use him as much as we thought we would but he was very attentive and quick to respond.
Misc: I was able to see 2 whales during the trip which was amazing. I recommend that if possible, get a balcony. Both my whale sightings were while I was on the balcony and were early in the morning... 6 - 7 am. We also saw various wildlife but depending on when you go, it may be easier or harder to spot any. We had binoculars so that helped quite a bit.
Disembarkation: A breeze! We were off the ship at 7:25 and in our car by 7:45. We did the express option so we carried our bags off the ship ourselves.
Overall: We had a wonderful time and we'll probably do Alaska again in a few years. We booked another cruise to Mexico for Jan '08 and I'm already looking forward to it. Freestyle is the only way to go for me and hubby.

Island search for missing sailors
Police have given up the search for the three missing men, but the family refuse to give up hope.
Photo: Michael Chambers
The families of three men who disappeared from a yacht off the north Queensland coast have refused to give up hope the sailors will be found alive, despite police preparing a report on their deaths for the coroner.
Relatives of skipper Des Batten, 56, and brothers Peter and James Tunstead, aged 69 and 63, all from Perth, will launch their own search for the missing men today.
Rescue authorities yesterday said there was no hope they would be found alive.
The trio are believed to have gone missing from their 9.8-metre catamaran, KAZ II, eight days ago.
The yacht was found unmanned and adrift on Wednesday about 160km off Townsville after leaving Shute Harbour at Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays on Sunday morning.
The men had intended to sail the catamaran back to Western Australia.
Police yesterday called off the search and rescue operations about a week after it is believed the men disappeared.
However, the families of the men today will charter boats to continue scouring the north Queensland coastline.
James Tunstead's son Shane Webber today said three charter boats would search around Airlie Beach and its surrounding islands, to where he believed the men may have been able to swim.
"That's our hope. That's where we're going to concentrate today,'' Mr Webber told ABC Radio.
"I was a little bit disappointed that the official search only lasted two and a bit, three days.''
"Maybe they've all got knocked over by the boom, or something happened at the back of the boat when they were fishing because we know they were fishing at the time by video footage we've seen from the Townsville police,'' he added.
Mr Webber asked local fishermen to keep an eye out for any sign of the sailors.
Peter Tunstead's wife Fran is hopeful today's search will prove successful.
"Please everyone, keep having positive thoughts for us,'' she told ABC Radio.
"Say your prayers for us, for them - for Jimmy, for Peter, for Des - because they need that.''
Townsville Detective Inspector Warren Webber said that despite extensive investigations, the case remained a mystery.
He said police would now prepare a report for the coroner.
"We can all come up with various ranges and hypotheses and theories as to what may have happened,'' he said.
"But at this stage our investigations concentrate on just determining exactly what facts we have. We will obviously draw some conclusions from that information and that information will ultimately be provided to the coroner.''
The findings of the police inquiry will be handed to Queensland's coroner to determine whether a full inquest into the men's death is warranted.
When the KAZ II was boarded, its engine was still running, a laptop computer was found switched on and navigational equipment and plotting gear laid out.
The men's clothes were found folded in neat piles on the rear deck, as if they had gone swimming.
The only sign of damage was a shredded sail.
One theory is the men fell overboard in rough seas.
Another is that another vessel came alongside and they boarded it, either willingly or unwillingly, as if they had been attacked by pirates.
But Townsville Chief Superintendent Roy Wall ruled out foul play.
"They were all known to each other for some time, all good friends,'' told the Nine Network this morning.
"There's certainly nothing that's come forward at this stage that would indicate anything other than a tragic accident.''
He also ruled out an apparent attack by pirates.
"I think that's stretching it a bit too far - we've had no information or reports of piracy off that part of the Queensland coast,'' he said.

Parenting is a challenge. So is earning a college degree. Doing both at the same time can be daunting, especially if you're also the sole breadwinner for the family.
The good news is that thousands of parents graduate from college every year, in a number of majors achieving their dream of a better, more secure life for themselves and their children. Not only do parents succeed in college, they bring some definite advantages to the college experience. Among other things, Parents tend to be more focused, determined and mature than other students as a result of their life experiences and added responsibilities.
While there's no question that parents can succeed in college, there's also no question that it requires an extra degree of planning and self-discipline, as well as a healthy sense of perspective. Here are 7 tips for parents on the path to a college degree.
1. Make a schedule. Time is your scarcest resource, so it's important to make the most of it. Just like its always a good idea to know where your money is going, it's important to know where your time is going too. If you're not intentional about scheduling regular time for study and the other important things in your life you'll quickly find yourself behind and overwhelmed. Consider doing a time audit. Take a few days to be intentional about tracking how you spend your time. You might be surprised by how much of it you spend on things that are little more than distractions from the important things in life. It's all about priorities.
2. Leverage your relationships. Don't try to do this alone. You're going to need all the emotional and material support you can get. Develop relationships with other parents in school that you can share your experiences with and find encouragement from. Many schools have support groups for parents. If yours doesn't, check out one of the online groups in the resource section below. Let your extended family and/or faith community know what you're doing and ask for their help with childcare, meals, transportation for the kids, etc. Finally, get to know your professors. Let them know about your situation. Many professors are willing to make special arrangements for parents, granting extra time to complete assignments, etc.
3. Eat well. Busy people are always tempted to skip meals and/or eat a lot of junk and fast foods. While these things are fine in moderation, a person's diet has an enormous affect on their immune system, energy level and mental alertness. It's generally better to spend the extra time it takes to prepare a healthy meal. The time you spend in class and studying will be much more productive, plus you will get sick less often and have the energy to concentrate longer. You'll be setting a good example for your kids as well.
4. Exercise. Like eating well, regular exercise increases alertness, energy, productivity and reduces anxiety. Make it short and simple. Take a walk. Ride a bike. 10-15 minutes a day, or even every other day, is enough to make a difference. And again, besides all the benefits just mentioned, you'll be setting a great example for your kids.
5. Get some sleep. Sleep is usually one of the first things to go for college students and parents. And yet, like eating healthy and exercising, the benefits of getting enough sleep usually far exceed the costs involved (like having less time to study). Among other things, sleep aids memory retention, problem solving and the ability to maintain perspective. If you're having a hard time concentrating, find yourself getting stressed out, or losing patience with your kid(s) more than usual, try taking a short nap or going to bed earlier. This will likely require sacrificing other activities, but it will pay off in the long run. Again, it's all about priorities.
6. Have realistic expectations for yourself. Most colleges and professors design their curriculum with the traditional, non-working, childless student in mind. Obviously these students have much more time to devote to their academic studies than the average working parent. The trick is not to hold yourself to these same unrealistic expectations. To do so is a quick path to burning out, and eventually, to dropping out. Given your situation, a B or a C is the equivalent of an A or an A+. True, this won't be reflected in your transcript, but unless you're planning to go to graduate school in the near future, your course grades don't matter all that much (and even then, they're not as important as you might think). Prospective employers are going to ask to see your degree, not your grades. So, work hard and learn what you need to, but if you can't get all the reading done because you were up all night with a sick kid, or you couldn't finish all the homework problems because you were just too tired after work, don't sweat it. Make sure your professor knows about your situation and cut yourself a break. Your professor just might do the same.
7. Keep your eyes on the prize. When things get tough (which they will), take time to reflect on what all this is for. Imagine yourself walking across that platform or receiving that degree in the mail. Imagine the job opportunities opened up for you with a college degree. Imagine the life you will be able to provide for you and your kids. Imagine the example you are setting for them. Perhaps most importantly, imagine what this will mean for your own sense of self. You will be a college graduate!

First Time on Celebrity - Loved the Equinox!: Celebrity Equinox Cruise Review by minimidget5
Overall Member Rating
First Time on Celebrity - Loved the Equinox!
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
-Embarkation -- We sailed out of Ft. Lauderdale and arrived around noon. There were lines but everything went quickly. Getting the glass of champagne once you step on the ship is a perfect welcome. We explored the different decks and grabbed some food before our room was ready around 1-130pm.
-The Ship -- The ship is beautiful! Always clean and well maintained. Even on the sea days, it never felt too crowded and if you looked around, you could find a More chair by the pool. The pool staff does a great job of removing left over towels so people can't reserve chairs for hours and hours. The solarium was perfect for relaxing and reading if you didn't want the loud, lively pool atmosphere or direct sun. We also really loved the lawn. It was never crowded and always a favorite place to walk around, play bocce or watch the sunset. Many reviews praise the Martini bar but we found it too crowded so we opted for the Ensemble Lounge or Cellar Masters. I have to note too that the public restrooms were spacious and always clean.
-The Room -- We had a veranda room on deck 7. The view was great, but we wished we could have been a little higher up. Balcony was a good size and felt private. The room was a nice size and the bathroom/shower was a bit more spacious than we were used to. Not a lot of drawer storage in the room so we really couldn't unpack and organize like we had in the past. We were near the back of the ship so we had to walk down a long hallway every time we went to/from our room. We would try to be more centralized next time. No towel animals - that made me a little bummed but it's probably not a Celebrity thing. Our room steward was fantastic. He was always around and making sure we were well taken care of.
-Entertainment -- We attended most shows and enjoyed them all. There was a good mix of talent for the specialty acts; a violinist, a pianist, a juggler/magician type, a comedian, a singer. The cirque style show at the end of the cruise was also very impressive. The Hot Glass Show was always crowded but it was very unique and interesting, definitely something to see. There was a special 'Science of Glass' show near the end of the cruise that was really neat. Being younger, we really enjoyed hopping around and listening to the daily acts on the ship -- A Cappella group North by Northwest, Candace and the After Hours Jazz Quartet, and singer/songwriter Owen Stevenson. All were incredibly talented and entertaining. They had a variety of music that would appeal to any crowd and they took requests. The ship does get pretty quiet at night so we tended to be among the last few walking around after midnight. If you are looking for late night dancing/drinking/etc., this is not your ship.
-Food -- I enjoyed all of the food on board, but I'm not the pickiest or snootiest eater. We did get a little bored with the choices in the Oceanview Buffet but we were always able to find things we liked. We also loved grabbing a burger from the Mast Bar. Apparently, they were looking for a new escargot supplier or something so there was no escargot on the cruise. That was one thing we missed. We ate one night in the specialty restaurant, Murano. The food was excellent(especially the Lobster) but surprisingly our service for this meal was the only disappointment of the cruise. I'm not sure if it was just fluky, but it took over 40 minutes for us to even put in our order and our water glasses went dry on a couple occasions. It just seemed odd given the upcharge and intimate style of the restaurant. Our Silhouette wait staff was really extraordinary so maybe we were just accustomed to a different pace. Nonetheless, when we did receive attention from the Murano staff, it was excellent. Having them cook table side is definitely a treat!
-Ports -- Our itinerary was great-- 2 sea days, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Barbados, Dominica, St. Maarten, 2 sea days. All of the ports were very nice. St. Thomas and St. Maarten were our favorite. We did 1 excursion and that was in Dominica -- River Tubing and Emerald Pool. We were glad that we did an excursion this day as we heard Dominica isn't known for it's beaches. Our tour guide, Crisca, was very informative and excited to tell us about the island. The water was low in the river but we still enjoyed the tubing portion(just be careful as it is easy to run into/over rocks). It does require some physical ability as there's hiking up/down steps to the Emerald Pool and there are some rapids in the river. There was an older gentleman who flipped out of his inner tube and bumped his helmet on a rock but escaped unharmed.(and yet he felt compelled to share that he also nearly lost his swimming shorts in the incident!) Overall, it was fun and was worth the convenience of being taken around the island. We also got tiny little cups of rum punch. The 'tiny' part was not an issue as the punch was delicious and quite potent! Every other port day we took taxis to different beaches. St. Thomas - Magen's Bay($8pp taxi each way, $4pp entry fee), St. Kitt's - Cockleshell($7pp taxi each way), Barbados - The Boat Yard(we walked there, $12pp entry fee includes drink, umbrella, chair and ride back to the ship), St. Maarten - Maho Beach aka Airport Beach($9pp each way). The best part of returning back to the ship each day was the Celebrity tent with water/fruit punch and cold towels upon arrival. They literally roll out the red carpet for their guests at every opportunity.
-Disembarkation -- certainly the saddest part of the trip but it was, as everything else, very easy and convenient. We left the ship about 930am, found our luggage and waited in line about 20 minutes to get through customs.
Overall, we found the perfect balance of entertainment and relaxation on board the Equinox. We couldn't have been surrounded by a better crew and group of fellow cruisers. Thanks for a wonderful vacation full of great memories. We will definitely be cruising with Celebrity again! Less

I used to love visiting Costa. Over the last few months I've noticed that the portion size of their cakes is shrinking. I bought a slice of carrot cake to go with my coffeee at Costa in Waterstones in Guildford last week and it was as hard as a biscuit. Took it back and got my money back.
