Just OK: Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Review by alldog49
Overall Member Rating
Just OK
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
I have to mention that I have had a hearing impairment for the past 5 years. I can hear but it is hard for to understand speech in a noisy environment. I wrote to customer service before my last few cruises and before this one to see if they had any suggestions help me enjoy more of the activities on board. I also mentioned the lack of closed captioning on the tv and was told that it's just not happening. I was told to contact the Access department when I got on board to see if they could help me. I tried that the last two cruises with no help and, again, there was no help on this one. So I was not able to understand talks that were broadcast after the fact such as shore More excursions or even a safety drill and I was not able to participate or enjoy much of what was happening on the ship.
What we did find is that the quality of food and entertainment, which we did enjoy previously, has really suffered. The food in the main dining room, first seating, was excellent the first few days. After that the food was either OK or tasteless. Every night I ordered a caesar salad. Half the time it was very good and served on a salad plate. The other times it was served in a bowl and was soggy and tasteless. Fish was dry and overcooked. Our last night, everyone at our table for 10 was looking forward to bananas foster that was on the dessert menu. Unfortunately our waiter came back to inform us that they were out of bananas. Not a good ending.
We ate at each specialty restaurant and the food was good. However, at Murano, we had to track down our server a few times just to get more water.
The buffet had some pretty good dishes and we never had a problem finding a table. The Aqua Spa Cafe, however, always had the same things for lunch. They also wanted to charge $5 for some yogurt and granola. Luckily the soft serve from the machine was till free.
The brunch event was a disaster. We had been to every brunch on our other Celebrity cruises and looked forward to this one. We arrived to eat at 12:15 and were told they were full but we could go to deck 4 as long as we didn't mind carrying plates up the stairs. I left. My husband just walked in to look around and said the room was so full he could not move without bumping into someone. Somehow the brunch on Equinox, the sister ship to Eclipse, never had this problem.
The entertainment was hit or miss. The first night's show lacked energy. There were three shows that my husband attended where he said most people walked out. Why would you have a 7th place America's Idol singer as an act in the ballroom? People walked out of the act starring one of the Finkel brothers. The Christmas Eve show starred both of them. People either didn't attend or didn't stay too long.
There were a good number of kids on board, not overwhelming, and the majority were very well behaved, Of course, there were the few that were jumping and screaming in the pool and their parents were oblivious to the noise. The whirlpools though were usually occupied by one adult and 4 kids.
This was a 14 night cruise and the time did go by quickly. We were able to dock at all the ports so we could really come and go as we pleased. We did enjoy ourselves but not like our other cruises. This one was just OK. Less

President Obama In NYC For DNC Fundraisers
President Obama has a busy Monday planned. The president made headlines Monday morning after he called the Benghazi probe a "sideshow" while holding a press conference alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron in Washington. Monday evening the president will be in New York City attending three fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee.
According to Gothamist, President Obama landed at JFK Airport shortly after 3pm Monday afternoon. His first fundraising event is scheduled for 4:30pm and the last event will take place at 8:40pm at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. President Obama won't be leaving New York City until around 10pm Monday night.
Needless to say, traffic is going to be hectic Monday evening. Every time the president pays NYC a visit, traffic comes to a halt. You may want to leave yourself extra time getting home Monday night.

About MeMy name is Kiri Josefina. I was born in Maastricht, the Netherlands to an artist/photographer father and a high-fashion model mother. I, myself, am a highly creative person, interested in all types of artistic media, primarily working in 2-D format as a painter (I received a BFA from the University of Florida in 2009). I am also interested in the photographic medium whether it be working behind the camera or in front of it. Through this site I am looking to work with creative individuals/companies that are seeking a model with an eclectic style, a multidimensional look and personality, and, most importantly, an awareness of how to move in front of a camera and how to follow direction. I am open to avant garde and experimental concepts as long as they are tasteful and executed professionally. Please contact me through my profile if you are interested in working with me. Thank you for visiting my page.

  <TITLE>Re: [torqueusers] Non-cummulative pbsnodes -o command</TITLE>   Hello Brock

 Well, that's not the behaviour that I'm getting on torque 2.0.0p7 and torque 2.2.1. With both of them, the sequence of commands that you've cited would result in only node nyx101 being offline and all other nodes being marked online regardless of what there previous states.

 Regards,
 John

 This is probably a fairly basic beef about Torque but it has been bugging the hell out of me. ĀĀ

 When using the command "pbsnode –o –N 'message' node1 node2 ..." to drain nodes, we have to list all the nodes that we want to stay drained in that single command ie.: even if a node was previously drained for another reason, issuing a "pbsnode –o" command without specifying the previously drained nodes results in those nodes being marked online instead of offline. ĀĀ

 This is truly ridiculous, it's like playing a game of bonk the gopher. ĀĀIt is conceivable to have more nodes that you would want drained then can be specified on a single line and there should be no reason for us to have to independently track what nodes should be offline.
 ĀĀ
 As near as I can tell, most people avoid this with creative workarounds such as shutting down the pbs_mom daemon on the nodes to be offline or by creating very specific reservations. ĀĀI'd imagine that there may be more such creative workarounds spurring more diversity in operational practices.

 So the question is, how do you work around this ridiculous behaviour at your site and is there any valid technical reason for pbsnodes to work in this fashion?

 John

The Chicago Defender has been a leading voice of the black community well beyond the Windy City, with more than two-thirds of its readership outside Chicago. The newspaper was a proponent of The Great Migration, the move of over 1.5 million African-Americans from the segregated South to the industrial North from 1915 to 1925. It reported on the Red Summer race riots of 1919, and editorialized for anti-lynching legislation and the integration of blacks into the U.S. military. This newspaper also supported the aviation career of Bessie Coleman, the first African-American female pilot, and promoted the writing of Langston Hughes and Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Brooks.

HOROSCOPE for Wednesday, 1/16/13 by Christopher Renstrom
Published 10:01 pm, Tuesday, January 15, 2013
ARIES. (March 20 - April 18): You will often rush in where angels fear to tread, but check to see if the people in need aren't suffering from a hell of their own making first.
TAURUS. (April 19 - May 19): A squabble breaks out among the usual snarky suspects. The cease-fire was nice while it lasted.
GEMINI. (May 20 - June 19): You're tying yourself in knots trying to make a situation work and are close to cutting off circulation all together. Call a time out. You need to unwind.
CANCER. (June 20 - July 21): Keep brilliant ideas to yourself because a colleague is looking for the next big thing. S/he won't think twice about poaching on your intellectual property.
LEO. (July 22 - Aug. 21): You were a good sport about making changes, but will you be as agreeable when asked to change them back? Consider it an exercise in patience.
VIRGO. (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21): You need to override fight or flight instincts because they're pushing all your panic buttons. Take a deep breath because things aren't as bad as all that.
LIBRA. (Sept. 22 - Oct. 21): Something that started out as a no-brainer turns into a headache. But wait a few days before deciding anything. The Cosmos may be giving you an out.
SCORPIO. (Oct. 22 - Nov. 20): It's tempting to blow off a troubled sibling or friend who shows no sign of improving, but you're better than that. This person needs you and you need to be needed.
SAGITTARIUS. (Nov. 21 - Dec. 20): You were hoping to put an assignment on the backburner, but it's not meant to be. A certain gadfly will continue to vex you until s/he sees results.
CAPRICORN. (Dec. 21 - Jan. 18): A situation is out of your hands and should be left alone. Inquiries made now would do more harm than good.
AQUARIUS. (Jan. 19 - Feb. 17): A problem isn't as daunting as all that. The solution lies in breaking it down into manageable parts. Compartmentalize; don't globalize.
PISCES. (Feb. 18 - March 19): The hunt is often more exciting than the prize. Still, it's nice to win sometimes.

Outrage of the Day: 9th Circuit Harms U.S. SecurityWriting in the Washington Examiner, National Center for Public Policy Research board member Horace Cooper has harsh words for a recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision on "extraordinary rendition."
Horace writes:
A recent ruling by a three judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals allowing the ACLU's lawsuit against "extraordinary rendition" to go forward was reckless and lawless. Tragically, the price for aiding the ACLU may well be the loss of American lives.Read it all here.
This case (Mohamed, et al., v. Jeppesen Dataplan, et al) started in 2007 when the ACLU and five non-citizens filed suit claiming that the five men were unlawfully captured and tortured as part of a "clandestine" CIA program for interrogating suspected terrorists.
...This case demonstrates the limits of courts when it comes to assessing policy matters, particularly those associated with national security. Judges have no particular skills in evaluating either the benefits or the consequences of their rulings on national security and as lifetime appointees they are well insulated from the consequences of their rulings.
...When this case came before U.S. District Judge James Ware, he dismissed this case once its implications for national security became clear. The Justice Department had invoked the "state secrets" doctrine and former CIA Director Michael V. Hayden's warned that if this case were to go forward it could cause "exceptionally grave" danger to U.S. national security.
It is well settled that when the "subject matter of a lawsuit is a matter of state secret," the suit must be dismissed without regard to the question of evidence. And as the Supreme Court has recognized for over a 100 years, any lawsuit predicated on "alleged espionage agreements" also require a per se or automatic dismissal. This case involved both elements. But in overturning Judge Ware, the Ninth Circuit decision flies head long against these precedents.
...This decision was particularly distressing as it disregarded the assertion of the "State Secrets" privilege by both the Bush and Obama Justice Departments.
Furthermore, this decision is sharply at odds with the national-security reality that Americans face: We are in a worldwide war with terrorists who seek to destroy our country and our way of life. They have attacked us at sea and on land, at home and abroad. And recent disclosures by the Obama Administration about a thwarted attack on Los Angeles a few years ago reveal that our enemies haven't stopped their efforts to harm us.
Make no mistake the precedent of allowing these alleged victims of the United States government's "extraordinary rendition" program to misuse the Federal Court system even though the CIA is not a party to the lawsuit is lawless as well as dangerous.
Publicly exposing vital secrets will aid terrorists and others who threaten our nation's security. Unfortunately, this ruling, by denying the seriousness of the threat, will only make the effort to save American lives more difficult.

Biographical Notes
Nathanael Greene
Nathanael Greene's great-great-grandfather, John Greene, was a surgeon in Salisbury, England, in the seventeenth century. In about 1632, he migrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony to escape religious persecution in England. Greene was a follower of John Wintrop, a Puritan preacher, who soon fell out of favor in Massachusetts. In 1636 Williams, accompanied by Greene, established a new colony which he called Providence. In Providence, Greene associated himself with Samuel Gorton. Gorton and Williams had a falling out and Gorton, accompanied by Greene, left Providence to found a new town which he called Warwick. In subsequent years the area became known as Rhode Island and the Greene family converted to Quakerism. Nathanael Greene Senior was a prosperous farmer, iron smith, and merchant living in Potowomut, near East Greenwich, Rhode Island, when Nathanael Greene Junior was born on August 7, 1742. Young Nathanael's father was a devout Quaker, but was unable to convince his son to adhere to the strict rules imposed by the religion. Although formal education was discouraged, Nathanael learned to read and write. As a young man he read extensively and became acquainted with a number of well educated men living in Newport.
In 1763 England began enforcing the Sugar Tax on molasses imports into the American colonies. This tax adversely impacted Rhode Island's very important rum trade and this in turn depressed the general economy of the colony. In 1764 the Sugar Tax was renewed and the British Parliament announced that there would be more taxes to help pay for the governance of the colonies. In 1765, Parliament passed the Stamp Act which was designed to help pay for British troops stationed in the colonies. Heretofore all British taxes on the colonies had been designed to regulate trade. This was a new type of tax and many within the colonies felt that they should be consulted before such a tax was levied. Resistance was such that the Stamp Act was repealed in 1766, but the Townshend Acts quickly followed. This legislation provided for taxes on glass, lead, imported paper, and tea. In about 1769 Nathanael moved out of his father's house and built his own house (Spell Hall) near Coventry, Rhode Island, where the family business had opened a new iron foundry. Nathanael's father died in 1770. In 1772 a merchant ship owned by Nathanael Greene and Company was seized by a British warship and its cargo confiscated. The master of the merchant ship, a cousin of Nathanael, was roughed up in the process. The family initiated legal proceedings to recover their cargo and obtain compensation for damages. A short time later the British warship (HMS Gaspee) was destroyed by a group of Rhode Islanders. That same year the family forge in Coventry burned down. At about the same time as the Coventry disaster, Nathanael was accused of having been one of the leaders in the destruction of the British warship.
In 1773 Nathanael was suspended from Quaker meetings for breaking their rules. Some say that it was because he had been seen in a tavern and others that it was because he had participated in some sort of militia exercise. In 1773 the British Parliament reorganized the East India Company in such a way as to damage colonial merchants dealing in the tea trade. On December 17, 1773, colonial activists boarded British merchant ships in Boston harbor and dumped their cargo of tea over the side. In March 1774 Britain ordered the port of Boston closed and sent General Thomas Gage to become the military governor of Massachusetts. Parliament also passed a series of new laws that became known as the Intolerable Acts. These new laws reduced the colony's powers of self-government and correspondingly increased the powers of the military governor. Nathanael, next door in Rhode Island, was incensed by British actions and was beginning to make revolutionary statements. On July 20, 1774, Nathanael married Catherine Littlefield and they set up housekeeping in Coventry. Nathanael joined a militia unit being formed in East Greenwich as a private. In October 1774 the Rhode Island Assembly incorporated the unit into the state militia for Kent County. He hoped to be elected as an officer, but was not. Several of his friends explained that he was considered to be something of an embarrassment because he limped. On April 19, 1775, Greene learned that the British troops had fired on colonists at Lexington and Concord. The next day Greene's unit left for Massachusetts. The British troops retired into Boston and Greene returned home.
The Rhode Island Assembly deposed the colonial governor and voted to establish an Army of Observation composed of fifteen hundred men. Nathanael's older brother, Jacob, was a member of the Assembly's Committee of Safety. On May 8, 1775, the Assembly appointed Nathanael Greene general and gave him command of the army. On May 23 Greene reported to the Massachusetts commander, Artemas Ward, and offered to serve under him. Other New England colonies also sent militia units to help Massachusetts and the city of Boston was effectively besieged. The Rhode Islanders under Greene's command distinguished themselves during the siege and Greene was credited with having a well disciplined command. Greene was in Coventry when the British attacked Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill and his troops did not participate in the action. On June 14, the Continental Congress created the Continental Army and absorbed all of the militia units surrounding Boston into it. George Washington was appointed lieutenant general and named commander-in-chief. Nathanael Greene was appointed brigadier general. Washington took command outside Boston on July 4, 1775. Greene was soon given command of a brigade composed of three Rhode Island regiments and four Massachusetts regiments. Greene reported to Major General Charles Lee. By October 1775 Greene was talking openly about the possibility of independence. At the end of the year many soldiers refused to reenlist and Greene's brigade was reduced to just over seven hundred men. Washington reorganized his army and during the first months of the year enlistments picked up and the siege continued. On March 17, 1776, General William Howe and the British Army evacuated Boston. Greene was promoted to major general and on March 20, Washington named him military commander of Boston.
On April 1, 1776, on Washington's orders, Greene led a brigade of five regiments out of Boston and headed for New York in an effort to beat General Howe who was thought to be about to land there. Howe went on to Halifax, Nova Scotia to refit and Greene arrived in New York on April 17. Greene was named commander of American forces on Long Island. On May 4, the Rhode Island Assembly renounced their allegiance to King George. Greene applauded the vote and regarded it to be a call for independence. On June 29, the British attack on New York got underway with the arrival of the Royal Fleet and the advance guard of Howe's thirty-two thousand man invasion force. On August 15 Greene became ill with what was then called "putrid fever" (probably typhoid fever). Greene was evacuated and Israel Putnam was selected to replace him in command of the defense of Long Island. On August 29, the British pushed the American defenders off of Long Island. On September 15, the British pushed them out of New York City. Greene, now fully recovered from his fever, saw his first combat while fighting a rear guard action (Harlem Heights) connected with the withdrawal from New York. Even though it was a small action, he performed well as a combat leader. Greene was next assigned to take over the defense of New Jersey. In November Greene reinforced Fort Washington on the Hudson River when many others including Washington thought that it should be abandoned. When the British captured the fort and took its garrison prisoner Greene was severely criticized, but Washington stood by him. After the fall of Fort Washington, nearby Fort Lee was overrun and Washington was forced to retreat west in an effort to protect Philadelphia. On December 8, 1776, the Continental Army crossed the Delaware River into Pennsylvania.

Looking for information on Harriet Goldsmith (1803-1879). She was from New York, but moved to Ohio with her husband Abraham Reynolds (1802-1877). Can't find much information on her, but a census search turned up an Usher Goldsmith, born in New York around 1805, living in the same town as Harriet and Abraham, in Ohio. Usher is living with (presumably) son John, John's wife Sarah, and their children. Any information on possible ties?

Value for the money
By Jerry
from Charlotte NC
For a first time installer it took a little time to snap the planks in place. Making sure we pushed the planks together firmly is the real trick to getting them to snap in place. You must lift the flooring to the proper angle to get it to snap. Installation kit is not needed although the salesman recommended it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good quality at a great price
By PA friend
from Etters PA
I put this flooring down in my kitchen and dining room. It was fairly easy to install and it looks great.
The product was delivered in a reasonable time and it arrived in good condition. Some boxes I bought out of the warehouse had pieces we couldn't use because the ends were splintered.

Nice Floor
By K&M
from Niederwald, Texas
I bought this product to do a living room and dining room. Although not quite finished, I am happy with the results. The floor itself took over 3 weeks to finally arrive in the store, but they contacted me when it arrived. The trims and baseboards took even longer than that. I think we only found one damaged piece, and we very well might have damaged it ourselves.This flooring goes up quick once you figure it out. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT!!! The directions are absolutely horrible and virtually non-existent. I thought that I was locking the boards in right, then realized after 300 square feet installed, it wasn't right. Took it all back up again and reinstalled. At least all the cuts were already done the 2nd time and it went quick. Advice: use the tapping block in the kit on EVERY board. Look up a you tube video for drop and lock laminate installation. This will be a big help. Again, you should not have to do this!So, on the whole, we are quite pleased with the quality of the flooring. It's quite thick also. It was nice to not have to buy padding too.
Not a good product
By Tom C Homeowner, DIY
from Boston, MA
280 sq ft in family room, cheap cardboard locking system does not stand up, have vacuum handy to suck up all the broken cardboard pieces. Took mine apart 3 times, different places, during install to fix, popped out seams, used 6 mil poly over old tile and concrete. Hopefully I got the bottom dollar price, and it was super cheap,you get what you pay for, cannot believe they can call that white paper on the back a pad??
Great Look - Terrible Locking System
By Home Improvement Homeowner
from Stratford, CT
I have installed many laminate floors but this is the worst locking system I have seen. If there is any variation in the level of your floor the boards will not lock and pop up at the slightest pressure. It looks great once it is installed and seems to be durable, but it is a nightmare to lock together. You get what you pay for in locking system, but you get more than you pay for in the overall look once the floor is installed.

Good Looking and Solid Flooring
By JPT
from Bridgewater, MA
It looks fantastic. You can barely see the seams. Very easy to cut to fit corners. Make sure you check for accuracy when you are installing. Installation takes a little practice, but not difficult once you get the hang of it. Just dont go more than 3 or 4 rows before you get the hang of it, otherwise you will have to go too far back to fix mistakes. But once you get the hang of it, you wont make mistakes. Plan on having two people, although it can be done with one person. Only tools needed were to make the custom pieces to fit around appliances, and for that, all i needed was a jigsaw, pencil, square, and a ruler.

Hello, I'm an eBook!
ATTENTION: This item is an eBook. It can be read on iOS, Android, MAC and PC's with a supported eReader. It is not a physical book. eBooks are available via download immediately after you've checked out.
"In the bestselling tradition of "The Pact" and "The Freedom Writers Diary"--the inspiring story of one woman's extraordinary promise and steely determination to make a difference in the world."One morning in 1987 Oral Lee Brown walked into a corner store in East Oakland, California, to buy snacks for work. A little girl asked her for a quarter, and Brown assumed that she wanted to buy candy, but surprisingly she bought bread and bologna--staples for her family. Later that day Brown couldn't get the little girl out of her mind. Why wasn't she in school? Why was she out begging for money to buy food for her family? After several weeks of not being able to sleep, Brown went to look for the girl at the local elementary school and soon found herself in a first-grade classroom. She didn't find the little girl, but before she left she found herself promising the kids that if they finished high school, she would pay for their college education. At the time, Oral Lee Brown made only $45,000 a year. But years later, after annually saving and investing $10,000 of her own money and establishing the Oral Lee Brown Foundation, this remarkable woman made good on her promise: after nineteen of the original twenty-three students graduated from high school, she sent them all to college. And in May of 2003, LaTosha Hunter was the first of Brown's "babies," as well as the first person in her family, to graduate from college. This marvelous and inspiring book is the amazing story of one woman's unendingdesire to make a difference. And if once was not enough, in 2001 Brown made the same promise to three new classrooms of first-, fifth-, and ninth-graders. Brown and her foundation are now committed to adopting a new crop of kids to send to college every four years. Brown's pledge to the students was not without great personal and public sacrifice. Her promise turned her life upside-down--it strained her relationships, and at times required her to work several different jobs. Brown also developed a strong emotional attachment to the children--for many of these students Brown was the one consistent adult in their lives. In a world short on heroes, altruism, and dedication, THE PROMISE shows that it is still possible to change lives for the better. This book will encourage, uplift, and inspire every reader.

TOP STORY > > Ward knife maker sharpens his skill
Leader staff writer
Tough times can lead to ingenuity. When Robert Spradlin was a teenager, he needed a knife for hunting and fishing, so he became a self-taught bladesmith.
Spradlin, a 30-year-old Beebe native whos a diesel mechanic in Ward, was 10 years old when his father passed away. The family could not afford their house payments and had to move into a smaller rental house in town.
We were living on my dads Social Security, and we didnt have much, he said.
Ive always liked hunting, guns and knives. Its always been a passion. I could not afford a good knife and I had to make my own, Spradlin said.
Spradlin began making knives when he was 14. His father was a carpenter and left an old bench grinder, tools and hand drills. With those pieces of equipment and a coal-burning stove, Spradlin turned old files, leaf springs and saw blades into knives.
After a long break, he returned to forging knives five years ago. He makes knives in his spare time at his shop on Pigeon Road.
He has completed the American Bladesmith Societys introduction class to bladesmithing.
One knife can take him between two and 60 hours to make, depending on complexity and design. Each knife is a unique.
Spradlin shapes the blades, cuts the handles and stitches leather sheaths. He makes close to 100 knives a year.
I look at it as art. It is functional. I never make the same knife twice. I am a perfectionist, Spradlin said.
Spradlin also makes spears, tomahawks and hatchets.
He has made miniature knives that are an inch long. His largest piece is a 22-inch short sword.
When Spradlin makes a knife, he uses new steel to forge a blade.
He can also make knives by recycling old files, wheel-bearing races and thick, steel cable.
Used steel has metal alloys that give the knifes edge sharpness and durability.
Spradlin can also craft a Da-mascus pattern into a knife using two different metal alloys of steel. During the forging process, the metal is heated and folded several times. The layering gives the blade a grainy swirl pattern. Grinding and polishing the blade enhances the design.
I dont use anything from China in my blades. I use U.S. or Canadian metals. I try to keep my material price down to keep the price of the knife down, he said.
When Spradlin begins to forge a blade, the metal is heated to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit in a gas-fired furnace. The hot glowing steel turns into a soft plastic-like texture that is easy to form.
Spradlin hammers and reheats the steel to move the metal until he gets the blade to the shape and style he wants.
During the forging process, hell normalize the blade three times. In normalizing, the steel is heated, then removed from the heat and slowly cooled in a box of lime. This removes the stress of the metal from heating and working of the blade.
Later, Spradlin does a rough grind of the blade. Next, he gives the knife a heat treatment. The metal is heated in a small kiln and then dipped into oil. This gives the knife hardness and durability.
Spradlin does a final grind and hand finishes the blade. He then makes a hand guard and handle fitting, leading to the assembling and finishing of the whole knife.
Spradlin prefers to use mostly local, natural-made resources for his knife handles. The handles can be crafted from deer or elk antlers, sheeps horns and animal bones.
He also uses natural woods from Arkansas, such as a spalted maple, or exotic woods such as eucalyptus from Australia.
His knives are often sold at knife shows. He said the Farm Bureau has purchased knives from him and auctioned them off for charity.
Most of my knives are sold by word-of-mouth, he said.
People have asked Spradlin to recreate antique bowie knives and knives from the movies, such as The Legends of the Fall and Crocodile Dundee.
To keep the interest of bladesmithing alive, Spradlin teaches knife making at his shop on Thursday nights at 7 p.m.
The classes are free.
Students need to bring their own supplies, or Spradlin will sell them the materials. Class sizes range from two to 12 people.
Arkansas is a good place to learn knife making. Most of the famous knife makers come from Arkansas. They are real friendly and would love to help you, Spradlin said.
To learn more about his knife-making classes or to view a selection of his custom-made knives, call 501-281-0573 or visit his Web site at www.spradlinknives.com.

With a big lead, Cal State Stanislaus head coach Larry Reynolds was able to use his bench depth in Wednesday night's men's basketball home opener at Fitzpatrick Arena. The result was a huge 105-57 win over UC Merced.
Despite a career high of 18 kills by Jennifer Marsh, the Cal State Stanislaus volleyball team fell to Cal State Dominguez Hills in four sets, 26-28, 25-22, 25-15, 25-14.
The 2012 football season has been a good one for the Fresno State Bulldogs. With one game remaining in the regular season, Fresno finds itself atop the standings in the Mountain West Conference. In only their first season in the MW, the Bulldogs (8-3 Overall, 6-1 MW) are in position to claim the conference title and extend their 2012 campaign into the post season.
The Cal State Stanislaus volleyball team made the final push to hold off the Pioneers in five sets Saturday night.
Two second half goals by the Clan ended the Cal State Stanislaus men's soccer's magical season of 2012 as Simon Fraser edged the Warriors, 2-1, Saturday night in the second round of the NCAA Championship tournament.
Less than 24 hours after posting the program's first conference championship, the Cal State Stanislaus men's soccer team learned that it will be heading to the NCAA Championships for the first time.
For the first time since 2003, the Cal State Stanislaus women's cross country team is heading to the NCAA Championships meet collectively. The Warriors exceeded expectations and their regional ranking as they finished fourth at the NCAA West Regional Championships.
The Cal State Stanislaus women's soccer team dropped a heartbreaker in the final seconds of the conference match against Cal Poly Pomona on Sunday.
The Cal State Stanislaus men's soccer team accomplished a feat for the first time since 2006 with Sunday's 2-1 win over Cal Poly Pomona at Warrior Stadium.
Stanislaus women's tennis player Davina Meza had a busy and fruitful day at the Dominican Fall Invitational as the sophomore captured the top singles title on Saturday.
Life is a long road and it's hard to predict where it will take you. Pitman High alumnus Grant Silva has spent the last six years learning this lesson, traveling several different paths and pursuing several different plans since graduating in 2006.
California State University, Stanislaus' volleyball team had a tough weekend, dropping both Friday's match against San Francisco State and Saturday's match against Sonoma State in straight sets. After opening the CCAA season with a straight set victory against Humboldt State, the Warriors (4-8 overall, 1-3 CCAA) have lost their last three matches without a single set win.
California State University, Stanislaus' men's soccer team entered their match against Sonoma State with fresh legs on Sunday, a benefit afforded to them by Humboldt State's disciplinary season cancellation that gave the Warriors Friday off. As it turned out the rest wasn't much of an advantage, as the two CCAA teams battled it out at Rohnert Park and were forced to settle for a tie, 1-1.
The women's soccer team of California State University, Stanislaus is currently riding a five game winning streak after a successful weekend against both Humboldt and Sonoma State.
Similar to last week's third match of a tournament, the Cal State Stanislaus volleyball team proved resilient in coming from behind to win a five-set thriller. This time the victim was Dominican on Saturday.

|Home > Entertainment > Comedy Festival > Article
Melbourne Town Hall until April 20
What a show. Wow. British comic Dave Gorman has created something really special with Googlewhack Adventure, a voyage of obsession that makes his last show Are You Dave Gorman? pale by comparison, and raises sincere concerns about whether he pushes himself too far for his craft.
But it is the excessive nature of Gorman's experience - coupled with drum-tight story telling - that takes Googlewhack Adventure and elevates it beyond stand-up comedy and into the realms of performance art. A magnificent folly, Googlewhack Adventure is the story of a man caught up in a web of the universe's spinning.
Gorman innocently follows up an email that tells him he is a Googlewhack (an Internet game where you try and find two words which, when entered into Google, come back with only one hit).
He then finds himself swept away by fate, coincidence and massive bouts of angst as he follows a trail of Googlewhackers around the world and against the clock.
Googlewhack Adventure is exactly that - a rollicking, funny, sometimes disturbing, high-stakes personal journey with slides and the pace of a thriller.
Gorman need not limit himself to comedy festivals with this brilliant, complex show: he could take it anywhere.

Elsewhere within the Arctic, activity has been heating up as well. In February, the Interior Department gave tentative approval to Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A, RDS.B) to begin drilling in Alaska's Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The potential here is equally as huge, as the USGS predicts that the Arctic Ocean's outer continental shelf holds reserves of nearly 27 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Playing the Arctic Rush
A variety of nations, including the United States, Russia, Canada, Norway and Greenland, all have Arctic ambitions in mind, and drilling activity certainly will surge during the next few years as oil prices stay elevated. Nonetheless, investors have been slow to realize the region's potential. For portfolios, the Arctic poses a unique high-risk/high-reward proposition. And two of the best ways to play the surge in icy water drilling come from Scandinavia.
Viking energy powerhouse Statoil (NYSE:STO) already has a huge Arctic presence that's getting bigger. The company continues to find mammoth-sized reserves in Norway's Barents Sea. Last April, Statoil announced a 250 million-barrel discovery called Skrugard in Northern Norwegian waters. Most recently, it announced its Havis prospect may hold up to 300 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent. These major finds coupled will the firm's continued earnings prospects make it a great way to play the future of Arctic drilling.
The more interesting route for investors could be in rig owner/operator SeaDrill (NYSE:SDRL). The company's rig fleet is basically a proxy for deep harsh-water drilling and has been seeing increased demand and day rates in recent years. Run by the Warren Buffett of Shipping, John Fredriksen, SeaDrill also maintains a 75% stake in Norwegian rig operator North Atlantic Drilling (PINK:NATDF). North Atlantic focuses exclusively on drilling in the North Sea/Norwegian Continental Shelf and will be a direct beneficiary of Statoil's mega-finds, and analysts at Barron's predict a 50% upside over the coming year for NATDF. Overall, the pair offers pure-play exposure to the rigs directly needed to tap into icy deep waters.
As energy demand and prices continue to rise, unconventional sources will see their fortunes rise as well. For investors willing to take the gamble, the Arctic offers great reward and the Scandinavian trio offer a great way to play that gamble.
As of this writing, Aaron Levitt did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Canadian Truckers To Get More Boat Tail Options
HAYWARD, CA — Canadian truckers might soon see more boat tails and other rear-drag aerodynamic technologies on the Canadian market as ATDynamics, a supplier of semi-trailer aerodynamics technology is expanding its sales efforts in Canada.
The company has hired Allen Smith as director of Canadian sales to lead the expansion effort in Canada.
In December of 2013, Transport Canada changed the Standard 223 of the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations to allow full length boat tail devices to operate within Canada.
Provincial authorities are currently reviewing the federal regulatory changes to include in their own regulations regarding local weights and dimensions in order to allow fleets to operate full length boat tail devices within the provinces.
"Leading Canadian fleets are implementing trial units in anticipation of the expedited adoption of the federal amendment by the provinces. Our American neighbors are enjoying a five percent MPG advantage over Canadian operators. TrailerTails can correct that," Smith said.
Smith brings 26 years of operational and sales experience in the Canadian trucking industry having worked at Teleflex Power Systems, Carrier Transicold and Westport Innovations companies before joining ATDynamics.
Currently, ATDynamics is working closely with Canadian trucking fleets and the local trucking associations in each province to permit full length boat tail devices, such as the Company's TrailerTail rear-drag aerodynamics technology.
"TrailerTail technology is a patented aerodynamic fairing that is installed at the back of heavy-duty tractor-trailers to improve their fuel efficiency by reducing the rear suction drag that occurs at the back of the trailers when traveling at highway speeds," the company claims.
Canadian authorities have been testing this technology since 2007, when FP Innovations did an EnergoTest and found that the technology reduced a truck's fuel consumption by over five percent at highway speed.
Transport Canada and the National Research Council Canada also did wind tunnel testing.
"TransWest has operated ATDynamics' TrailerTails in its fleet since 2011," said Guy Roy, risk management director at Logistiques TransWest Inc.
"Currently we are only able to deploy the devices once our trailers cross the Canadian border into the U.S., but TrailerTails have helped us to reduce our fuel consumption by over five percent and are a key component of our efforts to reduce the carbon intensity in our operations," Roy said. "We are anxious to begin operating our TrailerTails within Canada to maximize the environmental and fuel savings benefits of the technology."
ATDynamics will display the TrailerTail product line at the Truck World trade show at the International Centre in Toronto from April 10 – 12, 2014 at booth number 5204 in hall number five.

A deliciously dark bubblegum-gothic fairytale from a stunning new Australian talent.
'He's gone the same way as those little birds that bothered me with their awful songs! And you will too, you and your horrible heart-music, because you won't stay out of my woods!'
There's a dead girl in a birdcage in the woods. That's not unusual.
Isola Wilde sees a lot of things other people don't. But when the girl appears at Isola's window, her every word a threat, Isola needs help.
Her real-life friends - Grape, James and new boy Edgar - make her forget for a while. And her brother-princes - the mermaids, faeries and magical creatures seemingly lifted from the pages of the French fairytales Isola idolises - will protect her with all the fierce love they possess.
It may not be enough. Isola needs to uncover the truth behind the dead girl's demise and appease her enraged spirit, before the ghost steals Isola's last breath.

Comments about Fairytales for Wilde Girls:
This is one of the best young adult novels I've read in a very long time, it's such a unique book and what I loved most about it was that it had an intriguing plot as well as beautiful writing.
I sometimes mark my favourite passages when I'm reading a book, but with this book I found that putting the sticky notes in was getting to be a problem because I kept highlighting too many sentences! haha
It's one of those books which is so mulit-layered, the author has drawn on so much myth, fairy tale (the dark and gory versions which I love) and literary references, that I feel its a book I'd like to read again to find the literary references I missed the first time.
Some readers might wonder whether it's all going to make sense in the end, the first half of the book feels like reading a book with multiple separate threads, however they all came together nicely and everything fell into place perfectly in the end - plus about half a dozen plot twists! I felt a bit smug because I guessed one of the twists towards the end, but then the book hit me five times in the face with a bunch of other twists in the story I didn't see coming.
If this is Allyse Near's debut novel, then she's definitely an author to watch! She writes beautifully dark, weird twisted magical realism and I'll be interested to see what she writes next!

The Cubs top two high school hurlers selected last year take the next step in their pro careers as right-handers Paul Blackburn and Duane Underwood leave the heat of Arizona for the Northwest League and short-season Boise. Outfielder Shawon Dunston and first baseman Trevor Gretzky, you may have heard of their dads, have also been named to opening day roster.The Hawks open the season on Friday, June 14, with three games at Eugene and hold their home opener June 17 against Salem-Kaizer.
Right-hander James Pugliese, 20, will get the opening night starting nod against Eugene as the 2011 18th-round draft pick made 11 starts for the Hawks last season (1-5 5.37 ERA). After seeing the rest of Boise's starting rotation advance to Kane County, Pugliese stayed behind at extended spring training working on a new delivery.
Blackburn was the 56th pick in the last year's draft as the right-hander from Heritage High School in Brentwood, California, tossed 20 innings in the Arizona Rookie League after signing. The 19-year-old will get the start on Saturday night in Eugene.
The 18-year-old Underwood (2nd Round) has a live arm and was clocked in the upper 90s as a high school pitcher in Georgia. He threw in five games at Mesa with seven strikeouts and six walks in 8.2 IP.
One right-hander to keep an eye on is Cuban Carlos Martinez, 22, who signed a $250,000 bonus in December of 2011 and was named an Arizona League all-star last year for Mesa fanning 44 in 43.1 IP with a 3.53 ERA.
The Boise staff also includes five other 2012 draft picks, including Trey Lang, a sixth-round pick out of Gateway CC in Arizona. Lang pitched in seven games after signing last summer with 16 strikeouts in 13.2 innings with two walks. Other members of the 2012 draft class are RHP Corbin Hoffner (14th Round), RHP Michael Hamann (16th Round), RHP Jasvir Rakkar (26th Round), RHP Tyler Bremer (27th Round). There are links on each player page to stories on all the 2012 pitchers drafted.
Other arms in Boise are 20-year-old RH Ethan Elias, a 2011 draft pick and a member of the Canadian Junior National team; LH Matt Iannazzo, a free agent signed in 2012 from the University of Pittsburgh who pitched in four games at Kane County this year; RH Loiger Padron, a 22-year-old Venezuelan who spent four years in the DSL before throwing in 12 games last season in Mesa; and RH Orbandy Rodriguez, a 6-foot-6, 24-year-old who hasn't pitched since 2009.
Boise fans will get a first-hand look at slick fielding 19-year-old shortstop Carlos Penalver. The six-foot Venezuelan hit .273/.341/.322 in 49 games in the Arizona Rookie League last year. Penalver signed a $550,00 bonus on July 2, 2010, and spent 2011 in the Dominican Summer League (.272/.364/.341) in 72 games. He's swiped 28 bags in 40 attempts as a pro.
Trevor Gretzky, the son of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, plays his first pro games outside of Arizona after being selected in the 7th round in 2011. Gretzky hit (304/.372/.330) in 35 games in Mesa last season and plays first base and the outfield. Middle infielder David Bote (8th Round-2012) will be on his third team of the season playing four games for Daytona to start the year and then logging 17 more games at Kane County (.143/.308/.214). Daniel Lockhart, 20, (10th Round-2011) is the son of Cubs area scout Keith Lockhart and spent the last two years in the Rookie League. Also on the infield is 3B Jacob Rogers (40th Round-2012), who played at Mesa and Peoria last year (.326/.462/.507). The left-hander hit four homers in 42 games.
For the second straight season, OF Shawon Dunston begins the year at Boise after struggling last year in 19 games (.185/.254/.323) but responded to the promotion back to Mesa (.286/.357/.410) in 161 at-bats with 4 SB. His dad, Shawon Sr., played shortstop for the Cubs for 12 seasons.
OF/1B Jose Dore, 21, acquired from the Padres in March for PTBN/cash, has played 50 games in MWL (.222/.287/.345) and missed most of 2012 with an injury. He was an 8th round pick in 2010 by San Diego. OF Yasiel Balaguert, a 20-year-old Cuban, began 2012 at Peoria (.208/.232/.262) in 39 games and then played 32 games in Mesa hitting .235 with two homers. The final outfielder is Kevin Encarnacion, a 21-year-old switch hitter in his first season stateside after three years in the DSL.
Three catchers will be sharing playing time including 20-year-old Justin Marra, a left-handed bat who was a member of the Canadian Junior National team. He hit .322/.457/.467 in 29 games at Mesa last year. Lance Rymel, 23, a 28th round pick in 2012 from Rogers State, returns to Boise for a second stint, playing 25 games last year .188/.246/.344 with two homers in 64 at-bats. Rony Rodriguez, 23, a 2013 free agent signing from the University of Miami, is the third catcher on the roster.
Gary Van Tol makes his pro managerial debut after spending the past five seasons as the Cubs short-season bench coach. David Rosario returns for his third year as pitching coach and former MLB all-star Bill Buckner begins his second year as the Hawks hitting coach. The Boise Hawks have a new logo and this year's squad will sport new uniforms for the 2013 season.
The NorthSiders Report will include Boise in its daily minor league updates including player transactions, who's hot and not, and other stats and trends for the Cubs' short-season affiliate.

EDITORIALS>>Some taxes should go up
Economic development nearly always carries some costs, but good government will always ameliorate them by stern regulation and sometimes taxation. Old-timers in south Arkansas remember the years of the oil boom, when a few got rich, others got better-paying jobs and the land and streams took a beating. Creeks and branches turned to saltwater and sludge and valleys took on the ghostly appearance of bombed-out Dresden: long stretches of whitened dead tree trunks and blackened earth that supported only the scrappiest vegetation. The state eventually passed pollution laws and established regulation over discharges, and over many decades a little verdure returned to the valleys in Union, Columbia and Lafayette counties and a little life found its way back into the streams. The legislature passed modest severance taxes on oil that paid for some of the reclamation. Now the oil bonanza is mostly gone.
Lots of personal riches will follow the shale development although the companies that drill and then pipe the gas to Midwestern industries and homes will take most of the profits out of the state as well. Gov. Beebe is hearing the complaints now as well as the euphoria, and he told a radio audience that the exploration companies ought to be paying their share to cover road and environmental damage. But they wont. Stepped-up enforcement of highway weight limits, which Beebe promised, wont do the job either. The state Department of Environmental Quality is drafting rules to govern the drilling and cleanup. Presumably, the regulations will include fines for violations. If they follow the Arkansas pattern, they will not be harsh enough to make a lot of difference. The companies tried and almost succeeded this year in passing legislation to limit what property owners who were abandoned by their government could recover by suing heedless developers.
Gov. Beebe, reflecting what we fear is his leadership style, said he sure wished that the state had a real severance tax on natural gas but that he was unwilling to ask the legislature to pass one. It would take a three-fourths vote in each house and that is impossible to achieve, he said. He recalled that Gov. Bill Clinton proposed a modest tax in 1983 and that he, as a state senator, had voted for it but that the House of Representatives defeated it. He implied that Clinton was a more potent leader than he and that at Clintons pinnacle he could not get a necessary reform done. Beebe suggested that someone draft an initiated act and get it on the ballot. He would support it. Well, somebody should, but what about Mike Beebe? We recall two such instances: Bill Clinton pushing a public initiative for ethics reform after the legislature defeated it and Mike Huckabee organizing an initiative drive for a big health-care program after the lawmakers defeated it. That was leadership.
The severance tax has a moral imperative. Its not just a way to raise money for public works and reclamation of lands. Those who profit from the removal of a finite public asset that can never be replenished owe something back to the public trust. It is certainly not three-tenths of one penny for a thousand cubic feet, the absurd current law.

|Wildcat Notes
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Nov. 5, 2005 - PARIS - Despite the sour loss on Friday, the Wildcats will go into the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season, and will play Terrell for the second straight year.
The Wildcats beat Terrell last year in bi-district, 38-34. It was the first playoff victory since 1998, when Sulphur Springs also beat Terrell. Last year, the teams met because SSHS was the No. 2 seed in 12-4A, and Terrell was No. 3 in 11-4A. This year, those seedings are reversed.
The Tigers have lost just one game this season - to No. 1 Highland Park, 59-16. Terrell and Sulphur Springs have three common opponents - Greenville, Forney and Mesquite Poteet. The Tigers are 3-0, while SSHS is 2-1.
THE COUNT GOES ON - Chris Person had his third game of more than 200 yards this season and his seventh game over 100 yards on Friday with a 232-yard rushing effort. That puts him at 1,590 yards on 199 carries and 14 TDs for the year. That is the fourth-best season in school history. He is also second now in career rushing with 2,741 yards, surpassing James Henley's 2,607 mark. ... Spenser Daniel hit 38 straight extra points this season and 86 in his career (both are school records) before the final regular season PAT went wide left. ... Wide receiver Josh Riley broke another school record. He now has 84 receptions, which is 12 more than Kendall Wright's record. His yardage total of 893 is third-best and his eight touchdowns are in second.
ODDS AND ENDS - Riley also had the Cats' longest punt return of the season, 21 yards, in the first quarter. ... After having just four turnovers in their first three district games, the Wildcats have had nine in the last two. ... North Lamar quarterback John Faulkner completed just 3-of-11 passes, but all three came in the Panthers' final 31-second drive. ... Paris, which was still in the playoff hunt, was blasted by Greenville, which was winless in district play, 29-10. Texas High, already assured of a playoff rematch with Highland Park, led Mount Pleasant just 14-0 at halftime, but ended up winning, 42-0.

To date, no model has been able to satisfactorily represent the evolution and final profile of the beaches of well-graded sand, nor have experiments addressed the non-idealized case of sediment sorting across a beach composes of well graded sand. Therefore, no reliable and proven method exists to predict the dry width of a beach with multiple grain sizes. The equilibrium beach profile equation developed by Robert G. Dean is widely used but should be treated like an idealized beach representing a kind of "average" beach. Its limitation to beaches with a unique grain size has been demonstrated several times. New forms of the equation regarding varying sediment sizes have been tested with differing results. Due to the lack of studies about the subject, theses attempts considered arbitrary variations of the grain sizes with offshore distance. To address the deficiency in information related to well-graded sediments, an experimental program has been carried out. This thesis describes the set of experiments performed in the laboratory using a wave tank in which a well-graded sand beach was simulated. Data collected and analyzed included sand samples, beach profiles, and wave characteristics. The sand samples were taken from different locations at different intervals within the 24 hours duration of each experiment. With these results and use of the Dally wave transformation model, an analysis of the dissipation of energy per unit water volume across the beach is presented. The dissipation of energy per unit volume was the original concept associated with the equilibrium beach profile in which a single value is associated with each diameter. However, results obtained herein support a relationship of the dissipation with the particle Reynold Number. A new approach to the problem based on this result is also presented.
