First time Eastern Carribean cruise on the Solstice: Celebrity Solstice Cruise Review by Kellix
Overall Member Rating
First time Eastern Carribean cruise on the Solstice
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We drove down from Atlanta GA. 12 hour drive which later, we kind of wished we flew. My sister got a deal thru Priceline for the Hyatt Regency right across the bridge from the Port Everglades for 75$. We woke up and we saw all the ships in the morning.
The check in process went very smoothly, Celebrity was great, because my mother has a hurt ankle and they helped her in with a wheelchair and we boarded the ship by 1:30 probably a half hour total to get on the ship.
The Champagne and mimosas was nice touch on entry, we really didn't have a chance to enjoy it because we had carryon luggage. We went straight to our room on 1027 and the room was very nice. The balcony view was great. We had a concierge cabin and it was on the front portion of the ship. We were able to make it work, they had room for luggage space, but during the More voyage it was sometimes cramped for 3 people. For 2 it would have been perfect. I'm a 6 ft. 2 235 pound guy and when changing for dinner it was small. Why I would want to get a mini-suite if that type of party went again.
As far as our steward Anil, he was great on the trip, very attentive for the whole trip.
My mother and sister enjoyed the view and had some drinks. I went to the pool bar to get my drink package. I would recommend the drink packages wholeheartedly to anybody. If you don't drink a lot there's not much of a point, but it covers everything, Coffees, Beer. Mix drinks and all. It's a great deal and glad other cruise lines are going to start to offer it.
The weather leaving FLL was rainy and stormy, wet more than anything. The boat was a little rocky that night which caused me and my mother to get a little seasick. The next morning I asked a bartender, was the boat a little rocky? He looked at me like I was an idiot, you're on a boat. I felt foolish. I have been on the Grand Princess and the Carnival Glory and it was less. Till I talked to a woman and sales clerk in the Solstice store who told if yes it was a little bumpy but that was probably going to be the worst of it.
As far as the ship, the ship was very pretty and the 3 pools were nice. I liked the touch of the grass but I thought they could have done a better job of it, because they had a big middle area they could have used for Bocce ball or putting and put lawn chairs on the sides. The reason being, the Solstice you had to wake up in the morning and go stake out a chair on deck or by the pool, if you did not, you would be hunting for one the rest of the day, which I did not like. I have been on other ships the Grand Princess and you NEVER had to look for a deck chair. On the solstice it was very much so grab it and hold on tight. Which by design I thought they could have done a better job with as far as ship design. Now on the lower decks around the pools they had chairs you could lie in and read but not get any sun.
As far as my other dislikes about it, the other things, which I thought they could have done a better job. After 1200 AM there's nothing to do, except Gamble or drink. I thought they could have had at least a midnight movie, some other alternative for people that don't want to drink and or gamble. Also that the pool closed at 9:30, which I have been on other cruise lines and they kept it open till a lot later. Also the jogging track was INSANE, I have been on other ships and the joggers were out of the way, on the Solstice, joggers are dodging people that are sunbathing and it seemed like an afterthought, it was bad for both the joggers and the sunbathers. They need to redesign the Solstice class add in another level and straighten the sunbathing and jogging areas out. I had read there was supposed to be first run movies; they had the Karate Kid and Facebook movie and the Prince of Persia. These are not first run movies. I was disappointed by this, at least change your literature to reflect on this.
The shows they had on the Solstice that were good, particularly Karen Grainger was fantastic and the closing show, the Cruise director sang and she was unbelievable.
As far as the restaurants, we ate mainly in the Ocean View cafe and the Epernay MDR. I read where another review where the person wrote, I was not expecting Ruth Chris quality but I was expecting better then Bob Evans or Ruby Tuesday quality. I knew he was talking about the Ocean View cafe, There were things there that were too die for, like, their Omelets and Waffles and Eggs Benedict, but other things like the bacon and scrambled eggs were something to be desired. But overall it was good.
The Grand Epernay was always good, only 3 things we had there were not. My mother had the escargot and it was not good. I had the Shrimp cocktail and you could still tell the shrimp were frozen and the sand veins were in them. EEK
:( Also on the last formal night we had the Lobster and it was overly well done. But there were other things like the Cod cakes; mashed potato soup and Veal Cordon Bleu were to die for. It was better to order from the right side of the menu then gets the stuff you could get any night. Especially the Chef specialties. I talked to many people on the ship and heard differing things of the other restaurants why we never went. My mother tried the Bistro on 5 and said it was great.
As far as stops, Puerto Rico was great we took a tour thru old and new San Juan, the only thing I didn't like about it; it's kind of like coming home. It's Americanized. When we docked there was a CVS pharmacy right where we docked.
St. Thomas was very beautiful and all the Jewelry Shopping you could stand.
My favorite was St. Martin, it was the most that reminded you of the Caribbean, we stayed mainly on the Dutch side, the stores a lot of jewelry ones, but they had pretty much anything you wanted to do. My mother and I had some health problems which made where all we could really do was shop and walk around. I would have loved to have gone diving, but I couldn't get up for it.
As far as Disembarkation it went very smoothly they had us meet in the theatre, then we were told to go, we had one bad moment, because my mother has a cane and the deck officer did not want to have a crew member help her in a wheel chair, but they ended up doing it. Going thru customs was about 30 minutes and I thought it went really quick.
All in all I thought it was a great cruise and Celebrity did their best to take care of it. I had read about the Norovirus outbreaks on the ship, but they were constantly cleaning everywhere we were. Also they had crew members giving out hand sanitizer everywhere. They were doing their best to keep it under control, as far as us, we only had a couple of times and it was mainly from seasickness. My real complaints were with the design of the ship which might me take a different carrier and no nighttime activities besides drinking and gambling. As far as going on the Solstice or Celebrity again. I would if they had a cruise, I wanted to go on would be the reason if I took them again. Less

Engineer Ralf Klinnet, who is based at Stirling University, developed the "Funky Cones" to tempt kids away from the TV and computer.
His idea was funded by the Scottish Executive and has won the support of teachers at St Ninians Primary School.
They say the cones are a learning tool as well as a physical exercise tool.
Teacher Lyndsey McNair told BBC Scotland: "It has helped developmentally for the children - especially the children in the nursery who are learning their colours.
"They have been using the cones as a learning tool by having to hit the correct colours.
"Children further up the school have to remember colour sequences so it is an additional learning tool as well as being a physical exercise tool."
The cones look like traffic cones from the outside but inside they are full of electronics which make them flash and buzz.
Children have to follow a sequence and then run between the cones to replicate it.
Mr Klinnet's invention has won the support of Scottish Institute of Sport, based in Stirling, and the Scottish Football Association also believe the flashing cones could be used in training for football teams.
He is now looking at other major investors through Stirling University's Sporting Chance initiative which aims to develop the technology behind sport.
Mr Klinnet said: "We actually have a lot of interest from different markets from the sports market to the football market."
"We have also had interest from the healthcare market for people who have had a stroke, for example, and will need retraining in hand to eye coordination."

NPR: Catholics Receiving Holy Communion Are Like Dogs Taking a Pill In Peanut Butter?
For Catholics, Holy Thursday is a very special day, for it celebrates the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper of Jesus. But for National Public Radio, that's just fodder for very timely mockery. On Thursday night's All Things Considered, NPR aired a smug book review by author Cara Hoffman titled online "A Rollicking Critique of 'Absolute' Religious Fervor." Hoffman was promoting a 1922 science-fiction novel that NPR proclaimed was "visionary" in its insights (especially in reference to Bush's America being "hoodwinked into war for nine years over a source of fuel"):
It lifts the veil on the dystopic slapstick of politics and religion, and, through wit and surrealist speculation, delivers the reader to understanding like administering a pill to a dog in a spoonful of peanut butter -- or, should I say, the Eucharist to the supplicant in the form of a waxy white wafer.
Hoffman dwelled over the words "waxy...white...wafer." This insult might sound insensitive on any day, but the decision to air this comment on this evening seems transparently intentional. A Catholic NPR listener surely could have heard this on the drive to church. Hoffman was commenting on a 90-year-old book, but it had to air on this night, or in this week?
Hoffman might claim she is speaking about herself and other religion-bashing NPR leftists, that they were fed knowledge like dogs taking a pill. But I cannot imagine Hoffman writing (or NPR editors accepting) a book review in which Muslims in their sacred rituals are placed right next to dogs in a metaphor. Would they imagine that could be interpreted lightly? It surely sounds like NPR ombudsman Alicia Shepard could hear from listeners 202-513-3245 or at email@example.com.
NPR anchor Robert Siegel introduced the book review this way: "Every once in a while, a book comes along that is so ahead of its time, so visionary, that it seems almost to predict the future. And if that book just happens to be hilarious, well, so much the better. Author Cara Hoffman knows of such a book, written nearly a century ago, and she recommends it for our series You Must Read This."
On her Twitter page, Hoffman previewed the commentary with the tweet: "Check out my essay for NPR's You Must Read This:... religious fundamentalism can be pretty hilarious..."
The novel Hoffman was pushing is called The Absolute at Large, by Czech writer Karel Capek, who apparently was a left-wing "pragmatist" of the William James variety who'd "graduated" from the simple Catholicism of his mother, who used to pray for him as a child and his diseased lungs:
So it is with the full weight of my geek cred that I tell you: You must read Karel Capek's "The Absolute at Large." A piece of genre work so hilariously sophisticated, revelatory and stealthy, it delivers one of the highest subtextual critiques of modern society while achieving the lowest of lowbrow accomplishments, among them making the reader spit her drink, split her sides and suffer a full three minutes of post-hilarity hiccups.
In "The Absolute at Large," the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance as the world is overtaken by fundamentalist religious fervor caused by an invention called the Karburator that produces free energy and releases God or the Absolute as a by-product, something initially mistaken by the novel's protagonist as a poison gas because of the way it affects people's behavior.
Once God is unlocked from all of the places it resides, a multiplicity of religions spring up -- the church of industrial machinery and the church of the merry-go-round compete for worshippers while the businessman who invented the Karburator hides in the mountains away from the deleterious side effects of new energy, one of which is giving money to the poor.
I also love this novel because of the scenes that take place in harried newsrooms, with baffled reporters struggling to turn out papers amidst an outbreak of madness that threatens to engulf their objectivity. Capek's dialogue is fantastic, his characters richly drawn. But his vision of a world transcendently captivated by an apparent higher calling and then hoodwinked into war for nine years over a source of fuel is so prescient, it makes the novel seem like it was written today.
Naturally, Hoffman favorably compared the author to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. NPR's excerpt didn't quite capture the horror Capek had for God "taking over" people in his vision, as in the Karburator's inventor:
I suffered through some horrifying phenomena. I read people's thoughts, light emanated from me, I had to struggle desperately not to sink into prayer and begin preaching about faith and God. I wanted to clog the Karburator with sand, but suddenly I began to levitate...There have been several serious cases of workers in the factory seeing the light. I don't know where to turn, Bondy. Yes, I've tried all isolating materials that might possibly prevent the Absolute from getting out of the cellar: ashes, sand, metal walls, but nothing can stop it. I've even tried lining the cellar walls with the works of Professors Krejci, Spencer, and Haeckle, all the Positivists you can think of; if you can believe it, the Absolute penetrates even things like that.
More and more, people became possessed by religious fervor. "At the Petrin telegraph station, religion broke out like an epidemic. For no earthly reason, all the telegraph operators on duty were sending out ecstatic messages to the whole world, a sort of new gospel saying that God is coming back down to earth to redeem it . . .[The Minister of Defense] uddenly saw the light at his villa in Dejvice. The following morning, he assembled the Prague garrison, spoke to them about eternal peace, and exhorted the troops to become martyrs..."
This is where NPR finds the "visionary."
PS: Not surprising: Hoffman dearly loves the late AIDS activist and bugs-on-the-cross-of-Jesus artist David Wojnarowicz. The historic figure with whom she most identifies? Anarchist and feminist Emma Goldman.

hash slicing( categories: hash )
Slice is the process of obtaining multiple values of a hash in a single operation (the same definition applies for an array, btw). The result of this operation is a list of values.
The syntax for hash slicing is very similar to the syntax used to obtain a single element, the difference is that you replace the '$' sigil with '@' and specify a list of keys instead of specifying a single one:
my %hash = ( alpha => 1, beta => 2, gamma => 3, delta => 4 );
#-- get a single element
print $hash{beta}; # prints 2
#== get multiple elements (slice)
print @hash{qw(alpha delta)} # prints 14
Slicing hash references
invert a hash( categories: hash )
Use reverse to invert a hash.
%inverted = reverse %hash;
- If the original hash has duplicated values (more than one key is mapped to the same value) then the reversed hash will have fewer elements, because the duplicated value will only map to only one of the keys.
- This operation can be very expensive in terms of processing time and memory usage if the hash to be inverted is very large.
sort a hash( categories: hash )
The idea is to sort the list of keys of the hash and iterate through the sorted list using a 'foreach' statement.
-- order by key alphabetically
foreach my $key ( sort keys %hash )
print "key: " . $key . " value: " . $hash{$key} . "\n";
-- order by key numerically
foreach my $key ( sort { $a <=> $b } keys %hash )
print "key: " . $key . " value: " . $hash{$key} . "\n";
-- order by value alphabetically
iterate through a hash( categories: hash )
There are 2 methods:
- Using 'keys' in a 'foreach' loop
foreach my $key ( keys %hash )
print "key: $key, value: $hash{$key}\n";
This method has the advantage that it's possible to sort the output by key.
The disadvantage is that it creates a temporary list to hold the keys, in case your hash is very large you end up using lots of memory resources.
- Using 'each' in a 'while' loop
while ( ($key, $value) = each %hash )
print "key: $key, value: $hash{$key}\n";
This method's advantage is that it uses very little memory (every time 'each' is called it only returns a pair of (key, value) element).
check if a key exists in a hash( categories: hash )
Use the function exists
print "Key $key exists\n" if ( exists($hash{$key}) );
get the keys of a hash( categories: hash )
@list = keys %hash;
The code above stores all the keys of hash
get the values of a hash( categories: hash )
@list = values %hash;
The code above stores all the values of hash '%hash' in the list '@list'
remove a hash element( categories: hash )
delete $hash{"key"};
empty a hash( categories: hash )
%hash = ();

Gemma Tattersall has a great day at soggy Blair CastleLeave a Comment
Gemma Tattersall admitted that she was "chuffed to bits" after delivering a cross-country masterclass in appalling weather conditions at Blair Castle.
The Sussex-based rider lies seventh with Arctic Soul heading into Sunday's showjumping finale at the Longines FEI European Eventing Championships.
But whatever happens now, Tattersall can always say that she was one of just three riders from 64 starters to jump clear inside the time at a European showpiece event on her major championship debut.
Asked if her round, which was performed amid torrential rain, had provided the thrill of a lifetime, she said: "Just a little bit!
"I am chuffed to bits. He gave me an awesome ride. What a horse!
"He was so careful out there, and given tough conditions, he is even better. There were some tricky questions out there, but he is an absolute machine."
Tattersall could climb further up the leaderboard, maybe into medal contention, if she jumps a showjumping clear on Sunday.
"He is a very careful horse," she added. "The atmosphere can get to him, but if I can keep that under control, he has every chance of jumping clear."
Tattersall is among three British non-team members occupying top 10 places, with Izzy Taylor and KBIS Briarlands Matilda in third and Laura Collett and Grand Manoeuvre holding ninth spot.

(October 1996)
I received this and am wondering if anyone else has seen it and implemented it. Christopher Adams ****************************************************************** WARNING TO ALL MAJORDOMO ADMINISTRATORS: The patch below is required to prevent infinite loops of bounced messages from nonstandard mailers. I've been hit by another infinite loop of bounced messages problem in a majordomo email list. The problem is due to subscribers that have defective email gateways, and bounce messages to the wrong address. I'm sending this fix here since, unfortunately, government users have a disproportionate share of proprietary email (and X.400) systems that do not work properly. (Most Internet Providers, universities, and high-tech compaines use Unix systems with a "standard" mailer. Governments historically use mainframes and proprietary software, and fear Unix as if it were a communist plot. (Public domain software, after all!)) If you subscribe to an email list, you probably (or will sometime) have been flooded with a loop of messages. If you have majordomo at your site, you should apply these changes or you too will be hit by this problem. Please pass along this message to the majordomo maintainers. You may wish so save this and forward it to the list admins on other majordomo elists you subscribe to which are hit by this bug. You can also help by finding and eliminating defective email systems. I don't know how to get government Information Resources Management policies changed, but at least people need to complain about such defects. The typical retoric that "X.400 will solve email incompatibility" is flat wrong, and needs to be reversed. Governments need systems that conform to the vast majority of other internetworked email systems, not a proprietary system with a big name or one based on a hypothetical or MIL-only standard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is that a mailer does not properly follow the "Errors-To:" header and bounces messages to the elist. Moreover, the Subject: header does not conform to the "usual" mailer error message (Unix sendmail is the "standard" behavior used by nearly all Internet email systems), thus majordomo can't catch this bug. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main problem is that mailers ignore (or lose) the "Errors-To:" header. This problem should be reported as a serious bug, and corporate and government CIO's should ban such mailers in thier organization. (CIO's should also ban mailers that lose the From: address, but since big names like Lotus/ccmail do this, it's probably a lost cause.) To determine if a mailer has this problem, send email to a bogus user in the domain, e.g. bogus@????????, and set the Errors-To: to some other email address. (This may need to be done from outside a proprietary email system to test a gateway.) If the message does not bounce to the Errors-To address, this system could cause an infinite loop if the subject line in the bounce message doesn't match a "usual" email system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a patch to majordomo-1.93.tar.Z which will filter many of the bounced messages that cause infinite loops, including some vacation programs: (use "patch" or manually edit) diff -c resend.orig resend *** resend.orig Fri Sep 8 17:03:56 1995 --- resend Thu Oct 17 11:04:16 1996 *************** *** 206,218 **** && (/^subject:\s*subscribe\b/i || /^subject:\s*unsubscribe\b/i || /^subject:\s*help\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*RCPT:\b/ || ! /^subject:\s*Delivery Confirmation\b/ || ! /^subject:\s*NON-DELIVERY of:/ || ! /^subject:\s*Undeliverable Message\b/ || ! /^subject:\s*Receipt Confirmation\b/ || ! /^subject:\s*Failed mail\b/ || ! /^subject:\s.*\bchange\b.*\baddress\b/ || /^subject:\s*request\b.*\baddition\b/i)) { &bounce("Admin request"); } --- 206,232 ---- && (/^subject:\s*subscribe\b/i || /^subject:\s*unsubscribe\b/i || /^subject:\s*help\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*RCPT:\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Delivery Confirmation\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*NON-DELIVERY of:/i || ! /^subject:\s*Undeliverable Message\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Receipt Confirmation\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Failed mail\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Mail failure\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Message not deliverable\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Delivery of Certified mail\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Service Message\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Delivery problems with your mail\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Delivery(-| )Report\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*AUTO-REPLY\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Waiting Mail\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*REJECTED:/i || ! /^subject:\s*Invalid destination\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Non-Receipt Notification\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*Returned mail\b/i || ! /^subject:\s*unable to deliver mail\b/i || ! /^subject:\s.*\baway from my mail\b/i || ! /^subject:\s.*\bchange\b.*\baddress\b/i || /^subject:\s*request\b.*\baddition\b/i)) { &bounce("Admin request"); } %% End %% I sent a similar fix last year.

Sewing Machines - Before you Buy, Look Here
View Single Post
Honey Usagi-chi
Posts: n/a
I say for people on a budget, go to a pawn shop/thrift store and get a machine. Then go to Hancock's fabrics (or JoAnns) and get them to do maintenance on the machine (Oil, replacements, etc.) You could try ebay too,
I'd recommend a brand but I haven't much experience with alot of them. But I do fancy Kenmore, I'm inheriting one from the late 80s/early 90s. If you're buying a Kenmore, buy one from Sears and make sure the parts are metal. The Kenmore I'm occasionally using has gone through lots of dresses, corsets, costumes, etc. It can definitely step up to the challenge.
And if you're a rabid sewing child, I'm not sure about locations but Hancock's Fabrics had a program for some kind of monthly maintenance on your machine for cheap. Other than that, oil out your parts, replace your needle monthly (unless it's 8 heavy projects in one month, probably replace the needle after each project) and make sure the machine you're getting AT LEAST has a proper straight stitch and a zig zag stitch.
Yup, that's my 2 pence. Sorry if it wasn't the straight up reply you're looking for with exact details, but just thought I'd say something. Oh, and read ALL of those threads that the main poster posted. Those are a Godsend >:3

Ah, sarcasm. Probably the best reality check ever invented. However, this would have been better if it told us how we could actually STOP this kind of thing. As for working as a reality check and informational video, spot on.

By Rhonda Abrams, Special for USA TODAY
Your customers are the individuals or businesses that purchase your goods or services. If you don't know who your customers are, you won't know how to tell them about your product or service or how to get it to them. You could waste money placing ads in the wrong magazines or putting up signs in inappropriate parts of town. Or you could misjudge the price your customers are willing to pay. Know thy customers should be one of your business mantras from Day One.
Are They Out There?
First and foremost, you need to figure out if potential customers actually exist. Companies have been built—and have failed—on the false premise that customers for a given product or service are in fact out there. There are a number of ways you can attempt to determine whether your customer base is real. You can start with basic market research, and perhaps progress through customer surveys, sampling, testing, or interviewing potential customers in focus groups. These activities will tell you what actual members of your target customer base think about what you're planning to offer. Or you can start testing in small markets to see the response to your offering. McDonald's does this all the time: offering new specialty sandwiches at a number of selected restaurants to gauge market reaction.
Notice the word attempt in the preceding paragraph. It's important to understand that you may not be able to judge whether you have customers based on traditional methods of market research. This is especially true if you're offering a truly innovative product or service. The more innovative it is, the longer it will take for customers to become familiar with it, grow comfortable with it, and begin to buy it. It's much easier to market high-end ballpoint pens to stationery stores at a good price than to convince people to purchase a new device that allows them to input text into a computer without typing.
And there's the fact that customers don't always know what they want until they try it. Once, if you'd tried to sell bottled water to the mass market, they'd have laughed all the way to the kitchen tap. And almost certainly if asked whether they would pay $70-plus a month to have a mobile phone, the vast majority of Americans would have answered with a resounding no. Even savvy businesspeople make mistakes of this kind. Every market test 3M conducted of Post-its predicted failure. The newer something is, the longer it takes to catch on.
START-UP HOW TO: Step 1: Think like an entrepreneur
Primary vs. Secondary Customers
Your primary customers are the ones you spend the most time (and money) targeting. For example, if you're an outdoor apparel manufacturer, your primary customer could be a snowboarding or surfing enthusiast. Yet you might also have "secondary" customers—customers you wouldn't necessarily expect to be interested in your product. Many outdoor product manufacturers have strong secondary markets among people who aren't active in a particular sport but are attracted by the brand image. Surfboard maker O'Neill, for example, has a strong secondary market selling T-shirts displaying the company logo to the general population, who aren't surfers but perhaps wish they were!
End User vs. Customer
If you were asked to say precisely who your customers—or potential customers—were, how would you answer? You might say that your customers are all of the people who purchase and use your product or service—but you would be wrong. You must be careful to distinguish between your customer and the end user of your product or service. You may be selling directly to your end users. Or you may be selling to an intermediary—or middleperson—and that intermediary may well have other intermediaries.
Being responsive to the details that are important to distributors, retailers, sales representatives, and others helps you plan your marketing materials, operations, packaging, even the nature of the product itself.
The Costs of Switching
Another point you need to consider is how hard it will be for potential customers to switch from an existing product or service to your offering. Just as there are barriers to entry for businesses (for example, it's difficult to embark on a new semiconductor manufacturing business because of all the specialized staff, equipment, and facilities required), there are also barriers to switching for customers. These barriers can be physical—for example, moving from videocassettes to DVDs took a long time because it involved replacing a pricey machine as well as personal libraries of movies—or they can be emotional. You'll see this in the high-tech world all the time: the time and energy it takes to get files and data from an old computer to a new one causes many people to put off purchasing the latest and greatest machine, no matter how much of an improvement it represents over their existing one.
Although you might not have enough research data at this stage to fully understand all aspects of your customer, you should have some idea who you're targeting with your product or service.
Understanding your customers could include knowing their:
• Geography (Where are they located?)
The most important way in which you need to understand your customers, however, is what they need and want. Ideally, you are fulfilling a need that is currently not being addressed—or addressed effectively—by existing products and/or services.

GARFIELD-L ArchivesArchiver > GARFIELD > 2002-11 > 1038088109
From: (Christine Mercer-Cleasby)
Subject: [GARFIELD] Diantha Garfield
Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 15:48:38 -0600 (CST)
Hi Everyone,
The world as we know it has come to a screeching hault here in Wisconsin
as deer hunting started today. With all the talk of C.W.D. you'd think
they wouldn't all be hunting, go figure.
Anyways, I was sent back a reply from Leicester, VT. this past week and
just today had time to go through it all.
The info I have is concerning Diantha Garfield.
I first came across her name a couple of years ago when I got all the
Garfield info from Schroon. The cemetery records say the
Stoel, Diantha (Garfield) born Lester VT 1806, d. Schroon 1862 - 54 yrs.
old, wife of John.
NOTE - 1862 - 54 years = 1808 not 1806.
It didn't tell anywhere in the Schroon records, who her parents were,
like it does for all the other Garfield's there. I wrote back asking who
her parents were and no one knows.
Then I came across her name again while I was reading, "The History of
Essex Co.,NY." 1885 by H.P. Smith.
Susan, you also referred to her and this same book in a posting dated
Sept. 16, 2000.
Diantha is mentioned on page 727.
"Stoel, John was born in Clarendon, VT, in 1802, and came to Essex
county in 1809. His wife was Diantha Garfield.
Elizabeth, born April 16, 1829, died June 1, 1857
J. Sumner, born Jan. 17, 1831
Bryon D., born March 29, 1833, died Nov. 5, 1864
Abigail, born Aug. 28th, 1835, died March 14, 1856;
Hannah, born, Oct.29, 1837
George, born, Aug. 28, 1839
Diantha M., born Dec. 17, 1841
Adelaide, May 5, 1846."
Here's what I found out from Leicester.
Joshua & Lydia Parker were married in 1795, not in 1797 as I had
previously thought.
Salmon (brother to my Elijah who was one of the first settlers of
Schroon) and his wife Abigail had for children born in Leicester, Vt. in
the following order......
Sally Garfield b. 10/07/1801
Harriet Garfield b. 06/20/1803
Jonathan Sumner Garfield b. 08/22/1805
Hannah Garfield b. 05/06/1807
DYANTTIAL Garfield b. 07/23/1808.
I think this DYANTTIAL is our Diantha. Notice her birth date and also
the similarities in the names of her siblings and her children.
Your comments please! If you already knew this, please let me know. If
I'm really of track, let me know. Thanks, Chrissy
P.S. Dick, Please note the marriage year for Joshua and Lydia, the
spelling "SUMNER'. I know we had been working on these and other
questions earlier in the year.

Anyone who has a valid copyright on an eBook should be on the alert for pirating. As we discovered, a firm demand with a threat of legal action can quickly eliminate the pirating.
Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) June 12, 2012
Dery Books today announced that a prominent online file-sharing service has agreed to stop promoting free downloads of "The 50 Funniest Siri Answers," the only eBook in the "Life With Siri" series of eBooks that is known to have been pirated.
The author, Jodi Dery, stated, "It was a surprise to learn that a link had been posted on a file-sharing service to freely download one of our copyrighted eBooks. Upon learning that, we took immediate action by contacting that file-sharing service and demanding that the download link be deactivated. Fortunately, it turned out that the file-sharing service is a responsible organization. They promptly deactivated the download link."
Dery added, "There is a lesson to be learned by this experience. Anyone who has a valid copyright on an eBook should be on the alert for such pirating. That is easily done with Google Alerts. Then, as we discovered, a firm demand with a threat of legal action can quickly eliminate the pirating."
While most eBooks are primarily text-based, "Life With Siri" is essentially illustrative, using original screenshots to demonstrate how to most effectively use Siri, the perceptive, conversational "personal assistant" on the iPhone 4S. As Dery put it, "Presenting Siri's responses in this illustrative manner -- with maximum use of illustrations and no more text than necessary -- helps to remember the best ways to get results you want from Siri. Even so, Siri is unpredictable and full of surprises."
Each of the "Life With Siri" eBooks is illustrated with original screenshots of conversations with Siri on the iPhone 4S, as well as original editorial comments, and each of these eBooks is protected by copyright.
"The 50 Funniest Siri Answers" and its companion volume "The 50 Best Siri Tips" are available for download through Amazon (Kindle edition), Barnes & Noble (Nook Edition) and iTunes (iBooks Edition) at $.99 each. "Life With Siri, Volume One" combines both eBooks with additional material, and it is available from all three retailers at $1.99 per download.
"Life With Siri, Volume Two", is now also available at $1.99 per download. It contains 56 additional Siri tips and 52 additional funny Siri answers.

(NAPSI)Watching elite athletes perform at the highest level is inspiring. While most people never compete professionally in sports, its fun to see athletes attempt physically extraordinary acts.
But few examples may be as inspiring as the life led by the athlete-mom. She balances rigorous training routines and nutrition plans with laundry, diapers and playtime.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, professional athletes work more than 40 hours per week on average, including weekends and holidays. Some are also moms. Here are some household tips used by athlete-moms to manage their action-packed lives.
Strength in Numbers
One of the hardest parts of being a parent is finding time to exercise and make healthy choices. The solution? Find a friend or two, and make a plan to exercise together or brainstorm ideas for healthy dinners. If you are new to an area, sites such as meetup.com are great for finding like-minded new friends in casual, fun settings.
Rise and Shine
Having a hard time checking those errands off your list? Looking for just 10 minutes of me time to have a cup of coffee and read your Tumblr feed? Do it early in the morning. It can seem like a painful idea to sacrifice any precious sleep, but lets be honest: You could probably go to bed a little earlier. Chances are youll be too tired during the middle or end of the day to make any measurable or enjoyable progress. Get up early and tackle that to-do list when youre rested and much of the world is still asleep.
Time-Saving Items
You can try to wrestle time back from your busy day or you can actually save some time with the right household products. Take it from Olympic gold-medalist, pro-swimmer and mom Amanda Beard, who recently switched to the high-quality Maytag Bravos XL washer and dryer. According to Beard, I used to constantly rewash my sons clothes because many spots just wouldnt come out. My dryer never got hot enough, so I had to wait hours for everything to dry. Not anymore. My laundry is perfect every time, plus Maytag is an American company I know I can depend on. Go, Team USA!
The next time you see an inspiring athlete who is also a mom, remember that its the little things that help her succeed in sports, as well as at home.

Sara Leal's Giving Interviews About Banging Ashton Kutcher
When a woman has sex with a man, it's almost always for one of two things: Money, or an item they don't want to pay for with their own money. And it's been that way since the first caveman invented shoes. So naturally Ashton Kutcher's mistress Sara Leal has sold an exclusive interview to Us Weekly in which she talks about all the sex they had that apparently was hinged on him saying he was separated from Demi Moore and not at all about these amazing payouts she's receiving along with the little nest egg Ashton left in her because he banged her without a condom. Oh, yeah, that happened too:
"He just came up and kissed me," the Texas native tells Us of Kutcher's first bold move in the wee hours; minutes later, Leal, Kutcher and another young woman were completely nude and in a hot tub on the balcony.
"I didn't think it was out of the ordinary," Leal admits. "I wasn't self-conscious about getting naked."
When Kutcher claimed that he was "separated" from wife Moore, 48, Leal tells Us she believed him.
After retreating to Kutcher's bedroom past 6 a.m., "he lost his towel and I took my robe off," Leal says. "Then we had sex."
"He was good," Leal reveals. "It wasn't weird or perverted." It also wasn't 100 percent safe, either: Leal tells Us that Kutcher did not wear a condom during their one-on-one encounter.
Sara goes on to describe their morning of passion – on his sixth anniversary to Demi Moore, by the way – as "tender" and full of Ashton laughing at everything probably because he was getting away with using lines like this:
"He was like, 'I enjoy things like this because I'm an actor 90 percent of the time and it's fake. It's nice to have moments that are real.'"
He then added, "By the way that was acting, so listen: Gonna need you to keep quiet about all this which I'll know you do because I'm so handsome and sometimes don't tuck my belt into the next belt loop. I'm something of a collaborator of thoughts and dreams, I know. *waves hand in front of her face* You will forget all of this. You will not sell exclusive interviews to- Ooh, whose scarf is this? I'm taking it!"

As is often the case with technology, the green data center realm has plenty of acronyms. PURE, DCiE and LEED (from the USGBC) have become familiar terms. Now there's another one: BREEAM. That's the environmental certification program in the United Kingdom, sponsored by the Building Research Establishment.
Digital Realty Trust (DLR) said Thursday that data center it is building near London for HSBC (HBC) has earned the first BREEAM "Excellent" rating, the highest available rating through BREEAM certification. This certification is the first in the UK data centre industry, and recognizes the energy-efficient design and construction of the new 107,000 square foot facility for HSBC, the global banking and financial services institution.
The HSBC site was acquired by Digital Realty Trust in April 2007 to support HSBC's global computing infrastructure. Digital Realty partnered with CHt Data Solutions of the Laing O'Rourke Group to construct the facility.

This post on the Ten Commandments and contemplating their alternatives hits the issue of closed minds on the button. Structure, even spurious structure, is often manifestly priceless. History is full of examples where someone who is capable of offering such structure is judged not on the intrinsic merits of their beast but, rather, on its ability to provide societal comfort in times of crisis.
Meanwhile, a comment on Chris's post today truly hit home, and reminded me of uni. Whilst the former describes how celebrity culture is anything but a meritocracy, that – indeed – the free market rewards not the deserving but the noticed, and furthermore argues that …
[…] Everyone loves to gossip. A few decades ago, they did so like Cissie and Ada, about neighbours and acquaintances. In our more atomized society, though, this is less possible. So we gossip about celebrities instead.
… the latter suggests that:
This is the whole reason why soaps exist. You can gossip about them at work.
Chris also observes accurately (the bold is mine):
[..] All – like many former MPs – are using the celebrity or notoriety obtained in one sphere to make money in another. Many people, such as Katie Price orPippa Middleton, make a life of this. Celebrity is a general purpose technology.
And that, in reality, is where we're at. Celebrity is a simple tool to generate wealth. Like many tools, like many technologies, it is transferable: transferable from one area to another with relative ease, especially when you've cottoned on to the whole concept of transferability. The free market – Western civilisation in the round – operates not to reward worth or utility but, instead, those individuals and organisations who understand how to sustain and maximise their existing advantage.
Or does it?
There is, surely, another point of view which bears uncovering here. Celebrity – and here I mean things like people who are famous for being famous, people who are famous for actually being quite good in their field, people who are notably something (whether clever, stupid, physically attractive or particularly disagreeable), people who occupy important roles, people who occupy private spaces which become public (especially against their will) … anyone and everyone who registers on the surface of media irascibility – does actually provide a considerable service to humankind. In a randomising chaotic universe, celebrity provides us with structure. From the grandfather who opens his sports paper every morning in order to meet up again with a characterful stage of regular actors to the stay-at-home parent who watches a daytime TV punctured by regular crazinesses to the businessperson with a permanently connected stock-market app … all of these are processes with a purpose much greater than their apparent/alleged utility: they help us believe we can make sense of the senseless by providing us with patterns which manfully – and womanfully – repeat and resolve.
Yes. Soap operas do allow us to gossip daily about something. But, in truth, the purpose of gossip is noble: it gives us a basis for giving shape to our surroundings.
In that sense, celebrity equals utility squared. Gossip being its visible manifestation, its medium if you like, its paintbrush perhaps, celebrity is the engine of structure in our media-organised world.
The free market may be rightfully accused of not creating the conditions for planet-saving meritocracy. But in no way can its most visible components be accused of not satisfying serious needs – needs that all human beings, occupying randomised slots in universally bemusing situations, are inevitably going to exhibit and want supplying.

Bo Jackson was a natural choice to spearhead Nike's original cross-training campaigns. Who's the new face of Nike Training? You could easily argue that's 7-class champion boxer Manny Pacquiao, whose Lights Out Trainer 1 was one of the hottest shoes of 2009. Here, we get a glimpse at the upcoming Pac Man PE for the Nike Trainer SC 2010. It's adorned in the flag colours from Pacquiao's native Philippines, plus splashes of gold cos this guy is clearly tops in the fight game right now. This pair is set for a March release, so take a look at more photos after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Manny Pacquiao Nike Trainers. via NT

Previously, fiction books published on the Web were often divided into lines of ~80 characters for comfortable reading. This can be a problem on small displays (such as phones), causing poorly-wrapped formatting. Reformator is a simple Qt utility that attempts to remove newlines inside paragraphs without removing those between paragraphs. Just set the size of the first line indent, and Reformator will recognize real paragraphs and remove all non-useful newlines. It can also detect indent size automatically. It is recommended to back up your books before reformatting.

Dave Niekamp says the town of Annaheim "wouldn't exist" if it wasn't for Doepker Industries, a highway trailer manufacturer in the small prairie town northeast of Saskatoon.
It's not just because the company employs 200 people in a town of only 220. Niekamp, a process manager and 37-year veteran of the company, says Annaheim has faced growth challenges since German immigrants established homesteads there more than a century ago. The town was settled 15 kilometres from the nearest main road, and there was no rail connection, a common feature in area towns at the time.
Nowadays, Annaheim is still a small place that depends on nearby communities like Humboldt for essential services like a hospital and grocery store, but it's mostly self-sufficient with a school, hotel, pub and restaurant because of Doepker's presence.
"The town wouldn't have grown without the company. It's pretty significant that a small place like this has a K-12 school," says Mr. Niekamp, noting the many young families with parents employed at Doepker.
Annaheim is one of Canada's few remaining "company towns," places where locally owned small- and medium-size businesses are the primary employer and wealth creator. In fact, this region of Saskatchewan – once referred to as the "Iron Triangle" for its cluster of towns with metal manufacturers – has many such towns, which is unusual in an economic development climate that stresses diversification and small-business growth as keys to reviving small-town economies.
Michel's Industries employs about 80 people in the nearby town of St. Gregor (population 120). Schulte Industries has 150 employees in Englefeld, a town of 300. The regional cluster is one of the main reasons the companies in these one-industry towns continue to grow. The common labour pool helps solve their main obstacle to growth: the attraction and retention of a skilled work force.
Dave Doepker's father and uncles started Doepker Industries in 1948 after growing up on a farm and deciding to start manufacturing equipment to serve the local farming community. They subsequently began making highway transportation trailers, which they now do exclusively. The company primarily serves a national market, and produces trailers for a variety of industries, including farming, forestry, and oil and gas.
As it expanded its product lines and deepened its market penetration over the decades, Doepker discovered its greatest strength was also its greatest weakness – its work force.
"Being in a rural community is both a blessing and a curse," says Mr. Doepker, who owns the company along with two family members. "You get good, strong, loyal employees. [But] when you go into a growth mode, it's hard to find new employees."
This presented the company with a challenge when it sought to expand in the mid-1990s. The solution: open a plant in Moose Jaw, which is about 250 kilometres south of Annaheim. In 2006, Doepker's grew again, opening another facility 150 kilometres away in Saskatoon.
Doepker has tried other ways to expand its employee base, including recruiting employees from overseas. Many years ago, more than 30 people came from South Africa; the company is now trying to bring up to 30 people from the Philippines. "If we can't find the skilled labour we need to get it from other countries," says Mr. Doepker, who cites the need for welders and industrial painters.
Not all of its strategies have required the company to look so far afield. Facing another employee shortage in 2000, the company put out a call to women in the area to join what was until then a male-dominated work force. The company offered them a welding training program, and many women were subsequently hired. Fifty per cent of the Doepker's workforce is now female, says Niekamp.
"It was accepted easily," says Mr. Niekamp of the culture shift that took place. "We just had to get the word out to women that the opportunity was there."
Doepker is one of purest examples of a "company town" in this region. Michel Industries, on the other hand, a company which manufactures tarps that cover trucks and trailers, employs only a handful of people from St. Gregor itself; the rest come from Humboldt, about 10 kilometres away.
"There are a lot of retired people in St. Gregor," says company owner Bud Michel, "so we hired people within a 50-kilometre radius [of the town]."
Most companies avail themselves of the regional supply of employees in the Iron Triangle. Forty per cent of Doepker's employees also come from Humboldt, which is only 25 minutes away by car. This is both good and bad for business, says Mr. Doepker, who lives in Humboldt himself.
"There's a lot of metal manufacturing that goes on in this particular area," he says. "Again, it's a blessing and a curse. The blessing is there's a critical mass so people can move to the area, and if there's a slowdown in one of the industries they can always go get a job in another one. The curse is everyone is pulling from the same pool. We're all looking for painters, engineers and welders."
Mr. Michel echoes this sentiment. "If you're welder, you're going to find a job [in this region]," he says.
The towns used to be more independent. Mr. Doepker uses a sports analogy to illustrate how things have changed over the decades. Each community used to have its own hockey teams. Nowadays, youth from two or three towns play together because there aren't enough of them to assemble teams in each age group. This regional focus extends beyond the world of sports with shared services such as economic development and healthcare.
"Now the rivalry's gone and we're joined together," he says. "That's good."
The firms still have strong attachments to their host communities. They help fundraise for rinks and schools, and sit on the boards of area boards and commissions. Dr. Lloyd Steier, a University of Alberta professor and specialist in family business issues, says community building is an essential part of doing business in a small town, especially for employers that rely on a deep labour pool. Prospective employees want good schools, hospitals and other amenities, and businesses need to help deliver them.
"[Getting involved] is altruistic, but it's also self-serving," says Dr. Steier. "You have to make an investment in the community."
Across Canada, there are other towns like St. Gregor and Annaheim, but it's increasingly rare as more small- and medium-sized companies go out of business or get absorbed by multinationals. Many small towns are also trying to diversify their economy so they're not reliant on one company to create wealth and employment, says Jeff Dixon, a business professor at Queen's University.
Dr. Dixon's research focus is eastern Ontario and he couldn't think of any towns that still had one dominant business. "They're not 'smokestack chasing' anymore," says Dr. Dixon, referring to the age-old strategy of trying to recruit large employers that employ hundreds.
Instead, they're focusing cultivating many entrepreneurs that start businesses that initially employ only one or two people at the start, something he refers to as the "economy of the ones and twos."
Going back 60 years, this is the story of firms like Doepker – small-scale entrepreneurs that eventually grew companies big enough to support entire towns. Now, Doepker is outgrowing the town, forcing it to expand its activities and grow its employee base elsewhere. The plant in Moose Jaw employs 140 people; the one in Saskatoon has 60 employees.
Despite the growth possibilities in bigger centres, Mr. Doepker says his company is committed to Annaheim.
"It's our home," he said. "A lot of our families live here and always have. There's a connection to this community, and I don't think we've ever thought of breaking that connection."

Optoma ML500 DLP Projector Review
Optoma ML500 Picture Quality
The Optoma ML500 overall is a decent projector, but a true test of a great projector is image quality and clarity. Surprisingly, it did great in some areas and not so great in others. Unfortunately the image was not as sharp as I was hoping it could be. When you see a compact unit that is just 2.5 pounds and 500 lumens, not to mention with a lamp life of 20,000 hours, who wouldn't hope it could be the complete package.
In the projector's native resolution of 1280×800, the image was satisfactory but not clear enough to be considered a top rated projector. Crisp, sharp lettering that I come to expect from more expensive projectors, was a little bit fuzzy and over time eye fatigue set in. Although I felt at this point trying out higher resolutions would be futile, I did just to be comprehensive. What I suspected was only reinforced even more. Lettering in 12pt and smaller type became unreadable and when resolution was bumped to the maximum tolerable, which was 1680×1050, I stopped testing.
Ultimately the ML500 just doesn't produce a sharp, crisp image. This is not to say that the current product run of ML500's aren't sharp but the unit I evaluated needs sharpness improvement. Here is a look at the projector in three different resolutions. Click on the image to see a larger view.
Optoma ML500 Projector: Color
Color is where I was really surprised. For a DLP projector, the ML500 did a pretty decent job of displaying colors that most DLP projectors seem to have trouble with. Most DLP projectors produce a more muddy looking yellow that almost shifts to green. They also can produce a red that looks more like an orange. As you will see below in the pictures, the ML500 does a much improved yellow and the red actually looks more true red than most DLP's. It is possible to adjust the projectors brightness and contrast to achieve better color, so keep that in mind.
Optoma ML500 Projector: Video Performance
When it comes to video, the Optoma ML500 actually performed well. I am able to say this after mentioning that the sharpness was not as good as I would like because video doesn't require the same level of sharpness to enjoy as does working with spreadsheets and other text heavy documents. Can't honestly say it would be a good ultra portable home theater considering there are some really great models out there that are affordable, but if you were looking for a HD projector for just video and you really wanted it to be small, then the ML500 is definitely worth a look. Below are some images taken while displaying HD through a HDMI cable.

MS 13 Tattoos and Tattoo Designs Pictures Gallery
MS is an abbreviation for Mara Salvatrucha. This is the name used to refer to gangs that are located in Central America and the United States. The gangs have been abbreviated to Mara, M.S. and the likes. Therefore MS – 13 tattoos are the tattoos worn by members of this gang. Gang members are normally Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Hondurans, and other Central Americans.
These gangs have groups that are found throughout Latin America and the United States. Due to the expansion of the gangs, you will find that they have expanded their networks to other areas. These areas include Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Spain, Great Britain and Germany. This was reported by various press releases on criminal activity in these areas. Gang members seen to be spotting MS – 13 tattoos are believed to be in hundreds in the United States.
This information was relayed in 2005 making it possible for them to be more by now. MS – 13 tattoos are used to identify gang members of this group therefore you will find that they are not common with ordinary members of the public. The fact that this gang has been known to be associated with offences like human trafficking, drug trafficking, black market gun sales, among other crimes.
The F.B.I. has been concerned with their activities such that on September of 2005 they did a high level sweep of suspected members who were affiliated to these gangs. Sine then the number of MS – 13 tattoos being done on normal civilians dropped. There is no way you can convince the security agencies that you are not a gang member when you are sporting one of their tattoos. Also, MS – 13 tattoos can cause unprecedented attention when it is not warranted. For example, you will find that a person who has MS – 13 tattoos will get into trouble with other gang groups that have been conflicting with that gang.
Gang members will never confirm if you are an innocent bystander or you are part of a gang they hate. That is why you should never get these tattoos.

Maine's two Republican senators joined Democrats today to break a GOP filibuster over a measure to give cash-strapped states $26 billion.
The vote was 61-38, with 60 votes needed to advance the legislation to the full Senate, which could act later today or tomorrow.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she would call the House back into session next week for a final vote so President Obama can sign the bill, which would give states $16 billion for Medicaid funding and $10 billion to keep tens of thousands of teachers and other public employees employed.
Pelosi issued her announcement over Twitter, The Hill notes.

It would be helpful if you read the original messages about this. A

Vices as well as pleasures are remembered, and beer, tequila, mezcal, or even cigarettes can be included.
They had been carousing on mezcal, and were keeping no guard.
A mouthful of mezcal, or fiery native spirit, will ward off a chill.

Garote fetched a jar of mezcal, which he placed before his terrible accomplice.
