Post subject: Dolphins Needs Assuming Everyone on the Roster Stays
The Dolphins are loaded with draft picks and cap room this offseason. The primary reason we have so much cap room available is because a lot of our starters are set to become free agents. I thought it would be practical to look at where our needs are before free agency and the draft. By understanding how our positions grade out now, we will have a better idea of how important our free agents are, and how big of a need we will have when some of them do not return.
Lets assume that all of the players on the roster were returning next year, and the only method where we were going to improve the team was through the draft, where we have nine picks (12, 42, 54, 77, 82, plus roughly 108, 139, 201, and 208). For example, assume Jake Long, Sean Smith, Brian Hartline etc. would all be back. On a scale of 1 to 5 (no decimals), with 1 being a minimal need and 5 being a gaping hole on the roster, how would you evaluate each position?
[b]QB- 1[/b]
We used the 8th overall pick last year on Tannehill, who is expected to be our QB for a long time. Moore is arguably the best backup in the league. Devlin is a nice developmental guy.
[b]RB- 1[/b]
Reggie Bush is a decent starter. Daniel Thomas was a 2nd rounder two years ago, and has looked good when healthy (although he is often hurt). Lamar Miller was a 4th rounder last year and looked promising in his limited reps last year. Marcus Thigpen and Jonas Gray provide depth.
[b]FB- 2[/b]
Jorvorskie Lane looked average. Clay sometimes plays here.
[b]WR- 5[/b]
The biggest need on the roster and its not even close. None of our wide outs are difference makers. Hartline works as a second option or a really good third, and Bess is good in the slot. All of the other guys are question marks. Moore is a good special teams guy, but not much else. Mathews is a project; he looked OK in limited snaps, but the jury is still out. Binns is another project who is inconsistent. Fuller and Tyms are pretty irrelevant. The bottom line is we absolutely need a top guy, and possibly two to add to the roster.
[b]TE- 3[/b]
This was a tough position to grade. Fasano is consistently average, being a solid blocker, and a decent pass catcher, but certainly not a playmaker. We invested a 3rd rounder last year on Egnew, who [inappropriate/removed] the bed this year, making the position a question mark. Does he improve his play this offseason, or does he stay the same? If its the latter, we need a new tight end; if its the former, we dont. Charles Clay also sometimes plays here. Kyle Miller is pretty irrelevant.
[b]T- 2[/b]
Although Jake Long doesnt really fit the ZBS, he is still a good tackle (when healthy). We invested a relatively early 2nd rounder last year on Jon Martin, who had an OK rookie year, but should improve next year with a full offseason to improve strength and technique. Nate Garner is a fine backup, and is versatile. Not sure about Yeatman, Brown, and McDonald.
[b]G- 2[/b]
This is debatable. I think Incognito and Jerry are decent, but dont fit the scheme perfectly. An improvement would be nice, but not crucial. Not sure about Chandler Burden.
[b]C- 1[/b]
We invested the 12th overall pick on Pouncey two years ago, and he looks like a stud. Samuda works as a backup. Were fine here.
[b]DE- 2[/b]
Cameron Wake is a stud and probably our best player. Odrick is solid, and Vernon showed promise his rookie year. I expect him to make a jump next year. We also have Derrick Shelby for depth.
[b]DT- 2[/b]
The combination of Starks and Soliai is one of the best in the league at the position. McDaniel has been decent as a backup, and Randall and Alecxih provide depth.
[b]LB- 2[/b]
The combination of Dansby, Burnett, and Misi has been solid. Trusnik, Kaddu, Freeny, and Spitler are the backups, with Kaddu a 5th rounder last year who should make an improvement next year. The biggest issue here is the age of Dansby and Burnett, and we could also use better depth.
[b]CB- 3[/b]
Sean Smith is one starter; after 4 years, it looks like he is a decent, but not great corner. Richard Marshall is the other starter; he was good enough that we felt comfortable trading Vontae, but he was hurt most of the year, so its hard to get a good read on how well he will perform in the future. Dmitri Patterson is a wildcard, and we also have Nolan Carroll, Bryan McCann, Julian Posey, DeAndre Presley, and RJ Stanford. Marshall being healthy should help, but we could still use an improvement, especially as the league is shifting to a passing offense and a third corner is often on the field.
[b]S- 2[/b]
Reshad Jones showed major improvements this year, and looks like a keeper and possible playmaker in the secondary as a SS. Chris Clemons is alright. Jimmy Wilson, Jon Amaya, Tyrone Culver and Kelcie McCray provide mediocre depth.
[b]Special Teams:[/b]
[b]K- 2[/b]
Dan Carpenter is pretty average, but is one of the highest paid kickers in the game. We also had Nate Kaeding at the end of the year.
[b]P- 1[/b]
Brandon Fields was one of the best punters this year, and is definitely a keeper.
[b]LS- 1[/b]
John Denney has been our long snapper for years, and has done a great job.
[b]How Positional Needs Change based off of who leaves in Free Agency:[/b]
If Matt Moore leaves, QB moves from a 1 to a 2
If Reggie Bush leaves, RB moves from a 1 to a 2
If Brian Hartline leaves, WR stays at 5 and becomes even more of a pressing need
If Jake Long leaves, T moves from a 2 to a 4, and if Nate Garner leaves as well, it becomes a 5
If Anthony Fasano leaves, TE moves from a 3 to a 5, unless Egnew is making major strides
If Randy Starks leaves and Jared Odrick is moved to DT, DT stays at 2 and DE moves to 3
If Randy Starks leaves and Jared Odrick stays at DE, then DT moves to a 3 if McDaniel stays and a 4 if McDaniel leaves and DE stays at 2
If Sean Smith leaves, CB moves from a 3 to a 5
If Chris Clemons leaves, S moves from a 2 to a 3
Any potential free agent not mentioned here is a backup and I am not too concerned about replacing any of them, thus the grades wont change based off what happens with them.
[b]In terms of overall skill of our potential free agents, Id rank them as:[/b]
Tier 1- Jake Long, Randy Starks
Tier 2- Sean Smith, Brian Hartline, Reggie Bush
Tier 3- Anthony Fasano, Chris Clemons, Matt Moore
Tier 4- Nate Garner, Tony McDaniel etc.
The bottom line is our roster is full of average players, with a few good ones sprinkled in. The biggest thing the team needs are playmakers. Wake is our only playmaker. Tannehill and Jones have the potential to become playmakers, and Pouncey is a stud, although not really a playmaker as he plays C. We also have a couple of good players signed for next year (Soliai, Dansby, Fields). The 12th overall pick gives us an excellent shot to find another playmaker; it doesnt seem like a good idea to trade down from it, if anything, Id say trade up. We have plenty of other draft picks to find good, cheap players who can replace a lot of the guys set to become FAs. The roughly $40 million well have in cap room needs to be used to fit a couple of our needs, and especially get a couple more playmakers.

I believe that this years cap space was planned. We did not do a lot of spending last year in the Offseason. I do think we are a team of average players and we need playmakers.

I think you are right. I honestly think that they didn't spend last year for a reason

May have been a smarter move....Philbin can now go after the guys he wants for his system and team. He has had a season of experience to evaluate the players on this team, to see what his QB is capable of and to see what kinf of team
wants to build. They can now lay down a plan of specific targets to sign, court, and draft. Signing some big names last off-season would have been more dangerous especially considering they could have spent a boat load of cash for a player that may not fit the system or plays to the schemes strength (Jake Long comes to mind....).

A GANG member stuffed more than 100 wraps of class A drugs inside his body in a bid to fool police after a drugs raid in Basingstoke.
Richard Yeboah, 19, of Bideford Road, Bromley, was arrested on March 17 after armed cops swooped on a house in Norn Hill, Oakridge, following a tip-off from the Metropolitan Police in London.
No drugs were recovered from the house except for a cannabis grinder, but police detained Yeboah amid suspicions that he had swallowed drugs.
At Basingstoke police station, a small quantity of herbal cannabis was recovered from his pocket. However, it was during a further search of Yeboah at the station on March 22, that officers recovered a cling film package from a tracksuit he was wearing under his jeans. It was covered in excrement.
Simon Edwards, prosecuting, said officers recovered 51 wraps of heroin weighing 5.93grams, and 75 wraps of crack cocaine weighing 7.60grams.
Defence barrister Rebecca Nieto said Yeboah had been a gang member since he was 15 and had a "very troubled and difficult upbringing".
Yeboah claimed he had been stabbed four times, and was forced to live outside Lewisham, where his parents lived, for fear of gang- related attacks.
Miss Nieto said he sold drugs to help support his elderly disabled father, and his mother. "A huge amount of his drug dealing money goes to his parents," she said.
Judge Susan Evans sentenced Yeboah to two years and eight months in a young offenders' institution for one count of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, one count of possession of a class A drug, and one count of possession of a class B drug.
She said: "I accept that you have been part of gang culture and found it difficult to pull away from that."
Detective Sergeant Graeme Eaton, of Basingstoke CID, who led the investigation, welcomed the sentence and said officers, supported by specialist teams, used intelligence to make Basingstoke a hostile place for drug dealers.
He said: "We will not tolerate these individuals travelling to Basingstoke to set up their distribution networks within our communities."

A balanced view: Costa Fortuna Cruise Review by clivep
Overall Member Rating
A balanced view
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
For us the cruising is mainly about the ports of call. From the ship we want good food available at convenient times, a comfortable cabin, efficient organization and friendly staff. We do not use the gym, spa, pools or bars and the only on board entertainment we are interested in is the occasional show in the theatre.
We find the Med too hot in the summer and just about right in November (about 18C) which is fortunate as this is when the best prices are to be found. Most lines find it hard to fill their ships at this time of year.
We sailed with Costa in 2001 & 2002 and have since sailed with RCI (2005 & 2007), MSC (2007), Celebrity (X) (2007, 2008 & 2009), NCL (2008) and Azamara (2009). Celebrity/Azamara has replaced RCI as our favourite mainly due to the excellent quality of food and the attention to More detail.
The cruise was booked 3 weeks before departure. The reason for our choice was that the sailing was from Venice, my wife's favourite place, and the price was right. I booked a B3 balcony cabin on deck 8 near the rear lifts which I find a convenient position. In retrospect this was not a good decision and I should have chosen the deck below. The cabin was immediately below the lido which has metal chairs. They made a horrendous screeching noise when dragged across the floor which was VERY audible in our cabin. Apparently many people have yet to learn that it is possible to lift the chairs quietly into position... the hurried staff were the worst culprits.
The biggest problem pre-cruise was getting information e.g. we had selected second sitting for dinner but did not know the dining time and were getting concerned it would be too late with no where open to snack earlier in the evening. The Costa web site was of little use and I relied on Cruise Critic for much information. This was a bit hit and miss as many posts referred to Caribbean sailings.
We stayed at the Best Western Hotel Olimpia the night before the cruise which was located immediately next to Piazzale Roma and can be recommended. We went shopping and it was a comfortable 15C outside so I was walking around in a polo shirt whilst the locals were in thick coats.
EMBARKATION The cruise ticket was only sent by email to us a few of days before the cruise after we chased our TA. Embarkation was quoted as 1.30pm but following info from posts on CC we took the courtesy bus to arrive at midday. We were given ticket no. 4 and 1-3 were already boarding. I could not see any complimentary beverages but before looking any more our number was called. There were only 4 girls on the check in desks but this is not as bad as it sounds as they were only checking the forms. The actual handing in of forms, photographs for ID, issue of stateroom cards and credit card registration were handled on the ship. It took about 20 minutes to get on board.
On boarding we were greeted by the English speaking host Andreas. He did not know the dinner times but told us where and when to see the Maitre'D for table changes. He said that there were about 2200 passengers on this sailing (fully loaded is about 1000 more) with 1000 crew. From the internet I already knew there very many unsold cabins. At least this brought the passenger/crew ratio down to that similar to X/RCI so I hoped we would not share any of the bad experiences posted on CC by people cruising on busier sailings.
CABIN After lunch in the buffet (more of that later) we went to the cabin. The cabin was slightly larger than others we have had. This was put to good use in the bathroom which was the best laid out we have seen. The shower had a curtain but the cubicle was large enough so that this was not a problem. The air con was already set to minimum temperature and it proved to be more effective than on our other recent cruises. We take an electric fan to assist air circulation and usually sleep with the balcony door open. Fortunately for my wife the hairdryer was in a drawer rather than in the bathroom. As Coral Costa club members we got a bottle of Spumante (which we took to dinner on the 3rd night) and a fruit basket. I was looking forward to the fruit basket as on the Costa website it is described as having: 1 pear, 1 apple, 1 mango, 1 papaya, 1 banana, 2 kiwi, 6 strawberries, and assorted berries. I was a bit disappointed as what we actually got was 2 apples, 1 orange, 2 kiwi and some grapes.
We found the beds to be much the same as on other lines (RCI, X, Azamara, NCL) in that they are far too hard for us. The stateroom attendant did not know of any foam toppers like we have had on other lines, but used the method we have experienced before of putting the spare duvet on top of the mattress below the sheet. Our experience with the attendant was similar to that of other staff we encountered in that they were polite but not as overtly friendly and talkative as on X/RCI. This could also be said of most of the European passengers who are more reserved than those we enjoy meeting on the US style cruises.
The Costa Today programme gave us much needed information on dining times: The grill was only open till 4.30pm. Afternoon tea (sandwiches and cookies) was normally from 4pm to 5pm. Dinner first sitting at 6.15pm Dinner second sitting at 8.30pm (8.45pm on formal nights) NO EVENING BUFFET Pizza by the slice was available until 9.30pm then the area opened as a Pizzeria (choice of 4 daily offerings) from 10pm till 1am.
The second sitting meal times were different to those on Costa's web site (9pm) and posted on CC (9.15pm). Apparently it depends on the season and is later in the summer.
The sheet also gave details of the revised itinerary. Several ports had their stops brought forward by 30 minutes or 1 hour. This made sense due to the dark evenings at this time of year but I cannot see why this information could not have been emailed to us before the cruise as this would affect people who had organized independent excursions.
Also on the sheet was stated the alcohol policy. This again is not clear from the website but you can find it by searching the FAQs for "alcohol". This reads: "No food or drink purchased on land may be brought aboard when boarding the ship. Any local products purchased during excursions may be handed to Costa staff for safekeeping and collected before disembarking at the end of the cruise". HOWEVER, at the end of the cruise the daily info sheet stated that CONFISCATED items would be returned the last evening.
The minibar prices were a joke. 5.50 Euro for spirits, 4.50 Euro for a beer and 2.60 Euro for a soft drink. Now that most lines have stopped you bringing your own alcohol or buying it in the duty free for use in your cabin we have adopted a simple policy. Other than any freebies we do not drink alcohol whilst on board.
On later days we found that reasonable maps were provided for the ports of call (like X/RCI but unlike MSC).
We saw the Maitre'D at 2.30pm and asked for a table for 2 in a cool part of the restaurant preferably with some air movement.
FOOD And so to the food... This is very subjective so I'll explain where I'm coming from. I'm a meat and 2 veg guy and will always go for the beef if available. I like gravy but not many other sauces (no tomato sauce on burgers, no dressing on salads, etc). I also like fresh fruit and ice cream. I am not keen on seafood. We find the MDR food on RCI and NCL to be too fancy with steak only appearing on the daily menu about twice a week consequently we choose the buffet in the evening on these lines. I find the MDR beef entrees on X to be fantastic, better than in the specialty restaurant on NCL.
The lunch buffet was arranged canteen style with 4 lines. Each line had bread, pizza, salad, carvery, fresh pasta, hot food and deserts. They had proper electric Pizza ovens and the Pizza was good (not as good as in Italy but better than those on RCI or X and the inedible ones on NCL). The carvery never had beef but rather veal and sometimes lamb. There was no cook to order pasta like my wife loves on X. She did not have the fresh pasta offered as it was cream based rather than tomato based. The hot food had a reasonable selection of meats and fish. There was always one potato dish and one other vegetable dish... these were plainly cooked without sauces which suited me fine but I would have liked gravy which was only available some days at the carvery area. The selection of cake was very limited. There was usually fruit cocktail (unripe melon and pineapple) and occasionally some fresh whole fruit. I was surprised by the lack of fresh fruit... there were usually apples but little else, once bananas, once grapes, once pears and once oranges but that was it (this included breakfast). Unfortunately all 4 lines had identical fare and overall there was far less choice than on X/RCI/NCL.
We never encountered any difficulties finding a free table at the buffet at lunchtime. There was sometimes a delay in the empty tables being cleared and cleaned. On average we had to reject the advances of three bar staff that were not at all busy.
Every day in the buffet flies would settle on the table whilst you were eating. On one day they had a big pile of parmesan-reggiano cheese chunks. Having enjoyed some of this I later saw 2 flies crawling all over the pile! This seemed of no concern to the crew. This cruise was in November so I don't like to think what it would have been like in the heat of summer. We have never experienced this problem before on any other line.
The grill in the Lido had burgers, hot dogs and fries. Like the buffet this was self service. At least the food was hot. The fries suffered from not being fresh but were better than the cardboard offerings on MSC. The burgers were tastier than those on X.
The healthy eating options consisted of an often empty small chilled cabinet at the far end of the Lido next to the ice cream machine which I seem to remember sometimes contained some plates of cake. Even here there was no fresh whole fruit (unlike the excellent Aqua Spa cafe on X).
They had one ice cream machine open in the buffet (chocolate & vanilla) and one in the Lido (strawberry & vanilla). This is like RCI & NCL whereas X has a wonderful (free) ice cream station in the buffet area. On MSC there is no free ice cream in the buffet. The machines closed for the day when lunch finished. There was also gelato for sale at the pool bar.
Coffee and ice water were freely available whilst food was served so I believe this would have been till at least 1am. None of the MSC problems then! The coffee was better than on X. No iced tea and lemonade like X/RCI/NCL or the lovely fruit juice of X though.
Afternoon sandwiches and cookies were served from 4pm-5pm.
We only used the MDR for dinner. The menu had fewer options than that on Costa's Caribbean cruises: Appetizers - choice of 3. Not much in the way of seafood (OK by me). Shrimps cocktail only available on 1 night. No always available options. Soup - NO choice. No cold soups. Usually a creamed soup and very tasty. Pasta - choice of 2 + always available spaghetti. EntrEe - choice of 4 inc. 1 vegetarian + about 3 always available options. Steak appeared 3 times but was bland and not tender. On the first night the steak was the worst I have ever had... like rubber which I had difficulty even cutting through with the knife. Prime rib is normally one of my favorites but their aged prime rib was unrecognizable. The vegetables were cooked plainly. There was very little sauce. Salad - normally served alongside the entrEe - NO choice. Almost entirely iceberg lettuce. No Caesar salad or any other always available option. Cheese and crackers. Desserts - quite a nice selection. Coffee - freely available (unlike MSC) but not as good as in the buffet. Iced water was freely available.
I did not have any problem with the MDR food other than the disappointing steaks. However, I would not describe the MDR dining experience as a highlight of the cruise. It was similar in quality to RCI and NCL (well below X) but without as much choice. We would have dined in the buffet if one were available in the evening. It was always hot in the MDR and I was glad that dressing up was optional on formal nights as I would not like to have had to put on a jacket or tie. I would agree with a posting on CC that on formal night the attire for men was about this: Tux 5%, Dark Suit 50%, Sport coat or dress shirt with tie 20%, Casual 25%
Our table for 2 was at the far end of the room furthest from entrance and the kitchens. On the first night our waiter and assistant had only our table of 2 to serve and the whole meal took 1 hour. Subsequently they were serving 24 passengers at our sitting (2x tables of 2 and 2x tables of 10). They struggled big time and were very apologetic. I believe this is their full workload which I think is about double that on X. On most tables passengers seemed to be on drinks packages and it was the waiters' jobs to bring the bottled water and opened bottles of wine to the tables for the passengers to serve themselves from. I did not see any sommeliers or bar staff in the MDR and no one asked us if we wanted to buy wine or have anything from the bar. Our jug of iced tap water was usually waiting on the table for us to serve ourselves. We always arrived promptly and our waiter took our order first but the orders (inc. those for deserts) were taken from all his tables before anyone went to the kitchens so it was always 30+ minutes before the appetizers arrived. Our meals took 1 3/4 - 2 hours and we were often the last ones out of the restaurant. Soup usually was served with the contents splashed on the outside of the bowls. My salad often arrived after I had finished the entree. I was amazed to see the waiter cutting up blocks of cheese and preparing the cheese plates himself at his station during his "spare" time! On the last night they ran out of crackers so the waiter had opened his remaining packs and rationed us to one cracker per plate. I noticed that at the neighbouring stations behind me one waiter had only one table of 8 to serve for the whole cruise and another only one table of 6... the passengers on these tables would no doubt say the service was excellent in the MDR. One would have thought our assistant Maitre'D would have resolved the problem but he was not really interested in talking to us as he was too busy fawning over the large tables of Italians.
The music was not too loud but apart from 1 night they played the same 30 minute CD over and over... we got Englebert Humperdinck's "the last waltz" etc. 4 times per night!
Forget room service. It is chargeable and they only had snacks not meals... not even a burger!!! No chance of dining in your room from the whole MDR menu like on X.
EXCURSIONS On Bari we took a ship's tour which started at midday and they conveniently opened lunch an hour early. We did the Sassi of Matera which was enjoyable and reasonable value. There were not enough English speaking people for the trip so they combined the German speaking one with ours. We had two tour guides on our coach and they took it in turns to speak. When we got back after 5pm the only choice was Pizza to last until dinner whereas we would normally hit the grill at this point.
TENDERING With way less than a full ship and being the only cruise ship in port on all our ports of call I was not anticipating too many problems. It should not surprise anyone that the ship's excursions get priority tendering. I was pleased to read from another review that there were no priority passes for any cabin grades as I find this a form of queue jumping in front of what would become second class passengers. (We did not use the priority passes we got from X earlier this year on that sailing).
We docked in Katakolon so no problem there.
For Santorini I would criticize Costa in that I do not think they should advertise the hours in port as 7am-1pm when this only applies if you are on a ship's excursion. I believe it should be listed as a technical stop at 7am for those on ship's excursions and the timings for when positioned off Fira shown in the itinerary.
After dropping off those on the ship's excursions, the ship was due to be repositioned and tendering due to start for the other passengers at 8.45. They were ahead of this schedule and when we went down to the theatre at 9.15 they were just about to go free tendering (without ticket). We went straight through to the tenders, then on the cable car (with no queuing) and were in Fira by 9.30.
Since most ships' excursions leave you in Fira with a cable car ticket our idea was to go back down before the rush. We caught the cable car down at about 11.00 and once again there was no queue for the cable car or the tender. Despite the published schedule, the cable cars run continuously when cruise ships are in port even in November.
In Mykonos our revised schedule was to be in port from 5pm-10pm. We arrived early and as many people were still at afternoon tea we decided not to wait until free tendering. When we got to the theatre the tender ticket was for the next number to be called so again it was almost straight onto the tender. After an hour we came back and again there were no queues for the tender.
There was an evening buffet on the evening we were docked in Mykonos which seemed pointless to me as the opening time was only from 7pm-8.30pm.
The seas were supposed to be rougher (I didn't feel it) for Dubrovnik so we docked instead of tendering. Shuttle buses were available for 6 Euros return.
SHOWS The fantasy show on the first night was good (hand shadows) as were the acrobats on the second night. Soloist singers and pianists do not interest us so the only other two shows we went to were those featuring the ship's singers and dancers. The first of these was pretty dire and we did not last too long before leaving. The second was slightly better and we managed to stick it out to the end. These production shows were not as good as the ones on X/RCI.
DISEMBAKATION We had already received our luggage tags but the time of leaving the ship was only announced in the Today sheet delivered whilst we were at our last dinner. That was OK for us but was leaving it a bit late for anyone who needed their tags changed to a different colour. There was no option offered allowing you to take your own suitcases off the ship. Guests were requested to leave their cabins by 8am and we were near the last of those leaving ship at 10.15. We were not given any option of staying on board for lunch as had been posted by some on CC. We then had our biggest delay as Costa had not paid for enough shuttle buses to Piazzale Roma and we had to stand in line for over 1 hour.
We then checked into the Hotel Arlecchino (same management as the Olimpia) next to Piazzale Roma for 2 nights. This hotel can also be recommended.
Just prior to our arrival in Venice it had just suffered the Acqua Alta. From our balcony we could see people wading through the flooded pavements outside St Marks square. By midday this had cleared and it was possible to walk the streets without wellies.
SUMMARY We paid £349 ($570) inc. taxes per person for this 7 day cruise only in a balcony cabin. This was about half the price advertised by any other UK, US or German travel agents. We always book in the last 2 months before departure (after the "final payment" date) to get the best discounts and this price met my target of £50 per night for a balcony cabin although this is getting harder to do with the current value of the £. Daily gratuities of 6.50 Euro per person are automatically added to your on board account. I consider the cruise value for money for what we paid. After the cruise my wife was surprised at what the brochure price was as she thought the experience one of a budget cruise line.
It is unlikely that we will sail Costa again. Costa is owned by Carnival and is not as penny pinching as MSC (Moneygrabbing Shipping Company?) but we just prefer the US style cruising of X/RCI to that offered by Costa and MSC in the Mediterranean. Less

Scott Bagus moved from musician to restaurant owner with the Curtis Club
Philip Poston
Although musician Scott Bagus had long entertained the notion of running a neighborhood bar or lounge, owning a restaurant wasn't on his radar. But then he heard that the Old Curtis Street Bar was available. "Someone said they thought I might be good for doing a build-out and for being a partner," he recalls. "It ended up being me." And today he's the owner of The Curtis Club. See also: The Curtis Club opening a very hot time -- complete with firefighters!
To get the Curtis Club off the ground, Bagus relied on skills he'd learned on his "meandering path" of a career, skills in construction honed after a decade as a musician. With the help of friends, this longtime Colorado resident pulled off a knock-out renovation of the former dive bar, handling everything from design to plumbing to tables.
Even chef Eric Johnson, who left the Flagstaff House to join the project, got in the act. "[Eric] was on his hands and knees building the kitchen with me," recalled Bagus. "We saved a lot of money by scouring used restaurant-supply places. A lot of chefs wouldn't have had the patience or physical skills to do that."
Find out what all that hard work by Bagus and Johnson has created when my review of the Curtis Club is posted here tomorrow.Follow @CafeWestword

Democrats Ask Drug Policy Office to Do More to Combat Opioid Epidemic
Twenty Democratic senators are asking the Office of National Drug Control Policy to do more to combat the opioid epidemic, according to the Associated Press.
Get personalized support for your family
The former presidents of Colombia, Brazil and Mexico declared the war on drugs a failure and called for a meaningful debate on alternatives, including more treatment for drug users and legalization, Reuters reported Feb. 11.
Drug prohibition has led to increased violence and crowded prisons but has failed to stem trafficking.
"The problem today in the U.S. is that narco-trafficking is a crime and so any politician is fearful of talking about narco-trafficking or talking about policies because they will be called soft," said former Colombian President Cesar Gaviria, who joined with former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso and former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo under the umbrella of the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy to call for a serious, international discussion on alternative anti-drug policies.
The United Nations is poised to hold meetings to draft a new drug policy for the next decade. The presidents' group called for a focus on treating users, decriminalizing marijuana, and investing in drug education.
"It will be almost impossible to solve Mexico's problems and other countries' problems without a more ample, comprehensive set of policies from the U.S. government," Cardoso said.

In this installment of turnstone's Small Talks series, several of the area's best and brightest startup founders at all phases of growth will share their experiences around launching and growing a new company. Learn what did and didn't work, and apply those tangible lessons to your own business, whether you've already started one, or are simply thinking about it.

Since then, Amber has curated several startup events that focus on connecting entrepreneurs on the fringe of the startup scene to the vast resources available in Atlanta. Amber recently launched Failurebox, which hosted StemAtl at Atlanta Tech Village, where students from Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Emory, Spelman, Morehouse, and Clark Atlanta University were able to tour ATV and connect with some of the most talented entrepreneurs in the city to discuss failure in an effort to provide real world lessons and avoid romanticizing the entrepreneurship experience.

There is a narrative out there — a very lazy one, mind you — that Alex Ovechkin cannot handle pressure.
That when the stage is the biggest, the lights are the brightest and the stakes are the highest, he chokes. That he's not Sidney Crosby or Jonathan Toews or even Justin Williams. That for all the goals he scores in the regular season, he just can't win.
It's why, according to his fiercest critics, that Ovechkin hasn't hoisted the Stanley Cup or captured an Olympic gold medal. And it's why some believed the Washington Capitals, who have yet to advance past the second-round since drafting the Russian sniper first overall in 2004, would crumble against the eighth-seeded Toronto Maple Leafs.
Lazy or not, the narrative is being written again this post-season after the Capitals lost 4-3 in overtime to the Leafs in Game 3 on Monday.
"Until we changed the narrative, that's going to be the question," Capitals defenceman Matt Niskanen said of the team's history of choking. "So it's going to be up to us to change the question."
It's not necessarily Ovechkin's fault that Washington is now down 2-1 in the best-of-seven series to the Leafs or that that Capitals once again lost in overtime. He wasn't on the ice when Tyler Bozak redirected a Nazem Kadri pass for the game-winner. He wasn't to blame.
For most of the game, Ovechkin did his part. On the second shot of the first period, he set up in his familiar spot at the top of the faceoff circle and one-timed a pass from Nicklas Backstrom that seemed to burn a hold through Leafs' goaltender Frederik Andersen's glove.
It was his second goal of the series. And for those counting at home, it was also his 84th point in 87 games. The reason Washington is trailing in this series is that Ovechkin was unable to pick up his 85th point.
"Great players like great stages," said Capitals head coach Barry Trotz. "I think those players just elevate. You look at his record in the playoffs. His point production in the playoffs can be matched up there against anybody. It's the stage. He's one of those players that likes the stage."
Three games in, not enough of his teammates seem to share that sentiment.
This was a game that Washington let slip through its fingers. After goals from Backstrom and Ovechkin, the Capitals stormed out to a 2-0 lead in the opening five minutes. With the score 3-1 in the second, they had a 5-on-3 power play that could have ended things right there.
Instead, the Capitals let the Leafs claw back.
"Just forget it and move forward," said Ovechkin. "Obviously, we're losing the series but it's not over yet. We should win this game, but we made a couple of mistakes with a couple of unlucky bounces. But that's the game. You move forward. The series goes to four wins. It's not going to be easy. It's a huge test for us."
It's a huge test for Ovechkin. Fair or not, he's wearing a label that Joe Thornton wore before him. For him to shed it, he will need help from his supporting cast that has abandoned him in the past.
Last year, Evgeny Kuznetsov went missing-in-action with just one goal and one assist in 12 playoff games. The year before, Backstrom had no goals and two assists in a seven-game loss to the New York Rangers in the conference semi-final.
Both Backstrom and Kuznetsov scored in Game 3, but for most of the game the best players on the ice were wearing blue-and-white. If it continues, it won't matter what Ovechkin does.
"Nobody said it was going to be easy to go to the second round," said Ovechkin. "It's the playoffs. Everybody understands that every mistake can (cause) you games. For them, it's a good experience to play those kind of games in the playoffs. They've played well obviously. We respect them. It's a battle."
For the most part, Ovechkin has been willing to battle. He scored a power play goal in Game 2 and had a chance to win that game on a breakaway in overtime. But he saved his best effort for Game 3.
Ovechkin was a beast. He gave Washington a 2-0 lead in the opening five minutes, finished the game with five shots and four hits and was a handful to cover, as Kadri found out when Ovechkin effortlessly tossed the Leafs centre to the ice to avoid a check.
"He's the best scoring forward in the game today," Leafs defenceman Connor Carrick said of Ovechkin, his former teammate. "He's still someone that draws a lot of attention. He's a dominant man."
Maybe so, but that's not the narrative being written after Game 3.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney Tuesday called reports from unnamed advisers that he is not considering Florida Senator Marco Rubio as a potential running mate "entirely false."
"I can't imagine who such people are, but I can tell you this: They know nothing about the vice presidential selection or evaluation process," Romney told reporters Tuesday evening. "The story was entirely false. Marco Rubio is being thoroughly vetted as part of our process."
Romney told Fox News that only he and long-time adviser Beth Myers know who is being seriously considered for the VP role. He said that not even his wife Ann Romney has been involved in the latest discussions concerning his potential No.2 pick.
Rubio did not seem ruffled regarding yesterday's misreported flap about him no longer being a contender for running with Romney.

This easy Baked Eggplant Parmesan is lighter than the original, fried meal, and is every bit as delicious!
The grass is green again, flowers are blooming, and the vegetable section at the market is beginning to look healthier and more vibrant. That's right- it's spring! It's time to put away that slow cooker, and remember how to use your vegetables in something other than soup. One veggie-centric recipe I love devouring is Baked Eggplant Parmesan. Fairly often, this dish is served with fried eggplant and more cheese than vegetables. I prefer to bake the eggplant, use a little less cheese, and throw in a few extra veggies.
In a hurry? Jump to the recipe!
Making Baked Eggplant Parmesan
To prepare this tasty Italian casserole, start by peeling and slicing your eggplant. Honestly, I sometimes skip the peeling, because I suffer from kitchen laziness. It's a terrible condition. If you too suffer from kitchen laziness, you may find yourself serving your eggplant with the skin on. However, on occasion you'll end up with tough eggplant skin, and you'll regret your laziness. It's a risk.
Next, you need to sweat the eggplant. As hilarious as it would be, this doesn't involve making the vegetables run around the park, or even cranking the heat up in your house. Instead, you sprinkle salt on your eggplant, set it in a colander with a towel over it, set something heavy on top (last time I used a pineapple– use whatever is nearby), and let the water drain out. Normally my laziness would tempt me to skip this step, but since we're baking the eggplant, it really does need to be a little drier than it is naturally. After the eggplant dries out a little, you'll coat it in breadcrumbs,* bake it, and then layer tomato sauce, extra fresh diced veggies, cheese, and the eggplant. Bake again until it's all cooked and melted, and serve with a heaping bowl of pasta.
Note: I sometimes substitute ground cornmeal for breadcrumbs, because it's easier to find cornmeal without additives and strange ingredients. I like the taste of the cornmeal coating, and it's a nice alterative to breadcrumbs if you don't have any stocked in your pantry (and don't want to make your own).
Still hungry? Try these veggie-centric meals:
Baked Eggplant Parmesan
- 1 large eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced (peeling recommended but optional)
- 1/2 TB salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- ~1 cup breadcrumbs (or sub cornmeal)
- 28oz jar tomato sauce (4 cups tomato sauce)
- 1 TB olive oil, plus more to drizzle over pasta
- •8-10 fresh basil leaves, chopped (or sub 2-3 tsp dried basil)
- 1 onion, diced
- ~8oz mozzarella (fresh preferred, either sliced or shredded. Use more or less as desired)
- ~4oz parmesan (grated)
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 8 oz angel hair pasta (or more if desired)
Lightly salt both sides of eggplant slices, and layer slices in a colander. Set colander in the sink, cover with a towel or paper towels, and set something heavy on top (like a glass mixing bowl). Let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to an hour).
Preheat oven to 350 F and line 2 baking sheets with foil. Brush or spray foil with oil. One at a time, dip eggplant slices in egg and then in breadcrumbs (coat both sides). Set eggplant in single layer on baking sheets, and bake 6-7 minutes, flip, and bake 6-7 more minutes (12-14 minutes total).
While eggplant is baking, pour half the tomato sauce in a 9"x9" pan (or small casserole dish). Drizzle about 1 TB oil on top of sauce, and sprinkle with half the herbs. Layer all the onions (and all the bell pepper, if using) on top of tomato mixture. Top with half mozzarella.
When eggplant is finished, layer half the eggplant on top of cheese. Add remaining tomato sauce and mozzarella. Top with remaining eggplant, all the parmesan, and remaining herbs.
Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes, until veggies are cooked through and cheese is melted.
Cook pasta while the Eggplant Parmesan is baking, and toss pasta with olive oil before serving.

Paul Hemmer named Premier Citizen
Premier Citizens exemplify residents who go above and beyond to enhance our community. They are citizens who further the progress of the tri-states through their time, talent, and dedication.
This quarter's Premier Citizen of the Tri-States is Paul Hemmer.
Paul Hemmer enjoyed a 50 year career in broadcasting that included 34 years as the morning host on WDBQ. In January of 2010 he retired from broadcasting and three months later became Executive Director of the Grand Opera House. Paul came to the Grand during a time of need, and through excellent leadership, was able to financially stabilize and revitalize the theater as a whole. The quality of performances is perhaps the best the Grand has seen. Paul has brought vitality and excitement back to theater in Dubuque.
During his broadcast career he also led a 10 piece swing band that performed ballrooms, clubs and parties in a 200 mile radius of Dubuque. He's written and produced four original musical comedies, scored more than 70 orchestrations for pops concerts by the Dubuque Symphony and a half dozen other orchestras, and operated a jazz club, "Duke's Place" for three years.
He's held leadership positions in many Dubuque organizations including Salvation Army, Rotary Club, Dubuque Musicians Association, Dubuque Arts Council and the Chamber Ambassadors. In 1976 he became the youngest person to be named First Citizen by the Telegraph Herald. Paul has been happily married to Jan for 42 years and has two married children and one grandchild. Premier Bank is proud to donate $500 in Paul's name to the Grand Opera House.

Ratings for Dr. Barbara Kellner
I was a patient of Dr. Kellner for several years. I am a female suffering from hairloss. It took Dr. Kellner a few years to convince me to use Propecia and now doing so for almost two years (after her convincing), I can not find a doctor who will prescribe it for me. She advised me that she will no longer be practicing in this field, which is fine, but now I can't find a doctor who will allow me to continue using the Propecia (which is working). I feel VERY much left high and dry and very stressed out about this. Does anyone know of a doctor who will prescribe this medication to women?
Dr. Kellner is a great doctor, and she works very efficiently with her nurse, making each appointment quick yet thorough. The staff are accommodating and usually quite friendly. I've never felt rushed - its a busy clinic and staying on time for appointments is not easy. It's too bad she is now retiring from her practice as I was so happy to have found an excellent dermatologist.
Barb Kellner is simply the finest medical professional that I have ever encountered, in any specialty. She saved my life in 1997, and has given me wonderful ongoing attention ever since. Well worth the long trips I make to see her. Pat.
Barb saved my life. I rate her at the very top of all medical professionals that I have ever visited. Wonderful, wonderful!!
I thank GOD for Dr. Kellner she is a sweetheart, and I've been through a rough time - with skin cancer and a rare syndrome - and she will hold my hand when I'm having a cry etc. And we have a good laugh too! She is SO fast it's crazy! But she knows her stuff! And I don't know where I would be if she hadn't referred me to a Moh's Surgeon. I've even talked to her on the phone - seeing how I was after a treatment! Shame about the smaller office, and 1 of her stalwarts has left! Which is a shame as the office seemed to go smoother! But they are all lovely to myself and my boys!
I like going to this office. It has been the best run of all the medical clinics I go to and I go to a lot. Really good people, cheerful, efficient folks, always caring. Have gone out of their way many times over the years. Dr. Kellner is a lovely doctor, very knowledgeable, she's great.
she is not very caring. doesn't spend any time with patients and just runs in & out of the offices a vet spend more time with patients. she is not thourough either.
Very helpful and good dermatologist.Willing to listen to you and resolve your problems.
Dr. Kellner is a wonderful doctor. Not only does she always carry a smile with her, she is also very knowledgeagle and caring. I feel that one of the mistakes that many doctors make is the failure to incorporate contextual information into treatment plans. This however, was not a problem with Dr. Kellner. When I told her that I didn't like the cream that she gave me as it was too greasy, she immediately switched my cream to one that was not greasy. I feel that this is really important as I wasn't applying the greasy cream as often as was needed due to how uncomfortable it felt and because it made my skin looked bad. Just the simple act of switching the cream made me much more compliant to my treatment plan and I quickly recovered. As an added bonus, all her staff are really nice as well. They always try to fit me into Dr. Kellner's busy schedule ASAP.
I met Dr. Kellner when I was in hospital and after, I went to her office for several apts. I am grateful for her assertive, outstanding and professional investigation and management of my severe condition. I appreciated her patience, kindness and caring. She relieved my pain and stress, and transmitted confidence to me. I improved and recovered, thanks to Dr. Kellner. I have worked in health care for many years and give this specialist my highest recommendation.
