Transatlantic Crossing on the Noordam: Noordam Cruise Review by fuzzywuzzy
Overall Member Rating
Transatlantic Crossing on the Noordam
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
We had arranged for a transfer with RomeCabs to pick us up at our apartment, the Crown Orsetto on the Piazza Navona. We then proceeded to the next pickup point where we had arranged for another couple from CruiceCritic to share the ride to the cruiseport.
This was the easiest and most efficient embarkation we have ever experienced. It took only about 10 minutes to walk into the terminal where we filled out our health form, went straight to counter where they checked us in with our passports, took our picture and we were whistled over to the photographer and then out the door to the awaiting More magnificent ship. We walked straight up the gangway where we were greeted with the smiling faces of the crew and one says, "Welcome home"! That was so exciting. So we presented our ship card to be scanned and there we were- onboard! No lineups, no congestion. Quick and easy. This was about 1:00 pm.
We went up to the fifth level to our cabin which was ready for us. We immediately met our cabin steward. The cabin was clean and lovely with a verandah. It was nice to chat with our cabin steward who asked us if everything was OK or if we needed anything. That was a nice touch as we had not had that consideration on other cruises. He was in no hurry to leave and we chatted about the cruise and our cabin. I said we had no complaints and that everything seemed in order. There were two stewards but we didn't meet his partner until the next day. They always had fresh ice in our bucket every day and kept the cabin clean.
Sailaway was at 5:00 p.m. after muster drill at 4:00 which went very smoothly. Everyone seemed to take it quite seriously and no life jackets are worn any longer for the drill.
That night being Halloween a few passengers dressed up with costumes. I also had dressed up a little. It was fun and people that night went to the Monster Ball in the Queen's Lounge.
I found the Noordam to be on par with Eurodam but in our opinion we liked the Eurodam a touch better. I missed the Tamarind restaurant and Silk Den.
Most of the flower arrangements on the Noordam were very small and not impressive. I'm not sure if HAL has cut back on flowers on all their ships but this ship had the least we have seen on other HAL cruises. Thankfully they still had the lovely orchids in the Lido buffet dining area and in the public washrooms.
We were very happy with our verandah cabin on the 5th level. There was ample room and storage. We had a mini fridge which was stocked but of course we didn't use these items as you are charged. The bathroom had a tub and shower which was very clean with toiletries.
The beds are so comfortable. I love their bedding and their beds. The only think lacking was the sound on the TV. The speakers were shot. I put this in my survey for HAL. It's time to upgrade their TV's.
We ordered room service for breakfast a few times and it was always right on time and food was hot. The trays were very nicely arranged with a small vase of flowers.
Our cabin stewards were always friendly and did remember our names every time we saw them.
We opted for open dining on this cruise. We usually take the late seating but felt that it's just too late for us as then we miss most of the shows because we are too tired. We enjoyed open seating. Sometimes we sat at a table of six or eight and sometimes we sat alone for privacy.
The food was great. Service was excellent of course. The servers work so hard to bring you your food in a timely manner. The down side to open seating is that you don't connect with any particular server. The only entre I found a bit lacking was the surf and turf. The meat was not up to par and a bit stringy or chewy. It wasn't the best beef I've had in the past. Desserts were delicious. I especially love their Tiramisu. Yummmm. My husband always chose the chocolate brownie stack or something like that.
PINNACLE GRILL - $25.00 each
I can't say enough about this place for fine dining experience. It was absolutely lovely and food was delicious!! Very rich though. Service is wonderful and the atmosphere as well.
We made our reservations for our first formal night. We did this the afternoon we boarded the ship so we had a good selection of times. Our meal consisted of lobster bisque, ceaser salad prepared at our table, lobster tail, whipped potatoes, creamed spinach. SOOOO good. I had the Crème Brulee for dessert. Absolutely delicious. My DH had a magnificent shrimp cocktail. Salmon – a huge portion. We rolled out of there.
We noted that there were no longer the days of the week floor mats in the elevators! I'm not sure if this has been discontinued on every ship or just this one. I don't care but it was noteworthy.
Note that age demographic was quite elderly. We are "baby boomers" and felt like the babies on the ship which was great mind you. But I felt like we were on a floating retirement home. There were scooters, walkers, wheelchairs, etc. I know that is great that they can travel at that age but I think we will be trying a different cruiseline next time. One man celebrated his 100th birthday onboard. We're not ready for the retirement home yet….I think we saw a total of TWO young children the whole time on the ship. I felt sorry for them.
Other people have stated on trip reviews that they were bored on a TA. How in the world can anyone be bored on a ship? There are tons of activities all day long to do. I wanted to be in four places at once.
There are lots of activities every day onboard. I went to computer workshops quite often and these were always full to overflowing. Very informative. We played Team Trivia Challenge which was fun. The days were packed with things to do if you wished or you can lounge by the pools and hot tubs or on the promenade deck among many other things. There were seminars, casino, card games, bingo, dancing lessons, pools and hot tubs, movies, etc.
There were less Happy Hours than we have experienced in the past. There was a Happy Hour at the Ocean Bar at 4:00 p.m. and at 10:00 p.m. in Crow's Nest. We find that those times were not convenient. We did eventually enjoy Happy Hour in the Ocean Bar but never made it to the Crow's Nest at that late time.
We liked the drinks prepared onboard but 15% was added as a gratuity. Happy hour now consists of one drink at regular price and the second for a dollar plus gratuity. I found their mixed drinks to be consistently delicious. I especially love the Mojito and the gin martinis.
There were no great sales for internet as the cruise progressed. There were some specials for the spa but still pricey.
We enjoyed the Mexican buffet at the Lido poolside and the burgers. Quite often there would be live entertainment here – Greg, the guitar player. Very nice.
REMEMBRANCE DAY and a MEMORIAL SERVICE
Remembrance day/Veterans' Day occurred while we were sailing and it was VERY nice that the Captain had a minute of silence at 11:00 a.m. followed by the reading of " In Flanders Fields" over the P.A. That was very appreciated and a good thing to do.
There was also a Memorial service held in the theatre the morning of Nov. 14th for the Filippino crew and staff due to the terrible storm disaster in the Philippines this week. The minister said a few comforting words and prayer as well as the Captain. It was very emotional and touching.
Passengers were invited to watch from the balcony. There were a few guests near me who were crying.
A fund was also set up so that you could donate to help the victims of the devastating typhoon.
We found the HAL singers and dancers to be amazing! The shows were great especially the new production called DROOM. WOW!! The costumes were beautiful.
Craig and the HAL Cats were really good as well as Nicky and the HAL Cats. Glen – solo guitarist. Piano bar – Lee.
Adagio – We were not impressed with them this time. Their sets were too short and they seemed rather lack lustre or unenthused. No personality. Every time we sat down to listen, they would leave within about five minutes for a break.
We especially loved the award winning classic pianist, Tomono Kawamura. Her talent is unbelieveable!! Magnificent piano playing.
We also really enjoyed the singer Toni Warne from England. Her singing is amazing. She sang a medley of Barbara Streisand songs as well as some songs sung by Celine Dion. She had a powerful voice not unlike Barbara Streisand! She was excellent. The ship was really rolling that night due to heavy swells on the ocean but she managed to keep her balance as best she could.
WEATHER and PORTS OF CALL:
The weather in the Mediterranean was absolutely beautiful from Rome right over to the Azores.
Our first stop was at Alicante, Spain. We absolutely love Alicante and all the stops in Spain. We find the prices to be much better here than in Rome as well. We left the ship early in the morning to make our way to the castle Castel Santa Barbara since we had missed going up to this castle the last time we were here. So we knew where we were going and walked along the beach boardwalk to the walkway over the big street. We approached the doors that are made into the side of the cliff. A sign indicated that it didn't open until 10:00 a.m. Be mindful of this. It was 9:00 a.m. when we arrived there so we had to go back up the street to find a restaurant for a coffee and maybe I could hook up to WiFi.
We found a McDonald's but the WiFi did NOT work. This was very frustrating. BUT they did serve BEER!! LOL. So my hubby came back with TWO cervezas. Hmmmm. Oh well, we are on vacation. We put in time and then went back to the castle entrance only to find a lineup!! Sigh. At 10:00 we were admitted where we paid the entrance fee. It was 2.50 euros each. We then proceeded down a long corridor into the mountain. OK….don't feel claustrophobic…..where we made our way to elevators. The people were clumped up here waiting for the one elevator to take people up and down. OK…..don't feel claustrophobic here…….gulp. Everthing is stainless steel and well lit. No, you are not in the dark. LOL. The lift is about 900 ft and took only about 30 seconds.
Finally it was our turn and up we went. This place is AMAZING!! The views from up here are stunning!! The castle is stunning – you can explore the stonework and the original cavernous rooms, etc. Some of it has been turned into a museum with different artifacts on display. We wandered around and took lots of pics. There was a little outside food and drink place where we sat and had a couple of cold beers. There were a few vendors as well. We tried to visualize the way it would have been a thousand years ago.
After awhile we headed back down and wandered into the old part of Alicante making our way to the lovely little traffic-free streets. So much to see and so little time. We sat on the steps at a small bar and enjoyed a beer with the locals. It was great.
Nov. 3 – Malaga, Spain
The weather couldn't have been better. Warm and sunny. We were off the ship first thing in the morning. Wandered over to Roman ruins near the base of the castle where they have uncovered an ancient amphitheatre at its base. We went over to Cathedral de Malaga…WOW!! This cathedral is beautiful. It is massive with magnificent carvings in marble. The choir area is breathtaking with intricately carved solid wood. Words can't do it justice. We participated in the Mass that morning. It was quite a moving experience.
We really enjoy Malaga to wander the quaint streets lined with orange trees. The park area is beautiful too with walkways lined with palms and tropicals.
Nov. 4 – Cadiz, Spain
This dock is located right in town. At 10:00 am we were off the ship and wandering in a beautiful tropical tree garden. Some of the trees are magnificent and huge. They looked like Magnolia tree leaves but not sure if that is what they are. If so, when they bloom it would be awesome. We had no particular plans here for a tour as we just wanted to explore on our own. We followed the sea wall. Lovely walkway and stumbled upon the botanical gardens. There were tall fully sculpted cedar trees here that were the most gorgeous I have ever seen. They had to be at least 40 ft. tall but fully pruned and so thick with foliage you couldn't push your finger through it. There were also fountains everywhere with flowering bougainvillea and Angel Trumpet trees. The pathways meander through the tall palms and gardens. So lovely. Parrots sing in the treetops.
We walked out to the castle/fort on a causeway of stone over low tide. That was beautiful but alas the fort wasn't open because it was a Monday. This walkway is very intriguing as all the stones below the causeway were exposed due to the low tide. Everything seemed original.
We found our way to an open air market which is the oldest market in Spain! Mercado Central. We stopped and I had a Sangria. Lovely. There are many local vendors selling produce, meats, cheeses and OLIVES to name a few!! OK…..these are the BEST olives I have ever tasted in my life!! They are delicious. There were pails and large containers of different kinds that are marinated in different ways with garlic, etc. We bought a small container to take back to our cabin to eat with rolls and Spanish wine!! Ahhhhhh…..heavenly. The prices are good and no tax!!
We enjoyed wandering the narrow streets and tasting the local flavours, enjoying the ambiance. We each bought giant cream puffs for one euro each!! Absolutely delicious.
Back onboard by 3:45. Sailaway was about 5:00 pm. Now we were heading to the Azores. The sea is still very calm. We stayed on our verandah to watch the sunset and enjoyed our olives from Cadiz and rolls that Ken had gone to get at the Lido buffet along with our Spanish wine and cheeses. Yummy.
HAL provided a BBQ at the Lido pool area with all Mediterranean dishes – olives, couscous, avocado and chicken, shish kabobs, steak, lamb, fried feta cheese, etc. It was very good. Live music.
Two days at sea and arrive at the Azores.
Nov. 7th – Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Azores
Raining and cloudy, cool. The first rain we have experienced on our trip.
We had arranged a tour through the Cruise Critic people on the Roll Call. Three vans awaited us after disembarking. We were in one van of 7 with a guide. (Carlos from Adventure Tours). Our guide was awesome. He explained everything to us and was obviously very proud of his island. We had to decide if we wanted to go up into the mountains since it was very misty and foggy up there but we all decided that yes we should go anyway.
This island is lovely and verdant!! Up in the mountains it was as lush as Hawaii with beautiful tall fern trees and palms and lush foliage. Some of the roadways are lined solid with wild hydrangea and azaleas. The blooms were past their prime at this time of year but the guide was telling us how gorgeous it is when they are in full bloom. One can only imagine. It would be breathtaking. Some flower heads were the size of basketballs.
Our guide took us to a tiny little lake called Canary Lake in the hills and woods that is surrounded with azaleas. We walked down the path a bit so he could show us the magnificent moss that grows everywhere. We pushed against the moss wall beside the road and my hand sunk in about TWO FEET – solid moss!!! They obviously have a temperate and wet climate and it was still lightly raining. Unfortunately because of the mist we could not see and experience the magnificent views. Our guide felt so bad and was very apologetic but there was nothing to be done. That's the weather. He was so disappointed that we were missing the fabulous views of the lakes in the volcanic craters.
We drove through agricultural areas of dairy cows in the fields – very picturesque with green fields of all shades surrounded with ancient rock hedgerows covered in moss. It looked like something you would probably see in Ireland. There were little rainbows popping up from the rain and the sun that was finally starting to shine. So lovely.
We went to the hot springs. This place is fantastic. We saw the most gorgeous fern trees! It was raining and misty but so worth the visit to see this beautiful spot. This area is a lush tropical rainforest. There were also hydrangea bushes around the parking lot that were taller than 6 feet with huge flower heads. I would love to come here when they are blooming and at their peak. The flowers are so thick that you can't see the greenery during their peak time according to Carlos.
We stopped at a quaint town called Ribeira Grande where Carlos took us to a small liquour store to sample different flavoured brandy. We bought Passion Fruit brandy liqueur. It is fabulous. It was 12 euros for a litre. In fact, as I write this, I'm having a drink of it right now. Heavy in the suitcase but worth it. Takes me back.
Drove back to the town of Ponta Delgada but didn't have time to walk around. Our guide took us to a supermarket where we could buy wine or whatever we needed. The prices seemed very low. We bought some of their local tea as this is the only area in Europe to grow tea.
Carlos drove us around town pointing out different areas of interest. It seemed like a lovely quaint town with cobblestone streets and many stores. We then had to go back to the ship.
We were very impressed with the Azores and would love to go back.
Friday, Nov. 8th – At sea and beginning our TA.
The next days we spent enjoying the activities of the ship – Team Trivia challenge, computer workshops, cooking demonstrations, flower arranging, spa treatments, etc.
We averaged about 15 kts and about 400 n.m. per day. Ocean was relatively calm except for one thunderstorm the night of the dessert extravaganza. This storm was awesome with blinding lightning, rain and thunder. The captain changed our course a little to avoid the worst of it. I didn't really notice the ship rolling more though so there must not have been strong winds.
The ocean changed by the day – sometimes larger swells than other days and sometimes more choppy. The weather was mostly cloudy and rainy. As we travelled it became warmer and nicer. By Tuesday, Nov. 12th it was 75 F at 8:25 in the morning and the sun was shining.
We have travelled 3748 n.m. from Azores at 15.6 kts. 5420 feet deep at this point in time.
Nov. 12 the ship was really rocking due to high winds. We are nearing Florida and the ship was really rolling all night.
We never did see any ocean life such as whales blowing or anything jumping other than a few flying fish.
Nov. 15th – Ft. Lauderdale
Received our accounts – gulp. Surprising how things add up. $11.00 pp per day for tips are added on as well. Arrived right on time. Docked at 6:00 a.m. We had been moving our clocks back an hour while crossing the ocean. That was neat to gain an hour almost every day or two.
Our luggage had been taken away in the night as all big suitcases have to be put out in the hallway by 2:00 a.m.
Disembarkation went fairly smoothly except for a backlog of people in the terminal at Immigration/Customs. We waited about ¾ of an hour in line in the terminal to get through.
I had purchased the direct transfer by HAL to the airport. Big mistake !! $20.00 each and we waited and waited for the coach to fill with passengers. Come to find out we could have just jumped in a taxi for $16.00 total and been to the airport in 10 or 15 minutes!! Live and learn.
Everything went smoothly at the airport. Flight on time to Detroit. Arrived in only 2 hours after lifting off in Ft. Lauderdale. We made amazing time. From Detroit we were picked up by my son-in-law and driven home to Ontario.
Can hardly wait for our next cruise!! We were bumped up to Mariner 3 on this cruise. Less

Are These The Healthiest Hotel Cookies in New York?
By Terry Trucco
When Antonio Rotolo, Executive Chef at ONE UN New York, was asked to come up with a culinary creation to salute the United Nation's International Year of Quinoa, he heeded the advice of Jerry Seinfeld in The Dinner Party episode – he looked to the cookie.
The quinoa cookie, to be precise – a soft, chewy confection he concocted with dried cherries, coconut, oats and quinoa, the Andean food staple anointed by the UN as 2013's go-to grain.
Quinoa, it seems, is everywhere, from salads and side dishes to nearly everything stocked by Whole Foods. Still, you don't come across quinoa cookies every day. I stopped by One UN to meet Chef Rotolo and sample what may be the smartest hotel cookie in town. (more…)

Back to Franklin Facts homepage.
Back to TV12
The number one snowmaking machine is the atmosphere. But since Mother Nature doesn't
always oblige, we've figured out artificial ways to make snow.
As you might suspect, water is the raw material. The water is pumped into a specialized
nozzle, or "snowgun," where it collides with highly pressurized air. The air shatters
the stream of water into tiny, tiny droplets, and then launches the droplets high into
the air. As the pressurized air expands, it cools, helping to start the droplets
freezing. They finish freezing in the air and fall as snow.
It takes a lot of water to make snow. For example, to cover an area the size of a
football field with a foot of snow would take the water needed to fill ten backyard
pools. Now there's a thought to keep winter alive even as we head back into the
warm season.
Today's our last day here in the mountains. I'd like to thank my producer Eleanor
Ingersoll, videographer and digital editor Don Francisco, and the folks here at
Blue Mountain Ski Area for their help with this series. I'm Dr. Jon Nese,
I'll see you again next Monday from back in the warmer confines of The Franklin Institute.

"He lives at No. 41 whitethorn Gardens," said the police officer.
At this moment a man's face rose above the whitethorn hedge.
When she reached the end of whitethorn Gardens she turned to the right along the sea front.
At the bottom of the packet was a faded sprig of whitethorn.
He was sick a long time, and there was a whitethorn tree out in the field, and he'd go and lie under it for shade from the sun.
Tom and Dr. whitethorn carried the injured boy into the library.
Even when the whitethorn stands dismayed, the harebell still sheets many a slope and shelving bank with its deep-dyed blue.
When they reached 41 whitethorn Gardens, she opened the gate, and walked up to the house rapidly.
She builds in whitethorn, blackthorn, and furze-bushes; very rarely in trees.
Saddle the wild filly—meet me under the whitethorn bush at the end of the lawn, and we'll both leave him for ever.

COMPANIES will have to report how many women they employ and how much they earn compared with their male colleagues as part of the federal government's attempt to close the gender pay gap.
From April businesses with more than 100 staff will also have to detail what flexible working arrangements they offer and how many staff take them up.
The Minister for the Status of Women, Julie Collins, said the ruling would ''go a long way to promoting the cultural change necessary to create true gender equality in our workplaces''.
Business representatives contested aspects of the legislation, and the opposition accused the government of adding to red tape.
The opposition's spokeswoman, Michaelia Cash, said the requirements would ''divert the attention of employers away from efforts to implement measures to promote workplace equality to ensure they are compliant with the procedural requirements''.
The director of workplace relations for the Australian Industry Group, Peter Nolan, said: ''There is so much that they have to comply with at the moment that we see this as an added burden, and that would be an adverse effect.''
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and organisations representing mining and construction were also sceptical about the legislation.
The information provided by companies will not necessarily be made public, though the government will use it to provide snapshots of the position of women workers across different industries. Companies that do not comply will not be able to apply for government funding or contracts.
The Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, said the changes would ''provide a solid foundation for improving gender equality in employment and in the workplace''.

Many people don't realize the extent of the preparations involved when the President of the United States makes a visit to a local community. A raft of Secret Service personnel check out every building along the route he will travel and near the place he will be appearing. They go over each building with a fine tooth comb from roof to basement in their efforts to prepare for his safety. We often refer to them as "advance persons." They work invisibly behind the scenes to make sure that everything is ready for the big event that is about to take place.
In today's Gospel we encounter such an "advance man." However, he's not a member of the Secret Service. He's not preparing for a visit from a head of state. He's not checking out parade routes to assure their safety. He is telling us to get ready for a visit from the most important person in human history. His name is ...

News reports in the Indonesian National News Agency Antara and a confirmation by a representative of Batavia Air in Hangzhou have confirmed the cancellations that will disrupt the travel plans of thousands of passengers already holding confirmed tickets on the proposed new flight service.
Flights have been cancelled through February 4, 2013, with further announcements expected in the interim.
Batavia Air has had an established schedule between Jakarta and Guangzhou. In January 2012, Batavia Air formally applied for permission to open a new route between Bali and Hangzhou to the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation.
The Commercial Director of Batavia Air, Sukirno Sukrana, told the press that his company has yet to receive a formal response to their application to fly the new route with Airbus A320-200 aircraft configured with 220 economy seats.
Meanwhile, representatives for the Indonesia Ministry of Transportation say the blame for the delay in responding to Batavia Air's permit request rests with the Chinese government.
Djoko Murjatmodjo, spokesman for the Ministry of Transportation, said: "Based on the explanation received (from the Chinese government), there are several documents which must still be submitted by Batavia Air."
Batavia Air's plans are to fly three times each week between Bali and Hangzhou.

Does anyone know the name of Joe Hundred Guy's butler? -- Peter Pantalones 17:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- He was never given a name. -- MuppetDude 18:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- I was only wondering because he seems to be one of the very few Fat Blue Live Hands Muppets. I guess if he didn't appear often enough to warrant his own name, he doesn't need a page, either. --Peter Pantalones 18:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know about that. If the T-Shirt Salesman gets a page, why not the butler? And yeah, I'd been debating whether we even *need* a seperate Fat Blue with Live Hands page (I'mn listing the live hand versions of Guy Smiley-Type on the same page for now, while they're different enough from the main one in that the fabric color appears to have been altered slightly and they have interchangeable noses, so far I've only found three examples (Monty, Joe Hundred Guy, and one of the carolers from Elmo's World: Happy Holidays). Though with the butler, Ferlinghetti Donizetti, Grand High Triangle Lover, and I *think* Countess Von Backwards' Mother, that makes four, so I guess that's enough for Fat Blue Live Hand. I'd actually like to figure out another way of arranging the Anything Muppet pattern pages, once we get more pictures filled, using the gallery, so the variations on the type can be more easily compared, rather than using just one character example. --Andrew, Aleal 18:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Author's note: I wrote this story as a children's book but haven't gotten around to publishing it. It is Christmas Eve and I like the story. I hope you do too.
The three men trudged across the desert drawn by a power beyond their ability to explain. All they knew with certainty was their hearts were tugging them to follow the bright star that lit the heavens, and their minds had no power to stop it. Their paths had accidentally converged early in the morning and without a word, they had joined together bent on a common mission.
Each man hailed from far-flung reaches of the empire, but felt as close as brothers as soon as they realized they followed the same course. As dusk colored the sky purple and red, the star that shone brightly during the day became a beacon nearly as bright as the sun as night fell — drawing the men forward.
They crested a hill and a small barn presented itself to them. The beam of light emanating from the star seemed focused on this simple manger. Around it milled dozens of animals, some wild, staring intently into the shadows of the humble structure. A cat slid silently through the shadows outside the beam of light that came from the star.
A conversation ensued among the men. "Surely this can't be the place we've come all this way to see," said one.
"A barn?" asked the other incredulously.
"The King of Kings born in a manger," said the third, shaking his head. "All I know is my heart tells me it is true." They all nodded in agreement and with that they descended the hill to the manger.
Now it just so happened that in the corner of the manger a family of mice had been born that same day. The little mouselings huddled close to their mother for warmth as she watched the animals outside of the barn. One of her babies popped his head up and said loudly, "What's going on out there, Mama?"
"Shh," she scolded as she watched the other animals warily. "You don't want to draw attention." She lovingly eyed her little boy, not quite believing that his eyes were open for one so young. He was smooth and pink, without so much as hair anywhere on his tiny body. Well, she thought, it seems to be a day for miracles. After all, just yesterday she herself could neither talk nor mount a coherent thought.
The little mouse crawled up on his mother's belly and watched the scene being played out before him. Three men were reverently offering fine gifts to a baby lying in a crib made of straw. Beside the baby a man and woman lovingly watched the proceedings and nodded as each man approached to kneel before the child and offer a gift.
"What's going on out there, Mama?" the little mouse asked again.
"A king has been born today." she replied.
"Are those men sure they got the right kid? I was born today, too."
Mama Mouse laughed at this outburst. She watched as a young boy approached the swaddling child and began to cry because he didn't have a gift for the child. He offered the only possession he had and the woman nodded her approval. The boy began to play his drum.
Suddenly the cat lunged into the barn and appeared directly in front of the mouse family. Its eyes were ablaze with the light from the star, its ears were laid back tightly against its head, and its fangs glistened with saliva. One paw, claws distended dangerously, stood ready to swipe the mice off the face of the Earth.
For their part, the mice felt nothing. No terror, no instinct to run — nothing. On a normal night a normal mouse might have died from the fright of a cat with death in its eyes, but these were no normal mice. And this was no normal night.
Outside, the drum played. Ba rump abump bump. The cat turned to listen. Ba rump abump bum bump arump bum. Its eyelids drooped noticeably and it dropped its killer paw to the dirt and retracted its deadly claws. Bump arump bum. A low purr from deep inside it began and then became louder. The cat lost all interest in the mice and walked out to lie down in the light of the brightest star to ever shine. And the drum beat. Ba rump abump bum, rump abump bum, rumpa bump bum. The cat purred.
The little mouse, not knowing how close he had been to death, watched intently.
"Mama," he cried. "I have nothing as special to give the king as those men with their fine oils. I can't even play a drum. But Mama, I want to present the baby with a gift."
The Mama mouse smiled at her special baby and spoke, "My son, this king requires no special gift. What you have is all you need to give."
The little mouse thought about that for a moment and said, "Thank you, Mama."
He fell off his mother's belly, rather than hopped as he was still quite young, and quickly moved a little closer to the baby king. He moved again, scurrying as all mice do, a little closer to the boy. When the parents of the child noticed the hairless creature creeping toward their child they recoiled — but just for a second. The little mouse stopped again and looked up at the mother of the child. She nodded.
He scampered up the hay that made the crib and slowly walked along the soft belly of the king. He delicately crawled up onto the boy's face and stood triumphantly on his tiny nose. The baby mouse's little black eyes looked into the eyes of the king. And the King of King's eyes strained, then crossed and focused on the mouse. A gurgle of happiness emitted from the boy's throat.
The mouse, sensing the love from the boy, spread his little legs as wide as they would reach and hugged him as hard as he could. He could barely touch each side of the baby's nose, but he hugged with all of his might just the same. He hoped upon hope that the baby could feel his love.
The baby tried to touch the mouse, but his arms couldn't quite reach him. He tried again and finally ran his fingers down the slender body of the baby mouse. And the mouse planted a huge kiss right on the baby's nose.
The mouse, feeling that his gift had been received, left the crib. He rejoined his mother in the corner of the manger. "I gave him my gift, Mama," said the mouse.
"I know, my son. And I think you've learned your first lesson. The finest gift you can give is your heart and all of the love that it holds."
The little mouse was so pleased with his gift that he ran to each of his sleeping brothers and sisters and gave each a hug and a kiss. He ran out to the wise men who had come with material gifts for the boy and kissed each one as they slept. He even kissed the purring cat.
His mother laughed at his antics, and when he returned she kissed him just to make it even all around. The light of the star shone in his black eyes, and she was proud of her little boy.
She eyed the scene in the barnyard. The men, the animals and the cat joined in brotherhood to give love to a child — and each other. She sighed and thought about the miracles of the day. Then she eyed the cat again, thought about tomorrow, and said to her little mouse-king, "We need to move our family."
And they did.

Pregnant inmates in labor forced to travel to give birth
Expectant mothers incarcerated at the Indiana Women's Prison are being forced to hit the road to give birth. 13 Investigates has discovered a new policy that sends women in labor nearly an hour away to deliver.
The change comes as the county-owned hospital refuses the moms because of a cut in pay.
In his mother's arms, baby Ayden awakens to a new day behind barbed wire at the Indiana Women's Prison. Ayden was born 12 weeks ago at Wishard Hospital, just 20 minutes away.
"I got over here on a Thursday, and I delivered on that next Tuesday. I barely made it over here," said Ayden's mother, Tequilla Wright.
Pregnant and locked up for possession of methamphetamine, Wright is one of the 60 or more women every year who give birth as inmates.
For years, mothers behind bars delivered their babies at Wishard. But 13 Investigates has learned the inmates are no longer welcomed by the county-owned hospital.
"They no longer wished to be our primary care, place of primary care, and they asked us to go find some other options," explained Chris Duffy, Vice President of Corizon Health, which the vendor hired by the Indiana Department of Correction to oversee the prison's medical program.
Duffy says a reduction in Medicare reimbursements by the state led to Wishard bowing out. Now Duffy has to transport mothers in labor nearly an hour north to Anderson.
Heather Jones narrowly escaped the trek to Anderson. She delivered Andrea seven weeks ago.
"Wishard's so close, so if we go into labor it's just right there. Where's Anderson?? They make you sit in the infirmary and make you count your contractions for a while, so a lot of us was nervous about being down there too long, not making it to Anderson in time," add Jones, who was convicted of theft.
Chavonne Freeman says her last birth was so fast, she questions whether she would have made it.
"It was about ten minutes. I think it was two pushes and he was out," said the mother of four from Maryland who is serving time for forgery.
Luckily her labor was induced. Now she thinks more inmates will end up having C-sections and other procedures to avoid risks on the road.
"Whether it's a 10-minute trip down the road or a 40-minute trip down the road, there's always some risk and we want to do everything possibly can to eliminate all the risks and all the possibilities of things that can go wrong," explained Duffy.
Duffy says Corizon has set up new protocols to determine case by case if an inmate should make the longer transport.
"There are some that will never make the trip. We'll look at them right away and say, 'no, we're going to deliver much closer,'" conceded Duffy.
Child birth emergencies will go to St. Vincent's Hospital on the northwest side, not Wishard and not Eskenazi, the new hospital that will soon take Wishard's place.
An inside source at Wishard says the decision to turn away pregnant inmates doesn't sit well for a hospital corporation on the receiving end of major gifts for its new facility.
Marion County taxpayers voted to give bonds, employees contributed over a million dollars and the Eskenazi family donated $40 million for the new Eskenazi Medical facility.
"Is this actually going to cost the residents of Marion County more to have these inmates transported out of county?" asked 13 Investigates.
"Absolutely not," said Duffy.
For expectant mothers the change means just one more area of stress, but for the state of Indiana it translates to $5 million in savings.
Suggested Links
With the exception of the pregnant inmates, Duffy says moving prison health care to more regionalized hospitals statewide will cut down on transport costs.
On behalf of Wishard, Marion County Health and Hospital provided the following statement:
"Wishard is not responsible to provide care for IDOC inmates. As a matter of state and federal law, the IDOC is responsible for providing and paying for health care for all prisoners in its custody. In other words, IDOC inmates are the responsibility of the state of Indiana not Marion County. Moreover, an IDOC inmate is not an indigent patient because the state must pay for his or her health care. The IDOC has not entered into an agreement with Wishard for Labor and Delivery Services."

The Legionnaires Mirage
Warning: terrible pun alert.
- - -
Three Legionnaires are walking through the desert under a baking sun. They're fully equipped with enough water for days and food aplenty -- but they were fascinated that they still saw mirages.
They see visions of swimming pools attended by dusky maidens. They see stalls full of ice creams and sorbets of every conceivable flavor. They see cool ponds inviting them to take a swim. But the Legionnaires do not crack. Instead they keep marching solidly on.
Suddenly one of them freezes. "Psssst," he says. His companions halt and strain their eyes to where the first Legionnaire is pointing.
"There!" he says, with a thick accent. "Is zat a bacon tree on ze horizon?"
And sure enough, there it is, proud and defiant in the middle of the desert: an actual bacon tree! Slowly they creep forward towards the far off mystery object. Centimetre by centimetre they carefully crawl until they are within a stone's throw of the bacon tree. Ever nearer they creep until suddenly a shot rings out, dropping one of the Legionnaires in his tracks. The other Legionnaires hit the ground as bullets thud into the sand around them.
The other two return fire and give first aid to their wounded companion.
Even as they bandage him and pour water over his face they can hear his faint voice:
"Zat vas no bacon tree," the wounded man gasps out as his final words. "Zat iz a ham bush."

GSM Based Wireless Internet Demo in Costa Rica, Tuesday December 14, 2004
Alajuela, Costa Rica (PRWEB) December 11, 2004
El Rey Largo Restaurant and Bar, Technology Center, announces a live demonstration / technical conference on the use of GSM telephones for mobile Internet Access in Costa Rica. The demonstration will be held at 7:00 PM at El Rey Largo, located 250 meters south of the Iglesia Agonia in Alajuela, Costa Rica, approximately 2 kilometers from the San Jose International Airport. See web site for map and Costa Rica discussion board.
All members of the public are welcome and encouraged to bring their own laptops so they can check out the surfing experience first hand. One observer at the first demonstration in November referred to it as Â?extremely cool technology to see.Â? There is no fee to attend and a delicious Costa Rican menu, Beer, Soft Drinks and full bar is available.
Learn how the extended GSM technology system works in Costa Rica and whether it may be a viable alternative to dialup access for you. You will also learn about Bluetooth. You will also be able to interact with others on the leading edge of technology in Costa Rica. El Rey Largo is also a wifi hotspot that offers free internet service to its customers (who bring their own laptops).
Plan your next high tech event at El Rey Largo in the Tropical Paradise, Costa Rica. With easy access from the SJO international airport, it is the perfect location for all high tech presentations especially those seeking an audience of venture capitalists interested in offshore technology investment.
El Rey Largo was created by Glen L. Roberts who owns an internet business (http://www.office1000.com )in the United States and Â?hasnÂ?t been his office in almost two yearsÂ?. He has taken the concept of telecommuting to the extreme and personally demonstrated that with the internet there are no boarders; working from Costa Rica, Panama, Peru and Colombia.
Roberts encourages those that feel a little stressed out at the office to Â?grab their laptop and come to Costa Rica for a week or two — for a work vacation.Â? He warns however, it might be years before they return to their office.

How to Have an OBE
By Cezyl
*Disclaimer: Everyone does this at their own risk and NDERF/OBERF/ADCRF/CERF assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or inaccuracy of what is presented below. If you have any kind of physical, emotional, or mental problem, please consult with the appropriate people and obtain their approval prior to trying this.
THREE STEP SIMPLE, EASY, and EFFECTIVE OBE TECHNIQUE
By Cezyl 1/27/05 12:00 PM EST (GMT -5)
This technique is an easy one that works for the higher dimensionals easy, and also for here-now OBE effortlessly easy if you keep at it. I find now that it also develops nonphysical here-now and astral sight capabilities. The technique improves the clarity and joy of the nonphysical trips, by
gradually deepening the state. I bet it does much more too. The details are explained in the tech.
Step ONE: 4-2 Meditation-Relaxation Technique
This is a technique that can help your ability to astral project. I have used it successfully numerous times. Also, if you do it long enough and with enough focus and relaxation, it can get you at the threshold of astral projecting, and also it get you astrally projected. *Practice* and let the technique teach you. Sit or lay down comfortably. Relax.

LED on keychain
After playing with this, I found I can put the keyring on my middle finger and turn the light on one-handed. I can wear it like a ring, and not have to keep it in a pocket when using it.
The keyring may or may not fit your finger, (it is pretty decent size though, id=21mm), but if you put in on a ring that does fit, it is mighty convenient! Even over gloves!
I have also stuck a little circle of velcro on it and stuck it to my laptop to use as a laptop light. it works nicely there too.
How many uses for these can you find?
04/11/2012 Note: We got a new shipment in and got a really good price on them. Because of increased shipping costs, we were unable to lower the price of a single one, but have dropped the price of 5 to $12 shipping included in the US.
|These are
really nice! Unlike most of the tiny LED lights
on keyrings. These have both a press on-release off
switch AND an on-off button so that they can
remain on while you do other things. The led is
has a medium brightness. I am finding these very
useful around my observing site.
Buy a bunch; give them to your friends!
In my tests, the battery lasted over 100 hours (continuous usage). The battery can be replaced (4 screws) and it takes a CR3032 3V lithium battery. These are very common. This isn't a "throwaway" item.
one keychain $4 includes US shipping
5 keychains $12 includes US shipping.
Flashing red LEDs with 9 volt battery connections
|When at a public
starparty there is a real risk of someone tripping over your
tripod or equipment box. When I have been alone I have
tripped over my own equipment as you may well have.
This blinking red led is attached to a 9 volt battery
connector. It will flash for months if needed on a single
battery. The connection will actually work from 3
volts to 9 volts, but it comes set up for a standard 9 volt
battery. Buy a few for using as a warning
device. $1 shipping is required no matter how many you
buy. The devices cost $0.80 each. (Because I am
just an amateur, the turned on LED in my picture looks
white. It is not, it is red. )
|$1.00 shipping in the US is
added no matter how many you purchase. Each 9volt
flashing red led set up costs $0.80. Ask for shipping
costs to foreign countries.

They've done it again. The Transportation Security Administration, our last line of defense against the terrorists hijackers, has singled out a a five-year-old boy as a possible "security threat." Matthew Gardner, on his way to Los Angeles from Seattle with his mother last week, was tagged by agents because his name was on the dreaded "no-fly" list.
How much common sense does it take to figure out the feds weren't after that Matthew Gardner? But as this video from Seattle NBC affiliate KING shows, the clueless agents couldn't buy a clue.
This isn't the first time the TSA has given a child a once-over. Last year, it identified a 7-year-old Florida boy as a possible Jihadist. (Turned out he wasn't.)
How absurd can it get? Consider this recent photo of a TSA guard frisking a nun. The photographer claims the TSA guard is Muslim, and suggests the guard was just sticking it to the nun. I'll let you decide.
You don't need me to tell you it's gone too far. The proof is here. When the TSA is interrogating kindergartners and giving nuns secondary screening — nuns, fer cryin' out loud! — then it's obvious we've lost our sense of perspective.
(Thanks for the tip, Aaron.)

Real-time Control System for Wastewater Treatment Plants
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are subject to large variation in flow and load, not to speak of uncertainties on the composition of the incoming wastewater. On top of that, the activated sludge treatment process, as used by the vast majority of treatment plants, is difficult to control due to the complex behaviour of the biological process. Nevertheless WWTPs are run 24/7, with operators and management challenged to meet ever tightening environmental regulations.
In order to meet the operational demands of modern-day plants, a new control system was developed. Proprietary control algorithms were introduced based on a large set of data from nutrient measurements in various WWTPs. The customer`s benefits are twofold: (1) achieving optimum effuent quality and, at th same time, (2) lowering energy needs and dosing of commidity chemicals.

Waste water treatment plants Personnel Safety & H2S filter management
Context & Challenges Globally, the wastewater treatment is the first public health issue. Urban development leads to urbanization near waste water treatment plant and extension of sewerage network. These aspects induce to an augmentation of sulfur compounds (H2S, mercaptans and sulfides) which are very corrosive, odorant and toxic. To monitor this compounds online CHROMATOTEC® offers high meteorological solutions. As a result of the confinement of the waste water stations, toxic components such as H2S and Methylmercaptan increased. Safety of employees on such working sites has therefore become of major problem. To fight this hazardous pollution, air filtering systems have been installed. For the station managers, personal safety coupled with the need for constant air quality control and filter change has been a heavy task.

Christian Programs
Christian Youth Recovery Programs & Boarding Schools
Why are Christian Youth Programs the solution to help your troubled teen?
It is well known that the later teenage years are by rite a time of experimentation with independence and of testing the parent-child bonds. This can be a difficult and challenging period for parents and youth alike. However, help is available! By keeping the lines of communication wide open, maintaining a ready willingness to forgive and above all holding a sincere and abiding faith in our Savior Jesus Christ, miracles can not only happen but should be expected. This is where good Christian recovery programs can really help. Our troubled teen programs assist by focusing on spiritual cleansing and renewal - starting from the inside and working outward toward a salvation and rebirth of body and soul. Using individual counseling and a Bible-based structure, troubled teens are reached with a low-pressure, one-on-one program designed to help get them back together with their families as soon as possible.
Christian boarding schools are by no means exclusively for those teens from broken (or otherwise dysfunctional) homes. Troubled youth who fall into addictive, criminal or other problem behavior can emerge from even the most well-balanced and best-intentioned family environments. Even children in seemingly idyllic households are exposed to the adverse influences of bad peer groups as well as the insidious predations of the internet and other media. Unfortunately for parents, there is no blueprint for how to raise a trouble-free child. To some parents it may appear as if the world is overrun with opportunities and excuses for rebellion.
Many parents prefer the approach of Christian residential treatment centers to the more rigid protocols of the military boot-camp style programs. True Christian programs aren't ideally suited to help all troubled teens but just as the Lord works in mysterious ways, Christian programs often show remarkably dramatic transformations very quickly. Remain ever prayerful with hope in your heart, for there is no troubled child beyond the grasp of our loving Redeemer. Instead of sending your child to a cold and harsh troubled teens boot camp, make sure he/she is providing with a warm loving environment.
Why Boot Camps is not for Troubled Teens
Even though military schools have explicit admissions policies that state they are not reform schools and will not accept applicants with mental, behavioral or substance abuse problems, it is still a popular perception of the public that military schools and similar style boot camps are the solution for rehabilitating troubled teenagers.
The concept originally evolved from the state operated correctional agencies that proliferated in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As part of the government initiative to reduce youth population in prisons, give incarcerated youth a chance through rehabilitation and reducing their recidivism rates, correctional boot camp were established, first in Georgia and Oklahoma in 1983 and by the next few years, in 26 states accommodating around 8000 delinquents.
By late 1980s, the private sector began offering programs build along this premise. Their programs offered families a solution for managing difficult children – children who are in danger of academic failure or children who are in danger of delinquency. As the boot camp appeal grew, they are being marketed as an intervention for kids suffering from behavioral, emotional and psychological issues.
The most distinguishing characteristic of military schools and teen boot camps is the quasi military atmosphere that is derived from the actual military basic training camps of the armed forces. For the former, this is to prepare the cadets for the eventual rigors of the military life, and for the latter, it is supposedly to instill discipline, obedience, camaraderie, personal responsibility and other virtues that is hallmark of the U.S. Army recruit training camps, in hopes that the teenager can make an about face of his previous deleterious life, and start anew using the skills he has acquired in camp.
Why teen boot camps won't work?
Most programs include drill, ceremony, a structured environment and daily schedule of preplanned activities, it almost always include rigorous physical exercise.
For a cadet to succeed in the training camp, he must have the mental, emotional and physical toughness needed to withstand the hardship and abuse typical in boot camps. Already, these rules out kids that have behavioral, emotional and psychological issues, whose mental, emotional and physical toughness are not on the level that is required to withstand a boot camp program. And without proper motivation to succeed, troubled kids who are forced into a boot camp program by their parents will not only waste lots of money, there will also be a risk of permanent mental, emotional and physical damage.
Boot camp alternatives and recovery programs for troubled teens
A distinguishing characteristic of troubled, at risk and struggling teenagers is that they lack the mental and emotional fortitude to withstand difficulties and hardship they encounter in everyday life. They easily fold and give up. The intervention programs for these types of personalities should strive to work within the character as opposed to working externally through brute force, coercion, intimidation.
In many ways, therapeutic boarding schools are better alternatives to teen boot camps in regards to helping troubled teenagers. These programs espouse positive experience, close interactions and education from positive adult role models, motivation and encouragement in their rehabilitation efforts. These, according to various researchers (McKenzie, Muscar), show better promise in providing troubled juveniles with an opportunity to change their lives around.

Hello, I show that you should be receiving around $8.75 to $9.00 a month, check and see if your account is enrolled in the program you see online. Your earnings if they pay you the .30 percent would be over $100 a year. Another approach would be to ask your bank about a Money Market Account which would pay you 2 to 3 times what you are presently earning with no additional risk. Thanks Tom
