We had a nice cruise: Carnival Valor Cruise Review by pabajb
Overall Member Rating
We had a nice cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Embarkation: Arrived at the dock about 10:30. Hardly anyone was there so we got processed right away. Had to wait about 45 minutes to board the ship. But the wait was comfortable and we didn't mind at all. It did take our luggage until 5:00 pm to reach our cabin. I guess "First on, last off" applies here, but it wasn't a problem for us. Shorts are permitted in the dining rooms on the first day. If you want to swim right away, bring a suit with you in your carry on bag.
Ship: I really liked the decor of the ship. It is definitely "glitzy", but that's what I like. Lot's of color and shine everywhere, but I felt it was very tastefully done. More Everywhere I walked, I enjoyed the atmosphere around me and I never tired of it. I did notice that there was more brass and wood on some of the other ships, but like I said, this ship "wowed" me. I like the happy feeling I got everywhere. My daughter loved it as well.
Cabins: When I first entered our inside stateroom (7244), I thought it was small. But after unpacking, I couldn't believe how much room there actually was for all of our belongings - we overpacked! Three large closets with plenty of shelving! Several drawers and two small cabinets as well. A desk and a mini bar (kept locked if there are minors in the room). The two of us never felt crowded. The bathroom was spacious (for a cruise ship) with six shelves for toiletries. Way more than we needed and we brought our entire bathroom from home! There is a safe for you valuables. You need a credit card to open and close it (no charge), but I suggest bringing along a "non-credit" card swiper to use. Our steward, Eric, was wonderful. A cute towel animal in our room each evening.
Food: The food in the dining room was good. Not fantastic, but good. It was presented beautifully and we always enjoyed the meals. The wait staff was better than on other cruises that we have sailed on that tips were automatically added. They tend to just do the minimum when they know what their tips will be, but our staff was very good. Carnival did a good job at seating us at a table with a nice family of five which also had two teens, so my daughter had friends.
Rosie's Restaurant was great. There was always something to suit everyone. I liked the deli. Don't forget the hidden secret.....upstairs above Rosie's in the back of the ship is the Fish and Chips place. Great fish and they have some unusual food there.
Entertainment: I saw most of the shows in the Ivanhoe Theater and found them to be very entertaining. I am not very critical and easy to please. Hey...I'm on vacation and I am not looking to be negative. The singers and dancers gave it their all. Happy Cole was very funny. He gave me his cd for talking to him.
Ports of call: Because of Hurricane Fay, we had to reverse the order of our stops, but that didn't affect us at all. We had beautiful weather because of the change. All of the excursions that we had booked online (off of the ship) were waiting for us when we arrived on the different day.
Let me mention that you should either book excursions online with outside companies before you sail or find a tour on the dock! The ships tours are nearly double the price and you get more for your money from the locals!
Cozumel: We disembarked the ship and found a glass-bottom boat snorkel tour on the dock.. They wanted $45/pp, but we paid $40. It was great. There were 12 of us on the boat. We went to two reefs with plenty of fish and time to swim. It included beer and soft drinks. They took underwater pictures of us and each costs $10 if you want to purchase. Not a huge amount and a nice souvenir. After, we had the choice of returning to the ship or getting dropped off at another dock which was close to a beach. We chose the second and took a 10 minute taxi ride to the beach. I believe it was Pleasure Island. No entrance fee and all the amenities you need from chairs, restrooms, water sports and food. A very nice excursion and day at the beach.
Belize: I booked a combo ATV/Cavetubing tour online with Cave-tubing.com before we left. Paid $75/pp. We had a great time. My 14 year old daughter was so pleased that she got to drive an ATV by herself! I must admit, it was a bumpy ride, but I enjoyed it as well. I liked the cavetubing even better. Very relaxing and cave-tubing really did an outstanding job keeping our group together. Their staff was entertaining and very attentive. There is a strenuous 35-45 min walk through the rainforest and the guides carried all of the women's tubes! I would have had a hard time hiking with the tube in hand. I cant say enough about Cave-tubing.com. They were wonderful and I highly recommend them.
Honduras: We pre-booked a zipline tour with Pirates of the Caribbean. Ziplining was FANTASTIC! We did the extreme and had such a great time. It's a little scary jumping off the platform the first time, but after that, you'll be a pro. It is well worth it. We went to Fantasy Island Beach after the zipline. Magnificent doesn't even describe the cove. Clear calm water and palm trees and we were able to use the facilities of the Fantasy Island resort. A wonderful day that we will remember forever.
Grand Cayman: By this time, we were very tired from our other adventurous tours, so we went to Seven Mile Beach and just floated in the water. It too is a beautiful beach with all water sports and amenities. There is actually some pretty good snorkeling right off the beach (we went to the first stop. There are about five beaches in a row) if you want to bring your mask. Only a $4/pp cab ride to the beach. Go early and then walk around town when you get back to the cruise dock. The beach gets crowded as most people go shopping first.
Sea days: There are lots of fun activities to do onboard during the days at sea. You wont be bored.
Here's a few things worth mentioning:
I contracted a stomach bug (probably the norovirus) the first or second day on the ship. I was pretty ill the 4th, 5th and 6th day, but I had to keep going for my daughter's sake. I didn't want to disappoint her. The virus wasn't widespread that I was aware. I didn't hear of any others that were ill. My suggestion is to wash your hand well and frequently!
Here's a few items that are handy to bring along: Lanyard for room key, nightlight (for inside cabins), small power strip - only one outlet in the cabin, big tote bags. There was no need for an alarm clock as there are wake-up calls which were great.
What not to bring: Shampoo, toothpaste, razors, hair dryer, soap (shampoo and shower gel dispenser in shower). These are all available in your cabin.
I also want to mention that because this was an inexpensive cruise compared to other fleets so the class of people on this ship reflected that. Most were sophisticated and pleasant, but there were those that were not. I will leave it at that.
Disembarkation: What a zoo! Good luck! I had ticket number 6, so we were off in plenty of time to make our 2:00 flight from Ft. Lauderdale. They fingerprinted all non-US people, so it took forever in the customs line. They should have had a better system down in the customs area. Maybe a line for US residents.
All in all, it was an enjoyable cruise. Not much outstanding, but no real negatives as far as Carnival was involved. But, I will probably sail with another line next time. Less

The fundamental physical and biological properties of Texas lands that are represented on this map collectively define basic land-resource categories: regions of ground-water recharge, lands containing economic mineral resources, areas containing land-surface materials having economically important physical properties, regions exhibiting distinctive land forms, areas influenced by dynamic physical processes, and areas dominated by biological factors. One or more of these categories define a land-resource unit, differentiated on this map by color and labeled by alphanumeric abbreviations. Each of the generalized map units commonly represents more than one land-resource unit.
Ground-Water Recharge Units. Surficial recharge sands and gravels (map units Rs1 through Rs4) are among the most economically important of the Texas land resources. Aquifers supply nearly 60 percent of the total fresh-water demand of the state, and they are the sole source of water in numerous areas of Texas. Recharge areas are generally underlain by uncemented or loosely cemented sand or mixed sand and gravel. Surface waters can, however, recharge aquifers by passing through virtually any type of bedrock or surficial sediments that have permeability (for example, map units G, L7, and others not specifically designated as recharge sands on this map) sufficient to enable water to flow into aquifers.
Ground-water movement and storage in the recharge sediments and aquifers occur within open spaces (porosity) between the sediment grains and can compose as much as 25 percent of the sediment volume. The degree to which these open spaces are interconnected (to allow subsurface water flow) determines the permeability of the recharge and aquifer material. The map differentiates between recharge units on the basis of sediment grain size (gravel, sand, and clay), permeability, and topography (for example, rolling hills, barrier islands, and low relief terrains).
Mineral-Resource Units. Because Texas produces a large, diverse array of mineral resources, particularly nonmetallic minerals, it has historically been ranked among the top five states in total annual yield of mineral commodities. Mineral-resource units depicted on the map (map units SI through S5, G, C I and C2, Rb I, and LI through L7) include regions where known significant resources or potential deposits exist. For example, major quarries in hard limestone (map unit LI), sandstone (map unit S4), and granite (map unit G) in Central and East Texas provide building, dimension, and facing stone for commercial and residential structures. Crushed limestone, sandstone, and other rock and sediment types furnish hard-rock aggregates in road bases. Recharge sands also
|host large deposits of uranium in the Karnes City area of South Texas. Caliche (map unit L6) and greensand-ironstone (map unit SI) are locally common road bases. Iron ore has also been n-tined from greensand-ironstone in northeast Texas. Cement plants on and near chalk bedrock (map unit L5) extend from San Antonio to Dallas, and areas depicted by map units C2 and Rb I have yielded bituminous coal, ceramic clay, and gypsum in North-Central Texas.
Physical-Property Units. Physical-property units determine the suitability of an area's physical characteristics for various uses by humans. The physical characteristics of substrate material or soil are the most important, and land properties that impose engineering limits on construction are among the most significant of the map units. These limits include slope stability, foundation strength, excavation potential, compressibility, plasticity, corrosion potential, and infiltration capacity, among others.
The recharge sand units (map units Rs1 through Rs4) exhibit excellent engineering properties for building. They include high foundation strength, low corrosion potential, low compressibility, low expansion (shrink-swell) potential, moderate slope stability, and ease of excavation. Limestone, sandstone, and granite (map units L1 through L5, S1, S5, and G) share many of these desirable characteristics. In contrast, land-resource units that have a high clay content are typically unsuitable as a construction base. Clays and shales (map units C1, C2, S2, S3, and Rb1) erode easily, forming lowlands; compose weak foundation and construction materials; and have expansive and corrosive properties that damage roads and foundations. Clay-dominated units, however, commonly well suited for solid-waste disposal, are sources of industrial clays and constitute prime agricultural lands.
Land-Form Units. For certain land-resource areas in Texas, topographic relief and land-surface configuration control land use. Unlike other land-resource units, however, few generalizations can be made about physical properties of the land-form units because of their statewide diversity. Substrate materials range from very hard to soft, topography ranges from flat prairie and coastal lands to rugged mountain terrain, and agricultural suitability ranges from poor range land with sparse vegetation to highly productive farmland. Mountain, canyon, and desert vistas (map units Dm1, Dm2, and Af) in Trans-Pecos Texas, badland red-bed terrains (map units Rb1 and Rb2) in North-Central Texas and the Panhandle, the limestone-supported Hill Country of Central Texas (map units L1and L3), and dune fields and barrier islands of coastal Texas are but a few examples of land-form units that have created prime recreational attractions in the state.
|Dynamic-Process Units. Land-resource units in which dynamic physical processes (for example, flooding and wind erosion) are paramount greatly affect the natural suitability of many areas of the state for human activities. In some areas, these processes are continuous; in other regions, the processes occur periodically, rapidly, and sometimes with intensity. The periodicity and intensity of these processes and resultant land-surface changes strongly affect human ability to use land and water resources in the affected areas.
The land-resource units that are grouped under dynamic processes are stream, coastal, and eolian (wind) deposits: flood-prone valleys and terraces (map unit A), areas susceptible to hurricane-surge flooding (map unit Bi and other coastal units), sand dunes and blowouts (map unit W1), and windblown sands (map unit W2). Other units that are less influenced by dynamic processes include limestone terrains susceptible to sinkhole development (map unit L7) and mountainous terrains where rock and mud slides may occur (map units Dm1 and Dm2). Primary dynamic-process units are restricted to the Texas Coastal Zone, West Texas, and the Panhandle.
The nutrient-rich soils in stream and river valleys that are subject to periodic flooding are best used for agriculture in rural areas and for greenbelts in urban settings. River terraces require thoughtful commercial development because they remain possible flood zones during infrequent, but major, flooding events. Topographically low areas along the coastal zone, such as barrier islands, are susceptible to storm-surge flooding and shoreline erosion. Mobile sand dunes and blowouts, involving generally continuous dynamic processes, are components of lands that are commonly left undeveloped as scenic park lands. Mountainous areas subject to rock and mud slides are remotely inhabited, and they are also prime scenic lands.
Biological-Resource Units. Only one biological-resource unit is represented on this map-wetlands (map unit M). This land-resource unit includes fresh-, brackish-, and saltwater marshes in coastal and deltaic settings that can be mapped as separate units on a larger scale map. Swamps and riparian lands, also generalized, are included in the wetlands unit. Numerous other coastal marshes and swamps cannot be shown at this scale. In the coastal bay areas, many other biological units can be identified on the basis of benthic populations. Sea grasses and oyster reefs are examples. For more details about the information summarized on this map, please consult the Bureau's 1:500,000-scale map and the text that accompanies the publication Land Resources of Texas.

In a fifth-season episode of Happy Days, the Fonz jumped over a shark on water-skis. It was thought the show began to lose its way at that moment. Inspired by this, the term 'jumping the shark' was coined, to mark the beginning of the end of any show.
Jumptheshark.com now holds thousands of viewers' thoughts on 'shark moments'. For example,158 voters reckon in Friends the magic was lost when Ross and Rachel had sex. One can argue that So Graham Norton jumped the shark when it went to five nights a week.
Soon, people began to say things like, 'No, Next Gen never jumped, but it hopped-on-the-fin every time an episode was set on the holodeck.'
But some feel the phrase jumping the shark jumped itself when it was applied to things other than TV series ('New Labour jumped the shark last month when Paul Boateng lost his rag on C5 News'). Then the book-of-the-name-of-the-website (by John Hein) came out in September. And, coupled with over-use of the phrase on the net, some feel that both jumping the shark and pointing out that jumping the shark has jumped the shark have jumped the shark.

Have you heard?!
Our new cookbook will be out in stores March 25th!
And if you don't think you can wait that long . . . you can get it on Amazon right now!
After the release of our first cookbook last year, many of you requested that we share some ideas for side dishes or complete menu plans. Like many of you, I struggle to come up with side dishes or appetizers, so our focus was to take out the hard work. Like most of our recipes, they are simple family-friendly menus that even your pickiest eaters will eat (trust us- between the sisters, we have 8 kids and some of them are as picky as they come!).
We are so excited for this book and can't wait to share with you some of our favorite recipes!
This recipe isn't included in the book, but it's definitely cookbook worthy! My kids love ham, but I struggle thinking of different ways to prepare it. I love the ham and pineapple combination, so I decided to throw it in the crock pot and see what happens. The ham+pineapple+brown sugar makes the most amazing flavor. Even my two youngest children (ages 1 and 4) ate their dinner, so you know it's a winner!
Slow Cooker Ham and Pineapple Sandwiches
2 lbs ham, fully cooked and cut into small pieces
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup onions, minced
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Add all ingredients in the slow cooker and stir together. Cook on low heat for 3-4 hours or until completely heated through. Serve by scooping sandwich filling on a large hamburger bun (or bun of your choice). Makes about 10-12 sandwiches.
To make these even yummier, I threw some Swiss cheese on top of the ham and put them under the broiler in the oven for a minute or two (until the cheese was nice and melted). It was amazing.
Pair sandwiches with our Baked Seasoned Steak Fries for a quick and easy meal!

Calvary Chapel Bible College Rosarito is a 2 year program for full time students. Most of our students are part time, with classes offered mainly in the evenings and on Saturdays. We also offer a unique summer school option as well. All our classes are bilingual, 15 weeks long, and very reasonably priced. We would be delighted to have you join us.
At Calvary Chapel Bible College Rosarito we are excited to be a part of the great work God is doing in Mexico. The main academic focus is simply to teach God¿s Word to equip the students for service. Therefore you will find that the vast majority of classes offered are focused on the verse-by-verse study of the bible. The academics have been structured to allow the students to grow closer to Jesus while also confirming the call of God in their lives. As you learn more about this bible college, we invite you to pray about your future involvement with CCBC Rosarito.
CCBC Rosarito is only 30 minutes below the US border, and an hour from the Ensenada campus. Rosarito is a beach town of about 60 thousand, and is very safe. The bilingual church has grown to about 1800 people in only 12 years. God is working! At this time, we do not have dorms, but we can assist with housing out of town students.
We are excited to offer many classes with outstanding professors! All are either pastors or missionaries, all with much experience and still very involved in ministry! Our desire is not for you to only learn, but to first, know Jesus more intimately, and be equipped to better serve Him. We offer a 2-year (4 semester) bilingual program intended for students who have completed high school or a G.E.D. program or its equivalent. Outstanding students, as young as 16, with a ¿B¿ average may be able to participate too. Students must take all the required courses and pass with a "C" or better. Students may come for one, two, or as many semesters as they desire. Graduation requires 80 credits. Some credit may be given to those who have taken classes in Rosarito in the past. For specific information pertaining to academics, you may visit CCBC Ensenada's webpage.
Because we are a extension campus of Calvary Chapel Bible College in Ensenada, we are able to accept all transfer students from there or any other Calvary Chapel Bible College campuses regardless of their current semester rotation.

How notable architecture and planning cantransform a community
By Brian CarterDean, University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning
It is also impressive that many people in Buffalo are knowledgeable about architecture and the city. They use and enjoy it, and clearly appreciate the benefits of this particular legacy. Some also recognize the potential it has to offer.
Buffalos outstanding architecture and planning was created by inspired patronage. So, for example, when Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to design the Darwin Martin House and the Larkin Building, he was still a relatively young man. Eero Saarinen was only 29 when he worked alongside his father to design Kleinhans Music Hall. Gordon Bunshaft, the architect of the extension to the Albright-Knox, grew up in the city. It is encouraging to see the results of this inspired patronage. One consequence, however, is that when architecture is discussed, the next word that is frequently used here is "heritage." While the thoughtful husbandry of the citys built heritage is vitally important, it is also critical that the same spirit of inspired patronage be projected into the 21st century. This is now starting to happen.
So, not only has money been raised to restore Wrights Martin Housea campaign directed with the help of UBbut a recent architectural competition has also brought about a fine design for a new study center for the visitors who will be going there. In that competition, five young practices were invited to prepare designs for a small yet highly significant new building. Such competitions, although commonplace in Europe, are all too rare in America. This competition produced a series of excellent ideas, and the winnerToshiko Mori, an architect with a practice in New York City who is also the chair of architecture at Harvardhas proposed an outstanding design. Currently students and faculty from our school are designing an exhibition about the competition, including a model of the winning scheme, which will open at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in OctoberI hope that you will go and see it.
There are signs of other acts of inspired patronage in the city, too, that will create significant new and well-designed buildings. The UB Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics, Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute Structural Biology Center and Roswell Park Cancer Institute Center for Genetics and Pharmacology will all help to generate additional life in the city.
This activity, prompted by a renewed interest in architecture and planning, can bring about urban regeneration and civic transformation. This has happened successfully elsewhereperhaps most notably with Frank Gehrys design of the new Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, a former industrial city in northern Spain that is now being radically transformed as a result of this new building, but also through other more modest projects developed in cities in England, Germany and Scandinavia.
The university, the city and the region can and should be increasingly significant players in bringing about this transformation in Buffalo and Western New York. Notwithstanding, each of you as a UB alumnus, and as someone who has enjoyed the city, also has an opportunity to lead in your own communities. We can each commission good architects to design buildings, initiate architectural competitions, make strategic plans that reclaim derelict land and foster sustainable development, organize demonstration projects that creatively conserve and reuse existing buildings, and advance improved environmental performance and the innovative use of materials in design. By continuing to engage architecture and planning at every opportunity so as to create significant new landmarks and models for city building, it is possible for each of us to do more than merely provide square footages of featureless space that make bland, energy-consuming environments and offer little real joy. Good architecture and planning can and do improve peoples livesas Buffalos considerable legacy clearly demonstrates.

- Stylist:
- Leah
Mar 12, 2009 - I absolutely HATE getting my hair cut to the point that I would only do it once a year or so. I found Leah on here and made an appointment. I have always seen pictures of short, curly styles, but have never been able to get a haircut that would produce anything like the pictures. Leah did it - she is absolutely fabulous! My hair is above my shoulders for the first time in my adult life, and I LOVE it! She is friendly, knowledgeable, and talented in what she does. You don't have to dread haircuts anymore!! Go to her and she will take excellent care of you. I will definitely go back again when it's time. Thank you so much, Leah!

Not a whisper of such names as Chimborazo and Cotopaxi had reached Europe.
Chimborazo was long supposed to be the most lofty mountain on the globe.
This is Chimborazo,—yet not the whole of it,—you see but a third of the great giant.
The highest peak of the Andes (Chimborazo) is more than 21,000 feet above the sea.
It can dart in an instant from the dome of Chimborazo to the sultry coast of the Pacific.
On Chimborazo we never roped one another to cross crevasses.
But this Chimborazo of prima facie evidence becomes a mere mole-hill in the hands of your valiant Baconizer.
Draba aretoides has been found on Chimborazo at 16,000 feet.
Ice is frequently brought from Chimborazo, and sold for $1 per pound.
There is something very suggestive in this silence of Chimborazo.

At some point in your search for university employment, you may find yourself facing inappropriate questions about your religion or the number of children you have. One possible response is to ask a question of your own:
Or you can answer the question behind the question. The interviewer may genuinely, albeit wrongly, trying to find the answers to key issues of concern. She may be worried about whether you will be able to juggle your home life with your work life, or he may be concerned about attendance problems or whether you can work evening or weekend. You can gracefully sidestep the question that was asked and respond to the underlying issue:
By responding to the question behind the question without showing disapproval for the impropriety, you will show that you have the tact and political acumen for any academic positions.

The University of the West Indies (UWI) hosted its 2nd Annual Benefit Gala in Toronto on March 26 at The Four Seasons Hotel, to honour individuals and organisations that have made significant contributions to UWI and the Caribbean and Canadian communities. One of the organisations honoured was GAP Adventures, owned by 44 year old Trinidad-born Bruce Poon Tip, for its role in pushing the boundaries of sustainable travel.
Proceeds from the Gala, held under the patronage of Dr Raymond Chang, immediate past Chair of CI Financial, an honorary graduate of UWI, and Chancellor of Ryerson University – the second organisation honoured at the Gala for its contribution to the advancement of Caribbean people through its joint programmes with UWI – will benefit students through the UWI Scholarship Fund and the UWI Haitian Initiative.

Serra didn't just have to survive Taft at the Trevor Ariza Tipoff Classic at Westchester. The Cavaliers had to survive themselves for a 39-36 win to advance to the semifinals on Friday.
Turnovers and missed free throws forced Serra to rely on its defense to secure the victory. After turning the ball over with 9.3 seconds left, the Cavaliers forced Taft's Darius Henderson into a long 3-pointer that fell short as the buzzer sounded.
It wasn't a pretty night for either team as Serra only scored three points in the third quarter. Yet the Cavaliers returned the favor and held Taft to only five points in the fourth.
"It's still early in the season and our kids are getting to know one another. It just takes time, " Serra head coach Dwan Hurt said of his team's struggles on offense.
Tavrion Dawson led the Cavaliers with 16 points and was almost their entire second-half offense. He had 13 of the team's 14 points, with the only other point coming on a free throw by Emmanuel Ndumanya.
"My team just told me to get into it," Dawson said, "Coach told me to pick it up and that I could do it since I was the best player on the court."
Despite the high expectations of a game between a defending Southern Section champion and the defending L.A. City Section champion, both teams came out cold in the first half. Serra's 25-19 halftime lead could've easily been confused for a first quarter score.
"We thought it was going to be high scoring and more uptempo," Dawson said.
It was a combination of great defense and sloppy play on both sides. Yet Taft struck first in the second half as they attacked the basket early and ended the third on an 8-0 run to take a 38-21 lead.
Serra retook the lead in the fourth as Dawson scored two quick baskets. After allowing a 3-pointer to Kris Yanku to give Taft the lead at 34-32, the Cavaliers clamped down and outscored the Toreadors 7-2 the rest of the way.
Ndumanya led the defensive charge with three blocks and two steals in the second half. Dawson added two steals as well.
"We expect him to come out and dictate tempo early," Hurt said of Dawson, "He waited until the fourth quarter to be able to get it done, but we'll take that for right now."
Yanku, who scored 32 in Taft's first game, was held to only 16 as Serra limited him to six points in the second half.
"He's the heart and soul of Taft and he makes them go so we tried double-teaming him and kept pressuring him," Hurt said.
Serra finished the game 9 for 16 from the free-throw line, something Hurt attributed to the team not being mentally tough yet.
Up next for the Cavaliers is a date with league rival Bishop Montgomery, which scored a whopping 110 points in its win Wednesday night.
"It should be a fun one," Hurt said.

One East Valley football coach's take on the Division I state championship:
Hamilton offense vs. Desert Vista defense
"Hamilton has to get it to Kendyl Taylor on screens, counters, options, anything. Then they'll have a lot of success in play-action which they made a living on most of the year. If you don't throw it to him at least 10 times I think it's a disservice. They're so good for obvious reasons, they're so fast. Their team speed is ridiculous. They're balanced and will try to run at DV to exert their will, and they should use Kendyl in the run game. DV has to stop the first play of the game, whether it's a deep pass or a draw that Hamilton runs. They do that to set the tone."
Hamilton defense vs. Desert Vista offense
"Hamilton has to play a base defense and do what they do best. DV is multiple options enough to have Hamilton in their base defense. You can't take chances because DV can beat you with their QB (Hunter Rodriguez) and speed out wide, but if the Huskies keep everything in front of them they'll be fine because they're that fast. If DV can have a little success on the 'fly sweep' game it stretches you, and then it can push Hamilton linebackers further apart, and then maybe you can start double-teaming up front and get an O-lineman to their LB. Then DV can also run a power game and play-action passing game they like to do. If the fly sweep game gets going, it's DV's only chance to shorten the game and then allow them to do all their other offenses to give them balance. (DV running back/linebacker Mike Arredondo) is a stud, everything runs through him. He's a huge key for the Thunder, he makes that team go, but he needs to run up the middle and you won't do that against the Hamilton defensive tackles if you can't stretch them out."
Desert Vista defense vs. Hamilton offense
"I think you have to take away Kendyl Taylor. He's the key because they run the ball well but have thrown it even better. If you take him out of the game you have a chance. They've been a little banged up lately up front, but that kid is magic. You have to roll your coverage to him and almost bracket him with someone underneath and over the top, but the underneath person still has to be in the run stoppage, and that's what so difficult. But when he's catching the ball one-handed you just say 'Wow' and laugh. Everything goes through him and the problem is they have other weapons in Clayton Stanchik and Just'n Thymes. If you can make (QB Blake) Kemp check to a second and third person in the passing game that would help, because he's efficient. They have so many formations and shifts within their schemes, and Hamilton loves to throw on first down so you have to bracket (Taylor), because you never know with them if they'll run or pass. After first downs and in short yardage you have to pick and choose, because they'll throw during those downs. You have to put seven (defenders) in the box and be disciplined when Hamilton runs the option, and still bracket Taylor. They're not as great offensively as they have been, but they're really smart. As much as you can confuse them with, DV's front can create chaos. You have to choose your battles if you're DV because they're so diverse it's tough, but you have to change up your defensive lines to have success. I think because of that DV can have more success doing that than people give them credit for."
Desert Vista offense vs. Hamilton defense
"DV has to run its 'fly sweep' but show they can play the power game. If you can get Hamilton's defensive tackles moving sideways and get tired, they have a shot. The key is getting them to run sideways and fatigued, so the fly sweep game is very important to what they're trying to do. DV has big kids up front who can double-team, so they have a chance up the middle. You can move them, but those Hamilton tackles are so good you can't come off them and onto blocking the LB behind them, so then the LB will come right over the top and fill the gaps at the line of scrimmage. DV can absolutely throw. (Rodriguez) is good and they can play-action Hamilton with some deep crossing routes if you get the time. I think he's the best Div. I QB out there and his accuracy will help a lot. Hamilton's defensive backfield is good, but they can attack the safeties if Rodriguez gets time to throw. DV loves to shorten the game, keep it close at the end and give themselves a chance late, but if they make any mistakes in special teams, it's over. They can't have a single mishap in special teams."

| Drug Approvals: Circumstances under which an active ingredient may be simultaneously marketed in both a prescription drug product and an over-the-counter drug product
|FDA Comment Number :
|Submitter :
|Dr. Gary Fitsimmons
|Date & Time:
|10/13/2005 08:10:51
|Organization :
|Dr. Gary Fitsimmons
|Category :
|Individual Consumer
|Issue Areas/Comments
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| Yes, the element of subjectivity in these cases has become such that it no longer alows for a satisfactory resolution of the dilema. rguments should be made for or against the current interpretation and a decision should be made to allow or disallow it.
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the act regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously market in both a prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
|B. Is there significant confusion regarding FDA's interpretation of section 503(b) of the act?
| Yes, by relaxing it's interpretation in the 1980s the FDA has opened the door to many further requests to relax restrictions on a host of other basis. These requests can now be made legitimately only because of the earlier decision to relax restrictions based on intended use.
|C. If so, would a rulemaking on this issue help dispet that confusion?
| A. If FDA limited sale of an OTC product to a particular subpopulation, e.g., by making the product available to the subpopulation by prescription only, would FDA be able to enforce such a limitation as a matter of law?
| No. There is currently no mechanism for such enforcement, not to mention the fact that enforcement of other such restrictions on products such as tobacco and adult magazines and videos have proven to be ineffective in keeping these products out of the hands of the subpopulations for whom they are considered inappropriate. Prescriptions are not 100% effective, but they are much more effective than any conceivable method of oversight. They are also already in place and would not add any new burden of enforcement to retailers.
|B. If it could, would it be able to do so as practical matter and, if so, how?
|It couldn't.
| A. Assuming it is legal to market the same active ingredient in both a prescription and OTC product, may the different products be legally sold in the same package?
| No. There would be no way for parents or guardians to tell if the product had been obtained by their children under 17 years of age by a legal perscription that they had not been made privy to or by illegally circumventing restrictions. The remedies which they could seek in such cases would be entirely different, depending on the circumstances.
|B. If the two products may be lawfully sold in a single package, under what circumstances would it be inappropriate to do so?
|It would be inappropriate to do so under any circumstances.
| The relaxation of restrictions on drugs that have previously required perscriptions always has the effect of taking the decision-making ability on what is good for public health out of the hands of medical professionals who have had years of training and are subject to extensive review and oversight and placing it into the hands of drug marketing companies whose motives must of necessity be those of financial gain with little oversight or restriction. This is not a wise course to follow.

NEW GLOUCESTER, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- An unexpected friendship is forming between people from a senior living community and a group of very special horses.
Avita of Stroudwater, a facility in Wesbrook focused on memory care, has been bringing residents to Healing Through Horses ranch to spend time with a group of therapeutic horses. The seniors spend time grooming, petting, and nuzzling with the horses. Angela Mastrella, the Social Program Director at Avita at Stroudwater, says the therapy makes a lasting impression.
"They are able to connect with them without having to have spoken language," Mastrella said. "I think that's the most important thing. We actually had a resident comment that these animals understand him better than people do."
The residents visit the ranch twice a month.

From Naruto:
Gaara (我愛羅, Gaara) renown as "Gaara of the Sand Waterfall" (砂瀑の我愛羅, Sabaku no Gaara; English "Gaara of the Desert"), is a major supporting character of the series, and originally introduced as an antagonist. He was initially the jinchūriki of Shukaku: the One-Tail, and by Part II, he became the Fifth Kazekage (五代目風影, Godaime Kazekage; Literally meaning "Fifth Wind Shadow") of Sunagakure, and had his tailed beast extracted from inside him by Akatsuki.
From One Piece:
Sir Crocodile (サー・クロコダイル Sā Kurokodairu?) is the former president of the secret criminal organization, Baroque Works, and the central antagonist of the Baroque Works Saga. He is one of the longest running primary villains of the series, as well as the first enemy to hand Luffy a complete and utter defeat. He is originally introduced as a Shichibukai, but later was stripped of his title after attempting to take control of the desert kingdom, Alabasta.
Who is the Most Badass Sand User?
In My Opinion: I Choose Gaara Because:
- He looks cooler
- He is more Handsome
- His speech is meaningful
- His childhood is ruin. I'm pity on him
- His fight is awesome in part 1 and even more awesome when he we goes evil(fighing with lee,naruto,kimmimaru)
- In Part 2 His new personal is also cool and his fight is still awesome
- The Most Badass things is the way he controls large amount of sand and use 1 tailed hand to fight diedara. it's very impressive
Thank 4 reading. Good Luck :D
Note: i want to know your opinion. who is the most badass sand user? it's not about who is stronger.

a child, without telling my parents, I used
to go with my friends to Süreyya Beach
in Maltepe and spend the day swimming and playing
in the sun. When we got hungry we would busy
ourselves with preparations for a meal. While
some of us lit a fire at a concealed spot on
the beach, the others would swim out and collect
huge mussels. We would bury these in the embers
until they were cooked. This was my introduction
to shellfish and their wonderful flavour. Turkish
cuisine, which is regarded by many as one of
the world's greatest cuisines, made the acquaintance
of this delicious food many centuries ago. During
their long journey of migration from Central
Asia, the Turkish people incorporated the new
flavours they encountered into their own cooking.
When they arrived in Anatolia, a peninsula surrounded
on three sides by sea, they first made the acquaintance
of salt water fish and seafood. However, their
cuisine already included freshwater fish, as
we can deduce from the fact that the names for
all the latter, such as trout and carp, are
of Turkish origin.
dishes cooked for example in casseroles over
a low heat with butter and herbs quickly took
the place they deserved in Turkish cuisine.
Consumption of shellfish became so widespread,
that we find references to oysters, lobsters
and shrimps in 15th century palace kitchen registers
dating from the reign of Mehmed II. For actual
recipes, however, we must move on into the early
19th century, when Mehmed Kamil's cookery book
Melceü't-Tabbahin (Refuge of Cooks) gives
several recipes for shellfish, which the Ottomans
called 'insects of the sea'.
It is essential that shellfish be perfectly
fresh. Those sold in Istanbul come from the
Bosphorus and neighbouring coastal provinces
on a daily basis. Shellfish are so popular in
Istanbul, that today there are many fast food
snack bars specialising in stuffed mussels and
mussels fried in batter.
specialities like oysters külbasti
style, on the other hand, is much harder, because
oysters and scallops must be ordered from Çanakkale
four days in advance. It is well worth the wait
though, I assure you. l

Casseroled Shrimps
Serves 4
1 kg shrimps
500 g chopped tomatoes
6-7 green chilli peppers
400 g mushrooms
4 bay leaves
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
tablespoons vinegar
4-5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
100 g Kasar cheese
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
Add the vinegar to half a large saucepan of
water, bring to the boil and toss in the shrimps.
Cook for five minutes, then drain and shell.
Melt the butter in a broad shallow pan, add
the tomatoes and cook for five minutes. Remove
the seeds and stalks from the peppers, chop
finely and add to the tomatoes. Continue to
cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the finely chopped
mushrooms, ketchup, bay leaves, salt and black
pepper. Cook until the juice from the mushrooms
has evaporated, then add the shrimps and cook
for a further 2-3 minutes.

9 medium onions
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon currants
1 tablespoon of pine nuts
1 tablespoon sugar
salt, black pepper, allspice
the mussels in water and scrape the shells well
all over with a knife. Then prise them open
along the broad edge with the knife, and cut
off the bristle without tearing the mussels
away from the shell. Rinse the opened mussels
well with water. Soak the rice in water for
ten minutes, rinse and drain. Place the olive
oil and pine nuts in a saucepan and stir over
heat until the nuts are lightly coloured. Add
the rice, one pinch each of salt and spices,
and one and a half cups of boiling water. Cover
and cook over a medium heat for 20 minutes,
then set aside for 10 minutes. Stuff the mussel
shells with the rice and tie with sewing thread
so that they do not come open during the cooking.
Place in a saucepan with half a cup of water
and lay a plate over the top to weigh them down.
Cook over a low heat for 10-15 minutes. When
cold serve with lemon wedges.

A small lakeside town in southern New Zealand is not the place you might expect to find one of the planet's great mazes. But Wanaka is home to Stuart Landsborough, maze designer extraordinaire and founder of the town's Puzzling World.
This tourist facility is split into two parts: a puzzle center, and history's first three-dimensional maze. You can visit one or the other separately, or get a combination ticket for both. You'll find it on the eastern side of the town, alongside the main highway. Look for the Puzzling World sign and distinctive leaning towers.
The maze began life as a standalone attraction in 1973, well before there were any buildings on the site. Thanks to the flexible wooden fence construction, it's gone through various modifications since then. Each change reflected the developing expertise of Landsborough, who put his growing understanding of maze psychology into practice with regular design updates.
Indeed, such was his expertise that he became a consultant maze designer, building various facilities overseas before returning to expand the Wanaka maze and create the puzzle centre.
Anybody used to the relatively simplistic approach of the typical hedge maze might be in for a bit of a surprise. The Puzzling World maze has a rather clever design guaranteed to frustrate those hoping to use typical maze tricks to find their way around.
For example, its 1.5 km of paths are bordered entirely by wooden panels. Since each fence panel looks like the next, it's hard to remember quite where you've already been. Now throw in towers in each corner, stairways and lengthy bridges and you have a whole new level of complexity.
You might think bridges and towers give you a chance to get an aerial view of the site to plan your escape. Not so.
The bridges themselves and part of the Puzzling World building complex obscure important views of junctions and blind alleys.
Your final resort then is to play the "always keep to the left" card. We tried that and there were enough loops built in to foil that particular escape strategy.
Not that escape is the object of the maze. The challenge is to reach all four corner towers. And those with a predilection for geographical torture can try and do it in a preset order.
As such, the maze is not something for a quick 5 minute excursion. You have to use the bridges to solve the puzzle, so it's not suitable for those with limited mobility, either. And children might grow weary of the challenge, since you can easily spend a good hour weaving your way around to the corners.
Fortunately, there are emergency exits dotted around the place. So if you lose heart, or run out of time and energy, you have a way to shorten the journey.
But if you do make it, the sense of achievement is great. You have mastered one of the world's great maze challenges.

We contacted Novartis to discuss the license holder of the submission.
We asked Novartis who the license holder for the submission was. They said it would be Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics, Inc. We explained then Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics Gmbh in Marburg would be considered a contractor since they have a separate license number. Therefore, Novartis Inc would need to have a quality agreement with Novartis Gmbh. Also, if Novartis Gmbh made a change, Novartis Inc would be responsible for notifying the Agency of the change. Novartis Inc would not be able to bundle the change with Novartis Gmbh products.
We asked them to submit to the file in writing confirming that this is their intentions. They agreed.

Credit Suisse has upgraded its rating on biopharmaceutical company
The approval removes the "overhanging risk" in the stock since the regulator initially delivered a negative vote in May. The decision should allow a measure of certainty in Pharmaxis' revenue stream which can be used to fund Bronchitol's global expansion.
But the broker still believes a capital raising may be necessary in the near future to "ensure ongoing solvency". The broker has a 12-month price target of $1.95.

In this letter there is a tone of jocosity with reference to the victim, which filled me with horror.
The purity of woman and the reality of religion are not considered topics for jocosity.
"Winter beginning to show his teeth," said one man, with an effort at jocosity.
"I'll give you a penny for them thoughts," he said, with an air of jocosity.
In fact, there was no political rancor outside of the newspapers, and that was tempered with jocosity.
But it was only with a favoured few that she descended to jocosity.
Miss Joanna Baillie tried her hand at an imitation, but the jocosity of the real thing is not feminine.
The result was apparent in the jocosity of this heavy Mr. Mavering's reply.
Let him amuse the children, relax with jocosity the sternness of adults, and wreathe into smiles the wrinkles of old age.
On the present occasion he welcomed Arkady with all the bonhomie, all the jocosity, of an "enlightened" bigwig.

A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD child whose mother locked him up in a bedroom and chained the door while she went out to work was rescued by Local Police and the fire brigade in Almonte (Huelva province, south-western Spain), emergency services reported last night (Friday).
They were called out by neighbours who heard the little boy 'crying inconsolably' from a balcony window.
The bedroom door was secured with chains and padlocks and no adult was apparently on the premises.
Police and firefighters found the little boy 'extremely dirty', very hungry, and the room in 'appalling conditions of hygiene'.
They took him to the local health centre for treatment, given his state of extreme anxiety, and to get him cleaned up, before handing him to the social services' women and children unit to be cared for.
Inquiries revealed this was not a one-off incident, but that the child's mother left him locked and chained in every non-school day between 06.30hrs and 16.30hrs when she had to work.
Medical reports showed possible signs of 'violent episodes', and two witnesses were traced who were able to confirm that the boy had suffered physical aggression at his mother's hands.
He has been temporarily placed in a children's home and his mother, a Spanish national and local to the province of Huelva, has been arrested.

Southern Poverty Law Center
Southern Poverty Law Center
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was founded in 1971 by "Morris Dees, a direct mail marketer who served as National Finance Director for George McGovern's 1972 Presidential campaign."[1] Organized as a 501(c) non-profit, SPLC claims that it is "dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society..."[1]
The Nation's Richest "Civil Rights" Organization
Far from poor, SPLC raises tens of millions of dollars annually, and has grown an endowment of over $250 million. The group maintains offshore bank accounts in the West Indies.
A 1996 USA Today article[2] called the Southern Poverty Law Center "the nation's richest civil rights organization" with $68 million in assets. According to a 2007 Harper's Magazine article, SPLC listed assets totaling $168 million, and pointed out that the sum was more than the annual GDP of the Marshall Islands at the time.[2] Line 20 on the 2008 IRS form 990 for the Southern Poverty Law Center lists total assets of $221,434,949.00.[3]
Defaming Christian Ministries
In November of 2010, SPLC added several mainstream evangelical organizations to their list of "hate" groups in response to those groups' public support for Biblical teaching on the subject of homosexuality.
From Citizenlink:
- Just before Thanksgiving, the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) came out with a report labeling the Family Research Council (FRC), the American Family Association and other family advocates as "hate" groups because of their stand for marriage.
- "This is a deliberately timed smear campaign by the SPLC. The Left is losing the debate over ideas and the direction of public policy, so all that is left for them is character assassination. It's a sad day in America when we cannot, with integrity, have a legitimate discussion over policy issues that are being considered by Congress, legislatures and the courts without resorting to juvenile tactics of name calling."
From The National Prayer Network:
- SPLC's 10-page attack was distributed to 55,000 police officers in America. Called 18 Anti-Gay Groups and Their Propaganda, it encourages police to especially watch the hateful, violence-inciting propaganda from Christian/conservative "watchdog" organizations. These include the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Family Research Council, Coral Ridge Ministries, Liberty Council, and Traditional Values Coalition.
According to Dr. Gary Cass, who is affiliated with the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, "To say that anybody who has a principled objection to homosexuality [and warns of] the impact that that sinful lifestyle has on individuals and on society is somehow morally equivalent to overt racism and violence is absolutely defamatory."

Fullerton is a lightly urbanized town center of a rural farming area in southwestern England. In nearly all respects it is a normal town full of large families of socially proper middle-class families. Fullerton is the initial setting in the novel and is the traditional home of the Morlands and the Allens.
Bath is a health spa resort town in southwestern England, popular because of its naturally occurring hot springs. During the period considered by the novel, Bath was a widely known and appreciated resort. The Allens go to Bath for a month of holidays and healthy recuperation. Their invitation to accompany them, extended to Catherine, initiates the basic rising action of the narrative.
The Pump Room
At Bath the naturally occurring hot springs are controlled via a series of pumps—the water is drawn from the ground and then pumped off to various steam rooms and heated pools. These pumps are nominally housed in the Pump Room at Bath. By the time of the novel this function, however, is secondary to the social gathering place which centers on the Pump House. The Pump House, only lightly described, is the dominant setting for the first third of the novel.
The Mysteries of Udolpho
The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radcliffe, is a Gothic novel published some years prior to Northanger Abbey. It, along with The Italian by Ann Radcliffe, Castle of Wolfenbach, Mysterious Warnings, Necromancer of the Black Forest, Midnight Bell, Orphan of the Rhine, and Horrid Mysteries make up the apparent reading list of Catherine and Isabella during their stay in Bath. Catherine finds the Gothic romance compelling and begins to confabulate elements of the fiction with her real life. This obviously leads to problems for the young heroine.
Carriages and Horses
Throughout the novel Catherine rides in a variety of conveyances, all of them a type of carriage drawn by horses. The narrator explains the designs of some of these conveyances and John Thorpe wrongfully claims to be a master driver and infallible judge of horseflesh. Within the novel, carriages and horses are symbolic of types of wealth, much as various sports cars are today.
Northanger Abbey
Northanger Abbey is the rather misleading name given to General Tilney's family house and estate. Once a real abbey, the building during the time of Catherine's visit is fully restored and modernized, each room featuring the latest conveniences. Catherine is disappointed to discover Northanger Abbey is not a crumbling relic of mysterious days gone by. Northanger Abbey is the dominant setting for most of the second half of the novel.
Woodston is the pastoral home of Henry Tilney. It is described in some detail by General Tilney as he shows the house and grounds to Catherine. Although much smaller than Northanger Abbey, Catherine finds Woodston charming and is particularly taken by the orchards and lands surrounding the structure. Woodston is a minor setting within the novel.
The Chest, the Roll of Washing-Bills, and the Portrait
During her early stay at Northanger Abbey, Catherine's frenzied imagination causes her to suspect various mysterious plots to be afoot. Her overwrought fantasy is bolstered by a chest which is presumably somehow inherently mysterious—but contains only a hat; by a roll of strange papers—which turns out to be washing-bills; and by the location of a portrait of the late Mrs. Tilney. All of these spurious symbols of intrigue are in fact common objects made significant only through Catherine's misplaced interpretations.
The narrative presents a few letters as facsimile texts; Catherine is invariably the recipient. One letter tells of the end of the engagement between James and Isabella. Another letter tells of the end of the relationship between Captain Tilney and Isabella. The letters are used as a common form of narrative construction to allow various events to be presented chronologically out of order without harming the suspension of disbelief while reading the novel.
Wealth is considered in the novel in a variety of ways. The frugal Morlands and Allens consider wealth as an item to be conserved, as indicated by Mrs. Allen's constant attention to the prices and durability of various materials. John considers the sum of wealth to be a good carriage and fast horse. Isabella considers wealth as the be-all and end-all of matrimony. General Tilney considers equivalent wealth to be a prerequisite to marriage. The various types of wealth considered throughout the novel are interesting and inform some of the novel's major themes.
