Celebrity Summit - Hawaii: Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by bv521
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity Summit - Hawaii
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: San Diego
We drove from Oceanside and parked across the street from the pier. We had a suite so we were able to bypass the very long lines of passengers waiting to check in. There was still quite a line for photographs.
In addition to the Noordam, we also did a seven day Mexico cruise on the Oosterdam, so this review will essentially be comparing the HAL Vista class ships with Celebrity's Millennium class ships.
First I want to say that the Roll Call board for this cruise was quite More active and the Cruise Critic party was well attended. The gift exchange was a great idea.
The best thing about the Summit is The Normandie Restaurant. The food and service are second to none. HAL's Pinnacle Restaurants are not even close. The food in the Cosmopolitan Restaurant was quite good, but our waiter simply would not give us time to enjoy each course. Table assignment was another issue. On the Infinity and Millennium, our cabin was a Sky Suite and we had a table for two by the railing. This time we had a table for two by the window (not nearly as nice), but I was content with this until a couple sitting next to us at the Martini Bar told me that they had a table for two by the railing and they had an INSIDE cabin. Not cool!!! The Waterfall Cafe was actually quite nice. Very good food selection, easy to find a clean table and the service was excellent.
We had a Celebrity Suite which meant lots of space (including a walkin closet) but no balcony. I learned from the Cruise Critic message board shortly before we left that a window washing platform would be right outside one of our windows. Not a problem because it covered only one of four windows and we kept that curtain down. Unfortunately, the windows looked like the washing platform had not been used in quite some time. My major complaint with the cabin was the mattress. When I first laid down, I thought I was laying in the back of a pickup truck. When I complained, I was told that the bedding was only two cruises old. Our room steward put a mattress pad on the bed but the improvement was marginal. On the Noordam, we had a Deluxe Verandah Suite and the mattress was heavenly. Bedding is obviously a matter of personal choice but in my opinion, HAL wins this one hands down. Celebrity Suites have connecting doors and we had some neighbors with loud voices but we got used to it.
I saw on the Cruise Critic review of the Summit a mention of all this fantastic artwork. Made me wonder if I was on the wrong ship. All I remember from the Summit were the busts on the stair landings by Liza Lou that seemed to have been made out of staples or paper clips. And the brown draperies in the atrium were nondescript to say the least. If the Noordam and Oosterdam are any indication, HAL wins this one hands down.
The smoking/no smoking rules were pretty much ignored. However, this was not a major issue.
We went to two shows, one of which was awesome and the other we walked out of. They had a Filipino band called Top Notch which was the best band I have heard on any cruise ship. The Voice Males were also quite good.
Hawaii is, well Hawaii. We only did one shore excursion, Land of the Frozen Fire, on Hilo, which was nice. We did book The Feast At Lele in Lahaina on our own and loved it. The only complaint was having to leave Kona at 1 PM. According to the HAL brochure, the Zaandam leaves Kona at 5 PM, spends four hours in Ensenada (not one like the Summit) and still makes it back to San Diego at 7 AM.
Disembarkation was a mess. HAL lets you stay in your cabin until it's time to leave. Celebrity sent us to the Normandie but they kicked us out at 10:00. Having had a suite, we should have been off the ship long before that but Celebrity, in their infinite wisdom, had us in the very last group leaving the ship, a category labeled Deck 2 Aft.
One last comment for the road. Before I left I sent an e-mail to the Captains Club asking for an e-mail contact while at sea. No answer (until I was long gone). So my travel agent called Celebrity and was told that the address would be email@example.com. WRONG. The celebrityatsea e-mail service ended last February so we were forced to set up a Hotmail account while at sea. Both of us had given the celebrityatsea address to both business and personal associates so we were left with a bit of egg on our faces.
Our cruise next fall will probably be Canada/New England. The choices are the Constellation out of Port Liberty, NJ or the Eurodam from NYC to Quebec or visa versa. I'm thinking it's time to try HAL again. Less

Label Changes for:
Xyrem (sodium oxybate) oral solution
April 2014
Changes have been made to the PRECAUTIONS sections of the safety label.
Detailed View: Safety Labeling Changes Approved By FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)
April 2014
7.2 Divalproex Sodium
- Concomitant use of Xyrem with divalproex sodium resulted in a 25% mean increase in systemic exposure to Xyrem (AUC ratio range of 0.8 to 1.7) and in a greater impairment on some tests of attention and working memory. An initial Xyrem dose reduction of at least 20% is recommended if divalproex sodium is prescribed to patients already taking Xyrem [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Prescribers are advised to monitor patient response closely and adjust dose accordingly if concomitant use of Xyrem and divalproex sodium is warranted.
NOTE: added ..... information about drug reactions with ibuprofen, diclofenac, and extended-release valproate to Drug Interactions Studies in section 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and 2.4 Dose Adjustment with Co-administration of Divalproex Sodium
- Patients should not drink alcohol when using Xyrem.

Entries in bakery (1)
Dream come true
I have been somewhat dismissive of the cupcake craze, having had too many cupcakes in my time that were all about being cute rather that about tasting good.
Dreamcakes Bakery in the Edgewood area of Homewood has changed my mind. This bakery makes cupcakes that are both beautiful and delicious, in traditional and unexpected flavors.
It was my birthday this week, so I decided to treat myself. After a wonderful lunch at Jinsei Friday (yep, they're serving lunch now, and the tempura green beans, served frites style, rock), I looked up Dreamcakes on my iPhone, since I had heard so much about them.
It took a while to make up my mind. So many flavors of cupcakes! Plus brown sugar pound cake, brownies, and French macaroons!
I decided to stick with cupcakes, since this was for my birthday.
I chose two favorites that, according to their website, are in the case every day: Chocolate High and Caramel Sea Salt Mocha. My other choices were Lemon, and one I forget the name of, but it featured sour cream, poppy seeds and colorful sprinkles.
A few that looked enticing but I didn't get: Peanut Butter Cup (Devil's food cake filled with chocolate ganache & topped with creamy peanut butter buttercream, a chocolate drizzle & a peanut butter cup candy) and Cloud Nine (Angel food cake with a light whipped topping); and Over the Moon (white velvet cake, vanilla cream filling, intense vanilla bean icing and topped with white chocolate curls.) There were banana cupcakes, strawberry cupcakes, blueberry cupcakes, wedding cake cupcakes, cookies & cream. Some cupcakes have a filling in addition to icing, and most have some sort of treat garnishing the top. On the Chocolate High, it was a malted milk ball.
My complaint with most bakery cakes and cupcakes is they taste too much of sugar and fat and not much of anything else. This was not the case with Dreamcakes, where there was a wonderful balance of sweet with each cupcakes' individual flavors as well as salt to counter the sweet. The texture was delightful, as well. No gummy, spongy, or dry and crumbly cupcakes here!
Dreamcakes also does custom cakes for any occasion, including weddings. And they can do them gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free or vegan. (Sorry, no sugar free.) I think I know where I'm ordering this family's next birthday cake!
Afraid the cupcakes didn't last long enough to get photos, but check out Dreamcake's photo albums on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dreamcakesbham.

Eero wants to create mesh network for your home WiFi needs
However the FCC rules on Net Neutrality (we hear you'll like the outcome), we're sure most people consider their home Internet a utility. Connectivity is crucial to thriving in society, as we've migrated our physical existence to the digital world. That's why poor WiFi, especially at home, is rage-inducing. A new startup, Eero, wants to change all that. Their small hardware, when positioned strategically around the home, cobbles together a range extender, repeater, and router into one device. By connecting more than one Eero, you're creating a mesh network, scalable to your wants. and needs.

EXCLUSIVE: This is a real departure for Lionsgate which has mostly specialized in testosterone movies. But chalk it up to the success of female-powered The Hunger Games and the stardom of Jennifer Lawrence. As well as the sensibility of Summit's Erik Feig, who shepherded the Twilight Saga films and is now production president for Lionsgate as well. He's just acquired the rights to The Glass Castle: A Memoir by gossip columnist Jeanette Walls. Lionsgate made the deal with Gil Netter (The Blind Side, Life Of Pi) who will produce. Marti Noxon is attached to write the screenplay. Critically well received when it was published in 2005, Walls' book was a surprise because it focused on her difficult childhood with her "dysfunctional but vibrant" family. It was on The New York Times bestseller list for over 250 weeks, the longest for any memoir.
Jennifer Lawrence In Talks To Star After Lionsgate Buys Rights To Jeannette Walls Memoir
35 Comments
Seems like the right move for Jennifer Lawrence. Great actress role in that book!
Powerful book. That has awards noms all over it if done well.
It's been a while since I read the book, but isn't it basically about a backwoods family in West Virginia? I know it's not the same as Winter's Bone, but very very similar.
Jennifer Lawrence's stardom? I'm sorry, outside of Hunger Games (which would've been huge with any number of actresses), she's opened what movie on her own? That's the only test of stardom that matters. Name one movie the Twilight "stars" have opened.
you are so right.
Because all the Twilight stars have been nominated for Academy Awards too…
It's not awards what's matter when you have the hype these young actors come with nowadays. Jennifer Lawrence might have gained some fans but 13 year old girls are not gonna buy tickets for this movie.
She's not a star.
The Hunger Games was the vehicle that shot her through the roof to stardom. Even if she wasn't a star before THG, she was well on her way to becoming a star based on her critically acclaimed performances. The Hunger Games doesn't just appeal to 13 year olds and her two other projects Serena and The Silver Linings Playbook definitely doesn't either. Both are highly anticipated and will be released before The Glass Castle. People will watch her in this movie. You can count on it.
Awards do matter. She has the perfect mix of box office and indie cred. Jennifer Lawrence is here to stay. Good for her.
I LOVED the Hunger Games, but I've been waiting six years now for this adaptation – so yeah, I'm gonna go see it.
I agree that the film would have opened well no matter who was cast, but if there wasn't a impressive cast, led be the remarkable, talented Jennifer Lawrence it would not have had the staying power (a four week run at number one doesn't happen without a Katniss the fans believe in).
She's perfect! And Marti Noxon for the script… doubly perfect. This is now officially the next movie I'm super psyched to see.
Loved this book! Jennifer Lawrence is perfect for this role. Can't wait to see it!
A perfect role for Jennifer Lawrence: gutsy, intelligent, independent, bittersweet. And like Hunger Games, The Glass Castle has a huge and devoted fan base that will care passionately about the casting.
Awesome news!!….so glad Jennifer Lawrence(an amazing actress) is playing Jeannette Walls as she is perfect for the roll. I'm looking forward to this,the book is wonderful and with Marti Noxon writing the screenplay and Jennifer Lawrence starring, this has Oscar noms written all over it.
She openen with Winter's Bone and was nominated for a little thing called an Academy Award. She also carried this movie and is Hollywood's most promising young new talent. There is no comparison between her and any of the Twilight actors. Watch one of her movies and you will see how talented she is.
The most promising new actress in Hollywood is Saorise Ronan. She DELIVERS big time everytime she's on screen, unlike Lawrence who feels out of place most of the time and other actors NOT NOMINATED FOR THAT LITTLE THING CALLED ACADEMY AWARDS steal the scenes from her.
Do you really think that it can be only one "promising new actress in Hollywood"?? Saoirse Ronan is promising. And Dakota Fanning. And Jennifer Lawrence. Who is "most" promosing – is question of money they make in movies. This year it's HG and Jennifer. Next year maybe The Host and Saoirse. We'll see.
Wish them both luck!
I agree with you Sasha..I mean Ms. Lawrence is a good actress but Ms. Ronan has a more acting range than her. Not hating. I'm just stating my opinion.
I'm sorry, what movies have you seen where "other actors NOT NOMINATED FOR THAT LITTLE THING CALLED ACADEMY AWARDS steal the scenes from Jennifer Lawrence"? Because from what I've seen, she seems to steal the scenes from everyone else.
Just a Saorise fangirl I suppose? In case you haven't noticed, Ronan has got alot on her plate too. She's hardly the pauper here.
Not a slam dunk.
Book reads like a crappier, Lifetime version of Angela's Ashes. And even that was very difficult to pull off.
Director really needs to elevate, adaptation needs to go way beyond book or it will come off as movie of the week schmaltz.
But good luck.
She was very overrated in the Hunger Games.
Not true. The only thing overrated about HG was the director's ability. Jennifer saved his behind with her acting.
Hunger Games was a very overrated movie.
This almost feels typecast… Winter's Bone, The Hunger Games, and now Glass Castle? Poor Appalachian girl struggles through adversity….
I will see her in just about anything, although this sounds like another bleak-ish story of poverty and struggle. I thought she was trying to avoid that. Oh well! A good story is a good story.
I think this will be a great role for Jennifer. People may know her as the girl in the Hunger Games, but she can really act. She portrayed both characters really well in Poker House and in Winters Bone. I think this movie can do really well, but it all depends on the script.
Jennifer Lawrence is a breath of fresh air when compared to the girl who stars in Twilight so why even compare? Not just because she can act circles around her, but because she comes across as intelligent, grateful and actually able to laugh at herself which is a hugely underrated personality trait when it comes to young new talent in Hollywood. She has chops plus she's headlining an enormous franchise. She seems like a pretty smart cookie all things considered. As for opening films, even the biggest stars in Hollywood can't open films if the vehicle isn't right and that's been proven time and again the last couple of years. You guys don't even give this girl a chance before you say she can't do it. Not saying this is the right vehicle to test that theory but plenty of young talent get multiple chances to shine or suck so at least give this girl a moment to see how she does before you say she isn't a star. A lot of people can land in luck and become big enough to pick projects but it's what projects they choose and how they act as human beings when given those kinds of opportunities that end up being the most interesting part of the process. I think this actor may have what it takes so we shall see.
She's a good actress, but her publicist has sold about three different versions of her in the past few years. I find it hilarious that you and others are buying into the "girl next door, breath of fresh air, not like all the other actresses because she hunts" real girl persona.
Jennifer is an amazing and talented actress. Anyone that even tries to compare her to twilight has downs.
She is perfect for the roll. Enough said.
Sasha, why all the caps? Are you trying to make a point or something? Both Jennifer Lawrence and S. Ronan are talented actresses, and both will have long careers. My preference is for J. Lawrence though…her roles appeal to me more. She has been outstanding in everything I've seen her in.
If The Glass Castle somehow comes together and is made into a movie, I will be there opening day; and as long as JL is making movies, I will be there opening day for every last one of them.
First, Glass Castle is a powerful story that grabs teens' and adults' attention. That's a wide moviegoing audience who read the book and will want to see the story on screen. Second, Jennifer Lawrence is spot on for the role of Jeannette Walls. Watch Winter's Bone to appreciate her full talent. So far this movie has everything going for it.
Yes! Finally! I loved this book. I'm seriously excited and happy they have an actress that can give it her all.

In order not to reinvent the wheel, it would be useful to put together a survey
of compilations that already have some of the data.
I just noticed on familytreemaker they are selling 2 cds about Irish immigrants
between 1803 and 1871, and 1846 -1865.
My personal interest lies with the scotch-irish immigration from the earliest
times (When scotch-irish first becomes a meaningful designation. Would that be
1717, the first wave, or should one go back to the trickle that started decades
earlier?) to about 1760, and for good measure extended to revolutionary times.
To the extent the scotch-irish are subsumed within the general irish and or
scottish immigration during the time periods described above, a way of
separating the scotch-irish out from the rest would have to be devised.
Given that "scotch-irish " is a designation first invented in the US, one would
also have to devise an operational/functional definition of who to include, so
that the data base is "pure", something other than a general scottish and or
irish list.
Linda certainly is keeping us on our toes as to what is properly scotch-irish.
To the extent the term is a self-selected, post immigration label of pride,
unrelated to the term in the strict sense, the decision as to who is in and who
is out may be hard to make. I am sure no one wants a DAR organisation for the
The whole point is to simply trace the migration from Ulster (and would this
include only the presbytarians, but also whatever catholic, anglican,
episcopalian, and other denominations fit the pattern of scottish settlements in
Ulster and emigration from those settlements to the colonies?
What about a scottish presbytarian who went to parts other than Ulster and then
came to the colonies? Is that person scotch-irish?
I think just on the issue of definition people would come to blows.

Aztec Tattoo Designs
During the 12th century, Aztec started their struggle of life and in the next 200 years, they became very powerful with a great combatant nation and advanced civilizations. In old times, tattoos have been very popular in the Central America. There are lots of ancient sacred symbols have been seen in Aztec tattoos.
Aztec created very passionate and meaningful symbols. Aztec symbols spell something about their history. Aztec God considered as God of warriors, motivated the Aztec people to make some different designs. In Aztec tattoos, there are a number of tattoos which have the images of their worshipped God and Goddess.
Sun is considered as a powerful God of Aztecs. Aztecs believed that sun is responsible for guarding the heaven. They considered sun as a symbol of rebirth and due to sun they believe if afterlife of humans. Sun is the most common design and everybody wants this design oh his body. Aztec calendars based on the sun and there are several images of sun seen in the Aztec calendar. Aztecs didn't use alphabets to write something, they use an old language called Nahauti. This language contains many meaningful symbols. Sun is considered as a symbol of power because it gives light to whole world. Some Mexicans go for Aztec tattoos because according to them these tattoos are connected with their commanding and hard-working ancestors.

Starbucks, knowing no bounds, has introduced a new beverage size, the Plenta, which rivals a bucket of chicken and takes two hands to hold.
Conceding that it might be a huge headache for municipal dump sites, the Seattle-based company suggests re-purposing as a rain hat, lampshade or yoga block.
Or, you can just try out their new tiny Micra -- also issued on April Fools' Day -- that could serve afterward as a soft boiled egg cup or paper clip holder.
If you buy that, you'll also probably believe that Google's announcement that it has changed its name to Topeka.
Or take a look of possibilities opened up by a new app for the Nokia N900 that allows ground-based cellphones users to control a helicopter. (Not recommended for use after downing a Plenta.)
See Nokia's video above or click here.
The spoofs, however, pale beside offerings in Britain, where April Fools' Day is a cottage industry.
Google's British home page, for example, announces a new service, Google Animal Translate, promising to let you know exactly what your pet is thinking.
The British press, as usual, weighs in heavily:
The Sun reports it has developed the world's first flavored newspaper page and invited readers to lick a square of newsprint "to reveal a hidden taste." Just below the spot to be licked was the fine-print warning: "May contain nuts."
The Daily Telegraph says an Internet service provider plans to use tunneling ferrets to deliver broadband services to remote areas.
BBC radio's Today program ran an item claiming William Shakespeare's mother was French.
So far, none have reached the heights hit by the BBC news program Panorama in 1957 that aired a story on the unusually bountiful spaghetti harvest that year in southern Switzerland.
Straight-faced and convincing, the Associated Press (really!) calls it a classic April Fools hoax.
Update at 11: 48 a.m. ET: With tongue firmly implanted in cheek, LSUSports.net says LSU is teaming up with an artificial turf company to install purple turf in time for the home opener against Mississippi State. The key quote from the "junior executive strength and conditioning coach" is this: "It is really going to prompt muscle confusion in the other team as the brain wants to run on a green surface."
Update at 1:10p.m. ET: Top Army officials unveiled plans to relocate the massive Pentagon building to the western part of Kansas sometime this summer. "This move will be a huge undertaking, but we determined it was a necessary step as we realign our force structure," said one of the Army's top generals.
Update at 1:34 p.m. ET: PCWorld does a nice job of rounding up some of the best spoofs of the day, including a a reported Britain's Indepedent about plans to relocate the Hadron suprecollider from Switzerland to London. The plan would save money by converting the Tube's Circle Line into a particle accelerator. For more on PCWorld's Top Ten List, click here.

Founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius, also responsible for the Nordiska Museet, Skansen is a one-stop cultural tour of Sweden. The 150-plus traditional buildings - homes, shops, churches, barns and workshops - are organised as a miniature Sweden, with buildings from the north of the country at the north, those from the middle in the middle, and so on. Most of the structures, situated along paths lined with elm, oak and maple trees, date from the 18th and 19th centuries. The striking 14th-century Norwegian storage hut that overlooks Djurgårdsbrunnsviken is the oldest; newest is the ironmonger's shop and the co-op grocery store from the 1930s. Most complete is the 1850s quarter, with cobblestoned streets and artisans' workshops, including a baker, glass-blower and potter. Watch them work, then buy the proceeds. Nearly all of the buildings are original and were moved here whole or piece by piece from all over Sweden. Skansen's staff - dressed in folk costumes - spin wool, tend fires and perform traditional tasks (Oct-Apr 11am-3pm; May-Sept 11am-5pm).
Animals from all over Scandinavia, including brown bears, moose and wolves, are kept along the northern cliff in natural habitats. There's also a petting zoo with goats, hedgehogs and kittens, and an aquarium/zoo, Skansen Akvariet, near the southern entrance. An old-fashioned marketplace sits at the centre of the park, and folk-dancing demonstrations - with foot-stamping and fiddle-playing - take place in summer on the Tingsvallen stage.
Hunger pangs can be satisfied at a variety of eating places; the cafeteria-style Restaurang Solliden serves classic Swedish dishes and has a wonderful view of Djurgården and southern Stockholm. The 19th-century Gubbhyllan building to the left of the main entrance houses a Tobacco and Match Museum - it was a Swede who invented the safety match - and an old-fashioned café that serves simple dishes. Skansen is a popular destination on Sweden's national holidays since most of them, including Midsummer and Lucia, are celebrated here in traditional style. The Christmas market is a big draw too. Don't miss the shop by the main gate, which is packed with traditional arts and crafts. In the summer on Tuesdays, be sure to stick around for 'Allsång på Skansen', a singalong concert on the Solliden stage that is broadcast nationally at 8pm.

Dragonborn (also known as Strixiki[4] in Draconic; or Vayemniri,[5] "Ash-Marked Ones", in Tymantheran Draconic) were a race of draconic creatures native to Abeir, Toril's long-sundered twin. During the Spellplague the dragonborn nation of Tymanchebar was placed where Unther had once been, creating the nation of Tymanther, where most dragonborn of Faerûn dwelt in the 15th century DR.[6] Dragonborn had a strong hatred of dragons, who had enslaved them on Abeir.[7][8][9]
Standing on average around 6'2" – 6'8" (1.88–2.03 meters), dragonborn were impressively tall with a heavy weight to match, commonly possessing a mass of 220–320 lbs (100–145 kg). Dragonborn feet ended with three strong talon-like claws with a fourth claw in the back, while their hands were similar with three claws with a thumb replacing the rear claw. A dragonborn's head featured a blunt snout, a strong brow, and reptilian frills on the cheeks and ears. On the back of the head, a crest of hornlike scales formed what resembled a mess of ropy hair. Dragonborn eyes were usually red or gold in hue.[3]
Dragonborn resembled in many ways what their name suggests: humanoid dragons. Dragonborn exhibited many draconic features, including a scaly hide, a large muscular body, and the capacity to use a breath weapon. The scales a dragonborn wore were scarlet, gold, rust, ocher, bronze, or brown in hue, though they in fact bore little correlation to a dragonborn's breath weapon and the scale colors of true dragons. The scales were typically in their greatest concentration around forearms, lower legs, feet, shoulders, and thighs, with a very fine leathery covering over the rest of the body.[3] With the proper training, dragonborn could learn to unlock more of their draconic potential, even to the point of sprouting wings with which to fly, like a dragon.[10]
Like dragons, dragonborn were often mistaken for reptiles, but were in fact warm-blooded draconic creatures. In fact, the internal body temperature of the dragonborn was warmer than that of most similar races, being so hot as to seem feverish to the human touch. While this might seem disadvantageous, the lack of hair and large mouth allowed the dragonborn to displace body heat at an effective rate, meaning dragonborn were comfortable in cold climates while remaining no more vulnerable to heat than humans.[9]
Young dragonborn, who hatched from eggs like their draconic relatives, grew at an impressively rapid rate, much faster than most other races, reaching the equivalent maturity of a human child of 10 by age 3. However, this rate of maturation slowed dramatically within a few short years and they were not considered physically mature for another twelve years. Once they did reach adulthood, dragonborn could expect a lifespan identical to that of humans.[3] Not all dragonborn developed a breath weapon but those that did usually obtained it during these years of growth.[9]
Dragonborn nursed their hatchlings for several months before teeth began to come in. A dragonborn would then slowly introduce soft food and then move towards normal dragonborn eating habits, which contained more meat than was typical of most other races.[9]
Dragonborn had a number of abilities that set them apart. Dragonborn were both stronger and more charismatic than the typical humanoid, traits inherited from their draconic relatives. Dragonborn were also quite durable and when injured had an inner strength that could push them to accomplish even more than when they were at their best. Dragonborn also healed more easily than other humanoids. Most potent of all was a dragonborn's breath weapon, which, like that of a dragon, varied in nature, being acidic, cold, electrical, fiery, or poisonous. However, unlike with dragons, the skin color of a dragonborn did not vary depending on its breath weapon.[3]
Some dragonborn had additional abilities. For instance, while most dragonborn had vision comparable with humans, a number had enhanced vision more similar to that of an elf or eladrin.[2] Other dragonborn could modify their dragon breath, acquiring two or more other damage types. Others learned to even mix one or more elements together to create a composite breath weapon. Some dragonborn learned to use the power dragonborn zeal, which gave gravely injured dragonborn the resolve to get back on their feet and keep fighting for a little longer.[9]
Dragonborn had a well-known dedication to honor, but how deeply rooted this trait was remains debatable. However, all dragonborn tended to view all living things, even hated dragons, as deserving of courtesy and respect. To dragonborn, honor was more than a word and was often considered more important than life itself. Cowardice was not simply undesirable among dragonborn, it was considered outright repulsive.[3]
Part of the roots of this honorable attitude lay in the dragonborn's drive for self-improvement. The draconic nature of dragonborn gave them a strong self-consciousness and a tendency for strong emotions.[9] Both of these combined to make dragonborn particularly wanting for the approval of others. Dragonborn placed great value on the skill of an individual, including themselves. Failing at a task was anathema to dragonborn and as a result they could sometimes push themselves to unhealthy extremes of effort. This aspect of the dragonborn mind meant few of the race took a laid-back approach to any skill or ability, striving always to become the masters of a particular skill, and dragonborn respected those among other races who approached life in the same manner. As a result, most dragonborn adventurers came to their way of life through a desire to prove themselves and win respect from their brethren.[3]
Other races saw dragonborn as proud or even arrogant because of this dedication to excellence and high standards. It was true that dragonborn were typically proud of their race's accomplishments. However, dragonborn were also more than willing to recognize with respect the accomplishments of other races in turn, whether or not the race in question was an ally or enemy.[3]
Moreso than other races, dragonborn often wore their hearts on their sleeves, typically hiding neither anger nor joy. Dragonborn were enthusiastic about life, particularly success, and brooded about failure for only a short time before their disappointment was shaped into a strong drive for improvement. Only a handful of dragonborn actually demonstrated traits that might be considered timid or reserved, and the vast majority of the race had no qualms asking for what they needed or taking time to improve themselves. Trust was a major factor in the lives of all dragonborn and each expected others to be just as open and forthcoming with them as they were.[9]
Perhaps paradoxically, given the often rigid conditions of their society, dragonborn had a strong sense of independence and self-worth. Most dragonborn, however, did not view this as a need to break away from society as other individuals might, but rather to shape it for the better through their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Likewise, dragonborn saw themselves as responsible for those around them, with the group ultimately reflecting on the individual. In this way, the successes and failures of each dragonborn were the successes and failures of the group they associated with, giving dragonborn a very collective sense of self while retaining their individuality. Ultimately, dragonborn held themselves accountable for their choice of allies and poor judgment was considered no excuse for failing to uphold the standards all dragonborn held themselves to.[9]
Good dragonborn were fairly common, but dragonborn were as fallible to evil as any other race. The passionate nature of dragonborn could make the race brutal or vengeful and given to hasty choices that were morally compromising. The dragonborn sense of worth could likewise lead to greed and egotistic selfishness. But while dragonborn could turn to evil, most dragonborn villains retained the scruples and values that defined the race, including respect and courtesy to enemies.[9]

The dragonborn drive for honor carried on into the culture of the race. Among dragonborn, the most horrible crime was oath-breaking; honesty was expected whenever a deal was struck. Commitment to a word was expected to be carried out to the letter and all parties in a transaction were held accountable and responsible for failings. Ultimately, those who fail to meet their word are expected to accept the consequences and, in fact, most dragonborn do.[3] So widespread was this value of honor and honesty that it was commonly believed that dragonborn never broke their word.[8]
Dragonborn society in the nation of Tymanther, partially because of its martial origins, was extremely rigid in its organization, with hierarchical castes and strict laws. The nation was divided into large clans, each organized more like a military organization than a government. However, while the laws of Tymanther might be unforgiving, the nation was also highly meritocratic and Tymantheran leaders were those that had proved their ability for command.[11]
The dragonborn culture of Tymanther had a strong and abiding hatred of dragons, perpetuated by terrifying tales of draconic cruelty and retelling of the dragonborn struggle for freedom on Abeir. Though the dragons of Toril had nothing to do with this horrid past that haunted the race, the dragonborn were not particularly forgiving in this regard, and individuals who took up dragon-hunting for whatever reasons were honored as heroes among the Tymantherans.[7] Many dragonborn also took up the life of a mercenary.[8]
However, though this hatred of dragons was strong, even carrying over to a condemnation of the worship of Bahamut, many dragonborn hoped that life on Toril would help them escape the tragedies of their history. In part because of their distrust of dragons, but also because of a general desire to forge a bright future for their people devoid of war, the Tymantheran dragonborn worked hard to earn the friendship of races around the world and few prejudices other than the hatred of dragons plagued the dragonborn race. Dragonborn efforts were partially successful but the sudden appearance of the dragonborn and the alien nature of their culture made many wary of their motives.[7]
Art and LeisureEdit
Like dwarves, dragonborn were usually practical about the arts. Few items were created for purely artistic reasons, instead having a functional purpose behind them. Despite this, like the dwarves, dragonborn arts were not at all ugly or mundane in appearance and dragonborn craftsmen took time and care in creating new works. As pieces representative of the skill of a craftsman, dragonborn art pieces often possessed a distinctive flair that was draconic or elemental in nature and they were often embroidered with jewels or precious metals.[9]
Not all dragonborn art was purely pragmatic in nature, however, and the dragonborn had a love for jewelry as well. Jewelers, gemcutters, smiths, and minters had a respected place in dragonborn society. Ironically, dragonborn often adorned themselves with baubles of all sorts in subconscious imitation of the very same dragons they resented. Like dragons, dragonborn had a craving for precious metals and jewels that could seem like hoarding, though most dragonborn possessed a culturally instilled restraint rather than engaging in the gross overindulgence that many wyrms did.[9]
Like the dragonborn approach to art, the race's attitude towards leisure activities was very practical, and when dragonborn weren't at work, they were often engaged in sports with a training component to them. Often competitive, these sports often lacked teams, with the most popular games ending in victory for one, clear winner. Many of these sports were also violent, particularly by the standards of many other races, and wrestling was extremely popular with the race, as were, to a more limited extent, blood sports such as gladiator games or pit fighting.[9]
Not all dragonborn sports were so physical, however, and the race was also fond of strategic board games, riddle contests, or improvised storytelling events. In all cases, the dragonborn emphasis for recreation was on the triumph of the individual and the improvement of practical skills.[9]
Clan and familyEdit
Clan and family bloodlines were both preserved among dragonborn and were highly important to dragonborn culture as a whole. Both were different, though the distinction was subtle to non-dragonborn. Family referred specifically to actual blood relatives, as far as could be traced, whereas clan, in the dragonborn context, referred to a confederation of families united by mutual purpose in ages past,[9] organized along military lines.[11] Of the two, clan was usually considered more important and it was to the clan that dragonborn owed their most loyalty,[9] particularly in Tymanther.[12]
Clans were led by wizened, aged clan-masters chosen for their ability to lead who were looked to for guidance by their lieges. Dragonborn did not forget the past, and ties to clan and family determined much about how one dragonborn was viewed by others. All clans had reputations, for good and ill, that often lasted for generations. A dragonborn's actions were expected to bring favor and good will to his or her clan, improving this reputation. For this reason, dragonborn typically went by their clan names rather than their family names, hoping to bring honor and glory to their clan.[9] Dragonborn who worshiped gods were usually expelled from their clans because traditionalist dragonborn believed worshiping such beings was equal to selling themselves to dragon slavery again.[13]
This pressure to either right the wrongs of the past or continue a clan's glory could define a dragonborn's life. Some dragonborn fled from the imposing responsibilities their clan put on them, choosing infamy over such a burden. Others accepted the responsibility or even turned it into an additional drive for their ambition, hoping to one day become the clan-master.[9]
Overall, compared with clan ties, family was secondary and private to dragonborn, as reflected by the fact that most dragonborn family names were kept secrets shared with only the closest friends and other family members. The usual family unit was quite small, often composed of only two individuals: a mated pair or a parent and its child. Dragonborn marriages were arranged by the clan leaders along old pact lines. Dragonborn lacked the association of love with marriage that many races had, instead wedding purely for reproductive reasons. Once a dragonborn child reached 3 years old the wedding was typically dissolved, with the parent who was the same sex as the child rearing it for the remainder of its childhood.[9]
The parent–child relationship during the formative years between the marriage's dissolution and the child's adulthood were incredibly important. Parents, along with other adults from the community, were expected to not simply act as loving caretakers but teachers as well, using storytelling and direct action to instill the virtues of society within a child. In addition to scholarly studies and moral lessons, parents were also expected to focus the drive of a child and teach them basic martial skills for the purpose of defense. Dragonborn believed this in-depth mentorship was necessary not only for the child's education but also for their morality. It was thought that without this imposed discipline, a dragonborn's fierce passions might give way to a feral savagery. Within a large dragonborn community, the parent maintained the position of authority, but other adults were allowed to act as surrogate parents and teachers, giving a young child multiple examples to learn from.[9]
Magic and religionEdit
Because of their position as slaves of the dragon lords for so long, dragonborn did not have a tradition of magic, though they had a significant affinity for certain forms of it. The race's natural abilities were well suited for the path of a warlock, though few dragonborn were willing to actually take up the career since it forced them to deal with powers beyond their control. Some dragonborn warlocks did exist, usually social outcasts or those who had justified it as a form of individuality. Dragonborn arcane spellcasters were, however, far more often wizards or sorcerers, attracted by the often secretive and eccentric ways that both paths involved.[9]
Having come from Abeir, dragonborn had a very different approach to religion than the other races. On Abeir, divine influence was rare and mysterious, contrary to Toril where it had been relatively common in past ages. Since Abeir was dominated by the primordials who were, according to myth, driven into hiding by the mighty dragon lords that reigned over most of the planet, the dragonborn felt less beholden to gods than the members of other races. For this reason, many dragonborn were entirely agnostic, with no strong feelings one way or another about the gods.[6][7]
Dragonborn who did embrace religion, however, were well-suited to the path of a paladin. Making the creed and commandments of a god a code by which they could live was in many ways attractive to dragonborn, so long as they were able to get past their natural aversion to faith. If they did join the faithful, dragonborn could become quite devoted in their chosen church, craving the direction and purpose it gave them. Likewise, paladins, unlike clerics, represented an almost martial career path and one that blended well with the militaristic culture of the race.[9]
The origin of the dragonborn race was uncertain and shrouded in myth. While the origin of the Tel'Quessir as Corellon's children was well known and dwarves firmly believed in their stony origin, dragonborn were unsure whence they came. Some legends of Abeir told that Io, the first and greatest of the dragon gods, created the dragonborn as servants for the first dragons. These stories related that the dragonborn, like dragons, were formed from the essence of both the Astral Sea and the Elemental Chaos, though their nature overall favored the elemental over the astral, just like dragons.[9] A slight variation on this was common among the dragonborn of Tymanther, who believed they were bred by the dragon lords of Abeir for a cruel fate as slaves.[14]
The Platinum Cadre posited an alternative theory in their efforts to spread the worship of Bahamut, that the dragonborn were the ancient creations of the Platinum Dragon. However, most of the order was ridiculed or even openly persecuted for their beliefs since, to the dragonborn of Tymanther, the idea of a good dragon, let alone a good dragon god, was completely alien.[14] Yet another, less popular tale told that Io was killed in the war between the gods and the primordials and that the dragonborn sprang from his spilled blood.[9] However, dragonborn were in fact related to the dragonborn of Bahamut, but only a handful of old dragons knew about that.[15]
Ancient historyEdit
Regardless of the origin of the race, dragonborn had been the slaves of dragons for millennia. Occasionally clans would rise in rebellion but only a few, such as the nation of Tymanchebar, were ever successful.[14]
Modern historyEdit
However, during the Spellplague (beginning 1385 DR), Tymanchebar was believed destroyed, wiped out following the transplantation of its center from Abeir to Toril. Despite this tragedy, the Abeiran expatriates of the new nation of Tymanther remained strong, and by 1479 DR formed a strong and steady homeland for the dragonborn of Toril that began to see acceptance among its neighbors. Some dragonborn migrated from Tymanther to other lands on Toril, though most that were not a part of the nation remain enslaved by dragons, either on Abeir or within the new continent of Returned Abeir.[14]
Dragonborn were most commonly found on Abeir, where the vast majority of the race dwelt. There, as well as in Returned Abeir, dragonborn were enslaved by draconic overlords who ruled over much of Toril's lost twin. However, some dragonborn nations did exist that had wrested themselves away from draconic rule. The largest of these was Tymanchebar on Abeir, whose center of power was wrested away from Abeir by the Spellplague and transplanted to the ruins of Unther. Most dragonborn believed that Tymanchebar had been destroyed and reconquered by the dragon lords of Abeir, no longer having the protection of its mighty citadels and armies.[7]
By 1479 DR, Tymanther, the dragonborn nation formed from this expatriate of Abeir, was the strongest center of dragonborn culture, at least on Toril.[7]
Other than their well-known hatred of dragons, dragonborn had few definitive relationships with other races. The dragonborn of Tymanther had a known tolerance for races of all kinds, extending their courtesy even to races who were generally disliked, such as tieflings.[16] This tolerance did not, however, equate to equality before the law and only dragonborn were allowed to participate in Tymanther's authoritarian government. The strongest friendships the dragonborn forged were with the humans of Chessenta and High Imaskar, even though both nations were traditional enemies.[14] The Tymantherans were, however, distrusting of two of their neighbors, the genasi of Akanûl, with whom they had a long-standing grudge,[17] and the dragon lords of Murghôm, whom they viewed as no more deserving of friendship than the tyrants whom they had fought to free themselves from on Abeir.[14]

Habitation on the banks of the Brunei River can be traced back to the 8th century where there had been settlements similar to those in Kt, located on areas close to the present site of the Brunei Museum.
Seri Begawan was named after the Sultan's late father Omar Ali Saifuddien on 5 October 1970, its original name being Bandar Brunei or Brunei Town. Begawan is a name given to Bruneian monarchs who have abdicated, originally coming from the Sanskrit word for "god": भगवान bhagavān. Seri also comes from the honorific Sanskrit word Sri. Bandar, comes from Persian بندر via Indian languages and originally means "port" or "haven". In Malay bandar has taken on the meaning of "town".

Singing in their dinner jackets
Few of us have to show up for work wearing white dinner jackets, but Aaron Schmidt, Tommy Lueck, Don Lobacz and Reginald T. Kurschner are eager to do so. That's because they are the Four Guyz in Dinner Jackets, a quartet that croons the tunes of the '50s and '60s.
We're talking "Splish Splash," "The Great Pretender" and "Runaround Sue." Plenty of comic shtick is always included.
The guyz have been performing since 2003 at such varied locations as Festa Italiana, the Skylight Music Theatre cabaret and the Marcus Center's Todd Wehr Theater. Friday they open a month-long run in the studio theater at the Sunset Playhouse in Elm Grove.
"Always in Style" is the name of the all-new show, which is making its debut at the Sunset. Expect songs you haven't heard Aaron, Tommy, Don and Reggie sing in the past.
You can order tickets here.
