USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development
The USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD) provides a dynamic learning environment where interdisciplinary education abounds. At SPPD, students choose a program of study from the independent yet related fields of public administration, public policy, health management and policy, urban planning, real estate development and executive leadership. Students are supported by a committed faculty who contribute to the strong sense of community present in the school.
SPPD's mission is to improve the quality of life for people and their communities, here and abroad. Faculty across all its academic programs engage in solving some of society's most pressing issues — and challenge students to do the same. SPPD is renowned for its expertise in areas such as: sustainability and the environment, health care policy, nonprofit management, housing and real estate, transportation, infrastructure, urban development and land use, social policy, governance, civic engagement, community development, immigration and risk analysis, among others.
Defining characteristics of SPPD are the depth of its academic classroom experience and connecting classroom theory to professional practice through practicums, internships and laboratory work locally, nationally and around the globe. Students graduate with the knowledge, skills and experiences to lead in their chosen field of practice.
Today's complex challenges call for leaders who are able to work across disciplines and across the public, private and nonprofit sectors to find solutions. It is for this multidisciplinary reality that SPPD prepares its students.
SPPD students go on to hold high-ranking appointments in our nation's capital, analyze and determine public policy, design new transportation systems, and redesign city, county, state and federal governance structures — in the United States and abroad. They lead health care reform efforts and manage the delivery of our health care services. They oversee operational aspects of our airports, railroad systems and harbors. They build healthy, sustainable communities, lead major nonprofit organizations, and shape our world for the better.

USA to evacuate disgraced Georgian president in case of national coup
The US administration is perfectly aware of the fact that the crisis in Georgia may trigger a civil war in the country. The Georgians may topple their president against the background of a significant price growth in the nation, which took place after the beginning of Georgia's aggression in South Ossetia.
The fate of the Georgian leader has been determined, a source close to the US Embassy in Georgia said.
A helicopter of the US Coast Guard cutter Dallas, which is drifting near the port of Batumi, will evacuate the disgraced Georgian president to the USA in case of a coup.
Even though this can only be placed in the category of pure speculation, as the source is not verified, what sane country leaders would be welcoming Saakashvili with open arms, after what he did?!?!

Danish Feta Cheese Cubes
April 29, 2013—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read, price & availability may have changed.
Feta In Brine. From Denmark.
At Trader Joe's.
In travels throughout Europe, Trader Joe's buyers often saw feta cheese sold in cubes, rather than the blocks and crumbles we've typically featured at Trader Joe's. Among the hallmarks of this presentation was that the cubes were soaked in brine, which brightened the flavor of the cheese and ensured moist, fresh-tasting feta. As much as we love our blocks and crumbles, we knew it was time to make room for some cubes. And so Trader Joe's Danish Feta Cheese Cubes were born.
This is cow's milk feta made for us in Denmark. Inside the tub, the Feta Cheese Cubes are in a basket, which allows the cheese to soak in the brine (a simple blend of water and salt). The basket's handy handles also allow you to easily lift the basket from the tub, allowing the brine to drain so you can take out just what you need, replacing the basket into the brine. This ensures that each cube of Feta will be as fresh-tasting as the first. It's a bit of European tradition combined with a dash of modern convenience, Trader Joe's style.
Enjoy our Feta Cheese Cubes on garden salads, pizzas, pasta salads, in a quiche, or with crackers and fruit. We're selling each 7.1 ounce (drained weight) tub for $2.99, every day. You'll find them in our cheese case.

That doesn't mean the Florida staff will back off trying to help the early enrollees, but it does keep the coaching staff more realistic with expectations of what to expect from the group. They're not used to anything that's happening during spring practice. The tempo and speed of practice is new and the schemes are more complex.
The coaches will continue to teach the early enrollees and wait for them to get comfortable on the field.
"You continue to install," Muschamp said. "You continue to push forward because they need to understand that there's a certain learning curve that they've got to go with and they've never been asked to do this before, as far as playing the game at a faster pace, playing the game at a faster tempo and learning the game at a faster pace and a faster tempo.
"That's what's been really different for all of them. I'm very pleased with all eight guys."
The Gators got some bad news over the weekend that freshman linebacker Alex Anzalone injured the labrum in his right shoulder and will miss the remainder of spring. He injured it during a "freak" play in a tackling drill and is expected back in time for fall camp. Muschamp noted that it's usually a four-month recovery.
Anzalone will miss the rest of the springHe now joins fellow early enrollee linebacker Matt Rolin on the sideline for spring practice. Rolin tore his ACL during his senior season of high school and continues to rehab it.
Even though they won't be on the practice field this spring, there are still positive to the two being on campus, especially at a position of need. The Gators will need some of the freshmen to contribute in the fall because of a thin depth chart, and Muschamp is hopeful this spring can still help them take a step forward when healthy.
"They're in the meetings. They're seeing the tempo, they're hearing the terminology, they're watching the film, they're getting coached," Muschamp said. "Mental repetition is something I talk about all the time. You can get mental reps when you're standing on the side. More than anything, they see the tempo. You can talk to them all about it before they get here, but until they get here and they realize how quickly they've got to think, react, gauge, continue to install and see the volume of things that happen. It's very difficult unless they've truly been through it."
The coaches can only tell so much from the first few days of practice without pads on, but since the Gators have gone through two practices with pads, the running backs are starting to show their ability. Kelvin Taylor is stating the spring behind Matt Jones and Mack Brown on the depth chart, but the freshman is still showing his ability.
Taylor is impressing earlyHe showcased his quick cutting ability during the two open practices last week and continues to stand out to the coaches because of it.
"Kelvin's done some nice things," Muschamp said. "He has made some really nice cuts in the run game. Very pleased with his progress. He's a guy that can stick his foot in the ground, he can get north-south. He's got some physicality. The game's got to slow down for him a little bit right now. There's a lot going on. In the individual drills, when he doesn't have as much thinking to do, you can see the athleticism."
INJURY REPORT: Besides Anzalone, defensive end Jonathan Bullard tweaked his hamstring and will likely be out until March 25. Safety Cody Riggs tweaked his hamstring on Monday and is day-to-day."Cody is a guy that can give you a lot of positions," Muschamp said. "He can play safety. He can play nickel. He can play corner. He is a really good special teams player for us."
Offensive guard Jon Halapio is limited this spring as he recovers from knee surgery. He isn't participating in 11-on-11 drills, but he started doing some individual drills on Monday.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi. Welcome to JustAnswer.
Open the refrigerator and tell me if you can feel cool air being circulated into the refrigerator. Feel around the top of the frige section for this.That is where it will be strongest.
Also need to know if there is any frost build up ast the back of the freezer section (inside not outside).
Ok you probably have an automatic defrost system that has failed.
What you can do is use a hair dryer and direct the warm air into the louvers/vents of the freezer compartment. Run it for at least 15 minuets. That will manually defrost the evaporator coils behind the back cover of the compartment and allow air to Be blown over them by the freezer fan and into the refer section.
If that works then you will need to call for service. This is not a job for an untrained person. If you test the wrong circuit you can cause more damage than good.
The manual defrosting can be done multiple times if you need to. Each defrosting will give you about 5 days of proper cooling before things start to ice up again.
If the evaporator cpoils are iced up no air can be blown over them by the evporator fan (freezer fan). If the air cnt be blown past the coils it wont make it to the refrigerator section.
All of your units cooling comes from the evap coils at the back of the freezer section.
There is an air damper at the top of the refrigerator. That is the only other thing that would stop the air flow. It is electronicly controled and besides the defrost system components it is the next biggest failure in this model series.

Helping Others
I have decided to go back to school to achieve my degree where I will be able to utilize it and have the opportunity to open my own non-for-profit transitional house. Where I would be able to help all of the offenders that are being released from incarceration and have no place to go and are trying to make a difference in there lives as well as the community. With this transitional house I would also help those that have addictions that they are trying to fight off and need the extra help to make sure that they will be able to achieve this goal. This has been my dream to do this and I am going to go all the way to make sure that this is done because there is not a lot of places out here that are willing to help former offenders

Very few elite athletes have experienced some of the highs and lows that Tyler Hansbrough has in the last two years. The 2007-2008 consensus national Player of the Year came into the league as the thirteenth pick in the 2009 NBA Draft with some lofty expectations.
An inner ear infection, coupled with a concussion, limited his rookie season to just 29 games, in which he averaged a respectable 8.5 points per game and just under five rebounds a game. His PPG went up only three points in 2011, but he came on strong in the second half of the season, posting double-digit scoring in a stretch of 13 consecutive games. That run included a career high 30 points against the Knicks in March, by which time he had scrapped and clawed his way into the Pacers starting lineup in typical "Psycho T" fashion.
It certainly caught the eye of Indiana interim coach Rick Vogel: "You see how scrappy and hard this team is playing. It really all starts with Tyler and Jeff Foster, and the energy that those guys bring every time they are on the basketball court. They play so hard, that the energy is contagious through the rest of our guys. So that's the biggest factor with Tyler."
In the first part of our interview, Hansbrough reflected on his two seasons in Indiana.
What's it been like to finally get in a full season?
"It's been a roller coaster from that aspect, of dealing with trying to come back from the biggest injury of my life, and learning that you're not going to come back immediately and be your old self. It's going to take time. It took me time to kind of work through things and finally get in the rotation, and start helping the team and finally move into the starting lineup.
"Now I feel great. It's been everything. This is what the NBA is supposed to be about. Playing and competing and winning ball games, and now I feel like I'm part of the team, and helping to do that."
Interview Excerpt:
"Nothing. I was so injured I wasn't focused on basketball; I was trying to be happy and get healthy. I wasn't thinking about what I could do to help the team. None of that was on my mind; I was so out of it."
How do you feel about being able lead with your toughness and "scrappiness?"
"That's kind of what I've always done. Even back in my days at Carolina. Come out there and hustle. Try to get loose balls, and make those huge energy plays and give the team a boost. I finally feel like I'm doing this at the NBA level."
What kinds of things have you been working on with your game?
"Expanding my game as far as being able to use my off hand around the basket, I would say expanding my jump shot. It's something that has really helped me. The more I can get used to shooting that mid-range, and possibly moving back and building some NBA three-point range would better my game."
What did you find as some of the biggest differences between college and the NBA?
"I think just learning the defensive schemes, and getting used to the NBA defensive style. There are so many different things you do off of pick and rolls, and it's a learning process. Honestly, the hardest thing about the NBA is knowing all the plays. There are so many plays, and so many things that you have to know on the fly. Just memorizing all those plays."
What good advice have you received from veterans?
"Jeff Foster is always telling me to keep working hard and keep preparing, and things will come your way."
You do know the guy in the McDonald's commercial with LeBron James and Dwight Howard?
"Yeah. [chuckles] I definitely know who that guy is. [team President Larry Bird] He's my boss. I don't joke with him or anything. It's strictly [business.] If he's says something to me, I'm going to listen to it and change my game."
What's it like having someone such as Larry Bird around?
"It's great, because any tip he gives you you're going to listen to. He's been there, done that. You have to listen to a guy like that, but he's my boss, and if he wants me to do something for the better, I'm going to do it."
For his part, Bird acknowledged Hansbrough's role with the team during a press conference last year. "He's very valuable to what we're trying to do here. I'm not gong to sit here and tell you he's going to be a superstar, but he's going to be a very good player." Bird added, "He can play in this league." Of that there is no longer any doubt.
Check back tomorrow for Part II…

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
told me and her parents she would pay half rent .. should i get this is writing before i go to small claims court?
If you are able to get the promise in writing that will be helpful. If not, you can still pursue the verbal promise. It's just harder.

Dear tenant:
You already have her promise to pay the rent in the lease you both signed with the landlord. You are not damaged until you pay all the rent remaining on the lease without her contribution. She will have a defense based on the fact that even though she moved out leaving you with the entire burden, you also made a promise to pay the rent to the landlord in full. Her promise to pay the rent is independent of your promise to pay the rent to the landlord in full, and you had the benefit of use of the entire leasehold to yourself in her absence.
As of now, she does not owe anything to you. I doubt that you will freely obtain a confession of judgment from her, but if she agrees to confess to the debt, make certain that you engage an attorney to prepare the agreement. You would only enforce that confession or promissory note, if she does not pay.
Good luck.
The answer provided to you is in the nature of general information. The general proposition being that you should try to avoid a bad outcome if you can.Ask a similar question
It would be most beneficial to you if you had it in writing that she agreed to pay 1/2 the rent to you. As it stands, since both of you signed the lease you are each obligated to pay the rent in full to the landlord. Since you are the only one living there you have the entire benefit of occupancy and therefore a court may not award damages to you. If, on the other hand, you were to stop paying the rent the landlord could look to both or either of you for the rental payment.

Walking tall to raise hope
Date published: 31 August 2011
A ROYTON woman set to undergo cancer treatment at the same time as her mother will pound the pavements on Saturday to raise funds for the Christie Hospital.
Kimberly Aspin (24), from Brendon Hills, Royton, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last month following an operation to remove a lump in her neck.
She is due back at Christie's, in Manchester, for three days of radioactive iodine treatment at the end of September, the same time that her mum Christine Aspin (50) is finishing her third bout of chemotherapy treatment for ovarian cancer.
But before then, Kimberly plans to take part in the 10k Walk of Hope event to raise funds for the world-renowned cancer centre.
Kimberly, a care worker at Spring Meadows Children's Centre, said: "I've taken part in fundraising events like the Race for Life before but I signed up for the Walk of Hope in April because a few girls at work were doing it.
"Three months later, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
"The fact that my mum and I are both being treated at Christie makes it more important to raise money. My mum is doing really well and she will be cheering me along on the day."
Kimberly first visited doctors after feeling unwell in February with a bad chest and throat.
Further investigation found she had a lump in her neck which, along with glands in her neck, were removed in July. As well as daily medication, the iodine treatment at the Christie will ensure Kimberly is free of any cancer cells following her operation.
She said: "The Christie hospital is brilliant. It's never nice having to go there but they are so welcoming.
"You see the work that they do first-hand and you know it's worth it in the long run.
"I'm expected to have a normal life after finishing my treatment and the fact that my cancer is 90 per cent curable is down to the research they do."
The annual Walk of Hope event is a 10k walk through Cheshire's Tatton Park to raise money for the leading cancer centre.
"Coronation Street" favourite Sally Dynevor, best known as Sally Webster on the Street, will be joining willing walkers on the day.
The Oldham actress was treated at The Christie for breast cancer in 2009.

What is the tone of A Separate Peace?
- print Print
- list Cite
2 Answers
A Separate Peace has a dark tone throughout the novel because of the back and forth feelings that Gene has about Finny. It's a good vs. evil theme which transpires through the carefree innocence that occurs in the summer time and their feelings of freedom--and then takes the reader through the loss of innocence when not only does Finny get hurt, he eventually dies because of surgery complications.
The tone almost gives off a sense of foreboding (fear of what's to come). The reader feels for Gene, and is struggling right along with him and his jealousy in the beginning and his guilt throughout the rest of the story. This is not a happy, light story. It's intense.
Is there a quote you can find in the novel that indicates tone?

I was recently building some scripts to alternate shadow copy storage locations (long story). In so doing, I found that pretty much anything I would normally do in the GUI is exposed at the command prompt using the vssadmin command. The first and one of the most important things that you can do is list settings. This includes the following:
You can create a shadow copy of a volume using the vssadmin command along with the create shadow verb. You would also need to specify which drive you will be creating a shadow copy of using the /for option. For example:
vssadmin create shadow /for=C:
Once you have created a shadow copy you can then add more storage to it using the vssadmin add shadowstorage command. Here, you'd indicate the volume to enable shadow copy /for and then the volume to put the shadow copy storage /on and finally the maximum size with /maxsize, as follows:
vssadmin add shadowstorage /for=c: /on=d: /maxsize=1tb
Once you have storage, you can also resize it. To do so use the resize verb and then mimic what you did previously, when adding shadowstorage but replacing the maxsize variable with a new number. For example:
vssadmin resize shadowstorage /for=c: /on=d: /maxsize=100gb
In addition to being able to resize the storage you can also delete it using the delete verb along with shadowstorage. For example:
vssadmin delete shadowstorage /for=c: /on=d:
And finally you can also delete shadows themselves
vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: /all
Or to just delete the oldest:
vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: /oldest
Or finally, to just delete one from the list of shadows (where the X's are replaced with your shadow id obtained using the list shadows):
vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: /shadow=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
Still can't seem to make it work with Samba on Mac OS X, but that's another story for another day… 🙂

I love long kisses, bear hugs, thoughtful dialog and silly banter. I enjoy getting together with a group of friends to share our experiences, socialize and forge stronger bonds.
I'm not really into the bar scene these days, but would prefer places like parks, interesting shops and scenic destinations what are, hopefully, warm.
So a little bit on the polyamory thing. So many people have so many definitions of what that means, that it makes sense to explain what it means to my wife and I:
Quite a while ago we decided that monogamy was an artificial barrier, a cultural creation to address problems that no longer exist. We were and are very happy, but wanted to be able to explore and develop meaningful romantic relationships with others. Neither of us are interested in short term flings, casual sex, or helping someone cheat on their significant other(s).
So if you're lying to your wife or significant other about being on here, move along.
Since we're looking for relationships that have long term potential, it makes sense that anyone new would get to know both of us. Now we're not looking for group sex, we're both straight and that's not the goal. But it should be possible for someone new to socialize with the both of us in platonic ways.
Often I am asked about how a polyamorous relationship with me would be more limited than a traditional one, so here are a few ways:
1. Law does not (currently) allow for legal marriage to more than one person, so I cannot offer that. Though it is possible that someone I date may already be married or decide to become married while still dating me, which is all groovy.
2. Friends and family may have problems with it. Not everyone understands or agrees with polyamory. Society tends to dismiss the idea that polyamory can work, and modern media usually depicts it failing in horrific ways.
3. I decided some time ago to not biologically father my own children. I do like kids, and don't mind dating people with them. I've been told more than a few times how I am a positive male role model. But I cannot offer children to someone I date.
4. Nobody I date will be the only woman in my life.
In most other ways there aren't any real limits. It is conceivable that someday new partners may even live with us and share in the experiences that typical married couples have.
So if you're open minded and interested in sharing some time, and interested in what you read in my profile, let me know. I always respond one way or the other, and am happy to answer any questions you might have!
In the past I've been a shoe store stock boy, sheet metal prototyping facility worker, dish dog, K-Mart employee, Subway sandwich artist, pay-phone salesman (never did sell a one), professor's assistant (data mining madness), data entry dude, pizza delivery guy, online purveyor of women's shoes and various other arcane pursuits that I'm sure aren't coming to mind.
I am a shoulder to cry on, a strong loyal defender of those I love and cherish, and generous with my time and energies with my friends and family.
My musical tastes range wildly depending on mood and atmosphere, but include diverse genres such as industrial music, classical music and modern rock.
When it comes to books, there are 2 ways I enjoy them. One side of the coin are those books that discuss political concepts either through fiction or analysis. A good example would be Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, or Unintended Consequences by John Ross. If familiar with those works, you probably already know I foster a libertarian streak a mile wide, and have great respect for personal responsibility and self made individualists.
The other side of the coin are fiction indulgences like the works of Tom Clancy, Dean Koontz, Robert Heinlein and various Science Fiction works by other authors.
Some of my Robert Heinlein favorites are Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
Some of my favorite Robert Heinlein quotes:
"A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill."
"Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events. "
"Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done."
"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy."
"Most moral philosophers consciously or unconsciously assume the essential correctness of our cultural sexual code-family, monogamy, continence, the postulate of privacy that troubled you so, restriction of intercourse to the marriage bed, et cetera. Having stipulated our cultural code as a whole, they fiddle with details- even such piffle as solemnly discussing whether or not the female breast is an 'obscene' sight! But mostly they debate how the human animal can be induced or forced to obey this code, blandly ignoring the high probability that the heartaches and tragedies they see all around them originate in the code itself rather than failure to abide by the code."
1. Polyamory doesn't freak you out
2. You find me attractive and interesting
3. You want to know more
4. If you're married, your spouse knows you're on here
5. You're ultimately looking for a long term relationship
Do *NOT* message me if:
1. All you want is recreational sex
2. You do not have 1 or 2 days a week to date
3. You're more than 75 miles away from Milford, MI
4. Socializing with my wife and I together would bother you

"The work we've done with Jenny over the last several months – creating new systems, clarifying roles, and developing plans – has both improved efficiency and increased morale across our organization. Working with her has also educated us about the vast network of resources that are available to non-profit organizations seeking to become more effective, efficient, and professional in areas such as HR, financial management, program administration, and board development. My one great regret is that we didn't work with someone like her many years earlier."
- Executive Director, education and criminal justice nonprofit, Marin, CA
"Jenny has a certain steadiness and calmness to her that grounded me to our objectives during our sessions. I was looking for a job for the first time in four years, which seemed daunting and caused me to think about my overall life trajectory. Jenny gave me tools to focus my thoughts and held me accountable to next steps that we determined together. She's an excellent cheerleader, task maker, and friend. I highly recommend Jenny; even just an hour coffee with her leaves you feeling confident and capable."
- FK, San Francisco, CA
"Jenny helped me think outside of my own self-created box. She helped me to be more open to new possibilities I had always thought and assumed were impossible. Without her I know I would still feel stuck. She was encouraging, comforting and challenged me in a safe way! I would highly recommend her!"
- JJ, Berkeley, CA
"Jenny is an incredible life coach. In our time together, Jenny has helped me to discover options and possibilities I didn't even know existed. She challenged me to think beyond my traditional assumptions and self limits, in a way that felt encouraging and empowering.
I felt like I could say anything to Jenny and not be judged. In fact, I felt accepted for who I am and who I'm trying to become. And Jenny is helping me be that person, by giving me the confidence and tools to help me find the right paths. More importantly, Jenny has an incredible ability to listen, which is an underappreciated skill until you meet with someone like her who really is an expert. She was able to pull insights from our discussions and create those 'aha' moments that are priceless in self development.
In life, everyone needs someone to help them along and I'm so grateful to have found Jenny as my coach. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone wanting a helping hand in working toward continuous improvement in your outlook, your relationships, your goals, or any other aspect of your life or work."
- ENC, Washington, D.C.
I grew up in New York City, the youngest child of a large family. A fan of walkable and well-planned cities, I have also lived in Chicago, D.C., Boston, Portland, and Beijing. I now live in San Francisco — a place I had visited a few times but where I knew virtually no one when I arrived in 2008 from thousands of miles away. I've spent the past five years building a great community of friends and a diverse professional network, creating and directing a nonprofit program on urban community redevelopment, becoming a professional coach, and exploring the nooks and crannies of my adopted city. In all of these endeavors, I always seek to help others improve the quality of their lives and deepen their engagement with their communities.
I've directed large programs at two national nonprofits, Teach For America and Enterprise Community Partners, opportunities that allowed me to design and teach award-winning leadership development courses and design and manage multi-faceted programs for maximum impact. What I've realized from these experiences, as well as my work at Teach for China in Beijing, is that I love helping people and organizations better understand the challenges they face and how to solve them. I've coached new managers on their project planning skills and how to balance their new workload. I've advised organizations on the design and implementation of new staff onboarding and performance management systems. I've coached executive directors on organizational culture change and core values. These experiences are the essence of my passion — helping drive positive change through strong relationships and new perspectives.
Over the years, I've focused a lot on my professional life: I have a bachelor's degree in urban studies and history from Northwestern, a master's in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School, a mini-MBA from Tuck, and a certification in core strengths coaching from San Francisco State University. And after losing my job in the heart of the recession in late 2008, I bounced back to receive three promising job offers at the same time. Three years later, after leaving my job in late 2011, I successfully started a business and traveled the world. I bring these experiences to my coaching and consulting practice, where my goal is to help every person I interact with to build on their strengths and approach challenges with optimism and curiosity.
I can be reached at email@example.com. Hope to hear from you!

Not Our Best Cruise: Celebrity Century Cruise Review by wooduser43
Overall Member Rating
Not Our Best Cruise
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We were impressed with the embarkation procedures and efficiency as we left Ft. Lauderdale for our 15-day cruise through the Panama Canal, with stops in Columbia, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico and eventual docking at San Diego. Our stateroom, while comfortable, modernized, spacious for our needs and spotlessly clean, was picked for its location aft and lower level in order to minimize any discomfort from the usual ship's rocking and rolling. Unfortunately, stateroom 4098 proved to be the "room from hell"! Beginning the first night, we were awakened after midnight by frequent and intermittent loud noises from above. At first we assumed we had some lively cruise mates above and the noise would eventually cease. Not so. The loud shuffling, rolling, bouncing, banging and running water noises persisted every morning More between midnight and 5:00 AM - for the duration of the cruise. Some nights were better than others, but the end result was chronic sleep-deprivation and no satisfaction after three respectful complaints to Guest Services.
Even though we had checked the floor layout diagrams in the ship's literature before booking, we had no indication that the blank space shown directly above 4098 on the 5th. deck was the ship's galley. Obviously, the tile floor, metal workstations and early morning food prep by the galley crew would keep passengers directly below awake. Our complaints to Guest Services were acknowledged and recorded. The young folks were appropriately kind and concerned about our discomfort, but unable to do anything but ask the galley chief to have his crew work quieter. They claimed there were no other staterooms available to which we could be moved, but did make an insulting offer to give us earplugs. No one in higher levels of authority made any effort to apologize for the unpleasant experience or indicate they were looking at ways to resolve the excessive noise for future passengers in that block of rooms.
Aside from that "big" issue, the only other faults with the cruise were:
- Terribly uncomfortable pillows in stateroom.
- Cold food from Island Cafe, due to length of food service area & distance back to table.
- Requested table for 6 for formal dining, assigned to larger table. Request for reassignment landed us at a table for 2 with only each other to talk to the entire cruise! Our fault for not asking for a second change.
- Only one of six shore excursions did not live up to its brochure description. Most were reasonably priced and offered real value and unique cultural experiences in each country. The Puerto Vallarta city tour and shopping experience indicated a brief stop for light refreshments, but turned out to be an hour-long stop at an expensive restaurant, with no safe area for walking or exploring the beach for those not interested in paying the high restaurant prices.
- Long lines and delay at disembarkation -- not fault of Celebrity -- but due to unusual, on-board customs/homeland security procedures.
- Although, in general, the food in all restaurants was above average in quality, the desserts in the Island Cafe seemed to be more appearance than quality. Too much gelatinized, pudding and mousse filling. The bread pudding tasted more like custard. There was an abundance of white breads and rolls, but a rare showing of dark, whole wheat and healthier breads. The daily appearance of fresh fruits could have been improved by the occasional rotation of papaya and mango into the mix.
The positives about this cruise experience outnumbered the negatives, and would have convinced us to cruise with Celebrity again, were it not for the lack of any serious, professional response to our complaints about the stateroom noises. We would have been more impressed if we had been moved to another room, someone in real authority had offered a sincere apology for the sleep deprivation or if we had been offered even minor compensation or credit on our next Celebrity cruise. Which, regrettably, will not happen due to the ready availability of other attractive cruise line options with similar itineraries and prices.
In all fairness, however, my wife and I agree to being impressed with the following:
- The ship's crew, especially Activity Director, John, were exemplary.
- Entertainment was on par with our experience on other ships and generally enjoyable.
- The Captain's and Celebrity attention to sanitation and cleanliness were commendable.
- There appeared to be a genuine concern for the health and safety of all passengers shown by the ship's crew.
- Our headwaiter, Mandy, and his assistant, Allen, were exceptionally attentive to the two lonely passengers seated at the two-top in their area!
- We were blown away by the two on-board experts who conducted daily seminars and Q&A sessions on the Panama Canal and NASA's space shuttle and station program. Kudos to Uncle Marty and Larry Kusnitz for their knowledge, visual aids, communication skills and sensitivity in dealing with all of us who hung on every word.
- Century cruisers with a hearing impairment, will be pleased to know Guest Services will coordinate with the main theatre AV staff to loan hearing assist devises for the duration of the cruise. This service greatly improved my wife's ability to hear performers and guest lecturers in the theatre.
In summary, we were not thoroughly dissatisfied with our Century cruise. Perhaps our negative views were heightened by our sleep deprivation and frustration at feeling our complaints were not being taken seriously. This is, at least in our minds, a serious breach of a cruise line's responsibility to it's paying customers and bad public relations. Accordingly, we will refrain from using Celebrity cruise lines for future cruises. Less

Cabin review: 044098 Ocean View
As indicated in our review of the cruise, cabin number 4098 should be avoided at all costs, unless one is totally deaf. While we are careful to avoid cabins too near the engine room or adjacent to elevators, we didn't dream the cruise line would position passenger cabins directly below galley work areas that would be in use after midnight. A review of deck plans always reveals elevator locations, engine areas are always to the rear and below and late night entertainment areas can be easily identified by even cursory review of deck plans. However, we have now learned to avoid rooms directly below what appears as undesignated, white space on the above deck floor plans. Galley prep areas should be clearly identified. Their tile floors and metal workstations make resonating noise below inevitable.Read All Ocean View (04) Reviews >>

Zero + Maria Cornejo Resort 2015
If you follow Maria Cornejo on Instagram, then you know she was in Jamaica earlier this year. "I was really inspired by all of the colors and the clashing and the houses and the kids in school uniforms there," she said at yesterday's resort preview. "There wasn't a lot of color in Fall/Winter, so we thought we'd make ourselves sick with it this season. Let's just gorge ourselves on color. How mad can we be?" Quite, it seems. The collection has a pale blue to match the uniforms Cornejo mentioned above, a shocking orange sherbet, as glowy and hard to accurately capture with words as the best Caribbean sunset, a tropical lime-green, and a turquoise-ocean blue. With very Zero clothes that slip over heads and get us dressed in a single swoop, the collection is exactly what we want to wear on an island vacation.
But Cornejo, knowing too well that resort has to deliver much more than a great getaway (it hits stores in November and doesn't go on sale until early summer), offers plenty for women to wear in the city, too. Black, of course, but also darker executions of the collection's cool Jamaican-mask prints will be there before and after her customers take their holidays. Some of these more staple-y pieces have a new trick: A subtle "fin" attached to the front hemlines of shifts and dresses. "It's not a ruffle," Cornejo asserts. "It's like a tiny little wave. It's a little flirty." Flirty? Maria? But, like the ease of unclingy clothes and the elegance of a gorgeous jacquard (as seen in this and all of her collections), it suits her beautifully, we'd say.

'Relaxation for the Bereaved- Heal the Grief'
Bereavement is never easy, whether it is a close family member, a wonderful friend or a beloved pet.
If you recently have lost someone close to you and are struggling to sleep because you feel so overwhelmed with everything you have to do, and are struggling to make sense of your feelings, then this letter has come at just the right time for you.
When you have lost someone close, life can seem very bleak, dark and bewildering. There is so much to do, and so many people seem to be telling you how to think and feel and think and giving out advice on the best way to go forward with your life. Or people avoid you because they don't know what to say to you.
It may be a few hours, a few days, a few months or even a few years since you lost that special person or beloved pet and you seem to be OK and then suddenly something reminds you of them and you find yourself welling up with tears.
Just because time has passed, and to all intents and purposes, you seem to be "getting on with your life" does not mean that the pain has gone or the raw grief has lessened in any way.
Have you noticed that people around you don't know what to say to you, so they'll either tell you to "pick yourself up and get over it, life goes on" or they'll change the subject or they'll say something completely insensitive like "well, they reached a good old age, they had a good life".
If people ask you how you are feeling, they often don't really want to know and prefer for you to say something like, "Fine, thanks. I'm OK".
You may have millions of thoughts going round in your head ranging from guilt because of words said in haste to thinking of all the words you wish you'd had the opportunity to say. From blaming yourself or someone else for taking a precious loved one away from you to anger, frustration to feeling of total overwhelm and fear of the future, and find yourself crying uncontrollably.
Maybe you have been so concerned with everyone else that you have not given yourself the time and space to make sense of your feelings and to allow yourself to grieve.
If you are so stressed you can't sleep and your health, work and life in general is suffering because you can't concentrate, then there is a solution for you.
It is vitally important to find ways to release these feelings, so that you can begin the healing process and move forward with your new life.
My father-in-law conducts numerous funeral services and my uncle is a funeral director, and both have said that there is not a product to help the bereaved to simply get some much needed sleep.
This time I had more resources to help me through my grief.
I knew I needed to allow myself to really express my pain and to allow all of the feelings and emotions to come to the surface.
Since my Nan died, I have written pages and pages in my journal about her, our relationship and everything I felt towards her and what she meant to me. Every page is tear-stained and most of it is totally unreadable. That does not matter because it is for my eyes only.
I have also been listening to my recording "Relaxation for the Bereaved- Heal the Grief" and I have found huge comfort in it.
This has been not only from being able to relax and get some rest, but also from being able to communicate with my Nan and feel great comfort from her presence.
I know she is with me and I feel that I have been able to finally say the things I desperately wanted to say to her whilst she was alive and never did.
I wanted to tell her how much I loved her and appreciated her and everything she did for me and somehow it never seemed appropriate to say that to her whilst she was alive.
I feel now that everything has been said and that she can truly rest in peace.
I can think about her and talk about her without getting upset.
I can celebrate her life and the wonderful memories of her.
'Relaxation for the Bereaved- Heal the Grief'
This Recording is Completely Unique
It takes you on a beautiful journey, where you can gently release all the unhelpful feelings, even if you don't really know what they are.
The gentle music and soothing voice gently guides you to a magnificent special healing place, where you can come to terms with your feelings and allow healing to begin to take place.
It is also a place where you can connect with your deceased love one, if you choose to in your own time and space.
Take some time for yourself, let go of all the fears and worries of the unknown or of your new life. Let go of the sense of numbness and shock. Let go of the fears of rushing into inappropriate decisions.
Let go of worrying about what other people will think or say about you. Let go of the feelings of anger, guilt, blame or of overwhelm, inadequacy or inability to cope.
Allow yourself to be pampered in a place, where YOU are the most important person and you can feel and express any feeling or emotion you choose without judgment from anyone else or without fear of upsetting someone
Fill yourself up with all the things that you may need on your journey into your new life, such as love, self acceptance, courage, strength, self confidence and peace.
Or if you want to just sleep and de-stress. Whatever is right for you is perfect.When you awake at the appropriate time, you will feel refreshed, calmer, better able to think more clearly and to concentrate on what you need to do. You will feel more confident to take the next steps that are right for you and much less inclined to make decisions based on the advice of others.
You will feel more confident in your own abilities to cope with everything that needs to be done.
Here are some of things other people have said about this gorgeous audio relaxation
I am sure most of you would agree, the most traumatic and heart wrenching is the death of a child- in whatever tragic circumstances that might be. It is against the natural order of things.
Unless you have been there, most of us, especially those of us who have children, could not even begin to imagine what that must be like for the families.
For most of us, our heart really goes out to those who have lost a child.
Similar relaxation CDs, which are music only, without any guided relaxation, without any built in healing and without the opportunity to support bereaved families, who have lost a child can be as much as $30 and you may not get much real comfort or the opportunity to contact your deceased loved one.
Guided relaxation is usually only available as hypnosis CDs, where you may not feel totally in control. CDs will usually start from around $45 and one individual session with a hypnotherapy would cost at least $80.
If you were to go to bereavement counseling you would normally expect to pay around $50 for one session or if you went to a medium or clairvoyant, again you would pay around $50 for one session, with no guarantee of feeling better.
With this package you have deep relaxation, healing, a release of all the negative feelings and an opportunity to contact your deceased loved one.
The aim of this recording is to help you to pick up the pieces of your life, when you have been bereaved, and to take the next courageous steps into your new life.
Only USD $11.99
Beautiful relaxation pictures as a lovely screensaver for your desktop.
Five beautiful pictures as a screensaver for your computer desktop.
When you are feeling stressed during the day, just pause for a few minutes, let your screensaver come up on your computer. Allow yourself to drift off to a wonderful relaxing place, take a few deep breaths, let go of the tension of the day, count slowly to 10 and feel fully refreshed and revitalized.
I understand that this is a very difficult time for you and probably a very expensive time as well. I am offering this package at the ridiculously low price of only $9.97 because I want to help ease your pain, and to get this audio into the hands of as many people in pain as possible.
This is a very powerful recording and the more bereaved people who can listen to it, the more it can help them to rebuild their lives.
This recording could help with your healing process and help you put your life back together.
With this audio download, you can be relaxing to this beautiful recording in minutes. It comes as an MP3 download.
With love and abundant blessings

James Scavone
Missing since July 5, 1999 from International Waters, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
James Scavone, of Connecticut, was vacationing with friends on board the Carnival Cruise ship, "Destiny," between Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Jim was on the trip with his best friend, and twelve members of his family, celebrating his recent graduation from Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
They boarded the ship in the afternoon of July 4, 1999. All of them had dinner that night at 8pm. About 10pm, they visited the casino. They then went to the Point After disco club. They had several drinks at the club and danced with several other passengers.
He was last seen by friends at approximately 1:00 am leaving a disco. He told friends he was on his way to the bathroom. The last bar drinks charged to his account were recorded shortly after midnight and electronic room records indicate that he never returned to his cabin.
He wasn't reported missing until several hours later that day, after his companions became alarmed that he had not turned up.
The ship notified the U.S. Coast Guard sometime in the afternoon of July 5, 1999. A search of the ship by crew members and a subsequent search of the ocean between Miami and San Juan by the Coast Guard turned up no clues.
The ship docked in San Juan on the afternoon of July 6, 1999, at which time the FBI became involved.

George agreed, but as Cornwallis declined the offer Dundas remained home secretary.
Not long after, the Irishman received a message from Mr. Dundas to attend at his office.
Di, who was sitting with Mrs. Dundas, suddenly perceived them coming up the room together.
Indirectly Pitt and Dundas were responsible for these disasters.
"Good watch-dog, I suppose," suggested Dundas, striving to enter into the spirit of her talk.
It is usual to blame Pitt or Dundas for the delay in those preparations.
"Miss Dundas would have married me but for the return of your scapegrace son," cried Ormsby, flashing out.
Neither Dundas nor Wilberforce moved in the highest circles.
He observed the stranger with only slight interest, till Dundas drew up his chair opposite at the table.
The secret is hard to fathom; but Pitt and Dundas were clearly too credulous.

Meta-analyses of arthritis self management education (SME) generally concludes it has modest, time limited effects. However, past analyses combined a variety of SME and examined only pain and disability. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Stanford's Arthritis Self Management Program (ASMP) using meta-analysis.
7 Electronic databases (i.e. Medline, EMBASE) were searched using arthritis education-related keywords; reviews, reference lists, and expert recommendations guided hand searches to locate missed or gray literature.
All ASMP studies were included, regardless of language or delivery mode, if conducted in an English speaking country, containing data on at least 1 primary outcome, and reported in English. Primary outcomes: Fatigue (FAT), Self Rated Health (SRH), Pain, Self Efficacy (SE), Health Distress (HD), Physician Visits (MD-V). Secondary outcomes: Disability (DIS), Social/Role Limitations (LMTS), Anxiety (ANX), Depression (DEP), Aerobic Exercise (A.EX), Stretching/Strengthening Exercise (ST.EX), Cognitive Symptom Management (CSM), and Communication with MD (COMM).
Full random-effects meta-analysis was conducted for all available outcomes at 46 and 912 months. Heterogenity (HTG) was assessed using the Q Value (statistically significant at a= 0.05). Sensitivity analyses explored differences by study design (RCT vs. longitudinal [LONG]).
297 studies were identified; this report focuses on the 20 eligible studies (6 RCT, 14 LONG) of the Small Group English ASMP.
In analysis of 46 mo. data, there was significant HTG in 5 of 6 primary outcomes (all but SE) and 2 of 8 secondary outcomes (LMTS, CSM), indicating significant inter-study variation in effect sizes (ES) for most primary but few secondary outcomes. Only Pain and MD-V showed significant between group (RCT-LONG) HTG, indicating variation was not due to study design, and analysis of Overall effects (RCT and LONG combined) was valid.
RCT only analysis showed significant benefits in FAT (ES =-0.214), SE (0.34), ANX (-0.204), DEP (-0.201), and COMM (0.277) at 46 mo. At 912 mo. improvements in SE, ANX and DEP remained significant but slightly reduced (ES 0.21, -0.193, -0.132 respectively); no 12 mo. data were available on FAT or COMM.
In 46 mo. Overall analysis, all variables significant in RCT analysis were significant. HD (ES =-0.359), DIS (-0.049), A.EX (0.209), ST.EX (0.179), and CSM (0.533) were also significant with small to moderate ESs. At 912 mo., all variables except DIS, A-EX, and ST.EX remained significant with similar ESs. Pain and MD-V were significant in LONG 46 mo. analysis (ES -0.225, -0.120 respectively) but not in RCT only or Overall analyses.
Based on RCT analysis, the small group English ASMP has robust psychological benefits (ANX, DEP, SE) that persist at 12 mo., along with short term benefits in FAT and COMM. In Overall analysis, benefits were also seen in health behaviors and HD; most persisted at 12 mo. Consistent with previous meta-analyses, the impact of ASMP on DIS at 46 mo. is significant but small, and not maintained at 12 mo. The impact of ASMP on Pain and MD-V is only found in LONG studies, and should be interpreted cautiously.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Very convenient and inexpensive. Nope, I just needed a place to sleep.
The beds were comfortable. There was trash in our room that housekeeping had missed.
Paul at the front desk is the biggest asset to this hotel. He is horribly overworked and obviously under appreciated but with us he was amazing! He seems to be the ONLY one concerned about this place. Sheets, toilet and sink clean. Cigarette smell, musty, damp feeling carpet, dirty a/c filter that made us congested. black mold on shower ceiling. NO attention to cleaning details. Run down, unclean and shabby. A real missed opportunity for the owner for simple fixes! BAD housekeeping
Location The cleanliness of the room
Not many guests, so plenty parking. 'Free breakfast' a joke; ate elsewhere. Stained room carpet. Twice had to phone hotel to locate desk clerk, while standing at front desk. Wife has asthma; got non-smoking room, but adjoined a room full of smokers; changed rooms after arguing w/ clerk.
Not a thing did I not like
Location. Floors needed cleaned badly! Housekeeping did not restock towels.
We didn't expect too much for the price - but was very pleased. Clean, well maintained and freindly. Breakfase and free internet. Very good Mexican restaurant just down the street! Great!
We stayed at this hotel b/c of the great price. The front desk staff was friendly, however the room was dirty. The carpet was so nasty that after only 5 minutes of being in the room, our feet / socks were black from the grime. We were very unhappy since we were traveling with a toddler and we had to try to keep him off the floor. Had to scrub the tub before we could give our child a bath. Also there is very limited parking and we had trouble finding a place to park.
Wonderful stay. Accomodations were delightful. Will stay again.
Clean. No smells. Great air. Reasonable beds. Fridge and microwave really nice people. Breakfast simple but nice. We will go again if we go to Chattanooga
Our reservation was for a non-smoking room and we were given a smoking room with no option to change. We couldn't sleep due to the smell and we took it with us into the car.
The hotel is located very close to Chattanooga, TN and some of the great scenic areas around the city (Ruby Falls and Rock City). The room was a descent size and very clean. The staff was also very helpful and nice. There were a few issues with the room...the hotel is next to a bowling alley or skating rink and there were a lot of kids in the area. I was somewhat fearful that my car would be vandalized or damaged but all was alright. Another issue I faced was a half naked, drunk patron outside the room that kept moaning. I called the hotel staff and they were extremely helpful in contacting the police.
i stayed here twice so far had no problems had a great time getting ready to go back there again nice peaceful stay there every time
nice clean hotel, friendly staff
Cheap rate for the hotel however next time I will book at a hotel with indoor pool.
This is the worst motel we have ever stayed at...not clean, did not have spare toilet paper, no kleenex in tissue holder...beds worn out..shower needed cleaning...overall it has turned me away from staying at any Super 8 motel again..and we were Super 8 card holders.....
Be careful if you are approaching this hotel from I-24 (from the north), it is sitting in a curve and you will completely miss the entrance if you don't exactly where you are going. Upon arrival, the front desk clerk was nice and was aware that I had several family members staying there, and gave me the room numbers of all of them. Upon checking into the room, we found that the housekeeping staff had overused some type of air freshner, and the room was almost sickening from the sweet smell. The room was nice, clean, and of the average size with two queen beds. Front desk clerk will call and check if everything is fine about 5 minutes after you check-in. Our microwave did not work, and would sound an alert every minute, but we just unplugged it. The bathroom is on the small side and you just about had to stand in the tub to close the door. The pillows were thin, but one could compensate by folding the pillow over. Parking was just outside the door, and filled up quickly. Pool is really small, and is between the hotel and busy Lafayette Road, so if you are afraid of being seen in your swim suit, you will probably not visit the pool. We had no problems with the location and location was a main reason we chose this property, but it could be hard to exit the property and go north towards Chattanooga during the morning and afternoon rush hour. If you are traveling to Battlefield Parkway, south, or to Chickamauga Battlefield National Military Park, location is not a problem. Breakfast was a average continental variety. Front desk during checkout was quick and added some humor to the morning. I would certianly stay again.
Decent for what I paid, but staff was rude and unhelpful.
It was cheap and located near where we needed to be in Lafayette and saved us driving from Dalton or even Chattanooga. Room was clean and staff was nice. Always nice to stay in a non smoking room that doesn't smell of smoke. Bed was a little stiff that's about the only complaint.
The staff was friendly The bathroom door wouldn't shut all the way, there wasn't any light bulbs in the lamps. You couldn't see out of the peep hole and the head board kept falling down. There was a tv channel guide.

Yes, you're right.

Don't try to use a unopened relation Commit 4c9d0901 mistakenly introduced a call to TransferPredicateLocksToHeapRelation() on an index relation that had been closed a few lines above. Moving up an index_open() call that's below is enough to fix the problem. Discovered by me while testing an unrelated patch.
