Paris (UPI) Jan 17, 2013
A European spacecraft has captured a striking image of a river-like structure on Mars believe formed when running water flowed in the distant martian past.
A high-resolution stereo camera on the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter photographed the 1,000-mile steep-sided channel running through the Promethei Terra Highlands, an ESA release said Thursday.
Dubbed the Reull Vallis, it is believed to have been created in Mar's Hesperian period that ended between 3.5 and 1.89 billion years ago, scientists said.
The morphology of Reull Vallis suggests it has experienced a diverse and complex history, they said, with analogies seen in river and glacial activity on Earth.
The portion of the Reull Vallis captured in the Mars Express image is more than 4 miles wide and almost 1,000 feet deep, scientists said.
The images may by providing glimpses of a past on the Red Planet not too dissimilar to events on our own world today, they said.

Rendundacies push Flight Centre profits down
Page Tools
Redundancy payments contributed to a fall in Flight Centre's third-quarter profits despite increased revenue, chief executive Shane Flynn said yesterday.
The travel retailer yesterday reported a net profit of $19.4 million for the three months to March 31, a 6.7 per cent decrease on the previous corresponding period.
Its pre-tax net profit of $29.6 million was 2.1 per cent lower than the prior period, while revenue was $230 million - a 13 per cent increase on the $203 million earned last year.
Mr Flynn refused to be drawn on the exact number of people made redundant this quarter but admitted that, although fewer than 10 staff had been let go, they were high-level managers with a package totalling $1 million.
He said the redundancies were part of a plan to streamline the travel retailer and would continue into the final quarter.
Mr Flynn said support staff would be the next group targeted for redundancies, although he was quick to point out that Flight Centre's sales staff numbers were expanding.
"Most of the [profit] result is due to some of the costs that have been pushed through during the quarter for long-term investment," he told journalists.
Mr Flynn said the Full Throttle program - an organisational redesign launched during the quarter - was part of the long-term plan and had also eaten into this quarter's profits.
He said while the results of Full Throttle would not be seen until 2005/06 and beyond, some cost savings would flow through during the later stages of 2004/05.
Mr Flynn said although Flight Centre had earlier expected a final year 15 per cent increase in profit, the company now expected to come out even.
He said that, even to achieve that result, the company needed to increase its final quarter takings to $45 million - an increase of $5 million on the prior period.
"This is traditionally by far our biggest period ... so based on the current figures and forecasting that we have done if everything goes true to form ... we should be able to get pretty close to that mark," he said.
Mr Flynn said the company's cost and structural reviews this year would lay the foundations for continued future growth.
Flight Centre shares fell 60 cents to $14 yesterday, a 4.1 per cent drop.

Good work.

| whispered something profound chapter 1 . 6/20/2007
I really like this! it flows really well. Is it talking about living for the moment and not worrying about the future? That's how I interpretted the whole seconds or years part. But you probably don't care how I interpretted it. Anyways, I liked what I got out of the poem.

ZANESVILLE The Muskingum County Veterans Council has partnered with Zanesville sculptor Alan Cottrill to create and install a permanent memorial to the countys World War II and Korean War veterans.
The exciting and ambitious tribute will stand on the corner of Fifth and Main streets on the courthouse grounds in Zanesville as a permanent reminder of the ultimate sacrifice armed forces have made to defend liberty and freedom in this country.
The memorial will consist of the three larger than life-size cast bronze soldiers in full battle regalia. In addition, the monument will contain approximately 300 life-size cast bronze military helmets, each with one name of a Muskingum County veteran who died in either World War II or the Korean War. The helmets will be grouped in mounds throughout the monument site.
Total finished cost of the monument and site work is $175,000, completely supported through community fundraising. It is expected to be dedicated during the Nov. 11, 2003 Veterans Day Parade.
The massive fund-raising effort underway took some unexpected twists and turns over the summer, including the design of a numbered limited edition 14-inch diameter bronze commemorative bell, designed by Cottrill and cast in Zanesville. The bells are given to any business, group or individual who contributes $1,000 or more toward the cost of the monument.
As the community effort spread, members of the Zanesville Farmers Market
made a commitment to host a Community Donation Day at the market to raise $1,000 to sponsor the purchase of a bell. Individuals from around the community contributed to making the day a great success; however, at the close of the day, the Farmers Market had only raised $630 of the cost.
Thats when Donna Taylor, business and promotional coordinator of the Farmers Market, stepped up to the bat.
I went to members of my church first and asked for donations, but I was still $120 short of the goal, explained Taylor.
In a creative burst of thought, Taylor called each of the three Zanesville mayoral candidates and asked for a $40 contribution. Candidates Jack Fenton, David Joseph and Rick Lavy responded to the challenge.
It made sense, because the bell will be housed in the administrative offices at city hall, the site of the original Muskingum County Farmers Market and where the successful candidate will have an office, explained Taylor.
While the fund-raising has been underway for approximately six months and has raised approximately one-half of the cost, Neal Warren, public relations contact for the Cottrill Sculpture Gallery and Studio, believes this is a significant milestone for the project.
The cast bronze bells are a significant incentive. In addition, moving into the gallery and studio here on Sixth Street makes Alans work noticeable and in return, draws attention to the fund-raising efforts for the memorial, he commented. The community has certainly expressed their commitment to raising the additional funds.
Anyone interested in the purchase of a bronze commemorative bell or in making a contribution, can call (740) 453-9822. Contributions are tax deductible.

Nineteen Colleges Commit to Providing Vulnerable Students with Vital Supports
Nov 28, 2012
In late October, leadership and staff from nineteen community colleges gathered at Skyline College in San Bruno, California for the annual Center for Working Families Learning Network Conference, which focused on strengthening and expanding use of strategies to improve the postsecondary success of low-income community college students. All of the colleges in attendance -- and an increasing number of institutions across the country -- are expressing a commitment to meeting the financial as well as the academic needs of low-income students in order to promote college completion and success.
This trend is a response to the changing face of students. Today, fully 40 percent of college students are low-income; 47 percent are not dependent on their parents/guardians; and 32 percent are employed full time while attending school. These circumstances can all contribute to students taking longer to complete their programs of study or to them dropping out completely.
Many of the colleges that met in California are implementing the "Center for Working Families" (CWF) approach, which combines academic and career training with financial information and resources, including financial education, asset building tools, free tax assistance and access to publicly available benefits and supports. The approach has been used in community based organizations and is now being adopted in community colleges at varying levels of intensity to better meet the financial as well as the academic needs of students. The colleges are using a range of strategies, including embedding targeted financial education and supports into existing courses, piggybacking on existing programs, partnering with community based organizations, and developing new centers on campus.
Differences in the services available at the colleges make it challenging to measure the impact of the CWF approach as a whole. However, Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque has seen a 15 percent increase in term-to-term retention among students who utilize services as compared to those who do not.
Colleges are also seeing a clear correlation between use of the CWF approach and a strong commitment of that college's leadership to comprehensively meeting the financial needs of low-income students. As hosting President Regina Stanback Stroud stressed, helping vulnerable students complete their programs of study is an integral part of her college's mission. Equally integral are the goals of reducing poverty and advancing equity in her community. Many of the Presidents of these institutions have become public advocates of efforts to improve student financial stability. Moreover, these Presidents are so committed to this issue that nine of them attended the conference and sat on a panel about gaining the investment of leadership in this work.
The Center for Working Families Learning Network is managed by MDC and supported by a range of foundations and intermediaries including the Annie E Casey Foundation, Bank of America, the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) and United Way Worldwide.
Case studies on a selection of these colleges' approaches are available in a recent MDC publication, Center for Working Families at Community Colleges: Clearing the Financial Barriers to Student Success.

I have tested the M3Evolution rom on my D99+ for one week and my personal conclusion is that it doesn't have much noticeable benifits besides that it looks more fancy than the stock rom.
Issues so far found with the M3evolution ROM:
Not able to add contacts account (gmail) to show contacts. (Black screen).
With the stock rom I could add this
No re routing within Google Navigation
Re routing worked in the stock rom
Pandora crashes frequently
Not happening with the stock rom
SetCPU not working (maybe reinstall needed, not tested yet)
Worked with the stockrom
When I saw the list of benifits on
I was very impressed and did the donation of $30 dollar. To be honest I am very dissapointed with it. Especially to know that I paid $30 dollar for only a fancy black theme statusbar.
@M3Evelotion. I understand that your not updating the ROM anymore since your working on the //Avin system. Then in my opinion please share the knowledge how you created this ROM so that other can continue working on it.
Just making profit out of a product that isn't even finished yet is the same as lack in development as Dynavin does if you ask me.
Just my two cents.

Lava Flows, Volcano Eruptions and Mount Etna – Crazy!
Check out this photo of an old Lava Flow on Mount Etna, in Sicily (Sicily is the 'football' part of Italy – and a haven for godfathers…).
Mount Etna is one of the most grumpiest volcanos on the planet it tends to have a number of Volcano Eruptions every couple of years to make downstream locals a bit nervous.
Lava Flow Pics
Here is an example of a more spectacular Lava Flow:
This photo contains 1) a chapel on the left, and 2) an old Lava Flow on the right. It almost looks like the chapel was built after the Lava Flow, but it wasn't!
This Lava Flow occurred in the 1970s, and for some bizarre reason, it diverted itself around the chapel instead of vapourising it instantly. Sure, devout Catholics call it a miracle and the work of God, but this seems too freakish for my liking!
Like a previous article on Mount Etna – Don't Visit When Erupting, I'd hate to be here when it spews out more Lava Flows!

"This style of card matched my wedding invitations perfectly even though they weren't technically made for each other. They are simple but pretty. I love them."
"Amazing custom service! :) :) :) they helped me with so much to make the perfect card, it was everything I could dream of, I was even allowed the option to hangs to any color and layout I wished, thank you so much for creating something so perfect! :) :) :)"
"I was really concerned that I was putting way too much information on this card but it looked to fit perfectly. I included 3 hotels that we booked rooms at and our wedding website at the bottom and it still didn't look cramped some how! I do kind of wish that the card was a liiiiitttle bit bigger because I'm a little worried that it will get lost somehow (it's the same size as the RSVP) so I wish it stood out a little better."
"We actually used this as 'Reception' Cards rather than direction cards, so we put on information about when and where the cocktail hour and reception will be. I added the pearlized finish, which I really like. The online proof was helpful because they centered things in a way that the website wouldn't allow me to do and it looked very nice."
"Pleased with the finished look of the Enclosure Card. Experienced the customer service when I had to make an edit on the card after submitting my order for printing. I received the email for me to look over and approve all the designs before it went to print, I adjusted the wording on this card, submitted the changes to them and within a couple of hours had the revised product ready for me to look over again for my final approval. Everything went very well and the finished product turned out great."

Pittsburgh police have arrested a juvenile believed to have viciously attacked a Pittsburgh Public Schools teacher as they passed each other in a Downtown alley in an unprovoked and disgusting assault that was captured on surveillance video.
"The mayor is appalled at this vicious and senseless attack," Joanna Doven, spokeswoman for Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, said Tuesday. "It appears to be a random act but this juvenile has a track record, already has, for example, a probation officer."
Just as disturbing as the assault -- in which the assailant went out of his way to approach Mr. Addlespurger before decking him with a single sucker punch to the face -- is the way that the group nonchalantly strolled away, seemingly without a care, amid smiles and casual looks back.
"We don't know the mind state that that young man was in but there's something very terrifying about it," said Pittsburgh Councilman R. Daniel Lavelle, whose district includes Downtown. "In the video it appears he was laughing afterwards, which is very disturbing."

In recent years, interest in the area of custom computing machines (CCMs) has been on a steady increase. Much of the activity surrounding CCMs has centered around Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology and rapid prototyping applications. While higher performance has been a concern in some applications, the solutions are limited by the relatively small FPGA bandwidth, density and throughput. This leads to area, speed, power, and application-specific constraints. In recent months, an integrated circuit known as the VT Colt has been developed to address some high performance digital signal processing (DSP) problems that conventional processors, CCMs, and ASICs cannot do under the space and power constraints. The Colt chip takes a data-flow approach to processing and is highly reconfigurable to suit the many computationally demanding tasks that new DSP applications present. A significant portion of the development of the Colt chip is architectural justification, functional verification, and configurability. This thesis explores verification of the Colt chip at various levels of development including mapping arithmetic computations and DSP algorithms that the Colt architecture was designed to solve.

I had what looked like a giant luminous nappy wrapped around my waist, but I'd never felt so relaxed. The strange get-up – an upside-down life jacket – was helping me float ever so slowly along a beautiful natural canal linking two equally glorious lagoons on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Without any effort on my part, the gentle current took me past bright fish, large birds and vast mangrove forests in the Sian Ka'an reserve.
Sian Ka'an means "where the sky is born" in the language of the Mayans, who ruled the land before the Spanish arrived, and staring at the horizon I was sure that if the sky did have a birthplace it could only be somewhere as sublime as the Yucatán, and particularly the coastal area south of Cancún known as the Riviera Maya.
This is an idyllic part of Mexico, blessed with white sands, superb ruins and beautiful natural landscapes. Unfortunately, that's not a picture the world usually associates with Mexico. Hurricanes, swine flu and ferocious drug wars have put the country on the map for all the wrong reasons and driven visitors away. But the Riviera Maya, the easternmost part of Mexico, is gradually winning the image war, making the most of what Nature, and the ancient Mayan civilisation, bequeathed it.
The jewel in this crown is Chichén Itza, the emblem of Mayan culture. It was voted one of the seven new wonders of the world and it is easy to see why it made such a list. The large site, a three-hour drive from the Riviera, includes the Great Ball Court, a 300ft arena where the Mayans played a game that bears the closest resemblance to Harry Potter's quidditch – shooting balls through large hoops high in the air. The winning captain had the "honour" of being decapitated, taking him nearer to the gods.
I did not need the threat of execution to feel close to the gods in this spiritual place. Everything here, particularly the magnificent Pyramid of Kukulkán, was designed with the heavens, all nine of them, in mind.
The Mayan astrologers were so clever that the temple acts as a calendar, and on every equinox the shadow of a snake, a revered animal, slithers from the top of the temple to the bottom and back again, awing spectators.
In another amazing trick of engineering, the 365 steps of the temple have been constructed so that when you stand in front of them and clap, the echo sounds like a quetzal, a bird revered by Mayans.
Closer, to the south of the Riviera, is another Mayan site, Tulum. Perched on 49ft cliffs overlooking the sea, the walled city was at its most powerful between the 13th and 15th centuries, becoming a major trading centre, and even surviving for the first few years after the Spanish conquest in the 16th century.
At Tulum, as at all the Mayan sites, it is worth hiring a guide to bring the history of the ancient cities alive, with thrilling tales of how this amazing civilisation lived before their empire fell.
There is no shelter at Tulum, and a day of exploring in the scorching heat left me drained and keen to cool off at one of the region's beautiful beaches. There you can try watersports, spot wildlife, or simply sunbathe under a large palm tree, mojito in hand. And when you have sufficiently recovered and are ready for the next outing you can visit yet another outstanding natural feature that continues to draw visitors and hotels to the area: the cenotes.
Cenotes are freshwater sink holes formed thousands of years ago in the granite bedrock of the peninsula. Many have been explored but hundreds are believe to lie undiscovered, bursting with wildlife and exotic plants.
Whichever cenote you visit, there really is only one way to get the best out of them – by getting wet. So I jumped in, and as I followed our snorkel tour leader deep into the Nohoch Nah Chiich cavern system, the rock formations became gradually weirder and weirder.
Swimming between columns of limestone and through intimate tunnels was to enter another world, with tree roots the shape of elephant's feet growing through the cenotes' roofs; stalactites and stalagmites rising and falling in all directions and bats gathering in nooks and crannies.
These magical natural phenomena are a million miles away from the loud, brash tourist town of Cancún, with block upon block of neon nightclubs and fast-food joints.
Tour guides working in many of the local sites told me they were keen to build a very different image for the Riviera Maya, one of working with Nature, not against it, and supporting communities rather than building on top of them.
That message is already clear in Isla Mujeres, the five-mile-long island just north of Cancún where there is a real bohemian atmosphere. Locals get around by bicycle or foot rather than by car and the island's Playa Norte is one of the only places in the region to watch the sunset over the water, preferably while eating the exquisite seafood that is sold on every corner.
For some, Mexico may always be a land of drug wars, hurricanes and thousands of emigrants desperate to leave, but for me it's a land of exquisite sun and sea, and somewhere to which I am desperate to return.

How to: Mark all as Read on your iphone and ipad mail app
While out with some friends, last night, I noticed most of my friends, that normally would have a blackberry, now had iphones. Yikes. talk about jumping ship and abandoning a platform. I didn't think anything of it at the time until i downloaded the new gmail app from IOS and realized the most powerful feature in mail is omitted still,"Mark all as read."
Don't ask how i made the connection my mind works funny…lol. I don't know if its just me but i hate to see unread indicators on my phone or outlook for that matter.YES, I STILL USE OUTLOOK AND I LOVE IT. I am a techy and I just do not like gmail's web client for mail and for that matter i also hate Apples mail client.
Blackberry has the most powerful mail app , for a mobile device, to this day. Nothing compares to it. . Not Sparrow app (recently acquired by google), not the gmail app, not the native ios mail app, nothing!
Looks like i went off on a tangent. Anywhoo you are here for instructions on
how to mark all as read on your iphone & ipad mail app.
Well life hacker did an amazing job and yes there is video for you lazy bums. The article was titled. drum roll please ……..
"How to Mark All Emails as Read on Your iPhone"
The trick is pretty simple and consists of the following steps:
- Open up the Mail app and tap the Edit button.
- Select one message.
- Press and hold the Mark button at the bottom of the screen.
- While still pressing and holding the Mark button, tap the email you previously selected to unmark it.
- Release the Mark button.
- Tap the Mark as Read button.
Doing this confuses Mail because no messages are selected. Because it apparently interprets nothing as everything, it'll mark all your messages as read without the tedious task of selecting each one individually.

Sometimes, keeping up with the Kardashians can have tragic consequences.
Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom, who is married to Khloe Kardiashian, was riding in the backseat of a vehicle on Thursday in New York City when his chauffeur struck a motorcycle, which in turn hit a 15-year-old boy.
The teenager sustained major head injuries and was taken to Elmhurt hospital, where he sadly passed away last night.
Odom was unhurt, but is devastated by the news, and Tweeted: "Thank you for your support and prayers! My thoughts and prayers are with the young boys family."
Wife Khloe also took to Twitter to extend her sympathies, writing: "My heart/soul goes out 2every1 in pain from any suffering. Pray 4 all of the angels surrounding us constantly. May our spirits stay strong."

What kind of weather do you like in the summer? Unseasonable rain? Spring-type weather? Temperatures in the triple digits? It doesn't matter what weather you prefer. This week, you'll get it all.
Lodi-area streets were wet Monday afternoon after a brief storm, but it won't be raining for long — in fact, we could be in triple digits by Thursday, according to Carl Erickson, a meteorologist for AccuWeather.com, a private weather forecasting service.

Baby dies in car accident
Wilson Emergency Management Agency responded to the scene along with law enforcement. WEMA personnel summoned LifeFlight helicopter which landed near the wreck site and transported the baby to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
McPherson said the baby died late that afternoon.
There were also two other children in the Pontiac, a 7-year-old and a 6-month-old, both boys. They were taken to University Medical Center by ambulance, however, they did not have serious injuries. In addition, Gonzalez, who was the mother of the 2-month-old, and the friend who was in the passenger seat, also were not injured seriously.
Adams, the driver of the pickup truck, was transported by WEMA to UMC with injuries although McPherson said she did not know the extent.
McPherson said it was believed that the 6-month-old was restrained because he was not seriously injured. She said the 7-year-old told authorities he could not remember if he wore a seatbelt.
She noted that no alcohol or drugs were believed to have played a part in the accident which remains under investigation. The names of the children were not available. Trooper Mike Tysinger was investigating the accident.
Funeral services for the infant boy were held Sunday afternoon, June 1 at the Hunter Funeral Home in Watertown. Burial was at the Eastern Gate Cemetery.
Survivors include: parents Amber Anderson Gonzalez and Carmelino Gutierrez Perez; sister Noelia Dillard; grandparents Teresa Anderson and Randy (Christie) Anderson -- all of Watertown; Margarita Perez Vasquez and Carmelino Gutierrez -- both of Mexico.
Hunter Funeral Home, Watertown, was in charge of arrangements.

Mommie Dearest: It Sometimes Takes A (Virtual) Village
I'm not going to sugar coat it: Sometimes, this whole parenting gig can be pretty damn hard. Yes, parenting is rewarding and wonderful and absolutely special. But it can also be completely terrifying and difficult and frustrating. And, despite all the parenting books that line the shelves of bookstores, there's truly no one manual to tell you exactly how to successfully raise your children without going completely batty.
It also doesn't help that parents — new ones especially — are surrounded by images, advertisements, articles, books, television shows, "experts," movies, news media, and more that basically dictate to them what it (supposedly) takes to be a good parent. It can be doubly overwhelming in a society that pushes Tiger Moms at you while also promoting the benefits of French Parenting in the same breath that both encourages and disparages Attachment Parenting. It's enough to drive anyone to drink. (Or smoke).
So it doesn't surprise me one bit when parents turn to the Internet to find some answers or relief. Even if that relief is in the form of mild complaining or slightly neurotic questioning of everything that's being thrown at you. But of course, as with everything on the Internet, everyone has an opinion. Enter Jezebel's Tracy Moore, who earlier this week tore apart a private online Facebook group for L.A. parents. Moore listed a handful of topics that various mothers posted about and then proceeded to mock and snark on each one.
I get it. I understand the desire to snark on seemingly rookie parenting questions. You've been there, done that, and it's so easy to roll your eyes at the new mom who's buying into all the commercialized nonsense that can accompany babies. I also get that it's hip or whatever to rag on super anxious or hyper-worried parents — after all, I'm no fan of helicopter parenting myself. But most of the things Moore got on them for don't actually sound all that bad to me, to be honest. And ironically, once you make it into the comments section of the Jezebel article, you'll find that many readers brush past the snark and end up asking parenting questions of their own on issues they're struggling with.
The Jezebel piece made me a little sad. We push the idea that it "takes a village" to raise our children, and sometimes, for some people, that village is virtual. Motherhood can be extremely isolating for some, especially if you're the only mother among your friends. We turn to the Internet for dating advice, fashion advice, job advice … why wouldn't folks also head to the web for parenting advice?
Within my own group of friends, I frequently ask similar questions to the ones Moore tore apart. I've been known to post on Facebook asking local friends what the going rate for babysitters in our area is: I want to make sure I'm paying my sitter fairly, and crowdsourcing to see what other folks pay is helpful. Sometimes, when I get together with a group of my mama friends, we don't talk about anything related to parenting at all. Other times we rally together in solidarity, sharing sangria and silly stories about our children. We may even toss out a question or two for someone with an older child who might be able to offer up a suggestion we haven't tried yet.
It feels freeing to be able to have a support network that will either offer a listening ear, advice if I ask for it, or just one more drink or slice of chocolate cake to help me deal with whatever parenting issue I'm trying to figure out. For some people, these online groups are a way to access that support when nothing local or in person is available — especially if your child has special needs, allergies, or some other specialized issue a parent may want to talk with like minds.
Our society as a whole props motherhood up as this venerable and special ideal' and for sure it has its moments. At the same time, it doesn't provide much in the way of actual, tangible support. If a new mother — or even one with some experience under her belt — can find some space online that provides that support? More power to her. Maybe you see a bunch of mothers whining about their crying baby, but if one mother can crowdsource some solutions, that may be one more mother who doesn't resort to something dangerous because she feels overwhelmed.
And the best part about crowdsourcing support and advice on the internet? If it doesn't appeal to you, you're always free to click that little "x" in the corner and show yourself out the door.

Great time on he Liberty: Carnival Liberty Cruise Review by oceanblue33
Overall Member Rating
Great time on he Liberty
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We arrived in Miami a day before and weather was just awful with all the rain and hurricane watches. Looking to ahead to forecast to all of our ports weren't very good either. We stayed at the Hampton Inn Brickel a very good hotel. Everyone there was very helpful great complementary breakfast. After a good night sleep it was off to port of Miami. We arrived around 10 30 it wasn't to busy just yet. They checked us inn and they gave us zone 4 and in about 25 min we were on the Liberty. My wife and I and our friend who traveled with us on this cruise went to the buffet before it became a mad house. There's many items to choose from pretty good really. Then we started checking out the ship. Very nice decor through out the ship not gaudy at all. Place was kept up very clean More workers are always keeping it that way. Not the best lay out to get here and there but after awhile you'll get it. The pools are nice maybe a little small for the size of the ship but not a problem. The water slide was great hey I'm still a lit kid at heart. The dinning area was very nice we were in the silver room. Originally requested that we sit with our friends but they had us seating at separate times. The materdee took care of that we both had late seating great start.
The ports that we visited were fantastic. First it was Cozumel we all went to Nachi Coccom for the day. All the booze and food great weather for 55 bucks was a very good deal. We decided to stay on the ship in Belize not into cave tubing. We pretty much had the ship to our-self wonderful. Next stop to Mahogany Bay Roatan this was far the most beautiful island from the rest of the ports that we've visited. We decided on a island tour and a stop to west bay beach for some relaxation and fun. Our last stop was Grand Cayman Island dis some snorkeling with the rays and a visit to rum point beach a very nice day there. Almost forgot all the ports that we visited the weather was perfect.
Now we really didn't enjoy our dinning room experience manly because of our server. He had the personality of a brick wall forgot many items fro what we ordered. He was out of sync the time we were there. The menu was so so at best. Formal nights were pretty good. Any way we went to the Diamond Steakhouse now that was a great experience. The service was first class as was the dinners that we ordered surf and turf MMMMMMMM. In fact we liked it so much we went the a second time and again it was another outstanding meal. Yeah it was 35 bucks pp it was well worth it folks. My wife is such a foodie that we even tried chefs table. Its a seven course meal with the head chef of the ship explaining how he prepares it. Around 12 people participated inn this. We all enjoyed very interesting and very good.
I must say the acclivities around the ship were very entertaining I must say. You have to give it up for Karl with K. The little fellow did fantastic job.Caribbean night was awesome Karl. All the 2.0 enhancements were great guy burgers were out of this world. The red frog bar was nice the comedy cub was very funny. All in all the people on this ship were pleasant as was the was the crew. This was a very good cruise. Less

Hello everyone, I am on this site frequently, and I must say it is very inspirational. I've had big big breast since grade 4. I skipped the A & B cup and went straight to a C. I am 21 now and 34DDD. I am 5'2 with a small frame. I am a size small in tops but always have to buy medium or large because of my breasts. To be honest, I don't know where this big things came from because it doesn't run in my family. I've been thinking of a breast reduction for many years now and talked to my doctor but at the time I was too young. My breaking point was when I went to Victoria's Secret for a strapless bra and nothing fit. I was under the impression that I was a 34DD but my size wasn't fitting. I asked the lady to measure me and she told me I'm a 34DDD or F. There was one bra that fit in the entire store and even then my breast were spilling out and the bra didn't give enough support. I previously went to my doctor and was referred to a breast specialist. He said I was a good candidate. I live in Toronto, Canada so the procedure cost 0$ I just had to wait for everything to get approved. IT GOT APPROVED TODAY!!! and my possible date is August 16, 2013. I'm very nervous but very excited because I know this will be a life changing experience. Putting everything in God's hands! :)
My Breast Reduction Story - Toronto, ON
Date Switched
Hello everyone! :) I was originally scheduled for the BR surgery for Aug 16 but I recently got a job and don't want to take 2 weeks off as yet. Its a bummer cause I want to get this over with but at the same time I need to make money. I want to get the surgery done beginning of October so hopefully everything goes as planned. Thank you all for your kind words, support, and encouragement!
Less than a month away!
Hello everyone, I got my BR rescheduled for October 3rd which is less than a month away. I am soooo nervous but excited at the same time. I had to visit my doctor again and we spoke a bit about the surgery and he took some before pictures. The secretary was getting all the paper work ready and while she was doing that, I began to feel light weight and like I was about to faint. I don't know if it was because I was hungry or if it was nerves, I think a bit of both because I've never done surgery before. Counting down the days. Thanks for all the encouraging words :)
Next Week
So my BR surgery is next week and I must say I am nervous but excited. I hope all goes well and I recover fast. This site has been so helpful, reading about everyone's experiences has made me feel so much better. Thank you :)
Tomorrow is the day
So tomorrow is my surgery. Ahhh! I am extremely nervous because I never really had surgery besides my wisdom teeth being extracted. Putting me to sleep is what I think scares me the most. Although I'm scared, I am ready for this life changing event to happen. I struggled with this since grade 4 and ready for a change. I'm seriously obsessed with this site and everyone's stories and happy that I can relate to majority of you and not alone on this journey. I hope for a speedy recovery and NO PAIN (I know, not realistic lol) Please pray for me. Thank you :)
Update on my surgery
I'm gonna give an update on my surgery. I arrived at the hospital at 9:30 got my hospital attire on. Around 11:15 my ps did all the markings and at 11:30 I went into the surgery room. I wasn't as nervous as I anticipated I would be. I was more nervous the night before. I got onto the surgical bed and the anesthetic doctor came and put stuff in my vein. He said my vein was small so it would hurt, and it did! Then they told me I would knock out soon and I did. I woke up (felt like 5 mins) with oxygen mask on my face. I told the nurse to take that off my face I could breathe on my own. They rolled me out the room and into another room and my family and friends were there. I wasn't in too much pain all I wanted was food (which is normal, I love food) and I was discharged about an hour later. Overall it went well and I'm happy :) I see my ps on Monday, I'm excited to hear what he thinks. I haven't posted any pics without my bra yet cause I haven't taken it off. I haven't seen the girls myself. A nurse is suppose to come by today and I'll take a pic then.
Looked at my Girls Today!
Looked at my girls today for the first time after 2 days and I am very impressed with the results. I love them. My PS did an exceptional job. I wanna hug him. They are swollen but they look great. So happy
Post Op Day 4
Hello :) I went to see my ps today and he said everything was good and I look good so that's a plus. I'm feeling good, my pain level is a 0.5 lol. Overall I'm happy. Can't wait for the swelling to go down. Tired of sleeping on my back.
I need another bra!
The bra I got from surgery is very fitting but very uncomfortable. I have to wear gauze because it feels like it digging into my incisions. There is this marena bra that I want because it got some many good reviews but I can't get it because they don't ship to Canada and no stores in Canada have them either. I found a site that can ship it to Canada but it costs and arm and a leg for the shipping! I'm seriously considering opening up a bra store in the future cause this is rediculious.
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians
Happy Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for. I am extremely thankful for this site, it has helped so much with my journey to smaller boobs, the kind words and prayers had made everything much smoother. I am thankful that my reduction procedure went well and that I am recovering fast and looking good. Thankful for life, family, friends, health, food, shelter, the list goes on.
2 Weeks Post Op
Today marks 2 weeks since I had my BR surgery and I am still very happy. Best decision I've made so far. I felt very little pain more discomfort. Two days after surgery I stop taking meds. I went back to work a week and 2 days after surgery and I feel like my normal self. I want to buy bras but thinking I should wait a bit more cause this may not be my final size. I love the way they look! I'm going shopping today for some tops cause I barely own tops. I never liked shopping for too because of the way they looked or having to buy a size up. Hoping today goes well. Have a good day y'all :)
6 Week Update
Today marks six weeks since my surgery and I am still happy as ever. I've been healing very well, also very happy about that. I'm still wearing my surgical bra and also have a sports bra that I wear to work. Tomorrow I'm going to go bra shopping and buy a bunch of bras :) I got measured the other day and was told I'm a 34C! That was my goal size. Going to Jamaica in a few weeks and can't wait to wear a bikini on the beach and wear strapless dresses. This has been a life changing experience and has boosted my self esteem a whole lot.

LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK (August 29, 2011) —- Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists continued formal discussions this weekend between the AFTRA New Union Committee and the SAG Merger Task Force to facilitate the creation of one union to represent all members of Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA.
Meeting together as the Group for One Union, or G1, members and staff of both unions held meetings Saturday through Monday by video and teleconference between New York and Los Angeles. Originally scheduled as face-to-face meetings in New York, members and staff were cautioned not to travel due to the impending landfall of Hurricane Irene in New York and elsewhere along the East Coast. Both unions quickly implemented a contingency plan, however, to ensure the safety of all participants and continue the meetings as scheduled.
The G1, comprised of members including actors, performers, recording artists and broadcast professionals, received a presentation from its Member Education & Outreach Workgroup, and reviewed and discussed findings and recommendations of its Governance & Structure Workgroup. These and four other member-led workgroups have been holding discussions since they were created by the G1 at its inaugural meeting in Silver Spring, MD, June 19 -21.
"If anyone doubted our commitment to merger, what happened this weekend should put those doubts to rest – even a hurricane couldn't stop us," said SAG National President Ken Howard. "We covered a lot of ground and I'm so proud of our SAG and AFTRA team. It's a challenging task, but we're working extremely well together and I'm more confident than ever that we will get this done for the members."
"We made important progress this weekend," said AFTRA National President Roberta Reardon. "We examined the myriad strategies, approaches and structures to create a strong, new union that will further empower our members to strengthen their careers and secure their future. I thank everyone involved for their continued solidarity and deeply appreciate their patience and resilience as we worked through the challenges of Hurricane Irene."
The weekend meetings were facilitated by Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations Professor Susan J. Schurman, and noted labor consultant Peter S. DiCicco. The next meeting of the Group for One Union is scheduled for October 14 – 18 in Los Angeles.
AFTRA & SAG Continue Merger Discussions

The G1, comprised of members including actors, performers, recording artists and broadcast professionals, received a presentation-
Hopefully they're discussing how to deal with having TV newscasters and dancers vote on acting contracts.
Susan Flannery has been a real pain in the ass about getting this done, but it looks like it was worth it!
Glad to see that we're moving closer and closer to a merger referendum. I was sick and tired of all the childish fighting between SAG and AFTRA. What a colossal waste of time, money and dignity for professional performers. The stupid rivalry of actors opposing themselves in a different union for the same exact work never made sense.
Thank goodness the adults took the reins and that we're looking at a merger referendum in the next six months. I look forward to see what this merger group has come up with and to learning as much as possible about the proposal for the merged union when this committee's work is done.
Unfortunately, I can already hear the nay-sayers already attacking the proposal with the fear-mongering cries of 2003, "We're also for merger! Just not this merger…" Not this time.
Performers can't afford to be divided into multiple unions and won't stand for any more silly infighting.
Much thanks to all the people who are working on this merger, regardless of their political affiliations. Your union brothers and sisters are in your debt. Now make this happen!
The preceding was a paid political announcement. If this had been an actual comment, you would have been instructed where to tune for information on how gullible people are able to survive without critical thinking skills.
In debt LITERALLY. Way to go aftra.
Thank God some are working FOR the members instead of for their own egos!
now they can get twice as fucked by producers come contract time!
"If anyone doubted our commitment to merger, what happened this weekend should put those doubts to rest – even a hurricane couldn't stop us," said SAG National President Ken Howard."
There is no doubt in anyone's mind about your determination to destroy SAG. You are a Trojan Horse DISGRACE, Ken Howard.
Simon, the predecessor to Mr. Howard did more to destroy your idea of SAG than anyone else. He helped push the ratio of prime time SAG/AFTRA contracts from 90%/10% to its current ration of 10%/90%. Our pension/ health is now on a downward spiral. That is a reality. Even if you were against merger back then you'd be a fool to be against it now — unless, that is, you don't really work and are holding onto some nostalgic idea of what your SAG card means.
Even previous no-merger stalwart Ed Asner is involved with the new Marc Maron AFTRA pilot. If we don't change with the times we'll die.
And to other fear-mongering post-er, there is no reason that newscasters should be voting on acting contracts and vice versa. That should and most probably will be in the new union bylaws. I've been in both unions for 18 years and it is plain dumb to be split. The producers get us to negotiate against ourselves, for crying out loud. Strength in numbers, baby.
"I've been in both unions for 18 years and it is plain dumb to be split." And Kevin, wouldn't you rather be part of a single union that will always fight for actors' rights and fair pay? If you've been in AFTRA for 18 years, you know damn well that's not what AFTRA does.
Further, the producers (AMPTP) didn't get us to negotiate against ourselves, AFTRA did. The AMPTP just added fuel to the fire and laughed while we danced to their tune. But make no mistake, AFTRA hired the band.
This is all nothing short of propaganda.
In SAG's bi-monthly (?) trade magazine, "Actor", every single one of SAG's leaders who has their own column talked about AFTRA. Praising AFTRA, FFS! It's all they talk about! As if "merging" with AFTRA is the only cure for the mess that AFTRA created for SAG. "Sister Union", my ass.
There is another "cure" for actors: the other, not-talked-about option for SAG members would be to (HELLO!) file to have AFTRA de-certified for recorded performances (as their guild certification states), thereby allowing all actors to be under one guild's roof. (There's no "T" in AFRA.)
And isn't that what all actors want?
Yes. Yes it is. And it's simple to do. But the current SAG leadership (AFTRA members) who are intentionally running SAG into the ground right now won't do it.
Should all actors be under one guild? Absolutely. Should actors have anything whatsoever to do with AFTRA? Absolutely not.
If only you lived in reality, Ace. You obviously don't earn your living as an actor.
And neither will anyone else.
Oooooooohhhhh… ZING!
Easiest way to get all actors under one roof: turn in your AFTRA cards…no initiation fee to come to SAG. Result…all screen/tv actors in one union, SAG, and all broadcasters and non unionists in the other supposed Union. It's easy enough…But as soon as the papers are signed, SAG, as we now know it, vanishes along with the other supposed union. The new one…no name announced yet…will be one second old and all bets with AMPTP are off, all contracts dead and new "negotiations", which will last several years, will begin.
The preceding was a paid political announcement. If it had been an actual comment, you would have been instructed where to tune for an explaination of how the gullible get through life without critical thinking skills.
My apologies for the error, Ace – those comments were meant as a reply to the self-proclaimed "Union Actor." For the record, I think your idea makes a lot of sense, particularly considering the actions of the NFLPA in their labor dispute earlier this year.
From 10 years ago I still remember like it was yesterday my first Rutger Hauer moment: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe." Even though it was just an acting class, two young actors had just breathed unbelievable life and form into what was clearly bad writing on my part. So much so I just sat there stunned in awe at what I had just witnessed.
So a couple of years ago when I saw a well known tool spoofing an actor who lost it on a set, a tool who "supposedly" taught acting but was apparently devoid of what it took for gifted actors to deliver Oscar winning performances, my first reaction wasn't fit for print. What calmed me down and brought a smile to my face was the George Bernard Shaw line: "He who can, does, he who cannot, teaches."
Which brings me to the "industry friendly" actors currently in charge of SAG and AFTRA, and their Gollum types who have posted above. I get a nobody like Reardon rising up the AFTRA ranks by doing the industry bidding, but you are not a hack Mr. Howard. Not as an actor and not as human being. There is still time for you to reverse course, and in so doing the many who think the only way forward is dumb downed on their hands and knees, will rise up and demand what is rightfully and uniquely theirs.
I was wondering where the remains of the Membership First group were hanging out — here they are! Snarking about traitors and trojan horses is pointless and childish. The ship has sailed. Even a smidgen of understanding of the economics of the entertainment industry and the history of the SAG-AFTRA controversy would lead anyone to conclude that a well-crafted merger is essential. Sure there are many issues to contend with; these are large and complex organizations. But with a calm, rational, businesslike approach we can emerge a year from now with a stronger new union. Yep, a new union. I look forward to reading the plan when it is announced in January.
Honestly, it doesn't matter if actors have one union, or two as long as the leadership remains incapable of negotiating a contract that actually employs union members and keeps producers from using non-union actors, animals, puppets and girlfriends. I don't know one actor who has ever gotten a job because someone at the sag office made a phone call, but I know tons of actors who have lost their lives and are totally broke and starving because they are loyal sag members. Kevin might be drinking the koolaid, thinking there is stength in numbers, but that only pertains to war. Sag needs to learn how to get along and get deals done in this town in order to get members working and I can assure you, a merger will not solve that problem. Both unions really have become nothing more than a personal piggy bank and a good paying career for employees while union paying members continue to wonder why everyone hates them and refuses to hire them for anything. Me3rge talks do nothing but pay those talking while actors sit and wait and remain unemployed. "I think we have a problem here, don't we?"
Yes, yes we do.
Ned Vaughn, Amy Aquino, Ken Howard, Mike Hodge and Co. sabotaged SAG, got control of SAG, colluded with AFTRA to have SAG TV earnings given to AFTRA and now you want me to vote for their idiot agenda because the "Ship has sailed?" I will not vote for this B.S. merger. If it was good for me, they wouldn't have to sell it so hard. The fact is SAG merging with AFTRA stinks. It's the worse of two options. The harder road is to regain control of SAG, and build one UNION for actors called S.A.G. The entire UFS slate needs to be kicked out of the actors union, have their pensions stripped, their titles revoked, and their names blotted out. UFS is organized crime. Where's a good Attorney General when you need him? The corruption going on now at SAG/AFTRA is as bad as any corruption in union history.
Hey, Simon. Prove what you say. Until you can, talk is cheap.
FACT: Ned Vaughn/UFS sabotaged SAG's negotiating position with AMPTP during the DVD/New Media contract talks.
FACT: UFS fired Doug Allen using highly controversial (possibly illegal) Written Assent and used producer star power/funding such as Tom Hanks/George Cloony to get elected.
FACT: Under Ken Howard/Amy Aquino/Ned Vaughn etc … nearly all TV work went to AFTRA (costing SAG actors 100 million dollars and counting) and these elected leaders didn't challenge (and still won't challenge) the absurd notion that "method of capture" gives legal right to AFTRA to encroach on SAG territory.
FACT: Pretender to the SAG Presidency Ken Howard congratulated Ned Vaughn on his brilliant "strategy" on making SAG actors willing to merge with AFTRA.
FACT: The puppet Ken Howard and his UFS crooks have been working for nothing substantial other than merger with AFTRA since taking office.
FACT: AFTRA is a management tool, not an actors' union.
I'll add a couple:
FACT: AFTRA fabricated a reason to separate from SAG during negotiations, making it seem that SAG was stealing work from AFTRA;
FACT: when SAG leadership told everyone "Sign the contract and go back to work immediately", there was no work to go back to – and they all knew it.
FACT: Tom Hanks is more of a producer than actor, therefore his (and other celebrity actor/producers) urging SAG members to sign that contract was self-serving, not supporting his union.
And let's not forget how NY SAG (AFTRA people, really) pulled the rug out from under our negotiators right before we were to vote on a strike authorization, which would have given us much needed power at the negotiating table.
Is this all past history? Yes – it's the history of UFS, – "Unite For Strength" – the group which is currently letting SAG fail to make a merger necessary. A merger is NOT necessary. How about this: how about DAFS – "De-certify AFTRA For Strength"? UFS has done nothing but weaken SAG for AFTRA's benefit.
"AFTRA is a management tool, not an actors' union." Love it!
Ball's in your court, Shaun.
Ace and Simon have interesting points !!

Use Your Journal/
"When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty, there arises the recognition of ugliness. When they all know the good as good, there arises the recognition of evil."
Lao Tzu
Do you use your art journal? Your art materials? I mean really USE them? To paint your sadness or paint colors that make you feel good? To write lists? To figure things out?
Let yourself make a mess and get paint on your fingers. Watch what your art materials do when you don't have an elaborate plan.
The idea is not to make pretty stuff and post it on the internet. That's what it seems sometimes. The idea is to enjoy making stuff, whatever that stuff is.

As you splash across the stream for the third time, something in the middle-distance snags your gaze. A naked branch protruding from a patch of waving grass. It couldn't be, could it? By the time you reach the spot, you are breathless and the spark of hope has kindled into a camp-fire of satisfaction. There, lying motionless in a hollow you're convinced you'd already checked, is the strangely beautiful carcass you seek.
Contemplating the perfect pelt, the majestic rack, and the wayward arrow still lodged where it struck, something not dissimilar to sadness alights on your shoulder. You quickly shoo the emotion away by jabbing the 'bag kill' button, and basking in the glory of the points tally that briefly flashes onto the screen. This hunt is over. You'll go to bed beatific tonight.
At their worst (Cabela's Trophy Bucks), hunting games deserve all the lazy, snobbish jibes they routinely attract. At their best (DH2005), they can rival the likes of Hidden & Dangerous, Hitman, perhaps even the Thief series, for atmosphere and stealthy thrills. The oft-repeated criticism that because deer can't fight back, diversions like this are somehow unfair or unworthy, misses the point by a country mile. It's like saying F1 2010 isn't worth your time because Stowe Corner or La Rascasse can't win races.
Let's field another fallacy too. Just as it's possible to play Red Orchestra as an SS man, or Left 4 Dead 2 as a shambling abomination, without signing away your humanity, it's possible to play DH2005 without transforming yourself into a blood-lusty redneck. I am the sort of person that shepherds wasps out of windows and helps hedgehogs out of cattle grids, yet I can slay virtual deer without a qualm. (Except of course when they're fawns or nursing does. Only a MONSTER kills mummy and baby deer.)
DH2005 does actually come close to offering a play variant for the squeamish and the troubled gamer. All of the half-dozen locations can be hunted in three different seasons, but there's also a scouting mode in which you hike the hills and tracks armed only with optical aids and various hides and feeders. The idea of this mode is to reconnoitre, finding the paths the deer use, and places where they gather, then prepping these locations with tempting food sources and screened shooting positions (hides can be placed during hunts, but are less effective). Apply a dash of imagination and these preliminary rambles become Afrika-style photo safaris: spot, sneak up on, and screenshot the wildlife without spooking it.
Another facet of the game my earlier hunter's tale doesn't touch-on, is luring. Each of the six species respond rather plausibly to having a sweaty hominid upwind of them, but in other circumstances their hyper-sensitive senses can be used against them. Pack your nine-slot rucksack with a few electronic or blown calling devices, scent sprayers, and deer snacks, and you can attempt to tempt prey closer.
The success of each technique depends a lot on the season and your skill level (abilities like stealth and calling are determined during character creation then slowly improve as you gain experience). When they work though, the success warms the same dark part of the soul as Thief's noisemaker arrows or Commandos' cigarette packets.
Remarkably, all this deviousness, drama and atmosphere originally came with a modest $20 price tag, and marked the end (until a disappointing revival in 2008) of the Deer Hunter brand. It would be five years before DH2005 had a truly worthy rival and even then that rival, the improbably handsome The Hunter, came with its own disadvantages like perpetual summer and a potentially dear MMO-style subscription model.
Any gamer with a taste for stealth, fresh air, and wild spaces, still has every reason to seek out hunting simulation's IL-2, its Falcon 4.0. And sadly, you will need to actively seek it out. None of the big digital delivery sites deign to stock this misunderstood Monarch of the Glen.

Alec Baldwin isn't a subtle individual. Whenever something happens to the guy that he doesn't particularly enjoy, chances are you're going to hear about it. In fact, if the situation presents itself, he may even make light of the whole debacle on Saturday Night Live. As long as he's not hurting himself or others, listening to Baldwin rant endlessly about the things that make him cranky are an untapped source of pure entertainment. If TLC wants to develop a show entitled "Alec Baldwin Hates Everything", I'd love to pitch them the idea.
That having been said, Baldwin may want to consider dialing it down a notch. Although just about everyone hates the paparazzi, lashing out in such a violent manner isn't going to solve anything. Getting upset and telling them where, precisely, they can stick their flash bulb is one thing, but grabbing or shoving someone is unacceptable. I'm sure Baldwin doesn't feel this way, particularly since he retreated to Twitter to complain about how much these individuals suck at life.
A "photographer" almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning. #allpaparazzishouldbewaterboarded
According to the NY Daily News, Baldwin was leaving New York City's Marriage License Bureau when a photographer attempted to snap a shot. Alec, who claims the guy almost hit him with his camera, decided that enough was enough. That's when the actor assaulted the paparazzo, an exchange that was forever immortalized by another photographer's camera.
However, the story doesn't end there. While riding his mountain bike outside of his East Village apartment on Wednesday, he accidentally ran over a television reporter's foot. On his way back into the building, Baldwin shoved his way through the crowd, hitting people with the handlebars in the process. His response to the situation soon found its way onto Twitter.
15-20 cameramen outside my bldg this am, chasing me on my bike. They're knocking into ppl on the street, yelling "Will you seek help, Alec?"
The thing is, I kind of sympathize with the guy. I really do. Being hounded constantly by these clowns has to suck, but at the end of the day, acting out in such a fashion is only going to bring you more bad press. Would the paparazzi have been as numerous outside of his apartment had the supposed "assault" on Tuesday not taken place? Probably not. Instead, he should just mouth off, move along, and take his complaints to the world of social media.
After all, it's a lot funnier that way.

Methodical programming requires an expressive language. The language SPECTRUM was designed for the specification and development of software and hardware systems. SPECTRUM allows to describe systems in a property oriented way. The underlying logical calculus allows to handle the usual proof obligations in a deductive way. It is a calculus of natural deduction for a three-valued first order logic with induction principles. In difference to other algebraic languages SPECTRUM permits the use of partial functions, including non-strict ones, high-order functions and non-continuous functions. It uses a predicative polymorphism with type classes. Type classes are used to model overloading as well as many forms of parameterization. As an executable part of the language, SPECTRUM includes a functional language. Thus the language aims at the development of functional programs. The semantics of a specification is loose, given as the class of all models. In a stepwise refinement new properties are added to an existing specification. This leads to a restricted model class.
The language is especially designed for the modularization of large projects. Complex specifications can be hierarchically structured by combining specifications in combination with renaming and hiding. The language is powerful enough to express the implementation of specifications through more primitive specifications. With means of logical deduction it is possible to establish formal relationships between components of project documentation. The aim is to generate certain components automatically. To support the software development on a computer a collection of tools was designed. The ISABELLE theorem prover e.g. can be used to deduce theorems.

Stayed in the Arabian Nights room, V. impressive. Breakfast every morning was delicious, Heidi, who did all the cooking was very friendly. John made sure we had everything we needed from water when we were hiking to tea and coffee on our return. Staff always willing to help and chat. Would hihgly reccommend
Location is wonderful! Nearby pub and walks are great, good parking. Breakfast was great value and very nice. Yes, the room is too cold!! Hotels in Ireland need to heat the room and provide electric blanket all year!
Staff was very friendly. Room was quite comfortable. Hotel had a sauna (I didn't use it though). Very centrally located on the island with a nice view on the beach about 200m away. Breakfast was nice. Dinner was ok if you like meat (or fish). Shower was ok. tv with internal dvd player. Free WiFi. No big negatives but still: Official check in time only until 6pm (At request I was allowed to check in at 10pm because it's impossible to reach the island from Holland within 1 day before 6pm, they made no hassle). Bad typical "hotel music" in the restaurant (one cd with some instrumental pan-flute and piano versions of evergreens on repeat). No vegetarian dishes for dinner. No minibar. Only 8 tv channels. Shower was fixed and mounted a bit to low for me (I'm 1,84m). Pressure was not bad but hot water came up after 1min and disappeared for 5 minutes one time in my 4 night stay. No computer with internet available for guests (so BYO-laptop or go to the internet cafe 5min dive away.)
The staff were very friendly and the meal was beautiful and very reasonable. None
Everything about our brief stay at the Atlantic Breeze was A+. Not one thing to complain about. Easy to find and in a beautiful location. Mary was so nice and helpful and the view from her breakfast room is unbelievable. The breakfast itself was very good too. Highly recommend the Atlantic Breeze

I have a friend who is an avid Pokemon fan and who would love to see a big Pokemon gathering/photoshoot, or just random Pokemon cosplayers walking around. I'll be dressed as Jessie, and I'll be with a James and perhaps a Meowth and a Mime Jr., so I'd love to get some pictures with any trainers/Pokemon. ^^
