As the thousands of visitors lined up for the annual WYO Rodeo in Sheridan, CEO of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, Dixie Johnson, says the local economy sees an incredible boost. She explains the significance of the massive event when it comes to economic development.
But how exactly does the city and county benefit from the rodeo and the countless events? Johnson says the amount of tax revenue collected jumps considerably.
We'll have detailed figures on how this year's rodeo income fared compared to previous years as they become available.

roman clothing: Ancient Roman Fashion | Hair styles in Ancient Rome | toga party | togas | tunica |
The Toga is generally regarded as the item of Roman clothing, although clearly it wasn't the only item available. It was reserved for Roman citizens and generally used when appearing in public, a little like putting on a suit and tie.
The toga itself was a long oval or semi-circular sheet of woolen fabric, approximately three meters in width although its size could vary with the wearer's importance and wealth. It had no pockets or sleeves.
The toga's colour is generally accepted as having been white although it is likely that it could vary from brilliant white through to a more crude white akin to that of the natural colour of the wool. This would allow for the historical references to the "Toga Candida" (candid toga) worn by those competing for office - Candidates - also worn on public feasts and render it sufficiently different from the everyday "Toga Alba" (white toga). It is likely that those who were less affluent could render their Toga Alba sufficiently white by chalking it over.
Bearing in mind the ancient Rome's long history, the toga was worn in a handful of different ways, corresponding to different cuts and different means of wrapping it around the body. For example Cato, who had great respect for the austerity of the early Republic, often wore his toga in the rustic manner of old (clasped over the shoulder, possibly without a tunic or with a sleeveless tunic underneath).
Then we would have the toga as worn by Senators and Orators such as Cicero. In fact it is relatively easy to identify statues of orators because of their manner of dress and pose.
Julius Caesar enjoyed wearing his loosely so that it might drag on the floor behind him a little - in quite an effeminate manner it seems.
The images below give an idea of different types of toga and different results they might give....
In order to wear the toga it would be folded along its length and then draped round the wearer like a scarf, draped over the left shoulder, under the right shoulder and over the left again. One end would be left hanging down the back whilst the other was folded into a fold in the front of the body. The end could be fastened with a pin called a fibula on the shoulder.
On religious feasts and other such occasions when it might be necessary to cover the head the part of the toga which was drawn over the right shoulder could be drawn over the head. This means of covering the head was limited to the city as travellers would wear hats to cover their heads when necessary.
It is unclear whether there was any sort of tying around the waist or not but it is likely that this would have been provided by an extra piece of toga rather than a separate item of apparel. It seems that the likes of Julius Caesar and Maecenas preferred to keep waist loosened, allowing the rest of the gown to flow out and hang around the back and near the feet.
There were different types of Toga according to one's social rank and position in society. The highest order of Toga was the purple toga ("purpurea") inherited from the Etruscans during the reign of the fifth King of Rome Tarquinius Priscus (616-579).
Other types of toga were the
The Purpurea, Picta, Palmata, Trabea and Chlamys probably varied in decoration rather like military grades might vary from one rank to another. They were therefore quite similar although not identical. For example the Chlamys of the emperor could be all purple but with a golden embroidery around the edge.
The toga or other clothing could be covered by a gown or cloak called the Lacerna or Penula according to their length. At first this was used in the military camp or for travelling but it's usefulness against the weather gradually brought it into the city also. There might also have been a slight difference in colour between the two types of cloak.

Make Her Love You With Flowers
From generation to generation, women have always loved receiving the gift of flowers. Simply put, flora are a symbol of life and beauty and thus, when received, women don't just feel vibrant and full of life, they feel beautiful and incredibly special.
Showing her your love with a specially-made bouquet will only increase her affection for you, and make her feel like she's still the most important person in your life. In turn, you will reap the benefits as it will be her pleasure to reciprocate the feelings you garnered her with.
i'm not so sorryObviously, flowers go a long way when it comes to apologies and special occasions, but for the most part, the best time to give her flowers is when there's no occasion at all. When you buy her roses because you messed up, although the gesture is still wonderful, it's evident that it's a cry for forgiveness.
But if you buy her flowers just because you want her to know that you love her and think of her constantly, she'll feel more attractive and appreciated like never before. The element of surprise (considering there really is no special occasion) will also add to her pleasant revelation.
flower breakdownFor future reference, this is what the following popular flowers generally represent:
It's quite likely that she won't know what each flower represents, so perhaps your best bet is to specify what they mean in the card attached to the bouquet, and tell her why you chose them. Now there are some real bonus points.
You probably just want to buy something and get it over with, right? Here are some ideas...

Dame Vera to unveil Dunkirk plaque
Forces' sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn is set to unveil a Dunkirk memorial plaque.
Singer Dame Vera, who was then a 21-year-old singer in London's theatreland, and cheered battle-torn troops with songs such as We'll Meet Again, and The White Cliffs of Dover, will unveil the memorial in Ramsgate.
The then Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, described the evacuation as a "miracle".
But Dame Vera said: "To be honest it was just another blur in all the bombing as far as I was concerned. I was so busy dashing around London from the theatre and to my radio broadcast, Sincerely Yours.
"But when I found out what had happened, like everyone else, I thought it was so tragic for those that did not come back.
"And also it was so wonderful and brave of the crews of the Little Ships to go over and rescue so many of our boys."
The plaque, in honour of the East Kent Dunkirk Veterans' Association and the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships, will have pride of place at East Kent Maritime Museum, at the Royal Harbour, Ramsgate.
Final salute
The flotilla of Little Ships which went to Dunkirk on Friday to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the evacuation, has set off on the return journey to Ramsgate.
The veteran boats, ranging from luxury yachts to fishing trawlers, are due to reach British shores by 1530 BST where they will be welcomed by Dame Vera.
Rob Stokes, secretary of the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships, which organised the event, said the forecast predicted rain but no wind for the journey.
"This will be fine for the crossing, even though a few people will get wet,"
he said.
The prince took the salute then visited Pegasus Bridge in Normandy to pay tribute to the Allied Forces who took part in the D-Day invasion four years after Dunkirk.
In Dunkirk, hundreds of British veterans who were among the 338,226 troops rescued from the beaches stood in formation, their medals glittering in the sunshine.
About 700 marched past the prince outside the town hall, while another 100, who were unable to march, watched with the crowd.
One veteran, Walter Darvill, 81, from Pontefract, West Yorkshire, collapsed and died as he joined hundreds of fellow ex-servicemen for the Dunkirk commemoration.

Fort Thompson man gets prison time for assault
A Fort Thompson man will spend nearly two years in prison for assault with a dangerous weapon.
Myron Touche Sr., 44, was sentenced Aug. 26 to 22 months in prison. He will also spend 18 months on supervised release and pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
A federal grand jury indicted Touche in February. He pled guilty to the above charge in June.
The charge stems from an incident occurring on Nov. 10, 2012, when Touche was at the trailer house of his niece and her boyfriend. Two individuals were arguing in the bedroom, and Touche confronted the two arguing. Touche grabbed a gun that was by the front door and pointed it at the victim. The victim and another individual were able to wrestle the gun away from Touche.
Touche was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

Little Girl With Disability Petitions "American Girl"
Little Girl Petitions "American Girl" for a Disabled Doll Just Like Her
10-year-old Melissa Shang has petitioned American Girl to create a doll with a disability.
"American Girl" dolls are as popular as ever. If you're the parent of a young girl, you are well aware of the expensive dolls, and all the accessories and extras that go along with each collection – not to mention the American Girl Places where girls can take their dolls to the cafe for lunch, and then, of course, to the spa to get their hair done.
One of the main reasons the American Girl franchise remains so successful is they not only have specialty dolls from different decades, with different histories and back stories, but they also have an option for you to build a doll that looks just like you. From ethnicity to hairstyle, every girl can customize their doll to look just like them.
Like most 10-year-old girls, Melissa Shang loves American Girl dolls; unfortunately, she can't get her doll to look exactly like her – because she has Muscular Dystrophy and American Girl doesn't feature any disabled characters. So Melissa and her older sister took to the internet, made an adorable video directed at the toy company and started a petition to change the face of American Girl.
It's no wonder the petition already has 130,000 signatures, here's what it says:
When I was seven, like most of my classmates, I fell in love with American Girl dolls – historical and modern girls with stories about overcoming obstacles. I've read all of the books, seen all of the movies, and even visited the American Girl Place in New York City. For the past three years, I've asked for an American Girl doll for Christmas.
However, none of the American Girl "Girls of the Year" are like me. None of them have a disability.
Being a disabled girl is hard. Muscular Dystrophy prevents me from activities like running and ice-skating, and all the stuff that other girls take for granted. For once, I don't want to be invisible or a side character that the main American Girl has to help: I want other girls to know what it's like to be me, through a disabled American Girl's story.
As of now, you can buy a wheelchair as an accessory for any doll, but apparently no specific girl has a story or book about being disabled. There are plenty of other disabilities that aren't represented by the $40 wheelchair accessory as well.
American Girl hasn't responded to the petition yet. (BuzzFeed)

The report says the city's Industrial Development Agency may have violated a law in creating massive amounts of public debt, and failing to assure public benefits from the investment. The Yankees got $336 million from the city and state, and up to $500 million in interest savings on IRS-approved tax-exempt bonds, according to the report.

Media Advisory: Carnegie Mellon's Kathy Newman Reflects on 60th Anniversary of "On the Waterfront" and How Oppressive Working Conditions Still Plague Labor WorkersContact: Shilo Rea / 412-268-6094 / email@example.com
The Story: "On the Waterfront," the Academy Award-winning film about an ex-prize fighter turned longshoreman who stands up to his corrupt union bosses, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this week. Starring Marlon Brando, Eva Marie Saint, Karl Madden and other iconic actors, the film, widely considered to be one of the best ever made, also was surrounded in political controversy. Most people believe that Director Elia Kazan made the movie in response to those who condemned him for naming former communists working in the film industry before the 1952 House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC).
Carnegie Mellon University's Kathy M. Newman, a labor issues expert, reflects on the film in "Revisiting 'On the Waterfront,'" an opinion piece published in "Jacobin Magazine." Newman, associate professor of English in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, notes that the movie's central theme — oppressive and dangerous working conditions for dock and other laborers — still persists today.
"For most people 'On the Waterfront' is just a great film, but if you go deeper and know how Kazan snitched on his friends and made the politically conscious movie to justify actions that can't be justified, it becomes much more," Newman said. "But even more so, that view pushes aside the real fundamental labor problems that it brought to life — some that still plague dock and other labor workers. We've lost sight of the film's true origins, which were trying to do something to get Americans focused on the dangerous working conditions and unfair hiring processes that led to corruption."
Newman points to the recent Los Angeles dock and truck driver strike and how the waterfront is both a site and symbol for America even today.
For more information, read "Revisiting 'On the Waterfront'" at https://www.jacobinmag.com/2014/07/revisiting-on-the-waterfront/.
Availability: Newman is available for phone, Skype or radio interviews to share more on these topics.

Viewpoint: Keep an eye on the MPCA
I applaud Cottage Grove Mayor Myron Bailey for saying that "he will not vote to approve a list of recommendations issued recently by a task force that studied proposed amendments to 3M's hazardous waste incinerator permits without an agreement to insert language permanently prohibiting commercial incineration at the site."
Remember when 3M stated (for seven months) that they would need one truck a day of waste from outside companies to meet their fuel needs? One truck a day is 10,000,000 pounds a year of hazardous waste brought into our neighborhoods. Now, they want to raise that to 20,000,000 pounds a year -- anything wrong with this picture? Oh, and did I mention that all of this crap will be traveling on our roads from across the country? The rest of us use the natural gas that is available right here -- no muss, no fuss! We pay our bills; we don't complain, and we certainly don't expect 3M to give us any help with payments. Wouldn't it make sense for 3M to use this resource also? And, wouldn't it make more sense for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to suggest to almighty 3M that they too use this resource? What gives?
Perhaps we the citizens of Cottage Grove need to be protected from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Case in point: If the agency is supposed to be concerned about the health and wellbeing of us citizens, how can they approve of 3M asking to bring in 20,000,000 pounds of outside waste from another state to be burned in our city? The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and 3M say this is clean waste. They almost make it sound like we should think this is good for us and we should believe this. I don't think so! The question then becomes if the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and 3M think this is so low in contaminants, why isn't it being recycled in the first place?
Another factor that concerns me is, how many of these 3M personnel actually live among us? This would be an interesting fact to know. How many of them breathe our air and drink our water? Do they walk the walk or just talk the talk?
I'm also wondering if anyone else saw the irony of the article in the Nov. 4 Bulletin, "3M dirt removal to start this month." It outlines a proposal to dig up dirt contaminated with PFCs to reduce the amount of PFCs that have contaminated our drinking water. The city council needs to pass the ordinance banning commercial incinerators. There certainly seems to be a questionable relationship between the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and 3M. Bill Nelson of 3M makes the following statement on the task force recommendations: "The overriding point is the city of Cottage Grove does not have permitting authority over this issue." Another way of saying that might be that 3M can do whatever they want to do because the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is on their side and the city residents really don't count. I feel we need to question the relationship between 3M and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and do everything we can to get back citizen control of what happens in our city and with our quality of life. As I stated earlier: "Perhaps we citizens need to be protected from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency."
In closing, I want to thank the mayor and city council for standing up for each of us Cottage Grove citizens. It is in each of you that we place our trust.
Trish Thompson is a Cottage Grove resident.

in London please?
Best regards,Cher
What about this?: http://www.media-courses.com/?
Is this the quicker and easiest route I need to learn something fast and just get the main parts?
Right i think it's better doing it my way intensive but am up for the challenge and am willing to work really hard.
Yeah that's fine thank you very much Cher my Big Sister of course only one course at a time i won't do more than one because i need to focus or concentrate on one course only, can't attend lots of classes at once.
Which are the best film scripts that get hollywood awards?
No problem anytime my good friend Cher.
So who was the one that came up with movies in the first place was it the Japanese?
Best regards,Cher
So why is Japanese Animation movies not popular around the world?
Hi did you get my last message?
More like actual Computer Animation movies like Toy Story but Japanese style i meant because they don't get awards or do the Japanese get rewards i hardly seen much Japanese Computer Animation movies in my country and/or town and heard much about them?
Now worries you was late my good friend and had problems.
Hi again, William.Sorry, I was offline when you posted back and I've just returned. Thanks for your patience.Yes, movies like Toy Story are done by American film studios, and most likely the Japanese animated films are shown mainly in Japan. Sometimes a 'short' or more famous full length movie will get recognition in other countries, if it is entered into film festivals, etc. I'm sure there are Japanese animated movies, but they just might not be as famous and therefore, not shown internationally, only in Japan.
Is Internships the best training to get into become a movie director, script writer, producer and acting since the other expert said it is Veronica said?
Hi again, William.I hope you're having a great day!I'm going to have to ask you to open a new, separate question to my attention (begin with "For Cher") about Internships, because this one is on a different subject. In addition, I would ask you to please rate some of my previous answers so I can continue assisting you. Thanks very much!Best regards,Cher

Lena is very knowledgeable. She was also able to ask her fellow colleagues for recommendations on a few things, including a local structural engineer. She has amazing follow up and follow through skills. She helped us get into our dream home at the same time helping us sell our home in a tight timeline. Her hard work was very appreciated, and we could always count on Lena.
Lena truly went above and beyond to help us with the sale of our home which was especially helpful while we were living an hour and a half away from the house while it was on the market. She kept the house looking awesome (even watering plants!), helped coordinate with vendors, and negotiated strongly on our behalf. We absolutely think we got the best possible price for our house. She was professional, communicative and just perfect!
Lena is always on top of things. Extremely knowledgable. Goes above and beyond. Absolutely amazing experience!
Our agent was very helpful. She definitely looked out for our best interests and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. When selling our home, there were some time sensitive issues, and Lena went the extra mile and working late to make sure all our documents got completed. Thanks Lena for everything!
Lena was very informative, gave good advice, she always got back to me if I left a message, and would check in with me. The whole experience was very smooth and fast!
Really enjoyed working with Lena

Three Cent Cinema have been carrying the pop punk flag in Chicago since 2009. Now in 2012 they have finally released their debut album Ages. The main thing I got from listening to Ages over and over again was pure emotion. Now you're probably saying "Hey Mike doesn't every band put emotion into their music" well internet dude the short answer is no. Throughout Ages topics such as loneliness, wasted opportunities, and lack of confidence are brought up. This isn't a happy record by any stretch. Near the end of the album you just want to scream "Hey cheer up things aint so bad". Ages clocks in at about 25 minutes so the themes and topics don't wear you out. Call me old fashioned but I love to have physical copies of records. Since I'm also a big lyric buff I read along as I listened to the album. Some of my favorite lyrics are
From Jughead:
"I've been trying to make believe that it's not just you and me that there's something more to this than my lack of confidence"
From Still Life:
"waiting is all that I do drowning in dry thoughts I waste time alone in my room"
I've never been much of an album reviewer but I do love to talk about good music. I'm not going to rate this album but what I will say is that I really enjoyed it and I definitely recommend it.

This article originally appeared in the March 2008 issue of Drum Corps World (Volume 36, Number 18).
In 1991, when I was 15 years old, I traded in my piccolo, bought a mouthpiece and jumped into a friend's car to go to an introductory meeting for a brand-new drum and bugle corps called Jersey Surf. For three summers, from 1991 to 1993, I marched with Surf, playing a baritone that was nearly half the size I was.
It's 16 years later now and I've earned a BS in civil engineering, worked several jobs and nearly completed an MBA and Master in Healthcare Administration, leading my class both inside and outside the classroom. As I've been interviewing for full-time positions, I've discovered that many of my strengths were born in the years I marched drum corps.
In a team, everyone wins or everyone fails. There's no in between. When you march a show, everyone matters. If the bass drum is not where they should be on the field, the formation is off, at the very best. If one of the rifles has a drop, the effect is ruined. If one of the baritones is off in their intonation, something just doesn't sound right.
We were scored together, as a corps, as a section. So when one person was off, everyone suffered, and when we were on, it was magic. Because of that, everyone wanted to be right — we strived for excellence, we worked hard to perfect our show and we didn't want to let each other down.
Today that value for the importance of everyone in a team is the foundation of my philosophy of leadership. When I lead, I make sure people understand their role and the effect it has on the whole. I remind them that we win and lose together, and what every person does and how they do it has an effect on the whole. The business school that I go to is known for its commitment to teamwork, but my commitment to teamwork was cemented when I was marching corps.
Learn from your mistakes. Feedback in drum corps is the building block of improvement. After every show the staff poured over recap sheets, showing the breakdown of our score, analyzing how we needed to improve. Sections listened to audio tapes of section-specific feedback from the judges. The entire corps watched the videotape of the show . . . and then watched it again.
Discussions about failures were frank. No-one was berated, but there was also no fear in pointing out mistakes, whether it was someone out of step or an entire line out of place. And the response was simple. "Thank you for pointing that out, I will not do that again." I have carried that with me into my professional life, knowing that every weakness is an opportunity for growth and being diligent in seeking ways to improve. Because of that, I have earned the respect of my classmates and the administration, and I have a reputation as someone committed to improvement and excellence.
Leave it better than when you came. Drum corps is a transient life. For several weeks during the summer, the corps takes to the road, sleeping on the floors of random gyms nationwide. At each place we stayed, the mantra was the same — leave it better than when you came. It doesn't matter if the mess isn't yours, or even if it was there when you came. If you can do something about it, do it. If you can't do something about it, find someone who can.
At 31, I'm not really sleeping on the floors of school gyms anymore, but I have brought this mantra into the organizations I've been a part of. When I returned to school, I thought, what can I do to leave this better than it is now? Over the past three years, I have helped launch a school-wide integrity initiative, worked at top levels, developing executive education, administrating a program in which 80 students get real-world business experience, mentoring other students in their career search and helping other people understand how to make an impact. And all of this because I was taught to leave it better than when I came.
You can do more than you think you can. It's hard to describe the feeling you get when it's 10:00 PM at night and the staff calls for one last full run-through. The day started at 7:00 or 8:00 AM with breakfast and warm-ups. There's been hours of marching basics, sectional rehearsals and partial run-throughs. It was 90 degrees all day long — although at 10:00 PM it's cooled off to a balmy 88 — and the hot pavement has softened the soles of the shoes you're wearing.
You've just finished two full run-throughs and your gloves are soaked through with sweat. You're not sure that you can blow another note, toss another four, play another paradiddle.
And then you do, one step, one note, one count at a time. The run-through is tight and, in fact, it's the best thing you've done all day. It's because everyone put their head down and took one more step, and you're better for it. Drum corps doesn't typically bring huge, life-changing challenges, but it teaches you that you can go beyond what you think you can do, if you take it one step at a time, and that builds character piece by piece.
In the last three years, I have drawn heavily on the character that was shaped during corps. During my first year of grad school, right before finals, I experienced utter chaos in my family as my father passed away and my mother was diagnosed with stage-four cancer.
Somehow I made it through that time, moving my mother into my home, burying my father and completing my finals with high marks, because I knew that sometimes you just have to put your head down and push through things you're not sure you can handle, one step at a time.

Bereaved Father Serves Instead of His Daughter (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Elad Benari & Yoni Kempinski 05/04/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/155219#.T6TkLuiO2So
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
Maayan Naim, a soldier who served in the Tel Hashomer base, was killed in a terror attack during her military service. Arutz Sheva met her father, Chaim, at the base in which she served.
After his daughters death Chaim, who at the time was a peddler in the market, decided that he wanted to continue her path in every sense of the word, and serve in the same place where she had served. Chaim joined the base as an IDF employee.
The loss of Maayan is felt at the base, whether its in the corners dedicated in her memory or in the connection between Chaim and those who knew Maayan and served with her in the base before she was killed.
Chaim put up some pictures, painted the place, and cleaned it up so it feels more like home.
The place didnt look so good when I came here, so I cleaned it up a bit," he said. "I put up some decorations. I planted a little garden here and I made a little spring (maayan in Hebrew means spring) and whoever understands it will understand."
Chaims way of dealing with his loss is a source of inspiration to all those who surround him. Chaim didnt bring his mourning to the base, but more of the liveliness of the market, where he worked before his daughters death.
Michelle Meidan Yanko, Casualty Officer of the Logistics Corps, said that Chaims integration in the base is actually the familys return to life. He has an opportunity to get up in the morning and go to a place where he can express his sorrow and his pain in a way that helps the system.
She recalled that Chaim spent some time in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, bringing each soldier his equipment. Its something that really helped him. It also endangered him a bit, and thats why he stopped doing it, but its something that really helped him and his family. Mazal, his wife, also comes here sometimes, once in a while. Its something that allows them to see that the IDF remembers Maayan and for them to give to the army as gratitude for Maayans service and for everything that is done for them. They really appreciate it. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 05/04/12)

My Tent Or Yours (right): Ayr hopeful
Nicky Henderson is keen to find out whether the application of headgear will help harness the considerable talent of My Tent Or Yours in the QTS Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr on Saturday.
The seven-year-old has enjoyed a fine season so far, winning the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton en-route to his Champion Hurdle bid at last month's Cheltenham Festival.
While he lost little in defeat, going down by a neck to fellow JP McManus-owned runner Jezki, My Tent Or Yours' early exuberance may have cost him victory and he is now fitted with a hood in an attempt to kerb his enthusiasm.
Henderson said: "Everything has gone great since Cheltenham and I just wanted to give him one more run so we could try a few different things with him.
"I know it's a handicap, but it's a limited handicap with good prize-money.
"There weren't many alternatives. It was either this or Punchestown (Racing Post Champion Hurdle) and there wasn't much point in him taking on Jezki again as far as JP is concerned.
"Jezki is going to Punchestown, so we'll go to Ayr and we'll see what happens.
"They will be racing on fresh ground, so there shouldn't be any worries on that score."
My Tent Or Yours concedes upwards of a stone in weight to 10 opponents, headed by last week's Aintree winner, Court Minstrel.
Evan Williams turns his charge out under a penalty just seven days after his Merseyside triumph.
He said: "He's come out of Aintree exceptionally well and we're happy to let him run.
"It's not just about the top horse, Alan King (Montbazon) and Gordon Elliott (Flaxen Flare) have good horses in there - it's a very competitive race.
"Our horse is in great form and deserves to take his chance, so we'll see what happens."
King believes Montbazon is in even better form now than when finishing a close-up third in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month.
He told his website www.alankingracing.co.uk: "He was third in the County Hurdle and the form is looking pretty good with the winner (Lac Fontana) going in again at Aintree last week.
"I hope and think he has improved for that run as we did not have a clear run going into the Festival, but things have gone perfectly since.
"He seems in great form and we are getting plenty of weight from My Tent Of Yours, so we have to give it a go, and the drying ground is definitely a bonus."
Clever Cookie has enjoyed an excellent campaign for trainer Peter Niven, completing a hat-trick in the Premier Kelso Hurdle at the start of March.
Niven said: "It will be a big ask for him, obviously, but he's in good form and we'll find out if he's any good.
"We gave him an entry at Aintree last week, but we decided to wait for this. Josses Hill bolted up in the Aintree race, anyway.
"I always had this race at the back of my mind, so we'll see what happens."
Cotton Mill, Cockney Sparrow, Ifandbutwhynot, Swing Bowler, Silk Hall and Barizan also line up.

Back a few mere months ago, we wrote about how to make Firefox 3.x look at home in KDE Software Compilation 4.X. To date, this has been the most-viewed article on The Blue Mint. The reason is clear: People like Firefox. Be it the extensions, familiarity, general responsiveness (that gets better with each release), or the cross-platform compatibility, Firefox is here to stay. And it remains the flagship web browser of choice within the GNU/Linux playing field.
Recent reports have Firefox continuing to gain ground on Internet Explorer. This trend I think will continue for the foreseeable future. This is not meant to be a debate on web browsers and their merits. I'll leave the "browser xxxxxxx is the greatest ever" discussions on your forum of choice. It's just a simple fact that Firefox is a force in the Linux community. And backed by a company with cash, Mozilla, who's goal it is to make Firefox the best browser it can be.
Most of us who use the KDE Plasma Desktop or Netbook use Firefox at least intermittently, if not daily. However it does not take using Firefox very long in KDE to realize that it's not a native KDE application. That's right, you read that here first! :) Seriously, though, as you know Firefox is an application that utilizes GTK as it's GUI-building tool. This of course looks right at home in Gnome and XFCE, but a little out of place in KDE-land.
In the first blog post in this series, we outlined a few steps to take to start to get Firefox behaving in a more "KDE-like" manner, as well as looking more at home in KDE. While this was successful, there have been changes already even in these two months since that original post that can help us with this mission even further. We will discuss those here.
One note here: some of these steps are alternatives or replacements for the recommended tweaks listed in the first article. The first one discussed here is one such replacement: replacing the "KDE4 Oxygen icons for Firefox" theme with "Oxygen KDE". The last two of the three, the openSUSE/KDE integration and allowing Firefox to utilize the KDE Plasma Notify system, are in addition to those steps outlined earlier. So I will provide a summary at the end so that everything needed to do today is wrapped up in one (hopefully) concise, updated article.
This just in: a new KDE SC 4 theme has arrived (to much fanfare)In the first article, we recommended using the nice add-on from Ramón Antonio Parada, called "KDE4 Oxygen icons for Firefox". This was a great add-on for getting Firefox's main GUI to look a little more at home in KDE. On the downside, it was only an icon theme and therefore left the menu system and dialogue boxes alone. A few days ago, however, a new theme was released from user jimmy88 over at KDE-look.org. Entitled "Oxygen KDE", this add-on is actually an entire theme that fully integrates Oxygen's look and feel throughout the application. This includes all dialogue boxes and menu items, all the way down to the Help > About Mozilla Firefox screen. The author really nailed this one out of the park.
To install, simply download the theme, open Dolphin (or Konqueror) and drag the downloaded file into the Firefox Add-ons window. Take a look at the screen shots to see what you think.
Oxygen KDE can be found on kde-look.org
openSUSE 11.2 brings much needed under-the-hood tweaks to the stock Firefox installation
One of the benefits of open source is that something that benefits one group will surely benefit others as well. One such effort was made by the openSUSE community in the form of the KDE Integration Project. This brings many needed enhancements to the way Firefox behaves. Notably, setting proper protocols, file type handlers, and mimetypes to use the KDE-preferred ones as opposed to the defaults, which are built more for a Debian-based Ubuntu / GTK system. For example, if you use KMail, email links should open in KMail instead of just sitting there leaving you wonder what the point of clicking that mailto: link was for. These changes were made for openSUSE 11.2's KDE implementation.
Luckily, due to popular demand, these changes were also released to us in the form of a .deb PPA that we as Mint or Kubuntu users can add to our software sources to add this changes to our systems as well.
A full description of the changes made can be found on the openSUSE KDE/Firefox Integration page, including a nice table layout showing all of the enhancements made. And for the ones that were not, a reason why or a workaround. For example, as we discussed in part one of this topic, the Firefox add-on FlashGot already handles KGet file download integration as well as some other (potentially, depending on how you use your system) very useful functionality.
Just as an aside, many distributions, for whatever reason, do not include KGet by default. Of course it is easy to install using your package manager of choice. And recommended, since it brings many features to the table with added functionality regarding how, when. and where files should be downloaded from/to. A big improvement over Firefox's default "Save As" function. See the Features section on the KGet website over at UserBase for more information.
The page for openSUSE KDE/Firefox Integration is here,
and the Souces PPA information is over at Felix Geyer's Launchpad page
Installing the Plasma-Notify Firefox Plug-in
As we all know, Plasma is an important part of our desktop experience. One of the things that annoys me to no end with running GTK applications in KDE is that the system notifications would be this yellow-ish box that would pop up where normally a crisp, attractive Plasma notification should render. Luckily, there's a remedy to this (don't you just love the extensibility that a plug-in driven application brings?). It comes in the form of Andreas Demmer's Plasma Notify add-on. Basically, this plug-in simply replaces the GTK notification by making Firefox use the inherit KDE notification (a.k.a. Plasma) subsystem.
The Plama Notify Add-on is located on the Mozilla Add-ons page here.
Putting it all together for a unified Firefox-KDE experience
In summary, these are the new changes needed to integrate Firefox into the KDE Plasma Desktop. After installing these, to finish it all off, perform the final two tweaks to fully integrate Firefox into KDE. These below, listed in quotes, are taken from the earlier article and listed here for convenience and completeness sake.
Make Firefox a little more like Konqueror
If you are a long time KDE user, you might be used to using Konqueror as your web browser, as well as possible your file manager. If so, this Add-on will make your Firefox life a little easier by adding navigation and zoom buttons to your navigation bar. Sometimes, it's the little touches that make all the difference.
I did notice that when I installed this Add-on, I had to go to view > toolbars > customize... to add these buttons. But they do work, and come in handy. I especially find myself using the 'Clear location URL' button quite a bit. Beats holding the backspace button down for those long URL's.
Using KGet with Firefox to manage downloads
This is one I like a lot. In order to use KGet with Firefox you need to install the FlashGot Add-on. Not only do you get to use KDE's versatile download manager KGet to manage all of your downloads, but FlashGot adds several useful features on top of this functionality. In a word:
FlashGot is the free Mozilla / Firefox / Flock / Thunderbird extension, meant to handle single and massive ("all" and "selection") downloads with several external Download Managers.
As you can see, FlashGot brings a lot to the party. Peter Upfold has a nice article on using FlashGot with Firefox within KDE over at FOSSwire. Check his article out for more information. For me to add anything else on the matter would simply be redundant.
So there you have it, a full list of things you can do to make Firefox look all shiny and KDE-like. Many thanks go to all of the people who did their part to make this all happen. Hopefully you have found this article useful. If you have, share the love via the "Share This" icon below. What other Firefox/KDE tweaks or add-ons have you found useful? List them in the comments section below. I would like the discussion to be as all-inclusive as possible for anyone looking to make their experience in using Firefox within the KDE Plasma Desktop or Netbook as pleasant and productive as possible. As well as, of course, beautiful.

Bighorn Sheep Hunting News
British Columbia Hunt Codes For Bear and Skeena Sheep Incorrect - Check Applications
IMPORTANT NOTICE for those who have used the Hunt Codes supplied on the 2011 Spring Grizzly Bear and Skeena Mountain Sheep final numbers.
Colorado DOW Transplants Bighorn Sheep on Western Slope
In an effort to improve long-term survival of desert bighorn sheep in western Colorado, the Colorado Division of Wildlife has moved 15 of the majestic animals into prime bighorn habitat in the Middle Dolores River canyon.
Twenty years ago, the Division established a new population of desert bighorn in the Upper Dolores Canyon area in San Miguel County with a group of 50 sheep obtained from Nevada. Over time, the herd has grown to number about 150 animals.
20 Oregon Bighorn Sheep Transplanted to Wyoming
After an all night drive from the John Day River Area in northern Oregon, another 20 bighorn sheep have been relocated some 900 miles from their original home to Wyoming's Seminoe Mountains.
According to WGFD bighorn sheep coordinator Kevin Hurley, the new transplant will supplement 20 Oregon sheep released Dec. 2, 2009, in the Seminoes along with 12 bighorns from the Devil's Canyon area above Lovell released Jan. 3, 2010. Hurley said the sheep released last year are doing well and at least a dozen lambs were documented this spring from last winter's transplant.
Colorado DOW Seeking Info on Bighorn Sheep Poaching
The Colorado Division of Wildlife is seeking information on the poaching of a bighorn sheep in the Poudre Canyon before Thanksgiving.
"Visitors to the Poudre Canyon value and enjoy seeing the sheep here," said Chad Morgan, Poudre Canyon District Wildlife Officer."It is a shame that someone would poach in an area like this, as we are trying very hard to rebuild the herd and ensure their health in the canyon."
Morgan asked that anyone who may have information about the case to call Operation Game Thief.
US Court of Appeals Questions Necessity of Water as Conservation Tool in Arizona
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit announced that, while conservation of desert bighorn sheep is a purpose of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness, the existing record is not sufficient to demonstrate that the 2007 installation of the Yaqui and McPherson wildlife waters was necessary to reverse the historic decline in the Kofa desert bighorn sheep herd.
Montana Seeking Public Comment on Several Items
The Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission is seeking public comment on several recent proposals.
Texas Moves Bighorn Sheep into Big Bend Ranch State Park
Forty-six desert bighorn sheep bolted out of transport trailers and up into the Bofecillos Mountains along the Rio Grande this week. The 12 rams and 34 ewes were captured by helicopter at Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area and moved to Big Bend Ranch State Park on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 21-22.
Oregon Releases Bighorn Sheep at Two Locations
ODFW released California bighorn sheep at two new locations this month, Cottonwood Canyon State Park and near the John Day Fossil Beds.
Cottonwood Canyon is a new state park in the John Day River Canyon scheduled to open in 2013. While there are a few bighorn sheep in the park's southern edge, this month's operation was the first time sheep have been released at the park.
Wyoming 2011 NonResident Application Booklets Available Now

A LEADING Thalidomide campaigner from North Yorkshire has hailed news that the Government is to continue funding the ongoing health costs of victims of the drug as an "early Christmas present."
The Thalidomide Trust is to receive £80 million of government funding over the next ten years, Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb announced yesterday.
Guy Tweedy, 50, of Harrogate, who has a shortened left arm and deformed fingers on both hand, said the renewed grant meant a great deal to the 431 Thalidomiders still living in the UK today, and would cover some of the costs of their ever-increasing health needs and the rising expense of their day-to-day living with deformities caused by the "wonder drug."
In May 1962, the drug – prescribed to pregnant women as a cure for morning sickness – was withdrawn after it was linked to crippling side effects in new born babies.
At least 2,000 were born with deformities brought about directly by Thalidomide, and more than half of them died within their first year.
An unknown number also died in the womb.

Wonderful trip! Alaska is incredible and the Millennium is lovely.: Celebrity Millennium Cruise Review by Upinthehills
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful trip! Alaska is incredible and the Millennium is lovely.
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
Each of us loved this trip! The itinerary, the ship, the crew, the food, the excursions, were all really, really good. Of course, there was the random meal that wasnt a favorite and the occasional crew member that rubbed someone the wrong way. Some excursions were better than others. As a whole though, it really was an outstanding trip. Because this was a back to back we had the opportunity to visit each port (except Seward on turnaround day) twice.
Hubbard Glacier day was very cold one week, but we got within a More mile and half of the glacier. We could see and hear the glacier calving, which is a marvel. It was overcast and drizzly, so we couldnt see the surrounding mountains; didnt even know they were there in fact. The next week it was sunny and warm. We could only get to about six miles from the glacier and couldnt see or hear calving this time. We could see all of the mountains and the grandeur of the spot better than the week before. Im not sure which I prefer, once we saw it up close and personal but couldnt see the big picture, the next week we saw all of the surroundings, but couldnt get right up next to it. Both were incredible.
Two of our group disembarked in Seward and took the train to Anchorage. The other twelve of us were fortunate enough to get back on the ship for another week of cruising. The back to back process was very smooth. Ten of us were kayaking and we just got off like you would in any port. They had given us a transit pass that allowed us to bypass the check in process when we returned to the ship. We had a special line to go through where they just issued us another sea pass card. Two of our group had stayed on the ship. They were asked to meet in one of the conference rooms with all of the other back to back guests and were ushered down to have another sea pass card issued to them. Super easy and very smooth either way you do it.
The Millennium is a lovely ship. Shes showing her age a little, but is still beautiful. We had aft cabins on both decks seven and nine. The aft cabins on nine were very noisy because of the bar area right above them. The cabins on 7 aft were wonderful. All of the aft cabins have enormous balconies and being aft they are mostly protected from the wind. Some have questioned if there is soot, but we never saw any. We had two lounge chairs, four outdoor chairs, one larger dining height table and one small occasional table on our balcony. The rooms themselves are fairly typical for many cruise ships; small but comfortable enough.
One thing I noticed and we all agreed was that it rarely felt crowded on the ship. Embarkation day in the buffet, debarkation day in the buffet, a couple of times as we waited for the theater to open were about the only times it felt crowded. Go to Bistro on 5 on embarkation day for a quiet spot out of the crowds. Its always easy to find a nice quiet spot to sit and have a drink or to visit. I was impressed by the overall intimate feel of the ship.
Since we were a large group and wanted to eat together each night we had early seating in the Metropolitan dining room. The first week we were 14 people and were at two neighboring tables. We switched back and forth between the two often so that we could all vary who we were eating with. The second week we had gone to 12 people so we were moved to a large table that could seat all of us. Most of the food and the presentation were very good. We found a few things we didnt care for, but asking for another choice was always accommodated. The bar staff, sommelier, and maitre d were attentive and prompt.
The foods on the buffet were pretty hit and miss. Sometimes there were jewels to be found, other times not so much. The pasta station where you can create your own pasta dish, the sandwich station where theyd build a sandwich to your specs, the omelet station, etc. were always very good, but often had long lines. The flow of the buffet seems awkward. I do appreciate that its not all one long line, but smaller stations. It just seemed to be hard to navigate. Id usually walk the entire thing before picking up a plate to decide where I wanted to go. That was fine for me, but my mom cant walk long distances and it was difficult for her. Room service offered a good variety, but quality was spotty. We also ate at the Bistro on 5 a few times, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The $5 upcharge was well worth the quieter, intimate atmosphere. The crepes and Paninis were wonderful. We did not try any of the other additional charge restaurants, so I cannot comment on them.
Our two 15 year old girls did some of the activities in the X Club and enjoyed them. There were probably 25 teens onboard each week. I saw quite a few younger kids out on scavenger hunts and doing a talent show. I talked to one couple that said their child was enjoying it so much they had a hard time getting him to leave. I was worried our 3 teens would be bored without a rock wall, water slides, etc., but they werent. They had a great time and say this is their favorite cruise so far! The average age onboard seemed to skew younger than I had expected. Id guess the average age was mid-50s with many people both older and younger. It was a really good mix.
We enjoyed the Martini Bar on many evenings as we listened to music in the Grand Foyer. It can get busy right before mealtimes, so if you want a seat, get there early. The bartenders put on a great show! We loved Michaels Club and most evening would find us there listening to music. We went up to Cosmos a few times for shows and its a lovely bar, but didn't have the intimate feel some of the others do. It is a great place for scenic cruising though! We also enjoyed the Ocean Bar. Its a great spot to sit while the ship is in port, you can watch the goings on in the harbor and on the pier. Cafe Al Bacio was also a favorite spot. Order iced tea sometime, the presentation is lovely!
The few things we were not impressed with included the Improv Group. We gave them about five chances over the two weeks and they would be funny for a little bit then drift off into the odd or macabre. There was one skit they did about kidnapping and killing children. Really! One of the room stewards of the four that we had wasnt the best. The other three were very good, though. The one that wasnt great seemed to just be distant and aloof. He never did bring ice to a room that had asked him to, he often forgot to bring some of the paperwork that room needed. Fortunately, with all of us doing the same thing wed soon discover that something was missing and could rectify it. While disembarking they have you go down to either a conference room or Michaels to wait while for your number to be called. There was one couple in our color group that did not appear so we all waited and waited while they were repeatedly paged. Not a big deal, but those conference rooms get hot and stuffy with 50+ people crammed into them.
Overall, we loved this vacation, the destination, and this ship and would do it again in a heartbeat. Less

Port and Shore Excursions
Icy Straight Point Hoonah is maybe the weak point in this itinerary. There is not a pier so everyone has to tender in. Tendering went smoothly. We did the zip line the first week and had whale watching planned for Juneau so didnt want to do that here also. The second week about half of our group went bicycle riding. The rest of us stayed on the ship for a day of relaxing. There just isnt much to do here.
Juneau was a great time. We did whale watching with Harv and Marv. It was so good the first time that I did it again the second week. We were fortunate enough to see bubble net feeding both weeks. The Harv and Marv crew is outstanding and Id highly recommend them if you want to experience the whales. After whale watching we stopped at Mendenhall Glacier viewing area for about 15 minutes. The first time it was a mob scene and I wasnt looking forward to doing that again, but the second week there was almost no one there and down one of the trails there was a BEAR eating salmon! I was psyched! Whales, eagles, and bears all on the same excursion! (wed seen eagles flying around the shore during the whale watching) The Red Dog Saloon and Alaska Brewing Company store are worth visiting if youre a beer aficionado. Lots of shopping here and the Tram to the top of Mt Roberts is worth it for the close ups of the eagles that make the treetops there their home. You can also hike down from the top of Mt Roberts and there were bear sightings reported from that hike.
Ketchikan is a charming little town. Exploring on your own, flight seeing over Misty Fjord, and shopping are all worthwhile here. Creek Street is fun as is going up the Funicular and walking down Married Man Trail to the salmon ladder at the bottom. We walked to the salmon ladder twice and it's fascinating to watch. Lots of great shops here. Im not big on jewelry shopping, but our two 15 year old girls had fun going from store to store to collect the free charms. My sister and a niece did do some jewelry shopping and were happy with what they found. There are quite a few t-shirt stores and some great stores with Alaska items that you dont see most other places. Flight seeing with Island Wings was outstanding and highly recommended. You can also take the city bus to Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Native Village.
In Seward we did a half day kayaking trip with Kayak Adventures. It was a great trip! Our guides were wonderful. Most of us had never kayaked before and they had us out paddling and feeling comfortable in no time. They showed us a salmon spawning area, eagles, porpoises, and various sea life along the shore. It was a very nice, relaxing time. Id do it again in a heartbeat. If youre lucky enough to have Buddy as one of your guides, you will enjoy his gentle soul and his respect for where he lives.
Skagway is a cute little town, but its quite a hike to get in there! There are golf carts running people back and forth to the city bus. The golf carts are free; the city bus is either $2 for one trip or $5 for hop on hop off all day. We did not do the train which is probably the number one thing to do. Two of our group did a helicopter flight seeing trip, which they raved about. Most of us just wandered into town and did sightseeing and shopping. Some of us ate lunch at the Red Onion Saloon, which was reasonably priced and very tasty.

I spend half of my days feeling kind of like a hooker. There are no patent leather platforms with clear plastic bases in my closet and I'd sooner die than wear a half shirt or hot shorts. My damn chest, however, makes appropriateness rather difficult at times.
You see, my waist is a size 2 or 4, my hips are a size 4, and my chest is a 34DD. Finding a dress (or blouse, or fitted, non-stretch top of any kind) has become borderline impossible. But years of clothing obsession and severe boob-related setbacks when it comes to putting together outfits have left me with what some might call an obsessive and excessive knowledge of how to deal with super large lady lumps. Some rules, after the jump… No Tent Dresses
Tiny little waif girls with thighs the size of my arm and no boobs to speak of can pull those off. You, my big-busted friend, cannot. You will look pregnant. Very pregnant.
Embrace Knits, They Are Your Friends
You're wasting your time looking for a stretch-less dress that will hold those suckers. If the size difference between your waist/hips and chest is only a size or a couple of inches, alterations are a possibility. Beyond that, though, you'll end up spending more on easy-to-botch alterations than you did on the dress.
So instead of going down that frustrating road yet again, get a knit dress. If you're into va-va-voom sexy, something fitted throughout will get you there (but beware, you're not going to want to meet anyone's mama dressed like that). Personally, I'm a lover of the fitted-on-top, swirly-on-bottom look. Butter by Nadia makes an awesome wrap dress along those lines. (Seriously, I own it in three colors and completely vouch for it.)
Medium V-Necks Love You, Too
The low V will get you a bit too much attention and a round or crew neck will make your chest look like a shelf. But a fitted medium dip V-neck with short sleeves that hits a couple inches above your elbow will work every time. The little bit of extra sleeve length balances your top and a slight V is sexy without being trampy.
No Empire Waist Lines
As with tent dresses, you will look pregnant. Or at least not nearly as good as you could. Dresses that nip in at the waist and then flair out (A-line or circle skirts work miracles) provide a nice shape and balance.
Go With A Combo Dress
There are these magical dresses that are made from t-shirt material on top and another, more dressy, material on the bottom. Like this one.

Fab time on Liberty of the Seas: Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by Robbo66
Overall Member Rating
Fab time on Liberty of the Seas
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
We booked a balcony cabin, but we were lucky and got upgraded to a Junior Suite. Because our cabin was wheelchair accessible, it was even bigger than a regular JS, so it felt huge to us. Apart from the extra space, the other benefits were Suite check-in, bigger balcony (with 2 sun loungers and 2 chairs) and a walk-in wardrobe.
We also liked Sorrento's Pizza place on the Promenade for a quick snack (this venue is only on these larger ships). The rest of the ship felt familiar as many of the Royal Caribbean ships share features, so even though Liberty of the Seas is bigger, we didn't have much problem finding our way around.
Liberty of the Seas has also just More undergone some upgrades (adding features that are found on the 2 newest Royal Caribbean ships). This resulted in the addition of the Cupcake Cupboard shop, Saturday Night Fever show, a big screen by the main pools, a 3D cinema and touch screens for information on each deck. All the improvements were great and the show had fantastic staging and choreography.
Of the ports we visited we enjoyed Barcelona, Villefranche (where we took the train to Monaco) and Naples. We took a private tour in Naples (not a very pretty city) to visit Pompeii and drive the Amalfi Coast with stops in Positano and Ravello. This is a really beautiful part of the world and although we did a lot of driving, I would recommend getting out of Naples. Pompeii was extremely busy - but this might have been because it was a bank holiday in Italy when we visited.
Cruise pros
> Lovely ship and well maintained
> Excellent My Time Dining wait staff (David and Agong)
> In the Air, Encore (ice show), Saturday Night Fever and 3D cinema - all worth a look
> Wheelchair accessible staterooms are bigger than normal Junior Suites and we had a double-sized balcony which was great
> Late Departure Program was well worth the extra money for a relaxing morning on board and a final lunch in the Windjammer
Cruise cons
> Our bathroom was wheelchair accessible, so it didn't have a shower cubicle or bath, it had a shower area with curtains. No problem in that, but the water never drained properly and always ended up in a pool in the centre of the bathroom which needed mopping up.
> The cruise line charged too much for its transfers from the port (e.g. Toulon). You can walk into a nearby town with a fantastic local Sunday fresh produce market in 20 minutes or take the tourist train for EUR3.50 unless you really want to pay to go into Toulon, but a taxi would be cheaper. Less

Cabin review: JS1628 Junior Suite
This is a wheelchair accessible stateroom so differs from regular Junior Suites providing more space than normal. Great balcony (double the regular D1 category) with 2 sun loungers and 2 chairs plus a small table, quiet location (except when kids run down the hall) with easy access to the lifts and stairs but no noise coming from them. Some noise from connecting stateroom. Easy access to Windjammer which is on the next deck up, but no noise coming from deck 11.Read All Junior Suite (JS) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
We went to look around the Duomo but the queue to climb the almost 500 steps to the top was too long so we went to the Boboli gardens for a fantastic view of the city.
We tried to save money by doing the audio tour in Pompeii but it isn't easy to navigate the site and they had run out of maps. We saw lots of interesting things but we had trouble finding the plaster casts of victims which we would have been disappointed to miss.
