Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Decision making · Learning · Judgement · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Reasoning · Thinking - Cognitive processes Cognition - Outline Index
Verbal reasoning is understanding and reasoning using concepts framed in words. It aims at evaluating ability to think constructively, rather than at simple fluency or vocabulary recognition.
Verbal reasoning intelligence testsEdit
Verbal reasoning tests of intelligence provide an assessment of an individual's ability to think, reason and solve problems in different ways.
Verbal reasoning tests are often used as entrance examinations by schools, colleges and universities to select the most able applicants. They are also used by a growing number of employers as part of the selection/recruitment process.
Criticism of verbal reasoning testsEdit
Some have criticised verbal reasoning tests due to their lack of precision - many questions arguably having more than one answer. For example, a question which asks:
"When will Joe Bloggs retire?"
may expect the testee to respond with the answer "Joe Bloggs will retire at 65" based on the following two sentences (taken from a preceding paragraph - the format of most verbal reasoning tests):
"Joe Bloggs currently works as a civil servant" and "Those in the civil service generally retire at 65"
However, though the two sentences make it probable that Joe Bloggs will retire at 65, it is still a logical possibility that he will continue to work beyond this point, or that he will retire early and live off savings. Additionally, a number of questions ask testees to decide what the central focus of the preceding paragraph is, however the options provided often afford more than one arguable response. As such, critics suggest that standard IQ tests; or numerical reasoning tests, are preferable due to their precision .

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Here is what else her foster family had to say:
Patty loves all her furry friends. She gets along great with my three dogs, two Newfoundlands and a Pomeranian. Also, I am an assistant dog groomer and she comes to work with me every day and makes friends with all the dogs there for grooming. She does love cats but sometimes shows them a little too much affection but the cats will tell her when they have had enough. She is generally a very confident little girl, only briefly barking at things she is uncertain of until she becomes more comfortable.
Patty has excellent house manners, not chewing anything other than her toys and she is respectful of toys. When it's time for bed she lifts up the blankets so she can crawl underneath to get comfy and settle in for the night. Other than a little bit of whimpering when first put into her crate or when closed in the bedroom, she does very well when left alone. She doesn't chew anything she is not supposed to and when I return I usually find her curled up on something soft. She is now house trained.
She does not chew anything other than her toys and although counter surfing and stealing food is impossible due to her size, she doesn't seem interested. Patty knows how to sit and come. She also understands the stay command in situations like when you're trying to squeeze through a door without her coming out as well but she doesn't sit and stay per say. Patty doesn't mind her crate if she has to be crated but she would much rather sleep on the bed with me during the night or just be left the run of the bedroom when I am out. This is not a problem as I do not feel that she needs to be crated. Although Patty has mighty shoulders, she walks well on a leash and benefits from walking with her harness. Patty absolutely loves to romp around the yard and is not interested in trying to escape whatsoever. Patty loves to ride in the car. She jumps right in, sleeps either on my lap or on the passenger seat and likes looking out the window.
Patty was pampered at the spa shortly after coming from the transport so she is looking very beautiful with an extremely shiny coat. I would describe her shedding as low. Her recent spay scar is also healing very well. Patty's tail was broken once upon a time and has healed into a perfect right angle – I think it must have been closed in a door. Other than looking a little odd it doesn't bother her at all.
Patty will thrive in any home or family situation. She would without question love a large open space to run and play as well as a bed where she is invited to sleep underneath the covers up against her human companion. Whoever adopts Patty will be adopting a forever loyal furry, best friend.
If you think Patty would be a good choice for your situation, please submit an application for consideration.
Patty, a Hamilton Rat Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier for sale in Hamilton, or seeking a Rat Terrier dog from a breeder in Hamilton.

1960's Flashback!
An interesting article about the discovery of a 1960's bomb shelter that was opened for the first time since it was stocked over 40 years ago.
That is cool! Too bad it flooded, but wouldn't it be neat to have?
One of my neighbors has a fallout bunker, but it is an above-ground cinder-block structure. I knew the guy who built it, he did a piss poor job of it. The current homeowner uses it as a pump room for their pool equipment and that is probably all it is good for. A good backfire from a car might blow it down!
Yea its amazing! The photos are something else.
Too bad about that shelter. I always told myself that if I ever had the money, a ahipping container burried in the ground a few feet would be my treat to myself!
I would also prefer to build mine back into a hillside with ground-level access given a choice.
Here is my dream- they built this a few years ago up the road from me.
Thats pretty cool!
Hell, if I had the cash, my hone would be an underground shelter! 3 sides under, the 4th would have steel doors hidden in the face.

Fired TV web producer charged in abetting hackers group
SAN FRANCISCO — A social media editor for Reuters news service was charged on Thursday with conspiring with the group "Anonymous" to hack into Tribune Co.'s computer system shortly after he was fired from one of the company's TV stations.
Matthew Keys is charged with supplying hackers in December 2010 with the login credentials to the computer network of Tribune Co., which owns the Los Angeles Times, said the FBI.
Keys had been fired from a Tribune-owned television station in Sacramento two months earlier during the company's bankruptcy. He was not working for Reuters when he allegedly conspired with "Anonymous."
According to the federal grand jury indictment handed down in Sacramento, a hacker altered a Times news story posted Dec. 14 and Dec. 15, 2010, to read: "Pressure builds in House to elect CHIPPY 1337," a reference to another hacking group.
The indictment alleges that Keys, 26, and another hacker failed in another attempt to access the Tribune's computer system after the hacking of the Times. Keys acquired the login information while serving as the web producer for the Sacramento-based FOX station KTXL, which is owned by Tribune Co.
A Tribune spokesman declined comment.
From June 2008 to April 2010, Keys' Facebook page said he worked as an online news producer for the Sacramento station.
Investigators say Keys turned over the information in an online chat room frequented by hackers and members of Anonymous. Department of Justice prosecutors in court papers allege that a legendary hacker and Anonymous leader named "Sabu," who later turned into an FBI informant, "offered advice on how to conduct the network intrusion."

The first Grand Slam tournament of the tennis season is upon us already. The Australian Open is wide open on the women's side with the absence of last year's two finalists, Justine Henin-Hardenne and Kim Clijsters, in addition to Jennifer Capriati. The men's draw has a simple question: Can anybody beat Roger Federer?
The first round has a number of intriguing matchups. Federer did not get the easiest opening-round opponent in Fabrice Santoro, and he easily moved ahead.
Here's a look at some of the best matches to watch in the opening round:
Lleyton Hewitt (3), Australia, vs. Arnaud Clement, France
Clement is down to 106 in the rankings, and is 1-4 in his last five Grand Slam matches. Still, Hewitt has had several competitive matches in going 5-0 lifetime vs. the Frenchman. They went three sets in Auckland recently. Can Clement turn back the clock and make this a test?
Guillermo Coria (6), Argentina, vs. Tomas Berdych, Czech Republic
The Czech Republic up-and-comer made the round of 16 in the U. S. Open and could provide a challenge here. Coria was upset in Auckland.
Sebastien Grosjean (14), France, vs. Michael Llodra, France
This battle of Frenchmen is interesting. Llodra is an excellent doubles player who can hold his own in singles. He also won their lone prior singles showdown, back in Los Angeles in 2002.
Tommy Haas (16), Germany vs. Xavier Malisse, Belgium
Malisse beat Haas at Wimbledon last year, though the German won three of their four showdowns last season. Malisse is now down to 47 in the world rankings, but he figures to keep this competitive.
Vince Spadea (19), United States, vs. Radek Stepanek, Czech Republic
Stepanek is ranked 34th in the world (just a few spots away from being ranked). He won his first-round match at the Australian Open the past two years. These two split two meetings last year; Spadea prevailed 7-6 in the final set of the match he won.
Juan Ignacio Chela (25), Argentina, vs. Wayne Arthurs, Australia
You know the crowd will be behind the hard-serving Aussie.
Jonas Bjorkman, Sweden, vs. Greg Rusedski, Great Britain
Two veterans go at it, probably for the right to meet Andy Roddick in round two.
Lindsay Davenport (1), United States, vs. Conchita Martinez, Spain
Last year, Martinez was seeded 13th in this event and lost in the first round. This year, she comes in ranked 43 in the world. At age 32, her better days are past her. She has made the round of 16 or better eight times at this event, but she lost in the opening round each of the past two years. Is Davenport 100 percent? We'll find out. She could have had an easier draw as Martinez will fight hard.
Venus Williams (8), United States, vs. Eleni Daniilidou, Greece
Venus would have preferred an easier foe. Her Greek opponent is ranked 42 in the world and has made the third round or better three straight years at the Aussie Open. Daniilidou was seeded 19th here a year ago and has dropped a bit. Still, this is not a layup.
Alicia Molik (10), Australia, vs. Anabel Medina Garrigues, Spain
There is some pressure with higher expectations for Molik. Medina Garrigues is ranked 38th in the world, made the third round last year (she lost to Mauresmo).
Francesca Schiavone (14), Italy, vs. Marta Marrero, Spain
Marrero is ranked 48th in the world and could provide a scare.
Amy Frazier (21), United States, vs. Marissa Irvin, United States
This is the third straight Grand Slam tournament where Irvin has drawn a seed in the opening round (No. 2 Mauresmo at U.S. Open; No. 32 Shaughnessy at Wimbledon).
Jelena Jankovic (23), Serbia and Montenegro, vs. Nicole Pratt, Australia
The Australian is an underdog at age 31, ranked 53rd in the world. She has made the third round or better here three straight years, losing in the third set to Vera Zvonareva in her match last year.
Gisela Dulko (29), Argentina, vs. Kristina Brandi, Puerto Rico
Brandi is 51st in the world and she lost in three sets to Amy Frazier last year. Dulko is happy she doesn't see Martina Navratilova on the draw sheet after facing the legend at the French and Wimbledon last year.
Marion Bartoli, France, vs. Claudine Schaul, Luxembourg
Strange choice, but we will see. Bartoli is ranked 40th, Schaul 61st. Schaul lost to Molik in three sets last year.
Howie Schwab is a coordinating producer for ESPN.

Brandi Glanville Apologizes For Her Real Housewives Fight… While Still Driving A Wedge Between Kim & Kyle Richards
In a very uncharacteristic move, Brandi Glanville actually apologized to Kim Richards for getting into a fight with Kyle on Monday's episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!
However, she did so by highlighting Kyle's ill-treatment of Kim, so we guess Brandi didn't have a complete change of heart.
In the bonus scene that didn't make it to air, Brandi tells Kim that she will protect her, to which the elder-Richards sister responds that she wishes Kyle would do the same.
[ Video: Lisa Vanderpump Spills On The Kyle & Brandi Fight! ]
We're a little torn on this whole fight. Brandi seems to genuinely want to help Kim, but it's hard to gauge the situation when Bravo is being so vague with all the details about what's actually going on!
Ch-ch-check out the sneak peek (below) & let us know in the comments who U think really has Kim's back!!!Apologizes, between, Brandi, Driving, Fight…, Glanville, Housewives, Kyle, Real, Richards, still, wedge

Police are hunting a group of teenagers who allegedly used counterfeit $50 notes in shops at Civic and Dickson on Tuesday.
The fake bank notes were first used at a convenience store in Civic about 6.20pm, police say.
The four teenage boys, aged between 16 and 18, walked into the store and asked for a $50 note to be swapped for change.
The owner didn't notice the counterfeit note at first, and handed over the money.
He quickly realised and challenged the teenagers, who police say fled from the store.
A short time later, three of the teenagers walked into a Dickson supermarket, and again tried to use a counterfeit note.
The supermarket owner realised the bank note as a fake, and refused to accept it.
ACT Policing say counterfeit money is not common in the territory, but are urging Canberrans to be wary of dodgy bank notes.
North District Superintendent Brett Kidner urged shop owners to check money carefully, looking on notes for markings that prove their legitimacy.
"At the end of the day, if you're not satisfied that the note is legitimate then don't accept it," Superintendent Kidner said.
"When a $50 note is held to light, a seven-pointed star within a circle is formed by four points on one side of the banknote, combining perfectly with three points on the other side."
Police are still looking for the teenagers, and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
The three teenagers who entered the Dickson supermarket were all between 16 and 18, and were described by police as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander in appearance.
One was wearing a white hooded jumper, dark-coloured tracksuit pants, with a black backpack.
Another wore a dark grey T-shirt with a motif on the front, and blue coloured pants.
The third teenager wore a white T-shirt with a black motif on the front, blue pants, and a black backpack.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or at the website.

The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course, one of the busiest public golf courses in the world, becomes first GEO Certified™ facility in Asia-Pacific.
The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course (Kau Sai Chau), Hong Kong, has become the first golf facility in Asia-Pacific to achieve the coveted GEO Certified™ award – an internationally recognised sustainability assurance from the Golf Environment Organization.
The award, which recognizes Kau Sai Chau as one of the most sustainably managed golf clubs in the world, is a significant landmark in the transformation of the island landscape, a former military firing range that was shelled repeatedly between 1930 and 1975.
Opened in 1995 and now featuring three of the busiest public golf courses in the world, it has become a shining light of environmental innovation featuring solar-hybrid ferries for transporting golfers to and from the island, and the world's first fleet of solar powered electric golf carts – both projects being part of a US$45 million environmental project initiated by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, in response to the pressing issues of global warming and climate change. These environmental initiatives have resulted in a restored landscape and thriving ecology at Kau Sai Chau which offers 54 holes of world-class golf, including the North and South Courses, designed by nine-time Major Champion Gary Player, and East Course, designed by golf course architects Nelson & Haworth.
Mike Carey, Head of Golf Operations at Kau Sai Chau, explained: "As a community project between the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Hong Kong Government, the mission of Kau Sai Chau is to promote golf to the people of Hong Kong at affordable levels. In addition to this Kau Sai Chau has been restored into a healthy living landscape with diverse habitats through environmentally sensitive golf development.
"In addition to the practical challenges of developing island golf – rainwater capture, storage and reuse being the most significant – the vision for Kau Sai Chau was to provide the golfing public of Hong Kong with a world-class facility managed to the highest agronomic and environmental standards.
"The GEO Certified™ award recognizes the success of our efforts and, hopefully, is an inspiration for others, as the need for sustainable golf leadership in the booming Asian golf economy is more important now than ever."
The GEO Certified™ award is the most accessible, credible and comprehensive sustainability certification in golf, benefiting the environment, communities and golf businesses. The award is earned after a golf facility works through the GEO OnCourse™ programme of practical step-by-step, on-line guidance, making improvements appropriate for their site and facility. At the end of the process, an independent, GEO-accredited Sustainable Golf Expert visits and verifies each golf course, and creates a three-year Continual Improvement Plan with targets to be achieved before re-certification three years later.
Ross Perrett, part of GEO's global network of third party verifiers, undertook the on-site evaluation at Kau Sai Chau. (A full on-site evaluation report can be found here) He summarized his impressions by saying:
"With the vision and commitment of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it's been possible to restore biodiverse habitats to Kau Sai Chau and a number of rare, protected and notable species are now thriving in the healthy environment.
Benjamin Warren, GEO Communications Director, said:
"It's clear the Kau Sai Chau team is dedicated to the continued realization of the Hong Kong Jockey Club's vision for sustainable golf. In 15 years, the surface of the island has been transformed into a living landscape that now hosts a huge diversity of indigenous plant and animal life, including many rare and endangered species, with hundreds of thousands of people experiencing this richness."

The Fixer
9pm, ITV1
Peter Mullan graces this series with a little more substance than it perhaps deserves as Lenny, heading up a covert organisation that specialises in tracking down renegades within the security services whom the authorities would rather not finger themselves. This week, it's an ex-SAS man who deserted and became involved in the drug trade while out in Afghanistan and is now deemed responsible for the deaths of British soldiers. However, the web of corruption turns out to amount to more than a lone rogue.
Jamie's American Road Trip
9pm, Channel 4
So far, this series has seen the British chef journey to America in search of new taste sensations, and new people to be slightly over-familiar with. Tonight, Jamie pitches up in NYC, a place where – it soon becomes evident – he is almost as well known as he is here. Still, alongside the obligatory moments of cringing, the show has a lot of good stuff: dining at an illegal Peruvian restaurant, and a meeting with witty Egyptian chef Ali, who serves food superior to Jamie's preferred Italian offerings. "Please!" he says. "Egypt had a civilisation when the Romans were running round without underwear."
Later Live – With Jools Holland
10pm, BBC2
With pop programmes of note long gone from the corporation, Later (once a slightly worthy concern) arrives for its 17th series as the flagship show for music on the BBC. As ever, the Friday edition broadcasts in the "post- pub" slot at 11.35pm. This, though is the newer, live, taster edition of the show. Tonight, hysteria and conspiracy theories are served up by Muse, Gossip play and Jimmy Cobb, the only surviving member of Miles Davis's Kind of Blue band, celebrates the 50th anniversary of that album.
True Stories: Cat Dancers
10pm, More4
The dancers are Ron and Joy Holiday, who became famous hoofers in the 1950s and 1960s, then trained and performed with big cats. New interviews with Ron interspersed with archive footage tell their story, which is diverting in itself. However, if you've no knowledge of the tragedy that made the Holidays a media sensation in 1998, there's little but Holiday's astonishing wig to rivet the attention in the first hour. It's worth persisting with, though, as it adroitly negotiates the line between prurience and compassion.

One of the most exciting shows of the year is ready to burst on the scene! It's time for Pop Show 32: I Want It All! The Burroughs Vocal Music Association continues their amazing tradition of singing and dancing — with dazzling costumes and eye catching sets — for their 32nd year in a row!
Last spring, the advanced choir, Powerhouse, was invited to represent the show choir community on the Oprah Winfrey Show for a special Glee episode. They also just returned from performing in the Chinese New Year's Day Parade in Hong Kong. While Pop Show was born 32 years ago based on the show choir genre of music, it was the breakout series Glee that set the show choir world afire and fuels the spirit of this entertaining show. That spirit is evident in every song and show choir set that the over 200 members of the VMA will present. Being the "real thing" and not a fictional television show, Pop Show 32, along with showcasing amazing talent, helps to raise the funds which enable this program to excel. Your attendance and support helps this outstanding arts program to continue.
Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 24, 25 and 26 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, February 27, at 2 p.m. in the Burroughs Auditorium, located at 1920 W. Clark Ave. in Burbank. General admission is $16; $11 for students and seniors. Reserved seats are $25. For tickets, please visit www.jbhsvma.com or order online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/145822

About the Book
As a profession, I am a civil engineer and land surveyor and have been in the business for 38 years. I am one of those unique souls that have both sides of the brain going. Over these past 35 years I have always had a passion for what I call the heritage arts. The heritage arts are the skills that helped build America prior to the industrialization of our durable goods. The heritage arts include woodworking, blacksmithing, leatherwork, pottery, and other skills of that are now considered crafts and had seen a decline in their practice.
I have accumulated many tools over the past 35 years and with my knowledge of construction in mixed media I have decided to embark on a journey to pursue my love for the arts and crafts. This is my studio.

The School Day
The day begins with the Main Lesson – a two-period, wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary inquiry into all elements of a major subject area. Main lesson topics are approached from diverse directions in multiple modes of study for up to four weeks. The middle part of the school day includes classes in English, History, Math and Allied Sciences, Foreign Languages, and Electives, which meet four or five times a week throughout the year. At the end of the day, a double period is scheduled for the arts, which are taught in blocks of three to six weeks and meet three times a week. Physical Education and Music ensembles meet once a week for a double period.
The masterworks of prose and poetry are studied in several literature main lessons each year. Through literature, students examine the questions and themes of human experience. This develops critical thinking, and helps students find direction in their search for self and for the meaning of life. Students in every grade also receive English instruction in year-long courses. In contrast to the month-long main lessons or seminars, the year-long English curriculum is designed in a four-year sequence of classes. English classes meet daily throughout the year and build skills in grammar, vocabulary, writing, reading, critical analysis, and research.
The history and social studies curriculum explores both United States and world history and attempts, whenever possible, to place American history in a global perspective. Students explore history and social studies through a variety of media including textbooks and other reference texts, primary documents, in-depth narratives, monographs, newspapers and periodicals, and documentary film.
History main lessons offer in-depth study ranging from ancient times to the present. Students begin 9th grade with a two-part main lesson on Atlantic World History, reflect on World Civilizations in grades 10 and 11, and conclude with a main lesson on Contemporary History in grade 12. This sequence helps students recognize the features, achievements, crises, and turning points in the history of great world civilizations.
In addition to main lessons, students receive instruction in history and the social sciences though year-long classes. Students are required to complete a minimum of two year-long courses for graduation, and they may choose to take up to four years of history by supplementing required courses with year-long electives.
Mathematics and Allied Sciences
All courses in mathematics and science both demand and encourage systematic thinking, methodical inquiry, and formal understanding of objects. Courses use numbers to generalize about the world, and then model relations and structures as broadly as possible in the style of theorems, rules, and laws. Over the four years of high school, students participate in more than twenty main lesson seminars in mathematics and natural science. There are also six weeks per year of coursework in the laboratory. During these sessions, students prepare for scientific inquiry in the main lessons through hands-on experience with physical substances and extended observations of phenomena.
Students in grades nine through eleven take yearlong courses in essential mathematics with additional laboratory science. These classes meet daily and emphasize steady extension of fundamental skills and gradual development of good reasoning habits through orderly practice with quantitative forms. This work includes symbolic derivation of conclusions that typify mathematical activity, as well as practice in measurement, estimation, and the handling of precision instruments. These are courses in mathematics and allied sciences – titled "math/science" to reflect their integrated approach to a fundamentally unified subject. In each grade, the class is divided into two sections by skill level, each with a different teacher. The two sections typically meet separately; for some activities and investigations, classes meet as a whole.
The approach to science in the high school is broad, deep, and enthusiastically brought to the students. As in the middle-grades, the intention of all of our science courses is to be phenomena-based. The teachers strive to expose the students to experiences that allow them to develop their understanding of phenomena and only afterward to attach concepts and vocabulary to this understanding. Throughout the four years of main lessons, a wide range of topics related to physics, chemistry, and biology are studied, and each topic is addressed with a particular expertise and a hope of developing expertise in our students. All students participate in at least one main lesson each of physics, chemistry, and biology in each of their four years of high school.
Moving from ninth grade through the years to twelfth grade, the science curriculum moves from more concrete ideas into the world of abstract thought. Ninth grade science main lessons examine the chemistry of life and hydrocarbons, the physiology of their own bodies, and the qualities of mechanics and substances that can be actively worked with in the classroom. By twelfth grade the students are learning about evolution, light, and radioactivity–subjects that require more flexible thinking and comfort with abstract connections.
Foreign Languages
In the high school, we offer French, Spanish and German, Levels I to IV. Three years of language are required to graduate. If a student chooses to continue a language they have studied earlier in their education, they will take a placement test to determine which level they will enter. Some students may also decide to take a second language as one of their Electives. In tenth grade we offer a Foreign Exchange Program, where students study at a Waldorf school abroad. By graduation, students are fluent enough in reading, writing, and speaking to make their way in countries where those tongues are native.
Fine Arts and Practical Arts
The arts are a key element in any Waldorf curriculum. Over four years of high school, our students study Black-and-White Drawing with charcoal and pastel chalk, Watercolors and Mixed Media and, as seniors, Oil Painting. We offer classes in Sculpture, and students work with both clay and stone. Freshmen and sophomores can choose an elective in Graphic Art and Illustration; sophomores and juniors can participate in a Digital Photography elective. Additional afternoon crafts classes include Basketry, Weaving, and Bookbinding. Often complementing the main lesson subjects, this wide variety of arts classes offers new understanding of form and function, explores permutations and possibilities, and teaches skill and precision.
Movement: Eurythmy
Eurythmy is a series of expressive movement exercises unique to Waldorf education. In Eurythmy classes, students learn how to bring music and poetry into physical expression, thereby gaining a better understanding of these arts. Eurythmy also teaches dexterity, grace, poise, balance, and concentration.
Music is vital to the school's educational experience and is an essential element of the Waldorf High School Curriculum. Every student in our high school participates in both an instrumental and a vocal ensemble. Students with prior study in brass, woodwind, string or percussion instruments may join the Jazz Band, Orchestra or both. Students with no prior instrumental experience may choose either African Drumming, Brazilian Drumming or Guitar classes. Students who wish to take up a private instrument and join the Jazz Band or the Orchestra are encouraged to do so. Every student in grades 9 through 12 sings in our High School Chorus, which meets twice a week and performs at assemblies and concerts throughout the year. Students in Chorus sing a wide variety of repertoire from diverse cultures and languages. Those students who wish to further their choral experience are encouraged to join The MetroGnomes, an extra-curricular a Cappella ensemble. In addition to the performing arts, students in Grade 11 study History Through Music in a main lesson seminar. Eleventh and twelfth grade students may also choose a music elective such as Music Theory and Composition.
Drama figures prominently in the arts and literature curriculums. In our drama program, we introduce basic acting, the history of drama and plays from the great classical and modern playwrights, including Sophocles, Shakespeare and Anton Chekhov. Each senior presents a major play before graduation. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in the extra-curricular High School Drama Club, which presents two fully mounted theatrical productions per year.
Class Trips
The school believes class trips are important experiences for the students. While the destinations and the regularity may vary, students usually take one trip per year. The trips are organized in relationship to the content of the curriculum in 9th, 10th and 11th grades. For example, the 10th grade has a farm experience as part of their Ecology block, and the 11th grade works with villagers at a community for developmentally challenged adults during one of their literature main lessons. The trip at the end of senior year includes a community service component.

The latest reviews from Kevin Bryan.
Simple Minds, "Celebrate-The Greatest Hits + "(Virgin Records)- Simple Minds began life in the late seventies as prime purveyors of an enjoyably derivative sound influenced by Krautrock,the Velvet Underground and David Bowie, but the lucrative lure of stadium-rock seemed impossible to resist as the years wore on,and their popularity blossomed in the mid eighties just as their music lost much of its early allure.This wide-ranging 3 CD set does find space for some interesting offerings from their early days such as "Changeling" and "I Travel" ,although the proceedings are understandably dominated by perennial crowd-pleasers such as "Waterfront," "Promised You A Miracle" and "Don't You (Forget About Me)."
Steven Wilson,"The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)." (Kscope 242)- Porcupine Tree founder member and frontman Wilson has enlisted the services of famed producer Alan Parsons to engineer his third solo set ,a mildly melancholy offering which harks back to the golden era of the concept album in the early seventies. The CD's six epic tracks are loosely based on tales of the supernatural, embellished with the soaring guitar solos and unashamedly elaborate arrangements which have become such a feature of classic prog rock over the years. "Drive Home," "Luminol" and the eerie title track are the best of an impressive bunch.
The Stranglers, "On Stage On Screen" (Wienerworld WNRD2544)- The veteran punk stalwarts were in particularly fine fettle when they recorded this energised live DVD at The Shepherd's Bush Empire in December 2005,regaling their highly receptive London audience with a potent blend of old and new crowd-pleasers. "No More Heroes," "Duchess" and "Peaches" are all given an airing alongside the band's distinctive revamps of "Walk On By" and "All Day And All of the Night," and the inclusion of a 29 minute acoustic set and Jean Jacques Burnel's award winning short film,"Norfolk Coast" sets the seal on an excellent package.
Colin Blunstone,"I Don't Believe in Miracles" (Talking Elephant TECD 205)- This subtly memorable collection first saw the light of day in 1979, bringing together the best of Blunstone's solo output during the past decade. Colin's unmistakeable breathy tones were ornamented by the intricate sound of a string quartet on fine covers of Denny Laine's "Say You Don't Mind" and Tim Hardin's "Misty Roses," and the former Zombies frontman also enjoyed a brief run of chart success during the early seventies with exquisitely crafted hits such as "How Could We Dare To Be Wrong" the Russ Ballard penned title tune.
The Deviants,"Ptooff ! "(Angel Air SJPCD414)- Mick Farren and his motley band of malcontents recorded this determinedly underground fusion of psychedelia and garage band rock for just £700 in 1967,and although sales were fairly minimal at the time the original vinyl version of "Ptooff !" has since gone on to become a highly sought after collector's item ,fetching eye-watering prices at internet auction sites around the world. This fascinating period piece is now available as a newly remastered Angel Air CD, complete with original sleeve notes by the late great John Peel,who was apparently mightily impressed by Farren's mildly deranged musical outpourings at the time.

* I'm passionately in love with music! Everything I do, I do better with music in the background!
* I'm an early riser. Sleeping in is a waste of time.
* I tend to smile even when I feel like crap.
* I have an undying love for Crossfit. I feel endorphine release is the secret to happiness.
* I have a huge heart and always try to care, sometimes too much.
* If I'm being too quiet it means either stress has gotten to me and I need a breather, or I have decided you suck and I would rather throw myself off a cliff than talk to you any longer.
* I am so competitive and overachieve on most everything I do, to the point that I annoy my teammate or friend. I seem to believe I'm always in a competition, you just don't always know it ;-)
* I'm blunt to a fault. I call it like I see it, even of you don't like what I see.
* I hate cold weather; it causes me to cover up.
* I would rather know that I tried than not trying at all.
Conclusion: I think I was put on this earth to stand out and be different, regardless of what people think. I dare you to be different, learn to LIVE, step outside of the black and white box and experience some color. Life is beautiful, you just have to remember to open your eyes.

Bryan Frates, 28, now lives in Cottonwood Heights area, but spent his youth throughout New England building his singer-songwriter chops.He was born in Vermont, and then went to New Hampshire prep school Kimball Academy, where he began playing the guitar and writing lyrics.After inheriting a love for music from his family members, and diving into the catalogues of James Taylor and Marvin Gaye, Frates began singing in a high school band called Nexus. Next, we was off to Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, and played solo shows around campus and joined a hip-hop group called High Flow, singing hooks and verses for the Boston-based group. Solo again as he resides in the Beehive, Frates' unique style stems from his love for folk, country, R&B, hip-hop, pop, and jazz music, and his influences include Amos Lee and Brandi Carlile.He answered questions posed by The Tribune about his inspirations, living in Utah, and his idea of a perfect day.What inspires you?As many might be able to tell from listening, I am very inspired by my family and friends. They are what drive me to be the best I can. I also become extremely inspired after attending a great live show. After watching somebody like Martin Sexton or a band like the Zac Brown Band, I am always inspired to write new songs. When did you first start making music?I first started writing music when I was a junior in High School. I was asked to sing a song called "Plush" by the Stone Temple Pilots at a school concert and I said "Yes," figuring I would wiggle my way out of it before the day of the concert. I was not able to do that, [but] we got an amazing reaction from the crowd. That was the first time I knew that music was what I wanted to pursue. Soon after, that the guys in the group asked me if I wanted to be the lead singer in their band, and we started writing songs for our first-ever album.Why do you continue making music?I continue to make music for a few different reasons. First, I love making people smile and have a good time. If people are enjoying themselves during one of my shows it is the best feeling in the world. Secondly, it is a great way to express yourself and to put this crazy world aside for a second and let everything out. Anytime I have a bad day, I just grab my guitar and belt out some of my favorite songs and everything seems better. Finally, I believe I was given a gift that not too many people were given. My voice is what drives my music and I want to utilize this gift and not let any opportunity pass me by.How is it as musician trying to attract attention and buzz in Utah?It is a hard business to break into. Utah has a great music scene but it is much smaller than some of the big cities around the U.S. I have found that there are some great organizations that help artists get their music out there ... I will be teaming up with Steve Phillips at Full Fidelity Studios on a project to create a Salt Lake City musicians network for singer-songwriters around the area. I am really excited about this project and I believe it will be very helpful to musicians like myself.Do you have a day job?I work at the Utah Lacrosse Association in Sandy. We are the local chapter of U.S. Lacrosse, the governing body of lacrosse in the U.S. We oversee all of lacrosse in Utah and make sure that it is growing in a healthy and safe way. I am the boys program coordinator, so I oversee all of the youth, high school and men players. Lacrosse is a great game and if you are reading this and you have never heard of it, do some research you will get hooked.Where do you see yourself in five and 15 years?In five years, I would love to be touring around the world and extensively in the U.S. I would love to be driving from city to city in a tour bus with a killer band backing me up, making people dance and smile. In 15 years I hope my touring career was successful enough to help mentor young artists that are chasing the same dream that I am chasing today. It is hard to find a good mentor and I feel like a good mentor in this business is critical to one's success in music and entertainment. Talk about your first album. What were your goals for it?My first album, "From the Ground Up" was released on September 22. I have been wanting to release my own album for probably 8-10 years now and I finally got that chance. I love driving from place to place listening to Amos Lee, James Taylor, James Morrison and singing along. I wanted my album to be a CD that people could listen to again and again because they love belting out the melodies. I have a very wide range of music influences including country, hip hop and folk music and I think this album has all of that intertwined into my own original creation. Steve Phillips at Fidelity records is a genius producer and has helped me create a sound that I am very proud of. The album has me on rhythm guitar and vocals and many of the songs have been mixed and mastered with electric guitar, bass, drums and keys to make a huge-sounding masterpiece. Describe a perfect day.The perfect day for me would be getting together with my entire family and all of my best friends on a sunny summer day and putting on a live performance, followed by a performance from Jason Mraz, Amos Lee, Martin Sexton, James Taylor, Eric Hutchinson and Zac Brown. In my head, the night would finish up with me sitting in and jamming with all of the musicians above. Man, what a dream.Why do we sing "Rock a bye baby" to lull a baby to sleep when the song is about putting your baby in a tree and letting the wind crash the cradle onto the ground?I believe the rhythm of the song and the melody words excluded are at a tempo that makes babies sleepy. It is basically a metronome for mothers around the world to sway their babies to sleep.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/11/2012 (1737 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BIG RELEASE: Rise of the Guardians (Nov. 21)
BIG PICTURE: It's enough to make a Hallmark executive's head explode: The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy together at last! Add the Sandman and Jack Frost into the mix and you have the Guardians, a superhero team made up of childhood legends. In this animated extravaganza, these five ancient powers must unite to save the world's children from a great evil. Rise of the Guardians is just like The Avengers, only minus the irony, The Hulk and Robert Downey's Jr's irresistible showboating for the camera.
FORECAST: The only thing missing from this movie is an Avengers crossover: Who hasn't always wanted to see The Hulk fight the Easter Bunny? But this movie won me over when I found out that Alec Baldwin voices the sword-wielding Old Saint Nick (he goes by North in the movie). Baldwin as Santa? I always had my suspicions. I guess I'll be leaving Scotch and a cigar under my chimney this year.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Life of Pi (Nov. 21). This movie is about a boy shipwrecked on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger. When I first heard the premise, I thought we were finally getting the untold Charlie Sheen origin story. The tiger blood? The assassin skills? All explained by Charlie's four-legged mentor from childhood! The truth is this Ang Lee film is based on the award-winning novel by Canada's Yann Martel. It's the touching story of the son of a zookeeper stranded in the open sea and fighting for survival alongside a highly unlikely companion.
BIG EVENT: BAD 25 (Nov. 22, CTV Two, 8:30 p.m.
BIG PICTURE: Spike Lee pays tribute to Michael Jackson's iconic album on its 25th anniversary. And he doesn't do it alone. The director interviews Jackson's collaborators like Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder, as well as modern superstars who were inspired by Jackson such as Kanye West, Justin Bieber and Cee Lo Green. Confession: Jackson's Bad album inspired me to wear a black leather jacket with silver buckles as my "go to" date jacket during high school. It was sadly ineffective at convincing any girl I was "bad." Michael could pull it off, but he should have warned the rest of us.
FORECAST: BAD 25 premiered at TIFF but this is the doc's Canadian television premiere. With archival footage from studio sessions and video music shoots, the film offers a unique glimpse into the makings of one of the most treasured pop albums of all-time. (I'm still waiting for Justin Bieber to emulate MJ and come out with his "Rad" album.)
HONOURABLE MENTION: Mankind: The Story of All of Us (Nov. 19, History, 8 p.m. This 12-part series tells the history of the human race -- the epic tale of how we went from primitive hunter-gatherers to sophisticated hunter-gatherers of homemade animal videos and sex tapes on the Internet. Mankind will cover our species major milestones, including the fall of Rome, the discovery of the New World, the Industrial Revolution... and, presumably, the discovery of Channing Tatum's abs.
BIG RELEASE ON NOV. 20: Rihanna (Unapologetic)
BIG PICTURE: This album is meant to be deeply personal and, well... unapologetic. Rihanna's controversial ballad with Chris Brown, Nobodies Business, certainly hits that point home. The cover art also sums it up nicely. Rihanna's naked body is strategically covered with words, including "love, happy, fearless, chalice, victory, fun, censored, diamonds, #navy" and, of course, "unapologetic." I have no doubt that Madonna's next album will offer a copycat cover with words like "desperate, relevant, still sexy, please pay attention to me" and "hey, does anyone own a time machine?" scrawled across Madge's body.
FORECAST: Rihanna's seventh studio album will feature a steady mix of "dear diary" confessional ballads and body-moving club tracks. Rihanna fans will embrace it and it will displace Taylor Swift in the charts. But those turned off by the artist's forgiveness of Brown's violent behaviour may be unapologetic in their choice to tune it out.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Kid Rock (Rebel Soul); Kelly Clarkson (Greatest Hits -- Chapter One). A couple of questions to ponder: Why do "rebel souls" often have such terrible hair? Secondly, does a 30-year-old with five albums under her belt really need a Greatest Hits album?

Eucerin Intensive Repair Very Dry Skin Lotion
Eucerin Intensive Repair Very Dry Skin Lotion Reviews
Great for Dry, Sensitive SkinI purchased this on a recommendation from my dermatologist for my dry, itchy, sensitive skin on my legs. I have a mild case of eczema on my legs and this has helped so much. I apply this once I have toweled off after a shower and it absorbs into my skin fairly quickly. Because this is completely fragrance free, it will not irritate those with sensitive skin and/or allergies. This is also nice ...read morebecause it won't interfere with other perfumes you may wear. My one morning application of this lotion keeps my legs hydrated all day long. This, combined with a moisturizing, non scented body wash has been such a relief for my dry, irritated legs. The unsightly bumps I used to have on my legs are gone. Eucerin is an inexpensive brand and a little of this lotion goes a long way making this a great value for money. I often see coupons for Eucerin as well, making it even less expensive. For me, this is a daily essential and one I will continue to purchase. — 4 years, 8 months agoHeathRene | 285 reviews

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Size was smaller than i envisioned but loved them just the same. Picture color was vibrant. We chose the green option and were pleased. Very heavy but foldable card stock. Super quick turn around! Over all happy with everything!"
"I really loved the design of this card! The dress is just beautiful against the soft pink background with the gold accents! Everyone LOVED it!"
"These cards are perfect, printed on quality paper and delivered with quality envelopes. We've gotten many compliments on them. The layout for the design is great, I recommend not changing much and just inserting your picture and names!"
"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience."
"Lots of compliments on this beautiful card! Very easy to add our favorite photos and the quality of the printing was amazing! Nice thick paper and perfect amount of space to write a heartfelt thank you."

|This article is about a/an episode in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.
The Great Bull King (猛牛大王 Mōgyūdaiō) is the thirty-third episode of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. It is the first appearance of MougyuDai-Oh.
With the Ushi Origami running amuck and Hiro trapped inside, the Shinkenger must work with his grandfather to figure a way to stop the rampage and prevent Happouzu from taking control of it for Akumaro.
As the Ushi Origami continues its rampage, Dayu prepares to throw the broken blade of Juzo's Uramasa into the sea as respect for the fallen swordsman when Akumaro reveals that Juzo is still alive and he wishes the former samurai to work for him. He promises to repair her shamisen and Juzo's Uramasa in return. Later that night, Dayu finds Juzo to relay Akumaro's message to him.
Meanwhile, after having no luck in finding the Ushi Orgami, Kotoha suggests to Takeru and the others to send the Origami to find Hiro who is still inside the Ushi Origami. By daybreak, the Origami return to Shinkengers as Toji gives Takeru a special Secret Disk to destroy the Ushi Origami. Sending the others ahead of him, Takeru learns that the old man sees the Ushi Origami to be responsible for the death of Hiro's parents. As he expresses his guilt that it is partly his fault that they died and that Hiro is in trouble, Takeru tells him otherwise and returns the Secret Disk to Toji. On their way to find Hiro, the Shinkengers are ambushed by Happouzu and several Nanashi. Takeru joins the battle and when both Dayu and Juzo arrive to hold the Shinkengers back, Takeru goes forward to find Happouzu ready to kill Hiro who tries to tame the Ushi Origami.
However, the Origami begins its rampage again as Toji arrives to reveal that he too wished to control the Ushi Origami. Together, Hiro and Toji absorb the excess Mojikara that drives the Ushi Origami wild before it destroys a nearby city. Takeru as Super Shinken Red also destroys Happouzu, who gains the intent to destroy the Ushi Origami now that it cannot be under his control in his second life. Given the reigns of the Ushi Origami, Takeru turns the Ushi Origami into MouGyuDaiOh, who slays the Ayakashi as Juzo and Dayu take their leave. Parting ways with the Sakakibara clan, Takeru and his vassals make their way home with a new Origami in their arsenal.

Which Henry Big Boy would you get?
Henry Big Boy Rifles
.44, .45 Colt or .357?
I only revolver I own is those calibers is a .357, so if I got one of the larger ones I'd have to start stocking up on ammo for another caliber. It would be mostly for recreation, but if I ever decided to carry it bear hunting the .357 is too small.
I have one in a .357 and love it (also have several pistols in .357) I personally would not want any of those calibers for bear in a lever action. If you do not get a perfect shot all you'll get is a p.o. bear. Get the .357 for it's versatility and get an 30.06 for the bear. I love pistol calibers in a lever action, but I also want to live to a ripe old age!
Save up $200 more and get one of these =] it's not made in America but it's a whole lot purdier
Uberti 1866 Yellowboy Lever-Action Rifle
I recently went shooting with a friend who has the Henry in .44 mag. It is a great shooting rifle. We were hitting pop cans at 100 yards easily. We found a load that works great in both his rifle and our pistols. We used the Hornady 240-grain bullet and 19.6 grains of Lil Gun. They were shooting at about 1300 fps out of my Super Blackhawk and 1530 out of his Henry.
the new one that comming out soon 45 70 that looks different
Killing a bear that is browsing or unaware is not the same as killing one that is charging. 44 mag might work on a small black bear but it is not enough cartridge for an emergency shot on a larger bear unless you are cool enough and good enough to hit the nose on a charging bear. You might kill the bear but it will probably kill you back. Not too long ago a guy in Alaska killed a charging bear with a 454 Casull revolver. The bear was sick and starving. It was hungry not enraged. A healthy bear would probably have killed him. A 12 gauge shotgun slug has 2X the power of a 44 mag and it needs multiple hits unless you are lucky and/or very good. Before the 458 Win Mag came out some of the Alaskan guides were carrying African doubles. Some still do as they may have to protect their clients from a very mad wounded bear. Get a 45-70 or 450 in a Marlin. A BLR or an 1895 would also be a possibility in lever guns.

Has there ever been a better, or more harrowing film about basic training than Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987) — a film that proves conclusively that, as one of its characters says, "The dead know only one thing: it is better to be alive"? I don't think so. From real life non-actor R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, a former Marine drill instructor who whips his recruits into shape for Vietnam, to the hapless Sad Sack Leonard Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio), who eventually snaps after months of brutalization, Full Metal Jacket deals with Kubrick's classic recurring theme — the mind breaks down.
The homicidal computer Hal in 2001; Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) in The Shining; General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) in Dr. Strangelove; Humbert Humbert (James Mason) in Lolita; Alex (Malcolm McDowell) in A Clockwork Orange; all of them lose conrol over their mental faculties, and spiral down to varying degrees of madness. Full Metal Jacket, then, is not only about the the madness of war, but also about the wounds, both physical and psychic, that it inflicts on those who participate in it.
As Rita Kempley wrote in the Washington Post,
"Full Metal Jacket, based on Gustav Hasford's novel The Short-Timers, is a disturbing, indelible movie structured in two parts — the first is a boot camp opera, the Parris Island Follies, a drill instructor's aria sung to a chorus of grunts; the second takes the Marine Corps kids-turned-killers to the rubble that was Hue, where they are pinned down by fierce fighting men and little girls with guns. It's symbolic that the sharpshooter, nothing more than a slip of a girl, should turn the war upside down for these killers created from cornfed boys called "ladies" by their DI.
The raw recruits, shorn of their hair and so their individuality, become crack combat troops under the tutelage of the archetypal Marine drill instructor hollering insults faster than Rambo kills commies and 20 times as lethal. Tearing down their defenses, their relationships, realigning their sex drives, he marries love and violence, the soldier to his rifle. Lee Ermey, a former Marine NCO, is a natural as Sgt. Hartman, the bulldog-faced terror who turns these babies into replacement parts for Uncle Sam's Lean Green Fighting Machine."

Tell us about yourself.
I grew up in California and moved to Texas at age 14 and then moved again to South Carolina. When I graduated from high school, I wanted to be a criminologist and get as much experience as I could. However, I discovered that I had to be at least 21 to be a criminologist. I wanted to get solid hands-on experience in the field, so I joined the Army at age 18 and served for five years in Germany and Fort Carson, CO.
I knew that as soon as I got out of the Army, I would go back to school to pursue my degree. I returned to civilian life in the fall of 2009. I am married now and have a six-month-old daughter. I live in Algonquin, IL, and attend National Louis University's Chicago campus once per week.
What was the most challenging part about returning to civilian and academic life?
I am not working at all now, as I attend school and care for my daughter, so that was a big adjustment from military life. Also, in the military it's much more defined. You have a goal at hand, and you reach it fairly quickly. While I know that my goal is to graduate and pursue my career goals, it isn't as tangible as it was when I was in the military and will take a bit longer.
Why did you select NLU?
I chose NLU because after leaving the military, I thought I wanted to be a teacher. I have several friends who are teachers and highly recommended the program at NLU. I still had an interest in criminology, but didn't think there were many career opportunities in that field, so I planned to earn a bachelor's degree in behavioral sciences and then pursue a masters in teaching. However, upon further research, I realized that there were a lot of opportunities for me in the field of criminology, so I am focusing on that, and I'm scheduled to graduate this spring.
I love it at NLU. I'm in a cohort, so I take classes with the same small group of people for the entire 15 months I'm in the program. The teachers are so understanding. They realize that many of us have families, jobs, etc. My cohort has been a huge support as well.
How has NLU's Veterans Program helped you, as a veteran military student, the most?
The Veterans Program really helped me maximize my GI Bill benefits. I research everything before I move forward with a decision, so I already knew a lot about what I needed to do. NLU helped make sure that I was on the right path with my GI Bill benefits. They helped me understand how to use the Yellow Ribbon Program, which helps me pay for any tuition that is not covered by the GI Bill benefit.
What should other potential student veterans know about NLU that they might not already know?
I highly recommend that potential student veterans do a lot of research before selecting a school. Look at how to use the GI Bill benefit first and then compare that with how each school is set up. For example, see if the school has a quarter or semester system. That will affect how often you receive your GI Bill benefit.
Also, try to take full advantage of the resources that the school offers. I see a lot of resources at NLU that I didn't use but wish I did -– especially within the Veterans Program.

Splended Cruise on the Carnival Splendor: Carnival Splendor Cruise Review by GotDrums
Overall Member Rating
Splended Cruise on the Carnival Splendor
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
I believe Carnival is really wanting to lose the moniker of being the Walmart of cruise lines and still over a great cruise for a great price.I had originally wanted to do this route with the Disney Wonder on their last sailing because I love the ports. But at the last minute Disney jumped their price up over one thousand dollars for a balcony cabin. I got the Carnival cruise for half the price going spa balcony.We sailed with two first time cruisers my daughter in law and granddaughter who is 13.
Carnival executive assistant Kay set us up with VIP embarkation which was very nice we were personally escorted with the other VIPs past the lines and were on the ship at 11:30 am.Very smooth More and organized. Also had some goodies in the room champagne and a fruit basket as well as some chocolate covered strawberries. Thank you Kay. This was for my bad experience with Carnival.
Let me go over the great stuff first.
I have sailed only Fantasy class in my past cruises with Carnival and they were ok.
This ship was big and beautiful. I am NOT a fan of Joe Farcus and glad to see he is going away from Carnival. Nothing against Joe personally I just think his designs are bad and gaudy.
Not so with the Splendor. I have heard people call it the pink nightmare but its really not that. Its not hot pink but rather a subtle salmon. Every nook and space of this ship is really splendid. The retro floor to wall pictures between cabins is a very cool touch and we spent one day just looking at the pics and stuff on the wall. Very cool. Cant figure out the naked statues by the bar areas but a lot of people were taking pics of them.
Photographers were great on this ship the cruise elegant night pictures we had taken were the best we have ever had on 10 cruises.
To bad Carnival still does not enforce the dress code that even the Maitre D stated would be enforced in the dining room. O well
Our cabin was great (I posted a video tour on U Tube). A little small for four people but still good. Balcony was small plus on the down side people that are on the Serenity deck can see right down on you if you are not flat against the wall. Amenities were great with lots of cool Elemis stuff and beige towels. Oriental decor is great as well. On the downside only two people get unlimited use of the Thasso pool and steam rooms not all people booked in rooms.Plus it is advertised you get two free fitness classes (only two people get this as well). You get two free yoga classes and it is only on Mon,Tues or Fri.
The cabin is up high on 11 deck but the rocking was not bad except on the last day back when the whole ship was rocking pretty good (and such is the Pacific).
Worst thing about the room though was that people tend to congregate over the edge of the Serenity deck and you can hear them down in your room. We were in 1103 and even though we were near the entrance to the spa and the elevator there was not an excess of noise here.Found butts on my balcony one morning which was bad from people flicking their butts so make sure you don't leave stuff drying out here.That really could cause a problem.
Nan our room steward and Luis her assistant were the best we have had at sea. They remembered our names and used them every time.
You always here this talked about but these folks (except for Disney) used them.
Cruise director Todd Wittmer was great very good and congenial host. His staff however for the most part was rude and acted like they didn't want to be there most of all some blond lady from Atlanta.All this was odd to me because Todd was such a great guy but your staff always reflects a leaders leadership. So ???
Shows were great still some of the best at sea.
Food choices were also very good from the sushi bar which also served tapas on some days, to Indian, burrito bar, grilled food, and many other choices. Plus Carnival bought back the Chocolate buffet which was laid out and looked great. No ice sculptures but still some great presentation.
Food was good. There pumpkin soup is still the best at sea.
Plate presentation was a zero here literally none at all. But the food still tasted very good and there were lots of choices.
The opportunity here still is the staff. The buffet staff were just glorified busboys not bad people mind you they would say hi back if you said hi. But they just kind of hovered in the background waiting to clear the table. Not once was I offered by them to refresh my drink.
We did Anytime dining which was a nightmare the first night. Got a waiter that actually acted like we were an inconvenience to him. I then went to guest services and pulled all our tips for dining staff for the entire week and requested envelopes.
The second night was better and kudos to Lucio and Eduardo who were great. I found that even with anytime dining you can request the waiter every night which we did.
The Matre D Larissa from Lithuania was the best and most engaged of any Maitre D we have seen in our 10 cruises and we have had good ones on Disney and Princess. She was fun and even stopped at our table to chat a bit and see how things were going. I really liked how Carnival seems to be taking guests complaint seriously now.
Disappointed that the dress code was not kept on Elegant nights but O well.
Our 13 year old daughter has a bit of a hard time the first day out getting her sea legs but after that we were fine.
The ship was very easy to get around in and all the pools and water slide was great. Our 13 year old decided to to use Circle C because there really was not a lot going on for here age group and you could tell this by a almost zero lack of participation from this club.
Punchliner Comedy club was great. Family shows were better than the adult shows. One comic almost seemed uncomfortable with his own gratuitous cussing. Didn't seem to fit him.
Couple of things that stuck out that need improvement.
Movie selection on the big screen on deck was awful.
No current run movies.
Now of course I don't cruise just to watch a movie but after a long day at shore its cool to sit back on deck and watch a movie. But "Field of Dreams"? Hey I like that movie but how about something current that you are charged 10.99 in your cabin for.
Besides the shows and Comedy club the music was very good Jimmy's band on the main stage was great as well as the Latin band. Not a whole lot to do on the ship besides that and Skippy the shopping guru was not as engaged or nice as you would expect.
The one big downer was coming on board and finding nothing-zero-to recognize you as a past guest. Not even a welcome back card written in your room. We had some goodies because of past problems but there was nothing to recognize us in our cabins for being past cruisers. Well let me correct that there was a free 45 minute party for past guests with free booze. But what happens if you don't drink?
The captain here was probably the only one I have seen in past cruises that was not at all engaged with his guests. At the Captains party I could not even find the Captain plus no pictures were taken with him at all that I could find. And when I asked guest services they said no the captain would not take picture with the guests. That's the first Ive seen this on any ship including Carnival.
And the captains lack of guest engagement will always reflect on the crew which he commands.Big disappointment. Plus a really rough ride back home on this ship.
Last thing was the mattresses in our cabin. Not sure where they got these or if Carnival is cutting costs but there is no way these mattresses were the same as we have experienced on past Carnival cruises.Not even very comfortable at all. And this is a category where Carnival surpassed any cruise line I have ever sailed with from Disney,Princess,and RC.
Whats up here?
All in all though great cruise at a great price.
I do believe Carnival is starting to really listen to guests complaints and doing something about it.
I will cruise them at this point again.
Most of all because of their price point.
Happy Cruising. Less
