Amelia's 25 Best Posts & Slideshows Of 2011
While there are still a few days left in 2011, we're going to feature some of our best and favorite posts from the last year. Each of your regular Frisky bloggers has picked out her favorite posts from 2011—some you may remember well, others might have slipped under your radar. Either way, we hope you'll relive the best of The Frisky in 2011. Here's what I was proud to write in 2011.
1. Girl Talk: I Was Date Raped When I Drunk
I wrote this essay somewhat on a whim because it was a topic that we had been discussing around the office. I was pretty shocked by the level of response it got and was deeply, deeply moved by the numbers of readers who so vehemently came to my defense and who made discussing the subject (mostly) productive.
2. Girl Talk: I Have A Picking Problem
An update on my bald spot: it's still there, but the hair seems to be growing back.
Timing is working somewhat in my favor, in small ways, right now. The subject of this particular piece and I are spending New Year's together. At a Phish concert. It's going to be epic.
5. An Open Letter To Ryan Gosling, Praising His Decision To Turn Down People's "Sexiest Man Alive" Title
6. Penn State Students Protesting Joe Paterno's Firing Need A Reality Check
7. Girl Talk: I Won't Cook For Just Any Man Again
9. Soapbox: I'm Sorry, But I Just Need To Rant About This Stupid xoJane "Plan B" Piece
Sometimes a gal just needs to rant.
11. Girl Talk: I'm Proud That My Mom Got Arrested
I'm still enormously proud of my mom and am happy to report that so long as she doesn't get in trubs with the law for the next six months, her arrest will be wiped off the books.
13. Girl Talk: How Much Should I Know About My Therapist?
14. The Soapbox: Assorted Thoughts On That Gizmodo/OKCupid/Magic The Gathering Dating Essay
16. Girl Talk: Dating A Man With Autism Taught Me To Be Myself
I am still thinking about the ways this unusual relationship had a positive impact on my life, even though it ended badly.
17. Dating Don'ts: Please, These 7 Romantic Gestures Need To Go
18. Girl Talk: When I Grow Up I Want To Be Tami Taylor

When Sherry Janes moved to Sarasota she didn't know anyone and as a single woman her social life was pretty bleak and she had a hard time meeting men that she would like to date.
She tried on line dating, even considered a Matchmaker, which in Sarasota can cost around $10,000. But then she came up with a better idea. A friend in Chicago told her about a singles group there and she decided to launch a similar group here.
They'll have their first meeting on Friday night at 6 at the Chart House Restaurant. This event is open to everyone, you don't have to be a member.
Sherry plans for the Sarasota Singles Society to attend theatrical, sporting , musical and all other types of events. There will be gourmet dinners, big parties and trips, so people can get to know each other, make friends to go out with, travel with, and maybe even fall in love with
If you decide to join after Friday's meeting, membership dues for the rest of the year are $25, and for the first 6 months of next year $125.
Sherry expects a lot of deep friendships and maybe even serious romances to develop.

The country pop singer was forced to call off her September 12 concert to recover from a viral infection.
Country and pop superstar LeAnn Rimes was forced to cancel her September 12 concert in Dublin, Ireland after she entered an emergency room the day before. A representative for the 31-year-old songstress said Rimes had a "resurgence of a viral infection that she has been struggling with the past two weeks."
"Never thought I'd see the ER in Dublin. I have coughed myself into pain. The spasm is intense. Being human sucks sometimes," wrote Rimes on Twitter the morning she needed to check herself in for the intense coughing. After struggling with it while she's busy touring, it finally caught up with her, forcing her to cancel her Friday night gig at the Vicar Street venue she was scheduled to play in.
The "Just a Girl Like You" singer is "currently on vocal rest in her hotel room under a doctor's care and a vocal specialist." Since she cannot speak a word, the hotel provided her with a large whiteboard, which Rimes posted on Twitter to update her followers, captioned in jest with, "I was thinking smaller but that'll wrk lol."
Most likely those who had already bought tickets to her show weren't in such a similarly good mood, especially after they got wind of the cancellation only a couple of hours before the concert was supposed to have started. It did not help their disappointment that prior to Rimes' illness and the show's cancellation, the artist had tweeted a photo of herself partying with employees of Twitter's Dublin office.

Skip to comments.Obama bust finds home at Presidents Park
Posted on 02/14/2009 10:17:58 AM PST by NCjim
For the first time since Presidents Park in Williamsburg was built five years ago, there's a new addition: a bust of President Barack Obama.
On Friday, about two dozen people witnessed the unveiling of the bust, which is mounted in a case just above eye level and bears a lifelike resemblance to the president in a suit and tie.
"The model captures all of the elements of Obama in the newest defining moment in American history," said Everette Newman III, president of the park.
The bust is the work of artist David Adickes, who crafted towering statues of the 42 other presidents at the park. The 10-acre site opened in 2004 and is currently up for sale.
"It was his second model," Newman said of the artist's Obama bust. "He was not pleased with the first. I believe it's his best work. It is stunning and has the dignity and expression of the newest president."
The model now sits in the lobby but is only a stand-in for a larger statue Newman said he hopes will join the other statues outside.
Park officials say they need to raise $60,000 to build the 16- to 18-foot-tall sculpture by July 4.
Newman said he plans to position the roughly 4-ton statue in a spot just to the right of President George W. Bush.
May a thousand pigeons pay tribute the One.
Of course it is lifelike. The eyes are as cold and dead as his.
Obama sh*t-bird statue - coming soon to a public park near you. This is so typically Commie.
I hope so:
the big ears,
the vacuous grin...
May a thousand pigeons pay tribute the One.
May very large dogs also pay tribute to the False
The correct title should say..
Obama's a BUST!!
My thoughts, exactly. Also.....may it attract like a magnet many, many rolls of cheap toilet paper. :)
a lifelike resemblance to the president in a suit and tie.
Obviously it's not a likeness of what he looks like when he's in the oval office.
Or a boob!
Just to the right of President Bush?
May it someday suffer the same fate as that statue of the other Hussein in Baghdad.
Looks nothing like Obama. More like Harold Ford, who has much nicer features. Where are the ears? The odd mouth?
I agree - it looks nothing like him.
It would be more appropriate to mount it to the left of Bush.
Piss be upon Obama and his graven image.
I miss the old days. Bill Clintons busts were always so lifelike.................

|Exposure to Neurotoxins as Risk Factors for ALS: Measurement of Genes, Proteins, Neurotoxicants, and Other Factors Potentially Associated With ALS
|Brief Summary
Chemicals called neurotoxins can harm the nervous system. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease affecting movement. Researchers have studied many possible causes of ALS, including injury, diet, and exposure to chemicals, but these studies were inconclusive.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether exposure to lead or other neurotoxins can contribute to ALS. The study also evaluated lifestyle and dietary patterns. The study was completed in 1994-1996.
One hundred eighty-two participants took part in this study 110 patients with ALS and 72 who did not have ALS. Each completed a questionnaire concerning lifestyle, diet, and residential, job, and medical history. Participants contributed 50 cc of blood, used to measure lead, as well as clippings of their toenails, used to measure mercury and other metals. They then underwent an XRF test (an X-ray procedure) to measure the level of lead in their shinbones and knees. Genes related to ALS or susceptibility to lead exposure were also evaluated.
|Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: Stored blood and toenail samples are available from a case-control study of ALS conducted in 1993-1996. The purpose of the initial study was to examine the relationship to ALS of lead and other exposures, including mercury, pesticides, and solvents, as well as genetic susceptibility to these exposures. The protocol was closed in May 1997 (closed protocol #95-007) after recruitment of study subjects ended. The objective of the present proposal is to reopen the protocol to permit measurement in blood or toenails of genes, proteins, neurotoxicants, and other factors or agents potentially associated with ALS, as well as analyses of existing data. The short-term goal is to measure (i) polymorphisms in DNA repair genes; (ii) serum protein profiles; and (iii) serum organochlorine pesticide levels. Other factors may be of interest in the future, for example polymorphisms in other genes or levels of metals in blood or toenails. We also plan (iv) to continue analyses of existing data. Some data analysis will involve combining data from the original ALS study with data from the Harvard Normative Aging Study, a cohort study of World War II verterans that has collected demographic, lifestyle, and medical data as well as information on bone and blood lead levels.
STUDY POPULATION: No new subjects will be recruited for this protocol. The original study involved 110 ALS cases, 31 hospital controls with other neurologic diseases, and 256 population controls, recruited in New England between 1993 and 1996. The population controls were frequency matched to the cases on the basis of age, gender, race, and region within New England.
DESIGN: The original study was a case-control study. Data collection involved an interview collection of blood and toenail samples, and measurement of bone lead using x-ray fluorescence. Stored blood and/or toenail samples are available from 107 ALS cases, 31 hospital controls, and 39 population controls. The present study will use conventional techniques to measure genetic polymorphisms and serum organochlorine levels and newly developed SLDI-TOF technology to evaluate serum protein profiles.
OUTCOME PARAMETERS: The outcome parameter is risk of ALS. Associations with ALS risk will be evaluated for polymorphisms in DNA repair genes; serum protein profiles; and organochlorine pesticide levels in serum.

On a recent edition of "The MMA Hour", UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos opened up more about his champion status, fighting clean fighters, and never using PEDs.
"I don't know exactly what happened with Alistair Overeem, but I don't care about that. It's between him and the athletic commission. I think he has to try to get that license to fight again. But, I always am going to be in favor to fight the clean fighters. I don't use anything to make me stronger or faster and I don't agree with people who use that you know. So, if he did, then it's a bad thing for him and I think that the athletic commission did very well to put him nine months waiting for the next fight. As a champion, though, I will fight whoever the UFC tells me to fight. I don't choose my opponents and I will fight anyone in the world. Everybody wants to know who the real champion, I am the real champion because I have never taken anything. When you see me, that is me for real, that is myself fighting and they see Junior dos Santos being the real champion in the fight. When they use drugs to get a better performance, that is not them fighting, it's very frustrating because it is not real and people want to know the champion for real, and I can tell you, I'm the champion for real."
JDS was expected to have a standup war with Alistair Overeem for the heavyweight title at UFC 146. However, as we all know by now, Overeem was taken off the card following a random drug test which produced extremely high testosterone levels. He has since been suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for nine months.
JDS will now face Frank Mir for the heavyweight title at UFC 146 in Las Vegas, Nevada.Tags: champion, clean, featured, JDS, Junior Dos Santos, las vegas, Overeem, PEDs, title, ufc, ufc 146, Welterweight

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/5/2014 (1196 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Was it a tragic collision in unavoidable circumstances that claimed an innocent driver's life?
Or was it a preventable car wreck: a crime triggered by a suspected impaired motorist allegedly distracted from the road by texting on his cellphone?
These questions are at the heart of a long-awaited trial that got underway in Winnipeg Monday.
Vann Hansell, 22, has pleaded not guilty to several charges, including criminal negligence, dangerous driving and impaired driving causing the death of Mark Derry in a Sept. 6, 2011 evening crash on Dugald Road. He is presumed innocent.
Derry, 53, died in hospital hours after his Dodge Neon was struck by Hansell's Toyota truck.
Prosecutors allege Hansell was impaired and using his cellphone when he failed to notice a vehicle stopped on Dugald near Goodyear Avenue, waiting for a city water crew to stop blocking traffic as they moved equipment.
Court heard Monday Hansell's truck swerved into the oncoming lane and bashed Derry's vehicle nearly head on before becoming airborne for a time and landing on the passenger side in the road.
Derry's car -- outweighed by the truck by 482 kilograms -- was severely damaged.
Emergency crews had to cut off the roof and a door in order to pull Derry from the vehicle.
Winnipeg police Const. Sylvio Hogue, a traffic reconstruction analyst, testified Derry would have had no time to react to the eastbound truck swerving into his lane on the two-way street.
Hogue estimated Hansell was not travelling more than the posted speed limit of 70 km/h.
He conceded, his speed estimate wasn't based on math, but instead on what witnesses told police.
There was virtually no physical evidence at the crash site to definitely say how fast Hansell was going, court heard.
There were no skid marks on the road, Hogue said.
Hansell told police after his arrest he was travelling 62 km/h, Hogue testified.
Still, Derry wouldn't have been able to avoid the collision, Hogue said.
"Likely (the truck) had been in the lane in less than a second," he said.
He theorized any evasive manoeuvre made by Derry would have seen the truck slam straight into his car door.
Photographs presented to Court of Queen's Bench Justice Colleen Suche show there were two orange road signs near the scene alerting drivers to road work.
After the crash, beer bottles, cans and other debris littered the street. It was not clear if they came from Hansell's vehicle, and if so, whether from inside the cab or from the bed of the pickup.
An iPhone was found among the items inside the truck and was seized as evidence.
In his opening statement, Crown attorney Mark Kantor alleged Hansell took a breath test in hospital and blew a "warn," which means there was some alcohol in his body, the grey area between 0.05 and 0.08 blood-alcohol content.
Police then got a warrant to obtain his blood, Kantor said. An RCMP toxicologist will be called to testify about her analysis.
Defence lawyers Sheldon Pinx and Katherine Smith have signalled they plan to contest the lawful chain of custody of the blood sample.

Most of the major currencies continued to consolidate ahead of FOMC but in a few hours, volatility should pick up quickly and aggressively. At 2pm ET / 19 GMT, we will learn if the Federal Reserve thinks it is time to start tapering asset purchases and shortly thereafter we will be listening for their forward guidance. Post FOMC trades should not be placed until the Fed's forward guidance is clear. Over the past few days, we have written various pieces about what to expect from the Fed and how it could impact the dollar. Today, we are compiling all of those views into one report to give our readers a thorough preview of the FOMC meeting.
Over the past week, the dollar appreciated against many of the major currencies but the gains have been small. Since the surprisingly strong labor market numbers, the dollar strengthened against the AUD, GBP and NZD but weakened against the EUR, JPY, CAD and CHF. This price action reflects the level of uncertainty and lack of conviction for the central bank's actions this month.
The decision to taper or not to taper is a close one. For the Federal Reserve, the greatest motivation for December tapering is the strength of U.S. data. Since the last FOMC meeting, we have seen a significant recovery in consumer spending and the labor market but there are still pockets of weakness in other parts of the economy. To get a sense of what the central bank could do, lets start by putting ourselves into the shoes of the Fed by looking at how economic data has changes since the last FOMC announcement on October 30th. Non-farm payrolls averaged 204k over the past 4 months and this strength drove the unemployment rate down to 7%. Retail sales also rebounded in November after contracting in September and according to the latest consumer sentiment survey, Americans are feeling more optimistic. Unfortunately housing market activity has been uneven, inflation is low and while manufacturing activity accelerated, service activity slowed. Strong arguments can made to wait or to press forward with tapering.
With USD/JPY and the EUR/USD hovering right below multi-year highs, the big question on everyone's minds is which direction these pairs will move after Wednesday's FOMC announcement. We have seen USD/JPY and EUR/USD rise simultaneously when stocks responded positively to the non-farm payrolls report but the FOMC announcement is significant enough that we could also see a uniform reaction in the dollar. It all boils down to how clearly Ben Bernanke lays out its plans for ending Quantitative Easing before he leaves office. While it may be exciting for the outgoing Fed Chairman to outline his vision for ending a program he started in 2008, he won't be the one that has to deal with the consequences of withdrawing stimulus too slowly or quickly. It is important to remember that when it comes to the FOMC decision, one of the top priorities of the central bank is minimize the volatility from their announcement. This is the whole function of the press conference – to explain their decision and manage expectations so Bernanke's comments will be just as important as the decision on tapering.
Our base case scenario is for a small amount of tapering this month ($5 to $10 billion) followed by a noncommittal outlook for further reductions that would minimize the market's reaction and give Janet Yellen the flexibility to design her own strategy for unwinding stimulus. Here are the 4 highest probability scenarios for tomorrow's announcement and their potential impact on the dollar.

Focus on: Aviator Style!
Face winter with a trendy style: Parajumpers suggests the sherling jacket for him and for her.
Following the significant success of last Winter's shearling styles, the range has been extended and improved.
Parajumpers used a new type of shearling where the inside fur is "curly" and of a light, natural tone, which contrast with the shell color, thanks also to the raw cut seams on the women's styles and to the leather inserts on the men's.
So, choose the one that suits you best, stay warm and cool!

I went shopping in Old Navy last week while Chris was in school and I stumbled upon this cardigan.
Um, does it remind you of anything??
I just had to buy the sweater that was obviously inspired by my dahlia painting. ;) Here I am modeling it as we walked into downtown Newport a few nights ago.
And I wore it again when we went out in downtown Annapolis with some friends and family this weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, let's speak about this weekend. We went back down to MD so Chris could have some time to visit with his family before we head back to Hawaii.
Chris got in some good brother time...
Let's try that again... thaaat's better.
We spent a lot of time on the boat (complete with hair that makes me look like Pebbles).
Chris jumped right back into wake boarding after a year away, but said he still prefers the call of the ocean waves.
We took a side trip to my parents house and got to spend a little time goofing off with our ridiculous nieces and nephew.
And no trip home is complete without some beers at Rams Head with good friends.
What'd you do this weekend?
(Also, go buy that sweater and every time you wear it, think of me and how much you want to buy my paintings. :)

If You Breathe, Read This!
When the U.S. EPA proposed to cut mercury, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid and other toxic air pollutants from cement kilns, we cheered. When they announced plans to hold public hearings in Los Angeles, Dallas and Washington DC to hear from the public about why clean air is important, we got to work.
If you breathe, be happy. Cement kilns are some of the dirtiest air polluters in the country. In some states like Oregon, New York and California, they're the biggest mercury polluters as well. What the EPA proposed makes cuts of up to 93% in mercury, a potent neurotoxin that can cause memory loss and neurological damage to newborns and young children. But EPA also made cuts in pollution that causes asthma and leads to smog. And the fight isn't over yet.
The EPA needs to hear from us!
For over a decade, the cement industry has gotten a free pass to pollute, and it's time we take aggressive steps to crack down on corporations that pollute our rivers and streams, the water we drink and the air we breathe. On June 16 in Los Angeles, June 17 in Dallas, and June 18 in Washington D.C., EPA staff will be on hand to listen to your comments on their proposal to cut toxic air pollution from cement kilns. Here is more information about the hearings.
If you can attend one of the hearings, let us know. If you can't but still want your voice heard, write a 500-word essay about why clean air is important to you. We'll have representatives at every hearing and we'll read your essay to the EPA.

June 10th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) Costa Rica's largest public and private labor unions and social organizations are planning a nationwide general strike in protest of labor reforms made by the government of President Laura Chinchilla, which they say seek to remove workers' "human right" to strike.
The national general strike is planned for Tuesday, June 25th, according to Franco Benavides of the Labor Ministry workers' association, known as AFUMITRA.
Unions such as Undeca, APSE, ANDE, UNT, ANPE and others said they have studied the reforms and believe they violate the "human right" of both public sector and private sector employees to strike.
Union representatives said that in addition to workers' right to strike, they would also be protesting against concessions they believe violate national sovereignty, in addition to calls for the protection of farmers, the Social Security Fund and pensions, and against the "plunder" of natural resources.
Union officials say the planned strike would only be a demonstration of what will be an even greater strike against the government. Both public and private employees, dockworkers, public school teachers, and others are expected to participate in the planned strike, which leaders said would occur throughout the country.

Fantastic Week On The Epic - Solo Cruiser: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by kollegekreed
Overall Member Rating
Fantastic Week On The Epic - Solo Cruiser
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
I flew down to Miami the same day we sailed, so cant comment on hotels/etc. However, I did fly into FLL, not Miami, and used SAS transportation for $15 to get to the port. They were great and I highly recommend them.
Embarkation was extremely easy. I was in the terminal at 11:00 and on the ship by 11:30. Since they told everyone to go to lunch in the buffet, I went the other direction and did Spice H20. I then did some exploring and took a tour of the spa, and they talked me into an overpriced hot stone massage. But, it was really great and relaxing! I then met up with the "solo travelers" group and met a couple great people who I spent the next week with on the boat. They were in the More studio cabins. We all went to Taste for dinner. While the food was good, the temperature was just ok. My companions and I went and watched karaoke and then it was bedtime. Oh...went to Friends of Dorothy briefly but most of the attendees were of an advanced age, so didnt hang out.
On Day 2, we went to the Nick Slimetime in the Epic theater. It was really cute for the kids on board. Lunch was outside on the pool deck during the Mr Epic competition. Next was the martini tasting, for $15 you get 4 martinis...Cosmo, peartini, berry something or other, and chocolatini. Im not huge on martinis but it was a good time, and the chocolatini was great. One of my companions and I went and did trivia, and then we all did Moderno for dinner. Im not a huge meat person, so I didn't love it, but I heard others rave about it throughout the trip. At night I went to Weakest Link game show and was actually selected to be a contestant, which was fun. Stopped in at Howl at the Moon before a late night snack at O'Sheehans. We did Blue Man tonight, and I had seen them before, but they were still fantastic...a must see. Later in the week they also do an interview with the actors which was nice to attend as well.
Day 3 I did Taste for lunch. Food was good, waiter wasn't. Only time the whole trip I noticed bad service. Did Deal or No Deal, which is $19.95 to play...It was fun, but for those that haven't figured it out, it is a total ripoff and is fixed....they say you can win a cruise or 5 grand, but I asked the staff and no one has ever won more than $200. I spent some time in the casino and eventually ended the night at the FABBA party in Spice.
St Maarten was on Day 4...I didn't do much except walk around, so I cant comment on excursions. I wasn't impressed with any of the ports on this trip, but others were...so I wouldn't hold my commentary too highly in regards to ports. Back on the ship La Cucina was dinner, and it was good as it was when I was on the Spirit a year and a half ago. Did Legends that night, and I wasn't particularly impressed...the show itself was good, but Steven Tyler and Elvis (who looked more like Patrick Swayze, it must be said) just didn't do it for me. Madonna was great, however. I think with different acts it could be more enjoyable. Did the late night magician Jeff Hobson after...He was an absolute Riot, and a highlight of the trip. Please go see him if he is on your cruise!
St Thomas was Day 5...I took a taxi with many, many others to Magens Bay which was crowded but a nice destination. St Thomas was pretty poverty stricken from what I saw. Others highly recommended the skyride up the mountain for the views, but I didn't have time. When I got back that day I did the waterslides since the ship was quiet. They were good fun. Dinner was in the Manhatten room just to try it out, and it was average like taste. We did the ice bar and froze our toes off...It was something to do once, but I don't need to ever do it again! Newlywed game was going on that night and was HILARIOUS! We also did the Second City Late Night. They were actually pretty funny. I have seen them on other NCL cruises and wasn't impressed, but the audience suggestions helped this show out.
Day 6 sea day we did the murder mystery with second city. Food had a LOT to be desired (said "chicken" and served a chicken thigh...I don't eat dark meat...wasn't too thrilled). The show was great and second city was again funny. Did deal or no deal again cause im a sucker... ?. Played in the blackjack tournament which was fun, but got knocked out of the final table on the very last hand of the qualifying rounds...D'oh!. Taste for dinner, then the White Hot Party that night. Lots of fun, and the cruise staff did a great job.
Nassau was out last stop. Been there before, didn't like it the first time. Spent most of my time on the island in an internet cafe for cheap wireless! Back on the ship did some reading and did the buffet one last time for dinner. The Crew Talent Show was the last entertainment of the ship, and I was moved as always by the farewell song/performance. O'Sheehans for one last late night snack, and then bed.
Disembarkation was a breeze...off the ship in literally 5 minutes doing easy walk off...waited until almost 930 while others jammed the halls at 8am.
It was a really, really great trip. My favorite ship of the cruises I have been on. Ive read multiple complaints and would like to give my point of view:
Ship itself - Only big negatives are the way undersized pools/pool deck area.
Smoke - Barely noticeable in the casino even playing there except for walking through on the last note, I smelled a lot of smoke.
Lounge Chairs -I never ONCE had an issue with chairs. There were dozens available. Perhaps at 9AM there is a problem, but any time noon-on there was no issue at all. Also, there are multiple decks, and 18 and 19 have lots of unused chairs as well.
Cruise Director - I read a review saying that Richard didn't participate enough, etc. I have to strongly disagree...Richard was at almost every event, and brought high energy and comedy. Great CD.
Room layout - Whats the big deal? Toilet on one side, shower on the other. Sink is in the room. Not a big deal. BTW, room was good sized and closet is HUGE...Don't understand the storage complaints, either. I also got to see the studios and they were done well, in my opinion.
Service - This is the big one. I read a lot before my trip that the people on the epic just didn't care. What I encountered couldn't be further from the truth. The crew went out of their way to be friendly and helpful for the entire week, and I cant recommend them enough.
Please don't let the negative reviews deter you from going on this ship! Remember that most people take time to complain, but not to write about the positives! I certainly miss some things, like the promenade deck and different performances each night, but, overall, it was a great experience. Less

Her much anticipated debut at the Cafe Carlyle will feature songs that cross the genres of Filipino music, musical theater and the Great American Songbook, including "Let's Fall in Love," "On My Own," "A Whole New World," and "The Journey." Ms. Salonga will be supported by a quartet led by her Musical Director and pianist Larry Yurman. The evening will be directed by Daniel Kutner.

She went on to star in productions of Annie, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Fiddler on the Roof, The Rose Tattoo, The Sound of Music, The Goodbye Girl, Paper Moon, and The Fantasticks. She began her recording career at the age of ten with her first album, "Small Voice," which received a gold certification. Her second album, "Lea", was released in 1988. In addition to performing in musical theater and recordings, Salonga hosted her own musical television show, "Love, Lea," and also opened for international acts such as Menudo and Stevie Wonder. Salonga's big breakthrough came when she was selected to play Kim in the megahit musical Miss Saigon in 1989. For her performance as Kim, Salonga won the Olivier for Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical for the 1989/1990 season. From its original London home, Miss Saigon moved to Broadway in April 1991. Salonga subsequently garnered the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and the Theatre World Awards for the same role. In 1999, she was invited back to London to close the musical, and in 2001, at the age of 29 and after doing the Manila run of the musical, Salonga returned to Broadway to close the Broadway production. Upon completion of her initial stint as Kim on Broadway, Salonga played the role of street waif Eponine in the Broadway production of Les Misérables. After Miss Saigon's closing on Broadway in 2001, Salonga recreated the role of Lien Hughes originally played by Ming-Na Wen in the soap opera "As The World Turns." (After completing her contract that year, she was asked to return to the role in 2003.) She also guested on Russell Watson's "The Voice" concert, narrated for the television special "My America: A Poetry Atlas of the United States," and appeared on the Christmas episode of the TV medical drama "E.R.," playing the role of a patient with lymphoma. In 2002, Salonga returned to Broadway to play the role of a Chinese immigrant in a reinterpretation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song opposite Jose Llana. This was after the reinvented musical had a very successful run at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in 2001 with Salonga playing the lead role and with the show garnering multiple wins and nominations, including Lead Actress in a Musical for Salonga, from the Theatre Los Angeles Ovation Awards. The Salonga-led Broadway revival cast album was also a top contender at the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Musical Show Album. In 2005, Salonga played her first US concert tour in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlantic City, and Chicago. Concert dates in Washington, D.C. and Norfolk, Virginia followed. Later that year, Salonga performed with a 26-piece ensemble to a sold-out crowd at the Isaac Stern Hall in Carnegie Hall for the benefit of Diverse City Theater Company. In her 30-year career, Salonga has performed for five Philippine presidents (from Ferdinand Marcos to Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo), three American Presidents (George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush), and for Diana, Princess of Wales and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Please visitwww.leasalonga.com.

Hello from Central Europe. Nobody uses XBox here. XBox Live doesn't works …
Comment on 2011 "Year of the PS3" by Kurva17:
Hello from Central Europe. Nobody uses XBox here. XBox Live doesn't works here. Nobody counts console users here. And we've got entire Eastern Europe with same attitude.
So much about statistics ;-)
Kurva17 made other comments on this post:
- 2011 "Year of the PS3":
OK, let's get your facts straight. How many XBoxees were sold in UK? In western part of EU? Middle Europe? Eastern? In Russia? How many XBoxees sold Microsoft in Asia? And how about China or Japan? There is nothing like worldwide statistic of console sales. There are stats for few countries where somebody cares to count and US is *only* where one can see more XBoxees than PS3s.
- 2011 "Year of the PS3":
Heh. I didn't said i *can't* buy XBox here. In fact, there are shelf full of them in each bigger electronic-related store. Only problem (and it's really not my problem :-) is that nobody actually buys them. (few exceptions proves the rule)
- 2011 "Year of the PS3":
Dualcore with 2 years old graphics card is enough in my case. And, as far as I know, only wii emulator uses more than one thread, so that dualcore part is not really important ;-) But I'm not a "gamer" so emulator is enough for those 2 or 3 console games I'm sometimes playing. It's not something I'd want to use everyday. But still, it's possible.
- 2011 "Year of the PS3":
You can play PS2 games on PC as well as almost all games designed for Nintendo consoles (from old, good NES to "modern" Wii.)
Recent comments by Kurva17:

Emulators are region-free ;)
- Korean President: "The Emperor Should Kneel Before Us":
"Hey, Obama, I think we should put heavy tariffs on Chinese products." Heh. Sounds like good way to boost European economy. Why should we buy Chinese stuff through USA, when they can sold it to us directly. It's much cheaper that way. Please, do it soon ;)
- Kinect "Causes RRoD" "Broke a Little Boy's Xbox!":
Actually, silicon chip was invented by European, if we can count Britain as part of old continent.

After working in London and Manchester, Rebecca Long has returned home to manage Calne's new Costa.
The coffee shop in Phelps Parade will open on Saturday.
Miss Long, 22, attended Holy Trinity Primary School and John Bentley School before moving to London after her AS-levels.
Her first foray into the coffee business was at Costa in High Wycombe, Bucks.
She was offered the job in Calne after three rounds of interviews, and said she was excited to start living and working near her family.
Miss Long said: "I had heard rumours about it
coming to Calne and I thought I would love to come home.
"I want it to be a nice place for people to come and meet.
"There aren't enough places for people in Calne to come and do that. I'm hoping I can make a positive difference for the community. I'm hoping that it will be a fun, lively place.
"Calne has always been a tight community, everyone knows everyone.
"Living in London is different to that, so I'm looking forward to it."
On Saturday, a jazz band will play in the town centre until 2pm and Calne Mayor Roy Golding will open the store with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10am.
Coun Golding said: "I'm delighted Calne is getting a Costa. We increasingly rely on cafés, coffee shops and recreational activity to maintain the footfall necessary to keep the High Street going.
"With Costa moving in, it indicates the centre of Calne is on the way up."
Miss Long will manage six other team members, including four former John Bentley pupils.
She said although she enjoyed drama at school and used to dream of being an
actress, she enjoyed working in a coffee shop because it
allowed her to interact with customers.
She said: "It's a very social job and I was a very people person, so I thought I would be good at it.
"I just love working with people. It can be hard at times but that's the same as any other job."
Miss Long hopes the store's Sunday opening hours will help to bring life to the town at the weekend.
Matt Coulthard, Costa's operational manager, said he hoped the Calne shop would become a community hub.
He said: "We intend to play an active role in this vibrant community and therefore want to extend a warm
welcome to anyone who enjoys coffee and wants to meet their friends or business
colleagues in the heart of town."

Plum School District, school aides agree on contract
It took more than a year-and-a half of negotiations and fact finding, but in the end, the Plum School District and its administrative assistants reached an agreement on a contract.
The Plum School Board last week voted 8-0 to a three-year pact that is retroactive to July 1, 2011 and extends through June 30, 2014.
Board member Richard Zucco was not in attendance at the Nov. 27 meeting.
"I guess it's fair," said Becky Gralewski, a payroll assistant and president of the Plum Borough School District Educational Secretaries/Educational Support Professionals, the union representing the 20 administrative assistants. "We would have liked more in salary increases."
Gralewski said the union voted 15-0 to accept the terms of the contract that are identical to the fact-finder's recommendations released in August.
The fact-finder recommended, and the board and administrative assistants ultimately accepted, a pay freeze retroactive to 2011-12, followed by a 25-cents per hour increase for 2012-13 and a 35-cents-an-hour increase for 2013-14.
The aides also receive one more personal day — from two to three and three weeks vacation after five years. In the previous contract, administrative assistants earned three weeks of vacation after six years on the job.
The administrative assistants a few months ago had voted to accept the fact-finder's recommendations. The school board voted to reject the report. Board President Andrew Drake said the report didn't address all the points of dispute between the two sides.
The two sides then went back into negotiations.
Gralewski said the breakthrough in negotiations occurred when the administrative assistants agreed to drop an unfair labor practice action they filed against the district over the school board's hiring in 2011 of Kelly Educational Staffing Services based in Troy, Mich., to handle calling, assigning and doing payroll for substitute workers.
A Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board hearing examiner, in a proposed decision July 31, ruled that the district violated its contract with its administrative assistants by hiring an outside company to do the work. The district appealed the proposed decision.
The school board in the summer extended the contract for the staffing firm into the current school year.
"I don't like the idea that we still have Kelly," Gralewski said.
Gralewski said the district was in the process of soliciting bids from outside contractors to perform the administrative assistants' duties.
Board member Sal Colella, who chairs the personnel committee, said with the vote to approve a contract, the board is no longer pursuing outsourcing the jobs.
Colella said he is pleased with the agreement.
"Sometimes it takes a third party to thread the needle for success between two parties," Colella said.
Colella praised the employees for their strong work ethic.
"They are good people who come to work," Colella said. "We have good employees in place."

The Medicine Valley Raider football team opened the 2013 season last Friday night against the Elwood Pirates at home in Curtis. In a game that saw two weather delays and lasted nearly four hours the home team fell short and lost 34-26.
On offense the team was led by junior Chase Barthel who rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown while also throwing for 44 yards as quarterback. Junior Cody Aspenleiter rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns, and senior Quinten Chancellor rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown. Aspenleiter also led the team in receiving with one catch for 29 yards.
On defense junior Keaton Lenz led the team with nine solo tackles and four assisted tackles. Joining Lenz on defense was Quinten Chancellor who recorded seven solo tackles, one assisted tackle, and hauled in an interception.
The Raiders started the scoring on the night when Barthel ran for a six yard touchdown with 4:42 left in the first quarter. The Raiders failed to convert on the two-point play and led 6-0.
Elwood scored the next two touchdowns of the half and went into the break with a 14-6 lead.
Inclement weather moved into the Curtis area at this point and caused a delay in the game forcing the teams to wait indoors until the weather had passed.
When play resumed Elwood continued their offensive dominance as they scored on a 64-yard pass play with 7:36 left in the third quarter to extend their lead to 21-6. But Medicine Valley answered right away when Cody Aspenleiter scored on a six-yard rush and then Chase Barthel ran the conversion in to bring Medicine Valley to be within seven points of Elwood with a score of 21-14. But that was as close as the Raiders would get as another weather delay delayed the game. Aspenleiter scored his second touchdown of the night with 10:24 left of the fourth quarter with a three yard run. Quinten Chancellor scored the last touchdown with 3:53 left of the game, but it was too little too late and the Raiders fell 34-26.

Typical: MSNBC's Bashir, Reid Try to Blame Bush for IRS Scandal
Here's a classic from the Obama playbook: Whenever you're in trouble, find a way to blame George W. Bush for it.
That concept was in play on Thursday afternoon's edition of MSNBC's Martin Bashir program, when the liberal host and contributor Joy Reid were able to convince their guest, GOP strategist Ron Christie, to admit that Steven Miller, the former acting director of the Internal Revenue Service, was appointed by "the previous administration," a phrase used to describe Bush.
Following the quick firing of Miller on Wednesday and President Obama's promise to hold everyone involved accountable, Bashir asked Christie if the action by the Democratic occupant of the White House was sufficient.
"No, it's not," the Republican stated before calling the IRS scandal "one of the most chilling cases involved with the coercive powers of government."
Christie then said:
This scandal isn't about President Obama, this is about a culture within the Internal Revenue Service that seemed to think it was okay, that singling out people due to their partisan affiliation would be somehow fine.
While Bashir asserted that the outrage at the political targeting by the IRS is warranted, he noted that the IRS wasn't wrong for targeting political organizations, they were wrong for not targeting more political organizations.
Reid agreed that it's bad "if the IRS can chill speech by auditing someone, or the threat of an audit," but she noted that "what we're talking about here are groups going to the federal government and asking for a special dispensation from the tax code."
"Whether it's on the right or left, we're not talking about the audit, or power to tax, as an issue," Reid added. "Should anyone who comes to the IRS get that special dispensation? No. Should they investigate? Yes. The way they did it was a bureaucratic ineptitude."
"Joy, this is not about bureaucratic ineptitude," Christie disagreed, "this is about a culture within the Obama administration…"
"Wait a minute," Reid said as she interrupted the guest. "The IRS is not the Obama administration!"
Christie replied: "That is a flat-out lie! The IRS commissioner is a political appointee by the president."
After the Republican repeated that sentence several times, Reid went for the jugular when she asked who had appointed the IRS commissioner who oversaw the "culture" that Christie decried.
At that point, Bashir jumped into the argument. "Ron, I accept your assertion. Joy is asking you very politely to answer that question. 'Who appointed the head of the IRS?'"
Christie asnwered that it was Doug Shulman, who was appointed by Presdient Bush to serve as commissioner of internal revenue from March 24, 2008, until his term expired on Nov. 9, 2012.
At that time, President Obama chose Steven Miller to serve in that capacity until the end of his term, which was slated to conclude in June.
"Who appointed Mr. Shulman?" Bashir asked yet again.
"Mr. Shulman was appointed in the previous administration," Christie said before continuing that the IRS is not independent since the president was able to fire Miller -- or demand his resignation -- at any time.
Of course, this isn't the first time a Democrat laid the blame for a current problem at the feet of a president who has not been in the Oval Office for five years.
When Arianna Huffington was a guest on ABC This Week in June of 2010, she claimed that any problems Obama was having while dealing with the gulf oil leak was caused by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
Right now, we have precisely the regulatory system that the Bush-Cheney administration wanted. Full of loopholes, full of cronies and lobbyists filling the very agencies they're supposed to be overseeing the industry.
At that point, conservative columnist and regular panelist on the Sunday morning program George Will asked: "So, it's Bush's fault? Just clear this up."
"It is absolutely a thousand percent Bush-Cheney's fault," Huffington replied.
And in March of 2011, a study showed that the mainstream media linked Bush to "skyrocketing" gas prices 15 more times than when the same thing happened when Obama was in the White House.
Sadly, the liberal news networks can't have it both ways. If George W. Bush is to blame for appointing an inadequate person to lead the IRS nearly a decade ago, then Bush should also receive the praise for the tracking down and killing of Osama bin Laden since the Republican president laid the groundwork which Mr. Obama inherited and kept largely intact.

Computer calendar system installed at Humboldt County Superior Court
EUREKA- If you have been to Humboldt County Superior Court today or yesterday, you may have noticed a change in the court calendar system on the walls.
The Orange County Superior Court gave $70,000 worth of all-in-one computers to the Humboldt County Superior Court after updating their equipment. The more than 20 computers are now on walls throughout the Humboldt County Superior Court and the information in them is updated every 30 minutes. The computers were put up over the weekend. Court officials say the old system of using paper for court calendars took up more staff time than the electronic calendar system because staff would have to print calendars from the case management system, copy them, and post them daily. The new system will also save paper, but there are more reasons court officials say the electronic calendar system is an improvement.
"And to also provide the public with more current information about the calendars. Sometimes cases get moved between courtrooms. Sometimes dates get changed and this way they're a little bit more current than printing a calendar in the morning and posting it," said Kerri Keenan, the Court Executive Officer of Humboldt County Superior Court.
