Carnival exceeded our expectations: Carnival Pride Cruise Review by lsnyder
Overall Member Rating
Carnival exceeded our expectations
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Baltimore
Carnival is truly a fun ship - our cruise directors Josh and Ben were fantastic. It was fun watching them enjoy themselves while they were working! I have never witnessed this on any other cruise (Royal Caribbean and Norwegian - to be fair our previous cruises were 6-8 years ago so maybe that's different now). Our ship was at full capacity and there must have been 800 kids on board (lots of extended families which was nice to see - our teens opted to stay home!)
Service on the ship was excellent - servers, cabin stewards, bartenders, towel staff...hard working and always with a smile! More
Food in general was very good in both the main dining room ( I missed the ambience - it was way too bright and noisy- felt like a diner IMO. We did anytime dining and never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes for a table for the 2 of us) and the Mermaid Grill - however vegetables/salads and other more "modern" healthful options were lacking in my opinion -I would have liked mixed greens (not just iceberg/romaine) and more variety of veggies (they served A LOT of broccoli salads). Based on people's loaded plates/appetites - for fries, breads, burgers, pizzas ( the pizza was delicious with a glass of Prosecco!) and other starches and desserts at all hours, I don't think there is a huge demand for "healthy" options.
That being said -the gym was usually packed! Maybe because we had so many sea days??...I did take a spin class (pretty awful bikes...the instructor was a ton of fun which made the bikes tolerable...supposedly they are getting new ones with the upcoming dry dock) and yoga on the beach at HMC - basic beginner yoga (many had never tried it) - but the instructor stayed after the class to continue on with more advanced poses which I thought was really nice - given that it was his day off on the beach afterward.
The Spa was very nice - I had a seaweed treatment with full massage (excellent) - expensive but that's just how it is. The bar drinks were excellent - fun menus - great martinis and certainly not over the top prices.
We dined at the Steakhouse - great ambience and relaxed dining - very good food but I wouldn't say it was spectacular food. We also did the Chef's table dining (read about it on Cruise Critic) - terrific experience! I don't know if other cruise lines do this but we really enjoyed it and felt the surcharge was more than reasonable considering it included champagne and wine with dinner. Taste was neat to stop by and grab a "taste" before the early show to hold us over until dinner.
Shows were decent but I did tire of just hearing the 2 main singers, song after song/night after night...the costumes were beautiful. We really enjoyed the comedians (saw all 4 of them - they change mid-cruise).
Spent a rainy hour in the Casino but can't stand the smell of smoke so the rest of the time we avoided it at all costs.
THANK GOD for the Serenity area- a definite MUST on a summer cruise for those without children...wish they'd pipe in a little music back there though...bar service was terrific out there - hard to get loungers but we always managed to get something and even scored the hammock one afternoon - woo woo! Pool is tiny and kind of grossed my husband out - at least there weren't kids running around. Wish the Serenity area was double the size! The black soot out there was pretty bad at times...I felt like it was always on the decks or the cushions. Perhaps this will get fixed at dry dock...seems like it would be violating some kind of emissions rule...I don't recall that being an issue on any other (newer) ship we've been on.
Décor is not to my taste but well done and the ship was immaculate everywhere we went. I would definitely sail Carnival again - although I would like more dining options (smaller, restaurant style) for dinners. Less

Cabin review: 6255
We were on the end so the ship jutted out on one side which obscured our view and because of the placement of the bed, I couldn't see the ocean from the bed...I wouldn't get an extended balcony again.

More than 50 since years after Italian dining came to British shores, top chef Gennaro Contaldo reveals how our knowledge and approach to his country's cuisine has changed dramatically.
By Diana Pilkington.
Half a century since a wave of Italian immigrants set up the first trattorias across the UK, Britain's love affair with this cuisine shows no sign of stopping.
But our understanding and appreciation of Italian food has changed dramatically over the years.
Celebrity chef Gennaro Contaldo, who first came to Britain in the late Sixties, says: "At the beginning, a lot of immigrants came to England but there were very few chefs. But because almost every Italian can sing and can cook, they used to open a little restaurant.
"They wouldn't necessarily cook something very Italian. They would cook what we call 'Britalian' food, something between British and Italian."
In fact, many of the dishes that we consider typically Italian today are actually an adaptation and not entirely authentic.
"The spaghetti bolognese in England nearly gave me a heart attack!" says Contaldo.
"It was full of mushrooms, peppers, some different vegetables and perhaps bits and pieces of meat.
"But the original dish, ragu bolognese, is made with tagliatelle and is so simple. You just use carrots and onion, and then pork and beef in equal parts."
Though 'Britalian' cuisine can still be found in thousands of restaurants, more authentic Italian food is far easier to find these days. Contaldo is an ambassador for the Bertolli Spread Olive D'Oro Awards, which have been searching for the UK's top Italian delis and trattorias.
The winners were announced on June 20, and include eateries across Britain, from Cardiff to Cambridge (for the full list visit www.bertolli.co.uk).
With traditional delis now a common sight on many British high streets, it is easier than ever to source the right ingredients to make simple, authentic Italian food at home.
"I remember when you wanted olive oil, the only place you could buy it was in a chemist. It was rubbish," Contaldo says.
"Today all these ingredients, you can usually find somewhere local."
Contaldo has created some recipes to reflect modern Italian dining in Britain today. Try these for size...
(For all of these recipes, Bertolli Spread can be substituted with any quality olive oil-based spread) Risotto alle fragole (strawberry risotto) (Serves 4) 70g Bertolli Spread 2 small shallots, finely chopped 250g arborio rice 500g strawberries, hulled (half quantity quartered and the rest roughly chopped) ½ glass white wine 1-litre vegetable stock, kept hot 50g parmesan cheese, freshly grated, and extra to serve Salt to taste Heat 30g of the Bertolli Spread in a saucepan, add the shallots and sweat on a medium heat. Stir in the rice, coating each grain. Stir in the white wine and simmer until evaporated. Add a ladleful of stock, stir and simmer for a minute, then stir in the roughly chopped strawberries. Gradually add the remaining stock, stirring all the time between additions. When the rice becomes al dente, remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 40g of Bertolli Spread and grated parmesan. Add salt to taste if desired. Leave to rest for a minute, then top with the quartered strawberries and some more grated parmesan, if desired, and serve.
Porri con pancetta (leeks with bacon) (Serves 4) 60g Bertolli Spread 100g pancetta or bacon, finely chopped 1.2kg leeks, finely sliced 120ml hot vegetable stock Salt & pepper to taste Melt the Bertolli spread in a frying pan, add the pancetta or bacon and stir-fry on a medium heat until crispy. Stir in the leeks, season with salt and pepper and stir fry for a couple of minutes. Add the vegetable stock, lower the heat, cover with a lid and simmer gently for 10 minutes until the leeks are soft.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Pollo arrosto con burro bertolli all'aglio ed erbe (roast chicken with a bertolli spread, garlic and herb paste) (Serves 4) Small head of unpeeled garlic 5 large sage leaves, finely chopped 2 sprigs of rosemary needles, finely chopped Handful of mint, finely chopped Handful of marjoram leaves, finely chopped Juice of 1 lemon (keep the lemon halves) 1 large lemon, cut in half 100g Bertolli Spread Salt & pepper 1 chicken, weighing approx. 1.5kg ½ glass of white wine 1 glass of vegetable stock 4 carrots, cut lengthways in half Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in a hot oven for about 15 minutes until soft. With the help of a tea towel, remove the skins while still warm. Place the Bertolli Spread and garlic in a small bowl together with the chopped herbs, lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper. Mix together well until you obtain a smooth paste.
Take the chicken and carefully ease the skin away from the breasts, taking care not to tear it, but don't remove completely. With your fingers, spread the paste evenly all over the breast under the skin. Fill the cavity of the chicken with the lemon halves.
Line the bottom of the roasting tin with the carrots, arranging them in two lines like a railway track. Place the chicken on top of the carrots - this is done to prevent the bird from sticking to the tin. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil, rubbing well all over. Pour in the wine and stock.
Cover with aluminium foil and roast in the hot oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes until the chicken has thoroughly cooked through. Remove the foil 20 minutes before the end of cooking time. Remove from the oven, leave to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Torta paradiso (italian sponge cake with creamy filling) (Serves 6 - 8) To make the sponge: 4 eggs, separated 200g Bertolli Spread, extra for greasing 200g sugar 150g plain flour 50g cornflour 1tspn baking powder 1 sachet of vanilla powder Pinch of salt Zest of 1 lemon Sifted icing sugar 1 round cake tin 22cm in diameter - lightly greased and lined with baking parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff and set aside. In another bowl, whisk the yolks until well amalgamated. In a larger bowl, cream together the Bertolli Spread and sugar, then gradually add the yolks. Gradually fold in the flour, cornflour, baking powder, vanilla powder, salt and lemon zest. Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the mixture with a metal spoon until well combined.
Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes until golden and springy to the touch. You can check if it is cooked by inserting a wooden skewer in the centre; if it comes out dry the cake is ready. Remove, tip out onto a wire rack to cool, then with a sharp knife carefully cut horizontally into two layers.
To make the creamy filling (makes approximately 300g): 50ml water 150g sugar 6 organic free-range egg yolks (make sure they are very fresh!) 175g Bertolli Spread Seeds of 1 vanilla pod or 1 sachet of vanilla powder Combine the water and sugar in a small pan and place on a low heat, stirring from time to time until the sugar has dissolved and you obtain a syrupy consistency.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and gradually add the syrup. Leave the mixture to cool. Then add the Bertolli Spread and vanilla seeds or powder, and continue to whisk until you obtain a creamy consistency. Place in the fridge to use when required.
Spread the creamy filling over the cooled cake layers and sandwich together. Sprinkle with lots of sifted icing sugar and serve.
Tip: For a really tasty filling, mix some strawberry or raspberry jam into the creamy mix. For a lighter cake, the sponge can be eaten without the filling.

I finally did it!! Late last night, I ditched my circa-2009 WordPress theme and the logo that I had slapped together during another late night session, and replaced them both with a snazzier, cleaner new version of…everything! I hope you like the new logo and the airy new layout. It should be simpler, faster, and work better on more devices (hello, dear mobile readers, I love you too!).
I've still got a few tweaks to make here and there, but it's finally on its feet and I'm super-duper excited.
Also exciting, I've dropped Feedburner (what's that, circa-2005?), and replaced it with Mad Mimi for sending out new post notifications. I've copied over the email list, so hopefully everything goes smoothly with that, too.*
And now, an even more important announcement (drumroll please)…
October Unprocessed is back, now in its fifth year!
As you probably know, each year I lead October Unprocessed, challenging people to eat no processed food for the entire month.**
I took the first challenge with my friends Dana and Lindsey, back in 2009 before I started blogging. Since then, I've led the challenge here, while sharing guest posts from other bloggers, authors, and experts on a range of "unprocessed" topics throughout the month. It's been a life-changing experience for me and for so many people who have decided to take the leap and participate.
I've set up a separate page for the challenge, which includes how I define "unprocessed" and the pledge itself. If you haven't done so already, please jump over to that page, find out what it's all about, and take the pledge!
* If you run into any issues with the new site design or emails or whatever, please let me know. Thanks!
** I encourage everyone to participate at a level that's comfortable for them, so if a month is too much of a commitment, that's okay. Read more on the main page.

By Rob Nikolewski | Capitol Report New Mexico
SANTA FE — The good news for New Mexico taxpayers and lawmakers shaping the state's budget?
The December estimate of revenue came out Monday and has been revised upward from August by $55 million, with $210 million in "new money."
The bad news? We've got 28 days and counting for Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C., to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff". If they don't, budgeting for New Mexico is basically anyone's guess.
"Businesses have already begun scaling back investment, perhaps in anticipation of tax increase and spending cuts embodied in the 'fiscal cliff,'" Department of Finance Administration Secretary Tom Cliffordsaid in a report to the Legislative Finance Committee. "If the cliff is not addressed, (Gross Domestic Product) growth could fall by as much as 3.5 percent, effectively ending the economic recovery."
"It's a major concern," committee co-chairman Luciano "Lucky" Varela, D-Santa Fe, told Capitol Report New Mexico. "So in (the upcoming state) budget, we have taken some cautious recommendations in terms of federal funding."

Seed commissioner: Keep durum sales legal
Due to renewed interest in planting durum wheat, state seed officials are concerned that a high demand for the grain may drive some producers to buy and sell durum illegally.
Since the production of commercial durum has fallen in the state, there has been a parallel reduction in durum seed production, said Ken Bertsch, North Dakota State Seed Department commissioner. Additionally, new loan rates, announced earlier this month, have driven higher interest in planting durum.
"There's always a concern -- and it's not just North Dakota, it can be any state -- with enforcement issues with seed laws, there's nothing magical about that, there's always a concern every year, that's why we have a regulatory program," Bertsch said. "When it becomes more critical is in a situation like this, where all of the sudden a potential shortage is touched on."
Most durum varieties planted today are protected by Plant Variety Protection Title V, which states the variety may be sold only as a class of certified seed, Bertsch said.
"Brown bagging", or illegally selling seed, bypasses the legal process of seed sales and payment of royalties or research fees by the variety owners. Violators of PVP seed law can be fined to $5,000 per sale, Bertsch said.
While certified seed may become a little bit harder to come by, Bertsch believes there should be an adequate supply of durum seed available.
Tracy Schumacher, a seed producer near Scranton, said he's aware of some illegal durum sales in his area, and has notified the State Seed Department.
"Of course they have to do an investigation and everything, but it seems to be a dead-end street," Schumacher said, adding it can be frustrating.
Schumacher said many producers will notify him early, in February and March when they need seed.
"About two weeks ago I had everything spoken for," he said.
If someone has produced legal durum seed on their farm they can replant it legally, Bertsch said.
"That's perfectly legal. Where we run into a problem is, you can't sell protected varieties farmer-to-farmer," he said.
In certain situations, temptation becomes great, he added.
"If farmer A sells it to him, he's guilty of violating seed laws. If farmer B buys it, he's guilty. If a third party conditions it, he can also be drawn in," Bertsch said.
North Dakota seed laws require that seed sold in North Dakota be labeled with specific information regarding the variety and quality of the seed in the container. Proper labeling is required for all seed, whether it is a protected variety or not.
"Illegal seed sales are detrimental to the entire seed industry," said Steve Sebesta, deputy seed commissioner. "The Seed Department monitors seed sale activities, including advertisements placed in state newspapers and trade magazines. Regulatory inspectors are in the field investigating activities related to illegal seed transactions and will actively pursue violations throughout the year."

Crossrail 2 would show that Britain is "open for business" said more than 50 cross-party MPs who have called on the Government to back the rail project.
The 59 MPs have today delivered a letter to the Chancellor Phillip Hammond and transport secretary Chris Grayling, urging them to support the new rail lines that would directly connect south-west London and north Surrey to the heart of London.
MPs from the region, including Stephen Hammond, Dr Tania Mathias, James Berry, Dominic Raab, Clive Efford, Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, Sarah Olney, Tom Brake, Steve Reed, Paul Scully, Crispin Blunt, Siobhain McDonagh, Bob Neill and Chris Philp were among the signatories.
The letter outlined the proposed benefits of connecting National Rail networks in Surrey and Hertfordshire with an underground tunnel in central London between Wimbledon and Tottenham Hale and New Southgate.
According to the letter, the project will: "Give the whole nation a £150bn economic boost, supporting 200,000 new jobs, as well as 18,000 jobs and apprenticeships directly and 60,000 jobs through its supply chain nationwide during construction."
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: "The government cannot ignore the growing national demand for it to back Crossrail 2. The fact that more than 50 MPs from across the country have crossed political lines to join together shows just how important the project is for the whole nation.
"It is essential for the UK economy, for jobs, for the housing market, for our transport network and sends a real message to the world that Britain is open for business. We've shown how London can pay directly for half of the cost; it's time the government gave its unwavering support so the UK can benefit."
It is suggested construction could begin in the early 2020s and the railway could be operational by 2033.
According to Lloyds Bank, houses close to the Crossrail 1 route, named the Elizabeth line and which begins to operate in 2018, rose in value by an average of 22 per cent between 2014 and 2016, compared to an average growth of 14 per cent for surrounding local authority areas and a 13 per cent rise for Greater London.
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "We have received the Strategic Outline Business Case from Transport for London. This needs to be carefully considered to ensure it is robust and includes a fair, sustainable and deliverable funding plan."

I think this is something simple, but I'd like to know the rules. I am not confident I know what I'm doing, but when writing I'm never sure when to start a new paragraph. What exactly should be in a paragraph?
-Actually Don't Write That Much
Formerly, I didn't write that much, either. Letter writing and its odious companions, Keeping Enough Stationery and Keeping Enough Stamps, somehow kept me stymied. This meant as years passed friends from other places tired of my selfishly rare responses. They followed my lead and didn't write back.
[ATA (According to Anne) – Don't confuse stationary, an adjective meaning to remain in fixed position or one place, and stationery, a noun meaning paper for writing letters. Possible mnemonic help: ary – think "always there."]
I had had stellar letter writing modeled for me. My mother and father were both avid correspondents. Day after day when I checked the campus post office I had a letter. My dad's were short and to the point. A summary of pet news. What better? My mother tended to give tumor reports about hometown citizens. A bit of a downer, but it's the thought that counts, right? She also offered advice. Not that I ever asked for any, a policy I've maintained unwaveringly to the present. My grandson can just hang it up with his clothing advice.
The Age of the Personal Computer, luckily arriving before I had too much age myself, unleashed e-mail upon an unsuspecting world. [Dr. & Mrs. B.B., did you catch that myself ? Some time ago, Dr. B.B. pointed out the misuse of myself that's rampant around here. The error consists of replacing an ordinary pronoun (like I, me) with the intensive or reflexive pronoun (like myself). It's usually first person, singular. The error then reads like this (DON'T DO THIS – INCORRECT! ) John and myself think you need to get a new hobby.]
E-mail reconnected me with written correspondence between family and friends. Often great, and only a few finger thumps away with a screen that can be edited without any white liquid involved, something for which I would have given my eye teeth back in the old manual typewriter days.
So, perhaps I should wander a bit nearer to today's question, and perhaps I should consider answering. Aye, there's the rub. (Shakespeare, Hamlet, from the famous "To be, or not to be…"soliloquy.) Presumptuous of me to quote Shakespeare in amidst my blathering, but, hey, that's what he's for – everyday life.

Friday will be Lebanon Mayor Don Fox's last day in office and he says there are a lot of good memories and some things he will really miss about serving in the city's highest office.
"The best day would have to be the afternoon we finished the playground at the park," Fox said in an interview Tuesday. "We had 350 kids in the playground and we were still working on the trails. We didn't have any shelters yet and the bathrooms weren't finished."
He explained that 1,400 Lebanon citizens had built the playground in what came to known as Don Fox Community Park in seven days. "That's what happens when this community comes together," he added.

MT. JULIET -- A Wilson County commissioner who reportedly used a state website to access background information on private citizens may be facing an inquisition by his own commission, of which one member thinks the violation of privacy should be investigated.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation recently conducted an audit of a program known as the Criminal Justice Portal at the Smyrna Airport police department at the request of Mt. Juliet Police Chief Andy Garrett. Garrett had received a copy of an email sent by Mt. Juliet Storm Water Coordinator Gary Gaskin to Mt. Juliet Human Resources Director Jill Johnson in December 2007.
In that email, obtained by The Chronicle of Mt. Juliet, Gaskin expressed his "deep concern about the arbitrary availability of information" from his file to the "public."
"I am terribly troubled about how these matters are being dealt with and what the City of Mt. Juliet is doing to protect me from these invasions into my personal life," Gaskin wrote on Dec. 11, 2007. "All outward appearances suggest that some information has already been compromised."

In a span of two weeks, Pitt swingman Cameron Wright has gone from riding the bench to coming through in the clutch.
Not once, but twice.
After scoring the go-ahead points in the victory over Syracuse on Saturday, Wright responded with another strong second-half performance to propel the No. 23 Panthers past Seton Hall, 56-46, on Monday in a Big East Conference game at Petersen Events Center.
"Every day, day in and day out, I just try to bring a lot of energy to the table," said Wright, who finished with eight points in 15 minutes. "When I get an opportunity to score, my teammates do a great job of getting me the ball when I'm open, and I just try to finish for those guys."
Wright, who didn't play Jan. 22 at Providence, came off the bench to provide several big plays for the second consecutive game. He sandwiched four free throws around a basket in the final 6:42 as Pitt turned a 42-41 lead into a five-point edge.
It was the second consecutive victory and sixth in seven games for Pitt (19-5, 7-4), which returned to the national rankings Monday after its 65-55 win over then-No. 6 Syracuse.
The Panthers shot a season-low 34.8 percent from the field (16 of 46) despite making 5-of-12 3-pointers, but it was still better than Seton Hall's 33.3 percent (14 of 42).
"It's not often that you shoot a higher percentage from the three than you do inside the field," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said.
That came by design, Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said, as the Pirates wanted the Panthers to launch 20 shots from beyond the arc. But Pitt's dribble penetration opened the lane for layups. Even so, the Panthers scored only 12 points in the paint.
Yet Pitt dominated the rebounding, 40-28, as Steven Adams (eight points) grabbed a career-high 15, and Lamar Patterson had his fourth career double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
"It sounds stupid, but we were trying to make them shoot 3s," Willard said. "It's the direct opposite of what I try to do defensively, but they have such size advantage over people."
Seton Hall (13-10, 2-8), which has lost eight of its past nine games, played without Aaron Cosby, who left the team for personal reasons. The Pirates' 46 points were the lowest in the 53-game series against Pitt and marked the third time this season the Panthers held a Big East opponent to fewer than 50 points (Georgetown had 45 and Villanova 43).
Pitt, however, could not stop Seton Hall's Fuquan Edwin. The 6-foot-6 junior had a game-high 23 points on 7-of-16 shooting and 6-of-10 free throws to account for half of the Pirates' scoring.
Pitt was leading, 40-39, with 7:40 remaining when Wright missed two free throws. Edwin turned his right ankle after the second miss, and he hobbled off the court with assistance. During his absence, Pitt got a thunderous dunk from Adams, who was called for a technical foul.
Kyle Smyth made both free throws to cut it to one. That's when Wright, a 6-foot-4 redshirt sophomore from Cleveland, made two free throws. Edwin returned but missed the front end of a one-and-one with 6:30 left, and freshman Tom Maayan did the same at the 3:35 mark.
"I really thought the game changed when we missed the two one-and-ones, more than anything," Willard said.
From the right wing, Patterson found a cutting Wright on the left block below the basket for an uncontested layup and a 44-41 lead. Then, with 4:51 remaining, Wright made two more free throws for a 48-41 edge.
Seton Hall never got any closer.
"We did it with rebounding, and we did it with defense," Dixon said, "and that's what we wanted to do."

After a successful series win against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Boston Red Sox will play the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series.
On the line, the AL pennant and a trip to the World Series.
This is the first time since 2008 that the Red Sox have advanced in the playoffs while the Tigers are the defending AL champions.
Before the Sox and Tigers tangle, let us look at some things the Red Sox did well against Tampa along with things they did not and things they botched.
–The backend of the bullpen was fantastic. In nine innings, the combination of Craig Breslow, Junichi Tazawa and Koji Uehara allowed a single run, Jose Lobaton's game-winning home run off Uehara in Game 3.
The Sox ability to lock down games in the ALDS gave manager John Farrell confidence that he could trust his pen. GOOD
–Jacoby Ellsbury did his best Rickey Henderson impression against the Rays.
Tampa pitchers could not keep him off base as Ellsbury had an on-base percentage of .529. He also hit .500, stole four bases and scored seven runs.
If he can do that against the Tigers, Fenway will see another World Series. GOOD
–Farrell came into the postseason unproven on the big stage. He also faced off against one of the most aggressive managers of the game in Joe Maddon.
Farrell proved he could be aggressive as well.
Whether he knew when to steal bases or to pull a pitcher, Farrell played the correct hunches. Boston swiped six bags and Breslow gave Farrell dominance in the sixth and seventh. GOOD
–As crucial as Dustin Pedroia's ability to turn double plays in the crunch time of Game 2, his cutting off Stephen Drew on the shortstop side of second base in Tampa hurt the team and himself.
Drew and Pedroia tangled in Game 3 on a grounder that saw Pedroia hurt his neck and the Sox end up getting no one out. He did it again in Game 4 and turned a sure out at first into a single.
Pedroia plays with an intensity similar to Pete Rose, but he has to channel that and let his teammates do their job.
With Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder in the Tiger lineup, those mistakes can magnify in a hurry. BAD
–Clay Buchholz pitched nervous in his lone start.
His pitches showed little movement and did not have the 94-95 mph velocity he has.
Perhaps taking the ball Sunday at Fenway in Game 2 will settle him.
Buchholz did not pitch poorly, three earned runs over six innings, but he did not look right either. BAD
–Red Sox hitters whiffed 33 times in four games.
There is nothing good that comes out of a strikeout. They do not move runners. They do not score runs.
Now the Sox face a pitching staff that features three starters that fanned over 200 batters this year.
They must show patience against Anibal Sanchez, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. They have to draw that pitch count as high as they can. If the series goes the distance, Boston will see this group six out of seven games.
You cannot give nearly nine nonproductive outs away a game. UGLY

text: Latin AmericaArrests made in Brazil over tourist gang rape Assault of tourists aboard public minivan comes as police step up efforts ahead of next year's World Cup. 02 Apr 2013 12:20 GMT | Latin America, Brazil, India Authorities in Rio de Janeiro have sought to reduce violence ahead of the 2014 World Cup [AFP]Three men have been arrested for allegedly raping and robbing a foreign tourist on a minibus in Rio de Janeiro, according to police. The woman was raped repeatedly over a six hour period in the minibus on Saturday morning, while her boyfriend was handcuffed and badly beaten. "We got information about some of the places [the suspects] had been, based on bank receipts and transactions that they made," police deputy Alexandre Braga said of the arrests. "They would alternate driving the vehicle, two would commit rape in the back of the van and the violence against the boyfriend of the victim," Brand said on Monday. According to a police statement, the two victims were attacked as they rode public transportation in a seaside neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. The statement said assailants forced other passengers out of a shared van and then sexually assaulted the foreign woman inside the vehicle before driving her and her male companion to the poor suburban neighbourhood of Sao Goncalo. The victims' nationalities have not been released, but local media reports have said the woman is American. 'It wasn't me' One of the suspects was the driver of the mini bus and two of the men deny the charges. "It wasn't me. I didn't do it. It was someone else, you know," said Wallace Aparecido de Souza Silva, one of the arrested men. The incident raises concerns about security in Rio, which has cracked down on drug violence in preparation for hosting next year's soccer World Cup and the 2016 summer Olympic Games. The city will host World Youth Day, a Roman Catholic pilgrimage expected to draw some 2 million people in late July. The attack also resembled a deadly gang rape of a 23-year-old woman in New Delhi last December. That incident sparked a wave of protests across India demanding more protection for women. In Brazil, more than 5,300 cases of sexual assault were reported between January and June 2012, according to the country's Health Ministry.Source: Agencies

June 30 to July 4 2011 - Amsterdam
We arrived at Stansted Airport on Thursday not knowing what to expect; our long-held booking now clashed with a National Strike in the UK. As it turned out, the whole trip to Amsterdam was one of the easiest we've had in years - no queues, 40-minute flight and a simple transfer to the Apollofirst Hotel with the Connexxion shuttle. The hotel is in the Museum Quarter and right outside along the Apollolaan boulevard was the Artzuid sculpture exhibition which included works by Dali, Arp, Miro and dozens of other artists
On Friday afternoon we were joined by old friends Bert and Marina from Duisberg in Germany and together we walked many, many kilometres around the canals in the Jordaan. A place not to be missed is the Beginjhof, a very large, courtyard sanctuary dating from the 14thC in the Spui area
On Sunday morning, we headed to the Plantage Quarter to the visit the De Hortus botanical gardens; founded in 1638, it is one of the oldest in the world
And on Sunday afternoon, we walked back to the Leidseplein area and took a canal trip on a restored 1920s "iron-boat" that has been restored by the St Nicolaas Boat Club - if you dislike the large boats with the constant commentary, this is the boat for you (10 euros "donation")
A few days ago we found out that Kevin Patterson was going to be flying in late Sunday evening from London for a conference, so we headed over to the Prinsengracht at 9:30pm for a quick drink at his hotel
Unfortunately the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk museum are undergoing long-term renovations and have much-reduced displays (for the same price of course) so we decided to visit them another year, preferring to spend Monday morning in the Van Gogh museum (14 euros) - we booked the tickets online (you need to print out the tickets) and this allows you to skip past the queue. Was it worth the $18 entrance fee? Yes but it's quite difficult to decide which sites to visit in Amsterdam as the "big" places are 10 to 14 euros to get in and even the lesser-known places are rarely less than 6 or 8 euros
We travelled around Amsterdam with a 4-day travel card (19.50 euros from the small and hidden tourist office at the Stadsschouwburg at the Leidseplein) which is valid on the trams, buses and metro. It's pretty good value as a single trip costs 2.60 euros and the tram system is fantastic

Curse you rainy winter weather! Can you believe I only managed to get one picture of this cocktail? And not one beautiful picture at that – one picture of the top of a glass taken on the table outside that's covered in rain drops. Not because I'm lazy! I made a lovely set up on a fancy Christmas box with a pine cone and fluffy stocking in the background but the weather was just not agreeing with my camera. No matter which angle I adopted every single picture came out dull, dark and blurry. This was the only usable one.
So you'll have to trust me on this and believe me when I say that this cocktail tastes great and looks fabulous! The drink itself is colored red and the green of the limes and mint leaves make it perfect to serve during the festive season.
- 2 oz cranberry liqueur
- 2 oz white rum
- 1/2 lime
- 5 leaves mint
- 5 leaves basil
- 5 cranberries
- soda water
- ice
- Place the mint and basil leaves in the bottom of the glass and bash with a spoon.
- Drop a couple of ice cubes into the glass and pour over the cranberry liqueur and rum.
- Top the glass with soda water and add the cranberries.
Here are the link parties I link up to.

Paula Abdul Joins 'The X Factor' Judges Panel
Facebook.com – Become a Fan! Twitter.com – Follow Us! The newest judge to join the panel for The X Factor just got announced. We've got the deets right now. Hello everyone! You're back at the ClevverTV headquarters. I'm your host Dana Ward in Hollywood with an update for The X Factor. Of course, we've all been kept anxiously awaiting any sort of detail about the show — especially when it comes to the judging panel. The show's producer, Simon Cowell, finally signed off on officially announcing that Paula Abdul will be on the competition show. It had been rumored for quite a while that Paula would join in on the judging activities with LA Reid and Cheryl Cole, but now that it's out in the open, she said QUOTE 'I couldn't be happier to bring my love for cultivating talent and performance to such a wildly anticipated show. I know that it will be an extraordinary journey. I'm also delighted and grateful to be sitting next to Simon again…' joking that we might want to check-in with her about that one in a few weeks. It's no secret that these two — Paula and Simon — definitely had a unique love-hate relationship on American Idol, so how do you think their relationship will go on The X Factor, and how will the other 2 judges fit into the mix? Let us know your best guess by leaving a comment below and be sure to follow us at twitter.com/clevvertv so you can get all of the deets about this new singing competition show. I'm Dana Ward and we'll see ya later, bye!

Being Prepared To Handle Martial Law (Videos)
By N. Morgan
Friday, August 9, 2013
Hurricane Katrina, the Boston Marathon Bombing and Arkansas have already been under Martial Law. I believe these situations were tests to see if and how long it would take the police to get the community under complete control and disarmed. Being prepared for this intense time will be essential to you and your family's survival.
The following guide will help you plan, prepare, and get ready in the event that martial law threatens you safety and well being. It is divided into two parts. The first part describes the framework for martial law and the second part the actions to take in preparing for the actual declaration of martial law.
Martial law is defined as: military rule or authority imposed on a civilian population when the civil authorities cannot maintain law and order, as in a time of war or during an emergency.
Hitler turned Germany into a Nazi dictatorship through executive orders.
Executive Order 10995: All communications media are to be seized by the Federal Government. Radio, TV, newspapers, CB, Ham, telephones, and the internet will be under federal control. Hence, the First Amendment will be suspended indefinitely.

Our Fall educational meeting/dinner was held on 22 October at University of Colorado Stadium Club. The topic was a contemporary discussion on pharmaceutical water systems by Ben Roczniak of Mar Cor Purification. The dinner and social hour was great with more than 25 different companies in attendance, and the new location was very positively received. Emily Stump (BioMarc) did an outstanding job in the committee lead position and Mike Dina (Kenny Electric), Pat Cunneen (MKS), and Sara Kihn were also strong contributors for the event planning and preparation.
Upcoming winter events currently being planned include:

San Francisco/Bay Area Chapter
By Chapter President Linda Karr with Contributions from Manager Kimberly Syre and the Board
Pyramid Ale House in Berkeley was the site of the 2010 programs planning session for the San Francisco/Bay Area chapter directors and committee members on 1 October. A roundtable format was used to facilitate brainstorming along with an assortment of appetizers and craft brews for nourishment. Once we got going, the ideas were free-flowing and captured for future use by the Programs Committee, led by Simon Forder, and the Commuter Conference Committee, led by David Bendet. We are looking forward to some excellent programs in the coming year, and we will also be experimenting with some different formats and venues.
The usual October dinner meeting was replaced this year with a social/networking event – Oktoberfest! This was held on 22 October at Gordon Biersch Brewery in San Francisco and provided a great opportunity for networking among our colleagues in the BioPharm industry. The latest industry and economic news was discussed in lively groups. In addition to networking, an employment drive was held at the event where potential employees and employers got a chance to exchange information. A few house-made German-style brews were consumed along the way.
A very special commuter conference was held at Amgen in Fremont, CA on 3 November. Not only did we include a free plant tour of their 100,000 sq. ft. protein manufacturing plant, but the event was coordinated so that nineteen Japanese delegates on their way to the Annual Meeting in San Diego could attend. The event began with a discussion on Nutraceutical and Cosmeceutical production, research, and development. These two important categories of the Life Sciences industry have a combined $18B sales in the US market with a projected 7.5% annual growth. Local experts Alex Huang, President of MetaActiv Corporation and David O'Connell of DC Engineering were the featured speakers. In addition, the SF Chapter hosted the Japanese delegates on private tours of Genentech led by Kelly Keen and Bayer HealthCare Berkeley led by Edda Mihaescu later that same week.
All this was just a prelude to the main event, the ISPE Annual Meeting in San Diego. Almost the entire Board of Directors, with only two exceptions, was able to attend the conference. In addition, all seven active past-presidents attended. We connected with our new Japanese friends and also reunited with former colleagues. A great time was had by all, not only at the educational sessions but at some exciting sailing and golf outings, too. We are all looking forward to hosting the Annual Meeting here in San Francisco in 2012!

Brazil Affiliate
Written by the Brazil Affiliate Operations Manager Ana Lúcia Valente Dória Fernandes
The Brazil Affiliate held well-attended October events. The first was titled "Pharmaceutical Water Systems: Harmonization of Standards, Trends and Validation Maintenance" had 50 attendees, and the second, "Air Conditioning - How to Reduce Costs with Quality," had 30 participants.
In November, the seminar "VSC – FDA 21 CFR Part 11 e CP3 ANVISA" showed the importance that the subject has within the pharmaceutical industry. The 30 participants, through their evaluation forms, made it clear that the event updated their knowledge, making them able to deal more safely with the subjects of that matter in everyday life.
Finalizing the activities of 2009, during the conference dinner of the Affiliate, which took place on 30 November, top honors were given during the ISPE Brazil Awards, which included highlights of 2009.
The Brazil Members and the industries that stood out and helped grow the Affiliate were considered. The award categories were:
Member of the Year – For effective contributions in carrying out the events, technical articles,
attendance at meetings and indications of new members featuring precious volunteer work. Ms. Silvia Regina da
Silva Martins, Eurotherm, has been honored in this category.
Industry of the Year – Through involvement of its employees, by participation in meetings, working groups, and events as speakers of the Affiliate contributing to the development of life sciences industries in Brazil, the company Boehringer Ingelheim do Brasil received this award. It was accepted by Mr. José Floriano Zoppetti, Engineering Manager.
The Brazil Affiliate's events calendar for 2010 is being prepared and interested parties are encouraged to go to ISPE's Web site at www.ISPE.org to check for upcoming events on the Global Calendar.

Boston Area Chapter
Written by the Boston Area Chapter Board of Directors
As the leaves turned from green to yellow and red, and the weather cooled, ISPE Boston Area Chapter kept busy and focused on the future. With another successful product show completed, November and December were packed with events that encouraged networking and the exploration of the future of biopharma.
On 3 November, the Chapter began its first of a series of CEO/ executive dinners. The evening began with a networking reception and dinner, and was followed by presentations by Don Kiepert, President and CEO of Lantheus Medical Imaging, and William Dawes, Vice President of Manufacturing and Supply Chain for Lantheus Medical Imaging. The event was held at the Marriot Boston Cambridge Hotel and the evening was full of fun and networking between members and peers.
William Dawes, Sylvia Beaulieu, and Don Kiepert.
Later, on 19 November, the Chapter held a tour of the new Bristol-Myers Squibb facility in Devens, Massachusetts. "From Fort to Pharma" was a Members-only event that sold out in a matter of days! The tours of the facility met the high anticipation of the 100 lucky members who were able to see the future of biopharma at the BMS facility.
On 1 December, Chapter Members gathered in Cambridge to celebrate the Chapter's "Platinum Grand Award for Excellence and Innovation" presented at the ISPE Annual Meeting in San Diego. The celebration was a networking event with finger food, a cash bar, and lots of informative poster displays with information about the events, activities, and innovations that earned the Chapter this prestigious award. Attendees were also encouraged to sign up for the Chapter's many committees and help work toward next year's award.
8 December brought a highly informative and educational event at the Royal Sonesta in Boston. At this meeting, speaker Michael Drues investigated "combination products," which are medical products that combine drugs and biologics to expand the ability to treat and cure diseases. This presentation on leading edge therapeutics is another example the Chapter's focus on the future of biopharmaceutical engineering.
The Chapter is looking forward to the 26 January meeting at Foley Hoag's Boston Seaport location. The speakers ― Jeff Socolow, Sheila Magil, and Susan Dana Jones ― will discuss the importance of first-time accuracy and how the smallest changes can be detrimental to the long-term success of any project. Be sure to register today! For more information on upcoming or past events, please visit the ISPE Boston Area Chapter Events page at www.ISPEboston.org/events/.
The Chapter would like to congratulate its board of directors, committee chairs, and volunteers for earning the Chapter Excellence Platinum Award at Annual Meeting. The Chapter could not have done it without all of their time, hard work, and dedication. Also, congratulations to Boston Chapter Immediate Past President Doyle Johnson, who was elected to the ISPE International Board of Directors.

Delaware Valley Chapter
Written by Chapter President Bob Matje
The months of October and November were very busy months for the Delaware Valley Chapter of ISPE.
The end of October began with our monthly program meeting, which was a dual-track program that featured Lou Isernia from Wyeth (now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc.), and Depak Argwal from Jacobs Engineering, who spoke about cGMP compliance considerations in facility renovation projects. The presentation discussed the critical design, construction and compliance issues associated with facility renovation. The major topics included the impact of the addition of new product types and mixes, expanding product markets, and new cGMP requirements.
The second track featured Andrew Espejo of Wyeth who discussed maintenance excellence from the owner's side. The effort in Wyeth was first initiated in 2003 and has been on a steady journey of improvement year on year and was first presented as a topic within the Delaware Valley in January of this year.
During our October program event, ISPE HELPS, our non-profit support operation, collected over $340 to support both the student luncheon at the ISPE Annual meeting in San Diego and our breast cancer awareness in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In November, the Delaware Valley Chapter initiated its local education training course. Held monthly, these training courses are designed for junior engineers in the organization, but contain content advanced enough for senior members of ISPE who wish to brush up on their skills or explore a topic that they are not familiar with. The course is led by local volunteer professionals and is held at sponsoring company classrooms, which enables us to offer the program at discounted rates to our members. Further, these education events qualify for continuing education credits for those who desire to maintain their status as a licensed Professional Engineer in jurisdictions that require continuing education.
At the ISPE Annual Meeting, the Delaware Valley Chapter sponsored four Student Members from Villanova University who attended the Young Professionals Workshop and also submitted posters as part of the International Student Poster Competition. These students will report their experiences from Annual Meeting to the DVC Board at our February board meeting.
Also in November, the R&D sub-committee met and committed to hosting a roundtable at our popular vendor night in February, as well as researching the ability to host a webinar on lab design and lab safety considerations. Our Manufacturing sub-committee has also convened and they are committed to hosting a roundtable session, as well as supporting the March half-day education event.
Coming up in December, DVC will host its annual Christmas party at the Camden Aquarium, a new venue for this event that promises to be both fun and entertaining. We will also be continuing our monthly education series. December's program will focus on technical writing and will be hosted at Villanova University.
For more information, contact Chapter President Bob Matje via email at email@example.com, or Executive Vice President Chuck Clerecuzio, PE, CPIP, via email at email@example.com.
Argentina Affiliate
Written by Cristina D'Antonio and the Affiliate Publishing Committee
The ISPE Argentina Affiliate Board of Directors and committee members met last weekend in Tandil, an agricultural city in the south of Buenos Aires province, to discuss some very positive organizational changes and the challenges for the next years.
With great brainstorming and a positive atmosphere, we came up with some ideas that we could implement to improve the performance of the Affiliate during 2010 and the future. On behalf of the Executive Board, we want to thank the experienced leaders who provided their knowledge and best practices to the team for their participation and for their commitment to positive changes that will make our management role more efficient.
For information about the Argentina Affiliate and upcoming events, please visit our Web site at www.ISPE.org/argentina or contact Affiliate Chair Marta Cicconi de Vidal by e-mail at email@example.com. You may also contact Cristina D'Antonio via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cathedral of Hope, with its Full Orchestra, May Have the Best Church Music in DFW
In 1970, twelve Christians gathered at a Dallas home to form a new church. Forty-three years later, that church, now known as the Cathedral of Hope, has about 4,400 members and around a thousand weekly attendees. The church, with about 85-90 percent of its congregation being part of the LGBTQ community, is the country's largest LGBTQ-inclusive church.
The 11 a.m. on July 21, the service, like all their Sunday services, featured a full orchestra, which, other than the three full-time paid staff members, consists of all volunteers. The choir, mostly middle-aged and older, was wearing white and red robes. While he plays a huge role in planning, David Moldenhauer, CoH's director of music and worship, blended in with the rest of the orchestra as he played the organ. Moldenhauer, the son of a Lutheran pastor, has training in singing, the organ and the piano. His background and his love for music led him to his current position, after he joined the church in 2001.

The Cathedral of Hope does offer more contemporary and informal services on Wednesday nights, but the traditional Sunday services draw a much larger audience.
After the 11 a.m. service, we talked with CoH member and Oak Cliff resident Gary Roberts. He has attended the Cathedral of Hope since Easter of 1990, when he heard a sermon by Rev. Michael Piazza. (Piazza, as Senior Pastor for nearly twenty years, oversaw the largest growth in the church's history.) Roberts grew up attending a fundamentalist church in Fort Worth. While it was "a slow and difficult change" from his conservative Christian upbringing to his current liberal Christian beliefs, he loves everything about the church. When he joined the church, the music program wasn't much of a factor for him because it wasn't nearly as large and impressive as it is today. For Roberts, the music is just "icing on the cake."
Dallas is home to one of the richest religious music scenes in the country. Over the summer, we'll be attending services, both big and small, of many denominations, as well talking to musicians , directors and pastors. It's considerably more than that now. Before communion, the orchestra gave an exceptionally noteworthy performance of "All Praise Rising," complete with a solo from Paul Mason, a visiting tenor who has previously performed with successful musicians like Patti LaBelle, Jennifer Holiday and Glen Campbell. After the song, the congregation gave a well-deserved standing ovation.
The Cathedral of Hope's Interfaith Peace Chapel, the last design by world-famous architect Philip Johnson.
The music had the quality of a professional symphony orchestra, but it was free to attend and came with a sermon too. Toward the end, everyone joined together and held up their hands and sang "Holy Ground," which was one of the service's most powerful moments. The music was almost overwhelming, especially with the organ and drums combining with the collection of voices.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Thank you for using Just Answer.
Did you file for support through the couts or through a local child support agency?
Thank you for your reply.
Generally, once you have filed for support through a child support agency, they can also assist you in filing for custody/visitation.

Contact information for the family law facilitator for Orange County can be found here.
If the family law facilitator cannot assist you, and the father has signed a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity, you would have to file a Petition for Custody and Support of Minor Child(ren).

Product Review (submitted on March 6, 2013):
I am really happy with my kefir grains. Not only did they arrive quickly, but they started making kefir super quickly. I was expecting to have to wait a while, as they were dehydrated, and most everything I have read while researching kefir said that it would take 4-5 days (if not longer) to begin. On the 2nd full 24 hours, my milk started becoming kefir. On the 3rd full day, it was sour, thick, creamy and absolutely delicious. I'm really satisfied with these grains! Thank you.

Another extremely annoying trend. Even on my phone, now it's impossible to watch even Youtube videos without have to watch commercials. Must advertising be in absolutely everything???

I had wanted to check out Ray Donovan, but this... this is just friggin annoying. Now it may get put on the back burner just on principle alone. Way to go Showtime n' NYT! If your intention was to make me avoid your products, you've succeeded with flying colors.

The Ahwatukee Ravens, a tackle football team of local 7 to 9 year olds completed its undefeated season with a win over the Chandler Rattlers, 19-6.
The Ravens outscored their opponents this year by a margin of 274 to12. They played well on both sides of the ball, only giving up two touchdowns in eight regular season games and two playoff games.
Head coach Ken Haas summarized the Ravens' success: "The coaches were most proud that every player improved from day one and contributed to the team," he said. "Our players were enthusiastic and focused, and that translated into victories."
The Ravens' fundraising effort generated more than $4,000 for league dues, uniform expenses and gear for the players. Local businesses that supported the Ravens included Sommers Jewelry Creations, Native New Yorker, Echeverria Family Real Estate, Los Taquitos, House of Tricks, Studio Koi, John Tucker Agency, DMG Arizona, Quinlan Family, Gust Rosenfeld P.L.C., Bank of Arizona, Halo Branded Solutions and Hague Creek Companies.

text: The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions including, among others, the negotiation and completion of a merger agreement, acceptance and approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the approval of Isotechnika's shareholders and Isotechnika securing a minimum of C$3 million in debt or equity financing satisfactory for it to fulfill its obligations as contemplated by the Term Sheet. The companies currently expect that a formal merger agreement will be negotiated and executed before March 15, 2013. The merged entity will adopt Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. as its new corporate name.Leading the combined company as Chief Executive Officer will be Dr. Robert Foster, who is the current President & CEO of Isotechnika. Michael Martin, Aurinia's current CEO, will serve as the new company's President and Chief Business Officer. The new company's Chief Financial Officer will be Dennis Bourgeault, who is currently CFO of Isotechnika. Neil Solomons MD, will be the new company's Chief Medical Officer. Together, these executives bring with them a wealth of industry, operational and business transformation experience. The Board of Directors of the new company will be comprised primarily of members from both Isotechnika's and Aurinia's current Boards of Directors. Dr. Richard Glickman, who is a major Aurinia shareholder and was the co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aspreva, prior to its acquisition by Galenica, will assume the Chairmanship of the new company's Board. Isotechnika's current Chairman, Dr. Peter Wijngaard, will serve as Vice-Chairman. "While there have been a number of advances in the treatment of lupus nephritis, there is no question that significant unmet medical need remains," commented Dr. Solomons. "Aurinia has used and benefited from the ALMS dataset to develop and adequately power a new study in which voclosporin will be layered on top of standard of care in a multi-target approach to treating lupus nephritis. It is our belief that this combination has the potential to rapidly and significantly improve patient outcomes. To that end, we expect to launch this phase IIB study of voclosporin in lupus nephritis in 2013."
