He had to have been pushed pretty had for him to fireoff like that to people he doesn't know, he won't even swear at me and we've been friends for 27yrs.
I have done the best i can with with the information provided to me (over 400 pages of documentation) most of which was unhelpfull. Someone really needs to sort out this documentation soon. If it crashes the computer or makes it unstable then the documentation is wrong.
I would have thought that 47 days is more than enough time to spend 30 seconds to reply to a newcomer, obviously not.
I have downloaded 2 copies of your dvd and chris broke his dl cap by downloading your mini - you may want to offer to compensate him for that.
I know about computers, chris builds houses.

Hot Crab Dip
A longtime party favorite, this dip contains a number of assertive seasonings that balance the richness of the cheeses and the crab. The recipe comes from "Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook."
- Yield: Makes 3 1/2 cups
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, November 2010
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium shallots, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
- 4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 10 ounces lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Toast points, for serving
Preheat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the center. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water and simmer for 30 seconds. Stir in the cayenne, Old Bay, and dry mustard until well combined. Pour half-and-half into saucepan and bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the cream cheese, a few pieces at a time. When the cream cheese is fully incorporated, whisk in the cheddar cheese, a handful at a time. Stir the mixture for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce; stir to combine. Stir in crabmeat and half of the parsley.
Transfer mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and sprinkle with bread pieces. Dot top of bread pieces with remaining tablespoons butter; sprinkle with paprika. Bake until bread pieces are golden and dip is hot, 18 to 22 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1/4 cup parsley and serve with toast points.

Wow what a week for kids: Norwegian Star Cruise Review by marykpss
Overall Member Rating
Wow what a week for kids
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
This was our first time booking a suite and it was worth it...But from the beginning.
Embarkation seemed a little Unrehearsed for a boat that had been sailing out of this port for a few months already.
We got through security with no problem and we ushered to the line for the suites. We got our cabin cards and were brought to the area for the people in the suites. There were some sandwiches and cookies available in this reception area but we weren't able to partake in them because we were almost immediately ushered to get onto the boat.
The photo booth had not been completely set up yet, so we weren't able to get an embarkation photo taken. Secondly, Our concierge Patrick, was the one leading this small hoard of people onto the boat. Well apparently they were letting a bridal party on at the same time and the back half of the group was separated from Patrick. Nobody had told us where to go, so we were pretty lost. More Jamie, who turned out to be the cruise director personally made sure we got where we were supposed to be. (Side note..In our brief conversation with Jamie, we found out that there were going to be over 700 kids on board due to the spring break sailing time!)
Well we got got Cagney's eventually with the rest of the guests in the suites. Lunch was positively delightful. (Aside from my kids arguing over who sat next to the window) After that we were free to roam the boat.
We were told that the cabins would be ready by 2:00pm. They weren't. They wound up calling deck by deck that people could head to their cabins, and I was surprised that deck 12 was called last. (Don't they usually have the suites done 1st, and there are so few cabins on deck 12 to begin with?)
So we got into our suite ...LOVE the suite. 1st. Lots of room for the kids..Right there its worth it. There was a queen bed.(2 twins pushed together) a pull out sofa bed, and a full size murphy bed. Everything was separated by curtains, which at time got to be a bit clumsy, but definitely worked to separate everyone when trying to get to bed. There was also a small table and 4 chairs, a coffee table, and 2 other sitting chairs. For a family with 2 kids (ages 2 and 9) this was way too much furniture. We had our coffee table moved out because we just kept tripping on it. We probably could have moved out the sitting chairs too. I think it really was a lot of furniture for the room. The bathroom was very nice. The tub was deep, but not jetted, there were double sinks and storage drawers. The hand held sprayer in both the shower and the tub were delightful.
There was a very small walk in closet, with 4 different sections, One of which housed the safe.
There was a complimentary bottle of champagne and a bottle of water when we arrived in the room. We don't really drink champagne, so we had it changed out for a bottle of wine. Now here's the best part of the suite.
THE BUTLER SERVICE IS PRICELESS!!!!!!....We LOVED our butler, Andres..aka Andrew was absolutely amazing. He took care of our every request and anticipated our needs before we had them. I have to say we had him running a little bit ragged. He was just absolutely fantastic! He took care of changing the champagne to a bottle of wine. He also works as the room service attendant for his suites, and he took care of each and every special request we had.
We utilized the private concierge a little during this cruise. We got into the main dining rooms without having to wait, and with a window seat to boot.
Here's the worst part. The family suites are a part of a recent renovation, and were put in place of the spinnaker lounge on deck 12. Deck 12 also happens to be right below the sundeck and running track. I heard it every time someone went out for a late night jog. Also for the last 3 days of the cruise I was woken up at 2-3am with the noise of them cleaning the deck above us. They were scraping the deck chairs along the ground and hosing off the surfaces. I complained the 2nd night this happened and the gentleman at the desk said that there was nobody up there. I went up there myself and there was a crew working just as I had suspected. Worse than that..The front desk called my room at 3:15am to see if the noise had stopped!
We only caught the show on the last day.. Seasons the "cirque" ish show was very very good. We had our 2 year old with us for it and she absolutely loved it too.
We brought our kids to the kids club on the 1st night. It was an absolute madhouse. There was a 20 minute line just to get the kids checked in.
The kids were really excited about it though.
We were given a beeper as my little one is still in diapers, so we could go back and change her when she needed it.
Well apparently they didn't tell us that we had to press a button to check the beeper. It doesn't just automatically go off. When we came back 2 hours later we were reprimanded for not paying attention to the beeper. I was furious. They apologized for the "mix up"
They really need to rethink the age groups that they have together at the kids club. There is a group of 2-5 year olds, 6-9 yr olds, 10-12 year olds and the teens. Any mom can tell you that a 5 year old doesn't have a lot in common with a 2 year old and a 9 year old with a 6 year old as well. They need to add a few more age categories, especially during family cruise times when there's 700 kids on the boat! Each of the groupings also tended to gear their activities toward the youngest in the group...Great for my 2 year old..not so much for the 9 year old.
Also they were 25 minutes late for a family Lego event that turned out to be really disappointing.
Food was great, especially the breakfast and lunch service at Cagney's for those guests in the suites. We took full advantage of that and the fact that we could get the full dining room menu in our room. The buffet was good although they need to work better at keeping all the options a little bit hotter temperature wise. My husband likes Indian food and the section for that in the buffet was really really good according to him. The food service officer happens to be Indian so we must credit him for bringing in his own variety.
We had sushi in the Japanese restaurant one night and it was good, but they could use a little bit more of an expanded menu. I didn't find the service in this restaurant to be up to par with what I saw on the rest of the ship. We also did the "best of" lunch on the last day. It was good, but it wasn't great. I probably would have been more happy in one of the main dining rooms and not having a cover charge.
I am a slot player and my husband plays the tables. He never really had any luck at the tables. The slots were reasonably loose on the 1st 2 night, and then you couldn't get a nickel out of them after that. I did however find some luck in the slot tournament, which I wound up winning on Friday.
Common areas...
Our room was right near the library which I must say was very nice. It seemed to be getting a lot of use too.
The main pool...I wish rules were a little more enforced here. I can't count how many times I saw little kids in the adults only hot tubs, and college age drinkers with glasses in their hands in them. There really wasn't anyone taking care of the pool areas while there were people in them. Just at night to be cleaned. Also The pools were never filled to capacity (with water) I understand that they need to be drained while we're cruising, but there really was no time when they were completely filled.
The kids pools didn't seem like they were heated to the same degree as the larger pools. I found the water in them to be colder. Also the kids pool is in a more exposed area on the back of the boat. There was some paint chipping in the kids pool area too.
Ping pong. There were only 2 ping pong tables and we were never able to get one when we wanted it.
The stardust theater is absolutely gorgeous, and the new spinnaker lounge seemed a little cramped. It would have been nice to show some kids movies during the day for the amount of kids on board.
There is a popcorn machine in the red lion pub that seemed to get a lot of usage. They should probably put a few more in around the boat for the amount of people in line for it.
The bridge tour on Thursday for the cruise critic members was absolutely amazing. Mikos, the 1st officer gave very nice descriptions of everything and took my son's questions. My son was talking about the bridge tour for a week after the cruise.
The biggest issue we had on this cruise was the public drunkenness of the college kids. We saw kids being carried back onto the tenders after being on port. There was one occasion where I was in line at the buffet around 11pm and the girl behind me couldn't even put her own food on the plate. She had to leave the line to go and throw up. I would have been miserable if I had to listen to these kids all night in a room next to me. There really was no way to contain it.
Disembarkation went really smooth for us.
We gathered in the stardust theater and Patrick escorted those in the suites off the boat in our own line. We got off in about 15 minutes.
There was no problem getting a porter. We had parked close by in the lot and we were on our way very quickly. Less

Cabin review: SJ12526 Family Suite
There was quite a bit of hallway noise as it is in a main thoroughfare to the pool area. There is noise from the running track overhead and the late night cleaning of the decks. The windows were very dirty.Read All Family Suite (SJ) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
The first day we got tour VIP tender tickets and got off immediately. We walked around and shopped in port for an hour while we waited for our whale watching excursion.
It was amazing. After about an hour of looking, we found a mother and a calf. (Humpbacks) The baby was breaching. We got some absolutely amazing pictures and the kids had a great time. We also swung by and saw the sea lion colony.
Drinks and a light snack were included, but luckily there weren't any college kids on this excursion so nobody overindulged and everybody seemed to have a great time.
The second day, My husband and my son did the beach, buggy and swim while my 2 year old and I did a little shopping in port. I never felt unsafe, and with that said, I must say that I never really ventured far from the port. The boys had a great time on their excursion, but it wasn't said up front that you need to know how to drive a stick shift. ( My husband doesn't ..so they had someone drive them) The port was really crowded this day because there were 2 other boats in port with us.
The natural beauty of this place was amazing and teeming with life all around you. (Dolphins, Whales, Sea Lions, Pelicans..amazing varieties of tropical fish.) We absolutely loved it.
We were able to dock here, which was nice. We had to get off the Star around 7:15am for this excursion...A little painful...
We were escorted to a very small boat and brought out to the pirate boat, the Marigalante. We were shuffled around to take a photo and then downstairs to have breakfast...(Eat breakfast on the boat before you go to this one) It was some watery eggs and a slice of cold ham. Then we were quickly ushered back up to make room for the next group. I must say that they packed a lot of people on this excursion..Too many in my opinion. You really couldn't move anywhere. After they brought another 100 or so people on board and fed them we were on our way. The Pirate show was nice, not great, but nice. 2 hours later we got to a bit of a run down beach and were able to boogie board, banana boar, kayak among other things. We were told that the snorkeling wasn't that good because of the tsunami the week before had churned up the bottom a it.
We had a GREAT time at the beach with the kids, but the beach portion was only about an hour and a half. Then we were all brought back to the main boat and hoarded down for lunch.(Chicken cordon bleu was pretty good I must say) There was another shorter show on the way back. We were told as we were about to leave that the Star was waiting for us. (And a few drunk college kids as it turned out) It was a little disappointing that we had no time to do anything else, but we did have fun on this excursion. If I has it to do over again I would find an excursion that just went to the beach, and then maybe have some time to explore a bit.
We really would have liked some more time in Puerta Vallarta.

Mike Bondi
Director NWREC
Regional Administrator Clackamas Region (Region 10)
Mike Bondi was appointed the Interim Director for the North Willamette Research and Extension Center (NWREC) on January 1, 2011. Bondi, a long-time Extension Forestry and Christmas Tree Agent and Staff Chair at the Clackamas County Extension office, served in this role while OSU completed a statewide reorganization of administration for the Extension Service. In August 2011, Bondi was appointed a Regional Administrator for OSU Extension and has budget, personnel, and management responsibility for the Clackamas County Extension Office and the North Willamette Research and Extension Center. Nearly 45 faculty and staff are located at these two University locations.
Bondi began his career as an Extension Forestry Agent in Oregon in 1978 serving forest owners on the North Oregon Coast, Clatsop and Tillamook Counties. He transferred to a similar position in Clackamas County in 1985. In Clackamas County, his education program has served family woodland owners, professional foresters, loggers, and Christmas tree growers.
Bondi is well-known as the creator of the Clackamas Tree School, a one-day landowner education program that has been bringing together 500-600 participants each year for more than 20 years. Additionally, Bondi formed the non-profit corporation, Forests Forever, Inc., that owns and manages the Hopkins Demonstration Forest, a 140-acre tree farm, near Beavercreek. This all-volunteer organization engages thousands of people each year in forest-based education and recreational activities.
Since 1999, Bondi served as the Staff Chair Administrator for all OSU Extension programs in Clackamas County, located in Oregon City. During 2007-2008, Bondi led an effort to form the Clackamas County Extension and 4-H Service District that voters approved in November 2008. The District provides a permanent and secure budget source for the Extension Service each year in the county. As a result of the successful formation of the Extension Service District in Clackamas County, significant funding has been available to support the agricultural Extension programs managed at NWREC, too.
Since taking over the leadership of the North Willamette Research and Extension Center, Bondi has worked to increase the public's awareness about the important role of agriculture in our lives. New priorities have been an increased focus on media outreach, a newsletter, and events for the public and special interest groups. Bondi has also created a Friends of NWREC organization, which contributed more than $12,000 of financial assistance during the past year.
Bondi holds a B.S. degree in forest management from Iowa State Univeristy. He is a former Fulbright Scholar doing his forestry graduate studies in New Zealand during the mid 1970s. Bondi is married to Connie and has made Lake Oswego his home since 1985. Connie and Mike have one son who is married and lives in Bend.

Poor Barack Obama. Being president can take a lot out of him. That's why he needs to relax on the links, and relieve some stress into his golf game. No problem, says the Washington Post, the Gulf Spill can wait. This is the same Washington Post that berated President Bush for golfing while an armed conflict was taking place…in Israel.
Not that suicide bombings in Israel are an unserious matter, but doesn't the disaster in the Gulf require at least as much attention (far more, in my mind) from the President? The Post doesn't seem to think so.
So while the paper decried Bush's "golf cart diplomacy" and devoted over 600 words to suggesting that Bush's golf game was distracting from his work on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Post found no such grounds to criticize Obama. As a reporter for one of the paper's blogs put it, "who cares?" Obviously not the Post (h/t Jim Hoft).
Wrote Stephen Stromberg at the PostPartisan blog,
Surely even the president deserves — and probably needs — some downtime, even now. Weeks spent clearing brush back at the ranch in Hyde Park might be pushing it. But an afternoon on the back nine doesn't bother me. And whenever Obama does take a few hours off, there will always be enough going on in the world against which to juxtapose his leisure to enable the Jim Hofts of the Internet to take their cheap shots. It was unfair when Michael Moore did this to George W. Bush. And it's unfair for Hoft to do it to Barack Obama.
Was it unfair when the Post criticized Bush's balancing of work and leisure (on his vacation, by the way)? Stromberg doesn't say. As he notes, chief executives are always faced with a litany of difficult problems. So why are President Obama's golf habits off limit, while his predecessors' are fair game?
In fact, while Hoft simply posed the snark-laden word "leadership" at the bottom of his piece, the Post devoted a full-length article on page A2 to Bush's golf course distraction. The headline: "Before Golf, Bush Decries Latest Deaths In Mideast." Oh, snap.
The Post's Mike Allen wrote in 2002:
Bush, wearing khakis and a knit shirt, was holding a driver in his gloved left hand. The rest of his foursome, including his father, former president George H.W. Bush, was waiting. However incongruous the setting, the president plunged ahead. "There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started, and we must not let them," he said. "I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers."
His business out of the way, Bush barely paused for breath before saying, "Thank you. Now watch this drive."
The abrupt segue illustrates the dilemma Bush will face over the next month as he relaxes and works at his ranch in Crawford, Tex., at a time of global political volatility. On Tuesday, Bush will leave Washington behind until Labor Day. That is likely to mean a return to the golf-cart diplomacy of last summer, when Bush talked Middle East peace between playing holes, at one point dripping sweat as he said Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat "can do a lot more to be convincing the people on the street to stop these acts of terrorism."
Golf was apparently worthy of being the central theme of this story; the President was golfing while suicide bombers were blowing themselves up in Israel. But President Obama's attempt to get away from it all and enjoy 18 holes, on the other hand, is not worthy of any coverage. For those who suggest otherwise, the Post has two words: "Who cares?"

The excitement for spring and summer has really taken off here in Binghamton. Students are craving to wear skirts and shorts even if it's slightly warm out. This spirit is all around and people can't help but feel happy for the school year to be over. This Fashionista is overly enthused for the nice weather and can't wait to accessorize and dress up for the warmth.
Name: Hallie Erlich
Major: Business Management
Year: Freshman
CollegeFashionista: How would you describe your style?
Hallie Erlich: My style is very girly. I like to dress colorfully and have fun with what I wear. I like to travel and get jewelry from where I travel. I love to accessorize and just feel feminine.
CF: What's your favorite spring trend?
HE: I really like high-waisted patterned skirts and shorts. I love skirts, because they are so girly and wearing them gets me excited for the warmer weather!
CF: Describe your approach to shopping.
HE: I love to buy clothes when I travel because they are so unique and different than whatever anyone else is wearing. I look for things that attract my eye, and I like to find clothes that will go with other apparel that I own.
CF: How has being a college student influenced your style?
HE: I like that I live on such a diverse campus, because I'm able to see so many different styles and can appreciate everyone being so unique.
How To: It's so exciting making that first shopping trip for spring clothes. There are so many different looks to pull off; the possibilities are endless! This year it's all about colors and prints. Don't be afraid to go crazy in the color department. Have fun with it! This Fashionista loves to look at what's fashionable and then adapt to her own personality and style. To accomplish a similar look first start off with the perfect spring skirt. High-waisted skirts are timeless. To find one similar, check out Urban Outfitters. The next step is finding the perfect shirt to match. When wearing color be cautious to not over do it. If you have a patterned shirt, match with a simple top, that way you don't take away from the skirt. A crop top is great to pair with a high- waisted skirt. Crop tops have been in and are still in for this summer and spring season. Showing just a little midriff makes the outfit classy, yet chic. Look for ones at TOBI. The last part of the outfit is adding that little bit off sparkle. A long necklace layered necklace is the perfect touch to the outfit. The flowered necklace that this Fashionista is wearing is great for the spring! Forever 21 has a great selection of flowered necklaces.

[Interview] CN Blue′s Lee Jong Hyun Dishes on His Fellow 'A Gentleman's Dignity' Cast Members
CN Blue's Lee Jong Hyun has recently come to hold a new name – Collin. Why? The reason stems from the popularity of A Gentleman's Dignity and by extension, Lee Jong Hyun, who plays the son of Jang Dong Gun.
In real life, Lee Jong Hyun is CN Blue's guitarist and vocalist. Hitting the jackpot with his drama debut, he′s one happy man these days - especially considering that working (and meeting) the four 'mid-aged flower men' of Jang Dong Gun, Kim Soo Ro, Kim Min Jong and Lee Jong Hyuk is quite an enviable fortune.
Reminiscing on the past, enews met and asked Lee Jong Hyun on what it was like to work with Jang Dong Gun, Kim Soo Ro, Kim Min Jong and Lee Jong Hyuk.
"Jang Dong Gun? He's a person without a sense of reality."
Asked about Jang Dong Gun, Lee Jong Hyun immediately replied, "I always wondered if there people in real life who are just like their drama character but Jang Dong Gun senior is even cooler than his character. One can't even believe it when watching him."
He added, "He's so much a gentleman to the point one wonders if a person like him can truly be. He's a person without a sense of reality."
"Kim Soo Ro is the film set's flower!"
Even before the start of A Gentleman's Dignity Kim Soo Ro was known for making the set crew laugh.
Lee Jong Hyun also said, "Kim Soo Ro senior is always the film set's flower. No matter how tired he is, he always make efforts to create a positive environment on the set and is a happy virus who never loses his laughter."
Lee Jong Hyun also expressed his gratitude to Kim Soo Ro for always taking care of him.
"Could there be a person in the world who doesn't like Kim Min Jong?
It's that much that Lee Jong Hyun found Kim Min Jong beyond his expectations.
"I don't know if you'll believe me if I say this but Kim Min Jong is truly a gentlemen among gentlemen," Lee Jong Hyun said. "From the youngest to the eldest, he always looks after everyone and attends to them. I had the thought 'Could there be a person in the world who doesn't like Kim Min Jong?"
Lee Jong Hyuk is not scary. He's a warm guy!"
To be frank, Lee Jong Hyun was a bit afraid to meet Lee Jong Hyuk. The reason was because his character's image in the movie Spirit of Jeet Keun Do was so strong in Lee Jong Hyun's mind. However, he found Lee Jong Hyuk to be truly different than what he had thought.
"Jong Hyuk senior taught me a tremendous amount of things in acting. He's the one that suggests to me first to rehearse scenes together and gives me a lot of advice," said Lee Jong Hyun. "I thought he would be scary but he's actually a mood-maker and is a warm and friendly hyung."

Competitive Long-Term IRA CD Rates at Navy Federal Credit Union - Limited Membership
Navy Federal Credit Union has recently come out with a new 7-year IRA certificate with an APY of 4.25%. Unfortunately, it's only available for IRAs (Traditional, Roth and SEP plans) and ESAs (Education Savings Account plans). Minimum deposit is $20,000. For a $1,000 minimum the rate is 4.10% APY. There's also a competitive 30-month IRA CD with a rate of 2.75% APY for a minimum balance of $18,000.
Unfortunately, the above rates are only for IRAs. The rates for regular CDs are lower: 4.00% APY 7-year for $20K minimum and 2.25% APY 30-month for $18,000 minimum.
The above rate are listed at Navy FCU's rates sheet as of 2/04/2010.
In the rates sheet you may notice the 2.90% APY for a 1-year CD. This isn't a typical CD. It's the EasyStart Certificate which has balance cap of $3,000 along with several hoops to jump through.
Navy Federal expanded their field of membership in 2008, but it's still not easy to join if you don't have a military connection. You can now be eligible if you have some connection with not just the Navy but also with the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force. Refer to their Eligibility Checklist for the full details. Unlike Pentagon Federal Credit Union, there isn't an easy way for people without a military connection to join.
For more details about joining Navy Federal and opening and closing Navy Federal certificates, please refer to this May 2008 post.
Branches are located around the US and the world. Navy Federal is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 5536). It's the largest US credit union. It has $38.7 billion in assets and 3,258,521 members.

Tyldesley 7
Burnley Thirds 19
HAVING secured promotion from Raging Bull North West League Division Five last week, Burnley now need just one more win to be crowned champions.
Burnley, who have lost just three times all season, travelled to a Tyldesley side who still had an outside chance of going up and who had lost just once at home throughout the campaign.
Burnley looked sharp, running the ball well and this enabled Matt Fisher to race down the right wing to score the first try and help him to become Burnley's joint leading try scorer for the season.
However, no sooner had he gone joint top, Dom Leck went clear – jinking his way to the line and converting the try himself.
But Burnley allowed Tyldesley back in to the game with the hosts scoring a try which they converted.
The hosts then tried to run the ball out of their own 22 but master poacher Lloyd Whittaker intercepted a pass to score for Burnley under the posts.
The weather detoriated in the second half making play difficult – and neither side added to their scoring total as Burnley took the points.

Norwegian Fjord : Azamara Journey Cruise Review by halelani
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Fjord
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Copenhagen
Our decision to take a cruise was last minute; we reserved the cruise about a month before departure and we chose to use Celebrity's flight package with transfers. My husband and I are seniors, in good health, and prior "cruisers" on several different lines. The total package price, including onboard credit, was appealing More (though not cheap) for a "luxury" cruise. The promotion offered a reasonable base price with the possibility of an upgrade. We did receive an upgrade to a cabin with a large window on the same level as Guest Relations. The more expensive cabins are located on upper decks.
First impressions are signals and can be reliable predictors and our first exposure to Celebrity/Azamara was our first warning signal. We requested to leave at least one day early in order to sight see in Copenhagen and to adjust to the time change. We were told that option was sold out because of the last minute booking. Odd, because our flights departed on Friday, a premium day of travel, rather than the midweek travel we requested. The extension at the end of the cruise was also sold out. Our flight details were not advised until almost the departure date and we had no opportunity for modification. We did not like the return reservations, which had two plane changes. The transfers from the airport to the ship and vice versa proceeded smoothly and were essential to weary travelers.
However, the first impression as we boarded the ship signaled: This is not the "luxury" of Crystal; the feeling is "Celebrity". The level of polish and training of the Azamara Journey crew did not match that of a luxury cruise line. The "lobby" area was small compared to Crystal and the staircase overpowered the area. A designer jewelry concession was located in that area with the Guest Relations, Shore Excursions and Cruise Sales desks. Although tastefully appointed, it just didn't belong there.
Our cabin met our expectations for the price. The bed was the best feature with pillow-top mattress cover, fluffy comforter, and two big, fluffy pillows each. Additional decorative pillows added to the ambiance and comfort. However, the bathroom was tiny; the shower was extremely tiny, not what one expects of a "luxury" product. The closet and storage space was good and nice wooden hangars were sufficient. The room safe was broken from a prior occupant, and getting it fixed and ultimately replaced took a couple of days of contacting multiple sources. The small table that should have been beside the one chair, was missing. Again, the safe and missing table should have been part of the cabin review before we boarded, and any deficits corrected. The TV was a newer flat screen model with remote, but probably had never been adjusted for color and sharpness. TV programming choices were mediocre and I missed having a DVD player, available only in the suites. Our main reason for choosing this tour was the ports. We wanted to see as much of Norway as possible, so we signed up for numerous tours. The first one, an "all day" tour in Eidfjord was the most expensive at $228 each. What a waste of money! The packed bus drove from Eidfjord to Voss where we boarded a train to a lovely historic hotel in the mountains. We arrived after 2:00 P.M. and had to hike about a quarter of a mile from the train station to the hotel. By then, we were quite hungry and although the buffet was sumptuous, the room where we ate was hot and cramped and we were given less than an hour to select our food and eat it. Back on the bus by 3:00 P.M., we rushed down to the cruise ship, stopping twice for five minutes each stop to take photos of waterfalls.
Had this tour operated in reverse as described in the brochure, we would have eaten at the proper meal time. The train ride, advertised as featuring scenic views, had brief encounters with daylight; most of the ride was in the dark as we went through many tunnels and the lighting in the coaches did not work. Our guide spoke English with great difficulty and consequently, did not provide much information about the sights.
Our second tour, in Olden, featured a visit to a glacier. The tour description mentioned a hike of two miles total from the lodge where the bus left us to the glacier and return. The reality was a climb of about a mile and a half one way from the lodge to the glacier, up steep inclines with rough, difficult paths to navigate. This climb was assigned 45 minutes total, including viewing the glacier. The guide never mentioned that small carts were available for transport for one mile of the steepest climb. We had read about the "trolls" and paid dearly for our rides, but we were able to see the glacier. Most of the tour participants never reached the glacier.
The third tour, in Geiranger, was terrific. The guide was knowledgeable, fluent in English, and very personable. She and the bus driver enjoyed sharing their love of the country and added extra stops. It was a marked contrast to all the other tours, including the Flam railway tour. We were glad we canceled the rest of the tours and explored the remaining towns and cities on our own.
I expressed my displeasure about the first two tours and was told that Celebrity's main office selects which tours will be offered on each cruise. The onboard shore excursion team just sells the tickets and helps facilitate the operation of the tours. In my opinion, the tours are a primary way for Celebrity to make money and because the onboard staff has nothing to do with the actual tours, they lack the incentive to try to improve the product. The one tour they chose to take (of the ones we took) was the one in Geiranger, the best product. They really need to take the others, so they can share the same experience as the guests and can accurately advise guests about the tours.
Dining is always an important part of a cruise and I found excellence in one place: Aqualina, a specialized restaurant featuring gourmet Mediterranean dishes with a French accent. The food and service attained the "luxury" standard. However as first time travelers, we were offered the earliest reservation times or the latest, and we made our reservations before our staterooms were available on the first day. The most popular slots for reservations were reserved for guests in the suites and Captain's Club members.
Unfortunately, service in the Main dining room was mediocre at best, except for a waiter we discovered halfway through the cruise. The food was attractively presented, but the flavor relied heavily on fat and salt. The beef I ate was the cheaper cuts: tough and filled with gristle. The fish was consistently overcooked and dry. The dessert menu was uninspired, limited and repetitive. Why didn't the chef in Aqualina train the staff in the Main dining room? Why such a well defined difference in quality?
The buffet offered similar standards in choices of foods. For example, premium fruits such as mangos and blueberries were never available except as garnishes and when those fruits were offered, they disappeared quickly. The food choices were more varied than in the dining room, but the preparation was similar. Other observations that shouted "Celebrity" brand, not "luxury" were the charges for bottled water and the mandatory gratuity of $12.25 per person per day. The gratuity was excessive, in my opinion, and the charge for bottled water on a "luxury" cruise is tacky.
That the entertainment lacked variety or compelling interest reflected Celebrity's way of cutting financial corners. Games, hosted by members of the activities staff, took the place of guest lecturers and only a couple of "enrichment" program options or lessons were offered.
One very important service that Azamara needs to make available to all guests is to reconfirm their return flight reservations for them (when requested) and have trained staff dedicated to this task. A number of us were not able to access our reservations in the internet center's computers because, although the flights showed one airline, the international portion was operated by another airline. The Guest Relations staff turned away assisting most people with this problem; I insisted on their help. One of the officers in charge of Guest Relations disconnected the computer being used to help me because she felt that the procedure was time consuming (which it was because of the slow internet connection). After trying again unsuccessfully in the computer center, I returned to Guest Relations where I complained loudly and was ultimately assisted to my satisfaction. My experience with luxury cruises is that they offer to perform this service, in advance,
Despite what I consider to be shortcomings of Celebrity/Azamara, the best parts of this cruise were the pristine, scenic beauty of Norway's fjords and the ship's Captain, Karl Smith. His sense of humor and daily announcements were unexpected bonuses. He and his navigational crew accomplished several cruising "firsts", one of which made the news (so I was told).
Compared to a true luxury cruise company such as Crystal, Azamara cruise line has not achieved the rating of "luxury". The company can claim to be in the "luxury" category, but just making the claim does not make the claim valid; the cruise still has the "Celebrity" feel. Azamara impressed me as a brand in search of an identity. Good luck with your "quest". Less

Our styles are perfect for the Rascal Flatts and Band Perry concert because they are unique with lace, patterns, and designs,
Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) June 18, 2013
Rascal Flatts and The Band Perry are two of the biggest names in country music and both are coming to Indy on Saturday, June 29. RaeLynn's Boutique wants to be the store that dresses you for this stand out country concert.
The Band Perry is one of the most fashionable country bands known in Nashville so their trendy stage style will be no surprise to the audience at this concert. This will no doubt be the concert of memorable fashion.
RaeLynn's Boutique has over 100 styles of summer dresses for customers to choose from with new arrivals weekly.

Three minutes spent checking your trainers could save you from injury, says physiotherapist Jonathan Hill from Arthritis Research UK. When you run, he explains, "you land on the outside of your heel. Your foot then rolls inwards to be flat on the ground. This rolling motion, called pronation, absorbs the impact caused by running and helps you balance."
Some people's feet, though, roll too far (over-pronation) or not far enough (under-pronation) and there are running shoes suited to both of these styles, which will keep you comfortable and injury-free. Many running shops offer a free gait analysis, which takes just a few minutes. A video will be made of you running for a short period on the treadmill. Afterwards a slow-motion analysis is carried out, and the correct trainers can be recommended.
But you can tell what kind of runner you are in less than three minutes by placing an old pair of shoes on a flat surface – if you over-pronate your shoes will lean inwards (ignore any wear at the outside of the heel, as this is caused by the way you land). If you under-pronate your shoes will lean outwards. And if you have a neutral foot strike, your shoes will show even wear (ie they won't lean).

We've all heard that saying: 'He can talk the talk, but he can't walk the walk'. Well, the Apostle Paul was one who did both: he 'walked the talk'.
I have read and re-read accounts of Paul's exploits and missions accomplished many times and been amazed, but going on a study tour to follow in the footsteps of Paul through Turkey and Greece did a lot to centre my thoughts on this man and his ministry. More than ever before I got to thinking about why it was that Paul was so successful in ministry. Being there also drove home for me the price Paul paid for his obedience to Christ's call on his life.
I will never forget standing on the wharf at the Port of Neapolis (now called Kavala), watching fishermen mending their nets and thinking of Paul's arrival in Macedonia to bring the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the West.
Within a matter of hours Paul would make his way over the hill to Philippi, the leading city of the district of Macedonia where, after a clear demonstration of God's power through Paul's ministry, he and his travelling companion and fellow campaigner Silas would be severely beaten and thrown into jail (Acts 16:23).
After the pair's miraculous escape from prison (and the consequent salvation of their jailer and his whole family), Paul, undeterred and full of confidence, made his way to Thessalonica. Once there he headed straight for the synagogue where he again passionately preached, 'This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ' (Acts 17:3). The Bible says large numbers of people were 'persuaded and joined Paul and Silas' (Acts 17:4). The opposition was vehement, however, and Paul's followers, under the cover of darkness, sent him off to Berea.
Reaching there, Paul, undaunted as ever, made straight for the local synagogue where he again preached Christ as Saviour and Lord. This time, the response must have been more encouraging for Paul as the Bereans 'received the message with great eagerness' (Acts 17:11). But within a few days those in Thessalonica heard about this and sent troublemakers to agitate and stir up the crowds.
As we covered the distances that Paul and his travelling companions Silas, Timothy and other campaigners (or missionaries) travelled, and as we stood in places where he not only preached but where he and his companions were ridiculed, arrested, beaten and jailed, I was in awe of Paul's leadership and tenacity. In fact, I was surprised at how much this impacted my thinking.
I thought about how many other people in Paul's day were called and passionate campaigners who then gave up. And I wondered what it was that kept Paul 'faithfully on the field'.
I've also been thinking about Paul's boldness to call others to journey with him even when he knew there would be such hardship ahead. Because he was Paul's companion, Silas was also severely beaten and thrown into jail. Innocent people were dragged out of their homes and before the city officials simply because they supported Paul's ministry.
How inspiring his leadership must have been that those who journeyed with him would stay even though Paul brought turmoil wherever he went!
If anyone had good reason to give up, it was Paul. If I had been one of his colleagues—perhaps a fellow pastor—out of sheer pity, I may have counselled him to just give up!
Hearing news of the many hardships Paul faced: battles with the establishment, hardships and poverty, beatings and imprisonments, riots, sleepless nights and hunger, being regarded as an impostor and a nobody, the dishonouring reports that followed him, his being shipwrecked three times (2 Corinthians 6; 11:24), and the hypocrisy of other leaders around him (Galatians 2:13-14), I could imagine myself sympathising and saying: 'That is just not fair! The injustice of it all!'
As I walked in Paul's footsteps, I wondered: if I had faced the opposition and trials that he faced, would I have doubted my own calling?
Amazingly, Paul never looked or even sounded like he was considering giving up. And he never did, eventually going to his death for the sake of the Gospel.
Sure, Paul sometimes retaliated out of sheer frustration— and felt like a fool for doing so (2 Corinthians 11:17,23)—but still he never spoke of or hinted at quitting. Why didn't you, Paul? How did you hold your ground?
I've concluded that what kept Paul focused and faithful, among other things, were:
His Passion and Zeal for God: At first misguided (Paul used to persecute Christians, even to death) and untamed, Paul's eventual zeal to 'finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus had given him' compelled him and shaped his ministry (Acts 20:22-24). I'm not convinced that Paul was a particularly compassionate man, but his passion for God's purposes was undeniable.
His Calling: Paul could not forget where he had come from—or his calling. The persecutor became the persecuted (see Acts 9:1,16; Galatians 1:11-17; 1 Corinthians 15:8-10). Paul was utterly convinced of his calling. It was so strong and so clear that whatever hardship he faced just made him focus even more on Jesus (Philippians 4:4-7; Hebrews 12:1-4).
His Humility: Paul never forgot that he was the chief of all sinners. His deep gratitude to God for the grace and mercy extended to him was obvious throughout his ministry (1 Timothy 1:15).
His Vision: It wasn't about Paul or even about his ministry; it was about others and, ultimately, all for his Lord and Master, Jesus. Paul was so aware that Jesus had given up everything for the sake of others (Philippians 2:1-11; 3:12-14).
Following in the footsteps of Paul has given me a far greater appreciation of what it truly meant for Paul to walk the talk—and what it means for me to do the same.
Considering the example of Paul's life and ministry has encouraged me to stay the course no matter what, and to empathise with and encourage others who may be going through extremely testing times. It has also highlighted for me the huge importance of having faith-filled, Spirit-filled, wise and equally passionate 'travelling companions'.

WashPost Says 'Pitch-Perfect' Publicists Are Blamed for Promoting Deep-Red 'Extremism'
Congratulations are in order for our friends at the Shirley & Banister public-relations firm for being hailed as "Pitch-Perfect Conservatives" in Monday's Style section in The Washington Post. If you can get a liberal paper to hail you as "very, very good," you look very good indeed.
But the Post account by Krissah Thompson also used the "very conservative" label to define Reaganites and suggested their "deep-red clients" have been criticized for "extremism on the right" by both Democrat and Republican operatives:
Shirley & Banister and friendly Alexandria-based rival CRC Public Relations are the firms that very conservative figures use to pitch their messages to the media.
CRC is MRC's longtime PR firm. Elsewhere in Monday's Post, the left-wing "Nuns on the Bus" draw no label, but are simply credited with creating "One of the most energizing events in years for many in the U.S. church." But the Reaganites are extreme freaks:
Banister and her colleagues are very, very good at encouraging, advising, cajoling and marketing their clients. With partner Craig Shirley, she heads Shirley & Banister Public Affairs, a 10-person shop based in a historic house in Old Town Alexandria. The firm is one of the few in the business that take on only conservative causes. Moderate GOP-compromise types are not welcome...
Political strategists of both parties have denounced extremism on the right and laid the blame on more than a few Shirley & Banister clients for the Republican Party's difficulty connecting with moderates. But Shirley and Banister say they are determined to keep the anti-establishment message churning, especially after two consecutive GOP presidential losses and eight years of George W. Bush's budget busting and "compassionate conservatism."
The Post said S&B represented "deep-red clients" in their headline and reject "moderate GOP-compromise types," and then inside Style, a shot displaying the firm's political memorabilia centers on a book cover by... Bob Dole. That doesn't match.
Thompson and the Post also wrongly suggest MSNBC is eager for conservative guests, when any regular viewer knows "deep red" guests are rare, even though Shirley & Banister are eager to help:
The room's TV is tuned to MSNBC, the left-leaning cable channel with round-the-clock political news. The Shirley & Banister Web site features a quote from MSNBC's Rachel Maddow excoriating the "very, very able, very, very connected conservative P.R. firm . . . Shirley & Banister, which howls like a wounded animal anytime we mention their existence on television."
The channel is a favorite in the office, and not just because being blasted by the ideological opposition adds to the firm's right-wing bona fides. This is a business, after all. Whereas Fox News is stocked with in-house conservative commentators, MSNBC's liberal hosts often need a conservative foil. Shirley & Banister is more than happy to oblige.
We can still remember back in the Bush years when S&B helped launch a "deep-red client" on that network known as "Morning Joe" Scarborough. Sometimes, conservatives leave "extremism" behind for the "new respect" of the media elites.

You haven't beat the challenge. You implemented a buggy and effectively unusable linked list. The challenge was to beat my feat, however.
You haven't beat the challenge. You implemented a buggy and effectively unusable linked list. The challenge was to beat my feat, however.
All the buzzt!
"There is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, any programming language in which it is the least bit difficult to write bad code."
- Flon's Law
Buggy how? it compiles on my system just fine. I even made modification's to make it portable, even though that wasnt part of the original challenge. Since noone bothered ot point out the one really obvious bug (caused by a bad copy/past) I can only assume that noone bothered to even attempt to compile it.

I may be mistaken but the Heap functions appear also to come from <windows.h>. Why don't you just stick with malloc and free?
Not sure what this challenge is all about, but your List class only allows you to Create, Insert, Delete and Remove things. As a class it is useless: it doesn't take care of anything behind the back, it is entirely up to the user to provide all functionality and encapsulation to make this even remotely useful. Basically it is up to the user to manage the internals of the list class.
This class design is not really acceptable in C++. You might start by getting acquainted with the private keyword if you want to write anything but plain and messy C with some C++ keywords here and there.
Come on, you are not the only one here who could easily implement a linked list, but you are bragging about a class that has virtually no interface at all. While it may-be took you 20-30 minutes to write, trying to use it in practical programs will inevitably lead to hours of bug-chasing (unless someone takes a few hours and hides the mess behind a nice wrapper).

I might be wrong.
Quoted more than 1000 times (I hope).Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
what anon was hinting about private was this:
In a hypothetical template linked-list class you would make your node struct private, and next (and previous pointers if applicable) private as well. typically the iterator class is part of the public interface. The whole point of the iterators are to provide the user with random access to the list. Lists should (as templates) should not provide any indexing features (like insert at position 6), that's what the iterators are for. The user should decide how they want to use the list, the creator of the list should only provide being able to get to that node by pointing to it through the use of iterators. This is the whole idea in OOP behind encapsulation and information hiding. Like anon or CornedBee (not sure who exactly) pointed out that they shouldn't have to manipulate next and prev pointers to iterate the list (hence the point of iterators).
I don't want to put your effort down however, you know what you're doing, however your attempt simply fails to meet the requirements of a generic solution.

>> Buggy how? it compiles on my system just fine.
What does successful compilation have to do with bugginess? There is one real bug that has already been mentioned.
I did point out that it would not compile (at least from my visual inspection, which could be wrong), but I did not notice that you had corrected it soon after.Since noone bothered ot point out the one really obvious bug (caused by a bad copy/past) I can only assume that noone bothered to even attempt to compile it.
The reason why I said this is not "templates versus code" is that my point is:
However, it is much better and easier to use the interface of an existing container than implement such a container yourself.

wjecon.php3, a script converting ReDIF data to html
The PHP software used to generate the page from RePEc data. o use the program, unzip it and edit the wjecon.conf file to suit yourself (the options are reasonably self-documenting). Then run wjecon.php3 by invoking a command-line php interpreter as php -q wjecon.php3 >name_of_your_html_file.htm If you want, you can run this every night using cron or the windows task scheduler. It creates an html file with the list of papers from RePEc. You can change the jpg files to images of your own choice; same with the style-sheet wjecon.css. The html files were generated using the php files and are included to show what you are supposed to get when you are successful. The penn/princeton-rdf.* files are used to generate rdf-like data for the penn and princeton theory working papers from their web data since they don't provide proper RePEc data. If you need to index a series that isn't found on RePEc you might want to look at these programs to see how they work. See http://www.dklevine.com/wjecon/wjecon.htm for results.

BFRs Anyone?
Anybody shooting um?:D
How big are we talking?
I'm shooting a 450 Marlin, and love it:)
not me, I have developed a recoil aversion over the last few years, don't enjoy them at all. 7 mag is about the top end for my candy a$$.
I just picked up my second BFR in 500 S&W. It is not as powerful as the 450 Marlin, but out of the box at 30 yards, it was shooting outstanding groups, with iron sites. It also came drilled, and tapped. I'm setting it up for a scope before I take it back out. I'm also setting up to reload 500 S&W, because t can be very expensive shooting that puppy:)
I really like the BFR 45-70. The only problem I have with these guns is, if these are rifle calibers then buy a rifle...
Not to mention I like my hands attached to my wrists and my shoulders IN their sockets. :D
I shot a TC 30-30 Contender and it wasn't fun...
TC contender in .35 remington was bad enough. Shooting cinder blocks at 100 yards was cool, but uncomfortable. BFR's seem silly.
The ONLY reason Magnum Research makes the "BFR" pistol line is... There is no shortage of dumbasses out there that think they NEED a big ol' Macho Revolver to impress someone (hopefully a girly) that "may" show an interest in their big gun.

I'm with you. I'm right in the middle. I like knowing some stuff that is going on, however I wish some things were kept protected. The wrestlers that break kayfabe have clearly made the fans smarter and more knowledgeable about the business. It's amazing now-a-days seeing fans use terms like "ring psychology" yet years ago probably had no clue what it was. But those terms are used because of wrestlers that have educated the fans about the nuances of the business. CM Punk is a great example of a guy with a character/persona that is based on breaking kayfabe. It's cool that there's a guy able to say things that aren't suppose to be said, which is why he so beloved by fans. It makes me wonder if someone like CM Punk would have been able to make it in the business in the 80s. Those guys were all about protecting the business, and anyone that didn't adhere to that probably was dealt with accordingly. Times have clearly changed, but that was bound to happen with the evolution of technology as fans have more access to the ins/outs of the business as well as communicated with each other.
At this point I'm always amazed whenever WWE to produce something without it being spoiled.

KinetiMax Brushless DC Motors
- 5 series of outer‑rotor brushless DC motors with integrated drive electronics
- Rated output power up to 50 W and rated torque up to 170 mNm (24 oz‑in)
Example Application Solutions
CPAP Respiratory Ventilation Air Pump
Sleep apnea treatment often involves the assistance of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) respirators. All PAP systems (APAP, CPAP, IPAP/EPAP) control a stream of compressed air (4 to 20 cm H2O) to keep the patient's airway open, which assists their breathing and greatly diminishes occurrences of closure of their airway during sleep that results in episodes of apnea and snoring.
Allied Motion's compact KinetiMax brushless DC motors like the KMX24 are used in CPAP systems to quietly and efficiently drive the system air pump precisely at commanded variable rates.
Dialysis System Pump
Hemodialysis (HD) therapy systems require reliable peristaltic pumps to accurately control the flow of patient's blood and the dialysis solution through the machine's dialyzer.
Dialysis system manufacturers rely on Allied Motion's precision brushless KinetiMax outer rotor motors with on-board drive electronics to provide reliable, quiet, long-service life motor solutions for their HD pump subsystems.
Industrial Barcode Scanners
Quickly identifying items in high throughput environments like production lines, or luggage or parcel handling systems, is usually done with barcode scanners. The key scanner component is the motor that rotates the polygon mirror that deflects the scanner beam.
Allied motion custom designs these long-life miniature precision BLDC motors for high performance barcode scanner/readers.
Pilot Cooling System Pump
Military helicopter pilots can be equipped with special flight suits that incorporate microclimate cooling. Cooling fluid is pumped through the suits by a special pump system driven by a brushless DC motor, keeping the pilot's body temperature at near normal in harsh environmental conditions.
Allied Motion helped the pump and cooling unit manufacturer achieve required system reliability with a compact, custom KinetiMax brushless DC motor solution. Integrated drive electronics in the motor keep connections to a minimum, and the specially designed housing has an IP54 protection level.
Allied Motion's KinetiMax™ brushless DC motors have an outer-rotor design to take advantage of the greater inertia and increased torque inherent with an outer-rotor arrangement.
The KinetiMax family of motors also include integrated drive electronics as part of their design, making it easy to run them as you would a DC motor by simply connecting a DC voltage. The KinetiMax are compact yet powerful outer-rotor motors, owing to the use of high quality components in their construction. Their external rotor and iron core stator minimize cogging and maximize output torque. And, the higher inertia attribute of the outer-rotor design means a smoother running motor, which is a desired trait for laser scanning and rotary table applications.
KinetiMax have enjoyed success in driving many types of pumps, especially medical pumps, fans and blowers, laser scanners, and laboratory instruments.
