Holy Land & Egypt: Norwegian Jade Cruise Review by mobilegb
Overall Member Rating
Holy Land & Egypt
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
This seems a strange decision as we felt perfectly safe everywhere in Egypt, and the people were very friendly and excited to have tourists back.
We arranged our own travel out to Rome rather than pay the usual excessive cruise company charges and had a pleasant flight with BA, other than the usual scrum in T5 at Heathrow, and our transfer through Get Your Guide worked well. We had decided to fly out early and spend a couple of nights in Rome prior to departure and were delighted with our hotel - Hotel Crosti - More which we would highly recommend. Around a 10 minute walk from Termini Station, it is quietly situated and although it only serves breakfast the owners also have a restaurant further along the road with excellent food.
Knowing that we would have two sea days to relax, we crammed a couple of excursions in to our full day; in the morning to the Vatican Museums and then in the afternoon to Tivoli with the Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa. We made the good decision to take an organised tour (via Viator) to the Museum and thereby jumped the huge line waiting for access which would have lasted at least an hour. The Museums are fabulous and a must for any visit to Rome, but I think we may have been suffering from culture overload by the time we reached the Sistine Chapel as we felt that it was overshadowed by some of the earlier areas. The hordes of tourists in the Chapel may have affected this view!
It was nice to get out into the country in the afternoon and enjoy the expansive site of Hadrian's Villa and then the beautiful fountains in the gardens of Villa d'Este. Georgia, our guide from Dark Rome, was amazingly knowledgeable and passionate about the sites and really brought the times of Hadrian to life. Highly recommended.
And so to the ship.
Although there is a train service from Termini to Civitavecchia, having called on a previous cruise we were aware that taxis from the station to Civitavecchia are thin on the ground and we didn't fancy the 10 minute walk to the port entrance and then the shuttle bus so we arranged a shared shuttle from the hotel through RomeLimoCabs which worked perfectly.
The berths at Civitavecchia each have their own terminal building (a plastic bubble!) but as NCL don't issue specific boarding times it was heaving, so check in was rather a scrum and there didn't appear to be a separate area for Latitudes members so it was every man for himself!
After the usual formalities of card issue and security clearance into the haven of the ship. We have cruised on the Jade before so knew what our cabin was going to be like; perhaps a little smaller than is now the norm, but well appointed and with an adequate balcony. One major plus is that the shower has a solid door so no curtain to fight with and the toilet also has a door separating it off. Also, perhaps unusually for a US line, tea and coffee facilities in the cabin.
Lifeboat drill was conducted before we sailed as is now the norm post Costa Concordia and went smoothly.
NCL Freestyle means no set dining times in any of the restaurants and we ate in both of the MDRs where the menus are the same although our preference is for the Grand Pacific which in our view is a much nicer space. Speciality restaurants abound on NCL ships and we had dinner in the Bistro which serves basically French cuisine and Papa's Italian on a couple of occasions. We also enjoyed brunch in the Bistro on the last sea day being entertained with traditional jazz.
Overall the food in the MDRs was OK, not great but adequate,however the Bistro is worth every bit of the $20 cover charge and Papa's is also good with a lower charge of $10.
The ship was virtually full with 2,400 passengers on board but we only had to wait for a table on one occasion and then only for 15 minutes before our beeper summoned us back. Only around 50% of the passengers were native English speakers and most of those from the US with Brits and quite a few Australians making up the balance. During the course of the trip we spoke with Germans, Spanish, Italians, Koreans and Japanese guests so it really was an international gathering.
On the entertainment front I must single out the musicians of the Jade orchestra who are fantastic, and really love their work be it playing jazz or accompanying the shows. It is so nice to have live music played really well rather than taped tracks.
There were three production shows during the course of the cruise (plus the crew show which we missed as we were off the ship that night) and we were disappointed to find that two of them were the same shows that had been on our previous cruise on the Jade in 2010. To be frank these shows - Showdown which is a sort of staged X factor and Shout which looks back to London in the 'sixties are past their sell by dates. Talking with some of the entertainment team it appears that NCL run shows for up to 8 or 9 years and have a total of about 18 different shows across the fleet, but it should surely be possible to rotate these.
I must say however that the third and new show Elements was very good indeed combining the talents of the production cast with some of the speciality acts who had been performing in their own shows, notably the magicians and acrobats. I would rate this particular show as good as those put on by P&O.
The other musicians around the bars and lounges were good, particularly R J Red. There were of course the usual range of lectures and quizzes with rather an emphasis on TV game shows which is not our thing, but one doesn't have to do them and the line has to appeal to all tastes.
I must commend Gary Glading the Cruise Director for his fluency in all the main languages being spoken, although I didn't hear him trying Japanese or Korean. He did an excellent job and was highly visible as well as actually singing at the French and Italian evenings. His story which he shared in a lecture is fascinating as he started out starring at the Paris and Las Vegas Lidos.
Now to a major gripe - organisation of shore excursions. We had booked NCL trips in Turkey and Egypt but made our own arrangements for Cyprus and Israel. For some reason NCL insist that everyone taking their excursions gather in the theatre and be despatched from there. It felt rather like being back at primary school and took a ridiculously long time to accomplish. In Port Said departure times had been brought forward with the day trips being called for 05.15 and the overnight which we were on at 05.45. When we arrived at the appointed hour, all of those for the 05.15 call were still in the theatre with no tour having been despatched. Our tour was called after 06.20 and we finally got on the road at just before 07.00 having had to wait for other buses to travel in convoy.
There must be a better system - perhaps just give people their coach number and a time slot to be on it. It was so much easier doing private tours when we could just disembark and find our transport.
Having said that, the tours were good. Limassol and Haifa are covered in the port section of the review.
This tour covered the Roman sites of Aspendos, Perge and Side. Unfortunately it was raining hard, but the sites were fascinating glimpses into life 2000 years ago and the theatres in Aspendos and Side are in very good condition. We were taken to a carpet shop, apparently to have a detailed explanation of the manufacture and meaning of the designs but in reality an hour's worth of endeavouring to sell extremely expensive merchandise at up to $20,000 for a 2 metre rug. This was followed by an hour lunch break and I would have preferred to miss the carpets and spend more time at the sites but no doubt there was a financial incentive for the shopping stop. Even so, a good day.
From Ashdod we had arranged for a tour with Cruising Excursions to Jerusalem and had a small group of just 10 people in a mini-coach. As a bonus this also included a trip to Bethlehem which the others in the group had booked. It was an interesting experience as we had to change buses and guide to enter the West Bank. Our local guide was excellent and obviously well connected as we were able to skip the line at the Church of the Nativity which was fascinating. Our guide for Jerusalem was equally good and adopted a very relaxed attitude without rushing anywhere, helped by the small size of the group. The cost was quite a bit less than the NCL tour although lunch was not included but this enabled the guests to eat what they wanted and the overall cost still showed a good saving. A wonderful tour.
Port Said
As the journey into Cairo takes about 3 hours we opted for the Overnight tour spending a night away from the ship to avoid spending 6 hours of the day on a coach. This was a great, if expensive, choice. On the first day we called at the Citadel and the Alabaster Mosque followed by a visit to the Egyptian Museum including the Tutankhamun exhibit - fabulous. We then adjourned to our hotel for lunch and had a couple of hours to rest. The hotel was the historic Mena House, originally built as a hunting lodge for one of the kings of Egypt and the base for many of the famous archeologists but now a 5 star hotel. Imagine the delight to pull back our bedroom curtain and find framed in the window the Great Pyramid of Khufu - fabulous.
In the early evening we were taken the short distance to experience the son et lumiere show at the Pyramids with Anthony Hopkins narrating as the voice of the Sphinx and then to for a 2 hour cruise along the Nile with dinner and entertainment (belly dancer and a whirling dervish)
The following morning we had an early start to be at the Step Pyramid at Saqqara before the crowds gathered - it was amazing to experience the site with few people just the immensity of sands and the pyramid and tombs. Then to Memphis and the giant statue of Ramses II and finally to the pyramids of Giza with the panorama from the plateau (we declined the camel ride) and then down to the pyramids themselves.In view of the crowds - it was a public holiday - our guide suggested we visited the third and smallest of the three - a good call as it was relatively deserted compared to the others. There were large queues to attend the Sphinx, but our guide arranged for us to enter through the son et lumiere compound and avoid them.
Lunch followed with an opportunity for purchasing papyrus and jewellery before heading back to rejoin the ship in Alexandria. The quality of the papyrus was totally different to that being hawked around the sites - chalk and cheese and well worth the price.
Two sea days followed and we arrived back in Civitavecchia in the pouring rain and cold wind - some contrast! We had booked a shuttle to take us back to Termini station and from there took a train to Venice for a couple of days to round off a memorable trip before flying back to the UK.
As always, the best thing about an NCL cruise is the staff who are unfailingly helpful and cheerful; nothing is too much trouble for them. Less

So....are the Bills into analytics or what? If so, it's either Geno or EJ. Bad news for Barkley fans. Pollard said he's working with a number of NFL teams leading up to the draft, but did not name any. Metrics were discussed on QBs, CBs, LBs and Pass Rushers. Just thought it was interesting based on RB's statements about analytics.

Capital Gains Tax Rules
Every year when people go to file their taxes they may come across something that they don't understand. One of those things may be capital gain taxes. If an individual has sold some stocks, bonds or real estate they may find themselves with a capital gain, but how do they know how these are taxed? These are just a few of the many questions that are frequently asked. Below are questions that have been asked of the Experts in regards to capital gains tax laws.
What is a capital gain and capital gains tax?
First a capital gain occurs when real estate, stocks or bonds are sold for more than the original price paid for the item. Business and individuals in the United States most pay taxes on their capital gains. The capital gain tax is for the most part taxed at a different rate than ordinary income. Capital gain tax rate is dependent upon the tax bracket which they are in at the time of purchase. There are two types of capital gains, short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains. A short-term capital gain are defined as an investment that is kept for less than a year before it is sold, and short-term capital tax is the same as the investors' normal tax rate. Long-term capital gains are defined as investments or assets that have been kept for over a period of one year. Long-term capital tax rates are lower than short-term capital gain tax rates.
If an individual sells property in another state and receives a long term capital gain, how will they be taxed on it?
The individual will have to pay long term capital gain tax on the sale of the property for the federal end. There are long term capital gain tax rates that are bracketed, for example if an individual is in the 10-15% the long term capital gain tax is 0%. The individual will also have to pay the state in which the property is taxes on the sale of the property, as well as paying the tax on the sale of the property in the state that the individual resides in. However it is possible for taxes that the individual has paid in the state in which the property was sold to be credited for on the taxes in the state in which they live. This helps to eliminate or at the least reduce the double taxation on the income by two states.
How is long-term capital taxes figured?
The best way to explain how long-term capital gain tax is figured is to give an example. If an individual is married and is filing jointly, and the taxable income before adding in the long-term gain, is $40,000, then the individual can make $28,000 in long-term capital gains before any long-term capital gain tax is accrued. The reasoning behind this is that the federal tax bracket of up to 15% top amount of taxable income is $68,000. So $40,000 taxable income plus the long-term gain of $28,000 comes to $68,000 which is the highest amount for a couple filing jointly to not be taxed. It should also be noted that taxable income is what is left over after all exemptions and deductions have been made.
Is the capital gain tax uniform in all states?
Capital gain taxes are not at a different rate in each state. Each state taxes capital gains at the same rate and do not treat capital gain taxes specially.
Capital gains tax are taxes that are applied to the capital gains made from the sale of capital assets such as real estate, bonds, or stocks. The amount of taxes applied to a capital gain depends on the type of capital gain it is, short-term or long-term, also upon the tax bracket that the individual falls under. Each state treats capital gains the same way in regards to taxes. If an individual has a capital gain and has a question as to how this will affect their income taxes, they are always able to ask an Expert.

Dressing Up Rotisserie Chickenby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, September 7, 2010
When it comes to store-bought options, a rotisserie chicken can be one of the healthiest ways to get lean protein on the table, fast! But don't settle for plain chicken — here's how to turn the supermarket staple into inventive, healthy dinners.
Chicken Know-How
Chicken is an excellent source of muscle-building and hunger-curbing protein. A 3-ounce portion of breast meat has about 150 calories and 3 grams of fat. Take advantage of both the white and the dark meat –- the dark meat is higher in fat, but (contrary to popular belief) much of that fat is the heart-healthy unsaturated kind.
When it comes to selecting your bird, choose plain roasted chickens instead of ones that have been drenched in spice mixes and sauces – that will send the sodium content sky-high. And always remove the skin before eating – it helps keep the meat moist during cooking, but contains most of the unhealthy saturated fat — a one-ounce piece of skin has about 120 calories and 11 grams of fat!
When you hit the deli counter, choose the freshest chicken possible – at many stores you can get them hot out of the oven.
Ways to Enjoy
For a grab-n-go meal prep, pull the meat off the bones when you get home from the store. Once the meat is refrigerated it's harder to remove. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Add diced or shredded chicken to sandwiches and salads, or jazz things up by incorporating the meat into soup, pizza, chili, burritos, quesadillas, summer rolls and pasta dishes.
Recipes to Try:
Chicken and Bean Burrito Verde
Chinese-Style Rice Soup with Chicken and Ginger
Chicken Salad with Peanut-Lime Vinaigrette
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Rolled Chicken Sandwich Arugula and Parsley Aioli
Asian Chicken and Orzo Salad
Tell Us: What's your favorite way to use rotisserie chicken?

Though we're not sure when Justice League will get off the ground, next year, audiences will be able to see an assembly of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and 1980s-something space guy on the big screen next year. That's right, they're all in The LEGO Movie, the newest animated venture from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller. This has all the charm and hilarity of the aforementioned animated children's book adaptation with a clear love for the LEGO toys and a comedic sensibility that kids and adults will all enjoy. Chris Pratt and Morgan Freeman stick out as voice talent along with Will Arnett as a great Batman. This looks awesome! Watch!
Here's the first trailer for Phil Lord & Chris Miller's The LEGO Movie from Warner Bros. Pictures:
And here's the first poster for The LEGO Movie thanks to IMP Awards:
The LEGO Movie is a 3D animated film written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The film follows Emmet, a completely ordinary, rules-following, LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Morgan Freeman all lend their voices to the film Warner Bros. sends to theaters on February 7th, 2014.

Heavy Trucks Improve Safety Record Leading Into Christmas
Heavy Trucks Improve Safety Record Leading Into Christmas.
While being accident free must be the target the heavy truck industry has every right to be proud of their improving accident record leading into the busiest time of the year on our nation's roads.
Recently released figures from the Ministry of Transport show accidents involving heavy motor vehicle (over 3.5 tonne) in New Zealand decreased by 35 percent for the year ending 30 September 2012 compared with the previous 12 months. Fatal crashes were down from 55 to 43, injury crashes from 155 to 98 and reported non injury crashes reduced from 120 to 75.
This is a continuation of the work carried out by individual transport operators focussing on driver training and operational safety and a decrease of which they can justifiably be proud said David Aitken CEO of National Road Carriers Inc. Transport organisations have worked closely with enforcement agencies and officials to lift the industries performance in the area of road safety and road transport operators have responded said David. Accident rates for trucks have been steadily decreasing and current annual fatalities are less than half of those recorded at the turn of the century (97 in 1999) despite many more kilometres being travelled and increasing tonnages being moved.
The industry however is aware that there is no room for complacency and is continually targeting further accident reduction by increasing the focus on vehicle safety through training, vehicle selection and the monitoring of driver performance.
The move to heavier trucks will also assist in the industry drive toward greater safety on the highway. This move will mean fewer trucks will be needed to meet the freight task but these heavier trucks will come from an upgraded fleet and will have all the latest safety features including electronic braking systems, improved suspension and stability control along with vehicle telemetry management and monitoring systems.
The road transport industry is serious about the role they play and will continue their work toward reducing the road toll to as close to zero accidents as possible. We want all of our drivers and other road users at home celebrating Christmas with their families said David.

The natural product segment has an incredible opportunity to seize a sizable share of the beauty industry. According to Sundale Research, natural- and organic-positioned products are expected to account for 17.4% of the beauty industry by 2013, up from the 5.1% expected in 2010. Consumers are seeking natural, organic and green products. However, a frightening trend is being caused by the natural segment itself. Constant bickering among the chief natural companies, certifiers and resources are causing consumers to doubt the reliability of natural products.
According to market research company Mintel, "In the U.S., some 42% of consumers indicate they don't know what to believe as to whether natural and organic personal care products actually are natural or organic." The debate over who really is natural within the industry, with one organization bad-mouthing another, is creating the opposite effect on naturals segments than desired.
No wonder consumers are confused. The dizzying pace at which one organization declares itself the authority on natural and organic while another undercuts them to reach the top even makes natural cosmetic formulators' heads spin. The debate inside the industry was originally fueled by legitimate concerns regarding the authenticity of some brands' natural or organic claims; however, the backlash of lawsuits and outright brand-to-brand attacks has left the consumers with a lack of confidence in the natural industry.
The proliferation of new "standards" and lists has made formulating an "approved list" a driven exercise, rather than one based on effectiveness, proven safety and consumer cost of the finished product. In the case of many safe ingredients, the baby has been thrown out with the bath water, with misleading information from watch groups. This trend has the potential to erode consumer confidence even further in the natural industry, and in order to gain that confidence back, common ground within the natural segment must be found.

Murphy earmark helps fund Lemieux charity
Even as the leader of a charity, former Penguins center-turned-team co-owner Mario Lemieux needed help to reach his goals.
Congressman Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, who has spoken out against "pork barrel" earmarks, directed through an earmark that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta provide $100,000 to Lemieux's charity in 2010 to fund a public information campaign about Hodgkin's disease.
The Mario Lemieux Foundation also received more than $500,000 in state and federal grants since 2004, helping lead to construction of children's playrooms at UPMC Mercy in Uptown, St. Clair Hospital in Mt. Lebanon, hospitals in Somerset and McKeesport, and a medical facility in Gilda's Club in the Strip District.
The foundation spent $202,763 in donations on lobbyists from GSP Consulting to help raise money for the foundation.
Murphy declined comment. Lemieux was unavailable for comment.
Foundation officials defended the use of a lobbying firm, government earmarks and aid money even though the Lemieux Foundation had enough money banked to pay for its projects.
"All we're trying to do is continue to raise more and more money so that we can continue to expand the mission," said Tom Grealish, president of the foundation.
The foundation has given out $13.8 million in grants through early 2011, most for cancer research. That doesn't include a $3.65 million pledge to revamp the Blood Cancer Institute in Shadyside.
Lemieux and his wife Nathalie gave $600,000 to the foundation. Its mission — raising money for cancer research, patient care and the Austin's Playroom Project — is personal to the family.
In the 1990s, Lemieux successfully battled Hodgkin's disease while his wife was hospitalized for three months after Austin, the couple's lone son and youngest child, was born prematurely.
The foundation employs five people, including Executive Director Nancy Angus. She said the lobbyists helped write grant proposals to gain money from larger charities because they have expertise in doing that.
The Lemieux Foundation's signature fundraising event is a golf tournament that has proven expensive to run, in terms of effort and economics, Grealish said. The tournament, which became a private event in 2006, generated a little more than $8.9 million in net revenue after incurring more than $19.8 million in expenses from 1996-2010, the nonprofit's federal filings show. The most recent tournament netted $455,000 — less than half what it brought in 12 years ago.
In fact, the foundation reported only $480,160 in assets on its 2010 990 Form filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
Grealish said the foundation holds other events to raise money — notably, a fantasy hockey camp that started last year — but never will be as large as charities run by other athletes such as Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong and Andre Agassi.
"I wouldn't look for us to be one of those foundations that's sitting on $10-$20 million," Grealish said. "... That's not who we are. That's not who Mario is."

Process Automation Through 50 Years in History
We've Come a Long Way in 50 Years and Automatic Safety Controls Are the Airbags of the Industry
Now the time is ripe to adopt a worldwide standard for a digital communication protocol, a standard that could link all the digital "black boxes," and could also act as a "translator" for those older instruments that were not designed for the digital age. Naturally, this standardization will allow the easy mixing of different manufacturers' products in our control systems.
A major step in this direction was taken in 2011, when the five major automation foundations agreed to unite around one protocol for field device integration (FDI). They agreed to combine their efforts, and form a joint company, FDI Cooperation. Its "board of managers" is composed of representatives of the five automation foundations and the managers of global automation equipment suppliers. (See "Swimming in the Alphabet Soup of Device Management").
We have good reason to hope that the FDI will finally end the Babel of communication protocols. When this materializes, the automation and process control engineers can once again concentrate on designing safe and optimized control systems, and stop wasting their time figuring out the communication among black boxes of the different suppliers.
Smart Instruments, Soft Sensors
Another step in the right direction is the availability of multiple sensor ranges, multiple references and the built-in intelligence serving to switch among them.
Sensor improvements also include the ability to switch between wired and wireless data transmission, providing both local and remote displays of both the real-time readings of variables and their past history, or providing self-diagnostics that signal the need for maintenance, recalibration or to report sensor failure.
Soft sensors are detectors that don't directly measure variables, but obtain measurements through the evaluation of other variables. For example, the mass of water in a boiler can be obtained indirectly on the basis of material balance between the water entering and the steam leaving. Similarly, outflow from a tank can be obtained from the rate of level change or from pump speed and pump power consumption. The mass flow of gases can be obtained from orifice ΔP, upstream pressure and gas temperature, or in custody transfer of oil, while mass flow can be obtained from volumetric flowmeters by using compensation algorithms for density.
Accuracy, Rangeability
It is also a major step forward that the best manufacturers now include the basis of their accuracy and rangeability statements in their specifications, and independent testing organizations, such as Evaluation International, are used to confirm them. The best manufacturers are also defining rangeability as the ratio between those maximum and minimum readings for which the claimed accuracy statement is still valid.
Similarly, nowadays the best control valve manufacturers' literature defines the rangeability of their valves as the range over which they guarantee that the specified valve characteristics are maintained within 25%. This is usually between 5% and 85% or so.
In short, there is no profession with a brighter future and a better ability to contribute to human progress than ours.

I am not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. I have worked with him for many years and he has been very responsive, professional and hard working.
Posted by Tim
I am in the same situation as the previous review on this site: having to work with Mr. Goyal on getting reimbursed for a car wash in Emeryville that literally destroyed the driver's side mirror on my BMW. Mr. Goyal is doing his best to not communicate and avoid paying out any reimbursement despite dozens of letters, faxes and certified mail. There is no real legal handling here other than avoiding the issue until the situation blows over.

Attorney Goyal works for Nakash Enterprises, a subsidiary of Vintners Distributors. They own gas stations and car washes throughout Caliifornia. If you've ever used one of their carwashes and ended up having your vehicle damaged by the washing straps, you've most likely been faced with the unenviable task of trying to contact Attorney Goyal for reimbursement of your financial damages. I brought the damages to the attention of the gas station manager as soon as the incident occurred. I asked him if he wanted to take photos of my car or retrieve my broken rear window wiper arm from inside the car wash. He said it wasn't necessary as they have cameras inside the car wash. I completed their claim form right away and was told their company would contact me within a week for reimbursement. The station owner assured me he would provide reimbursement for any gap in payment in the form of free car washes if the company didn't do what was right. (Like I'd want more damage to my car?) I've been calling and leaving messages for Atty Goyal for 3 weeks and he's yet to return my calls or contact me via mail. This business lacks basic professionalism and I now question their integrity. They probably rely on the fact that most damages would be less than a typical insurance deductible, thus leaving the consumer on their own to fight their company. Be careful before you consider working with Atty Goyal. I wouldn't trust his him with my business!)

Not worth the money
The quality of this product is not what I expected. I suppose I thought I was getting an oil rubbed bronze look to match the hardware in my home. Instead, this lamp was shiny and looks cheaper than the actual cost.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? so-so
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Cheap...not worth the money
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurate

I'm not from Indy...but it sounds like a regular deli that sells Ice Tea.
What is up with the Ice Tea?
Do they put an addictive chemical in the ice tea that makes ya crave it fortnightly?
NOTE - 10 points for whoever can guess where I stole that Quote from.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I heard that if you have a girl drink their tea, they give you a lapdance. That's what I heard, but don't take my word for it.
That commercial might be the most annoying one Fox Sports has had during Pacers games - and that's saying a lot, because they have some awful ads.
I really wanna go there.
That guy makes me laugh.
One of the most underrated comedies that I have ever seen.
10 points to microwave_oven
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
i've literally seen that commercial about 10 times and still literally don't understand how a commercial can possibly make you lose your appetite to a place that sells very good sandwiches.
Soo what exactly does this have to do with the NBA?
The Pacers eat sandwiches.
I presume.
Jim O'Brien will soon be employed there.
Ha yeah that commercial is pretty bad.
My roommate and I were just discussing the three maybe four commercials that are rotated throughout the games.
The low budget Shelbourne Knee Center one is also one of fox's favorites.
I've never eaten there but its close to where I live so I pass by it occassionally.
Actually, now that I've started watching games again, those commercials make me want to go back there. Of course, the last time I went there, I saw Derrick McKey.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
I wonder what they think of their delicious tea? Will that motivate them to play better defense maybe?
The Indiana Member's Credit Union commercial is starting to get to me, with that trumpet and the 80 year old guy that apparently just took out a mortgage. 15 or 30 year? Doesn't matter. According to the life expectancy charts, he ain't coming close to paying that house off, so it doesn't matter how quick he got his loan!
The Sweet Tea is so good, but please drink it in moderation. That **** is like liquid sugar. You could get as fat as the guy in the commercial if you drink that stuff on a regular basis.
But They have a good deal where you can get a like half sandwhich and one of there baked potato specialties. SPud Max is pretty damn good.
I cannot stand that Tom Wood commercial.
It's so loud.
Sweetberry chicken / chicken tortilla soup / sweet tea
Makes a great meal.
I have no idea why this was posted here, and I'm baffled that it wasn't moved.
Since they've won the last two games, Bird has let them eat again. Looks like that ultimatum worked out after all.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

Ron Finley is a badass. He works hard to create wellness awareness in urban environments by planting gardens in low-income homes, sidewalks, you name it. In particular he aims to turn 'food deserts' (urban areas with no access to organic foods) into 'food forests' using what is readily available in these areas: open space.
Imagine a world where lunchtime means foraging in your own neighborhood. Where city kids can have organic salads instead of Happy Meals. Better yet, these kids can eat the meals they helped to grow! As Ron puts it, "If kids grow kale, kids eat kale."
We had the privilege of photographing Ron in his garden, which was an amazing experience. Thriving only begins to describe how much life is bursting from his sidewalk utopia. After the shoot he loaded us up with armfuls of greens and we got to experience firsthand the fruits of his labors. Did you know there was a mustard green that tastes exactly like wasabi? Neither did we!
People like Ron are making the world a better place, and inspiring others to do the same. The rest of us need to put our shovels where our mouths are and go "plant some shit!"
Check out Ron's TED Talk:

Social research programs and studies in international affairs will be among the goals of the Institute.

Anyone else's watch having a problem staying connected to the phone after this update? Sometimes the connected/disconnected notification on the phone doesn't even show up. Other times the phone will say it is connected but the watch has the red squiggly line saying it is not. And I'm not getting any notifications in either instance. Everything worked great before the update.

CADDIS Volume 2: Sources, Stressors & Responses
Baseflow in urban streams
Urbanization generally results in increased magnitude and frequency of peak flows, but baseflow effects typically are more variable, with studies showing a range of responses in urban streams [Lerner 2002, Brandes et al. 2005, Meyer 2005, Roy et al. 2005 (Fig 35), Poff et al. 2006].
Decreases in baseflow may result from:
- ↓ infiltration due to ↑ impervious surfaces
- ↑ water withdrawals (surface or ground)
These decreases may be offset, however, by increases in baseflow resulting from:
- ↑ imported water supplies (i.e., interbasin transfers)
- ↑ leakage from sewers and septic systems
- ↑ leakage from water supply infrastructure
- ↑ irrigation (e.g., lawn watering)
- ↑ discharge of wastewater effluents
- ↑ infiltration due to water collection in recharge areas
- ↓ evapotranspiration due to ↓ vegetative cover
Urban-related increases in baseflow can be especially evident in effluent-dominated systems, or streams and rivers in which wastewater effluents comprise a significant portion of baseflow volumes. For example:
- Discharge from two wastewater treatment plants accounted for at least 70% of river flow in the Bush River, SC in Summer 2002 (Andersen et al. 2004).
- Average effluent flow in the South Platte River, CO is 41% total streamflow; during low flow conditions, this can increase to 90% (Woodling et al. 2006).

|Implementation, elimination of weakly dominated strategies and evolutionary dynamics
|Cabrales, Antonio; Ponti, Giovanni
|Other authors:
|Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Departament d'Economia i Empresa
This paper is concerned with the realism of mechanisms that implementsocial choice functions in the traditional sense. Will agents actually playthe equilibrium assumed by the analysis? As an example, we study theconvergence and stability properties of Sj\"ostr\"om's (1994) mechanism, onthe assumption that boundedly rational players find their way to equilibriumusing monotonic learning dynamics and also with fictitious play. Thismechanism implements most social choice functions in economic environmentsusing as a solution concept the iterated elimination of weakly dominatedstrategies (only one round of deletion of weakly dominated strategies isneeded). There are, however, many sets of Nash equilibria whose payoffs maybe very different from those desired by the social choice function. Withmonotonic dynamics we show that many equilibria in all the sets ofequilibria we describe are the limit points of trajectories that havecompletely mixed initial conditions. The initial conditions that lead tothese equilibria need not be very close to the limiting point. Furthermore,even if the dynamics converge to the ``right'' set of equilibria, it stillcan converge to quite a poor outcome in welfare terms. With fictitious play,if the agents have completely mixed prior beliefs, beliefs and play convergeto the outcome the planner wants to implement.

text: Show Hide image Politics 1 March 2012 United States: an overview Sign up for our weekly email * Despite the apparently inexorable rise of China, the United States remains by far the world's largest national economy, a position it has held since the 1890s. The US GDP of $15.1trn accounts for over 19 per cent of gross world product by purchasing power parity. The country remains the world's largest manufacturer, producing one-fifth of global manufacturing output, and is home to 139 of the world's 500 largest companies, twice the number of any other country. In 2008, a combination of the sub-prime mortgage crisis, investment bank failures and the global downturn pushed the US into the longest and deepest recession it had suffered since the 1930s. The following year, Congress passed President Barack Obama's $787bn stimulus bill, a combination of tax cuts and spending programmes designed to stimulate recovery. The economy returned to growth after four quarters of contraction, and has since regained all of its lost output (as measured by GDP). Economic uncertainty has increased in recent months as Republicans and Democrats have struggled to reach political consensus on how to reduce the national debt, which has reached $15trn (98.9 per cent of GDP).

What to Do After An Accident
Being involved in an accident can be a frightening experienced, and dealing with the insurance companies afterward can turn into a major hassle. Learning what to do in advance can help you handle a car accident in a calm way. Here are five steps to take after an accident occurs.
1. Check for Injuries
Following a collision, you should see if anyone has been injured, both in your vehicle and the others involved. If anyone needs medical attention, call emergency services right away.
2. Move Your Vehicle
If your car is in the middle of oncoming traffic, you'll need to move it to a safe spot on the side of the road. Put on your hazard lights to warn other drivers.
3. Exchange Insurance Information
You'll need to exchange information with the other driver. Get their name, address, and insurance information. When communicating with them, be polite and avoid saying who was a fault.
4. Collect Other Information
It's a good idea to record the names and contact information of any witnesses to the crash. Take photographs of the crash scene with your phone if possible. Having this kind of documentation can be helpful later when the insurance company is trying to determine who was at fault.
5. Contact Both Insurance Companies
If the other driver was at fault for the accident, it's their responsibility to report it to their insurer. However, some drivers may be reluctant to take this step, so you should get in touch with their provider and tell them the facts of what happened. You should also contact your own insurance company even if you feel you weren't responsible. Should the other driver's insurance refuse to pay for your claim, you may end up needing to file with them.
If the police were called following the accident, they'll decide who was a fault and issue a ticket. The insurance company will come to it's own conclusion about who should be held responsible. The information you gathered at the site of the crash may be useful to them in making this decision.

Comprising the essential components needed to begin photographing, the black Fujifilm X-T10 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body Deluxe Kit from B&H bundles the versatile mirrorless body with a 32GB SDHC memory card, a holster-style camera bag, and a spare rechargeable lithium-ion battery for extended shooting sessions. Additionally, an extended two-year drops and spills warranty is also included for further protection to your equipment.
The X-T10 features a 16.3MP APS-C-sized X-Trans CMOS II sensor and EXR Processor II to enable up to 8 fps shooting, full HD 1080p/60 video recording, and sensitivity to ISO 51200. Fujifilm's proprietary X-Trans sensor uses a randomized pixel array in order to avoid the use of a resolution-reducing optical low-pass filter, therefore providing images with the utmost sharpness and clarity. The X-T10 also features a unique Real Time Viewfinder, which features a 2.36m-dot resolution and 0.62x magnification, as well as a Natural Live View setting, to mimic the viewing comfort of an optical viewfinder with the added information control an electronic finder provides. Rounding out the feature-set is a sextet of autofocus modes that utilize the Intelligent Hybrid AF system for fast, accurate focusing with precise subject tracking capabilities; a large 3.0" 920k-dot tilting LCD monitor; and built-in Wi-Fi for wireless image sharing and remote camera control from a mobile device.
Characterized by its sleek, retro styling, the black X-T10 is a mirrorless camera featuring Fujifilm's unique sensor technology, versatile autofocus modes, and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder. Revolving around the 16.3 MP APS-C-sized X-Trans CMOS II sensor and EXR Processor II, the X-T10 is capable of up to 8 fps continuous shooting and full HD 1080p/60 video recording, and features an expandable sensitivity range from ISO 100-51200. Fujifilm's proprietary X-Trans sensor uses a randomized pixel array in order to avoid the use of a resolution-reducing optical low-pass filter, therefore providing images with the utmost sharpness and clarity. Beyond the advanced imaging capabilities, the X-T10 further distinguishes itself through its ease of operation via direct shutter speed, drive, and exposure compensation dials, as well as a dedicated automatic shooting mode lever. Intuitiveness is further carried over to the Real Time Viewfinder, which features a 2.36m-dot resolution and 0.62x magnification, as well as a Natural Live View setting, to mimic the viewing comfort of an optical viewfinder with the added information control an electronic finder provides. Rounding out the feature-set is a sextet of autofocus modes that utilize the Intelligent Hybrid AF system for fast, accurate focusing with precise subject tracking capabilities. The X-T10 combines a rich array of imaging features with a classic, visceral design for both ease and enjoyment of use.
Beyond the core set of features, the X-T10 extends its versatility in a variety of shooting modes and features, including Film Simulation settings that recreate the look of classic Fujifilm films, such as Provia, Astia, and Velvia. In addition to the electronic viewfinder, a large 3.0" 920k-dot LCD monitor is also available for live view shooting and image review, and features a tilting design to benefit working from high and low angles. Built-in Wi-Fi also complements handling by allowing for remote camera control and wireless image sharing via linked smartphones or tablets.
Built to meet the demands of photographers and passionate shutterbugs who are using advanced cameras and HD camcorders, the 32GB Extreme UHS-I SDHC Memory Card from SanDisk allows users to take advantage of functions such as fast action shots, continuous burst mode, and multiple frames per second. It features a capacity of 32GB, is compatible with the UHS-I bus, and delivers maximum read speeds of up to 90 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 40 MB/s. This Extreme UHS-I SDHC card supports the V30 speed class, which guarantees minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. If your device does not support the V30 speed class, this card also supports the U3 speed class, which likewise guarantees minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. If your device only supports the Class 10 standard, minimum write speeds are guaranteed not to drop below 10 MB/s.
Built for extreme conditions, SanDisk's 32GB Extreme UHS-I SDHC Memory Card is water, shock, and x-ray proof, while also being able to withstand temperatures from -13 to 185°F, allowing for use in environments such as snow and deserts. A built-in write protect switch further helps to safeguard your content, while advanced Error Correction Code engine offers improved data integrity and card reliability during read and write operations. Downloadable RescuePRO data recovery software helps you restore accidentally deleted images. The card also has a writable label on its surface and the included jewel case makes for easy storage and organization. This card is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
The Hunter 15 DSLR Holster Bag from Ruggard holds your mirrorless camera with lens attached, face down, in shooting position. When you're ready to shoot, simply remove your camera, get the shot and replace your camera in the bag. The zippered top of the bag opens away from your body for fast access to your gear. This also serves as a security feature since no one but you will be able to see inside the bag.
The bag has a water-repellent exterior and smooth polyester lining that helps prevent scratches to the finish of your camera/lens combo. Inside, there are two removable touch fastened strips that can be configured to support your gear.
For storage, there is a front zippered organizer panel, mesh side pocket and two side loops that accept optional pouches. On the inside of the quick-release flap, there are two touch fastened memory card pockets. The bag is carried by its removable shoulder strap, top carry handle or belt loop that will leave you hands free. The zippers have yellow pull tabs that make the bag easy to use while you're wearing gloves.
The Watson NP-W126 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack works with the same cameras as the Fujifilm NP-W126. This replacement battery pack features a capacity of 1250mAh, 7.4V of output power and 9.25 watt-hours. Small and lightweight, lithium-ion batteries can be charged or discharged at any time without developing memory effect.

Education a right for all worldwide
Associate Disarmament Spokesperson
10 November 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT
Education a right for all worldwide
As the President of Parliamentarians for Global Action, Labour MP Ross Robertson has joined the UN Secretary General,Ban Ki-moon, and his Special Envoy for Global Education, Gordon Brown, on Malala's Day, in calling for every girl and boy to have their right to education upheld and protected.
"One of our former PGA Members, Dr. Noor Jehan Panezai, was born in a Pashtun tribal village, in Balochistan, Pakistan. Contrary to local tradition, her family was passionate about education and the girls of the village were all educated. She trained as an obstetrician/gynaecologist and for over two decades was a formidable presence in Pakistan politics.
"She advocated tirelessly for reproductive health and rights and fought hard against the stigma and discrimination toward people living with Aids.
"Without her education, Dr. Panezai would not have been able to bring change to her country.
"We need to remind ourselves that education is a fundamental human right and that it leads to a path of respect and tolerance among citizens and between nations. Education is a universal right offering girls and boys a journey of choices, growth and possibilities.
"I add my voice to raise hope and advocate for the right to education of 61 million children that are not in school," says Ross Robertson.
"Parliamentarians for Global Action's vision is to contribute to the creation of a rules-based international order for a more equitable, safe and democratic world. And without a doubt, this vision begins with the right to education."
