In a new report, Matthew Melchiorre of the Competitive Enterprise Institute refutes such claims put forward by economists: "Pumping money into the Greek economy may boost GDP and even spur hiring for a short time, but it will not lead to self-sustaining growth driven by private investment over the long run. Only fundamentally reforming the Greek economy can accomplish that. "When economists treat GDP as the be-all end-all metric to evaluate economic performance, they often propose ways to improve GDP figures, rather than the actual economy. Although GDP may be the best of limited measures in assessing total economic output, it is only a proxy, and proxies are imperfect. "If Greek policy makers really want their country's economy to recover, they should pursue austerity and market reforms with zeal."-- View the CEI WebMemo -- Interview the author -- More about Matthew Melchiorre

Pop star Dido has soared into music's rich list - but it's still dominated by golden oldies like the Stones, Paul McCartney and Elton John.
The singer made $38 million last year thanks to the massive success of her two albums, according to Heat magazine's annual rich list.
Her second album, Life For Rent, was the biggest seller of 2003 with worldwide sales of nearly eight million.
Her first, No Angel, continued to fly off the shelves and has now sold 12 million copies.
The 32-year-old won two Brit Awards tonight - the Best British Single prize for White Flag and the Best British Female title.
She missed the ceremony to concentrate on writing and rehearsing for her forthcoming world tour.
She is at number 10 in the rich list, which is dominated by old-timers.
The Rolling Stones top the list, earning $132 million last year after a lucrative world tour and accompanying DVDs.
Sir Paul McCartney - last year's number one - was second with earnings of $95 million, followed by Sir Elton John with $81 million. Both amassed their fortunes thanks to successful tours in 2003.

A Well-Worn Road, 'Killer Elite' Is Still a Badass Action Film
14 Feb 2012 // 4:00 PM
This movie is about one thing: highly trained assassins doing highly trained assassin kind of things. And that regard Killer Elite delivers in spades.
'Killer Elite': 'I Know the Look'
23 Sep 2011 // 12:31 AM
Set against the vaguely historical intrigues of the Dhofar Rebellion, Killer Elite raises the sorts of questions raised by the Bourne stories.

Spooked At News Corp.
News Corp. (NWS ) is a leader in global media, so why is its stock so sluggish? Headed by Rupert Murdoch, News owns prime properties in film, newspapers, magazines, books, TV, and satellite broadcasting. The shares are down from 19 in December to 16.6, partly out of uncertainty about whether the 18% held by John Malone's Liberty Media (L ) will be bought by News.
This stock overhang is spooking the Street, says Sarat Sethi of Douglas C. Lane & Associates, which owns shares. Investors fear Malone may sell in the open market, driving the price down. But Sethi is betting that Murdoch will get the upper hand in dealing with Malone and end up buying the stake on Murdoch's terms. Once resolved, the news will spark the stock, he says. News is an "attractive long-term investment," and what will drive up earnings is satellite operations, led by Sky Italia, a 100%-owned unit. Sethi sees Sky Italia, now in the red, turning fat profits in three years. He also predicts solid gains in its Fox News and sports cable units. So he sees News revenues growing yearly at 8% to 10% and operating income 18% to 19% over the next three years. Richard Bilotti of Morgan Stanley (MWD ), which has done banking for News, rates it "overweight" and says the Street underestimates its satellite operations: Sky Italia, DirecTV (DTV ), and BSkyB (BSY ). By 2009 they will make up 25% of operating earnings, he says. He has a 12-month target of 25, based on earnings of 67 cents in 2005 and 80 cents in 2006, vs. last year's 50 cents .
Note: Unless otherwise noted, neither the sources cited in Inside Wall Street nor their firms hold positions in the stocks under discussion. Similarly, they have no investment banking or other financial relationships with them.

Return to the classics
Guardian Lifestyles Editor
Published: Jul 19, 2013
Songs like "Imagine" by John Lennon, "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, "Easy" by the Commodores, "Dancing Queen" by Abba and "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees rocked the charts in the 1970s. In the 1980s, it was hits like "Rock With You" by Michael Jackson, "Flashdance… What A Feeling" by Irene Cara, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler, "All Night Long (All Night)" by Lionel Richie and "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown that were among the rulers — they are two decades of songs that people of that era yearn for in today's world of hip hop and rap, and the group known as Black Carpet Senior will be bringing back to the public at its event they've dubbed quite simply "Return To The Classics."
The old school dance party which will highlight the hits of the 1970s and 1980s will be held on Saturday, July 27 at The Beach Club at Sandyport, and hosted by a master of music of that era, Tony Williams, the programming manager at Star 106.5 FM and Hot 91.7 along with Hope Shelly-Ann from Cool 96.
"We just felt the need to have a themed old school dance party based on 70s and 80s music right now because there's a void, and a lot of people are really looking for this type of music," said Handel 'Reality' Sands, a partner in Black Carpet senior. "The people that actually lived through those years and experienced the music first hand are really calling out for a party like this, but we want anybody that's over age who has an appreciation for this type of music to come out and have fun because you find people that are younger who can still appreciate the music just a much even though they did not live through those years and experienced the time."
According to Reality, there are teenagers today who are getting hip to the songs of Michael Jackson that he sang in that era.
"Good music is good music and it's timeless," he said. "And we went with veteran disc jockeys in Tony Williams and Hope Shelly-Ann because they know about the music and how to have fun with it.
"Being a deejay myself, I have an appreciation for that type of music, and I actually span back to that time as well even though I'm into the hip hop and stuff. But my partners and I figure this was the right time to do a party of this nature because we always hear a lot of talk about the music and we see people throw parties, but this is going to be like the big one and the official celebration of the 70s and 80s."
And for those people who love to argue a point, Reality says there will be lots of trivia on the night to test people's knowledge of music from the 70s and 80s during the night with fantastic prizes given away.
There is no particular dress code, but for people that just love that era and have a pair of bell-bottom pants, clogs or an afro puff at their disposal, Reality says they are welcome to attend the event dressed to impress 70s style; or the notorious styles of the 80s like neon colors, MC Hammer baggy pants, leg warmers, stretch stirrup pants and of course the shoulder pads.
Doors to the old school dance party opens at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and can be purchased at Dash Designer Shoes, Carmichael Road; Crave, Dowdeswell Street; Lady of Caliber, Signature Plaza south and Airbrush Junkies, Mall at Marathon.
Where: Beach Club, Sandyport
When: Saturday, July 27
Time: 7 p.m.
Admission: $20 in advance
Ticket outlets: Dash Designer Shoes, Carmichael Road; Crave, Dowdeswell Street; Lady of Caliber, Signature Plaza south and Airbrush Junkies, Mall at Marathon.

QFF Platinum (OW Emerald), Lifetime Gold 117.75%
I've passed through there numerous times since it opened and always found it efficient.
I usually ask for a couple whenever I fly into BKK - sometimes 3 - they're happy to hand out on QF, CX & BA. Got caught once - *never* again!
Is this still an issue for some? Apparently the processing should be back to normal for all travellers now.

I had visitors arrive last night about 8:30 and they took just a few minutes to get through.
Other forums seem to have dried up on the subject. The last comment on flyertalk was 27 Mar.
This is probably one of those situations where no news is good news.
I came through BKK airport on Wed 18 April after landing on QF23 at 1900.
Immigration took about 15 minutes. Mind you that is about 14 minutes longer than I like taking when I land in BKK, but in reality things seem to be back to normal.
Flew into BKK on Monday on BA9 and there were about 8 staff at the premium exit so was very fast. Flew out of BKK on Tuesday on QF24 and all was fine, picked up our bags from the storage and were in the Flounge in half an hour.

Fix 'DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION' Issue in Windows 10/8.1/8
For various PC problems, we recommend to use this tool.
This tool will repair common computer errors, protect you from file loss, malware, hardware failure and optimize your PC for maximum performance. Quickly fix PC issues and prevent others from happening with this software:
- Download ReimagePlus (100% safe download).
- Click ŌĆ£Start ScanŌĆØ to find Windows issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Click ŌĆ£Repair AllŌĆØ to fix all issues (requires upgrade).
The DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Issue in Windows 8 and Windows 10, Windows 8.1 is one of the most annoying Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) problems. Read below how you can fix it and put an end to this annoyance.
One thing that was persistent in all Windows versions was the dreaded BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) and Windows 10, Windows 8 is no stranger to them. One particular error has been giving lots of users a hard time recently, and this is the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. For those of you that have┬Āwitnessed┬Āthis error, you might be wondering what it is and how to fix it. Today, I'll try to shed some light on this matter and help you fix the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION issue in Windows 10, Windows 8.
What causes the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION in Windows 10?
In some cases, this problem comes along with other BSODs and they all have a common cause. If you check the official Microsoft website, you will find some information on this error, and it goes like this:
This bug check indicates that the DPC watchdog executed, either because it detected a single long-running deferred procedure call (DPC), or because the system spent a prolonged time at an interrupt request level (IRQL) of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. The value of Parameter 1 indicates whether a single DPC exceeded a timeout, or whether the system cumulatively spent an extended period of time at IRQL DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
What they are saying here, is that, basically, Windows 8, Windows 10┬Āhas stopped working because it was unable to get a response from a hardware component, its driver or a software program that is related to it. Most often, the hardware component in question is a disk drive, and Windows crashes once the disk becomes unreadable (similar to unplugging the data cable of the HDD when it's in use). In some cases, the problem can be a hardware incompatibility or even a virus infection. Here's a short list of what could be the causes of the┬ĀDPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION:
- HDD becomes unreadable
- SSD Firmware not up to date
- Old or damaged drivers
- BIOS that has not been updated
- Hardware incompatibility
- Hardware was not installed properly
- Overclock not done properly (in this case, do a BIOS Reset)
- Malware infection
Fixing ┬Āthe┬ĀDPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error
Quick solution to fix various PC errors
- Step 1: Download this PC Scan & Repair tool
- Step 2: Click ŌĆ£Start ScanŌĆØ to find Windows issues that could be causing error 'DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION' in Windows 10
- Step 3: Click ŌĆ£Start RepairŌĆØ to fix all issues.
As you can see, there are a number of causes for the┬ĀDPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error, but luckily most of them ca be ruled out with no effort. For instance, the first thing you should do is check all the disk data/power cables from your computer. In some cases, if they are not properly plugged in, the system might read that the disk is unavailable and crash.
If all the cables are intact and properly plugged in, you might want to move on and check the health of the disks. There are a number of utilities you can use to check all the health-related aspects of your drives.┬ĀIf you own a SSD, you might want to look for a firmware update (if you didn't update it from the start). Keep in mind that if you update your SSD's firmware, you will most likely lose all data from it.
Updating all the drivers from your computer is another way to go if you have┬Āstumbled┬Āon in the┬ĀDPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. Check your┬Ācomponents┬Āfor their manufacturers and models and then check their websites for Windows 8 and Windows 10 compatible drivers, also, if there aren't any Windows 8 or Windows 10 ready drivers, contact them for more information. Also in the updating area, you should check the website of your┬Āmotherboard's┬Ādeveloper for BIOS updates. Sometimes, if a BIOS is getting old and you add new hardware or operating systems to it, it might not work properly.
We also strongly recommend┬Āthis third-party tool┬Ā(100% safe and tested by us) to automatically download all the outdated drivers on your PC.
Scanning your computer for viruses is something that you should do all the time, even if you don't have the┬ĀDPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error. However, if you suffer from this issue, then you might want to scan your computer┬Āthoroughly┬Āand seek out any malware that might be hiding in it. There are lots of great antivirus programs out there that can do a great job in searching for all kind of malware and other errors.
If the problem has┬Āoccurred┬Āafter you've installed a driver or modified anything on the software level of your computer, then you should do a System Restore to a point from before you've modified anything and see if the problem still persists. If indeed it was something you did or installed, then this should fix your Windows 8 or Windows 10 DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION problems.
Hardware┬Āincompatibility┬Āis something to take into account also. If you've built a new computer and┬Āinstalled┬ĀWindows 8,┬ĀWindows 10 and nothing else, and you get this problem, then some components might not work well with┬Āeach other┬Āor with the OS. In this scenario, you should do more research on each component and if you don't find anything of use, you should contact the store and get some tech support.
Keep an eye out for hardware that wasn't installed properly. Most of the times, users don't install the RAM correctly and a part of it doesn't make contact. If you want to check the RAM, take the DIMMs out and place them carefully back in, ensuring that you hear the click and that they are in place.
If you're still having issues on your PC or you simply want to avoid them for the future, we recommend you to┬Ādownload this tool┬Ā(100% safe and tested by us) to fix┬Āvarious PC problems, such as file loss, malware and hardware failure.
I hope that this guide is of use to you, and if you are still having problems, or if you know any other way┬ĀDPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION in Windows 8 or Windows 10, please leave a comment and I'll be sure to respond as soon as possible.

Gallery: Stella Maxwell sizzles in Maxim cover as Irish model named world's hottest woman
Irishwoman Stella Maxwell has been named World's Hottest Woman by Maxim magazine.

The bombshell, born in Belgium to Irish parents Stella Maynes and Maurice Maxwell, dedicated her win to women around the world and posted a picture of her racy cover shoot for the magazine - which sees her naked except for a gold breast plate, choker and skimpy gold thong - on Instagram.

Travel reviews by Mr D - Devon
A wonderful adventure
On this trip, I visited Tanzania between 28-Aug-2010 and 5-Sep-2010 and I travelled alone.
This was a wonderful experience.
We could only manage one week away and the balance of walking/camping to time in Sand River and Beho Beho was just right. Beho Beho sets the standard for safari camps.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The eneloop 1500x Super Power Pack from Sanyo includes 12 AA and 4 AAA 1.2V NiMH rechargeable batteries, 2 C and D spacers, a 4-position charger, and a storage case. The batteries can be recharged up to 1500 times, and come pre-charged using power generated from solar energy for immediate use. These eneloop cells also have increased storage life and better performance in extreme temperatures than the original eneloop batteries. They're capable of operating in environments as cold as -4°F.
Each AA battery has a capacity of 2000mAh, while the AAAs are 800mAh. Both types feature a low self-discharge rate and are free of memory effect, allowing them to retain their maximum capacity even if they are only partially drained when recharged. They will maintain up to 75% of their charge after 3 years of storage. The batteries have a durable super-lattice alloy that is highly resistant to deterioration. It lowers internal resistance and delivers a long-lasting, stable voltage output. A strong, thin outer case has been added to the battery design to increase internal cell space.
The 2 C spacers enable you to use the AA batteries to power devices that take C cell batteries, and the 2 D spacers let you use the AAs to power devices that run on D cells. The 4-position AC charger accepts 2 or 4 of the AA or AAA batteries, and will also work with optional non-eneloop NiMH batteries. It can charge 4 AAs in about 7.0 hr or 4 AAAs in about 6.0 hr.

Malaysian Airlines Plane Goes Down In Ukraine, May Have Been Shot Down
Ukraine said passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday as it flew over the country, and both the government and the pro-Russia separatists fighting in the region denied any responsibility for downing the plane.
As plumes of black smoke rose up near a rebel-held village of Grabovo in eastern Ukraine, an Associated Press journalist counted at least 22 bodies at the crash site 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Russian border.
The plane appeared to have broken up before impact and the burning wreckage - including body parts and the belongings of passengers - was scattered over a wide area.
Malaysia Airlines tweeted that it lost contact with one of its flights carrying 280 passengers and 15 crew as it was traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over Ukrainian airspace, but did not yet confirm the crash.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called the downing an act of terrorism and called for an international investigation into the crash.
The Donetsk region government said a plane crashed Thursday near a village called Grabovo, which it said is currently under the control of the separatists. The region where the flight was lost has seen severe fighting between the two sides in recent days.
Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet). He said it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher, which can fire missiles up to an altitude of 22,000 meters (72,000 feet).
The Malaysia Airlines plane is a Boeing 777-200ER, which was delivered to Malaysia Airlines on July 30, 1997, according to Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets, which sells and tracks information about aircraft. It has more than 43,000 hours of flight time and 6,950 takeoffs and landings.
Poroshenko said his country's armed forces didn't shoot at any airborne targets.
"We do not exclude that this plane was shot down, and we stress that the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not take action against any airborne targets," he said. "We are sure that those who are guilty in this tragedy will be held responsible."
Separatist leader Andrei Purgin told The Associated Press that he was certain that Ukrainian troops had shot the plane down but gave no explanation or proof for his statement.
Purgin said he did not know whether rebel forces owned Buk missile launchers, but said even if they did, there had no fighters capable of operating it.
A Russian news agency has quoted a leader of eastern Ukraine's pro-Russia rebels as saying they intend to call a three-day cease fire to allow an investigation of the crash of a Malaysian airliner.
The RIA-Novosti agency on Thursday quoted rebel leader Alexander Borodai as saying discussions were underway with Ukrainian authorities on calling the short truce for humanitarian reasons.
He said international organizations would be allowed into the conflict-plagued region.
A former plane crash investigator at Ohio State University talked to 10TV about what it will take to investigate the crash.
One of the first things officials will be looking for is evidence that the plane was actually taken down by a missile. Part of that information will come from the burnt wreckage, the other from the debris pattern.
"They will be able to look at the airplane wreckage and determine where the aircraft was hit. What they will be able to find is a unique pattern that's associated with a missile strike," says former aviation crash investigator Shawn Pruchnicki, who teaches at the Center for Aviation and Aeronautics at Ohio State University.
He says if a missile brought down Malaysian Flight 370, it probably hit the plane without the pilots ever seeing it.
"Typically they'll come from behind if it's a heat seeking missile then it's going to lock on the engines," he says.
Pruchncki spent nine years investigating plane crashes, including the 2006 Comair crash in Lexington, Kentucky that killed 49 people.
He says investigators at the crash site of the Malaysian plane crash will not only try to determine why it crashed, but they'll also try to determine if this was a case of mistaken identity.
"That's another question that has to be answered. Were they aware it was a passenger aircraft, did they mistake it for a military aircraft like has happened in the past?" he says.

These statements are by either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. See how many you can identify correctly.
1. "I will recommit America to the goal of a democratic, prosperous Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with the Jewish state of Israel."
2. "Together, we must stand with those Syrians who believe in a different vision, a Syria that is united and inclusive, where children don't need to fear their own government and all Syrians have a say in how they're governed - Sunnis and Alawites, Kurds and Christians. That's what America stands for. That's the outcome that we will work for, with sanctions and consequences for those who persecute and assistance and support for those who work for this common good."
3. "As president, I would make the hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid to Pakistan conditional, and I would make our conditions clear: Pakistan must make substantial progress in closing down the training camps, evicting foreign fighters, and preventing the Taliban from using Pakistan as a staging area for attacks in Afghanistan."
4. "(Egypt has) to abide by their treaty with Israel. That is a red line for us, because not only is Israel's security at stake, but our security is at stake if that unravels."
5. "Understand, America will never retreat from the world. We will bring justice to those who harm our citizens and our friends, and we will stand with our allies. We are willing to partner with countries around the world to deepen ties of trade and investment, and science and technology, energy and development, all efforts that can spark economic growth for all our people and stabilize democratic change."
6. "The United States will apply the full spectrum of hard and soft power to influence events before they erupt into conflict. Resort to force is always the least desirable and costliest option. We must therefore employ all the tools of statecraft to shape the outcome of threatening situations before they demand military action."
7. "The United States will exercise leadership in multilateral organizations and alliances. . . . But know this: While America should work with other nations, we always reserve the right to act alone to protect our vital national interests."
8. "My red line is Iran may not have a nuclear weapon. It is inappropriate for them to have the capacity to terrorize the world. . . . Look, Iran as a nuclear nation is unacceptable to the United States of America."
9. "We'll make sure we bring our troops out by the end of 2014. The commanders and the generals there are on track to do so. We've seen progress over the past several years. The surge has been successful, and the training program is proceeding at pace. There are now a large number of Afghan security forces, 350,000, that are - are ready to step in to provide security."
10. "The key that we're going to have to pursue is a - is a pathway to - to get the Muslim world to be able to reject extremism on its own. We don't want another Iraq. We don't want another Afghanistan. That's not the right course for us."
11. "We continue to make a - it a priority for us to go after natural gas. We've got potentially 600,000 jobs and a hundred years' worth of energy right beneath our feet with natural gas. And we can do it in an environmentally sound way."
12. "The United States of America has helped underwrite global security for more than six decades with the blood of our citizens and the strength of our arms. The service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform has promoted peace and prosperity from Germany to Korea, and enabled democracy to take hold in places like the Balkans."
13. "So here's my pledge to you. In a world of serious threats, I will never hesitate to use force to defend the United States of America or our interests. At the same time, I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary. And when we do, we will give you the equipment and the clear mission and the smart strategy and the support back home that you need to get the job done."
14. "And so we can be a partner with China. We don't have to be an adversary in any way, shape or form. We can work with them. We can collaborate with them if they're willing to be responsible."

Jalpaiguri, Sept. 9: Eleven girls, aged between 12 and 15 years, who were inmates of an NGO-run home, fled late last night and told police today that they were tortured by the staff at the shelter.
On Friday morning, three girls had run away from Nijoloy, located in Shilpasamitypara of Jalpaiguri town, but were tracked down close to the home and brought back.
They had tried to flee from a primary school where they studied, located across the road from the home, after prayers.
But last night, they fled again, this time with eight other girls.
The 11 girls spent last night sleeping at a Jalpaiguri residents verandah.
After they were apprehended this morning, the girls told the police and the district child welfare committee that they were being physically tortured by the home staff.
The child welfare committee has sent the girls to another private home in the town.
One of the girls said she and the others stayed in prison-like conditions.
Last night around 2am, we managed to remove rods from a window and escaped. We roamed in the dark and later slept in an open verandah of a house. We are being badly treated and physically punished and do not want to return there, she said.
She and the others said that their parents had kept them in the home as they were too poor to look after them.
But over here we are locked up in a room each night. When we demand to be taken to a playground, we are beaten with sticks. They do not even make arrangements for us to meet our parents, one of the girls said.
She said that yesterday she and another girl were beaten on the legs with an iron rod by the home superintendent.
Seema Pandey, on whose verandah the girls were sleeping in, said she was taken by surprise seeing the children there this morning.
It was around 5.30am when I opened the door to the verandah and found them sleeping. I began talking to them and found that they were from Nijoloy. I informed the home and took the girls to the Kotwali police station, she said.
Sudip Chatterjee, a member of the district child welfare committee under the state social welfare department, said the girls had been sent to Anubhav, a girls home run by the Jalpaiguri Welfare Society. We have heard the allegations and we have asked the police to investigate. If they are true, we shall seek cancellation of the licence granted to Nijoloy, he said.
The superintendent of Nijoloy, Kumkum Das, said the allegations were baseless. There are 31 girls in our home and none of them is subjected to mental and physical torture. We have informed my higher-ups who are in Calcutta, she said.
The deputy police superintendent (headquarters), Prabhat Chakrabarty, said: We contacted the members of the child welfare committee. We are investigating the allegations made by the girls and we will take appropriate action if they are found to be correct.
He said the superintendent of the home did not respond to calls to come to the police station.

Music Review: Heather Masse and Dick Hyman - Lock My Heart
Updated 7:27 pm, Monday, February 25, 2013
Written by General Jabbo
The Great American Songbook has a unique way of transcending generations. By rights, it should have been a forgotten form of music by now, a relic of days long past. After all, many of its songs were written between World War I and World War II, preceding the rock and roll era by some time. Yet here it is, all these years later, proving that a good song truly is timeless.
Legendary pianist, Dick Hyman, is 85 years old and would have been raised on these classic songs, yet the singer on the fine new duets album he is a part of, Lock My Heart, is a mere 30 years old-two generations younger than Hyman. Her name is Heather Masse and she first became familiar with Hyman's work at an age not usually associated with standards-12. Masse's mother played piano herself and had one of Hyman's books. Soon Masse found herself singing and playing these songs herself. After studying jazz in college and having some chart success with her folk band, The Wailin' Jennys, Masse found herself paired with Hyman on A Prairie Home Companion. The fit was a natural one, and a year later, the pair recorded Lock My Heart, a collection of standards with some Masse originals.
The CD opens with Rodgers and Hart's "Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered." Masse offers a delicate vocal over a pretty piano backdrop from Hyman. "Lullaby Of Birdland" has Hyman showing off his considerable piano chops in the song's intricate intro while Masse proves herself adept at singing jazzier material.
The pair gives a bluesy reading of Gershwin's "Love Is Here To Stay." Hyman's playful accompaniment provides the perfect complement to Masse's breathy vocals. A poignant "September Song," one of two Kurt Weill songs on the album, showcases a longing vocal from Masse.
It's a testament to Masse's songwriting that her two originals don't seem out of place amidst an album of standards. "If I Called You" is a pretty song filled with optimism and a strong vocal from Masse while "Morning Drinker" is an exercise in the blues with Hyman effortlessly following Masse's vocal lead.
From the album's opening notes, it's clear Masse and Hyman are a musical match. Masse's strong vocals seem to push Hyman's playing while he has the same effect on her. This makes for an exciting collaboration and is why Lock My Heart is a worthwhile pairing.

Hassocks is a large village and civil parish in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, England. Its name is believed to derive from the tufts of grass found in the surrounding fields.
Located approximately north of Brighton, with a population of 6,821, the area now occupied by Hassocks was just a collection of small houses and a coaching house until the 19th century, when work started on the London to Brighton railway. Hassocks until 2000 was just a postal district and prior to that the name of the railway station. The Parishes were Clayton and Keymer, it is believed that when the railway came in 1841 the Parish Councils were given the opportunity of naming the station. But they could not agree and eventually the directors of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway gave up waiting and named the station Hassocks Gate themselves.

Brides often have a clear vision about specific elements of their wedding day – perhaps a favorite song that will be the couple's first dance, or a particular specialty cocktail to be served before the reception. Whatever your vision may be, it is important to view the wedding as a whole and understand how each element works together to create an overall experience.
Today, we're looking at how a bride can take the vision of her wedding dress, and apply it to another important tone setting element of the wedding day – wedding invitations. While many brides may dream of their dress from a young age, it's rare to find a bride who knows exactly what style of invitations they would like. We suggest taking a cue from your wedding dress style!
We've matched several lovely designs from the Wedding Suite at Nordstrom to coordinating wedding invitations.
A creative or artistic bride will love this Hayley Paige Tea Length Dress. With a touch of vintage flair and a delicate floral overlay, the dress pairs well with our water color inspired Brushed Blossoms design.
A chic bride may add a glamorous touch to her wedding with a nod to vintage elegance. The simple and clean lines of this Caroline DeVillo gown are reminiscent of this architecturally inspired Art Deco design.
When a bride wants to go back to nature for her wedding, we think soft dresses and floral details. The beautifully intricate top to this Two by Rosa Clara dress immediately made us think of delicate wildflowers. The style is perfect for an outdoor reception, particularly when paired with the Detailed Delight wedding invitation.
Elegant romance is what comes to mind with this stunning Hayley Paige gown and shawl. Mimic the delicate lace of the shawl by pairing with the Luscious Lacing wedding invitation suite.
Striking and bold, the styling for this Christian Siriano gown is both modern and whimsical. Draw inspiration from color combinations (black and white, here) and accessories to find the perfect invitation design. In this case, we love the playful typography on our True Promises wedding invitation.
The online collection of dresses isn't the full selection of wedding dresses offered by the Wedding Suites at Nordstrom. Be sure to visit an in-store location to find more dresses and receive help from a free wedding stylist (and find Wedding Paper Divas inspiration boards, catalogs, and stationery samples).

Rixon, Wright in for NZ job
STEVE Rixon appears to have no competition from fellow Australian coaches as he eyes a second term in charge of New Zealand's cricketers.
Rixon, who coached the Black Caps from 1997 to 1999, has re-emerged as a contender for the post after Andy Moles resigned last week due to a player backlash. NZ captain Daniel Vettori is to take the reins until February.
''The timing is quite good, I think that the job that needs to be done is very similar to the job that had to be done in 1997 and the challenge is appealing,'' Rixon said.
Former NZ opener John Wright, who coached India, looms as the favourite if he wants the job after two Australians and former NZ skipper Stephen Fleming ruled themselves out yesterday.
West Australian coach Tom Moody and long-time Victorian mentor Greg Shipperd said they would continue their state jobs, while Fleming felt he was too close to the current group of players to take over as coach.

A Kane County judge on Thursday found 18-year-old Edward Edwardsen at least temporarily unfit to stand trial on charges that he committed a series of violent crimes against two people and several cats last year.
Citing evidence from the prosecution's own psychologist, Judge Donald Hudson said that what he heard during a hearing in February convinced him that Edwardsen was too emotionally disturbed to assist his attorney in preparing a defense.
After hearing the prosecution's psychologist, Tim Brown, concede that Edwardsen was an "emotionally disturbed person" who could still suffer from visual or auditory hallucinations, Hudson said to press Edwardsen to come to trial now "would be inviting a reversal" by the appellate court if he was found guilty.
Still, Hudson said, finding the Elgin resident unfit "is certainly not a free pass."
Edwardsen, who is being held on $6 million bond, faces four counts of attempted murder, six counts of aggravated battery, four counts of armed violence, three counts of animal cruelty and one count of residential burglary.
The charges stem from three attacks that occurred within days of each other in early September.
The Jacobs High School senior is accused of injuring two people in separate attacks in Elgin and Carpentersville over Labor Day weekend. He also is accused of breaking into an Elgin home, partially disemboweling two cats and cutting another cat's leg.
Hudson set a court date for May 31 to hear an evaluation from the state's Department of Health Services about progress Edwardsen is making.
While being held in jail awaiting trial, Edwardsen already is taking the antipsychotic drug Halidol to help him combat the mental problems he endures - something Hudson pointed out used to be cause enough to find a defendant unfit for trial.
Dr. Gerard Girdaukas, the psychologist hired by Edwardsen's family, had told Hudson last month that he thought Edwardsen could be made fit for trial in three to six months with proper treatment.
During the fitness hearing last month, Girdaukas said that Edwardsen was afflicted with severe schizophrenia. He experiences ongoing episodes of audio and visual hallucinations.
Girdaukas believes that with increased medication and counseling, most of Edwardsen's delusions and hallucinations can be controlled.
But Dr. Tim Brown, director of the Kane County Diagnostic Center, disagrees.
Brown said Edwardsen might suffer from occasional hallucinations and delusions, but he understands what is happening to him and what all the elements of a jury trial are.
Those peculiar thoughts include a belief by Edwardsen that he once "lived in another time," both doctors said.
Given the testimony last month, Assistant Kane County State's Attorney Greg Sams said he wasn't surprised by Hudson's ruling and that it won't affect the decision to go forward with the case.
"We'll still prosecute," he said. "Sometimes, these (questions of fitness) go on for years."
Eight members of Edwardsen's family showed up in court to offer him support, including his father, his mother and his grandmother, with whom Edwardsen lived for a while during his teens.
"I think the judge's decision is the right decision," grandmother Laverne Edwards said. "He was told he would get help (in jail), but they haven't given him any help ....except for one Halidol pill a day."
Edwardsen's mother, Marcia Gehrig, told defense attorney David Camic she was happy with the judge's decision. "At least now he'll get some help," she said.
Camic said that Edwardsen knew himself that he needed help before this occurred.
At one point last year, he tried to check himself into the Elgin Mental Health Center but was turned away, Camic said, because he was only 17.
Laverne Edwards said in the time that her grandson lived with her, she sometimes thought something might be wrong with him - but she wasn't sure.
"I didn't really notice it coming on," she said. "There were little things, like, he'd say he was having problems with his head. But he jokes around so much, I'd ignored it.
"Now, when someone says anything to me (like that ), I listen and worry.

Lacey, Larkin receive award
New Times founders Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin received the President's Award from the Valley chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists at the group's Freedom of Information Awards banquet Friday, April 4.
The award was presented for a story the two penned last fall about unreasonable grand jury subpoenas issued by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office against New Times and its readers ("Breathtaking Abuse of the Constitution," October 18, 2007). The subpoenas sought notes and information from writers and editors and the online viewing habits of the paper's Web site visitors. The authors were arrested and taken to jail the night after the story appeared in New Times.
The subpoenas were issued in an investigation of this newspaper's publishing of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's home address on its Web site years earlier in a column about the sheriff's suspicious personal real estate deals. Putting the address on the Internet was in apparent violation of an arcane and untested state law. Charges against Lacey and Larkin and the probe of New Times were dropped the day after the arrests by County Attorney Andrew Thomas, who was embarrassed by the local and national furor they had unleashed.
Michael Lacey
It was the second top award in as many weeks for Lacey, executive editor of Village Voice Media, and Larkin, the company's CEO. The ACLU Foundation of Arizona named the two Civil Libertarians of the Year on March 29.
In his acceptance remarks, Lacey said he and Larkin were proud to receive an award from an organization whose members have produced such stellar journalism in the Valley.

However, he has now been forced to end his playing career on medical grounds after suffering a serious shoulder injury in the RFU Championship play-offs against Bristol Rugby in March.
Sanderson joined Warriors after previous playing spells at Sale and Harlequins and quickly became an instrumental figure at the club. The back row - captain between 2004 and 2010 - started every top-flight game in his first season with the club and was later nominated for the Zurich Player of the Season and the PRA Players' Player of the Year.
An intelligent, skillful and hard-working player, Sanderson always led from the front - both on and off the field - and during the 2009/10 season joined an exclusive club as he celebrated his 200th top-flight appearance.
Sanderson's outstanding contribution during his time at Sixways was rewarded with 16 full England caps. He captained his country during the 2006 Australia tour and was in charge of the triumphant Churchill Cup squad in Canada in 2005.
Sanderson's contribution to rugby is not just limited to action on the field. He has been heavily involved with the players' union, the RPA, and was enlisted by the RFU as a figurehead for their 'Core Values of Rugby' initiative due to his standing in the game.
Head Coach Richard Hill paid tribute to Sanderson's contribution at Warriors and said: "Pat's reputation as a player throughout the game is outstanding and he has been a true leader at Sixways over the years."

Building more homes won't help
Let me see if I get this: In Pasco County home prices are still going down. There is a glut of foreclosed and empty unsold homes. Most homeowners who bought in the last 10 years have mortgages higher than equity.
Services provided by the county have been drastically reduced and fees for everything established or raised (fees are not considered a tax). Want to take the kids to the library? It's closed more than it's open. Want to go the park? Pay the fee.
The Pasco County Commission solution is to encourage the building of more housing by reducing the impact fee. How will the roads, infrastructure, public safety and school costs currently funded by impact fees be paid? For roads, it will be through a new tax called a "mobility fee." For the rest, it won't be funded.
I think I have got it. Our County Commission just voted to let developers build more homes when we have a glut of unsold homes and our property values are falling. Thanks for nothing.

Re: Port Richey noise ordinance
Noise problem has solutions
It's only noisy for people who live near these restaurants and bars in question in Port Richey. And many of the people complaining on a steady basis moved in after the music had been there for years. Should they have known this in advance?
I know that one major complainer moved in just a few years ago across from the Seaside Inn. I live about 1,000 feet from the Seaside Inn and hear nothing from there.
Solving this noise problem is not so difficult if only some of our City Council members would go beyond their comfort zone.
Point speakers away from the water. Also, put speakers in the floor or ceiling so the music travels up or down. Put in more speakers so the patrons hear the music better and you can lower the volume. These work, and there are more.
I suggest you contact me on this noise problem as I have had a jukebox in this area for over 25 years. I'll do it for free, seeing as how the ex-city manager is breaking our city's bank account.

Krewe dishonors first Americans
I honor American Indians by supporting an Indian school, by seeking to overturn an 1823 U.S. Supreme Court decision that denies Indian land claims. I honor them by learning of their history and culture, not by stealing their clothing, their culture and spirituality as the Krewe of Chasco does.
I honor them by continuing my efforts to exclude the Krewe of Chasco from the Chasco Fiesta parade and to encourage them to dress like Florida pioneers, or cattle farmers, or Crackers, rather than our first Americans.
Among those who support my approach are the great nature writer Peter Matthiessen and Lakota activist Russell Means.
A day is coming when the citizens of New Port Richey will say no to the Krewe of Chasco playing Indian and staining their Chasco Fiesta.

Summit, a small supplier of programmable analog ICs for carrier-class networking equipment, has benefited from explosive growth in the telecommunications industry. By focusing on integrating analog functions that can be programmed at the end of the manufacturing process, or in-system by the OEM, Summit has gained the acceptance of such industry leaders as Cisco Systems, Ericsson Radio, PairGain, and Troncom.
As time-to-market pressures bear down on equipment makers, Summit believes its programmable analog solutions will continue to build momentum.
"Adding a financial officer to our staff will help us plan for and guide the expected growth of Summit," said Rick Orlando, president and chief executive of the Campbell, Calif.-based company.
Prior to joining Summit, Miller was vice president and corporate controller of LSI Logic Corp., and also hails from leading analog-chip makers National Semiconductor Corp. and Texas Instruments Inc. Additionally, he has held CFO titles at two private companies.
Miller's extensive background in the semiconductor industry will be critical in Summit's growth, Orlando said.

The Octomom's Kids Have Released a Christmas Song As "The Roctuplets"
As much as I would like to say, "HA! Just Kidding!" I can't. This is happening.
The Octomom is always out to make a quick buck. Instead of selling her body, she is selling her kids. Not literally. But her kids have released a Christmas song called "I'm Ready For Christmas". And yes, the kids have a stage name too, The Roctuplets.
Only 13 of her 14 kids are signing, and obviously the octuplets are the focus of the group. The song is beyond crazy, don't say I didn't warn you!
Click here to check out the video at your own risk. I'd place it in this post, but I've give enough publicity to the Octomom.
I know we normally think it's cute when kids sing songs, but it's hard to see it for what it is when we know it involves the Octomom.
Is the song/video cute or just horrible beyond words?

A grass fire burnt out two hectares of property between Yass and Gunning on Wednesday.
Five tankers and 12 firefighters were sent to extinguish the fire.
A spokeswoman said high winds in the area hampered efforts, but the fire was contained by 9.30am.
The NSW Rural Fire Service was alerted to the blaze, near the intersection of the Hume Highway and Lade Vale Road, at 8.10.
Earlier in the morning all southbound lanes of the highway were closed, but were opened a little later.
At 12.30pm the bulk of the fire was out, and firefighters remained on site, conducting mopping-up operations.
No homes were threatened by the fire.

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Psalm 95:1-6
Dear heavenly Father, there is no other god like you—none so awe-fueling and praise-worthy, absolutely transcendent and imminently engaged, augustly mighty and overflowing with compassion. We praise you for the great works of your hands which are the overflow of the boundless joy of your heart. How can we keep from singing, as we ponder the magnificence of creation?
You have made all things for your glory and for our joy. We praise you for the soul-centering sound of waves crashing on the shorelines of the world; the poly-chromatic splendor of every sunrise and sunset—painted on the living canvas of the horizon; the instinctive "Aahhh" we offer after savoring the first cup of coffee and the last bite of a favorite dessert.
We praise you for the pan-emotive gift of music—the voice of our hearts. For grand symphonies, which take the chaos of random notes and create auditory beauty and harmonic cosmos; for the bluegrass smorgasbord of fiddle, flat-top guitar, dobro, mandolin and harmonica—calculated to get us on the dance floor of life; for the gut-wrenching, story-telling, angst-releasing expression of "the blues"; for the deep roots and improvisational wings of jazz—giving expression to our love for order and our delight in spontaneity.
And, Father, how can we keep from shouting as we reflect on the wonders of our salvation? How appropriate that your Word reveals our redemption as unsearchable riches (Eph. 3:8) and a love beyond knowing (Eph. 3:18-19). Because of what you have done for us in Jesus, we are fully and eternally accepted in the Beloved. We cannot be more loved than we are today and we will never be loved less. The saints in heaven are more happy than we are, but they are not more secure.
Every tear we shed will be redeemed and wiped away; even sin we have committed, or will commit, has already been forgiven and will never be remembered against us; every heartache, heartbreak and hiccup in life will be redeemed.
Death has already died and eternal life has already begun; the evil one has already been defeated and all evil will be terminally eradicated; already your kingdom has come and, most assuredly, it will come in beatific fullness.
Father, we want to kneel before you and dance before you, simultaneously! Is that possible? We want to shout to the Rock of our salvation, and shut up and be still in utter silence—so great is Jesus' glory and grace. You have already made our hearts glad, but with only 2% of the joy we will experience forever. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We love being loved by you, more than anything else we could hope or imagine. So very Amen we pray, in Jesus' exalted and most glorious name.

Camry and Aurion.
Built by Australians for Australians.
Toyota Australia is proud to employ some of the most dedicated, passionate and skillful people in the country. Our employees are the heart and soul of the company. They're the people who build the cars you drive and make the Toyota experience truly special.
There are so many stories, and so much history in the Toyota family. We wanted to tell the stories of the everyday Aussies who build our Toyotas here in Australia. Have a listen to just some of these inspiring stories.
"Even though I'm a small part of seeing something come to life, I'm proud to be that small part."
With sixteen years at Toyota under his belt, Mark is one of the stalwarts of the factory. As Final Assembly Quality Control, his involvement is critical. He takes great pride in knowing that every car that rolls off the production line has been quality checked by him in person.
"My connection with Toyota started before I was born, when my grandfather started working for Toyota."
The matriarch of the Toyota family, Mary has an impressive 50 years of company Christmas parties under her belt, having attended as a child with her family to nowadays organising them herself. Mary's son now works at the factory too, making it four generations of her family to have marched through the factory gates.
"This is our company. We helped make this tick, and this work."
Dalia's first job was hand-sewing the seats of the cars as they made their way down the assembly line. In the 18 years since then she's become an integral part of the Toyota team, seeing her fellow employees as an extension of her own family.
"I want this to be known as my first job and my last job."
Frank's got Toyota in his genes. His old man worked here for over 40 years. After his dad persuaded him to meet with Toyota about a job on his last day of school, Frank figured he'd stick it out for a few months, save some money, buy a car and that'd be it. That was 34 years ago.
"As soon as I walked in, I knew this was where I wanted to be."
A self-proclaimed car nut, Guy's obsession with all things auto was realised when he joined the company over 10 years ago. Guy applies a keen eye for detail to everything he does, ensuring he's proud of every car that leaves the factory on his watch.
"Nothing comes to you. You've got to go and get it. You've got to go after life.."
A born perfectionist, Stan approaches every car on the production line as if it were his own. After painting matchbox cars as a kid, he grew up to hone his skills on the real thing. With a decade at Toyota under his belt, Stan now works on the sealer line.

Timberwolves forward Kevin Love said an X-ray of his right hand will be sent to Dr. Andy Weiland, a hand specialist in New York who examined Love after he broke two bones in his hand last month while doing knuckle push-ups at his home.
Weiland will evaluate the picture to determine the healing progress. Weiland examined Love after he broke the third and fourth metarcarpal bones on Oct. 17 and told Love he did not need surgery.
Love no longer is wearing the protective cast that was placed on his hand. The two-time all-star is doing individual conditioning work but has been prohibited from any contact drills involving his hand.

So, we should know more about this tonight or tomorrow about a more specific return date i'm guessing.

This is sooo interesting! Let's look at where I have been. I come from an Irish potato famine (The Mooney's), Bronx NY landing heritage, but there is another side of me. Lewis is my "Dad's" surname. I wish I knew more about my true bloodline, but I do not. I found out at the age of 42, that my Dad, Dan Lewis, was not my biological father (Ain't that a bitch!), but I'm fine with it. He still taught me quite a bit. For instance, how to hook a worm, how to load a boat onto a trailer, how to drive a Chevy Impala, and how to be … strong in the face of resistance. He was a true Patriot. My Dad retired US Air Force after 20 years in and still worked on the Base many years afterwards. Once I tried to wear a denim jacket with a USA flag patch on it, and he had a fit. "You are not supposed to wear the flag"! I immediately said "OK". He may not have been the best Dad in the world. but he taught me Patriotism. Dan had a temper. Many knew this.., it's almost his patent. But the passion he had for America could not be dismayed. He was a die hard Reagan conservative. At the age of 51, I still thank him, in a quiet and soft way, for helping me understand what this good country stands for. America stands for freedom of speech, caring for one another in a Christian way, helping your fellow man, and taking pride in being a Patriot. With much inspiration and the spur of the current events, I will try my best to stay steady and discuss, what we , as Patriots need to do to keep our country free and proud. Thank You. B

Chewy Gingerbread Molasses Cookies
Recipe by Entropy
These cookies are what Christmas tastes like! This recipe makes a fairly big batch, which is perfect for sharing with friends and guests. If you like thick chewy cookies, it will make about 48. If you like them smaller or thin, it would be most practical to make a half batch, or you'll be cutting out cookies for the whole day! The prep time listed is approximate because the time involved is proportionate to the size of your cookies. You can also prepare the dough ahead of time, freeze it, then bake them later.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 236.59 ml margarine
- 236.59 ml sugar
- 236.59 ml molasses
- 59.14 ml water
- 1182.95 ml flour
- 7.39 ml baking soda
- 14.79 ml ginger (or to taste)
- 14.79 ml cinnamon (or to taste)
- 4.92 ml allspice (or to taste)
Directions See How It's Made
- Place margarine in large mixing bowl; soften it in a microwave for a few seconds.
- Cream sugar and margarine; add molasses and water.
- Combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice.
- Add to the mixing bowl; mix together.
- Let dough cool, covered, in freezer for at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll out dough; cut out with cookie cutters.
- If the cookies are thin, bake for 6 minutes.
- If cookies are thick, bake for 8 minutes.
- Cookies will appear slightly underbaked but that's what makes them taste so good and chewy!
- Cool cookies on a wire rack.
- These cookies stand their own without frosting, but if you want to frost them, mix a cup of powdered sugar with a little water to make frosting. Draw a few accent lines or dots on the cookies.

Celebrity vs Princess - a Toss Up: Celebrity Equinox Cruise Review by sjredel
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity vs Princess - a Toss Up
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
I am a cabin research nut and last year I set my sights on getting one of the hump cabin with the largest balcony. I booked (six plus months ahead) cabin 9237, a 1A, on the port side and near the main elevators. It's the first balcony on the aft side of the hump, as the cabins start to return to the ship, and it's reported to be the largest of the hump balconies.
This year I didn't start booking until a little over three months ahead, and the best I could find was a C2, cabin 2111. It's on the hump, but on deck 12 and it's More has the big overhang from the deck above. Also, it's the last hump cabin before the cabins straighten out again -- so the balcony is not quite the biggest and I wasn't 100% happy. So, I kept checking every day or two on Travelocity to see if any better cabins would become available. About a week later cabin 9241 became available. Also a C2, so I made the switch. Same cabin category, and since I booked through Celebrity, it just took a phone call. I still kept checking every few days and about 10 days later cabin 1243 became available and I quickly made the call to book it. We ended up in the exact same position on the ship as last year's cabin 9237, but one deck up in cabin 1243. Hot damn.
I should say that my wife and I are both 60-something, and both love cruising --especially me. Can't get enough of it. My wife likes some land based vacations too, but I'm always lobbying to get on a ship and go somewhere. We are as different as night and day in that she wants to be "surprised" and doesn't want to know anything about the ship, ports, details. So guess who does all the planning?
As you can see, this may, rather, will, be a lengthy review -- it's still 30 days till we leave. I keep an eye on the countdown clock I put on my desktop. More to come.
Well, the 30 days came and went, and we returned 1/11/2013 from a fantastic cruise! We flew to Fort Lauderdale and stayed at the Airport Hilton. It was just okay, and was pretty expensive for a simple overnight stay. The service was sub-par, which is unusual for a Hilton hotel. I booked a "pre-cruise package" which included a shuttle to the cruise port. We signed up for the 10:30 shuttle, but it was full and they bumped us to the next one, so we got to the port around 11:15.
The embarkation process was smooth with no waiting at all, and in 15 minutes we were on the ship. I was looking forward to the welcome aboard drink, but they pointed us to a rear gangway and we missed it -- no problem -- I found my way to the main gangway and grabbed a tray, rather glass, of bubbly.
As usual, the Oceanview Cafe was very crowded on embarkation day and it was tough to find a table, but we did and then enjoyed a great lunch. My take on the Oceanview Cafe was that it couldn't have been better. Great food with a wide variety, and I especially liked the "food islands" instead of a long cafeteria line. We had most breakfasts and lunches here and were very satisfied. Actually, most of my lunches were the fantastic burgers from the Mast Grill, which I would take to the Oceanview Cafe to have lunch with my wife.
The Equinox is an absolutely beautiful ship, and I would say it is the most clean and best designed ship we sailed on. It is classy and elegant everywhere you look, with a lot of stainless steel and a warm, upscale design. We really liked that the ship doesn't bombard you with loud music or announcements -- it's a very relaxed atmosphere. The pool area was comfortable and usually quiet, and it was always easy to find a recliner. The ship should be "known for its shade" since there are large canvas overhangs to protect those that want to be out of the direct sun.
Cabin 1243 was just like all the other balcony cabins -- nice and modern and we found the bed comfortable, and the cabin had adequate storage with a great TV. Don't forget that you can pull the TV out from the wall and angle it toward the bed - our TV took a lot of pulling to get it unclipped from being "flat to the wall", with my wife saying over and over "you'll break it, you'll break it". The extra large balcony was really huge - a good two or three times the size of the standard balcony. This worked great to keep you out of the sun if you wanted, or to be able to still use the balcony when a little rain would come through. One problem in the cabin was the closet, it was very difficult to use effectively because of the sliding doors. Even when one or the other door was fully open, most of the closet was covered by the overlapping doors, so it was hard to get to the stuff inside.
Regarding the "concierge class", I didn't think the perks were really worth much. Of course, these cabins are usually in preferred locations and we appreciated that our cabin was centrally located and close to the elevators, so you may want a concierge class cabin, mainly for the location.
This was an 11 day cruise, and we'd been to Cozumel and Costa Maya several times, so we didn't get off the ship there. Even in Costa Rica, we got off the ship and realized we forgot to bring money, so we got back on and decided just to stay there. No shore excursions at the first three stops. In Panama, we took the shore excursion called "Expansion of the Panama Canal - The Present and the Future". I can highly recommend this exclusion - it was very informative and interesting. They first took us by bus to a new visitor center that overlooks the canal expansion project. After that, we were taken to a visitor center at the Gatun lock and saw a ship going through. In Cartagena, Columbia we just went to the visitors area and did some shopping, then had ship withdrawal, and back to the Equinox. We took a cab to the beach in Cayman and dodged raindrops -- still fun and relaxing.
We had a table for two in the Silhouette dining room (early dining option) and had every dinner there but one. On our anniversary, we enjoyed dinner at the Tuscan Grill. I've got to tell you, if you are planning to enjoy a dinner at one of the specialty restaurants, you should force yourself to not eat a lot before you go. The food at the Tuscan Grill was excellent, but we couldn't enjoy it fully since we didn't have the stomach capacity and were pretty full after the appetizer and soup. Also, I was looking forward to the great view of the wake from the Tuscan Grill -- but I'd made a reservation after sunset and all we saw was our reflection in the window.
We couldn't help but compare the Celebrity product with Princess, and I was expecting to be wowed by Celebrity. However, I think both cruise lines are very comparable. The staff on Celebrity was friendly, but I was expecting (from other reviews) that they would be bending over backwards to make us happy. A couple of examples of where they came up short are: one night at dinner I told the waiter couldn't decide between two appetizers, expecting him to say I'll bring you both. Instead, he said I'll come back later when you've decided. I know I could've asked for both, but I thought he was abrupt and bordering on unfriendly. Also, since we had booked a concierge class cabin, I knew we would get a bottle of champagne on arrival. When the cabin steward introduce himself, I asked if there was any way we could substitute a bottle of wine for the champagne which neither my wife nor I like. His response was not "I'll be glad to check on this request", instead he said "that's not something I can do -- I just clean the room". He did say I could call the concierge and I gave her a call the next day and got a voicemail where I left a message asking for a call back -- which never came. No big deal, but we ended up leaving the bottle of champagne unopened in the room. I could give you six or eight other examples, but I don't want to seem picky. I sure expected a little more friendliness and "can do" attitude, which definitely wasn't there.
Overall, we really enjoyed our cruise and it gave us just what we wanted -- relaxation and rejuvenation, we'll probably sail again on Celebrity and give them a second chance to "wow" us, but if Princess has a better price or itinerary I'll book with Princess. Less

Cabin review: C21243 Concierge Class
Cabin 1243 is really a great cabin. HUGH balcony which is protected from the wind and has a great view. It's very convenient to the elevators and a short walk to the library. It was quiet, even though there is a crew closet outside the door, and the hallway was sometimes blocked by crew carts. It's next to the Royal Suite, so there could be some party noise (but we didn't hear any). I'm convinced this is one of the best balcony cabins on the ship.Read All Concierge Class (C2) Reviews >>

No surprise here. Picked up his $2.9M option, per ESPN Insider
Interesting, the Pacers get to use the amnesty twiceDahntay Jones owns a $2.9 million player option for next season and Tuesday he exercised it.
"He had a great time the last year," agent Mark Bartelstein told Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports Florida. "We'll see what the future holds. He's excited."
Now that Jones is under contract for next season, he can now be traded before July 1. The Pacers can also use the amnesty provision on him if the teams wants to increase their 2012-13 cap room.
Should the Pacers keep him, Jones will provide depth at shooting guard and small forward.
