THE Bishop of Worcester has asked people to pray for his wife as she battles inoperable cancer.
Denise Inge, the wife of the Right Reverend Dr John Inge, is receiving treatment in the sarcoma unit of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.
The 50-year-old mother-oftwo was suffering with abdominal difficulties for a month or so before an MRI scan in May revealed the sarcoma.
An honorary fellow in early modern research at the University of Worcester and a leading authority on Thomas Traherne, an English poet, clergyman, theologian and religious writer, she is now receiving what the bishop has described as heavy-duty chemotherapy in the hope that it will shrink the sarcoma in her abdomen sufficiently for surgery to be reconsidered.
A day of prayer will be held at Worcester Cathedral on Friday, July 12. Bishop John said he was praying for a miracle of healing and that he was in the midst of a nightmare.
"How quickly life can change. Only six weeks ago I had lots to enjoy and thought I had enough to worry about with my duties as a bishop, husband and father of two wonderful daughters.
"And then the unthinkable happened – my dear wife Denise was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. At the moment the news was given nearly three weeks ago, my life changed forever."
Bishop John is receiving support from his colleagues in the diocese, particularly the assistant bishops, and has tried to carry out as many of his duties as he possibly can.
But he has decided to cut down on some of his national work connected to the House of Lords and the General Synod so he can be near his wife of 24 years and the couple's daughters – Eleanor, aged 14, and Olivia, nine.
The family has also received messages of support from well-wishers.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has already visited the couple since the diagnosis and a spokesman said he was keeping in frequent touch.
The Archbishop of York John Sentamu, who has had an operation for prostate cancer, drove to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital to see Mrs Inge as soon as he could.
Now the Rt Rev David Walker, the Bishop of Dudley, is inviting everyone in the diocese to set aside time on Friday, July 12, as a special day of prayer.
He said some may wish to pray quietly at home. Others may wish to meet as a group in their parish. For those within reach of the Cathedral, the crypt will be set aside from 7.30am to 7.30pm and there will be a special celebration of the Eucharist at 1.05pm.
Some may choose to spend part of the day fasting as well as praying, which in scripture often go together.

Just six months on from last summer's devastating floods, families are once again bracing themselves for more potential flooding. We share your fears for the safety of people's homes and their loved ones.
Our volunteers are on stand-by throughout Gloucestershire and the rest of the UK, ready to assist those in need. However, while the emergency services and other agencies will undoubtedly do all they can to protect people, there are also practical steps individuals can take to avoid risk and keep themselves safe.
Packing essential items such as medication and clothing, emptying freezers and refrigerators, steering clear of floodwater, and refraining from the use of electrical appliances are all simple procedures that can do a lot to prevent unnecessary harm and suffering. Further tips on staying safe can be found at www.redcross.org.uk As the UK's largest voluntary emergency response organisation, the British Red Cross is on-hand to provide practical and emotional support for those affected, and ensure those at risk know what to do when disaster strikes.

Transaction Action
AL West Moves
Purchased the contract of LF-R Chris Pettit from Salt Lake (Triple-A); recalled RHP Rafael Rodriguez, C-R Ryan Budde, OF-R Terry Evans, and UT-S Freddy Sandoval from Salt Lake. [9/8]
It's not a meaningless bunch, but there's some disappointment to be found in these ranks. First off, there's Evans, who was briefly a prospect when he busted out big-time in the Cardinals' system in 2006 as a 24-year-old organizational player, belting 22 homers in 81 games to garner enough attention that he brought the Birds back subsequent post-season hero Jeff Weaver in a mid-year deal. Evans hasn't really pushed the agenda any further since, having stalled out at Triple-A as a Juan Rivera Lite type, right down to losing a big chunk of time in 2008 to injury. This year was his age-27 season, and spending it in Utah hitting .291/.341/.520 (and .279/.322/.482 away from the hive in the rest of the still hitter-friendly PCL). To really let the air out of his numbers, his year translates to .234/.282/.425, or somewhere between Mark Brouhard and Dante Bichette on the utility scale for right fielders. Similarly, Freddy Sandoval also recently turned 27 and can't really play an up-the-middle position, so he's being rewarded as the good soldier, not because he has a future. Pettit's younger, having turned 25 in August, and his power was almost entirely a mountain country fiction as well. Rafael Rodriguez? Still live-armed, certainly, but 'non-premium role relief prospect' looks like an oxymoron just after typing it. Which leaves Budde, and not even the odd Claggart would envy a third catcher aspirant unlikely to ever graduate to the Internation Brotherhood of Backup Backstops.
Optioned 1B-R Tommy Everidge to Sacramento (Triple-A); recalled UT-L Eric Patterson from Sacramento. [8/28]
Recalled LHPs Jerry Blevins and Dana Eveland from Sacramento (Triple-A); purchased the contract of LHP Brad Kilby from Sacramento. [9/1]
Activated INF-R Bobby Crosby from the 15-day DL; claimed RHP Jonathan Meloan off of waivers from the Pirates, and assigned him to Sacramento. [9/2]
Recalled RHP Clayton Mortensen from Sacramento. [9/4]
Purchased the contract of 1B/C-L Eric Munson from Sacramento; transferred LHP Dallas Braden from the 15- to the 60-day DL. [9/11]
Prospect-hungry A's fans waiting and wondering where Chris Carter, Brett Wallace, or even Adrian Cardenas might be have to live with the knowledge that they're all at an entirely disclosed location: the PCL playoffs. The River Cats will be going up against Memphis in the finals, having eliminated Tacoma in four games in the best-of-five series. Less prospect-y is Sacramento's rotation: Chris Gissell, Chad Reineke, Jerome Williams, and Shawn Chacon. Reineke and Williams are the "kids" in the quartet, since they're only 27, while Gissell and Chacon are already over 30. Indeed, Gissell "only" has six almost-full years of service in Triple-A because he spent two years pitching for Seibu in the Japanese leagues. None of which meant as a knock on any member of the foursome; all could be employable fifth starters in a big-league rotation, and Chacon might even rate as a fourth if not for his career-altering run-ins with authority. But all four clearly represent Triple-A's status as the game's great holding tank for big-league filler, and they'll have to settle for seeing if they can run up another PCL pennant for the greater glory of Sacramento before taking their chances as free agents this winter.
In the meantime, there are those who won't get glory on some Triple-A diamond, and will have to instead get by with the season's waning action in the majors.
"Lucky Number" Blevins didn't have a great campaign in Sacramento, having struggled to show any kind of the normally anticipated situational value you might expect from a side-arming southpaw; at this point 26-year-old organizational soldier Brad Kilby might be a better bet to stick around, having gotten this far with a nifty slider to power 77 strikeouts against 23 walks in 64
As far as the position players, that's a little more simple, in that Kurt Suzuki's been running out of steam, hitting just .234/.260/.404 since the calendar flipped to August, so Munson gives them a body to turn to if Landon Powell has to come out of one of his starts behind the plate. The decision to bring back Patterson might have been a happy turn on a couple of levels, not just because it was made with an eye towards leaving first base to Daric Barton the rest of the way, but since he's only up to watch Ryan Sweeney get the majority of starts in right field, and without there being any actual fulfillment of the suggestion from a few months back that he might be converted into the A's-flavored alternative to Chone Figgins in a super-utility role, it's just a wasted promise so far.
Placed 1B-L Russell Branyan on the 15-day DL (herniated disk); recalled RHP Chris Jakubauskas from Tacoma (Triple-A). [8/29]
Activated 3B-R Adrian Beltre from the 15-day DL; recalled LHP Jason Vargas and 1B/OF-L Mike Carp from Tacoma. [9/1]
Recalled RHP Brandon Morrow from Tacoma. [9/8]
Released RHP Stephen Kahn; recalled LHP Garrett Olson, C-R Adam Moore, and 3B-R Matt Tuiasosopo from Tacoma. [9/13]
Tacoma went down hard in the PCL playoffs, but then again, they had to make do without Carp or Vargas or Morrow, so it wasn't like the Mariners were really letting the Rainiers be in it to win it. In Branyan's absence, it would be nice to see them give Carp some more time at first base than they have, but they've been bouncing in Jack Hannahan and Josh Wilson and Bill Hall and other such mission-critical luminaries in the lineup, as if September really was nothing more than spring training, leading to frivolous assignments like Jose Lopez's starts at first base. Carp didn't have a tremendous year for Tacoma, hitting .271/.372/.446 (and .272/.382/.477 against right-handers) in his age-23 season, but as a June 30 baby he's the youngest possible age-23 season kid, so it isn't like he's a Triple-A old-timer. Not that the Mariners shouldn't be more interested in re-signing Russell Branyan, but it would be worth reviewing what Carp's capable of right now.
Similarly, Tuiasasopo would stand a good look at third base, especially if the Mariners were out of the market for bringing back Beltre as a free agent; this latest throwin' Samoan managed to hit .281/.395/.518 in the second half after coming back from his early-season elbow surgery, which would suggest he's going to be worth looking at for the starting role next spring at the latest; you already know what myrmidons ranging from Beltre's expense to Hannahan's carbon-based existence will do for you.
The guy who shouldn't be forgotten about in all of this is Morrow, still. He's back and still starting, having done nothing but for the Rainiers. No doubt Mariners fans in attendance were stunned by the complete-game shutout with two strikeouts and a walk he worked against Iowa in Tacoma on August 14, since it didn't involve any of the wild wooliness we've come to associate with the right- hander. He wasn't overworked, not even in that game, throwing just 96 pitches, and never topping 90 in his four subsequent turns (or getting through the sixth inning, for that matter). It remains to be seen what the team does with him, but he's still starting, he's going to keep starting, and given that he's being tasked with pushing past the likes of back-end candidates like Doug Fister, "Mr." Lucas French, and "Alberto" Vargas, it would seem premature to despair overmuch. No, he's not going to be Tim Lincecum, but that doesn't make him useless.
Activated UT-R Esteban German and LHP Eddie Guardado from the 15-day DL; activated RHP Brandon McCarthy from the 60-day DL; recalled RHPs Warner Madrigal and Guillermo Moscoso and OF-S Brandon Boggs from Oklahoma City; purchased the contract of OF-R Craig Gentry from Frisco (Double-A); re-purchased the contract of C-R Kevin Richardson from Oklahoma City (Triple-A); designated RHP Thomas Diamond for assignment. [9/1]
Activated C-S Jarrod Saltalamacchia from the 15-day DL. [9/2]
Lost RHP Thomas Diamond on a waiver claim by the Cubs; recalled RHP Willie Eyre from Oklahoma City; traded OF-L Tim Smith and C-R Manuel Pina to the Royals for RHP Danny Gutierrez. [9/4]
Activated OF-R Andruw Jones from the 15-day DL. [9/8]
Most of these reinforcements aren't here for much more than back-slapping and butt-patting. Sure, Salty's "back," but in more of a witnessing role, having not caught a game since his reactivation, and playing once. Similarly, Jones has a lone start under his belt since being brought back. German's playing a good amount of third since Michael Young's breakdown, and he's been doing his thing by working his way on base, but he's pretty much the exception. Even in the outfield, with Josh Hamilton also shelved, most of the resulting open playing time's just going to Julio Borbon and David Murphy instead of picking between them, while Marlon Byrd plays center every day.
The difference is on the pitching side of the slate, not that relievers like Madrigal or Moscoso will get employed in key roles. No, what's actually up is Brandon McCarthy getting dropped back into the rotation in Dustin Nippert's place. Since both are bobbing around .500 in Support-Neutral Winning Percentage, that's as much a matter of preference as anything else, since it shouldn't necessarily make the difference in the increasingly desperate bid for the wild-card slot.

saying that McCarthy has been a .500 pitcher is a bit unfair. Since his return he's been pretty effective. (yes, his last game was 5 runs in 6.1 innings, but it should have only been 3 runs in 6.1 innings, as two runs should have been charged to Ron Washington. Bringing in Eddie Guardado with one out and men on second and third, Washington was lucky when Every-day Eddie only allowed the guys on base to score, and not the guy at the plate, the guy on deck, and a couple of bat-boys while only facing one batter. Yes, he's been THAT bad.)
Sep 14, 2009 13:39 PM
Referring the Eddie Guardado's performance when talking about Brandon McCarthy's performance makes me think that you might need to visit the glossary and see what Support Neutral Winning Percentage means.
Sep 14, 2009 14:44 PM
Yes, yes, but there is something to be said for watching the games. McCarthy is the better pitcher if you have to choose between he and Nippert. Maybe we can factor in some Pitch/FX data to get a rounder read on things.
Sep 14, 2009 19:57 PM
Who says we don't watch the games? And are we talking about the same Brandon McCarthy who delivered five quality starts (one blown) in his 11 before his disappearance onto the DL? As I said up front, it isn't Nippert who represented a major problem any more than McCarthy represents a notable upgrade *in that particular exchange*. Better we stick to the point about Holland, since he's a month removed from his last quality start despite being given extra rest between some turns, and since, unlike talk of pulling Millwood, that has a chance of being readily explicable to the players for reasons beyond corrosive accusations of option-dodging.
Sep 14, 2009 22:17 PM
A little late but: Oops, that wasn't a criticism of you CK<3. I was speaking to the 2 initial comments in the idea that fear and frustration caused by watching someone like Guardado (or say AHeilman) come in and blow up a good afternoons' work outweighs looking at Support Neutral Winning Percentage. At least sometimes.
Sep 15, 2009 14:07 PM
No worries, your point's taken, I was just making a blanket response to the quixotic campaign to promote the virtues of the great Brandon McCarthy. I know it's been a while since Texas has seen adequacy on the mound, but frothy enthusiasm for it? Who needs a Rangers meringue for fourth or fifth starter types?
Sep 15, 2009 21:54 PM
Christina, can you please stop writing like some word-crazed bureaucrat? The following sentence about the M's has so many words in it I don't even want to try counting it!

Police superintendent denies Ballarat has violent crime problem
An article in the Sunday Age has reported that Ballarat has a serious crime problem. It quoted Victoria Police statistics that showed there had been 774 assaults reported in 12 months, not including 540 reports of family violence. The article also identified a dramatic increase in rape figures, and quoted Bendigo's statistics that showed there had been 190 fewer assaults there, despite the fact it is a larger city. In a statement sent to ABC Local Radio, Ballarat's police Superintendent Andrew Allen described the report's claims as "sensational" and "alarmist".

- Permalink
Superintendent Allen says it was disappointing the reporter involved didn't contact the police to check the facts, given police statistics were used as the basis of the report.
"The result of this, in my view, is an unbalanced report which contains assertions which are not only out of context, but incorrect.
"Assaults in Ballarat have recorded a slight increase over the last twelve months of just under one assault in a public place per week."
He says it's possible that increases in statistics are due to increased reporting of crimes to the police.
"Since the formation of the Ballarat Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) in 2011, rape and sex offences reports have increased significantly which indicates there is more confidence amongst victims to report offences."
Superintendent Allen says the article is not reflective of the current situation in Ballarat.
"We are one of Victoria's largest regional growing cities and I am confident that Ballarat is a safe place in which to live and attend entertainment precincts."
He says an incident that is highlighted in the report regarding two young men being assaulted in a nightclub was never reported to police.
"I encourage anyone who has been the victim of an assault to report it to police as that is the only way we are able to resolve these issues."
Ballarat Mayor John Burt responds
Cr John Burt told ABC Local Radio's Steve Martin the report could seriously harm Ballarat's reputation.
"I was a bit upset to be perfectly honest.
"Yes, we've had two or three incidents this year that we could have done without and I'm ashamed they did happen, but to generalise the way the reporter has generalised I think is very unfair."
Cr Burt says the reporter quoted Ballarat councillor John Phillips, despite the fact he didn't contact Cr Phillips directly.
"Cr Phillips may have made a comment in the past about our growth and that sort of thing but there was no direct contact with the reporter. I'm not sure where he got it from.
"So information that is quoted is not correct."
He says he would question the relevance and accuracy of the report.
"From the last report from the superintendent of Ballarat Police, Ballarat's figures are on the improve.
"The overall perspective in comparison to other cities I can't comment on because I don't know, but I believe that we are no worse than anywhere else."
Students express safety concerns
Aubrey Flood is the chairperson of the student senate at Ballarat University and was quoted in the report in the Sunday Age.
She told Steve Martin Ballarat definitely has a crime problem.
"When we arrive at our university one of the first things we're told is how dangerous city life can be and to never walk home alone."
She says she knows of at least four instances in the past few years of unprovoked attacks on university students on their way home.
She says she feels unsafe in some parts of the city at night.
"Walking home by yourself in the dark on the rare occasions that it has to happen can be very frightening for many students, myself included.
"You can just feel in the air there's a sense you're not sure what's going to happen because a lot of the attacks are unprovoked."
Ms Flood says it's not only on weekends when violence is an issue.
"We've had instances where girls have been chased while they're riding their bikes home and it hasn't even been dark yet.
"I think the issue stems from something deeper than just violence. It stems from something, I believe, within the community."

Expert publishing blog opinions are solely those of the blogger and not necessarily endorsed by DBW.
With the conclusion of the 2013 American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting earlier this week, Seattle has returned to its normal contingent of librarians. (As an aside, Seattle is a special place for librarians, as it is the home of the iconic Seattle Public Library building and the former Gates Library Foundation, now expanded to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.)
These ALA conferences are always hectic, full of committee meetings, public sessions, and small group meetings, but in the past year or so, the conferences have been especially crazy for me (thank you publishers!).
So what happened that may be of interest to Digital Book World readers? Well, I am pleased to have a distinguished guest provide some perspectives from Seattle. Sari Feldman, Executive Director of the Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Public Library and Co-chair of ALA's Digital Content & Libraries Working Group (DCWG), provides the following report.
Ruminations from Sari Feldman
To nobody's surprise, library access to e-books was a key topic in Seattle. For the DCWG, it came up in five different contexts:
- Two public programs that featured panelists Linda Crowe and Heather Teysko (Califa Library Group), George Coe (Baker & Taylor), Matt Tempelis (3M), Jamie LaRue (Douglas County (Colo.) Libraries), Robert Wolven (Columbia University), Alan S. Inouye (ALA), and me.
- Multiple business meetings of the DCWG and its subgroups.
- ALA involvement in the Pew Internet Project surveys on libraries and digital content, OCLC Big Shift Initiative, and the ReadersFirst Initiative, all of which had major meetings or public programs.
- Small group meetings with vendors and experts.
- Informal conversations with conference attendees (which numbered over 10,000).
The Big Six are Still Big (Even If Five or Four)
The ability to provide library patrons with Big Six e-titles remains a high priority. We have reason to be somewhat optimistic in 2013, based both on statements from our panelists, as well as our discussions with publishers and distributors in small group meetings, and the Macmillan announcement from last week. That said, while we anticipate some progress overall, the offered pricing may well continue to be unfavorable, and with only one option per publisher (whether perpetual license, 26 circulations, one year, or two years). As libraries have varied needs and circumstances, we would like several options per publisher and, preferably, with the options somewhat comparable across publishers. ALA anticipates that continued, or stepped up, advocacy will be necessary in 2013.
Frustrated Librarians Also Looking for Alternatives
We talked with many librarians from every part of the country, and they are frustrated with the pace of change and with the specific offerings as suggested above. Hence, there is growing interest in e-titles from mid-sized and small publishers and self-published works. How can we establish an improved infrastructure to enable easier library access to these titles? Thus, there is growing interest in the "Douglas County Model" and Califa and how these ideas and systems may be further disseminated and evolved in the library community.
The library as publisher also is receiving increased interest. It is not a new idea; for example, take a look at the work of the Sacramento (Calif.) Public Library. But currently, it is a niche phenomenon—should ALA aggressively promote ways libraries may take on this role across the country?
It is true that Big Six ebook terms are motivating libraries to consider alternatives. But libraries should consider these alternatives anyway because the digital context enables many new possibilities to improve patron services, and libraries should be re-evaluating their core assumptions about how to work. Naturally, libraries will end up in different places based on their local situations—we only ask that they ask what's now (and can be) possible and what's best for them now and for the years ahead.
Other Terms of Engagement
In 2012, ALA focused on the two most fundamental issues—the availability of e-books to libraries and, if available, at what price? But we have understood that ALA must broaden its focus to include other issues. Thus, on the eve of the conference, the DCWG released "Ebook Business Models: A Scorecard for Public Libraries," a guide that helps librarians consider and evaluate the breadth of important characteristics, not just basic availability and pricing.
A number of library community leaders stated that preservation and access for people with disabilities should receive more attention. An important role of libraries in society is stewardship of the cultural record for the long term. Current business models do not enable us to fulfill this role. We have already begun work on the accessibility issue, but will give it greater prominence in the coming months. In addition, the DCWG will continue our work focused on the school library sector and engaging authors, and spool up discussions on privacy concerns.
The DCWG also will continue its efforts to increase the awareness and understanding of the libraries' value in bringing new authors and titles to readers who otherwise might not know of them. Such discoverability—often in partnership with publishers—for print books has been a key part of libraries and the ecosystem of books and publishing for decades—through multiple mechanisms such as book displays in the library, support for book groups, hosting of author talks, running childrens' storytelling activities or just librarians making recommendations to their patrons. We are in the early stages of considering what libraries can do to bring authors and readers together in the e-book era, but we are optimistic of the prospects, leveraging the nearly 17,000 public libraries in the United States (and well over 100,000 libraries of all types).
Some Last Thoughts
The DCWG will continue to explore larger ideas. The notion that the e-book solution is to replicate the characteristics of the print book ecosystem (and the print book as a static information object) to the maximum extent may be the only practical approach for the short run—and libraries will continue to participate in these efforts. However, we can surely do better than that in the long run.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Jul 1, 2014.
QuestionI just inherited $100,000. What is best thing to do with it? I have $100,000 ira account, $15,000 in savings and owe $101,000 on a townhome. I am divorced.
Hi. I am always a fan of paying of debt, especially when you have an unexpected windfall. There are 2 reasons. First, paying off debt is a sure thing. When you pay off debt, you increase your monthly cash flow and increase your long term wealth by the interest savings. The second reason is that you may never get the chance to pay off your house again. Good luck!

I am working on a project to find a corrosion resistant coating system for steel. The product is a refrigerator cabinet. The requirement for the product is that the steel cabinet of the refrigerator, which is made from sheet steel, needs to pass a 500-hour salt spray exposure test without any corrosion. Could you tell me if it is possible to get a coating system that will pass this test? How should I prepare the steel and what coating system should I use? D.G.
Not only is it possible, but it's done commercially all the time. You must clean the steel to remove contaminants such as oily soils and corrosion products. Next, pretreat the cleaned steel surface with an iron phosphate. Although zinc phosphates provide better corrosion protection than iron phosphates, with the following organic coating system applied over an iron phosphate you will be able to pass the 500-hour salt spray requirement:
• After pretreatment apply an epoxy primer.
• The epoxy primer can be topcoated with either a thermosetting acrylic or polyurethane enamel. Both the acrylic and polyurethane enamels will provide the abrasion and mar resistance required for a refrigerator finish.

my daughter is 3 months old and has a tooth poking through i got her baby origell an everything but has any one elses kids been teething so early? she is already trying to stand and sit on her own..she seems so advanced an it scares me
Shoot at birth dd could lift her head and that amazed the doctors. She started teething about 3 months old. Many babies are even born with teeth thanks to us taking vitamins while pregnant. Talk to her doctor the next well check up about milestones.
My middle child was like that. He had teeth early too. It made for a long teething process for him, but we got through it with lots of frozen wash cloths for him to chew on.
Yes, but my pediatrician said Oragel can actually make it harder for them to cut in those teeth because it toughens up the gums. Try teethers instead.

Buddha's Belly: Yakisoba and Chefs Hang-out
Last night at Eva, chef-owner Mark Gold was in fine form, greeting guests and chatting table-side on the third night since his new Beverly Boulevard restaurant opened. "You know, I wouldn't have ordered that," he said, considering the plates of foie gras with summer melon and maple, and Hokkaido scallops with chorizo and orange at our table. "Next time you're here we'll just go across the street." What? Turns out Gold probably eats more meals at Buddha's Belly, which is just on the other side of Beverly, than he does at his own restaurant. Wonder if Neal Fraser, whose restaurants BLD and Grace are a few doors east of Eva, hangs out there too.
Where to find Mark Gold if he's not at his own place
Buddha's Belly: 7475 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles; (323)931-8588.
Eva: 7458 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles; (323) 634-0700.

What Idols 69 is offering is a large collection of videos and photo sets featuring native Japanese babes in all kinds of hardcore porn. From sex scenes to bukkake orgies, you get it all as well as access to the entire All Japanese Pass network, which brings you over 20 more sites. You also get it all for a discount, which is never a bad thing, am I right?
Loads of Content
With over 13,000 videos and more than 400 photo sets Idols69 will surely keep most of you busy for quite a while. And, yes, many of the scenes are taken from DVDs and are not exclusive, but they're still hot.
Some Exclusive Content
According to the site, they do actually film some of the content themselves and that means you'll find exclusive scenes among the thousands available.
Other Good Stuff:
Unclear Update Schedule
Given that there are about 2,500 more videos available now than when we were last here I can say that the site is updating. However, since I can't find any dates on anything, I can't tell you how frequently it's happening these days.
Censored Genitalia
Now, I'm sure many of you expect the pixilated penises and pussies when you watch native Japanese porn, but that doesn't mean it still isn't a negative!
Minor Negatives:
A huge collection of authentic Japanese porn.
There are some issues with the navigation and most of the collection is taken from DVDs rather than being exclusive. However, having this many scenes featuring native Japanese girls in authentic Japanese porn is definitely going to appeal to many people. The fact that much of it looks great is also a plus - as is the TBP price discount.

Sources say the actress pierces her nipples for a topless scene, but a rep for the film refuses to confirm or deny the claims.
Rooney Mara has reportedly dyed her hair jet black and had her nipples pierced to fully transform herself into "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)". Rooney has been cast as tortured computer hacker Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood adaptation of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy movie, a role previously played by Noomi Rapace in the original Swedish film.
A picture of Mara with a pierced lip leaked online earlier this month, prompting speculation the actress was undergoing an image transformation to physically resemble Salander, who is described as looking anorexic in the book. And now sources tell the New York Post director David Fincher has made Mara bleach her eyebrows, dye her light brown hair dark, and even pierce her nipples for a topless scene.
A spokesperson for the film has refused to confirm or deny the claims, but the rep insists, "She's going to look like the character as described in the novels."

Optimal CEO Compensation with Search: Theory and Empirical Evidence
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Full Text HTML
- Author(s): MELANIE CAO, RONG WANG
- Published: Sep 10, 2013
- Pages: 2001-2058
- DOI: 10.1111/jofi.12069
We integrate an agency problem into search theory to study executive compensation in a market equilibrium. A CEO can choose to stay or quit and search after privately observing an idiosyncratic shock to the firm. The market equilibrium endogenizes CEOs' and firms' outside options and captures contracting externalities. We show that the optimal pay‐to‐performance ratio is less than one even when the CEO is risk neutral. Moreover, the equilibrium pay‐to‐performance sensitivity depends positively on a firm's idiosyncratic risk and negatively on the systematic risk. Our empirical tests using executive compensation data confirm these results.

I'm not sure, whether I can agree to your logic.
First of all: No big corporate, especially highly successful ones such as Apple or Google, will adjust their pricing based on emails, reviews and actions like that. They will act according to their business plan and carefully analyse sales figures, target groups and stuff.
Second of all: I'm pretty sure, the people nagging in those reviews are nowhere near the focus groups of Google or Apple.
a.) Corporates won't care much about people, nagging about book prices and maybe buying 10 books per year. They will focus on buyers, spending hundreds of Dollars per month, not the ones nitpicking about cents. As always: The 20% that generate 80% of the profits.
b.) We can be sure: The pricing is no coincidence. It's based on highly specific analyses and statistics. There are no accidents. And the prices are no sole decision of Steve Jobs and the likes but are based on historic data of the publishing industry for example over decades.
And last but not least:
I don't get the feeling, those reviewers actually have a cause and want to change things.
Their tone is more of the quality of "why doesn't everybody drive a Porsche".
If one wants to change things, he wouldn't make nonsensical comparisons such us "the price for renting the movie is about the same as buying a used DVD".
Statements like that are about as valid as arguments like "I can drive from Munich to Berlin by train for 40 Euro. Why is a Mercedes so expensive then? Way too expensive".
All true. But there are aspects such as convenience: Downloading a movie might be easier and more convenient than buying a DVD. And I can watch the movie everywhere on every gadget instead of needing a DVD player. And why compare to a used product?
Someone making such simplified statements as mentioned in my original post doesn't want to change anything. And they're not interested in the product at all. They just want to address their aggression.
When planning my last vacation, I stumbled over a hotel asking for 500 Euro per night.
I couldn't see, why they ask that much. Neither location nor interior seemed to allow for that price, not even close.
Why should I bother to discuss or question their price?
Maybe they go bankrupt in a year, maybe the owners will be billionaires by then.
Who cares?
It was worth nowhere close to 500 Euro for me, so I chose another hotel.
Problem solved, all happy.
For the original example of eBooks or movies, this would mean: If Google is too expensive, buy or rent from Apple or Amazon then. If all ask for about the same, there's probably a reason for that. And if it's still too expensive for you: Buy your DVD then, where's the problem? Or let it be altogether. Not everyone can be a house owner, not everybody can drive a Porsche, not everybody has to own an iPad.
But the problem seems to be: Most want to have everything.

Young GCC baseball team has high expectations
The Greensburg Central Catholic baseball team ended last season with a 13-6 record, finishing a game behind Steel Valley for the Section 4-AA crown before advancing to the quarterfinals of the playoffs.
But after losing seven players to graduation, the Centurions feature a different team in 2014.
Yet, second-year head coach Anthony Manley said his level of expectation for this group has not changed.
"There's inexperience, but there's guys that can step in and get the job done," Manley said.
"You always have that goal to win your section and last year we came up a little bit short. …We're a completely different ball team than we were last year. We graduated a lot of seniors, so we are young but the bar is still raised and we still expect to win the section."
With two seniors on this year's team, Greensburg Central Catholic is led by team captain Eddie Kilkeary (center field) and first baseman Tony Pacelli. Junior pitcher/middle infielder Collin Liberatore also is a returning starter but will miss the next few weeks with a fractured thumb, meaning Kilkeary will be called upon to shoulder even more of a burden in his third season as a starter.
"I feel a load on my shoulders, but it's easy," Kilkeary said. "They're a great group of kids, they're so easy to get along with and they're open to learn which I think is really important. They're great baseball players, but they're all open to get better."
The Centurions will lean on young players such as pitchers Sam Nowicki (sophomore) and Neal McDermott (freshman) to complement junior Cole Reese in Liberatore's absence. Reese pitched six innings, allowing just one run in a 8-1 win over Greensburg Salem on Sunday to improve Greensburg Central Catholic's record to 3-2 overall.
At the plate, the Centurions will look for contributions from a group of five sophomores — middle infielder Tommy Pellis, outfielder JP Pellis, first baseman Jack Kilkeary, outfielder Scott Riley and catcher Zach Skatell.
Tommy Pellis has been locked in at the plate early in the season, batting .294 with five RBIs, while Nowicki also has chipped in with four RBIs.
They're using last year as motivation as this season goes on.
"It's definitely motivation for us going forward, just falling short," Kilkeary said.

The web push: Universities begin to offer credits for online courses
February 27, 2013
The world of online education is rapidly changing and universities are playing a key role by partnering with various sites to offer these courses to students of all ages and levels around the world.
NYU spokesperson Philip Lentz explained that professors can put their lectures or lessons online as a course, but whether a student can receive credit for the course varies among departments.
A few NYU programs do offer degrees online. For instance, graduate degree programs are available at the School of Continuing Professional Studies, and the Polytechnic Institute of NYU offers master's and certificate programs online through NYU-ePoly.
Furthermore, there are currently nine free, non-credit courses offered online through NYU Open Education. By clicking on the course, anyone can view taped lectures, some available in approximately 40 languages. Students can also join study groups to communicate with other people taking the course.
Other universities have partnered with Massive Open Online Courses providers to make their lectures available for free on the internet. Although NYU is not officially partnered with the organization, Stern professor Aswath Damodaran, who has taught online classes for 20 years, is one of many professors currently posting his corporate finance and valuation courses online through MOOC provider Symynd.
"My courses are for anyone who wants to learn, whether it's a 75-year-old investor who wants to learn why his portfolio is doing so badly or a high school student who is fascinated with stocks," Damodaran said.
Tom Huntingford, a student who has attended professor Damodaran's online courses, found the online class to be more effective than those offline.
"I assimilated the curriculum better than through a normal class as I could do it when it was convenient and could repeat sections I did not understand," Huntingford explained.
There are many other MOOC providers that partner with universities to make more and more online courses available.
Udacity, one of these MOOC providers, is passionate about making affordable higher education available for anyone. Last December, Udacity founder Sebastian Thrun was among 12 educators who met to draft a bill of rights to protect the interests of online students.
"Our broad goal is to inspire an open, learner-centered dialogue around the rights, responsibilities and possibilities for education in a globally connected world of the present and beyond," said Clarissa Shen, vice president of business development and marketing at Udacity.
As of January, San Jose State University offers three for-credit courses through Udacity called San Jose State Plus. These courses will cost $150 each.
"San Jose State University must and will take a leading role in leveraging technology to transform [higher education] with the goal of making a college degree affordable and accessible to all," said SJSU President Mohammad Qayoumi in a press release.
While NYU has not made commitments to provide credit for online courses, its future in online education could be changing.
"The university is currently evaluating possible opportunities and challenges of online learning," said biology professor of biology Mark Siegal, whose genomes and diversity lectures are on NYU Open Education.

On August 2nd 1990 the Iraqi army invaded its southern neighbour, Kuwait. Four days later the United Nations responded by imposing a complete trade embargo on Iraq. Though this was started under George H.W. Bush, it was continued for the entire Clinton administration.
In the ten years since Iraq has continued to be the subject of sanctions that affect almost every aspect of life for the average woman, man and child.
With imports of food and medicine severely restricted, malnutrition and disease is now endemic in what was once one of the healthiest countries in the world.
A 1999 Unicef report calculated that more than half a million children had died as a direct result of sanctions. On average 200 hundred Iraqi children are dying every day.
In September 1998, Denis Halliday head of the UN humanitarian programme in Iraq resigned claiming he could no longer administer 'an immoral and illegal' policy. His successor, Hans von Sponeck also later resigned, along with the head of the World Food Program.
Meanwhile U.S. and UK politicians insist that the sanctions regime is necessary to contain the threat of Saddam Hussein. When asked on U.S. television whether the death of 500,000 Iraqi children as a result of sanctions was justified Madelaine Albright replied "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price - we think the price is worth it."
Pilger has brought back disturbing evidence that the "holds" on humanitarian supplies have paralyzed the country and devastated millions of people, many dying from curable diseases because life saving drugs are only available intermittently. He also finds that the breakdown of the clean water system and health facilities are having a tragic effect on young children, contributing to an alarming rise in their mortality rate.
Pilger also exposes the suffering caused to the civilian population by the illegal bombing campaign being conducted by U.S. and Britain in the "no-fly zones" in northern and southern Iraq.

m. bef 1631
m. est 1656
m. Jun 1660
Facts and Events
Jonathan Royce was probably the eldest, rather than the youngest son in this family, and must have been born about 1636, or earlier, as he doubtless married (first) in 1656, Mary Spinning, daughter of Humphrey Spinning of New Haven (see Vol. 80, p. 107 of the N. E. H. G. Reg., D. L. Jacobus), and (second) June, 1660, Deborah Caulkins. (See Caulkins IV.) She survived her husband and married (second) (_____) Woodward of Lebanon, Connecticut. By the first wife, Mary Spinning, Jonathan Royce is believed to have had a daughter, Mary, who in 1678 married John Beach of Wallingford. The following record of the settlement of the estate of Jonathan Royce was found in the New London County Court Records by Mr. Jacobus, under date of September 22, 1690: "The inventory of the estate of Jonathan Royce was exhibited in Court, approved and ordered to be recorded, etc." "The Inventory of the Estate of Jonathan Royce of Norwich, deceased, having been exhibited in Court September last and power of administration was then granted to the Relict: this Court proceeds to distribution." Jonathan Royce resided at the time of his first marriage in Stratford, removing first to New London and after his second marriage to Norwich, Connecticut, where the birth dates of all his children by the second wife are to be found on the Vital Records of the town. (Vol. I, p. 33.) The marriages of the children are shown by the distribution of the estate, and a still later record was found by Mr. Jacobus in the settlement of the estate of David Royce, youngest son of Jonathan, who died unmarried, and the Court determined the heirs among his brothers and sisters and the "children of his deceased sister, Eliza Bacchus, Habijah Wade, and Mary Beach, his half sister." Dated January 13, 1712-13.

The Ultimate Mountain Log Cabin.
"My wife and I stayed at Bear Creek a while back and truly loved the experience. There are two awesome cabins on the property. The property sits in a "cove" surrounded by mountains and creeks. It is the perfect place to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet. The cabin comes complete with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Local attractions include Max Patch mountain, which is a stop along the Appalacian Trail. It is about a 20 minute drive or so. You are 30 minutes from the town of Hot Springs and same distance into the town of Waynesville or Maggie Valley. Asheville is less than an hour away. This is a great place to stay if you want to sit back and listen to the creek and watch the tall trees swaying in the wind. If you are lucky you'll hear the cows from a neighboring farm or see a deer along the creek. We love this place."

A Beautiful Surprise!
"Pictures don't do it justice. This was such a nice place. What a beautiful surprise. At first we were concerned with not being able to connect to the internet then we relaxed and embraced the way we used to vacation disconnected and able to truly decompress. I may always look for scenarios where I escape the electronic leashes in the future. Direct tv provided was enough to keep us from feeling completely isolated. Also neighbors just up the road were very friendly. Hot Springs is a great little town 19 miles up the road that is a drive not to be missed. Visitor center is well worth a visit open Thursday through the weekend. Public Library has free wifi as does the Spring Creek Tavern and "they" have great beer selections! Great restaurants in Waynesville also the better grocery stores. This is just a great spot that may just have spoiled us to the point nothing else will quite measure up."

Couldn't Ask for a Better Cabin.
"My wife and I stayed in the Creekside cabin over the weekend and it was amazing. Tucked away in a place all to ourselves. Cabin was stocked with all amenities except with the food you will eat. It was nice being "off the grid" with no cell or internet service. Although if you need to call out you can go a few miles from cabin to get service. Very easy to find. Owner was awesome to deal with. Would definitely be a repeat customer. Couldn't ask for a better cabin."

I Recommend This Home to Everyone!
"The pictures do not due this place justice - it is better in person and that is rarely seen - so clean - decorated so cute - very private - very comfortable - hot tub overlooking creek - awesome mountain views surround the property and the owner is the nicest, most honest person. I recommend this "home" to everyone!!! The owner provides everything - fire wood - linens - towels - it's like being at home - truly. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!"
Lisa O on 05/31/2014
Perfect Mountain getaway!
"We booked our cabin with extremely last minute notice and owner was very helpful and accommodating. We arrived later in the evening and had to rely on the directions provided which led us straight to the property. The two cabins do share the same driveway, but this wasn't a problem for us. Inside the cabin was very clean, plenty of linens with fresh soap and shampoo. There were rocking chairs on the back porch overlooking the creek that were perfect for relaxing in the mornings while we drank our coffee. We spent the days travelling around Asheville, the Blue Ridge, and Hot Springs all of which were a fairly easy 30-45 minute drive from the cabins. Overall it was a fantastic little getaway and we plan to come back!"
Mallory C on 05/26/2014
Peaceful, Romantic, and Clean.
"I will go back as often as possible! I love the hot tubs, the decor is amazing and small cabin has brand new custom beautiful tiled shower.. It is clean, quiet, extraordinary scenery and secluded but could still get to Asheville or Hot Springs in 20-30 minutes. I found it to be more luxuriuous than other cabins...nice linens, no mold or weird smells, NICE property, NICE owner!"
Janet H on 05/16/2014
Best Vacation Ever.
"Wish we could stay there permanently. The place was absolutely great. One of the best vacations ever. We will remember it always. The cabin was 1st class and the hiking and views are the best yet. Everything we needed was provided and we didn't have to pack anything except our clothes. We will definitely put this on our list of places to come back to every year."
Ted B on 05/16/2014
Most Peaceful Place.
"We love Bear Creek cabins. One of the most peaceful places we've visited. My husband and I are well traveled and choose to visit Bear Creek cabins at least twice a year.I have brought several friends there as well and this place never disappoints. The owner is a wonderful person, friendly and helpful. The cabins are clean and well equipped. We spent a couple of days just hanging out at the cabin enjoying the atmosphere it provides...love building a fire in the fireplace and outside under the stars.The front porch is so inviting and so is the hot tub. I recommend this getaway to anyone who is in search of peace and tranquility. I can't wait to return!!!"

"We were so happy to have found Bear creek cabins. Both of the cabins are awesome. We have stayed 4 times now and always look to coming back."

Those dreaming of the day when they could finally ditch cash in favor of debit cards are about to be dealt a setback. Andrew R. Johnson of The Wall Street Journal writes this week that MasterCard and Visa are likely to raise the swipe fees merchants pay banks to process small purchases:
Thomas McCrohan, an analyst with financial-services firm Janney Montgomery Scott, said in a research note on Wednesday the credit-card companies plan to increase the fees—which ultimately are paid to banks, not MasterCard or Visa—to 23 cents per transaction.
Currently a retailer pays about eight cents for a $2 cup of coffee purchased with a debit card, according to Mr. McCrohan, who said the increase "will kill the economics for small-ticket debit purchases." He added, "It will almost certainly lead to a merchant revolt against the card networks."
Visa and MasterCard wouldn't directly comment on Mr. McCrohan's conclusions, but have said they would change debit-card fees, known as interchange, in response to new federally regulated caps. Any increase in fees for small-ticket transactions likely wouldn't affect all merchants the same; rate changes by the companies can affect merchants differently because fees vary depending on the type of retailer and, in some cases, the volume of card purchases.
A key driver of the fee increase, Mr. McCrohan said, are rules the Federal Reserve Board finalized in June that limit the fees merchants pay when a consumer uses a debit card to 24 cents per transaction. The cap applies to banks with assets of $10 billion or more.
John Kraft, an analyst with D.A. Davidson & Co., wrote Thursday in a research note that Visa plans to increase its rate for some "small ticket transactions" to an amount that equals "the U.S. Federal Reserve regulated cap."
What this likely means for consumers is we'll be seeing more of those annoying "$10 minimum for debit card purchases" signs decorating the counters of convenience stores, especially since the right of merchants to set minimum purchase limits of $10 or less is now enshrined in law thanks to Dodd-Frank.
It will also blunt some of the impact of the Durbin amendment on bank profits, which could in turn help soften some of the fee increases we're already seeing on checking accounts in response to the law.
More fundamentally, this change effectively subverts the Durbin Amendment, likely eroding any price breaks consumers would have gotten as a result of retailers paying less in swipe fees. In a world where the Federal Reserve Board governors thought the swipe-fee cap was a good idea, it would also force the Fed to revisit the limits they've established and incorporate a percentage cap to go along with the 24-cent limit, but I don't see that happening. Several of the governors expressed reservations about the cap even as they approved it, and I don't think they'll want to revisit it anytime soon.
If that turns out to be the case, it will be just another illustration of how difficult it is for lawmakers to produce financial regulation that sticks. Financial institutions are really good at finding ways to soften the real-world impact of financial regulation, and regulators tasked with implementing them aren't always willing to make the rule changes necessary to firm it back up again.
What do you think? Should the Fed adjust the fee cap to prevent banks from jacking up swipe fees on small purchases, or should they just leave well enough alone?

Much of the debate, right now, is focused on the optimal energy mix between fossil fuels and clean energies like solar and wind. Important as this debate is, a potentially bigger and broader issue we face in Europe is creating 'new' flexible systems and infrastructure for clean energy which is much less transportable than fossil fuels.
Do you remember golliwogs? Those black rag dolls with frizzy hair and red lips? You probably do, although most golliwog toys and references have succumbed to a UK-wide extermination process in the last few decades. Well, the toy hasn't exactly done much to promote racial equality and tolerance: terms like 'golliwog' and 'wog' entered the slang lexicon as racial slurs.

Jessica Simpson's Mom Was Literally Going To Shoot Her Dad After He Came Out of The Closet
So Jessica Simpson's mom Tina allegedly wrote a suicide note spelling out her intentions to shoot Joe Simpson then herself shortly after he came out of the closet and filed for divorce, according to RadarOnline:
Shortly before traveling to New York to confront Joe, 52, about his tryst with 21-year-old model Bryce Chandler Hill in August 2012, Tina scrawled a cry-for-help letter threatening to shoot herself after she discovered her husband's homosexual tendencies, a source close to the situation tells Radar exclusively.
In the note, Tina, 53, also said she wanted to shoot Joe , her husband of 35 years, for cheating on her, a family insider reveals.
Tina left the note in the Encino home she shared with Joe and he found it! Joe immediately handed it to his lawyers who were handling his divorce proceedings.
Now some people are questioning the classiness of Joe immediately handing the note to his lawyers instead of say, the police, or Tina's doctor after she's locked up in the psych ward and gets the help she needs, but do you know how expensive it is to attract male models at his age? He can't be shelling out thousands of dollars in alimony each month just because he spent decades lying to his wife and kids. In fact, now they know to always be suspicious of everything anyone tells them. He practically did them a favor.

Kierkegaard's Writings, XX:
Of the many works he wrote during 1848, his "richest and most fruitful year," Kierkegaard specified Practice in Christianity as "the most perfect and truest thing." In his reflections on such topics as Christ's invitation to the burdened, the imitatio Christi, the possibility of offense, and the exalted Christ, he takes as his theme the requirement of Christian ideality in the context of divine grace. Addressing clergy and laity alike, Kierkegaard asserts the need for institutional and personal admission of the accommodation of Christianity to the culture and to the individual misuse of grace. As a corrective defense, the book is an attempt to find, ideally, a basis for the established order, which would involve the order's ability to acknowledge the Christian requirement, confess its own distance from it, and resort to grace for support in its continued existence. At the same time the book can be read as the beginning of Kierkegaard's attack on Christendom. Because of the high ideality of the contents and in order to prevent the misunderstanding that he himself represented that ideality, Kierkegaard writes under a new pseudonym, Anti-Climacus.
"The definitive edition of the Writings. The first volume . . . indicates the scholarly value of the entire series: an introduction setting the work in the context of Kierkegaard's development; a remarkably clear translation; and concluding sections of intelligent notes."--Library Journal

Magic 12-day May 22: Carnival Magic Cruise Review by winelover714
Overall Member Rating
Magic 12-day May 22
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
Embarkation was a bit slower than we expected, as buses from the airport started arriving before embarkation started, so quite a queue had built up when we arrived at the start time. Also apparently luggage left at dockside was delivered to cabins last-in first-out, and I stupidly gave them my large bag of medicines and More CPAP. I did not receive the bag until 5 minutes before we sailed, so I was stressed. Although I would have preferred another go-round, disembarkation could not have been smoother. I understand there was at least one person who refused to get off, although they did not want another 12 day cruise.
Out cabin was center ship, about 3 decks above the water, with a cove balcony. I felt like like I had my own private area, just above the water. I chose that location for minimum movement, and to be close, but not too close, to the the mid-ship lifts, and it was perfect. The cabin steward kept the room clean and well supplied, and fulfilled our need quite well. The crew was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
We signed up for Any Time dining so we did not have to worry about time back from excursions. It turns out we need not have worried as most excursions get back in time for early seating. The plus on Any Time is of course its flexibility, and you can meet lots of people at dinner, but the negative is you meet them and your servers, but don't get to know them. The food and service in Main Dining Room for lunch and dinner was always very good to excellent. The service for breakfast was not to those standards. Sometimes at breakfast we were not offered juice, coffee or rolls/danish, on other occasions two or three waiters asked. The order of dishes served sometimes were reversed or served at the same time, or were cold or over cooked, and one occasion not served. Part of the problem is that they tried to fill every chair at a 10 person table, even if some at the table had been seated 10 minutes earlier, when the room was mostly empty tables.
We ate one night at the Steakhouse and one night at the Chef's Table. For $30 each extra, we did not feel we got the added value - the ambiance is nicer but the food was not significantly better. On the other hand the Chef's Table at I think $75 each was a definite must do if you are into food like we are. All the food served in MDR is well presented, but the dishes at the Chef's Table are, well, stunning.
Not so stunning, though, is the wine list. For the main part the list is low-end, mass production wines of little note other than the well known label. It would appear that all the wine first went through US distribution before being sent to the ship, which means European wines are "pre-aged". The wine service was also spotty; sometimes pouring too much into the glass and one of the "Sommeliers" not knowing the difference between a Pinot Gris and a Vin Gris. On the other hand, when I found I did not like a bottle I had selected (weak vintage or too many ocean crossings) the bottle was exchanged for another selection without a problem.
The ship, even with 3500+ guest, did not seem crowded, except on one at-sea lunch, when all 3500+ want to eat at about the same time and the MDR is closed. Some of the lines did get pretty long then. There are so many different venues for eating and entertainment that with a little looking, you can find a quiet area. I think Carnival has heard prior comments about adults wanting these areas and responded. My Sig-O and I generally do not like excursions, but we signed up for one in Marseille before boarding to be sure we could go to Arles and Aix. While on board we signed up for excursions to Pompeii and Taormina. All of the excursions were well organized and executed. Arles and Aix were OK but of course could only skim the surface, but Pompeii and Taormina are strictly tourist trap crap. Carnival has nothing to do with that: these towns are doing what brings in the money.
When we made our reservations last year for the Magic, the second port was to be Livorno, which would allow us to visit wineries in Tuscany. That ended up being changed to Savona, which does not have many "attractions". It turned out to be our favorite port, because the city is not a tourist spot - it is a mid-sized town, easily walkable, friendly, with very good prices.
Overall, as I said, a great experience and we will probably book another cruise in a year or two. A few things could/should be tuned up, and I think Carnival management should realize the guest going to Europe may be more interested in wines than the Caribbean cruiser, and do more tailoring of the wine list.

Cabin review: 2350
Generally quiet, cove balcony gives you privacy, and being close to the water makes it feel like your own private yacht. I had to stick with a port side cabin because no one seems to offer "Port out - Starboard Home" anymore. Surprising amount of storage

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: bakedjake
This one has a good command summary:
Would there be any major differences with Linux?
I've started digging in to O'Reilly's Perl Llama book, and can remember from when I studied COBOL that it was important to be familiar with the environment, not just the language itself. It was IBM 370 OS/VS and when I dug into the OS commands, I found there were things that could be done using the JCL that were far simpler and quicker than doing them within the application itself.
I don't know if this will be so in this case. I'm just looking to do some very simple, basic things. My familiarity with Linux has basically been on a need-to-know basis, but an overview certainly can't hurt.
JCL, OS/370, COBOL? Just how old are you Marcia? (....I'm kidding, just kidding, oh come on, really I'm kidding :) )
