First time River Cruise: Viking Baldur Cruise Review by oceanpath
Overall Member Rating
First time River Cruise
Destination: Europe - River Cruise
Embarkation: Budapest
General: As a first river cruise, I will try to report things unique to river cruises rather than compare to other lines or cruises. By far the best part of this cruise is the ports and scenery which has little to with Viking, I strongly recommend the 14 day Grand European Cruise over a 7 day itinerary. I is a better deal and you really need a few days to get into the culture/history and river experience.
Tours: These are all included on Viking and are excellent. Go to the onboard discussions each afternoon on the next stop. The personal headset equipment included are excellent, and are used on all tours.. The tours are probably the highlight of the trip and help explain the cost. Tourist crowds at all stops must be overwhelming during peak summer times.
Ship: It was brand new and very nice. Rivers really limit the ship size and space, but they make the most of it More
Dress: Ignore anything they print or you read. Everyone is down dressed the whole time, including the captains party and dinner. Pack accordingly. Ladies, thank you for dressing up a little.
Food: Kitchens have to be small on these river boats which limits preparations. The food budget is good so the products are good, but not exceptional. Chef/cook was adequate, but do not expect the preparations you find on high end lines. Lunch gets a little boring after a while. The clientele age group means there are many diabetics on board, but the make no effort to accommodate this with sugar free or no sugar added desserts to speak of, and when they claims they have one it is high in fruit fructose. Put your request in when you register.
BEVERAGES: The wine that comes with lunch and dinner is some home brew of Viking. The red was drinkable. They will open your bottle at no cost at meals, so if you like wine, that is the way to go. The liquor package does not upgrade your wines much and you would have to drink all day to come out ahead cost wise with the package. The two beers available at meals is drinkable, but not anticipate a tasting experience. I would say the this area was the an overwhelming disappointment and not as advertised.
Staterooms: Very nicely done, but very small. Standard size room has no seating room at all. Balcony cabins of either type are about one oot wider which allows for one small chair next to the bed. Full balcony cabins gives you about 2 feet of width for 2 narrow chairs which would be nice in warm weather. No cabins are large enough you will want to spend time there unless you take one of the major suites in back, but you need to be Bill Gates or want people to think you are.
Entertainment: One or two nice evening shows brought on from shore. The facility for entertainment will not come close to holding all passengers and is very poor for entertainment purposes. Otherwise, there was a piano singer who was very average, but the entertainment is the itinerary. Less
Published 11/05/13
Cabin review:
Virtually all rooms are very small and you will not spend much time there. Not a good use of travel funds to upgrade unless your travel budget is very large.

Govt to start bidding for ankle bracelet program
Guardian Senior Reporter
Published: Oct 11, 2013
The government will soon issue a request for proposals (RFP) to security companies to take over the management of its electronic monitoring program after the current contract with ICS Security Concepts ends next month, Minister of National Security Dr. Bernard Nottage said yesterday.
Nottage said the government is looking for a "better price" than the current contract.
He added that a task force has been created to work out what the government needs from the new system.
Nottage also said that some companies have already sent in bids even though the public bidding process has not started.
Over the past year, Nottage has repeatedly criticized the electronic monitoring program. However, he said ICS will be allowed to bid again.
"We have reviewed the system that we have. We have identified some issues that we would like the new contract to contain," said Nottage after a pastors' crime forum at Salem Baptist Church.
Nottage previously said he wants police to monitor the program, which he thinks would result in a more efficient system.
ICS' contract ends in the middle of November, Nottage said.
He said he wants the company to continue monitoring the system after the contract ends until the government signs a new agreement.
Nottage said the government met with ICS to discuss its concerns over the current system.
"They appear to understand the difficulties we have been having," he said. "They have given us their reasons for them and they appear to feel they can eliminate them."
Earlier this year, ICS presented the government with a list of recommendations for improving the system.
Nottage said the government implemented most of the recommendations but still thinks the system needs improvement.
"We still decided to put out a new request because whatever we do, we have to try to get from the system the objectives we are seeking," he said.
The Ingraham administration signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract with ICS in December 2010.
In August, ICS CEO Stephen Greenslade said he was willing to give up the contract to defend his company's reputation.
Earlier this year, a dead man was found wearing an ankle bracelet. A fisherman found the body near the South Beach canal. At the time police said it appeared the man was dead for at least a week.
The discovery renewed the government's concerns about the electronic monitoring program.

FAMOUS regiments face the chop as the Army axes 20,000 soldiers, Defence
Secretary Philip Hammond will warn today.
The Household Cavalry — Prince Harry's unit — and the Queen's Royal Lancers
are believed to be under threat.
Defence chiefs are expected to spare infantry units like the Paras and Rifles.
In his first major speech on defence cuts, Mr Hammond will say: "A regular
Army of 82,000 will have a different structure to one of 102,000. Some units
inevitably will be lost or will merge."
He will vow to try to keep the Army's historic regimental system as far as
Mr Hammond will stress the need to free up troops for frontline fighting
Their former jobs "in the rear" will be taken by reserves, private contractors
and Britain's more war-shy allies.
The MoD is "looking to others to provide the tail, where Britain is
concentrating on providing the teeth", he will say.
The Army, facing budget cuts of almost a fifth, lost other whole units to
Labour cuts in 2004.
WEAPONS, ammo, laptops and 20 pregnancy kits were among military
property lost or stolen in the last year, the MoD admitted yesterday.

The pGEM-T is 3kb in length, and contains the amplicin resistance gene, conferring selection of the plasmid in E. coli, and the ori site which is the bacterial origin of replication. The plasmid has multiple cloning sites as shown below. The coding sequence was inserted by TA cloning. Many E. coli strains are suitable for the propagation of this vector including JM109, DH5α and TOP10.
The coding sequence can be easily obtained by digesting the vector with proper restriction enzyme(s). The coding sequence can also be amplified by PCR with M13 primers, or primer pair SP6 and T7.

Interferon, alpha 4 (IFNA4) belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family. Two variants of IFNA4 (IFNA4a and IFNA4b) are known, which differ from each other by changes in their coding regions at nucleotide positions 220 and 410 and can be distinguished by selective restriction enzyme analysis. Interferons are produced by macrophages, IFN-alpha have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. IFN-alpha, the first cytokine to be produced by recombinant DNA technology, has emerged as an important regulator of growth and differentiation, affecting cellular communication and signal transduction pathways as well as immunological control. Originally discovered as an antiviral substance, the efficacy of IFN-alpha in malignant, viral, immunological, angiogenic, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases suggests a spectrum of interrelated pathophysiologies. IFN-alpha emerged as a prototypic tumor suppressor protein that represses the clinical tumorigenic phenotype in some malignancies capable of differentiation.

Wow! Wonderous Alaska: Carnival Spirit Cruise Review by JenSDCA
Overall Member Rating
Wow! Wonderous Alaska
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
Embarkation - the boarding process was smooth and painless, and within a half-hour we were lunching on the lido deck. Our cabin was ready promptly. There were 4 of us, mom, dad, & 2 boys, ages 9 & 12. There was enough room for all of us, but with the sofa converted to a bed, the storage was a bit less since the sofa cushions were stowed under the king bed. But we made do...and yes, bring a power strip...we had 4 cameras and 1 camcorder that all seemed to need recharging at the same time! Our steward was Purna, and he was very pleasant, and really seemed to enjoy amusing the kids. We were so glad we'd booked a balcony room...hubby and I spent many hours out there just watching the More scenery drift by, and my son & I saw orcas from our balcony, the only ones spotted the whole week.
Ports - we did the Tracy Arm excursion...many thanks to all of you who suggested that, as we likely would not have booked it were it not for the enthusiastic reviews on this board. Turned out to be a high point of our trip! The weather was beautiful, and the excursion was worth every penny!
In Skagway, we did the dogsled excursion. My boys found it to be the best part of the trip. In retrospect, we would have rather booked the train in Skagway, and maybe done the dogs in Juneau. It was a fun thing to do, but next time (yes, we're talking about next time already!) we will definitely book the train in Skagway.
We didn't book any further excursions, just winged it on our own. In Juneau, we took the tram up to the top of Mt Roberts. The views were amazing! In Ketchikan, the weather caught up with us...we'd had beautiful sunny days til then, but our morning in Ketchikan was rainy. So we shopped, then made our way back onboard, looking forward to Victoria. Oops. Victoria was cancelled due to strong cross-winds. There were more than a few people who were really angry about that. We were disappointed too, but safety is important.
Kids - both boys participated in the kids program, and enjoyed the activities they did. There isn't nearly as much scheduled for the older kids, but looking back to when I was 12, that's probably how the kids want it.
Food - we ate most nights in the MDR. We had Your Time dining, which we really liked. No need to be there at a certain time, and the meal was served at the pace of our table instead of the whole room, so we were in & out more quickly. The food ranged from good to excellent, and the servers were a little cool at first, but warmed up as we engaged them in conversation. I don't think they're used to that! By day 4 or 5, MDR staff were greeting our kids by name when seeing them in the Lido Grille at breakfast time. The kids liked that. We breakfasted & lunched at the Grille, usually avoiding buffet items but choosing the custom omelets & freshly made sandwiches instead.
Cannot speak of the entertainment, since we didn't see any of the shows. We did see one singer at the past guest party, and she was allright. The was the first time we haven't seen a band playing afternoons on the Lido deck, which was probably a good thing, since the dome was closed and it was pretty noisy in there anyway.
Disembarkation - the process was smooth. We waited til most everybody was off, since we had no plane to catch and our hotel room wasn't ready. Once we joined the line, it was a constant movement through the process, and we were soon in a cab heading toward our hotel. We stayed at the Courtyard Inn Pioneer Square, and cannot recommend it highly enough! Great location, so convenient to transit, easy walk to the waterfront, comfy beds...our only quibble is that we booked an accessible room, and the only concession that had been made was a grab bar in the shower. The shower/bathtub was super slippery, there was no shower seat nor grab bars by the toilet...definitely not a handicapped accessible room. But when we mentioned it to the desk, they put a mat on the shower flor which made it not slippery, and that took care of our needs.
Overall, this trip was incredible! The kids have decreed it "the best trip ever!" and hubby & I are already talking about going again with more family members...once we save up enough to do so. I highly recommend this sailing! Less

Archie Comics introduced its first gay couple last September and now Riverdale is celebrating its first gay marriage.
The Hollywood Reporter notes that Kevin Keller, Riverdale's first gay character, just got married to Dr. Clay Walker in Life With Archie no. 16. Archie tackled a few controversial issues with its latest story line.
First they introduced their first gay character. Then they created a story line where Kevin Keller serves in the Iraq war. Then Keller gets injured and is treated by Dr. Clay Walker, his future husband. And finally, we have an interracial gay marriage.
Archie Comics CEO Jonathan Goldwater, said:
"Riverdale, Archie and the gang are set in high school, and we ran a risk, unless we reflect what's going on with kids today in the real world, of becoming irrelevant."
And it looks like Archie's mission of staying relevant has been accomplished. Kevin Keller helped a four-issue miniseries sell out in 2011, and now Riverdale's gay character is getting his own solo series. Keller will be elected president of Riverdale High School and will have to deal with the issues that come with being an openly gay teen.
GLAAD praised Archie Comics for telling the story of Kevin Keller, saying:
"With Riverdale being a picture perfect image of the reality we live in, it is important for readers to see the diversity of American life reflected in this idealistic universe."
What do you think about the gay marriage in Archie Comics?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - You might think that the least likely person to lure you into a financial scam would be your minister. But inspectors say several men of the cloth got involved in a scheme that cost investors millions of dollars.
"I entrusted an individual based on who he was, and I should never have done that," said one of the victims who doesn't want to reveal his name.
The individual was a minister who led the victim to believe he knew of an investment that was a sure thing.
"It was very disappointing and hurtful too," said the victim. "I pulled some of my family into this and some extended family members."
Postal inspectors say the scheme started in 2008 when a group of individuals, posing as an investment company, claimed they were mining gold, oil and other metals of that sort.
"The stock shares started at $100," explained US Postal Inspector Dennis Cunningham.
But, it was all a scam.
"They indicated that they had mines in Africa, that they were mining gold, silver, diamonds and they didn't really have access to any of those mines," said Cunningham.
The bogus investment group initially held seminars in libraries. Then they started talking to church groups.
"They got a lot of ministers involved, openly recruiting. In fact, several ministers entered guilty pleas for conspiracy in the case," explained Cunningham.
There were two thousand victims that lost more $7 million combined.
One of those ministers helped rope this victim and family members into investing thousands.
"I know now even with men of God, you still have to be mindful and investigate whatever you're investing in, do a thorough investigation," the victim warned.
"Research that company, check with the Better Business Bureau in that state, check to see if there are any complaints filed against them," advised Cunningham.
In fact,- postal inspectors say a call to state officials in this case could have been beneficial.
"The secretary of state had an open investigation in that company," said Cunningham.
Inspectors reiterate that all investments carry risk. Take the time to thoroughly research a company and the people who want you to invest.

Nostalgia large part of appeal for Blairsville comic book collector
There were no wild aspirations of striking it rich when Scott Walton of Blairsville started collecting comic books. He just wanted to build up a collection of comics he enjoyed as a kid.
His passion for the superhero stories is apparent as he recounts his recent rediscovery of a treasured title.
"It was an older 'X-Men' book from the '80s and I thought I had actually lost it," Walton said of one of his favorite comics. "Going back through my mother's stuff in a storage shed for the yard sale they just had here, I opened up a box and I found it there. My wife just looked at me and shook her head and said, 'I'll just let you be alone.'
"I was just absolutely thrilled. I just went on and on about the fact that I had found that comic."
Walton's collection and interest trend toward Marvel comics. The variety of heroes, and expanded insights into the characters' lives beyond the Kablam! Pow! action sequences, drew him to the Marvel Universe.
"You have Spider-Man who's trying to pay his bills, you have the X-Men that are having prejudice against them, you have the Fantastic Four with their family lifestyle doing everything," Walton said, noting several leading Marvel superheroes. "You could more feel the same things that they're going through, so they're much more of an attainable type of character."
He explained that the story presentation of another major comics publisher, DC Comics, leaves him with a contrasting impression.
"There was a DC animated movie they had that really sealed it for me, looking at it where they showed the watchtower for the Justice League and they almost made it look like a cathedral or a big parthenon or something," he said. "It was just kind of the whole idea that those heroes were almost untouchable, that they're up above everyone else."
Walton, 44, first started collecting comics as a teenager but drifted out of the hobby until his senior year at college. At its height, his collection totaled more than 3,000 comics.
He also delved into comic book sales as an occupation for about five years, buying The Vault Comics and Games store outside Westmoreland Mall in 2008, before deciding to sell the store last fall.
"It's really relationship-driven," Walton said of his time running the store. "I mean, people would come in and they'd tell me their problems, they'd tell me about their collections, they would be in there for an hour just talking randomly. It was just one of those things, you felt like you were a bartender, almost. You had your counter in front of you and you're dealing out the comic books to people."
"A number of times, we'd have special things whenever a comic-book movie would come out and we would do a midnight showing, everyone would come in," Walton reminisced. "We would play games to give away free tickets to the movie, and people would come up with a stupid thing like 'Who would win this, Thor or Superman?'
"You know it's silly. Whenever you start talking, you know you're going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but you're in that spot where it's OK to sound ridiculous and be silly. That's just what's a great thing about a comic shop."
Owning the store also presented him with opportunities to expand his collection as customers brought in their own comics for appraisal.
"I was going through someone's collection that they brought in to the shop and I found a copy of ('Star Hunters,' a DC Comics series from the 1970s). I flipped it open and I'm looking at it and it looked really familiar to me," Walton said. "I realized that was actually the first comic I had ever looked at whenever I was a kid growing up. I told the guy right away, 'I want this.'
"It was just something, just such a great feeling going back to whenever you're a kid and you remember reading that. I would read (comics) over and over until they were falling apart, but it was just the absolute joy you got from reading those things."
That joy of reading comics has been the driving force behind his collection, and it's central in his advice for new comic book collectors.
"Get something you love and you enjoy so, if it's not worth anything, you still have something that you love to read over and over again," Walton advises. "There are so many things that you can buy and set aside – stocks, bonds, things like that – that will accrue you more money than the chance of a $3.99 comic. Just buy something that's going to entertain you.
"People that just do the business part of it, sure, maybe they may make a mint out of it. But I think they're really missing something about the enjoyment of the medium of the comic, of the artwork, of the writing, the whole thing put together. I think they're really missing out on that part."
Comic book conventions, like the Steel City Con held in Monroeville last weekend, are a great way for comic-collecting neophytes to get started in the hobby, Walton said.
"There's all sorts of different options you can play with there, with getting trade paperbacks where they reprint old issues of stuff, or go to the Comic Cons, because a lot of times you will get really good deals," he said. "You always want to go (to conventions) on a Sunday, the last day of the thing, because they don't want to take back all those comics. So they'll try and get rid of stuff as much as they can, and that's a great way of picking up stuff."
Comic book publishers have increasingly added the option of purchasing digital versions of their books on computers, tablets and smartphones.
For Walton, viewing comics on a screen can offer convenience, but it can never replace the sensation of turning the pages of an old favorite.
"Usually on the tablets, I'll have issues of comics that I have really loved over the years and it's something that I can just pick up and read at any point in time," Walton said. "But it's great when you go through and you lay out that (original print) copy. Depending on what it is, it's almost like an Indiana Jones moment...
"It's just something that's a great feeling, holding that comic in your hand and flipping it over. It may look like crap and maybe the colors are draining from the page, but just the memories of thinking back whenever you were a kid reading this for the first time, it's just a feeling you can't get with swiping and swiping (on a tablet screen). You just can't get the same thing there."

A RIBBLE Valley girl is set to have her flowing locks cut off in memory of her grandpa and raise money for charity.
Emelia Mitchell, 8, was very close to her 'papa', who died last July, and will have at least 10 inches of her hair cut and donated to The Little Princess Trust, an organisation that make and give wigs free to children who have lost their hair through illness.
Emelia, who is from Bolton-by-Bowland, is also attempting to raise £1,500 for Pendleside Hospice who looked after her granddad, Som Gude, shortly before he died.
The year four pupil at Bowland Primary School made up her mind to have her hair cut, which is currently so long that she can almost sit on it, after seeing an advert for Little Princess Trust on TV.
Her hair is to be cut on May 23, at Amanda Eastwood's hair salon, Moor Lane, Clitheroe.
Emeila said: "I will be having at least 10 inches off and all the money I raise is going to Pendleside Hospice which cared for my grandpa in the last few hours of his life. They were so kind to him and my family and I really wanted to say a big thank you to them and help them to help others.
"My papa was so special to me and I was so lucky to have such a great grandpa for eight years."
Emelia has currently raised more than £400 for the hospice.
Her mum, Sheila, said: "I'm so proud of what she is doing and she is such a caring girl. She loves her hair but I'm sure that she will not regret doing it.
"She is always thinking about doing things for other people but I think she will still be a bit nervous on the day."
A spokeswoman from Pendleside Hospice said: "Thank you very much to Emelia for supporting the hospice with her sponsored hair cut.
"It is truly inspiring that somebody as young as Emelia would think to do a fundraising challenge in support of Pendleside Hospice and her decision to have her long hair cut is to be admired."

The images feature Lindsay, with a companion, trying on some jewelry pieces at Kamofie & Co. with one shopkeeper serving her.
While talks about Lindsay Lohan's surveillance video are all over the web, a sneak peek to the said footage has hit the web in a form of screen captions. The troubled singer is clearly visible at these images - she is seen inside the store with a companion.
The troubled singer came to Kamofie & Co., a jeweler located near her new home in L.A.'s Venice Beach district, and tried on some jewelry pieces. The pictures were released as a teaser to the video capturing the moment when she allegedly stole a $2,500 necklace from the store.
The footage has been shopped around with its recent price tag reaching around $35,000, and it's expected to come out on Monday night, March 7. It has gone out to the Associated Press, who is handling the licensing and distribution of the tape and stills.
Lindsay has been charged with felony grand theft and is due back in court March 10. Since the case is still on going, both the prosecution and defense camps are upset with the video release because they believe it will complicate the case. "Neither side wanted it released," a source told Radar Online. "Neither side sanctioned this sale."
Kamofie & Co. spokesman Christopher Spencer defends the decision to release the tape, claiming that the case ruined their business. "Customers have stayed away from the store because of the paparazzi and the controversy," he said, adding that there is no profit motive because the money made from the release won't come close to covering the loses.
"There were literally thousands of media inquiries asking for the release of the video which is not secret evidence. The video would have been released during the trial anyway, as was stated by several prominent criminal attorneys," he stated. "We worked with the non-profit organization known as the Associated Press to allow legitimate journalists and news outlets access to the video."

TIME is running out for Russells Hall residents to have their say on proposals for a paid-for parking permit scheme.
Dudley Council's controversial consultation on plans to introduce the permit plan on 13 streets near the hospital will end on Friday March 7.
The plan, designed to deter hospital visitors and staff from parking in the area, would impose a £95 fee per car for residents' bays and extra charges would apply for visitors.
People in the region have been contacting the News to express their outrage at the scheme, which looks unlikely to win the support it needs to get the go-ahead for a 12-month trial.
Zena Heath, who lives in Pearce Close, said: "It's ridiculous, why should people have to pay to park outside their own homes."
Reg Hill, also from Pearce Close, added: "They have dived in at the deep end without knowing what they are taking on."
Graham Jackson from Pearce Close said: "It makes me wonder where the council's loyalties lie, with residents or with strangers who want to park here.
"People will still try to get away with it, they don't police it, if you ring Dudley Council Plus to tell them, nothing happens."
Another resident, who did not wish to be named, added: "Is it not a better idea to apply for free resident only parking permits? Therefore all other people parking without permits can be fined.
"Nobody seems to check these side roads anyway judging by the places that some people park.
"I have seen people with wheelchairs and pushchairs having to go onto the road to get past parked cars and a taxi."
Kim Avison, from Pearce Close, said: "I am absolutely disgusted, it's an appalling idea, I will fight it, it is definitely a cash cow - I won't pay."
Dudley Council says the fees associated with the scheme will only cover its costs and they are responding to requests from residents.
Cllr Khurshid Ahmed, Dudley cabinet member for transportation, said: "Residents living near the hospital have been asking Dudley Council to look at resident permits to help with on-street parking for some time and that is why this consultation is taking place.
"Ultimately it will be the residents who will decide if this scheme is right for them as there will need to be an 80 per cent uptake in favour of the permits in order for it to go ahead."
Streets included in the consultation are Ashenhurst Road, Abbotsford Drive, Bushey Fields Road, Dereton Close, Geston Road, Hawkesley Road, Hilderic Crescent, Kingswinford Road, Middlepark Road, Overfield Road, Pearce Close, Quentin Drive and The Oval.

Hoosiers looking to make more progress in 2013
Indiana heads into 2013 with the same list of goals it always seems to have.
Make the postseason. Win back the Old Oaken Bucket. Close with a flourish.
This time, the Hoosiers are not just hoping to make changes. They have a plan to get better.
Indiana (4-8, 2-6 Big Ten) made steady progress under second-year coach Kevin Wilson. They ended a 10-game conference losing streak, beat their first Football Bowl Subdivision foe since Wilson arrived and were even in position to play for a Big Ten title if they could have won their last three games.
Indiana lost all three of those games, primarily because of turnovers and a defense that struggled to tackle - areas Wilson plans to reinforce this offseason.

The title essentially says it all. Having trouble deciding between making cookies or making brownies? Your problem is now solved – bake these beauties up and you get the best of both worlds. This is yet another installment of cookies I made as a result of the Top 10 list you all helped me create. I have loved trying new cookie recipes each week, and with this being the next to last recipe (next week is ginger cookies!), I'm going to have to come up with another food genre to get input on. Any ideas? Maybe favorite recipes with summer fruits, ice cream flavors, ethnic dish or something like that? Feel free to throw out some suggestions.
Now we must get back to talking about these cookies. They are not for the faint of heart, and if you are only a fair-weather chocolate fan, these will either fully convert you or may be too much for you. Since I am an all-chocolate-all-the-time chocolate fan, it goes without saying that these cookies razzled and dazzled me to the point of wanting to hide them from others. I didn't really hide them, but I was tempted. Actually, it wouldn't hurt to stash a few of these in the freezer for when chocolate hunger pangs strike. A quick turn in the microwave and you will be beyond satisfied.
I tried to determine if I really think these cookies are better than brownies. That, of course, required serious research. Research, in this case, would be defined as taste testing. And the result is – I just can't choose. These cookies are rich, delicious and are like a jolt of espresso for your taste buds. But brownies, oh brownies. In all of their dense, fudgy glory and endless variations… they just can't be replaced. So, be prepared to make these, love them, and then alternate between them and your favorite brownie when you can't decide if you want a cookie or brownie.
I'm normally not a cookie dunker, but these were absolutely superb dunked in a glass of cold milk. So pour yourself a tall glass and enjoy! (And then come back and let me know if you think these really are better than brownies!)
More chocolatey goodness:
Chocolate Ice Cream
No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Cookies
Chipster-Topped Brownies
Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Brownies
French Chocolate Brownies
16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 eggs
1⅓ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set it over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until completely melted and smooth.
3. In the meantime, stir together the eggs, vanilla and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
4. In a small bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
5. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine well. Slowly add the dry ingredients, folding them into the batter. Once all of the flour is incorporated, stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop 1½ tablespoons of dough (a medium cookie scoop's worth) onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are firm on the outside. Like brownies, do not overbake! Leave to cool completely on the baking sheets.
Leave a review below, then snap a picture and tag @thebrowneyedbaker on Instagram so I can see it!

The companies didn't talk today — but Cablevision lobbed a new charge of bad-faith dealmaking at Tribune as its stations in New York, Philadelphia, Denver, and Waterbury, Conn remain dark on the Long Island-based cable operator's systems. Cablevision says that it has agreed to Tribune's terms to carry the Fox station in Hartford. But the broadcaster insists that a deal also include WPIX, a CW station in New York. Cablevision says that constitutes an illegal practice called "tying" and it's "a major barrier to an agreement." The company adds that it is "pursuing both legal and regulatory options" against Tribune's effort to make a package deal. Tribune says there's nothing illegal or wrong about the practice. "All of our retransmission agreements in the past with Cablevision, and the negotiations leading up to them, dating back two decades, have been for all Tribune stations in markets served by all Cablevision systems," it says. Tribune adds that the approach "is more efficient, benefits subscribers, is completely lawful, and fully complies with the FCC's good faith negotiation rules." Tribune says that it agreed to let Cablevision continue to carry its channels until August 24 while they work out a new carriage deal to replace the one that expired today — but Cablevision elected to black out most of them.
Cablevision And Tribune Allege Bad Faith Dealmaking In Carriage Dispute
1 Comment
I am 64 years old and have watched wpix my entire life, I remember when the Yankees were on the channel, officer Joe and the three stooges and allot more programming through the years. Now that I have cablevision I feel that it is the responsibilities of everyone involved to keep WPIX alive on all cable companies whether it be cablevision, fios, direct tv, dish, time warner etc etc etc. I am appauled that I have be inconvenience by both tribune and cablevision both. Can't you guys get along and get your crap together, it is really terrible that you are holding all the viewers hostages especially this time of the year when new shows come out. I understand I can cancel cable and go somewhere else to get wpix but this is an inconvenience to me especially when I have been a customer of theirs for over 32 years. Get your shit together and come to an agreement. now

Head Coach Rob Wright is now in his 16th season as head men's soccer coach at Plymouth State in 2017. Wright took over in 2002 as just the seventh head coach in the 60-year history of the Panther men's soccer program.
Wright has led the Panthers to Little East Conference post-season berths eight times, and ECAC post-season berths in five seasons. He was also an assistant on the 2001 PSU squad that captured the ECAC New England Championship. Wright earned career coaching victory #100 with PSU's final win in 2014.

PSU has registered a 114-124-28 overall record during his tenure, with Wright ranking second on PSU's all time wins list. In addition, the Panthers have appeared in the New England regional rankings on multiple occasions while also cracking the National Top 20.

He attained both a post-graduate degree from Cheltenham & Gloucester College (England), a sport psychology diploma from Newcastle College (England), and the Hanson's coaching award from North Hertfordshire College (England). While at NHC, Wright coached and played as the starting goalkeeper on the team that went to the 1997 National Championship game. Most recently, Wright finished a Master's Degree in Athletic Administration from PSU, graduating with a perfect gpa.
As a coach, Wright has worked across the world for various coaching organizations, including the academy system at English Premiership club Arsenal FC. Wright has attended countless professional games throughout the world, including three FIFA World Cups, and holds the highest coaching licenses in the country; the USSF 'A' license, USSF National Youth License, NSCAA Advanced National License, NSCAA Goalkeeping License, as well as several licenses from the English FA / UEFA.
In addition to his duties at PSU, Wright has served as the head goalkeeping coach for the New Hampshire Olympic Development Program and currently serves the NH ODP program as the head coach for the U-14 Boys Team. In addition, Wright served as a staff coach for the US Youth Soccer Region 1 Boys ODP program, working for seven years with the top players in the Region at the U13, U16, and U17 ages.
As an educator, Wright works for the New Hampshire Soccer Association, teaching United States Soccer Federation National licensing courses to hundreds of coaches in the region. At PSU, Wright teaches for the department of Health & Human Performance, in both the 'Coaching' and 'Sports Management' programs.
Wright currently serves on the NSCAA soccer rankings committee, has served on the NCAA rankings committee, and has worked as the NCAA site rep at multiple NCAA Tournament locations.

World experience in combating counterfeiting possible to distinguish the following types of counterfeit medicines:
The most dangerous kind - a medicine dummy. This is when in a colorful package contains no means of healing substances. Take such a drug is absolutely safe even inside, but in any case where drugs are waiting for the ambulance, the "security" turns deadly: a heart attack does not stop, and develops, the child is not gaining weight, and die of starvation ...
Another type of forgery - a drug that simulates the treatment. Healing substance inside is really found, but cheaper and less effective. This medication is able to fool even the physician who oversees the patient improvement, but not at the pace in which expected.
The third type of fake medicines - reducing the dose of beneficial agent (when it is expensive, then it would be desirable to make more packages) or, alternatively, the excess. This happens when the substance is overdue and needs to be more to sell to not to waste (here the logic is not clear - perhaps nazhivesh, paying for the same money more, and even at the risk, thereby?).
The last of the detected types of forgery - the drug understudy. This is when a manufacturer puts into the drug substance and the right in the correct proportions, but is penalized for JavaScript. This serious defect can be detected only at the stage of quality control.
However, no culling does not interfere with inactive drugs enter the market and generate huge profits. These "drugs" fails to produce a flawless supporting documentation, that is a separate fishery suppliers. So that no one is immune to the pharmacy trade fake.
Counterfeit drugs are found in all countries, and it is possible to develop common rules for all patients. Everyone should learn how to distinguish the true remedy against counterfeiting.
The first commandment of the patient: no need to buy a medicine that is not prescribed by a doctor. A common situation where people take drugs to help their relatives and friends. Do not have to swallow drugs "an acquaintance." Reduce the risk of meeting with a fake.
The Second Commandment: Do not buy drugs with it.
The third rule of thumb to buy medicine, it is desirable in the same pharmacy, but in any case not in the pharmacy kiosk, mobile Canadian Pharmacy, "pharmacy on wheels", "pharmacy closer to home." Experts argue that the fake drugs are most often found in such "unstable" outlets.
The fourth rule of the patient states that if there was the slightest doubt about the authenticity of the drug, require the pharmacist certificate of conformity. It must be remembered that this document should be specified and the international trade name of the drug, the manufacturer, the dosage. If doubt crept into the pharmacy at the hospital, the certificate there another sample. It should not be granted to the group of medicines, and for each separately. If you show the "Group" certificate, then it is suspicious.
The Fifth Commandment: doubts about the authenticity can be solved by a specialist. Talk to your doctor or to another pharmacy employee. Show them the package annotation - they learn to understand such things.
The Sixth Commandment: If the doctor prescribed medicine for you, what did not write before you get it in the pharmacy, consult the handbook. He is not at home? He now has in any library. Properties of the drug and manufacturing plant, on the packaging, should coincide with the book version.
Seventh rule: do not take the time to throw away the package already used drugs. When buying, you can compare the following boxes. Discovered discrepancies you can discuss, as already mentioned, a doctor or a pharmacist from another Canadian pharmacy.
Finally, the eighth commandment: do not need to buy medicine, "prescribed" advertising. Not only because there are also some counterfeits but mainly due to the fact that there is no harmless drugs each have side effects. Take care of yourself. And even if the advertised drug is listed in the list of special grace for no money, it's not worth trying for yourself.
The World Health Organization (WHO) continues to evaluate the market of counterfeit medicines. It is reported that most counterfeits accounted for antibiotics - 42 percent. According to our Ministry of Health, in the country even more counterfeit antibiotics - 47%. Second are hormonal preparations - 11%. 7% are drugs that improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, to antifungal agents and analgesics.

Can you use jenu on the lines above your lips and the marionette lines?
I don't have photos but I want to know if you can use jenu on the vertical lines above your lips and the lines from the corners of your mouth that go towards your chin.
Doctor Answers 1
JeNu for upper lip
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
Currently JeNu has two applications, an eye cream with retinol and a lip plumper. The effect on lines in the skin above the lip will probably not be as effective as injections or laser peels, and the line from the corner of the mouth usually requires something like that as well. Another alternative is focused ultrasound with Ultherapy, which is a different procedure even though it also uses ultrasound. Do not use Jenu with products other than the ones that it comes with. JeNu is a very effective device when used for the right purposes.

Granville in 2000. Prior to Troxel, some states required that grandparents receive visitation rights if the visitation was in the best interests of the child. However, Troxel held that such statutes were unconstitutional as they unduly interfered with a parent's right to make decisions about the child's upbringing.However, courts may occasionally order visitation for grandparents when depriving the child of the grandparents is harmful to the child. Courts will often consider the relationship the grandparents have with the child, the amount of visitation previously, whether or not the parent to whom the grandparents are related by blood is deceased or unavailable to the child. If both parents are living and involved, grandparents visitation rights may often be denied. While courts are given a great deal of discretion in such matters, the legislature has made it clear that it wishes to encourage grandparents' visitation rights."It is the express policy of this state to encourage that a minor child has continuing contact with parents and grandparents who have shown the ability to act in the best interest of the child and to encourage parents to share in the rights and responsibilities of raising their children after such parents have separated or dissolved their marriage."O.C.G.A. § 19-9-3http://law.justia.com/georgia/codes/19/19-9-3.htmlAlso see (regarding grandparents' visitation rights):O.C.G.A. § 19-7-3 http://law.justia.com/georgia/codes/19/19-7-3.html You will want to retain a licensed Georgia attorney for the matter.

Review by Zpete
"The best blizzard game so far!"
I dont usually like RTS type games, im a japan freak myself, into RPGs mostly, but i couldnt look past this game. i actually chose this over FF8 PC! am i an idiot, i think not. Starcraft is the first RTS game ive taken great interest in, everything about this game is sweet.
The game has so many features in it you cant sum it up in a review this small. The game starts off with the coolest title screen ever. you think a title screen couldnt be exiting? well as soon as you boot up, you see a cool render of starcraft, and then you are given a menu where everything is moving around.
Everything about this game is cool, but the best thing is the choice of three classes of fighters. these are all vastly different, There are terrans, my presonal faves, who are the humans about 500 years from now, the protoss, a mecha solider racve who are very concerned about honour on the battlefield, and the zerg, who are the giant bug race who stop at nothing, no matter how underhanded to win.
The graphics, while they are not 3D or flashy, should be commended for being so smooth under the pressure of hundreds of zerglings running amok. the troops are all animated well and all talk to you and you can see them in the little window. the buildings do the old trick of spitting out units about as big as the building itself.
The sound is futuristic, with cool gun effects, screams, and the music also deserves a special mentioning. Each race has a ccouple of different tracks. only two? you think. no no no, these tunes are really long and dont loop for about 7 minutes or something.
The gameplay is really cool, and id reccomend everyone geting their copy. The depth of this game is incredible, and it still makes my top five even today. Oh and you should try the multiplayer mode on blizzards excellent server battle.net.
a very good game overall

Program: we are to design a cafe on the ground floor, architecture education studio on the second and third, and residents on the third fourth and up. (in Italy, the first floor is what we consider in the states as the second)
Again, after looking at my archway, inspired my Leon Alberti, I feel like im trying to do something I know nothing about. The capitals on the columns are fake and are there to simply "look old". well Im not old, and I didnt grow up in the 12 century, and hell its 2005. I think its a terrible mistake to mimic a style of a previous era. I like the arch way, because it pays respect to the historic skyline, but as for now, thats as far as im going with that nestalgic crap. I have classmates that are designing buildings that look like theater sets, trying to look old. I dont know what the answer is. I just think that Borromini would be offended if I tried to copy his style using modern materials

Cruise Review - Carnival Pride 12/5/2010 to Bahamas: Carnival Pride Cruise Review by prism207
Overall Member Rating
Cruise Review - Carnival Pride 12/5/2010 to Bahamas
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Baltimore
For some demographics, I am 34 married with one son (not with us). We travel a lot, domestically and internationally, and I consider myself a bit of a buff with the hospitality industry.
A couple things I will not be able to comment on. First, since we left our 3 1/2 year old with his aunt, i can't comment on the kids club, but I've heard very positive things from friends. Second, we had no interest in the shore excursions. The prices on these seemed out of control; $100 to go to the space center, $160 for a ride and ticket to Disney, really?
Boarding - Compared to Miami and Seattle, the Baltimore port is clearly the More loser. It is primarily a cargo port and boy does it show. That being said, I was pretty impressed with how organized the process was. Boarding was supposed to be 1:30 - 3:30, but after getting there around12:45 we were on the ship by 2pm and snacking while our room was ready by about 2:30. While our experience was very positive, we read plenty of stories of people waiting a long time because the boat was late, and I can believe that given the itinerary.
The Cabin - All inside/outside/standard balconies are 174 square feet. That may not sound like a lot, but it is really quite comfortable. I remember Norwegian being bigger, but that was a Suite, and this felt a lot bigger than our inside window on The Navigator. Amenities were reasonable, but nothing stood out, it was roomy and serviceable. We originally had an inside cabin and were offered and upgrade a few days prior to a balcony for $300. In retrospect, this was a poor decision considering it was winter and we made almost no use of the balcony.
The Ship - The Carnival Pride is significantly smaller than either of the previous ships we've been on, and there is certainly a difference of focus. First, I could feel the movement of the ship. I'm not sure if this was something about the ship, where in the ocean we were or the time of year it was. I spoke to a number of people about this that had been on the cruise previously and they said this was unusual. But still, bring your motion sickness pill. Also, there is more engine noise and general noise than I remember on other ships.
Side Note: I was extremely disappointed that in addition to selling motion sickness pills ($8), they offered (placebo) bands. I should have asked if they sold leeches too.
We had heard/read mixed reviews on the decor, but I quite like it. There are reproductions of famous art everywhere, and they use a lot of darker woods. It actually gives it a more formal feel, not something that you'd expect from the Carnival stereotype. And yes, all that art means you will see some *GASP* renaissance nakedness. On the topic of Carnival, I have read that this ship, due to where it sales from, caters to a very different demographic than their normal target. The audience is significantly older with a lot more families and not so much the college and party ship. I would say my very unscientific observation finds this to be the case.
Because the ship is smaller, there are a lot fewer shops. Yes, there are the obligatory sundries and logo wear, liquor store, and overpriced jewelry store, but I remember a lot more on the other two ships. Personally, this is fine with me; I'm not on the ship to go shopping. There also seem to be a lot more bars and lounges on the ship as a ratio to other public rooms. This might be a result of the demographic they generally target, or might just be my perception. So far of what I've noticed, it is a nice balance of themes in the bars/clubs.
A quick aside and my first big complaint. On our cruise, Monday Night Football was a classic match-up between the (ships) hometown Ravens and the Steelers. I was really looking forward to watching the game in the sports-bar with a crowed who was really into it. Unfortunately, the Sports Bar and the Piano Bar were the only public rooms hosting the game, and both are two of the relatively few places you can smoke and boy were they smoky. At least I was able to watch from my room, but not the same. It would have been nice if there was a smoke-free public lounge with the game on.
Prices on the ship seem to be a bit higher than I remember or expected for some things. Cocktails and tropical drinks are essentially $7 - $9, which really seemed high, but maybe that shows how rarely I drink when out. Also, many of the daily specials come in fancy glasses or coconut cups that are a significant charge-up. $2 for a can of soda seems a bit high, but if you are going to drink a lot, you can get an all-you-can-drink for $6/day. Internet access is very expensive ($0.50/min?) which to me is outrageous considering their cost to run it. During the first day, third day and last day you are near enough to shore to get cell phone/data access.
The Food (Main Dining Hall) - Okay, food is one of my great loves. I love everything about the culture of food, the eating of food, the history of food. I seriously love food; please reference my much-in-need-of-attention blog: joelovestoeT.bloodspot.com. I also think I have very high standards and expectations of food. This is not to say i expect every meal to be 5-star, nor do I expect perfection. When I eat at a burger joint, I expect one thing. When I eat at formal dining, I expect another.
My expectation of the main dining hall on the ship is more toward the formal side. I expect a meal of the quality of a nice sit-down restaurant, and one that I would want to return to.
(Day 1) My starters did not meet expectations, but they were by no means bad. Shrimp cocktail was serviceable, but the shrimp was too small. The fruit was.....fruit. For my entree I had a vegetarian Indian meal. I ordered this because A) I like Indian food B) I figured it would be a good test. I have to say I was pretty impressed, the two curries were very well spiced and the sides were very nice. Only downside was the naan. It was tasty bread, but certainly did not have the texture of naan. My guess is they just can't make it right without a brick pit oven. My wife's fish was decent, but nothing exciting to me (except the Mac & Cheese was surprisingly good). Desert is another test for me. A sub-par restaurant will figure that sugar and fat removes the need to put in effort. My cake was very (surpassingly) good as was my wife's crème bru lay. Comparing to the other ships (remember, one was almost 10 years ago) better than Norwegian, not as good as Royal Caribbean.
The service was a bit disappointing. It certainly wasn't bad, but I do remember it being better on both other ships. Water refills were slow, and one side didn't come until after our meal. I rate the staff as average. Now, that is compared to my other cruising experiences. Compared to what you get at most restaurant and hotels, they are excellent. Our wait staff was attentive, but not exceptional. However, some of the other teams seemed to be much more animated and involved with their tables. They all seemed to be very drawn to kids, which as a parent can be a real help for those few minutes of the waiter entraining the kids.
(Day 2) This was one of the formal nights. We love dressing up, so I was in a tux and my wife was decked out. The majority of people at the dinning were in dark suits, and I think everyone had at least a tie on. Once again, the appetizers were a bit weak, not bad, just weak. The entree I had was the lobster and shrimp. The lobster was good, and the shrimp wad really excellent.
(Day 3) - Food today was a mixed bag, lunch was a very good sandwich while dinner was a mediocre at best beef rib. It tasted like a bad brisket. So far it is the first item I've had that I would consider sub-par. Based on a relatively small sample-set; I am starting to formulate a pattern that the more 'unusual' an item, the better they make it. This could be as a result of many of the cooks being foreign and what an American pallet considers exotic, they are accustom to making
The Food (Buffet) - We did not eat at the buffet very often, except for a few light snacks. For breakfast they have the standard affair: eggs, bacon, sausage, gravy, omelets, etc.... I give is a solid B (there will be no constancy of rating scale). For lunch/dinner they have a couple rotating stations (Asian, French, Mexican, etc...) I was actually a little disappointed in most of them, but there were some hits. At almost any time you can get sandwiches from the deli which were all very good and 24 hour pizza which was pretty good. I compared it to very well done frozen pizza (which I'm sure is what it was).
The Food (Other) - There is also a sushi 'bar' during the evening which was surprisingly good. At 3:30 on sea days there is high-tea which I felt was a bit of a letdown, but my wife was a fan. It was essentially herbal tea, a sandwich, and some cake.
The Food (Steakhouse) - On the Pride (and many carnival ships) there is a boutique restaurant you can eat at for $30/person. I would compare it to a high end steakhouse, very good food and outstanding service. I would recommend dinning there once on your cruise as it really is an excellent value. Many other liners have similar options, and some feel this is pulling focus away from the main dining halls.
The Food (Room Service) - Room service is fine and available 24-hours. You have a selection of sandwiches, burgers, soup, vegetables, fruit, and deserts. Expect a 30-45 min wait, but it's a really nice option at 11pm when you get the munchies.
The Gym - Most days we started with an hour work-out in the gym. The hope is we will only gain 5 pounds instead of the average 10 pounds a cruiser puts on. I'm curious if that number is from all the food or the incredible amount of fruity drinks I see people pounding. The gym was pleasant and the equipment was very nice.
The Entertainment - We did two of the main shows. The first was the main verity show. I am probably not the best judge of quality as it is really not my thing. From what I could tell it was decent, and the crowed seemed to quite like it. It was essentially dancing in a wide range of styles. The second was more music-focused, but once again, I did not get into it. Also, I thought some of the girl's outfits were unnecessarily skimpy. I hear there is a movement towards "real" theater, and I really hope this is true.
The ship has recently added a comedy club where two sets of two comics give a couple different shows. Over the course of the cruise you can probably see six or seven comedy shows. There was a range of talent, but overall I thought they were very good, but certainly not headliners.
While walking around we listened to a lot of live music. There really is a tremendous amount of live music. Virtually all the bars and lounges have live music at one time or another. There is also karaoke and karaoke with a live band (which I thought was a brilliant idea).
We spent some time in the karaoke bar, much more fun than i expected. The clubs and lounges are all very distinct in their look and feel, a very nice variety: disco, piano bar, karaoke bar, comedy club, etc...
We also tried the hot tubs at night. Not as hot as i would like, but I understand why. Also, boy is there a ton of chlorine.
Port Canaveral - I wasn't sure why the ship spends time in Port Canaveral, but according to the ship guide it is basically so people can take day trips to Disney (bizarre in my opinion).
Like I said, we found no interest in the shore excursions, so today was a chance to experience the ship in a quiet fashion. In the part we've enjoyed having the ship a little more to ourselves.
I have to say the ship is a little too quiet. Maybe this is because we've been on the ship so long and people were desperate to get off. Also, because of this some of the food facilities are closed at lunch, including the main dining hall.
Nassau - As the only real city you stop in we did get off the ship in Nassau to walk around. You can take a taxi/ferry to paradise island (where the Atlantis is) for $3-4 and walk around. Note you are limited on where you can go without being a guest or buying one of their day-passes which range from $39 to $119. We walked around the city a little bit, but did not go to any of the sites or museums.
Freeport - I have no idea why they stop here. You are a ways away from anything to see, and you leave by 2pm to make it back to Baltimore on time. The one positive, you are in a working ship-yard so it's pretty cool to watch the operation. I saw lots of cargo being loaded onto ships and a cruise liner in dry-dock being worked on.
Other Thoughts - For those who have not cruised before, things to keep in mind in regards to money. While it is (mostly) all inclusive, that mostly has some significant caveats.
First, this includes the obvious: Spa services (gym is free), alcohol (to some on the ship this was not obvious), gambling, stores on board, excursions, and tipping (which effectively adds $10/day/person)
There are other things you can spend money on: laundry service (very reasonably priced, and unless you are a master packer, you will use), various specialty dining options. On our ship this included a $30 steakhouse and the $90 chefs table (which budget precludes me reviewing). Photo services, exercising classes (yoga, pillages, spinning), special classes (scrap booking), bingo, temporary tattoos.
Also, the topic of drinks: You will pay for soda, bottled water and juice, and specialty coffee shop drinks. You will not pay for tap water, ice tea, coffee, lemonade, dispensed juice. At the main dining hall you can also get cappuccino and espresso. I would recommend bringing a nice water bottle with you to carry water/lemonade and such around. For $6/day for adults you can get soda and bottled juice.
I had one drink special that came in an over the top coconut monkey face. Very cool looking, but I didn't realize it was $17. Also with drinks remember there is a 15% service charge and tax. So the $7.95 drink special is about $9.
The spa is also quite expensive. We have used the spa on other cruises, but on this one they seemed to be focused on high-end services ($125-$175) with a lot of what I consider gimmicks. I was also disappointed to see they had "health" talks which I can guarantee had no scientific/medical backing and were probably there to sell products. They also had an acupuncturist which was disturbing because 1) the rolling seas 2) it's a known scam http://www.ncahf.org/pp/acu.html.The acupuncturist was the only one I saw wearing a lab-coat, though my wife says others had them
Summary - So what is my evaluation? Let me start by saying that I think cruising is one of the best values in vacationing. Our trip for the two of us was $950 after taxes before our upgrade of $300 and tipping of $10/person/day = $140. So for room, board, and entertainment we paid about $1400 for a week-long vacation.
I break my evaluation into three questions: Would I cruise on Carnival again and would I cruise out of Baltimore, and would I cruise in December again. I feel Carnival offers a very good value. While not as nice as Royal Caribbean, it is cheaper. Their ships are more focused on game shows, singing waiters, and alcohol; none of which interest me, but that is purely individual taste. As for cruising out of Baltimore; for someone in the North-East it is amazingly convenient. Not having to fly before/after your relaxing cruise is a huge bonus. Right now there are three liners that use Baltimore and the itineraries are limited and it is not their premier ships. I really hope this grows with time. Finally, would I cruise in December again? On one hand, the price is about half what you might pay in the warmer months, but the fact that you are in very cold weather for half your cruise really does detract from the experience. I would recommend that if your focus is on shows and eating and other activities inside the ship, then it is a tremendous value. If you are into sitting out in the sun and having the tropical experience, then I would reconsider. Finally, I think the room upgrade was virtually a waste of $300. Good trip, fun times, we hope to do it again.
