Oakland Symphony Orchestra Presents the 16th Annual David Daniels Young Artists Concert, 2/10
At 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 10, the Oakland Symphony Orchestra (OSO) will present the 16th Annual David Daniels Young Artists Concert, which will feature the winners of the Oakland University Concerto Competition. The competition is open to all OU music majors.
Gregory Cunningham, conductor of the OSO, said, "The concerto competition is always fiercely contested and all of this year's finalists demonstrated great maturity, poise and artistry."
The winners of the concerto competition are piano major Joe Walters, violin major Emily Hudock, trombone major Luke Perzyk, and voice majors Nicolette Book and Chynna Roose.
All five students chose their pieces with great care, worked to perfect them for many months and will perform with passion, but Joe Walters' performance of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto in G Major will have special meaning for his family.
Joe Walters
Joe's first piano lesson was with his grandfather, Raymond Walters, who died three years ago. Raymond was working on this piece when, as a young man close to the age Joe is today, he was drafted into the army to serve in World War II. Joe is even working from his grandfather's musical score.
"It seems a fitting tribute to the legacy of music his grandfather provided Joe that he should perform this great work," said Joe's piano teacher Rebecca Happel.
The Oakland Symphony Orchestra will perform on the OU campus in Varner Recital Hall, which is surrounded by ample free parking. Maps of the campus are available at oakland.edu/map or by searching for "Varner Hall" on a smart phone.
Tickets are $20 for general admission, $10 for students. Tickets can be purchased in advance with no service fees at startickets.com or by phone at (800) 585-3737. They can also be purchased at the Center for Student Activities Service Window in the Oakland Center or at the Varner Hall Box Office. Complete ticket information is available at oakland.edu/tickets.

Narrowing Your Choices
None of these products directly competes with one another; rather they all complement each other and the virtualization platforms they support. It's possible that an enterprise might implement all four of these products in different applications. This review is intended to show the kinds of functionality available rather than serving as an all-inclusive guide -- there are many competitors for each of the products reviews.
Even the two products closest in functionality, everRun and Avance, have differing approaches to high available, and some organizations might use both in different applications. everRun's true continuous availability provides the level of availability necessary for the most critical applications, whereas Avance offers an easier configuration and lower pricing.
SANmelody (and other storage systems with the same kinds of functionality) allows for a simpler environment and easier management of VM distributed across multiple virtualization servers. Scalent takes this simplification a step further and essentially virtualizes the entire underlying infrastructure that supports virtualization -- network, storage, and VMware management, all in a single integrated platform. vRangerPro offers recovery tools for disaster recovery rather than high availability, enabling backups of VMs that can be restored locally or at a remote datacenter to continue operations after a disaster.
This story, "HADR Brings Resiliency to Virtualization" was originally published by InfoWorld.

This is a list of episodes Death Note anime series contained 37 episodes divided into 2 seasons. It was directed by Tetsurō Araki and animated by Madhouse.
The series was based on the manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, and primarily centers around high school student Light Yagami, who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook titled Death Note that causes the death of anyone whose name is written in it.
The Death Note anime began airing in Japan on October 3, 2006, and finished its run on June 26, 2007, totaling 37 twenty-minute episodes. The series aired on the Nippon Television network "every Tuesday at 24:56".
In North America, the series has been licensed by Viz for residents in the United States to use "Download-to-Own" and "Download-to-Rent" services while it was still airing in Japan. This move is seen as significant because it marks the first time a well known Japanese anime property will be made legally available to domestic audiences for download to own while the title still airs on Japanese television. The downloadable episodes contain the original Japanese audio track and English subtitles, and is available through IGN's Microsoft Windows-only Direct2Drive service. DVDs of the series are also being released, containing both an English dubbed audio track, produced by The Ocean Group, and the original Japanese audio track with optional English subtitles. Viz announced at Anime Expo 2007 that the first DVD was officially released on November 20, 2007, in both regular and special editions, and also confirmed at Comic-Con International 2007 that the first 15,000 copies of each DVD contains collectible figures.
Death Note was slated to make its North American television premiere in Canada on YTV's Bionix programming block on September 7, 2007. However, the show was removed from the schedule at the last minute. The Canadian premiere was pushed back to October 26, 2007, at 10:00 p.m., when it finally premiered. Death Note premiered in the U.S. on October 20, 2007, at 11:30 p.m. on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The show also streams online for free on Adult Swim Video, with a new episode uploaded every Saturday afternoon, on the day of its broadcast premiere. Death Note has also been aired by the anime television network Animax across its respective networks worldwide, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Relight specials
Original anime
The anime series closely follows the original storyline of the first seven volumes of the manga (L's arc) then rushes significantly through Mello and Near's arc by accentuating many action scenes and skipping monologues or long discussions between characters described in the final 5 volumes of the manga series. There are also a few changes on the character designs, adapted by Masaru Kitao, and the order of facts, as well as a few additional scenes not featured in the original manga. It is also set in the year 2007, instead of starting at the year 2003.
A three-hour animated Death Note Rewrite: The Visualizing God (called Death Note Relight: Visions of a God in the American release) TV special aired on Nippon Television in Japan on August 31, 2007, at 8:03 PM. It is a recap which takes place after the series end, where a Shinigami approaches Ryuk in the Shinigami Realm in order to learn more about the human world. Instead, Ryuk tells him of all the events leading up to the Mello and Near arc, about Light Yagami and his rival L. Originally, this special was advertised as a retelling told from Ryuk's point of view, but it doesn't give a different point of view than what was originally told. However, it contains updated dialog, as well as a few new scenes, including an alternate ending.
On August 22, 2008, at 9:03 pm, a second Rewrite special was aired, this one recounting the second half of the series. Unlike the first, it contains notably more in the way of updates, namingly that the mafia plot is omitted - Light's meetings with Kiyomi Takada and Teru Mikami are moved to earlier than occurred in the manga and anime, and they are instead the ones to kill the SPK.

Parmesan Pastry Twists Recipe
These flaky, cheesy breadsticks go nicely with many different main courses. I serve the twists in a festive napkin-lined basket for the holidays.
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 1. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, pepper and garlic. On a lightly floured surface, unfold one pastry sheet and brush with egg white. Sprinkle with a fourth of the Parmesan mixture; lightly press into pastry. Flip pastry sheet and repeat.
- 2. Cut sheet into 12 strips; cut each strip in half. Twist strips several times; place on greased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet. Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 4 dozen.

Eight Points, Nine Seconds PreviewReview: Jared Wade: Bulls Give Pacers the Bizness
Miserable. Derrick Rose warned the Pacers that this would happen
and, after shooting a woeful 1-for-9 in the first half, he delivered on
his promise. Both he and Luol Deng orchestrated a third-quarter
rout, during which the Bulls two perimeter All-Stars hit 5 combined
three-pointers to help their team out-score Indiana by 20.
When you are a team even a good team that is headed to play
the conferences (and maybe the NBAs) best squad on its home floor
for the second time in a month, no one really should expect you to
win. The Pacers have set the road warrior bar pretty high by
winning in Chicago, Los Angeles (against the Lakers), Dallas, Orlando
and Boston in the early part of this season. So it was certainly a win
that felt within reach even as the Pacers sat on a one-point lead at
halftime. But losing this game isnt a problem.
Getting your *** handed to you while getting outscored 50-29 over
the final 24 minutes is, however. One loss, even if its a 92-72 loss
to a division rival, in the middle of a truncated schedule isnt going
to make or break this team, but they have to be a little embarrassed
and somewhat, at least temporarily, demoralized.

The Onion Spud Webb Getting Smaller And Smaller Every
Time People Recount 1986 Dunk ContestATLANTAIn recent accounts of Spud Webb's astounding
victory in the 1986 NBA Slam-Dunk Contest, basketball
fans across the nation have reportedly exaggerated the
diminutive point guard's size by greatly diminishing his
height with each retelling of the event. "I totally
remember he was like 3-foot-5-inches tall and he did
this amazing 180-degree reverse double-pump slam,"
Hawks fan Eric Davis said of the 5-foot-7 Webb, who
was 4-foot-9 and dunked from the foul line the last time
Davis told the story. "Spud really wasn't much bigger
than a basketball. He just blew everybody away in the
final round when he rode into the arena on a hamster,
ripped off his G.I. Joe doll uniform warm-up pants,
threw the ball at the backboard, ran between a small
child's legs...CONTINUE READING THE ONION

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Protocol Independent Multicast Working Group of the IETF. Title : Authentication and Confidentiality in PIM-SM Link-local Messages Author(s) : W. Atwood, et al. Filename : draft-ietf-pim-sm-linklocal-07.txt Pages : 31 Date : 2009-02-26 RFC 4601 mandates the use of IPsec to ensure authentication of the link-local messages in the Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) routing protocol. This document specifies mechanisms to authenticate the PIM-SM link-local messages using the IP security (IPsec) Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) or (optionally) the Authentication Header (AH). It specifies optional mechanisms to provide confidentiality using the ESP. Manual keying is specified as the mandatory and default group key management solution. To deal with issues of scalability and security that exist with manual keying, an optional support for automated group key management mechanism is provided. However, the procedures for implementing automated group key management are left to other documents. This document updates RFC 4601.

Wow! This past season was so incredible. I am so thankful for the opportunity this year to video blog in partnership with Ford. My favorite part was getting to know RIP City fans through communication on the Web site. Please check out some of the behind-the-scenes footage from the year!
NBA Madness Finale: Day 4
Another early morning, and after a big yummy breakfast, we headed out for a tour of a beautiful temple called the Lung Shan of Manka. Our tour guide taught us many different things about all the different Gods, offerings, and reasons why many people in Taiwan visit the temple. Since it was so HOT we were then taken to enjoy a local treat that many people eat to cool off on a hot day. It consisted of sweetened shaved ice that was topped with beans, mochi, baby peanuts, potato roots, taro, lentils, and green peas. As they set the bowls down in front of us we all tasted it despite its strange appearance.
NBA madness was our next adventure, our first stop was the restroom which is always fun because we enjoy being escorted by the many, many security men. After dancing on the hottest day here so far, we enjoyed some authentic McDonald's fried chicken and 60 chicken nuggets, each! Just kidding. But seriously that's how much food they provided for us, we are very well taken care of.
After a short break at the hotel we headed back to NBA Madness for the closing ceremony. This had to be the largest group of fans yet! We helped out with some fan giveaways including tickets to the upcoming sold out NBA game, Nuggets vs Pacers, in October. The fans were ecstatic as we handed out event posters and other NBA gear. The NBA Madness Taiwan closed with a bang and we are thrilled to have had an opportunity to be a part of it.
NBA Madness Taiwan: Day 3
SURPRISE! In the middle of the night Caitlin's bag finally arrived. Thinking we would be fast asleep all night we were very surprised to wake up at the 5 o'clock hour. Excited to get back down to the breakfast buffet, we headed down early to fill our bellies.
Our first destination was the Grand Hyatt where we found out that we were supposed to be staying but plans changed due to the fact that the hotel is "haunted." We had fun taking pictures next to the two photos that are there to protect all of the guests who dared to stay there. After performing in the nice air-conditioned venue and taking photos with fans at the DHL VIP Party we were served an amazing meal with all kinds of delicious food. Full to the
max we headed back to the hotel for some afternoon rest.
Since we were done for the day we got ready to head out on the town for the night. Our tour guide, Howard of NBA China, had a wonderful plan laid out for us. Our first destination was back to Taipei 101 to experience the building from the top! We made our way to the roof on the elevator that only takes 37 seconds, we felt a bit sick to say the least. What an amazing view and special feeling to be looking at Taipei from the tallest building in the world.
Taiwan Day 2
Our first day in Taiwan was wonderful. We woke up early and headed straight to breakfast. Talk about a lot of food!!! Dim sum, a chocolate fountain, many tropical fruits, an assortment of pastries, fresh juice, congee, a very large assortment of authentic Asian cuisine, and much, much more!!! As we made our way out of the hotel for the day, we met up with Jordan Farmer of the LA Lakers, as he would be venturing around Taipei and the NBA Madness with us.
We packed up all of our things for the day and headed out to "Spark," the club we would be performing at later that night which is at the bottom of Taipei 101, the largest building in THE WORLD (including 91 floors)!! We took a look at the venue and set our two routines, "damaged" and "walk this way."
Our next destination was the Shin-Kong Mitsuikoshi Shopping center where The 2009 NBA Madness Taiwan event is being held. We were greeted by lots of happy faces. We were very excited to find that we had our very own "VIP" room including air-conditioning and lots of yummy snacks. We took a look around and were stoked to find a larger than life size poster of our faces and BlazerDancers written in Taiwanese! We did a few high kicks to show our enthusiasm =)
We were given a quick lesson on common Taiwanese phrases and proper etiquette to best interact with local media and all of the fans. Next we headed out to the stage to perform for the first time!! We had a great time dancing, answering questions for the media, and signing things for the fans. The weather was way hot so it took a lot of energy! We were part of a quick tour of the activities at the event where we spent a few minutes in each tent. Mari played some bball and nearly clinched the win over Jordan Farmer, phhhhhh Lakers! We were part of a photo including the NBA championship trophy where we took measurements so we could find a place for ours in the Rose Garden this season! Hoping to arrive back at the hotel to find Caitlin's suitcase, we were very sad to find that it hadn't arrived yet.
After some rest back at the Shangri-La hotel we all headed out to Spark in our only uniform to perform and mingle. We had a lot of fun walking the red carpet and dancing in the famous night club, in the Taipei 101. Next we headed back to our hotel for some much needed rest.
BlazerDancers in Taiwan
Our once in a lifetime journey started at 8:00 am at PDX. We began our trip to NBA Madness 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan and Hong Kong!
So much excitement in the air as none of us have ever been to China. This is the first International trip for all of the ladies as BlazerDancers. Our journey took us through San Francisco, directly to Tokyo and finally about 20 hours later to Taipei, Taiwan! Of course through customs and the challenge of finding our way to correct baggage claim area. Luckily we have Eri who understands some of the language and was able to guide us through the airport. Or first challenge – Caitlin's luggage with all of her uniforms, shoes, accessories is missing! Our first event is in the morning and Caitlin has nothing to wear! Luckily each dancer packed one uniform and shoes in their carryon just in case of emergency! Thank goodness for that last minute idea. Always be prepared!
We were greeted at the exit by our fabulous escorts Doris and Zeno who will be with us for our stay here in Taiepei. The nicest two people we could be lucky to work with. The second we exit the airport we're overwhelmed by the heat and humidity! It must have been 90 degrees but it felt like 110. Our Rockstar Energy Drink sweats were perfectly comfortable for the long journey here but it was time for a quick little adjustment to survive the temperature. As we traveled for an hour by bus to the fabulous Shangri-La hotel in Taipei, we were able.to see the city by night. It never sleeps. It's like New York City. What stood out most…..the Vespas1 They're everywhere. We were later told there are 22 million people here…..and……22 million Vespas! One of our hosts says he has three of his own. Just imagine New ork City cab drivers on Vespas, weaving in and out of traffic and serious speed. Everyone rides them, adults, kids and familes, yes we saw three people on one Vespa! We're hoping to rent some for a tour of the city while we're here.
Once checked in at the Shangri-La we had a late dinner at one of the many bar/restaraunts here at the hotel on the 38 floor. We were able to see the beautiful city of Taipei by night and for the first time, the tallest buidling in the world, Taipei 101. Amazing! Can't wait to see it up close.
Time to nestle in and try to get some sleep. NBA Madness 2009 begins tomorrow!
Wan an – good night!
Caitlin, Taren, Cristi, Eri, Mari, and Mary Ellen

It's All About "The Donald"
A salad of celebrities has stirred a sassy new season of The Apprentice. The season's tasks have showcased the business talents of stars, such as country music singer Trace Adkins, actress Marilu Henner and U.S. Gold Medalist Jennie Finch. The Celebrity Apprentice isn't the first time we have seen celebs take advantage of personal networks yank in dough for charities, and its certainly not the first time a Baldwin Brother has gained publicity on a reality show. The Celebrity Apprentice contestant Stephen Baldwin leaped into the reality genre on two seasons of Celebrity Mole and Celebrity Blackjack with his brother, Billy. His other brother, Daniel has also made appearances on Celebrity Fit Club and Celebrity Rehab. Not all of the contestants are as predictable as Omarosa's persona. The unexpected addition of Tiffany Fallon, a Playboy Playmate of the Year, showed that some beauties are pretty darn intelligent.
While the celebrity contestants brainstorm business tactics, Trump and his crew share their wisdom in "The Trump Blog: Ideas and Opinions from Donald Trump and TrumpU Faculty." I was surprised to see that the billionaire entrepreneur even takes time to visit the blogosphere. "The Donald" is a business world guru, and he surely recognizes the importance of memorable PR.

States in fiscal distress
The 2007-10 recession has imposed significant fiscal hardships on state and local governments. The result has been state budget deficits and the need to increase state taxes, cut spending, and withdraw funds from state "rainy day" accounts. The primary cause of state budget "gaps" has been the rise in the level of state unemployment. There is no evidence that these gaps are related to state political institutions, a state's prior receipt of federal funding, or possibly favored access to key congressional budget committees. The federal government has responded to these gaps with the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 to aid states in fiscal distress and provide economic stimulus. Though intended as insurance for fiscal distress, ARRA covers at most $0.23 of each dollar of a state's recession-induced budget gap. These funds are provided through a large per capita payment to each state, independent of any level of state deficit. AARA was also intended as targeted assistance for stimulating local economies, but its funding is uncorrelated with state unemployment rates. ARRA funding appears to be decided by congressional politics, given Congress's desire to pass a major spending and tax relief package as quickly as possible. States are important "agents" for federal macroeconomic policy, but agents with their own needs and objectives.

Nissan Helps Create Great First Impressions Via Personalized Facebook Experience
- Inspired by the all-new 2013 Nissan Sentra, automaker's "Impress With Sentra" program features customized video, fun and prizes -
NASHVILLE, TN--April 10, 2013: A powerful first impression makes all the difference. For anyone looking to put their best foot forward, Nissan is introducing the "Impress With Sentra" program, an interactive Facebook experience where participants can create and share a personalized video featuring award-winning actor Omar Epps (House, M.D.; Love and Basketball) providing them with a glowing introduction.
Starting today, upwardly mobile Facebook users can visit ImpressWithSentra.com to have Epps talk them up as an adrenaline junkie, an incurable romantic or a business dynamo in a customized, shareable video. Participants will also be able to enter to win one of three grand prizes: a $1,000 Great American Days Experience gift card for an adventure-filled day for two, a one-night stay at an upscale hotel and dinner at an exclusive restaurant for a romantic night for two, or a $1,000 Nordstrom or Brooks Brothers gift card for a stylish new wardrobe. Contest entries will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 1 st.
"Who doesn't want to turn heads and get noticed when making a first impression?" said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Marketing, Nissan North America. "We're giving everyone a chance to look their best, with a little help from Nissan and the power of social media."
Inspired by the all-new 2013 Nissan Sentra, Nissan developed the "Impress With Sentra" program to build awareness of the vehicle among potential customers looking for a stylish and fuel-efficient small car. Sentra's all-new design is elegant, modern and refined, reflecting a "professional" character targeted at upwardly bound buyers who aspire to drive something more premium than some of the other designs in the segment. The Sentra focuses on class-above design standards inside and out, as well as efficiency in engineering. Not surprisingly, the all-new seventh generation design stands as the most innovative and sophisticated Sentra in the nameplate's 30-year history.

Gum Diseases
Gum graft surgery
I recently had gum graft surgery and everything seems to be going fine but what is really worrying me is the fact that I cannot brush my teeth. I had to go to a periodontist about 2 years ago because I have gum disease and collect plaque and tarter more easily than most people. They had to do a deep clean on my teeth and since then I usually spend about half an hour a night doing everything that they told me to do to PREVENT from having to have this done again. I am doing great with my gum disease and have improved alot but the recession which is not fixable was bothering me so I had the grafts. But now, not being able to do the things that I NEED to do with my teeth is driving me crazy because I feel that 1 to 2 weeks of not brushing my teeth is really going to ruin my gums again. Should I go get a cleaning asap whenever I can or is this going to cause alot of complications in the near future? I can`t floss either because I can barely open my mouth. Also how much damage happens when you do not brush your teeth for this long?
We generally prescribe an antibacterial mouth rinse low in alcohol concentration (chlorhexidine) for the first two weeks after surgery. We also perform professional cleaning within one month because patients may have some accumulation. You should not mechanically brush or floss the surgical because this may move the graft material and will hurt the healing.

How to start a website on Yoga?
Is it easy to start a website on Yoga?
I came to writing this article specially focus on people interested in starting a website on yoga. Yoga is a practice in which our body and mind get relaxed and maintain our equilibrium by keeping us calm. You like Yoga. You know the importance of Yoga. You want to share this great tool to everybody. You are seeking a method to publish your thoughts on yoga in a website. Then This article is for you.
First of all you have to collect relevant yoga content websites from internet. Just search on google or yahoo is not a suitable way to get a list of good Yoga websites. So you need to check each and every website which Google/yahoo listed in their search result page. Then after, develop contents for your yoga website. Arrange your articles in a convenient way. You can make categories like "beginners guide to Yoga", "Different Poses of Yoga", "Advanced yoga poses" etc. Then whenever you publish your knowledge as a yoga article you can put that content on related categories. Hence your visitors can easily browse through your yoga website.
Designing for your yoga website
If you want a good design for your yoga related website, but not know how to design one, just search for yoga templates. In internet there is lot of free yoga website templates already available. Choose one and customise the design for your website. You can also collect various poses' pictures from internet.
How to Publish Your Yoga site?
After content creation and designing, you can publish your website. Free hosting services are not an unusual thing in this modern world. Pick anyone of the free providers and publish your site. But you must keep an important thing while you are publishing a website.
Do not copy Yoga site content from anywhere.
never copy content from other websites. just copy-paste creation downgrade your pagerank in search engine directories like google, yahoo etc. In the first step I taught you to get an idea about yoga by reading yoga websites. It never mean copy contents from such yoga sites. You have to derive or integrate the content in your own way.

Confiscated item? - Really?: Oasis of the Seas Cruise Review by MissScarlett
Overall Member Rating
Confiscated item? - Really?
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
After all that to get my bag back - we journeyed on.
The items I miss is the music piped in through speakers - since no fan - we put the TV on the guide channel which had music and covered the lighted TV up with couple towels to get the music. (forgot Ipod)
I had read a lot of negative reviews regarding the size of the Oasis class ships and found that you cant always believe what you read. The main times you felt the crowd from close to 6k people were port days and dinner/show/parade times- elevators were the worst. The on screen thermometer for the food venues are not real reliable either. We went the the More Windjammer 4 times and always found a seat right away. Johnny Rockets for breakfast was awesome. We don't do the extra cost food venues - we pay enough to be on the cruise. You can get a angus sirloin steak or pasta every night in the Opus dining room - we went each night. Ordered 2 starters and 2 entrees many times. You order it, they will bring it. Yummmm!!!!
It did rain a lot - I guess due to the tropics - and we had 65 mph windspeed - boat was rocking pretty good that night - other boat(celebrity millenium) had to go around the winds - they were docked beside us at Cozumel. Guess smaller ships can't handle it. :(
Overall - we had a great time - the shows were awesome - Hairspray/ Come fly with me and the Frozen in time were the best. I thought the comedy show was terrible.
The only problem with I guess all the ships is they tend to schedule fun things too close or same time as late dinner time or other show times and makes you choose one or the other. We chose the comedy show over the Quest game - I am sorry I didn't get up and leave the comedy show and go back to the Quest.
Shore excursions - we had the two main ports and both times the last excursion was cancelled and we were not told - make sure you keep the ships time always. We luckily were able to catch the Celebrity's excursion schedule in Cozumel.
Richard Spacey - cruise director is hilarious. Not bad on the eye either :) Have to see him as the Indian (village people) during the 70's dance party.
We had deck 6 (same as boardwalk)made it easy to get to most things - just the solarium and opal theatre were at the other end. They did finally make it where you can walk thru the casino (left side-no smoking area) instead of having to go up and over to get to the theatre.
Now that we have done the largest ship - for the amenities we actually use - would probably go back to the Freedom class of ships. The Liberty was awesome as well.
Hope this helps a little. Good to see and experience once - but not something I need to do again. Less

Cabin review: D56632 Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin 6632 - this ship did not have enough drawer space like older ships - did have plenty of hangers in the closet. Deck 6 is great - same as the boardwalk and mid ship is good since can get to lots of things quickly - just take right or left.Read All Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony (D5) Reviews >>

A Virgin Airlines flight attendant sacked for not conforming to the carrier's hairstyle bible has won his unfair dismissal battle.
The airline struggled for 15 months to get its employee, David Taleski, to comply with the company's personal grooming manual, The Look Book, before sacking him in October 2011.
But Mr Taleski provided medical evidence that he felt compelled to wear his hair long because he was suffering from a body-image disorder and had even taken to the skies in a wig to try to solve the impasse.
The epic struggle over Mr Taleski's hairstyle involved many meetings with senior airline management and at one point Virgin chief executive John Borghetti was asked to intervene.
The unfair dismissal case before the Fair Work Commission took a year, two failed marathon conciliations and reams of evidence, much of it relating to haircuts, The Look Book and wigs.
The commission heard evidence from a Virgin manager denying the haircuts authorised by The Look Book were too conservative and that it simply ''reflected how a typical guest expects a male employee to look''. The manager conceded though that the manual ''reflected the most conservative interpretation of what the typical guest would expect''.
The trouble started in July 2010 when the attendant told his bosses he would be growing his hair longer than the stipulated collar-length for religious reasons, but soon afterwards said the new hairstyle was due to a medical condition that he was uncomfortable discussing.
During the next 13 months, Mr Taleski provided Virgin with five medical certificates which, he argued, proved he was suffering from body dysmorphia disorder, relating to the length of his hair. But Virgin never accepted that the certificates provided a diagnosis that explained the attendant's persistent refusal to cut his hair.
After he was grounded because of his hair in April 2011, Mr Taleski suggested a slicked-back ponytail look as a compromise, only to be rebuffed by airline managers because The Look Book has no male ponytails.
The section in The Look Book for females, however, describes a ponytail as ''sleek, practical and shows off healthy hair to its full advantage''.
The cabin crew member was allowed to return to the skies wearing a wig between July and October 2011, despite his worries the hairpiece would expose him to ridicule and interfere with his hair transplant.
But Virgin sacked Mr Taleski in October 2011 claiming that he had failed to provide medical evidence when asked for, that he persistently refused to conform to The Look Book, and had behaved improperly by trying to involve the airline's chief executive.
But Fair Work commissioner Anna Lee Cribb found Mr Taleski's hairpiece could confirm with The Look Book because the manual was effectively silent on the matter of a wig.
She also found that the attendant had provided medical evidence to back his claims of body dysmorphia disorder.
She ordered Virgin to give Mr Taleski his job back. Virgin is understood to be considering appealing the decision.

Spotlight on Learning Styles
Teacher strategies for learner success
- Book
|Marjorie Rosenberg
|Delta Teacher Development Series
|April 2013
|learning styles
Key features
Spotlight on Learning Styles is available as both paperback and e-book. The e-book is available in the Kindle store where you can download the free Kindle reading app for every major smartphone, tablet, and computer.
Spotlight on Learning Styles focuses on how we learn rather than what we learn. It sheds light on our personal learning preferences and what we can do to learn and to teach more successfully – so that:
- Teachers discover the characteristics of their own teaching styles.
- Learners discover the characteristics of their own learning styles.
- Teachers and learners can apply this knowledge to the classroom.
The book also provides opportunities for us all to step outside our 'comfort zones', multiplying our possibilities for success.
Spotlight on Learning Styles contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development:
Part A explains the importance of our preferred learning styles – and their influence on how learners learn and how teachers teach – and how we can create a more inclusive classroom, integrating and motivating all our students, each with their individual strengths and weaknesses.
Part B concentrates on activities we can employ to teach more comprehensively and enable all our students to become successful learners. We discover our own preferred learning styles and those of our students, and activate the Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic sensory channels, the Global–Analytic cognitive processes and the Mind Organisation model of perception.
Part C introduces further approaches, points to further activities beyond the purely linguistic, and suggests further reading – thus widening the spotlight and providing a springboard for exploring new horizons of discovery and development, of learning and of teaching.
...it was with a good deal of curiosity that I began working my way through this intriguing title.
Wayne Trotman
EL Gazette, June 2013 PDF
All in all, this is one of the better books that I've seen on the subject and a must-have for any staffroom or training library.
Sebastian Turnbull
ELTAS Ezine , July 2013 PDF
To sum up, this book is a wonderful mixture of theoretical information and practical activities and would be suitable both for those who know nothing about the subject as well as those who are already implementing the styles in their classrooms.

"Higher quality milk through
P.O. Box 600
Phone: (845) 326-5600
The transition phase between pregnancy and lactation is the most critical period during the year for a dairy cow. How well she moves through this transition period will set the expectations for her entire lactation performance. If she suffers with metabolic problems due to poor feed intake her overall production and the quality of the milk she produces will suffer throughout her entire lactation. In those first weeks after calving, she will go into a negative energy state, where feed intake doesn't meet energy required to meet her genetic potential for milk production. Thus, she calls upon her body reserves of fat and protein to make up this deficit. If liver function isn't at its optimum during this time, she can develop a fatty liver, which will result in her running the risk of ketosis, displaced abomasums (DA), retained placenta (RP), etc. Providing choline, an essential nutrient for liver fat metabolism helps the liver to maintain its optimum capabilities. Reashure® is the only product on the market that provides a rumen stable choline that can escape rumen degradation and be delivered for absorption in the small intestine. Choline is important in converting non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) from body fat reserves into valuable very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) which can be used by the cows as a functional energy source during this negative energy balance period. Research from the University of Missouri has shown that providing choline to the liver helps the cow reach her genetic potential during this time. They found greater milk production, while producing more total fat and protein in milk than cows not receiving choline. This demonstrated that those cows receiving Reashure handled the transition phase better and were more valuable members of the production herd. For more details on this important research, click on the links below. Other important research on Reashure can also be accessed through those links.

DETROIT - James Craig begins his first day as Detroit police chief Monday. A $225,000 salary for Detroit's new police chief is turning heads in the struggling city.
Council member Ken Cockrel Junior, a former mayor, said that James Craig's salary is "absolutely insane," even if crime is a problem.
Bill Nowling, a spokesman for Detroit's emergency manager, says the pay range was increased 60 percent during the search for a new chief to make the city competitive with other cities.
Craig, a Detroit native, will have a two-year contract. Nowling says he was paid more than $150,000 as police chief in Cincinnati, a much smaller city.
Council member JoAnn Watson is defending Craig's pay, saying it's a unique job. Meanwhile, police are moving into a new headquarters for the first time in 90 years.

Mother Love on Conquering Diabetes
Mother Love, co-host of CNBC's "dLife" and Glucerna spokeswoman, had no intention of becoming a poster child for diabetes. "I didn't want people looking in my shopping cart and I didn't want to eat any differently, but I also didn't want to be sick," reveals the motivational speaker and author of "Half the Mother, Twice the Love" (Atria Books), which details how she went from a size 22 to a size 10 to beat diabetes. After watching half her family die from complications of the disease, she decided to take charge of her health -- and help others do it, too. Here, her best advice for overcoming a disease that affects 3.7 million African-Americans...

The Voice is back and all you fans haven't got long to wait.
The new series will begin on Saturday, January 11 at 7pm on BBC One, and with Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson joining the coaching panel, it's going to be another exciting series.
The pair will replace Jessie J and The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue.
And it's all change as JLS singer Marvin Humes and Big brother presenter Emma Willis will take over from Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates as the show's hosts.
Kylie seems a popular choice, and Jessie J thinks the 45-year-old will change it all for the better.
She told Digital Spy last month: "Kylie will be able to teach them things that I couldn't. I think it's really important that it changes."
And Marvin joined the former judge in applauding Kyle, and told the site: "When you meet her she just has this 'Kylie effect', the aura around her is just amazing."

Believe it or not, the Portage Trail Conference Tournament is a little more than two weeks away.
This year's rumble will take place Feb. 1 and 2 at — a week earlier than usual to accommodate the state team championships.
This past week went a long way to setting up the battle lines at the PTC Tournament.
Barring a major upset, a three-team showdown for the Metro Division title appears inevitable.
Ravenna survived its gauntlet week by going 4-0, beating Kent Roosevelt and Springfield Tuesday at Springfield, before downing Field and Norton Thursday at Kent Roosevelt.
The Ravens completed the Metro Division dual meet schedule at 6-1, clinching a first-pace tie.
Crestwood and Coventry each improved to 5-1 on Thursday, with each getting past Streetsboro and Springfield at Streetsboro.
Coventry will wrap up its division schedule Tuesday at home vs. Norton, while Crestwood travels to Field Jan. 24 for its final dual.
Both teams will be favored in those encountered, which would set up a three-way tie to be broken at the tournament.
Meanwhile in the County Division, it's Rootstown's title to lose.
The Rovers' 39-34 win Thursday at Southeast — the first in years, according to coach Craig Wise — has the Rovers at 4-0 in the County Division with only a match with Mogadore between them clinching first place.
Wise noted his team is "a tournament team" this year, so he feels he's good about his team's chances come February.
The Pirates, however, finished the dual meet season at 3-2 in the division and now need a huge amount of help repeat as champions.
Southeast likely will finish third in the County Division dual race, as Woodridge sits at 3-1 with only a match against a decimated Garfield squad remaining.
Hard times at Garfield
Speaking of G-Men, perhaps no team in the County has had a rougher go of it this year than Garfield.
Already hit with the loss state qualifiers Kevin Stock and Tanner Bontrager at the outset of the season, the G-Men lost state runner-up Aaron Yonker to a dislocated shoulder at the Brecksville Holiday Invitational Tournament.
Yonker remains upbeat about returning this season, but Alan Harbert and Co. can be forgiven for feeling snakebitten this winter.
Many of the PTC's squads will have one last chance to sharpen their tournament skills this coming weekend.
The Bill Dies Memorial Tournament returns to Akron Firestone Jan. 18 and 19 and is loaded with PTC talent. Coventry, Garfield, Kent Roosevelt, Norton, Rootstown and Woodridge all will be in attendance.
Wrestling starts Jan. 18 at 3 p.m. and Jan. 19 at 10 a.m. with the finals Jan. 19 at 6 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Top Gun Tournament in Alliance returns Jan 18 and 19. This is same site at the Division II district meet.
Field, Ravenna, Southeast and Streetsboro will tangle at the Top Gun.
Wrestling starts at 10 a.m. Jan. 18 and 19, with finals set for 5 p.m.

text: RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: RAM) today announced that it has reached an agreement in principle to sell a majority interest in the company's Electra/Burkburnett field, located in Wichita and Wilbarger Counties, Texas, to Argent Energy Trust, a recently formed Canadian energy trust. Argent has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian regulatory authorities for an initial public offering of its trust units in Canada. The preliminary prospectus describes Argent's intent to acquire an undivided 90% interest in RAM's Electra/Burkburnett property with a portion of the IPO proceeds and sets out the expected terms of the transaction. The sale is contingent upon the successful completion of the IPO, the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase and sale agreement and the negotiation and execution of an agreement for the further development of the property with RAM continuing to serve as operator following the closing. RAM plans to use the anticipated proceeds from the sale of its working interest in the Electra/Burkburnett properties to reduce the indebtedness outstanding under the company's senior secured credit facilities. The balance outstanding under the facilities at June 30, 2011 was $205 million, composed of $75 million of term debt bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 9% and $130 million under the revolving credit facility with a current usage-based interest rate of LIBOR plus 3%. RAM expects to apply $75 million of the sale proceeds to repay in full the high-cost term loan facility, with the balance, less fees, prepayment premiums and other transaction expenses, applied to reduce current borrowings under the revolver. Closing would be expected to occur sometime in early October 2011, provided a successful completion of the Argent IPO and the satisfaction of all closing conditions transpire. The offering of trust units of Argent Energy Trust will be made within the United States only by Argent to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

WSOP Notebook: Norman Chad FT, $50k attendance and more
Another weekend at the World Series of Poker means plenty to talk about, as the usual Sunday $1k NLHE event got underway as well as the $50 Poker Players Championship. There were also several tournaments winding down, including the $3k NLHE which will pit Jackie Glazier against Greg Ostrander on Monday as Glazier tries to become the second female bracelet winner of 2012, and one of the ESPN hosts of the WSOP made the final table of the $2,500 O8/Stud-8 tournament.
Poker Players Championship attendance down
The WSOP has seen attendance go down in a number of events, but the $50k Poker Players Championship may be one of the most disappointing as it's considered one of the Jewels of the poker world in terms of the tournament's prestige. Once again the tournament is off the ESPN television schedule, and it seems to have hurt the turnout.
So far 104 players have registered for the event, with late registration open up until the start of Day 2 on Monday. Even with a few stragglers registering on Monday (my guess is there will be less than 5) the tournament will likely end as the second lowest in the seven-year history of the event –in 2009 ESPN dropped the tournament from the TV schedule after a terrible on-air performance by 2008 champ Scotty Nguyen who had one too many cocktails while playing, and also because the tournament was not a No Limit Holdem event. ESPN's decision to drop the event from the TV schedule saw attendance plummet, from about 140 players to just 95.
Norman Chad finishes 6th in Event #42
As Oleksii Kovalchuk picked-up his second WSOP bracelet in as many years, most of the focus at the final table was on Norman Chad, the ESPN commentator whose voice and one-liners have become synonymous with the WSOP. Chad managed a very good showing in the event before bowing out in 6th place, but he did pocket a nice payday of over $36k for his efforts.
1. Oleksii Kovalchuk — $228,014
2. George Danzer — $140,825
3. Mark Gregorich — $90,829
4. Danny Ratigan — $65,812
5. Yuval Bronshtein — $48,387
6. Norman Chad — $36,093
7. Wing Wong — $27,313
8. Tim Burt — $20,966
Jackie Glazier going for gold
With Allyn Jaffrey Shulman's 2012 WSOP bracelet in the Seniors Event having an asterisk in some people's mind, Jack Glazier is trying to completely put to rest the streak of open-events without a bracelet by the ladies. Glazier will be taking a 3-to-1 chip advantage into heads-up play against Greg Ostrander on Monday, as she looks to win her first WSOP bracelet, and the first in a completely open even by a female since 2008.

Very good hostel in the town center ! The staff is adorable and usefull, there are a lot of free facilities like washing machine, towels, computer with internet, a great kitchen and very clean showers. There is no common-room so people can be noisy when they coming back at 4am in the morning but the beds are very comfotable so it's easy to go back to sleep (but don't forget you mosquito lotion in the summer). I would definitely go back here if I had to visit Budapest again with some friends !

This is a really good value for money. I've paid less than 10e for a night. The hostel is like a maze of corridors not very welcoming but the room was nice (8 beds), and secure (there was serutity code on the door-handle to enter the room) the showers were clean... So it's a good place to sleep. I would come back here for another Berlin trip. And there is a really cool park near the hostel (Mauer Park).

Yes, but don't we need more primary care docs and fewer specialists? On the other hand, it's to everyone's advantage for the country to be educated. To me, all higher education, including medical school and some specialty training, should be available to those who qualify, paid for by the taxpayers..
Primary care reimbursements are LOWER than specialty care reimbursements. So there is no real incentive for loan-saddled physicians to go into primary care. As for taxpayers footing the bills for college education, we currently are footing the bills via government student loans. And what have we gotten in return? Clerks at Macy's who have bachelors or masters degrees in 16th Century French literature. Waiters and waitresses with bachelor's and masters degrees in Sociology. So, we have a workforce that is too highly qualified for the work they do (you don't need a college degree to bus a table, nor do you need a masters degree to work the check out line at Costco!)..

Residents actually need to service the debt during their residency, so if they owe a hundred, or even two hundred thousand, since tuition often runs about 40 K per year, and there are living expenses as well, then 200 thousand is not unusual for debt load. The resident and fellow has to pay the debt service, probably 8 or 10 percent, or perhaps up to 20 thousand per year just paying the interest on their school debt. With residency paying about 40 to 50 thousand per year, that doesn't leave a lot of live on, so doctors need to get into some kind position where they can meet their bills and live a reasonably..

Component for generating tables using Zend Framework (v 1.8) -Table span over mutliple pages (repeating table header) -Text/Image positioning in cells
Other Useful Business Software
User Ratings
User Reviews
Simple. Useful. Light.
Thanks for this contribution. I am spoiled using IText under Java for PDF generation and this component makes the ZEND PDF a lot closer to what I am used to.
Without any documentation, it's not easy to debug. The code example is interesting, but if you need to do some complex document and have trouble qith any point, you need to have some luck to solve it. For example, try to create a document with a header, in this eader, create a table with one row and two cells, then try tu put a logo in the left cell. Enjoy ! :( So no, i don't like this project, the idea was very good, but the code is not clean. IT will be probably easyest for me to write another entire package to do that.
Great component that indeed is a life-saver. Needed to hack it to get it going with 1.11.1 but i also would be very happy to contribute to this project.
