Penguins 3D
1:30 p.m.
800 W. Wells Street, Milwaukee, WI, 53233
March of the Penguins was all find and well, but this IMAX feature goes one step further than that documentary, capturing the voyage of a young king penguin as he attempts to find a mate in striking 3D. It's not an easy quest: Along the way he faces brutal Antarctic weather and hungry seals who want to eat him and his family. Throughout it all, the young penguin never stops being adorable.

There has been a lot of talk about Stephen Baldwin's daughter Hailey Baldwin dating Justin Bieber. Now for the first time, Stephen is speaking out and he says that his daughter Hailey and Justin are just friends. Stephen doesn't seem to think that they are serious and dating regardless of what people are reading online. People shared what Stephen Baldwin had to say when TMZ cameras caught up with him and he says that there is no label at all on this new relationship.
One thing that Stephen Baldwin was asked is if he approves of Justin Bieber. You could tell that Stephen was just ready to get out of the airport and on his way, but he did talk to them for a bit. Stephen does "absolutely" approve of Justin, which is good for him. When you have the approval of dad, which is always a great thing in a relationship. Stephen had nothing bad at all to say about Justin.
Stephen Baldwin went on to say that they are just friends, but then he talked about how great of a person he thinks that Bieber is and it is obvious that he approves of Hailey dating him if that was what they decide to do. Stephen called him a "wonderful young man" and said he is "talented." Stephen Baldwin says they are far away from things getting serious enough for him to need to ask Baldwin for his daughter's hand. He seemed to think that idea was actually pretty funny.

Now the thing is Stephen Baldwin does say that these two are just friends, but he might not be paying attention to everything in the headlines. Back in early January, Justin and Hailey went on a tropical vacation together. Of course, Stephen was nowhere to be seen during this trip. People shared that they enjoyed a trip over New Year's. Hailey and Justin have been friends for a while, which does make what her dad Stephen Baldwin had to say more believable. Now that Selena Gomez is out of the picture, there is nobody to get jealous about these friends hanging out with each other.
Back in February, Hailey Baldwin spoke out about what was going on with them. At the time, she said the same thing her dad Stephen said about them being just friends.
"We're just friends. I've known him for a long time, since I was about 13. He's just going through a time in his life where he's transitioning in a really positive way and he needs good people around him. And I'm trying to be a good friend and be there for him and support him."
A lot of fans think that Stephen Baldwin's daughter is actually dating Justin Bieber and that they are more than just friends. Regardless, Hailey and Justin are having fun together and are really close. This all comes after rumors have been flying that Justin was hooking up with Kourtney Kardashian, but it looks like that could be over with now.

Stephen Baldwin could not be updated on his daughter's relationship status or he could just be wanting to stay quiet about what is going on. Nobody is every happy when their dad is the one that tells the world who they are dating. He is smart to stay quiet about Hailey Baldin's relationship status and just let his daughter reveal the truth when she is ready to do it on her own.
Do you think that Stephen Baldwin is telling the truth and that Hailey and Justin are just friends? Do you think they make a great couple and could be more? Sound off in the comments below on your thoughts.

Did you know?
Prince Albert Tourism won Best Food Stall at the 2013 Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (Little Karoo National Arts Festival).
The Prince Albert Saturday Market is a popular attraction in this quaint Karoo village, with its heritage buildings and vibrant food culture. Prince Albert, which lies about an hour's drive north of Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of South Africa, also hosts an olive festival each April.
The roots of the Prince Albert Saturday Market date back to October 1855, when the then-governor – Sir George Grey – gave the town permission to hold a weekly market. This tradition was observed for many years, but eventually faded away. However, in December 1997, the Prince Albert Tourism Association resurrected the market.
Here, organic and seasonal fruit and vegetables are a hit as shoppers can buy directly from the producer – you really don't get fresher than at this market.
Start your visit with a traditional breakfast pancake and some strong coffee or tea; look out for the artisanal olive bread and brioche stand; visit the table with the date and apple tarts and local cookies; or take away some dried fruit and goats' cheese for later.
For souvenirs there are craft stalls, while you can make a difference and support the White Elephant stall manned by the Thursday Club ladies, who gather donations and sell these to support local charities and a soup kitchen.
Enjoy lunch at the jaffle (an old-fashioned round, grilled sandwich) stall with its organic venison, curry mince, lamb and chicken fillings; or cheese, onion and tomato for the vegetarians. There are also mini-lemon meringue pies and individual milk tarts.
You can also drop in at the museum next door and sample some witblits – South African 'moonshine' made from grapes.
And once you're done at the market, why not spend some time exploring the back roads and scenic areas in and around this beautiful hamlet.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Prince Albert Tourism
Tel: +27 (0)23 541 1366
Email: email@example.com
How to get here
If you're self-driving, from Cape Town take the scenic Route 62 to Oudtshoorn and then follow the signs to Prince Albert. From any other major centre, it's best to fly to George Airport, hire a car there and then drive to Prince Albert.
Best time to visit
The market itself is open on Saturdays from 8am to 2pm. Also visit in April if you want to attend the town's famous olive festival; or in October for the village agricultural show. Prince Albert also plays host to a great Christmas market in December.
Around the area
There's tons to see and do in Prince Albert. Top picks include a ghost walk; various historical walks; a stargazing tour; and talks by local tour guide Ailsa Tudhope, about the village, local stories and legends, and the Anglo Boer War.
Get around
Because of the vast distances between Karoo towns, it's best to hire your own car and do the drive yourself. Besides that, the area is beautiful and makes for a wonderful road trip. Stock up at the market on padkos (food for the road) for the way home!
What will it cost
Entrance to the market is free, and there are plenty of goodies to choose from, no matter what your budget.
Where to stay
Try the four-star De Bergkant Lodge for a luxury stay; Miller's House; or the Artist's Cottage.

Pine Tree's Abby Mitchell Signs with Panola College
A season-ending knee injury early in her senior campaign will not stop Abby Mitchell from signing to play college basketball.
Pine Tree's point guard signed with Panola College in Carthage during a Wednesday afternoon ceremony at PT's Pirate Center.
"When I tore my ACL this year I felt as though years and years of preparation for my senior year had vanished in a single moment and there was not a thing I could do to convince any college that I was best for their program," Mitchell told ETSN.fm. "I was blessed to have met (Panola) coach (Tracey) Stellato my senior year before I tore my ACL and I knew even before my injury that Panola was pulling at my heart and that is what God had planned for me all along."
Mitchell was a first-team all-district selection as a junior, when she averaged 10 points, five assists, and four steals per game. She spent all four years of high school career on Pine Tree's varsity squad, helping the Lady Pirates to a 24-8 record and the Class 4A Region II second round in 2012.
Pine Tree coach Robin Herber believes Mitchell's savvy point guard play will translate well to the Region XIV Conference, which has a reputation as one of the nation's toughest junior college basketball leagues.
"Abby understands the game and understands how it works. That is why she is so successful at getting the ball to the open girl or knowing where the ball will be so that she can steal or defend," Herber said. "Besides Abby's great passing ability, she also has an incredible work ethic as well as great leadership abilities."
Playing in college has been a longtime dream for Mitchell.
"I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family that taught me that I could do anything I set my mind to and that hard work pays off, so that is exactly what I expected my entire life," Mitchell said. "I was introduced to basketball when I was 8 years old and have stuck with it ever since, but it wasn't until my junior year I fully believed in my potential to advance to the next level. Coach Herber always pushed me to be my best throughout high school and I am extremely grateful for the time and effort she has put into my game as an individual. To know I will play basketball at the next level means more to me than I could ever describe and I will be sure to play with all of the passion and intensity that I could not play with my senior year of high school."
Herber and sophomore post Sky Holmes led Pine Tree to the playoffs in 2013 despite Mitchell's injury-caused absence. Pine Tree's coach looks forward to seeing Mitchell return to the court, even if it's for a different team.
"I am extremely proud of her. We have all known she would play at the next level since she was a seventh grader," Herber said. "I will miss her terribly but I cannot wait to see her in a Panola Fillies uniform next year, either."

The 'Heartless' hitmaker raps about picturing the estranged wife of Kris Humphries in a white dress, igniting rumor that he wants to take their relationship to the next level.
Lyrics from a new song that features Kanye West have been revealed, and reports suggest he raps about his rumored girlfriend Kim Kardashian. The rhymer sparks marriage rumor by spitting verses which include line, "I could picture you in a white dress."
According to Us Weekly, Kanye raps, "Now she back in the club in a tight dress with dreams of someday wearing a white dress." In the chorus, he rhymes, "Even though I met you in the club in a tight dress/At first sight I could picture you in a white dress."
"He's just trying to make dope songs," a source says when asked about the message behind the song. "As has always been the case with Kanye's music, people will interpret the lyrics to apply to his life or their own. That's the beauty of it." Another source adds, "Kanye's been a good sport about all the gossip."
The song reportedly was recorded by Pusha T. Words are, the track will serve as a soundtrack to an upcoming film directed by RZA.

Reese Witherspoon And Jim Toth Get Hitched
Reese Witherspoon and agent Jim Toth must not have liked calling each other "fiance" very much. Three short months after announcing their engagement, the two got married on Saturday night at Reese's ranch in Ojai, California. About 120 guess came out to see the couple exchange their vows, including Renee Zellweger, Tobey Maguire, Salma Hayek, Robert Downey Jr., and Sean Penn, who brought Scarlett Johansson as his date. Reese's ex-husband Ryan Phillippe was also there, watching their two children, Ava and Deacon. As often happens, our invitation must've gotten lost in the mail. A shame, since we would've cut a rug on the dance floor. [People, PopSugar]

While in Nashville in July for our annual Team Beachbody Coach Summit, exercise device Autumn Calabrese (originator of the 21 Day Fix & 21 Day Fix Extreme) found a brand new Beachbody home workout called Country Heat. Appears fitting for Nashville correct? Put on the brakes though because that is NOT, I repeat not, a line dancing workout. Superb enjoyable dancing? Yes, but not a kick back your feet line dancing application. I just finished up my initial round and I'm prepared to share my Country Heat Results & Review.
My Country Heat Review
August 1st I pressed play on my very first Country Heat workout and wasn't quite certain what to anticipate. I love country music and I adore dancing, and so I presumed this was going to be my new favourite workout (not certain how it'd compare to PiYo but it'd be up there). However, I wasn't certain if it would be enough to keep me going and keep me excited day to day.
Country Heat Beachbody is a beginner to intermediate software. Autumn Calabrese joins country music and simple to follow choreography set to 8 counts to create a cardio that's interesting with some concealed abs & legs work to finish an awesome program. The work outs are about 30 minutes a day and 6 days a week (some days contain yet another dance conditioning workout for an added 23 minutes). The program comprises 5 cardio dance work outs, 1 dance conditioning (plus bonus workout when bought from a trainer like myself), and a 30-day workout schedule to keep the guesswork out of your strategy. Along with this, Autumn has contained her easy to follow and easy to learn portion control nutrients guide with colour coded containers.
Truthfully, it's been a month or two since I was actually focused on finishing a plan and following a nutrition guide (hey, summer is tempting in more ways than one!) so I was excited to take on something new. What I didn't anticipate was the outrageous number of perspiration that I 'd in only day 1 with this workout (when you're dancing your face away in a pub I think you don't see how sweaty you actually get correct?! #Wink). After day 1, I was solicited. It had not been hard to follow along to the work outs, I didn't need to be concerned about remembering "what comes next" or feel like I was putting on a show and striving to understand choreography, and I had a blast daily.
Overall, I'm in LOVE with Country Heat and if I ever believed I'd say I finished and adore a whole cardio plan I'd have laughed at myself. You should be aware of that I LOATHE all cardio, this really is the exception to my insanity.
My Country Heat Results
I'd actually done a number on my body this summer with lots of beer and an excessive amount of pizza. Dialing my nourishment back was a fairly significant key for this procedure. Was I perfect? Nope. I didn't monitor containers every single day, I let myself pizza, and I still drank an excessive amount of beer but it was less than before.

AN irate taxi driver who deliberately "rammed" a woman's car with his minibus during a road-rage incident has had his jail sentence halved by top judges.
K Car driver Robert Allan Atkinson, 38, was suffering from stress following the breakdown of his marriage when he "rammed into" the front of Lee Bell's car outside the main post office in Kendal and hit her with a volley of abuse.
Atkinson, who was enraged because Mrs Bell's parked vehicle was making it difficult for him to perform a three point turn, caused £400 worth of damage and left her "shaken and upset" when he deliberately reversed into her car on July 23 last year.
The cabbie, formerly of Empson Road, Kendal, and now of Lynn Road, Littleport, Cambs, was jailed for a year and banned from the road for 18 months in February, after pleading guilty to dangerous driving at Carlisle Crown Court.
- Vicky's Six Brilliant things To Do This Week ...
- Three new homes planned for Carnforth
- Rosemere cancer charity's Sue sets out on epic walk
- Kendal man arrested on suspicion of tyre slashing and shoplifting
Lady Justice Macur, Mr Justice Blake and Mr Justice Stuart-Smith, sitting at London's Criminal Appeal Court, cut his jail tem to six months and his driving ban to 12 months.
The court heard that Mrs Bell had dropped off her daughter at the Westmorland Shopping Centre in Kendal and was waiting for her in her car when Atkinson told her to move so he could turn his bus round.
When she was unable to do so because she was blocked in by the minibus and pedestrians, Atkinson lost his temper, purposely crashing into her car and abusing her before driving off after she said she was fetching the police.
He denied any wrong-doing when arrested but later admitted his crime when shown CCTV footage of the incident.
A previous hearing at Carlisle Crown Court heard that Atkinson had told police that he had been 'a little bit aggressive' and was 'agitated' because he wanted to get the mini-bus out of the car park so that he could do his job.
Lady Justice Macur today deplored the "road rage incident", saying that it deserved to have been met with an immediate custodial sentence.
However she halved the jail term after finding it was too long, given the nature of the incident.
She also reduced his driving ban in light of the effect it would have on his ability to earn a living as a taxi driver upon release from jail.

George Hill has been cleared to play and will start for the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 against the New York Knicks on Saturday night.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said he doesn't expect Hill, who suffered a concussion on Tuesday night and missed Thursday's Game 5, to be limited.
The team released the following statement about 90 minutes prior to the tip:
Over the last two days under the care of the Indiana Pacers' medical staff, George Hill has participated in each step of the NBA's Return-to-Participation Exertion Protocol as part of the NBA's Concussion Policy.
During the process, George remained symptom-free after each step including his workouts earlier today. After consultation with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the NBA's Director of Concussion Management, the Pacers' team physicians have cleared George to play in tonight's game.

Two filmmakers plan to produce a 90 minute documentary movie that focuses on the U.K. game industry from 1979 to 1996 if they can raise $35,000 in funding.
Bedroom to Billions is being put together by Anthony and Nicola Caulfield who need to raise another $31,000 if they're to reach their goal and get the movie into production.
The duo has already pitched the idea to filmmakers but have had no interest. "What suprised us, though, was the complete lack of interest for such an important story in the history of British Invention and Industry - surely it is something that must be documented," Antony Caulfield told Eurogamer.
Caldfield concludes the interview with a plea to gamers –
"Please, all you gamers, help us to tell this wonderful story!
"The UK TV establishment feel that gaming is niche and that this is not an important enough subject. The story of the UK Video Games Industry is one of eccentric enthusiasm, crazy antics, almost a 'Wild West New Frontier that made itself up as it went along that contributed many games and franchises that many take for granted today.
The UK games story is very different from the rest of the world. Therefore we want to finally document this in one hell of a film that will stand the test of time and be remembered! Even if you just drop a tenner in the hat or pre-order a copy of the film it would be incredibly appreciated."
"We need you to make this happen!," he stressed.
For more information on the film, which has already completed pre-production and is ready to hit production phase, check out Indiegogo, where you can also contribute and view a video about the project.

>Off the Beaten Path>Scaring people while running
Yeah, I doubt the flimsy wire would have done much! But at least there was some pretense of a barrier--out here many of our regional parks share land with cattle, so the cows can be out there right on the trail with you. Usually if I see a bunch of them I'll turn off and take a different trail to avoid confrontations between them and the dogs, but the time they tried to chase us there really wasn't any other way back to the car so we had to go right past them.
Ultra Cowboy
Yeah, Momma Cows with babies can get real protective, especially when Coyotes are an issue. I used to have a stock dog who could bring the cows to the corral just baiting the cows right in front of them. I always got real nervous when a young dog would bark and then run to me for safety.
What Would Jack London Do?
I never have to worry about this, because honestly, I never pass anyone. I am so slow, I am the one getting passed. Or I am on a treadmill.
Early last summer I was running down an empty country road with my headphones on. I was at about mile 15 of an 18 miler which was to be my longest run to date at that point. It was also a very hilly course. It was recommended to me by a lady who runs ultras on a regular basis as a good place to do hills. (She is running Western States this year so she knows her hills.)
So by that point I was sucking wind and zoning into my music just to get myself home. I also had a wedding to go to that day so I was very focused on getting home so that I wouldn't be late for it.
All of a sudden this hand grabs my shoulder. Well I must have jumped a mile straight up in the air. I seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack.
The lady running past me starts apologizing profusely saying that she didn't want to scare me by just passing me on the inside so she thought it was best to alert me somehow.
Needless to say grabbing my shoulder was not the answer.
Took me several minutes to recover from that one.

Wow, that sounds...interesting! I have been out running with loose cows around, but they're not supposed to be that way.
"God guides us on our journey, but careful with those feet." - David Lee Roth, of all people
god hates us all
Many of my runs are in pre-dawn darkness. Once I saw a couple getting out of cab about 100 yds ahead. They were loud and laughing, obviously coming home from a late night of partying. I was sure they must have seen me - there was no other traffic and no one else around. They walked down a side street which is exactly where I was going. I turned maybe 5 seconds after they did and came up behind them. The guy saw me and struck a defensive pose and yelled "ahhhwhatsgoingonhere!!!" and the girl jumped behind him and screamed like she was in a horror movie - all of which scared ME half to death. They figured it out in a moment of course. I might have mumbled "sorry" or something. I heard their nervous laughter behind me. I'm surprised someone living nearby didn't call the police.
The funny part is that months later I'm coming down the same street, same time of day and see the same couple getting out of car at the same exact place. I coughed, scuffled and whatever I could do to make some noise. They went down the same street, I turned and they were surprised once again! The reaction wasn't quite as bad the second time but enough to get everyone's heart pumping.
If I see them again I'll just turn down a different street.
I never had a dog problem, but one day @ 5 AM, I was shocked to have a very large Staffie/Rotti cross (>100 lbs.) start running along beside me. I was very surprised, but managed to say something friendly, and the dog just trotted alongside me for several blocks, then turned off.
Oh, and I used to have to walk to school from a farm in Grades 1 & 2, and the neighbours' large pigs would chase us along the fence. I was terrified of them!
"I'm going off the rails on a crazy train"

Unfortunately, I have a +1 to add to that!
The cows part I can laugh at and relate to. The bull part...........I would've had dirty knickers by the time I got home. A few summers ago there was a herd that didn't get startled (they saw me coming for a couple miles), but would run with me everytime I went past them. I was more afraid of the farmer coming after to me for skinnying up his meat cows
I ask myself that every time it happens, too. Usually they see me coming from a ways away (depending on the foliage, whether the road has turned, etc.) and are pretty mellow about it once I get to them. But every once in awhile, for whatever reason, even if they appear to see me coming, one or two will get startled when I get within 20-30 feet, and then the whole herd gets scared and starts running away.
One time, the bull didn't like this at all, and charged toward me. Yes, there was a flimsy barbed-wire fence between us. No, it didn't look like it would stop a two-ton bull if he decided to press the issue.

Intentionally Blank
As someone who spooks easily when folks come up behind me, I can say that I generally appreciate humming or whistling, or a spoken word of warning. Somehow your acknowledging me makes me feel safer. When I feel someone come up behind me without making their presence knows, the hair on the back of my neck rises. I would rather be startled by a voice than by a body coming up behind me.
Someone scared me yesterday morning! I was running in the dark during the snowstorm and it was very peaceful and quiet because of the school delay. A dog walker that I see everyday was still in her driveway and I didn't notice her. She said hello and I really rattled me! It actually took a few minutes for my heart rate to slow down.
call out
Every once in awhile, that happens to me too, and I love it. Such a nice change from the dog encounters I usually have.
In fact, just tonight I had a reunion with "Blackie" (my name for her), a border collie that will run with me for as long as I'll let her. Haven't seen her on that route in awhile, but tonight, there she was! Last time we went out, she ran a seven-mile loop twice around with me. We got back to the band hall, I gave her some water, and since I knew she had to be worn out, I gave her a ride back to the house she joined me in front of. After all that, crazy dog raced me driving back to the school. And won.
Driving tonight, saw a runner at 6:45pm. Or rather, I saw reflective tape coming at me. Its too dark at 6:45pm to be running on a busy road.
RUN SAFE. Barefoot 1st: 6/9/13. PR: 5k=22:50 10k=47:46 HM 1:51. FM 4:28 Oct 2015 joined RUN 169!
If you look like me you scare everybody every time you run.
One Winter on the only unlit section of one of my regular runs I just saw someone heading towards me and luckily we both moved to our left and brushed shoulders as the path is narrow had we hit head on I think we would both have been out for the count.
Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.

is it possible to flash/update the BIOS remotely using AMT?
If not, can AMT somehow be used to prevent BIOS updates by the user?
We are planning to use AMT to remote-control several machines in a lab, and so far AMT works really well for what we want to do. While I've successfully accessed the BIOS via AMT, I didn't find a way so far to prevent BIOS updates (or to flash the BIOS remotely myself in order to undo any changes to the BIOS itself).
Thanks in advance,

Close to what I expected: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by mcvickerfan
Overall Member Rating
Close to what I expected
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
I will start by saying I have high expectations. I work in sales/service/finance and I provide top notch service to my clients, which is exactly what I want/expect.
We drove down the day before and stayed at the Comfort Suites off of Seawall. Wonderful hotel and a great price. Breakfast was a little lacking but considering we got 6 people in a suite for $150 (including the price of the shuttle for roundtrip to port), I had zero complaints. Plus it was on the ocean and looked new. I like newer nicer places. Great deal.
We got to the port around 11:30am. By the time we got through the boarding process it More was time to get on. Whole thing probably took an hour, which wasn't too bad considering there were over 3300 people on board. Once we got on board we went straight to the Lido deck to eat lunch. We were told the room would be available in an hour and ten minutes. When we arrived at our room (1st deck, aft) our luggage was waiting by the door and the room was ready. Nice room (Oceanview) and even though I would have loved more bathroom-room I felt very comfy. Tons of space to put all your clothes, etc.
After the safety drill we started exploring. We took our two kids and my wife and I each brought our mothers along. I'll hit the highlights from here on:
Lido Deck Buffet - This was "Ok". One night I got steak and baked potato and some honey-baked ham. That was the good. Other times there were only one or two things I might like. That was the problem. I felt like there was too limited of a selection. Maybe I was just thinking Vegas-style buffet. The real treat on this deck was the burger/hot dog grill area, the pizza joint, the fish and chips (technically one floor up but easily accessible with stairs), and all the ice cream. That food was pretty good.
Monet/Renoir - All the "fancy" dining was in one of these two. We had "Anytime" dining which I liked mostly so we were in the Renoir. Food was better but I wish the menu were bigger. Service was lacking, unfortunately. It's not that people weren't nice but I'd have to practically beg for them to give me a tea refill or they would take 15 minutes to get a coke from the bar. They sat somebody with us one night without so much as asking. Might not of been as awkward if there were more than 1 but I felt kinda bad for the guy and honestly I wished they had at least asked. Anyway, the food was an upgrade, especially the molten chocolate cake and I had to have that every time I visited that restaurant.
Entertainment - We played bingo, did Karaoke (terrible sound system), gambled (more than doubled my money), and saw comedians and an illusionist. Most of it was pretty good. I saw 4 comedians. One was amazingly good, two pretty good, and one not really good at all. It was nice that they offered some quality family comedy as well as the adult ones later and that they change the material for every show. We also watched some movies on the Seaside theater under some blankets. Gets chilly out there! Movies were pretty decent (Karate Kid, Toy Story 3, Iron Man 2). I do have to complain about the one and only one basketball goal! How do you have one goal for a ship this big?? Insane!
"The Point" steakhouse. This was actually one of my bigger disappointments. Remember, I have HIGH expectations. Service was average at best. My son ordered a virgin pina colada and they never brought it. 15 min he asked again and some other guy came by to say they can't do frozen drinks. Why not?? And why doesn't the wait staff know that?? My steak was over cooked (Well-done as opposed to Medium-Well). The head chef did come out and apologize and admitted that it was well-done. Most of the food was really good but the cheesecake was average. My son actually liked the room service cheesecake better! I love a high-end steakhouse and have eaten at most of the ones around Dallas. To me, this was a step below the really good ones. Maybe two steps below. My wife said the lobster bisque was average but the shrimp was amazing! My son really loved his steak as well.
I was not impressed at all with the room steward. We had an older gentleman. We heard from him around dinner time the first night. He knocked on our door and gave us some tickets for excursions we got. Then he said he was our guy. He never offered to open the fridge and he never got to know our names like many others have said on this site. It is important to note that the other room with out mothers and kids had a great room steward. He took good care of them.
I'll write about the ports in the port reviews, I guess.
We also had a major delay getting off the ship that really sucked. Couldn't be helped. Certainly wasn't Carnival's fault but Galveston port was closed due to terrible fog. The port finally opened and it was a mad house. Other people were there to get on the cruise and it became a mess. We didn't end heading home until like 4:30pm. Got home at around 11:45pm. Very frustrating! My wife and I both had to work the next day.
Overall there were more positive things than negative. Definitely a good value for the money spent but not quite as great as I hoped for. We did meet with the small group of Cruise Critic folks from here on the first sea day and that was fun. Less

EMI Group has announced a plan to sell its music through online retailers without copy-protection technologies, a significant move that should give consumers greater freedom in the way they can listen to music purchased online.
Apple's iTunes Store will be the first to offer the new-format downloads, which it said will be of a higher sound quality—but also carry a higher price—than existing offerings.
EMI Group Chairman Eric Nicoli was joined by Apple CEO Steve Jobs to make the announcement Monday at EMI's headquarters in London. EMI becomes the first of the big music labels to announce such a move, which could create pressure on other labels to follow suit.
EMI said it will release all its digital music repertoire for sale without digital rights management (DRM) technologies. Its artists include Gorillaz, Robbie Williams and The Rolling Stones.
Apple will sell individual tracks from EMI artists at twice the sound quality of existing downloads, with DRM removed, at a price of US$1.29, 1.29 euros or 0.99 pounds. The iTunes store will continue to sell tracks with DRM at the existing sound quality for $0.99, 0.99 euros or 0.79 pounds. Apple will sell both types of track in the open AAC format. It will sell full albums in the higher sound-quality format, and will offer customers the chance to upgrade existing tracks to the new format for $0.30, 0.30 euros or 0.20 pounds per track.
Opposition has been mounting steadily to the industry's use of DRM, which prevents consumers from copying music illegally, but also creates what many see as unfair restrictions on the way consumers can listen to songs they have legally purchased.
Most notably, Apple's proprietary DRM system prevents people who buy songs from its market-leading iTunes store from playing them easily on any music player other than Apple iPods. That restriction has attracted criticism, particularly from regulators in Europe who say it unfairly limits customer choice.
In February, Jobs called for an end to the use of DRM on music files in a letter posted on Apple's website. Jobs' open letter argued that consumers would benefit because any player would be able to play music from any online retailer.
Reaction to Jobs' call from the major music labels was mixed. Warner Music CEO Edgar Bronfman said the idea of DRM-free music is "without logic or merit."
EMI appeared more receptive to Jobs' call, however. The company had already experimented with offering DRM-free music a couple of months earlier when it offered MP3 files by Norah Jones and Relient K through Yahoo's music store.
A switch to DRM-free music will be good news for consumers, said Bryan Wang, an analyst with InStat in Singapore. Speaking on Monday ahead of the announcement, he said that consumers don't necessarily understand DRM and just want to be able to play purchased music on all their devices.
Removing the DRM won't necessarily mean a big jump in piracy, he said. The illegal sharing of music tends to drop off as consumers enter adulthood and begin working, so sharing content among people over about 20 is not that common. "We don't expect the illegal transfer of music will be that common," he said.
Other EMI artists include The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Janet Jackson, Depeche Mode, Iron Maiden, Al Green, Moby and Queen.
Some had speculated that EMI planned to announce that the Beatles' music would be available on iTunes. The Beatles have not yet released their music online, however.

Dauphin, Manitoba, R0L, Canada
1921/01/01 to 1921/12/31
The Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, erected in 1921, is a wood-frame building in the Kosiw district near Dauphin. The municipal designation applies to the church and its grounds.
The Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, from its sheltered site overlooking farmland near Riding Mountain National Park, is a treasured link to a community whose settlers brought distinct and enduring religious traditions from Eastern Europe. The cruciform wooden structure with its five banyas (onion domes), including a large two-tiered central dome, is a fine interpretation of a type of traditional church architecture found in Western Ukraine. Services continue on a limited basis as direct descendants of the Kosiw-area pioneers care for the attractive church with its well-constructed bell tower and thoughtfully appointed interior.
Source: Rural Municipality of Dauphin By-law No. 2895, November 15, 2005
Key elements that define the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Sts. Peter and Paul site include:
- the pastoral location on a large tree-sheltered plot in the Kosiw area, about two kilometres north of Riding Mountain National Park, with the building in a traditional east-west alignment;
- the separate two-tiered wooden bell tower with an iron Latin cross on its pyramidal roof, one window on each side, a panelled wood door and two bells.
Key exterior elements that define the church's traditional Ukrainian ecclesiastical style include:
- the compact cruciform massing, including gable-roofed sections of equal length and a small shed-roofed rear extension, all of wood-frame construction on a concrete foundation;
- the striking roofline dominated by five metal-clad banyas, including a large two-tiered dome surmounted over the crossing on a square base and four smaller banyas on low octagonal drums;
- the orderly fenestration, including round-arched sash windows with modest tracery and wood surrounds, oculi, also with tracery, in the gable ends, etc.;
- the attractive entrance sequence, including a shallow gabled porch with a round-arched opening, panelled wood doors, and a blind transom with painted letters and symbols, the date of construction, etc.
- the simple details and finishes, such as the painted horizontal wood siding, light contrasting trim, round-arched banya openings, scrolled wood trim under windowsills, etc.
Key elements that define the church's well-appointed and symbolic interior character include:
- the traditional layout, including a combined narthex and nave with transepts, a narrow loft supported by two shaped pillars, a raised sanctuary and an open dome carried on round arches and pendentives, etc.;
- the substantial wooden iconostas richly adorned with iconography; also with gold-painted trim, pillars, faux porticoes, arched doors, etc.;
- the modest materials and brightly coloured finishes, including wood panelling, vertical wainscotting, a sky blue ceiling with a star motif and applied icons, stencilled designs on the walls, borders in gold, round-framed icons in the pendentives, dark-stained wood trim and flooring, coloured window glass, etc.

If I were a song, it would be a mix of Rock and Roll, Techno and Classical music.
I'm a down-to-earth, jeans and t-shirt kinda guy. I don't need many things to keep me happy, just peace of mind and a great companion to share life with. Generally, I'm a fairly quiet person. I like things to be peaceful and relaxing. I enjoy hanging out and partying with friends, though I prefer the company of a few people compared to a crowd.
Intelligent, creative and diverse. Some of the people I aspire to are Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Thomas Edison and Scooby Doo. I thrive on solving puzzles and understanding how everything works, so my interests are very broad. I'm also a big kid at heart. I love to play, whether it's video games, board games, cards, crafting or anything of a creative nature.
I enjoy leisurely outdoor activities. Camping, hiking, cycling, walks, picnics, bbqs, building igloos (sure, why not)..
I like most all movies. I have an affliction for any type of animation, particularly 3D animated movies or great CGI effects. Some of my favorites are Tim Burton's 9, Robots, The Book of Eli, The Usual Suspects.
I always get sucked into TV, but I could take it or leave it. Some shows I like are The Big Bang Theory, Dexter, My Name is Earl, Leverage and The IT Crowd.
I like most music, but I'm not very fond of country, or hip hop with some exceptions. Mainly, I like rock. Some of my favorite sounds are Pink Floyd, White Zombie, NIN, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, you get the idea...
I'm not a fussy eater, but I prefer comfort foods over anything fancy.
What was before the big bang, nothing or more big bangs? What concept is more palpable, a state of non-existence or a state of infinite existence?
If the big bang formed the universe and it is still expanding, then what is the universe IN?
Would the universe implode if Ron Jeremy shaved his back?

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Greetings,Customer Thank you for submitting your question(s) to JustAnswer.com in the category of HEALTH. My name is ***** *****, MD. I am a licensed physician, trained throughout Internship, Residency/Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN in the specialties of Internal Medicine and Critical Care.
When you mention that your physicians won't place you on MG medications, are you speaking of all possible medications or just the Acetylcholine Esterase Inhibitors (AChEi)? Have they considered other modalities of treatment with immune modulation agents like prednisone, azathioprine, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil. Sometimes, other agents such as a monthly pulse cyclophosphamide and tacrolimus may be considered.
Have you been presented with IVIG (intravenous immune globulin) or plasmapheresis as options? What about having a thymectomy? (This thymectomy approach is controversial, not terribly well studied, and can take years to see benefits if at all).
I will get back to you once I know a little more information requested herein. Thank you for asking us here at JustAnswer.com.
Aside from the acetylcholine esterase inhibitors, other immune modulating medications, plasmapheresis, and IVIG (I agree, thymectomy is not an ideal solution), this is about the extent of our treatment repertoire.
I am sure you have already been there online, but the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation, UK website offers a great number of resources and outlets of information:
I hope this information is helpful. I strongly encourage you to have another conversation with your specialist on options available, arming yourself with some of the information amassed and perhaps attempting to get to the bottom of the low blood pressures, which is a whole new issue altogether.
Thank you for visiting JustAnswer.com's Health Information. I hope that all of your concerns have been addressed and that your experience here was positive and helpful. We truly do care a great deal that you are completely satisfied with the information provided, so click ACCEPT only when you are satisfied and comfortable that your question has been adequately addressed.
If you have a new or different question for us, please don't hesitate to come back or submit a new question. It has been a pleasure helping you. Your FEEDBACK is very important to me.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Despite the announcement of a strong consumer spending data for the month of March, indicative of an improving economy, the S&P 500
The Commerce Department said Thursday that consumer spending increased 0.9% in March. This shows the economy is picking up after a cold winter stalled growth in the first quarter. And impressively, the increase in March is the highest since August 2009.
With companies such as Toyota (TM) and Nissan (NSANY) posting improved sales data, there is no arguing that consumers are indeed spending more.
Jobless claims in the U.S. also fell to 6.3% in April, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is the lowest since September 2008. That's a 0.4% point decrease compared with March 2014 and better than the 0.1% point decrease predicted by analysts. All of these bode well for the economy and stocks going forward.
But the concern is with the growth rate. Let's face it, with these improvements being the best in four to five years, there is no arguing economic growth is slow. For a growing economy, these figures should be overtaking other figures from maybe 2013 or, conservatively, 2012, but definitely not 2009 and 2008. It just shows that the growth rate is low.
Moreover, the unemployment data from the eurozone don't indicate a global economy that's improving at a fast rate. For instance, in March its unemployment rate was held high at 11.8%. And this has been the trend over the past few years.
In general, when the economy is growing at such a slow rate, paper assets becomes more volatile, as we're closer to a recession than boom. The point here isn't to say that we'll be in a recession soon. The point here is to emphasize the need for a well-balanced portfolio, which protects your wealth in this period of economic uncertainties.
One of the best ways to diversify your portfolio is by adding some precious metal -- notably gold and silver -- to your portfolio, since they usually move counter to the paper money. A binary options platform reported on April 30 that "Expectations of a reduction in economic stimulus by the Fed, coupled with forecasts of strong employment figures from the world's top economy pushed contracts for the precious metal [gold] down."

Today I'd like to take a shot at summarizing the reasoning behind having cross-domain policy files in Flash Player, and some best practices related to implementing them.
The browser security model normally prevents web content from one domain from accessing data from another domain. This is commonly known as the "same origin policy." Note that this policy does not prevent the displaying of HTML or media assets cross-domain, such as HTML in an IFRAME or other images, etc. This is also true in Flash Player.
So how did cross-domain policy files in Adobe Flash Player come about? The rationale is that sometimes its perfectly ok to permit cross-domain loading of data, such as when the data isn't protected by a session-based login or a firewall, and is intended to be accessible from other websites. Currently, the only way to do this inside JavaScript is by using the <SCRIPT src=…> script importing syntax, which is inherently dangerous.
By providing a cross-domain policy file, a website can specify which parts of it should be accessible, and to content from which other websites. If a cross-domain policy file is located at the root of the website (the default location the Flash Player looks in for cross-domain policy files is "/crossdomain.xml"), then it controls access to the entire site. If it is placed in a sub-directory, it only controls access to that subdirectory and below.So if your website hosts only data intended for public consumption, isn't behind a corporate firewall, and does not protect any data via cookies or other browser-based user authentication mechanisms, then you can deploy a policy file that permits access from "*" (anywhere) in your root folder.If you want to permit content from only certain websites to load data from a given server, then you could specify only those websites in your policy file. For example, if http://www.a.com and http://www2.a.com need to load data from http://data.a.com , then you would create a policy file at http://data.a.com/crossdomain.xml that would include "www.a.com" and "www2.a.com", or alternatively, simply "*.a.com". The server that is providing the data always hosts the policy file that controls access to its data. No other server can do so on its behalf. Here is an example crossdomain.xml:<?xml version="1.0″?><!– http://www.adobe.com/crossdomain.xml –><cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="www.a.com" /><allow-access-from domain="www2.a.com" /></cross-domain-policy>If on the other hand you want to only expose specific parts of your website to the whole world, then you can place a policy file containing "*" in the specific subdirectories that you want to expose to the world. You may also expose certain subdirectories only to content from specific servers, etc. The principle of least privilege implies that you should only expose the parts of your website that you really need to, and only to the minimum number of other websites.The general best practice for deploying policy files is to have separate servers. One, such as http://www.a.com, as a regular web server without any cross-domain policy files, and then another, one such as http://api.a.com, that hosts only data intended for public consumption and does not utilize any browser-based (i.e. cookies) user authentication mechanisms.There are many other permutations of this mechanism, that may or may not be applicable to your particular architecture.For example usage of cross-domain policy files, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001085.htmlFor a detailed description of cross-domain policy file best practices, see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/cross_domain_policy.html

Transfer news: West Brom boss Alan Irvine in hunt for another striker
Last Updated: 28/07/14 3:07pm
West Brom boss Alan Irvine has admitted that he is keen to sign another striker this summer after already breaking the club's transfer record for Brown Ideye.
Ideye, who cost the Baggies a reported £10million from Dynamo Kiev, joins Victor Anichebe, Saido Berahino and youngster Adil Nabil in Irvine's pool of attacking options, but the new manager would like to add more.
Albion have made six new additions to their squad this summer – including Ideye – with Craig Gardner, Joleon Lescott, Chris Baird, Sebastien Pocognoli and Andre Wisdom all completing moves to the Hawthorns.
Costa Rica full-back Cristian Gamboa is also understood to be on the verge of joining and Irvine says that their transfer activity will not stop there, with an additional striker his priority.
"We've got Brown in now so that gives us three recognised strikers at the right level, and it would be lovely to have another one, but of course strikers cost a lot of money," he told the Birmingham Mail.
"We have a budget to work to and rightly so, and it's a case of trying to stretch that as well as we possibly can.
"I would love us to be able to get in another striker because you want to have options of how you can play up front, but having said that I've been absolutely delighted with Victor Anichebe and Saido Berahino, I think they've been terrific since I came in, day in and day out in training.
"Nothing happens in a hurry now - unfortunately deals take a long long time.
"Many things that you work on behind the scenes don't actually come to fruition, so people only really see what you manage to complete.
"That doesn't actually reflect the hard work that's going on back at the club by many people, from the chairman right the way through, there's a lot of hard work being done, but not everything comes off."

Maybe you can explain something to me. I am baffled at how much crap is on TV.
This is not a post about spending quality time with your family, saving the world or inventing the next thing to make millions. This is about my desire to be a couch potato without having my normally hard to offend sensibilities shocked and what is left of my brain sucked out through my eyeballs for each passing second. It can only be explained by TV producers are actually zombies and they are eating our brains by putting these shows on TV. You watch the show, you lose brain cells the longer it is on, they eat your brains. Repeat.
It used to be that there were dedicated channels for crap. MTV had every scripted "reality" show – currently the crap "it" show is Jersey Shore. I have known people from New Jersey and they were NOTHING like these people. In fairness – they also were nothing like Tony Soprano, but at least that show was written as fiction.
Bravo used to be a channel I liked. Somewhere along the way it turned into the "Housewives of " I don't care about the spoiled, cocky bastards on MTV – what makes them think I care about the ones who are spoiled, cocky and have too much money that they don't know what to do with it?
I will admit that I have watched one episode each of both Jersey Shore and Housewives of NYC. Thankfully, I recognized the zombies coming through the TV to eat my brain and stopped watching.
For those of you who have zombie plans (you know who you are) – you need to add one more thing to your list of things to make sure your homes are zombie proof… turn off the TV. You may watch some shows, but you must be extra careful about the zombie producers and don't let them eat your brain through the TV. I will shoot you if you turn – and I don't want to do that. I like you too much. If you need to know if the shows you watch are created by zombie producers, ask yourself these questions:
- Is it presented as "reality" – but there is more drama in one day their lives (self created) than in the entirety of Shakespeare's works.
- Their fame is created simply by being famous, but not actually for any real talent they have.
- You can imagine them fitting in well on an episode of Jerry Springer.
This is not an exhaustive list of questions – but something to get you started. Are there any other questions you would ask of a television show that is clearly created by zombie producers?
