Eurodam - Baltic 2011: Eurodam Cruise Review by belair58
Overall Member Rating
Eurodam - Baltic 2011
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Dover
Food - Better than prior ratings on Cruise Critic led us to expect. In fact, we found the food quality and variety ro be quite good. We did not go to any of the fee-based specialty restaurants because our Dinner tablemates did not give them high reviews, especially in the light of the extra cost.
Transfer from London to Dover - We took the HAL transfer, which was a great mistake. It is a 2 hour ride, and our completely full bus was not air conditioned (It was represented to be so by the HAL representative at the time of booking). It was very warm that day, and the bus was a sweatbox. The cost of $158pp R/T was too high to begin with, but the 2 hour ride in a mobile sauna (you cannot open any windows) made the price absolutely exorbitant. I suggest you make your own transfer arrangements.
Exchange Rates - We were very disappointed that HAL penalized its customers with such aggressive exchange rates. I suggest that you get your local currency from More ATM machine in the ports, use your credit cards whenever possible. The rates are much more reasonable. HAL had a Russian exchange company on board to exchange your money into Roubles. On a day when the published exchange rate was 28.72 Roubles for one American Dollar, this group (with Hal's blessing because they set up on board by the front desk) was paying 23 Roubles per Dollar - a 20% premium, which was much too much. I am sure HAL was getting a cut of this. I was disappointed HAL did not take better care of its customers and require the exchange company to charge a more reasonable rate.
Entertainment - Gary, a balladeer in the Explorations lounge, was excellent. The piano player and string quartet were both very good. The singers and dancers on the Main Stage were bland and not as talented as we have seen on other cruise ships.
The HAL Travel Guide (Ian) was knowledgeable, but boring because he spent so much time trying to be funny.
Casino - Well run, and adequate games for the number of players. Less

I understand that this is a joke, but is that how we joke in 2016? This is honestly so stupid, no offense, and so childish.

The app performs its function as advertised, however, I was disappointed to realize that the iOS port is much better, as it occasionally displays alternate dialects from around the world, making I much more intreguing.

This app helped me out so much! I had no idea if it's Christmas or not, and I had frequent panic attacks. Sometimes even suicidal thoughts made their way into my brain. I couldn't stand not knowing if it's Christmas so I almost attempted to commit suicide but then I have discovered this wonderful app. Life saving and game changing! Thank you!

Excellent app. Works wonderfully. Brilliantly accurate. Ends all the turmoil and confusion I have between distinguishing Christmas from the rest of the year. Now I always know!

Before this app I would wake up in a cold sweat in panic "Is it Christmas?! Have I forgot to get presents?!" I would exclaim. But now thanks to this app I simply look at my homescreen and see if it is or not Christmas, this app has improved my life beyond measure.

Skip to comments.Iran and China vow to boost ties
Posted on 11/13/2007 6:02:34 PM PST by Flavius
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran and China vowed on Tuesday to boost ties that Beijing believes will help preserve regional and international peace, official Iranian media reported. ADVERTISEMENT
The two countries' pledge to cooperate more closely is likely to irritate Western powers seeking tougher sanctions on oil-producing Iran over its disputed atomic ambitions.
Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi held talks with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose country has repeatedly refused to heed U.N. demands to halt nuclear activities which Washington suspects are aimed at making bombs.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Lovely a commie and crazy midget.
I can only conclude that the PRC official agrees with Ahmadimbulb that "Israel must be wiped off the map".
Could Al Qaeda be a chinese financed mercenary force ?
could they be officially adopting Iran into this force to protect third party weapons production and delivery ?
Could this be an axis of evil plan to shift world dominating economic power from the dollar to the yen ?
[/conspiracy theory]
we'll see who wins..Islamofascism or red communism. The two cannot coexist for long. (my money would be on China)
So ten years ago.
Old news.
Revelation 9:13-16
13The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." 15And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.
You won't see who wins if it comes down to just them.
You'll be gone by then.
It is China financing Islam and rendering aid to the Latin Marxists in exchange for slipping the Army of Allah into the U.S.
This is Fourth Generation war, baby. Assymetrical all the way to the next to the last step.
are we still fighting with China over Iraq ?
Do I correctly recall something about sophisticated Chinese made SAM's downing aircraft and the mysterious Abrams tank penetrating RPG from China during the initial attack stage ? ?
Message to the 9th Century knuckledragging mullahs in Tehran...Israel isn't the least bit impressed by,or afraid of,your new best friend.The bottom line is that if you persist in your quest for a nuke there will be ***at least*** one mushroom cloud in the skies over your country before you're able to deploy the first one.
There will be a time when a US President is faced with the horrendous choice of pre-emption...or the risk of national destruction.
I just hope that President is not a dim. We are closer to that than most realize.
Simultaneous nukes in three or more cities would send the USA into a tailspin and China would be top dog.
The USD would be like confederate currency after 1865
In such a scenario there would be no clear target to retaliate against, making MAD redundant
I'm talking about pre-emption at the source...taking out entire nations that fund and supply the crazy nations BEFORE a nuke goes off here.
The "Bush doctrine gone mad" scenario. It's one I believe a US President will be nearly forced to use...maybe the NEXT US President.
We may just have to nuke Iran to prove to the Chinese and Russians we're serious.
Insane? Absolutely.
Yes Mariner we are.
An astute observation.
Our leaders don't seem to realize it, but we're fighting China over the CONUS.
I agree with you.
I don't think the odds are good that we'll have a president with the guts for it.

He isn't the only Republican presidential candidate to express skepticism toward the science of climate change. Former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.) has said "there's no such thing as global warming," and Rep. Michele BachmannMichele BachmannBachmann: Muslim immigrants trying to undermine Western civilization Religious leaders pray over Trump in Oval Office 'Real Housewives' producer 'begging' Conway to join cast MORE (Minn.) said in 2009 that human activity barely affects the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) has caught flack for appearing in a commercial with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) talking about the need to address climate change. But he's also labeled President Obama's energy policies as "anti-American," and talked about the need for more oil-and-gas exploration.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) and former Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman (R) have been two of the few Republicans to openly embrace the science behind climate change.
"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," Romney said earlier this month in New Hampshire. "It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."
"This is an issue that ought to be answered by the scientific community; I'm not a meteorologist. All I know is 90 percent of the scientists say climate change is occurring," Huntsman told Time magazine last month. Like Pawlenty, Huntsman has rejected his past support for a cap-and-trade regime.
"I denounced it for a number of reasons, one of which is the science is bad, and it's in great dispute," Pawlenty explained Tuesday. "There is climate change — there's always been climate change — but until recently, people were worried as much about global cooling."


text: SOLVED!! I have searched on website, our website and every place I can possibly find. So last night I upgraded the firmware on the inspire. It took longer than normal but the logs say success after I heard the 3 beeps. I then plugged the camera into the controller. The controller light tuned bright blue and after about 10 minutes, it turned red. Log says failure. For the life of me I can't get the controller to update. I have pulled the micro SD card out of the camera and put it in a USB thumb drive adapter (which I have verified it's readable by plugging it into my laptop) I have deleted the firmware and redownloaded it. When I turn on the controller, I get a real light blue (almost white but with a blue tine (definitely not like the bright blue LED I got last night) and I get nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mark

Recent research into the Global Electronics Adhesives Market
ACCESS REPORT @ Recent research into the Global Electronics Adhesives Market
The Global Electronics Adhesives Market has been estimated at USD 3.40 billion in 2014 and is projected to reach USD XX.XX billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 9.30% during the forecast period. Adhesives have been replacing the application of soldering in electronics. The development of new kind of adhesives with higher thermal and electrical conducting properties is increasing the applications of adhesives in electronics. Furthermore, the use of adhesives instead of soldering is considered environment-friendly. These are mainly used for fabrication and assembling of the electronic devices. They are also used in potting and formal coatings. Applying adhesives protect electronic & circuit assembly components from corrosion, dust, shock & vibration, environmental and physical damage.
They are being used in fabrications of hard disks, printed-circuit-boards, cellular phones, and computer assembly. Adhesives are used in electronics to reduce their size, make it lighter, and increase the transparency of the products. In the Electronics Adhesives market report, we have taken the following major application segments into consideration: Surface mounting, Conformal coatings, Wire Tacking, Potting and Encapsulation. The surface mounting segment accounted for more than 38.0% share of the Global Electronics Adhesives market in 2015.
This market is driven by a number of factors, such as the increasing demand from the automotive industry, growing technological dominance, and growing demand from developing countries. However, this market faces certain drawbacks, such as volatility in raw material prices, and globalization and growing operating costs. These factors may act as a roadblock to the growth of the market.
The Global Electronics Adhesives market, on the basis of product type can be broadly segmented into electrically conductive adhesives, thermally conductive adhesives, UV curing adhesives, and others. The UV-curing adhesives are expected to experience the fastest growth in the coming years. However, electrically conductive and thermal conductive adhesives are the leaders and act as an alternative to tin-lead solders. According to material type, the market has been segmented into acrylics, epoxies, Polyurethanes (PU), silicones, and others. Acrylic adhesives are expected to witness the fastest growth in the global Electronics adhesives market, owing to their excellent bonding abilities and resistance to sunlight, water, and temperature fluctuations.
The market has also been geographically segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and MEA. In terms of consumption in 2014, APAC led the market with a share of 38.23%. It was followed by Europe and North America. With the improvement in the financial status of the consumers, the purchasing power of the middle class consumers has increased, which in turn is accelerating the demand for electronics in the Asia-Pacific region, in turn making the region an area of immense potential and opportunities. However, the dearth of stringent norms regarding VOC emission from electronic adhesives in the developing country in this region has considerably hindered the growth of this market.
The longstanding trend toward miniaturization of electronics components has resulted in more use of adhesives for fastening. In addition, as the use of electronics grows in the automotive sector, the demand for adhesives in automotive electronics is also growing. Furthermore, the growing demand and penetration of electric vehicles will offer numerous opportunities in the growth of the Global Electronics Adhesives market. Some of the major companies dominating this market for its products, services, and continuous product developments are BASF, Bayer, 3M, Dow Chemical Company, Bostik, Sika, and Avery Dennison. The current trends in mergers and acquisitions indicate that the bigger international companies are acquiring the smaller local ones for higher market penetration by utilizing their high local consumer reach.

When I see articles or advertises that say they get high test score or pass XX university and they show some method of studying.
I think that they are crazy. (my most unbelievable ad of cramming school showing at train enterance-gate says "why I pass XX university".Don't they feel shamed of their crazyness ?)
Maybe many of japanese are tought like this since they are young, so they are natural feeling.
But so what ? Do they want to show that they are mechanically high ability people ?
And thinking such things, I always go to some thinking that is questioned for that " for what I live" and it is most important issue from childhood. And for this question, I always answer for me that it is for curiosity.
And as I write down this, I remember writing same thing, but continue.
I like science, especially math and physics and electronics and reading books, so I read many such books and eager to study such field, so for me score means nothing.
If they like such field and eager to study, they know much and naturally their score is high. For me, I always read advanced books in class because highschool's math class is boaring. And I dislike study for exam so I'm not so good at periodical test at school (not so bad at open exam ).
But for me, it is not important things. I wanted to have much time for study, wanted to study less for exam.
I thinkg that study for enterance some academic environment like school must be limited because they want to study something at such environment and enterancing this school is not purpose.(maybe I am not opposed to many ordinary japanese)
And it is not changed now since then.
I strongly think when I travel around the world when I was at graduated school and I met many people around the world and talking many things, and it formed my basical values of life when I was at early 20's. So I want my son to experience such things.
Maybe there are limited time left for every human, so thinking for what things they spend time is very important issue, especially for me.
I'm near 50 years old so recently I strongly think such things.

Enhance your table with the Super square white porcelain 15cm diameter cereal bowl.
The Super square tableware and crockery collection is made from porcelain. Porcelain, or fine china, is baked at a high temperature to create a strong surface. It is whiter in appearance than earthenware and stoneware due to the use of a mix of different types of clays. It also has a lower moisture content and is used to make tableware that is thinner and more delicate in appearance. Not only is it non-porous and easy to maintain, porcelain is microwave and dishwasher safe and also chip-resistant.
Complement your cereal bowl with other key pieces from the Super square tableware and crockery range to give your table a co-ordinated look.

Effects of the invasive polychaete, Marenzelleria viridis, on the fate of sediment associated pollutants – a microcosm study with 14C-labelled pyrene
- Authors:
- Abstract:
- The deep burrowing, invasive spionid polychaete, Marenzelleria spp. (3 sibling species), is rapidly expanding its range in the Baltic Sea ecosystem, increasing the depth of the bioturbated zone dramatically relative to the native benthic community. One concern is the effect of this invasion on the fate of deeply buried sediment-associated pollutants in the historically polluted Baltic Sea. We report here the results of an experimental microcosm study examining the fate of 14C radiolabelled pyrene (a 4-ring PAH) in sediment microcosms with and without Marenzelleria viridis. We also investigated the impact of depositing labile organic matter (seston) on the sediment surface. Worms clearly enhanced the release of pyrene and degradation metabolites from the sediment to the overlying water in all cases, mostly due to the initial flushing of sediments during burrow establishment. Surprisingly, there was no clear effect of worms on the mineralization of pyrene to CO2, where a complicated interaction between bioturbation and the presence of labile organic matter was observed. Furthermore, the ultimate fate of the increased release of sediment-associated pyrene and its metabolites to the water is unknown.

Not a single day inside the Bigg Boss house is ever left out with controversies, fights, and disputes.

The contestants are finding it difficult to cope up with the task thereby losing patience and landing themselves into the fight, battles, and struggles with each other. On Day 31 Episode 24 of Bigg Boss 10, we all would witness the following incidences inside the Bigg Boss house.
- Gaurav Chopra and Lopa have to drink the full jug of Kerala Juice for their next task in today's episode.
- This task seems quite bitter as that of the Kerala Juice as the two captains Mona and Rahul gets into the verbal fight when Lopa and Gaurav were busy in accompanying the Lockdown task of drinking Kerala Juice.
- Some contestants are not listening to Om Swami Ji and thus Om Swami Ji is not happy with Bigg Boss where he screams facing the camera " Bigg Boss apke Bigg Boss hone ka kya fayda yeh to apse bhi upar ban gaye hai. Ye appki baat ki izzat nahi karte toh apke Bigg Boss hone ka fayda kya hai".
- Gaurav and Bani seem to be discussing about captain Rohan Verma . Gaurav is explaining Bani that " Rohan itne josh se argument kar raha tha who bhi galat point pe".
So this lock down task has started creating nuisance and havoc between the two teams which you will enjoy in today's 16th November episode of Bigg Boss season 10.

Grahm Edward Chase, born June 16, 1864, is a demigod son of Gaia and Alexander Chase. He
Grahm Edward Chase
|Biographical Information
|Olympian Parent: Gaia
|Human Parent: Alexander Chase
|Date of Birth: June 16, 1864
|Physical Description
|Gender: Male
|Age: Immortal (drank from a stream that Hebe enchanted to make you never age or die and looks the same way he did when he was 16)
|Hair Colour: Blonde
|Eye Colour: Any shade of Brown
|Height: 5'10"
can never die or age either. And whether or not he drank from the stream, he can never die when on the ground because the earth heals him (as shown in The Battle of the Labyrinth) and his mother is Gaia.
Personality and Past
Grahm is very calm and rarely gets angry. His father was in the military and always made him work hard for hours non-stop with no food or drinks. He then was very stong and had lots of character.
Sinse his father, Alexander Chase, was in the military he never had time for fun. His father could see through the mist, but wasn't educated in anything but math, war history (including Ares and Athena them being the god and goddess of war) and health meaning he never knew about greek mythology. He is now immortal because he was on an 8 mile hike with no food or water. He then cupped his hands in a stream and drank. He never knew who is mother was until he got to Camp Half-Blood.
Magical Items
Earthquake, a sword from the earth
Grahm has a sword called earthquake. It was made of dirt and had specks of celestial bronze and Gaia cooled it in the River Styx. The hilt was made of stone and then after a week Grahm wrapped it in leather. When not in use, it looks like a trowel.
Hunter the Hunting Falcon
Grahm found Hunter when he was supposed to be 18 and since he knew he was immortal because of the stream, when Hunter was fully grown, Grahm made him drink from the stream. He is also the reason for the name of Grahm's first son, Talon.
Family and Friends
- Alexander Chase- Grahm hates his father. He never let him have any fun or freedom. He made him do chores and 10 mile runs everyday.
- Gaia- Grahm knew who his godly parent when he was mad at because his plant in science kept withering. Then he consentrated on it so much that it grew 10 feet long. He then ran to the boys washroom and looked in the mirror to look and see what was happening and saw a faint globe of the earth and knew from Greek Mythology that demigods finally find out who their godly parent is when they see their Symbol of Power above their head.
- Leonard Chase- His grandfather was in the military but never met Grahm.
- May Chase- She met Grahm when he was 3 but passed on the next week.
- Talon Chase- Talon was named Talon because Hunter- his father's bird- used his talons to kill him. But the talons did not go in far enough to kill. It just left a long scar from the bottom of his left eye to the bottom of his head. Also drank from the stream.
- Hunter the Hunting Falcon- He tried to kill his son but Grahm has had Hunter since he was a baby. Also drank fronm the stream.

The Grant County Braves basketball team knew that their senior night game against Lloyd Memorial would not be easy.
The two teams had played each other earlier in the season during the Lloyd Memorial Invitational, with the Braves earning a 64-51 win.
The Braves knew that the Juggernauts would come into their gym looking for revenge. But Grant County sent Lloyd Memorial home with a 43-37 loss after taking control late in the game.
The Grant County High School track team is hoping for big things this spring as they work hard this winter to improve.
The team traveled to Lexington on Jan. 24 to compete in the Wildcat Classic at the University of Kentucky against 50 other teams.
The Williamstown Demons wanted to do something special on their senior night.
They came away with a 92-42 win over Covington Latin for their final game before the district tournament.
"It was a good senior night game for us," coach Stacey May said. "I let the seniors play all of the first half and a majority of the third quarter. These seniors went out with a win on their home floor."
The Demons took an early lead, dominating an overmatched Covington Latin team. The Demons used a combination of experience and talent to earn the win.
Hard work and dedication to the sport of basketball has paid off for several players who were named to the all-region team.
Williamstown Lady Demons Jaclyn Stith and Tori Wilhoit were named to the girls' team, while Grant County Braves Caleb Kinmon and Kody Thompson were named to the boys' team. Grant County coach Ron Kinmon was named all-region coach.
Stith was named to the team for the second year in a row.
The Williamstown Lady Demons had aspirations of making it to the region tournament this season and all that stood in their way was their first round matchup with Walton-Verona in the district tournament.
With a win, the Lady Demons would have ensured a trip to the region tournament, regardless of the outcome in the district championship.
Unfortunately, they came away from their showdown with Walton-Verona with a 53-35 loss.
After battling Simon Kenton twice this year, the Grant County Lady Braves knew that they would have to play to near perfection to come away with a win against the Lady Pioneers in the district tournament.
They knew they would have to deal with their full-court pressure and prevent the Lady Pioneers from taking a huge early lead.
The Lady Braves fought, but ended up falling 63-35 in the first round to Simon Kenton.
The Grant County Lady Braves celebrated their two seniors' careers with gifts and flowers, recognizing the contributions they have made to the program.
The Lady Braves recognized Candace Gorby and Shayna Lockard, the team's two seniors.
They followed that up with a resounding 43-18 win over Lloyd Memorial on Feb. 14.
The Lady Braves dominated early, holding a 15-3 lead after the first quarter and 28-9 at the half. In their next two games, Lloyd Memorial scored over 40 points, but the Lady Braves defense shut down their offense.
Over the course of a game, players go to the free throw line, making or missing the only shot they'll take in a game without a defender in their face.
Fifteen feet are all that stands between a player and the basket. They have to zone out the crowd's noise or their silence. They can't think about the pressure of the situation or about the consequences of a missed shot. A free throw is the test of a player's resolve and resiliency.
The Grant County Middle School basketball teams had success this year and each hope to build on it in upcoming years.
Eighth Grade Boys
The eighth grade boys' team came into the season with high expectations, setting goals of winning the conference or the conference tournament. They weren't able to make those dreams a reality, but, according to their coach, have a lot of talent to build on.
After a regular season where local teams enjoyed highs and lows, the district tournament will start on Feb. 23 at Williamstown High School.
The Lady Demons and Lady Braves will start the tournament on Feb. 23. The Lady Demons, the district third seed, will take on second seed Walton-Verona at 6 p.m., while the fourth seed Lady Braves will take on first seed Simon Kenton at 7:30 p.m.
Williamstown split the season series with Walton-Verona and Lady Demons coach Mark Wilhoit hopes his team has learned from their regular season matchups.

We like to say in passing, "..well, we will pray for you." We ask that that is the first thing we want you to do for our missionairies. We believe Ephisians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." We believe in order to win that war, we must fight it with the weapons God has given us and prayer is one of the strongest weapons we have. Much like artilliary softens up the position of the enemey before the infantry advances, anything and everything we do spiritually must be lead by prayer.

Golden Swan -- a gem of a challenge
Expand Messages
- Greetings list family,
A friend recently reminded me of a challenge issued by a small shire
in the far reaches of the Known World (British Columbia/An Tir) at
an event called the Tournament of the Golden Swan. The challenge is
for women to present complete, sustainable personas to the public
and to educated judges for a period of 36 hours. It's held in
October and is open to all _qualifying_ female comers (alas, it's
limited to women, but the group says it has its reasons for that and
I respect that). By 'qualifying' I mean those who apply for entry
and are accepted. The standards are quite high, so people really
have to be well-read and thoroughly versed in research techniques.
The preparation is intense, I hear, and the period of time over
which you remain in persona can be grueling. So much so that the
coordinators request that you have a 'support person' on hand to
translate between the logistics of the modern-time event and the
persona that you maintain non-stop. There are 12 categories you must
pass. It's pretty much a pass/fail scenario, though there's a
numbering system used by the judges. When it's all over, they burn
the score cards and will only tell you if you passed or not, and
what your general strengths and weaknesses were. Once you are made a
Golden Swan, or a 'successful Swan', all Swans are considered equal.
This might be old news to some seasoned SCAdians on this list, but I
only recently delved into the idea on this website below and thought
it might be fun to share with folks here who haven't heard about it
Thoughts? I think it would be wonderfully fun to try, say, in 2005.
I think it would take me that long to read enough and
practice/create enough to feel fully qualified to enter. :^) How
about you? I also think it would be wonderful if another group in a
different geographical location would consider taking up the
challenge with the help of the Golden Swans' advice (freely offered,
it appears) and present a co-ed or male-only version so everyone can
share in the challenge.

with doing whatever their thing is that the first person is having

Unfortunately, persona stuff is like authenticity - no matter how much
someone thinks other folks might like it - it's not something you can
force another to do, especially if they are expected to -enjoy- doing it.

Discussion in 'EU Community' started by Jedi-Knight-Corran, Jul 12, 2004.
Try reading the 'Bowdlerised' texts of Shakespeare to find something really dumb!
I don't remember if we got that version in school or not... Ehh that's Victorian England for you (ok ok, technically Georgian England )
When were you at school Adaml83? I was in durance vile 60s and 70s, and we had the proper texts (even were set Chaucer, and if anything would outrage sensitive morals one or two of those Tales would!)!
Oh, so because I am an American, I haven't been reading the original version of Philosopher's Stone? I don't think I would have been that confused by those terms, and I was actually familiar with the term Philosopher's Stone before I had even read Harry Potter, so if they would have kept the original name I wouldn't have been confused.
I read the X-wing Series like this; 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 9, 9, 3, 5 5 55555. I could only get them from the school library, and they got them all over the place. And they didn't get Wraith Squadron for so long! Then I met Dom over Starfighters of Adumar (I was returning it, he was (im)patiently waiting for it). And he just so happened to own that magical 5th book!
I love all the British-isms in the HP books! Besides, I don't see American books being edited, and that messed me up on an end-of-year English test! (Favorite vs Favourite, and my teacher refused to cut me some slack!)
I agree Katana, I was appalled when they changed it for the US Market.....seriously?! It looked almost like they attempted to 'dumb it down' assuming the US readers couldn't decipher English terms. It was insane....and insulting!
Exactly Addie.
It's just like any other basic language translation. Some words just don't mean the same in both "versions" of English or are spelled the same way. Slang/terminology is the same way.
Hey, I didn't see Aaron Allston having things edited for an Aussie audience, but I did a hell of a spit take when he talked about Piggy doing a 'fanny shake'. IT MEANS SOMETHING DIFFERENT HERE, AA!!
Bingo! Here that would be considered a lurid and disgusting act that if done in public would have you arrested for indecent exposure!!! Different part of the body here!
Learn something new everyday
Sent from a Galaxy far away via R2-N6
This is what we are saying, see the rest of the world has to learn American terminology, but the Americans can't learn anyone else's? Like I said, the implication is you are not clever enough, but I know that's garbage......
As an American I feel I should be upset.
Imagine if they'd anglicised a book like The Color Purple. Would ruin the entire narrative tone. It's just weird to have a British kid talking like an American full stop.
Sounds like the title of a really dodgy 70s porn film...
It happens more than you realise to you guys. The Road Warrior.....the rest of the world got it as Mad Max I never understood why they did it, but it was the 'film approval people' or whatever they are there who made the decisions for you guys and you are right, its insulting.
I need to get back to reading these books. I took a hiatus from this series over the break this weekend
wedges plan to take down the shield was genius
Well, he is pretty awesome.
Wedge in Wedge's Gamble is fantastic.
thats probably why hes in the book name
Hey yeah, that might be it. Oyah!
I love the way Wedge and Iella meet.
i have questions but they could cause spoilers for me
Well, it's worth the wait. It is so worth the wait.

Published on Jul 06, 2016 Editor's Pick Haagen-Dazs has partnered with the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament to create the #LoseYourself campaign, which shows tennis fans getting lost in the moment as they experience the emotional highs and lows of the game. Instead of focusing its attention on the players, Grey London has hired photographer Adam Katz Sinding -- best known for his candid portraits of the fashion pack -- to point his lens towards the crowd at the All England Lawn Tennis Club Championships. Katz Sinding is creating a series of portraits which are being pushed out across Häagen-Dazs' social channels during Wimbledon fortnight. The pictures will also appear on digital out-of-home sites in London, and billboards around the country. Grey has also created a series of #LoseYourself digital films, showing on the Wimbledon website, and a Haagen-Dazs-branded Snapchat geofilter, as well as promoting the #LoseYourself hashtag on Twitter. Haagen-Dazs has created a special "Strawberries & Cream" ice cream bar in honor of Wimbledon's most popular and traditional dish. The ice cream is being sold to tennis fans as they stand in line outside the grounds -- another Wimbledon tradition which sees people queue overnight to get tickets to see their favorite players. There is also a #LoseYourself photobooth in the Wimbledon grounds, as well as a partnership with Vogue.co.uk and a "Lose Yourself to Strawberries & Cream" partnership with Selfridges department store. Haagen-Dazs has signed a five year partnership with Wimbledon. Richard Williams, General Mills Northern Europe marketing director said, "Losing yourself to Haagen-Dazs and losing yourself to Wimbledon fit naturally. But while anyone can lose themselves in a tub of Häagen-Dazs, not everyone is lucky enough to make it down to Wimbledon. We wanted to capture those edge-of-your-seat moments to bring that emotion alive and in Adam, we're working with one of the most distinctive portrait photographers of his generation."

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Back when President Bill Clinton tried to overhaul the nation's health care system, he came up against strong opposition from Republicans. Among them, Newt Gingrich. The former speaker of the House is no less vested this time around. Gingrich frequently speaks and writes on health care. He offers paid advice to the industry through his own consulting group, the Center for Health Transformation.
And when he joined us for a conversation, he was happy to offer free advice to President Obama, much as he did in 1993 to then-First Lady Hillary Clinton as she was putting together a comprehensive plane.
Mr. NEWT GINGRICH (Former Speaker of the House): I don't believe it's intellectually possible to take 18 percent of the economy of the largest economy in the world - life and death for every individual - and, in one sweeping bill, change all of it. I think you - first of all, no one knows enough to do this. And second, you arouse so many opponents, you just can't get it done.
I think if they would take - and this is what I suggested to Mrs. Clinton. If they would take five to seven smaller bills, take one on litigation reform to lower the cost of defensive medicine and to save billions of dollars. Take one on fixing Medicare and Medicaid so we're not paying billions to crooks who are not delivering services, and have one on prevention and wellness. Have one on better practices. You could pass five to seven bills, and collectively, they would add up to an enormous amount of change.
MONTAGNE: Although, if you were talking about four or five smaller bills that would be passed over, let's just say, four or five years, and they would have a real and serious effect on delivery of health care in this country, why not put them all together and make one comprehensive bill?
Mr. GINGRICH: Because the minute you start putting together a 1,300-page bill, you have no idea what the different sections are like, how they interact with each other. And, in order to get enough votes, you end up buying people in for bizarre reasons and giving away goodies, and all of a sudden you've created a political monstrosity.
MONTAGNE: There has been, in this past summer, a fair amount of misinformation put out about this health care overhaul, including something quite well known and many think quite egregious, and that's the fabricated claim that proposals would create death panels. Where do you stand on this type of rhetoric?
Mr. GINGRICH: Look, I'm fascinated by the intense hostility in the news media to the suggestion that what Dr. Zeke Emanuel wrote about communal standards…
MONTAGNE: That is, Dr. Zeke Emanuel - President Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's brother.
Mr. GINGRICH: Right, and who is in the White House and who has been an adviser. And people read his writing. I mean, nobody made this up. They read his writing, and his writing suggests, quite clearly, that if we have a communal standard, maybe if you were too old, you shouldn't get certain care. Maybe if you were born with a variety of handicaps, you shouldn't get certain care.
MONTAGNE: Although, he's already spoken out and said that he was laying out possibilities, not suggesting them and, also, it doesn't much matter what he wrote, because none of this is in the bills.
Mr. GINGRICH: Well, but the bill does create commissions which would have enormous, sweeping power. And now you want us to trust that they're only going to appoint doctors and other people to these commissions that don't read any of this material. Now, so those of us who look at what is a government-run system like, we come up with a much different sense of how dangerous it could be than people who happen to like big government.
MONTAGNE: So you think it's fine to use language like death panels?
Mr. GINGRICH: I think it's fine to say to people, be very careful the amount of power you're going to give bureaucrats.
MONTAGNE: So, though back to the - you think Republicans wouldn't be hurt if they were able to bring this down, the way it happened back in 1993?
Mr. GINGRICH: Well, I don't think it's - look, I don't think it's about Republicans. I think the president has an obligation to understand what the American people will support and to be with the American people. And I think that he's going to discover, as Bill Clinton did, that a really good speech gives him about three days.
It literally took about four days for the Clinton joint session address to disappear, because people said no. They looked at it, they said nice speech, really well delivered, articulate guy. And then he said, what do you think about the policy? They said, no. We're against it.
MONTAGNE: Thank you very much for joining us.
Mr. GINGRICH: Thank you. Glad to be with you. Thank you.
MONTAGNE: Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Ninja Slash is an endless running game where you play as a ninja fighting zombies. The game is developed in Unity3D and the art style is cartoon.like. In addition to being on flash sites like Kongregate, it is available for iPhone and iPad. A tendency in most games of the endless runner genre is to have the player running from something or someone, but in Ninja Slash, the unique twist is that you take the fight to the enemy.
You play as your ninja of choice (provided you unlock the others), cutting down waves after waves of zombies. You get combos by slashing a whole lot of them in a row for a higher score. For the most part, no special action is needed to defeat a zombie, as the ninja attacks each enemy automatically as they come. However, some require you to make a move to hit their weak spot. You only need the WASD or arrow keys to control your ninja, as your only moves are moving to a side, jumping or ducking. In addition to enemies, there are obstacles you must avoid running into and gaps must jump across. You may only take damage once before you die, but any collected coins are carried over to subsequent games.
Ninja Slash features a large variety of stages. Each time you restart, you'll be randomly placed in one of a handful of different environments. Besides the large visual difference between the different stages, each has its own unique obstacles and hazards, such as running and jumping along rooftops, slashing your way through a forest, or progressing through the holes torn in the paper walls of a dojo by rampaging giants. The game features scroll power-ups and an upgrade shop. Any coins collected during previous runs can be used to purchase upgrades. There are also missions to complete during a run, which may reward you with coins. Missions are task based, for instance kill a number of a specific zombie type.
Types of ZombiesEdit
There are 6 types of zombies, most of which are killed by running straight at them. Some require a specific move to defeat, in order to hit their weak spot. Mostly this means either pressing up to jump up and slash or pressing down to slide between their feet while attacking.
The weakest, most common one. Simply run into them to cut them down.
The thin ones with a straw hat. Run sideways in front of them to slice them.
The fat ones that simply sit on the ground. Run into them (like zomblings) to cut and bounce off them, making the ninja jump up.
The ones that look like they come out of a pot. Jump up into their faces to decapitate them.
The huge ones. Slide under them to cut them from below.
The hugest red one that occasionally charges at you. Avoid them entirely, unless you have the thunder/purple scroll, which allows you to slash them.
Non-zombie Slash-ablesEdit
You can also slash bamboo trees and signposts by running sideways, like for the sweepers. There are no points for that, but it adds to the combo.
- This game is basically a series of repeating patterns. It helps if you are familiar with these patterns as you would know, for example, if there was a scroll behind that goliath or if there is a fatso at the end of that rooftop.
- If running for a certain score, aim to continue your combo as it gives more points. When it gets very fast, you don't have time to think. Prioritize survival.
- Prices were lowered A LOT after people complained that it was too high. This is probably due to it being an online game where people would play it to completion, rather than a mobile phone game where you would not get bored of it too fast because you would play it in short periods instead.
- Many complained that it is basically a copy of Subway Surfer. It is actually better, because zombies.

So previously i showed you a quick 2 min highlight reel of the first US Presidential debate last night between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but it didn't come with any commentary so i'm throwing this longer video in with chirps from our boy Trevor Noah who gave his take on what was said. Noah pretty much laid into Trump during a 14 min segment on The Daily Show.
Haha…Trump was sniffing a lot.
Good times.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has joined forces with 21 other governors to ask Congress to investigate why oil companies are reaping such huge profits and yet prices remain so high. In fact, gas prices have gone up 33 cents a gallon during the past year.
In Crist's state, gas prices are at $3.10 a gallon, which he said is detrimental to Florida's tourist economy. He said Florida will take a financial hit with Memorial Day coming up, as will many other states.
"Exxon alone made over $9 billion in the first quarter of this year, yet they're charging record prices," Crist, a Republican, told The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm. "It doesn't make sense for the people of our state and our country."
The letter drafted by Crist and the other governors contends that the massive increases are not tied to any geopolitical event. It is his concern that the oil companies are trying to gouge the consumers.
"You see the profits they're making," he said. "You see the prices they're charging. They haven't had the kind of typical problems they've had in the past when they've used those as excuses to raise the price of gas at the pump. You have to reach the conclusion they're gouging people ... We think the United States' Congress can do a great job in a bipartisan way to investigate these oil companies and see why it is they're hurting our consumers so much."
Before Crist became governor, he investigated gas prices in 2005 as Florida's attorney general. As a result, he said he found that there was not a very strong rational as to why gas was so expensive.
"Some of the ridiculous answers we got, Hannah, were that a barge broke down on the Mississippi river and so that slowed down, you know, getting the product to the pump," Crist said. "Or that there were some cold weather out in Washington and Oregon and that slowed down some of their port activity. I mean, some of these excuses just blow your mind. It makes no sense."
The last time gas prices shot up this way, oil companies told the public that they can't control the prices, something Crist said infuriates him. The key, he said, is to diversify the country's energy consumption with things like ethanol.
"It's important to go to other means of fuel so we're not so darn dependent on foreign oil and these gas companies that are taking advantage in my humble opinion, of American consumers," Crist said. "If we go to ethanol, hybrids, help us wean ourselves off this kind of dependence on foreign oil, it makes us a much stronger nation, gives consumers greater choice, gives us that much more freedom."

Well, excuuuse me for being so cheerful but it's been a pretty sweet December so far and it's about to get better: My soldier and I are are going on a mini vacation out West!
West North Carolina, that is. I know what you were thinking! So, zoom back in on your Google map, we're staying local!
All I want is a little bit of snow for Christmas. Luckily, you don't have to travel too far to enjoy some winter magic in our home state of North Carolina.
While I'm packing gaiters, ear muffs and wool socks, I'm sipping on some Cranberry Bourbon Sour and ahhhh – I couldn't ask for more!
Whiskey Sour (or Bourbon Sour) has been my favorite drink for quite some time.
The simple combination of bourbon, lemon juice and syrup, when balanced right, is without question one of the best cocktails I have laid my hands (eyes and lips) on!
We've been infusing maple syrup (which we use instead of simple syrup) with cinnamon which adds a wonderful spicy note to it but I wanted more! More Christmas, more cheer!
Most of us ladies know cranberry juice primarily as a home remedy for much dreaded UTIs. While there are conflicting reports on whether cranberry juice is all that effective in curing or preventing UTIs, more recent studies show that drinking cranberry juice does indeed positively influence the urinary track system (Naturophaths 1 – Big Pharma 0).
Allow me to encapsulate: Cranberry juice = eternal health (not quite but you get the gist).
Cranberry juice is refreshingly tart and a little bit sour. I will drink cranberry juice straight up if I have to but honestly, it's not the most pleasant experience! Mixing cranberry juice with oaky bourbon and sweet maple syrup though, will make your taste buds tingle with delight!
As always, it's the simple things in life that bring the most joy.
Last but not least, the view from the grand dining table to the Christmas tree!
- 3 tablespoon Bourbon
- 2 tablespoon Cranberry Juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- ½ tablespoon fresh squeezed Lemon Juice
- Fresh cranberries for garnish (optional).
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker or jar with lid. Add ice, shake vigorously, strain and divide between two cocktail size glasses. Be merry and enjoy the holidays!

The Ellison varsity 7-on-7 squad got the best of the Killeen All-Star team on the first day of the inaugural Killeen Texas Scholarship Showdown.
But the All-Star team turned the tables on the second day, beating Ellison not once but twice Saturday, including in the championship game to take the 7-on-7 title at Leo Buckley Stadium.
And in a strange twist, it was a former Eagle playing a key role in the championship game, as Trent Jones quarterbacked the All-Stars to victory in the final game.
"The told me they needed a superstar," Jones said with a smile, "so I came."
Jones, who will play at Southwestern Assemblies of God this fall, didn't play with the All-Stars the first two games but stepped in to toss five touchdowns in the championship game.
And Jones and one of his favorite targets at Ellison — Hayward Clay, who will play receiver at West Texas A&M — actually seemed to relish the opportunity to go up against their former Eagle teammates.
"We had to put them in their place," Clay said.
"Keeping them humble and keeping them hungry," Jones added.
Of course, there was also gamesmanship on the part of the current Eagles, who said Jones wasn't the reason they lost.
"They studied our plays," sophomore quarterback Carl Robinson III said. "We couldn't break them."
Former Killeen receiver Devyn Williams nabbed an interception in the championship game, one of two by the All-Star team, in addition to hauling in a touchdown pass from Jones.
Williams said lining up next to Clay and catching passes from Jones was strange at first.
But like the two former Eagles, the former Roo said that, overall, it was a fun experience.
"It was a little weird just because we're rivals," said Williams, who will play at Oklahoma Panhandle State. "But we're all friends outside of football, so it was pretty cool just seeing what could've been."
In the end, everyone — from the champions to the runner-ups — was simply happy for the opportunity to play competitive football at the Showdown, presented by the Killeen-Fort Hood Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi.
"It felt good," Jones said. "It was fun. I just came here and just played football, the game I love."
