Parent company Prestige Cruise Holdings (a subsidiary of private equity company Apollo Management, L.P., which also has a 50 percent ownership stake in NCL) announced that effective November 10, both lines will eliminate fuel supplements on all new bookings made for sailings that depart on or after January 1, 2010.
For existing reservations on voyages departing in 2010, the fuel supplement charge will automatically be removed from passengers' final payment balance.
For those booked on sailings that depart in 2009 (regardless of booking date), Oceania and Regent have adopted a protocol for issuing fuel supplement refunds, to be determined on a quarterly basis.
Simply put, if the closing price of West Texas Intermediate fuel is below $65 per barrel two weeks prior to the beginning of the calendar quarter during which your cruise sets sail, the company will refund whatever fuel supplements you paid in the form of an onboard credit. The current supplement for all new 2009 bookings is $15 per person, per day.
Calendar quarters and relevant closing dates are as follows:
On December 18, 2008, Oceania and Regent will note the closing price per barrel of West Texas Intermediate fuel. If that price is below $65, passengers departing on cruises between January 1 and March 31, 2009 (first quarter 2009) will earn a refund in the form of onboard credit.
On March 18, 2009, if the price is less than $65, passengers departing on cruises between April 1 and June 30, 2009 (second quarter 2009) will earn a refund in the form of onboard credit.
The June 17, 2009 price will determine whether passengers departing on cruises between July 1 and September 30, 2009 (third quarter 2009) will get the onboard credit.
The September 17, 2009 price will determine whether passengers departing on cruises between October 1 and December 31, 2009 (fourth quarter 2009) will get the onboard credit.
The new fuel supplement policies apply to all passengers regardless of country of residency. And, of course, the line could reinstate surcharges at any time, depending on the price of oil.
See our At Your Service piece for a full list of cruise line fuel surcharges.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan Airlines applied on Wednesday to re-list its shares in September after it has raised about $8 billion in an initial public offering, doubling the government's investment in a rare successful case of state-led restructuring in Japan.
The carrier, which rebounded sharply from bankruptcy and is booking record profits, submitted its application to the Tokyo Stock Exchange after an annual shareholder meeting, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
JAL is looking to raise 600-700 billion yen ($7.6-$8.9 billion) in the IPO, sources have said, which would make it the second biggest offering this year after social networking giant Facebook's (FB.O) $16 billion IPO, and the seventh-largest ever in Japan. The listing is expected in mid-September.
A successful IPO at that valuation would allow the government to make a handsome profit on the 350 billion yen a state-backed fund injected into the airline following its bankruptcy in January 2010 with $25 billion in debts.
JAL's revival is not without controversy.
Chief domestic rival All Nippon Airways (9202.T) has started to publicly question whether state support has created an unfair playing field, pointing to a massive tax credit that could allow JAL to forgo corporate tax payments for another eight years.
But to some observers JAL represents a rare success story, in sharp contrast to a common approach by both the state and the country's top lenders of propping up ailing firms with funds without pushing for tough restructuring.
"JAL's quick turnaround can change the impression of Japan. In the past, there was a perception that any revival scheme in Japan took a lot of time," said Hideyuki Ishiguro, assistant manager at Okasan Securities' investment strategy department.
A JAL spokeswoman said she could not confirm whether the carrier had applied on Wednesday to re-list. The Tokyo Stock Exchange also declined to comment. Official confirmation normally comes once applications have been approved.
The Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corporation of Japan, the state-backed fund that owns 96.5 percent of JAL and is required by law to sell its stake by next January, or three years after its investment, declined to comment.
JAL's strong recovery out of bankruptcy has come on the back of a massive restructuring that cost 16,000 jobs, several routes and cuts to pension benefits. It was also helped by debt forgiveness and lower depreciation costs thanks to a write-off of its fleet and other assets.
It posted record operating profit of 204.9 billion yen in the year to end-March - roughly on par with industry leader United Continental Holdings (UAL.N), which made a profit of $2.4 billion last year.
But analysts doubt JAL can keep up that level of profitability with labor and other costs set to rise and low-cost carriers starting to build a presence in Japan. JAL itself projects its operating profit will fall to 150 billion yen in the current year to next March.
"I'm highly skeptical whether they can maintain this high level of profitability, especially after the IPO," said Tsutomu Noda, managing director and co-Japan representative of restructuring advisory firm AlixPartners Asia. "The biggest issue for the IPO is what's the equity story. The airline industry is suffering from many negative factors such as recession, fuel cost increases and tougher competition."
AlixPartners consulted for JAL in 2010 when it was working with creditors in a bid to avoid bankruptcy.
In another hurdle for the IPO, JAL has struggled to secure the support of banks, insurers and other domestic business partners to help it meet its goal of putting at least 10 percent of its stock in the hands of stable, long-term shareholders.
Those firms are now weighing the prospects of ensuring good ties with JAL against the risk of investing in such a volatile industry and potentially saddling their balance sheets with equity losses again, sources have said.
"We feel frustrated. Our shareholding was reduced to just a scrap of paper," said a top executive at an insurer which saw its shares of JAL reduced to zero in the 2010 bankruptcy. "I think everyone shares the same feeling of anger. But we still have to consider whether to buy the stock without any prejudice since airlines are big customers of ours."
JAL has sounded out Australia's Qantas Airways (QAN.AX), British Airways owner IAG (ICAG.L) and other members of the Oneworld alliance to take a stake in the IPO, sources have said.
Fostering Oneworld relationships is viewed as important for JAL as it seeks to boost its seat capacity on international routes by 25 percent over the next five years, offsetting expected weakness on domestic routes.

We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don't measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Free of sugar, lactose and gluten and they still taste good. Clemmy's Ice Cream Bars are a very good product at only 70 calories a bar.
Are you wondering, as we did, that Clemmy's is an odd name for an ice cream company? The company's founder, Jon Gordon, was diagnosed as prediabetic and loved ice cream. He and his trusted cat Clemmy, worked in his kitchen on batch after batch of sugar free ice cream until he came up with the recipe for the current products. He decided that the company should be named after his cooking buddy, and so Clemmy's was born.
The bars come in 4 flavors – Cherry Vanilla, Chocolate Fudge, Orange Crème and Strawberries 'n Crème. Each bar (2 ounces) has 70 calories and 10 milligrams of sodium (Chocolate Fudge has 20 milligrams). The company also sells pints of super-premium ice cream in 8 flavors. All products are kosher certified (OU) and gluten-free, though the package allergen alert statement cautions "Product is manufactured in a facility that uses Wheat, Soy, Peanuts and Tree Nuts."

The vampire is one of the most recognizable icons in the horror genre and, as such, is often the central figure in horror fiction. There are probably millions of stories out there having to do with vampires, vampirism, or the granddaddy of all bloodsuckers, Count Dracula; and if you had asked me a year ago, I would have told you that the vampire angle had been done to death. I would have been wrong… (Lucky for me, finding this out is one of the pleasant perks of this job.)
Parish Damned is the story of a small coastal town, Coral Point. Inhabited mostly by fisherman and their families during the off season and teaming with tourists the rest of the time, Coral Point is home to something very dark. Every four years many of the elderly or infirm residents are stricken with a strange sickness, known locally as "the Crud." After a lingering illness, the unfortunate souls seemingly surrender themselves to the waves and wash up on shore, becoming the titular "parish damned," a phrase taken from sailor lore.
Thomas tells the story of Coral Point and its inhabitants from the point of view of one of the locals, a strong man of few words who captains his own boat, mostly running the rich tourists out on charters. It seems that the whole town knows there's something more going on than just sickness every four years, but no one mentions it. Except that this year, something's different. The victims of the Crud are being found dead in their homes, not washed up on the beach. Doesn't seem like much of a problem … but it is.
The story that follows is both new and fresh and yet comfortably familiar. The characters Thomas introduces us to are all distinct and individual despite the limited amount of time we're given to get to know them. Now, don't get me wrong; there's no big twist here, no Sixth Sense type ending, just damn fine storytelling and some genuinely creepy moments.
We learn the truth about the Crud and Graham, a well-to-do tourist who docks his boat (named The Sunseeker, in a tastefully tongue-in-cheek moment) in Coral Point every four years. During the journey Thomas introduces us to something more frightening, more elemental than the romantic European vampires we've become used to. Graham may be an old-school bloodsucker, but this year he's not the one menacing the small town. No. This year they're falling prey to a more voracious kind of fanged foe, one that lives beneath the waves.
This is not just the story of a town, but of a man and his choices. It's bittersweet, and really rather touching, despite the terror of the tale. And there is terror and gore enough to satisfy horror fans. Yet, Parish Damned is very subtle and grounded in humanity.
This is an immensely satisfying story that is well worth the read. My biggest complaint is that there are only 79 pages. It might not quite be on par with killer sharks and salty sea captains singing "Spanish Ladies," but Lee Thomas has still given us another reason not to go back out on the water.

Images in Opposition: Australian Landscape Painting, 1801-1890
A scholarly and original examination of Australian landscape painting, this book examines its formative years--from the arrival of the first professional landscape painter, William Westall, until the emergence of the first school of Australian artists led by Tom Roberts. It is primarily concerned with the "colonial" landscape painters active between 1820 and 1885, such as John Glover, Conrad Martens, Eugene von Gu rard, and Louis Buvelot. Landscape painting in Australia in the nineteenth century is important both as an expression of colonists' attitudes to the country they had only recently settled and as a record of changes Europeans wrought on the landscape. Bonyhady discusses the position of artists in nineteenth-century Australian society--their incomes, social status, societies, and exhibitions--and considers how landscape painters concentrated on a range of contrasting aspects of Australian scenery. He defines and explains the sequence of opposing images that were most important in Australian landscape painting between 1820 and 1890, and sets each theme within its cultural context. The most striking consequence of this approach is that the works discussed are shown to possess a degree of cultural unity which belies the early isolation and the later disparate origins of the artists.

Amazing Hungarian Chicken Paprikash With Dumplings
Recipe by Danny P
This recipe has been passed down in my Hungarian family for generations and perfected. I now use boneless chicken despite bone-in being the tradition. I think it makes it a little more friendly without losing any taste.
Top Review by kimbellow
I am also part Hungarian and a recipe much like this one was passed down in my family as well. In fact its the ONLY recipe passed down. Chicken Paprikash has been my favorite comfort dish since I was a child. this is the only recipe i know by heart but i wanted to see if there were any better ways to prepare it. (such as your mixing the sour cream separately was brilliant) We make our Dumplings slightly different though. Actually they are more like dumpling noodles. instead of making it dry ours calls for the mixture to be slightly runny (and I like to add a little paprika to the mixture as an extra kick!) then instead of a knife use a spoon to scoop the dough into the boiling water. And only use I/3 of the spoon (the side) and get the dough into the water by knocking the spoon on the edge of the pot and then continuing on to the next. (yes it can be time consuming but the efforts are worth it) make sure to have a straining spoon handy and a cassorole dish with a dab of butter to keep the dumpling noodles from sticking. As you continue one by one spooning the mixture in the pot, some of the dumplings should be rising to the surface so periodically scoup them out with the straining spoon and dump them in the cassirole dish. They should resemble slightly half-moon shaped pieces of chewed up gum (I know that sounds gross but that's the best description I've got). Continue scooping the dough untill its done. This takes a while and this is usually when my grandmother employed my help when I was young and how I learned to make this dish better than anyone in my family including her. I am happy to know there is someone else out there who was raised on this amazing and rare dish! Tonight for dinner I'm going to try it your way... :) Thank you!

Ingredients Nutrition
For chicken and sauce
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 -2 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoons paprika (Hungarian sweet is preferrable, yes, you can taste the difference. Substitute 1 tbsp with half-sharp)
- 3 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 32 ounces chicken broth
- 10 ounces sour cream
- 2 1⁄4 cups water
- 3⁄4 cup flour
For the dumplings
- 6 eggs
- 4 cups flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
Directions See How It's Made
- Set a large pot of water on to boil for the dumplings.
- De-fat, and tenderize chicken. Cut into bite-sized pieces. With oil, brown chicken in a large pan on medium-high heat (6-10 min).
- Add paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth to the chicken in the pan. Stir them to mix. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer and put a lid on and let simmer for 25 minute.
- In a container with a lid (tupperware is good) mix water, flour and sour cream for the chicken. Shaking the mixture aggressively is the best way to ensure a smooth mix. Set aside mixture for later.
- While chicken is simmering, mix all ingredients - eggs, flour, water, and salt - for the dumplings together in a mixing bowl. It should be a pretty thick, dry mix when you are done. If it's too gooey, add small amounts of flour until it is more dry.
- With water boiling, turn down the heat to low. Tip the mixing bowl until the dumpling dough rests at the edge. Using a dull knife (butter knife), slice the dough from the lip of the bowl into small blobs and into the pot. Continue this process until all of the dough has been used. This process takes about 3-5 minute Dipping the knife occasionally into the boiling water will prevent dough from sticking to it.
- Raise heat and boil dumplings for another 5-6 min or so.
- Meanwhile, the chicken should be about done simmering. Using a spoon, draw some of the chicken sauce and put it into the sour cream/flour/water mixture that you had set aside. This is important to prevent sour cream from curdling. Put the lid on and shake the mixture once more. There should be no flour or sour cream chunks in the mixture.
- Finally, stir the mixture into the chicken pan. Mix until consistent. Bring the sauce to a boil stirring occasionally for sauce to thicken.
- Drain the water from the dumplings.
- Usually, chicken and sauce are served on top of the dumplings.

Answers (1)
Crawford is a very small village it is good to live in but I wouldn't say it is the place for the younger person. You do have a local pub, The Crawford Arms, and a shop although it closes at 5pm at night and 1pm at the weekend. If you drive you have the shop in Abinton though there is also a small school there.Answered on Nov 7 2009, Report content

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest near Portland Oregon and currently live in Hillsboro with my wife and three children. I am an avid home brewer and love the craft brewing scene in the Portland and the Bend/Redmond area! Central Oregon has always been a second home to me. I believe it is one of the most beautiful places on earth and there is so much to do here!
Mike & Vanessa Herb purchased this townhome in 2006
My mother grew up in Redmond Oregon and other family lived in other areas of Central Oregon including Sunriver. Redmond was the home to my grandparents and so this was the destination for many vacations and nearly every holiday. Even today, the smell of the juniper berries and the clean Central Oregon air brings back exciting memories of my childhood! Although we live near Portland, I knew that some how, some way I needed to make the Central Oregon area a vacation destination that we could also share with others. There is something very special about the high desert in Central Oregon and you feel it the moment you arrive. I hope you are able to experience this and make memories for you and your family!
We have vacationed throughout Central Oregon including places around Bend and Sunriver. While we love Sunriver, there is something about Eagle Crest and the home we chose that we have grown to love even more! You can take a walk from our place and within moments be climbing Cline Butte for an incredible view of the Cascade Range, the three Sisters and Smith Rock State Park. The high desert offers a dryer climate than Sunriver while still getting its fair share of snow. Rental of our home includes unlimited access to three sports centers for indoor tennis, racquetball, basketball, indoor pool, fitness centers, a game room, other outdoor pools and a spray park. Some of this is just a very short walk from our place. These are perks offered at Eagle Crest that you often have to drive to and pay extra fees for at Sunriver. It is also more economical to stay at Eagle Crest where you can usually stay at a much nicer place for the money. Check out our home and you will see what we mean! Our places has a walking/bike path behind it accessing 18 miles of trails. There is a small creek flowing by. Cline Butte is visible from our back deck. At night, it is so incredibly quiet and peaceful...like heaven on earth!
Eagle Crest is a fantastic resort community. This condo was outstanding!! Everything was in great condition and working order. Very clean and well kept! Working with Mike & Vanessa was a pleasure! Looking forward to going back in the future!
The condo was nicely furnished and kitchen well appointed with cookware and even some staples in the cupboard and frig! Nice deck with a view of the green and a little brook. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks!!!
Convenient condo for having a small dog. Quiet and clean. Nice location to pool, tennis etc.
We arrived early and the housekeepers welcomed us even though we upset their balance.
It was clean, well kept, everything worked, and there was even a great coffee maker (I was worried about that, actually). What can I say, I'm a coffee snob.
Then we headed home and until we arrived back in Ashland I discovered that I had inadvertantly left a brand new, relatively expensive hardback book in the condo. The owners contacted housekeeping, who is mailing it back to me, for which I will of course reimburse. That was unecessary and unexpected, but wonderful. Thank Mike and Vanessa. rs
The property was beautiful. It was clean and well taken care of. It was a great location for our kids because we were right next to the kid pool and horse back riding. Looking forward to stay there again.
The house was lovely and equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of space for 5 women quilters. The grounds are well maintained and the area is very peaceful. We had a wonderful time visiting, taking classes, and looking at the quilts in the quilt show. Thanks for making it such a wonderful experience.
This location is an outdoor mecca. Rock climbing and hiking also featured at nearby Smith Rock.
The Bend/Redmond area is the fast growing micro-brewery location in the world. Many festivals throughout the year and tours.
Just under two hours away and see the the deepest lake in the United States, and 9th deepest in the word, Crater Lake.

"Testing for chlamydia"

Lady came to offer condoms and a test if we wanted one. I thought that was good.

McCain's record of tackling energy policy on Capitol Hill shows little of the clear direction he says would come from a McCain White House. Instead, the Arizona senator has swerved from one position to another over the years, taking often contradictory stances on the federal government's role in energy policy.It's genuinely nice to see this kind of thing in the mainstream press. But at the risk of seeming churlish, Levey's story is also a pretty good example of how McCain routinely gets the benefit of the doubt even when his chameleon-like record is being exposed to the light of day.
At times he has backed measures to ease restrictions on oil drilling off the coast and in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Other times he has voted to keep them.
He has championed standards to require that automakers make vehicles more fuel-efficient, yet opposed standards to require that utilities use less fossil fuel by generating more power from renewable sources, such as wind and solar. [Etc. etc.]
Why do McCain's positions change so much? The very first person quoted on this point is McCain's own advisor, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who says his boss is just being pragmatic: "Sen. McCain is interested in getting results." On the other side, the best Levey could do is one guy who calls McCain's record "sporadic" and another who says his support for subsidies "seems to contradict his record."
That's hard hitting stuff! The rest of the story is just a dry recitation of McCain's record, written in a way that often makes it hard to figure out exactly what McCain's flip-flops are, let alone why he's changed his positions on so many things. And that's odd, because eventually stories like these always allude darkly to interest groups that need to be appeased or donors who need to be pandered to. But not this one. There's not even a hint of a suggestion that McCain's motivations might be politically based. You'd have to be a considerable sleuth to put two and two together and make the connection that McCain's policies — both the ones that have changed and the ones that haven't — virtually always favor existing energy interests.
Without motivation, these stories just don't stick. That motivation is usually front and center when the subject is John Kerry or Barack Obama, but it's missing in action when the subject is John McCain. Funny that.

I was anxious ordering this as I was unsure of my size. I normally wear a medium but I have a similar sweater to this that is a small. I was also anxious about my chubby arms fitting comfortably in the long sleeves. I ordered a small and hoped for the best. I wasn't disappointed, it fits perfect. I'm 5'3" and 135 pounds. There is enough stretch that it fits very comfortably, and it doesn't pull in any weird areas around the mid section. I ordered the cream sweater and I really like it.Read More
Great sweater! Contours nicely and looks great! Highly recommend !Read More
This is a nice sweater, quality is okay, not great, for the price. Not sure I'd buy it again. Belt isn't attractive so I wear it with a different belt.Read More

text: BOSTON, Aug. 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZIOP) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, and provided an update on the Company's key development activities, including advances in its synthetic biology platform with Channel Collaborator Intrexon Corporation. "We continue to make great strides with our synthetic biology platform, and expect that the coming quarters will be an important period of validation for both our most advanced program, IL-12 DNA, and our various, cutting-edge multi-genic and immunotherapeutic programs, which are rapidly progressing toward the clinic," said Jonathan Lewis, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ZIOPHARM. "These technologies, the first to combine the principles of precision engineering, statistical modeling, automation and production at an industrial scale in the life sciences, are revealing the potential for significant therapeutic advances in cancer treatment." Dr. Lewis added: "Our progress will include clinical and preclinical readouts, presentations and publications, many in cooperation with our synthetic biology channel collaborator Intrexon Corporation." Recent Corporate Highlights Ad-RTS IL-12, the Company's lead drug candidate, is currently being tested in two Phase 2 studies, the first for the treatment of advanced melanoma, and the second in combination with other therapies for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. In May 2013, ZIOPHARM announced promising results from nonclinical and Phase 1 studies in advanced melanoma using Ad-RTS-IL-12. In these studies, the controlled expression of IL-12, through a regulatable gene therapy strategy, was found to limit systemic toxicity while inducing biological and clinical activity in a dose-dependent fashion. The findings were presented in an oral session at the 16th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT). In June, updated results were presented at the 2013 American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO). ZIOPHARM also announced in March 2013 the initiation of a randomized, open label Phase 2 clinical study of Ad-RTS-IL-12 in combination with other therapies to treat breast cancer. The two-part, multi-center U.S. study will enroll patients with non-resectable, recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have visible lesions or lesions accessible by injection. The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the therapeutic combination of Ad-RTS-IL-12 and other therapies. Initiation of the clinical study was followed by the presentation of results, from a study in a breast cancer murine preclinical model, demonstrating the anti-tumor effects and tolerability of Ad-RTS-IL-12. The data were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 2013 Annual Meeting in April.

The action was misinterpreted by the Turks as a friendly gesture who returned this note along with a parcel of tobacco thanking the Australians for their thoughtful gift of preserved meat. The note is written in French. Also included is a photocopy of newsclipping from the Melbourne "Argus" (1934) giving an account of the story and a translation of the note.

Utopia Issue – June 2016
Dear readers,
This month Schlock presents an entire issue dedicated to one of the most misunderstood concepts of political debate: Utopia. In this issue, led by guest editor Elise Billiard, we will proclaim that Utopia is not dead, that Utopia is not an escape to or from reality, but on the contrary a way to propose new possible realities. Indeed, as many thinkers have stressed in recent years, the lack of political alternatives is limiting our ability to improve our world.
Utopia is not (only) the latest fashionable concept. In this issue architect Alberto Favaro describes how detailed depictions representing utopian and dystopian scenes played a crucial role in the Italian city of Siena in the Middle Ages, centuries before Thomas More's imaginary island. These illustrations of the consequences of good and bad governments were placed in the council room of Siena to inspire the decision-makers and to remind them of their responsibilities towards the population they administered. Architecture at that time was not just about beauty or functionality, as it is too often today, but also about socio-political issues.
We could even go back further in history and argue that Plato's Republic was also a utopia or wasn't it?
Let us reconfigure our definition of Utopia. Anna Katarrh 's manifesto provides a great opportunity to think about the etymological base of the term: 'no-place'. For Katarrh, a utopian space is necessary to enable debate, conflict, negotiation and collaboration – interactions which all too often take place behind closed doors- particularly in our privatized world. Finally, Elise Billiard's provoking essay brings into play the dark forces of the after-world as a possible universal 'no-place' of reunion through collective grief.
So dear readers, it is now time to take our dreams seriously. Time to speak them out loud, time to shake up the austere present made of "realist economic and political strategies" which are becoming a nightmare for many of us.

Is it possible to configure printing options for the Network Map?
I don't see any way to choose paper size or scaling options. It would be nice to be able to, for example, for the map to print on one sheet of tabloid size.
This topic was created during version 5.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

I tested the network map printing in my environment and found a similar result. Even with changing the default PDF paper size to tabloid under Advanced Settings didn't affect printing (but it did change for printing reports to PDF).
If you are on version 5, have you tried submitting this through the feedback link at the lower left of the network map page?
Nov 26, 2010 at 4:15 UTC
No, I didn't try that yet because I wanted to ask first in case I was just missing something simple.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

As I mentioned in my first post, I am working onthe localization of Bioshock 2 to Hungarian language. But there are some expression whom I can't understand, a I can't find the faintest clue what they mean. So I would like to ask some help from you. If you can explain, what these idioms mean, please write it down in a comment!
I have three problematic expression in this moment:
--"beast apart" Sofia Lamb about Subject Delta, in her speech before the ambush at Tenenbaum's hideout.
--"moral vessel" Sofia Lamb about her daughter, many times.
--"afterbirth" Take a guess... Sofia Lamb. The message:
- "Through ADAM Eleanor will become the daughter of the people – a true Utopian ... brilliant beyond measure, but utterly selfless. As she ascends, Delta, you and I will seem as dogs, circling and snarling amid the afterbirth."
- ― Sofia Lamb
I hope someone will answering...

Absolutely wonderful vacation for family of 4 on Oasis: Oasis of the Seas Cruise Review by dee1321
Overall Member Rating
Absolutely wonderful vacation for family of 4 on Oasis
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We sat in the terminal for about 10 minutes after checking in and having boarding picture made. Once on board we headed the excursion desk to book our Jamaica excursion (Canopy Zipline Tour at Rosehall). I had waited too long to book online prior to leaving home and I would have been in trouble had it been sold out! No line at excursion desk when we boarded so it worked out great!!
Headed to Park Cafe for wonderful Roast Beef sandwiches and custom made salads!! I have to say that was my husband and I's favorite spot for lunches. Absolutely wonderful!! We need a restaurant like that in our small town and we would eat there several times a week!! lol
Rooms were ready at 1pm and ours was on deck 14. The four of us stayed in one cabin. This was a tight squeeze when getting ready for dinner, but otherwise OK. We were the last balcony cabin on port side (aft). It had the bed close to closet and full/queen sleeper sofa for the girls. Also, there was an awesome large public balcony next door that was rarely ever used by anyone but us. Most people did not even know about it. So usually while we were getting ready for dinner one or two of us would go relax on the lounge chairs on that balcony while the other family members showered and dressed for dinner. I might look into how expensive it would be to have 2 cabins on the next cruise with the girls staying across the hall, but if too expensive would stay in this type of cabin again.
We LOVED all the many activities on this ship. There was always something to do!! We booked all of our show reservations before we left home and this was a big help. We did not even make it to all of our reservations as they girls wanted to see some of the standard RCL shows like Love & Marriage and Quest. We had the late seating dinner and therefore our reserved show times sometimes clashed with the scheduling of the shows mentioned above. We did see Hairspray and Oasis of Dreams and Frozen in Time. They were all very good especially Hairspray. I might would opt for the early dinner next time though so there would not be late night conflicts.
Ports of Call: Labadee .... very disappointing. We like the other RCL private island better of Coco Cay in the Bahamas. Labadee you must have on shoes to get in the water, the sand was dirty to me as we are used to Destin, FL. It was very hot the day we were there (no breeze). The lunch was good though. Next time would probably just stay on the ship and enjoy the empty pools. JAMAICA: port is still being worked on, but markets were very clean and nice and we enjoyed shopping in the local markets within the port; you did not have to leave the new Falmouth area to shop and we felt very very safe. We did book an excursion to do a zipline Canopy tour with Chukka Ziplines at Rosehall. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed this excursion. The BEST excursion we have ever done. It was probably just over 3 hours in the tree tops. Very professional and FUN guides!! We all felt very safe. Transportation was provided in the price of the tickets .... it was approx $100 per person and very worth it!! Cozumel: had been there before and stayed on the ship that day; practically had the ship to ourselves until 3pm that afternoon. It was wonderful!!
Food was good in the dining room, however my husband and I noticed dinner portions were smaller than in the past. Our waiter and assistant waiter were EXCELLENT!!! If they ever thought we did not get enough or might still be hungry they would bring us another appetizer or entree. Lobster and steak night was no exception. We never ate at the specialty restaurants as we were pleased with dining room service. My husband and I had purchased to gold wine package before boarding and therefore had a bottle of wine with dinner every night, this was a nice touch.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Our cruise director was Richard Spacey and he was WONDERFUL!!! So glad we were able to cruise with him as he was getting off the Oasis when we did for vacation.
Disembarking: the only time we really ever stood in line, but not too bad. We had one of the later times assigned to us to get off the ship 8:30 - 8:45. We were still at the airport by 10:00 for an airline departure of 12:50pm. Less

Cabin review: D314328 Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
14328: bed closest to closet made for tight squeeze getting in closet; beds very comfortable; VERY, VERY quiet cabin no hall traffic or cabin doors slamming; large public balcony next door that was hardly ever used except by us (don't think many people even knew about it ... you could even watch the Aqua Theater shows from one part of it and see rehearsals.) Outlets very difficult to get too; bring at least a 3 outlet adapter to help with plugging things in; plenty of hangars in closet already; enjoyed our private balcony as well as public next door balcony; great location at the back of the boat; convenient to pools and windjammer and dining rooms; casino was close to us too! not much drawer space for four people, would be plenty for two people; 2 bathrobes in cabin; very clean!Read All Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony (D3) Reviews >>

I have been informed that there will be a change for this event from 1 day to 2 days.
More information as soon as I get it!
|#3 (permalink)
From the desk of David Justin, W.T.L. President:
Come join us for two action packed days of paintball
The W.T.L. in conjunction with Hollywood Sports Park in Bellflower, CA is proud to announce.
The W.T.L. is the only Woodsball Tournament of its kind.
The W.T.L. is a pure player's league in which our rules and format were designed by the players. Come and challenge all types of teams: Pump, Scenario, Speedball, Mil-Sim and Pistols all teams are welcome.
The W.T.L. is played with 7 player 7 minute games (with the exception of the pistol division) and played on rec-ball fields. There are NO GUN or HOPPER RESTRICTIONS! Use what you want as fast as you want. The only catch, we are a LIMITED PAINT tournament. Six of the players can only carry two pods each (140 round pods with no paint in the hopper at the start) and the 7th player is the heavy gunner who can carry unlimited paint but cannot share it.
We are also the least expensive tournament to play in. Only $350 per team, up to 10 on a team. That is at least $35 per player and it's a BRING YOUR OWN PAINT event!
We use NPPL trained Referees. We have a strict "No Cheating Policy" and all teams must read and sign the rules before playing. Players or teams that cheat are not welcome and when caught will be asked to leave and will NOT receive a refund.
Want to play the W.T.L. but not on a team or is your team short handed? No problem! We will do our best to find a team for you to play on or find players that will fill up your team!
The W.T.L. now have four divisions that players can participate in:
Open - 7 Man 7 Minutes - Any one with any marker can play
Pump - 7 Man 7 Minutes - Pump Markers Only
Pistol - 5 Man 7 Minutes - Pistols Only
Young Guns - 7 Kids 7 Minutes - 10 to 14 Years Only
Agenda for our January event:
Friday: 29th Pre-Event Team get together (See website for location)
Saturday: 30th W.T.L. Event from 7am – 5pm Hollywood Sports Park
Saturday: 30th Post – Event Team get together (See website for location)
Sunday: 31st Big game for all W.T.L. teams
And like always your suggestions and input on how to make this event even better are always welcome.
Thanks again for all your help and support.
See you in January!

You're driving along; you're bored. The tin-pot local radio station you're listening is pushing out clichéd chart music… perhaps you're lost. Perhaps it's time you relied on your Android device for entertainment, navigation and general in-car information?
Whether planning to use a phone or tablet, Android has a wealth of useful apps that you can use to stream music from the Internet, navigate your way from A to B and even manage fuel logs and mileage expenses.
Some apps, of course, are better than others…
Roadhouse Blues: Use Your Apps Safely!
Before we take a look at what's available, let's be crystal clear:
You should not touch your phone while driving!
As these apps can provide vital assistance or a bit of entertainment while you're driving, it is important to maintain safety and to stay within the law – as well as to just be a generally decent person. So if you have passengers, rely on them to interact with any apps you have running.
If you're traveling alone, cue music to run while your car is stopped; pull over to make amendments to your satnav app.
That is all. Just don't do it.
Ultimate Motoring App: Auto-M8
Before you start your journey, you should have already installed Auto-M8 (free signup required), a superb tool for ensuring you have access to vital things like mileage tracking and accident assistance.
While many new cars have onboard Internet connectivity and push-button accident assistance options, most of us don't drive such a car. Thanks to Auto-M8, however, such technology is now available, along with facilities to log your mileage and fuel use, find nearby filling stations and more.
There is a bit of configuration required behind the scenes to get the most out of Auto-M8, but this is an essential addition to any dashboard-mounted Android device and can turn a dumb car into a smartcar.
Currently, Auto-M8 appears to be UK-only. Find out more at www.auto-m8.com.
Satnav on Android with Google Maps Navigation
It is unwise to head anywhere new without first planning your trip. If you haven't had time, however, you can make amends on the fly using Google Maps Navigation, the excellent satnav app for Android which is essentially an extension of the main Google Maps app.
Free, and perhaps already installed on your phone, Google Maps Navigation provides you with the tools to get from A to B.
If you haven't already used Google Maps Navigation to guide you on your journey, our recent selection of 10 Google Maps & Navigation Tips Get There Faster - 10 Google Maps & Navigation Tips Get There Faster - 10 Google Maps & Navigation Tips Google Maps is still the most powerful mapping service ever, despite what Apple might say. Whether you're using Google Maps in a browser on your desktop or an app on your mobile phone, Google Maps... Read More should help you on your way.
Of course there are other satnav apps (Waze is a good one – as you can read in our review of the iOS version Waze: A Social GPS For Your Daily Commute [iOS] Waze: A Social GPS For Your Daily Commute [iOS] Out of all the navigation apps that are currently on the market, Waze may very well have the best concept. The only catch is that it doesn't have a "big name" backing it (like Google... Read More – but its speed trap tool isn't 100% reliable, based on the way the data is collected). Google Maps is already installed on your phone, though, so you can try it out first and see how it works for you.
In-Car Entertainment
First things first – if you're using a dashboard mounted Android device, forget about online TV. While you might have tablets in the back of your car for younger family members to watch videos, this isn't something you can expect to have in the front of your car, for obvious reasons of road safety.
However, there are several apps you can use to provide audio entertainment.
Spotify: the popular music streaming service is available on Android, and if you're already using it on your PC you can simply sign in and start listening. You might also choose Rdio if that is your preference, although if you're new to both you should see our comparison Spotify vs. Rdio: A Complete Comparison Spotify vs. Rdio: A Complete Comparison I recently cancelled my Spotify Premium membership after a year of uninterrupted monthly payments to the company. This decision came about when I accidentally signed up for 14-days of free Rdio Unlimited. Quite frankly, I... Read More to give you an idea of what each brings to the table.
TuneIn Radio: if you want to listen to the radio, TuneIn Radio offers a massive selection of worldwide talk and music radio stations. This is a great way to catch up on overseas sports events, news, listen to music stations you wouldn't normally have access to – it's a great app that should be on your Android device already, but if not, install it in advance of traveling!
Beyond Podcast Manager: if you prefer podcasts, then this is probably your best bet on Android. You don't need to mess about syncing podcasts from your PC – just subscribe to your favorite podcasts and they will be automatically downloaded.
If Google Play Music is available in your territory, meanwhile, you might use that; you may also stream audio to your device from your preferred cloud storage.
If you need help connecting your Android to your car stereo, we've got you covered already How To Connect Your Android Phone To Your Car Audio System How To Connect Your Android Phone To Your Car Audio System Most of us enjoy music while we're driving, but often radio doesn't play the right tunes. At one time the obvious choice would have been a CD, but of course these scratch easily. Fortunately mobile... Read More .
Voice Tools for Android
You're driving; you don't want to be touching your phone. But what happens if you receive a text message, or a phone call? How do you deal with other demands of making a call, or searching the web for a phone number without touching or looking at your phone?
The answer, of course, is voice recognition apps. Handsfree is a good option, enabling you to receive calls over a Bluetooth or wired headset, and answer calls automatically.
While, the most recent versions of Android have voice recognition and messaging transcription options in the shape of Google Now, if your phone doesn't support this then you should perhaps try something like Sonalight Text by Voice which will not only read incoming text messages, put allow you to dictate replies.
Keep Your Eyes On The Road, Your Hands Upon The Wheel
We've already told you that you shouldn't be using your phone when you're driving unless you have hands-free tools and apps and/or have a companion on board who will do all of the tapping and swiping for you.
Please take heed.
The apps selected here have been chosen to give you the best digital experience when driving. They're intended to enable you to enjoy the drive, arrive safely and have access to emergency and breakdown services as quickly as possible while also monitoring your fuel consumption.
Of course, these apps are our suggestions. What are yours? Please share them below.

[2) Check out this month's featured beers]
Grand Teton Brewing Company – Bourbon Barrel Aged Double Vision (Distributed outside of tasting room exclusively through the Rare Beer Club)
German-Style Doppelbock Aged in Bourbon Barrels – 11% ABV – We've long been fans of Grand Teton's Double Vision, so we're excited to bring our members this bourbon barrel aged version which Grand Teton crafted especially for The Rare Beer Club. The beer offers a glorious range of malts, from caramel to chocolate to subtle roast to touches of dark coffee. 10 weeks of lagering time smooths everything out, and the extended time inside of bourbon barrels lends a huge amount of additional fruitines and round, plush sherry notes.
Brasserie Dupont – Avec Les Bons Voeux
Strong Holiday Saison – 9.5% ABV – We're huge fans of Dupont's seasonal, limited-release Avec Les Bons Voeux: a gloriously generous "super saison," crisp and massive all at once. White- and black-pepper yeast qualities present strongly in the aroma, with a complexity of fruit and baked elements underneath. This is toasty, for sure. There seems to be almost baklava-like layers of honeyed pastry and vanilla and breadiness, all of it lifted with a zesty punch of carbonation, an effervescence that lands right beside the pepper.
ORDERING DEADLINE: To get these beers, please place your order on or before December 15th 11:59PM EDT & make sure to ask for these beers. That part is important. They will ship a couple weeks after.

So Chaplin and I go to the jungle with some spelunker potions to find some life fruit and KitKat does her own thing when all of a sudden "a Solar Eclipse is rising" so we're all like rly? So after getting some more stuff it ended and at this point we haven't seen the sun for two nights and days. Finally we think the sun is going to come up, all of a sudden "a Solar Eclipse is rising" at this point we got almost everything we needed so we honestly didn't care. So after that Chaplin made a Terra Blade and he had a LOT of fun with that. So that's about it. Now, I'm curious. I know people say curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction revived it. I want to know so far how many people actually read this thing. If you have an account and read this, please PLEASE comment down below anything. Whether it's "I read this" or "cheese" I don't care. Bye!

Cape Town - The family of slain Athlone police officer Constable Thanduxolo Ndiki said his wife now fears for her life after their home was broken into early Tuesday morning.
Relatives said an unknown man smashed the living room window with a concrete slab at about 3am.
However, police spokeswoman Constable Noloyiso Rwexana could not confirm this.
But Ndiki's sister in-law, who was too afraid to be named, said they heard noises coming from downstairs in the double-storey home.
"It sounded like someone was trying to open the door. We switched the lights on and started shouting, asking who it was. We were scared and called for a police van. The person did not respond but left.
"After some time the person came back again. We all started screaming for help because the man was cursing at us from the outside. He then smashed the window and fled when neighbours came out,†she said.
Siviwe Ndiki, the slain officer's wife, is also a police officer.
Her sister said Siviwe was having sleepless nights."She is in constant fear that her husband's killers will come and finish her off.â€
The couple tied the knot two weeks ago after a one-year engagement. Then, three days ago, Ndiki's body was found lying on a pavement. He was wounded in the shoulder and later died in hospital. His vehicle was recovered in Muizenberg.
When the Cape Argus visited the Ndiki's Delft home today shards of glass were still on the floor.
A neighbour said she suspected that the man who had broken into the house was not a robber. The man was dressed in army shorts and a navy hoodie.
"If he was a robber he would have fled when he heard their screams and not returned.â€
Ndiki is the sixth police officer to be shot in just over two weeks. On the same day of Ndiki's death, off duty police officer Mabhuti Nqwaba, 33, was shot and killed during an attempted hijacking in Kraaifontein.
