About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
First Glimpse
The 66,084-ton, 1,250-passenger Riviera, Oceania Cruises' second new-build and sister ship to 2011's Marina, debuted on Friday, May 11, and Cruise Critic was on hand to chronicle the christening. Riviera's godmother was "Iron Chef" and Food Network star Cat Cora, a fitting choice for a cruise line that is aimed at enthusiastic foodies.

Live From Riviera: Does the Godmother Fit the Ship?
Like her sister, Riviera sports some of cruising's most palatial suites, featuring furnishings from Ralph Lauren Home and designs by Dakota Jackson of New York and S.B. Long Interiors of Greenwich, Connecticut. The ship also has a Lalique-designed grand lobby, 10 dining venues and numerous bars and lounges. Facilities include a full-service Canyon Ranch SpaClub, Bon Appetit Culinary Center (for demos and cooking classes), and the La Reserve by Wine Spectator wine bar.
While Riviera is nearly identical to Marina, which debuted in spring 2011, Oceania has made some improvements to the new vessel. Among them:
The ceiling height of Deck 14, which houses the Polo Grill and Toscana specialty restaurants, as well as the library and Internet center, has been raised by eight inches.
The hot tub on the Spa Deck has been replaced by a thalassotherapy pool.
The size of the spa facility has been increased slightly.
The decor of Grand Bar and Martini's has been slightly modified.

Profiles of service: Honoring the City of Plano's veterans
Veterans make up more than 10% of the city of Plano's workforce.
PLANO The city of Plano has about 2,000 employees with responsibilities ranging from facility maintenance and code inspection to putting out fires and rounding up stray animals.
While city employees come from all walks of life, more than 10% of them have one thing in common: They put themselves in harm's way to protect America's freedom. These veterans include City Manager Bruce Glasscock (Air Force), Police Chief Greg Rushin (Air Force), Interim Fire Chief Bill Peterson (Navy), and City Councilman Pat Miner (Air Force).
In preparation for Veterans Day, the city's 225 veteran employees were recognized during a city council meeting last month. The Plano Star Courier spoke with several of the veterans to highlight their service and find out what Veterans Day means to them.
The helicopter mechanic
Andrea Park doesn't look like your stereotypical helicopter mechanic.
As the city's policy and government relations coordinator, Park is responsible for helping formulate the city's legislative agenda while also ensuring strong communication with entities such as the North Texas Municipal Water District. Park has worked for the city for 4 1/2 years -- but prior to that, she served five years in the Navy.
"I get a lot of strange looks when I tell people I was a helicopter mechanic," said Park, who left the Navy with the rank of petty officer second class. "They figure there is no way I possibly knew what I was doing. I picked the job because it was something I knew nothing about and ended up loving it."
During her time in the Navy, Park was deployed overseas twice, including a stint on the U.S.S. Nimitz during Operation Iraqi Freedom. While Park didn't come from a military family, she said her family is made up of teachers and other public servants, so serving her country came naturally.
While her current job doesn't involve wrenches or rotor blades, Park said her time in the Navy has proven beneficial to her current career.
"Being in the Navy taught me leadership philosophies and instilled a sense of discipline," she said. "It also prepared me for working in the public sector. When you are in the military you know you are serving the public, but you never really meet the individuals you are serving. Working for the city, I see the people I serve face-to-face."
Park said she feels a bit awkward when people thank her for being a veteran. Instead, Park said she prefers to spend Veterans Day remembering the wounded warriors as well as the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
The artillery officer
As the chief municipal judge for the city of Plano, Don Stevenson spends his days presiding over court cases. He came to Plano in 1997 and previously served as a municipal judge in Coppell and Dalworthington Gardens.
Stevenson joined the Army in 1966 after graduating from Arlington State College, which is now known as the University of Texas at Arlington. While he served as an artillery officer during his two stints in Vietnam, it was another job he had during his time in the Army that led him to pursue a career in law.
"When I was in the Army I kept getting exposed to legal issues as an assistant defense counsel at Fort Campbell," said Stevenson, who was discharged with the rank of captain. "I was also appointed to sit on two court martial boards. As a unit commander, I was also frequently involved when some troops didn't do what they were expected to do."
In 1967, an assistant defense counsel was not required to be licensed to practice law, Stevenson said. However, his time in the courtroom at Fort Campbell led Stevenson to enroll in law school at SMU after leaving the Army in 1970. Upon graduation in 1973, Stevenson was hired by Coppell and has been a judge since.
Stevenson was instrumental in identifying veterans in the city of Plano so they could be honored by the city council. He said as a combat veteran, Veterans Day has always been important to him and he wanted to ensure his fellow veterans got the recognition they deserved.
"I am grateful for all those folks who served, especially those who did not come home," he said. "Their families have my most sincere prayers."
The flight operations specialist
Scott Lussier has held several jobs in the 22 years since he graduated college.
In addition to his current role as a supervisor in the city's property standards department, Lussier has also worked as a probation officer and in flight operations for the Army. It was his four-year stint serving his country that Lussier credits for making him the person he is today.
"I think the individual I was prior to going in was not the individual that I was when I came out," he said. "I think military service does a lot to build character and to give you a professional demeanor and an attention to detail. I think my experience in the military definitely improved my professional abilities."
Lussier spent two years in Germany and was also deployed to Bosnia for a year as part of the international peacekeeping mission. His main responsibilities included tracking helicopter flights and ensuring pilots had all the information needed to perform their duties.
After leaving the military with the rank of sergeant, Lussier served as a probation officer before joining the city as a code inspector 10 years ago. He said the two jobs are similar since they are both regulatory in nature, and the transition was fairly smooth.
Lussier said Americans should always remember the sacrifices made by veterans, not just on Veterans Day, but year-round.
"Veterans Day serves as just one special day to remember all of the military personnel -- both active and retired -- and the sacrifices they make in their day-to-day lives," he said. "We also have to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and were injured or killed in war. Everyone is busy in their day-to-day lives and they don't always think about the freedoms they have and who is there to make sure those freedoms continue."

Institution: University of Birmingham
The Postgraduate Enterprise Summer School, now in its sixth year, is a week long course that has been designed to teach skills in enterprise and entrepreneurship to postgraduate students at the University of Birmingham. Topics covered include innovation, marketing, business planning, financing, commercialisation and presentation skills. By the end of the course participants will: develop a business idea from the concept stage to a fully fledged business proposition; know the steps required to set up their own business; be aware of the requirements to commercialise research in an academic environment; be able to work effectively in a team environment; and identify which role they are best suited to in a business team. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation team of the Careers and Employability Centre plans, runs and facilitates the week with some teaching input. The majority of training is delivered by other internal staff, external trainers and entrepreneurs. The University's Business School hosts the event providing training rooms and IT suites. Being intensive, all lunches and refreshment breaks need to be catered and one evening dinner is provided, as an opportunity to network with successful entrepreneurs from the region. In recent years, use of software (SimVenture) and the internet, brainstorming tools (Ketso) and profiling tools (e.g. Belbin, eFACETS) have significantly enriched the programme.

Positioned at the nexus of federal law enforcement, defense intelligence, industry and research, the CERT Digital Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (DIID) assists in the pursuit of cybercriminals and develops tools and methods that both prevent and combat cybercrime.
By providing operational support to high-profile intrusion, identity theft, and general computer crime investigations, DIID is able to see the current limitations of computer forensics and incident response in the field first hand. Combining this applied research with the unique talents, operational experience, research capabilities, and the vast knowledge base of Carnegie Mellon University, DIID is unmatched in its ability to develop new tools and methods to address cybersecurity limitations and critical gap areas.
DIID is currently focusing on
DIID technologies, tools, and practices have provided previously unattainable results for multiple national and international cybercrime investigations. DIID assisted in the TJX case, an investigation of 11 people who were charged in August 2008 with the theft of more than 40 million credit and debit card numbers from T.J. Maxx, Marshall's, Barnes & Noble, OfficeMax, and other major retailers.
While providing analysis support to Federal Law Enforcement, DIID developed a new tool for recovering and organizing credit card numbers from digital evidence. U.S. Representatives John Murtha, Mike Doyle, and Jason Altmire recognized the team's efforts on TJX during a visit to Carnegie Mellon University in September 2008.
"Our primary work is research, but the application of it in real-world cases is what's really gratifying," team leader Rich Nolan, a former Drug Enforcement Administration agent, said. "A white paper is nice, but locking people up is better."
DIID also assisted in the Iceman case, where a former computer security consultant, Max Ray Butler (also known as the "Iceman"), was allegedly attacking computers at financial institutions and credit card processing centers, stealing account information, and selling the data to others. Knowing about the DIID Team's expertise in cracking sophisticated techniques used by cybercriminals, the Federal Law Enforcement requested DIID's assistance in acquiring and decrypting the Iceman's data, thus providing critical evidence for the case.
DIID multiplies its effectiveness by training various federal, state, local and international law enforcement agencies in its tools and techniques.

« Discussion: What Should The Jays Do? | Main | Pirates Acquire Hacker For Sanchez »
Mets Considering Trading For A First Baseman
As Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post reports, Carlos Delgado's hip problems have put his career in jeopardy. For now he's on the DL, but there's no immediate timeline for his return. This leaves the Mets without a first baseman. Here are some of Minaya's options:
- Fernando Tatis could play first, perhaps with help from Daniel Murphy. Gary Sheffield's probably not an option anywhere but the outfield.
- The Mets could sign Richie Sexson, Jose Vidro or another free agent
- He could make a trade. Jerry Manuel said Minaya's looking at trade possibilities. Could a player like Aubrey Huff or Jorge Cantu be a fit?

Book, How To Fabricate Automotive Fiberglass & Carbon Fiber Parts Part # 88-1800-2
Author: Dan Burrill and Jeffrey Zurschmeide Softbound 8.5 x 11 176 Pages 409 Color Photos ISBN: 9781934709986 Fiberglass and composite parts are commonly used in many collector cars, hot rods, Corvettes, and even latemodel vehicles. Body panels, interior components, and enige parts are fabricated from fiberglass and composite materials (plastic molded or carbon fiber). While other fiberglass and composite material books have been published, few are focused on fabricating and repairing automotive parts, and this book concentrates on completing common and advanced projects at home in the garage. The reader is shown how to use glass strand mat, woven fiberglass cloth, carbon fiber cloth, and hybrid fabrics for particular applications. The strength of these mats and ideal uses are covered in detail. Also shown is how to correctly mix the typical resins (Polyester, epoxy), hardeners, and gels. Core materials such as wood, foam and honeycomb Nomex, are often used to add strength to various parts. All the relevant tools, including mixing containers, holding containers, saws, scissors, files, and shaping tools are discussed. Constructing wood patterns to exacting standards from wood, Formica, aluminum, and other materials is essential and covered in detail. Whether repairing existing components, fabricating new ones, building a race car, or restoring a classic, this is the one book to guide the reader through each critcial stage. Learn More

Book, How To Hook and Launch: Traction Mods for Street and Strip Part # 88-1805-2
Author: Dick Miller Softbound 8.5 x 11 128 Pages 230 Color Photos ISBN: 9781934709351 While building big horsepower has becomre easier, putting that power to the pavement is still quite a challenge. Getting great "bite" involves a lot more than sticky tires and a smoky burnout. The suspension system is being put to work in a way it was never designed to operate. A better understanding of exactly what is happening to the suspension when the car launches fron a standing start will assist you in maximizing your car's effectivness on the street or at the track. In How to Hook and Launch: Traction Mods for the Street and Strip, author Dick Miller explains the physics behind what gets a car moving from a standing start, and how to best harness the various powers at work. Getting the rear tires to really bite and gain maximum traction is divided into several small steps, and Miller walks you through each phase of the launch. Today's enthusiasts face a wdie range of potential traction improvments, from softer tires and basic bolt-ons to complete or partial chassis replacements. Most opt for something in between, where some well-engineered componets are chosen to replace the factory equipment and offer a greater capability and range of adjustment. It is this range of upgrades where Miller spends most of his time, explaining what the parts and pieces do, and how to use them to their highest potential. Learn More

NOLA Bowl ready with tribal prints
DEC 6 Here we are, at the top of another bad list: this time, Louisiana has the (dubious) honor of beating out all other states when it comes to gutting higher ed funding, this Picayune story reports. The American Association of Colleges and Universities says our cuts (nearly 18 percent this year alone) are the highest in the nation. Three-fourths of the states increased funding last year, with the top spender increasing funding by 28 percent. This is a great legacy for our governor, right?
DEC 6 Blogger Lamar White Jr. takes a look at the creepy effort over in Baton Rouge, wherein the southern, lily-white area of the city wants to secede from the union, er, create its own "city" and take all the really fat sales tax cows with it. Turns out the group campaigning for the move is a for-profit corporation, and Lamar says that means its effort won't pass legal muster.
DEC 6 Blogger Tom Aswell tells us about some fishiness he found in the state worker's comp office. There's some confusion about when one guy started working there, and there's also some involvement by a GOP lege from Hammond. It's all just another example of the Jindal administration's actions that "defy explanation," Aswell says.
DEC 6 Edwin Edwards may think it's possible he will be governor again, but columnist James Gill isn't so sure. Edwards would have to get a presidential pardon to run for governor -- unless he wants to wait until he's 99, Gill says. But even Edwards' many supporters should probably hope he doesn't get that, because there's no real chance he can win, Gill says.
DEC 6 Here's an interesting post on DIG Magazine for football history buffs. It's about the Pelican Bowl, the Bayou Classic and the history of black college football. It's a trip down memory lane and the story of a "mythical black college national crown." What killed it? Trying to compete with the Bayou Classic.
DEC 6 Nelson Mandela became famous while sitting in prison, where he was a symbol of apartheid. But his enduring legacy was his ability to forgive, to reach out a hand of peace to heal his country of division and oppression, and the Picayune talks about this aspect of his personality. The story also reminds us of the more light-hearted moments Louisiana shared with the former President of South Africa.
DEC 6 We've all been passed by a nut on the highway and assumed the driver was on drugs. Maybe that's not hyperbole: here's a story from the Picayune about a guy riding around with a meth lab in his back seat. One wonders if his insurance policy included coverage for random explosions.
DEC 6 Here's a new blog in the NOLA Defender; it's called Shift Change, and it's all about cocktails. This installment by Rhiannon Enlil focuses on the sazerac, the enigmatic cocktail made with absinthe. But Enlil also introduces herself, a long-time NOLA bartender who has "a lot of booze" in her house.

Senators expect immigration legislation this week
Rubio signals no final agreement yet
Members of the bipartisan Gang of Eight senators working out immigration overhaul legislation said Sunday they expect to have a draft bill agreeable to their circle by the end of this week. But Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, a member of the group, issued a statement saying it was too soon to consider the deal struck.
"I'm encouraged by reports of an agreement between business groups and unions on the issue of guest workers. However, reports that the bipartisan group of eight senators have agreed on a legislative proposal are premature," he wrote.
Shortly after that statement was released, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, signaled on CNN's "State of the Union with Candy Crowley" that the deal will be reached within days.
"It's got to be written up. We haven't signed off," he said. "There are a few details yet, but conceptual - we have an agreement between business and labor, between ourselves. It has to be drafted. It will be rolled out next week."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, concurred on the timeline and but acknowledged a few issues remained to be settled.
"As Sen. Rubio correctly says, we have said we will not come to final agreement until we look at all of the legislative language, and he's correctly pointing out that that language hasn't been fully drafted. There will be little kerfuffles, but I don't think any of us expect there to be problems," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, also sounded optimistic a deal would be reached but said on NBC, "We've still got a ways to go with the language."
Both Schumer and Rubio are seen as particularly important in this process, with Schumer the Democratic deal-maker who is bringing the sides together and Rubio key to bringing on board conservative members of both the House and Senate.
Schumer said any difference between his view and Rubio's view of progress toward a deal is just "semantics."
"I don't think he'll walk away," Schumer said when asked, adding, "He's had a lot of input into the bill. Obviously his views are not the same as the other seven of us. Every one of us has different views. ... He is protecting some of the things that he thinks are very important in the bill, but I don't think that will stand in the way in any way of any agreement."
On Saturday, leaders of labor and business groups reached consensus on the outlines of a guest worker program - a sticking point in the area of immigration between influential lobbies including the AFL-CIO and Chamber of Commerce - a source familiar with those talks told CNN.
The consent of business and labor groups is important not only because it means neither side will fight the bill, but also because a key goal of the Gang of Eight is to restructure the current system for allocating U.S. visas. Graham said on CNN that the Gang of Eight would propose legislation that prioritizes visas for business purposes over visas for family members, as well as preventing a future wave of illegal immigration once the path to citizenship is implemented for those currently undocumented and in the U.S.
Schumer said with those groups in agreement, "every major policy issue has been resolved on the Gang of Eight," meaning a deal would emerge this week, followed by "extensive markup and debate on the bill in April (in the Senate Judiciary Committee) and then we go to the floor, God willing, in May. I think we're on track."
After a series of legislative backroom deals on fiscal matters, Rubio underlined with his statement the importance of bringing this deal through what members call "regular order," the process of amending draft legislation in committee, on the floor, and eventually a meeting of the two houses to reconcile any differences.
"We will need a healthy public debate that includes committee hearings and the opportunity for other senators to improve our legislation with their own amendments," Rubio wrote. "Eight senators from seven states have worked on this bill to serve as a starting point for discussion about fixing our broken immigration system. But arriving at a final product will require it to be properly submitted for the American people's consideration, through the other 92 senators from 43 states that weren't part of this initial drafting process.
"In order to succeed, this process cannot be rushed or done in secret," he wrote.
In addition to Rubio, Graham, Schumer and Flake, the Gang of Eight includes Sens. Michael Bennet, D-Colorado; Dick Durbin, D-Illinois; John McCain, R-Arizona; and Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey.
President Barack Obama has described immigration as a top priority of his, but appears to have left the negotiating largely up to Capitol Hill, especially after a draft administration plan for immigration reform was reported publicly and drew criticism from Republicans, including Rubio.
A White House official said Saturday the president "continues to be encouraged by progress being made by the bipartisan group of senators."
"We look forward to seeing language once it is introduced, and expect legislation to move forward as soon as possible," the official said.

PEX Tubing |
PEX Tubing is widely used to replace copper in plumbing applications. Typically, red PEX tubing is used for hot water while blue PEX tubing is used for cold water.
PEX Tubing is the fastest growing trend in the plumbing industry. Instead of copper pipes that are expensive to purchase, expensive to install, and require rigid corners and complicated connections, PEX Tubing is flexible, inexpensive, and easy to install. If you aren't sure which PEX Tubing is right for you, read through the FAQs or view some of the comparison charts to see the different attributes of each kind of PEX.
Our experts are always available M-F 8:30-5 at
There are now over twenty different brands of PEX tubing for plumbing available in the US today. The main distinguishing characteristic that separates one brand of PEX from another is whether it is PEX-a, PEX-b, or PEX-c. PEX-a is the highest quality tubing available on the market today. PEX-a is the most freeze- and kink-resistant, and it is also the most flexible. AquaPEX tubing is the only PEX-a tubing available for plumbing systems, and is the only tubing that can be used with the ProPEX expander system. The other major manufacturers such as Watts, Viega, and HydroPEX are PEX-b products. These are still good products and will work well for plumbing applications. All of the PEX tubing products sold on PexSupply.com have at least a 20 year warranty.
The different colors of PEX are used to signify hot and cold lines in a plumbing system. Red is generally used for hot lines, and blue is used for cold lines. White PEX tubing is used as well for either hot or cold lines. The only difference between the tubing is the color; otherwise it is exactly the same in terms of material, quality, and price.
1/2" PEX is the most common size tubing used to run to faucets and fixtures. 1/2" PEX has a greater flow rate than 1/2" copper, which has been traditionally used to run to faucets and fixtures. Therefore, 3/8" tubing may also be used to achieve a similar flow rate for replacing 1/2" copper. For products that require a large flow rate, larger tubing may be required.
The main fitting systems such as crimp and expander offer special fittings to connect directly to your faucets and toilets. The faucet connector goes directly from PEX to a 1/2" faucet connection. The toilet connector connects 1/2" PEX to a 7/8" toilet connection.
As the chart available in this help section illustrates, all types of tubing may be used with the crimp, clamp, press, or compression fitting systems. However, only AquaPEX can be used with the Wirsbo Expander System.

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing is an alternative to traditional copper pipe in plumbing applications. PEX tubing is available in three standard colors: red, blue, and white. PEX is color coded to distinguish hot and cold lines from a supply line when looking at a manifold. Red PEX tubing identifies the hot water line, while blue PEX tubing is used for cold water. Red and blue PEX have identical physical properties except the color that differentiates them. The most common size used in PEX plumbing applications is 1/2", however sizes are available from 1/4" to 3".
PEX tubing for plumbing applications does not require the oxygen barrier commonly found in PEX used in heating applications. Since there is a constant supply of fresh water from a water main, oxygen molecules will always be present in the system. Therefore, there is no need for the oxygen barrier.
Pre-sleeved Uponor (Wirsbo) AquaPEX tubing is used in hot and cold water distribution systems for outdoor installations. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) ridged sleeve provides protection for installations in concrete or soil. Easy removal and replacement of the tubing is made possible with this additional sleeve.
Pre-Insulated AquaPEX Tubing can be used in either residential or commercial plumbing applications. 1/2" PEX-foam insulation provides a flexible, durable, corrosion-resistant option for insulating potable-water lines.
PexSupply.com offers several types of non-barrier PEX including Rifeng, Uponor (Wirsbo) AquaPEX, ViegaPEX, and SharkBiteTubing.

In 1980, Shawn Stussy was a local cult surfboard shaper who took his scrawled signature logo from his foam masterpieces and applied it to tee shirts that he sold along with his boards around Laguna Beach, California. As the STUSSY clothing line expanded, it's raw and modern aesthetic soon developed into the next generation of new wave beach culture. They grew during a time when epochal shifts which eternally framed contemporary popular culture were taking place. Today, STUSSY exists as a brand with worldwide respect and independence. With over sixty stores across the globe and a very strong tribe still in effect, STUSSY is a leader in the culture which we helped start over 25 years ago.�
