Have you come to this site seeking information About Solar Panels? Solar technology? Photovoltaics? (PDF)
What follows is basic history about solar panels and information to help you know what solar panels to buy. Solar Panels: Harvesting the Energy from our Sun In 1839, a nineteen year-old French physicist named Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel discovered the operating principle of the solar cell, known as the photovoltaic effect. It wasn't until 1876 that this effect materialized into a viable method of producing electricity with the work of William Grylls Adams. He discovered that by illuminating a junction between selenium and platinum, a photovoltaic effect occurs; electricity could now be produced without moving parts. Revolutionary as they may have been, the selenium solar cells were not efficient enough to power electrical equipment. That ability occurred in 1953 when a Bell Laboratories employee Gerald Pearson had the bright idea of making a solar cell with silicon instead of selenium. The New York Times heralded the discovery as "The beginning of a new era, leading eventually to the realization of harnessing the almost limitless energy of the sun for the uses of civilization". Just in time for the space race, the first solar panels made their debut in the satellite industry. Vanguard I, the first solar-powered satellite celebrated its 53rd birthday this year, setting mileage records and holding the title of being the oldest artificial satellite still in orbit. The first solar modules were only efficient enough for space applications, where the Sun's radiation is much stronger. Eventually satellite research paved the way for Earth-based technology. The 1990's were pivotal years for photovoltaic technology. Innovations in solar cells allowed for greater efficiency while lowering the cost of production. Germany and Japan led the way with long-term solar power incentive programs helping lower the cost to the public, and spurring the growth of a robust Photovoltaic industry in both countries. California Leads the Nation How Solar Panels work Since the flow of electrical current is going in one direction, like a battery, the electricity generated is called direct current (DC). Sunlight conversion rates are typically in the 5 to 18 percent range, with some laboratory experiments reaching efficiencies as high as 30 percent. Future possibilities include the development of multi-junction solar cells that are capable of harnessing a wider bandwidth of useable light. We are still considered to be in the "early" stages of solar cell technology. Solar Panel Components Equipment that converts the power from DC to AC is known as an solar inverter, and they come in a few varieties, modified sine wave or pure sine wave. They are further classified based on which type of system it is to be used in, whether it is off-grid or grid interconnected. Recently the innovation of micro inverters has greatly simplified installations, and makes it easy to add on panels to an installation. Each solar module is paired with its own micro inverter, which then coverts the power directly at the panel. For off grid installations the use of a charge controller is necessary to properly manage the power harvest, charge the batteries, and prevent overcharging. The greatest innovation in charge controllers would have to be the relatively new feature called maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This innovative method of charging batteries constantly monitors peak power voltage from the array and input voltage on the batteries adjusting amperage to compensate for the fluctuations. This provides the most efficient means to manage the power harvest. The function of MPPT charge controllers is analogous to the transmission of a car, keeping your charging system in the "right gear". Other components of the solar system would include the wiring and mounting hardware, while some installations use a tracker that changes its tilt angle and direction throughout the day. Types of Solar Panels Poly-crystalline panels are composed of many crystallites of varying size and orientation. These multi-crystalline panels are generally less expensive and slightly less efficient than mono-crystalline modules, yet lately the difference in efficiency is very small. Like their mono-crystalline counterpart, the cells are also cut into wafers that make up the individual cells of a solar panel. Amorphous solar panels use the non-crystalline, allotropic form of silicon, in which a thin layer of this silicon substrate is applied to the back of a plate of glass. These panels are much cheaper and less energy efficient, yet they are more versatile in how they can be used. For example, amorphous solar panels can be manufactured into long sheets of roofing material. Thin Film solar panels also fall into the amorphous category. This type of cells can be mounted on a flexible backing, making them more suited for mobile applications. Each of the solar panel types is estimated to last at least twenty-five years. Instead of stopping production completely, electricity production will decline a little, gradually, over decades. The longevity of a solar panel refers to the number of years before the unit starts producing only 80 percent of its original power rating. The industry standard for warranties is 20 to 25 years, although it is not uncommon for panels to produce adequate power for over 30 years. Off Grid versus Grid tied You can eliminate the cost of batteries by going with a system that connects right into your home's main junction box and use the grid as your power source at night or on long stretches of inclement weather. These installations are known as grid-tied or grid-interconnected systems. This version of solar system enables you to sell any excess power you produce back to the utility companies who have chosen to support "net metering". Once you are signed up on a net metering program, your utility company will have a smart meter installed known as a Time of Use Meter, which will actually run backwards when you are producing excess power. It is wise to keep in mind that Grid tied systems without a battery backup, are only functional when the grid is operational. Due to anti-islanding features on grid tied inverters, which protect utility workers from working on a live line, grid-tied systems without a battery back up will not continue to produce power during a power outage regardless of whether you have sunshine or not. Since solar panels produce DC, or direct current, they must be coupled with a solar inverter to convert the energy from DC to AC, or alternating current. In a grid tied system this can be done by a large central inverter, or each solar panel can be outfitted with its own micro inverter. Once the power is converted to alternating current and its phase is synchronized with that of the grid, it is then tied in to your main junction box, which is ultimately interconnected to the national grid. |

Sticking points in fiscal cliff talks
Sides have moved some, but still no deal
The key figures involved in fiscal cliff talks have released few details about negotiations since they restarted Sunday afternoon. But we do have a clearer snapshot of the major points of debate before Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell took over negotiations on Sunday. CNN's Capitol Hill team collected this information from sources and lawmakers involved in and briefed on negotiations up to that point.
-- Income tax rates: Over the weekend, Democrats raised their threshold for tax increases to $450,000 in family income ($400,000 for individuals), a Democratic source tells CNN's Dana Bash. Party leaders had started talks at the $250,000 level, with President Barack Obama at one point offering $400,000 as part of a larger deal. Senator Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, told CNN on Sunday that leaders were discussing a permanent, not temporary, extension of most tax rates. It's unclear how that relates to possible tax reform in the future.
-- Estate tax: This has been a significant point of discussion, senators from both parties confirmed Sunday. Republicans would like to extend the current estate tax, which has a top rate of 35% and affects estates worth more than $5 million. With no action, that will shift to a top tax rate of 55% and would hit estates worth more than $1 million.
Democrats have said they are discussing the issue as part of negotiations, but stress that they consider this a tax gain for the wealthy. A possible compromise could be the 2009 estate tax rates, which set the top rate at 45% and exempted estates up to $3.5 million. Several senators mentioned the 2009 rates on Sunday, but stressed that they are not directly involved in talks and were not sure whether negotiators were focused on those numbers.
-- Capital gains tax rate: On Saturday, the two sides traded offers to create a 20% capital gains tax rate for higher incomes, Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, separately told CNN, while lower incomes would keep the current 15% rate. But, the senators said, the two sides had not agreed on the income level that would trigger the higher taxes. Snowe said $250,000 was one level discussed. If Congress doesn't act, the current capital gains rate of 15% will automatically go up to 20% for all investors.
-- AMT patch: leadership and Senate sources on both sides told CNN that negotiators went back and forth over whether to do a short-term or permanent fix for the Alternative Minimum Tax, which would otherwise hit an estimated 30 million additional taxpayers. The patch is expensive either way, cutting revenue roughly $92 billion for one year or more than $900 billion for 10 years, according to the Congressional Research Service.
-- Unemployment benefits and Medicare doctors: As of Sunday afternoon, negotiators had not yet determined how to deal with these twin extensions, including how or whether to offset the costs. Extending unemployment benefits for a year would cost $30 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The agency says averting a Medicare pay cut would mean $25 billion.
Durbin said that at one point Republicans had suggested paying for the one-year extensions with savings from switching to the "chained CPI" as a measure of cost of living. Democrats balked at the idea, in part because they would be agreeing to a permanent benefit cut (from the new CPI) in exchange for temporary, one-year benefits extensions. On Sunday, Senate Republicans told reporters that the chained CPI was no longer on the table in these talks, adding to questions about funding for the unemployment and Medicare doctor fixes.
-- Sequester: CNN learned on Sunday from Democratic and Republican senators that Democrats at one point suggested postponing or delaying the sequester for one or two years. Republicans exiting their caucus meeting Sunday afternoon, including Snowe and Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee indicated the idea was a non-starter with their party, largely out of fear that the sequester delay would not be offset and would add to the deficit.

Our neon green Survival Braid Survival Bracelet is a customer favorite, particularly among the younger male crowd. Why wear rubber bands or dated concert/festival admission bracelets when you can wear a Survival Braid?
Surviving never looked so awesome. Whether you are considering a Survival Braid Survival Bracelet for an extra layer of security "just-in-case" or you just think they look cool, we have the Survival Braid to suit your needs!
Each small bracelet (6.5" - 7.5") contains 7-9 feet of paracord and each regular sized bracelet (7.5 - 8.5�) contain between 10-12 feet of paracord!
Survival Braid uses only top quality 550 paracord manufactured by a certified military contractor.
Our paracord is tested to withstand 550 lbs of force!
Survival Braid is ideal for camping, boating, hunting, hiking or in any survival situation where great strength and durability is required.
They look really cool!

550 paracord gear. Designed and made in the USA, 550 paracord gear looks cool and is designed to unwind for use in an emergency situation. Bracelets, belts, keychains, DIY bracelet kits, dog collars and dozens of other items are available including bulk 550 paracord. Survival Braid gear is also available in custom colors and even personalized, perfect for fundraisers, events or your local schools. Wear, unwind, survive!
What is paracord and why make things out of it? Paracord is super strong, durable, moisture resistant, and versatile. It is made of essentially 8 pieces. It has an outer sheath and 7 braided inner strands. That's why it's so strong. our paracord is nylong so it won't mildew or rot. It is so versatile in that lets say you have a bracelet that's made out of 7 feet of paracord. You then have 7 feet of the outder sheath as well as 7 feet each of the 7 inner strands. If you pull it all apart (and that is so easy to do) you have 56 feet of material to work with. That is amazing! there's nothing like paracord. You can use it for clothing repairs, shoelace repairs, shelter building, fire starting, a saw, catching food, medical emergencies, automoble fix, rapelling, crafts, weapons and so much more.
This is a great time to take advantage of this special sale on our own line of SurvivalBraid paracord gear! These low prices are especially exceptional because this paracord gear is 100% U.S. Made!
What is
? We have been selling paracord for years and have been selling paracord products for a little less time. We decided a while back that we wanted more control over the quality, consistancy, availability and prices of these products. After some research we decided to come out with our own brand of paracord products and SurvivalBraid was born. They'r emade right here in the U.S.A. right down the road in from our warehouse here in NY. We're very proud of our new brand and are sure you'll find these fine products to be the best out there.
Thank you for your business,
Tom Sciacca

General Comments: Futures closed lower. Good arrivals in Africa are negative and are continuing. Ivory Coast arrivals are strong, and the trend for strong arrivals from there should continue. However, arrivals from other West African countries are starting to move lower. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Overall weather patterns in West Africa production areas are good for harvest progress. Demand is reported weaker from the US and Europe, in part due to current economics and in part due to changes forced by the World Bank that encouraged forward marketing of the crops. Traders are starting to look ahead and past the midcrop harvest and note that the market could move to a production déficit next year. Ivory Cost growing conditions are reported good right now as the Harmattan winds are subsiding without causing any real damage to crops. Some showers have been reported as well. The better weather is needed as it was too dry last year.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in West Africa, but some showers ar expecte. Temperatures will average mostly above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of scattered showers, but Malaysia will be drier this weekend. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get scattered showers and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 3.754 million bags. LIFFE stocks are 2,642 standard lots, 146 large lots, and 3 bulk lots.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are down with objectives of 2175 and 2100 March. Support is at 2155, 2145, and 2115 March, with resistance at 2230, 2250, and 2275 March. Trends in London are mixed to down with objectives of 1425 March. Support is at 1425, 1410, and 1405 March, with resistance at 1455, 1465, and 1480 March.
General Comments: Futures were higher as speculators contemplated less planted area next year and also expected a strong export sales report this morning. Bull spreads were featured once again as the market tries to find some Cotton. Those looking for Cotton are having a tough time as supplies do not seem to be out there, or at least are not available to the market. Export sales have been strong for the last month to six weeks, and strong sales are expected to continue after the failed Chinese government auction a week ago. Buyers there said that the government wanted high prices for inferior Cotton and that they would continue to import even with higher taxes. The current low prices are bringing into question what farmers in Texas and the Delta and Southeast will plant this year. Some are wondering if planted area might be lower this year here in the US due to weak prices against competing crops. The area lost would go mostly to Corn and Soybeans. Current weather features some precipitation in Delta and Southeast areas, but western Texas was mostly dry. Delta areas will turn dry this week. Ideas are that the market can continue to work higher overall.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see mostly dry conditions, although a few showers are possible early next week. Temperatures will average near to above normal, then above to much above normal starting on Sunday. Texas will get dry weather this week and a shower this weekend. Temperatures will average near to above normal this weekend and above to much above normal next week. The USDA spot price is now 77.42 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.110 million bales, from 0.108 million yesterday. USDA said that net Upland Cotton export sales were 213,700 bales this year and 29,700 bales next year. Net Pima sales were 20,700 bales this year and 0 bales next year.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are up with objectives of 9100 March. Support is at 80.55, 79.90, and 78.00 March, with resistance of 84.00, 85.25, and 87.00 March.
Next page: Orange Juice, Sugar and Coffee
General Comments: Futures closed lower on what appeared to be speculative selling. Weather remains good in Florida, although more rain would be beneficial. Temperatures remain mild in the state, and conditions are mostly dry. Forecasts call for mostly dry conditions and mild temperatures to continue. Fruit is holding for now, and irrigation is being used by producers to hold crop condition. Harvest in Florida of mid and early oranges is continuing. Demand for domestically produced Juice remains down from last year. Weather in Brazil is reported to be good. Brazil is seeing normal temperatures and light showers or dry conditions. Better showers are likely this weekend. Harvest is continuing, so an increase in supplies should be expected at this time of year.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed to up with objectives of 119.00 and 125.00 March. Support is at 113.50, 110.00, and 109.00 March, with resistance at 118.00, 122.00, and 126.00 March.
General Comments: Futures were lower as funds and other speculators returned to sell for new positions. Trends turned down for the short term Tuesday, but prices remain in the recent trading range longer term. However, futures could drop more this week if more speculative selling shows up. Current crop development is good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting beneficial rain for the developing crop. Central America crops are mostly harvested. There are widespread reports of rust on the trees and leaves, and Roya has become a big issue as well. It is possible that many Central America and Mexico producers will harvest much less Coffee next year if they are affected by this disease, and many seem to be affected. Crops in Central America will see some significant losses due to Roya next year, and some yields have been impacted this year. Yield losses could be 30% or more. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.615 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 132.98 ct/lb. Brazil should get mostly dry conditions this week and scattered showers and storms this weekend and into next week. Temperatures will average near normal. Colombia should get mostly dry conditions, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to above normal. LIFFE stocks are now 10,553 lots.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to down with objectives of 140.00 March. Support is at 145.50, 142.50, and 141.00 March, and resistance is at 151.50, 154.50, and 158.00 March. Trends in London are mixed to down with objectives of 1935 and 1910 March. Support is at 1930, 1905, and 1900 March, and resistance is at 1965, 1980, and 1985 March. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed. Support is at 183.00, 182.00, and 179.50 March, and resistance is at 187.00, 190.00, and 193.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed mostly a little lower in consolidation trading. Most traders still note that big supplies appear to be available to the market. Demand is there, but not in big amounts as most buyers are not worried about prices. Most statistical organizations continue to look for a big surplus production for the year. Production has been strong in Brazil so far this year, and reports say that the new crop production looks to be strong as well. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong after the delayed start to the program. Futures trends are down. Big Brazil production remains negative to prices, and traders know that Indian and Thai production is in the market, too. The Thai crushing season is underway with good production expected, but the crushing pace remains slow. Traders wonder if and when India will cut offers to the market due to the lower prices and perhaps less than expected production due to some dry weather at the beginning of the growing season.
Overnight News: Scattered and light showers are expected in Brazil this weekend. Temperatures should be near normal. China said it will sell 300,000 tons of Sugar from state reserves this weekend.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1830, 1800, and 1770 March, and resistance is at 1860, 1885, and 1905 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 480.00, 475.00, and 470.00 March, and resistance is at 495.00, 496.00, and 501.00 March.

Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Temporal Layering, Newport Beach, California 1982 Laurie Brown, American, born 1937 Dye destruction print Currently not on view 2000-101-4 Gift of the artist in honor of Katherine Ware, 2000 |
LabelBrown's panoramic photographs of plowed earth appear as barren as an uninhabited planet but they are actually construction sites along the coast of southern California. The scale of these vast, empty vistas inspired the artist to combine multiple images, a device that expands our view of the scene while also disrupting it. The photographs reveal the harshness of a landscape stripped bare by human intervention, yet Brown's titles are poetic and her compositions celebrate the stark formal contrast of earth and sky. Her use of the dye destruction process-with its sparkling, saturated color-gives maximum impact to her limited tonal palette and is another clue to her appreciation of the ambivalence of destruction and construction in these places."What is interesting to me is the tension between the social, technological devastation of the land and the elemental, mythical, heroic aspects of it," Brown said in conversation in 2000. "You can see both of those things in these sites." |

Children have a ball on Norwegian Gem. The hub of the line's "Splash Academy" program is Deck 12's Tree Tops Kids Club (conveniently close to the Garden Cafe buffet). Children are separated into four groups for scheduled activities: Guppies (6 months to 3 years, with parent), Turtles (3 - 5), Seals (6 - 9) and Dolphins (10 - 12).
All groups feature age-appropriate activities. For instance, Turtles might participate in activities that draw from Nickelodeon characters like Dora the Explorer (Dora's Dance Party). There's family LEGO-building, crafts and traditional fun stuff like "duck, duck, goose" and "musical chairs." Seals might take part in more recreational play, with games like dodgeball, soccer, Astroball and Nintendo Wii, but it also incorporates more learning-oriented activities like rocket science programs and environmental "fun."
Teens have their own dedicated space, the Leopard Lounge (open until 1 a.m.), but activities take place all over the ship. There might be a "make a pizza" cooking lesson at La Cucina, the ship's Italian restaurant, or bowling at the Bliss Lounge. There's could also be a "murder mystery dinner," air hockey tournaments and a "hot tub social." Much of the program really gives the kids time to hang out, and in the evenings, they bring their iPods to the Leopard Lounge and download music to dance to. The facility has Wii, Playstation, foosball and air hockey. In the evenings, a bar serves up for-fee nonalcoholic beverages.
The younger kids have their own dining area in the Garden Cafe with a small buffet of child-friendly favorites. (See the Dining section.)
A Deck 12 arcade offers the usual games.
Partner Nickelodeon, aboard Gem since February 2012 (also on Jewel, Epic and Breakaway), hosts interactive games, dance parties and other activities like a (for-fee) character breakfast.
Norwegian does not charge young passengers to participate in its program on sea days. However, on days when the ship is in port, the cost for kids, ages 2 to 12, to stay onboard in the program is $6 per hour for the first child and $4 for each additional child. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Evening group baby-sitting is also available at the same rates from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Fellow Passengers
Passengers are predominately from the U.S. and Canada. The average age varies; on longer cruises, the ship appeals to older passengers. On seven-night trips during school holiday seasons, it's dominated by families.
Dress Code
Just about anything goes, wardrobe-wise, with most passengers wearing casual, poolside garb during the day and resort casual-style clothing -- including jeans -- at night. (Shorts and tank tops are only permitted in the Garden Cafe and Blue Lagoon after hours.) Grand Pacific is the ship's dress-up restaurant in the evenings.
Passengers are charged $12 per person, per day (including kids ages 3 and up). A 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to orders for drinks (from sodas and juices to bottles of wine and cocktails). The Yin & Yang Spa automatically adds an 18 percent tip on all spa and salon services and, oddly enough, on fitness programs at its Body Waves facility. There's no gratuity expected to counselors of the kids programs, but tips are gratefully accepted. (Aim for about $3 per day, per child.) Passengers in suites that come with butlers tip at their own discretion. (Plan to pay $3 to $5 per day, per person -- more if you made a lot of extra requests.)
The onboard currency is the U.S. dollar.
Norwegian Gem's entertainment (like that on other NCL ships) is superb, particularly during the evening hours. Activities were head-spinning in their range and quantity. Vocalists strumming guitars or tickling piano keys are mainstays in smaller venues like Magnum's Champagne Bar and the Crystal Atrium. Each night, there's a jazz jam in various venues. Passengers who want to dance head up to Deck 13's Spinnaker Lounge. There's the occasional evening bingo game and movies, shown on the vast video screen in the Crystal Atrium.
These are just the activities that warm up passengers for the big events. Superb performances of music revues in the three-deck-high Stardust Theater include "World Beat," described as a musical round-the-world voyage, and "Get Down Tonight," a 1970's-era musical tribute. The hypnotist who performed on several evenings was anything but lame; she proved to skeptics that there's an art to it in a show that was both funny and sort of terrifying. Passengers can also fill their evenings by attending a magic show, pub crawl, Karaoke and a Bee Gees revue. Productions by the Second City comedy troupe are a mainstay aboard Gem; be sure to check out "Presumed Murder," the whodunit improv luncheon created by the comedy team and crime novelist Scott Turow.
Easily the highlight for adults was The Quest, a sort of scavenger hunt in which passengers paired up in a handful of groups and then were required to secure various items in order to win. The prize was meaningless; it was all about the competition to be first and get the biggest laughs from the audience. (Items to bring back included men walking around with a pair of bras on their heads, house keys, business cards and belts.) This is an adult show, held well after dinner hours, and I was dismayed at how many parents allowed their kids to attend.
Another much-anticipated event each cruise is the ship's White Hot Party, with all waiters dressed in white and the Spinnaker Lounge redecorated with white canvas and table coverings. On our spring break cruise, the many families and younger cruisers onboard gave the event a 20-something party vibe -- and this 40-something felt old, old, old!
The generously sized Gem Casino has table games, video betting and slots. Gamblers can also use video screens in Spinnaker and poolside to bet.
Outfitted in purple and red felt, with plush lounge chairs at every turn, the Bliss Ultra Club is a hybrid bar and bowling alley with the feel of a shag-a-delic 1970's club.
At Bar Central, on Deck 6, three specialized bars sit side-by-side to create one large watering hole. The large room is divided into three sections with different upscale feels: Magnum's, the Champagne and wine bar with an early 1900's lounge look; Shakers Martini & Cocktail Bar, an angular Art Deco bar that aims to look like a 1960's throwback; and Maltings, the no pretenses beer and whiskey joint in varying hues of brown.
Norwegian's enrichment program is primarily focused around food and drink -- for instance, separate events centered on pairing different foods with sake, beer and wine. And, of course, the ship offers the typical brain-teaser events from trivia games to Sudoku challenges, free bowling hours, gaming lessons, fitness boot camps and unique events like "Guess the Price of the Picasso" on the Promenade.
Once in port, Gem has an impressive array of shore excursions available. As is the freestyle way, activities at each stop catered to just about everyone, ranging from those seeking active pursuits to those looking for something more laid-back.
Public Rooms
Norwegian Gem's focal point is its three-story Crystal Atrium with its vast video screen -- which hosts occasional Wii tournaments -- a coffee bar (that also serves cocktails) and lots of squishy-squashy velvet-covered chairs and sofas. The purser's desk and the shore excursion counter are located there, as is an all-glass boutique that sells perfumes and cosmetics.
The ship's Internet cafe is located in the atrium and features nine terminals. The rate is a pretty pricey 75 cents per minute, though packages for heavier users are available.
Tucked away up on Deck 12 is the ship's well-stocked library. There's not much that's really recent, but there's plenty of choice if you're looking for something to read. There's also a card room next door.
A lengthy photo gallery leads from the Grand Pacific dining room to the Crystal Atrium; on the opposite side is the ship's art gallery. A nondenominational chapel is available for passenger-organized services. (There's no clergy onboard.)
A medical center is located on Deck 4.
There's no self-serve laundry center, but the ship does offer various paid laundry and dry-cleaning options.
Norwegian Gem's 13 dining venues offer open seating, flexible hours and excellent service -- you won't find assigned dining times and set tablemates here. Passengers can check the availability at ship restaurants on plasma TV's located throughout the ship. If restaurants are booked up for certain times, the screen lists alternative reservation suggestions. You can also make reservations in advance once onboard. It's best to book early at the steakhouse and other smaller restaurants, especially for large parties. Cancellations within 24 hours of a reservation result in forfeiture of the surcharge.
Complimentary hot tea, coffee, iced tea and ice water are served with meals; soft drinks, bottled water and alcoholic beverages are available at an additional charge.
Grand Pacific and Magenta, the two main restaurants, share dinner menus with specials that change daily, while Grand Pacific strikes out on its own for lunch. The menu generally sticks to classic American, with an occasional foray into the adventurous. (Think Vietnamese summer rolls or the daily "regional specialty".) During lunchtime at the Grand Pacific, seating is easy to come by, and even the two-person tables overlooking the ocean are easily accessible. But, if you want to snag one of the romantic spots for dinner, your best bet is to dine early, because those tables are the first to go. Large, classic, nautical paintings and maps tile the ceiling and walls in this elegant room.
Lined with contemporary paintings and outfitted with upholstered vermilion chairs, Magenta is decidedly courtlier than its sister dining room. Only open for dinner, the dining room sits roughly half (306) of what the Grand Pacific packs in (558). Although this is the second-largest dining venue on the ship, it's absent the wide-open layout that can make the Grand Pacific seem like a bit of a free-for-all and has a decidedly more intimate atmosphere.
Blue Lagoon is a something-for-everyone joint. Diner fixin's like burgers, fish 'n' chips and stir-fry are served up in a comely setting, 24/7. There's grub available whether you've got a hankering around brunchtime or an adrenaline-fueled post-roulette victory craving for that perfect something greasy to prove you're unstoppable, even in the early morning hours.
Garden Cafe and the Great Outdoors -- dual indoor and outdoor buffets -- are good for a quick bite nearly all day long. Looking for some ethnic/specialty fare but don't want to fork over extra dough for one of the specialty restaurants? These all-you-can-eat venues offer a smorgasbord of unique -- albeit considerably less refined -- dishes; think Moroccan cous cous, glazed pork, pasta and barbecue. Self-serve coffee and ice cream help wash down just about any over-indulgence a buffet might solicit.
For pint-sized Garden Cafe customers, there's also the Kid's Cafe section with classic favorites, including French fries, hot dogs and mac 'n' cheese -- no spinach in sight. A flat-screen TV shows cartoons like "Tom and Jerry" to keep wee diners entertained.
Enjoy chili con carne, stir-fried veggies or grilled sausage with a front row view of the waterslide at Bali Hai Bar and Grill. The kid-friendly hot air balloon-themed buffet overlooks the Tahitian pool and its dozens of lounging sunbathers.
Cagney's Steakhouse ($25 cover charge), located way up on Deck 13 and named for the classic gangster movie star, is gaudy in a 1930's Dick Tracy way; it sports wide yellow-leather seats, a glossy wood paneling and a wall-to-wall abstract cityscape. The menu includes filet mignon, strip loin, New York cut, rib eye, prime rib and T-bone steaks, as well as double cut lamb chops, salmon and chicken. The steakhouse's signature cocktail, the "Speakeasy Martini," combines Southern Comfort, apricot brandy, Grand Marnier and sparkling wine.
The Orchid Garden Asian restaurant ($15 cover charge), an Asian fusion complex, offers starters like vegetable dumplings and pork spare ribs, followed by Chinese chicken salad or hot and sour soup, and entrees like Cantonese scallops with snow peas, moo shoo pork and stir-fried lobster. Save room for the flight of Oriental creme brulees and five-spice chocolate cake.
For the ol' chef-as-entertainer schtick, Teppanyaki (cover charge $25) -- located inside the Orchid Garden -- is a hard-to-get treat with only 32 spots at four tables. Gathered around a large rectangular iron griddle, eager eaters watch as onions, eggs, shrimp and steak are lit ablaze, tossed through the air and, ultimately, turned into flavorful meals by chefs standing right in front of them. Entrees include combinations of chicken, beef and seafood (including lobster) served with miso soup, ginza salad, vegetables and garlic fried rice. Entrees are followed by ice cream or fresh fruit. California and New York rolls, barbecued eel and flying fish roe are among the selections at the Sushi Bar ($15 for all you can eat), also located within the Orchid Garden complex.
NCL's signature French restaurant, Le Bistro ($20 cover charge), is still among the most popular offerings. The service is especially attentive and the food presentation memorable. Chef's specialties include
Les Quatres Cornets
, four pastry cones with savory fillings like duck confit and smoked chicken salad;
Filet de Porc Au Romarin
, rosemary roasted pork tenderloin with glazed apples and cream; and the classic French braised chicken dish,
Coq au Vin
. Don't miss the decadent chocolate fondue with fruit, served in a half-pineapple, and try to catch the jazz brunch served there on sea days ($15).
At the rustic La Cucina ($10), you can create your own pizza or pasta with sauces ranging from traditional (tomato, Alfredo and Bolognese) to haute (shrimp with lemon and basil or smoked salmon with white wine cream and chives).
Moderno Churrascaria ($20) is a Brazilian-style steakhouse that offers a expansive lineup of skewered meat, including lamb chops, filet mignon, sausage and chicken. There's also the obligatory salad bar featuring international cheeses, dried meats, olives and marinated veggies, alongside the traditional salad ingredients. Sides, including mashed potatoes, fried bananas, and rice and beans, are served with the meat.
The hip Java Cafe in the flashy Crystal Atrium brews fabulous coffee drinks -- cappuccino, espresso and frozen coffee -- for a fee, served with delectable pastries.
Surrounded by so many dining venues, it's easy to forget that 24-hour room service is also available (except on the morning of debarkation). From 6:30 a.m. until 10 a.m., you can enjoy continental fare like juice, fresh fruit, muffins and cold cereal. Lunch and dinner options include perennial favorites like chicken Caesar salad, sandwiches and pizza, plus kid-pleasers like hot dogs and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Pizza ($5) can be ordered for delivery to any stateroom, lounge or bar, 24 hours a day, seven days a week; eaters can choose from cheese pies, pepperoni or veggie.
Norwegian Gem Cabin Photos
As you'd expect from a Norwegian ship, Gem offers cabins to suit just about every preference and comfort strata, from interior cabins outfitted with just the basics to an over-the-top "villa" with enough room to host a party with live music.
Despite limited closet space, the inside and outside cabins are none too shabby space-wise (143 and 161 square feet, respectively). A sea blue and coral pink color scheme is very cruise-appropriate; sea-themed artwork, like photos of reefs teeming with fish, remind the windowless of what lies beyond. Beds are well appointed and brightly hued, and the rooms each have enough space for a small desk and wall-mounted flat-screen television. Although bathrooms wouldn't fit a social make-up session, wash areas and showers are large enough to get the job done.
Bathrooms are stocked with travel-sized bars of soap and bottles of shampoo, conditioner and lotion from the Elemis line of hygiene products.
The 204-square-foot balcony rooms feature comfortable walking space, plenty of mirrors and surprisingly roomy bathrooms. Reading lights embedded in the walls directly above the beds are a nice touch, too. The balconies themselves are just large enough for two patio chairs and a small space between for a tray of food or an ice bucket chilling pinot.
Gem has a pretty extensive selection of suites, ranging from those with extra room for couches and larger bathrooms (mini-suites, 285 square feet) to much larger options. Penthouse suites (341-387 square feet and 489-578 square feet) include separate dining areas, queen-size beds, floor-to-ceiling windows, luxury bathrooms with separate bathtubs/showers, powder room areas and large balconies with tables and reclining lounge chairs.
Gem has 27 wheelchair-accessible rooms with options in almost every category, but there are only two accessible suites, a couple of aft-facing penthouses.
Norwegian Gem has Wi-Fi service throughout the ship, and wired Internet is available in rooms, provided you have an Ethernet cable. (There's also an Internet center in the main atrium.) TV programming includes a selection of movies, as well as CNN, TNT, Cartoon Network and ESPN.
There's an old saying in my family that goes something like this: "Oprah is always right." A Norwegian representative told me the queen of all media spent a water-bound sojourn basking in The Haven's three-bedroom Garden Villa on Deck 14, which is centered on a courtyard with a beautiful, Balinese-inspired pool, lounging area and even a private fitness center. And she's right again -- The Haven is really incredible.
The Garden Villa features a separate living and dining room with flat-screen television, mini-grand piano, chandelier, Lavazza coffee maker, dry bar and enormous half-moon sofa. The balcony, though compact, is nicely outfitted with rattan-like chairs with plush cushions. The sumptuous bedroom, tucked away behind purple velvet curtains, overlooks the long bathroom, where the tub is set under a picture window -- bath salts provided. There's a separate shower, a toilet in its own compartment and a double sink.
Most villas are equipped for at least four people via a small, windowless chamber that can sleep two. It comes with a bathroom with shower, drawers, closet and television. A handful of villas don't have the extra bedroom.
Families with as many as four kids can stay together in The Haven's Family Villa (572 square feet), where there are separate master and children's bedrooms, dual bathrooms (the master bathroom is enormous, with a walk-in shower, separate bathtub and two sinks) and ample closet space.
Tucked away in its own cove, complete with an enormous Asian-inspired mural, the dining area in The Haven's Owner's Suite (791-824 square feet) sets the tone for this luxurious living space, complete with two separate balconies and enough room for five to sleep. The master bed is practically smothered in pillows, and the adjoining bathroom includes a huge walk-in closet.
All the way up on Deck 15, the Deluxe Owner's Suite (1,197 square feet) has perhaps the best balcony views of any suite on the ship. It comes with its own outdoor hot tub and an outdoor eating and lounging area. Even the views from the large bathroom windows are impressive, and jars of bath salts on the windowsill are a nice touch.
Owner's Suites, villas and penthouses are part of Norwegian's "ship within a ship" boutique concept, so occupants are entitled to extra services and perks. Cagney's, the ship's evening steakhouse restaurant, is made over for these residents for breakfast and lunch. An on-call concierge can make reservations for dinner, spa appointments and shore excursions; this service particularly alleviates some of the annoying details about sailing on Gem, such as the need to make reservations in advance, particularly when the ship is full. A butler is on tap to provide extra in-cabin services, such as delivering food not just from the regular room service menu, but also from restaurants -- a perk not on offer to other passengers. (You'll still have to pay any restaurant surcharges.)
Fitness and Recreation
The ship's Tahitian-inspired pool area on Deck 12 is vivacious and exuberant with vivid colors and decor. There are two pools and four whirlpools -- a pair of which are adult-only and seemed to stay that way even on my family-oriented voyage. There's also a twisty, corkscrew slide. Lounge chairs, which most definitely were at a premium on sunny days, are made of wicker-like material and have elegant, plush cushions atop. The younger set can chill in the indoor kids pool, with its pint-sized slide and ample padding.
Body Waves, Norwegian Gem's health club, is one of the most comprehensive we've seen at sea. Its main room features treadmills, stationary bikes and StairMasters, all with individual mini-flat-screen televisions. There is the usual array of weight machines, as well as a separate weight room. Also carved out of a separate space is the facility's aerobics studio, which is cordoned off from the noisy fitness area by glass doors. Some classes held there, such as "early morning stretch," "fab abs" and body-conditioning, are fee-free. Other workouts, such as yoga, Pilates and spinning, cost $12 per session, plus an additional 18 percent gratuity. You can buy a package of four Pilates and yoga workouts for $40, which offers a slight discount. Personal training is available; the cost is $85 per session, and a three-session package is $209.
Yin & Yang, the ship's spa, continues the Norwegian tradition of really terrific onboard spa services and facilities. This one, operated by Steiner, as most in the cruise industry are, includes a beauty salon for hair-styling, manicures and pedicures, and also a treatment area for both the usual -- Swedish massage and facials -- and more exotic options, like hot-stone massages and a Quartz life facial with an advanced anti-aging focus. Prices seem a little higher than average; a 50-minute Swedish massage is $119. (On other lines, I've seen prices more commonly in the $99 to $109 range.) Do keep an eye out for port-day specials.
The hottest trend today in onboard treatments is medi-spa services, and Gem's spa has several options, including Botox, Restylane and other types of facial rejuvenation. Treatments are overseen by a licensed medical doctor. The spa also offers teetth-whitening and acupuncture.
Where Yin & Yang excels is in its "chill out" lounge. It's available to those who purchase spa treatments (on the day of visit), but you can also buy a cruise pass to the facility, which includes separate areas for men and women (with small whirlpools, sunbeds looking out to sea, saunas and steam rooms) and a coed central room with a thalassotherapy pool and heated tiled loungers. The cost for a cruise pass is $199 for the length of the cruise. Day passes are $20 per day.
Let's not forget that the Bliss Ultra Club on Deck 7 is more than a bar -- it's also a four-lane bowling alley. Play 10 frames on fairly state-of-the-art lanes (though slightly smaller than those you'll find in on-land facilities); it's a fun way to spend an hour. The cost is $5 per person and that includes bowling shoes (wear your own socks).
The ship has a rock-climbing wall and a sports court -- a full-length basketball court -- that can also be used for volleyball, tennis and soccer. A running track can be found on Deck 13. Other diversions include open Wii play in the Crystal Atrium and Ping-Pong on the pool deck.
Norwegian takes a one-ship-fits-all approach to cruising with Gem, where rock climbing meets shuffleboard and hot-stone massages meet Guitar Hero and chess played with comically large game pieces.
Gem launched in 2007, and on it, Norwegian Cruise Line continues to refine its Freestyle Cruising concept, which focuses on flexibility and a casual atmosphere. On Gem, more than 2,300 passengers enjoy the freedom to dine where, when and with whom they wish (except for when reservations require otherwise). The dress code is relaxed, with an optional formal night for those looking to get all dolled up. In spring 2008, the ship underwent the company's Freestyle 2.0 upgrade program, receiving several enhancements to its menus, new beds throughout and service tweaks at all levels.
If casual is the goal, entertainment is the modus operandi. As passengers board Gem, they're greeted in the main atrium with blaring beats spun by a D.J. whose ruby red turntable is almost as flashy as the glowing space itself. Thirteen bars, an enormous 1,115-seat theater -- featuring Second City and Broadway-esque productions -- and a dozen restaurants keep the ship hopping throughout the trip.
The ship also accommodates those in need of quiet time; from the spacious and serene spa, with armchairs overlooking a vast ocean expanse, to a variety of lounges and a library, there are nooks aplenty for relaxation.
The ability to shift between active and restful, party and calm, at a moment's notice is Norwegian's calling card. With so many options, Gem ensures that you can find time to do what you want onboard -- whatever that may be.

Actor discusses past, future
On the eve of Thursday's emotional "breakup" episode of "Glee," Criss --- who plays the dreamy-eyed and dreamy-voiced Blaine, one half of one half of the show's two power couples --- penned an open letter to his fans on Facebook.
The 25-year-old covered a lot of ground in the note, outlining some of the early successes that laid the foundation for his breakout two years ago. Criss recounted the highlights, from starting work on "A Very Potter Musical" --- the YouTube sensation that gave him his first boost of stardom --- to first hearing about "Glee."
"I have a pretty wild imagination, but I never thought any of that could actually happen, let alone in such a relative short period of time," Criss wrote. "Here's the deal - I work hard, I try to make the right decisions and do the best I can with everything I do and all that good stuff - but really, that can only go so far. There are so many contributing factors to what has happened for me that go far beyond my control ... And that's where you come in."
Acknowledging in advance that Thursday's episode was going to be tough for many, Criss wanted his fans to look on the bright side: With their support, he's gone much further than he thought he would.
"[M]uch of your support has allowed me to be on this show long enough to reach a breakup in the first place; it has created a relationship that people cared enough about whereby it was even worth writing an episode about its potential end," the actor wrote. "I never thought I would get to be around long enough for something like that. And I really have you, the fans to thank for it. It's something to be proud of."
The episode featured Criss performing an acoustic version of "Teenage Dream," "which so many of you have supported since I sang it as my first song on my very first episode. I started playing this version at shows as a sort of 'thank you' to the fans, for making it such a big song for both myself and the show. It was the song that started everything."
As for what the future holds, executive producer Brad Falchuk told TVLine that "nothing is set in stone. For now things are different. But there's an enormous amount of love there, so there's a great chance of a lot of them getting back together."

During the summer and fall the lakeside town of Naples comes alive with visitors eager to soak up a bit of Maine charm. Bounded by Long Lake and Brandy Pond with a tiny downtown that splits the bodies of water, Naples caters to water sport enthusiasts and those looking for a relaxing waterside escape.
The downtown Causeway area is packed with antique shops, restaurants, art galleries, gift shops and two miniature golf courses. It is also the place to rent boats, kayaks or jet skis, buy a ticket for a sea plane ride, or catch a ride on a 300-passenger replica of a Mississippi River stern paddle wheeler. For evening entertainment, establishments on the Causeway offer live music, and the nearby Bridgton Drive-In shows first-run movies on two screens under the stars. Those looking for more water to play in can visit Sebago Lake, the state's second largest, a short drive to the south. Accommodations in Naples include many lakeside cottages along with motels, inns and B&B's.

On a couple weeks I'll be travelling to Florida (Miami, Ft.Lauderdale, Orlando) from Costa Rica. I need a cell phone to be in touch with family and friends in Florida but since I'll be staying for just two weeks I don't want to take a contract or service plan. I can take with me an unblocked iPhone 4 that I use here in CR. So my question is: what kind of pre-paid cellphone should I get and how much would it cost? Or what kind of sim should I get to use with my unlocked iPhone 4 and how much would it cost? It would be nice to have internet access but it is not mandatory.
where can I get a list of the stores that are located in a courtyard like setup in Tarpon Springs. There's a shop that sells all Jimmy Buffet shirts, a Life is Good shop, clothing boutiques etc. I can't think of the name of the shopping area (the entrance is across from the sponge docks . I have been mostly finding the single stores that are right on Dodocanese ... this sits back and you kind of go through and archway

I'm from Brazil, and I and my girlfriend will be visiting Orlando for New Year's Eve. We've never been to Orlando, Miami or Florida.
We just got an idea to grab a couple of tickets for a Miami Dolphins game starting at 1:00pm on December 29th, so we're planning to drive from Orlando early in the morning, watch the game, stay a while in Miami and go back to Orlando at night.
We don't know anything about the traffic in this region, especially close to New Year's Eve, so my question is: is it possible for this plan to go wrong, due to very heavy traffic, closed roads or things like that?
I'm kinda worried because here in Brazil, on some holidays, a trip that normally takes 3 hours could easily turn into a 12 hour nightmare...
my wife wants to go out dancing to 80"s disco music, I read about a bar/restaurant that had entertainment ....maybe drag until midnight and then dancing to 80's music afterwards, but I forgot the name. Anyone help? Thanks!
Is there a historic olf oak tree preserved in Ormond Beach
My family and I (a party of 7, 5 kids from 15 to 10) are spending two week in Florida. We are planning to visit theme parks in Tampa and Orlando and we need to rent a home in each location to fit all. We do not want to stay in Tampa or Orlando next to the parks, does anybody now a close but "not so close" location near Tampa or Orlando where me may rent a place to stay?
We will go back to Miami for the 4th time and we have made in the past several air boat tours in the Everglades near Miami or Florida City. On your opinion, what is the best choice you can suggest to me ? (We will rent a car).

Hi All
First time visiting the states next year with my wife and want some suggestions for places to stay for a week. Really dont want to spend more than $150 a night.
We wont have a car, and want somewhere close to beach, shopping and nightlife if possible. nightlife isnt so important as long as there are some decent places to eat/drink. Shopping for clothes and gadgets (for me). Beach , not bothered but must be clean and not too crowded.
Any suggestions?
Thanks alot
What is the difference between the North end or South end of Ft. Myers Beach ?
Where would you say is better to stay for a month ?
My husband and I are interested in a few days camping in Florida north of Orlando, Tampa areas. After a weekend visiting family Thanksgiving in Palm Harbor and Tampa, we're looking for nature, birding, possibly swimming, not too expensive. We will have a car and tent camp gear and are considering Ocala NF, Withlacoochee SF, Chassahowitzka / Crystal River (manatees?). What are the temperatures, hunting, crowds / reservations or other places we should be considering? Thank you.
We have 8 adults and 5 children and wanting to stay a week in a vacation rental and only 2 days to Disneyworld, plus vehicle rental/s. I figure not staying right at Disney might be cheaper. Plus flying from Detroit to Orlando 13 seats. Does this maybe look familiar to anyone that's gone. Just want a round about amount of what the costs would be? Or anyone have any suggestions would be a great help..
What is the cost of the toll to go over the Courtney Campbell Causeway?
In January a friend and myself are flying into Orlando then renting a car and drive over to Daytona for the Rolex 24 Hour race. We are arriving Orlando about 8:30 PM and I am sure it will be 9:30 before we get our rental car. We are wanting to locate a large grocery market or even a Wal Mart supercenter so we can stock up on camp food and beer for the weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also what time do beer sales end on Thusday night in Florida. I know each state varies and we want to make sure that once we arrive Daytona we dont have to leave until Monday.
Would you choose Orlando or Tampa
Hi peeps,
arriving in Miami from UK in March and would like to stay for 3 nights before going on a music cruise, (moody blues) would anyone be able to recommend a hotel perhaps with either a shuttle from the airport or one to the port please?
How far are the airport hotels from the beaches, nightlife, and cruise port? best cheapest way to stay at the cheaper priced "airport" hotels, but still be able to go to town for nightlife, food, touristy stuff... :)

European Painting before 1900, Johnson Collection Portrait of Cosimo I de' Medici as Orpheus Made in Florence, Italy, Europec. 1537-39 Agnolo Bronzino (Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano), Italian (active Florence), 1503 - 1572 Oil on panel * Gallery 250, European Art 1500-1850, second floor 1950-86-1 Gift of Mrs. John Wintersteen, 1950 |
LabelDuke Cosimo I de' Medici is shown as the mythological musician and poet Orpheus after having calmed Cerberus, the doglike guardian to Hades from which Orpheus wished to retrieve his wife, Eurydice. The highly sensual portrait of the naked young duke may have several meanings: the peaceful age that the new generation of Medici wished to usher in, the duke's patronage of the arts and literature, or his marriage to Eleonora di Toledo in 1539. This painting could have been made in conjunction with ceremonies celebrating the latter occasion.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.

Johnson Collection, 1917 |
LabelCarlo Crivelli's style is marked by fine draftsmanship and delicate brushwork, combined with a strange, caricatured realism. Here, the detailed depiction of Christ's wounds and his graying skin, along with the angels' tears and anguished expressions, accentuate the horror and sorrow of Christ's suffering and death. This painting was made to be the pinnacle, or crowning element, of an altarpiece.Social Tags [?]agony [x] angels [x] anguish [x] christ [x] gold [x] mourning [x] pinnacle [x] sorrow [x] [Add Your Own Tags]* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.
