34 year old man | Santa Monica, CA, USA | Seeking women 24-32 within 25 miles
Waffle fries, oh baby how I love your thighs.
I am from Boston and moved to LA 3 years ago after finishing medical school. My personality is more east coast, but I've grown to love all that LA has to offer. I like exploring beautiful parts of the coast and mountains around LA, finding new restaurants and interesting nightlife, seeing live music, and drinking good wine. I like the fact that some of the coolest places I've found in this city are in random strip malls. I love to travel, and I'm particularly fond of South America and Southeast Asia. I believe in everything in moderation, including excess. I believe in karma and in helping less fortunate people. I'm happiest when I'm around old friends and family, but I enjoy meeting new people and hearing, or telling, interesting stories. I'm sarcastic and I have a dry sense of humor. I'm a romantic at heart. I believe in giving flowers, and spontaneous displays of affection. I am looking for someone who can hold her own in different situations--who can sweat it out on a long hike, and then dress up for a night out, and who makes good company for an occasional lazy day on the couch. I am looking for someone who values education, family, and balance in life, and is able to trust a good guy. I am looking for a travel companion who is open to new experiences, curious about the world, adventurous, and can go with the flow.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Running, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Birds, Dogs, Fish
Malibu beaches, Griffith Park, Hollywood Bowl. Boston, NYC, San Francisco. Cascades, Big Sur, Zion National Park. Paris, Amsterdam, Medellin, Machu Picchu, Koh Phangan, Bali. My bed.
Stanford University, Stanford, CA

Munkhtulga is a responsible and ambitious man who is willing to provide a good quality life for his family. He is very thankful to the lenders who are giving him an opportunity to finish the housing project.
Additional Information
About Transcapital
Transcapital is one of the leading non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) in Mongolia. Through 12 branches, it serves mainly urban and semi-urban microfinance clients, including a growing number of migrants in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Of its clients, almost 68% are women and 60% live in ger districts, settlements made up of houses and traditional Mongolian felt tents that lack basic infrastructure.About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Topic: Cathy McMorris Rodgers
Three GOPs? No. Just One Opposition Party
It doesn't matter how uninspired President Obama's State of the Union speech turned out to be. The contrast between the pomp and circumstance of what is accorded the American equivalent of Queen Elizabeth's annual visit to Westminster to open Parliament makes any opposition responses seem pale by comparison. If the official response by Washington state's Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers wasn't a flop like most of her predecessors, nor did it offer an in-depth refutation of the president, or anything more than a thumbnail sketch of what it is the GOP believes. The fact that the Republicans have in recent years produced more than one response, with the Tea Party offering up one last night by Senator Mike Lee separate from that of the traditional GOP, with Senator Rand Paul deciding to speak too, only serves to reinforce the impression of a Republican Party that is both divided and incoherent.
This feeds into the mainstream media narrative that the Republicans' problems in the wake of their 2012 defeat as well as the beating they took (and largely deserved) for shutting down the government last fall. As New York Times editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal wrote in a humorous putdown of the GOP, the three parties represented last night could be labeled the "Stepford party" (a sexist reference to McMorris Rodgers speaking for the GOP establishment), "the storm the castle party" (Mike Lee speaking for the Tea Party), and "the non-threatening insurgent party" (Rand Paul speaking on behalf of the Rand Paul party). Rosenthal even took the opportunity to pile on by taking a cheap shot at Republicans by terming the ugly threat made to a reporter last night by New York's Rep. Michael Grimm as the "class clown response" to the president.
But the idea that the GOP is hopelessly divided and would be unable to govern even if they were given the chance is a misreading of the situation or, as in the case of the liberal ideologue Rosenthal, mere partisan hyperventilating. What we saw last night was not a contrast between a united party and one rent by schisms. Rather, it was an illustration of the difference between being in power and not being in power.
GOP Identity: It's Not Just 2016 Contenders
There has been, and will continue to be, buzz around certain young conservative politicians who are expected to be in consideration for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. These young stars, such as Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, and others, have their every statement and every vote examined for its relevance to the 2016 nomination battle.
One reason for this is that the GOP seems to have finally shed its allegiance to next-in-linism, the practice of nominating last cycle's runner-up or someone with the right pedigree, or even someone viewed as having paid his dues. The party that does not hold the White House is usually in search of an identity. But this is even more the case with regard to the current Republican Party, which has no obvious nominee waiting in the wings, and as such, no obvious leader. But the party's identity going forward is going to be shaped as much by up-and-coming politicians who aren't vying for the 2016 nomination as those who are.

Sales and Operations Internship Interview
The process took a week – interviewed at SunGard Trading and Risk Systems (Lombard, IL) in April 2011.
Initially I applied to the internship via my College Career Services. I was called and briefly asked what I knew about Sungard and some behavioral questions. I was then called by my boss that I ended up working directly for and she told me about what I would be doing for the summer. Then I actually went into the office and met with an HR woman who then hired me. Mostly behavioral questions.

Violent polar storms — the most vicious weather systems on the Earth — help control the world's weather, a new study has found.
These mini-hurricanes occur in the Arctic winter, when freezing air flows out of the region and over the warmer Atlantic Ocean. As the Arctic warms in the coming decades, there are expected to be fewer of them.
However, without the storms, the rest of the world could face weather disruption. They are vital to the global thermohaline (movement of seawater based on temperature variations) circulation in the ocean, which underpins ocean currents and weather systems, according to Alan Condron from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and Ian Renfrew from University of East Anglia UK.
The thermohaline circulation starts in the far north of the Atlantic with the rapid sinking of dense, saline water, 'New Scientist' reported. Condron and Renfrew's modelling shows that polar storms often initiate this by stirring up the water column. Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University in New Jersey says low-pressure systems that form along the path of the Gulf Stream are likely to push further north as the world warms.PTI

Treatment of Pension Schemes in
View Thread
The Treatment of Government Employee Pension Funds in the Australian National Accounts
Posted By:
ABS on 1/23/2003 2:56:19 PM
In implementing SNA93, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) faced the question of how to treat unfunded superannuation schemes relating to general government employees. In Australia, unfunded schemes in the general government sector that offer defined benefits have historically been a significant component of the social security arrangements. This
describes typical unfunded superannuation arrangements relating to many general government employees in Australia and explains the treatment of these arrangements in the Australian System of National Accounts (ASNA). A number of issues associated with this treatment are considered. In particular, and consistent with funded schemes, we believe that assets and liabilities associated with unfunded pension schemes should generally be recorded in the sectoral balance sheets.

Repairing Permissions and ARDAgent
I am getting this when repairing permissions : "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Doesn't look like permissions get fixed. What can I do?

You're not the only one to report this - SINC on ehMac.ca reports the same thing.
ARDAgent is part of Apple Remote Desktop. First: turn off Apple Remote Desktop in your System Preferences and try Repairing Permissions again. Can you find and delete that file/package? Presumably it can be reinstalled with a custom Install later.
Ex = former, no longer. Spurt = a leak, esp. when caused by water pressure. Expert = a has-been drip under pressure. |

Same problem here. Tried it several times and always the same error message. I tried restarting and running disk utility from the Leopard Installation Dvd, same error. And Permission Repair (or Verify) takes a lot more time than it did with Tiger. It doesn't show a progress bar either. Just the blue/white spinning bar (I don't know what it's called). I called Apple Customer Support but they couldn't help. Told me to backup my data and Erase/Install Mac OS again!! (I'm not doing that!)
I was thinking it was a problem with my system, but now that I see I'm not the only one experiencing this, I guess it's a Disk Utility bug. Hope Apple fixes this soon. |

Same here. Always see those three. And it really takes time to repair or verify.

I've had this problem each time and on three different installs. It was there when I did a 10.4.10 to 10.5 upgrade. Long time to repair permissions and then gives that error. Then I did a clean install of just 10.5. Still there. Finally I did a clean restore to 10.4 and updated through software update to 10.4.10. Then I upgraded. The problem is still there.
It seems to be an issue with Disk Utility. When I boot up from the install disc and try to repair the HD/Repair Permissions it says the disc won't unmount. Says the same thing for my external Firewire 400 HD. When I do verify HD under the repair option for my external the whole computer locks up. Apple really needs to address this problem and fix it ASAP before too many important people lose all their files as some already have over this. |

I'm getting the same issue. Can you tell me if you are having problems with setting permissions? When I do a get info on a folder or file there is "me" "unknown" and "everyone" I don't know what the unknown is and I can't delete it. If I click on the + symbol it crashes the Finder also. It seems that the permission setting do not work at all. The lock icon does not always animate also.

i'm just having problems with the long time that it takes to repair permissions. It has been going for a long time now and it is still 'starting to verify'.
I really think they all need updating as there are quite a few flaky elements occurring. Does anyone know how to solve this without doing a clean install? I upgraded from 10.4.

Just retried it and got the ARD issues as posted above. Not going to bother with it until again until we see some an update.

its so annoying as things are pretty flaky, restarts are very slow along with most other things. I have tried both disk utility and system optimizer x - both do the same thing.

Spoke with apple for 3 hours
After being on the phone with apple for 3 hours trying to fix"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
They had me boot off the disk and safe mode. They moved me to a product specialist and we worked with a few different thing. He sent it on to the engineers and he wants me to call him back on Tuesday. Other than this everything is running good. Disk permission is slow but it completes with in 10 min. |

Exactly the same issues here. Slow repairing of permission and then the odd problems as discussed earlier with ARDAgent and the two folders.

Same here:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired. and ACL found but not expected on "Library". Hope they come up with a fix soon. I wasted three hours doing an erase and install and manually copying everything to fix this, all to no avail. Glad I'm not alone. |

Repairing permissions for Mac Pro Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired. ACL found but not expected on "Library". when repairing permission, the disk utility seems to 'hung' / beachball for about 3 to 4 minutes.... this problem only occur in Leopard. Also, the computer keeps forgetting the startup disk hence the flashing folder with question mark. Are these 2 problems related? |

Zoowatch, I don't have the startup disk problem, so maybe it's caused by something else. I did get one problem of not being able to log in at all on any disk (this was after installing the log in patch), eventually solved it by shutting off the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Go figure. They work fine now. Seems like they released Leopard a little early.

Same here. Ever since I installed leopard on my MBP 2.33g 3gig I'd been getting the following error:
ACL found but not expected on "Applications". ACL found but not expected on "Library". Ever since I did the Remote Desktop Management update I started getting the "SUID ARDAgent" error as well. Now, whenever I repair permissions it takes forever to finish, repairs nothing and gives me the above three errors. |

Warning: SUID file has been modified and will not be repaired
If you have no intention to use the remote desktop application, then delete the following folder, you can always re-install from the leopard start up disk.
System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement Fixes the issue; Warning: SUID file has been modified and will not be repaired If you need the remote desktop app, tough, wait for Apple to admit there is an issue and hide it in one of the next software updates, hope your system doesn't become too unstable in the interim. I have deleted it and the disk utility come up with a satisfying clean bill of health. Not big, not clever, but it works Thanks Billyb |

This has been posted on the Apple Discussion Forums by quite a few people, so its obviously a common problem, and I assume the next updates will fix it. I have it too.

Disk permission repair
unfortunately the issue is more serious than it seems. Aside from the error message: System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Leopard does actually not repair any disc permissions, that's why there is no moving progress bar and thats why nobody gets a list of repaired permissions. The utility does eventually give the message that permissions have been repaired, but in reality nothing has happened. Even after removing the ARD agent application, yes the error message disappears but no permissions are being repaired and after the progress bar flashes for up to 20 min (depending on your system), no progress is being made, no permissions are being repaired. This is a serious issue and hopefully Apple will post a fix soon. |

2000 CR250r Low end power
Posted October 19, 2009 - 08:48 AM
[COLOR=black] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]I'm new to this forum, just picked up a 2000 CR250r, my first two stroke. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=black] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]The bike runs great, it screams up top, it hits very hard. But I'm getting tired faster trying to hang on when the power hits. Coming from four strokes, I know it will never have the same low end, but I'm willing to sacrifice some of the top end to get back a little low end. The bike already has an FMF Gnarly pipe, and a Boysen power valve cover, I know both are suppose to help low end. The previous owner told me it had a Pro Circuit cylinder head, will swapping out to a stock one bring back the low end power? Any other suggestions? [/COLOR]
[COLOR=black] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]Being new to two stokes, I'm not quite sure where to start. [/COLOR]

Oh, and check the exhaust valve. take off the 17mm bolt/cover on the left side of cylinder. it sould point to the L until mid rpms then rotate to the H.
Posted October 20, 2009 - 10:55 PM
check squish, maybe bump compression at same time
Boyeson Pro Series 2 stage carbon reeds
spacer on reed cage
shorty silencer
swap in cylinder from a '99, or have your ported for low end

If you ever get a chance to try a stock pipe, do it. I think the power is way smoother than a FMF Gnarly pipe on the '00 CR250. Also, +1 on the flywheel weight suggestion.
Posted November 24, 2009 - 08:29 AM
I took the right side case cover off and found the rack was not installed correctly with the pinion. It took me 30min just to clean off the orange RTV that was caked on everywhere. Put it back together with fresh gaskets, adjusted the valve so it had spring tension on it.
As soon as I got to the end of the street and ripped on it I knew it was fixed, finally. It's like riding a different bike. I took my 5 year old daughter out riding the next day and was able to lug it and go slow with her, would have been impossible before. It will almost idle up short steep hills now. Thanks for all the suggestions, there's a wealth of info here.

I don't really like glads but planted sme in a pot this year after they were left unwanted at a charity plant sale along with one each of purple and white petunias. They all did well and flowered well and the glads turned out to be a rich, deep purple rather than the gaudy candy shades I dislike. I shall keep them for next year.
I also planted acidanthus in pots and had lots of flowers but not on every plant. I suspect they were overcrowded so, once the foliage dies down I shall lift them and separate them and plant them less densely next year.
Both pots had full sun and regular watering and feeding.
I've just replaced my summer baskets at the front door with deep fuchsia pink hardy cyclamen and silvery white cineraria which picks up the marbling on the cyclamen foliage. The baskets by the garage doors will be replaced by the fuchisa baskets which have been hanging on teh north side of the house.
These will do well until the first frosts and then I'll plant out the cyclamen to increase my increasing stock in a shletered front bed and take the fuchsias indoors for the winter.
It's too cold here for winter baskets but I do things like skimmia, euonymous, bronze carex and variegated ivy for the two pots by the front door with some cheery faced violas for extra colour. I've learned not to try phormiums, pennisetum, heathers, heucheras and so on in pots. They just die of cold.
Inecting higher up would protect the wall above the injection point but not help much with the part below and if you have electrical wires and sockets in that part you'll end up with rusty back parts in your sockets. We did before getting our walls fixed and had to have some replaced. Another expense to take into account.
Good luck with the solicitor. It should help clarify your situation.
I agree that your neighbour's gardening activities are causing damage and he should be liable a) to remove the nuisance causing the damage and b) pay for repairs caused by his neglect or wilful damage.
A survey should have identified this problem so if you had one, you may have recourse against the surveyor.
As for damp injections, we've just had our entire house injected again after problems with the road outside led to water finding its way up our walls again. The garage wall has land raised to about 3' high on one side so they simply injected just above that height to protect the rest of the wall and the bedroom above so it is possible to inject from inside and higher than usual. However, it is a garage wall so no plastering or decoration needed.
Alys on her own programme. Toby never again.
I've just watched GW from Friday and it was seriously dull and uninspiring and rather a waste of 30 precious minutes which could have been devoted to informative, interesting and inspiring items on plants and gardens - what to grow, how to grow, where to grow. Ditto propagation.
Can't say I'm too disappointed though as I've been thinking this about GW for months.
It has been done very neatly and tidily with attention to detail so full marks for that. However, I really dislike the plasticky looking waterfall and the visible pipe at the side but these can be softened in impact by plants which will hide and soften the edges and one to flop over and hide the pipe.
It should bed in in time and look more natural and I hope your parents are pleased with your efforts.
I'm glad they've responded and are looking healthier. If they're still looking green I'd wait for spring to do the next sequestered iron treatment but I'd also give them a mulch now of soil improver for ericaceous plants and again next spring.
The common name for anemones is wind flower.
Mine are subject to strong prevailing westerly winds most if the year with occasional Siberian blasts from the east. My Japanese anemones do just fine in moist, fertile, alkaline loam on the north side of the house but only the pink ones will grow there. I have another clump of pink ones doing very well further up in a better drained site with more sun and shelter form the worst of the westerlies. I'm having one last go at growing the white form in a spot with drainage, sun and shellter from easterlies.
No. Household rates cover refuse collection. Water and sewerage are separate. Medical care - except dentistry - is free at point of delivery except for prescriptions and that depends on your status - or so I understand it after not living there for a while.
In Belgium we also pay every time we visit a doctor but it's refunded wholly or in part by the Mutuelle insurance depending on problem and patient status - which concentrates the mind about not bothering GPS for colds and other minor ailments that can bet treated with advice from the pharmacy or even common sense.
Some prescriptions, eg cancer drugs, are refunded 100%. Others such as contraceptives are not funded at all. Children's meds are funded differently too. Medicines can only be bought from a pharmacy, unlike in the UK where you can get some at the supermarket or off the shelf in a drugstore. I like the Belgian system. It's rapid, efficient, effective and hard to abuse.
Every household in Belgium has a water metre so you pay for what you consume which seems fair to me. There are also rules about water companies and maintenance and maximum percentages of leakages allowed. Most UK companies would be in breach and having to pay fines and effect repairs whose costs may not be passed on to the consumer.
Like WW, I prefer to nurture my new plants rather than lose them. There are better ways to save water - shorter showers, not leaving the tap on when brushing teeth, using a dishwasher rather than washing by hand etc.

The ELvis cluster (formerly named the RVS cluster) consists of 9 render nodes and a separate login node, each with the following specs:
The login node, elvis.surfsara.nl
, is only meant for compiling software, testing, inspecting data before starting visualization and starting interactive visualization jobs. The actual visualization jobs will run on the node s37n1 - s37n9.
The scheduling system uses a number of queues to make sure several users can work on the cluster at the same time, while still allowing almost the full cluster to be used by a single user that needs a large amount of memory, or for very long jobs on a few nodes (like producing animation frames). Note that you don't have to explicitly request a certain queue, the choice will be made depending on the job request.

The role of both laser Pulse length and duty cycle in controlling the grain size and crystallographic texture of diode laser-deposited Waspaloy powder is investigated. Thin-walled test structures of Waspaloy have been produced Using a range of pulse parameters and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. Results have been correlated with a simple analytical model of the effect of the laser pulse oil the substrate temperature and melt-pool geometry in order to help explain the trends observed. Findings show that Pulse parameters have a marked effect oil the resulting grain morphology and crystallographic orientation. Modelling has indicated that this arises because the microstructure Lire is highly dependent oil the melt-pool geometry, particularly the inclination angle of the melt-pool boundary.

Taylor Swift Adds Fifth London Show
Taylor Swift is going to paint the O2 Arena in London 'red' not once, not twice, not three times ... she will do so five times!
Taylor Swift is going to paint the O2 Arena in London 'red' not once, not twice, not three times ... she will do so five times!
Seems like Ozzy Osbourne isn't the only member of the Osbourne clan who is enthralled with Taylor Swift. His daughter, Kelly, has jumped onto the Swift train as well.
Taylor Swift is definitely a superstar. But to be called one by another, more legendary superstar -- now, that's a big deal. When heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne met Swift recently, he was apparently blown away.
Taylor Swift graces the November 2013 cover of Glamour UK, and inside speaks candidly about how she feels about her reputation -- and especially her dating life.
Taylor Swift's British fans will soon have the chance to sing along with their favorite 'Red' songs, as the singer has just announced London tour dates for 2014.
Over the years, a lot of country artist have made it to the big screen. Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, George Strait and many others. Well, the new generation of country stars are following in their footsteps.
Taylor Swift partnered with Diet Coke earlier this year and as part of the pairing, she and her music appear in commercials for the low-calorie soft drink. Now, the beverage brand has created a limited edition "Sleek Can," which is longer and slimmer than the regular version, and features Swift's autograph and a quote!
Just days after wrapping up her U.S. Red Tour, Taylor Swift turned up on the red carpet in Los Angeles for the world premiere of 'Romeo and Juliet,' a film starring Swift's good friend Hailee Steinfeld. The singer came sporting a new hairstyle, posing for cameras before entering the screening.
Car accidents are the last thing Taylor Swift's fans are thinking about when they walk into her concerts, but for 7-year-old Grace Markel, it was an unfortunate reality.
For her final show of the American leg of the 2013 Red Tour -- and the third night of a sold-out trio of concerts at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville -- Taylor Swift wanted 'Crazy,' and she got it.
Taylor Swift won't ever forget where she came from. While she straddles the line between pop and country, the singer kept her Keds firmly planted in the country genre during the second of three sold-out stints at the Bridgetone Arena in Nashville last night (Sept. 20) by inviting Rascal Flatts to duet with her on their song 'What Hurts the Most.'
Ed Sheeran has spent several months hanging out with Taylor Swift on her 2013 Red Tour, and the British pop star has gotten to know country music's sweetheart pretty well. His conclusion? She's a lot like the TV series 'The Office' -- and that's a good thing!

Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2013
On a checkerboard runway in a cavernous Park Avenue Armory transformed to look like Harry Potter's library, Tommy Hilfiger sent out a tight lineup filled with Prince of Whales plaid, argyle, and herringbone. The theme was "Savile Row meets Ivy League" with a nice dose of '60s, and thus there was a preppy-mod tinge to these well-tailored clothes. Coats of every kind — peacoats, boyfriend blazers, duffles, and parkas — dominated every look. Meanwhile a strict palette of cream, navy, red, and khaki kept the whole thing feeling fresh and neat — just the way a Hilfiger collection should be.

Independence of the Seas Cruise Review by BobbyOrr: Excellent ports but hang on to your wallet
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Independence of the Seas Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruises
Excellent ports but hang on to your wallet
Left Southhampton after 3 marvelous days in London.
We had heard via cruisecritic that the ship was boarding late due to extra cleaning required. I think the port was overwhelmed with People as it a a bit chaotic but to be fare, we moved reasonable quickly. We had to give up our Passports as were not European Union citizens. What disappointed me was that the RCI staff could not tell us why. Next day did get a letter explaining so.
Biggest disappointment was our room as we found out that nite that we were over the pub. Complained about the music and moved the next day however it was down to the 2nd floor where we could hear the engine. This was the biggest disappointment though we did manage to get a $2000 future cruise certificate as a result.
I thought the food was good overall. No complaints. Only disappointment for me personally is that in Portofino's have stopped serving pasta with the meal. I probably will not go back.
Staff was excellent, no More
complaints. The ice shows are excellent. For the most part, the shows were good however I wish that there was less broadway tunes in the shows. Our cruise director (Josh) was excellent.
Ports were outstanding however we were the targets of pickpockets twice. Be aware in Spain. Barcelona and Lisbon were excellent and recommened highly to use private tours so you maximize your visit time.
Seas were fairly calm and the ships pool area was well used. It was fun to be in the pool with my kids. One of my 11 year old ( I have twins ) could not get enough of the kids clubs. My other 11 year old has tourettes so he did not go as often but enjoyed it when he went. One advice I did pick up from cruise critic was to ask for a deck phone as a result of my one son. They did let me use a phone for free which great for checking in on my son or getting back information. ALso handy to call other quest rooms as well.
I had read a lot of negatives about the ships service and guest behaviour. I did not find that at all. I was looking for it but the staff was excellent. As were the quests. Very polite and personable.
WOuld go on independence again.
Port: Allicante.
Second encounter with a pickpocket.
Did not know at the time but a hop on/hop off bus really close to the pier. People selling tickets there as well.
Also very close is a really big beach.
Would visit again. Less

Port and Shore Excursions
Would go back.
Only issue with Cannes versus what we experienced in Spain was most did not speak English. Not a concern, just an observation.
I would go back.
They take you to the top of Gibralter to see the caves and the monkeys.
However, Gibralter was probably a port i would not care to go back to.
Did not know at the time but the Palma hop on/hop off bus stops right in front of the cruise ship. Its a good way to see the city, highly recommend.
Took the train to soller. Well worth it. Just leave yourself lots of time to get back.
WOuld go back again.

Valencia CF will look to make amends for two humiliating UEFA Champions League defeats as they take on Rosenborg BK in Trondheim in their second UEFA Cup Group G fixture.
• Rosenborg and Valencia met twice in the UEFA Champions League group stage last season, and while both sides had different coaches in the two matches, the outcome was the same both times, with Rosenborg winning 2-0 in Trondheim and by the same scoreline at the Mestalla Stadium.
• Knut Tørum's Rosenborg beat a Valencia team coached by Quique Sánchez Flores – now in charge of SL Benfica – in the first fixture, Yssouf Koné and Vidar Riseth getting the goals.
• By the time they met in Spain, just a fortnight later, Trond Henriksen was in charge at Rosenborg and Ronald Koeman had replaced Sánchez Flores, but this time Steffen Iversen scored both goals in another 2-0 win for the Norwegian side.
• The teams for their meeting on 24 October 2007 in Trondheim were:
Rosenborg: Lars Hirschfeld, Roar Strand (Fredrik Stoor, 86), Yssouf Koné (Øyvind Storflor, 80), Vidar Riseth, Steffen Iversen, Per Ciljan Skjelbred, Alexander Tettey, Abdou Razack Traoré, Bjørn Tore Kvarme, Marek Sapara, Mikael Dorsin.
Valencia: Santiago Cañizares, Raúl Albiol, Carlos Marchena (Rubén Baraja, 67), David Albelda, Fernando Morientes, Jaime Gavilán (Nikola Žigić, 67), Iván Helguera, Joaquín, David Silva, Miguel (Miguel Ángel Angulo, 78), Emiliano Moretti.
• Those two defeats against Rosenborg represent Valencia's only experience of Norwegian opposition.
• In contrast Rosenborg have played 16 games against Spanish teams, winning five, drawing three and losing eight. Of their eight home games against Liga opponents they have won four, drawn one and lost three.
• For the two sides' third meeting in just over a year they will once more line up with different coaches. Swede Erik Hamrén is now in charge at Rosenborg while Valencia are led by Unai Emery.
• Hamrén has some experience of Spanish opposition. His Aalborg BK side lost 2-1 at home against Getafe CF in last season's UEFA Cup group stage, while back in 1997, his AIK Solna outfit went down 3-1 at FC Barcelona and drew 1-1 at home in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals.
• Valencia's Pablo Hernández scored Getafe's first goal in that game against Hamrén's AaB.
• Rosenborg and Valencia have picked up a point apiece so far. Rosenborg held Club Brugge KV to a goalless draw on Matchday 1, while Valencia drew 1-1 at home against FC København two weeks later.
• This will be Rosenborg's eleventh European game of the season, having started their campaign in the second round of the UEFA Intertoto Cup. They are the only side left in the tournament to have started the campaign so early.
• Of their ten 2008/09 European engagements so far, the Norwegian side have won six, drawn one and lost three, with their five home games bringing them four wins and a draw.
• Valencia's David Albelda, Iván Helguera and David Villa are all within a booking of a one-match suspension.
• Club Brugge KV face AS Saint-Etienne in Matchday 3's other Group G tie. København are the only side in the section not in action.

_____ rubbed her hands together nervously, pacing her living room in silence. She knew her husband Ludwig would be home any minute, and her head was reeling with ways to tell him her news.
"Aw, man," she muttered, running her hand through her hair as she thought, a gesture she had picked up from Ludwig. "What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?"
She froze as she heard the front door being unlocked and pushed open, heavy footsteps coming into the house and closing the door and locking it. She whirled around to see her husband stagger into the living room. She immediately pulled her best smile and said, "Hi, Luddy. How was your––"
She stopped herself when Ludwig walked right past her, removing his coat as he went to the kitchen. _____ furrowed her brows in confusion. Ludwig never blew her off like that, ever. What was up with him? She followed his movements and went into the kitchen as well. She noticed that Ludwig's coat had been hung carelessly over the back of a chair, and Ludwig was pulling a beer out of the refrigerator. He unceremoniously uncapped the brown bottle and took a long swig.
"Ludwig?" said _____. "Everything okay?"
Ludwig finished his swig, consisting of half the bottle, and let out a gruff sigh. "Ja. I'm fine."
She nodded, her hands still nervously holding onto each other. "That's good," she said, her head lowering to look at the kitchen tiles. "Because I really need to talk to you about something."
While _____ had spoken, Ludwig had quickly and greedily downed the rest of his beer, and he threw the now empty bottle away and started to leave the kitchen. "Can we talk about it later, schatz? I had a bad day at work, und I don't want any more stress at the moment."
_____ blinked. "But I thought you said everything was okay."
Ludwig grunted, which _____ had come to find was his way of saying "I was wrong."
_____ stepped forward a bit. "So, what's wrong?"
"No. You're lying, Ludwig. I'm your wife. I know when you're lying."
"I'm fine, _____," replied Ludwig, an edge obvious in his voice.
_____ pursed her lips, then said softly, "Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"
"That's none of your business!" Ludwig snapped, causing _____ to freeze. He grunted in frustration, and stomped out of the kitchen and out the front door, grabbing his keys and wallet on the way out.
_____ sat herself slowly into one of the seats at the kitchen table, holding her face in her hands. She breathed deeply, trying to keep the tears in.
"Eine weitere, Barkeeper."
The bartender raised a skeptic eyebrow at Ludwig as he handed him his third beer that night. Ludwig took the mug in his hand and gulped down a large portion of the beverage. He sighed heavily, setting the mug back down onto the counter. He ran his other hand through his blond hair, a few strands falling out of place. He hated that. He hated when anything was out of order. And that's exactly what happened today. Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong, and Ludwig had had enough of it. He needed to get away for a while.
"Well, well. Haven't seen you in a bar in a while."
Ludwig turned his head, a bit surprised to see his wife's childhood friend standing only a few feet from him. "What's it to you?" he said, annoyed.
Alfred smirked apologetically and sat down beside the German. "Tough day at work?"
"Yo, barkeep! Gimme a beer, would ya'?" Alfred looked back at the man at his side. "C'mon, it's not so bad. Could be worse."
"Ja? How?"
"You could still be working with Feliciano."
Ludwig snorted at this, pursing his lips to prevent any beer from escaping his mouth. "Alright, you got me on that one." He set his mug down. "What are you doing here, anyway? Aren't you supposed to be in New York?"
Alfred picked up his new beer bottle, taking a short swig and setting it back down on the counter. "Yeah, well, I had time to take a little vacation, so I thought I'd come and spend some time with my buddy and her hubby."
Ludwig rolled his eyes, downing the remainder of his beer.
Alfred scanned his expression. "Something happen between you two?"
The German sighed softly. "Nein. Just a little argument about my day."
"And how'd that end?"
Ludwig blinked, what had happened between him and his wife finally dawning on him. He immediately held his head in one hand in shame and groaned in frustration. "I left the house to come here."
Alfred breathed in through his teeth, making a hissing sound. "Dick move, bro. Dick move."
"You think?"
He stood up from his seat on the stool and patted the other man's shoulder. "C'mon, man. This isn't the place you need to be right now."
Ludwig looked at the American, nodding and standing up as well. "You're right," he said, his voice unusually hushed. He started for the door, Alfred following close behind.
After a few minutes of silent walking, the two men stopped at a nearby fountain. Alfred sat down on the wide edge of the fountain and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket.
"Since when did you take up smoking?" said Ludwig, surprised.
Alfred shrugged and extracted a cigarette from the pack with his teeth. "Since the stress started getting to me. You're not the only one who gets stressed anymore." He held the pack out for Ludwig, and the German sighed and accepted the offer, taking a cigarette and sitting down beside him.
"Do you have a lighter?"
"Yeah." Alfred returned the pack to its home and traded it for an old-fashioned cigarette lighter. He lit his cigarette quickly before handing the lighter to Ludwig. Ludwig lit his and gave the lighter back.
Alfred took a long drag, looking up at the starry sky as he let out a smoky breath. "Y'know. . .I'm really jealous of you. . ."
Ludwig raised an eyebrow, taking a short drag.
"I mean, you got _____. I'm not gonna lie, I love her." He laughed humorlessly. "I even loved her back when we were little." He looked down at the cigarette cradled between his fingers, suddenly finding a distaste for it. "I don't know. Maybe if I'd done something sooner. . ." He shook his violently. "No. Never mind. Forget I said that."
Ludwig looked at him, his expression softening, then he pursed his lips and looked at the ground. "Nein. It's alright. I. . ." He held his head in his hand, rubbing his temple. "Sometimes, I wish I was still single. . ."
Alfred stared at the German, dumbfounded. Did he seriously just say that? But he loved _____, right?
. . .Right?
"I don't think that as often as you think," the German continued. "It just passes through my mind every once in a while. I still love her, but sometimes. . ."
"I love her. . ." Alfred mumbled absentmindedly. "I want her. . ."
"I wish I had your life."
The sentence was said by both men, neither one listening to the other. They glanced at each other, blinking at each other momentarily, then passed it off. The two looked down at their half-finished cigarettes in renewed disgust, both dropping theirs and grinding them into the ground simultaneously. They stood up.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later," said Alfred. He turned to leave, waving slightly. "Night, Lud."
Ludwig nodded curtly before making his way back to his house.
Ludwig opened the front door to his house, careful not to make any noise. It was late, almost one in the morning, and he assumed that _____ was asleep now.
He guessed correctly, seeing that all the lights had been turned off. He climbed the stairs to his room, his expression softening at the sight of his unconscious wife lying across her side of the bed. He removed his clothes, changed into his sleepwear, and lay down in the bed. He leaned over _____, whispering into her ear, "Es tut mir leid, liebe."
He settled into the bed and fell asleep a few minutes later.
Alfred opened his eyes to the morning sunlight that reached every corner of the room. He yawned deeply and rolled onto his side. He froze when he saw a figure lying beside him in bed.
I didn't get that drunk, he thought skeptically. I only had one beer. He pushed himself up to see the person, his eyes widening in recognition.
"Oh, my God, _____!" He jumped back to the edge of the bed, but stopped when he noticed that his voice sounded different. He slowly climbed out of the bed, which he saw was definitely not his, and stepped toward a full mirror hanging from the wall. He blinked with wide light blue eyes at the strange but familiar figure in the reflection.
The man staring back at Alfred was not him, but Ludwig.
Alfred raised his hand and waved it in an odd fashion, and Ludwig did the same. Alfred furrowed his brows, and so did Ludwig.
"What the hell?" Alfred muttered, but it was spoken in Ludwig's voice. The voice was now Ludwig's, but the accent was still Alfred's. Alfred paced a few feet in thought.
Okay. This is whack. This is insanely whack. This. . .This has gotta be a dream. Just some crazy dream. . .
Alfred pinched his arm and looked around, his surroundings unchanging.
A soft, tired moan emitted from the bed, and Alfred whirled around to see _____ shifting in bed. Thankfully, she wasn't fully awake, which gave Alfred a few moments to think.
After those moments of thought, Alfred leaned over her figure and whispered in the best German accent he could muster, "I'm going to see a friend. I'll be back soon."
_____ smiled slightly, her eyes still closed, and she nodded and let out a low "Mm-hm" before falling back into blissful slumber.
Alfred sighed and looked around. He spotted some clothes that had been laid out on a chair, and decided to dress into those. When he was fully clothed, he grabbed the keys off the dresser and darted toward the front door.
Alfred approached the front door of his rented apartment. He was a bit surprised that he wasn't as out of breath as he would have been if he had been in his own body, but given that it was Ludwig's body, he passed it off. He lifted his fist and pounded on the door, hoping desperately that someone would answer.
Thankfully, someone did. Alfred did. It was Alfred's body, but the grim expression on his face made it obvious that it wasn't Alfred.
The man in Alfred's body stared with wide eyes, then glared at him. "So, it happened to you, too?" he said in a thick German accent.
"Ludwig?" Alfred leaned into the doorway, passing the threshold and stepping inside. "How did this––what's going on?"
Ludwig sighed, adjusting the glasses he was not used to wearing. "I don't know. I woke up this morning in your bed––und your body."
"And I woke up––" A light blush colored Alfred's––"Ludwig's"––cheeks. "I-I woke up n-next to _____. . ."
Ludwig's––"Alfred's"––face flushed as he glared at the man in his own body. "You didn't try anything, right?"
Alfred blinked. "What? N-No! Of course not!" He suddenly shook his head and said, "Never mind that. We need to figure out how we ended up like this, and how we can change back."
Ludwig sneered, and Alfred found it hilarious how the German sounded in his voice. "It is not like you to get to the point so quickly. But I agree. Come in." He walked into the small living room of the apartment, sitting down on one of the two love seats. Alfred sat on the one opposite of Ludwig, and an awkward silence ensued.
Ludwig looked up at the man in his body, a strange mixture of anxiety and fear stirring inside him. Could this have been brought on by something he had done? What could have possibly caused this?
His eyes widened in realization. "Of course," he muttered. He blinked when he spoke, but relaxed. He was still trying to get used to having the American's higher-pitched voice.
"What?" said Alfred. "Did you think of something?"
Ludwig stood up and paced the floor. "Last night, we both sat at that fountain, und we wished we had each other's life."
Alfred blinked. "So, what? If we wish we'd change back, would we?"
Ludwig pushed up his––"Alfred's"––glasses. "I doubt it. I think. . .it was the fountain that fulfilled the wish." He glanced at Alfred. "Unless your brother was nearby."
Alfred snorted, which was an amusingly unusual sound to pass through the German's lips––even if it wasn't Ludwig who had made the noise. "No way. If he was even here in this city, I would've known by now. That guy sticks out like a sore thumb."
"That's true," agreed Ludwig. He put his fist to his chin as he thought. "So, we would have to go back to the fountain und make the wish to change back. Of course. . .there must be a certain time we have to do it, though. . ."
"So, what do you think?" Alfred leaned on his knees as he looked up at the pondering man that manifested his body. "Maybe it'll work if we do it tonight?"
Ludwig nodded slightly, letting his hand fall back to his side. "Perhaps."
The two froze as a ringer suddenly went off. Alfred looked down and stuck his hand in his pocket, pulling out Ludwig's cell phone that he had taken before he left. "Oh, yeah," he said, flipping the phone open. "I forgot about this."
"Who is it?"
"_____. She just sent a text." He smirked and waved the phone in front of him. "Let's see what kinky little secrets lie inside your little texts~!"
Ludwig snatched the phone away before Alfred had a chance to open the text message. He pressed a button on the phone and read the message. After a moment, he sighed and tossed the phone back to Alfred. "_____ is wanting me––you––to come home. She needs to talk to you about something."
Alfred blinked. "Really? Do you know what?"
"Nein. All I know is that she wanted to tell me something yesterday, but I wouldn't listen." A look of conviction crossed Ludwig's––"Alfred's"––face before it was replaced by his usual undirected glare. "You should go. Tell me what happened when it's over. We'll meet back up at the fountain tonight at seven."
"But wait!" Alfred stood up. "What do I do until then?"
"Just fake an accent. I'm sure you've done it before."
Alfred gritted his teeth. "Ooh. So you know about all the. . ."
"If you're talking about the times you made fun of me behind my back, yes. Now just go." Ludwig pushed Alfred out of the door of the apartment, closing the door when Alfred was outside.
Alfred sighed, smoothed back slick blond hair, and started off toward Ludwig's house.
Alfred opened the fortunately unlocked front door and stepped inside the house. He looked around him for a moment, then stopped when he saw _____ sitting quietly in the living room. He walked in and halted a few feet from her, and said in his best German accent, "_____?"
_____ looked up, and anxiety was plain on her face. "H-Hi, Ludwig."
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Alfred felt a small hint of pride, knowing that his accent was convincing.
_____ blinked, then stood up and brought her hands together nervously. "Um. . .well. . .Ludwig, I, um. . ."
"Ja? What is it?"
She took a deep breath, gathering up her courage. "I'm pregnant, Ludwig."
Alfred stared at _____ with wide eyes. His jaw dropped, and he was going to speak, but nothing came out. He backed up a few steps, then turned around and said, "I'll be right back," before leaving the room.
"L-Ludwig!" _____ stepped forward to stop him, but paused in confusion. She furrowed her brows and headed for where she had assumed he had gone.
As soon as he was out of sight, Alfred sped toward the empty kitchen and dialed a number into Ludwig's cell phone. He waited impatiently a few seconds, then was relieved to hear someone on the other end.
"Ludwig! Wait––is that really what I sound like over the phone? Never mind. Ludwig, I just talked to _____!"
"Ja? Und?"
"Ludwig, she's––"
Alfred immediately whirled around, holding the cell phone behind his back. "_____! What––" He cleared his throat and started over with his makeshift German accent. "What are you doing in here?"
"I could ask you the same thing. And who're you talking to?"
"What?! I'm not talking to anyone!" He subtly pressed the "CALL END" button on the phone and showed it to _____. "See?"
_____ looked at him, her expression a mix of shock and confusion. "Ludwig? What's going on?"
Alfred was stuck. He knew he couldn't talk his way out of this––he wasn't one for reasoning like Ludwig. Instead, he did the only rational thing he could think of.
He took _____ in his arms and kissed her passionately. His lips gracefully caressed hers as he smoothly wrapped his arms around her waist.
_____'s eyes widened after a moment, and she pushed herself away. "You're not Ludwig!"
Alfred blinked, the color draining from his face.
"What the hell is going on?! Who are you?!"
Alfred sighed, and gently placed his hands on _____'s shoulders. "_____. . .it's me, Alfie."
_____ stared at him, shocked. "A-Alfie. . . ? But, ho––"
"Ludwig and I met up at the bar last night. We went to a fountain and wished that we'd switch lives. And. . .Ludwig woke up in my body, and I woke up in his."
_____ blinked several times, and she sat down, everything slowly sinking in. Her brows furrowed, then she looked up and Alfred and said, "Do you know how to reverse it?"
"We're not sure," Alfred replied. "But we think it has something to do with the fountain we were at when we made the wish. We're gonna meet back up there at seven."
_____ glanced at the wall clock. 5:15 PM. She sighed, absentmindedly clenching her fist. "We've got about two hours. Don't make yourself too comfortable."
Ludwig tapped his foot impatiently as he scanned his surroundings. Alfred should be here by now, he thought. He glanced at Alfred's watch, which read 7:08 PM. He sighed, then cocked his head toward a nearby noise. He saw his body walking toward him, relief flooding through him.
But he panicked internally when he saw _____ behind him.
He looked at Alfred, who simply said, "She knows."
Ludwig's eyes widened, and he looked at the ground. "Scheiße," he mumbled.
"Alright," said _____. "How is this going to happen?"
Alfred shrugged. "Dunno. We didn't even know it happened last night until this morning."
Ludwig looked at his wife, her arms crossed and her head downcast. He took a step toward her. "Liebe," he said.
She backed up, and he stopped, confused. She shook her head, still not looking at him.
Ludwig looked back, spotting Alfred sitting on the edge of the fountain. The American in the German's body patted the spot on the edge, and Ludwig sighed and sat beside him. The two shared a brief silence, both looking up at the stars like they had the previous night.
"Y'know she's pregnant, right?" said Alfred, making sure _____ was out of earshot.
Ludwig snapped his head to the side, staring at Alfred through wide eyes. "Was. . . ?"
Alfred nodded. "Yeah. That's what she wanted to talk about." He leaned back on his hands. "Well, lemme be the first to congratulate you." He looked at Ludwig, a small smile on his lips. "Congrats, Luddy."
Ludwig, still in shock, looked down at the ground. He nodded slightly. "D-Danke. . ."
Alfred sat back in his original position. "What's the matter?"
Ludwig shook his head, then looked back at _____. "I. . .Alfred. . .What if I'm not a good father?"
Alfred laughed, the two once again finding it strange to hear such a noise from the German's vocals. "Are you kidding? Knowing you, you'd make a great dad! You and _____. . .You'd make the perfect parents." A genuine smile graced his lips. "I know you two are gonna be happy together. And. . .that's all that matters, right?"
Ludwig felt a pang resonate in his chest. What was it? Happiness? Guilt? He wasn't sure, but it caused him to gaze sorrowfully at the ground in front of him and whisper, "I want my life back. . ."
Suddenly, the two felt a strange sensation encircle them. It felt as if they were floating, hovering above the people on the ground, watching over them like angels. And as quickly as the sensation came, it was gone.
Alfred blinked, then moved his hand to adjust the glasses on his face. He froze, his eyes widened. He whirled around and looked into the fountain water, smiling when he saw his own body in the reflection. Ludwig did the same, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Alfred laughed, launching himself at the German and hugging his neck. "Yahoo! We're back, baby!"
"Ja. . ." Ludwig's smile widened. "_____, we're––"
Ludwig stopped when he saw _____ standing at the edge of the fountain nearby. She wrapped her fingers around one of her left fingers. She gently pulled the plain silver band off her left ring finger and tossed it into the fountain.
"_____!" Ludwig ran toward her, then went to the edge of the fountain. He stepped in, being about knee-deep, and trudged through the splashing water until he found the ring. He dove his hands in to grab it, and returned to the edge and climbed out, ring clutched tightly in his fist. He stared at his wife. "_____. . .why did you do that?"
Hot tears pricked _____'s eyes. "You wished you had another life, didn't you?"
Ludwig realized now what the feeling inside him was: Guilt. The feeling pierced his heart like a knife, and he stepped toward her. "_____. . ."
"Please, don't," she said, her voice breaking. "Just don't. . ." She kept her head down, her hair hiding her face. "I. . .If you want to. . .move on. . .or go away. . .then, I won't stop yo––"
_____ was immediately cut off by Ludwig's sudden embrace. He held her tightly in his soaked arms, stroking her hair gently. "Nein," he whispered. "I never want to leave you. I never ever want to leave you again. I'm so sorry I ever wished that." He paused. "Can you forgive me, liebe?"
_____ was silent for a long moment, then looked up at him and nodded mutely. "Y-Yeah," she muttered.
A relieved smile passed the German's lips, and he shakily slipped the wedding ring back onto _____'s finger. He laid his lips on hers. "Ich liebe dich," he whispered. His fingertips lightly ran across her stomach, and his smile grew. "Ich liebe dich so sehr."
_____ smiled as well. "Ich liebe dich auch."
"Aw~! It's so sweet~!"
The two turned to looked at Alfred, each with a raised eyebrow.
The American held his hands up defensively. "Hey, don't mind me. Just keep doing what you were doing."
"By the way," said Ludwig, wrapping an arm around _____'s waist. "How did you find out that we changed bodies?"
Alfred stood up. "Well, I kinda explained it to her, but. . ." He furrowed his brows. "How did you find out I wasn't Ludwig?"
An amused smirk played across _____'s lips as she looked at Alfred. "You kissed better."
He watched the trio from his seat outside a local cafe, happily sipping his coffee. He smiled as he set his cup down on its saucer. "Well, it looks like my work here is done," he said to himself. He glanced at his watch, then stood up and re-buttoned his coat. He headed back inside the cafe and toward the exit.
"Have a good night, sir!" called one of the employees.
Arthur smiled back at him. "You, too!"
