Costa Atlantica was Italian Delight: Costa Atlantica Cruise Review by mimicsr
Overall Member Rating
Costa Atlantica was Italian Delight
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We arrived at the port at 1:30 and DH let all of us off with the luggage and parked at the Mid-port garage. We were on the ship in less than 15 minutes tops. We dropped our carry-ons off in the room and met up at the Botticelli Buffet for a late lunch. Our first More impression of the food was pretty good, especially the fresh-made pasta and Greek salad fixings. DH and I then proceeded down to our cabin to put away our clothes. We were upgraded from a regular inside to an obstructed ocean view on the 4th deck, which meant we could open the full glass doors to the outside, but had a view of a lifeboat. This was fine with us, as we are content with an inside, and anything above that is a bonus. It was great to be able to open the doors and feel the fresh air and get a glimpse of the water. The cabin was quite roomy with plenty of storage areas. The bed was somewhat firm, but our request for extra pillows was granted with a smile. Our stateroom attendant Marti also kept our little canvas cooler iced down for the duration of the cruise.
Let me cover the dining: This was our first time on Costa and I had read all of the reviews and pretty much expected not to be blown away by the food, and I was right. However, it certainly was adequate and we never went hungry. My personal opinion is that it did not measure up to Carnival, RCI, Princess, Norwegian, or Holland America, but it wasn't really bad, either; just not memorable. However, the couple sailing with us thought it was terrible. DH and I do not go on a cruise strictly for the food, so we were more than happy with all the other wonderful aspects of the cruise. We did have a great serving team at our table, and they made the dining enjoyable. We found the always-available items better than some of the featured menu items. For instance, we preferred the Caesar salad to any of the other featured salads, and the Fettucini Alfredo was very good also, so we ended up ordering those for our salad and pasta course every night. I had ordered the X-1 package for myself alone, as DH is diabetic and does not drink wine. I ended up having 2 glasses of beer every day for lunch in the dining room. At night they would bring me 1 or 2 full bottles of their white wine every evening. I kept asking them to cork it and let me have it the next night, but they said I should take it back to the room and get a new bottle the next evening. All in all, I really got my money's worth with the X-1 and would highly recommend it.
Entertainment: In our opinion this is where Costa really shines. We've been on all the lines mentioned previously and we both feel Costa surpassed them. The singers and dancers were some of the best I've ever seen. The lighting and special effects were wonderful. The Italian tenor was outstanding, as was the acrobatic act from Hungary. We really liked Andrea, the male cruise director. All the announcements in 5 languages didn't bother us at all. I love to hear all the diff. languages spoken, and the ones not in English were very brief. The performers "Duo Sunrise" who sang right outside the entrance to the bottom floor of the dining room, were superb, plus they were VERY, VERY nice. What we really loved most of all was all the opportunities to dance all over the ship which lasted until 1 a.m. every night. Never before have we experienced as many options for evening entertainment, not even on Carnival!! We danced our feetsies off!!
Regarding the ports, we did all our off-ship activities on our own, as we have been to all the ports several times. I did purchase my 5 litres of alcohol in St.Thomas. We docked at Crown Bay, so I just walked around in the nearby shops. The alcohol prices in St.Thomas were better than on the ship or in any other port, plus the allowance per person was better. Disembarkation was just as smooth as getting on the ship, and we were off and on our way to the Turnpike by 10 a.m. DH and I will definitely sail Costa again because of the entertainment and dancing. Food is not our primary concern. It was a wonderful cruise for the money. Our next cruise will be in the fall, and we are looking at another Med cruise or a transatlantic. We will definitely consider Costa again or MSC. Less

Starting 28 March, the Berlin Film Society is presenting an eight week documentary series curated from leading independent film festivals in a former railway maintenance yard.
Art and grunge go hand in hand in Berlin. Opera shows are staged in former swimming pools, contemporary art is displayed on the scruffy walls of World War II bunkers and open air raves are held in abandoned spy towers. So the Berlin Film Society's (BFS) decision to host their new event series in Urban Spree, a former railway maintenance yard, is par for the course in a city obsessed with both edgy creativity and urban decay.
Founded at the start of 2012, BFS has quickly asserted itself as a fresh cinematic force in the city, producing dynamic events characterised by films, venues and, where possible, Q&As with directors. For their latest project, Documentary Donnerstag (Documentary Thursday), which starts 28 March, the society will present a new documentary every Thursday for eight weeks – all curated from leading independent film festivals (including Cannes, Sundance, Berlinale, Raindance) and presented in their original language with English subtitles.
The programme includes the recently restored version of Shirley Clarke's groundbreaking Portrait of Jason (1967) on 11 April, a documentary about a would-be cabaret performer and self-proclaimed hustler that was lost for decades and restored in time to become a major hit at Berlin's star-studded Berlinale; Chris Marker's landmark sci-fi movie Sans Soleil (1983) on 4 April; and Jeff Malmberg's SXSW-winner Marwencol (2010) on 28 March, a documentary about the fantasy world of a man who was beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar.
Since BFS events tend to draw a diverse crowd, from hipsters to diplomats, these screenings represent a perfect opportunity to mingle with an interesting set of locals at the open rum bar, as well as catch some great independent films.
Tickets cost €8 and are available at the door, though an RSVP is recommended. And if you're in town on 5 April, the BFS will also be showing Weimar masterpiece The Blue Angel (1930) at an abandoned 1920s silent cinema that has been closed to the public since World War II.

Monthly Archives: November 2014
Since Thanksgiving is this week, I thought I would post some blast from the past pictures from Thanksgiving 2009.
I hope all my US friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
It's that wonderful time of the year again! Time to find the perfect gift for someone you love, be it your spouse, children, parent or friend. A great gift to give this year is Factory Candle Gift Set.
I love candles, but it is not always easy to find a candle that does not bring on a migraine headache for me. When Old Factory approached me to review their products, I jumped at the chance to try a different brand of candle. When they arrived, I somewhat tentatively lit the first one and took a big whiff. NO INSTANT MIGRAINE!! I was totally surprised! The candles were not over-powering and filled the room with a pleasant aroma.
Old Factory Candles are sold exclusively at amazon and come in twelve different scent sets. Below are a list of themes and their related scents:
Fall Harvest
Pumpkin Spice
Autumn Leaves
Happy Holidays
Christmas Tree
Candy Cane
Winter Wonderland
Hot Cocoa
Roasted Chestnut
First Snow
Rose Petals
Dark Chocolate
Fresh & Clean
Olive Blossom
Fresh Linen
Spa Day
Green Tea
Sea Breeze
Hawaiian Lei
Coffee Shop
Coffee Bean
Chai Tea
Man Cave
Straight Razor
High As A Kite
Bag O' Cookies
New Born Baby
Baby Powder
Baby Shampoo
First Blanket
50 Shades
Vanilla Sex
Jasmine Bubb
I chose the Winter Wonderland theme. I love the Hot Chocolate candle!
Their candles are hand-poured in the USA with natural soy wax, self trimming cotton candle wicks and premium fragrance oils. The gift sets each contain three different scented candles that burns clean and even for twenty hours. The candles come in a small 3×2 oz jar that will compliment any decor in any room of the house. Since they are so small, you may have to use more than one candle for larger rooms. I was very happy with these candles. I only wish they came in larger sizes!
I also like that Old Factory Candles are 100% guaranteed. If you don't like them, send them back at their expense and they will issue you a refund! Gift wrapping is available.
One lucky person will win an Old Factory Candle Gift Set! Giveaway is for an Amazon coupon code for Old Factory. If you do not have Amazon Prime, they will also reimburse the winner with shipping costs via Paypal. Giveaway is limited to residents of the US with an Amazon account. Good luck!

West Newton's Simeral Square set for opening
Simeral Square contractor, Dennis and Ramona Fleeher of Cecil wrapped up construction last week with a substantial completion date of May 23 and a final walkthrough on today (Thursday) at 3 p.m.
Residents, neighbors and visitors are invited to attend the Simeral Square Opening Day Celebration from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The first of weekly Farmers' Markets will include Wendel Spring Farms from Herminie and Greenawalt's Farms from West Newton featuring local vendors selling homemade jellies, apple butter, noodles, syrup, seasonal herbs, unique jar vegetables, zucchini relish and rhubarb.
In addition to fresh eggs, folks will be able to place orders for fresh raw milk. Tom's Bees will be on hand selling locally produced honey. Each month local farmers will have seasonal produce available including corn, green peppers and vine ripened tomatoes.
In the fall, corn stalks pumpkins and gourds will be available.
The Farmers' Markets are funded in part by a grant from Highmark. Also at the market will be representatives from Mary Kay, Celebrating Home and Country Home.
Music during Saturday's celebration will be provided and is donated by DJ Coop, DC LACE Productions.
At 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., special acrobatics will be performed by Ben Sota of Zany Umbrella Circus of Pittsburgh. This internationally known circus arts company will feature "My Grandfather's Circus," two, 50-minute solo shows based on stories from the Great Depression about overcoming adversity. The award-winning show was written for children in the Gulf Region affected by Hurricane Katrina and was performed at the White House. Everyday farming objects are manipulated and come to life through juggling, rope walking and other acrobatics. The performances are sponsored by a grant from the Westmoreland County Local Arts Program.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. featuring comments by Downtown West Newton Inc. representatives, public officials and funders to be followed by a balloon release.
Refreshments will be served and keepsakes will be offered.
The event is sponsored by DWNI, owner and operator of Simeral Square. Project funders include the Appalachian Regional Commission, USDA Rural Development, the Pa. Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pa. Dept. of Community and Economic Development, Westmoreland County Dept. of Planning and Community Development, the Progress Fund, The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County, The Mon Valley Initiative, the Pa. Watershed Foundation, the Pa. Port of Pittsburgh Commission and local donors through the Bricks & Amenities Campaign. Downtown West Newton, Inc. thanks everyone that supported Simeral Square – the community, public officials, donors, contractors and especially volunteers. A rain date will be announced should the event be cancelled.
Simeral Square is named for the Simeral family — early pioneers that settled in West Newton to operate a trading post and river ferry service at the site. West Newton was once known as "Simeral's Ferry." The property was most recently an abandoned gas station and dilapidated building that sat vacant for some time and has undergone an environmental cleanup.
This former brownfield has been redeveloped into a community park to be used for numerous outdoor activities throughout the summer and fall. Simeral Square is located in downtown West Newton along the Youghiogheny River and provides residents and visitors views of the river and the Great Allegheny Passage Trailhead and opportunities to spend the day in the downtown to shop and dine. To find out more about Simeral Square's Farmers' Market and other activities planned for this season, visit the DWNI website at www.dwni.org or call 724-872-0100.
George Sam is DWNI's Simeral Square project coordinator.

15th Sustainment Brigade
public affairs
During a ceremony June 30 at Fort Hood. 180th Transportation Battalion, 15th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command, cased its colors.
The ceremony was conducted outside the battalion headquarters in preparation for the battalion's upcoming deployment to Kuwait in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"Our mission statement is simple - to conduct theater level transportation operations by both land and sea in support of (Central Command) operations to include the responsible drawdown of forces in Iraq," said Lt. Col. Robert Villalobos, 180th Trans battalion commander.
Every day since the battalion redeployed in late 2006, its soldiers trained and conducted real-life missions. The soldiers, under amazing leadership, are ready to take on this mission safely and successfully, said Col. Larry Phelps, the 15th Sustainment Brigade commander.
The soldiers will provide critical transportation support from Habur Gate near Turkey to the Kuwait border and everything in between. They will be a critical link in the largest retrograde operation the Army has undertaken since World War II. They really are "Kings of the Road," Phelps said.
"Behind the scenes, the soldiers of the 180th have worked tirelessly to provide crucial transportation support to every unit on this great post.
"The statistics are impressive … 30,000 plus transportation missions, countless [material handling equipment] operations, you name it," Phelps said.
Villalobos said he was proud of his Soldiers and their achievements.
"Never before have I seen a more motivated group of Soldiers," Villalobos said. "Their accomplishments during our train-up were amazing."
Villalobos added, "Our outstanding rear detachment team, Capt. [Andy] Burrows, and Sgt. 1st Class [Linda] French are always here to support you."
Kelly Villalobos, the battalion's family readiness group leader; Burrows, the battalion's rear detachment commander; and French, the battalion's rear detachment sergeant major; are intended to be the battalion's rear detachment team.
"You [the family members] have a great leader in Kelly Villalobos and the Monarch rear detachment is ready to answer the call should you need anything," Phelps said.
"We are ready to execute our mission and to write another page in the history of the 13th Expeditionary Sustainment Command," Villalobos said.
"The Soldiers are confident, hungry and ready for the challenges that lie ahead."
Lt. Col. Robert Villalobos, battalion commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Vickie Hopson, battalion sergeant major, 180th Transportation Battalion, 15th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), case the battalion's colors during a ceremony outside of the battalion headquarters here June 30 in preparation for the battalion's upcoming deployment to Kuwait in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

A week or so ago, my wife and I drove from Santa Barbara to the University of California, Irvine, to attend a "White Coat" ceremony for the incoming class of medical students, including our son, at the UC Irvine Medical School.
It was a very impressive event and, as parents, we felt very proud of our son, as we were a couple of years earlier when our daughter graduated from law school. But what I also found impressive about the ceremony where these would-be doctors are initiated into their first step as doctors by receiving their white doctor's coat was how diverse the students were. Not only were more than half of the students women, but ethnically, the mix was likewise impressive.
As a scholar of Latinos in the United States, I paid particular attention to the number of new Latino medical students, including my son. Here again, I was impressed. A good percentage was Latinos. What is important here is that UC Irvine is ahead of the curve with respect to the number and percentage of Latinos in our medical schools. Nationally, only about 5 percent of all medical students in the country are Latinos, while the percentage of Latinos in the U.S. is about 16 percent. Many Latinos, especially immigrants, do not regularly see doctors, and some studies suggest this has to do with the lack of Latino physicians.
Latinos as a whole suffer from many illnesses, including an almost epidemic number of diabetic cases, and the lack of Latino doctors in Latino communities only compounds the problem. I recently received a small grant to begin oral histories with the few Latino physicians in the Santa Barbara area as a way of using their stories to encourage potential Latino medical students to apply and to go to medical schools. I am encouraged at the same time by the Irvine model, where clearly the medical school understands the importance of recruiting qualified Latinos to attend medical school and to challenge the national lack of Latino medical students. My hope is that other major medical schools will follow this model. Much of our nation's health could depend on this because by 2050, Latinos are project to represent one-third of the national population.

We fleshed out some interesting titles for you to check out and a good amount of them are pretty humorous. The first 5 on the list are free, so put a smile on that face and have a go.

Yeah, you can grab Icebreaker; Oscura; Castle of Illusion; VVVVVV at the Play Store, but they are not discounted there right now.

Doesn't matter if they're free if they use the F2P system to remove game content from the gameplay and lock it behind virtual currency walls you need to spend $100a or even over 1000 to tap into your full or near full potential

Used 1998 Mercury Values
Several Mercury products receive significant tweaks for the 1998 model year. The most noticeable changes are seen with the 1998 Mercury Mystique and the Grand Marquis.

Mercury's largest sedan, the Grand Marquis, enters 1998 with a new front end appearance as well as several mechanical modifications. Improved braking, cooling system and an upgraded rear suspension have been added to the 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis. Mercury's sport utility Mountaineer gains a new base six-cylinder engine with available ControlTrac all-wheel drive and an updated grille appearance. Added to the Mercury division for 1997, the recently redesigned Tracer compact vehicle is offered with a sedan or wagon body style with no major changes for its sophomore year.

National Council for Voluntary Organisations Scholarship
NCVO Scholarship to support the University of Kent's MA Civil Society, NGO and Non-profit Studies
The School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research has created a bespoke scholarship for appropriately qualified individuals from organisations with membership of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO). The £2,000 scholarship for tuition fees is available on a competitive application basis.
We believe this scholarship scheme is needed because many British voluntary organisations lack the extensive budgets to enable their staff to benefit from higher level degree programmes, yet face enormous social, economic, political and policy pressures at the current moment. Staff and organisations require access to leading knowledge and analytic approaches relating to civil society in order to help them navigate and negotiate these challenges. Kent's NCVO Scholarship is designed to address this need by making this access more affordable to such organisations.
The Civil Society, NGO and Non-profit Studies Master's is unique in its combination of specialist civil society research and teaching expertise honed over two decades, attending to the third sector, philanthropy and social movements; and more general social science options, covering research methods and a range of social and policy topics. These are designed to equip students with a wide range of transferable competences, skills and capabilities relevant to careers not only in the third sector, but in government and business too.
We are delighted to be collaborating in this way with the NCVO to help strengthen the capacity of voluntary or third sector organisations in Britain.
How to apply
Reward of the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research's NCVO Scholarship will be made on a competitive basis.

(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that President Barack Obama chose to embrace so-called "super PACs" (political action committees) for his re-election campaign so that billionaire philanthropists Charles H. Koch and David G. Koch would not "decide who the next President would be."
"The president made a decision, which I think was a wise one, that he was not going to unilaterally disarm and leave the field to the Koch brothers to decide who will be president of the United States and would control the Congress, and his commitment was for full disclosure," Pelosi said.
The Kochs, who serve as president and executive vice president of Koch Industries -- the second largest privately held company in the U.S. -- are benefactors of primarily conservative and libertarian causes.
Pelosi's comments came during a press conference to announce support for the Disclose Act, which would require political action committees (PACs) to release the identities of their top donors.
She was asked by a reporter: 'In the interim before Congress is to enact this, do you think that Super PACs who support both the president's campaiugn and the Congressional Democratic campaign should voluntarily disclose -- "
Interrupting with a response of "absolutely," Pelosi defended the president, who once called unlimited campaign fundraising by corporations a "threat to democracy," and praised his decision to now rely on Super PACs for the 2012 campaign.
"And by the way, we're asking people to contribute to us if they want to elect more reformers to Congress, so that we can do away with super PACs, we can do away with secret contributions, we can reform the system, we can amend the constitution to overturn the Citizens United decision," Pelosi added.
Others in the House Democratic leadership also weighed in.
"I'm a big baseball fan. I've never been to a baseball game, ever, where one side was told you don't get bats," said Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.). "He's going to compete, fairly and effectively, and as the Leader said, nobody should expect this President to cede the election to Karl Rove and the Koch brothers."
The Disclose Act's sponsor, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), said the bill would make super PACs more transparent and accountable, and "get rid of secret money" in politics.
Among other things, the proposal would require super PACs to identify the top five donors for each political ad, require corporations to inform their shareholders of their campaign spending, and have leaders of super PACs provide an approval message at the end of each ad.
In 2010, in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not limit the amount of political campaign contributions made by corporations and other organizations. The decision created super PACs -- independent political action committees that can accept unlimited contributions anonymously, but can have no contact with the political candidates they support.
During his 2011 State of the Union address, President Obama criticized the Supreme Court, saying: "With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that, I believe, will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections."

Older toilets use 13 or more litres per flush. New low flush toilets require only 4.8 litres per flush. Toilets make up 30 percent of indoor water use. Using one-third less water means you can save 200 litres a day or 70,000 litres a year. By replacing your old toilet, you could use up to one-third less water!
The Town of Ladysmith is offering a lifetime maximum of two $75 rebates per residence or business. This offer is valid for toilets purchased after May 1, 2005. Toilet Rebate Application
This offer is only for owners of buildings that are connected to the Town's water and sewer systems. The rebate is valid for toilet retrofits only. Renovations installing an additional toilet, and new buildings, are not eligible. There is a lifetime limit of two toilet rebates per residential or commercial unit.
Simple toilet replacements do not require a plumbing permit; however, if you are renovating or building new, you must apply for a building permit.
The removed toilet must not be used as a working toilet again, for example it can not be taken to the "RE" store or given to someone else to use. Old toilets can be dropped off for a nominal fee at Peerless Road Drop-off Depot, 10830 Peerless Road, Ladysmith.
There are many web sites and retailers to help you decide. The Town cannot recommend specific brands, but toilets must be CSA approved, high efficiency 4.8 litre flush or a dual 3 & 6 litre flush toilet. Toilets may be installed by the resident or by a licensed plumber. Low-flush toilets install like any other toilet.
Complete the application form and include original receipt for proof of purchase and verifying that the new toilet is CSA approved, high efficiency 4.8 litre flush or a dual 3 & 6 litre flush toilet. Mail or drop off application to City Hall, 410 Esplanade, PO Box 220, Ladysmith, BC V9G 1A2, 250.245.6400.
Toilet Rebate Application
Town staff will review your application and, if you qualify, apply a credit for $75 per eligible low flush or dual flush toilet (up to two toilets per residence or commercial unit) to your utility account.
Submission of an application does not guarantee a rebate, and receipts must be dated after May 1, 2005.

LENOX TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A 42-year-old Lenox Township man has been arrested on charges he hit his step-child with a broom.
The Macomb County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to a 911 call from a home on Place Road Wednesday and found two children, ages 8 and 13, with their step-father -- Avila Vigneau.
Deputies said Vigneau admitted to hitting the 13-year-old with a broom because he was upset with the children's behavior.
Deputies said they noticed bruises on the victim.
Vigneau is charged with felonious assault.

MOSS POINT — The Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) and Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) held the grand opening of the new Grand Bay Coastal Resources Center Dec. 7. The center is located at 6005 Bayou Heron Road in Moss Point.
The 20,000-square-foot facility, which serves as headquarters for the NERR, features a public interpretive area, office space, laboratories, classrooms and a dormitory. It is one of the "greenest" buildings in Mississippi and demonstrates low-impact development design and construction technologies, which create a healthy environment for staff and visitors, reduces operational costs and ultimately demonstrates a commitment to the environment.
"We wanted a building that provides a healthy work environment for staff and visitors, with reduced operational cost and a commitment to the environment and the future," said NERR manager David Ruple. "Since our job includes stewardship, we felt it was important for us to set a good example by aiming for sustainability in both design and function."
The center's architects designed the facility to meet the "gold" standard for certification as a LEED building by the U.S. Green Building Council. The design utilized a variety of concepts to meet the challenges of "building green," including restored landscape, native vegetation, reduced water consumption, north-south building orientation, use of daylighting and other energy-saving strategies, low-emission building materials, pervious concrete, stormwater management, innovative wastewater reduction, optimization of energy performance systems, construction waste management, recycled content of construction materials, controllability of mechanical systems, Green Guard-certified furniture and rainwater collection cisterns.
The designers also worked with the Mississippi Forestry Commission and the National Wildlife Refuge to include several "firewise" features in the construction of the center and the landscaping. Firewise is a program developed to enable homeowners to live compatibly with nature, using elements of landscaping and building construction to reduce the threats of wildfire. Firewise features include fire-managed landscape, fuel reduction, control of invasive plants, fire break around the facility, metal roof, metal foundation, fire protection system, retention ponds, native vegetation, drought-resistant vegetation and mechanical clearing.
NOAA provided $6.5 million of the $9 million cost of the facilities planning, furnishings and building construction. The facility is a state-owned building, constructed on National Wildlife Refuge property and represents an excellent example of a working partnership between U.S. Department of Interior and U.S. Department of Commerce programs.

What If Companies Fessed Up?
When companies settle big lawsuits, they rarely own up to having done anything wrong. Instead, officers sign a carefully worded legal document in which the corporation neither admits nor denies misconduct. This vague language paves the way for the charade of CEOs spending hundreds of millions of dollars to make regulators and plaintiffs' lawyers go away -- then holding press conferences in which they suggest that, despite the enormous payoff, the company was victimized by overzealous opponents.
Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Galvin wants to put an end to this now-familiar legal fiction. He's calling on fellow regulators to forgo the "neither admit nor deny" language in cases of clear fraud and strike tougher deals in which companies are forced to admit that they engaged in unlawful conduct. That's just what he did in the fall with Franklin Templeton Investments (BEN ) and last April with Putnam Investments (MMC ) -- two mutual-fund companies that allowed privileged investors to make rapid-fire trades that worked to the disadvantage of long-term stakeholders.
This is a potentially revolutionary idea. For companies, the difference between admitting misconduct and fudging the issue is vast. If more regulators start following Galvin's lead, it would be easier for plaintiffs' lawyers to win fraud lawsuits. Insurers might balk at providing coverage for directors and officers. And managers at the periphery of illegal activity would have a harder time holding on to their jobs.
Galvin's goal is to inflict a punishment that truly stings -- unlike monetary fines, which can be a fraction of illicit profits and thus can easily be waved off by aggressive execs as a cost of doing business. It's the same reformist impulse that earlier this month motivated New York State Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi, trustee of the New York State Common Retirement Fund, the lead plaintiff in an investor lawsuit against WorldCom Inc. (MCIP ), to insist that the company's directors use personal funds to settle the case. "How seriously are you going to take securities law if it's going to be a game of touch football?" says Galvin. "The only way you're going to get significant change is when you start treating things seriously -- and an admission of guilt is serious."
The Securities & Exchange Commission is now studying whether it should press harder for companies to acknowledge wrongdoing. Commissioner Harvey J. Goldschmid expects the five SEC commissioners to discuss the issue by March. But while Goldschmid is no fan of the current system, he worries that corporate defendants would fight far more aggressively if they were routinely forced to acknowledge breaking the law. That in turn would drive up the cost of investigations and limit the agency, which brought 639 cases in the last fiscal year, to pursuing a fraction as many of them. If the SEC had to push for broad admissions, "it would be a terrible waste of government resources," says Goldschmid. "We'd have to go to trial. The stakes would be so large."
Indeed, the whole cost-benefit calculation for most corporate fraud cases would change if regulators ceased allowing defendants to dodge liability. Under long-standing legal rules, admissions made in governmental proceedings can be entered as evidence in private litigation. This reduces the burden of proof for plaintiffs' lawyers -- and in some cases would render companies essentially defenseless as to their underlying liability in related cases. "It's a road map for private lawsuits," says Joel Seligman, dean of the Washington University School of Law in St. Louis.
In the Putnam and Franklin cases, the degree to which their admissions will help cheated customers is unclear. Despite Galvin's claims about his innovative settlements, both deals contain fine print intended to make it harder for plaintiffs' lawyers to use the confessions in court. Specifically, there are clauses stating that the admissions are solely for the purpose of settlement in the Massachusetts cases. Still, this language does not provide the companies with ironclad protection, according to John P. Freeman, a professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law.
Above and beyond liability, an equally important concern for companies is insurance. Typical directors and officers (D&O) policies cover some regulatory fines, private settlements, and legal defense costs. But they also contain exceptions for executives who commit crimes or frauds. While insurers are usually willing to pay up in the typical case in which executives avoid a finding of liability, they would have a good argument for withholding payment from managers who acknowledged that they violated the law.
Thus, the consequences of admitting wrongdoing can be severe. But Galvin and others insist the fallout is nothing more than defendants deserve. What's more, the potential benefits of corporate admissions might in some cases outweigh the costs of obtaining them. For one thing, they would put more pressure on boards and top managers to clean house. More important, they would send a clear signal to employees that malfeasance is unacceptable -- a message that is all too often undermined when the CEO fails to acknowledge that anybody has done anything illegal. Coming after an era of unprecedented corporate crime, such candor might be a welcome change.

SWINDON Town was to become a feeder club for Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur when Lee Power took over as director of football, a High Court judge heard yesterday.
On what was the second day of the hearing determining who owns the club, former chairman Jed McCrory alleged Power had targeted Town for the feeder model after unsuccessful attempts elsewhere.
Speaking from the witness box at the High Court, McCrory said Power had come to Town's attention as somebody who could facilitate transfers, especially loan deals through Spurs owing to his close friendship with Tim Sherwood, technical director at the time.
McCrory said Power was brought in as an agent and director of football, tasked with bringing the wage bill down from £3.4m to £2m.
"On the basis of Lee coming, he was trying to create a feeder club with Tottenham Hotspur," said the former Town chief.
"He wanted this position in order to create a feeder club model."
In his own evidence given on the first day of the hearing, Power touched upon his relationship with Sherwood and why he would have been interested in seeing a group of his players on loan at one club.
"He (Tim Sherwood) had a group of players who were very difficult to have watched," he said.
"Tim was looking for a club which he could have his players sent out to in a package, have them watched and played in a certain style."
Over the last 14 months Town have brought a string of young Tottenham prospects to the County Ground on loan including Massimo Luongo, Alex Pritchard, Nathan Byrne and Grant Hall.
Power has previously denied any formal feeder link with Tottenham.
Current Town chairman Power also shone the light on how he first came to put the £1.2m up which would ultimately lift the transfer embargo at the County Ground and allow the trade of players ahead of last season.
"Martin King approached me and said they were looking for players still," said Power.
"When I arranged that deal (loan signings from Spurs) I got told none of them had any money and would go into administration with the embargo."
Power said he would come on-board and offer a short-term loan to lift the embargo.
The hearing continues with a judgement expected next week.

Great cruise, didn't want to leave when the voyage was over: Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review by DaveEasternPenn
Overall Member Rating
Great cruise, didn't want to leave when the voyage was over
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Embarkation: One tip here, allow more than enough time for your embarkation process, simply because the traffic entering the cruise port is pretty bad. There are security checkpoints before entering the main port (6-7 ships were leaving at basically the same time)and the 4-5 lines of traffic moved very slowly. Once past that, Celebrity was very organized. Drop your bags off with the porter, and enter the terminal. Our line had about 30-40 people ahead of us, but there had to be approximately 20 people checking you in, so the wait was only about 15 minutes. Then the ID pictures are taken. We arrived at the terminal at 11:30, and More were boarding the ship 20 minutes later, so it was very fast and efficient.
We had lunch at the Ocean View Cafe, and our stateroom was ready at 1:15 (public announcements are made). Our bags were delivered at about 2:00.
Ship information: Spotless, sophisticated decor, contemporary, very clean ship. I was a little worried about time spent waiting for elevators with 2800 passengers, but it wasn't a problem at all. There are 8 elevators at mid ship with another group in the forward part of the ship. At times we had to wait for a second elevator to have room, but this was not the norm. This was a pleasant surprise.
Activities: Both the entertainment and activities were first class. We attended the main Silhouette Theater 4 nights, and enjoyed all of the, particularly the "Cirque du Soleil" type show on Thursday. We had concerns that we might be a little bored during the two sea days, but it was just the opposite. We had to make choices of which activity to participate in. Definitely go to the Galley tour, the Captains presentation in the main theatre, the engineer officer's presentation, the celestial navigation on the top deck. There are also lectures by naturalists, and authors, audience participation "celebrity chef" cook-offs, family feud games, trivia. There is really a lot to do, and the high energy staff makes it a lot of fun.
Service: Service was top notch. Stateroom steward (Dominidor) couldn't have been more helpful. It seemed like every time we left the room, we came back and the room had been straightened, cleaned, etc. He delivered feather pillows within 5 minutes, delivered beach towels the night before a beach excursion, and was very professional. The staff at the excursion and guest relations desk were always friendly and helpful. Another positive example was in the Grand Cuvee dining room. We had dinner reservations at 6:15, but wanted to see the early show at 7:00. We thought we' be late, but mentioned it to the hostess as we checked in. All of the waiters and servers mentioned this time schedule to us, and we were able to leave and make the show on time, after three courses were served very quickly. This is really good communication and customer service.
Stateroom: Sophisticated and spotless. The room was bigger than I thought it would be. I had read some complaints about space for luggage and clothes, and bathroom toiletry items, but we had no problem. There were more hangers than most hotel rooms have, and we were able to put everything away, and store all the luggage under the bed. Shoes, hats, bulky items were put away in the storage above the bed, which was easy to reach. The bathroom has four shelves with a glass door, that is more than adequate. The curved shower has adequate space, and the water pressure was very good. I was surprised that the flat screen TV had many channels available (CNN, Fox, ESPN, Sky, BBC, and a few others). Also many free movies, and a great navigation channel that shows where the ship is, speed, wind speed, heading, etc.
Dining: Very happy with the high quality, variety and presentation of the food. Most nights were in the Grand Cuvee (MDR), and most breakfasts and sea day lunches were in the Ocean View Cafe buffet. The Ocean View has stations for omelet's and eggs Benedict, where the wait was only 4-5 minutes after ordering, along with a wide variety of other items. We ate our breakfasts on the rear deck overlooking the ocean, which was lovely. The Grand Cuvee had a good variety, for all tastes. Veal chops, lobster, chicken cordon bleu, lamb, steak, multiple fish entrees, wild berry soup, all very good. We did not try any of the specialty restaurants, since we were so satisfied with the MDR. Also don't miss the hamburgers at the pool bar (Mast Cafe).
Disembarkation: Very organized on Celebrity's part. Leave your main bag outside your stateroom door before 11:00 P.M., and your attendant gives you luggage tags that are numbered. Our number was 17. The next morning assemble in the main theatre at your appointed time (ours was 9:00 A.M.), and wait for your number to be called. The wait was about 30 - 45 minutes. The lines are long in the terminal. After retrieving your bags, they are set in rows according to your number, then the wait for customs was pretty long. There were only three customs inspectors (due to the Sequester budget cuts we heard), so the wait there was about 45 minutes. Then the cab lines are long, so a little advice, don't schedule an early flight if you are leaving the same day. Give your self enough time.
Summary: We were extremely pleased with this voyage on Celebrity's Silhouette, and already thinking about our next cruise, especially on the Solstice class ships. Less

One year after our Orange Revolution, many Ukrainians see its ideals as betrayed. Belief in a government answerable to the people and in a transparent market purged of insider dealing no longer guides government policy. Instead, the ideals for which we struggled appear as slogans invoked by those who want to protect their vested interests.
Cynics explain this by saying that our AOrange" ideals were never anything but the rationalizations of one set of oligarchs struggling to overthrow another. Once masters of the situation, it is said, the zeal of those who promised reform mutated into a zeal to preserve their private wealth and that of their friends.
How did Ukraine reach this state of cynicism? A year ago, everyone gathered in the streets of Kyiv knew what we were standing up against: a corrupt government that sought to command life and labor, and to dispose of state property, at its will. In so far as formal legal rights existed, no court could be relied upon to enforce those rights when our rulers saw their interests as challenged.
In evicting that regime, we believed that this form of absolutism was ended. Instead, those who benefited from the regime=s corruptions insisted that their rights to the property they had stolen were inviolate. These crony capitalists argue that, if they are left alone to develop their assets, they will make the country prosperous. Tamper with property, no matter how ill-gotten, and no investor will have confidence, they claim.

I always find it presumptuous to write about myself but there's no
way around this I guess! I'm the kind of person you can trust with
a secret, since I guard my privacy equally as fervid as anyone else
i guess. I do like people who are not afraid to be themselves and
who are not deluded in a false sense of this is right and that is
wrong. i like people who take risk (calculated at least) and who
are not afraid to step up to the plate. I know it sounds somewhat
militant, but trust me, I just don't like playing games.
I do enjoy sex a lot but I am always safe and clean and expect the
other person to be as well; definitely mandatory. I'm open to
anything and everything under the sun and I don't mean just
sexually. i want to have an intelligent conversation with the
person I have sex with; I'm interested in you upper head as well as
your lower one...LOL!
Please don't be afraid to ask me anything or to approach me with
anything; what's the worst that can happen.....Exactly! Anyway I
hope I hear from some of you soon.
I am Artistic, Spiritual, and Direct
Not necesarily in that order :)

Abdullah Gul, the Turkish president, said his country had lost its confidence in Syria, adding "there is no place for totalitarian regimes and one-party systems. Clearly these will change either by force of by political initiative taken by leaders of these states". Syria earlier objected to an Arab League statement demanding an end to the bloody crackdown. In the latest violence, activists said at least five people were killed by government troops across the country on Sunday.

Tthere was also a three per cent drop in company closures during the third quarter, leading to an overall increase in net company growth.
Managing director of Duport.co.uk, Peter Valaitis, said: "The rise in company formations is a fantastic sign that business confidence is on the up in Blackburn, while the drop in closures suggests that trading conditions are improving."

Surveying the ashes of his marriage, jaded rocker Joby (Dano) embarks on an overnight drive hoping to reconnect with his estranged six year-old Ellen (Mandigo).
Finding fleeting human warmth amidst the awkward silences and unprepossessing locations, this tale of a never-has-been rocker building a relationship with his six year-old daughter is wryly witty, deeply touching and creditably played by Paul Dano and Shaylena Mandigo.
Awkward, spartan storytelling from Korean director So Yong Kim that captures the tender heart of family bonds.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I personalized this card for my soon to be sister in law's bridal shower and I could not be happier. The paper is high quality and textured. The ink is bright and printed exactly as it is shown in the pictures. The other party hosts were thrilled when they saw the invitations I chose, both thought they were "happy and cute". I would definitely buy again, the only downside was having to pay 70 cents per card for postage as they are a "small and odd" shape according to the post office."
"The colors were accurately presented in this card. Beautiful, cheerful and very good quality! Review service was quick and helpful in personalizing my invitation. The delivery was on time as well."
"I loved the design from the start but was quite impressed at the weight of the card stock when the cards arrived (having not paid extra for the heavier stock), additionally, I LOVE the texture, which was a pleasant surprise. Customer service was excellent (real human contact to clarify my instructions -- REFRESHING)! These cards are for a very special niece. I know they will set the tone for what will be a very special party; a gift from me to her. I was delighted with the modifications made to the "recipe" cards ordered in the same design. I wish I had known about the option for the rectangular envelopes (to save postage as well as fit the recipe cards w/o folding)."
"These cards are beautiful. The colours are vibrant and just as described. The cards almost look handmade because the flowers have a water color look. I am very satisfied with my order and would recommend these pretty dainty cards."
"As always, I am very happy with the invitations I ordered. WPD offers so many styles and designs! I have always been able to find one to match the event I am planning. Most impressive with this order is that I selected the New Super Rush delivery. I had my order in LESS THAN 36 HOURS FROM WHEN I PLACED THE ORDER! I will always return to WPD and will recommend them to all my friends."

A Series of Unfortunate Events, starring Jim Carrey, took $30.2m (£15.5m) in its debut weekend.
Ocean's 12 fell to number two while new entry Spanglish entered the chart at number three, taking $9m (£4.6m).
A Series of Unfortunate Events also stars Scottish comedian Billy Connelly, while Carrey takes on a number of different roles in the surreal film.
The only other new entry in the top 10 was re-make, Flight of the Phoenix, at number eight, starring Dennis Quaid.
Carrey entertained crowds at the UK premiere of Lemony Snicket in London on Friday.
The actor grabbed co-star Meryl Streep and whisked her around Leicester Square.
Based on the cult children's books by author Daniel Handler, the film follows three children who are orphaned when their parents die in a fire.
They are taken in by their wicked uncle Count Olaf, played by Carrey, who schemes to get his hands on their fortune.

The Gillard Government has been urged to expand its controversial mining tax to include copper, uranium and gold at a Senate inquiry into the tax this morning.
Leading economist Dr Richard Denniss from the Australia Institute said mining taxes were an efficient and effective way for governments to raise money, but he said the mining tax imposed on Australia over the past nine months had been developed in a poor way.
Dr Denniss said the exclusive focus of the tax on iron ore and coal miners was too narrow, and other commodities like gold, uranium and copper should have been included too.
''We should simplify the tax by broadening it,'' he said.
''There is no reason to have excluded gold and we would be collecting a lot more revenue now if gold was included.''
When asked if all minerals should be included, Dr Denniss agreed.
When challenged that many minerals were not currently making the super profits that iron ore and coal have in recent years, Dr Denniss said the tax could be structured in way that would allow poorly performing sectors to avoid paying anything.
''On a conceptual level if you like it for one asset you like it for all assets,'' he said.
The Labor Party has previously resisted calls from the Greens for further minerals to be included under the tax, and new Resources Minister Gary Gray has also ruled out tinkering with the tax.
The mining tax was famously devised by Ms Gillard in partnership with three major mining companies – BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Xstrata – and Dr Denniss said a better outcome would have been achieved if more people, including the state governments, had been involved in the process.
''If we had have had a more transparent process we would have had some more people putting ideas on the table,'' he said.
The Senate inquiry is set to run all day in parliament house, and the schedule includes Treasury Secretary Dr Martin Parkinson and key figures from the Australian Tax Office.

Nars Hydrating Moisture Cream Reviews
Mmmm, how do I respond?I tried this product and was saddened that it didn't live up to its price. Its very light and non-greasy, but there is nothing special I can say about it, other than its quite expensive and comes in teeny tiny packaging. I really wish that I could say something significant considering how expensive it is, but I cannot. Its nice enough, but save your money. — 8 years agoLady_in_Bloom | 60 reviews

Move deeper: Summer heat can squelch the bite. Use depth to keep any action going. For inshore anglers, 10- to 20-foot depths may be considered deep while offshore fishermen are seeking depths of more than 100 feet. Extreme skinny water enthusiasts will be most productive on the highest tides.
Artificial intelligence: Adding submerged structure to deeper water often concentrates fish. Artificial reefs are good places to start, with several inside the bay as well as out to near shore and offshore waters of the gulf. Their coordinates are published publicly and not considered secret spots. There are particular hot spots within the artificial reef systems. Precise anchoring is often needed to hold the boat over these locations for the best productivity.
Catch list: A wide variety of fish can be caught during summer. For the most opportunities, cover the entire water column with baits presented at the surface, mid-water and on the bottom. Common inshore catches now could include redfish, snook, trout, pompano, tarpon, mackerel and sharks. Expect offshore catches to include snapper, grouper, grunts, amberjack, barracuda, bonito and more.

March that time of year most dreaded by Floridians. Its an extremely popular vacation month for northerners flocking to the Sunshine State looking for free food and lodging for an indeterminate number of days or weeks.
"Hello. We just got into town and thought wed stop by to see you.
(Translation: "Get the guest bedroom ready and prepare to entertain us.")
Some Floridians dont take telephone calls at this time of year, choosing instead to let their answering machine do the talking. "Hi, Weve gone to South America and wont be back until May 15. There are 23 motels within three miles of here. Have a great vacation."
I even know Floridians who have sold their sofas and replaced them with chairs or love seats. Spare bedrooms have been converted to sewing or computer rooms any theme that doesnt have a bed.
One lady even keeps a suitcase by the front door so if she is surprised by northerners "dropping in," she can say, "I was just packing for a 3 p.m. flight to Canada."
Theres a saying down here that goes like this: "House guests and dead fish have one thing in common its time to throw them out after three days."
Perfect house guests are hard to come by, so I have established a criteria for area residents drawing a bead in friends or relatives in Florida.
Arent hooked on sugar-free, fat-free food. They arent vegetarians. Theyll eat anything.
Arrive with a case of liquor.
Are satisfied with corn flakes for breakfast.
Know how to make a bed, vacuum a carpet and wash dishes.
Are not insomniacs. They adapt to your schedule.
Hang up towels and make sure the shower curtain is on the inside of the tub.
Dont expect to stay a month just because they lived beside you in Ohio or gave birth to you.
Never touch your TV remote control.
Leave when they promise ... or sooner.
Have a nice trip.

The first time Ashley saw Kisha's bare bottom, Ashley was making out with an ex-girlfriend. So begins the story of two women who seemed destined NOT to be together.
Ashley was a lady-killer and proud of it; Kisha was sexually conservative and straight. Intrigued, Ashley's doggy ways turned to dogged determination as she watched one after another of her surefire moves fail to get her into Kisha's pants.
Finally, Ashley's persistence paid off: Kisha's ambivalence gave way to curiousity, her curiousity gave way to desire, and ultimately desire blossomed into love.

Children at Bitham Brook Primary School in Westbury recently held a medieval day.
All the children in two classes dressed up as knights, lords and ladies and took part in learning activities including jousting, medieval dancing, archery and making and decorating medieval purses.
The children also cooked and shared a banquet, with authentic medieval food.
The day culminated in a 'dubbing' ceremony, during which the children promised to always do their best to be good, truthful and to defend the weak and were knighted by Lady Roff.
Lady Roff (aka teacher Mrs Rolf) said, "The children really entered into the day with great enthusiasm and commitment.
"They were real knights and ladies for the day and learned so much."

Event Coverage Sponsored by
The Society of Flavor Chemists held its 7th Annual West Coast Flavor Industry Forum on March 8, in Anaheim, California. The event was a joint meeting with The National Association of Flavors and Food-Ingredient Systems (NAFFS) and the Chemical Sources Association (CSA). The SFC board meetings in the morning were followed by a networking lunch. The forum started at 1 pm and lasted till 4:30 with three speakers presenting. First, Len Walsh (acting chief, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health-CAL/OSHA) discussed the regulation of exposure to flavorings in California. He highlighted CAL/OSHA's Voluntary Special Emphasis Program with California flavoring manufacturers; the status of the petition filed with CAL/OSHA's board requesting an Emergency Temporary Standard for exposure to diacetyl; and the material safety data sheets for diacetyl and other flavorings.
A.M. Todd's Kelly Cole (sales manager) and Christine Daley (technical sales manager) followed with a basic course in Mint 101. This presentation addressed the new varieties of mint developed by A.M. Todd, the present market situation, and an odor evaluation of different "types" of mint.
Lastly, Brian M. Lawrence (editor-in-chief of The Journal of Essential Oil Research and columnist for Perfumer & Flavorist magazine) talked about commercial essential oils and why the compositions of oils vary from year to year. In addition, he discussed how to detect authenticity through chiral analysis, sniff NMR and isotopes.
Following the speakers, a networking reception with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails was held.

A DISUSED factory site in Halesowen is being brought back to life in a £275,000 development by an expanding family firm.
Natural stone supplier Digby Trading has already cleared the Hayseech Road eyesore - where MV Components burned down several years ago – to create a large storage yard.
And this week, Dudley planners gave the go-ahead for the firm to build offices, which it is hoped will be ready by August.
The business is run by husband and wife Darren and Claire Digby, who snapped up the 3.8 acres after securing a loan from the commercial wing of Lloyds Bank.
Mrs Digby said it was a "big project" for the company, which has outgrown its Stourbridge offices and Oldbury yard.
She said: "It's a great opportunity and very exciting times."
Digby Trading currently employs 10 people and the move will create another two jobs initially, with the potential for more in the future.
Mr Digby, who had previously worked in the industry as a self-employed block paver and with Mogul Concrete, started the business in 2008.
The couple, who have not borrowed finance before, were able to show the bankers the limited company was built on a sound base.
Mrs Digby added: "The purchase of the new Midlands site is an important growth opportunity for the business, and the funding provided by Lloyds Bank has been crucial in allowing us to increase the quantity of stone we can import, and will also enable us to continue to expand our line of products.
The company sources and imports a range of natural stone products from India and China, which it sells to trade retailers across the country for use in patio and garden design.
It was recently recognised for its commitment of service and quality of products when it was named the 2013 Civil Engineering and Landscaping supplier of the year.
