Sharp develops efficient solar cells for use in outer space
Earlier this year, we reported twice about Japan's serious plans to go to outer space to generate solar energy and then beam it back to Mother Earth. And today, Sharp has shown the first solar cell that's not only bendable (we've seen that before) but that also withstands conditions in space. In addition, the company says those cells boast a record-high solar efficiency of 36%. Read More
'Readius' foldable screen thing is real and it's coming
From concept to actual product, the Readius is coming in "mid-2008" (though not solely as an e-book reader). It will use the same electronic ink technology as Amazon's Kindle reader although this bendable-display device will apparantly be launched as a cell phone with a 5-inch fold-out screen. The catch? No web browser. So close, huh? The Readius will have high-speed… Read More
Want to Buy the Slinky Chair?
Remember the Slinky Chair? It was featured on the Feb. 8th episode of Diggnation, where Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht repeatedly mentioned the hot Japanese girl in the video. Actually, the girl is probably Chinese because Mandarin is overheard in the clip, but whatever. I guess we all look the same to you, Kevin and Alex. It turns out the chair is available online for $800. The FlexibleLove… Read More
Make Your Own iPhone
I was browsing TechCrunch earlier and I ran across this printout iPhone, sure to be the hot item this side of June. And given the price of the iPhone it might be as close as many of us get to Apple's mythical device once it actually comes out. Anyway, just print-and-fold and you've got yourself an iPhone. It won't actually function, of course, but I'm sure… Read More

If you've had a sense of deja vu about Kevin Rudd's second prime ministership, you're not imagining it.
A day-by-day comparison of the first month of Rudd 1.0 and the first month of Rudd 2.0 reveals how faithfully the restored Labor leader has been copying from the political playbook of his favourite former PM.
In the 30 days since since he toppled Julia Gillard on June 26, Mr Rudd has been on a frenetic run of whistlestop public appearances, news conferences, policy announcements and soft diplomacy photo opportunities.
It has been a whirlwind matched only by his schedule after winning the November 2007 election, when a relentless agenda of travel and media appearances led to the nicknames ''Kevin 747'' and ''Kevin 24/7'' and, ultimately, allegations by party colleagues of ''dysfunctional decision making'' and ''chaos''.
One key difference second time around has been the reborn Prime Minister's passionate embrace of social media, right down to sharing pictures of a shaving cut.
Since his return to the top job, daily appearances on the hustings have remained a priority before calling the election, while in 2007, he played the statesman with trips to Indonesia, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan before celebrating Christmas at The Lodge.
In the past week, Mr Rudd has visited Queensland, the ACT, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia, updating his movement on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, which he joined in 2008.
Former communications director to Julia Gillard and senior director at FTI Consulting Russell Mahoney said Mr Rudd's pace proved a campaign was under way. ''We can pretend that the campaign hasn't started but everybody knows that it has, regardless of when he actually calls an election date,'' Mr Mahoney said. ''Even his worst detractors would say that his best asset is his campaigning skill.''
But politicians risked leaving the public in a ''blur'' if they appeared to be doing too much, too quickly.
''In my view, there's a risk if Labor were to win and Rudd was to continue at this sort of public pace after an election: I think people would start to wonder why he is spending so much time in front of television cameras,'' he said. ''[Mr Rudd] seems to be able to connect with people on social media in that sort of folksy, dadsy kind of way. That is going to grate with some people, of course, but anything a politician does is going to grate with some people.''
In the past month Mr Rudd has generated more than 50 front page headlines in Fairfax Media's Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra newspapers and his prolific ''selfies'' and updates on social media have been shared by tens of thousands.
Within days of defeating John Howard in November 2007, Mr Rudd had received calls from world leaders including then US President George W. Bush and British prime minister Gordon Brown, while this year, he used Instagram to publicise his talks with Barack Obama and East Timor President Jose Maria de Vasconcelos.
In 2007, Mr Rudd hosted then New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark on the veranda at his home in Brisbane - the same informal setting for private talks with Papua New Guinean Prime Minister Peter O'Neill over his controversial PNG ''solution'' to thwart people-smugglers.
Barely three weeks into his prime ministership in 2007, Mr Rudd used a United Nations summit in Bali to label climate change the ''defining challenge of our generation''. Barely three weeks back in the job this year, he declared Ms Gillard's politically toxic carbon tax ''terminated'' and outlined a switch to a floating price emissions trading scheme.
In 2007, Mr Rudd pledged an apology to the stolen generations. In 2013, he described himself as the first Australian prime minister to be a ''fully signed-up supporter of marriage equality''.
Mr Rudd's website lists more than 44 interview transcripts, statements and news releases since he returned as Prime Minister. He is scheduled to appear on Channel Ten's The Bolt Report on Sunday.

Acerca del creador
After spending most of my years teaching in the public school system, retiring to a life of collecting and photographing beach treasures has been a dream come true. Lately, though, my interests have leaned toward writing, so to combine all of my hobbies together, I've started a blog called, Daily Mood in Beach Glass. Each post includes a different photograph of beach glass or rocks, followed by the mood behind the picture. Some of the posts are meant to be inspirational, and I'm hoping readers will also find that to be true in my book, "Like Sea Glass, Its Journey and Ours".

New York, NY, US
Since 1950, Detroit has lost over 50% of its population, 165,000 industrial jobs, and 147,000 housing units. The depopulation that the city has experienced over the last sixty years created a fractured and dislocated urban environment divided by over 66,000 vacant lots. Generated by default rather than intent, these discarded, neglected, and forgotten spaces evoke strong memories of past turmoil and abandonment within the city. The project investigation uncovers the historic factors and city-responses associated with the extensive suburbanization and the subsequent emergence of urban empty space in Detroit. Emphasizing the historic formation and strange identity of Detroit's vacant land becomes the design measure in which to re-imagine and regenerate these urban conditions.

Johnny Galecki teases the upcoming episode will feature a special moment for his character and Kaley Cuoco's, saying, 'There might be somebody getting down on one knee.'
After dating on and off since the third season of "The Big Bang Theory", Leonard and Penny may take their relationship to the next level in this currently airing sixth season. According to Johnny Galecki who plays the experimental physicist, the couple will have a special moment in the upcoming Valentine's Day episode.
"Next week we start shooting the Valentine's Day episode," the Emmy-nominated actor tells The Hollywood Reporter. He goes on hinting at a possible engagement of the couple as saying, "It's a big one for Leonard and Penny - there might be somebody getting down on one knee."
Asked if the proposal will be successful, he coyly says, "I don't know if it'll work out, I'm just saying." As for the couple's relationship, he explains, "The ball is still in her court. The last couple of seasons have really been about her emotional inabilities. It's made that character of Penny a well-rounded one, and you'd assume it would always be Leonard's fault, but he's been a pretty good partner to her."
When describing the Valentine's Day outing, Galecki says it will be very much in the vein of their latest Christmas episode. "We never started doing holiday event shows until two or three seasons in, when we did the Christmas episode. That was a big hit, and we struck a chord of sentimentality with our audience, and we'll continue to do so," he elaborates. "The Valentine's Day episode will be that."
"The Big Bang Theory" airs every Thursday at 8 P.M. on CBS. The show has outperformed its own ratings with the last two episodes, scoring 19.3 million viewers on January 3 before topping it with 20 million viewers on January 10.

Gorgeous card! Beautifully packaged. Impressively fast shipping. Excellent transaction. Thank you so much!
Letterpress cards - drawn by hand and printed with love.
Wild Ink Press is a little letterpress studio in Chico, up in northern California. We design and manufacture (made in our space from start to finish): witty and pretty greeting cards, stationery and other paper goods in our downtown shop renovated from an old soda bottling plant. We keep old printing machines and techniques alive, but liven them up with fresh artwork and zingy prose! Our paper goods are eco-produced from recycled stock and also 100% made in the USA (by us) for you.
Owner and designer Rebekah Tennis started Wild Ink Press in 2009, springing out of a desire to create a cherished, finished product. Rebekah has a BFA in Graphic Design, and after working both in a corporate design firm and as a freelance designer, while she loved her job, she found the nature of branding design to be a frustrating factor - Websites getting tweaked over and over, logos stretched out of proportion, with no finality to the work. She longed to create art that was both finished (forever!) and cherished. Hence, Wild Ink Press was born, to create beautiful paper goods that others would value and enjoy. Her husband Matt listened to her wild-haired ideas and they both took a series of letterpress classes at the San Francisco Center for the Book, then made the plunge and purchased a 1908 Chandler and Price Platen Press on Ebay. That was what started it all!
When not designing and printing greeting cards, Rebekah and Matt can be found wrangling their three young boys, running a tractor on the family rice farm, or attempting to travel the world.
The company has grown and expanded over the years, and we now are a staff of seven, have a retail and printing space in downtown Chico where we still do just what we started at the beginning: design cards, print them on old presses, one ink at a time, and package them with care for you to give and receive.

Happy Mothers' Day!
First, another reminder that you can still vote in the Paul Mara Playoff Beard contest a few threads below, by scrolling down, or by clicking here. Please do.
Warren London is a regular reader and seldom commentor, also known as Bitt. He owns a New York City company that manufactures dog spa and grooming products: http://www.warrenlondon.com.
As a Yankees/Jets/Rangers fan who weirdly rooted hard this week for a Boston team to beat the hated Flyers, I was bored and looked up the 1st rounds of the drafts of the last 15 years.
While the Rangers have had a couple successful picks in later rounds for our goalie Lundqvist and a few solid 1st/2nd line players in Callahan, Dubinksy, Stepan and Girardi, they have had many chances to get superstars in the first round. It was very upsetting to think that the Rangers scouting can be so bad. It also became quite clear that whomever drafts for the Flyers actually knows what they are doing as most of their first round picks have all had great careers. Another thing that stood out is how many first round players that never make it in the NHL and that it seems to be a guessing game for a lot of teams after the top 3 or 4 picks each year.
2009: Chris Kreider #19 – TBD – Could have taken: Marcus Johansson Wsh #24
2008: Michael Del Zotto #20 – TBD
2007: Alexei Cheraponov #17 – Deceased – (Weak first round to this point but still early)
2006: Bobby Sanguinetti #21 Overall – Could have taken: Claude Giroux #22 to Flyers, Milan Lucic
2005: Marc Staal #12 (Our only good 1st round draft selection in 15 years)
2004: Al Montoya #6 and Lauri Korpikosky #19- Could have taken: Stafford #13, Travis Zajac #20, Wolski #21, Meszaros #23, Mike Green #29
2003: Hugh Jessiman # 12 – Could have taken: (Jeff Carter went #11), Dustin Brown #13, Brent Seabrook #14, Steve Bernier # 15, Zach Parise #17, Ryan Getzlaf #19, Ryan Kesler #23, Mike Richards, #24, Corey Perry #28
2002: No Selection in first round – Pretty weak first round: Rick Nash #1, Steve Eminger #11, Semin went #12
2001: Dan Blackburn #10 -Could have taken: Hamuis #12, Hemsky #13 (Overall weak draft in first two rounds)
2000: No First Round Selection BUT….. Islanders took DiPietro #1 (After trading Luongo), Heatley went #2 and Gaborik #3 (The Islanders ruined their team right there. Luongo and Heatley would have been a nice combo for a long time)
1999: Pavel Brendl #4 and Jamie Lundmark #9 – Could have taken: Tim Connoly #5 (Pretty weak draft)
1998: Manny Malhotra #7 – Could have taken: Antropov #10, Tanguay #12, Kalinin #18, Simon Gagne #22, Scott Gomez #27
1997: Stefan Cherneski #19 – Could have taken: Scott Hannan #25, Morrow #27
1996: Jeff Brown #22 – Could have taken Danny Briere #24.
In the last 15 years, only two Rangers draft picks have managed more than 100 goals in their careers until this point. Mike York, who was a 6th round pick, has scored 127 career goals. Manny Malhotra, who was a first round 7th pick in 1998, currently has 101 goals. No other Rangers draft pick in the last 15 years has been able to reach 100 goals. If you go back to 1995, Rangers 4th round draft pick Marc Savard has managed 207 career goal, BUT, only 10 as a Ranger as he was promptly traded away to Calgary.


text: A.J. Green has been described to us as a "1-in-25" player; a prospect that comes along just once every 25 years. While we don't necessarily agree with that we feel Green has all the makings to be a special receiver. He's fast, quick and explosive. Green does a great job coming back to the ball out of breaks, extends his hands then making the reception away from his frame. He plays with tremendous quickness, makes some amazing catches in contorted positions and has opposing defensive backs playing back on their heels. He's graceful, plays with terrific balance and is relatively effective running after the catch. Green knows where he is on the field, shows terrific eye/hand coordination and effectively uses his frame to protect the pass. He will round off routes and tends to float on exit times which is a problem. And while Green fights to make the reception he has a thin frame and loses out in battles. When all is said and done Green is a tremendous playmaking receiver with the skill set necessary to be a number one wide out in the NFL. for full article click here: http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=2888

This outfitter has private leases in several units in north central Wyoming. Whitetail numbers are high and respectable bucks in the 130 + range are killed. The very top end is in the 150's - 160 range. A fun hunt where you can see a lot of deer.
Rifle hunting is by spot and stalk and stand hunting. Archery hunts will take place from tree stands or ground blinds. Crossbows are legal during archery season.
Application period for deer license is January 1 -May 31. Draw odds have been 100% for whitetail deer. A hunter's safety card is required if born after January 1, 1966. Archery hunters are not required to have a hunter's safety card.

5 Day Archery Hunt - $3600
4 Day Rifle Hunt - $3600 - October

This hunt takes place on some of Eastern Montana's finest whitetail country. The land is made up of river bottoms with large hay and grain fields leading up to rolling grasslands with broken patches of trees and brush spread throughout the hills.
If you are looking for a hunt where you can see a lot of deer and don't need to kill a Boone and Crockett buck, this is one to consider. Deer numbers are good as they tend to be concentrated along the river bottoms. Bucks typically score from 120-150.
Both archery and rifle hunts are held. Bow hunts are primarily stand hunts while rifle hunts employ both stands and spot and stalk.
These hunts are held in "General Units" and the draw odds have been 100% with no bonus points. Archery season is September 3 – October 16 and rifle season is October 22 – November 27.

Bow hunters must also provide a certificate of completing the National Bowhunter Education Foundation course or provide any prior years bowhunting/archery stamp, tag, permit or license from any state or province.
Includes meals, lodging, 2×1 guiding, field care and caping of your animal
5 Day Archery Hunt - $2750
5 Day Rifle Hunt - $3500
This hunt is primarily a bow hunting operation with limited rifle hunts. The outfitter has over a dozen properties totaling 10,000 acres.
Hunting is out of ladder stands, tripods and shooting boxes. The terrain is flat to rolling consisting of ag crops, weed fields, scrub oaks and timbered shelter belts. A feeding program is in place.
This is a great hunt for someone that likes to look at a lot of deer. For those that can hold off, the odds are very good of killing a 130 or better. Hunters are asked to refrain from shooting bucks scoring under 120. One mature buck and one doe can be taken. This area does not have a lot of hogs but they can be taken if seen for no additional fee.
The outfitter will show hunters the property they will hunt, boundaries and the stand sites. Meals and lodging are not included but there are multiple options for hotels and restaurants in town. Hunters can also bring their own camper and camp on one of the ranches.
Bow hunts are held from early October until early January and rifle hunts are held from early November to early January. Licenses are over-the-counter and cost $315 - buck and doe tags included.
5 Day Bow Hunt - $1800
5 Day Rifle Hunt - $2400
This hunt takes place on private ranches in north central Wyoming. It's not a place to kill a huge whitetail but a place where you can see a lot of deer and kill a respectable buck. Bucks typically score 110 -130 with some larger.
Rifle hunting is by spot and stalk and stand hunting. Archery hunts will take place from tree stands or ground blinds.

Application period is January 1 - May 31. Up to 6 hunters can apply as a party to ensure all get drawn. This unit typically runs 100% on draw odds for deer. If available, leftover tags can be purchased in early July. Outfitter will apply for you. A hunter's safety card is required for rifle hunters if born after January 1, 1966 - not needed for archery hunters. Crossbows are legal to use during archery and firearm season.
Outfitter also offers airport pick-up and drop off at no charge.
Includes meals, lodging, 2 hunters/guide, airport pick-up and drop-off, transportation of meats and mounts to processing plant or taxidermist.
4 Day Hunt - $3000 (Nov. 1 - 30)
Hunt southwest Texas for free range or high fence whitetails.
The Free Range Hunt is for 8 point bucks or better. Bucks typically average 115-125 B&C with some scoring 140 and better. Hunting is conducted on over 20,000 acres. This is a great destination if you like to see a lot of deer. It is not unusual to see 10-20 bucks per day. Success rates normally run 95%+.
Hunting methods include ground blinds, glassing open flats from tripods and horn rattling.
Includes meals, lodging, 3×1 guiding and field care of your deer (field dress, skin and quarter).
4 Day Hunt - $2900 and $2400 for youth 16 and under (Youth hunting licenses are only $7)
The High Fence Hunt is conducted on 2000 acres. This hunt can be a challenging hunt due to the size of the enclosure. The high fence hunts are limited to 3 hunters at a time to give each hunter the best opportunity to harvest a buck that meets his expectations.
Trophy hunts are available for rifle or archery hunters on any 3 or 4 consecutive days from October 1st through the end of February. During the Texas general firearms season, November 6th - January 2nd, these hunts will be booked in conjunction with the low fence hunt dates. All animals harvested on a Trophy Hunt will be tagged with a MLD III tag (Managed Land Deer) and will NOT count towards the hunters Texas license limit.
Management and trophy hunts are conducted in the high fence. Management hunts are for mainframe 8 and 9 points that have reached maturity but lack desired antler characteristics. Management hunts are $2900 with a $1500 deposit. Trophy hunts are priced using a sliding scale based on the gross B&C score of the buck harvested. Trophy Hunt Pricing is as follows: up to 150 B&C $4,200; 150 1/8 to 170 B&C $5,750; 170 1/8 to 190 B&C $7,750; 190 1/8 to 200 B&C $9,000; 200 1/8 B&C $10,000 + $100 an inch for every inch over 200 B&C.
Trophy hunts require a $2,500 deposit. The deposit is subtracted from the prices listed above. The final balance will be due upon the harvest of an animal. Your guide will estimate the score of the deer on the hoof. In the event of a discrepancy, the benefit will go to the hunter. If the guide says a buck is in the low 170's and ends up scoring 169, the hunter pays for that price range deer. In the event of harvesting a 200+ animal, the hunter pays according to the final score of the animal.
Both the free range and high fence hunts require a General Non-Resident Hunting License for $315. For ages 16 and under, the only license required is the Youth Hunting License for $7. License are unlimited and there is no draw required.
Includes meals, lodging, 1×1 guiding and care of your deer (field dress, skin and quarter).

The owner of Hello! magazine apologised today to Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas for publishing pictures of their wedding without permission.
But Eduardo Sanchez Junco told the week-old High Court case in London he thought the celebrity couple, who subsequently filed a Ł500,000 ($A1.37 million) lawsuit against the magazine, had exaggerated the level of distress the unauthorised pictures caused them.
Asked if he was surprised to hear how upset the newlyweds were, he answered: "To a certain extent yes. I think that their attitude was a little bit exaggerated."
Zeta-Jones and Douglas are suing Hello! and other parties after the magazine published paparazzi shots days before an approved photo spread in rival publication OK! hit the newsstands.
OK! paid the couple Ł1 million ($A2.73 million) for exclusive rights to cover their November 2000 wedding at New York's Plaza Hotel.
In her testimony last week, Zeta-Jones said the "tacky" images in Hello! made her look overweight and the reception look like a "disco".
Douglas said he and his wife were still emotional about what they saw as a personal violation. "It was a devastating time. ... The damage and stress that we've gone through is irreparable."
The couple's lawyer, Michael Tugendhat, reiterated to Sanchez Junco that Zeta-Jones was very distressed by the photo spread.
"I am sorry about that," the magazine owner replied.
Tugendhat asked: "Do you intend to convey an apology?"
"Obviously any way in which I have offended her, yes," replied Sanchez Junco.
The proprietor denied the unauthorised photo spread was printed as an act of revenge after the couple turned down his magazine's offer to exclusively cover their wedding.
He said he published the photographs to defend the economic interests of his magazine. Sanchez Junco also said he had published hundreds of pictures of the couple before and after their marriage and insisted he had always treated them with respect and affection.
He said he believed the main reason they were suing him was because they believed the unauthorised pictures had damaged their exclusive deal with OK!
Zeta-Jones and Douglas are suing Hello! magazine; its Spanish counterpart, Hola!; Sanchez Junco; media consultant the Marquesa De Varela; her company Neneta Overseas Ltd; and freelance photographer Philip Ramey, who allegedly helped arrange the sale.
They seek Ł500,000 ($A1.37 million) from Hello!
OK! publisher Northern & Shell PLC is asking for Ł1.7 million ($A4.64 million).
Meanwhile, Zeta-Jones and Douglas will act together for the first time, playing rival con artists in the racetrack caper Monkeyface for Grifters director Stephen Frears.
The couple both appeared in Traffic, but shared no scenes.

A person close to Isaac said he was not in jail yesterday.
Just phoned the jail, and the previous comment is correct: Isaac, according to the jail, isn't there. This probably means he went to court this morning and was released. I relied on information given me by a jail deputy this weekend. Sorry for any confusion. Glad that Isaac is out!
I'll be down at the HUFF meeting at 9 AM in the cafeteria in the basement of the County building as mentioned above. Free coffee for those who show.
Another error. The Pitchess motion mentioned above was already decided last week--denying the defense access to individuals who might challenge Officer Winston's credibility.
A Superior Court clerk today told me that there's be a disposition of that motion tomorrow (Wednesday 4-25 at 10 AM). Judge Burdick denied the motion "without prejudice", meaning, I guess, that it can be reintroduced after the Preliminary Examination.
Incidentally for those interested in hearing interviews of those who found Winston's behavior abusive, go to http://www.huffsantacruz.org/brb-descriptions.html and search for "Winston". Then download the show and find the segment where a witness talks about Winston.

Norwegian Gem April Cruise: Norwegian Gem Cruise Review by jenn32189
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Gem April Cruise
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
The departure port for this trip was New York and we stopped in Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Dominican Republic. My husband and I are both in our twenties and enjoy fun yet relaxing vacations, so if you have similar expectations than this review is for you. There were many highlights to sailing with Norwegian, but also quite a few quirks. I know this is long so I'm going to break this up into categories so you can read whatever parts you would like.
Embarkation was pretty quick and easy. It was much easier going out of More New York, as we live in New Jersey, than flying to the port. We got to the port around 12p and stood in line (the silver latitude line) for about 30 minutes to check in. As soon as we were checked in we got right onto the ship without a problem and were able to have lunch.
Disembarkation was also easy for us. We did the easy walk off and carried our own luggage off the ship. There was a bit of a line to get off, but it was as bad as I've experienced with other cruise lines. It took a total of 45 minutes for us to both get off the boat and go through customs. The only down side to disembarkation I noted was that they don't have an area for you to stand to be picked up. They shuffle you downstairs and make you leave the port to go stand on the corner across the street. There were so many people standing on this corner, plus this is a main road, it made it difficult for our ride to stop and pick us up.
The food in the main dining room was phenomenal. We didn't eat in Magenta, only Grand Pacific because we found a waitress we really liked. (Ask for Rosemary, she's AMAZING). The first night the food took forever to get to us and it seemed like everything was going wrong. They didn't have glasses to give us for drinks until halfway through our meal and didn't give us steak knives for our steaks. I guess it was just a fluke since every other night ran smoothly though. Another quirk that may seem ridiculous to those reading this is that they got rid of the little scrapers that pick up your crumbs in between the entrée and dessert. I'm not sure why this really bothered me, probably because I make lots of crumbs when eating my bread, but I missed it.
I'm not a buffet person to begin with but I felt like the food in the buffet was worse than other buffets I've been to. The breakfast food was the only food we were able to tolerate there (we had tried lunch twice and it was horrible) and the omelet station was great. The buffet was always crowded and a lot of staff ate at it too, which just added to the crowd. We did find that if you walk all the way to the back of the buffet (aft) there is a separate set-up of food and it is significantly less crowded back there.
Blue Lagoon was the casual dining area inside and had delicious comfort food. Service was always fast and the food was always a good quality. The only disappointment was that even though it was open 24/7, for some reason after lunch they had to convert their menu. This disappointed my husband since he loves mozzarella sticks and this was one of the few items they took off. The poolside grill has great specialty burgers during lunch such as pulled pork burgers and blue cheese burgers. There isn't anywhere to get normal (non-bar) drinks out here, so if you want iced tea, etc. you have to get it from the buffet and walk it out here.
The only specialty dining we did was Cagney's. This was beyond disappointing. Although the steak was delicious the service was terrible. The night that we went, happened to be the night they decided to start a new menu. We didn't know this and we're excited for the old menu. The new menu also meant the charge changed from $25 per person to $30. The steak and food was good but it took a long time and you could see the chefs standing in the kitchen making the entrees and looking at pictures of how they were supposed to be while arguing with one another. Our side dishes weren't delivered to us until after we had already finished our steak. It will probably be better once they iron out the kinks with the new menu, but I was disappointed that we had gone.
The spa was mostly wonderful. We purchased the heat therapy and relaxation package that allowed us to use these rooms for $139 per person for the week. This included a steam room, sauna, two personal hot tubs, showers, and loungers within a gender specific area. There was also a co-ed area that had a hydrotherapy pool, hot tub, 7 heated tile mosaic loungers, and normal loungers. All of these features were wonderful and this area was never too crowded. We were able to use whatever amenity we wanted without having to wait in line. Also, the sauna actually hangs partially off of the ship to give amazing views. It was worth every penny.
We also purchased a couple's massage with bath. This is where I would never spend money again. We do a massage on almost every vacation we go on and this was by far the worst. Normally, while you are filling out the forms they have relaxation room to sit in with loungers. Instead, we sat in the main greeting area of the spa while we waited. We then were brought directly into the massage room and told to undress and get on the tables. I prefer being able to go into a changing room and put a robe it and then come in. I really think that adds to the relaxation. The actual massages were just okay. Immediately following the massages was the bath. This was the biggest waste of money. We were given 20 minutes for the bath. It was simply a hot tub with some bubbles in it. By the time we got off the massage tables and into the bath we had 10 minutes before we were already getting our 5 minute warning to get out. We didn't even have enough time to use the couples shower to get the oil and bubbles off of ourselves. This is also where it would've been nice to have a robe to put on rather than getting my clothes all oily/wet as they kept knocking while we were trying to get dressed. There was barely enough time for us to somewhat dry off. It would have been nicer if I could've just put on a robe and went back into a changing area to shower, or if we had more time in this room. The bath alone cost $60 plus 18% gratuity. As we were checking out another girl was at the counter complaining that her massage was cut 15 minutes short, and she didn't receive the facial that was supposed to be included. I would never do a spa treatment here again.
St. Maarten:
St. Maarten was one of my favorite destinations. We booked a tour through Noel tours that was great. We did the St. Maarten island tour and it was $40 per person. We met the tour guide right by the boat (didn't have to take the water taxi). It was us and one other couple in a tour van. The van was comfortable and air-conditioned. There was also a cooler filled with drinks to take at our own desire with sodas, water, and beer. We stopped at a small iguana farm and saw some cool iguanas. The iguana farm is under construction though until later this year. We then stopped at Oyster Pond to meet the sea urchin man. He let us hold a bunch of different sea urchins. There was also a look out deck at this stop for some great pictures. Orient Beach was a very touristy area. The beach was crowded and they wanted $20 to rent two beach chairs for the hour. We decided to just walk along the beach instead. This is also where the nude beach is located. It's about a 10 minute walk from where you are dropped off. Trust me the nude beach is not as exciting as it may sound to some of you, mostly very old people. Marigot was next and had some great shopping. There were physical stores as well as tents set up with street vendors. There were probably about a hundred street vendors and they were all selling pretty much the same exact thing. The only thing good about that is it made if very easy to negotiate with them. Maho beach was the final beach we went to. This is a place you must go to if you go to St. Maarten. It is located at the end of the runway for their international airport, so the jet planes fly very low over your head. The beach is also beautiful where you can swim or relax on the sand. There is also the Sunset Bar here with listings of all the airplane arrivals. Drinks were reasonably priced here and if you are a daring person, women without tops receive free drinks. We stopped at two more places quickly on the way back to the boat for pictures. They normally drop you off where you were picked up but we asked to be left in town to do some shopping and took the water taxi back. St. Maarten is definitely the cheapest of these destinations to do shopping. This is also the place to buy tobacco and alcohol. The ship wanted around $40 for a carton of cigarettes and St. Maarten was selling them for $18 each. There are also a lot of jewelry stores that are much cheaper than the ship and ridiculously cheaper than the U.S.
Here is their website for the tour company we used if you are interested: http://www.noeltours.com/St_Maarten_St_Martin_Tours_Excursions.html
St. Thomas:
In St. Thomas the shops were a bit more expensive. There were also 5 other ships in this port at the same time as us so there were people EVERYWHERE. We did the Turtle Cove Catamaran and Snorkeling through Norwegian for this port. This was another amazing excursion. We enjoyed music as we sailed about 45 minutes to Turtle Cove. The staff then led us around the cove to show us where the turtles were located, as well as the coral reef. The water was beautiful and we could see the turtles about 15 feet below us without a problem.
Puerto Rico:
Puerto Rico was just a day of walking around for us. The city was nice and we did the short walk up to the fort. It was only $3 to enter the fort and took about 1-2 hours to walk around. Just so you know, there are a lot of hills and stairs within the fort so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk. It is a self-guided tour, so you can go wherever you want. I do wish there were more descriptions of the places within the fort, but for $3 it was great for the price.
Dominican Republic:
Utter disappointment! I read the reviews that said don't bother getting off the boat here and they were 100% right. The beach that the tender left you at was disgusting. It is supposed to be a $2 taxi ride into town, yet every taxi there told us they would only take us into town after we did the $90 tour of the island. When we said no and started walking away, they tried physically pulling us toward their cabs. We literally turned around and walked right back to the tender to the ship. We met people onboard who did the ATV excursion here. They said that the beach that they rode along had so much feces on it, the ATV in front of you would just kick it up and they were covered by the end of their tour. There is a separate island off of Dominican Republic with the Cayo Levantado beach. This was highly advertised on the ship and although I didn't go, I heard good things about it. There are separate tenders that take you directly here. Beach chairs are also free, but are first come first serve. It was $15 for the tender ride and access to this area.
Cabin and Cabin Service:
The cabin was much smaller than expect. The vanity was in an awkward location at the corner of the bed, so if I was sitting at the vanity, my husband would have to climb on the bed to get to the other side of the room. The bathroom was normal sized for a cruise ship and got the job done. The king size bed was two twins pushed together, as most cruise ships do, but unfortunately mine and my husband's feet would hang off. I am only 5'6" and he is 6'2" so we aren't even abnormally tall people and this was occurring. Our cabin steward was fantastic. We got different towel animals every night, as well as chocolates.
Onboard Recreation:
The bowling alley is something I've never had on a cruise and it was pretty cool. It was $5 per person/per game and was never too crowded. The system did seem to "freeze" a few times, which was easily fixed by pressing the reset button.
I don't think there was enough pool area for the ship. There were only two pools that us commoners could use (not counting the spa pool) that were always overcrowded. There was another pool up in the haven that is only for those suite guests. The areas around the pool were where the loungers were, and getting a lounger was harder than getting tickets to the Super Bowl. The water slide just sucked. People weren't even using it because every time someone would go down they would get stuck and have to push themselves down. This even included the lightweight kids. I don't know if it needed to be greased or have more water, but it was more of a ramp that you move your own self down rather than a slide.
Cruise Staff:
All of the cruise staff was awesome. They were attentive to the passengers needs. Sinan, the cruise director, was awesome. He sings over the loud speaker everyday in his funny Turkish accent and even did a comedy show the last night of the cruise. There were a lot of grumpy senior citizens on board this cruise and the staff handled them well. We overheard some of the most ridiculous requests, like calling the dining manager over to pick up a French fry as a kid was eating since he dropped one on the floor and it was bothering them. All requests were met with a smile and graciously dealt with.
Overall Ship Maintenance:
The ship was maintained pretty well. All of the carpets and walls were bright colors, which suited the tropical environment it sails to. There were some areas that needed maintenance, such as the hanging maps of the ship's floors. The one near our room had half of the floors scratched off of it and it was therefore useless. Also, the midship staircase has an area on one of the landings (I can't remember which floor) that feels like there is a metal piece under the carpet. When you step on it, it makes a loud popping sound and then when you step off it pops back up. The outdoor furniture was also in need of repair. One of the chairs on our balcony actually broke and my husband fell through it.
The entertained onboard was fantastic. Nadeed the hypnotist had hilarious shows. I'm not sure if everyone on stage was actually hypnotized, but it was funny nonetheless. The Man from Mars was a must-see show. This is their cirque style show and this guy was great. He does cirque style acts where he is doing acrobatics, to magic, to comedic acts. Definitely see Man from Mars. The Norwegian Production Cast was just okay. They weren't really coordinated with one another and the shows weren't that great, but if you have nothing better to do, they hey go see it. Second City Comedy Troop was pretty funny. We really enjoyed their adult themed improv show on the last night.
There were also a lot of game show style shows in the Spinnaker lounge. They included the newlywed game, the quest, and battle of the sexes. These were fun and we participated in most of them.
We did Bingo once and probably would've done it more had it not been so expensive. They want $39 for the smallest package (3 cards for each game), $49 for the next largest package (6 cards for each game), and then you can spend $20 to add toppers to these packages that added more cards and instant win cards. It was just expensive if you aren't a big gambler. There was also a $5000 jackpot that could only be won if you get a full card in 47 turns or less. Most ships on the last night get rid of the 47 turns or less rule and give it to someone, but not Norwegian.
The professional pictures were a bit expensive. They wanted $19.95 for each copy of a picture. We didn't have any experience with the children's club and there weren't many kids on our cruise so I can't tell you much about that. I also would like to mention that the 18+ nightclub, Bliss, was filled with young teenagers every night as the 18+ rule was not enforced as it should've been.
In conclusion, I don't think my next cruise will be with Norwegian, since I've liked other cruise lines better, but it wasn't completely awful.
I hope this helps my fellow cruisers and will make your vacations even better. Less

Have you ever noticed how the stock market reacts differently to the same reported events? Why is it that we sometimes sell off "in response to rising oil prices," but at other times the "market rallied, despite the rise in the price of crude"? How come a selloff was caused by a suicide bombing in Iraq, but a week later, the markets shrugged off an even larger, deadlier bombing? Is it possible that the markets are responding to forces other than the latest headlines? Short answer: Absolutely. Yes. Longer answer: Keep reading. As we discussed
last week , it's clear that predictions of pontificating pundits have an extremely short shelf life and can be safely ignored. But it's not just the talking heads who can throw you off your game. The value of the entire financial news complex -- both print and electronic -- seems to be hugely misunderstood by investors. Even worse, many investors misapply what they hear; they ignore data, focusing instead on headlines and occasionally, the opinions. There are at least three problems with this approach: First, news is hardly new. The vast majority of it is backward-looking, informing you as to what has happened already. Investing is about what is going to happen; what's occurred in the past may be of interest, but it's hardly germane to the investment process. Indeed, by the time the news is "out," it already has been built into the stock price. Worse yet, old news can have an impact on your thought process. That's why I read The Wall Street Journal on the train home, and not on the way to work. Why? It forces me to recognize that the news is stale, and I avoid allowing it to influence my decision-making process. Instead, it becomes for informational proposes only (Yes, I really do this).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/8/2014 (1101 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DETROIT -- Ken Holland is celebrating 20 years in Detroit with a new contract.
The Red Wings announced on Thursday a four-year deal that will keep Holland as general manager through 2017-18. Holland first joined the club in 1994, as an assistant general manager.
"I've been here a long time and very proud, very happy to be a Red Wing," Holland told the Detroit Free Press. "I work for, I believe, the best owners in the NHL -- passionate, committed. It's nice to know that ownership has confidence in me to continue to lead going forward."
There never was any doubt that an extension would come, it was just a matter of when. But now that this domino has fallen, Holland has set in motion re-upping head coach Mike Babcock, who is entering the final year of his contract.
"I talked briefly to Mike yesterday; we exchanged texts. He's out west," Holland said. "When he gets back to town, at training camp, we'll sit down and talk. It's best that he and I talk about the situation when we're face-to-face and both engaged in the conversation. So sometime in September, we'll talk."
More immediately, Holland is working on a contract for restricted free agent defenceman Danny DeKeyser.
Holland said, "We'll find a solution. We like Dan a lot; he's been a real good, young player for us. The hard part is trying to find what's fair for player and for club. He's only played 76 games, but he's a real important part of our team. We'll get him done."
Since taking over as GM in July 1997, Holland, 58, has put together a team that has won more regular-season games (746) and postseason games (115) than any other NHL team.
"I'm proud of our 23 years of making the playoffs, and I'm excited about challenges going forward," he said. "We've been a team, the last two years, that's been a bubble team. I believe, if you get in and you get hot, it's wide open.
"Our goal going into 2014-15 is, hopefully, we can compete with the top teams in the East, with Boston and Tampa Bay, and Montreal, which went to the final four. We've got a tough division. We're trying to compete for a playoff spot, be a contender.
"At the same time, we're also trying to develop young players to build a core much like we did in late '80s, early'90s that carried us for a decade, and then again in the late '90s. I'm optimistic and excited about our younger players, that they will continue to develop into Detroit Red Wings players."
In a statement released by the team, owners Mike and Marian Ilitch cited Holland's success, saying that "Ken is regarded as one of the premier executives in the National Hockey League and has been instrumental in the success of the Red Wings over the last two decades."

According to the London daily Elaph, the famous Tunisian actress Hind Sabri denied rumors that she is pregnant. The rumor has been spreading via internet websites and entertainment magazines. Sabri said that she hopes one day the rumor will come true, but for now she is not thinking about having a baby.
Sabri also said that this same rumor about her pregnancy has circulated before, and that as soon as she does get pregnant she will proudly announce it.
On the other hand, Sabri started filming her second television drama series "Ayza Atjawaz" (I Want to Get Married), to be aired on television during the upcoming Ramadan season.

Drought forces another cut in pumping from Edwards Aquifer
Updated 12:41 pm, Thursday, April 10, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — The Edwards Aquifer Authority declared Stage III of its critical period plan Thursday, calling on utilities and other users in and around San Antonio to conserve water use as the region enters the hottest time of the year.
Permit holders in Bexar, Medina and parts of Atascosa, Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe and Hays counties are affected by the declaration, which raises the mandatory cutback in aquifer consumption by pumpers from 30 percent to 35 percent. The EAA said the aquifer has hit triggers for Stage III, including a dip below 640 feet above sea level at the J-17 index well in Bexar County and below 150 cubic feet per second at Comal Springs.
Officials of the San Antonio Water System have said they hope to avoid implementing unprecedented rules limiting watering to once every two weeks, or even a water use surcharge, to stay in compliance with the EAA's reduction. SAWS has been pumping up to 40 million gallons daily from its underground aquifer storage and recovery facility in southern Bexar County to supply customers this year without pumping directly from the aquifer.
With the drought in its fourth year, the declaration is of little surprise, given that the J-17 well started 2014 at 640.7 feet, its lowest Jan. 1 level since the 1950s. The EAA has projected it might have to declare Stage IV this summer, elevating the mandatory cutback in aquifer use to 40 percent.
Read more about the impact of the Stage III declaration at ExpressNews.com and in Friday's Express-News.

Become comfortable with daily conversational Japanese. I also offer music lesson in Japanese.
About Asuka
I enjoyed playing piano and electric piano and won the 1st prize at Kitakantou Electric Piano Competition hosted by YAMAHA institute. Because of the intensive training, I have been accompanying my students' recitals and performance exams.
As much as I enjoyed playing piano, I discovered that I also love singing, so I started to take singing lessons and majored in vocal performance during my college days.
Since I have graduated, I have been performing opera professionally. My career highlights include roles as Dorinda(Cantanti project), Pamina (Die Zauberflote) with Opera Manhattan Studio, Frasquita (Carmen)
My international credits include studies at the Academy Internationale d'Ete de Nice, France; the Daniel Ferro Vocal Program in Chianti, Italy; the International Vocal Arts Institute in Tel Aviv, Israel; and an appearance at the Young Artist's Concert in Tokyo, Japan.
As a versatile singer, I was presented as an aspiring opera singer on the website of Maybelline New York. My voice was featured in short films for NEC, the Japanese technology company.
I was also selected as a finalist at the Opera Idol Competition at Lincoln Center, the Hariclea Darclee Voice Competition in Romania, and the Mario Lanza and Elaine Malbin Vocal Competition. In the summer 2014, I received a scholarship to perform at The Savannah Voice Festival that is founded by Metropolitan Opera/Grammy Award Winner Opera Star Mr. Sherrill Miles. My upcoming engagement includes singing the title role of Madame Butterfly with Snob Opera in Montreal and Quebec that is supported by Quebec City.
Besides being an opera singer, I have been teaching piano and voice for 11 years. I have been fortunate to study with the world renowned teachers. I continue my vocal studies with Mr.Gerald Martin Moore who teaches Tony award winner Kelly O'Hara, Met star Renee Flemimg and Mr. William Hicks who was a coach for Luciano Pavarotti at The Metroplitan Opera. I would like to share my skills and experience with you. Since I perform often, I can coach you how to perform on stage in addition to building solid technique and languages. Also, I have taught various kinds of music, such as Rock, Broadway musicals, Pop music, so we can work on all kind of music.
I look forward to teaching you soon!
*** Lesson Details ***
My students can expect to improve their skills and start to enjoy music more as we work together.
I believe that learning music is fun and enjoyable. However you also need to be serious and focused.
I can demonstrate various and specific techniques, phrasing, and interpretation and will always coach on how to develop your skills. However, I feel it is important for students to think critically on their own and take the first try at solving a problem themselves. I cannot emphasize enough that primarily it is you who find the ways to improve. Leaning music is a collaboration between teachers and students. I hope that through my lessons, students will become more self-sufficient and confident as musicians.
Let me help you become a better musician.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano (Clavinova), music stand, and desk.

My high C/C6 came by early December, a couple of weeks after starting with Asuka. Some of this is my voice type, but I believe anyone who works with Asuka will see improvement.
I am taking lessons with a well-regarded pop teacher from the same time period and I've developed almost entirely from Asuka's lessons vs the other teacher, and quickly too with consistent practice. What Asuka teachers carries over to non-classical singing also.
Asuka is not rigid in her approach, thankfully, and she is so nice about the million things beginner singers can correct. I don't feel embarassed singing in front of her because she is non-judgmental.
I did some online lessons when she was traveling, and I got just as much out of them so even if I leave New York I will continue working with her.

*** Lesson Details ***
I do my absolute best to create a positive atmosphere for my students. Even when the students feel frustrated or stressed, it is important to inspire them and give them the fuel that they need. Though I am strict when it comes to homework and their about their studies. Every lesson at the beginning I will review what we learned previously and test them.
then begin with proper breathing technique exercises, the cornerstone of all vocals. We move on to vocal exercises to condition the voice. Then we work on the songs that you are eager to sing!
I will use a piano when doing vocal warm ups and conditioning exercises. Students that play other instruments and accompany themselves when performing (such as a guitar) are encouraged to bring that instrument to their lessons. My goal is for them to gain the knowledge that they need to help reach their artistic goals.
With all my lessons every student will be taught a basic run down of Music Theory. My students will always progress in what they do. They will have the discipline that they need and yet have fun and be filled with inspiration. Which is the most important thing, to be Inspired to do better.

*** Specialties ***
I specialize in Musical Theatre, and Pop rock genres. When I teach my students I always have them learn a song of another language whether it's Spanish or Japanese. It helps with diction when they learn a song outside the English Language. Also It helps them to learn another Language at the same time.

今日は and welcome to learning Japanese, I have a bachelor's degree in Japanese language and culture from the Ohio State University, and I have tutored Japanese before and it really isn't as intimidating as it looks. I've learned through many ways and I have many many resources that I will gladly share with you so you can learn on your own, whether you're a beginner or advanced, I can direct you to how to become very fluent with all my knowledge and resources combined. Also as a bonus I will teach you some kanji calligraphy if interested as well.
About Moataz
My promise to you is that I will teach you everything I know in the time I'm given and provide you with all sorts of outside resources to get you on your way to fluency and proficiency.
I'll make sure to do my absolute best to get you speaking a new language from day one, learning a Design program immediately, or teaching you how to letter with the rules they don't teach you in school. And best of all, I'll even show you how to actually make money with all of these.
I have a very unique journey into learning where I experienced many places and got a fresh and different understanding to the many su
My Design work has been very general so I've done a lot of different things before I specialized in hand lettering, so I've done it all from advertisements on billboards to website design and development, to copywriting, to branding from start to finish for companies big and small.
My love for lettering and Calligraphy emerged when I started getting more Logos for client work and my exploration of type wasn't the best answer most of the time so I would letter everything myself, and the rest is history.
I am really passionate about learning and even more passionate about sharing what I've learned. I am efficient, I know what works for different people since I taught in classrooms and tutored way before I knew about Takelessons, and I'm most proud of being praised as a very genuine person. A very common compliment I get is that I sincerely want my students to do well. And it makes me really happy every time someone says it, and I hope that one day you see that and tell me the same thing.
Feel free to find out more about me and ask me anything you want, and I really look forward to one day teach you something that will get you to achieve your goals! :)
Just so there are no surprises, I raise my prices very slightly every 3 months, next time it will go up is on March 3rd 2017. The reason for this is because I get better and more efficient at teaching as time goes by, so that hour that you get now is much more packed with value than the same hour last year or last month.

O genki desu ka?
Hi, I'm Richard, and I can teach you simple Japanese. I graduated from BYU in Japanese and lived as an LDS Missionary in Tokyo for two years in 2003-2005. I love teaching everything that I know in a simple, understandable way. So I can help you learn the basics faster than you would normally. I know what it's like learning in school where you seem to take forever, and don't get very good. I also know what it's like talking to many people in Japan, and learning very quickly, and knowing the difference. I want to help you learn as efficiently and as quickly as possible. I also have a one hour presentation of the basics of Japanese grammar, that basically covers like the first 2 years of college Japanese classes! No joke, it's a powerpoint presentation I've put together that will really give you the "big picture" with the backwards grammar that we try to understand. Ask me any question, and I'll do my best to help you out! Mata ne!
About Richard
I couldn't sight read very well until I was 16, but I had a great sight reading teacher that showed me how to develop it, and now I can say that I'm one of the best sight readers out there that I know. I was a ballet pianist at Brigham Young University for several years where all I did was sightread binders full of ballet/classical music. I play for choirs, church congregations, jazz bands, or musical jam sessions all the time, and I couldn't do that at all if I didn't learn how to sight read well.
Concerning my musical background, I've played, arranged, and composed piano for choirs, bands, jazz combos, singers. I've been in bands all my life, and have composed for jazz bands, choirs, and orchestras at BYU and in Eastern Europe. I also play about 10 different instruments. I won two Student Emmys in Hollywood for my compositions to BYU's animations in 2010 & 2014.
I am currently writing music for video games.

A Hidden Treasure of Advice: If you are really serious about learning and mastering this language, you will need to learn to read and write Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji (Chinese characters). You know when you have reached an acceptable level of proficiency when you can read for example the Yomiuri Shimbun (one of the five national newspapers in Japan) with ease and that's when the real fun begins!
This language is so different than the Latin-based languages, e.g. French, Spanish; and so if you get the wrong tutor, in the long-term, you might even get worse than make any real progress!
Choose wisely.
90mins/lesson + travel fee; travel fee waived for 120min lessons.
About Rod
My interests also include gifted learning and STEM education. For example, I was successful in helping a 5-year old pass the NYC Gifted & Talented Test so he could e
I have several years of work experience as an engineer (hardware+software) and as business developer in multinational companies and startups and this has given me deeper and practical insights into personality and intelligence so I can perhaps bring some encouragement relevant to your current/future vocation. Furthermore, as I have learned from experience, there are three best tools for learning: practice, practice and more practice!
Tutoring for yourself or for your son/daughter is both an investment in time and money for a future return so please also plan accordingly. I only tutor only on occasions when I am available so I am quite happy to be part of someone's educational journey but kindly make sure that you have a very flexible schedule also. When there is a match in both schedule and objectives, I consider it indeed a very special privelege to be able to help a student because it is my experience that effective education can be life-changing.
Tutoring Rate (IMPORTANT): I only do in-person tutoring because I believe effective learning is multi-dimensional and personal not flat and distant. My minimum lesson length is 1.5 hours for Academic subjects and 2.0 hours for Test Prep. My rates for children and teens will be in principle the same as adults because I invest at least an equivalent amount of time and effort and I have to consider at least 2 individuals compared with an adult student (so in reality, I have to charge more)! Different arrangements possible on a case-by-case basis and in general I do offer DISCOUNTS for 5 lessons or more after the first session (see each subject rate for more details). Finally, I am aware that other tutors may be in a better position to meet your budget and situation so we have to accept that.
When I am not tutoring, I am involved in projects related to technology, hospitality and service industries. I also enjoy cooking especially when I can make an ordinary dish into something extraordinary by adding that little "extra."

Learning a language is exciting yet requires patience. If you're a total beginner, within the first few lessons, you'll be able to speak conversational phrases with correct pronunciations and as time goes on you'll be able to write Hiragana characters and understand some Kanji's. I use skill appropriate text books, audio and later on include cultural field trips to give students a chance to practice and deepen their knowledge. All ages and skill levels are welcome and I can't wait to meet you!

A panel of 12 judges have determined that Hosea Rosenberg's meals were 'steady across the board' and therefore he is the 'Top Chef'.
The ultimate course has won a man the title of "Top Chef". On the finale of the cooking competition, two were unable to satisfy the panel of judges consisting of twelve people, as much as Hosea Rosenberg. His final three courses beat those by Carla Hall and Stefan Richter.
"It felt amazing to win, but to have it come down neck and neck with Stefan just made it all that sweeter," Hosea gushed after the winning. "That was the icing on the cake. This is one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. I know a lot of people are going to be proud of me for this. I could not be happier."
The three chefs, as announced by Tom Colicchio, were to cook "the best three-course meal of your life" for diners at Commander's Palace. While it may sound like an easy challenge, the hors d'oeuvres required them to also add alligator in the menu. They received the assistance of previous contestants with Hosea picking Richard (season 4), Stefan taking Marcel (season 2) and Carla getting Casey (season 3).
Carla met a roadblock when her souffle did not rise and she decided not to include it. Stefan meanwhile, decided on making a soup out of the alligator. However, it was Hosea's meal that ultimately impressed the judges and won him 100,000 dollars apart from the prestigious title.

"In software engineering, an entity–relationship model (ER model) is a data model for describing a database in an abstract way. In the case of a relational database, which stores data in tables, some of the data in these tables point to data in other tables - for instance, your entry in the database could point to several entries for each of the phone numbers that are yours. The ER model would say that you are an entity, and each phone number is an entity, and the relationship between you and the phone numbers is 'has a phone number'. Diagrams created to design these entities and relationships are called entity–relationship diagrams or ER diagrams. Diagrams represent entities as boxes, and relationships as lines between the boxes. Different shapes at the ends of these lines represent the cardinality of the relationship."
The vector stencils library Crow's Foot Notation from the solution Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) contains specific symbols of the Crow's foot notation such as relationship symbols and entity symbols for ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software. The Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) solution is contained in the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
