Get to the summit.
Designed for mountaineering and alpine ascents, the Scarpa Men's Triolet Pro GTX Mountaineering Boot gives you the comfort and performance needed to claw across snow-capped peaks and boulder-strewn ridges. This boot features a 2.8mm Suede Pro upper with rubber rand for added durability. The 360-degree rubber rand also allows for compatibility with hybrid (semi-automatic) crampons when you're conquering alpine glaciers and ice-coated slopes. Allowing for calculated footwork, the boot's tri-flex ankle won't inhibit technical moves when you're carefully crossing a knife-like ridge with sheer exposure.
Waterproof and breathable, the boot's Gore-Tex membrane blocks snow and rain when you're slogging through summertime slush, crossing powder-filled gullies, and even crossing the occasional creek. The boot's Pro-Fiber insole and PU/EVA midsole absorb shock when you're punishing your feet for hours on end on exposed glacial ice. Providing sure-footed grip, the boot's Vibram Mulaz sole features strategic climbing zones, allowing you to grip and claw across alpine environments without slipping.
- An alpine boot ideal for summer and shoulder season ascents
- Performance Comfort Gore-Tex membrane is waterproof and breathable
- Perwanger Suede Pro upper with protective 360-degree rand
- Vibram Mulaz sole with climbing zones for ascending rock
- Pro Fiber XT 20 insole is stiff and supportive when front-pointing

- Tri-Flex ankle maintains comfort during long descents
- Compatible with hybrid (semi-automatic) crampons
- Item #SCR000I

Amazing 3 season boot
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: 43
- Height: 5'7"
- Weight: 175lbs
The boots felt comfortable straight out of the box. The roomier toe box and fore foot were great for my slightly wider than average feet. I ended up putting in the Superfeet green insoles to help dial in the fit.
From the first use, they were comfortable with no break-in period. No hot spots and they fit a variety of different crampons well.
Scarpa knocked this one out of the park. This boot is comfortable, capable and compatible. It felt equally at home on legitimate rock pitches as it did on wet glaciers.
Shout out to gearhead Mackenzie Martin, who recommended these. She's a treasure chest of knowledge about gear.
Great Boot!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have weird feet and tried on countless boots that would dothe trick as a heavy backpacking boot, 3 seasons mountaineering and light ice climbing boot. The Triolet does it all and it's comfy right out of the box. I would recommend this boot to anyone. Great for wider feet.
How did you size this boot? I wear a 9 1/2 wide normally which falls in the Euro 42.5/43.0 size range was thinking about going 43.0
Awesome boot
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have owned many boots from the old double plastic to the modern light single boots and I would have to say that this boot is by far the best boot that I have ever owned. I mainly do ice and mixed climbing and this boots fits that task perfect its super comfy, stiff in the sole and is great quality.
Hey Terry,
What tempertures do you climb in? I'm trying to decide if this boot is going to be warm enough for me.
Hi Jake, sorry if i am too late. The boots are only good for warmer mountaineering climbing, basically summer and spring and late autumn climbing they will be ok, i suppose down to 5 degrees Celsius. They are also pretty warm for ice climbing in winter as your feet are not buried in snow all day
Nice Boot Too Small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
Great Lightweight Mountaineering/Heavy Backpack boot. Wished they fit. The 44.5 was more like a 10.5 than an 11. Decently wide toe box, but my little toes and big toes were pounding the front when kicking carpeted stair risers. Comfortable boot but I know what would happen kicking steps or on long descents with a heavy pack. Build quality is great, if they had a 45 or 45.5 on the clearance I would snatch it.
Some makers call the 44.5 a US 11 while others will call a 44.5 an 11. They would have been awesome for mild temp winter and summer ascents.
Bruised ankle
Bruised ankle after a 15 mile hike--or was I hit by a line-drive?
Regarding the ugly ankle photo above, My generally positive review seems to have not been saved. I like the boots a lot and they required minimal break-in, but for some reason on my third wearing, a 15-miler, the cushiony ankle collar bruised the hell out of my right leg. I gave them 4 stars, but that, too, got lost in the ether....
I'm just here ordering my 3rd pair of this boot. Just did 27 miles last weekend with 2 summits and not a mark, not a blister. I did size up these boots 1 1/2 sizes larger than my normal street shoe size though.
Solid boot for most mountaineering
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This is my first pair of mountaineering boots. Used these on the trail, climbing rock, snow and with crampons. Their stiff sole makes walking awkward at first and it took about 4 days to break them in. The Scarpas stayed dry after all day in the snow but my feet did get cold on the morning start when the temp was 30 degrees.
The first time I took them out I got quarter size heel blisters. Superfeet, sock liners, proper lacing techniques and just wear in makes them perform much better. The reason I picked Scarpa is they are known for their wide toe box (which I need) but they also have a wide heel. I also tried the Scarpa Chamroz in a half-size smaller and my feet rubbed the front/sides of the toebox. The Chamroz felt lighter, but also not as burly as the leather of the Triolet.
Nice review Jason!

Ghanaian youngster Abdul Baba Rahman is happy to be back into the fold of the Black Stars after over a year's absence.
The 20-year-old left-back has been called by coach Kwesi Appiah for next month's Africa Cup of Nations qualification double header against the Cranes of Uganda and Togo.
"I am glad to be back into the team and to help my country with what I have and I expect to get the chance to prove my worth," Rahman told Goal Ghana.
Rahman who signed for Bundesliga side Augsburg last week from Greuther Furth has been thrice invited to the Black Stars but in each case he was not given a chance to play.

Ploughman's Lunch
A great gift or an easy lunch for two when you head out on the trail. Enjoy a generous half-pound of one of our raw cow's milk cheeses depending on which one is ready to come out of the cave. Bear Wallow (alpine style) or Old Drovers Rd (cheddar style), with a half-pound selection of salumi from Hickory Nut Gap Farm just down the road. The collection is rounded out with a selection of handmade crackers from Roots and Branches and a jar of the best mustard on either side of the Mississippi (Lusty Monk that is...). Great to enjoy with a beer from your favorite local brewery.
Flavors of local products (salumi, mustard and crackers) will vary with each order. We will do our best to honor any specific preferences noted with your order, depending on product availability.

This year's Cornwall Film Festival will be held at Falmouth's new state-of-the-art cinema, The Phoenix, rather than spread across several venues as in previous years.
A festival spokie frothed: "With the audience numbers increasing by more than five times since its inception in 2002 and the number of film submissions rising yearly, it has been necessary to find a new venue able to accommodate the growing festival.
"It is an exciting prospect for the festival to be held in a real cinema and is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the wealth of talent in the local film industry on the big screen."
A 'real cinema', eh? Truro's Plaza, which has been involved with the festival in the past, might have something to say about that. And what constitutes a 'real cinema', anyway?
We do agree that the Phoenix is pimped-up to the max, though. It boasts two traditional auditoriums, where the main screenings will be held, and three screens with leather armchairs and sofas, which will host a bunch of networking events, discussions and lectures, professional development workshops and special screenings. Quelle decadent.
The Cornwall Film Festival 2009 will take place from November 12-15. For details, check out (surprise!) the Cornwall Film Festival website.

Pacific Rim
Trailer: Pacific Rim
10:00 AM on 01.08.2013 // Matthew Razak@MatthewRazak
CES isn't known for its big movie news, but we do usually get a little bit of love out of it. This time around it's in the form of a new trailer for Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim, a movie clearly all about giant robots punching monsters while Idris Elba gives stirring speeches about controlling jaegers (the giant robots) to punch monsters in the face.
I don't think there's a person on earth who grew up watching (insert giant monster movie/TV show here) that isn't excited for this film. The only downside I can find is that the casting of the voice of GLaDOS means I don't trust the robot voice at all. I'll be waiting the entire movie for her to turn on humanity.

At last, Tiger Woods has a genuine rival, writes Doug Ferguson in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Vijay Singh is unlike any other player who has come and gone through the revolving door of rivals for Tiger Woods. None of the others threatened to take something away from Woods, such as an unprecedented fifth consecutive money title or perhaps even the US PGA Tour player-of-the-year award.
No one else has won more tournaments with Woods in the field - seven with Singh's victory on Sunday in the Funai Classic at Walt Disney World.
And remember, it was Singh who kept Woods from a calendar grand slam in 2000 by winning the Masters for his second major championship.
That was about the time the seeds of this rivalry were planted.
Later that year, Singh's former caddie wrote "Tiger Who?" on the back of his cap before their singles match in the Presidents Cup. Woods didn't concede a putt longer than 45 centimetres and beat Singh 2 and 1.
The rivalry reached its fruition on Monday, when Singh rose to No.2 in the world rankings, his highest position.
"I'm playing the best that I can play right now," Singh said. "It's a good feeling to go out there knowing that you've got a chance of winning the golf tournament every time you tee it up. That's the way I feel."
Just like Woods's other rivals - Ernie Els, David Duval, Phil Mickelson - it starts with performance.
Singh has finished out of the top 10 only once in his past 10 tournaments, and his career-best four victories are only one fewer than Woods this year.
With just more than $US6.8 million ($9.68m), he leads the money list by $US250,094 over Woods, although Singh already has played eight more tournaments than Woods and will add another this week in the Chrysler Championship in Tampa, where a victory would clinch the money title.
Even more impressive are his head-to-head battles with Woods.
Neither won a major championship this year, although Singh finished higher than Woods in the Masters, British Open and PGA Championship. They tied for 20th at the US Open. In the 14 tournaments they played together, each has finished ahead of the other six times, with two ties.
The difference is Woods has three victories to Singh's one, and Woods traditionally plays against stronger fields on tougher courses, which is why he has virtually locked up another Vardon Trophy for lowest adjusted scoring average.
The dynamic that Singh brings to this rivalry is a general dislike between the two players.
Woods and Duval are so close they travelled to Argentina and Japan to play in the World Cup.
Els and Woods also are good friends, although "The Big Easy" gets along with everybody. The Woods-Mickelson relationship is overblown; Woods just likes to poke fun at "Lefty", and he's not the only player who does that.
There have never been warm feelings between Woods and Singh. When they went head to head in the final group at the American Express Championship earlier this month, where Woods won by two shots, their conversation could have fitted on an index card.
While they never saw each other at Disney, there were a few subtle shots fired across the bow.
Singh has said for the past month that the money title is the most important award.
"It's hard to win a money title," he said. "It's harder than winning golf tournaments because you have to play consistently all year to win that."
Woods said he takes more pride in the Vardon Trophy for scoring than the money title because it's a better barometer of consistency.
Woods is not playing in the Chrysler Championship this week, nor was he tempted to add it to his already thin schedule for the sake of trying to win the money title.
Even when told that Singh could have ended Woods's four-year reign before next week's Tour Championship, Woods shrugged.
"If he has it wrapped up, so be it," he said. "Anyone would much rather have player of the year than the money title. He plays a lot more than I do. If it were important, I'd play 25 to 30 events every year."
The rivalry will continue to play itself out in the next two weeks but how long it will last is anyone's guess.
Singh is 40, although he is so strong and in such good shape that it wouldn't surprise anyone if he continued to play at this level for several more years. The big Fijian even set his sights on being No.1 in the world.
"I give myself another five years," Singh said. "It's going to be really hard to get Tiger from the No.1 spot. He's playing so well every week. I just have to match that and play better in the next few years. We'll have to wait and see."

Samsung GT-I9502 leaks out: a Galaxy S IV candidate for China
0. phoneArena posted on 11 Mar 2013, 03:47
Images of the Samsung GT-I9502 have leaked out just days before the Galaxy S IV official unveiling, and they could show what the upcoming Android superphone would look like…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

as usual. cheap looking phone with a very ugly looking design. nothing changes for samsung !!!!! ewwwwwww
2. Adithya7184 (Posts: 319; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
its just a prototype.
4. tiara6918 (Posts: 2111; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Well,let's just hope it is. Because that phone looks cheap with its plastic materials, samsung should learn a thing or two from htc,nokia and sony
11. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
i don't really care about the plastic as long it got removable battery and micro sd slot.. and i will just put a case on it.. and honestly the phone looks quite nice IMO..
133. rizevnarastek (Posts: 349; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
The sides remind me of HTC Evo 4G LTE.

94. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
This is usual for OEMs to do. They put their prototype into a shell that looks like their previous model; Apple does it and LG did it with the Nexus 4.
109. mityblumpkin (Posts: 14; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
isnt most phones made out of plastic? like the nokia 822
151. KINGJUAN27 (Posts: 210; Member since: 02 Jul 2012)
Yeah! Totally! Sony Xperia Z ftw! Water and dust resistant + Durable + Verrrrrry Elegant (made of glass). It's the best of Sony in a f*cking awesome smartphone! :DD
55. phljcnth (Posts: 497; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I don't think this will be the final design. Remember the leaked pictures of live Galaxy S III before? It was different from the ultimate design, right? As far as I remember, Samsung makes 2-3 different designs for its test phones. Its inside could be the Galaxy S IV but I know Samsung is smart enough not to pattern a successor from its predecessor just like what they did to S II and S III. Samsung never disappoints. :D
75. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 4328; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
We're 3 days away from the launch...you think it's time to play around with what looks good and what does not??
86. htc_evo_3d (Posts: 84; Member since: 11 Mar 2013)
Yuk..... looks too ugly. S-IV doesn't deserve this design. :(
27. RiseAgainst94 (Posts: 281; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
Does Apple have a copyright on making the same looking phones year after year? If so, Samsung may be in trouble. Lol. But seriously, if this is anything like the actual phone then Samsung pulled an Apple on us when it comes to design. I would be disappointed.
31. alterecho (Posts: 1099; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
Yes, but i remember reading that Samsung kept the real model of the Galaxy S3 a secret until launch by floating multiple fake models. . The material seems to be nice though.
If this is the real phone, they really need to take pointers from Nokia, HTC, Sony, etc for design queues. But knowing Samsung, if they wanted to, they would rip off their design as their own and try to justify it in court.
131. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
It was pretty obvious the GS3 was in a fake shell though. This looks to tightly packed to be in a fake shell. Looks real.
33. sid07desai (Posts: 290; Member since: 03 May 2012)
This is pushing me towards Xperia Z. Please Samsung, don't be a disappointment.
42. zuckerboy (banned) (Posts: 898; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
if u check the covers for gs4 you can understand this is not s4 or something . s4 has sharp edges than this it will look like s2
113. p0rkguy (Posts: 685; Member since: 23 Nov 2010)
Those covers weren't legit.
Just something a manufacturer came up with.
77. DirtySoul (Posts: 16; Member since: 22 May 2012)
Judging by the white settings screen, it is not an AMOLED screen. It is usually black on AMOLED devices.
81. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
I hope it's not amoled, slcd3 please, amoled doesn't stand a chance against slcd3 because it's too dim, colors are great though
80. zhiae (unregistered)
i have very bad feeling that it is gs4 because the back style is the same back of the picture that says come and meet the next galaxy f**kkkkkkk
84. ama3654 (Posts: 295; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
The front-facing camera hole doesn't quite align properly, this cannot be a final version, some Chinese knock-off probably
87. Anky5 (Posts: 4; Member since: 11 Mar 2013)
look at top of screen ....it shows two sim card ....is it dual sim phone or Fake Samsung S4
121. rizevnarastek (Posts: 349; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
Like the holes were aligned on the S3 LOL
132. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Um, the S3 was more aligned then the entire One X where the camer back cover, sim tray slot, and even the entire screen were not aligned. The GS3 was actually flawless in terms of clearance.
95. Suraj3337 (Posts: 45; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
IT is definitely fake! Notice how the phone on the notification menu shows that both the sim card slots have been empty in picture no 10!
Do you think thats possible?
122. Topcat488 (Posts: 1396; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
If Samsung held the secret this long, i don't think they would release such a clear picture now... This isn't Apple, where nothing is manufactured, Samsung has their own factories... Hint, NO outside SPIES. ;)
128. akki20892 (Posts: 3902; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
This year is tough because choice is so many: HTC One, Sony Xperia Z, Motorola X, and Samsung GS4........!!! Better to buy HTC one, Xperia Z, Or Motorola X........one thing note: those all phones are powered by Android.....!!!
146. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
Has it ever maybe occurred to you that Samsung use plastic because its simply the best material to use...aluminium does not allowed NFC, no removable battery, no removable micro SD and because it allows the manufacturing to be cheap they can sell the phone with the best software for a reasonable price!
152. jackson_kaeluen (Posts: 87; Member since: 12 Mar 2013)
But still lots of people buy! Like the Galaxy S III ugly! But still many people buy! Because of the specs I guess!

Lindsay Lohan Had Booze In Her Car And Somehow Found More Acting Work. In Theory.
I didn't know they make yellow scotch…
I'm trying my best not to turn this place into The Lindsay Lohan-Ficial because I'm pretty sure we're near the saturation point of hearing about her accident that will result in absolutely zero consequences for her. That said, it's always hilarious to read how horrible of a drunk she still is. TMZ reports:
Both law enforcement sources and the tow truck driver tell us … cops confiscated a plastic water bottle from the trunk of the Porsche, and our law enforcement sources tell us the bottle contained alcohol. Another law enforcement source tells us the bottle was actually in the debris field and scooped up along with other parts and placed in the trunk before it was towed away.
It's not a violation to carry an open container in a trunk, so Lindsay is in the clear. And according to cops she had no alcohol in her system.
Talk about incredible news for the producers of Liz & Dick who are already in enough insurance trouble with her getting behind the wheel of a Porsche (With booze in it now!) despite the fact she's not supposed to be driving during production. Then again, it's not like she's always walking around set with a container she brought from home in her hands the exact day this story broke. That'd be ridiculous, although not as ridiculous as the fact that in the midst of all this Bret Easton Ellis thought it'd be a great idea to announce that Lindsay is starring in his latest screenplay The Canyons along with porn star James Deen. Via Indiewire:
Deen will play protagonist Christian, a "trust fund kid, power player and major manipulator, who is a film producer that enjoys filming his own three-way sex sessions," while Lohan will play his girlfriend/former model, Tara, who "has sold her pride for the material comforts Christian can provide."
Keep in mind, the "film" will be shot over three weeks on a handheld digital camera to save money because it was funded via Kickstarter and will only debut on Netflix streaming, so really that's only two steps removed from doing actual porn. Seriously, take out Netflix and Kickstarter and you're left with two people saying lines no one cares about, now let's see some banging. It's the comeback of the century!

Just the other day, Lenovo announced that it is now selling smartphones in 26 markets around the globe. Just a year and a half ago, it was merely a domestic handset manufacturer. Of course, the company was already known globally for buying IBM's PC business back in 2004. And now Lenovo has dipped into its wallet once again to buy a great old American name, Motorola.
Keep checking in tomorrow afternoon and as soon as Lenovo unwraps this tablet, and what other devices they have brought to Barcelona, we will let you know.

Carnival Triumph - Western Caribbean: Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by LizaMM
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Triumph - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
First I will give a little bit of background.....I am a 37 year old single mom with 4 children. This was my kids Spring Break week at school here in Connecticut. My ex husband took 2 of the children on an RCCL cruise and 1 of my children was scheduled for a school orchestra trip to Disney World. About 3 weeks prior to the sailing I looked at my 12 year old DD and said "Let's go away - just you and I!"
I used a wonderful TA and looked at several sailings that fit into my time range (specifically a 4 /16 sailing). After considering about 3 different ships/itineraries I decided on the Triumph. I sailed on the Triumph 2 years prior on an Eastern run with all 4 of my kids and I have also sailed on Carnival Destiny (sister ship) solo.
I booked a Balcony Guaranty. I planned on flying down one day early and booked my own flights and hotel for the pre-stay. As soon as I booked the trip I checked out the Roll Call More Boards on Cruise Critic and was lucky to find a great group of people on our sailing! We chatted quite a bit in the weeks coming up to the cruise and made arrangements for Meet and Greets. Chuck became our official "pre-cruise director"! He made baseball caps that were emblazoned with the logo "Triumph Travelers Caribbean Cruise" on the front and "April 16, 2005" on the back and offered them to us at a special price!! Some of us got our caps via UPS prior to the cruise and some of the group got them when we met up onboard.
The CC group also had a game of "tag" started with a special hat that we would sneak back and forth to each other and see who was "It" at the end of cruise and a scavenger hunt was also planned by Chuck - Thanks again Chuck!!. Door Decoration poster was also emailed to the group and we shared cabin #'s and some of us cell #'s.
This was all so wonderful because we were able to start the festivities in advance and my DD was able to "chat" with some other kids her age that would be on the sailing.
Travel Day
We flew Jet Blue from JFK to FLL. I booked a very early morning flight (6:30AM) so that we could enjoy the day on the beach. A shuttle picked us up at our home at 3:30AM and got us to the airport. Had a great flight and landed on time (9:30AM). I had scheduled for a private car with Meet and Greet service with Tri-County Limo. I did not mind the shuttle going to the airport but for me...that is probably the only time I don't mind it! I prefer to have private transportation arranged for most other aspects of travel as I don't like the added time it often takes to wait and pick up other passengers. I have decided that my time/aggravation is not worth the money that I would save with shared ride or shuttles.
We were at the hotel and checking in by 10:30AM. We stayed at the Royal Palm Crowne Plaza in the South Beach area of Miami. I really wanted to have a nice beach day as well as show my daughter a bit of South Beach. I booked this hotel through Hotwire and got a good deal.
Our room was not ready at that early hour (as I expected) but they held our luggage and we had full use of the facilities and amenities they provided. We had bathing suits and cover ups in our carry-on's so we changed and headed right for the beach. The front desk took down my cell and said that they would call me as soon as our room was ready.
Hotel was lovely. The grounds were beautiful! This is a beachfront hotel so we only needed to walk across the sandy boardwalk to get there. After a bit of water play and sunshine we were ready for lunch. DD and I opted to sit at a table by the pool and eat al fresco. The food here was eh and of course overpriced - but once again I expected that!
When we were done eating at about 1:00PM, we walked over to the front desk and our room was ready for us. We decided to go up and deposit our luggage and freshen up and re-sunscreen. We were in a suite. This was nice because it gave a place to just dump our luggage and not have to step over stuff. I can't say too much else about the accommodations as we really were not in this room very much. My DD only wanted to go back to the beach! This was fine with me and back we went for a while. We also sat by the pool and enjoyed the floating stuff the hotel provided.
We showered and changed and went down and caught a cab to Bayside Marketplace to meet some of the CC folks who were in town already for a pre-cruise dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. What a fun time! It was really wonderful to put face and voice to some of the people we had been emailing with! We took along our baseball caps and it was easy to find each other! We had a lot of laughs at dinner and then my DD and Chucks DS went off to do a little shopping while the adults went to an outdoor bar and had a drink. We left shortly after to catch a cab back to the hotel. DD and I were both exhausted having been up since 3:00AM.
Embarkation Day
Saturday morning I woke early. We got our bags together and DD and I had a nice leisurely breakfast in the hotel restaurant. This meal was much better than our lunch the day before. They had a very extensive buffet with an omelet station. The food was good as was the service. We checked out and got a cab over to the pier. Took photos of the ships as we drove over. It was pretty cool for us because the RCCL ship that my other children were on was docked with only one ship between us.
We got to the pier at around 10:30. Handed our luggage over to the porter and then took a few photos in front of the terminal. When we entered there was a line of people waiting to check in. We saw some of our fellow CC'rs here as well. Waited in the check-in line for about 15 minutes, got our sign and sail cards and then moved over to the line waiting to board. At about 11:15 they stopped pre-checking and everyone coming in got in line behind us. About 20 minutes later they let those of us who already had our sign and sail cards pass through security and head over to a waiting area with chairs. We received info sheets and were told that we would be able to board in a few minutes. The Lido Deck was ready and waiting for us but not to go to our cabins until after 1:00PM as they were still being cleaned. As promised just a few minutes later we were allowed to proceed. Walked through the terminal, got our sign and sail pics and then the embarkation photo. We were on the ship at noon.
We boarded with some other CC Members and we all headed to the Lido Deck. Got settled at a couple of tables and got some food and drink. There was a table set up to purchase Fountain Cards and we got my DD one while the line was short.
At 1:00PM my DD and I headed for our cabin. We were on the Empress Deck, 7409. We met Sherwin, our cabin Steward. He said that he still had a couple of things to do but it was OK for my DD to stay. She began unpacking her carry-on and I headed over to the London Dining Room where we had a late seating time to get info on our dinner table. I like to check this out right away! I was told that we were at a large table and there were some teens seated with us. Just what I wanted to hear!
DD and I decided to walk around a bit and reacquaint ourselves with the ship before heading back to the cabin for PFD's and the Muster Drill. Muster Drill was pretty quick and painless this time. We returned our PFD's and headed out to the Sky Deck for a SailAway Meet and Greet with our fellow Triumph Travellers CC Members. As soon as the other girls her age arrived they made quick introductions (they had been emailing pre-cruise) and then took off! We adults had a nice time hanging out. Went to a lower deck and got some drinks and chatted.
Only my DD and I as well as one other couple from our CC group had a late dinner seating so after a while we went our separate ways. I headed back to the cabin to re-meet up with DD and see if luggage had arrived. One of my DD's bags was there and she unpacked. I laid down for a rest. We talked about plans for later in the evening and the Camp Carnival First Meeting time was scheduled for 8:00PM. I told DD that it was fine for her to go to that and go off with the kids and skip dinner that night. We made a trip to the Dining Room so she could see where our table was in case she needed to find me.
We had another CC Meet and Greet scheduled for 7:00PM in the Atrium. DD and I went down but those who had the early dinner seating did not make it. The few of us who had late seating sat and chatted for a bit then went to get ready for dinner. I went to the Vienna Cafe for my first double cap of the cruise and also to the internet area to sign up for package for the week. The plan was for my other children to do the same on the RCCL ship so we could keep in touch. I checked several times throughout the week but my other kids never emailed so I wound up letting DD use the time to email her friends whom she missed! Then it was back to the cabin to freshen up for dinner and DD went off to the Teen Meeting. Luggage was all there and I unpacked.
I went to dinner at 8:30 in the London Dining Room. My tablemates were all already seated when I arrived. We were seated with a single father who was with his 2 teen age children (DD 16 and DS 18) and each of his kids had a friend with them. The sign language interpreter for the sailing was also at our table. We had a nice time talking and getting to know each other. My DD came to dinner with me every other night and all tablemates showed up every night as well.
Our Headwaiter was Harry and the Assistant was Dennis. They were great! I just love how they remember the details about what you like after the first night. Amazes me how they make each one of us feel as if we are the only PAX they have served and yet they do this every week!
Our CC group had one more Meet and Greet scheduled for 10:00PM (Adults Only) in the Oxford lounge so I headed there after dinner. Only one other CC'er made it and we had a drink and chatted for a bit before both going off to bed tired and ready to rest for the next day!
Days at Sea:
We had 3 days at sea on this itinerary which I really liked and was one of the reasons I chose Triumph. We did a variety of things on the various days. We checked out photos and made gift shop purchases, found some chairs on the Lido Deck and relaxed, ordered room service and ate on our balcony, got together with our fellow CC Triumph Travelers.
We did not attend many of the scheduled functions.
I will say that on the first Sea Day DD and her friends tried to do a couple of the Camp Carnival scheduled activities for Teens. Some of them went to the Dance Class with a Triumph Dancer and not one Carnival staff member showed up! They also went to Scooter Soccer and were put in groups with much younger kids and they left in disappointment. After those experiences DD was not really keen on checking out the scheduled activities for the teens and the kids just hung out as they wanted instead.
I did go to the Wine Tasting in the California Wine Bar (also on the first sea day) which I enjoyed. Boy was that place packed and overflowing! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and were very friendly in spite of the close quarters. The wine tasting was a selection of white wines. They gave us a list of white wines with a brief description of each wine. We were able to order whatever we wanted to try for $2 per glass. I am a red wine drinker and was disappointed to find out that this was the only wine tasting of the week but enjoyed trying some whites and meeting new people! Also saw some of the CC folks there.
The Lido Deck was very crowded on these days. There was A LOT of chair saving going on! What I found most annoying were the people who saved chairs for their younger kids…you just NEVER saw these kids lying in a lounge chair! At best they would go over to their parents while they were eating an ice cream or something and usually just plopped down on the edge of their parents chair for a minute or two before running off again. I never saw adults in those chairs so I am assuming that they were saved for the kids but one never really knows!
We usually found chairs further up or when DD was off with other kids I enjoyed the privacy of the cabin balcony and a good book.
DD and I had decided on Paradise Beach before we went for a few reasons. DD really wanted a day at a fun beach! We had looked at the excursions on the Carnival website and DD was hooked when she saw the Beach Break! We looked into a Swim with Dolphins but due to our late booking for such a busy time only "encounters" were offered and not "swims". I tried directly through Dolphin Discoveries as well. I thought about Xcaret but although I would have loved that I was not so sure that it was what DD would enjoy. We decided to table the Dolphin Swim and possibly do it in Jamaica or just wait until the next cruise! I knew that the Carnival excursion was to Playa Mia and I was able to go directly to their website and see what that would cost for the same thing. I also checked out some other beaches. I decided on Paradise Beach - same water toys as Playa Mia for my DD and I, menu looked good and prices reasonable and I had read good reviews of the food etc on the CC Boards. I figured that since Play Mia was where the cruise ship excursions went that it would be pretty crowded and Paradise Beach might not be as bad.
The day before Cozumel I made arrangements to go with CC friends to the beach. At around 9:45 we headed down to our CC friends cabin. We all headed down to the gangway. The line to get off was not bad and went quickly. We purchased cold water bottles just before we got off. There were 2 photo op's at the gangplank there - one with the life preserver and one with a man in 'native wear".
They sure do get you in Cozumel! You have to walk through a large Duty Free Shopping area before you can get anywhere! Once through that indoor area you reach a nice outdoor shopping area filled with all kind of shops and restaurants (Fat Tuesdays' etc). There is also a nice area with lounge chairs and hammocks where you can just relax and have a great view of the ships in port We walked through and went over to the taxi stand, They have a list of points of interest with taxi fares posted. As we were walking one of this girls realized that her lanyard had broken and fallen off during the walk. I took 2 of the girls and got a cab and our CC friends retraced footsteps with their DD and DS and were going to meet us at the beach. Cab fare to Paradise Beach was $12.
We got to the beach and paid the $5 pp for the wristband. Lounge chairs were free but the $5 pp gave us use of all the non-motorized toys for the day. There was a water trampoline, climbing water 'iceberg", kayaks, floats and snorkeling equipment. I found enough chairs for all of us. My CC friends arrived a few minutes later and the girls were off and checking everything out. For an additional cost there were motorized water sports - Jet ski's, banana boats etc - , Henna Tattoos, Hair braiding and massage. My DD got her hair braided. I found this be on the more expensive side compared to the various places we have gotten this done. If I recall correctly we paid $35 for just the half head.
We had a very enjoyable day here! We all ordered lunch right on the beach and had the Pina Colada in the pineapple. Food was very good and I thought very reasonably priced. Keep in mind that they do not take American Express cards! I DID know this in advance but somehow left my MC in the safe in the cabin! I had some cash but wound up putting my lunch on CC Friends credit card and paying them back later.
Also of note….In order to use a Kayak or Snorkel gear you must put down a deposit which is returned when you return the equipment.
At some point in the afternoon we decided that we were ready to go back and we got 2 cabs again. DD and I went back to the ship. We had about a 20 minute wait on the line to reboard. We brought our beach stuff up to the cabin and freshened up a bit then we got back off the ship and did a little shopping. We were just interested in souvenir type things so I can't comment on any other prices or "finds". We went back to the ship and found a very long line to reboard. We were waiting for about an hour before we finally got back on the ship. Had a nice chat with the people around us though! Suppose we could have done something else and come back but DD was tired from all the activity at the beach and she was able to sit down while I stood in line.
Paradise Beach was great and I would recommend it.
Grand Cayman
We knew that we wanted to have a visit to Stingray City. These boards at CC are priceless for all the info you can glean! I emailed several private tour companies in advance. Based on times of excursions available I had selected Native Way Watersports and the Rays/Reef excursion for us.
The plan was to have an early excursion then get back to the ship and have lunch and still have time for a visit to 7 mile Beach.
HOWEVER…..this was the ONE morning that I did not wake up very early!! I overslept and woke to realize that we were late. We tossed our stuff together quickly and made it down to deck 0 and the tender but by the time we got across to the pier we had missed our tour!! There was a man there with a Native Way sign as they had other excursions as well. I talked to him and explained. He got on his phone and talked to someone and then told me that there was another excursion about to leave the dock. I decided to jump on that one and he personally drove us in his car over to the dock. He remained in contact with the Captain of that boat so they knew we were arriving.
This "new" excursion was the Rays/Reef and Rum Point. We first boated over to Stingray City. There were only about 20 people on this excursion and the guides we had were wonderful! We anchored in a spot that was a good distance from what looked like much larger boats with LOTS of people which was nice. Each of us had the opportunity to have personal time with the guides. They held the Stingray and helped each of us to do the same and also took turns putting them on our backs. We also had the opportunity to each feed them if we wanted and time to snorkel and swim with the Stingrays as well before getting back on the boat.
Went over to a reef where we again had great service from the guides and time to swim and snorkel before we got back on the boat. As we got on the boat we were handed a menu and made our lunch order. The Captain called the lunch order in so that when we arrived at Rum Point our lunches would be ready for us.
Rum Point was nice. The food was brought out to a table and we could take ours and sit. There were plenty of picnic tables to sit at. After we ate I relaxed on a lounge chiar and my DD played on the beach and in the water with some other kids. There was a bar and shop but we were not into that. The bathrooms were well kept and clean.
After about an hour here we got back on the boat and headed back to the dock. Small bus brought us back to the pier. We still had time to walk around and souvenir shop a bit before getting in line for the tender back to the ship.
The line was long but moved pretty quickly as they can fit a lot of people on the tenders. As always, we had fun chatting with fellow cruisers waiting on line around us!
Ocho Rios
I have been to Jamaica on land vacations and seen a lot of sights in the past. I love Jamaica! I think it is just beautiful! My DD was not interested in doing the Falls this trip and when we discussed excursions prior to the trip we decided that we just wanted to "hang" here.
DD slept pretty late on this morning and I just let her go for it! I had woken her up to watch us pull into port early and after enjoying that and taking some pics she went back to sleep I was really enjoying myself with a book out on the balcony!! Ahhhh! R&R! She had a bite to eat and we got off the ship. By then the photo guys were gone. We decided to walk around a bit and headed left at the end of the pier. We walked by the beach but it was so hot and humid we decided to check out some shops first. Very pushy venders and shop keepers in Jamaica! My DD was getting frustrated and bothered by it after a bit and we were hungry so we decided to walk over to the Island Village shopping area and go to Margaritaville. We hung out there for awhile and saw some of our CC friends. Went back to the ship and had no line to get back on which was nice! We spent the rest of the time on the balcony watching people come back from the excursions.
Some Fun CC Triumph Travelers Stuff:
It was great to have the opportunity to "meet" people in advance and hang out with them on the cruise! The kids hung out and did some things together and the adults met up several times throughout the week to meet for a drink or a chat and sometimes to have dinner or go on excursions together. As a solo adult this was a nice option for me! I always meet people on a cruise and also enjoy alone time and adding this aspect as well was really nice!
Our group continued with the "it" game and had fun posting to thread when we got back to find out who was "It"
We also had the scavenger hunt which we tallied at a meeting in the Atrium on the afternoon of the last day at sea. Not everyone participated in this but it was fun for those who did and I think that even those who did not had fun watching us go through our stuff at tally time!
We had originally been planning an evening Adult Only Excursion into Cozumel but we decided that we would make some fun on the ship instead! While sitting there having drinks in the Oxford it was decided that we would have a "Cabin Crawl". We got the listing of all the CC people in our group with their cabin #'s and we began! We would go to each cabin and have a drink and then move on to the next cabin. We would pick up members as we went a long! This was really a blast! We decided to start on the highest deck and work our way down. As we got into the elevator to head up to Deck 11 the elevator across from us opened and lo and behold was one of our fellow CC'ers! So we waved him into our elevator and began. We met some other people as we hung on various balconies and invited them to join us. This was really so much fun!! At one point we stopped at the bar near the casino and decided that we should go up to the Lido Deck and check out the big party that was going on up there. Lots of music and dancing and we finished the night there.
CABIN Empress Deck, 7409, Balcony, Starboard side, far aft. Cabin was just as we expected. We had more then enough closet, drawer and cabinet space for all of our stuff. The bathroom is roomy for a ship and the cabinet on the wall held everything we needed. There was a bowl on the sink filled with samples – some we used and some we did not - , shower gel and shampoo pumps in the shower. Water pressure was great! Plenty of towels. The beds were set up as 2 twins. The blankets have been updated since the last time we cruised and we loved them! Very soft, cozy duvets. With decks of cabins below and above noise from common areas was not an issue.
I spent a ton of time on the balcony! At night I slept with the door open and dozed off listening to the sound of the ocean lapping against the side of the ship…HEAVENLY!!
Both myself and DD thought that the food was very good. I am a big red meat person and love to have steaks when I go out to eat. I like it medium rare and that is how I got it. My DD tried a couple of things and also ate from the children's menu. We ordered Caesar salads even when it was not on the menu and filet mignon was available when not listed on the menu as well. The appetizers I had were wonderful, the soups were a little bland in my opinion, entrees were all good and the desserts that I had were great. I had a decaf cappuccino every night.
The Paris Dining Room is open for breakfast seating each day. We only made it to the dining room for breakfast one morning. I am not an early in the day eater and my DD slept in and preferred to get something on the Lido Deck when she got up or room service. The breakfast menu is the same every day and covers your basic breakfast fare – eggs, cereal, French toast, bagels etc. The food on the Lido Deck was exactly he same selections
Open seating lunch was also in the Paris Dining Room. This only fit into our schedule on 2 days. The portions for lunch seemed to be much smaller than what they served for dinner. If you know that you are hungry order 2!
The South Beach on the Lido Deck had a nice variety of food and everything that we had we enjoyed. Of course the pizza and the grill food is always a hit. I had great pastrami on rye at the Deli on our last sea day.
There always seemed to be tables available but we actually enjoyed carrying our plates down to our cabin and eating on the balcony.
Other Places:
On my previous Triumph trip I visited more of the venues than I did on this one. Those I frequented this trip:
Oxford Lounge – Very nice and inviting. My DD and I enjoyed music in here nightly before going to dinner. Classical and Jazz. I also met CC friends here for a drink after dinner many nights. This is a good meeting place because it is large, has comfy seats and you can sit and talk and plan on what to do next.
Big Easy – One of my favorite places! I just adore the piano bar! I went here most nights and once I entered I usually stayed until it closed down. I seem to always meet a lot of great and interesting people in the piano bars!
California Wine Bar – I liked to stop here sometimes before going into the Big Easy. A small bar and a nice place to meet someone and chat in a quieter atmosphere.
Atrium – Great place to people watch! I often sat here in the late afternoon after I got my double cap and before moving up to my balcony.
Shows – My DD and I only wound up attending one show. It was good and we enjoyed it but we just did not fit this into our schedule.
Captains Party – We started out on the Club Rio but wound up moving over to Venezia because it was just so crowded in Rio. We were able to find a table and enjoy the music and appetizers and drinks well in Venzia.
Past Guest Party – My DD's first and she really enjoyed it!
Getting off ? and going home
Hate this part!!! Triumph was on the "newer" system of not calling decks. First were the PAX who would carry off their own luggage. NOT an option for us!!! We had packed and put our luggage out on Friday night before we went to dinner. Then early flight and tours were called and then there was a general call. We were not told that we had to be out of our cabins at a certain time. I let DD sleep and got some of her favorite cinnamon rolls on the Lido Deck for when she woke up. We took our time getting ourselves together and made a couple of calls to my other children who were getting off the RCCL ship which was docked right down the pier from us. Vienna Café was open so I had a last double cap on my balcony! Photo Shop was open but we were finished with that venue! At around 9:45 we decided to venture down and get in line to get off the ship. I am not really sure how long this took because I don't wear a watch and what are you going to do about it anyway? Long and slow process but once again we chatted with people and had fun! Got through customs and went to find our luggage and get on a shuttle bus to FLL. I had purchased airport transfer for this through Carnival.
We got to FLL with a couple of hours to spare until our flight. DD had a cold that started the afternoon before and she was not feeling well. Got her some meds and then she sat while I waited in line for Chili's. We had lunch and then headed over to our gate.
There was some bad weather in NYC and I saw some delays going on. Our flight took off on time but when we got to JFK we were unable to land and circling. Wound up having to be diverted to Atlantic City to refuel and then back up to circle some more before finally landing about 3 ½ hours later than scheduled. I have to say that Jet Blue handled this better than any other airline I have experienced! They kept us informed the entire time with many announcements and also brought a bunch of pizza on board while we were refueling so everyone could eat. My concern was that my other children were also flying into NYC and were supposed to come home after they landed. I used the refueling time to get on my cell and leave a message for my ex husband and make arrangements for my parents to be there to collect my children if they got home before me….which they did.
I had another wonderful cruise on the Triumph!! Of course I am suffering from PCD and am now looking into a family cruise for next year and a solo cruise for myself before the end of this year.
Happy Cruising!! Less

Sayville is a hamlet and census-designated place in Suffolk County, New York, United States. Located on the South Shore of Long Island in the Town of Islip, the population of the CDP was 16,853 at the time of the 2010 census.
The earliest known inhabitants of Sayville were the Secatogue tribe of the Algonquian peoples.
Sayville was founded by John Edwards (b. 1738) of East Hampton, New York. He built his home, the first in Sayville, in 1761, located at what is now the northwest corner of Foster Avenue and Edwards Street. The house was destroyed by fire in March 1913. Another man, John Greene, settled what is now known as West Sayville in 1767.
The community had no formal name until 1838 when residents gathered to choose a name for their post office, which had opened on March 22, 1837. Until that time, Sayville was known informally as "over south". The townspeople held a meeting to decide on a name, and after Edwardsville and Greensville tied in a vote, one resident suggested "Seaville". According to historical accounts, the clerk at that particular meeting did not know how to spell and had to go home and look in an old Bible he had brought from England years before. In the Bible, the word "sea" was spelled "s-a-y",
and "Sayville" became the name he sent to Washington. After the error was discovered, the community sent a letter of protest to Washington D.C.; however, the Postmaster General responded
that the name should stay "Sayville", as there were many "Seaville"s in the world but no "Sayville"s. As a result, the name stuck. Incidentally, in some very old Bibles, the town name is also spelled "S-a-v-i-l-l-e".
Sayville became important mainly for its timber and oysters. Beginning in 1868, when the South Side Railroad arrived, the hamlet became a summer tourist destination. Over 30 hotels were built in the area, which hosts a ferry to Fire Island. Between 1880 and 1930, many grand homes and estates were built in Sayville, including Meadow Croft, the home of John Ellis Roosevelt, a cousin of Theodore Roosevelt. Meadow Croft still stands and is part of Suffolk County's San Souci Lakes Nature Preserve.
In 1912 a German Telefunken wireless transmitter was built in Sayville (now West Sayville) to broadcast to Germany. In 1915 the transmitter allegedly relayed a message from the German embassy to "get Lucy", referring to the RMS Lusitania which was sunk on May 15. Whether the signals coming from the transmitter in Sayville authorized the attack or not, they caused concern for the US government, which dispatched Marines to ensure that encrypted messages were not sent. The station was seized by the government outright after war was declared in 1917. President Woodrow Wilson sent a contingent of Marines to seize the wireless station, making it the first hostile action taken by the United States against Germany during World War I.
Father Divine's ostentation annoyed the middle-class residents. Excess traffic that Father Divine attracted made him unpopular even to businesses he patronized with large cash purchases. Following a June 1932 trial and prison sentence for disturbing the peace, Father Divine moved to Harlem, New York, claiming that Sayville was racist. However, the commune remained on Macon Avenue for many years. Father Divine occasionally preached in Sayville afterward, but the home was only an outpost of his movement, not its headquarters.
In 1994, California State University at Fresno designated Sayville the "friendliest town in America".
Sayville is the embarkation point for ferries to the Fire Island communities of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines, both popular vacation communities for LGBT New Yorkers, as well as to Sailors Haven, which includes the Sunken Forest. The Sayville train station has connections to the ferries via taxi and van services.

Until recently, the US was always the world's "consumer of last resort". Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods exchange rate system in the early-1970s and the subsequent huge increase in cross-border capital flows, the US easily absorbed more and more of the world's surplus savings. This was particularly so in recoveries after US recessions. The US current account moved into modest deficit in the late-1970s and into much larger deficit in the 1980s. Thereafter, the deficits got even bigger, reaching a peak of almost 6 per cent of US gross domestic product before the onset of the global financial crisis.
The latest US recovery is, thus, unique. This time, the current account deficit has continued to shrink. Lots of explanations are offered, most obviously the decline in America's dependency on imported fossil fuels thanks to the shale energy revolution. Yet, if that were true, Saudi Arabia and other oil producers should be running much smaller current account surpluses; mostly, they are not. Read more

and how would we determine where to place said button? No matter what principles you apply, it's pretty much going to be wrong.

This is important for figuring out how to use a new extension. Mike: It's easier to move a button than it is to hunt for and add it, so even if Firefox adds the button in the wrong place, it's better than not adding it at all.

Expose a standard function which take toolbar id and position (either absolutely or relatively to a widget id) for adding a new toolbarbutton once programmatically. At least in mozilla, new button is appended before the location entry. For now, I have to popup an alert dialog telling users to customize after a installation. And I have installed a few other toolbar extension which has no such warning. Result? After a installation, nothing changed with a restart if I did not look at the customize palette. Most users have no idea that you can customize a firefox toolbar.

therein lies the rub. If we stick it in the wrong place, how will users know
how to change it? In Firefox, there's no limitation on where you can have
items. If its related to a certain function, you could add it next to that
element (i.e. if you have something to convert typed URLs, it would logically go
next to the urlbar element, other buttons are trickier).
I'm not saying we won't do something like this, I'm just saying that it would be
a pain to implement
I think I prefer the buttons appear, if even on the far right end of the menubar, so that someone knows there are buttons.

PubSub Sidebar extension (0.5.356 tested on FF 1.0.3) - http://www.pubsub.com/sidebar_firefox.php adds automatically its button to the toolbar. Also it checks if button is showing and if not it re-adds it back. I would say that if user can customize his toolbar then such action by extension should be disallowed (allow to show it on install but not force user to disable the extension if he did not want to see the button e.g. he would use view -> sidebar to use the extension).

Robstrong, I'd love for you to take a look at this... mconnor has been wanting to rewrite the toolbar-customization code, but this may be easier than a total rewrite.

The toolbar customization code still does a lot of scary things that I'd like to fix on trunk using importNode, but doing this for 2.0 would be absolutely great.

If an extension is able to define that it should have a toolbar button on toolbar 'x' after widget 'y' or before/after position 'n' there is still no good way to guarantee that the toolbar / widget / position specified is currently shown or valid. I think something along the lines of the following is a better solution. Create a new type of toolbar that is displayed on first run after an extension that has toolbar buttons is installed with only the buttons for the newly installed extension shown or possibly all of the buttons for the installed extensions that are not already on other toolbars. The buttons on this toolbar should probably only allow drag and drop of the buttons it has to other toolbars and the toolbar would also have the ability to easily close on the toolbar itself. There would be lots of details to hash out such as how to gaurantee the toolbar isn't displayed multiple times for the same extension, how to best handle upgrades, etc. but I think this is less error prone than trying trying to guarantee what can't be guaranteed. This toolbar could also have the ability to open the help docs to educate users about customizing toolbars.

I am writing an extension for someone who wants a toolbar button, with a popup in it, added after install. I definitely understand the philosophical point behind the suggestion that having extensions forcibly install buttons is not a good thing. However, these people have customers who would be willing to have this happen. So, does it need to be made technically difficult? I have also observed that doing the install and then not calling BrowserToolboxCustomizeDone leads to weird behavior. A code snippet on MDC says "If you don't do the following call, funny things happen" (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Code_snippets:Toolbar#Adding_button_by_default). Really? Like a right-mouse button press anywhere in the window bringing up the popup menu and thereafter stealing all keystrokes? Like going to the Toolbar->Customize menu option and hitting Done causes the entire app to ignore all mouse clicks? Funny things like that? "Funny" is probably not the word I would use. And after calling BrowserToolboxCustomizeDone? Well, different "funny" things are happening. And, oddly, these problems only appear on Windows. I am used to seeing problems on the Mac only and then, as my ex used to say, "it must suck to be you." I am not used to seeing something work on the Mac and go wonky on XP....

I think most extensions that modify the toolbar either (1) add a new toolbar with multiple items or (2) add a single button that does something completely unrelated to the rest of the buttons in the navigation toolbar. Under that assumption, here's a suggestion: - Have an "Add-ons" toolbar, hidden by default, that extensions can overlay. Or maybe have a function call somewhere to add the button by ID. - Normally the user would never see this toolbar. - When a new add-on is installed, and if it adds a button to the Add-ons toolbar, the toolbar appears. Perhaps the navigation toolbar can show some button at the very end that allows to easily toggle it. - If the user wants, he can move the button to the navigation toolbar and forget about the Add-ons toolbar. Pros: - Users who install lots of extensions will have a single toolbar with icons for all the ones that choose to only add one. - The navigation bar will be cleaner. - This approach doesn't depend on adding buttons at a specific position. Cons: - Some developers will refuse to do this because they want their icon with maximum visibility. - If you only install one extension like this, you'll end up with a whole toolbar and one button in it. Perhaps the first time the toolbar is displayed, Firefox could also show a message suggesting that the button can be moved up, and the toolbar can be hidden.

Jorge, while your argument makes perfect sense for Firefox extensions and, given recent screencasts and mockups, does indeed look like the path the Firefox team is taking for the forthcoming versions, what about Thunderbird? There's multiple toolbars in Thunderbird: - message compose toolbar - address book toolbar - mail toolbar (the big one at the top of the main window) - message toolbar (the small one just on top of a given message) - and I'm probably forgetting one or two. I think there's little chance that any of them will ever have a matching "addons toolbar". Plus, toolbars such as the message toolbar are *the* place to add message-related actions. The contents of that toolbar are very consistent, and it feels quite natural for extensions to add buttons there. Let's imagine an extension that, for RSS messages, adds a "Share on Facebook" button in the message reader toolbar. That extension would definitely need such a mechanism. So please don't consider this as a WONTFIX. I firmly believe that's still a feature that needs to be implemented.

(In reply to comment #12) > Jorge, while your argument makes perfect sense for Firefox extensions and, > given recent screencasts and mockups, does indeed look like the path the > Firefox team is taking for the forthcoming versions, what about Thunderbird? You're right, I was only thinking about Firefox when I proposed this. However, I also think that UI and add-on UI hooks are very dependent on the target application, and I doubt that there's a one-size-fits-all solution for all XUL-based applications. To clarify, my suggestion is for Firefox only, and a different approach should be considered for Thunderbird if there is in fact a number of different reasonable places to add toolbar buttons.

Moving to a more appropriate component, since this isn't something the Add-ons Manager can solve.

Throughout its history ATK has enjoyed a tremendous winning tradition. From desert racing to the dirt track ATK finishes first at the finish line. A reputation of winning follows ATK not only in racing but also in ground breaking product innovation. Technology firsts, such as ATK's namesake - the anti-tension kutentraub, side mounted shocks, linkless suspension, the first fuel-injected offroad motorcycle, and the first production motard have all moved the industry forward.
ATK's pace setting quality standards in engineering and manufacturing build reliability into every vehicle. In 2003 ATK purchased the remaining inventory of Cannondale Motorsports. This purchase added ATV's to the ATK product line. For over two years ATK has refined and evolved the Cannondale platform. In 2004 ATK took first place in the Grand National Cross Country Championship and two Canadian National championships. The winning tradition continues.
As the only remaining off-road motorcycle manufacturer in the United States, ATK is still proud to put "Made in the U.S.A." on our vehicles.

Mutual Fund #3: Fidelity Low-Priced Stock (FLPSX)
Fidelity Low-Priced Stock (FLPSX) continues to defy gravity with assets of over $31 billion in this mid-cap blend fund. Manager Joel Tillinghast leads a team that targets stocks priced at $35 per share or less. This leads him and his associates to medium-sized firms that often fly under the radar of Wall Street and its legion of analysts.
For the most part, midcap stocks are not understood or followed as closely as large-cap household name businesses. This creates opportunity for good stock pickers such as Tillinghast, and shareholders have benefited from his leadership since 1989. The fund's 10.5% annualized return over the past decade places it in the top 7% of its Morningstar category.
FLPSX is large, holding more than 800 stocks at present. Consumer discretionary names make up 25% of the portfolio — with technology names accounting for 19% of assets. Recently, top holdings included UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Seagate Technology (STX), Best Buy (BBY), Ross Stores (ROST) and Microsoft. You even get some exposure to foreign stocks, as 14% of the fund is in Europe presently.
Again, this is a manager that trades infrequently, with turnover of just 11% over the past year. Fidelity charges a reasonable 0.80% in expenses, or $80 for every $10,000 invested.

Maybe you're new to this whole mountain biking thing, or maybe you just want to take a stab at trail riding on 29″ wheels, but either way, the overdrive will get you out having fun. The 6061-t6 aluminum alloy is a trusted frame material, and the custom formed and butted tubes create a structure that is uniquely strong and lightweight. The machined head tube lets you steer with precision and the forged rear dropouts with a replaceable derailleur hanger mean you don't have to worry about something breaking. All that's left to you is to get out and ride.
Great Bike!

Ask the Editor: Insurance, Excursions and Storms
What to Expect: Hurricane Season Cruising
(5:40 p.m. EDT) -- As Hurricane Irene continues its relentless path up the East Coast, the Bahamas is counting the cost of the storm that ravaged its islands.
The eye of the hurricane missed the major population center and cruise destination of Nassau on New Providence Island, which has a population of 200,000. Freeport, another popular cruise port on Grand Bahama Island, also escaped with only minor structural damage, although power outages, fallen trees and flooding continue to affect both islands.
Here's an assessment of the damage so far and the immediate outlook for the destination:
Some of the out islands, including Acklins Island, have sustained serious structural damage, according to local media reports.
According to the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, there is "limited damage" in Nassau and on Grand Bahama and a "quick return to normal operations" is expected.
Airports in Nassau and Grand Bahama Island (also according to the Ministry of Tourism) are back in operation. Assessments of airports throughout the other islands are still underway.
Cruise ports in Nassau and Grand Bahama are expected to be open for business on Saturday, August 27; most ships destined for those calls will visit as planned.
Angela Culmer, a Bahamas resident posting on the hurricane-tracking Web site Stormcarib.com, says: "Damage is mainly fallen trees and power lines. Many residents are without power. According to the radio, BEC [Bahamas Electricity Corporation] are on the road already assessing the damage so we are hopeful that we will be back to normal ASAP."
Many cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival, have private beaches on some of the smaller out islands and ships have been diverted from these.
Here's what we know so far:
Holland America Line says it has assessed the impact to its private island, Half Moon Cay, in the Bahamas. It said in a statement that it "expects [the island] to be operational for cruise ship visits by Sunday, September 4. Damage was limited and can be easily addressed and all horses are well with no injuries. Repairs will be made to some island structures, vegetation will be replanted in various areas, and the main guest beach will be renewed in those areas impacted by erosion."
A spokeswoman for Royal Caribbean in the U.K. told Cruise Critic: "Monarch of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas will not call on CocoCay this weekend as Royal Caribbean International feels that the guest experience could be impacted. A full assessment of conditions at CocoCay is underway."
We're waiting for an update from Princess Cruises about any issues on Princess Cay.
According to a Norwegian spokeswoman, Great Stirrup Cay -- its private island -- has received "some damage" and a team is now evaluating it.
Disney has scrapped a visit by Disney Dream to Castaway Cay, its private island, saying in a staetment that the line is "taking time to fully inspect and prepare Castaway Cay to welcome guests again in the near future."
Elsewhere, the Turks and Caicos, southeast of the Bahamas archipelago, also escaped Irene with minimal structural damage. Like the Bahamas, however, the island suffered extensive flooding and fallen trees. A Carnival spokesman told Cruise Critic that the line's Grand Turk Cruise Center had sustained "minor" damage, a clean-up operation was already in place and that the facility would start receiving cruise ships again this Saturday.

As they start to see growing demand, fractional aircraft providers are beginning to recall furloughed pilots to fill cockpit vacancies. Yesterday, Cleveland-based Flight Options announced it is recalling eight furloughed pilots to fill open seats in its Citation X fleet. "We are extremely pleased to be able to announce the recall. [Those pilots'] return to our team reflects our confidence in the company's continued growth, as well as the strong partnership we have forged with our pilots," said Flight Options CEO Michael Silvestro. "Our recall of these experienced pilots comes as we expand our fleet and increase capacity for our fractional ownership, membership and jet card programs." While the company–which currently employs 311 pilots–still has 203 pilots on furlough, Silvestro told AIN, "We are continuing to work creatively and diligently every day toward bringing all of our furloughed pilots back to Flight Options as soon as possible." Meanwhile, CitationAir today confirmed that it recalled 14 more furloughed pilots in January. At press time, the Greenwich, Conn.-based fractional company did not provide AIN with either the number of pilots remaining on furlough or the number currently employed.
