More fun at sea, Palo, whales, St. Thomas
Picking up from my last journal entry on Sunday, March 10, I have lots of fun to share.
On Sunday night, we had dinner at Palo, one of the two adults-only fee restaurants on Fantasy. We made our way to deck 12 aft and had a glass of wine at the Meridian bar, located between Palo and Remy. There was quite a bit of ship motion and a stiff breeze blowing outside, so we sat inside at the lovely bar. We were seated around 7:00 pm and had a very sweet young lady from Britain as our server. The food was incredible, from the antipasti to the appetizers and our amazing entrees. We started with the antipasti, with artichokes, olives, grilled peppers and killer Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. I then had an appetizer of grilled shrimp pesto done with a light touch of mussels and crab in the sauce; Steve had a yummy Tuscan bean soup for his first course. We both had the rack of Colorado lamb, which was absolutely exquisite. Our dessert was the famous Palo chocolate soufflé with vanilla bean ice cream. For $25 a person, this is an amazing gourmet experience. We finished the evening with a cognac tasting in the Cove Cafe near the Quiet Cove pool (I showed pictures of the actual Cognac area during the tasting; I'm not sure the other passengers appreciated that, but it seemed like a good opportunity). We happily scored another reservation for Palo on the last night of the cruise.
Monday, March 11 was another day at sea. We slept in until 10:00 am, had breakfast again at Cabanas, then enjoyed lots of deck time. I had back pain and spasms first thing in the morning, but fortunately it did improve. We put our swimsuits on and enjoyed the pool area in the Quiet Cove and spent some time in the ocean-facing hot tub. While relaxing on some lounge chairs near the hot tub, I went into whale watch mode, knowing we were near the Dominican Republic and the Silver Banks, the winter mating/calving grounds for a large pod of humpback whales. Sure enough, I spotted whale action and the ship nearly tipped over from the folks running over to the port side to see a few animals spy-hopping and breaching.
We finished our evening on Monday with dinner at the Royal Court, one of the rotation restaurants. Before dinner, we bought all sorts of stupid pirate gear for Tuesday night, which is Pirates night, with the fireworks at sea. The dinner at Royal Court was ok, but not spectacular. We both had the duck breast appetizer (the best thing that evening), followed by French Onion soup and a tenderloin steak entree. The beef was good, but bland (they forgot to bring the sauce). Oh, well – the rotation restaurants are the equivalent of the theme park restaurants at WDW , while Remy and Palo are like the best resort hotel restaurants. The Royal Court was beautiful, however, with mosaic images of the Disney princesses. Our bar journey after dinner last night took us to Ooh La La, in the adults-only Europa district. We had two killer bee champagne cocktails that sadly had the unfortunate side effect of causing heart burn for both of us during the night.
This morning we got up a little earlier because we had a shore excursion to Magen's Bay Beach for a few hours. We were docked in the first berth across from Charlotte Amalie. Two large Carnival ships shared this dock area, while Oasis of the Seas and the Maasdam docked in a new dock area west of town. The beach was jam-packed; we found a table to sit at in the shade near the bar, which was fine for me. The surf was quite high and rough and I had no intention of getting knocked on my can walking on the beach. Steve did a short walk, then joined me in the shade. We got into a fun and long conversation with two young men from Baltimore cruising on Oasis of the Seas and watched them down quite a few beers. We had a great time with them talking about travel. We came back to the ship about 3:00 pm and Steve was happy to finally ride the Aqua Duck (or as I call it, Le Canard Aqua).
Tonight we're back at Animator's Palate for dinner and the interactive show with guest-created animations, then fireworks at 10:15 pm after the loud and crazy Pirates deck show. Our shore excursion in San Juan tomorrow doesn't leave until 11:15 am, which is great. We're doing a Criollo cooking class in Old San Juan. We're having a really good time and think this ship is so gorgeous. Oh, and the Internet is extremely fast, which is quite dangerous.
More from our cruise very soon…

The results of this league gala are available here (JC Dobb results 3/3/18)
We had six speeding tickets, for swimming too fast at this gala. These probably cost us about 40 points which would have put us in contention for third place. This no-faster-than-times are meant as an incentive to field less experienced swimmers, but for some age groups we did not have much choice.
Samuel swam 25m butterfly 10% faster than ever before, Adam got a 5% PB at 50m breaststroke, Bethany a 12% PB in 25m freestyle, Sophie 4% in 50 backstroke, Taka 10% PB in 25m freestyle, Daniel 10% at 25m backstroke, Efan 5% in 50m backstroke, Coleby 2% had a pb in 50m backstroke.
Judd improved his county time in 50m free by 3%, and Lucian by 2%.
Henry and Matilda recorded new times in backstroke.
Isabelle D. 4% PB in 50m back, taking her within 2% of a county time.
Issy B. swam a 3% PB in 50 free which was an unofficial county qualifying time.
Thanks to the parents who organised and managed the teams.

Synapse, the main focus of the BML, is a web-based learning/teaching application. Synapse provides students with the ability to view lecture materials (including slides, movies, and audio), take online tests and quizzes, check their grades throughout the semester, chat or study with other students, as well as receive messages and handouts from their professors. Professors enjoy Synapse for the custom features built by the BML team and the Synapse Support Center, which provides many services to help students and professors get the most out of their Synapse experience. Synapse is constantly expanding as BML's software engineers and graphic designers improve and adapt the system. Synapse was first released in Fall 2006 at the University of Maine and currently serves over 1,200 students per semester covering 22 different courses and spanning six University of Maine campuses. If you would like more info about Synapse, or would like a demo account, please contact email@example.com.
Everyone knows a dynamic lecture is better than a stale one. In Synapse, a presentation does not have to be a download link, or a series of images. It can incorporate anything from your asset library, including YouTube videos, PDF articles, communique discussions, and audio tracks that can play while clicking through the presentation.
The goal of Synapse is to allow teachers to present rich media in a straightforward manner, reducing the hoops between student and content. Movies, animations, images, audio, and PDFs can all be displayed directly in the course. Web sites and YouTube videos can also be stored in your personal media and displayed in the body of your course.
Every course is different. In addition to customizing features to suit your needs, Synapse contains a plethora of preference settings for professors and students. From changing themes on axons and sounds in communique to setting questions per page in a quiz, Synapse has the potential to make a preference for almost anything you want.
A great tool for students to keep track of their past achievements and plan their future courses. This modules provides a common ground for students and their advisors to view how well a student has fulfilled his or her degree requirements. Access a current full transcript, as well as degree specific requirements and downloadable degree forms.
Numerous permission levels allow custom access to features (e.g., professors, students, observers, tutors, etc.). Visibility and deadlines for content can be customized for individual students. Tiered courses allow content to be deployed in one course and viewable in multiple specified sub courses (e.g., lab sections).
Professors can create their own rubrics to be reused for multiple assignments. Custom scales and categories allow for a wide range of designs and the grading interface makes it easy to see how ratings affect the overall grade. Feedback can be given on a category-by-category or overall basis.
Full grade book capabilities, and growing! Professors can manage online and offline assignments, view detailed statistics, and leave feedback for students. Bubble-sheet exams with multiple versions and clicker assignments can be imported. Detailed attempt tracking lets professors compare multiple attempts.
Communique is our active messaging program within Synapse. It allows two-way rich messaging capable of playing video, sharing movies, and creating a rich discussion arena. Coupled with the ability to have threaded private messages within a window, it provides a comprehensive tool that can be embedded directly in your course.
Synapse provides an asset library for each user to upload and build many types of content (e.g., movies, audio, PDFs, slide presentations, assessments, rubrics, etc.). Once in your library, the assets can be reused and deployed in multiple locations in multiple courses.

Apple's iTunes Connect Back In Business
December 28, 2010
The freeze has ended. Tired of playing games that are already in the App Store? Or, are you a developer that can't wait to release a new update? You'll be happy to know that iTunes Connect is back online after being shutdown for the holidays. Although Apple announced its iTunes Connect service would be offline until today, it appears to be online and already accepting app submissions. This means that new apps can be approved, and existing ones can be updated. Plus, those all important lists of the top selling apps in the App Store will be changing again soon. App developers can also change holiday sale prices. Among the offerings we've been waiting for are an updated Skype app which will include video conferencing. In addition, TIVO users were promised an iPad app before the end of the year. Plus, where is the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2011 Edition? Expect new and updated apps in the App Store very soon.

text: I can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since I last posted! Well, we made it through 2 years of commuting 260 miles per day, 4 days per week, so the kids could attend Ohio Valley Voices, the amazing oral deaf school in the Cincinnati area. We thought we'd be so happy this year, not having to make that drive. However, we've found that we miss Ohio Valley Voices terribly. The kids' first year in mainstream preschool has been okay, but it certainly isn't amazing. I keep telling myself, "this is what you wanted, this is what you (and the kids) have worked so hard for...mainstream schooling." I just didn't realize how good we had it when the kids were attending a school, in which all of the staff members are experts in hearing loss.
