Is Celebity better than Carnival?
We just returned from our first cruise on Carnival's Elation. We were very dissappointed!!!!! We travel alot but never wanted to do cruising, someone talked us into trying it and suggested we try an inexpensive, fun, ship to get the feel of cruising. Well, if that was what cruising was all about then I don't think it's for us. I felt like I was on a floating Howard Johnson. The people on board seemed like they had spent their last penny to do this cruise and had not done much other traveling. One night two women passengers had to be seperated after a punching brawl in the karaoke lounge! The food was horrible, the grill was so fly infested I was sick just walking by.(by the way, how does a fly get into the middle of the ocean?!?! ha ha)
I know I sound snobby, I'm sure some of you might bash me for that but the truth is we want a casual sophisticated cruise. One with good food, expemplory service, and exotic ports. We are willing to pay for what we expect. We just didn't expect such an eye opening experience on Carnival.
I have heard some good things about Celebrity but I don't know much about the ships themselves. Does this sound like a cruise line I would be interested in, if so, what ships? Thanks for listening to me vent....I just hate being an ass...
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Just about any line is better than Carnival for the very reasons you note. I particularly like Princess - and haven't yet sailed on Celebrity but will be next April. Both have excellent reputations. Good food, good service, clean ships.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I have sailed on Princess, Celebrity and a defunct line called Regency. Enjoyed the Grand Princess: above average food, nice service, excellent facilities and average stops. Sailed the on the Horizon: excellent food, excellent service, good facilities and above average ports. Will be sailing on the Celebrity Century in August. Both lines are very good and attract a middle/upper middle class crowd. Conde Noste Traveler continually rates Celebrity as the best of the mid priced cruise lines. I think you will be extremely happy with Celebrity-- and this is from a very picky traveler who has been around the world. I have yet to hear anything nice about Carnival except that it is cheap and if you are a swinger you'll find some action (). You will thank me when you travel Celeb. Good voyage!
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
we want a casual sophisticated cruise
With this criteria I wouldn't think Celebrity would fit the bill either. Somewhat sophisticated.. yes, casual... not really.
To meet your criteria, you may want to look at Oceania cruises, or one of Radisson Seven Seas select "casual" cruises.
I've been on quite a number of Carnival cruises (as well as Celebrity, Princess etc) and I've honestly really never encountered more of the problems you mentioned on Carnival as I have the other lines.
Every sailing of every ship on all the major cruise lines can have different sorts of crowds.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
We went on Carnival once, never again. Celebrity is wonderful, makes you feel relaxed and not that formal. Having gone on Celebrity 10 times. All different lengths , and never saw a brawl. If you don't want too many children go during the times they are in scholl and take a 10 or more day cruise. We love the M class of ship, big and so much to do or not. Food excellent (IMPO) Princess is our second favorite.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Princess or Celebrity would probably do nicely for you. I would lean towards celebrity. If you are considering princess, I would stay away from the Grand class ships.
If you have the means and you want to be really pampered, you may also want to consider crystal/radisson/silversea but I would not consider that "casual".

Re: Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I think you'd love Celebrity. I've been on the Century twice and am planning to go again this next year. Took some first time cruisers with us in April and they don't even want to try any other cruise line. They'll be going with us again next year. The food is awesome and the presentation unbelievable. The crew makes you feel so special and they are all very helpful and friendly. It's a classy ship but you can feel confortable in shorts or casual clothes too. Most do really dress for the formal nights. All our guys wore tuxes and we gals dressed to the nines. Found it to be a lot of fun. I can't think of one negative about the Century !!!
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Carnival vs Celebrity is like hamburger vs steak. Give Celebrity a try. Princess would be my (distant) second choice.
Re: Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Love the hamburger vs steak analogy!
We completely agree. We have sailed on both and much prefer Celebrity.
Give it a try!
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Reading this thread strikes me as a good reason to find a good travel agent who specializes in cruises.
With a posting such as this people are rather naturally going to give "their opinions" of their favorite cruise line.
But.... it seems to also serve as an example of the differences one might find between a travel agent, and a "good" travel agent.
- the first agent might recommend a cruise line or a ship that they themselves enjoyed, or have had good reports from returning clients.
And on the surface that might seem like they are doing a good job.
- However the really good agent would communicate with you to find out what your preferences are, and suggest a ship that most closely matches the criteria you set out, rather than steer you to their personal favorites.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
We've sailed the Celebrity Millenium last year (our first cruise), and loved it! Gorgeous ship, elegant, excellent food, and we even had a butler who was happy to accomodate any of your requests (e.g. my 7 year old son absolutely felt like having a strawberry ice cream after dinner, but there was none to be had..or so it seemed, until I called our butler and he showed up with one for each of us!)
Celebrity attracts 30s-70s crowd in general, I think. We went during the spring break, so there were quite a few kids on board, but it didn't detract from the "casual elegance" atmosphere. They have pretty good kids program--keeps them entertained.
We're an active family, and generally prefer to do lots of land activity; but despite that, we're sailing on Celebrity Century on July 31! The whole experience on the Millenium was so wonderful, that we're trying it out again. I'm 99% confident that we'll love this cruise too. Celebrity keeps its ships spotless at ALL TIMES! I'm not kidding. I don't think you'll have any issues with their cuisine--it was just fabulous! (and we live in San Francisco Bay Area, where we've sampled plenty of fine cuisines--just so that you know we don't live on McD burgers all the time and have some fine steaks periodically).
Try Celebrity--you won't be disappointed!
Re: Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Your sailing in August huh? Are you on the Eastern or Western Caribbean itenerary? I am sailing with my wife and some friends on the Eastern Sailing on the 21st. I agree with you, Celebrity is a great cruise line choice, have sailed twice on Century, and have the mercuy to mexico scheduled for Feb 2005.
If you want a 7 day party sail on Carnival, their name is synonomous with what they offer, a carnival.
Celebrity's name as well does it justice. You feel like a celebrity, with a sophistication and class usually associated with the celebrity genre.
Happy sailing
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Celebrity is far superior to Carnival with regards to food, service, quietness, etc and has an older crowd than Carnival. *** edited by moderator to remove commercial message***
Don't judge all cruises by Carnival standards.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
We have been on both lines. I got to say that we are the opposite, we like Carnival better. Maybe its our age, we just didnt find much that interested us and were bored alot. I dont think the food is bad on Carnival. Steaks are better on Celebrity I would say. I found we had better service on Carnival. Everyone has a differnt experience. Our head waitress on Carnival took the time to learn our names and would talk to us. They were very impersonal on Celebrity other than our bar steward. She was sweet and came by and chatted about how our day was anytime she seen us. Carnival is not for everyone, but I think they are a good line for the money. Good luck, you probally would like Celebrity.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I'm somewhat of a different voice. The original poster sailed aboard a Fantasy class Carnival ship. While I haven't sailed aboard any Carnival ships because of their style and decor, there are quite a few veteran cruisers familiar with Celebrity who report that the newer Carnival ship's cuisine meets or exceeds Celebrity's. Also, that Celebrity's cuisine is declining and steadily where Carnival is going the other direction. These days, I would say, do not expect great food on Celebrity. Expect standard banquet-quality "cruisine".
As far as the cruise. I don't know. At one time Celebrity was marketed to a somewhat discerning cruise passenger that expected to dress for dinner and desired it, didn't ask questions about smuggling liquor aboard, and the like. The ships were mostly fill of Celebrity cruisers. Now, the ships are marketed toward a general mass market passenger and Celebrity has become a value line. You are likely to find a lot of general cruisers onboard, they could be on Princess on one cruise, Carnival the next, RCI the next and Celebrity the next. Some don't even care what ship they are on. Just that they have a balcony and a large casino.
I don't know if any of the major lines truly offer a "better" overall product than the other anymore.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I have jumped ship only once on about 26 cruises.
I have enjoyed all the rest of them. I have been on
the Carnival- Carnivale, Holiday and Paradise
I have been on the Royal Cruise Lines (now defunct)
Crown Odyssey and Royal Odyssey ( old Royal Viking Sea)
I have sailed Fairsky, Stella Oceanus and Stella Solaris,
Sagafjord (Sana Rose) and Vistafjord (Caronia)
Celebrity- Horizon, Summit, Infinity (x2) Constellation and Millennium.
Left the SS Veracruz in Vera Cruz Mexico because the couple that I was
traveling with were unhappy with the food and accommodations. It was
cruise that was for a benefit.
Sailed the Sun Viking in the Orient also.
Still, I am happy to say that I have never encountered the problems that you
seemed to run into.
It must have been some mismanagement that you encountered, and hope
you will not let this turn you off on cruising.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Carnival is the bulk cruising experience that is what cruising should not be about, go Celebrity it is worth the money and you will have a great vacatation, its special.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
There is no need to bash other Cruise Lines.
My wife and I have sailed on Celebrity for our Honeymoon and Carnival the last 2 summers. We like both lines. Each one is different and trying to compare the two is like comparing apples and oranges. There is more Carnival bashing on this board then there is Celebrity bashing on the Carnival board. Some of you are truly snobs, and I don't mean it in the nice way. Just because Carnival doesn't give you the refined experience that Celebrity gives you, it doesn't mean that Celebrity is any better then any other line.
Sorry if this is harsh, but it's the way I feel.

Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Bottom line is that you get what you pay for. While I prefer Celebrity, I will use Carnival if I like the itierary. I have met wonderful people on both lines and have not encountered any on the problems that you described.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I think if you polled 100 people from every cruise you you get a very different opinion of the cruise from every one of them. I think there are people who are capable of having a great vacation no matter what and there are people who will never be happy no matter what. So its my opinion that the blame for a bad vacation lies squarely with the individual. Even when problems do arise, and they will, one should not "throw the baby out with the bath water"
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I have held off asking to be polite but why did you select that webname?
Re: Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
My mother "God rest her soul" used to call me that as I was growing up. It was her little pet name for me.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Celebrity if far better than Carnival. We actaully won a 4 day cruise on the Elation. It has the cruise from hell! When you are used to having class, try the ships I suggest. DO NOT give up on cruising, just don't go on Carnival again. We have done 7 cruises and our fav is HAL, Celebrity and RRCL.
Bon Voyage!
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I've been on Celebrity, Carnival and HAL. I think you are more likely to run into first time cruisers on Carnival - I don't know why TA's seem to push the inexperienced cruiser toward Carnival - at least that's what happened to us. If you take age and expectations into consideration, you should be able to find the right cruise for yourself. We loved the Celebrity experience - excellent service, food and accomodations - and have met wonderful people on Celebrity - some younger than us (50's). I don't think you're likely to see any brawls on HAL - we found a mostly senior group of very genteel, experienced travelers who were delightful to converse with. I may cruise again on Carnival, although I don't care for the constant announcements on their PA system. I say, try all the cruise lines! Happy cruising!
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
After somewhere around 100 cruises, I will state once again, that the very best, and the very worst cruises we have ever had have both been on CARNIVAL. The worst one was so bad that we got 100% refund, and an apology from a VP. In any case, we sail all the lines, but prefer CELEBRITY, or PRINCESS, but will book CARNIVAL again, in a heartbeat, if the price is right. Try all the lines, and make up your own mind about what you do, and don't like, and whether the price of the "premium" lines is worth the difference, or whether you'd rather take that money, and do another cruise instead!
Happy sailing,
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I have ask my travel agent, who specializes in cruises only, to never never every booked me on a Carnival cruise again. We had sailed other line before and certainly others after and I understand your reason. Our mistake as well, it was spring break and a brawl would have been an improvement. One cabin of four young men got so drunk and stick we didn't see them the rest of the cruise. The ship had propulsion failure. We were standing on the balcony and dodge a cocktail glass dropped from above. We were told NO more times than we can remember by staff and room steward and also where to get our own ice for the cabin. Please give Celebrity or Princess or NCL a try, you deserve a second chance to enjoy true cruising.
Re: Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
Interesting that everyone has the attitude about Carnival. We went on two family friendly winter break cruises with no evidence of too much drinking, rowdiness, wild parties. We had a great time on both cruises regardless of the neon.
Yet last January we were on the Golden Princess and our neighbours next door (20 somethings) decided to host a party in their cabin and on their balcony. At 3am someone from another cabin asked them to keep it down, they apologized and immediately pumped up the volume of their CD's. I recall one particularly annoying and very grating laugh from one of their guests. We called the front desk and within minutes there was banging at their door to shut the party down. This one incident would of course not stop me from cruising Princess again.
Our next cruise is Celebrity and will be interesting to see if any difference. I am pretty sure you need to try a few lines to see which one works best for you. That's at least what we plan on doing.
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
I have not found one Carnival Vessel that is acceptable. Once you sail Royal Carribbean Cruise Lines(RCCL) you'll NEVER go back to Carnival!
Re: Is Celebity better than Carnival?
A punching brawl in the Karaoke lounge? Now, that is someone who gets real upset over the lack of talent. That's just part of the Entertainment (). When we were on MIllenium, some older folks came close to having a fist fight over 'saved' seats. I thought it would be funny to see them rolling around on the floor.
After 2 Celebrity cruises, a Royal Caribbean cruise, and a Carnival cruise, my judgement is... I love them ALL

Két remek idézet az Apple iPad mellé
The thing that bothers me most about the iPad is this: if I had an iPad rather than a real computer as a kid, I'd never be a programmer today. I'd never have had the ability to run whatever stupid, potentially harmful, hugely educational programs I could download or write. I wouldn't have been able to fire up ResEdit and edit out the Mac startup sound so I could tinker on the computer at all hours without waking my parents.
You could turn on the computer and press Ctrl-Reset and you'd get a prompt. And at this prompt, you could type in an entire program, and then type RUN, and it would motherfucking run.
I was 10. That was 27 years ago, but I still remember what it felt like when I realized that you — that I — could get this computer to do anything by typing the right words in the right order and telling it to RUN and it would motherfucking run.
That computer was an Apple ][e.
By age 12, I was writing BASIC programs so complex that the computer was running out of memory to hold them. By age 13, I was writing programs in Pascal. By age 14, I was writing programs in assembly language. By age 17, I was competing in the Programming event in the National Science Olympiad (and winning). By age 22, I was employed as a computer programmer.
Once upon a time, Apple made the machines that made me who I am. I became who I am by tinkering. Now it seems they're doing everything in their power to stop my kids from finding that sense of wonder. Apple has declared war on the tinkerers of the world. With every software update, the previous generation of "jailbreaks" stop working, and people have to find new ways to break into their own computers. There won't ever be a MacsBug for the iPad. There won't be a ResEdit, or a Copy ][+ sector editor, or an iPad Peeks & Pokes Chart. And that's a real loss. Maybe not to you, but to somebody who doesn't even know it yet.

Maple Oatmeal Bread is sweetened with maple syrup (obviously!) with no other added sugar. It has a secret ingredient of coffee which is an interesting twist. Great for sandwiches or for toast and jam.
This month the #BreadBakers are baking with natural sweeteners so you won't find granulated sugar in the ingredient lists for any of our breads shared below. What you will find are alternatives like honey, maple syrup, fruit purees and other creative ways to add a touch of sweetness. I baked with maple syrup in this recipe for Maple Oatmeal Bread. Not only was the maple syrup a highlight but also was the secret ingredient of coffee (no sugar added!). I was curious so I gave this bread a try and thoroughly enjoyed it. You'll want to eat this bread lightly toasted with a touch of butter or you'll find it is an excellent sandwich bread which slices well and balances nicely with a filling of turkey and cheese.
If you want more bread recipes, try Chocolate Swirl Bread, peach oat quick bread, and pumpkin bread with cream cheese.
Maple Oatmeal Bread
What an easy recipe for homemade bread! Maple Oatmeal Bread is sweetened with maple syrup (obviously!) with no other added sugar. It has a secret ingredient of coffee which is an interesting twist.
- 5 3/4-6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups prepared coffee
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs
- In a very large mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the flour and the yeast. In a medium saucepan heat the coffee, rolled oats, maple syrup, butter, and salt just until warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F) and butter is almost melted. Add to flour mixture along with eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans or line bottoms with parchment paper; set aside.
- Shape dough into 2 loaves by patting or rolling. To shape by patting, gently pat and pinch, tucking edges underneath. To shape by rolling, on a lightly floured surface roll each dough half into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Roll up each rectangle, starting from a short side. Seal seams with your fingertips. Place shaped dough in prepared pans. Cover; let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 45 minutes). Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake about 30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped (if necessary, cover loosely with foil the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning). Immediately remove bread from pan. Cool on wire rack. Remove parchment, if using. Makes 2 loaves (28 servings).

Frequent Links
Jordsand was a small Danish hallig located in the Wadden Sea southeast of the Danish island Rømø and east of the German island Sylt. The island was first known by the name Hiortsand ('deer island') and was possibly connected to both the mainland and the island of Sylt. The old name refers to the presence of deer on the island.
Records from 1231 describe the island as having a size equivalent of 20 km² (7.7 square miles). It contained numerous terps. The island was destroyed in a series of storm tides. Its size was described in 1807 and 1873 as 40.7 and 18.4 hectares respectively. In 1895, a storm destroyed the last terp and the island was abandoned and became a bird sancturary. Attempts to protect it from the recurring floods were made in the 1970s but with limited success since the island remained unprotected by a dike. The island's size ultimately shrunk to 2.3 hectares and the uninhabited island was finally destroyed in a flood during the winter of 1999/2000.
Its name lives on in the name of one of Germany's oldest environmental organizations, Verein Jordsand established in 1907.

text: I've been attending and then working at MUN for approximately 11 years now, and over this time span I have become interested in many things. My latest interest is the Corel product R.A.V.E. The letters in this acronym stand for Real Animated Vector Effects, and is a very useful piece of software for making animations. The interface is very similar to Corel Draw, which I am very familiar with and use for any drawings/figures required for the Science 1150/1151 lab manuals. I am just at the tutorial stage of this piece of software, but it appears very powerful. In a 10 minute tutorial I have made a logo of the planet earth with words rotating around it. These files can be exported as .swf files and are commonly found as flash animations on websites. Check out my website at http://sheldonhuelin.googlepages.com in the near future for some of these animations. Cheers to everyone out there!!!

Gaga is more flamboyant, sexualised, and pulsating than ever, but whether you would actually want to listen to the 15 tracks that make up Artpop all in one go is debatable.
The mass of ideas, and density of throbbing layers can, initially, make it hard to hear either the pop hits, or the more innovative aspects of individual songs on her fourth album, but consuming it in more bite-sized pieces eventually allows some of them to filter through.
She's certainly turned up the 80s knob, without making any overt references - the synth selections and bass lines put you right back in a leotard-tastic aerobics video, though this one has raunchier moves. Gaga's also embraced the stadium-sized guitar riff and rather convincingly mixed some heavy rock cliches with her technicolour brand of dance music.
Though the album opens promisingly with Aura, all mariachi and Middle Eastern guitar motifs and toe-tapping, which wind you into a heady, warped world of cosmic lovers and burqas, Venus is a slightly grating mash-up of space and Greek gods, and it's hard to tell whether the gender-bending lyrics of G.U.Y (Girl Under You) are interesting or just confused.
On the other hand, despite its almost parody-esque lyrical content, Sexxx Dreams has a certain pop appeal with thick synth chords and overly funked-up bass. The weird hip hop-grime hybrid Jewels N' Drugs feels gimmicky though, even for Gaga.
In terms of potential hits, aside from solid first single Applause (which, unusually, arrives at the end of the album), MANiCURE feels likely to be the next party anthem with the aforementioned rock slant. It's actually a pleasure to hear her occasionally belting out the vocals with some guts. Do What U Want has a similarly earcatching quality, with its 80s R and B croon, and lays out a lyrical message that's ripe for dissection.
The repeated refrain "do what you want with my body", is offset by the context of her defiance at the world of celebrity, voyeurism, and gossip: "write what you want, say what you want about me ... you can't have my heart, and you won't use my mind ... you can't stop my voice 'cos you don't own my life". Gypsy, which appears second-to-last, also seems like a strong candidate for fan favourite, with its rousing chorus, "I don't wanna be alone forever, but I can be tonight" and its celebration of worldwide friends.
So she's still ruminating on the ups and downs of fame, self-confidence, self-perception, sex, fashion and even love, but whether she's melding the worlds of art and pop is hard to say - it really depends on your definitions and, musically speaking, the dance floor-fuelled beats rarely move beyond standard expectations.
As she says on the title track, "my artpop could mean anything", and there are so many layers of pop culture reference and social commentary to analyse on tracks like Donatella, Fashion!, and Mary Jane Holland, it's hard to know whether she's being too clever for her own good.
But despite the frequent difficulty in initially hearing anything beyond an explosion of pop fragments, there's plenty here for fans to sink their teeth into.
Stars: 3.5/5
Verdict: Explosion of ideas can make it hard to hear the art or pop.

When I privately battled the idea to post about depression I never anticipated, nor could I have ever understood, the amount of support I'd receive. There's been a troll here and there but for the most part I have cried and laughed at the overwhelming number of emails and private messages (via Facebook). There have also been a handful of times when I've been stopped in public and introduced to someone struggling with depression - and those moments are precious to me. Please, never hesitate to call or email me. I am here. I will always be here.
My dear friends and family (like there's a difference between those categories!), thank you!

Block printing specialists - online craft supplies, workshops & textile holidays
March – Jaipur Month
Jaipur – The Pink City
For the month of March, we are mixing up our newsletter content to give you information on one of the wonderful cities that we travel to on a Colouricious holiday. Jaipur was the first location we ever visited on a Colouricious tour so it made sense for us to start at the very beginning with this beautiful city.
Over the next month, we are going to look at:
- The History of Block Printing in Jaipur
- Textile Printing Techniques of Jaipur
- How the Wooden Printing Blocks are made
- What to do in Jaipur
But first off, a little bit of history and information about the city itself.
History of Jaipur
Jaipur city is located on the eastern border of the Thar Desert. It is popularly known as "Pink City" and is one of the best architecturally designed cities of India. The city is located at a height of 1417 feet above sea level. Jaipur is surrounded by the Aravali hills from three sides which safeguard it from the desert. In the North, Jaipur shares its borders with Sikar and Mahendragarh districts. In the south, it is surrounded by Tonk district, in the east by Alwar, Dausa and Sawai Madhopur districts and in the west by Nagaur and Ajmer districts.
From east to west, Jaipur district is spread over 180 km while the length from north to south is about 110 km. Banganga and Sabi Rivers are the main sources of water for the district.
Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan which was founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II on November 18, 1727. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II was a Kachwaha Rajput who ruled Jaipur from 1699-1743. Prior to Jaipur, his capital was Amber which is 11 km away from Jaipur. With the increase of population, the King felt the need to shift the capital city. Another reason to shift the capital was the scarcity of water in Amber region.
The King was concerned about the security of the city and hence, he utilised his scientific and cultural interests to build it. He employed Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, a Brahmin scholar in Mathematics and Science from Bengal to help design the city's architecture. Vidyadhar referred to ancient Indian literature on astronomy, books of Ptolemy and Euclid in order to help the King.
The construction of the city started in 1727 and it took around 4 years for the completion of the major palaces and roads. Principles of Vastu Shastra were greatly followed while designing the city.
Jaipur city is counted among pre-modern cities of the country because of the evenness of its streets. The streets are divided into six sectors each separated by around 34 m (111 feet) wide roads. These sectors are termed as urban quarters which are further divided by interconnecting streets.
The city was divided into nine blocks, two of which allocated for state buildings and palaces. The remaining seven blocks were allotted to the general public to live in. From the security point of view, huge walls were constructed around the city along with seven strong gates. It is believed that the architecture of the city was the best of its time in the Indian subcontinent.
Visit of the Prince of Wales

In 1876, the Prince of Wales visited Jaipur city. To celebrate the visit and to welcome the Prince, the whole city was painted in pink which is how the city got its beautiful nickname, "Pink City". Continuing the trend and keeping the charm of the historic era, all the state buildings and historical places of Jaipur city are painted in a similar pink colour.
Jaipur Today
The city of Jaipur serves as a vast business centre with all the modern facilities available. The historical places situated in the city attract tourists from different parts of the country and abroad. These places include Nahargarh Fort, Amer Fort, Jaigarh Fort and Moti Doongri.
Block printing is one of the major arts practiced in the Jaipur district. A small village, Bagru, 35 km from Jaipur in the southwest is famous for block printing. The people of this region belong to Chippa community and have practised this art for more than 350 years. Using their native methods of dyeing and printing, block printing is done using colours like Alizarin, bright yellow and indigo blue on cotton fabric.
On Monday we will carry on and explore the History of Block Printing in Jaipur. Block Printing is obviously close to my heart and I look forward to sharing the history with you.
If the description of the Pink City has tempted you to join us on one of our trips, then head over to our website where you can read about all of the holidays we are running for 2017 and 2018.
Learn, Create, Be Happy!
kind regards

Linda Peterson
Administrative Leadership
Manager of Case Management
Hennepin County Medical Center
"Case Management" is a complicated set of words. Patients who need it have complex and chronic conditions—and they are those most likely to be re-admitted to hospitals. The high price of re-admission must be balanced with excellent care.
Enter Peterson, who manages 39 clinical coordinators. It's a highly collaborative kind of nursing that intersects health care systems, multidisciplinary teams, social workers, families, and a patient's own self-care. "We're that navigator," Peterson says. For case management nurses, "Our verbs change from 'doing' verbs to teaching and advocacy verbs." How do you get to your therapy appointment? Who can help you get there? What will the therapy achieve?
You might say this is nursing in its most basic form. "Nurses are educated to look at the person as a whole. A social aspect is part of it, your family is part of it, the community you live in is a part of it. And we know that patients that are invested in their health and their plans of care are able to succeed better.
"We are helping to keep it real."

Meet Adam Aronson. He left a successful 10-year trading career to become an entrepreneur. No, he's not crazy.
"I wanted an operating career," says the founder and CEO of Arrowsight Inc. So in 1998 Aronson launched 'Parent Watch' — a web-based video service allowing parents to logon and monitor their kids at day care.
Parent Watch had raised $30 million from investors. All was going according to plan — until it didn't.
"In 2000 I got a phone call from a friend at an investment bank. He was seeing that venture capitalists weren't getting any funding. It was a pretty ominous phone call. I thought, that's it. The party's about to be over," recalls Aronson.
Indeed, the bursting of the dotcom bubble in 2000 took down many internet companies, including Parent Watch. Its Manhattan office went from 120 employees to 20 and investor capital shrunk from $30 million to $10 million.
But, as they say, the lowest ebb is where the tide turns.

Please check the Parent/Student Manual or the Site Shortcuts tab for more information.

[slideshow id=2]For millennia people have struggled to craft the human form in materials from clay to silicone. But while there have been some popular hits such as Michelangelo's David, nothing in the world's museums shows the subtlety to be seen in the living body. In our scientifically advanced society, the optimal way to create a portrait is to clone the human subject.
Conventional genetic cloning is technically problematic, but only because cloners apply antiquated genetic concepts. Recently biologists have learned that the genes you inherit don't determine who you become. What matters is which genes are expressed, and gene expression depends on your environment. Epigenetics takes into account environmental factors from diet to pollutants. By evaluating these factors and replicating them, I'm pioneering the field of epigenetic human cloning.

Tips for Buying a Good Vending Machine
With the general addition in masses in various urban regions on account of people from rural zones searching for work openings, the need to give people basic items like food has ended up being to a great degree challenging and has led to the production of vending machines which are machines that contain snacks and other sensitive products which are provided once cash is inserted. The usage of vending machines has ended up being to a great degree acclaimed especially in many urban centers which are astoundingly populated as it an uncommonly lucrative and clear business to start which does not require a lot of financing to kick it off, especially since it doesn't require a huge amount of work force, along these lines profit made does not should be shared among numerous people.
If you are considering starting a vending machine business, it is vital that you do a careful assessment before you join the venture for you to weigh your chances of success in that line of business and you therefore have to take into account some important factors that will guide you in understanding all the fundamental knowledge that is required. One of the basic components to consider before you start a vending business is unequivocally scrutinizing the many vending reviews that can without a lot of an extend be found on the web which will enable you see each one of the dynamics that relate to the vending machine business.
Many of these vending reviews have shown that starting a vending machine business can be very lucrative especially if you have a good number of these machines and you position them strategically where many people pass by for example around hospitals and airports. These vending machines are in addition easy to supervise and don't require a significant measure of work force since you simply require one individual to stack them with the stock you have to offer in the morning and assemble the money made toward the night and another who can service the vending machines on week by week basis.
These vending reviews have moreover demonstrated that you have to buy your vending machine from the first producer for you to get the vending machine at a moderate cost and furthermore effortlessly get the extra parts for it in the event that a few sections break down which isn't the situation if you buy from wholesalers who offer these machines at high costs and cannot give save parts when required. These vending reviews have likewise demonstrated that it is critical to experience some essential training before you join such a business for you to acclimate yourself with the market on issues such as, what sort of stock to offer and where to get your provisions from at reasonable costs.
5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Machines

(Quote: Sheehan/O`Sullivan: The Iveragh Peninsula- An Archeological Survey of South Kerry)
Beginish Island shows a very diverse selection of different rock formations. You have stone surfaces that have been softened by the sea, very interesting shapes, a great variety of colours and textures and little ponds filled with water in contrast to the dry stone. I go to Beginish Island sometimes as part of my workshops schedule. There are four huts dating back to Early Medieval Period and on a later stage the existance of a Hiberno-Viking settlement. You can still see field walls and animal shelters.
Please do not leave anything on the island and take only photos and memories home.

WITH the face and demeanour of a man who might try to flog you a cut-price shed from the back of a scruffy white van, the self-regarding Robbie Williams has little going for him.
Despite his faux geezer persona, he's a pleasant enough voice, it's true. Though his attempts to croon Sinatra numbers reveal its many and various shortcomings.
Little going for him, that is, apart from a formidable nose for publicity (unlike his actual nose, obviously, which is pug-like).
And, of course, the gullibility of countless women of a certain age who are hoodwinked by the hype surrounding Take That and who harbour the mistaken belief that they can relive excitements that many of them might never have experienced in the first place.
It's excusable for gauche teenagers to get over-excited by such a very average band. But it's mind-boggling that such adoration should be displayed by women for whom the first flushes of youth are about as recent as the last time they managed to walk past a cake shop without nipping in for a 1,000-calorie fix of sugar. Truth is, the wave of excitement surrounding Take That is manufactured and contrived. Not only by the well-oiled publicity machine that surrounds the band, but also by the fans.
Thank goodness Brum has seen the back of Take That.

AHEAD of a long and late Sunday shift at work, I decided to snooze in the warmth in my back garden.
Until the cacophony of bells from a nearby church broke my reveries.
Another argument against the existence of god: no caring deity would subject his (or her) children to undeserved and indiscriminate Sunday morning tinnitus.

ON A platform at Preston station, a drunken Scotsman (is that tautologous?) was showing photographs of a west coast beach to the unlucky woman on whom he'd swooped.
"Who'd want to go anywhere else?" he slurred in that sentimental way such people have when in their cups.
How tempting it was to inquire why, then, so many bibulous Scots find their way south of the border to intrude on the privacy of strangers.
It's a McMystery.

Photo of the month | April | Editors' Choice
For making this photograph I used a camera Canon EOS 450D with a camera lens Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS. Camera characteristics: ISO 100, aperture — f/10, shutter speed — 1/125 secs, focal length — 36mm. The shooting took place in a studio with a black paper background. Studio equipment was two monolights Rekam Master 600. As the key lighting I used a beauty dish 56cm, which was directed with an angle on a model. The second monolight stood behind my back with an octabank 120cm and provided fill lighting. The model made a low hair bun, then I threw translucent fabric on her and made a shot. The photograph processing was in Adobe Photoshop CC. The basic tool I used was Dodge and Burn. With its help I retouched and redrew the lighting at some places of the photo.Author: Alexey Frolov

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of International Trade was not very clear in his response to the Bloc Québécois' questions on Canada's softwood lumber strategy. He said there was no question of negotiating what had already been determined in the NAFTA tribunal ruling, but he also said that a long term and durable agreement had to be negotiated.
Can the Prime Minister confirm to us that the long term agreement he referred to merely means a total return to free trade for softwood lumber?

Tami Bennett is our new Child Care Director. Welcome, Mrs. Bennett!
I'm excited for this opportunity to speak into the kids' lives on a daily basis about Jesus' love and the big picture of the Gospel in our world, from history to the present. I graduated from college in 1994 with an elementary education degree and, in 2015, earned a certified nursing assistant degree. Over the past 25 years, I have worked with children in various capacities. I've served in my church in the infant and toddler nurseries, as a Sunday school teacher for 4-year olds, and as the AWANA Cubbies secretary. I've worked as a teacher, a substitute teacher, and an assistant librarian in a school. Most recently, I've been working at Greenville Children's Hospital as the USII Unit Cordinator, Certified Nursing Assistant, and Patient Care Technician in the Pediatric Surgery and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology units.
My husband, Jim, and I parent four of our own kids: Tori (20), Jamie (18), Haley (16), and Anthony (12). Tori attends USC-Columbia and will be graduating this school year with degrees in International Studies and Spanish; she works as an RM and an international programs liaison. Jamie will be a Freshman this year at Greenville Tech, working toward earning a surgical technician degree; she nannies for a local family in her free time. Haley is a Junior in high school and works at Port City Java downtown on evenings and weekends. Anthony is in 7th grade this year and enjoys playing seasonal team sports. Jim works at Clemson University as the Director of International Programs and Global Education Initiatives. As a family, we enjoy staying active together. We love to go the local YMCA or enjoy the outdoors at various parks and events in the area. We have a passion for connecting in our community through various volunteer opportunities and looking for opportunities to show Christ's love and share the joy of a relationship with Him.
In my spare time, I enjoy going out to coffee or restaurants with friends/family. I also appreciate relaxing with a good puzzle–puzzles of all sorts are great! I also love cutting hair for friends/family when time allows.
I look forward to getting to know my new family at Hampton Park and am excited to see what this year will hold!

Read all about the knights of the Empire in the Knightly Orders Guide.
If you're still reading (who does that?)... Does anyone have a good recipe for super brilliant armor? My next unit of knights will be Reiksguard, and I want their plating to look well polished and regal. I'm thinking a white undercoat, then spray metallic, followed by a very light wash, and highlighted back up?Thanks for looking!Brian

He was Kuro Obi dojo's first black belt graduate and helps with teaching in class when it gets too big or the grade distribution is too wide. He received his second Dan in March 2013.

Creator: Hansen, Gary D. (Gary Duane) and Prescott, Edward C. Series: Staff report (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department) Number: 257 Abstract:
A unified growth theory is developed that accounts for the roughly constant living standards displayed by world economies prior to 1800 as well as the growing living standards exhibited by modern industrial economies. Our theory also explains the industrial revolution, which is the transition from an era when per capita incomes are stagnant to one with sustained growth. We use a standard growth model with one good and two available technologies. The first, denoted the Malthus technology, requires land, labor, and reproducible capital as inputs. The second, denoted the Solow technology, does not require land. We show that in the early stages of development, only the Malthus technology is used, and, due to population growth, living standards are stagnant despite technological progress. Eventually, technological progress causes the Solow technology to become profitable, and both technologies are employed. In the limit, the economy behaves like a standard Solow growth model.

Creator: Parente, Stephen L. and Prescott, Edward C. Series: Staff report (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department) Number: 236 Abstract:
Our thesis is that poor countries are poor because they employ arrangements for which the equilibrium outcomes are characterized by inferior technologies being used, and being used inefficiently. In this paper, we analyze the consequences of one such arrangement. In each industry, the arrangement enables a coalition of factor suppliers to be the monopoly seller of its input services to all firms using a particular production process. We find that the inefficiencies associated with this monopoly arrangement can be large. Whereas other studies have found that inefficiencies induced by monopoly are at most a few percent of output, we find that eliminating this monopoly arrangement could well increase output by roughly a factor of 3 without any increase in inputs.

Creator: Parente, Stephen L. and Prescott, Edward C. Series: Economic growth and development Abstract:
Technology change is modeled as the result of decisions of individuals and groups of individuals to adopt more advanced technologies. The structure is calibrated to the U.S. and postwar Japan growth experiences. Using this calibrated structure we explore how large the disparity in the effective tax rates on the returns to adopting technologies must be to account for the huge observed disparity in per capita income across countries. We find that this disparity is not implausibly large.

Esquire's fashion editor Nick Sullivan proves he not only has a keen eye for fashion, but his photo series 'Changing Cities' shows his untapped talent for making time-traveling collages. On his Instagram account, Sullivan has posted numerous pictures of celebrities in iconic cities> The older photographs are matched up with the precise location in present day. In Changing Cities, Sullivan uses famous black and white pictures which he superimposes over a colored contemporary shot of the same location.
In Changing Cities, the juxtaposition between the historic photographs and the present day are made more clear by contrasting black and white versus colored imagery. Some of the notable pictures collaged by Sullivan include Bob Dylan walking down a tree-lined Central Park and the Rolling Stones taking a stroll down Covent Garden in London.
