Great vacation - first time on a cruise
Sail Date: November 08, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
The standout was the ship and the people who ran it.. best service I have experienced in my life...
Boozing was extensive.. there was an incentive to buy the boozing plans and drink yourself silly.. how about just price booze reasonably..
Internet was a pleasant surprise.. price much better than expected.. performance average.
Food.. berries missing in the mix.. was searching for berries..otherwise pretty good choices.. try not to overcook the lobster or salmon.

Neuromedin B receptor binds neuromedin B, a potent mitogen and growth factor for normal and neoplastic lung and for gastrointestinal epithelial tissue. Additionally we are shipping NMBR Antibodies (59) and and many more products for this protein.
In sow estrous cycle, the hypothalamic levels of both NMB and NMBR mRAN were similar, but the expression levels of the pituitary were negatively correlated.
The rs2717 and rs6926279 within the NMBR gene were associated with schizophrenia liability.
Hypoxia regulates the expression of the neuromedin B receptor through a mechanism dependent on hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha.
NMB and its receptor are coexpressed by proliferating cells in which they act in an autocrine fashion with similar and modest potency in both normal and malignant colonic epithelial cells.
mice with deletion of NB receptor have lower insulinemia, especially in response to oral glucose, and females also exhibited a better glucose tolerance, suggesting the involvement of neuromedin b and its receptor in regulation of insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) secretion induced by incretins, and also, in insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) sensitivity.
ablating NMB receptor-expressing neurons eliminated basal and hypoxia-induced sighing, but left breathing otherwise intact initially
The neuromedin B pathways are importantly involved in secretory pathways of TSH and revealed its participation in the in vivo regulation of gene expression of TSH beta (show TSHB ELISA Kits)-subunit (show POLG ELISA Kits) and pituitary MCT8 (show MCT8 ELISA Kits) and Thrb (show THRB ELISA Kits) and hypothalamic TRH (show TRH ELISA Kits) and type 2 deiodinase (show DIO2 ELISA Kits).
Together, we define the respective function of NMBR and GRPR (show GRPR ELISA Kits) in itch transmission, and reveal an unexpected relationship not only between the two receptors but also between the two populations of interneurons in itch signaling.
spinal GRPr (show GRPR ELISA Kits) and NMBr independently drive itch neurotransmission in mice.
Results implicate that NMB is involved in cartilage development, either in an autocrine or paracrine manner.
The data demonstrated that the neuromedin B-neuromedian B receptor interaction in pregnant myometrial primary cells in vitro predominantly influenced uterine activity through regulation of Il6 (show IL6 ELISA Kits) expression via the Rela/p65 (show NFkBP65 ELISA Kits) pathway.
These data demonstrate that neuromedin B and its receptor can induce the onset of labor via a RELA (show NFkBP65 ELISA Kits)/IL6 (show IL6 ELISA Kits)-mediated pathway.
The mRNA and protein expressions of NMBR reach a peak at the onset of labor.
disruption of the neuromedin B receptor pathway did not change body weight homeostasis in female mice fed a normolipid diet

Images gone from Media library, but still there & other odd stuff
This is the oddest WordPress issue.
When my client goes into Media Library it shows a bunch of blank thumb nails, but if you go to the image URL, the image is there. (and I can see them when I ftp)
BUT, and this is an odd but, all the images are gone from Featured Images and if I upload an image it gives the link of the post and there is no extension (.jpg .png)
These are 2 links after I uploaded 2 images:
How on earth do I correct that?
It was fine in the morning, but that evening it just happened.
She doesn't remember adding anything except for some javascript, which has been deleted:

I went into Settings > Media the box is empty and to organize with date month is checked.
Any idea how to fix this?

UPDATE 1-Loblaw executive chairman Weston takes on president's role
(Adds details, background, forecast, analyst comment, shares)
By Shubhankar Chakravorty
July 17 (Reuters) - Loblaw Cos Ltd, Canada's largest grocer, appointed Executive Chairman Galen Weston president as part of a management shakeup aimed at helping the company better compete with U.S. rivals.
Weston, son of the founder of George Weston Ltd - Loblaw's largest shareholder - will be responsible for the company's overall business performance as president, the company said.
Weston replaces Vicente Trius with immediate effect. Trius is leaving the company for family reasons.
Loblaw has been struggling with higher fuel costs, a weak Canadian dollar and an increase in minimum wages in Ontario, while trying to fend off competition from Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Target Corp.
The company, which completed the acquisition of Shoppers Drug Mart earlier this year, also said Domenic Pilla, the president of its pharmacy chain, would leave by the end of the year.
Mike Motz, Loblaw's current chief merchandising officer and executive vice president, will replace Pilla.
"Our two businesses (Loblaw, Shoppers Drug Mart) are working well together and we are on track to deliver the first $100 million in synergies by the end of the first quarter of 2015," Weston said in a statement. Continued...

The flowerpot is no more. The north London pub, famous as a venue where you could see bands tipped as "the next big thing" – and A&R men hoping to sign them – has been forced to shut after its building lease was sold.
It is the third major music venue in London to face a fight for survival this year due to a combination of recession, rent rises and heavy regulation.
The Flowerpot's organisers have vowed to start up again – but not at the usual Kentish Town venue, where musicians from the UK and abroad played some of their earliest gigs.
In September 2009, the Drums, an indie pop group from Brooklyn, who featured on BBC's "Sound of 2010" list of new music, played one of their first gigs at the venue. While, Mona, an anthemic rock band from Nashville – who recently signed a huge deal with Island Records – played their first ever UK show at the pub. The venue also became known for more established acts, such as Florence and the Machine, playing low-key sets.
The pub was celebrated for its informal venue, friendly staff, and a low but sizable stage alongside the bar where there was a performance almost every evening. The closing night on Sunday was celebrated with music, cheap drinks and fancy dress. An announcement on The Flowerpot website said: "We're completed gutted to inform you that from 1 November The Flowerpot will no longer be at this venue."
Meanwhile, a campaign to save London's oldest live music venue is being launched tonight. The 100 Club in Oxford Street marked its 68th anniversary last month. The first performance was held there on the same weekend that Montgomery led the Eighth Army into action against Rommel's Afrika Korps, in the second battle of El Alamein.
The rent for the cellar club has risen sixteen fold, from £11,000 to £166,000, in the 25 years that its current owner, Jeff Horton, has been in charge. He took over in 1985 from his father, who started running the club in 1964. Bands who have performed there include the Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Oasis and many more. "When it comes to rock and roll, The 100 Club is the best room in London. No contest. No other venue comes close," Alan McGee, founder of Creation Records said.
The Half Moon in Putney, which has been a music venue since 1963, was scheduled to close in January, but after a "Save the Half Moon" campaign attracted 6,500 supporters, the brewery, Young's, granted the tenants a reprieve and a package to help them through the recession.
The crisis in live music, which employed 44,000 people before the recession bit in 2008, was given official recognition in May when David Cameron and Nick Clegg drew up their coalition agreement, which promised: "We will cut red tape to encourage the performance of more live music."
The former London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, said: "Places that have provided pleasure to generations of Londoners should not be closed unnecessarily. Many great bands have emerged from London's live music scene and many London gigs have changed the course of music history."
John Smith, head of the Musicians' Union, said: "Live music is not only an integral part of London's thriving nightlife – it is also very profitable for pubs and venues."
Flowerpot bloomers
* The Drums, the New York band behind the catchy summer single Let's Go Surfing, played one of their first UK gigs at The Flowerpot in September 2009.
* Folk group Mumford & Sons played there in May 2009, several months before their Mercury Prize nominated debut album Sigh No More was released.
* Mona, a hotly-tipped rock quartet from Nashville, played their first UK gig there in September.
* I Blame Coco, fronted by Sting's daughter Coco Sumner, played a "secret gig" there in June this year. Their debut will be released by Island in November.
* The Vaccines, a hyped new London four-piece, played their first hometown gig at the venue in September.

Reissue with the latest remastering and the original cover artwork. Comes with a description written in Japanese. A great little date from pianist Monty Alexander – a set that's maybe got a bit more bite than some of Monty's American records from the time – even though this overseas release was still recorded in Florida! The core trio also features added percussion – which provides a stronger rhythmic impulse than usual, and which has the group really stretching out on some longer tunes – especially the album's version of "Since My Baby Left Me", which features guest cornet from Nat Adderley! The group on the rest of the record features Alexander on piano, Reggie Johnson on bass, Ed Thigpen on drums, and Robert Thomas Jr. on percussion.
Reissue with the latest remastering and the original cover artwork. Comes with a description written in Japanese. Nat Adderley's not actually busking in the subway – but instead playing a smoking little set at the Subway Nightclub in Cologne – working with an excellent group that includes Vincent Herring on alto sax, and some excellent rhythm work from the trio of Rob Bargad on piano, Walter Booker on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums! The tunes are all nice and long, and have a stretching, soulful feel that's really great – and which gets past the "classic" soul jazz cliches that can sometimes mar other Adderley albums from later years. Nat's in fine fine form, and Herring seems to help him unwind in a hip groove that's really carried off well – and the album's got a richness that easily makes it one of the best later sessions from Nat you can find! Titles include "The Chant", "Almost Always", "The Big J", "Plum Street", and "The Scene".

Cultural Competency Vs. Cultural Humility
The first approach is to say nothing. It's hard to offend if you don't open your mouth. There are any number of proverbs about "the fool" defending this position. It's wise. However, it's not really sustainable in the long run. The conversation around gender and sexuality has become one of the the defining issues facing the church today. As I wrote last week, moderate voices are needed.
The second approach is to equip oneself with the right vocabulary and the right set of expectations. It's hard to offend if you don't say anything offensive. Or at least in theory. In practice, these conversations can be very difficult to navigate, as we'll see. But this approach is known as cultural competency.
There's a third approach, of course. It's cultural humility. [Read more…]

Chandigarh, Apr 11 (UNI) Launching an action plan for combining moral values and civic duties in the education curriculum, the Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Gen (Retd) SF Rodrigues today called upon principals and heads of education institutions of the Union Territory to join in this major effort.
The action plan envisages a multi-prolonged approach, to sensitise the teaching community and transmit the message to the students through various learning processes, focusing on the core values of being an effective member of the community. The programme will focus on teaching through story telling, screening of movies, visits students to various institutions like old age homes, hospitals, slum areas, orphanage, homes for destitute and mentally retarded and learning about our heritage and culture.
Describing this endeavour as a novel programme of great relevance, General Rodrigues said that "it has three major elements relating to basic human values, with the focus on a personal value system, the inculcation of a sense of responsibility towards society and our duty to the state and the nation." He impressed upon the principals the need to restructure the teaching processes and make them more purposeful.
General Rodrigues suggested them to analyze the various aspects of the programme and send in their suggestions for further modification for the benefit of the students.
Ms Raji P Srivastava, Special Secretary Finance who is the nodal officer of this project gave an account of the outlines of this programme and highlighted the action schedule being implemented in the schools.
She said that every school had been involved in various activities and inspiring themes with art work, poem and messages had been created to propagate and make it a mass movement.
She said that this programme would help in redefining the role of education in human life and making our children aware of their social and civic responsibilities.

With Duckie Deck Sandwich Chef, kids can create funny faces with playful shapes, as they masterfully create their work of sandwich art. As kids create different types of sandwiches, they will use a balanced set of healthy foods and put them all together in a one-of-a-kind sandwich. I like how this app encourages healthy eating habits and introduces kids to a variety of foods. The app features bright, colorful graphics and fun sound effects, too. I love how the app allows children to be creative and use their imagination as they create different types of sandwiches (and faces). The app is simple enough that it can be played independently, or with an adult for younger children.
I really enjoyed the Duckie Deck Sandwich Chef app. I think that this app is a great way to teach kids about healthy eating, while also encouraging their artistic side. I would definitely recommend this app to parents, and I will be playing it with my son for sure!
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this app for review purposes.

Relations between the Government and health professionals sank to a new low after Andrew Lansley accused them of opposing his NHS reforms because they were upset about cuts to their pay and pensions.
Union leaders reacted furiously to the Health Secretary's claim that they wanted "to have a go" at the Government and his suggestion that they were not addressing his NHS shake-up on its merits. Mr Lansley is under fresh pressure after the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Royal College of Midwives (RCM) joined the British Medical Association in calling on the Coalition to drop its NHS and Social Care Bill.
Mr Lansley told the BBC the legislation was essential in order to give nurses and doctors clinical leadership. He said: "[The RCN] used to be a professional association that was working with us on professional issues and will carry on doing that, but now the trade union aspect of the Royal College of Nursing has come to the fore, they want to have a go at the Government... about things like pay and pensions." He added: "It's a purely political operation."
Mr Lansley claimed the RCN and RCM supported the principles of the Bill. "What they are actually unhappy about is pay, pensions and jobs. I complete understand that. But if there were no Bill the same issues would have to be addressed. We inherited a deficit, we are having to manage the NHS within limited increases, but actually next year the NHS budget is going to go up by 2.8 per cent."
Mr Lansley denied suggestions that his decision to allow hospitals to raise 49 per cent of their income from private patients was an issue, as hospitals had no limit at the moment. "You have to see the political nature of this. The RCN does not like private activity," he said. But Dr Peter Carter, general-secretary of the RCN, rejected Mr Lansley's claims, saying: "We are disappointed that the Secretary of State would suggest that nurses and healthcare assistants would put self interest before that of patients."
"Nurses want to provide the highest possible standards of patient care and it is at the heart of everything they do. However, members up and down the country are telling us this Bill is seriously destabilising the NHS. Equally, we know tens of thousands of posts are being lost throughout the NHS, which is putting patient care in jeopardy and that there is now a fundamental imbalance between competition and collaboration within the NHS."
Dr Carter said carrying on with the reforms at a time when the NHS must find £20bn in efficiency savings was "quite simply, the wrong thing to do".
Andy Burnham, the Shadow Health Secretary, said last night: "It is time to put the NHS first. The Government must listen to patients and NHS staff and put this Bill out of its misery."
Dromey failed to declare £28,000 union earnings
A Labour MP apologised to the Commons yesterday for failing to declare £28,000 of earnings from his trade union work.
Jack Dromey, the Shadow Housing Minister, was criticised by the Standards and Privileges Committee for a serious breach of Westminster rules. Mr Dromey, who is married to the deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman, carried on working part-time for Unite for nearly six months after he was elected MP for Birmingham Erdington. He received £28,000 for the work which he failed to include in the register of members' interests. He also failed to declare an interest when speaking in two parliamentary debates.

We isolated and developed 18 novel microsatellite markers for the giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) and examined them for 31 individuals from Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska. These loci displayed moderate levels of allelic diversity (averaging 11 alleles per locus) and heterozygosity (averaging 65%). Seven loci deviated from Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) due to heterozygote deficiency for the PWS population, although deviations were not observed for all these loci in other populations, suggesting the PWS population is not in mutation-drift equilibrium. These novel microsatellite loci yielded sufficient genetic diversity for potential use in population genetics, individual identification, and parentage studies.

Democratic pollster and longtime Clinton supporter and ally Doug Schoen announced on the "Fox Report" show Sunday night that he will not be voting for Hillary Clinton, saying he fears a constitutional crisis will occur should she be elected.
Schoen, a Fox News contributor, was an advisor on Bill Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign, and also worked on Hillary Clinton's failed 2008 presidential campaign. He said he has known the Clintons since 1994.
He said the reopened FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's email scandal forced him to reassess his support for her bid for the presidency. As the co-hosts of the show expressed shock at this announcement, Schoen said, "I have to, because of the impact on the governance of the country and our international situation."
Please read my article @thehill to understand my tough decision @FNInsiders #ImWithHer #MAGA https://t.co/QEKPmlt6CJ
— Doug Schoen (@DouglasESchoen) October 31, 2016
Monday morning, Schoen clarified and confirmed his decision to drop his support for Clinton in an editorial published to The Hill.
"I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life – not just political, but also personal – last night," Schoen wrote.
"FBI Director James Comey's decision to make public the fact that more emails potentially pertinent to the Clinton probe had been found on Anthony Weiner's computer changes the impact of this election on the future of the country.
I saw this because regardless of what Secretary Clinton did or didn't do or what her aide, Huma Abedin, did or didn't do or even what Anthony Weiner did or didn't do, I am now convinced that we will be facing the very real possibility of a constitutional crisis with many dimensions and deleterious consequences should Secretary Clinton win the election."
Schoen continued that due to all the criminal investigations now pending against Clinton and Abedin, as well as potential investigations into the Justice Department and the FBI, "I fear we will not be able to withstand this kind of continued scandal."
He said if Clinton were to win the election, her administration would be paralyzed and unable to govern and meet its responsibilities to the American public. "There will be no goodwill or honeymoon period for Clinton. Her first 100-days agenda will take a backseat to partisan divisions and polarization."
"Moreover, we simply cannot face a situation where the president elect may need or want a pardon from the president to govern. Or worse yet, need to pardon herself after she takes office," Schoen wrote.
He did make it clear that "I cannot vote for Donald Trump as his world view and mine are very different."
Schoen had been wavering for some time in his support of Clinton. In an editorial to the Wall Street Journal on May 31, he wrote that there was a good Clinton might not win the Democrat nomination, due to her growing legal problems and her inability to hold a significant lead over Donald Trump.
The FBI re-opening their investigation of her was the final blow, causing him to withdraw his support.

text: DALLAS-FORT WORTH, Texas, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kroger, the market share leader among traditional grocers in North Texas, has served the region since 1958. During this period, Kroger has evolved and expanded by monitoring consumer trends, and more importantly, continuously listening to customers and employees, and taking action. Kroger is committed to putting the customer first. Starting today, shoppers will find new lower prices on thousands of popular food and household items along with a renewed emphasis on shopping experience, fuel discounts, local products and community relations. "We're a strong brand and company but we've achieved that status because we're always looking for improvement opportunities. Kroger currently serves 662,000 households every week in the North Texas market with 86 locations and we continue to expand those numbers," says Bill Breetz, president of Kroger Southwest. "We know that price is important to every customer, and at times, can be a deciding factor where to shop. With our Refresh initiative, we're making a multi-million dollar investment to reduce prices across the store and reengaging our employees to offer highly-satisfied customer service." Through the new investment, Kroger has lowered prices on items customers purchase most frequently ranging from fruits and vegetables to grocery and household staples. National and private label brands are included in the widespread price reduction. Along with new lower prices, Kroger will continue to help shoppers maximize their savings by accepting valid print coupons, and digital coupons that are downloadable at Kroger.com and through the Kroger mobile app. Kroger also helps customers save by offering discounted pricing for 30- and 90-day generic drug prescriptions, providing a daily 25 percent discount on cosmetics, and giving a 10 percent wine discount when shoppers purchase six bottles or more. Kroger is a leader in fuel savings. Kroger allows customers to earn Fuel Reward points for every dollar they spend, excluding alcohol and tobacco products. Shoppers can quickly rack up points through everyday grocery, gift card and pharmacy purchases that are redeemable for savings up to $1 per gallon at Kroger Fuel Centers and 10 cents per gallon at participating Shell locations. Innovation always begins with the customer first. In response to customer feedback, Kroger has installed new technology that allows stores to deliver a faster checkout experience. With the new Refresh initiative, Kroger is recommitting to making customers' time a priority. To enhance the shopping experience, Kroger is striving to have more registers open, especially during peak shopping times, to keep shoppers' wait time to a minimum.

Putin promises no discrimination at Games
By Denis Dyomkin
MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday no athlete would face discrimination at next month's Winter Olympics, hoping to ease international concern over a Russian law banning gay "propaganda".
Aware that the success or failure of the Sochi Games will help shape his legacy, Putin has closely identified himself with the $50-billion event which opens on February 7.
Putin outraged many in the West last year by signing a law banning the spread of homosexual "propaganda" among minors. Critics say the law is discriminatory and aimed at stifling dissent but calls for a boycott of the Games have failed.
In a speech to new foreign ambassadors presenting their credentials at a ceremony in the Kremlin, Putin offered his latest assurance that every athlete will be treated equally.
"The Olympic Games will be held in full compliance with the Olympic charter, without any discrimination on any basis. Russia will be rooting for its own athletes of course, but we wish success to all the athletes," Putin said.
The Olympics in the Black Sea resort of Sochi are a priority for Putin, who wants to use them to showcase Russia's modern face to the world, more than two decades after the fall of the communist Soviet Union.
In an attempt to improve Russia's image on human rights before the Games, Putin has already eased curbs on protests in Sochi, freed members of the Pussy Riot punk protest group under an amnesty and released former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who had been Russia's most famous prisoner.
"I am confident the Olympics will bring nations closer together and help strengthen friendship, trust and partnership around the world," Putin said. Continued...

Superb Villa In Puerto Pollensa
The villa is even better than the photographs. Both the interior and exterior are top class. As a family we have been on villa holidays around Europe for twenty years and this is by far the best villa we have stayed at. Can Seran feels like a beautiful home rather than a holiday villa. It is very clean and well equipped throughout. The villa is really well located on a quiet lane, an easy 10 minute cycle from the port and a beautiful 25 minute countryside ride to the old town. I would recommend hiring a car so that you can experience some more of this lovely island. The owners were very easy and straight forward to deal with as was the housekeeper.
We were a family of 5 with 3 children aged 23, 25 & 27 from England staying for 2 weeks.
Excellent villa in nice and quiet location. We spent a fantastic week in this lovely and tastefully furnished finca. Everything was perfect from greetings by a property manager to begin with until our departure!
We arrived late evening, but the property was easy to find! Shops and restaurants as well as the beach in Puerto Pollensa are 2 km away, we were able to walk in 25-30 min. We would however recommend a car to explore all the beautiful neighborhoods - charming old town of Pollensa, cliffs of Formentor with its famous light house, excellent vineyards of Mortitx and much more! We will definitely be back!
Family from Poland
A Genuine Ballearic Chillout
We stayed at this house for a week in June. The house is as good as it looks on the pictures! Not photoshopped. Whilst it retains the traditional Mallorcan style it is all new throughout and designed to the highest standard with all the modern life amenities that one needs. A great retreat in a quiet and picturesque surroundings. All necessities are a stone's throw away including shops, bars and restaurants or if you fancy boat rides there is a marina in Port de Polenca where you can charter one and enjoy the magnificent bays and beaches inaccessible from land. Strongly recommend this house to families with kids or groups of friends.
We stayed at this house for one week in August last year as a family of four (2 adults + 2 kids) and it is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday. Chilling out at the house is very tempting yet various great beaches are within immediate reach. The house is very well appointed and tastefully finished and furnished and it is therefore very tempting just to chill out around the pool for a day and take in the scenic landscape. City life just a couple of minutes around the corner in Pollenca and beaches just a couple of minutes around the other corner in Puerto Pollenca (5 min bicycle ride). Great for adults to relax and unwind and great for families. Highly recommendable. Mike
From the Owner

(Reuters) - Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun says he has made amends with the specimen collector he blamed during a February 2012 news conference for what he described as a "fatally flawed" drug-testing protocol in Major League Baseball.
The former National League most valuable player said on Wednesday he had dinner earlier this week at the home of the urine specimen collector, Dino Laurenzi Jr., and had apologized for his actions during "some really good conversations."
Speaking publicly for the first time since he accepted a 65-game ban in July for violating the league's joint drug prevention program, Braun also expressed his deep regret for the "big mistake" he made in using performance enhancing drugs.
"We've made amends, and I think we're both excited to be able to move forward and put this behind us," five-time All-Star Braun told reporters while taking part in a food drive outside Miller Park in Milwaukee.
"I'm not going to get into too many details other than to say it was an incredible experience. It was extremely kind and gracious of them (Laurenzi and his family). They're really special people.
"I wish that I could change it. I wish that I hadn't said anything about him. I wish I knew more at the time I said what I said."
Braun escaped a 50-game suspension following his 2011 National League MVP season when his positive test for elevated testosterone levels was overturned after he challenged protocols over how his urine sample was handled.
During that challenge, Braun continually maintained his innocence while heavily criticizing the conduct of Laurenzi.
"I wish that I hadn't done the press conference," said Braun. "It was a big mistake. I deeply regret having done it, and a lot of the things that I said that day. My opinion on a lot of those things has definitely changed." Continued...

Third Person POV
Edward didn't understand the expression going across Bella's face. As her hand went to her side slowly, it seemed her brown eyes could not get any wider with horror and confusion. She was very obviously hurt by what he said. She quickly looked down from his eyes.
"I'm sorry," he said with urgency, taking a step forward to her. He would have liked to be the one in pain in place of her. He would do most anything to make sure Bella was never hurt. Now, he was the one who caused it.
Even as he apologized, Bella stared down at her worn out shoes, not sure what to do with herself. She loved him, and because she made one stupid mistake -well, a few awful blunders -she would lose the best friend she'd had for so long.
"Bella, please look at me," he said, his voice quietly begging her to do so.
She finally did, but he didn't like the sight as much as he usually did. Her eyes were brimming with tears, seeming about ready to burst.
"Bella..." He wasn't sure where to start with this. He had to say it, of course, but he had no idea how to go about doing so. Would he simply throw the L word out at her, seeing if she would catch it and return the favor? Should he wait on telling her any of it, holding off on a deep, dark secret he had since he was eight and realized Bella was the one and only girl in the whole wide world with no cooties?
He tried to do what he thought was right, and so, he simply spoke from his heart, which essentially was hers in the first place.
"It's not that easy to be friends with you," he smiled sadly. "It's hard to be with you, to see you all the time, and knowing that this isn't what I want. I'm your best friend, but I don't know how much longer I can keep up with this charade."
A tear finally escaped from its duck on Bella's face. "You don't like me. Is that it?" she said quietly. "I knew you couldn't like me." She knew she wasn't good enough to be with him. Every once in awhile, she even thought she wasn't honorable enough to share the same space as him. It wasn't a self loathing characteristic as much as it was a hopeless reality to her; she could never be with him, and she knew it. It was just hard to hear him finally say it to her face.
"Like you?" He eyed her curiously. He sighed. "I suppose I don't like you. Not the way you think." He laid a hand on her cheek, wiping away the tear. "People don't like others who consume their every thought, their every being, who become intertwined with who they are. People don't like others who they imagine growing old with, hoping they'd stay with them through life."
She was confused. "I don't understand," she said quietly. He said he didn't like her. Hadn't she heard that admitted from his lips? If that were so, why had he been just describing what sounded to her as a confession? "You don't like me?"
He smiled, one of those heart breaking gorgeous ones the average person -including Bella -couldn't help but stare at. He spoke so softly, she had to lean towards him to better hear the words that escaped without warning. "Isabella, I love you."
Her heart did not skip a beat, like most girls. Her heart very simply stopped moving.
He wasn't sure what to do now that he had finally said it. He looked down at her face, the confused expression coming back to her face.
"What?" she managed to say to him. She had to make sure she heard correctly.
"I love you, Bella."
So she had heard him right. But something had to be wrong with the statement. Maybe he felt sorry for her. Yes, she decided, pity could drive someone to lie like that. Edward was only human, and as compassionate as he had always been, he would go at any lengths to help someone, even if her were lying.
But the way he was looking at her, the way his green eyes were practically imprinting on her soul and heart, she had the impression that he was being more honest with her than he ever had.
But he wasn't in love with her, Bella concluded. He just loved her. That was all. Love could be classified into so many different categories. Surely even she was in one of his.
"Like a friend, right?" she said finally.
He shook his head and chuckled nervously. "No, not a friend. That's the whole problem."
"Like a sister, then?"
"Alice and Emmett love you like that. I love you. I'm in love with you, Bella. I have been since we were kids. You're my secret crush I've had for so long, too long. We're 17 years old. It's about time I fess up to it."
He didn't know what to make of her silence. Maybe she was stunned. He thought he had tried to ease it on her as best he could manage. He was put into even more confusion when more tears started to flow down her face and some landing on his own hand, where it was still laying on her cheek.
Maybe he should not have said anything.
"You love me?" she asked him, her voice cracking twice.
"But you... I..." She couldn't finish her sentences and tried to wipe her eyes as best she could with her sleeve, brushing his hand away from her face gently.
He sighed and pulled her into a protective embrace, his arms wrapping around her body as her tears dampened his shirt.
"This can't be possible," he heard her mumble.
"Why is it so impossible?" She didn't believe him. That must have meant she cared about the fact, even just a little bit. Maybe even...
"You can't love me."
He pulled her back and looked down at her face. "How could I not fall for you? You mean everything to me. If anything happened to you, I don't know what I would do with myself. I guess that's part of the reason I didn't want you to go out with Jacob."
"He's a good guy, Edward. That fight was years ago because you two couldn't stand each other."
He chuckled. "We couldn't stand to share you. That's why we couldn't stand each other. I wanted you all to myself, and I guess Jacob felt the same." He suddenly shook his head. "No. Not the same. No one cares about you like I do. I know that has to be true."
Bella almost laughed. It sounded so familiar to her friends' new stories on finding love. Rosalie told her that Emmett said no one could love her like he did. Alice said that no one could care for Jasper like she did. Now, Edward was saying the same thing to her.
Spring fever was definitely in action for Bella's clique.
"But being protective isn't a good excuse. I was just jealous that you'd actually found someone to be with besides me. That's why I went with Rosalie. I guess I used her, which wasn't right, either. Not that it ever felt right." He took he hands in his slowly, their fingers entwining with each others. He stared at their hands as he said, "Only you could drive me to insanity like this."
"Edward," she said quietly, "I'm sorry."
He looked back up at her face, displaying a small grin. "You've been apologizing like crazy already. What is it now?"
"I guess I'm sorry I hurt you. With Jacob and everything. I mean, I know I was angry and all but it was mostly because I was angry with myself, not you..." She couldn't bring herself to continue and admit the true reason for her behavior a few days ago.
He squeezed her hand in reassurance.
She took a shaky breath "I can't imagine being good enough for you."
There was a silent pause, until Edward finally said in shock, "What?" He seemed almost angry at her at that moment, although he didn't mean for it to come across in that way.
"W-well," she stuttered, taken aback by his tone, "you don't treat me like a real person, like an equal. I'm like a little breakable figurine no one else can touch, like I'm not even a person. I mean, I guess you think I'm not worthy. I can sort of understand that. You're an amazing person, and you could do so much better than me. If not with Rosalie or Tanya, then maybe Lauren or Jessica or-"
She was taken out of her reverie due to Edward quickly putting a hand in either side of her face, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"Don't you ever day that again." He said it softly almost growling at her.
"Say what?"
"Say you're not good enough for me. Do you honestly think that you're not worthy to be with me? That Jessica and Lauren are better than you? Bella, no one could ever be you. You're it for me."
"But I'm not pretty."
He chuckled. "You're beautiful."
Her face seemed to light a fire. "And the blush only makes it better," he snickered.
She ignored his comment. "But I can't walk two feet without tripping over air."
"And I hope I'm always there to catch you. "
She smiled softly. "You usually are. "
"I'm sorry if I don't seem to treat you right. I disdn't realize me being so overprotective would make you think that I didn't care about you. I just never want you hurt. I'll be there to make sure it never happens. If you let me, at least." He whispered the last part.
She was good enough. She was his equal. He was overprotective of her, but only because he cared so much for her. He was jealous of Jacob. He had accepted her apology and forgiven her, even though she couldn't quite understand how. And he loved her. There seemed to be only one thing missing from their cliché moment:
Her answer.
She gave it, in a way she could manage without tripping over her words, without getting side tracked by him staring at her, listening to her rant.
Isabella Swan laid her hands on Edward Cullen's shoulders, pushing herself onto her toes, so that her lips made their descent onto his.
Electricity pulsed rapidly through both their bodies. In one moment, his hands had left her face and went to wrap one on her waist and the other on the back of her neck, pulling her as close to him as he dared. Their lips gave each other the kiss, the release, the understanding they both seemed to need. The passion of their exchanged kisses seemed to be enough to set both their hearts on a fiery course.
When they finally pulled away, Edward set his forehead against Bella's, a sheepish grin on her face, along with a dull pink color that flushed her whole body. "So, you'll let me?" he finally asked, his voice hoarse.
She had forgotten their earlier conversation. "Let you what?" she asked breathless.
"Let me be there for you. Make sure you never get hurt."
"You did that before all this. What'll be the difference now?"
"Now, I want it to be official. I want to be the only one who'll protect you like that. The only one who can touch you like this." He held her tight against him. "The only one who can kiss you like that," he whispered.
This was as close he would get to asking her the blunt question "Will you be my girlfriend?" as he could get to.
Warmth flooded her senses once more as she sighed in content. "Oh, Edward," she said softly, kissing his lips chastely, "I love you so much. I always have, I always will."
"That's all I need, then," he said onto her lips, giving her a more passionate, more confident kiss than before. The first they shared was one out of desperation for her to understand what she meant to him. Now that he knew that she cared just as much, he kissed her lips almost as a seal that this was what he had been waiting for, and the finale he so desperately wanted.
No, not a finale, he thought. This is just the beginning.
A student walking by alerted them to their current setting, and they all but unwillingly realized they were currently at school, in the hallway, as they had been for the past fifteen or so minutes.
"Maybe we should spread the good news," Edward smiled. He let go of her and walked away from her to the cafeteria doors.
He turned around seeing that Bella hadn't left her previous position in the hall and stared at him, not completely ready to face everyone yet. Edward held out his hand for her. A smile going across her face, she walked quickly to set his hand in hers, as it always should stay.
"Time to face the world," she smiled up at him.
Before opening the doors, before facing the eyes of their peers, before the laughter and excitement from their friends would impact them... Before all of this was to take place, Edward stole a kiss upon Bella's cheek, and said happily, "My world is standing right next to me, and what a beautiful world it is."
Ta da! The end of a wonderful journey!! Unless readers beg for an epilogue with an idea handy, the story is over. Thank you so much for all the great reviews and encouragement on my very first fanfic!

"One little thing at a time," UK head coach Calipari said Monday when asked how he goes about fixing the team's recent issues. "Just keep coaching them and keep meeting with them and keep talking with them and showing them tape. They're 18- and 19-year-olds. It was only two weeks ago we were like, 'OK, we've got this figured out.' Two weeks later, we don't have it figured out."
Kentucky (21-8, 11-5 SEC) dropped to No. 25 in the AP poll after losing Saturday night at South Carolina, who entered the game last in the SEC standings. The Wildcats, astonishingly, trailed by 18 at one point in the game, which saw UK go almost 14 minutes without making a basket and its coach ejected after receiving a pair of technical fouls.
Calipari says he can't allow that to happen. His 2011 Final Four squad had also dropped eight games by this date, and he noted that UK isn't the only program dealing with issues late in the season. Five Top 10 teams lost games last week. One of them, No. 10 Saint Louis, dropped two. Thirteen Top 25 teams lost a total of 17 games.
"All the sudden we're like a bunch of other teams in the Top 25 who lost," Calipari said. "Some of us lost to unranked teams. You lose and you regroup and figure it out."
Figuring it out, however, is not as easy as it may sound. There's no question UK remains one of the most talented teams in the country, but putting all those pieces together and finding a way to maximize the potential is another matter.
Earlier this season, Calipari said he wanted the team to be more "player-driven" and less reliant on him micro-managing every aspect of the game. Now he's thinking maybe this particular group of players needs him to do just that.
"Obviously, they weren't ready," Calipari said. "… Now, if I have to coach every possession, I will. It's not what I want to do. What I want them to do is take on more responsibility, to where they're talking to one another and holding each other accountable. But it's hard for an 18- and 19-year-old group… But I'm going to be what they need me to be.
"How this plays out – at the end of the day, where we are – it's my job. They need me to keep leading them."
At least two players suggest their coach may be taking a bit too much heat right now. Senior guard Jarrod Polson says the players need to take more responsibility for the results.
"At the end of the day, it's on us," he said. "People are kind of hounding Cal right now, but at the end of the day it's really on the players. No matter how he's coaching, we have to respond to that in a good way. We've had a lot of talks with him personally and us as a team, so I think we're in a good spot. No matter what happens, we know that, at the end of the day, we have to go out and perform. It's not anyone else; it's us as players have to perform."
Senior swingman Jon Hood said the team is adopting an "us against the world" mindset.
"It's not on anybody else," he added.
Kentucky's biggest foe from here on out may be time. The Cats face Alabama on Senior Night on Tuesday at Rupp Arena, followed by a trip to Gainesville, Fla., to face the No. 1 Gators. From there, they're only guaranteed two more opportunities to play this season in the SEC and NCAA tournaments.
UK is currently the No. 2 seed in the SEC and is projected as a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Midwest region by ESPN "bracketologist" Joe Lunardi. The Cats maintain a No. 17 RPI despite the mounting losses.
"Where we are right now has no bearing on where we're going to be," Calipari said. "… We're good enough to do what we have to do."
The UK boss says his goals remain the the same.
"My mind hasn't changed about this team. It's just that we got to get them in a little different mindset," he said.
"Part of it is, when adversity hits, will you come together?"

'Anonymous shopping is a great idea in concept but internet shopping hasn't taken off in the same way people thought it would,' a spokesman said. There were several expressions of interest but none had led to a substantive offer.
SafeDoor employs 26 people, mainly software engineers, and a spokesman said the group was 'very far advanced' in finding them jobs elsewhere in the organisation. However, should alternative employment not be found it was likely staff would be made redundant.

Helping out at a friend's shop this week we pulled Scarlet in after work today and did my very first mod that involved more than just removing something: muffler delete - with duals! Took about 4 hours of experimenting, fitting, etc. for the T and second tailpipe, but the results are just what I was looking for. Moderate increase in volume (at idle the exhaust note is actually more noticeable than the injectors' little song now) but not to the point of altering occupants conversation volume even when under load, and no crackle or chambered tone but it's much more obvious what the engine sounds like. No turbo noise, but with two cats and the resonator still in the way I didn't expect any. It's 2" up to the T, then 2 1/4" (to match the factory tailpipe we kept) after that, all welded - the matching bumper cutout was my handiwork.
I'm really leaning toward some tasteful tips to give it that SS Malibu/Impala look. Anybody interested in taking their Cruze to South central MO for the same treatment, PM me and I'll give you my friend's info. FYI, for the benefit of the discussion last week about how much a muffler delete should cost, a non-dual-conversion delete is honestly as simple as cutting the muffler and two 6"? pieces of pipe off, fabbing a foot or so of nearly straight pipe to bridge the gap, modifying one hanger and adding another - we'd have been done in a half hour if not for the dual setup. Not sure if a jack, sawzall, and some generic pipe pieces and clamps are adequate in this instance, but not a $200 at any shop in my eyes.

Lindsay Lohan: primed for a comeback that could be her last
By Eric Kelsey
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - At the premiere of director Paul Schrader's micro-budget thriller "The Canyons" last week in Los Angeles, the film's star and Hollywood's favorite troubled actress, Lindsay Lohan, was nowhere to be found among the booze-sipping pool-side crowd.
"We get used to these last-minute situations," Schrader wryly told the audience. "We know that she wanted to come, but the drama wasn't sufficient enough."
"The Canyons," penned by "American Psycho" author Bret Easton Ellis and also starring adult film actor James Deen, is just one step in Lohan's latest attempt to revive her stalled acting career, which at age 27 may be running short on time, according to industry veterans.
The former child star who earned high marks for her roles in 1998's "The Parent Trap" and 2004's "Mean Girls" is as well-known for her legal troubles - theft and reckless driving - as for her talent. She has been to rehab six times.
"Lindsay lives in an atmosphere of chaos," Schrader said in an interview. "It just seems to be part of her makeup and if there isn't chaos, somehow there becomes chaos. It's exhausting to be around her. It's exhausting for her."
Lohan's early success and enviable looks made her one of the most sought-after actresses of her generation. But her inability to steer clear of trouble has pushed many fans to write her off in recent years.
Since leaving a court-ordered 90-day stint in rehab last month, the actress has enlisted a sober coach to help her stay clean, guest-hosted comedienne Chelsea Handler's talk show "Chelsea Lately" on U.S. cable network E! and taped an interview with redemption queen Oprah Winfrey that will air on Sunday.
"It's not a one-shot situation, it's one day at a time, and her primary problem is reliability," Schrader added. "It's not lack of talent or lack of charisma. It's lack of reliability." Continued...

What is a support group?
A support group is a self-help group. It is run by and for people who have a common particular challenge or life situation. Support groups are composed of people with lupus, family members, and/or friends who gather periodically to share common concerns. People are willing to talk freely and to trust openly in the good will of the other group members.
A support group is a place to be yourself. The most difficult "step" is walking in the door. The program is about making yourself and others feel welcomed and accepted. It means knowing that your privacy and confidentiality will be respected.
A support group is a source of information. Its members are a treasury of practical experience! They are also great collectors of articles, newsletters, books, and other information about lupus and they enjoy sharing them with others.
A support group is an added circle of friends. Here is the place to talk, laugh, and cry about life with lupus with people who will listen, laugh and cry, too. (This can save much "wear and tear" on family and other relationships!) It is a safe place for people to learn, share, and help. Individual differences and confidentiality are respected.
Living Well with Lupus Chat - A Telephonic Support Group Meeting

Headline inflation numbers and the RBI's policy review will be closely watched by investors
The local market is likely to open with a gap-down opening on concerns about the possibility of the Reserve Bank of India hiking interest rates by 25 basis points in its policy review later this week and the slowdown across the world. Markets in Asia were down in early trade on Monday on dismal economic news across the region and Wall Street tumbled nearly 1.5% on Friday as slowdown in the country's hurt investor sentiment. The SGX Nifty was at 5,460, down 25.50 points from its previous close of 5,485.50.
Dismal economic news from the domestic arena and disturbing signals globally resulted in the market closing with a 1% cut last week. Investors will be focused on the Reserve Bank of India's mid-quarter policy review on Thursday, as it weighs another possible rate hike to combat stubborn inflation and the pace of economic growth slows.
The market closed with modest gains on the first two trading days. However, adverse comments by US Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke dragged the market sharply lower on Wednesday. The indices settled flat on Thursday, but a steep decline in industrial output for April forced a deep cut on Friday.
Overall, the Sensex lost 108 points to close the week at 18,269 and the Nifty settled 31 points down at 5,486. The market has closed negative for three of the past four weeks. It is witnessing a downtrend with the first support on the Nifty at 5,415. If it breaches this level, the market may fall to around 5,350.
The weakening trend from the US markets on Friday and not-so-good economic news from countries across Asia led to a lower opening for markets across the region. Japan's machinery orders fell for the first time in four months in April. Factory orders declined 3.3% in April from a 1% rise in March. Analysts had projected an increase of 1.7%. Realty shares in Hong Kong traded lower after the Kong Monetary Authority on 10th June said buyers of homes costing more than HK$6 million ($770,000) will have to increase up-front payments.
The Shanghai Composite sank 1.22%, the Hang Seng declined 0.82%, the Jakarta Composite fell 0.36%, the KLSE Composite was down 0.40%, the Nikkei 225 retraced 0.77%, the Straits Times contracted 0.47% and the Taiwan Weighted was down 0.39%. Bucking the trend, the Seoul Composite was trading 0.40% higher in early trade.
The US markets ended with deep cuts on Friday as the Federal Reserve has failed to outline a new stimulus plan after the $600 billion bond-buying QE2 comes to an end this month. Though there was no particular reason for the decline, fears of the slowing pace of the global recovery weighed on investors. Financials made a late-session comeback after news that extra capital charge on the biggest banks is likely to be at 2% to 2.5%, instead of the widely-reported 3%.
