The Luxury Differenceby Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director | October 2, 2003
Most of my cruises have been on budget, mass market, and premium cruise lines, with a couple of past luxury cruises. Having just completed a cruise on the new Radisson Seven Seas Voyager, I thought I'd try to explain in my own way what you might expect on a luxury Radisson Seven Seas cruise, and what our experiences were.
The most obvious thing you'll notice by the end of first day is the quality of the toilet paper. Rashes will not be tolerated for luxury cruise passengers.
Wet Seat Syndrome is common on luxury cruises, and was evident on our Voyager cruise. The staff is professionally trained to kiss your derrieres throughout your cruise. While staff on the "regular" cruise lines, are often almost as good at this, there really is an easily noticeable difference on the luxury lines.
The check-in and embarkation process is certainly more efficient and less stressful on a luxury cruise. One contributing factor to this is simply that luxury ships handle smaller numbers of passengers; thus the process should be much better, and generally is.
On less luxurious cruise lines, you may or may not be greeted by white gloved attendants who offer you a glass of champagne and escort you to your cabin. On a luxury cruise, it would be expected, and someone would be in deep trouble if it didn't happen. Personally I found it a bit awkward to have a staff member half my size struggling to lug our carry-ons through the hallways. I was tempted to pick her up with the carry-ons, and carry them both.
Fellow Passengers
Since this was my first Radisson Seven Seas cruise, I wasn't sure what/who to expect for fellow cruisers. There was a surprising, very broad cross-section of age groups, with the average age not noticeably different than we've seen on Celebrity, Princess, or even RCI and Carnival. The only exception, we saw only 15-20 kids under 18.
The people we spoke to seemed like a very well traveled group. And they are not just cruise enthusiasts. They seemed to love travel of any kind, and most were very travel savvy. They appeared to be well-heeled, and likely held a comforting expectation that being on a luxury cruise, they were in the company of their peers -- though you never know, as I was hiding in their midst.
One might imagine a bit of a pretentious crowd on a luxury cruise, but this was not apparent to us at all. Most everyone seemed friendly and more than willing to chat at every opportunity. It was common to be greeted by fellow passengers at all times, whether passing in a hallway, or sitting at tables near to each other in a lounge.
I became friendly with a fellow passenger from Rome, who insisted next time we're in that city that we call, and he'd send his car for us. I really wanted to know more about this type of car, because, I explained, my car won't go anywhere without me driving it.
The Experience
Heading out on a luxury cruise on Radisson Seven Seas, our expectations were admittedly high. Considering the relatively high cost of such a cruise, I believe such expectations are justified.
About the only time one had to pay for liquid refreshments was for the odd cocktail at the ship's bars and restaurants. The oddity in this policy is that there is a charge for wine during lunch in the dining rooms and restaurants.
Mrs. Kuki and I only rarely drink alcohol, so this policy did not affect us directly.
Another nicety occurred on a sea day, when there was a German-themed buffet at poolside. The buffet had an extensive selection, with complimentary German beer served throughout lunch. In fact, the Food and Beverage Manager was pouring the beer, and the Executive Chef was manning the Grill.
On another occasion there was a "Martini Night" in one of the lounges, and everyone present received a free martini.
Radisson Seven Seas features onboard self-serve laundries, with complimentary detergent automatically dispensed. These laundry rooms were, surprisingly, very busy. I guess I didn't expect members of this well-heeled crowd to be doing their own laundry on a cruise, but I was wrong. (This did put a crimp in our onboard revenue, as we normally take in laundry to help pay my casino tab.)
Where other lines cite security reasons for not allowing passengers to visit the bridge, on Voyager the bridge had an open-door policy for guests on sea days.
In contrast to this, in the casino, I noticed all bills larger than $20 denominations were checked with a special pen to make certain they weren't counterfeit.
So if you were a passenger you weren't considered a security risk if you entered the bridge, but you could be the head of an international forgery ring.
Mrs. Kuki and I were invited to dine with the Captain -- a very gracious and friendly host, and an evening we enjoyed. There were a couple of things that surprised us about this evening.
We were instructed to meet the social hostess outside of the Compass Rose Dining Room so we could be escorted in. In our past experience, an invitation to dine with the Captain is "an event." Meeting in the hall, rather than in a lounge for a pre-dinner drink, minimized the event, in my view.
Radisson Seven Seas makes it clear that tipping is not expected, and is included in the fare. However, we noticed that on the last night of the cruise the cabin stewards were conveniently available in the hallways. We were happy to reward our steward team with an extra tip, as they had supplied us with extraordinary service. I carry a thermal cup with me, for a huge supply of morning coffee, and each evening, besides a clean cabin, I found my cup washed as well.
The menus in all dining venues are fairly exotic. However, I found the selections to be somewhat limited: perhaps three appetizers, two salads, one pasta, and three entree choices. In addition, there were "always available" choices of a steak, fish, and pasta.
Fish and seafood lovers would probably be most satisfied with the menus. As a meat-and-potatoes guy, I faced more of a challenge. My personal tastes run to beef, veal, pork, chicken, and pasta. I was surprised how often I had to revert to the "always available" section of the menu. And frankly, I found the steak on that portion of the menu less than exceptional.
Presentation, on the other hand, was very artful. Everything always looked great, although the taste occasionally didn't match that standard. This was particularly true with desserts. They looked so fabulous, I certainly never passed on the chance to taste them.
One thing you can do on Radisson that you can't on the more mass-market cruise lines is this: With 24 hours' notice you can pre-order pretty much anything you want for dinner the next evening, whether it's on any of the menus or not. The limiting factor, of course, is whether the ingredients are onboard.
The Cordon Bleu restaurant onboard is Signatures. This is a reservations-only restaurant, but there is no extra charge. Both food and service here were fabulous. Signatures has a set menu that does not change throughout the cruise. They do, however, offer several choices for each course. But I'm inclined to think that on a luxury cruise, an alternative restaurant should simply be a different choice -- not an entirely different, higher level of service and food quality from the other dining venues.
The ship offers two other restaurants. Latitudes had only one set seating each night, and the menu, though with changing themes nightly, was a set menu. You can select one of two entrees but the rest of the menu -- appetizer, soup, etc. -- is set. Your choice is simply yes or no. Still, the restaurant is cute, with an open galley where guests watch the chefs prepare the meal.
The final choice is La Veranda. The ship's buffet area during breakfast and lunch becomes a "Mediterranean Style" bistro in the evening. It's quite comfortable, casual and relaxed compared to the other dining venues onboard.
This area also has space outside, on the stern, with tables and chairs for al fresco dining, but the weather on our trip was a bit cool to take advantage.
The Cabin
Except for the small balcony, there's not much more one could want in ocean going accommodations.
The first day onboard, as we checked out our suite's amenities, I was startled to hear the doorbell ring. I've never had a doorbell on a ship before, and when it rang the first time I put on my life vest and prepared to head to the muster drill.
When "regular folks" get the opportunity to board a luxury vessel, perhaps we do so with overly high expectations. I have to admit being picky became part of the persona I thought would be expected of me, if I was to cruise on a luxury line and had to act like a grown-up.

The Politics Department at Willamette University challenges students to develop robust theoretical and practical understandings of the political world. Politics majors at Willamette benefit from challenging courses, taught by award-winning professors, that span the breadth of political interests and perspectives.
Our majors learn to read carefully, research effectively, speak competently, think critically, and write persuasively about the important political and socio-economic controversies that surround us. They are encouraged to think broadly yet pursue specific questions, issues and areas.
In political theory courses, students debate the perennial questions: "What is the purpose of politics?" "What is justice?" "What is the good life?" and reflect on more than two millennia of answers stretching from Homer to Homer Simpson. In American politics courses, students study environmental and welfare policies, the initiative and referendum process, constitutional law, the presidency, political parties, and elections. In global politics courses, students focus on Europe, Asia and Latin America, on topical issues such as the processes of democratization, economic development, globalization, revolution and war, and on national foreign policy regarding diplomacy, peace, and military security. As the capstone experience in their senior year, all politics majors work closely with a faculty advisor to complete a rigorous independent research thesis.
Located across the street from the Oregon State Capitol, our students benefit from immediate access to a real-world setting. Many students take advantage of our vibrant internship program at the Capitol by working in the Legislature or the Governor's Office, or with a state agency or lobbyist. Many also take part in the study of politics off campus for a semester, either on domestic programs in Washington, DC, and Chicago, or on study abroad programs in Australia, Britain, Chile, Cuba, France, Ecuador, Germany, Ireland, South Africa and Spain.

The glorious government of the world's greatest #1 chief minister of all time, Narendra Modi, has found a solution to the whole people-who-don't-vote problem:
Gujarat on Saturday became the first state in India to make voting compulsory in all local body elections, with chief minister Narendra Modi terming it a "move to strengthen democracy". Amid opposition from the Congress, the assembly passed the controversial Gujarat Local Authorities Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2009.
The bill makes voting mandatory in elections to all seven municipal corporations, 159 municipalities, 26 district panchayats, 223 taluka panchayats and in 13,713 village panchayats of the state. The bill, which also seeks to raise the reservation of seats for women in local self governance bodies from 33% to 50%, was passed by voice vote.
Yeah, baby. Forcing someone to do something is what democracy is all about. Just like when you don't want ice cream to melt, you take it out from the freezer and put it outside, under the sun.
This is how democracy works, you stupid non-believers. You vote for your leaders, and they decide what you drink, what you read, what you eat because obviously, in a democracy, you have no right to decide any of those things. If you really want any of those things, try a different state. Or country. Whatever. Although, make sure it's not North Korea, because they have compulsory voting there too, among other things.
According to the new law, all registered voters in Gujarat will be required to vote. Those absent will be asked to submit a valid reason . The bill empowers the election officer to declare people who do not vote as 'defaulter voters'.
Of course, the only people who will benefit from this law will be those election officers who will now be able to earn bribes so as to exempt those prickly 'defaulter voters' from getting prosecuted. And those who can't afford too, well, too bad. They should have thought of that before registering to vote.
Anyways, the ultimate irony was reserved for when the bill was being 'debated' in the Gujarat assembly:
Chief minister Narendra Modi and most of his ministers were absent when the Bill was being voted in the House. Cabinet ministers Vajubhai Vala, close Modi ally Dilip Sanghani and Jay Narayan Vyas. Ministers of state Jaswantsinh Bhabhor, Vasan Ahir and Purshottam Solanki were also missing from the Assembly. Nearly 40 per cent of MLAs in a House of 181 were absent during voting.
You know what? Instead of trying to mandate people to vote, maybe they should make it compulsory for politicians to not be two-faced, hypocritical, no good neanderthals.
Somebody should put that on the ballot
Hell, I'd vote for it.

An Ardmore Police Department sergeant was charged Wednesday afternoon in Carter County District Court with poisoning dogs in his neighborhood.
The charge — "Laying out poison for domestic animals" — was filed by District Attorney Craig Ladd against Sgt. Barry Antwine.
The charge accuses Antwine "on or about the 7th day of April, 2014, by putting a substance in a Cool Whip bowl that contained ethylene glycol (antifreeze) knowing the same to be poisonous to dogs, and placed said bowl outside of his residence, but on his property, with the intent that it be taken by domestic animals roaming in the neighborhood ..."
Antwine did not make an initial appearance in district court Wednesday. Ladd said a summons has been issued, and the APD sergeant, who serves in the patrol division, has been ordered to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. June 11.
APD Chief Ken Grace said Antwine has been on administrative leave since the allegations were leveled that he was poisoning dogs in the Hickory Ridge addition where he lives.
"He was immediately placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation. I requested the district attorney's office conduct the investigation so there would be no question of impropriety since he was an officer with this department," Grace said.
Ladd confirmed DA Investigator Marc Sanders had conducted the inquiry.
"When Ken requested the investigation be moved to our office, I agreed to have Marc conduct it. I felt, under the circumstances, it would give the investigation more integrity," Ladd said.
Talking about the case and the charge against Antwine Wednesday afternoon, Grace said, "Obviously it's disappointing. It would be disappointing to learn charges like these had been filed against any officer. It's especially disappointing that it's an APD officer."
Confirming Antwine remains on administrative leave pending the outcome of the case, the chief added, "At this point, the APD will take a step back and await the outcome of the charge before taking any kind of action."
Attempts to contact Antwine concerning the charge were unsuccessful.
If convicted, Antwine faces up to a year in the county jail and/or a fine of $500.

Workaround puts Skype on the iPhone
A complex remote-control work around has achieved what every geek wants: running Skype on an iPhone.
While some are working to unlock the iPhone, to use on other networks, others are working to give its users cheap calls using the popular Skype VoIP software.
The breakthrough comes from Tom Keating of TMC Labs, and is likely to be more of a proof of concept, as it uses a complex remote control application, and doesn't actually deliver free calls, though they may be cheaper.
Skype Mobile can be used on Windows Mobile phones to make free or cheap calls from Wi-Fi hot spots, but it has not yet been ported to the iPhone. Such a port is probably not a priority with AT&T, the phone operator providing the iPhone, or with Apple, although reviews have found the phone has good Wi-Fi performance.
The Skype-on-iPhone solution is described as a "workaround-around" using a remote control application, SoonR, to remotely use the Skype application running on the user's desktop computer, and make the calls from there.
It's a bit more complicated than that, however.
SoonR Talk is an AJAX application running on the Opera browser (which has to be installed on the iPhone). It connects to the desktop via the SoonR server, and then SoonR Talk sets up the call.
It dials out from Skype and makes a SkypeOut call to the mobile, conferencing the two calls together. This uses at least one and possibly two paid SkypeOut calls, which in many cases may still be substantially cheaper than dialling direct from the iPhone. For instance, unlimited SkypeOut credits for U.S. dialling can be bought for $30 per year.

50 reasons to watch the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games
Andy Soule, who is attempting to make the 2014 U.S. Paralympic Team for biathlon and cross-country skiing, is the first American to win an Olympic or Paralympic medal in biathlon. He won bronze at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.
In 50 days, just two weeks after Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games, the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games will take place March 7-16 in Sochi, Russia. The Paralympic Winter Games will feature seven disciplines of five sports, as recognized by the International Paralympic Committee, for a total of 72 medal events, including men's and women's standing snowboard cross.
The United States will compete in each of the five sports (alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, sled hockey and wheelchair curling) contested in Sochi with an estimated team of 77 athletes, an increase of 27 athletes from the 2010 U.S. Paralympic Team. The 2014 U.S. Paralympic Team will be named on Feb. 21.
NBC and NBC Sports Network will combine to air 50 hours of television coverage for the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, starting on March 7 with the Opening Ceremony. It will be followed by daily coverage of all five Paralympic sports in the Sochi program, before the Games' Closing Ceremony is broadcast on March 16.
In addition to the unprecedented U.S. television coverage, the USOC will provide live online coverage of both the Sochi and Rio Paralympic Games at TeamUSA.org.
Here are 50 reasons to watch the Paralympic Winter Games:
1. The Sochi Games will be the first Olympic or Paralympic Games (either summer or winter) for the Russian Federation, as the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow were in the former Soviet Union. It is the largest Paralympic Winter Games ever with more athletes and events than ever before.
2. No shortage of action on the slopes as alpine skiers are set to compete in downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super-G and super combined.
3. Disabled? Paralympic alpine skiers can hit speeds of 65 miles per-hour.
4. Alpine skier Alana Nichols is back. She medaled at the International Paralympic Committee Alpine Skiing World Cup in Panorama, B.C., last week, her first major event since a serious shoulder injury in summer 2013. Can she defend her two Paralympic gold medals from Vancouver?
5. Stephani Victor has had one of the most successful 2013-14 campaigns with multiple world cup victories. If she makes the cut for Sochi, she will go in as the defending champion in super combined (women's sitting), where she beat Nichols.
6. In Vancouver, Laurie Stephens did not have the success of her competitors Nichols and Victor, but she goes into Sochi as the United States' only defending world champion in alpine skiing, male or female. She won downhill at the world championships. Stephens won two gold medals at the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games, in downhill and super-G, and the silver in downhill at the Vancouver Games.
7. A medal contender in multiple alpine skiing events, Allison Jones is poised to make her seventh U.S. Paralympic Team next month. She has competed three times in alpine skiing and three times in cycling. Will she follow her London gold with Sochi gold?
8. Melanie Schwartz, who competes in women's standing races against Jones, competed for Canada at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. She's now adding blue to her red and white, competing for Team USA.
9. Alpine skiing might seem like an unlikely career path for Danelle Umstead but she heads to Sochi as a two-time Paralympic medalist. Visually impaired, her spotted vision limits her sight to less than five feet, and even then, only contrasting colors without any level of detail. There is no chance of return vision, nor is there a cure. Umstead, who is guided by her husband Rob, was also recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and central nervous system.
10. What did you do on your summer vacation? Staci Mannella, 17, who is enrolling at Dartmouth College this fall, made herself a favorite for Sochi. In her first ever world cup race over the summer in New Zealand, the visually impaired skier struck gold.
11. Stephanie Jallen, a women's standing skier who has an underdeveloped left side because of congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosis and limb defects syndrome, is just two months older than Mannella. Will she win a Paralympic medal before she receives a high school diploma?
12. In Vancouver, Mark Bathum won the silver medal in men's visually impaired downhill, making him the only U.S. man to medal in alpine skiing at the 2010 Games, and took fourth in the men's super-G. He's already won multiple world cups this year. Can he win a Paralympic gold?
13. Heath Calhoun, who was injured while serving with the U.S. Army in Iraq, carried the flag at the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games but left the Games empty handed. The father of three opened his season with world cup hardware.
14. Andrew Kurka is ready to make a name for himself. At the 2014 IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup in Panorama, B.C., he won a gold medal in the downhill (men's sitting), his first ever world cup title.
15. Tyler Walker is no stranger to international success, winning multiple world cup titles in men's sitting. But Sochi could mark his first Paralympic medal.
16. Jasmin Bambur, who previously competed for his native Serbia in men's sitting, passed up the 2013 world championships so he could be with his wife as she gave birth to their second daughter. But he plans to make up for lost time in Sochi.
17. In his first season with the U.S. Paralympics Alpine Skiing Team, Jamie Stanton, a student at the University of Denver, has already gained worldwide attention. Ranked 31 in the world heading into the slalom event at the International Paralympic Committee Alpine Skiing World Cup in New Zealand on Aug. 23, Stanton snuck in for the bronze medal. Could he sneak onto the podium in Sochi?
18. U.S. Paralympics officials turned to motocross designers and manufacturers during the 2012-13 season to help create suspension that will enhance Team USA's performance. The new mono-skis will make their Paralympic debut in Sochi. The retail price for mono-ski seats, suspensions and skis is more than $5,000 apiece, with custom-built equipment increasing in cost.
19. Men's and women's standing snowboard cross are making a Paralympic debut as a part of the alpine skiing program. Team USA can send up to five men and five women to compete.
20. Alpine skiing was the most medal-rich American sport at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, as U.S. athletes reached the podium 11 times, earning three gold, five silver and three bronze medals. With the addition of snowboarding, Team USA could easily surpass the 2010 alpine medal count.
21. The type of snowboarding contested at the Paralympic Winter Games is snowboard cross, which is based on time. Also known as "boardercross", snowboarders start at the top of a course and race down to the finish line, navigating jumps and turns along the way.
22. Keith Gabel and Evan Strong are ranked No. 1 in the world men's standing snowboard cross along with New Zealand's Carl Murphy. Mike Shea, who won the season opening world cup, is ranked fourth.
23. In June 2005, snowboarder Keith Gabel was involved in an industrial accident that crushed his left foot. Following four blood transfusions, 26 hyperbaric treatments and a blood clot in his left lung, the doctors told Gabel that he would most likely watch his foot die. After two weeks, he made the decision to amputate his foot. Gabel returned to his snowboard three months later.
24. Strong is not just a world class snowboarder, he is also a foodie. He and his wife, Mariah, operate their organic vegetarian restaurant, The Fix for Foodies, in Nevada City, Calif.
25. Shea ditches his goggles and snow pants for a sweater and slacks every now and then as a brand ambassador for Ralph Lauren.
26. Amy Purdy and Heidi Jo Duce are ranked No. 2 and No. 3 in the world in women's standing snowboard cross. Nicole Roundy is ranked fifth.
27. Duce beat Purdy 1:50.32 to 1:50.35 at the 2013 U.S. Paralympics Snowboarding National Championships on Purdy's home course. "My goal has been to be as good as Amy Purdy or better than her," Duce said. "It was amazing to win that competition when we were both racing well. Knowing that I have the chance to do well, the chance to beat someone like Amy gives me more confidence than ever."
28. Purdy, one of the only double amputee snowboarders, competes in more than snowboarding. In 2012, the co-founder of Adaptive Action Sports was a contestant on "The Amazing Race" reality television competition with her boyfriend.
29. Roundy, a survivor of osteogenic sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, which she was diagnosed with at age 8, is lucky to be alive, let alone competing. "During treatment for cancer, my heart stopped twice. The first time I scrambled for the call button just before I blacked out. The second time I was in an elevator with my mother. There were no bright lights or angels. It was very much like a deep sleep when you feel like you're waiting for something."
30. Team USA is bigger and better in Nordic skiing than ever before. Only six athletes competed in biathlon and cross-country at the Vancouver Games. The U.S. will send 17 to Sochi.
31. U.S. Army veteran Andy Soule became the first U.S. biathlete ever to win a medal at the Olympic or Paralympic Winter Games in 2010 when he claimed the bronze in the men's sitting 2.4-kilometer individual pursuit. Soule, injured in Afghanistan, is returning to Sochi in hopes of becoming a Paralympic gold medalist.
32. Team USA won 13 medals at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Nordic Skiing World Cup in Cable, Wis., in January, with Navy Lieutenant Commander Dan Cnossen leading the American tally with two medals in biathlon and two in cross-country. His cross-country medals marked the first for the U.S. in recent memory. Cnossen, who attended the U.S. Naval Academy, stepped on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, resulting in the amputation of both legs. He was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star with V (for valor) from the Secretary of the Navy.
33. 2010 U.S. Paralympian Sean Halsted, ret., U.S. Air Force, is looking for his first Paralympic medal. At the 2010 Games, he had two top-10 finishes - something he hopes to improve on at the Sochi Games.
34. Aloha. Can a Hawaiian really compete in biathlon or cross-country skiing? Jeremy Wagner, who served with the U.S. Army Reserves, wants to show you it can be done. Injured in a motorcycle accident, the native of Nanakuli, Hawaii, found Nordic skiing when he met a U.S. Paralympics coach at the 2010 Veterans Affairs' National Veterans Wheelchair Games. Shortly after, Wagner took a chance and left the sandy beaches of Hawaii for the snowcaps of the Colorado Rockies so he could train full time.
35. Oksana Masters is not just any body. The rower turned Nordic skier appeared in ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue. "I want to change the perception of what the public thinks beauty is," the Ukrainian adoptee said. "These days there is so much pressure from media for young women to think of beauty in a certain way."
36. Masters took to the snow after winning a bronze medal with Rob Jones, a former U.S. Marine, at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. She proved her worth in December 2013, winning a first-ever cross-country skiing world cup medal (bronze), the only medal for the U.S. women in recent history.
37. Tatyana McFadden is earning her nickname. Called "The Beast", McFadden became the first woman to win to win six IPC Athletics world titles in 2013, then became the first to win all four major marathons (Boston, London, Chicago and New York). Now she's trading her racing chair for a sit ski with a shot in biathlon and cross-country skiing for Sochi.
38. She's back. Monica Bascio, who competed in cross-country skiing in Vancouver, is making a return to the sport after retiring from cycling in summer 2013. Basico was named the United States Olympic Committee's 2012-13 Paralympic SportsWoman of the Year for going undefeated in road cycling on the world cup series and at the world championships.
39. Think curling is easy? The wheelchair curling stone weighs 44 pounds.
40. The U.S. has never medaled in wheelchair curling at the Paralympic Winter Games, but that all could change at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Russia. They were fourth at the 2013 worlds.
41. Some are balancing the Paralympic dream with parenthood. While competing for their nation, four nominees to the 2014 U.S. Paralympic Wheelchair Curling Team are also raising children. David Palmer has three children, while Patrick McDonald has one daughter and one son. Penny Greely has one son. Jimmy Joseph has one daughter.
42. What team sport has participants ages 15-35? Sled hockey. Brody Roybal is the youngest team member at 15. Andy Yohe, entering his third Games, is 35 with two kids, including a newborn. Declan Farmer is 16.
43. No country has ever won consecutive sled hockey titles at the Paralympic Winter Games. Team USA won the gold medal at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. In 2012, the United States successfully defended its 2009 International Paralympic Committee Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships (A) title, becoming the first ever back-to-back world champions. The U.S. was second to Canada at 2013 worlds.
44. In January 2014, the United States played the last of its sled hockey games prior to Sochi, taking two out of three from No. 1 Canada in Indian Trail, N.C. We're ready for Sochi, eh?
45. Steve Cash is money. Considered by many as the world's best goalie, he made 895 saves over 86 games from the start of his first season (2007-08) through last season. At the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, the second Games of his career, he did not allow a goal in five contests, stopping all 33 shots including a penalty shot attempt in the gold medal game.
46. Paralympic champion Josh Pauls switched from defense to forward during the 2012-13 season, a change that led to him becoming Team USA's leading scorer with nine goals and 11 assists in 16 games. Can he lead Team USA to gold in his new position?
47. The veterans are rookies. Sled hockey has three military veterans and one active duty solider on the roster with all four set to make their Paralympic debut in Sochi. The military athletes are Army Staff Sergeant Yung Lee, goalkeeper; Army veteran Rico Roman, defenseman; Marine Corps veteran Paul Schaus, forward; and Marine Corps veteran Josh Sweeney, forward.
48. Team USA had five military athletes compete in Vancouver. Currently, 17 active duty and veteran military athletes are in the mix in Sochi, with at least one contending for a spot in each sport.
49. The Star-Spangled Banner is a good song. And you could hear it a lot as Team USA sends one of its most competitive teams ever to Sochi.
50. Why watch the Paralympic Winter Games? Because you can. With the support of sponsors BMW, BP, Citi, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Procter & Gamble and The Hartford, NBC and NBC Sports Network will combine to air 50 hours of television coverage for the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, March 7-16. Every moment of the action – all estimated 149 hours – will also be streamed live on TeamUSA.org. It is more coverage than any previous Games, summer or winter, in history.
Athletes were nominated to the 2014 U.S. Paralympic Teams for sled hockey and wheelchair curling in December 2013. In January, athletes in biathlon and cross-country skiing will receive nominations, while the alpine skiing and snowboard athletes will be nominated in February.

After three rainy days in the Harper's Ferry, WV campground, the sun came out and the weather was perfect for a camp -- so I am leaving... go figure! Well, I can't let the weather dictate where I want to go, and I decided to go back to the Shenandoah Valley and see some more of the great state of Virginia. I was possibly tracing the route of my Harbison, Thornburgh, Polson, Bryan, King, Haywood and Hope families before the Revolution as they moved south and eventually went throught the Cumberland Gap to Kentucky. It was a fine day. The squirrels were out, almost coming into the van. Also the people began emerging from their big motor homes. There weren't any Appalachian Trail hikers. Too wet I think.
I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to stay - but knew it would be at a motel, as I wanted to connect back to the internet and recharge all my batteries –the jump-start power battery, Video Camera, Cell Phone, and Laptop batteries. It was a beautiful day. Heading down south into the Shenandoah Valley I came to Winchester, I ate at Shoney's breakfast bar and even got a discount for being elderly! $5.49 –I had eggs, bacon, hashed brown potatoes, strawberries, pancakes, French toast, chicken, mashed potatoes, I left all the nutritious food alone, I guess. I decided to travel further down and perhaps stay at Strasburg or New Market, but pushed on south to Harrisonburg. I needed to stay at a town that had a "local call access" to dial up the local AOL access phone number for my internet connection.
This blog is a reprint of my internet journal from 2001 to 2002 in which I documented my "vagabond" solo journey in a Chevy Conversion Van tracing my roots. I not only traced their paths and found their homes and final resting places, but I did extensive genealogical research in court houses, libraries, historical societies, genealogical societies, cemeteries, and talked to the local people. I traveled with a laptop to upload my notes and photos, and use e-mail. It was a fantastic journey which lasted two years. I had no other home except my van to sleep in...just a bed and video player. My household goods were put into storage for two years. My mail was delivered to me at general delivery when I phoned "MailBox, etc." and told them where to send it. At night I stayed in campgrounds, motels, friends' backyards, friends' homes, and those of the few living relations I've tracked down. As I traveled I collected so much genealogy information, that I had to get rid of items that I had originally thought essential to my travels (like a microwave oven). Between ancestral sites, I visited any tourist sites I could find and got to know alot about the USA. This was a trip of a lifetime and I'm still sorting through all the wonderful memories, photos and invaluable genealogical data I found. I will post to this blog as I can - one or a few days at a time of that journey from 2001 to 2002

Fiat has shown its Italian pride in previous advertisements, and its latest video has some fun with the brand's Italiano roots. Titled "Backseat Italians," the clip shows what it would be like if every 2014 Fiat 500L came with an Italian family for the rear seats.
Because the video's runtime of more than three minutes makes it a bit clunky for TV, Fiat posted it to exclusive video website Funny or Die. The clip starts with a couple shopping for a Fiat 500L. Just as the two potential Fiat customers are about to pull the trigger, the husband asks about the family occupying the backseat. The couple is apparently sold on the five-door hatchback after learning that every 500L comes with an authentic Italian family.
The couple is then shown driving around performing everyday tasks, all while the three well-dressed Italians are planted permanently in the rear seats. When they're not arguing in Italian, the three family members give directions, offer to pay for parking in Euros, and celebrate soccer goals all from the comfort of the 500L's second row. After a week of exposure, the couple starts speaking Italian and the family is disturbed by how much their culture has rubbed off on them. The family escapes the 500L, with the son leaving a steamy goodbye note for the wife. Check out the full video below to see what it says.

Many of us do that, even if the meeting is in a 'Non-Tropical' Location. The dress is optional, so feel free to wear your usual bow-tie and tank-top. If you have one, feel free to don the uniform for the dinner meeting.

Scientific Review of the Proposed Risk Assessment Bulletin from the Office of Management and Budget (January 2007)Report in Brief
Risk assessments are often used by the federal government to estimate the risk the public may face from such things as exposure to a chemical or the potential failure of an engineered structure, and they underlie many regulatory decisions. Last January, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a draft bulletin for all federal agencies, which included a new definition of risk assessment and proposed standards aimed at improving federal risk assessments. This National Research Council report, written at the request of OMB, evaluates the draft bulletin and supports its overall goals of improving the quality of risk assessments. However, the report concludes that the draft bulletin is "fundamentally flawed" from a scientific and technical standpoint and should be withdrawn. Problems include an overly broad definition of risk assessment in conflict with long-established concepts and practices, and an overly narrow definition of adverse health effects -- one that considers only clinically apparent effects to be adverse, ignoring other biological changes that could lead to health effects. The report also criticizes the draft bulletin for focusing mainly on human health risk assessments while neglecting assessments of technology and engineered structures.

Book Reviews
SLOAN, LAURENCE C., Managing
Editor, Standard Statistics Company,
Corporation Profits. (Harper & Brothers,
New York, 1929. 365 p. Price $3.50).
This reviewer confesses to having tucked
away, for the purpose of future study, and
never to have studied them, the series of
bulletins entitled, "Beneath the Surface of
Corporation Profits," upon which Mr.
Sloan's book is based. This reviewer confesses
also to representing himself as a
certified public accountant. In reading
Mr. Sloan's book, for the purpose of reviewing
it, he pleads guilty to having been
annoyed by the premise set forth in chapter
1, paragraph 2, to-wit: "It is about
accounting, but is not a book on accounting.
It examines the results of accounting:
takes up the work of the professional accountant
where he himself leaves off, seeks
to determine the meaning of what his
figures report, so far as possible, and seeks
likewise to differentiate between meaning
and confusion."
Obviously, there must be some misunderstanding
with respect to the function
of the professional accountant if the presumption
exists that his work has been
finished when he compiles and presents
certain financial statements. Year in and
year out, for many years, educators have
been preaching the doctrine that the professional
accountant must interpret as
well as exhibit the results of his work.
These exhortations have had their effect,
and the facts are that there has been a
marked increase in the amount and quality
of interpretation introduced into the reports
of certified public accountants. However,
so far as the public is concerned, this
condition is not apparent. In the case of
corporations, the public sees only the reports
made by officers of the corporation,
included in which, usually, are the financial
statements supported by the approval of
certified public accountants. Whatever
there may be of interpretation or comment
appears to be that of company officials.
Mr. Sloan, perhaps, has based the conclusions
stated in his premise on the examination
of published reports, and is not
aware of the voluminous comments which
are included in the confidential reports of
the accountants to the corporations.
Now, that we have settled our score with
the author, we may turn, with friendly interest,
to a consideration of his book, which
is, indeed, a contribution of value to accountants
as well as to investors, corporation
officials, and bankers. The book
affords what might be termed a bird's-eye
view of financial condition and results of
operations of American industries. It

Guinea PigDetails https://www.petsmart.ca/small-pet/live-small-pets/hamsters-guinea-pigs-and-more/guinea-pig-4051136.html
1. Select SizePlease select a variation value to continue
Available only at select locationsnot available for online purchase. please check availability at other stores.
product highlights
- Social, but shy at first
- Ideal for children 8 & up
- Will enjoy a cage mate
- Needs a vitamin C supplement
- Lives 5-8 years
These gentle, social companion pets will enjoy the companionship of another guinea pig (if you have two, house only same gender pairs), as well as interaction with their Pet Parents. Although shy at first, they will develop intense affection for their Pet Parents and may whistle to signal their happiness. Guinea pigs are diurnal, so they are most active during the day and will sleep about 4-6 hours per night.
Things to remember
Lifting & handling
Handle your guinea pig gently. Place one hand under her shoulders with your thumb over and around the neck, use your other hand to support under her back end, and hold firmly but not tightly.
Vitamin C
Guinea pigs cannot store or manufacture vitamin C, so you'll need to add a supplement to her water daily.
Special needs
Your guinea pig's front teeth never stop growing -- so she needs lots of healthy things to chew on like treat sticks and chews.
Choose a fortified diet made especially for guinea pigs.
Your guinea pig needs a well-ventilated home with a solid floor, large enough for a food dish, water bottle and a hiding area (if one isn't built in). There should be plenty of room for all cage accessories, and for her to move around freely.

LONDON — Productions from London's National Theater reached 2.3 million people worldwide in a boffo 2011-2012 season.
Under a.d. Nicholas Hytner, attendances at the NT's three-stage South Bank home averaged 92% across 23 productions including 12 world premieres. The West End transfer of "War Horse" at the New London Theater played to 99% capacity.
That led to a record income of £80 million ($129 million), more than double that of ten years ago. Fifty-six percent of that figure was box office receipts at its home and on tour in the West End and internationally, while 23% was government funding via Arts Council England. The high income figure was achieved despite the legit stronghold's policy of low ticket prices in order to increase access. Some 87,000 people bought £12 ($19) tickets for plays sponsored by Travelex; the most expensive shows in the current rep at its home venue have a top of £47 ($86).
From revivals to world premieres, the NT gave 1,746 perfs in London, employing 526 actors and musicians. "One Man, Two Guvnors" played to capacity audiences at the NT's Lyttelton theater, in five UK cities on tour, at the West End's Adelphi Theater and Theatrer Royal Haymarket, and in Gotham where it was seen by a total of 322,000 people during the year. A second UK tour begins this fall, also visiting Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. The show also proved the most successful NT Live broadcast to date, seen by 54,000 people worldwide including 32,000 in the UK.
"War Horse" continues its sell-out West End run into a third year and is now booking until October 2013. Lincoln Center Theater's Broadway production shutters in January, but the title is currently running in Toronto and in a North American road production. Total audiences for the show, which premiered in 2007 have so far reached 2. 4 million people worldwide, with further productions skedded for Australia and Berlin in the coming year, plus a ten-month tour to eight UK cities and Dublin.
Commercial transfers of its productions including "War Horse" and "One Man, Two Guvnors" have generated money that has been designated for the NT Future project, which will see the redevelopment of the theater's home to increase its facilities. The year ended with a surplus of £300,000 ($485,000).

So Cal Women's Boat Driving Clinic

Green House Marine Women's Driving Clinic
Monday May 20th
Lake Elsinore West Marina
Call 951-479-9640
3 Stations at the Clinic
ON LAND: Work in the Parking Lot on backing the trailer, prepping the boat for the water and just a little bit of basic maintenance. (always best to practice with your vehicle)
ON RAMP: Practice how to put the boat on the trailer and how to pull the boat up to the dock.
ON LAKE: Tricks to being a great driver and confident "Captain of the ship" A few tips on teaching beginners, weighting the boat and riding. Also some general safety rules of the Lake!
Dear Ladies,
This is a personal note from me to you. I have been on the water with my husband for over 15 years. I LOVE the time I spend with my family and friends on the boat! It is my favorite way to relax with them. We have two kids that have been on the boat since they were days old. Believe me when I tell you, I have seen it all!
I want to do these women's clinics because I want YOU to feel comfortable, in control and happy when you are on the water. There is nothing worse than starting an amazing family trip and having a spat on the launch ramp! You should not feel like a visitor on your own boat. Not only is it not fun, but it is NOT SAFE! I know that learning from the guys on your own boat is a disaster waiting to happen (sorry boys)!
You need to be able to take control of the boat, your tow vehicle and any situation that arises! We can help with that! It just takes a few instructions and a little practice.
At this clinic you can get that practice, as well as tips from our staff in a low pressure environment. It is on a day when the parking lot and ramp are quiet. That is why we scheduled it on a Monday!

Brian Urlacher's injured left knee may have been a bigger problem for him this offseason than previously believed.
The surgery Urlacher had on Tuesday was either the second or the third knee surgery of the year for Urlacher, according to John Mullin of CSNChicago.com.
Mullin cites two NFL sources as saying that Urlacher had surgery shortly after suffering a knee injury in the regular-season finale on January 1. It had previously been reported that Urlacher had opted for rest and rehabilitation instead of surgery.
And one source told Mullin that Urlacher actually had another procedure in the spring.
Urlacher has been sidelined since the beginning of this month with swelling and soreness in the knee, and he finally had surgery this week. He still says he thinks he can play Week One.

Aron Ra at the Orange County Freethought Alliance.
While attending the OCFA a couple weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure of running into Aron Ra. If any of you follow youtube I'm certain you already know who he is.
He is well-known for his scientific explanations slamming the very idea of intelligent design and creationism utilizing logic, facts, reason, and scientific data that has been compiled since the 1800's to refute such baseless claims.
I personally enjoyed listening to him and have since begun searching through his library of youtube videos and if you haven't yet I highly suggest you do. I'll keep you updated as more people agree to come.

CEO Darell Hammond of KaBOOM! says ?If a parent is out there at a playground, they can grab their Blackberry and ?tweet-pic? a photo of the play space to a non-profit partner,? Hammond says. Hammond is referring to a Twitter feature that enables camera phone users to quickly post photos.
Play is serious business for KaBOOM!, a national non-profit aimed at locating and funding play spaces. The organization has launched a campaign to locate 100,000 play spaces -- playgrounds, skate parks and field complexes -- in 100 days in an effort to ensure there is a play space within walking distance of every child.
Through its online play space locator, KaBOOM! is asking parents, teachers and community leaders to enter and rate their local play spaces. For every play space entered, $1 will be donated to charity in the name of country music singer and two-time ?Dancing With the Stars? winner Julianne Hough. The result will help parents locate the best play spaces in their area and provide an honest analysis to community leaders of whether they have enough quality play spaces, says CEO Darell Hammond.

A story from AP Mobile:
The Sad Saga of the Tsarnaevich …
WASHINGTON (AP) – Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials said Saturday, days after the U.S. government finally received details about the call. In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Rus…
By all means read the full story at The Associated Press. It appears the other shoe has finally dropped. Guess what? According to Russian secret service investigations, the mother and the son, Tamerlan, are jihadis! Ok, I am guessing you already may have surmised as much — another case of, "Thou dost protest too much" on the part of this mother.
Apparently, the Russians were listening and have taped conversations of the mother and son talking about jihad and with other people of interest in another FBI investigation. So @Whitehouse, @Congress, @FBI are you listening? I certainly hope so.
Now for sure if Zuebidat Tsarnaev darkens our shores, she should be arrested for aiding, abetting, and/or providing succor to terrorists, as well as any other outstanding legal crimes she may have committed while she previously resided in the USA.
Even better, Putin and the Russians should save the US time and arrest her if they believe those taped conversations. If the capital charges against her remaining son are proven then she would also be guilty for inciting others to do violence and in this case terroristic acts. At which point the Russians should mete out their famous brand of justice to such a criminal.
Sadly, this is an all too familiar story, of a mother corrupting one or more of her children to commit a heinous crime. When mothers love their children/family more than they hate others, these violent acts will subside. How often have we heard that refrain lately?

It's probably fair to say that the ever-broadening scope of song recitals in Manhattan owes a great deal to the New York Festival of Song. Under the guidance of artistic director Steven Blier and associate artistic director Michael Barrett, NYFOS has, over the years, built an intensely loyal audience with an imaginatively programmed series of concerts that at their best are both pithy and enormous fun. Blier, the series pianist and host, has a real knack for turning the group's performing space — most often Merkin Concert Hall on West Sixty-Seventh Street — into something with an intime nightclub feel. But it's a very in-the-know nightclub: Blier loves the thrill of musical discovery, loves to share his cleverly designed programs with his audience, which responds by hanging on every word of his savvy blend of erudition and plainspoken cool.
On Tuesday, February 19, NYFOS presented a deeply satisfying program of French popular song, Jacques Brel & Charles Trénet: Fire and Fantasy. The ensemble was wonderful — Blier at the keyboard, plus guitarist Greg Utzig (who was sometimes a bit loud, throwing off the balance) and the marvelous accordionist Bill Schimmel. In addition to playing superbly (with no music in front of him all night long), Schimmel looked the part, as if Central Casting had come up with the ideal character actor to play a French accordionist in a Truffaut film. Tenor Philippe Pierce got things off to a stunning start with Brel's ever-accelerating "La Valse à Mille Temps." Pierce has a fine voice and sure rhythmic command, but in some of the evening's more soulful works he came up a bit short, lacking the French "lived-in" quality for a powerful song such as Brel's achingly poignant "Chanson des vieux amants."
In the second half, Brel gave way to Trénet. "Maybe if Irving Berlin and Mary Martin had had a baby they might have come out with Charles Trénet," said Blier, "but I doubt it." Here, Pierce's teammate, mezzo Marie Lenormand, gave what for me was one of the standout individual performances of the season, making magic out of "L'âme des poètes" (I won't soon forget the sublime way she landed on the word "artiste") and the famous "La mer," while showing great comic verve in her big finale with Pierce, "Grand-maman, c'est New York."
At the end, Blier announced that the evening was something of a landmark — the fortieth anniversary of his first public performance.

Stand for Children engages teachers, legislators to improve policy
Stand for Children announced the launch of the inaugural Teachers Improving Policy Summit (TIPS). This initiative will welcome Colorado teachers to learn from national and state experts and work with four Colorado legislators to draft a policy solution to issues facing the public education system.
Starting June 14, TIPS participants will begin discussing two critical issues that affect the quality of public education: school leadership and teacher preparation programs. In August, the group will reconvene to develop recommendations for improving policy in at least one of these areas.
Guest speakers will include Chris Gibbons, founder and CEO of West Denver Prep; Lisle Gates, Ed.D., former principal and current Professional Development Associate at The Leadership and Learning Center; Kristin Klopfenstien, Ph.D., executive director of the Education Innovation Institute at the University of Northern Colorado; and Sandi Jacobs, vice president of the National Center on Teacher Quality. Legislative sponsors include Representative Millie Hamner from HD 56, Senator Michael Johnston from SD 33, Representative Carole Murray from HD 45, and Representative Kevin Priola from HD 30.

The late great singer-songwriter Hank Cochran penned many country hits over the course of a half-century long career in Nashville, including "Make The World Go Away" (for both Ray Price and Eddy Arnold) and "It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad)" (for Merle Haggard), but his most lasting contribution to the country songbook may have been "She's Got You", written specifically for Patsy Cline in 1961 as a follow-up to "I Fall to Pieces", a song Cochran had written in collaboration with Harlan Howard.
According to Mark Bego's I Fall To Pieces: The Music And Life Of Patsy Cline, Cline had trouble completing her December 17, 1961 recording session "because she was so emotionally involved with the lyrics of 'She's Got You' that she kept breaking down and sobbing in the middle of it." Cline reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown the very next day, so it's safe to assume she had some other issues at the time. Nonetheless, "She's Got You" is sad enough one can certainly imagine it bringing a singer to tears.
(clip from SFC CD-4761)
The song has since been covered by Dottie West, Loretta Lynn, and LeeAnn Rimes as well as by a number of male artists, who tended to change the initial pronoun in the interest of heteronormativity. A couple of the more recent variations come from singers more closely associated with British new wave and Mississippi rhythm and blues, respectively. Elvis Costello recorded a version for his 1981 country-themed album Almost Blue (clip from SFC CD-4826):
And Little Milton included "He's Got You" on 2000's Feel It (clip from SFC CD-2520):
