GrabGreen's Fragrance Free Wet Dryer Sheets are great for those with allergies and sensitive skin.
Drying Clothes
Prior to adding everything to the dryer, review the manufacturer's care label of the clothing you are not sure of. Shake out clothes that have been twisted during the wash cycle and place in dryer. Do not overload dryer or over dry clothing; shrinkage is caused by heat from either the washer or dryer. High heat and over drying is hard on clothing and wastes energy. Removing clothing before it's too dry reduces wrinkles and wear & tear making them last longer. If this step isn't efficient enough to avoid wrinkles, shake out and iron right out of the dryer. To save ironing time and energy, immediately iron. The wrinkles haven't set yet and the clothing is easier to iron. Hanging clothes right out of the dryer can eliminate the need to iron them. GrabGreen suggests using an eco-friendly hanger which is made of environmentally friendly paper. Clothing line or hanging rack for tumble-dried clothing is the most gentle method and is best to conserve energy.
Dryer Settings
Select the appropriate setting for your clothing by reviewing the manufacturer's care label. Permanent Press is often a generally a good choice. Adding a GrabGreen Wet Dryer Cloth before drying reduces static cling and adds softness to your clothing.
Lastly, don't forget to dispose of the lint in your dryer. Did you know some people collect dryer lint to create paper?
Frequently Asked Questions:
GrabGreen's Wet Dryer Cloths are made of Spunlace Rayon, isn't Rayon a chemically made material?
No. Different from other grown fibers such as cotton, silk and etc, Rayon is a fiber that's manufactured from Cellulose. Cellulose is frequently extracted from wood pulp or any other plant material. Cellulose is a natural polymer made from natural materials. Rayon is a natural fiber.
Do the GrabGreen Wet Dryer Cloths contain animal fat?
Absolutely not! GrabGreen's dryer cloths use an ingredient derived from Canola oil. And GrabGreen products have excellent anti-static properties.
Less storage space? How do you figure?
GrabGreen's product packaging is 98% less than big heavy liquid detergent jugs and their formulas are highly concentrated so you don't need to use as much…all in all, GrabGreen products are smaller in size and take up less storage space.
What exactly does "naturally-derived ingredients" mean?
It means GrabGreen uses organic and mineral based ingredients – all are derived from nature-based sources.

None. Zero. Nada.
Are any of the ingredients or products tested on animals?
GrabGreen products are completely animal cruel free -- they wouldn't even think of testing their products on animals.
Why are GrabGreen products fragrance free?
Those who suffer from allergies are highly sensitive to fragrances so GrabGreen decided to omit them. You can add your own scents by simply adding a couple of drops of your favorite essential oils.
GrabGreen Story
Before I became a mother, I didn't give much thought to the kinds of cleaning products I used in my home. My laundry detergent left my clothes clean and fresh-smelling, and that was all I really cared about. But after my two daughters came along, I learned about the toxic and irritating chemicals in most commercially available laundry products and I decided that if I couldn't buy the safe products I wanted to use on my children's clothing, I would have to make them myself.
After a lot of research and experimentation, a few major logistical hurdles and delaying the project for a few years, I decided to dive in headfirst and contacted all the organic chemists I could find who might be able to help me. Before long, I was actually doing it – creating a full line of laundry and home cleaning products that were effective and safe for families. It's been a great journey so far, from making homemade detergent in my kitchen to a full line of environmentally friendly cleaning products.
GrabGreen's future is looking great and they plan to continue creating new products that make cleaning safe and convenient. My goal for GrabGreen is to help you have not just a happy home, but a healthy and safe one as well.

Science Behind the Brand

Simplifying Things
GrabGreen puts themselves in their own shoes when it comes to convenience and service, by asking themsekves what things could they offer to simplify laundry chores. Then they asked themselves, what pains do they experience when purchasing eco-friendly and laundry care products…this question had a lot of answers. The most important answer was excellent service. GrabGreen's team is dedicated to helping you make a difference in the health of your family and the earth with simple product choices at home. They know the ingredients of each product, the benefits, why GrabGreen products are safer than other products and have them delivered right to your door.

The Albion Band, also known as The Albion Country Band and The Albion Dance Band, were an English electric folk band, originally brought together and led by musician Ashley Hutchings. Generally considered one of the most important groupings in the genre, it has contained or been associated with a large proportion of major English folk performers in its long and fluid history.

The one constant in the band's history has been the band leader Ashley Hutchings, founding member of arguably the two other pre-eminent English folk rock groupings Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, and it has been the home for most of the projects of his long and highly productive career, though in the 2011 incarnation of the band he has handed over the reins to his son Blair Dunlop.
Initially Hutchings formed the band in April 1971 to accompany his then wife the singer Shirley Collins on her No Roses album. Dave Mattacks, Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol, from Fairport Convention, beside such luminaries as Lal and Mike Waterson of The Watersons and Maddy Prior, were among twenty five credited backing musicians.[1] On a short tour, core members were joined by Richard Thompson and his then wife Linda Thompson. Several members contributed with Hutchings to the project Morris On (1972), including John Kirkpatrick, Richard Thompson and Dave Mattacks, and cumbersomely all their names appeared on the album cover.
First album (1973)[edit]
Hutchings was keen to make a permanent band from these musicians and the first attempt included Royston Wood, Steve Ashley and Sue Draheim in the line-up, but the group failed to gel and he recruited a second band, turning to Martin Carthy, John Kirkpatrick, Sue Harris, Roger Swallow and Simon Nicol. The band remained fragile and split in August 1973, but an album was released retrospectively under the title Battle of the Field, on Island Records in 1976.[2] Other material recorded by this line-up eventually appeared on the later BBC Sessions CD (1998).
The Albion Dance Band[edit]
From 1974 to 1976, Hutchings abandoned the Albion name and focused on forming the Etchingham Steam Band with his wife Shirley Collins. However, in 1977 he pulled together a new Albion Band, this time with the aim of playing traditional dance music. It had a huge and unstable membership that included Simon Nicol, Graeme Taylor from Gryphon, the early musicians Phil Pickett and John Sothcott, fiddle player Ric Sanders, plus John Tams, one of folk music's most distinctive and highly regarded vocalists. The immediate result was a lively traditional based album The Prospect Before Us under the name The Albion Dance Band. In 1978 they shortened the name to The Albion Band (which has remained the basis of the group's identity since) and released, under Tams' direction, what is usually considered the finest album in the long history of the band Rise Up Like the Sun (1978).[3]
The band took part in a 1977 TV show Here We Come A-Wasseling and in 1978-9 collaborated with playwright Keith Dewhurst for a stage adaption of British author Flora Thompson's Lark Rise to Candleford, tracks from which were released as an album in 1980.[4] The band was probably at the height of its mainstream profile at this point, getting its own BBC Arena documentary that explored their work.[5] While Hutchings was more interested in pursuing theatrical possibilities, many members of the band wanted to be a touring and recording band and, despite critical acclaim, this line-up split. Tams, Taylor and Gregory went on to form the nucleus of Home Service.[6] Live material from this period has been released in Songs from the Shows (1997 and 1999) and The Guvnor, Vols 1-4 (1996–2004).
Reformation and stability (1980-90)[edit]
Hutchings reformed the band around the nucleus of the remaining ex-Fairporters Nicol and Mattacks. He added three members of Cock and Bull (Dave Whetstone, Jean-Pierre Rasle and John Maxwell) and for the first time on record, opted for a lead female vocalist in Cathy Lesurf of the Oyster Band, whose tones characterize most recordings from this era.[7] Probably the best album of this relatively stable period was Light Shining (1983), on which most of the tracks were original material. Shuffle Off (1983) followed, after which Nicol and Mattacks left to reform Fairport Convention. Phil Beer on guitar/fiddle/vocals and Trevor Foster on drums joined the band, and Under the Rose (1984), A Christmas Present From The Albion Band (1985) and The Wild Side of Town (1987) followed, the last of which was based on a five-part BBC television series presented by Chris Baines. The line-up then shifted with Martin Bell joining on violin before the release of Stella Maris in (1987). Martin Bell and Cathy Lesurf then left and the group were joined by Simon Care and John Shepherd. This was the most stable lineup in the band's history in terms of albums, producing three: I Got New Shoes (1988), Give Me a Saddle and I'll Trade you a Car (1989) and 1990 in the year of that name.
Acoustic period (1990-7)[edit]
In 1990 they were joined by singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Julie Matthews, but although they toured they produced no albums before her departure in 1993. Some sessions from this line-up surfaced as Captured in 1995. Trevor Foster and Phil Beer left and were temporarily replaced by virtuoso acoustic guitarist Keith Hinchliffe shifting the emphasis away from electric instruments. In 1993 Hutchins decided to follow this trend turning the band into a small four piece unit comprising himself, Julie Matthews' replacement Chris While, original member Simon Nicol, and Ashley Reed on violin. This allowed them to play small folk club, pub and college venues and gave the Band a whole new direction, now drawing on contemporary songwriters like Beth Nielsen Chapman and Steve Knightley as well as the internal song-writing talent of While and Hutchings. The first studio album of this period Acousticity (1993) had a more lively and contemporary feel, aided by Reed's energetic playing. In 1995 Reed left and Matthews returned to the band to add her vocal, instrumental and considerable songwriting talents. The resulting album, Albion Heart (1995), is usually considered the best of this later period and marked the beginning of While and Matthews' long and productive partnership. It was also unusual for the lack of traditional folk instruments and the four were soon joined by violinist and mandolin player Chris Leslie for the last recording of this era Demi Paradise (1996), before Leslie left for Fairport Convention and While and Matthews for solo and joint projects.[8] Live performances of this era have been released as Acousticity on Tour (2004) and Albion Heart on Tour (2004).
Multi-generational phase (1997-2002)[edit]
The last phase of the full band would be based around a return to a more traditional rock format and the incorporation of two generations of musicians. Hutchings called in experienced guitarist and writer Ken Nicol and added newcomers Joe Broughton on fiddle and Neil Marshall on drums. Female vocals were supplied by Kellie While and Gillie Nicholls, who were guests on the first studio album of this era, Happy Accident (1998). Gillie Nicolls was a full member of the band for the second outing Before Us Stands Yesterday (1999), but was then replaced by Kellie While for the recording of The Christmas Album later that year and for Road Movies (2001), their last studio project. Ken Nicol left to be replaced by Pete Zorn, but it was becoming increasingly hard to find venues of a suitable size and in 2002 it was decided to suspend the band.[9]
Their 1999 album Ridgeriders also saw them reunite with former members of the band.
Albion Christmas[edit]
While Hutchings continued to pursue other projects he revived the Albion Band in an acoustic format for seasonal tours in 2005, allowing them to play smaller venues which could usually be easily filled. The line-up is based around Simon Nicol, Kellie While and multi-instrumentalist Simon Care.[10] The results have been three further seasonal albums: An Albion Christmas (2005), Winter Songs (2006), and Snow on Snow (2008).
The Albion Band reborn[edit]
In July 2011, Hutchings announced that the Albion Band would be forming again, and for the first time he himself would not be a member. Instead he passed the baton to his son - the guitarist and singer Blair Dunlop. This new line up also features a number of other current folk performers from a range of backgrounds reflecting earlier versions of the Albion Band. These members include Folk Award nominee Katriona Gilmore (Tiny Tin Lady, Gilmore/Roberts) on fiddle and vocals, vocalist, concertina player and guitarist Gavin Davenport (Crucible, Glorystrokes, Hekety), drummer Tom Wright (Eliza Carthy projects/Glorystrokes), and Tim Yates (Blackbeard's Tea Party/The QP) on bass - only the second bass player in the band's history, and lead guitarist and relative newcomer Benjamin Trott. This line up released an own label EP Fighting Room in 2011 and their first studio album Vice of the People in 2012.
On 10 January 2014, Dunlop announced the friendly dissolution of the band "in the current incarnation", to allow its members to pursue individual projects.[11] In his letter, he does state that they will undoubtedly work together in the future.

The tattoo on Zach Fisher's left arm tells all. "One family," it reads — a nod to the synergy he feels with his brethren on Towson's unsinkable baseball team.
"Me and couple of other guys got the tattoo in December, when the program was on the ropes," said Fisher, the Tigers' third baseman. "If baseball got cut [by school funding], I wanted something to remember these guys by."
Sure enough, in March, Towson baseball got axed. Then the state stepped in to save the program. Then, last week, led by Fisher's hot bat, the upstart Tigers (29-28) won the Colonial Athletic Association tournament to reach the NCAA regionals. On Friday, Towson plays Florida Atlantic at 1 p.m. in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Though barely 5-feet-9, Fisher — the Tigers' leadoff hitter — has muscled up in the playoffs, hitting .476 with three home runs, including a grand slam, and 10 RBIs to earn the Outstanding Player award in the CAA tourney. Can he keep it up?
"There's no reason why not," coach Mike Gottlieb said. "Reggie [Jackson] was Mr. October; Zach is Mr. May."
Fisher's average has soared 23 points in the postseason, to .322. The homers were his first of the year. He has a glib answer for that.
"Why waste it in the regular season when you don't need it?" he said.
Few have toiled harder, on and off the field, to keep Towson baseball afloat than Fisher, from Perry Hall. An economics major and an academic All-American, he demanded answers last October when Towson officials recommended that baseball be dropped.
"The day we learned we were on the chopping block, I emailed the president [Maravene Loeschke] and asked to see her," he said. "I thought if someone could explain, in detail, why this was happening, then I would rest a little easier."
The son of a funeral director, he wasn't about to stand idly by while Towson baseball breathed its last.
For days, Fisher did his homework, crunching numbers and comparing Towson with other institutions that have baseball. Armed with pages of data and spreadsheets in a folder several inches thick, Fisher and a teammate, Cody Reeves, met with Loeschke and presented their case to keep the team.
"She said, 'It makes sense to me, what you have here, but I'm going to call in an expert and I promise to get this figured out,'" Fisher said. "I left there feeling great, like, oh man, she's the best. I was in — hook, line and sinker."
Then he met with the university's task force and did the same.
"Fish is good with numbers, and he handles himself well," catcher Andrew Parker said. "He's very responsible and was definitely the right guy for this. I don't think he's ever been in trouble, over anything, in his life."
He never sought the spotlight, said Fisher, 21, a graduate student with a 4.0 grade-point average.
"I didn't set out to be a spokesman," said Fisher, who still has a year of eligibility after transferring from Maryland. "But I didn't leave College Park, and sit out a year here, only to have this program cut."
As a freshman, he caught for the Terps, batted .243 and sparked them to a 10-5 victory over Towson — a win that snapped a nine-game losing streak for Maryland.
"Fish did a good job for us," said Bernie Walter, then director of baseball operations for Maryland. "But he wasn't going to play on a regular basis. Going to Towson was a terrific move. He helped galvanize the team and created the monster that's going to the regionals."
Fisher serves as a conduit between players and staff, Gottlieb said.
"When I want to gauge the mood of the team, I'lll go to him, because I know that a certain level of maturity will go into his answer," the Tigers' coach said.

Costa Romantica Cruise Ship, Costa Cruises
Traveller reviews
"just got back from the most exasperating cruise i have ever been on,
the good bits:-
lovely room,
evening food good
Philippine and indian staff lovely
lots of beds and no bed reserving_ a new experience for me!!!
the awful bits,
complete cock up with payment details, they provided the wrong bacs details and it took 4 weeks to resolve!! (should have smelt a rat then)
claustrophobic ship, dark below no window, felt cramped and unpleasant,
embarkation was a complete shambles, took hours
only 4hours at each port to try to force you to use the extortionate ship excursions, 2 posts were very isolated.
independent travel at the post was was virtually impossible
drinks very expensive plus 15 % !!!
disembarkation was also very poor, the staff provided no help loading bags, the bus driver looked bored and just dumped everyone at terminal 3 of airport without any explanation that this may not be your terminal,
noisy all the time, smokey in most of the bar areas and virtually nothing to do during the day at sea or evening unless you like bingo.
The buffet restaurant was a virtual scrum area, closed in the evening , coffee not offered with evening meal, 2 coffees six euros, (non smoking areas a joke)
tips are 49 euros compulsory each, result: apathetic staff
i went to none of the evening entertainments but all were described as awful by others
muster was a very poor affair
no privacy in male changing rooms after sauna, pool attendant left door open!! not a pretty sight.
spoke to some serial costa cruisers who said the larger ships were much better, this ship is about to go for refurbish, staff need to be properly educated as well changing the name to neu romantica equivalent to windscale being renamed to sellafield.
I would have grave reservations about costa again. I went as i did not believe the summaries , i should have listened."

"ALL ENGLISH TOURISTS - DO NOT BOOK THIS CRUISE OR THIS SHIP!!! I would hate for any Brit to be taken in by this shameful company in the future. I am not exagerrating, this was a holiday from hell and such a shame because we had chosen this cruise for the destinations and to celebrate our 60th birthdays. Complete rip off - I think they saw us Brits coming!!! Very poor entertainment - more like a Euro Trash version of Play School. Very high drinks prices with a ridiculous service charge (and this is in addition to the cost of the tips which are added automatically to your on-board spend at the end of the cruise). We have previously cruised with P&O, Royal Caribbean, Ocean Village and Thomson, all of these companies blow Costa out of the water. Dining options were poor - our experience in the buffet was more like going to a football match. The evening dining restaurant was a bad experience in that on some occasions the food was not hot or properly cooked. We didn't have long enough in Mauritius as they changed the schedule at the last minute. Mainland Madagascar was awful and in our opinion should not have been included in the intinery. This is the first time I have been on holiday and wanted to come home after day 2!! Felt trapped with nowhere to go to improve things. Did not feel welcome on board. After a 24 hour journey our welcome consisted of being bombarded with invitations to take out a drinks package - this was after an horrific de-hydrating flight with Air France (will never fly with them again - would actually chose Ryan Air and that says something). We did complain (in a nice way) to the English speaking representative but his constant response was "only Costa do this itinery" which didn't address our issues at all. Mainly Italians and French on board and if this is how they like their holidays then we won't be going to Italy or France again either. Blocked Toilets, Smell of Sewerage, no Nescafe coffee only an urn with bitter tasting coffee, too many days at sea with lack of enterainment and a 15% service charge on all drinks, very dated interior and very dated music (mainly Italian), told we could not use our travel kettle in the cabin - no hot drink facilities in the cabin, told we could not use our travel hairdryer in the cabin and the dryer supplied in the bathroom was crap, poor organisation, buffet like "charge of the light brigade", HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - do not waste your hard earned money. This is the most expensive cruise we have travelled on and it is definitely the worst ever. PLEASE DON'T DO IT - we are not being unfair to Costa - everything we have stated here is the TRUTH."

"Celebrating my 50th Birthday, 14 of us booked on the Costa Romantica for a holiday of a lifetime to the Far East. What a joke it was certainly one that will stick in our minds but for all the wrong reasons. The ship was a tired old tub and in need of a major refurb.
The Food was very hit and miss, they ran out of teabags, salads,etc etc the butter which was off, the drinks machines were often covered during buffet times,drinks were extortionate to start with then they added 15% on top of that for good measure. the buffet was like a free for all, tables never cleared, the few hand sanitizers they had were often empty, toilets kept blocking,whenever it rained it leaked into buffet,complained on several occasions about our room and the noise that we were subjected to sometimes at 5 and 6 oclock in the morning but fell on deaf ears Michael the English speaking rep was absolutely hopeless
he evaded every question thrown to him which resulted in passengers getting very frustrated.They took us to industrial ports, we were supposed to have 1 tender but we ended up having 4, was looking forward to the beaches of bali but we ended up docking 2 1/2 hours drive away on the other side of the island so couldnt go, anothort weer p docked was at a cement factory which is just what i wanted to see for my 50th, if i would of wanted to visit areas like this i could have saved myself a lot of money and gone to Grimsby Docks for a fraction of the price and much more scenic.The first port we docked at which had sailed 2 full days to reach i dont think had ever seen Westerners before, it was certainly not a holiday area and i was glad to get back onto the boat as i felt very uncomfortable,i could go on and on, the only thing i can salvage from this holiday was that Phuket was lovely. Even at the airport on the way home Costa didnt fail to dismay us, whilst waiting for our cases to arrive as they were taken on a seperate minivan to us we found after a while that they had already arrived and were left in the airport unattended. I asked one of the Costa staff why they had been left unattended as this is a security issue to which he just shrugged his shoulders and walked off .. Very reassuring and profesional .. not !!!! Out of the 14 of us luckily 8 of us had cruised befor and so knew this wasnt typical of cruising but the other 6 have been put off from ever crusing again which is a real shame."

"General condition of ship was poor and lacked any form of luxury with no regard to the passenger's safety or giving what the passenger had paid for.
We used the ships very small tenders making hundreds of passenger's queue down the stairs to gangway and time limited onshore. At times there were over one hundred plus passengers queuing on the stairways waiting to go ashore
We went to cargo ports or lesser ports and used tenders as this was a cheaper option as confirmed by more than one a crew member.
We arrived so late at Kuala Lumper that all trips were cancelled; we were told that the ship had an engine problem yet surprise, surprise we arrived back in Singapore on time. For most of the trip there was little or no air conditioning on board. It would seem that maybe there was no engine problem but just a way to save on fuel costs!
Every night access to the outside decks was barred to us, thus stopping us from getting some fresh air on deck. I would presume that as there was a lack of cleaning and security staff this was the better option for Costa.
There was little planning on trips given the time of arrival at each port to allow us to complete the trip itinerary. Some trips included a trip to the beach on the way back to the ship but what was the point of going to the beach in the dark. Despite having trips curtailed or shortened there was no mention of a refund being paid as one would have expected.
If I had wanted to book a ferry I would have done so, in fact I have been on better ferries.
There was no management of the teams, the young new recruits were working with no leadership what so ever and left to field the flak from the disgruntled passenger's. You had to constantly ask for more cups, milk cutlery etc. There was a distinct lack of staff.
If it rained heavenly water ran through the restaurant roof and at times turned into a stream. Staff and passengers alike were forced to step over it or just walk through it. The coffee machine on deck 11 developed a severe leek a causing a small stream to run past both exits from the dining area.
Staff did eventually put safety barriers up but only after numerous complaints from the passengers.
Two of the Jacuzzi's broke down midway through the cruise, the water was left to become yellow and putrid. This should have been emptied there was a distinct lake of health and safety in both instances.
Once on board drinks packages of coffee, water and soda's was pushed, no need, it was omitted to say free beverages was available. We was told that what was left on our packages could be used on the morning of departure, not true, we had to pay again.
The corridor to the cabin was constantly filled with smell of raw sewage and the toilet continually failed to flush satisfactorily.
The washing water in cabin at times was yellow on drying yourself left the towels yellow.
At busy times especially during happy hours there was only 1 barman and 1 cocktail waitress on duty most times we would have to clear table before we could sit down. This was because the tables had either not been cleared from lunch or afternoon tea. On more than one occasion I ordered a happy hour beer well before happy hour ended one took 35minutes to arrive and as happy hour finished whilst I was waiting I only received one beer and was told that happy hour had finished before my beer was served there was nothing the staff could do about it. Again lack of staff had caused this problem. The beer toward the end of the trip was watered down, due to a fear of beer running out, this was told to us by the barman as he apologised.
Several items that ran out in the first week, should have been replaced on docking, butter served was rank we then went on to margarine this ran out was giving us nothing but dry bread.
Lettuce ran out in the first week, salad was given made up of chopped cabbage so did lemon, lime, mint and normal tea bags. How I ask can you have a Gin and Tonic without a slice of lemon?
The buffet lunch or should say rugby scrum (scrum because everyone grabbed what it could before it ran out as you never knew if or when it would be filled). It had the same look every day, no attention to colour or variety to the menu just name change. In fact my wife told the chef one day that it was dog food and walked out, the next day he saw her and said he was sorry but they was doing their best with not enough food or staff .
On several occasions we sent back courses from our evening meal, presentation was zero, potatoes always raw not al Dante, raw. On our last day the waiter apologised for the poor and quality of food and lack of staff and that they did their best for us this. This was very true and told us we must complain.
We were subjected to several fights amongst passenger's on board and this is not surprising as everyone on board were so frustrated and angry.
Other Italian passenger's came to us and apologised for the poor representation of their country. Costa you must be very proud!!!"

"We were 2 males (one early seventies, the other 90) who had booked a fourteen day round cruise on the Costa Romantica from Singapore calling at six ports. When we booked we emphasised that, although we required just one cabin, it was imperative that we had two single beds. The agent assured us that there was no worry on this point because the double beds comprised 2 singles pushed together which could easily be separated. But, can you believe it, when we boarded we found that we had been allocated a cabin which had a double bed that could not be separated into two; apparently it was one of the very few such set ups in the whole ship. That dreadful muck-up was compounded when we went to the desk to seek some solution and found the Italian staff to be completely unconcerned and uninterested in our predicament. They would not lift a finger to resolve the problem (even though it could surely have been settled by them arranging for another cabin's occupants who were happy to share a double bed and whose beds were capable of separation, to change with us).When we asked what they expected us to do, they didn't know and didn't care. The dilemma was eventually resolved when a passenger, with the approriate bed configuration, volunteered to exchange cabins with us. Even then, the Italian desk manager said that nothing could be done until the next day because they would have to seek approval from Genoa. We stood our ground and the exchange was made but it was a distressing experience. The appalling attitude of the ship's management was almost beyond belief.
As for the trip itself, it was adequate but certainly not outstanding. There were frequenlt long waits to be served at the evening meals which were often lukewarm at best. The only redeeming feature was the quality of the cabin steward who was invariably cheerful and obliging. I would certainly not travel on a Costa ship again and if our experience was a measure of Italian service, I would not travel on any other Italian ship either."

"Having just completed a cruise on the Costa Romantica from Dubai to Muscat, Fujairah, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and back to Dubai I would seriously have to consider whether I would venture on to a Costa ship again. Although the ship was clean and the service staff friendly and considerate, the overall management needs to be re-focused as the day to day management of the ship was not up to standard The self service restaurant has plastic tables, plastic plates and plastic glasses coupled with cold food,. hence the ship should be called Costa Plastica. I also found the ship to be extremely noisy due to the din created by staff extending the access ramps whilst in port coupled with the noise generated by the engines whilst at sea.
Costa Romantica should be avoided.
The places visited were well worth going to except for Fujairah which had little to offer."

"To say that Red Rum was a racehorse or that Stanley Mathews was a footballer is like saying a Costa Cruise is like any other. Just how wrong can you be?
What a wonderful experience this was for us old time cruisers. The Costa Romantica lived up to its name on this Southern Caribbean Cruise. Every question, every request and every hope was filled by Costa's crewmembers, the attention to detail unsurpassed.
Flying out from Charles De Gaulle on Air France the extra legroom was most welcome as was the free glass of Champagne, Guadeloupe our embarkation port, our first glimpse of this ship was from the air, an amazing sight gleaming white against the deep blue sea.
Embarkation was extremely efficient, and although we had privileged boarding by the fact we booked a mini-suite, the rest seemed to be equally as quick. We were soon on board and being led to our cabin by a crew member, and what a cabin, Jacuzzi bath, twin basins, huge bed and a large sitting area with floor to ceiling panoramic windows. Fresh fruit bowl and a bottle of wine are included, mini bar, fridge and room safe, trouser press hair dryer, the full Monty. To top this our own Butler, I could really get used to this life.
The ship is very elegant, beautifully furnished giving the feeling that every one of their customers is special.
The Botticelli Restaurant is out of this world as indeed is the food, a menu to suit any taste from all over the world, the Pasta course cooked in the dining Room to order. Just as a point of interest meals can be served in your room, and we did enjoy having our breakfast there.
On to the ports of call, St Lucia, Antigua, St Maarten, Tortola, Catalina Island the last being a private island were only Costa ships were allowed to anchor, a must is the BBQ on the beach (free) and great snorkelling, after a short ships tour in Tortola, we spent a few hours at Cane Garden Bay, well worth a visit. Antigua we had already been to having spent a week there, but did you know they have over 325 beaches there it could take best part of a year to visit every one of those.
So to sum up this Costa Cruise, outstanding, suburb, exciting, entertaining, cultural, Italian hospitality at its best, are after all only words, but sum up one of the best cruises we have ever taken. If this is cruising Italian style book me on the next available ship."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A change in the way Wisconsin's chief justice is picked will get its first vote in the state Senate Tuesday.
Republicans are supporting a constitutional amendment to require the seven Supreme Court justices to elect a chief every two years, thus ending the 124-year-old practice of having the justice with the longest seniority serve as the chief.
The seven-member court now has a conservative majority of four members.
Critics of the amendment say the GOP is trying to remove liberal Shirley Abrahamson from a post she's held since 1996.
One of the amendment's sponsors, Assembly Republican Rob Hutton of Brookfield, denies such motivation. He said it would reduce political differences on the state's highest court -- and it would encourage the justices to collaborate more.
The chief justice does not have overriding veto power in deciding which cases the Supreme Court considers and when. The chief is the administrative head of the state court system, and is normally the public face of the Supreme Court.
Action by both houses was expected this week on the proposed amendment.
It would have to pass again in the next session, and then the voters would have to ratify it in a statewide referendum. The earliest it could take effect is in 2015.

Comments about Line 6 EX-1 Expression Pedal:
I was so happy with the first one of these I bought, I had to pickup another to get the full use of my Line 6 M13 pedal board.
At first, I was hesitant to purchase this item as every negative comment I found related to the Ex-1 was about the plastic body. I'd rather have had a metal casing, but for the price, you can't beat it. The body is much thicker plastic than I thought it would be, and as long as you're not jumping on the thing, it will probably hold up as necessary. I'm 6' tall and 230lbs; the pedal has no problem working with me.
One other downside might be the short attachment cable that comes with the pedal. It's only about 2' long and it works for me, but I'd rather have had a 3' cable.
As for functionality, I can't say much as it is simply an expression pedal and does exactly what it's supposed to.

This is my finished submission for this years glorious event, hope you can get a kick out of it ya'all.

Just about the most refreshing thing I've seen.
I created an account for the sole purpose of telling you what I think about this submission.
This was simply the most refreshing flash I've seen in a long time. Not that I have anything against extreme gore, violence, and all that... But this was -- again -- just so refreshing. There's no other word for it.
Your style reminds me of those wacky-trippy 70's cartoons. Awesome.
Carefree, mischievous, good-natured fun. I love it.
Good job. This is officially my favorite Pico submission.

Fuck the flashback seriously ;P

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Spokane Police Department said it plans to ramp up patrols at several huge events in the wake of two shootings in five days Downtown.
Police officials said they want to assure the public that shootings like the one at the Lion's Lair pub Thursday are isolated incidents. Authorities said the numbers show things are actually getting safer in the heart of the city.

Robert Hetnar, the owner of Spokane Dogs, said he's not just a hot dog vendor, he's a watchman of sorts for the businesses on his corner at Howard and Spokane Falls Blvd.
Hetnar moved Spokane Dogs Downtown last August. He said there are more problems with the homeless, street kids bugging people, and others who are just hanging out than real violent crime.
"There is no huge crime issue in terms of violence," said Hetnar. Annoyance, perhaps, but that's in any city anywhere."
Spokane Police began ramping up patrols to eight cars in Downtown Spokane last October. They also began checking in with businesses more and increased their bike patrol.

SPD said the extra patrols resulted in a 35 percent decrease in assaults Downtown.
Over the next month, police also planned to increase their weekend bar patrols and officer foot patrols, and have even more bicycle cops on the street.
"We are gearing up operationally for a lot of the events that are coming up," said SPD Capt. Judi Carl. "We have Cinco de Mayo coming up, we have Lilac week, we have Bloomsday and Memorial Day weekend - and obviously, we want this to be a safe place."
For Rob Hetnar, a decrease in crime means an increase in business.
"Compared to any place that I've been in the world, this is probably the safest city I've ever been in," said Hetnar.
Hetnar added he believes what helps the most are foot patrols.

Lewiston, ME – The Portland Pirates will host the Providence Bruins for the final time this regular season at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston tonight. Puck drops at 7 for the 2nd annual Purple Night presented by Central Maine Medical Center. The Pirates and Bruins have played 6 times this season, with Portland holding a 4-1-0-1 advantage in the season series.
As part of the second annual Purple Night, The Pirates will donate all proceeds from their 50/50 raffle tonight to the Central Maine Comprehensive Cancer Center to support the center's work in providing care for the region's cancer patients. In addition, a Pirates practice jersey signed by movie and television star Patrick Dempsey will be raffled off, with all proceeds benefitting the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing's Maine Fund for Cancer Patients, which helps fund the immediate needs of patients experiencing hardships while undergoing cancer treatment. The Pirates' special purple jerseys will be auctioned off on eBay at a later date, with 75% of the proceeds going to Central Maine Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Pirates forward Brendan Shinnimin has pledged to donate $10 for every Pirates shot and $25 for every Pirates goal to Central Maine Comprehensive Cancer Center , with Pirates ownership, Shamrock Sports and Entertainment, and On Target Utility Services to make a matching donation. The Pirates encourage their corporate partners and local businesses to match Shinnimin's donation, with a total to be announced after Friday's game. For more information on Shinnimin's donation, visit portlandpirates.com.
The Pirates dropped a 5-3 decision to the Worcester Sharks on Wednesday. Lucas Lessio, Andy Miele, and James Melindy were the goal scorers for Portland, while Louis Domingue and Chris Rawlings combined for 35 saves. Lessio's goal extended his scoring streak to 4 games, while Miele's tally gave the Pirates a 4 game streak with a power play goal.
Providence has won their last two games, each by a 2-1 score, with their last game coming Wednesday against the Wilkes-Bare/Scranton Penguins. Craig Cunningham and Ryan Spooner scored for the Bruins, while Malcolm Subban made 31 saves for the win. Providence sits in 7th place in the Eastern Conference with 79 points, with a magic number of 16 to clinch a Calder Cup Playoff spot.
This is the first meeting between the Bruins and Pirates since December 21st, 2013 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Mark Visentin made 45 saves in the victory while James Melindy and Andy Miele scored in regulation and Brandon Yip score the game winner in the shootout to lead Portland to a 3-2 victory. Brandon McMillan and Daine Todd also scored in the shootout, while Visentin made 3 saves on 5 shootout attempts.
KeyBank Key to the Game
Fire Away: The Pirates have had success outshooting their opponents this season, but today's game makes getting shots on goal ever more important. Not only will a high shot total give the Pirates an advantage with scoring, but it will increase the donation amount from Brendan Shinnimin and his matching donors. Look for the Pirates offense to press hard to clear shooting lanes in order to get the maximum number of shots on goal.
Tonight's game can be heard on the Pirates flagship stations WPEI 95.5/95.9 FM as well as WEZR FM 105.5/AM 1240 in the Lewiston/Auburn area and WTME AM 780/1450 in Oxford County. The game can also be heard online at portlandpirates.com by clicking "Listen Live" and can be seen live on AHL Live at ahllive.com. The pregame show starts at 6:40 with Jeff Mannix.
Tickets for tonight's game are available by calling the Androscoggin Bank Colisee box office at (207) 783-2009 ext. 525 or online at thecolisee.com.

BiKN Leashes Your Kids And Finds The Things You Never Want To Loseby Amber Leventry
As a parent, I want my kids to have some freedom to explore their environment, but they are little and I also want to be able to see them while they roam. I don't want to hover, but I need visual confirmation that they are safe and nearby. If you've ever been at a busy park or a crowded store and lost sight of your young child, you know the panicky and heart pounding sensation of worry. BiKN (pronounced bee'-kin) takes away some of the worry by allowing you to electronically leash, page, and find the things you never want to lose. Like your kids.
Manicured Lawns On Manicured Nails: A New Kind Of Nail Artby Alicia Zuberbier

What is the primary role of the museum in the modern world?
Museums have many roles, responsibilities and functions, some of which arose with the origin of western museums hundreds of years ago, others very new. This is a major debate in the field of Museum Studies as well as other associated fields. Some historical roles have included the museum as a place for academic research, as an educational institution, or both. Most museums continue to perform in this role. More recently the museum has been championed as a place of social interaction, a center for social justice and even a space for experimentation, invention and innovation where visitors can learn how to get involved. What do you think the museum does?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 15 2012: I realize that it will help this discussion if I explain a little bit about myself. I am an emerging museum professional, so I admit that this is a very important subject to me, however, I always try my best not to let my own bias scew the way I see the world. I have completed a Masters in Museum Studies at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester. I am interested in all museum functions, however, my primary interests are in interpretation, curating and collections management, education (primarily informal, but also in more formal forms) and to a lesser extent the museum as a site of social justice. My Masters Adviser, Dr. Richard Sandell is a champion of the museum as a social institution. While I admire his work and support it, I have differences in opinion of exactly what social functions museums can and should perform. Hope this helps.

KENNEWICK, Wash.- When it comes to hydros, everyone wants to get as close to the action as possible. Some lucky kids from the Boys and Girls Club in Pasco were rewarded for their kindness.
They were chosen for doing good deeds within their organization. On Friday, thanks to Kadlec Regional Medical Center they got to meet some hydro heroes; some of the pro racers that will be showing off their tricks and talents on the river this weekend.
"We love sponsoring the race for kids," said Delt Clark, from Kadlec Community Relations. "It gives the Boys and Girls Club an opportunity to bring some kids down here that may never have seen the hydros up close. They get to meet the drivers. It's a great community event for us to sponsor."
The kids get to keep their t-shirts and get them signed by all the drivers they meet this weekend.

Outside the Oxbow Gallery rests an odd contraption. A steam kettle sits on a hot plate. From its spout, a piece of garden hose exits. The hose then enters a long rectangular box made of cut-up insulation of some sort. Here and there, a bit of steam leaks out.
It's clear that this isn't a landscape show. It's not at all clear what's happening inside the box until artist Samuel Rowlett comes over to explain. He's steaming wood to bend for the canoe he's making inside. If that were all he was doing, you might think the Oxbow had been taken over by a half-baked (or half-steamed) performance artist.
Enter the Gallery, however, and it seems the place has been transformed into something between a workshop and an exhibition. The effect is strange: a blank canvas with notches in the top holds books. This is clearly "a piece." So is the giant canvas with a backpack attached for carrying. But tools? Probably not "a piece." A video of Rowlett carting the backpack-canvas through the wilderness plays in the corner.
"Sometimes the wind would catch it," says Rowlett, "and I'd go down face first."
When he speaks—and Rowlett is quite animated and articulate—you might eventually catch a hint of pronunciation from other shores. It's only a hint, though—he was born in England, but seems to have absorbed plenty of American speech patterns.
Rowlett didn't start out with heady concepts like carting canvases through the woods; his training was in representational art, and he describes a long-term grind of rendering figures. His work, he explains, largely took place within the usual bounds of a canvas. Then he became a father, and his newfound time constraints demanded a new economy in his work. That led him to wall drawings.
"No more huge canvas," he says. "You just show up with your stuff and draw on the wall."
From there, he branched out to a peculiar brand of art, one which involves and includes a much larger environment than just a studio or gallery; his current project culminates in large-scale wandering with his canoe.
It might be tempting to ask if all this is art, but the best policy by far is to forget that question. Why worry over corraling things into artificial definitions when you could instead be enjoying the incarnations of a particularly interesting imagination?
Rowlett is exploring in many ways. The Oxbow Gallery holds toolboxes, plans, drawings, paintings, video, and even a stack of wood beneath the half-finished canoe. It's become something more like a studio, as if he threw open the doors well in advance of a traditional show. "I'm interested in extending my work out of the studio," says Rowlett. "I want to link the exploration of studio process and our local environment."
That's why he's taking the new canoe down the Connecticut. He's porting at the Holyoke dam, even camping in an alley, en route to another of his exhibitions at Real Art Ways in Hartford.
You've got to admire an artist who will, in pursuit of his art, set forth in the first canoe he's ever built.
Rowlett draws a piece out of the steamer to show me how flexible it's become. He bows it over, hard. It looks impressive. Then it snaps with a loud crack.
"Trial and error," he says, unruffled, even smiling.
Abandoned Meanders exhibition: through May 27; gallery talk with Kim Lutz of the Nature Conservancy: May 29, 7 p.m., Oxbow Gallery, 275 Pleasant St., Northampton.
Creating Art out of the box - out of necessity. A well written story that makes the reader consider options that are more sustainable and compatible with our stressed environment. A handmade canoe used to be THE usual mode of transportation hundreds of years ago, now doubles as a focal point in an art exhibit. Good to see the artistry and muse surrounding this artist's views brought to the attention of others in such a creative, non-traditional way.
