In case you missed it, I wrote a story about Georgia's new strength and conditioning program under director Joe Tereshinski, which appeared in the Sunday paper and was uploaded online over the weekend. It made for an interesting challenge since I was unable to talk to Tereshinski for the story. I'd been requesting interviews with him all summer, but he kept respectfully declining through the sports communication office. I actually ran into "Coach T," who I've known for years, at a retail store back in June and we had a nice off-the-record chat about everything. At that time, he said, "just give me until after the Fourth of July and I'll talk." But that came and went and we I never did get a chance to pick his brain. In the meantime, I continued to interview players and coaches and other folks about Joe T and what he was doing with the strength program this summer and I got a lot of feedback. So with the off-season program ending this past Wednesday and preseason camp starting this week, I felt I should go ahead and share what I'd gathered. And the fact is, I'd gathered way more than I was able to share. I just wasn't able to fit it all in. So this morning I'm just going to clean out my notebook on this subject as the Bulldogs turn their attention to the business of getting ready on the football field. Hopefully we'll still get a chance to hear from Coach T between now and the Boise State kickoff. I'll let you know if and when that happens. In the meantime, as Paul Harvey might say, and now for "the rest of the story" . . .
Clearly between Coach T and Mark Richt they wanted more Georgia flavor in the weight room. They hired two full-time assistants and both were recent lettermen and NFL veterans: Former running back Thomas Brown (2004-07) and linebacker Tony Gilbert (2000-02). Former linebacker Kendrell Bell (1999-2000) and fullback Verron Haynes (2000-01) also have been helping out this summer as student assistants. Brown, as most Georgia fans will recall, was pound for pound one of the strongest Bulldogs ever. Still is, as I understand it. Gilbert, too. So not only are they able to tell the players what to do, they can show them in many cases.
Everybody I talked to says don't overlook the decision to bring John Kasay Sr. out of retirement. Kasay, also a letterman (1964-66), has had an almost 50-year association with UGA. And apparently has had and will continue to have a profound effect on these proceedings. While he's only a part-time assistant, word is he is bringing the same fire and intensity he did as a position coach and strength coach in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. I can't wait to find out if he's still wearing the pants and long sleeves jackets in the peak of the summer heat.
Associate director Keith Gray remains on staff, as does assistant Rex Bradberry, who also splits his time as a nutritionist. However, former assistant Clay Walker has moved on. So with the additions of Brown, Gilbert and Kasay and the subtraction of Walker the staff grew by 1 1/2 employees.
While Georgia has made a lot of changes in its strength and conditioning department, it hasn't necessarily thrown a lot of money at it (unless you count the $38 million addition to the Butts-Mehre Complex, which includes training space and equipment). I didn't have a chance to survey other SEC programs but it would appear the Bulldogs' staff came together fairly inexpensively.
Tereshinski signed a one-year contract that expires Dec. 31, 2011, that calls for a $150,000 salary. Nobody else on the current staff makes more than $45,121 and the average salary of the five assistants $36,000 a year. That includes Kasay's salary as a part-time — or 49 percent — employee/retiree.
Athletic director Greg McGarity has also added two full time nutritionists to the payroll. Jen Ketterly comes to Georgia from North Carolina as the director of sports nutrition and Maria Breen has come over from UGA's Family and Consumer Sciences College to help out. They started in early July and will monitor players' diets aswell as educate all student-athletes on eating right
The one constant theme I heard with regard to Tereshinski and the new staff is their "love of Georgia." Numerous players and coaches in various ways separate of each other used that to describe their coaching style.
It has yet to be proven whether it will translate to more success on the football field, but players are liking the results of their run-oriented regimen this summer.
I haven't gotten a chance to visit with former strength and conditioning director Dave Van Halanger since his appointment as "director of player welfare" last December but I hope to soon. In any case, it's not like Georgia didn't know what it was doing under his direction. Van Halanger, a certified "Master of Strength and Conditioning," is the one who coined the phrase "finish the drill" at Georgia. He's a hall of fame strength and conditioning coach who oversaw Florida State's strength program when it was making 14 consecutive Top 5 finishes. He followed Richt to Athens and brought those infamous "mat drills" with him and it was his battle cry of "Finish the Drill" the Bulldogs used during the SEC championship runs of 2002 and 2005. Sometimes, though, change for change sake can be a good thing. We'll all see soon enough.
Players report for preseason camp Tuesday evening, testing is on Wednesday and the first practice is Thursday night. So check back regularly all day every day going forward because multiple updates will be coming. It's football season!

Before Mark Richt got to UGA, I asked a former player and colleague, Jamie Dukes, if Richt would be a good coach for the Dawgs and he replied, "He will if he remembers that the SEC is a strength league, not a finesse league like the ACC. You don't win the SEC by fooling people. You win the SEC by beating people, by going straight at them."
Maybe Mark is coming around to that realization this year.

Must be getting closer to kick off time. All the jerks are out in force and can't wait for a new article with anything about UGA, to spout their pathetic attempt at being witty.
If any of these negative blogger had half an ounce of brains, they would realize that psychological warfare, only works when they person can deliver it in person to a captive audience. Like a prisoner for instance. Interestingly enough, they are the prisoners of their own stupidity, so they are actually the ones being persuaded in their own minds, not the UGA fans. UGA fans have already won, because the prisoners are are already so worried, that they are trying to form barriers and platforms for their defense. In other words, you are gonna get your butt handed to you when UGA plays you, so you have set up your defensive mechanisms ahead of time. Fear is your motivator, not superior skills or intelligence. You fear UGA and are jealous of the players, the team, the coaches, the fans and the great institution it is. I feel sorry sort of in a way, a soldier feels, just before he pulls the trigger, to end the enemies life. It leaves such a mess if you do it right.
I don't think it is right to call these folks Trolls, anymore. I think I will just call them "Prisoners Of UGA". It has a nice ring to it.

Sometimes "Change for change sake can be a good thing". UGA has changed eveything about program, except the real problem, and that would be Richt & BooBoo. Doesn't matter what else they change, until this 2 headed monster leaves, UGA will be mediocre. Every team in the SECE has made changes in the past couple of years with their O.C., and most head coaches except UGA. The results show on the field, and UGA with Richt&BooBoo have a .500 record in the East over that period. Seeing is believing, and RIcht&BooBoo have shown nothing for UGA fans to believe in. The NIGHTMARE in Athens continues, sept.3rd. One other thing, for UGA fans to continue to rave about Murray and trash Brantley, if i'm not mistaken, Brantley beat Murray in their only matchup, and Brantley didn't kill his team with 4 turnovers. Amazing what UGA fans come up with.
August 1st, 2011
9:16 am
Hope you knocked on wood when you wrote that, Gary.
Sorry, just superstitious.
If Richt and Co somehow figure out a way to beat Boise, UGA gets back on the national media "map." We've been off it for a couple years.

Well said, but you have to remember that many folks don't like to face facts when it doesn't suit their arguament. When do they kick-off?
August 1st, 2011

Anyone that knows anything about the game of football knows that strength and conditioning will minimize the injuries. I used to tell my guys when you go half speed you increase your chances of injury.
August 1st, 2011

You want Richt fired now, a week before fall practice starts?
If so, you are an idiot.
If not, why not let's see how the season plays out and stop with your negative nellie nostradamus crap.

August 1st, 2011
9:34 am
Beast don't think the Gators have anything to worry about again this year in Jax. Just heard an interview with Richt and he said "I hope i don't lose my nerve" when it comes to practicing in fullpads, and tackling to the ground. He was once again referring to lack of depth at every position on the team. He even went so far as to say "I'm praying about it, and hope we don't have many injuries". Are u fu—— kidding me. This is what UGA's coach does, he prays, while opposing coaches work and develop the freshmen players they recruited to develop depth. Seems i heard this same excuse back in 2008 when UGA was preseason #1, and now this clown is already setting up the fans for another disaster. When will UGA get enough of this guy, and his puppet BooBoo. And BooBoo is already crying about how unnerving the attrition on O.L and running back have been. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Two peas in a pod.

DawginLex, i don't stoop to your level and call other bloggers names like you always do. You are so immature, and you are a badass behind your keyboard. Just because someone tells the truth about Richt and his terrible record the past 5 years, doesn't mean they should be called names. If you don't agree with someone, bring facts to disagree, but i forgot, you don't know how to do that, you only know how to call people names. You are funny, and i have never done anything but state facts about the terrible state Richt has made the UGA program, that is much more than i can say about you. Bring facts to defend your boy, or just shutup.
August 1st, 2011
9:40 am
Why won't you answer the question?
Or do you get your kicks by griping and moaning?
How do you know Richt is not going to develop the freshmen players for depth? Are you on the dam coaching staff?
God almighty you really need to find another team. This UGA team is going to cause you to stroke out or have a heart attack.
Just go for a drive on game days and don't listen or watch. Your health is more important.
August 1st, 2011
9:42 am
You call a DGD like Mike Bobo "BooBoo" yet you don't call folks names?
Pot meet kettle.
I have not been happy with the last couple of years either but you didn't answer my question hothead.
You want him fired now? Like UNC just did?
answer my question boy or you STFU
August 1st, 2011
9:42 am
To be fair, UF has the same problems with depth on both lines. I'm sure it is scary as heck in practice, hoping no one suffers an injury. You have to start a freshman at either tackle spot on the o-line and it could be a disaster. Said it before and I'll say it again, voth UF and UGA will be battling for 2nd place in the East this year.
August 1st, 2011
9:46 am
1953 says "terrible record the last five years"
2007 we ended up 11-2 and ranked 2nd in the country and we were "terrible"
You are probably one of these "experts" who thinks we should go 14-0 every year just because you say so.
I'm ashamed to say you are supposed to be on our side calling yourself a dawg is a dam disgrace to my university.
August 1st, 2011
9:49 am
I agree with Beast from the East. UGA and UF are not ready to handle USCe this year. They are loaded with talent and they are actually my pick for the MNC. They have the easiest schedule I have ever seen. If Spurrier blows this one he should retire. But I don't think USCe can even blow this one.
August 1st, 2011
9:52 am
1953dawg: I know 2 sec championships is mediocre but give Richt one more year. Yes Bobo is too predictable but somehow we still put up tons of points. If you think Brantley is better than Murray because of the 4 turnovers last year you must either be kidding or only looked at the box score. 2 of them were not his fault and arguably 3. His players didn't help him out in almost every case.

1953dawg: If you remember correctly it took 3…count them 3 UF personnel at the QB position to "beat" Aaron Murray. Last years game was the first time UF brought out 3 QBs in one game. They were desperate and needed some angle on offense to produce. No doubt it worked, but Brantley did not win the game for them. Despite his turnovers, Aaron Murray equaled the production of 3 UF QBs that day.
August 1st, 2011
10:12 am
1953dawg: Your negativity is bothersome. You may choose to go through life the way you are or you can turn the page and let the book unfold itself. Richt see the writing on the wall. He is going to prove you and all the naysayers that he still has it. I am not believing the S. Carolina hype yet. Those guys seem to (you know what) the bed when the pressure is really on. Seriously, you may not believe, there are a lot more TRUE DAWG FANS that believe we have a good thing going now.
August 1st, 2011
10:15 am
Make that one QB, one tight end and one FB playing the position of QB. Let's also not forget the punter that kicked the game winning field goal while your DC was making threatening gestures on national TV.
Does that make it sting any less? LOL!
Sorry, I coudn't resist!
August 1st, 2011
10:26 am
I think it takes a quarter and a half for the offense to get working, then Georgia (coming from behind) burns boise in the second half to win by 3 or 4
August 1st, 2011
10:27 am
I agree w/Insider about USC east to a certain extent but there is no way Garcia will QB that team to a BCS title. Arkansas and alabama are much better than SC and spurrier has to go to Fayettenam where he will get drilled.
UGA has a shot at Sc only because it is at home. I still say we beat BSU and lose to SC.
I also think the S&C program changes are good but will take another year to really make a difference. Plus, with much less than 85 players dressed out, our lack of depth will be an issue. Playing true freshmen in the SEC is typically not good unless it is for special teams.
August 1st, 2011
10:30 am
Beast you might want to remember something here also…Murray did what no UGA QB has done in a long time brought his team back from a 2 score deficient at the half and took the Gators to O.T. as a freshman. Also lets take a look at your HC's recent performance as the defensive genius I keep hearing is his claim to fame and the reason he was picked to be the Gator HC . Last year with his system in place and the players at Texas his recruits, they lost 7 games just like UGA here is where it gets interesting Texas had 6 of their opponents score 28 or more points in 6 of those losses in the 7th loss the opponent scored 24. CTG in his first year lost 2 games where UGA's opponents scored 28 or more points. And Beast last year our weakness was the D. We both have a ton of question marks but we stay healthy and I like our chances vs the Gators this year and it been a while since I could think that..football is here ain't it grand !

Eurozone jobless rate at record highs
Unemployment in some parts of Europe is worse than during the Great Depression. Investors ignore the EU's financial woes at their own peril, say some analysts.
Yes, the economic landscape in the United States is still far from rosy. But if it's any consolation, consider the financially beleaguered eurozone -- the European Union countries that adopted the euro as their currency -- where unemployment hit a record high in March and where, in some countries, the jobless rate is worse than it was in the U.S. during the darkest years of the Great Depression.
Eurostat, the European Union's statistical office, reports the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the 17-nation eurozone was 12.1% in March, up from the previous high of 12% reached just a month earlier. Unemployment for the broader, 27-member European Union stood at 10.9% in March.
The office also reported eurozone inflation at 1.2% in April, down from 1.7% in March.
Among eurozone members, Austria, Germany and Luxembourg had the lowest jobless rates -- at 4.7%, 5.4% and 5.7%, respectively. At the other end of unemployment spectrum were Greece (27.2% in January), Spain (26.7% in March) and Portugal (17.5%).
By way of comparison, the U.S. unemployment rate in 1933, the Depression's low point, stood at 24.9% -- and that figure included workers ages 14 and older. And the nation's unemployment rate in March declined to 7.6% -- with April's jobless data due out on Friday.
Given eurozone inflation is at a three-year low and unemployment is at record highs, some analysts expect the European Central Bank may cut interest rates later this week.
"With inflation weaker than expected, unemployment rising yet again and signs of a longer recession, (a rate cut) would be a confidence boost," Sarah Hewin, a senior economist at Standard Chartered Bank, told Reuters.
ECB officials, however, continue their mantra that the worst of the European debt crisis has passed -- and that results from the region's painful austerity measures, labor reforms, fiscal consolidations and other regulatory attempts to stabilize the eurozone economy should kick in at some point.
"How soon growth will return will depend entirely on how soon Europe, especially the peripheral countries, are able to re-balance their economies," ECB governing council member George Provopoulos recently told Bloomberg. "And we have made good progress in that area, with Greece being a prime example."
So what does this mean for Wall Street and American investors? Commenting in a recent Seeking Alpha blog, Daniel Sckolnik, a senior analyst at Sabrient Systems, says the European recession should only deepen in the near future. And the Street, he notes, should be paying close attention in the meantime, "if it doesn't want to be caught off guard, as it seemed to be with the recent Cyprus banking debacle."
"There are simply too many crosscurrent events occurring at the moment to ignore from the eurozone," he adds, "the kinds of things that can suddenly coalesce into something akin to an economic rogue wave."

BISMARCK, N.D. (KWSN) – A career-night for USF's Jaicee Ulmer spurred the Cougars on the offensive end of the court, but her 26 points wasn't enough to lead USF to victory as they fell to the University of Mary 78-75 in Bismarck, N.D. on Saturday. With the loss, the Cougars fall to 12-12 overall and 8-12 in the conference while the Marauders hold a 15-8 record on the season and are 13-7 in the NSIC.
Ulmer went 10-of-15 from the field including 2-of-4 from behind the arc. Seventeen of Ulmer's points came in the second half where she was responsible for 47.5% of the Cougars offensive output. Ulmer also recorded three steals and three rebounds for USF.
The Marauders offense was spurred by Mckenzie Foster and Linda Murray who teamed up to score 43 points for U-Mary. Murray also grabbed 16 rebounds as she recorded a double-double for the Maruaders.
Foul trouble hurt the Cougars inside game as Sam Knecht and Amber Paden both had four fouls with 12:08 left in the second half. Paden's fifth foul came with 8:20 left in the game while Knecht would exit with 2:29 left.
USF trailed by five points heading into the break despite shooting only 36.8% from the field. Varsho was the lone Cougar player to enter the locker room in double-digit scoring with her 10 points on 5-of-9 shooting.
Despite the struggles offensively, USF stayed in the game thanks to a stingy defensive effort that forced twenty Marauder turnovers and held U-Mary to just 37.3% from the field. Taylor Varsho provided constant pressure on the U-Mary offense as she recorded five of USF's eleven steals.
After trailing by six points with 15:35 left in the game, the Cougars used a 9-0 run to take a 54-53 lead with just under thirteen minutes in the game. USF's run was capped off when Laura Johnson stole the ball from the Marauders and then was fouled and hit two shots from the charity stripe.
However, U-Mary answered right back with a 9-0 run of their own when the Marauders Linda Murray hit two free-throw shots.
Two Jaicee Ulmer free-throws with 4:14 left gave the Cougars a four-point lead, but a Mckenzie Foster layup paired with a Brittney Dietz three-point shot took the lead away from the Cougars. Ulmer responded with a layup of her own with just under three minutes to play, but the Marauders came back by scoring seven straight points which all came from the free-throw line.
Taylor Varsho banked in a three-point shot at the buzzer, but it was too little too late as the Cougars fell by a final score of 78-75.
Laura Johnson came up two rebounds short of a double-double for the Cougars as she scored eleven points and grabbed eight rebounds.
After losing four straight NSIC matchups, the Cougars will look to get back in the win column as they prepare to host Minnesota-State and Concordia-St. Paul at the Stewart Center on February 21 and 22.

This product includes all of the important ingredients to make sure that your aging dog has all of the support that he or she needs to transition into the golden years with ease.
This formula contains Glucosamine, which is naturally found in the body and is key to help repairing damaged cartilage. However, the body slows down the production of glucosamine with age, so this supplement will support the ability to repair damaged cartilage. This formula also contains Chondroitin, which is a structural component of cartilage and helps support the elastic property of cartilage. The other two active joint health ingredients, Perna Mussel and MSM, also assist the aging body and support joint health through their anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, with the antioxidant properties of the added Vitamin C and Vitamin E you can feel good knowing that your aging pet is protected from free radicals.

Provides an overview of the biologic basis for development and evaluation of new viral, bacteriologic, parasitic, and cancer vaccines. Lectures address the fundamental immunologic concepts of correlates of protective immunity underlying current and new strategies for immunization. Emphasizes the use of new technologies for expression of vaccine antigens, including recombinant DNA techniques and use of novel adjuvants and antigen-carrier systems to enhance the delivery/presentation of specific immunogens to effector sites.
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
Identify and describe the biological obstacles preventing development of effective vaccines for several important human pathogens
Identify, analyze, and critique cutting-edge strategies for approaching these obstacles
Describe several molecular mechanisms by which various adjuvants may potentiate vaccine induced immune responses
Identify and explain multiple differences between the natural immune response to pathogens and the vaccine induced immune response to targeted antigens
Analyze and explain the implications for bio-defense of vaccine related work on various pathogens
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of several viral and bacterial vectors for the delivery of recombinant vacine antigens or DNA
Discuss the three signals necessary to trigger a primary immune response to a candidate vaccine antigen
Discuss the important role that vaccine type (ie live vs killed vs subunit) and route of administration (IM vs ID) can play in determining the types of immune responses elicited by immunization

DIDN'T SCOTT Brown learn anything from his bitter campaign against Elizabeth Warren? The citizens of Massachusetts do not want political campaigns based on nasty, personal jabs ("Brown swipes at Markey's residency," Page A1, Jan. 3).
He lost to Elizabeth Warren in part because he consistently preferred to make sarcastic and racially tinged comments about her family heritage, and to wage a negative innuendo campaign against her legal career rather than to face the voters and explain his voting record in a cogent and substantive manner.

The Kirby (Kirby Cocktail)
1 cherry jello shot made with Malibu Coconut Rum
4 oz. pink lemonade
2 oz. Bacardi Superior Rum
1 oz. Hiram Walker Blackberry Brandy
Directions: Place the jello shot in the bottom of the glass first. Slowly pour in pink lemonade, rum, and brandy. If done properly, the jello shot will stay at the bottom of the glass. Drink the alcohol and eat the jello shot last. The jello shot, according to drink's creator Shana, absorbs the alcohol in the drink, just as Kirby absorbs his enemies powers!

A new study suggests that Homo erectus, a precursor to modern humans, was using advanced toolmaking methods in East Africa 1.8 million years ago, at least 300,000 years earlier than previously thought. The study, published this week in Nature, raises new questions about where these tall and slender early humans originated and how they developed sophisticated tool-making technology. [Read More]

Carnival spends $300M to erase 'poop cruise' debacle
The cruise line is investing to upgrade every ship in its fleet, hoping to burnish its post-Triumph image.
How do you come back from a disaster like the "poop cruise," the Triumph voyage earlier this year that stranded 3,000 passengers for five days after an engine fire?
For Triumph owner Carnival (CCL), the answer involves a $300 million investment to upgrade every ship in its fleet, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The upgrades come after Carnival, which controls 50% of the cruise market, slashed rates in the immediate aftermath of the Triumph disaster. The company at one point offered a Caribbean cruise at cut-rate prices, offering berths for as little as $38 a night.
But low pricing apparently wasn't quite enough to convince consumers to book trips on the cruise line. Carnival, which oversees 10 cruise line brands including Carnival and Princess Cruises, last month said chief executive Micky Arison was stepping down as advance bookings continued to run lower than last year.
"I don't want to go through that again, and I don't want our guests to go through that," Gerry Cahill, the chief executive of the Carnival Cruise Lines unit, told the Times of the Triumph disaster, which led to overflowing toilets and food shortages.
So, what will passengers see for the $300 million? Most of work will be behind the scenes and is geared toward helping avoid similar disasters. Carnival's 24 cruise ships will receive upgraded onboard fire-detection and -extinguishing systems, as well as secondary emergency diesel generators.
The line will also boost ad spending by 40% in the fall and roll out new ads featuring passengers talking about how much fun they had, the Times notes.
Carnival has its work cut out for it: Only 4% of April respondents to an E-Poll Market Research survey said the company could be described as trustworthy, down from 9% in 2011.
The spending might be one way to help boost confidence of would-be seafarers. Or as Gerry Philpott, president and chief executive of E-Poll, told the Times: "Unless Carnival promotes satisfaction guaranteed, they are going to have a difficult time getting new users."

My wife bought a Holland America cruise at a charity auction. I didn't want to go as the last cruise I went on was with Uncle Sam's cruise lines to SE Asia. I did and had a lot better time than I though I would. Food was good, drinks were ok and the optional sidetrips were worthwhile also. I'd go on Holland America again but not any others.
So why don't they also install a redundant system for unforeseen failures, like a larger holding tank for the toilets, more macerators (where they are permitted) more food and water, more generators to run the systems including the AC, a secondary power plant with props in the middle or slightly forward of the stern to slowly motor into a port. Those of us in the midwest would never go out in dangerous waters without a backup engine, extras provisions and life jackets, and water enabled SOS/GPS system.
There are many features they could add that would allow passengers to be comfortable for a long period of time, even weeks, thus avoiding the embarrassment of their latest debacles. Yes, it would cost them the space of a few berths, and maybe some extra weight, but look at the damage done without these features.
And this isn't directed just at Carnival. These measures should be adopted by the entire shipping industry, including commercial carriers.
For my parents fiftieth wedding anniversary my siblings and I took them on a ten day cruise to Bermuda through Royal Caribbean. We got them a cabin with a deck and all the trimmings. It was the first time any of went on a cruise. We all had a very good time. We took side trips. We went to the shows. We shopped and did some gambling. My parents and sisters loved the buffet while my brother and I preferred a sit down meal.
We had a few glitches when we had a little bit of rough weather and could not use the pool that day. Other than that we had a very enjoyable time. My parents sixtieth wedding anniversary is coming up next year and we would like to take than on another cruise with the same cruise line on one of their new ships.
I have traveled by plane, car, train, and boat and you can always experience horror stories no matter which way you travel. You can also have good times and make good memories. You just have to choose which way to travel is the best way for you.
I'll never, ever cruise Carnival. I started cruising in the 70's when most ships only carried 600-800 passengers. That was perfect - enough people to have fun without long lines, no chairs at the pool etc. Of course they didn't have rock climbing, surfing, et al, but I 'd rather experience sailing than all that junk! The ships looked and felt like seaworthy vessels, not floating blocks and the pools were open to the horizon, not enclosed or surrounded by "stuff". I read that Viking is going to build two sea going vessels with 800 passenger capacity, now those are ships I'd love to sail on.
First and only monolithic ship I sailed on was Princess from San Juan to NYC with over 3,000 passengers. We hit a tropical storm off Hatteras with 67 mph sustained winds, 40' waves. The promenade deck doors blew off, we were confined to our bunks an entire day, were a day late arriving in NYC. Relieved me of my desire sail the Atlantic, or at least the graveyard of the Atlantic - Hatteras. The huge waves pounding sounded like the steel was being ripped off the hull and the Golden Princess rolled so much we spent half the time with feet over head.
Well at least we can say they are making an effort. Clearly they got lax and the recent failures and the public's exodus was a good dose of cold water to wake them up. Time will tell if it pays off.
Hopefully it works and they learn their lesson and resume their focus on offering a good product not solely the bottomline. I always wonder how the execs think that cutting corners will make you money? Yeah, short term, but as we see here, longterm, it cost them! That's the problem with society today, to much short term thinking.
Anyways I digress, wife and I went on cruise for honeymoon and we had a blast and I would go again, 5yrs ago on the Carnival Legend. Face it, a cruise is not for everyone and like any trip of this nature do your homework ahead of time and know what to expect. Talking to others that have been is also a good idea to learn some pointers.
One thing I don't think I would like though is to be on some of these newer even larger ships. The worst part was that you start to have to many people plain and simple. There are only so many amenities on board and when you get to port the influx is huge. Other than that, that was the only real thing I didn't like.
I think its time

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
Immunology is the study of the body's immune system and its functions and disorders. Serology is the study of blood serum (the clear fluid that separates when blood clots).
Immunology and serology laboratories focus on the following:
Identifying antibodies (proteins made by a type of white blood cell in response to an antigen, a foreign protein, in the body)
Investigating problems with the immune system, such as autoimmune diseases (when the body's immune system turns on its own tissues) and immunodeficiency disorders (when a body's immune system is underactive)
Determining organ, tissue, and fluid compatibility for transplantation
These are proteins in the body that have antibody activity. An excess may be caused by a variety of conditions including infection, autoimmune disorders, cancers, and chronic diseases. A deficiency may be caused by many conditions including cancers, medicines, and chronic diseases
Rheumatoid factor
To help classify arthritis and diagnose rheumatoid arthritis. Other tests are often used as well to classify and determine types of arthritis.
HLA Typing (Human leukocyte antigens)
To determine compatibility in organ, tissue, and bone marrow transplantation, to determine paternity, and to diagnose HLA-related disorders

Plastic-Free Containers: Steel vs. Glass
Fortunately, switching to plastic-free food containers has gained a lot of steam. With steel and glass as the main alternatives, how do you choose? Both containers have their advantages, like being BPA free and long-lasting. To make choosing easier, here is a list of pros and cons for each.
Both glass and steel food containers avoid a host of toxins, like BPA and phthalates, that can leech into food from conventional plastic containers. Going plastic-free is not only healthier for you, it's greener too by reducing our planet's plastic burden.
Steel Container Pros:
• Extremely lightweight, making it easy to toss into your bag or briefcase.
• Durable and long-lasting.
• Leak-proof options are available.
Steel Container Cons:
• Not microwaveable.
Glass Container Pros:
• Transfers easily from the refrigerator to the microwave.
• Tempered varieties like Pyrex allows you to bake in them, then stores any leftovers.
• Microwaveable.
• Looks attractive enough to serve on your tabletop.
• Transparent, making it easy to identify and manage the food in your fridge.
• Leak-proof options are available.
Glass Container Cons:
• On the heavier side in terms of portability, especially when carrying multiples.
• Breakable on the go.
The Verdict:
They're both champions in their respective realms, so whether one or the other is the right fit for you depends on your lifestyle. If you're the person on the go, steel containers are the clear winner. Their lightweight portability making them convenient to take to work, the park, or on a hike. If you're more the homebody, glass containers' versatility makes it the obvious winner. It acts as cookware, serveware, and storage.
As for me, I'm a little bit homebody and with a dash of "on the go," so most of my food containers are glass, supplemented by a couple of steel containers for hikes or the playground.

Glass Container Cons: Plastic lids get worn out and you'll end up searching for them.
Glass and steel containers are great, but most of them aren't plastic free (unless you think the lids don't count.)
I use steel for snacks and things for my kid. But I can't store things in them in the fridge because I forget what's in them. I need to be able to see like with the glass.
I've always felt that as long as the food wasn't in contact with the plastic lid then you're probably okay. What I'm most weary of is microwaving the plastic, so we make sure to never microwave the lids and instead cover the containers with paper towels.
err, wary.
I'm a big glass fan, and I don't microwave either way, BUT it's important to know that most home-canning jar lids contain BPA! In fact, I've only found one company out there that makes BPA free canning lids, and when I discovered them I bought a whole ton so I'd be set for a few seasons (if anyone else is interested in this, there's a link in the right sidebar of my blog).
Generally not a steel fan--for looks, feel, and the fact that you can't see into them. I also think they can impart a flavor to the food, depending on the container. Glass all the way, baby!
Bad Mama Genny
I just bought my first lunch bots steel container to bring to work with me and I love it! They're great to throw some snacks in - fruit, veggies, things you wouldn't microwave anyway. And the lids are steel too, so completely plastic free.
Like genevievecharet mentioned, stainless steel tastes like metal. That alone means that it's glass, glass, and glass&plastic in our house, depending on the use. We use Weck jars for almost everything (glass and rubber, which doesn't touch the food), with some supplemental Ball jars and tempered glass jars and bowls with plastic lids.
When I grew up (in India), it was steel all the way. From lunch boxes, tiffin carriers, storage containers, tumblers, plates, cookware, you name it. Part of it was because of the longevity of the product. Plastic was frowned upon. Now, things have changed. It's plastic everywhere for everything!
I love glass for all the pros mentioned. I wish we get steel lids for glass containers.
I'm a huge fan of the Glasslock containers, which do have plastic lids, but they're BPA free. There seem to be a few different brand though, and not all of them say they're BPA free.
I don't use mine for reheating at all, since I don't have a microwave.
I bought my dad a whole set for xmas and told him to throw out all his nasty old plastic stuff that'd been microwaved to death. Scary.
I love glass storage, and far and away my favorite source is fishs eddy. I LOVE their floral storage bowls, they used to sell giftsets with all 6 patterns, and I wound up with two by accident, but I love them so much that it is totally fine. And they sell extra lids, so you can be prepared for when you inevitably lose/ruin yours. I also completely love their working glasses, which you can buy plastic lids for. I use them to bring a big glass of chia seed juice to work every day for breakfast, but they also work around the house as normal glasses. I still want basically all of the rest of their storage bowls, but I already have more than I need!
^^I just realized they totally still sell the giftsets, so everyone should buy them because they are totally great.
I have those Crate & Barrel glass containers and just hot water from the tap in the kitchen was enough to warp the lid so it no longer fits. But we mostly use glass or pyrex for storing and carrying food just so we're not going through yards and yards of plastic wrap or aluminum foil or bags.
For short-term storage, just flip the canning lids upside down and tighten the lid. That way the lining isn't in contact with the food.
Obviously, this won't work for canning...
Glass all the way. I like to be able to see in my containers. This is by far my favorite set: http://www.target.com/p/Pyrex-6-pc-Storage-Value-Pack/-/A-10507546 . It is inexpensive and the sizing is perfect. Cheaper than there other lines because these aren't the fancy microwave lids.
Plenty of plastic containers do not produce BPA, particularly low- and high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and PET.
stainless steel for the kiddo that eats her lunch room temperature or with the help of a thermos (also stainless steel). glass for grown up lunches and old stackable fridge pyrex for large batches of leftovers in the fridge.
I agree with Aneelee. I love the vintage Pyrex fridge dishes with glass lids. You can find them on ebay or in thrift stores sometimes. They can go straight from fridge to microwave. I also use vintage Corningware to microwave or use on the stovetop (the newer version can't go on the stovetop.)
I just threw out a bunch of old plastic stuff and went with the Pyrex set from Target. I love these new bowls! I don't even mind carrying the heavy bowls to work. For some reason, I feel like food stays better longer.
There are some steel containers that also have steel lids, but since I mostly use my containers to store leftovers that I want to reheat in the microwave (because I'm lazy), I vote for GlassLock containers all the way! I've never had a leak, ever, although I did once manage to vacuum seal the lid in the microwave.
I have those Crate & Barrel containers and I LOVE THEM. They're a perfect portion size - you can store a meal in two or three separate little containers to take out/microwave/whatever later. They're somewhat breakable so I don't take them to work with me for lunch (I just use mason jars - nothing seals better). Bonus points for stacking well in the fridge! (and for nesting when they're empty in a cabinet)! Plus, have you seen how cheap they are? I even use them for dry goods storage.
Someone else noted that the lids warp. This is true, to an extent (like when a roommate puts them in the dishwasher or you pour boiling water into the sink on top of them) but you can get replacement lids for something like 25 cents a piece.

A friend of mine, Cindy, recently reminded me of an old but great quote that says, "What would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail?" In the past my answer would have been about different careers I would have pursued or instruments I would have learned to play, but I'm older now and my aspirations take me in different directions.
What would I attempt if I knew I couldn't fail? Since joining ASHA my answer has changed to be that I would …find a way to make every adult sexually healthy.
What does that even mean? For me it means that we would have all the information we need to make good decisions — for ourselves and our partners. It means that we would look for, and know when we are in healthy relationships. It would mean that no matter how old we are, we would keep learning what we need to know.
