We provide easy do-it-yourself booking, or you can call us for professional assistance. Our booking system as well as professional assistance are both free services, and do not require registration.
Caribbean "Cruise Only"
When you search for Caribbean Cruise Deals you will find that the best deals are always "Cruise Only". Some cruise lines, such as Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises no longer even provide an airfare option at time of booking.
Find The Best Caribbean Cruise Deals
Find the best cruise deals by using the search box at the upper left hand to do a general search for the best Caribbean cruise deals, or to narrow down your search. The results are in order of lowest price. Do remember to browse the results for great deals on balconies and suites. When you see a "Bonus" button in the search results, click on it to see valuable extras. Bookings made online are booked on the cruise lines' computers, and payments are made directly to the cruise lines.
Don't forget to check the 55+ box if anyone in the cabin qualifies for those specials. As long as ONE person qualifies, everyone on the cabin will receive the extra discounts. The same applies to the Military rates (bring your military ID to the ship!).
There is also a drop-down box for selecting your state or province of residency. Please make sure to use it. Cruise lines will often offer great extra discounts in this way.
How Many Days?
Caribbean cruises come in three lengths. Short cruises of 3 to 5 days to the Bahamas,
weeklong cruises to the "Eastern" or "Western" Caribbean, and cruises
longer than 10 days, covering more Caribbean ports. Weeklong cruises are by far the most popular Caribbean cruises.
Eastern, Western or Southern Caribbean?
Cruises in the Caribbean usually visit three to four ports on a weeklong itinerary. Eastern Caribbean itineraries depart South Florida or the U.S. East Coast for visits that may include the Bahamas, St Thomas, St Maarten and Tortola. A Western Caribbean cruise vacation departs South Florida or ports around the Gulf of Mexico, and typically visits places such as Key West, Cozumel, Belize, the Cayman Islands and Jamaica.
Southern Caribbean cruises may start in San Juan if weeklong, or ports in New York and Florida if longer than 10 days. Southern Caribbean cruises visit the idyllic small Windward Islands from Antigua south to Barbados, or Curacao and Aruba along the north coast of South America. These voyages offer cruisers port-intensive itineraries that take in some of the Caribbean's lesser known and most pristine islands.
Ports of Departure
Caribbean cruises depart from many ports along the U.S. coast, from New York all the way to Galveston. Use our Cruise Port Search to find a port conveniently located close to you.
Which Cruise Line?
You can find much more information about each cruise line from the "Caribbean Cruise Lines" and "Luxury/Deluxe Lines" lists of cruise lines to the left.
The major cruise lines that have been unveiling and sailing larger and larger cruise ships for the past decade take pride in offering so many choices that, for instance, on some it takes a week to visit every restaurant or dining room for dinner.
Superliners from Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean and others provide a cruise vacation that can be wild and wooly one minute and cool, calm and collected the next. The facilities on these floating resorts, which all deserve the state-of-the-art label, will satisfy everyone from the health nut who wants to stay fit to the party animal who wants to dance all night.
It's the big ships that feature the headline-grabbing innovations like surfing simulators, rock-climbing walls, ice skating rinks and wave pools, but because they are newer, they also feature some of the neatest twists on cruise-ship staples such as health spas, libraries and game rooms.
Mix in a few days visiting appealing ports, and a week on a big ship will seem to fly by. What may be most impressive, though, is how these ships can accommodate up to 6,000 people while not seeming crowded. More than anything, that's a testament to all the different choices everyone is making every day.

Fusion Crust
Dedicated to the preservation of miracles in science.
Note: Many of the early photomicrographs were taken with a toy microscope that has only the most general methods of controlling light and focus. (I have now acquired a new microscope and will be making more pictures as I have time and money.) Many pictures were taken and only a few were acceptable. The depth of field of many of my subjects was greater than the depth of field of the microscope, so it made it impossible to focus everything at once. I apologize if any one loses their sight from viewing these pictures.
The reason for this section is that there has been some confusion over the fusion crust of this meteorite. When any object flies through our atmosphere, it must undergo some kind of change that would prove its passage through the air. We now know that rocks high in silicon are common on Mars, but not common among meteorites, since most meteorites come from the asteroid belt, where volcanic forces have not been at work. A rock made of silicon and vesicles with thin walls will handle the heat differently than a solid rock. The silicon and thin walls act to quickly carry the heat away allowing the rock to suffer less "damage" than a "normal"rock. On most meteorites, the fusion crust is clearly visible to the naked eye. On my rock, the fusion crust is easier seen by using a small microscope, although melting is macroscopically visible over much of the surface.
The fusion crust is clearly visible here. This particular spot is the most like a "normal" fusion crust. I have proposed that this rock came from Mars, but some who have viewed it claim that it is terrestrial and that the melting one sees on it came from the volcano on Earth which spewed it out. This is impossible since the rock was created by lava flowing through a bed of sand two times and 36 million years apart. All of the vesicles of this rock are filled with sand and clay. The rock would then have to have some kind of propulsion to take it from the ground and into the air so that it could fall on the ranch. But if we take this one step further, we can see that the sandy material has been melted into the volcanic material in many places near the outer edge of the rock. This means the sandy material was in the rock before the rock flew through the air. Mars is now a much more likely candidate than is Earth.
If you look carefully, you can see where the sand melted with the volcanic material. But also, you can see where other particles have "stuck" to the surface when it was hot. The sand must have been blowing in many directions at once as this was coming through the air. Each of the little vesicles would act to stir up the air in that region and then the structure and composition would help keep things from getting too hot. What a perfect little space ship.
If you look carefully at this picture, you can see the "lines of heat" where the air rushed through this crevice. If you look at the upper left hand corner of the picture, you can see a "line" that runs from the upper left at a 45 degree angle towards the bottom of the crevice. When this section is viewed through a microscope, you can see the changes that melting has caused along this line. This, of course, is just one example of the melting seen over the entire outer surface, if you use a small microscope. Once you see the internal sections, it is easy to see how much the outside is melted in comparison. The picture below shows what the external surface would have looked like before coming through the atmosphere. The right hand side of this core sample would represent the bottom of a one-inch deep vesicle that was exposed to the outside. As you travel from right to left, you are going deeper into the rock.
See how the "pores" are so much more open on the internal sample as compared to the entire exterior of the meteorite. If you were to heat this section sufficiently, then it would melt and make the walls stronger and thicker. This is exactly what we see in the photo before this one. The heating process caused when the rock flew through our atmosphere has closed the vesicles. The fusion crust is normal for a rock of this type, but is different than other meteorites. That shouldn't be such a hard thing for people to see. Different materials and structures would have different results when they make a passage through our atmosphere. For proof of this statement, witness the fuel tank which recently landed in Texas without apparent damage after falling from space. Look at this rock and see the damage it suffered when it too, came from space.
To better understand the process of the formation of the fusion crust on the Frass meteorite, I have made a series of drawings to show what would happen when a thin-walled, highly vesicled rock comes through our atmosphere.
In diagram A, we see the rock as it first begins to enter the atmosphere. Notice the sand and particles are still in all of the vesicles. The air currents are shown by the arrows.
In diagram B, the process is continuing. Some of the outer material of the walls of vesicle 1 have begun to melt and to thicken. Some of the material is blown from the rock as it heats up and the pressure of the atmosphere forces it away from the rock, so vesicle 1 has lost most of its contents. Another thing to notice is how complex the air currents would be for a rock of this type. Normal, flat meteorites present a relatively simple aerodynamic profile to the atmosphere, whereas the Frass meteorite would have been composed of countless tiny air currents, all helping to carry away the heat being generated. Also, the loss of materials would help in the heat dissipation.
In diagram C we can see larger pieces leaving the rock. The contents of vesicle 2 have now been eliminated and the outer wall to vesicle 3 has now been breached and its contents will soon begin to exit the rock. Many of the outer walls have now been melted and are much thicker than they originally were. The air currents have become even more complex.
Diagram D represents the rock as it looks today, after its fall through the atmosphere. All of the outer vesicles have been cleared of sand and debris. The outer walls are thicker than the interior walls due to the heating by our atmosphere. Many of the vesicles show levels that are 2, 3, or 4 vesicles deep.
It is amazing to me that all of the scientist I have talked to refuse to accept this explanation for the fusion crust of my meteorite. They will not listen to my arguments and merely say that it doesn't look like the meteorites they have seen before, so it can't be a meteorite. In my opinion, a meteorite is a piece of space debris that falls to Earth, not something proclaimed a meteorite by a meteorite specialist.

Will the next generation of Apple's iPhone really identify its owner with the swipe of a finger using a fingerprint scanner?
UNCONFIRMED: Though coders say they've found clues.
As CNN and others report, Apple's early preview of its new operating system has some people convinced that the next-generation iPhone will feature a fingerprint sensor.
According to 9to5Mac, a coder named Hamza Sood first identified what he and others say are clues to the new feature. Sood sent 9to5Mac a few lines of code in the new beta version of iOS 7. That code includes what appears to be voiceover text instructing the phone owner "holding an iPhone with their left hand while touching the Home button with their thumb," and also includes lines like "fingerprint.status" and "thumb_Recognition."
Rumor: Using an iPhone while it's charging can cause electrocution
To Sood and others, this means the new iPhone is likely to have fingerprint sensor technology that has long been rumored, possibly for a new payments system or merely as a safer way to unlock the phone. But of course there's no confirmation that his hunch is correct. And famously tight-lipped Apple has not responded to MSN News nor others seeking comment on this or other rumors, including that the new iPhone will also feature a larger screen.

SPOKANE, Wash. – A 54-hour frenzy of entrepreneurship started Friday night in Spokane. It's the fourth Startup Weekend Spokane.
125 aspiring entrepreneurs are pitching new business ideas to a team of prominent judges. Only one of them will earn the recognition of having the best start-up idea in the city.
Pete Taylor is pitching a new mobile app. He is not only returning for another year of competition, he is the first winner of Spokane Startup Weekend a few years ago.

His first business was so successful, he is back with another startup idea.
"It was so much fun just being here. It is so invaluable. You get mentored and coached by big business people from all over the world. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity," said Taylor.
Organizers said their goal is to help people like Taylor get paired with the designers, business leaders and web coders to make a product.
This is the largest turnout of participants yet. On Friday night, the crowd voted on which ideas will move forward to compete for the rest of the weekend.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great little school. I feel like my child is getting an excellent education there. Test scores are always high. It has a very active PTA and a lot of parent involvement. McLean has a lot of parents who are professionals and were high academic achievers themselves so school is a high priority for most parents here. The teachers my child has had have all been excellent and very dedicated. It seems like there's been a lot of teacher turnover in the last couple years, and some really amazing veteran teachers have left. There are usually 2 classes of each grade, but the school is small so they sometimes have to have split classes when there are not enough kids to fill two classes of a grade. That means they might have one class that is half 3rd graders and half 4th graders in the same classroom with one teacher covering both grades, along with one 3rd grade only class and one 4th grade only class. This works fine for some kids but is unsuitable for others, so there are some parents who do not like the split classes.
My children have attended Franklin Sherman for a total of 5 years. I have been pleased with the academics of the school. I've not had one bad teacher - all have been great to superior. The school is one of the smallest schools in the county and I like that! I know most of the families that attend the school since there are only 2 to 3 classes per grade. They have a wonderful new music teacher and aspiring new principal that is changing things up a bit and promoting some new and innovative things. Some of the teachers have been skeptical of the changes but I think change is always hard to adopt. They have a Gift Specialist for the school but not a full-time GT program. Children with higher test scores are often pulled out for specialized study in Math, Reading and English.
My son has been going to Frankin Sherman for 2 years now and he is in a special needs classroom and goes back/forth for specials/lunch and PE. Everyone there is very nice besides the front office staff who is kind of not so friendly on the phone. Since he has been there his test scores has almost doubled. I would say 'yes' if you are looking for a great school for your child. The principle is young and can relate to the children on their level-he is really great and has always returned my phone calls on the same day.

Eleven days after his college career ended in a 7-1 first round playoff loss to Ohio State, Brandon Svendsen started his professional career in impressive fashion. In his first game as a member of the East Coast Hockey League's (ECHL) Idaho Steelheads, the former Falcon assistant captain picked up an early first period assist, then tied the game at three with 50 seconds remaining in the contest.
Following a scoreless overtime period, Svendsen beat Victoria Salmon Kings' goalie Julien Ellis in the shootout to help the Steelheads end a three game losing streak.
"He was the fifth shooter; we were a little short forwards, so I threw him in and he tied it up with a nice move to freeze the goalie," said Steelhead coach Derek Laxdall.
Since his first game with the Steelheads, Svendsen has become a consistent contributor playing on the top line scoring four goals and adding ten assist in his first eight games. For the Rosewood, MN native scoring has been nothing new after his final college season when he had 12 goals and 18 assists.
"I've just tried to continue what I've been doing throughout the year at Bowling Green," said Svendsen.
For Svendsen some of the biggest changes from college to the ECHL have been the added frequency of games in a week, compared to two during a college season, and the added physicality of minor league hockey.
"The whole style of the game is completely different, there is a lot more control and structure to the game," Svendsen said.
At 5'10" 184 lbs, Svendsen is the second smallest player on the Steelheads, however that hasn't hurt his chances to impress coach Laxdal.
"He's fit in very well in our hockey club, he went in and got right in our top line since we had someone else called up [to the AHL]," said Laxdal. "He's shown he can play in the ECHL as a top six forward on our team."
Another reason Svendsen has been able to compete at the ECHL level is his strong defensive play, especially during special teams. With the Falcons, Svendsen had a conference leading three shorthanded goals and was a crucial part of BG's 83.7% penalty kill.
"He's such a smart player, he's not afraid to take a chance while short handed," said Svendsens' linemate at BG David Solway. "There were a lot of 5-on-3s late in the season where he was literally out there for the whole two minutes. He was our biggest penalty killer, he out worked and outsmarted the other team every night."
As a member of the Steelheads, Svendsen has already scored shorthanded and has a plus/minus rating of seven.
One of the contributing factors to Svendsen signing with Idaho was their affiliation with the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars. The signing will also give him another chance at playoff hockey as the Steelheads are guaranteed at least the second seed in the ECHL playoffs.
While Svendsen hopes to have a long professional career, he also plans to finish his degree in business management from Bowling Green this summer.

Last week, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mumford & Sons , The Killers , Phoenix , The Postal Service , The National and Vampire Weekend were among the acts that would be performing at Lollapalooza this summer. Now, the newspaper is reporting that they've been able to confirm the rest of the lineup , thanks to one of the festival's official posters that was leaked online on Wednesday night by a party as yet unknown.
If the photo of the alleged Lollapalooza poster is accurate, you can expect Nine Inch Nails , Queens of the Stone Age and The Cure to perform at the event, which will be held August 2-4 in Grant Park in Chicago, IL. Other bands listed on the poster include Imagine Dragons , New Order , The Lumineers , Band of Horses , Alt-J , Foals and Two Door Cinema Club .
We'll find out if the leaked Lollapalooza poster is legit when the lineup for the event is officially revealed at 12:01 a.m. CT on April 9.

Grilling This Memorial Day? Why You Should Throw On Some Cauliflower.
Austin Food & Wine Festival
Memorial Day is this weekend! Break out the grill and kick-off the unofficial beginning of the grilling season with some cauliflower. It just may be the best cauliflower you've ever had.
The Austin Food & Wine Festival is a great place to learn new and surprising techniques from some of the world's best chefs. I had so much fun at last year's grilling demo with Chef Tim Love that I just had to see what he would be cooking up this year. We cooked steak, of course, but what really impressed me was the grilled cauliflower. Enjoy it this Memorial Day for a standout side!
Some Like it Hot
When it comes to grilling, it's all about heat. A piping hot grill ensures that beautiful charred crust we all want, and it applies for both meat and vegetables. If you have an electric grill, get things started by igniting a high heat flame on the area you'll be working on. Close the lid and let the inside temperature of the grill rise.
If you have a charcoal grill (as shown in the pics) be sure to light up a chimney full of wood chunks — you can use charcoal briquets as well. When the wood (or charcoal) at the very top of the chimney begins to ash, add it to the lower section of the grill under the grates, then cover.
Prep for Deliciousness
As the grill heat up, prepare the cauliflower by first cutting in half. Then cut each half into thick 3/4" wide cross-sections. Coat the cauliflower with a layer of oil (we used peanut oil at the demonstration), then cover the in a tried and true seasoning blend you enjoy — a mix of salt, pepper, chili powder, and rosemary works well. Season the cauliflower chunks liberally on all sides.
Set it and Forget it
Squeeze and Savor

You know what it turns out is fantastic on the grill? Carrots. Holy crap. Slices into halves lengthwise or into big coins, they soften just enough on the outside, stay crunchy in the middle, and the sugar in the carrots carmelizes the outside. They're amazing.
Mmm! I would love this, if only my husband would allow for the presence of cauliflower in our home. :P
My mom used to broil it, to a similar effect.
Why do i doubt the accuracy of this post? Because there are no grill marks on the cauliflower in the photo, which instead looks like its been seared in a pan with lots of butter? Or more likely because you can't "coat" cauliflower (which repels even water) with dry seasoning like salt/pepper/paprika and certainly not rosemary. You'll need some oil to help it all stick together, at a minimum.
Feels like this was copied from another article somewhere, rather than actually tested in real life and reported on...
I was also wondering how to get the rub to stick without a coating of oil...
I've done this ... but rubbed with oil first. Yummy.
Sorry to hear your reservations. This was cooked and prepared by me (that's my grill, and my hands in the photo) during an outdoor demonstration at the Austin Food & Wine festival. No butter, no searing in a pan.
We just let the cauliflower rest on the grill for 25-30 minutes as I mentioned in the article. I did forget to mention the key step of coating the cauliflower in oil before adding the rub - this has since been edited. For seasoning we used a Chef Tim Love Wild Game rub which is a rosemary/salt/pepper mix.
I made this last night exactly as suggested: olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder, rosemary, 15 minutes per side, and squeezed lemon.... Wow! I didn't expect this to be so tasty! This will definitely be in my permanent summer recipe rotation.
Thank you!

Found June 18, 2012 on Awful Announcing:
PLAYERS: Webb Simpson
Yesterday, this fan who crashed Webb Simpson's US Open trophy victory took the internet by storm with his appearance on the 18th green making bird calls. Webb Simpson took it pretty well and uploaded the above picture to his Twitter page saying he made a new friend. It was one of the greatest and most random videobombs of all-time for the world to see on NBC. But who was this daring and perhaps crazy individual who calmly wandered into the spotlight in his brightly colored outfit? He goes by the name of Jungle Bird, and his mission is to stop deforestation. No, really. Look, he even has a Facebook page and Youtube channel (describing himself as a 40 year old man from the UK) to prove it and uploaded a video of his appearance at yesterday's trophy presentation. Hopefully this means he's not in jail anymore. Here he is saying hello to the Queen's motorcade... Jungle Bird's Facebook page describes himself as a "fictional character" and "activist dedicated to raising awareness of deforestation :-)." Videobombing the US Open trophy presentation sure is a strange way to raise awareness for deforestation, but it's at least made me think twice about the dangers today. God speed in your journey, Official Jungle Bird. I can only hope you're following the NBA Finals closely.

Moyes calls for better Fellaini protection and more.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
STEVEN NAISMITH believes Nikica Jelavic can cope with the pressure of firing Everton FC back into contention for Europe.
David Moyes believes the Croatian's form will be crucial to whether the sixth-placed Blues can finish this season strongly, and his former Rangers team-mate is confident he can stay mentally strong as he bids to find the goal-scoring form which made him an instant success on Merseyside after arriving in January 2012.
Jelavic has not scored in the league since December 9, and drew another blank at Carrow Road on Saturday as Everton conceded two late goals to crash to a 2-1 defeat which cast further doubt on their top four credentials.
"There's no doubt he can handle the pressure," said the Scotland international forward.
"If you look at how the games are going now the ball just isn't breaking to him. It's not about him not trying or being lazy.
"There were a couple of times against Norwich again when the ball didn't fall to him. But his other parts of his games are working well.
"He put a few balls across the face of goal for other people, and he'll always give you that if not the goals he usually scores as well.
"You could look at it that way, but the goal came from Ossie bursting a gut to get into the space which Jela had created. That was where the goal came from.
"That's one thing about this club – it's never about one individual, it's about the team. If the ball isn't dropping to Jela he'll become the creator which is what the manager would expect."
Naismith admitted Everton were angry at themselves for the defensive failings which allowed Kai Kamara to level for Norwich, and then Grant Holt to score in the 94th minute.
"I think we are disappointed we didn't deal with the balls into the box," he said.
"We've been working on it in training because we've lost a few late goals that way. It's disappointing but we need to move on.
"We controlled it for the first hour of the game and got the goal but the big thing is we didn't get the second to kill the game off.
You've got to credit Norwich for the way they fought until the end.
"We knew it was going to be a tough place to come but we felt like we were in control.
"The manager was disappointed we didn't have many shots in the second half or take our chances.
"The amount of comfortable possession we had we should have got the second."
Naismith, who had a rare start for the Toffees in East Anglia, admits the defeat has hurt the club's Champions League ambitions.
He added: "When you drop points it gives the teams around you an opportunity and that's what's happened.
"It will make it tougher but we just need to go into the next league game hoping the reverse happens.
"The Oldham game will be another tough game but we're at home and with the fans behind us we'll hopefully put on a professional performance."
MAROUANE FELLAINI says fate will decide whether he leaves Everton FC for Chelsea in the summer.
The Belgian midfielder reiterated once again his wish to play in the Champions League next season, but was reluctant to dismiss the prospect of staying at Goodison.
He said: "Am I interested in Chelsea? It's normal, right? I've never played in the Champions League!
"But I'm happy here, I know everyone, I get along with my team-mates. It's my home. On the other hand, I also want to take the next step. Fate will decide.
"Everton paid £20million and do not want to sell me for nothing.
"If a big club wants me, they will have to pay the price."
NO wonder Everton FC manager David Moyes was urging referee Lee Mason to blow the final whistle so fervently.
Sixteen seconds added to injury time shouldn't make much of a difference to a resilient defensive outfit, but so often when it matters lately Everton simply aren't a resilient defensive outfit.
Earlier in this watershed season they were perhaps less watertight because of their new-found cavalier attacking instinct – these days it's just infectious panic.
Now their tendency to forget the basics at the final hurdle has pushed their Champions league credentials further into the category marked tenuous. Everton have conceded in the last 15 minutes a damaging nine times this season, and they just haven't been scoring the goals to take the sting out of such carelessness.
What's more they have now surrendered game-changing goals in the 90th minute or later on five occasions. It's a discernible problem which must be quickly solved.
For 93 minutes and 16 seconds at Carrow Road on Saturday, it was set to be the familiar story of Everton regretting their inability to both keep a clean sheet while finishing off inferior opponents.
Then it got worse. Much worse.
Time eventually ran out too late for Moyes men. There was a nagging fear that it was the end for much more.
Short of a Herculean return to form in conjunction with an unlikely collapse for Spurs, qualifying for the Europa League seems a more realistic prospect than Europe's elite club competition.
With 11 Premier League games remaining it would be premature to write their top four hopes off completely, but the Blues have certainly made life difficult for themselves.
Everton's squad is lacking zest at the time they need it most, and the club's failure to add attacking impetus in January is being placed in stark and predictable perspective.
MLS import Kai Kamara looked like the sort of lively loan signing Everton craved.
Sadly he entered an otherwise drab contest in a yellow shirt, and proceeded to change the game in the hosts' favour.
Everton's pursuit of high-quality additions such as Leroy Fer and Alvaro Negredo in January were admirably ambitious.
But as bids for the pair only materialised towards the middle and end of the month, it's hard not to wonder whether that undermined the club's ability to draft in short-term loan captures to supplement the squad's attacking options.
Granted Moyes was able to call on his own potential game changer in Kevin Mirallas, but that switch came at the expense of a formerly bona fide goalscorer in Nikica Jelavic.
The Blues boss had not hesitated in reminding Jelavic beforehand of the all encompassing importance attached to him finding form. But based on this evidence the Scot will be waiting a while.
As usual it's not down to a lack of endeavour. Jelavic toils gamely but when the openings which he would once have dispatched ruthlessly arrive, he oozes self doubt. It's painful to watch.
The hope is that one decisive flourish will once again open the flood gates. Let's hope Oldham feel the backlash on Tuesday, but even that encounter will bring its own problems if Everton continue to defend so feebly when the pressure is on.
Their downfall in Norwich was all the more frustrating because they largely controlled the game, and looked the better side despite Norwich's spirited start.
Just six minutes had gone when Wes Hoolahan played in Robert Snodgrass who had his close-range shot blocked by Sylvain Distin and deflected over the bar.
Then Distin almost set up Jelavic at the other end when the Croatian chested down his long punt skilfully but his stabbed effort lacked conviction and was saved at the near post by Mark Bunn.
The struggling forward might have been labouring under that stark warning from his manager, but he at least seemed up for the challenge; taking up good positions and stretching the hosts back line in the first half an hour.
The Blues began to ratchet up the early pressure, with Steven Pienaar causing trouble by drifting into the middle and again suggesting he is closing in on his best form, although they still lacked a final cutting edge.
In the end it took an old head to get them off the mark. Luciano Becchio had almost teed up Grant Holt who had his shot well saved by Tim Howard, with the Blues high defensive line leaving them vulnerable on the break.
But they weathered the danger and Leighton Baines sent a smart cross to the near post and the unmarked Leon Osman planted his header confidently past Mark Bunn.
Jelavic's presence had diverted the attention of both Norwich's central defenders, a reminder that they haven't forgotten what he is capable of doing to opponents.
After the break Kamara drew a save from Howard with an acrobatic effort, then he sent a downward header just wide of the American's left-hand post.
Then Darron Gibson , not operating at his best due to the injury he is currently carrying, swept an effort over the crossbar at the other end.
The crucial second didn't come, and like at Goodison when the sides last met, the Blues were made to pay in the end. First Kamara rose highest to power home Snodgrass' corner from the left, as Marouane Fellaini failed to challenge the Sierra Leonean convincingly. Just like at Oldham Everton dropped deeper and deeper. Snodgrass sent in another teasing cross, and when Sebastien Bassong climbed highest at the far post, Holt was there to bundle the ball home.
Cue angry scenes as Moyes strode onto the pitch to demand answers from the match official about his inexplicable decision to add that extra, extra time. But deep down he will know he has greater problems to solve than erratic referees.
DAVID MOYES conceded that Everton FC's hopes of a top-four finish were slim after they succumbed to a painful late defeat to Norwich City at Carrow Road.
Two goals in the final six minutes, from Kei Kamara and Grant Holt, condemned the Blues to an unlikely defeat in Norfolk. Moyes' men had looked comfortable throughout, and led for the bulk of the match thanks to Leon Osman's first-half header.
The loss leaves them six points behind Tottenham in fourth place, and looking over their shoulder at the likes of West Brom and Liverpool. Moyes admits their chances of securing Champions League football next season are fading fast.
"It is one game out of 11 or 12 that we had before today, so there is still chances for us to do it," he said. "But we are going to have to be very good to do it.
"All defeats are hard to take, but this one is hard because we should have been good enough to see it out. If we have any real ambitions then we've got to make sure that we win that game.
"Or if the worst happens, then we should see out a draw. I think we were unfairly dealt with today, though we should still deal with it ourselves."
Moyes was critical of referee Lee Mason's decision to allow the game to run to a fourth minute of added time. Holt's winner arrived 16 seconds after the allotted three minutes, though that figure is issued to referees only as a minimum guideline. Referees have the discretion to add on extra time if they feel it necessary.
"I can't understand why he plays three minutes 20 seconds for the goal," said Moyes. "If you add on three minutes' added time for 45 minutes in the second half, then I think 20 seconds sounds like a big percentage to add on top of that.
"He's got discretion to do what he likes, but I disagree with his discretion today.
"He didn't give any explanation. It's his discretion isn't it? But they can make up anything from that, can't they? I disagree with his discretion on this occasion."
Moyes also believed his side should have capitalised on the advantage given to them by Osman's goal, but said their play in the final third was not good enough.
"In the second half we were wasteful," he said. "We had opportunities to score a second and a third goal, but we didn't, and we were always going to be put under pressure at the end.
"We controlled the game, we passed it well enough and tried to do the right things, but we weren't good enough in the final third.
"But one thing is for sure, we didn't deserve to lose the game. That's a given."
Everton were distraught after losing a game they had dominated.
David Moyes' men lost ground in the race for fourth place, falling five points off the pace.
And Toffees striker Steven Naismith conceded: "It's tough to take but we just have to move on.
"We knew it was going to be difficult coming to Norwich but we felt we were in control.
"But we've let in a few late goals recently, though the manager was more disappointed that we didn't create much or have too many shots.
"We know we should have worked their keeper much more than we did.
"We started the season well but we aren't playing as well now, even though we have managed to grind out a few results.
"I don't know if it's down to tiredness – we are professionals and have to go out there and do our jobs."
David Moyes accused referees of "picking on" Marouane Fellaini after this damaging defeat and claimed his Everton midfielder does not receive the protection he deserves.
The Scot was furious after more dropped points, which cast doubt over both his future and Fellaini's. Both men have ambitions of Champions League football but, if Tottenham defeat West Ham on Monday night, Everton will be nine points adrift of fourth place.
Fellaini, who remains interested in a move to Chelsea, expressed his frustration at English referees before this match. The midfielder was in the wars again here, particularly when he was kicked by Bradley Johnson, leading to his leg bleeding, but referee Lee Mason took no action.
The Belgian meted out his own punishment by striking Johnson seconds later, then showed the referee his cut leg. It was an uncomfortable reminder of the Stoke City game in which Fellaini became frustrated by the way he was being challenged, ultimately leading to him losing his cool and being banned for butting Ryan Shawcross.
"I don't think Fellaini ever gets the protection he deserves," Moyes said. "I think he's picked on quite regularly because he's noticeable."
Moyes was also angry at full time, confronting the referee and refusing to shake his hand, after 20 seconds more than the allocated three minutes of added time were allowed. In those additional seconds, Norwich scored their winner.
It means that Tuesday night's FA Cup replay against Oldham, and a potential home quarter-final against Wigan, take on added significance. With question marks remaining over Moyes's own future at Everton, he has made it clear that reaching the top four or winning the FA Cup is his desire to help match his ambitions.
Familiar failings undid Everton here. Midfielder Steven Naismith explained: "We have lost a few late goals from balls into the box and we should have worked the goalie a bit more."
Norwich tested Everton physically and their two late goals, in reply to Leon Osman's first-half header, came due to their aerial threat. Kei Kamara headed in the equaliser from a Robert Snodgrass corner then, with Everton noticeably dropping deeper, Sébastien Bassong nodded down a high ball for Grant Holt to stab in the winner.
In the build-up to the game, manager Chris Hughton had denied falling out with Holt. After scoring his winner, Holt added: "There are a lot of things being said about us not being as lively as last year as a group, or whatever, but that's a load of rubbish."
Newcomer Kamara has certainly settled well, becoming the first man from Sierra Leone to score in the Premier League.

Women's Golfers Rope In A Ninth
April 8, 2008
CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Northern Colorado's womens' golf team shot its lowest round of the tournament during the third round of the 2008 Wyoming Cowgirl Classic on Tuesday, April 8.
But the Bears still fell a spot in the final team standings.
Northern Colorado came into Tuesday eighth out of 16 teams after finishing 30 strokes behind event leader, and Big Sky team, Eastern Washington on Monday, April 7. But the Bears' 315 in the tournament's final 18 holes dropped them to ninth with a 956 (+92) three-round team total -- right behind Big Sky foe Montana (952; +88).
Eastern Washington maintained its first-day lead on Tuesday and edged out the host Cowgirls for event honors in the second-annual tournament with a 912 (+48) three-round total.
Individually, Jenny Henderson had the best tournament for the Bears. She entered Tuesday's final 18 holes tied for 25th, but her 1-over-par 73 in round three catapulted her all the way to a tie for 13th. In all, Henderson finished +15 for the tournament with rounds of 80 and 78 to go along with the 73.
Heather Daviner was the Bears' second-highest finisher, coming in tied for 37th with a 241 (82, 78, 81). Also competing for the Bears were Katie Avery, who tied for 42nd (77, 83, 83); Shayna Godfrey, tied for 48th (83, 80, 82); and Abby McNeley, tied for 68th (89, 83, 79.).
Northern Colorado will next compete in the Big Sky Preview women's golf tournament on Thursday, April 10, at Foothills Golf Club in Phoenix, Ariz. The 18-hole tournament will serve as a primer for the upcoming conference championship, which will be played at Foothills from Monday to Tuesday, April 21 to 23. Eight of the nine Big Sky teams will compete in the event, which will also include a practice round on Wednesday, April 9. Portland State is the only Big Sky team not competing in the Preview, because the Vikings are set to compete in a tournament at Stanford on Friday and Saturday, April 11 and 12.

Cameron Diaz planning holiday for Gwyneth Paltrow
Cameron Diaz is reportedly planning a girls' holiday to cheer up her newly-single friend Gwyneth Paltrow.
Cameron Diaz is organising a girls' holiday to help Gwyneth Paltrow get over her marriage split.
The 'Other Woman' actress is keen to cheer up her friend following the end of her 10-year marriage to Chris Martin and is enlisting several of their mutual friends to whisk her away for a relaxing break.
A source said: ''Cameron is currently rallying the troops. She wants Reese Witherspoon, Gucci Westman and Jennifer Aniston, although she's filming a lot.
''She wants them just to relax, have fun and make Gwyneth laugh. They're currently talking about the Italian Riviera.''
As well as Cameron, the 'Iron Man 3' actress has relied a lot on 'Horrible Bosses' star Jennifer during her marriage troubles, and regularly stayed with her pal before she and Chris split for good.
A source told Grazia magazine: ''Jen's known about their marriage problems for a long time. And ever since they announced their split she has been on the end of a phone round the clock offering support and guidance.
''She was also instrumental in helping Gwyneth while she and Chris were deciding whether to end things.
''It was great for Gwyneth to escape [to Jen's] when she and Chris needed time apart. And in the past few weeks, since returning from holiday, she has also spent nights at Jen's. It's nice for Jen to have the company too, as her fiance Justin [Theroux] is away in New York. After filming her movie 'Cake'. Jen heads back and they sit on the veranda and drink wine.''

It's not a bad move for them, since they are a historically bad team with nothing to play for. It would definitely increase their TV audience, which was a record low on Sunday when it went up against the football games. Barely 1,000 households watched the Astros play.
Clemens has one stipulation, though. He wants to pitch against a contender.
Astros owner Jim Crane has said he wouldn't pitch Clemens against a contender, most likely because he would want to use a game against a mediocre opponent in order to maximize the attendance and viewership he would gain by featuring Clemens in the game.
But still, if it comes down to starting him against a contender or not starting him at all, the Astros are likely to poince on whatever opportunity they can get to give fans a reason to show up.
If you ask me, I just think Clemens is pushing back the clock for his Hall of Fame eligibility. If he stays retired, he would be eligible for induction when the next vote comes around. It's likely that the voters would pass on him because of his performance enhancing drug use, and that would be incredibly embarrassing for the man with the most Cy Young awards in MLB history.
Instead, if he pitches a single game this year, he'll push back his eligibility by 5 years, and perhaps things will change between now and then.
At some point, people are going to start making exceptions, since there really isn't ANYONE whom we can truly call clean without a shadow of a doubt.
Perhaps 5 years down the road, people will be more sympathetic to Clemens and the rest of the juicers. And that's exactly why the old man is back on the mound. Don't let anyone fool you, there's no other real reason.

By Sonu Wasu - email
The family of Tucson shooting victim Christina Taylor-Green decided to trademark their daughter's name after immense publicity surrounding the Jan. 8 tragedy.
A spokeswoman for the family said they wanted to protect their child's memory.
While the family has rights to their daughter's name, a Tucson photographer said they do not have rights to some of her pictures.
Jon Wolf, who had taken portraits of Christina and her family, is suing several media outlets over the use of pictures taken by him in his studio.
Even though the pictures were sold to the family, and given to the media by the family, Wolf said he owned the copyrights to those pictures.
Wolf did not return our phone calls seeking a comment.
In an online blog, Wolf stated that he could not imagine the pain the Green family was enduring.
"We are currently raising funds through the use of her portrait to be donated to a Tucson charity," wrote Wolf.
That charity was Tu Nidito, a place of healing for sick children and their families.
Executive Director Liz McCusker said she declined the donation after finding out the money was attached to a lawsuit.
"When we found out like everybody else that there was litigation associated with it, drawing into the Green family, we just couldn't be a party to that," McCusker said.
A spokeswoman for the family said while they were upset to hear about the litigation involving the pictures, the case did not directly affect them, so they had no comment.

Obama wins back the right to indefinitely detain under NDAA
July 17 2013
The Obama administration has won the latest battle in their fight to indefinitely detain US citizens and foreigners suspected of being affiliated with terrorists under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012.
Congress granted the president the authority to arrest and hold individuals accused of terrorism without due process under the NDAA, but Mr. Obama said in an accompanying signing statement that he will not abuse these privileges to keep American citizens imprisoned indefinitely. These assurances, however, were not enough to keep a group of journalists and human rights activists from filing a federal lawsuit last year, which contested the constitutionality of Section 1021, the particular provision that provides for such broad power.
A federal judge sided with the plaintiffs originally by granting an injunction against Section 1021, prompting the Obama administration to request an appeal last year. On Wednesday this week, an appeals court in New York ruled in favor of the government and once again allowed the White House to legally indefinitely detain persons that fit in the category of enemy combatants or merely provide them with support.

Put That Cookie Down: The Sequel.
It's the sequel we've all been waiting for, I guess: Jingle All The Way, the perennially popular 1996 Christmas caper which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, is to get the sequel treatment.
Eighteen years after the original, 20th Century Fox have finally listened to the will of the people (or at least, fans of Youtube remixes) and have commissioned a follow-up film to the enjoyably naff festive classic.
Sadly, the Governator won't be appearing again in arguably his most famous and admired role as mattress salesman Howard Langston. In his place will be comedian and redneck favourite Larry The Cable Guy, and, er, WWE wrestler Santino Marella.
Since the sequel is straight-to-DVD and there are no plans for a theatrical release, Jingle All The Way 2: Jingle Harder (our guess at the title) will soon be coming to a bargain basement near you come Christmas time.

Whitney Houston has left behind all of her money and possessions to her 19-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina .
TV's Inside Edition reports that Whitney's will, which was made public Wednesday, stipulates that the singer's money be placed into a trust for Bobbi Kristina. She'll have access to some of the money when she turns 21. When she turns 25, she'll get more of the trust money, and then she'll have access to the rest of the dough when she's 30.
The will also leaves for Bobbi Kristina her mother's furniture, jewelry and other possessions.
Whitney's ex-husband and Bobbi Kristina's father, Bobby Brown , is mentioned in the will, but the singer did not leave him anything.
Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston , is named the executor of the will, which was originally written in 1993 and amended seven years later.
Whitney died February 11 in Los Angeles at the age of 48. A cause of the death has not yet been revealed.

Andy Griffith led by example on the set of his television show, teaching a 6-year-old boy that true leadership requires not only confidence and hard work but also humility, Academy Award-winning film director Ron Howard said in recorded remarks Sunday.
Howard's remarks were to be played during a Griffith tribute at the 23rd annual Mayberry Days celebration in Mount Airy. It's the first Mayberry Days held since Griffith, a native of Mount Airy, died July 3 at the age of 86 at his home in Manteo. The three-day event typically attracts 25,000 to 30,000 people.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Emmys 2012: The Presenters Gift Lounge Backstage At The Nokia Theatre (Day 1)
"Andy's impact on my life and my approach to my work really can't be measured," Howard said. "The balance that he sustained between focused, creative effort and this overt, playful enjoyment that he got out of working hard with people that he liked, doing a show he loved, was something that I hope I'll always remember and emulate."
Howard played Opie Taylor, the red-headed son of Sheriff Andy Taylor, on "The Andy Griffith Show." The CBS TV show aired from 1960 to 1968, starting when Howard was 6 years old and ending when he was 14.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Last Resort: Scenes & Stars
Tanya Jones, executive director of the Surry Arts Council, said Howard reached out to her and told her he wanted to "do something for Andy," adding that he knew Griffith loved his hometown. He emailed Jones after she had reached out to his father, actor Rance Howard, for help with the celebration that's held in the North Carolina town that inspired the fictional town of Mayberry.
Ron Howard hinted that what he learned on "The Andy Griffith Show" helped him with his future career, which includes an Academy Award for directing "A Beautiful Mind." Griffith, he said, established an inclusive set that allowed him, at age 6, "to feel safe, comfortable enough to participate and then to be able to witness and learn so much about the collaborativeprocess — the value of originality, the discipline of form and the bursts of individual inspiration that good moments and scenes are built on."
Rance Howard sent a statement praising Griffith's character to be read at the tribute.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Emmys 2012: The Presenters Gift Lounge Backstage At The Nokia Theatre (Day 2)
"Andy was an excellent role model, the guardian of good taste and humor," wrote Rance Howard. "He loved to laugh out loud and long but his motto was, 'I don't want the public to laugh at us, I want them to laugh with us.'"
Griffith was recovering from a heart attack when Rance Howard's wife, Jean, died. Griffith flew with his wife, Cindi, to California so he could speak at the memorial service.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Emmys 2012: Color On The Carpet
"That's the kind of friend Andy was," Rance Howard wrote. "Yes, he played an enormous role in our lives."
Ron Howard said he learned during the eight seasons "how much care had to go into making a program if it was going to be truly worthy of an audience's time.
"…He helped me to understand that high achievement and leadership require confidence, yes, hard work, absolutely. But it could be gained while still maintaining humility, humanity and a joyous appreciation for those around him. Like so many others, I'm going to miss you, Andy."
With his last words for the crowd, Howard mimicked Griffith, who was famous for telling the audience three words at the end of his shows: "I appreciate it."

The pouty rebellious rocker teen of Ozzy Osbourne from that MTV reality show transformed herself into a lady – at least for "Dancing With the Stars."
Kelly Osbourne (with her loving parents watching) actually did a respectably elegant Viennese Waltz. "That was the most fun I ever had," she said. She will certainly be around awhile given her fan base and her surprising skill.
My other observations:
Quirky bird: Macy Gray. She is not much of a dancer and her goofy facial expressions are distracting. Yes she's oddly fun to watch given how she embodies eccentricity.
Sexy bird: Mya. She may have not done a proper Viennese Waltz and peeved Len Berman (a three point discrepancy from the other judges, which almost never happens). But who cares? She can dance – and look hot doing so.
Lame bird: Kathy Ireland is a likely goner. She had zero hip action for the salsa. Her lack of athleticism really showed.
Not so magical bird: Melissa Joan Hart has some potential but she was fairly forgettable.
Who bird? No clue who Joanna Krupa is but she has some slinky skills. Debi Mazar is an actor with only a few minor bonafides and may also fall through the cracks if Ireland survives.
And how did "Centerfold" become a song to do a cha cha?

Who cares. I thought there would be a pic of Kathy Ireland. I know now my error.

Kathy Ireland, best looking redhead since Ann-Margret. However, not even 10% of Margret's talent for dancing. But, as a 40 something guy who remembers her 80's Sports Ilustrated Swimsuit photos, I am so glad to see her back in shape and looking great. Not sure why she got rid of her red hair. Not a big deal if she is gone, I like Joanna as the hottest woman on the show, with Natalie Coghlan next. Kathy looks great, but can go.
As for KellyOsborn, not good looking. I will stop watching when the three above are all gone.

macy gray is just plain stoned and will be gone very early

Joanna Krupa cannot possibly win the trophy. The most important group of viewers/voters are middle-aged women who will vote against hot young models every time. A model can only win this show if she has children (ex. Brooke Burke). However, to win the trophy you also have to be a good dancer, and Kathy Ireland does not appear to be the best at this point.
September 23rd, 2009
12:46 am
Macy Gray was stoned out of her mind. I can't believe they would let her go on like that. Her comment was rude and disgusting. Hopefully she'll be gone soon. I'm not sure why they would want a One Hit Wonder on the show anyway. Kelly and Mya are great! The only guy that's any good so far is Donny.
September 23rd, 2009
1:11 am
Macy isn't stoned. She is just an eccentric. It is why she is such a great entertainer – a weird artistic. She is hardly a one hit wonder. You must not keep abreast of the music scene. It will be between Kelly and Mya. They wiil do all they can to GIVE it to Kelly. Just like when they new Mel B was the clear winner.

Stunning, who knew Kelly Osborn could dance ? I laughed out loud when I heard she was going to be on the show, the joke is on me now.Never heard of Joanna but I would have crowned her the winner last night. Don't hate her because she is beautiful. Maybe the aspirin-azz crowd will vote for her because they want to be her !!!

R: You don't know that she was stoned do you? Dancing With The Stars has long since lost it's appeal. It's more about likability than anything else. I personally would rather watch the professional dancers for 3 hours, because they know their stuff and are just stunning–the men and the women.
September 23rd, 2009

Hahha, and yolanda devereux, I agree with u! Macy is just eccentric, but honestly she does not belong on the show..along with Tom Delay, Ashley Hamilton, Kathy Ireland, Debbie Mazar, and Melissa Joan Hart!
Mya, Kelly, Joanna, Aaron, Donny, and Possibly Mark will stick around. Louie??

I'm really not sure that Arthas is redeemable at this point. He's not like Kerrigan, who was corrupted against her will. Arthas was committing atrocities and selling his soul to sinister artifacts even before he became an agent of the Scourge. He was pretty unpleasant even before he became the Lich King's slave/bodymate.

The Fastest Workout
There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch: Make That Single Set Count! continued...
"For the average person who wants to look good in a swimsuit or run around with the kids on the weekends, one set is a very valid option," says Hass. One-set proponents hope the latest findings will inspire more people to lift weights. These days, after all, strength training is considered practically a necessity for good health.
Lifting weights kicks the body's metabolism into a higher gear, making weight maintenance easier. It also helps to prevent osteoporosis by slowing the natural rate of age-related bone loss and muscle wasting. A study in the February 2000 issue of Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association even suggests that weight training can help lower blood pressure.
Some Say That More Is Still Better
Although experts agree that one-set training works in the short term and is probably sufficient for general fitness, not all strength researchers fully endorse the idea. "Everyone wants a quick fix, but you have to look at the long haul," says William Kraemer, director of the human performance laboratory at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. Kraemer's research on trained athletes suggests that after four to six months, one-set exercisers tend to plateau, whereas multiple-set exercisers continue to gain strength.
But nobody has studied novice or recreational lifters over the long term, so questions remain about how long average Joes and Janes can continue to benefit from one-set workouts. The experts at the American College of Sports Medicine straddle the fence, saying that one set is sufficient for healthy adults, but "multiple-set regimens may provide greater benefit if time allows."
For his part, Kraemer advocates "periodization," a technique where you change your program -- including the number of sets and repetitions -- every two to four weeks. For example, you might start with one set of 10 to 12 reps, then do two sets of 8 to 10 reps, then two or three sets of 6 to 8 reps, then three to five sets of 3 to 5 reps. Not only is this type of program more effective than one-set training because it challenges your muscles in more diverse ways, Kraemer says, but it's also less boring. "When you do the same thing over and over, you don't look forward to it. It's like eating apple pie every night."
While Hass agrees that a multiple-set program of this type can build more strength than a standard one-set routine, he doesn't think most people have the time or inclination to follow such a regimen. His scaled-down program, he says, is simply more realistic for most time-pressed Americans who struggle to do any strength training at all.
Even Kraemer's results, in fact, bear this out. When his "periodization" study ended, he says, most of the three-set subjects were eager to cut back their routines. "I'd see them in the gym and most of them were happy to go back to one set," he says.
