~Tasty Dish~ and I enjoyed preparing this bread yesterday for Elevenses. Subbed whole milk for evaporated and 1 cup of spring whole wheat for regular. Cranberries reduced to 3/4 cup. Made two loaves and the loaves baked in about 30 minutes. Tried it with this spread: Flavored Butter: Saffron and Cardamom Butter Yum! Made for Veg Tag/November.
We & our guest really enjoyed this (for us) unusual focaccia, & although I pretty much followed the recipe on down, I did use a generous 1 1/2 cups of the dried cranberries! A very satisfying winter holiday treat, & one I'm happy to make again! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! [Made & reviewed in the PRMR Holiday Special]

Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
In Friday's New York Times, Alan Schwarz profiled Geo
Soto, and we learn that despite being born in Puerto Rico and attending
high school there, Soto played his first "significant game" in New
York. The Cub catcher lived with his family in the Bronx from the time
he was four until age eight.
Soto remembers it very clearly. It might have been just
below the reservoir. Or maybe down near that ice rink. But it was
definitely in Manhattan's Central Park.
"It was awesome," said Soto... "You go with your dad to
the practice field, but never in my life I'd ever put a uniform on and
played with other kids. I felt like, 'Wow, it's really happening—I'm
going to play baseball.'"
Schwarz also writes about Soto's rapport with the Cubs pitching staff.
In part of because of his excellent English, Soto handled
the veteran pitching staff with such aplomb that many Cubs considered
him the team's backbone and most valuable player—despite the presence
of established stars like Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez and Alfonso
Soriano. Soto knew when to talk and when not to.
Regarding Soto's hitting prowess, Schwarz mentions
Soto's significant weight loss leading up to his monster offensive season at Iowa
(.353-26-109) in 2007.
[Soto's weight] ballooned to as much as 250 pounds. It was only after losing weight that he began to emerge...
"Nobody was high on him after 2006, myself included,"
said Gary Hughes, a special assistant to the Cubs' general manager, Jim
Hendry. "But there was a different Geovany Soto out there."
The new Soto had more flexibility through his midsection,
allowing him to turn on pitches, and the stamina to keep calling them
deep into games and seasons.
Soto is hardly the first player to see a correlation
between his weight and his baseball numbers. Still, with all the stats
sites and baseball reference books out there, I can't ever recall
seeing one that tracked changes in a player's weight from season to
season. Maybe it's not possible to get legitimate numbers anyway: teams
in all sports are notorious for fudging those figures to effect.
(Basketball teams, of course, are also known to misstate their players'
But if it was possible to gather this data, I think we
would be able to establish some interesting connections between
particular players and particular performance levels.

Did the paper of record end a sentence with a preposition on a paragraph talking about excellent English?
I'll show myself out...
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
Maybe they were trying to rhyme "not to" with Soto.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
Actually, ending a sentence with a preposition is considered proper. See Chicago Manual of Style 5.169: "The traditional caveat of yesteryear against ending sentences with prepositions is, for most writers, an unnecessary and pedantic restriction. As Winston Churchill famously said, 'That is the type of arrant pedantry with which I shall not put....' The 'rule' prohibiting terminal prepositions was an ill-founded superstition."
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
pedantic restrictions like a motherfucker.
*goes around giving out lots of high-5s*
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
I saw the Pedantic Restrictions play a great show at the Whiskey A Go Go in LA back in 81 or 82. Wall of Voodoo opened IIRC.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
it's not that I really care, but it's what you always hear...plus I thought the rule was it was okay if it was part of verb.
something like..."not that he was aware of..."
Anyway, I was just busting balls...I certainly don't have the right to be correcting other people's grammar.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
I'm not the greatest with my grammar rules, but my sense is that at this point split infinitives and ending sentences with prepositions is more a matter of style than of grammar rules. I try not to end a sentence with a preposition because A. it usually doesn't have a good ring to it and B. it's become a silly social convention that people notice, even on baseball blogs. The NYT writer should have avoided it for both of those reasons, as much or moreso than for any questionable grammar...
Ok, back to work here. woo.
Oh, and Nice Article.

Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
yeah...i just have no idea what it says, though...the color scheme on it (and the glossy material it's printed on) makes the whole thing a neon blur.

Re: Schilling
Phil Rogers on how Chicago White Sox Dr. Anthony Romeo repaired CURT SCHILLING'S SHOULDER. (and he could return to baseball the second half of this season)
Says, this procedure, biceps tenodesis, could make shoulder injuries as fixable as elbow injuries.
Re: Schilling
Navigator, you misread that article...Dr. Craig Morgan did Schilling's surgery. He was assisted by one of Dr. Romeo's associates. They apparently used Dr. Romeo's technique. The operation isn't new it's just a minor variation on technique that is "new".
Re: Schilling
Yeezus, I was just steering you to the article.
Re: Schilling
No, you were steering and summarizing. You summarized wrong.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
Phil Rogers sunday article mentions Dr. Tony Romeo (he's officially on the WSux payroll as one of their team physicians, he's a shoulder specialist from Rush) in the context of the operation that Curt Schilling had (biceps tenodesis). Even though the surgery was done in Boston (by Dr. Morgan).
This operation removes the biceps from where it originates above the glenoid (shoulder socket) because it's frayed or partially torn and takes the tendon where it rests more proximally on the upper humerus (arm bone) and re-anchors it there. The frayed origin can then be removed. This keeps the tendon from completely rupturing and gives the long head origin of the biceps a secure origin again. The short head origin of the biceps attaches at a different location (coracoid process) and usually doesn't tear.
Biceps tenodesis has been around a long time and the techniques have improved modestly with smaller incisions. The improvements due more to technology advancements such as suture anchors and interference screw fixation options than anything (at least for that operation). These tools have developed in response to shoulder arthroscopy which has seen many advances in the last decade. The Knee joint was the area that had the first wave of advancements before the shoulder became the "hot" area. Now the hip is in it's early development stages...hence the on and off decisions regarding whether ARo-d should have his hip labral tear fixed.
On WSCR sports update they said ARod WILL have surgery tuesday.
Expecting 6-9 weeks for recovery.
This is most likely what Utley had in the offseason so I'd expect if he does return that quickly it will be as a DH.
Re: Geovany Soto: the Cubs' Bronx Bomber
I was just steering you to the article.
not intending to pick...after all you are the Navigator and steering is your specialty.

FOX Sports @MLBONFOX
Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

Here is pretty much everything about Lewis Lapham in one single anecdote, in which, fresh out of Yale, he interviews for a job with the CIA: The first question he was asked in the interview was, "When standing on the 13th tee at the National Golf Links in Southampton, which club does one take from the bag?" "They wanted to make sure you were the right sort," Mr. Lapham recalled. He found the question off-putting and dropped his spy ambitions for journalistic ones (although he points out that he knew the right answer - a 7-iron). What the hell is Lou Dobbs doing now? He is reportedly talking to CNBC, about maybe having a show there? Lou Dobbs and Sheriff Joe in 2012! Advertisement And speaking of old TV guys doing things: Charlie Rose is going to be writing a column for the new Bloomberg-ed BusinessWeek! Strange, since they canned Maria Bartiromo and all her famous cronies already. Anyhow Charlie's column will "offer insights into and takeaways from" things, which is how he hits you from two angles. More college kids out of control, when it comes to journalism! The Arizona State J-School invited Sheriff Joe "Crazy Racist Xenophobic Joe" Arpaio to come talk, but he "was cut short Monday night when a group of protestors broke into song." Hopefully that song was Reggaeton. And finally: National Geographic Adventure is for sale. Sponsored Reply8 repliesLeave a reply

I just could not get into this book. Two of the characters' names sounded very similar, which was confusing, and the protagonist didn't seem very likeable. Read morePublished 2 months ago by Nancy A
Read the sample and thought I might enjoy but I was wrong. The sample was the only good part in the book. It was down hill from there. No direction. No reality. No characters. Read morePublished 8 months ago by xotic eyez

You are correct. The broker persists the messages for when the consumer returns. That means even if the broker goes away, any messages that it has seen up to that point would get persisted. When the broker comes back up, it would still have those messages ready to deliver to the consumer. Is that what you're looking for? Or are you looking for something where the broker goes away, can you still send the messages somewhere until the broker comes back up?

LVNV multiple Tradelines best approach
Hello, I have more than TL from LVNV with different OCs. For the purposes of dv letters, settlement attempts, disputes to how they are reporting them etc. is it best to treat each TL individually or treat it as one account since it is all the same JDB? I am guessing something like a dv letter is probably best to treat each TL separately, but any cases where you treat it as one? I.e. more leverage in a settlement attempt?
Hope this makes sense. Thank you!

The Popes against the Jews
The Popes Against the Jews
The Vatican's Role in the Rise of Modern Anti-Semitism
by David Kertzer
Alfred A Knopf, $27.95, 355 pp.
Two different though related books coexist uneasily within the covers of this volume by a Brown University historian, author of The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara (1997). The first is a compelling work of scholarship, based largely on David Kertzer's extensive research in the Vatican's own archives, documenting the church's policy toward the Jews in the territories where it held temporal power, and especially in Rome, during the first two-thirds of the nineteenth century. In this treatment, the material is presented dispassionately, without editorial comment, allowed to speak for itself. The dismal picture that emerges is indeed depressing, and sometimes infuriating.
Kertzer maintains that with the restoration of the Papal States in 1814 following the defeat of Napoleon's armies, there was an opportunity for a new policy in the exercise of papal power toward the Jews. But Pope Pius VII rejected the appeal of the Austrian government and the advice of his own secretary of state, following instead the conservative majority of the curia and reinstituting the worst aspects of the earlier status of Jews in the papal domain.
These included restoring the mandatory ghettos, particularly oppressive in Rome, where the overcrowded, squalid conditions seemed appalling even to a Vatican commission instructed to investigate. Also restored were the requirements of attendance at conversionary sermons and acts of ritual...

The new home of
More than 90 miles of award winning sandy beaches, sea warmed by the Gulf Stream, picturesque accessible islands, charming resorts and great cycling routes make up The Vendee. If this sounds good take a look at our lovely selection of villas in Vendee.
The Vendee is located on the Atlantic Coast in the Pays-de-la-Loire region of west central France and takes its name from the Vendee river. La Roche-sur-Yon is the regional capital. In 1804 Napoleon rebuilt the town and introduced a street layout that was regular and straight, quite unusual for France.
The coastline, which reaches more than 200 kilometres along the northern end of the Bay of Biscay, consists mostly of sandy beaches, many of which have been awarded blue flags for cleanliness. Les Sables d''Olonne, Saint Jean de-Monts and La Tranche-sur-Mer are among the popular resorts.
Les Sables d'Olonne was made popular by the aristocratic visitors that came here in the 19th century for the casinos and thermal baths. It also has a fine sandy beach, promenade and magnificent marina.
Saint Jean de Monts is perfect for families looking for a day out with the children, here there is the Plage des Demoiselles with its extensive sandy beach and the Atlantic Toboggan theme park. Attracting almost 1.5 million visitors a year, Puy du Fou, a historical theme park in the north of the departement, is one of Vendees most popular attractions.
Noirmoutier Island is linked to the mainland at low tide by three miles of cobbled road which is submerged twice a day by the sea, however there's also a handy bridge if you prefer. It's well worth visiting with 50 kilometres of beaches. It also has a long and interesting history going back to Roman times.
Inland Maillezais Cathedral is also worth a visit, and Vouvant has been named among France''s most beautiful villages. There are numerous other pretty churches, castles and villages in the departement.
Pine forests line many of the beaches, and these, together with the marked footpaths are ideal for hiking, cycling and other outdoor activities. There is a signposted cycling route along the coastal marshes and mudflats, where birdwatching is popular. Marais Potievin is an inland marshland famous for wildlife. Bocage''s rolling countryside, and the forests around Mervent village, provides further leisure opportunities for nature lovers. Fishing is popular on the lakes and rivers of the Vendee.
There are a number of small vineyards in the area; so why not try the Vendee''s most famous dish, Jambon-mogettes (ham with white beans) with a glass of local wine?
For accommodation see our collection of cottages in Vendee, and sample for yourself everything that Vendee has to offer.

I have to admit it, Owning this stock is like having a unruly and naughty, whimsical child that has mind of its own. It will not listen and run with the crowd.
The day like today this should have been up 4-5% like many other high risk stock.
Someone has just way too much control over share price and will not let it run until its objectives whatever they may be are met.
One thing for sure the dividend yield is now becoming less attractive at 3% They really have to bump it up to 5%
It would be idiotic to raise the dividend if XIN were buying back stock...which I suspect they are doing under $6.
You always suspect that Stinky and then find out, they never bought a one during specific quarters. Then what
do we hear from you when your dead wrong? Not a thing. Hey Stinky, you, Jeff, rvga and diawhatever should go
grab your pom-poms and start chanting "share buybacks", like the puppets you are. And you would look so cute
in your little shorts or skirts. What a picture.........Infn, hand me your drugs, maybe things would look better.

A snowy winter that caused a handful of school cancellations has pushed graduation back to late June for some local school districts.
Here's a district-by-district look at graduation dates:
East Lyme High School
The last day of school was originally set for June 11 but was moved tentatively to June 19 after five snow days this year. If there are more school cancellations, the days may be added to the end of the year. The Board of Education will set the graduation date at its April 7 meeting. Graduation last year was June 20.
Groton Public Schools
The last day of school will be June 18, followed by the Fitch High School graduation on June 20. The school calendar had eight days built in at the start of the year in case of snow, Superintendent Michael Graner said. Groton has used six of the eight snow days so far. Graner said he hopes winter is over, "But we've had snow in April. I don't want to jinx that." Graduation last year was June 21.
Ledyard High School
Though the last day of school has been pushed back from June 11 to June 20 because of the district's snow days this year, the June 21 graduation date will not change. Graduation was held last year on June 22.
Lyme-Old Lyme
High School
The last day of school has been moved tentatively to June 20 because of seven snow cancellations, but that could change with additional closures. The Board of Education will set the graduation date at its April 2 meeting. Graduation last year was June 21.
Montville High School
Montville will set the graduation date at its April school board meeting, but graduation is usually held on the last day of school. This year, that's expected to be June 19. That would be earlier than last year, when the last day of school and graduation were June 20.
New London High School
The school system has not yet set a date for graduation. The date will be determined in April, according to Chief Academic Officer Kate Ericson. Because of the five snow days the district logged this winter, the last day of school is scheduled for June 10. Last year's graduation was June 21, and district officials expect this year's graduation to be around the same date. One additional factor in scheduling the New London High School graduation is the availability of the facilities at the Coast Guard Academy, which the district prefers to use for its graduation ceremony.
North Stonington
Public Schools
Superintendent Peter Nero said the date for Wheeler High School graduation will be set officially in April after winter weather has subsided.
The district has had six snow days so far this school year, pushing back the tentative graduation date, and the last day of school, from June 13 to June 19. Graduation last year was held June 19.
Norwich Free Academy
For the second consecutive year, Norwich Free Academy has been forced to reschedule graduation after having eight snow days this school year. The original graduation date was June 13, and the new date is June 20.
St. Bernard
The last day of (regular) school at St. Bernard is May 30, which is also the graduation date. Students will have final exams June 2-5. On June 6, some students will have make-up exams. A school official said the snow did not influence these dates.
Stonington High School
Graduation was scheduled for June 12, but has been tentatively set for June 19 because of five snow days. The date could change if there are additional snow days.
Waterford High School
A date for graduation has not been scheduled. The district does not set "hard and fast" graduation dates, according to Joyce Cumming, assistant to the superintendent. Cumming said the Board of Education may discuss this year's graduation date at the board's April meeting. She said she does not anticipate a graduation date later than last year's, which was June 25. Graduation was relatively late last year due to school cancellations during storms last fall. This year, the district has seen six snow days, delaying the last day of school from June 10 to June 18.
Williams School
The Williams School's graduation takes place on June 4 at 3 p.m. at Palmer Auditorium at Connecticut College.

The Man Who Makes The Pictures Perfect
By KATE BETTS
Published: February 2, 2003
MADONNA and J.Lo depend on him. Annie Leibovitz and Steven Meisel won't print a picture without him. Anna Wintour and Graydon Carter shell out many thousands of dollars a year for his services. He's arguably one of the most powerful men in fashion, but he doesn't sit in the front row or wear designer clothes, and you certainly won't find him on the Style network coughing up deep thoughts about Gwen Stefani's Super Bowl outfit.
Come to think of it, though, there is probably no one who has such a close knowledge of Gwen Stefani, down to the pores of her powdered cheek.
This behind-the-scenes magician, more intimate with celebrity flesh than a personal trainer or a masseur, is Pascal Dangin, the digital retoucher for fashion's and Hollywood's most famous photographers. Some refuse to work with anyone else. On the glossy side of the newsstand just this month, he tweaked the covers of W, Harper's Bazaar and Allure.
In a field where designers, photographers and stylists want to be celebrated for their every flourish of innovation no matter how dubious -- topless models with vacuum cleaners, anyone? -- the French-born Mr. Dangin, the founder and chief executive of the foremost photo retouching business in the country, Box Studios in New York, cultivates his anonymity.
''I never want to talk about my work, because it's kind of taboo,'' he said. ''The people who benefit from my work do not benefit from me talking about it.''
While photo manipulation is more prevalent than ever in this digital age, when many laptops come with software to help get the red out of your mother-in-law's eyes, the extent of retouching practiced by glossy magazines is still little understood by readers. At the same time, insiders offer a shrug of indifference: of course the camera can be made to lie. Do you really think that's Kate Winslet's figure on the cover of British GQ this month?
''Hey, everybody wants to look good,'' said Mr. Dangin (pronounced dahn-ZHANN). ''Basically we're selling a product -- we're selling an image. To those who say too much retouching, I say you are bogus. This is the world that we're living in. Everything is glorified. I say live in your time.''
Although most newspapers, including The New York Times, forbid the distortion of news photographs in a lab or on a computer, at fashion magazines it has long been standard to throw in a little digital pixie dust to make a model's eyes bluer, her teeth whiter, her legs slimmer. Periodically, such highly tweaked images stir controversy, proving that the retoucher's skill is still viewed as something of a dark art. Ms. Winslet, who is well known for waxing content about her healthy womanly figure, was at the center of the latest flare-up when she complained of being overly slenderized for the GQ cover. ''The retouching is excessive,'' she was quoted as saying in The Daily Mail. ''I do not look like that, and more importantly, I don't desire to look like that.''
Dylan Jones, the editor in chief of British GQ, defended the retouching. ''I really don't see anything sinister in this,'' he said by e-mail. ''It's been going on for years. Essentially we all want glamour. We all want show business.'' A second controversy arose around the body-positive Ms. Winslet when Women's Wear Daily reported two weeks ago that her head had been digitally placed on the torso of a slimmer stylist on the cover of the January issue of Harper's Bazaar. The report was denied by the magazine and by a spokesman for Ms. Winslet.
That episode suggests that there are some lines that the image manipulators at glossy magazines will not cross. Mr. Dangin has on occasion pieced together a cover photo by putting the model's head on a different picture of her own body, but he rejects the Dr. Frankenstein brand of photo splicing.
''I would not put an actress's head on a stylist's body -- no!'' he said. He said it would be too hard to make such a composite convincing, and acknowledged that it would also raise an ethical question. ''People can get very upset,'' he said. ''They put it in the same pool as human cloning.''
Retouching was once an obscure and narrow practice by photographers who would cover skin and body imperfections in their prints using tiny brushes. Now it entails whole new realms, drawing on the power of computer technologies to improve light, color and contrast in photos, not to mention thighs and heads. Mr. Dangin retouches and prints the work of a dozen leading fashion photographers, including Michael Thompson, Mr. Meisel, Craig McDean, Steven Klein, Inez van Lamsweerde, Mario Sorrenti and David Sims. He also works with a handful of art photographers like Philip-Lorca diCorcia. Some photographers refuse to work with anyone else.
''He is much more than just a technician who removes pimples,'' said Mr. McDean, who had Mr. Dangin flatten the background and simplify the colors in a Madonna portrait to create a 50's look for a cover of Vanity Fair last year. ''He's a thinker, too. He's not someone who just pushes a button. There's some kind of soul in it, which is very rare. He can physically express himself through the computer.''

Sudanese Teacher Faces Death Penalty, Amnesty Says
A Sudanese teacher who provided aid to civilians affected by fighting between government forces and rebels in the oil-rich state of Southern Kordofan is facing the death penalty, Amnesty International said.
Jalila Khamis Koko, a member of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North rebel group, was charged with five criminal counts on Dec. 13, including "waging war against the state," the London-based rights group said today in an e-mailed statement. She's due to appear in Khartoum criminal court tomorrow, it said.
"Jalila Khamis Koko's detention appears to be part of a pattern of harassment and detention of activists from the Nuba Mountains and members of the SPLM-N," Audrey Gaughran, Amnesty's Africa director, said in the statement. "This needs to stop immediately,"
Amnesty said in a Dec. 12 report that more than 90 people, including 32 women, were arrested in the towns of Kadugli and Dilling in November. Fighting between government forces and rebels in Southern Kordofan broke out in June 2011 and spread to Blue Nile state. Insurgents loyal to the SPLM-N were formerly part of the army that fought a two-decade civil war that led to the south's independence last year.
Khamis Koko was arrested March 15 by National Security Services after providing humanitarian support to those fleeing fighting in Southern Kordofan, Amnesty said. She also appeared in a June 2011 online video calling for a cease-fire in the region.

Loved this. We were eating it all week!
Wow! Really great! The best pulled pork I ever had was in a place in Tennessee. It was vinegary and delicious, and this was it. I didn't have a whole bottle of ketchup, just half of a small one. So I put that in, added 8 oz. of tomato sauce, and rinsed the bottle out with water to make 44 fl. oz. like in the original recipe. I didn't go thru the butter and flour step at the beginning. Instead, at the end, I just threw in a smallish handful of Wondra and let it boil for a couple of minutes to get rid of the flour taste. For my next servings of this, I will probably serve open face, while the next time I make the recipe, I will buy sturdy rolls. Thank you for an incredible meal.
Made 1/2 a recipe,it was very good.Served it with a salad.It would be great for a group of people.

Disney Magic Cruise Review by WooPigCruiser: Very nice family cruise
Overall Member Rating
Very nice family cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
First, let me say that I LOVED my Disney Cruise and would go back again without hesitation. Having said that, here are some things I wish I had known.
I did not enjoy leaving from Galveston in January. Too little to do, no shopping (and I needed some things like sandals that aren't readily available in my area in January) and too cool. Our cruise was extremely late due to the port being fogged in. Our hotel handled it well but this is apparently a rare occurrence, so no one is ever 100% ready.
There were only 2 ports of call on this trip, which left a lot of sea days. That was fine but the weather in the open gulf was unseasonably cold and we could not enjoy the pool at all. The weather at Grand Cayman was perfect and Cozumel was a touch too hot. This itinerary really needed one more port of call. I loved Grand Cayman and can't wait to return. I would love to spend more time there. I enjoyed Cozumel but my husband did not. There was a nice mall right off the More pier but most of the vendors were cash-only. So were the taxis and the tour we found. We were surprised by this and were further warned tat ATM fees were astronomical. We did a lot less shopping at Cozumel than we planned because of this inconvenience.
The staff and food were awesome. The shows were top notch. I enjoyed watching movies and thought the crowds were much better movie crowds than theaters at home.
The bathroom style in he stateroom was nice. The hair dryer was a wired little thing like a vacuum cleaner and it was very little power and no adjustments.
The ship provided on board phones for calls and text messages. They are very old school, so I had to relearn how to text with just a keypad. Still, they gave us a lot of flexibility. Less

Really good! Everyone enjoyed this dish. Not too heavy, lots of flavor. I used Pesto with fresh basil from my yard. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This was delicious! I used Jalepeno Pesto from the Austin Pesto Company. It was to die for! I will definitely make this recipe again!
Very rich and yummy! I was looking far a recipe to use up some sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil. I just drained them before I chopped them. I also just lightly browned the chicken and then added the onions and mushrooms so they all finished cooking together. Too rich to eat too often but was enjoyed by kids and adults both! ***I have since made this with diced fresh tomatoes in place of sun dried and also added the whole jar of pesto (almost doubled the recipe amount). Also very yummy!
I used my own homemade pesto sauce and seasoned the chicken with breadcrumbs (dipping in an egg wash first) and then sauteed the chicken. This was an excellent pasta dish. My BF really liked it. I found the sauce easy to make. The sun-dried tomatoes really add alot to this dish. I will definitely make this dish again.
Excellent. The pesto cream sauce is delicious.
My family could not stop eating. My husband just kept telling me how wonderful it was. Thank you!

that site looks pretty much where I want to be........thanks for the tip!
Yes tried ebay, but they all seem to be generic type covers, and I just know they'll look crap, and overbig. Only just bought Fiesta so never dealt with ford car before, but wondered if anyone made fiesta specific covers... thanks for the suggestion though...
boleyuk posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi... I have a 55 1.4 zetec climate. I have rather a 'muddy' hobby, and want some heavy duty seat covers for both front and rear. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, but I cannot find anywhere which sells them specifically for my car, I dont want generic ones as they will no doubt be oversized and look rubbish! can anyone suggest anywhere i can try?

Great shocks, like the adjustability. Sprayed the outside with clearcoat like I read online because I'm in the northeast snow and salt region. Packed the adjustment knob with grease like I read also. Knob can be tough to turn and settings could be better identified. I often had trouble remembering what setting I had them on. Front installation could be tough if the old shocks hardware is rusted on top. We'll see how they hold up when the snow flies.
