The surnames represented here make a brief appearance in our line as direct line ancestors. But they are part of the mosaic and must be included. And, of course, we love them as much as all the others! BLANCHET Renč was born about 1642 in Avanneau, La Rochelle, France to Renč & Marie Jeanne MARIE, about whom nothing eles is known. His immigration date is a mystery.2
Marie was baptized 24 October 1644 in Québec; her parents were Louis SEDILOT & Marie GRIMOULT. Marie had first married Julien Trotier; the union took place 16 August 1660 in Québec City. The couple had two children before Julien died sometime before September 1670.2,7
René and Marie were married either 21 September 1670 (Genealogy of Canada) or sometime in 1676 (Tanguay). Their children were daughters Jeanne Judith and SIMONE.2,7
Renč Blachet died about 1683, although Tanguay lists this event as happening in 1704. The latter could not have been possible, as Marie married notary Antoine Adhémar on 8 February 1684. Late in that same year, a daughter was born to them. Marie Sedilot died sometime before January 1687.7LAFOND Étienne was the son of Pierre & Françoise PRIEUR of St. Laurent de la Barričre, St. Onge, France, where he was born in 1615; nothing further known about his parents. Marie was born about 1629 in Mortagne, France, daughter of Gaspard BOUCHER & Nicole LEMAINE.2,6
This couple married 30 Jan 1645 at Quebec City. Their daughter was Françoise.2,6
Étienne was buried 15 September 1665 at Batiscan; Marie's death details are not known.2LESIEUR Charles was born about 1647 to Julien & Catherine LE SACHÉ; his place of origin is unknown. He was a royal notary and tax prosecutor as well as a fur trader.2,5

Julien was born in 1679 to Charles & Françoise LAFOND.2 Along with his brother Charles, he founded what is now the town of Yamachiche.5
Simone BLANCHET was born about 1676 to René & Marie SEDILOT1.
The couple were married 10 January 1701 in Batiscan. Julien signed the marriage record; Simone did not. Their daughter was Marie Josephe LESIEUR.1,2
Julien was buried 17 August 1715 in Rivičre-du-Loup, Quebec.

A statistical meta-analysis of 146 independent study results found that the Transcendental Meditation program is significantly more effective in reducing trait anxiety than concentration or contemplation, or other techniques. Reference: Journal of Clinical Psychology 45: 957–974, 1989.
University students who learned the TM-Sidhi program, in comparison to control students from another university, increased significantly on three measures of personal development and psychological health—increased creativity, increased autonomy, and increased intrinsic spirituality. The TM-Sidhi program participants also improved significantly on an overall measure of well-being and a measure of psychological integration in comparison to the control students. Reference: Modern Science and Vedic Science 1: 471–487, 1987.
Patients suffering from post-traumatic stress problems who learned the Transcendental Meditation program showed significant reduction in depression after four months, in contrast to others who were randomly assigned to receive psychotherapy. Reference: Journal of Counseling and Development 64: 212–215, 1985.
Individuals who practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique showed significantly increased skin resistance during the practice, in contrast to controls. Skin resistance is an electrophysiological measure of calmness or restfulness. Reference: Physiology & Behavior 35: 591–595, 1985.

Blog Request: Are Poetry Contests Actually a "Poetry Lottery?"
Quote from a friend who is a poet: I'm getting out of the contest route; it's the poetry lottery.
When my friend commented on entering contests, he was feeling annoyed he hadn't won yet. He defined a lottery as "any scheme for the distribution of prizes by chance." While I understand his frustration, I disagree with the word "lottery."
Now while I admit wholeheartedly that much of winning is luck and timing, I don't feel poetry contests are lotteries because you *can* do better by being a stronger writer. You can do better by having an excellent manuscript.
I know when I buy a lottery ticket at the store I will not have better odds of winning because I
1) did my hair that morning
2) smiled at the cashier and used manners
3) paid with a crisp dollar bill instead of one of those faded one
4) pronounced the word "lottery ticket" correctly and used interesting words to ask to purchase one.
When you submit to a poetry contest, you can do better or have your manuscript chosen as a winner because:
1) You write great poems.
2) You put care into manuscript and it is free of errors.
3) You followed the guidelines for the contest.
4) The order of your manuscript is interesting and makes sense.
5) You wrote great poems.
I think if you decide to go the contest route here are the first questions you should ask yourself--
1) Are my poems strong enough?
***If you're not sure, ask someone you trust who will 1) not harm your artist's heart and 2) tell you the truth. OR submit your work to journals to see if anyone accepts it-- another good sign your work is well, working.
2) What is my vision for this manuscript and it is complete?
****If you don't feel your manuscript is complete, you may want to save yourself some $$ and not submit it. If you're not sure if it's complete, send it to a few of your favorite contests and see how the editors respond. Was there a personal note? Was it a finalist? All good info to help you know you're on the right track.
3) Does this press have a similar aesthetic in what they are publishing to what I'm writing?
****There some great indie presses publishing some edgy, funky, alternative, experimental work. This is not what I am writing, so I did not send my manuscript to them.
4) Am I ready to have this manuscript published by this press?
****I've been surprised to have people tell me (after they've *won* a poetry prize) they are not sure they want the press that chose their work to publish it.
"But you submitted it to them," I say.
Well, that was before I thought it was good enough to be taken! I didn't consider that I'd win!
So a few things to consider as you submit.
And while I don't believe poetry contests ARE a lottery, it can feel like one. It can feel like you will never ever win. I have felt this. Other better poets than myself have felt this too. But they've kept submitting, either to contests or open submissions. Even when they have been a bridesmaid again and again.
It's not always easy.
Don't believe the Poets and Writers stories where a writer said, "I just submitted it to two presses..." Writers are notoriously forgetful or fast and loose with the facts. We can be the unreliable narrators. We have egos and soft hearts that don't want to remember the rejection, but there was and there will be.
If someone is telling you getting a book published is easy, don't buy that cow because it's really bull.
So some final thoughts on entering poetry contests--
No, it's not a lottery.
Yes, it's competitive.
Yes, it's possible.
No, it's not the route for everyone.
Yes, it can feel good to have a prize-winning book right from the start.
No, not all books that go on to greatness have won book awards.
No, contests are not the only way.
Yes, you too could be a winner.
More on this topic coming this month (along with my favorite contest recommendations...)
5 comments:
A friend of mine was part of the jury in a poetry contest. He told me there was a poet who was much better than the others, but she lived too far away, in another country, so she couldn't be there for the prize ceremony. So they gave the prize to a "less good" poet, and she only got a honorable mention. After that, I could no longer trust poetry contests.
By the way, I have two poetry blogs, one in English and other in Portuguese:

Yes, this nation needs something to celebrate, but a big hoopla over a second-term inaugural is not the ticket.
There should be a law: No super-whoopee inaugurations for second-term presidents.
The whole point is for the president to put his hand on a Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution. President Obama already did that four years ago and enough people thought he was doing a good enough job that they re-elected him.
But custom dictates a monster rally in the nation�s capital. This time, Obama has asked for corporate contributions to help pay for a big blast. So much for we the people funding a people�s party, which drew 1.8 million people in 2009.
Also, January in Washington is cold. It is always cold on Inauguration Day. Travelers from far parts of the realm come to town totally unprepared for how cold it is. They get frostbite. They get lost. They look in vain for a downtown Wal-Mart to buy scarves and mittens. They stand for hours in crowded Metro stations waiting for overcrowded trains. (Taxi drivers have fled to Florida.)
The highlight after the oath of office is the speech. Seldom are second-term speeches riveting, although they can be long. Very long. Did I mention it is held outdoors and the weather is cold?
In 1841, William Henry Harrison spoke outside the Capitol for one hour and 45 minutes in a snowstorm. One month later, he died of pneumonia. Our first president, George Washington, was no dummy. His second inaugural address was only 135 words.
Obama has promised to keep his second inaugural address under 20 minutes. After all, in February he gets to give the State of the Union speech before Congress. It is held inside the Capitol where it is warm. Besides, most people at the swearing- in want to hear Beyonce sing.
After the speech and a lunch in the Capitol comes the parade. Every four years, weeks before Inauguration Day, carpenters start building a giant reviewing stand in front of the White House. It has seats, carpet, miles of glass and heaters. The day after the parade they start tearing it down.
It is now traditional for the president and first lady somewhere along the parade route to get out of the presidential limousine, which this year will sport a District of Columbia license plate reading �Taxation without representation� because D.C. is a ward of the federal government. This walk terrifies the Secret Service, so manholes are locked down, trash receptacles are spirited away and cadres of guys with guns are on nearly every rooftop along the route from the Capitol to the White House. True, it is exciting for high school bands and girls on horseback to be asked to appear in the parade. But after waiting in outlying parking lots for hours, by the time they pass by the reviewing stand in front of the White House, their little feet are frozen and their parents are worried sick.
The president and his family and corporate sponsors and friends sit in the heated stands to watch the bands and horses pass by. Sadly, there are no giant floats made out of 50, 000 flowers. The president tries desperately not to look at his watch. It is now customary for many VIPs to raffle off their parade-seat tickets.
The term Inaugural Ball has a romantic ring. People think �Cinderella.� In truth, these events are horrible, held in crowded public buildings. It is difficult to get to the soft drinks and potato chips, let alone move or dance. Women who have mistakenly worn fancy high-heeled shoes are miserable. The highlight is when the president and first lady arrive and dance for a few seconds and then disappear. Former President Bill Clinton�s second inauguration featured 14 balls, although Obama�s has only two official balls: one for the military and one for 35,000. The evening ends with a mad crush at the coat check and frantic VIPs trying to find their rented limos. Apparently, most limos look alike.
But first-term inaugurations? They�re a blast. Only four more years!
Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Prosecutors say a Duluth woman has admitted her role in the 2012 stabbing death of her former landlord.
The St. Louis County Attorney's Office says 32-year-old Joella Lee Tucker pleaded guilty Wednesday to an amended charge of aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
Tucker had been charged with conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. In return for her guilty plea, Tucker's involvement in the killing won't be considered by any grand jury that may be convened.
The anticipated sentence for Tucker under Minnesota sentencing guidelines is 10 years and 10 months. Sentencing has not been scheduled.
Tucker was charged in the death of 54-year-old Duluth landlord Kevin Tyman, who was stabbed in his apartment.
Tucker's co-defendant, 42-year-old Raymond Weeks of Twin Harbors, is charged with intentional second-degree murder. Weeks' case is pending.

DIY Desk Accessory: Lined Wooden Boxes
I have been wanting to share this DIY with you since it is something I use often, and is a fun way to re-purpose wooden boxes. I saved a few that came with some Melissa & Doug toys for the kids. They had no lids, so I thought the best use would be to turn them into desk accessories;)
Wooden Boxes
(you can also find these at a craft store)
Patterned Paper
Modge Podge
Acrylic Paints
Paint Brush
Paint your boxes your desired color using craft paint. Let dry.
Line up your box on your paper, and trace along the bottoms of the boxes. You cut 1/4 inch (depending on the width of the sides) down from the traced size. Make sure the paper fits well inside the box.
Modge Podge the bottom of your boxes with a paint brush and immediately press and smooth your paper along the bottom. Let dry.
You can use these for holding stationary, business cars, jewelry, washi tape collection...you name it. Anything to help me stay organized is a plus. Now onto the closets...

Madonna Gives Lindsay Lohan's Ex a Lap Dance
The Material Mom is on a roll!
-Carolyn French
Madonna must have realized that Gerard Butler is about 10 times too old for her (in Madge years, mind you) because she's now chasing after a sexy young thing named Adam Senn!
The infamous cougar appeared at the Moët & Chandon celebrity photographer Tom Munro private viewing in Los Angeles on March 6 with the Dolce & Gabbana model on her arm.
Read Will Madonna's Mini-Me, Lourdes, Be a Bigger Star Than Her Mom?
Much to the delight of everyone in the room, Madge and Adam got a wee bit frisky according to a spy.
"She arrived with Adam from the back and sat in the VIP area," the witness relayed to In Touch. "At one point, she got up and started dancing, and he was grabbing her waist and touching her butt. She turned around and gave him a lap dance and he looked like the happiest guy in the world."
Fun Fact: Adam was linked to Lindsay Lohan a couple of months ago, which is sort of bizarre. Since when does Madge hit on LiLo's leftovers? And what's happening with Jesus Luz these days? We can hardly keep up! (In Touch)

Univision Tops ALL Networks in Ratings Race
As the summer winds down and students get back to school, the changing of the seasons marks the close of what is usually a slow TV season. The major networks debut their new shows at the end of the month, and so programming is mostly reruns. It is in this media environment that, during the week of September 1st-8th, Univision lead ALL networks in the Nielsen ratings.
What to make of this historic achievement by Univision? For one thing, the numbers don't lie (as accurate as Nielsen numbers can be; our family was a Nielsen family for many years, so what we watched at any given moment represented what thousands of families in our region were watching). Consumers may tell market researchers one thing, but if the numbers show that people are watching Spanish-language telenovelas and Spanish-language news, it's hard to dispute the hard data. Whether they are bilingual or Spanish-dominant, millions of young people in that 18-34 demo are watching Spanish-language TV programming.
Are eyeballs fixed to the screen when Univision is on because people like the programming…or because it is the only show in town? Univision has a near monopoly on Spanish-language programming in the U.S. (sorry, Telemundo), so for viewers who want to hear their language and see the actors and athletes that they know and love, it's Univision. Yet many bilingual, acculturated Latinos quietly bemoan the fact that Univision programming is light years behind its American counterparts. Variety programming featuring dancing bears and singing clowns, soap operas that appeal to an older demographic, and a portrayal of women that is very outdated are typical of the Univision lineup.
So the news from Nielsen Media is positive, in that it shows the impact of the Latino consumer. But it also shows that there are a lot of Spanish-speaking viewers in the U.S. who may just be clamoring for programming that is better and more modern. The viewers are there- it's time to give them what they want.

BRIEF-Voxel FY net profit lowers to 11.0 mln zlotys yoy
* Said on Friday that its FY revenue was 120.7 million zlotys ($30.67 million) versus 132.0 million zlotys a year ago
LAS VEGAS Dec 20 A seven-term U.S. congresswoman from Nevada, Shelley Berkley, violated ethics rules by using her office to try to help her husband's medical practice but had no "corrupt intent" in doing so, the U.S. House Ethics Committee said on Thursday.
The committee said no further action was needed against the Democratic member of the House of Representatives. It had launched a probe in July into allegations Berkley may have been improperly involved in a bid to help save a hospital program linked to her husband's business.
Berkley's husband, Larry Lehrner, is a kidney specialist who owns a string of dialysis facilities and had a contract with the transplant unit at University Medical Center in Las Vegas when it was threatened with closure.
Nevada Republicans asserted in their initial complaint to Congress that Berkley would have directly benefited financially from her involvement in the 2008 case due to her husband's links to the hospital's kidney center.
Berkley, who failed in November to unseat Nevada Republican Dean Heller from his U.S. Senate seat in a narrow race, has said her effort to help keep the center open when it was facing federal action that could have resulted in its closure was not motivated by a potential financial interest.
She said she did nothing wrong.
A House Ethics panel agreed that her work to help the transplant center did not constitute a violation, but said that it was a mistake for her office to assist her husband's dialysis business in getting payment reimbursements.
"Representative Berkley had a legitimate concern, raised at the time that these issues were ongoing, that failures on the part of government insurers to reimburse providers in a timely fashion might result in the providers opting not to see patients insured by those programs," the Ethics Committee said in a statement.
It added that Berkley testified credibly that she had not helped her husband to obtain future benefits, and that the level of assistance her office provided him was not unusual compared to that given to other doctors.
But the panel ruled that she was mistaken when she determined her course of action was proper, although her lack of "any corrupt intent" mitigates the severity of the violations.
Heller, who had been a member of the House at the time, also joined in the Nevada delegation's efforts to keep the government from closing the kidney unit. (Reporting by Cynthia Johnston; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)

***January 29th at 4:00 p.m.***
Brewster, N.Y.– 1/28/2012– Senator Greg Ball (R, C – Patterson) will be speaking to the troops at Camp Smith at a mobilization ceremony on Sunday, January 29th. The event is an opportunity to recognize the soldiers for their service with family members present, and wish them well as they prepare to embark on their post-mobilization training. Several military leaders and other elected officials will help to send off the soldiers alongside Senator Ball.
"Our soldiers will train for their mobilization which will be located in Camp Shelby, Mississippi," said Michael Clifford with Camp Smith. "Soldiers are expected to be on federal active duty for up to twelve months. The Army continues to re-evaluate the need for forces overseas, and revisit opportunities to reduce their presence. Some soldiers may deploy to Kuwait for other missions as the Army sees fit."
Senator Greg Ball said, "Very rarely in our nation's history have so few paid the price of freedom for so many. Most Americans are blessed to live a life disconnected from the reality that freedom is not free for our troops and their families. I wouldn't miss this opportunity to thank these soldiers and their families and I want to applaud these fine young men and women for stepping up and serving our nation so heroically."
Who: Senator Greg Ball
What: Speaking at Camp Smith mobilization ceremony
When: Sunday, January 29th from 3-4:30 p.m., speaking at 4 p.m.
Where: Camp Smith
Cortland, NY
For more information or to speak with Senator Ball, contact Brittany Oat (845) 200-9716.

According to the a recent Wall Street Journal story, airfares on tickets sold for Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks have risen 9.4 and 7.3 percent, respectively, compared with last year. On the other hand, CNN Money reports that gas prices are falling with nearly 20 percent of gas stations nationwide charging less than $3 per gallon.
Going by car to your holiday destination offers a number of practical advantages. You can come and go as you please, pack as much as you want, avoid long ticket counter and security lines, and better enjoy the ride. Because a family of four can travel 1,000 miles round-trip by car for about the cost of one airline ticket, driving is the sensible economic option.
The Car Care Council recommends a pre-trip vehicle inspection to avoid the unexpected cost and inconvenience of breaking down miles away from home. For more information, visit www.carcare.org and check out the free digital Car Care Guide.

Is your Microsoft licensing in compliance? A quick reference guide
This is a big week for Microsoft — the Windows 8 launch today, the release of Microsoft Surface tomorrow. Media and techies have been hyping these new products for months, both for their innovation — some are calling Surface the "PC of the future" — and also for the licensing re-haul associated with them.
Caitlin already touched on the licensing changes inherent with Windows 8, so we won't be going there today. Instead of looking forward, we thought we'd take a quick look back at how Microsoft got here. Below we've compiled a handy table recapping the new Microsoft products launched in 2012 and the licensing models associated with each. Let this serve as a quick reference to make sure your software licensing is in compliance. (more…)

Wei He was born in 1955 in Harbin, Helongjiang Province, PR China and spent his childhood in Hulan County. Till 1972, he completed his learning in primary and high school in Hulan. After six years of social career including as builder and latheman during cultural revolution, he luckily obtained an opportunity to Jiangmushi Medical college to start his medical career. He graduated with B.M. degree in 1983, subsequently majored in Microbiology in Heilongjiang University of TCM, graduating with M.M. degree in 1987. He then obtained a teaching position at t Heilongjiang University of TCM. From 1991 to 1994, he studied for his M.D. in Heidelberg University in Germany, Faculty of Theoretical Medicine under under the supervision of Professor Dieter Kabelitz. There he worked on studying developmental mechanism of γδT cells, a unique T cell subset, graduating with a M.D. in 1993. In Aug. 1994, he returned to China and joined the laboratory of Professor Denain Ba in Department of Immunology, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) & School of Basic Medicine, Peking Union Medical College (PUMC). One year later, he obtained a full Professorship in CAMS & PUMC, and got on with His interest in T cells, mainly for human ones. From then on, he obtained a dozen of national and international grants and led his students to embark on the study of γδT cells, focusing on a relationship with tumor-immunology. His group developed expanding γδT cell approach with an immobilized anti-TCRγδ antibody, successively solving a problem that very small quantity of γδT cells in peripheral blood is hardly studied further. They also systemically clarify the biological property and significance of human γδT cells, especially their role in stressful status.
In recent years Wei He has pioneered the structure-biological study in complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) of human TCRγδ which is binding site for ligand or antigen of TCRγδ. As a result, his group discovered and identified several novel ligands for TCRγδ such as hMSH2, clarified binding mechanism of TCRγδ ligand and found that γδ T cells respond to endogenetic danger message via TCRγδ recognition of ectopically stress-induced antigen γδ. Besides, all these findings have been trying to translate into clinical field.
Wei He is also a major leader in Chinese Society for Immunology (CSI) (2001-present for SG, 2010-present for VP), and represents CSI to participate in affair in International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) as the Member, Education Committee of IUIS (2005-present).

Amebic liver abscess is a collection of pus in the liver in response to an intestinal parasite called Entamoeba histolytica.
Hepatic amebiasis; Extraintestinal amebiasis; Abscess - amebic liver
Amebic liver abscess is caused by Entamoeba histolytica. This parasite causes amebiasis, an intestinal infection that is also called amebic dysentery. After an infection has occurred, the parasite may be carried by the blood from the intestines to the liver.
The disease spreads from eating food or water that has been contaminated with feces (sometimes due to the use of human waste as fertilizer). It is also spread through person-to-person contact.
The infection occurs worldwide, but is most common in tropical areas where crowded living conditions and poor sanitation exist. Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and India have significant health problems from this disease.
Risk factors for amebic liver abscess include:
There are usually no symptoms of intestinal infection. But people with amebic liver abscess do have symptoms, including:
Tests that may be done include:
Antibiotics such as metronidazole (Flagyl) or tinidazole (Tindamax) are the usual treatment for liver abscess. A drug such as paromomycin or diloxanide must also be taken to get rid of all the ameba in the intestine and to prevent the disease from coming back. This treatment can usually wait until after the abscess has been treated.
In rare cases, the abscess may need to be drained using a catheter or surgery to relieve some of the abdominal pain.
Without treatment, the abscess may break open (rupture) and spread into other organs, leading to death. People who are treated have a very high chance of a complete cure or only minor complications.
The abscess may rupture into the abdominal cavity, the lining of the lungs, the lungs, or the sac around the heart. The infection can also spread to the brain.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this disease, especially if you have recently traveled to an area where the disease is known to occur.
When traveling in tropical countries with poor sanitation, drink purified water and do not eat uncooked vegetables or unpeeled fruit.

The oldest continually-running festival in the world began its 65th edition Wednesday in Edinburgh with a massive slate of festival hits and premieres.
The biggest buzz around the festival has been the participation of Tilda Swinton, her frequent collaborator Mark Cousins and former Edinburgh Film Festival director Lynda Myles and their subsequent departure. When the collaboration was announced in December, The Guardian called the decision a "dramatic move" that would "breathe new life into an event that faces big funding cuts." The festival had announced that the three had decided on several changes, including cheaper tickets, a string of "discrepant thinkers" as guest curators, one-off events and "honesty days" when people could have paid what they feel a film is worth. It should come as no surprise that such changes don't seem to have been entirely accepted. (Keep in mind that Swinton and Cousins have been radically reassessing the traditional nature of film festivals for a few years now, at one point enlisting a group of traveling cinephiles to pull a mobile cinema trailer through the summery hills of Scotland for a fortnight.)
When asked about the departure by the Hollywood Reporter, Swinton said her involvement had "continuously been misreported," and that "Lynda Myles, Mark Cousins and I have not 'parted company' with plans for the EIFF, because we were never – in fact – officially engaged with them. We were certainly never paid or made responsible in any way to the festival's organization." So, take from that what you will.
The festival does, however, appear to have taken a less traditional, low-key route than in years past. There have been no red carpets and there is neither a star-studded jury nor prizes. There are, however, a number of retrospectives and special screenings, including a selections by guest curators Bela Tarr, Jim Jarmusch and Apichatpong Weerasethakul and several Derek Jarman films curated by Gus Van Sant.
The festival opened on Wednesday evening with the UK premiere of "The Guard," an Irish crime comedy directed by John Michael McDonagh. The film is aiming to represent Irish film on an international level following its positive reception at Tribeca and Sundance earlier this year. However, according to The Scotsman, the low-profile premiere, which went off without an appearance by either of its stars – Don Cheadle or Brendan Gleeson – was quite a disaster. "The 1,900-seater Festival Theatre was only two thirds full and there was embarrassment for the organizers when the cinema screen, bought by the festival last year for the venue, broke down for a few minutes."
All is not lost, as Edinburgh will see a handful of big names this year. Kim Cattrall is expected to attend the UK premiere of "Meet Monica Velour" and Ewan McGregor will be there in support of the European premiere his film "Perfect Sense." The festival's other major UK premiere is for Philip Seymour Hoffman's directorial debut "Jack Goes Boating," though Hoffman is not expected to appear.
The festival, which lost a great deal of funding due to cutbacks in the arts which have had the UK film industry reeling for months now, doesn't seem to have any regrets about its choices. Festival director James Mullighan told STV: "We're neither able nor willing to compete with the red carpets and star wattage of Berlin, Cannes, Toronto and Venice. We are paying fresh mind to the historic and cultural reputation of our glorious home town."

High school football games and the surrounding festivities are some of the most fun and memorable aspects of high school. However, until this year, the games and coinciding pep rallies were mysteries to the students at Paradise Honors High School.
Last year, Paradise Honors High School gained full membership in the Arizona Interscholastic Association, and this year, when it plays Mayer on Sept. 21, it will host its first football game.
"Extremely exciting," Principal Tim Gonzales said. "That's what a lot of people go to high school for. That was a big push for us, to have a comprehensive sports program. Football is huge."
Athletic Director Jeremy Sahd echoed Gonzales' enthusiasm.
"Having a football program is definitely exciting around here," Sahd said. "Kids are excited, the staff is excited, morale is high and there are a lot of things going on around here. There is something in the air."
While creating a football program is a big deal for any high school athletic department, it is not something that can happen overnight. In addition to acquiring full membership with the AIA, Paradise Honors High School had to go through the processes of finding a qualified coach and fundraising.
It may not have been an easy process, but coach Austin Nichols is enthusiastic and glad the school finally has football.
"I really think having football at a young high school is something you really can't overlook," Nichols said. "It has increased school spirit exponentially It's something our students have wanted for a long time and it's something I think a lot of young men shouldn't go without."
Leading up to its first home game Paradise Honors High School will have a "Spirit Week." The spirit week will conclude with a pep rally the morning of the game and a homecoming dance that night.
The players will certainly be excited and full of emotion on game day, but Nichols wants to make sure they control those emotions. The coach believes if his players focus on the task at hand and play one play at a time they will be fine. Most importantly, he wants his team to enjoy themselves.
"If you're not having fun playing football, you're doing something wrong," Nichols said.
Paradise Honors High School may be a young, inexperienced football team, but their goals and expectations are high. Nichols knows his team is off to a disappointing 0-3 start, but believes the best is yet to come.
"We want to win," Nichols said. "No team goes into a game wanting to lose. Our expectation from day one was to try our best to make the playoffs ... The toughest part of our schedule is behind us so we are going to work hard to catch fire and I really think that goal is realistic."

That Naismith was one sharp dude
On Friday, a document detailing the original rules of basketball written by Dr. James Naismith was sold, raising more than $4 million for charity.
Naismith wrote the 13 rules 119 years ago, back when Theo Ratliff was a rookie.
Most of them were pretty basic and simple. A few, however, were astonishingly specific and prescient. For example:
11. Michael Jordan will not foul Bryon Russell on June 14, 1998.
8. This game is great, sure, but know what's really great? Laker Girls!
5. No serious team shall call itself "the Clippers."
3. Don't be fooled at first. LeBron James will prove to be Hitler in high-tops.
1. It was, in fact, Shaq's fault.

The 2010 European Warcraft Invitational has come to an end. We saw many thrilling games and high-speed action. In Warcraft III, Grubby, the King of Orcs, once more showed his exceptional play-style in the final against Happy, winning 2-to-1 and 2-to-0. In the World of Warcraft Arena, *aAa* held on to their outstanding performance throughout the tournament. They emerged victorious over LightZ CaMerA ActioN, winning 3-to-1 in the final and becoming the undefeated Regional Champions.
We want to thank all of the participating players who made this event so exciting. We would also like to thank all of the visitors who joined us at the Media Centre in Cologne to cheer for their favorite players. It was a lot of fun and we hope to see you again next year! We will be updating our photo gallery with pictures from this year's event in the coming days. Keep an eye on our 2010 European Warcraft Invitational website for more updates.
Much like yesterday, the second day at the Media Centre in Cologne started with a StarCraft II showmatch between The Little One and MaDFroG. This time both players went for a best of three series. After four amazing games the score was tied 2-to-2 with the showmatch hinging to the fifth and final showdown game where both players raided bases. In the end, The Little One emerged victorious. To see the replay of these exciting games, check out our forum thread for the StarCraft II showmatches.
Much has happened in our Warcraft III brackets and World of Warcraft Arena Tournament. In Warcraft III, it came to a rematch of last year's final between Grubby and LucifroN after both players dropped to the lower bracket. This time, Grubby was able to defeat LuciFron, winning 2-to-0. In the meantime, Happy marched through the upper bracket, defeating ThorZain 2-to-1 and becoming the first finalist for Warcraft III. Grubby and ThorZain had to battle it out to determine who would be Happy's opponent in the final. In this match-up, Grubby managed to make use of all his experience, claiming a 2-to-0 victory over ThorZain. As finalists, Happy and Grubby will face each other once more in this tournament! Take a look at our Warcraft III brackets to see the latest results.
In the World of Warcraft Arena, *aAa* made their way through the upper bracket, defeating the surprise winners of the first round, Virtus Pro by 3-to-0 and going on to defeat SK Sansibar 3-to-1. After moving to the lower bracket, team x6tence fought their way through the lower bracket, much as they did last year. In the third round came the ultimate showdown between x6tence and LightZ CaMerA ActioN. Both teams definitely went to their limits, fighting it out in the longest arena matches we have seen so far. After multiple draws, LightZ CaMerA ActioN, the team of the well known warlock Inflames, was able to claim a hard-earned 3-to-2 victory over last year's winning team x6tence. After defeating SK Sansibar in the lower bracket finals, they will move on to face the undefeated team *aAa* in the final. You can participate in the discussions about the World of Warcraft Arena matches in our dedicated forum threads.
The Pro Gamers are not the only ones who have been battling hard here in the Media Centre in Cologne. Our visitors participated in various contests to win some highly-sought after Collector's Editions of StarCraft II, posters, beta keys for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, and many other prizes. Our free gaming area has given many the possibility of seeing StarCraft II or discovering the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta. All who are interested still have the chance to join us until 8 p.m. today and enjoy the great atmosphere here in Cologne!
The first day of the 2010 Warcraft Invitational started with a StarCraft II Show Match between The Little One and MadFroG. Both players, being among the best in Europe, showed us a thrilling game. After being defeated in the first round, MadFroG made a great comeback in a very intense second match. But, at the end, The Little One was able to defeat him, winning the match 2-to-1. We are looking forward to see them fight each other again tomorrow.
In Warcraft III, LuciFroN, ThorZain, Happy, and Grubby advanced in the upper bracket, while Xlord, ThomasG, Nicker, and VortiX now have to try to come back into the game through the lower bracket.
The first round in the World of Warcraft Arena was very interesting. The Russian team, Virtus Pro, took us all by surprise, scoring an impressive 3-to-1 win versus the hotly favored Team Dignitas. And, once again, x6tence, the winning team in 2009, has to face the same situation they saw last year where they lost in the first round. Will they be able to fight their way back through the lower bracket again?
In the remaining two matches, SK Sansibar scored a decisive 3-to-0 victory against Hehe xo while Team *aAa* was able to defeat the players from Stay Small, winning 3-to-1. We are excited to see how the rest of the tournament will progress.
The audience here in the Media Centre in Cologne is showing an amazing amount of support for the players, providing just the perfect background for this event. Six players from the Italian World of Warcraft guild "Serenate of Sorrow" travelled all the way from Italy to Cologne to participate in this event. Together with all our visitors, they have the possibility to watch the breath-taking matches here at the 2010 Warcraft Invitational. In addition to the matches, everyone has the chance to try out StarCraft II or discover the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta in our free gaming area.
As the day continues, more action on our show stages is guaranteed. So, be sure to join us for this free event at the Media Centre in Cologne or turn in the free Live Stream on our 2010 Warcraft Invitational website.

text: News These Final Hours begins shooting in WA October 18, 2012 3:00 by Colin Delaney 3 Feature film These Final Hours has begun production in Perth this week. The five-week shoot is taking place in and around Perth. Produced by first time feature producer Liz Kearney, the film is written and directed by Zak Hilditch and executive produced by Robert Connolly, is set in the dying hours before the apocalypse. Kearney told Encore: "It's a character driven drama with genre elements in the backdrop. It's not aout explosions, it's about human drama." "It's an apocalyptic thriller set on the last 12 hours on the last day on earth and follows James, 30, who up until now has led a decadent, fun-loving life and on this last day is to go out with a bang and spend it at the party to end all parties. However on the way to the party he has to save the life of a girl named Rose. Through this relationship he realises it's never too late to do good." The cast includes Wolf Creek's Nathan Phillips, Not Suitable For Children's Sarah Snook, Snowtown's Daniel Henshall and Angourie Rice. Locally the film is being distributed by Connolly's Footprint Films while internationally it will be sold through Celluloid Nightmares, a partnership between XYZ Films and Celluloid Dreams. The project has received ScreenWest investment and Screen Australia funding and development help through the national agency's first round of its Springboard Program in which the pair first developed a short, Transmission, around elements of the concept. Transmission won best short film at the St Kilda Short Film Festival last year. ADVERTISEMENT

Baseball Notes
Free-agent first baseman James Loney and the Tampa Bay Rays completed their $2 million, one-year contract Thursday. The sides agreed on the deal earlier this week at the baseball winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn., pending a physical. Loney can make an additional $1 million in performance bonuses.
Tampa Bay is hoping Loney , 28, can have a bounce-back year. He started last season with the Dodgers, then was traded to Boston in July as part of the deal that sent Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett to the Dodgers.
Loney hit a combined .249 with six homers and 41 RBIs for the Dodgers and Red Sox. He had 90 RBIs in 2008 and 2009 and 88 RBIs in 2010 for the Dodgers, but his production has dropped since then.
The New York Yankees took a step toward filling their hole at third base by making a one-year, $12 million offer to free agent Kevin Youkilis. The Associated Press reported that there was a good chance Youkilis would take it, but he also could consider two-year deals elsewhere. The Cleveland Indians are said to be interested in signing Youkilis as their first baseman and reuniting him with their new manager, Terry Francona, who managed Youkilis in Boston. Youkilis was a three-time All-Star for the Red Sox, playing for their championship teams in 2004 and 2007 before a trade to the Chicago White Sox in June. The Yankees have an opening at third base because Alex Rodriguez will soon undergo surgery on his left hip, a procedure expected to keep him out until June. Youkilis, 33, has won a Gold Glove at first base but played 111 games at third last season. He hit a career-low .235 with 19 homers and 60 RBIs with Boston and Chicago last season.
The Minnesota Twins agreed to terms with right-handed reliever Jared Burton on a two-year, $5.5 million contract that includes a club option for the 2015 season. Burton, 31, had five saves and a 2.18 ERA in 62 innings with 16 walks and 55 strikeouts in 2012, his first season with the Twins. Burton became the primary eighth-inning setup man for closer Glen Perkins.
Reed Johnson, the top pinch hitter in the National League last season, rejoined the Atlanta Braves with a one-year contract that includes a club option for 2014. The deal was announced two days before Johnson turned 36. Johnson hit a combined .290 with three home runs and 20 RBIs last season. He batted .419 (18 for 43) as a pinch hitter. Johnson is a career .284 hitter with 62 home runs for Toronto, the Cubs, the Dodgers and Atlanta since making his major league debut in 2003.
Reliever Koji Uehara, 37, reached an agreement with the Boston Red Sox, pending a physical. The right-hander spent the past two seasons with Texas.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said had tried to re-sign him before Uehara decided to accept Boston's offer. Uehara had a 1.75 ERA in 37 relief appearances this year, holding batters to a .160 average.

New Orleans-Style Calas (Rice Beignets)
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for serving
For best results, begin preparing this dish the night before.
Place the water, sugar and yeast in a medium non-reactive bowl and allow to stand until foam sets, about 10 minutes. Add the rice to the water and yeast and stir to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to proof at room temperature for at least 4 hours and up to overnight (8 hours).
The next morning/day stir the rice and mash it against the side of the bowl with the back of a spoon. You want to create a contrast in texture, with some grains remaining whole and some crushed. Add the eggs, salt, vanilla, nutmeg and flour to the bowl and stir with a spoon to combine. Cover the bowl again with plastic wrap and allow to proof in a warm, draft free place for 1 hour.
Preheat at least 4 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or a deep fryer to 360 degrees F. Use a large spoon or scoop to drop about half of the dough by 2-tablespoonfuls into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, turn over and continue to fry until cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon, remove the calas from the hot oil and transfer to paper towel-lined plates to drain briefly. Sprinkle the calas liberally with the powdered sugar before serving hot. Repeat with the remaining batter.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Tack and Equipment
- - Western saddle pads...
Western saddle pads... I'm looking to get a new one since I cheaped out on my current pad and it shows. So, basically I'm looking for recommendations. I need it to be around an inch thick, have that leather where the stirrups come down, be a color that goes with super dark oil leather (almost black) with a bright red seat and doesn't clash with neon green or light blue, and preferably under $50. Also, if there's a way for it to be a cut back/have some sort of wither relief, that'd be super great too. Another thing that would be nice is some sort of back relief-ness like gel or something for the poor Lacey girl cuz even though her back doesn't get sore, at her age she needs babying. Any tried and true recommendations? Thanks! :) |
I'd suggest to look at used one. Under $50 is pretty hard to find something really nice. I really like my reinsman (and they have cut back versions), but it was like $70 new. :( |
The best $120 I ever spent was on my 5 star equine pad, I struggled with spending that much, Hey I've paid less than that for saddles, but I'm now so glad I did. My dogs are happy with the cheap and nasty pads that I wasted my money on, they use them as beds, and my horses share the 5 Star and the Reinsman Tacky Too which is my 2nd choice pad. I snagged a great ebay deal on the Reinsman, and I would far rather buy a lightly used really good pad, than a new not so good one. Since I had the decent pads my saddles sit better, I've had no slipping saddles, no sore backs, and we are all a lot happier. I strongly advise saving the pennies until you can get a good one. |
I realize that money is tight everywhere. That being said, unfortunately, there are no quality pads that exist for $50 or under. There are pads that sell for that amount but nothing that is going to do your horse any justice. There are ways to cheapen up on tack but saddle pad shouldn't be one of them. It is a barrier between you, your saddle, and his back. Save your $50 and use a second pad on top of what you already have until you have saved enough for a good pad. I've used many different pads over the past 30+ years of ownership and by far the best pad I've ever owned, and the one I'll always use, is the 5 Star. It isn't expensive when you consider what it does, how it's made, what it is made of, and how long it will last you. You will go through 4 or 5 cheap pads before you ever wear out a 5 Star. I'll agree with golden Horse on that pad. |
Said it all! Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat with you. But I am just going to use 2 saddle pads until I save up enough for a 5 star, classic equine, or impact gel saddle pad, which all are priced above 100$ new. |
I, too, would rather buy a lightly used than a crappy new. If you are concerned about any kind of contaminants...send it off to a blanket laundering service and have them clean and sterilize it. Our blanket service only charges $9.00 for this! I love my reinsman pad. Bought it used at a tack swap for $5 and that was the steal of the century. Its a tacky-too and I love it. |
I am one that doesn't bother with getting the expensive ones. Yeah, they may be better, but I have to have no less than 2 or 3 pads on hand at a time and I ride enough that they get worn out quickly no matter the brand. So I go with the cheaper ones that are easier to replace. This is a brand that I found and I am really impressed with so far. Apache Southwest Saddle Pad: Saddles Tack Horse Supplies - ChickSaddlery.com I am not a big fan of the cutback pads unless you are using them on top of another pad. Every time I tried to use one by itself, it ended up wearing a sore just behind the withers. |
I agree with the others, what your looking for just isn't possiable for $50. My favorite pads are professionals choice smx air ride pads, I have one that has lasted 2 years of use on many horses everyday. it still looks brand new, i just switched colors so right now it isn't being used though. I bought a charmayne james smx pad recently, its really nice too. There both around $150-$160 though. So I say save your money or buy a nice used saddle pad. |

Maya Angelou, the world famous poet and author of works such as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, is upset with Chicago rapper Common. If you listened to Com's latest, The Dreamer/The Believer (out tomorrow, Dec. 20) when you had the chance, you'd have noticed that Angelou is featured on a track entitled "The Dreamer." On it, Common uses the n-word several times, a word that Angelou herself considers "vulgar and dangerous" to the black community, according to the New York Post. The poet said she had never heard Common use the word and that she was "surprised and disappointed" that he put her on a track where its use is prevalent. In response, the rapper said Angelou "knows I do use the word. She knows that's part of me." You can listen to the song below and see if having Angelou and the n-word on the same piece negates the message of "The Dreamer." [Spin]

Info on bowling pin shooting...
What's the deal with bowling pin shooting? Course of fire. Types of guns used, etc.
No one reads or cares what is written in ones signature box. So I'm not writing anything worth reading or remembering. |

You mean you need a special gun to shoot a bowling pin? What is the world comming to?
I'd guess that almost all bpin shooting is done with handguns. Other than that, anything goes. Is there some offical "bowling pin shooting" league that I'm not aware of? |

Pistols, revolvers, carbines, even shotguns (no hot magnums). Limited and open class for each of the types. Limited is (around here), any open sight, no compensators. Open is anything, like all-out race guns,etc. One of our weekly shooters is a 13 year old girl who shoots in "open carbine". She usually has some 2.5 second tables in a match(WICKED FAST). A typical match is six tables of five pins. The slowest time is dropped and you're scored on the best five. At our matches, each shooter has thirty seconds to clear of a table at a distance of thirty-six feet. During the summer I play in another club's matches and they time to fifteen seconds at 25 feet, best five out of six tables. Some clubs time the pins to the floor, some stop the time when the pin leaves the table (this is a good strategic point if a pin is slowly rolling off the table). Some clubs allow the shooter to stand at "ready-low", and others with the gun benched and hands up before the timer starts. I saw one group start with guns benched, slides locked open, mags out! I shoot every week, keeps the shootin' eye sharp with a nice balance of speed and accuracy. I'll be there tomorrow. If anyone's in the Taylor, Michigan area, come on out and give it a try, we start around five P.M. and go till nine. Here's a link to the place:http://www.topgunshootingsports.com/

You're surely welcome, 9mm. Why roll a ball at them when you can BLAST them with a gun? Far more satisfying to me. I shot my way into fourth place last week and tonight I think I fell into the cellar! Damn pins were SQUARE and HEAVY!

But the bowling ball is 112000 grains coming out of the muzzle at around 5 fps. That a power factor of 560! That's some awesome bowling pin stopping power...

16lb bowling all: 112000 grain Ball speed of 15MPH = 22fps PF = wieght x velocity / 1000 112000 * 22 / 1000 = 2464 PF That'd be like a 223 going at 44,800 fps! Geez! |

We used to have Bowling Pin shoots here in this area and will hopefully have them on a regular scheduled basis this spring and summer. We shot 5 pins at 24 feet, with both tables, Old doors on saw horses! Both shooters on the line at the same time, usually with guns loaded and pointed at a 45 degree angle, till the comand to fire winner was the first to clear the table.
I personally don't like shooting against a clock! In the case where a good shooter was up against a shooter that was not as good we usually handicap the good shooter. That handicap can be starting with the gun on the table, to being on the table empty, having to shoot with the weak hand. We also will on occasion with the good shooters that have a sense of humor we have been known to make the shooters place there guns on the bench's and swap places shooting with the other guys gun. Things like that can make things really fun. |

Still have hands majorly clamped to ears. The novel is selling a little bit in the UK, no sales on Amazon US yet. It's a delicate time, much moreso than publishing via an agent and publisher as you don't have that protective barrier of thinking hmph well, they must have liked it or they'd not have taken me on.
Ebooks really are still in their infancy here. 90% of my non-fiction sales on Amazon are in the US. Ebooks have now, apparently, overtaken paperback sales there. So it's a bit of a priority to get my US tax forms sorted but it's so complicated. I've had my forms returned once already so have been updating the blog post I did last year.
I'll be going to the Embassy in the next week or so and will report back. Meantime here's the blog piece again:
Now that UK and overseas authors can sell their Kindle ebooks via Amazon.co.uk as well as Amazon.com I've been checking up on royalty payments and the US tax situation.
Previously payments were made to all overseas authors via US$ cheques. This is still the case with ebooks sold on .com. You'll have to pay a UK bank charge for paying the cheque in. RBS, for example, charges £7.50 per transaction. Amazon have recently changed their criteria on issuing royalty cheques and now no payment is made until at least $100 is owed. On request (see Smashwords FAQ link below), Smashwords will withhold payments until your US tax number comes through.
Royalties due on ebooks sold on Amazon.co.uk are paid in UK £ cheques and mailed monthly. You have to accrue at least £75 worth of royalties before a cheque is issued. Most ebook sales (at Feb 2011) are still made to the US who are 12 - 18 months ahead of Europe in adopting ebook reading.
If you haven't registered for exemption, Amazon will withhold 30% of all sales made on .com for US tax.
Update Jan 8 2012: A comment on this blog today by JTR below tells how she applied, and was given over the phone, an EIN number. EIN stands for Employer Identification Number. "I told them I was a UK based author and they said the EIN was fine, I was effectively the sole proprietor of my own business - I didn't need to go to the US embassy.." This is an excellent development which makes it all so, so much simpler. I'll keep the ITIN guidelines up but this is the way to go. Smashwords and Amazon accept EIN numbers.
To get an ITIN number is much more complicated. This is what's involved and, thank goodness, no longer necessary: B B B...... SORRY ANOTHER UPDATE, things change and as at April 2013 please go to my next post to get links to important updates.
First apply for a US IRS Individual Taxpaper Identification Number (ITIN) by filling out form W-7: Get here.
Embassy instructions for UK residents are here.
When you have accrued at least $10 sales on Smashwords, you can apply for a signed covering letter from them to produce with your documents. Details here.
You need to provide proof of identity. "Either a valid passport (original or a notarized or certified copy); or at least two or more identity documents that are current. One must include a recent photograph. In addition to a passport, examples of acceptable documentation include: national identification card (showing photo, name, current address, date of birth and expiration date); civil birth certificate; foreign driver's license; or visa." A complete list of acceptable documentation can be found in Form W-7 instructions.
Post to: The United States Embassy
24/31 Grosvenor Square
London W1A 1AE
Tel 0207-894-0476
Or go along there. They're open Tues - Thursday 9 - 4.
It's complicated.
The best blog on this subject is Angela Stone's Quick Guide to the W-7 US Tax Form.
THEN when you've got your number, you fill out form W8-BEN: Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding. Get here.
Smashwords has its own ebook store and offers free distribution to Barnes&Noble, Apple iBooks and more. How much income you get from each Smashwords ebook sale varies. It depends on whether the sale comes through from Smashwords' own sales site (85% of cover price), from an affiliate sale (via an e-reader, 70.5%) or from Premium Catalogue sales sites like Apple iBooks (60%) and Barnes & Noble.
For a $2.99 ebook you would earn:
$2.21 from each Smashwords sale
$1.84 from each affiliate sale
$1.27 from each Premium Catalogue sale.
The payments come through on PayPal.

There are allot of people on this ship and you cannot always get a seat in the lounge or bar of your choice, this could be helped a little if some, not all, parents would control there children and not let them run around the ship at all times of the day or night.
The food in the main dining room is OK but is dining room food rather than restaurant quality, the food in the Windjammer is very good but you have to be prepared to queue for food and a table. The food in the specialist restaurant Portofino's was excellent, we both ate far to much. We did not use the other specialist restaurant Chops & Grill but were told by some of our fellow cruisers who had More dined there that it was excellent.
The drinks are very expensive and priced in US Dollars so for the first few days it was a little confusing, how they justify $10 to $15 for a medium glass of wine and $6 to $7.50 for a beer i don't know. If you have children the soft drink package seemed good value for money.
We had an outside stateroom which was excellent, I have never seen or slept in such a large bed. our stateroom was cleaned and served twice a day by our excellent stateroom attendant.
All the staff on board were excellent with the exception of the staff on the customer relations desk. On the three occasions I found myself wanting their help i found them extremely rude and very unhelpful.
As i mentioned above at times it was stormy both inside and outside the ship. We left Southampton heading for bad weather while other ships stayed in port, so we sailed into a Hurricane with the captain telling us next day that it was the worst seas he had sailed through for the last 10 years. We had lost 10 hours sailing in the wrong direction to try to avoid the worst of the storm therefore we would not now be calling at Madeira, a great disappointment for us, so we now had an extra day at see, putting more money into the RCI purse.
The other ports of call are good and the excursions on the whole were value for money.
To sum up then the ship is excellent but RCI is a money making machine. Would I recommend RCI to friends a definite NO Less
