Great Cruise..Great Ship: Carnival Breeze Cruise Review by panther440
Overall Member Rating
Great Cruise..Great Ship
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
The embarkation was very smooth and fast. I would see no reason to pay for first to board. We spent maybe 30 min total for the whole process and we got there at 11am. Checked out the ship signed up for the Cheers program and was off to eat. Guys burgers were very good, The Burrito great, Mongolian wok very good, had to wait some but not bad, Deli and Pizza was OK. Buffet never had long lines and food was different and very good. Room service was fast and very good. Dining room (Blush) we never had cold food. A couple of times order was mixed up, 3rd day they added a guy to our waiter who had been sick. No issue after that. Thought the new lay out and decor was More great (Much much better than before)Punch-liner brunch was a nice change and really good food. Debarkation very smooth as well.Red Frog Pub was great, best servers on the boat in my opinion.
2 Times we smelled the funky sewer smell. The c side BBQ got rained out one day.People all complained but it was RAINING large BBQ grill with no lids getting full of water. Gee wonder why the couldn't do it. We did not go to any of the shows in the theater. We did go to the Comedy shows and I will say carnival has it set up wrong. Long lines blocking stairs and waiting over 45 min to see the show sucked. Once inside though very funny. My 2 cents move comedy back to theater where there was more room. Casino seemed smaller but was OK even though we didn't win.Was every waiter or bar person super friendly no, but they were not rude or unfriendly.
Our group talked about it and said a cruise is what you make of it. If you want to look for every little thing to bitch about then spend your time mad. If you go with the flow and accept there is going to be somethings you don't like and some things you love. People sometimes forget to relax and enjoy vacation time. You have to wait in line at most restaurants so why would a cruise ship be different? Less

On behalf of the EDUCA Team, I would like to deeply thank the anonymous donators who have followed and supported our project. We really appreciate and recognize the effort! Thanks to all of you we are almost reaching our goal of $12,794 USD.
Children, as well as their parents in SEDAC Pre-School, feel profoundly touched by this action. Lots of kids will be able to keep attending this following school year, not to mention the food and additional services included. The tuition fees will not be raised in order to prevent drop out! With this donated amount, the school will be able to cover administrative and operational costs without affecting the family's economy.
I reiterate my profound gratitude and it is because of people like you that children believe and hope for a better future in their harsh reality.

When I called him to talk about his recent accomplishments, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Tom Blandino couldn't talk much about the 2007 combat mission for which he was recently awarded the Bronze Star—the mission remains classified.
But he and I have spoken about his deployments before, so I had an understanding, even if it is a limited civilian understanding, of what his dangerous role was while serving with the U.S. Air Force 82nd Airborne Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
LELAND—North Brunswick was supposed to win this basketball game against West Brunswick.
But in regulation—not in double overtime.
North was supposed to win this game by double digits—as it did in December when it crushed West 80-49—not by three points, 75-72, as it did Tuesday night in a first-round game of the Waccamaw Conference boys' basketball tournament.
Brunswick Community College volleyball coach Stephanie McMullan has signed a key player for the 2010 season. West Brunswick's Mattie Tippett will play the next two years for the Dolphins.
A Shallotte man was killed and his 2-year-old daughter severely injured after a two-car wreck Saturday on Pigott Road in the Shallotte Point area.
The other driver involved in the crash was not injured and is facing several charges including felony hit and run and driving while impaired, according to 1st Sgt. A.E. Morris of the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Jorge Velasquez Sotomayor, 1510 Phelps St., Shallotte, died in New Hanover Regional Medical Center a day after the wreck occurred.
Ever watch one of those antique appraisal shows and wonder if the stuff in your attic, trunk or cluttered spare room is actually worth something?
The most popular of the bunch is "Antiques Roadshow" on PBS, where people from all walks of life put themselves and their prized possessions in front of a national audience and a tough appraiser to find out if their "treasure" is the real thing, a forgery or a very good (even valuable) reproduction.
West Brunswick scored 21 straight points in the first half and went on to beat Washington 68-60 in a first-round game Monday of the N.C. High School Athletic Association girls' Class 3A basketball playoffs.
The victory advanced the Lady Trojans to a second-round home game at 6 p.m. Feb. 24 against Rocky Mount (17-5).
The visiting Eastern Wayne Warriors overcame a 15-point second-half deficit and defeated the West Brunswick Trojans 65-59 in the first round of the NCHSAA boys' Class 3A basketball playoffs Monday night.
In the midst of construction crews building additions to town hall, Shallotte's town administrator settles into his new office and prepares for an upcoming board retreat. His desk is piled high with plans, notes and blueprints.
The March 10 board of aldermen is where Albert Hughes hopes to establish his goals as administrator and get aldermen more involved in planning the town's future, he said recently.
Two people were charged following two wrecks that occurred within minutes of each other in the northbound lanes of U.S. 17 near Smith Avenue last Wednesday, Feb. 17. In the first single-vehicle wreck called in at 12:46 p.m., the driver of a 1995 Chevrolet SUV ran off the road to the left, then went back across the highway to the right, struck a ditch, overturned and came to rest facing west in the ditch. In the second wreck reported at 12:58 p.m., the driver of a 2006 Nissan Xterra passing by the first wreck failed to reduce speed and rear-ended another vehicle.
CALABASH—Town services requests were part of an initial discussion at a preliminary budget workshop Monday afternoon at town hall.
Town administrator Marzy Marziano, town clerk Kelley Southward, Mayor Anthony Clemmons and three town commissioners took part in the hour-long session to start reviewing numbers for the upcoming fiscal 2010-2011 budget that takes effect July 1.
The current fiscal 2009-2010 budget is $1,085,000.

I so agree with you.Joe definatly is metro at least, Kevin... I think if he is, it'll be a while(and many male whores) until he does say anything.
I so agree with you.Joe definatly is metro at least, Kevin... I think if he is, it'll be a while(and many male whores) until he does say anything.
i hope at least one is
Anyone want to see some fakes of Joe and Kevin?
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
I only think Joe is hot and the other one you can't really say to much cause he isn't old enough and kevin isn't that attractive
what about the bulges Joe had in Camp Rock
I love Kevin and Joe majorly cute guys.
Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath , I can go on and on and on. When the lights go down and there's no one left I can go on and on and on. Give it to me, yeah.
I think Joe is so hot but my favorite is Kevin. He isn't as hot but something about him just makes me melt. Just something about him that I can't really put my finger on. He just has so much energy, and he's funny, kind of reserved, sweet, seems romantic. Looks aren't everything you know. God, gay people can be so shallow. I'd pick Kevin over Joe any day in a heartbeat. He just has that special something that I find irresistible.
My female friend said sucking dick was gross...I told her she was just jealous because she can't do it as good as I can.
I know what you're saying. For me, Joe's my favorite, because I like his "zany", freewheeling personality (and god, would that energy ever translate well to the bedroom - well, once he's presumably married off and breaks that virginity vow!) and think he's incredibly hot (love the dark hair and darker features, and I'm no fashion designer, but think the bright clothes he wears really brings those out and works in great contrast), but I agree that Kevin has a lot to offer. For me in terms of Kevin's look, I think it depends on his hair de jour, too; the naturally curly thing or straightened and flattened down like Joe wears it now. Anyway, nice to see the guys gettin' some love here.
Joe is pretty, but almost too pretty.
I don't find Kevin attractive in the SLIGHTEST. Doesn't do it for me at all.
See, that is what really bugs me. I'm probably gonna piss some people off when I say this but it shames me sometimes to be a part of the gay community because it so is vain and superficial that it sickens me. We judge everyone based purely on looks. It's hypocritical because we don't want to be judged by people based purely on our sexuality but yet we judge people purely on their looks. Do people ever stop to think how that makes someone feel? Like Kevin? Always hearing how hot Joe is and never hearing it himself? Kevin seems like a great guy and has such a great personality but no one cares because he isn't the best looking in the world. I come on here and hear people put down celebrities because they're "too pale" or "have a big nose" or "is ugly" blah blah blah. Looks aren't all that matters. That's why so many gay people I know are single. They are picking guys based mostly on looks, passing up good guys because they have a little extra cushion, or buck teeth, or whatever. Looks fade. They can disappear anytime. We have to learn to except that. They refuse to see how great of person the person is on the inside. Besides, some not so faces hide some really hot bodies, but that is beyond the point. It what the person is like, not what they look like that matters. Yes, I may say someone is hot but that isn't what I go for. I'd rather have an average looking, nerdy guy who would sing out of tune to me just because he knows it makes me feel special than have vain and superficial Joe Jonas. Because I go by what matters. What the person is like on the inside. That is what attracts me to Kevin. People need to stop being superficial. It's harmful to us and others. We all need a wake-up call. Let the hate mail begin but someone had to say it. Face it, some people were really harsh and superficial in this thread. I just think we need to see true beauty. Inner beauty. What good is good looks if the guys is abusive? Or doesn't shower? Or is a cheater? Or loves himself more than you? No good that's what. We'll never find true love until we look beyond the surface.
My female friend said sucking dick was gross...I told her she was just jealous because she can't do it as good as I can.
joe turns 19 on august 4th i think someone should makes fakes in honour! :]
Have they bombed in UK have not seen anything about them for ages I know that they have been trying.
Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath , I can go on and on and on. When the lights go down and there's no one left I can go on and on and on. Give it to me, yeah.
Here are some links to specific pictures of Joe Jonas
ummmmmm i have to say no
Does anyone on here have a wireimage account, if so can you post these pictures larger, Thanks.
Here we go! These are some of my personal fakes, I made them myself. Enjoy.
The fake pictures 2, 3 and 5 look like potential underage shots to me.
So they're gone!
Please be aware of our Code of conduct concerning such matters!
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
why thanks anyone anymore?
I've got one with Joe and Zac Efron, but I'm saving that for tomorrow. I hope to have a few new ones as well.
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
damn. my two fave celebrities!
Man, I wonder if their little virginity vow covers circle jerks or lending each other a helping hand after a long day on the road. One can only wonder.
As promised, here's the Joe and Zac. And a bonus jonas pic, Joe fucking JMAC. Enjoy (but don't hurt yerself!)
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
Some likem and some hatem.
But bottom line they are doing what they like, make a great living, have millions of fans, have a great future.
And they are fucking rich as hell..
*smirks* They remind me of Hanson.... and that's NOT a bad thing, no matter what some might say.
La Vie Boheme! No Day But TODAY.
Its gonna take me a couple days to make some more. I am still kinda new to the faking scene so I have to work a lot harder to make them presentable. Thanks for the good word, by the way.
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
how about joe at the teen choice awards. when they had that segment ask the jonas brothers joe came out and he looked like he was bulging. you couldn't see anything though. it was just bulging out
im sorry but i find absolutely nothing attractive about these guys..they aren't hot at all, not even a little bit. sorry just my opinion.
they were hott on the tca's!
So, could we say they were "Burnin' Up"?
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
hell yeah! haha
Doesn't his mouth look inviting
i just wanna c all three of them in a big circle jerk with zac efron and matt dallas and mario lopez
Always do the thing that scares you!
Careful what you say about Nick, he's underage (meaning don't post anything sexually related about him). Just a friendly word of warning.
Anywho back on topic: Joe is hot though in some pictures he looks way too feminine for my tastes. Kevin's hot with shorter, and straightened, hair. He looks hideous with his hair in curls. And when his hair is long and straightened, such as in the fake a couple posts back, he just looks like a queen without the drag.
As for their musical talents...I like a couple songs from them. I don't think they're like incredible or anything, but with how successful they've been...there must be something to them other than their looks. Brad Pitt was considered a hottie too, but now you don't hear anything about him beyond the Brangelina news here and there. Meaning, looks only account for part of it. You have to have talent, perceived or otherwise, to succeed in the music and acting business.
damn i love these boys.
What y'alls think?
Joe being entered orally by his bro Kevin, with Jesse McCartney slipping in the backdoor!
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
Kevin: Ew.
Joe: YES!
I have never been a fan of curly hair. I hate it. And Kevin's huge sideburns aren't very attractive either.
I LOVE Joe. He is the hottest. He has nice hair, nice teeth, and everything else. I can't seem to post pics from imageshack.
damn i love theses boys.
I like Kevin. He's the quiet one...and I agree with the comment that Nick Jonas really needs to quit with the whiney shit. lol

NCSU's recent research revealed an "oversight in a radioisotope dating technique used to date everything from meteorites to geologic samples."
"Planet Earth makes its own water from scratch deep in the mantle" was the article headline in the January 27, 2017, New Scientist's Daily News.
Many scientists claim the fossil record shows many mass extinctions separated by millions of years. Does the Bible give a better explanation?
Without accurately known decay half-lives, all radioisotope ages cannot be accurately determined or be considered absolute ages.

The BioLogos Foundation published a popular-level article by old-earth geologists Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth presenting arguments for an old earth.

Why would the Southeastern USA experience such a devastating earthquake, a region that sits snugly in the middle of a tectonic plate?
Evidently, just prior to both periods, massive tectonic collisions took place near the earth's equator—a tropical zone where rocks undergo heavy weathering.
According to science textbooks, a series of rock layers covers the earth, representing many eras over "millions of years." Are these charts accurate?
New chemical analyses appear to show that some of the early mantle rock may have survived until today in rock formations called flood basalts.
"Lack of oxygen did not hold back evolution of complex life" was the bold announcement in the scientific news media recently.
Dr. Snelling documents the methodology and history of determining present decay constants and half-lives of parent radioisotopes used for dating methods.

A significant fraction of the earth's radioactive elements, particularly uranium and thorium, appear to be in the granitic rock of the upper continental crust.
Mountains and breathtaking valleys adorn our planet. Each one speaks of God's handiwork, but they were formed by water and ice in judgment, not creation.
Meteorites have an amazing story to tell, but it has been misunderstood.
Secular geologists are puzzled by how plate tectonics got started if early earth's surface was covered by a layer of crust that kept the surface motionless.

INDIANAPOLIS – Readers of Colts.com may submit questions during the week and have a chance to have them answered during the middle of each week. Submit your question here.
Here are responses to some of the questions received recently. We thank you for your interest in the Colts. Please make an effort to be concise when submitting a question.
ENRIQUE H. (from Bakersfield, CA) I know you get many uniform questions, but I was wondering just for one season could the Colts wear the blue facemasks like in the old days? Please bring them back.
A: I thought when we added the blue facemasks in 1995 that it was a really cool addition. I thought it accentuated our blue horseshoe really well. I loved it. In 2004, we darkened the shade of blue in our jerseys to match what it was in the 1960s (it had gotten lighter and lighter for some reason), and that's when we switched back to the gray facemasks. I personally didn't care for that change, but it has grown on me to the point where I think it's perfect now. You're showing your long-time patronage of the team by remembering that blue facemask from 1995-03. There were some great moments in it (click here for a look back at 1995, and those blue facemasks). Don't know that it ever will return, though.
BOB B. (from Deltona, FL) Your point regarding keeping Anthony Costanzo at LT is well taken, why mess with success? But they need help at center and right guard.
A: No one wants a solid line more than Ryan. It's ingrained deeply in his DNA. Wherever he thinks we need help and can get it, you'll see him do it. It could be on the O-line. Let's hope Jack's playing ability matches his size (6-9, 320). He'll definitely have the chance. As for Anthony, I think he already is one of the game's best left tackles. Though maybe his position doesn't see the best rusher historically as much as it once did, he still locks up a key position for us, plus his character is top notch. When you have a guy like Anthony, Will Wolford or Tarik Glenn at LT, you just ride the horse.
BRIAN M. (from Fishers, IN) How will the Colts help improve their defense to the next level as one of the best?
A: I don't have anything specific for you, but a percentage of it will have to come from within. We're two years into our 3-4 scheme, and players are more fluent with it. Getting
ISRAEL R. (from Laredo, TX) What are your thoughts on the Colts trading up to try and get Jadeveon Clowney? He would be a good fit, and we need help defensively and at DE to complement
TOM S. (from Brick, NJ) I find the running game troubling. It's been that way since I can remember. The last sustained success we had running the ball was with Edgerrin James. The "Stretch" play was a vital ingredient to that success. Any chance
A: Let's not make any comparisons to EJ (click here for a review of his 1999 rookie season). He had his own style, just as every great runner has had. To win consecutive rushing titles to open a career has been done only about 10 times, and not since him. Trent will be fine, and I join you in hoping we can establish the same type of consistent running presence we had during EJ's heyday. It came in an offense that was so explosive and showed how one element (passing game and running game) can help the other. As for the design of the "stretch" play, I don't think you'll see a return to it in its purest form. A hybrid? Maybe, but I have no inside scoop. Our schemes now are different than those older Colts offenses, but we have some talented minds at work (not to mention a dedication to getting that job done). I think you'll see us do better, and Trent should be a different player with a full off-season here.
A: We were a contender last year, but I know what you're saying. We did a great job under adverse conditions, but I think you saw growth from LaVon and Da'Rick that will help this year. I sure hope so. We need it from them. With healthy bodies, we should be fine. My personal opinion is that any addition at WR would be through the draft. I just don't see us using a UFA pursuit there. Again, I could be wrong, but I'm on the same page here as you. Was that a near-Mark Schlereth reference? Uniform questions lead Mark right now this year, 2-0.
A: Congrats, you're the first person in two years who I published without supplying a name. You touched my LSU and New Orleans roots with your letter. Not so much about Jarvis Landry (who I enjoyed watching when he played for 'dem Tigahs' (as the locals pronounce it rather than 'the Tigers') but for your use of 'dat' rather than 'that.') Click here for Landry's highlights. If you're from Miami, you could pass for New Orleans any day. Landry was a great player in the nation's toughest conference. We'll miss him in Baton Rouge, but it should be fun watching him play on Sundays (maybe for us). If not and we don't take a WR in the draft, we do have some pretty good talent already here. Thanks for the note, and you sound like a person who knows his/her way around a crawfish boil.
LOUIS S. (from Fort Wayne, IN) Is a WR on the Colts' draft board, considering the talent among the draft group, or will the Colts take a different approach and sign a veteran receiver like
A: I'm not sure about our direction with Deion. We'll find out real soon (about a week) when a lot of things get clearer as free agency hits. You saw my comments in the two letters above about the WR position and free agency and the draft. It's a popular topic for questions, and for good reason. Should Deion return, he would be a savvy presence, and you'd love to see him do for Andrew what he did for Tom Brady (particularly doing it for us in the post-season). If we select a WR, we'll plug him in and make him go.
SETH J. (from Virginia) It has been stated we have to be careful with long-term contracts on FAs because of the number of players we will have to re-sign in 2015 and 2016. I understand not much is set in stone in the NFL, but I was under the impression the salary cap number would see a significant jump in 2015-16 due to TV contracts. I understand the whole wait and see motto, but is there any chance that the salary cap jumps in the next few years and if so, what could that mean for our club?
A: The cap jumps annually for a number of different factors. TV contracts certainly help. We could see this year's figure around $133 million. As recently as two weeks ago, it was thought to be around $130 million (up from $123 million in 2013). By March 11, teams must be under the cap (whatever it is) with its top 51 players. If it jumps beyond this year, we'll deal with that then. While it's true we do have room to operate (some say between $35-42 million), it gets gobbled up much quicker than people know, plus you have to keep monies budgeted for injuries, incentives earned, etc. We're in sound shape, and you don't want to get caught in a tough spot when key players are coming due in the near future. Check out the history of the NFL salary cap:
Year | Cap Number | Year | Cap Number |
1994 | $34.608 | 2004 | $80.582 |
1995 | $37.1 | 2005 | $85.5 |
1996 | $40.753 | 2006 | $102.0 |
1997 | $41.454 | 2007 | $109.0 |
1998 | $52.388 | 2008 | $116.0 |
1999 | $57.288 | 2009 | $123.0 |
2000 | $62.172 | 2010 | Uncapped year |
2001 | $67.405 | 2011 | $120.0 |
2002 | $71.101 | 2012 | $120.6 |
2003 | $75.007 | 2013 | $123.0 |
A.J. L. (from Evansville, IN) What do you think the Colts should do in the FA market for upgrades? Do you think they will release anyone and upgrade the OL? Go after an edge rushing DE for the 3-4? Do you think Bjoern Werner will begin to show what Ryan Grigson saw in him as a top pick last year?
A: You ask all the pertinent and popular questions. I don't see us releasing any UFAs signed last year. How we approach this year's crop that is due to hit it on March 11 will be known soon. We've been quiet. A lot of people target the line, some do WRs and some like you want improvements on the line and the defense. There's no question we need to keep building on defense, but I think we'll look within first. Bjoern will keep developing. There was not as much room for him to contribute right away last year since we shopped heavily on defense in free agency. I think he's come in for a little criticism that could be a bit unfair, and I bet he shows everyone very soon why he was taken where Ryan took him. Be patient, and I think you'll be happy.

Thread: Anyone else stuck in 05.14+ baseband purgatory?
05-23-2011, 01:30 AM #1Anyone else stuck in 05.14+ baseband purgatory?
I had a perfectly fine jailbroken and unlocked 32-gig 3GS a while back, but it got physically damaged. I got a replacement at the Apple store. The replacement they gave me was a shiny-new 3GS .... but with 05.15.04 as its baseband.
I got excited when I learned about the 06.15.00 unlock. But the excitement turned to disappointment when I learned it axed the GPS, which I really do need (I travel often and use the real GPS not triangulation).
I constantly check all the usual sites for new news .... it's a painful waiting game. My fingers are crossed for a 6.15-to-5.13 downgrader but it seems to not be a priority in the slightest, as the iPhone 4 has the spotlight.
Anyone else stuck in 3G/3GS baseband purgatory due to not wanting to damage the GPS?
I've read (but not seen any confirmation) that Gevey cards for the iPhone 4 will work in a 3GS. Physically interfacing the Gevey to your sim may be the tricky part. You'd have to cut a hole in your sim for the chip and find a way to prevent it from moving around in the sim tray. Perhaps double-sided tape would work.
I recently picked up an iPhone 4 that will need a Gevey for me to use on TMO. Since I will have to cut up my sim anyway to fit the iPhone 4, I may give it a try in the 3GS.

There had been speculation that Sandberg was being considered for the major league managing vacancies in Boston, St. Louis and Chicago but none of those jobs would pan out for the Hall of Famer. Sandberg's staff will include Sal Rende, ente...

Ted, Tito & Bluster in Boston

All good things must end. Sadly, some fizzle out a lot quicker than you'd expect. And so did the storied relationship between Manager Terry Francona and the Red Sox end on Friday when owner John Henry passed on picking-up the future HOFer's option. The man who helped engineer two victory parades in eight years for the Hub City apparently hadn't built-up the goodwill to weather a storm of ...

Gibson's Arizona club goes from worst to first As the 2011 season draws to a close, most of the playoff teams have staked their claim on a postseason berth. Only the wildcard qualifications have yet to be determined and those will excitingly come down to the final games of the season. While I was opposed to the wildcard implementation in 1995, I now see that it promotes exciting September b...

Can The Red Sox Hold On Much Longer?
Posted on 23 Sep 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
With six games left to play in the 2011 season, the Boston Red Sox are up a creek with one paddle. Their hopes and dreams are not entirely squandered, but they are certainly making it a little too dramatic here in Boston. It is a bit shocking to see them finishing the season they way they started. Back in April, all I could do was laugh it off and I didn't think it could get any worse. But, unl...

Tim Wakefield FINALLY Notches Career Win No. 200.
Posted on 16 Sep 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
For those of you living in a cave, Tim Wakefield became the oldest and only active player in baseball, to record 200 career wins on Tuesday night in front of a very dedicated and patient crowd at Fenway Park. The key word in that run-on sentence is patient. Red Sox Nation waited for this monumental win since the end of July (47 days to be exact). It certainly gives meaning to the phrase, "...

MLB Power Rankings: Charlie Manuel and the Best Managers in Baseball

Yesterday we reported that two separate incidents had occurred at an airport in Alaska when out-of-town drivers, following instructions given by Apple Maps, took the taxiway to reach the passenger terminal. They even ignored signs along the way and didn't realize they were on the airport's Taxiway Bravo until they were stopped by the authorities. This Apple Maps glitch is likely to be fixed soon, but Nokia hasn't lost any time in mocking the mishap. The Finnish manufacturer's official UK account has tweeted a picture of a Lumia smartphone with the Nokia Here maps app displaying the correct directions for the passenger terminal.
There isn't the first time that Nokia has decided to have some fun at Apple's expense. On September 10th, shortly after Apple had announced the colorful new iPhone 5c models, Nokia's Twitter account sent out a tweet showing off Nokia smartphones in similar colors and plastic body, with the words "Imitation is the best form of flattery" emblazoned on top. While that tweet garnered more than 40,000 retweets and favorites, the one mocking Apple Maps hasn't done so well as yet. In fact, it has received some negative comments, with users on Twitter even advising Nokia to focus more on its own products "rather than making fun."

According to court documents, on May 14th, 2012, a Minnesota man, William Blumenstine, and his wife Kathy Jo Williams filed a lawsuit in Minnesota District Court (case no. 0:2012cv01162) alleging he suffered bladder cancer after taking Actos. Actos (pioglitazone) is a type 2 diabetes drug, manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceutical Industries Limited and promoted as decreasing insulin resistance. Blumenstine claims he began taking Actos from 2004 to 2008 to treat his type 2 diabetes. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2008. Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages for the injuries.
On April 9th 2012, US District Judge Rebecca Doherty, overseeing the Actos Multidistrict Litigation (In Re: Actos Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2299, U.S. District Court, Western District of Louisiana) signed a Direct Filing Order making it easier for individual plaintiffs to file lawsuit alleging injury caused by Actos. New victims can file a lawsuit directly in the MDL. Bloomberg reported in March 13th, 2012 that "Takeda, Asia's biggest drugmaker, may face as many as 10,000 claims that Actos causes bladder cancer after U.S. regulators found last year the drug was linked to the disease."
AttorneyOne.com, a recognized authority on law, can provide helpful advice and simple solutions including how to get in contact with legal counsel so that, in case of Actos severe adverse events, someone can easily and inexpensively deal with it. As Mr. Burke, director of Media Relations for AttorneyOne.com, added, "What all this information really illustrates is that threat from Actos remains. For that reason, our focus should squarely fall on getting the word out and assisting people in finding the right legal assistance."
In June 2011, the FDA required a new safety label stating that: "The use of Actos for more than one year may increase a person's chance of bladder cancer". The French Medicines Agency conducted a study of 155,000 patients over four years which revealed that taking Actos could increase the occurrence of bladder cancer by up to 40%.
AttorneyOne.com has further information on Actos lawsuits including how to get in contact with legal counsel.
Headquartered in San Diego, CA Attorney One was founded in 2004 and is not a law firm. They offer a nationwide legal service which helps consumers find the best representation for their legal needs.

Lower Back Pain07/21/2010 |
Recently i performed a heavy deadlift workout at the gym with an overly tightened belt. It`s been three weeks now and I`m still feeling pain. The soreness is mostly in my lower back towards the right side. I can bend over all i want but i can`t twist my back at all. I have no other symptoms except for being sore. Do you have any idea what might be wrong with me. Thank you for your time.

Anti-Hair Loss Shampoos : Rub-a-Dub Dub – But Gently PleaseOne easy-to-try option is a shampoo specifically designed to increase the health of existing hair and to reduce the rate of hair loss in both men and women. There are several sources to investigate specific shampoos, research studies which can be accessed to determine the effectiveness of many of these products. Good professional sources include dermatologists and licensed cosmeticians who see hair loss conditions frequently and have had the opportunity to observe the efficacy of a variety of shampoos. As well, an Internet "Google" search will provide hundreds of products, complete with testimony and small research studies.It's easy to get confused when investigating the hundreds of shampoos available. With some background knowledge of what has shown to be effective in larger, previous studies, however, you can make more intelligent choices about the shampoos you choose for experimentation. And that is the great thing about shampoos – they are relatively inexpensive in this maze of hair loss/regrowth methods, so you can try lots of them without breaking your budget!1. Surfactants: People feel good when their shampoos lather up nicely. Lather, however, is just for psychological effect. Somehow we believe that the more lather a shampoo produces, the cleaner our hair must be getting. Hogwash! The ingredient that causes lather is call a surfactant and does not have cleaning properties. Other ingredients in shampoos actually do the cleaning. Surfactants are, however, pretty harsh, and, for someone who is experiencing more-than-normal hair loss, surfactants should be avoided. There are lots of shampoos out there without it – try some.2. Herbal Ingredients: The most notable herb with some success in hair loss difficulty is Saw Palmetto. Shampoos with this ingredient are certainly worth a try. Saw Palmetto seems to inhibit the production of DHT in men, for example, and DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and close up.3. Nettle and bay have also been helpful to some people. Shampoos which include these might help you too.4. Essential Oils: These oils are concentrated ones which come from plants such as lavender. From ancient times, these have been used to stimulate healthy hair and to decrease the rate of hair loss. We know that we have much to learn from early medicine men and healers. Perhaps this is another example.5. Tea Tree Oil: Many swear by this ingredient, and there are several brands of this on the market. So popular are these shampoos, you can find them at most any drug store as well as health product retailers. As an aside, tea tree oil has also been found to be effective in the prevention of head lice infestations.There are no definitive studies to show that shampoos can actually result in regrowth of hair that is caused by what we all "permanent" conditions, largely the result of heredity and hormones. However, early prevention is important, and experimenting with shampoos during these early stages may provide invaluable help in reducing the rate of loss.

Do you have a business? Would you like to help promote the Marc Gunn, the Brobdingnagian Bards or Mage Records, in general? Did you know you can buy CDs from Mage Records at wholesale prices for resale?
Yup! You can. You need to purchase a minimum of 30 units (aka CDs) to take advantage of the special offer. From there, you can start selling the CDs at Irish festivals, Renaissance faires, record stores, Celtic shops, Highland Games, veterinarian offices, pet stores, on eBaby, at Amazon, or wherever you want. Just sell them and order some more to keep selling.

In fact it's pretty much a guaranteed way of getting anyone to open up and talk no matter what the situation might be.
Fanny Ardant (screenshot from "Nos retrouvailles")
Open-ended questions will (essentially) give the person - in the case which follows, the one being interviewed - the chance to answer with more than just a simple "yes" or "no".
Sadly in France, all too often, a radio or television journalist will pose a mammoth question which, you just know, is going to elicit a response that'll probably end up being shorter.
It's a style which seems to be the accepted norm rather than the exception.
Maybe it's journalists wanting to show just how much they understand the subject under discussion.
Or perhaps they have inflated egos and are all-too-engrossed in themselves and their "take" on the matter, to the detriment of the person they're supposed to be interviewing.
Of course, it's a generalisation. Some can simply pose a pertinent question and the wait for the answer.
There are some very good interviewers with years of experience and capable of teasing a response - even from the most recalcitrant guest.
One such example is Jean-Marc Morandini, who hosts (among other things) a daily one-hour show on Europe 1 radio and a similar programme on one of the country's TNT channels, Direct 8, in the evenings.
All right, they're not exactly mind-stretching or highbrow. Morandini specialises in celebrity gossip and the media, and has a blog (which he's constantly promoting) that's not for anyone wanting a scholarly approach to news.
But even with his years of experience, Morandini sometimes finds himself up against a tough nut to crack, as was the case on Wednesday morning during an interview with one of France's finest actresses, Fanny Ardant.
She had been invited on to the show to talk about her role in the made-for-television film "Nos retrouvailles" scheduled to be screened on France 2 television in the evening and for which she had received some glowing critics (even if the film itself was less lauded).
But as you can hear from the interview, Ardant was being less than co-operative - and a ropey telephone line probably didn't help much.
You can clearly hear Morandini struggling to keep the flow going, although somehow he made it with a laugh of relief to the end of two-and-a-half minutes which includes pauses that were not so much pregnant as they were laboured (ouch).
It's all in French of course.
It raises a smile, but equally the listener is as grateful as the presenter when it's wrapped up.

Affordable housing and cyclist groups don't like neighborhood planning groups
Marty Graham 3:19 p.m., March 30
I told Tosh that I'd heard of several people at the post office having affairs, but that I'd never heard about him getting into any. And the women seemed to dig him. He said, "That's because I'm married."
I asked where he met his wife. "I met her at a bar." Since Bob told me earlier that he and Tosh had met at a bar, I said, "Who haven't you met at a bar?" He said, "I really had it made, because it was a bar in Hillcrest. I was one of the only straight guys there."
He then told me about how he met his wife a previous time, when he was on a date -- with her friend. I said, "You're lucky that your wife was cool with that. A lot of women wouldn't let something like that die. Instead of always hearing 'Do I look fat in these pants?' you'd hear 'Do you think Stephanie would look better in these pants? You probably do, since you dated her first.'"

The Art of Tokenization
Tokenization The process of segmenting running text into words and sentences. Electronic text is a linear sequence of symbols (characters or words or phrases). Naturally, before any real text processing is to be done, text needs to be segmented into linguistic units such as words, punctuation, numbers, alpha-numerics, etc. This process is called tokenization. In English, words are often separated from each other by blanks (white space), but not all white space is equal. Both "Los Angeles" and "rock 'n' roll" are individual thoughts despite... [More]

Spatial Relations through Prepositions What is a preposition? Prepositions are function words and characteristically express spatial relations. Like any function word, prepositions are important for the structure they bring to a sentence. A function word has little semantic content of its own and chiefly indicates a grammatical relationship. The extraction of semantics (that is, meaning) from English text is chiefly served by examination of content words. Function words serve an important role in determining the structure of the sentence,... [More]

Modeling Characteristics (Triple Extraction - Part 5)
Linking Verbs Linking verbs are about characteristics. Linking verbs do not express actions. Instead, they connect the subject of the verb to additional information about the subject. In contrast to intranstives , linking verbs cannot end sentences, nor can they be followed immediately by adverbs. These must be followed by either nouns or adjectives, one or the other; those nouns and adjectives may be single words or multiple-word phrases. In addition, linking verbs constitute a small class of probably no more than a few dozen verbs.... [More]

Two-Place Transitive Verbs (VC) The second two-place transitive verb construction is similar in that the action of the verb is divided equally in two places. Constructions with VC verbs are often more subjective in nature. The ability to express the context of the action (through reification) is a must in this case. Given the business scenarios expressed in the VG section, the loss of one of the triples would have meant the loss of important context. But it would not have impacted the objective truth of what remained. Both: Clark Gable gave... [More]

Triple Extraction from Unstructured Text (Intro)
Triple Extraction from Verbs Verbs are basic to sentences. Verbs determine the other constituents (of the sentence), and define the relationship between these constituents. A verb can tell you that a certain noun phrase functions as a subject, or that another other noun phrase functions as an object, or a predicate noun, or perhaps an object complement. There are six types of verbs that define core sentences. These verbs are differentiated by two criteria: The constituent that follows immediately to its right. The relationship of the verb to...

Modeling Business Scenarios (Triple Extraction - Part 3)
Two-Place Transitive Verbs (Vg) When we looked at transitive verbs, we saw that action was passed to a single object. We might refer to this as a "one-place" transitive verb as in, all the action passes to one place. In a two place transitive verb, we might reasonably infer that the action passes to two places. Vg transitive verbs are followed immediately by two noun phrases. Each of these noun phrases are equal recipients of the action performed by the subject.
