"Revamped Diamond Princess"
I have just received Captain's Circle elite status, so have cruised with Princess many times. Diamond Princess used to be my very favourite cruise ship. After the last cruise, I probably wouldn't travel on it again. It is very focused on giving the Japanese a great experience and doesn't really cater as well for other nationalities any more. The ship was about 80% Japanese people and 20% other nationalities. Activities are geared towards Japanese people and every activity or game or anything, there are hundreds there to participate. Food also is Japanese style which is nice to try on occasions. The cabins are roomy and the staff excellent in their service areas. Buffet service was slow in the evenings. Unfortunately any time dining is not available on this ship which is a great shame. The dining staff were very helpful and looked after our needs well. We found that the Japanese mostly use the Oasis (pay for) area, so the spas and outdoor pool area was mainly uncrowded. We didn't visit the Izumi Japanese bath as we thought it too expensive to try. The ports we visited on this cruise were amazing, especially the South Taiwan ports. I would highly recommend cruising with Princess, but not the Diamond Princess.Read more

"What an amazing cruise"
Well, this was our first excursion from anywhere apart from Auckland. We had both been on board a Princess Vessel previously (Sun Princess), but this was the first Cruise on the Diamond. We had a terrific flight over to Oz with Air NZ, then an informative afternoon in Sydney, and best of all, it this was a free one! Next morning, we trundled down the street with our luggage, and found the vessel. It was a much larger one in comparison to others we had been on. No sooner had we got to the port, we said goodbye to our luggage (No, they weren't stolen!) and casually boarded the ship. As it was around noon, decided to test out the on board restaurant. As usual, the meal was outstanding. But more about that later. After the on board emergency test, we casually tasted our first drink and waved goodbye to the land as we departed. Unlike our last cruise we didn't go under the Harbour Bridge, as the Diamond Princess is too tall to do that! Well, the next twelve days simply flew by. We were extremely well fed, and there was always a tea/coffee machine available! The first sight of land was when we ventured through the fiords. Despite the poor weather, the picturesque views were ultra fantastic. During the night, we went through Fouveaux straight and spotted the lighthouse on Stewart Island. Next day, we were in Dunedin. The entire trip for me was very good. Nothing seemed to be a problem for our Cabin Steward. To be honest, I rarely got time to sit down and relax. There were so many options to try. I even partook a few amazing afternoon teas where it was like a 5 star Hotel! The evening meals were all outstanding. For example a Duck Terrine, Apricot Preserve, Ossobuco Agnolotti (a crisp sage with veal) Blueberry Mojita Sorbet, and the final treat that night was the Chocolate extravaganza. That was a Chocolate Raspberry Mousse with Vanilla Creme Brulee and crunchy Shortbread! My mouth is watering as I recall this. But wait, one could order what ever they wanted from the menu! There were many options. I was in wonderland! All in all, I thought the trip was excellent. I was never bored, there were so many things to do. We even missed out on a couple of events due to attending other ones! Still, that gives us the desire to undertake another cruise soon. This was our sixth cruise, and even as I recount it, my desire to get out on the open sea again is astounding. I watch out my window here in Auckland and whenever I see a passenger liner going in or out, recall my previous cruises, and I think recall the fantastic times I had on board various ships, and of course, cant wait for my next cruise!Read more

"Beautiful ship, top service."
Went to Singapore in March/April 2015 on the Diamond Princess. Beautiful ship all pretty new. Cabins are quite roomy. We had an inside cabin and much bigger than the Sun and Sea Princess. But it is a larger ship. Good amount of closet an hanging space as well as shelves. In room entertainment eg TV great choice of movies many channels. Your cruising information at all times on TV. The food was restaurant class but would have liked more vegetables to come with meals but you could ask for extra and it was no problem. The Japanese Baths was amazing and relaxing only the price of a cocktail for 2 hours. The entertainment could do with improvement. There wasn't very much through the day just Basics. The shows were 3 stars. More on deck entertainment would be good not just 1 or 2 times in a 20 night cruise. Captains parties was a joke no one saw the Captain or his crew the whole cruise walking around or otherwise. Other ships always interacted.Read more

"Dancing on the Diamond"
My husband and I cruised on the Diamond hoping we would be able to dance every night. And we did!! It was fantastic fun dancing to the great music of Evolution and the Crimson Duo. They were terrific to dance to playing anything we asked and were so friendly by the end of the cruise we could count them as friends and hope we are lucky enough to catch up with them on another cruise. The bar staff, particularly in the Wheelhouse Bar were so friendly, greeting us every night by name and remembering our order. We loved the anytime dining option, eating in the restaurant where we were served delicious food. It was always served quickly and again the staff are unbelievably friendly and efficient. Everything works like clockwork. We had a balcony cabin and enjoyed having breakfast on our balcony every morning. We did not do any of the tours offered on the ship because we had toured New Zealand by land previously but we enjoyed the port lectures which gave us options of self guided things to do. The presenter had quite a sense of humour which made the presentation quite amusing as well as informative. I think the one big impression of our cruise with princess was that it was a happy ship.Read more

"Grand Asia - Very Relaxing "
While this wasn't my first cruise it was my partners first and he had a ball. The ports were amazing (although we always wish we could stay longer at each place, but that's cruising for you) the crew were so accommodating and friendly, the cabin was more than I could have asked for, it was beautiful and very spacious with a gorgeous balcony. The food was delicious and there was so much choice on offer. The ship it's self was amazing, the Diamond Princess is huge with lots on offer. I did enjoy the shopping on board however I do wish there was a bit more of a mix instead of just the upper market stores just to keep it varied. The entertainment was great although again I wish there was a little more choice during the day, for events that may suit the younger couples. But overall this was a very rewarding trip, we had the most beautiful and relaxing days with gorgeous weather, food and not to forget the people we shared it all with. I was very impressed with Princess Cruises as well as Cruise Sale Finder for setting it all up for us. It was a magical trip overall and I would 100% recommend to anyone.Read more

Frequently asked questions
Cruising is such a great value holiday as your fare includes accommodations, all main meals onboard ship, onboard daytime activities, and night-time entertainment including live stage shows. One reason cruising is good value is because you'll know what most of your holiday will cost before you go. Generally your only extra onboard expenses could be your beverages (though these are sometimes included on luxury ships), optional shore excursions, personal services such as spa treatments, and any purchases at the gift and duty free shops.
All your main meals are included on a cruise. Typically for breakfast, lunch and dinner there is an a la carte option (order from a menu) or a buffet option. There is so much choice available, and the food is excellent. However, your cruise doesn't always just include these 3 main meals. You can in fact eat non-stop for 24 hours a day if you like.
Most cruise lines also offer specialty dining as an alternative option to the main restaurants. There is typically a small cover charge for this. However, the food is well worth it, and the specialty restaurants are normally smaller and more intimate than the main restaurants so they make for a great place to celebrate a special occasion.
The entertainment on board comes in many different styles and formats but is always included in the cruise fare. In the evening there are shows in the main show lounge (except small ship cruising). Typically there are two sessions a night so, depending on your dinner time, you can always catch the show. The style of these shows changes daily. Some nights it will include all of the ship's entertainment crew with a Las Vegas style production. Other nights there may be a guest entertainer or comedian. There is something for everyone.
The entertainment doesn't stop with the nightly performances. Each night the ship provides a newsletter detailing all the activities that will take place the following day. These activities may include dance classes, arts and crafts, table tennis, live music, tournaments, trivia quizzes, recent release movies, and other deck games and deck parties. The great thing about a cruise is that you can do as much or as little as you like. If your idea of a holiday is sitting back with a good book, you can do that. If you like to be entertained there is no shortage of entertainment.
One of the main reasons for a cruise making such a great family holiday is the "kids club" facilities offered on board, and they are all included in your cruise fare. Typically the kids clubs are broken into 3 different age groups - 3 to 6 years, 7 to 12 years, and 13 – 17 years. In these dedicated children's facilities they are looked after by trained staff and the facilities are open from 9am – 10pm. Parents can check their children into the "kids club" whenever it suits them. Children love these facilities as it is "their space" aboard the ship.
NB Each cruise line has limited space on board the ship for children as the kids club facilities can cater for a limited number of children, and any child booked onto a cruise has access to the kids club. If you are planning on taking a cruise during the school holidays then you need to book early as the children's space will sell out. Also, while most cruise lines have kids club facilities there are some exceptions (not common) so you should check this at time of booking.
The chances are you will not get seasick. On a cruise most people do not suffer from motion sickness. However, if you are going to get seasick then it is likely to happen in the first 24 hours. If you limit the amount of alcohol you consume and activities you do in the first 24 hours you can reduce the chance of this happening. Another thing you can do is select a midship cabin on a lower deck. A cabin in the middle of the ship (midship) will experience the least amount of movement.
There are a number of other precautions/medications you can take, and these can be purchased before you travel at a pharmacy or health shop. Otherwise you can buy them on board.
The best thing you can do if you feel seasick is visit the ship's doctor. They can give you an injection that will give you relief from your seasickness within 30 minutes. You have planned and saved for your holiday, don't ruin it by feeling sick. Visit the doctor for the injection and get it treated straight away. If you have travel insurance then you can claim this back.
IMPORTANT: A visit to the doctor on board will cost you money so we strongly recommend you get travel insurance before you depart on your holiday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shore excursions are pre-organised tours & sightseeing options that you purchase on board for when your ship is in a port of call. Every ship has a "Shore Ex" desk with qualified staff who can advise you of different excursions available, what's best to do and generally help you with information on the particular region your ship is visiting.
Shore excursions can be booked on board your ship however some cruise lines allow you to pre-book and pay for excursions online. If there is a tour you really want to do then we recommend you pre-book it as popular tours do sell out.
Shore excursions are not compulsory, you are free to go ashore and return to the ship as many times as you like.
When you go ashore it is important to note:
You must take your cruise I.D. card (ticket) as proof for re-embarking.
The city or town you are visiting may not be close to the port where the ship is docked, cruise lines normally organise shuttle buses (at a minimal charge) throughout the day to and from the city centre.
You must return to the ship at the stipulated time as the ship WILL NOT wait for late passengers.
Tour costs vary depending on the activity, itinerary and inclusions. There is always a wide variety on offer for all age groups and abilities that can start from as little as $25.
Sometimes you can book your tour, when you arrive at your port, direct from the operator at a much cheaper price. However, this comes with a buyer beware warning. The operators used by the cruise line are trusted professionals so you will not be ripped off. Also, if something goes wrong on your tour, the cruise line knows where you are and will take the necessary steps to pick you up if your vehicle has broken down. In extreme cases they will even hold the ship's departure for you if you are late returning from a tour booked through the ship. They will not wait if you go direct through the operator, as they will not know where you are.
Unlike airlines, there are no luggage restrictions on a cruise. However you need to consider that you need to store it in your cabin for your holiday. There is plenty of storage space in your cabin but if you are travelling in a quad cabin you may want to impose your own restrictions.
NB It is important to remember that airlines have different luggage restrictions, so if you are flying either pre or post cruise then you may want to keep within their allowances.
Cruise lines around the world do not all operate using the same onboard currency. The currency varies from cruise line to cruise line with the most common currency being US dollars. P&O Cruises Australia, Carnival Spirit and the Sun and Dawn Princess all use Australian dollars as their onboard currency.
Cruising is a cashless society which means when you purchase anything on board you do not pay for it in cash. When you board the ship it is like checking into a hotel, you can either give a credit card imprint or the cruise line will take a cash deposit of approximately $300. You are then given a "cruise card". Your cruise card is your door key (on most ships), has your dinner table number on it (for traditional dining), and it is used for making any purchases aboard.
When you make a purchase with your cruise card, it is swiped and a receipt is printed that you will need to sign. The cost of the purchase is then added to your onboard account which you settle at the end of your cruise.
Many cruises on our websites come with onboard credits. This could be from a special promotion that is being run by the cruise line or because of the relationship we have with the cruise lines that allows us to select certain cruises to receive onboard credit. The amount of onboard credit does normally depend on the length of the cruise.
If your reservation receives onboard credit we will confirm this with you in writing and then your onboard account will automatically be in credit for the amount we have confirmed to you. This credit can be used towards any onboard expenditure that is charged back to your cabin. It is important to note that if you do not spend all of your onboard credit it will not be refunded to you in cash so it is best you spend it all while on board.
Tipping/gratuities are a big issue for a lot of Australasian cruise passengers as it is not our custom to reward good service in this way. What cruise passengers need to consider is that outside of Australasia, the remuneration for personnel in the service industry is quite low. Hence, to keep up a high standard, employees have the incentive of earning additional income via the tips they receive. At the end of the day, how much you tip is up to you.
The most common way cruise lines suggest tipping, is that they add a suggested amount to your daily onboard account. You can choose to keep that on your account or you can ask the purser to remove it. This suggested amount is divided out amongst your cabin steward, your dinner waiter, your assistant waiter, your wine steward, and maitre d'.
Some cruise lines ask passengers to wait until the end of the cruise and they discreetly leave an envelope in your cabin in which to place the appropriate amount. Some cruise lines state that the fare you have paid includes gratuities. Some cruise lines ask that you pre-pay the gratuities with your cruise fare prior to your holiday departure.
Again, the amount you tip is up to you (unless it is prepaid) and it isn't intended to have a negative impact on your holiday. Do what feels most comfortable to you.
The rules surrounding where you can smoke on board a cruise ship vary from cruise line to cruise line. However, none have taken steps to ban smoking completely. Most only allow smoking in designated areas on the open decks. Many have banned smoking on cabin balconies as this poses a fire risk.
Many cruise lines have rules restricting you from taking your own alcohol on board your cruise ship. If you have pre purchased duty free alcohol the ship will take it off you when you board and store it away for you. This alcohol will be delivered to your cabin the night before you disembark. The same applies if you purchase it when you are in port. Any purchases made on board will also be delivered the night before you disembark.
However, Princess Cruises will allow you to bring a bottle of wine aboard which you can drink at dinner or in your cabin.
These restrictions were put in place to create a safer environment on board your cruise ship, where people drink within a controlled drinking environment.

The Cognitive Networking Alliance (CogNeA) is an industry alliance that's been formed to promote a worldwide cognitive radio (CR) standard that would allow new levels of performance in portable devices such as cell phones and computers. Backed by ETRI, GEDC, HP, Motorola, Philips, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Texas Instruments, and the Georgia Electronic Design Center, among others, the CR standard would utilize the ultra-high-frequency (UHF) band -- the so-called "white-space" -- currently used for television broadcasting. Use of this white space for wireless applications could enable the broad bandwidth demanded by wireless video, while also providing extended range, improved coverage and superior penetration through walls.
The standard will be based on Cognitive Radio technology operating over TV White Spaces , and is being defined in compliance with regulatory rules that have been announced by the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) action dated November 4, 2008, by Second Report and Order (FCC 08-260). The Alliance intends to bring the standard to an international status in collaboration with an existing Standards Definition Organization.
"CogNeA brings together a number of influential international companies and groups, in order to develop a wireless standard and platform for multimedia networking in the home as well as for broadband Internet access," says CogNeA Chairman Kiran Challapali.
The Alliance has completed the steps of defining a Marketing Requirements Document and a Technical Requirements Document for the mentioned applications. The Technical Committee is currently defining the standard for the CogNeA Common Radio Convergence Platform. The platform consists of a Physical Layer (PHY) and a Media Access Layer (MAC). The alliance intends to open a draft standard to public comments in the first half of 2009.

text: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 New in the Literature: Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (BMJ 2012 Feb 20 [Epub ahead of print]) A specific exercise strategy that focuses on strengthening eccentric exercises for the rotator cuff and concentric/eccentric exercises for the scapula stabilizers is effective in reducing pain and improving shoulder function in patients with persistent subacromial impingement syndrome, say authors of an article published online in BMJ. By extension, they add, this exercise strategy reduced the need for arthroscopic subacromial decompression within the 3-month timeframe used in the study. This randomized, participant and single assessor blinded controlled study was conducted in an orthopedic department in a Swedish university hospital. Orthopedic specialists recruited 102 patients with longstanding (more than 6 months) persistent subacromial impingement syndrome that did not respond to earlier conservative treatment. The specific exercise strategy consisted of strengthening eccentric exercises for the rotator cuff and concentric/eccentric exercises for the scapula stabilizers in combination with manual mobilization. The control exercise program consisted of unspecific movement exercises for the neck and shoulder. Patients in both groups received 5 to 6 individual guided treatment sessions during 12 weeks. In between these supervised sessions the participants performed home exercises once or twice a day for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the Constant-Murley shoulder assessment score evaluating shoulder function and pain. Secondary outcomes were patients' global impression of change because of treatment and decision regarding surgery. Most (97, 95%) participants completed the 12-week study. There was a significantly greater improvement in the Constant-Murley score in the specific exercise group than in the control exercise group (24 points vs 9 points). Significantly more patients in the specific exercise group reported successful outcome (defined as large improvement or recovered) in the patients' global assessment of change because of treatment— 69% (35/51) vs 24% (11/46); odds ratio 7.6 (95% confidence interval 3.1 to 18.9). A significantly lower proportion of patients in the specific exercise group subsequently chose to undergo surgery—20% (10/51) vs 63% (29/46); odds ratio 7.7 (95% confidence interval 3.1 to 19.4).

South West England Genealogical Indexes
From the early years of the 18C a number of Newspapers were produced in the Somerset area. Bristol, Bath, Sherborne, Yeovil and Taunton were the locations of some of the first though few of the earliest publications survive. By the 19C newspapers had become far more stable in their production and the quantity of local news they covered increased. Major items were often the gruesome accidents of the times, drownings, shootings and fatalities involving the new machinery of the industrial revolution. Property sales, war details , runaways and notices to creditors often give useful genealogical and local history leads not found in any other records of the time. Details from these papers cover the whole of the South West of England majoring on Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. Details from the early newspapers are generally very brief and thus please don't be too disappointed if you go to the trouble of getting a copy of an article only to find that all that is mentioned is a name and location. References to lawyers and solicitors are usually just an appendage to a property sale. House sales, post mortems and runaway apprentice notices often give much more information especially in the later articles. I have indexed a selection from three different newspapers in these pages. These cover the years 1773-1778, 1810-1815 and 1831-1833.

The Port St. Joe Redevelopment Agency is working to make that vision a reality.
At the last meetings for 2012 of the Port St. Joe City Commission and the Gulf County Board of Commissioners, Gail Alsobrook, executive director of the PSJRA, has provided initial designs and overview for a new BayPark: Gateway to the Bay.
The initial design is the creation of a team comprised of Erin Searcy, Gena Johnson, George Coon, Eric Davidson, Mark Hawley and Steve Butler, largely local professionals working with The Associates LLC out of Panama City, which was the contractor for the planning document under a grant secured by the PSJRA.
�They are all local people and very talented,� Alsobrook said. �We have a lot of talent in this community. This has been a labor love for these people.�
The preliminary plan � the first public workshop on the plan will be held at 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 15, just prior to the Port St. Joe City Commission�s first meeting of 2013 � has several objectives, Alsobrook said.
One is to connect the community to St. Joseph Bay and in turn the Port St. Joe downtown to the BayPark.
Another is to redevelop the �dead beach� area adjacent to the Port St. Joe Marina and the relocation of the Cape San Blas Lighthouse to BayPark.
The city and county both applied to receive the lighthouse for relocation as the threat of erosion at the current site, on U.S. Air Force property. The city was awarded the lighthouse last week (see related story A1).
The tentative plan for BayPark is broken into three major components: a promenade, the lighthouse and a coastal ecological center.
The promenade would represent the redevelopment of the industrial area adjacent to the Port St. Joe Marina but outside of the St. Joseph Bay Aquatic Preserve.
The promenade would provide a welcoming entrance to the park and along the bayfront would provide a host of recreational opportunities for folks of all ages, Alsobrook said.
That includes a replica sailing ship with hand-pumped water cannon and water slide.
There would also be spots for quiet reflection or reading or sunning and there would also be an area with a fire pit suitable for hosting small groups.
The promenade would also provide additional seating for viewing of events held on the stage at what is now George Core Park and would offer interactive activities for children pertaining to the marine culture of the area.
�The promenade would be a welcoming place and would also provide for simple enjoyment of the BayPark coastal edge,� Alsobrook said.
Also along the coastline would be Discovery Island, a natural and ecologically friendly spot for folks to hike or simply enjoy the water.
On the back side of the park, close to what is now Baltzell Avenue, the BayPark would offer a Coastal Ecology Resource Center and community center.
�This would be created in a phased approach to meet the needs of the region,� Alsobrook said.
There would be larger meeting/event space and the center would celebrate the natural resources of the area.
Alsobrook said she envisions something along the lines of the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (ANERR) in Eastpoint in Franklin County.
There is also the hope that the BayPark would offer something of a turtle rescue preserve, something Gulf World in Panama City Beach has long desired as many of its sea turtle rescues in recent years have occurred in Gulf County and St. Joseph Bay.
The final component would center on history of the area, with the centerpiece the Cape San Blas Lighthouse and ancillary buildings, including two keepers� quarters and an oil shed.
This area would be situated behind the promenade and west of the Ecology Center.
It would include upgrades and renovations to the historic Maddox House along the waterfront and at the far end, the Tourist Development Welcome Center would provide one bookend to the park, the other being the Chamber of Commerce Living Color building.
�The goal would be consolidating the story of the community and the bay by centralizing educational, cultural and historic programs,� Alsobrook said. �We want to tell the bay story by centralizing regional assets.�
She envisioned, among many potential components of the area, an interactive exhibit in which the oral histories of long-time residents could be recorded and listened to in perpetuity.
�If you notice, the BayPark would be right at the gateway to the bay, centrally located on this side of the bay providing an opening to the entire bay,� Alsobrook said.
Alsobrook also expressed confidence that the PSJRA could find private sector partners and grants to transform the BayPark plan from paper to reality.
�I have no doubt,� she said.

Denver Biennial: A butterfly jailbreak, but otherwise a good start, thanks to the art
Not everything went well at the start of Denver's Biennial of the Americas Tuesday. First the P.A. went silent at the kick off press conference, leaving the crowd struggling to hear Governor Hickenlooper and Mayor Hancock praise each other for all their good work on the event. Somehow the sound of palms hitting backs was still audible.
Then the butterflies escaped, which was much more serious. Dozens of them were supposed to remain captive in the art installation called "The Mirror Stages" on the 16th Street Mall. But the holes were too big in their white string cages and, well, the butterflies were free to fly, as the saying goes…
Otherwise, things were sort of charming. Artist Alex Schweder's "The Hotel Rehearsal," a see-through hotel room that raises up and down from a van parked at 15th and Welton was lifting and lowering as planned.

Release Date: 2002 |
Nothing ever grabbed me with this album (granted none of their songs really do). In fact, it was up there with Lucy Ford for greatest unmemorable albums I have heard. No real complaints, but nothing to rave about neither.
I don't know why, but Atmosphere has always failed to really grab me. I'm not sure why and I enjoy it all, but I hardly love it.
Album Rating: 4.0In my opinion, LucyFord has his best songs and Seven's Travel's is his most consistent. But for some reason, if I'm in a hip hop mood and not sure what to go for...I almost always throw this in to start things off. Weird.
Great album tho. The title track and Shrapnel are brilliant.This Message Edited On 11.30.06
Album Rating: 3.0Lucy Ford is good, and it has better songs than this, but this album is just way more consistent. I still haven't heard Steven's Travels, maybe next time I'm in the Atmosphere mood I'll listen to that.
Album Rating: 4.0Do it. The final track on that cd is amazing. Probably the best hometown pride song ever. Very heartfelt. National Disgrace is also absolutely hilarious...and very true.
Album Rating: 4.5Cush...you're on the wrong album.
Album Rating: 4.0Lol, I was refering the the jungler saying that he hasn't heard Seven's Travel's.This Message Edited On 07.03.07
Album Rating: 4.0Latest song on his myspace (Guarantees) is really awesome. Pretty excited for his new one.
Album Rating: 4.5Great review but to me the standout tracks have to be Give me, Modern Mans Hustle, God Loves Ugly, Hair and Lovelife
Album Rating: 5.0Love this album.. GodLovesUgly>Lucy Ford>Sad Clown Bad Dub 2>Overcast!>Seven's Travels
Album Rating: 4.0"See bands like us don't get groupies..."
Album Rating: 5.0if you gotta lotta love to give, but you don't know who to give it to.. i'm a turn out the lights on this cigarette, and write a song about you.
Album Rating: 5.0Fuck You Lucy is pretty much the best song evaaaa.
Album Rating: 5.0Fuck You Lucy is great, but probably not even on my top 5 of this record. let's find out...
God Loves Ugly
Give Me
Modern Man's Hustle
Fuck You Lucy
Saves the Day
A Song About a Friend
One of a Kind
the rest are all pretty equal after those. so no, not in my top 5. but this album is basically perfect so that's not a dis on the song.
Album Rating: 5.0this, Lucy Ford and Sad Clown Bad Dub II are my three favorites, in that order. Seven's Travels and Overcast! are next. The last two albums are just ok imo.
I'm pushing on the hammer to trigger the brain, embrace how I live cause God loves ugly
Album Rating: 4.5Should I listen to this album Blake?
Album Rating: 5.0Even if I wasn't asked, yes. Yes you should
Album Rating: 5.0Jason: yes, yes and yes. One of my top 5 hip hop albums ever dude. Get this, and if you like it then get Lucy Ford and Sad Clown Bad Dub II.
silentpotato: yeah, inconsistency is what keeps Lucy Ford from being a true classic. It's comprised of two EPs, so it makes sense why. But songs like The Woman With the Tattooed Hands, If I Was Santa Claus, Don't Ever Fucking Question That, Guns and Cigarettes and Sunshine (not to mention Homecoming, the hidden track) make it so damn classic to me personally. I relate to a lot of the lyrics on old Atmosphere albums, and Lucy Ford probably more than any of them.
Album Rating: 4.5On it
Album Rating: 2.5I'm listening to this for the first time as I type this
Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Moderators: BestOfBreed, dungeonjoe
Sagarin has the Furples as the highest rated SoCon team, and 13th in FCS. It still has Samford a notch above us.
I think we no doubt become a top seed if we win out but think there is a possibility the SoCon gets only two in the playoffs, but more likely three. https://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/
To say we have no respect on the national stage is incorrect. We rose to number 5 and dropped only to 8 when we lost. Our national reputation this year has risen to be a very good one.
Parenthetically, undefeated NCA&T is still behind Mercer and WCU in the Sagarin. Their schedule is the problem, but they definitely will make the playoffs (and probably stay undefeated in the regular season) and then make a run, unless prohibited by some tie-in bowl.

I always wondered why we never scheduled them after that. We won that one handily, but they are a good program and would be a solid OOC opponent. Same goes for SC State. Both fit our scheduling footprint and probably are struggling for OOC games just like we are.

|トキワ Tokiwa
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #235
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Tokiwa (トキワ, Tokiwa) is a kunoichi and the attendant of Shizuka, the current leader of the Nadeshiko Village.
She seems to have a calm and level-headed personality. Tokiwa praises shinobi who are strong and who impress her, as shown when she praised Naruto for being able to dodge Shizuka's attack. She is also very respectful of and to powerful shinobi as she addressed both Jiraiya and Naruto, as well as Shizuka, using honourifics. She is also quite humble, as she knelt before Naruto to ask him to duel Shizuka.
Tokiwa is an imposing figure, easily towering over others. She has a slender physique with a very angular face framed by her short brown hair along with a dark shade of red lipstick. She wears a short, backless, red, full-body suit over mesh armour, along with a pair of arm-length gloves and a light orange sash, a long blue green apron skirt which is open in the front. She also wears bandages on her wrists, covering all of her right left as well as her left thigh and leg. She carries an extremely long and thin katana strapped to her back.
Tokiwa is able to use Earth Release, as demonstrated when she erected an arena for Naruto and Shizuka to battle in. Since she carries a sword, it can be assumed that she is skilled in kenjutsu.
Part II
Paradise Life on a Boat
After Kokuyō found them on their way to the Land of Fire, she declares that she would stop him. However, Shizuka tells her that this is her duty and easily dispatches her would-be pursuer. After seeing Naruto who tells her that he is the student of Jiraiya, Tokiwa explains that Naruto would have to battle Shizuka for his hand in marriage as per the agreement Jiraiya had made some years ago. Naruto declined the offer, but Tokiwa tracked him down and told him about Shizuka's past.
After persauding Naruto, who finally agrees that if he defeats Shizuka, he would marry her, Tokiwa creates an arena with her Earth Release: Iron Fist Prison. After the battle is concluded, Kokuyō once again tries to capture Shizuka, but she dispatches him with ease once again. However after Kokuyō's Hundred Puppet Soul Binding is activated, Tokiwa realises that all the puppets and attacks before this were just distractions for this technique. After Naruto rescues Shizuka, they head to the harbour to see them off. Glad that Naruto's words had reached Shizuka, she heads back to the village with Shizuka.

It's time to return to the Shire! Peter Jackson has just released a couple of behind-the-scenes Hobbit images, showcasing one of the completed sets. Could this be the inside of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman)'s home?
Peter Jackson has started a facebook page, which'll be continually updated with on-set images and hopefully more Hobbit goodies, as production for the movie adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit moves forward. The first production updates are these two Peter Jackson snaps on the set at The Shire. Hopefully there will be more dwarf video and costume shots, plus dragon concept art in the future.

The "revolutionary" Ooma Telo was released to the general public in October of 2009. The sleek, compact device appears to have taken design elements from Star Fleet, which is cool, too. After plugging the unit in, you'll experience a sort of cute red and blue light-show-thingy as the device downloads and installs necessary firmware and updates. The Telo is suggested to be plugged directly into your modem, but works equally well plugged into the router, which is what we at Reviewboard did.
The Telo is controlled by touch controls, which are suprisingly sensitive and functional. A USB port located in the rear of the device isn't a necessity but one can assume any future expansions would start from this port. Two RJ45 ethernet jacks, two RJ11 phone jacks, and support for four DECT 6.0 handsets, and HD voice for telo2telo conversations are the core features of the model. As of now, the unit does not support Bluetooth or cell-phone integration although the company asserts these features will be available with future firmware/software updates.
The Ooma Telo holds its own when compared to other VoIP, or phone bundled cable options. The service is generally cheaper, although we did discover a significant qualm with the unit. The adverstised UK calling rate of 1.9 cents per minute is not a considerably cheap price, but Ooma Telo is doing all they can to assure you that you're paying for call quality. Yet, after using the service you'll note that you're being billed 3.2 cents per minute. This is due to the FCC levying a toll on telecom service providers, many providers make up for this by increasing prices slightly across the board. Ooma Telo does not, and this 1.3 cents per minute increase is not advertised.
Overall, the Ooma Telo delivers a higher quality call for a fairly cheap price. The firmware/software is steadily updated as complaints and suggestions pour in, and the device's touch controls and sleek design make it sort of unneccesarily cool.

Call Extension Telephone Number Verification - the Next Hoop Google want me to Jump Through
Starting in June, Google are going to require telephone number verification for all numbers used in Call Extensions.
You can verify your numbers already, if you wish, but in June, if the numbers are still marked as "unverified" then the Call Extensions will be disapproved.
At the moment they are simply marked as "unverified" - an unsightly red mark on your campaigns and one which clients are (understandably) worried about. After all, anything that Google put in red on your account must be bad, right?
Well, yes and no. At the same time as they mark the number as unverified they also provide helpful guidelines to help you get verification. Helpful, possibly. But of the three options, a little like Goldilock's porridge, only one is "just right"... and even that one has some serious questions to answer.

December 30 – Happy Birthday Kevin Long
Remember Charley Lau? Many considered him the greatest hitting coach in MLB history. During his 11-season big league career as a catcher and pinch-hitter however, he was never more than a part-time player with a .255 lifetime batting average. So how does a guy who was never a great hitter himself in the big leagues teach others to become one? Honestly? I don't know.
But at least Lau was a good enough hitter to make it to the big leagues. Kevin Long, the Yankees' highly praised current hitting coach and today's Pinstripe Birthday Celebrant, never got out of the minors. After a good college career at the University of Arizona, the Phoenix native was signed by the Royals and spent eight years trying to get an official regular season at bat in Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium. When he failed to do so, he asked for and received a minor league coaching assignment with the Royals' organization.
The Yankees hired him in 2004 as the hitting instructor for their Triple A affiliate Columbus Clippers. In 2007, he got the same job with the parent club, succeeding Don Mattingly, who had been promoted to Joe Torre's bench coach.
During the next six seasons, Long had the benefit of working with a Yankee offense that was consistently near the top of the league's run producers. His most notable achievements during that time were helping Curtis Granderson become a much better hitter against left-handed pitching and getting Robinson Cano to exercise more strike zone discipline.
Long's biggest challenge by far was the roster of hitters he was given to work with during the 2013 season. A series of injuries and bad deals had decimated the Yankees' highly potent offense and Long found himself working with the likes of Vernon Wells, Travis Hafner, Lyle Overbay and Chris Stewart. There would be no miracles performed by the Yankee hitting coach with that crew. No one could possibly have been happier than Long, when the Yankees retooled their offense during the 2013 offseason by signing Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran. If Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira can return to anything near their pre-injury hitting forms, the Yankee offense should once again score runs in bushels in 2014. That means Kevin Long will once again be recognized as one the game's best hitting coaches.

I remember the first time I had Pimm's, in 1978. I wasn't much of a drinker way back then, but I remember it being so unique. I had no idea it even had a British origin – I just enjoyed the flavor!
Fast forward 25 years to when my older daughter visited a girlfriend in London, and they shared a pitcher of Pimm's at a pub! I was so excited, because I'd forgotten all about it, and certainly had no knowledge of its national esteem.
The origin of Pimm's is very interesting, dating back to the 1800's when Mr. Pimm invented the gin-based drink. There was originally Pimm's No. 1, as it is now, but there were also five subsequent Pimm's; most all of these have been phased out.
The liqueur contains a secret mixture of herbs, fruit extracts and liqueurs. It experienced a recent revival in popularity from a British tv show whose character would announce, "It's Pimm's O'clock!"
I didn't even know this when I snapped this photo at the Hampton Court food fair outside of London. I was with number 2 daughter and it was freezing out. But by golly there was Pimm's being sold and I needed to have an official one! It was indeed delicious, although not perfect for a chilly day.
However, Pimm's is perfect for spring and summer when it's acting like spring and summer. Because it's so refreshing, I often make pitchers of it or put it in a large dispenser. It goes with just about any kind of cuisine.
I took this photo of my Pimm's at the food fair:
Here is the "official" recipe for Pimm's, also referred to as Pimm's cup.
Pimm's Cup
Mix 1 part PIMM'S No.1
with 3 parts chilled lemonade.
Add some mint, cucumber, orange
and strawberry
In a large pitcher, pour in the seltzer, lemonade and Pimm's. Stir to combine. Pour mixture into prepared glasses and enjoy!
This recipe comes from the website Anyone for Pimm's.
If you noticed, there's no mention of how much seltzer to use, unless British lemonade is bubbly, but I don't think it is.
So here's my recipe:
Pimm's Cup, for one
In one tall glass, place 1 part Pimm's, 1 part lemonade and 2 parts fresca. Add a generous amount of ice, and stir well. Add some pieces of cut up orange, apple, and strawberry.
At the food fair, I could definitely taste mint and cucumber in my Pimm's. It was completely enjoyable, but I don't like my Pimm's to taste too much like water you get at the spa, so I leave out the cucumber. However, I do use a long piece of cucumber that helps with stirring. But you try it however you like.
When I make Pimm's in a pitcher, I add a whole array of sliced fruits because it's so pretty! And you can muddle a bunch of mint leaves if you like, before finishing with the recipe. I love the mintiness, but I don't like having to deal with chopped mint in my teeth. A personal preference, again.
note: Pimm's is a strong drink, but it should not be cloyingly sweet. The secret, from years of personal experimentation, is the Fresca. The drink should be bubbly, not taste like a liqueur on ice. If you prefer using seltzer water, or can't get your hands on Fresca, be as generous with that. It lightens the drink without adding sweetness, which it doesn't need. Enjoy!
