Start with (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cruise_lines)
Celebrity Reflection is the fifth and final Solstice-class cruise ship, her sister ships being Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Silhouette. Solstice, Equinox, Eclipse and Silhouette entered service in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 respectively. Reflection was launched in 2012.
Since October 2012, it has been owned and operated by Celebrity Cruises. It has one more deck than other Solstice-class cruise ships, has the first Aqua Class Suites and is the only ship to have Reflection Class Suites. She can accommodate over 3,000 passengers - 150 more than other Solstice class ships.
Atmosphere on board
Celebrity Reflection is our newest marvel offering three new suites, including 34 new AquaClass Suites that feature stunning 79 square foot verandas, so you can relax like never before. Plus, your favorite spa amenities and priority access to the highly-rated specialty restaurant, Blu, are included. There are even more inspired additions to this ship. Celebrity Reflection boasts an expanded deck, 72 additional staterooms overall, more seating in the main and specialty restaurants, more sun lounges on the pool deck, and more seats in the theatre. On the Lawn Club, take a painting class with a Master Artist from the ArtCenter South Florida in The Art Studio. Celebrate the flavorful joys of outdoor grilling in the new Lawn Club Grill. Enjoy more than 20 delicious options in the Main Restaurant that are SPE-certified and healthy for you. Unwind in your own cabana-style haven, The Alcoves, on the Lawn Club. And check out all the new spa innovations in the enhanced Canyon Ranch SpaClub. Your vacation time is precious. Time aboard Celebrity Reflection will make the most of it.
Family with Kids/Teens
Celebrity doesn't have the huge waterslides, climbing walls or ropes courses other lines have, but that doesn't mean families won't enjoy Reflection.
Reflection dedicates three spaces on Deck 15 to children. ShipMates is designed for the youngest, ages 3 to 5. Kids can participate in theme parties, treasure hunts, T-shirt-decorating, talent shows, arts and crafts, dancing, musical games, imagination play and interactive challenges, cartoon trivia, and ice cream and pizza parties.
The Fun Factory is for those ages 6 to 11. Staffmembers divide the kids by age and encourage participation in age-appropriate activities. For children ages 6 to 8, activities include theme parties, relay races, arts and crafts, gaming, movies, ice cream and pizza parties, and interactive team-building games. Those ages 9 to 11 can participate in scavenger hunts, karaoke, talent shows, theme parties, T-shirt-decorating, sports activities, team challenges, movies, gaming and late-night pizza parties.
Teens have the XClub, which includes a dance club and coffee lounge for those ages 12 to 17. Teen activities include theme parties, scavenger hunts, pool Olympics, sports tournaments, team trivia, karaoke, gaming and fitness activities.
In-room baby-sitting for children 12 months and older is available for $19 per hour, for up to three children in the same family.
Late-night group baby-sitting, for kids, ages 3 to 11, is available from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. for $6 per hour, per child. This slumber party is free on the last night of the sailing.
Past Passenger Programs
The Program: Captain's Club, a three-tiered system
Perks: "Classic" members (those who have earned one to four credits for cruising with Celebrity) get perks including access to the loyalty desk and loyalty host, a premium onboard discount booklet, a one-category upgrade (when available), pre-sailing dining reservations at alternative eateries on applicable vessels, and little freebies like wine tasting and golf clinics. "Select" cruisers (five to nine credits) receive all of the above as well as a complimentary wine seminar, priority status to shore excursion waitlist, an invitation to the senior officers' cocktail party, 25 percent off any Internet package, complimentary pressing of two clothing items, and discounted laundry on cruises of 12 nights or more.
Added perks for "Elite" members (10 or more credits) include a private shipboard departure lounge with continental breakfast, priority tender service, priority waitlist for dining room seating, elegant tea service, complimentary use of Thalassotherapy pool use on Celebrity Mercury, complimentary access to the Persian Garden (port days only), access to the new Captain's Club Lounge at Michael's Club (certain hours of the day), 90 free Internet minutes, one free item of dry cleaning, a complimentary bag of laundry (wash, dry and fold), discounted laundry on cruises of 12 nights or more, and the ability to join Royal Caribbean's Crown and Anchor Society at the Diamond level.
All members get the traditional invite to the captain's cocktail party, newsletter and chance to cruise on reunion voyages.
Incentive to Belong: As Celebrity's ships get larger, preferential boarding and disembarkation is a nice benefit. Also, because the tier system is based on credits -- not just the number of cruises taken -- there are ways to move up the ranks faster. For example, you'll earn an extra credit for booking a Concierge-level stateroom or higher, or for sailing for 12 nights or more, for a possible total of three credits for one voyage.
Members-Only Deals: Captain's Club members are offered several special discounted sailings per year, some of which can be a good deal compared to retail rates, especially if it also includes an onboard credit or discount certificate. Compare prices to verify the savings.

Fitness And Spa
Reflection's fitness center and spa occupy the forward section of Deck 12. The fitness center, overseen by famed destination spa Canyon Ranch, features modern equipment, including the standard treadmills, stationary bikes and elliptical trainers, as well as resistance equipment and a solid selection of dumbbells. If you go during peak hours (particularly mornings before 9 a.m. on sea days), you might have to wait for a piece of cardio equipment.
Classes include yoga, Zumba, boot camp, and two new-to-fleet options: TRX suspension training and Flywheel cycling (two ultra-hot options on land). Fees for the classes are reasonable; we paid less for a TRX class onboard than we paid at our home gym. Though classes require a fee, they fill up quickly, so if you have your heart set on a particular workout, sign up as soon as you get onboard.
Reflection's jogging (and walking) track is on Deck 15, and, bewilderingly, winds its way through a smoking area around the Mast Bar, which seems the antithesis of a morning fitness routine. It gets crowded around the same time the fitness center does, so if you're a jogger looking to avoid working your way around walkers or if you just want a little privacy, hit the track early or late. A sports court, located on Deck 15, routinely hosts basketball tournaments.
The spa, also run by Canyon Ranch, offers treatments that range from teeth-whitening to acupuncture and Restylane skincare treatments, in addition to massages. AquaClass and AquaSpa Suite passengers have free access to the Persian Garden, a serene space decorated in greens and whites. It includes heated ceramic tile loungers, an aroma steam room, and a scrub and salt bar. The Persian Garden on Reflection is 82 square meters larger than the same space on all other ships in the class. It includes six more heated beds, too. Access is $35 a day for those who haven't booked AquaClass cabins.
The adults-only Solarium on Deck 14 houses two hot tubs and a pool beneath an expansive glass cover, which allows in the sun without the sunburn. The area offers a tranquil escape with a fun fountain feature, soothing music and grand-scale art. Clamshell seating for two and cushy loungers make the spot perfect for Kindle time or an afternoon nap.
The main pool area, located midship, has two pools and four hot tubs, with cushioned loungers, including the class's signature two-person poolside beds. The Pool Bar is nearby for libations, and passengers craving burgers can head up the stairs to Deck 15's Mast Grill.
The Lawn Club is also located on Deck 15. While still a public space, it also has eight for-fee alcoves available ($99 for a port day, $149 for a sea day), which cut into the lawn space available for everyone else. They also break up the space, making the area feel less park-like and, frankly, less special than the original wide-open design on the early ships in the Solstice class.
Food & Dining
Celebrity didn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to dining options on Reflection, sticking instead with some familiar options. The main dining area, Opus, occupies space on Reflection's third and fourth decks. It's an elegant venue, decorated in deep browns and silvers, with bright white tablecloths and crystal as far as the eye can see. The vast space -- which accommodates 40 more seats than its counterpart on Celebrity Silhouette -- is stunningly designed, though tables are a bit too close together, which makes private conversation difficult.
Reflection sticks with a traditional dining option -- 6 p.m. for the early seating, 8:30 for the late. Diners also can choose the more flexible Celebrity Select Dining, which allows them to eat in the main dining room any time between 6 and 9:30 p.m. Passengers on this plan can book daily dinner reservations online up to four days before they sail or once they get aboard Reflection.
Menus in Opus offer appetizers, soups and salads, entrees and desserts, and they're flexible enough to accommodate specific dietary needs. You'll choose from a variety of options, including favorites like shrimp cocktail, escargot, prime rib, rack of lamb and creme brulee. Food is generally good, with appropriate portion sizes and some surprises on the menu, like the beef Carpaccio or frog legs.
Vegetarian and healthier options are identified on the menu, but if you have specific dietary needs (vegan or gluten-free), discuss them with the maitre d' before your first meal, and ask specific questions about the menu items you select.
Passengers who have booked AquaClass cabins or suites will eat at Blu, which serves lighter "spa-inspired" fare. They also have the option to eat in Opus if they prefer the main dining room experience.
Reflection has a number of for-fee restaurants, including unpredictable Qsine ($45 per person), French-continental Murano ($45), Italian steakhouse Tuscan Grill ($35), D.I.Y. steak experience Lawn Club Grill ($40), panini restaurant The Porch ($5, open for breakfast and lunch) and creperie Bistro on 5 ($7).
Qsine diners order on iPads from a menu that has no order, then waiters bring out the food in the order of their choosing. Fun? Sure. But we found the timing to be off, with long gaps between dishes and a dinner that stretched to three hours, causing us to miss the night's entertainment offerings. The food was excellent (especially the Dorito-encrusted sushi lollipops), though you're bound to eat what your tablemates order, as it's served family style (albeit in funky serving dishes). If one person at your table of four selects a dish, four servings are brought out, regardless of whether all four people want to eat it. This is tricky (and wasteful) if one person is a seafood-lover, another is a meat-eater and a third is a vegetarian. Service was particularly slow, with waitstaff disappearing for long stretches and drinks and water glasses remaining empty.
Food at Murano is rich and decadent, with traditional French dishes like delicious foie gras, creamy bisques and a cheese course. For $89 per person, passengers can purchase the Five Senses package, a five-course meal that pairs each course with wine.
Steaks are the star at Tuscan Grill, though pasta-lovers have plenty of options, too, including ravioli, lasagna, spaghetti Bolognese and lobster linguine Alfredo. The Lawn Club Grill is part pizzeria, part open-air grill, and passengers serve as the grillmasters, seasoning and grilling up their meats or baking their pizzas with assistance from Celebrity chefs. Bistro on 5 serves up Celebrity's famous crepes, both savory and sweet, while The Porch provides pressed sandwiches and soups.
Those who enjoy coffee can get their caffeine fixes at Cafe al Bacio & Gelateria, which also offers gelato and Italian ices, all for a la carte pricing. An afternoon tea is also available.
In January 2013, Celebrity introduced a package option for its upcharge restaurants. Passengers can purchase packages that combine three, four or five restaurants for a savings of up to 31 percent over booking them individually. Packages have to be booked at least four days before the sailing. A four-dinners package costs $125, a five-dinners package is $139, and the Ultimate Specialty Package is $29 per day.
Oceanview Cafe is Reflection's buffet area, serving breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. The menu changes each day, but every-day options include made-to-order eggs and omelets, a salad bar that includes a mix of lettuce and toppings, and a cheese bar that includes American standards like cheddar and Colby in addition to brie, gouda and a good selection of the stinky cheeses. Pasta, pizza, Mexican, Indian and Asian choices vary, so one day you might find sushi and, the next, you could see soba noodles. Indian selections are particularly good, with chicken masala and tandoori chicken. Spice levels are decent, but we heard people asking for hot sauce.
The AquaSpa Cafe, located in the Solarium, provides healthy and convenient options -- such as premade salads and fruit and to made-to-order dishes like broiled salmon -- for breakfast and lunch. The Mast Grille & Bar, located on Deck 15 overlooking the pool, serves up burgers and fries with a toppings bar (including guacamole).
Room service is available 24 hours a day, though offerings vary depending on your cabin category.
At night, there's no shortage of entertainment options onboard Reflection. The production shows take place in the Reflection Theater, a lovely two-level venue befitting the big-time entertainment on stage. The seats are well spaced and comfortable, and they have great sight lines -- we didn't find a bad seat in the house.
The entertainment varies and includes big production shows, comedians, magicians, music and dance. "Reflection: The Show" is the highlight of the production shows. It features a combination of rock music and acrobatics and is entertaining -- and occasionally cringe-inducing with its feats of contortion -- from start to finish. It will be familiar to those who have seen "Silhouette: The Show." Passengers usually have two opportunities to catch shows in the Reflection Theater each night, depending on which dining options they select.
Most nights, you'll find live music in several spots throughout the ship -- guitars and vocals or jazz in the Ensemble Lounge midship, as well as a D.J. spinning dance music poolside or at the Sky Lounge, for example. The ubiquitous a cappella group, These Guys, makes so many appearances at so many venues all day long that we wondered whether they slept.
Because the ship has no official dance club (a la Quasar on its sister ships), those looking to do the Cupid Shuffle have to look to the day's schedule to find the best spot to bust a move. While venues around the atrium host music and entertainment of their own, don't be surprised at night if an impromptu show, with music and wild costumes, breaks out. Just don't expect it to appear on your Celebrity Today daily. Reflection also uses its Lawn Club to host Concerts on the Lawn, where passengers are provided with cheese, wine and blankets for sitting.
Movie buffs can catch feature films most nights in Celebrity Central, a secondary theater venue located on Deck 4. Films tend to be of the new-to-DVD variety. Celebrity Central also hosts events like game shows and bingo.
During the day, entertainment includes games, enrichment and music. Trivia abounds, and Celebrity has teamed with Billboard, so, rather than the typical keychain, prizes might include gift cards to purchase music. A video arcade appeals as much to adults as it does children, and the sports courts regularly host basketball shootouts. Enrichment options include wine and spirits tastings, cake-decorating, sushi-making and other culinary demonstrations, as well as digital camera and computer seminars. The music mix includes the aforementioned a cappella group, D.J. and steel drum band, among other options.
If you order a couple of "flights" in the Martini Bar, you might see a different kind of entertainment -- a spectacular show involving bottle-flipping, glass-stacking and the pouring of a dozen drinks at once. It's seriously the stuff of YouTube legend. There's no guarantee you'll get the performance, but if you're interested, your best bet is to place your order when the bar isn't too busy, perhaps after ordering a couple of rounds for which you've left a big tip. Late night, the Martini Bar, with its ice-covered surface, gets crowded and loud. The Molecular Bar is another crowd favorite for those who don't mind forking over a little more cash in exchange for some of the most creative drinks at sea (think avocado margaritas and dry ice cocktails).
Beer-drinkers dream of spots like Michael's Club, which offers a rotating selection of more than 50 craft beer options from the United States and abroad. Some are more typical of land-based U.S. bars (Sierra Nevada and Brooklyn, for example), but it's refreshing to find a great beer selection at sea, where light domestics typically dominate the options. This also serves as the ship's sports bar.
Cellar Masters, a wine-lover's happy place, features Enomatic dispensers, where you can pour yourself your favorite by touching a button.
Sunset Bar, with its fun lighted stools and killer aft location, is a favorite at night, when you can settle in for some cocktails and an unparalleled view of the sun setting over the sea. You'll also fight for a seat there during sailaways.
Of course there's always Fortune's Casino, which occupies the middle of Deck 4. Games include the typical cruise offerings: slots, blackjack and video poker. Players looking for Texas Hold'em action will find 2/5 no-limit options at scheduled times most days.
Reflection alternates between Caribbean and Mediterranean itineraries. Excursion options in the Caribbean are appropriately water-based, while those sailing in the Med might find more tour-based offerings.
Celebrity Reflection features a variety of cabin categories to suit any passenger's needs, from tiny insides to lavish 1,500-square-foot suites, and 60 percent of all accommodations feature verandahs.
Reflectionstandard cabins -- insides, outsides and balconies (called "Deluxe Oceanview") -- average a paltry 170 square feet (38-square-foot balconies), about 15 to 20 feet below the industry average.
Decor features hotel-style white bedding with light brown accents, rust carpeting and striking red love seats thrown in for a shock of color, all of which replaced the flamboyant turquoise-and-yellow Caribbean decor of the old abodes. (For a before and after, check out part three of our refurb slideshow.)
Insides, outsides and balconies feature two twin beds that convert to queens, safes, small desks, stocked mini-fridges, flat-screen TV's and bathrobes. The mini-fridges are locked; have your room steward open yours and clear out the for-fee booze if you want to store your wine or water. Shower-only bathrooms have hair dryers, shampoo, moisturizer and bar soap. There is no shower gel.
Drawers might be some issue for because they were a little stressed for space -- especially with having to pack for a 12-night cruise. There are drawers hidden in a secondary closet in each room, which also houses the safe. There's another drawer above the flat-screen TV, which is also where extra bedding is stored.
For those looking for a little more space and a few more amenities, the ConciergeClass cabins are 191 square feet with 42-square-foot-balconies. Added touches for concierge passengers include welcome bubbly, a pillow menu, nightly canapes, a 32-inch TV and nicer balcony furniture. In 2012, Celebrity expanded the ConciergeClass services to include an exclusive pre-departure lounge with free coffee and juices. Sky Suites come in at 251 square feet with 57-square-foot balconies.
Continuing up in size, Family Oceanview cabins are 271 square feet with enormous 242-square-foot verandahs that feature pairs of loungers and tables with two chairs each. Inside, there's a partition separating the "master bedroom" from the lounge/extra bed area.
Eight 467-square-foot Celebrity Suites feature lovely floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows (but no balconies), a jetted tub and a pair of entertainment centers. The eight 538-square-foot Royal Suites (195-square-foot balconies) add more space and feature whirlpool tubs on the verandahs. On the top of the list are a pair of 1,432-square-foot Penthouse Suites with massive, 1,098-square-foot balconies. These suites also feature a baby grand piano, should you wish for a private concert or to tinkle the ivories on your own.
All suite passengers enjoy the service of a butler, who can help pack and unpack, set up in-cabin meals and help make onboard arrangements. Other suite extras include complimentary dinner at a specialty restaurant (one dinner for cruises of seven nights or less, two for cruises of eight nights or more); priority check-in; in-suite breakfast, lunch and dinner; complimentary espresso and evening hors d'oeuvres.
There are 26 wheelchair-accessible cabins, including insides, oceanviews, balconies, concierge class cabins and Sky Suites.
Celebrity suggests a per-person per-day gratuity of $3.50 for the waiter, butler (Suites only) and stateroom attendant; $4.00 for Concierge Class stateroom attendant; $2.00 for the Assistant Waiter; and $.75 for the Assistant Maitre d' and the Assistant Chief Housekeeper.
All guests are given a form to sign if they wish to have these gratuities charged to their shipboard account. Children under 12 who are the third or fourth person in the stateroom pay only half these amounts. A 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to all beverage tabs. Gratuities for room service, spa, casino and other staff are at your discretion. Note: Passengers who choose "Celebrity Select Dining" before their cruises are required to prepay gratuities (prior to boarding).
Alternatives: If you wish to adjust the amount you pay, this can be done onboard at guest relations.
Extra Charges: An automatic 15 percent gratuity is added to all bar bills.
Fellow Passengers
Celebrity draws a wide range of upper-middle-class couples and groups, with the average age of passengers in the mid-50's. During the Caribbean season, expect more families with children.
Our recommendation
The stylish ships of Celebrity Cruises feature high-end decor, modern technology, excellent enrichment programs, superior dining options and outstanding spas.
Celebrity Cruises is best for: Adult couples, cruise line also attract families with teen-agers, family reunions, multi-generational; Young adults looking for soft adventure and sports activities; Boomers looking for a cruise with lots of enrichment at sea; Spa lovers and Travelers who want a taste of luxury at a premium cruise price.

Dig Deeper
August 18, 2014 at 7:55 am Leave a comment
And dig deeper, dig deeper this time
Down beneath the impossible pain of our history
Beneath unknown bones
Beneath the bedrock of the mystery
Beneath the sewage systems and the PATH train
Beneath the cobblestones and the water mains
Beneath the traffic of friendships and street deals
Beneath the screeching of kamikaze cab wheels
Beneath everything I can think of to think about
Dig deeper, dig deeper this time.
To a place I don't know I have. To a place of soft resolve.
Dig deeper and deeper still.
Don't look up. Don't gauge the depth of your tunnel. Just dig deeper.
Beneath the fears, the sadness and the shame.
Beneath the lies, the confusion and the blame.
Beneath the insecurities and regrets
Beneath the fatigue, the loneliness and the pain.
Dig deeper.
To that place of solid rock. To that place where I can steady my feet.
Dig deeper and deeper still.
Not for myself but for the one I love.
Dig deeper through the darkness and damp.
Dig deeper to break his fall.

Costly renovations, construction keep UCF growing
Growing and changing at a rapid pace, UCF has been making adjustments to campus, and currently has a number of construction projects and renovations tucked under its belt for the present and near future.
Colbourn Hall and Trevor Colbourn Hall
Colbourn Hall is more than 40 years old, making it one of the oldest buildings on campus. But with age comes required care. In addition to problems with water infiltration and flooding on the exterior balconies, the building has issues with its air conditioning, plumbing and electrical units.
The building, which houses the departments of English, Literature, History, Writing and Rhetoric and a number of other arts and humanities departments, is in need of being completely gutted and renovated.
"The mechanical systems in the building are at the end of their useful lives. That's the HVAC, plumbing and electric systems, which break down frequently and are so old it's sometimes hard to find replacement parts," said UCF spokesman Mark Schlueb. "The building itself has other problems, but none that can't be solved with an extensive renovation, which would be cheaper than an entirely new building."
With that being said, there are plans to build Trevor Colbourn Hall, a new 79,000-square-foot building that will stand adjacent to the old building. Construction is slated to start in September 2016 and be completed around March 2018.
"Colbourn Hall was built more than 40 years ago, and as you know, we're growing every year," Schlueb said. "UCF needs the space in both Colbourn Hall and the new Trevor Colbourn Hall so it can be on the best footing as we look to the future."
When Trevor Colbourn Hall is finished, faculty and staff will have a year and a half to move out of Colbourn Hall and into the new building. Renovations will take place in Colbourn Hall for an estimated 14 months. Together, the two buildings form a combined cost of $38 million.
John T. Washington Center
As many students have already discovered, the black picnic benches outside Chick-fil-A in the John T. Washington Center have been replaced with large outdoor couches.
"It's all for the students," said Peggy Howse, business services director. "We're trying to create a fun space for them to sit outside and lounge."
Business Services has plans to make more additions to the stress-free zone, with the inclusion of fans and TVs. The fans are likely to be added by the end of the fall semester.
Parking Garage C
Due to the fact that current construction of the Global UCF building has taken over what used to be a parking lot, 600 new spaces will be added to the east side of Garage C — almost a 50-percent increase to the current 1,290 spaces.
The expansion will occur on all four levels of the garage, which is near the CREOL and Engineering buildings. Construction is expected to start this November and be completed by July 2016, making for an estimated cost of $9 million.
Interdisciplinary Research and Incubator
UCF currently rents lab space off campus in Research Park, but there are plans for a new Interdisciplinary Research and Incubator building that will consist of conference rooms, offices and 31 science labs.
Schlueb said this project will allow research to come back to the core of campus, as the building would go atop a portion of parking lot C1, next to the CREOL building.
"We need more lab space because more research is being done," he said.
The labs will be used by faculty and graduate students across various fields of work, and bringing them all together in one building will lead to a collaborative environment for possible discoveries and breakthroughs.
Construction is set to happen in two phases: The first entails the 67,000-square-foot assembly of a three-story building. Plans to start construction are set for January 2016, and are slated to finish mid-2017. Construction is estimated to cost $30 million.
During the second phase, an additional 39,000 square feet will be added. The cost will be about $16.6 million, but there is no estimated start or completion date yet.

The Institute holds it's Annual Picnic at the shortest place name in Britain.
The Forest of Ae also houses a delightful collection of slightly uninteresting Ploughs.
These ploughs were specifically arranged in the shape of the constellation DRAGO by Adam Corner and his strongman assistant Boron of Athens before they fell out.
The largest plough, nicknamed 'Willful' dissappeared during the picnic of 1991.
The best line of poetry ever written includes reference to agricultural machinery.Written by the Jesuit poet shaman Gerard Manley Hopkins in his poem 'The Windhover';
"No wonder of it: sheer plod makes plough down sillion
Shine,and blue-bleak embers,ah my dear,
Shine,and blue-bleak embers,ah my dear,
Fall,gall themselves,and gash gold-vermilion"

Twisted and Evil: It's amazing how simple issues of right and wrong can become so complicated when it comes to actually solving the problem. Few people in the world would attempt to justify the genocide in Darfur. It is the worst of mankind -- evil unabated. Stopping the murder is a must. Yet, the world community cannot agree on a solution to this madness. African countries will not allow foreign interference for political reasons. North American and European countries don't seem to have to will to get involved. The Coalition for Darfur explains.
Delays and Complications
The genocide in Darfur began more than two years ago. Since then, more than 400,000 people have died and the international community has yet to take any concrete action toward stopping the violence or helping the nearly 2-million displaced return to their destroyed villages and resume semi-normal lives.
And the longer the world delays, the more complicated the situation seems to become.
Just last week, the UNHCR was forced to pull its staff out of four refugee camps in Chad after five of its workers were wounded in protests over food distribution. The same day, two refugees and two Chadian police officers were killed during a clash in another camp.
Also last week, two drivers for the World Food Program were killed and rebels abducted but later released 17 members of the African Union ceasefire monitoring force.
The UN reported that militia attacks have intensified in the last month and there are now reports that rebels in the East have amassed along the border with Eritrea, potentially creating a Darfur-like conflict there as well.
All the while, the world makes symbolic gestures of concern and assistance. The AU has decided to expand its force in Darfur but lacks the troops, money, and logistical resources necessary to fully do so. Help from NATO has been requested but has not yet materialized. For domestic political reasons of its own, Canada recently pledged to send 100 troops to Darfur but has since backed off because of objections from Sudan. Meanwhile, leaders from Egypt, Libya, Chad, Nigeria, Sudan, Gabon, and Eritrea jointly announced their rejection of "any foreign intervention in the Darfur problem."
The crisis in Darfur is by no means simple and solutions are going to require serious thought and real political will. Unfortunately, Darfur has not yet been able to garner either. But the longer the world refuses to deal with this, the more complicated the situation is going to become.

|It is the "root" directory, and there is only one opened at any time. It represents the file in which we are working. When you save the file, this element receives the name of the actual file
|The name of the target plant for analysis. Usually you have only one site per file, but it is not restricted
|The map, aerial photo or blue print of the region of interest. You may have more than one map per site, for example, you can have a aerial photo and a blue print of the same region of interest
|Atmospheric condition
|A site can have one or more atmospheric conditions. These conditions consists of data such as temperature, air humidity, wind direction probability and other. These conditions are taken in account in several models
|A population is a definition of an area on the map where there are people. Each population has its polygon delimitation and a number of inhabitants. This number of inhabitants may vary according to the situation (day, night, etc.) and may be indoors or outdoors
|Initial event
|A initial event describes the accidental hypothesis origin, for example, rupture of a vessel, leakage of a duct, and so on
|To estimate the damage caused by the initial event, you must execute one or more simulations using mathematical models. These simulations will receive some input data and produce an output, which may contain damage estimation or input data for other models
|Partial simulation
|Some models take into account some of the atmospheric conditions. If you have more than one atmospheric condition you may have several possible results for the same simulation. The partial simulation show the result of one simulation for one specific atmospheric condition
|Some models produce results that can be shown in a chart
|If the simulation outputs damage results you may plot the vulnerable area to that effect. It is useful for estimating the size of the risk to that effect or is may be a final result from the system if you are elaborating a vulnerability study.
|If the simulation outputs a cloud dispersion, you can create a plot of the cloud isopleths over the map
|Population distribution
|To perform the social risk calculation, Riskan interpolates the user defined Populations in a matrix with certain number of inhabitants in each cell. This object is generated and updated automatically by the system each time you calculate the risks
|Individual risk
|This object contains the result for the individual risk calculation, such as iso risk curves and individual mean risk
|Frequency pressure
|Contains the result for the pressure frequency distribution calculation. This balanced distributions indicates where should be placed the emergency rescues and the calculation for the expected annual material damage
|Social risk
|This object contains the result for the social risk calculation, such as FN curve, mean social risk and the list of most relevant scenarios
|Scenario risk
|This object contains partial information calculated during the risk calculation. It is generated during the risk calculation and may be used to view the risk in one specific situation

Ban polygamy worldwide, polygamy only for the elites and the wealthy is creating terrorism the world over.
Monthly Archives: December 2015
Happy holidays to all you fathers and stepfathers and father figures and leaders, time to get up off your butts and lead the youths of the world to lives of happiness prosperity and non violence
Any and all polygamous cultures destabilize the entire culture
Bad idea with tragic consequences for children hiding behind cutsey manipulative elitist doubletalk
There are no successful polygamous cultures in the world. All polygamy destabilizes the entire culture.
Polyamorists, who (so far) define themselves by "love" rather than marriage, have been arguing the merits of their lifestyle and their rights for some years now, and the movement will hold its fifth international conference at the University of California, Berkeley, in February.
According to a chatty mailout from Saturnia Regna to "polylegal" groups, the International Conference on the Future of Monogamy and Nonmonogamy (official name) will focus on academic presentations but there will also be workshops and sideshows catering for interests ranging from jealousy management and STDs, through folklore, to BDSM.
What is completely missing is the destructiveness of uninvolved fractured fathering on most if not all of the children
The science will, no doubt, include studies on how well children are doing in households with more than two "parents", where jealousy is always an issue, threatening the stability of the household and the security of the children. Perhaps it will also tell us the rates of STDs and complications among polyamorists, and rates of change in household composition.
Meanwhile, watch out for media stories about happy polyamorist "families" and a history of marriage which makes "consensual nonmonogamy" look almost superior to the one man, one woman and their own children model.
Gender imbalance, fractured fathering, and how a culture deals with it, is a factor in all terrorism
There are no happy or successful polygamous societies on earth
All forms of polygyny and/or polygamy lead to broken fathering.
Broken fathering is the problem.
Nurturing fathering is the solution.
Wake up, fathers, stepfathers, and father figures and leaders.
All international terrorism is due to the need of the old bulls to rid themselves of excess unwanted young throwaway low status males so the old bulls have more young girls.
All international terrorism is due to the unnurtured young throwaways of polygamy expelled from their communities at a critical period of the long road to maturity.
Why isn't the middle east taking any refugees? Because their rigid form of polygamy only for the elites leaves NO WOMEN for low status throwaways?
Why isn't the middle east taking any refugees? Because their rigid form of polygamy only for the elites leaves NO WOMEN for low status throwaways?
There are no women for these troubled, enraged males.
Thanks to the advances and innate compassion of Western Civilization, life expectancy is skyrocketing.
A hundred years ago, most of these third world throwaways would be dead by the age of 25.
Now, thanks to the greatest civilization the world has ever seen, these zombie eyed throwaways are multiplying all over the third world of various forms of polygyny.
Polygamy causes terrorism. Polygamy causes poverty, not the other way around.
This is a problem that must be faced by those who are creating the problems.
Terrorism will increase until the rigid, unstable form of polygamy is wiped off the map.
The brutalized, vacant eyed sociopathic throwaways of a brutal form of polygamy will continue to flood the West until polygamy is wiped off the blood soaked map.
Many Arab countries such as Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, together with Islamic countries Turkey, Malaysia, Pakistan and Gulf Arab and African states are forming a military coalition to combat terrorism>
Nothing will change until all Muslims ban all forms of polygamy
The announcement cited "a duty to protect the Islamic nation from the evils of all terrorist groups and organizations whatever their sect and name which wreak death and corruption on earth and aim to terrorize the innocent."
The brutalized throwaways of polygamy are the problem.
The worst fathering on the planet is the problem.
Weak, confused, enabling, muddled Western leadership:
Federal prosecutor demands maximum sentence for alleged recruiter for armed groups in Syria
Sperm donor fathers 54 children and counting
Genetic catastrophe down the road for countless generations yet to be born
Many children and their families will suffer because of the arrogant self absorbed actions of this low information monster
Terrorist grooming turning vulnerable children into hate crazed sociopaths is a recipe for chaos and dysfunction and unhappiness
Horrifying video of small child who pulls out a huge knife from behind her back and makes stabbing motions as she says: "Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!"
This unhappy child will grow into an unhappy sociopath with no morals and no regard for others.

Man who jumped on pelican in the Keys — and Facebooked it — will face charges, police say
Maryland man posts Facebook video of himself attacking pelican in Key West FL
The Maryland man who made viral headlines after he posted a video of himself on Facebook pouncing on a pelican at a Key West marina will be charged with animal cruelty and molestation of a protected species, police said Monday.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay on Monday that they are in the process of filing two criminal charges against a man seen in the video jumping on the state and federally protected pelican, said Ramsay's spokesman, Adam Linhardt.
Hunter Hardesty, 31, of Davidsonville, Maryland, posted the video on March 7 on his Facebook page.
"I shared the anger of those who contacted me regarding this video," Ramsay said Monday. "This type of behavior — the abuse of animals — will not be tolerated on my watch and I know our law enforcement partners at the FWC and at the federal level share that mindset. I would like to thank those who quickly brought to this my attention and to the men and women of the Sheriff's Office and the FWC who responded quickly."
The video shows a man with a fish appearing to lure a pelican near him as he stands on a dock. The man then leaps directly on top of the bird and into the water. The man surfaces holding the bird with two hands and then the bird snaps at the man's face with its bill and flies away.
FWC, though, is still drawing up the warrants and no one has been arrested or charged yet, FWC spokesman Bobby Dube said Monday afternoon.
"There's been no warrants filed yet," Dube said. "It's still being investigated."
Hardesty is no longer in the Keys.
"He's back home in Maryland," Dube said. "If you look at his Facebook page, he's one of those guys that doesn't care. We'll have to wait."
Ramsay received multiple tips from citizens and residents in and out of the Florida Keys since the video went viral on the internet. He shared that information with the FWC, which Ramsay said was in the process of preparing a warrant on two criminal charges — animal cruelty and molestation of a protected species.
There are also other pictures and videos of the same suspect holding other animals that have been posted online. Those pictures and videos are part of the ongoing investigation. One picture shows a man holding what appears to be a Key deer, Linhardt said.
Key deer and the pelican are federally protected.
Dube said the FWC is likely looking into the deer photo as well but he hadn't seen it as of midday Monday.
Hardesty has a criminal record in his native Maryland.
In 2017, Hardesty pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and a felony robbery charge was dropped, according to Maryland court records. Hardesty was sentenced to a year in jail with all but 60 days suspended.

I can never understand it. At most, the best that I can understand is what I experience from other people. Although what they are giving is still flawed and imperfect. We live in an imperfect world. Everyone has the capability to love but to be able to consistently and perfectly give unconditional love, for me, seems impossible. At one point, a person can still go with his or her own selfish desire. The question is, right now, how much do we really understand God's amazing and perfect love?
I know we've experience it. We have come to know God's love through what he has done for us in the cross, or we might have experience it first hand in the blessings he has given us. I believe it's much more than what we think we know.
Ephesians 3:18
18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
How wide? How Long? How High? How Deep? It's a rhetoric question that means there is no limit to it. I have fallen a lot of times, and I still see His love following me and chasing after me.
I've made a mistake and in a split second, I hear a voice speaking in my heart that He will forgive me. I wanted to run, but He was already ahead of me – not wanting me to wander from away from the truth. I can't understand it. I can't understand why He loves me that much. All I can do is give in and rest again in His embrace.
I want to give encouragement to you, I know life can be a series of ups and downs – sometimes, it's mostly down. No matter what you are going through, God loves you. You might have turned your back from him. You might have failed Him. You might have sinned against Him. All I know is, He still loves you. Just come back. Come back to Him and talk to Him. He longs to be with you.

Sunday is for planning
It's like clockwork now. As soon as Sunday arrives, there's that urge to think about next week and plan it, so when Monday arrives I'm ready to tick those tasks off. This is a very worthwhile habit to have. And if you find that you like to DYI a little, it's also fun to create your own layout for each week, just like this one. Get yourself any notebook of choice or even a proper journal and try it. Once you have figured out a layout that works, planning and getting stuff done is an absolute breeze.
Plan you week on Sunday!!

It's the middle of the exam season,
I'm walking home from college,
The same way I've always gone,
Going over a few more notes on my phone.
On my way, I pass a playground.
Right in the middle, I see a sandpit
With a red plastic rim, scratched with age
Children playing with the damp sand.
A faint smile invades my lips.
And on impulse, I walk through the gate
Towards the child-filled pit,
Their laughter and voices filling my ears.
I see one boy having some trouble.
His sandcastles keep crumbling.
My smile now becomes confident.
Once upon a time, I knew this well.
Putting on my kind face, I show the boy the ropes.
The bare essentials of sandcastle architecture.
Tightly packed sand and quick reflexes.
To make the perfect beach fortress.
The kids seem to like me. I help them for a while,
But for me, it's long past home-time.
So I say goodbye and walk away fom the sandpit,
Remembering the pile of homework waiting at home.

When I'm not working (boring right now), reading Everyday Feminism (fascinating*) or spending time with the family (awesome) I'm writing. I've three book projects on the go, two of which are taking far too long and rapidly become a chore. The third is the third edition of my F5 iRules book (I'm not shilling – look, no link – I really have no need) which I first published back in early 2013. Most negative criticism of the book in it's present form has concerned a lack of beginner-level content, hand holding and guidance. I aim to correct that and, in tackling the task of 'teaching' in this edition, learning something myself and clarifying my own understanding.
To that end I thought I would publish a small part of what I've come up with so far (What is a Program?) and see how it sits with anyone that's interested. Please don't think I'm abusing the site by doing so; if it's going in the book, it certainly has value and will be useful to many I hope. I also think it applies quite well to most other programming languages. I'm sure you'll let me know what you think.
Note: I updated this post significantly in January 2016.
What is a Program?
So, just what is a program? What is the thing that we create when programming? I'm sure the definition varies wildly but for me, it breaks down into four basic parts;
- Input: data
- Computation based on that input (potentially also gathering the input first). Where data is concerned I think the term mutation is appropriate
- Output action(s) and perhaps data, based on that computation
We also need to consider something that may not be part of the program itself but which is rather essential:
- Execution: when the program is executed, or run
BIG-IP and LTM are all about managing network traffic and thus, with iRules the input data is that very traffic. For example, where a new TCP connection has been established the fields within the IP and TCP headers of the TCP three way handshake packets used to create that connection are the input data.
Clearly, the input data available can only relate to information available at that time. If a new connection will be used for HTTP, that data is not available if only the three way handshake has occurred and won't be until the client subsequently sends a packet containing a HTTP request.
Computation is the core purpose of a program; we want it to do something. That something is infinitely variable but would typically involve data use, parsing\* and/or manipulation of some kind; counting, adding, rewriting, converting, comparing, searching and so on. We might do this any number of times in many different ways. This is the core of iRules (and most other programming languages), implemented using the various commands available.
Following our previous example, when a client connects we could compare the source IP address with a known permitted address. Furthermore, we may also specify a specific SNAT address to be used if the comparison is true, or take some other action if it is false (there is no match).
Note: Our inability to fully predict the output of this computation when given the unlimited (and unpredictable) variability of possible input is the basic cause of most software security issues and bugs.
The output of our iRule program is one or more actions and possibly also some data. Those actions could be closing a TCP connection, updating a counter, writing a log entry or rewriting a URI, again it's infinitely variable. Taking no action is also valid output.
Note: An output action may cause the event that results in the execution of another program. Resetting a TCP connection, for instance, will result in the CONNECTION_CLOSED event occurring.
Programs can be executed, or run, in many different ways, for example;
- Manually (for single use or continuously) through some user input
- Automatically (for single use or continuously) by an operating system on start
- Periodically (for single use) through some time (or timer) based process or application
- Automatically (for single use) when a specific event occurs
Even where a program runs continuously, it may still only actually execute specific code periodically or when a specific event occurs (a good example is a web server which will only actually serves web pages when a request is made by a client.)
iRules are event driven programs used to process network traffic and thus they run automatically (and only once) when a specific event occurs. Multiple events of the same kind may occur (even continuously) but the program is only run once per event occurrence. Each occurrence is typically related to a specific connection.
Perhaps unusually, the actual event specification forms part of the program itself.
As an example, when a new TCP connection is established the CLIENT_CONNECTED event occurs and the code, the program related to it is executed (assuming it exists).
One iRule Multiple Events & Multiple iRules
For the purposes of clarity, I've ignored the fact that a single iRule may contain multiple events, each with it's own input, computation, output(s) and execution event. Clarity notwithstanding, I think it is also accurate to think of each event within an iRule as the start of a separate program and a single iRule containing multiple events as a collection of programs. Others however, may not agree or have never considered this, which may cause confusion in discussion unless this viewpoint is made clear. Generally, an iRule is considered a single program by most.
The fact that multiple iRules, containing code for the same event, can be assigned to a single virtual server only confuses things further. Again, the definition described here helps makes things clearer. In this case, the combined input, computation and output of those multiple iRules containing the same event should be considered as one program (executed when that event occurs). This should help you better understand the potential 'contention' issues this can introduce and how to avoid or deal with them.
Note: The priority argument, if specified with an event (or an entire iRule) changes this default behaviour.
Combined Example
It may help your understanding further if I work through the examples given prior in one go, with some example code. To describe the program in everyday language;
– When a client connects to the virtual server the iRule is applied to, it will execute and will inspect the source IP address and compare it to the only approved address we wish to allow
– If the address matches, we will log some connection details and specify a SNAT address
– If the address does not match, we will drop the connection
Here's the actual iRule code (don't worry if you don't understand it, this is just a demonstration of theory);
when CLIENT_CONNECTED {
if { { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.11.12.99] } {
log local0. "Conn from [IP::client_addr] on port [TCP::local_port]"
snat 192.168.0.99
else {
- Execution: The CLIENT_CONNECTED event will occur on successful completion of a TCP three way handshake which will cause the iRule to execute
- Input: The IP (source address) and TCP (destination port) header field values in the packets used to establish the connection
- Computation: Compare the input data available (the client's source IP address) to the only approved address
- Output:
- If the address is the approved one, create a log entry, specify a SNAT address and end
- If the address is not the approved one, drop the connection and end – this will cause the CONNECTION_CLOSED event to fire and the execution of any code specified for that event (if any)

You may choose to have sex at university; you may not – if you do, it's important that you practice safe sex and have a good grasp of sexual health issues. In this section, we provide information about contraception, different types of sex acts and a range of sexually transmitted infections – what they are, what their symptoms are and how to protect yourself. If you are having sex, it's important to have regular sexual health check-ups, particularly if you've been having unprotected sex.
Whilst STIs are usually something that we as a community stay silent about, you will probably know someone who's had at least one or two of the more common infections, yet they're rarely talked about and we think it won't happen to us. However, anyone who has ever had sex may have an STI.

Hagens Berman filed a class-action lawsuit against Stericycle Inc. (NASDAQ: SRCL) alleging that the medical waste disposal company misled its customers, including veterinary clinics, medical clinics and medical labs regarding pricing.
The first amended complaint, filed Nov. 12, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, claims that Stericycle systematically and regularly raised prices despite agreeing to supposedly fixed-price contracts. Furthermore, the suit alleges that Stericycle failed even to inform its customers about the price increases.
The lawsuit details Stericycle's electronic billing and accounting software system, called Tower, which was allegedly set to default to an 18 percent "automated price increase" ("API") for "small-quantity" customers. According to the suit, those accounts made up 97 percent of Stericycle's customers worldwide.
Following the imposition of the API, the suit claims, Stericycle's customer service department received a large volume of complaint calls and customer service representatives were told to give false reasons for the price increases in order to get customers to pay. If customers continued to refuse to pay, representatives and customer retention personnel were instructed to give "price reductions" with the goal of getting customers to pay as much of the API as possible, attorneys claim.
Attorneys also claimed that Stericycle also improperly increased prices by charging a number of fees and surcharges, labeled as fuel costs or environmental fees. However, the suit claims these charges were not connected to actual costs, which is why Stericycle often hid them from customers on invoices by bundling them with its flat fees.
The plaintiffs, represented by Hagens Berman in the case, include a diverse set of Stericycle's customers, such as a veterinary clinic in Fayetteville, N.Y., a clinical laboratory in California, a dental practice in Miami, FL., a medical practice in Washington, D.C., and a plastic surgery practice in California, among others.
The suit charges the defendants with breach of contract and violations of consumer protection laws across a number of states. It asks the court to award damages to a class of Stericycle's customers impacted by the fraudulent behavior alleged in the complaint.

Since the Fukushima incident back in 2011, earthquakes in Japan have become a serious concern, which is why the earthquakes that rocked Fukuoka last week left residents feeling particularly rattled. At least 40 people were killed by the series of tremors, and many more were injured under the weight of collapsed buildings and fallen debris.
While this tragic loss of life is the most unsettling aspect of all, something else continues to baffle locals.
Strange foam (pictured below) has filled the streets of Fukuoka in the wake of this devastating disaster.

Residents of Fukuoka have much bigger fish to fry, however, after being slammed with more than one horrific tremor.
