The "New" Prinsendamby Theodore W. Scull
Originally completed in late 1988 as the Royal Viking Sun for the Royal Viking Line, she was designed to bring back roominess and space to that fleet. Royal Viking's original three ships, built in the early 1970s, were later "stretched" with new midsections inserted, boosting their passenger capacity to 750 and their size to 28,500 gross tons. The Royal Viking Sun carried 758 passengers within 37,845 gross tons.
The ship was first sold to Norwegian Cruise Line; then Carnival Corporation moved her to its Cunard Line, where the Royal Viking Sun soon became the Seabourn Sun for the Seabourn division -- an awkward fit, since she was so much larger than the original three Seabourn vessels and the Sea Goddess pair.
With a spare Scandinavian décor, she had a loyal following, but many felt she lacked warmth and bordered on the dull. Some improvements were made under the Cunard Seabourn banner; and now after more than a month in a Norfolk, Virginia shipyard, she has re-emerged with a new look that wooed nearly everyone I spoke to on the two inaugural sailings, notwithstanding some ongoing refurbishment of cabins and bathrooms.
Apart from the 1983-built Noordam, the entire HAL fleet design is based on the Statendam model, with subsequent vessels adding more upper-category cabins, increased tonnage and -- in the case of the Rotterdam and Amsterdam -- a couple of knots of extra speed.
Now with the Prinsendam, HAL has a distinctive ship suited to the upper end of the premium market, with brochure rates five to 10 per cent higher than the rest of the fleet.
As you approach the ship, you'll notice her newly painted blue hull. Once aboard, you'll see a curved double staircase rising through the five-deck atrium, decorated with handsome glass bas relief, tubular glass sculpture and Dutch maritime art.
Walking aft, you'll pass the Erasmus Library, furnished with four leather chairs. Then the angled corridor becomes a shopping arcade leading past the 100-seat Wajang Theater, used for films and lectures. The clubby Java Bar and Cafe� connects to the Oak Room, a largely unchanged masculine-style smoking lounge with electric fireplace; and to the moderately small casino, offering roulette, poker games, blackjack, dice and slot machines.
On the starboard side, the former Compass Rose has been freshly transformed into the Explorer's Lounge, a walk-through piano bar with tan leather chairs, dark veneer paneling and a patterned wine-red carpet. The artwork is a traditional style of Dutch maritime painting on aluminum (because of Coast Guard safety regulations), and a set of drawings touting early Dutch exploration.
Lower Promenade features a continuous wraparound walking deck where four laps equal a mile. The width permits easy passing, but not a line of lounge-style deck chairs as with the rest of the fleet.
Tables are set with Rosenthal china and Holland America embossed silverware. For dinner, the chairs were covered with a white drapery, giving the otherwise handsome room a sterile look. The upholstery beneath is plum purple with a pattern.
The former mid-ship section of the restaurant was converted into Holland America's trademark Ocean Bar, the ship's social center, with the varnished wood deck passage running through the lower lounge section parallel to the promenade deck windows; the bar, dance floor and bandstand are recessed on the raised interior portion.
The piece de résistance is this ship's Odyssey Restaurant, the alternative dining venue offering an Italian menu at no extra charge. Unlike the fleet's other Odysseys, which are windowless, this one looks out onto the Lower Promenade. It offers just 48 seats in a lovely paneled setting, with Murano glass wall scones set against a wine red and pale yellow fabric, the rich colors also matching the carpet. Happily, the Odyssey is also open for lunch, but reservations for more than one night per cruise will be hard to come by. Suite passengers get the first shot at reservations.
Moving to a different part of the ship, the Crow's Nest high up on Sports Deck is a lovely blue, green and aquamarine observation lounge, bar and piano bar. Its scale is more intimate--and better arranged for viewing--than the vast three-sectioned Crow's Nests on the bigger HAL ships.
Outdoor spaces include cozy fore and aft sections on several decks and the standard lido-style pool deck. This ship does not have a Magrodome, and the oversized whirlpool is almost as large as the small swimming pool. A larger pool is tucked aft behind the spa, gym and beauty salon complex. The lido restaurant is designed with double lines, plus a terrace grill, ice cream bar and sit-up bar, and a most attractive awning-covered seating area aft, a la Seabourn and Silversea.
Other spaces include an 11-station Internet Cafe, meeting and card rooms, art gallery, practice tennis, volleyball/basketball court and golf driving range.
The ship's 398 cabins, in seven categories, include just 25 insides and 151 with private verandas. A new block of 10 poorly designed balcony cabins is clustered aft in a private section of promenade deck. Eight have balconies that can easily be seen by those on the deck above, and two have smoked glass enclosures jutting out onto the aft deck. The Midnight Sun Lounge was sadly sacrificed to increase the passenger capacity.
All cabins have telephones with computerized wake-up service, multi-channel music system and closed circuit TV. Eight cabins are handicapped-equipped. During the refit, not all cabin bathrooms were redone, and some soft furnishings will be replaced, both ongoing projects. All but the inside cabins have full tub baths.
The biggest project of all was fitting 41,000 connections to provide the latest fire sprinkling system. (The previous Prinsendam, completed in 1972, burned and sank off Alaska in 1980.)

|the portable Canon LiDE 210
It make sense. Most people can only buy one scanner and they want to make sure that the one they pick is the best one. Most people only need one scanner. The only time I can think that you might need more than one scanner is if you scan things of varying size and type regularly for your work or if you are embarking on a long term project where a specialized type of scanner would be a help.
There is no perfect scanner and honestly there shouldn't be. Products that try to be everything to everyone usually end up failing. The best thing to do is to determine what you need to scan the majority of the time. You will have to accept some inconvenience but as long as you can accomplish your scanning task then that is the most important part.
So if you can only buy one scanner how do you choose?
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
What do I want to scan? (photos, slides, negatives, documents, photo albums, etc)
How do I want to use the scans? (printed photos, online for web and blogs, reviewing documents for research, incorporating documents or images into reports, sharing with family or clients, etc.)
Where do I need to scan? (at home, at someone else's home, in my office, in a repository or court house, in my car, at an exhibition hall of a conference, etc.)
What size object will I be scanning? (4x6 photos, letter-size documents, legal or 14x17 size documents, various size objects, big courthouse books, etc)
How often will I realistically scan? (every day, once a week, once a month, occasionally)
What is the ONE most important criteria I need from a scanner? (convenience of scanning location, light-weight, high quality, versatility, etc)
How much can I afford?
Over the coming week I plan to tackle all these issues and all the individual scanners (at least the ones I am familiar with).
Let me know some of your needs and concerns and I'll try to address them in my posts.

Royal Cocktail (No. 3)
1/3 Gin. (3/4 oz Plymouth Gin)
1/3 French Vermouth. (3/4 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth)
1/3 Cherry Brandy. (3/4 oz Cherry Heering)
1 Dash Maraschino. (1 dash Luxardo Maraschino)
Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass, with cherry.
In "Barflies and Cocktails", Harry McElhone notes this is a "Recipe by Otis Mackinney, from the Hotel Royal, Nice, 1908."
I liked this a lot more than the previous Royal Cocktail, but it is still not quite there for me.
A dash of Peychaud's Bitters, or maybe even Absinthe, would go a long way towards making this a truly exciting cocktail.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the so-called Princeton Committee for Palestine?
Answer: They are mad that the school-run stores sell Sabra hummus.
Why are they so worked up over hummus? Well, the hummus is owned by a business that supports the Israeli military.
Greg Gutfeld – from Big Hollywood – reports:
So in case you missed it, the big news in 2010 was in Princeton, NJ where students voted on expanding the schools hummus offerings.
Yes, hummus.
A group, called the Princeton Committee for Palestine, want the school-run stores to sell more than one brand of the chick pea concoction. They claim that the one offered, Sabra, is owned by a business that supports the Israeli military.
And, I think we can all agree: since Jews are bad, a Jewish military is really bad!
Yes, I apologize for scarring your retinas, but it must be done. You need to be reminded how foolish students can be – but also, how entertaining their foolishness is, provided you aren't close enough to smell their unshaven pits.
So, the gist: in these students misguided brains, hummus is worse than… Hamas.
I only hope that the idiocy they flaunt in that clip is more than matched by the sheer embarrassment of their parents.
Note: If these shameless creatures are your offspring, please stop paying their tuition, and force them to fend for themselves. My guess is any hummus will start looking tasty, for it will be all these hopeless sacks of self-congratulating cretins can afford.
Welcome to Liberal University La-La Land. Do I really have to elaborate more on this group of students' extreme idiocy?
This video is just another example of why I really dislike dirty hippies.

This table is a wonderful addition to our living Room, very good quality and exactly as described.
It looks good. feels good. have yet to sleep on it. A better choice for a trundle to ensure visitors have a good night while staying with me.
First time buyer with these guys and tbh didnt have high expectations
the table arrived exactly as requested and its really nice and im very happy
The build quality is better than i expected and i would totally recommend this for a small space like an apartment as its useful with the shelf for stuff as well as a cute coffee table
Really really comfortable. Firm. Good support. Pleased with our purchase
Quite a challenge to assemble but well worth it. Looks good and feels terrific.
A super comfy bed at value price. Very happy with purchase. Prompt delivery.
Small note of caution-due to the extra comfort, they are quite a high mattress if that could be a issue in your situation
I love the shelf and I give you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I absolutely love this desk! Good amount of space so that I can put my chair in without snags, the filing draw is great but just keep in mind that it's an A4 sized width. And if we move, we can switch the corner over to the other side. Love it!
Finally chairs that are wide enough to sit comfortably in :-D
The desk is beautifully made, very clear and precise instrucions with everything labelled and easy to find. A very precise perso has thought it up. Its like doing a jigsaw with big pieces. Take your time and open the box to find all the pieces before starting. A wonderful desk, looks good and is solid.
We are very pleased with the mattress; it is comfortable and supports your body where needed. Delivered in a box which made it easy to get into a lift
We live in an apartment!
All good. Product as expected and prompt, efficient service.
Arrived promptly. Very nice looking, loved the curved top, no corners to bump legs. Very pleased with them. Good sizes.
Delivery was no problem really good service and the products were lovely and warm really nice Thank you loved them

Excellent quality Lamp
A lovely model. Well packed. Good service.

Thank you very much for my fantastic cd/DVD storage unit. I love it. Easy to order online.

Great product, excellent communication and quick delivery 🚚
Thrilled with the Hans Wegner chairs I bought. service first class They arrived undamaged which is a first for me as most things from the internet that I buy are usually damaged.big tick from me
received these stools and they were exactly as described. Lovely chairs, exceptional quality and very quick delivery. Only thing I would recommend is the having pre-drilled holes in the cushions. Other than that they assembly was easy (cushion only to chair) and they are very stylish and sturdy. Recommend this retailer. Very happy
I needed a table to replace old cassette storage and hold my plants. I thought a glass topped table would look lighter and make the space look bigger - and it wouldn't suffer if the plants overflowed. I found this table online after a few false leads. I had never ordered furniture without being able to see it myself. It arrived in two days and was absurdly easy to assemble. The design is light and spare, real Danish influences. It took about ten minutes to assemble and it looks fabulous. I love it.
And the company was brilliant to deal with.
Very happy with Penelope Switch Table Lamp and the care taken with its postage to me.
Elegantly designed, very stable, has nice large shade, throws good light.
I haven't received it yet!

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 113 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
RDS Inc
A partner and I are launching a Microsoft-related technology business. We seek a slick, simple, corporate logo that incorporates our company name, and conveys professional competency. I am not going to put the name of the company here in the text, because we don't want it indexed on 99designs; but the initials of the (4 word, including inc) are RDSI.
Instead, i have attached a JPEG graphic file with the name of the company imbedded it won't be indexed by the search engines. When our customers "Google" our company name, we don't want them ending up here instead of on our site, down the road.
The logo design needs to incorporate the four words (the text) in the attached jpeg. You pick the "font"; and create the logo around those words. It could turn out to be as simple as some kind of digitization effect, or symbol of data around the text. Or, just the right font and a little bit of a design touch.
I've held quite a few contests on sitepoint in the past, they were all successful because i give quick, accurate feedback on all the excellent submissions. I was also featured on CBS TV interview in San Francisco with Matt, Sitepoint's founder (the video is on this site, and on StartupTrek.net).
I'm looking forward to another great contest with this one!
Our customers are corporations that are seeking help with deploying Microsoft's cutting-edge Office Communications server and Windows Server related technology in their enterprises.
We are located near Microsoft Corporate headquarters, in Redmond WA and "Redmond" is in our company name. So we probably want to create a red logo; a corporate shade of Red. Blue would be a safe second choice.
We want to use just one emphasis color, probably red, so that it can be printed on a business card / brochure / direct mail without requiring a 4-color print process. We want the aspect ration of the logo to be no greater than 2:1, or 1:2 (depending upon whether it's wider than it is tall, or vice versa).
We require that the completed logo be delivered in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) format, full layered with no fonts required. It must be a vector, not a raster graphic with paths for the text (as opposed to using font files).
We look forward to responding promptly to every entry, over the next week. Thanks for your interest, and we're looking forward to seeing some our new corporate identify come together!

Is paranoia a bad quality in an Attorney General? One would think so, and I speculate that Eric Holder's tenure may be drawing to a close. Yesterday, Holder had a bizarre encounter with a Daily Caller reporter:
Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder today demanded The Daily Caller stop publishing articles about the growing calls in Congress for his resignation because of the failed Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking program.
As Holder's aide was escorting the attorney general offstage following his remarks Tuesday afternoon at the White House, a Daily Caller reporter introduced himself and shook Holder's hand. The reporter asked him for a response to the growing chorus of federal legislators demanding his resignation.
Holder stepped towards the exit, then turned around, stepped back toward the reporter, and sternly said, "You guys need to — you need to stop this. It's not an organic thing that's just happening. You guys are behind it."
Here is Holder confronting the reporter:
The Obama administration takes the position, apparently, that the public and Congress have no legitimate interest in a federal program that deliberately equipped Mexican drug dealers with thousands of weapons and led to the deaths of an American border patrol agent and hundreds of Mexicans. Consistent with that view, it has sealed court records relating to the murder of border agent Brian Terry. The Obama administration gives the impression that it increasingly regards democracy as an inconvenience.

South Africa v Wales, Rugby World Cup, September 11
Crunch clash for Boks and Wales
ESPNscrum Staff
September 8, 2011
There are those that feel that John Smit is no longer worthy of a place in the Springbok front-row © Getty Images
It is rare that a reigning champion can go into a title defence under very little pressure to perform but that is the rather strange position that the Springboks find themselves in ahead of their World Cup opener against Wales, on Sunday.
South Africa deservedly lifted the Webb Ellis Cup in France four years ago but their triumph is still sneered at by some simply because emerged triumphant without having had to go through either New Zealand or Australia during their campaign, with their southern hemisphere rivals having suffered shock defeats in the last eight.
The quality and style of their play was also called into question during the tournament but the Springboks kept their heads down, stuck to what they were good at and were crowned world champions for the second time. They will be hoping for more of the same this time around.
The rugby world is primarily focused on the All Blacks and their quest to end their 24-year wait for World Cup glory so the pressure is pretty much off the Boks, which makes them a formidable proposition. There are serious concerns over the potency of their back-line and question marks over the continued presence of captain John Smit in the front-row but they remain a force to be reckoned with. They will be determined to prove as much against Wales on Sunday.
However, Wales are not exactly burdened by the weight of expectancy themselves. They suffered a humiliating first-round exit in France four years ago after losing out to Fiji in a thrilling winner-takes-all encounter at the end of the pool stages, so reaching the quarters would have to be considered as progress.
There is no doubt, though, that New Zealander Warren Gatland and his coaches will be looking beyond that. The Welsh seemed to go backwards after winning the Grand Slam in Gatland's first year at the helm but they showed signs of moving in the right direction again this year and their warm-up win over England in Cardiff will have done wonders for their self-belief. Certainly, they will feel that anything is possible if they can catch the Springboks cold this weekend.
South Africa - Player to Watch: At just 5ft 11in, Heinrich Brussow is a man among giants within the Springboks pack. But the Cheetahs openside is a key player for South Africa and his ability to pinch or slow down opponent's ball at the breakdown could strangle Wales' hopes of an upset.
South Africa - Team News: South Africa coach Peter De Villiers has named the most experienced side in Springboks history with a total of 815 caps among his chosen men. John Smit is recalled to lead from hooker, meaning Bismarck Du Plessis drops to the bench. Prop Tendai Mtawarira, loose forward Schalk Burger and fullback Frans Steyn also return to the starting XV while Danie Rossouw replaces the injured Bakkies Botha.
Wales - Player to Watch: The pressure will undoubtedly be on the young Scarlets fly-half Rhys Priestland who will be winning only his fifth cap against the World Champions. The Boks' beefy back-row and physical midfield will look to rush Priestland and he will have to show considerable skill and composure to navigate Wales towards the win.
Wales - Team News: Warren Gatland's decision to give Priestland the reins at No.10 means James Hook is reverts to fullback with Lee Byrne missing out on selection altogether. Dragons lock Luke Charteris is preferred to Bradley Davies in the second row while Toby Faletau retains the No.8 jersey with Ryan Jones injured on the sidelines along with Stephen Jones and Gethin Jenkins.
Key Battle: The battle at the breakdown and around the fringes is set to be fiercely fought and both sides will be glad to have physical scrum-halves directing their packs and pitching in when necessary. Wales' Mike Phillips and South Africa's Fourie Du Preez are among the most experienced and best in the world.
Trivia: Wales won all four of their games in New Zealand at the 1987 World Cup, finishing third after losing in the semi-finals to New Zealand in Brisbane.
Stats: South Africa need six more tries to reach the landmark of 100 World Cup tries.
Quote Unquote:
"This is a big game for us. We have been focusing on Wales for quite some time now, so hopefully we can get everything right and it will be a good occasion for us." - South Africa lock Victor Matfield is taking nothing for granted against Wales
"We are going into this game looking for a win. If you get the world champions in your pool you want to play them first up and throw everything you've got at them." - Wales coach Warren Gatland promises a fiery Welsh performance
Prediction: South Africa's superior power and physicality upfront will allow them to dominate and ultimately edge a fierce and tight encounter.

Remember the posters you used to hang up on your bedroom wall as a kid? I wonder where they've gone. I even remember there used to be entire poster shops, right? You know, with big plastic covers over the posters and you could leaf through them like a huge book, and when I was a kid sometimes I couldn't even turn over the pages that's how heavy they were. And then when you bought a poster the shop keeper would go into this back room to a huge rack full of rolled up and folded posters and somehow magically knew which poster to give - like he could see through the paper.
What I've always loved about posters is that they're so tangible: you get to wear them out with thumbtacks or tape... and then... then they really start looking good. Just like books... I love books when they're dog eared, coffee stained, and fall apart at the seams... the signs of living a full life.
For a while now I've offered these posters for sale at every exhibit, as a bonus for those who come to visit. On typical thin poster paper, pre-folded, add a little white or black space and some minimal type... they scream "abuse me, hang me up, fold me, tape me, tack me, tear me, let the sun bleach me... or be very careful and frame me. Just don't put me away somewhere dark and lonely..."
7,5€ (approx. $8.5) for a poster and a matching envelope (excluding shipping). They come pre-folded so they ship flat & inexpensive. And I've signed them on the front with a big fat marker pen. Twenty-five times cheaper than an 8"x10" archival quality signed print. Nine images, nine posters.
Yeah sure, you can buy all of them if you want :-)
Oh my. This is fun. Did I mention that I only printed 100 copies of each? The stock isn't gonna last long.... hurry hurry.
Cheers! a

> The salary cap in the first year of the deal will be flexible, with the previously set $70.2 million cap ceiling operating as a guide. The cap will drop to $64.3 million for the 2013-14 season, up from $60 million as proposed by the NHL earlier this week. That's good news for the Flyers, who won't need to do too much chopping to get down to that number. The Flyers have approximately $57 million committed to 16 players for 2013-14.
> We should call the shortened season Ilya Bryzgalov's last chance to persuade the Flyers he should stay in Philadelphia. That's because all NHL teams will be equipped with two compliance buyouts, also known as contract amnesties, to buy players out of their deal to get to the new salary cap number. No players may be bought out during the shortened season, though they must be bought out prior to the 2013-14 season.
They always find a loophole. Always. That contract is so awful. This isn't good news for Pens fans.

Ovation ED-190WW ellipsoidal spot is a trailblazer, the first high-power LED based fixture that makes it possible to retrofit lamp-based ellipsoidals without scratching off costly investment in dimming systems. Ovation ED-190WW is equally efficient running on constant power and DMX (as LED fixtures typically do) as it is when connected directly to a dimming power source. Advanced onboard electronics automatically detect what type of power and data the fixture receives and it responds accordingly. It performs as well as the original Ovation E-190WW with the same output and tremendous dimming performance. Now everyone can enjoy the benefits of LED lighting without being held back by previous investments made in major dimming systems.Features:

I have a physics problem I'd like to make sure I get correct.
The practical aspect of this problem is that the photosynthetic efficiency of algae is inhibited with dissolved O2 in the growth medium, and the economics of any algae cultivation system are very sensitive to photosynthetic efficiency.
The problem I'm trying to solve is determine the theoretic energy to separate a gas mixture of, O2, NH3 and H2O (in boiling point order) into two gas streams, one of which is 99.99% pure O2 but the other stream can have as much as 50% of the original O2 along with NH3 and H2O. The input and output temperatures and pressures are STP and the input, at least, is at saturated humidity.
Presumably, the energy is derived from the equations in this paper.
Any approximate ideas of what the formula would look like?
PS: The detailed model of the algae system is here.

The Worst Album Covers Of 2012
art is shrinking, from the LPs we once fondled to the tiny digital covers we
now squint to comprehend. But they'll never be too small to bring out the worst
in musicians and their art directors, as cover art always has. Nothing in 2012
could quite compare with the horror that was Lady Gaga's Born This Way album artwork in '11. But a lot of artists made their
best/worst attempts to uglify their covers, from Ke$ha to Carrie Underwood to
the Killers. Here are a dozen of the year's weirdest or most wretched album

SAVANNAH, Ga. -- A 26-year-old Savannah man who police say climbed into the wolf pen at Oatland Island was charged with trespassing after leading police on a foot chase through the woods.
Savannah-Chatham police were called to the wildlife education center about noon after witnesses reported seeing a man inside the pen that houses the wolves, said Julian Miller, police spokesman.
Patrol officers had to chase down John Floyd, of an East Park Avenue address, with a borrowed utility vehicle after he fled the pen and ran through several other enclosures before running down a trail, Miller said.
Once police apprehended him they discovered a container of sugar cubes, an unidentified brown crystallized powder, an unidentified liquid, a nearly empty bottle of Kahlua, and an almost empty half-gallon carton of soy milk.
Miller said police are continuing to investigate the incident.

I never thought I'd find myself in any place called "The Winner's Room," mingling with soap opera stars and clutching a huge gold statue.
But there I was. Well, that's where my body was, though some other part of me was hovering above the Century Plaza Hotel, just watching myself the way you watch an awards show on TV.
After I heard the first syllable of "Win Ben Stein's Money" - the show for which I was nominated for an Emmy as a writer - I went into some kind of shock. It wasn't bad shock, like "cover her with a blanket she's losing blood." It was a whole new kind of stunned, a blast of morphine-like euphoria that shot from my stomach out through my limbs.
A wide spotlight landed on the Ben Stein writing team and my numb feet, teetering in brand new $29.99 pumps, had to take me to the podium. As our elected speaker, Gary, struggled to thank the requisite producers, I stood behind him and gripped the prop Emmy, hoping my bra strap wasn't showing. When he finished, I leaned into the microphone and said stupidly, "Thanks everybody."
We were ushered down a hallway, where Gary was so shaken he had to take a knee.
"You okay?" I asked, helping him up.
"I just can't believe it," he responded, his eyes big and his legs shaking. I called my mom on someone's cell phone, I hugged everyone in sight, and next thing I knew, I was in the Winner's Room, picking up my very own Emmy, posing for pictures with the weighty golden lady in my sweaty paws.
"Wings out," people kept saying. "Those golden wings are sharp."
Someone far more spiritually advanced may have gleaned a deeper meaning from that message, but I just adjusted the statue in my arms, dutifully.
I'm not trying to be self-effacing when I tell you that I have never, ever, been a winner at anything.
When I got the call last month that we were nominated, I felt pretty darn good for a couple days. But life has a way of turning on you, doesn't it? My car died. I didn't get a job I wanted. I had to charge my rent. My date, an ex-boyfriend, suddenly remembered he had a prior commitment to go hiking with his brother in Hawaii the weekend of the Emmy's.
Great, I thought. I'll be sitting next to an empty chair in a dress from the mall I'll just have to return the next day because I'm the loneliest, brokest Emmy nominee in town.
"You'll have a good time by yourself," the ex said, shrugging it off. What I heard was, "It's just the technical awards. It's just the Daytime Emmys. It's not even televised."
My good feelings faded. I told the ex-boyfriend to take another kind of hike. I cried at the thought of myself sitting there alone, no one to comfort me if I lost or squeeze my hand if I won. I cried that deep kind of cry that hits you when you first wake up, that cry that sops up all the old painful experiences from your past and wrings them into your present. I got in my emotional time machine and felt sad for every time in life I ever felt abandoned. I got out of hand.
"Snap out of it," said my therapist. Well, he didn't put it like that but I'm translating from therapease.
So I did. I hauled myself to the used car lot and bought a car. Just after I put a down payment on a Taurus, I got a call for a new job, starting immediately. I splurged on my dream dress, a black, jersey wrap-around from Lura Starr that won't be going back. An old friend from college offered to accompany me and I was all set.
At the reception following the show, I walked around with my award and a glass of champagne, drawing stares. I wished I could mill around that hotel lobby forever, experiencing the unfamiliar end of the envy equation.
My date was perfect company in his rented tux and freshly washed car, telling me when my lipstick was smeared, refilling my drink, making easy conversation with my co-workers. The thing about platonic dates, however, is that like rented tuxes, they aren't really yours.
He dropped me off at the end of the night and I clomped up the stairs to my house and propped the Emmy up on the coffee table. I sat in the semi-darkness, smoking and staring at her pointy golden wings, the arch of her back.
I poured myself a mood cocktail, equal parts gratitude, pride and loneliness.
"Wings out," I said to myself, for no reason at all, and Emmy and I settled in to watch Saturday Night Live together.

ANGOLA, Ind. - It was a perfect ending to the season for the Trine University football team as they defeated Alma College 35-27 in their season finale at home. The Thunder end their second in the conference with a 5-1 record and 7-3 on the year.
Both sides struggled early in the opening quarter as Trine gained the only first down through the first five possessions of the game. The Thunder finally broke through in their third possession, as they used a short field to go juts 40 yards in six plays as senior Mike Inge (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Northern) ran in from 7 yards out.
The Thunder defense would force a turnover on Alma's third play as freshman Jake Boswell (Kokomo, Ind./Western) intercepted the pass at the line of scrimmage. Just four plays and 23 yards later, Inge would score again, this time from just a 1-yard out.
Two possessions later, Alma would score their first points against the Thunder in 11 quarters as Shannon Geren ran in from 4 yards out. Alma would add another score just before the half with 11 seconds remaining on a 1-yard pass as the game was tied 14-14 at halftime.
After neither team scored on their opening possessions of the second half, Trine struck pay dirt on their longest drive of the day, using 11 plays to go 63 yards. Senior quarterback Ryan Hargraves (Taylor, Mich./Truman) scrambled 10 yards for the touchdown.
On the first play of Alma's ensuing possession, sophomore Ryan Hogan (Vine Grove, Ky./Meade County) would strip the ball from the Alma running back as sophomore Tyler Guzy (Coldwater, Mich./Coldwater) fell on the ball. Just five plays later sophomore Austin Shoemaker (Huntington, Ind./Huntington North) ran the ball in from 7 yards out.
Alma would answer right back needing just five plays to go 75 yards to pulling within seven, 28-21.
Answering right back, the Thunder drove 70 yards, capped off by a Hargraves to Gage Corner (Leo, Ind./Leo) 17-yard touchdown, for the freshman Corner's first TD catch of his career.
Both defenses would then pick up as Alma would block a Trine punt, and then the Thunder would answer back by forcing another fumble as junior Blaek Combs (Rushville, Ind./Rushville Consolidate) would recover.
Alma would use three long plays on their next possession to setup a score with just 16 seconds left in the game. On the point after attempt, Boswell would again come up big for the Thunder, blocking the kick. Alma would recover the on-side kick as the Thunder were unable to come up with the ball. With the clock winding down, Alma went for the Hail Mary pass, but Combs came down with the interception for Trine to end the game.
Hargraves ended the final game of his career completing 17-of-24 for 177 yards and a score while taking the ball 11 times for 16 yards and a touchdown. Shoemaker led the Thunder with 72 yards on the ground on 15 carries while reaching the end zone and 74 yards receiving on five catches. Inge finished his final game for Trine with 45 yards on 15 carries and two scores.
Senior Myron Puryear (Canton, Mich./Plymouth) led the Trine defense with nine total tackles including a game-high eight solo stops and an interception.
Trine ends their season for the six straight season with a winning record. Alma's touchdown in the second quarter was the first the Thunder have allowed to the Scots since their October 10, 2009 game when Alma scored in the third quarter. Trine finished with a season-high three interceptions.

He sold his agency before he turner 30 to Thread Media, where they then employed him as a director.
During his time at Thread John helped conceive and run Project Brabham, at its time the biggest ever sports crowdfunding campaign. He left Thread to form TribeFirst, the first Crowdfunding agency globally to offer a risk/reward model on equity crowdfunding campaigns.
TribeFirst is a Virgin StartUp funded business, and partners with all of the major UK platforms. John is also a published author, with his second book being recently crowdfunded on the premier book crowdfunding site, Unbound.
