The Joy of Signing
To Jane:
Enjoy the story, and hope that nasty skin condition clears up soon!
Best Wishes,
Ima Writer
I was so clueless when I turned pro that I thought you had to ask the publisher's permission to sign your own books (because otherwise you're defacing their property, or at least that's how I'd worked it out in my head.) I bet the editor is still laughing over that e-mail.
Some writers are great signers. Their handwriting is gorgeous, and/or they write personal notes that are as wonderful to read as their stories. A few of the artistic authors out there like Poppy Z. Brite and Stuart MacBride sometimes draw sketches in their books, which makes them instant, one-of-a-kind treasures.
Some serious book collectors prefer name-only autographed books, or what Stephen King called flatsigned editions. This is when the author signs just their name directly on a page, usually the title page. I rarely flatsign books because it seems a little impersonal to me, but there are web sites out there now like this one where you can buy them.
What most interests me is what an author puts above their signature as a sign-off phrase. "Best Wishes" is the most common, and I still use that myself. I try to use different sign-offs for each pseudonym, i.e. Blessings, Rebecca Kelly and Best Wishes, S.L. Viehl. When I branched out into vampire fiction, I wanted something different that tied into the series, which is when I came up with Always, Lynn Viehl as a sign-off.
Readers, who are some of your favorite signers, and writers, how are you going to sign your books? Let us know in comments.

I try to personalize every book that I sign, unless the customer requests signature only. I also always confirm the spelling of their name. Sure as the sun, the day I don't confirm that it's S-u-e is the day that the woman spells her name S-i-o-u-x. (It's happened!)
Since my books are set in the Keys, I often use, "Enjoy this trip to the Keys. All the best, Mary Stella." It seems a nice-tie-in without being overly corny. If the buyer is someone that I had met before, I acknowledge that with "Great to see you again".
Obviously, I don't have a long line of people waiting at any given moment, so I have time to write all this. I've noticed that Nora Roberts often just rights Cheers, Nora Roberts. Guess that helps when her crowds could fill a stadium.- Anonymous9:29 AM
As a reader, my favorite signatures are those that come out of a conversation with an author... but of course the author rarely has time for this.
I've seen a couple authors sign books who have a predetermined phrase that goes in each book, which I think is cute -- personal, but not requiring too much thought. Kind of like Mary Stella's Keys note. I've always felt it was too arrogant(for me, not for other authors) to command a reader to "Enjoy!" so I try to sign off with something related to my story. For my time travel romance I signed, "Thanks for traveling through time with me--" before my name.
As for books I buy, I don't pay much attention to the greeting, just the signature of the author.One of my favorite author signings was at last year's Hypericon. My friend Alethea shared a table with Sherrilyn Kenyon. Alethea had all these Sharpies and decorated each title page of her children's book before signing. Sherrilyn had color coordinated office supplies and a couple of stamps with witty book-related slogans. There was much giggling.
ReplyDeleteWhat's really fun is when a reader brings you four or five different titles and while it always blows me away, trying to come up with four or five clever, witty things to say?
I don't think fast when I'm blown away.
Generally, I try to write something that relates to the book, like with the Hunters, I use my tag line "EVER BEEN HUNTED?" and my name.
If it's somebody I've had contact with over the net, that makes it easier.I love the idea of signing with a different sign-off per pseudonym (or series, I suppose). That would sort-of become part of the recognized signature, that way.
For myself, I'll worry about what to sign when I get a publishing contract, and not before. And as a reader, any signature is good. I'm not picky.Signed books don't have much attraction for me, although I still remember having a book signed when I was a little girl by an author who later turned out to have molested little girls. Yeuch. I still have that book, somewhere, but it's not a treasured possession.
I do wonder sometimes how I would deal with booksignings (not that it's likely to happen, lol). After some time spent in a job where I had to sign anything between twenty-five and a hundred receipts per day, my signature is little better than a squiggle. I doubt it would be a precious moment when that appeared on the title page!
Personally I think I'll have a stamp.I went to a book signing, where the author passed out sticky notes and pens. She'd have you write your name and any specific message you'd like on your book that way she could spend more time talking and not have to ask questions about the spelling, or what the reader wanted. On occasion, she'd even suggest a line for those who were stuck--like "Nice to meet you." "Good luck with your writing" Or what I ended up getting for my boyfriend...."Heard you were cute. Sorry I missed you." I thought it was pretty clever and it gave the people in line something to do while they waitd, for a while anyways. The wait was pretty long.
ReplyDeleteMy agent just sold my first book, so I will admit to lately thinking about how I will sign books one day. What's the best way to sign your name? Is there a best way? Because I don't really think you can change it once you start, so it's got to be right from the beginning.
During a slow evening I did a series of ways of signing on pieces of paper and compared them, and found that I really liked one that had just my three initials, KAN. It actually flowed out very smoothly every time, by doing three curves at the end so it was all one shape.
SHARPIES are best. It gives strength to the signature, I think. Plus it's permanent.I usually only get books signed when the author is standing next to me when I buy them - which is why my copy of the Etched City features the author's chocolate thumbprint (there was a plague of chocolate frogs at that convention) and an impenetrable con reference. It's my favourite signature.
ReplyDeleteI've been to some signings where the author would only flatsign their books. Of course, even waiting in line some of my favorites will personalize several book. Most of the time it depends on where you get the books signed. Some of the booksignings will only allow you to buy the current book and have it signed. I prefer to get books personalized if possible. I'm not going to sell any of the books I've gotten signed,so it just makes it more special to me.
ReplyDeleteDave Eggers drew "A floating ball of flesh...with teeth" (as he described it) for my friend's edition of "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius." I liked it so much, he drew me a similar, yet distinctly unique drawing - my ball of flash could not float, and instead was leaning on a stick.
Marjorie Liu (whom I like to consider sort of a friend) used the sign off "You stalker you! - Marjorie" (I ran into her at almost every turn at RWA in Atlanta (some of those run ins were completely unintentional!)Unless the reader has a special request or there's something else for me to comment on (like we'd just had lunch at a quirky deli or sat next to each other on a plane or whatever), I customize autographs to the specific book. A sig for Ghosts would be something like Stay warm!, Threads could be A little string goes a long way! and Valley might be Don't lose your head!. I have several options for every book so I don't feel like a one-trick-robot. It works great for customized book plates, too.
ReplyDeleteAs a reader, I like "To (me)" - insert name as appropriate.
Terry Pratchett signed two of my books and what made it special was actually meeting the guy. This was before he was quite so famous, but there was still a long line to get his signature.
I think that with any author, including the less famous ones, it would be the specialness of meeting the person who had written something that I enjoyed reading.
I've just got a book from Deanna Molinaro: As An Alligator http://www.deannamolinaro.com/Stuff_That_I_Made/Books/Alligator/Alligator_title.html
and she signed it to my sister with a drawing of an alligator. It's cute and special - even if we have only met online.And sometimes a very talented, but unwilling to admit it, sketch artist puts a carrot in the sig :D.
Actually, I understand the feeling about not defacing the book, though I've only felt it from the reader side, but yeah, you probably have become one of those tales editors tell each other over a beer.
Clever on the key words, especially Always :D.

A new video from the so-called Islamic State (IS) shows a child - purportedly British - appearing to execute a prisoner.
Five boys stand in front of five men in orange jumpsuits in the video. The boy captioned as Abu Abdullah al-Britani (the Briton) is white.
A child captioned Abu al-Bara al-Tunisi (the Tunisian) addresses the men - apparently Kurdish fighters - promising more violence, according to the BBC.
The other children are said to be Abu Ishaq al-Masri (the Egyptian), Abu Fu'ad al-Kurdi (the Kurd) and Yusuf al-Uzbaki (the Uzbek).
The identity of the child said to be British has not been verified.
Children have featured prominently in IS propaganda. In February, IS released a video purportedly showing a young British boy - thought to be four-year-old Isa Dare - blowing up a car and killing three prisoners inside.
He is the the son of Muslim extremist Grace "Khadija" Dare from Lewisham, south-east London, who travelled to Syria in 2012.

Richard, Duke of York : King by Right Hardback
by Matthew Lewis
Richard, Duke of York is a man most frequently remembered by history as a pyromaniac who set England alight, his burning ambition and unquenchable desire for the throne igniting the Wars of the Roses.
The son of a traitor who inherited a dukedom aged four and became the wealthiest man in England at thirteen, he rebelled against his king, bringing bloody civil war to England.
Father to two kings and an ancestor of the Tudor dynasty, his legacy has long been written in blood. Matthew Lewis seeks to uncover the real man beneath the legend.
This book will delve into the source material to peel back the layers of myth and uncover a complex man, who pushed the limits of the political establishment, who dared to fight back and who was forced to do the unimaginable.
A complex man with unrivalled power and authority, this book will question the accepted image of Richard, who has been remembered as one whose ambition knew no bounds. Who was Richard, Duke of York? What drove the most powerful man in England to turn against his king?
Was he a ruthless grasper or a selfless guardian?

Love Food Love Life
Explore your relationship to food, body, and self in a nourishing space.
You're invited to a safe space to explore your relationship to food, body, and self. Come give and receive support as you move past negative thought patterns, grow self-acceptance, and allow for greater self-expression. Discussion topics will vary each week ranging from letting go of control, moving away from 'shoulds', replacing the common indulge/deprive cycle with the sweet spot of nourishment and pleasure, and caring for your body instead of punishing it. All are welcome, including those facing a diagnosable eating disorder.
£8 per session. Sundays at 12pm starting January 15th. Click here to RSVP through Urban Zen.
Nourish Your True You
Connect to and nourish your truest self.
Come give yourself some space to pause and reflect on what is and isn't working for you. Breathe in some nourishment as you connect with what is possible for your life. Each week a different tool will be shared that will help connect to and express your True You, leaving you grounded and with options of what you can start doing differently. We'll explore a range of topics including connecting to our feelings, communicating effectively with love, moving past fears, creating balance in our lives, maintaining healthy boundaries, and more.
£8 per session. Sundays at 1:30pm starting January 15th. Click here to RSVP through Urban Zen.
Be the change you want to see. – Ghandi
Watching someone we love struggle and suffer with their relationship to food, body, and self can wreak just as much havoc on your life as it does theirs. It's easy to see what needs to be fixed, and want to jump in and change their lives for them. Lasting change however starts from within, and it starts with each one of us. By embracing and becoming the change we want to see, healing ourselves first, we make room for healing to happen in the lives of those we love. Alongside workshops and talks, give perspective, support, and guidance, answering common questions such as: 'What is actually going on?', 'What can I do to help?', and 'What should I say?'. The answers are often less about doing, and more about being the person that shows them love, respect, and compassion, and demonstrates how to give that to yourself first. These workshops will give you tips and tools to help grow and show your love as you walk alongside someone struggling with their relationship to food, body and self.
Workshops and talks are bespoke to your community. Get in touch to discuss how we can come alongside you.

Oh sure, I'd gone to Lamaze where the nice blond lady tells you that you just do some breathing and it won't hurt as much.
*she lied*
But in general, I didn't know the process. After all, I wasn't "seasoned" (I'm not a Duggar). I just kinda did what everyone told me what I was supposed to do.
"Go there."
"Put on this ugly assed robe"
"Lay on your left" (or was it my right?)
"Let me look at your coochie again"
You pretty much lose all modesty - you have no choice. That horrific, life altering moment (and not the good parts) kinda change you. That and eating soggy teething biskets and not brushing your hair for 4 days.
All I can remember at certain points of the delivery was *Leave. Me. Alone.* This includes nurses that wanna poke at your anything, doctors that come in during the last 35 seconds but mostly moms that walk in during your third good push.
I kinda imagine this is how she feels:
She's persistant if nothing else.
And somewhat patient, I have a feeling it's not her first litter. Or flock, or clutch, or whatever the hell a Robin has.
Apparently, this is just the best spot EVER to make a nest. I was convinced that I would not see her again as I really pestered the nest last year taking pictures literally every other day. After a while I felt kinda guilty. However, she must not have been too angry because she came back for a second session in late summer.
Or maybe I'm just clueless and this is really just an offspring, or a cousin, or an intruder or one of the outcasts from "The Hills". Who knows.
Regardless of the who, or the why, or the when, the little eggs come anyway. Isn't robin's egg blue, one of the prettiest colors on the planet? I can kinda see why Tiffany's made this the color of their boxes. (Since I took this photo, a fourth one has appeared. )
This really is a bad spot, and she seems very flighty.
God I slay me sometimes.
You see, this pole is directly between my back door and my new chicken coop.
There's a lot of activity between here and there and she's not fond of activity. It's so *refreshing* to hear a bird flap right in your ear as you pass by.
I'm kind of worried that they won't hatch as we are out there so much she is off the nest a lot. Having said that, It's not my fault she picked a lousy neighborhood! I mean really.
Have you SEEN the neighbors? Someone call the HOA!
No birds were harmed in the filming of this post. However, I did finally solve the mystery of why my socks always look grungy and filthy.
PS. I apologize to my children that had to hear their mom use the word "Coochie"
Apparently I'm an accomplished liar.
Not only are my chickens still in a playpen in my dining room (long story involving a husband and tar paper. Let's not go there), but also I am still washing dishes by hand. Let's just say, an entirely different person is going to install it for me.
I'm kinda hoping that person won't be me.

One of my favs for bagged tea. It's a nice gentle combination of green and white tea. Sure sometimes you can mix them yourself, but sometimes you simply can't.

White tea, earl grey; hot and iced. And almost always unsweetened. This tealover also loves design, image manipulation, photography, science, and nature. The most important thing I have learned is to never stop learning.

Google Chrome OS Engineer Moves to Facebook
By Baselinemag | Posted 2010-06-29 Email PrintCould Facebook have cloud operating system designs of its own? Less clear is how this loss will impact Chrome OS, which is still on track to roll out on netbooks from HP, Acer, Asus, Lenovo and Dell beginning this fall.
Facebook has poached Matt Papakipos, the lead engineer behind Google's important Chrome Operating System initiative.Papakipos, who last November introduced Chrome OS as a fast-loading cloud operating system for netbooks, announced the move in a tweet on Twitter June 28: "Now that Chrome OS & WebGL are in good shape, it's time for something new. I'm going to work @ Facebook!"
Google commented: "Matt made great contributions to Google, and we know he'll do the same in his next endeavors. We wish him the best."

Beautiful floor, great price

Comments about Brazilian Cherry Laminate End Cap:
We redid our entire main floor with this laminate. Has a great "real wood" look with excellent durability (we dropped giant screw drivers on samples before purchasing and no marks were made). Our friend who installs floor professionally said that it's a pain to install compared to real hardwoods. But, he did it and it looks great!

When All Around Has Fallen Lyrics
Artist: Delirious?
Album: Cutting Edge
When all around has fallen your castle has been burned
You used to be a king here now no one knows your name
You live your life for honour, defender of the faith
But you've been crushed to pieces and no knows your pain
Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, rise I'll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, rise with me
When tomorrow has been stolen and you can't lift your head
And summer feels like winter your heart is full of stone
Though all your hopes have fallen your skin is now your only armour
Wear your scars like medals defender of the faith
Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, rise I'll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, come lay your faithful head, be still my friend
Come rise with me

San Manuel Court Building
The San Manuel Tribal Court was established under the San Manuel Judicial Code in 2003. After several years of development, the court opened on October 23, 2009.
The Tribal Court exercises general civil jurisdiction over tribal citizens and persons who have consented to tribal jurisdiction, either expressly or implicitly by entering the San Manuel Reservation or engaging in contractual relations with the Tribe. The Tribal Court does not hear gaming-related disputes, which are handled in accordance with the Tribal-State Compact.
The San Manuel Tribal Court consists of the Trial Court and the Appellate Court. The Trial Court's Chief Judge acts as the Chief Administrator of both the Trial Court and the Appellate Court.
The Chief Judge and Appellate Judges are appointed by the General Council, in consultation with the Judiciary Committee. Pro-Tempore Judges (temporary judges) are appointed by the Business Committee, in consultation with the Judiciary Committee and the Chief Judge.
The Judiciary Committee is comprised of three members:
The Judiciary Committee is responsible for those duties reasonably related to the administration and operation of the Tribal Court, including reviewing the qualifications of candidates for Tribal Court Judges, advising the Tribe's General Council on matters relating to the Tribal Court, adopting Rules of Court and establishing the schedule of court fees.
The Trial Court is presided over by the Chief Judge. A Pro-Tempore Judge hears matters that the Chief Judge is unable to hear.

The Appellate Court of the San Manuel Tribal Court hears appeals from final judgments and other final orders of the Trial Court. The Appellate Court is comprised of a three-judge appellate panel.

Judge Taylor was appointed to the Appellate Court in September 2009.
Judge Taylor obtained his law degree from the University of California at Davis in 1969.

It's pretty obvious why John Colby is obsessed with DBS:<quoted text>
If DBS is irrelevant why are YOU obsessed with him, John?
More cut and paste spam from John E Colby, cyberstalker and Loon who was evicted from his section 8, catcrap-stinking hovel for stalking his neighbors, peeping in their windows in the middle of the night, aggressive behaviour, making false police reports and threatening to go "postal".
John's biggest accomplishment, after a life of abject failure, was getting evicted from Mission Gardens Apartments. You have to move heaven and earth to remove a nutjob who is. receiving public assistance.
1) John has a "man" crush on DBS.
2) DBS has hurt lil johnny's feelings.

This is the perfect neutral nail polish for fair to medium girls (and probably for more-- but I can only speak to my experience). This is a classic Essie polish. Great quality at a drugstore price. The name of the colour sums it up perfectly. I feel classy and like a lady when I wear it. It is a colour that evokes maturity with out seeming dated.

ArchShowcase Sumit Singhal
Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. BMW Central Building in Leipzig, Germany by Zaha Hadid ArchitectsNovember 16th, 2011 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Zaha Hadid Architects Our Central Building for BMW constituted a radical reinterpretation of the traditional office – transforming the building and the functions it contains into a more dynamic, engaging 'nerve-centre' or 'communication knot' – funneling all movement around the manufacturing complex through a space that transcends conventional white collar/blue collar spatial divisions.
BMW's bold objective was to translate functional industrial architecture into a new 'aesthetic' – to use the new Central Building at its Leipzig manufacturing centre as a transition zone between manufacturing halls and public spaces, from which all the complex's activities gathered and branched out. We conceived the Central Building, positioned between other existing or planned structures, as an orientating and animating force field, a compression chamber through which all movement converged, from the cycles and trajectories of workers to the production line itself, which traversed this central point. Within the building, following a primary 'scissor-section' strategy, two sequences of terraced plates step up like giant staircases from north to south and from south to north, creating a continuous connection. One cascade begins close to the public lobby overlooking the forum to reach the first floor in the middle of the building. The second starts with the cafeteria at the south end, moving up to meet the first cascade then all the way up to the space projecting over the entrance. At the bottom of the void between the floors is the auditing area – a central focus of attention. Above the void, half-finished cars are open to view moving along their tracks between the surrounding production units. In stark contrast to conventional, functionally-exclusive offices, employees are integrated through transparent internal organisation that mixes functions and traditional status groups, from engineering to administrative, white collar to blue collar – preventing the establishment of exclusive domains. A large car park is transformed into a dynamic spectacle in its own right, showcasing the lively, sparkling, moving field of car bodies in the arrangement of parking lots. Here, cars swoop underneath and set visitors down as they are greeted by views through the glazed public lobby, deep into the building. The Central Building is the active nervecentre or brain of the whole factory complex. All threads of the building's activities gather together and branch out again from here. This planning strategy applies to the cycles and trajectories of people – workers (arriving in the morning and returning for lunch) and visitors – as well as for the cycle and progress of the production line which traverses this central point – departing and returning again. This dynamic focal point of the enterprise is made visually evident in the proposed dynamic spatial system that encompasses the whole northern front of the factory and articulates the central building as the point of confluence and culmination of the various converging flows. It seems as if the whole expanse of this side of the factory is oriented and animated by a force field emanating from the central building. All movement converging on the site is funnelled through this compression chamber squeezed inbetween the three main segments of production: Body in White, Paint Shop and Assembly. The close integration of all workers is facilitated by the overall transparency of the internal organisation. The mixing of functions avoids the traditional segregation into status groups that is no longer conducive for a modern workplace. A whole series of engineering and administrative functions is located within the trajectory of the manual workforce coming in to work or moving in and out of their lunch break. White collar functions are located both on ground and first floor. Equally some of the Blue Collar spaces (lockers and social spaces) are located on the first floor. Especially those internal reserve spaces that are waiting for full use in Phase 2 are allocated as social communication spaces to mix blue and white collar workers. This way the establishment of exclusive domains is prevented.

I was hoping you all would offer your opinions~ we were hoping to sail on the Fantasy in 2012, we are a family of 5. My kids will be 17, 14 and 10 at the time of sailing. We sailed in the family stateroom on the Wonder 5 years ago, and the fit was fine, but I'm thinking one stateroom will be too tight with my kids much older. We could book two inside rooms on deck 5, 6 or 7 (I think) or one room on deck 8 or 9 for basically the same price. What do you think? I would love your comments/experiences. Thanks!
Just my opinion, but with the ages of the kids, I would book two cabins, if it's about the same price. That extra bathroom would really come in handy.
We are also a family of 5 and chose to book a Cat 5c verandah across the hall from an 11B inside room. Granted, it is more expensive, but we at least have a verandah which we've come to enjoy over our last two cruises. The rooms are smaller on the new ships so I'm very uncomfortable with a Cat 4 or one of the porthole family staterooms. We did a Cat 4 on the Wonder with the kids (ages 14, 12 and 8 at the time) and felt very tight. Plus, there were times were one kid ran up to Deck 9 just to use the restroom. Having the two restrooms, two TVs and more space are worth it to us. Although you won't have a window if you get the two inside staterooms, at least the new ships have the virtual portholes. Our kids are actually looking forward to that in their room!
Our favorites are 2 category 9's on deck 2-- close to the dining rooms (1 floor up), and only 1 deck down for debarkation in port. Pretty quiet, too. We just booked this for our sailing on the Fantasy's Maiden Voyage! We have sailed in one cabin on deck 7 & twice in 2-9's on deck 2, and we are sailing on deck 2 again in Feb. & April 2012. If you get connecting cabins the kids feel like they have some freedom, but you can still check on them. AND, this configuration was always cheaper than a Cat. 4, but I did not price out 1 cabin on the Fantasy, as it would just be too tight for us. Our boys are 16, 14, &3. And they are messy!!! It is nice that they are offering a capacity of 5 in the new cat. 8's, though.
Look for adjoining rooms. It's almost impossible to get rooms across the hall from each other on the Fantasy. See my other post today. We're only a family of 4, but really want the space. We booked connecting 8Ds, rather than get a higher Cat w/ more space.
Thanks for the advice, this is exactly the information I was looking for. I agree that the two cabins are the way to go, just have to figure out which categories. I like the idea of doing a split category, one verandah, one inside room closeby if that's possible. I guess I have my research cut out for me. Thanks so much! Like I said, we've cruised DCL before, it's so different now with the new ship configurations/categories. Any other suggestions? You all are the best~
Where did you find a 5C across from an 11B? The closest I found to that were the sideways 11B's on deck 7 which made them close, but not directly across the hall like you're able to do with the Magic/Wonder.
Here's a link to a good set of deck plans to use - they're much better than the virtual ones on DCL's website. By clicking on them, you can enlarge them so you don't need a magnifying glass to read them. Deck Plans for Dream and Fantasy I especially like these because they have all the decks side-by-side so you can see what's above and below you. One thing to consider when you book a separate stateroom for your kids is that most of the cabins on the Dream and Fantasy are connecting. If you are booking something across the hall from you, it's safer if you can get one that doesn't connect. I am not comfortable having my kids connected to strangers. Aft on Decks 6, 7, 8, and 9 are inside staterooms that open onto an interior hallway near various Cat 5, 6, and 8 staterooms. Because of the interior hallways, they are not directly across the hall, but are fairly close. There are also some forward on Decks 7, 8, and 9. A bit OT, but look at the inside staterooms all the way forward on Deck 5, right next to Vibe. How much sleep do you think the poor people in those cabins will get right next to the teen club?
If it were me, I would book the connecting rooms. That way the doors stay propped open the entire trip (that would be a firm rule) and you always know what they are up to in the cabin (i.e. reading, sleeping, showering, fighting lol!). Also, a few years ago my ds probably would have bolted the room door when he was sleeping; he is a VERY heavy sleeper and I would have had no access to the room. Therefore he would have missed excursions, shows, entire ports, etc. I always have to know what the kids are up to (I am a type A personality though)!
Does anyone know if access to Vibe comes from the hallway where the staterooms on deck 5 forward are located? Looks like those staterooms (especially the 11b's) could possibly be the worst location on the entire ship!
Looking at the deck plans, it sure looks like that will be the entrance. I don't see any stairs noted inside Vibe itself. The theater is right below and there are staterooms above, so I think the poor folks in those staterooms are in for a wild time. It wouldn't surprise me to see Disney downgrade them to an 11Z or something - personally I'd call it an 11NS, for 11 No Sleep.
Thanks for the suggestions~ I will have to tuck them away. Family concensus is that DS would rather have his share of the cruise $ put towards getting a car, and DD would rather have her share put toward playing in a more competitive volleyball club. Looks like the Fantasy will stay just that for me! Will be living vicariously hopefully through all your trip reports!
We booked 1 inside cabins for our 3 kids and ourselves and they will only be 3,4.5 & 6.5 yrs old! LOL With older bigger kids... I would NOT hesitate. Get the 2 cabins. You are only really going to sleep in it. Unless you want a verandah for sea days
We are a family of 5 too and ALWAYS get two adjoining rooms. We are booked on the Dream with 2 outside cabins. I havent looked at the deck plans but I know on a different cruise line we were even able to get a verandah with adjoining just outside and saved a bunch....check out the "corner rooms" near the front and back sometimes there are some connecting that are not the same type of room. the 2 bathrooms are a must with 5 people!
By the way, mousemom11, thank you for posting the awesome deck plans for the new ships! It's awesome and so easy to use! Much appreciated!
I "ALMOST" booked aroom on deck 6 w/ a room that I thought was directly across the hall. NOT! If I hadn't asked the DCL rep to ask his supervisor what those grey rectangular boxes are aft on decks 6, 7, 8, & 9, I would've wound up w/ a WALL between our cabins. Those rooms open into their own little hallway. Someone suggested getting an outside room w/ one of the sidways cabins across the hall. They were all booked by the time I checked late into the 2nd day of bookings. A lot of the gold & platinum people must have grabbed those up. Be careful where you book on the Dream & Fantasy if you expect rooms directly across the hall from each other. It's much easier to do this on the Wonder & the Magic. We plan to have an adult take turns sleeping on our Alaskan cruise where we have a verandah room w/an inside room across the hall. We don't trust our kids that much & frankly I love my DH, but he snores. I'll probably sleep in the room w/ DS who is a night owl like me--can't fall asleep w/ out lots of reading. And I'll let the 2 snorers stay together. DH & I can always take naps during the day.
That's good to know, DVC Mary! Just out of curiosity, I tried to price out an Oceanview stateroom and a standard inside cabin (appeared to be across the hall, but who knows!) and it was actually more expensive to do it that way then two connecting Oceanview staterooms. I'm thinking like I'm reading on another thread that the inside staterooms are a little more expensive because of the supply and demand theory.

Hello again all! I'm back after a long absence.
after at least 6 years of trying to not accept my mental state and at least another 4 trying desperately to resolve my issues my self I have finally given in a have booked a doctors appointment to seek help for what ever it is I have wrong with me. I did make some progress on my own but overall I have failed. I still find my self overwhelmed at times an unable to defeat what seems like my band mind with my good one. Its almost like being a different person at times.
What I need is an idea of what to expect from treatment I will get from the NHS in UK.
From what I have read online and heard from the two friends I know who have gone down the route before me (one wouldn't tell me much the other only did one session of CBT and thought it was useless) I am expecting to be referred to a specialist who will then either treat me directly or again refer me to someone else. I expect I will have to do a certain number of CBT sessions before being offered medication.
I also expect the doctor will take into consideration my symptoms when placing me in the waiting list and before prescribing any treatment what so ever.
Bellow I have outlined my symptoms. I will take note of these to give to my doctor to make things easier.
• Depression in distinct waves lasting from a few days to a few weeks. They can be provoked by an argument or being ignored. Generally: failure, loneliness and humiliation. It's a bit like being a different person, two very different perceptions and ways of thinking. I do not experience periods of mania like a manic-depressive I only revert to a more normal and positive way of thinking. In these periods, I often make good progress in the things I want to achieve but they are only brief periods of a few weeks which often makes my efforts in vein by the time the next wave hits.
• Always found it very difficult to sleep unless very distracted or extremely tired.
• Violent and distressing dreams and thoughts. I have never acted on any of my violent thoughts, nor do I hear voices. I usually get them a few hours or days after someone wrongs me and I have started thinking about it.
• Always found it very hard to socialise. Other people seem to have an instinct I don't. Confidence not an issue anymore but to be social I have to put on a front which can be very draining. I have a few friends but no close or best friends. I have lacked a best friend/s since the age of about 10-11. I think a lot of people I know from school still and always will see me as a weird loser and they treat me as such. When I have met new people, who don't know my past they are much warmer to me.
• Anger. I don't feel like I am angry anymore but I do have a very short and unpredictable temper. It never goes been harsh words and I feel this works against me as most people would respect me at least out of fear if I just hit people who pissed me off without warning and with total disregard to my wellbeing. I was angry a lot more of the time in my teenage years.
• Aches and pains
• Addison's disease. I was diagnosed with Addison's disease about 4 years ago. I think it could be the cause or maybe a result of my depression as both cause stress and are brought on due to stress. It's a bit like which came first the chicken or the egg. As a result I have to take tablet for the rest of my life. See below.
• Lowering the dosage of my hydrocortisone, after cold for example, (I have to up my dosage in times of particular stress such as illness) will always cause a wave of depression a day or two after the lowered does.
• I have always felt my best when I take my hydrocortisone at exactly the same time but I am not sure if slight deviations affect my mood
• Alcohol not surprisingly will cause a bout of depression if I find myself alone at the end of the night as I often do. I'm fine when still with people though.
• I think things over and play out situations in my mind a lot when I am alone especially if someone has said something that upsets me or if someone ignores me.
Suspected conditions
• Addison's disease is definitely playing a part
• A form or multiple forms of anxiety. The us version fits me where as the uk one doesn't
• A form of depression or manic depression
I do have a list of suspected causes as well but this post is already pretty long.
I hope some of you will/have taken the time to read and I would greatly appreciate any help!

Re: Need help with treatment
Dear Simon,
On the very onset I tell you that I added you to my friends list if you are ok with that.By the way I am also suffering from depression and anxiety and frankly speaking I do not have enough mettle in me to tell you that I can comfort you or anyone else with words.I really feel very upset for your condition,though I do not know you as I think problems bring people together and we all become a family.Please be sure that I read your condition and it is very disturbing. I really hope you come out of your problems and give 'me' some words of hope instead.

Two seasons ago, the National League Central was the best division in baseball. Three teams in the division (Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs) had the three best records in the league. Last season was a different story. The Cubs dominated the division.

The year in sports gave Pittsburgh the passing of a legend and a courageous re-affirming story of life, surprising departures and improbable victories. Here are the top sports stories of 2016.

The Pittsburgh Pirates' 2016 roster was supposed to contain plenty of bright spots.
11/22/2016 - 19:51
Chris Hayes
As much as 80 percent of the Pirates starting rotation could be different next season. Only Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon are locks to return from the 2015 crew. With three spots potentially open, the Pirates could look to add veterans through waivers, free agency and trades. Here are some potential in-house solutions.

With the season behind them, it's time to look back on the Pirates' best 10 wins of 2016.

A win on the final day of the season was not enough for the St. Louis Cardinals, who beat the Pirates 10-4 but missed the playoffs for the first time since 2010.

Jedd Gyorko connected for a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, Matt Holliday provided another boost off the bench and the St. Louis Cardinals pushed the playoff race to the final day of the regular season, beating Pittsburgh 4-3.
