| Is cruising right for you?
My recent cruise aboard the Crown Princess from New York City had a great balance: four sea days and five port days. 2. What about seasickness?
It may have all the amenities of a shoreside resort, but a cruise ship does travel on open water. Your body will register that motion no matter how big the ship is or how well it is stabilized. Therefore, if you experience severe motion sickness on land or on airplanes then cruising may not be for you. .
Lohan Loses Her Leggings — Maybe For Some Scrubs
Finally! A leggingless Lohan. LL returned to the red carpet last week in a hot LBD but this is the first time in a while we have seen her casually dressed without those hideous leggings or tights she has been living in. It's too bad that the one time she ventures away from the security of having her legs covered that she doesn't have any friends to tell her that her ass is hanging out. So sad and yet so typical. Lindsay spent the weekend shopping, lunching and meeting with friends. Her fun routine is about to be interrupted with a trip to the morgue and watching what goes down in an ER as part of her requirements set in her DUI plea agreement. Maybe she was out looking for the appropriate outfit for the occasion. Lots more of Lindsay out and about in LA showing off her legs among other things so read more.
Make it worth the risk, says Manley
I am not convinced that paragraphs cut and pasted from a previous report signifies a pre-defined report.
It could be as simple as certain findings matching the previous report thus the cut and paste. I just know that I am comfortable with the report and it's recommendations. Posted 23/01/08 at 1:51 PM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
Internet Time Warner Cable to Trial Usage-based Billing Scheme for ...
When it comes to high-speed Internet, most people take for granted that their flat monthly fee will provide all the bandwidth needed for endless downloading. Time Warner Cable (TWC), on the other hand, doesn't quite see things that way. Just as Best Buy labeled its bargain-minded customers as "Devil Customers," TWC has its own subset of customers that take the "all you can eat" approach to Internet access. In order to discourage bandwidth gorging, TWC will trial a new billing system patterned after regular household utilities that we all have become familiar with. Like gas, water and electric bills, TWC will charge customers based on their usage instead of a flat fee. The move should help TWC weed out the five percent of its customers which it says horde over fifty percent of total network bandwidth.
Kristy Swanson skates free
Online. "I am thrilled and excited that the charge has been dropped," says Swanson, who has an 8-month-old son with Eisler. "This never should have happened, and our family can move on." Eisler claims he had been separated from his wife, Marcia O'Brien, who was pregnant with their second child, when he started dating Swanson, but O'Brien says Eisler cheated on her. O'Brien claims Swanson attacked her when the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actress accompanied Eisler on a custodial visit with his two sons. Swanson says O'Brien attacked her, but she never filed charges. .
Chris Rock's campaign
There was no question that this is an election season as Chris Rock hit Philadelphia on Tuesday night for the first of three performances at the Academy of Music. He opened the show with his own comedy caucus, detailing the abundant lies that are part and parcel of the process. Then he tore into each of the candidates in turn. McCain: "How you gonna make decisions about the future if you ain't gonna be here?" Clinton: "I think America is ready for a woman president, but does it have to be that woman?" Obama: "He doesn't let his blackness sneak up on you. You hear 'Barack Obama' you expect one of the Commodores to come through." And lest you were worrying, Rock had plenty of ammunition left over for our sitting president.
A glaring double standard
Man talk about your downers.
PS

SciTech Briefs
Radiologists and doctors can now use computerized image analysis to determine the size and construct three-dimensional models of organs such as the liver. Through this interactive method, doctors will be able to mark the areas of interest in the image and let the computer do the rest of the work, which includes measurement of volumes of organs or calculation of change in shape and migration of an organ. For example, the computer can calculate the rate at which a tumor will spread in the case of cancer. The user can feel the virtual organs with the help of a pen-like 3D mouse, which replaces the regular mouse and keyboard in this interactive version. The technology has been a vital factor in breast cancer detection.

Let the talks begin
During his stay in Nicosia, Gambari is scheduled to see also Opposition Disy leader Nicos Anastassiades, House president Demetris Christofias and on the Turkish side, Huseyin Ozurgun, leader of the UBP . Gambari has already visited Ankara and Athens and will be reporting on his mission to the Secretary-General. Mat Bryza The fact Mat Bryza of the US State Department is also planning a trip to the region, next week, shows the determination of the UN and the US to push for a resumption of the Cyprus peace talks at this juncture. The European Union is due to review Turkeys accession process in October, and the Americans are keen to ensure that Cyprus does not pose an obstacle, even though Ankaras uncompromising attitude on the ports issue could probably create a crisis.
Anatomy of an affair raises hue and cry
Rarely ever has a French president made such sustained headlines all over the world as Nicolas Sarkozy.
But with the photogenic model Carla Bruni by Nicolas Sarkozy's side, it comes as no surprise that someone was asking this question.
''I think Sarkozy and Bruni kind of represent the intersection between two very important things: glamour and power. And considering the fact that they are going around, having a relationship, you have sex thrown into the mixture.
''So one of the top five nation's President is actually having an affair with a supermodel, it just doesn't get any more riper than that. I can see why the media would be very interested because most spouses tend to be colourless people.
''They tend to be properly supporting, very in the background, wearing the tailored suit, but not getting in the way.
