32 ships
#1 in Best Cruises from Los Angeles (tie)
The 690-passenger Azamara Journey attracts travelers who like large-ship amenities and enriching onboard programs (think a guest lecture series, culinary demonstrations and sommelier-led wine tastings) without the crowds. Plus, with 408 crew members on board, Journey offers a higher level of personalization than a megaship. While the recently refurbished staterooms are appointed with minibars, flat-screen TVs and new decor, suites include extras such as 240 free internet minutes and complimentary seating in the ship's specialty dining restaurants.
Cruisers have plenty of food options to choose from, including three causal eateries, a main dining room and two specialty restaurants – all of which recent cruisers praise. The ship also offers a complimentary cultural immersion program on sailings of seven or more nights (known as AzAmazing Evenings), new entertainment options like live theatre shorts and Broadway entertainment, a spa and a fitness center. Journey was revitalized in early 2016 to include the latest technology and an updated interior design.
Crystal Serenity first set sail in 2003, and it emerges from its most recent multimillion-dollar renovation in November 2018. It now welcomes 980 guests (fewer than its previous 1,070-passenger capacity), with the aim of enhancing the ship's personalized service and atmosphere. Serenity also features better technology (including free unlimited Wi-Fi) and exciting new food options. New dining choices include the Asian-inspired Silk Kitchen and Bar, the Brazilian-style Marketplace and Churrascaria and a new centrally located main restaurant.
The Serenity's updates continue into its cabins, with the addition of 36 new Penthouses and two new Penthouse Suites. All cabins come outfitted with flat-screen TVs, mini fridges and bathrooms with tubs. Guests staying in Penthouse category rooms have access to extras like Jacuzzis, nightly hors' d'oeuvres and personal butler service.
Crystal has long garnered high marks from cruisers and critics for its tailored onboard experience. Guests can enjoy a feng shui-inspired spa, multiple bars and lounges and a casino. Additional onboard offerings include shopping boutiques, a sports deck with a driving range and the Computer University@Sea. As of the 2018 redesign, a number of the ship's public spaces, including Palm Court and the Stardust Club, feature new finishes, carpeting and seating areas.
For 2018-19, Crystal Serenity cruises to destinations across the world, such as ports in the Caribbean, the Atlantic Crossing, the U.S. West Coast, Northern Europe, Hawaii and the Mediterranean. Its departure ports include Miami, Lisbon, Los Angeles and more.
Regent Seven Seas Explorer debuted in 2016, making it the newest ship in the fleet. It's also the largest, welcoming up to 750 passengers. The ship makes service a top priority, with a nearly 1-to-1 crew-to-guest ratio. According to recent cruisers, the crew was friendly and attentive.
Travelers were even more impressed by the all-suite accommodations, which are some of the largest offered among ocean liners. All 375 suites include spacious balconies, marble bathrooms, walk-in closets, interactive flat-screen TVs and unlimited Wi-Fi.
Another high point: the cuisine. Explorer offers eight dining areas that range from the casual Pool Grill to Asian creations at Pacific Rim. As part of 'Regent Experience,' all specialty dining is included in the cruise fare.
Outside the cabins, guests can spend their days participating in cooking demonstrations, lounging by the pool or relaxing in the library. At night, entertainment options include casino games, cocktail lounges and shows in the Constellation Theater. Complaints about this ship are few and far between, though some reviewers felt the entertainment could be more impressive.
The best perk, according to recent passengers? All shore excursions are included. In 2018-19, Seven Seas Explorer will depart from Miami, Los Angeles and ports in Europe. Cruises sail to destinations in Africa, the Tropics and Panama Canal, Europe, the Mediterranean and South America. Seven Seas Explorer also completes transatlantic journeys during this time period.
When it debuted in 2015, the Viking Star was the fleet's first ocean liner. Welcoming up to 930 passengers, the Viking Star stands outs for its staterooms, which are all outfitted with a veranda. Cabins range from 270-square-foot Veranda Staterooms to the 1,448-square-foot Owner's Suite, which offers a dining area that can seat six, an ocean view dry sauna and a boardroom that seats 12, among other amenities.
Beyond their rooms, passengers will find a spa, several shops, a theater that hosts live performances and lectures, two cinemas for screening movies and two pools, including a glass-backed infinity pool cantilevered off the stern.
There are eight dining options to choose from, all with no additional charge or fee. For fine dining, there's The Restaurant, Manfredi's and The Chef's Table, which touts a multi-course tasting menu with wine pairings. For a more casual atmosphere, passengers can stop at Mamsen's for Norwegian deli-style eats or the Wintergarden for afternoon tea, among others.
In 2018-19, Viking Star sails to destinations in Europe, the Mediterranean, Cuba and more.
#5 in Best Cruises from Los Angeles
The 458-passenger Seabourn Sojourn debuted in June 2010 and features all-suite accommodations. About 90 percent of the suites offer verandas, and all accommodations provide 24-hour room service, flat-screen TVs, bathrooms with dual sinks and a separate living area and bedroom. What's more, cruisers are welcomed with complimentary Champagne upon arrival and can enjoy a fruit basket that's refreshed daily. A suite stewardess is assigned to each cabin to assist with requests as well. Sojourn is virtually identical to its sister ships, Seabourn Odyssey and Seabourn Quest.
Outside the rooms, travelers can gamble at the casino, work up a sweat in the fitness center or relax at the spa. Those interested in soaking up the sun can snag a spot by one of two swimming pools or enjoy one of six hot tubs. Cruisers can also fuel their competitive juices with a round of shuffleboard or golf on the nine-hole putting green. When anchored, vacationers in select destinations can take advantage of the ship's water sports equipment, such as kayaks and paddle boats.
There are four dining venues to choose from on the Seabourn Sojourn, including casual and fine dining options. In the evening, cruisers can enjoy cocktails at one of the bars or dance under the stars. The ship's nearly 1-to-1 crew-to-passenger ratio means cruisers should expect exceptional service.
In 2018-19, Sojourn sails to destinations in Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Africa, Canada, Alaska and more. Itineraries are as short as eight days and as long as 72 days. Soujourn is set to begin cruises to various ports in Cuba, including Havana, in October 2019.
Like its four sister ships, Viking Sun – which began sailing in November 2017 – carries 930 passengers and 550 crew members. One of the ship's highlights is its all-veranda accommodations. Cabins range from 270-square-foot Veranda Staterooms to the 1,448-square-foot Owner's Suite. All accommodations include flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access, stocked minibars and bathrooms with heated floors. Those who choose an upgraded room receive additional perks, such as priority reservations at the spa and specialty restaurants.
Onboard dining options include Manfredi's Italian Restaurant, the internationally focused World Café and the poolside Aquavit Terrace. Guests can also visit the main restaurant for a menu that changes daily.
When it comes to ship activities, guests can receive treatments at the spa, lounge by one of two pools (including an infinity pool on the stern of the ship) or mingle with other passengers in The Viking Living Room. In the evenings, entertainment includes live performances in the theater and movies in one of two cinemas.
In 2018-19, Viking Sun sails to a variety of destinations in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and beyond. New itineraries include ports in Chile, Sydney, Buenos Aires and more.
On the heels of a dramatic 2017 redesign, Crystal Symphony (first launched in 1995) boasts new open seating and dining areas, new Penthouses and Penthouse Suites, high-tech features and reimagined public spaces. The one thing that hasn't changed is the exceptional customer service Crystal is known for; recent travelers noted the crew was warm, attentive and extremely professional.
The ship offers a variety of activities including fitness programs, musical performances and treatments at the feng shui-inspired spa. All accommodations offer ocean views, flat-screen TVs, mini fridges and bathtubs. Those who choose Penthouse category rooms receive additional privileges, like personal butler service.
New dining options include the Waterside dining room, modern Chinese-inspired fare at Silk Kitchen and Bar and a Marketplace and Churrascaria serving casual buffet breakfast and lunch options by day and Brazilian-style delicacies by night.
For 2018-19, Crystal Symphony cruises to destinations across the world, including ports in the Caribbean, New England and Canada, South America and the Far East. Its departure ports include Fort Lauderdale, Florida, New York, New Orleans and more.
Launched in 2010 and most recently updated in 2015, the 2,852-passenger Eclipse is one of Celebrity's largest vessels. About 85 percent of Eclipse's accommodations include verandas, and those who splurge on suites and Aqua Class staterooms receive butler service and access to exclusive specialty dining. All cabins offer interactive flat-screen TVs and 24-hour room service.
As far as activities go, travelers can stay active at the Lawn Club, lounge by three pools, participate in cooking classes and shop at a variety of upscale boutiques. In the evenings, cruisers can enjoy theme parties, comedy acts and Broadway-style shows. Meanwhile, kids programming (geared toward guests ages 3 to 17) includes karaoke, Xbox consoles and organized games.
When it comes to dining, past cruisers praised the variety of casual and formal choices. The ship offers 11 eateries, including five specialty venues where reservations are required and additional charges apply. From the room stewards to the restaurant servers, Celebrity Eclipse's staff was also a point of praise among recent guests.
In 2018-19, Celebrity Eclipse offers itineraries in Alaska, Hawaii, the coastal Pacific (including ports in San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver), Europe and South America.
Oceania Regatta was built in 1998 and last overhauled in 2014. Passengers in Veranda Staterooms and Suites will enjoy verandas and spaces ranging from 216 to 1,000 square feet, while Inside and Ocean View cabins are smaller. No matter which you choose, all staterooms are equipped with minibars, flat-screen TVs and 24-hour room service.
The 684 passengers on board will receive Oceania's signature service, with 400 crew members catering to guests' needs. Recent cruisers noted they rarely encountered crowds in the ship's public areas. The atmosphere aboard Regatta is decidedly adult, as the ship caters to older, affluent cruisers.
Entertainment varies from nightly musical performances to table games at the casino. Dining is also diverse: Regatta offers five venues ranging from the formal dining room to a casual grill. Some recent passengers felt that for the price, the ship could use a facelift. It is set to receive just that in the fall of 2019.
In 2018-19, Regatta sails to destinations in Alaska, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean and ports in the South Pacific, like Tahiti.
Similar to its sister ships, Seven Seas Navigator and Seven Seas Voyager, the 698-passenger Seven Seas Mariner makes service a top priority with a 1-to-1 crew-to-guest ratio.
Refurbished in 2018 (and debuted in 2001), the Mariner features new decor and finishings throughout, a completely remodeled library in a new location and a revamped pool deck with an open layout and new tile and teak surfaces. The Canyon Ranch Spa received a new design with light wood accents and pebble-stone tiles, while the fitness and aerobics center offers new equipment. Onboard activities include theatrical productions, casino games and sipping cocktails in one of five lounge areas.
Across the ship, there are seven eateries total. All have been stylishly redesigned, including the Prime 7 steakhouse and the flagship Compass Rose restaurant. The Signatures restaurant was replaced with Chartreuse, a guest favorite aboard other Regent ships that highlights modern French cuisine. During the day, guests can enjoy the expanded lunch offerings at the outdoor Pool Grill or snack at the informal Coffee Connection. As with all Regent Seven Seas ships, specialty dining and shore excursions are included in the cruise fare.
Best of all, the all-suite accommodations have received new beds with plush leather headboards, sitting areas and new artwork. All cabins are outfitted with welcome bottles of Champagne, private balconies, walk-in closets and marble bathrooms.
In 2018-19, Seven Seas Mariner will mostly sail through the Pacific Northwest, between Vancouver, Canada, and Anchorage, Alaska. Additionally, one sailing departs from Vancouver and ends in Los Angeles.


When the hot weather sets in, the most important thing in your house will be the air conditioning system. It is not a great habit to be forgetting about the system until summer when you really need it. Remember that during the hot season there will be a lot of people who want their systems to be repaired and to avoid the price hikes due to increased demand you need to have such issues sorted out early in time. You need to be consistent in seeking services of maintenance for your air conditioning system to make sure you do not have to carry out extensive repairs. Your energy bill will go up if you are using an AC that has not been maintained for a while. You can cut your energy bill by half if you make sure your air conditioner is working well. Energy bills can eat into your check if you are not careful and you should not be working hard only to take your check to the utility companies. These systems are usually huge and it takes a lot of energy for the less efficient ones to keep the interior temperatures at the desired range.
If there is a problem with the system, the technician who handles the maintenance will be able to let you know how you can deal with that. When it comes to repair work, you are likely to pay more if the problem is extensive but if you let the professionals deal with it when it is just new, you will pay very low rates. It is good to invest in your home if you want to resell at higher prices in the future and if you install an AC you will be doing exactly that. Even so, it does not mean you have to make a new purchase on a regular basis. To accumulate wealth, you have to invest your money or put it in the bank and learn to leave it there which is why you should not be making withdrawals for AC systems frequently. You can use the same AC system for years without the need to make a new purchase if you are particular and precise when it comes to maintenance sessions.

Kell Brook says his team is close to agreeing a meeting with Brandon Rios, but claims he would still love to face Floyd Mayweather.
IBF welterweight titleholder Brook, who was stabbed in the leg whilst holidaying in Tenerife last year, returned to the ring three months ago with a straightforward win over Jo Jo Dan and provided a second successful defence of his title on 30 May against Frankie Gavin at London's O2 Arena.
Mayweather, meanwhile, cruised to a unanimous decision victory in the so-called 'Fight of the Century' with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas last time out and has one more scheduled bout remaining on a contract with Showtime before his likely retirement from the sport.
While a number of the division's biggest names are understandably eager to provide opposition for that farewell fight, the five-division world champion looks set to aim his sights elsewhere with Haitian-born American Andre Berto said to be on a list of prospective candidates alongside Karim Mayfield.
Former WBA lightweight champion Rios should provide a tougher test for Brook, with the Sheffield native confirming that the contest looks set to take place in London on 12 September – the same date as Mayweather is due to fight next.
"Yeah we're very close to making that (Rios) fight happen now and it looks like it's going to be September 12," he told Sky Sports. "There's also another fighter who wants to fight on that day and that's Floyd Mayweather Jr. If he wants to compete at welterweight and unify the division then it's a natural choice to fight me.
"He's boxed at a really high level against Manny Pacquiao but is now talking about other names that bring nothing to the table. Me, I'm unbeaten, I bring a world title to the table and I believe I can beat Floyd. You never know with Mayweather. He's got the rest of the titles and I've got the IBF title so it makes sense. I'm unbeaten and I think it'd be a massive fight, Britain against America. I think it's a big, big fight.
"If I were him, I'd keep well away from me. I am hungry and I want to take that zero and turn it into a one. People would really be excited about that fight. There's me and Keith Thurman that can cause Mayweather problems. I'd love to take the task of beating Floyd Mayweather. I'm going to be ready for September 12 whether it's Rios or Mayweather. It's looking like it'll be the O2 in London. It's a fantastic arena and I got a fantastic reception there last time."
Amir Khan, another welterweight desperate to secure a lucrative fight with Mayweather, was touted as a potential future opponent for Brook after the latter threw down the gauntlet immediately after making light work of Dan.
Rather than agree to face Brook, however, the Olympic silver medalist instead finalised negotiations to take on Chris Algieri in Brooklyn. Khan won that match before reaffirming his desire to battle Mayweather by pointing to his status as the WBC's number one challenger.


This coming Sunday marks the first anniversary of my father's death, and I will mark it by visiting the aircraft carrier that bears his name, USS Ronald Reagan. At 8:00 a.m., with Captain Jim Symonds and the crew, I will lay a wreath in honor of my dad.
As I get ready for that ceremony I think back over the past year and what I've learned as I traveled all across America on speaking engagements to different organizations and listened to thousands and thousands of my fellow Americans express their love and admiration for Ronald Reagan.
As they shared with me their favorite Ronald Reagan stories or their favorite Ronald Reagan moments, I began to understand the reason why those vast crowds took the time last year to stand outside for hours upon hours just to be able to walk past my father's casket for a brief moment, whether it was at the Ronald Reagan Library at Simi Valley, Calif., or back in Washington at the Rotunda where he lay in state.
I have been able to spend time with Mikhail Gorbachev, who sat behind my daughter Ashley and my son Cameron at my dad's funeral in the National Cathedral. I spent moments with Lady Margaret Thatcher, my dad's staunch Cold War ally, and spoke with her about the accomplishments of the 1980s, when the two of them faced down an aggressive Soviet Union as it had never been faced down before.
I was pleased to hear that both of them also fondly recalled their own favorite Ronald Reagan stories and memories, just as had all of those Americans I've met over the past year.
To be able to hear all of these things is what has given me strength and helped me to get through this first year in my life that I haven't been able to go up to his home and spend time with my dad. But the fact that I can no longer be with him at his home does not mean that I haven't been able to visit him. I can visit him by going to the Ronald Reagan Library and standing by his burial site. I feel that I can be with him there.
I believe that I also visit with him when I see the twinkle in people's eyes that I always saw in his eyes, and to savor their hugs that remind me of the times when I hugged my dad and he hugged me. I speak about those hugs as I travel around the nation, and I'm overjoyed when people come up to me afterwards and reach out to hug me.
All this has empowered me to be out as much as I can to learn more about my father's impact on America, to learn more about this great nation, and in the process, learn more about myself.
The other day I heard historian Douglas Brinkley speak about my dad's speech at Pont du Hoc on the 40th anniversary of D-Day -- the speech about the heroic 'Boys of Pont du Hoc,' the handful of courageous Rangers who did the impossible on D-Day.
With tears glistening in his eye, Ronald Reagan spoke the words that Douglas Brinkley said sparked a resurgence of patriotism that still burns in the hearts of Americans today.
It is memories such as that which I find lingering in the hearts of my fellow Americans as I travel across the nation, and I cherish learning anew that people still love my father because they know how much he loved them.

Serious injury lawyers at Irwin Mitchell who act for victims and families left devastated by the consequences of drug driving have welcomed news that new legislation is to be introduced to tackle the issue.
Expected to be announced in the Queen's Speech, the law would mean that people found guilty of driving while under the influence of drugs could face a fine, a driving ban of a minimum of a year as well as up to six months in prison.
The new legislation, which will be backed by the introduction of screening devices, would also mean that police would no longer need to prove impairment of driving by drugs for a prosecution to be brought.
It is expected that the new testing systems will be approved by the Home Office in the near future.
Irwin Mitchell's specialist serious injury team acts for victims seriously injured in road traffic collisions involving drug drivers, helping them to secure funds for vital rehabilitation and care services. They also represent the families of those who have been killed in such incidents.
Jane Horton, a Partner at the firm's Leeds office who specialises in such cases, said: "Driving under the influence of drugs has been an important issue in the UK for some time and this announcement looks set to be the first positive step towards tackling this worrying issue.
"Through our work we have seen the shocking consequences that such actions can have on so many lives, leaving many victims with long-term injuries that they will never fully recover from. Because of this, it seems shocking that it has taken until now for the dangers of drug driving to be fully recognised by law.
"Drug-driving can be as dangerous as drink-driving, so we hope that any new legislation will demonstrate this fully and be proportionate to the issue.

'stupid' contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and tuneful melodies. Also, the likable tune possesses luxurious instrumentation scented with a commercial pop aroma. The release of "stupid" comes with the news that Tate McRae's upcoming debut EP, entitled, "all the things i've never said", will be released on January 24, 2020.

The town ordinances are laws or rulings that provide game play advantages that range from discounts to extending the store hours. To enact your preferred town ordinances, go to the Town Hall, sit at the mayor's desk, and tap the Ordinance section.
The townsfolk will help keep your town more beautiful by getting rid of weeds and helping with gardening. They will not do all of the work, but only some.
By enacting this ordinance you will get discounts on the various items in the General Store, as well as home upgrades at the Bank.
When you enact this ordinance, the store will carry a larger inventory of items for you to select from. The larger inventory will arrive at the store beginning the next day.
This ordinance gives you a discount on the town features that you can purchase from your desk in Town Hall.
These ordinances extend the hours of the General Store, Bank, and the Clothing Boutique (once it's unlocked). The Early Bird ordinance changes the opening time of the stores to 5 AM, while the Night Owl ordinance causes the stores to stay open until 1 AM. NOTE: These ordinances can't both be active at the same time, so choose carefully.


Yum cha trolleys parading chicken-liver parfait in place of chicken feet is just another example of Carlton's recent culinary evolution.
"There was nothing happening here for ages and then, over six months, we got Heartattack & Vine and Milk the Cow – and there's Town Mouse nearby, too. Carlton's become a dining destination," says Darran Smith, owner of the new and improved Astor restaurant alongside wife, Ilona Phyland.
Smith moved from Sydney after managing Icebergs for four years. Before that, he'd been in fine dining since he was 18, decked out in a white jacket serving Cindy Crawford at the Sheraton Mirage in Port Douglas. The Astor came up by chance about a year after the move.
He hadn't planned on changing the space or Percy's Bar and Bistro next door too much, but after a few meetings with architect Thomas Jacobsen, he back flipped. The space is divided into The Astor (a casual, 40-seat front bar with orange banquettes, brown tiles and a snack menu featuring three fancied-up hotdogs) and The Roving Marrow (a slick, 50-seater dining room in dark timber and contemporary lighting). The latter is where the yum cha happens.
New Zealand chef Hayden McMillan sends out two custom-designed trolleys. The first displays his take on a raw bar, with garnished oysters, pickled clams and ferments that have been months in the making. The second is loaded with rotating snacks and might include anything from spanner crab and smoked dashi soup to duck ham with hazelnuts. A la carte, there's a sample of traditional yum cha, a handful of seasonal mains and fruit-driven desserts.
"Instead of going out for dinner and spending $60 a head on an entrée, main and dessert, people can come in and have more of an experience for the same price," says McMillan.


Firefighters made great progress Sunday despite hot, dry weather and strong winds in the morning.
The number of firefighters now is at 677, down from some 900 earlier.
Full containment still is projected for Tuesday.
In a positive sign, there will be no more daily updates from the front.
Anaheim Fire & Rescue will continue to provide updates periodically as warranted.
You can check Anaheim Fire & Rescue on Twitter.
This marks a turning point in Canyon Fire 2. Firefighters will continue to work the fire area until full containment.
Our sincerest sympathies go out to those who saw homes destroyed or damaged and wish them the best as they continue the recovery process.
A community assistance with information on recovery services will be open from 9 a.m. to noon on Monday at the East Anaheim Gymnasium at 8165 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road.

That continues this morning with an expected peak in winds. Given conditions, things are going relatively well.
We will provide updates as we get them, but major incident updates with containment and acreage are going to once daily in the early evening, rather than two daily as we've had for the past week.
We thank all of you for your vigilance and ask that you continue to watch for updates through the morning and later today.
You may continue to see smoke in the fire areas as firefighters battle hot spots and flare-ups.
Continue to check Anaheim Fire & Rescue on Twitter for the latest, best information.

Damage inspection throughout the fire area is now done. The total count is now 25 structures destroyed and 53 damaged.
Containment remains at 70 percent, unchanged overnight. Acreage also holds at 9,217.
More than 1,000 firefighters continue to work the fire, focused on strengthening remaining containment lines.
The containment number reflects a line around the fire that keeps it from spreading and allows firefighters to target fire within that perimeter.
Full containment is projected for Tuesday with all eyes on Santa Ana wind conditions Saturday and Sunday.
There are no new threats to neighborhoods. But we urge everyone to monitor the situation.
Starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, the forecast calls for Santa Ana winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour and gusts of 35 miles per hour. Winds are always higher and more extreme in wildland canyons.
It will also be hot and very dry.
This is a shift from the favorable firefighting weather we saw the past few days.
Please know firefighters have prepared for this shift and have factored into containment efforts.
Should we see renewed neighborhood threats, you will see urgent messages from us on social media up to emergency automated phone calls and police, fire and helicopters in your neighborhood with evacuation orders.
Meanwhile, you will also continue to see fire crews, police and public works officials throughout fire-area neighborhoods. This is part of the normal post-evacuation process.
Again, there is no immediate threat now. But it is always good to know what to do should conditions change.
Containment remains at 65 percent and acreage at 9,217, unchanged from overnight.
Full containment now is projected for Tuesday, versus an earlier estimate of Saturday. The extended projection factors in changing weather this weekend.

Acreage held steady at 9,217.

Currently, there is no immediate threats to neighborhoods from Canyon Fire 2.
But we will be watching weather and the risk of rekindling or flare-ups from hot, dry and windy weather this weekend.
For those who live in canyons, and everyone in general, it is always good to have a family emergency plan in place so you know what to do when disaster happens.
Part of that plan should include monitoring weather and reliable sources such as Twitter.com/AnaheimFire for critical information.
We urge you to do so as we head into the weekend and a shift in the weather.
We are awaiting an update on the fire around 7 p.m. and will share on Twitter.com/AnaheimFire and Twitter.com/City_of_Anaheim.
We are hoping for progress on containment with favorable weather today.

In Anaheim, a fire-related road closure remains along Santa Ana Canyon Road from from Woodcreek Road to Gypsum Canyon.

Check Customer Service Training Adherence: Encouraging Customers?
The Fashion Industry is built on trends. And dreams. Dreams are important because they are embodiments of our expectations. And expectations, as we know, are opportunities in the world of customer service, opportunities to fulfil those expectations and validate a customer's choices. Companies train their staff in customer service, but it is important to check customer service training adherence; are your staff actually implementing the training they've been given to achieve the store goals? As we say, the frontline impacts the bottom-line.
Humans are sensory creatures, we enjoy tactile contact with items. As a result allowing a tactile experience with products is vital to making a sale. Encouraging customers to 'try' products, particularly in the Fashion Industry, helps them see what it might be like to live with the product they're thinking of purchasing.
The Global Fashion Benchmark Report conducted in 2015/2016 reveals that 77% of fashion shoppers, in particular, want staff to encourage them to try a product. Knowing this, many companies should focus their training on this aspect of the fashion shopping experience, 77% is not a small number, after all. This sort of training, coupled with an emphasis on product knowledge, will definitely impact sales.

Companies train their staff in customer service, but it is important to check customer service training adherence; are your staff actually implementing the training they've been given to achieve the store goals? As we say, the frontline impacts the bottom-line.
The Global Fashion Benchmark Report conducted in 2015/2016 reveals that 77% of fashion shoppers in particular want staff to encourage them to try a product. Knowing this, many companies should focus their training on this aspect of the fashion shopping experience, 77% is not a small number, after all. This sort of training, coupled with an emphasis on product knowledge, will definitely impact sales.
Training is all well and good, making sure that every new staff member knows that it's important to know their products and to encourage customers to trial a product is very important. But how do we know that it's working? Internal sales numbers should positively reflect a good training program, but it's always a good idea to check customer service training adherence – is it all stores that are sticking to the guidelines, or just a few, exceptional employees?
We can see from the Benchmark study that, depending on the Fashion Industry segment, some cities are well ahead of others. One might wonder why Melbourne and Milan are so dismal at encouraging customers to try products on; is it a cultural thing? Is the training focussed elsewhere? Fashion outlets in those cities might do well to check customer service training adherence to test if there is something they should be doing to improve on their global standing. This isn't just important for their own sales numbers, but from a competitive standpoint – if your competition looked at the data that yielded these results in Melbourne, they might just do something about it before you do. Frontline, bottom-line, etc.

Student Work in CentreTerm 2018
Student Video Games
Team Senseless Violence
January 19, 2018 January 23, 2018 leland.gray
As we finish our last full week of Centreterm, I pause to reflect on how great it was working with this group of students. Prior to this project, I have had mixed feelings about group projects. Most good, but a few bad reservations. Working with this group was a great experience that I will cherish for my duration at Centre. On the first day of meeting with our group, we were struggling to find commonalities. One thing we had in common was that we like video games. We even didn't share any favorite video games. This is what made the chemistry of Team Senseless Violence so good. Every member in Team Senseless Violence had a different specialty. Due to our diverse backgrounds and our different likes, we were able to be a multifaceted and dynamic group. On the second day of class, we added Mackenzie to Team Senseless Violence. She helped to further diversify the group, and support our team-like mentality.
At the beginning of the term, it felt like we discussed every group of people to do for our project. We discussed everything from the ancient Greeks to the Cold War Americans. It was only a few days into research when we decided to do a project on the 'Wild West.' Retrospectively this was the best possible option for the group. We were able to brainstorm for a day or two before we made any major decisions. Our first major decision for the video game was to make one of our main characters the notorious Billy the Kid. We thought that this would help us best convey a historical video game, because there were so many primary and secondary sources on Billy the Kid. After we decided on Billy the Kid, we believed that it would be interesting to entertain the possibility of more than one main character. This led us to discussions about how it could help us to portray a more comprehensive landscape of the 'Wild West.'
After we were married to the idea of having multiple characters, we decided to include two more characters in addition to Billy the Kid. To create a deeper plot, we decided to add a lawman. This lawman is a manifestation of secondary sources on Pat Garrett. We wanted to take a few artistic liberties with the creation of Pat Garrett, so we decided to rename him Jameson. Throughout our video game, we portray actual stories about both Garett and Billy the Kid. These stories are from primary sources like wanted posters, but mostly from secondary sources. Our final character is the glue for our story. We decided to make the last character a saloon 'dance worker.' This character is completely fabricated.She was a creation of our group. We tried to use different stories about dance workers in the 'Wild West' to influence her. Once we decided to use these three characters, the rest was easy.
The most difficult part of the project, so far, has been deciding our characters and our setting. Once we decided those parts of the video game, the dialogue was easy to write. Mackenzie and I focused on the writing aspect of the project. We would bounce ideas off one another and writing for these characters became effortless, it never felt like homework to me. We could sit down and type dialogue for hours and it would feel like minutes. Tori is currently implementing our dialogue into the video game, with some help from Evan when needed. Evan and Clay focused on primary and secondary sources for the game.
Team Senseless Violence was able to come together with the shared goal of creating a fun, historically accurate video game. It was a pleasure working with these great men and women, and I will truly miss the camaraderie our group shared.

War Thunder and the Realism vs. Gameplay Dilemma
January 5, 2018 evan.whitis
Howdy Y'all,
Our group made a solid amount of progress today. We decided upon the Wild West as our setting and Twine as our software. Overall, the project outlook is bright. However, I wanted to use this blog post to speak on something near and dear to my heart, the free-to-play online multiplayer game War Thunder.
In many ways, Russian developer Gaijin's War Thunder was the game that shifted the flight simulation genre from aviation enthusiasts to more general gamers. Straying away from their niche and highly realistic Il-2 Sturmovik series, Gaijin sought to broaden their player base. War Thunder employs intuitive, easy to learn, hard to master, controls that take advantage of the mouse and keyboard instead of the fabled and largely dead flight-stick peripheral. This control decision, as well as the monetary decision to make it free-to-play, nets War Thunder eleven thousand monthly players on steam. By comparison, the newest Il-2 simulator nets only one hundred and fifty players a month on steam. Therefore, it can be drawn from numbers that stylistic decisions benefit War Thunder as it offers a more fun gameplay experience for more people than the realistic offerings.
Multiplayer is at the core of all the gameplay decisions in War Thunder. Everyone who has seen Top Gun knows that air combat (stylized as "dogfighting") is an extremely intense and high-adrenaline experience. Coupled with the World War Two setting, which many believe was a golden age (for lack of a better term) for air combat, War Thunder allows players to take part in the high-octane dogfights above the Pacific and Europe with little entrance requirement. Being able to choose from the five major powers, with France and Italy having been recently added, gives players a true sense of freedom and creates interesting multiplayer matches. However, this freedom has been a pervasive, core issue that a community that I have been apart of for almost four years has dealt with.
War is never meant to be symmetrical and balanced. Every day, contractors are hard at work designing weapons that are not only better than their opponents but capable of countering them at every turn. This was on display in WW2 as much as any other war. This creates an interesting issue for a multiplayer game which stresses accessibility. For example, German aircraft in the early-war were far superior to their Russian opponents. Another example, Japan was not the production behemoth that the U.S. was and therefore had to stretch early-war fighters into the late war. This is all rectified in the name of balance. German early-war fighters will often face Russian fighters that did not see service until years later. In the case of the Japanese American late-war fighters face aircraft that never left the prototype phase. This allows games to be interesting and for players to feel like they have a chance to affect the outcome of a match regardless of the plane they choose. Obviously, this is not historically accurate and there have been many heated forum debates on the place of historical accuracy in this game. Personally, I am in the camp that historical accuracy can suffer a bit for the overall balance of the game, but there are hardliners that think the game show maintain historical integrity even if balance suffers in the process. It has been a debate for War Thunder players for as long as I can remember playing the game. Gaijin has protected game balance by continuously updating the game and fixing issues that the community raises. Accuracy is also a major part of these updates, they often change aircraft and weapon characteristics so that they better resemble their real-life counterparts. This continued support means that the developers are concerned about not only delivering a fun game but also the burden that they bare as a historical medium.
War Thunder is not the only game that suffers from the historical accuracy dilemma. In fact, most multiplayer war games will struggle with this in some way, shape, or form during development and post-release. What separates games that survive and games that fail is how well they are able to balance this dichotomy. War Thunder is a perfect example of a game that has been able to balance accuracy and fun, and it has been rewarded with a loyal playerbase.

Whilst I'm creating new work, I want to give you an idea of what it is I'll be making. So, I have decided to write a couple of posts on the stationery and other lovely detailed bits and bobs I created for our wedding earlier this year.
Now, to me, the wedding stationery was quite important, as I feel that it gives your guests a taste of what the big day is going to look and feel like. We wanted it to be personal, represent who we are and to also be whimsical; so I was super excited to be creating these. The stationery could simply be the invite itself, but I liked the idea of a 'stationery suite'. This includes the Save Our Date, The Invitation and a Thank You card. Ours also branched out into the Table Plan and Table & Name cards.
Here's a little flavour of what I created for our happy day.
There you have it! I LOVED making all of these elements and I'm really proud of how they all turned out; especially the invitation. It was a labour of love…a little book, jam-packed with all the information our guests needed to know, and more! The 'book' style invite is the direction I'd like Frog & Pencil to take, and I'm planning a separate post on all the goodies the different pages contained; so please do hop on over again soon.
Hello there and welcome to my Frog & Pencil Blog! I'm certainly feeling the 'first post' pressure here but let's give this blog malarkey a whirl!
I'm at the start of an exciting, shiny new venture where I am setting up my own business. Having worked in various fields over the past years, I've always had a niggling feeling that I should put my illustration skills to good use, but I never truly found the right direction to follow.
Cue marriage and 'HUZZAH' I saw the light! I already had the intention to make many of our wedding details and this was reinforced by visiting several wedding fairs; there wasn't much that caught my eye. I was looking for the more quirky, whimsical and personal bits and bobs, nothing too traditional. For me, it's all about the details and after lots of lovely comments and feedback about my wedding stationery, I knew I had something unique.
So here I am, about to build a business on bespoke wedding stationery and other handcrafted loveliness. I'm not going to lie, I'm super excited but I'm bloomin' scared; remembering to write stationery correctly is tough enough! Sometimes though, the thought of it all is so daunting I get a bit dizzy and just don't know where to begin.
I talked this over with a gorgeous friend of mine and she simply said, "Claire, when I find a situation overwhelming, I think to myself, how do you eat an elephant?" And this little phrase has stuck with me, I simply need to tackle each obstacle bit by bit. With this in mind, along with the incredible support from my husband, family and friends I can't wait to get started.
This blog will document my new, creative journey, including all the highs and all the lows. I'll be posting my work, ideas, the admin challenges I'll face with starting a business and will keep you updated on all things Frog & Pencil.
My goal is to be up and running by the end of the year…it's early days but I have nothing to lose. I hope you'll stick around and join me on my elephant adventure.

Sakas In The Movies
August 27, 2014 brandon adamson
Picture a middle aged European guy with a thick foreign accent attempting say "Sex In The Movies" and it would sound something like the title of this review. Let's get right to it shall we?(the review not the sex!)
Veteran pop singer/songwriter and Twitter verified social media megalomaniac Jonathan Sakas came out with a new EP a while back that didn't get the attention that it deserved. Jonathan is known for writing dance songs about his favorite(or least favorite) subjects, sex and sadness. If you think those two things don't go together at all, then you probably haven't had much sex in your life.
The 2nd track on the EP is "I'll Never Ever Let You Go," is weirdly reminiscent of the Taylor Swift hit "We are Never Ever Getting Back Together." It's as if it were the obsessed crazy guy from that song telling his side of the story. Being the misogynist that I am, i'm inclined to take Jonathan's side on this. Bros before hoes and all, but man it's Taylor Swift(one of the only classy people left in pop music ever since Miley Cyrus started sticking her tongue out like Gene Simmons from KISS and nudging down the path of Britney Spears' shaved head era.) As a bonus, "I'll Never Ever Let You Go," actually even includes some LFO style rapping(Rich Cronin RIP.)
summer love that you'd only find in movies
we were cool like the pool
but we were hot like a jacuzzi
My other favorite tune on this EP has got to be the opening song, "Movies." It has a lovely melody and memorable lyrics and is simply a pop gem of of a jam. You can just feel it when it starts to kick in during the chorus, which appears to include a reference to none other than Leo on the Titanic:
It's like we think we're in the movies…
We always know just what to say.
So even though the ship is sinking…
we hang on another day
Basically this music is a lot like the crap they play on the radio, except better and made by a more intelligent person with actual creativity and talent(but minus dancing ability.) So if you enjoy listening to the radio more than I do(not including AM oldies stations or ironically entertaining political talk radio,) you will love Jonathan Sakas' album, 1984.

Bari Life Bariatric Vitamins and Supplements knows that sleep plays a vital role in maintaining good health. Post weight loss surgery, not only do you need to develop a habit of taking daily bariatric vitamins and supplements, you also need to develop healthy sleep habits.
You feel hungry even if you are full. Lack of sleep appears to alter the secretion of cortisol, a hormone that regulates appetite. As a result, if you fail to get a good night's sleep, you may continue to feel hungry despite following your daily diet.
You may be at higher risk for developing diabetes. Lack of sleep interferes with your body's ability to metabolize carbohydrates, which could lead to high levels of blood sugar, prompting the overproduction of insulin.
Take a hot bath or shower – You get sleepy as your body temperature drops. Take a hot bath or shower right before bed and then lie down and let your body temperature get low.
Black it out – Even the smallest amount of light can disturb your sleep. Make sure all lights are off, turn your glowing alarm clock away from sight and turn out the hall light. If you work third shift and sleep during the day, consider purchasing blackout shades for your windows and consider donning a sleep mask to help keep out the light.
Shut it out – The world continues to turn as you sleep. It may be quiet in your house, but outside may be a different story. Turn on a fan or even purchase a machine that produces white noise or nature sounds to help block the intrusive sounds outside your home.
Bari Life Bariatric Vitamins and Supplements knows getting a good night's sleep plays an important role in weight loss. Along with taking your bariatric vitamins and supplements, getting enough exercise and sleep will help you achieve your weight loss goals. And remember, getting a good night's sleep is followed by eating a healthy breakfast – the most important meal of the day!


Yep, I finally did it, the dreaded colonoscopy. I was scared shitless, but just as people told me, it was as easy as falling off a log, and in and out procedure. Everything came out okay, and I've now repooperated.
Of course I don't want to copy him in any way, but I dug through my old family stuff and pulled out some lovely pieces: my grandfather's diaries, a great-aunt's autograph book, letters from my grandmother to my dad when he was in college, etc. Now, it's not easy to tear pages out of these precious relics, and I'm careful about how I do it, but I'm liking the results and the sense of history/mystery they give these tiny objects. Here are the recent cards—not all use the old paper, there's a mix here, but I never can stick to doing just one thing!
