FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. —
A third U.S.-based cruise ship with an outbreak of stomach illness has sailed again after being decontaminated in South Florida.
The vessel Ruby Princess sailed Sunday from Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades. It was one of three cruise ships that docked in Florida and Louisiana over the weekend with outbreaks of norovirus.
Port Everglades spokeswoman Ellen Kennedy told the South Florida Sun Sentinel (http://sunsent.nl/zJG6rk) that the Ruby Princess was cleaned Sunday and departed. Passengers were informed of the virus and cleanup as they waited to board.
Norovirus causes upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea.
Princess Cruise Lines operates the ship and another, the Crown Princess, that sailed from Fort Lauderdale after cleaning.
Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Sea left New Orleans a couple of hours late Saturday because of the same illness.

Arizona company creates new, innovative organizer system for homes with ‘wasted’ corners in kitchens and countertops.
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) February 01, 2012
Local Arizona company, Shelves that Slide, announced Friday the production of the new Premier Blind Corner organization system for kitchens.
The Premier Corner system works to provide space in kitchens with ‘wasted’ corners. In some kitchens, counter space will end abruptly, making it difficult to utilize the entire space. This blind corner system alleviates the empty space and gives homeowners a choice for more shelving space.
“Home owners that suffer from unfilled corners, where the counter ends without reaching the wall, now have a solution for the wasted space,” said Steve Edling, founder and owner of Shelves that Slide. “This Premier Blind Corner system continues the counter space while also offering extra shelving units.”
Consisting of hardware adaptable to the left or right, this blind corner system is designed with slide and pivot fixtures, as well as heavy gauge chrome plated baskets. The slide and pivot fixtures allow the extended counter space to reach either side, while the baskets provide extra shelving.
Shelves that Slide develops and creates the pullout kitchen appliances in a showroom in Anthem, Arizona. The company designs products that can be used to help organize the kitchen, bathroom, garage and office.
About Shelves that Slide:
Shelves that Slide has been making custom pullout kitchen shelving for almost 20 years. Their products ease the lives of customers every day. The full line of products offered by Shelves that Slide can be found at http://www.shelvesthatslide.com. For contact information, please visit http://www.shelvesthatslide.com/about.htm.

Premier Blind Corner System From Shelves that Slide
The owner of a custom-built colonial house at 4 Jennings Court
in the Hunt Club section of Westport designed a unique
configuration. It blends a buttercream yellow colonial façade
visible from street level with a rear that gives a nod to a
Caribbean lifestyle with as much glass as architecturally
possible.
Continuing the ocean theme, there is a Caribbean-inspired,
limestone, heated pool with a hot tub in the backyard of the
level, 1.1-acre property. Garden lovers and those who jealously
protect their privacy will also appreciate the private patio
and garden and outdoor shower, which can be accessed from one
of the two master baths; there are his and hers.
His bath also features a foot wash/dog shower, a redwood sauna,
extra deep soaking tub, marble shower with several heads,
including a rain shower head, and a coffee bar. Her shower has
a crystal chandelier, intricate marble and glass
custom-designed shower with water jet cut stone inlay, a bidet
and instant hot and purified water system.
There are two offices, front and rear staircases, and two
laundry rooms including one with a built-in ironing board.
Those are far from the only unique features of this
extraordinary house, which was built in 2007 with much
attention to detail, from the dramatic entrance foyer that
includes a Jerusalem pink and polished white limestone floor
with glass mosaic inlay to the special order door levers with
intricate designs that the owner refers to as "house jewelry."
There are rounded rooms, arched entryways and scalloped
windows, all of which contribute to the graceful flow of this
7,072-square-foot house. Even the granite counter top on the
center island in the gourmet kitchen has beveled edges.
"It's functionally beautiful. It's fancy, but it's livable. It
was designed so every space is useful. Everything is
practical," said owner
Laurie Weiser, who helped design the house and served as
the co-general contractor. "This is the biggest art project
I'll ever have in my life," she said.
She also designed the house to be relatively maintenance free.
"It's a dream house," Weiser said.
Several rooms, including the kitchen, year-round sunroom,
master bedroom and her master bath and her office, have radiant
heated floors (water, not electric). In fact, the owner joked
that there are two zones in the house: Arctic and Caribbean.
The kitchen has double sided cabinets on one wall between the
kitchen and dining room, cabinets that start at counter level
for easy reach, and a gas Wolf range top with a built-in down
draft fan system.
On the second floor, there are four bedrooms, including two
that share a bath and a long Trex deck/balcony.
In addition to the main living space there is potential for
more, if needed, in the spacious unfinished walk-up attic and
full, unfinished basement. The basement alone has 3,500 square
feet of space.
The house has oil heat, but it is also connected to the gas
line on the street, and gas fuels the home's range top in the
kitchen, the pool, grill and two fireplaces.
There are more amenities and details in this house that are
worth seeing and there is an opportunity to see then during an
Open House on Sunday, Jan. 29, 1-4 p.m.

house, call
