I don't know what to call this(4 Deck Tourney) - Video
Theres no doubt Royal Princess is a good-looking ship. Its decor, contemporary and with generous use of marble and glass, stops just the right side of bling. Art deco flourishes and lacquered panelling add a classic cruise-liner feel. Cabins appear understated to the point of bland but I soon came to appreciate the thoughtful design features: light restful colours, plenty of mirrors, ample storage and heavy curtains. A female passenger in the programme praises the lighting around the mirror.
The showpiece of Royal is the three-floor atrium (the lines largest), a voluptuous swirl of spiral staircases and curved balconies. What sets it apart, explains Rai Calouri, senior vice president for operations, is the piazza concept: a multi-functional hub of bars, cafes and boutiques configured around a marble floor for dancing and entertainment.
In the television series we see popular entertainer George Evans rarely seen without a coterie of sexagenarian groupies singing on the stairs or at the piano, and people hanging over balconies to watch. Evans, with his coiffed hair and silver bow-tie, and who has been crooning around the Caribbean for five years told me: Entertainers need love. I go out there every night with the goal of having everyone in the room fall in love with me.
I need that; I actually need that.
I found it impossible to pass the atrium without loitering and indulging in a snack a gelato, a cup of tea (a tea sommelier can advise on the 50 different varieties) or a shot of iced vodka. Mind you, getting to the atrium was not always easy.
Like new girl Kelly Woods, 21, one of the spas hairdressers (who viewers will see tonight seeking comfort from the ships mother hen Liz), I found the ships layout confusing: not all lifts are beside staircases, not all staircases lead to all decks and there is no same-level full-circle promenade deck. I often found myself hitting a blank wall (like Kelly) or walking into the gym heck, how did that happen? when on course for lunch.
The best place for lunch is the Horizon Court and Horizon Bistro, the self-service cafeterias that segue into one another other than the colour scheme I never grasped the differences between them. Astonishingly, Horizon seats 900 plus more on the terrace, a lovely quiet space for breakfast and there were no queues. In the opening episode we saw the executive sous chef and food and beverage director look on anxiously as hundreds of just-boarded, passengers test Horizons capacity.
It copes partly because its a larger space than that found on other Princess ships, and partly (I later found out) because lighter food choices are separated from full meals. Also, drinks are served at table, so theres no waiting as a ditherer chooses between orange or apple juice or fathoms out the machine.
True, the central pool area was packed on sunny sea days, but it was good-humoured crowd. Tiered decks make good use of space and if I wanted to dial down the volume I headed to the adults-only Retreat Pool, with its shaded areas. Princess is big on wow factors; sophisticated rather than sensational.
On Royal you wont find climbing walls and water slides. But you will find a 16-treatment-room spa with vast thermal suite; a massive outdoor movie screen, and gourmet dining options, including the Chefs Table Lumiere (guests are seated at the centre of the restaurant, behind a circular curtain of light) and a Wine Makers Dinner. The latter includes a behind-the-scenes galley experience plus personal service from the executive chef (with a hefty $115/67 price tag).

The U.S. Navy is upgrading 66 of its A/S32P-25 (or "P-25" for short) fire trucks. These compact vehicles are used on aircraft carrier flight and hanger decks. The upgrades include more powerful pumps, engines and other mechanical components. These four wheel firefighting vehicles have seating for two and a main tank with 3,000 liters (750 gallons) of water, plus a tank with 340 liters (86 gallons) of foam plus three portable, 9 kg (20 pound) Halon fire extinguishers (for small electrical fires) and 91 kg (200 pounds) of Halon. The 8.6 ton vehicle also carries hoses (a 2,000 liter per minute vehicle mounted hose and a 400 liter per minute hand held hose) and pumps and the vehicle are diesel powered. The vehicle is 4.9 meters (190 inches) long and the two man crew sits in uncovered seats.
The idea behind the P-25 is to have a fully equipped vehicle that can quickly reach, and put out fires anywhere on the flight or hanger decks. Many of the deck crew are trained to fight fires and know how to use the gear carried by the P-25 (now the P-25A). On large carriers two of these vehicles must be on the flight decks during aircraft operations.
The U.S. Navy is upgrading its P-25As because there seemed no point in trying to develop a replacement vehicle. The P-25 is the result of decades of evolution and experience and the current design is pretty solid. So it was no surprise when China commissioned its first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, in 2012 and one of new items seen on the flight deck were several firefighting vehicles. These looked like clones of the P-25. The Chinese may have built their firefighting vehicles simply by using publically available documents about the P-25 or they might have used technical date stolen electronically via the decade old Chinese Internet based espionage effort. Its hard to tell, and the truth may not be known for a long time.

P-25 Too Good To Be Replaced by James Dunnigan July 18, 2014
Jaguars, such as this one, will be part of the annual Classic Sports Car Show that will be held on lower Main Street on Saturday, July 26. The event will be presented by the Bonneville Austin Healey Club. (Photo courtesy of Jim Revel)
Owners have shown off their Austin Healeys, Jaguars, Porches and other European autos to anyone who comes to see them.
This year, the Bonneville Austin Healey Club will sponsor the sixth Annual Classic Sports Car Show in Park City on Saturday, July 26. The vehicles will be on display from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
There is no charge for the public to come enjoy the cars and talk to the owners, according to Jim Revel, a member of the Bonneville Austin Healey Club.
In addition to Austin Healeys, there will be Jaguars, Porches and a couple of Corvettes, Revel said.
"The organizers are planning on having 60 vehicles entered this year," Revel told The Park Record. "There is still time for anyone to register their car."
Owners of any sports car manufactured before 1994 can enter the show.
"That doesn't sound like too long ago, but when you think about it, it was," Revel said. "So the cars that will be in the show will be at least 20 years old."
The date limit was set because the Austin Healey Club's goal was to get at least 60 cars registered for the show.
"In the past we've had between 30 and 40 cars on display," he said. "We also wanted to see if we can get younger car owners involved."

FALLBROOK Bathroom renovations are second to kitchen renovations on the list of the top remodeling projects to increase home value. The popularity of bathroom renovations and their ability to transform a space has left many homeowners wondering if there are any easy and affordable ways to change the look of their bathrooms.
While "easy" is a relative term, there are ways homeowners willing to make certain concessions can keep the work and cost of a bathroom renovation to a minimum.
Resurface
When possible, covering up what you have in the bathroom is much less expensive and less labor-intensive than tearing out existing fixtures and floors and replacing them anew. Resurfacing can extend from refinishing bathtubs to installing shower liners. Those who have unsightly walls or wallpaper that theyre just not ready to remove may consider using wainscotting to cover a portion of the room or even tiling entire walls.
It is important to note that resurfacing and covering up items in the bathroom should only be reserved for cosmetic fixes. If something needs to be replaced because it is damaged or mildew-covered, then covering it up is only hiding the problem and asking for more work in the long run.
Scale back on materials
One way to save money on a bathroom renovation project is to choose less expensive materials. For example, one may not need to install travertine or marble flooring in a space where less expensive flooring like vinyl is adequate. Advancements in vinyl flooring have enabled this affordable material to mimic the look of more expensive materials at a Advertisement [ Berry-Bell and Hall Mortuary ] fraction of the cost.
When redoing tile on walls and shower enclosures, many domestically-produced tiles rival the looks of more expensive imported alternatives. It is possible to save more by buying tile in bulk and using the remainder in other applications around the house.

Life Church breaks ground near Hailey
City wants plan to meet its standards
By TONY EVANS Express Staff Writer
The Life Church has finally broken ground on construction of an 8,680-square-foot church complex north of Albertsons grocery store in Hailey. The project will be completed sometime next spring, ending an arduous process to make a permanent home for the Life Church congregation.
We are so excited that this project is started, said Life Church Pastor Michael Hendricks. We have waited 17 years."
The churchwhich is being developed in Blaine Countywill have a roof height of 33 feet, and will feature an extensive sanctuary, four classrooms, a kitchen and three offices. The development will have 51 parking spaces and be accessed by a gravel driveway connecting to McKercher Boulevard.
From 1992 to 2011, the Life Church met on Main Street in Hailey, before moving to an old church building on Snowbank Drive in Woodside subdivision to make room for more followers.
We have been running out of room for 10 years, said Hendricks, who gathers an English-speaking congregation of 120 people each Sunday, followed by a Spanish-speaking congregation of 60.
The churchs name has changed over the years, from Valley Chapel, to Valley Christian Fellowship, to The Life Church.
We are non-denominational, providing a contemporary feel with foundational principles. We have a lead guitar, keyboard and drummers. We do hymns, but the majority of our music is songs for today, Hendricks said.
