Why Royal Caribbean Should Be Considered for Your Next Trip
0Planning a cruise trip vacation and you aren’t sure which cruise line to go with? How about looking into a trip with Royal Caribbean? There are many reasons why you want to consider them: Customer service is a huge deal. They want to ensure that you are having a great time and that you’re needs are taken care of. I was recently on Serenade of the Seas and they had all employees ensure that I was taken care of from day one. Everywhere you went there were informative helpful employees that ensured you were taken care of. If you had a question that the person you asked could not answer, they would research the question and will definitely get back to you.
Dining was terrific. There are always multiple venues to choose from when you are hungry. The Windjammer Cafe is open for most of the day, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You also get options such as Seaview Cafe, Solarium bar, Chops Grille, Portofino, and room service. There is a small fee for dining at Chops Grille, Portofino, and ordering during late hours of room service. You can avoid getting charges by heading out to Seaview Cafe. On some nights, they were open till 5am. The Reflections dining room was superb. They had impeccable service and the menu varied nightly. You experienced 5 star dining each night.
Another reason to choose Royal Caribbean is how tidy they keep their ship. I have never seen the ship in disarray. There is always someone cleaning up, sweeping, dusting, wiping, or disinfecting the community areas of the ship. The crew at Serenade of the Seas keeps the ship in tip top shape making it a pleasant experience because you aren’t worried about the filth.
Royal Caribbean offers excellent service. Your satisfaction really is their number one priority. Dining options are superb. You can have a meal or snack anytime of the day and the selection seems endless. Cleanliness is very important to the crew and staff of Serenade of the Seas. The ship was in great condition because of the great maintenance and upkeep of the crew. Look into cruising with Royal Caribbean and you’d be impressed.

Htc – Who are They?
0The HTC Corp is headquartered in Taiwan (23 Xinghua Rd. , Taoyuan 330, Taiwan, R. O. C. ) and was founded in 1997 by a dynamic woman, Cher Wang who is officiating as the Chairperson of the Company. The dream to be the uncontested leader in operator-branded devices has been realized with the launch of the HTC Touch Diamond, which is one of the most sophisticated and advanced gadgets available on the market today.
The HTC has already forged alliances with the top-most operators in the world including 5 in Europe, 4 in USA and a number of Asian operators as well. The company had been working with leading OEM partners marketing their products until 2006, when it brought out products under its own brand. A huge array of products have arrived on the market in the past two years, each one a masterpiece of its own class. The HTC Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch Cruise, Touch Dual are the series that use touch-screen technology. Each one of these phones should actually carry a warning with them: ‘highly addictive’. They are so amazingly wonderful to use, that you definitely you do not feel like to leave it from your hand.
There are four ranges of products that the HTC has brought out: (1) the Touch phone, (2) the PDA, (3) the Smartphone and (4) the mobile computer. Each one of these products is a few steps ahead of their competition. This is one of the key factors that have established this Taiwan company as one the fastest growing in the world. The Business Week ranked it as Number 3 in its listing in 2006 and Number 2 in its list of 2007 naming it as the “best performing technological company in Asia”.
The HTC Company’s excellent reputation as an innovator is based on solid proof. The HTC Touch Diamond is not the only mind-blowing innovation they have brought out in the market; it is perhaps the most attractive, addictive or amazing. Here are some of the ‘first-time in the world’ innovations the company has given to the world almost every year:
1. 1999 – the first color palm-sized PC
2. 2000 – first Microsoft pocket PC
3. 2002 – first wireless Microsoft wireless PC
4. 2002 – first Microsoft Smartphone
5. 2004 – first Microsoft music phone
6. 2005 – first Microsoft 3G phone with huge 2. 8″ TFT screen
7. 2005 – first Microsoft Windows 5. 0 platform mobile phone
8. 2006 – first Microsoft Windows mobile platform tri-band UMTS 3G device
9. 2006 – first Microsoft Windows 5. 0 Smartphone
10. 2007 – first intuitive touch screen with technology for fingertips

Looking back, each of the above is a ground breaking factors that has earned HTC a special niche in the annals of mobile technology. The HTC Touch Diamond uses a special technology by the name of TouchFlo which makes the use of the mobile phone not only extremely easy, but also extremely easy. This automation of the mobile phone makes you feel that the HTC Touch Diamond talks with you because it listens to your fingers as it would listen to your words. Once you use this phone, it would be almost impossible to you to use a regular phone. The huge screen, the ultra-cool technology and the beauty of the mobile phone would make you a permanent fan.

Smashing Pumpkins: Galapogos
25
Another fan-made video for the Pumpkins, this time for the song “Galapogos”. I used footage from the brilliant Russian director Sergie Eisenstein’s “Que Viva Mexico”, and unfinished 1932 movie that I think fits the song (yes, I am aware that Mexico and the Galapogos Islands are two different places; I’m going for a mood, not necessarily geographical accuracy). Enjoy. :) Note: I do not own the Smashing Pumpkins, Sergei Eisenstein, this song, “Que Viva Mexico”, or anything else you see here. . . I just edited it.
