Hmmm, the built-in bookshelves in the second bedroom does lend itself to being the office, doesn't it? And since you are both in school currently, it is very important that you two have a comfortable space to study in.
I still would like to see a larger playspace for your daughter, though. The truth is, you don't have enough space for all of the functions that you want, so something will have to give. Have you looked at IKEA stuff yet? I'm not talking about buying anything there, but just that they have a lot of great ideas for multipurposing small spaces. The living room can be set up as more of a playroom, without the need to have just one corner be a play area, if you incorporate a theme of fun and playfulness throughout the whole living room. In other words, a playroom for DD that also happens to have adult seating.
If you need more storage space, consider lining the dining room walls with shelving (square shelving in very dark brown would be very chic). This could be used to store toys, art/craft supplies for DD, and/or dishes, and display more of those photos, and all of it can be done very attractively. I love your dining table set, btw.
Our living room has a train table and a large basket for toys. I also keep a basket of wooden blocks under the futon, along with a potty chair. In the dinning room, DS has his own small book shelf which holds books, craft/coloring supplies, play dough, musical instruments, and play food. Also nearby is the play kitchen that I made him for Christmas last year. Our office has a basket of kids books for DS, as well as a toy barn with animals. In our bedroom, DS has another basket with books for bedtime reading. Then there is also another play area in his bedroom, but since it's on the second floor and he's rarely in there, he doesn't play in his room very often. I rotate toys to different rooms every so often, so that he doesn't get bored. If you want to see pics of these play area, let me know and I'll post them.
I think making play spaces around the house is fine and logical with a small house. A designated play room is a luxury, IMO. Plus, not all children had the temperament to play in a different room by themselves.

Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
(Washington, DC) –Mayor Vincent C. Gray and State Superintendent Hosanna Mahaley of the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) today unveiled a new campaign that brings attention to the signs of developmental disabilities and delays in children from birth to age three, highlights the long-term benefits of early intervention and provides information on access to treatment services. The campaign's theme, Don't Wait and Wonder, aims to encourage anyone with concerns about a child's development to contact Strong Start, formerly known as the DC Early Intervention Program, for a no cost evaluation and to determine eligibility for services.
Beginning today, radio and television commercials along with Metro transit ads and other educational materials are promoting the campaign to District residents and helping to reinforce the importance of early intervention.
"For children with developmental disabilities, we know that early intervention works and that better outcomes are the result," said Mayor Gray. "My education agenda focuses on a holistic approach to educating our children from birth through age 24, and the Strong Start program is one important component of our efforts. Through this campaign, we are giving children and their families a fighting chance."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 17 percent of children in the United States have a developmental disability. Currently in the District of Columbia, hundreds of eligible children are not receiving services. Through Strong Start, families will receive individualized care that addresses each child's specific needs.
"The Don't Wait and Wonder campaign speaks to the mindset of most parents and caregivers who live with denial, uncertainty and fear if they have concerns about their child's development," said State Superintendent Mahaley. "We want to assure those families that we can and will help. We believe that the launch of the campaign in collaboration with other projects including the Mayor's One City vision, will work to provide that strong start for our children."
Strong Start services may be provided by health care providers, social workers, physical or mental health specialists, and are based on the individual needs of the child and family. Services are available to both Medicaid and private insurance holders and some services, such as evaluations and service coordination, are provided to families at no cost. To ensure that every child has access to the services they need, Strong Start uses a sliding fee scale to help families in need of assistance.
For more information on Strong Start call 202-727-3665 or visit www.strongstartdc.com

"I searched for two days for the perfect birthday invitations for my mom's 90th! The celebration is at a Mexican Cantina and the colors of this card were perfect! Her smiling face looked fabulous and so cheerful! Can't wait to mail them!"
"We made these invitations for a celebration of marriage and housewarming party. We uploaded a picture of us from when we got married. I choose the white lettering since our picture was a darker background and played with many fonts but used a combo of 2 different ones. I was really excited with the way it looked online and couldn't wait to get them! I was super thrilled with them when I picked them up at Costco, where I had them shipped to. They are extremely nice and I was super happy with the quality and how they turned out!! All my responses from our guests are that the invitations are amazing where did we get them! My parents actually put it in a frame too! 100% happy! Will create more invitations for other events!!"
"we used this as an invitation for my dads birthday celebration. i used a recent picture of him in color, the quality of the print was great... even after cropping the picture-which worried me. i love the rounded edges, gives the card a much more custom feel. we used the back for details about the get together, it was nice to be able to use the back space as we needed it instead of having to follow one template. many compliments already, highly recommend."
"Quality of both paper stock & print was as I expected and beautifully done. The vintage appeal was right on point. Delivered 4 days early. Highly recommend and will certainly return for future events."
"Everyone commented on how cute the cards were and loved the baby picture of the birthday girl. Only thing is that the print is a bit hard to read, a bit on the light side. Fast delivery, easy to order. Will certainly use again!"

It's been a good year for this South Carolina beach resort! Palmetto Dunes not only received a number of high profile honors and accolades recognizing everything from our championship Hilton Head golf courses and tennis facilities to our family friendliness and outstanding staff, but we also started several new events that were a great success.
Here's a quick look back at our star-studded 2013:
The Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center was honored to host a number of high-profile state championships for the United States Tennis Association (USTA). In May, seniors from across South Carolina headed to Hilton Head to take home top honors in the USTA South Carolina 40 & Over Championships, formerly known as the Senior Championships. Then in October, we hosted the USTA South Carolina Combo Adult Championships. Our very own Jackie Reynecke, who helped coordinate these events, was also named the South Carolina League Volunteer of the Year for the USTA.
The Tennis Center was featured in the July issue of Tennis Magazine in a large spread about the resort and was recognized again by TennisResortsOnline.com as the No. 9 Top Tennis Resort in the world and No. 4 Top Junior Tennis programs in the world. Plus, the users of TripAdvisor named the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center the No. 1 attraction in Hilton Head.
Our golf courses are always wonderful to play with their varied attributes and amazing layouts, but they were especially regarded this year. The Arthur Hills golf course got a shout-out from Golf Digest magazine as a top Hilton Head course, in an article that also designated the island as a Best Buddies Trip Destination. PGA.com selected the famous oceanfront No. 10 hole at the Robert Trent Jones golf course a "South Carolina dream hole" and we couldn't agree more!
We also launched a brand new golf app for the iPhone and Android, which now has thousands of users. Using your phone, you can check yardage information, book your tee time, set up leader boards and order food at our golf grilles so it's hot and ready when you finish your round. Download it by searching for Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on your favorite app store.
New Events at Shelter Cove Harbour
Several events made their debut at Shelter Cove Harbour this year to great acclaim. Taste on the Harbour kicked off in March. Due to the event's success, we hosted the event again in October, offering featured menus, drink specials and tastings from Shelter Cove Harbour restaurants on select nights combined with live music from local island bands.
Additionally, Parrot Palooza joined our already very popular HarbourFest summertime event, which celebrated 25 years. Shannon Tanner and the Oyster Reefers, a Jimmy Buffet tribute band, entertained attendees on Friday evenings with island style music as they danced and sang the night away while the sun set over Broad Creek.
Capstone Award
The finish off the year with a bang, Travel + Leisure magazine named Palmetto Dunes to its Top 25 World's Best Family Getaways in its November issue. This made our resort the highest-ranking in South Carolina. The awards are based on a survey of the magazine's readers. "Whether it's reeling in a trophy redfish, learning how to properly swing a golf club or riding the waves on a surfboard, Palmetto Dunes has so much to offer families year round," said Brad Marra, assistant vice president of resort operations for Palmetto Dunes.
What's coming next year? More good things! Palmetto Dunes will be launching a brand new device-responsive website, using the latest online booking technology and designed for ease of use by our wonderful guests. For golfers, the Jones course will be adding new GPS-enabled touch screen systems for all golf carts, which offers course fly-overs, yardage, hole information and more. There's so much more in store… you'll just have to come visit us to see it all!
For more information about vacationing at Palmetto Dunes, visit us at www.palmettodunes.com or call us at 866-744-7558 to get started booking your spring or summer Hilton Head getaway.
If you've ever played our Hilton Head golf courses, then you know just how gorgeous they are with their lush greens, live oaks around every corner and even views of the Atlantic on the Robert Trent Jones course. But have you ever seen our courses from above? We doubt it!
We've created new 3-D animated "flyovers" of each of our South Carolina golf courses to give you a bird's eye view before you hit the greens. Simply go to the individual web page for each course listed below and click on the link to view the flyover.
Once you're on the flyover, choose which hole you've like to soar above and get ready to fly! Each view shows you par for the hole, as well as the distance from each of the tees. Pause at any point to take a more detailed look.
Watching these flyovers is helpful for golfers, because it shows you all in one glance the obstacles you'll face at each hole and allows you to formulate a plan of how to get there.
Don't forget to check out our Hilton Head webcam at the Robert Trent Jones course, as well, to see real-time, on-the-ground action at the golf course. Both of these options are great ways to be "on the course" even when you're stuck at your desk.
Be sure to browse some of our amazing fall golf packages that let you play golf at all three of our championship courses, improve your game at our Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy and enjoy other activities like fishing and biking.
Let us know what you think of the new flyovers and we hope to see you teeing off soon!

Hilton Head is often a popular vacation site for celebrities from the Clintons to John Mellencamp to Paula Abdul, but the celebrity sightings will ramp up this fall at the annual Hilton Head Island Celebrity Golf Tournament August 30-September 1.
This yearly event pairs amateur golfers with celebrities to raise funds for local children's nonprofit organizations. For the past 30 years, Greenwood Resorts and Communities has played an active role in the success of the tournament, and one of the highlighted Hilton Head golf courses has been our own oceanfront Robert Trent Jones course.
Participating in the Hilton Head golf tournament this year are a host of celebrities, including:
And the list goes on… To see the complete list of celebrity participants, visit the tournament website.
The Robert Trent Jones course is the first stop for the three-day tournament. Opening ceremonies begin August 30 at 8:45 a.m. with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. On day 2, players will head to the Arnold Palmer Signature Course at Wexford Plantation and on day 3, Harbour Town Golf Links.
On September 1, there will also be a special kids' event from 1-3 p.m. with putting contests and prizes, as well as T-shirts and golf balls for the first 100 children.
Nothing planned for Labor Day? Take an end-of-summer break to Hilton Head Island and enjoy this classic Hilton Head Island golf tournament. For information about accommodations or other Hilton Head activities at the resort like tennis, kayaking, fishing and more, visit www.palmettodunes.com or give us a call at 866-744-7558.
The Arthur Hills golf course has received plenty of accolades over the years from 2009 South Carolina Golf Course Owners' Association Course of the Year to being awarded 4.5 stars by Fodors Golf Digest. Our popular course has one more jewel to add to its crown this year as the South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel named it to their 2013 Best You Can Play list.
Criteria used in judging include, routing, variety, strategy, equity, memorability, aesthetics and the golfer's experience.
"There are so many outstanding courses that you're really splitting hairs in the voting," says Michael Whitaker, the panel's executive director. "When you think about the number of really good golf courses in this state and reduce that number to 30, it's a daunting task. Some of the older courses have stood the test of time, some have improved with some relative small tweaks and others that have undergone renovation or restoration to their original design features have increased in quality."
The Arthur Hills Hilton Head golf course, where collegiate stars like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson honed their talents and a favorite of former President Bill Clinton, takes full advantage of the natural beauty of Hilton Head Island.
Its spectacular layout represents a careful blend of beauty and challenge. Stands of palmetto trees line the graceful fairway and it's built on a series of rolling dunes. The Arthur Hills Course presents many opportunities for off-balance lies, while ocean breezes add to the challenge. Ten holes on the water further encourage precision play and the course plays 6,651 yards from the back tees.
"We are thrilled that the experts have once again recognized the Arthur Hills Course as one of the most popular layouts in South Carolina," says Brad Marra, vice president of resort operations for Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. "We offer three golf courses that provide our guests a wide variety of looks and challenges, and we are proud of them all. It is pleasing to know that the game's connoisseurs agree."
Have you played the Hills course? What's your favorite hole?
We also have two other championship Hilton Head golf courses, which give you entirely different experiences all at one resort. The Robert Trent Jones Course has one of only two oceanfront holes on the island, and the George Fazio Course is known as one of the island's most challenging courses with its bunkers and water hazards. Be sure to check out all three!
We offer a variety of Hilton Head golf packages for all levels of golfers that include lessons, multi-course play and multiple rounds. Call us at 866-744-7558 for more information or to book a package or tee time or fill out our online form to get a quote request for a group golf outing.
Beautiful weather, beautiful greens, an early tee time and still plenty of sunlight left in the day to walk the beach, rent a bike or play another round! Sounds perfect, doesn't it? That's what your fall getaway to can be to Hilton Head's Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. With temps in the 70s through October, clear blue skies and sunny days with decreasing humidity, fall is just about perfect for your Hilton Head golf vacation.
Tee Time
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort has not one, not two, but three world-class golf courses on the property, so you don't even have to venture outside the resort to tee-off from three different, challenging courses. Each distinguished course was designed to make the most of your abilities … and then some.
For example, the Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course is one of only two oceanfront holes on the entire island. Its 10th hole, a par-5, offers a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. Don't let this beauty fool you, however. The course is tough and was rated among the best courses in the Southeast by readers of Golfweek magazine.
The George Fazio Course is the only par-70 golf course on the island and is considered Hilton Head's most challenging championship course. Fazio designed the course with plenty of bunkers and water hazards to make sure you use all the skills our pros can teach you! The course demands a combination of long play and precise golf shots and ranks among America's top 100 golf courses.
The Arthur Hills Course was built on a series of rolling dunes and is framed by palmetto and live oak trees. It offers many opportunities for off-balance lies and has 10 holes on the water, which means you need to take into account the ocean breeze before you swing.
Have Some Fish and Chips
We know a few people who enjoy the peace of fishing combined with the challenge of golf, and we agree. These two activities are the perfect complement.
So this fall, we're offering our "Fish & Chips" package that lets you take advantage of the amazing redfish abundant in our waters this time of year with an inshore fishing charter along with two rounds of golf per person. It also includes a $100 gift card for dining at the resort, including our new Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza restaurant at the Jones course, a sleeve of golf balls, $50 gift card per person at our Hilton Head pro shops and a two-hour kayak rental to take in our lovely lagoon. Call us at (866) 744-7558 for more about this package.
We also offer a variety of other golf vacation packages from monthly memberships to unlimited golf and more.
Take a Lesson
Take some time to improve your golf skills this fall with a lesson or two from one of our golf pros. Our fall schedule at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy offers a range of options from the novice to the expert golfer.
Our Director of Golf Doug Weaver is a big proponent of the power of the mind when it comes to the game of golf. Take his Mental Golf Workshop and learn how to concentrate like a pro. It also offers a pre-class evaluation of your mental golf style. Ladies can work on putting, chipping, pitching and full swing at our Ladies Only golf workshop.
Need help generating more power? Take our Power and Distance class and learn about the five major power and distance moves and which you need to focus on. Enjoy watching the free-spirited Bubba Watson? We'll teach you how to model his playful attitude and show you how he makes those crazy shots in our Bubba Golf workshop.
And Then Some
In addition to golf, Palmetto Dunes has a host of other activities for you and your group: fishing, tennis, biking and lots of activities and events. You name it, we probably offer it! If you have more questions about what Palmetto Dunes offers for fall getaways in Hilton Head, visit our website or call us at (866) 744-7558.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner: Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is a South Carolina golf resort you must visit if you are a golf aficionado.
Here's why:
Great golf
We have three renowned courses, each one designed by a hero in the world of golf:
The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course was named one of the best golf courses in the Southeast by Golfweek magazine. The 10th hole of this par-five course is one of only two oceanfront holes on the island! The rest of the course ambles along our 11-mile lagoon system. Here's a fun fact: We book more rounds at the Jones course than any other course on the entire island!
The George Fazio Course is definitely a challenging choice with its varied bunkers and water hazards. The Fazio is ranked in the nation's top 100 courses and is the only par-70 course on Hilton Head.
The Arthur Hills Course was ranked 4.5 stars by Fodor's Golf Digest. It has been played by Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, who no doubt enjoyed its careful mix of beauty and challenge. It's positioned on a series of dunes, which presents many opportunities for off-balance lies. In addition, the course offers 10 holes on the water and the ocean breeze adds to the challenge.
Great prices
When it comes to pricing, Palmetto Dunes offers high quality and ways to save. For example, book in advance and save up to 50% off the Resort Golf Rate, which is already very affordable. We also offer multi-round rates, junior programs and a 30-day golf pass, as well as an array of golf packages.
Great location and lodging
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort spans 2,000 acres in the heart of Hilton Head Island and boasts three miles of beachfront. We also have an award-winning tennis center and more activities than you can shake a golf club at.

While winter may slow down most of the country, visitors to Hilton Head can stay active no matter the time of year. With daytime temperatures averaging between 50-60 degrees during the winter, it's great weather to get outside and play a round of golf with us here at Palmetto Dunes.
This winter we're offering two new golf packages and programs that will not only help improve your game but will bring a little piece of Canada to our Island.
If you're looking to improve your golf game while the weather is milder, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy is offering a new "Five Ways to Better Golf" assessment and coaching package. Led by Doug Weaver, Palmetto Dunes' director of golf instruction, guests receive assessments of the following five systems of their golf game: mental, full swing technical, short game technical, equipment and fitness.
Hailing from Granby, Quebec, Michel Dion, joins our golf team this winter to help with instruction. Winter brings many of our Canadian golfers to Hilton Head and Dion's experience and French-speaking abilities will bring a whole new dynamic to Palmetto Dunes.
Spend your winter with us improving every aspect of your golf game, and we'll have you looking like a star in time for spring and summer!
Not sure what to get the golf lover on your list? Let Palmetto Dunes help with our holiday gift guide! Our first suggestion: the new TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron!
This iron delivers distance with progressive top lines and a thinner face. They've also designed shafts specifically for each head and every iron has been reinvented by TaylorMade. Another impressive upgrade is that the weight of the club is lower and wider for a higher level of forgiveness. You'll never hear the golfer in your life complain about turf-drag or shortened ball flight with this club, reaffirming that you bought them the right holiday gift.
All of our golf pros are really enjoying the new TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron and would recommend it to any level of golfer. You can call us now 843.785.1136 or stop by our proshops for more information or to pick one up. We can't promise that your golfer's clothes will be wrinkle free, but we can promise that this iron will be a welcomed addition to their golf bag!
Our Robert Trent Jones Course was the first golf course built at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, and it's a favorite of many. In fact readers of Golfweek magazine voted it among their favorite courses in the Southeast. The course offers 18 holes, 11 of which wind alongside an 11-mile lagoon system. The Jones course is most famous for its par-five 10th oceanfront hole, one of only two on the Island.
Built in 1967 by Robert Trent Jones and significantly reconstructed in 2002 by longtime protégé Roger Rulewich, this course aims to please. After reshaping tees, elevating fairways and improving the drainage system, the course re-opened and was named the 2003 Golf Course of the Year by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association and is ranked four stars by Golf Digest. The Jones course plays 7,005 yards from the championship tees.
And that's not all! The course also claims the largest pro-shop at Palmetto Dunes, and one of the largest on the Island. From Nike and Adidas to Burberry and Travis Mathew, we have it all. After you purchase those new clubs make sure you hit our free custom club fitting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! We hope to "tee" you soon.
Here at Palmetto Dunes we have three award-winning golf courses that we love to brag about. What you may not know is that besides the courses themselves, we also have three amazing pro-shops located on each course!
Our main pro-shop is located at the Robert Trent Jones course and is the largest on the island with a wide variety of merchandise. At all of our pro shops, you can find the newest up-and-coming designers, like Travis Mathew, and many of the classics, such as Cutter & Buck and Underarmour. All three also have the latest equipment from Titleist, Cobra, Cleveland, TaylorMade and Nike.
Beyond our collection of clothing and equipment, each pro-shop also has a grill inside that is open daily for lunch and dinner. Every Thursday the Jones course has all you can eat tacos from 11 a.m. – 2:30 p.m! Need something warm before a cold tee time? Come by the Arthur Hills grill and try a bowl of Liz's homemade New England clam chowder. It's delicious!
Have you been to our pro shops? Did you find something you can't live without?
When you vacation at Palmetto Dunes, you'll be hard pressed to find yourself bored. But just in case there's a moment that finds you wondering what to do next, we have 5 great don't-miss activities that are part of the ultimate Palmetto Dunes experience. Stay tuned for future posts on more top activities at the resort!

In 1999, the airport commissioned Tennessee artist Jack Hastings to create two 15-foot aluminum mobile sculptures entitled Dancing on Air. Hastings' perfectly balanced, folded and curved metal pieces move slowly overhead in the wind currents as passengers enter and exit the concourse areas on either side of the terminal. The brilliant range of colors against the white terminal walls adds visual harmony to the live music often heard in these two locations within the airport terminal.
Dancing on Air is Jack Hastings's first major public art commission in Nashville, and was funded in part by the Metropolitan Nashville Arts Commission. Hastings works in a variety of media, including cast and carved concrete. Other public works by Hastings may be found at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Chattanooga Office Complex and Tennessee's I-75 Interstate Welcome Center.
Arts at the Airport receives funding for the visual arts from the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) and the Tennessee Arts Commission (TAC). The Flying Solo Exhibition Series is funded under an agreement with TAC. For more information about Arts at the Airport, please call (615) 275-1614.

Orlando >Food & Dining > Thai House

Neighborhoods: Colonialtown North, Northeast
What a find! – I found this place upon the recommendations posted here while vacationing in the Orlando area. I am an avid Thai enthusiast, and have been to about 50 different Thai restaurants over the past year trying to find one as good as my favorite back home... this is the first time I've been able to do so.
The spring rolls and crab rangoons were incredible. My Thai Basil (their version of Drunken Noodle) was great too, but could've used more spice. Luckily they have a very handy spice tray. The Pad Thai was also fantastic.
Pricewise, my date and I got 2 drinks, 2 apps, and 2 entrees for under $30. Beats theme park prices any day! We will be visiting again... probably tomorrow on our way home.
best thai food i've ever had – I've tried a couple of thai restaurants in orlando. This one is by far the best one! I would recommend it to anyone, and everything i've ever tried there was EXCELLENT! And suitable to everyone's tastes buds! MUST GO THERE!
VERY authentic, best Thai in Orlando – I lived in Thailand for several years, and my wife is Thai. We have eaten at most of the Thai restaurants in Central Florida, and this is one of our 2 favorites (along with Thai Cuisine on Edgewater Drive). The food is VERY authentic (many other Thai places adjust the taste for what they believe Americans will like) and the prices are reasonable.
Highly recommended!
Authentic Thai Food! – I have tried all of the top 5 rated Thai restaurants on Citysearch and I must say this is my favorite!
AMAZING THAI FOOD – I had just returned home from Thailand and I was stuck on all the wonderful delicacies i found there. One bite of the food at Thai House, and I was swept right back to Ko Samui. The flavors are identical to the traditional dishes I had in their homeland. My favorites include the pad thai (amazing with tofu) and the red curry.
Not only is the food the most amazing Thai Orlando has to offer, but the atmosphere is that "adorable family owned corner restaurant" style that I have grown to love. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Money is no Object – This is the best Thai food that I have ever had. I have lived in a feww big cities when there are many Thai restaurants, and this one is by far the best. The Pad Thai is extrodinary. You must also try the cucumber salad a refreshing begining to your meal. But most of all you are getting a great value. First class food and service for very little money. It is any easy takeout dinner instead of the usual Chinese.
This classy restaurant dishes out delicious yet refined Thai cuisine with a touch of family charm. – In Short
Numerous Siamese statues and paintings populate a small, low-key dining room. Service is knowledgable and friendly. Start with a bowl of tom yum gai, a lemon-lime chili broth filled with chunks of chicken and vegetables. Noodle and curry dishes, especially the savory red curry, a chunky stew of meat, spicy curry, pineapple and bamboo--make for a good entree selections. If ordering for the table try a whole fish selections--particularly the tantalizing pla jian, a whole, deep fried snapper topped with pork, ginger and mushrooms.
PANANG!! – Been going to this place for years. They used to be in a small house on Colonial, but moved down the street. My favorite dish is the Chicken Panang. The thai iced tea is a great compliment to the meal, and the bananas are a nice, light dessert. The servers are friendly, and attentive. A must for Thai cuisine lovers!

I have never been disappointed at one of these restaurants (they seem to be everywhere I go), and this one was great like the rest. Friendly (although frenzied due to the crowd) servers and delicious spaghetti. Dinner includes loaves of bread with garlic butter, salad, hot tea, and a small cup of ice cream for dessert. The funky decor also keeps a constant stream of conversation going.

The very first Old Spaghetti Factory opened in Portland, Oregon, according to OSF lore, on a cold and rainy night in January 1969. Guss and Sally Dussin chose an old building in the low-rent warehouse district for their new Italian restaurant. Sally decorated with garage sale treasures, much of the furniture and wall art antiques. The restaurant made enough profit that year to open two more OSF's in 1970.
Also in 1970, the first Canadian Old Spaghetti Factory was opened by Vancouver relatives of the American Dussins. Though to my eyes they're virtually the same in terms of décor, menu, and bang-for-your-buck prices, there's no official connection between the two chains.
Old Spaghetti Factory U.S. version is found in 14 states, heaviest presence in California with 15 locations. Old Spaghetti Factory Canadian version is found in four provinces, with five of its eleven restaurants in British Columbia.
Victoria's Old Spaghetti Factory has a most auspicious location on one end of historic Crystal Garden. We decided to give it a go towards the end of our stay, but Bob and I got our wires crossed. I thought we were to meet there at the restaurant; he understood we'd meet at the car. So I was well into our liter of burgundy, enjoying people-watching from a patio table, when a somewhat disgruntled Bob arrived. But a glass of Sawmill Creek red soon had him mellowed out.
The long paper menu is similar to the U.S. version, with drawings of sale items (furniture, soap, clothing, shoes) from turn-of-the-century catalogs lining the sides. Curious and classy antiques line the floors and walls indoors. What makes OSF such a winner for us, though, is their all-inclusive entrée policy: included in the price is choice of minestrone soup or tossed green salad and bottomless sourdough bread basket, and spumoni ice-cream and choice of coffee or tea.
Bob ordered his favorite: spaghetti, meatballs and chorizo sausage with extra meat sauce. I ordered the "manager's favourite", which allows you to choose two of the six specialty sauces with your spaghetti. Love those butter clams in béchamel, and mushrooms in marinara. Though the Mizithra cheese and browned butter sauce is terribly tempting as well. For the truly wishy-washy, a potpourri of spaghetti with three sauces can be ordered. Besides spaghetti dinners, a respectable variety of Italian-North American favorites graces the menu.

I hope this is an easy question and I am just an idiot for not fiquering it out on my own...
I am creating a CBT with Caprivate 5. When using Bullets or Numbering, I can not continue with the sequence on the next slide.
(Slide 1)
Types of Fish
1. Salt Water
A. White Meat
i. Cod
ii. Cusk
iii. Summer Flounder
B. Light Meat
i. Smelt
ii. Whiting
iii. Grouper
(Slide 2)
Types of Fish (cont)
C. Dark Meat
i. Eel
ii. Carp
iii. Pollock
Problem is slide 2 starts over as A instead of C.
Types of Fish (cont)
A. Dark Meat
i. Eel
ii. Carp
iii. Pollock
Anyone know what to do as I am manually fixing the numbering and it throws off the flow.
If these lists are on separate captions, let alone separate slides, Captivate would naturally assume that they don't belong to the same list order.
Your method of hardcoding in the numbering is the only way I know to do it.
Once you've set up the numbering though, it should look fine. It's only a bit of extra work when creating the content, isn't it?
2000 slides and counting. 20 more projects to go. It seems as if this would be a common occurance and have some shortcut key to continue formating on the next page. It just makes for slow progress.
You could do the numbering in Word then copy and paste into Captivate. I haven't checked that though.
But why do you want to format your content this way? What benefit are you trying to achieve?
Work bings the numbering over and I then need to tab into place. This helps a little for futre projects. Thanks.
To answer your question. I am pulling from a powerpoint presentation and want to start fresh and not import. Import only brings in a picture of the screen and is blurry so I am retyping everything or copying and pasting. The power point refernces so legal material that extends between 5-20 pages and lists and bullets everything. The continuation on the new page(or 19 pages after) start over at 1 instead of continuing the format or numbering from the previous page. It would seem that this is something that would happen often and you should be able to start the numbering on the new page at whatever you want.
Well, that's a start. I'm not sure I can think of a better way to get content like that in to Captivate.
On the wider issue, I don't want to start second guessing your choices for the delivery methods for your courses, but are you sure Captivate or even elearning is the best method for this content?
elearning generally doesn't really work that well for that kind of large scale information. My preference would be a good old pdf or html help document.
If you're using Captivate because you need to test you could always put the information in the pdf and just have the quiz in Captivate.
I'm not criticising your choice by the way; I don't know the background about the project. Just offering a different perspective
I thank you for your comments. This is the very beggining of a large CBT project. The first section involves reading material and different sections for manuals.Captivate was declared the best tool to use for this project. Not all the courses contain this type of material and most will have several interactive parts. It was all original done in Authorware. Unfortunately, it was getting to time consuming trying to troubleshoot browser compatability issues and a change needed to be made. I do appreciate everyones comments and hope that i can be of help as I learn the product more.

Unlucky In Love: Our Advice for Emma Swanby Christine Orlando at .
Our favorite TV characters are amazing in so many ways. Great hair, beautiful clothes, even mystical powers. Unfortunately, sometimes not even magic spells success when it comes to love.
Here at TV Fanatic we're doing our best to pinpoint those characters whose love lives seem particularly unlucky and take them under our wing. We've already doled out our sage advice to Olivia Pope of Scandal, Tony DiNozzo of NCIS and Dr. Temperance Brennan of Bones.
Now it's time to wave our magical wand over Emma Swan of Once Upon a Time…
Dear Emma,
What can we say? Has anyone ever been more unlucky than you when it comes to love? After being abandoned by your parents in an enchanted tree trunk, things didn't get much better for you.
Your first love, Neal left you. Yes, August had convinced him he was doing the right thing. That ditching you would help fulfill some magical prophecy but did desitny really require you to be alone, pregnant, and in prison?
When it comes to curses, you need look no farther than your own love life. The moment Sheriff Graham had eyes for you Regina crushed his heart to dust…literally,
Things with August looked interesting but then he left. When he finally returned he was more wood than man and then the Blue Fairy turned him back into a little boy. Tough break.
The appearance of Captain Hook looked hopeful, until you ditched him on top of a bean stalk with a giant. Not the best way to build trust.
When you and Neal finally crossed paths again he found out you shared an 11 year old son. And you found out Neal had a secretly evil fiancee. Sigh.
When Shakespeare wrote, "the course of true love never did run smooth" I doubt even he could have imagined a love life such as yours. Cursed is truly the only word we can come up with to accurately describe it. Perhaps you should talk to Rumpelstiltskin or that Blue Fairy about a cleansing spell before you try your hand at love again.
That said, this isn't the time to give up. Although Neal was sucked through an otherworldly portal after declaring his love for you, all hope is not lost. And if that doesn't work out don't forget about that pirate, Hook. There seems to be a heart hidden under that swagger…and a hotness even magic can't hide.
Do not despair dear Emma. Once Upon a Time season 3 is on its way and with a new season comes the opportunity to change your luck in love.
Dear readers: who would YOU pick to win Emma's heart?

How does it make sense to put Emma with a mundane character who will have no such chemistry as that between her and Regina? Think about it, the saviour. It's staring you all in the face, the saviour an save Regina from herself, there are other evils existing out there the plot writers can follow, Regina and Emma would create a new generation of love, it will highlight loves meaning! As for people who are against the idea then perhaps the way to open their eyes is to do it! Seriously, it's the best answer, redemption, compassion, love, passion created from hatred, it's what our world needs, especially outside of fairytales.

New Book Cover
Blog Post by Tatjana Soli - Mar.06.2012 - 12:29 am
So happy to show my new book cover for the second novel, The Forgetting Tree. After the adventure of going through many, many covers on the first book, this one came in the very beginning, and we are all happy with it.
"...this is—not to mince words—a devastatingly awesome novel. It's one of those books that I didn't want to put down—I resented everything else that I needed to do in my life, because I didn't want to stop reading it."
—Nancy Pearl, Book Lust

WWE has issued a statement touting the fact that a record number of households watched Wrestlemania 30 this year. That total comes from both the WWE Network and traditional pay per view buys. One of the reasons why Vince McMahon wanted to launch the online service was to draw in more people for the pay per view with the lower monthly pricing.
April 16, 2014
While some investors have given up hope on WWE, Vince McMahon and company still manages to break records. Wrestlemania 30 broke the record for the highest grossing entertainment event held at the Superdome. WWE pulled in $10.9 million from the gate. The press statement also touted that the company managed to sell out 75,167 tickets for Wrestlemania.
April 7, 2014
For more than three decades, the record at the Superdome for a wrestling event was set by a show featuring Michael Hayes and Junkyard Dog in the main event. The two of them drew in 28,000 fans, which is a mark that WWE should easily blow away with Wrestlemania 30. As many already know, Hayes works backstage for the company and will be at the pay per view.
April 6, 2014
"David Arquette is his own animal. As much heat as he ever took, for him, all the money he made for that pay per view when he busted me over the head with the guitar and Jeff Jarrett took the world title, the money he made, he gave to Melanie Pillman. When he pinned Eric Bischoff, not me, and I will go on record as saying that was the biggest clusterfuck ever, and it never should have happened, but it did. That being said, that was the booking committee. It was not Arquette, and every fan that has ever roasted him, should dip their own ass in boiling oil because everyone of you that has buried Arquette, if put in the same position, you would have jumped through a hoop of burning oil to do the same shit. That's why when everyone busts his balls on that, I just want to smack someone. I'm like, "really, you, Marko Mark? You would have died for that." - Diamond Dallas Page defending David Arquette for winning a championship

When a professional wrestler becomes popular, often times fans will try to get to know as much about the performer as possible. A lot of fans lately have been discovering that Roman Reigns has a public intoxication arrest on his record. However, it happened a long time ago, so WWE does not consider that a big of a deal. His push is not in jeopardy.

"For the record, I am not making any personal appearances at any events. Someone is spreading some bullshit suggesting that I am. Save your money. I don't know who started this nonsense, but I have not had a conversation with anyone about any appearances." - Eric Bischoff warning fans
March 6, 2014
It should be noted that Randy Orton has never won an Elimination Chamber match in his career. He has been involved in five of them, and WWE has made it a point to emphasize his horrible record, which means that he has a great chance of walking out victoriously at Elimination Chamber 2014 with the heavyweight championship.

"For the record, I had no issues with Virginia commission, in regards to my no show. I never received my airline tickets. Also, for the record, the Virginia promoter did everything he could as well. I'll just have to come make it up to everyone as soon as possible." - Sean Waltman explains no show

The record for most elimination in the Royal Rumble belongs to Kane, who once took out eleven performers. There are talks that Roman Reigns could be given the distinction of beating that tonight at Royal Rumble 2014. He is expected to be pushed heavily during the match.

In a match that will forever be infamous, King Kong Bundy, who was accompanied by Jimmy Hart, squashed SD Jones in the second match of Wrestlemania 1. The match lasted less than a minute, but WWE announced that it was nine seconds, which is a record.
March 31, 1985
Throughout the years, WWE has been known to test out their performers to see how they react to things, and the belief is that the backstage tradition is being continued in WWE NXT as well. Travis Tyler could be a potential target of that testing, as he has not been given a televised victory since defeating Sawyer Fulton back in November.

Give Me a Breakby John Stossel
Working as a correspondent for 20/20 and Good Morning America, John Stossel confronted dozens of scam artists: from hacks who worked out of their basements to some of America's most powerful executives and leading politicians. His efforts shut down countless crooks -- both famous and obscure. Then he realized what the real problem was. In Give Me a Break, Stossel takes on the regulators, lawyers, and politicians who thrive on our hysteria about risk and deceive the public in the name of safety. Drawing on his vast professional experience (as well as some personal ones), Stossel presents an engaging, witty, and thought-provoking argument about the beneficial powers of the free market and free speech.
Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel - Why Everything You Know is Wrongby John Stossel
Stossel explains that much of what we hear, and what the media say, are myths. And he backs it up.
No, They Can'tby John Stossel
The government is not a neutral arbiter of truth. It never has been. It never will be. Doubt everything. John Stossel does. A self-described skeptic, he has dismantled society's sacred cows with unerring common sense. Now he debunks the most sacred of them all: our intuition and belief that government can solve our problems. In No, They Can't, the New York Times bestselling author and Fox News commentator insists that we discard that idea of the "perfect" government--left or right--and retrain our brain to look only at the facts, to rethink our lives as independent individuals--and fast. With characteristic tenacity, John Stossel outlines and exposes the fallacies and facts of the most pressing issues of today's social and political climate--and shows how our intuitions about them are, frankly, wrong: * the unreliable marriage between big business, the media, and unions * the myth of tax breaks and the ignorance of their advocates * why "central planners" never create more jobs and how government never really will * why free trade works--without government Interference * federal regulations and the trouble they create for consumers * the harm caused to the disabled by government protection of the disabled * the problems (social and economic) generated by minimum-wage laws * the destructive daydreams of "health insurance for everyone" * bad food vs. good food and the government's intrusive, unwelcome nanny sensibilities * the dumbing down of public education and teachers' unions * how gun control actually increases crime . . . and more myth-busting realities of why the American people must wrest our lives back from a government stranglehold. Stossel also reveals how his unyielding desire to educate the public with the truth caused an irreparable rift with ABC (nobody wanted to hear the point-by- point facts of ObamaCare), and why he left his long-running stint for a new, uncensored forum with Fox. He lays out his ideas for education innovation as well and, finally, makes it perfectly clear why government action is the least effective and desirable fantasy to hang on to. As Stossel says, "It's not about electing the right people. It's about narrowing responsibilities." No, They Can't is an irrefutable first step toward that goal.

For Immediate Release:
SAINT PAUL, MN – Formal charges have been filed in Ramsey County District Court on allegations that Saint Paul and Spooner, WI resident Linda A. Brost committed a litany of offenses, including insurance fraud, theft by swindle, aggravated forgery, and identity theft. This morning, the Department of Commerce Insurance Fraud Division, assisted by the St. Paul Police Department, Ramsey County Sheriff's Office and Washburn County (WI) Sheriff's Office, executed search warrants at Brost's St. Paul and Spooner, Wisconsin residences. During the execution of the warrants, Brost was arrested and is currently at the Ramsey County Jail. According to a criminal investigation conducted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce's Insurance Fraud Division, Brost allegedly forged documents and stole the identity of her deceased client with the purpose to obtain at least $46,769 from his estate.
"Insurance and financial crimes victimize all of us, and our joint efforts with state and local law enforcement show we can stop these fraudsters," said Commissioner Mike Rothman. "Insurance fraud often goes hand-in-glove with other criminal activity like identity theft, which shows the far reaching impact of these crimes."
"We take financial fraud very seriously and this criminal scheme is no exception," said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. "I want to thank the Minnesota Department of Commerce's Insurance Fraud Unit for their diligence and hard work to bring this case forward."
Commissioner Mike Rothman and Ramsey County Attorney John Choi caution all Minnesotans that insurance fraud is a crime with serious criminal consequences.
The Commerce Department initially uncovered the actions of Linda A. Brost, 61, during a routine review of information provided by Jackson National Life Insurance Company, the insurer of the victim's two annuity policies. The case was then referred to the Commerce Department's Insurance Fraud Division to conduct a criminal investigation.
Law enforcement officers at the Department immediately commenced a criminal investigation into the allegations against Brost. According to the criminal complaint, Brost was hired by Arthur Fischbach to draft his last will and testament. After gifts were distributed to personal friends, his wishes detailed the remaining assets were to become part of an estate to be split between the Church of St. Francis De Sales and the Shriners Hospital.
The complaint alleges that after drafting Fischbach's last will and testament in 1993 and Fischbach's subsequent death in 2005, Brost used her deceased husband's expired notary stamp, altered the expiration date and forged his signature to fraudulently notarize her own signature on a certificate of trust for her client, Fischbach. At that time, Brost was unsuccessful in her attempt to access approximately $140,000 in Fischbach's account. The fraudulent notary stamp and failed attempt to access the funds resulted in the Supreme Court of Minnesota to suspend Brost's license to practice law.
The criminal complaint states that in 2010, five years after his death, Jackson National Life Insurance sent letters to Mr. Fischbach using Brost's address to notify him that his annuities were nearing their maturity date. After multiple notification letters sent to Brost's address, over the span of nine months, Jackson National received two signed validity letters, one for each policy, purportedly signed by Arthur Fischbach which were witnessed by Brost.
On February 23, 2011, it is alleged that a checking account was established for the Trust of Arthur Fischbach, with Linda Brost identified as Trustee. Subsequently, Brost created an email address to communicate with Jackson National first for direct deposit of the monthly annuity payments and secondly, to request information for full surrender of the annuity in the sum of $28,641.60.
The complaint further states, that the investigation conducted by the Commerce Department was able to establish the origin and login history of the "Arthur Fischbach" email address used to communicate with Jackson National in connection with the annuity surrender and direct deposit of money, all of which has been linked to Linda Brost. Further, the Department's Insurance Fraud Division examined the bank account records of the Fischbach Trust, which revealed that Brost converted the money from the account and personally used the funds. All total, Brost stole at least $46,769 from Fischbach's estate.
Based on these allegations and evidence, Linda A. Brost has been charged with six counts including insurance fraud, theft by swindle, and identity theft, all felony crimes that carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $20,000 respectively.
