I had not tried on any wedding dresses prior to going to Bianca's Bridal. I was really nervous and a little scattered but was quickly calmed when the consultant quickly helped me and my group start the process of finding a dress. She asked about what style I was interested in and since I had not tried on dresses prior to that day she pulled dresses of various styles that had the details I was looking for to help me see what best suited me. I did not believe that I would find a dress that day but we actually found something that I fell in love with. I was a little hesitant at first to purchase a dress on my first shopping trip but the consultant was nice enough to give my mom and I time in the dressing room to discuss it. It was a little out of my budget but I was happily surprised when the consultant informed me that it was part of a trunks show and was discounted. Since it was a weekend they called me the following business day to let me know that my dress had been ordered. I had a very good experience and am very excited to see my dress when it comes in
Perfect place to go and search from PROM DRESSES :D .,i was having a hard time looking for a prom dress until i got here to Bianca's Bridal Couture . first thing i see on the Martinique was a GORGEOUS gold glitter dress, i was determined to find a dress that i like ,The time i spend there i found my PERFECT PROM DRESS , for 550.I WAS AMAZED on how beautiful this dress was . Plus the COSTUMER SERVICE STAFF was nice and not rude i was happy they motivated me to buy my dress :) . i cant wait to go get my adjustments done so i can have my BEAUTIFUL DRESS in my hands ,. I really recommend everyone to go to Bianca's Bridal Couture :)
I was just in here a week ago to get sized for my bridesmaids dress. My experience here from when I walked in and until I walked out was great. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and helped accordingly and fairly fast. The lady that assisted me was very sweet and professional. She sized me up, let me choose one dress size smaller than I was, and then asked how much I would like to pay for my down payment. I chose the amount I was comfortable paying for and was out the door. I have never yet had any unpleasant experiences here! I personally recommend this Bridal boutique to any!
My experience was fantastic – Great place! I found an amazing dress and an empolyee named Matthew gave me great customer service. Even with my slightly difficult requests he was able to help me with what seemed to be genuine care. Im sooo glad I decided to browse through their shop that day and will definitley be going back to Biancas Bridal.
thank you! – Such a lovely group of ladies that work at Bianca's! I would highly recommend this store if you are recently engaged and looking to buy your wedding dress - my consultant was patient and kind, and not pushy at all. I have another appointment with her next week to choose my bridesmaids dresses and I'm sure it will be just as great.
Thank you so much for a lovely experience.

(getting married 09/10/2011)
LOVED IT! – I had such a great experience at Bianca's Bridal Couture! Before going in for the first time back in July 2010, I saw some pretty bad reviews about the store online...but after going to their website, I decided to check them out anyways. BEST DECISION I made! Not only found my dream wedding dress (Enzoani style Fern), but also had all of my bridesmaids buy their dresses here too! My consultant Donna was SUPER friendly, and I went in a few times when Donna had a day off, and the other lady's were just as nice. My mom and my mother-in-law both also bought their gowns at Bianca's! Basically they dressed my entire wedding (except for the groomsmen and groom, cause they only rent tuxedo's and we wanted to buy them) Overall, they totally deserve 5 stars...and I would give them more stars if I could!
My Worst Bridal Experience EVER – This was the worst experience of my entire wedding planning and the only vendor I had issues with. Please read on and I will share my worst dress experience ever! Bianca's was the closest store to me that cared Alfred Angelo dresses. I found the perfect one I wanted for my bridesmaids. I went into the store in May and July telling them both times telling them I wanted to place and order and they told me to wait until August because it about 12 weeks to order and ship. I said all my bridesmaids live out of state and I needed to make sure they would have time to be fitted. They said I had plenty of time. So, in August I placed my order and Elianor said she would call me after placing the order with Alfred Angelo and let me know the exact shipping date. So she wrote my tickets out for each dress making the price more than the ticket. I showed her the ticket price and said this is what is on the dress there are no signs that say the dress prices have increased. Hesitantly she changed the price to the ticket price with no explanation and I paid 50% of my order as required. She then calls me 30 mins later and says the dresses would be leaving AA on Nov. 26th with a ten day shipping order. Meaning they could arrive as late as Dec. 8th. My heart stopped my wedding was Dec. 11 and I still had to ship the dresses to my bridesmaids out of state. She said I could pay $40 per dress for a rush delivery and get them to her on Nov. 26th and then overnight them to my bridesmaids. I asked her if there was any way we could rush order the dresses and she said no. So I paid and extra $120 to get them delivered to her by the Nov. 26th so I could overnight them and give my girls a week to get fitted. Over the next few weeks I explained to my bridesmaids what happened and decided that I should call other AA stores that are located 30 to 60 mins from my house. I wanted to make sure that Alfred Angelo didn't offer a 6 or 8 week rush like they and myself had seen offered by other dress companies. All three stores including Maxine's Bridal Shop, The Elizabeth and Sonora Bridal Boutique told me AA offered 6 and 8 week rushes for $20 and $10 per dress and all three boutiques said the price of the dress was $182. Over $20 less than what Bianca's was trying to charge me. After learning of this I called Bianca's and begged them to please call AA and put a 6 or 8 week rush on my dresses I didn't care the cost. After four days of not hearing back from them I called and left a message. Three days later I finally got a call that they could do the eight week rush for a total of $30 extra. I was happy and mad at the same time. All this worry and stress all because they didn't know how AA worked and didn't have the business since or cared enough about me to call and ask if they offered rush orders when we had placed the order. So now with the $120 three day rush delivery and the $30 8 week rush I could get my dresses on Nov. 16th. I was so excited!! Don't forget Thanksgiving was in there too. So on the 16th I call the store and ask if my dresses were in and they say NO. I thought I was going to die. I explained the entire story from the beginning and I paid for them to be here by the 16th and you said they would be. Bianca's said well let me check with Elianor and she will call you back. A while later Yolanda the manager called and said they had looked in the back and found them and that it was all my fault for changing my wedding date. I said it's been 12-11-10 for over 12 months now and it's never changed. I would never want another bride to experience any of these problems. I felt like they didn't care about me or my bridesmaid's dresses. If I hadn't paid half of the money upfront I would have ordered with one of the other businesses but because it was two weeks later I didn't want to lose more time on getting the dresses here asap.
Bait and Switch – My first experience with Biancas was pleasant. I was with my Maid of Honor and we were treated well and were not rushed. I found the perfect dress and purchased it. I was told that if 6 other gowns were purchased for my wedding (bridesmaids, mother of bride, etc.) that they would give all of us a 10% discount which sounded awesome!They have a great selection of bridal gowns and nearly half as many bridesmaids dresses, making it a "one stop" shop. Unfortunately, my experience(s) after making the purchase have not been as pleasant which is why I feel compelled to write this review. At the time of purchase, I was told that "we give our brides a great deal on alterations." I made an appointment for alterations, and waited 45 minutes past my appointment time to be measured while 3 other consultants stood at the counter chatting. Well, my alterations included only 3 buttons for the bustle (no length or size alterations were needed) and the bill was $180. I felt very misled. When my bridesmaids came in to take measurements and purchase their dresses, my consultant claimed to have never told us that she'd discount it 10% and gave each girl only a $10 discount on a $200 dress. Again, misled. When I requested to have my alterations done 2 months in advance (instead of 1 month) because my fiance was undergoing a series of surgeries and we would be too busy at that time, I had to make serveral phone calls to get them to do it. The consultant I spoke with told me serveral times that they would not do it- my question was WHY? I'm the one paying for the alterations, I should get to choose when I want it altered! Now, the icing on the cake- when the bridesmaids were fitted for their gowns, the two consultants working with us said that alterations are approximately $20-25 total. There were a total of 5 of us standing there with the two consultants who heard this. Today, when my maid of honor went to have her dress shortened, she was charged $50. They refused to honor the price they had quoted 5 adult women. Again, dishonesty. I'm really disgusted with this place- they work really hard to earn your purchase then completely mistreat their customers. Great business ethic. I won't return and I will never refer a friend or family member to Biancas for bridal, prom or any other occassion. I never submit reviews, but in this case the lying is so blantant that I hope to save other happy brides (and their attendants) from the same crummy experience.
Wonderful service – We had a very bad experience at another local business, Wedding Center USA. We went to Bianca's to order 9 bridesmaids dresses very close to our ordering deadline. We received the dresses in plenty of time and at a good price. The staff was extremely helpful. I would recommend this business to anyone.
Never in My Life.... – I had a bad experience here. One of the associates yelled and berated me after i canceled an order on a dress. The deposit is nonrefundable so they made 40 bucks off me already plus 4 bridesmaid had already put down $75 deposits on their dresses. She told me I "have issues" and i just have never been treated so badly at a store in my life. Not all the sales representatives are rude ( Elsie is really nice,patient and helpful) but I wouldnt remcommend the store. It is never acceptable to be rude, condescending and raise your voice at a paying customer.

I lost my dad decades ago.
But then this guy comes along who likes to sing as he walks, a jolly Irishman who laughs and cracks wise with a hint of the devil in him and I remember that guy.
We become friendly, but then who isn't a friend of his? He gives me his email address, and I don't know, do you believe in signs from beyond? Or remarkable coincidences?
Vin Scully uses an email address that makes you believe his nickname is "Red." My dad's name was John, but everyone called him "Red."
Now I know what you're thinking, the poor guy lost it when he fell in that Phoenix hotel room and he's still down for the count.
Maybe so, but I look forward to talking to Vin Scully as much as anyone I know.
If you had a chance to talk to your father again, or come close to faking it, how much would that mean to you?
So I emailed Red, told him I wanted to use him as I ease my way back to work.
He was there for me Friday.
I remember someone else you would hear before you would see, and what a great sound it was. You hear that Scully voice now and how do you not feel better?
On this day Scully's coughing, something my dad did every day of his life. Don't know what it's doing for Scully now, but I find his barking comforting.
Like I said, do you believe in signs from beyond?
He says he won't miss the season opener as he did a year ago with a cold, "But I've added to my fun this season. I have a torn rotator cuff. Maybe pulling a suitcase, I don't know.
"The good thing is I won't miss a turn because it's not my throwing arm," says the old southpaw.
And we're laughing. But we'll see what happens when he reads and thinks, "Page 2 as my son — nooooo!"
Before we meet, he has already greeted Marie, the elevator operator, and Robert and James, who stand watch at the entrance of the Vin Scully Press Box. Sometimes you wonder if he's auditioning to be a Walmart greeter.
"These are my friends," he says, and you would seriously have to wonder about someone considered the enemy.
"I look at this job as a challenge — if still I got it. I guess it's a fear of failure," he adds, admitting he hears criticism on occasion. "And it hurts."
He sounds so natural behind a microphone, as he tells everyone it's time for Dodger baseball, but he's all about the homework. Today he's talking Romeo and Juliet.
He doesn't have it quite memorized, but he gives it a try: "When he shall die, take him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine. That all the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun."

On the Floor
On April 15th, the House passed the Continuing Extension Act (H.R. 4851), to extend emergency relief for people who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own and a few other programs (unemployment benefits, COBRA, Medicare physician payments, satellite TV, flood insurance, and small business loans) for two months (generally through May 31).
On April 15th, the House passed the Clean Estuaries Act (H.R. 4715), introduced by Reps. Tim Bishop (D-NY) and Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ), by a vote of 278 - 128. This bipartisan bill reauthorizes the National Estuary Program through FY 2016 and makes improvements to the program. The Congress created the program in 1987 as an amendment to the Clean Water Act.
On March 24th, the House passed the Disaster Relief and Summer Jobs Act (HR 4899) by a vote of 239-175. This bill contains $5.1 billion in aid to help disaster-stricken communities rebuild their homes, infrastructure and local economies and protect them from future disasters -- with our nation facing record snowfalls and major floods this year and continuing to recover from last year's natural disasters.
Getting Americans back to work is our number one priority. Today, we will take another step forward, with another in a series of measures to create jobs and strengthen our economy.
The week of March 22nd, the House passed a series of veterans measures, including a bill to arm the VA with better tools to fight and end homelessness. It is unacceptable that an estimated 131,000 veterans are homeless on any given night after risking their lives on behalf of this country. These bills would also increase on-the-job training opportunities for returning veterans, prevent mortgage lenders from foreclosing on a veteran's home after their service, and make sure payments for disabled veterans keep pace with the cost of living.
On March 4th, the House passed the House amendments to the Senate amendments to H.R. 2847, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act by a vote of 217-201. This bipartisan job creation bill passed the Senate by a vote of 70-28 and is one in a series of measures Congress will take to restore the American economy.
Today, the House will consider the Keeping All Students Safe Act (H.R. 4247). This bipartisan bill, introduced by Rep. George Miller (D-CA) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), for the first time, establishes federal minimum safety standards in schools, preventing harmful restraint and seclusion, similar to federal protections already in place in hospitals and other community-based facilities.
On February 25th, the House passed H.R. 4691, the Temporary Extension Act. This emergency legislation will extend a range of programs (including unemployment benefits, the highway bill, COBRA, satellite TV, and small business loan guarantees) under suspension of the rules.
Today, House and Senate leaders of both parties are meeting with the President at the Blair House to discuss moving forward with comprehensive health reform. Without reform, the cost of health care for the average family of four is projected to rise $1,800 every year for years to come--and insurance companies will make more health care decisions. America's middle class deserves better and we're closer than ever to making reform a reality. As we go forward, our reform efforts must pass the Triple-A test, reaching our three key goals: affordability for the middle class, accessibility for all Americans, and accountability for the insurance industry.
On February 24th, the House passed the Health Insurance Industry Fair Competition Act (HR 4626), to restore competition and transparency to the health insurance market. The bill amends the McCarran-Ferguson Act by repealing the blanket antitrust exemption afforded to health insurance companies. Under the bill, health insurers will no longer be shielded from legal accountability for price fixing, dividing up territories among themselves, sabotaging their competitors in order to gain monopoly power, and other such anti-competitive practices.

Fun hipster hotel, with fun touches like turntables and vinyl records in rooms and mid century modern furnishings. Really an upgraded motel, but we loved it.

Should warn people that it is a little funky. However good location and clean. Great value for the money. Great location for golfers and the help was very friendly. We stayed there 40 years ago and not much has changed.
|Mar 14, 2014 laawrence CA, United States
Very hip and modern, lots of open space and greenery in the inner courtyard. Lots of space to play outside, especially great for dogs. It looks like a motel from the outside but very luxurious inside and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We were in a balcony room (2nd floor) and it had a table and chairs to relax and play a game. The first level rooms on our side had a very large outdoor patio that was enclosed and semi-private. Tech in the rooms was great, nice tv with dvd/vhs player, speaker system for iPods, though not updated to our 5s. Nice little free lending library of movies in the lobby. They insisted on helping us with our dinner reservations. Maid service was thorough (there was a small army of them for only 30 rooms).
the ONLY thing missing was an outdoor jacuzzi/hot tub. I love that in a romantic getaway. Aaaand we did have some trouble getting wifi in our room for most of the trip, but were able to get it in the lobby. Not great if you had to do a lot of business though. But really top-notch in pretty much every other way!

DDC house was amazing value for money. Beautiful Aircon rooms which towels changed and beds remade daily. Was like staying at a nice hotel and hostel rates. It's a little out of patong center (15min walk) but if you have a bike it's about 2 minutes.

DDC House was a nice place to stay because it is in a quiet location and the facility is very clean. The room is nice and the air conditioning worked wonderfully as did the tv. It is about a 15 minute walk to Bangla Road but very easy to get to. The staff are helpful too.

Maduro certified as election winner amid protests
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela's government-friendly electoral council quickly certified the razor-thin presidential victory of Hugo Chavez' hand-picked successor Monday, apparently ignoring opposition demands for a recount as anti-government protests broke out in the bitterly polarized nation.
People stood on their balconies in Caracas apartment buildings banging pots and pans in protest as the electoral council's president proclaimed Nicolas Maduro president for the next six years.

Welcome to Orsm.net. Is there anything bacon CAN'T do?
People who, when a call drops out and you call them back, feel the need to have a whole discussion about who dropped out, why it dropped out, how many drop outs they've been having lately, what network they're with and so on, annoy me. Just call back, carry on as if it didn't happen and let me get the fuck off the phone!
Now that's out of the way let's get rolling with a whole bunch of words about me and my life. Beginning with...
Speeding fines. The last time I copped one was about 2 years ago on the freeway in the GFs car. It's a Hyundai so in some ways kind of impressive it even had the jimmies to get up to, let alone over, the speed limit. The point of this story however is tempting fate. With junior about to poke his or her head out in a few months we're doing the practical/responsible/lame thing and changing to something more SUV. Unfortunately that means MY baby, my pride and joy, my first love, will soon be looking for a new home. I'd had a conversation recently that if I can hang on and avoid a speeding fine it will end a more than 7 year streak of driving it like a complete dickhead all without receiving a single infringement. The closest I came was very late one night a few years ago... a cop pulled me over doing I think 170kmh+ and incredibly let me off because he didn't actually clock me before I slowed down. Sadly though, the streak ended March 28. Don't remember seeing the camera but do remember aggressively overtaking a fucktard going well under the speed limit in the fast lane. Whether or not it was worth the $150 remains to be seen however at the very least it was nice to get an action photo of my car in the post.
My good deed gone bad for the week happened last Friday doing the groceries. As I came into an aisle I was stopped by 2 little old ladies. Their eyes lit up when they saw me for I am tall. "Will you reach for us 2 jars of coffee on the top shelf please? The ones on sale..." I grab the jars and jokingly say "That'll be $5 each ladies!" What happened next? No shit her lip quivered and she said "I'm sorry we don't have a lot of money". Way to feel/act like a cunt. Couldn't apologise or get out of there fast enough. The lesson? Don't ever help people.
Saturday began like almost every other - wake up after sleeping. First stop was the chiropractor. Different guy than usual which meant different technique. Great at the time, not so great the next day. Next was to the houses to begin a half day of labouring in quite warm weather. First up was the usual cutting and knocking holes in walls followed by digging and painting on a water sealer. Just about as messy a job as it gets but thankfully now out of the way. Spent the next couple of hours hanging around at home with friends and waiting for our roommates to depart for the airport before chaining self to the computer and working on this update.
Exercise is one thing that has sadly been missing from my life in recent months but now that everything has chilled they fuck out a tiny bit, the chance to squeeze in a coast walk was seized upon. Next it was home to shower and then off to a local swap meet. Really want to say it was a waste of time but I fucking love that shit because there are few more rewarding things than haggling with people over a dollar or two. T'was into the city afterward to pump some dim sum with friends. Haven't been for ages so the disappointment to find our favourite place closed for renovations was palpable. We begrudgingly trudged down to the old favourite place and tried to put the hurt behind us.
After a couple more stops we were home early afternoon where I set about a bunch of handyman tasks. The first was to fix a plastic shroud in my car, then replace the kitchen sink waste thingy followed by opening a bedroom door which was locked from the inside. The only strange yet overwhelmingly awesome part about these tasks was the fact they all went completely to plan. How many times does handymanning require multiple hardware store visits or end up as "will try again later" or get a professional to do it or whatever. Nope. All successfully completed in minimum time with minimum fuss. This means either 1) the universe has stopped spiting me temporarily or 2) my skills have reached an unprecedented level. The only problem with this is expectation because as all guys know, any girl you may happen to live with absolutely takes it all for granted. Anything that they may have broken or locked or disabled, magically fixes itself without any bother to them whatsoever.
And with that kiddies it is time to get on with the rest of the update. Far be it for me to unnecessarily pump anything up but this update is far, far beyond anything that would be considered exceptional. It's so good that you may lose yourself in a sort of hysteria and enter a place you won't want to come back from. So check it...

Little Jeremy was blind. One evening, his mummy put him on her knee and said "Jeremy, I have a very special surprise for you. Tonight, if you pray very hard, when you wake up, you'll be able to see". In great excitement, Jeremy stumbled upstairs, threw himself down next to his bed, and prayed his little heart out. "Please God, please, please, please give me sight. I'll be a good boy all the time, and I'll never use my eyes to look at naughty things or anything". The next morning, his mother is awakened by howls from Jeremy's room. She rushes into him. "What's wrong, son?" "I still can't see!" he wails. "Ha ha!" laughs his mum. "April fools!"
I was completely shocked this morning when my doctor told me I was colour blind. It came completely out of the green.
Thought I would surprise the post women this morning so I sneaked up to the front door and put my cock through the letterbox... don't know what surprised her the most, my cock or the fact I knew where she lived.
A frustrated wife buys a pair of crotchless panties in an attempt to spice up her dead sex-life. She puts them on, together with a short skirt and sits on the sofa opposite her husband. At strategic moments she uncrosses her legs... enough times till her husband says... "Are you wearing crotch less panties?" "Y-e-s" she answers with a seductive smile. "Thank God for that... I thought you were sitting on the cat".
Today's generation: Six year old boy to a four year old boy "Dude, I found a condom in the balcony". Four year old boy "What's a balcony?"

-Walt Disney died of complications of lung cancer on Dec. 15, 1966, before the first shovel of dirt was moved on construction of Disney World.
-Aged 16, Walt signed up for the army, but was rejected because he was too young. Instead he became an ambulance driver in World War I France.
-In 1971, when Walt Disney World opened, there were only about 5,600 rooms in the Central Florida area. By 1975, that number was well north of 22,000. Today, there are 22,449 rooms on property at Walt Disney World.
-'Man is in the forest' was a code used by animators to warn colleagues to get back to work when Walt Disney was coming down the hallway.

-Walt Disney World Resort is the largest consumer of fireworks in the United States purchasing over one million fireworks a year for their more than 1,000 firework displays per year.
-The theme parks use a patented 'Smellitzer' device designed to pump certain scents around. Whether it's a waft of sea salt in Pirates of the Caribbean, or vanilla in Main Street, your senses are constantly being played.
-Over 600 million guests have visited the most magical place on Earth since it opened in 1971.
-An estimated 1.65 million pairs of eyeglasses have made their way to Disney World's lost-and-found bins since 1971.

The weirdest things ever found... a glass eye, a prosthetic leg and a potty trainer - all of which were claimed.
-It's rumoured that Walt Disney had a phobia of mice. While this is hard to prove, it is a fact that his big-eared creation was named 'Mortimer', until his wife persuaded him that 'Mickey' had a better ring to it...
-The Disney Transport bus fleet consists of nearly 300 busses traveling along over 100 routes. In total, the entire fleets drives 15 million miles each year.

-A married couple from Boynton Beach, Fla., Alex and Donna Voutsinas, realised years later that they were coincidentally photographed together at Disney as children.
-Walt Disney's attention to detail was legendary. He placed the bins at Disney World 25 steps away from the hot dog stall, as this was how long it took him to eat a hot dog. You will never be more than 30 steps away from a trash can in any Disney theme park.
-The Walt Disney World resort is about the size of San Francisco, and only about 35 percent of its more than 27,000 acres has been developed.

-Mickey has more than 290 outfits, from a scuba suit to a lighted tuxedo. Minnie? She has more than 200, from cheerleading attire to evening gowns.
-Like air stewardesses, Disney Princesses have to fit a certain body type to work at the parks. While princesses are between 5'4" and 5'7", Tinkerbell, Alice and Wendy must be more petite - between 4'11" to 5'2". Oh, and you need to be a real spring chicken: 27 is considered over the hill.
-There is a tree farm on site so that when a mature tree needs to be replaced, a thirty-year-old tree will be available to replace it.
-Stretched end-to-end, the hats with Mickey ears sold at Disney World would span about 175 miles.
-Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was make-or-break for Disney, costing his studios $1.4m to make. It was widely derided as Disney's Ruin, by people subsequently proved non-psychic. Adjusted for inflation, it's one of the ten highest-grossing films of all time.

-Cinderella Castle is constructed of fiberglass not stone.
-The Animal Kingdom features more than 3,000 species in its 4 million trees and plants.

-Inside the upper levels of Cinderella's Castle is an apartment that Walt Disney intended to use when he and his family were in Florida. It was left unfinished when he died, until Disney announced in 2006 that it would be turned into a deluxe suite, which is awarded randomly to a family every day. It comes complete with 24-karat gold tile floors and a 'magic mirror' that turns into a television.

-The newest roller coaster at any of the Disney World parks, Expedition Everest at the Animal Kingdom (aka the Yeti ride) is the tallest of any of the parks' at just a shade under 200 feet. Space Mountain at 180 feet is puny by comparison.
-The audio-animatronic Mr. Potato Head went through several days of guest testing at Disney California Adventure Park prior to ride opening to ensure that he had a line for anything guests said.
-Ever notice the water tower wearing the giant Mickey ears at Disney's Hollywood Studios? If you made actual Mickey ears for it, the "Earffel Tower" would wear a size 342¾.
-It would take six hours of continuous riding to see all 50 ride combinations for Star Tours: The Adventures Continue.
-If you look closely at the mosaic mural on the fourth-floor lobby of Disney's Contemporary Resort, you can see a five-legged goat facing the monorail track.

-Disney World decorates more than 1,500 Christmas trees at holiday time.

-All of the straws at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park are made out of a special (semi-edible) paper that would not choke the animals if ingested.

-When Disney World opened, adult admission to the Magic Kingdom cost $3.50. Today it costs $85.

-Television shows were filmed at Disney's Hollywood Studios, too. "The Mickey Mouse Club" featured soon-to-be stars Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling and Christina Aguilera. No shows are filmed there today.
-Of the 27 Disney Resort Hotels on property, eight are Disney Vacation Club resorts meaning they consist solely of timeshares.

A dedicated Teamsters union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels. When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam "Is this a union house?"
"No" she replied "I'm sorry it isn't".
"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20" she answered.
Offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded "Why yes sir, this is a union house. We observe all union rules".
The man asked "And, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The girls get $80 and the house gets $20".
"That's more like it!" the union man said.
He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly attractive green-eyed blonde.
"I'd like her" he said. "I'm sure you would, sir" said the Madam. Then she gestured to a 92-year old woman in the corner "but Ethel here has 67 years seniority and according to union rules, she's next!"
Declan the humble crab and Kate the Lobster Princess were madly, deeply and passionately in love. For months they enjoyed an idyllic relationship until one day Kate scuttled over to Declan in tears.
"We can't see each other anymore?" she sobbed. "Why!?" gasped Declan.
"Daddy says crabs are too common" she wailed. "He claims you, a mere crab, and a poor one at that, are the lowest class of crustacean... and that no daughter of his will marry someone who can only walk sideways".
Declan was shattered, and scuttled sidewards away into the darkness and to drink himself into a filthy state of aquatic oblivion.
That night, the great Lobster Ball was taking place. Lobsters came from far and wide, dancing and merry making, but the lobster Princess refused to join in, choosing instead to sit by her fathers' side, inconsolable.
Suddenly the doors burst open, and Declan the crab strode in. The Lobsters all stopped their dancing, the Princess gasped and the King Lobster rose from his throne.
Slowly, painstakingly, Declan the crab made his way across the floor... and all could see that he was walking not sideways, but FORWARDS, one claw after another!
Step by step he made his approach towards the throne, until he finally looked King Lobster in the eye.
There was a deadly hush. Finally, the crab spoke...
"Fuck, I'm drunk"...

A man went to a urologist and told him that he was having a problem and that he was unable to get his penis erect.
After a complete exam the doctor told the man that the muscles around the base of his penis were damaged from a prior viral infection and there was nothing he could do for him. However, he knew of an experimental treatment that might work, if he were willing to take the risk. The treatment consisted of implanting muscle tissue from an elephant's trunk in the man's penis.
The man thought about it for a while. The thought of going through life without ever experiencing sex again was just too much for him to bear. So, with the assurance that there would be no cruelty or adverse effect on the elephant, the man decided to go for it.
A few weeks after the operation, he was given the green light to use his newly renovated equipment. As a result, he planned a romantic evening with his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in the city. However, in the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being extremely painful. To release the pressure, he unzipped his fly and immediately his penis sprang from his pants, went to the top of the table, grabbed a roll, then returned to his pants!
His girlfriend was stunned at first, but then with a sly smile on her face said: "That was incredible. Can you do that again?"
With his eyes watering, he replied: "I think I can... but I'm not sure if I can fit another roll up my arse".

When Jane initially met Tarzan of the jungle, she was attracted to him and during her questions about his life; she asked him how he had sex.
"Tarzan not know sex" he replied. Jane explained to him what sex was.
Tarzan said "Oh, Tarzan use hole in trunk of tree". Horrified she said "Tarzan you have it all wrong, but I will show you how to do it properly".
She took off her clothes and laid down on the ground. "Here" she said "you must put it here". Tarzan removed his loincloth, stepped closer, and then gave her an almighty kick in the crotch.
Jane rolled around in agony with tears flowing down her cheeks.
Eventually managed to gasp for air "What did you do that for?" "Tarzan check for bees".
A lawyer is driving in the middle of nowhere and his car breaks down. After waiting a while, a farmer walks over to the car. Discovering what the problem is, the farmer offers his home to the lawyer to stay for the night.
Later that night, the lawyer is in bed when the farmer's wife comes in his room. She wants to have sex with him. The lawyer says "No, your husband will wake up and catch us".
The wife replies "My husband is a heavy sleeper. He won't wake up, I promise". To prove it, she takes the lawyer into her room where her husband is naked, and tells the lawyer to pull one of the hairs on his ass. The lawyer does it and the farmer doesn't wake up.
The wife and the lawyer go back to the room and have sex. About 2 hours later, the wife comes back and wants more. The lawyer says once again "You're husband will wake up and catch us".
The wife says "I already told you, he's a heavy sleeper". She takes him in her room again. The lawyer pulls another hair on the farmer's ass and still the farmer does not wake up. So they go have sex again.
It's almost sunrise and the wife comes back again and wants to do it one more time before her husband wakes up. The lawyer says "It's almost sunrise, he's about to wake up".
The wife says "Let me show you one more time that my husband is a heavy sleeper". So they go back to her room and the lawyer pulls a hair on the farmer's ass.
Just then, the farmer turns around, looks at him and says: "You can fuck my wife as many times as you want, but don't use my ass as a scoreboard!"

Louie comes home from school on a Friday and is excited about the weekend and is looking for his parents to ask to ride his bike. He bursts into his parent's bedroom and sees them in a comprising position. Astonished he asks "What are you doing dad?" And the father replies "Well I'm playing poker, son". The son asks "Well what is mum doing....?" and the father replies "Well she's my wildcard!"
So on the next day (Saturday) he goes to his grandparent's house to mow the lawn. When he is finished he goes inside to get paid and walks in on his grandparents having sex. He asks "What are you doing grandpa?" and the grandfather says "Playing poker, sonny". Louie replies "What's grandma doing?" Gramps says "Well she's my wildcard!"
So on Sunday the family decides to go for a drive to get ice cream. When the father looks for his son he finds him in the bathroom jerking off and asks "Son what the hell are you doing?" The son then says "Well I'm playing poker". The father asks "Well where's your wild card?" Son replies "Who the hell needs a wild card when I got a hand like this!!?"
Two deaf people get married. During the first week of marriage, they find that they are unable to communicate in the bedroom when they turn off the lights because they can't see each other using sign language.
After several nights of fumbling around and misunderstandings, the wife decides to find a solution.
"Honey" she signs "Why don't we agree on some simple signals? For instance, at night, if you want to have sex with me, reach over and squeeze my left breast one time. If you don't want to have sex, reach over and squeeze my right breast one time".
The husband thinks this is a great idea and signs back to his wife "Great idea, Now if you want to have sex with ME, reach over and pull on my penis one time". "If you don't want to have sex, reach over and pull on my penis 100 times..."

Nothing brightens the winter holidays like music.
So with apologies to the original writers of these tunes, and to everyone whose sensibilities may be offended, I've adapted a few seasonal songs for our place and time. Please sing along.
White Christmas
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like Chicago used to know
When the streets were icy
And walks were dicey
And dog poop lay beneath the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Like on the Christmas cards I write
But our days are balmy and bright
And there's not a flake of snow in sight.
Let it Snow
Oh the weather outside is frightful
Cause the days are too delightful
We prefer it at 6 below
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
No, it doesn't show signs of chillin'
So we're beggin' old Tom Skillin'
Make the blizzardy winter blow!
Let it snow, let it snow, let snow.
O Come O Come, Emanuel
O come O come, O Rahm Emanuel
And save Chicago from financial hell
We fear our Windy City will go bust
But what's up with your infrastructure trust?
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Yes, Rahm, you are the man!
But must you be
So snooty 'bout your plans?
O come O come, O Rahm Emanuel
Must all our assets just be stuff to sell?
We know that you are king up on Five
But please don't tell the people "Hey, just drive"?
Rejoice, etc.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
There's Mel Reynolds and Adam (that's Blago's defender)
Hutchinson, Harris, so many pretenders
But do you recall?
The most famous dreamer of all?
Donne "The Cowboy" Trotter
Had a very shiny gun
Now says the po-lice blotter,
Donne's in a heap of dung.
Since all of Donne's rivals
Heard of how he packed his heat
All of poor Donne's rivals
Think they'll win poor Jesse's seat.

For Immediate Release-Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011
MAC Wrestler of the Week
Scott Mattingly, Central Michigan-Freshman, Uniontown, Ohio (Lake High School)
Central Michigan freshman Scott Mattingly picked up one of the biggest wins of his young career on Sunday to help the Chippewas secure a share of the Mid-American Conference championship. Mattingly rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to defeat Kent State's Chase Skonieczny, 3-2, providing three critical team points in Central Michigan's 20-14 win over Kent State. Mattingly tied the score with a reversal in the second period, then started the third period on top and rode Skonieczny for the entire two minutes to earn the decisive riding time point. Mattingly's victory helped Central Michigan secure a share of its 12th conference title in the past 13 seasons.
Additional Nominees:
Mark Lewandowski, Buffalo-Sophomore, Depew, N.Y. (Lancaster High School)
In the most critical match of Buffalo's 22-9 win over Northern Illinois Sunday, Buffalo sophomore Mark Lewandowski won a sudden victory overtime match with Bryan Deutsch, a two-time national qualifier who came in to the match ranked 21st in the country at 157 pounds by WrestlingReport.com. After trailing 2-1 following the first period, Lewandowski got busy in period two, earning two near fall points, a penalty point and an escape to pull the score to 5-5 going into the third period. Lewandowski escaped but Deutsch had riding time at the end of the period, forcing a sudden victory overtime period. Midway through the first bonus period, Lewandowski scored a takedown to earn the upset. He is now 28-11 for the season and wrapped up the MAC season with a perfect 5-0 record.
Nick Hendrick, Eastern Michigan-Senior, Columbiaville, Mich. (Powers Catholic High School)
Eastern Michigan senior Nick Hendrick went 1-1 on the week with a win over Ohio's Steve Wilson and a loss to Central Michigan's Eric Cubberly. After Wilson tied the score at 4-4, Hendrick responded with a late third period takedown and added one more point with riding time for good measure on the way to a 7-4 victory and gave the Eagles a 9-7 team lead at the time as well. The one match he lost was a narrow 4-2 decision to Eric Cubberly of Central Michigan.
Brad Dieckhaus, Northern Illinois-Junior, St. Charles, Mo. (Francis Howell Central High School)
Northern Illinois junior Brad Dieckhaus improved to 13-8 on the season after defeating Buffalo's Jimmy Hamel, 3-1. The victory was Dieckahaus' fourth straight and his sixth victory in his last eight bouts. He finished the regular season 4-1 in Mid-American Conference competition.
Ryan Garringer, Ohio-Freshman, Downers Grove, Ill. (Hindale South High School)
Ohio freshman Ryan Garringer had a stunning pin of Eastern Michigan's Khodar Holbollah in just 32 seconds Saturday to help the Bobcats (10-6, 4-1 MAC) to a 28-9 victory over the Eagles, clinching a share of the Mid-American Conference regular season title. The victory gave Ohio a 16-9 lead in the dual and kick-started three more Ohio victories to salt away the win.

ArisID: Open Source Development Software for Identity Management
Software called ArisID should allow developers to write protocol-independent applications that automatically incorporate identity management standards. The overall goal is to protect user data in a dependable and secure manner.
OpenLiberty.org was founded as an open collaborative in January 2007 for designing platform-independent products and services for identify management. Financing for the project was largely provided by the Liberty Alliance, with members including Sun, Novell, HP, Oracle, NEC and Intel. "From the user perspective as well as that of the deploying organization, it's an issue of who is trusted with what," according to the Alliance mission statement. With the new ArisID development software, the Alliance wants to provide programmers a tool with which they can build identity management standards right into their applications.
ArisID gets its name from ProjectAris, as in Aristotle. Its goal is to develop a common API for existing identity management technologies. A significant part of the work involves CARML (Client Attribute Requirements Markup Language), a proposed common language base for that purpose. The project promises for its first release that developers can rely on SQL databases and LDAP libraries for help. They hope then to extend functionality to Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Liberty Identity Web Services (ID-WSF), OpenID and the OASIS WS-Trust standard. The second core aspect of the ArisID API are the WS-Policy Privacy Constraints, Identity Governance Framework (IGF) standards defined by the Liberty Alliance in June 2008.
The standards are "atomic constraints on the use, display, retention, storage and propagation of identity data" and ensure that the identity management method used is truly relevant for the application.
Aristotle project leader and Oracle collaborator Phil Hunt will present ArisID in a comprehensive webcast on Thursday, December 11 at 8:00 AM Pacific time. Interested participants can register for the one-hour webcast here.

MAYOR Jed Patrick Mabilog of Iloilo City delivered his State of the City Address (SOCA) yesterday.
He discussed his 10-point agenda – which are all positive indicators of growth and development for "My City, My Pride."
As what other heads of government offices do, what appear in the paper are all good intentions. They are pro-people and for development and growth.
Problem is the implementation.
Good things and good plans are easier said than done.
It is at this juncture, however, that we beg and beseech the handsome mayor to be mature, not childish, not onion-skinned to criticisms – and to respect press freedom and the Fourth Estate as they do their duty to denounce, censure and condemn the abuses and excesses of other estates.
"The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with." – Eleanor Holms Norton, quoted in the New York Post
Do you agree, City Legal Officer Jun Jacela?
City Administrator Noli "dies-dies" laughing!

I make these grilled chicken quesadillas a lot for parties. If a big crowd is coming over the house, I fill the tortillas with the chicken and fold them a few hours ahead and stack them on a tray. As people arrive, I grill the quesadillas for about five minutes to melt the cheese and toast the tortillas. If you want to get a head start, you can always grill off some of the quesadillas and slip them into the warming rack, which is a convenient place to hold them. As guests arrive, serve the warmed sandwiches and finish grilling the rest for latecomers and anyone who wants seconds.–Jamie Purviance
Grilled Chicken and Red Onion Quesadillas Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 6
- For the paste
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 jalapeno chile pepper, stem removed
- 1 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- For the chicken quesadillas
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 8 ounces each
- 1 large red onion, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
- Four 10-inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup good-quality tomato salsa
- Make the paste
- 1. In a food processor, mince the garlic and jalapeno. Add the remaining paste ingredients and process until smooth. Coat the chicken breasts on all sides with the paste. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.

- 2. Lightly brush or spray the onion slices with oil. Grill the chicken and onions over direct medium heat until the chicken is opaque in the center and the onions are tender, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once.
- 3. Remove the chicken and onions from the grill and allow to cool. Cut the chicken crosswise into 1/8-inch slices and the onions into 1/4-inch pieces.
- 4. Evenly divide the chicken, onions, and cheese over half of each tortilla. Fold the empty half of each tortilla over the filling, creating a half-circle, and press down firmly.
- 5. Grill the chicken quesadillas over direct medium heat until well marked and the cheese has melted, 4 to 6 minutes, turning carefully once. Allow the quesadillas to cool for a minute or two before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with the salsa.

The double-elimination tournament gets underway at Noon on Wednesday when #4 Towson (25-28, 14-13 in CAA) faces #5 Northeastern (28-24, 12-15 in CAA), followed by #3 Delaware (33-20, 15-12 in CAA) against #6 James Madison (24-28, 11-15 in CAA) at 3:30 p.m. The losers of the first two games will meet in an elimination game at 7 p.m.
At Noon on Thursday, #1 UNCW (37-19, 18-8 in CAA) takes on the Towson/Northeastern winner, followed by #2 William & Mary (35-20, 17-10 in CAA) versus the Delaware/JMU winner at 3:30 p.m. Another elimination contest will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

William & Mary, which posted a best-ever second-place CAA regular-season finish, is making its first appearance in the CAA Baseball Championship since 2008. The Tribe pitching staff leads the conference with a 3.60 ERA and features several quality starters in senior John Farrell (10-2, 2.42 ERA), sophomore Jason Inghram (8-5, 2.53 ERA) and senior Brett Koehler (6-4, 4.12).

Pacing the Tribe offensively are first baseman Michael Katz (.367, 41 RBI), second baseman Ryan Lindemuth (.341, 35 RBI) and outfielder Ryan Brown (.325, 56 R).
Delaware has reached the CAA championship game three times, including a year ago, but is seeking its first CAA title.

UD also has a solid pitching staff with junior Chad Kuhl (10-2, 3.53 ERA) and senior Matt Soren (4-5, 3.62 ERA) topping the starting rotation and senior Stephen Richter (4-0, 3 saves, 1.66 ERA) closing games from the bullpen.
Towson reached the CAA title game in 2005 and 2008 but is looking to win the conference championship for the first time. The Tigers' defense leads the nation with 74 double plays and their .973 fielding percentage is the best in the CAA. Towson's top offensive performers are sophomore outfielder Peter Bowles (.352, 45 RBI), junior designated hitter Kurt Wertz (.335, 11 HR, 57 RBI) and junior outfielder Dominic Fratantuono (.327, 44 RBI). Senior Mike Volpe (7-3, 3.84) has been the Tigers' ace on the mound.
Northeastern returns to the CAA Tournament for the first time since 2009. The Huskies' pitching staff ranks second in the conference with a 3.62 ERA and NU is also second in fielding percentage (.967).

Arctic air will move in on Wednesday, dropping temperatures into the 30s by Wednesday afternoon and wind chills in the 20s. Thursday's highs will only reach the mid-to-upper 20s with low-to-middle 20s for highs on Friday.
In fact, below-freezing temperatures are likely from Thursday through at least next Tuesday.
The cold front bringing the arctic air will stall to south of Mid-Missouri and a developing storm system will drift into the region Thursday into Friday.
Light snow will be possible Thursday afternoon into Friday. For now, light snow accumulations of 1-3" will be possible for areas along and south of I-70.
Near I-44 earlier in day, there may be a brief mixture of sleet or freezing rain before changing to all snow by Thursday afternoon.
North of I-70, less than a half-inch is possible. Right now, up to 1" is possible in Columbia, with 2" expected for Jefferson City then 2-3" of snow near the Lake of the Ozarks and I-44.
With temperatures likely remaining steady in the 20s, the snow may stick to area roads.

Why would a company already fairly mature in terms of Lean philosophy implementation need to improve in these areas? Shifting business patterns and the technology associated with customers' products have driven a need for changes in continuous improvement focus.

The great sports rivalries give you all the passion of a street fight without that messy business of chains, knives and police interrogations afterward.
All these emotions come bubbling to the surface: rage, pride, joy, bitterness, etc.
And there's no better rivalry anywhere than the Ravens vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. Usually, it feels like the Hatfields vs. the McCoys, the Corleones vs. the Tattaglias and Ali vs. Frazier all rolled into one.
Except . . . somehow Sunday's game between the two at M&T Bank Stadium feels different this time around.
Part of that has to do with the Ravens' 9-2 record and their three-game lead over the Steelers in the AFC North.
Let's face it, you don't get the usual Armageddon-like buildup if one team can lose and simply shrug and say: "OK, no worries. We're still good. Where we going for beers?"
The other part has to do with how banged up the 6-5 Steelers are, especially at quarterback, where Ben Roethlisberger is nursing shoulder and rib injuries.
There were conflicting reports out of Pittsburgh Wednesday about whether the big guy would suit up this weekend.
In the span of two hours, one report said he would probably play, another said he was 50-50 and another said he was a definite scratch. So that was helpful.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was even more illuminating. In his conference call with the Baltimore media, he said of Big Ben: "He threw a little bit on Monday. He's scheduled to throw in some capacity today. We'll see where the week will take us."
What's amazing to me is that just two weeks ago, Roethlisberger's rib injury was being talked about as life-threatening.
The big guy was even quoted as being concerned about his top rib possibly puncturing his aorta if he was hit in the right place.
And now he might be OK to play?
What kind of wonder drugs are the Steelers giving this guy? He makes Terrell Suggs and Ray Lewis look like they were kicking back by the pool during their rehab assignments.
But when asked yesterday about Big Ben's injuries being "life-threatening," Tomlin said: "I never viewed it as such. I know there was talk about that. But I wasn't involved in that discussion."
In any event, it was business as usual for the Ravens yesterday as they got ready to face the team they beat 13-10 two weeks ago at Heinz Field.
I know this'll shock you, but the Ravens refuse to acknowledge — at least publicly — that this will be anything but the usual saloon brawl against their arch-rivals.
"Put records aside," Ray Rice said. "Put everything aside. They're still the Pittsburgh Steelers. Every year, the rivalry never changes. They are who they are."
Except . . . they're sort of not who they usually are. At least not right now.
Not if Roethlisberger can't go and they start third-string quarterback Charlie Batch, who is the equivalent of 72 years old in NFL years.
