The family prefers memorials be directed the Watonwan Co. Food Shelf, U of M Cancer Research or St. James High School in lieu of flowers.
You may send the family condolences online at www.sturmfh.com
Arrangements are with Sturm Funeral Home in St. James.
Dr. Roger Parsons passed peacefully early Monday, January 28, 2013, of cerebral hemorrhage. He was a patient at St. James Hospital on the street bearing his name. He was 85, most recently a member of the Prairie View Community in St. James. He is preceded in death by his wife Louise (1988), parents James and Edith Parsons, brothers Richard and Kenneth, sisters Patricia and Evelyn. Dr. Parsons is survived by children, Patty (Bob)Andersen, Margaret (Jon)Newberg, Susan (Mike) Brunson, Robert, Kathryn (Steve) Audette and Jay (Rick) Nordstrom.The city of St. James provided a safe place to raise his family which grew to 36 children, grand, and great-grandchildren.
St. James provided Dr. Parsons and his partner, Dr. Keith Moulton, a place to open their practice after they graduated from the University of Minnesota Medical School in 1955. In the beginning they chose St. James for its size and friendliness consequently forming deep relationships in the community. Patient trust followed their practice and enriched the life of Dr. Parsons.
Roger Parsons was born April 15, 1927, in Fargo, North Dakota. He was raised
in Redwood Falls and graduated high school there in 1945. He served in the Army until discharge in 1946. College and medical school followed at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. In 1950 Roger married Louise Montressor in Chicago, graduated medical school in 1953, and moved to St. James where he would live for the next 60 years.
Dr. Parsons enjoyed the support he received from the community serving as alderman and later, as mayor of the City of St. James. He was moved to state late in his life that, "The people in St. James are wonderful. It was
very satisfying to help take care of them. It's rewarding to know we contributed something to the community. They gave a lot back to us, too."
Dr. Parsons enjoyed an active life beginning with high school football and dancing at local ballrooms. Later he became an avid bike rider and enjoyed many summer outings with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at his lake cabin, swimming, picking strawberries, and various other activities.

Only two, really: the filibuster and the power of persuasion. And the filibuster—because it seems (and is) unfair and anti-democratic—will backfire unless people are persuaded that it is saving them from something really bad.
All that's left is a serious argument: Alito is simply too conservative.
So, how conservative is "too conservative"? Democrats like the phrase "outside the mainstream." They also like to emphasize that the next justice will be replacing Sandra Day O'Connor, an icon of swing-vote moderation. The notion is that presidents of all stripes are under some kind of vague, floating obligation to keep the court in ideological balance. This, unfortunately, is a party-out-of-power fantasy. There is no requirement of moderation in the abstract. President Bush needn't nominate a compromise candidate just to show he's a good sport.
First, conservatism can mean a deep respect for precedent and a reluctance to reverse established doctrines. All judges are supposed to be bound by precedent, and it's a bit of a mystery when and why they feel empowered to change course. But this meaning of conservatism is mainly advanced by liberals, who like the idea that conservatism itself will stay the hand of conservative judges in reversing great liberal precedents.Of course each of these liberal precedents—school desegregation, Miranda warnings, abortion choice, and so on—was a precedent-buster in its day, making the argument a bit hypocritical. But recent Supreme Court nominees have found that asserting a deep respect for precedent is a great way to reassure senators that they won't overturn Roe, whatever they might think of it on the merits, and whatever they actually intend.
Second, a conservative can mean someone who reads the Constitution narrowly and is reluctant to overrule the elected branches of government. Republicans have been waving this flag for decades, reverencing "strict constructionism" and the framers' "original intent" while condemning "activist" judges who are "legislating from the bench." It's not just that the conservative theory of constitutional interpretation is better than the liberal theory. It's that conservative judges have a theory, while liberal judges are just on an unprincipled power grab. This conceit is what allows President Bush to insist that he does not impose any ideological litmus test on judges, as long as they agree with him.
The third meaning of conservative as applied to judges is a conservative judicial activist: someone who uses the power of the courts to impose conservative policies, with or without the benefit of a guiding philosophy. A judge who preaches judicial restraint but practices activism would be a good example of how to be "too conservative." But so is a judge whose philosophy of restraint leaves injustices unrectified. Restraint isn't always good, and activism isn't always bad.

"The Republican counterargument will be…"
"Actually D), the most valid argument, is one you will never hear…"
"The other Republican arguments are laughable."
"A judge who preaches judicial restraint but practices activism would be a good example of how to be "too conservative." But so is a judge whose philosophy of restraint leaves injustices unrectified. Restraint isn't always good, and activism isn't always bad."
"[We] must "Bork" Alito…"
"Move on has materials to help."
"We must stop Alito at all costs."
"Pressure any Dem who threatens to cross party lines…vote against Alito or lose your fucking job."
"The Bush League is Evil and Clueless."
"Should I bother with the rest of your unexamined talking points? I don't think it would be worth the effort – I'd be putting in more effort and thought than you are willing to invest yourself."
"Congratulations Wally, you're going to find yourself on the end of a lawsuit and there is damn near nothing that you can do about it short of a formal signed, admission of fault delivered to me on your department letterhead by FedEx by Monday."

Reality star, author, and all-around hair guru, Tabatha Coffey, is here to break it all down for us. So without further ado, we are pleased to present Tabatha's top five picks on hair trends that are as flattering as they are cool. Source: Getty Bangs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you think of bangs, please don't flash back to your childhood. Bangs today are a great way to transform relatively boring hair into something that's interesting and modern. Just look at Rooney Mara and Taylor Swift. Rooney's very short, very square fringe gives her hairstyle an edgy, fashion-forward look, while Taylor's long, full, eye-grazing bangs make her look very grown-up and sexy. Whichever bang style you choose, just remember: the shorter the edgier, the longer the sexier. Source: Getty 1 / 5 Ombré Hair Color What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While not new, ombré hair color is still going strong — so strong that formerly platinum Gwyneth Paltrow has recently gone darker and more dimensional. Celeb trends aside, ombré is a great hair color option for the everyday woman because it's gradation, which mimics what the sun naturally does to hair. It requires minimal regrowth upkeep, allowing you to relax a bit and get more life out of your color. Source: Getty 2 / 5 Braids What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From the red carpet to the runway, it seems braids are having a major moment — and they should be. Braids are like an accessory for your hair: they make a statement, provide a great way to get hair off your face, plus help you look pulled together without looking too overdone. The only thing I caution is to make sure you choose a braid that's age-appropriate. If you're in your 20s or early 30s (or at least look like you are), you can wear anything and look really sweet and youthful (think Ariel Winter and Miley Cyrus). If you're older than that, I recommend staying away from braided crowns or anything that's too cutesy and Heidi-esque. Go for a sexier, messier side braid à la Nicole Kidman. Source: Getty 3 / 5 Red Color What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Red is everywhere right now, from strong, bright reds (Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, and Christina Hendricks) to soft, strawberry blonds (Jessica Chastain and Nicole Kidman). Think you can't pull off red? Think again! The great thing about red — aside from the fact that it makes hair look richer, shinier and more vibrant — is that there's a flattering tone of red for every skin tone. And you don't have to go all-out red. Just a little bit of warmth (say, chestnut red) added to your color can go a long way. Source: Getty 4 / 5 The Topknot What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nothing manages to be quite as polished and fresh as the topknot, which is like a cooler, more wearable chignon. For everyday wear, I prefer when it looks a little loose and haphazard (Nicole Richie is a perfect example). It should look like you just quickly pulled your hair into a rubber band before walking out the door, versus something that's very structured and formal (think: Jennifer Lopez on the Red Carpet). Also be careful as to where you place your topknot: a knot on the crown is usually more flattering than something that's set dead center on top of your head (like a sprouting plant).

Niagara Gazette — LOCKPORT — His lawyer said 20 years behind bars was too much time.
So on Tuesday, Darius "Drizz" Belton got a better deal from Niagara County prosecutors.
The Falls teen pleaded guilty to a single count of first-degree manslaughter and County Court Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said she would sentence him to 17 years in prison, with five years of post-release supervision. Prosecutors had actually offered Belton an even better deal, but the judge rejected that one.
"My understanding is you offered a 15-year (prison term) and the court said that wasn't enough." Farkas said in questioning First Assistant District Attorney Doreen Hoffman about the plea deal.
Belton, 19, 1666 South Ave., had been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in the shooting death of his uncle Luis Ubiles. Jury selection in his murder case had been set to begin later today.
Instead, prosecutors and Belton's defense team met with Farkas Monday afternoon and hammered out a deal. Belton could faced 25 years to life behind bars if he had been convicted on the murder and weapons charges.
Still, after his client took the plea deal. defense attorney Angelo Musitano said he was not happy with the outcome.
"I am not (happy). Absolutely not," Musitano said. "I thought there were some good (defense) issues here."
The veteran defense attorney had suggested that Belton may have shot his uncle in self defense. He also said he was prepared to to go to trial, but his client decided he wanted to take the plea offer.
"We had really agreed to 15 years (in prison), but the judge said she wouldn't give is that," Musitano said. "So this was second best I guess."
When Falls police responded to the shooting call in the 1600 block of South Avenue, just a few blocks from police headquarters on Sept. 25, they found Ubiles, 37, 1670 South Ave., with a single gunshot wound to his chest. He was lying in front of Belton's home when the officers arrived.

What's the difference between a fresh jalapeno and a pickled one? The heat of a pickled jalapeno is very subdued in comparison to a fresh one. Same goes for garlic, another recipe I've been meaning to post.
Why? If you really want to get all scientific on me you can read this blog post about osmosis and displacement (aka BLAH BLAH BLAH), but in general foods that are pickled are going to take on some change in flavor. That's the enjoyment you (or at least I) get out of pickling foods: opening up a jar to find an unexpected taste. I asked my friend Tamre to explain it and she said "hot pickling brine subdues normally pungent flavors." There you go.
You can probably put more jalapenos on your sandwich than you can fresh ones. Same with using pickled garlic. But whoever said that was a bad thing?
This is another recipe adapted from Food in Jars, but instead of using the unfancy recipe I added pickling spices and stuck with what she did for the brine. I figured that if I'll take the time to pickle it, I'm going to add some flavor. Why not?
Pickled Jalapenos
Makes 2 pints and 3 half-pints (because that's how many jars I had, can also make 3 pints and a half-pint)
- 20 jalapenos
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 Tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp black peppercorns
- 2 tsp allspice
- 2 tsp coriander seed
Sterilize your jars. In the mean time, prepare your brine by boiling the vinegar, water and salt in a medium-sized saucepan. Set aside.
Slice your jalapenos into rounds, roughly ½ inch thick. Leave the seeds in, it will help with the flavor. I suggest wearing some gloves – I didn't, and even though my hands didn't burn, I had to wash them several times with water and lemon juice because I knew I would have to take my contacts out eventually that night and I probably screwed myself into an eye-ache. Which totally happened.
Distribute peppercorns, allspice and coriander seed evenly across the hot, sterilized jars. Pack with the jalapenos as tightly as you can, and then pour the hot brine on top.
Seal your jars and process them in a boiling water bath for ten minutes. Let these jars sit for at least a week before opening so the flavors can marinate. Enjoy!

In order to meet that record demand we're going to be hiring hundreds of employees throughout the remainder of this year so we can make sure we can build a high quality product and deliver it to our customer on time."
Bartlett says production on the Boeing 737 and 787 lines are ramping up to record rates. The 737 now at the 38 a month rate will be at the 42 a month rate by the end of the year. The 787 Dreamliner will go from seven to ten planes a month soon.
Bartlett says the hiring needs include for mechanics, machine operators and quality inspectors.
He says the company is seeking qualified candidates with at least six months experience but will entertain those who have related skills which might be transferable with additional training.

Sleep complaints are extremely common in fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Central to these illnesses is "unrefreshing" sleep – not feeling rested no matter how much sleep you get.
Poor sleep may be a symptom of FMS or ME/CFS, sleep disorder(s) or a combination of both. Some doctors believe that treating sleep complaints can cause significant improvement in other symptoms. Inadequate sleep can also make your symptoms worse.
To help you better understand sleep and sleep problems, I've compiled some articles from About.com Sleep Guide Brandon Peters, M.D., who has extensive experience with sleep disorders and has a sleep fellowship at Stanford University, considered the world's leading training program for sleep-disorder medicine.
Basics of SleepWhen you research sleep problems, it helps to know some basic information and terminology, such as what the different sleep stages are. Find that information below, along with a look at how much sleep is normal and the symptoms of sleep deprivation. You'll be better able to gauge whether you're getting enough sleep.

Sleep Disorder BasicsWhen most people think about sleep disorders, insomnia is first and foremost on their minds. It's a common problem, but it's far from the only one out there. Here's some basic information about sleep disorders, including 10 symptoms to watch for.

Diagnosing Sleep DisordersDiagnosing sleep disorders isn't as simple as, say, reviewing the results of a blood test. Along with a look at diagnostic procedures, these articles can help you find the right sleep doctor for you. By keeping records of your sleep patterns, you'll learn how to help your doctor diagnose your condition.

Possible Misdiagnoses
Fatigue and lack of energy are symptoms that a lot of conditions have in common; doctors face a real challenge when tracking down their source. Depression (which is common in people with FMS and ME/CFS) is sometimes diagnosed when it's actually a sleep disorder causing problems.
Likewise, narcolepsy and ME/CFS can have a very similar appearance to your doctor. At least one study has recommended testing for narcolepsy before diagnosing ME/CFS.
Sleep Disorders in Children
Some doctors believe that chronic sleep deprivation from sleep disorders may lead to FMS or make people predisposed to developing it. Because we know FMS can run in families, it's possible that early identification and treatment of sleep disorders could help protect our children's future health.
These articles can help you recognize and understand sleep problems in children:

- Children's Behavior & Sleep Problems
- Sleep Problems & Children's Development
The Importance of Sleep
If you have one or more sleep disorders, a number of treatment options are available to you. Medications may be the first choice for many. But did you know that several devices, including machines, and even surgery are sometimes used? A lot of alternative treatments work for some people.
Brandon has extensive information on different types of treatment:
The Importance of TreatmentWhen you have a fatiguing illness, it may seem useless to treat sleep disorders. However, it's important to remember that having an untreated sleep disorder will make your other conditions worse.
Sleep disorders can also be hazardous to your overall health, with some causing high blood pressure and even raising your risk of stroke and heart disease.
If you suspect you have a sleep disorder, it's important to talk to your doctor so you can be accurately diagnosed and treated.

WAPOA volunteers will once again have our educational exhibit.
WAPOA Volunteers Provide
Invasive Species Education at Antique Boat Show- 2013
- More than ten thousand people walked by the WAPOA exhibit at the entrance to the docks. Many stopped to talk to the WAPOA volunteers.
- The WAPOA volunteers provided information about measures that one can take to prevent invasive species.
- At present the Whitefish Chain does not have Eurasian water milfoil nor does it have the invasive zebra mussel.
- Other WAPOA volunteers were at critical accesses doing inspections of boats entering the water and also educating boaters.
- WAPOA's efforts to prevent invasive species are not limited to the day of the boat show.
- Cooperative effort involving WAPOA, the MN DNR, and Crow Wing County has resulted in 4 full-time trained access inspectors this summer for the Whitefish Chain. The Whitefish Chain has at least 7 busy public accesses.
- WAPOA volunteers are also spending the summer getting essential printed information about prevention of invasive species directly to boaters at boat accesses.
WAPOA President Dave Fischer discussing water quality in the Whitefish Area with visitors at the WAPOA exhibit.
Almost everything WAPOA does is concerned with water quality. WAPOA has an extensive water quality monitoring program.

I just love this idea, where can I purchase the stand? I'm also hosting the monster high theme party for my daughter.
hello Lupe, I had it made, they charged me about 16 dlrs, but I am sure you can get the material to do it yourself, at michaels or home depot,
Thank you for the info, but I'm not a very crafty person and I don't have the patience either. If you don't mind, I would like to order it from the person who made it. I don't mind paying the $16.
What a great party!!!! My daughter wanted a Monster High party and finally decided she wanted to bowl too. :) Where did you get the sign? Thank you for the inspiration!
thank you,, i got the tags and banner from mkr creations you can find them on fb too mkrcreations.com

Ward, C.D. and Parker, C.M and Shackleton, C.M. (2010) The use and appreciation of urban green spaces: the case of selected botanical gardens in South Africa. Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 9 (1). pp. 49-56. ISSN 1618-8667
The use and appreciation.pdf
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2009.11.001
There are few formal studies on the contribution of botanical gardens as urban green spaces, particularly within developing countries. Therefore, this paper reports on an assessment of the use and appreciation of botanical gardens as urban green spaces in South Africa. Users and staff were surveyed in six national botanical gardens. The gardens provided numerous benefits in terms of conservation, education and recreation. However, the people using the gardens were not demographically representative of the general population of the surrounding city or town. Generally, most of the visitors were middle- to old-aged, well-educated professionals with medium to high incomes. Most were white and English was their home language. There was an even gender representation. Most visited only a few times per year. The majority of users visited the gardens for recreation and psychological reasons rather than educational ones. However, the staff of each garden placed emphasis on education in the gardens and amongst surrounding schools. Most visitors appreciated the conservation dimensions of botanical gardens, and felt that there was insufficient public green space in their town or city. Understanding how people perceive and use the botanical gardens of South Africa is important to inform future research and strategies regarding the conservation of urban green space within a developing country.

It caught him as funny.
Local resident Matt Prokop, on his WhoSay.com account overheard on Monday, two women talking about marijuana at a Studio City cafe.
He posted it, and Tweeted it, and #stonergrandmas became a quickly trending topic. Of course, many people said, "Only in California."
Not only is Studio City a primary stop for medical marijuana, the strip along Ventura Bouelvard has more thancombined. And, in fact, Studio City is working on how to control the number of pot shops there are in the neighborhood.
Not surprising that people of any age are talking about it.
We reposted Matt's photo only because the woman is not quite identifiable. However, she may be with that jacket.

We have been talking about M2M for more than a decade, but like any great invention it takes time for the consuming public to embrace it. It's funny, I am reading more and more articles from other journalists and news media that are finally starting to catch on. In fact, I read an article the other day in which the author said, "….one development that seems likely to be big is the Internet of things. In a sense, that's a certainty: it is based on the idea that billions of objects will be networked together, and so it is defined by a scale beyond the current Internet."
The good news, or should I say great news for all of us who get it, is that it appears M2M is finally gaining some traction and as a result, it's party time. Or maybe I should really be saying it's time to get serious about developing applications for connected devices.
The difference now is that this new connected world is getting an extra shot in the arm with the recent announcement of IBM and Eurotech—which have been working on a open source code since 1999—have agreed to donate their source code to Sierra Wireless and Eclipse Foundation, making this protocol ready for prime time and tossing it into the public domain.
Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit member organization supported by the open-source community with the sole purpose of building open-development platforms and frameworks. I think this is a very smart move on their part for giving the industry the kick in the pants it needs. If executed properly, M2M should now be propelled forward much like we witnessed a plethora of applications for the Android smartphone emerge almost overnight. Now we have a chance to see this common standards body help new applications emerge for M2M devices with the same enthusiasm and excitement. This will really inspire developers to partner and create a standards body to propel the development of common standards and common goals for the industry.
IBM and Eurotech have been working with MQTT as the core publish/subscribe protocol for low-powered networked sensors and other devices all communicating data across TCP/IP. The real sticking point among some developers and vendors is whether the protocol to be used should be HTTP. The point in question is that it means that it can publish and the other side can subscribe—however, it doesn't have to establish a sustained connection to interact. Therefore, the data collection in the field can prove to be unreliable or low-bandwidth connection in and of themselves can become dependent on battery power. As a result they can publish when they're ready, if a connection is available, and then power down.
I think this comes at a very critical juncture to get companies to embrace what the industry has been preaching for years. It's time the industry rallies as one voice. For too long now the industry has been fragmented with too many TLAs/FLAs (three/four letter acronyms) or just trying to one up each other, rather than trying to band together to build an community to serve a common good. Connecting our world means solving real problems. Not creating confusion. M2M is the underlying technology that serves the various businesses and products we use every day.
It's really that simple. Nokia tried to unite the OEMs, network providers, and developers many years ago, but failed. It failed because companies didn't understand that they needed to unite on a common standard. They needed to set aside egos to solve real-world problems to bring applications to market that solve problems rather than constantly reinventing solutions that didn't impact societies true needs and wants.
By making this source code open to the entire industry you are encouraging rapid growth and tearing down the bearers of incompatible platforms and protocols. So, after more than a decade of observation, I'd say it's party time.

The vacation of a lifetime!
No, not an advertisement.
We are going to Disneyland for the first time next April (2013). We have a wonderful 15 days to be at DLR.
This will probably be our one and only trip there.
I have researched all over the internet for as much information as I can get. So much to know it's hard to digest and know just what to do with it. I felt it was time to speak with some Disneyland experts.
Right now we think our best bet might be to call the Disney Travel Company and book 15 days in a hotel and 2 6-day park hopper tickets. I would call because you can't book this online.
What do you all think?
There are 4 of us. Myself, DH, and twin DS-5 (who will be celebrating their 5th birthday at the park).
We will be driving in, so need no airline information. Our whole vacation is 23 days...15 at DLR, 3 in San Francisco, 2 in Willow Creek visiting relatives, and 3 driving round-trip from Iowa.
We want every character meal and as much eating in the park as we can as long as the food is at least tasty, if not the best. We're piggies with food. lol
The boys want to meet every character they can. These boys are most excited to meet Buzz and Tinkerbell. We want to see every show, etc.
You have the chance to plan the ultimate Disney vacation. What would you do? Also any tips, lesser known activities, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance!

Welcome to the boards!
Personally I prefer to book everything myself. It might be a bit more time consuming, but I feel I've got greater control over everything and usually get a better deal.
Usually I research and decide on one aspect at a time. That way it's not so confusing.
Have you looked into annual passes instead of 2 6 day passes? This might work out cheaper for you, especially if you consider the discounts you can get with them.

I also tend to book everything myself. Annual passes are worth looking at in your situation. I assume you'll be staying on property, so you'll get all the Magic Mornings (NICE!!!!!) while you are there.
Did I mention how jealous I am? Oh I am, but in a good way! You are going to have so much fun!

Iowa too!
We're in Iowa too and driving to DL next June! Our plan is to drive through Utah to see the canyons there, then spend just 2.5 days at Disneyland, then visit the Grand Canyon on the way home. Wish we had the vacation time and funds to spend as much time as you are. Congratulations on your trip of a lifetime!!

As much as I love DLR, I can't imagine spending 15 days there and 12 at the parks. Especially with 5 year olds who can't do all the rides. I'm just saying that is a lot of time and I suspect 6 days at the parks will be more than enough for your family - even on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
So since you are posting here looking for input, and you have a lot of time to plan before April, consider branching out and doing other things.
Best of luck to you!

I love Disneyland, but I too wonder if that is a bit more time than you would need just at the DLR. I would maybe go with 7 or 8 days (yes, 7 and 8 day tickets are obtainable; there are explanations on these boards of how to get them). You will still be able to take everything slow and take in as much as possible and feel settled in one base location for a good stretch of time. You might then consider looking for some other fun things to do with the 4 or 5 other days. With kids that age, Legoland is a good option for one day. It's about an hour's drive from DLR if the traffic isn't bad. There are a lot of rides suitable for kids that age, and the Lego theming is very cool. Also, does your family enjoy museums? There are quite a few to choose from. My boys love the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana which is only a few miles away. If you are sports fans, you may be able to find a game to go to. Hockey season will be wrapping up and baseball season will be starting. If you want to drive further, you could catch basketball or soccer in the L.A. area. San Diego is 90 miles from Anaheim. A bit of a drive but might be worth it if this is a once in a lifetime experience. Just wanted to give you some ideas to think about. You may still decide that 12 days at DLR is perfect for you. Whatever you end up doing, have fun planning and enjoy the trip.

Six-day park hoppers should be plenty of time to do all that you want to do in DLR at that time of year.
If I were you, I would definitely go to San Diego, to the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. If your boys like animals, they will love both places. And San Diego is a beautiful city.

I love DLR, but to me 15 days is a WDW trip, not a DLR trip. I could easily spend 15 days at WDW and be absolutely thrilled about it! We usually spend 8 days there and always leave wanting to stay longer. We usually spend 4 days at DLR, and I could see myself liking a nice slow pace and a few more days there, but not two weeks. I'm with those who say 7-8 days at DLR and then I would move south and spend the rest of the time exploring the San Diego area (that is usually where we spend the second half of the week). If not that, you could stay in the DLR area and keep that as your base, but only spend 7-8 days in the parks, and the rest of the time exploring things in the LA area. I am jealous that you get to spend basically as much time as you want at DLR!!!

I agree with previous posters - 15 days will likely be overkill. Many people say 4-5 days works for them. We go for 6 days because we have to take things slow and take lots of breaks. For us, 6 days allows for time at the hotel and taking in all of the shows.
I also agree with the suggestion to head to SD. The beaches are nice, and there are lots of fun areas to explore. If your kids like museums, I'd suggest heading to Balboa Park. http://www.balboapark.org/ There are lots of different things to do in a concentrated area.

I would drop some of the DLR time as well.
You are driving past some awesome places.
On the way, stop at Yosemite for 2 nights, then San Fran for 3, followed by your Willow Creek.
Do DLR for one 6 day pass...that may even be too much...I don't know.
Then either drive down to San Diego and do Seaworld, the Zoo, Legoland.
Or drive to Utah and visit all of the amazing National Parks.
You could even do Yellowstone on the way to Cali.

We had always done 5 days in the parks in the past. Usually about the 4th day we have done and seen everything so many times that we are ready to head home.
I do remember walking thru tomorrowland and overhearing a large family talking about this being their 12th day and they were leaving the next day.

I would personally get a longer pass than 6 days, stay near DL and do a combination of day trips and DL. I think Legoland is a must-we are excited to check it out with our kids this year. Do a day at the beach, then come back and watch the fireworks that night. We did a week at DL a few years back and I would've been happy to have more time .

I agree with PP that it may be overkill. I think a week would give you plenty of time to do it all, while taking many breaks. Are you staying onsite? That would be my first suggestion. I know most people think the motels across the street are suitable and they are, but if this is your dream vacation, stay onsite. I would suggest either the DLH or GCH...they are both lovely and keep you immersed in the Disney magic. PPH is okay, but I don't like crossing a major street. Disney is my escape and I don't want to see a car my entire trip (except when I'm on the Monorail and pass Harbor Blvd).
Food, it's good, but not great for what you spend. We really like the options in Downtown Disney and the hotels. Gives us a break and a chance for a cocktail. During dinner hours they have balloon artists, always a hit.
With that much time, you will be able to meet all the characters. We've done it one day, which made the kids happy and us happy that we didn't have to "waste" a good chunk of our trip.
See all the shows. Billy Hill and the Hillbillies have entertained my family for over 20 years and we're still not tired of them.
Spend a whole afternoon on Tom Sawyer's Island. Let your boys run wild and you get a nice break in the shade.
Spend a good part of a day in Mickey's Toontown. This is the one place my kids love but we always cut it short because we feel we're wasting too much time and missing out.
If you stay onsite, have a pool day. We haven't done the Monorail slides at the DLH, but fully intend to in Nov. The kids can't wait. Also I think they offer scavenger hunts...that would be a fun way to spend part of your day.
Character meals. We love Goofy's and Ariel's (not just because we have girls, but it's really good food). Minnie's is fun for character interaction. Is it Surf's Up at the PPH? I may skip that one....but then again, I've never had that many consecutive days.
If you do enjoy a cocktail, head over to Trader Sam's (inside) at DLH and order one of the 3 specialty drinks in the souvenir glasses. You get to keep a cool glass and your kids will be entertained with a quick little show. And they have great appetizers.
If you are considering cutting down the DL days and will be in SF, I highly recommend a trip to Yosemite. My DH had never been until 6 years ago and now it is a must yearly trip for the family. There's no where else like it. April has the potential for bad weather, but it wouldn't hamper your trip and the waterfalls would be flowing big time.
Have an amazing time!!!

This trip sounds INCREDIBLE!!! You are going to have an amazing time, and I am very happy for you. However like previous posters I would like to suggest to you as an option only, to look into other alternatives about day trips to Legoland or even San Diego Zoo, Sea World, etc. to break up your Disneyland days and give you a break. I wouldnt want you to overwhelm yourself and feel later that you may have missed out on other things that are fun. Even a dinner out to a fun family place like "Medieval times Dinner and tournament" Or "A Pirates Dinner", where you are entertained with a show as you have dinner, could break up your day nicely and give you something other then Disney to look forward to.
From my own experiences, my family (Adults only), we go to Disneyland each year for 10 days, and we always get 8 day hoppers. However we cover both parks in 4-5 days and feel that we missed nothing. After 3 or so days (and this feeling starting on the first trip we ever made to Disney), we felt like we needed a change of scenery and are ready to have a day doing something non Disney related. So a day at San Diego Zoo, or Sea World, a day in LA, Venice Beach, Santa Monica or even a day shopping have always been enjoyed. However having an 8 day pass to Disneyland allows us to go back to the park when we are ready to see things a few more times before we head home.
So I would kindly suggest to do a bit of research on other excursions and keep an open mind as an alternative only. Your trip sounds amazing and I want you to feel you thought of every possibility to maximize your awesome experience.

Indecision Internationale 2010: The Top Five Ways to Lose a General Election in the U.K.
There's nothing quite like making a gaffe in an election campaign. The off-the-cuff, not thoroughly-thought-through comment that gets picked up by the press and then swirls around the media impervious to all efforts to be put back in the box. But how can you make the best gaffes to guarantee the best headlines? Here are a few examples to follow…
5. Declare War Before You're Even Prime Minister
David Cameron — leader of the Opposition — expressed in leadership debates a desire to retain an independent nuclear arsenal because, "We don't know what is going to happen with Iran, we can't be certain of the future in China?" Because yes, that's what you want to do in an election campaign, suggest that you may want to go to war with a big emerging superpower that happens to have a hundred more warheads than you? The story of David and Goliath usually goes the other way in real life.

Indecision Internationale 2010: Taking a Dump on Nick Clegg
Last week I mentioned that as a result of Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg's storming performance on the live televised Leader's Debate (if only as a result of him not being leader of the Conservatives or the Labour Party) that the knives would be out for him.
And with the second leadership debate on air tonight in the UK, that prediction had proved correct.
Most of the main newspapers in Britain are conservative ones — and conservative in the way that make Fox News look like Air America. And, today, all the front pages of all these newspapers, selling millions of copies across the country, have been going to war with Nick Clegg. Waking up to them, his wife might as well have tipped his breakfast in bed over his head (including the scalding coffee) as hand him the papers.
Old warhorse, The Daily Mail led with a front page splash "Clegg Nazi Slur on Britain" and referred to an eight-year-old newspaper article it had unearthed in which Clegg talked of Britain, saying: "A misplaced sense of superiority, sustained by delusions of grandeur and a tenacious obsession with the last war, is much harder to shake off. We need to be put back in our place." That, however, wasn't good enough for The Mail. It unloaded two further barrels into the Clegg camapign, first alleging that Clegg had accepted payments from donors for his own personal bank account to pay towards a researcher, and then that Hilary Stephenson — Mr Clegg's campaigns and elections director — was responsible for encouraging expenses scams.

Jon Stewart Schools the UK on Elections
Evidently there's an election going on in England right now and they're trying to import some tactics from the US. But as Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, the Brits have a long way to go if they want to truly capture the pure uncut shamelessness of American politics. Still, the British have made a lot of progress (with a long "O" sound) since the days not long ago when all elections were decided solely by monocle size.

Indecision Internationale 2010: Open for Debate
Yesterday I wrote that Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrat party in the UK was a nobody.
That was yesterday. Today he is a somebody.
That's because, last night, the UK held its first-ever live televised debate between leaders of the main political parties. Before last night, it was only ever going to be between the incumbent Gordon Brown and the Leader of the Opposition, David Cameron. Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats was political padding.
It was a strange day in many ways — earlier a large cloud of volcanic ash had begun to cover the country, grounding all planes. David Cameron couldn't have flown up to the debate even if he'd have wanted to. Still, a lot of hot air covering the country wasn't anything new when it came to politicians. And north they went, to the TV studio that makes Britain's biggest soap opera, Coronation Street, to play their own version of The Weakest Link. No Anne Robinson sadly, she's clearly undergoing surgery for her wink getting out of control.
But over the course of the debate, a nation who hadn't really given Nick Clegg a vague approximation of the hour — let alone the time of day — sat up and thought "A plague on both those houses; let's have the fellow with the floppy fringe." He received a massive mandate from the audience, whether it was his declaration to remove all income tax from the lowest paid and dumping it on the highest or that he didn't want to abandon immigration all together, who knows.
Although, that he seemed to be a normal guy set against a lumpen, drooling golem interested in army facts and figures on one side and a plastic mannequin who told us he'd met a teenager, a black man and a woman just that day on the other probably didn't hurt.
And no one liked Gordon Brown. We saw the after-debate commentary, with shots of audiences for the first time using those little wheels to express approval or disapproval. And every time Gordon spoke, those wheels hit the floor. It was quite comic.
Gordon insisted that only he could solve the economic problems. Despite also admitting that he helped cause them. He seems to be taking a "I broke it, I bought it" approach. David Cameron started off by apologising for the expenses scandal that rocked the country, though no one it seemed had asked him to, which made you wonder — like one would with a child who becomes oddly petulant when an adult walks into the room — what else he was hiding. And his face shone on camera so much that I swear I saw lens flare. Oh, and he also wanted to scrap methadone treatment for heroin addicts.
Against these freaks, Nick Clegg looked okay. And now, it's the day after and people are talking about Nick Clegg as an actual Prime Ministerial candidate as opposed to an afterthought. He might even win something. His rivals are taking him seriously. That we know very little about him probably helps. If nothing else, this debate has given the tabloid newspapers an excuse to delve into his past. Maybe even dig up one or two of those thirty ex-lovers of his…

Indecision Internationale 2010: Cameron and On and On and On
The idea that world leaders might be educated at some of the world's finer institutes of higher education had, at one time, been considered a good thing. But the likes of George Bush put a stop to that.
Now, we like our leaders to be, if not quite as dumb as shit, at least smeared across the face with said shit, preferably from a muddy rural field away from any suspicious higher spires of learning. In the US, this is an exercise in anti-intellectual snobbery that Pol Pot would have been proud of. In Britain, it's not the anti-intellectual aspect, but the class issue.
As it happens, David Cameron — Leader of the Opposition, head of the Conservative Party and prospective Prime Minister of Great Britain — went to Eton. A private school (known as a "public" school in the UK, in that anyone can go there — if they've got the money) of the higher order, which has taught more prime ministers and cabinet members than any others, along with its fair share of archbishops, bankers, newspaper editors and business directors. And for a time, that was fine. Now, however, it's not.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the stately manors of England and picnics we used to have on the grounds at Chatsworth.
All of these memories were roused because I was asked to teach a cooking class at Sweet Gourmet in Tyler that was all about an English Countryside Picnic.
The class was on Thursday and, while preparing, it took me back to the days of filling picnic baskets for family outings, summer fun on the English countryside and the flavors associated with those memories.
I found an interesting correlation between American and English food. At American picnics and cookouts you almost always see deviled eggs, but at an English picnic the quintessential item is the Scotch Egg.
What is a Scotch Egg? If you ask an Englishman it's the perfect combination of meat, egg and breading – it could be a meal, in itself. Deviled eggs are ladylike and lovely, but a Scotch Egg is perfect for a picnic or with a pint of beer at the pub.
The eggs are almost hard-boiled. It is important to take them off the stove before they're completely hard-boiled because they will cook again in the fryer. Otherwise, an overcooked Scotch Egg is a bit reminiscent of a tennis ball. Who wants to eat a tennis ball?
The egg is then cooled, peeled and wrapped in a thin layer of ground sausage. It's then breaded and fried.
Served with English pickles, pickled vegetables or Colman's mustard and this is what the English call "proper", which in British terms is the ultimate compliment to whatever you're serving.
Give this recipe a try. I know you'll love it and feel transported to an English countryside across the pond.
Scotch Eggs
with Pickles
6 large eggs
1/2 pound of ground Italian Sausage
1 tablespoon coarse mustard
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 cups flour
2 cups panko breadcrumbs

JERUSALEM — Hello, is Yasser Arafat in?
Israel's telephone company inaugurated direct-dial service to 10 Arab countries Thursday, ignoring protests from some Arab governments that they should agree by treaty before such direct links are opened.
JERUSALEM — Hello, is Yasser Arafat in?
Israel's telephone company inaugurated direct-dial service to 10 Arab countries Thursday, ignoring protests from some Arab governments that they should agree by treaty before such direct links are opened.
The list includes Lebanon and Jordan, both of which border Israel, as well as the oil-producing states of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
Rounding out the list are Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, whose capital, Tunis, is the site of the headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization. (It would be illegal to ring up PLO chief Arafat because the law forbids Israelis to have any contact with him or his organization.)
Until Thursday, direct service to an Arab country existed only with Egypt, with which Israel has a peace treaty. For several years, a private company had offered communication to other Arab states through Britain.
The decision to open the direct links was made six months after Bezek, Israel's telephone company that is mostly owned by the state, first requested permission. Bezek argued that it should be allowed to cash in on the demand for the service from Arabs who are citizens of Israel and Palestinians.
Politically, the government of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir has insisted that normalization of relations with Arab countries should not depend on Israel's surrendering the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights, all of which were won in the 1967 Middle East War. The Palestinians want Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza, while Syria wants to recover the Golan Heights.
When the issue first arose, government officials put it in the context of Middle East peace talks. The Communications Ministry, which approved the action, declined Thursday to comment on the political implications.
Bezek was being coy.
"Why not have direct dial?" asked Dani Ezer, the company spokesman. "We can call everyone else. Why not the Arabs?"
Ezer declined to say just what satellites and cables are in use to make the calls.
Presumably, most of the calls will pass through international communications satellites, and protesting Arab countries could not block incoming direct-dial calls from Israel without also short-circuiting their satellite links with other countries.
Israel Radio treated the new connection as a major novelty and tried out a few numbers.
"Hello?" said a reporter calling a hotel in Qatar. "I'm calling from Jerusalem, from Israel Radio. I'm calling because we just inaugurated a line to several Arab states."
"It's OK. It's clear," a man at the other end said.
"Is this a good thing?" asked the reporter cheerily.
"Very, very nice," the man said.

|Seahawks Top Phoenix, 10-7, In Baseball
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Drew Farber homered and knocked in four runs as UNCW raced to an early 8-0 lead before holding off long-time rival Elon late for a 10-7 win on Tuesday at Brooks Field.
With the win, UNCW improved to 20-19 and moved above .500 for the first time since beating Liberty on Feb. 23 to go to 4-3. The Phoenix dropped to 25-16 with the road loss and stand at 3-8 away from Latham Park.
Sophomore reliever Jared Gesell (1-0) picked up the win, the first of his career, allowing an unearned run on one hit in 2.2 innings out of the bullpen. Senior Christian MacDonald recorded the four-out save, retiring all four batters he faced. It was his first career save.
Elon starter Mike Krill (1-1) took the loss after allowing six runs on seven hits in 2.1 innings.
Joe Bertone scored three runs while Farber scored twice and drew two walks. His three-run homer in the second inning was the first of his season and second of his career against the Phoenix.
Up next: The Seahawks visit NC State for a 6 p.m. start on Wednesday before traveling to Delaware for a key Colonial Athletic Association series beginning on Friday at 3 p.m.
How it happened: UNCW got out to an 8-0 lead after three innings. Farber's three-run shot in the second capped a four-run frame and the Seahawks took advantage of four walks, a hit batter and three wild pitches to take a commanding 8-0 lead.
Inside the box score: UNCW plated three runs on three wild pitches in the second inning and drew seven walks … The Seahawks were 4-for-8 in RBI opportunities … UNCW was 0-for-7 with two out and 1-for-8 when leading off innings … Seahawk pitchers held Elon to 2-for-8 hitting in RBI chances.
Notes: 8-of-9 hitters in the UNCW starting lineup had a hit with no one posting a multi-hit game … Nick Monroe made it through 4.2 innings but wasn't able to get the final out to qualify for the win … Casey Golden pushed his on-base streak to a season-long 13 games with a leadoff single in the first … Corey Dick also reached double figures with 10 consecutive games of reaching base safely … Elon's Casey Jones saw his 26-game hitting streak come to an end, going 0-4 … UNCW snapped a modest three-game skid to the Phoenix with the win and earned a split of the home-and-home series.

The Flute Sonatas of Albert Jacob Steinfeld
Albert Jacob Steinfeld (1741-1815) is a figure who has almost vanished from musical history. Luckily for flutists, two collections of his rewarding sonatas for flute and continuo survive until our day. Steinfeld was born on June 4, 1741 in Hamburg, a city with a very active musical culture – Georg Philipp Telemann had arrived to become Kantor of the Johanneum Latin School, and director of five churches there in 1721, and remained there until his death in 1767, when he was succeeded by his godson, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, in 1768. He is said to have been a capable keyboardist and highly educated musician. He was appointed organist in Archangel (then as now a Russian port where the River Dvina enters the White Sea, a bay leading to the Barents Sea, in the Arctic), presumably at the Lutheran Church of St. Catherine, built in 1768, and still standing. After leaving for a one-year stay in St. Petersburg, he returned to become organist in Bergedorf (a suburb ten miles to the southeast of Hamburg) in 1776.
His son, also named Jacob, was born in Hamburg in 1788. He is said to have been principally educated in music by Christian Friedrich Gottlieb Schwenke, who succeeded C.P.E. Bach as municipal music director in Hamburg in 1789, after Bach's death. In 1819 Steinfeld junior founded the "Die Gesellschaft der Freunde religiösen Gesanges", today the Hamburger Singakademie, along with Friedrich Wilhelm Grund. He died in 1869.
The elder Steinfeld is supposed to have written at least fifty compositions, of which he published the set of six flute sonatas with continuo, op. 1 (Berlin, Hummel, 1784); a set of flute duos, op. 4; Six Rondos faciles, presumably for harpsichord, op. 5; six quartets for two clarinets and two horns, op. 20; a set of three Claviersonaten and three Sonatinen (1788); a set of Zwölf Lieder mit Andante und Variationen ä quatre mains, (1797); and a Sammlung moralischer Oden und Lieder zum Singen bey dem Klaviere (1788), for voice with keyboard accompaniment. And we also know that he produced an occasional piece (most probably not published) for a Hamburg wedding in 1794 (Ein Liedlein der Liebe des würdigen Braut-Paars Herrn Behls und der Demoiselle Illert, auf Ihrem Hochzeitstage gesungen nach der Melodie: Laßt uns Kränze winden, in Musik gesetzt von Herrn Steinfeld. Hamburg, den 5. Juni 1794)1.
Of all these works, the only that we know have survived are the op. 1 flute sonatas, which are held in the United States at the Newberry Library in Chicago, and at the Moravian Music Foundation, in Salem, North Carolina. This is a set of large-scale and technically challenging works for flute with "basse" – the score provides an unfigured bass line which nowhere includes additional notes over the bass, and descends only to a low C, so that it would be entirely feasible to execute these works with only a flute and a violoncello. The figuration in the flute part is amply provided with articulation markings, and the simpler bass part as well. The keys (D, G, C, D, C minor, D) and range are clearly accessible to the sort of one-key transverse flute depicted on the title page.
All but the first and fifth sonata are in three movements. Four of the sonatas (1,2, 3, and 5) open with Allegros in C (common time, 4/4) marked Allegro molto (no. 1), Allegro con Spirito (no. 2), Allegro Moderato (no. 3) and Allegro Assai (no. 6), in which the drumming rhythm in the bass line is in eighths, and the shortest values in the passagework for the flute is the sixteenth (or in no. 5, the triplet eighth). The remaining two sonatas begin with allegros notated at the next level down, that is, in 2/4, marked Allegro Moderato (both nos. 4 and 6), with the shortest values for the flute being thirty-seconds or triplet sixteenths. This latter type is found exclusively in the second set of Steinfeld sonatas (see below). The slow movements for sonatas 2, 3 and 4 are in the parallel minor; sonata 5, with an opening movement in the minor, has a closing movement in the parallel major. No. 6. has a minuet (marked Tempo Giusto) in place of the slow movement. All of the closing movements are rondos (no marking, Allegretto, Presto, Presto, Presto, Presto, respectively).
Our "other" set of flute sonatas from Steinfeld, which apparently were never published, are the 6 Solos for flöyten af Steinfeldt [in D, G, E minor, C, G, and D] held in manuscript at the Royal Library in Denmark2. These might be said to be similar in style to those found in the op. 1 (they could arguably be by the same composer, although not belonging to the same set of works), and perhaps generally more virtuoso and demanding technically. My remarks about the bass line for op. 1 are valid here as well – it is unfigured, with no indications that a keyboard would be intended. Unusually, the final sonata, consisting of a set of 18 variations with a concluding rondo, is specifically scored to be accompanied by the alto viola.
These are sonatas that are large in scale, with expositions (first section to the double bar) of almost fifty measures, and the development/recapitulation of twice that size. All but the closing sonata have three movements. The opening allegros are always in 2/4, with the smallest rhythmic value generally the thirty-second note. These are in binary form. When the sonata is in major, the slow movement (the second of three) is generally in the parallel minor (this is the case for sonatas 1, 2, and 4, in D, G and C respectively; sonata 5, in G, has the slow movement in the subdominant, C major). The closing movements vary – sonatas 1 and 2 close with a Rondo, 3 and 4 with a binary form, 5 with a minuet and six variations (notably, the closing return of the initial minuet is explicitly written out, with both repeats). For sonata 6 the final rondo is essentially part of the previous extensive set of variations (this type of concluding rondo is widely used to conclude such variation sets circa 1800).
The range of notes employed in these sonatas extends from the low D to the top A normal for the one-key flute, and while the top third – F#, G, A – is used, and prominently used on occasion (e.g. the arpeggio ascending to a sustained high A in the first movement of sonata 2), the general tessitura is not as high as one would find for somewhat later music. Likewise, keys on the flat side are rare, and only found in slow movements, rather than in allegros intended to be brilliant. The manuscript is extensively, but not exhaustively or systematically, supplied with articulation markings, so that the first occurrence of a pattern may have all the articulation marked, and subsequent occurrences have no articulation marked, since the player is expected to repeat what was shown the first time.
All in all, these are highly demanding and rewarding sonatas. Both sets of works by Steinfeld highly deserve to be better-known and more accessible to the flutist, and would richly merit one or more virtuoso recordings.

Quote:One of the reasons for the amateur astronomy communitys high number of middle age men is that over the last 10 to 15 years a new group has been coming into the hobby that is in that age demographic. These are the technocrats: MDs, scientists, engineers, whose kids are out of the house, and who are no longer healthy enough for extreme sports, and such. They are looking for a cool new hobby that fits in with their technical skills, and they have found it: CCD imaging! Many of the imagers Ive run into were not into astronomy as a hobby before the CCD, computers, GoTo, drew then in. Their interest in visual observing is often limited.
