It was an amazing time!!! Beautiful resort. Great customer service!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
Overall enjoyed stay. However, our room was not as clean as i expected it would be for the price we paid. It appears that the previous hotel guests had cake and there was cake crumbs left uncleaned in the refrigerator as well as on the floor. Also, the bathroom did not appear to have been cleaned. Toilet room smelled like urine (very strong oder) and […] sick was still dirty. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Only complaint was that it was very busy. Had to walk around for over an hour to find poolside seats. Best Kids Club ever.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The place was relaxing and beautiful to spend a vacation.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Disney resort"
Good hotel located at ocean side and hiding from city. Good breakfast and pool side meal. Hotel cost is not cheap but other price is affordable to enjoyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
We usually travel to Maui and tried Oahu for the first time with the family. This was probably one of our best trips ever!! We were there for 12 days and enjoyed ever minute of our stay!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice for kids"
Great place for kids, but after a couple of days it may become boring...Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great with kids beach pool and Mickey"
But you probably need a car for couple day to go East of the island thats where Waikiki it take 40 minutes drive.Genuine Expedia guest review
"What an amazing experience!"
From the point of arriving to checking out, was nothing short of amazing! We were greeted with lei's at the front, the staff was very friendly and hospitable, and the whole experience is unforgettable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Completely up to Disney standards"
This hotel is definitely up to Disney standards. Disney is a name in and of it self, so going to Aulani, I definitely had a standard I was looking for. It totally lived up to it. A smile and a flower or kukui nut lei greeted us as we checked in. It didn't seem overcrowded, but perhaps it was the time of year (June) - although it was difficult to get […] a seat if you got to the pool later in the day. The staff was very nice. There are plenty of activities to do (some were complimentary and some required an additional fee). I wish, at check-in, there was a tour of the facilities offered. I felt a tad bit lost just reveiwing the map. I did research before we left, but there is just so much going on that it's a bit hard to keep up. However, the Daily Iwa was a great help. AND, any of the Cast members that I talked to were very helpful. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Crowded, overpriced hotel"
Noisy hotel room without view, next to stairwell, next to room with crying baby all night long. Hotel is extremely crowded throughout the property: was unable to make reservations at any of the on-site restaurants two weeks in advance nor find any lounge chairs at any of the on-site pools at 9am. Worst >$550 ever spent!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Would have rated higher if it wasn't so remote."
Great hotel with it own little water park. But being so far from Waikiki makes hard to see any sights.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent Hotel for the Family"
We had a great time at this hotel, especially the kids. I would recommend anyone with a family to stay hereGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent Hotel"
Kid to Adult friendly, all ages will enjoy. Amazing experience and would love to come back again in near future. The whole staff was excellent and made our stay even better than expected. It's fun and exhilarating from morning till night.Genuine Expedia guest review
"perfect place for families"
We had a great time at the Aulani Disney Resort. Our two boys loved the place and they had tons of fun playing in the pools and on the beach. The resort is perfect for families, there are lots of pools and water activities for kids. The food is pricey, but that is to be expected when vacationing in Hawaii. Our only issue was our room. When we checked […] in we asked if it is possible for a free upgrade, especially since the hotel was not even close to being fully booked, but we were told it was not possible. On our third night there, we discovered a very bad smell in our room when we returned back from dinner, that smelled like burnt rubber. It was very hard to breathe in the room and we had to move to another room. No one at the hotel explained what the cause of the bad smell was, they just moved us to another room. Kinda strange. Besides that, we enjoyed our stay there and loved the convenience of the place. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"It depends what you are looking for"
We had a lovely stay at the resort but there were definitely a few things that we didn't care for. The main swimming pool was closed early most days and opened late. Most people are coming from a time difference where we are up early so that was a bummer. We also didn't enjoy eating at the same overpriced 2 restaurants all week. To drive to the nearest […] cool place to dine was very far. It took us 2 hours to get to Waikiki in traffic (only 30 mins back thank goodness traffic let up). It was again 2 hours to go visit the dolphins. I would stay somewhere more walkable to shopping (there is virtually none) and a variety of restaurants. The food we had was delicious but for the 3 of us, it was $80 plus for every meal including breakfast, and after 6 days of eating there, we would have enjoyed a 10 min drive to another place for food even, but the resort is remote. As far as the Disney themed goes, we were ok that it was Disney LITE, but if you are expecting a lot of different characters, I would suggest going to Disneyland. We really enjoyed the staff, they were very helpful and pleasant. They left little gifts for us each night. The only other negative was that they didn't unload all our bags to the shuttle to the airport. :( We now are home without 2 bags which they are sending. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
This hotel went above and beyond our expectations. It was a five star experience from food, accomodations & service. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in hawaii.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good for ages 3+"
We decided to take our 1 and a half year old daughter there to experience it before we left the island. I already did the research and knew she wasn't going to be able to participate in Auntie's beach house. But the menehuna bridge was supposed to be all ages, that being said I took her on it and was going to go down the slide with her when the attendant […] told me parents weren't allowed... This is supposed to be a place for children and there was absolutely nothing to do with our daughter other than go down the lazy river with her and take her to the beach. It was over priced and the character breakfast had a total of 3 characters. One of which who left around 8 when breakfast starts at 7. My advice would be A) go there as a couples getaway or B) save your money and take them to the Polynesian cultural center, kualoa ranch, dole plantation, Waikiki aquarium/zoo, bishop museum, and the cultural place such as iolani palace. Go out and explore the island instead of paying over a grand for a weekend stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"More Disney than Hawaii."
The resort has unmatched activities for kids and a spa that is amazing. Another plus is that this place does not nickel and dime you like other resorts a lot of the rentals are free.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"parking too expencive"
It is SHUHEI NAKAMURA you let me stay the other day. I asked about the parking fee. When asked towards the hotel, I was told that it is out If you put the parking ticket after putting the room key in the payment machine. But error was displayed in the way. After all, I paid $ 70 for two nights with a credit card. $ 35 payment at check-out, I paid $ […] 105 in total. Will it correct with this? Up front did not go back to the question I was in such a hurry. I want a refund. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice character hotel"
The hotel has smaller open place than I thought . The water park is small. So I should say it is pricy.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent amenities, don't go anywhere else..."
Everything about Aulani is awesome!... except for the following: If you are staying over 4 days activities get repetitive as well as food options. About food, way overpriced, especially the Buffet. A la carte options are scarce but delicious. We really enjoyed Aulani but not the outside tours, the kids surfing class is a good initiative but it still […] needs improvements and is very expensive, paradise cove luau is decent the food is terrible, we paid for VIP which is double the price than regular admission whom were sited only a few feet away... very expensive, not worth it!. We rented a car at the resort and visit the pineapple fields and the Waterfall, that was way worth it... Just our experience. Thanks Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for families with kids"
Our boys were 6 and 2 and the staff and facilities were wonderful. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff shared the spirit of Aloha. The pools were great and clean. Truly the spirit of Disney honored the Hawaiian culture. The Starlit Hui was fantastic and short enough for the littles attention span. Pricey, but well worth it. Many shuttles available […] every day to excursions and the staff was helpful with suggestions based on the children's ages. Definitely will come back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great for families with young children"
Beautiful property. Need to plan your days according to properties schedule of events or else you'll miss out on all the resort has to offer. Great for kids and parents.Genuine Expedia guest review
Nice resort and very well planned by Disney. However, if they are calling it Disney there should be more than just 3 Disney characters at the theme breakfast. Kind of far away from Waikiki so visitors better get a rental car because the taxi ride from the airport will be the same as the rental car for a week.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place but way too crowded!"
Staff and facilities were great, however, when we went the hotel was at a very high occupancy plus they were selling day tickets to locals who were on spring break. It was very crowded - unless you got up at 6am, there would be a 40 minute wait to get breakfast and it was difficult to find a free chair at the pools or beach.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Pretty much what you'd expect"
Overall very nice. The kids had good fun in the well-heated pools, the not-terrifying slides, the fish-stocked artificial snorkeling reef, and the calm-water ocean inlet. Very comfortable and controlled--one of those always good and sometimes almost but never quite great experiences. Claiming pool chairs wasn't fun but was doable if you were willing […] to wake up early enough, and most people were friendly and generous enough about it--we were all in the same boat. Cleaning services missed our room one day but made up for it with a little extra attentiveness later. The key card system glitched but was quickly fixed. The restaurants were overpriced and needed reservations well in advance but the food was pretty decent (and the shaved ice stand was worth the long lines). The stores and restaurants across the street provide some decent alternatives. Overall, there was kind of an amusement park feeling which makes it not the right place if what you want is just some peace and quiet, but if you're even considering this place to begin with, that's probably not too high on your priority list. We'd definitely consider going again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"So Disney!"
Really great family fun. Friendly staff Definately follows the Disney business model of excellent serviceGenuine Expedia guest review
"Overpriced, underwhelming"
This was our second visit to Aulani, and unfortunately, it no longer lives up to the hype. The resort has almost tripled in occupancy since we were last there (late 2012), and the crowds are shocking. We once were in a hot tub meant for 9 (as posted) and there were 37 people in it (not an exaggeration). The lines to sign children up for the offerings […] at the kids' club started at 7:00 AM and lasted over an hour (just like a ride at Disneyland). Not the sort of thing you expect when you're paying these rates. I would only recommend this resort if one is in Hawaii and plans to spend only a couple of days here to use the crowded pools AND only if one gets an incredible deal.

"33rd Birthday at Aulani"
First time in Oahu. First time at Aulani!!! Will highly recommend both!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
The resort is everything that it is advertised to be. There's not much else to do in the area immediately outside of the resort, so it's helpful to have a rental car. The service was excellent overall. I would go backGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Absolutely loved everything our stay"
The pools were awesome and the beach was beautiful. Loved the hula show and movie nights and all the Disney Characters and all their interactions with them, my son was in awe and had the best time of his life. Everything was top notch. Can't wait to go back next year.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Perfect family spot"
We arrived very late on Friday night and were greeted with smiles and excellent service. The room was spacious and beds were extremely comfortable. All of the activities and characters were a great addition to the island activities we did. Breakfast in the Ulu Cafe was a great place to get something quick. The staff and amenities made our trip perf […] ect! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Family friendly and subtly Disney"
We stayed for a week and we all loved it (me, wife, 8 and 10 year old kids) Quiet, clean, super friendly staff. We're Disney fans and loved all the subtle Disney touches throughout the resort. Kids loved Aunties Beach House. So much to do at the resort and lots of it is included at no extra cost. Stocked up on groceries at the Target up the street and […] probably saved a bunch of money as a result. We'll definitely be back again Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Quiet pool for adults"
Quite disappointing for the price $378 per night for a Garden View room. Food seemed like an afterthought. The pool menu was very limited. AmaAma restaurant's food was mediocre. Macaroni & cheese appetizer looked and tasted like box pasta. Much better food in shopping center across the street. Skipped my included breakfast last morning and went to coffee […] shop there. I would not recommend this Disney property. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Friendly staff nice everything was perfect. No complaintsGenuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome property"
Clean, friendly staff, well maintained property, of course it is Disney. Resort prices at all the food service venues, need more choices like pizza, hamburgers, etc. basic kids food, otherwise an excellent resort. Room rate is a little pricy for what you get though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Disney does it with class"
Great resort with all the amenities. No longer need to travel to Maui or Kauai. Everything for the family in one spot. Disney thinks of everything. Everyone had a great time.Genuine Expedia guest review
"We ❤ Aulani!!"
My husband travels to Honolulu often for business. We usually stay at the Sheraton or the Hilton in Waikiki. We came across a deal for Aulani and we decided to try it out. Our family had a blast, it's a 5 star resort!! We have found a new love- the Aulani!! Our kids are 5 and 8 and we spent hours enjoying; the lazy river, slides, infinity pool, reef-you […] name it we did it! Our children really enjoyed Aunties beach house and the staff! It's a wonderful safe environment and we felt at ease dropping our children off there. Just some thoughts as we fly home: 1. When attending the Starlit show be sure to take advantage of the crafts in the back. Fun stuff!! 2. The Spa was amazing and worth every penny. I spent 3 hours there enjoying the facility. I kept smelling the Spas fragrance in the elevator and it made me want to go back!! 3. Uncles canoe racing at the Pau Hana Room was a blast for our entire family. 4. Bring water shoes for the reef. If you have sensitive feet there are rocks in the entrance. We wished we would have spent the extra money and got the passes for the week. The kids enjoyed it more than I thought they would. 5. The banana bread pudding was decadent at AMA AMA. We had a wonderful dinner and the ambiance was very romantic at the 6:23pm sunset. We went there while, our kids went to Chip and Dale Surf party which was $180. Dinner was $140 for 2 of us. We had apps, cocktails, 2 entrees and 2 deserts. Expensive night! 6. Be sure to get a shaved ice with the condensed milk #2. Yum!! 7. We stayed until 9:00 pm the day we checked out. We were able to use the locker rooms and shower before our next destination. We left our bags with the bell service for the day while we played. We were shocked that after check out we were still able to use Aunties beach house, too. 9. Happy hour from 5-7 at the Olelo was enjoyed with wonderful music. 10. The tacos and sliders were amazing at Off the Hook. 11. I was worried about my morning coffee because of other reviews. But no Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"4 days away"
The hotel would have been better if they had rainy days backup plains as nothing to do if bad weather. It's Disney so you know exactly what is going to be so just sit back and enjoy the hotelGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Lots of fun at Aulani"
Had a wonderful 4 night stay. The pools are fantastic and the lagoon was great for swimming and there were some neat fish out by the rocks by the inlet. Staff at the hotel was outstanding and we enjoyed our visit to the spa. Also some good restaurants nearby - Monkey Pod and Roy's.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family friendly, Menehune magic."
As expected of Disney, Aulani is taylored for the family, full of comforts and never short of things to do. Restaurants are rather pricey and the food not much to fret about, but the facilities and personnel are world class. The Menehune touch adds magic to the whole experience for adults and children alike!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful hotel but very expensive!!!"
Beautiful site. Well laid out and space well used. Fantastic views from the pool. Disney resort missing Disney experience. Limited Disney characters but stayed authentic to HawaiiGenuine Expedia guest review
"Vacation of a lifetime"
Amazing, amazing and simply amazing !!!! Overall the experience was incredible, the only thing I would change is make food more affordable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great place to have your vacation"
Amazing place to relax and have fun at the same time, great for vacation with the family!Genuine Expedia guest review
"High quality Disney experience."
It's Disney. Good, clean, family fun at a very high price. The rooms are extremely tiny. The restaurant food is pretty bad and BEYOND overpriced. A bagel for 4.00? I could not get a single tiny Yoplait yogurt for my 5 year old without buying the entire continental breakfast at 7.95 to throw the rest of the food out. Nor would they make her a plain cheese […] quesadilla without charging me the full price for the shrimp quesadilla. I mean, come on! That being said, the staff and service were both top notch. The resort has many types of pools and there is literally something for everyone. Auntie's Beach House was a great option, although I was disappointed that the TV was on all the time. Both my kids loved the Ipad style treasure hunts that had them discovering secrets all over the resort. The Aluani hula show is perfect for kids. We enjoyed the character breakfast, the food was good and the interaction with Minnie and Mickey was worth it for our 5 year old, although pricey! The spa was lovely, one of the best I have ever set foot in. The "beach" is a small lagoon, no waves, fine for toddlers but it is not a real beach if that is what you are after.

We loved the Aulani! Everything about this resort was magical to my daughter.So much for kids to do. Restaurants were excellent! We loved seeing Mickey and Minnie walk around greeting families. Great location! We will be back!Genuine Expedia guest review
Fabulous for adults and young children.. Can't wait to returnGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great place for kids in Hawaii"
Great place for kids. Would have liked to see more Disney characters. Food was decent. My son got sick on the second to last day we were there. Wish they had a shuttle. And provided or had popcorn for the movie night. Room was dark and didn't see the pool from our balcony.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Luxury and Watersports"
An incredibly beautiful hotel and grounds, with very friendly and attentive staff. Very little Disney influence, more Hawaiian. Lots of relaxing and fun water activities, including lazy river, multiple pools, ocean sports. Food at Ama Ama was expensive but worth it, the buffet and Ulu Café also expensive but not worth it. This is more of a family place […] to play in the water as opposed to shopping, drinking or partying by the ocean. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

New Orleans Saints
|By Kimra Schleicher, Friday, September 12, 2014
QB Drew Brees - Stud (low risk)
Drew Brees finished as a top two fantasy quarterback in five out of the last six seasons. He has never finished lower than third in fantasy points since he joined the Saints in 2006. He is an elite QB and unquestionably durable and consistent. Sure, he is 35 years old, but he has not missed a game due to injury since he joined the Saints. Brees has passed for more than 5,000 yards in four out of the last six seasons and averaged 42 touchdowns in the past three years. The Saints are not devoid of any playmakers at any positions. The key for New Orleans will be their offensive line. Brees was sacked 37 times last season, but the team is focused on improving their offensive line in the offseason. Many will draft Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers ahead of Drew Brees in 2014. If you are looking for potential value and one of the best bets as a fantasy player, don't look any further than Brees.
Editor's note: To Stud QB or Not Stud QB. That is the question. There's a good chance if you wait on QB, you'll sacrifice 100 points with the gamble. You'll miss on value at another position if you take Brees -- such as passing on WR Andre Johnson as your WR2 and instead grabbing a Cordarrelle Patterson. Smaller roster requirements (8 or 9 starting positions) should go with the better QB, while deeper starting lineup requirements (10-11) should take the skill position player and grab QB later.

Clematis Seed Pods in Clusters?
I inherited 2 clematis plants and got an Earnest Markham and Doctor Ruppell from a nursery. This is their first year. Several months ago the inherited plants had a couple single purple flowers. Nothing from the EM or DR. Now I have what looks like clusters of seeds?! And they are everywhere. I can't tell which plant(s) they are from. Is this normal for them to go to seed and skip blooming? I've never grown them before and won't take offense to pointers for next year. Picture attached.
Since this is their first year, keep pinching EM and DR to keep them compact and help the roots get established. Also hard prune them after frost for 1-2 years regardless of their pruning requirements. This will help them become stronger plants and more stems will come from the base to make a fuller plant and more blooms the second and/or third year.

I have been working out. If you've known me for any length of time, you know that this is not a thing I do because I like it or because I love being healthy or anything like that; this is a thing I started doing because I feel BLAH and squishy and weak and old. I have tried to develop a regular exercise regimen, on and off, at various times in my life. I've had a modicum of success for months or even years at a time, sometimes. And then slowly I give it up, because I never LIKE it enough to keep going just because it speaks to me. (I have friends who say they LOVE working out. I strongly suspect this to be the modern-day form of no soap radio.)
I do not love this thing, this carving out of at least 30 minutes every day to move my body and pause my mind. But I am kind of getting to where I can see that it's Not Awful. ("Not Awful" may be as close to "I like it" as I ever get. Baby steps.) The past few years have taken a toll on my health in ways I never could've predicted, and the one silver lining is that now when I exercise, I kind of appreciate it. (Sometimes Otto and I refer to my time on the elliptical as PEDALING AWAY THE RAGE and while I doubt anyone is going to patent that as a a tagline for a marketable exercise program, it works.)
These days, I move more, and talk less. I still don't move enough and talk too much, but it's progress in the right direction. (more…)

The war is over and Paris is alive again with artists, writers and musicians. Rosalie Hale went abroad to study in this exciting and romantic city, but instead she vanished without a trace. Now her best friend, Bella, has come on her own to find her. She teams up with Rose's spunky roommate, and they are joined in the search by an American businessman, a battle-scarred reporter, and a handsome painter with his own mysterious past. Following a trail of clues left behind by Rose's letters, they plunge into the dark side of the City of Lights. Who is Royce? What secrets is he hiding? Why did Rose really leave? The search for Rose and life in Paris just might change Bella in ways she never imagined.

The whole world is turned upside down when Bella is attacked in Port Angeles and she must be changed if Edward wants to keep her in his life. It is clear from the beginning that Bella is much more than she seems and the circumstances involving her attack and new found abilities prove to be a challenge that Edward and the rest of the family may be unable to prevail against.When Bella turns to an unlikely source for help, will she be able to heal?

Do you like stories where Bella is sweet and kind and mature beyond her years? And when she and Edward meet they fall in love immediately and have lots of smexy times? And Jake is their dog?
If yes, then this is NOT the story for you.
But if like stories where Bella is insecure, moody, argumentative and occasionally thoughtless, or stories where Bella is kind of involved with both Edward and Jacob at the same time and dealing poorly with the situation - then you might like this story.
Here's what it's about:
Bella has just started her freshman year at Yale after taking a year off between high school and college. She is trying to balance her relationship with her long distance boyfriend, Jacob, while making friends at school and dealing with her classes. She is also trying to manage the problem that caused her to take the year off before starting college.
And then she gets a ride from a Yalie named Edward Cullen . . .
A Romeo and Juliet-esque story using the characters you've grown to know and love. But not everything will be quite what it seems. AU AH Rated NC-17 for later chapters.
I was just moving back to Forks, but it was only temporary. I didn't plan on staying, I had only lived here for a few months when I was a baby, and had visited my father only a few times since. I was here on a job, nothing more, kill the vampires, and then I would be on the move again. This was my first job without a chaperone, and I intended to prove myself. A different Twilight, one where Bella isn't quite so innocent, naïve, and gullible.

Summery: Everyone at the Cullens' loves Christmas, but this year as Renesmee and Jake are getting ready to share their big news with everyone, the peaceful family holiday is about to be interrupted by the most unlikely guest.
Thank you to our first chapter beta Blackjacklily.
Bella is a military wife, married to Jake and living in Miami. She meets Edward, the handyman, and as their relationship progresses begins to question everything she thought she knew. EXB JXA EmXR AH
They have everything they ever dreamed of: a great house, vast amounts of money, everything said money can buy, a family that they adore and adores them, people who would do absolutely anything for them - whether they want to or not - and the shared desire to be the most feared and powerful family in their town and the towns surrounding it.
Their name is Cullen, crime is their business and family is their life.
There's just one problem: when you're at the top, there's always someone who'd like to knock you down.
Welcome to their world; make yourself at home.
We all must applauded JayJayHale for making the fabulous banner.
Rated for the over use of the 'F' word and many other words that can be referred to by initial. Also there happens to be quite a lot of violence and references to things little children should not know about. Oh yeah, let's not forget the vast amount of law-breaking.

Security officer Bella Swan lands the job of a lifetime when she's asked to protect superstar Edward Cullen. But there's something in the past that makes her hesitate. She's armed. He's dangerous. How will it end?
Update 13 January 2011 - you've probably noticed that this story has stalled - life tends to get in the way sometimes! I'm currently working on this story plus another, and I've made the hard decision to put A&D on hold until I finish "Jasper's Story".
I'm posting close to weekly updates on Twitter now (@scuzzfuzz) so drop by sometime and you'll know where I'm up to.
Happy reading (and apologies),
Edward once told Bella that he'd turned Tanya down in "as gentlemanly a manner as possible." That's not exactly how it went. Twenty hours before the biggest party of the century, and Emmett is dealing with Edward. Support Stacie challenge response.
The McCarty clan was known as a wild bunch in the hills of Anderson County, Tennessee. They worked hard and played hard, and were well respected in the community. What happened when the most popular of the seven McCarty boys disappeared?
Bella is working as a part-time bartender while completing her studies. Edward is a new probabtionary firefighter who works out of headquarters right across the street. When these two meet, fires will ignite, but will their love thrive or be consumed in the flames? Lots of fluff, angst, and lemons galore!
It's 1919, and Tanya sees Carlisle and his newborn vampire walking across the snowy winter landscape towards her house. Nothing will ever be the same for her or for Carlisle again. See Edward as a newborn, a rebellious killer, as his family grows, and as he grows into the vampire we know and love him as today.
Bella thinks she is happy in Seattle living with her two best friends, Alice and Rose. When an out of this world offer to be on "The Bachelorette" comes up, she decides to take a chance at life and go for it. With only a week before filming begins, Bella meets and falls for Dr. Edward Cullen. What she doesn't know? He's a candidate expected to date her along with the nine other men. As the show unravels, does their secret keep safe? Will Hollywood ruin them? Canon AH
Romance, Drama, and A LOT OF Fluff.

After Edward left her standing alone in the forest, Bella did not stay in Forks, but went to Florida with her mother. Now, five years later, a still heart-broken and pregnant Bella returns to Forks to face her past and discover new secrets.

New Moon is disregarded and Edward IS NOT THE FATHER!

Moeen Ali knows he has to be more careful after Gaza wristband incident and admits he didn't think controversy would be a big deal
- Ali has taken 17 wickets in series so far
- Batsman sparked controversy by wearing Save Gaza wristbands
- Part-time spinner has improved his bowling by quickening his action
Life has changed for Moeen Ali this summer but he has risen spectacularly to every challenge thrown at him, from proving his worth as Graeme Swann's spinning successor to dealing with the fallout from expressing an opinion on Gaza.
Not many England players have made quite such an impact, on and off the field, in their first year of Test cricket, but then not many have the same potential to be both a key player and a positive role model for modern Britain.
Moeen talked with a rare maturity at The Kia Oval on Wednesday, if slightly more warily than before his beliefs became a national issue, as he contemplated his extraordinary introduction to both Test cricket and the public consciousness.
VIDEO Scroll down for 'Moeen Ali: This was my best moment in an England shirt'
Controversy: Moeen Ali admits he did not realise how much would be made of his wristbands
Good sport: Ali warms up with a different shaped ball before the fifth Test at the Kia Oval
The impression that English cricket has a gem in its midst, formed when meeting him for the first time in a Birmingham school in May, was certainly reinforced as Moeen tackled his unexpected off- spinning success, his problems against the short ball, his faith and those pro-Palestinian wristbands.
First Gaza and proof that Moeen is different from sportsmen all too often accused of lacking a hinterland. 'I have a lot of opinions on a lot of stuff,' said Moeen.
'I wasn't trying to be political. It was a humanitarian thing. I will speak about it at some point but I don't think it's the right time, before a Test.
Role model: The part-time spinner is a role model within the English side, particularly for British Asians
'I didn't think the wristbands would be such a big deal. I just totally forgot I had them on when I went into bat. I have to be a lot more careful. ICC didn't allow me to wear them and I accepted that. I've had a lot of positive reaction and I'd like to thank the ECB for supporting me on it.'
A picture emerged after that third Test incident of Moeen seemingly at a political rally in his home city. The reality was a bit more prosaic. 'I was actually on my way to ASDA with my family,' he insisted while wearing Waitrose on his shirt.
'A guy recognised me and asked me to pose for a picture. I do like to do charity work but on that day all I was doing was going shopping.'
It was his six second-innings wickets in Southampton followed by four more in the second innings at Old Trafford that mark out Moeen as much more than the part-time spinner that Alastair Cook and Peter Moores thought.
Change up: The spinner has had to speed up his action to make an impact with the ball in test cricket
Stuart Broad was a notable absentee on Tuesday as England began preparing ahead of the final Test but he is still expected to take his place at The Kia Oval.
Broad's nose was broken in two places when he was struck by a 88mph delivery from Varun Aaron while batting at Old Trafford last week but England's medical staff have given him the all-clear.
He sat out Tuesday's net practice but England insist this was part of the plan and that he will be fit to take his place on Wednesday when Ben Stokes and Steven Finn get a final chance to force their way into the side.
Broad was considering wearing a mask here to protect his face but it now seems he will wear a protective nose splint instead.
'It's not very pretty,' Joe Root said. 'He's not got the boy-band looks you'd normally associate with Stuart. He's milking it, as you've probably seen on all the social media, but I'm sure he's desperate to play.'
Another absentee at the Oval was India captain MS Dhoni who, instead of practising, decided to indulge his hobby of shooting at a London range. Dhoni, it seems, is very much a law unto himself.
Ahead of tomorrow's final Investec Test he is on 19 wickets from four matches, just one short of the England record in a home series against India, held since 1967 by Ray Illingworth.
'After the first Test, where I went for quite a few, I felt the need for change,' said Moeen.
'Ian Bell took me to one side and said, "Look, this is what you've got to do to be consistent in the Test side: bowl quicker and straighter, especially on a first-day pitch".
'Then I went into the nets and the umpire Kumar Dharmasena was there and I asked him, as a former off-spinner, how I could bowl quicker without it being flat.
'And he said, "Just grab your pocket as quickly as you can with your non-bowling arm when you bowl". As soon as I bowled one ball I knew it would work.
Delight: After a tough Test at Trent Bridge, Ali has improved markedly, after taking advice from Ian Bell
'I've always felt I could take wickets, even at Trent Bridge where I didn't bowl well, but it was about being consistent and getting the captain to keep me on for longer periods. My mentality changed after that first Test.
'I don't feel I'm there yet. But I do believe I've taken a big step towards being a decent Test spinner. I feel like I have more control, and that my captain and team-mates can trust me.'
Moeen, of course, is a batsman first as he demonstrated with a century against Sri Lanka at Headingley. But he has run into problems against the short ball against India.
'When you get out a couple of times the same way you think about it,' he said. 'I've probably been thinking about it too much, whether to take it on or not.
Running through: Ali has taken 10 fourth-innings wickets in the last two Tests to knock over the Indian line-up
'I'm just going to go back to basics and my own game now.' When we spoke in May, Moeen talked passionately about the good he could do to improve the image of Islam in this country and to encourage British Asian youngsters to be more inclusive and embrace the English system.
His views have not changed even if, sadly, he has been advised to be careful when talking about religion because, as was the case in one report, it can be misconstrued.
'I've always supported England 100 per cent,' he said. 'I was born and raised in England and am more English than people seem to think.
'If a British Asian supports Pakistan or India I have always questioned it, but I think things are changing.
Centre of attention: The off-spinning batsman has already become a key character in a young team
'I have never encountered prejudice and that's what I want British Asian kids to know. That if you work hard, you can achieve anything.
'That's the kind of barrier I want to break down. That people think it's tough or will treat you badly if you're a practising Muslim or whatever.
'That is the reason I like to play cricket for England — because I can break down barriers and inspire kids, not just Asian ones, to play.'
It is an attitude that has created a very impressive, modern young Englishman.

Shiner International Friend Standard Ottoman
About the ManufacturerJoe Manus remembers his first black eye. He was 7, he deserved it, and he wore it like a badge of honor. Ever since, the shiner has become his personal emblem for something tough, dark, and proudly damaged. Now Joe applies the manufacturing techniques and brutal aesthetic that earned his reputation for high-end boutiques and nightclubs in Atlanta to his first collection of modern, eco-friendly furnishings. It's dirty, sexy, clever and dark. Of course, he named it Shiner. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY "ECO-FRIENDLY"? All materials are selected with environmental responsibility in mind. Steel is 85% recycled. Cardboard is 100% recycled. Plywood comes from responsibly farmed, new growth timbers. Hardwoods come from drop cuts from board manufacturing that were destined for the landfill. All goods are cut using CNC technology, which means maximum yield because of close nesting of parts on a panel, low labor overhead and low energy equation overall. All leftover materials from cut panels go to fuel the timber kiln that dries our hardwoods or to be used in the production of biodiesel.

A Word to the Wise
Dr. Walter Olsen
Do Christians have any encouragement for living in an obviously sinful world?
Yes! Jesus, in praying to His Father for believers said, "I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world" (Jn. 17:14). The point is, believers are not a part of the world system which is under the control of the god of this world, that is, Satan. Believers have a new identity in Christ and a new life, even that of the Lord Himself. Still, believers must live in this world until they are called home to heaven. Until then, we have a glorious promise from the Lord. The Apostle Paul, in speaking of Jesus Christ said, "Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world [age], according to the will of God and our Father" (Gal. 1:4). So yes, believers must live for now in the evil age about them, but yet they are delivered from its control and dominion! They now have freedom and new life in Christ. One day they will be delivered forever from the presence of sin. The one whose hope is Christ has the greatest of reasons for encouragement!

For Every Awful Gov't Action There is An Equally Awful Reaction, Horses Worst Hit!
There is a jester of a Chicago Alderman named Ed Burke who back in the early 1990s made local radio audiences laugh by his plaintive plea of "what about the horses" on the floor of Chicago's City Hall. He was worried that horses in downtown Chicago's carriage trade were somehow being mistreated and so he tried to pass all sorts of absurd new regulations in Chicago to help his equine buddies. His plea rings in my ears as I read this new story of the "unintended consequences" of federal regulations meant to save the horses that has only made their lives more miserable.
Since we became a country there have been businesses geared to dispatch and butcher ailing, broken down, or unwanted horses. These horse abattoirs may be remembered once upon a time as supplying some of the raw materials for glue factories. But they also supplied the meat for zoos, circuses and increasingly for meat markets overseas where consumption of horsemeat by humans does not carry the cultural shock that it might here in the United States.
But congress knew better, you see. Congress had become the ultimate horse whisperers and could read the horses minds to know that they felt abused by these evil slaughterhouses. And so, because congress is oh, so caring, that august body passed laws that materially harmed horse slaughterhouses in America. These rules eventually made such businesses close up and disappear in the USA.
It's for the horses, ya know?
And so, the actions of congress led to the end of the evil places and congress was confident that they helped horses everywhere avoid all that "suffering" caused by the trade in horse meat.
I'm feeling better already, aren't you?
But wait. It seems that the end of horse slaughterhouses in America has not ended suffering for our equine citizens. In fact, there has been "unintended consequences" to these laws. Wouldn't you know it, but the suffering of horses has actually increased instead of being alleviated.
The Government Accountability Office is now reporting that horses are suffering worse than ever due to the end of slaughterhouses here.
"Those horses are traveling farther to meet the same end in foreign slaughtering facilities where U.S. humane slaughtering protections do not apply," GAO said in unusually blunt language that said that the horses are sometimes shipped in too-small containers for hundreds of miles, and that the inspection regime is too lax to help.
As Nebraska Republican Adrian Smith says, "ending horse processing has had a detrimental effect on both the economy and animal welfare. In light of this information, Congress should re-evaluate this misguided policy to allow responsible horse management which would create jobs, generate revenue and strengthen a struggling horse industry."
The upshot is that congress killed American jobs, laid waste to an ages old industry, and caused more suffering to the very animals they thought they were helping. Typical. This story is an object lesson in the follies of do gooder government. This story just goes to show that when these lawmakers involving themselves in areas where they simply have neither any expertise nor display any common sense, they end up making matters worse in nearly every case. If this isn't a perfect example of why our founders were right that that government which is a limited government is the best government.
Congress and these do gooder, animal "rights" wackos should be left out to pasture and out of our hair.

Rolling Over During Sleep
My 3 month old DD has just recently started rolling over. Lately she has been doing this in her sleep. Should I be overly concerned (SIDS)? Should I roll her back onto her back when I find her like this or leave her alone? Is this the time to put her in a wedge or would that be dangerous because it might make her stuck on her stomach? She has begun to sleep most of the night, however, I'm not because I'm worried about her sleeping on her stomach.
The doc told me at the time that if a baby rolls over on their own, that it means their system is maturing, and SIDS is not as big of a concern. She recommended still putting her down on her back, but if she rolled over on her own, this was ok.
I was worried, too, because the 'back to sleep' sids campaign has been drilled into us. So I called my pediatrician.
We got the same advice as TREKaren. Sure you can roll her back onto her back, but more than likely she will roll back over again if she has already done it once. Try not to worry. I know it is hard, I went through the same worry. It is amazing the stress they give us before they can even talk! ;-)

plant I D 39
oldstumpy1May 16, 2013
thanks for all the help so far, I really appreciate it.
rosemariero(Z9 SW SUNDiegoCA)
Wow, that's different, Richard! I would guess it's a crested cactus, but doesn't quite look like any I've seen. I would also guess it's a Mammillaria, but can't be sure about that. I see it has hooked spines & a yellow bloom, but nothing is jumping out at me as a characteristic I could use to nail down an ID for you. Sorry!
Could you possibly snap a pic a little closer of just a part of the plant, please? Maybe a shot from the top too?

Salmon release is step in Calif. river restoration
FRESNO, Calif. California's second-longest river once teemed with salmon that swam from San Francisco Bay to spawn near Fresno. But that was before the Friant Dam diverted the San Joaquin River to serve agriculture needs 62 years ago.
On Wednesday, biologists released two Chinook salmon 30 miles below the dam, a milestone in one of the most complex river restoration projects in North America.
The hope is the two fish continue their journey and spawn in the same gravel beds where swarms of their ancestors were so thick that locals said it seemed they could walk across the shallow river on their backs.
If all goes according to plan, in spring the newly hatched salmon will travel 320 miles back to sea along the Central California river.
"We hope that they imprint on the habitat and that area of the river, and as adults they'll be attracted to the same area," said Gerald Hatler of the California Department of Fish and Game. "That's our goal, but what we're doing now is largely experimental."
The $800 million San Joaquin River Restoration Project stems from a 2006 settlement of a lawsuit filed by environmental groups to restore the river flows and salmon runs. The suit contended the government violated state law when water diversions into the Friant-Kern and Madera irrigation canals dried up the river and ended spring and fall salmon runs.
"When you have an iconic species coming back, it's a signal the river is being restored," said Monty Schmitt, a scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council, which filed the lawsuit.
The settlement involving farmers, fishing groups, environmentalists and the federal government guarantees that at least 350 cubic feet per second of water will be released daily from the dam, which they calculate is enough to refill the 60 or so miles of river that had run dry.
"You can't put things back to the way they were originally," said Margaret Gidding of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which built the dam. "Trying to create a connective river again is giving us quite a challenge."
One problem is irrigation pumping in the nation's most productive farming region has caused portions of the riverbed to sink, which poses a challenge to maintaining flow that federal engineers have not yet solved.
In other areas, farmers have encroached on land they never dreamed would be in the river's path again.
Engineers are also trying to figure out how to bypass smaller dams and diversions constructed decades ago to capture what little water made it downstream in wet years.
"There have been other salmon restorations in the U.S., but the complexity of this one seems to be at the forefront," Gidding said.
Even if the salmon have a clear path to travel back to their original spawning grounds, there are questions about whether they will find the habitat suitable and whether they will return to complete the life cycle in three years.
"The historic spawning gravel is still present," said Hatler, environmental program manager of the project. "Is there enough? Do we need to add more gravel? Will they spawn there?"
