Sights & Sounds at Disney Parks: Walter E. Disneys Love of Steam Trains
What makes a blissful, breezy ride on the Walt Disney World Railroad such a magicaland authenticexperience? And what was the deal with Walt Disney and trains, anyway? Did he really have a whole railroad in his backyard? Let Disney historian Jim Korkis, author of The Vault of Walt, be your guide for a fact filled journey round the Magic Kingdom Park and into the heart of what brought joy to the man who brought so much joy to others.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

To all the local people who voted, whether you cast that ballot during early elections or on Nov. 6. Any reasonable person understands the federal and state governments are, in many ways, out of control, and taking advantage of the right to cast a ballot is the last chance individuals have of reclaiming control.
To the candidates, especially ones on the local and state level, who participated in the election whether in a winning or losing effort. Running for any office can be an expensive, consuming endeavor. The fact that most of these candidates did so simply because they want to serve their community — as we believe most do — is laudable and that is always a laudable effort.

Daniel Brown McNeill, 80, passed peacefully away on Oct. 7, 2012 at his home in Charlotte.
Brown, the son of the late W.C. and Katherine Tiddy McNeill was born on May 17, 1932 in Laurinburg. He served in the U.S. Army in postwar Germany in the 1950s. After earning a BA from USC and an MA from ASU, he taught history in the 1960's. In 1974, he opened MacNeil's, the first business in the new Overstreet Mall. It became an uptown landmark for over 30 years until illness forced him to close it in 2006. His engaging charm earned him a strong clientele locally and among business and entertainment folks throughout the U.S. He and his friend Bill spent many happy years traveling the world in search of the beautiful rare books which became his shop's hallmark. He loved exploring the byways of London and hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Bavarian Alps.
Brown is survived by his friend and partner of 46 years William E. Hodgson of Charlotte, sister Katherine Webb of Linville, several nieces and nephews, special friends Donna Bousquet and Edrenna Cousar, his beloved caregivers Yvonne Mincer, Jim Lawton, and Maggie White, along with the gang at the Dowd Y and many wonderful friends who supported him and his family through his last difficult months.
Brown is preceded in death by his brothers William, Archie, John, and Edwin and his sisters Sarah and Mary Ruth.
The Rev. Dennis Quakenboss of Mountainside Lutheran Church in Linville and the Rev.d Charles Howell of Speedwell Presbyterian Church of Reidsville will officiate at his memorial service on Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 1:00 PM in the Chapel of Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service. The family will receive friends following the service.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to The Parkinson's Foundation, 1359 Broadway, Suite 1509, New York, NY 10018 or A Child's Place, PO Box 33302, Charlotte, NC 28233.
He steadfastly lived by his two favorite verses from scripture.
"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" Psalm 118:24
Arrangements are in the care of Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service of Charlotte, NC.

Groselle a Senior CLASS finalist
The Citadel senior Mike Groselle, is a finalist for the Senior Class Award in men's basketball.
Groselle is a Plano West alum.
The award combines community, classroom, character and competition in its voting process.
Groselle excels in those categories.
The center is already 13th on The Citadel's all-time points list (1,238), third in total rebounds (686) and eighth in field goals made (501). Groselle has the highest field goal percentage in the 102-year history of the program and is the all-time leader in career double-doubles (25) and single season double-doubles (14 in 2011-12).
Groselle has done well off the court too.
The civil engineering major has a 3.693 GPA and holds the rank of captain on the team, which gives him captain rank in the Corps of Cadets.
Fan voting, which accounts for one-third of the final tally, is open at:
State swimming, wrestling to be webcast
FOX Sports Southwest will provide live webcasts of the State Swimming and Diving Championships as well as the State Wrestling Tournament.
The webcasts will be up Saturday.
The live web stream can be accessed at 9:30 a.m. at:
by clicking on the UIL championship banner for the respective sport.
Austin sportscaster Jeff Power, San Antonio Madison swim coach Bobby Duin and Angela Hamann will call swimming and diving with Randy Sumner and J. Carl Guymon announcing wrestling.
Fans in the Stands
The Plano West-Plano Senior boys soccer game is usually a notable happening on the sports calendar, but the Wildcats are trying to up the ante in 2013 with their "Fans in the Stands" campaign.
The game is 7:30 p.m. Friday at Clark Stadium.
As host team, the six-time Class 5A State Champions hope to draw 2,013 fans to the match and create a party atmosphere with halftime youth soccer, cheerleaders and drummers in the stands.

Sidekicks playoff opener set
Following Saturday's regular season finale against the Texas Strikers, the Dallas Sidekicks will turn their attention toward the playoffs.
Waiting at the start of the Sidekicks' quest for the PASL Ron Newman Cup is a team they're all too familiar with: the Rio Grande Valley Flash. The Sidekicks and Flash will square off in a two-leg series that begins on the road at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Game 2 is Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. from the AEC. In the case of a tie, the Sidekicks and Flash will play a 15-minute mini-game following Game 2.
Dallas and RGV have played four times this season with the Sidekicks holding a 3-1 lead.
Revolution trims roster to 30
With the first phase of training camp in the books, the Texas Revolution has narrowed its roster to 30 players.
Opening camp with roughly 40 players vying for a spot on the 21-man roster, the first leg of cuts were released Monday. Among the names who failed to make it was Allen alum Nathan Dick, who was in competition to be the team's quarterback.
Players who made the first cut and have experience in the indoor football scene with the Allen Wranglers included defensive back Frankie Solomon Jr., wide receiver Ramonce Taylor and defensive lineman Prince Hickman.
The 30 players on the roster will be in action today at 7 p.m. from the AEC as the Revolution host the North Texas Crunch in a preseason scrap.
Anderson picks up offers to Navy, Rice
The recruiting of Plano West junior running back Auston Anderson continues to heat up.
Anderson received his first official offer Feb. 6, Signing Day for the Class of 2013, when Northwestern came calling. Add Rice and Navy to that list with the former offering Friday night and the latter Monday afternoon.
The interest in Anderson makes sense.
In his second varsity season, the 5-foot-8, 175-pounder was a first team all-district and all-Collin County selection after rushing for 1,156 yards and 13 touchdowns. Anderson, who also runs track, was the lighting part of the Wolves' multi-tiered rushing attack in 2012 as the team advanced to the regional finals for the first time in program history.
West already has one Class of 2014 commit as linebacker Lance Cottrell is pledged to SMU.
Jones ranked No. 1 in North America
Plano native Seth Jones' march to become the first defenseman taken No. 1 in the NHL Entry Draft in seven years took another step Tuesday as he was named the No. 1 skater in North America in the 2013 midterm rankings by NHL Central Scouting.
Jones would be the first American-born player chosen No. 1 since Patrick Kane in 2007.
Jones plays for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
Jones is fifth among first-year WHL players with 28 points in 33 games. He also has a plus-29 rating. Jones has piled up the points in the past month as the 6-foot-3, 208-pounder tallied six assists and a goal in helping the United States win gold at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship.
The race for No. 1 is between Jones and Nathan MacKinnon (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League).
Nike Hoop Summit selects Randle
Prestonwood Christian Academy senior Julius Randle has been selected for the Nike Hoop Summit on Apr. 20 in Portland, Ore.
"Julius was obviously selected based on his ability to play basketball, but more importantly based on his character," said Chris Mayberry, Prestonwood head coach. "He has kept such a positive attitude dealing with the adversity of his injury and will continue to be selected for honors and awards because of his character."
The Nike Hoop Summit is one of the premier high school basketball showcases, pitting the country's top seniors against a World Select Team.
Randle is no stranger to such competition, capturing a gold medal on Team USA at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship last summer.
Planoite among Fan Cave finalists
Plano West alum Mina Park is among the 52 finalists for the MLB Fan Cave 2013 competition.
Park is representing the Texas Rangers, with a chance at moving to New York to watch every baseball game of the upcoming season while blogging, interviewing players and making creative videos. The competition's top 30 finalists are selected through fan voting, the original audition submission and ability to generate media buzz. Each finalist will be flown out to spring training in Arizona later this month.

With circuit training you can work many muscle groups in a relatively short period of time and get an aerobic workout at the same time. Here is how circuit training works and how you can get started.
Circuit training consists of a series of exercises performed sequentially. At the end of a circuit you might repeat the circuit, or within a single circuit you might repeat each exercise two or three times before moving on to the next exercise.
Circuit training can include a combination of aerobic and strength exercises. An example of the mix might include jogging, jumping rope, pushups, crunches, lunges, bench press, and squats. The cycle can take anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour to complete.
Strength training (or weight training) is often included in circuit training.
"It is important to remember that you should be able to perform 8-12 repetitions (reps) of the weight exercise if you are integrating it into your training session," says Michael Wood, CSCS, director of the Sports Performance Group in Boston, Massachusetts. "Circuit training is meant for general conditioning and is great for people who want to decrease their percentage of body fat," says Wood.
If you have never exercised or are just getting started again, circuit training is a good way to increase your lean body mass. As always, consult your doctor before beginning an exercise program, and then consult a trainer about developing a circuit.
"I have worked with all levels of athletes," says Wood, "and circuit training adds a variety that everyone can appreciate. A mundane exercise program can make developed athletes prone to injury because they become bored and lose focus on technique. To the beginner, monotony in an exercise program will eliminate the desire to work out."
"You can circuit train anywhere," says Chantel Durelli, an ACE-certified personal trainer in Hollywood, California. "I'll bring my clients to the UCLA stadium and have them run up the stairs, do a chest exercise with elastic bands, then have them run down and do crunches. They'll run back up and do curls, then down and do lunges. Two days later we'll go to the beach and jog, incorporating an exercise at each lifeguard chair."
You can do circuit training at home, at the gym, or wherever you exercise. Also, check if your town has fitness trails with circuit training stations located at regular intervals.
You will use all your major muscle groups when you circuit train.
"A good circuit includes an aerobic activity and specific exercises for each major muscle group," says Wood. "While I encourage clients to enhance their activities with circuit training, for many, it may be all they do during a busy month and it exercises their entire bodies."
The necessary equipment for circuit training varies from weight machines or free weights to almost nothing.
"There is a lot you can do with your own body weight, such as push ups, triceps dips, crunches, and lunges," says Shawn Thiboutot, CSCS, a trainer in Brunswick, Maine.
The constant motion of circuit training burns a significant amount of calories.
"The biggest advantage (of circuit training) to my clients is the efficiency of the workout," says Wood. "You can burn more calories in half an hour of circuit training than most people do in an hour of weight training." Beginning exercisers should not feel pressured to move at a fast pace. It is not a race; just try to keep moving.
It is best to work with a certified trainer when designing your circuit-training program. A trainer can make sure you have a good balance of exercises that include all your major muscle groups. You will not need to work with the trainer forever just until you understand the routine and can perform it properly. For a veteran exerciser, this may mean just one or two sessions with a trainer.
"Beginners should just walk through the motions the first time so they know what to expect," says Wood. "A beginner routine should only have six to eight exercises."
A typical program for beginners is to train twice a week for 30 minutes. Three other days should contain other activities such as walking or hiking. After a few weeks, beginners may want to increase the duration of the circuit by five minutes. The duration of the circuit training session should reach 45-60 minutes, three days per week. However, how often to train and how hard you will need to work depends on personal factors that you and your trainer should discuss to create a plan tailored for your needs.

Oh. I almost threw up my drink
I was just tasting while seeing this.
Lesson to be learned here.
Never put any type of sustenance
in your mouth whilst visiting E.I.T.
Its just way too much of a risk.
The Cointreau was tasting good too.

Voices that care...as long as you're American. If you're Iraqi, you can just fuck off and die. This truly is a turd, which I missed the first time around because I was in Grade 1 at the time.

I remember this video, and at the time, I liked it. One redeming feature is that Celine Dion looks somewhat normal.
I also recall that when this song/video was released, there was another cadre of celebrities and musicians who got together and recorded a remake of "Give Peace a Chance". There was some criticism of that group because it sent a negative message compared to the more support-the-troops-y "Voices that Care" song. - June 10, 2009 at 12:20 PM
This has got to be what inspired that hilarious "Sending our Love Down the Well" bit from the Simpsons.

I like how Michael Bolton can't be bothered to stand up when he sings. The song was custom made for the troops and it's called "Stand Up Stand Tall" for christ's sake! Nope, no dice.
- June 15, 2009 at 12:01 AM
Where in the hell was I when this epic POS was made? Meryl Streep, Mike Tyson, Harry Hamlin, Michael Bolton, Nelson, Debbie Gibson and the Fonz! There are too many shitty celebs to keep track of.

ugh , these people need to be reminded they participated in this brainwashing monstrosity & hateful fascist fuckery, everytime they appear in public to promote their latest POS projects, to be reminded that they whole heartedly agreed to the genocide of the Iraqi people and a big cash grab for the Bush Cheney Oil War Machine... everything IS terrible! You guys Rock U-S-A~!!!

i didnt know candace cameron was a soldier in the gulf war.
- June 17, 2009 at 1:42 PM
This song was made during Operation Desert Storm. The first Gulf War. George W. Bush had nothing to do with it you kool-aid drinking fucktard. Read up on history before you start talking. Save yourself from looking like and idiot - which is quite the feat I'm sure. - June 18, 2009 at 10:34 PM

@ Sam K: Looks like the "Give Peace a Chance" cover is where the cool kids were. Except Little Richard was apparently in both, defying the laws of nature as always.

Pro-war Anon, your ignorance of the links of the Bush _family_ with the military-industrial complex makes me think you, too, might have smeared your makeup had you been a female.

This doesn't have nearly half the impact as "We Are The World" did, mostly because Dan Aykroyd isn't awkwardly looming in the background.

I finally managed to watch the full version of the music video, and I have only one thing to say: Don King.

And here are some data about the sizes of each planet in Jupiter masses:
Gliese 876c: 0.56
HD 92788b: 3.86
HD 16175b: 4.5
HD 20367b: 1.07
HD 142415b: 1.62
HD 142b: 1
HD 108874b: 1.36 (that solar system also features a Jupiter sized planet 2.5 times as far away from the sun - maybe helping in the defence of a possible moon with life)
HD 150706b: 1
HD 190228b: 4.99
So from the data above i would say when we get those planets with a size like:
HD 92788b
HD 16175b
HD 190228b
... as possible planets with a Earth-sized moon around them.
Is the calculation of how big a moon typically would be if you for instance double the size of the planet? I mean, taking a planet with 2 Jupiter-masses, would that mean that it is likely we would get a 2 Ganymedes-masses moon around that planet or isn't it a linear calculation?
BTW: Would it be easier or harder to find a Earth-sized moon around a planet than a Earth-sized planet around a star if we would search just as many of each type? I'm not talking about in which situation there are most Earth-sized planets/moons, but what future telescopes like Kepler would find easier finding.

New(s) Easter Bunny in Town
Last Updated on Wednesday, 02 November 2011 22:49 Written by mpschop Tuesday, 26 April 2011 00:36
Happy Easter from everybody working night and day digging and poking in the code of LinuxMCE. There has been a change of watch. The bringer of news will be me from now on, till you all are bored with me, and/or vice verse.
Who is this newbie?
I am the serious version of somebody you might already know. I was/am BongoWongo.
My roots are not in IT at all, but in law. I am from the country that is squashed between United Kingdom, Germany and France. I do this as a hobby and a proof of concept. I am known for my good taste in jokes and testing almost every 0810 snapshot that is made available.
Take a look at http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Snapshot_overview
