Towles, Rodriguez take another step
Catcher, pitcher feeling good in return to action after injuries
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Catcher J.R. Towles will play in the Astros' game against the Reds on Saturday, after passing a final test on his hamstring during a Class A game on Friday afternoon.
Towles played six innings and had three plate appearances, and while he didn't have to run hard, he was encouraged that his hamstring didn't bother him while he crouched behind the plate. Towles recorded a flyout, a groundout and a walk.
"I took it pretty slow today," Towles said. "I felt good behind the plate. At the plate, I felt good, but I still can't run hard like I normally would."
Towles did some leg exercises in the training room after the game and said he felt some soreness, but on a minimal scale.
"Nothing bad," he said.
The feedback was enough to convince manager Cecil Cooper to insert Towles into the lineup.
"He didn't run 100 percent, but he was OK," Cooper said. "He'll play [Saturday]."
Left-hander Wandy Rodriguez threw the opening inning in that Minor League game, tossing 15 pitches with one strikeout. Like Towles, the reports were favorable. Rodriguez, recovering from a strained left oblique, will likely throw three innings in a Triple-A game on Sunday.
Doug Brocail threw 38 pitches over two innings in the Class A game. He allowed four hits and four runs, but only one was earned.
For the veteran right-hander, the outing was just another poor effort in a series of poor outings this spring. Brocail's results in the Minor League game won't count in the official spring stats, but for the record, he's made eight appearances, and only twice has he not given up runs.
"I was all over the place," he said of his outing Friday. "I didn't throw strikes, didn't have quality pitches. I was behind in the count on almost everybody. I'm concerned, because I care. Hopefully, things change come Opening Day and the next 162. That's the important thing."

The short-handed Vancouver Whitecaps have made some interesting moves to make up for the absence of several starters. Chief among them is putting Omar Salgado in the gameday 18 for the first time. The No. 1 overall pick in the most recent MLS SuperDraft only received clearance to play a couple of weeks ago and since then has been with the United States U-20 team. But with the U.S. crashing out of the tournament with a loss in the quarterfinals, he's back with the Whitecaps.
His return couldn't come soon enough. Eric Hassli, the team's Designated Player and leading scorer, will miss Saturday's game after receiving a red card on Wednesday. That is the second game this season that Hassli has missed due to a red-card suspension.
The other big change for the Whitecaps is Alain Rochat making his debut in the midfield. This is the third position Rochat has played in as many games, having appeared at left back and center back in his previous two matches.
Dynamo starters: Hall; Freeman, Boswell, Hainault, Ashe; Cruz, Cameron, Palmer, Davis; Weaver, Bruin. Reserves: Deric, Chabala, Robinson, Sarkodie, Clark, Dixon, Garey.
Whitecaps starters: Nolly; Leathers, DeMerit, Boxall, Wagner; Chiumiento, Brovsky, Rochat, Khalfan; Camilo, Harris. Reserves: Cannon, Duckett, Knight, Salgado, Teibert, Harmse, Akloul.

It's been two years since a north Georgia community was devastated by tornadoes that took the lives of eight people, but the city of Ringgold is making a comeback.
Maurice Robert, 75, lives on Cherokee Valley Road, which is called "Tornado Alley" today because six of the eight people who died lived there.
"All I could hear was that roar - that thing moving so fast. And I went in the house, walked across the living room, got in the bathroom, shut the door – bingo! Just like that it was past me," said Maurice Robert.
Robert lost everything to the twisters, but he was able to rebuild a new home.
"God is good. He preserved my life and gave me a new home," Robert said.
Catoosa County Emergency Management Director Steve Quinn says the community has pulled together after the disaster. They now encourage folks to use new technology to monitor severe weather in the event of another deadly storm.
"We're trying to get the word out as far as some free outlets that are available. Either on smartphones or the use of NOAA weather radios. We try to recommend that everybody has at least one in their home, and even in their place of business," Quinn said.
Steel posts are all that's left of a gas station that once operated on State Road 151. But two years later, businesses are still re-opening and breathing new life into Ringgold.
The return of a Krystal restaurant means more than just another place to get a bite to eat; to Don Hacker, it's brings new hope to his adopted home.
"It's more life. It's more of a second chance at life, you know," Hacker said.
The emergency management director says Ringgold residents have gotten the message and are much more vigilant during severe weather. One store even sold more than 1,000 NOAA weather radios in just one day.

Mason hit two jumpers, a layup and a dunk in OT to give Campbell a 73-69 lead, but Hewitt made four free throws to tie it at 73. Bussey hauled in a defensive rebound and the Eagles had a chance to win, but Ray stole the ball and made a lay up at the buzzer, his only points of the night.

Poindexter Named Director of Compliance at FGCU
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Florida Gulf Coast Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh announced on Monday that Shelana Poindexter has been named the Director of Compliance. Poindexter takes over the compliance roll from Jessica Rouse who now serves as FGCU's Athletic Academic Coordinator.
"We are delighted to have Shelana joining our FGCU Athletics staff," said Kavanagh. "In addition to her very congenial personality, she brings to our department a strong combination of experience in compliance, as well as a feel for intercollegiate athletics as a former student-athlete and with her athletics administrative background. I also want to relay our tremendous appreciation for the dual role that Jessica Rouse has assumed over the past five months in overseeing our compliance and athletic academic areas. We look forward to her now becoming our first ever full-time academic coordinator and in spearheading our continued resolve to generate classroom successes that demonstrate "value added" to the University in equal fashion to our numerous athletic accomplishments."
As FGCU's Director of Compliance, Poindexter will serve as the liaison between FGCU and the NCAA and the Atlantic Sun Conference offices for NCAA rules interpretations and other matters. She will also be responsible for developing and coordinating educational components for staff, student-athletes, booster organizations, and entities outside the athletics department on NCAA and A-Sun rules and regulations.
"I'm extremely excited for the opportunity to work for a growing Division 1 athletic department like FGCU," said Poindexter. "I'm looking forward to being a part of the department as it builds upon its already tremendous success."
Poindexter served the past two seasons as the Associate A.D. for Compliance and Student-Athlete Welfare at Georgian Court University, while also having the role as Senior Woman Administrator (SWA). At Georgian Court in Lakewood, N.J., her primary responsibilities included tracking the eligibility and progress of student-athletes to ensure compliance with the NCAA and Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC), implemented rules education programs for coaches and other staff members, documented and self-reported rule violations to the NCAA and CACC, and managed community engagement programs.
From 2006-08, Poindexter was the Assistant A.D. for Compliance and the SWA at her alma mater Abilene Christian University (TX). There she maintained all records of eligibility, academics and financial aid for roughly 430 student-athletes. Among her other primary responsibilities at Abilene Christian, Poindexter served as the liaison between athletics and the financial aid office, admissions and registar; completed all annual and semi-annual compliance reports and initiated the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills program.
Poindexter began her work in intercollegiate athletics with the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) from 2005-06. While working for NACWAA, Poindexter updated and maintained data within membership databases, while coordinating events at the 2005 NACWAA National Convention, along with multiple other responsibilities.
Poindexter graduated from Abilene Christian University where she was a four-year track and field letterwinner, and earned a bachelor's degree in business administration in 2004. She followed that with a master's degree in organizational and human resource development from ACU in December of 2007.

Mandolin Brothers is aptly described as an American institution. This Staten Island, New York store is not only a home where high quality and vintage instruments are sold but where a passion for music still reigns supreme in the heart of founder Stan Jay. "We are passionate about the music that results when a fretted instrument is played in a facile and melodious manner. If there is anything prettier than a soloist who performs instrumental or self accompanies, it is the sound of two guitars played in harmony", says Jay. It's this type of intimate connection to the music as both art and expression that sets aside Mandolin Brothers as an international destination for musicians.
Described by many as a kind of mecca for players of everything from guitars to ukuleles, dobros to, of course mandolins. Mandolin Brothers has been a source of instruments for a literal Hall of Fame of musicians the likes of Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Bela Fleck and Paul McCartney too name a handful. So much has been said and written about Mandolin Brothers that to describing its singular importance is impossible. And to list its significance would be a considerably lengthy exercise. One thing is clear – as one of the most discerning experts in acoustic instruments, Mandolin Brothers counts Guild Guitars as one of its stalwart residents. The Guild's live in a room called the "G" room. A room reserved for Gretsch, Gibson and Guild.

Scotland would have to 're-negotiate' world relations
Advice on what will happen to Scotland if it became independent from the UK will be published today.
A summary of the report, issued from Downing Street ahead of the publication, revealed that it was an "unusual step" for the Government to publish full legal opinion from experts.
– Government issued summary of the report on Scottish independence
If Scotland became independent, only the remainder of the UK would automatically continue to exercise the same rights, obligations and powers under international law as the UK currently does, and would not have to re-negotiate existing treaties or re-apply for membership of international organisations.

When seeking more productivity by purchasing new, more efficient computers, many government agencies focus on equipment performance benchmarks or initial cost. But agencies should look at the big picture - that means examining actual workloads instead of focusing on benchmark data. It also means looking at significant savings from reduced power consumption and maintenance after the purchase.

Advanced Fraud Detection Suite™
Identify, manage and prevent suspicious and potentially costly fraudulent transactions with our Advanced Fraud Detection Suite™ (AFDS). Customize its rules-based filters and tools to your business.
Add-On Product: + $9.95 /month
Fraud Hurts, Fight Back
According to the results of the 13th annual CyberSource Online Fraud Report, U.S. merchants lost an estimated $3.4 billion to fraud in 2011. The Advanced Fraud Detection Suite was specifically built to provide merchants with tools to better combat online fraud. Here's how the Advanced Fraud Detection Suite can help:
- Reduce Costs – Minimize and prevent authorization and chargeback fees as well as possible inventory loss resulting from fraudulent transactions.
- Protect Profits – Maximize legitimate transactions, rather than refusing business due to a fear of potential fraud.
- Maximize Flexibility – Customize filter settings according to your unique business needs.
- Improve Intelligence – Restrict transaction activity from specific Internet Protocol (IP) addresses using powerful IP tools.
- Easy to Use – A setup wizard guides you through the configuration process.
How it Works
AFDS includes multiple filters and tools that work together to evaluate transactions for indicators of fraud. Their combined logic provides a powerful and highly effective defense against fraudulent transactions.
In addition to the filters listed below, Authorize.Net also offers a new Daily Velocity Filter at no charge. The Daily Velocity Filter allows you to specify a threshold for the number of transactions allowed per day, a useful tactic to identify high-volume fraud attacks.
- Amount Filter – Set lower and upper transaction amount thresholds to restrict high-risk transactions often used to test the validity of credit card numbers.
- Hourly Velocity Filter – Limit the total number of transactions received per hour, preventing high-volume attacks common with fraudulent transactions.
- Shipping-Billing Mismatch Filter – Identify high-risk transactions with different shipping and billing addresses, potentially indicating purchases made using a stolen credit card.
- Transaction IP Velocity Filter – Isolate suspicious activity from a single source by identifying excessive transactions received from the same IP address.
- Suspicious Transaction Filter – Reviews highly suspicious transactions using proprietary criteria identified by Authorize.Net's dedicated Fraud Management Team.
- Authorized AIM IP Addresses – Allows merchant submitting Advanced Integration Method (AIM) transactions to designate specific server IP addresses that are authorized to submit transactions.
- IP Address Blocking – Block transactions from IP addresses known to be used for fraudulent activity.
- Enhanced AVS Handling Filter – The Address Verification Service (AVS) is a standard feature of the payment gateway that compares the address submitted with an order to the address on file with the customer's credit card issuer. Merchants can then choose to reject or allow transactions based on the AVS response codes. AFDS includes a new AVS filter that assists the decision process by allowing merchants the additional options of flagging AVS transactions for monitoring purposes, or holding them for manual review.
- Enhanced CCV Handling Filter – Like AVS, Card Code Verification (CCV) is a standard feature of the payment gateway. CCV uses a card's three- or four-digit number to validate customer information on file with the credit card association. Like the AVS Filter, the CCV Filter allows merchants the additional options of flagging CCV transactions for monitoring purposes, or holding them for manual review.
- Shipping Address Verification Filter – Verifies that the shipping address received with an order is a valid postal address.
- IP Shipping Address Mismatch Filter – Compare the shipping address provided with an order to the IP address of where the order originated from. This helps to determine whether or not the order is shipping to the country from which it originated.
- Regional IP Address Filter – Flag orders coming from specific regions or countries. You can choose to customize the filter actions based on an entire geographic area, or select country by country how to process transactions flagged by the filter.

Palm Beach Lakes WR Eddie Lovett out for regular season, DB Roderick Fields out at least one game
- 11:05 pm Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 by Post Staff
Palm Beach Lakes is going into its game against Dwyer a little banged up. The biggest blow comes from losing senior wide receiver/defensive back Eddie Lovett for six weeks with a broken arm. Lovett came down hard after a hit against Suncoast last Friday. Lakes coach Alonzo Jefferson said the Rams were hopeful they would get Lovett back in time for the playoffs if they make it, which at this point seems fairly likely. The Rams are trying out juniors Tommy Lee Lewis, Emarkis Gunn, and Javonte Simon as replacements.
Also out is cornerback Roderick Fields with a knee injury. Fields [More]

The best thing to hear out of minicamp is silence -- on the injury front. Thankfully the Panthers remain healthy at their key positions, and it appears the rookies are already separating themselves from the pack. This could be out of necessity, or perhaps the overhauls in scouting. Maybe it's Dave Gettleman's steadying hand is having an effect.
You can find all Pat's notes here -- but we're focusing on the most interesting.
I'm getting a vibe that rookie Edmund Kugbila will have a shot to beat out veteran Geoff Hangartner at right guard.
Piggy was abysmal last year, so I'm not going to gush too much over this. It's too early to be bullish on Kugbila, but the fact he's getting opportunities is proof positive that he could be a factor this year. We won't know until Spartanburg where he is developmentally, but it's important to remember he's making the same competition jump Amini Silatolu did last year, which resulted in a slow start.
Safety Robert Lester was signed as an undrafted free agent, but it's obvious the Panthers are very high on what he has shown so far. There have been times when Lester has gotten some work with the first team.
This is huge. It's justifiable to be excited about Lester. Whereas Kugbila is competing for a spot with only one real alternate, Lester is working against multiple players fighting for the strong safety job. I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- the Panthers are size-obsessed.
D.J. Campbell played well last year, but he's a smaller player. At 6-2, 210 pounds, Lester has near-ideal size to play strong safety. The risks are clear, and prevalent in his scouting report: He takes bad angles, he's not reliable in coverage, and doesn't possess the fluidity to flip his hips -- but he's in an organization intent on coaching up their youth.
Following the 2011 season Lester was projected as a potential early-round pick, provided he showed improvement in these lacking areas. He didn't, which is why we saw him available as a UDFA. If he ends up being able to listen to instruction, and winds up as the answer, this was a great pickup -- and a stroke of luck.
Speaking of Ginn, the Panthers have plenty of options in the return game. But I get the sense that what they ideally would like to do is have Ginn handle both punt and kickoff returns.
Here we go. This move makes it very difficult to justify keeping a spot open for Joe Adams, as well as making it a closer race between Armanti Edwards and Kealoha Pilares.

MADISON (WKOW)--Shelia and Dan Robertson have a pretty modest lifestyle and they work hard. But too much month at the end of the money made them realize they needed to get some answers and make some changes.
"Their biggest challenge was making it a focus. setting aside time once a day, at least, and seeing where they're at. who spent what, how much and making sure they were on top of everything," says Jenna Gordon, Robertson's Project Money coach.
After having them track their spending for a month, she says they found ways to save about $500 a month.

CATEGORIES MoviesThere are several ingredients to making a successful romantic comedy. You need a compelling storyline, a heartbreaking turn in the plot, and a moment where the two co-stars reconnect (preferably by running at each other in the rain in slow motion) and kiss. Then, as long as you have a charming male lead and a beautiful female co-star, you can sell it to the masses.

After the Carlos Zambrano trade, no one can write a paragraph about the Miami Marlins without including the word "circus." Even neutral ol' Google Images is getting into the act.↵
Which makes this tweet from a Marlins beat writer yesterday morning seem ominous.
After busy off-season, #Marlins offer this: Elephants from Ringling Bros circus will take batting practice Thur at new ballpark (media only)↵
No, really. The circus is actually rolling through Miami right now. Your job is to read every article about the Marlins today while singing that circus song.

Fairmount Elementary School Reviews
Fairmount is a terrific little school. Our child is in her 3rd year there and is very happy and thriving in the school's family-like environment. There are lots of actively involved parents and the PTA raises money to bring extra curricular activies to the school, such as Science through Nature, Drama, Dance, Art, etc. to further enrich my child's education. The teaching staff is amazing, as is the school's leadership. There is also a great after-school program on-site that offers homework assistance and fun clubs for kids.

Dear BBA Colleagues:
WE NEED YOUR HELP. The FY 2011 state budget conference committee met
last week and the conferees, are now trying to reach an agreement on the FY 2011
budget. Chairman Charles Murphy told State House News recently that the
budget conferees are aiming to have an agreement by June 21.
As practicing attorneys in Massachusetts, it is imperative that you weigh in
on this important issue. Further budget cuts will have catastrophic
consequences for court operations and will jeopardize the courts' ability to
deliver justice to the people of Massachusetts. As the Report
of the Boston Bar Association Task Force on the FY 2011 Judiciary Budget
stated, "further budget cuts would severely undermine the capability and
adequacy of our judicial system, particularly the trial courts, which are
already operating on the brink."
Please call the six members of the conference committee today and
urge them to hold onto the Senate funding level of $544.3
Even if the conference committee is able to agree on the Senate appropriation
this will mean a combination of furloughs, layoffs of up to 250 court employees
and continued court consolidations including resources to relocate at least 5
court operations in FY2011.
The Members of the Budget Conference Committee are:
Rep. Charles
Murphy 617-722-2990
Rep. Barbara L'Italien
Rep. Robert Hargraves
Sen. Steven Panagiotakos
Sen. Stephen Brewer
Sen. Michael Knapik

DIY C.O. Bigelow Inspired Rose Water Tonic
I used to love this stuff when I was a teenager. I loved C.O. Bigelow in general and it inspired many a trip to Bath and Body Works (especially during sales!). Their peppermint infused lip gloss made a gobby, sticky mess out of me... but I reached for those tubes *every time*.
Anyway, a quick glance at the ingredient list inspired two thoughts, a) ew... I don't love that being on my skin and b) I could totally make this.
Based on those two reactions, this recipe is altered a bit to include some more friendly ingredients and leave out the harmful ones. That being said, you'll need to keep it refrigerated and make small batches, I don't know how long it will last. Probably not more than a few weeks.
Start off with rose water. This is a very simple way of doing it, and there are more detailed versions on the internet. If you're committed to purity, google a version for distilled rose water and then come back when you've got your rose water. If you're looking for a the fast route, read on!
Once the rose water is done, the rest is super easy. Add in 1 tablespoon of high quality witch hazel for each 1/2 cup of rose water produced.
That's it! To use, apply with a cotton ball or pad. Remember again to store it in the fridge and discard after a few weeks.
I've been field testing some different ways to wash hair naturally without store bought shampoo OR baking soda. I used to be a big fan of washing hair with baking soda, but I'm reading that it's a bad idea long term. If you're interested or have any suggestions- let me know!
All the best, and as always, thanks for reading!

A Very Gatsby Anniversary Party
Their marriage and life have both been an inspiration to many. Marriage isn't easy, and as more and more end in divorce, it's astonishing and exciting to see couples that really do last for the long haul. It's even more admirable when the couple is still in love.
That is without a doubt the case for my parents. They honestly adore each other and if they had to, they would marry each other all over again. My dad wrote this to my mom yesterday...
"35 years ago, two kids (and I mean kids) affirmed their love for God and each other and set off to conquer the world, together. Well, the world is still as crazy and more so, but these two altered their world forever (she rocks mine), building a life that most only dream about. Sure there were scrapes and scratches. Any piece of art, any fine sculpture, gets many rough edges chiseled off, while the creator does his work. The end result is timeless. It endures, as has this union. Along the way, we've added kids and grandkids that anyone would be proud to call their own. I love you, Vicky and always will... And our world continues to turn.... stay tuned."
So sweet, right?
Anyway- in celebration of their marriage, my parents had a roaring 20's anniversary party! As usual, my mom basically made and did everything herself, and so I wanted to share the DIYness with you!
But first, let's start with what I did.
These shoes used to be forest green, but I didn't want to buy another pair of t-straps when these were already laying around and I NEVER wear them. They were leather, so the idea of spray painting them was very distressing- but it totally worked! 2 coats of outdoor metallic gold spray paint later- they were party ready.
Using mod podge, I coated the edges and then covered them in fine gunmetal glitter (also Hobby Lobby).
After the glitter dried, I used 3M spray on the backs of the posters and then stuck them to the glittered foam core.
I also did a few props for the photo booth. My mom bought a circus set of props on clearance, but some of them didn't fit the theme. The ones that didn't work were re purposed! I traced out bow tie and cupid's bow lip shapes on to the backs and cut out the shapes. Next I mod podged glitter on and allowed it to dry. Afterwards I used 3M spray on the fine glitter (bow ties) and another coat of mod podge on the thick glitter (lips) to seal it on. Otherwise it wouldn't last the night of abuse from a photo booth! Lastly, I reattached them to the old sticks with hot glue. You can also make these from scratch with wood skewers and card stock.
Finding a shade of pink to match would have been WAY too difficult, so I went with a nice gold that would tie my shoes in as well. Simply pin the fringe to the hem of your dress and either stitch it or hot glue in place. You can add fringe to the bottom of basically any loose or drop waist dress and make it more 20's inspired. My aunt went to Salvation Army and found a dress there, added fringe and had basically the same effect as mine!
For the rest of my costume, I hot glued a hair clip on to the back of a broken bow broach my mom found. I used used the pearls from my DOWNTON ABBEY post a while back, and some other pearls as well.
Makeup-wise, they wore a LOT of it then, but I couldn't bring myself to have a strong smokey eye, bright cheeks AND dark red cupid's bow lips. I went with just a really dark eye and bright cheeks paired with a raspberry lip balm.
On to the party! We started with a nice, empty space and went to town. My mom had three card tables set up with period correct card games. She also rented 2 pool tables and bought a third pool table that was child sized for the kids. There was a silent movie set up on a giant theatre screen (which we ended up not playing) and a photo booth. I didn't get everything pictured, but it was there!
My dad is a radio guy, so he used this equipment from the 1920's . It couldn't actually provide enough sound for the space, so there's a bose system underneath playing the top 100 hits from the 20's.
Even though it was THEIR party, they were the ones giving out the gifts! On the gift table, my mom placed a box of chocolate cigars. She made these herself with a chocolate mould and then covered them in dark foil. I believe she printed out the cigar labels and then cut them out and glued them on.
The gift bags contained candies and items from the era as well as bookmarks that you can insert photo booth pictures into.
She had lots of the dancing silhouettes all over the room too. There was one very art deco silhouette with missing faces for guests to pose with as well.
She brought her own props for the photo booth as well. Lots of props on sticks as well as boas, hats, masks, faux fur shawls (which she made herself), stoles and more!
She set up this little tribute to her own grandmother (who was an actual flapper!) which I found really sweet. Actual mirror, hand mirror + brush from the 20's, my great grandma's handkerchief, cloche hat, watch, perfume... all of it. And of course, a picture of the lady herself adorns it.
The guests were awesome and totally got into the theme! Nearly everyone chose to wear a costume, and they seemed to love the chance to dress up. In the above picture, my cousin Ruby is eating a chocolate mustache. I forgot to mention that my mom made those. She also shaped a cookie cutter into a saxophone for sax cookies! There were cookies with edible images of flappers on them as well. Oh! And a bartender who mixed 5 family friendly drinks from the era. Some of them were really, really delicious!
The happy couple! Congratulations, Mom & Dad! I pray you get *at least* another 35 beautiful years together. Thank you for your endless support, love, pride, advice, help and example. I love you to pieces and am so thankful you found each other.
Ps- my mom made her own head piece too. It's incredible. I may do another follow up post with specific details about other things, but this is enough for now! All the best, and as always, thanks for reading!

Knotted Back Sweater Refashion
Ballet clothes.
In fact, I build my ballet wardrobe the way most women build their work wardrobes. Whether DIY'd or purchased, I love adding to my stash of practice attire.
So even though I had recently purchased a new sweater for ballet (so cute, with thumb holes!), when the idea of changing this one up to use in class came, it had to be done immediately.
However- it isn't just for class! Paired with a high waisted pencil skirt, or over a bikini, this is fantastic option.
It started as a sweater purchased second hand from an online ad. I didn't get to try it on before buying and afterwards it fit awfully.
It was a high-low sweater and just ... way too high and way too low!
All the best, and as always, thanks for reading!

DIY Customized Celtic Knot Headband
This year our costume came with an especially unappealing scrunchie.
Yes- you read that right.... a scrunchie.
I thought those died out with the 90's?
I have a serious dislike for scrunchies that dates back to middle school when I was given a scrutinizing look for having one on my wrist and asked, "umm... why is your scrunchie brown when your outfit is pink?"
That was the last time I used one.
SO I was super relieved when the word was given to make something else! Originally we were going to do lace crowns, but one of the girls suggested something based on one of the headpieces worn by an olympic ice skater. The piece was way too complicated for me, but the idea could be used. I subbed in a celtic knot because our song has Irish roots and here we are! They were super easy to make, can be color customized and cost about $1.00- $1.50 each.
First I picked up some ribbon from Hobby Lobby. The spool was $1.99 for 15 feet, but you can get it on sale. I followed the instructions to make a celtic knot from THIS SITE (thanks to INSPIRATION & REALISATION for sharing the link!). It was easy to understand, but I recommend using a pin to hold the end of the ribbon rope in place. I used 3.5 feet of length for these knots.
Happy belated Saint Patrick's day! All the best, and as always, thanks for reading!

Life Hacks: Part 2
I did a LIFE HACKS post a while back and promised to make it a regular thing. Then forgot.
Today, we're bringing it back!
The idea is that these little tricks are too small for blog posts, but still things I wanted to share, so here are 4 more! Enjoy!HERE) on the underside of the bookshelf next to my side of the bed. I really love having a bookshelf next to my bed, PS. The shelf that is level with the bed has an alarm clock, lip balm, collection of hair ties, glass of water and other necessities. The rest of the shelves are storage.
The light is so useful for reading at night after John has gone to sleep. I also use it to find my eye mask, water or anything else during the night. The picture is taken in the middle of the night so you can see how bright it is. Multiple are installed, but I only have one lit up for the picture.
Spring is just around the corner, and I can't wait to get back to creating and refashioning clothes for the warmer weather. I hope you're excited for the new season! All the best, and as always, thanks for reading.

More InstaProject Ideas!
If you missed my other two instaproject posts, they were DOLLHOUSE FRAMES + also embellished MAGNETS. I have one more big idea, but haven't purchased all of the supplies for it yet. The rest of them are compiled into this massive posts!
Ready for more uses? Scroll on.
Stickers: The stickers are $10 for 252 from Printstagram.
Present tags/Labels: How exciting would it be to use these to label presents at Christmas time? I always say that kids LOVE seeing their little faces. You could also use them to label items for children who are too small to read and that would make it easier for small children to play "Santa".
Stickers to mark personal effects: This is super dorm-ish, but if you own multiples of a product, you could always label which one belongs to each person using these stickers.
JULEP polish for being less toxic than other brands. I thought it would be fun to customize bottles as a present. You could use stickers that remind you of the colors (such as the ballet slippers and flowers on the above bottles), or you could use stickers that represent the season, lastly- what about pictures of you + the recipient/your adventures together? This color reminds me of the time we (insert nonsensical activity here). It would make great bridesmaids gifts!
Large prints (squares): These are available in packs of 24 for $12.
Mostly, I like Squares for framing. I had considered sending them as postcards, but they don't meet the requirements. They're too small at 4"x4".
Children's Puzzle: Trace a puzzle shape on back of the print (depending on the age of the child) and cut it out for a fun little puzzle! You could laminate it first, or double it up on card stock (use 3m adhesive to attach the two for a seamless bond) before cutting out the puzzle to make it more durable.
Minis: Mini squares are slightly larger than 2 inches square and are 48 for $15.
Grab some contact paper and draw a straight line down the center of it. Peel off the backing and place your photos right against the line, one on top of the other. Fold the other half of the contact paper over the photos. Seal well. Trim the edges.
Garland: This is similar to the greeting card holder from Christmas, only I used mini clothespins (Hobby Lobby- they don't go on sale so bring a coupon) and painted just the top part light pink, and will probably go back and paint the bottom part white. For more instructions, see the greeting card post HERE. Switch the pictures out as often as you want!Hopefully I can finish the big one soon! Have a great day, it's paczki day for us and we *will* be enjoying some high fat polish donuts. All the best, and as always, thanks for reading!

By Catherine Litt
Daily News Staff Reporter
On Sunday morning, many Kamloops residents will attend Remembrance Day ceremonies in Riverside Park and St. Mary's Church to honour the lives of Canadian servicemen and women.
They will wear a poppy, placed respectfully on the left and closest to their heart, and will stand quietly, reverently, as they listen to a homily about war and sacrifice, about bravery and death.
During two minutes of silence, many will lower their gaze and, as the quietness washes over the moment, let their minds wander to the oldest veterans in the crowd, noticing how few of them there are, how deeply their numbers have dwindled over the past decade.
With each passing year, we are losing our oldest veterans and, with them, an appreciation and understanding of what their sacrifices truly meant.
There are no more First World War vets, few Second World War vets. Indeed, even the Korean War veterans' numbers are shrinking, as peacekeepers from numerous world missions and soldiers from the Gulf War and Afghanistan assume their place.
And we are left to wonder about those who were long lost on the battlefield.
Almost 100 years ago, a boy named Robert Brown left his home in Kamloops and went to war on one of the bloodiest, most unforgiving settings in history. He wrote numerous letters home between the summer of 1916 and the fall of 1917 and they are all that remain of him now.
As the community prepares to honour its soldiers past and present, we take a look at the life of one young soldier who fought in the trenches of France and Belgium — a boy in a man's war.
France, Aug. 5, 1917
... Three German prisoners walked over to our lines a couple of days ago and gave themselves up. . . . (One) said something about our next big push being our last because, there, the Germans would quit.
It's hard to believe all this old stuff and I, for one, don't count much on it. But I have my own opinions of the war and its conclusion. . . .
Your son, Bob"
The world was at war in the summer of 1916 when Robert Roy Poole Brown arrived at a military training camp in Vernon, a newly enlisted recruit with the 172nd Battalion–Rocky Mountain Rangers.
He was 17. Barely. The Kamloops boy had just celebrated his birthday and was only a few weeks into a post-high school job as a bank clerk when he volunteered to go to war.
The First World War was entering its third year and casualties were mounting on all sides.
Canada had already sent three divisions — more than a dozen battalions in each — to Europe to fight alongside Britain, Russia, Serbia, France and Italy against the invading forces of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And the battlefield had claimed many.
Earlier that year, Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden pledged in his 1916 New Year's speech to boost Canada's commitment by sending another 200,000 Canadian soldiers to Europe – his words enveloping the country in renewed patriotism and sweeping up dozens of young men in Kamloops in the process; among them, Bob Brown.
Brown, the eldest of three boys, was by all accounts patriotic, brave and as naive as any small-town kid could be — especially when it came to the horrors of war.
Between the summer of 1916 and the fall of 1917, Brown wrote dozens of letters home to his father, Alex, and brother, Gordon (nicknamed Shindy). The letters remain preserved in a file cabinet in Kamloops Museum's Mary Balf Archives, yellowed and faded from age, some torn and stained, but still readable, their words still emotionally stirring. In short, a compelling portrait of one boy's journey from a swelteringly hot training base in B.C. to the mud-and-blood-soaked trenches of Europe.
Aug. 29, 1916, (172nd Battalion training camp) Vernon
Dear Dad & Shindy:
. . . Talk about heat. Say, you should have been up here last Saturday when the colours of the 172nd Battalion were presented. Every soldier was dressed in full uniform and carrying a rifle. It was 96 in the shade and we stood at attention for nearly two hours. Only two men dropped out though. On the march back to camp we had to climb Mission Hill, which is every bit as steep as the hill at Prior's Store only about ten times as long. It was so darn hot that the badges on the collars of our coats burned our necks. . . .
In August 1916, Canada was preparing to send its fourth contingent of soldiers to Europe's Western Front.
Across the country, military training camps were preparing scores of newly created battalions, each containing about 1,000 infantry soldiers. They were to be deployed that fall to replenish the battle-drained 1st, 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions already on the frontlines of France and Belgium.
It was a war of attrition, and replacements couldn't be trained fast enough.
Sept. 26, 1916, (172nd Battalion training camp) Vernon
Dear Dad & Shindy:
. . . Sorry I didn't answer your letter sooner but they have kept us so darn busy lately working at night practising signaling, bomb throwing and bayonet fighting that we haven't had much time for anything. In fact we are going out tonight for bayonet fighting so I am writing this before breakfast as that is the only chance I'll get. . . .
Though they had yet to leave B.C., word was spreading about the Rocky Mountain Ranger battalion, and Brown proudly noted this in a letter home.
". . . The 172nd are regarded as the best battalion," he wrote. "It has the best Colonel and is the only one overstrength."
It would need to be. Its soldiers were heading to two of the deadliest battlegrounds of the First World War, where the losses would be devastating.
Oct. 15, 1916, (172nd Battalion training camp) Vernon
Dear Dad & Shindy:
Just a line to say that we expect to leave here on Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, so the latest reports have it. We are going pretty soon anyway because we packed the machine guns yesterday and all rifles are packed ready for shipping. C and D Companys along with the machine gun are leaving first and the others are leaving a couple of hours later. . . .
Within two weeks, Brown was writing home from Camp Bramshott, a military training site in Hampshire, England.
One of the largest gathering points for Canadian recruits during the First World War, Bramshott served as a base for training while battalions were regrouped, amalgamated or splintered into new formations before being sent to replenish the front lines.
Brown's arrival in England, and his resulting letters, reveal the youthful wonderment of a 17-year-old boy experiencing his first glimpse of the world.
Nov. 16, 1916, (Bramshott Camp)
Dear Dad & Shindy:
We arrived back in camp yesterday after a week in London. Some place believe me. . . . The buses are sure some fancy rig. There is two stories to them (the same as the train cars only the train has a roof over it). You can either sit on top or inside. The buses run on the main street and the trains further out. The buses are autos.
We were staying at the YMCA at London Bridge and every morning we would sit and watch the crowds coming over until we got tired and then we'd go out and see the sights.
We visited St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminister Abbey, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Parliament buildings, Buckingham Palace and numerous other places. . . .
Back at Camp Bramshott, the young soldiers may have wished they were still in London, as an arduous schedule of training began.
The recruits drilled from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Every third night, they marched with full packs on routes up to 13 kilometres long. "Fine life over here," wrote Brown.
But the rigorous training was the least of the Kamloops boy's troubles. He learned that the military was gathering all the underage soldiers and sending them straight back to Canada.
"Yesterday I picked up the paper and saw a paragraph headed 'Canadian Joy Boys,' " Brown wrote to his father.
"It said that all Canadian boys under 18 were to be sent back to Canada. It said that it had been decided by some committee or other that they had to go and that a detachment of them were leaving shortly for Canada. Ernie Batch [Batchelor] and I have to go before a board of enquirers because we were crazy enough to say we were 17. We might be in the detachment."
But there was no need to caution his father.
When it came time for the hearing, Brown and Kamloops pal Ernie Batchelor told quite a tale, managing to convince the military doctor they were both over 18.
And so the duo settled into camp life, an ensuing mix of homesickness and restlessness settling in with them.
Dec. 11, 1916 (Camp Bramshott)
Dear Dad & Shindy:
Your welcome letter received a day or so ago. I thought for a while that you had forgotten my address or something because I hadn't heard from you for nearly three weeks. It doesn't matter how many times I change camp always address my letters to the Army or General P.O. London. That is the only way that they are sure to reach me. . . .
. . . the second draft is supposed to leave in a day or so. The first draft left here nearly two weeks ago for France.. . .
Christmas passed with most of the battalion quarantined due to a measles outbreak. Confined to their barracks, Brown and his mates ate a disappointing meal of fatty pork and plum pudding on Dec. 25.
"If it wasn't for the few parcels we got we would have had a mighty bum time," he wrote.
New Year 1917 started much the way old one had ended – in quarantine – except for one significant difference: the dissolution of the 172nd Battalion into a newly formed 24th Reserve Battalion. It seemed Brown and the boys were getting ever so close to seeing action.
However, there would be little movement in the war during the winter of 1917, as both sides held impenetrable lines across the Western Front.
The Allies needed a breakthrough.
They would get it in April of that year, thanks to a strategic, Canadian-led attack on a German stronghold at Vimy Ridge in France.
A month later, Brown – who still had not yet seen combat – wrote his father to say he had reached a Canadian Corps training school in France, just "a few miles from the line." Close enough to hear the blast of rifles and shells.
"We are at present billeted out in a barn," he wrote. "It's not a bad one as it has a fairly good roof and straw on the floor. There are a few rats but they are so scarce they are hardly worth mentioning."
During this time, Brown got his first trip to the frontline in what seemed to have been more of a defence assignment than anything. The only action he described in a letter home, dated June 8, were two air battles he saw overhead.
"When we were up the line I saw a couple of fights between our planes and Fritzies [a nickname the Allied soldiers used for Germans]. The fights broke even. We got our plane and Fritzie got the other."
Brown did, however, get a sobering taste of German firepower during that initial deployment. It came when he was manning a Lewis machine gun.
"It's pretty exciting at times because when you do much shooting Fritzie generally puts over a couple of 'whizz-bangs' to try and scare us a bit. So you can take it from me we don't shoot any more than necessary."
By July, British forces had set their sights on capturing Belgium's ports, which the Germans were using as submarine bases. But to get to those ports would require a trip through hell. They had to capture the high ground of Passchendaele Ridge, which meant slogging through the inhospitable terrain of Ypres Salient.
Constant shelling had destroyed the area's drainage system, and huge bomb holes mixed with heavy rains to create a deadly swamp of mud and water that was vulnerable to German attack from three sides. The British and Australian troops took huge losses – 100,000 casualties – during first stage of the assault and desperately needed help.
But Canadian Commander Sir Arthur Currie was reluctant to send his troops. He commanded 20,000 soldiers, 16,000 of whom he predicted would be lost at Passchendaele.
While a political debate was launched about the merits of sending Canadian men into an obvious death trap, Pte. Brown and his peers, who were now part of the 47th Battalion, continued their advance against the German lines in France.
They would have seen plenty of bloodshed by that point.
Perhaps, not wanting to worry his father, Brown's letters home during the period of July and August reveal only a hint of the dangers he faced during street skirmishes in Lens. He wrote nothing about his new rank of Lance Corporal. The descriptive passages and youthful excitement from his earlier letters had given way to matter-of-fact brevity and a disjointed, almost robotic, tone that seemed designed to downplay scenes.
"We went over the top on Aug. 21 and had a pretty warm time," he wrote about one offensive.
"We advanced about 350 yards and then went about 200 yards past our objective. The fighting was all street fighting. Two men were killed and one wounded on the gun team I was on and it left me in charge. I can tell you we had a pretty exciting time.
"Steve McKay and Porky McArthur were both wounded. I don't think the wounds are serious. I was alongside Porky when he was hit and dressed his arm. He was hit in the right arm above the elbow by a piece of shrapnel and it broke his arm. Steve was no more than 10 yards away and was hit by the same shell. He got it in the leg and jaw. I don't know how I missed it.
"Several prisoners that were captured were only boys. One was no more than 15."
The last letter in the collection is dated Oct. 16, 1917 – a short, two-page update written on small note paper. Bob Brown had been overseas for almost a year and had just returned again from the frontlines. He expressed gratitude to his father and brother for sending him their latest letter and a pair of thick socks, both of which were welcome gifts from home.
He wrote in that final note about how his battalion was staying again in a barn. "It's the best bed I've had for a long time. We are sleeping in the loft and take a bunch of hay and use it for a mattress. Oh some sleep," he wrote.
But Brown kept the letter to just a few sentences as the battalion was busy polishing brass for a general's inspection the following day. He signed off with, "Write soon. Your son, Bob."
Ten days later, Canada was pulled into the battle of Passchendaele.
Next to Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele would go down in history as a defining battle of the war.
British troops were exhausted after three months in the field, yet their commander insisted on one more push toward Passchendaele. Canadian commander Currie's objections were overruled and on Oct. 26, Canada's four divisions began their advance, inching across a swamp of waist-deep mud and water-filled shell holes so huge they were a drowning hazard.
If the constant barrage of bullets and shells from the Germans didn't get them, the landscape would. One veteran later described the setting in an interview preserved by Library and Archives Canada.
"It was the most ghastly attack in which I ever participated because of the conditions and the fact that men who were wounded didn't have much of a chance to get out and if they tried to get out, in many cases they just were drowned."
We'll never know what unspeakable horrors Bob Brown saw on that muddy, blood-soaked field. He was severely injured by gunfire on the first day of the offensive, on Oct. 26, 1917, and died later of his wounds.
Commander Currie's prediction of 16,000 casualties was eerily on target. By the time the Canadians had captured the ridge on Nov. 10, their hard-won success was tempered by the realization that some 15,000 soldiers were killed or injured.
And as word of the victory swept through Kamloops, so did the shocking news that one of the city's own was among the dead.
The Brown family's mailbox, which had delivered so many of Bob's letters home to his dad and brothers, became a mournful portal for condolences.
Dear Mr. Brown:
On behalf of the Society of Wives and Mothers of British Soldiers, I extend sincere sympathy to you and your family in the great loss you have sustained in the death of your son Robert at the Front.
We can only say the brave boy gave his life in a good and noble cause . . .
Yours Sincerely,
Adelaide Johnstone, Secretary* * *
Dear Alex:
Just heard about poor Bob. It must have been a great blow to you as it has been to the rest of us. The best fellows always seem to go. Bob was the first of us to make the supreme sacrifice, and if something doesn't happen soon there will be a good many of us who will never come back. . . .
. . . I can assure you, Alex, that you have the deepest sympathy of the boys, as Bob was a fine chap and well liked by all who knew him.
Sincerely yours. "Porky" (McArthur)
The Kamloops Sentinel carried a story on Nov. 6 under the headline, "Bob" Brown Dies of Gun Shot Wounds.
The article mentioned how well-liked he was, how Bob was "a mere lad in high school" when the war began but that "he seemed to appreciate the significance of war" even then and spoke about going as soon as he could. The article ended with a reminder of how the war had, thus far, exacted its price on Kamloops.
During the past few months nearly all of the young boys in Kamloops have been wounded, some seriously and some barely touched, but the death of Robert Brown is the first reported among the bright young boys who left here in khaki more than a year ago.
Bob Brown was buried in a war grave at Nine Elms British Cemetery in Belgium -- Plot VII.B.9.
Today, not much is known about Brown beyond his letters that are stored in the archives. There are no known photos of him.
Almost a century has passed since he was killed and there are no First World War veterans alive to share his story or to remind us why we hold two minutes of silence on Nov. 11 for 18-year-old boys who died decades before we were born.
Time has an inevitable way of fading the significance of events and of lives lived. Heroes live and die in every generation and their accomplishments slowly, sadly and unstoppably drift into obscurity as new heroes and wars take their place.
Bob Brown was a hero. He was also just a boy who died an untimely death on a godforsaken battleground of mud and misery.
It was there, at Passchendaele, where fear collided with courage a thousand times over in a tangle of bayonets and bullets — where the living and the dead were separated, perhaps, not by destiny or a divine hand, but by a mere luck of the draw, as seemingly random as that street battle in Lens. Bob Brown dodged shrapnel then, as his buddies on either side got hit. At Passchendaele, the gunfire found him and left others unharmed.
As Alex Brown grieved his son's death, Adelaide Johnstone gave him a poem to think about. She hoped it might provide some comfort, some perspective, maybe, that Bob was in a better place:
"His day has come, not gone;
His sun has risen, not set;
His life is now beyond
The reach of death; or chance,
Not ended, but begun"

Forty years ago today, the Supreme Court
decided the roe versus wade case, which gave women the right to have an
abortion. Here in East Texas, health officials say education about abortion is
"It's a very personal and private
decision and the Supreme Court kind of stepped in," said Scott Tatum, Attorney.
In a 7-2 vote the Supreme Court ruled a woman
has a right to an abortion.
Since the court case 40 years ago
there have been an estimated 55 million abortions, that averages to about 3,800
a day."
"Its hard to imagine a more
personal decision, some people are uncomfortable with abortion being legal and
some people are very uncomfortable with state and the government stepping in,"
said Tatum.
Lisa Quattrini is four months pregnant and
believes women should have a choice. But she says she recognizes the importance
of every life.
"I feel its very important to
protect life, it's a complicated issue and we have the opportunity to say I
have the right to control my body, I think that's something that wouldn't
happen without the case," said Quattrini.
Pregnancy help center Executive
Director Paula Havard says she had an abortion at 19. She says many women make
the decision without understanding the consequences.
Since the women have the choice, Havard
believes they should make it an educated one.
In one hand we say its ok to have an
abortion but in the other hand we say when you make that choice you made your
bed you lay in it. There is help, there is hope," said Havard.
In recognition of the Roe vs Wade anniversary,
the Pregnancy Help Center of Lufkin is hosting a screening of "October Baby".

The Celtics are out to an early 9-0 lead, as every 76ers starter has missed one shot. The problem? In an attempt to keep the tempo high, the 76ers are rushing shots. Spencer Hawes's fadeaway in the lane on the third possession was a classic example. He wasn't completely open, but because he felt that was the best shot he'd get, he rushed it.
When you rush shots against the Celtics' defense, they get out and get points in the secondary transition. Philadelphia has to be more patient going forward.

RPMN: What is your current position?
I'm the Director of Operations for the 129th Rescue Squadron, HH-60G Division, although I'll soon be retired.
RPMN: Tell me about your first flight?
My first helicopter flight was in training at Fort Rucker, flying the Jet Ranger TH-67 as an Air Force student with the Army training cadre. There was pressure to be cool about it, but I had a hard time hiding my excitement. Actually, I was like a little kid. Just hovering ten feet in the infield was by far the most exciting and challenging flight I have ever done. I knew right away that flying helicopters was going to be my future.
My Two Cents Worth (April 2014 Issue)
by Randy Mains
I love aviation humor. I love it because I've found it always carries an element of truth. Consider the following homework assignment purported to have been written by a fifth grade student at Jefferson School, Beaufort, SC. entitled:
Why I want to be a Pilot
When I grow up I want to be a pilot because it's a fun job and easy to do. That's why there are so many pilots flying around these days. Pilots don't need much school.
The Less the Merrier: The Perils of Additional Insured
Written by Jeff Fleming, Leading Edge Insurance Agency
As a helicopter owner, especially a non-commercial owner, you may have been asked by the county or city that owns the airport where you park or hangar your aircraft to be added to your insurance as an "additional insured." You probably said, "Sure, why not?" Then you contacted your agent to get the additional party added, and the agent subsequently went to the insurance underwriter to complete the request. But exactly what was the airport/city/county really asking for?
Whether it's something routine, like overhauling one of its many starter generators, or a more urgent need, like replacing an N1 tach indicator that just quit on a helicopter stuck out in the field, when All American Aviation needs a part they contact Precision HeliParts (PHP).
There is a tongue-in-cheek saying that "A helicopter is 5,000 moving parts all trying to do you bodily harm!" Of course, I strongly disagree with the latter part of that statement. However, since every helicopter is indeed made up of thousands of parts, the scenarios above play out hundreds of times every day in a variety of ways all over the world. Fortunately, for thousands of operators in over 60 countries, PHP is part of their solution.

I'll be honest – Orlando originally wasn't on the top of my "places where I'd like to holiday" list. I always preferred the buzz of a city – eating in one-off restaurants, digging for records in little independent music stores, and soaking up the atmosphere.
But a few years ago, things changed. When it came to choosing a vacation destination, there was a new dimension – a child. That's right. We had welcomed a beautiful little boy, Cal, and a year later, we decided that we might be able to stay awake long enough to make it to the airport and onto vacation. It was far from a certainty, but we took the risk. After weighing up flight length from New Jersey, kid-friendliness, and chance of sunshine, Orlando was the best choice.
And I have to say…what a fantastic choice it was! We ate at nice restaurants with no frowning at the request for a high-chair. We took things at our own pace and enjoyed fantastic amenities at our resort. We went to a couple of theme parks and acted like kids. It really was a great family vacation.
Three years on, we've been back four times. We arranged a family reunion with both sets of doting babysitters (sorry, grandparents) and also met good friends from England with their toddler. We've had so much fun, enjoyed excellent food, found countless bargains at the outlet malls, and "ooh'd" and "aah'd" at the theme parks and shows.
Best of all – I even found an awesome record store.
This week on the RCI Blog, we'll be sharing stories and photos from RCI subscribing members who have also visited Orlando. Be sure to come back to read about their vacations!
