DLP WDS Wins 2014 THEA Award for "Best Themed Restaurant"... but Universal Wins "Best Attraction" Award for Escape From Gringotts
That's it, the 2014 THEA Awards ( the equivalent for theme parks and museums of Hollywood Academy Awards ) have been announced at Orlando IAAPA Expo and Disneyland Paris got the "best themed restaurant award" for the Ratatouille "Chez Rémy" restaurant, which it fully deserves. However DLP WDS didn't get the "best attraction award" for the Ratatouille ride, which is going to Universal for the Escape From Gringotts ride, which as you'll probably agree was a tough competitor.

First Trailer For Live Action Cinderella Movie !
The first trailer for the live action Cinderella movie has been released, as well as the new poster above and a series of production stills that you can see on the D&M Facebook page HERE. Cinderella is directed by the great Shakespearian actor and director Kenneth Branagh, the also greats Cate Blanchett is playing the evil step mother and Helena Bonham Carter the fairy godmother and here is the synopsis:
The story of Cinderella follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella's father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind." She will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella's hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham-Carter) steps forward and -- armed with a pumpkin and a few mice -- changes Cinderella's life forever.

Planet J , Asia's First Live Action Role-Play Theme Park Will Open Summer 2015 at Macau's Sands Cotai
Asia's first live action role-play theme park, Planet J, is expected to launch at Macau's Sands Cotai Central in summer 2015 - Macau Cotai strip is the equivalent of the Las Vegas strip - and it sounds to me like a kind of Disney Quest which would use the newest technologies. The park will cover an area of over 9,290m2 at the Sands Cotai resort complex and will be the first permanent theme park in the district. Its new concept will allow park attenders to physically act out the actions of fantasy characters in role-play games, pursue goals, and interact with other adventurers within an out of this world setting referred to as the Magic Stone Kingdom.
Each guest – or player – will be supplied with a 'magic book' – a personalized mobile equipment that connects with over 200 games in the theme park, fusing technology and experimental storytelling. Players will then proceed through a number of themed game-areas, completing challenges that test their "wits, stamina and speedy reactions." Planet J will record each player's game progress and history on its general system. When a player returns to the park, all their information can be reactivated, allowing them to attempt higher level and more difficult games.
Jumpin Gym Digital Entertainment, the parent company of Planet J, said that the project was in development for over eight years, and they expect the park will attract over three million visitors from around the world : "We are absolutely thrilled to be presenting Planet J to the world," said Damon Chan, chairman of Jumpin Gym Digital Entertainment, who was also behind work on several Universal Studios and Disneyland attractions.
"Planet J is a truly new revolutionary model – breaking out from entertainment offered by conventional theme parks. We have the vision for Planet J to become a leading global chain of interactive themed destinations." This indoor interactive theme park is expected to cost over MOP $1 billion (US $125.2 million).

Orlando Skyplex's Skyscraper Roller Coaster Will Be a Hell of a Coaster !
The official presentation of International Drive's $250 million, 495,000-square-foot Skyplex entertainment complex to open in 2017 happened recently and Mango's Tropical Cafe and US Thrill Rides unveiled at the IAAPA Expo the first ride-along video of the centerpiece attraction, a stunning 570-foot-tall Skyscraper polercoaster. The top of the coaster will also have an observation deck accessible by elevators.
"With the addition of The Skyscraper and the amazing Skyplex, Orlando will once again cement its reputation as the attractions capital of the world and the No. 1 vacation/convention destination," said Joshua Wallack, managing principal of Skyplex and COO of Mango's Tropical Café, in a prepared statement. "We're certain this thrilling new iconic coaster and facility will attract countless more attraction enthusiasts and visitors to the area."
This amazing coaster will execute loops, dives, spirals and inversions all on the exterior of the tower, during a full four-minute ride, and it was designed by Orlando-based architectural firm HHCP and will be built by Euforria LLC, a division of Winter Park Construction.
They've released a perfect CGl preview video of this Skyplex's Skyscraper roller coaster and, boy, this one will be impressive... and scary! It'll be for sure a hell of a coaster, but which one of you will dare to ride it! Watch the video full screen and in the higher definition!

Christmas Everywhere !
Christmas season has started in all Disney theme parks and let's have a look around the world in videos! let's start by WDW where "A Frozen Holiday Wish" started a few days ago on the Castle Forecourt Stage at WDW Magic Kingdom with Anna, Elsa, Olaf, etc... and of course this year, guess who is the one who froze the castle? A little bit obvious, but very well done!
At Disneyland, Jingle Cruise - the Christmas version of Disneyland Jungle Cruise - is back and, because DL guests found it a bit disappointing last year DL Imagineers have decided to improve it this year. And, boy, not only they did it - much more Christmas decorations everywhere - but may be they've been a bit too far! Anyway, this new Jingle Cruise is now pretty funny, if not hilarious, although sometime limit with ridiculous, but i like it, i think it's fun. Have a look at the video below coming from SoCal Attractions 360 !
Always at Disneyland, the Disneyland Christmas Fantasy parade with Frozen Anna Elsa...
... and Olaf and of course the Nightmare Before Christmas at Haunted Mansion.
At Disneyland Paris, the Christmas press event this week-end with the usual gang of invited VIPs that you'll see on the video below. DLP also released a cool short video presenting the "Enchanted" Christmas season!
And of course there is the fantastic Disney Dreams of Christmas! projection show on Sleeping Beauty castle. If you've not seen it yet, here it is again.
At Hong Kong Disneyland too, it's Christmas and even a "sparkling Christmas"!
They even have a puppet show in Fantasyland ( yes, a puppet show like in the good ol' days ) with Olaf from Frozen searching for summer!
We'll end by Tokyo Disneyland where the Christmas season will run until December 25th...
...and during which you can see the great Disney's Santa Village Parade!

Why You Shouldn't Get Too Much Excited About Shanghaî Disneyland
Last Thursday, Shanghaî Disneyland released new artworks, not showing the park but mostly SDL hotels and Disney Town. But thanks to a bird eye view rendering of the resort we were able to see a bit more about this new and highly awaited Disney theme park on China main land. Now, and although the park will have some attractions that you've never seen anywhere else, i suggest that you don't get too excited about it - or only "reasonably" excited - to avoid any disappointment. Don't get me wrong, Shanghaî Disneyland Imagineers are doing their absolute best to create a great theme park, and one which will be very different than all others Magic kingdoms we know, with many rides that will be unique, but having too high expectations might be the wrong thing to do, and here is why.
First, there is the number of lands. If you listen to the official statement Shanghaî Disneyland will have 6 or 7 "lands" ans this don't include the addition of Toy Story Land which was not visible on the bird eye view artwork. It doesn't mean they won't put it as i suspect them to want to add it either later or shortly after park opening to keep in the sleeve the announcement of "something new that will bring more capacity to the park"... when in fact we know that the three rides of TSL have a limited capacity. And by the way, it won't even be three rides but two only as the Parachute Drop ride is not envisioned for SDL. Probably the idea of having a U.S military camp theming on China main land was not that good after all. Or may be it was a question of visual intrusion of the high towers of Parachute Drop...
So, let's have a look at each lands and, although SDL won't be small at all, you'll see that the park might be not as big as you may think. First, right after the entrance you'll find Mickey Avenue. Yes, there won't be a Main Street U.S.A at SDL and Mickey Avenue is what is replacing it. But if you look at the artwork you'll see that this Mickey Avenue won't be as long as Main Street. I don't know how long really it will be but my guess is that it should be half the length or so of a regular Main Street U.S.A. Still, it's counted as a "land" - and it is on a certain point of view if we consider that what makes a land is also a special theming. And Mickey Avenue will have indeed a unique theming that you won't find anywhere else at SDL with building of different architecture from different countries. But saying that it's a "land" sounds to me a bit too much, or if we have to, then we must also consider DLP WDS Studio 1 as a land...
Anyway, let's move to SDL Central Plaza - ooops, sort of, as at SDL it won't be called Central Plaza but "Garden of the Twelve Friends" in reference to Chinese mythology. Yes, it will be also a garden with floral elements, as well as water and two "B"ticket rides, the Dumbo ride - identical to the one you know - and Fantasia Carousel - a revisited version of the Carousel with Disney characters where you have wooden horses on the original one. Here is the first "new" attraction that you can put in the count. Still, if someone was telling you that Central Plaza at WDW MK or TDL - where they have the biggest ones - was a land you'll probably answer "are you kidding me?" and you would be right. But at SDL, thanks to the garden elements and the Dumbo and Carousel rides they DO consider it as a land, and so do we have to... even if it sounds like a bad joke. By the way the re-named of this "land" previously called "Gardens of Imagination" and now "Garden of the Twelve Friends" will also help to legitimate the "distinctly Chinese" of Bob Iger's famous quote about how SDL will be ( "Shanghaî Disneyland will be authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese" ).
Let's move to SDL Enchanted Storybook Castle and Fantasyland. Okay, here we should have a land which will be as big as real land. So far the huge SDL castle is not counted as a land itself but i wouldn't bet that they won't do it. And in Fantasyland, what will await SDL guests? Peter Pan's Flight, Winnie the Pooh, an Alice in Wonderland maze - probably close to the one at Disneyland Paris, Hunny Pot Spin, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Journey to the Crystal Grotto. And i don't count as a ride Sword in the Stone and Once Upon a Time Adventure inside the castle because they won't be rides - as far as i know - as well as the Castle Stage Spectacular which will be a show. From what i've been told the Winnie the Pooh ride will be the DL version - and not unfortunately the trackless TDL version - and the Peter Pan ride should be identical to the upcoming upgraded version at DL, may be a bit bigger. Hunny Pot Spin will be a B Ticket and we all know what is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Which, if there is no new additions in a near future, leave SDL Fantasyland with ONE truly new ride, the Journey to the Crystal Grotto boat ride. I won't get here in the debate about the castle that some find too big, i just hope that there will be enough space between Mickey Avenue and the castle to don't have the feeling to have the castle "on the nose", as we say in french. But SDL Fantasyland is a real "land" in size and that's the first one that we can count as having authentically all what is needed to make an authentic Disney park "land", i.e not only a unique theming but also the size.
Let's move to Adventureland. Well, actually there won't be a land called "Adventureland" at SDL but "Adventure Isle" and "Treasure Cove". And yes, each one is counted as a land when in fact it's only together that they'll have a size equivalent to what is normally an Adventureland, like the one at DLP for instance. Nevertheless, in Adventure Isle you'll find a Camp Discovery, Roaring Rapids and Soaring over the Horizon, and an Adventure Isle Stage. Camp Discovery will be most probably an Adventure Isle version of the kids playground area with suspended bridge, etc... that you could find at the former DL Tom Sawyer Island or DLP Adventure Isle, and Soaring over the Horizon is the new Soarin' version that will come six months after SDL opening at DCA and Epcot - or even eventually at the same time if SDL opening is delayed until mid 2016. That leaves us with the Roaring Rapids raft ride, the one supposed to include Audio-Animatronic dinosaurs. And don't ask me how many dinos will be in the ride as not too long ago i've heard that Disney did a cut in the budget, so many of the AA dinosaurs envisioned had to be delete. But as Bob Iger announced recently that $800M will be added to make things better may be a part of this money will help to have the deleted dinos back in Roaring Rapids... let's hope so. You'll note also the huge rock wall surrounding Roaring Rapids which reminds me the kind of big rock work they did for DCA Cars Land Radiator Springs Racer, but here of course it will be sculpted with a different style.
Then, right next door you'll find Treasure Cove with a brand new version of the POTC ride "Pirates of Caribbean: "Battle for the Sunken Treasure", a Pirates stunt show, Explorer Canoes, El Teatro Fandango, and - but don't count them as rides but mostly as walk-through playgrounds - Barbossa's Bounty and Shipwreck Shore. The POTC attraction will be really a brand new version of the beloved ride and if you need only one reason to come to Shanghaî Disneyland "Battle for the Sunken Treasure" will be a good one. I know most of the story line of it and there is really some genius ideas, but don't ask me as i won't tell you ( just think at the unthinkable and you'll be close ). The pirates stunt show will be a premiere too - although one was envisioned for DLP years ago... and canceled as usual - and the Explorer Canoes will be a SDL version of the Indian Canoes we all know. The canoes will help too to bring some kinetic element in Adventureland. In any others Disney theme park Adventure Isle and Treasure Cove would have been included together in one land - which would have been called "Adventureland" - but at SDL they will be counted as "two" lands which in fact will have the size of one real land. So, so far we have two "real" lands - in terms of size which are Fantasyland and Adventure Isle and Treasure Cove together. Keep this in mind, you'll see why.
By the way, talking about kinetic elements, because SDL won't have a Main Street or Frontierland, it means no steam boats, no vintage cars, no double decker trams, and no railroad going around the park too, as well as no monorail. This lack of kinetic elements - something more important than you can think as these are moving elements entering in your vision field even if don't ride them - has been counter balanced by having rides with moving elements that can be seen from the outside. Like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Fantasyland and may be the boats of Journey to the Crystal Grotto, the Tron motorbike coaster trains - more about this one in a minute - as well as the Dumbo and Fantasia Carousel rides in front of the castle. Imagineers didn't had the choice, a theme park needs kinetic elements to bring visually some "life".
There is just one more land to look at and it's Tomorrowland which will include Tron Lightcycles Power Run motorbike coaster, Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue, Stitch Encounter and Jet Packs. A Tomorrowland Stage is also include for some entertainment. Let's have a closer look at the rides. Jet Packs will be - at the land entrance and probably with a new design - the usual "jets" B-ticket ride that we find in each Tomorrowland. So far, no surprise. The Stitch Encounter will be similar to Stitch Live at DLP WDS or at HKDL Tomorrowland, using the same technology than Turtle Talk with Crush. Something for young kids, so. The Buzz Lightyear ride is rumored to be a brand new one and it could be a kind of Toy Story Mania re-themed on the world of Buzz. I'm not 100% sure on this one so take this with a pinch of salt. And then there will be the awaited Tron Lightcycles Power Run motorbike coaster which apparently will start with a catapult launch and a huge outside loop - under a structure called "Tron Cover" - before having the track getting inside the show building. Everyone have big expectations about this ride, not only because it'll be the first Tron E-Ticket ride - and WDI can do something great with a motorbike coaster which will fit perfectly with the theme of Tron - but also because it will be the main Tomorrowland E-Ticket replacing Space Mountain which won't be built at SDL. Personally, from the pictures i've seen of the construction site, the show building looks a bit small to me and i would have seen a longer one to have the needed depth to bring the illusion of the world of Tron. But a bigger show-building - basically, a bigger "box" - would have been more expensive too and, as i've said, the fact to have a part of the track going outside will also bring some kinetic element in Tomorrowland.
SDL Tomorrowland - at least on the map - don't look that huge to me, and certainly smaller than DLP Magic Kingdom. But they still have room for future additions, and DLP Discoveryland was not that big too at opening day, so let's say that we will count SDL Tomorrowland as a "real" land. So, if we make the count we have so far three "real" lands - in terms of size - Fantasyland, a big Adventureland which include Adventure Isle and Treasure Cove and a not too big Tomorrowland. Then you'll have the short Mickey Avenue and the huge "Central Plaza / Garden of the Twelve Friends" which, to be kind, we will count as one land together, and that's all. Which makes four lands where SDL counts them for six, probably for marketing reasons as it helps to give the feeling that the park is bigger than it is, or simply because they count a "land" depending of the theming and not the size. But the good news is that Shanghaî Disneyland has plenty of room available backstage for future expansions, and hopefully it'll be a real big "Magic Kingdom" in the future. For Disney fans the park won't have too many new attractions too and if we do the count we have mainly Fantasia Carousel, Journey to the Crystal Grotto, Roaring Rapids, Pirates of Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, the Pirates stunt show, Tron Lightcycles Power Run and eventually Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue, which makes six or seven new attractions only, but they include four new E-Tickets.
In conclusion, so far, just think about Shanghaî Disneyland as it is and not as SDL marketing dept will try to "sell" it to you, remember also that WDI Imagineers are doing their best, and if you don't put your expectations too high you should not be disappointed.
Editing: Considering some of the comments to which i've answered, i would like to avoid any misunderstanding. Basically, what i'm saying is: don't trust the number of lands to determine the size of Shanghaî Disneyland. SDL will be big, probably not as big as DLP at opening day - because it will lack a land ( Frontierland ) and the opening street won't be as big as Main Street U.S.A - though certainly much bigger than HKDL, but not as big as SDL marketing dept will "sell" it to you. But it's going to be such a different kind of Magic Kingdom that i , personally, can't wait to visit it.

Words can not express the sheer coolness that is this animation! Honestly, that is some quality stuff. I can't even imagine the amount of work that had to go into two separate frames, let alone all of them. And the choice of fluorescent clay made it look positively otherworldly.
I salute your awesomeness, sir!

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this?

Kids aged 6 weeks to 6 years choose their own adventure at Portside Montessori. There, classrooms are divided into six sections, which correspond with six areas of learning: practical life, sensorial, language, math, cultural, and creative subjects such as art and music. All the class materials for each area are placed low to the ground where kids can reach them instead of perched up high collecting dust. Kids can easily go from area to area based on their interests at the time, exploring abstract math concepts, reading, or playing music. Teachers stand by to guide children along their journey but are careful to allow them a sense of independence.
For more than 20 years, KidsPark childcare centers have helped youngsters aged 2–12 boost their social and motor skills in a safe, educational environment. The staff—certified in first-aid and CPR, background checked, and trained in early-childhood education—keeps a close watch on each kid that explores the open floor plan, where six activity areas vie for attention. Cooking and science projects wait in the Creation Station, baskets and balls beckon from the Sport Court, and the sound of music and stories leads ears straight to the Theater. And school-age kids can join the Blue Crew, where they find homework help, nonviolent video games, and the chance to compare resumés with other children. KidsPark also hosts private parties and offers preschool classes.
Run as a parent co-op, Bright Beginnings Preschool, a secular program located on the grounds of Journey Church, involves pupils' guardians in every aspect of youthful education. A cadre of energetic teachers lead classroom activities and provide continuity, and volunteer parents play backup by coming into the classroom to help on a rotating schedule. This involvement lets them bond with their kids and learn about early-childhood development while supporting teachers during games and art projects. Monthly meetings and a committee further integrate parents into the school, giving them the opportunity to discuss changes in the curriculum and plan for the school's future.
At Kids Party Central, gaggles of children bounce upon inflatable fortresses, glide down air-filled slides, and splash around colorful ball pits in a nearly 10,000-square-foot recreation center. Throughout the week, open-play sessions reserve for public use the facility's many attractions, including floatable forts embellished with soccer balls, pirates, and animated pals from movies such as Cars. Like particularly classy kennels, KPC requires all guests to wear socks. The center also suggests that kids don nylon pants for maximum speed on the slides and that they abstain from duds featuring zippers or hooks that may scratch play surfaces. Adults are welcome to play as well, although those found not keeping an eye on their miniature companions will be put in time out.
ChaCha's Doggie Day Care keeps dogs frolicking most of the day before letting them pass out in private suites equipped with bedding, chew toys, and relaxing music. Encouraging canine exercise, the cage-free facility features climate-controlled indoor and outdoor play areas equipped with pools, hoses, snuggle blankets, balls, and hand-shaped seats large enough to make mastiffs imagine life as a chihuahua. Thanks to a 24-hour webcam system, owners can watch as their pooches play, eat, and sleep. ChaCha's Doggie Day Care adamantly adheres to rules and regulations in place to protect the safety and health of both workers and furry guests.
As soon as children are old enough to walk, they are old enough to begin honing their coordination, body-awareness, and basic motor skills through engaging and age-appropriate gymnastics lessons. That's the central philosophy driving the instructors at Byers Gymnastics, which has four locations, and a 40-year legacy of providing both basic and competition-level training for boys and girls ranging from toddlers to teenagers. While youngsters learn the fundamentals of jumping, balancing, and rolling, older students can master more challenging routines and learn to safely use various pieces of traditional gymnastics equipment, such as the balance beams, floor, vault, and tumble trak, and the slightly off-kilter stepladder. These year-round programs cater to visitors of virtually all interests and levels, and share the common goal of building stamina and flexibility, while also teaching students the value of perseverance and self-determination.

In response to the Boston Marathon bombing, authorities are deploying a "security overlay" for Sunday's 13th annual Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon that will include uniformed police along the entire 26-mile route.
Security 'overlay' will protect runners, spectators Oklahoma City marathon
Plans are for anyone running or watching to be within sight of a law enforcement officer at all times, said Leon Gillum, security director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.
Stepped-up security also will be in place at the start and finish lines downtown, around the federal buildings near the National Memorial, and at the Murrah Plaza.
The most obvious effect on runners will be a restriction on "running with backpacks or anything other than normal running apparel," Gillum said.
"We have a lot of different runners that come in that want to carry or run with some different type garb," he said. "It's counterintuitive … to allow people to run with a backpack.
"It's just common sense in light of Boston events."
Some 26,000 people are expected to take part in the marathon and associated events, including a wheelchair marathon and children's race. Add in spectators and the total exceeds 40,000.
Runners include a half-dozen who were still on the Boston course when the bombing occurred and were unable to finish, said MaryAnn Eckstein, a spokeswoman for the Memorial & Museum. They were offered free registration if they wanted to run in Oklahoma City.
The Memorial Marathon commemorates the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. It is the memorial's biggest fundraiser.
Runners with a good enough time can qualify to run in Boston.
The Boston bombs were concealed in backpacks left near the finish line.
Spectators' bags
Oklahoma City organizers are spreading the word to everyone — runners, visitors and residents who come to watch — that backpacks should be left at home or in the hotel.

We have no reason to believe it's going to be anything other than a beautiful day and a beautiful race and a way to honor the 168 victims of the Murrah bombing in 1995 and to remember those victims of the recent Boston tragedy."
Leon Gillum,
Security director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum

US warning to hospitals on Medicare bill abuses
Saying there are "troubling indications" of abuse in the way hospitals use electronic records to bill for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, the Obama administration warned on Monday that it would not tolerate what it called attempts to "game the system" and vowed to vigorously prosecute doctors and hospitals implicated in fraud. The strongly worded letter, signed by the attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., and the secretary of health and human services, Kathleen Sebelius, said that "electronic health records have the potential to save money and save lives." But the letter continued: "There are troubling indications that some providers are using this technology to game the system, possibly to obtain payments to which they are not entitled."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Yule tale a lesson for boys who peek
Story brings to life kids' worst horror
A Christmas horror story.
That was the tale told beneath the snow-quilted rooftop and chimney-smoke tendrils of the Redekop household each Christmas.
Note: A regular Open Road will return next time.
Of course, we always had a nativity scene at our house that told the Christmas story just to look at it. Someone would invariably rearrange the figures for fun. Occasionally, one of my gun-totin' cowboy figures would wander into the stable to embellish the story a bit. This is a holdup! Hand over the baby!
No, the story told on snowy winter nights in our Kildonan Drive home, overlooking Fraser's Grove Park, was the chilling tale of the Epp boys.
We'd never met the Epp boys. We didn't want to. They would have been too psychologically scarred by events that Christmas.
Their parents had warned them. Why didn't they listen? As Christmas drew near, their parents warned the boys that whatever they did, they must not go into the parents' closet.
I'm not sure where Mr. and Mrs. Epp were at the time of the incident. Perhaps they were in the basement. Most likely, they had gone out. Parents left kids alone at a younger age back then.
When the parents returned, the boys were so caught up in playing with the toys in their parents' closet that they didn't even hear them. They were only roused from their rapture by the mighty roar of their father standing in the doorway.
The very next day, Mr. Epp returned all their presents to the store.
The boys were in a state of disbelief. Christmas morning arrived and there were no presents under the tree. The boys cried and cried. They cried all Christmas morning and all afternoon. Their eyes were bloodshot from crying so hard. (My dad seemed to relish telling this part of the story.) At some point, they probably wiped away the tears and vowed to hate their father for the rest of their lives. Then they cried some more. But parents were strict back then. Their father wouldn't give in. "He was tough," my dad would say. Beastly is a word we might use today. The boys received no presents that Christmas.
My brothers and I were wide-eyed to hear the story. Up to a certain age, there is no horror worse than not getting presents at Christmas, the greatest day of the year. My parents' closet, with its three sliding doors, could be seen at the end of a long hallway in our house. I erased any thoughts as quickly as they entered my head.
In retrospect, it was a sort of "Adam and Eve meet Christmas" story. The closet was "the tree," its contents "the apple," and the giftless Christmas the symbolic fall from Eden.
But this is not a made-up story. My dad went to school with the boys at Lord Kitchener School, now called John Pritchard School. At least one family member moved to the West Coast, I believe.
Today, I wonder how many families like ours heard their story and heard it on an annual basis. At our house, it became tradition. There was the Christmas tree, the nativity scene, the wreath on the door, cherry mousse, the story of the Epp boys, screwdrivers (my dad liked a vodka and orange juice on Christmas morning), and Lebkuchen (Christmas cookies).
That is, I wonder if the Epp family has any idea that their story went viral in the old-fashioned sense, told from family to family, handed down from generation to generation. (Of course, I have told the story as a parent, too.) Their family ended up doing a lot of good in the world in a backhanded kind of way. Their lesson was our lesson without paying so steep a price.
So to all you kids out there of a new generation, remember the haunting tale of the Epp boys. Temptation can be a frightful thing. Have yourself a merry, scary Christmas. Aoooooow!

"Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may." ~ Mark Twain
Legal Earthquake Rocks the Scientific Community
"On October 22, an Italian court found six seismologists and one government official guilty of multiple involuntary manslaughter for failing to accurately predict an earthquake in L'Aquila, Italy, which killed around 300 people. The trial lasted from September 2011 until October 2012, but it took a judge only a little over 4 hours to decide it. Each man received a 6-year jail term. They were also banned for life from any public office and ordered to pay a total compensation of 7.8 million euros. An appeal is planned."

Question & Answers
First sim visited second sim, and now will not go home?
I'm very early on in the game, I'm only up to gardening and looking for money for practical things like beds and stoves. but this first sim, I can't help her because I don't know how to get her to go back to her own house. Please help. I'm lost here.
Answer from: IONASPHERE
You have a clingy sim. If their icon doesn't have a home symbol on the character menu, then use the town map and go to their empty house. Bring up the character menu and press the whistle button. Hope this helps
Answer from: Silverkey23
That depends how good your first house was. I've been playing for about 1year on both of my devices and I have had this problem too. If your first Sim was a guy or a girl and your second Sim was the compatible gender you can have them as a couple and move them into your second Sims house. Then if you have money you can relocate that couple to the first house, or if you do not want this to happen you can restart the game or put all the furniture from the first house into the second this will not cost any money until you make the wallpaper and such. Hope this helps =D
Answer from: Daniel Ericson
Going back is easy, first go to the sim tracker on the lower right side of your device, now click on it, press the house with a right arrow in the sim that you want to go home
Have fun!

it's a real shame that marion davies' career was derailed by hearst's over the top promotion and his insistence on dramatic roles. she was a delightful and gifted comedienne and not at all like the character of susan alexander kane. no doubt she was the life of many parties. this film is a showcase for her talents and the huge influence on lucille ball's career is hard to mistakeMore

Jonah Goldberg: Obama's lame sock hop with Putin
I believe that Putin's adventures in Russia's "near abroad" are a mistake. Indeed, they are part of a whole tapestry of wrongheadedness. It's also bad for the Kremlin to crush dissent, censor the news and hobble the economy by handing it over to oligarchs and a kleptocratic bureaucracy. Putin's scapegoating and demonizing of gays isn't only morally wrong, it's not in Russia's long-term interests either. That Putin prefers to use his oil and gas assets as a political weapon abroad and an excuse not to diversify his economy at home has me Googling the Russian word for "boneheaded."
Now, imagine you are Vladimir Putin. You illegally sent Russian soldiers without military insignia into Ukraine (a major violation of the Geneva Conventions). You lied about doing so at the time (Putin has since boasted that he did exactly that). And your aide brings in the news that a "senior military official" of the United States has announced that if you take another step toward carving up Ukraine, the U.S. will be forced to give the Ukrainians the socks they've been asking for.
Consequences that are not sufficiently painful or sufficiently scary aren't consequences in the sense Obama means at all. They're invitations. It's like trying to get a bear to leave you alone by throwing salmon at it.

Toasting changes only the taste. In fact, research finds that whether you eat nuts such as almonds or walnuts raw, roasted or churned (aka nut butter), their good fats can lower your LDL ("bad") cholesterol. I prefer the flavor of roasted nuts, so this is welcome news to me. Nuts are highly caloric, though, so stick to a 1-ounce serving daily (about 24 almonds). Also, read labels carefully; some store-bought versions may have added oil, salt or sugar. To keep things clean, I buy plain almonds and roast them at 350° for 10 minutes. It's a great wintertime snack.

And he has a few words for N.O. transplants playing New Orleans music on the street. Read the whole thing here.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Boring Avs
by Paul on 01/24/08 at 12:29 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Terry Frei of the Denver Post,
On a couple of levels — stylistic and strategic — the Avalanche at least temporarily has become what the organization used to belittle.
Conservative. Boring.
With Joe Sakic, Ryan Smyth and Paul Stastny on the injured list, this is the way the Avalanche probably has to play to remain afloat.
The Avs are not only playing Columbus and Minnesota, they're becoming Columbus and Minnesota.

DIFC investments $1 billion loan near; to help Sukuk REFI
Emirates NBD, Dubai's largest lender, and Standard Chartered will contribute an equal amount into the deal, while Noor Islamic Bank and Dubai Islamic Bank, also join the deal but with a smaller commitment.
May 22, 2012 9:11 by Reuters
DIFC Investments, the investment arm of the company running Dubai's financial free zone, is close to securing a $1 billion loan from four banks to help refinance an upcoming Islamic bond maturity, a banking source familiar with the matter said.
Emirates NBD, Dubai's largest lender, and Standard Chartered will contribute an equal amount into the deal, while Noor Islamic Bank and Dubai Islamic Bank, also join the deal but with a smaller commitment.
The loan will help refinance a $1.25 billion sukuk maturing in June, and will be in place in time for the redemption date.
"It's in the documentation phase," the source, who requested anonymity, said. "There will be a syndication in due course but they want to deal with the sukuk first."
Mohammed al-Shaibani, chief executive of the Investment Corporation of Dubai and deputy chairman of Dubai's Supreme Fiscal Committee, said on Monday that the loan was close to completion.
"There is a … facility maturing this year with respect to DIFCI, which is, as we speak, being concluded," Shaibani told Reuters in Mumbai.
The presence of three Dubai-based may raise compliance issues on new central bank rules limiting bank lending to sovereign and state-linked entities.
"We are all comfortable with what we are taking on but with the new central bank rules on GREs (government-related entities), we will want to pass on some of our exposures accordingly."
In April, the UAE central bank introduced new caps for bank loans made to local governments and their entities in the first such change in nearly two decades. The International Monetary Fund said the move would help contain banks' risks from GREs.
DIFC Investments' sukuk obligation has been highlighted by analysts as one of the most challenging refinancings in the Gulf Arab region this year, given the size of the maturity and the firm's limited cash position.
Earlier this month, the company said it was "committed" to the sukuk repayment and was in final talks with banks and management for a bank financing agreement.

ESPN Praised For Patience In Reporting News Of Junior Seau's Suicide
Published May 3, 2012
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE: ESPN's Bram Weinstein wrote on Twitter, "Espn takes the reporting of stories like junior seau very seriously and will not report until confirmed. I appreciate that about my employer." ESPN's Jemele Hill wrote, "Like many, began to hear the reports about Junior Seau. Find it interesting that ESPN is being criticized for trying to be thorough." Octagon First Call's David Schwab wrote, "Junior Seau story is absolutely awful. TMZ has been discussing for 36 minutes. When will ESPN.com or ESPN TV acknowledge?" The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill Jr. wrote, "is junior seau dead for real..espn is now dropping the ball..they arguing about the saints suspensions and not talk about seau..wow." Deadspin's Timothy Burke wrote, "ESPN finally acknowledges the Seau shooting 70 minutes after TMZ reported it. ... Here's something weird, though. ESPN Deportes ran the Seau news on its bottom line ten minutes before ESPN did."
MEDIA MONITOR: Last night's edition of NBC's "Nightly News" led its broadcast with a 2:45 report on Seau's passing. ABC's "World News" aired a 2:53 report on Seau three minutes into the broadcast, while CBS' "Evening News" aired a 27-second report on Seau at the 11:15 mark. All three network morning shows today included a report on Seau as well. ABC's "GMA" hit the story 10:18 into its broadcast, with a 3:51 report examining whether Seau's football career and the potential for brain trauma contributed to his suicide. "CBS This Morning" first reported on Seau at the 12:20 mark, with a 5:20 report that included a live appearance via satellite by CBS Sports' James Brown. NBC's "Today" reported on Seau at 12:42, with a 2:53 report that included live coverage from NBC's Gabe Gutierrez from San Diego (THE DAILY).

FiNews #12: Neil Babcox - Protestant Pastor becomes Catholic
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on May 29, 2008
Ave Maria!After being a Protestant Pastor for over 30 years, first in a nondenominational church and then in three Presbyterian churches, Neil Babcox makes the journey home to the Catholic Faith on the Solemnity of All Saints, November 1, 2006. While most Protestant converts find Catholic devotion to Our Lady an extremely difficult obstacle to becoming Catholic, for Neil it was just the opposite: Her irresistible tenderness drew him into the fullness of Christ's Church. Neil spent his first Easter with the Franciscans of the Immaculate and shared his story with AirMaria.com in two episodes. Watch Neil in this first episode as he shares how the Immaculate brought him home; and be sure to tune in to EWTN, Marcus Grodi's The Journey Home on May 21st at 8pm where Neil will share more of his story.Links:EWTN, Marcus Grodi, The Journey Home--upcoming guest Neil Babcox:Conversion story of Neil BabcoxAve Maria!

Sitting through "the talk" with your parents is pretty much
a right of passage. However, since you've got the basics down, you really don't
need to initiate a discussion unless you have questions. If you do, that's OK!
You should feel comfortable enough to ask, even if it's totally awkward.
What to do when…you've got a Q
Grab Mom (or Dad, or a trusted adult, or a sibling) and
quickly say, "So, my health teacher told us all about periods last year, but I
was wondering…" There, done!
What to do when…you just wanna let them know
If the chat was a happened-last-week deal, leave 'em a
sticky note on the fridge (or mention it when they ask how school's going):
"FYI, Ms. Ross talked to us about puberty and periods and things last week."
What to do when…they wanna talk

» Have the best school year ever!
