Friday night Elton John could've been back in his bed, emailing his partner and 3-month-old son, planning his outfit to the Royal Wedding or counting his money a lot earlier in the evening and fans at his Greatest Hits Live show still would've left the KFC Yum! Center happy.
But instead of putting the show on autopilot like a rocket man just doing his job five days a week, the 64-year-old put on an energetic 25-song, 2:49 concert that demonstrated Sir Elton is just as excited about being on stage now as he was when he was a 15-year-old named Reginald Dwight playing the Northwood Hills Hotel pub on weekends.
John took the stage 10 minutes after the scheduled 8 p.m. start, sporting dyed hair, a turquoise shirt and a full-length jacket with tails and Greek goddess of sorts on the back—a subdued appearance by his standards.
Supported by a drummer, percussionist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist and four backup singers, John's approach to his setlist would've made for a good strategy at a road race: out fast, settle down, finish strong. He opened with "Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" and it wasn't until after "Tiny Dancer" four songs later that many audience members—an older crowd themselves—took their seats.
Some highlights:
A five-song stretch from John's latest release, "The Union," with Leon Russell, might have worked better if it was broken up and the tracks interspersed throughout the show.
"Have a great time next week. Party on baby," John said before ending the show with a one-song encore, "Your Song." Derby fans would do well to leave Churchill on May 7 as happy as Elton fans were leaving The Bucket last Friday.
To see clips of the show, check out Elton John live at Louisville's KFC Yum! Center: The definitive YouTube videos.

John Oliver's 'Last Week Tonight' begins Sunday; a list of other 'Daily Show' refugees
John Oliver's new HBO topical/comedy/interview show begins Sunday (HBO, 11) and first guest: Gen. Keith Alexander, retired as director of the National Security Agency and head of U.S. Cyber Command.
So, maybe not so funny, but topical.
"Last Week Tonight" features a host who finds himself at the head of a long conga line of talent that has left "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" over the last 15 years. Credit due to Stewart, and to "The Best [Expletive Deleted] News Team Ever." Maybe not the best. Indisputably the funniest. Here's a partial list of on (and off) screen stars who have moved on.
* Josh Lieb: Former executive producer (2007-2010) is currently producer-in-chief of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," and -- you may have heard -- Josh and Co. are doing quite well.
* Ed Helms: Hungover in "The Hangover" and Dr. Ed in "Children's Hospital," and much, much (much) else, Helms was correspondent from 2002 to 2006, where he seemed to channel a later creation, Andy Bernard of "The Office."
* Sarah Vowell: Certainly one of the more unusual post-"TDS" career tracks, she is (and was) a best-selling author during her days. "TDS" once boasted another distinguished ink-stained cast member: Former Newsday writer and former "TDS" movie critic, Frank DeCaro, who now hosts a Sirius Satellite Radio show.
* Stephen Colbert: From 1997 to 2005, he perfected the persona that he brought to "The Colbert Report," which he will shed when he joins "Late Show" next year. (His pal, former comedy associate, "Report" contributor, and "Strangers with Candy" star, Amy Sedaris, had also been mentioned as a possible "Colbert" replacement.)
* Rob Corddry: Former correspondent ('02-'07) and has been everywhere -- or seemingly so -- ever since. (A couple dozen credits, including "Community," "Happy Endings," "Children's Hospital" . . .)
* David Javerbaum: Another alumnus and head writer from '03 to '06, will see his book "The Last Testament: A Memoir by God" rendered into a Broadway play for the '15 season. (He got a Tony nom for the musical "Cry-Baby.")
* Josh Gad: Before he was famous, or at least before he starred as Elder Cunningham in "The Book of Mormon," Gad was briefly a "TDS" correspondent. Who knew?
* Rob Riggle: From '06 to '09, correspondent Riggle had also been in the U.S. Marine Corps and a player on "Saturday Night Live."
* Steve Carell: Needs noooo intro. The head of this class, or at least he shares that distinction with Colbert, he was correspondent from '99 to '05, and became a major star afterward. His greatest TV role: "The Office," of course.

Lyon star Aly Cissokho remains interested in a move to the Premier League, according to his agent.

The left-back has in the past 12 months been linked with Liverpool and Newcastle, with the latter coming close to a deal in January.
This summer has also seen interest in Cissokho from Serie A side Napoli and the 24-year-old's future at Lyon remains far from certain.
Lyon only finished fourth in the 2011/12 Ligue 1 and, although there have not been any offers, a move away from Stade de Gerland for Cissokho is a possibility.
The defender's agent, Fabrizio Ferrari, told Sportitalia: "Napoli as well as some English clubs have been observing the player and I don't rule out that he can arrive in the Premier League.
"But, for the moment, Lyon have received no offers."

She spent much of the 1990s covering the Balkan wars - as well as other calamities in Rwanda, Liberia, Congo, and Chechnya. In a 2004 chronicle about her Balkan experiences entitled "Madness Visible", she recounted the human cost of the war in vivid terms - from the genocide of Srebrenica to the gang-raping of Muslims in Kosovo.

Cobalt-barrel machine guns could fire full auto Hollywood style
You know in the movies, where people get hold of powerful automatic weapons - rifles or machine guns - and fire them on full automatic for ages? US troops in training carry out a barrel change on an M240B machine gun. Credit: Sgt Lindsey Bradford/US Army Goddammit Kowalski, it's supposed to come off in your hand That's quite …
RE: Your missing several other problem
Room entries, assaulting enemy positions at close quarters, suppressive fire upon initial enemy contact. There are plenty of reasons to fire more than 3 rounds in a burst, and us English with the L85A2 trust our soldiers to choose when to use each fire mode, rather than restricting them to burst fire. Plus the article was mostly referring to LMGs, which as you mentioned doesn't suffer from these unsupported firing position problems.
Also they claim to have fired the weapon at 1100 degrees, so assuming this was done using a hand portable prototype, I assume they've overcome any other heat build up issues in the breach.
I don't really see what point you're trying to prove here, beyond bigging up your soldier knowhow. Which by the way really doesn't prove you know what you're talking about. I can take apart and put together a PC, but I don't know how everything works in it, and certainly couldn't claim expert knowledge on something like the PCI-E bus.
RE: Your missing several other problems
Yep it was fired from an "ARDEC Advanced Remote/Robotic Armament System" - standard small arms mounted on a remote firing system. So it can fire at 1100 degrees...
dear me
look here foot slogger. Some people have these things called ve-hi-cles. They have MGs on them too, oh and coax guns. And stacks of ammo in boxes.
M16A4 dont have fully auto because the yanks cant shoot for shit therefore cant be trusted with fully auto.
I think the cobalt barrels ARE intended for suppression weapons i.e. MGs rather than AWs
@ Anonymous Coward
"There are plenty of reasons to fire more than 3 rounds in a burst, and us English with the L85A2 trust our soldiers to choose when to use each fire mode, rather than restricting them to burst fire."
Actually no they don't. I AM a soldier in the British Army and automatic mode on the L85 is restricted in use unless your in very specific scenarios and even then you are trained to keep your bursts to approximately 3 rounds or less to prevent recoil climb. The M16A4 was an example I gave because that specific generation model appeared long after the L85 was designed and thus incorporated more enlightened thinking and also offers a way to limit the recoil. The original M16 had full auto too. I absolutely promise you by the time you have fired about 6 rounds from the L85 your rifle is pointing a good deal higher than where you aimed and will only continue to climb.
"Also they claim to have fired the weapon at 1100 degrees, so assuming this was done using a hand portable prototype, I assume they've overcome any other heat build up issues in the breach."
That's all fine and well if they have machined a NEW weapon or re-engineered an existing weapon for the barrel. However it's not a case of simply fitting the new barrels to existing weapons as the machining tolerances are not designed for constant fire. Plus I absolutely guarantee you put a round into the breach at 1100 degrees and it WILL cook off (Regardless of whether or not it's an open or closed bolt weapon). And with the current SDSR in place, I highly doubt we will be swapping our weapons out anytime soon.
All this is aside from the fact that automatic fire in an individual weapon is rarely used because apart from being up and close and personal, it's not effective. Single aimed shots are better. As for support weapons, well in a real contact you would simply never get the opportunity to fire at the weapons full cyclic rate. Ever. Even if the weapon is mounted or bipod based.
I'm not saying they are a bad thing, not having to carry and swap out a second barrel would be a great thing (And I speak from the heart having been an LMG gunner in Afghanistan) but there is no way that they would lead to any military switching its training or operating policy to one where you can blaze away (Or "hosepipe" as we refer to it. Imagine the rounds from the barrel as a stream of water from a hose).
ref: Your missing several other problems
"This is why a number of weapons such as the M16A4 and so on do not have a fully automatic mode. They have a three round burst capability as it's generally these three rounds that do anything."
On an SA80, this feature is controlled by the mechanical reliability of the weapon, magazine, and Radway Green supplied ammuntion.
@Danny 14
"M16A4 dont have fully auto because the yanks cant shoot for shit therefore cant be trusted with fully auto."
Now why would you need any full auto when the mantra is 'one shot, one kill?'
"there is no way that they would lead to any military switching its training or operating policy to one where you can blaze away (Or "hosepipe" as we refer to it. Imagine the rounds from the barrel as a stream of water from a hose)"
However, that ability would be very desirable for remote controlled or autonomous turrets and I can easily imagine people in Pentagon salivating at the thought of sticking Aliens2-style turrets all around the perimeter of Kandahar Air Base (or along the Mexican border) and let them blaze away at anything that moves...
Why not bring back the vickers .303?
Ok, so it's not the most portable, but as a machine gun it's pretty good :-)
From wikipedia:
'The weapon had a reputation for great solidity and reliability. Ian V. Hogg, in Weapons & War Machines, describes an action that took place in August, 1916, during which the British Army's 100th Company of the Machine Gun Corps fired their ten Vickers guns continuously for twelve hours. They fired a million rounds between them, using 100 new barrels, without a single breakdown. "It was this absolute foolproof reliability which endeared the Vickers to every British soldier who ever fired one."'
If you need a machine gun get a good one - stop faffing around with wannabees.
you forgot...
The infamous test to destruction of a Vickers machine gun when they were going out of service and people wanted to know just HOW long they would have kept going for.
Someone who was a witness to part of it told me 7 days + 7 nights, and a LOT of trucks carrying crates of ammo in, and taking away the mountain of copper that was accumulating. You don't want to know how much ammo it used, cos we paid for it. Still, on the bright side a lot of it was war stocks that had to be disposed of anyway, but...
what's the mandrel made out of?
Magnetic fields.
Possible problem?
If your barrel is radiating high IR, you're a definite target for IR-seeking thingy-bobs...
@ Possible Problem
opposed to muzzle flash, body, or vehicle heat?
True, but....
As this is the US military i'm guessing that the scaling is in Fahrenheit.
1100degF is going to stick out more than 96degF
Heat problems?
Simples... errr... die shrink it and add more cores...
(There you go, that's the IT angle of the story)
1100 degrees of what?
1100 degrees of what Lewis? I'm assuming you are working with either Fahrenheit or Celsius, but it is unclear and makes a huge difference. I'm assuming that since you lifted most of the tech stuff straight from the linked article which was written by septics it must be Fahrenheit? Also the melting point of pure cobalt is only just below 1500 degrees Celsius, so presumably if the barrel got to 1100 degrees Celsius you would already be in the plastic flow region...
its a cobalt alloy, not pure.
Beware the cook-off!
Heat build-up can lead to rounds "cooking off", or firing unexpectedly when the gunpowder ignites due to heat. This can make the other members of your squad very unhappy when you're behind them covering their advance...
It may save the gunner from RSS as he won't need to hold the trigger pressed all the time...
Old problem, with an old solution
This is why most machine guns fire with an open bolt. That is, a round is not fed into the breech until the trigger is pulled, which releases the bolt, allowing it to close. This can be a little less accurate, because of the delay before the cartridge is fired, and the movement of the bolt mass.
1100 degrees
Is approximately 366.666666667 soul bands.
how hot can the rounds get
just a thought
I'm not certain I'd be happy loading a round into a white hot barrel,
how hot can rounds get before they self explode ?
Re: Cook-off
True, but open bolt setups such as the M60 and many other LMGs are immune to cookoff, which coincidently are the types of weapons these barrels are targeted at.
Melting Steel
Made me think if a steel machine gun barrel can easily melt then it wouldn't be a problem for jet fuel to melt / weaken the steel columns in the World Trade Centre (so much for all the inside job using thermite / explosives on 9/11)
Hammer Forging
This process sounds Very similar to hammer forging (invented in 1939). That's where the barrel is drilled and honed, a mandrel is put in the center, and rotating auto hammers pound on the outside until the bore takes the rifling shape.
Anyway, this is a nice advance. From experience, I know barrels heat up Quick. This really doesn't fix that, it just allows you to get the barrel screaming hot without it failing. Of course, the weapon will have to fire from an open bolt, lest the heat alone fires the next cartridge - whether you mean too or not.
Flame, because this is hot stuff!
So when they shout FIRE!
they will be refering to the combustable aspects of the bush next to the 1100c barrel?
Ignoring the melting barrel bit, how well does the rifling last with this setup?
whilist you dont want an MG that is too accurate, converting it to an automatic musket would not be good either
Surprised this has not bee tried a *long* time ago.
Flow forming is a popular way to turn mostly cylindrical things with complex profiles (especially stuff that has walls that thicken in bands or taper from one end to another) often as parts of various bits of military hardware.
The smooth force applied suggests it would give a smooth internal finish as opposed to something made by many separate hammer blows.
AFAIK the technique works very well at well above room temperature, so the metal would be softer to begin with.
Gun barrels (certainly of the .50cal variety) are *well* within the range of objects made currently with this method.
The obvious joker is if is worked hot (or even warm) unless the mandrel is withdrawn *very* quickly the barrel cools and shrink fits onto the mandrel.
In principle a clever way to make a lot of something very difficult at a reasonable price.
unless the mandrel contracts at an equal or greater rate as it cools...
that is all.
and the best part is...
Each barrel will now cost a number of times more than current barrels.
Hammer forging
So it is basically, apart from the cobalt alloy stuff, pretty much a standard hammer forged barrel.
Not exactly a new technique
BSA have been making gun barrels that way for decades - but they are a UK company so the septics, not knowing where abroad is and not trusting anything not invented in the US, wouldn't know that ...
remember folks
That's mandrel, not mandrill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandrill
"the US Navy (interested in equipping its marines and SEAL frogman-commandos better)"
While the civilian leadership of the United States Marine Corps falls for administrative purposes under the US Department of the Navy, the USMC is militarily a separate armed service - they aren't 'the Navy's marines' unless you regard the suits as 'the Navy'... as a naval man yourself, Lewis, I doubt this is a precedent you'd want to set!

There is no such thing as a KKR Banker, obviously you do not understand finance or how these buyouts work. The 11 banks are advising on the takeover and earning a fee from KKR, who is a private equity firm, also knows as the buyside. It has nothing to do with "screwing investors". Although it may sounds odd, Investment banking is a service, and is not what caused issues 4 years ago per say, however "investment banks" did through their activities much more heavily related to sales and trading.

On this week's episode of "Old Man Cam," Jim Celania is getting closer to 65 than 64 and the Medicare vultures won't leave him alone!
Has he lost it or is there someone else living in his house leaving stuff on all the time?
I think Jim is just dealing with so-called 'old age'…but the words in Neil Young's song "Old Man" are spot on! And is that a beer to the right of the computer?

"These trips, they popped out of the snow. . . LIKE DAISIES!!!" *2nd trip update
"Did you see those Huns?? They popped out of the snow! Like daisies!"
Well this is my very first PTR and I decided to make it one PTR where I will put all of the PTR's for this year. Why? Well you'll have to stick around for that story!
First, let me say thank you to any and all of you who may join in. The PTR's, TR's and DR's on the DIS play a very important role in bringing these Disney dreams of mine to life Let's get on with the story and plans then, shall we?
All of last year, I had been unemployed and it was truly getting on my nerves. While I won't give my exact age, I am not that old (no seriously, I'm not even officially MID-20's, at least not for a few more months ) BUT I have been working since age 13. Needless to say this whole jobless situation was a little new to me. So as the months rolled by, my figure started to roll along with it (double stuff Oreo's became my friend AND enemy), as I traded in suits for sweats and sweats for sweets. (Yeah depression was starting to sink in BIG time ) So one day I decided I would try to stay out of this funk (and IN my jeans) by listening to my inner Tink and thinking of my happy place I started to plan a trip to Disney World. So there I was no job, not going back to school until the Winter, nothing to do but plan a Disney trip! Oh yeah this was a recipe for success. Now, considering that by the time I was 9, I knew the layout of Disney World better than my neighborhood, it's not like I needed a whole lot of planning time. BUT I am a planner, I mean that's what i do. Add that to being slightly, ummm, shall we say excited *cough* fanatical *cough* about all things Disney World and well, couch meet potato! I was glued to my WDW planning CD (I just watch it to get in the spirit, they don't have one tip that I don't already know OR can't find on the DIS of course ), Netflix and YouTube for all TV specials on Disney Parks and resorts AND of course when I found *drumroll please* THE DISboards I had three notebooks that contained everything from hotel pricing of all hotels I was interested in, all dates, all historical discounts for which I may qualify. . . basically, I ought to apply to Disney's IT department, because I could get that website rolling with all the info I have. IJS
So first, I planned a trip for hunny and I in November, 4 days at WDW, 2 days at Uni and 2 days for travel. . . oh how those plans changed
Then, I decided on one with hunny and I plus the munchkins (there's two of em, perhaps you will meet them later, hmmm )
And then, my mom. My mom enjoys Disney, I mean, we used to go every year (hence my love *cough* obsession *cough*) for WDW, but that was more because of my dad. It was my grandma on my dad's side that absolutely LOVED Disney World and would take the family every year, sometimes more than once. Well Miss Mommy threw a monkey wrench in my plans when she informed me that she wanted to get away for Christmas I mentioned the Christmas trip they took me on when I was 2 and how much she enjoyed it (NOT) with all the heat and crowds, oh, and the two year old they brought to see Mickey who refused to allow Mickey to get within 5 feet of her (hey, what can I say, as long as he was at a distance I loved him, but up close? c'mon. How many two year old's do YOU know with a fondness of over-sized rodents in their face? I didn't think so.) Now, even though I have heard this story a zillion times over my twenty-something years, and every time it was chocked full of "ugh the heat, oh the people, my goodness the MONEY " Miss Mommy, alllllllll of a sudden has "fond" memories of the trip. "Oh I enjoyed it, the crowds were fine with me, time well spent." Say what?! "You mean, you enjoyed Disney in December, you would even want to go back?" Huh? Since when? What changed? Oh, nevermind Since I knew we would not be going the next Christmas (2012) I did the natural thing and began planning a "Surprise X-mas 2013 Disney trip" for Miss Mommy. (Part of the surprise was how the heck it would happen )
So there I was 3 Disney trips, planned, priced and prepped for. I was ready Waaaaiiiit a minute, oh yeah, a job, still needed that. . . darn, so close but yet. . . well now THIS my friends is where the plot get's thicker (and better)
I had been planning, but still job searching and getting ready for my classes to start. If I got one more "This position has been removed/filled/sent to the moon" letter i was going to scream!!! I had two positions for which I had a pretty great chance of getting, but the companies had to hold off on hiring (you know end of the year stuff) so I wait. . . and plan. . . and wait. . . and obsess. . . and get financial aid. . . and HEY, nah. . . and wait and FINALLY, well nothing really. Nothing BUT a few magical phone calls
A lot of things started coming together financially for me. PLUS Hunny is an artist, and he got a few HUGE opportunities. AND THEN Miss Mommy, that FABULOUS woman who birthed me, informed me of a conference for a organization which we are both alumni of, and that she could use my help and the conference is. . . oh yeah, in DISNEY WORLD!!!
Thanks to God, I went from dreaming of 1 possible, per chance, somewhere-over-the-rainbow trip, to 4, count em FOUR trips to WDW!!!
Will I make them all? Will I add a few?! Will Disney revoke my PAP for over use?!! We will wait and see, because the possibilities are mind blowing at the moment
So saddle up your cow, grab your lucky cricket, AND STRUT!!! (Please tell me my family is not the only one that uses Mulan references in everyday life)

Contributing to the delinquency of a Disney fan!
Welcome to my May 2013 PTR!!!The defendant: Me and the accomplice: Miss Mommy (her nickname for this trip)
(WARNING!!! The lack of pictures may result in the slight over use of smilies. I apologize in advance. Continue. . .)
I am very excited to share this trip with my DIS family and I hope to meet some new friends. I have read many of your PTR's and TR's and have gained a TON of knowledge from many of you. I hope that I may be able to help someone as you all have helped me. I must admit, I tend to be a lurker on most PTR's, TR's and DR's. I am working on that. The thing is, sometimes I am going back and reading through people's old TR's and then the new ones so I feel a little weird commenting so late. So now, with that admission of guilt let me say. . . feel FREE and encouraged to stop by and say hi! (I know, the nerve).
On to why we are here (hello, hello, someone is out there with me right?) This trip is the latest of many planned trips for 2013/2014. As I explained in the previous post, to get out my unemployed funk, I started to not only dream, but actually plan trips to Disney. I had 3 trips planned out when I received a invite to go to a conference with my mom. She had me look up the location and low and behold it is in May. BUT WAIT I already planned a surprise trip for my mom for December. How am I going to surprise her when we have already gone? I had to think fast. I decided to do the only thing i could, force myself to allow her to drag me to Disney TWICE argh, what a horrible mommy she is But seriously, with some quick thinking and number crunching I put together a two part plan that not only ends up saving me money, but freeing up so more time to relax.
After I hung up with my mom, I emailed her back 30 minutes later with a complete budget, itinerary and a few ADR's. She alleged I was obsessed, I countered that I was incited, by HER, therefore making her a co-conspirator open and shut case.
The Time: May 8-12
The Location: Swan @ WDW
The crime: We are still deciding on tickets for her. I know we will be doing one day at Universal as she loves Universal. Don't get me wrong, I like Universal, but I Disney!!! I will be upgrading whatever tickets I get to a Premium Annual Pass in preparation for my trips later in the year. We will not be renting a car and as we are with a conference @ the Swan, there will be no DDP (not really a biggie as we have never used the DDP).
I have made ADR's for Olivia's, as i have heard rave reviews of the food. My mom loves good Key Lime Pie which I heard they do pretty well here as well; Mama Melrose with the Fantasmic! pkg; Boma and Sanaa.
I am looking to book the Wishes Dessert party as well as my mom loves all desserts, in fact, she is a bit of a dessert snob. I am also hoping and praying for a Dinner spot at BOG. I found out about this trip too late to try and reserve at the 180 day mark, so I am hoping for some pixie dust as I stalk the reservation lines and threads.
I have put together a rough draft of an itinerary, however I know it will change. 1. I still need more details from the conference which won't be available until March probably (no, they have no concept of Disney time and the need to make ADR's and proper touring plans). I know my mom likes to relax and I as a commando like to maximize my time, so far I seem to have found a somewhat happy medium, but I have not run it by my mom yet for approval.
The Surprise!!!: I originally planned a surprise trip in December for my mom, which I figured I would surprise her with on Mother's Day. I was not going to tell her the location of the trip, just tell her the dates and a few minor details to ensure she would come. Since we will now be in the surprise destination on mother's day, I have planned a few "extra" activities throughout this trip (Fantasmic!, Dessert Party) and then I will present her with a all expense paid trip to a "Tropical Destination in December" on mother's day while we are at lunch. I had thought of staying at the Poly in December, that way I could tell her at the airport "Were going to Hawaii w/ a layover in FL" and not be a liar Then I saw the royal rooms at POR and thought she would like it there (she loves water). Now that we are going in May first, I thought perhaps I would try to find out what resort she would want to stay at (Poly was a favorite growing up as were often across the "street" at SOG). I don't want to be obvious however amd ruin the Dec surprise. Any ideas
That's about all for now. I will post as more details are finalized and bail is set I know I am going to put together a binder to record things about this trip and then come home and put together a scrapbook for my mom and I. I have found a lot of good ideas around the web and especially on the DIS. Since I have a tough BIO class this semester I am trying to go with a nice simple/ easy book to put together. As that comes together I promise I will post pics.
Thanks for coming along for the ride, let me know your thoughts

Hello fellow Commando!
I surely don't envy the unemployment part, that is a terrible situation that I hope you'll get out off soon!
But I sure envy your planning of 4 trips in a single year!
I've been planning our trip (to which we will finally take off in a week! ) for most of last year and it has been 5 years since my last disney trip!
I can't wait to know more about the other 3 trips and right now I can't think of any brilliant ideas for your surprise to your Miss Mommy but maybe I can come up with something while there!

Yeah I have been MIA from WDW for 5 years as well, so I understand. I even had a trip in 2010 that I had to cancel . You and your In-laws and DF are going to have such a blast!
I just have to figure out a way to find out which resort she is completely in love with, without giving the Dec trip away. I think between the inherent ability to be sneaky as her kid and the help of my fellow DISer's, I can pull it off
I will be subbing for your TR, the plans in your PTR look way too awesome for me to miss the fun! Enjoy your trip!!!

I remember when this was just a dream you had, now it's becoming a reality, I always felt If you are one with Disney, Disney will be one with you, I do believe the Pixie Dust has been sent your way
See that, When you wish upon a star, and your heart is in your dreams, your dreams come true (That's the super short version of the song) But if you see the Dapper Dan's see if they will sing it to you, it will be your lifelong Disney spark

Got the plans. . . need the stone
Ok, so I have been going meticulously over my plans. . . well, at least I have tried between my busy school schedule. I am enjoying my classes, but this degree is really cutting into my DIS timeNow, this may not seem too busy, but we do have actual work to do Not much, but still some. I also know we will be going shopping (guess that wasn't too shocking "two women want to go shopping, wow never would have guessed that would ya?"). The conference schedule is out and it's not to difficult to work around which is cool. I also, still have to get a few more reservations as I started late I am behind with getting one for the oh-so-popular BOG. I am sure it will all work out though. ***Update: The full schedule is out now and we will have a late start on Day 3 so I changed our Fantasmic pkg to a late lunch since we will be going to the booths that are at the Flower and Garden festival.***
So far this is what the plan is looking like, but due to mom's lack of desire to be a commando, this is VERY tentative.
Day 1: Arrival
Lunch @ Wolfgang Puck Express
D Dinner @ Olivias Café booked
Day 2: AK/MK
Breakfast @ Boma booked and/or Lunch @ Flame Tree BBQ
7p.m. Dinner @ Be Our Guest
8:45p.m. Wishes Dessert Party
Day 3: HS/Epcot- PM EMH
Snacks @ Epcot F&G food booths
Dinner @ Fantasmic! pkg Mama Melrose booked
Day 4: Universal
Breakfast from Boardwalk Bakery
Lunch @ Mythos or Finnegans
Dinner on CityWalk
Day 5: Departure
Breakfast @ Kona booked or Brunch @ House of Blues booked or Lunch @ Sanaa booked or Lunch from Earl-of- Sandwich
Welp, that's all for now, I will start on PTR details for the Nov trip tomorrow (posting the details that is, I have them written down several times already in my planners, lol). I am excited to see you all's suggestions on that trip as it is action PACKED

However, that could have occurred for at least two different reasons:
1. Conservatives really are more biased in their beliefs about science than liberals
2. My field, being dominated by liberals, focuses on distortions among conservatives far more than distortions among liberals. (These are not necessarily mutually exclusive reasons for the field's emphasis on conservative bias).
Anyway, one of my former graduate students and current collaborators, Dr. Jarret Crawford, has been at the forefront of exposing bias in the ways ideological biases have been studied by (overwhelmingly) liberal social psychologists. He led a study examining whether liberals or conservatives showed more bias in their evaluations of scientific articles. This is a hot topic because liberals (including but not restricted to liberal social psychologists) are so often appalled at conservatives supposed anti-scientific views (see my previous posts on why this view is so highly overstated and also on why conservative skepticism about science is often more well-justified than liberal trust in it).

It's musical chairs in fashion land at the moment. Just five days after Jil Sander announced Raf Simons was leaving the fashion house, there's another designer leaving. Yves Saint Laurent has just revealed that Stefano Pilati will be leaving after his final show in Paris on 5 March 2012.
Pilati has been Creative Director at the French luxury brand since 2004 and as YSL describes, 'has been instrumental in the rebuilding and repositioning of an iconic brand.'
Commenting on the announcement, Yves Saint Laurent Chief Executive Officer Paul Deneve said 'We are all at Yves Saint Laurent grateful to Stefano for his important achievements in advancing the mission and success of this historic and treasured fashion house.'
No news yet of where Pilati will be heading, but according to WWD, Hedi Slimane is poised to take his place at Yves Saint Laurent. 'It would be a return engagement for the Paris-born designer, 43, who burst on to the fashion scene in the late Nineties with his modernist, androgynous men's wear for YSL.' His last position was at Dior Homme before leaving in 2007 to pursue his passion for photography.
And the news inevitably intensifies speculation as to whether Pilati or Simons will take the much-discussed top job at Dior, which has been vacant since John Galliano left almost a year ago.
UPDATE: We've just spoken to Grazia's Style Director Paula Reed, currently show-hopping in Milan, for her verdict on today's news. 'There have been rumours about Stefano being replaced for so long, that I can't help but feel for him,' she tells us. And what of the rumours that Hedi Slimane is set to step up to the job? 'It's very exciting! He's a massive talent, a cult designer who's sure to restore YSL to its former glory. Although Hedi hasn't designed womenswear before, his menswear was so desirable that women were begging for his creations when he was at Dior Homme. And when Karl Lagerfeld lost weight in 2001, his explanation was 'I suddenly wanted to...wear clothes designed by Hedi Slimane.' Besides, the tuxedo has always been YSL's signature piece so he's sure to do an amazing job.'
But do tell: what are your thoughts on the switch around?

Availability: Out of stock

These have the $120 option of 1/4 inch longer spindles, to help with clearance and fit issues for many riders! MSRP on the pedals is $200, plus $120 for the spindles = total original cost of $320!
The use of the stainless steel axle for weight savings, durability and value combined with the brilliant Zero pedal design make this one of our most popular offerings from Speedplay. The choice of many, many riders and staff alike, they offer a simple and proven design that is durable and reliable. Great choice for any enthusiast or racer.
The Speedplay Zero Pedal System introduces a unique concept in pedal design that allows you to choose either a fixed position or up to 15 degrees of float using the same cleat. Zero pedals maintain the traditional feel of a fixed system while incorporating all the well-known advantages of Speedplay X Pedal Systems. Dual-sided Zero pedals offer light weight, easy engagement and disengagement.
A low 11.5mm stack height provides superior cornering clearance. And stack height is only 8.5mm if you get a 4-hole Speedplay specific shoe plus Speedplay pedals have a very aerodynamically low profile making them a Pro Tour favorite. The engagement mechanism does not rely on spring tension for retention, so you don't have to crank down a tension adjuster just to prevent inadvertent release. Best of all, the float is easily adjusted with a screwdriver from zero to 15 degrees and the inward and outward float is independently adjustable for a custom-tuned feel. Several colors to choose from.
Condition: Bearings are super smooth with only a tiny amount of play (not noticeable on bike). Pedals have some marks on spindles and body from use, but still look nice.

This is a stunningly good vacuum cleaner for the price. It is so good with dog hair, it adjusts seamlessly between carpet and bare floors, the hand-held hose is easy to use and convenient. I can't believe I could get a vacuum of this quality for this price. Definately don't be put off by the 'refurbished' title. It was clean, and runs perfectly.
Great vacuum. Accessories are very easy to use, it's very easy to move around and not too heavy to use on the stairs. I'm happily impressed and would recommend this vacuum.
After using the product for a month I regret not buying it sooner. Great vacuum. Easy to handle
This thing is a miracle. It is so well designed. I feel very high tech whenever I'm using it. Also, my carpet looked SO GOOD! I had a really crappy vacuum before, and decided to get a quality one next. I definitely picked the right vacuum. It's simple, so it doesn't have all the super fancy things, but honestly that is all I wanted. It has the attachments, all of which I have already used. Everything feels sturdy. The suction is amazing, and the mobility is great. It's also fairly quiet. I mean, it's a vacuum, but the hum seems lower in pitch which makes it easier on the ears.
The Dyson DC18 is a wonderful vaccuum. It cleans the carpet better than the other vaccuum we previously owned. It is easy to move, love the ball, and very easy to clean stairs. The only down fall was the directions to put the vaccuum together. After a few minutes of staring at a diagram it all came together. All in all, this vaccuum is the best vaccum we have purchased.
I purchased this Dyson for my sister for x-mas as I have been so thrilled with mine. It is a little lighter weight, which is great for stairs. Delivery was extremely fast and this re-manufactured model looked brand new! She loves it.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals blew a chance to elbow their way into playoff position, letting a distracted and grieving team pull one out at the end.
Bengals fall to Cowboys 20-19
Dan Bailey kicked a 40-yard field goal as time ran out, sending the Dallas Cowboys to a 20-19 victory on Sunday that ended the Bengals' four-game winning streak.
Cincinnati (7-6) could have moved ahead of Pittsburgh (7-6) in the chase for the second AFC wild card.
The Steelers lost at home to San Diego 34-24, giving Cincinnati an opening.
The Bengals wasted it by giving up two scoring drives in the closing minutes.
"Obviously, we would have loved to win today with them losing, and it would have given us a better chance," said quarterback Andy Dalton, who was 20 of 33 for 206 yards with a touchdown, an interception and five sacks.
The Bengals remain two games behind AFC North-leading Baltimore (9-4). They finish the season at Pittsburgh and home against the Ravens, so there's still a chance to make the playoffs for the second straight season.
A win on Sunday would have made it more likely, and they knew it.
"It would have been great to win, because we would have been better off," center Kyle Cook said. "The last few years we've won games at the end of the season when we needed it."
They couldn't beat a Cowboys team struggling with the loss of a teammate and the tribulations of another.
The Cowboys overcame a nine-point deficit in the closing minutes behind quarterback Tony Romo, who held his hand over his heart during a moment of silence to honor teammate Jerry Brown before the kickoff. The linebacker died in an auto accident early Saturday.
Defensive lineman Josh Brent, who was driving, was still jailed in Texas when the game began on Sunday, charged with intoxication manslaughter.
The Cowboys (7-6) learned about Brown's death on their flight to Cincinnati on Saturday. Coach Jason Garrett told his team that the best way to honor him was to play well in a game with playoff implications for both teams.
One of the visitors' metal lockers at Paul Brown Stadium had a strip of white athletic tape with "53 JERRY BROWN" attached to the top, a wooden stool inside sitting upside-down. Brown's No. 53 jersey was on the sideline during the game — defensive tackle Jason Hatcher held it up after Bailey's kick decided it.
It wasn't much of a celebration by an emotionally spent team.
Owner Jerry Jones described his team as grieving when it took the field. It was the second consecutive week that an NFL team was playing a day after losing a teammate. Kansas City beat Carolina 27-21 one day after linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend and then himself at the Chiefs' practice complex.

(19th October 2009)
There is only so much of this climate terror people can take from these institutionalised liars before they just give up on the lot of them.
Thats why people are turning their backs on the EU, the UN, all their puppet politrixians, and the BBC propaganda machine.
The world would have far far less terror if the lot of them just went away.

NOAA data does not say the opposite to 'his' 'it hasn't warmed in 16 years' chant, because I am not chanting this.
Jut pointing out that observation does not agree with CAGW, temperatures have not risen in response coupled to the rate of increase in CO2 as the theory suggests. Not for the 16 years or most all of C20.
Once again reality trumps any theory (assuming ashie will defer to it trumping for once - thanks emily )
I can see the jigsaw had parts in it that do not fit at all, and in an attempt to make the picture these have been forced into place - the trouble is, the resulting picture is not the one on the box of reality it came in..
Translation: Still suffering serious fundamental problems we would like to move on from...

Sen. Ted Lieu seeks to make it easier for wrongfully convicted prisoners to obtain DNA testing
SACRAMENTO – Wrongfully convicted prisoners would have improved access to scientific testing of evidence under a plan announced today by Sen. Ted Lieu and backed by the rights group Innocence Project.
Lieu, D-Redondo Beach, cited research showing that recent improvements in technology related to DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, has led directly to the exonerations of hundreds of innocent people, adding that Senate Bill 980 would protect those for whom justice has fallen short.
"One of the greatest injustices a government can commit is wrongfully convicting and imprisoning innocent people while the true perpetrator remains free to prey on all of us," said Lieu, a former Air Force JAG prosecutor who remains a lieutenant colonel in the active military reserves.
Specifically, there have been 311 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the United States since 1989. Exonerations through post-conviction DNA testing have been won in 36 states. Since the year 2000, there have been 244 post-conviction DNA exonerations. DNA is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses.
"These DNA-exoneration cases have provided irrefutable proof that wrongful convictions are not isolated or rare events, but arise from systemic defects that can be precisely identified and addressed," Lieu said.
