Where to start??
This is my first time even attempting to plan a Disney vacation.
Where do I start?
We have narrowed down a date (January 2014) but that's about it.
I guess first choice would be to decide if we want to stay on site or off site?
Any suggestions? I've been sent some great links to different places and talked to a few people who have done both and I guess both have thier benefits.
Then what?
And, I must ask, ball park figure, for a family of four (two adults, two kids) approx. 1-2 weeks, how much of a budget should we be looking at?

A date is a good place to start. Let me give you a few broad overviews:
Not to undo where you've started, but nkow that all choice of dates have pros and cons. As long as you understand the advantages and disadvantages, January is as good as any month. Jan is oftne not all that warm- sometimes you'll get a day to swim, but you may miss out on all the water rides in Jan, and swimming propably will be very chilly. Jan is also when quite a few rides are closed. the advantage of January is low prices (After New Years weekend), and low crowds.
Think about an overall budget. Probably start withthe idea of onsite, unless the price seems too high. Consider though that onsite means you don't NEED to rent a car. Consider how you will get TO WDw, put that in your budget. Get familiar with going rates- like airfare.
I gotta go know, but I'll be back...

we started with the wdw planning dvd -- and that's what I recommend to anybody else who is thinking about going. We fell in love with the value resorts because they were so disney-ish, and that was lucky because it has saved us tons of money. They might not be for you though, and you can really only tell from a video.
But, yes, stay at disney, use magical express and disney transportation, and just do disney the first time you're there. You can add more on your next trip.
And don't add the dining plan unless you know for sure it will work for your family -- and think about whether you'd rather fly by the seat of your pants and just explore what there is, or run a tight ship and get to each attraction on a fixed schedule. That will affect what you really want to book in advance.
Just got back from a long trip in WDW!!!

It would help me to now a little about you, and how you wish to vacation. Disney world has lots of choices, enough to fit almost every budget. You can do a super-budget trip in your own camper/or offsite place, living on pbj all week. I'm pretty sure it's also popssible to spend a million $ in one week at WDW: staying in a huge suite, eating all high end meals, having personal escorts, getting the VIP celebrity treatment. (Oprah's been to WDW more than once, I'm sure she doesn't skimp!)
Knowing a bit about how you like to vacation will help us steer you in the right direction.
1. What is your group make up: Adults, number of kids in each age range (over 9, 3-9yrs, or under 3)? gender of kids?
A 2-adults only trip is going to be a bit different than a trip wtih 16extended members or a family with three kids.
2. What kind of dining do you prefer: eating in the room (with or without a kitchen), quick serve (fast food style, but better quality than McD's), buffets, moderate table service, room service, high end fine dining? Is offfsite dining something you think would be great, or a waste of time?
2B. Are you moderately adventurous, picky eaters, or non-adventurous (say all burgers/steaks/American)?
3. On a scale of say - one to ten- how immersed do you want to be in Disney? "One" being, "I was as little immersion as possible. Mickey makes me want to puke. I'm only going to please someone else." And "ten" being, "I want to hear Disney songs in my sleep, and see characters the entire time my eyes are open."
4. Do you like to take a slow pace vacation, or a high energy vacation? Are you more in the see-everything camp, or the sleep-in every day camp? (Disney is more geared towars the high energy..but again, it opens it's arms to everyone!)
5. Are there any mobiliy issues? Disabilities we should know about? You don't have to tell us this one. I'm not trying to be insensative, but mobility is important at WDW. A kid in a stroller can make quite a difference. All resorts can accomodate any family...but if mobility is an issue, then you may want to avoid the very large moderate resorts. You may want to opt for the compact POFQ, a preferred location room, or a deluxe resort.
The disney DVD is a like a long commercial. It will give you an overview, and lots of pretty pictures, but the last one I saw (I think was 2009) was not all that informative on details- like prices. Another possible way to get info is if you have a AAA membership. Going in person to your local office is a good place to start. Even if youa re not a member, they might be willing to give you some brochures. A local travel office cna also do the same. Still one more possibility is Comcast's on Demend. Tehy used to have info there, not sure if they still do. There are also travel books you can get, or you can just use us.
One more question....Do you prefer to have all the small details planned, or more of a 'go with the flow approach' (i.e. the freedom to make in-the-moment smart choices) We can help you get to a happy place either way.

As you probably already know, every month has pros and cons. I'd not mention the month at all...but if I am advising a newcomer, January is not the first month I'd suggest. WDW is certainly open for business in January. It is also one of the most inexpensive times to go. I just don't want you to go uninformed. WDW is kind of made for 80 degree weather, and January is probably not going to be 80 degrees. that's why January is inexpensive. It's also a low crowd time of year. Lots of informed customrs love going to WDW in January.
Another aspect of January is the national weather. It depends where you are coming from, but I've been to WDW in winter lots of times, and can tell you it's entirely possible to have your flights delayed/cancelled in winter (or really any time of year) due to storms, but it is kind of most frequent in winter and late summer (hurricane season). Again, I'm not trying to tell you to pick a different month, but rahter to inform you. I've gone many times in Feb. Feb is still a toss up weather-wise, but the odds of better weather go up as the month progresses (as do the prices, esp on the Pres holiday week). If you are driving from anothe part of FL, then you kow all this. If you are coming form someplace up north, and expecting FL to be in the 90's, then you may not be getting what you want going in Jan. Southern FLA stays pretty warm most of the time, but the Orlando area sometimes gets pretty cool. Then again, sometimes it's in the 70's in January. If you are flying, it might be worth your while to seek out direct flights, say.

2. we are simple eaters. We probably prefer quick and easy stuff. Nothing fancy (the kids won't appreciate it anyway). We wouldn't mind room service a time or two. Like buffets as well.
2b. I'd go on the picky eater side. Hubby will eat anything (loves new stuff). The rest of us, not so much.
3. I think the first time being there, we'd love the Disney. Not a 10 but certainly not a 1 either. I'll go with a little higher than the middle- let's say a 6 or 7!
4. We are a bit of both. Love keeping busy and the kids will love keeping busy and want to do it all. However, we'd probably like to have a day or two of just chilling and swimming for the day. A relaxing day in the middle would be perfect!! Hubby is also the type who won't want to go go go all the time. He will want to relax a bit. I have a feeling I may end up taking a day and going with the kids while he stays at the hotel.
5. No disabilities or mobility issues. Tired kids if we have to do a bunch of walking is about it. lol
Thanks so much for all of the help you guys are all giving! I appreciate it!!

To me it sounds worth it, but I may not completely understand it either.
Does it involve reservations for all meals?

Hi, enjoy your first trip.
I will put in my 2cents. You an interesting case, will the children share a bed? This will determine where you stay and may impact your budget. The value resorts are equipped with family suites, or rooms that are joined by an interior door.
Being your first trip some character dining would most likely be in order, but that is another thread. There are some really good threads on the Dining Plan, but depending on when you go ADR's can be a must. Used to be a time when you had no problems but more people are enjoying dining at T/S than they used too.
January in Florida is like April in N.S., April is much nicer. For a first timer I would suggest a Disney Specialist like Build a Better Mouse Trip or Small World Vacations. They are used to dealing with people who want to make things just right and ask a lot of questions.
I like to suggest a moderate resort for first timers however if you need more room I would be inclined to go with POP Century, it is a nice value resort. The value resorts are still very Disney and it is hard to believe when you are there that are possibly 5000 other people sharing the same resort.
I hope this helps.

i don't like the dining plan. it was a good deal back when tips were included but now it doesn't offer much of a savings and it often pushes you into choices that you don't really want.
there is an entire forum dedicated to the dining plan, so you might want to read some of the stickied threads there to decide what you prefer:

In 2014, Easter falls on April 20 - so you will do better if you can avoid the week before Easter and the week after. there shoudl be a sweet spot aruond the begining of the month, or at the end of the month. If you don't mind going that late, the week including April 28 will likely have great rates. Otherwise the very start of the month will be great weather, not sure yet how pricing will fall. The tail end of March/first few days of April should also be excellent (weather and crowds) , since Easter falls so late next year.
All Disney resorts have pizza delivery, but I think only the deluxes have real room service. All Disney resorts also have quick serve places (food courts). We really like to eat in the food courts most mornings because they are quick.
In the morning, it pays to make good use of time. you don't have to drive your fanmily nuts holding to a schedule, but being at the parks very close to 9am most mornings is very helpful. On the DIS we call that 'rope drop.' (being at the gates when the proverrbial rope drops tolet guests enter the park. If the posted park opening is at 9am, rope drop actually often happens at quarter to the hour, 8:45am) Personally we are rarely AT the gate before 9am, but most days we are there by 9:15am. You cna get a lot of park done in the first hour. Conversely, you can aslo do a lot of rides after dark. the parks are really fun at night, so I highly suggest it. the crowds drop off a ton, and the nitgh time lighting is relaly superb. The night parade at MK is the only one we see. It's that cool. the night fireworks at MK are also superb - but I'm getting ahead of myself.
If you are going in April, then any disney resort is going to be nice. (In Jan, it realy pays to stay deluxe).
the Dinig Plan used to be a great deal. It is not for 2013, but we'll see what 2014 brings. It is still useful though as a rough guide as to how much food costs at WDW.
gotto go...

Hello friends! I made a TV show! It's on Monday nights on NatGeo.
WELL, IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN: TIME FOR ME TO WRAP UP MY LISTS. As always, these lists have made us laugh, made us think, and just plain made us more … US. They've shown us the best in ourselves; the best in lists; and the best of all time with instant classics that have reignited our passion for lists, and our appreciation of the year gone by: 2013.
And so, like every year, we end with the greatest of all lists — the list that made us fall in love with lists in the first place.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor (and my deep pleasure) to present the TOP TEN CARS AND TRUCKS OF 2013:
10. Greenish-grey cars
9. Trucks with 450-V-Block engines
8. (TIE) Cars with sunroofs / "I'm gonna let you off with a warning because I like all your bumperstickers"
7. Self-driving cars that know enough to stay in the goddamn garage, America when did we lose our way
6. (THREE-WAY TIE*) Fun cars / Trucks with hay in the back of them / "Heeeenry did you remember to drive the car?" "Yes dear"
5. Shiny cars, fresh from the car wash (Optional #5 for adult readers: "Shiny cars, fresh from the BIKINI car wash")
4. 360 horsepower trucks with dual 4×4 suspensions
3. Simple, well-made cars
2. (TIE) Some of the best cars and trucks / Transportation
1. "Kid, you gotta be kidding me with how wonderful this car and/or truck is"
Goodbye, my list-friends! Have a nice year and I'll see you on the internet in 2014. –David Rees

LET'S NOT BEAT AROUND THE BUSH: 2013 WAS A GREAT YEAR FOR MOLECULES. Leading scientists have admitted that our exploding population has led to a radical increase of molecules that makes them very happy because they all love molecules so much.
Is it any wonder that these tiny building blocks (molecules) were THE topic of science-conversation for most of the year? At all the hottest restaurants and church function halls and NASCAR speedways and slaughterhouses and computer startup companies, when the conversation got real, it got down to molecules. And you can take that to the bank … THE MOLECULE BANK.
In fact, this was one of the hottest jokes of the year among scientists: "Hey guys, didja hear that the latest must-have fashion accessory on Donton Abbey is no longer a monocle, but a molecule?" Mama mia, what a world we live in, and it's all made out of molecules!
So without any further delay, let's revisit THE TOP TEN MOLECULES OF 2013:
10. Classic molecules
9. Water molecules
8. (TIE) O-C-O-O-H-C2 / "Dude, I just wanna say I really respect molecules"
7. Molecules that remind us that what unites us is stronger than what divides us
6. Party molecules at the hottest clubs
5. Vegetable and fruit molecules, gotta eat those healthy molecules
4. H-O-H-C3-O-G-O-O-H, the hottest new molecule on the scene
3. (TIE) "The Wolf of Molecule Street" / "The new pope is giving away free molecules!"
2. Atoms
1. Hall of Fame Molecules that make you happy just to see them in your microscope

LAKES AND OCEANS CONTINUED TO POST HUGE GAINS IN 2013. Whether it was news about dying sea life in oceans or boating accidents in lakes, sometimes it felt like you couldn't go a day without hearing the latest news about lakes and oceans, a.k.a. our watery friends. Compare this to rivers and streams, which barely warranted a mention in the past twelve months. Perhaps 2014 will be for rivers and streams what 2013 was for lakes and oceans? Only time will tell.
In any event, pull on your swimsuit and take a dip into the TOP TEN LAKES AND OCEANS OF 2013:
10. Atlantic Ocean
9. Lake Erie
8. Ocean of red tape (ObamaCare)
7. (TIE) Refreshing lakes and oceans / The bottom of the ocean
6. "Did you hear the latest news about a lake? Turns out it's ALL WET" (classic lake joke that stole our hearts in 2013)
5. Lakes that drones fly over
4. Pacific Ocean
3. Foreign lakes and oceans
2. Pollution in the waters, America when did we lose our way
1. The coolest lakes and oceans
Posted in Best Of 2013
10. Pasta primavera
9. Penne pasta
8. Ziti spaghetti
7. Whole-wheat spaghetti
6. Nice and tasty spaghetti
5. (TIE) Wonderful spaghetti / Dry spaghetti
4. Sports spaghetti
3. (TIE) Gnocchi spaghetti / Bargain spaghetti
2. Steaming hot and fresh spaghetti
1. "Did you wash the spaghetti?"

FOR SOME OF US, THERE'S NO SWEETER SIGHT THAN A BASKET OF DAY-OLD BAKED GOODS AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAFE. Whether you're a budget-conscious diner who has developed a taste for 75-cent muffins, or a carbo-loader who prefers his scones "rock-hard" just like his abs, or a gourmand who believes "stale bagels just plain taste better and I'll beat the tar out of anyone who disagrees and mop the floor with their guts," in 2013 we had many opportunities to partake of "the day-old sweetness."
In fact, some bakers are privately wondering if 2013 was the best year ever for day-old baked goods. Perhaps it was the economic downturn, or maybe just people's curiosity about day-old baked goods … but for whatever reason, those in the know are saying 2013 will go down in history as "The Year of The Day-Old" or "The Day-Old Year," or perhaps simply "Crust Epoch 2013."
In any event, sink your teeth into the TOP TEN DAY-OLD BAKED GOODS OF 2013:
10. Tasty day-old baked goods
9. Delicious day-old baked goods
8. Muffins wrapped in 500 yards of plastic wrap per muffin
7. Cookies with really tiny raisins like pebbles
6. "Dude you gotta try this scone … you'd never know it's a day-old scone."
5. Day-old bagels with fresh cream cheese
4. "I can't believe these bargain prices for day-old baked goods"
3. (TIE) Day-old baked goods piled high in a basket / "This is the Fort Knox of old muffins, I love this coffee shop"
2. One dollar for a piece of pie
1. Day-old baked goods that are even better than fresh-baked goods

IF THERE'S ONE THING WE LEARNED IN 2013, IT'S THAT 2013 WAS A GREAT YEAR FOR ERGONOMICS. Whether it was a new kind of lumbar support, or the latest biomorphic approach to mattress design, "the Science of Human Posture" (ergonomics) had a great year in 2013 because advances in computing power, conceptual rigor, and industry-wide innovations — not to mention all the other things related to ergonomics!
Is it any wonder that the National Journal of Ergonomics recently published an editorial called "This Wonderful Year of 2013 Was the Best Year for Ergonomics We've Ever Seen in Our Lifetimes?" The answer would be no.
So let's celebrate the best of the Human Body Sciences (ergonomics) with a list that won't give you carpal tunnel syndrome: THE TOP TEN ERGONOMICS OF 2013!
10. Ergonomics of comfortable office chairs
9. Ergonomics of kitchen counters at the correct height for food preparation
8. "Memory-foam" pillows that look just as good as regular pillows
7. Contemporary ergonomics
6. (TIE) European ergonomics / Posture games
5. Ergonomics that make your day a little more comfortable
4. Ergonomics that make your headaches go away
3. Ergonomics that make you excited to do your job
2. Some of the best ergonomics we've ever seen

IN 2013, WHEN WE WANTED TO HAVE FUN WITH WORDS, WE REACHED FOR OUR PALINDROMES. Palindromes (words or phrases that sound the same no matter which way you say them) are a uniquely American way to celebrate our language … and our lives. There's nothing more fun, more distinctly "USA R A US," than describing a current event using a custom palindrome you thought of down at the corner bar with your friends. And the best thing about palindromes is: THEY'RE FREE! The only limit is your "imaginationoitanigami."
It was a great year for palindromes; nobody can deny that. So let's kick back, put our feet up, and enjoy this trip down memory lane with the TOP TEN PALINDROMES OF 2013.
10. Madam I'm Adam 2013
9. No Mars Rover's over on Mars, son
8. Ragtag dude's a dud on guitar (this was about Bob Dylan)
7. Papal pups lap up a slap
6. Elon Musk car: Noel, scum
5. Ice caps warm Mr. Aws, is space, ci! (say in Italian accent)
4. Obama, man, web .gov sux (health), the lax us .ov be wan o mama!
3. Sal, la le goog, wears awe Google Glass.

ONE THING THAT SETS AMERICA APART FROM OTHER COUNTRIES IS OUR LOVE OF RESULTS. Whether it's a hotly contested football game or the latest scientific research, we're all about the final score, the takeaway, the endgame … the RESULTS. It's why we flip to the last page of our novel to find out how the story ends; it's why we want to know the RESULTS of our medical tests; it's why we like to read our grandparents' last will and testament — because once you know the RESULT, you can decide whether anything is worth doing.
Don't believe America loves results? Take a look around: we've got the RESULTS to prove it! Take a look at the Hoover Dam. Take a gander at that American flag on the moon. Take a glance at the hottest American cars and trucks on the highway. Take a gaze at the American landscape … all you see is RESULTS after RESULTS after RESULTS. We get things done, and we have the results to prove it.
There were many results in 2013. From elections to Pope decisions to TV contests, it seemed every American conversation was about results this year. And so now, without any further dilly-dallying, here are the results (ha!) of my list of the TOP TEN RESULTS OF 2013:
10. Pleasant results
9. "Ooh, I like that result!"
8. Loose ends tied up perfectly
7. Unexpected result that turns out, upon reflection, to be preferable to the expected result
6. Scientific results
5. (TIE) Funny results (i.e. "Look at the pancake batter on your mustache!") / Serious results (i.e. "My calculator gave me this result")
4. Everything wrapped up with a big red bow on top
3. Unambiguous results
2. "You always get the coolest results and that's why I love you"
1. The greatest results of all time

THEY SAY MUSIC IS THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES, AND IN 2013 THE SOUNDTRACK WAS BETTER THAN EVER. From the latest pop hits to classic songs from days gone by, if 2013 was all about one thing, it was all about the music. And if we wanted to hum along, nobody would stop us — because everyone had music fever this year.
There were some days in 2013 when you couldn't walk down the street without hearing new music. And if you decided to go shoe shopping? "Fugeddaboutit," because shoe stores were playing music CONSTANTLY in 2013! Call it the magic of music, or the Spirit of 2013, or Shoe-Shopping Delight, but for whatever reason, we heard allll the good music when we were shoe shopping this year. I probably bought 45 pairs of shoes this year, just because it's a great way to hear free music. And that's why music was KING in 2013. Because people love good music.
Here's my list of the BEST MUSIC OF 2013:
10. Decent music, nothing special
9. Slammin' club hits your niece likes
8. Music where the producers are trying their hardest
7. Opera songs where everyone's screaming and stabbing each other
6. Rap music: "I'd like to say / rap music is here to stay (in 2013) / hip hop hooray / my name is Ray" etc. etc.
5. (TIE) Cool tunes / Guitar solos where you think, "That guy must have twenty fingers!"
4. Theme music
3. (TIE) All-American music / Music that makes ya go "hmm-mm?"
2. Songs you can't get out of your head
1. Music that goes to #1 on the charts and changes the game

Chicago parents in a bind because of the teachers' strike have options for child care and some last-minute possibilities for extending summer camp into the fall.
One example is Lakeshore Sport & Fitness at 1320 W. Fullerton, which renewed its summer camp until the strike ends and had 30 children enrolled on Monday.
In addition to the 144 contingency schools set up by Chicago Public Schools (www.cps.edu/childrenfirst),
For a map showing the contingency schools as well as scores of churches and other sites that will be open to CPS schoolchildren, check the map at Suntimes.com. In addition several Chicago Park District parks are offering camp from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to accommodate strike-stranded children. For a list, go to the park district website (http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/programs/children-first-programming/).
A number of private groups also have extended their daycare or camp options for parents who need to place their children.
Lakeshore's camp, which had originally ended on Aug. 31, runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and costs $80 per child each day for Lakeshore members and $100 per child each day for non-members. Activities include sports, dancing, swimming, arts and crafts and trips to the park.
Interested parents should contact camp director Eric Eyerman at (773) 770-2422 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sue Zeiler, founder of ChicagoKids.com, said parents may try these alternatives:
♦Get free curricula for their children at home-schooling web sites and home-schooling groups.
♦Link up with other parents to pool resources such as taking turns watching the children and carpooling.
♦Ask relatives, grandparents and others to help.
♦For parents of children with special needs, resources exist such as http://chicagoplayproject.com/chicago-teachers-strike-and-students-with-autism/.

"Good job, MG"
By Shirley Rogers
Comments: This is my first time and I discovered you quite by accident. The business card holder arrived in a timely fashion and the engraving was just as I ordered. The Business Card Holder is heavier than I had anticipated which is a good thing. There were no problems which is the way I like to shop. Thank you, too, for the MG rewards points.
"card holders"
By Louisa F.
Comments: A very nice way to display business cards on your desk. It looks very elegant and it is small so it doesn't take up a lot of room. It also has a very nice weight to it, so it won't fall over when someone is grabbing a card.

2nd International EarthCache Event a Huge Success
GSA recently hosted the highly successful International EarthCache Mega Event. This event, which connects earth-science education to the world of geocaching, attracted more than 700 people. Participants attended workshops about geocaching and earth science, met fellow EarthCachers from around the world, explored Maine while hunting for geocaches and EarthCaches, and joined GSA for a post-event field trip to practice mineral identification skills.

- PVD-Verfahren (1) (remove)
- Development of Molecular Glasses for Solvent-Free Photolithography utilizing Combinatorial Vapor Deposition (2007)
- This thesis is concerned with solvent-free film preparation of low molecular weight, amorphous, photosensitive resists by physical vapor deposition (PVD), their subsequent UV exposure through a mask and their development to produce features in the micro- and nanometer range. In the frame of the thesis towards a solvent-free lithography, the combinatorial PVD techniques developed in our group allow the exact preparation of gradients or sectors on the same substrate as well as the coevaporation of several substances. Whilst evaporation, different masks can be positioned between the sources and just below the substrate so that the material deposit only within defined sectors of the substrate. By doing so, a so-called sector library with various sectors with different compositions on the same substrate and in one sequence without breaking the vacuum or opening the PVD chamber can be created. In the thesis, two types of low molecular weight, negative tone photoresists were investigated: 1.) Research was carried out on molecular glass photoresists which consist of several components. One of these components, a photoacid generator (PAG), generates acid molecules when exposed to suitable wavelengths. In a post-exposure bake, the formed protons catalytically initiate reactions between the other resist components (chemical amplification). Investigations and characterizations (DSC, TGA, HPLC) were performed on the suitability of various low molecular weight chemically amplified resist (CAR) materials for film deposition via PVD as well as subsequent photolithography processes. Three ternary systems were identified to accomplish the requirements (vapor depositability, formation of glassy films, photostructurability). Each of them consists of a molecule with several phenolic groups, an acid labile crosslinker, and a PAG. By utilizing the combinatorial mask technique of the PVD facility, sector libraries were prepared to optimize the composition of each of the CARs. The exposure dose was also combinatorially optimized by irradiating each of the created sectors with different doses of 365 nm UV light. Additionally, development conditions like dilution and time were optimized. Interestingly, it was found that two resists can be developed with pure water which is a step towards more environmentally friendly processes. With the employed equipment, features with a resolution of 400 nm could be realized. HPLC analysis was utilized to determine the thermal stability of investigated substances and the compositions in the prepared sectors. 2.) Newly synthesized, self-reactive coumarin derivatives were explored in regard to their suitability for an all-dry photolithography process. When exposed to wavelengths above 300 nm, many coumarin derivatives undergo a [2+2] cycloaddition. Depending on the number of functional coumarin groups, dimers, chains, or networks can be generated by this photoreaction. The ten coumarin esters presented in this thesis were, except for one, newly synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, HRMS, elemental analysis, DSC, and TGA. They were synthesized in respect of requirements regarding photoresists and PVD, e.g. glass-forming properties, and thermal stability. Several of the synthesized esters could be evaporated without decomposition. Two esters, 1,3-dibenzoic-5-tert-butylcoumarinester und 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzoiccoumarinester, produced the desired amorphous and thus transparent films. Since the monomers preferably reform when the irradiated product is exposed to wavelengths below 300 nm, irradiation only above this critical wavelength was employed. This circumstance lead to long exposure times of 50 min because of the small overlap between the absorption spectra of the coumarin derivatives and that of the lamp. The successful employment of a sensitizer which could be coevaporated with 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzoiccoumarinester reduced the necessary exposure dose significantly from 50 to 5 min. Since the above described coumarin derivative monomers evaporate in high vacuum, a dry development through the removal of the unexposed monomers by thermal treatment under high vacuum in a self-made facility was also investigated. One of the two vapor-depositable and glass-like monomers, monofunctional 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzoiccoumarinester, could be removed completely by thermal treatment under high vacuum. By doing so, an all-dry photolithography with a low molecular weight coumarin ester could be established. It was shown that a dimerization is sufficient to create an ample difference in melting points for a dry development. In summary, this thesis proved the concept of PVD for the solvent-free preparation of low molecular weight, glassy photoresist films. The application of a newly synthesized coumarin derivative as a negative tone, low molecular weight photoresist allowed an all-dry photolithography, and was realized for the first time for this substance class.

Amazing Slippers
By JBH
from Atlanta GA
I bought these for my mother in law because she doesn't like to have to pull shoes on and needs the added support of a full slipper vs a mule style. She also needed the ability to adjust the width to whatever she needed and these slippers were perfect on all fronts
Great comfortable and warm slippers

Guys save: Order women's style
By Crazy Charlie

Great slippers, best ever. Guys, if you have small to medium size feet, save $$ and order the women's style. There's no difference other than the price! I wear a men's 8-9 and the women's medium is perfect. Adjustable at least +/-2 sizes.
Great slippers!
By Max
from South Surrey (Crescent Beach), BC Canada
My Canadian post office was broken into and robbed before I could pick up my slippers. But when I telephoned and explained the situation to Customer Service, another pair was sent out to me right away, at no charge! Thank you for your wonderful service and product, Hammacher Schlemmer!

Museums, Not Motor Shows, Take Center Stage In 2012 Two museum exhibitions, one opening and the other just closed, that recognize a pair of leading design houses, Pininfarina and Bertone, are celebrating iconic car designs that have come from their studios. At the same time, these events underscore the uncertain future faced by the independent Italian design community at large. Pininfarina is being commemorated in an exhibition at Museo Ferrari in Maranello, which runs through next January, while Bertone, celebrating its 100th anniversary, was the subject of a display that closed last...

Bottles of wine and backpacks are proposed to visitors at the "Bug' boutic" (Bugarach shop) of the "Amis du Pic" (Peak's friends) association, on December 20, 2012 in the French southwestern village of Bugarach, near the 1,231 meter high peak of Bugarach - one of the few places on Earth some believe will be spared when the world allegedly ends according to claims regarding the ancient Mayan calendar, on December 21. French authorities have pleaded with New Age fanatics, sightseers and media crews not to converge on the tiny village. The slogan on the bottle reads : "if only one remains, I will be that one".

Jenson Button fears he hasn't spent enough time in his MP4-28 especially as rain is expected at Barcelona on Friday.
The McLaren driver replaced his team-mate Sergio Perez for the final two days of running at the Spanish track.
However, Button's track-time on Thursday was curtailed due to set-up and mechanical changes. He completed just 71 laps.
The Brit will be in action again on Friday but with rain forecast Button fears McLaren may be falling behind.
"It's going to be wet tomorrow so it's tricky," he said.
"I don't feel like I've had enough laps in the car and I think it's the same for Checo [Perez] as well.
"We're doing a lot of work to really understand the car in terms of the aerodynamics.
"We were doing a lot of rake work in the morning and it always takes a little bit longer than you expect. You lose a lot of time doing that.
"It's important for us if it helps us throughout the year to understand this car and its direction but it does limit your testing."
Asked whether he felt McLaren were behind in their preparations, he said: "In terms of laps completed and the testing that I have achieved, yes, I think we're behind on that.
"It's not been perfect and we know we've got a lot of work to do in terms of spending more time out on the circuit and understanding the car."

State Rep. Feigenholtz Holds Mortgage Relief Project to Help Local Residents Avoid Foreclosure
CHICAGO – Continuing her efforts to protect local residents and reduce area foreclosures, state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago) participated in the Mortgage Relief Project on Saturday to help Chicago residents keep their homes and avoid foreclosures. Residents from Lakeview to Cicero came for the opportunity to meet with Department of Housingand Urban Development-certified housing counselors to ask questions about their mortgages.
The seminar marked the twentieth stop in the statewide Mortgage Relief Project, an initiative of Governor Pat Quinn to help homeowners keep their homes and avoid foreclosure. The program is administered by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) and the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) and was co-hosted by Feigenholtz, state Sen. President John Cullerton (D-Chicago), state Rep. Ann Williams (D-Chicago), Alderman Tom Tunney and outgoing Alderman Vi Daley.
"The state of Illinois wants to help you keep your homes because avoiding foreclosures improves our communities as a whole," Feigenholtz said. "Legislators are working hard in Springfield to ensure that homeowners have the tools they need to be informed about their options and prevent foreclosure. Whether we are urging Congress to place a moratorium on foreclosures or giving homeowners more time to refinance their mortgages, we must protect our residents."
Feigenholtz is also encouraging residents to be aware of the Homeowner Protection Act, which gives homeowners who have fallen behind in their mortgage payments a grace period of up to 90 days if they seek and enter housing counseling. Homeowners can use this period to refinance their mortgage or set up a payment plan with their bank.
"Many homeowners came because they did not have anywhere else to go and felt trapped by their mortgage," said Feigenholtz. "Having a one-stop shop where homeowners can meet one-on-one with a housing counselor, learn about mortgages and get honest answers to their questions gives homeowners valuable information to help them fight to keep their homes. Falling behind on your mortgage does not have to lead to foreclosure and I am working hard to provide as many tools as possible to help people get back on the right financial track."
Homeowners who were unable to attend Saturday's event may call IDFPR's consumer helpline at (800) 532-8785 for assistance. For more information about the program, please visit www.idfpr.com or www.ihda.org. A list of HUD-approved housing counseling agencies in Illinois can be found at www.hud.gov.

Theorizing on stat weights is way early. We will have to see if and how brewmasters use blizzards new active mitigation stuff they are hyping.
While at Blizzcon 2011, I got first hand experience of the current alpha build of both the Pandaren starting area as well as the Monk class. For this particular post I will focus mainly on the monk (brewmaster) mechanics and theory crafting more so than I will the pandaren (but I will touch on them breifly in a few moments). -Drunkenidiot
Monk Class
The monk is a melee fighter that specializes in the use of Staves (healer- Mistreaver), Polearms (tank- Brewmaster), and Fist weapons (damage- Windwalker). The monk can also use one handed weapons such as swords, maces and axes. Although with the level 1-10 experience I got to play the class mechanics seem to focus more heavily on fist weapons.
Monks have several resources to manage in combat;
- Energy (main resource)- Functions like energy for a rogue or feral druid in the fact that it regenerates at a constant rate (*speculation* -will possibly be effected by haste to regenerate faster). This resource is used for most builder spells and has a cap of 100.
Monk tanking (gear, stats priority, professions, racial bonuses)
- Chi-Chi functions like Holy Power (Paladin). Chi is built up by spending Energy using the ability [Jab].
- Gear- The monk class uses Agility Leathergear for tanking and tank with a polearm. There is no ranged slotitem for a monk (because the ranged slot is being removed in 5.0)Monk tanks will share gear with Guardians (druid tanks).
- Stat Priority- This section is all theory at this points but as a general idea the stat priority would be similar to that of a Guardian Druid.
Stamina > Agility > Mastery > Dodge/Parry > Hit/Expertise > Haste > Crit
- Professions- Every profession has some kind of bonusto encourage people to take them.
Profession Bonus What is means Alchemy Flasks last longer and potions are stronger Stronger armor/ health potions Blacksmithing Extra socket on bracers and gloves Extra stats on bracers and gloves Enchanting Ability to enchant base stats on rings Enchanted rings Engineering Tinkers for armor buff/ damage reduction (can backfire) Medium risk for higher stats Herbalism Heal over time ability that increases haste Extra self heal Inscription Shoulder enchant Better stats on shoulders Jewelcrafting Three (3) jewelcrafting gems Equals about two (2) extra gems Leatherworking Bracer and leg enchants stats on bracers and legs Mining Stamina increase Extra health Skinning Critical Strike bonus *not good for tanking* Tailoring Leg and cloak enchants leg stats, cloak proc (tho most likely not a tank one)
As details for the upcoming expansion are released, I will be updating this post with information about the Brewmaster class and its abilities and the new talent tree and what the ability functionality for tanking is.
- Racial Bonuses- Every race in the World of Warcraft can be a monk, with the exception of Worgen, and Goblin.
- Alliance
- Draenei- Racial heal ability, and increased hit rating.
- Dwarf- Armor buff that removes DoTs.
- Gnome - Can remove snares.
- Human - PvP trinket.
- Night Elf- Chance to not be hit.
- Horde
- Blood Elf- AoE silence that regenerates Chi.
- Forsaken (undead)- Can remove sleeps and fears.
- Orc- Attack Power boost.
- Tauren- Increase to base health, AoE stun.
- Troll- Increased attack speed buff.
- Neutral
- Pandaren- Double effect from food buffs.

I may be an idiot but you are arguing with me. What does that make you?

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Secondly, you automaticly assume that they can't Parry. Are you sure of it? And would in the activa tanking model Haste (more Chi) not be better than hit/exp?
And finally, tailoring & LW don't give better leg stats, they just give them cheaper. And only Mistweavers will be getting something from the Tailoring one (LW will do tank/melee stats)

Depends on how they restore Chi; does mainly only regen over time, or does dignificant amounts come from other sources such as damage taken or avoidance? and if elements of their Active Defence systems need to land on the enemy (like DS) or not (like wrath's GoDP) Haste could well be above expertise (as it will be for blood DKs come 4.3)
Thanks for the input guys. I made a couple corrections on stuff I either missed (parry) or fixed some wording (tailoring/ leatherworking bonuses)
I may be an idiot but you are arguing with me. What does that make you?
I may be an idiot but you are arguing with me. What does that make you?
But Energy gain is affected by hAste, thus why it's attractive to all rogue specs. the reason Haste is attractive to DKS is that it speeds up rune regens
Saying haste will be attractive to monks is like saying it is attractive for DK's while it is an honorable mention dodge, parrry, and mastery are way more important.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
The thing is, Chi is required for Jab, which in turn provides with Light/Dark Energy.
Assuming that the tanking mechanics in MoP will be as advertised, a 5% increase in Chi generation equals a 5% Power generation increase, which ends up being 5% more self-healing abilities pressed. It might not be a big deal in 25 or even 10 man raids, but it might actually matter in 5mans (read: challenge modes).
I also never said that Haste would overshadow Avoidance or Mastery, leethaxor, I merely said it will most likely be above hit/exp, because Blizz has clearly stated they don't like the missing survival abilities like Death Strike on DKs, hit/exp caps should not be something a tank should be worrying about.
That said, it came to me that with that much Agility, they'll probably end up having a high crit rate just like bears, so they might tie in some defensive abilities into crits. Something like how Savage Defense works. But they probably don't have it figured out themselves yet, so I'll wait till about next summer for the beta/launch to give us some nice juicy information.
