Televisions playing
hours in a row
numbing the minds of many
so they may never know
What really goes on
behind the scenes
all are blinded
by their screens
Conversation stops
for the TV now speaks
killing imagination
making us weak
Sucked up in a world
that is not real
losing the ability
to really feel
Images of war
unfortunate normalities
killing the grace
of any morality
Subliminal messages
taking control
polluting the spirit
destroying the soul
Mass consumption
is the thing
the song of greed
is what we sing
Eat and buy
buy and eat
we are all told
what we 'need'
Because we watch
hours of TV
we are willing to follow
like proper sheep

My hope is that you reading this will realize that life is short, and we each only have a very limited number of days to enjoy and experience the thrill of being alive. Every minute and hour spent in front of the mind-numbing "idiot box" only steals you away from the precious and limited moments you could be spending on creating something of value to the world, or epic memories with the people you love.
Choose to live your own life rather than living vicariously through other people who are out there living up their own dreams and desires, while your own dreams and desires slowly fade away into the back of your mind.

Timber-lee Christian Center, Classic Camp
East Troy, Wis.
$310-$370, one-week sessions
Ages: 3rd grade through high school
More than 60,000 stream through Timber-lee Christian Center's rolling hills to partake in various resident camps, day camps and retreats. To handle this type of volume and the sheer number of programs ongoing at any one time, you have to be strong.
That's why the name Timber-lee was chosen for this diverse camp setting. Though you might not be able to pinpoint what it is about the name that embodies strength and dedication to mission at first blush, it still seems to embody those characteristics.
"We chose the name Timber-lee for the big oaks on the property, the big beams in the buildings, and the cross of Christ for our spiritual heritage," says Brian Ogne, president of Timberlee Ministries. "The 'lee' came from the place of shelter or protection, like the leeward side of an island. It's a combination of the big sturdy timber with a place of retreat and quiet reflection. We also chose the name Christian Center, rather than just camp, because we wanted to move into the conference center realm."
Generation of Heritage
By the looks of things, Timber-lee Christian Center has been successful on all counts, literally living up to its name. It has almost seamlessly integrated seemingly disparate functions — as day camp, resident camp and conference center — with year-round programming, while staying true to its mission.
"Our mission is to impact kids for Jesus Christ and to be a place where families, as well as kids, come away from the busyness of society and life," says executive director John Welch.
The mission has not changed since the camp's inception in 1946 as an outgrowth of the Evangelical Free Church of America. The church bought five acres from the Northwestern Railroad in downtown Williams Bay, Wis., right next to the rail yards. The camp began using simple tents.
By 1972 the camp, called Camp Willabay at the time, happened upon one of those "camp miracles," as Ogne calls it, and found the 500-acre property near East Troy that the camp currently occupies.
The property, owned by the Chicago-area Hull House organization, included 50 buildings, all in good working order. The "miracle" was the price, which was just the cost of the land itself.
The name was changed to Timber-lee, and since that time the camp has met many of its goals, expanding while maintaining the spirit of that original tent camping program.
It's a year-round facility, serving about 300 schools each year, where students attend environmental and outdoor classes from two to five days mid-week. There are also summer day camps and four-season retreats ongoing with its more traditional summer residence camp.
It sounds like a logistical nightmare, but Timber-lee's leaders are calm and confident about the center's ability to handle it all, and add new programs and facilities when needed.
This confidence comes from its dedicated staff (45 full-time, 46 part-time). For example, the center runs a working ranch, with full-time staff dedicated to its operation.
"They see it as part of their ministry and job to care for the kids and not just the horses," says programming director Roger Johnson.
In the summertime, the part-time staff balloons to more than 150, mostly college-aged counselors and support staff, with a smattering of older high-school students.
"The best recruiter for college staff is the college students who were here last year," says Welch. "If they had a good experience and were positively impacted, they'll talk about it to their friends at school."
This word-of-mouth recruiting also tends to bring in counselors of like quality. They're more likely to know the camp's expectations and desires, so a recommendation for a new counselor from a great former counselor is as good as gold.
Timber-lee makes the rounds of regional college and Christian college campuses. These road trips typically kick off right after the Christmas season, utilizing schools, churches and former counselor contacts for recruiting venues.
To help combat the staff pinch all camps have felt in the last five years or so as other opportunities and activities vie for potential counselors' time, Timber-lee began offering a bonus for people who signed for all eight one-week sessions, plus the two weeks of training. The offer was a hit, as 47 students signed up for the full term.

Caylin Campbell recorded a hit and a run scored
April 25, 2014
RENO, Nev. - An offensive explosion that led the Nevada softball team to a 10-1 Mountain West win in five innings over San Jose State Friday afternoon, snapped a nine-game losing streak for the Pack.
The Wolf Pack (22-22, 4-12 MW) wasted little time in taking the lead, getting three runs across in the bottom of the first. Erin Jones and Nikki Orozco posted back-to-back, two-out singles in the frame that brought Amanda Weis to the plate. On the first pitch of the at-bat, Weis hammered her team-leading 10th home run to left, providing the Pack with an early 3-0 advantage.
Nevada added to its lead in the bottom of the second, scoring an unearned run. With two outs, a dropped foul ball by the Spartans' (25-21, 8-8 MW) first baseman allowed Sara Parsons another chance at the plate. With the extra pitch, Parsons roped a single through the left side and came around to score on a triple to right by Danielle Wiltz. Wiltz's fifth triple of the season extended the lead to 4-0.
In the top of the third, San Jose State plated its lone run of the ballgame when Devin Caldwell charged around the base paths for an inside the park home run. After a scoreless third frame for the Pack, the team exploded for six runs in the bottom of the fourth.
Ashley Butera led off the inning with a hard liner to center that resulted in a stand-up double. Caylin Campbell then stepped into the batter's box and beat out a slow roller to short, putting runners at first and second with no outs. Parsons loaded the bases when she collected her second hit of the game, blooping a single to left center.
Back to the top of the lineup for Nevada, Wiltz brought in a run by drawing a walk on a 3-1 count, pushing the lead to a 5-1 margin. With the bases still juiced, Megan Sweet connected on a two-RBI single up the middle. The bases were loaded once more when Jones was issued a one-out walk. Two more runs crossed home plate following an Orozco single to left, scoring Wiltz and Sweet. For Sweet, it marked her 46th run scored of the season, which sets a new Nevada single-season record.
Weis chipped in for one more run in the frame, singling up the middle and scoring Jones, giving the Pack its 10-1 lead. The Spartans posted back-to-back singles to start the top of the fifth and had runners on the corners with just one out. A pop fly to the pitcher and groundout to the first baseman, however, halted the SJSU threat and secured the win for Nevada.
Karlyn Jones improved to 6-8 on the year after tossing all five innings of work in the circle. She scattered four hits and struck out two batters. All-in-all the Pack struck for 11 hits in the game and three players, Orozco, Weis and Parsons, collected multi-hit performances.
Nevada continues its three-game conference series with the Spartans tomorrow afternoon, with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. at Hixson Park.

So where does this leave female lawyers on the question of what to wear? The United States Court of Appeals for the 7th District does, in fact, have a dress code that states that attire ''should be restrained and appropriate to the dignity of a Court of Appeals for the United States,'' but that isn't terribly specific. While we are approaching 2011, comments like ''[women are wearing] skirts so short that there's no way they can sit down and blouses so short there's no way the judges wouldn't look'' by Michael McCuskey, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, are deemed appropriate even though they clearly are sexist. A personal dress code is a bit difficult to come up with for any woman, but for women in law it can be incredibly difficult.
The Chicago Bar Association held a fashion show in the spring of 2010 to address the issue of what was appropriate and what was not for lawyers, unconsciously aiming it at the younger, female generation as that is where the fault seems to lie. Online bloggers Attractive Nuisance and Legally Fabulous wrote up commentaries on the show which seemed to ultimately suggest women should not show off their female figure to ''show some respect,'' as Legally Fabulous suggested, to the ''husband/father/boyfriend'' that the female lawyer in question is ''working for.'' This wording brings up a laundry list of other gender equality issues, but let's focus on the one of dress.
Since women and men should be treated equally, it is not ridiculous to say that, when it comes to dress code, we can use an accepted male dress code to build a woman's dress code. Men are expected to wear suits, so women should be as well. Women's suits can come in pants or skirts, so either should be acceptable.
Men's suits are also typically tailored or at least form fitting. Of course, the layers and fabric leave quite a bit to the imagination, but the way men's suits are constructed follow the natural shape of a man's body. This should be mimicked for women. While it may be inappropriate to wear a skin-tight women's suit (as it would be for a man), something that comes in at the waist and flares at the hip thus flattering the female form should be acceptable. Men aren't expected to look like boxes, so women should not be either.
The rule I would suggest here is if you can see your panty line, it's probably too tight.
Men's shirts are typically buttoned up to their collar. The deviation I would make here for women is that women's clothing is not usually constructed this way, but as men don't show a patch of chest hair, women should probably not show cleavage.
The tightness of pants can also be mimicked, for the most part. An anatomical fact is that many women are formed with wider hips. Expecting women to wear pants that are as wide at the feet as they are at the hip is unrealistic, so a certain amount of form fitting is to be expected. Again, can you see the panty line? If yes, go up a size.
Skirts are the major difference, but don't need to be a major problem. Like pants, the way a skirt will fit on a women is simply a matter of anatomy. It has to fit around a woman's hips. As for length, something that doesn't flash your good bits to the judge and jury should be acceptable.
Men are also expected to wear closed-toed shoes. Women can easily also follow this rule.
The discussion of make up or hair seems like it ought not even be made; however, men typically shave or trim. Women can do the equal here and wear the type of makeup, if any, that makes them look clean and neat - much like how a man would trim his beard or shave off stubble.
The issue of color seems to transcend gender in the world of law. Dark colors seem to be the only acceptable ones which, while this may be unfortunate, isn't necessarily bad as it leaves the issues of matching to be practically nonexistent.
If you feel like something is questionable, take it off. It's simple. The same goes for discomfort. If you can't cross or uncross your legs the way you'd like to, go with something in which you can. If bending over could possibly be a problem, find something that lets you move around.
Granted, these suggestions are only my own. Many who have been in the practice for decades would say otherwise. In a world where people like the Honorable Benjamin Goldgar are allowed to say that they're thinking, ''I'd really like to pay attention to your argument'' to female lawyers who dress inappropriately in his opinion it is difficult to know what is acceptable and what is not. Women are constantly instructed to dress to protect men from themselves which is as ridiculous as blaming a rape victim for wearing a short skirt. I would only like to suggest that women should be treated the same as men, and perhaps the first step is to dress like them.

The Economist: Punting Energy Security with Keystone

Last week, the US Department of State and President Obama put off a final decision on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline connecting oil supply regions in Canada with US refineries and distribution networks. The project was announced in July 2008 and was scheduled for approval a year ago, but the latest announcement pushes out the date until at least early 2013.
As I have stated before, the pipeline offers clear advantages in terms of job creation, cost improvement, and enhanced security. In a prior study, we determined that the total impact of the construction and development phases of the Keystone XL project on the US economy would include (over the life of the project) $20.931 billion in total spending, $9.605 billion in output, and 118,935 person-years of employment. These were calculated at that time in constant (2009) dollars and rise slightly when adjusted to a 2011-dollar basis ($21.979 billion in total spending and $10.087 billion in output).
As I described in a column several months ago, the delays in the permitting process have already cost business activity (on a net present value basis) of $1.19 billion in spending and $559 million in output, as well as postponing 88,622 person-years of employment. Job deferrals for states along the route vary, but most states have seen in excess of 5,000 person-years of employment (one person working for one year) delayed during a difficult economic period. These costs are growing as long as the project is on hold.
Among the primary reasons given for the delay is the route through the Sand Hills of Nebraska, an environmentally sensitive area, and the need to explore alternatives. Of course economics is not the only consideration in any infrastructure decision, and protecting the environment must also be a component of the process. However, the US Department of State has already gone through the extensive environmental impact assessment process. The resulting document is extremely detailed, with analysis of potentially affected species of wildlife (and even insects), public or private wells within a mile of the route, and much more. It involves hundreds of pages in eight volumes and ironically, as we go to press, the US Department of State's website still indicates that they are on track to reach a decision by the end of 2011. There was also a draft impact assessment issued in May 2010 which involved a lengthy comment period and meetings held in dozens of communities; issues raised were addressed in the final statement. Even an agreement to use an alternative route has not overcome the delay, suggesting that it is based on political rather than economic or environmental considerations.
The executive summary of the US Department of State's Final Environmental Impact Statement points out that Keystone has already agreed to comply with 57 additional "Special Conditions" developed by the Department of State and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration which would "result in a Project that would have a degree of safety greater than any typically constructed domestic oil pipeline system under current regulations."
It's simply not credible to say at this point in time that the project needs more study. The State Department rightly noted that if the pipeline isn't built, Gulf Coast refineries could obtain crude oil transported by marine tanker from areas outside of North America, but that many of these regions are experiencing declining production and are not secure. In addition, alternative transportation methods such as trucks or rail involve a higher likelihood of accidents, and the regions of origin are anything but stable. The bottom line is that not building this pipeline (which is designed to be much safer than existing pipelines and other transportation alternatives) will not magically reduce the demand for oil. Instead, it means that more oil from more unpredictable sources and transportation methods will have to be used, thus further delaying critical efforts toward energy security.
Reaction from Canada has been quite negative. By delaying approval of this project, the Obama administration has not only cost jobs in communities across the US, but also squelched the development of an important component of Canada's natural resource base. In fact, the end result may well be that this much needed energy goes elsewhere.
The irony of this delay is extreme given President Obama's recent frequent use of the phrase "we can't wait" in speeches and "pre-campaign campaigning." The KXL pipeline is a privately-funded, shovel-ready project, putting tens of thousands of people to work and offering other benefits in terms of energy security and even the environment. To delay it another 15 months is a clear case of a political punt not only of an important job initiative, but also of our energy future.

My awesome weekend :D!
Wow, was this the best weekend or what :D. It was lots of fun, well first off we had a suprise party for Geetu in English haha she was so paranoid because she knew her mom was going to do something and she was afraid if she did our English teacher would get into deep trouble (she's already on probation at school). It was hard to keep the suprise party from her, she was so sneaky (dang Geetu, don't be so nosey lol :P). Also on Friday we came late to school and we had a HOSA meeting at 8:15, and at this meeting we were supposed to nominate for next year but we came late and there was only two empty spots for "parlimentarian" so Geetu and I told Savanah to write our names down. So yeah, we're running against each other, which sucks :\. Anyways... well yeah, then later after school we decided to go see "Anger Management" with Lori, Abigael, and a bunch of people from school and my god is that a funny movie or what haha. "I feel pretty, I'm so witty... I'm so GAYYYY" haha something like that... I totally recommend to go watch that movie, it's funny stuff. After the movie we went to Toys R' Us but they were closed (damn them) then we went Ross, Michaels, and the Shoe Carnival but they were closed as well, so we ended up walking to Wal Mart :D lol. Yeah well we were just walking around the whole store and ate at Mcdonalds which was inside Wal Mart which I still find odd :\. Then we split up and Abigael, Lori, and I headed to the fish section and ahhh I saw Billy's twins :D, I really miss that fish I want him back :(. Then somehow we ended up in the toy section hrm... how ironic haha. We were hitting each other with these plastic bats and swimming things, then we sat down in these swinging chairs and relaxed :D. After that we were going to go back to the movie theater but all of a sudden Abigael and Lori get lost :|, my lord I spent forever looking for them until I gave up and waited outside with Geetu and Melissa and like 5 minutes later they come out, woof what a relief. Well yeah that was pretty much Friday... but Saturday was the bestest because that was Geetu's birthday and suprise party at the bowling alley. I got Geetu a GC shirt which she loves, I told her to wear it tomorrow and tell everyone I got it for her lol. Well anyways, I got there kind of late (6:30, party started at 6:00), about everyone went, it was really fun. I CAN ACTUALLY BOWL :D!, my god I thought that I would be doing the grandma throughout the whole game but no I'm actually good, I made two strikes :D, good for a beginner don't you think? It was fun, had some cake, bowled, played games, laughed, ahhh that's what I call fun :P lol. When the party was over, we stayed for disco night (which starts at 9:00). Geetu, Bianca, Abigael, Lori, and I were in one team, and Tania, Elmo (Tania's bf), Dani, and Selinda, were in another team. That was total fun, I think I made like 2 strikes in that game, I was trying to beat Abigael but unfortunatley I didn't, she got first place, Bianca second, and I got third, poo. They played crappy music in the beginning but at the end they played good stuff like rock and techno. So yeah I'd call that night "grand times" :). That was pretty much my weekend, it may not sound wow but it was you just had to be there :P. I'm off now... oh 31 more school days left :D and Easter breaks starts on Thursday, ahhh yes I'm going out of town :D!

Why ''Golden'' rocks
In an indie wilderness populated with like-named acts (Panda Bear, Grizzly Bear, Minus the Bear), we'll gladly share our pic-a-nic basket with Bear Hands, an unsigned foursome from Brooklyn. Golden their inaugural, self-released EP finds the band melding together indie rock and post-punk on songs like ''Long Lean Queen,'' a punchy anthem propelled by atonal vocals and persistent percussion. Judging from these four tracks, this young Bear is already exhibiting survival skills.

Another craft-based solution this week! I was looking for a way to keep track of my grocery list that didn't require losing or misplacing a pad of paper. The solution? Make the inside of a kitchen cupboard into a chalkboard! Easy. As. Pie.
You will need:
Instead of transferring the list to paper when you're headed to the store, save paper and take a quick picture of the list with your phone. Brilliant! Also harder to misplace!

I love it! Add a few more pieces of colored chalk and you have instant entertainment for your favorite 4 year old!

love that idea! gotta find a cupboard that will work well with.

LG W990 Mobile Phone with Intel Moorestown Chip is First in the World
Intel's Keynote presentation at CES 2010 had the LG W990 mobile phone as the star example of Intel's bid to sell its Moorestown platform for next-gen smartphones. LG W990 looks very much like the new LG Chocolate BL40 and BL20v models and Moorestown is being predicted to break Qualcomm's majority share of smart phone processors. Intel's Atom processors have become the industry standard for netbooks and small laptops. The microchip giant is aiming to achieve this feat again on the smart phone segment. Compared with the LG Projector Phone review, we're inclined to give this a bit higher rating for having a very powerful chipset.
For the AT&T LG Expo Projector phone (LG Expo GW820 Mobile Phone), the device is powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. We do not know what chip it is using but Moorestown – LG W990's chip – is built on Atom-based architecture but with 20x more power efficiency. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 1 GHZ processor is currently the world's most powerful smartphone engine and it is what powers Google Nexus One and the upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, which is equipped with Face Recognition software. Intel declined to divulge the specifif clock speed of LG W990 Moorestown chip but analysts are saying it might be near Atom's 1.6 Ghz. That will make it 60% faster than Qualcomm's Snapdragon. With this kind of power, the LG W990 is going to be a super multi-tasking beast. It will effortlessly run graphics heavy apps and play full HD videos in a snap.
Intel has officially admitted that they view the LG W990 smartphone as the "new mobile computer of the future". The giant increase in broadband speed has practically made the smartphone the world's favorite device for staying connected online, enjoying entertainment, doing personal communication and as an essential business tool.
The LG W990 release date is scheduled this first half of 2010. The LG W990 mobile phone demo unit unveiled at CES 2010 was noticeably bigger and thicker than other established smart phone brands. It was estimated to be 6 inches long and 2.5 inches thick. This might prove to be major turn-off, customers especially women prefers smaller, thinner and lighter mobile phones. Intel however clarified that the LG W990's demo unit was not yet final. Price of LG W990 smartphone and other technical specifications might also change before its release date to the US, Canada and European markets. Let's wait and see what more features can LG W990 offer us. We'll publish our full review of this phone when the right time comes.

Unity Pipeline Co. LLC—a joint venture of Harvest Pipeline Co., Somerset Gas Transmission Co. LLC, and Crossroads Pipeline Co.—part of NiSource's Columbia Pipeline Group, has begun a two-phase open season for a proposed 380-mile diluent pipeline supplying Marcellus and Utica shale light condensate and natural gasoline to Western Canada.
Phase 1, a nonbinding open season, will provide prospective shippers an opportunity through Dec. 20 to quantify their interest in the Unity Pipeline. Phase 2, set for next year, will allow shippers to submit binding offers for firm, long-term transportation service. Unity will consist of a 12-in. OD pipeline from Kensington, Ohio, connected to Somerset's existing North Coast Pipeline originating at Mantua, Ohio. The pipeline will further connect to the Crossroads Pipeline at Cygnet, Ohio, and ultimately terminate in Griffith, Ind., at an interconnection with Explorer Pipeline. The North Coast and Crossroads pipeline systems currently transport natural gas west-to-east and will be reversed and converted from natural gas to diluent service.
Unity will also build a system to gather diluent products from the Marcellus and Utica regions. This system will deliver condensate and natural gasoline to Kensington.

Honeymoon Help - Grand Floridian or Wilderness Lodge
My fiance are trying to decide on the best play to stay during our honeymoon. We just returned from a trip that we paid for ourselves in April - and we stayed at the French Quarter. This time is different considering money isn't an issue AND it's our honeymoon. Honestly, we were so pleased with FQ that we wouldn't even mind going back there, but you're supposed to go all out for your honeymoon, right?
We knew we wanted a Magic Kingdom resort; so after a good amount of research we narrowed it down to The Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge. I can honestly go either way at this point.
That being said, I've always wanted to stay at GF for as long as I've been going to WDW, but have never had an opportunity. Which is kind of the way I see this - an opportunity that we may never get again, totally unfettered.
Where we stay doesn't really phase her, she's just happy to be there, but she's leaning more toward Wilderness Lodge.
My big concerns are as follows
1). Is Grand Floridian just a really nice hotel or does it manage to retain that certain Disney Magic that I KNOW Wilderness Lodge would have. Because honestly, lavishness wouldn't matter one way or another if it didn't feel like we were at Disney.
2). I've read rumblings that Grand Floridian can be kind of stuffy as opposed to other resorts. Not Yacht Club stuffy, but still pretty up-tight. Is that true?
3). The Wilderness Lodge seems like a top-tier Moderate (which is totally fine), so what, other than theme and obvious Disney Magic, would we get for it over the GF?
What do you think, DISers? Lets have some super awesome insight!

We just got back from POR last week and loved that resort! We walked around GF and WL while we were there since we had dining reservations at both. If it were ME going for a honeymoon and money weren't an option, I would choose GF. My reason being it just seems "perfect" for a honeymoon! You also have a better view of the MK that you wouldn't get at WL. I also just love the monorail resorts. That's just my opinion, but no matter which you choose, it will be perfect because it IS your honeymoon and you are at WDW!!!!

What month are you getting married?
Depending on the month that you're getting married, I might be swayed to say Wilderness Lodge. However, I am a GF fan.
But, if you're getting married in say January thru March, I might be inclined to say Wilderness Lodge. Any other months and I'd vote GF. I say this because of the weather. It can be cold and if you aren't interested in swimming, et al. Wilderness Lodge just seems comfier to me if it's cold.
If it's November or December, it would still be cold likely, but the GF Christmas tree and the Gingerbread house make that a deciding factor for me to stay there those times.
I am one of those who thinks that a Honeymoon should be special. Others will say to save your money and do 2 Disney trips. But you'll remember your Honeymoon for lots of reasons. I don't think you can go wrong with either resort. But the Grand is the flagship and it is awesome. I have 3 young children and they love it and don't want to go anywhere else, so it's Disney enough for them. You see Mickey and the gang everywhere at GF in the rooms and public areas. You won't feel like you're not in Disney. You'll feel like you're in Disney Heaven!
And while there will be children at every resort, I have found that children are behaved reasonably well at GF. Some parents behavior might have been questionable though .

For a honeymoon adult trip I'd actually prefer to be near Epcot and stay at either the Beach Club or Boardwalk, but out of your two choices I'd pick the Grand Floridian. I do like the WL, but for a honeymoon trip I'd pick the deluxe resort (WL is kind of in between a moderate and deluxe).

We honeymooned at WL and loved it. One unique thing about it that we really enjoyed was the ability to take quiet walks through the woods towards Fort Wilderness. We did this almost every day, and it was a nice contrast to the busy parks.
When comparing it to GF, the cost difference is noticeable. While this makes WL seem not as special for some, it made it a more affordable way to get Disney deluxe accommodations for us. If you want to spend more at WL, you could do Club Level or even a honeymoon suite, but I'm not sure how much money is no object. We booked a standard room and got an upgrade to a beautiful courtyard view. The location and decor just work great for us, and that's where we choose to stay still on family trips.
On the other hand, if GF is your dream resort and this is your chance to stay there, go for it. Being on the monorail loop is nice, and it is a very nice luxurious hotel. Either way you'll have a great Disney resort.

Grand Floridian is my favorite resort and I don't consider it "stuffy" at all. The resort is beautiful, restaurants are good and being on the monorail is a big plus for me. Whatever you choose, have a wonderful time!!!

We did 2 nights at the GF after our wedding, and it was AMAZING. Not stuffy at all, and absolutely gorgeous. We stayed there the night of our wedding and the night after, then did 4 nights on the Disney Dream,, and then 7 nights at AKL. I still refer to it as our "epic honeymoon". We loved both resorts but in different ways. Have you considered a split say? That could work for you. Disney transferred all of our luggage for us from the contemporary (where we stayed leading up to wedding day) to the Grand Floridian, made it super easy.

I did a disney fairy tale wedding and honeymoon there and stayed at the grand floridian...utterly magical. But, the WL is also magical and more private. to me, if i were you, it all depends on what you are ultimately looking for. they both offer the disney experience beyond compare. i can remember waking up singing the opening gate song from the bed at the grand on my honeymoon...something i will never forget. but in the same breath i remember staying at the wilderness lodge feeling so cozy and much like i was home...loving all the cast members did to make you really feel like you were by your own fireplace at home. So...I know i did not really answer your question but pros and cons...they have both. for your honeymoon...what do you ultimately want to have? comfy...cozy...or...lavish luzury on the monorail? and believe me wilderness lodge is still luxury but in a total different aspect. And in my opinion...no matter which one you choose...you will not be disappointed one bit!
Congrats on the wedding and honeymoon upcoming and I wish you both pixie dust and all the luck in the world!
love, PrincessMo

I was just in Disney World a few weeks ago for my wedding planning session. The Grand Floridian currently has some construction going on outside the building. I am unsure as to how when the construction is scheduled to end, but you may want to take that into consideration when planning.
My preference is the Wilderness Lodge. I just like the uniqueness of it.

Having stayed at both, I would stay at GF. Nothing like sitting on your balcony watching the fireworks.

We have stayed in both. Although the lobby at WL is fantastic, the rooms are rather small. The rooms at GF are larger and much more elegantly furnished. So, I would stay GF -- especially since it's one stop on the monorail to get to MK. Couldn't be easier. The monorail to Epcot is fine, too.
The only thing that might sway me to stay WL over GF is if I could afford club level at WL. Club level is nice and we really enjoy the convenience of breakfast, snacks, beer and wine and appetizers in the evening.
As for ambience at GF, it's very, very nice. I don't find it stuffy at all. But, then, Yacht Club is our very favorite hotel on WDW property and we don't find that stuffy either. Perhaps it's us? Maybe we're stuffy? Who knows?
We like the pools at GF and the beach. The pools at GF are better than the pool at WL, which is rather small for the size of the resort. Dining options are better at GF because it has good restaurants plus you have the convenience of the monorail to go to other hotels for meals.
I'd go with GF unless I could afford WL Club Level and couldn't afford GF Club Level.
Enjoy your honeymoon!

Skandera says she won't campaign on own behalf for confirmation
Hanna Skandera needs the votes of 21 state senators to remain in charge of New Mexico's Public Education Department, but she says she will not spend a minute campaigning.
"I don't consider my job to be politicking," she said in an interview Wednesday.
Skandera has run the education department since Republican Gov. Susana Martinez appointed her in January 2011. But the Democrat-controlled state Senate still has not voted on whether to confirm Skandera or fire her.
Sen. Linda Lopez, right, D-Albuquerque, said she would finally hold a vote on Skandera early next year in her Senate Rules Committee. After the committee vote, the full Senate would consider Skandera's nomination.
Skandera would keep her job if at least 21 of the 42 senators supported her. A 21-21 tie would mean Republican Lt. Gov. John Sanchez would break the deadlock. Sanchez would put Skandera over the top.
Democrats have a 25-17 advantage in the Senate. If Skandera received the votes of all the Republicans, which is likely, she would need support from four Democrats to be confirmed.
Skandera said she would not attempt to line up votes in the two months before the legislative session starts.
"I'm going to approach everything the same way, do my job and stay focused on helping kids," she said.
Skandera, 39, has never been a teacher or a principal. She worked in state education departments in California and Florida before Martinez selected her for New Mexico's top job in public education.
Lopez, who is running for governor, actually started Skandera's confirmation hearing last winter. Lopez accepted 10 hours of testimony across three days before stopping the process without a vote.
After a recess of 10 months, Lopez has promised to resume the hearing and hold a vote on Skandera during the 30-day legislative session that begins Jan. 21.
More than 150 people testified last winter that Skandera should not be confirmed. About as many supported her.
A handful of Republicans in the House of Representatives even attended the Senate hearing to speak up for Skandera.
Skandera's lack of experience in schools was the primary criticism leveled against her.
Most senators have not revealed how they would vote on Skandera. An exception is Democratic Sen. Bill Soules, a high school teacher from Las Cruces. He said he would vote against Skandera because she was bad for schools and kids.
During a legislative hearing on education finances earlier this week, Skandera received a mix of praise and criticism, all of it along party lines.
Rep. Don Tripp, R-Socorro, told Skandera he appreciated her work and said she was doing a good job.
In contrast, Democrats criticized her for being political in matters of education policy.
Sen. Howie Morales said Skandera had implemented teacher evaluation policies tied to standardized tests and pushed for teacher merit pay without bringing those ideas before interim legislative committees. Morales, D-Silver City, also is running for governor.
Skandera said she believed existing law permitted her to start a new evaluation system. She said she would not say more than that because Morales was among a group of legislators that had sued her over teacher evaluations.
Rep. Luciano "Lucky" Varela, D-Santa Fe, said he hoped that Skandera and Martinez would try to achieve consensus with legislators on important policy matters.
"As headstrong as you are, and as headstrong as we are, we have to come together," Varela said.
If Lopez can get 22 votes against Skandera in the Senate, there will be no coming together.
