Soarin from Scotland to Mickey ;-D ~ June 2009
With New Year and Christmas over and back to work and school my thoughts are now turning seriously to our upcoming trip to WDW. This is a bit of a bonus trip. We last visited in June last year with the plan to return in 2011. However due to a sudden rush of blood to the head DH booked us flights for this summer and my Mum decided to come too! Did not want to believe him at first as I thought it was all a bit of a sick joke on his part! We had such a fabulous trip last year that we thought we could not last 3 years between visits!
So back to planning with a few big differences from the last time.
Maybe I should do a little bit of a catch up on who we all are!
Me, Laura 32 (soon to be 33) a rep for a Drugs company (for the moment but will go into that later). Complete Disney-aholic since early childhood. I have been visiting WDW since I was a child and have had a short visit to DL aswell. There is something about a holiday in Disney which nothing compares to. Magic Kingdom is my heaven!
DH, 33 converted Disney lover! Still not great at seeing the magic straight away but definitely coming round. Loves the thrill rides and gets a real kick out of seeing our girls enjoy their time there. Loves Goofy and is also quite fond of Ariel but I think that it is more to do with her bikini top than her movie!!!
DD7 my eldest princess. Growing old too fast but already a Disney addict. This will be her 3rd trip to WDW and she loves it there. Last time became a pin trading fan and this year has plans to search out Hidden Mickeys! Santa brought her some assorted pins to trade so she is excited about that. She is a typical 7 year old. Loves HSM, Hannah and Wizards, make up, music, riding her bike and has a passion for reading and drawing. She has huge personality and a great sense of humour but is also very sensitive and soft centred. A wee love.
DD2 my littlelest pincess. This will be my babys 2nd visit to WDW and is already planning to ride the Carousel and Its a Small World continuously for 2 weeks! She is a complete character who even at 2 has the 3 of us rolling with laughter round the dinner table. She does however have the standard terrible twos behaviour which manifests itself in a bit of foot stamping and scowling. By the time we go she will be 3 so we are hoping that has passed. Different from her sister though she is shy and not confident with people she doesnt know and holds back from doing new things. Is Princess mad and loves dressing up as cinderelly, wearing her dress up princess shoes and generally being very girly. She is very loving and gives great cuddles.
Granny 59 (not allowed to mention the number 60 in her company!). My Mum is my bestest pal and also loves Disney. She is the person who is responsible for taking me there as a child and instilling a love of stories, make believe and wishes in me that I am very thankful for. She loves her Grand daughters and she cannot imagine missing out on sharing a Disney trip with them. They have a very close relationship and love their Granny to bits. She is a very fit and young 59 year old and is the one often in the lead as we tour the parks!
So thats the team. If you read my last trip report you will notice that someone is missing. My Dad will not be coming this year at least not at this point. We shall see if that changes before we go. Who knows
We all live in Central Scotland so trips to WDW are a serious trek for us. We are flying to Gatwick London on the 23rd of June staying overnight then flying BA to Orlando on the 24th. We then have 15 days in WDW before we fly home on the evening of the 9th July arriving in London in the morning of the 10th then straight back up to Edinburgh.
So our dates for our trip are really the 24th June to the 9th July.
We have booked to stay offsite at Windsor Hills resort in a 3 bedroom townhouse. We did consider for this trip staying onsite as we have not done that before but the cost difference was so much as we are staying for 15 days. The house looks lovely so I am really looking forward to it. We have a little splash pool at the back and there is a huge swimming pool onsite to enjoy. It will take us about 10 mins to get to the MK car park so its nice and close.
We have booked an SUV for the duration of our trip which should be fun to drive. We usually have a 7 seater but as there is less of us this year we thought we would try something different.
So thats the general thoughts on where we stand.
Next I will start the other half of my pre-trippie! The new Disney me!!!...............
Excited for Florida June/July 2015

Just realised I did not put an a pic of us. So here it is - from the Opening Ceremony at the MK on our first morning of our last trip!
OK so the other part to this pre-trippie is the new me. Now I know I am not really overweight but I was looking at some photos of me pre-kiddies! Not a good idea! I was in a bikini and I looked very different! So I decided that although I have no chance of looking exactly like that again I can make a huge difference to my body shape in the time until I go on holiday. I would like to lose a stone which is the most I should lose to stay healthy, and I would like to tone up and most importantly get fitter.
Now I hate the gym so boring! So I have decided to try to do a bit of running. Now if you ever seen me run you would be rolling about laughing right now as I do run like a idiot. Legs everywhere! Hence I cant run very far. Not much energy is spent going forwards!!!! But I am going to do it nevertheless.
The other night I went out for a very fast walk as I need to build up to running. I was going as fast as I could without running. It was freezing though. The ground was very frosty and in places a bit slippy which was a worry. It was also completely dark so I had to stay on the housing areas since I was on my own. I enjoyed it though. The gorund was sparkling as I was walking along so that did kind of remind me of why I was doing it. So thats the start of the effort. We shall see how it goes. At least if I have written it down here then I will have the pressure to keep it up till I go.
But I will be fit and slim for my trip promise!!!!!!
The other big change since last year is with my job (pharmaceutical sales). My company went through a restructure in 2008 and it resulted in many redundancies being made. Now to be honest I have not been happy in my job for ages and have always had the ambition to be a primary teacher. I made the decision to take redundancy and apply to university to do the 1 year post grad course. The redundancy payment would help to cover the year I would be studying. So decision made.
Then I was offered which was really my old job as a locum cover as the girl who was going to be doing it was on maternity leave. I still get my payment but am still working in my job and being paid for it! I have gone part time to 4 days so I can do voluntary work in 2 schhols one day a week to help my application. So its all good.
I got word today that I have got an interview for University so I am a bit nervous about that but I have all the info that I need to learn so keep your fingers crossed for me. Its been 10 years since I finished my first degree from St Andrews Uni so it will be a shock to my system to get back into it.
So really it could be a really big year for me (or not if I dont get in!!!!). We shall wait and see what happens in due course.
The other big news for 2009 is that my brother and sister-in-law are due to have their first baby on the 16th June 8 days before we are due to go to the US. I am so pleased for them and so excited to have a new baby in the family. And just think of the shopping I will be able to do for the baby when I am over there!
So between now and our trip there are so many things going on. And of course so many plans to be made!!!!!!!
Back to Disney!
We have decided this year to buy 14 day Ultimate tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids and 1 adult annual pass. As we will have to pay for parking and with the discounts it is worth our while to get the annual pass. Ultimate tickets are great as they are very inexpensive and last for 14 days we get all parks, water parks and park hopping included. So that is our first job to do.
As for meals we cant do that till 90 days before so plenty of time to sort that out. We plan to do Chef Mickeys for breakfast as that is a favourite and also the Crystal palace for dinner on our last night as we really enjoyed that last time we were there. Mum has not been to the Crystal Palace so she is looking forward to that. The girls are keen to do the princess breakfast at the Castle as they loved it last time and Katie really is Cinderella daft. I know it is over rated and the food is average at best but there is something about eating and seeing the princesses inside the castle it is a bit special. I might speak to them about the Norway Breakfast it might be a good alternative. Any views on that choice would be good to hear.
The only other things I MUST eat are soft pretzels! I discovered the joys of soft pretzels last trip and I was hooked. We dont get anything like them here so I shall make sure I eat enough to last me a good while. (see why I need to lose weight in advance!!!!!!!). Also Granny loves the Apple Charlottes from the Main Street Bakery so that will be a definite stop!
By next time should have got our spending money changed. Exchange rate is terrible so think we will do it before it gets any worse.
And hopefully I will have done some running. (not if the torrential rain we had today continues .!)
Excited for Florida June/July 2015

Oh! So excited to see you are going back too. We are going to be there the week before you go.
Good job on the working out. I too took a long hard look at our pics from last year and decided I needed to do something. Sadly, I have belonged to the YMCA for a year and barely used it other than for the children. So right after Thanksgiving I told DH..."That's it...I have to do something! I feel terrible!" So, now I am up to walking 3 miles a day and lifting weights for 30 minutes every other day. I do feel much better and have already dropped one dress size! So, this year the mouse will see less of you and me!
Can't wait to hear more about your trip!

Hi Laura! I saw your title and that you were from Scotland and that alone suckered me in. I hope to one day make it to your beautiful home (well, not your actual house - just the area you live ).
What an awesome husband you have! So exciting to think you're not going back for a few years and have this trip sprung on you. How wonderful.
We stayed at Windsor Hills last time and LOVED it! I haven't read your other TR so I'm not sure if you've stayed there before. If you haven't and have any questions, feel free to ask.
I'm also hoping to lose some weight before our upcoming trip.
Can't wait to read more!

Didn't realise you are going back so soon. Have you started a pre trippie - I enjoyed your trip report from this year! Go on.... you know you want to. I loved the clothes you made so would love to see what you have in plans for this trip!
Thanks for reading too! I know I have a while to go but its hard not to get excited!
We have never stayed at Windsor Hills before so any information would be great. It looks lovely but sometimes you are never sure till you actually get there.

I have heard nothing but good things about Windsor Hills. We loved having all of that extra space and the splash pool was a HUGE hit for us. The drive to and from Disney was very easy and not stressful at all (hardly any traffic to deal with). We would have stayed there again on our upcoming trip except that military is being offered some great deals and we're going to get to stay on property for less.
We never made it to the pool at WH. We enjoyed our own splash pool so much that we didn't need it! My TR also has pictures of the great playground they have there.
Let me know if there are any specific questions you have.

See there is a whole sickness that comes with sewing customs....planning becomes more of a nightmare...I have to have the exact outfit to match the day in the right park...and I have to have all three of the kids all match in some way! No..I really do enjoy it. And I *think* my skills have improved since last year so they outfits for them are a little more involved.
I thought about doing a pre-trip, but I'm not sure I want to commit! I keep changing my mind enough as it is! Not sure I need other people giving input on what to change!
I can't believe it gets dark by 4 there! That would drive me mad! The earliest it really ever gets dark here is around 7:30 in the winter. And that is way too early for me! I like lots of sun light!
Hope the weather clears soon and you can get back out!

Dark nights are a pain but dusk it getting later already and in the summer it can be 10.30/11pm before it is truely dark so we can it good in the summer. (well its daylight - the sun actually shining through the clouds is somethign totally different!!!!!!)
We are also debating changing our money as I am worried the exchange rate gets worse. Last year we got $2 to the £ and right now they are offering $1.42 to the £. Makes things a lot more expensive when you are there. The web forcast looks like it might increase slightly but not sure how much you can bank on that.
Where are you in Scotland?

As promised got this sent to me and it made me laugh!!!!
Twas The Month after Christmas
Twas the month after Christmas,
and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled,
the chocolate I'd taste
At the holiday parties
had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales
there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber),
I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a winter, disguised as a man!"
So, away with the last of the sour cream dip.
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.

The mornings were chilly the first half of the week, but it got plenty warm later in the day. We don't do well in the heat/sun so we much prefer to go during cooler months.

How to Say Hello in Polish
If you found yourself in Poland or are in the company of a Pole and wanted to say hello, simply saying "Hi" or "Hello" may be enough to get your greeting across, as many Poles know and understand English. However, if you wish to greet in their native language, here are a few ways to do so.
1To say "Hello" in Polish, say "Cześć." This is pronounced as "chest." Czesc may also be used to say "Bye." This is the most common way of saying hello in Polish, however, non-Poles may find it difficult to pronounce.Ad
2To say "Hi" or "Hey" informally, say "Hej." This is simply pronounced as how "Hey" is said in the English language.
3To say "Good morning" or "good afternoon" say "Dzień dobry." This is pronounced as "Djane DOH-brayh." This literally translates to "Good day" and is also the more formal way to say "Hello."
4To say "Good evening" say "Dobry wieczór." This is pronounced as "DOH-brayh VEE-choorh."
5To say "How are you?" say "Jak się masz?" This is pronounced as "Yahk syeh mash." This is a way of saying how are you?"
6Another more formal way to say "Hello" is to say "Witam." This is pronounced as "VY-tam," and also means "Welcome."Ad
We could really use your help!
car stereos?
product development?
Adobe Photoshop?
- When speaking with people you do not know very well or people who hold high degrees, it might be best to use "Dzien dobry" as a greeting. Use the more informal "Czesc" when speaking with people you are already familiar with, or children.
- Practice the pronunciation of the Polish words, since some of them may seem difficult to pronounce at first. Listen to the correct pronunciation of some of the words [1] here.

In common with other Southwest states, most state parks in New Mexico contain an artificial lake, and are popular for camping, fishing and boating rather than hiking or the beauty of the natural landscapes, but there are several more scenic and unusual locations - principally Bottomless Lakes, Cimarron Canyon, City of Rocks, Oliver Lee Memorial, Rock Hound, Sugarite Canyon and Villanueva.

lAKE CHARLES WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO WIRE FRAUD
LAFAYETTE, La. – United States Attorney Stephanie A. Finley announced today that Carol A. Thrasher, 60, of Lake Charles, La., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Richard T. Haik to wire fraud.
According to evidence presented at the guilty plea, Thrasher admitted that from January 2007 to April 2012, while working as a manager for a Westlake, La., company, she stole $551,357. She had access to her company's Midsouth Bank account and used funds from it to pay the balance of a personal Capital One credit card numerous times over the five-year period. The credit card payments Thrasher made ranged from a few hundred dollars to more than $8,000. She reportedly used the Capital One card to pay for the majority of her living expenses, and she also stated that she spent the money on gambling, shopping, dining and vacations.
Thrasher faces up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and restitution for the wire fraud count. A sentencing date was not set.
The U.S. Secret Service conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Myers P. Namie is prosecuting the case.

The original version of Superman's origin had him becoming a superhero when full grown. However, in 1945 DC introduced Superboy as an addition to Superman's backstory, retconning in prequels and earlier meetings with DC characters.At the start of the Silver Age, one story, in Adventure Comics #247 (April, 1958), introduced the "Legion of Super Heroes", a trio of super-powered teenagers from the future who committed many acts of Super Dickery while initiating Superboy into their club — with the best of intentions, really. The trio became popular enough to be seen again, as Superboy began traveling in time to team up with them, and the other new members they'd recruited.The Legion gradually became more prominent in Adventure Comics (which at the time was a second Superboy book) and took over as the main feature with issue #300 (September, 1962), reducing Superboy to supporting character status on what used to be his comic book. They are remembered for their wide-eyed idealism, not to mention corny touches — their clubhouse was designed to look like a crashed rocket. How they all fit inside was never explained. However, their series was surprisingly sophisticated for the Silver Age; with one of the earliest comic book characters Killed Off for Real in Ferro Lad (and, for that matter, one of the earliest comic book resurrections with Lightning Lad), a trial for a Legionnaire killing in self-defense, and dealing with Fantastic Racism even before Star Trek did.To become a member, you had to demonstrate at least one superpower not dependent on devices. Thus, telepathy, Saturn Girl; electricity powers, Lightning Lad; magnetic powers, Cosmic Boy, and so on. Applicants with ridiculous powers (and some members of the Legion proper had pretty ridiculous powers) were consigned to the Legion of Substitute Heroes, who included Chlorophyll Kid (ability to make plants grow really fast), Stone Boy (ability to turn into an inanimate statue), Color Kid (ability to... change the color of things), and Double Header (whose name speaks for itself).At the end of the Silver Age, the Legion's slot was swapped with Supergirl, leaving Supergirl as star of Adventure Comics and the Legion as a backup in Action Comics. After the retirement of editor Mort Weisinger, the Legion was reduced to an occasional backup in Superboy. Dave Cockrum, who would go on to design many members of the Bronze Age incarnation of the X-Men, became the Legion's regular artist, and started redefining their look. With this, their popularity started to inch upwards again, and eventually, Superboy became Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes.This incarnation used plenty of the Soap Opera-style storytelling that was popular in the days of X-Men and Teen Titans, but kept on a level of solid yet unexciting sales, even after they booted Superboy out of his own book. This changed in the early '80s, with the Paul Levitz/Keith Giffen Legion. Classic stories like "The Great Darkness Saga" appeared during this run, but it was interrupted halfway through by the Crisis on Infinite Earths.Since the entire premise of the Legion was centered around Superboy, and Superboy no longer existed in the Post-Crisis universe, the history and continuity of the series didn't work any more. DC's initial patch was to say that, during the Crisis, one of the Legion's foes, the Time Trapper, had created a pocket dimension containing an Earth where there was a Superboy. However, this issue kept coming up over time, with more and more patches needed just to keep things together.Eventually, Keith Giffen took over the book, along with fans-turned-writers Tom and Mary Bierbaum, and the series really jumped into the Dark Age with the "Five Years Later" Time Skip. Earth is ruled by alien invaders. One character was retconned into an Applied Phlebotinum transsexual, and another into a shapeshifter who only thought he was the character. The Legion are actually clones — unless the other, younger Legion (Batch SW6) that were discovered in People Jars are the clones, as one might think at first. The moon was destroyed, followed by the Earth itself.Eventually, a combination of continuity issues and low sales brought DC to the point where they said "screw it" and decided to reboot the series altogether. In 1995, as part of the Zero Hour Crisis Crossover, Mark Waid and Tom McCraw wrote the first issue of an all-new all-different Legion. Some of the sillier characters were pruned, and others were introduced to fill the gaps. This incarnation of the Legion was a youth corps run by The Federation, which was just forming as the series began, to symbolize its member worlds and species working together. (Although they were frequently dismissed as either a publicity stunt or a "teenage death squad".) This version sidestepped the Superboy issue by being inspired by the 20th century's age of heroes in general (although the Post-Crisis Superboy did become a member). The new version attempted to distill all of the Legion's history to date, while adding its own twists — some of which didn't work that well (Sneckie) Still, this version lasted until 2004 with a few writer changes and ReTools; then, they were wiped out (or at least detached from the main line of DCU history) during the build up to the Infinite Crisis Crisis Crossover, and replaced with a third version — the "threeboot" Legion.This version, also introduced by Mark Waid, brought back many of the more idealistic elements, including the Something Person names, while going for a more complex universe. In this incarnation, the Legion are firebrands and muckrakers in a future where those under 18 are almost entirely controlled by their parents and a paternalistic government; although only a chosen few are given flight rings (which are ridiculously expensive), anyone who follows their ideals is considered a Legionnaire. It also added twists to many of the characters; for instance, in this version, Colossal Boy is a member of a race of giants whose super-power is to shrink to six feet tall. (He prefers to be called Micro Lad.) Their inspiration this time is legends of superheroics as preserved in old comic books. Supergirl joined up about a year and a half into the series, having apparently made the trip during the "One Year Gap" in her own title (all DC books jumped forward a year after Infinite Crisis), and been given Laser-Guided Amnesia before she was sent back. On the other hand, the political aspects ("Eat it, Grandpa!") wore thin for some readers. This version lasted until 2009, when, despite fan favorite Jim Shooter taking over writing duties, it was unceremoniously cancelled with a rushed final issue written by "Justin Thyme".Recent stories post-Infinite Crisis have reintroduced The Multiverse and restored the original Legion, including Superman's past with them. This version first (re)appeared in the "Lightning Saga" Bat Family Crossover between Justice League of America and Justice Society of America and is the one currently appearing in DC Comics. As part of Final Crisis, Geoff Johns wrote a miniseries called "The Legion of Three Worlds" which dealt with all three versions (original, Zero Hour, and threeboot) of the Legion.From 2006 to 2008, an Animated Adaptation came along, taking the most iconic versions of all involved (but taking even more inspiration from the DCAU, despite, judging by Brainiac 5's being an android, not being in continuity with it.) See Here for that series.There is a character sheet.The comic book series starring the Legion (not counting oneshot issues like the Legion's origin) are:
The Legion's stories provide examples of:

Your 2012 BCS Bowl Games, in Five Minutes
Everything you need to know and nothing you don't from ESPN's best sideline reporter and Esquire.com's season-long guest college-football expert. Also: draft picks.
By Jenn Brown
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
January 2, 5 p.m.
I've always been a big fan of Badgers QB Russell Wilson, and Montee Ball's just gotten after it with their ground game. Those two coupled with head coach Bret Bielema's big boys on the offensive line make it pretty hard not to give this one to Wisconsin. LaMichael James has obviously done some ridiculous things for Oregon, and I've seen them up close this year (team glasses and all), but they just don't seem to be quite the team they were earlier in the season.
Draft Pick to Watch /// Peter Konz, Center, Wisconsin. He's back from injury, so he should be able to show off how good this system is for the pro careers of offensive lineman.

Alessi. Art and Poetry.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto AlessiView other products from Alessi

Indian court agrees to hear 'offensive' Australian swimwear case
Last Updated:
A court in India has agreed to hear criminal proceedings over an Australian brand of swimwear bearing the image of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi.
The suit was filed by lawyers in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh after photographs of the swimwear were published in a Hindi daily.
The photographs from a fashion show in Sydney last week triggered protests by Hindu groups who took to the streets burning Australian flags.
The Byron Bay-based company has put out a statement promising to halt production immediately and apologising for any offence the design may have caused.
Brett Galvin from Lisa Blue swimwear says it was an honest mistake.
"The designer really wanted to celebrate the culture of India and to bring that to the people and just absolutely adores the image," he said.
"Obviously she sees that's quite wrong now."

Tuesday, October 02 09:52:03
Scientists at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand, have created a genetically modified (GM) cow that produces milk with low levels of a protein known to cause allergic reactions in a significant proportion of children. The researchers believe it could one day lead to the sale of "hypoallergenic" milk from herds of GM cows. The calf had been cloned and genetically engineered with an extra piece of genetic material that switched off its natural gene for producing a milk protein called beta-lactoglobulin, which is not present in human milk and causes allergies in some young children.
Tests on the cow's milk showed that it contained less than 2 per cent of normal levels of beta-lactoglobulin and was far richer than usual in other kinds of milk proteins, such as the caseins used in cheese-making. The researchers also believe the GM cow's milk will also contain higher concentrations of calcium than ordinary milk. The cow, however, was born without a tail which is a rare congenital abnormality. The scientists believe this was a result of the cloning process, similar to that used to create Dolly the cloned sheep, rather than the GM technique used to eliminate the milk protein.
The dairy industry produces hypoallergenic milk formulas by removing certain bovine proteins with the help of digestive enzymes but the industrial-scale processing is expensive, causes the milk to taste bitter and does not always remove the offending allergens, the scientists said.

On February 4, 2009, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) released Guidance on Monitoring Internal Control Systems. A four-page introduction is available free of charge on COSO's website at www.coso.org/GuidanceonMonitoring.htm and the full guidance is available for purchase.
Although many organizations have effective monitoring, they often do not take full advantage of the information provided. In other cases, an organization's routine monitoring is not as effective as it could be, resulting in additional testing at or near year end. In both cases, an improved approach to effective monitoring implementation can enhance the effectiveness of internal control systems.
Developed by COSO and led by a diverse Grant Thornton LLP team, the guidance is designed to help organizations identify and maximize effective internal controls monitoring and take timely corrective actions as needed. The new guidance is designed to help practitioners understand that effective monitoring is both risk-based and principles-based. The guidance consists of three volumes: Guidance, Application, and Examples, and is available in print and electronic formats.
As one of COSO's founding organizations, along with the American Accounting Association (AAA), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Financial Executives International (FEI), and the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), COSO's Guidance on Monitoring Internal Control Systems is available for purchase at a discounted rate for IMA members.

If you're involved in an accident hurt because of someone else's negligence, you probably want that person to pay your medical bills. But there may be a part of you that feels bad because you know that person can't afford to pay your bills. Personal Injury Lawyer David Greene tells Cherish Lombard this is why it's important to have insurance.
He says some people are afraid if they hire a lawyer, the'll financially ruin somebody else's life. But the majority of the time, the person who caused the accident has insurance. He says when you hire a personal injury lawyer to recover money, the money they're going after is from the insurance company that has a legal obligation to pay for it.
Greene says sometimes a lawyer may be able to reach a settlement with the other driver's insurance company pretty quickly, and the case may never have to go to court. If the insurance company doesn't pay, the victim would have to sue the driver at fault.
If the case goes to trial in Alabama, the jury isn't allowed to know if either driver has insurance. Greene says your attorney can give you that and other important information, as well as advise you of any time limits you have to file and he or she will know the best way to handle any possible defenses raised by the other side.
If you think you have a case and you would ike to talk with any of the personal lawyers at Greene and Phillips, please call 251-300-2000.

San Diego Whale Watching Cruise and Maritime Museum Entry
- Details
- Reviews
When boarding the 139ft luxury sailing schooner America you'll be taking a step back into history. Sailing's prestigious America's Cup is named after the vessel which raced from 1851 - 1945. Receiving a $6 million rebuild in 1995, the luxury schooner owned by Dennis Conner is now ready for you to get on board for a relaxing half-day cruise.
With the wind in the sails you'll cruise effortlessly on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego in search of migrating gray whales and playful pods of dolphins. With no noisy diesel engine, the boat can get up close to the marine wildlife giving you unbeatable photo opportunities. With low sweeping decks offering fantastic uninterrupted views and a deep keel for stability, the America offers whale-watching at its best.
Snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic) are offered during the cruise, however you are welcome to bring along a picnic lunch or favorite bottle of wine to enjoy on the expansive decks.
In addition to whale sighting guarantee, the America gives a unique 'No Seasickness' guarantee. Should seasickness spoil your day the crew will invite you back to sail free of charge on another day, or issue you with a gift certificate for lunch at the famous San Diego Fish Market. With no diesel engine fumes and a gentle sailing pace, the crew are confident this cruise will be gentle on your stomach.
To complete this great value for money package, you get admission to San Diego Maritime Museum. The museum has one of the world's finest collections of historic ships, including the world's oldest active ship Star of India. You can visit San Diego Maritime Museum before or after the cruise, the choice is yours (must be on the same day as your cruise).

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Heather B, April 2014
This was a wonderful trip. The passenger numbers were below capacity so there was more room for us all and we had a great day on the water. We did see a whale and calf but, given that it was at the end of the season, everyone was satisfied with that. There were also dolphins and seals so it was well worth the effort. Crew members were helpful, informative and interacted well with the passengers. This was a very enjoyalbe day and is to be recommended. Well done!
Reviewed by: Barbara S T, April 2014
It was amazing to be on a schooner, sailing out on the Pacific! The passengers helped raise the sails as we got underway and we covered our ears as the horn blasted out the start of our adventure. As we cleared Point Loma we hit open water and it was exhilarating to be racing on the waves and feeling the wind and salt spray as the search for whales began. We did see whales, following them for 30-45 minutes,an unforgettable experience!! The captain and crew were excellent,mindful of our safety and comfort, but also encouraging all of us to enjoy this once in-a-lifetime outing! The kids on board got special attention from Captain Al as he explained a lot of the history of whaling and sailing. As we said goodbye to the whales, the crew opened up the last sail and we winged back San Diego, passing the schooner Californian with a cheer! Lots to see in the San Diego harbor, from the Navy warships and submarines, to a glimpse of the USA 11 . As we pulled up to the dock, all aboard agreed that it was a memorable experience, thanks to the crew and captain, and of course, the whales!!!

Vehicles currently registered, or first sold in states where salt is used to de-ice the roads, are being recalled because a metal plate which helps secure the spare tire may rust excessively and break. This rust condition is a result of an insufficient coating of anti-corrosion material during the manufacturing process. If the plate were to break, the spare tire would come loose and fall from the vehicle while driving. Toyota is currently developing a remedy for this recall and will notify owners of affected vehicles when the remedy is in place. This is expected during December of 2012.

Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) Command Region fighters will be protecting the skies during the G-8 Summit at Camp David, MD. Air Force fighter jets will be on alert during the event May 18-19 enforcing the FAA's Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zone during the summit.
Lt. Gen. Sid Clarke, Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR) commander, explained how the Continental U.S. NORAD Region provides air defense for the protection of the continental United States, to include special events such as this year's G-8 Summit.
"CONR is charged with defending the airspace over the continental United States every minute of the day, and we routinely provide enhanced air defense at special events like this year's G-8 Summit," General Clarke said. "Pilots in the Camp David area are used to seeing Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) zones over Camp David, but what makes the G-8 Summit a little different is that the Federal Aviation Administration's TFR is larger than normal. It's very important that the general aviation community remember to check their Notice to Airmen and fly informed!"
In preparation for the G-8 Summit, the FAA will be imposing a TFR over Camp David. All aviators are advised to check the Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS) as required with a special focus on TFRs. The (TFR) is much larger than usual – 60 nautical miles in diameter instead of 20 nm.
Since the September 11 attacks, the prohibited area over Camp David known as P-40 has normally expanded from 3 nm radius to 10 when the President is in residence there, with the inner 5 nm radius a no-fly zone, and the outer ring from 5 nm to 10 nm – a so-called "squawk-and-talk" area where pilots must be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan, be in positive radio contact with air traffic control (ATC), and use a discrete, ATC-assigned transponder code.
For the G-8 Summit, however, the TFR will be as large as it is when the President travels anywhere else in the country – a 10 nm-radius no-fly zone with an outer "squawk-and-talk" ring from 10 nm to 30 nm The affected airspace will reach nearly halfway south through the Leesburg Maneuvering Area and will impact instrument approaches into Leesburg Executive Airport, Frederick Municipal Airport, and Montgomery County Airpark (Gaithersburg).
The Continental U.S. NORAD Region has enforced TFR's throughout the United States since the beginning of Operation Noble Eagle, the command's response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. CONR activities will have minimal impact on aircraft in the area and are not in response to any specific threat.

Well, it's been almost a month. I'm still slugging away at the album, but these songs are seriously kicking some ass!
Let me backtrack a bit. A month ago, I was recovering from a f'ed up hand. It was slowly getting better, but the knuckles for my pinky and ring finger were starting to get cramped and stiff. For some reason, I decided to grab the 2 fingers and lightly pull. They pulled out about ¼"! That was a little scary for a minute, I thought I'd pulled them off! They instantly started to feel better, and have been fine ever since. I guess they just needed realigning.
As for the record, I just finished the guitar tracks on the weekend.
I tried a new routine this time. Normally I'll record in this order:
1. drum programming
2. bass guitar
3. acoustic guitars as a foundation
4. electric guitars
5. keyboards, pianos, synthesizers
6. vocals
This time I switched it up a little. I recorded all the electric guitars first, then added the acoustic guitars. I wouldn't have thought it would make a difference, but it really has. Instead of having a fat acoustic bulking each song, they've become more of just an accent on some tracks. Sure, some have a driving acoustic rhythm behind them, but on others it's just a chord here and there or a subtle riff. On a few of the songs it's really changed the feel. I also did most of the synths and keyboards before the acoustics. I'm really loving these tracks. It's not unusual to find me rocking out these days with the speakers blasting!
Next up: Vocals. I haven't done any real singing in over a year, except for the live stuff with The Boys From County Hell. And for the live shows I usually can't hear myself and just shout while hoping I'm getting close to the right notes.
I have notes from my signing lessons, and am going to spend a few weeks going through those and rebuilding my vocal chords. Like an athlete's muscles, they get flabby and weak if you don't practice and keep them in shape. Once my throat is buff again, I'll be ready to step up to the microphone.
I'm getting close!
