Aeterna Zentaris Granted Special Protocol Assessment By The FDA For Phase 3 Registration Trial In Endometrial Cancer With AEZS-108
About Endometrial Cancer Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy and develops when abnormal cells amass to form a tumor in the lining of the uterus. It largely affects women over the age of 50 with a higher prevalence in Caucasians and a higher mortality rate among African Americans. Approximately one in 30 women is diagnosed with endometrial cancer every year. According to the American Cancer Society, 47,130 new cases of endometrial are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2012, and Data Monitor expects 35,600 new cases in EU-G5 in 2013, with about 20% recurrent disease.

PHP/MySQL/Apache2/ISPConfig configuration issues?

Thank you for looking at this problem. Unfortunately these changes did not fix my problem. I may not have stated it correctly, although it does appear to be in the php.ini configuration files. I tired to shotgun this problem and frankly I have confused myself. Let me regroup. The application is designed to upload a tab delimited file, and then move the file to a known directory where it will be used to recreate a database table. In order to accomplish this I use the following code snippets (see example code). This code allowed me to upload the file to the phptmp directory, but not move it to another directory (my first problem, see error message 1). I tried changing permissions on the target directory, but it still did not work. Trying to isolate the problem I changed the code to copy to a known file name within the phptmp directory. This worked, but them MySQL would not use the file as input to a load data command because of permissions (see error message 2). Also this is not the solution I wanted, because it did not save the file in a designated directory. Finally, I needed to change permissions for MySQL to work and inform the client of the status by listing his uploaded directory. I need to use some system commands to accomplish this task. I have attached output from a working example to demonstrate what I am trying to accomplish.
Questions: Where is the php.ini changed to make the local column different than the default column? How does this occur?
Is there any other documentation on php.ini file except in the examples of the default?
Example Code (snippets)
// to upload the file
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $myfile)) {
echo 'Problem: Could not move file to destination directory';
else {
echo $tab.$tab.'Problem: Possible file upload attack. Filename: ';
echo $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
//to create the database
$cmd = "chmod 0666 ".$myfile; // input file for database creation
echo "Loading ".$load.".txt
";
$mysql = db_nameconnect("Bacchus");
$query = "TRUNCATE ".$load;
$result = dbquery( $query, $mysql );
echo "myfile ".$myfile."
";
$query = "LOAD DATA INFILE '$myfile' INTO TABLE ".$load; // into database
$result = dbquery( $query, $mysql );
echo "Successfully loaded file in ".$myfile."
";
echo "to $load table in Bacchus database

";
Error message 1.
Problem: Could not move file to destination directory
output file = /home/web8/uploads/auth.txt
input file = /var/www/web8/phptmp/php0mYQNW
Error message 2.
MYSQL error was: The file '/var/www/web8/phptmp/auth.txt' must be in the database directory or be readable by all
Example working output:

"Don't Buy Where You Can't Work!"- Rev.Adam Clayton Powell Jr. The late great Congressman's words remain relevant to our position as people today. Rev. Adam Clayton Powell represented Harlem for twenty-five years and was a Black politician not afraid to be Black and didn't forget his roots when he was elected. The difference between politicians of yesteryear like Powell, Hiram Revels, Shirley Chisholm, John Mercer Langston and George Henry White is they were Black politicians that fought and labored on behalf of Black America. Why is it today that there are thousands of Black elected officials in every corner of the country, yet no clear agenda has been set forth for Black America? Why does every other tribe build businesses where they have a competitive advantage and fit into their place on the global stage whereas Black America still demonstrates,campaigns and marches for "Civil Rights"? Understand, "Civil" only applies to the laws set forth by the wealthy ruling class and if that so ...

Bonus Black History Facts - Shirley Chisholm attended Brooklyn College on a scholarship and then earned a master's degree in education from Columbia University. After becoming an expert on early childhood education, she worked as a consultant to New York City's Bureau of Child Welfare, from 1959 to 1964. In 1968, Chisholm became the first black woman to win a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1972, Chisholm declared her candidacy for the office of president of the United States; making her the first black and first woman to make this bid.
Black History Month reminded me of some courageous women upon whose shoulders we stand - Marian Anderson; Barbara Jordan; Shirley Chisholm; Carol Moseley Braun; Patricia Roberts Harris; Dorothy Height; Fannie Lou Hamer. Thanks to the National Women's History Museum, I can remember to be so grateful to them.
Shirley Chisholm and Dorothy Height are two of my favorite history makers
We had Shirley Chisholm in 1972. After that, there was Rev. Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988. Then we had the Rev. Al Sharpton in 2004. Three African-Americans ran for President, and none of them were elected. It seemed as if the promise "you can be whatever you want to be" was a lie to African-Americans…But all of that changed on a historical date. On Tuesday, November 4, 2008, during the 2008 USA Presidential elections, the United States of America nominated its first African-American President: President Barack Obama. Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is an alumni of Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard University. In 1996, he was elected to the Illinois Senate, and was reelected in 1998. In January 2003, Obama became chairman of the Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee, and he led a bipartisan passage of legislation by monitoring racial profiling; he required police to record the race of drivers they detained. Obama continued ...

From Fannie Lou Hammer to Shirley Chisholm to Barbara Jordan, to Condoleezza Rice Black women have played crucial roles in the history of black socio-political positioning on issues from women's suffrage to voting rights, to equal pay in the workforce. Yet with the increase in black college educated women and the change in many of the social constructs that historically worked to define the role Black women played in American politics, is the political posture of Black women changing?

WHAT YOU KNOW 'BOUT JESSE.!?!?! 1984 presidential campaign Main article: Jesse Jackson presidential campaign, 1984 On November 3, 1983, he announced his campaign for President of the United States in the 1984 election, becoming the second African American (after Shirley Chisholm) to mount a nationwide campaign for president. In the Democratic Party primaries, Jackson, who had been written off by pundits as a fringe candidate with little chance at winning the nomination, surprised many when he took third place behind SenatorGary Hart and former Vice President Walter Mondale, who eventually won the nomination. Jackson garnered 3,282,431 primary votes, or 18.2 percent of the total, in 1984, and won three to five primaries and caucuses, including Louisiana, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, and one of two separate contests in Mississippi. More Virginia caucus-goers supported Jesse Jackson than any other candidate, but Walter Mondale won more Virginia delegates. In May 1988, Jackson complained that he ...
Who would have guessed Shirley Chisholm would run for US President in 1972? Who would have known that in 2014 the US Postal Service would unveil a Shirley Chisholm stamp?

At the post office today I saw a picture of the new Shirley Chisholm stamp and thought is was "Aunt Esther" from Sanford and Son. (True) Don't know much about Shirley Chisholm, but Aunt Esther (the late LaWanda Page) has always been a favorite. Aunt Esther was a great character. Page and Redd Foxx grew up together and started their separate careers at about the same time. When Foxx asked to bring her in as one of the characers on "Sanford and Son" the network said no. Foxx said that he really thought she could add to the show. The network still said no. So Redd Foxx walked out and said they could do the show without him as well. The network immediately called LaWand and asked her if she'd be willing to join the cast on the Sandofd and Son show. R.I.P. Aunt Esther. (LaWanda Page)

This Day in Women's Political History: January 26, 1972 – NY Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm announces her candidacy for the U.S. Presidency.
Gloria Marie Steinem Steinem was born in Toledo, Ohio, on March 25, 1934. Her mother, Ruth (née Nuneviller), was a Presbyterian of Scottish and German descent, and her father, Leo Steinem, was a Jewish immigrants from Germany.

Have you ever heard the song, "We shall overcome?" In the year 1900, an African American, Charles Tindley, who was the pastor of a Methodist Episcopal Church, wrote a hymn called, "I'll Overcome Some Day." Some 60 odd years later, that hymn was the basis for the civil rights anthem, "We Shall Overcome." Today it still symbolizes the struggle for freedom - freedom from oppression, freedom from pain and suffering, freedom from everything in this world that attempts to pull us down and convince us that all hope is lost. The words speak of triumph over life's struggles, and they speaks of signs of the fulfillment of hope - people walking hand in hand, walking free, without fear, without being alone, we shall overcome. The chorus reads: Oh, deep in my heart I do believe We shall overcome some day Martin Luther King was the face and the voice of a movement that began many years before he was born. The quest to overcome, despite circumstances motivated slaves and slave leaders such as Nat Turner ...

*Walter Morris was born on this date in 1921. He was an African American Paratrooper and Brick Mason Supervisor. From Waynesboro, Ga., he was the youngest and only male of seven children. After high school graduation, he began an apprenticeship as a bricklayer, but he found construction work was sparse during the Depression. He joined the Army as a one-year volunteer in January 1941. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that December, Mr. Morris continued his Army service as a clerk. In 1943, he "washed out" of Infantry Officer Candidate School on the 12th week of a 13-week program. He was relegated to guarding the parachute school at Fort Benning, Ga., with fellow Black soldiers from 4 p.m., when the white paratrooper trainees left the field, until the students returned at 8 the next morning. At the time the morale of the African Americans was miserable. The post was largely segregated, including its movie theater and exchange. In 2013, he told the Daytona Times newspaper in Florida, "When we ...
My FB friends here are ten little known facts about how great we truly, truly are, and now I say good night. 1. Allensworth is the first all-black Californian township, founded and financed by African Americans. Created by Lieutenant Colonel Allen Allensworth in 1908, the town was built with the intention of establishing a self-sufficient city where African Americans could live their lives free of racial prejudice. 2. During the 1930s, painter Charles Alston founded the 306 group, which convened in his studio space and provided support and apprenticeship for African-American artists, including Langston Hughes; sculptor Augusta Savage; and mixed-media visionary Romare Bearden. 3. Scientist and mathematician Benjamin Banneker is credited with helping to design the blueprints for Washington, D.C. 4. In 1938, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt challenged the segregation rules at the Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama, so she could sit next to African-American educator and activist Mary McLe ...
My daughters are in the AKA's EYL program. Their February session will cover African American Women in Black History. Through their research, they have to prepare to display who they were given. Caia was given Josephine Baker and Cassidy was given Shirley Chisholm. WHAT A MATCH UP!!! Caia has a love for music/singing and Ms. Baker was not only a fierce dancer, she was a vocal artist as well. Caia is working on a special performance. Her gift is gracefully budding. Now.Cassidy and Shirley Chisholm.What more can I say. Mrs. Chisholm was known to be outspoken and making statements to shake and anger. If you know Cassidy, you know THAT IS Cassidy. I LOVE this EYL program and how it steers and shapes our young ladies.

You're the Man - Marvin Gaye [Unissued] [Mock Album Cover] "You're the Man" is a song composed by singer Marvin Gaye and songwriter Kenneth Stover and released on the Motown subsidiary, Tamla, in the summer of 1972. Composed primarily on the basis of the 1972 presidential election, the song was supposedly the first release from Gaye's next album, You're the Man, but the song's modest success forced Gaye to shelve the album in protest. History Recording In 1972, Gaye's success with the socially conscious album, What's Going On, helped in pressuring Motown to give the musician more creative autonomous control of his music, leading to a $1 million deal being offered by Motown, which made him for a time, the most lucrative R&B artist ever. Gaye responded by putting himself constantly in the studio working on a multitude of projects. One of the projects was another album focusing on social matters and further into politics, which was only hinted at in What's Going On. Gaye and his band, which consisted of memb ...

The History of Martin Luther King Day Who originated the idea of a national holiday in honor of MLK? It took 15 years to create the federal Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday. Congressman John Conyers, Democrat from Michigan, first introduced legislation for a commemorative holiday four days after King was assassinated in 1968. After the bill became stalled, petitions endorsing the holiday containing six million names were submitted to Congress. Conyers and Rep. Shirley Chisholm, Democrat of New York, resubmitted King holiday legislation each subsequent legislative session. Public pressure for the holiday mounted during the 1982 and 1983 civil rights marches in Washington. Congress passed the holiday legislation in 1983, which was then signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. A compromise moving the holiday from Jan. 15, King's birthday, which was considered too close to Christmas and New Year's, to the third Monday in January helped overcome opposition to the law. National Consensus on the Holiday A num ...
A Dime a Dozen "Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way." —BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, EDUCATOR There's so much talk about excellence today. Ours is a society obsessed with excellence. Are you striving to be your best? Are you committed to excellence or are you average? Though each of us is average in different areas of our lives, how great it is to be excellent! And make no mistake about it, we can all be excellent! Successful individuals like the famed educator Booker T. Washington encourage us to do our best. "Success may involve talent," explained the celebrated choreographer Alvin Ailey. "But excellence involves YOU." "If we are to move ahead as a people," warned former U.S. congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, "we must strive for the highest standards." Achievers know the difference between average and excellence. Excellence means standing up to life; living your life for a cause greater than yourself so future generations will know that YOU played a role. The successful a ...

I sent this not to our son's teacher. My problem with this is children have enough to deal without adding booty shaking to the menu.

I just finished watching The Butler and I started crying. I cried because I am apart of a legacy of black people that endured the enslavement, Jim Crow laws, Civil rights, and all subsequent presidencies leading to Barack Obama's nomination. I thought about John Lewis, MLK, members of the Black Panther Party, Fannie Lou Hamer, Malcom X, Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, Jesse Jackson Sr., Bayard Rustin, members of SCLC, members of SNCC, Amelia Boynton Robinson, Jimmie Lee Jackson, Spelman Class of 1964, Medgar Evers, Emmett Louis Till, and Eugene Allen (born July 14th, 1919-March 31st, 2010 born 1 week after my birthday) the real butler who worked for the White House for 34 years. It also made me think about my maternal grandfather John Herrod (died in 2005) and my grandmother Mary Herrod who is still living today. To know that movie was dedicated to our ancestors who fought during the civil rights movement is a true honor. RIP to Laura Ziskin (the film producer who died in 2011 of breast cancer) and Jame ...

Barron like I said was firm in opposing selection of Bratton as NYPD chief. Here is one comment he said "asking Bill Bratton to come back and stop racial profiling stop and frisk is like asking an arsonist to come back" yea he was firm on this. Barron reflects the kind of NYC politics I grew up with in NYC like former mayor John Lindsay and Shirley Chisholm. Barron was honest. Supporters of Bratton included former La mayor Villaraigosa, NY senator Charles Schumer, Ny governor Coumo, NYC politicians, academics and supporters of stop and frisk like former mayor Giulani. Bratton was firm in supporting stop and frisk 100% he was firm in it in his statements today. De Blasio is picking NYC insiders to run city hall. He picked a guy that I wrote about on term paper I did at cal state la on NYC as deputy mayor he was part of Ed Koch's team a NYC insider. he has nothing but NYC insiders and that is how selection of Bratton can be seen. So this is the "liberal" that pro liberal publications were promoting. yea De ...

I wanna take a moment to shot out my brotha Mike Will in the D for starting a convo not too long ago that turned to "12 Years a Slave" and major Hollywood slave movies in general. While I still stand by my point, it IS extremely important that we try to move beyond JUST seeing ourselves portrayed as slaves or just subservient figures on screen, because that's not the only part of our history. How about a major motion picture about Hannibal or Carthage, or about Nat Turner, or Toussaint L'Overture? What happened to the rumor of Chiwetel Ejoifor, the main character in "12 Years A Slave", portraying larger-than-life Nigerian musical icon Fela Anikulapo Kuti, and role he would be perfect for? Or biopics about powerful black women like Angela Davis and Shirley Chisholm? *** how come the biopics of Mandela and Cesar Chavez aren't getting more press? I'm just saying! Thoughts, my people??

Timeline Photos "Every time I get upset I go down and I read; I can understand when I read about Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman. And I say to myself, if those two little old Black women had to go through what they did, maybe I too, better try to be strong." -- Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005) By: Brown Girl Collective
"The fact is, the politician cannot deliver what he has promised. Because of the precariousness of the whole pattern and system of operating under a cloud of rivalry and the out-and-out ruthless competition going on between the 'ins' and 'out' all types of tactics are used to deal some destructive blows to the body politic. Thus, the public becomes damned because the politician is struggling to save his own hide by destroying the opposing party." ~ Shirley Chisholm (1974)
did Shirley Chisholm really say this??
I worked on Shirley Chisholm's campaign for President, in Los Angeles. Arlie Scott was the coordinator for her So. Calif. campaiign. Yes, I met Ms. Chisholm and have an autographed copy of her book "Unbought and Unbossed". I spoke at a memorial tribute, of a PBS film at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland. shortly after Rep. Chisholm passed away Barbara Lee introduced the film and moderated.

Then you invite her to your movie premier 2 years later for what would become a classic film "CALUDINE"...EPIC GOINGS ON!!!
Just my thoughts: Adversaries are necessary to get the most out of people and have others see them as something great or special. Jordan had the Pistons. Martin and Malcolm had a race. Shirley Chisholm had a race and country's views about women. God has the Devil. On the other side of your highest mountain is a even better YOU
Talk to me about Shirley Chisholm or Medgar Evers...
As many of you have heard, Congressman Major R. Owens (D-Brooklyn), passed away on Monday, October 21, 2013 due to heart and renal failure. Rep. Owens came into office in 1983 after Rep. Shirley Chisholm retired, and he continued to serve residents of Brooklyn and New York City for 12 consecutive terms. While he was a strong advocate on a wide-range of issues centered on social-justice, the former librarian viewed education as the cornerstone towards alleviating poverty. Furthermore, he helped foster a dialogue that brought together different racial, ethnic and religious communities in Brooklyn. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Maria Owens, and his children. I will update this post with details for funeral arrangements as they become available.
I was just reading about the death of Major Owens, the Congressman from my childhood district in Crown Hts who replaced Shirley Chisholm. I was a huge fan of this robust, good humored, smart and very liberal man. Now I learn that he was married to a Jewish woman who in the 50s taught at Moorhouse in Atlanta, Ethel Werfel. Very illuminating.
The Shirley Chisholm Project sadly announces that Major Owens, a New York City Democrat who served 12 terms in the House of Representatives, has died at age 77. Chris Owens says his father died Monday at NYU Langone Medical Center of renal failure and heart failure. Owens, who was from Brooklyn, served in the U.S. House from 1983 to 2007. He served with great distinction in Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm's footsteps and district. In Congress, he helped pass the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. He began his political career in the 1960s working on anti-poverty programs in the administration of New York City Mayor John Lindsay. He was elected to the state Senate in 1974. After leaving Congress, Owens taught in the Department of Public Administration at Brooklyn's Medgar Evers College. We will post more later.

[Everyday Persuasion Tip] - If you want someone to do a favor for you, ask a larger favor first that they will presumably refuse, and then ask if they will at least do you the smaller favor. Compliance on favors is already hard to turn down due to societal pressures. But in this case, you get to force it, then immediately play off of the guilt. This is also very effective for forcing people to like you on a gut-reaction level. It's called the "Benjamin Franklin" effect. People who dislike you, or are neutral, can be asked a favor. The societal pressure I mentioned, paired with an almost inconsequential favor (May I borrow a pen?) makes it impossible to refuse. But what magically happens is that your brain doesn't allow you to dislike people you have done a favor for. Future interactions with that person will benefit from the perspective of you being a person they have done a kindness for, no matter how small. They MUST like you, or else, they wouldn't have helped you - at least that's what the litt ...
Sit down and let's chop it up for a minute. Since I been on Face Book a few of my Afro top soul brothers and sisters and straight haired family friends have once or twice made their negative feelings about the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton known. My people critize and judge because of lack of understanding and main stream media Dark side mind tricks. Anytime a *** continueously speak of rights and discrimination and voting drives, then spoken negatively in words and gesture by the opposition; in due time *** will follow. Where would this world be without media exposure. It is called PR, Public Relations as one example. A President could not be president if not for the media. But be careful, the media is also the reason you are only aware of the 2 political parties and not the other 4. If they can set in your mind just the Democratic and Republican parties then is it reasonable perhaps they can set a tone of discrimination in your head to mute justice and rightousness. So instead of ask ...

Celebrating Fannie Lou Hamer who took on President Johnson and won: African Americans voted in higher percentages than whites in 2012 for the first time ever. But the work of what Johnson called "the next and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights" — equal economic opportunity — remains to be done. Thank you for bring out the vote Hispanics, African Americans, youth, women, Colorado, Florida, and Ohio. When we get equity in the US Congress, the presidency and vice presidency we will also be able to support a pathway out of the School to Prison Pipeline with jobs too when women show men what it is to work for God by loving each other. Christ speed up this plan of loving each other and get rid of those who met weekly to plan the demise of Civil Rights in the US Congress that Vice President Biden told the globe about at the funeral of Senator Pell.

Hip Hop culture is questionable in every way. It's got men thinking their rap game is so tight they don't have to work and its got women too loose, trying to catch a gangsta, so they don't have to work. It's lyrics demoralize the soul and psyche, yet it's the pride and joy of those who offer the least to society through impure thoughts and actions. if no one works who takes care of their children?

Back from a great night in Brooklyn. The BQE was packed so we got off and drove down Atlantic Avenue so I saw the Barclay Center for the first time and it's pretty cool at night. Saw the Shirley Chisholm State Office Building which remains unbossed and unbought. Drove through Williamsburg and had a great dinner at Traif (Yiddish for unkosher) while the Chabadnicks gave us the evil eye. (That last one is a joke as the Lubavitcher folks don't seem to be much in evidence north of the Williamsburg Bridge. On the other hand, Traif has a pretty low-key presence and barely a sign. We drove around the block three times before we found it. Got to wonder why that is!) Drove along the waterfront to my daughter's apartment in Greenpoint and had a wonderful view of the Chrysler Building. Then schlepped another heavy box up three flights of stairs, getting my exercise for the day and fixed the door knob at her apartment before driving home. A marvelous time was had by all. It's really sweet for my wife and I t ...

Embraer delivered the first Phenom 100 jet this week to
Pakistan's Air Force. The Pakistan government has acquired
four of this aircraft model, which will be used to transport
government officials of that country.
"Embraer is honored to enjoy the confidence of Pakistan's
Government for operating our products," said Orlando José
Ferreira Neto, Embraer Executive Vice President, Defense and
Government Market. "The Phenom 100 is an excellent aircraft that
meets a broad range of transportation demands and, with the way
opened by the Pakistan Air Force on the international market, we
are seeing a growing interest in this model in several other
This is the first Embraer aircraft delivered to a customer in
Pakistan, and it is also the first Phenom 100 to be operated by a
nation's government. Embraer says the country's Air Force
considered a variety of light jets before selecting the Phenom,
weighing the decision on aspects such as performance, comfort,
technology, acquisition price, and operating costs.
The Phenom 100 jet can accommodate up to eight occupants. Its
range of 1,178 nautical miles, including NBAA IFR fuel reserves,
means the aircraft is capable of flying nonstop from Islamabad to
Karachi, or Katmandu, Nepal.
The jet was certified in December 2008.

Fireworks Cruise..Help!
I am hoping you Disers can help me out. My husband and I are planning on booking a fireworks cruise for my family in June..It is going to be their Christmas gift.
There are going to be 9 of us and I am debating between the Wishes Cruise with music piped in and the Illuminations Cruise.
So my question is which do you prefer...Pros? Cons?
Also when do I book? 180 days? And is it like dining..I can call at 180 but book for the next 10 days?
Finally, who do I call to book?
Thank you! I am very exciting about this surprise and I think everyone with enjoy it but I just like to have everything planned out!..

I have done Wishes once and Illuminations 4 times now, most recently was last month. Obviously, I enjoy the Illuminations one more.
The reason I like Illuminations more is that the boats get you close and at water level. A lot of the illuminations show takes place at that level. And although I have camped out and gotten prime viewing spots for Illuminations, it's still a better show sitting on the water like that. Wishes viewing is out in the lagoon, you aren't close to it. You can get just as good of a view standing free at the Narcoosees dock at the GF. Wishes, IMO, is only fantastic viewing it from Main Street inside the park.
The negatives to Illuminations is that the wind direction could alter your experience. We've never had it happen but I've read reveiws where people were very disappointed because the wind blew towards them and they couldn't see it well. Also, the cruise boats for Illuminations dock right next to one another. It will not be a private experience; there are 4 boats that dock very close to one another. Neither of these would affect a Wishes cruise.
I don't remember the number you call, I'm thinking it's WDW-PLAY. I have always called early on the first day of 6 months out. I do not believe it's the 180 + 10, you call at 180 days from the date you want to do the tour. I have always called at 4am (my time on the west coast).
Don't forget that you will need cash for the tip for the boat captain. I think the cruise itself is $375. It will include soft drinks, water and bagged snacks.
The Grand I Yacht can only be done for Wishes. If I had a large group (more than 6), I would definitely do it but we are never more than 4 for our fireworks cruise. On the pontoons, 6 can sit up front in the sideways seating but the other 4 seats are at the rear of the boat.
I think the fireworks cruises are a nice treat. My husband thinks they are outrageously priced for what you get.

I have done both and I much preferred the Wishes cruise.
For me one of the best parts of the cruise was the pre-fireworks part. The captain took us all around the lake, and pointed out all the various hotels, and Discovery Island, etc, and he had interesting tid-bits about each one. We also were able to view the electric water pageant from the pontoon. The lake is much bigger at the Magic Kingdom, and it was just a very nice experience. The fireworks were great too, and it was cool to see them reflect off the water. The angle from the boat is excellent, and you don't feel too far away.
For me the Illuminations cruise was not nearly as nice. They did take us on a quick cruise over to the Studios, but there is not as much over there, so it wasn't as interesting. The waterway is very small, it almost feels like you are on a river for most of it. I was also not crazy about the locations that we watched the fireworks from, we were behind another boat. I much prefer the view from the bridge between UK and France.
I think the Illuminations one book earlier than the MK ones, I would try to book it at 180 days if you can. I have been able to get the MK one much closer to the date, but if you know you want to do it, I would make the reservation ASAP.
Don't forget to tip your boat Captain!

I'd say if you're going in june, book as soon as you possibly can.
I've never done the Illuminations cruise, but my family has twice done the Wishes cruise, both times for special occasions... and it was truly special on both occasions.
I think the deciding factor for me came down to the shows themselves. I love, love, love the music from Illuminations. But the show itself is a little long and has that awful, endless segment with the globe spinning and images being flashed upon it. I'd rather sit home under headphones and blast the Illuminations music and actually watch/hear Wishes from the water.
For me, there was also something very cool about being in the middle of the Seven Seas Lagoon at night, on the private boat, and just taking in the sights that have, since I was a kid, been what Disney World is all about: The monorail, the Contemporary, the Magic Kingdom, the Grand Floridian... before the show began, I was already lost in the magic. And afterwards, our awesome driver -- Rose, I believe was her name -- very generously took us to the two different resorts that we were staying at (some were at Fort Wilderness, others at the Wilderness Lodge) despite our cruise having left from the docks at Fort Wilderness.
It was an awesome experience that I will never, ever forget.

up front disclaimer: never been big on illuminations, so might be a bit biased
Have done Wishes (1x) and Illuminatins (1x) with extended family and for all of us we enjoyed wishes much more. The key for us I think was the pre and post cruise experience... being on the lagoon for wishes offered a lot more to see and for our guide to chat about. You also have the opportunity to get some cruising speed and enjoy a boat ride. Seeing the electrical parade after was also a fun experience for our family as we'd never seen it although I understand there's no guarantees you will get to watch it as part of the cruise. Finally, watching the show out on the lagoon even though there were plenty of other boats around gave the whole experience an intimate feeling and unless you took time to pay attention to the other boats, I found myself forgetting they were there.
For Illuminations you are mostly going through some channels so it's a very slow ride with little to see. Our guide was good and personable, but the cruise leading up to the show was uneventful and the ride back after the show was the same. For the show itself, we were in the lead boat with an unobstructed view, but with all the boats packed in you definitely don't get a feeling of privacy like we did on Wishes.
Strictly going by best seats for the show - Illuminations probably can't be beat. But for ambiance and overall experience, we'd pick wishes hands down. Again tho, we're not big Illuminations fans so that might be a big part of it.
Edit - illuminations has *very* limited availability. I think I remember reading only 4 boats total although IIRC, there may have been 6 there with us. Wishes can fit a whole lot more because they are not limited on err.. seating capacity being out on the lagoon. Either way you probably want to call as early as possible (180 days or more?).

Thanks for the advice! We were leaning towards the Wishes cruise and this thread confirmed it! Also, I think Wishes will be more special to my mom and dad because they took a cruise like this when they were at Disney for their honeymoon!
I guess it will have husband on one phone for the cruise and I will be on the other securing BOG and the other restaurtants!
Now I just have to decide on where all 9 of us are going to eat those other meals!
