Collins appointed to fill Ward 1, Seat A school vacancy
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
ROCHESTER — The City Council on Tuesday appointed Jake Collins as the new School Board member for Ward 1, Seat A.
When asked what kept him working in education throughout his career, Collins said, "I enjoyed it tremendously. It seemed a very good fit for my abilities and lifestyle."
As a new School Board member, school safety is a top priority Collins. He said another priority is careful planning of the possible renovation of East Rochester School, a project the School Board has recommended for next fiscal year, with an estimated price tag of $13.1 million.
Collins is the past chairman of the Conservation Commission, and a former board member and secretary of the Strafford Guidance Center.
A lifetime resident of the Lilac City, Collins is married, and has two grown children and five grandchildren.
In the 1960s, Collins served active duty in the U.S. Army, in the infantry division. He was then in the Army Reserves from 1962 to 1980.

Zug Island: A Detroit Riot Novel
... tells a Huck Finn meets heavy industry tale about a suburban white kid who gets a crash course in race relations. Set in 1967 against a backdrop of industrial blight and urban decay, Jake Malone and Theo Semple stumble in and out of rhythm on Detroit's mean streets to discover that the face of racism comes in every shade of color.
After getting kicked out of college, Jakes need to find work in Detroit's frozen rust belt. Armed with a shovel and a keen sense of self-preservation, he enters the dark reaches of Zug Island and must prove his worth, not only to himself but to everyone around him. Befriended on the job by Theo, their friendship grows until put to the test outside the well-defined boundaries of the coke ovens. There they find that racial discrimination, enshrined behind Detroit's segregated suburban neighborhoods for decades, is alive and well.
Then one sweltering, early Sunday morning, an aggressive Detroit police squad puts into motion a raid on a "blind pig" that ignites the heart of the city by setting old hatreds ablaze leaving much of the town in ruins and suburbia witness to its worst fears. Hell had come to town.

Oct 6th 2012. ANDY'S UNPOPULAR INSIGHTS. Vice-President Al Gore Defends President Obama's Drug Addiction.
VP Al Gore said that Pres Obama did badly in Denver because he's drug addicted to heavy smoking, and in "Mile High" Denver Pres Obama did NOT have enough oxygen in his brain.
Over the last 45 years I have been in Denver 23 times for conventions and business meetings. For many years all of the NASGW meetings were in Denver. I live a half block away from the Ocean in Fort Lauderdale (Sea Level). Going to Denver never bothered me, or altered my normal thinking.
As a personal side note, when I first started going to Denver for business meetings in the late 1960s (I'd always stay at the Brown Palace Hotel). Denver was a hick, over grown cow town. It turned into a very pleasant city.
President Obama's problem is that his brain does NOT have enough oxygen ALL OF THE TIME. There is a LOT of Teddy Kennedy in Pres Obama - he can talk for hours but he does not say anything. Teddy's brain was oxygen starved because it was always swimming in booze. Pres Obama's because it's swimming in Nicotine.
President Obama accusing Mr. Romney of not being specific is like Teddy Kennedy accusing Tip O'Neill of drinking.
When Al Gore first started blabbing about "Global Warming" and Sea levels going Up, I wrote three essays calling him, "A perfect example of Washington DC One-Step Thinking." I wrote that Sea levels would NOT go up. That the added snow and ice melt moisture from warming would go UP AND INTO the Earth's expanded Billion square miles of warmer air. That because of the expanded and changed air currents some LAND AREAS would go to extremes of drought and flood. Al Gore said the number of Hurricanes would double. I wrote that the melt-off of ice going into the ocean would reduce Hurricanes. Now that it's years later, I clearly got it mainly right.
I like President Obama for NOT being President Bush. For not murdering American troops because of Zionist con games. However, on economic issues Pres Obama is a classic Democratic Party (and world socialist/communist) windup doll. Every economic problem has the same solution, "Tax the rich."
My view is that President Obama is a victim of the Democratic Party's own propaganda, and Mr. Obama sincerely does NOT understand macro economics and the numbers.
Mr. Romney, and Mr. Ryan, have an opportunity to turn around Pres Obama's classic socialist political/economic ignorance. The con game of, "YOU can live on the money of the rich forever if you vote for me." That Con Game could be turned around and into an "Ah Ha" moment in the remaining debates. When Pres Obama starts talking about taxing the rich the question should be, "Socialists all over the World have been peddling that political con game for over a Century. Where in the world has taxing the rich worked to turn an economy around?"
The answer to the above question is, "Nowhere."
I ran the numbers in my Sept 6th 2012 essay. If the American Government confiscated 100% of ALL of the wealth of the 20 richest people in America that would be 454 Billion Dollars. That would ONLY cover 38% of ONE YEAR's 1.2 Trillion Dollars of Obama Administration yearly new DEBT creation.
Do the Math. If Obama confiscated 100% of All of the Wealth of the 20 richest people in America that would be $115 per American, per month, for ONLY one year. Then the money would be 100% GONE.
Not exactly the lifelong promise of Easy Street that's in the Obama/Democratic Party con game - is it? Mr. Romney and the Republicans need to Communicate the facts.
Mr. Romney needs to start saying, "I'm not defending the rich - a lot of them waste money on things they shouldn't be doing. But here are the hard numbers...."
The other side of the tax the rich con game is, "In Mao's China the Government taxed the rich at 98%. The Mao Government confiscated every factory in China. The result was 75% of the Chinese population living in extreme poverty and making LESS than one dollar a day. THEN, Deng Xiaping Stopped taxing the rich, EVERYONE had a lot more money, and in 2016 China will pass America as the biggest economy in the world."

American Institute of Architects Issues Statement on Introduction of Transportation Reauthorization Proposal
AIA Urges Congress Not to Miss Opportunity to Revitalize Economy, Improve Safety
Contact: John Schneidawind
For immediate release:
Washington, D.C. – July 8, 2011 – The American Institute of Architects (AIA) issued the following statement on the release of the transportation reauthorization proposal Thursday by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-Fla.)
The statement should be attributed to AIA President Clark Manus, FAIA:
"Whenever architects are hired by clients to design projects, their primary goal is for the design to be cost effective while being long-lasting – by investing now and realizing the paybacks over time. This proposal may cost less than a fully funded transportation bill, but the long-term costs to our country by failing to invest in a 21st Century transportation system are far-reaching."
"The cost just to maintain our transportation infrastructure in a good state outpaces even current federal funding. It will not help communities address the congestion challenges they face, or offer people more options in how they travel.
"This reauthorization bill should be a rare opportunity to help re-design our communities and transportation networks to help enable the U.S. to remain competitive. "We urge Congress to keep this goal in mind as negotiations continue on this much needed transportation bill."
"It's essential that we don't let this opportunity slip away."

Help Wanted: ESRB Full-Time Game Raters
The Entertainment Software Rating Board is looking for a few good gamers. The task? Work full time on reviewing and assigning ratings to video games. In a brief help-wanted posting, the ESRB says that it is looking for candidates with an "interest in and familiarity with video games," good communications skills, and "experience with children."
Currently, ESRB video game ratings are performed by a part-time staff and are based on reels of representative content sent by the developers and screened by the ESRB. Assuming that the developers make the reel truly representative—and they run the risk of being fined $1 million by the ESRB if they do not—it should result in a rating that accurately reflects a game's content.

Everclear Grain Alcohol 190@
Sku: 1004372
1 day lead-time required to confirm availability Why?
Everclear is a brand of neutral grain spirit that is 190 proof. Everclear is often added to a variety of other drinks such as soft drinks, energy drinks, fruit juice, and iced tea and in some cocktails and sometimes in place of vodka or rum. It is also used to make homemade liqueurs such as limoncello and is used in cooking because its high concentration of alcohol acts as a solvent to extract flavors.
Everclear is incredibly potent and should be used strictly and responsibly. Don't drink it straight!

The project combines a modernist house with a private museum, forging a synthesis between two different design aesthetics. The 6000 square-foot residence rests on its massive rammed earth base like a display glass box set on a pedestal. The residence is a clean white box wrapped in a mesh skin that covers the glass to filter the intense desert sun. The white interior continues the clean and simple aesthetic.
A dramatic undulating wall of stacked 1/4" glass slabs scale the full three stories of the building. The 75 foot long glass wall is a dramatic play of light and shape off-set by the minimalist interior design. The panel of windows is shrouded by a hinged screen, which lowers when temperatures are temperate to reveal the surrounding desert scene.
The lower level is the heart of the project – it holds a large private museum and archives. Rammed earth walls 4 feet thick surround the volume, naturally regulating the interior's temperature and humidity. Architect Eddy Jones was inspired by the fact that much of the collection was found in the ground, thus the museum is a fitting tribute to the objects' histories. Massive exposed steel I-beams hold up the floor above, adding an industrial quality to the raw earth rooms. Natural light from above highlights that seductive aqua-hued glass wall, which binds the entire space together.

Depends on the exact climate, but the thicker the rammed earth walls, the longer they act within the lag-effect (absorbing/storing the heat from the hot days and releasing it into the interior in the night). They usually have to be a good 2′-4′ thick to work correctly. Personally, I love how they look too.
Ahauser02 July 19, 2011 at 9:52 am
The glass and clean metal top-level of the building is a really nice contrast, both in its color and lightness, to the heavy material and tones of the rammed earth and steel lower-level. This is a really beautiful piece! I'm just curious why the rammed earth walls are 4′ thick? http://www.aaronhauser.com/the-boden-haus/

We stayed here in November for our 20-something anniversary, and loved it! We had a huge suite with an extra-large soaking tub and a cozy fireplace. Ron and Sue are the best! Super friendly and interesting people - they helped us celebrate our anniversary with Champagne and hors d'oeuvres and we got to know them a little before heading out for the night. By the next morning, my husband said he felt a million miles away even though we were close to home. Our breakfast the next morning was super-delicious too. Highly recommend it!

This is a little bit of heaven tucked away across the street from a very nice winery and vineyard. Makes for a nice visit to both places. We were lucky enough to see it in late Summer and see the incredible landscaping which includes a magnificent waterfall in the back where you can set on a nice patio or up close near the falls. Also stayed closer to Christmas and the entire home was beautifully decorated for the Holidays. A very nice cheese,and fruit plate was waiting for us with wine, and breakfast was a special treat. Every attention to detail is the best way for us to describe this home away from home and can not wait for a visit this Spring.

My wife and I try to take a long weekend each year for our anniversary. We have stayed at several B&Bs over the years, and all have been very nice. But "The Pig" was especially nice. The farmhouse was so warm and inviting. The Christmas decorations were just amazing and the detail was fantastic. We enjoyed seeing many of the toys and games of yesteryear displayed under the tree that complemented the historic nature of the house and furnishings. What great memories those sights invoked of a time gone by to reflect on during our stay. The breakfasts were second to none. But even with all that said, Ron and Sue, along with Robin the innkeeper made all that pale in comparison. They made us feel so welcome and did all the little things to make our stay very special. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.

The most wonderful B&B that we have ever visited! Ron and Sue, the owners, have converted an old farmhouse(s) over the last 19 years to a beautiful, welcoming, comfortable paradise. Sue has been collecting antiques over her entire life and her flair for unpretentious decorating makes this home a beautiful, restful, inviting respite. I honestly did not want to leave. The variety of rooms are beautifully decorated with an amazing attention to detail. Everything from the comfort of the mattress, crispness of the linens, room temperature, quietness and great breakfast worked together to provide an exceptional visit. The grounds are beautiful with a soothing waterfall and fish pond. We are going back at the first opportunity.

Our family stayed at the Whimsical Pig in June for a family reunion and it was fantastic. Not only were the breakfast menus awesome, the place was very well kept and decorated nicely. Ron and Sue are such welcoming people and embraced having our family, including our four small children! We would stay here again for sure.

We recently stayed at The Whimsical Pig for a family reunion; my family traveled from Charlotte to visit extended family in Norton. Ron and Sue were incredibly kind and accommodating. We had several young children with us, but Ron and Sue didn't bat an eyelash and even went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. Ron and Sue were interactive and fun to talk with but knew when to let us be together as a family. Breakfast was delicious each morning! We will definitely stay at The Whimsical Pig again.

My wife Jaime and I booked this B&B for our 5 year anniversary as it was close to home and we didn't want to be too far from our 5 month old on our first weekend away from him. At the last minute, our babysitter wasn't able to watch him and we had to bring our son, Lucas with us. Sue and Ron were extremely accommodating to our needs, allowing us to use their kitchen to make up bottles. Our first weekend away from our son turned into our first family vacation, and it couldn't have happened as seamlessly without them. We will be returning.

As B & B travelers, this was one of the best we have visited. After a horrendous drive in downpour rain, we were greeted by a vivacious hostess who served us wine and a cheese tray. We, also had a wonderful dinner there. We spent a very relax time in this remodeled farmhouse with beautiful decor and furniture. The best part was feeling at home and sharing conversation with lots of laughs.

My husband surprised me with an overnight at The Whimsical Pig in October 2013. What a fabulous surprise! Ron and Sue were unbelievable hosts. I was nervous about staying at a b&b, but those worries were soon put to rest. We arrived and got settled in our room, we stayed in the Gloucestershire Room. The house is absolutely stunning from top to bottom. Intricately decorated, you find yourself looking at a stunning antique around every corner. The home is meticulously clean. We began our evening with wine, homemade bread and dips, fresh fruit, and olives which were all delicious. We dined outside in the gorgeously landscaped backyard next to the koi pond. It was so delightful and relaxing. We did go to a local restaurant for dinner, but honestly we were quite full from all our earlier snacks. And now that we know, I would definitely rather dine at the house. The room is so beautiful yet comfortable. Breakfast was another treat the following morning. So worth it! I don't normally think of Copely, OH as a get-a-way location, but The Whimsical Pig makes you feel as it you are at a resort location. Can't wait until our next visit, we will be sure to get the picnic lunch and go to the winery across the street!

I recently surprised my husband with a Valentine's weekend stay at The Pig. We live in the Norton/Copley area and have seen this beautiful property change over the years. Only admiring the home from the street, it was a much anticipated arrival. Needless to say Ron and Sue did not disappoint. We where greeted at the door by Ron and a cute chalkboard with our names on it! A bottle of wine and snacks! We felt spoiled from the moment we stepped in the door. Their home is beautiful and the decor makes and great match! Not a detail missed! We stayed in the Gloucestershire Old Spot Suit, having a cozy sitting room with fireplace, large private bath with soaking tub!! I didn't want to check out and check in to the madness of 3 small children!! We also took advantage of a private candle light dinner. Our dinner was cooked to perfection and where well tended to. My husband even made a comment that, he couldn't believe he didn't even pick up the salt and pepper shaker!! The spices and flavor was just that good!! Breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Unique and refreshing. The snow was falling and I must say as a true Ohioan the snow fall isn't as majestic in mid February as it is around December! But looking out those tall farm house windows onto the winery across the street time seemed to stop for a second. Just beautiful. We've traveled around the country but never stayed in a B & B. I was a little nervous not sure about privacy and just feeling comfortable in someone's home. I can say from here out we will be looking into B & B's for getaways. But I have a feeling this one will be hard to beat!! Overall our kid free 24 hours was amazing at The Pig! I would go back tomorrow if I could get Grandma to take the kids again!! Thank you!!

Recently spent the weekend in the Akron and Medina areas of Ohio for my wife's birthday; to explore the quaint shops and antique malls of the area. The Whimsical Pig B&B simply exceeded any expectations I had. The owners Ron and Sue are so warm and caring, and pay attention to every last detail for the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. They handled dinner reservations for us, turned-down our bed for the night, made sure our cars were clean in the morning (it snowed overnight), even sent us way with bottled water for the trip home. The photos on their website do not do their B&B justice - it has such a cozy and country feel to it. We stayed in the Old Spot Suite - romantic fireplace and relaxing soaking tub were made for a beyond perfect evening for my wife and I. And Sue's creme` burleee oatmeal - I will forever be spoiled when we next travel as the bar has been set quite high! Such an endearing coulple and such a beautiful and charming home - thanks Ron and Sue! --tom from pittsburgh, pa

Wanted to take my husband away for a little break in the snowy -0 weather. Sue and Ron offered a great opportunity in the middle of the week on his actual birthday!!! House and all rooms just wonderful and filled with treasures collected by Sue since she was a child!!! Our daughter treated us to a gourmet dinner with wine there and we had a wonderful breakfast in the morning!! Can't wait to go back again and celebrate there!!!

Robin and Sue are the most gracious hosts - they went above and beyond on our recent 2 night get away. This beautifully restored farmhouse has been decorated with the highest attention to detail and yet is so comfortable to relax in front of a huge fireplace on a very cold winter afternoon. We will definitely return for another stay in the future.

My husband I stayed at the Whimsical Pig in Dec. of 2013 for our 12 year wedding anniversary. We've stayed at a different bed and breakfast for almost all of our anniversaries. We usually travel an hour or two from home; however, this year we stayed very close. We only live a few miles from the Whimsical Pig and drive by several times a week. The exterior is so charming and inviting that we really wanted to visit and see if the rest was as wonderful. It turned out it is indeed! Everything was perfect! The hosts greet you with appetizers and drinks, they visit with you just enough, and yet you feel free to have your own time as well. They truly open their home and make you feel so welcome. You have so much more space than just a room with a separate bathroom and sitting rooms. The bed was very comfortable and we loved that the room had a white noise machine! The bedroom included very nice robes and our own Keurig for late night coffee, tea, or cocoa. Our breakfast was OUTSTANDING! We had a baked French toast, crispy bacon, fresh fruit, coffee and juice. We couldn't even finish all that we were served. Since we visited just after Christmas, the house was still decorated and an absolute must see! We would highly recommend staying at the Whimsical Pig!

My husband and I spent a Friday night at the Whimsical Pig in November. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. This is a beautifully restored farmhouse with fabulous amenities. The owners, Ron and Sue Bishop, are perfect hosts, seemingly having done this for years rather than just over six months. We enjoyed a wonderful meal and great conversation while watching the snow falling, turning the outside into a wonderland as we stayed cozy inside with fires burning. Our room was again decorated perfectly, with such attention to detail, including a lovely sitting room and well appointed bath. Breakfast was a delicious and substantial meal of oatmeal with crème brulee. We can't wait to return in the spring and summer to see how Sue decorates for the change of seasons and to enjoy some time on the inviting patio.

My husband, 3 year-old daughter, and I just returned from a 2-night stay at the Whimsical Pig B&B. Our hosts, Sue and Ron Bishop, warmly welcomed us into their beautifully restored farmhouse. Every room was decorated with such care that one could spend a lifetime discovering new touches of whimsy! The breakfasts were delicious--the creme brulee oatmeal was divine--and the bed was comfortable. We already booked our return visit!

A friend and I went to stay for a girls' getaway and couldn't have stayed at a better place!! They had cheese and crackers and friut for us to sit outside in their peaceful oasis, along with beverages. The Whimsical Pig was so clean, that I started looking for any signs of hidden dust bunnies...I couldn't even find them. Then, you add the wonderful hosts to the picture. I asked if we could use the hot tub in the morning and she even brought me a cup of coffee while we sat in the hot tub! When you think it can't get any better...she cooked a breakfast that was fabulous! The owners of the Whimisical Pig Bed and Breakfast obviously love their job and exceedingly work to make their guests not only welcomed, but pampered. Thanks!

We are so pleased you enjoyed your " girls' getaway" at The Pig! I have acted on your suggestion and removed the quilts from the bench. Next time you stay you will have the bench, the three shelves in the cabinet, and the closet...plenty of places to put your stuff. Hope to see you soon. You can never plan too many getaways!

My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the Gloucestershire Suite. It was large and beautifully decorated. Ron and Sue, our inn keepers, thought of everything. We enjoyed a delicious dinner on the evening we arrived and wonderful breakfasts each morning. There are many interesting things to do in the area. I would definitely stay at the Whimsical Pig again. You will not be disappointed!

My wife and I came up for a concert at nearby Blossom Music Center that turned out to be a disappointment. But I'm happy to say that staying at the Whimsical Pig made up for it. We only wish we had left more time to spend there. The house and decor are wonderful. The bed was comfortable, and my wife really enjoyed a relaxing bubble bath in the Jacuzzi tub. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast Sue made for us (oatmeal crème brûlée ) that was outstanding. We are both looking forward to having another chance to stay there in the hopefully near future. Aside from checking out the nearby wineries, we would be quite happy just relaxing at the Whimsical Pig. Thanks! Eric & Missy (Melissa)

My wife and I stayed in the Chester White room for our wedding anniversary. We had a great time! Sue and Ron were very friendly and made us feel right at home. The room was very nice and clean, with a television, coffee maker, bath robes and super comfortable bed. The private bath and whirlpool tub were great as well. The rest of the house is very spacious. There are plenty of rooms to sit in and lots of seating outside as well... very easy to find privacy when you want it. And Wolf Creek Winery is just across the street if you're looking for something to do within walking distance. We opted to have dinner at the house, which Sue prepared for us. She's an awesome cook! The dinner options were amazing and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was also great - fresh fruit, bacon, muffins, and oatmeal creme brulee for us. You won't leave hungry. All around great value, I imagine we will be back some day!

Our stay at the Whimsical Pig was fabulous! The innkeepers are a delightful couple. The Inn was absolutely beautiful. Our dinner and breakfast were exceptional. We have stayed at many B&Bs and this is one of the best!

My husband and I don't have much time to spend together. We had only 2 vacation days this summer. We had a wedding to go to up in Akron which meant we had one night to do something special. We stayed at the Whimsical Pig B&B and it was absolutely wonderful!! It was perfect. The house was beautiful. The suite we stayed in was so comfortable and pretty. There was a separate but private bath which was lovely. It had a whirlpool tub which was so relaxing. We got a 90 minute couples massage which was also very relaxing. The food was wonderful. They had appetizers made for us upon arrival. They normally serve wine but my husband and I don't drink wine. We told them we enjoy sweet tea and Sue went out of her way to look up an Alabama sweet tea recipe and had it made for us. Breakfast in the morning was also delicious. Ron and Sue are very sweet and hospitable. This is a wonderful place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone. Enjoy your visit!

Having stayed in many B&B's , historical inns and hotels, the Whimsical Pig has to be one of my favorites so far. Being that the Akron area is not on a lot of people's bucket list, I would recommend if you are ever in the area for business or a family event, to make yourself at home here. You will not be disappointed! Sue and Ron are the most energetic, gracious proprietors you will ever meet in your travels. Greeted with a welcome on an old fashion school chalkboard, the moment you enter you feel like a giggling 10 year old again. The near perfect restoration of a 1876 farm house filled with all kinds of trinkets, pigs and antiques makes the most mature adult want to explore and play hide and seek! After showing us to our room we were treated to a lovely wine and cheese hour by a cascading waterfall in the back yard. Ron came out many times to make sure our needs were meet and we spoke about the birth of this B&B and the 18 years it took to get there. The bed was most comfortable complete with soothing sound machine next to the bed. Extra pillows, coffee maker and a turn town service with chocolates were some of the details Sue made sure to include in our experience. You will be delighted with a hearty, beautifully presented breakfast and lively conversation as you start your day. The Whimsical Pig has left no stone unturned and you will have made new friends during your stay. If asked to find anything to improve on it would be more lighting in the bathroom at the sink/mirror. We will be sure to stay again when in the area visiting family. Well done!

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at the Whimsical Pig. Although they've only recently opened, it was difficult to tell because everything went so smoothly. From the wine and cheese served to us on the patio upon our arrival to the great breakfast the next day, our experience at this B and B exceeded our expectations. We're sure to make a return visit to Sue and Ron's home. - Kim and Jay Manix

My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway at The Whimsical Pig. I was in ahhh, over this place. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. We were greeted with open arms, and treated like we were friends for years. Sue and Ron showed us around the house and property, and it was so quant, with a antique charm. The room was nice, had everything we needed. Everything was very clean, and the smells of fresh flowers engulfed our room. Once we got settled in we were served a cheese plate and a bottle of wine to enjoy out on the patio. The weather was perfect. For dinner a picnic basket full of goodies was packed for us. We had chicken salad, and turkey sandwiches. Also in the basket was homemade potato salad, pickles, brandied raspberries, homemade brownies, plates, silverware, a tablecloth and a vase with flowers. I have never gone for a picnic just with my husband and it was so nice to have everything there. We ate it at the wolf creek winery across the road from the bed and breakfast. Breakfast the next morning was out of this world. Let's just say French toast will never be the same in my mind ever again. Sue made up a apple French toast that was too die for. With the the breakfast we had a grapefruit salad a yummy bacon. After breakfast we enjoyed our time outdoors with our new friends we just made. I can't wait to go back.

Does this start in the right place? Seems to me to start up the short layback crack just right.

We've known for a while that Fox has been courting Channing Tatum to star as Gambit in their ever-growing X-Men franchise, and now it's confirmed. Producer Lauren Shuler Donner had this to say at Monday Night's Days of Future Past premiere:
And now, the Hollywood Reporter is reporting that audiences ill first see the Magic Mike star flinging explosive cards, in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse. Soon after, audiences will be treated to a Gambit stand-alone film which is still in the very early stages of development.
Personally I feel that seeing the iconic 90's X-Man rubbing elbows with young Magneto and Professor X will be a little weird, but he's the type of character that will play both sides in the mutant debate. Where do you think Gambit will fit in?
Remember when Friday Night Lights star, Taylor Kitsch played the card-throwing, cajun mutant? Well Fox certainly hopes you don't. In keeping with the trend to make every super hero franchise a gigantic multi-media tentpole, the studio behind The X-Men and Fantastic Four are starting their drive to introduce more and more mutants to spin-off solo films.
Their first step: nailing down Channing Tatum to play Gambit and based on his interview at the MTV Movie Awards, they're getting closer to striking a deal. (See minute 4:25).
Get More: 2014 MTV Movie Awards, Latest Movie News
Last year when doing press for White House Down Magic Mike himself (Channing Tatum) talked about how much he'd love to play the card throwing mutant, and 90's X-Men favorite, Gambit. He even has the cajun accent down.
Well, in Empire Magazine published earlier this week, X-Men producer, Lauren Shuler Donner, said:
"I'm dying to do a Gambit movie with Channing Tatum," Shuler Donner reveals. "That doesn't have to be a great big movie. It's a thief in New Orleans, it's a whole different story. He's on board, and I have to get the studio on board. How can anyone resist Channing? He's such a sweetheart."That's one step closer to this dream coming true. What do you think, would Tatum make a good Gambit?

The hospital where I delivered asked me if I wanted to restrict visitors for X amount of time, as well as limit the number of people. I said no, because we had already had a plan in place with family members and they (mostly) respected that. However, if I were concerned about it, all I had to do was tell them what I wanted and they would be sure to facilitate that.
My mom and FI's mom (FI's mom was not planned) were both in the room with us during delivery and my grandmother, who was coincidentally in town when LO was born was in the waiting room. All three were respectful of our bonding time and left shortly after LO was born. No one returned until we told them that it was okay, which was the next afternoon.
You can keep them waiting as long as you want- DD was born at 5:30 and we were wanting to wait until we got up to our room, but then shift change happened and we were just waiting around in the delivery room until around 7:30. Everyone just waited in the waiting room. Then we moved upstairs and they immediately took DD to the nursery to be bathed and didn't bring her back until after visiting hours were over. So no one saw DD except for the brief time when they pushed me through the crowd or through plate glass until the next day. It just so happens due to scheduling that my mom didn't see/hold DD until we got home with her work schedule.
I plan to keep everyone at bay for a while, I want DD to meet LO first, and us to be situated in our room but we'll see. I need to check if they have restrictions on DD coming along.
I've taken a pretty hard line on this one and I am entirely without remorse. Anyone who wants to sit in the waiting room and be bored for hours while I am in labor can do so at their own discretion, but absolutely NO visitors will be coming into my L&D suite until DH and I are ready, likely at least 1 hour postpartum. Impatience or pushiness about coming in the room before we are ready will not be met with a polite response. We will call when we head to the hospital and we will call when the baby is born. When we are ready to have visitors we will notify everyone and immediate family can come in and stay for a couple of hours to meet the baby and celebrate with us. After that, we ask that any visitors call us before they come and the nursing staff will not allow access to my L&D suite if I am sleeping.
Well whenever you decide to allow visitors.
With DD after we had about an hour alone with her we had people come in and visit. We'll probably do something similar this time if there are people here. I was induced with DD so they were waiting in the waiting room when she came.
My hospital has a policy called "The Golden Hour" where the first hour after birth is just for baby/parent bonding. After that the nurses asked me if they should open the flood gates, let people in in small groups, or wait. We opened the flood gates.
I've always been in the minority on this topic, but I'm the type that would rather have all the visitors come to the hospital rather than host visitors at my house, so I was happy to show off my new baby in the hospital. We found bonding time throughout our stay.
We won't be accepting any visitors the day of th birth. DH and I want things to be as calm as possible to recover, bf, and bond with the baby.
I depends solely on what you want. With DS nobody came to visit until the next day, but all my close friends and family were in different cities/states and had work commitments. My mom was in the room with us during labor but when DS came out she blended into the background and became practically invisble, giving us our time as a brand new family. She waited to come up to us until I specifically asked her "Do you want to hold your grandson?" It was perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better first experience.
This time around we are in a different country than our family and close friends, so it will just be DH, DS and I at the hospital, and my family will fly out to see LO as soon as they can after he/she is born.
Happy2BPregnant:I'd like some alone time to bond with the baby and attempt nursing. Also, I'd like my DH to bond with the baby for a bit. He is not used to being around babies. It will be hard because I'm sure both sets of grandparents will be impatiently waiting!
I agree with you I would rather have alone time after birth ...kinda like a calm before the storm!!!!
