The College Station SWAT team., the Navasota police department and DPS troopers descended on the mobile home, beginning a standoff that ended at 9:35pm Saturday.
Griggs is charged with aggravated assault on a public servant, a first degree felony that could put him in prison for the rest of his life, assault causing bodily injury, and making terroristic threats.

I know when I have been around certain people at my school you hear about how some girls enjoy kissing other girls but you dont hear it when it comes to guys kissing guys. It could be that way because we may be more understanding of our sexuality than guys that are our age. When it comes to our sexuality I am not saying we like it more than boys but we may be more open to trying different things and like it just as much.

I cant tell you a lot about this because I'm only 12 too. I think it's normal, I've had feelings for boys and girls, but each time I do, I end up growing out of it. xx
by delaneycatherine on 3/15/2013 3:45:39 PM
I dont judge those who are gay or bisexual & ik i sometimes get simular feelings like these too . Not really feelings for girls but unlike most people , I can tell another girl she's pretty or looks cute for the day without saying " no homo " . Lol i do like guys , but idk - maybe its because i dont care what people think of me ?
by Beautified_Jailyn on 3/7/2013 7:01:01 PM
You could always talk to a counselor about your feelings. It was explained to me that just because we have these thoughts and feelings when we are young doesnt mean you are going to feel like that forever. I think because of puberty and what we see, it influences our desires when it comes to guys and relationships. Maybe because we almost always see female bodies used for ads and selling things we think about our bodies more when it comes to sex. You dont see mens bodies being used as much and not that their bodies are ugly, or we arent curious about what they look like, we just feel we may be bi because we get these feelings when we see and think about female and male bodies.

I reported a comment, above, by accident.
by bloop116 on 2/11/2013 5:23:00 PM
There is a posibility that you are bi. My guess is that you are probably not though. I though I was bi for a while but then I realised I was in a way kind of making myself feel I was bi. I was, am, and always will be a proud LGBTQ supporter. At the time that was when I started the whole support gay thing. I was so focused on that that I led myself to believing I was bi. I wasn't though. It is normal at an age like this to have mixed emotions an feelings...especially when it comes to your sexuality. My advice is that you calm down, don't try any relationship for a while, take it easy this Valentine's Day, and see if you are any more comfortable with yourself after a while.
I hope this helps. I wish you all the best. Just join my club and advice queen if you still have questions.

Tomato Ticker 1.5
Of course, to actually get results, both the working and break periods must be protected: you do not have to get distracted during a working session, while using the break timers to actually relax.
Extremely unobtrusive Pomodoro utility
The Tomato Ticker user interface is represented by a small status bar menu where you can start the pomodoro timer: if the app is active, you will also visualize the countdown in the status bar icon. The same area allows you to quickly adjust the working, short break, and long break timers.
The working sessions can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour, while the brakes can vary between 5 and 30 minutes. A short break timer is triggered after each working session, but one every 4 pomodoros, the long break counter kicks in.
Seamlessly integrates with the Notifications Center
Tomato Ticker makes use of the OS X Notifications Center to display audio and visual alerts when the working sessions or breaks start or finish. Via the System Preferences you can easily change the alert display mode, change the notification sound, or simply disable any of them.
Unsophisticated but highly efficient activity timer
Breaking tasks into small working sessions and making sure that you take your time to relax once in a while can help you improve your overall productivity level: it will help you focus better. Tomato Ticker is a small application that can help you organize your time by using the Pomodoro technique without too much hustle.

Ke$ha and MTV are working together to give fans of the glitter goddess a behind the scenes look at life with the Tik Tok singer. The documentary series, titled My Crazy Beautiful Life, follows Ke$ha over a two year period as she records her new disc Warrior, travels the globe and tries to keep a handle on both her personal and professional lives.
MTV is promoting the documentary series, premiering this April, as a no-holds barred look into Ke$ha's life, with those closest to her, including her brother Lagan Sebert and family friend Steven Greenstreet, acting as directors for the doc.
"You might have heard my voice on the radio, seen me onstage or in a music video, but that's only a part of the story," Ke$ha told MTV News. "With this documentary series I'm revealing a more complete picture of what my life is really like. It's not all glamorous but it's all real."
Check out a sneak peek of Ke$ha's My Crazy Beautiful Life below, which is set to air on MTV this April.

Families will love the vast green space and hiking trails, as well as the close proximity to city amenities.

What port does torrents and stuff use? I want to stop people on my home connection from using torrents etc, but i want to do it silently so as not to have a Block page etc.
So i will just do it on a port basis at the router. What ports does bit torrent use please?
Bittorrent uses a lot of ports, in fact bittorrent can use any port. But it mostly uses ports with very big numbers. My suggestion would be blocking all ports and selectively allowing as required. However, you must note that port sharing options on your router often only relate to incoming connections, allowing all outgoing connections.
You'll need a router OS which can do it. DD-WRT can iirc, which runs on a lot of consumer routers. Otherwise, as above, block high number ports (1024-65535), but theres no reason why torrents won't work on ports below 1024. Eitherway you will probably only be able to block incoming connections which will slow downloads but not stop them.
The only option (if available on your router) is to block all ports and selectively open them but you need to now every port for every app you use which may be impossible. iirc xbox doesn't use a set port, neither does msn...
Another way I can think of is to put fake DNS entries into the router or the clients. Redirect all tracker domains to 127.0.0.1. But then you will need to find out every tracker... which tbh if you block the main ones might actually do the trick as the user will get sick of looking for torrents which work.

On Preparing for The Dance of Life
(this blog is recorded on the full page: quick time player needed)
Hearing from a visiting sadhu
enlightening talk brings rain
celestial celebration jolts us
the firmament rejoices
I read till the fireworks cease
rising at 3:33 a.m.
being tired, a truth not considered
ablutions, then donning dancing dress
face and body decorated with tilak
for the stage performance, dress rehearsal
waking our Deities with grateful prayers
I hurry out the door, scurry to the car
greeted by the happy trees, plants, grass
fat and satisfied after sufficient water
driving to the Temple hearing
eternal truths lovingly spoken.
Seeing Krishna in Everything--Exemplified by Thundershowers
We have the inspiring verses in the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita (29 & 30) that describe how the yogi or devotee sees Krishna within everyone, and everyone in Krishna. This means he or she sees Krishna everywhere, and that as a result, Krishna is never lost to such a person. This gives us a clue how to endeavor to see Krishna within every situation, person, and phenomenon we encounter. That is one of our jobs as a bhakta (Krishna devotee), since the perfection of our life is to be lovingly absorbed in remembering and serving Krishna, and those that are dear to Him. One of the most feeling attractions I have for Krishna, on a human level, is His manifestation in thundershowers, since they are such a dramatic, powerful, and aesthetically pleasing display of His material energy.

Shrila Prabhupada's Appearance Day Reflections: Vyasa-puja offering 2011
Respectful obeisances to Prabhupada, and all his disciples, and granddisciples—who are the future of the Krishna consciousness movement.
(I have adopted many of the words I shared on his disappearance day last year for this occasion, as they are sill of pressing importance to me, and repetition is the mother of learning.) On the appearance day of one's guru it is customary to present an offering of glorification to one's guru, and the process given by him or her. It may be directly expressed to the guru, and/or also addressed to the general audience. After the disappearance of one's guru—or any founder of a religion or sect—many different conceptions of the guru and their teachings arise. This is an inevitable and unavoidable occurrence, and while one may favor their personal understanding, one can also do their best to understand the feelings and realizations of others, in the mood of diversity within the oneness of service to Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya. The fact that there are many different ideas as to the essential teachings of our guru can make it difficult to express one's heart—at least it is for me. Never the less, I will try to express something to honor Prabhupada along with my personal reflections about my relationship to him, and some realizations I have gleaned from my personal experience. I pray for the generosity, magnanimity, and blessings of my audience.
Krishna Janmastami—Celebrating the Descent of God
Regarding Shri Krishna Janmastami, or any appearance day of God, we could say that "God so loved the world, that He personally came to save us." There are many resources on Krishna.com to help you understand the significance of this day even if you are born in India, and that is certainly true for those unfamiliar with the culture. Holidays used to mean Holy days, but now, at least in the West and in secular society, they often are just an excuse to not go to work. Never the less, Janmastami in India, in ISKCON temples and Gaudiya sangas (association of devotes of Krishna) worldwide, is still completely connected to Krishna and seen as a spiritual day to honor God and the soul, regardless of people's conception of Divinity. It would be difficult to imagine an Xmastami ever developing!
On Seeing Through the Scriptures
Shastra chakshus means seeing, reasoning, and acting by the light of the scriptures. Everything Gaudiya Vaishnavas do, practice, and know comes from the Vedic scriptures, especially the Vaishnava scriptures. There are two important manifestations of Divinity for devotees of Krishna: the scripture Shrimad Bhagavatam, and the person who exemplifies them, or the person Bhagavatam. Of the two, the person Bhagavatam is more important, since he or she teaches us how to understand and live by the scriptures. The six Goswami disciples of Lord Chaitanya have studied all the Vedas thoroughly to give us the distilled essence of the scriptures to support the path of bhakti, in pursuit of prema (love of Krishna). Otherwise, we (or even great scholars without bhakti) can't make sense of the often contradictory statements and recommendations for people in different modes of nature.
On the Complexities of Understanding God
After weeks of very dry weather, we have finally received the mercy of rain, which has been coming down in torrents since last night. I can almost feel the living entities dancing in delight to receive such needed water. While offering mangal arotik at the temple this morning (pictured above), I thought about what an appropriate metaphor life giving rain is to the nature of Shri Balarama, whose holy appearance day is today. Balarama is the brother of Krishna, and his first expansion. He serves Krishna in innumerable ways—from being his clothes, ornaments, and worshipping paraphernalia, to the holy lands themselves, or the dhams, like Shri Vrindavan. Vrindavana is the original home of Krishna in the spiritual world, which he also manifests on this planet in India. Most importantly for us, the guru, or saintly teacher, is considered to represent Balarama, who is the original guru. Balarama gives us spiritual strength which is so helpful in remaining fixed on the spiritual path, in spite of innumerable distractions and temptations that may prompt us to give up the Godly quest, and enjoy matter.
On Benefiting Others
Q: I still don't understand why it's so wrong to benefit others.
A: Please understand the line from my poem in context. There is nothing wrong with benefiting others, as that is an important expression of spiritual advancement, but material benefits are limited. We have to go beyond material goodness without intent to serve God, as it obliges us to take another birth to reap the good karma. The real problem for every soul is being stuck in the material world of repeated birth and death, and being forced to accept conditions we—eternal free souls—don't like. Even if we have all material facilities, that doesn't guarantee happiness. This can be seen in the news from the recent tragedy of Amy Winehouse's untimely death--and there have been so many very unhappy stars and entertainers in the past who died in similar unfortunate ways. Real happiness comes from the soul, not by adding things on to our life, or even having adequate material necessities. It is good to help people get their basic needs met, but that isn't enough to give them lasting happiness—they will still get diseased, become old, die, and take birth again. Many devotees before they came to Krishna, had all the material things and positions that are touted as giving happiness, but they still weren't satisfied. Thus they and searched for meaning and fulfillment spiritually, and they found the one switch that illuminated their life and the world: Shri Krishna's devotional service.

How Sankirtana and Krishna Bhakti Satisfy the Demigods
The idea of demigods or devas is one of the many subjects in the Gita that people find confusing, especially those brought up in Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). If understood incorrectly, it may seem primitive, or be thought of as the worship of many gods. As a result, the average person's understand of Hinduism is quite skewed, biased, and one-dimensional. Since the worship of the demigods is a traditional and visible part of Vedic culture, and at least provisionally recommended in the Gita, it is important to clearly understand who these beings are. Are they real or mythical—and if they are real, what significance do that have for us? How do demigods relate to the one Supreme Power, or the Lord of the Universe? Though we Gaudiya Vaishnavas worship Krishna as the supreme name of God, He has many names (in the West, Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, or just God, or in India, Vishnu), as well as different features and aspects.
On Understanding Bhagavad Gita
Although in principle every soul is meant to understand and apply the teachings of Bhagavad Gita, certain qualifications for understanding it are required. Actually, to understand any book (especially books of wisdom), it is important to understand the author's intention for writing it, as well as his or her intended audience. We find that in the world of books, there are many genres, which attract certain people who can appreciate the themes and style of the author. For example, there are books with themes of mystery, adventure, sci-fi or thriller, romance, or many kinds of non-fiction, which include personal growth, spiritual subjects, political exposé, or biographies, etc., and many subdivisions. Each genre requires a certain kind of sensitivity to enter into the proper mood, and receive the most benefit from the book.

GENEVA, October 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
An independent study on biopharmaceutical innovation in middle-income countries was released today at the 26th IFPMA Assembly in Geneva. The report analyzed key national political and economic factors that foster biopharmaceutical innovation.
The study, Policies That Encourage Innovation in Middle-Income Countries, was conducted by Charles River Associates (CRA), an independent global consulting firm, and examined growing biopharmaceutical innovation sectors in Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Russia, South Africa and South Korea.
"In recent years, the number of countries where biopharmaceutical innovation takes place has increased, and this trend is expected to continue," said Eduardo Pisani, IFPMA Director General. "Middle-income countries are becoming increasingly important for innovative activities ranging from early-stage research to clinical development. We commissioned this report because it is crucial for governments and industry to have a clearer understanding of what stimulates and drives innovation in these countries."
The report highlighted the primary success factor as consistent long-term policy and legal frameworks. These should be coupled with effective coordination of national industrial and health policies, encouragement of collaborations between stakeholders, and adequate intellectual property protection. The report further suggests that some countries specialize in those stages of the innovation process in which they have a competitive advantage.
According to Tim Wilsdon, CRA Vice President, "Learning from the recent experience of a diverse set of middle-income countries, our report documents how targeted, co-ordinated and consistent government po

Much of the money for IT is slated for later years
Now that President Barack Obama has signed a $787 billion economic stimulus package into law, government agencies and contractors are scrambling to assemble lists of projects for which funding can begin to flow immediately. The administration and Congress have put much of their emphasis on "shovel ready" infrastructure projects that can push money into the economy quickly, but there is also a goodly sum available for technology initiatives, where the challenge is to identify projects that can benefit from an immediate influx of funding.
Focusing on so-called shovel-ready projects is helpful, agreed Robert Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. "Everyone needs to understand that timeliness is the most important thing," he said.
The economic recovery legislation contains large IT-related allocations, including $19 billion in new spending and tax incentives for health information technology, $7 billion in new spending for broadband, $4.5 billion for smart electrical grids and $4.5 billion for green federal buildings.
In a report released Feb. 13, the Congressional Budget Office said $1.7 billion would be spent on those four programs in 2009, leaving the bulk of the spending to occur in 2010 or later.
The programs most likely to benefit in the short term are those for which contracts are already in place, according to research firm Input. "Shovel-ready is a meaningful term" for such projects, said Schalene Dagutis, a project manager at Input.
Input has identified $66 billion in funding in the stimulus package — mostly for technology — that could be channeled through existing contracts. For example, there is $1 billion in funding for additional Transportation Security Administration scanners for checked baggage at airports. Using the existing contract for that technology would save time that otherwise would be spent writing new contracts or establishing new program offices.
"One of the goals is to get the money in place and moving," said John Slye, a principal analyst at Input. "Adding money to existing programs makes sense."
Shovel-ready IT spending could also be a boon for state and local governments. The U.S. Conference of Mayors on Jan. 17 issued a "Ready-to-Go" list that identified more than 18,000 infrastructure projects on which $149 billion could be spent immediately. The projects would create 1.6 million jobs in about 800 cities in 2009 and 2010, the organization said. Some of that spending will cover computers and networks.
The mayors' list includes $30 billion for energy block grants and green jobs, $7 billion for school modernization, $6 billion for public safety jobs and technology, $5 billion for airport technology and infrastructure, and $1 billion for Amtrak.
An additional $48 billion would be channeled immediately to state governments' economic stabilization efforts, of which a portion might be spent on discretionary projects such as IT. A portion could pay for school modernization and school computers, said Michael Wendy, a spokesman for the Computing Technology Industry Association. But those might be lower priorities than fiscal stabilization for some states, he added.
Much of the health IT spending is in the form of incentive payments to doctors who buy and use electronic health record systems. CBO estimates that those payments will total about $600 million in 2009 and 2010 but will jump to $4.7 billion in 2011. Even so, the marketing push to doctors is likely to begin soon, Dagutis said.
There is also an immediate opportunity for small-business owners, including physicians, to receive an accelerated depreciation tax benefit for as much as $250,000 in equipment purchases, including computers, Wendy added.
In other areas, CBO estimates that $64 million will be spent on rural broadband and $83 million for Commerce Department broadband this year. The spending jumps to $350 million for rural and $756 million for Commerce broadband in 2010 and remains high through 2014.
The quickest way to get the broadband money spent in rural and underserved areas would be to immediately issue a request for proposals for service to areas where no broadband service exists, Atkinson said. He suggested allowing all qualified companies to bid and providing funding to one company in each designated geographic area.
"I would get something on the street immediately," Atkinson said.

For the past year, as the nation's recession has affected the business of architecture with increasing frequency and force, the American Institute of Architects has remained strong, doing everything in its power to help its members weather the storm. Yesterday, however, the AIA admitted that it, too, is not immune to economic realities.
In an e-mail message sent to members late on Thursday, April 23, and acquired by ARCHITECT, AIA president Marvin Malecha explained that the institute is "feeling the impact of the recession" because of "shortfalls" in membership dues as well as convention and Career Center revenues. As a result, the institute has had to make additional cuts in operating expenses and has planned two weeklong furloughs—in June and August—for all national component staff. Malecha closed his message by noting that the institute's finances are in "good condition" and expressing confidence that the AIA will exit the recession "a stronger Institute and profession."
In an official statement e-mailed to ARCHITECT Friday morning, AIA executive vice president and CEO Christine McEntee said, "Due to the prolonged recession, we are forecasting a budget shortfall for 2009 and decided to take preemptive measures" to control expenses. The furloughs, McEntee noted, were instituted to stave off staff reductions. "It is an unfortunate necessity," McEntee said, "in order to retain all of our staff while continuing to provide service to our members."
This is the full text of Malecha's message that was sent to AIA members:
Dear Colleague:
Credit markets are slowly thawing, stimulus funds just beginning to flow, but our economy is still in crisis. The Institute is feeling the impact of the recession just as we are in our firms and practices.
The Board of Directors is undertaking a proactive assessment of all operations and services with an eye on the evolution of an Institute that is more agile and better able to meet the challenges of a rapidly transforming profession. We are closely monitoring the AIA's financial performance this year and an analysis of the first quarter revealed shortfalls in membership dues and Convention and Career Center revenues that requires us to make additional reductions in operating expenses in order to operate within our 2009 budget.
The reductions include face-to-face meetings of the Committees of the Board of Directors, staff travel, and efficiencies gained through greater reliance on technology. But the plan also reflected a desire to retain members of our national staff.
To ensure that our expense reductions result in a balanced budget, there will be a two-week furlough of all national component staff. The furloughs, from the CEO on down, are planned for the first week of June and the first week of August. As required by federal employment laws, the staff is prohibited from doing any Institute-related work, including answering phone calls and email messages during the furlough period.
While our goal is to minimize the impact on our members and customers, we also know that closing the Institute will have implications. We will structure implementation of the furloughs to ensure the least disruption of member services. We will keep you apprised as we work through the details.
The Institute's finances are good condition despite the recession, in part because of the proactive efforts such as those I just described. I am confident we will maintain our focus on providing service to our members during the economic downturn and, working together, emerge a stronger Institute and profession.

Fitness: Getting and Staying Active - Staying Active
Turning physical activity into a habit
Most people don't think about being active or inactive as a habit. But it is. And habits are affected by many things, including our work schedule, our home life, and our social life. When something becomes a habit, we don't think about it much—we just do it, like brushing our teeth.
The key to staying active is to make fitness a habit—something that you just do.
It might take a long time for you to form a habit. So start small, and keep doing an activity until you no longer think about it as something "extra" that you have to do.
When you slip up, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Figure out what happened and how to keep it from happening again. Get right back into your physical activity routine, and don't look back.
Maintaining the lifestyle
Many of the good things about being active, such as having more energy and being in a better mood, happen soon after you become more active. But some of the most important health benefits have to do with being active over many years. If you stop being active, you lose the fitness you achieved. Being consistent makes the most sense for your health.
To help make physical activity a long-term commitment:
- Set goals. Develop and follow a specific program.
- Make it a habit. Turn physical activity into a normal, pleasant, and routine part of your life.
- Get the support of friends and family.
- Expand your fitness activities through coaching, competition, and cross-training.
- Add variety to your fitness program. Change the place, activity, and time.
- Don't let reasons such as lack of time or bad weather slow you down.
- Schedule your activity for times that you're likely to keep doing it. If you don't have time for one 30-minute walk, break it up into three 10-minute walks.

Well I just bought one and yes, have the letter from the ATF, but just wanted some experts opinions.. So I hope they keep it legal, it's very fun to shoot..
I do not have one. Have never even held one but from what I have read and viewed about it, it makes bumping safer (correct me if I'm wrong). So why would they out law a safety device? People are just going to keep bumping anyway.
I agree, it's much safer, but they see it as a device that is used as a "fully auto" stock.. I'm 100% in with you as its safe and legal, but you and I both know that the liberals will turn a good thing into a harmful thing..
I thought you had to be disabled in some way per the paper work giving you the ability to manipulate you your weapon the same way for as a non impaired person for recreational shooting which I admit sounds silly, i could be totally wrong
Btw I have used this system and it works great but its not ambidextrous and you will go through alot of ammo

The fire-resistance of a mobile home depends primarily on when it was built. Homes manufactured in Florida before the national HUD standards went into effect in July of 1976 met the MHMA (Mobile Home Manufacturers Association) and State of Florida standards. The MHMA certification medallion and Florida inspection sticker shown at right are symbols of building code compliance in the pre-HUD era. We found this example recently, mounted by the front door of a 1972 mobile home in Cedar Key.
Minimal standards and, in some areas, only voluntary standards were in place—so the level of fire safety built into a pre-1976 mobile home is uncertain. But if a fire starts in a home built after the 1976 HUD standard, it is much less likely to result in death or serious injury than a pre-1976 model, according to historical fire data from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association). Also, HUD's fire safety requirements have been ratcheted up regularly over the years. One example is requiring wall linings that do not promote fire spread. So the newer your home, the more fire-resistant it will likely be.
Electrical wiring is the most frequent cause of fires in manufactured homes, followed by heating equipment, intentionally set fires, and cooking appliances. No mobile home is fireproof, but here are some things you can do right now to prevent a fire in your mobile home and increase your chances of survival if you do have one:
1)Make sure your smoke alarms work. Test each alarm, using the test button, once a month and replace batteries when they start chirping.
2)Install additional alarms in the bedrooms, especially if anyone in the home sleeps with the bedroom door closed. Twenty years ago, smoke alarms were only required to be installed in the hallway or access room to each bedroom; so most mobile homes had a hard-wired smoke alarm at each side of the living room. Today they are required to be in each bedroom too; plus, the smoke alarms must to be interconnected, so that when one senses smoke they all go off. An easy safety upgrade in an older mobile home is to install a battery-powered smoke alarm in each bedroom.
3)Have an escape plan. Every mobile home is required to have two doors to the outside with an open path to get out of the home without any lockable doors between each bedroom and the exit door. No interior remodeling should interfere with the dual escape passageways. Homes manufactured to the post-1976 HUD standard are also required to have windows in each bedroom that are openable and large enough to use as a secondary escape route. Make sure the windows still open easily, and do not have any locks or bars on them. If you must have security bars over the windows, they should have a quick-release device that makes them openable from the inside without a tool. And, yes, hold a real fire drill with the kids once a year.
4)Hire an electrician at the first sign of any electrical problems, like circuit breakers that keep popping, lights that flicker, or any electrical burning smell. Don't try to fix it yourself. More fires are caused by homeowner electrical repairs than by the original problem.
5)Smoke outside. Keep a large, non-tip ashtray nearby on a stable surface and empty it regularly.
6)Keep your skirting intact with no openings that a small animal can get into.
7)Don't store wood under or next to the home, or any flammable items such as charcoal lighter fluid or gasoline.
8)Stay in the kitchen when the range is on. Unattended cooking is a leading cause of house fires. Having a small fire extinguisher rated for kitchen fires near the range is always a good idea too.

Trip is booked! Very excited, but feeling overwhelmed. Any expert planners out there?
First off... Hello, everyone! I'm new to the board and am very happy to have found you all and be able to join in for some much needed help.
Secondly, I apologize in advance for the information overload I'm about to go into. I hope that's okay.. you all know how much there is to do in the parks.
My husband and I have decided to book our first WDW trip. We're super excited, our 7 year old has been asking for a long time and now is the perfect time for us to finally do it. She is already 48 inches, so the rides shouldn't be an issue, and I'm hoping she's old enough that she'll remember going.
We're going for 9 days/8 nights, so the first and last days will be pretty much non-eventful except for dinner the first night and maybe some time in DD. So, that leaves me with 7 days and I cannot seem to figure out a way to make it all work. I've been laying the whole week out for hours now and I can't figure out the last few things. I thought maybe you all could help me out.
Now, I know my trip isn't til June and I shouldn't be obsessing quite this much already, but I knew how important it was to book restaurants and all right away, so I have done that and now I'm trying to work in everything else around them. I haven't been since I was 15, so I'm pretty much a first-timer and I can't remember things like how long it takes to transfer parks and whatnot.
So, what I have so far...

I'm not sure if that is waaaay too much info for you all, but you guys are pros so maybe it won't be so bad.
So, my questions are..
My hubby wants to do the ESPN thing. For one.. I can't even seem to find where that is. I see the ESPN Club is on the Boardwalk, but can't tell where the complex is. Also, how long would that take for us to do? Keep in mind, I think he's going to be the only one interested, so I don't 'want' to be there long, but still want to see what there is to see, kwim? Would a few hours do it? I can't seem to find a way to rearrange the schedule in a way that allows for more than 3-4 hours to do it.
How long should I expect to be in DQ? I planned the first half of our last day, not sure if I should plan to go back after dinner or if we should be done by that point.
We will also need some resort time.. my daughter will want to take full advantage of the water slides and pool, at least a couple times.
My main issue is knowing we have to eat, but not liking how much time I'm imagining it will cut out of the day. Like when we go to Be Our Guest at 4:30.. I would think we wouldn't be walking out til at least 6:30? That doesn't leave much time to go anywhere else outside of MK. Or the night in HS where we want to see Fantasmic (says to be there 90 min early.. so 7:30).. won't be getting to HS anyway til after dinner at T-Rex at 3:30.. so 5:30-6ish? That's the only time I had set for HS except the first part of day two. I'm worried that won't be enough? Same with Epcot on day three and then what's left after Via Napoli on day seven.
*SIGH* I am very overwhelmed.
Any advice or insight would be MUCH appreciated.
Again, I apologize for the overload of information.

The Boardwalk is part of the Epcot resort area so you can walk from the International Gateway Epcot entrance (Epcot has two entrances, you'll be able to find it on a park map) to the ESPN Club. It's about a five minute walk. Maybe you can build this into a day you're visiting that particular park?
I will let some of the more experienced DIS'ers answer your other questions. They give great advice!
I've been planning a January 2014 trip since April so I know how you feel! It'll all come together in the end, though

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think ESPN is just a themed restaurant. It'll probably just require the time it would normally take your family to eat a meal.

Thanks for the reply.
So.. is the ESPN Complex or whatever it's called on the boardwalk as well as the Club restaurant?
I didn't know the boardwalk was right off of Epcot, thanks for the tip!

Lol, I'm sorry, I was confused! I re-read your question and saw that you mentioned the Wide World Of Sports ESPN Complex. I just saw ESPN and automatically thought of the Boardwalk restaurant.
I'm not exactly sure where the complex is. I think it's towards the edge of the property because I always see the entrance not long after we've crossed into WDW territory. I'm sure someone will be along to shed some light

Being your going in June there isn't going to be the Braves spring training there. It's just complexes to show games. You might see softball games.

I'm by no means a disney expert. I've been there twice, and joined this board recently to ask a couple questions about my trip.
The one thing I wouldn't do is plan my day including dining. I don't know if you did or not, but that's why I don't think the dining plan is worth it. yeah, there may be a place or two you want to go, but add those in and then just eat when you're hungry and go to where is around. To me, adding specific times for dining every day could take away from the park enjoyment.

Just my opinion here - I think your schedule jumps around too much from park to park and it seems as though it is all being based on the restaurants. Personally I think this is a mistake. You will spend too much of your day traveling between places and worrying about the time and not enjoying the moment. Best wishes!

I think your times are going to be tight to transport either after a parade to make a res or after eating to make a "show". I personally would cut back on some of the dining to free up time and make it more easy going....

I would look at a site like EasyWDW (http:www.easywdw.com) to see what are the best days to visit each park for the week you are there. You may want to shuffle some of those ADR's to visit a lower crowded park.
Although the Tour Guide Mike site has gone downhill the past few years, I think it is still worth paying for (especially for someone new to touring) - and his best days to visit a park are spot on. His touring advice was invaluable. Considering the overall cost of your vacation I think spending another $20 or whatever for his site is probably worth it. http://www.tourguidemike.com
I haven't spent as long looking at the EasyWDW site for touring plans and such so his might be superior - but take a look.
We are a family who often plans a sit down meal (usually dinner) every day and that works great for us - you just need to make sure you have the reservations where you want them!
Just briefly looking at your plan I think you are not allowing any time for a rest in the afternoon - getting up that early and staying in a park until 11pm and then getting back on the bus, then getting to sleep - you'd have to get up again at 6-7am the next day. If you are getting up early you probably need to go to bed earlier - or at least not have to get up early the next day if you stay out late the night before. Sometimes it is best to avoid EMH parks - they definitely get the most crowded!

Too much planning daily and scheduling... Why we don't do dining plans.... ADR's 180 days out... No way would dining run our vacation... We enjoy say 2 must do meals, the rest are counter service or whatever we're close to.... Nothing on property in the way of dining is a must do for us, we can eat at home in fancy restaurants but at home we don't have 4 theme parks to play in..
We dedicate our time to parks and resort/pool time ... Less hectic commando trips are not fun, a down day of say pool time, shopping, putt putt... Relaxing and smelling the roses in WDW is what our stays are about... Don't try to cram everything into one trip, never happen, you'll be over tired and miserable !! Just my 2 cents from a 40. + trip veteran!

Welcome! I think paying to access touring plans or another service is a must for your trip, as someone else suggested. I'm not sure how you created these plans- logistical they are unrealistic. your epcot day 3- is almost impossible. I think you are jumping around too much, if your entire day is navigating transportation etc, you are going to miss the magical moments & opportunities to stop & smell the roses.
Check out the trip reports here on the Dis, I think that's a good place to start & a touring plans type website.

I agree with what everyone else is saying - you are going to be wasting so much time going back and forth.
But we have never park hopped - I just don't see the appeal and I would not recommend parking hopping for a first trip. I'd cut back some - skip mini-golf and possibly DQ as well.

The ESPN Complex is over by Pop Century. I 'think' there may be a bus that runs from DHS to the complex. But, if you really want to go, I would just take a cab. Not sure how much there will be to see though. Be sure to check out their schedule before you head over there.
Here's the thing to keep in mind. There is absolutely no way you are going to be able to do everything there is to do at WDW. Many people make the mistake of trying to see it all/do it all. And by doing that, they rush through WDW, missing a lot. Take your time, slow down. Get a guidebook (I like the PassPorter) and make a list of the things you really want to do in each park. That way you can plot out your days a bit better. If you do those things, that you really want to do, then if you have any free time, you can go back and do other stuff.
But do not rush through the parks...running to and from each attraction, forgetting to see the myriad little details along the way. Disney is all about the details. And many people miss these in their haste to get to the next attraction.
Disney isn't going anywhere. You can always go back in 5 years or so. That will also be a great age for your dd!!! We thought our trip of a lifetime was the first trip we took...dd was 5!! And now? I have about 35/40 trips under my belt since '99..and dd (now 19) has about 15!!!
Welcome to the DIS boards...hang out and get some terrific info. And please, don't overplan. Yes, planning is important when going to WDW. But try not to overdo. You really need some slow time..time to stop and smell the roses.

Candia chief's persistence gets couple out of burning home
On Tuesday, flames were shooting from the barn of the Rodiers' home on Depot Road in Candia.
R ay Rodier says he is grateful to the "pushy" police chief who saved Rodier and his wife, Marlene, from a fire that destroyed a 100-year-old barn and a good part of their house.
"He broke in through the front door, and I was in the bathroom downstairs and my wife was upstairs, and he wouldn't let us finish up, he just grabbed us and got us out of there," said Ray Rodier, who served as Candia's animal control officer for 27 years until he retired a few years ago. "The chief was very, very pushy, but in a good way. He is a good guy I tell you, in fact the entire police force is great."
"...I ran to the front door, and I saw smoke coming out, but not as heavy as out back, so I forced my way inside, and helped Ray and Marlene out of the house," McGillen said. "Ray was disoriented so I grabbed him and got them both to a neighbor's house."
"Mike and I grew up together, and he is a great guy. I would give up my right arm for him," Richard said.

Area exotic pet sanctuary seeks funds for new facility
Staff Report
GERMAN VALLEY, Ill. — Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary in German Valley, Ill., is home to more than 350 small, abandoned, abused and otherwise homeless exotic and unusual small pets of 30 different types.
In operation for more than nine years, this unique rescue takes in most of their animals from shelters where they were to be euthanized because of advanced age, chronic illness, aggression or excessive fearfulness.
The animals come from all across the country, from as far away as New York and Texas, to live out their lives in this only one of its kind safe haven.
Some of these pets were found in trash bins and trash cans, some confiscated because of abuse. A few of the more exotic pets, like fennec foxes, come specifically to Critter Camp from loving owners who have had financial or health issues because of Critter Camp's national reputation for stellar care.
Tourists come from all over the world to visit the animals at Critter Camp. Up to 1,000 people a year tour the sanctuary, coming from as far away as England, Canada and even Ethiopia. Critter Camp also gives educational presentations to area schools, libraries and other groups.
Currently operated out of the director's home, Critter Camp is above capacity and ready to move to a new, larger facility to give more animals a caring, safe place to live out their lives. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization recently purchased 3 acres on Smokey Hollow Road just east of Freeport, Ill., with funds won in the Pepsi Refresh Everything contest. This land is already zoned and ready to build on.
This new building will utilize solar and wind power, composting, a greenhouse and garden, among other eco-friendly operations. The facility will draw an estimated 10,000 visitors per year to the area, thus greatly increasing tourism traffic in the northwest corridor.
The facility will eventually have several paid positions, adding jobs to the area economy as well.
To fund construction of the building, Critter Camp is kicking off their capital campaign by selling engraved porcelain tiles. All tiles will be ash gray with black infill and will be strategically placed on the interior walls as you enter the new facility and on the information desk base for maximum exposure. Interior tiles were chosen over bricks so they will be visible year round, never obstructed by snow cover.
The following sizes will be available:
• 4 inches by 8 inches, with up to three lines of text — $100;
• 8 inches by 8 inches, with up to six lines of text — $200;
• 8 inches by 8 inches, with business or organization logo and two lines of text — $500; and
• 12 inches by 12 inches, with business or organization logo and two lines of text — $750.
This purchase will be a one-time cost. There are no annual fees, and tiles will be there for many years to come. Tiles are being ordered from DonorBricks.com.
Critter Camp is taking orders now. Set aside a bit of your tax refund to honor your family, a pet, a relative or friend. Give your business exposure to thousands of animal-loving visitors, tourists and local residents. A donor tile makes a great gift, too.
Tile purchases will be acknowledged on the Critter Camp website and progress will be posted. Businesses purchasing any size tile will receive a free live link on the Building Benefactor Page, a mention on the Facebook page as well as a link in Critter Camp's weekly free e-mail newsletter going out to thousands of subscribers. As funds are raised, work will begin. First, the utilities will be connected, then site preparation, etc.
Contact Beth at Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary for more information or to place an order: (815) 266-1342 or email@example.com. Find Critter Camp on Facebook for daily updates and visit their website to learn more, see photos or order tiles online www.crittercamp.org.

I worked at Colgate-Palmolive full-time (more than 3 years)
Great benefits and still has some great people there. Most of the brands are very well know and the company store is great.
The way they treat people is very poor and much different from their posted and much talked about values and principles. It's all about the financials vs. caring and developing people. There is no work/life balance and upper management talks about how important but their actions are the complete opposite.
It needs to be all about the people. Your systems, software and P&L don't mean anything if you don't treat people well. Many people used to go to CP and stay forever even until a few years ago, not anymore. You've turned the company into what you used to poke fun at some of your competitors for.

I have to agree... society is heading that way and the Daily Mail is leading the charge in that direction...

Got GPS?
Want to show the world the ride you did last night? Upset that Garmin Connect ditched Google Maps for Bing (we are!)? Got an android with GPS and want to view your tracks?
Well, then Map Your Ride!
Log in and upload your tracks. Upload the TCX file right from your Garmin (especially if you have heartrate data). Or use the non-proprietary GPX format. It even accepts KML. Just make sure you select the correct category (even if it is "elsewhere") of riding before you upload.
And as an added bonus, you can download tracks of others and load them into your GPS if you want to duplicate someone's ride. All three formats are available for download.
The code is a little buggy, so if you upload a track and don't see it, email us. Sometimes a TCX works where a GPX failed. Give it a try and let us know how it works.

Babylon for BlackBerry lets you speak in tongues
If you happen to be a large volume Babylon enterprise customer, you now have access to their new app, which will allow you to host Babylon's dictionary application locally on your BlackBerry smartphone. It will allow you one-click access to corporate information and dictionary results, plus anywhere that text appears on the BlackBerry, Babylon will also be displayed and provide results, including well known reference content. For the rest of us, Babylon is currently developing a standard consumer-based app that is expected out in a few months.
