More is More: Why Philadelphia Wants Your Picks
The thing about this year's trade deadline is that it was revealing for what it was rather than what it wasn't. No "marquee" players moved, but a few good ones did. There were no blockbusters. But one team, the Philadelphia 76ers, traded many of its players for barely any players and a ton of draft picks. I don't believe the days of expiring contracts having value are entirely over; every GM operates differently, so to assume that they will unanimously agree on a value of anything, including and especially second-round picks, would be ridiculous. But what Sam Hinkie did on deadline day — amassing nine (yes, nine, or 9) future second-round picks — reinforces that second-rounders rightly have value, and much more of it to a rebuilding team than an expiring contract.
Their worth, obviously, lies in their cost. No player chosen between picks 30 and 60 will make more than $1 million in a season during their rookie deal, most of which isn't guaranteed, anyway. Chandler Parsons, for example, is stuck making $926K this season, per Basketball-Reference. His case is unfortunately considered rare, however, for a second-round pick. Parsons is one of the better players at his position in the league, and there aren't many second-rounders who are putting up the types of numbers he is. Jae Crowder, by comparison, is making $788K this season, and Dallas has the option to pay Crowder $915K next season. While I'm not privy to that type of information, there's not much reason to believe Dallas will not exercise that option unless it needs the roster space. He might only be an average player, but money talks louder than everything.
Believe it or not, some scouting departments are stronger than others, and the biggest reason many second-round picks do not make it in the NBA is because the people drafting them chose the wrong guy to begin with. Just because a player is drafted does not mean he belongs in the league, and just because a team has a draft pick does not mean it knows what to do with it. I'm putting my faith in Hinkie and the 76ers scouting department. I find it impossible to believe that, with five second-round picks in the deepest draft in a decade, the 76ers will screw this one up. The odds are in their favor. For every three nobodies in the second round, there are two Jae Crowders. And for every eight nobodies, there is one Chandler Parsons. Philadelphia is gambling — though "calculating" is probably the better word — that it can identify that player. Plenty of teams throughout NBA history have done it.
What if they fail? Again, the good thing about second-rounders is that their contracts can be easily shredded. This summer, Philly could wind up drafting five Jae Crowders, but I don't see how that could be considered a bad thing. I can guarantee the 76ers would rather have three Crowders than one Jan Vesely. And all five of those second-round rookies will make COMBINED what Sacramento is paying Travis Outlaw to do exactly what Crowder is doing in Dallas. Want cheap labor? The second round is full of it.
The most conceivable outcome is that Philly brings all of these guys to training camp, keeps two or three, and cuts the others. But it beats what most teams do, bringing in the same guys summer after summer knowing well in advance that they don't have a shot to make the team. Renaldo Balkman is done in the NBA, so why waste a camp spot on him when you can instead bring in one of your own guys? Worst-case scenario is they end up hopping on another roster next year, or they work on their game while playing for a D-League team (or in Turkey). This is America, after all. Bringing in more players who are fighting to start their NBA careers creates quite a bit of competition, competition that could easily spread up and down the roster, especially on one as young and ill-equipped as Philadelphia's at present. Players who are trying to revive their careers are trying to revive them for a reason, after all. Players desperate to earn their first contract will work harder. And if they don't, they're not making guaranteed money, anyway. We don't even need to go into how having five second-round picks frees up cap space for teams to surround their young guys with max-level players. That's a given.
Philly isn't reinventing the wheel, here. A strong scouting department can find Manu Ginobili at pick 57 or Parsons at pick 37. If Philadelphia's talent evaluators are as strong as Hinkie's deadline activity leads me to believe, the 76ers are about use the draft to take advantage of the same teams that have taken advantage of their poor roster in the standings all season. And they're going to do it on the cheap.

it came to my attention today that there might be some confusion with my February Class at Caliente International Resort and Spa in Florida. i updated the flyer, hopefully this helps.
the prices listed are all Per Couple, not per person. and this is a class to teach couples to work with each other, (not how to shoot couples), (the class will be fun for singles too, i promise, don't feel like you have to bring a date).
anyway, here you go:

Scott Sagan
Scott Douglas Sagan (born 1955) is the Caroline S.G. Munro Professor of Political Science at Stanford University and Senior Fellow at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). He is known for his research on nuclear weapons policy and nuclear disarmament, and has published widely on these subjects. Sagan was the recipient of the International Studies Association's Distinguished Scholar Award in 2013.[1] He currently serves as co-chair of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences' Global Nuclear Future initiative.[2]
Sagan holds a B.A. in Government from Oberlin College (1977) and a Ph.D. from Harvard University (1983). He spent the junior year of his undergraduate degree at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.[3] Before joining the Stanford faculty in 1987, Sagan was a lecturer in the Department of Government at Harvard University and served as special assistant to the director of the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. He has served as a consultant to the office of the Secretary of Defense and at the Sandia National Laboratories and the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Sagan is known for his research on the organizations managing nuclear weapons and published on the subject in The Limits of Safety: Organizations, Accidents, and Nuclear Weapons (Princeton University Press, 1993). Bruce G. Blair writes, "Scott Sagan's book [The Limits of Safety] is nothing less than a tour de force.... It is by far the most carefully researched and painstaking study of nuclear weapons safety ever written." [4][5]
He also is one of the leading pessimist scholars about nuclear proliferation, and his co-authored book with Kenneth Waltz, The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: A Debate Renewed,[6] is widely read and cited in the literature on nuclear weapons. Sagan writes in the book, "the United States and the Soviet Union survived the cold war and did not use their massive nuclear-weapons arsenals during the period's repeated crises. This should be a cause of celebration and wonder; it should not be an excuse for inaction with either arms control or non-proliferation policies."
His most recent publications include as of March 2014[update], with Daryl G. Press and Benjamin A. Valentino, "Atomic Aversion: Experimental Evidence on Taboos, Traditions, and the Non-Use of Nuclear Weapons" in The American Political Science Review (February 2013); "A Call for Global Nuclear Disarmament" in Nature (July 2012); and "The Case for No First Use" in Survival (June 2009). He is also the editor of and a contributor to Inside Nuclear South Asia (Stanford University Press, 2009).
Awards and Teaching[edit]
Sagan has won four teaching awards: the Monterey Institute for International Studies' 2009 Outstanding Contribution to Nonproliferation Education Award; the International Studies Association's 2008 Deborah Misty Gerner Innovative Teaching Award; Stanford University's 1998-99 Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching; and Stanford University's 1996 Laurance and Naomi Hoagland Prize for Undergraduate Teaching. He teaches a popular course at Stanford for sophomores called "The Face of Battle," in which students examine how strategy was translated into tactical decisions on the battlefield during key battles in American history. [7]
Sagan received the International Studies Association's Distinguished Scholar Award in 2013.

I did this weekend and it was great! My parents live about 2 1/2 hours away from my current home. We typically drive down every four to six weeks to visit.
This particular visit was really nothing special. There were no birthday parties, football games, or any other celebrations. We just visited family and friends, and it was great!
On Saturday, we stopped by a car wash being held by a local youth organization. When we pull up, I saw my nephew, his adorable girlfriend, my uncle, and several other friends from high school. My daughter even went on a pony ride and I got a clean car! It was so great to see them all!
We then walked a few blocks over to my elementary school so that my daughter could play. She had a great time and I got to visit with more family and friends.
When we returned to mom and dad's, my nephew's girlfriend played her guitar and sang for us all in an impromptu concert right on the front porch. It was just great!
We attended church with my parents the next morning where I got to see more of my long time friends. After church, my other nephew and his twin 5 month old daughters stopped by to see us. They are so precious! Finally, my longtime friend (who grew up right across they street from me) noticed my car at mom and dad's and pulled in to catch up with us.
This fantastic weekend was filled with memories, love, and the people I hold most near and dear to my heart! I may not live there any more, but that small town will always be "home" to me.
If you read this, please take a moment to send someone you love a text, an email, a phone call, or stop by to visit. We tend to underestimate the power of positive relationships in our lives. Please keep yours strong!
If you have an old hatchet you need to bury with someone who used to be close to you, please be the bigger person and extend the hand of forgiveness. Life is too short to hold a grudge.
My uneventful weekend has inspired me to love a little deeper, pray a little harder, and do all I can to lead a long and healthy life!
As you all know, life does intervene from time to time with our plans. The past couple of weeks have been crazy busy. As a result, my fitness routine and nutrition plan have suffered. I wouldn't say that I have "lost ground". I have still managed to get in my fitness minutes, but it has been a challenge.
It all started innocently enough with a faculty meeting after school. Then, there was a Leadership meeting, a student needing me to stay late to help him register for his ACT, a student who missed the bus (we had to wait over an hour for mom to show up), late paperwork, school board presentation...not to mention the county fair, Girl Scout meeting, 4-H meetings, and football games...
I dearly love all of the above mentioned things/people, but I am a creature of habit. I like to stay an hour after work to return phone calls/emails and then come home. If I didn't work out in the morning, I squeeze it in before dinner. That proves difficult when you don't get home until LONG after dinner!
Not trying to complain, I just like my time to be "my" time. It took me a long time to reach that point, and I don't feel selfish. I firmly believe I deserve it and that I need it!
Guess that's why I get "grumpy" when I don't get it!
I have been a part of SparkPeople for almost two years. I can't say enough good things about this site and this community. When I first started, I was a little overwhelmed. I didn't have a lot of weight to lose. I was primarily looking for tracking tools.
So, for a long time, that's pretty much all I used on Spark. I faithfully would log my fitness minutes and usually my nutrition. After a few months, I joined a couple of teams, but I rarely commented. I was more of a lurker and a tracker.
However, within the last couple of months, I have been blogging more regularly, commenting on other members' blogs, and am even co-leader of a SparkTeam.
Wow! This has totally changed my perception of the Spark!!! I was cheating myself of the Spark and cheating others as well. There is a wealth of support out there for anyone to tap into and use for inspiration!
Guess what??? When you offer encouraging words to others, they offer them right back!!!
I still use the trackers, but I spend some time reading and commenting on members' blogs, I update my status, and I post more on my Teams' pages. It has opened up an entirely new world of Spark to me!!!
If you aren't tapped into this tremendous positive force of inspiration on the Spark, I strongly encourage you to try it! No, it doesn't have to be as consuming (or personal) as Facebook.
Just read and few blogs and post a couple of "thumbs up" emoticons on them. I can guarantee you that those little symbols will mean so much to the author! And you might even get a Spark Goodie or similar reply yourself!!!
Don't cheat the Spark!!! Spread it any way you can!!!
For those of you who don't work in education, high school is probably just a blur of bad skin and algebra homework...
But for those of us who still go to school, it is so much more...I work as a 7 - 12 grade guidance counselor. I am so blessed to say that 99% of the time I love my job!
For instance, today our Juniors ordered their class rings and our Seniors ordered their graduation announcements...Talk about excitement! It smelled like Teen Spirit all up and down the halls today. These kids are so young, so full of life and expectations...I am honored to get to be a part of it all.
We have a HUGE football game tomorrow night against our biggest rivalry. Kids were adorned in school colors, signs have been hung all of the campus, and the band, cheerleaders, and football players have been practicing their little hearts out! They are soooooo serious about it all!
Today we also had (baked) tater tots in the cafeteria. I had to stop a herd of 7th grade boys who were literally barreling towards the cafeteria. I said, "Hey, guys, no running in the halls. There will be plenty for everyone." They responded, "But we're having tater tots today!!!" As if that was the most logical thing in the world and should give them full license to run.
I just love being around these kiddos...I think it keeps me young. I hope to be that person from their high school memories that they look back on and think, "Yes, she was great! She always spoke to me in the halls...or asked about my day...or helped me get into college..." Whatever the case may be, I want to leave a legacy with the students.
My job isn't always about the fun stuff; there is a lot of sad, too. I try to take solace in the fact that I am helping as much as I can.
Didn't mean to ramble; guess today was reflective....
I can blame it on the heat, the fact that I am back to work (with students), my monthly cycle, whatever I choose will work. Any of these excuses would also produce understanding nods of agreement from my friends and family.
Yes, I am having an off week. I want to come home from work and eat Cheetos on the couch until I fall asleep. I want to eat ice cream for dinner. I want to sleep and watch bad television...
However, I am dragging my butt off the couch, avoiding eye contact with the Cheetos and ice cream, putting on my tennis shoes and working out. Do I want to at the time? Heck, no! Am I glad I did later? You bet!
Normally, I am eager to lace up my shoes and get moving, but this week has proved to be a challenge...I've considered taking a rest week, but then I get scared...What if I let a rest "week" turn into a rest "month"??? What will happen to all of my efforts?!???
So, I am pushing through this week with effort...Cooler temps are on the way, next week should be less crazy at work, and my monthly cravings will have subsided...
I'm looking forward to next week!

Injured Sue Bird hopes to still make contribution to Seattle Storm
A 5-foot-9 point guard, Bird underwent a surgical procedure in May to repair a cyst in her left knee.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Bird in 2012Games: 29
Storm coach and general manager Brian Agler normally isn't concerned by much heading into a season — until this year.
All-Stars Sue Bird (knee) and Lauren Jackson (hamstring) will not play the 2013 WNBA season due to offseason surgeries. Add All-Star Katie Smith signing a free-agent contract to play for New York, and Seattle is without three starters from the 2012 playoff team.
"We've played a lot of games since I've been here without Lauren," said Agler of Jackson missing chunks of seasons due to injuries and the 2012 Olympics. "Not that we enjoy it, but we have a good feel for how that is. We haven't played many games without Sue."
The Storm is 2-8 without Bird in the lineup since Agler was hired in 2008.
A 5-foot-9 point guard, Bird underwent a surgical procedure in May to repair a cyst in her left knee. Bone was removed from her hip to fill a hole where the cyst was located.
She'll be on crutches at least until mid-June to let the bone heal. Bird plans to rejoin the Storm on its trip to play Connecticut. She occupies the final slot on the 11-player roster because she's rehabilitating through the team.
The approximate six-month period to get back on the court is the three-time Olympic gold medalist's longest break in a decade.
"It's not something structurally you worry about," Bird said of the knee via phone from her sister's home in Greenwich, Conn.
"My knee is essentially the same (and) I feel good," she continued. "But you have to go through the process. There's a little bit of atrophy. I have to get muscle back."
Bird, 32, plans to return for the Storm's 2014 season.
The focus, though, is helping the new faces learn Agler's system. Seattle opens its season Sunday at Los Angeles.

IPA "Longhop" (play on a longhorn)
In your IPA label, I think the bull's horns should be in front of your lettering, other than that you have some nice looking labels!
I do like how your mascot sticks out of the oval/background more in the IPA label.
I agree with schnitz about the long hop logo. But other than that they are some good looking labels keep up the good work.

Excellent change on the Longhop label. For your wheat, though no play on the cherry...Trigo del Toro?

Part Two of The Current
Thursday's Checking-In
Theatre Chill: Award-winning Canadian playwright Michael Healey wanted to address the politics of Stephen Harper's government in his art. But PROUID, his play that was the final in a trilogy was nixed. Michael Healey felt muzzled, thinking the federal government played a role in it all. Not so, Heritage Minister James Moore told us. And then we heard from you.
The End of Illness: Monday on the program, we talked to prominent California oncologist - Dr David Agus. He says we need to develop a culture of prevention against cancer - and he believes reducing incidences of inflammation is the key. Along with a healthy lifestyle of regular sleep and exercise, he advocated the daily use of statins. His views created a lot of buzz with our listeners and we shared some of their response.
Some of our listeners wrote in to question Dr. Agus' financial ties to Pfizer. So, we asked Dr. Agus for a response to these concerns.
Trans Fats: Four years ago, the federal government was talking tough on trans fats. But there still are no regulations on trans fats in Canada. And our guest yesterday Bill Jeffery says that's because the federal government quietly killed plans to bring them in. Some our listeners weighed in on the debate.
HIV/AIDs: Since 1998, about 130 people with HIV/AIDS in Canada have been prosecuted for not disclosing their status to their sexual partner. And the Supreme Court of Canada heard two of those cases yesterday. The court is being asked to clarify the notion of what poses "significant risk" of HIV transmission - and how that should be weighed when deciding whether to prosecute for non-disclosure. One of the cases is that of a woman known only as "DC." She is a young woman from Quebec who was convicted of aggravated sexual assault for not disclosing her HIV positive status to her boyfriend the first time they had sex.
DC appealed her conviction and it was overturned on the basis that her risk of transmission at the time was low. Now the prosecution is appealing to the Supreme Court. It could be months before Canada's top court gives its decision.
Meanwhile, this week, the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network and Alison Duke/Goldelox Productions released a documentary that included DC's first interview. We aired a clip with what she had to say.
Sleep Paralysis: While most of us relish the moment when we finally get to tuck in under the covers, that's not the case for people who have experienced sleep paralysis. It's a sleeping condition that traps people in a waking nightmare .personified by The Old Hag. We received lots of stories after our documentary aired last Wednesday. We shared some of our listener's experiences.
And our good friend First Time Caller shared his own unique experience with The Old Hag too.
This week's host of the Friday Edition of The Current is Jim Brown and he joined Anna Maria from Calgary to fill us in on what is on the program tomorrow.

I think this is a team that could make some noise and surprise people in the playoffs. But by no means do I think they are ready to contend. I think it is gonna take a playoff heart break to put the young guns on this team over the top. This team healthy can def give teams fits in a 7 game series. Would not be shocked to see next season having this team just be the right trade deadline move away from being a true contender.

Goal in his first game and apparently looks fantastic.
Lol. Please everyone watch the goal replay on the Colorado feed. Hilarity ensues when the guy tries to pronounce his name.

I agree with all of you. I want Weiss to do great. I hope he does, we've already wasted a year of his contract, and so far this season, he hasn't been able to play. I really think the potential of a VERY healthy Weiss lined up with Nyquist on his wing could be a nice combo. I am just so, so tired of waiting and waiting for a player X to get healthy and then hope he can return to form. This is the reason Holland doesn't do anything on the market to improve his team. He traded perhaps our top prospect last year because everyone was hurt, he had to, but it was still an overpayment especially since Legwand went on to another team. He had to lose Nestrasil because he is hoping Weiss comes back 100% and scores 30 goals again. Plus, we had no room because of the Cleary signing. I hope that Weiss does come back and returns to form, but it just seems like its a far fetched wish that will never happen...

Weiss will likely play if Franzen can't go tomorrow.

I hope so.
I'd love to have another holmstrom pan out.
I don't know how well they scouted the other late guys, but it'd be awesome to have vahatalo, ehn, or kadeykin pan out as top six or even top 9 players.
Having a 6'3-6'5 center would be amazinggggg to have with the possibility of having Jurco, tats, Nyquist, mantha, or pulks on the wing.
I know its highly unlikely any of them become stars, but its hard not to get excited about them simply because theyre hakan choices, who are huge.

I haven't read most of this thread; so I apologize if my post is off subject of the current conversation. But I feel as if a there is a perfect trade opportunity to fill the current needs of the team.
Buffalo is in full rebuild mode as of right now. There have been rumors over the past two seasons about them being willing to trade Tyler Myers. They also acquired Chris Stewart in the Miller/Ott trade. I'm not positive about it, but from what I've gathered, they acquired him in the trade to be another trading chip.
Tyler Myers is a young, giant, right-handed defenseman, whom is oozing with potential. He's obviously struggled since his rookie champaign; but he has shown that he can be a dominating shutdown defenseman if put in the right situation.
I know a lot of people have issues with Stewart... but he can be the perfect power forward for our team. He's big, right-handed, young, scores, fights, intimidates, etc... He's been quite inconsistent over his career, so far; but he's young enough to where that can be fixed with the right coach. And we do have the right coach for that.
Unfortunately it would probably take an astronomical return to get both of them from Buffalo. It would probably take AT LEAST our 1st round pick, one of Tatar/Jurco, one of Sproul/Ouellet, hopefully Franzen and/or Kindl, and either another good prospect or a good established veteran.
That is a lot to give up for two players, but I think it would be well worth it. It would fill our two biggest needs now, and in the future. Luckily we finally have a great and deep prospect pipeline, to where we can realistically pull of a blockbuster like this without destroying our farm/future.
This is my hypothetical version of what I'd love to see:
2014 1st Round Pick2015 3rd Round PickThomas TatarXavier OuelletJohan FranzenJakub KindlJoakim Andersson
Tyler MyersChris Stewart2014 2nd Round Pick (I'd do the trade even if they aren't willing to give us this pick)
Thoughts? Too much to give? Not enough to receive? Horrible idea? Great idea that perfectly fills ours needs? ...... personally, I think it's the perfect two pieces that could be obtainable. The other perfect team to make a similar trade with if this wouldn't work is with Winnipeg... Bogosian and Kane. But I feel as if that would cost us more than the trade I proposed. Also, I apologize for making such a huge post!
Make a blockbuster with Buffalo that would give us Chris Stewart and Tyler Myers. Two young right-handed players whom are oozing with potential. In my opinion, it perfectly fills our two biggest needs.

As the title asks, the Wings gave up a center a lot of scouts characterized as being as close to the next Zetterberg as there can be and a second for a 4th liner and 5 games in the playoffs. Was it worth the cost to keep the streak alive? Or should they have trusted the kids? Thoughts?
I like how Jarnkrok is already being called the next Zetterberg after 12 games in the NHL.

I'm really behind, but your costume is fantastic! So creative and perfect. I am just in awe.
Your solo adventures seem like so much fun and even inspiring. I think in a few years once DS is a bit older I might add on a couple of extra nights and go on a mini-solo trip as well.
well, all that's left now is the happy ending.

I'm glad you appreciated that! I find the old animation info so interesting.
YES OH MY GOD I WANT IT RIGHT NOW. I hope they bring that back for F&W 2013!!
Thank you! No it isn't. I got it from http://whosits.bigcartel.com/ but it is no longer available. If you really wanted it you could always e-mail and ask if they would make you one.
I know! I love taking my time and looking at all the details.
hahaha you sound like a great mom!! That is excellent!!
AHHH I KNOW! 6 days, it's just unbelievable!
Oh that would be just wonderful.
It's lovely and relaxing but at some point I'm just like ahhh can we hurry it up now?! lol.
Thank you!!! SEE YOU SOON IN DISNEY!!!
Thank you! No I did not, I am WAYYYY behind. No spoilers please!
Have you tried it? B/c like i have said I am the WORST at drawing but somehow this animation class just brings out some talent in me! It's Disney magic.
I know, I so prefer entering Epcot through the IG. I wish the boat was a bit faster but honestly it is so relaxing. I love that you made LeFou's Brew, that's awesome!!!
It was delicious!
They really are. I hope you get to do that someday. On the flip side, I can't wait to take my future children someday!!
Love Always, Lia

Holy moly there have been a lot of updates!!!!
For starters it looks like you had an AMAZING time at your second MNSSHP. I'm so glad you got to hang in New Fantasyland. I'm really wishing I had volunteered for a part in Enchanted Tales with Belle (I think it would have made the whole experience a bit more).
Secondly, you are beyond adorable. From reading your trip report I had a feeling you're a super excitable and bubbly person, but watching the video you posted you are all that and more. Seriously I can't believe you live your life with such enthusiasm. It's awesome!! And seriously how cool is it that you met a "friend" of Eugene's! I would have just died on the spot.
And again clearly we were following the same trip plan because my mom and I spent Saturday at Epcot as well. Seriously it is only a matter of time before I see myself in one of your photos (or find you in one of mine). Looks like you were having a great day.

GAH! I love your Pluto drawing! So awesome! I've been telling the kids about the Animation class and we are sitting here at the table practicing our Mickey Mouse! DH says he really wants to do the class so I foresee a framed collection of our art on the wall in the near future.
Quite the breakfast of champions! But it's Disney. Everyone's a kid. Anything goes!
I am oddly relieved that you did not partake in vodka at 11:30 AM. I only know you from reading your TRs, but I can only imagine the scope of your excitement when powered by alcohol!
I need to remember to banter when talking to the characters! So much fun to be had!
Lia, your TRs remind me of my younger days when I traveled alone and embraced the freedom I had to try new things. I can only hope that my kids grow up with a similar free spirit! Keep having fun!! Never grow up! And post more soon!!

Hi Lia,
Just wanted to join in and say- I LOVE your trip report. I have literally spent the last two days reading this one!! Now I am all caught up and I am just going to have to go back and read your past ones!!!
I have to tell you how wonderful and detailed your reports are!!! Seriously you could write a book and we would all buy it!!!
I can't wait to read what happens next when you are STUCK in Disney!!
Thank you for sharing your trips!!

I love love love your trip report. Kind of wish I knew you in real life! I just drew Pluto in our animation class yesterday. The animator faked us out and told us we were drawing Hades which apparently is the Greek name for the Roman god, Pluto. I seriously thought we were drawing the villain in the Hercules movie! Our Pluto was from the side
Pretty happy how it turned out.
I'm literally sitting at the airport right now waiting to fly home and reading your trip report to hold on to the magic as long as possible. I'm psyched for your next trip report. You and Jess together? Omg.
My apologies that the pic is so huge! I did it on my phone and had no idea how big it was going to be. Eek.

I really did, it was the best. You can always volunteer next time!
Thank you so much! Honestly, I am not like that at all in every day life. But Disney... oh forget it.
That is really so weird! We probably walked by each other multiple times!
Very true. :D
Oh trust me... I was relieved too. Let's not get into my drunk stories here LOL.
The characters are so fun to chat with! I have to think of some interesting things to say to them to see what they'll say back for next time.
Aww that's great, thank you so much!! I WILL NEVER GROW UP. No one can make me!!
Love Always, Lia

Day 7, Part 3 In Which WHERE ARE YOU PAUL?!?!?!?! =(
HI everyone!!! I actually planned on posting 3 updates tonight, but 2 of them got TOTALLY DELETED. I AM SO MAD. I have to do them over after work tomorrow. Ugh.
So this update is not the best but enjoy it anyway!
Also, today is Jess's birthday!! So go over to her TR and give her lots of birthday wishes!!!
Okay onto the update!!
Once I got to Norway, I looked around a bit and saw NORMAN JR!
So I had to text Kristen and Jess about my deer sighting. If you not know about Norman, you need to go read or re-read the Frump TRs immediately. (:
I then went on the attraction I should have simply rushed to as soon as entering Epcot. Sigh, what a mistake I made.
@babybritney: Ready to get in line for the 90 minute Maelstrom wait. Whew. Mobbed I tell you. MOBBED!
Maelstrom is a Fastpass and Thank God for that!
I went on, obviously. BEST RIDE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Trolls and polar bears, you guys. Trolls and polar bears.
Once I reached Mexico, I walked straight to Canada so that I could get Cheddar Cheese Soup. Duh.
As soon as I rounded that bend, it was like someone snapped their fingers and dropped every single person in Disney World RIGHT THERE.
It was about noon, so I should have been expecting this. The Showcase was pretty empty from opening until then, but once noon hit, my God.
I am not used to crowds in Disney World. I know that sounds crazy, but in all my trips I have only gone during a busy season twice, during two different Augusts. Even then, it was nowhere near as bad as this.
Not only could you barely move, the lines at the booths were absurd. Now, I would wait on a Toy Story Mania-level line for Cheddar Cheese Soup if I had to, so I didn't really care. However, I was very glad that this was the last thing I had on my agenda for World Showcase right then, so I could get the heck outta there!!!
Not only did I get my Cheddar Cheese Soup, I got the Moosehead Beer again to go with it. I decided I aught to try this whole early in the day drinking thing. It seemed to be very fashionable to do this in the World Showcase, what with people downing vodka and tequila left and right. Either that or I encountered some very specific alcoholics.
As SOON as I got my order I took off into Future World and found a place there to sit and eat.
It was insane to see the droves of people hurling themselves toward the World Showcase. I mean, trust me, I understand. That's where they keep the Cheddar Cheese Soup and the Hot Foreigners, so it was appropriate urgency. I had just never seen anything like it before, except maybe right after Wishes ends at the Magic Kingdom and everyone tries to get out at once. It was that kind of madness.
When you are planning your Food & Wine Festival trips, do not go there on the weekends. This is when all the Orlando locals come. During the week, it is not crowded at all and you will have a marvelous time!
I went into the Land so I could breathe in the smell and also get a Soarin' fastpass.
The verdict on early day drinking is that I do not like it. I did not have a taste for it at that hour, and kind of had to struggle to drink whatever amount of it that I did. It's okay though, I'm sure life will eventually kick my butt enough to the point where I greatly enjoy/require drinking at noon. Give it time.
There was a super adorable Halloween display by the Garden Grill.
I love the Goofy and Stitch ones!!
Aww. Farmer Mickey & Minnie!
I loved it anytime I saw little Halloween touches like this throughout the parks. PERFECTION.
After getting my Soarin Fastpass, which wasn't good until like 7pm, I went over to The Seas to ride Nemo and visit Our Frogfish Friend Paul.
You may remember from my previous update during Day 2, I mentioned it was the last time I saw Paul. That was accurate. This was the first day he was missing. :'( At the time I thought it was just random so I didn't even think to ask. However, HE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN TO THIS DAY.
The crazy thing was, I saw the other, way less popular Frogfish (Ringo) ACTUALLY SWIMMING! It was crazy. In all the times I have visited this tank, it's always been just laying there looking deceased.
It wasn't swimming as much as it was just gliding through the water. You can see here that it is not just sitting at the bottom of the tank:
So that was cool. You go Ringo! I just hope they get him a new buddy sometime soon. Paul, wherever you are, I LOVE YOU!
Next, I went on Mission: Sinise.
Orange Side: More Intense Training, obviously. Is there any other kind?
That ride usually wakes me right up but I don't think it had that effect this time. It's always a good idea to drink beer in the morning and then go on a head exploding ride, though. I recommend it!
I really just wanted to go back to my room and take a nap, but I HAD to use my Toy Story Mania Fastpass! Again, I thought I was leaving the next day. So it was very necessary. I still had awhile to go, so I walked all the way back to World Showcase and took the Friendship Boat again. That alone takes a long time so by the time I got there, my FP was almost ready! I mosied around for awhile and got there almost EXACTLY at my FP time. Yay!!!
@babybritney: I am not your mother. BREAK THOSE PLATES!
After that, I went STRAIGHT back to All Star Movies to crash.
I had wanted to have a more full "last full day", but it was just not in the cards. Despite popular belief, there are times when you MUST sleep in Disney. I know, I know, it sounds like madness. But consider it if you are tired!!!
Even with my nap I actually did a ton this day, so no one's mad. I felt SO much better after that too.
I slept for almost three hours and then packed a bit.
@babybritney: I love MNSSHP so much that if it was running again tonight I'd pay a 3rd time, get all dressed up again, and go. AHH. TIME TO BOOK OCT 2013.
HAHA. Little did I know, I would get to go a 3rd time! So much was about to happen and I didn't even know. I was about to get #STUCKINDISNEY!
I changed into my Mickey head skirt that I wore to Artist Point days earlier. I had another Signature ADR so I wanted to look a bit nice! Still wore my Crocs though. :D #class That's my signature Signature outfit tbh.
Before dinner though, I had to stop at Epcot. I had a Soarin' Fastpass I had to use! I had not even been on it yet this trip.
Oh, how I love Epcot at this time of night. The sun is just starting to go down and SSE looks even more beautiful than usual.
First, I stopped in Club Cool. Gotta have my Chinese and German soda!
Up Next: Soarin and my AMAZING DINNER ADR!
Love Always, Lia

I was SO BEHIND on updates, but I'm all caught up now! Your MNSSHP posts just get me so freaking excited for our first party this year! We are going on the 27th, so I'm a little worried about it being so close to Halloween, and getting everything done that I want to do with Paxton before he passes out in the stroller! SO. MUCH. TO DO! Can't wait to read about your 3rd (!!) one!
Can't believe how much you got done in the morning after partying with Mickey all night...APPLAUSE! That's pretty amazing. And so is that Rapunzel shirt. OMG how adorable. Just went to look at their website and I LOVE the Pride Rock shirt but not my size. I'll have to stalk their website from now on...As if I don't have enough Disney shirts, but whatever.
Adorable pics with Belle. I love seeing her in her town outfit! And you can't beat playing soccer with hot Germans (except maybe if they had been hot Italians ).
Looking forward to the rest, and hey, YOU ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD SO SOON YAY!!

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 11, 2010 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] and partner Bell Helicopter delivered two MV-22 Osprey Containerized Flight Training Devices (CFTD) to the U.S. Marines at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in California in the last quarter of 2009.
"Before the deliveries to Miramar, Marines would have to spend months at a time in North Carolina for training," said Mark McGraw, Boeing vice president of Training Systems & Services. "Having two trainers in California increases warfighter availability while allowing the Marines to train more crew members at once."
The CFTD trains aircrew on basic aircraft familiarization and handling qualities, systems/sub-systems operation, communication, malfunctions, day and night flying, use of night vision goggles, formation flying, aerial refueling and landing on ships. The device is intended to train crews for any task that might be performed in the aircraft, while limiting the monetary and environmental costs and safety risks of in-flight training.
"We thank Miramar's warfighters for lending us their expertise," said McGraw. "They participated in pre-acceptance testing 'flyability' trials and provided around-the-clock availability for the acceptance testing."
Boeing has delivered a total of three CFTDs to the Marines to date. Two more of the devices are scheduled for delivery to Miramar in mid-2010. Another CFTD will be delivered to MCAS New River, N.C., in fall 2010, where it will join the first CFTD, which Boeing delivered in 2007.
All CFTDs can be locally networked to one another to allow for more robust training capabilities. The CFTDs at MCAS New River also will be able to network with AV-8 Harriers at MCAS Cherry Point, N.C.
Cost and cycle time have been progressively reduced for each CFTD, while simulator quality has increased. The projectors are sharper and clearer than those on earlier Osprey simulators. Future CFTDs will include additional improvements.
The V-22 Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft manufactured by Boeing Rotorcraft Systems and Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. [NYSE: TXT] company. Bell and Boeing are teamed in a Strategic Alliance Agreement for the design, production and sustainment of the V-22.
Bell Helicopter, a wholly owned subsidiary of Textron Inc., is an industry-leading producer of commercial and military, manned and unmanned vertical lift aircraft and the pioneer of the revolutionary tiltrotor aircraft. Globally recognized for world-class customer service, innovation and superior quality, Bell's global work force serves customers flying Bell aircraft in more than 120 countries.

- child sexual abuse;
- prevalence;
- screening questions
Use of contextual information and behaviorally specific questions have been found to detect higher rates of child sexual abuse (CSA); however, no study has examined the use of contextual information or question type within 1 study. This study examined 236 college students randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: noncontext/label questions, noncontext/specific question, context/label questions, context/specific questions. Reported history of CSA did not differ across presentation of videotaped contextual information. However, respondents endorsed behaviorally specific questions significantly more (32%) than label questions (9%). Results suggest that researchers and clinicians attempting to detect childhood victimization history should utilize multiple behaviorally specific screening questions.

Transportation Worker Identification Credentials are used at the Port of Baltimore and other key transit hubs, but the TWIC program remains a work in progress. (Photo: U.S. Coast Guard)
Lawmakers are raising questions about whether the Department of Homeland Security's biometric Transportation Worker Identification Credential program is on track and providing any real security value.
At a June 4 Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, ranking Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma asked the panel of federal port security officials how truck driver Jeffrey Savage used his TWIC card to enter Naval Station Norfolk in March and fatally shoot Petty Officer 2nd Class Mark Mayo. Savage had a previous manslaughter conviction when he applied for the TWIC.
TWIC applicants with a voluntary manslaughter charge applying for the credential now would initially be denied a TWIC, replied Steven Sadler, assistant administrator for intelligence and analysis at the Transportation Security Administration. That ruling could then be appealed, he said.
The card, which contains the bearer's fingerprint data and is supposed to be available to card readers at critical port facilities, has been controversial almost from the program's inception. The rollout process, and the screening of the card-holders, remain a point of contention for the agencies using TWIC, the largest standardized biometric identification program used by the federal government across industries.
TWIC cards are issued by the TSA to transportation workers, such as port employees and truckers, who have access to potentially sensitive infrastructure, to ensure they don't pose a security threat. But readers for the cards haven't been installed at all port facilities.
The program has faced numerous delays and technical difficulties since it was launched under the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. Lawmakers and Government Accountability Office officials have long voiced their frustration with the program.
"Are we doing anything with TWIC? I get it. The goal makes sense, but the concern is, how are we enhancing port security overall?" Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) asked during the hearing. "Are we doing better?"
"Compared to nothing," responded Stephen Caldwell, GAO's director for homeland security and justice issues. "You don't have people getting the cards who have committed espionage against the U.S. or who have committed terrorism crimes, but that's a pretty high bar." He conceded, however, that the program was originally aimed at preventing a dire national security incident, not comparatively lower-level offenses.
"We had concerns about the program all along," he said, noting that the Navy no longer uses TWIC as a stand-alone credential in the wake of the Norfolk shooting.
A report presented at the hearing by Caldwell noted that while the TSA and Coast Guard have been administering the TWIC program, they have not implemented GAO's 2011 recommendations to assess weaknesses in the program.
Sadler defended the program, noting that it is the first time any government agency has tried to find out exactly who is accessing U.S. ports and to establish some kind of control over the sprawling facilities. "I'm not sure before who knew nationally who was going in and out of the ports," Sadler said. "Every single day we have one common standard, one credential with one common background check. In some places, you once had to buy multiple credentials in the same state."
