text: Federation of Parents and Citizens' Associations of New South Wales e-Bulletin Tuesday, 27th April 2009 – Edition 35 THIS WEEK'S THOUGHT – Di Giblin What a busy term we had - hope the holidays have given families an opportunity to revive for what appears to be an even busier time Laptops4 learning This term will see the beginning of the rollout for laptops across NSW Secondary Schools. Starting with the teacher laptop roll out in June and July, students in year 9 look to see their laptops as early as July. Laptops will go to all Year 9 students in 2009 and be available to students in Years 10,11 and 12 on a 1:2 ratio. Further information and questions and answers can be found on this link; https://detwww.det.nsw.edu.au/deptresources/majorprojects/laptops4learn/index.htm Building the Education Revolution Science Labs and Language Centres Principals will have received two emails from Alastair Hunter in regards to the BER Science and Language Centres for the 21st Century Secondary Schools. This part of the program is worth $1 billion dollars. The timing of this program is very tight and as indicated in the email Principals have been asked to complete a Zoomerang survey by Friday 1st May 2009 indicating their nomination for this part of the BER program. The Zoomerang survey can be found at: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey.zgi?p=WEB228XBZ5UUW2&store=1 Unfortunately schools can only apply for either a Science Laboratory refurbishment or a Language Centre. The survey has been designed to take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete. It is so important that as a public education system we take every opportunity to improve the standard of facilities that we have can have for our schools. It is a requirement of the application that the school's P&C Association be consulted. Tim Jones is now a Principal Liaison Officer with the BER Science and Language Centres program, and he is bringing his school expertise to the benefit of all schools Applications for funding will be assessed against the following criteria: • Demonstrated level of disadvantage • Identified and demonstrated need for the specified building • Capacity to build the facility within the specified timeframes • Effective and efficient use of Commonwealth funding • Extent to which the project incorporates sustainable building principles Please remember that this is a Federal Government job creation program first and foremost, and needs to be done quickly, so we need to make sure that we work together with the BER people to make it happen effectively but with input from schools. Various principals have been brought into consultation roles to try to make it work in the best interests of schools. P&C Federation have been a part of the discussions and are part of the panel determining the prioritisation of the applications for forwarding to the Federal Government Further information can be found: https://detwww.det.nsw.edu.au/deptresources/majorprojects/ber/index.htm IBM TO SUPPLY WIRELESS ACCESS TO NSW SCHOOLS New South Wales will spend a further $70 million over three years to ensure secondary school students in the state are the nation's most digitally savvy. The Rees Labor Government has awarded a wireless network contract to IBM Australia that is set to create more than 100 new jobs. IBM will fit out 463 secondary schools with wireless network access so 232,000 secondary school students and 25,000 teachers can benefit from the federal Government's $2 billion so- called digital education revolution. In total NSW has a $386 million budget for the computers in schools program, with work opportunities hundreds of people in the offing. Students will use the 300 megabits per second wireless network installed by IBM to access the internet on their Lenovo 'netbooks' or mini-laptops. http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25391313-15306,00.html Annual Conference 2009 The Federation's Annual Conference will be held at Penrith Panthers, Mulgoa Road, Penrith on July 31, August 1 and 2. P&C Associations across the state are encouraged to send up to three delegates to this conference. Details and Notice of Intention to attend have been mailed and emailed to all Public Schools in NSW. Details are also up on our website: http://www.pandc.org.au/annual-conference.seo. Take care Di Giblin 2009. NAPLAN 2009 In 2008 The National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy was introduced for all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. The purpose of the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is to assess the literacy and numeracy learning of students in all Australian schools. The results of these tests will provide useful information for teachers and parents. In particular, they will help inform teachers in their ongoing efforts to address the literacy and numeracy needs of their students. In NSW the NAPLAN tests replaced the Basic Skills Tests (BST), English Language and Literacy Assessment (ELLA) and Secondary Numeracy Assessment Program (SNAP). In 2009 the dates for the National Assessment Program will be Tuesday May 12 – Thursday May 14. For more information: http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/learning/7_12assessments/naplan/index.php AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLS NATIONAL SORRY DAY – SHARING A JOURNEY OF HEALING MAY 26TH 2009 Sorry Day is held annually on the 26th May, members of the National Sorry Day Committee have been delighted by the interest and support of so many schools throughout Australia, who already recognise and commemorate this very important day. In 2007 the NSDC launched the Australian Schools National Sorry Day program. The NSDC saw this as an opportunity to extend the existing partnership of support, by inviting every school throughout Australia to unite on the 26th May in commemorative and celebratory events, across the nation. To symbolise this united activity and to further celebrate the historical Apology, the NSDC invites every school to install the Stolen Generations Track Home in their school on the 26th May. Each year, National Sorry Day has a theme, and the 2009 theme is: 'Sharing a Journey of Healing' This theme has been inspired by the 10th Anniversary of the Journey of Healing, the launch of the NSDC Journey of Healing Tour and the healing initiated by the 2008 National Apology to the Stolen Generations. Holding an Australian Schools National Sorry Day event on 26th May 2009 will be the ideal way to commence Reconciliation Week celebrations and to further the reconciliation process. To find out more about the Australian Schools National Sorry Day, the Stolen Generations Track home, resources, other suggested activities and merchandise, or further inquiries, visit the NSDC website at: www.nsdc.org.au PARENTS VICTORIA ONLINE CONFERENCE 18- 24 MAY 2009 Parents of primary and secondary students, in all locations, are warmly invited to take part in the third online conference to be held by Parents Victoria.

The commonwealth will spend $15.9 million on surveying children in their first year of school for the Australian Early Development Index (AEDI). "The AEDI will help us paint a better picture of the health and development of Australian children by the time they start school," education minister Julia Gillard said in a statement. "The data collected... can be used to better target and develop support and services that can help children in their first five years of life." Schools have been told the data would not identify individual children. Teachers will be asked to fill out the questionnaire over the next two months. It covers physical health, wellbeing, social competence, emotional maturity, cognitive skills, communication skills and general knowledge. Ms Gillard said the questionnaire wasn't compulsory but "all parents, schools and communities will be encouraged to participate". Preliminary results are expected to be available from late 2009 http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/primary-schoolers-quizzed-on-health-20090427- ajvr.html MANY CHILDREN 'UNPREPARED' FOR SCHOOL: SSTU Education groups in West Australia have backed an international study which reveals many students do not have the social and verbal skills necessary to start school. The British research says many students are not properly prepared for school, and some are unable to dress themselves or use the toilet. The State School Teacher's Union (SSTU) says it is a similar story in Western Australia, and it is not limited to children from low socio-economic areas. The President of the SSTU, Anne Gisborne, says working parents need to find time to prepare their children for school. "So that they can pay attention, and provide that time that's required for their children," she said. A spokesman for the West Australian Council of State School Organisations, Rob Fry, agrees. "There's no doubt that the very early years of a child's development are the most important and set the foundation for the life ahead," he said. The West Australian Minister for Education, Liz Constable, says the government is focussed on parenting and early education. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/04/06/2535967.htm BEST, BRIGHTEST 'TO TURN TO TEACHING' Graduates originally headed for careers in law, engineering or accountancy will instead pick up pieces of chalk and march into Victorian classrooms next year, says federal Education Minister Julia Gillard. Under the Teach for Australia plan unveiled on Tuesday, top university graduates will be coaxed in front of blackboards with the offer of fast-tracked teaching degrees, mentoring and a guaranteed corporate career after they leave the classroom. "This is about high performing graduates doing an accelerated teacher education program, going out into schools and making a difference, supported in partnership with some of our big corporations and the Business Council of Australia (BCA)," Ms Gillard told ABC Radio. http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-national/best-brightest-to-turn-to-teaching- 20090421-adxb.html CHILDCARE CURRICULUM COULD INCLUDE CAREER COUNSELLING The committee drawing up the nation's first childcare curriculum has been told that toddlers in daycare should be given early career counselling. Kate Castine, who runs the Principals Australia career education project on behalf of the federal Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, is calling for "career development concepts'' to be included in the new curriculum to be introduced nationally by July 1. Her concern is that little children rarely think beyond what their parents and relatives do for a living." The argument that children should be exposed to career development concepts at an early age has been endorsed by current worldwide research,'' she wrote in comments posted on the department's official online forum, seeking feedback on the latest draft of the "early-learning framework''. Research showed students as young as six could identify what they wanted to do when they grew up, Ms Castine told The Weekend Australian. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25287657-12377,00.html PUSH TO CONSIDER NATIONAL SCHOOL CERTIFICATE Australia should consider developing a national certificate to replace the VCE and other state- based secondary school qualifications, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development says. The idea is one of several educational measures the OECD recommends that Australia take in a report released yesterday. The report says there are significant differences between states in the basic structure of schooling, which create difficulties for people who move interstate. It praises the national curriculum — which is due to be introduced in 2011 — but says a national certificate is "likely to be more effective at standardising the content and the outcomes of Australian secondary schools than the national curriculum alone". http://www.theage.com.au/national/education/push-to-consider-national-school-certificate- 20090420-acrm.html SENSORY PLAY 'KEY TO BEATING AUTISM' A visiting US autism expert says that while the disorder has no cure, many children with it can be taught to be so "functional" they overcome its most incapacitating features. The key, says Dr Richard Solomon, is for parents of autistic children to intervene early with sensory-focused play which, he adds, may at first feel counter-intuitive. One in every 160 Australian children aged between six and 12 will have an Autism Spectrum Disorder, a range of neurobiological disorders with an unknown cause which affects development of communication and social skills. http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/sensory-play-key-to-beating-autism-20090406- 9u49.html RUDD PROPOSES EDUCATION GUARANTEE At A Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting later this month, the federal government will propose that every Australian under the age of 25 is guaranteed access to a school, training or higher education place. "I will not stand idly by and watch a generation of young people have their potential, their talents and enthusiasm wasted in an economic downturn,'' Mr Rudd said. Students who had not completed year 10 should remain in school and those under 17 years should be engaged in full-time education or work, he said. The government will also move a motion at COAG to bring forward the goal of 90 per cent year 12 or equivalent attainment from 2020 to 2015. "That will mean starting now,'' Mr Rudd said. The measures were central to the government's education revolution and would support young people to weather the storm that lay ahead in an employment market that would be more difficult to negotiate, he said. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25292324-5005961,00.html CASH BOOST URGED FOR POOR UNI STUDENTS University vice-chancellors expect more money in the federal budget for poor students, saying excessive part-time work is interfering with their studies. University of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor James McWha said too many students had to work "excessive" hours to make ends meet. Professor Alan Robson, chair of the Group of Eight board of elite universities (of which Adelaide is one) and board member of peak group Universities Australia, said both bodies had lobbied the Federal Government to lift support. http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,27574,25300290-2682,00.html GOVERNMENT UNDER PRESSURE TO REGULATE ALCOHOL ADVERTISING The Federal Government is under growing pressure to regulate alcohol advertising in sport, after a key industry player pledged to introduce a year-long ban on TV ads before 9pm. Family First's Steve Fielding, doctors and health groups are calling on the Government to legislate to ban alcohol advertising during daytime sports programs. The Distilled Spirits Industry Council of Australia (DSICA), which represents about 80 per cent of the industry, has announced its members will begin phasing out advertising. By July 1 this year, DSICA members, including Bacardi Breezer maker Bacardi Lion and Jim Beam Brands Australia, won't advertise on TV before 9pm. But the self-imposed ban is only for 12 months, when its impact on binge drinking will be assessed. Australian Medical Association president Rosanna Capolingua says the Government must convene an urgent summit on alcohol advertising. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25284075-12377,00.html SCHOOL PRINCIPALS BACK BETTER EDUCATION ABOUT FARMING Australia's primary school principals are backing a plan by Australia's farmers to educate school students about agriculture. The National Farmers Federation is setting up the Primary Industries Education Foundation to quash what it says are myths about farming and the rural sector. The foundation is being set up with the backing of peak bodies, educators and the Federal Government. President of the Australian Primary Principals Association, Leonie Trimper, admits there's a lack of understanding about farming. "We know in particular that a lot our city children do think that you just go to the supermarket and just take the carton of milk off the shelf," he says. "So I think this will be a a good resource." http://www.abc.net.au/rural/news/content/200904/s2547413.htm CANCER COUNCIL AND YOUR FAMILY, ALL AT NO COST!

Nice looking bike - enjoy it and be safe.
Looks nice, shag. Watch that throttle, especially if the road: is wet, oily (center lane), or has any debris at all (gravel and wet leaves are like ice), and while turning.
As far as the brake thing, most of your stopping power comes from the front. When you get comfortable and used to the bike, try some emergency stops if you have the road to yourself. Then try a hard stop with only the rear brake. You'll see. To brake properly, apply both brakes evenly at the same time.
Doing a quick saftey check is a good habit to get into. I've had two tires with splits in them, losing a tire on a bike is a bad situation real fast. Brake fluid, lights, etc. Leather is tops for bikes, I'd invest in it if you haven't already.
Most of all, watch out for the other idiots on the road. Most people look for cars while driving. Keep your bright headlight on unless its dark around traffic.
Happy riding!
Feral cat waterboarder
Can't stress enough that most of your braking power comes from the front brake. the front brake - use it!! All the time!
There is a myth - widespread in the Harley community - that using the front brake is the route to disaster - to only use back brake.
This couldn't be further from the truth!
Please take a state sponsored riding course so that you will get the proper brake instruction - unbiased by the Harley crowd. Or at least pick up one of the excellent riding instructional books available - David Hough has a couple - and other authors.
That technique of back brake primary is dangerous...
Learn about it and you will understand why - it's not just severely limited braking power - but you are setting your self up for what is known as a "high side" crash - where you fly over the bike --- due to locking of the rear wheel and a subsequent sideways yaw of the bike --- and disaster...
Please learn...
Learn from others on that one. Your front brake IS your friend. That rear wheel locking up can be potential for disaster. MSF course should be a must without a doubt. Best $275 you'll spend on your new hobby.
At some point you will need to hit the front brake so hard the back wheel will come up. Practice hard stops with the front brake, I once had a biker buddy cut me off. We were riding in a pack of sport bikes and the guys in front rode a wheelie over the crest of a hill in town. On the other side of the hill was a cop running towards his car. The guys in front turned left, most of us kept cruising straight doing no wrong. I just happen to see my buddy on my right follow the guys that turned left. I hit the front brake hard and brought the back wheel of my FZR1000 up a couple feet, released the brake and kept the ride up and going. Front brake is your friend!
Remember the battle of Athens, TN!
"Work as if you were to live 100 Years, Pray as if you were to die To-morrow." --Benjamin Franklin
Hey y'all, don't mean to bring up an old thread (i'll get cake later) but I had a question about my FZ6r's rear brake. I've had it sitting in storage most of the winter and when I went to ride it around my parking lot this week (I've been doing upgrades so I haven't really been riding) the rear brake wasn't responding. I had my roommate check it out since he's grown up around motorcycles and after he confirmed what I thought of it not responding, we took the caliper off. We noticed the piston that pushes against the pads wasn't moving as I pressed on the brake lever. Is it just seized up and needing a good flushing and new fluids or would it be the caliper? There was brake fluid in the hoses
I'd guess it is the piston, but, you'll figure it out before you take it out again...

Hello! I am going to start with a skin question not related directly to my kids and will be back after reading more on this board to ask about my 2 year old who has horrible skin.
Anyway, I am dealing with psoriasis and something else (can't remember the name) in my scalp. Itchy, scaly, loss of hair. Today I was prescribed Desonide ointment and Fluocinonide Solution to use only at night for 2 weeks straight and then as needed. I am getting conflicting info on whether these are safe to use while nursing my 4 month old. I'm assuming you guys would be good help in this area since many are using these meds directly on their LOs (I use desonide on my 2 year old as well).
Please help! I am so thankful I came across this board while googling because my daughter has a lot of issues as well.

Esprés Nails and Spa's massage therapists melt away tension using Swedish, deep-tissue, hot-stone, prenatal, shiatsu, foot-massage or reiki techniques. Spagoers who choose the first option feel smooth, flowing strokes sweep over tense feet, relaxing tendons drawn taut after too many games of beach racquetball. 20-minute detoxifying ionic foot baths then soothe feet when negative ions dive into warm water and lie in wait under the waves to drag toxins out of toes.
At The Derma Spa of Toledo, owner Liandra Hernandez leads a staff of complexion-improving aestheticians. To infuse faces with renewed youth, the specialized team harnesses services that include everything from cranberry mask facials and microdermabrasions to signature facelift peels consisting of vitamin C, glycolic acid, and enzymes. But crows' feet, third ears, and other signs of aging aren't the only things the crew can remove. Aestheticians can also vanquish acne with specialized treatments and wax away unwanted hair.
At Refresh Center for Wellness & Cosmetic Therapy, there's an on-staff specialist for almost every aesthetic need. Two registered nurses perform Botox and dermal-filler injections, and two Xtreme Lashes stylists apply extensions to peepers. The staff also includes licensed massage therapists and makeup artists, all of whom make use of green products free of parabens, artificial dyes, sulfates, and cooties. At the helm of the ship is Dr. Afser Shariff, a board-certified surgeon tasked with overseeing all noninvasive cosmetic procedures.
Owner Patrice White has spent more than 30 years clarifying complexions of all skin types and beautifying visages using the latest cosmetology techniques. She'll tailor her facial to accommodate your skin's various idiosyncrasies with anti-aging, acne-zapping, and exfoliating elements until your skin shimmers like the surface of a lake at twilight, but without skinny-dipping lovebirds constantly frolicking in it. Patrice can also wax, tweeze, and trim eyebrows into an elegant arch, or give makeup apprentices an hour's worth of tips on colors, tools, and application techniques—significantly reducing the risk of being mistaken for an undead clown.
For more than two decades, cars have been emerging from Perretti's Auto Detailing gleaming with a like-showroom shine. The staff applies carnauba wax by hand, bestowing vehicles with a sheen that can last up to eight months and is impenetrable by squirt-gun attacks or razzberries from jealous neighbors. Rubout compound or correction cream can reduce the appearance of small marks and scratches, and the crew is careful to use only foam pads in order to prevent swirl marks. To match the like-new exterior, technicians can then move inside to clean and seal most surfaces, including cracks in leather upholstery.

I have many of the KP clues for China that you are looking for. I also have tons of the Osbourne Lights. Did I mention that I took close to 1,500 photos? I have a few pictures of the England KP mission, but Aaron did most of that with Bre without me and the kids. Are there any characters that you need pictures of? I can see if my kids can be cropped out of some of mine so at least you have a picture of the character you met. You are welcome to use any pictures in your trip report. I will try to get to the post office today.

This is like reading some sort of gothic novel, full of dark suspense. I wish I had just read about a happy ending, but not yet. I still have hope!

Act 1: Scene 4 - It's No Castle, but it sure does feel like HOME!
Let's see, where was I? Oh yes, we had just arrived at Give Kids the World Village:
We pulled up to the House of Hearts
and practically tripped over eachother as we eagerly piled out of the Routan. Upon entering, GKTW staff immediately knew who we were! I felt like a celebrity as they scurried out from behind the desk and greeted us with You must be the Griggs Family! Is this Isabella? pointing to Bella. And with a nod of confirmation, then handed her a plush Mickey Mouse!
And we have these for your sisters. . . the spoiling continued as AJ and Kennedy were each given a plush Shamu.
As the girls were quickly occupied with their new plush friends, non-coin operated rides, and exploring the House of Hearts, DH and I sat down at a table with a GKTW Angel (volunteers at GKTW are called Angels) and an Angel in training to began the check in process. It was difficult to focus on the paperwork without being distracted by the magic that surrounded us. I had to take this picture of Shrek hanging out in the Castle of Miracles
As soon as the girls were out of earshot, I quickly, quietly asked about a Castle Villa. For those who are unfamiliar with GKTW or have not read my PTR, Bellas Wish was to go to Disneyworld and be a Princess. GKTW has several new villas that resemble a castle on the outside. They look like this, but finished:
Upon discovering these on the GKTW Facebook page, I knew that I had to at least ask if we could stay in one because Princess Bella needed a castle, especially since I had failed to secure reservations for a meal in the castle at Cinderellas Royal Table. I had made phone calls on two separate occasions to GKTW inquiring as to the availability of a castle villa and both times, I was told to simply ask for one upon check in. So that is what I did.
Initially, the older lady started telling me that anybody can ask to walk inside the castle at Magic Kingdom but they dont allow people to stay there, ever, as it does not have rooms in it, it's just a restaurant.
What? No, no, no. I am not asking to stay in Cinderellas Castle, I explain. I didnt even try to enlighten her to the Year of A Million Dreams promotion that allowed people to stay, overnight, in the castle last year. Really, why bother?
So I restate my first request. Oh, she exclaims Yes here at GKTW there is a Castle of Miracles, but it doesnt have rooms in it either. DOH! Seriously?
One more time, I explain that I saw a picture on the internet of a castle VILLA here at GKTW, and could we possibly stay in one of those? Still not comprehending what I am asking for, the lady (who, by now, almost seemed irritated and I was feeling kinda bad about asking for a special favor), starts telling me how all of the villas are the same. None of them are any bigger than others and blah, blah, blah. I was getting nowhere with this lady!
It was then that the volunteer in training (who seemed to know more about GKTW than the experienced volunteer) spoke up and said I think she is referring to the new villas in the Fairy Tale Forest expansion. A light bulb lit up in the elder Angels head as she finally got it, I thought. She instructed the newbie Angel to check and see what villa we were in.
As the newbie checked on our villa, the elder Angel discussed orientation with us and gave me my only option right smack dab in the middle of GKTW Christmas party. Quickly, the newbie returned and informed us that we were in villa #118 not in the the Fairy Tale Forest. My heart sank a little. But I had to give it one last shot, so I asked is there any way we can just switch to a castle?
Now the elder Angel really seemed irritated, and I really felt bad. I didnt think I was asking too much, especially given Bellas Wish to be a princess. The elder Angel got up from the table and went over to the desk to check for us anyway. She returned and informed us matter of factly that because we already had medical equipment delivered to the villa, we could not change.
What medical equipment?!? We didnt request any medical equipment! It was then that I remembered we were expecting several packages to be delivered before our arrival. I had placed an order at Disneyshopping.com and we had been informed that a couple of BigGive packages should be awaiting our arrival as well. I guessed, correctly, that those were the deliveries already awaiting us in villa #118.
I gave up. At this point, blood sugars were low due to lack of nutrition and the girls were beginning to argue over the ride-ons. It was nearly 2 in the afternoon now, and we were hungry, and Bella desperately needed to eat another meal. So I accepted defeat and was given our key cards.
In retrospect, I wish I had tried harder. I wish I had just asked if we could pick up our packages and move them to a castle villa. Maybe it would have happened under different circumstances such as a different, more knowledgeable (and flexible) greeter! But alas, we had already wasted enough time today and I wanted to officially get this vacation started.
The GKTW Angels invited the girls to join them on a golf cart ride to our villa as we followed behind in the minivan.
It was in the older section of the village and the villa itself was, on the exterior, plain, ordinary, and commonplace - it certainly wasn't the castle I'd hoped for. As we pulled up to #118, I couldnt help but be a little disappointed. I know, it sounds terrible and unappreciative, and Im ashamed to admit it, but I had set my heart on a castle for Princess Bella.
Upon request of the GKTW elder Angel, we posed for a picture in front of the sign for our villa. We then thanked them, waved good bye, and headed inside.
Once we entered our villa, I truly could have cared care less what it looked like on the outside. When we walked in the door of little villa #118, it just felt like home.
The interior was beautifully decorated from floor to ceiling with Christmas lights and décor. We even had our own brilliantly decorated and lit Christmas tree AND stockings!
We set our bags down and stared in amazement at the gifts and packages that were screaming to be opened! There was an enormous bag of gifts and snacks from GKTW on our kitchen table. The girls dug in right away as DH, Grandma, and I dragged our suitcases inside the villa. There were games, toys, stuffed animals, and so much more! It was like Christmas had come early in our new home away from home!
With our tummies rumbling louder than ever, we didnt even consider unpacking. We grabbed Bellas food and medication and one of the new games for her to play while eating and headed straight for Katies Kitchen to feed the rest of our hungry mouths!

Great great start!!! I'm hooked
I did have to laugh at your description of what happened when you requested the villa at the front desk. That was pretty much the reaction (and attitude) I got when I asked the same thing at check in........a wee bit disappointing I might add and perhaps worth a nice note to whoever the big cheese is over there. Oh, it was also from an 'elder' angel (there, unfortunately, were a few other instances when I witnessed some cranky "elder" angel attitude). When I called back later I talked to a young guy who was actually very apologetic and 'helped' me find the person who could make it happen (who apologized profusely as well).

Woohoo for an update. I'm sorry you couldn't get one of the new villas, but glad your villa felt like "home" once you got in! So cool that it was all decorated for Christmas down to the stockings!
I don't know how "quick" I am since it took a while for the lightbulb moment, but I will be more than happy to take the pics you need! Maybe I could abduct a brunette about Bella's size with pincurls to sit on the Aladdin's carpet..I'll just take the pics from the back! Okay, so that prob wouldn't work..would be funny though! We have a couple months before we go though, so if you want to check with someone going sooner I totally understand. Just let me know, hon

Cute bag!
I must say I was quite impressed with the quality of the bag. Very soft leather and great colour and hardware - matches with pretty much everything! Love the tassle details and cute lining as well. Only thing is I have a long wallet which doesn't quite fit in the bag, so I just use a small purse when using this bag. Still fits a reasonable amount though considering it's a small bag. Very happy with the purchase.

Gorgeous Maxi!
I love this dress. It's definitely what I expected it to look like, very pretty, flowy and fits perfectly - I'm normally a size XS/6 in Australia. However it is quite long and I'll need to have it taken up (but I'm only 5ft3"). The lining does not appear to be as good a quality as I would have expected from the price of this dress, but it's not a problem. I can't wait for summer to arrive so I can it wear it with a tan, some gorgeous gold or turquoise accessories and tan sandals. LOVE IT!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Nice sandals
I bought these in the tan colour. I ordered my usual size of 6.5 (US) and they fit perfectly. They are a lovely colour and seem quite comfortable. I'm sure I'll be getting lots of wear out of these come summer!

Super cute!
Love these Marc by MJ flats! I have had my eye on these in the shops for a while. I am a US 6.5 / 37 (even though the sizing chart says 6.5 / 36.5, which I then followed and actually ordered intitally, but these were too small so I had to send back), therefore I should have followed my usual 6.5 / 37 sizing. I reordered the 37 and they fit well and feel super soft and comfortable. Can't wait to wear these cuties out and about.

Lovely and bright!
This dress is a gorgeous bright yellow as shown in the photo. I am usually a size 6/XS (49kg and about 160cm tall) however I ordered the XS it and was too small with very little give in the fabric. I reordered the S and it was much better, perfect down the bottom and only a touch loose in the sleeve area, but not noticeable. Overall I'm happy with the dress - the colour and pleating feature are just gorgeous!
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

Browser wars
Posted by: EgbertFly on Feb 03, 2010
Tagged in: Untagged
The list of web browser possibilities out there is quite vast.
After looking at the usual main stream offerings like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Apple Safari, it might be worth your while to consider some of the lesser know alternatives.
I had a look at four of the lesser know offering and was pleasantly surprised to see that they rivalled and surpassed the mainstream offerings in many ways.
Sea Monkey (www.seamonkey-project.org)
Sea Monkey is an evolvement from the once popular Netscape Navigator. It offers the same features that Netscape offered, way back in the early days of the Internet. Features Internet browser, email & newsgroup client with an included web feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools. Tabbed browsing is also a feature. The browser is a community based effort to develop an all-in-one internet application suite. Sea Monkey uses much of the same Mozilla source code which powers such successful siblings as Firefox, Thunderbird, Camino, Sunbird and Miro.
Flock (www.flock.com)
Flock is listed as the social web browser. It is also built on the same code that Firefox uses. Flock supports fifteen localised settings, which include different languages. The browser is geared to allow for social web integration. Its support of Web 2.0 is vast. The idea is to allow for quick access to social networking offerings such as Twitter and Facebook. Popular blog sites are also available. Mail offerings such as Gmail can also be accessed. Photos can also be uploaded to sites like Picasa. All of these and more are available through a handy side bar. All in all, when looking at the social networking features that Flock has, it begs the question, why have the big names not caught on?
K-Meleon (kmeleon.sourceforge.net)
Keeping it light is the name of the game here. Not hogging system resources makes the little known browser k-meleon (chameleon) a veritable speed demon. When comparing loading times to other browsers, complex pages load up faster than IE or Firefox. Text and graphics appear at almost the same speed. During the installation of the browser, there is a pre-loader that increases browser load times by keeping part of the browser's code in memory permanently. The interface operates in the same manner as other browsers. The shortcut keys follow the Firefox pattern, allowing for ease of use. But the real value is in the customisation options available. Multiple user profiles can be created to that each user can utilise a unique browser configuration.
Maxthon (www.maxthon.com)
And then lastly, but most definitely not least is Maxthon, the king of the custom browser. Originally created in China, Maxthon redefines the browsing experience. The standard title bar is removed, to allow for more space. When compared to K-Meleon, Maxthon it is even more customisable. You can remove almost everything to just leave you with the web page.
This essentially makes the browser even sparser than Chrome. It is ideal for small notebook screens. Keyboard control of the browser is also great. Complete skinning is also an option. When closing down the browser, it remembers your last place and brings you back there on restart.
When comparing all of these offering, the major browsers should start to do some reflection on improvement.

"This was just what I was looking for when planning my mother's 90th birthday party! Everyone commented on the photo of my mother when she was a teenager. The quality of the work is outstanding."
"Almost perfect... if I could have added information on the back they would have been perfect, but otherwise these were GREAT and I am super happy. Highly recommend."
"this invite worked perfect for the picture we wanted to use for my mom's surprise party. it's a vintage black/white photo and I think it turned out better than the sample. Only gripe would be that the "recommended" font was too big for the allotted area. We did find a font that fit and made it work."
"I love Tiny prints this was my first time using this company for invitations and I have to say I was extremely pleased with the quality of the product. My package came extra early which was great because I had a deadline and was late ordering the invitations. Also the RSVP website was so helpful it made planning my party so much easier. I could go online and keep track of the guest as it grow closer to the event. I will definitely be using them for future events"
"this was the perfect card to send to our family and friends for my mom's surprise birthday! it was playful yet elegant at the same time"
