July 14 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries remained lower after reports on U.S. retail sales and initial claims for unemployment benefits.
U.S. government debt fell earlier as the U.S. prepared to sell $13 billion of 30-year bonds and after Moody's Investors Service put the U.S. on review for a downgrade yesterday.
Yields on 10-year notes increased three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.91 percent at 8:35 a.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. They dropped to 2.81 percent on July 12, the lowest since Dec. 1.
Thirty-year bond yields rose three basis points to 4.20 percent before the Treasury auctions $13 billion of the debt at 1 p.m. in the third of three note and bond sales this week totaling $66 billion.
Sales at U.S. retailers stagnated in June as rising unemployment held consumers back. The 0.1 percent increase reported by the Commerce Department in Washington today compared with the median forecast of a 0.1 percent drop in the Bloomberg News survey of 80 economists.
Applications for jobless benefits decreased 22,000 in the week ended July 9 to 405,000, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast 415,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey.
The U.S. consumer price index dropped 0.1 percent in June after a rise of 0.2 percent in May, data tomorrow from the Labor Department is forecast to show.
Additional Support
The U.S. consumer price index dropped 0.1 percent in June after a rise of 0.2 percent in May, data tomorrow from the Labor Department is forecast to show.
U.S. bonds lagged behind gains in the world's biggest debt markets as demand for their relative safety ebbed after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the central bank is prepared to offer additional support to the economy. President Barack Obama twice walked out of a meeting with legislative leaders on cutting the federal deficit, increasing concern Moody's will follow through on its warning.
German 10-year bunds advanced, sending yields down three basis points amid concern Europe's debt crisis will worsen.
"Rating downgrades and 30-year placements are not the best combination," said Kornelius Purps, a fixed-income strategist at UniCredit SpA in Munich. Today's auction "will be a tricky one. I'm a bit negative. It's a bit undecided in the Treasury market because there's too much news to digest in addition to what's going on in Europe."
Moody's Review
The U.S., rated Aaa by Moody's since 1917, was put on review for the first time since 1995. The move was prompted by concern officials won't raise the debt limit in time to prevent a missed payment, Moody's said in a statement yesterday.
The rating would probably be reduced to the Aa range, the company said, implying a reduction of one to three steps.
Obama "abruptly" walked out of yesterday's White House meeting with legislative leaders on the deficit, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told reporters. Cantor said he told Obama "we are far apart" on proposals to cut the deficit and raise the borrowing limit.
The Treasury has said it has until Aug. 2 before its ability to pay the debt expires.
Bernanke told the House Financial Services Committee yesterday that failure to raise the debt limit would lead to a "huge financial calamity" that could add to unemployment. Unless the debt ceiling is raised, he said, the economy could be in greater peril than when Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. went bankrupt in September 2008.
'Damage to Confidence'
"There does seem to be such an impasse at this stage that I can't rule out some kind of technical default," said Charles Diebel, head of market strategy at Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets in London. "It's the damage to confidence and future investment plans that's the real risk."
Bernanke also told Congress that the "economy still needs a good deal of support."
Investors bid for 2.63 times the amount of 30-year debt offered last month. The 10-sale average is 2.64. Indirect bidders, the investor group that includes foreign central banks, bought 38.4 percent of the securities, compared with the 10- auction average of 39.7 percent.

How do I install windows 7 HPsp1 64 bit on a dell xps 8100 from a disc
Not a computer genius nor a complete goof either.. so please be patient!!
I have a dell XPS 8100 with windows 7 Home premium sp1 64 bit
Recently this computer got a virus transferred to it from a camera card.
I took this computer to a local computer shop and the tech removed things which made my computer, in short, not the dell i purchased 2 years ago.
I contacted dell and received an OS disc for windows 7 home premium.
when i use the F8 prompt to get into restoring my computer to factory settings.. This is the first few things that confuse me as do many...
First: There is no prompt in the F8 to reset to factory condition, only a option to restore image.
2nd: I try to use advanced commands to find the OS disc which i have in the D drive but it never finds it..
Any guidance or suggestion would be of great help..
thanks so much

Windows 7 Ultimate x64, XP Mode, W8.1 Preview VM - 7 Pro x64 second remote tower
Hello brocker1234567 Welcome to the Seven Forums!
I strongly suspect the place you brought the system into likely wiped something necessary to see the restoration option available while cleaning the system up for you. With the recovery disk you have now received from Dell that will only see a full clean install of 7 go on once it wipes the C primary clean during the installation process.
The recovery disks acts just like any other full install media but is Dell branded. Once the clean copy of Windows is back on and you enter the OEM product key found on the sticker attached to the machine itself you will then need to go to the Dell support site to download the updates for that model. Since you already have the 7 media to use just follow the rest in the guide for performing a clean install of 7. Clean Install Windows 7

Just wondering why you didn`t attempt to remove the virus yourself. Microsoft Security Essintials and Malwarebytes is all you need to combat them. 1 other question , do you scan items b4 you open them ? This is a basic rule and should be practiced.
Let us know how your progress is going.

Once he brought it to the shop whoever worked on it decided to nuke the drive and put a fresh non OEM copy of Windows back on as well as wiping the Dell wares. I guess you brought into a shop instead of trying to remove the bug yourself.
The recovery disk they sent may still work along with the hidden recovery partition if that wasn't changed any at the shop you brought the system to. But just be prepared for a clean install where you may have to run around for all updates. Some of the prepackaged Dell wares will be found on the download page under utilities most likely while not any trial versions for Norton or McAFee(Fail).

Windows 8 Core X64
Most of the Dell computers use F11 to start the recovery process. In your case there should be a recovery partition on the hard drive that will be used when you press F11. If not then simply put the recovery DVD from Dell in the DVD drive and boot it by pressing F12 to get to the boot menu then select the DVD drive.

The first place I would be looking would be in the User guide that comes along with any new system. The support site for anything else is the next stop to look everything up for that particular model. But even with the restore option just remember everything you have now on the C primary will be wiped cleaned.

I ( you ) fixed it!!!! My computer is working like new again!!!
I used the f 12 and was able to do a clean install. THe only problem I had was I didnt have a network adaptor once the install was complte. I accidently found it on my dell utility drivers disc.. Remember.. N O V I C E here!!!!!!!
Once I got back online.. I installed a new version of Norton's anti virus, ran microsoft malicous spyware removal, updated alll of microsofts updates, and downloaded Dells recommended updates.
My machine seems????? to be working like new!!!
1: I never got a prompt to enter a microsoft key number.. Is that a problem>???
2: Is there a program i can dl from the net and and save to a disc to destroy future potential viruses?
3: Should I manually scan my Sd card in the future... im sure I should... But, I thought my anti virus scanned this automatically???
I'm almost certain I contracted this virus from my SD card.
While on vacation, I inserted my SD card in my sister n laws Mac book Pro and a freinds Hewlett packard.. Both computers seemd to work fine and still are today.... But once I inserted the SD in my computer to look at vacation pics... My computer started freezing, and slowly just become totally unresponsive in all programs...

Once again, THANKS to you ALLL!!! I will recommend this site to everyone!!

Greg, the Dell reinstallation DVD has activation baked in.
Read over the steps again in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to make sure you covered all of the steps, since some of what you mention is handled therein - like being prepared with the wireless driver on a stick, recommended AV and other programs which will keep your perfect reinstall problem-free.
Read also the Special Notes for Dell Owners at the end of the tutorial for how to handle the Dell Recovery and Tools partition. Recovery most likely will not run now after a Clean Reinstall so you can delete it. Try booting Diagnostics tools via F12 to see if it still runs in which case you can keep it if you want it although it's available for download online.
Install and update Malwarebytes, Plug the SD card in and immediately rightclick scan it .
Then uninstall any bloatware AV, install Microsoft Security Essentials to do the same, then run a full system scan.

The Norton install is likely the trial version for Symantec's av program they sitll on OEM machines. If you are not planning to buy it dump it!
As for not being prompted to enter a product and activate Windows you have the branded OEM recovery disk that restores the OEM preactivation along with the fresh copy of Windows. As long as the hidden recovery partition remains intact the branded disk will pull most of the drivers for board like chipset, video, and sound from there. The software disk provided will have the rest including Delll tools.

Hedge Funds Adapt to New Climate
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For decades, hedge funds focused on serving wealthy individuals. But since the financial crisis, many individuals have fled hedge funds. Now most assets flowing into the funds are coming from pensions and other big institutions. As a result, the shape of the hedge fund business is changing. Big funds favored by institutions are prospering, while many smaller funds are struggling to survive.
The exodus of individuals has been a special blow to vehicles known as funds of hedge funds. These take money from investors and put it into 20 or more hedge funds. In 2007, funds of funds had $798 billion in assets, or 42% of all money in hedge funds, according to Hedge Fund Research. Then during the next two years, investors withdrew $159 billion in assets. Today funds of funds have $672 billion in assets and account for 33% of hedge fund assets.
"The wealthy individuals who invested in funds of funds are still frightened," says Nadia Papagiannis, a Morningstar analyst who follows alternative investments.
Individuals had long favored funds of funds because the vehicles seemed to offer diversification and the safety that comes from professional managers who can pick sound investments. But in 2008, funds of funds lost 20%, according to Hedgefund.net. The losses were particularly unnerving because some funds of funds had been invested with Bernard Madoff and were wiped out in the Ponzi scandal.While many individuals have decided that hedge funds are risky, institutional investors found that top hedge funds provided important diversification during the downturn. By selling short and using other techniques, the best performers recorded small losses or actually made money. Many of the star funds are only available to institutions that can invest large amounts. "Institutions want diversification, and they are increasing their allocations to hedge funds," says Amy Bensted, manager of hedge fund data for Preqin, which tracks alternative investments. Preqin says that public pension funds now have 7% of their assets in hedge funds, up from 4% in 2007. Many endowments of colleges and other institutions have reported putting more than 20% of assets into hedge funds. According to Preqin, institutions now account for 61% of hedge fund assets, up from 45% in 2008. As result of the inflows from institutions, total assets of hedge funds topped $2 trillion this year, up from $1.9 trillion in 2007.

OLYMPIA — More than a dozen Senate Democrats want voters to reconsider their decision last November that makes it difficult for them to take state tax exemptions off the books.
On Thursday they unveiled a a new bill that would remove the requirement that both houses of the Legislature give a two-thirds majority to any plan to reduce or end a tax exemption. If it passes — a big "if" considering there are only 10 days left in the regular session and the bill has not yet been scheduled for a hearing — it would be put before voters this November for their approval.
While the days are running out for the regular session "there may be an opportunity in the special session," Sen. Phil Rockefeller, D-Bainbridge Island, said.
The Legislature is still struggling with the general operating budget for 2011-13…

and also has differing versions of the transportation and capital budgets for the next biennium. While legislative leaders have continued to say publicly they hope work can be completed on time, the work load to accomplish that gets more daunting every day.
Gov. Chris Gregoire, who said earlier in the week she was optimistic the Legislature would go home on time by mid-week was saying she was getting pessimistic.
The proposals introduced by Senate Democrats Thursday aren't needed to implement the general operating budget. If they were to pass voters' muster in November, any revenue they raise in the future would be applied to future spending.
Senate Democrats also introduced other bills targeting specific exemptions for large interstate banks, club membership dues, chicken bedding and artificial insemination of livestock, or to raise the rates on businesses that get preferential treatment. Some of those would also go before voters in November, if they manage to pass the Legislature.
The state doesn't offer a tax exemption for bedding for children, "yet we provide for chickens," Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way, said.
Rockefeller also has a separate bill that raises any preferential rate a business or industry currently receives by 25 percent. He called it "a haircut, if you will."
None of the bills would prevent the Legislature from passing some version of an "all-cuts" budget, but once that spending plan goes into effect, Rockefeller said, "voters deserve a chance to weigh in on that decision."
Last year, voters approved Initiative 1053, which requires a two-thirds majority for "legislative actions raising taxes", or a simple majority if the increase is approved by votes.
But Senate Democrats pushing the new legislation contend many voters didn't know that two-thirds majority extended to the repeal or revision of tax exemptions as well as to instituting new taxes or raising existing ones.
"I don't think the people knew that when they voted on 1053," Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Wells, D-Seattle, said.
Republicans scoffed at that argument. I-1053 reinstated a 2007 voter initiative which the Legislature suspended early last year, and that earlier initiative for super-majorities on taxes applied to changes in tax exemptions as well.
"They understood quite well what they were doing," Sen. Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, said. "I like to give the voters a lot more credit."
Several of the tax exemptions the Democrats want to eliminate make good sound bites, but they have real purposes. A tax break on the sales tax for bull semen for the artificial insemination of cows is decades old, and is based on the fact that there's no tax on the purchase of a live bull, so it wasn't fair to impose it on frozen semen, a new technology at the time, he said. The tax break on chicken bedding is a recognition that people want to buy locally, but chicken farms in neighboring states aren't charged taxes for such supplies.
"Why are we punishing chicken farmers? Because it's a good sound bite," Schoesler said.
And some of the Democrats calling for an end to current business tax loopholes proposed their own special exemptions this year, for everything from real estate firms to restaurants to film companies to zoos.

Troubles plaguing travel didn't keep many from the third annual Affordable Meetings Mid-America, held April 1 to 4 at Chicago's Navy Pier. The show, which features educational programming bookending an exposition, is free for meeting planners. Attendance was down a bit, but not by much. The event drew roughly 934 meeting planners, and there were 341 expo booths. Last year's event attracted 1,025 meeting planners, a difference of about 9 percent. The drop was attributed primarily to the ...

I do not agree with this. I can honestly say my parents sort of spoil me, in a way, they give me what ever I want. But it hasn't ruined me in any way. Because my parents spoil me, I want to pay them back for all the stuff they've given me and get a job so they can stop spending so much on me.

A Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Birthday Breakfast
The birthday boy woke up around 6:30 to nurse, then went back to sleep. I was wide awake, so around 7:30 I went down to The Mara to get a drink and ate half a brownie my dad had given me the night before (they always ordered a bunch of different desserts since they were on the dining plan, but they could never eat everything). This brownie was seriously delicious and so chocolately. There were mini M&M's on top, and it originally had marshmallows too, but someone else ate them before I got to it. Okay, that probably sounds gross, but this half-eaten hand-me-down brownie was one of my favorite things I ate on this trip. If we make it back to Landscape of Flavors for an actual meal, I'm definitely getting it. So. I ate my brownie and wrote in my trip journal, then went back to the room.
While everyone started getting ready, I gave Luke his birthday cards.
He was pretty thrilled.
We had a breakfast ADR for 1900 Park Fare, so we drove over to the Grand Floridian.
The guy at the guard shack told Brian to drop his family off at the entrance and then park. (When we left, I understood why. It was a pretty nice hike.)
Ack, I forgot to write about Tom's postcard, and I think it actually came on MY birthday. My friend Tom sends us a postcard whenever he's on vacation--even when he vacations with us. So I definitely wanted to send him some postcards. Well, he one-upped me--he had sent us a postcard from Baltimore (where we live), to Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was the coolest thing ever. I was so thrilled.
So after I dropped the ball with Scrooge McDuck, I knew I definitely wanted to get Tom's old pal Mary Poppins to sign a postcard for him. So we went upstairs to the shop to buy one while Brian parked the car. We had to use the elevator because there was a bride in her enormous wedding dress taking pictures on the staircase. See what I mean? Swanky.
I found a suitable postcard, and also got one for my other BFF Alison that was pink and princessy. I never got to send that one, though. The postcard was so shiny I couldn't find a pen that would write on it. Very annoying.
We went back downstairs to check out the gingerbread house while we waited on Brian. Tabby was super excited about it and was annoyed with me because I wasn't more excited, so I had to admit that we'd already been there a few days earlier. Sorry!
Brian arrived and checked us in. We'd had to change our reservation from 3 to 5 after Tabby and Tommy decided to join us, so we had a bit of a wait. I tried to go find a nice secluded place to feed Luke while we waited, but I couldn't find an empty corner. I ended up on a bench right underneath a staircase, so anyone descending would have a great view of the action.
I'd taken our buzzer with me, and just as I finished feeding Luke and rejoined the group, it went off.
I must admit that I was incredibly disappointed with the inside of 1900 Park Fare. Considering how grand and swanky the Grand Floridian is, I was expecting a fancier Crystal Palace. But, as Brian put it, it looked like they had an underused conference room and decided to turn it into a restaurant. Really, really not impressive at all.
I stayed with Luke while the others got their food, and tried to convince him that I needed a cute picture of him with his mouse ears and birthday button.
Good enough, Mom?
Eh, good enough.
Tabby had gotten one of these Mickey-shaped plates from the kids buffet, so I followed her lead.
I also tried the strawberry soup, because I think it's required by law.
I don't have any complaints about the food--it was all pretty tasty. Brian and I both rated it a three. I would definitely go back, but probably not until Luke is a few years older.
My old friend Pooh came around while we were eating, so I had to whip Luke out of his high chair to meet him. Somehow, this is the best picture we got.
Mary Poppins came around next and I had her sign Tom's postcard. She was SUPER disappointed that he couldn't make it on this trip.
Tigger came up right after MP left.
Then Alice. She and Luke seemed pretty smitten with each other.
And finally the Mad Hatter.
I'm not sure, but I think he might wear a prosthesis.
We finished eating, and our old friend Pooh came by to visit again.
So we hurried up and got out of there to avoid doing the whole rotation again.

Fun Times at Magic Kingdom (and Luke sleeps through his first celebrity sighting)
After breakfast, we attempted to take a nice picture in the carriage, but Luke had other plans.
We made the long walk back to the car and then headed over to the Magic Kingdom. Brian and Tommy went off to get sorcerer cards. I was going to take Luke to the baby care center to change him, and I thought it was weird that Tabby wanted to stay with me. After the boys left, she admitted she had an ulterior motive: She wanted to buy Tommy some mouse ears!
I needed to get Luke's name embroidered on his mouse ears, so I went with her to the Chapeau. Luke decided now would be a fine time to sneak in a nap.
The guy at the counter told me there was a 30 minute wait for embroidery, so I told him I would come back later to pick it up. Tabby wanted to buy our nephew a pair of mouse ears like Luke's, but they didn't have any at the Chapeau. We walked across the street to the Emporium where she found the baby ears, bought a pair for Tommy, and then we went back over to the Chapeau so she could get them embroidered. While she was doing that, I wandered into the other room and looked at the hats.
I saw Luke's, finished and on the shelf! We'd been gone less than 10 minutes.
When Tabby joined me, she told me the exact same guy had told her it would only be 5-10 minutes. I have no idea why he lied to me.
We could see they were already working on our nephew's ears, so we waited for them to be done, then we hurried over to the BCC.
Brian and Tommy were already there waiting for us. Oops. Since Luke was asleep anyway, I wasn't going to wake him and change him. Someone wanted to do the Tiki Room, so I said I would wait with Luke while everyone else went in.
To get out of the sun, I ended up hanging out near the exit. When the next show let out, I looked for them but didn't see them. Then I saw one of those Guys in Plaid taking a picture of two pretty short-haired girls. One of the girls was just gorgeous. I thought, wow, she looks like Ginnifer Goodwin.
As the Guy in Plaid and the two girls walked past me, a woman walked up to them. At the time I thought she just happened to be standing around like me, but now I think she probably saw them inside the theater and waited for them to come out.
The woman said, "You're so pretty. You look like Snow White."
I'm thinking...pfffft, she doesn't look like Snow White, Snow White has much longer hair.
The pretty girl smiled and said, "Thank you."
The woman said, "Are you her?"
And the pretty girl smiled again and said, "Yes, I am."
Then I connected the dots. IT WAS ACTUALLY GINNIFER GOODWIN, who plays Snow White on ABC's Once Upon a Time. I learned later that she was there that weekend for the opening of New Fantasyland.
The woman asked for a picture and the Guy in Plaid was like, "I'm sorry, we have to go." But Ginnifer posed for the picture. Then the woman called over the other people she was with and wanted pictures with them too. The Guy in Plaid was like, "WE REALLY HAVE TO BE GOING NOW," but Ginnifer was so sweet and she took the pictures with them anyway.
I waited until her back was turned and they were a safe distance away before I snapped a picture of my own.
After missing all the excitement, Luke woke up and I fed him. Everyone else finally emerged from the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room. Tabby and Tommy went off to do some stuff on their own. Brian, Luke, and I met up with the rest of my family outside of It's a Small World so I could retrieve my stolen cell phone from my mother, then we headed to Storybook Circus.
We checked out the Casey Jr. play area, which was super cute. Then we checked the wait times at Pete's Silly Sideshow.
I wanted to meet the guys even though they had a slightly longer wait time.
There was no PhotoPass photographer for Donald, which was annoying. Since I prepaid for the CD, I was so annoyed whenever there wasn't a PhotoPass photographer, which actually happened pretty often.
It had only taken about 10 minutes to meet Goofy and Donald, but now the wait time for Minnie and Daisy was 40 minutes, so we decided to skip them.
It was getting late, and we had to pick up Luke's birthday cake from Publix at 4, so we started to make our way out of the park. But first, we decided that we couldn't NOT visit Mickey Mouse on Luke's birthday.
I completely ignored all the cute Scrooge McDuck theming, but Brian noticed it.
This next picture is my favorite picture from the trip. By far.

Party Time!
We got to Publix a little before 4, but the cakes were ready. There were a few free sample stations set up in the bakery that day. One guy had apple pie and egg nog. Of course I had to buy egg nog after that. I probably would have gotten all the ingredients to make that apple pie if we'd had a kitchen.
After picking up the cake, egg nog, and a few other snacks and drinks, we had an hour to kill until we were supposed to meet the family for Luke's birthday dinner, so we went back to the room.
There were a bunch of animals out on the savanna, so we hung out on the balcony for awhile.
I also fed Luke and then looked over my pins.
We'd found the Pluto and Goofy cupcake pins to go along with the Donald Duck one I already had, an "I" letter pin, and Brian got me the heart-shaped Mickey head and Minnie dressed as Tinker Bell.
It was almost party time, so we drove over to the Polynesian. The guy at the guard shack basically wished us luck finding anywhere to park. We finally found a spot but then saw a "Reserved" sign half hidden in the bushes, and we didn't want to risk it. Arrrrgh.
I didn't want to fool with any parking lot shenanigans on Luke's birthday, so we decided we were just going to valet park. File that under "Things I Never Thought I Would Spend Money On." But really, it was SO worth it. We would have both been in terrible moods if we'd had to circle that parking lot for half an hour waiting to pounce on someone as soon as they left.
We met up with the family at Captain Cook's for dinner.
I had the adult grilled cheese, which I'd been pretty excited about.
Unfortunately, I just wasn't into it. My mother got it too and she seemed to like it.
This is Brian's food. I have no idea what it is. Brian wasn't too impressed with his meal, either. I rated Captain Cook's a 1.5 and Brian rated it a 2. Tabby and Tommy both ordered the pork nachos. They enjoyed it, but thought the serving was huge and wished they'd shared one instead.
After dinner...it was time for cake!
I picked this cake because it seemed to fit the Polynesian theme more than the other Mickey Mouse cakes.
And it came with a free smash cake for Luke.
We sang happy birthday.
And then it was time for some smashing.
After taking ten million pictures, we realized that he'd actually eaten a decent amount of that cake and we should probably take it away.
We had plenty of cake, so we shared with a few people in the restaurant. Then we cleaned up Luke, and the table, and the chairs, and the floor. My goodness, it was a mess. After we'd cleaned up and eaten our cake, one by one people started wandering off and looking around the resort. I consolidated all our things onto one table. Then Brian said to me, "There is icing all over that chair." I looked over at the table where we'd been sitting, and sure enough there was a substantial amount of blue icing smeared all over the back of the chair. And there were people sitting at the table. So I had to walk up to them like a weirdo and say, "Ummm, I'm just going to clean this icing off. Don't mind me."
We'd paid to valet, so were going to get our money's worth and we took the monorail back to Magic Kingdom. I left Brian with all the bags at the bag check while I took Luke to the BCC to nurse him. When they met back up with me...Tabby had bought a bunch of sorcerer cards! Now I was the only one who didn't have any. I felt left out, so I wanted to run back to the fire house and get some of my own. The others decided they would ride Jungle Cruise while I did that.
Oh, if I'd known how difficult it would be, I wouldn't have bothered. THERE IS ALWAYS A PARADE HAPPENING. I figured it would be faster to walk through the Emporium, even with Luke's stroller, and I literally got stuck inside. The firehouse was right there, but I physically could not get out the door and walk over. Trapped in a gift shop--well played, Disney. I ended up buying a plush baby Dumbo and his mother while I waited. It is the cutest thing in the entire world.
Finally, the parade ended and I made it over to the fire house. I wanted to get the whole experience and learn how to play, especially after that long wait in the Emporium, but since Brian had already used my park ticket to get a key card, they gave me my daily pack of cards and sent me away.
Tabby and Tommy had gone off to play the game, and I had Brian meet me in an alley off Main Street. The fireworks were getting ready to start, and I didn't feel like fighting my way up Main Street with the stroller. The portal where I was supposed to start my game was in Fantasyland, so we walked through Tomorrowland to Fantasyland...but we couldn't get to the portal, it was blocked off for the fireworks. Urgh. We walked back to Tomorrowland and I got on Space Mountain. The wait time said 20 minutes but it was more like 5. After the fireworks, we went back to Fantasyland and I played the Sorcerers game and defeated Maleficent. The portal technology was really neat and it's fun to collect the different cards, but I would rank the entire experience below the Agent P game at Epcot. In World Showcase, you're actually interacting with the environment and there is a REASON to go to each location. In the Sorcerer game, you're hopping between portals just for the sake of hopping between portals. You could play the entire game from one location and it wouldn't make a difference.
Next, we went over to Frontierland and Brian rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad while I sat with Luke, who'd been sleeping in his stroller for some time. But while we sat there waiting for Brian, he woke up. I held him and rocked him back to sleep. Tabby and Tommy found us and I looked at the time. It was 11:17pm. My precious baby boy was exactly one year old.
When Brian got back, Tabby and Tommy rode BTMR with me (separate cars, this time!), then we headed back on the monorail to the Polynesian to get the car.
Day 7 Summary: Luke's first birthday was awesome! I'm glad he is too young to remember it, so next year he won't be disappointed with a pizza party at home instead of a day at Magic Kingdom with breakfast and dinner at two of WDW's swankiest resorts.

Napping, Pizza, and Alone Time at Epcot
On Sunday, I woke up at 7, nursed Luke, put in a load of laundry, then took a walk around the lodge.
My family was flying home today, and planned to have lunch at T-Rex Cafe and then hang out at Downtown Disney until they had to catch Magical Express. Brian, Luke, and I were "scheduled" to go to Animal Kingdom, but I was exhausted and I said I'd love to have a rest day instead. We had a rest day scheduled for Monday, so we just swapped days.
Tabby and Tommy packed their bags and got ready, then Brian drove them to Downtown Disney to meet up with the rest of the family. He wasn't in need of a rest day, so he was going to hang out with them for awhile. My parents wanted to get Luke and his cousin a dinosaur, so Brian and Tommy each made one. I was told the whole experience was precious.
After the others left, I laid Luke down for a nap and hung out on the balcony. While I was out on the balcony, some people checked into the room next to us. It was a family with a few kids and they were ARGUING VERY LOUDLY. I don't mean the kids--I mean the DAD and the kids. At AKL, there are partitions so your neighbor's balcony is right next to you, but you can't actually see them. I'm sure they didn't know I was out there, and didn't realize I could hear every word they were saying. So I called Brian and loudly talked about nothing for a few minutes, hoping they would overhear me and take a hint. Then I took the phone inside and told him why I had really called, because he seemed pretty confused, because I NEVER call him just to chat about nothing. Then I told him he should go to Flippers on his way back and bring me some pizza.
I took a nap, and when I woke up, Brian was back with the pizza. Flippers is my favorite pizza in Orlando. It's a 4, for sure. We get it every trip, sometimes twice.
Luke played with his new dinosaur. His name is Lukousaurus, which is both adorable and actually the name of a dinosaur.
Our nephew's dinosaur also traveled back home with us so my parents wouldn't have to take him on the plane, but I didn't manage to get a picture of him.
Also, here's the plush I bought the day before. SO CUTE, right?
Now that I'd spent half the day doing nothing, I was well-rested and decided I would do my "night out" at Epcot this afternoon. I got Luke dressed in his swim trunks, and Brian took him down to the pool. I went to catch the bus.
My timing was awful. Buses to DHS, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and TWO for Downtown Disney all came before the Epcot bus.
Finally, I arrived. Daisy was meeting and greeting out front, and I've never managed to meet her so I stopped for a picture.
I love this. I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but Stitch has bitten off the corner of the sign.
My main objective at Epcot was to see some of the Holiday Storytellers. I was very interested in this, and Brian and Luke couldn't care less, so it seemed like a perfect activity for my night out. The storyteller times aren't organized in any logical fashion (like, you can't start in Mexico and work your way around) and they're not all the same length, so it's hard to come up with a good plan in advance. The Norway storyteller was coming out soon, so I decided that would be a good place to start, then I would just check the times afterwards and decide which country to run to next.
This story was too cute. Sigrid looked like Alison Sweeney, the actress who plays Sami Brady on my soap opera, and Julenissen reminded me of that guy who plays Christina Applegate's brother on Up All Night.
The gist of it is that Sigrid doesn't believe Julenissen is real, so she can't see him, but the audience can, and hilarity ensues.
It was really a delightful show. I wanted to bring Brian and Luke back to see it if we had time on our last Epcot day.
Afterwards, I consulted the guide and decided to go to Italy next and see La Befana. I had a few minutes to spare, so I stopped and looked at the train garden in Germany for awhile. I love miniatures.
I also stopped in the Santa's Village marketplace they had set up.
I can't remember anything they were selling, except for these adorable porcelain dolls. Some were regular dolls but some were based on the Disney princesses. I wanted to buy them all. My great-grandfather used to buy me porcelain dolls when I was a little girl, so I still had a soft spot for them.

Alone Time at Epcot, Continued
I pulled myself away from the porcelain dolls, and headed over to Italy.
This story made me kind of sad. From Wikipedia: "Christian legend had it that Befana was approached by the biblical magi, also known as the Three Wise Men (or the three kings) a few days before the birth of the Infant Jesus. They asked for directions to where the Son of God was, as they had seen his star in the sky, but she did not know. She provided them with shelter for a night, as she was considered the best housekeeper in the village, with the most pleasant home. The magi invited her to join them on the journey to find the baby Jesus, but she declined, stating she was too busy with her housework. Later, La Befana had a change of heart, and tried to search out the astrologers and Jesus. That night she was not able to find them, so to this day, La Befana is searching for the little baby."
I wanted to see Germany next, but again I had some time to spare. I'd read online about a chocolately alcoholic drink called "Tipsy Ducks in Love" sold in China, so I walked over to China to get one. I couldn't find it, though. Hmph. I went back to Germany and saw a seasonal cart there selling drinks, but I hadn't read anything about it online so I didn't get anything there. Instead, I got a Powerade. Exciting, I know! I wish I'd just tried something at the cart--I read about the drinks online afterwards and they sounded really interesting. Let that be a lesson for next time. Don't be afraid to try something new...even if you HAVEN'T read about it online. (And if three wise men invite you on an adventure, don't stay home and DO HOUSEWORK)
The Germany story was super short, and then she rushed away afterwards. Most of the storytellers hung around afterwards to take pictures, but the handler said she was sick. Now that I'm looking at the pictures...I guess she doesn't look too happy. Poor girl.
My next destination was the UK, but I had about half an hour until the next show. I bought an Epcot shirt which I don't have a picture of. It's like these except it's purple, and it has both the food and the drinks. It will be the perfect shirt to wear if I ever get to Drink Around the World.
When I walked toward the UK, I saw the Queen of Hearts out greeting. There was no PhotoPass photographer, but I'd never seen her out except after the Villains Mix and Mingle show at MNSSHP, so I decided to stop for a quick picture.
I found the storyteller area and sat on a bench to wait for Father Christmas.
Fortunately, only little kids sat in front of the stage and didn't block my view.
Or ruin my pictures.
I wanted to hear the Japanese storyteller next, and I had a few minutes so I walked into the store.
Mistake! I got caught up in browsing and ended up missing half of the show. Oops.
I entertained the idea of going over to DHS to ride Tower of Terror a few times, but decided to call it a night. Even though I knew I could watch it On Demand when I got home, I really wanted to hang out in bed with Brian and Luke and watch the Tia Mowry/Tori Spelling Mistle-Tones TV movie that was coming on at 8. I KNOW, I KNOW. I'm lame.
I stopped for a picture in front of the tree on my way out. Why not?
Then I headed back out to the bus stop.
The wait was kind of ridiculous. There was an Animal Kingdom Lodge bus on the other side of the lot...then it drove past us very slowly and left without picking us up! Then approximately seven million Animal Kingdom buses came and went, and I'm not sure why because I'm pretty sure Animal Kingdom was closed. Finally a bus came and I made it back to AKL.
Brian got himself some dinner from The Mara and I heated up a can of lentil soup, and we watched The Mistle-Tones.
When the movie ended at 10pm...it immediately started again. Seriously, an instant rerun. If I'd known I might have decided to go to DHS, but oh well.
Day 8 Summary: What a perfect low-key day! I got to nap, I got pizza, I got my night out at Epcot, and I got to watch my movie. I love having a lazy day like this in the middle of a long vacation.

Great updates!! Your son is too cute!! Love all the storyteller stuff, we didn't get a chance to really get to any of that. Our trip was so crazy though and we will do Christmas again in 2014 so I need to take some notes to remember!

Checking out the Animals at Animal Kingdom
We woke up early and then lazed around. We realized at around 7:30 that Animal Kingdom had extra magic hours that morning, but by the time we got dressed and got there, we only had a few minutes until the park opened to the general public.
Because this would be our last day at AK, we stopped for the obligatory PhotoPass pictures in front of the tree.
My hair was still wet so it looks kind of funky. Oh well.
Luke fell asleep, so Brian rode Everest. I was starting to get sick, so I didn't feel like riding.
Next, we looked at some animals. The pictures are from two different cameras, and I don't remember the exact order or where all the animals were located, so I'm just going to throw them all in here with no explanation.
On our way to the baby care center, I saw I had a voice mail. Apparently my ex-boyfriend had put me down as a job reference. While I fed Luke, I called the guy back and said some nice things about my ex, because I'm a nice girl. He didn't get the job. I hope it wasn't my fault.
We got lunch from the food stands in Asia.
I got the noodle salad. It was okay, but I was disappointed that it didn't have more vegetables.
I've never had a summer roll before, so I waited until Brian got back with his wings so he could unwrap it before I took a picture. I didn't realize that's how you eat it!
The summer rolls tasted strongly of cilantro, which I don't like. Brian gave his food a 1. I rated mine a 2.
After lunch, we did some more wandering around.
After five trips, we finally found Devine!
There was another PhotoPass guy so we decided to stop for some more pictures, intending to ask for some magic shots. But then the guy started taking all kinds of close-up family pictures like we were at a portrait studio or something, so we didn't want to take up anymore time with special requests.
When we were finished, we discovered why he'd been so into it: There was a survey-taker standing off to the side waiting to ask about our experience.

Camp Minnie-Mickey
Next, we went to Camp Minnie-Mickey to meet some characters.
First we met Donald. I think he might be Luke's favorite.
I wanted to meet Minnie, but her line was long so we went to see Baloo and King Louie instead.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
My favorite part of camp Minnie-Mickey was all the Christmas trees. Now let's see if I remember who they belong to...
Goofy, I guess? I don't understand the flamingos.
This one is fairly obvious.
Lilo, maybe? I've never seen the movie but it looks Hawaiian.
No idea.
Nemo. This one's cute even though I'm afraid of fish.
Lion King.
Ummm. Country Bears?
No clue.
Chip and Dale.
Not sure. I see a lot of food.
Before we left, I wanted some pictures in front of the tree at the front of the park because I really loved this tree. I like how they turned out.
We didn't do the safari because we'd already seen plenty of animals while staying at AKL, but afterwards I remembered there's a new ending with zebras instead of that dumb poacher storyline. When we were there in October, the poacher storyline was gone but the zebras weren't there yet! Oh well, something to look forward to for next time.

Holly and Luke's "Night In" and Dinner at DTD
Brian dropped us off at AKL and left for MK for his "night" out (he's going to make a separate post about it). I laid Luke down for a nap, then took a bath with my water lily bath bomb.
It turned the water such a pretty color! I felt like I was bathing in the ocean.
After my bath, I hung out on the balcony for a bit.
When Luke woke up, we walked over to Kidani.
This isn't a great picture, but I LOVE these lanterns. In general, I love the decor over at Kidani. We're currently booked there for our next trip, but we're going to try switching to the Boardwalk.
After walking around for a bit, we hung out in Community Hall. There wasn't really anything age-appropriate for Luke to do, but I let him crawl around.
Brian called and said he was back, so we met him at the room, then changed and got ready to go out. We took Luke down to the lobby to get his caricature drawn. I asked the artist to draw Luke in a safari outfit with a giraffe. Luke was wearing a Tigger outfit, so the guy drew a Tigger-like tiger into the picture, and a monkey, and then right before he was finished he's like, "You said you wanted a giraffe, right?" Haha. I don't have a picture of it--I'll try to remember to upload one.
Next, we went to Downtown Disney, and it was raining a bit. I was actually excited for the rain, because we had bought a plastic cover for the stroller and I was glad we actually had a chance to use it. We looked in the pin shop then decided to get dinner. I wanted Wolfgang Puck Express. Brian wanted Bodie's All American. WPE was on my birthday list, and I didn't know if we would make it back for another meal at DTD, so I got my food at WPE and took it over to Bodie's to eat with Brian.
I got the four cheese pesto pizza and I LOVED IT. It was definitely a 4.
Brian loved his meal too and also gave it a 4. His burger really did look pretty delicious.
I think this was a Baileys milkshake?
After dinner, we looked in the World of Disney, then to Once Upon a Toy and got a box of Mr. Potato Head parts for Luke's birthday with the gift card Brian's dad had given him.
We were happy with what we'd gotten, but when we tried to pay the cashier insisted that we go back and cram some more pieces in the box. "Each piece represents four dollars. Here's four dollars! Here's another four dollars!" She said that if we dug deep enough we would be able to find a slice of pizza.
Brian had to keep digging until she finally found one at the very bottom of the bin.
DAY 9 SUMMARY: I was starting to feel sick, but overall we had a good day. The pictures of Luke with Donald, Baloo, and King Louie are so precious. That pizza at Wolfgang Puck Express was the culinary highlight of the trip for me. I did 3 things on my birthday list bringing the total up to 20/30 I think.

Enjoying your update! When is your next trip? I think you said it before but I'm spacey We want to try and get a studio at BWV during F&W. I was kicking myself the other day for not get more potato head pieces when my girls were playing the other day. I love all of your pictures they are really great- did you get the bath bomb at Basin?

Yep, the bath bomb came from Basin. I got a few but the water lily was my favorite.

No support needed, completely hollow. I printed mine with a .3mm layer height, I will try it again with a smaller layer height once I finish setting up my printer with a smaller nozzle. I suggest a using a fan. The wheels are in a separate STL I just drilled holes in them and mounted them with nails, My plan was to model the axles but I got distracted. Because It was imported the model isn't perfect so don't be too surprised if your g-code crater complains about it a little. The side mirrors have a removable support.

Offshore Angler™ Chum Bags
Chum up the bite with these Offshore Angler Chum Bags! Designed to be used once and then thrown away, these Chum Bags are a great way to increase your on-the-water productivity, while eliminating messy clean-up. The Chum Bag's holes easily create a chum slick and the draw string secures the contents. No lingering odors. 17" x 17"; 6 pack. Imported.
Offshore Angler™ Chum Bags 3 3
chum bag i like it, it worked its cheap remember to recycle it when your done only thing i dont like i dont think its biodegradeable? but its cheap and works good November 18, 2012
Off Shore Chum bags The Off-Shore Angler disposable chum bags are inexpensive and work quite well. While they are a bit smaller than some more expensive bags, they are the just the right fit for one (or two) 5 lb chum blocks. When we get back from a day of fishing, it sure is nice knowing we don't have to rinse and clean more expensive bags. Really nice for tired folks to simply throw out these bags. Used them for years for my in-shore fishing and have never had a problem. July 12, 2010
They work!!! As far as chum bags go, you can't go wrong with these. Chum bags typically cost around $7 each when you buy them @ your local bait stores (on your way to the water); and these come several (I think 6) to a pack. Additionally, the holes are just about the right size. A block of frozen chum lasts about 3 hours (or better). And when I'm done fishing I simply trash them when I get back to the marina. VERY COST EFFECTIVE!!! January 25, 2010

The moment the TV camera opened with a master shot of the VP debate set at the Center College of Kentucky auditorium, you knew things were going to be different. For dramatic seconds that felt like minutes, the camera held on a long shot of the back of the night's moderator, veteran ABC journalist Martha Raddatz.
Raddatz, who currently serves as the network's Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent, is moderating because she has spent more time in the Iraq and Afghanistan battlefields than either Joe Biden or Paul Ryan. Later, in the debate, her gritty experience will power her skepticism when their answers flunk the smell test.
In sum, several things were immediately clear about Raddatz: Jim Lehrer, she's not. TV news desk jockey, she's not. And at rest her personality and body language feel formidable, even from behind.

Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATIC Reviews and Owner Comments
7 Reviews
2005 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATICVisitor, Schenectady, NY, March 27, 2013 16:29I will write the following in capital letters to really drive the point home. DON'T EVER BUY A MERCEDES BENZ! DON'T EVER BUY A CAR FROM KEELER MOTORS, LOCATED IN LATHAN, NY! I bought a 2005 MB c240 4matic with 41k on it. Keeler MB sold it to me with a bent rim, a bad transmission seal, and they never changed the oil. The car has been a nightmare! I contacted MB USA and they did not even return an email or phone call. My advice to anyone looking to buy a Mercedes Benz is, DON'T! Especially from KEELER MB.
2005 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATICVisitor, Newton, MA, August 30, 2012 18:34As I aged, I've dreamed of buying a car that would last and grow old with me. That's why I first purchased a Mercedes C240 in 2003. Within 18 months it had twenty-eight, yes 28 repairs, ranging from fuel gauge malfunctions to a myriad of other annoying problems; reluctantly, the service center was my second home. I traded it in, not because of the astonishing number of horrific breakdowns and repairs, but because with the first snowfall, the car became a serious threat to my life and the lives of others in its path. I know how to drive and brake slow and steady in snow - I learned in Montreal - but this car could not keep a straight line on any road with an inch of snow. (On one snowy road, the car did a spontaneous, uncontrolled white knuckle 360 spin, missing an oncoming by 30 feet). Our slick M-B salesman told me that the 2005 model 4-WD had corrected all these issues and would be reliable and rock solid. I fell for the pitch, hanging on to my dream. At first my only problem was replacing 8, yes eight tires within 18 months, until I wised up and bought Michelines far from the dealer. Then a few failed headlights cost over $800. The chrome paint peeled off the drink holder within months, and some trwim fell off. The "modern" dashboard screen which displayed time, temperature, trip mileage, mpg was completely unreadable in the sunlight (white text on balck background) and the controls for scrolling though sub-routines unintelligible. Mercedes excellence? were designers oblivious to the powerpoint slide presentation rule: black text on white is far more visible? And then the right inside door pull broke off, even though 99% of the time I drive alone. In post-WWII Europe, sad little French cars (e.g. Simca, citroen) had problems like this, but a M-B in the 21st century??? And then the gear shift box broke loose?!?!?!! And then a B service routine resulted in an estimate of $4500 in repairs, from shocks, to brakes, to oil leaks, battery, suspension to... Goodbye Mercedes - use your slick ads to sell a "status car", a myth, propaganda at its best. As for me, I want a real car, not a 1950's-era European joke. A Ford or an Infiniti or Lexus, or Camry will sit in my driveway as soon as I shed this third world model.
2005 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATICVisitor, Dundalk, MD, April 08, 2012 15:56C240 very smooth sexy car, handle is awesome, nice smooth engine my top mph= 140mph :) i like driving fast, however the breaks wear kinda quickly i have 70k miles and my door pannel motor broke on my passenger side dont really know how, but other than that snow is awesome with 4 matic benz is the best
2003 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATICVisitor, Plymouth, MA, December 18, 2010 11:30I feel the build quality is very high. However, if you care more about reliability than handling, comfort and a smooth drive train. Look at a lexus.
2005 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATICVisitor, Cary, NC, September 08, 2010 13:07Have over 45K miles and have not expeirienced any major problems. I've managed to greatly reduce my maintanance expences (one half) by utilizing a local repair shop that specializes in Mercedes only but does not charge the dealer prices.
2003 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATICVisitor, Washington, DC, September 08, 2010 10:51WORST Mercedes-Benz ever made! This car has cost me thousands of dollars in repairs and my extended warranty has paid out more than I paid for the car to actually fix items! I have been to the dealership 15 times in 2.5 years in which 4 of those times were for the same problem that has yet to be corrected. I filed multiple complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) so if anyone else has major issues/problems, please file a complaint.
2005 Mercedes-Benz C240 4MATICVisitor, Ann Arbor, MI, August 03, 2010 09:35Purchased this for my son used used in 2008. The dealership said this would be a perfect car for him with virtually no problems. What a joke. Since owning this car, we've paid over $3K in repairs. Most recently the back and front sway bar bushings needed replacing. To make matters worse - and to increase the cost of the repair to the customer - Mercedes stopped making the bushings for the front of the car such that the entire sway bar needs replacing. I would never recommend this car to anyone - not even my enemies AND I'll never own another Mercedes.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:less than 1 dayPros:
I got this set because of the color, and it came as depicted. Very nice! The quality of the plastic isn't bad, and the clear piece that the remote fits into (for screwing in attachments) is very snug (good). The silicon case is easy enough to put on, and fits perfectly.Cons:
None really.Bottomline:
I would recommend this set; I bought it as a gift and tried it out to make sure everything fits. It fits, and I love the blue.

The location is excellent - right next to west lake. You can pop out for a walk any time and you'll find yourself in the park. The staff there were exceptionally lovely. They were very helpful and catering, and they made us feel like home. I also love the decor on the inside. Would recommend to anyone! - Anonymous
