To stroller or not?
We will be taking DS2(autistic) to WDW for the first time and thinking if we should use a stroller or not with him. We don't use one here with him as he usually refuses to sit in them. He will even refuse to sit in a shopping cart basket. DH said that he is ok with carrying him around everywhere (shoulders) but I know that will get old fast. Even tho we do that now WDW is alot more walking then your normal day of shopping.
Ok so here are the options I have if we go with the stroller.
We can bring our own so when he does use it he is more comfortable but if he doesn't use it I'll have to lug it around. Guess we can have it hold the diaper bag. It is one that is a little nicer then an umbrella stroller but just as small.
We can rent a stroller and if he doesn't want to use it we can leave it behind and then get a new one when he does need it later. But he might not be comfortable.
So opinions from the experienced?

Since DS doesn't like a stroller I think the easiest would be to bring the one he knows While your DH has winderful intentions I din't think that is going to be a viable solution past day one

Our younger dd also has autism. Last year, she was 6 when we went in June. I always bring her stroller for 2 reasons:
1. she also has hypotonia, so her muscles fatigue much quicker than a typical child's
2. she gets overstimulated in crowds. Her stroller has a large canopy, and she pulls it down to give herself some peace and quiet.
Her stroller goes up to 55 lbs, and she's very small for her age, so we could easily use it this summer. She's made a lot of progress in P/T and O/T, so we may not need it.
If your son doesn't use his at the mall, zoo, etc as a quiet place to retreat, then the only reason I can think you'd want it is the sheer distances you walk at WDW. Especially on consecutive back to back days. If you have the space, I'd vote to bring it.

I have to agree that your husband having him on your shoulders is not the best solution. My brother in law tried that with my then 4yr old nephew, and it didn't work out very well. I think you should bring your stroller from home.
I'm not sure how big your son is, but would a wheelchair be an option?

My friend took her 4yr old twins last March and didn't take strollers because (like my boys) her children walk everywhere all the time.
She wore a pedometer and on their first day she walked over 9 miles - they didn't even finish the park because of the girls being tired.
Day 2 she rented a park stroller and the girls hated it so that night she went to Walmart and bought two cheap umbrella strollers.
Hopefully your DS will be willing to sit in his stroller once his feet get tired xx

We bought a cheap stroller there because we forgot ours. Renting is far too expensive.

My DS4 has autism too. We would never try to go without his stroller.
In some ways, though, it depends on why he doesn't want to sit in his stroller - is it because he has too much energy and wants to run around, is it a sensory problem in itself, or is it that he wants to be carried (because he has anxiety and needs physical contact with you to feel secure).
If it is a need to use energy, then I would say bring your stroller to have as a "safe zone" for when he becomes overwhelmed. There will be plenty of opportunities for him to run around and walk too! (I would recommend a child harness!) The stroller was so very helpful to us - we had the stroller as wheelchair tag/Guest Assistance Card so we could take it in lines. My son used the stroller as a barrior between himself and others when he was nervous or had to much sensory input.
If he doesn't like his stroller for comfort, because it doesn't feel as safe to him as being carried, try to work with it before you go. Bring the stroller inside where he feels secure and try having him sit in it sometimes while he is in a quiet mood or doing a sit down activity. The more he is in the stroller and happy, the more he will be able to use it as a safe zone in Disney.
My son loves electronic gadgets! He plays with my iphone, ipod, Dsi etc when he is "hiding" in the stroller - which make him feel safer and distracted when the world becomes overwhelming. Perhaps have a certain desired toy or gadget that he can only use in the stroller so he begins to relate it to a happy thing.
Good luck!

Disney is exhausting for kids and adults alike, I would definitely bring the stroller. My DD4 always hated the stroller, but I'll tell ya she loved it at Disney when she was little and even *gasp* napped in it. She never naps let along in her stroller.

I would definitely take/rent a stroller to at least have as an option once he tires...and he will definitely tire out. On our last trip, our dd who was 3 at the time, hadn't been in a stroller since around age 2. We go to the mall, aquarium, etc. and she always walks, but to Disney, I wouldn't dream of doing it without renting a stroller. The heat along with walking miles a day is enough to totally exhaust an adult, let alone a child. We rented a single stroller last year and if I had it to do over, I would have gotten the double for extra room, but the single got the job done none the less. Most kids are out of strollers for the most part by age 3 (of course each child is different), however a day at the mall or even a good size zoo, is nothing compared to Disney. I would take one or at least set funds aside to rent one at least as back up. I have read that many people think that their kids will do fine without one only to end up having to rent one half way through the day or at least get one the next day. We take a towel or blanket in with us so that dd can sit on it for extra cushion. Having a cover for the stroller or even just a poncho will keep it dry in freak showers and darker colored ponchos will even shield off some of the sun and keep the seat from getting hot, which does happen at times.

I would bring it and you can always leave it some where and go back to it. My DS was 2 last year when we went and I couldn't imagine not bringing it since there was always a time where he need a break for a few minutes. It's great to hold the diaper bags and sweat shirts if nothing else.

I would definitely take a stroller! Worst case scenario: it sits in the hotel room for the days you're there. But that amount of walking is hard on older kids, so unless you're prepared to carry him a lot of the time, take your stroller for your own peace of mind (and your back muscles!).

Why a gay cupcake is worth a thousand words

These cupcakes may not be the official Freedom to Marry cupcake, but this simple display of rainbow baked goods and the Freedom to Marry logo was really significant for me. It represented how my family has become more open about discussing gay issues and how confidently my mother is willing to assert that her son is an advocate for marriage.

For years, national real estate experts advised prospective buyers that they should plan to remain in a home for at least five years. Staying that long would improve the odds that buyers would break even or make money when they sold. Those who planned to remain for shorter periods might be better off renting.
I heard the same rule of thumb from local real estate pros.
That has changed: Beth Pinsker, who writes the Your Money column for Reuters, says most online buy vs. rent calculators these days use a period of seven years. She points out that Trulia economist Jed Kolko says the period is about 8 1/2 years. And that national real estate columnist Ilyce Glink thinks it's 10 years.
Ten years is a long time.
Pat Riley of the Allen Tate Company thinks that's, well, "crazy."
Also, he said, home appreciation is likely to return to historic norms, which means the old advice might someday be new again.
The five-year rule was always broad-stroke advice, of course. Whether your home will appreciate enough to cover sales costs is a simple question with lots of complicated answers. Remaining in a home five years, or even 10, is no guarantee that you'll have lots of equity when you sell. It's another important question to consider when you're debating whether to buy, but not the only one.
Riley, president of the firm that owns Allen Tate Realty and related companies, said that for years following World War II, the average home appreciated 2.5 to 3 percent a year. All markets are local, but that was the trend.
He said that consistent appreciation, and a growing larger economy, allowed the average family to move every four to six years. That's when the five-year advice came along. More recently, with plunging home values and the uncertain jobs picture, the average family moves only every nine years. "It's …the longest time between purchases," Riley said.
Riley expects that average appreciation to return to historic and stable levels.
Last year, as home prices rebounded, appreciation was 9 percent. That's clearly not sustainable. This year, it's expected to be 5 to 6 percent. But Riley said it's heading back toward 2.5 to 3 percent per year.
Boomers will continue to downsize, he said, and millennials who have been carrying student debt will start buying in earnest. "Millennials are going to start marrying ... and we'll see growth in households." Families will move more often.
"To me, that 9 is going to crash," he said. "That 9 is going to go back to 5."

Bruce Strachan sentenced to 3 consecutive terms of life in prison
Updated On: Dec 12 2013 06:16:30 PM EST
A judge has sentenced a Lake Worth man to three consecutive terms of life in prison for a Lake Worth man who killed his ex-wife and her two friends in 2009.
The judge's sentence came late Thursday afternoon following a jury's recommendation.
Bruce Strachan was convicted last month of the three murders in 2009. He shot his ex-wife, Tamika Murphy, and her friends, Ronald Wright and Debbie Sears, with an AK-47.
Strachan was on the run for a while. He was finally tracked down at an aunt's house and arrested.
All week long, jurors heard his relatives testify about Strachan's childhood. His mother was a crack addict and the children often had to fend for themselves, finding food and shelter.
Strachan faced the death penalty.

Perhaps my post was aggressive but most other forums just snip out parts that are irrelevant. I found it very irritating how one poster addressed the subject.
Besides that, deleting my reply rubbed me the wrong way that in a topic about someone wanting to know the upsides and downsides about open relationships, the only one advising against was deleted.
And another ones gone.
So glad to hear you are ok. Please do take care
You sound really overworked, get all the rest you need and heal soon
Sigh another one leaves
makes me really sad that every "visitor message" on my wall are all from now-deleted posters
It seems like Benvolio and Jack Springer are mounting a right wing takeover of CEP from the number of threads started yesterday and today.
I really gotta stop looking at hook up apps, it's just depressing.
Jesus, i need to find something that'll let me sleep for more than a couple of hours each night,
I went into the gay "sports bar" in Chelsea that I hate to watch the final quarter of the Nets game after work. One of the most handsome men I have ever met greeted me before I could even get to the bar, introduced me to his friends and then bought me a drink...
...only to pawn me off to his gay friend about twice my age. Figures.
Draven, I am all for you venting. Don't hurt yourself physically. Stop worrying about other people. They are here for the same reason you are, venting away.
I haven't had this to happen very often but when it does...
When you meet someone, and your honest-to-god first impression of them is this right here.
I actually had this experience last night, with this woman who lives across the street from my friends' apartment - the straight couple I housekeep for. He and I were talking about stuff out on their balcony of his 1st floor apartment, when the woman in the apartment building across the street came over. And hearing her talk and stuff, I wanted to just turn around and walk off, but out of politeness, I didn't - There's no nice way to just tell someone, "Frankly, ma'am, I find you just a tad bit creepy as hell".
I cannot stand the girl I'm stuck with as the other overnight cashier at my store. She's always 10 or 20 minutes late. She's very quiet, but catty as hell, in the sense that if you address her for ANYTHING, and she decides that she doesn't want to talk to you, she'll just ignore you, until you call her about 4 or 5 times.
And, to boot, she's not the sharpest tool in the shed, either. Last night, she asked me about how to check the available balance on a WIC card for a customer. I told her very clearly, to follow normal procedure, as if the customer is actually checking out - We have to pre-authorize the card, and the register prints a receipt containing the customer's available balance, divided by each specific item and type of item and size. After that balance receipt prints, you can either check the customer out if they're actually checking out, or (if the customer just wants a balance) have them remove their WIC card from our debit/credit card reader, and the cashier signs out of the register completely, then signs back in (user ID and passcode) to ring up the next sale.
After explaining it to her twice, while I changed out the money in the self-checkout machines, I finally got to a stopping point to where I could go over and take over her register, and just do it myself. Lines were starting to back up anyway.
Then, in another incident...OK, so we were told by our overnight assistant manager that the entire store has store operations evaluations Monday morning. Our responsibility as overnight cashiers was to scrub and clean the flatbed scanners (manually taking the device up out of the counter and scrubbing underneath, where all the dirt and debris collect), as well as under the conveyor belts, as there's a lot of stuck-on crud, dirt, etc., up in there. Our manager tells us that we need the produce department's shop vac to vacuum inside all the crevices inside the registers.
This cashier literally asks me, "What's a shop vac?"
/my head...
And people call me friggin' sheltered! /wtf...
gotta vent real quick.
right now like yesterday, my life was WAY better when i was closeted and in denial with my sexuality, trying to convince myself that i'm straight than how it is right now. you know, i really don't want to feel this way about anybody else especially my own gay people but i REALLY hate some of my gay counterparts. i mean as in i personally HATE them. personality wise, they are godawful as in they are fucking hateful towards those around them. i wouldn't mind beating the shit out of them to show them how much i HATE them for that. they are horrible and ugly on the inside and it's just fucking sickening. i guess they feel because they're attractive to themselves that that gives them the right to belittle other people and etc as if they have the right to do that to others. i wouldn't mind fucking beating their face in with a baseball bat or dragging them out on the street. this has nothing to do with being gay but it has to do with acting like a fucking decent human being and treating the people around you like other human beings and being respectful. that's how much i fucking hate them.

one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Is there a way to undo seeing someone naked? LOL!!!!!! Because the awkwardness.............it just stays with you for a long time.
Last week I was half nude, in my small bath towels with my housemate walking my direction and making a comment on my body lol. Being really awkward since.
Today I walked in on her bf naked while using in the bathroom LOL!!! (He didn't lock the door ) This is going to be hard for me to say hi every time I saw him lol.
working in Newark was the fucking worst. I don't think there was anyone at that office who worked nights/weekends and didn't have their car broken into at least once/month; but the only secure garage in the area charged $200/month (and even still, you had to leave your keys there and the garage left all the cars unlocked... it was secure insofar as no one was going to take your car out of there, but if you left an MP3 player in your cup holder or something, it might not be there when you go to pick your car up 8 hours later)
if a guy is hosting a party and his boyfriend is there... and halfway through, the guy and the boyfriend disappear (and the guy's bedroom door suddenly closes), you'd think it wouldn't take too much insight to not open the door and barge in.
but it's cool; it's not awkward at all now that half my boyfriend's friends have seen me in a jockstrap and not much else
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Thank goodness my friends I housekeep for only live a block from me. Had to crash on their couch today - I think I left my keys, including the one to my apt, at my store. An hour's bus and train ride away. Didn't realize it until I got home, ready to crash.
^^^ Have a good night sleep mate
Jesus christ, shit nightime tv.
But tonight is my last night before days off. I can pretty much guaran-damn-tee that it'll be rough tonight. Store evaluations in the morning.
I just pray tonight will not be a repeat of last night - no one in dairy, no one in frozen foods. Our frozen foods freezer in the store's backroom is literally barricaded - all you can do is open the door and pull pallets of freight merchandise out.
And hopefully it got done today, because sometime this evening, we are to have, I think they said 3 pallets more coming in. So we basically have 3 whole pallets of frozen foods that have to be kept cold, and literally nowhere for it to go.
I so need to hurry up and get this internship my algebra professor would try and hook me up with - he's got connections.
I need to go after my dream as much as I need to hurry up and get out of retail. Right now, things are just going from bad to worse., at my supermarket.
I love my friend and I feel bad that she's been out of work for a year... but any time she makes snarky comments about how much weight she's lost and how easy it's been, I really have to bite my tongue not to say "well, not all of us have the leisure time to spend all day, every day working out and taking long walks through the park."
On a laptop, why is the "right click" on the right. It just seems that because the majority of users are right handed that it would be on the left. That way you wouldn't always be hitting the "left click," which is really on the right.
If they can't figure that out, why not make one of them ribbed so you would be able to feel if you were on the correct one. As it is now - on HP at least - they each have the same smooth surface.
Annoying as hell.
This is probably not just a girl thing. But seriously people need to treat/appreciate/love their boyfriend nicely. I helped my teammate's gf move house today and boy is she a huge DIVA! She can't stop complaining, criticizing and scolding + insulting her bf, as if asking him to do all the heavy lifting work isn't enough.
He actually broke down crying (briefly only) in front of me after all that. I feel really bad for him that she's taking him for granted. He must really like this girl. She did thanked us so I guess that makes it even.

So we had a work dinner meeting with some investors and a "married" guy was totally flirting with me. Corny will like this comment. I knew he was gay because he was wearing a salmon-colored shirt. If he didn't have a ring, I would have been all over him but I believe in monogamy.
Jockboy deleted I was very found of his posts !

gotta vent real quick.
WHAT THE FUCK ELSE IS NEXT? you know, there's a fucking flying ant infestation in our fucking house now. GODDAMNIT!!!!! why can't it be good news like one of these motherfucking employers calling me for a job interview? one of these spots called me yesterday and next thing i know, we're having a brief short interview where he's asking me all these questions. i tell him yes, no and whatever. he says he'll call me back and thanks for calling. GIVE ME A JOB, DAMNIT. i'm good for it
and another thing too. what the fuck is up with the state of new jersey giving me MORE money on my tax return when i'm unemployed than when i was employed about a year ago? they gave me 70 bucks this year and last year, i didn't get shit. not a dime. WHAT THE FUCK? fuckers love me better when i'm aggy, fucked up and ashy. damnit.

Good luck refuji, i'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
god damn my head is splitting from arguing with my boyfriend all night... not even arguing about anything important, he's just an argumentative drunk.
we were standing 3 blocks from the World Trade Center Freedom Tower and across the street from an NYPD cop car and he was insisting that we were in New Jersey.
no more drinking for him for awhile.
Been here for 10 days, already got sick with tonsillitis.... went to a emergency doctor visit since I'm not from this area. had to pay $100 for the visit ( even though my insurance claimed it will cover it ). The next day went to ER had to be put on steroids & Antibiotics. Oh yeah also got into a small car accident outside of a parking lot. This elder couple was pulling out of the parking spot and backed into my BF's car. It scared the F*** out of me. ........lol Hopefully things will get better
My team mate's gf broke up with him yesterday. Can't say I didn't see that coming after the house moving event. A bit worried he will become an emotional wreck during this period of time because it's our finals and supposed to graduate in July. He's already planning to work out and change his look so that she might have a change of heart - dragging me to go to gym and sports activities.
My feeling would be hurt 99% if I get that comment lol

Beautiful hotel and great staff. No complains about the hotel. My suggestion is to have signage indicating the hotel's location at each of the 3 turns from 280 to the parking lot.

Great hotel, especially for the price. Clean and orderly, as to be expected. Pool was very convenient. Only thing missing was a mini-fridge and possibly a microwave in the room.

This was a typical Hampton Inn, nothing overly special, but still comfortable. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful and the bed was firm but great for my back. Unfortunately, none of the HD channels on TV were working, including HBO. Out of 73 channels offered, under half of them were watchable. The girl at the front desk told me this has been going on for about a month. I requested a discount on my stay since they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, but they didn't know how to do it since it was through Priceline. ...

The Great American Road Trip II - 29 - Whistling Dixie
We wanted to leave our hotel room as soon as possible, so we ended up getting on the road out of Louisiana at around 9:20. Our first stop of the day was Vicksburg, Mississippi, which we arrived at around 11:00. We entered the visitor center and watched a short movie detailing the events of the Vicksburg campaign before going on the auto tour around the battlefield.
Vicksburg was a stronghold along the Mississippi River and widely considered the key to holding the river by both Confederate and Union forces. The Confederates stationed at Vicksburg were led by General John Pemberton, who was one of the more incompetent generals of the war. Ulysses S. Grant, along with other Union generals, had tried various times to get to Vicksburg with no success, but Pemberton left Vicksburg eastbound and engaged Grant's forces. Grant routed Pemberton's forces until Pemberton - for some unknown reason - thought it was a good idea to retreat the entire way back to Vicksburg, which was built up with fortifications.
When Grant arrived, he was anxious enough to get the campaign over with and secure the Mississippi for the Union to order frontal assaults on the nearly impregnable fortress that Vicksburg had become, but these were unsuccessful. Eventually, having more supplies than the Confederates, he outlasted them in trenches until the southern forces could no longer bear the hunger and disease through the ranks. The surrender of Vicksburg occurred almost exactly the same time as Gettysburg.
The auto tour took us along various sights along Union lines and trenches. While veritable forests have grown up almost everywhere on the battlefield now, the hills are clearly unnatural and are the remnants of the Confederate stronghold. We worked our way past large stone and marble monuments set up by states to commemorate where their infantry units were located along the battlefield, and in that regard it's very similar to Gettysburg. The open spaces there were made it easy to see the eerie hilliness of the terrain, with the lines clearly distinguishable by the naked eye even today.
(As far as monuments go, Illinois had the best one: a massive domed structure with the names of every known Illinois native present at the battle. They were organized by unit and within unit they were alphabetized, making it easy to spot various set of brothers who had signed up at the same time. The floor had a mosaic design depicting Illinois' seal, and at the very top of the dome was a hole the same size as the seal on the floor. I'm sure there was more symbolism in the structure there than I noticed.)
The heat was ridiculously oppressive, as the dry heat we'd accustomed ourselves to in the southwest had morphed into mugginess so thick I'd venture to call it a warm airborne slush. Opportunities to walk around outside were already severely limited due to the fact that they don't want people climbing all over the battlefield and that there are no less than three species of poisonous snake in the region, so we didn't miss anything.
(Not only did the siege of Vicksburg result in one of the first uses of trench warfare in history, but also featured a crater blown into Confederate lines - both tactics used at Petersburg later on in the war.)
Before the road looped back around to go back along the Confederate lines, there was the USS Cairo on display as well as a small museum dedicated to it. The Cairo was one of seven steamboat warships that made up the Union's small inland navy, and was sunk by the first usage of electric torpedoes (or what we'd call "mines") as it rolled along at its max speed of a whopping nine MPH along the Yazoo River. All of the hands safely got off the ship, but the Cairo sank to the bottom of the river and was covered by silt. The ship was lost and nearly forgotten until the 1950s, when scientists ascertained its position underneath the silt on the bottom of the river. In the mid-60s, a crane - itself, ironically, known as the Cairo - helped to lift the ship out of the water. After accidentally cutting the ship in two, it was towed away for restoration which continued into the early 80s. It was then transported to Vicksburg for display under a gigantic white tent.
How good a shape the ship is in cannot be overstated. While load-bearing beams that had rotted were replaced during its restoration, almost everything on the ship was still original, including the boiler area and gigantic pistons that drove the water wheel. (The ship ran on a ton of coal an hour when running at top speed.) The explosion that led to its sinking is still visible near the front of the ship, and the coolest thing about the experience is that they built a trail through the ship so you can actually look at what the sailors did while on it. The museum next to it showcases the preserved artifacts found on the ship, such as vases that look as good as new and smooth-looking, nearly unworn leather shoes. The brass firing mechanisms used on the cannons were in astounding condition and bottles of ammonia were not only still intact, but also half-full. The bell recovered from the ship had actually trapped 1863 air and, when it was recovered, burped it back out.
After exploring the Cairo, we'd had enough of the mugginess and got back to the car to get around what remained of the battlefield, which mainly consisted of more monuments for Union and Confederate units alike.
We left the park around 1:30 and headed on I-20 to Jackson, which is not only Mississippi's capital city but the home of the Mississippi Braves, the Atlanta Braves' double-A affiliate. Their stadium was nice and we purchased two pennants (one for the minor and major league teams alike) from a very dull lady who barely talked and reacted blankly to the things we said. We thanked her anyway and were back on the road within short order. In about an hour's time we arrived in Meridian, the last town of any repute before the Alabama border. We got gas there, and - quite hungry by this point - we went into town in a futile attempt at getting something to eat. We got a sense of the Meridian downtown in as far as we wanted to get, but we left hungry.
We continued along the highway as magnolias began in the median and along the sides of the roads. The magnolias got bigger as we approached the Alabama border, which we did a little after 4:00. We stopped at a badly laid-out welcome center and learned that the double-A Birmingham Barons were not playing today, but were yesterday and would be tomorrow. This threw another wrench in the debate between stopping in Birmingham and just sucking it up to get to Atlanta, which continued in the car in various forms as I drove us into Birmingham, where we finally found a parking space at a hotel and went in to inquire about getting an Internet signal for the iPad map software and possibly a room for the night.
The hotel was full, despite their severe lack of parking due to repaving of half their lot, but the stop was not a waste as we met and talked with their assistant general manager, who is originally from Wilkesboro, North Carolina. He knew a lot about the evolution of Charlotte as well as the Kannapolis/Concord area due to the fact that he'd worked in Concord hotels, and is neither a fan of racing nor the rampant Dale Earnhardt worship present in that region of the state. Hungry but fearful of eating too much, we split a club sandwich and hit the road again to a hotel an hour away, which we'd booked in Oxford on advice from the Wilkesboro fellow, who spoke highly of the hotel quality in the area.
The sun began to set as we worked our way through the surprisingly upscale Birmingham. We avoided a lethal time-killing combination of road construction, backups through multiple stoplights, and a crash ripe for rubbernecking by getting on the Interstate and heading on out to Oxford. We made good time as we worked our way through more NC-like terrain at the southern end of the Appalachian chain where the mountains are no different than large hills. Despite an utterly black road that no one could possibly see - dark to the point that I was convinced it sucked light in and ate it like a ravenous wolf on steroids - and small, highly faded stop signs away from the road to the point that only I saw them - and out of the corner of my eye at that - we made it safe and sound to the hotel at 8:30, where we ordered a proper dinner of three hamburgers. While not great they were certainly serviceable enough, and we wolfed them down along with many glasses of lemonade. (We didn't go the pitcher route this time, though I think we easily could have finished one off.)
Tomorrow: we return home after a month on the road. Today marks the day we go beyond the 28 of last year, but, ironically, we may just end up with fewer miles even though we could nearly encircle last year's route with this year's route. I suppose we've cut down on the meandering this time.

Noisy Students!!!from AMH1
It was a real shame because it's very central and has secure parking but I would have to say avoid, or at least take earplugs!
Awfulfrom np2006
Setting the Record Straightfrom A TripAdvisor Member
One thing they could of also had was a second mirror in the bedroom as oppose one small one in the bathroom. As you girls know getting ready for a night out with a tiny mirror between you could lead to violence! Anyway we had a fantastic time and a very relaxed stay. I would recommend Premier Aparmtents to anyone going to Liverpool and we will definetely be going back!
A very happy customer from Ireland.
A room? Pah! Give me an apartment!from BeckyH
Needs a make overfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Good location in the city centrefrom Hartlepudlian
The apartments are roomy with all the usual facilities - we had apartment 306 (beware of 312 - its extremely small). Everything was in working condition, but if you like a thick pillow the best idea is to take your own - we had three each ... and they were still not very deep.
We think that they are very good value for money, afterall if its too bad weather to go out there is always the DVD player or the CD player, the TV or even as a last resort you can always watch the washing machine going round...... - always check the various websites as these companies all seem to charge differently.
good value, great locationfrom inchvale

Top Local Tips for Liverpool
Liverpool FC / Everton FC, Mathews Street Festival Definitely while you're there, go see a football match if you can. The city of Liverpool has two top level teams, Liverpool FC and Everton FC. Both are very good, though Liverpool is the weathier of the two and has historically been more successful. Nonetheless, both teams possess top ranked and well known players........ and if you come in August, you absolutely cannot afford to miss the Mathews Street Festival. It's a week long festival with tribute and original bands from all over the world playing on several different stages throughout the city. and one more thing... avoid the city center at night if you can. Can get a little crazy at night, but is spectacular during the day. Go to the Albert Dock area as well. And see the Liverpool statue birds, they're famous for something.

Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY:US), the bailed-out auto and home lender, confirmed that its Residential Capital unit is considering bankruptcy and estimated its own loss from the filing could range from $400 million to $1.25 billion.
"Market deterioration has led to fewer sources of, and significantly reduced levels of, liquidity available to finance ResCap's operations," Detroit-based Ally said today in its quarterly filing (ALLY:US) with securities regulators. The parent company and its money-losing mortgage unit are discussing a range of options for ResCap, which "may include a reorganization under bankruptcy laws, which ResCap is actively considering."
Speculation has swirled that ResCap would seek court protection (ALLY:US) from creditors to advance Ally Chief Executive Officer Michael Carpenter's plan to repay more than $17 billion in U.S. bailout funds. Carpenter, who once predicted that a pending initial public offering could value Ally at $30 billion, later said the sale won't happen without progress on resolving the mortgage unit.
The bailout left the U.S. Treasury Department holding a 74 percent stake in Ally. The company reported this week that first-quarter profit more than doubled to $310 million as mortgage operations improved.

Posts from Appetizer
Recipe: Homemade Jerky in the Oven
Recipes from The Kitchn
First grade starts in less than two weeks and the talk coming from my little girl is more about lunches than what to wear on the first day. With my daughter, it's never a sure thing if she'll eat her whole lunch, but if there's a piece of sweet and salty jerky nearby, she's sure to mow it. So with school on the horizon and a beckoning London Broil at the neighborhood butcher, all signs this week pointed to making a big batch of jerky.
The Best Way to Keep Guacamole Green
Tips from The Kitchn
My husband is something of a guacamole connoisseur. When good avocados can be found in our decidedly non-tropical state, he scoops them up and works on perfecting his guacamole technique. So I've also spent some time trying to make his guacamole last. In the rare instances we don't polish off the bowl, it seems a terrible shame to waste an ounce of that good green stuff.
But my efforts to keep guacamole green and fresh overnight have always failed — until now. I've discovered a simple, foolproof, and easy way to keep guacamole green and delicious — and no, it doesn't involve avocado pits or extra lime juice. Want to see how I do it?
Summer Recipe: Grilled Cherry Tomato, Corn, and Goat Cheese Pizza
Recipes from The Kitchn
Pizza on the grill is my number one way to entertain outdoors. Just ask any of my friends and neighbors, and they'll tell you there is always a fresh pie on the grates. I love creating new flavors using up the last of my farmers market finds, and cherry tomato, corn, and goat cheese pizza is one of the best. This grilled pizza showcases some of my favorite summer ingredients, and the glorious taste of that summer goodness will please your dinner guests completely.
How To Make Hummus from Scratch
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
I'm fairly convinced that hummus is some of the best stuff on earth. It might look beige and boring in the bowl, but this blend of soft chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic creates a dip that is so much more than the sum of its parts. Skip the store bought stuff — making it yourself is so easy and will be far tastier than just about anything from the deli section.
Recipe: Beer-Battered Onion Rings
Recipes from The Kitchn
Onion rings are incredibly easy to make, and they are definitely much less fussy than homemade fries. All you have to do is slice them, dunk them in a quick batter, and fry 'em up. You can serve them as an appetizer with a dip (ranch dressing always proves popular) or as a side with practically anything.
Why Crostini Are the Perfect Appetizer for Summertime
Recipe: Grilled Smoked Sausage Skewers with Three Zesty Sauces
Recipes from The Kitchn
Happy Independence Day! (And to our visitors from outside the U.S., happy Thursday!)
All across our great country today, patriotic folks will be slipping into swimsuits, cracking open cold beers, and firing up their grills. But just in case you didn't get a menu planned in time, these splendidly simple grilled sausages with their trio of dipping sauces have you more than covered.
How to Make Italian Grissini Breadsticks

A Simple Champagne Wedding Reception in Normandy
It's been said before, but it bears repeating: The French do everything with style, almost effortlessly. At a recent wedding in Normandy, I learned how to throw a Champagne reception the proper way, in a simple and beautiful setting, with minimalist, yet sublime hors d'œuvre, the perfect complement to Champagne and happiness. I may lack the proper setting at home, but I can definitely try for the menu.
Summer Snack Recipe: Creamy, Cool Herbed Yogurt Dip
Recipes from The Kitchn
It doesn't often get swelteringly hot in Seattle. Even in the heart of the summer, we'll have a few record-setting days, but rarely more than a handful. But when I visit my mom's cabin in upstate New York, the marriage of heat and humidity can often make for pretty uncomfortable days and a loss of appetite — which is why we always have this cool, easy yogurt dip at the ready.

Ive just noticed that i cant use the data migration tool on 5.1 as it doesn't exist on the install disk, and reading the notes, i will have to install 5.0 first, migrate, and then upgrade to 5.1
Is that how everyone else has done it?
Ive just noticed that i cant use the data migration tool on 5.1 as it doesn't exist on the install disk, and reading the notes, i will have to install 5.0 first, migrate, and then upgrade to 5.1
Is that how everyone else has done it?
I've just upgraded from 4.1 to 5.0 (avoided 5.1 for the moment due to a few issues I'd been reading about,). It took a lot longer than half a day!
Here is what I did:
- Upgrade the VCenter server (this is quick - takes about half an hour).
- Upgrade each ESXi host. This wasn't quick, we have three so this involved putting each one into maintenance mode (so vmotioning off all the VM's on each host), rebooting and upgrading. Another side effect is you are supposed to disconnect the ESXi host from your SAN so you don't risk formatting any datastores. This took a loooong time due to our rubbish server racks!
- Upgrade VMFS on each of our datastores. The recommended way of doing this is to purge each datastore, and recreate it rather than just updating. Again, this took a looong time (a lot of storage VMotioning).
- Upgrade virtual tools on each VM (which requires a reboot).
- Upgrade the virtual hardware on each VM. The VM must be powered down to do this.
- Finally our VSphere Management Agent had to be recreated and linked back to our UPS.
I didn't use Update Manager (though I will for the next upgrade) but the total time spent doing all the above was several days (and a lot had to be done out of hours too due to the VM reboots).
It's simple enough, and well documented (I used this excellent guide) but don't underestimate the time required.
psydii (23rd January 2013)
I'm just testing the vcenter upgrade to new server using the data migration tool which works to 5.0 when I then try and upgrade to 5.1 I get errors that relate to ssl Certs being out of date. When I look at the Certs they expired in 2010!
I'm now trying to read up on how to resolve this issue. They don't make it easy!
Managed to upgrade successfully on a test vm to 5.1. However just found out that esxi 5.1 isn't supported on HP DL380 G5 servers! Great!
Though I suspect the edition most of us run has a two processor per host limit, in exchange for great pricing.
I seem to remember the is the CPU chips which are not supported in the DL380 G5's and to be honest G5's are probably near retirement age (there has been three generations since). You will also find that things like RAM for these servers is rather expensive.
With regards to allowing the auto-update from ESX to ESXI I have done it but then fine odd little issues and prefer to blank wipe and install again.

A popular football star falls in love with an online fantasy girl who doesn't exist in real life. Unwittingly, he entrusts his heart to what is nothing more than a figment of his imagination, and the cruel hoax by those who would take advantage of his vulnerability and naiveté with an online sport known as "catfishing;" where bottom-feeding predators fabricate online identities, in order to trick people into emotional relationships, or worse. And it's as easy as shooting fish in a barrel, because everybody loves somebody sometime. But when the love of his life that never existed dies, who could doubt his feelings of affection were real, despite the fact the object of those affections was not? However, for anyone who might consider love is less a feeling sometimes, and more a vested act of making someone or something else to be of more importance than one's self, when it comes to Valentines Day, it may be helpful to remember how it all began.

The lack of reasonable restrictions when it comes to guns is rooted in their obvious appeal; leading to their preponderance in staggering numbers in a culture that allows utter unreasonableness to pose under the guise of "protection of freedom" and individual rights. That's why we will not simply legislate our way out of this one through reasonable debate, a half-baked compromise, or a better argument. As a society, we love our guns, and what they represent.
We love the cheap, readily available and disproportionate amount of personal power guns offer in the hands of everyone and anyone who wants it, for whatever reason. But to the usual rebuttal stricter gun controls will not stop the crazed among us from obtaining their Bushmaster, their bullet-proof vests and ammunition stockpiles, it is a hollow, fallacious argument. But furthermore, I don't care. We have erred so long on the side of doing nothing, might it not be time to err instead on the side of doing something; regardless of its possible ineffectiveness?
For all of us who have heard the long-standing arguments and endless debate should know by now, one cannot change another's mind until there is first a change of heart. In this society, it appears we still love our unrestricted right to own and carry a gun more than life itself. Bluntly put, we love our guns more than we love our children.

The only thing more rare than a Three Percent post praising—or at least, gently supporting—NPR is one heaping accolades on a publisher's website. But, well, this is proof that anything is possible.
NPR, the World's Greatest Source of Middle-minded Hem-Haw Opinions, is actually doing something bad-ass this year—foregoing year-end book lists:
You love lists. We love lists. Everyone loves lists. And in the past five years, NPR has brought you more than 80 year-end book lists — the best book club books, the best cookbooks, the best gift books, the best guilty pleasures. We listed. You clicked. Everyone was happy.
But as the holidays loomed this year, we were all suffering from a little list fatigue, and we started imagining new ways to approach our year-end best books coverage. And though
Buzzfeedthe Internet may be determined to prove otherwise, we wholeheartedly believe that human beings are capable of absorbing new information in formats that are 1) not sequentially ordered and 2) wait … dammit! and 3) never mind.
Double props for the Buzzfeed insult! Because fuck Buzzfeed. And seriously, they have ruined the idea of lists for everyone.
Instead of NPR's typical year-end lists, they've come up with this discovery tool, which lists a couple hundred books that can be sub-divided into a number of categories. But unlike the normal list, books show up under more than one rubric creating a site that is "more Venn diagram-y than list-y — a site that could help you seek out the best biographies that were also love stories, or the best mysteries that were also set in the past."
Triple props for invoking Venn diagrams.
I have to admit, this momentary respect I'm feeling for NPR is making me uncomfortable. And maybe a bit mentally aroused.
Thankfully, their selections are pretty much run-of-the-mill. Sure, Ogawa's Revenge is included along with the new Daniel Alarcon, but Eggers's The Circle? And that Kite Runner dude's new book? BORING.
Well, at least we now know that you can take the list out of the Middle Mind, but not the Middle Mind out of the
list Venn diagram. Or whatever.

ITG Awareness In Our Nations Schools
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, so… my 15 year old neice informs me that there is now curriculum included in her health class that addresses the ITG phenomenom and explains how your genetics are the determining factor in your ability to have an one. Seems like they would have more important things to teach than how it's no longer PC to fat shame any longer. IMO many people grow and progress due to being shamed for unacceptable behavior. So I'm sure the previous post about this was from a fat 15 year old.
Why do they keep teaching our children lies!- nik

Accoyos of Virginia, LLC

481 Peruvian Accoyo Angelique
White, 829361, Peruvian
Daughter of Accoyo Godfather.
As proud as the South American liberator himself, Peruvian Accoyo Bolivar is one of the densest offspring of our premier Accoyo herdsire Vengador, yet without sacrificing fineness, character and luster. Bolivar is proud, upright, with solid bone and the perfect head of his sire. His sire, Vengador, won the Adult White Class in the 1995 AOBA show and has produced many show winners on the US show circuit. Vengador is renowned for his uniform fleece, at 19 microns at all three side locations. Bolivar's dam, Peruvian Accoyo Tayabamba, is one of our top producing females. Bolivar is the quality of male that can single handedly upgrade a breeding program." (Greg Mecklem, 2000)
Listed by Warren and Kim Shand of Waynesboro, VA
In the fall of 2011, Shabu delivered a male cria sired by Accoyo America Enterprise. This full Accoyo male is extremely bright with wonderful density and nicely developing crimp. Wade Gease, the well-respected AOBA judge who we hired to do a herd evaluation in December 2011, declared that he appears to display all the qualities of a show quality male. This lovely full Accoyo has great presence and is covered with ultra-fine fleece. Her sire is Maple Brook's multi-champion Accoyo Bolivar who is a Vengador son. Her dam, Accoyo Angelique, is a daughter of Accoyo Godfather, a relatively rare bloodline in this country.When we sheared on April 30, 2012, Shabu's histogram came back as follows: AFD 21.1; SD 3.7; CV 17.7; 2.0% greater than 30. As an eight-year-old, you can't get much better than that. Isn't that what this fiber industry is all about and what we should be breeding for!During a visit with a customer and his consultant, we had the consultant take a look at Shabu's fleece. She could barely contain her excitement when she took a look at the "matchstick bundles" in this little girl's fleece that go all the way down to her belly button.
