I finally figured out that these annoying, biting bugs are midges. I can't see them, but they bite and create itchy skin like crazy for days. Mosquito bites only itch for a day. These bites are really red and I have lots of them. Why do I suddenly have them?
I have a tomato planter that requires a basin of water in the bottom. They are breeding like crazy and even fly through a fine screen on my glass sliding door. I plan to dump the water, ditch the tomato plants (so not worth the annoyance of bites), and get rid of all standing water. I usually grow cactus plants, which don't require much watering, certainly not enough to attract these. Hopefully, this will solve my bug bite problem.

Maestro de Armas Ramón Martínez
Ramón Martínez is a traditional master of arms, teaching classical and historical fencing. He studied with the late Maître d'Armes Frederick Rohdes in New York City for ten years. Maître Rohdes was one of the last fencing masters to teach fencing as a martial art. During that time Maestro Martínez became assistant and protégé of Maître Rohdes and was the only one of his pupils permitted to teach with full authorization at the Rohdes Academy. In late 1982, shortly before his death, Maître Rohdes conferred the rank of Fencing Master on Maestro Martínez.
Maestro Martínez is an inheritor of a "Living Tradition" generations old and a highly respected scholar of historical fencing. He has devoted nearly four decades to the study, practice and teaching of classical and historical fencing. In addition to the instruction in historical fencing that he received during his training with Maître Rohdes, he has also done and continues to conduct extensive research in historical fencing. Maestro Martínez has spent years researching many of the detailed treatises of the schools and systems left by some of the most prominent masters of the past in his effort to accurately reconstruct some of these systems. These historical forms are then taught as authentically as possible. His goal and responsibility is to teach, promote, and preserve these rare martial arts.
He is the world's preeminent authority on the Spanish school of fencing La Verdadera Destreza. He has brought more international recognition and respect for the Spanish school than any other master and swordsman within the last one hundred and fifty years. He has specifically devoted over a quarter of a century to the research, reconstruction and resurrection of this unique school. In association with Palpable Hit Productions, Maestro Martínez has created two instructional DVDs for rapier fencing: a two volume set for the Spanish School La Verdadera Destreza: The True Art and Skill of Spanish Swordsmanship and another two volume set for the Italian School La Scherma Italiana: The Basics of Italian Rapier Fencing which have gained international attention becoming top sellers.
Maestro Martínez is the director of the Martinez Academy of Arms in New York City. He is on the Board of Directors of the Association for Historical Fencing, founded to promote, preserve and revive classical and historical fencing. He was one of the original founders of the International Masters at Arms Federation and currently fencing advisor to the Academy of European Medieval Martial Arts.
Maestro Martínez has made himself available for lectures, seminars, workshop demonstrations and presentations worldwide. He collaborated on the translation of Gran Simulacro by Capo Ferro, published in 2004 by Greenhill Press. As president of the AHF he has been instrumental in the republication of fencing works by Dover Publications and has written the forewords for Old Sword Play, Cold Steel: The Art of Fencing with the Sabre and The Sword Through the Centuries all by Alfred Hutton. These republications also include Schools and Masters of Fencing: From the Middle Ages to the Eighteenth Century by Egerton Castle.
Maestro de Armas Jeannette Acosta-Martínez
Jeannette Acosta-Martínez is a traditional master of arms, teaching classical and historical fencing. She began her training in 1982 under the tutelage of Maître d'Armes Frederick Rohdes, and after his death in 1984, continued with his protégé Maestro Ramón Martínez. In all, Maestro Acosta-Martínez has spent nearly three decades studying traditional fencing, both classical and historical. In 1995, she became an instructor at the Martínez Academy of Arms, the Academy's business manager, and the chief assistant at all Maestro Martínez's demonstrations and seminars.
In preparation for her Provost and Master certification, Maestro Acosta-Martínez devoted herself to learning the art of teaching, as well as extensively researching the fencing treatises of the classical and historical periods. In January 1999, she was instrumental in orchestrating a historical fencing exposition at St. Peter's College, New Jersey, which had international participation and featured demonstrations not seen in public for more than 100 years. In May of 2000, she received her Master's certification from the International Masters at Arms Federation and a second certification from the Martínez Academy of Arms the following November, thus becoming the only other Master certified to teach the Rohdes system of classical fencing and the Martínez system of Spanish rapier fence. Maestro Acosta-Martínez is also on the Board of Directors of the Association for Historical Fencing and was one of the original founding members of the International Masters at Arms Federation.
Maestro Acosta-Martínez has annotated and translated various works of classical and historical fencing over the years. She collaborated on the translation of Capo Ferro's Gran Simulacro, published by Greenhill Press in 2004. She annotated and created some additional illustrations for the appendix of The School of Fencing by Domenico Angelo, published by Greenhill in 2005. In association with Palpable Hit
Productions, in 2009 she created a three-volume instructional DVD on the French school of small-sword, L'École Française: A Practical and Combative Guide to the French Small-sword.
In addition to being a master of arms she is also a professional restorer of antique furniture who specializes in works of the 17th and 18th centuries. This, together with her interest in antique weapons, led her to the study of fencing.
Provost Andy Baiman
Following his introduction to modern sport fencing via an undergraduate Physical Education class at Queens College, Mr. Baiman pursued fencing in various venues, including several years at a local YWCA under the tutelage of former Pan-American Games champion Ed Ballinger, who was himself schooled by one of the last classically-trained masters of the previous age, Giorgio Santelli. Always seeking to study fencing as a true martial art rather than a sport, Mr. Baiman's quest was realized upon meeting Maestro Martínez while training at the Tai Chi school of Master C.K. Chu in New York, and he has studied with Maestro Martínez ever since, a span of over two decades.
A former New York City high school English teacher and owner/operator of an industrial hardware and mill supply business in Manhattan, Mr. Baiman now resides in Connecticut, where he divides his time between selling plumbing supplies, road cycling, sea kayaking with an emphasis on traditional ancient "qajaqs" and techniques (always the traditionalist,) and teaching classical fencing.
Mr. Baiman has assisted Maestro Martínez in several demonstrations and exhibitions including the Cloisters Renaissance Fair and a demonstration for the Brigade of the American Revolution in Huntington, Long Island. He became an instructor at the Martínez Academy in 1998, and earned the rank of Provost in January of 2001. Mr. Baiman currently teaches classical fencing in Connecticut, and participates in a local fencing club (unplugged, and with classical technique and form only) where he has seen some significant success in sharing the Martínez classical fencing wisdom with those new to fencing, as well as with experienced sport fencers. Mr. Baiman takes special interest in discovering solutions to the mystery of guiding students through that troubling transition between academic knowledge of technique and practical application in the assault, long a source of consternation for teacher and pupil alike.
Instructor Antone Blair
Antone Blair began fencing in 1995 while studying Anthropology and Classical Mediterranean Civilization at Beloit College in Wisconsin. Finding that he was more interested in fencing as a martial art, he began seeking information on the rapier and the dueling sword.
In May 2001, Mr. Blair attended a seminar on the art of Spanish rapier taught by Maestros Ramón Martínez and Jeannette Acosta-Martínez. He immediately developed a passion for the Spanish school of fencing and soon thereafter became a student of the Martinez Academy of Arms. In January of 2006, Mr. Blair earned the rank of Instructor in French foil and dueling sword, and, in June of the same year, he earned the rank of Instructor in Spanish rapier. In January of 2012 he earn the rank of Instructor in Italian foil and dueling sabre. In October of 2013 he earned the rank of Instructor in Italian rapier, Traditional rapier, French small-sword, poignard and Contre-Pointe.
Mr. Blair also studies and trains in the use of the Spanish navaja under Maestro James Loriega of the Raven Arts Institute, and trains in wing chun kung fu under Sifu Kurt Saenz. He is the fencing instructor at Humboldt State University, where he teaches French foil, and for advanced students, French dueling sword, Spanish rapier and navaja technique. He also offers fencing instruction at the
Destreza Pacifica Fencing Club in Arcata, California, where students are taught the art of defense with an emphasis on universal principles of self-defense.
Instructor Russell Hogg
Russell Hogg began his fencing career in 1993 in El Paso, Texas, training in the modern competitive sporting form until 2000 under instructors Marietta and Bill Towry, Gary Murray, and the late Maître Gerard Poujardieu, Jr. In 2003, Mr. Hogg became a student of traditional fencing at the Martínez Academy of Arms. Always intrigued by fencing's long heritage, Mr Hogg was drawn to the Academy, where the whole of that heritage is particularly honored. Mr. Hogg has served as Chef de Salle, in 2008 earned his Instructor's rank in French foil and in 2012 earned his Instructors rank in dueling sword. He has also assisted the Maestros in a number of workshops and demonstrations.
Mr. Hogg's primary interest lies in the evolution of French fencing, from its appearance as a distinct school in the mid-17th century. He thus devotes much of his attention to French foil, dueling sword, and small-sword, as well as rapier. He continues to research fencing of the baroque and classical eras, and has published articles on fencing in the 1800s and early 1900s. As a researcher and teacher of anatomy, Mr.Hogg is also very interested in human anatomy and kinesiology as they relate to fencing (especially the teaching of fencing) and the martial arts in general. He currently resides in the Naples/Ft. Myers area in Southwest Florida, where he runs the Côte du Golfe School of Fencing and is also available for private lessons.
Instructor Jared Kirby
Jared Kirby first became involved in Western Martial Arts and Combat for Stage & Screen in 1995. Beginning his studies of historical fencing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mr. Kirby moved to Scotland in order to study with Maestro Paul Macdonald. He then moved to New York in 1999 to study at the Martinez Academy. In December of 2003 he earned the rank of Instructor in Spanish and Italian rapier, 2008 in French foil, 2011 in Italian foil & dueling sabre, January 2012 in dueling sword and March 2013 in French small-sword. In October of 2013 he earned the rank of Instructor in Traditional rapier, poignard and Contre-Pointe.
Mr. Kirby has traveled extensively to assist the Maestros at seminars and workshops such as the Redwoods Rapier Camp. He also teaches at a variety of workshops such as the Paddy Crean International Art of the Sword Workshop, the International Swordfighting and Martial Arts Convention (ISMAC), and the Western Washington WMA Workshop. He has been asked to teach across the US and in countries around the world, including Canada, England, Scotland, Finland and Italy.
Currently the fencing instructor at SUNY Purchase, he also teaches a Combat for Stage and Screen class in New York City. He continues to serve as the co-coordinator of the International Swordfighting and Martial Arts Convention in Detroit, Michigan. This workshop, created in 2000, brings together the finest instructors from around the world for one of the largest annual Western Martial Arts workshops. Mr. Kirby is the editor and one of the translators of Italian Rapier Combat, the first complete, professional translation of Capo Ferro. He wrote the introduction for, and edited The School of Fencing, one of the most popular fencing treatises of the eighteenth century, authored by Domenico Angelo and annotated by Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martínez.
Instructor Sagar Krishnaraj
Sagar Krishnaraj grew up in New York City, and first became a student at the Martínez Academy of Arms in January 2000. He was drawn to fencing because of the combined esthetic of beauty of movement and lethal reality. His primary focus has been on the French School, and he is currently studying French dueling sword, among other weapons, at the Academy. Having served as the chef de salle for several years, in March of 2008, he also earned the rank of Instructor in French foil. In his efforts to contribute to fencing beyond the school, he has translated the Manuel D'Escrime of 1877 with Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martínez and is also a certified tournament judge for the Association for Historical Fencing. He works for the City of New York.
Instructor Cecil Longino
Starting his formal martial arts training under Grand Master Kyu Il Cho in the early 1980's, Cecil Longino was exposed to a strict and formal training environment that began to built his appreciation for tradition and the importance of its maintenance. In later years, while living in Germany, Cecil became intrigued by historical European weapons. His experiences in Europe led him to receive his Bachelor of Arts in Dramatic Literature (focusing on Elizabethan stagecraft) with a minor in history from the University of North Florida.
Founding the Academia della Spada in 1998, exploring earlier systems of Italian swordplay, guided Mr. Longino to seek out professional instruction in fencing when confronted with the complexity of this subject. By 2003, Mr. Longino had become a formal student of Maestro Ramón Martínez and Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martínez, training in both classical and historical weapons. It was this formal training in classical fencing that rekindled his love of traditional methods. He has earned the rank of instructor in French foil, French small-sword, Spanish rapier, Italian rapier, Traditional rapier, poignard, Contre-Pointe, Italian foil, dueling sabre and dueling sword with the Martínez Academy of Arms in New York and continues to instruct in these methods at the Salle Saint-George in Seattle, WA.
Striving to educate the public about classical and historical fencing, Mr. Longino serves as president of the Association for Historical Fencing, an organization dedicated to preserving these fencing arts. In conjunction with Academia della Spada and Salle Saint-George, he has successfully organized fencing tournaments and demonstrations, and has hosted the highly acclaimed 4W (Western Washington Western Martial Arts Workshop), the first major classical and historical fencing symposium hosted in the Pacific Northwest.
Instructor Kim Moser
Kim Moser began studying at the Martínez Academy of Arms in 1990. After visiting the Academy to view a class, Kim found himself rollerblading to the school on a regular basis. A freelance computer consultant, he was also the designer and webmaster of the Academy's Web site. Mr. Moser spent the first several years of his training acquiring a thorough comprehension of French foil, later studying French dueling sword and Italian dueling sabre. He has also studied French small-sword and Spanish rapier. Mr. Moser has performed demonstrations of classical and historical fencing at several public events and on national television.
In February of 2000, Mr. Moser earned the rank of instructor in French foil and dueling sword (épée), and, since then, has been teaching privately in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Tequesta, Florida. He currently offers fencing instruction at Palm Beach Classical Fencing.
Instructor Michael Wen-Sen Su
Michael Wen-Sen Su began studying Classical and Historical Fencing with Maestro Ramón Martínez and Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martínez in 1996. He took his first fencing class in high school, then competed for his university fencing team for several years. Always drawn to the elegant precision of fencing, Mr. Su's fencing education only truly began upon his discovery of the living legacy of Classical and Historical Fencing at the Martínez Academy.
Michael was born in Taiwan, raised in San Francisco and Pasadena, and then moved to New York City. In 2008, he earned his rank as Instructor of French foil at the Martinez Academy. His long involvement with Classical and Historical Fencing led Michael to take on a bigger role within the fencing community as Treasurer of the Association for Historical Fencing. As a member of several AHF committees, Michael has worked on the organization of numerous AHF events. Now, as AHF Treasurer, Michael draws upon his experiences of acting as university-residence treasurer for 2 years and running a real estate management business for the last 15 years.
In addition to being a fencing instructor, Michael is also Visiting Professor and Thesis Coordinator in the School of Architecture at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Although he has studied and acquired multiple degrees in Physics and Architecture, Michael finds his continuing study of fencing to be the most spiritually rewarding discipline in which he is engaged.
Instructor Keena Suh
Keena Suh began fencing at the Martínez Academy in 2002, where she has focused on studying the French School for foil, small-sword, and dueling sword. She has also trained in Italian foil and Spanish rapier. In 2008, she earned her rank as Instructor of French foil at the Martínez Academy. Ms. Suh is also a certified tournament judge for the Association for Historical Fencing, and works on several of its committees. She is a tireless promoter of historical and classical fencing. She has participated in fencing demonstrations both for the Martínez Academy of Arms and the Association for Historical Fencing.
In addition to studying and teaching at the Martínez Academy, Ms. Suh is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Interior Design department at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, and works as an architect in New York City.
Instructor Andrew Telesca
Mr. Andrew Telesca lives in Seattle, WA and has been fencing at the Salle Saint-George since 2006. Andrew originally began training in classical fencing in 2001 with the study of the Italian fencing system of the Scuola Magistrale Militare di Roma under Maestro John Sullins. From 2002–2005 Andrew ran the Whitman Classical Fencing Club under the guidance of Maestro Sullins. Also in 2003, he began training with Maestro Ramón Martínez and Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martínez. By January of 2012, he earned the rank of instructor in Northern Italian dueling sabre through the Martinez Academy of Arms in New York. In October of 2013 he earned the rank of Instructor in Italian and French foil. Andrew instructs in dueling sabre at Salle Saint-George as well as the finer points of military sabre.
Through fencing Andrew has developed a passion for the combination of discipline, vigor, precision & intellect found in martial arts. This led to a broader interest in the historical aspects of martial arts, and in particular a desire to better understand how the context of a martial art – that is, its purpose within the society in which it developed – affects its teaching and practice. This interest has been further fueled while training in other martial systems, such as Navaja and Ninjutsu. Andrew has since come to believe that the great majority of personal conflicts can be resolved more easily if the effort is made to discern the context of both parties' arguments.
Outside of the salle, Andrew is a Systems Engineer at The Boeing Company. He holds a B.A. summa cum laude in Mathematics from Whitman College, a graduate certificate in Sustainable Enterprise Management from Willamette University, a professional certificate in Decision Analysis from Stanford University and is currently pursuing a master's degree in Systems Architecting and Engineering from the University of Southern California.

Floridafam, a vast majority of my vacations are uneventful. However, sometimes I just get a bee in my bonnet (oh, boy, isnt that an old expression?!) and have to break the mold. I was so very fortunate to have broken many molds with this past vacation.
Terry S., I know its hard to believe that I could top Day One of my GF stay, but just sit tight; my family and guests experienced many unique things. But anyone can experience something unique while vacationing at Walt Disney World. I think that is the most important point that I want to get across with my thread here on the Dis that anyone can plan something unique if the mood suits them. Walt Disney World is a big place, with many things to offer. The Private Dining Event that my family enjoyed may be booked by anyone. There are also tours that may be booked in each of the theme parks (I must state that my VIP Safari doesnt fall into that category yet). Gosh, the list goes on and on regarding various events that may be planned. As to your Illuminations Dessert Party, I have read so many nice things about those parties (they may also be booked at Disney Studios for the Fantasmic show). I cant wait to hear how your parents anniversary party turns out. Im sure it will be magical (and you better take lots of photos to share with us here on the Dis!).
Helenk, I was impressed by the attention to detail that my Concierge Pre-Planning Cast Member had put into that day, too. It was a magical day that was flawless thanks to his hard work.
Kinggoofy, I sure am glad you didnt get a kiss from Bob Jackson. I would have been so jealous if you had! (I still havent washed off my cheek.) Its wonderful that Bob included your family in his shows if only I could get my hands on some of that videotape of your singing and dancing, I bet it was priceless (if my fellow Disers have any of that video footage for sale, just let me know).
JudithM and MOMTOMOOTOO, thanks for your kind words.
Nutz4dzny, it was so much fun spending time with your family. When we briefly met last year at the Liberty Tree Tavern, I had a funny feeling that we would hit it off (even though we had only met for a few moments). And when I became disabled and you began calling me, it became apparent that we shared the love of many things, most importantly our families and Walt Disney World. My familys vacation would not have been nearly as much fun had we not shared it with your family. I cant wait to begin planning next years Magical/Grand Gatherings vacation with you. I know that it, too, will be truly ~magical.~
WeFullTime, I am very flattered by your kind words, ~blush.~ I cant tell you how much my family enjoyed spending time with your family. And my parents loved the tour that you gave us of your home. That was gracious and kind of you to do that; you truly gave us a glimpse into your wonderful world, *sigh.* And I cant wait to share the manatee story. That was a glorious day (with a scrumptious lunch) that we got to experience thanks to you and Dennis. I sincerely hope my family gets to see your family during all of our future WDW vacations (my husband especially wants to go fishing with Dennis)!
MJS, that is so ironic that you mentioned Christian Frederick's music (click here). My daughter purchased his CD in the Grand Floridians gift shop one evening after we had listened to Chris play the piano in the lobby. She even had him it autograph the CD for her. My daughter is now the proud owner of two CDs that were autographed while vacationing at WDW Bob Jacksons CD and Christian Fredericks CD. Shes one lucky girl.
Wdwnut61, thanks for the anniversary wishes and the kind words. It truly was one anniversary to remember.
Erikthewise, your words really made me laugh. I seem to be the Beta Tester for many companies (too bad I dont get paid for it). But I must admit that if Disney needs a Beta Tester for anything, I will gladly sign up. I cant imagine a more wonderful place to experience things in for the first time.

Lets do the bump
After the Private Dining Event had ended, my daughter and I couldnt sleep, so we went for a midnight swim. That was my first swim as a disabled person and it felt wonderful on both of my legs, broken or otherwise.
The quiet pool (a.k.a., the old pool) is the only one open at night at the Grand Floridian, and its water was rather cool. Luckily for me, I like cool water and thus had a refreshing swim with my daughter, as my husband snored in a lounge chair next to the pool (can you say, Sleeping Beauty?).
I should probably mention how I got myself into the swimming pool. Well, I rolled my wheelchair right next to the special handicap entrance and transferred myself from my wheelchair to its top step (click here for photo). My young daughter (who was watching over my shoulder as I typed this) told me to call this staircase the bump-down since that is exactly what I did in getting myself into the pool I bumped my butt down the steps and right into the pool. I hope that wasnt too graphic for you folks (if it was, Im sure a few of you just lost your appetite).
I took several photos of someone demonstrating how to enter the swimming pool by using the bump-down entrance (these photos were taken a few days into my GF vacation at the newer swimming pool):
Photo 1 (click here)
Photo 2 (click here)
Photo 3 (click here)
I hope those photos were helpful.
I was awfully glad that I got to experience the pools bump-down entrance with no one else around. I was afraid that I would have been too embarrassed to have attempted it for the first time had lots of other folks been around. Since midnight swims are not enjoyed by the masses (thank goodness!), I got to work on my graceful pool entrance in peace and quiet without worrying about anyone staring or laughing at me (I can be such a klutz sometimes).
That evening I had also wanted to try the Grand Floridians water wheelchair, but since it is located at the newer pool, and since that pool is closed at night, that had to wait for another day. And so, at the end of my first day at the Grand Floridian Resort, I gracefully bumped myself back out of the swimming pool and into my wheelchair. My daughter and I then woke up Sleeping Beauty (also known as my snoring husband), and we headed back to our room to greet Snow Whites friend Sleepy (a.k.a., the Sandman). It's amazing how relaxing we find a midnight dip in the pool.

Grand Floridian Day Two, Part 1
It was tough waking up the next morning, especially when you factor in the three-hour time change that we werent used to yet (8 AM in Florida is only 5 AM on the West Coast arg!!). But we had to wake up somewhat early because our day was going to begin with the new My Disney Girl Princess Grand Tea Party.
This was how the Disney Gallery website described the event:

Now that youve read Disneys official statement about the tea party, Ill let my daughter describe the event for you in her own words:
At the beginning of the tea party, when you entered, you got a crown. They also threw rose petals on you. Miss Rose Petal greeted us and Lady Leaf showed us to our table.
When I saw my chair, there was a doll sitting in it. This doll had blonde hair, a pink dress, a crown, and a wand. There was a folded napkin on my plate with a silver bracelet around it. There was a card with my name on it and it said the bracelet on the napkin was mine to keep.
We got tea from the princess helpers. This tea was really apple juice and it was good and warmed me up so cheerfully. The kids got grapes, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, and fruit to eat. The grownups got little sandwiches and weird stuff. For dessert, we got to eat a special princess cake. It was yummy.
Miss Rose Petal sang and told the story of Sleeping Beauty. Lady Leaf played the piano. In the story when we had to do stuff like Ha-ha-ha for the Maleficent parts, Lady Leaf would play the piano like it was evil. At one time we had to practice singing for when Princess Aurora would come. Then after we practiced, we sang Princess Auroras favorite song and we were too busy singing that we didnt see Princess Aurora come in. We got to dance with Princess Aurora and went around in circles through the lounge. We also got to sing with her the song Once Upon a Dream.
After Princess Aurora left, Miss Rose Petal said Lady Leaf wanted suggestions for songs. I requested the most songs (Under the Sea, Once Upon a Dream, Something There That Wasnt There Before, A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes, and Tale as Old as Time). Then the party was over.
I had a good time at the party. I please want to do it again. Oh please!
Click here to view my on-line photo album of the event, or click here to view a photo slideshow of the event.
I dont have much to add to what my daughter just said, but I should mention that my husband and I had a wonderful time at the party. We thought the party was beautiful and the entertainment was wonderful. At one point during the party the girls were asked to pick up their dolls and caress them. I looked at my daughter holding her doll as if it were a real child. She smoothed the dolls hair and kissed her on her forehead. It was just the sweetest and most tender moment. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of how precious moments like this just seemed to be flying by as my daughter grew older. My husband took one look at me and said, Hey, softie, youre crying. To which I replied, No, Im not (Im a horrible liar). He laughed at me and I ignored him. Then about fifteen minutes later, I noticed that my husband was now the one with tears in his eyes. I said, Oh, look whos crying now. And then I took a photo of my husband & his teary eyes just to prove my point (its wonderful having blackmail material after youve been married as long as we have).
Yes, the new My Disney Girl Princess Grand Tea Party was wonderful and I will cherish the memories of it always (especially knowing that my blackmail material is safely locked away in my Safe Deposit Box).

Grand Floridian Day Two, Part 2
After the tea party was over, we hit the Grand Floridians newer swimming pool for a few hours. It was another beautiful Florida day and I wanted to exercise my broken leg in the warm water of the pool.
It took me awhile to get my nerve up, but after being in the pool for about an hour or so, I asked my husband to find out where the water wheelchair was located. He found out its location from one of the Life Guards and retrieved it.
I must admit that the water wheelchair didnt look anything like I imagined it would look. I actually thought it looked rather Rube Goldberg, but since I am a technological nerd, that is a good thing:
Water Wheelchair Photo 1 (click here)
Water Wheelchair Photo 2 (click here)
My husband asked me to get in the water wheelchair and take it out for a spin. He wheeled me to the pools zero-depth entry area and then down into the water until I literally floated out of the chair. He then wheeled the chair back out of the pool for me.
After I swam for a bit, I asked my husband to bring the water wheelchair back to me because I wanted to get out of the pool. He wheeled the chair down the zero-depth entry ramp. I swam over to it and seated myself in it. He then wheeled me up the ramp, and I wheeled myself over to our lounge chairs. The chair was fairly easy to maneuver and drew a lot of attention. It seemed that my family was not the only family who had never seen a water wheelchair in use before.
Before my vacation began, I didnt have much information regarding the water wheelchair. Because of that fact, I knew it was important that I personally not only took the water wheelchair out for a ride but also took some photos of it to share with everyone. If anyone has any questions regarding the water wheelchair and its use, just let me know and Ill do my best to answer them.

Grand Floridian Day Two, Part 3
Our second day at the Grand Floridian had been pretty busy so far and it wasnt over with yet. We still had the DoomBuggies.com event and Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party to get through. But after having relaxed in the pool, I knew our batteries were recharged and we were rarin to go.
The DoomBuggies.com website (click here) is a great place where fans of Disneys Haunted Mansion rides congregate. When Disney was doing research for the upcoming Haunted Mansion movie, they received some help from the DoomBuggies.com website. Disney wanted to repay the website for their help and thus a special event was planned which would have Don Hahn, one of the producers of the movie, and Jason Surrell, a Disney Imagineer and author of the new Haunted Mansion book, in attendance for a meet-and-greet. I wanted my family to attend this event because I knew that it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I was very excited about the prospect of hearing Don Hahn and Jason Surrell talk about the new movie, as well as seeing some of the movies clips. Plus, a few friends of mine had also signed up to attend the event, and it would be fun hanging out with fellow Haunted Mansion lovers.
The event was held in one of the Downtown Disney hotels and it started at 5 PM. I had tried to get my hands on Jason Surrells new book before I left for the East Coast but I couldnt find it in any of my local bookstores. Since I was attending the "999 Happy Haunts" event a few days later, I had ordered a few copies of the book from Disneys Event Services Department and I knew those books would come autographed. Because of that fact, I tried not to feel too letdown that I wouldnt get Jason to autograph my books in my presence. When I arrived at the event empty-handed, I was glad that there were at least some DoomBuggies.com posters available for autographing (it gave my daughter something to look forward to as she waited for everyone else to get their items signed).
After Jason Surrell had autographed everyones books, posters, bodies, etc., it was announced that Don Hahn was unable to attend the event. Everyone was disappointed to hear that, but then we were told that Don had sent a videotaped message. A short while later, the videotaped message was played. We soon found out that it was from both Don Hahn and Rob Minkoff, the Haunted Mansion movies director.
In the videotaped message, Don Hahn and Rob Minkoff were standing in front of a soundstage in California. They stated that they were trying to finalize the movie before the week was through. They said that if anyone would have rather seen them working in California than spending time in Florida, it would have been the DoomBuggies.com crowd. How true, how true. The audience got a big kick out of that.
While I was watching the videotaped message, I felt like I was at some kind of award show the kind of show where someone wins and cant be in attendance, so they send a videotaped message that was shot on some remote location somewhere in the world. Yep, Don and Robs message was a nice touch to the evening.
Once the message had ended, Jason Surrell pointed out a gentleman in the audience who had flown in from California with a special DVD in his possession. This DVD was filled with all sorts of clips regarding the upcoming movie. The crowd was pleased to hear that.
Jason Surrell, as I mentioned, is a Disney Imagineer. His latest project had been to put together a book on the Haunted Mansion. This book covers all four of Disneys Haunted Mansions, and it also covers the upcoming movie. Jason had even spent some time on the set while the movie was being made.
Before each video clip was played, Jason would introduce it (I should note that we saw clips regarding the sets, the costumes, the makeup, the actors, etc.). . Jason had lots of tidbits to share with the audience regarding the movie, and at one point he even gave us his best Jennifer Tilly impersonation (Jennifer is an actress who plays Madame Leota in the new movie). His insights truly added a lot to everyones enjoyment of the evening.
I am glad that my family attended the DoomBuggies.com event, especially after having viewed the movie clip that showcased the famous Haunted Mansion singing busts. What a great scene. I cant wait to see Disney's new Haunted Mansion movie (click here).

Grand Floridian Day Two, Part 4
After enjoying the My Disney Girl Princess Grand Tea Party, swimming in the Grand Floridians pool, and attending the DoomBuggies.com event, our day was finally winding down. We took a van taxi from the DoomBuggies.com event and headed over to the Magic Kingdom Theme Park in order to catch the last hour or two of the Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party. We love the Halloween party and have seen it many times, so we didnt mind arriving late. We also were going to attend the same party on Halloween night, so that lessened my daughters disappointment with arriving so late to this party.
As Ive already mentioned, it had been a busy day for us so we only went on two rides during the Its A Small World and Pirates Of The Caribbean. Since I was in my wheelchair and my leg was pretty swollen, I requested the handicap boat for the Its A Small World ride (click here for photo). I was happy to be able to wheel my wheelchair right onto the boat. And even happier when I was told to wheel it all the way up to the front seat. Wow. What a great experience for my first ride as a handicapped person.
When we were done with the Its A Small World ride, we went over to the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride (one of my favorites). This ride, however, had no handicap boat and so I had to transfer myself out of my wheelchair and into the boat. As I was seating myself in the front row, I came down hard on my broken leg and wanted to pass out to escape the pain. I silently promised myself that I would not ride another ride for the rest of the vacation. My husband must have noticed the pained look on my face because he became quite concerned about me. I told him that I was indeed in pain and since our boat had already left the loading point, there was nothing that I could do but grin and bear it. (I was secretly panicking inside, wondering how Id make it through the ride without passing out.) Luckily, a minute or two into the ride, I felt a blast of cool air upon my face and began to feel a little better. I also loosened up my removable cast and began massaging my swollen leg. When the ride had finally ended, I was managing okay with the pain but decided to stick to my guns regarding not riding any more rides.
Around 11 PM, my husband began turning into a pumpkin. Despite the complaints of our daughter who did not want to leave the party, we headed back to our resort. Cinderella may have a coach to take her home before the stroke of midnight, but we had something a little more modern the monorail. And so another magical day in Walt Disney World had come to an end.

Janet, thank you so much for sharing your very special vacation with all of us here on the DIS. Reading your report has brought back so many happy memories from our family trips. Thanks for enlightening us with so many magical things to aspire to on future visits.
I'm glad that your chef caught your food allergy before you were served the Ceasar salad. As you may recall, I share this same challenge and so much appreciate Disney's attention to detail with their recipes and presentation.

CaliforniaDreaming, on one of these vacations, our families are going to wind up staying at the Grand Floridian at the same time. And when that finally happens, we will have an absolute ball discovering all the little nuances of that resort, you can count on that.
Rascalmom, since you have food allergies too, I must admit that it was great having the chef catch the food issue. I didnt expect it, but it sure was nice knowing that someone was looking out for me.
MJS, I hope they continue the My Disney Girl Princess Grand Tea Party. It is an elaborate production, so Im sure they are contemplating how they will offer it in the future. My guess is that it will be offered during Disneys busier seasons. That would make the most sense. It will be interesting to see what they do. Hopefully, they wont keep us waiting too long. As to whether or not I will be posting a dining report, probably not (I love to eat but am so horrible with describing what ingredients are in the dishes). But I will definitely be posting information regarding my Beach Club Villas stay, so hang in there with me. I had a wonderful time at the Beach Club.
Helenk, you want more? Ill give you more. I will now post about my Grand Floridian room. See below.

My Grand Floridian Resort Rooms Handicap-Accessible Bathroom
I thought it was about time that I described my Grand Floridian Resort room to you folks. I must admit that you have been awfully patient with me. If the situation were reversed, I would have probably been begging by now for not only a room description but also some room photos.
My room was in the Main Building of the Grand Floridian Resort, and it was a deluxe concierge room. The room was beautiful, especially the bathroom. The bathroom? you ask. Shes kept us waiting for days for a room description and shes mentioning that the bathroom was beautiful? Is she feeling okay? Yes, I am, thanks to having spent a few weeks in various Walt Disney World resort rooms that had handicap-accessible bathrooms. Those bathrooms were heavenly, ~sigh.~ Especially my Grand Floridian Resort rooms bathroom.
As you know, months ago I had injured my leg, and because of that injury, had spent several months off my feet. Immediately preceding my vacation, my final cast was removed. I was then given a removable cast. When I was wearing my removable cast, I was allowed to place some weight on my leg but not my full weight. And when I was not wearing my cast, I was not allowed to place any weight on my leg. As you can understand, the cast was removed for showering, and thus I was unable to stand. Now you know why having a handicap-accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower and a bench seat was a necessity for my vacation. Thanks to Disneys Special Needs Department, handicap-accessible rooms were assigned to me for my stays at the following resorts: Port Orleans Riverside, Grand Floridian, and Beach Club Villas.
Since Im on the subject of the handicap-accessible bathroom, please let me describe it for you. As with all Disney deluxe resorts, the bathroom was comprised of a separate vanity area and a separate toilet and shower area. Click here for photo.
The vanity area had two sinks, a wall-mounted hair dryer, a wall-mounted makeup/shaving mirror, a wicker hamper, and lots of counter space. Click here for photo. I should also note that the paneling beneath the counter was cut away so that I could roll my wheelchair right up to the counter in order to comfortably wash my hands. Click here for photo.
The toilet and shower area of the bathroom contained wall-mounted handrails that allowed me to easily transfer myself from my wheelchair to either the toilet or the roll-in showers bench seat. I really needed those handrails.
Above the toilet was a shelving unit that contained bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, a box of tissues, spare rolls of toilet paper, a shower bonnet, a pad of notepaper, and a pen. There was even a wall-mounted telephone directly next to the toilet. Click here for photo.
The toilet and shower area was large enough to accommodate my wheelchair. I found plenty of room to maneuver about in between the toilet and the shower. Click here for photo.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with a roll-in shower, it is a shower that you can actually roll your wheelchair right into. I didnt roll mine inside the actual shower, only next to it, where I grabbed the wall-mounted handrails in order to transfer myself from my wheelchair to the showers bench seat. It sounds a little complicated, and it is the first few times you do it, but you eventually figure out the easiest way to transfer yourself and you stick with that formula. Click here for photo.
The height of the showerhead could easily be adjusted. The showerhead could even be removed from the wall bracket in order to become a handheld shower (it just doesnt get any better than that). Click here for photo.
I was very, very happy that I had a handicap-accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower. My vacation would not have been so nice had I not had that specially designed bathroom.

My Grand Floridian Resort Room
Now that Im done with the description of the handicap-accessible bathroom, Ill describe the rest of the deluxe resort room for you.
When I first saw the door to my room, I immediately noticed two peepholes: one at the usual height and one at a lower height for someone in a wheelchair to view through. Click here for photo.
In the rooms entryway, immediately on the left, was a large closet. This closet had mirrored doors. Sitting on the closets floor was the rooms electronic safe. I should note that this electronic safe was different than the one I had during my last Grand Floridian stay (in the Cypress Suite). This new safe was contained inside a small shelving unit; it was on the top shelf. The bottom two shelves were open, and my husband quickly placed his shoes and shoe polishing items there. The safe required the user to select a personal code when locking it (it was easy to operate):
Electronic Safe Photo # 1
Electronic Safe Photo # 2
In the rooms entryway, immediately on the right, was a wall-mounted mirrored hat stand. Click here for photo. We soon filled its little shelf with cups, toys, candy, booklets, and other trinkets. And we soon hung our hats and beach cover-ups upon its hooks. The one thing that I must admit about my family, and youll see this as you view my room photos, is that we always make ourselves at home. Always. That is a good thing.
As I entered the main area of the resort room, I saw a sofa table. Click here for photo. Of course, when I first saw the table, it was empty (but not for long, thanks to my family).
Looking beyond the sofa table, I could see that the room was nicely sized. Having a deluxe room obviously gave us more floor space than a standard room would have. I have a few photos where I tried to get this point across, but they didnt turn out too well:
Floor Space Photo # 1 (click here)
Floor Space Photo # 2 (click here)
The resort room contained two queen-size beds. The bedspreads had the cameo theme. Click here for photo.
There was a little seating area in one corner of the room. It had a table, two chairs, and a floor lamp. Click here for photo.
In the center of the room was another seating area. It had a sofa, an occasional table and lamp, a coffee table, and an armoire that contained the television. Click here for photo.
A small wet bar that contained a sink was located behind louvered doors. If you had an in-room party, it would come in handy. Click here for photo.
My daughter was happy to see the minibar. She found all sorts of goodies inside it: M&Ms, Skittles, Oreos, Wheat Thins, PEZ candy, Grand Floridian mugs, cereal, milk, V8, juices, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, water, beer, wine, and alcohol. I should note that the minibar could only be opened by the key that was issued to me upon check-in:
Minibar Exterior Photo (click here)
Minibar Contents Photo # 1 (click here)
Minibar Contents Photo # 2 (click here)
Minibar Contents Photo # 3 (click here)
The rooms balcony was pretty much the standard size. It contained two chairs and a small table. Click here for photo.
The balcony had a nice view of the gardens and the quiet pool. You could even see the Magic Kingdom Theme Parks Space Mountain ride in the distance if you looked towards Narcoossees. And if you looked towards the Polynesian, you could see Disneys Wedding Chapel:
Balcony View Photo # 1 (click here)
Balcony View Photo # 2 (click here)
Balcony View Photo # 3 (click here)
Housekeeping did a wonderful job in keeping our room clean during the day. And when we returned to our room in the evening, we loved finding that turndown service had been done:
Turndown Service Photo # 1 (click here)
Turndown Service Photo # 2 (click here)
I dont believe my family has ever had towel animals before while staying at the Grand Floridian. One day my daughter received a chickadee, and the next day she received a male and female character (I thought they looked like gnomes). They were darling. Click here for photo.
It was wonderful having a deluxe room at the Grand Floridian Resort. The extra room made it easy for me to maneuver my wheelchair around in. If I could have changed one thing about the room, however, I would have widened the doorways by a few inches. Dont get me wrong, my wheelchair fit inside the current doorways. However, extra inches would have been nice (who says that size doesnt matter ). My guess is that every person in a wheelchair has this same request they want wider doorways. Other than that, I loved the room. It was a heavenly place to recuperate in.

text: Hi. My friend's 4 year old was just diagnosed with Autism. It comes as no surprise to her because she's been saying since he was a baby that he was not right and something was wrong. I am not sure I understand what it is that she is saying is wrong with him. Honestly he seems like a very misbehaved brat. He is perfectly well behaved until someone tells him no then all heck breaks loose. She has to give him everything he wants or he will throw the loudest (and very embarrassing) tantrum. I want to support her in this but really am not sure what to do. I personally feel if she were to discipline him in a more effective way he would be fine. What is it that I am missing?

Downtown Philadelphia store finally enters construction
updated 11:15 am EDT, Tue April 6, 2010
Unusual demands could take months more to solve
Full construction is at last underway for the Walnut Street Apple Store in downtown Philadelphia, a report notes. Despite the size of the city, residents have so far had to drive as far away as Ardmore or Cherry Hill to shop at a first-party store, which can be particularly important during major product launches. The Walnut Street outlet should address that problem, but until now development has been hampered by the need to carefully remove asbestos from a building dating back to the 1900s.
The next step involves gutting the interior to make room for Apple's signature layout and decorations. Including finishing a facade, completing all construction tasks may push the store's opening to as late as November, just in time to handle an influx of Christmas shoppers. Apple frequently opens a larger number of stores towards the end of the year, precisely to take advantage of increased interest.

I purchased this sub with the sealed box combo offered here. I've read that the manufacturer used to not recommend this sub in a sealed box, but that no longer seemed to be the case. I'm leaving neutral stars as I cannot comment on ported enclosures and these subs may be great there.
Out of the box, the dust cover was not centered particularly well, but everything else looked fine.
I used this sub for about a month before switching to a JL 12W3v3-2.
The RE SRX10 D4 had no acceptable low end in the sealed box and didn't sound musical at all (it was also easy to locate the sub and the separation was often irritating). The JL was a night and day difference. I was hoping I could save some money with this brand as the reviews were all great. Again, this may be fine in a ported box, but that isn't what I wanted.
Each sub was powered at 2 ohms (300 watts) off a JL XD700/5 in the same location of the vehicle.

Spring Pest Season Is Upon Us
"Roaches burrow in mulch or bark for the winter," said Peterson. "But since the ground temperature has been getting warmer, you may start to see more and more of them as the temperatures begin to increase."
Spiders According to a recent Omnibus survey, the biggest concerns with spiders are that "they could bite, sting or attack me" (50 percent) and "they're creepy" (44 percent). However, there are only two species of spiders in the U.S. that are harmful to humans – the brown recluse and the black widow. Most other spiders are just nuisance pests and like to feed on other insects, so if you see spiders around the inside of your home, that could be a sign of a larger pest problem.
"Sanitation is really the most important factor when it comes to helping to prevent spiders," said Peterson. "Some spiders like moisture and others like dry, warm areas."
Peterson recommends the following tips to help prevent ants, roaches and spiders from being attracted to your home:
- Remove all unnecessary food and water sources.
- Seal cracks and crevices around doors and windows.
- Clean up spilled food and drinks immediately.
- Keep gutters clear, and direct water from downspouts away from your home.
- Thin vegetation and do not pile mulch or allow soil to accumulate against your home's siding. This could provide access for ants and roaches to enter your home.

text: Today is not the first time Europe has suffered a sovereign-debt crisis. Twenty years ago another crisis happened, passing without notice except amongst those affected, i.e. the Faroe Islands. The islands accumulated too much sovereign debt, eventually getting hit by a crisis much larger in magnitude than even the worst in the ongoing European crisis. Little analysis has been published on the crisis, and almost none in English. We mostly rely on Gørtz et al. (1994) and Hansen and Joensen (2008).

"Rod Stewart was once interviewed saying how he felt it was so wonderful to be married to his newest wife, that he'd "rather have his dick cut off" than cheat on her. That's a direct quote, by the way. Some time later, Rod "Spread your wings and let me come inside" Stewart is sued for divorce from his wife on the grounds of adultery."English singer-songwriter Rod Stewart is probably most famous - or infamous - for his sexually-charged songs, such as "Tonight's the Night", which discusses seduction of a virgin (including an almost explicit description of him demanding she let him get inside her); "Maggie May", about a man who is tired of shacking up with his lover; and "Young Turks", about a boy and girl who decide to run off together when their parents won't let them be together any more (probably because he got her pregnant).He might also be famous for his numerous girlfriends and wives (and sometimes both together), such as Britt Ekland, Jerri Hall, Alana Stewart, and others. He has one daughter from one of his wives.He tried to be a footballer (soccer player for you Americans) and typically tosses a soccer ball out into the audience for them to bounce around. He's also known for having very rowdy hair, and he's a model train enthusiast.Prior his solo success, Stewart fronted the Jeff Beck Group and Faces.As usual, you can find the basics at The Other Wiki.
