{RECIPE}: The Best Brownies, Like Ever.
First, lets talk brownies. You may remember a post from a few months ago where I mentioned that B word is not allowed in my house. I'm sure every food blogger has their achilles heel, that one dish they can't master or hate to attempt, and for me it's brownies (and cheesecake, but that's another story). For years I've tried to master the perfect brownies, but they've always turned out overbaked, or way underbaked, or in the case of a very bad batch of blueberry blondies, smell funky and verge on inedible. At least the pigeons outside my house always eat well; the neighbours are starting to complain.
For several weeks now I have been making and taste-testing batches of brownies. I know, my life is so hard. After eating several bad batches (yeah, I didn't think I could make it a thing either), the moment I realised I had created a batch of good brownies called for fists in the air, and some pretty embarassing dad-dancing, from me. I made them again just to be sure, and yep, not only are these good, but I can without a doubt claim them to be the best damn brownies I have tasted. Like, ever. Forget the bad brownies I've created, because sure in comparison any good brownies will taste good, but I've also eaten a lot of other good brownies that I've loved that aren't mine ... and mine are better. They're the best. There, I said it and I'm not taking it back. I'm not even going to pretend to be humble right now.
If you love your brownies gooey and fudgey and don't mind licking your fingers afterwards (because that's the right way to eat them) then these are perfect for you. If you prefer your brownies cakey (err, why?) then you should give these a go anyway because I can guarantee they'll change your mind.
You guys, hard work and effort tastes so damn good. Lucky for you though, I've done all the work and the recipe is real simple. I feel selfish keeping these to myself, like as if I've just discovered the secret to eternal happiness, or something. Except these brownies really do make me happy and I want to tell the whole world: Here, be happy, too. :)
Hard work and effort also feels really good, and I'm not just talking about these brownies (although every mouthful really does feel like a hug), I'm talking about my exam results. If you follow me on any social media then you probably know by now I'll be graduating with a First-Class Honours! Yay! I am so so proud of myself and all my friends - hey, we've worked hard and we deserve it. While I myself still have no intentions of going into medicine (sorry, Mum and Dad), it'll be pretty cool to have so many Doctor friends. As long as they don't look in my fridge; I think my diet scares them.
I realise things have slowed down a little on the blog and I hope these brownies make up for the silence and keep you going for a few weeks. I'm still in the process of re-branding the site with a comletely new name and design. I've been working 'behind the scenes' for the past few weeks to get it all ready, and I've completely underestimated how much I have left to do. I have tons of new recipes lined up to share with you all, I just need my platform up again!
So why am I re-branding? Let's go back to the brownies thing. I made bad brownies, yuck, and then I worked and worked to improve the recipe and have made, in my opinion, the most amazing (just ask my hips) brownies in the world. Score! A few months ago I wrote a post telling you I was struggling with the workload at university and gotten an F in an assignment. And then I worked and worked, drank an insane amount of coffee and became billy-no-mates for a little while, and now I'm graduating with a first. Score again! (Excuse the world cup brain). Anyway, the moral? Work hard, never give up, and try your best. And if at first you don't succeed, then try and try and try again. Yeah, all that kind of good cheesy stuff. Hey, this is a food blog, lots of cheese is never a bad thing.
Well, that's why I've decided to re-brand the blog, despite a lot of objections from my friends and family. I want to try again. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done differently with this blog, a lot of things I'm still unclear and unsure about and things I know nothing about. I need direction (a lot of it), and who says it's too late to start over? It's never too late! Yes I'm starting again. No, it's not the smartest decision. But yes I'm going to do it anyway. It feels right for me, and I hope you'll welcome the changes and love them as much as I do.
I showed my sister the new name and she hates it. But I don't care, I love it (okay, I care a little). My friends have warned me I'll be losing a lot of traffic, and starting from scratch essentially means the past 2 years on this blog will have amounted to nothing. Well, not necessarily. I think I've learned a lot about blogging over the 2 years, but if there's anything the re-brand has taught me is that I've still go a long way to go and a lot to learn. I have several other reasons for re-branding (which I'll share in a later post, soon) but one reason is because I want to be a better blogger. I want to take my blog to the 'next level', and considering I've just accepted, and will have to juggle, a new post-grad placement with a 2 hours commute each way, I know it won't be easy. (Spoiler alert: postgrads eat just as much Ramen and bleed coffee, too). It's a good thing I'm not afraid of hard work - time to roll my sleeves up and get my hands dirty in cake and coding.
The re-brand is a risk, which is why I'm taking things slow and taking the time to try to educate myself first so I can do things right. I'm super excited though! But, only time will tell whether I made the right decision. Let's make some brownies while we wait, okay?

{RECIPE}: Banana Bread
I haven't posted at all in the last two weeks (if you've missed me then I think you should come say Hi on my social networks!) and I have two reasons for that. One) The end of school means I now have an insane amount of free time to finally do all the things I haven't had the time for. In the last couple of weeks I've read, watched movies, eaten out almost everday, gone shopping, caught up with people I haven't seen in years, confirmed my post-grad choice, attended a sleepover, booked my first holiday in 10 years, and helped organise, baked for, and enjoyed my cousins engagement party yesterday. Life has been crazy busy and I've been loving every second of it, but unfortunately it didn't leave me with much time to check in on here.
I've hinted for a few months now of changes I wanted to make to the blog. Over time those ideas have morfed from just a few tweaks here and there to a complete new look and re-brand. I want to change everything and start from scratch. It will still be a food blog and I already have a new name for it, but I've been advised by a number of people to not go ahead with it - I've worked on this blog for over 2 years now and have slowly shaped it into something real that not only I enjoy, but others too. My traffic will suffer the most, but honestly? It was never about that in the first place. I'm more worried about losing the few readers who I've built strong relationships with. I won't go into any details just yet, there's still a lot left to figure out and I want to make the transition with as little disruption as possible and hope it won't be too much bother for people to make themselves at home in my new site when its finally up. I'm so excited for the changes and hope you like what I have planned!
But that bring me to reason two. Considering this site won't be up for much longer, I'm trying to invest more time in setting up the new one. So until the transition is made you may not find me here as often. I'll still be posting here for the next few months at least (I want to take things slow because a) I'm not so good at all the techy/coding stuff and am having to wiki everything and b) that crazy schedule I mentioned earlier). So if things get a bit quiet around here then feel free to visit the archives or get chatty on any of my social networks. See you there!
Anyway. Banana bread. When it comes to my food, or even just life in general I suppose, I'm really not into anything all that fancy. Banana bread is hands down my favourite cake, but I rarely get the opportunity to make it because the bananas in my house rarely last long enough. I even had to hide a couple from the rest of my family (and myself) to get the chance to make this. In terms of food essentials that always make it onto the shopping list, bananas come way before milk and eggs (but after bread and butter because as you all know I live on toast).
By now my family have learned when I pull something out of the oven it'll still be a few hours before they're allowed to enjoy it. I still have to let it cool, decorate and photograph and only then does it become theirs. So when I pulled out the banana bread, let it cool just enough to handle and then began slicing it almost immediately, it left my family a little confused. They were pleased they wouldn't have to wait, but disappointed by how 'boring' it looked. But it wasn't long till they were convinced the taste and texture more than made up for its understated appearance.
Banana Bread
THE RECIPE: Preheat oven 170C/325F/Gas mark 3. Makes a 9lb loaf.
255g soft brown sugar
2 eggs
2 ripe bananas, mashed
270g flour
1tsp bp
1 tsp bs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
130g butter, melted
1. Whisk together the sugar and eggs, and then fold in the mashed bananas.
2. In a seperate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger. Add this to the egg mixture and carefully fold the mixtures together.
3. Melt the butter and leave to cool. Onced cooled, add the butter to the mixture and carefully fold it in.
4. Pour into a greased and lined 9lb loaf tin and bake for approx. 1 hour. Once baked, allow to cool in the tin until cool enough to handle. Turn it out and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack. Can be enjoyed both warm and cold.

{RECIPE}: Apricot, Coconut and White Chocolate Chip Cookies
I awoke at 8am today, and considering I've been waking up at 5am for the past 2 months, those extra 3 hours made for a seriously good lie-in. I had my last exam yesterday (woop!) and planned to do absolutely nothing today but sleep and read a non-school related book and maybe bake a dozen cookies, or two. But, instead I found myself on my hands and knees, hair tied in a bun, and sleeves rolled up, because it's just so hard to relax when you've got stacks of scientific articles and lecture handouts EVERYWHERE, you know? I can finally see the wood of my desk and the floor of my room.
The only things saved from the bin bags were my textbooks of course. I can't use library books because some people are idiots and don't know how to look after them - they draw and colour on them, tag their names (no one cares you 'were here'), fold the corners, and leave them smelling weird. So instead I buy my all mine, and while they've served me well for the past 3 years, I have no need for them anymore. Do you know how much university textbooks cost? Like, a lot. And mine are all in perfect condition, so hey, if you're after a 5th Edition Alberts et al. Molecular Biology of the Cell, or an unopened copy of Medical Microbiology, then I'm your girl.
My room wasn't the only thing in need of a good clean - I think it's fairly safe to say I've really let myself go this past month. Too much junk food and not enough sleep or working out, and I may have forgotten to shower on occassion. I found a chocolate stain on my elbow one time. And, hey, it's not just me - I think on average more than 63% of my classmates showed up improperly dressed and/or without make up for the first time. Not that anyone cared.
I created these cookies sometime in January for friend and fellow blogger, Federica, who had sent me a dozen of her own cookies during The Gread Food Blooger Cookie Swap. I had saved myself a couple, but the majority of cookies went to Federica. I didn't have the time to bake today, but this was the recipe I was planning to use. I'm not so crazy about white chocolate, but I love dried fruit and am always snacking on them, and the chocolate together with the dried apricots and coconut was definitely a winning combo for me.
I would love to try a recipe with fresh apricots though. We have an apricot tree in our back garden which a couple of years ago grew the most incredible apricots. I can't even describe them, you have to have had tried them yourself to truly understand just how great they tasted. Some of the branches of the tree hang over the fence, and soon word got out about our magical apricot tree and there were numerous occassions where people (complete strangers even) would let themselves into our front garden and lean against the side of the back garden fence to help themselves to a few fruits. I'm pretty sure that's stealing. The net curtains mean you can't see me, but I can definitely see you. We were more than happy to share them though because there were more than we could eat ourselves, and we often invited people to stop leaning on our fence and use the front door instead. It's okay, we have nice neighbours. Sadly the tree hasn't done so well in the last couple of years, but the second it does I'll be saving a few and sending strangers home with not just a bag of apricots but maybe an apricot cake, or a tart, too.
Apricot, Coconut & White Chocolate Chip Cookies
THE RECIPE: Makes 12 large cookies/ 18 regular cookies. Preheat oven 170C/325F/Gas mark 3.
210g unsalted butter
330g light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
390g all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp bicarbonate soda
100g white chocolate, roughly chopped
100g dried apricots, roughly chopped
75g dessicated coconut
1. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and and vanilla essence and mix well.
2. In a seperate bowl, sift together the flour, salt and bicarbonate soda. Add this to the egg mixture and combine well. Fold in the apricots, white chocolate and coconut.
3. Roll the dough into balls (approx. 2 tablespoons per cookie) and place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper - be sure to space them out as they become quite large once baked!). Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
4. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.

{RECIPE}: Sweet Potato and Red Onion Salad with Baby Spinach and Peanuts
I'm going to have to keep it short today, but I wanted to quickly drop by to say Hi and also to tell you I made a salad a couple of nights ago. Obviously I was starting to feel guilty about eating ice cream for my first breakfast for an entire week. Notice how I said first breakfast. Because when you wake up at 5am (actually 6am now - I've been slacking), then you're likely to have a second breakfast at 9am. And be ready to have lunch by 10.30am, if you're me.
Also, I finally went and got myself a free-standing mixer! It's no Kitchen Aid, but it'll do the trick. But I've still got one more exam left so I'm trying really hard to resist playing with it. I haven't baked anything in weeks and I'm pretty sure the migraine I suffered earlier this week is some kind of withdrawal symptom. There's no other explanation. I can't wait for next weekend - I'm looking forward to licking clean that 5.2 litre bowl, but until then it sits on my kitchen counter, teasing me. My little handheld has served me well, but this shiny new toy is bigger and better.
I have less than a week to go until I'm at that weird in-between place of no longer being an undergrad, not really, but not quite a graduate either. Not yet. I ordered my cap and gown earlier this week and suddenly it all felt ten times more real. Well actually it began feeling real when I sat my first exam, and with my final (ever, ever, EVER!) exam looming into view it feels *more* real. Gah. I'm getting ahead of myself, I still have twenty odd lectures to work through and 3 essays to write till I'm officially done, so all the soppy emotional stuff will have to wait. Hey, stop trying to make me cry.
Anyway, that salad I mentioned. I'm pretty good when it comes to getting my five-a-day of fruit (just ask my Instagram), but not so good when it comes to my greens. I'm not a fan of spinach, and I'm kind of surprised I never included it in this list. But, if there's one vegetable I absolutely love, it's sweet potato. I think maybe the 'sweet' part confuses my brain. But I decided to chuck in a handful of baby spinach too, because like I said I'm guilty of working my way through several boxes of Nobbly Bobbly icecream lollys, and I kind of needed to make it up to my body. Throw in some red onion, a handful of peanuts and drown it an olive oil and honey dressing and you've got a beautiful salad. It's packed full of flavours and textures, and I love the colours. I enjoyed it so much I'm actually going to make it again tonight. And then maybe have a Nobbly Bobbly for dessert.
Sweet Potato and Red Onion Salad with Baby Spinach and Peanuts
THE RECIPE: Preheat oven 190C/375F/Gas mark 5. Serves 2 as a main dish/ 4 as a side salad.
2 sweet potatos
2 red onions
A handful of baby spinach
A handful of peanuts
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
Salt and pepper to season
1. Slice the potatos and onions into thin rounds, coat generously with olive oil and season. Place in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes.
2. Place a generous handful of baby spinach onto the plate. Top with the baked sweet potato and red onions. Mix together the olive oil and honey, and drizzle over the top. Sprinkle with a handful of peanuts and season with salt and pepper, as desired.

Sensational, and I'm not even a woman! I bought this with my wife in mind and we have watched it over and over, the songs, the speakers, the general positivity of the messages. You know the Church is true and we are worthwhile people and sometimes we need to be reminded just how useful we are.
Absolutley awe-inspiring
by Whitney - reviewed on December 03, 2007
SO worth the money! I got my copy as a gift, but I would SO buy it now that I've seen it. It has great clips of talks from inspiring speakers. It also has a song from Hilary Weeks and another fun one she put to the tune of 'My Favorite Things.' Michael McLean sings two songs that are awe-inspiring. His voice isn't amazing, but I have watched the scene of 'Ninety and Nine' over and over. I even bought his CD where he (not another person) sings it for me and two more copies for some friends.
Inspiring to my soul

Mohammed, Thamer Ahmed (1998) Flood Simulation Models for a River System in a Tropical Region: The Case of Linggi River, Malaysia. PhD thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Flooding of a river system in a tropical region is predicted using mathematical simulation models in this study. The proposed models were categorized as hydrologic model, hydraulic model and sedimentation model. Two methods of hydrologic models were used to simulate the peak: streamflow in a river system of a tropical region. The first hydrologic model is the river model, which is a first order linear autoregressive model, AR(1). The second hydrologic model is called the basin model which is a deterministic model based on a linear relationship between rainfall and runoff. The basin model is also described as a distributed model in which the river basin is divided into a number of subbasins whereby the rainfall and the runoff at each subbasin is simulated separately and then combined to get the river basin response. The Linggi River system in Seremban, Malaysia was used as a case study. The Linggi River system consists of a main river which is called Linggi, and it's six tributaries called the Batang Penar, Paroi, Temiang Diversion, Temiang, Anak Rasah and Kepayang. The total catchment area of the Linggi River system up to the point of interest is 127.7 km2. Recorded hydrologic data for the Linggi River basin was used in the evaluation and testing of the proposed models. Models evaluation involved calibration, verification and sensitivity analysis. Models testing was implemented using the Theil's technique. The calculated value of Theil's coefficient was 0.028, 0.17 and 0.01 for the basin model, river model and the hydraulic model respectively. A computer program was written to especially perform the calculations of the basin model. This computer program is called BSHYMD.

Enterprise School heating system saves district big money
The biomass boiler at the Enterprise School saved the district $81,900 in fuel costs last year, and this coming heating season the savings could be even greater.
According to Ken Kunkle of Enterprise School, the biomass boiler came online in December 2008 at the peak of oil prices. Over the years, many of the kinks in the system have been worked out — primarily accessing the right kind of fuel and an adequate local supply.
At the time, it was the only system of its kind in the state, Kunkle said.
Matt King of Community Solutions, Inc. said the boiler's design requires the highest grade, lowest moisture, homogenous-sized fuel with no contaminants like dirt or bark. However, no one in this region can produce that quality of chip. With extra maintenance and chemically treating the boiler, Kunkle got it running well enough that it heated the school 92 percent of last year's heating season.
When the boiler was installed, the oil-burning furnace was left intact to run as a backup in case of an interruption with the chip supply. It also runs in the late spring and early fall when heat is only needed a few hours a day.
Kunkle said the wood-fired boiler must be hand-lit and takes a while to warm up, thus the use of the oil furnace on days when the school just needs a couple hours of heat.
The school's biggest supplier has become Wallowa's Integrated Biomass Resources with Union County's MC Ranch as its primary
Rex Christenson is the foreman at the ranch.
"They have enough timber to selectively harvest and a mobile chipper," King said. "It's nice to have a backup for the school. Now both Integrated Biomass and Rex are able to provide a consistent supply of fuel. While its not the quality the boiler we would like to run, it can operate very well with some additional operator input."
Kunkle said now that the boiler is working well and the chip supply has been ironed out, he would like to see more boilers installed.
He said getting the boiler to work well is all about the fuel and credits Integrated Biomass' President David Schmidt for getting a good supply of chips for the school.
"It's 99 percent about the fuel," Kunkle said. "It needs to be compatible with the feed system."
The biomass system was fitted to tap into the existing steam heater, Kunkle said. The chips are fed into a furnace that heats water, making steam, and the pressure pushes the steam through pipes into the school.
King said the Northeastern U.S. is having similar issues with using expensive fossil fuels and having overstocked forests. "They are trying to connect the density problem with the forest and are ramping up pellet production," King said.
He said the wood-fired furnaces used in the Northeast are on a much smaller scale, but people are embracing the idea and starting to use outdoor biomass furnaces for their homes.
"Wood-fired furnaces have gotten big on the East Coast where people have storage room for six to 12 months of pellets. They operate efficiently and are generally good systems using hot water heat, in-floor radiant heat and hydronic, baseboard heaters," King said.
But there is a huge price difference between chips and pellets. Community Solutions wants to continue to develop boilers that run on chips.
King said Community Solutions will complete a study by the end of November for the Pine Eagle School District in Halfway. "It will use chips and that project will come in at a much better price with a much better BTU rate," King said.
He said the Pine Eagle system could be on line as soon as the 2014 heating season.

4 Items Found
- Ch De Villeneuve Saumur Champigny VV 2002 Product #21955 (In Stock)
Sure, most Loire Valley Cabernet Franc is built for early consumption with bistro food, but Jean-Pierre Chevallier old vines cuvee from 2002 has taken on even more complexity and charm with age. Savory aromas of roasted pepper, black olive, grilled meat and aged tobacco lead to a mellow mouthful of meaty black fruit, forest floor, and more dried tobacco. Earthy and rich in the midpalate before bright acids and juicy roasted bell pepper notes refresh at the end. Complex, layered, fascinating.
- Dom Des Baumard Logis De La Giraudiere Anjou Rouge 2010 Product #28450 (In Stock)
If there's a more fun to drink Loire Cab Franc out there, we don't know it! While there's plenty of Anjou fresh herb, cracked pepper, and juicy acidity here, the lush, ripe, red currant, raspberry and cherry fruit stars. The lush, velvety, mid-palate fruit coats your mouth before tangy cherry acidity scrubs things clean and hints of fresh raspberry blossom leaves you wanting more.
- Gauthier Bourgueil Les Vingt Lieux Dits 2011 Product #27971 (In Stock)
A very special Loire Cabernet Franc from the top parcels farmed by Pierre and Catherine Gauthier in Bourgueil, across the river from Chinon. The Gauthier's farm organically, ferment using native yeasts, and age their wines in used double-sized casks. The 2011 is lovely with beautiful aromas of purple fruit, green tobacco and a subtle earthy note. In the mouth it's snappy and crisp with tart cherry and purple berry fruit, more tobacco, and pleasing cherry pit bitterness. A great wine for fresh greens or peppers and better still with classic steak frite!
- Andrew Will Cabernet Franc Columbia Valley 2012 Product #28704 (In Stock)
As Wine Advocate has said about previous vintages, "Made by Chris Camarda from his base on Vashon Island just west of Seattle, Andrew Will Cellars delivers classic, elegant wines that show solid typicity and age-worthy profiles." This Cabernet Franc is a beauty with ripe red currant and berry fruit accented by just a touch of smoke and Cab Franc crushed herb. Medium-bodied and fresh, the fruit carries through to the long finish where grainy tannin provides support. Great wine for lamb!

Anyone else getting a bit borde of GTA now, I know I am. I've gone back to SWTOR.
Brother goes on it a lot....
I can't find a decent motive to go on. Usually on fifa 14 now.
Rust all the way still refusing to play it until it's out on PC
Have started playing MW2 again instead
I played gtav single player and online....until i completed single player, since then i seem to have barely played it...
Completed the single player GTA5 twice, then decided to go online to kill random people as it passes the time, and helps to get rid of pent up aggression when you hear the swearing coming back at you from children
I have completed GTA over the weekend, got to the end credits, played as Franklin and killed Trevor.

MVMCP itinerary. -Feedback Needed!
Hi All,
I'm hoping I can get some feedback on my MVMCP itinerary. We've never gone during Christmas and have only been to Disney twice before, so I'm still a newbie when it comes to navigating MK. Input is greatly appreciated.
6-7:30PM---------------Cinderella (Fantasyland New Fantasyland Wall)
7:30-7:55PM---------Princess Tiana/Prince Naveem (Liberty Square Glade)
8:00PM-----------------Rapunzel/Aurora/Snow White (Town Square Theater)
If time, Mickey & Minnie
9:15-10PM------------Holiday Wishes fireworks show
10:30-11PM---------Mickeys Once Upon A Christmastime Parade
11:20PM---------------Celebrate the Season show (Castle Forecourt Stage)
11:30-12:00AM----A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas
My main concerns:
-Holiday Wishes-How likely are we to find a good spot right near Town Square Theater after visiting with the princesses?
-Visiting Tiana/Naveem. I'm thinking this might be an issue, but not really seeing where else I can squeeze them in (and my daughter really wants to see them). I would forego the Tomorrowland show, but I'm not even sure if Tiana & Naveem will still be out, so scared to attempt this. :confused3
As we normally do a lot of rides and maybe a show, the late parade and fireworks. Meet & Greets can eat up a lot of time. If it is really important do the meet & greets...just know they may over lap when a show starts. :)
One suggestion that I would make is to see the Castle Lighting ceremony. I believe it starts at 6:15 p.m. There is a little show with the Fairy Godmother and Cinderella and then all the lights on the castle are lit. Your daughter might really enjoy it. Then queue up for the Cinderella meet and greet.
I don't have young children anymore so I really can't respond to the meet and greet questions but a lot of people seem to really enjoy the lighting ceremony...including me. :)
For Holiday Wishes, near TST is not a good spot. You will need to be further up Main Street towards the Hub. There are garlands strung across MS that will block your view from Town Square.
Have a great time!
(I hope this post is not perceived as rude by any other posters.)
When I went, we didn't spend much time doing M&Gs, but we did visit the princesses at about 8:00, like you're planning to. I know this party was far from sold out and based on others' reports it sounds like we had unusually low crowds, but there were only 2 families in front of us at that time. We were done in about 10 minutes. So unless you're at a sold-out party, you should be done in plenty of time to get a spot along Main St. for Celebrate the Magic/Wishes.
I also agree with PP who suggested making time to see the castle lighting ceremony at 6:15. It is a really cute show and it's neat to see the castle transform :)
Town Square princesses first huh, mesaboy? Oh boy.....back to the drawing board. :scared:
We were At the party nov 29th. In line for the dwarfs by 6 and were about 5th in line. No one else's lines were as long as I expected them to be - including Scrooge. I didn't try the princesses though so I can't comment on them. Everyone else lines weren't bad at all. Actually Merida was one of the longer ones.
Hope your plan works for you. We were there last night and one CM told us that the turnstile count was 76,000. People were lining up for the parades and fireworks over 2 hours in advance. We were able to ride a couple of rides, saw just a few characters before we had to stake out a spot for the shows. The crowds made it near impossible to do much of anything let alone follow our game plan. For what little we were able to do it was fun but don't know that we'll do it again anytime soon. They did a good job of checking wristbands but still saw a lot of people walking around without them.
Was your date sold out? Did you do the first parade/shows? We're doing the second parade, so I'm hoping that helps. But maybe not...oh boy. :sad2:
BTW, I came up with a new game plan:
6-7:30PM---------------Cinderella (Fantasyland New Fantasyland Wall)
7:45PM-----------------Celebrate the Season show (Castle Forecourt Stage)-show @ 7:45PM-I'm hoping that most folks will be more worried about the parade to worry about this first show.
8:10PM-----------------Rapunzel/Aurora/Snow White (Town Square Theater)-Same "folks are too busy at the first parade" gameplan. Was going to do this at 6PM, but read a tip that lots of non-party folks might be in this line on their way out. Just gotta figure out a gameplan for navigating through the masses to get to TST.
9:15-9:45PM------------Holiday Wishes fireworks show
9:45-10PM--------------Mickey & Minnie
10:00-11PM-------------Mickeys Once Upon A Christmastime Parade
11-12:00AM------------Whatever rides we have time for.
Again, do as you please, but I just want you to have the best info possible to base your decisions on.
As far as navigating through the masses - you can always walk through the Main St. gift shops. Though they may not appear to be connected, they are.

Chez Talout is the best place we staid during our trip in Marocco! The
auberge is located in a surrounding that is a bit desolated, but sooo
beautiful! And there are lots of places to visit using Chez Talout as a
base. We stayed at Chez Talout for 5 days and I would have loved to stay
longer! The staff is so friendly and helpfull (they treated our two
young girls as their own), it felt like being part of the family (which
made it even harder to leave...). The meals and breakfast are very good

Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Singapore's stockpiles of fuel oil fell to the lowest in six weeks, data from the Ministry of Trade and Industry showed.
Onshore inventories of residues, a category that includes fuel oil and low-sulfur waxy residue and excludes bitumen, dropped 3.6 percent to 17.1 million barrels in the week to yesterday, International Enterprise Singapore, a unit of the ministry, said in an e-mailed statement today. Supplies are at the lowest since Oct. 12.
Stockpiles of middle distillates, a category that includes gasoil and kerosene, fell 6.9 percent to 9.31 million barrels. Light distillates such as naphtha, reformate and gasoline, rose 18 percent to 11.6 million barrels.
The trade ministry unit surveys refiners, oil companies and storage terminals on a voluntary basis. The results may exclude some offshore storage capacity, International Enterprise said.

3-Any of the 3 LT if you really need one. LT always hard to find and all 3 of these ones look ready to start
4-Dion Jordan - the only true QB killer in the draft
I would only advocate one of the LTs in Fisher or Jockel and Dion Jordan as I think they are blue chip prospects.
Warmack is such a good NFL ready prospect, but you don't move up for a guard in the top 10.. Look at DeCastros free fall last year, though I would have moved up a spot or two for him last year, or a couple of picks this year for Warmack, just not top 10.
Milner is not one of my favorite CB prospects.. He lacks ball skills that would make him elite.

Also known as: Unchain my heart : the Ray Charles story
From Library Staff
Ray Charles went blind at the age of seven. Inspired by his mother who insisted he make his own way, he found his calling at the keyboard. 'Ray' follows as he overcomes drug addiction while becoming one of the country's most beloved performers.

CommentAdd a Comment
This is a 2004 biographical film directed by Taylor Hackford.
It focuses on 30 years of the life of rhythm and blues musician Ray Charles.
Jamie Foxx plays superbly as the title role.
It truly is uncanny.
He physically looks like him, especially with the glasses, but the true magic of the performance is that he acts just like him.
He walks around and performs like him, smiles like him, and just does everything like him.
Naturally, Jamie Foxx received an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance.
The film itself is good, too.
However, it fails to make a smooth transition in several parts and lulls in some parts, while not lingering long enough in others.
It's hard to pack 70 years into two and a half hours, anyway.
Two of the main dramatic focuses are Ray's infidelity on the road and his heroine addiction.
After all, it's a celebration of the life of Ray Charles that must be seen by all of his fans.
July 26, 2014.....great movie, I had no idea just how talented Ray Charles was, how long a career he had, or how he was such a womanizer! (He was such a bad boy!) Interesting that both Ray Charles and Johnny Cash lost brothers to tragic accidents, and how it haunted them in their later years. Then there is the nasty drug trap.......glad I was never an entertainer!
Standard as a bio pic. Jamie Foxx is amazing.
Jamie Foxx's performance in this film was outstanding. He captured Ray Charles' mannerisms, his manner of speaking, walking... all his little nuances. The resemblance was astonishing. (Foxx, an accomplished pianist starting at age 3, went to college on a classical piano scholarship!) Powerful rags to riches life story of the VISIONARY man, and the obstacles in his life. His blindness wasn't really presented as a physical hindrance, thanks to the inner strength he was given from his mother. Mostly, he was haunted by the scourge of drug addiction, infidelity, personal demons, and the evils of money... (If you enjoy this, you might also like: "Walk The Line", the Johnny Cash biopic). FIVE STARS.
Jamie Foxx's performance was unbelievable! An entertaining and inspiring movie. I highly recommend it.
One of the best musical biopics to come along in ages, about American R&B legend Ray Charles, whom "Rolling Stone" ranked number 10 on their 2004 list of "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" & number 2 on their 2008 list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". Much has been made of Jamie Foxx's Academy-Award-winning performance in the title role; but for my money, Sharon Warren, who plays Charles's sharecropping mother, outdoes Foxx with a performance that is positively breathtaking.
Brilliant movie, excellent music and great acting skills.
Great movie. The acting really stood out to me as spectacular, especially the role of ray charles. Go watch it.

What Editors Want In 2012….Mostly The Same That They Wanted In 2011
UK-based Andrew Lownie Literary Agency asked 20 editors on both sides of the pond what they'd be seeking in 2012.
The answers should be illuminating to authors….
A commissioning editor at UK publisher Summersdale is seeking true crime, travel, gardening and pets books, especially from "extremely talented and committed non-fiction authors who already have a following for their work and know how to promote themselves without having unrealistic expectations." Oh, hey, that's easy.
More helpful is the editor at Penguin Press who says she's "looking for authors who want to write about their passion – however unconventional – whether it's for weathervanes, bridge or graffitti." And if you're obsessed with trains and can write well, you've got an insta-sale. No, really.
And in possibly the least helpful comment from an editor, ever, one says she is looking for "ideas or stories with a strong, interesting narrative structure."
So, the same as in 2011, then. Or 2010.
But we're fairly sure nobody has asked for a book from a railfan until this year.

Alexander & Baldwin One Year After the Split
The other business, Matson Navigation, provides freight transportation services between the Pacific coast and Hawaii, Guam and China. Although I was not as interested in this part of the original company, I have maintained my position that resulted from the separation, because it is an interesting business in its own right. Matson, which owns 17 vessels, and 33,500 containers, generated more than $1.5 billion in revenue during 2012. Currently trading at 22 times trailing earnings, consensus estimates for 2014 put the forward price earnings ratio at 16. Matson also pays a dividend, which it recently increased by a penny to 16 cents, which equates to a 2.4% yield.
While Matson certainly has not delivered the returns that Alexander & Baldwin has over the past year, from an earnings perspective it has surprised to the upside the past two quarters.
The original, pre-separated Alexander & Baldwin is the type of situation that excites value investors; finding two solid, but very different businesses together under one roof. The hope is that separating them will create savings and unlock value. One year removed from the Alexander & Baldwin transaction, I'd say so far, so good.
