The family of John Donovan and the Essex County Trail Association have created the new 1.5 mile Donovan / Sagamore Hill Trail and preservation of 38 wooded acres with additional trails that are open to hikers and equestrians. The trail starts at the Donovan Ball Fields on Sagamore Street in Hamilton and winds through sections of Ipswich, Essex, and Hamilton. Professor Donovan and his son worked with the town of Hamilton to make these resources available to this community. The Essex County Trail Association will make significant improvements to the Donovan / Sagamore Hill trail and preserved land, including signage, fencing, repairs and trail work. As of early 2012 the trail from Donovan Field is open, but the Donovan Hill section of the trail is under construction.
There is a small circle at the end of the Donovan Hill section of the trail, before reversing course and continuing back the way you came. Just before reaching the field, a short loop that takes you to the Sagamore Hill USAF Geophysics Lab Radio and Solar Observatory. Turn right on the paved road for a few feet and you will come to the hallowed burying place of Masconomet, the Sagamore (chief) of the Agawam Indians. A narrow trail from the granite stone marker returns you to the Donovan Trail and back to the start location at Donovan Fields.
The trail from Donovan Field is open to the public, but the gate to the field parking lot is locked. Parking and access to the trail are available sunrise to sunset from the Sagamore Hill Solar Radio Observatory, accessed nearby from Sagamore Rd.

What the Animals Taught Me brings together stories about rescued farm animals at a shelter in Sonoma County, Calif., and shows what these animals can teach us. Each story illustrates how animals can help us reconnect with the natural world … and see and embrace others as they truly are. Wishing to escape the urban rat race, freelance writer and editor Stephanie Marohn moved to rural northern California in 1993. Life was sweet. She was a busy freelancer. In return for reduced rent, she fed and cared for two horses and a donkey. Her life was full. And then, more farm animals started to appear: a miniature white horse, a donkey, sheep and chickens, followed by deer and other wildlife. Each one needed sanctuary, either from abuse, physical injury or neglect. Marohn took each animal in and gradually turned her 10-acre spread into an animal sanctuary. Each chapter of What the Animals Taught Me focuses on a particular animal that became part of Marohn's life. She shares what she learned from the sheep she rescued from an animal collector, the abused donkey she helped nurse back to health, and many others. Her book reminds us that animals have much to teach us about love, compassion, trust, and so many of the other qualities we so often try to cultivate in ourselves.

According to Wikipedia, globalisation can be described as "a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and functioning together. This process is a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural and political forces".
In terms of economics, the effects of globalisation can be measured in four different ways:
Under globalisation, financial institutions look to increase their profits using these four economic indicators.
Most governments have now deregulated their financial markets and privatised public services and public utilities such as gas, water and electricity, resulting in ultra free markets open to competition and relying on speculative markets rather than the real economy.
It is mainly people in poor countries who grow and make things whilst people in rich countries buy them - so some would argue that they are working to lift themselves out of poverty and that we are doing them a service by consuming their goods.
Rich countries dominate the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which agrees the way countries trade – so they set the rules in which poorer countries have to adhere to.
Rich nations can place high taxes on imported goods – this limits poor countries ability to share in the world's market.
According to the organisation No Sweat which campaigns in the UK against sweatshops worldwide:
If you would like more information about the effects of globalisation and campaigns you can get involved in check out the No Sweat website or the Trade Justive Movement which is a broad coalition of organisations, including PCS, which together campaign for trade justice - not free trade – which benefits poor people and the environment)
Labour behind the label supports garment workers' efforts worldwide to improve their working conditions.

Research Fellow, Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions
University of St Thomas School of Law
Skeptical about the idea that adults can change ethically, and not superficially so? A healthy dose of skepticism is, afterall, the basis of how science advances, and how hypotheses about legal cases or cures for diseases are formed. Professor Neil Hamilton and I recently co-authored an article called "Addressing the Skeptics on Fostering Ethical Professional Formation (Professionalism)" published in Professional Lawyer. In our article, we address a longstanding opinion in the legal academy and business community that one's morality is pretty well fixed by the time of law school, particularly with respect to moral development. Skeptics contend that law students are simply not going to fundamentally change the way they think about morality, claiming this is the domain of one's upbringing, and the stuff of Eagle Scouts or Sunday School. We provide evidence in our article that these views are 30 years out of date.
Let's analyze this for a moment using a metaphor from medicine, with legal education the patient. The guardians (the Carnegie Foundation, the ABA Outcomes Committee Report, and law schools) of the patient (law students) want to strengthen the ethical core of each law student, supposedly to deter future unethical behaviors. So what should the physicians (law professors) administer? The saying "what gets measured gets done" predominates society. From that belief, many put forth suggestions for using different assessment tools of moral development and personality, as a way of gauging the moral temperature of the "patient." Some come with impressive indicators of reliability and validity — others, with thick manuals for coding interview or essay data. Many of them meet the standards for psychological and educational assessment and testing – but others are questionable. Perhaps this is the point at which skepticism takes hold.
In our view, being skeptical of "quick fixes," like the personality test du jour, is wise. Like a doctor who writes a quick prescription without checking for interactions or fully listening to the patient, legal education could similarly set out to "add on" another assessment, a different test, or another course, simply with the intent to "do something" about the Carnegie Foundation's suggestions and ABA's proposed directives to attend to ethical professional formation. The math is more complex to morality.
Law students are very smart people, many of whom are veterans of personality tests and assessments. So instead of approaching moral development like scientists with lab coats and law students as patients, we suggest that what is needed is a more holistic approach. The math, once again, goes far beyond accounting for single factors that contribute to morality. In fact, moral psychologist James Rest (see, Center for the Study of Ethical Development) points out that the "math" to morality involves four components of awareness or perception, cognition, emotion, and interpersonal skills – all in a dynamic process in which single factors of morality interact with others (Rest, 1986).
In our article, Neil Hamilton and I provide evidence from lifespan developmental psychologists that people can and do change throughout adulthood, citing theory and research of Robert Kegan and other lifespan developmental psychologists.[1] They see adult development the way the child developmental experts see infant and child cognitive development – there are predictable stages in development very familiar to parents. The primary methods that Kegan and others see as important in fostering development are not short tests of personality, team skills, or communication ability – instead they recommend methods that recognize the uniqueness of each individual student in complex ways that are based on meaningful interpersonal interaction, not simply on adding on another assessment or another course. Some recommendations from educational and lifespan developmental psychologists include:
(1) Challenging students' individually to examine how they are interpreting their experience – through dialog, mentoring, and coaching, and asking the right questions, rather than imposing the right answers.
(2) Involving students in self assessment of complex skills. The validity and reliability of many off-the-shelf tests of complex psychosocial skills should always be questioned. But more importantly, what the Carnegie Foundation and other lifespan developmental psychologists recommend is asking each individual student to engage in introspection – deeply reflecting on the meaning of becoming a lawyer, and developing the capacity to step back and gain perspective in how one is interpreting life events.
(3) Integrating reflective assignments throughout the curriculum that will create lifelong habits of reflection on what it means to be a lawyer.
(4) Utilize cooperative learning, but give students tools to support team function, monitor team processes, coach students who need to improve their skills in being a team member, and insist upon individual accountability.
(5) Foster a sense of psychological safety in school culture by coaching students how to effectively give feedback to each other. Encourage students to expand perspective taking and moral sensitivity to diversity by using random assignment in learning groups, and encouraging learning about different cultural or world views.
(6) Integrate classroom activities that build skills in managing conflicts, mediation, and negotiation designed to break down zero-sum game thinking and enhance creativity in problem solving.
As you can see, these six recommendations focus on a complex "math" of meaningful interpersonal interaction and nurturing mindfulness. This is the paradigm shift that we are speaking of, and it's not unique to legal education. We invite you to read the full article at the following SSRN:

The Best Blu-ray & DVD Releases of the Week Include 'The Act of Killing,' 'Top of the Lake,' and 'Key of Life'
Features By Rob Hunter on January 7, 2014 | Comments (3)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. The Act of Killing Indonesia, like many countries, has a dark and bloody past filled with brutal death squads and mass killings. The difference is that unlike those others the people of Indonesia continue to celebrate the murderers, and many of those killers still walk the streets as heroes of a cruel and sadistic history. This documentary puts us in the killers' midst as they tell their story using the medium they love so much, film. Joshua Oppenheimer's film is an absolute marvel both in what it sets out to do and in what it accomplishes. The "characters" here are madmen in charge of their own fates and world, and the view they have of their shared history is more disturbing than any horror film. The only thing more terrifying than hearing them talk about what they've done and how they feel about it now is watching their efforts to recreate it all in front of the camera. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Theatrical and director's cuts, interview, commentary with Oppenheimer and Werner Herzog, featurette, deleted scenes, trailers, booklet]

'We Are What We Are' Trailer: A Family's Gotta Eat, You Know
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 28, 2013 | Comments (1)When one of 2010's most gruesome horror films was getting rebooted, people were intrigued. How could Jorge Michel Grau's We Are What We Are, an ambitious film about a family of cannibals living in Mexico City, translate to American screens? Well, you're about to get your answer. Enter Jim Mickle's We Are What We Are, this time following the totally normal, nothing to see here, Parker family in the Catskills. After the death of their mother comes swiftly in the night during a spooky rainstorm from something called "Kuru Disease" (google it, I believe it rhymes with Hannibalism), Rose (Julia Garner) and Iris (Ambyr Childers) are tasked to carry on the family tradition by their father (Bill Sage).
'We Are What We Are' Getting an American Remake from Jim Mickle and Nick Damici
In Development By Kate Erbland on February 9, 2012 | Comments (1)One of 2010's most wicked independent horror films is getting an American remake, thanks to a pair of up-and-coming filmmakers. Director Jim Mickle and his screenwriter partner Nick Damici are now set to remake Jorge Michel Grau's We Are What We Are, the best little Mexican horror flick about a family of cannibals you've likely never seen. As our pal Peter S. Hall points out, with Mickle signed on for the remake, that means that a film from 2010's Fantastic Fest is getting remade by a director who also had a film at that same FF. Synergy! Mickle and Damici's Stake Land played at FF, as well as at Toronto as part of their Midnight Madness sidebar (where it won the People's Choice Award). The film followed a set of survivors attempting to scrape by in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by vampires. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the film, Mickle and Damici infused their characters with believable and likable qualities, and then set them against an appropriately gritty and terrifying background. And Grau seems to agree, saying "I feel fortunate to have someone with the vision and talent Jim has to re-interpret my work. It is extraordinary to have a team of filmmakers so respectful of the spirit of a film and take such good care of its essence. I'm so proud to know We Are What We Are will be reworked under that kind of intelligent frame of mind. Very happy that Jim will construct a new […]
31 Days of Horror: We Are What We Are
31 Days of Horror By Kate Erbland on October 4, 2011 | Comments (1)We continue our journey through a month of frightening, bloody and violent films. For more, check out our 31 Days of Horror homepage. Synopsis: After the death of their patriarch, a Mexican family attempts to continue the way of life that he provided for them. Oh, did I mention that their "way of life" is that they're cannibals?
Sweet Jesus there are a lot of new releases this week. If there's one common theme among them it's that (with only a couple wide release exceptions) all of this week's titles are smaller films, older films, or foreign films. I'm as much a fan of blockbusters as the next guy, but there's something to be said for the small joy of discovering a movie that never had a chance at your local multiplex. Unfortunately, there's a second theme in this week's releases… specifically in the Avoid section. I love horror films, but most of the ones releasing on DVD today are simply not worth your time. Skip the three in the Avoid section below and instead check out some of the many titles worth Renting or Buying including Live Like A Cop Die Like A Man, Bodyguards and Assassins, Source Code, We Are What We Are, and more. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Trust A young high school student forms an online relationship with someone she believes to be a fellow teenager but who turns out to be a thirty five year old pervert.

The Week That Was: No One Cares How Old We Are; More Batman Rumors!
Movie News By Neil Miller on February 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt's been a very big, hyper-serious week here at Film School Rejects. Well, everything but the hyper-serious part anyway. We celebrated a big birthday by finally getting potty trained, we pulled the wheels of a big time movie director's campaign against critics, we rapped to you, we reviewed a bunch of movies that weren't so great, we reported on epic, Asgardian trailers and movies about Egyptian democracy and we interviewed people, shared opinions about movie universes and took you to Funky Town. Okay, all but the part about Funky Town. But you know it's coming. Bask with me in the glory of this week's best articles as we recount The Week That Was.
Writer-director Jorge Michel Grau faces a steep challenge with We Are What We Are. As the maker of an existential drama centered on a morose family of Mexican cannibals, Grau must find some way to connect his audience to the material, to unearth the humanity behind a gruesome, depressing subject. Let the Right One In and Let Me In, its American remake, established a template for this sort of enterprise, mixing the pangs of young love and the aching loneliness of the vampire's everyday existence with the characteristic gore of a genre flick. Yet, cannibals are less sympathetic than vampires, the pop culture ghouls-of-the-moment, whose survival depends on human blood. There's something far less romantic about humans who devour other humans just because they've developed a taste for them instead of, oh, McDonald's. Filmmakers have traditionally understood this: Aside from one Hannibal Lecter, it'd be hard to finger a movie cannibal of note.
Liam Neeson throwing elbows, Martin Lawrence throwing his weight, and Alex Pettyfer throwing just about everything in the room with his mind are what's on the docket this weekend. It's an eclectic mix of comedy, sci-fi, and mystery/thriller that should prove successful for the overall numbers, but what will come out on top? Let's see how each of these films breaks down going into the box office.
Fantastic Review: We Are What We Are
Fantastic Fest By Adam Charles on October 27, 2010 | Comments (3)An elder man stumbles through a shopping area, stares painfully into a window, stumbles some more, falls, and then dies alone on a sidewalk. While alive he wasn't alone. He was the head of a family that included a wife and three children (two young men and one young daughter) who depended heavily on his being alive. He was the household's primary breadwinner as a wristwatch repairman, their main voice of direction, and the collector of their next meal.
In most cases, being a family's primary source of income coincides with being the one who provides the food, assuming the family doesn't cultivate their own. This family does neither. They don't pay for it, at least in terms of monetary expenses, nor do they grow their own – at least not in the sense that they don't inbreed and wait nine months for a feast. Although, aside from blood relation the latter half of the previous sentence isn't far from their situation. This is a family of cannibals and without the father's experience at capturing prey and going undetected their food supply is running dry and the sons become responsible for replenishing without getting caught.
Grab a Beer and Chug, It's The Fantastic Fest 2010 Awards!
Fantastic Fest By Neil Miller on September 27, 2010 | Comments (2)This evening, in a ceremony held at the world famous Alamo Drafthouse theater in Austin, TX and emceed by Drafthouse founder and CEO Tim League (a very pink-haired Tim League, to be exact), the winners of the Fantastic Fest 2010 jury and audience awards were announced. According to the official press release, the juries were "comprised of some of the most esteemed filmmakers, critics, festival directors and show biz people in the industry. Their thoughtful deliberations provided the following acknowledgments of cinematic excellence in all things Fantastic." One of these juries included yours truly, so esteemed might be a stretch. At least for me. Everyone else was quite esteemed. Alas, check out the award winners after the jump.
Fantastic Fest 2010 Gets Even More Fantastic With Second Wave of Films
Fantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on August 28, 2010 | Comments (3)And the hits keep right on coming… and by "hits" I mean awesome movie announcements from Fantastic Fest 2010's already incredible film schedule. The first wave of titles was announced last month and included several highly anticipated films like Let Me In, Ip Man 2, Golden Slumber, Outrage, Red Hill, and more. Earlier today the second round of titles was released, and as expected the list of upcoming movies represents probably the greatest gift to mankind since pizza. Fantastic Fest 2010 runs from September 23rd through September 30th. The official press announcement is below…

Best fan banner Denver 2000 - "Stick a Bourque in 'em!"
The author of the original "Stick a Bourque in 'em!" banner remains unidentified, but the sentiment rang every fan's bell at the Pepsi Center as the Colorado Avalanche put the finishing touches on a badly outclassed Phoenix Coyotes team in the first round of the NHL playoffs. The Bourque the Avs stuck in the Coyotes (because they were cooked) was, of course, veteran defenseman Raymond Bourque, newly acquired from Boston and Colorado's most vivid inspiration. The ticket-buyers weren't alone: Every sportswriter in town envied such peerless wit.

The Chicago Teachers Union House of Delegates voted overwhelmingly Sept. 18 to suspend the union's strike following an extensive discussion of the proposed tentative agreement. In the coming weeks, the full CTU membership will vote on the tentative agreement negotiated between the CTU and Chicago Public Schools. The union went out on strike Sept. 10. (See earlier story.) "This agreement guarantees that Chicago teachers, paraprofessionals and clinicians will return to the classroom knowing that their schools and community are strengthened because their voices and experience have been respected," AFT president Randi Weingarten says. "And parents can send their kids to school knowing that their teachers fought for the resources children need to succeed, including having textbooks on time and investments in art, music, physical education and other subjects that expand and enrich children's minds."

A judge in Dane County, Wis., has struck down the main portions of Gov. Scott Walker's union-busting law, which stripped Wisconsin public employees of their right to collectively bargain. Judge Juan Colas ruled that the law violated both the state constitution and the U.S. Constitution by stripping employees' rights to free speech, association and equal protection. "As we have said from day one, Scott Walker's attempt to silence the union men and women of Wisconsin's public sector was an immoral, unjust and illegal power grab," notes Phil Neuenfeldt, president of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. The judge's decision covers municipal and county workers.

Phoenix, AZ—at the very last minutes of a deadline, Attorney
General Tom Horne filed a Petition for Rehearing arguments on their recent
decision to reverse the convictions and death sentence of Debra Milke. Apparently Mr. Horne wants to see this woman put to death.
Members of the news media were told that this was going to
assigned to the Solicitor General because there was a conflict of
interest. Instead the Attorney General
filed it. I'm not sure of any legal
implications here.
This request asked that the appellate panel reconsider its
ruling or alternatively have the matter considered by the entire 9th
Circuit Court en Banc.
It's unlikely that the Attorney general will prevail and I
suspect his standing to even file this will be challenged because of the
conflict of interest mentioned earlier.
Stay tuned for further developments

MIDDLEBURY — Teens and tweens would like a little more room at Middlebury's Ilsley Public Library.
That's the recommendation from youngsters age 11 and up who were invited to the Main Street library this past Tuesday to discuss how the library currently serves their needs and how it could do a better job.

MIDDLEBURY — While the prospect of building new municipal offices and a new recreation center is grabbing most of the headlines in Middlebury these days, the town is also taking stock in two other substantial capital projects: major repairs to a portion of the Ilsley Public Library roof, and the need to install a liner in the town swimming pool.
MONKTON — In voting on Town Meeting Day, Monkton voters shot down a proposal for a new municipal building for the second time in two years, this time by a 286-224 tally. The new plan called for moving and expanding the town's existing 152-year-old town hall.
MONKTON — Officials in Monkton say they've exceeded the capacity of their 1,200-square-foot town hall. According to the 2010 census, Monkton is one of Addison County's fastest growing towns, expanding at a rate of 12.6 percent in the last decade to a total of 1,980 residents.
VERGENNES — The Bixby Memorial Library board of trustees has chosen longtime Addison Independent advertising manager and Addison resident Jane Spencer to fill its newly created position of library director.
After 31 years at the Independent, 28 leading its advertising department, Spencer will officially assume her new job on Aug. 29, said Bixby board of trustees president Thelma "Kitty" Oxholm.
HINESBURG — The town of Shoreham has netted a $50,000 Vermont Community Development grant that will round out funding for an ongoing expansion project on the town's Platt Memorial Library.
STARKSBORO — Robinson Elementary School librarian Ann Watson will retire earlier than she expected this year due to budget cuts. After 30 years working as a librarian in Addison County schools — first at Mary Hogan Elementary School in Middlebury for four and a half years and then at Robinson for 26 years — she will leave because her position will be reduced next year from three days a week to two half-days a week.
SHOREHAM — Town meeting in Shoreham brought some kind tidings to boosters of the Platt Memorial Library.
In a rather spontaneous showing of generosity, townspeople at their annual gathering agreed to transfer $90,000 in Newton Academy fire insurance money to an expansion/renovation plan for the library that has set on the Shoreham green for more than 100 years.
That action, supported by voice vote, could allow for construction on the 1,600-square-foot addition to begin as soon as this fall, according to library trustees.

The 4-page Guidelines was signed by BGen Cesar Dionisio Sedillo Jr AFP, Chairman of the GPH CCCH, Said Shiek Al Haj, Chairman of the MILF CCCH and who is also a member of the Transition Commission that would draft the Bangsamoro Basic Law, and MGen Dato' Fadzil Bin Mokhtar, Head of Mission of the Malaysia-led International Monitoring Team (IMT).
Mohagher Iqbal, Chairman of the MILF Peace Negotiating Panel and Transition Commission, and Prof Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, Chairwoman of the GPH Peace Negotiating Panel, attended the signing ceremony and expressed their full support to the mutual understanding for the May Elections. Also present were Atty. Abdul Dataya, Chairman of the MILF AHJAG, BGen Roland Amarille, Chairman of the GPH AHJAG.
The Guidelines were principally based on the policies of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III and Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim of the MILF Central Committee on the primacy of the GPH – MILF Peace Process, instructions from respective principals of the GPH – CCCH and MILF CCCH anchored on the goodwill and confidence building of the GPH – MILF Peace Process with the participation of the Malaysia-led International Monitoring Team (IMT), especially for the GPH – MILF Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB), and the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Resolution No. 9561 –A, "The ban on bearing, carrying or transporting of firearms or other deadly weapons; and employment, availment or engagement of the services security personnel or bodyguards during the election period for the May 13 2013 automated synchronized National, Local elections and ARMM Regional Elections.
However, the Guidelines pointed out that the "undertaking is purely a GPH – MILF ceasefire and peace process- related function and only incidental but not as a Philippine elections-related function. This is not to be interpreted as MILF's inconsistency to its standing policy not to take part or meddle in whatever capacity on the government electoral processes."
"Its purpose is to safeguard the GPH – MILF Agreement on the General Cessation of Hostilities (AGCH) / Ceasefire Accord, the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) and the GPH – MILF Peace Process, in general, from adverse effects and repercussions while the government ensures the conduct of honest, orderly and peaceful elections on May 13, 2013."
This endeavor shall be implemented during the critical period of the election from April 2013 to 20 May 2013, as agreed upon by the GPH CCCH and MILF CCCH with the concurrence of the IMT M8.
The GPH CCCH and MILF CCCH shall ensure and warrant, and the IMT shall coordinate and monitor the unhindered movements and deployment of election personnel, equipment / paraphernalia, documents, voters, AFP / PNP election security personnel, as deputized by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), to and from all the Polling Centers situated within the MILF dominated areas.
Local ceasefire mechanisms such as the Joint Ceasefire Monitoring Post (JCMPs) in Midsayap, Cotabato; Datu Saudie Ampatuan, Maguindanao; Pikit, Cotabato; Butig, Lanao del Sur; Maasim, Sarangani; Poona Piagapo, Lanao del Norte; and Tipo-Tipo Basilan Province composed of personnel from the GPH CCCH, the MILF CCCH and the Bantay Ceasefire of the Mindanao People's Caucus (MPC) with the IMT's assistance and the Local Monitoring Teams in Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, North Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani Province, and South Cotabato shall be designated as the monitoring and quick response team (QRT) of the JCCCH and IMT for this endeavor. Additional JCMPs could be set up in other areas, when necessary.
The Guidelines states "the main routes, water and land usually used by the MILF troops during movements and activities shall be left opened, the MILF shall refrain from consolidating its forces for any purpose/s including peace gatherings from the time the PCOS Machines are deployed until the Election has been completed except at Camp Darapanan in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao, Camp Bushra in Lanao del Sur, and in the urban centers, when necessary, and in coordination with the GPH CCCH, the MILF armed elements should not go near polling centers and precincts, avoid display of firearms and uniforms along routes leading to the areas where electoral activities are ongoing."
"Upon completion of all election functions within the MILF dominated areas, the deputized AFP/PNP election security personnel deployed thereat shall pull out immediately," it stated.
Prof Miriam Ferrer, in her message of support, commended the initiative of the GPH – MILF CCCH and the Malaysia-led IMT, stressing the undertaking shall promote the integrity of the peace process and the heightened cooperation and collaboration between the government and MILF and the many peace partners and stakeholders.
For his part, Chairman Iqbal, without endorsing any candidate had appeal to the electorate to vote for those who really support the peace process and the GPH – MILF Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro which was signed at Malacanang Palace last October 12, 2012.
"The MILF leadership will transmit to the commanders, leaders and troops on the ground the Guidelines for Mutual Understanding for adherence through Brother Sammy Al Mansur, Chief of Staff of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF)," Iqbal said.
The Coordinating Committees on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCHs) of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) signed yesterday in Davao City a Guidelines for Mutual Understanding for ceasefire-related functions during the May 13, 2013 National and Local Elections.

Oak Creek Canyon fire at 90 percent containment
SEDONA, Ariz. -- The fire that has been burning around northern Arizona's Oak Creek Canyon for more than a week is now almost fully contained.
Fire officials said Saturday morning that the Slide Fire is 90 percent contained but some interior areas in the fire may continue to smolder.
Approximately 200 firefighters and other personnel remain at the site.
Crews will spend the day patrolling the fire perimeter and clearing any debris.
The 33.1-square-mile Slide Fire began May 20 near Slide Rock State Park in the scenic canyon between Sedona and Flagstaff and has burned over 21,000 acres.
It's believed to be human caused and remains under investigation.
An evacuation order for canyon residents and business orders was lifted Thursday.
Meanwhile, Highway 89A in the fire area will remain closed.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
11 The crowd was listening to everything Jesus said. And because he was nearing Jerusalem, he told a story to correct the impression that the Kingdom of God would begin right away. | 11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. |
12 He said, "A nobleman was called away to a distant empire to be crowned king and then return. | 12 He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. |
13 Before he left, he called together ten servants and gave them ten pounds of silver to invest for him while he was gone. | 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' |
14 But his people hated him and sent a delegation after him to say they did not want him to be their king." | 14 "But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.' |
15 "When he returned, the king called in the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to find out what they had done with the money and what their profits were. | 15 "He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it. |
16 The first servant reported a tremendous gain -- ten times as much as the original amount! | 16 "The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.' |
17 'Well done!' the king exclaimed. 'You are a trustworthy servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.'" | 17 " 'Well done, my good servant!' his master replied. 'Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.' |
18 "The next servant also reported a good gain -- five times the original amount. | 18 "The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.' |
19 'Well done!' the king said. 'You can be governor over five cities.'" | 19 "His master answered, 'You take charge of five cities.' |
20 "But the third servant brought back only the original amount of money and said, 'I hid it and kept it safe. | 20 "Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. |
21 I was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with, taking what isn't yours and harvesting crops you didn't plant.'" | 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.' |
22 "'You wicked servant!' the king roared. 'Hard, am I? If you knew so much about me and how tough I am, | 22 "His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? |
23 why didn't you deposit the money in the bank so I could at least get some interest on it?' | 23 Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?' |
24 Then turning to the others standing nearby, the king ordered, 'Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one who earned the most.'" | 24 "Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.' |
25 "'But, master,' they said, 'that servant has enough already!'" | 25 " 'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!' |
26 "'Yes,' the king replied, 'but to those who use well what they are given, even more will be given. But from those who are unfaithful, even what little they have will be taken away. | 26 "He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. |
27 And now about these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king -- bring them in and execute them right here in my presence.'" | 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.' " |

I've been adamant in my analysis that smaller screen tablets, like ones that are 7-inches, represent more of a pure media tablet then a general purpose tablet that can also be used for productivity.
I still believe this is the case and more importantly Amazon with these products is looking to serve first and foremost Amazon customers. But with new 8.9-inch HD models Amazon stands to reach a whole new set of customers.
There are three key features that stand out to me about the new Kindle Fires.
Now showing, HD screens
Both Kindle Fire's the new 7-inch Kindle Fire HD and the HD 8.9 are very good tablets in terms of hardware and software. The screens are both HD quality, optically bonded, and high resolution.
Visually they among the best.
Obviously screen quality matters when it comes to media but it also matters when it comes to apps and if these tablets from Amazon have any shot of crossing the chasm from pure media to some level of productivity, the screen will play a role.
Technologically both new Kindle Fires are equipped with Corning's Gorilla Glass. Corning's Gorilla Glass has a reputation of being strong and sturdy and able to take some wear and tear. I wouldn't call these tablets rugged but from what I know about Gorilla Glass it will definitely help mobile professionals toting these screens all over the world.
Also the optically bonded screens help eliminate a level of glare from direct light and by eliminating the air gap bring the screen closer to the surface. I first saw optically bonded screens on a tablet when Microsoft previewed its yet-to-be-released Microsoft Surface tablets. I concluded then and still believe that all tablets should have it.
Enterprise Grade Exchange Support
One of the more interesting elements of the announcement was that Amazon had fully rebuilt the email client on the new Fire's and integrated enterprise grade support for Microsoft Exchange.
This signals to me that Amazon recognizes large numbers of their customers are mobile professionals who would love to be able to check e-mail on their devices. Most Android email clients are terrible in my opinion both in form and function so Amazon's work in this area will be appreciated by all who have tried to use corporate Exchange on Android.
This move also shows me that Amazon is at least thinking about ways to blur the lines between a media tablet and a general purpose tablet. They may not be there yet but I am not sure we should count them out.
Kid's Mode
Perhaps one of the features, or I should say experiences, Amazon added with the new Fire's is called Kindle Free Time. It is a customized experience on the new Fire's built just for kids.
It comes with parental controls built in that allow parents to set app or context specific limits with screen time. For example, parents could set the device to allow an infinite amount of reading time, but only 30 minutes per day of games and video.
It should be no secret that tablets are are hit with the younger demographic and also end up being shared devices at home. I personally use iPads extensively as a part of my kids educational process.
Recent news has even come out that tablets are beginning to disrupt notebook's traditional share of the K-12 school market. This is where the new Kindle's may start to get very interesting strategically for Amazon.
Due to the extremely aggressive pricing and the Kindle Free Time mode with parental controls, one can make a strong case that these tablet will have a play in the education market.
Apple reported strong sales of its older $399 iPad 2 to schools. How much more attractive might a $299 Kindle Fire HD 8.9 be? (Of course, we haven't seen what Apple has up its sleeve with the iPad Mini yet).
I can see educators and schools buying these devices and deploying them into the classroom in Kindle Free Time mode only. But for adoption to truly pick up, there needs to be more education-focused applications available for the Fire.
Quality educational tablet apps for kids is still an area the iPad has an advantage.
Competing with Kindle Fire
From what I have seen from Amazon today, I believe it will be increasingly difficult for other vendors making Android tablets to compete. Not only because of the quality hardware and software upgrades they have made, but also because of their aggressive pricing: $159 for the new Kindle Fire HD, $299 for Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and $499 for Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (including 4G connectivity).
Amazon doesn't want to loose money on the hardware, but they don't also need to make a lot of money. Amazon's revenue from the Kindle Fire comes as customers consume and purchases more Amazon content.
Google is among a very short list of Android vendors who can price following a similar business model.
Of course all of this may get a whole lot more interesting if Apple launches a smaller iPad with also aggressive pricing. It's turning out to be a very exciting time for tablet watchers and anyone interested in the future of computing,

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
13 So Boaz married Ruth and took her home to live with him. When he slept with her, the LORD enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son. | 13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. Then he went to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. |
14 And the women of the town said to Naomi, "Praise the LORD who has given you a family redeemer today! May he be famous in Israel. | 14 The women said to Naomi: "Praise be to the LORD, who this day has not left you without a kinsman-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! |
15 May this child restore your youth and care for you in your old age. For he is the son of your daughter-in-law who loves you so much and who has been better to you than seven sons!" | 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth." |
16 Naomi took care of the baby and cared for him as if he were her own. | 16 Then Naomi took the child, laid him in her lap and cared for him. |
17 The neighbor women said, "Now at last Naomi has a son again!" And they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse and the grandfather of David. | 17 The women living there said, "Naomi has a son." And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David. |

Le Caprice
Pierre Hotel
New York, NY, 10065, United States
Situated on 5th Avenue in the historic and affluent Upper East Side, Le Caprice is the stateside cousin of a famous brasserie in London with the same name. The atmosphere is a unique blend of art deco chic with a pop twist--a modernist palette of black and white serves as a nice complement to the Tihany-inspired cylindrical lighting and the many photos of 1960's supermodel Jean Shrimpton. Chef Edward Carew and his experienced kitchen team serve up timeless Continental favorites such as steak tartare and shellfish bisque with classical execution. Reservations are a must!
Insider Tip:
The wine list at Le Caprice is extensive and reasonably priced. The house champagne, Henriot, is especially desirable.

Two Girl Fuck Competition
(episode 26) This follows "First Tailgate Party of '07)
After that first football weekend and hooking up with both Mary Beth and Jennifer I discovered that they both wanted more...as in relationship more. Jennifer wanted me back! She had broken up with me THREE times, once to be free to do who or whatever she wanted for spring break, once because she believed I had cheated on her (I hadn't) because of that evil Jackie's lies, and the last time over a silly argument (no, that was just an excuse) maybe because she was tired of me. I don't know. I was suspicious Jennifer wanted me back just because another girl she knew very well wanted me. Mary Beth had let me know that she really did want to try and develop something with me. Both girls were deeply imbedded in my social clique with strong ties to my friends. Brittany believed that Jennifer broke up with to to experiment and play around but all along wanted to get me back when she was good and ready. Jennifer had always had a hold on me and could have probably done that but all of the sudden somebody came along, Mary Beth, who might could steal me away from Jennifer permanently. For a few weeks I had been able to hold them off in a status quo situation with me making no commitments to either but reaping the benefits because they were both fucking the hell out of me. But the friction was increasing and they were both putting pressure on me. I was feeling a lot of stress over it. They both knew I was having sex with the other and I was trying to be careful not to flaunt it in front of the either one. And there was no doubt that both girls were competing because every sexual encounter it seemed like they tried to out do there most recent performance. For me it was fantastic. It all came to a head the weekend of the Ole Miss game. By mid-week Mary Beth had asked me to a party that her sorority was having on Friday at their sorority house. I told her I'd go with her. As if Jennifer knew about that, Jennifer called me right away and asked me to go to the football game with her on Saturday, which meant she'd be my pre-game tailgate date and after the game. Game Saturdays are an all day event. I had to dress up nice for Mary Beth's sorority wine & cheese party and I wore khakis with a white shirt, tie and navy blazer and I even wore socks. I walked over next door to get Mary Beth and she came out wearing a sexy as hell very short blue micro mini dress, light blue stockings and pumps. She looked fantastic. We went to the party and Katie and Kelli were both there with their dates, two of my frat brothers. All the girls were dressed up and looking sexy. There were several kinds of wine and champagne but no beer (NO BEER!!!) I munched down on some cheese and crackers and fruit and wolfed down several glasses of wine. Meanwhile Mary Beth took every opportunity to sneak a grope of me, then walk away and look back at me giving me a really seductive smile. (You women really know how to tease!!!) I was really getting worked up and caught myself pitching a tent in my khakis and having to find somewhere I could stand or sit and hide it. Katie and Kelli saw me and got so tickled, they just were dying laughing while I maneuvered over behind a large plant in the corner then finally found a chair to sit and crossed my legs with some napkins in my lap to hide my boner. Of course they got Mary Beth involved and then she sat on this sofa straight across from me and started crossing her legs a lot giving me all these upskirt teases. I could see she was wearing a little super sheer pair of baby blue panties and when she gave me longer peaks I could even see her pussy lips through the sheer material. Katie and Kelli snickered while watching the whole thing and even told their dates, my friends about it and soon they were all laughing. Finally after what seemed like an eternity at that party, Mary Beth said she was ready to go. Once we were in my car we started kissing and making out like crazy. As I drove back Mary Beth was kissing on me neck and nibbling my ears while tickling and playing with my chest. Thank goodness it wasn't far. We hurried into her bedroom. (Her roommate Nikki was over at my house with Chip.) As the door slammed behind us Mary Beth pushed me against it and started kissing me, pulling my coat and tie off. Then unbuttoning my shirt she kissed down my chest. I grabbed her up in my arms and carried her to her bed. There she undid her dress and tossed it aside standing in front of me wearing only those light blue stockings, sheer baby blue panties and blue pumps. Feeling quite horny and rowdy I eased her back on the bed and then used my teeth to bite her panties and pull them down her legs. Mary Beth really liked that as she growled and exclaimed, "grrrrrrrr you're my tiger!" With her panties removed I feasted my eyes on her shaved mound and puffy wet glistening pink pussy lips. I told her how sexy she looked with those stockings on and how much I loved that. Then I buried myself into her pussy sucking those sweet lips and her clit that tasted deliciously musty. I didn't stop until she cried out that she was cumming. Mary Beth squeezed the nipples of her small breasts and moaned loudly. It didn't take long for her to orgasm after which she helped me finish getting my boxers and socks off. Then Mary Beth took my cock into her mouth and proceeded to give me a really wet sloppy blow job. Once she had my cock all juiced up she climbed up on top of me taking my cock in to her pussy and fucked me cowgirl. I really enjoyed watching how her wet labia stuck and clung to me every time she moved up, which really reminded me of fucking her competition, Jennifer. Mary Beth and I must have fucked three times that night. I know we did the usual, missionary and doggie. Then I ended up spending the night with her but had to get up and run next door to my place in the morning shower and get ready for hosting our tailgate party for the Georgia-Ole Miss game. Mary Beth knew that Jennifer was going to be my date for Saturday but that didn't stop her from coming over with Katie and Kelli for the tailgate party. Actually Mary Beth made it easier because she brought a "just a friend" guy with her to the party and for the game after. It made easier for me being with Jennifer that day and since the guy with Mary Beth, was a closet gay, I was sure he wouldn't try to fuck her. Jennifer showed about 30 minutes late of course (that's early for her! HA) She had come up with a really sexy outfit for the game, a short black ruffled school girl skirt, red shoes, red lower thigh stockings that only came up a little way above her knees leaving a lot of skin on her thighs showing. She wore a red stretchy blouse with a Georgia 'G' on it, that had long sleeves but was short, bottoming out a couple of inches above her belly button, which had a Silver Georgia Bulldog dangling from her pierced navel, silver GA Bulldog earrings and she had put her long straight dark hair in 2 ponytails to the side with red ribbons and of course the little Georgia 'G' sticker on her left cheek (every coed does that.) I took one look at her and wanted to fuck her right away, but I'd have to wait several hours for that. We had a huge crowd for the tailgate party and lots of food. Then we all headed over to Sanford Stadium to join 93,000 fellow Dawgs for the game. We expected a close game with Ole Miss and that's what it looked like through halftime. However, early in the 3rd quarter the Dawgs blew the game wide open and turned it into an awesome rout!!! That left us all in an especially festive party mood, though most of us had nearly lost our voices from yelling at the game. We converged on the frat house and another huge party ensued. Mary Beth had played it low key at the tailgate but I think she was getting smashed and kept coming by just to chat or something while I was with Jennifer. Jennifer was getting quite pissed off, I was trying to play referee and keep things cool, so finally I realized it was best to take Jennifer and leave. So I told her that her sexy little outfit had been making me horny all day and I wanted to take her back to her apartment and fuck her brains out. That worked like a charm!!! We were out the door in a flash and as soon as I was driving Jennifer's little BMW Roadster down the road, she had unzipped my pants and had my cock out bobbing her head up and down on my cock. We had to stop at a few red lights and at one light, for sure a car load of chicks noticed what Jennifer was doing to me. They all started screaming, yelling and laughing out the window at us and shaking their red shakers they still had from the football game earlier. I heard them yelling stuff like, "suck that cock!" "oh yea baby!" "suck it whoooeeie!" I believe they were somewhat drunk! HA We rushed into Jennifer's apartment and caught Brittany giving head to Randal, a fraternity brother of mine, on the sofa. We ran by them going down the hall with Jennifer yelling, "don't stop for us! I was just doing that to Buz in the car!" She had her hand in my pants as we ran down the hall. I really was horny as hell. I made Jennifer keep the red stocking on. I gave her a quickie lick job, I wasn't up for those long ones I usually gave her because I just needed to get my cock in her! And thank goodness soon we were fucking. I did feel especially wild and I was holding her legs straight up fucking her pussy and slapping her ass. She let out a cheerful yelp when I'd do it. Then I had her turned around on all fours pumping her pussy doggie style. I was making as much noise as Jennifer which can be hard to do, especially being hoarse from yelling at the game. The bed banged against the wall, bang! bang! bang! over and over. Then Jennifer begged me to fuck her in the ass. She had my cock so wet, no lube was necessary and soon I was pumping her ass from behind with my arm around her, hands massaging her clit. In a while Jennifer let out a "Oh Damn! Fucking Yes!" and started cumming. We laid in her bed and recovered somewhat before putting on robes and going to her kitchen to get a couple of beers. When we did, Brittany and Randal came out of Brittany's bedroom wearing bath robes too. Brittany was her usual mischievous smart ass self commenting on how much noise we made and asking if we'd knocked a hole in the wall. We hung around and drank a couple of beers in the living room talking with Brittany and Randal before going back to bed where we had another great round of sex. Unfortunately, Randal spread the word about mine and Jennifer's loud boisterous fuck that night and it got back to Mary Beth by the next evening. Mary Beth definitely had a plan of action. Spurred on by the fact that she now knew I had a fetish thing for thigh stockings, she showed up at my place in a sexy short black low cut dress, black stockings and heels and fixed up like she was going out for the evening. I wondered what she was doing all dressed up as she walked into my room. I was just laying on my bed studying. She closed the door behind her and walked over to my computer desk spun the chair around, sat in it, leaned it back, looked at me smiled seductively and spread her legs apart allowing me to see that she had no panties on. Mary Beth just sat there and talked sexy to me for awhile. She told me to stay on the bed and she kept her legs apart so I could see up her sexy short dress and with those sexy black thigh stockings on. Finally, I just took off my shorts and tossed them in her lap and said for her to "get her ass on the bed and fuck me." Mary Beth stood up and walked so slowly and provocatively toward me. When she got to the bed she crawled up on it and then upon my face and buried her crotch on me while she was still in that dress, stocking and heels. I performed oral on her, tasting her succulent slightly salty, perfectly aromatically musty pussy. Then we got her dress off but Mary Beth left her stockings and heels on the entirety of our sexual interlude. We started off missionary with me on top and Mary Beth's tight wet pussy felt wonderful. I pushed her legs way back which looked so sexy & inviting with those stockings on. Then she got on top of me . As she rode me cowgirl I gripped her thighs feeling the stocking fabric on her skin in my hands. As she bent over to kiss me I slid a finger from my right hand into her asshole and a finger from my left I put between us so I could massage her clit as she fucked me, bouncing up and down and grinding on me. he had screamed out loud that she was cumming then she collapsed limp on my chest, her sweaty little breasts rubbing against me. Just then I heard a loud commotion outside my door. I grabbed my shorts and hurriedly put them on and opened the door just as I heard the front door to our house slam. Chip, Nikki, Katie and Vic were all standing in the living room wide eyed and shocked looking. I asked, "What was that?" Vic looked at me and said, "Oh shit dude! That was Jennifer!" I said, "What?" Then it seemed like they all piped in loudly exclaiming that Jennifer had just come over walked in the front door said hello to all of them and chatted for just a couple of minutes. They said they couldn't think of a way to keep her from heading over toward my bedroom door. Jennifer not realizing anything yet walked up to the door and heard Mary Beth and I having sex. They said Jennifer just froze at the door listened for a few seconds and screamed "goddamn him and that bitch!" She turned and stomped out yelling, "tell Buz to go to hell!" By the time I looked out the front window there was a huge plume of burned rubber smoke coming up from the road and we could hear the tires of Jennifer's car squealing all the way down the street. Mary Beth seemed to take it all very well. My heart was racing, blood pressure pumping and I knew this thing had spiraled out of control. Mary Beth hung around with me for the rest of the evening. I don't know if she could tell how stressed I was or not. I tried to act cool but inside I was anything but cool. Mary Beth seemed to have a victorious glow about her. I got a text from Jennifer several minutes later telling me what a "tool" and an "asshole" I was. Before I went to sleep that night Jennifer had sent me a long email telling me that I blew it with her. I sent her a reply telling her that she is the one who screwed up when she broke up with me the previous spring, explaining that I would have been content with her had she never dumped me. I sat there and convinced myself that I was finished forever with Jennifer and decided I would take things to the next level with Mary Beth. Events never work out the way you plan...more to come! |

It was reported today by the New York Post that a Performing Arts Center designed by Frank Gehry lacks funding. The 1,000 seat theatre, which is to occupy a sliver of land adjacent to One World Trade Center and which is estimated to cost $450m, is reportedly hundreds of millions of dollars short of being realized.
The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation has earmarked $155m of federal funds for the project for site preparation and sub-surface engineering. But beyond that, New York Governor Mario Cuomo and the Port Authority said they will not allocate additional funds for the project, which means Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the private sector will have to cough up $295m to get it built. Funding is not the only problem facing the theatre.
It has yet to secure a tenant. According to the Post, the only tenant currently signed on, modern dance company The Joyce Theatre, is looking elsewhere for space as sources say the Joyce has concerns about the plan. This is latest in a series of setbacks at Ground Zero. In January, Larry Silverstein made a stunning announcement that he was capping 3 World Trade Center at 7 storeys, 73 floors shorter than envisioned. And other projects, most notably the 9/11 Memorial Museum which was to open this year on the anniversary of the attacks, are behind schedule due to disputes yet to be resolved and possible design flaws in below grade work at the Transit hub.
Last but not least, all this is taking place amidst an ongoing investigation of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and its possible wrongdoings and missteps in the overall management of the WTC site.

text: I always here Lou talking about the little treasures that exist at Walt Disney World that not everyone knows about. I love dicovering all the intimate details that make Disney World the most special place on earth. I would love for people to share there dicoveries of the treasure they have discovered on there visits to the park. The one I would like to share is the night time fireworks display on the Seven Seas Lagoon. My family called about getting a boat to watch it from the lake outside the magic kingdom. They mentioned the Grand One would be a nice place to watch for our big group. I had never even heard of it. We rented it for a couple hours. Brought are own food and saw the fireworks in a fashion that I had never dreamed. Hopefully everyone has events like this to share. I just would love to know what I am missing.

welcome back April!!!
Since I didn't do one of these threads when I first signed on, I'll do one now for me return. Well it's been about two weeks and I'm finally in living in Maryland. I moved in on September 18th and I still have about 100 boxes left to unpack. One of the smartest things a did was pack all my stuff for my Disney trip in October in one box and labeled it Disney trip. That way it was easy to find my copy of Lou's book!
I can't tell you how much I missed this website and I'm happy to say I'm catching up on my threads, while watching the House of Mouse and downloading Disney ringtones for my new cell phone.
I guess you can say I am pretty much settled in as long as I have Toon Disney and DWT.com!
Looking forward to chatting on Thursday!
Welcome home April!

Welcome back, Stitch!
Don't worry about the boxes - I've been here almost 13 years and there are boxes I still haven't unpacked. No Disney stuff in them, so why bother!

Hi April. We just moved also. Labour Day weekend! We haven't done too bad with the boxes. Still some in the garage to unpack. I will have to start packing for our trip soon also. Less than a month away!!
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back! I feel like I was missed almost as much as I missed all of you!
Donna, do you still want to try and meet at MNSSHP on the 31st? I'll be there with Goofygirl.
Sure, I'll be around the Liberty Tavern with an 8year old Minnie Mouse and a 2year old Alice in Wonderland. I think I'm a hula girl and not sure what I can talk DH into wearing.I think we are going to try for the second parade.
I'll look for you...So when you see two people dressed as dalmations walking towards you, don't be alarmed.
So April all settled in now?

More than 30 percent of all American adults use a smart phone. Until now, Apple's iPhone has dominated the market.
However, on Tuesday Google unveiled its own smart phone called the Nexus One, which could start a massive phone war.
Google's operating system has been on phones before, but this is the first time the Internet giant or any Internet company has sold a phone directly.
"The Nexus One belongs in an emerging category of device we call super phones," said Mario Queiroz, vice president of product management for Google.
"Google getting into the mobile phone space is a big deal," Gizmodo's John Herrman said.
Experts say Google wants to stay ahead of the curve. They point to computer maker IBM getting left in the dust during the software boom, and Microsoft playing catch up with the Internet.
So how does the Google Nexus One stack up against the iPhone? Google's smart phone has more computing power. It also has a higher resolution camera with an LED flash. But for gamers, the Nexus One touch screen is not as responsive - and that's a win for the iPhone.
Some say the ultimate battle ground is the content for these devices. Although Google's marketplace for music, video and applications is growing fast, right now, it's not as impressive as Apple's.
But as the mobile landscape grows, the consumer may end up the biggest winner.

I have recently put up hoops for a low tunnel hoop house. I plan on starting my vegetables in the early spring. Can I wait to put the covering on later in winter, or do I need to put it on now to make sure the ground will not be frozen when I plant. I plan to use a plastic covering. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
What zone are you in? Here in zone 5, even in the hoophouse the ground eventually freezes. It just buys additional time. You should be able to wait until a couple weeks (2-4 weeks) before your intended planting to put up the covering to pre-warm the soil and help dry it out if it needs it. And it helps to allow the soil to be exposed to the elements (so long as erosion isn't an issue) when you can. The cold helps to discourage pests from thinking it's their winter palace. |
An additional benefit in waiting to cover your hoophouse is extending the life of the plastic covering. |
- Posted by eaglesgarden 6b - se PA (My Page) on Wed, Nov 17, 10 at 14:02
I do the same thing as you. But, I agree with what has been posted. Reasons to leave it uncovered for the worst of the winter: 1) Discourage pests. If you are worried about the soil freezing too deeply without the hoop house, simply put down a thick layer of mulch. Remove the mulch before putting the hoop house back in place and the soil will warm more quickly. Then, return the mulch once the hoop house is no longer needed to warm the soil. |

Blood Pact: Trinkets for warlocks in patch 5.4
Last week, I couldn't fit trinkets into the article. I couldn't even fit in enough disclaimer and caveat into the article to address the article's problems. Since trinkets aren't as cut and dry as regular passively statted gear, there are more caveats and situational criteria to collect before passing a final judgment.

Chronicle star Dane DeHaan will be stepping into the shoes of Peter Parker's wealthy friend, as the aspiring Green Goblin, Harry Osborn, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Director Marc Webb announced the news today via Twitter:
In the previous Spider-Man trilogy, James Franco played the role of Harry Osborn, son of Norman Osborn (played by William DeFoe).
EDITOR'S PICK: Amazing Spider-Man: a gem overshadowed by The Avengers & The Dark Knight
DeHaan is most known for his role in Chronicle, where he played a manic depressive outsider who went on a super-powered bender. Although DeHaan might not put on the mask of the Goblin in the Spidey sequel, he'll most likely become the Goblin by movie three – thus mimicking the first Spider-Man trilogy.
Jamie Foxx is confirmed as Spidey's new enemy Electro in the second movie.
