Revised Standard Version w/ Apocrypha (RSVA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he put the Gib'eonites to death." | 1 During the reign of David, there was a famine for three successive years; so David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, "It is on account of Saul and his blood-stained house; it is because he put the Gibeonites to death." |
2 So the king called the Gib'eonites. Now the Gib'eonites were not of the people of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; although the people of Israel had sworn to spare them, Saul had sought to slay them in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah. | 2 The king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not a part of Israel but were survivors of the Amorites; the Israelites had sworn to [spare] them, but Saul in his zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilate them.) |
3 And David said to the Gib'eonites, "What shall I do for you? And how shall I make expiation, that you may bless the heritage of the LORD?" | 3 David asked the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? How shall I make amends so that you will bless the LORD's inheritance?" |
4 The Gib'eonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel." And he said, "What do you say that I shall do for you?" | 4 The Gibeonites answered him, "We have no right to demand silver or gold from Saul or his family, nor do we have the right to put anyone in Israel to death." "What do you want me to do for you?" David asked. |
5 They said to the king, "The man who consumed us and planned to destroy us, so that we should have no place in all the territory of Israel, | 5 They answered the king, "As for the man who destroyed us and plotted against us so that we have been decimated and have no place anywhere in Israel, |
6 let seven of his sons be given to us, so that we may hang them up before the LORD at Gibeon on the mountain of the LORD." And the king said, "I will give them." | 6 let seven of his male descendants be given to us to be killed and exposed before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul--the Lord's chosen one." So the king said, "I will give them to you." |
7 But the king spared Mephib'osheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the oath of the LORD which was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. | 7 The king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul. |
8 The king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Ai'ah, whom she bore to Saul, Armo'ni and Mephib'osheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to A'dri-el the son of Barzil'lai the Meho'lathite; | 8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Aiah's daughter Rizpah, whom she had borne to Saul, together with the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite. |
9 and he gave them into the hands of the Gib'eonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the LORD, and the seven of them perished together. They were put to death in the first days of harvest, at the beginning of barley harvest. | 9 He handed them over to the Gibeonites, who killed and exposed them on a hill before the LORD. All seven of them fell together; they were put to death during the first days of the harvest, just as the barley harvest was beginning. |
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Ai'ah took sackcloth, and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until rain fell upon them from the heavens; and she did not allow the birds of the air to come upon them by day, or the beasts of the field by night. | 10 Rizpah daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest till the rain poured down from the heavens on the bodies, she did not let the birds of the air touch them by day or the wild animals by night. |
11 When David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Ai'ah, the concubine of Saul, had done, | 11 When David was told what Aiah's daughter Rizpah, Saul's concubine, had done, |
12 David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the men of Ja'besh-gil'ead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, on the day the Philistines killed Saul on Gilbo'a; | 12 he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead. (They had taken them secretly from the public square at Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them after they struck Saul down on Gilboa.) |
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan; and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged. | 13 David brought the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from there, and the bones of those who had been killed and exposed were gathered up. |
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they did all that the king commanded. And after that God heeded supplications for the land. | 14 They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the tomb of Saul's father Kish, at Zela in Benjamin, and did everything the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer in behalf of the land. |
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel, and David went down together with his servants, and they fought against the Philistines; and David grew weary. | 15 Once again there was a battle between the Philistines and Israel. David went down with his men to fight against the Philistines, and he became exhausted. |
16 And Ish'bi-be'nob, one of the descendants of the giants, whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of bronze, and who was girded with a new sword, thought to kill David. | 16 And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels and who was armed with a new [sword], said he would kill David. |
17 But Abi'shai the son of Zeru'iah came to his aid, and attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then David's men adjured him, "You shall no more go out with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel." | 17 But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David's rescue; he struck the Philistine down and killed him. Then David's men swore to him, saying, "Never again will you go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel will not be extinguished." |
18 After this there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; then Sib'becai the Hu'shathite slew Saph, who was one of the descendants of the giants. | 18 In the course of time, there was another battle with the Philistines, at Gob. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha. |
19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elha'nan the son of Ja'areor'egim, the Bethlehemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. | 19 In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod. |
20 And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was descended from the giants. | 20 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot--twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. |
21 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shim'e-i, David's brother, slew him. | 21 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him. |
22 These four were descended from the giants in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. | 22 These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men. |

Eating at Sanur night market
Sanur's night market recently underwent a refurbishment of sorts, and the outcome is a much more spacious and even organised affair. But the same old warungs in the food section continue to plate their specialties from around the Indonesian archipelago. This is a good market to eat at as a tourist. Firstly, it's "authentic" (freshly … read the full post

Howie, I'm excited about the SPG promo too but, I think this one is better when combined with the AMEX promo Stay at any Aloft, Element or Four Points hotel from Aug 10 – Nov 15, 2011 and earn 1000 Amex MR. I will be using my NON-Starwood Amex for my Four Points stays and my Starwood Amex for all other stays at Starwood properties. Best of both worlds!
Where exactly should we post our recommendation? I posted in facebook under where Rick announces it. Let me know if I should post here instead or some other way. Thanks!
Howie, for your FRN destination, I think you should use it at The Canyon Suites in Scottsdale. The scenery in that area is absolutely breathtaking and it is a reasonably short drive to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon … and you can use your D70 nearly every few minutes on your way to that big hole in the earth. Spend a little more time and travel on to the North Rim and then spend a night or so in Vegas.
I'd recommend The Phoenician, Scottsdale AZ. I went there as a kid many years back and absolutely loved it, really fun area to explore as well.
Hey Howie,I do the rolling trick too when I travel. Saves alot of space and allows me to just bring a carryon and no check-in.
Hey, Howie. I just used 3 of my free nights at the Westin Dawn Beach Resort in St. Maarten and I would wholeheartedly recommend using your freebies there. As a Platinum, got upgraded to a 2/2 Parlor Suite with a nice ocean view and everyone at the property could not have been nicer. The woman at checkout yesterday even waived the $20/day resort fee without me even asking. We flew AA from Miami, and I know US Airways, JetBlue fly there as well, think Delta does as well, though maybe part-time.
The resort has its own private beach that was really nice and relaxing and the island is a lot of fun and easy to explore (rented a car for $25 a day through National) and you can drive both the French and Dutch sides in about 3 hours.
Marty firstname.lastname@example.com
Howie, since you live in the south, I would suggest somewhere not featuring beach/warm weather. How about somewhere cold like ski trip to whistler (or aspen)? if you don't mind 2 connections both The St. Regis Aspen Resortand The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler will be a great fit for a ski trip. Getting there is a bit tough from SAV though. but if you go away from Delta, both the "new united" and AA has 1 stop flights to whistler(YVR). Just my 2 cents.
How about the Westin La Cantera in San Antonio, Texas? Mild climate year around.Fiesta Texas is right next door – this is a Six Flags park with rides and musical shows, open weekends through October. Use hotel shuttle (don't mess with parking!)The Shops at La Cantera. Across the street – use hotel shuttle.The Rim shopping center and IMAX theatre across the freeway, use shuttle.Golf – 2 coursesClub Lounge with free breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres and drinks.Nice spa facilities – splurge!This is not near the Riverwalk but you could get a cab there.SeaWorld is a nearby attraction open on weekends thru December.Resort Activities such as movies under the stars, wine tastingsWinter activities such as ice skating, theatre for nominal feeVisit Boerne small, quaint German town – shops, antiquing only 17 miles awayEnjoy Mexican food and Margaritas at nearby Papa Nachos Cantina in Leon Springs or go dancing at the Big Red Barn. Both just 6 miles away from the Westin.Cascade Caverns nearby Fredericksburg, TX is another popular tourist spot (German town) only an hour away
Howie – I recommend The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa in Tucson, AZ. I love Tucson during the monsoon season at the end of summer or beginning of fall, and anytime during the winter. Pima Air & Space Museum, Sabino Canyon and the Desert Museum are a few of my favorites… and there is also plenty of golfing in the area.
Tim H.
Howie: No question – Aruba, Aruba, Aruba! You should be able to get a Delta flight there (only about 4 hours – so not too long). You can stay at the Westin in the High Rise district (I prefer the Low Rise district, but, hey, it's in Aruba so who cares!). Lowest crime rate in the Caribbean, highest repeat visitor rate, they take $s, speak English, it's outside the hurricane belt, and the restaurants, beaches, & excursions are great! My and my wife's favorite vacation place! If you choose this location, I'll be happy to give you list of our favorite restaurants. We've been 3 times and planning to go back again.
I think that you already live in a pretty warm location. Maybe that is because I am from Idaho. I do love fall in the mountains. I would recommend that you stay in Aspen or Vail outside of Denver. The commute isn't too far from Denver, and the warm days and cold nights are totally worth it. The fall colors will be coming on soon in those parts too. Then you can go home and enjoy the fall colors in SC.
I recommend the Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas, Avon / Vail Valley. The hotel is beautiful and so is the location. Vail is a great place to vacation at any time of the year because there is always something fun to do: skiing in the winter and hiking or rafting in the summer & fall. Vail is also not that far of a drive from Denver. I believe you can also fly directly into Vail from Atlanta.
I suggest the Westin Key West Resort and Marina. You can fly SAV-ATL-EYW on Delta. The flight including layover is only about 4 hours. Flights run Fridays and Mondays. No brainer!
My suggestion would be for the Equinox Resort in Manchester, VT. The fall is an absolutely fantastic time to visit and capture some gorgeous images. You can visit the Orvis store and test their fishing gear, visit the Hildene (The Lincoln Family home) and it that's not enough, there are some great outlets to visit. (You do have to meet that minimum spend requirement, right?) My husband loved the Equinox golf course, and although I haven't tried their spa, it looks wonderful. Vermont was hit pretty hard by Tropical Storm Irene, but the Equinox Resort is just fine.
I have to go with recommending the Westin Verasa Napa for your free nights. You can fly Delta to either SFO or SMF with a quick change in ATL. If you choose SFO, you can drive across the Golden Gate on your way to Napa. A fall weekend in California Wine Country would be super peaceful and relaxing. I think it would be just what you need to wind down for a couple of days, especially knowing what an affinity for wine your better half has.
I do agree with you tip on having a receipt, but instead of printing, I just use dropbox and have a local copy on my phone/ipad whatever… This last trip I just took was the first without my "travel folder" because I had all the confirmations on my phone available without an internet connection.
Howie – Another suggestion for your SPG free nites: The Westin Diplomat in Hollywood Florida is pretty close to you and is a nice place to just Chill by the pool or beach. I read on FT that they have more suites than most *wood propeties, and upgrades are freely given for those who have SPG status.

Did Anne's family push her into the marriage?
Was it Anne Boleyn's ambition or her family pushing her that led to her marriage with Henry? Such a tough question. In my opinion it was a combination of the two. I don't believe that Thomas Boleyn was as manipulative as "The Tudors" and "Other Boleyn Girl" make out but I don't think he was the angel that Joanna Denny portrays either, who tried to protect his daughter from Henry. I think Thomas saw an opportunity and made sure that his daughter took it.
As far as Anne is concerned, I do not believe that she was ruthless, cunning or had her eye on the crown. In my opinion, she was attracted to the King but did not want to end up just a notch on his bedpost and used and abused like her sister. Anne did not tangle her virtue as bait to ensnare the King but refused to give it up to him and was strong enough to say "no". Henry was infatuated with her and so proposed and then Anne acted on this and did all in her power to become his wife and Queen. Her family obviously supported her in this and "rallied the troops".
Perhaps I am alone in thinking that Anne was not ruthless and ambitious, but I just can't see it. Tempting the King and plotting could have so easily backfired and it was not as if the King had to look very hard for a mistress, and there was no precedent, Anne was the first "mistress" to be raised in such a way by Henry.
2 Responses to "Did Anne's family push her into the marriage?"
I agree with you. I think Anne truely was in love with the King, and that Thomas Boleyn simply gave her a push in the right direction. Her family supported her because it would bring them up in the world, and possibly becausae they wanted the best for their youngest. Anne knew what being a mistress had done to Mary and like many girls would've done when seeing someone they love go through something like Mary did with Henry, the French King they make a vow to never let that happen to them.
I also agree that Thomas Howard had a hand in the play as well, and when she lost her usefulness to him the Duke of Norfolk handed her to the wolves.
Thats my humble opinion

Cooper's Baecker Jazz Worship Service Performed on Bix Jazz Fest Sunday
Church of Peace performs The Baecker Jazz Worship Service on Bix Weekend Rock Island, IL . The Church of Peace in Rock Island, Ill., is celebrating the annual Bix Beiderbecke Jazz Festival Weekend with some jazz music of its own on Sunday, August 7, 2011, at 10:30 a.m.
The church's 14-piece ensemble and singers are performing The Baecker Jazz Worship Service. The Baecker Jazz Worship Service was commissioned for the 50th anniversary of the United Church of Christ in 2007. Through the extraordinary efforts and talent of composer John Cooper from Macomb, IL, the piece came to life as a full-length worship service.
Songs in the Service:
In the Beginning - It's a modern swing movement that musically explores the Book of Genesis.
Gospel: John 21 - This gospel reading is musically set in a leisure swing feel that switches to a fast swing.
St. Anthony's Light - This hard-bop gospel melody is set in 5/4 in this spirited up-tempo movement.
Doxology - Vocalists lead the band in this re-harmonized Kenton style chorale.
Communion - This jazz ballad features solo instruments for a contemplative and introspective mood.
This Little Light of Mine - The modern introduction gives way to a hard swinging shuffle in this rendition of the well-known song.
John Cooper is the current Professor of Music and the Director of Jazz Studies at Western Illinois University. The John Cooper Jazz Orchestra release "The Baecker Jazz Worship Service" was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2008.
This year is the 11th annual jazz service at the church. The Church of Peace is located at 1114 12th Street, Rock Island, Ill. Phone number is 309-788-6357 or on the web at Church of Peace UCC or on Facebook at churchofpeaceucc. Enhance the Bix Beiderbecke Jazz Festival weekend and join the Church of Peace on Sunday morning.
The Church of Peace United Church of Christ has been located in Rock Island since 1895. Founded by German immigrants, the church was originally called Deutsche Evangelical Friedens Gemeinde or German Evangelical Peace Church. In 1912, the congregation built the church at its current location on 12th Street and 12th Avenue. The church is involved in outreach efforts through its Book Nook, Saturday Food Pantry, ESL Classes, Summer Meal program, Diapers for Jesus, and work camps.

You would do as above as far as uploading and choosing the size, but some programs include a lot of nonsense in their html code for you to copy, so I prefer to do it this way.
You would type in what is in red. The black is the direct link you would paste in and finish with the red tags. NOTES: <none>

For those that asked here are the recipes
posted by: secsteve on 11.21.2011 at 02:35 pm in Kitchen Table Forum The Party Apricot Bars are one of my most requested treats at Christmas.
1 C. Dried Apricots 1 C. Sifted All Purpose Flour 1/3 C. Granulated Sugar 1/2 C. Uncooked Rolled Oats 1/2 Butter or Margarine (I prefer butter) 1/3 Sifted Flour 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder 1/4 Tsp Salt 2 Eggs well beaten 1 C. Packed Brown Sugar 1 Tsp Almond Extract 1 C. Flaked Cocoanut and Extra Cocoanut for topping In saucepan simmer apricots in water to cover for 10 mins. Drain and set aside to cool. Combine sugar, 1 C. Flour and the rolled oats. With pastry blender cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Press the mixture into a greased 9x9x2 inch pan making sure mixture comes up on sides as well as bottom. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile cut apricots into small pieces. Shift the 1/3 cup flour with baking powder and salt. Into well beaten eggs gradually blend in the brown sugar and almond extract. Stir in the flour mixture, aprictos and cocoanut. Spread this mixture carefully over the hot baked shell and sprinkle top with extra cocoanut. Bake for 30 minutes more and let cool and cut into bars. I usually let the bars get almost completely cold before cutting. If cut too soon the filling tends to fall apart. Honey Date Nut Bars
Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add honey slowly; add flour and baking powder shifted together. Add dates, nuts, vanilla and salt. Pour into large greased and floured shallow pan (like for a jelly roll). Batter should not be over 1/4 inch deep. Bake in 350 oven until golden brown 30-35 mins. Cut into bars and roll powdered sugar. Store in crock or cookie jar and cover. Taste best if allowed to ripen for about a week. Keep a long time. I was asked how many dozen I make of each. I just keep on making the different type until it looks like I have enough for all my trips. I'd guess well over 12 dozen. Hope everyone enjoys these. NOTES: <none>

Homemade Liquid Laundry Detergent....by request
posted by: jasdip on 06.28.2009 at 08:07 am in Kitchen Table Forum I mentioned I make my own laundry detergent on another thread and Alisande ask that I post this.
I LOVE this stuff! Hubby insists that his darks look better than ever. I've used the concentrated to remove grass stains from the knees of my jeans, and a friend who I gave the recipe to, got all the juice stains out of her daughter's t-shirt. A 5-gallon pail cost me $1.70 to make, and that's Canadian prices. You can cut the recipe in half, if you have a smaller pail or don't want to make such a large batch the first time. HOMEMADE LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENT 4 cups hot water
Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan of hot water. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until soap is all melted. Fill a large kitty litter bucket or 5-gallon pail ˝ full of hot water. Add melted soap, washing soda and borax. Stir well until the powder is dissolved. Fill bucket with more hot water.
The next morning the pail will be all gelled and very thick. Stir with a stick to break it up. Fill a laundry jug half-full of the detergent, and top with more water.
Use ˝ cup for top-load machines, and Ľ for front-load. Use the thickened, undiluted soap as a pre-treater. NOTES: <none>

Diaz vs. Ciriaco: A battle for the ages
Argenis Diaz and Pedro Ciriaco are two very similar players on the Pirates 40-man roster. Both are shortstops. Both have been praised for their defensive abilities. And neither are very good at hitting baseballs.
Losing Duke, LaRoche and Young
In a somewhat surprising move, the Pirates designated Zach Duke, Andy LaRoche and Delwyn Young for assignment on Friday to make room on the 40-man roster. It was not surprising that those players were let go, bit I figured the front office would hang on to them until the non-tender deadline in an attempt to make a trade.
Pace of Pirates pitchers
"Work fast, throw strikes, change speeds" – Ray Miller
This was the philosophy of former Pirates pitching coach Ray Miller. Does it cause pitchers to perform better? Well, we may be close to finding out. FanGraphs is now tracking each pitcher's average time between pitches.
Meek or Hanrahan could be dealt
Per Jon Morosi of FoxSports.com: The Pirates are comfortable with their internal options at closer, Evan Meek and Joel Hanrahan. But one source suggested that Pittsburgh could deal one of the two and sign a replacement.
Dejan Kovacevic discusses his ROY ballot
As you probably know, Pirates beat writer Dejan Kovacevic has been taking some heat this week for his Rookie of the Year selections. Dejan left Atlanta Braves right fielder Jason Heyward off his ballot, voting for Buster Posey, Neil Walker and Jose Tabata instead.

A few things you should know: Bonbons are usually one of a kind and may be made with feathers, vintage glass and other materials, silk and sometimes precious stones and sterling silver. They are strong and beautiful but also delicate, so... Many Bonbons are designed using antique glass so please be gentle and handle with care. Store away from heat and dust, preferably in a jewelry box or on the lovely letterpress card in the pretty box that comes with all Bonbons. To slow the tarnishing process on your sterling silver pieces,store them in a cool place such as a box or a drawer. If tarnishing does occur, just wipe gently with a jewelry cloth. If you want to use silver cleaner, use a cotton swab and be especially careful with bonbons that have vintage glass, pearls or jewels. Pearls or opals should never be touched with silver cleaner!
Brass charms will darken with age and if you wear your jewelry when bathing or swimming or when simply not worn. The darkening adds to vintage look and feel of your piece. If you prefer, they can be polished up gently with a soft cotton cloth or a little commercial brand Brasso, found at most hardware stores or even supermarkets. Again, keep this and all chemicals away from pearls. Some natural wear may occur with certain pieces which will aid in your bonbon's "vintage look" especially pieces with fabric flowers, feathers and ribbon. Feathers can be preened into shape and some jewelry can be adjusted to your own specs. Fabrics, beads and colors: occasionally the color of the ribbon, beads or fabrics used to make bonbon's may vary slightly from the color on-screen. We always maintain the highest standards of quality. If you have any questions about a piece, please don't hesitate to write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Well, they finally got some information out there for us! Sweet! The desciptions about what is planned looks really fun, and I plan on being there. Anyone else?
D23'S DESTINATION D: DISNEYLAND '55 AT THE DISNEYLAND RESORTl
D23'S GREAT DISNEY SCAVENGER HUNT AT THE DISNEYLAND RESORTThis year is the 55th anniversary of Disneyland Resort, and D23 is celebrating this milestone year with the premiere of Destination D: Disneyland '55, a brand-new, two-day event that illuminates the fascinating history behind Disney's flagship park.
Destination D: Disneyland '55 will take D23 Members on a mesmerizing journey through the design, creation, debut and magical history of the world's first Disney theme park. The event will offer two full days of special presentations, panels, screenings and guest speakers that give fans an inside view of this fascinating era in Disney history and let them meet and talk with key figures in Disneyland's history. Future Destination D events will explore other important aspects of Disney's amazing creative legacy. Following its premiere in September, Destination D will alternate annually with the enormously popular D23 Expo.
Event highlights include our Mickey Mouse Club 55th Anniversary presentation, reuniting original Mouseketeers Sharon Baird, Doreen Tracey, Bobby Burgess, Karen Pendleton, Sherry Van Meter (formerly Alberoni), Tommy Cole, Cubby O'Brien, and Mary Geoff (formerly Espinosa) for a delightful trip back in time to the dawning of the television era with the club that was, like D23, "made for you and me."
Destination D will also mark the debut of the Disney Legends Celebration, a heartfelt tribute to those who have made a lasting contribution to the Disney legacy. All Destination D attendees and Disney Legends will be invited to attend E-Ticket: Music from the Disney Parks, a concert of memorable tunes through the years at the Disneyland Resort with some very special guests, including Disney Legend Richard Sherman.
All guests will also receive a limited-edition set of colorful, vintage Disneyland postcards from the Walt Disney Archives Collection. It's a reproduction of actual postcards sold when Disneyland opened in 1955 it's just a coincidence that the complete set features 23 images!
There will also be a selection of limited edition merchandise available for purchase at the event.
Shown below is the current lineup for Destination D: Disneyland '55 (times to be announced later this summer; panels and talent subject to change):
Mickey Mouse Club 55th Anniversary
Join original Mouseketeers including Sharon Baird, Doreen Tracey, Bobby Burgess, Karen Pendleton, Sherry Van Meter (Alberoni), Tommy Cole, Cubby O'Brien and Mary Geoff (Espinosa) for a magical walk down memory lane as they recall their favorite behind-the-scenes stories from the classic Disneyland attraction Mickey Mouse Club Circus.
Weird Disney
From the startling visuals of the 1930's Fanchon & Marco "Mickey Mouse Idea" vaudeville shows to Disneyland's "Kap the Kaiser Aluminum Pig" and the "Crane Bathroom of Tomorrow," Disney's history has included some pretty offbeat stuff. Join Archives Director Becky Cline and Disney historian Paul Anderson as they act as your tour guides on a fun-filled, irreverent and often-surprising road trip through the wonderfully weird and wacky side of Disney.
From Quirky to Collectible: The Wonderful World of Disneyland Merchandise
Curiouser and curiouser! From a Mark Twain Riverboat AM radio to a Matterhorn bank, we will present a treasure trove of timeless trinkets and unique souvenirs. Merchandise mavens Stacia Martin and Paul Anderson and Disney Archivist Rob Klein will take you to a collector's Cloud Nine, including the "Top 5 Rarest Pieces of Disneyana" and the "Top 5 Strangest Items of Disneyland Memorabilia." You won't believe what they have found!
The 1964 New York World's Fair and the Development of Audio-Animatronics® Characters With so many incredible Disney achievements over the years, it's hard to pick one as most impressive. But one milestone Disney's contribution to the 1964 New York World's Fair arguably stands far and above any other for its impact on Disneyland, the dawning of Walt Disney World and now, the Disney theme park experience around the world. Hosted by historian Paul Anderson, this is a fascinating and remarkable story of how 50 years ago Walt and his Imagineers broke the barriers of technology and pioneered an entirely new chapter in the history of entertainment, and in doing so, drastically changed the course of Disney theme park history.
Imagineering the Magic of Disney
Disney Legend Marty Sklar hosts a prestigious panel of some of Disney's most creative minds made up of Imagineering Legends and current Imagineers. Join us as Bob Gurr, Blaine Gibson, Dave Durham, Kathy Mangum, Kevin Rafferty and other Imagineers share their memories and favorite moments about creating iconic attractions at the world's most popular theme parks.
E-Ticket: Music from the Disney Parks
As part of this year's inaugural Disney Legends Celebration, D23 Members are invited to join some Disney Legends for a colorful concert of music from the past and present of Disneyland Resort. Highlighting the concert will be Disney Legend Richard Sherman, who along with his brother Robert has contributed a multitude of songs to the Disney parks legacy, including "it's a small world," "The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" and many more. Performing will be a host of special guests, including John Tartaglia (Avenue Q, Johnny and the Sprites), Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty), Wilson Cruz (Rent, My So-Called Life), members of the Disney Employee Choir and many more, all paying tribute to some of the most enduring tunes in the Disney canon.
Disneyland Through the Eye of Television
Archivist Rob Klein presents this unique look at the history of Disneyland as it was first seen by the general public on television. This vibrant presentation includes Walt's first announcement of Disneyland, highlights from the original Disneyland television anthology series showing progress on the park and classic anniversary specials, as well as rarely seen promotional spots for Disneyland from the '60s and '70s for the Matterhorn, Main Street Electrical Parade, "New" Tomorrowland 1967 and much more!
Disney Undiscovered
No creative idea, no matter how marvelously imagined, is guaranteed to make it from the sketchbooks of Disney Imagineers to the parks. 2010's D23 Member gift, Disney Undiscovered, pays tribute to Disney's enduring creative spirit by celebrating the work of some of Disney's greatest dreamers and artists, whose feats of creative daring even if never completed will stand the test of time as masterpieces of the imagination. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the further fascinating details about these rare, never-produced park attractions and the Imagineers who dreamed them up.
Disneyland: The Happiest Place in Pop Culture
A humorous and informative journey through 55 years of popular culture as reflected in the original Magic Kingdom. Featuring rarely seen photos and film clips, the presentation, hosted by Disney authority Tim O'Day, will take you down memory lane, narrowly escaping bad fashions, bad hair and park entertainment, and events and attractions that definitely belong in Memoryland.
Disneyland: The Way We Were
Remember the Mickey Mouse Club Circus, Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship, TWA Rocket to the Moon, The Frito Kid, or America Sings? Join Disney Chief Archivist Dave Smith as we explore some vintage images of Disneyland: first some rare color photographs taken during the park's construction, then a look at some beloved, gone-but-not-forgotten attractions, shops and restaurants. Throughout this presentation, Dave will reminisce about early visits to Disneyland, taking the audience back to some classic moments in the park's rich history.
A Word from the President
Disneyland President George Kalogridis shares a very special presentation with D23.
The Wonderful World of Vintage Disneyland In Color!
Media Preservationist Ed Hobelman and Imagineer Tony Baxter share a trove of archival treasures and screen rarely seen color footage of Disneyland from the 1950s and 1960s.
Disneyland, U.S.A. Screening and Panel
A big-screen presentation of the classic 1956 People and Places featurette, Disneyland, U.S.A., followed by a panel featuring members of the film's restoration team, Disney Imagineers and Disney Legends who experienced the park first-hand during those early years, including Tony Baxter, Ed Hobelman, Dave Smith and Geri Bumpass. Hosted by Tim O'Day.
The Hunt is on!

The top 10 teams will win fantastic prizes, including goodies and collectibles from our friends at Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, Walt Disney Records, the Walt Disney Collectors Society, Walt Disney Publishing and the Walt Disney Archives.

The Hunt will take place in Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and throughout the Disneyland Resort Hotels.

Each team must consist of no fewer than two (2) players and no more than four (4) players.
Each member of the team must fill out a waiver before registering at the event.
The Team Leader will be responsible for checking the team in. The entire team does not need to stand in line. However, the entire team must be present at the start of the Hunt in order to participate.
Inside the registration packet will be a "runner's bib" (similar to what runners wear in a marathon) with the team number and safety pins with which to attach the number. ALL team members must wear their bibs on the front of their shirts at all times.

D23 Scavenger Hunt representatives in the Resort may, at any time, check a team to make sure it has the appropriate number of members. Teams that do not remain together will be disqualified with no appeals.
All teams must have at least one digital camera to document certain moments on the Hunt. The team is responsible for having a working camera. Should a camera not function properly, it is the responsibility of the team to correct the problem.
Any questions or issues will be decided by a panel of D23 judges at the Hunt. These decisions will be binding and final.
All written answers must be legible. No points will be awarded if judges are not able to read the answer.
In the event of a tie, there will be a lightning round of questions between one representative from each of the tying teams. The round will be overseen by one of the D23 judges. All decisions are binding and final.

Inconsistent quality for Chilean blueberries in previous years has created some uncertainty in the marketplace coming into this year's deal, but suppliers emphasize improvements are in the works.
"The last few years out of Chile, fruit quality has been inconsistent, and that leaves a bad taste in your mouth for the consumer," said Joe Barsi, director of business development at California Giant Inc., Watsonville, Calif.
"The industry has made strides in working together to make sure there is more quality control and quality assurance at the grower level."
Barsi said last year the market was surprised by the high volume, and using smaller pack sizes left it ill-prepared.
Inadequate shipping space also caused delays that hurt berry shelf life.
"Last year, there was a big increase in fruit from week 49 to 52, and a lot of fruit packed up in a small sizes," he said.
"Retail prices were high and that backed up the fruit and fruit was plugged in the supply chain. It had been sitting there for a while and was not as good."
Mario Flores, blueberry product manager for Naturipe Farms LLC, Naples, Fla., agreed that the industry had to undergo a learning curve to adjust to the rapid growth of volume from new plantings maturing.
A very concentrated peak of dukes in the central valley area last year also caused logistical delays and led to poor postharvest handling, which he said must be corrected this year.
"Sometimes fruit may have to wait until the next available boat, four to five days later," he said.
"But now, as these newer acres are coming into production, people are getting a better grasp of new production volumes, and they are getting prepared."
This year, Barsi said an industry agreement on bigger pack sizes is a good first step. The right price at retail and good quality also will be essential for a successful deal.
Barsi added that one of the reasons why California Giant added a full-time staff person in Santiago was to help with quality control.
"We wanted to make sure our quality is consistent with our brand," he said. "He is down there building new relationships with suppliers and overseeing quality control/ quality assurance on the ground."
Mark Girardin, president of North Bay Produce Inc., Traverse City, Mich., said that as a grower cooperative, North Bay does not work with many third-party personnel, meaning stockholders' primary concern is getting the best berries to market.
He also said that the berries are run through soft-sorting equipment in Chile before leaving the country of origin. Upon arrival in Miami, inspectors and staff personnel review the fruit to see if it is in good condition or if it needs to be repackaged.

Does anyone know about growing Poppies?
Which Annual poppies do best, how are they sown and which varieties are best for the Northeast? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by donnabaskets 7b-8 MS (My Page) on Mon, Feb 9, 09 at 11:30
I have grown California Poppies (shades or peach and orange) and Shirley Poppies (red, pink, and white shades). They are very easy and very beautiful for the short time they last here in the South. They might very well do better where you live. We sow them in the fall here, but I would expect you'd sow them in very early spring as far north as you are. If they are happy, they'll self sow from year to year. |
- Posted by jackied164 z6 MA (My Page) on Tue, Feb 10, 09 at 21:08
I have grown the same here plus some other annual types here in roughly the same zone. They are indeed very easy. I sow directly in March when the garden beds seem just somewhat recovering from the winter and rake them in a bit. In my experience the orange California poppies are the most robust (the other colors which are typically more expensive never do as well). I have grown many different Shirley Poppies and they all do well until they poop out later in July. They reseed here a bit but not enough to keep me from buying more seeds every year. I have tried treating them like wildflowers and scattering seeds in the wilder areas of my old mostly wild yard. This was not successful. They do seem to need tilled soil here and some looking after. |
I'm just north of Jackie in NH, and I also direct-sow them in March. If there's snow, they simply get broadcast over the snow. If no snow, a VERY slight raking into the soil so they aren't rolling all over the (possibly still frozen or hard) soil. I sow many MANY styles of poppies, and never have issues with them either reseeding or having plenty of seed for next season. I did make the 'investment' first year with a gal over on eBay who had myriads of poppy styles for sale (seeds)...lemme see if I can find her username over there. I probably spent $50 for all the individual varieties I bought from her, but the service was excellent, and I had no problems with any of them. Enjoy!!! |

I have found Wildseed Farms to be a good economical source for annual poppy seeds. I have grown poppies many different ways - indoors, winter sown, direct sow, sowing direct later in May or even June but have found that they do best when sown direct very early. |

I know that velveeta and american cheese slices melt well. But, I try not to use them.
I've been using cheddar cheese, I prefer white cheddar, for cheese sauces and mac and cheese. Can anyone recommend a good melting cheese for sauce and such, other than grated cheddar? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use Vermont Cabot for mac and cheese, comes in white or orange. To me it is the best, maybe because I grew up on it! |

Muenster is a good melting cheese too! For a while I had trouble finding it in some of the local stores, but now I have a good source. I like it on cheese toast, pizza, and mixed with cheddar and Jack for mac and cheese. |
All "real" cheese melts well. When you start with the low fat and the pasteurized processes this and that, you run into problems. Chedder,Swiss, gruyere, parmesan, jack, edam, gouda, brie, blue, gorgonzola, stilton, fontina, provolone...all melt very well... But "lo-fat" and "lite" won't do it... And as much as it pains me to say it....Velveeta, Kraft singles also melt well. Linda C |
Thanks everyone! I've tried a couple of different ones before and wound up with a stringy mess. I'll be trying a different cheese each time I make sauce or mac, etc. Thanks! And Linda C, I feel your pain lol. |
I use various cheeses. My favorites are fontina, monterey jacks, cheddars (sharp especially for us), gouda, edam, gruyere, mozzarella, parmesan, romano, and provolone. I have melted asiago once and it came out okay too. The trick is to make your white sauce first and then add the cheese as the milk warms in small chunks or shred it. Stir contantly and don't whisk it, just easy stirs. Velvety sauce everytime is my experience. If you aren't making a sauce, or adding it to other ingredients, then almost anything will do I would think, but fresh cheeses like goat cheese can separate on you, I've had that happen once. Most cheese have a huge fat content and have salt. The fatter the cheese, usually the easier it melts I would think. We eat a LOT of cheese in our family, but we like it fresh cut or in a sauce best. Cheddar and mozzarella are the basic toppings for pizza or like tuna melts. Our favorite cheeses for macaroni and cheeses when I do it homemade is a mixture. I will do tomato sauces or white sauce based cheese sauces based on what tag ends of cheese, or cheese I need to use are in the fridge. Fontina is a favorite white cheese around here for melting. And, I think I forgot plain swiss in my list. But, baby swiss to nice ripe swiss cheese always tastes good mixed with beef. Try fontina cheese mixed in with ground veal, and don't forget to use feta cheese with lamb!! |
Thank you, potpie! I needed the tips. I find that cheese is a difficult thing, for me anyway. Funny you mentioned whisking! I always whisk the dickens out of my sauce!! Maybe that is why it sometimes doesn't turn out? I really appreciate your input. Thanks again! |

For a non stringy cheese melt, one must add flour and mix well and cook until smooth. Start with a basic recipe for a bechamel sauce and add wharever cheese you like bext or a combination of cheeses, grate all the cheeses well or break them into small pieces and blend into the basic bechamel sauce and whisk until smooth, then add macaroni, pour over vegetables, place in fondue pot under mild heat, or whatever the intended use of the melted cheese was to begin with. You won't fail, use patience and don't rush the process. To cook out the flour taste always cook the sauce and then the cheeses for at least ten minutes. Don't forget the seasonings, a little cayene, some nutmeg, not much and the things you like. Properly melt cheese, Otherwise you got Pizza! |
I think Joe meant to cook the sauce to cook out the flour taste, THEN add the cheese....but after you add the cheese don't cook...as in "boil" or the cheese may separate into strings and chewey clods. |
One cheese that no one has mentioned is "Cooper's Sharp". I like to use it with steak sandwiches, hamburgers, and for mac & cheese. For the mac & cheese I use it in combination with a milder tasting orange colored, or even American cheese. The two give a nice cheesy flavor to the pasta dish! |

The melting technique is important to all cheeses. Cheese is high in fat, so it responds quickly to heat, but it's also high in protein, so high heat, or exposure to heat for too long, denatures the proteins and toughens cheese; too much heat can also make cheese stringy. Cheese should be shredded, grated, sliced, or chopped into small pieces before you melt it. (Please, please, don't use preshredded cheese! It is a matter of a few quick swipes against a grater to shred your own, and the packaged stuff you buy often has preservatives in it.) Reduced fat cheeses melt decently in some instances, but fat-free cheeses won't melt anywhere near as nicely as will full fat types, because fat, in addition to providing some protection from heat, allows for the beautifully smooth viscosity, or thickness, of melted cheese. |

I also don't want to use Velveta, or sliced American, cause they don't have that tang, or bite. Have tried Cheddar and it end up stringy (YUCK) I don't want to try what others have already and have the same failure, there has to be some one who is in the culinary arts that can help me. |

Make a rue, add cheese and melt SLOWLY... Most people try and melt cheese to quickly and then you end up with a clunky mess. Once I have my sauce established is when I add extra heavy cream if it needs to be thinner. Also if you are adding extra flavor to your cheese, wait until your sauce is melt together. |
Shred your cheeses beforehand. Make a medium White sauce. Then set the cooked white sauce aside to cool slightly. Add your shreded cheeses (all at the same time). Stir until everything is incorporated |

I don't like the word 'boobies' -- disrespectful to women. Boobies? They should be called 'yaybies.' How about that, everybody? Why is 'boo' in it when they're awesome? They should be yaybies or hooraybies or standing ovabies. If they're not perfect, they're still OKabies. They are not great persabies, but I'll touch them maybes. Feel free to use any of those. I would avoid hooraybies -- that sounds like a disease. Some kind of herpes/rabies combo that you get when a dog bites your junk.

Consumer guide: handbags
Consumer guide: handbags
Find out about the many handbag styles, which ones best fit certain body types, and how designer labels play a part in selecting your favorite handbag.Totes: A tote bag is usually in the shape of a square and is roomy enough for any women to carry everything she needs for the day. It's great for a casual day to get you from work to the gym. Tote bags can come in different sizes. Note: If you are small and petite, go for a smaller sized tote that will look proportionate to your body size.
Hobo Bags: Hobo's are oversized bags where you can practically carry everything but the kitchen sink. The look is large and slouchy and can look incredibly fashionable and can go with every occasion (except of course the cocktail event). Note: Size does matter. It can look a little odd on an extremely petite body frame, since it is so oversized. Look for a slightly smaller size if you're tiny.
Classic Handbags: This bag is your basic everyday handbag. The classic shape, smaller size, the long or short shoulder strap in the everyday color ? black, beige or brown is perfect for anyone. It could be a designer logo bag or a basic leather bag, either way you have a win/win situation. Note: Any body type would look great with this type of handbag.
Clutches: Who doesn't love a classic clutch? Women love to get dressed up and this strapless type of handbag really does the trick. Whether you're looking for a vintage clutch from the 50's or a new designer clutch, looking for one with details is key. Note: If you're curvaceous a tiny clutch may not be for you - go for a medium sized one. If you're tiny a larger clutch may not off set your proportions, a smaller clutch would look great on you.
Dressy Backpacks: These are great to give your weekend look a dressier vibe. And, if you choose a sleek backpack such as a Louis Vuitton, you take the chic look to a whole new level. The best part is your hands are free, so shopping is not a problem. Note: Backpacks look great on any body type.
Messenger Bags: Messenger bags are great to take to the office for men or women. They are sleek, chic and swing right over the shoulder. These bags are large enough to carry all of your needs for the day and take you right into evening. Note: These look great on any body type as well.
Now that you know about all of the fabulous styles of handbags, get shopping.

With drugs at Paris Hilton's birthday party, P. Diddy being charged with assault, Antonella Barba and her revealing pictures, and poor Britney holed up in rehab, the fact that so many celebrities are so out of control is an alarming trend. Especially since young kids view these superstars as role models…. in fact in 2006, Britney and Paris were both named Worst Role Models of the Year.
However, with the recent death of party girl, Anna Nicole Smith, a sobering reality has come to the forefront. As more and more celebrity lives are destroyed by out-of-control behaviour the trend may reverse itself… hopefully before it's too late.

Removing Wax from Votives
By Heloise
Special Offers
How do you clean votive holders once the candle has been used up? I can never get the melted wax out of the bottom.-- Cheryl Penava, Louisville, KY
To remove wax, soak the holders in a container filled with very hot water for a few minutes. You can also put them facedown on a sturdy paper plate on top of a cookie sheet in a 200° F oven until the wax softens (keep checking). Use a hot pad or mitt to pick up the holders and wipe them clean with paper towels. Hint: Pour a bit of water in the bottom of the votive holder before adding the candle to help prevent melted wax from sticking.Latest Stories
