Title | Oral history with Reverend Clinton Collier |
Description | Oral history.; Interview conducted on July 28, 1981 with Reverend Clinton Collier at the Methodist Church in Morton, Mississippi. Collier was born on August 24, 1909 in rural Neshoba County. After completing the eighth grade, which was as high as Black schools taught at that time, he went to Tougaloo College. The depression interrupted Collier's education and his teaching career began. He taught in Mississippi until 1940, and then moved to Washington, D.C. where he worked until he was drafted into the Navy in 1942. After two years of service, Collier went back to Washington, D.C. and then on to Detroit until returning to Mississippi in 1956. He returned to public school teaching and entered the United Methodist ministry. During the late 1950s and the 1960s Collier was closely associated with leaders of the civil rights movement and was very active on the state and local level. |

The LSAT is not as fun as the Haunted Mansion, but just as scary.
Jerrame is finally going to get her own movie! This is a movie about a black princess in N'Awlins who can't spell!
They call me "Nana"
You know, I just read about this tonight and was about to go posting it when I discovered that Timbo here had beaten me to the chase. Oh well... as long as the news is out there.
Thank goodness for Iger and his promise to return to the traditional Disney animation stylings that made it such a success. Not that there's anything wrong with the new computer animation... but it's nice to see that Disney is willing to go back to its roots from time to time.
-Don-Your heart can just take wing,You can live out all your dreams......it's time to Remember the Magic!Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pilot's Life for Me...
Hush up at least I can finally I get to be one and I'm sure the sista can spell.
I just hope they dont make her to be some setero type of black of the time period.
But why she got to be a Frog Princess dang. Couldn't she the Princess of New Orleans or the hey the Bayou but Frog
Here a picture of Princess Maddy
I am looking forward to adding some Princess Maddy trading pins to my collection. She looks sooo! beautiful. Are there any out yet?

Deciduous, Evergreen, Perennials
Tuberous, somewhat fleshy roots give rise to large clumps of arching, sword-shaped leaves—evergreen, semievergreen, or deciduous, depending on the daylily type. Deciduous types go completely dormant in winter and are the hardiest, surviving without protection to about –35°F/–37°C; where winters are very mild, however, they may not get enough chill to perform well.
Evergreen kinds succeed in mild-winter regions as well as in colder areas, but they need a protective mulch (such as a 4–6-in. layer of hay) where temperatures dip below –20°F/–29°C. Semievergreen sorts may or may not retain their leaves, depending on where they are grown.
Clusters of flowers like lilies appear at the ends of generally leafless stems that stand well above the foliage. Older yellow, orange, and rust red daylilies have in most part been replaced by newer kinds in an expanded range of colors and patterns; both tall and dwarf varieties are available. Many species daylilies exist, but only a few are offered by nurseries; most of those available are hybrids.
Few plants are tougher, more persistent, or more trouble free. Daylilies adapt to almost any kind of soil. You can set out bare-root plants at any time during the growing season; spring and summer are better in cold-winter zones, while fall and winter are preferred where winters are warm. Plant from containers at any time from early spring through mid-autumn (year-round in mild-winter areas). For best results, provide well-drained soil amended with organic matter; give regular moisture from spring through fall. When clumps become crowded (usually after 3 to 6 years), divide them in fall or early spring in hot-summer areas, during summer in cool-summer regions or where the growing season is short.
Deciduous, evergreen, and semievergreen. Standard-size hybrids generally grow to 2 1/2–4 ft. tall and 2–3 ft.wide; some selections reach 6 ft. high. Dwarf types grow just to 1–2 ft. tall and wide.
Flowers of standard kinds are 4–8 in. across, those of dwarfs 1 1/2–3 1/2 in. wide. Some have broad petals, others narrow, spidery ones; many have ruffled petal edges. Colors range far beyond the basic yellow, orange, and rusty red to pink, vermilion, buff, apricot, plum or lilac purple, cream, and near-white, often with contrasting eyes or midrib stripes that yield a bicolor effect. Many varieties are sprinkled with tiny iridescent dots known as diamond dust.
Some hybrids bloom throughout warm weather; these include the 3-ft.-high Starburst series, which comes in a variety of colors, as well as 2-ft.-high dwarf varieties 'Black-eye Stella', 'Happy Returns', 'Stella de Oro', and 'Pardon Me'.
New hybrids appear in such numbers that it's hard to keep up. To get the ones you want, visit daylily specialists, buy plants in bloom at your local nursery, study catalogs, or visit the website of the American Hemerocallis Society (daylilies.org).
Hemerocallis lilioasphodelusDeciduous plant from China. Reaches 3 ft. high and wide, with 2-ft.-long leaves; 4-in., fragrant, pure yellow flowers bloom in mid- to late spring. Newer hybrids may be showier, but this species is still cherished for its delightful perfume and early bloom time.
Hemerocallis minorThis deciduous plant from eastern Asia grows to 2 ft. high and wide, with narrow (1/4-in.-wide) leaves. Blooms for a relatively short time in late spring or early summer, when fragrant, bright golden yellow flowers are held just above the foliage. This is among the few daylilies hardy enough to succeed in Alaska's interior.
Eschscholzia caespitosa

Heliopsis helianthoides

The first guests arrived at Grand Canyon's El Tovar in 1905; it received a $4.6 million renovation for its 100th birthday in 2005, including a major sprucing up of guest rooms (the most upscale in the park). In between, the sweeping, multi-tiered structure has hosted no fewer than eight U.S. presidents, from Teddy Roosevelt to Bill Clinton. Built during a period of architectural mash-up, this national park lodge has been described as a cross between Swiss chalet and Norwegian villa, with the interior of a hunting lodge (taxidermy included). Situated just 100 yards from the canyon's south rim, the view all but steals the show. It can be appreciated from many angles – on the lounge porch during cocktail hour; in the dining room over buckwheat pancakes drizzled with prickly pear syrup; or sitting on the private deck of one of three suites with prize views, which consistently sell out more than a year in advance.

Stand on a chair Look in the back of the cabinet Pull out dusty cobwebby stuff Wash and Fling (or just Fling, depending on what it is)
It's all LITTLE junk (none of the BIG IMPACT of a big hunk of junk) but it's all out of here! I cancelled out of my after-work meeting tonight... coughing like crazy... and it's good to have a "bonus" night to de-clutter. Maybe I'll wear myself out and get a good night's sleep tonight? The cough syrup with codeine is another bonus, LOL. Julie |

P.S. If you have boys, get the clothes pins without the spring; otherwise they will dis-assemble them and you'll step on clothespin parts!! |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Wed, Sep 28, 05 at 11:19
Congrats! Let's see who else can dig in the back of the cabinet! (boy, I hate cabinets w/ a "back" in them. but I guess they're useful for holding all that stuff we can't quite toss) Here's what's in the back of my ultra-deep one. *a box containing souvenirs and snapshots, marked "wedding and honeymoon." Now, I have a set of Good Foods in the bedroom, and I get them out to cook out of them now and then. I won't really use the others, I don't think. But I can't quite let go of them. Maybe in a year or two? Oh, and: S'pose I can let them go? |
Yesterday I opened the bathroom cabinet under the sink, and found a large triangular patch of mold growing, which I have spent 2 days treating. Does that count as getting rid of something? Well, I also tossed 2 razor blades, a bottle of Pantene hair softener, 2 rags with so many hanging strings that they were a pain to use, and 8 bars of Ivory Soap (DH is allergic)(well, I really am going to give those away). Do we get to try another cabinet? |
- Posted by Julie_MI_Z5 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 28, 05 at 23:26
Obviously the clothespin comment was mis-posted (shame on me! LOL). Yes, Plow In, mold counts only because it's nasty and took 2 days of treating. OF COURSE you get to try another cabinet! My results: Tonight's cabinet was the top shelf over the stove, with the DUSTY shoebox of small "treasures" and odd-shaped lightbulbs. 1 marker (dried out) **Please note that I did ask DH what those metal pokey things were, and he THINKS they're turkey skewers. Keeping in mind that we have NEVER USED THEM, he was a little snippy when he asked if I was just going to give them away to the garage sale. Ummm... YES!! Gee whiz, I'm sorry I even let him see them. Maybe one day he'll get rid of the hoarding mentality? It's really kind of funny because he makes fun of OTHER people with the hoarding mentality, but doesn't see it in himself. I need to go tie up the trash bag before he decides to go through it and make sure I didn't throw out "good" stuff that we might need some day. Julie |
After almost three years of Flylady brainwashing, I can honestly say, "There's nothing in the back of the cabinet." What a relief. Gloria |
I pulled one food cabinet apart today and tossed last year's Halloween/Christmas/Easter candy that my kids had stashed away and forgotten. I also tossed two bags of marshmallows that would have spent the winter turning into rocks. Thank you for the inspiration! |
- Posted by Julie_MI_Z5 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 30, 05 at 2:08
Gloria, I am VERY impressed! I've been flying for about 5 years and still find clutter in odd places. The first few years I concentrated more on the BIG items, now I'm working hard on the little hidden junk I missed during the past Super Flings. Sheri, good job pitching that candy! |
Julie--with six of us in the house, I know what you mean about stuff showing up. I'm just amazed at how much stuff I continually have going out of this house to the thrift stores. One thing that really helped my this year was moving from a traditional house with traditional closets and cabinets to a house we remodeled extensively before we moved in. I was able to spend four months really evaluating what we needed for storage space and adapting the space to fit how we live. Since I'm 5'4", I made sure that any spaces created didn't have shelves above my sight level. Out of sight out of mind didn't work for me (especially since my DH is tall and tended to stash stuff up high.) I took out almost all of the upper kitchen cabinets and am putting in open shelves. For my youngest kid's rooms I didn't have closets installed. Now, nothing piles up in those black holes. The problem for me now, is since we don't stash stuff, we end up with hot spots piling out in the open. But that's good since it makes me deal with them. And as usally, 90% of the stuff is just trash. Gloria |
Yesterday I had 90"H X 90"W X 16"D pantry (right outside the kitchen door) added to the garage. So I am moving serving pieces and small appliances to this newly created area. I am just beginning to relocate things so I am sure that I will have a lot to report. Thus far I have found: Can you say "excessive"? |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Fri, Sep 30, 05 at 14:55
Mustangs, did you get pull-out shelves in that pantry? If not, see if you can retro fit them--even if it's just in one section. 16"D is pretty deep--it'd be really nice to have some closely spaced shelves that you can reach the back of! www.shelvesthatslide.com Wow, 27 ramekins? And all those deviled egg platters. deviled-egg platters always make me wonder if the reason I don't care for deviled eggs is mostly because of the platter--they're a pain, bcs they're SO specialized; you can't use them for anything else. You can't nest or stack them. And they're usually very big! |
- Posted by Julie_MI_Z5 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 30, 05 at 19:39
THREE DEVILED EGG PLATTERS?! I'm jealous! My sister and I were having a contest to see who could collect the most painted ceramic deviled egg plates. I think she found 3 and I found zero. She cheated, though, because she called my aunt and had them sent to her. I came home from work today coughing less, but more tired. So far this is all I've tossed today: 1 empty canning jar Thirty more minutes searching for junk (while the clothes dry) then I need to get ready for early bedtime. |
TS, I know what you mean, I wanted shallow shelves but for this application, I think I will be okay. I am using the garage pantry for non-food items. I am using it for: |

I played the "Cabinet" game over the weekend and cleaned out under the kitchen sink. WHO puts all the junk in there? Tons gone, AGAIN. It must be the stuff-all place for things that have no home. |

Keep That Client!
By: Elizabeth Roche, MD
Posted: January 7, 2009, from the January 2009 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Client retention is the cornerstone of building any new or existing buisness. Keeping your current clients is much easier than gaining new ones, and there are certain tactics that a business owner can implement to ensure client loyalty and retention. Medical spas, and spas in general, are among one of the fastest growing sectors in the consumer market today. In fact, SpaFinder's Susie Ellis was quoted in The New York Times as saying there are more spas in the United States than there are Starbucks.1 In an industry that is becoming fiercely competitive, staying true to your mission is key.
Powerful words
Before discussing ways to ensure client satisfaction and retention, it is important to first look at some facts regarding the issue at hand. It has been said that seven out of 10 clients who switch to a competitor do so because they have received poor service—not because of better deals or extensive offers—but because of how they were treated by their current service provider.2 Another important fact is that a good customer experience is told to eight other people, while a bad customer experience is told to 22.2 As with any business, you want your clients to brag about you. Good word-of-mouth alone may not bring in droves of business, but bad word-of-mouth will definitely keep people away, regardless of your marketing efforts. Following are some suggestions about how to establish deep-rooted relationships with your clients, and ensure the continued growth and success of your business.
Think like a consumer. What are consumers looking for? What do they want? Consider what keeps you going back to a certain business. It's a combination of many aspects; however, exceptional customer service is the driving force behind repeat business. When clients walk into your spa, they should feel welcome and that their business is appreciated. This kind of valuation will stick with clients and last much longer than any treatment. Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, once said that its goal as a company is to have customer service that is not just the best, but legendary.3
That is the attitude every company—especially every medical spa—should maintain and practice on a daily basis. This commitment does not end with clients' visits. Acknowledging birthdays, sending out thank-you letters for referrals or calling to follow up on services are all great ways to show you value the relationship you've built. The small things you put out to show you care will turn into even greater returns.
Win with marketing. Promotional marketing is a winning tactic that not only gets new business in the door, but also allows existing clients affordable options that give them the opportunity to visit your facility more frequently. Providing a discounted treatment or even offering a package of multiple procedures that complement each other are a great way to promote your menu items and entice clients into trying something they might not otherwise consider. For example, a package called the 3D Rejuvenation Package could combine two photorejuvenation treatments—one that treats surface pigmentation and one that stimulates collagen-tightening—followed by a third treatment of superficial to mid-depth laser resurfacing. These three treatments support each other by targeting the different dimensions of the skin. This is a value your client will appreciate because they are getting a great deal and seeing dynamic results.
A weaker economy also warrants the need for any values you can offer to your clients in order to show that you are attuned to the need of providing affordable options for a variety of lifestyles. Offering repeat discounts, first-time specials and package-deal promotions are all great ways to extend savings to clients. It is also extremely important to note that if you can provide ongoing savings to your clients, you have established a bond with them that will ensure repeat business.

Government pipeline rhetoric reminiscent of Cold War, McCarthyism: prof
In 1952, infamous U.S. anti-communist crusader Joseph McCarthy declared, "McCarthyism is Americanism with its sleeves rolled."
Today, a Canadian national security expert warned that Conservative government rhetoric against opponents of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline – with accusations of "radical groups" and "foreign" influence – bears some disturbing similarities to Cold War red-baiting.
- Unethical oil and its Canadian friends
- Harper concerned about "hijacked" Northern Gateway hearings
- Soros' Open Society Foundation responds to Joe Oliver's claims about enviro fundng
"Basically, they are trying to undermine the anti-pipeline wing of the environmental movement by associating it ... with radicalism," said Gary Kinsman, a Laurentian University sociology professor and historian who has written extensively on national security. "The Conservative government and supporters seems to be taking a very hard line against aspects of ecological movement organizing.
"It has a very bad influence on democratic discourse, since it suggests that the anti-pipeline position is a risk to Canadian national security and is not really 'Canadian' – since it is defined by 'foreign' interests."
Environmental and Indigenous groups cried foul this week after federal natural resources minister Joe Oliver released an open letter accusing pipeline opponents of being "radical groups... (with) funding from foreign special interest groups to undermine Canada's national economic interest."
But most worrying to some critics are the government's threats to review the charitable status and funding sources of non-profit organizations critical of the pipeline. Sources told CBC News that the House of Commons finance committee may be targeting environmental groups when it meets in February, although that committee's chair could not confirm that.
And such an inquiry – especially targeting groups critical of government policy – spells danger for civil liberties, Kinsman warned.
"This harkens back to the House Un-American Activities Committee in the U.S. which was central to the U.S. Cold War national security campaigns against dissent," he told the Vancouver Observer. "If this is done it would be a considerable escalation of Canadian national security practices.
"The reference to undermining 'Canada's national economic interest' has become standard in national security discourse. This implies there is some sort of unitary Canadian 'national interest' defined in opposition to the anti-pipeline movement. It tries to read this environmental organizing as being outside of, or in opposition to the 'nation.'"
The natural resource minister's comments come after months of lobbying by the energy sector, which has long suggested that U.S. environmental groups are attempting to influence Canadian policy.
Last Friday, the Prime Minister chimed in, echoing the allegations: "Growing concern has been expressed to me about the use of foreign money to really overload the public consultation phase of regulatory hearings just for the purpose of slowing down the process," Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters in Edmonton.
Green Party member of Parliament Elizabeth May responded to Oliver's open letter with her own, criticizing the government for intimidating the many Canadians who are questioning the pipeline project.
"Unfortunately, I think your role as minister of natural resources has been hijacked by the [Prime Minister's Office] spin machine," she wrote to Oliver. "The PMO is, in turn, hijacked by the foreign oil lobby.
"By characterizing this issue as environmental radicals versus Canada's future prosperity you have done a grave disservice to the development of sensible public policy."
Although Oliver and Harper's comments appear to be a hardening of federal environmental policy -- within months of Canada pulling out of the Kyoto climate change accord -- Kinsman said that the Canadian government has actually used the "radical" label for decades to discredit social movements, and should come as no surprise now.
Last year, RCMP documents revealed that the federal government increased its surveillance of First Nations "hot spots" -- including B.C. territories crossed by the pipeline -- and exposed a Canada-wide project to monitor Indigenous activists.
"They have done (that) also with global justice, anarchist and anti-capitalist protesters over the last decade," he said. "They are now extending this to the anti-pipeline environmental movement.
"In this context it is interesting that U.S. environmental groups now become the 'foreign' interest. In the past the 'foreign' interests were certainly not from the U.S."
Since publishing his open letter on a government website, Oliver has maintained his allegations of foreign influence and "radical ideologies," though he admitted that not all environmentalists are so-called radicals.
"We are not demonizing," Oliver said Monday. "I have not called everybody radicals, nor do I think they are, nor do I think they're trying to stop every kind of development. But there are some that do.
"I thought we'd just get the facts out without being politically correct about it."
Kinsman said that the hard-line rhetoric seen this week around the pipeline is a worrying sign of things to come – particularly in the event of protests or civil disobedience against the project, when a tougher approach could escalate conflict. But in the face of growing public concern, confrontational government rhetoric could also help the anti-pipeline movement.
"It can backfire on the government," he said. "But only if there is a major mobilization against it that cuts across this national security and anti-radical discourse."
"They don't tell us that 'radical' means getting to the 'root' of the problem," he added.

Keystone propaganda set to ramp up
The Vancouver Sun was bought this weeks by "Big Oil backers" in a bid to ramp up the propaganda with regards to the proposed Keystone XL / Northern Gateway proposals. Enbridge has had 800+ oil spills, another spill just this week as Northern Gateway hearing begin. With 4000+ speakers scheduled at the hearing, and 78% of Canadians opposed to this deal based on unbias polls. The spin and rhetoric we can expect from our Big Oil own governement and media should be unprecidented. As 600 000 manufacturing jobs are cut in the east and China now owner of the Alberta tarsands, this spin is going to cost taxpayers a small fortune. Our governmnet no longer represents the Canadian people.

Truth in advertising would
Truth in advertising would inform us that Kinsman simply detests all conservatives. Can´t imagine what he might have been writing about ssm yesterday...that is, before Andrew Coyne cut the haters off at the knees with his piece.
Evidently, Kinsman helped found Gays and Lesbians Against the Right Everywhere. No pre-determination there folks.
Using Hitler references these days fairly well instantly discredits a writer. So Kinsman resorts to McCarthyism instead. Sad.
What credence would Kinsman grant to North Van single mom Vivian Krause´s, research website fair-questions.com ?
Or is everything a big oil or just a conservative conspiracy?
Harper to sign NDAA?
Things are getting pretty strange alright. As a soon-to-be-called "ecoterrorist" for patiently trying to save my beloved BC coast from an inevitable ecological disaster, when can I expect the Harper regime to provide me with an orange jump suit, a black bag over my head, and a prolonged vacation at some undisclosed rat-infested location?
Saw Harper interview on the National last night.
He said that he is "certain" that the Iranians are building a bomb; that's "just a fact". However, Leon Panetta just admitted last week that the CIA is certain they are not, based on best available intelligence of course, something that we know Harpers and his minions are entirely bereft of.
Harper also said he is "certain" that Iran will use the bomb (which the CIA publicly admits they are *not* currently developing) and, when pressed by Mansbridge, admitted that there is no basis in fact to his assertion but that it is simply his "belief".
Dog help us all.

A Big Blue World at AoA with the Fab Four - Nov. 24-28, 2012 TR *Updated 5/17/14
Hi everyone! I've been wanting to do this TR ever since we returned from WDW. I'm finally getting to it! :yay:
The seeds of this trip were planted on New Year's Eve 2011. I was very sad after my sweet 13-year old dog died just before Christmas. I was spending NYE with 2 friends, one of which (J, you'll meet him in a moment) is a huge Disney buff, to the point that his friends & family surprised him at WDW for his 30th birthday. As we waited to ring in 2012, I told J that I hadn't been to WDW since 2000, and I really wanted to go. That's all it took, the planning started right then! We decided to go in mid-October so we could enjoy the Food & Wine Festival, and to celebrate both our birthdays, which are both around that time. I registered on the DISboards on January 7, 2012, and started getting serious on my planning! By January 11th, we were booked at POFQ in a Royal Room, just the 2 of us. We made a few ADRs, and we were all set... until August, when we both had work conflicts come up for mid-October! :headache: So we decided to go right after Thanksgiving, hoping for smaller crowds. POFQ didn't have any rooms, so we booked at CBR instead. Cut to September, and 2 of our friends, G and S, wanted to come with us - the more, the merrier, right? ;) With 4 adults, we decided that we'd like some more room to spread out. AoA was brand-new and looked beautiful. We lucked out and were able to get a Finding Nemo suite there - best decision we could've made, having that bedroom and 2 full baths! We tried to make new ADRs, but choices were limited with less than 60 days til our trip. The countdown was reset, and it wasn't long before it was time to go to WDW! :goodvibes A quick intro to our Fab Four: http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2801021-aj.jpg That's me. I'm single, mid-30s, and I love all things Disney (especially the Muppets!). I'm originally from Indiana, but I've lived and worked in NYC for 10 years now. I'm a big planner, I had a massive spreadsheet for this trip! I resolved after this trip to not let another 13 years pass before I return to WDW! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...IOA-037-aj.jpg My most excellent friend and fellow Disney buff, J (seen here at IOA at the WWOHP). He's like a brother to me, I've known him for many years. You'll see that he loves to ham it up. J grew up in Florida, so he was a WDW regular (lucky!). He's in his early 30s, married, works in NYC, and lives in NJ. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...IOA-038-ag.jpg My wonderful friend, G - he took a liking to this Slytherin robe at WWOHP. Despite that, he has one of the kindest hearts of anyone I know. He grew up spending summers at WDW and also spent his honeymoon at WDW. He lives and works in NYC. And finally... http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2/01151-as.jpg Meet S! He gives the best bear hugs, and he's a goof, I love him. S is single, early 30s, lives and works in NJ. So that's the cast of characters... and trust me, they are characters! ;) I hope you'll stick around for the updates. Enjoy!

Oh yay! I'm in!
I am in, will be at AoA in June of 14, so excited to hear your review!
Day 1, Part 1 - Magical Express, take me away to the AoA!
The day was finally here! I was beyond excited. Since we had an early flight out of Newark, I spent the night at J's, and his DH took us to the airport. S met up with us there. G was already in Florida, visiting his parents for Thanksgiving. The plan was for G to meet us at AoA, along with J's parents, who drove up from Miami.
Flight was on time, everything was good. Then we saw the line for the Magical Express. :scared1: It looked so long! Luckily, the buses were coming close together. We still waited for over 30 minutes and finally made it onto the 3rd bus. I just wanted to get to WDW already! I was so antsy. We were the first resort dropped off. :) The other 2 resorts on our ME were POP and CBR. We walked into the AoA lobby... beautiful! It was so Disney, I loved it. The animation was truly amazing. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...012/203-ag.jpg The animation wall in the lobby, opposite the check-in area. There was free lemonade and cookies sitting out for everyone. And there sat G with J's parents - perfect! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/201-ajs.jpg Me, S and J with J's mom, with check-in behind us We explored a little as J checked us in, which seemed to be a very smooth process. This animation wall was very impressive... http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/2051-aj.jpg And so was the AoA Christmas tree! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../2052-ajgs.jpg It was 1:00 PM, and our room was ready - yes! :banana: J's parents were also staying at AoA in the Cars Land section, but their room wasn't ready yet. The rest of us went to check out our Finding Nemo suite. We were in Building 5, just past The Big Blue Pool, on the 2nd floor. The hallways smelled so new and fresh, and the artwork was so colorful and beautiful. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2/2053-ags.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../2054-aj-1.jpg We made it to our room. A Mickey towel awaited us on the bed. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/2042-ag.jpg Bedroom with a queen bed and adjoining full bathroom http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...012/2043-a.jpg TV and dresser in bedroom http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2012/204-a.jpg The 2nd bathroom, of course wonderfully themed. A door separated the toilet and tub/shower. We really loved our suite. It was perfect for 4 adults who brought a lot for 5 days, and then of course we bought more! :) I slept on the sofabed one night - it was fine, as far as sofabeds go. J slept on the Murphy bed that pulled down from the table, he said it was comfortable. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. There was a tiny kitchenette, tucked beside the sofa, with a small fridge and microwave. Up next... our first park! |
Day 1, Part 2 - "How have I never tasted this before?"
Of course, a bus came from every other park before one came for our park of choice. When it finally came, after about a 20-minute wait, we were ready!
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...071-agjs-P.jpg We were off to the Magic Kingdom, a natural choice for our first park. Since J's parents were only going to 1 park, they wanted to see the New Fantasyland, which was fine with us! Let the memories begin! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2012/303-a.jpg As we used our KTTW cards for the first time, something amusing and somewhat annoying happened to me that would become a gag among us - the scanner had a very difficult time reading my fingerprint! This happened several times, at both WDW and IOA. I started joking that I was really in the Witness Protection Program. :rolleyes2 But I finally made it through, and we walked under the tunnel and onto Main Street USA! I hadn't been to WDW at holiday time since I was probably 5 years old, so everything seemed so new to me with the holiday decorations. They were gorgeous, especially on Main Street USA! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2012/305-a.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/3052-ag.jpg As soon as we started walking down Main Street, I heard a shriek from G - one of his favorite Aristocats was nearby! G insisted on getting a photo. I had no idea he was such a big fan. The things you learn about friends on vacation! ;) http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...85a91060ba.jpg As we walked down Main Street, Cinderella's Castle came into better view. It took my breath away, it looked so magnificent! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/3056-ag.jpg At the hub, we took a left toward Frontierland. It was 3:00 PM, and we hadn't yet had lunch, so we went to a very crowded Pecos Bill's Cafe for some food. Even on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the line moved quickly, and the 6 of us squeezed around a 4-person table. The food was good for quick service food. I was just so happy to be there, it really didn't matter what I was eating! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/3062-as.jpg We decided over lunch to experience the Country Bear Jamboree, our first attraction, and a favorite of mine as a child. It didn't disappoint! I took this at the part that they do allow photography, of course I always follow the rules while at WDW! ;) http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/3063-aj.jpg Next up... Adventureland! You can sense the excitement building. :) http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../3062-agjs.jpg We checked the POTC wait, which was under 30 minutes - perfect! The line moved quickly, and we all really enjoyed it. That's one of J's absolute favorites, he was very happy! I don't remember who it was, but someone in our group then insisted that we had to go buy Dole Whips. I guess I'm not as big of a Disney fan as I thought, because I'd never heard of a Dole Whip. Somehow, through all my trips to WDW, I had never experienced the Enchanted Tiki Room, and I'd never had a Dole Whip! :confused: Well, we remedied that quickly, at least the Dole Whip part. We decided to save the Enchanted Tiki Room for another day since it was already past 4:00 PM, and we had an ADR at 8:00 PM. When I took my first taste of that Dole Whip, I couldn't believe that I had never tasted it before now! It was literally one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life. I got the pineapple-vanilla swirl. S got the pineapple float but said after tasting ours, he wished he'd gotten ours - he only got one bite of mine, the rest was for me! It was SO GOOD!!! :goodvibes http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...whips-crop.jpg Next up... a Splash Mountain breakdown, our first peek at the New Fantasyland, and our first taste of LaFrou's Brew! |
I'm in. Loving this!!
Day 1, Part 3 - Mountains and Mansions and Castles, oh my!
OK, so by this time it was around 4:30 PM, give or take a few. We were near Splash Mountain, and the wait wasn't bad at all, so we got in line. Just as we entered the boarding area, it broke down. :sad2: Splash Mountain is one of my all-time favorite rides, and the sad part is I had only been on it once before, when I visited WDW in 2000 with friends. We rode it at night during the parade (a great time to ride it, as it was practically empty with no line). I was in the front seat and got wet, but I loved every second of it. I had high hopes for another ride on our first day at MK this time around, but it wasn't meant to be. Moving on then, we had a lot of ground to cover and still make it to our 8:00 PM ADR!
We walked through Liberty Square and decided to bypass HM for now, because the main priority was to show J's parents (and see for ourselves) the new Fantasyland additions. We were not disappointed! We walked by Prince Eric's castle and a very long line for Under the Sea. That wasn't going to happen today on our tight timeframe, but it was great to see it just the same, and exciting to see the construction happening for the Seven Dwarves Mine Train! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/3071-aj.jpg We walked through Belle's Village, also very busy, and stopped at Gaston's Tavern for LaFrou's brew. I liked it but didn't love it. To me, it tasted like fizzy apple juice. I doubt I'd pay for it again. The guys really liked it, though. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2/307-agjs.jpg Here is the Beast's castle off in the distance, with BOG underneath it. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...2012/307-a.jpg As we walked back to the older part of Fantasyland, G insisted that we all stop and see Mickey's PhilharMagic. S and I had never seen it, but everyone said how great it was. So we got in line and timed it well, we were inside in just a few minutes. I have to say, I loved it! Such a fun experience. I will definitely do that again next time I'm at MK. J's all-time favorite attraction is The Haunted Mansion. We still had plenty of time before our FP window for Space Mountain (G and I had gone to get the 4 of us FPs for SM when everyone else was in the long line at Aloha Isle for Dole Whips). So we walked back to Liberty Square and waited for maybe 30 minutes for HM. We went through the interactive queue, really fun! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../3077-agjs.jpg It was just about dusk, so it was the perfect opportunity for some great photos of nearby BTMRR. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...012/3076-a.jpg I loved the HM, especially the new special effects! It was also relaxing, as we'd been walking for some time before that. Next Up: Time for Tomorrowland, and MK all lit up and festive at night! |
I'm going to update more very soon, promise! I've been working on my scrapbook for this trip as well, so that consumed most of my time this past weekend. |
Joining in!! We were there at the same time and we stayed at AoA as well...we were in the Little Mermaid section! We were also at MK on this day too..woohoo! Looking forward to see if anything else overlaps.
More to come soon, promise! Thanks for joining in! |
Day 1 Part 4 - "It's a great big beautiful tomorrow"
By now it was about 6:00 PM, not quite time for our Space Mountain FPs to be used. It was now dark, and I absolutely love the MK at night! We walked from Fantasyland toward Tomorrowland. I enjoyed seeing the castle from the back and side, different viewpoints but still so pretty.
Not the best photo, but at least you can see the holiday decorations on the back of the castle. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...012/3082-a.jpg We wandered around Tomorrowland, taking it all in. We debated what to ride. G and I considered riding Astro Orbiter but decided to wait. S is a smoker, so every once in awhile he would wander off - let me tell you, we now know where all the smoking places are in the MK, because we'd have to meet S there. I'm so glad I quit several years ago! Anyway, we decided to visit Carousel of Progress. I don't ever remember 'riding' this attraction before. I found it somewhat charming, but also so out of date now - we were mainly laughing throughout it, and of course we were singing "It's a great big beautiful tomorrow" after the first scene - that song never quite goes out of my head! :eek: ;) Finally, it was time to use our Space Mountain FPs. We had just a short wait in the FP line. I was nervous! Quick side story: When I was probably 6 or 7, I was riding the TTA with my parents and little brother. My dad had convinced me to ride Space Mountain with him for the first time until the TTA went through the ride - scared me to death, all in the dark with cars flying by and people screaming! Of course, our next trip, I rode it and loved it. I really enjoyed it this time as well, I just didn't remember it feeling so fast! I know part of that is because it's in the dark, but wow - it's a really great coaster! We all loved it. It was time to head back to Main Street and meet up with J's parents so we could make our 8:00 PM ADR at the Grand Floridian Cafe. As we walked over the bridge from Tomorrowland, a PhotoPass photographer stopped us and asked us if we wanted a photo with the castle in the background. It turned out to be one of my favorite photos from the trip! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../3081-agjs.jpg The castle is just so beautiful all lit up at night, I couldn't get enough of it! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...012/3089-a.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/3086-as.jpg Main Street was just as gorgeous, all lit up, and the holiday decorations really made it special. I could've stayed there all night, taking it all in, except that I was getting hungry, and it was very crowded! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/3091-as.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...012/3094-a.jpg We were back to where we'd started earlier that day, at the front of the MK, and it was time to take the monorail to the Grand Floridian! Coming up... a monorail breakdown, and the beautiful Grand Floridian all decked out for the holidays! |
Day 1, Part 5 - Almost as bad as rush hour in NYC
We just left the MK, the Fab Four plus J's parents. As we started up the ramp to the monorail station, we noticed a huge crowd waiting for the monorail. This was around 7:30 PM, normally plenty of time to get the monorail to the GF for an 8:00 PM ADR. We debated getting out of line to take the boat to the GF, but it also had a huge line, and one full boat was just about to leave the dock. At that point, we still thought our best bet was to wait for the monorail. :rolleyes: Now wouldn't you think that at 7:30 PM on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, monorails would be arriving every 5-10 minutes at least? We waited 20 minutes, no monorail, and keep in mind there was already a sizable crowd before we got there! We were clearly going to be late for our ADR. G's parents had gone to Sea World for the day (I know, why not WDW? I tried not to judge them too harshly. ;) ) So we were texting his parents to see if they were already at the GF and could check in for us, but they were having parking difficulties.
Finally, a monorail came, only it was almost as bad as rush hour in New York City - people were crammed in, people behind us were pushing us, but we still didn't make it on. :sad2: The only thing that made it better than NYC was that regardless of this, we were still in WDW. :) Another one came in just a few minutes, thank goodness. Being the New Yorkers we are, the 4 of us squeezed in around some strollers and EMVs to get nice and cozy with some people, while J's parents squeezed into some seats. The crowd behind us still waiting for the monorail was daunting. Clearly, something had gone very wrong with the monorail system that night! I usually enjoy taking the monorail and going through the Contemporary, and I don't remember ever going to the Poly or the GF on it. But I was so worried about us missing our ADR, not to mention trying to shuffle around while people pushed past to get off the monorail and then on from the resorts, that I couldn't really enjoy the glimpses we got of the Contempory or the Poly. Finally, we made it to the GF, but then we had to find the restaurant! :rolleyes: I had never been to the GF, but J kinda knew where we were going. By this time, G's parents had parked and had checked in. Once we arrived at the Grand Floridian Cafe, it was past 8:30 PM - yes, it took us over an hour to get from the MK to the GF Cafe! Craziness. But now comes the good part - after a full day of traveling, then motoring through the MK, then the monorail fiasco, we finally got to let down and relax and just visit with each other - so nice! Our server at the GF was terrific. When we arrived, the place was mostly empty - she said that they'd received word to be flexible with everyone's ADRs because apparently the monorail had indeed broken down, and it was expected that everyone would be very late. Phew! The 8 of us had a really lovely dinner - I wish I'd taken photos of our meals and drinks, but they were all very good. I really liked the vibe in the GF Cafe, too - it was refined yet casual, if that makes sense. The quick glances I had of the resort as we'd made our way from the monorail to the GF Cafe were gorgeous. After a great dinner, we explored the GF. I was in awe of the main Christmas tree - I mean, COME ON! It was beyond beautiful! I had to sit next to it. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/4013-ag.jpg The life-size gingerbread house was very impressive - I think I could live in it. :) http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...12/401-ags.jpg I took several more photos, but everyone was very tired after a very long day, so we decided it was time to say goodbye to G's parents, who were driving back to their home in Sarasota, and head back to AoA. But how would we get there? http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...012/403-aj.jpg We weren't ready to trust the monorail again, so we decided to take the boat back to the MK, and then catch a bus to the AoA from there. We waited maybe 10 minutes for the boat, not bad except that it was windy and cold. I was OK in my hooded sweatshirt, but J's parents from Miami were cold. :) We were able to see the very end of the Water Pageant, which was very cool - I'd never seen that before. And as the boat neared the MK, we saw Wishes starting! We were so tired, though, and we wanted to beat the crowds, so we headed to the AoA bus line. The line itself was already very long, but buses were coming fast - we only waited 20 minutes, I was sure it would be longer. We said goodnight to J's parents, who were staying in a Cars suite, and headed to our new home, our Finding Nemo suite. We were all beat and certainly didn't do much but get ready for bed. We had to be up at a decent time the next morning because J's parents were going to drop us off at Universal Orlando on their way back to Miami. I was so excited to check out for the first time the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Coming up... Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, butterbeer, Jurassic Park, Ripsaw Falls, and more at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure! Plus a food court review of breakfast at AoA. |
Following along! :goodvibes
Enjoying your report!! :)
Hi & thanks for writing this! Loving it so far & can't wait to hear about WWOHP! I'll be going there for the first time in Feb, 2014. :banana:

woohoo. got a credit card offer today and it includes zero interest for 1 yr and no transfer fee. i have not seen that offer for several years now. its discover card and i usually get 1 offer per week. almost threw it out. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Be careful with these new promo offers. They can pay off, but only if you use them in specific ways. Zero percent interest is great. Remember though that the new CC laws require the card holder to post payments to the highest interest debt. If you use this card for anything else, your payments will go to the new charges and not the old balance. That sounds OK at first, but what happens if you aren't paid off by the end of the promotional period? The new law still lets companies jack the rate to whatever they want at the end of a promotion. That means any balance you have at the end of the promo could go to 30% interest or similar. It is really more critical than ever that you pay off any cards in full before the promo period expires. If you are just paying the minimum payments and continue to use the card, these type of transfers could blow up in your face. |
my current interest rate is reasonable. my credit is very good. but no interest for 1 yr is nice. at end of year, i could transfer balance back to current card. fee is 3-4% to do that. still end up saving money on interest for year. yes it is musical chairs but it also saves money. you cannot deny that. since it will be an additional card, i do not plan on charging anything on it. will use my current card for purchases. |
"you cannot deny that. " I most certainly deny that. It has become VERY common for credit card companies to reduce available credit once balances are paid off or transferred. It is not a safe assumption to say that you will be able to transfer this balance back and just play musical chairs with it. You MAY luck out and be able to get this debt back on a card with a "reasonable" interest rate, but that is far from a sure thing. The bigger issue is that your plan involves carrying balances for more than a year. If a year of no interest is the breathing room you need to get you off of the debt merrygoround, fantastic. Definitely take advantage of the offer. On the flip side, if you aren't planning to pay this debt off within a year, you are taking on a great deal of risk for a modest reward. |
Hi joe from the land of many lakes, An important part of the plan is to not add any new purchases on the new card, which you said you plan to follow, as they credit the total amounts of payments to the transferred amount that carries the low interest rate until it's fully paid off. Another important method is to pay off the balance owing on that new card in full before the end of the year, which will avoid any transfer fee to move it back to the original card - or a new one that charges a low or nil fee for a balance transferred. The best plan? While you're working hard to pay off all of that balance owing on the new card, try not to add any new purchases to the original card during the year that you won't be able to pay off in full before the second billing date, which will mean that you rack up no interest cost. I like the taste of them apples best. ole joyful |

Although a lot of our dogs are located in TX, many of our dogs have found their forever homes in other states. Please don't hesitate to call us if you are interested in any of the dogs we have available for adoption.
About Our Rescue Group:
About Rescue 2 RehabWe rescue dogs from high kill shelters, as well as from other dangerous and abusive situations. Some of these dogs require intense medical attention as well as a safe place to re-enter back into this world. During this process some of the dogs stand out as those that might be a candidate for the initial evaluations stage for becoming a service, therapy and emotional support dogs for people in need i.e PTSD, Autism Spectrum, Emotional/Mental and Developmental Needs. Dogs that pass the initial evaluation will go on to the first stage of training. We are currently in the process of searching for additional qualified trainers and fosters just for these dogs. Part of the mission is to make these dogs available to those that normally wouldn't be able to afford them, yet so desperately need them.
Dogs that do not pass the initial evaluation stage are put back on the available list to be adopted.
Our Adoption Process:
Adoption ProcessRequirements to Adopt
It is our responsibility to find the best possible homes for the dogs and puppies in our care. We consider important details in finding the right fit, such as a person's home, interests and lifestyle. We then match those with an animal's social, exercise and training needs. Some of our animals have special needs or requirements like being an only pet or medical issues or they may not be good with kids etc....Therefore we reserve the right to deny an adoption if we feel it is not a good fit or in the animal's best interest.
Adoption Requirements:
You must be at least 21 years of age
Have a valid, government issued, photo ID with you with your current address on it
Must have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household.
Must receive proof of pet deposit and lease allowing pets if renting.
Must be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and responsible care for a pet including yearly vaccinations, check up and monthly heartworm prevention (for dogs)
Must have everyone in the household that is 13 years of age or older read or have read to them explaining what is expected, and what needs to be done to insure the best chance of a smooth transition of the new pet into their new home. All members of the household 13 years and up MUST sign the contract extension stating they have read the information and agree with adopting the dog or puppy.
* Rescue 2 Rehab requires that all dogs/puppies that are adopted be inside dogs, and be members of the family.
All dogs and puppies will have had, or will need to have:
Vaccinations: DHPP-Parvo/Bordatella for dogs and puppies (as recommended based on age)
Yearly Rabies (for dogs and puppies over four months of age)
Worming (as recommended based on age)
Spay or Neuter or an agreement and date to have the surgery performed
Monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventive
Microchip ID and lifetime registration
Adopters receive the following:
Adoption counseling to help the adopter select the dog best suited to the family and home environment
Educational materials (see our website for information too)
Adoption Donation Fees:
$250 for dogs and puppies* (*discounts for law enforcement, fire fighters, Veterans and active military are available. Other discounts may be available depending on the animal on a case to case basis.)
The Adoption Fee helps us to cover the costs of all the animals in our care, including: tests, vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter surgeries, medications, surgeries, rehabilitation and boarding. Any donations over the stated adoption fees are greatly appreciated. On average, we spend more than the adoption donation fee for each animal in our care.
Adoption Process:
Visit http://www.rescue2rehab.org/adoption-process.html for our online adoption application. We will get back to you as quickly as we can ( we are an all volunteer organization). We will review the application with you by phone if there are any concerns or questions. We will require a home check for all dog adoptions. Once approved, you will sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption donation fee.
Note: We will always take back an animal if you can no longer keep them for any reason.

Date 2010-04-22 Availability unrestricted Abstract Africa is a diverse continent. Different communities have different cultural practices they participate in. Children who form part of these communities are also expected to take part. Some of these practices are harmful to children. This is a human rights issue, given the clash between children's rights and the right to participate in one's cultural activities. This is a widely recognised fact. For this reason, the law protects children in this regard. The challenge is that despite these laws, children are still subjected to these harmful traditional practices.

Getting Through Finals!
Our friends at the JED Foundation have posted these useful tips on getting through school.
It's Finals Time!
Are you or someone you know preparing for exams? Here are some tips to share about staying healthy during this stressful time at school:
- Sleep. We know it's tempting to pull all-nighters when you are preparing for an exam, but it is proven that getting sleep is more beneficial to your success than those unproductive, very late nights of studying.
- Exercise. Whether it's walking, running, yoga, a dance class or ultimate frisbee, moving your body will help to give you energy and relieve tension.
- Remember to eat – and not just junk food. Your body and brain need sustenance to focus and retain information.
- Take advantage of office hours. Your professors are there for you – don't be afraid to ask questions or for help with your work when you need it.
- There's no magic pill. Misusing prescription drugs is not an effective or safe strategy to get through finals. Research shows that students who take un-prescribed stimulants to study or stay awake do worse academically than those who don't.
- There's good stress and bad stress. If you are feeling so overwhelmed or anxious that it's difficult to concentrate, sleep, eat or participate in your usual activities, please talk to a counselor or an advisor.
- Do your best. It may not be possible to ace every test, and that is OK. Try your hardest and be proud that you did.
Share your tips for staying emotionally healthy at school using #myhealthyU on Twitter and Facebook!
If you feel you are in crisis and cannot access your school's counseling service you can call 1-800-273-TALK.
Good luck from all of us at The Jed Foundation!

Hello everyone, I just found out about these CP Forums. I got accepted for the Spring 07 program, but wasn't able to make it, so now I'm really hoping I made it into the Fall 07 program. I'm still waiting to hear back from Disney.
If you anyone has a myspace feel free to join my Fall 07 group, you can find it at the groups section on myspace, just search for Walt Disney World College Program Fall 07 and you should find it, in case you want to meet other fellow CPers.

What't the current feeling about the Liftmaster 3800LM residential jackshaft garage door openers?
I was planning to install them on my new garage, but was warned by someone who should be in the loop that people were having problems with them, especially with heavier doors. I have done several web searches without finding many negative postings about them, so the warning came as a surprise. Has anyone here had any bad experiences with these units? Thanks. |

I have a feeling your source is confusing the Liftmaster with the Wayne Dalton which is surely a piece of junk. An opener should never see a heavy door. The door is counter balanced by the springs and if it is properly installed and maintained a small child can open it. This shouldn't be a factor in your decision at all. |
- Posted by creek_side (My Page) on Mon, Oct 19, 09 at 19:10
That was the first thing I asked. He said no, he was talking about the Liftmaster brand, not the Wayne Dalton I-Drive, or whatever they call it. |
When the Liftmaster 3800 first came out there were a number of problems. It seems now that most of these idosyncrasies' have been worked out. I am the service manager for one of the larger garage door companies and I don't get near the calls now as I did a year ago. Also, we do not install them in doors over 14' high. Alexis |
- Posted by creek_side (My Page) on Tue, Oct 27, 09 at 7:50
Thanks Alexis. That's very useful information. |
I agree. We install the RJO all the time and never have any problems. To be honest, I am still in awe every time we install one. They are incredibly well designed and made and give us no problems at all. You will be happy with it. |

I just got a new computer with Windows7. I have Comcast but use aol for email, etc. Now when I get an email and click on 'reply' to answer, the original email I received is still there and there's only a small space above to start replying. It is really annoying and on my old computer I just got a blank email when I clicked "reply" Does anyone know how I get rid of that original email? Thanks so much |
Follow-Up Postings:
Look in the email tool bar for options, there should be an option to include message in reply or words like that. Check or uncheck it. That option for me is in the send section. |
I was trying to go to "tools" and for whatever reason it's not on the aol site anymore. I have no idea why! But thanks for trying and answering. |
- Posted by acraftylady (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 21:39
Are you using the aol program for email or online at aol.com? I haven't used the aol program for years and use aol email with my desktop mail program but occasionally I log in at aol.com if that's where you are having the problem. Mary |
Yes, I do use aol for just about everything and have it as my homepage. Comcast is my provider though, but I've always preferred aol and use the free one. I think I searched just about everywhere to solve this email problem but I can't find anywhere to get rid of it. It wasn't a problem in the past with Windows XP and aol. |

I'm not clear on whether you have any AOL software installed on your computer or not. If so, that might explain the difference you're seeing. Did you have software installed on your last computer but are you now using the web interface only ? Or have you been using the webmail interface all along ? And, pardon my curiosity... what is it that annoys you about the inclusion of the original message ? Is it the fact that it's there at all ? In that case, you'll have to manually remove the original message each time (see link in last paragraph below) or use a desktop client which can be set NOT to include the original when replying. Or is the annoyance just that the original message is so close to the first line of your reply ? If this is the case, you could do what I do: just hold the "Enter" button down for a few seconds to push the original message down the screen a bit and give you more 'breathing room' for your reply. :-) This answer in their Mail help states that the "include original message with reply" approach is pretty much the only option they give you. (See their "note" at the bottom of that article.) If you don't like it being there, they make you manually remove it. Not very user-friendly, that. :-( |
This post was edited by not2bright on Sat, Jun 22, 13 at 7:45
You could highlight the offending text and remove it with the DELETE key, or you could hit ENTER a few times and the quoted text will move down the page allowing you some more room. I've looked thru the AOL Webmail settings and did not find a way to disable the auto-quote when replying to a message. I still have AOL v9.0 installed (though I don't use it much) and it can be set to disable the auto-quote. If this doesn't suit you & you are still bothered by AOL's Webmail, you could install an email client (a program whose primary function is to send/receive mail) and link it with your AOL account. Then you could change any settings at your discretion. The link below is just one example. You may already have Windows Live Mail installed. The setup would be similar but the instructions may be slightly different. |
Here is a link that might be useful: AOL & Thunderbird
I have been thinking about what you posted in the orig post. Mine does the same thing, but I just hit enter two or three times and the message I am replying to moves down. I like it that way so I can refer to the orig message to see if there was anything I wanted to comment on. Before I hit send I high light and delete the message below. |
Thanks so much, everyone, for all the answers. You've really helped me a lot. Yes, deleting the original email manually works well, even if it is an extra step, and I'm really happy to find a way to move the original down a little. As someone mentioned, it is really annoying me as it's so close to where I want to write. So I'll try clicking on the "enter" button. Good advice! I guess, as someone mentioned, there is just no way now to get the messages permanently gone. But all your advice will really help me out. Thanks again. |
Here I am again and here's a stupid question. I was going to press "enter" as people suggested and I don't see any "enter" button. Where is it? (Remember this is a new computer and I'm soooo lost!) Thanks |
- Posted by acraftylady (My Page) on Sat, Jun 22, 13 at 9:40
Yes it's not clear if you have the actual AOL program installed or if you are accessing mail from aol.com. As said at aol.com there is no way to disable auto quote but in the program you can disable auto quote. I have haven't had the program on here for years. No need for it since I have high speed. Didn't want to loose my address I have had all these years so I find it much easier to use a mail program on my desktop and phone for my aol mail. The one thing I hate is if I do need to access my mail from aol.com on a mobile device they don't let you attach anything and that annoys me to no end and I dont understand why they would disable that so you are pretty much forced to use a mail program on mobile devices for aol.

When you select "Reply" the original message will drop down -- leaving a space for you to key new info as your response. You can also select any or all of the original email (from the sender) by right clicking and delete it with delete key. When you are satisfied with the reply (leaving any or none of the original email) hitting send will take care of your response. The original email that you received remains intact. It can be deleted or left saved as with any received email. It has not changed. |
If you have a standard keyboard, ENTER is probably right next to the number 3 on the far right side. There is also an ENTER key not far to the right of the letter L. Both should be labeled. A laptop or a non-standard keyboard may be different. |
Thanks, I feel like an idiot. I was busy looking for "enter" on the email and never thought it just meant the enter key on the kepboard. |
Remember too that in a business environment the original message can be important so the person knows what is being replied to, especially in a busy office with lots of emails moving back and forth. |

Race/Ethnicity/Color Discrimination - What Supervisors Need to Know
Excerpts taken from The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission "Training and Technical Assistance Program 2002" and online at http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/qanda.html Q & A: Race/Ethnicity/Color - What Practices Are Discriminatory? Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It is illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including:
Key Points to Remember
Facts About Race/Ethnicity/Color Discrimination Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects individuals against employment discrimination on the basis of race and color as well as national origin, sex, or religion. It is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her race or color in regard to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. Title VII also prohibits employment decisions based on stereotypes an assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance of individuals of certain racial groups. Title VII prohibits both intentional discrimination and neutral job policies that disproportionately exclude minorities and that are not job related. Equal employment opportunity cannot be denied because of marriage to or association with an individual or a different race; membership in or association with ethnic based organizations or groups; or attendance or participation in schools or places of worship generally associated with certain minority groups. Race-Related Characteristics and Conditions Discrimination on the basis of an immutable characteristic associated with race, such as skin color, hair texture, or certain facial features violates Title VII, even though not all members of the race share the same characteristic. Title VII also prohibits discrimination on the basis of a condition which predominately affects one race unless the practice is job related and consistent with business necessity. For example, since sickle cell anemia predominately occurs in African-Americans, a policy which excludes individuals with sickle cell anemia must be job related and consistent with business necessity. Similarly, a "no-beard" employment policy may discriminate against African-American men who have a predisposition to pseudofolliculitis barbae (severe shaving bumps) unless the policy is job related and consistent with business necessity. Harassment Harassment on the basis of race and/or color violates Title VII. Ethnic slurs, racial "jokes", offensive or derogatory comments, or other verbal or physical conduct based on an individual's race/color constitutes unlawful harassment if the conduct creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment, or interferes with the individual's work performance. Segregation and Classification of Employees Title VII is violated where minority employees are segregated by physically isolating them from other employees or from customer contact. Title VII also prohibits assigning primarily minorities to predominately minority establishments or geographic areas. It is also illegal to exclude minorities from certain positions or to group or categorize employees or jobs so that certain jobs are generally held by minorities. Coding applications/resumes to designate an applicant's race, by either an employer or employment agency, constitutes evidence of discrimination where minorities are excluded from employment or from certain positions. Pre-Employment Inquiries Requesting pre-employment information which discloses or tends to disclose an applicant's race suggests that race will be unlawfully used as a basis for hiring. Solicitation of such pre-employment information is presumed to be used as a basis for making selection decisions. Therefore, if members of minority groups are excluded from employment, the request for such pre-employment information would likely constitute evidence of discrimination. However, employers may legitimately need information about their employees' or applicants' race for affirmative action purposes and/or to track applicant flow. One way to obtain racial information and simultaneously guard against discriminatory selection is for employers to use "tear-off sheets" for the identification of an applicant's race. After the applicant completes the application and the tear-off portion, the employer separates the tear-off sheet from the application and does not us it in the selection process. Racial Stereotyping, Subtle Racial Bias, and Code Words In the prototypical case, race discrimination occur when an employers rejects a member of one racial group in favor of a member of a different racial group. Thus, if an employer refuses to hire an African-American applicant because of his race and, in his place, hires a White applicant, that employer violates Title VII. Race discrimination, however, can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Discrimination is often the product of invidious stereotypes. In some cases, those stereotypes extend to all members of a disfavored group, tainting the employment prospects of any member of that group. In other cases, however, the stereotype draws a distinction between or among members of the protected group. In such a case, an employer, operating from the stereotype, may select one member of the protected group in lieu of a member of that same group. Such "intragroup" discrimination is unlawful under Title VII.
If race plays a role in the decision-making process, the employment decision is the product of impermissible race discrimination, regardless of whether the decision-maker holds explicitly discriminatory attitudes about members of the protected racial group. In fact, racial attitudes can infect employment decisions even where the decision-makers are members fo the same racial group as the aggrieved employee.
Intersectional Discrimination Intersectional discrimination is discrimination based on a combination of two or more prohibited bases. In intersectional cases, the discrimination adversely affects individuals who are members of two or more protected categories precisely because they belong to the two categories (e.g. race and gender, color and gender, color and disability, race and age, gender and age, etc.). The discrimination is premised on the combination of protected characteristics rather than any one of them alone. Take the example of a race and gender claim brought by an Asian-American woman. The woman alleges that she was not hired for a sales position. The claim is not defeated by showing that the employer does not discriminate against women and/or Asian-Americans generally. Rather, the question is whether the employer discriminates against those who are both female and Asian-American. Using the example, the Asian-American woman may have been subjected to stereotypes and targeted for discrimination not because she's a woman or Asian-American, but rather, because she's an Asian-American woman who was perceived as too meek for the sales position. Intersectional discrimination often arises out of stereotyping specific to particular intersected groups, such as women of color, African-American men and racial minorities with disabilities. It is important to keep in mind that intersectional discrimination is different from discrimination based on multiple prohibited factors. Multiple discrimination involves the allegation of independent claims of discrimination on each of two or more prohibited bases. For example, an employer may have a promotion policy which disproportionately excludes both women (of all races) and African-Americans. In such a scenario, and African-American woman could bring multiple claims of discrimination alleging both race and gender discrimination independently. This differs from the intersectional discrimination where the individual asserts a single claim that the employer has taken some adverse action based on the combination of prohibited characteristics. |

Deceived: Star Wars (The Old Republic) (eBook)
Deceived: Star Wars (The Old Republic) (eBook)
The second novel set in the Old Republic era and based on the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars®: The Old Republic™ ramps up the action and brings readers face-to-face for the first time with a Sith warrior to rival the most sinister of the Order's Dark Lords—Darth Malgus, the mysterious, masked Sith of the wildly popular "Deceived" and "Hope" game trailers.
Malgus brought down the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in a brutal assault that shocked the galaxy. But if war crowned him the darkest of Sith heroes, peace would transform him into something far more heinous—something Malgus would never want to be, but cannot stop, any more than he can stop the rogue Jedi fast approaching.
Her name is Aryn Leneer—and the lone Knight that Malgus cut down in the fierce battle for the Jedi Temple was her Master. And now she's going to find out what happened to him, even if it means breaking every rule in the book.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
