The big one: Trip report!!*NOW WITH PICTURES! POST #69*
Well, here it is...Our big trip! We are just under three months out...or just over two months out, however you want to look at it. I'm going to try and kill the time by writing a pre-trip report. Even if nobody cares to follow along, it will be a nice way to journal our long-awaited extended-family vacation.
Part 1: The Cast My dad and mom...the BEST parents ever. They are 64 and 60 respectively. Dad is one year away from retiring from his 40+ year career as a computer programmer. Mom is a lymphoma survivor who was forced into an early "retirement" from nursing 20 years ago when the chemotherapy knocked out 50% of her lung function. She is currently doing fine, but does have frequent respiratory infections due to her fragile lungs. They have been to WDW 6 times, most recently in 2010. Me (37) and my DH (43) and our two daughters, ages 8 and 6 currently. We have been DVC members since 2008 and this will be the fifth visit for our children. DH is not a Disney fan but he comes along anyways...and would never admit that he actually has fun when he is there. My brother (35) and his wife (35) and their three children...DD10...DS8...and DD7. My brother's last trip was in 1988 when our parents took us as kids. His wife took her first trip in October 2011 with me as an information-gathering excursion. This will be the first trip for their kids. My sister (33) and her husband (36) and their two daughters, ages 3 and 5 months (currently). My sister's last trip was also in 1988 and neither her husband or kids have ever gone. So, in case you lost count, that is a total of 15 people, ranging in age from 5 months to 64 years old. Dad and mom are paying for EVERYONE! ...up next...Part 2: You're Planning HOW Far Ahead??

Part 2: You're Planning HOW Far Ahead??!!
The seed for this trip was planted over 11 years ago, in February 2001. I wanted to take a trip to WDW as a "grown-up". My only requirement was that I was going to stay on-site since I had never done that as a child. DH and I (engaged at the time, not yet married) thought it would be a nice bonding experience if we invited my parents to drive down to Florida with us. From a practical perspective, it was the prudent thing to do. We split the gas and lodging costs en route and we were also able to split up the driving between the four of us. It proved to be quite an adventure! Our first night on the road, we put the 4 of us into a Best Western that we affectionately dubbed "The Dive". I thought it would be a great bargain ($40 for the night, split in half, made it $20 per couple) but not so much. There was no heat when we arrived (in February) and the "free breakfast" was a bag of powdered donut holes set out on the lobby table in the morning. We only needed the room for about 8 hours to sleep so we dealt with it. After we'd been asleep for about 3 hours (fully clothed, jackets and all), we awoke to find that the heat had kicked in. If felt like we'd gone to bed in Canada and woke up in Cancun. After we stopped laughing at the irony of the situation and changed into appropriate bed clothes, we tried to snag a few more hours of sleep before heading out again. The next night was a step up. We stayed at a Country Inn & Suites in Lake City, FL. It was so nice, compared to the dive, but we noticed a lot of construction supplies. We asked what that was all about and the front desk staff told us that the hotel had just opened....the day before! Ok, trust me, I have a point to all of this ... We arrived in WDW and drove to our resort of choice...Old Key West. I thought it was a great bargain! A 2BR villa for "only" $429 a night. Since I was budgeting for $250 a night for our half, this fit my budget perfectly. (*This is also where I learned my lesson to do more research before I travel) We were completely surprised by the sheer size of the villa. It was amazing! Of course, it wasn't going to take too much to impress us after "The Dive". Up until that trip, we'd never even heard of the Disney Vacation Club. Now, here we were, staying at the first DVC resort and not even realizing it. We actually sat through the DVC tour too and they comped us a lunch at Big River Brewing. We were intrigued by the DVC pitch, but with a wedding and hopefully children on the horizon, we decided not to purchase at that time. (*BEST DECISION EVER*) We loved our first onsite stay and dad said he would never stay off-site again. On the drive back home, dad made a mention that he would love to take the entire family there someday. At the time, only my brother was married so the "entire family" was only a total of 7 people at the time. In 2007, I rented DVC points for the first time from a fellow Michigander. My dad was intrigued by the process when I told him how much money I'd saved. I found out that the person I'd rented from was more than willing to transfer the points we'd need for our entire family. That was when my dad decided that in 2012, he was going to treat the entire family to a WDW vacation at Old Key West resort. Let the planning begin!! The first decision to tackle? When are we going to go? Although we all live within 15 miles of each other, our kids are in different schools. The main consensus was that we wanted to avoid taking anyone out of school. Christmas was immediately off the table since nobody was interested in tackling the crowds, especially the first-time visitors. The first suggestion was spring break. Unfortunately, we could not be sure that everyone would have spring break at the same time. The second suggestion was missing a little school and going in February over mid-winter break. This corresponds with President's Day. My dad was really pushing for this option since he likes the weather in February. Unfortunately, one of the schools involved cancels their mid-winter break if they accumulate too many snow days. I also pointed out that we'd have a legitimate risk of weather-related travel delays which could prove financially catastrophic if 15 people got stranded. So, we decided on June. We would have preferred early June, but again, when the dates had to be finalized, we didn't know the exact days that everyone would be breaking for the year. As it turns out, June is the perfect time for our celebration. My parents have their 40th wedding anniversary on June 30. Then there are the birthdays... nephew turns 9 on June 12...my daughter turns 9 on June 23...AND my niece turns 4 on June 23...and my brother's wife turns "29" on June 25. We settled on June 16-23, 2012. Dad had his heart set on OKW. Initially, he'd dreamed of a grand villa. The family quickly grew and he realized that two 2BR's would be cheaper and more practical. We now have two 2BR's booked for 7 nights (cash-points-cash) and hopefully, it will all be correct when we arrive. That is how this trip was born....stay tuned... ....up next: Part 3: How are we going to get 15 people to Orlando?

What a great story! Don't forget . . . Father's Day is on June 17th!!
I grew up in Michigan, but now live in Indiana. I wish the Michigan schools got out before June, like here in Indiana. We have some friends in Michigan who are teachers and have a 7 yo and we would like to take them to our "second home" sometime. I just wish we could do it in early June when the point values are lower. Of course, our schools start by mid-August, so we can't take advantage of the lower point values at the end of August, as you can. Looking forward to the rest of your report!

I think we may have tried to stay at "your" Best Western. We were also lured in by a low rate. However, it being summer, we were scared off by the enormous COCKROACH on the pillow.
Looking forward to more! |

Part 3: How are we going to get 15 people to Orlando?
Dad knew right off the bat that flying is the ONLY option. Although we have driven before, it just was not a good option for this trip. The working budget was $500 per person for airfare, or $7000 total. (At the time, the baby was not yet in the picture so he was planning for 14) I thought that was WAY too much, but better to over-estimate than under-estimate. We live in West Michigan and the most remote family is about 30 minutes from the Grand Rapids airport. Historically, the major carriers have not offered non-stop flights to Orlando and the average price has been in the $300-$350 price range. When AirTran came to Grand Rapids, I was thrilled. My family of four had already made the drive to Detroit (twice) just to fly AirTran, and it saved us about $400 each time. Even though I did not have a trip planned, I began to watch the AirTran flights from Grand Rapids to Orlando. The lowest I ever saw was $92 one-way on the non-stop option. When the time rolled around and our flight dates were released (in early November 2011), the non-stop flight was listed at over $350. We tried calling AirTran directly and talking to their group sales division. They quoted us the same price so there was no advantage to booking at $350. My dad thought about it, but I told him to wait a few weeks because I thought we could do better than $175 each way. The lowest I saw it drop was down to $96 for the flight down...but it was still over $150 for the return. The other issue was that there is only one non-stop option from Grand Rapids and it departs at 7:15am. I know, most people would love to get to the resort by 11am, but not me. At first, my dad really liked the idea...until I pointed out a few disadvantages. First, the kids (and me, a career third-shifter) would have to be up by 4am so that we could be to the airport by 5:30am at the latest. Then, we'd have the flight and DME ride...that's no big deal, we'd all be excited. Then, we'd arrive at OKW around 11am, only to find out that our room won't be ready for 5 more hours. I am fairly certain that the younger children, particularly the baby, would like to rest and nap. Well, we'd just hang out by the pool, right? Maybe...but in the middle of the day in the middle of JUNE!? It could be sweltering (not good for the baby, or anyone) or it could be thunderstorming so then what? This led us to look at Detroit. The flight times were much better for the non-stop options, plus there are two non-stops to choose from. The morning non-stop leaves at 11:30am and the return departs at 4:15pm, landing around 7pm. We'd prefer a little bit earlier return, but not the 10:30am option. We also found the prices to be a lot cheaper from Detroit. I also convinced him that getting a seat for the baby would be the safest option and that he was going to be way under his budgeted amount anyways. He agreed so we began looking for 15 seats. In order to take advantage of the "fare buckets", I told my dad to book each family separately. I also told him to BUY THE SEAT ASSIGNMENTS!!! He agreed and even booked the "premium" seats at the front of the coach section. The total cost for all 15 seats, including the seat assignment fees, came to $3650. Just for reference, the cost for the flight out of Grand Rapids would have been about $3700, without the seat assignments. Now, we have flights out of Detroit....a three-hour drive from home. Luckily, I have experience with this scenario, as I have done it before. Since our flight is scheduled for 11:30am, we are going to drive over the night before. That way, traffic backups or any other unforeseen delay should not cause us to miss our flight. ( I was involved in an accident on the way to board our dogs before our first trip. If I hadn't added time into our itinerary to have a sit-down breakfast, we would have missed our flight. Instead, we had to eat on the run.) We booked three rooms at the SpringHill Suites, using the park and fly rate. The suites sleep up to 6 people so even my brother's family of 5 can be accomodated in one room. My family has a Suburban so we offered to drive my parents to Detroit so that we will only need the parking for three vehicles. Dad booked a king-bed room for him and mom. It was about $450 for the 4 rooms, which includes parking for 8 days! Since my parents are the best in the world (did I mention that already?), they have offered to give each family a $100 gift card for gas to drive to and from Detroit. They have also offered to pay for a hotel room for anyone that wants to spend the night upon our return so that we don't have to drive home after a 2.5 hour flight. So far, everyone is just planning on driving straight home. We'll see if that changes... Let me catch you up here... We are all leaving on FRIDAY, June 15, and driving to the SpringHill Suites in Detroit. Then, the next morning, we will all be flying AirTran, non-stop to Orlando at 11:30am. The next thing that we hope to add to our flight is the business-class upgrade. Airtran offers an upgrade to business class for $69 each way but you can only purchase it 24 hours or less before your flight. The upgrade entitles you to 2 free checked bags, priority boarding and free snacks and beverages, including alcohol. I've done this for every flight I've been on to Orlando and I highly recommend it. Since there are only 12 business-class seats, we cannot all get the upgrade. Dad decided that he will try to upgrade two families on the way down and two families on the way back, if possible. On the way home, there are already 3 of the 12 BC seats booked so that means our chances are less. We're keeping our fingers crossed. We're mostly interested in the upgrade so that all of our checked luggage will be included. As of now, it looks like we will have a total of 6-8 checked bags. Those who are upgraded will check the bags and the others will stick to carryons. Even if we can only get one family upgraded, we should be covered. When we get to Orlando, it is Disney transportation for the rest of the week.......... There's no sense in having multiple rental cars since we have no intention of leaving WDW property. The bus system is not perfect, but it is a much better alternative considering how much $$$ it would cost to rent vehicles. That's it for this installment... ...Up next: Part 4: Dining Without a Plan for 7 Days with 15 People...!

We are arriving the 16th...four adults, two children...first night in a two bedroom at Bay Lake Towers, then we move to OKW on the 17th, in a two bedroom by HH until the 23rd. We did a grand gathering last year, in a GV, 7 adults, 4 children. Was wonderful. We ate breakfast most times in the Villa, and had table service together once a day. We'll be on the look out for your family. You got a great deal on airfares...we are paying $300+ a ticket.

Nice start to your PTR. As a GVSU alumna who flew a lot .... going to Detroit is really the best, and its great that you get a relaxing start to your trip going to a hotel even before you fly! Would not want to drive to DTW then hop on a plane, especially since I remember the two seasons in Michigan: winter and road construction!
DH keeps eyeing the GVs since they look so beautiful, but always come back to the reality of how much farther points go with the 2 bedrooms. Sounds like y'all have made some great choices and are ready to go! Can't wait to hear about your ADR's (or lack thereof).

Part 4: Dining for 15...without a plan!
Let me clarify...we do not have a DINING plan. When this trip was in it's "research and development" phase, my dad wanted to get the Deluxe DDP for everyone. He figured that would be the easiest way for every family to get their three meals a day. He changed his tune in 2010 when he came with us to AKV. We did the DxDDP for 2 nights and he was able to experience first-hand how much food it is. I tried to warn him... Since DVC did away with the segmenting of the reservations, we had to decide between going with a DDP or skipping it altogether. One of my dad's main concerns with this trip is making sure that everybody gets the most out of it as possible without completely breaking the bank. Dining at WDW is such a big part of the vacation expeirence so dad wanted to make sure that everybody could eat a sit-down meal every day, if they so desired. We crunched the numbers and came to the conclusion that the DDP would not make a lot of sense for our family. Thus, dad created our own dining plan. DSiL and I went to WDW in October and bought AP's. Dad gave us each $300 towards the cost since that is what he spent on the 6-day PH's for the others. I bought a TIW card in October and DSiL is planning on buying one when we arrive in June. These cards will be used extensively as you will soon see. Dad even reimbursed me for half the cost of my card and he is paying for half of my DSiL's card too. For the most part, we are going to one park each day for the first four days of our trip. We don't plan on being together all day, every day, but we do want to meet up for dinner. I made our reservations at the 180-day mark. I think I made some online and then went over to my dad's house to make the rest over the phone. So, without further ado....here they are... Arrival night (Saturday) 6pm dinner for all of us at T-Rex ...more on this later... Sunday: Epcot Day (Sunday...Father's Day) 5:20pm dinner at Garden Grill for the entire family...except our family of 4... ...we *have* to eat at LeCellier (5:50pm) for dinner Monday: Hollywood Studios Day Dad is treating the entire group to the Fantasmic "Dinner" Package at Mama Melrose's. I put "dinner" in quotes because the latest "dinner" we could get is at 3:30pm. I told my dad to try calling back inside of 30 days in case a later time opens up. Fantasmic isn't until 9pm that night so 3:30pm for dinner is rather early. UPDATE: We opted to book a lunch ADR at 1:20pm. This way, there will be time for the young and restless to head back to the room after lunch for a nap or brief swim. Tuesday: Animal Kingdom Day Everyone is splitting up today! My parents and sister's family chose Tusker House for dinner at 6pm. My brother's family chose Yak N Yeti for dinner, also at 6pm. My family has to have our traditional meal at Boma at 6:25pm. Wednesday: Magic Kingdom Day We are sending mom and dad to the 5:15pm Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show for their anniversary present. The kids bought them Cat 1 seats so we're hoping they get a great view. While they are enjoying their luau, the remaining 13 of us have a 5:00pm dinner at O'Hana. Thursday: Open Day My sister's family is going to Akershus for an 11am breakfast with the princesses. My sister-in-law really wanted to try the Coral Reef so they are eating there at noon. My dad loves the 50's Prime Time Cafe and he wanted to squeeze that one in somewhere. My kids love that one too so we are going to eat lunch with them at 12:05pm. Friday: Last Full Day We are closing out the trip with a 5:45pm dinner for all of us at Chef Mickey's. My dad is elated that the MK has EMH that night and he wants to stay until 1am. I think he is going to be napping before dinner. I really wish that they would open the TOTWL to all DVC members and their guests because I think it would be so neat to close out our family trip by watching Wishes from the roof...but I digress... Saturday: Time to leave... As of now, we have a breakfast booked at Olivia's for all of us at 10am. This is still up in the air because we have ordered groceries that are mostly breakfast foods. If we have a lot left over, we'll just eat in the room before checkout. OTOH, it is my daughter's 9th birthday and my niece's 4th birthday...oh, and my niece's name is OLIVIA! It almost seems like we *have* to eat there. We'd like to do something special for the birthday girls ON their birthday (besides subject them to 8 hours of travel) but we will be working with a limited timeframe. My mom is making birthday cupcakes but since I'm fairly certain the restaurant will not let us bring them with us, we'll probably have a little make-shift "party" by the pool. Our flight is scheduled to depart at 4:15pm so I'm planning a DME pickup time of about 1pm. I figure we'll have at least an hour to enjoy the pool, which would still give us another hour to change, re-pack the swimsuits and ready ourselves for the DME bus. Getting back to dad's dining plan (our version of a "DDP")... Each adult has been allotted $50/day for 5 days and each child has been allotted $25/day. Dad based it on 5 days because he is paying for two dinners for the group (Mama Melrose's and Chef Mickey's). He is also paying for the grocery order which includes most of the food we will need for breakfast. Mom has "The Box" packed in her basement, ready to be shipped. She has cereal, pop-tarts, granola bars, trail mix, pancake mix, syrup, and a whole bunch of stuff for the baby, all ready to go. They paid for all of that stuff too since they really wanted to make sure that everything was covered. After purchasing gift cards for each family, dad realized that my oldest niece is 10 and considered an "adult" for dining purpose, but he counted her as a child in his calculations. He decided to adjust their family's dining allowance by an extra $50. Dad is awesome (have I mentioned that already?) and when he looked at the T-Rex menu and that we were all eating there together, he had a concern. He said that he didn't want everyone's dining budget to take a huge hit on our first meal. So, he decided to give each family $10 per adult and $5 per child towards the cost of their T-Rex meal. (In case you weren't paying attention, my family's "first" meal will be at LeCellier...for dinner...THAT will make a dent) I went through everyone's table-service meals and gave them a rough estimate of how much they would have left to cover any of their other meals and/or snacks. Each family will have about $200 left over for their snacks, beverages and counter-service meals. So there you have it...7 days of dining for 15 people. We leave in 7 weeks and 4 days! Up next...Part 5: Packing and Other Pre-Trip Tasks (It might be a while until the next update now that Spring Break is over and there is a LOT of stuff coming up on the kids' schedules)

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband. | 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. |
7 And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together. | 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. |
8 And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God. | 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. |
9 And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you? | 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" |
10 And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes. | 10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." |
11 And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take? | 11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" |
12 And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it. | 12 The man said, "The woman you put here with me--she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." |
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it. | 13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." |
14 And the Lord God said to the snake, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life: | 14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. |
15 And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded. | 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." |
16 To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master. | 16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." |
17 And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life. | 17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. |
18 Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food; | 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. |
19 With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back. | 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." |
20 And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life. | 20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. |
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins for their clothing. | 21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. |
22 And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever. | 22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." |
23 So the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to be a worker on the earth from which he was taken. | 23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. |
24 So he sent the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he put winged ones and a flaming sword turning every way to keep the way to the tree of life. | 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. |

Nicki Minaj – Your Love/Check It Out (feat. will.i.am) 2010 VMA Pre-Show Live
Will.i.am Slammed for Blackface VMA Performance
When Black Eyed Peas bandleader Will.i.am joined Nicki Minaj during the VMA pre-show Sunday, outraged fans slammed the 35-year-old rapper for appearing in blackface.
"Will.i.am. wearing blackface!? What a racist!" fakeart123 tweeted.
Adds TSCMoncton, "Anyone notice that Will.i.am painted himself in blackface? I sure hope there's some kind of meaning behind a stunt like that."
Blackface — which first gained popularity during the 19th century — typically promotes racist stereotypes toward African Americans.
In addition to his face paint, Will.i.am wore head-to-toe black (including a shiny hair piece in the shape of a side-mohawk).
"Will.i.am just sent us back 1,000 yrs… Really sir, #Blackface in front the grey ppl!" IAm_Danie wrote of his appearance.
Snipes FrankieVtotheD, "And what the hell is going on with Will.i.am? Did he take a dip in the Gulf before the show? I didn't know blackface was back in style."

text: I prefer to use a crockpot for the cannabutter. it simmers it at a good temp (on low) for a long period of time (I usually do overnight, so about 8-10 hours) stir occasionally to make sure it doesnt get burned. Then, wake up, tend to it and strain (I use a cheesecloth, it seems to be the best method) after that, pop it into a bowl or butter container (it may vary in color, ive heard different things but mine is usually a slight green color) and let it chill and harden. Voila! I use an ounce of usually shake bud as it works well in potency either way and makes for a good quantity I use the butter in sweets, sauteing button/portabella mushrooms, anything really! The taste is not that different - as a matter of fact, try making snickerdoodles! The cream of tartar balances out the canna taste and you get a deliciously potent treat! Super relaxing as well!good luck1 it's a learning process to perfect what you prefer!

Retire Colt McCoy's Jersey Number
Colt McCoy may not have won the National Championship like Vince did but he is the all time winningest quarterback in Texas history.. Wait in college football history. He was 3-1 against hated rival Oklahoma,3-1 in bowl games including a Fiesta bowl win,and a 2 time Walter Camp award and Big 12 offensive player of the year award winner along with numerous other awards and 10 UT records along with 4 NCAA records.. His number should be retired because he may not have legendary status but he is definetly a hero to all UT fans across this country. Colt you will be missed and last but not least... Hook 'Em Horns

Financial help For Single Mothers In New Jersey
Financial help can be obtained by single mothers in New Jersey by applying for various government assistance programs offered in the state. If you are struggling to make ends meet, these assistance programs can be a lifesaver, cutting down the burden of expenses. Assistance programs in NJ can help a single mother with free food items, rent, heating bills and housing, among others. Read on to know details about these programs:
Financial assistance for Single Moms in New Jersey:
1. Cash assistance in NJ:
Families with dependent children can apply for cash assistance at one of the local welfare offices. The assistance program is named "WorkFirst" in NJ, and is arguably the most helpful to needy families. When you are struggling to get back on track, and financial problems compound the issues, cash benefits will be of huge help. Note that the adult in the household needs to be attending job training, going to school or working in order to be eligible for receiving the benefits. Having this requirement in place ensures that beneficiaries of cash assistance are working towards rebuilding their finance and getting off welfare.
To apply, visit the welfare office and get an application form. Documents will also be required to be submitted along with completely filled application.
Assistance for individuals and families with no dependent children:
Not all states provide cash benefits to families with no dependent children. New Jersey is one of just a few states that offers cash assistance to individuals. If you are an individual looking for this welfare benefit, inquire about the "general assistance" program in a welfare agency nearby. For more information on the same, read the page here
2. Not able to afford child care? Get child care assistance:
If you are not able to afford quality child care service for your children, finding or keeping work can be hard. Fortunately, you can make use of child care assistance offered in NJ to overcome this hurdle. Those needing financial help with daycare expenses will be offered assistance with a large part of the same. Rest of the daycare payment which does not get covered by assistance has to be made by you as a co-payment to the childcare provider. Note that apart from the daycare centers, family daycare homes can also participate in this program. You can choose from a range of daycare providers by yourself or get assistance from the "childcare resource and referral" agency to choose one.
To apply for subsidy, contact the nearest childcare resource and referral agency. Contact details are given here
3. Getting free food items from retailers:
If you are finding it hard to buy nutritious food for you and your kids, make use of the food assistance program. EBT cards are now given instead of the food stamps, and it can be used to buy food at participating stores. Previously called the food stamps, the program is now referred to as the "SNAP". The card approved families receive will work just like a debit card, and the welfare benefits will be credited to the account. As for the requirements to get qualified, keep in mind that the following factors come into play – income,family size and assets. You can apply for food assistance at the welfare agency, along with handing over applications for other forms of assistance. If you need emergency food assistance, look for non profit organizations locally as it will take a few weeks before you receive the EBT card.
To know if you will be eligible to participate, make use of this online tool.
4. Affordable health insurance for you and your children:
If you have not been able to qualify for Medicaid, you can make use of the NJ FamilyCare program that aims to provide affordable health coverage for parents and children. Monthly premiums will be much affordable and you will also be able to get good coverage for you and your family. To know the exact income requirements and the program cost, refer to the chart - chart link
5. Rental assistance:
If you are finding it difficult to pay the rent, get help through the section 8 housing voucher program. Section 8 helps with paying part of the rent while the rest has to be funded by yourself. The amount of rental assistance you get offered by the housing agency – which administers this program – will depend on the family size and income. Another way to get safe housing is to resort to public housing. To apply for these programs, visit the local public housing agency in your area.

Will the Beijing Olympics Bring about "One World, One Dream"?
Susan Brownell was a nationally-ranked track and field athlete in the U.S. before she went to China for a year of language study, joined the track team at Beijing University, and won the heptathlon in the 1986 Chinese National College Games. This experience was the basis for her seminal work on China's sports, Training the Body for China: Sports in the Moral Order of the People's Republic. Currently as Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, she was invited to give a lecture on "China and the Olympic Games: 'One World, One Dream'?" at the China and the World Speaker Series on 30 November 2006.
As China – "the least Westernized nation" in the world yet to host the Olympic Games – aims to promote the vision of "One World, One Dream" by hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, Brownell asked, "Does the Beijing Olympics really manifest a single, shared dream? Is China's dream really shared by the West?" If the Olympic Games are only a one-way process in which China learns from the West, she went on to argue, then the cultural exchange will not be truly mutual. So will any knowledge flow in the other direction? In her view, China is facing real obstacles to achieve the goal of the "Humanistic Olympics," which, as one of the three themes of the Beijing Olympics, aims to contribute Chinese culture to global culture. At home, it is not clear what aspects of rich Chinese cultural heritages China wants to present to the global audience. In the outside world, it is even more obscure whether the West is really open to learning something new from China. Yet, Brownell argued that "a true shift in the global order will have occurred only when China no longer defines itself through the eyes of the West and Japan."

Shirley, I can be hostess in March instead of April if you want. That would give you some time to find another person for April. I think my ability to post on GardenWeb is improving. I've had a really bad time with it lately. Anyway, send me an e-mail message or post here and let me know. Jeanne I haven't heard from Shirley yet, ladies. If someone else wants to take March, post here and I'm sure that will be fine. Otherwise I will wait to hear from Shirley or Carol. |

Pets Can be Therapists, Promote Healing
Posted: Mar 05 2009
Originally published March 6th, 2007
I think most dog owners would agree with this article: Pets Can Be Therapists. The article discusses how, as many have claimed, pets are great for a person's mental and physical health: "We usually talk about ways that we can take care of our pets, but our pets can take care of us. Pets improve the lives of their humans in so many ways. Pets are very good for our emotional and physical health. Taking care of a companion animal gives us a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Because our pets rely on us to keep them safe, happy and healthy, someone who is beginning to show signs of depression or loneliness is often brought back to life by the responsibility of pet guardianship."

Many more people surfing the web while behind the wheel
If you think texting while driving is dangerous, then you may be shocked to learn that many people do more than just text while driving, they actually browse the web while behind the wheel, and the number of people who do it is on the rise.
A USA Today report cites a study that recently polled nearly 4,000 drivers from the age of 18 and older. The study discovered an alarming amount of people surfing the web while driving, which is known as "webbing." Among drivers 18-to-29-years old, 48 per cent admitted to this practice in 2012, up from 29 per cent in 2009.
The trend stems largely from the proliferation and combination of smartphones and social media, even in older age groups. The practice of "webbing" outside of the 18-29 demographic increased from 13 per cent in 2009 to 21 per cent in 2012.
With the popularity of GPS-enabled smartphones, time spent surfing the web while operating a motor vehicle could also be attributed to using a phone's navigation app or researching local businesses while on a trip. Regardless of its purpose, this dangerous practice will likely start getting the same sort of attention from safety groups that texting while driving receives now.

The Package
Kingmax have gone a bit fancy on the package compared to many other companies we see. Considering the $200 US a module Corsair Dominator GTX comes in a brown box, it's nice to see a bit of retail packaging. With the speed and other standard information on the outside of the box, when you open the inside you can see a bit of a blurb about Hercules. Yes, there's more to him than just a TV character.
The Modules
The kit itself looks really nice, not just in a design way, but in the quality of the heatsink. The heatsink is really high quality and feels absolutely fantastic. We can see the Hercules name on each side along with the DDR3-2200 logo. One side also has a little sticker with speed, size and serial number information.

Apple has announced a major milestone for the iOS operating system: 1 billion devices shipped.
CEO Tim Cook says the company reached the milestone on November 22nd: "It was truly a momentous quarter for iOS. On November 22, we shipped our 1 billionth iOS device. It was a space-gray 64-gigabyte iPhone 6 Plus, which we've saved here at Apple. One billion devices is an almost unfathomable milestone and we are all incredibly proud to be a part of it."
The executive added that the company sold about 34,000 iPhones "every hour, 24 hours a day, every day of the quarter" totaling a record 74.5 million when all was said and done. iOS is the operating system of choice for the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad.
Google's Android operating system reached the same milestone last year, as well.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Abby!
Facts about Abby
- Breed: Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Abby's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi my name is Abby! I was born ~July 2012.
I am around 7 lb and I am playful like any other puppy, but I am not super hyper. I am not a barker either.
DRWB rescued me when my previous "family" decided that having a dog was too much of a responsibility... they were going to leave me alone on the streets, but DRWB heard about this and found a foster home for me!
My foster loves me, she is training me to go on a pee pee pad, and I am learning! I live indoors.
I am looking for my forever loving family!
Other Pets at Dog Rescue Without Borders / Rescate Sin Fronteras
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Abby, a San Diego Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Wordle link should be Wordle.net not .com. Great list!
It's the start of a new year and that means there's infinite possibilities that lay before you. But you can't move forward without arming yourself with the best free web tools and apps.
I was perusing some of my favorite education blogs, social networks, and other time-sucking online spots when I came back to the Edublog Awards. I'm proud that Edudemic was nominated for a bunch of awards (didn't win but what can ya do) but more importantly I'm impressed with the amount of effort put forward by the Edublogs team. They've rounded up some of the best education and technology resources on the planet. Then they even orchestrated a worldwide vote! So, kudos to them for sure.
Below is the list of finalists for the best free web tools. It features some all-time favorites (Twitter, Diigo, Wordle) and some less-talked-about tools (KidBlog, Socrative, Google Hangout) too. If you're not using one or two of these tools, why not take this opportunity to try them out?
Find, build and share resources with teachers across the hall or across the world — aligned with Common Core
Improve specific student behaviors and engagement by awarding and recording real-time feedback. Print or email beautiful behavior reports to easily engage parents and staff. Save time by recording behaviors and accomplishments right in class, with just one click: NO extra data entry required.
Diigo provides easy ways to highlight, bookmark, make sticky notes, take notes, save images, and use docs online while you browse. All saved in the cloud so it works on the go / in your classroom!
The big name in cloud storage for consumers. DropBox is free to start and offers a premium upgrade that might be worth the splurge if you're saving videos or lots of images with your classroom and colleagues.
Edmodo provides a safe and easy way for your class to connect and collaborate, share content, and access homework, grades and school notices.
The Evernote family of products help you remember and act upon ideas, projects and experiences across all the computers, phones and tablets you use.
Glogster EDU
Glogster.com – Poster yourself – Make your interactive poster easily and share it with friends. Mix Images, Text, Music and Video. It is fantastic!
Google Apps for Education
Google Apps for Education includes dozens of critical security features specifically designed to keep your data safe, secure and in your control. Your data belongs to you, and Apps tools enable you to control it, including who you share it with and how you share it.
Google Drive
Another Google tool that's free to use and a competitor with DropBox. Except Drive comes with insanely powerful online editing tools for docs, spreadsheets, even presentations. GDrive lets you have a folder on your desktop that syncs with your online storage up in the Google cloud.
Google Hangout
One of the least talked about ways to connect with other classrooms or even your own students and parents. Google+ Hangouts are great Skype alternatives and easier to use, in my opinion.
Kidblog is designed for K-12 teachers who want to provide each student with an individual blog. Students publish posts and participate in academic discussions within a secure classroom blogging community. Teachers maintain complete control over student blogs and user accounts.
LiveBinders is your 3-ring binder for the web, create an online binder for content curation.
A social bookmarking site that needs no introduction. However, you should check out the education section for some inspiring materials and learning opportunities!
Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers by engaging their classrooms with a series of educational exercises and games. Our apps are super simple and take seconds to login. Socrative runs on tablets, smartphones, and laptops.
Create rich images with music, video, sound, text and more. Share and discover deeper stories through images.
Storify helps making sense of what people post on social media. Our users curate the most important voices and turn them into stories.
Connect with educators around the world by using Twitter and the relevant hashtags. We talk about Twitter just about everyday on Edudemic so I won't bore you here with the basics of what it is!
Make a word cloud (like the one you see at the top of this post!) that helps you visualize what you're looking at. It's a fun way to take a new look at a set of text.
The Wordle link should be Wordle.net not .com. Great list!

In a nutshell, I've got 3 planter box for mini gardens that I want to finish so they will last a few years. They are made of treated wood, 1 1/2" thick. They have holes for water to drain, and will house succulent type plants that need very little water and soil that does not have much moisture in it, so will not be soggy but may be rained on occasionally, if very windy. #1: Acrylic decoration painted on raw wood. #2: Need suggestion for substance to cause sand to stick to outside of box. #3: Need suggestion for substance to cause squares of fabric to stick to outside of box, to look like a quilt. The concept I want to exploit is like when you go to a restaurant and the table has pictures or whatever objects decorating it, encased in - plastic? I would like to seal/waterproof all 3 boxes after above-described decorations are complete. Polyurethane? Can I use multiple coats to make it feel smooth? I'm completely stuck, have not done much with wood before. Thanks for reading and any advice/opinions/suggestions! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Anything you apply for sealing is going to mute the surfaces of the "mixed mediums" buried under the sealer. |
- Posted by purpleinopp (My Page) on Sat, Apr 13, 13 at 16:54
Hi, thanks for your reply! I thought polyurethane was clear. I want it to be smooth, like plastic. Not sure by "mute the surfaces" if you're referring to the colors of the decorations or the texture. If the latter, that's a good thing, in line with my goal to use this as a planter box. I did find a blog where a lady did the same thing to an old wood table. Use elmer's glue to adhere fabric, 4 coats of poly. It was very pretty & she said it's easy to wipe clean. |
- Posted by purpleinopp (My Page) on Thu, May 2, 13 at 14:42
Well I have completed 2 "quilted" boxes and the results are great! Muted perfectly describes the effect on the fabric colors, which happened uniformly, and looks fine. I used Elmer's glue to attach the fabric, let dry for a couple days. Then a foam brush to apply polyurethane to the point of saturation, to fabric and all other wood, inside/out. |

Just got mine yesterday,...
Verified Purchase
Just got mine yesterday, and I'm already in love with it. Is it pretty much the
same darn thing as the Midori, to the point of being a "rip-off" of their
design? Yes, obviously it is. In all honesty though, for so long it was nearly
impossible to get the Midori here in the states (unless it's just that I was
just completely inept at searching online, which is totally possible I guess),
that I am not totally surprised that someone attempted to fill that niche. I
have wanted a Midori for so long that I jumped at the opportunity to get
something that is similar. To tell the truth, I had given up on getting a Midori
and only realized that it was more available in the states now after I ordered
this journal and started looking up ways to make DIY inserts. Still, I'm not
unhappy with this purchase. I love my journal. I immediately went out and got a
Rhodia no18 and made a couple of my own inserts out of the paper. They are much
cheaper that way.
The journal itself is beautiful and just feels and looks so beautiful that I just find my fingers itching to use it. I look forward to making this journal my own, and to having it for a long long time. 1 person found this helpful

I'm not really so wild...
Verified Purchase
I'm not really so wild about this one. I don't hate it, but the rattling that
other reviews have mentioned really is annoying. I have also found that this pen
doesn't always start up right away if I haven't used it in a while. I always
have to scribble a little to get it going. Its a shame, because it's a really
nice looking pen. I just don't find it as functional as I had hoped.
December 15, 2010
Beautiful pencil. I definitely...
Verified Purchase
Beautiful pencil. I definitely appreciate the retractable tip. Somehow I wish it
had a bit more heft to it though. It almost feels too light in my hand. Other
than that small thing though, I love it.

It's a pretty basic pen....
It's a pretty basic pen. But it's also my go to red pen for grading. It writes
smoothly, and it starts immediately every time. Plus, the fine point makes it
easy to fit all my feedback on student papers. Solid pen.

This case is freaking...
Verified Purchase
This case is freaking amazing. It can fit everything I possibly need to carry
with me. I'm a teacher, so there are many times when I need to carry a mobile
classroom kit with me, and this case fits the bill perfectly. I love love love
this thing.

This was my first fountain...
This was my first fountain pen and I absolutely love it. I use it with a
Noodler's Bulletproof ink, and it was an awesome introduction to fountain pens.
It leaves a great line and feels super smooth. In over two years of use, it has
never let me down. Just an overall great pen.
June 4, 2010
I've been carrying this...
Verified Purchase
I've been carrying this pen around in my pocket for nearly two weeks now, and I
absolutely love it. It's so handy to have all different writing options in one
slim, professional looking pen. It writes well, and while the refills are
definitely small, I have been using this pen regularly and I haven't been
burning through refills. Admittedly, it's a pricey pen, but if you feel like
treating yourself, I highly recommend this pen.
April 23, 2010
Just got these today...
Verified Purchase
Just got these today and I ended up cutting up a bunch of junk mail that came at
the same time. These are ridiculously cool. So far they seem to cut very well.
They also seem very sturdy and well put together. I look forward to putting them
to use. One of my coworkers and I have a little ongoing contest on who can put
together the coolest pencil case set (yes, we are actually that nerdy) and these
are going to put me in the lead.

I love this pencil case....
Verified Purchase
I love this pencil case. It's small enough that it is easy to carry in my
backpack, but it holds a ton of stuff. I've been looking for the "perfect"
pencil case for a while now (I'm definitely an organization nerd), and this one
pretty much fits the bill. Love it!

Australian Museum Science Festival
Hands-on science activities, talks, shows and workshops for school students at the Museum, in Sydney suburbs and NSW regional locations.
Australia's Biggest Science Festival
The Australian Museum Science Festival (AMSF) aims to bring together different sectors of the scientific community to educate and excite the next generation about science. It achieves this by providing students, teachers and community members the chance to experience hands-on science.
It provides an opportunity for people to talk to scientists from leading institutions, and to discover the future that science can bring through attending expo booths, talks, shows and workshops.
Bookings now open for 2014
- August 12-14: Primary schools
- August 14: NIght Talk: A Life Behind the Lens
- August 16: Community day
- August 19-21: High schools
Are you a primary school teacher? Then you'll love our primary school week running from August 12-14. We're showcasing interactive science workshops such as CSI World, Australia's 1st Scientists, and Plastic Sea Food to name a few. Some of our favourite shows include Dr Rob Bell from Scope's Blown Away by Science show, ANSTO's Fact or Fiction and Liquid Nitrogen Birthday Party. As an added extra, the ever popular live animals in the atrium will give students a hands-on experience with some native Australian wildlife.
On Saturday August 16 we open our doors to the general public for some good old fashioned family fun with our Science Festival Community Day! There is always something to do from experiment stations, balloon animals, face painting to science shows, science workshops, competitions and giveaways. We love nature! So this year we have a strong environmental focus, looking at issue like biosecurity, clean oceans and the importance of gardens at home.
Our high school week runs from August 19-21 and is packed full of science goodness with shows from The Ocean Ambassadors, Three Farm 3D Printing and Great Moments in National Science Week by Dr Karl. We have some mind blowing workshops too such as Forensic Frenzy, Understanding Gravity and Giants of the Past plus many more. Beware, our resident Muttaburrasaurus Winny will be roaming the museum so be on the look out!

Woman on drugs booked for two DUIs in 24 hours, BPD says
Boise PD says Lyndsi Peterson has been charged with two misdemeanor DUIs.
The first charge happened at about 4:30 p.m. June 22 when officers on patrol on the 8100 block of Fairview Avenue Saturday afternoon were flagged down by a citizen concerned about a woman sitting in a car in the parking lot of the retail store.
The citizen told officers he had seen the woman stumbling as she left one of the nearby stores and made her way to her car. Officers found the woman still sitting in the driver's seat of the car with the engine running.
As they tried to speak with Peterson, officers say she moved very slowly, her speech was slurred and appeared to have a hard time understanding what the officers were asking of her. Officers had the woman turn the car off and step out of the car. She failed standard field sobriety tests, police say.
She was later found to be under the influence of pain killers, BPD says and was booked on DUI.
The following day, BPD says they received reports of a driver "all over the road" at 4:38 p.m. who hit a curb and drove on a sidewalk near Fairview and Milwaukee. Officers found her in a parking lot with a flat right front tire. She was later found to be under the influence of a depressant and booked for a second DUI.
