Trip to Washington, D.C.
I spent a week in Washington, D.C., earlier this month meeting and connecting with a number of different university constituencies.
The East-West Center is celebrating its golden anniversary this year, marking 50 years of success in promoting better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the United States, Asia and the Pacific. I had the opportunity to attend its 50th Anniversary Celebration, and I met and spoke with a number of East-West Center and UH alumni at a special event with the UH Alumni Association. It was a great experience to hear from these alumni about their affinity for the university and their ideas for how we can continue to engage them.

ANYONE promoting the sale of artificial tax avoidance schemes could be compelled to disclose their clients to the taxman, under a consultation announced today by exchequer secretary David Gauke.
The proposals include rules designed to penalise tax advisors who market "contrived" schemes that have "little or no chance" of working, as part of an initiative aimed at warning taxpayers of the risks of tax avoidance.
Further reading
Promised in the Budget, the consultation to update tax avoidance schemes disclosure (DOTAS) legislation comes after public outcry over the tax affairs of celebrities and big business and its top brass.
It is unsurprising, then, that Gauke appeared determined in his speech to the Policy Exchange think tank, confident his initiative would receive popular support.
"There is little sympathy for those who don't pay their share," he said, but conceded "there will always be those who seek to shirk their responsibility".
His confidence is not without foundation. Just last week, Olympic sponsors McDonald's and Coca-Cola opted not to take up their entitlement to tax breaks during the Games after being handed a petition signed by some 150,000 people calling for them to pay up.
Given that swell of public feeling, it is hoped the latest proposals will "make it easier for taxpayers to identify such schemes when they are on the end of a hard sell by a dodgy promoter".
In his speech today, Gauke boldly claimed: "Some consultations are an effective cure for insomnia, but this is one that will keep those involved with avoidance awake at night."
That could well be the case, but there is concern among practitioners over the wide-ranging powers the proposals could usher in for HMRC. Chief among these is the power to demand client lists, which will be met with vociferous resistance.
The prospect of 'naming and shaming' those involved with tax avoidance is one with which few in accountancy are comfortable, especially given the rules on taxpayer confidentiality.
ICAEW chief executive Michael Izza – who has already courted controversy over his views on aggressive avoidance schemes peddled by advisors – has expressed reservations over that element of the legislation. With the institute fighting to gain legal professional privilege for their advisors' clients in line with tax lawyers, such a move to force advisors to reveal clients would be disastrous.
While Gauke and the Treasury are likely to receive the public's support for this latest move to reduce avoidance, the reservations of accountants at large must be addressed.
The more relaxed will point out that revealing points of view is the purpose of consultation periods. However, there is a feeling that the taxman's determination to close the tax gap on the wave of public distaste at exotic avoidance schemes could see practitioners drowned out.
At this early stage, though, there is time enough to turn the tide.

1998: Bill Clinton and the Year America Changed
on September 23, 2013On September 11, 1998, one of the last September 11th's that would be completely normal, I was sitting in a small bar in the airport in Shreveport, Louisiana, drinking the second of several indolent afternoon beers and waiting for my plane back home. The TV set above the bar was tuned to CNN, and Candy Crowley was reading, as best she could and propriety allowed, the report compiled by Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr concerning the only case he had left against Bill Clinton namely, the sexual affair between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. The report was precise. The report was graphic. The report was the single most bizarre government document ever produced.
"According to Ms. Lewinsky, she performed oral sex on the president on nine occasions . On all nine of those occasions, the president fondled and kissed her bare breasts. He touched her genitals, both through her underwear and directly, bringing her to orgasm on two occasions. On one occasion, the president inserted a cigar into her vagina. On another occasion, she and the president had brief genital-to-genital contact."
A crowd gathered quickly, jamming the little concourse saloon far beyond what must have been its legal capacity. The closed-captioning was on, and quite a few words scrolled by that have not often scrolled by on a news program, before or since. People stared, silent and, yes, it must be said, openmouthed. I thought back to that morning in the desert almost nine months earlier. I knew now what the Drudge Report was. I had a fairly good idea of what was going on in this, the least likely scandal of them all. It was easier to understand than Whitewater, God knows, and more obviously a problem than the unfathomable uproar over the travel office. I didn't know what was going on in Afghanistan, nor did many of the other people in the bar. The last most of us had heard about the place, the Russians were still raising hell there.
A cigar?
"Jesus," somebody behind me said. "How the hell did the country get to this place?"
The pursuit of Bill Clinton, who was himself pursuing Osama bin Laden, fell into a burlesque after the midterm elections of 1998. Newt Gingrich, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, had said that he would give a speech on the moral turpitude of Bill Clinton every day until the elections were held. At the last minute, Gingrich spent millions of Republican-party money on an ad campaign specifically attacking Clinton over the scandal. However, in a considerable break with political tradition, which dictated that the party out of the White House always does well in midterm elections, especially in the second term, the Republicans got kicked around the block by a party led by the man they were preparing to impeach.
They actually lost five seats in the House of Representatives, leaving them with a thin eleven-vote majority when the next Congress would convene in January. Even Henry Hyde, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee that would vote on the articles of impeachment, thought that the election results were directly tied to what the country had come to believe was a Republican obsession with Bill Clinton's penis and where it had been. Surely, many people in Washington thought, there was no way that the Republicans would proceed with impeachment proceedings in a lame-duck Congress. Many people in Washington were wrong. The acceleration was still increasing. The unbalanced forces driving it were still irresistible, and they were still growing. The deputy of the disgraced Gingrich, now-felon Tom DeLay of Texas, hoisted impeachment onto his back. The reprobate from Sugar Land had long wanted to impeach Clinton for something, and with Republican ownership of Congress, how could they not?
"The most amazing thing I had to report back to my caucus was what happened on the day after the elections in 1998," says Julian Epstein, who then was the minority chief counsel for the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, which included Barney Frank. "I went to see the general counsel and I asked him if the elections had given us a way out. But they were going full speed ahead. The elections hadn't changed their plans one bit. I was very surprised."
Throughout the fall of 1998, the Democrats used the reckless momentum of the Republicans to very good advantage, even as the actual impeachment proceedings ground on toward fruition. In November, Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr came before the committee, and Barney Frank elicited from Starr that all the other purported scandals that had dogged
the Clinton administration from its beginning which, after all, were the things that Starr had been intended to investigate were the purest moonshine. Frank then suggested that it might have been nice had Starr admitted all that before the elections, but he succeeded in demonstrating that the Lewinsky scandal, of which the public had demonstrated its exhaustion, was all that Starr and the Republicans had left. Nevertheless, on December 19, the House of Representatives approved two of the four articles of impeachment that had been proposed by the Judiciary Committee and Bill Clinton joined Andrew Johnson to become one of only two presidents ever to be impeached by the House. Even that news was overcome by events; that same day, as Clinton was being impeached over the events surrounding his affair with Monica Lewinsky, Speaker of the Housedesignate Bob Livingston of Louisiana, who was to have replaced Gingrich, who'd been defenestrated after the election debacle, got up in the chamber and announced that he'd also had an extramarital affair and would be resigning immediately. The comic opera was nearly complete.
Three days earlier, at the height of the debate over his impeachment, Clinton had launched cruise-missile strikes into Iraq. "Never underestimate," said Republican Gerald Solomon of New York, "a desperate president."
At least for me, the acceleration began in the hours before dawn as I drove through the Arizona desert to meet John McCain. Things moved so fast, and the unbalanced forces grew so strong, that you never noticed the turning points when they came. They are obvious only now in retrospect, and you have to look quickly or you'll miss them.
A lot of things we take for granted in our politics now had their rough beginnings in 1998. Ratfucking or, more politely, opposition research went far beyond Donald Segretti's pranks. The campaign against Bill Clinton that began with the Richard Mellon Scaifefinanced investigation into his personal life, continued with a cavalcade of phony scandals, and ended with impeachment was as far beyond writing phony letters on Muskie-campaign stationery as the Internet is from lawn signs. The media now means almost anything you want it to mean; there are now literally millions of Drudge Reports, some mainstream and some decidedly not, and all of them helping to speed the dissemination of information beyond the power of reason or discernment. That has led to the argument culture that has come to dominate political debate. "Polarization" in the sense that most of the people decrying it define it began when Bill Clinton was elected and became a permanent fixture in our politics during 1998.
"Part if it was that we had people on the Judiciary Committee who loved the limelight," explains Julian Epstein, himself a fixture now on cable-news programs. "That's when Moveon was born. The Internet was coming of age. It was the first real grassroots organizing by Internet.
"As I said, some of the Republicans really liked the fact that they were in the limelight and they were getting a lot of grassroots reinforcement. Cable TV and the Internet were starting. You had listservs. The fact was that cable news was getting immediate ratings, so they also had an outlet to get on TV. That polarized things. It was partisanship on steroids at that time. And impeachment was the stage where all these factors came to a head."
It was the hard stuff, the obscure stuff, that was lost as the accelerated age dawned. Men plotting in distant caves were not good television. They did not move the ratings needle, or get your new Web site hits, or titillate the audience with tales of illicit foozling in sacred hallways. It is impossible now to wonder, if Monica Lewinsky never had come to the White House, or if the unbalanced forces driving her story had not found as much traction as they did, whether the original World Trade Center might not still be standing. What if bin Laden had overruled his aides and gone on to Khost, instead of Kabul, there to meet a cruise missile with his name on it? What if they had stormed Tarnak Farms and hauled him into a New York federal courtroom, the way they did several of his accomplices in the embassy bombings, at roughly the same time Kenneth Starr was telling the House of Representatives about orgasms? You used to be able to notice when history pivoted. You could feel the fearsome momentum of it. So much changed in 1998 without us ever turning our heads to notice.
It is now fifteen years later, and Monica Lewinsky has turned forty. The violence goes on in Iraq and in Afghanistan, and in other places, all of it spawned in response to the actions of the man who ensured that September 11, 1998, with CNN telling us about strategically placed cigars, actually would be one of the last September 11th's that we would remember as being normal, the man we could neither kill nor capture back in 1998. He eventually was killed on the orders of another Democratic president who also found himself beset at home by phantom scandals first by doubts about the place of his birth and then by accusations that he is simultaneously a socialist, a communist, and a fascist, and then by Benghazi and the IRS.
Isaac Newton is still smarter than all of us. It was in 1998 that the acceleration began. It has only increased, the unbalanced forces working on the government, and the country, and the events of the day, only growing in both numbers and in strength. The present even more seems already to be the future, and the past, when we can see it at all, recedes into the distance faster than it ever has, faster than thought, faster certainly than regret.

I've had my Miele washer and dryer about a month. I was just now pulling up AJ Madison's site to research freezers and used the link I'd saved to the Miele dryer page. I was shocked to see it was listed as "discontinued." I then went to the Miele site and sure enough, it showed the vented dryers as "retired." What???? One of the things that swayed me to the Miele was the fact that I'd read Bosch was discontinuing its vented dryers and I didn't want to be left with a machine that was no longer supported. Does anybody know what's going on? |

Vented and traditional condenser dryers and being discontinued by many European manufacturers. This is at least the situation in Europe and is - surprise, surprise - because of tighter energy regulations (just like in the US). Heat pump dryers use much less energy and this is what manufacturers are focusing on. Countries like Switzerland have already banned conventional dryers in 2012 - only heat pump models are allowed to be on sale. Miele Germany currently has one vented and six conventional electric dryers on its home page... but eleven heat pump models. Bosch is about the same. Just did some reading in the German forum while writing my reply and read that Miele will only produce heat pump dryers as of January next year. Alex |
This sounds like a great advancement. Unfortunately I just bought a vented Miele dryer this past summer. Oh well. |

Wow, Fahrenheit 451, those new machines look amazing. Too bad I was desperate and couldn't wait. I appreciate the insights on new dryer technology, Whirlpool Trainee. I'm just a little stunned that this would come to pass immediately upon my purchasing the old technology! Just like when I invested so heavily in dirigibles and button hooks. Guess we're in the same boat, Enduring! Here's hoping our new dryers have a long and trouble free future. I'm really liking my machines. You? |
Yes Nutherokie, I am liking mine too! I still have to get the cabinets installed around my set to really make them part of the room. I am using the washer and dryer all the time. I feel so grateful that I was able to get these machines. |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Sat, Nov 16, 13 at 8:52
I'm in the same boat. I bought my pair in February and 3 months later there were new models. The nice thing about Miele is that they will still support. I'm about to buy the longest warranty possible. I feel the way enduring does about mine, especially when I wash sweaters and they come out like new. |
- Posted by nutherokie (My Page) on Sat, Nov 16, 13 at 15:53
I suggested to my husband that I might have steered us wrong and caused us to purchase what may be a disappearing technology. He looked at me like I was crazy. He thinks we're very lucky to have nabbed such a great machine while they were still available! Rococogurl, your cheat sheet has been invaluable to me as I've been learning how to use the washer! I really appreciate all the work you put into it. I'm still trying to decide if I want to spring for the Miele extended warranties. The salesman actually told me he never recommends extended warranties for the Mieles because they're just so trouble free. It would be nice to have the peace of mind the warranties provide, but $500 is a lot for peace of mind! |

Don't worry about these new machines: they have only just launched in Germany and parts of Europe - who knows when they'll make to the US. Besides, the new series does have some issues, it seems. Several people, including me, have checked them out at the stores and built quality does not seem to compare to older generaltions like the W3000 units. Wobbly detergent dispenser, imprecise dials, plastic door... Miele said they redesigned every part but the feet - maybe they shouldn't have.The dryers actually fell nicer than the washers. Heat pump dryers are increasingly popular in all of Europe, but they do have their trade-offs as well. There are several filters to clean and they take longer to complete a cycle. Alex |
- Posted by fahrenheit_451 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 16, 13 at 17:48
Hmmmm...that's not good. My wife and I are happy with our now defunct and aging W4840 and T9822. However, there are things I had to attend to such as applying white grease to the inner cover tubes of the washer's lower suspension as they were chafing and producing plastic debris, and many other little preventive measures/adjustments to both machines.Several people, including me, have checked them out at the stores and built quality does not seem to compare to older generations... Hard to tell what we choose next, albeit Miele is on the short list. I do like how Samsung allows wireless uploading of firmware in their upper models of wash and dryer and that's important to me. Samsung could easily have the consumer market all sewn up with their ability to produce and change at a moment's notice, plus their almost unlimited resources; Miele is a niche market. |

mielefan89 on YouTube has some video of the new washer. His first unit had broken shocks and was replaced, after customer service tried to fix everything, by Miele. I think you'll like the new way it rinses on the QuickPowerWash cycle. |

Alex, Impressive cycle! Thanks for posting the link(s). Jim |
Where did you hear Bosch is discontinuing vented dryers? They still have one on their website, although I see that their more recently introduced models are condensation-only. Miele still has two or three vented dryers on their website as well. Discontinuing vented dryers will not go over well in the US in my opinion, given that most Americans that have laundry machines in their home have an outside vent already installed; only some condo dwellers are likely to need a ventless dryer. The reviews from condensation dryer owners seem to indicate that they are noisier, take longer and/or don't dry as completely, and require more maintenence related to cleaning the condenser coils. IOW, they're not recommended unless you can't install outdoor venting. |
- Posted by nutherokie (My Page) on Sun, Nov 17, 13 at 19:25
Hi Lee676, I think I read on this forum that Bosch was moving to discontinue vented dryers. But I was reading everything I could find at the time, so I may have come across that somewhere else. Take it with a grain of salt. If you go to Miele's website and click on the standard vented dryers (T8003 and T8005, I think) they are listed as "retired" and customers are advised to check dealers for any remaining stock. They are still making the professional "Little Giant" vented dryer, but if I recall correctly, it's over $3000 for the dryer alone. It looks wonderful, but is way out of my comfort zone. I agree it will be frustrating if the already limited choices for compact European-style machines are reduced even further. I guess the American market for them is just too small to warrant special attention. |
- Posted by nutherokie (My Page) on Sun, Nov 17, 13 at 19:27
Oops. Meant to add that it could very well be as Fahrenheit 451 suggested and Miele is just between models on vented dryers. I hope that is the case. |
As long as the Miele and Asko 240v washers stay available I'll be satisfied. They can always be paired with a GE, Samsung, or LG 24" vented dryer if those companies keep making them. It will be more of a hassle to stack them or to power them up as you won't have the washer-plugs-into-dryer option. Or will tightening laws force those off the market too? |
There was a new standard that went into effect earlier this year. Excerpt from Appliance Magazine: It's been my understanding that many of the manufacturers have had difficulty getting a vented dryer to pass the new tough standards of being able to contain a fire for 7 hours. |

Back in February before I purchased my new w/d I was considering Bosch as I had a pair in our apartment and I liked it a lot. But for our house I needed a vented dryer and the appliance sales person told me the Bosch vented dryers were being discontinued. So I went with the Miele pair and while was very expensive it has completely exceeded my expectations. IMHO it's the best of the front loaders by far though the Bosch is also very good. Re the Bosch condenser dryer. It dried everything very well. It was my first condenser experience -- I've always had vented. No difference except that it got very hot and the door to the laundry closet had to be left open. The only con I could name would be the need to clean the condenser filter regularly, not an easy job, and I wished the machine turned itself off completely (though the Miele doesn't either). I was told also -- knowledgeable appliance store person -- that the Bosch marketing was towards apartments and homes where vented wasn't required. Small spaces. Seems to me that, energy requirements apart, that's a natural market for Euro front loaders. Presumably, American families want larger machines. We're just two and the space-saving aspects of having them under counter is superb. nuthernokie -- glad the cheat sheet is working for you. We updated it recently btw with more notes. I'm just sorry it's buried in a post with a different name and doesn't have one of its own (which I can't ethically do) so it could be found more easily. |

Thanks, Rococogurl! Found it! Odd that Miele offers so little practical guidance regarding its washing machine. It's awfully generous of you to fill in the gaps. By the way, I liked my Bosch set too. But the Mieles are much better. |
So do I go a head and purchase a miele vented dryer even though my renovation won't be done for months? We currently don't have a washer and dryer but as we are on the top floor of the brownstone we can vent.... |

"I like this version of chimichangas. I used 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast cooked and shredded, it was enough for 5 chimichangas-more than enough for my husband and I. I also used Pace Picante medium salsa and about a quarter cup of diced bell pepper that I was already using for some Mexican rice on the side. My husband and I like it spi..."
"Delicious fudge! I will also remember the hard boil for next time, was a little soft. I ended up adding more nuts and marshmellows."
"Great recipe, ingredients are readily available which is always nice. Added red pepper flakes and a pinch of cayenne for a little kick. I will try with ground turkey and lowfat ingredients for a healthier alternative next time. Excellent with a salad and garlic bread."
"Really enjoyed these cookies! They are delicious and the colors are perfect for Christmas. The sweet cranberries work wonderfully with the pistachios. Will make again!"
"A very easy side dish. Made it with a Pot Roast (http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-crock-pot-roast-32215 ) and it was fantastic together! I used 3/4 of the butter the recipe calls for and a little olive oil. Added a tad of Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a little parm. Great, will use again!"
"Deliciously Easy!! Will definitely make again! Ended up cooking it 4 hours on low and the last two hours on high-was a little short on time, but it was still fantastic! I also put a bag of frozen pearl onions (precooked in the micro for four minutes and drained) and some baby carrots on top sprinkled some garlic salt and pepper for the last two ho..."

Hi, I live in a wooded area - with lots of shade and rain. For the last several years, small red ants have been destroying my impatiens by eating the bottom of the stem and the roots (the healthy plants will wilt and the stems fall of where the stems touch the soil - that is where they get chewed off). I have tried Ortho ready mix Bug-B-Gon (Diazion mix) which destroyed the imaptiens in addition to reducing the ants - although the ants came back again) and Bug Get a Plus pellets (ants, slime, slugs) which is supposed to attract the insects and kill them - only for sure it attracted more ants and did not do anything else. I tried other insecticides also, but it affects the plants no matter how dilute I make them. I put in so much effort in taking care of the impatiens and replant them on and on but it is a losing battle. Any suggestion or remedy will be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm afraid the ants will destroy your plants quicker than any counter-measure will save them. In any war it's best to know when to make a tactical retreat. here it looks like the ants are winning. Take some cuttings off the plants that are still undamaged, then move out. Replant in an area that won't get attacked. It's very important in any area that is prone to ant infestation not to let them get the upper hand. This means constant vigilance and timely application of anti-ant chemicals. You will know next time. Good luck - Ian. |

Insider Trader: Patch 3.3.3 changes for professionals {WoW}
Feb 23rd 2010 12:24AM Here's my 2 copper on Glacial Bags they are worthless. Lets take a look at your slots:
1 The crappy backpack that would be nice to get a larger one.
2 The Dragon Hide Bag its a 22 slot bag and its free. Most guild should be able to take down this boss with no problem now.
3 Enlarged Onyxia Hide Backpack also 22 slot and free. Still doable for current gear levels.
4 Papa's Brand New Bag again 22 slot and free.
5 if you have any professions this is the slot for that bag or for a warlocks soul bag.
After seeing all of this why would you waste any gold on a Glacial bag? The only place that you could still want any for is your own bank and if you have that much stuff its time to clean house or make a alt with its own guild bank.
Ensidia temporarily banned for exploits {WoW}
Feb 5th 2010 4:33AM Blizz bans them for using an expliot what about everyone that use the glitch in the HoR to let the lich king pass. Or what about using a Hunter, mage or night elf to despawn he mobs in the Hadronox fight in AN. Blizz got beat. Its not the fault of the guild for finding out a way to kill him, thats what we are susposed to do in this game. Find ways to kill mobs.They are pissed that soemone found something that they didnt think of first. I say let them have their spoils and then fix the fight so it cant be done that way again.

Celiac Disease Nutrition Guide, 3rd Ed. (Single Copy)
This easy to read "survival guide" outlines essential information for people diagnosed with Celiac disease.
Autism Spectrum Disorders, or ASD, is a complex developmental and neurological condition that typically appears during the first three years of life. It affects brain function, particularly in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Classic symptoms include delayed talking, lack of interest in playing with other children, not wanting to be held or cuddled and poor eye contact. There is no known cause for ASD, but both genetics and environment are believed to play a role.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 1 in every 68 American children has been identified with ASD. It is five times more common in boys than in girls.
People with ASD often repeat behaviors and have narrow, obsessive interests. These types of behavior can affect eating habits and food choices, and this can possibly lead to the following health concerns.
Some people feel a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet improves the symptoms of autism. Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Casein is a protein found in milk. Proponents of the diet believe people with autism have a "leaky gut," or intestine, which allows parts of gluten and casein to seep into the bloodstream and affect the brain and central nervous system. The belief is that this may lead to autism or magnify its symptoms.
To date, controlled scientific studies have not proven this to be true. However, some people report relief in symptoms after following a GFCF diet. If you are considering a GFCF diet, talk with your health care team, including a registered dietitian nutritionist. There can be side effects and potential nutrient shortfalls when a GFCF diet is self-prescribed.
Just about every child, with or without autism, can be choosy and particular about the foods he or she eats. A registered dietitian nutritionist can identify any nutritional risks based on how your child eats, answer your questions about diet therapies and supplements advertised as helpful for autism, and help guide your child on how to eat well and live healthfully.

I don't have any advice, but I did want to say congrats on getting in and being able to work at Epcot. I'm hoping to do a CP in a couple of years and I would LOVE to be able to work at Epcot.
Last time I was there I saw a lot of Innoventions CM's patroling the Future World side of World Showcase Lagoon before and during the fireworks, so that might be something they might have you do.

First, if you want to know the real first name of a Dec Dis'r, go here. Post #3 is reserved for our featured Roll Callers. This is the spot where you can get the low down and skinny on your fellow December Roll Callers. Check back every few days as I will update it with new Dis'ers. If you would like to view past featured Dis'ers, check out this special presentation! For those who want to be a part of the fun, please PM me so we can keep requests off the thread. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ parkhopping Your 3 sentence biography: I am a 24 year old full time student living in the Tampa area. I am an International Studies major and I love to travel! I am outgoing, nerdy and proud, and above all else a growing Christian. First time or Zillionith trip to WDW? Not quite zillionth, but getting close! As you can see from my sig, I visited WDW twice on family vacations as a kid. After moving to FL for college, I had 3 opportunities to visit MK for parties (Pirate and Princess, the one year they did it, and MVMCP), as well as formal school functions at the resorts. I also visited DTD a few times a year to get a Disney fix for free For Christmas 2011 my only request was a seasonal pass. Now I visit an average of twice a month! I jokingly tell my friends that I can quit anytime I want, but like any addiction that's definitely not true I suppose this is a good addiction to have, though! Brief background about your upcoming trip (include dates): My good friend Whitney is coming to visit and we will be in the parks 12/17-18. We will be staying at either ASMu or the DTD Hilton (my late bday present from my parents). I'm sure I will be going at least twice in December besides this trip, though - in fact, I know I'll be at Epcot this Saturday 12/1! Why did you choose December? We have actually been planning this trip since February, when she and I went to MK together. We were walking by the construction walls for NF and saw the picture of Belle's village and BOG and instantly freaked out! That was the first either of us had heard of the plans for NF (oh, the days before I became Disney savvy and stayed up to date on things!), and BaTB is both her and my favorite Disney movie. We looked at each other and said, "We have to eat there when it opens!!" I spent 4 hours on the phone getting a ressie in August. And now we are actually going! What are you most looking forward to? Dining at BOG, of course! There's no way I could afford to eat dinner there on my own dime more than once, so this is probably my only chance. I'm also excited about staying onsite and not having to drive an hour to get home the first night! My most cherished upcoming ADR: You should know this one by now! Favorite Disney snack (or for those who haven't been, what you most look forward to snacking on): Two words: Dole. Whip. My Disney touring style - Commando or Turtle? A far cry from turtle, but maybe not quite commando. I do try to maximize my time, though, and I never stop to watch parades or atmosphere stuff. Sometime I'd like to plan a day to focus on the things I always skip. I am always rides, rides, rides! I refuse to stand in any line longer than 40 minutes, and even that's a stretch. I have never used a detailed touring plan, though I do have a general strategy in mind whenever I go. My upcoming trip is: planned down to the second or going with the flow - Definitely more the latter. I don't think we've even settled the question of which parks we're hitting which days (except MK the night of our dinner, of course)! Thanks for the reminder, I need to get on that. How you might be able to find me while at Disney: (i.e. Resting in a hammock at CSR, tipsy at WS in EPCOT, 'that couple' in matching outfits, inquiring about the time of the 3 o'clock parade) On this trip, I'll be the girl with her friend totally spazzing over how beautiful NF is! On a regular day, you can find me relaxing on the PeopleMover, riding Soarin' for the 3rd time that day, getting emotional during One Man's Dream, or screaming on Everest The Disney character that is most like me and why: I think Belle and I have a lot in common. We both love to read, grew up in a small town, don't fit in with the crowd, and don't fall for the mainstream guys. This is a picture of me at Epcot in 2001! I was 12 years old and very stylish, as you can tell by my bangs and fanny pack I thought I was so cool!! http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me...3u2zo1_500.jpg curseofcurves Your 3 sentence biography: I'm a 20-something who is a relatively new Disney World fanatic. My Dbf enjoys the trips, but doesn't get nearly as excited as me. We're gamers who love good movies and travelling. I have a special affinity for Tigger, and Dbf's favorite Disney movie is Aladdin. First time or Zillionith trip to WDW? This will be our 4th trip in as many years. We both went around age 2, but I won't count those since we don't remember any of it! Brief background about your upcoming trip (include dates): We're staying Dec 7-Dec 12. First night offsite, then moving to POP for our first onsite stay. I won 4 - One day park hoppers from My Coke Rewards, so we've got 2 park days and 2 days to enjoy the resorts, DTD, and do some outlet shopping. Why did you choose December? We've been in August, May, and June for Star Wars Weekends. I swore I'd never go again in the heat, so it was only natural for our next trip to be in December. Plus - Holiday decorations!!! What are you most looking forward to? The castle with all it's lights, new Fantasyland, and Pin trading for the first time. My most cherished upcoming ADR: Boma. Dbf and I like to eat unique foods, so I made an ADR here for our first trip. We ended up eating there again before we left, twice the next trip, and once on the third trip. Boma is sooo yummy...can't wait! Favorite Disney snack: School Bread! Closely followed by the Grand Marnier Orange slush. My Disney touring style - Commando or Turtle? Commando. It's just the 2 of us, so we make extensive use of fastpasses, crisscross the parks, and try to get everything done. My upcoming trip is: planned down to the second or going with the flow - I am a big big planner for everything. I've planned a lot for this trip since we have so little time. In the end, our main priorities are seeing things specific to the holidays and doing our favorite attractions in each park. How you might be able to find me while at Disney: - Walking around with my jaw open, gazing at the wonder that is Disney World. The Disney character that is most like me and why: I see little bits of myself in Rex from Toy Story, Minnie, and Tigger (especially when I'm at Disney and bouncing off the walls!) __________________ Scroll down to see who will be LIVE TWEETING during their trip! http://i48.tinypic.com/2cyiqle.png http://i50.tinypic.com/29cxdw8.gif http://i48.tinypic.com/1112u08.gif http://i47.tinypic.com/volmdu.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/11mgdxk.gif |

I've wanted a Micro-ATX system for ages. I don't know what it is about them but I just love them to bits. I don't even need it from a practical point of view, where it would be easier to carry around; this for the simple fact it wouldn't move off my desk. The thing is, there's something cool about having a 30" monitor powered by this tiny machine. Most of the things I find myself buying these days are because I want them, not need them. A Micro-ATX system would sit nicely in that category.
The problem is that for so long there has never really been the components out there to really build a system that could power such a large monitor. But this has changed a few months ago thanks to two companies; the first was Lian Li who brought out a Micro-ATX case that was small, but not too small. What it allowed you to do was have a small footprint whilst still holding the goods.
The other company was DFI; the release of the LANParty Jr board based on the P45 chipset brought the biggest smile to my face. Talking to the guys down at IBuyPower Australia, it was only a matter of time before the two pieces of equipment found themselves merged together. The time has come and that time is today. This is one machine that you will find yourself getting excited about. Upon powering the machine up, I felt like a kid in a candy store with all the windows open and a hurricane coming through. But we will get into that a bit later.

There are several programs in New Mexico to help low-income families and individuals pay for their heating and cooling costs. Government help is also available for weatherization assistance. In addition, low-income customers may be able to get telephone discounts and utility shutoff protection.
Please note that this is not a complete list of energy or utility assistance programs that may be available to you.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), sometimes called heating assistance or fuel assistance, helps low-income families pay their heating and cooling bills. Eligibility is based on gross household income. The program is for homeowners and renters. Depending upon availability, some energy assistance households may also qualify for other utility related assistance programs, such as weatherization and emergency furnace repairs.
The PNM Good Neighbor Fund is to help low income families pay their electric bills. Funds from PNM customers, shareholders, and employees make the PNM Good Neighbor Fund possible. The donations received are distributed by the Salvation Army. You will need to qualify to receive assistance.
HEAT New Mexico is the New Mexico Gas Company's heating assistance fund to help low income families pay their home energy bills. It is administered by the Salvation Army. The fund comes from donations from other New Mexico Gas Company customers and matching funds from the New Mexico Gas Company.
The NM Energy $mart program provides weatherization assistance to New Mexico low-income homeowners and tenants. The program is designed to create energy efficiency in a home, allowing households to spend less on energy bills. Benefits include things like repair or replacement of broken windows, weather stripping, furnace repair or replacement, and similar measures. The program is coordinated by the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority and administed by four agencies located throughout New Mexico.

OK... I need a "fun" challenge for this long weekend! I need to make big progress in the overall house organization, but I want it to be something that maybe remotely sounds like a good time. LOL
Any ideas? Julie |

Arrange every object in every closet, cupboard, & shelf in every single room in alphabetical order. Then when you get done with that, arrange all your clothes in chronological order from oldest to newest. That should keep you busy for a while. :-) |
- Posted by krustytopp (My Page) on Fri, Sep 1, 06 at 18:33
Sort through your fall/winter clothes: try on stuff you didn't wear last year and decide if it's worth keeping. |
- Posted by julie_mi_z5 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 2, 06 at 7:57
Krusty--Actually my fall/winter clothes are in great shape! I purged at the end of the season last year, and I did the summer purge last weekend (if I didn't wear it this summer, I won't wear it next summer!). Quirky--you're too funny. |
Take the weekend off -- read a good book, go see a movie, enjoy a dinner out -- Back to organizing and decluttering on Tuesday :-) Sorry - I'm no help! |
I'm a bit late here, but if you still feel the need to make BIG progress, it sounds to me like you still need to focus on getting rid of more stuff. Anytime I can't keep something organized, the stuff has slowly built up. Hope you're having some nice holiday weather down there. We've had nothing but rain for three weeks and now the leaves are turning. I'm going to focus on the yard for the next week or two in hopes I'm not out there in the freezing cold trying to move stuff for the ice rink. Gloria |

Tomorrow is THE EXTRA DAY off work. Hooray! It should be a nice day since nothing is planned and I'm booked every night after work this week. Gloria, actually the house is decently organized and 15 minutes from "company ready" (AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MY MOTHER COMING, LOL) but I'm always trying to pare down stuff that we're not using regularly. Saturday I Freecycle'd the old dog grooming table, which (since the dogs are gone) had become just an extra table in the back garage. The table went to a young lady in dog grooming school who couldn't afford one of her own. AND I got DH to agree to take our old, hard to assemble camping screen house on his next Katrina mission trip, and set it up and leave it there for the volunteers to use (his third clean-up and rebuilding trip is in October). Since I have noticed the cooler weather here, too, I've started the fall garden clean up and cut back some flowers that were looking faded (one big paper compost bag full). Everything I do now means less to do later when I have to wear a winter coat. MAURA--Actually I *did* read a book this weekend that I bought at a garage sale, then I passed it on to a neighbor. I also crocheted a little and scrapbooked some. I also started to stock up for winter on essentials and watching the ads. Saturday I bought 10 tubes of toothpaste on sale. I hope to have adequate supplies by October 1st so I don't have to push heavy shopping carts through slushy parking lots in the middle of a blizzard (not that THAT has ever happened! LOL). My son's high school football team has dinner together the night before their weekly game, so I'm also trying to plan on having only 2 days advance notice in case the coach decides to have 45 kids come for dinner at MY house this month. We still haven't figured out how he decides who is having dinners when/where? but he is not the kind to preplan. I figure if I get it all set in my mind, then I won't panic if the time comes that they're coming here. So that's my update! |
I cleaned the kitchen in our house which is being remodeled. Actually it was more like archeology because they kept piling stuff in there. I purged and threw stuff out, then went back to our apartment and did the same there. I felt like a scullery maid. Gave garden stuff--citrus fertilizer, spray fungicide, extra garden tools to a neighbor in the apartment who is doing a spectacular job of container gardening on her porch. Then put together a picnic for out of town company 6 adults, 3 month old twins and a 2 year old for an evening at the Hollywood Bowl listening to John Williams conduct the LA philharmonic. A program of film music--half of which was music he composed for Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones. We had a box which is more roomy than bench seats and the kids were good. quirky's idea about putting clothes in chronological order isn't such a bad idea. I think we do wear newest stuff more. I group by color. |

RE: CLothes order My order varies. I like it when "outfits" are together for the week, but currently I have all the blazers together, shirts together, pants together, etc. Our weather is starting to turn cooler, so getting dressed depends on the temperature of the day. I definitely need more "transitional" blouses. |
Since my DH had to work all weekend, this has been a great opportunity to get the kids organized. School started last week and I hadn't really done any back-to-school shopping beyond pens/paper/pencils/binders. Saturday I finally had a chance to go through my DD's school clothes and wound up with a bag full of outgrown clothes to go to Goodwill. We did a whirlwind trip to Target for blue jeans, both kids got new sneakers and shoes (how do children manage to grow not just one but several sizes in footwear over one summer?), and we even got the DD's new full-length mirror mounted on her closet door. Now I feel like everyone is ready (and dressed for) the school year. Toss in a couple of evening BBQs (despite the rain) and it's been a nice three days :) |

Sheri, Good work! DS-15 doesn't start school until Wednesday, and as far as I know all his clothes fit (we do need to check his dress shirts & sports coat). He hates to shop, has asked for nothing, and I'm still trying to pare down what he has. I've spent the day scrapbooking, washing floors, doing laundry, and intermittent garden cleanup. It's warm but not sunny outside, and I'm thinking a walk up to DS's football practice tonight sounds enjoyable? I ordered prints online from CVS today and will need to pick them up tonight after 5:00. It's the first time I've tried it and I'm hoping the pictures are OK. I would love to avoid standing at CVS making digital prints! I tend to put it off until I have tons to make, then it takes forever. |
sorry i got to this post late. too bad you are so far from me. I have several projects at my house you could do. diggerb |

text: With a battalion of high wattage guests, Carlos Santana's ''comeback'' album is an obvious attempt to recast the Woodstock-era guitar god as a thoroughly modern mensch. But don't let that stop you from digging Supernatural. Whether he's spraying lyrical notes over a soulful Lauryn Hill composition, trading molten licks with Eric Clapton, or playing spacey blues with Everlast, Santana still has that old ''Black Magic Woman'' thing goin' on. And while he's no Ricky Martin, the up-tempo Spanish tracks indicate our man knows what time it is. B+

Back in the day, self tanners were synonymous with orangey, Ooompa-Loompa skin. But with a few tips from St. Tropez's skin finishing expert, Fiona Locke, you can pull off a healthy glow like Cameron Diaz's in no time.
1. Familiarize yourself with the product beforehand. "Get used to the application technique, and the way the product interacts with your skin to cut down on any surprises," says Locke. And for the best results, apply your tan two full days before the big event.
2. Prepare accordingly. "Exfoliate, shave, and make sure your skin is completely dry," says Locke. Put a towel on the floor, wear gloves to avoid staining your palms, and start working your way up from your feet.
3. More is more. "It's really about making sure you have even coverage," she says. "It's very hard for your tan to be uneven if you over-apply. You're more likely to be uneven if you under-apply." If you're using a product like St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Spray ($34, sttropeztan.com), the excess cosmetic bronzer will wash away in the shower and leave you with smooth and uniform coverage.Read MoreLess

Everyone should have one thing in this world that allows them to feel there is a chance at change. It's called hope - a powerful emotion. And once you have hope change can begin. Well, the movie, The Help…

Question: What are some of the words you use to describe love? I can think of many but that would take up this entire blog post. I just came back from seeing a movie that may have put some definitions in perfect order and more succinctly than I could: Crazy, Stupid, Love.
I am still undecided if I liked this movie or not. I liked all the actors in it, I laughed (no, I did not cry), I got a little bored and even rolled my eyes…

Raise your hand if you think John Hughes wrote (and directed) some great movies about high school? Yep, me too. Well, the filmmakers of Easy A apparently thought the same thing - or they wouldn't have referenced some of his most iconic films for this modern high school story.
