The newest addition to our team!
"On Sunday October 25th, I ran the 34th annual Marine Corps Marathon. This was by far the most difficult race I have ever run. My knee problems started acting up very early in the race. My body started to quit on me before I had even started my sixth mile (with 20 left to go). With tears streaming down my face, I grit my teeth and reminded myself why I was running that day. The race was no longer about my own personal running goals. It was about something better than that. I was running down every dollar that each of you committed to the Karen in Burma. Besides the pain I had to fight off for four hours could hardly be comparable to the pain the Karen have felt for 47 years living under the junta. I refused to let myself walk a single step or stop and rest—I pressed on, and ran every single step with each and every one of you.
I didn't run this race for me. I ran to honor each and every one of you and for those in the world that don't have the access to peace and health that I do."
- Hilary
Special thanks for Brooks for your steadfast support of Run for Burma.

"Father-daughter" and "mother-son" activities are popular traditions in the United States.
But school officials in Cranston, R.I., recently banned "father-daughter" dances after a mother complained the events represent a gender bias.
"I think we really do a disservice to the kids when we create gender stereotypes or when we create any event that might make a family feel excluded," explained Carolyn Mark, who helped file the complaint.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the school district, citing a state law that says gender discrimination in education is prohibited.
In response, school officials changed policy and ended gender specific dances but also passed a resolution asking the state to change the law to make an exception for "mother-daughter" and "father-son" activities.

The next best thing to attending an excellent event is receiving a blow-by-blow report of the conference highlights.
Ian Homer, director of services – and design guru - at mobile agency Bemoko, fills us in on lesson's learned at last week's Design for Mobile… It seems we missed an "inspirational conference".
• Also see this guide to mobile design with tips from the speakers at this event:
It's all about the design. Essential tips from user experience gurus
Think outside the screen
The problem with the way we use mobile devices today is that they suck us into their virtual environment, so we lose touch with the real environment around us. Kicking off the past week at Design For Mobile 2010 in Chicago, event organizer and president of Little Springs Design, Barbara Ballard, harked back to the Onion's take on those glowing rectangles that absorb us as soon as we place them in front of our eyes, causing us to lose touch with the environment around us. She points out that mobile designers/developers need to consider how we help mobile users to engage their other senses – i.e. not just sight and hearing, and to encourage phone usage that is more in tune (rather than in competition) with our surroundings in the real world.
This concept is easier to grasp when you think about how mobile phones might behave in the future. Take a look at the vision of Fabian Hemmert (Deutsche Telekom Labs) for a device that can change shape, size, weight etc, for example.
The importance of thinking outside the screen is underlined by the fact that mobile phones are not socially acceptable in many circumstances – driving a car, eating with friends or, arguably, wandering down the street with the augmented-reality app in front of our eyes. The experience of Michael Horn (Northwestern University) of using interactive technology in museums demonstrates that, when it's not properly thought through, apps can end up being too interactive and too focused on the device causing reduced awareness or even social isolation among the users.
With this in mind, designers/developers can enhance the mobile user experience, by making mobile apps more aware of and in-tune with the local environment:
• Pre-empt what the user wants based on what the device can tell us about the situation and location.
• Make interactions simpler by focusing information delivery – allow the user to filter information used by the device so it prioritizes data from sources we trust or people we like.
• Ask the user for less information (e.g. use platforms such as Facebook or Twitter) as one-click identification and personal data access tools. As Luke Wroblewski (Benchmark Capital) points out, as he outlines how to simplify information entry from users on mobile devices:
"Why make users enter their information again, haven't they already told the Internet their name?"
Design for mobile first
The many constraints of the mobile device as much as its attributes help to focus the design process. So much so that designing for mobile first, doesn't only mean you build better mobile sites/apps, but then when you then go on to build the same site/app for PC, it will also be much improved, by virtue of the discipline of the mobile design. This lesson was underscored by a lively panel discussion with Scott Jenson (Google), Luke Wroblewski and Steven Hoober (Little Springs Design).
Knowing the constraints of mobile helps to pinpoint that one thing the mobile user really wants to do. Josh Clark (Global Moxie), author of "Tapworthy, Designing Great iPhone Apps", expanded on this theme, sharing these tips:
• Think big, build small.
• Provide just enough to address the primary goal.
• Make complex tasks as uncomplicated as possible.
• Ensure every tap/click delivers satisfaction.
• Fiercely remove everything that isn't absolutely necessary.
By designing for mobile first, you are forced - naturally – to think about every function, interaction and sensory experience between user and device. This strict discipline provides an excellent foundation for delivery to every digital channel, where you should be equally be ruthless with your design.
For example, designing the Expedia TripAssist mobile app, which delivered radical improved user experience than offered on the PC, led to Expedia to rethink PC design.
Limit features to maximize user happiness
It's not always easy to keep it simple. Karlyn Neel (eBay) points out that keeping it simple requires making hard choices, exercising constraint and staying super-focused on those usage cases that make the difference. Challenge yourself - how can you make things easier and simpler?
Get it right and you will reap the rewards. eBay received US$600m sales via the iPhone app in the first year and received lots of positive user feedback, such as "I actually prefer using the iPhone app to the web site". There's a good account of eBay's facts and figures here.
Users request extra features because they like a product - that's a good thing – but it's important to ensure that adding these extras, or feature creep as it's called in the trade, doesn't impact usability or deflect attention from the raison d'être of the site/app. Josh Clark offers a whole host of design techniques that help to keep you focused on the core goals, while still allowing advanced users access to extra functionality.

text: It's difficult to recommend a TV movie like Ultimate Betrayal (CBS, March 20, 9-11 p.m.), since its subject matter makes it fairly excruciating to sit through. But then, that's also why Ultimate Betrayal is surprisingly worthy of respect. This film is based on a real-life case in which four adult sisters took their father to court for the physical and sexual abuse they suffered as children. Marlo Thomas, Ally Sheedy, thirtysomething's Mel Harris, and Kathryn Dowling (Ryan's Hope) portray the siblings. Henry Czerny is the father, a respected Colorado law-enforcement officer and child-abuse expert. The best thing about Betrayal is that it makes child abuse seem nauseatingly horrific, not merely the nasty bit of inconvenience that too many tidied-up-for-prime-time movies have depicted. Far from being luridly entertaining, the movie repulses with oppressive details of the father's acts, shown in flashback. Still, Betrayal is steeped in pop psychology; Eileen Heckart plays a therapist full of jargon about getting in touch with one's inner child, though the script, by Gregory Goodell, also lets us see the truth behind such cliches. All of the women in the cast deliver solid, restrained performances-in fact, this is the best work either Sheedy or Thomas has done in a while. But it is Czerny who really gives Betrayal its awful effectiveness: He's all grimly smiling evil. He is also the star of an extraordinary recent Canadian TV movie, The Boys of St. Vincent (yet to be shown on American television), in which he plays a priest who molests boys. Most actors would be afraid that two roles like this would lead to some depressing typecasting; Czerny seems to be a fearless actor, and we should be grateful for that. A-

Finding the perfect travel book
Longitudebooks.com, an online bookstore, brings order to the world of travel publications. While you can find much of what's here on Amazon, Longitude takes a more neighborly attitude toward travel reading, recommending "summer reads," "neglected classics," "food & wine"—all organized geographically. The site's "essential reading" list narrows the most useful reads for each region to four or five picks, helpfully grouping them at the top of the page. Can't find what you want? Call the store. Longitude can special-order your book and its well-traveled staff can recommend books for any trip.

I love that training wheels were a must, but clothing? Not so important.
OH MY GOD! possibly the saddest thing i have ever seen
if the kid shows up like this to school, theres a problem. if the kid is doing this just for fun, no big deal. i mean we all like to dress a bit kinky every now and then.
They must've blown the kid's clothing budget on those fake Crocs. Amazing investment.
it's laundry day
I'm with Mother of 4; that is just about the saddest thing I have ever seen. is that a Walmart bag?
Plastic bags shouldn't be anywhere near toddlers or infants. There are warnings on the bag
Without a back-story, there is a real possibility that kid dressed his or herself that way. Kids can come up with some interesting wardrobes.
I tend to agree with Plant-38. Kids really do wear the oddest things. I remember being about 6 and going over to a neighbor's house wearing a pair of underpants on my head – because I couldn't find my hat! I used to send a note to school with my children, disavowing any responsibility for their clothing choices.
Omg where are the parents to dress this kid. I would never let my niece outside like that.
Nobody picked up on
"No Helmet" for the child ?
I think if the kid dressed him/herself in a WalMart bag, got outside and started riding their bike without a parent or guardian stopping them… No, I think this is a complete parent fail. And, yes he doesn't have a helmet, but we are obviously too shocked over the lack of clothing to even notice head gear.
even if the kid did dress himself there is no excuse to let your child walk out the door like this, still a parent fail if that is the case
That poor poor baby.
I don't believe that this child dressed himself. Just look at his hair and how patchy it is, and he has something all over his right shoulder and arm, scars? Skin disease? Impetigo ? Very sad..maybe the bag is a punishment for staining his clothes, or peeing his pants…this screams abuse!
I bet the kid pulled his own clothes off and put on the bag. Little kids do that weird stuff. My neighbor's child would disrobe,and throw his clothes either on the roof or in the dog water bowl, then take off running down the street naked! It sometimes takes a while till that nudity taboo kicks in.
Too many pedo's out there even if this is innocent to let him go around like that outside.

Comments on Como
No travel article about Lake Como ["Best of the Italian Lakes," by Valerie Waterhouse, April] is complete without the inclusion of the magnificent Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni (1 Via Roma; 39-031/950-216; villaserbelloni.com; doubles from $657), in Bellagio. The service is impeccable and the rooms are lovely. While we were there, my wife and I looked at the cloudless sky and decided that it was not necessary to go anywhere but to two lounge chairs by the pool with a view of Lake Como. —Ron Kaiserman, Wynnewood, Pa.
The Constant Gardener
Dominique Browning ["How to Tend an English Garden," April] impeccably captures the spirit of gardening. My mom and I spent many summers sweating under a hot sun, covered in dirt, while tending to our plants. Nothing tasted better than the freshly ripened tomatoes we used in our homegrown Caprese salad. Browning has it just right when she says, "a garden can be the work of a lifetime, and...a lifetime can be immeasurably enhanced by coursing along with the rhythms of the seasons." —Megan Demaree, South Orange, N.J.
Joie de Vivre
The tongue-in-cheek tone of "Why Americans Love Europe," by Peter Jon Lindberg [April], was hilarious. When I'm in Europe, I also wonder if anyone has a "real job"—considering that the bars and cafés are usually packed with locals. At least many Europeans have their priorities straight; they know how to enjoy life. When I'm across the pond, I appreciate everything Europe has to offer—the magnificent architecture, plentiful museums, wonderful food, funky fashion, and great bottles of wine! —Travelandleisure.com member jmparish
Design for All
As an architect, I truly enjoyed T+L's "Design Awards 2011" [March]; your selections were spot-on. Travel is all about the experience, and good design and architecture—in planes, airport lounges, restaurants, and hotel rooms—play a central role. I especially loved Herzog & de Meuron's 11 11 Lincoln Road (Best Mixed-Use Venue), a service building that mixes parking, shopping, and culture in a fresh and sustainable structure. It really reflects the spirit of Miami. —Melisa Vargas, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
From Europe, with Love
I recently picked up your April Europe issue and thought Maria Shollenbarger's "Best New Restaurants in London's Soho" was especially insightful. I am British and lived in London for 12 years, so I know most of the haunts, but I was thrilled to see the new restaurants in the neighborhood. We are foodies and are definitely going to try Polpo, Polpetto, and the Wright Brothers Soho Oyster House. —Lindsay Hamilton, Jena, Germany

Electrolux 36' Gas Cooktop-Thoughts?
posted by: farmersdaughter_sf on 12.17.2009 at 04:59 pm in Appliances Forum I am shopping for a 36" gas drop in cooktop (not a range top). I was going to go with the DCS (CTD-365-N) because I have a DCS Range right now. However, when I went to look at it in person I noticed the grates have a notch in them to hold them all together which makes it near impossible to remove a grate with one hand for quick cleaning. I have a sneaking suspicion that this will drive me crazy. So I am considering the Electrolux 36" gas cooktop (EW36GC55GS) as an alternative. Does anyone have the Electrolux and can give me feedback? I love the DCS high/low simmer feature and sealed burners that clean up easily, so am especially interested in those topics, but any feedback would be helpful. Many thanks!

When it came to Vivian Burroughs' unique connection with nature, her grandmother always said, 'Mediocrity may not burn as bright as a firecracker, but it seldom blows up in your face.' But the old woman never advised her on what to do when a sexy new neighbor stokes the flames of attraction.
Jack Riley, a still-grieving widower, relocates from the big city to small-town Essex Woods with his young daughter, Elizabeth. His introduction to Vivian leaves him enchanted, but rumors regarding her abilities soon come to light. Is the local beauty a witch or merely the product of an eccentric upbringing by her mother Fred and Aunt Lil, identical twins with a penchant for mischief?
Jack is intrigued by the mystery surrounding the woman, considering the complexities of raising the precocious Elizabeth, a child with frighteningly accurate intuitiveness. As he reluctantly draws closer to Vivian, he also discovers how deep his daughter's gifts run. Can Jack accept the truth about his own flesh and blood, as well as a second chance at love?

I'm in the Syracuse area. So far the only thing I've gotten in the ground as far as vegetables go, is peas. I was hoping to get broccoli, kohlrabi, cabbage and cauliflower in past weekend, but it didn't happen. So I'll try again to get them in this weekend. I think the ground still isn't warm enough for other things like beans, tomatoes, peppers, etc. I usually don't get the majority of the veggie garden in until Memorial Day weekend and then continue to plant through the first week of June. |
I have my first planting of salad stuff in (lettuce, spinach, pepper grass, arugula, mustards, escarole), also peas, kohlrabi, carrots, radish. Got them planted in mid April but have had nothing but bad weather since - so nothing else yet. Went from being ahead of the game to falling behind, but I guess that is the kind of year we are going to have. |

I've had onions out since the end of March, I've also got peas that are about 7"tall, carrots, beets, lettuce, cole crops, bok choy, potatoes, and turnips in. |

I'm in Albany, I put out a bunch of Cherry tomatoes last week, and they've been doing well. I'm about to plant out the rest of my tomatoes and peppers tomorrow if the rain stays away. Would have done it today, but my daughter was sick all day with allergies. :( |

Planted mesclun mix lettuce, bok choy, leeks, romaine lettuce, last week and yesterday. Yesterday I also planted broccoli, spinach, beets, watermelon radish, cherry radish, carrots, cucumber, lemon cucumber, squash, japanese eggplant... don't think I forgot anything. I'm in the southern Vermont area, about an hour east of Albany, NY. I am new to all this so I am curious if I even did it all right. I started some Okra, direct sow, some bush beans and peas exactly one week ago today. The thing is, I am replanting some okra beans and peas from seeds I've soaked overnight and seeing if those ones do better. We had a few chilly days last week at the tailend. Anyone have tips! Let me know. |

It's a little late for lettuce, peas, broccoli, spinach, and radish, but they should still produce. Your spinach leaves might be small. Same with the bok choy. You'll have to watch them carefully so they don't bolt. It seems to be a fine line between when they are happy and when they bolt. The other stuff I'd say is quite timely in planting. I got the bulk of my plants in this weekend. So cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, Swiss chard, collards, and lettuce went in (all as started plants). For starts, I also planted sage and parsley. I also planted beans, beans, beans - all by seed! Next weekend I'll be finishing putting in the sections of the garden that are still barren and finding spots for the "tuckers." Those plants that didn't quite find a spot the first time through planting. Hopefully the bunnies won't get all the greens. Otherwise, I might have to think about harvesting them since I know they'll be well fed and pesticide free! |
I succession plant salad stuff (lettuce, various greens, spinach) all summer, just put it where it will get shaded, like behind the yard long bean trellis and on the north side of the corn plots. This works even better if you use started plants, though mostly I just plant seed. -Rosalinda |

I got everything in last weekend, everything is doing well so far... Cauliflower (Plants) I have a half shade area that lettuce plants are going in because it's already getting about 77-84 degrees out so they will stil do okay in the shady area. I'm up in Watertown. |

Still all new to this.. unfortunately my radishes.. the watermelon and cherry belle looked a bit like they've flopped to the ground and I noticed I don't see bulbing! Ah! You usually see the tops of them sticking out of soil right? I did not and still do not see them... It's been three weeks plus a few days and I think there's some sort of grub or pest eating the radishes since it looks like it's been eaten. Ordered some Beneficial Nematodes from this place in New York. Any thoughts? What do I do with the bad radishes..? The weirdest part is my radish tops are fantastic and lush looking. PS- I did thin out my radishes like as soon as they starting popping up too close to one another. Did I do it wrong? Let me know what to do! |
- Posted by TenGreenFingers 5a (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 12:24
Oh yes, and I thought I would add that my bok choy seems to be growing still but it's doing the droopy-ish thing like the radishes. |
- Posted by booberry85 z5NY (email@example.com) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 11:10
If your radish tops are lush, but they are not producing a radish bulb, it could be one of two things. You could be loving them too much; ie. too much fertilizer (nitrogen in particular). Try laying off the plant food. Secondly, how rocky is your soil? I have tons a bits of shale in my yard. It makes it hard to grow root crops. After years of amending the soil, I'm finally able to produce a decent radish. I have had little worms that get in the radishes and eat them too. |

Saturday Science Links: January 31, 2015
The pace of scientific discovery can be dizzying, but it always pales in comparison to the dizzying creativity of God that science discovers.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The pace of scientific discovery can be dizzying, but it always pales in comparison to the dizzying creativity of God that science discovers.
What happens when evolutionary creationists, old-earth creationists, and Southern Baptist theologians sit down publicly and talk about origins? At the 2014 meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, these three groups decided to find out. This four-part series is adapted from the three-hour dialogue, entitled "A Conversation on Origins".
The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
Creation cannot explain away its creator, it merely tells part of the story of him. The danger comes when we only need God for what we don't know, and, conversely, we don't need him in what we do know.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Conflicts, collisions, and comets are the theme in this week's Saturday Science Links.
Originally posted in 2011: Reconciliation is a much more demanding task than integration because it means an ongoing conversation between us and the unpredictability of how that ongoing conversation may affect each of us and our view of things.
For McGrath, nature is an "open secret...though open to public gaze, its deeper significance lies hidden."
Originally posted on June 11, 2012. Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
Is it possible to value humanity's place in the universe too much?
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
"The lack of a nuanced and public dialogue about how science can inform and deepen faith…is problematic for those who, like me, hold to the conviction that science and religion are not just compatible — they're soul mates," says outgoing BioLogos Web Editor Emily Ruppel.

The Disney Fantasy and Disney Wishes...to add to the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder...very cool...
SOURCE: http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/pro...222&ID=6520917
Copyright 2007 BusinessWireThe Walt Disney Company DIS plans to expand its successful cruise business by adding two new ocean liners, President and CEO Bob Iger announced today. Scheduled to launch in 2011 and 2012, the ships will more than double the passenger capacity for Disney Cruise Line to meet the sustained demand for Disney's family cruise vacations.
The company signed a letter of intent with Meyer Werft shipyard, based in Papenburg, Germany, to negotiate a contract to build the 122,000-ton new cruise liners, which will be two decks taller than the existing 83,000-ton ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder. Each ship will have 1,250 staterooms. Specific design plans and itineraries for the yet-unnamed ships are still in development and will be unveiled at a later date.
"Since our maiden voyage in 1998, Disney Cruise Line has been a huge success for our guests and for our shareholders alike," Iger said. "It has brought our unparalleled family vacation experience to the high seas, and has also generated high margins and double digit returns on invested capital. We're excited to announce the expansion of our fleet, which is a logical next step in what is a real growth business for us."
Disney Cruise Line established the family market within the cruise industry when the business launched in 1998. The first two ships were purpose built for families to reconnect and recharge while creating vacation memories that will last a lifetime. From a theater featuring live musical spectaculars to a luxurious spa for adults and nearly an entire deck dedicated to children's activities, the ships offer something for every member of the family. Disney Cruise Line continues to grow by attracting passengers who say they would not have cruised if it hadn't been for the Disney brand.
"Focusing on families has been smart business for us," said Jay Rasulo, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "More than 95 percent of Disney Cruise Line guests rate their cruise experience as excellent or very good. Families know they can trust us to provide a quality, immersive Disney experience. As a result, Disney Cruise Line continually sets sail with the highest load factors in the industry of nearly 150 percent."
Similar to the original Disney Cruise Line ships, the new ships will be a modern interpretation of classic ocean liners of the 1930s. Disney Imagineers drew their inspiration from the original trans-Atlantic ships that featured a dramatic black hull with two funnels and porthole windows. The profile of the ships, with its gentle curves at the stern combined with sleek angles at the bow, are reminiscent of the art deco designs of the era. To add whimsy to the classic design, the Disney ships have the same exterior color palette as Mickey Mouse with black, white, red and yellow. The new ships will feature elegant, detailed Disney scrollwork at the bow and will evoke images of the glamour of the golden age of cruising.
Tom McAlpin, the President of Disney Cruise Line, said, "This is an exciting time for Disney Cruise Line, and we are looking forward to working with Meyer Werft to blend our innovation and creativity with their fine craftsmanship. Meyer Werft has a long tradition of building magnificent ships. We are confident that the result will be ships that take the immersive Disney family-focused cruise experience to an entirely new level."
New itineraries
Disney Cruise Line, which traditionally offers 3-, 4- and 7-night Caribbean cruises, has also enjoyed strong demand for new itineraries. Trips to the Mediterranean and to the West Coast have recently set booking records within the company and booked 30-50 percent faster than the existing itineraries at higher prices.
"With a larger fleet, we'll have greater flexibility to offer a variety of itineraries," Rasulo said. "This is a business that our guests love, and we're pleased to give them more options to explore the world with Disney with two new ships."

Disney doubling cruise fleet
Port Canaveral views expansion of successful line as good news
FLORIDA TODAY The Walt Disney Co. announced plans Thursday to add two new ocean liners to its Disney Cruise Line fleet, enabling the company to deploy ships to new markets like California and Europe.
With 1,250 staterooms, the still-unnamed ships will be significantly larger than Disney's Port Canaveral-based Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, which have 875 and 874 staterooms, respectively. The new ships also will be two decks taller, the company said Thursday.
They are scheduled for service in 2011 and 2012.
"Demand for the cruises has been off the charts," Disney Cruise Line President Tom McAlpin said. "Clearly, our guests want to go to new places, and they want to experience exciting new ships.
"With a larger fleet, we'll have greater flexibility to offer a variety of itineraries," said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The long-speculated announcement of the additional ships comes prior to two special itineraries. This summer, the Disney Magic will sail European cruises for the first time. In the summer of 2008, it will return to California to offer a Mexican Riviera itinerary from the Port of Los Angeles. The company repositioned the Disney Magic for the first time to California in summer of 2005.
Disney said trips to the Mediterranean and to the West Coast have set booking records within the company.
Disney Cruise Line traditionally offers three-, four- and seven-night cruises from Port Canaveral to the Caribbean.
"No matter where they deploy the new vessels, it is positive for Port Canaveral that Disney's adding two ships," Canaveral Port Authority Chief Executive Officer Stan Payne said. "With four ships, look at all the scenarios. They'll probably keep two ships here. They won't have to move one to the West Coast. They won't have to move one to Europe."
Disney executives had said they had been waiting for the best exchange rate before committing to building new ships. But now is as good as any time, McAlpin said.
"We've been waiting, but when you look at the business, we could wait for five more years," McAlpin said. "The demand is there."
Specific design plans and itineraries for the new ships are still in development.
The 122,000-ton, 1,250-stateroom ships will be built at Meyer Werft shipyard, based in Papenburg, Germany.
Disney Magic and Disney Wonder each weigh 83,000 tons.
"We know the business is doing well, and we could lock in a deal," McAlpin said. "All the shipyards do a fantastic job, but Meyer Werft had slips available, and the price was right. Both the California markets and the European bookings have been successful. There's a depth to demand in a lot of different markets. The beauty of cruise ships is that they're mobile, and what this does is it provides more options for itineraries."
The new ships will be a modern interpretation of the Art Deco-style ocean liners of the 1930s.
Disney said its "Imagineers" drew their inspiration from the original trans-Atlantic ships that featured a black hull with two funnels and porthole windows.
"Since our maiden voyage in 1998, Disney Cruise Line has been a huge success for our guests and for our shareholders alike," said Robert Iger, president and chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Co. "It has brought our unparalleled family vacation experience to the high seas and has also generated high margins and double-digit returns on invested capital. We're excited to announce the expansion of our fleet, which is a logical next step in what is a real growth business for us."
There's more business for Disney than there's capacity for.
"Disney Cruise Line is doing very well," said Mary Waring, owner of MouseSavers.com, a Web site that provides savings information on Disney vacations. "I personally think they're two years late. They probably thought the Euro was going to drop, and now it costs even more. I have a feeling there's a bit of regret. It's four years before the first one will be online."
Waring said the demand for the cruise vacations is a result of strong branding.
"I think people associate the quality of the programs with the cruise line," she said. "And, certainly, people who know the product realize it's a great product for adults and families. A lot of the other cruise lines don't have that part down."
I'm also surprised by something else...
Anyone else surprised Disney isn't using the same Italian shipyards this time around, but using a German one?
Those DCL ships, Magic and Wonder, are beautiful ships...especially when in dock next to other cruise line ships. They have that ocean liner look of old during the heyday of the ocean liners, which was intentional I believe.
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
Okay, I heard the reason the Italian shipyards aren't being used again is that they are operating at full capacity through 2008 and possibly longer. So, it looks like a case of the shipyard not being able to take the work from Disney at this time.
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
Okay, to see the two current DCL ships and the two pending ones click here:
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
Carnival alone has 20 new ships on order. It's no wonder the Italian shipyards are busy!
So, when's the guessing game begin for the names of the two new ships? Disney Dreams has got to be one of them!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Conway, a Hagerstown Beagle/Feist puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Feist for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a Beagle/Feist puppy from a breeder in Hagerstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hagerstown 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 Hagerstown 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 Beagle/Feist breeders who help with Beagle/Feist rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hagerstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

WIMZ Salutes Axl Rose on His Birthday
Axl Rose, the lead vocalist and only remaining member of Guns N' Roses, celebrates his 50th birthday on February 6th.
Rose, born in Lafayette, Indiana, moved to Los Angeles in 1980. Upon moving there, he started a music career, but never found real success until 1985 when he merged his band Hollywood Rose with Tracii Guns' L.A. Guns to form Guns N' Roses. In 1986, Guns N' Roses signed with Geffen Records and in July of the following year released their first album Appetite for Destruction.
After slow sales to begin in the first year, the album would go on to sell 28 million copies worldwide. They followed this success with G N' R Lies in 1988 which sold five million copies in the U.S. alone. Three years later, they released Use Your Illusions I and Use Your Illusions II which debuted at number 1 and number 2 on the Billboard album charts.
By 1997, Rose was the only remaining member of Guns N' Roses. Rose would continue to rehearse and work on music with different sets of musicians, but a new album would not be released until 15 years after the last album. Chinese Democracy was released in 2008 exclusively at Best Buy.
On February 6th, WIMZ would like to salute one of the most influential front men on his 50th birthday. In celebration of Axl Rose's birthday, enjoy one of Guns N' Roses' greatest successes, "November Rain."

Josh Morris didn't pile up a lot of impressive statistics, but that really wasn't the goal.
Billings Skyview's sophomore quarterback made his first start, taking over for injured starter Shann Scott in Saturday's Class AA playoff game with Butte.
The Falcons needed Morris to manage the game, avoid turnovers and get the ball to the right people. Morris did that, mainly handing off to fullback Shawn Lebsock and halfback Derek Maciel who led the way in a 36-22 win on a balmy afternoon at Daylis Stadium.
The defending state champions move on to play Bozeman on Friday in the semifinals. The Hawks knocked off third-seeded Billings West 34-31 Friday night. Great Falls CMR and Missoula Big Sky play in the other semifinal.
The big questions coming in were how would the Falcons (10-1) react after sustaining their first loss, 48-41 to Billings West last week, and could Morris run the offense effectively?
"Shann's got some big shoes to fill, but Josh stepped up," Maciel said. "He didn't play like a sophomore. He played like a senior."
Even with a cut-down playbook, the Falcons still rushed for 449 yards. Lebsock gained 228 on 28 carries and Maciel had 152 and two touchdowns. The defense also did its part, recording five sacks and making two big stands in the fourth quarter.
"I was a little nervous," Morris said. "I had all the confidence in my teammates. We pretty much ran what we did in practice. After the first play, you get used to it."
"Shann could have gone if we had needed him," coach Ron Lebsock said. "Things were going well enough. He has a few more days (to rehab). We cut down the (play) list a little. Larry (Newell, offensive coordinator) did a good job calling the plays and getting the ball in the right hands. It worked out well. I'm extremely proud of all of them."

It was a rugged game and the Falcons expressed plenty of respect for Butte (4-7) which was tied with the Falcons at 22-22 going into the fourth quarter.
"They're tough," said Skyview's Nathan Wahl. "It must be something in the water there. They're always a tough team."
Wahl, who had a second-half interception, said the defense believed that the offense would score enough points.
"I didn't think that much about it (quarterback change)," Wahl said. "I have so much confidence in our offense. Josh proved he could play all week (in practice). He protected the ball. He came out and played great."
Maciel gave the Falcons a boost right way, scoring on a tackle-breaking 65-yard run on the Falcons' third play of the game. A 69-yard run by Shawn Lebsock set up the first of three one-yard scores by Morris. Morris' second TD and a two-point run by Lebsock pushed the lead to 22-7.
But Butte got some momentum just before halftime when the Bulldogs stopped Lebsock inches short of a first down at the Butte 45. Quarterback Matt Paul completed four of six passes in a span of 41.5 seconds. He found Jon Jourdonnais on a seven-TD pass as time expired to make it 22-14 at halftime.
Paul guided an 80-yard drive in the third quarter to get Butte even. Overcoming a sack and a false start penalty on the drive, Paul rolled out and found Todd Hildreth in the right corner of the end zone on a 25-yard play. Paul ran for two points to produce a 22-22 tie at the 1:42 mark of the third.
Skyview came back with a grinding 15-play march that featured Lebsock and Maciel, who blasted their way to short gains. The key play, however, was a fourth-and-three from the Butte 4. Corey Vannoy got the first down in a sweep to the one-yard line and Morris scored on the next play with exactly eight minutes remaining.
With Scott on the sidelines - he's also the kicker and punter - Lebsock ran for a two-point conversion.
The defense got the ball back after Butte drove to the Falcons 43. Paul threw two incompletions and then was sacked for a three-yard loss by Shawn Lebsock and Jeff Price.

On fourth down, Paul tried a screen pass to Kyle Osborne, who was immediately buried for a five-yard loss. The Falcons locked up the victory when Lebsock ran for 19 yards and, three plays later, Maciel covered the final 28 yards with another tackle-busting effort.
Despite the loss, Butte coach Greg Salo was happy with the Bulldogs' performance.
"Our kids played hard," Salo said. "When it was 22-22 in the third quarter, I was beaming. We were tackling and playing hard. They looked like the Bulldogs of old."

We are GRAVELY concerned about efforts under way at the state legislature to snuff out collective bargaining among Tennessee teachers. Some would call this a pay issue, and, of course, it is to some extent. But it is much, much more than that — and the outcome can have disturbing repercussions in every community in our state. Anyone who remembers the days before collective bargaining knows that teacher hiring was largely politicized and nepotism ran rampant in school systems.
Decisions, decisions.We face them with every breath we take. Sometimes, they're no brainers … we breathe in, and we breathe out. The most wonderful wife in the world has to remind her wayward husband to do it every now and again. At least that's what she says when I do something stupid that gets on her nerves. Needless to say, I comply with pretty much everything she says because I know she knows what's best for me.
Jack Jinks' first assignment was overseeing the Roane County Office of Emergency Services. Now County Executive Ron Woody has him doing the same at the ambulance department. "We're starting a little bit more hands-on management at the ambulance department because of some of the issues," Woody said. The ambulance department was a hot topic at the Feb. 14 commission meeting. Woody assigned Jinks to the department the next day.
A Roane County ambulance was one of the vehicles that got destroyed in last week's fire at Turpin Auto in Harriman. "It was our backup ambulance," Roane County Executive Ron Woody said. Woody said the loss shouldn't disrupt service. He said the county has five ambulances that run 24 hours a day and one that runs 10 hours a day. "If we were to have one to go out, the ambulance that just runs 10 hours a day would become a 24-hour ambulance," he said.

How does one become a member of Medic Regional Blood Center?
It's easy: those who have donated blood within the last year are automatically Medic members.
Being a member of Medic protects both donors and their IRS dependents. One blood donation a year exempts donors and their IRS dependents from paying blood-collection or blood-processing fees anywhere in the U.S. if a transfusion is needed.
This benefit can save a family thousands of dollars.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska lawmakers convened a special session Tuesday to consider new oil pipeline regulations, including legislation that would give the state greater say over the route of a proposed pipeline that would carry crude oil from Canada to Texas.
Although conservatives who are typically supportive of energy companies dominate Nebraska politics, many legislators and Republican Gov. Dave Heineman have expressed concern about the planned route of the Keystone XL pipeline through the Ogallala aquifer, which is a major source of drinking water for eight states.
Lawmakers are expected to consider a measure proposed by state Sen. Annette Dubas, of Fullerton, that would allow the state's Public Service Commission to determine whether such projects fit the state's economic and natural resource interests, and whether they protect the welfare of Nebraska residents.
The legislation carefully avoids addressing pipeline safety concerns, which are the purview of the federal government. Dubas said her bill, the Major Oil Pipeline Siting Act, aims to avoid constitutional and legal concerns raised by pipeline supporters.
"We do understand the federal government has jurisdiction over those (safety) issues," Dubas said. "We're not looking to step into their territory."
Lawmakers convened for 16 minutes Tuesday before adjourning for the day. The special session is expected to last about three weeks.
Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood said it's "possible, but not likely" that lawmakers will adjourn without legislation. Lawmakers can end the session if one member moves to adjourn and a majority vote in favor.
"I think lawmakers want to get through the public hearing process, and then make a decision . . . as to what should happen," he said.
Passing a bill requires a simple majority. But legislation that would affect the Keystone XL pipeline — scheduled for federal approval or denial by year's end — would have to take effect immediately. Such a proposal would need support from 33 of the Legislature's 49 members, plus Heineman's approval.
TransCanada, the pipeline's Canadian-based developer, said the project will reduce U.S. dependence on Middle East oil. But a coalition of environmentalists, land owners, and state lawmakers fear the pipeline could leak and contaminate the Ogallala aquifer.
The project has undergone a three-year federal review and is waiting for the U.S. State Department, which is involved because the pipeline would cross an international boundary, to approve or deny a permit that would allow construction to proceed.
The courts have upheld Congress' authority to regulate oil pipeline safety, and they may ultimately have to decide how much, if any, influence individual states can exert over pipeline routes. Lawyers for TransCanada and for those who oppose the Keystone XL project have submitted conflicting arguments in legal briefs on the subject.
If Nebraska were to pass legislation that would give it control over pipeline routes, it would almost certainly be challenged by TransCanada or other states that would benefit from tax revenue the project would generate.
The $7 billion, 1,700-mile pipeline would carry oil derived from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas. The pipeline would travel through Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.
Jane Kleeb, executive director of the anti-pipeline group Bold Nebraska, said Nebraskans who oppose the pipeline generally wanted legislation that would address eminent domain concerns for pipelines and spell out state authority to move pipelines away from ecologically sensitive areas, such as the Ogallala aquifer. Kleeb said she was surprised Heineman had not yet offered a proposal of his own.
"I think it's shocking that Gov. Heineman wasn't here today," Kleeb said. "If he was serious about what he said — that the pipeline through the aquifer is risky, that the route should be changed — then he should have been here today. Instead, he's nowhere to be found."
State Sen. Bill Avery of Lincoln said he will introduce two additional bills this week: One that would require TransCanada to post a $500 million bond for the state if the company fails to clean up a spill, and one that would require companies to get a permit before they could use eminent domain to make way for projects like the Keystone XL.
Avery said his proposals would apply to all pipeline projects in Nebraska, and not just the Keystone XL. He said lawmakers would likely introduce four to six bills dealing with various aspects of pipeline regulation. Hearings on the bills begin next week.
