US Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ms King opened the 2011 Annual Conference of the Fleet Forum on March 23. The Conference, hosted by UNOSAT in Geneva, discussed latest developments in technology to assist humanitarian organisations with fleet tracking and logistics management, a field of expertise developing rapidly within the humanitarian community as aid delivery becomes more challenging and complex.
The Conference ended on Friday 25 March with a dedicated workshop on the new service for fleet tracking named HumaNav. The service became operational in early 2011 after one year and a half year of development supported by France's Space Agency CNES and various partners among which the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). HumaNav consists of a technical support service end to end powered by NOVACOM Services of France, a leading firm in navigation and fleet tracking technology integration, and a "HumaNav Community" gathering the organisations using the service in a homogeneous group where experts and operators can discuss their common requirements and provide indications to improve the service.
More than 80 fleet and transportation experts from UN agencies, NGOs and private companies attended the Fleet Forum Annual Conference which was supported by the Swiss Confederation and a few private sponsors.
About HumaNav: HumaNav is both a community of experts and operators and an integrated fleet tracking and navigation system developed by UNOSAT and NOVACOM Services during a trial period in which the partners worked with UNHCR, ICRC and others with support from CNES. The particularity of the system is that it is built as an integration of available commercial solutions assembled in order to respond to the actual needs in humanitarian fleet tracking.

My complaint is that it is FREEZING... Not COLD BUT FREEZING... I think I need Mittens at work!!
I called the travel agent who tells me the ONLY other room available is opposite the elevators. Now, do I take a room opposite the elevators which will be busy 24-7 or opposite the guest laundry? Which would you choose?
I still think there are other rooms. I told her when we booked that we had never been on a cruise before and she thinks she can snooker me.
My complaint is that global warming is messing with everything!
---OH, and a good thing, this is one of the fastest growing threads!--
I have got any complaints yet... I may be back later - or may be not!!
#1 - Bobby isn't here :sweat:
#2 - On Thursday, I am supposed to have my wisdom teeth pulled and when I went in for my consultation, I wasn't impressed with the doctor...he seemed very distant...this is making me VERY NERVOUS...I don't know what to do. Max had his pulled at the beginning of the year and went home with 4 meds and very little puffiness and brusing...i will only go home with a pain killer (and not even a very potent one I just found out!)...Normally my gut instinct is pretty good...and i'm very queasy about this...a lot of people are saying that I'm over reacting...I cant afford to have trouble with my mouth (my career depends on my mouth being able to work...i need to talk and sing)...AGHHHH WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!
#3 - I have to sit in this boring class again!! with this doofy professor that thinks that Panera Bread poisoned him by selling him a rancid panini...OMG!!! Oh and then he was loading his bag into his car and he thinks he broke his hand (DOOF)...no puffiness or anything!!
#4 - Slow drivers
#5 - People that sit quiet and don't speak their mind when they know something is wrong...people that don't ask questions...ASK WHY SOMETHING IS OR IS NOT BEING DONE!!! It's better to live 30 great years instead of just existing for 60!!
#6 - Melis hasn't handed me a brown paper bag yet this morning!!! Thanks a bunch darling!!!
You are definitely having a bad day. Take a deep breath. All will be fine. How long have you been going to this dentist?

This product was one of the first that I had used for increasing volume in my hair.
I believe that it did the job just fine. I would scatter the powder around the crown of my head and found that it gave a sense of fullness to my style.
With this being said, it did seem to add heaviness to my hair which wasn't necessarily ideal when freshly washed. I found that the product became very sticky when rubbed in (as specified). So if you're looking for comb-your-fingers-through soft free-feeling hair, look elsewhere.

I have very fine and damaged hair. It is thin and needs all the help it can get... yes this product does work and creates good volume but I found it was only good for an hour or two. It did create a bit of static but nothing too drastic. It is okay to use but it leaves a sort of powdery rough texture on your hands which I hate and have to wash off. But to get volume into your roots pushing it in with your hands is effective. I wish it lasted longer in my hair! I don't think I will repurchase because I am after a product that lasts a bit longer than this.

My hair is fine, long and flat. Maybe even too fine, since even the tiniest little bit of this stuff turns my roots into a knotted, stiff, dull, vaguely gluey mess. Made the big mistake of falling asleep before washing out the powder. When I woke up, it was 1985 and I was playing guitar in a hair band. (Okay, maybe that didn't happen, but wow... the hair! Still untangling it.)
It did provide some lift, though!

My sister calls this product "hair crack" because once you try it you will be addicted. This product gives amazing volume and texture. A little goes such a long way - I have had the same teeny tiny bottle for a year and I use it almost every day. It works especially well on short hair and gives you volume that you can adjust throughout the day with your fingertips. My only complaint about this product is that it gives your hair a chalky texture, making it hard to run your fingers through it.

I have mixed feelings about this product. I have fine hair (but a lot of it) with a tendency to get very flat. I'm in the process of growing out a pixie cut and my hair is now at the length where it really needs help with volume. When I first put this in it looks great - does exactly what I would expect of it. But I find that it doesn't last all day and as my hair settles it actually looks greasy - it's lighter weight than a dry shampoo but doesn't promise any of the oil absorbing properties of one. I wish it would last without looking built up.

I like the idea of this product, but it just doesn't work for me.
I have longer than shoulder length, very fine but a ton of hair. Since my hair is so fine, I really need something to add a bit of "muscle" to the roots.
This is not the product. I think it would work great for short, layered hair.
I will not say this is the worst product I've ever used, but it just didn't do what I was hoping it would.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Combination, Medium, Cool Hair: Grey, Straight, Medium Eyes: Hazel
Description: This powder is described as a weightless formula that gives instantly visible and long-lasting volume.
Directions on container: Shake a small amount into your palm and rub hands together. Apply on dry hair, focusing on the roots and then style as desired. For an extra volume boost, shake powder directly onto dry hair and roots, using your fingertips to work it in and then style as desired. Start with a small amount. Add more if required.
My experience: My hair is grey and I currently have a short pixie cut. I'm always looking for something to give texture and piecey-ness without looking as if I'm trying too hard. So far, after a week of daily use, I love it.
After blowdrying my hair, I apply a couple of shakes of powder to the palm of my hand, rub my hands and fingers together, then ruffle my fingers through my hair, lifting the roots a little and mussing things up a bit. I then quickly finesse it, which doesn't take long. I've discovered that over-styling backfires and have learnt when to stop!
It adds just the right amount of separation and body to make my hair look less boring, without it looking as if I'm desperately trying to be a trendy, quirky baby boomer.
Other comments: The container size is very handbag/purse friendly so it's easy to carry around for touch-ups. The powder is white but disappears and turns almost imperceptibly, slightly sticky on being rubbed in. It isn't as sticky or wet as hairspray nor as thick as a styling pomade.

Driver in car-pedestrian fatality had drugs in system
by Lori Caldwell email@example.com | 648-3259 January 10, 2013 12:08PM
Jesus Barajas of Pangere Corporation chips away at tile flooring by a plumbing trench as renovations are underway to transform the former Osco drug store to a Community HealthNet site at the corner of 61st Avenue and Broadway in Merrillville, Ind. Thursday January 10, 2013. With nine exam rooms, the center will provide primary care services, as well as, pediatric, obstetrics and more. | Stephanie Dowell~Sun-Times Media

GARY — A Gary man died late Wednesday night when he was struck by a car as he crossed 4th Avenue near the Adam Benjamin Metro Center.
Will T. Watson, 36, who lived in the 600 block of Maryland Street, was pronounced dead at The Methodist Hospitals Northlake campus shortly before midnight.
The driver, Lucius Mayes Jr., 22, of Portage, is the son of veteran Gary Patrolman Lucius Mayes. Police arrested the driver after a blood test showed traces of marijuana and cocaine in his system.
Watson died from blunt force trauma, a spokesman for the Lake County coroner said Thursday.
Although police dispatched to the scene were told the driver had fled, when Patrolman Nicolas Deem arrived, the driver was there.
Police learned Watson was walking north across 4th Avenue at Broadway when he was struck.
The crash is being investigated by Cpl. Agnes Roberts. Anyone with information can contact her at 881-1217.

That's wonderful news!! So glad you and your family enjoyed your first trip. I can't wait for my first one!
My husband, 10-year old daughter, and I just finished our first trip ever to WDW and I am feeling mixed emotions. I feel so happy that we had an AMAZING trip, but depressed it is all over.... We left last Thursday and returned to home this afternoon. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge which was fantastic. There were 14 of us in all at the resort. 10 of them were from my husbands side. We had the best time of our lives. I did a lot of research and talking with others before we left so there are a lot of things we experienced that were great because of that. Research is key when visiting WDW for the first time! We enjoyed a carrot cake cookie from the Writer's Stop, Dole Whips from Frontierland, extra magic hours at MK, Fantasmic at HS, and much more. It was great knowing what rides to go to first or get a FastPass for (Toy Story Mania, Rock n' Roller Coaster, Soarin, etc.) and which ones that are always easy to get on. We rode 98% of what we wanted and when it rained we headed straight to the busy rides and got on within 15 minutes (Test Track). We saw the Electric Parade and fireworks at MK, which were my favorite. We also experienced the fireworks at Epcot and Fantasmic at HS. I ordered trading pins on Ebay before we left so my daughter had 25 pins to trade while we were there. We booked reservations for Crystal Palace and Boma before we left which was great advice. I wasn't sure if we would want to go to any of the 3D shows while at Disney because I didn't know what to expect, but I am sure glad we did some of them. Our favorites were Muppet 3D and Its Tough to be a Bug. They were awesome and a nice break when you need to sit for a minute in air conditioning! The character spots at Camp Minnie Mickey at AK was great because my daughter met ALL of the major characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Daisy, Chip and Dale, Goofy) for autographs and pictures within an hour to hour and half. It was well worth it! We saw Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet at the Crystal Palace for autographs and pictures and the food was well worth all of the money. Go at lunch time and save some money! Thank you to everyone who posted tips and tricks at Disney! I enjoyed researching and it paid off ten-fold. I am sad it is all over, but look forward to a trip again soon!
That's wonderful news!! So glad you and your family enjoyed your first trip. I can't wait for my first one!

Meal Plans to Get Cut
Note: I don't want to tell you exact amounts to eat or drink (for example: 8 oz. chicken breast or 12 oz. skim milk, etc). Rather, we just tell you the food or beverage and it is up to you to determine what is enough.
As a general guideline you should never over-eat or drink to the point where you feel like throwing up to gain mass or depriving yourself of food or liquids to cut up. These are the absolute wrong ways to diet and will only hurt you in the long run. To gain mass or to get shredded you want to have at least 6-7 meals a day, but the two different diets is determined by how much you eat at one time. Even when you cut up, you need to constantly eat to supply your body with protein and to prevent your body from going into a catabolic state, in which it feeds off of itself in order to supply its body with nutrients. The more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn to maintain it. Furthermore, if your body knows that food is coming it will use that food as readily burned energy. When you don't eat for long periods of time it stores that food as body fat to be preserved for food in a later time in the day. Often times it is not used as energy so the fat accumulates.
Also, you should be drinking at least a minimum of 1 gallon of water a day. Whether you are gaining mass or cutting up, your water consumption should not change. Water is the one of the most important nutrients your body can get. In addition, try to incorporate a variety of juices (ex: orange juice, apple juice, vegetable juice, etc) into your fluid consumption to meet daily nutritional needs.
MP45 is the perfect step-by-step diet program that tells you exactly what to eat for every meal to get you looking lean and shredded in the fastest time possible. You also get a full workout program that details the most effective exercises to do. This is the type of nutrition and training followed by many of the world's top athletes.

By participating in the ICADS' semester long Field Program, students gain research experience in both the natural sciences (forest ecology, agro-ecology, soil sciences) and social sciences (anthropology, history, economics) while learning to address environmental issues from a multidisciplinary perspective. Students are provided with the analytical tools and research expertise to make meaningful contributions to ongoing work in the area of "sustainable development," with the recognition that workable solutions to environmental conflicts can only come from an understanding of the intersection between community needs, ecosystem dynamics, and political-economic systems.
The Field Program is divided into 3 blocks:
Block I
(5 weeks): Spanish and Latin American Perspectives on Justice and Sustainable Development Semester Course
Study in San Jose and the Central Valley. Students live in San Jose with Costa Rican families, and study Spanish for four hours daily. In afternoon sessions, students learn about different topics in social and natural sciences through related readings, guest speakers, and field trips, as well as fieldwork on urban issues. One week in Block I is spent in Nicaragua where students are able to see first-hand the current economic and political conditions in Nicaragua, and are challenged to compare and contrast its reality with neighboring Costa Rica.
Block II
(4 weeks): Field Projects - Ecology of Managed and Natural Ecosystems
Students carry out brief social and ecological research projects while living and traveling together primarily in rural communities. A short stopover in San Jose is included to allow students to conduct research for their independent study projects, prepare written reports, and lead group discussions. In Block II, students visit 3 to 4 different areas within Costa Rica where they learn about a diversity of ecological zones and systems of regional development. Some of these destinations may include the wet tropics in the Atlantic Lowlands, the Cloud Forest in the Talamanca mountain ranges, the tropical dry region in the Guanacaste province, and the Northern zone. Topics and field sites vary from semester to semester in response to new study opportunities and environmental conditions.
Topics studied in the Field Program include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The roots of underdevelopment, particularly Costa Rica's dependency on transnational companies and First World governments
- Natural and managed ecosystem dynamics, with emphasis on the origin and maintenance of biodiversity
- The tools for measuring health of ecosystems via floral and faunal indicator species
- The environmental and economic implications of plantation agriculture, small-scale farming, ecotourism, bioprospecting, and national park management
- The impact of export-oriented development on family structure, class hierarchy, and racial divisions
- Strategies for conserving natural resources (e.g. organic agriculture, agro-forestry and sustainable extraction of timber and other products from forests), facilitating community organization (e.g. women's groups, farmers' cooperatives) and promoting local control over systems of production (e.g. home gardens, marketing cooperatives).
Block III
(5 weeks): Independent Projects and written work
Students return to one of the previously visited field sites to conduct in-depth research on a topic of their choice. They independently develop research proposals, collect data, and analyze their results. Topics may emphasize either the social or natural sciences. Students are encouraged to develop projects that have practical value for their host communities or organizations. During the course's final week, students prepare written reports and give oral presentations of their research findings.
Research Project Examples from Fall 2011
- Edge effect is an important phenomenon for study and can tell us a lot about the effects of deforestation, not only on the deforested area, but on the forest itself, as its effective size shrinks due to non-forest conditions along its edge. Many forests have been cut in Costa Rica to grow monoculture crops like pineapple, as has been done in the Southern Pacific region. Josh will be studying the diversity of bird, insect, and other vertebrate species in a forest and along two of its edges (near a cattle pasture and near a pineapple farm) to determine the impact of edge effect in the forest.
- Stream health is of vital importance for the general health of larger ecosystems, as aquatic invertebrates are part of the necessary foundation for the diversity of other species. On the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, streams also feed into coral reefs near the shore and serve as important resources for local communities. Timothy will be measuring the diversity of aquatic invertebrates at different points in a stream in this region to determine the effect of gray water and agricultural runoff on the aquatic ecosystem.
- Around the world, humans use land to make a living. In many places, cattle ranching and farms that cause soil erosion and runoff into streams dominate land use. Erosion not only strips the land of its fertile topsoil, but sediment runoff chokes streams that provide water to ecosystems and communities. Michelle will be studying both sediment load and aquatic invertebrates in several streams in the Southern Pacific zone to understand the possible effects of different land uses on streams, and to contribute to important monitoring work that should be done on streams everywhere.
- Cacao production on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica has faced many challenges in the past decades, from the arrival of the monilia fungus to the challenges posed by an economy increasingly relying on tourism. One generally less-researched problem to cacao production is the vertebrate pests that attack the pods: parrots, woodpeckers, squirrels, and monkeys. Maura will research the prevalence of such pests on a farm that grows cacao in order to make recommendations to farmers for maximizing time and effort in managing those pests.

Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert)
"Lena doesn't want to be any different from anyone else but yet she is. Her taste is different. She's more serious, she's more studious, she's smarter than your average teen. Her clothing kind of reflects that slightly darker, more serious tone, because she's brooding. But still it has a certain fashion edge to it," Kurland says. "You see a little vintage [edge] to her. The lengths of her skirts are longer than most of the other girls, she doesn't wear jeans." Kurland even designed Lena's ball gown to fit the formal dress code of a pivotal Caster event while still representing her personality. "I designed the top of the gown as a man's shirt might look, open and loose, which I felt was more her style," he explains. Kurland did incorporate one special wardrobe piece from the book into the movie. "Lena's necklace is definitely there, she wears it all the time. It's a charm necklace that I made. She's only 16 but she moves from town to town and collects little pieces from everywhere she's been."

Mage solos Naxxramas Military Quarter
This crazy stunt comes from the same crew that pulled off the two-man Loatheb kill, and uses another pretty funny gimmick. This one uses a combination of Spellsteal on specific mobs, a talent called Incanter's Absorption, and a talent called Burning Determination.
The Bone Armor that is cast by the Death Knight Cavaliers was able to be spellstolen, and it absorbs 1,200,000 damage. You could get up to hundreds of thousands of points of spell damage, in theory. In practice it probably comes out to much less than that most of the time. Still, as you can see from the video, 100,000 spell damage was completely possible. Burning Determination was necessary because those same mobs like to spam Strangulate.
I say 'was' because this has already been hotfixed. According to the comments on Wowhead, they really didn't waste any time fixing it. There were some people who had it crap out on them in the middle of soloing Razuvious, because they suddenly couldn't spellsteal the buff anymore.
This video just goes to show just how creative players can be. The developers and QA team probably didn't even think this combination of spells and talents could do anything remotely like this. Without Incanter's Absorption, spellstealing that Bone Armor would have never been a problem, and it's a talent most players wouldn't take in a PvE build. All it takes is one player saying, "What if..." to start a wildfire in the WoW community, and that's what this did. How many Mages do you think went and tried this after seeing the video? All of them.
I gotta give props to the crew that did this video and the Loatheb kill, they're a mighty creative bunch, in that vaguely exploitative way. They should change their guild tag to <Quality Assurance>.

Online, I ordered heirloom Jonquil bulbs that have been freshly dug.Since they are blooming now, I requested that the stems remain as I would be planting them immediately. I received them today and the stems have been cut almost all the way down to the bulb. I have always left on my stalks after blooming so I am not sure what to do about planting these. Since most of the green stalks are gone, I thought of potting them up shallow for now with whatever green left is exposed to the sun. I am concerned that if I plant them in the garden now at the proper depth everything from the cut off stalks will be buried and may rot or not bloom next year. We are still having some freezing nights and I thought if the bulbs are potted shallow for now, I can bring the pots into the garage on below freezing nights. Will this work? Can any one advise me of the best way to make sure these bulbs survive and bloom next year? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is it just the flowering stems that have been cut off? Or have the leaves been removed too. If the former I'd just plant them at the depth they were before. If they came from a similar climate to yours the weather shouldn't hurt them. I've not heard of Narcissus being moved 'in the green' before except in an emergency (eg house move or something). |
Thanks for the reply! All the greenery has been cut off to about one inch above the bulb. |
I wouuldn't expect them to bloom next year (or maybe for 2 or 3 years), this has got to be a severe sugar depletion for the bulb (unless it was growing in a greenhouse and is about to go dormant). Daffs are very tough and survivors, so will probably make it. |
Well, I don't think it would hurt to try to pot them up as you were saying, get as much sunlight on them as possible. I personally wouldn't do it because I have a tendency to overwater bulbs in pots & they rot. I did dig some daffs up a couple of times shortly after flowering & they did bloom the next year. Another time I had to move some common heirloom daffs just after blooming & it was 3 years before they bloomed. In each case I moved them with the foliage intact. Hopefully you will get lucky & they will bloom. |
Thanks, I did pot them up and hopefully they will do O.K. |

Why would they do this? I could see this for a bulb like a Lycoris or Crinum, that never truly goes dry-dormant, but not a Narcissus. Why not just ship at the typical time in late summer or fall? |
- Posted by donnabaskets 7b-8 MS (My Page) on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 21:59
I must say that I would never order from this company again, and might go so far as to request a refund. This makes not one lick of sense! |
It was on Ebay and the seller is only one state from me(just a few hundred miles) so I requested the greenery remain.They were advertised as freshly dug and they were. My plan was to plant immediately and the bulbs would have the greenery to store energy for next years blooms. His ad stated free shipping. If I had known the greenery would have been removed, I would have paid extra for him to leave the I had no clue they would arrive chopped off. I learned a valuable lesson. Background as to why..... I have always wanted heirloom jonquils like I see blooming on old homesteads and farms. I have never had luck with modern bulbs naturalizing in my garden. Last week I was driving a little south of my home and saw thousands of these jonquils blooming everywhere. It was on a certain stretch of highway and I was mesmerized. I never saw anyone to ask if I could have or buy some from them. Old House Gardens did not have them available and Brent and Beckys did not have them so I in my impatience, decided to |

Totally understandable. The jonquils are fabulous this year. Maybe because we had more cold than usual. I would suggest you get a copy of Garden Bulbs for the South by Scott Ogden. It will save you a lot of time and aggravation. |
Donna, Thanks, I will look into that book. My initial research was that these may be lent lilies but I now think they are Campenelle jonquils. The stems are very narrow and rounded like a reed. The bloom is yellow 2 inches in diameter. The total height is 12-14 inches for the stems. The trumpet is short. I have not seen any where I live but one hour south and thousands are blooming. |
This post was edited by lsst on Wed, Mar 12, 14 at 20:49
O.K. Campanelle is probably out as I just read that it is mostly sterile and its greenery is flatter and bluish green. These bulbs were all over the place. I would see drifts of hundreds and then one lone bloom right next to the highway. |

HYDERABAD: Even as the trial court on Monday extended Jaganmohan Reddy's judicial custody by 14 days till June 25, the CBI sought permission to subject him to narco and other tests. Charging that Jagan was not at all cooperative and reluctant to reveal anything despite persistent questioning about his assets, the investigation agency filed a petition in the CBI court seeking permission to conduct Polygraph, Narco and BEAP (Brain Electrical Activation profile) tests on both Jagan and his auditor Vijay Sai Reddy.
In its memo filed before principal special judge A Pullaiah on Monday, the CBI said that during the questioning while in their custody, Jagan did not reveal any tangible information about 'the chain of transactions (of the deals that he had struck), the individuals involved and the overseas accounts".
The memo also asserted that 'Jagan is the repository of the entire information, documents and the details of the hawala transactions and he is not revealing any of it." The memo was filed by H Venkatesh, SP, CBI who is the chief investigations officer in the case. The CBI further contended that Jagan was cleverly derailing the process of investigation by saying that it was Vijay Sai Reddy who "is in the know of most of the transactions, documents and information."
Pleading its case, the CBI memo contended that administering new scientific techniques does not cause any bodily harm and the information extracted by these methods will be used only for strengthening the investigation and such information may not be admitted as evidence at the time of trial. The memo suggested that such scientific tests are a softer option to the "alleged apprehension of third degree methods by the investigators."
Polygraph and BEAP tests are the methods which respectively serve the purpose of lie detection and gauging the subject's familiarity with the information relating to the crime, the SP said. These are confirmatory in nature, he added.
Not surprisingly Jagan's counsel Ashok Reddy objected to the plea of the CBI arguing that filing such a petition was strange in view of Supreme Court's ruling that these tests are illegal without consent from the individual concerned. It was stranger because the CBI's plea for such test on Vijay Sai was dismissed by the CBI court already, he said. The judge asked Ashok Reddy to file their counter and posted the case to June 14 for hearing.

Rap Beats
What to Look for In a Website that Sells Rap Beats
If you are an aspiring rapper or hip hop artist, you may search the internet looking for rap beats to get you started.? After all, it is all about the beat.? Do a standard internet search online and you will get many results; there are many websites that sell beats for rap online.? When it comes to making your choice, which website should you go with?? Here are a few helpful tips to help you decided.
- No waiting:? It is the day of the internet and fast downloads.? You shouldn?t have to wait to get your rap beat.? Buy the beat and your download should start automatically.? The only instance in which you should wait is if you decide to purchase yours on a CD.
- Large Selection:? Thanks to the internet, it is easy for just about anyone to toss up a website and make a few bucks.? You want a website that has a good selection of instrumentals and tones for your rapping.? A site that just gives you four or five choices isn?t worth your time.
- Preview:? It is a known fact that we all have different tastes.? One music song that you think is the ?best in the world? can be hated by another person.? That is why you never want a website to just tell you ?this is great.? You want to hear it for yourself.? At the very least, you should get a few seconds of previewing free of charge for all the rap beats.
- Price:? Finally, it is important to consider price when choosing a website to buy or download rap beats.? If you are an aspiring rapper, you are likely like most aspiring musicians and working on a limited budget.? If so, you want to spend your money wisely.? Shop around and ensure you are getting a great deal.? Sometimes you will see the same beats on different websites, but with different price tags.
In short, if you want to get a few rap beats to do your stuff to, it is a good idea to opt for a website that has fair prices, lets you preview the music, has a great selection, and doesn?t make you wait.? So what are you waiting for?? As previously stated, there are lots of sites out there so get rapping.

Best David Blodgett Poems
When things go wrong as they seldom will, When the road your on seems to be all up hill. When the funds are low and the debts are high, you want to smile but can only sigh. When care is pressing you down just abit, rest if you must but do not quit. Life is strange with it's twist and turns, as we all in life will surely learn. Many of failure turns us about, When we might have won if we just stuck it out. Don't give up when all seems slow, you may succeed with just one more blow. Success is failure turned inside out, only the silver tint from the clouds of doubt. You never can tell how close you are, but it may be near even when seems so far. So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit- It's those times that seem hard that you should never up and quit. Thank you for the encouragement To my brother mike; your the best!!!!

Debian Lenny on Android Phones
Thanks to a hack a few days ago, BusyBox has been running on the T-Mobile G1 mobile phones with Google's Android platform. Now Jay Freeman, alias saurik, goes a step further: in his blog he describes how to install Debian Lenny by way of root access on the device.
All is well, according to Freeman on his website, because Debian already supports ARM EABI. EABI stands for Embedded Application Binary Interface developed by ARM to be the interface port for the same-named 32-bit microprocessors.
Freeman established a special hacker's mailing list to discuss the G1. The steps to your own Debian phone, however, are not trivial. Among other things you have to add a filesystem to the kernel and pack root into a filesystem image that you then mount on Android's 16-Gbyte FAT.
Beginners beware of such experimentation, unless you inherited a trust fund. Parts of the world where G1s are not yet available can only watch as those that do have them promptly turn them into bricks. The next updates to the device are already on the way, so Freeman advises users to play with it "while you still can." Unfortunately saurik's website doesn't show pictures of the result of his successful hack.

I plan to replace approx 4000sf of established bluegrass turf with drought tolerant grass. My research to date indicates that Sodar Streambank Wheatgrass would be a good choice for my location (Pocatello, ID, 4,450ft, 10" - 15" rain). I plan to use roundup, rototill, add nitrogen, and seed my first 1000sf plot this spring. If that goes well the remainder will be converted next year. I also have 4 acres of native hilly terrain currently populated with sagebrush, some type of bunch grass, lots of thistles and a wide variety of other weeds that I hope to work on over time.
Advice/suggestions would be welcome. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Good choice on seed for your area. Don't rototil. You'll just bring up weed seed and a bumpy lawn as it settles. If you can, rent a slit seeder and seed your streambank wheatgrass with it. Also if you're planning on using fertilizer to get the seeds going , then something low in nitrogen and higher in phosporus would be better as phosphorus helps establish roots in the seedlings. Fertilizer vendors label it as 'starter fertilizer'. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cita!
Facts about Cita
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/German Shorthaired Pointer Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Cita's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Cita! A 100% Mexican Mutt!! (The breeds selected are only our best guess.)
Cita loves to play with all kind of dogs and she's even ok around kids & cats!
Cita came to us as an orphaned puppy. Her awesome foster parents in Mexico made sure she was properly fed & socialized. Cita is now approx 4 months old and ready to find her forever home.
** The Penny Foundation receives many adoption applications for puppies. We always look for the best possible match for the dog and put the dog's needs before the adopter's preferences. If you apply for a certain dog but we feel a different applicant's home is best suited for that dog this doesn't mean you wouldn't provide a loving forever home for a rescued dog. We are happy to work with you to find a great dog that will better suit you and your situation. Our volunteers can still perform your home check and if approved you will be considered pre-approved and the next dog that that matches your situation can be placed with you immediately. **
Cita is already spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and on heartworm preventative.
If you would like to meet Cita please fill out an adoption application at, www.penniesfordogs.org/adoption_application.html

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

White Sox fans ready to 'appreciate the game'
BY STEVE METSCH firstname.lastname@example.com April 12, 2012 9:36PM
Shon Canty, of Chicago's South Side, wants to wear a new Sox jersey to Saturday's game, the first one ever that his son, Zachary, plans to attend. | STEVE METSCH~SUN-TIMES MEDIA

A White Sox team that used a take-no-prisoners "All In" as its battle cry one year ago now sounds like it's taking tips from Dr. Phil.
The new slogan, "Appreciate the Game," has some Sox fans scratching their heads.
"We appreciate if you show up and buy tickets? We need to pay our bills? This Ferrari isn't getting any cheaper?" Frank Castro said.
Although the slogan may be confusing, Sox fever ran high in Chicago's Bridgeport community on Thursday. Friday's home opener vs. the first-place Detroit Tigers starts at 1:10 p.m. and the natives are restless after a mediocre 2011 season.
Castro hopes fans appreciate not only the game but the free rides to and from U.S. Cellular Field that Rocky's Sports Restaurant, 234 W. 31st St., offers every game for the restaurant's patrons.
Castro manages Rocky's, which opens at 10 a.m. Friday and will host WMVP-AM (1000) from 2 to 6 p.m.
To attract more fans, Rocky's has an ad on a bench strategically located across 35th Street from the ballpark.
"It does help get people in here," Castro said.
They have "mixed reviews" of the 3-2 Sox, he said.
"I've heard from a lot of hopefuls. The team is showing a lot of promise," he said, "but I'm a hopeful myself."
Everybody is hopeful on Opening Day, said Pete Powers, who owns Grandstand, a sports souvenir store at 600 W. 35th St.
"This team is a lot better than people are giving it credit for. There is a sense of calm, especially with all that's going on with Ozzie in Miami. People are saying, 'Thank God it's not our problem,' " Powers said, referring to former Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, whose praise of late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro earned him a five-game suspension from the Miami Marlins.
Baseball experts don't expect much from Guillen's former team. Sports Illustrated picks the Sox dead-last in their division. That's OK with Powers.
"This can be a contending ballclub, no question about it. One thing I noticed, in the first five games, is we seem to have runners on base all the time. That jumped out at me. A.J. (Pierzynski) already has two homers. He hit his second on May 22 last year. I think the guys are more relaxed. Last year, it was 'All In,' and there was a lot of expectations on these guys," said Powers, 52.
Perhaps Powers is on to something. As he spoke, Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" played on the store's sound system.
Shon Canty, of Chicago's South Side, stopped in to beat Friday's crowds and shop for Sox gear for his family.
"Which one should I try, the white one or the black one? Pinstripes do make me look thinner," said Canty, who bears a striking resemblance to retired Sox slugger Frank Thomas.
Canty bought a white jersey with black pinstripes, not the retro white and red jerseys the team will wear for Sunday home games.
No matter what he wears, Adam Dunn will have a better year, said Abel Tamez, 28, of Bridgeport.
"After the year he had last season, he can't do any worse," Tamez said.
Dunn, a big-money bopper, batted an anemic .159 with 11 homers last season.
As rare as a Dunn homer was something spotted at Morrie O'Malley's Hot Dogs, 3501 S. Union Ave.: a Cubs fan in Sox territory. Sitting on a stool, wearing a Cubs hat and jacket, was Bill Reidy.
"Midlife crisis," whispered friend Bob O'Malley, who wore a Sox hoodie.
Reidy lives in Bridgeport and grew up Sox fan. But Sox board chairman Jerry Reinsdorf angered Reidy in the 1980s by threatening to move the team to Florida unless a new ballpark was built. Reinsdorf got his wish, and Reidy got the Cubs.
"I was happy for the Sox in 2005," he said of that year's world champs.
Asked when his Cubs will do the same, he said, "Maybe they'll win when Jesus comes."
Friday's game is sold out, but standing-room-only tickets still were available as of Thursday for $75.

Martin Audio ASX Subwoofer
Jun 4, 2009 3:51 PM
The new ASX floor-mounted active installation subwoofer that will be on display at Martin Audio?fs demo room (W202C) during InfoComm 09 is fully capable of producing the highest SPL ever from a single low-frequency enclosure housing a single drive unit. The massive ASX enclosure46.85??x23.62??x46.85??(WxHxD)houses a patented 21in. transducer, Class D amplifier with 8.5kW peak power, and full DSP, revolutionizing ultra-efficient low-frequency sound reproduction. Combining the transducer, amplifier, and DSP doubles the output capability of a conventionally driven loudspeaker driver of the same size. When incorporated into a Martin Audio Hybrid horn design, the complete system can deliver an unsurpassed 152dB peak output (measured) from a single enclosure. This is typically greater than what can be achieved by two 18in. conventionally driven, reflex subwoofers.

Lincoln Aviator
Just wanted to get this link started as I need all info on new 2003 Lincoln Aviator. After 4 Explorers, 1 Expedition with a May, 2002 lease expiration, I am in the market for the new Lincoln SUV.
I am the owner of a 2001 Lincon LS8 Sport which is the best car I have owned (including Mercedes and Audi) I had the privilege to tour the Wixom assembly plant with the LLSOC Club in October and the reduced line speed resulting in quality of assembly has convinced me to seriously consider the Aviator.
News known so far: DOHC V-8 (4.6?), all wheel drive available, first public showing at New York Auto Show in March. I am interested in knowing any upgraded options available at introduction. I know price will be announced later, but believe it will be competitive with Explorer Limited with perhaps Aviator-unique doo-dads.
Is anybody else interested?

smwls8 Posts: 103I have been scouring the web for Aviator pics/info with not much luck. I have enjoyed my 2000 LS 8 very much, but with child #3 due May 2002, an SUV is on my list.
Although the LS has not been perfect(both rear windows/mech replaced) over all it has been an awesome ride.
A recent issue of Car and Driver magazine had a disguised photo of the Aviator, and they also reported the DOHC 4.6 engine as an option(Cobra engine or Lincoln Continental?)
The most impressive thing about owning a Lincoln for me has been the dealer service. Loaner/rentals have been provided for EVERY oil change and warranty service, if given an opportunity I would give Holman L-M in Pembroke Pines, FL a perfect CSI.
Keep up the good work Jerry.

diploid Posts: 2,286Yes marsha, the Aviator is basically an Explorer/Mountaineer. Like the Mountaineer, which has a standard V-8 (thus more standard power than Explorer), the Aviator will probably be more powerful.
I guess the people at Ford realized that if GM's GMC division could sell a Yukon that's the same as a Chevy Tahoe but with more power, while still getting people to buy a Cadillac Escalade (which is also a Tahoe in underneath- but much more powerful), then it would be smart to do the same with the Explorer/Mountaineer/Aviator. -
acuramdx Posts: 1With the Navigator all that lincoln did to it was slightly adjust the styling, raise the power and make the interior much nicer. The explorer/mountaneer and such good selling cars and they have top of the line production facilities for both of them. With those facts I would say that it will definately be based upon the explorer/mountaneer. I think that it will be a mountaneer with less radical styling and a nicer interior.
karzz Posts: 151I would expect the Aviator to be to the Explorer what the Navigator is to the Expedition. The Navigator has an exclusive engine and more high-end interior appointments not available on the Expedition. The Aviator is supposed to have a 32V, 4 cam V-8 and an "indulgent" interior.
I doubt if the Aviator will have much of an affect on the Mountaineer since it will no doubt sell for much more and appeal to a different demographic.
The 2002 Mountaineer by the way appears to be selling extremely well with November sales up 89% over last year. -
diploid Posts: 2,286"The 2002 Mountaineer by the way appears to be selling extremely well with November sales up 89% over last year."
As it should! It's actually quite a good looking vehicle, but so is the new Explorer. And with seating for 7 (standard), it appeals to a lot of people.
greg- thanks for the clarification. But why did they do it? -
audia8q Posts: 3,138I have seen the Aviator. not lucky enought to drive it.
the interior is very high tech looking...lots of brushed alum and a floor shifter...it is very impressive and clearly not like an explorer.
The exterior clearly has Explorer/mountaneer lines but different enough to stand out...
I will try to upload the pics I expect to get in a few days.

marsha7 Posts: 3,676Hopefully some interior shots will be available.. I have altered my opinion of my friend's explorer, when I rode in his new 2002 after he traded in his 1998...the 2002 rides like a dream, which shocked me...however, being anal like I am, I am not a fan of columns, I really like floor shifters, like in my Sable...a floor shifter in an "explorer" would be an improvement...any idea which engine the Aviator will have???
audia8q Posts: 3,138The Aviator is expected to have a floor shift..The unit I saw had one. The engine is the 4.6 V8. I have not heard the Horsepower numbers yet. I'll keep you posted.
I agree that the 2002 Explorer/Mountaneer is a huge improvement over last year. I can't think of any SUV that is nicer to drive than the V8 Mountaneer...I hope the Aviator even takes this to the next level..

hairong Posts: 153marsha7,
The 32V 4.6L has been used in several Ford/Lincoln cars: SVT Mustang, 305-320HP, Continental, 265-280HP, and Mark VIII, 290-300HP. A very good car engine. Aviator will be its first application in a truck. I would expect it to deliver more than 270HP (GM's 4.2L I6 of the Blazer), but less than 300HP, (making it lower than the 320HP of Navigator's 5.4L V8). As of Torque, I am guessing it will be close to 300 lbft, if not over. If these figures are true, it will be a class leading engine for sure. Otherwise, there is just no point to put it in the Aviator at all, IMHO. -
karzz Posts: 151I agree with Hairong's assessment of the 32v 4.6L.
Since this will be a SUV application of the 4.6L, I expect the engineers will trade some peak HP for a flatter torque curve for better towing capabilities, etc.
So if I had to guess I would say that the HP will be around the 280-290 range and torque around 300 lb-ft. The engine could easily do more than that (like in the Cobra) but I think they will tune the engine for peak power at lower RPMs, something more suitable for an SUV.
I wonder if the engine will be teamed with the 5 speed automatic. That engine with a 5 speed auto would be quite a combination. -
hairong Posts: 153As a side note,
BMW X5 4.4's engine is rated as 282 HP & 324 lb-ft
Mecedes ML430's is rated as 268 HP & 288 lb-ft
I think these are on par with what Aviator will be offering. But these two are selling around $45k, I don't know if Aviator will compete with them directly.
From what I've heard so far, everyone is saying, including PAG chief Dr. Reitzle, that the Aviator has a fantastic modern interior. I just hope its exterior styling is as good, and different from Explorer and Moutaineer. -
karzz Posts: 151The Wall Street Journal had an article on luxury SUVs 3 weeks ago. In that article an auto analyst was quoted as saying the new '03 Navigator has the best designed and highest quality interior of any vehicle in North America. Sounds like the Aviator will also have an impressive interior.
karzz Posts: 151I noticed the '03 Navigator has moved the shift lever to the center console. Popular Mechanics said the Aviator will also have a floor shifter.
Here is a link to info on the new ;03 Navigator. It might offer some clues to what the Aviator will be like. -

audia8q Posts: 3,138The latest Job 1 info on the Aviator...
June 3 2002 the first production unit rolls off the line...Expect a 30-45 day quality hold before shipping to dealers.
The interior photo's I have did not come out well...but those of you who have seen pics of the 2003 Navigator interior will find the Aviator very very similar!!

SBE States Opposition to Live Code EAS Testing
SBE States Opposition to Live Code EAS Testing
Indianapolis - May 25, 2007 - The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) announced its opposition to the use of real or live NWRSAME codes for system tests of the public warning system by National Weather Service (NWS)/NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) and some local authorities.
Alerts from the NWS, some local authorities and the Emergency Alert System (EAS) using real emergency event codes, when no actual emergency exists, have recently been used in some communities to test consumer receivers. The NWS is recommending the practice be expanded nationwide. While stated NWS policy establishes that approval for NWS live code testing is up to the state and local EAS committees, some committees are not being consulted or do not understand that they may decline the request. Local emergency officials also may not fully understand the implications of the request and may participate without realizing the serious negative results. The SBE asserts that these cry-wolf alerts will potentially cause public alarm, weaken confidence in the EAS for real alerts and discourage broadcaster's involvement with volunteer EAS programs.
Broadcasters and cable systems decode the EAS data and send the information directly to scrolling messages on TV screens and radios. One result of live-code tests would be that TV's viewed by the deaf and hard of hearing, and TVs in public places would not show any indication that the message is not a real alert. In addition, those receiving emergency messages through the Internet, PDAs, cell phones, programmable road signs, highway advisory radio, lottery terminals and shopping center marquee signs will not know the message was simply a test. The SBE says the negative effect of live-code testing outweighs the benefits of testing the public's weather alert radios.
The SBE notes that there is a national effort to update EAS and NWR data standards with a technology called Common Alerting Protocol (CAP). CAP will allow a visual scroll of the same information as in the audio message, and the SBE suggests that such a technology--when in common use--will be better suited to live-code tests.

Is the watermelon radish an heirloom or hybrid? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not familiar with this one, at least not under that name. What was your reference for it? If you saw it in a catalog, it should be identified if it's a hybrid. FWIW, incididentaly, the differentiation is hybrid vs. open pollinated. Heirlooms are a subclass of OPs, basically being open pollinated plants with a lot of time in grade. Fifty years is the usual figure used. I mention this because there are a lot of great-tasting open pollinated veggies that have not, as yet, reached heirlooms status but which are well worth growing. |
- Posted by sqftgarden_in_wnc 6b/7a (My Page) on Thu, Dec 21, 06 at 19:53
Saw it on Ebay. I'll do more research after the Xmas crunch. Thanks for the info about OP. |

You may wish to also ask in the "asian vegetables" forum at gardenweb. These are Chinese radishes. They only form large roots if they are sown in the Fall; otherwise they quickly bolt (but bolting leaves, stems, flowers and young seed pods make good greens, for a radish) Mantanghong and Red Sun are two F1 hybrids offered here "Shinrimei" appears to be an open pollinated variety: "Red Meat" appears to be an open pollinated variety from: I once got some "Misato Rose" from "www.thecooksgarden.com", but it appears to be no longer in their catalog. |
- Posted by sqftgarden_in_wnc 6b/7a (My Page) on Fri, Dec 22, 06 at 18:35
I'll have to check out that info and see if there's something I want to plant come spring. Guess it sounds too late for the ones I mentioned if I want the root and not just greens. I started some beets for greens, waiting and watching to see how they do. |
Hi Sqftgarden, There is a regular Watermelon aka Rose Heart radish. That is open pollinated. I've grown it a few times and it is very nice. I either bought my seeds from Pinetree or Baker Creek. Just recently I've seen hybrid varieties in other catalogs. I'm not sure why. I really haven't read the fine print. The OP is just fine, unless they are claiming better growth in hot weather or something. Remy |

I wrote: > These are Chinese radishes. They only form large roots By the way, I do not mean to imply that all radishes originating from China have to be sown in the fall for good root production. Only that those radishes within the "watermelon" heritage have to be sown in the fall. Some others also have to be sown in the fall, but many Chinese (and Korean) radishes may be sown in spring or summer. |
It's in the 2007 Burpee's catalog as an heirloom from China, with a 60 day season. It's gorgeous. I was thinking about trying it this year. Does the long season mean that it's one of the aforementioned Chinese varieties that require fall planting (not mentioned in the catalog)? |

I just bought a couple pkgs of this one. On the package it says, "....winter radish also known as Red Meat and Continental Fancy". There is no mention on the pkg, or in the descriptions that says its hybrid, heirloom, or OP. This company normally lists "hybrid" as such on the packaging. So, my guess is that its NOT a hybrid. Regards; PS Any traders?? |

I just heard back from my seed supplier, Ed Hume Seeds, and they said, re: waatermelon radish: "hello, it is an open pollinated fall type radish that is bigger and slower to mature than standard forcing types, thanks, Joe" Hope this helps. Regards; |

Thanks for the info. I just saw one sliced by a TV chef, the first time I had heard of it. Too bad it is almost spring. I suppose it wouldn't do anything except maybe grow some greens. I might try it anyway. With the strange endless weeks in the 40's, who knows what might develop? Global warming along the Gulf Coast, I suppose. Somewhere along the line I missed what "OP means in the |
I guess I just saw the same show. Iron Chef secret ingredient fennel. The "watermelon radish" they used was beautiful. I am definitely getting some. I know I already had them marked off in one of my catalogs. I think it was Fedco. Pretty sure it is an OP. |

The Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne is a popular real-time strategy game that not only has been around since 2005, but is also a tournament favorite in the e-sports circuit. Gaming peripheral company Razer recently announced that Singaporean team PMS Asterisk*, an all-girls team for Dota, will be joining the company under the Team Razer brand.
PMS Asterisk*, a Singaporean-based branch of female organization Pandora's Mighty Soldiers, is an all-female Dota team formed in 2005, founded by Tammy "furryfish" Tang (also in charge of community, e-sports, and social networking at Razer) and Dawn "pinksheep" Yang. They were the only female team to compete in the World Cyber Games 2008 grand finals and were the top 16 finishers at ESWC Paris in 2009.
Other e-sports teams and personalities under the Team Razer banner include Team Liquid, SlayerS clan, and Linda Liao. Earlier in May, GameSpot Asia did an interview with founding member Tammy "furryfish" Tang.

Hi Mike! Hopefully someday I'll get to go to my first Mousefest, but for now I'm stuck in school.
Hi Mike,
I'm not sure that I qualify for a first time Mousefester. I went down last year on a daytrip and attended one meet and that was Lou's TriviaFest. I was sort of new to the online Disney community so I really didn't know what to expect from Mousefest last year.
This year will be my first year of a full Mousefest experience. And somehow I still don't know exactly what to expect but since I'll not only be attending but co-hosting a meet as wel I'm sure it'll be a blast!

This will be my first mousefest, I do believe that i am over the 48 inch minium to ride also.
If not, you can wait with Lou until everyone else is done riding!!This will be my first mousefest, I do believe that i am over the 48 inch minium to ride also.
a dream is a wish your heart makes.......
D23 Charter Member
The reason I am asking about first time Mousefesters is because I am planning to hold a Mousefest Primer on Thursday to cover a number of points regarding Mousefest, a little history, a brief overview of the land schedule, and some guidelines on what to expect and a few tips on how to make the most of your time there.
There will also be a Q & A session as well.
Mark Goldhaber will be co-hosting this event along with me.
The current plan is to hold this event at the Tomorrowland Terrace area, which will be used much later during the land portion for something even more important...Triviafest.
Sounds like fun, I am actually traveling solo so It would be nice to meet some new people to hang out with.
I'll be there, attending my first Mousefest!! Can't wait -- it sounds like so much fun!
I was a first-timer last year, and I enjoyed it! I didn't enjoy the mouse mega meet on Saturday, it just wasn't my thing, so I won't be going to that this year, but the rest of the events I enjoyed!!

I've never been and I'm on the fence about attending as well. I've never traveled solo to WDW. I really just cannot imagine going by myself. I've heard all of the people who do it and all of the reviews, but to me WDW is about spending time with my family. I realize that everyone is nice and there will be plenty of group events. I just cannot quite picture myself going alone. That being said, I do have my plane flight booked and a rental car reserved.....Anybody else feel this way?
P.S. If I make it, I won't make it in until late Thursday pm, so I won't be able to attend the Primer. It does sound like a good idea, however.
I will be a 3rd time Mouse Fester assuming I make it this year, but I still feel like a newbie. I don't know yet which days (if any) I can make this year, but I will certainly try to be at any part of it that I can possibly manage. Personally, I love the idea of having a Primer event, and I wish there was one the last two years for my sake. Heck, if I can make it that day, I might just attend it anyway, just to see what it's all about.
And to all the folks out there saying they aren't sure about going solo... I do solo trips all the time and love them. And besides, going during MouseFest... it's hardly going to seem like you're on your own at all. Both years I've gone so far I've met some fantastic people who have sort of buddied up with me and I ended up with travel partners for much of the time, even between the group events, or while strolling from park to park for example. My first year I went solo. My second year I brought two friends, but they weren't with me for the whole time. Both times I had a blast, and will go back in a heartbeat if I can make it this year (even though I will most likely be going solo again this year).
