This has been a great stroller for us. We take lots of long walks and our little girl has been very comfortable to take a long nap while we walk. She can completely lay out in it. The steering is marvelous! If you have uneven sidewalks, you'll love the smooth big tires. We have gotten tons of compliments on her stroller, even from non-parents.
The Pros
Gorgeous and unusual.
The Cons
Too big for tight stores when shopping.
This pram has been fantastic!

I LOVE THIS PRAM! It has been so faithful - being used nearly every day for 2.5 years - I've never had a prob! It is great for walking, even on dirt tracks and feels safe and sturdy and is easy to steer.
The Pros
*It's size and weight make it feel safe and sturdy.
*Very easy to steer
*Love having bubs facing me which is unique to prams
* Nice looking classic pram
The Cons
* Very heavy - couldn't fit it in the car without taking wheels off so gave up and just used it for walking.
*It can only take a toddler and baby for a short time before they outgrow it.
* Some of the press studs snapped off
* The hood thingo occassionally needs tightening with a screwdriver but not a big deal.

We purchased this pram for walks around our community. We have dirt/stone roads which makes for a very bumpy ride. This pram glides over our roads and our son doesn't get bounced around. We purchased it when he was about 2 months old, he's going to be 2 soon and he loves this stroller better then the graco we have. The large flat lying seat is perfect for changing baby while out and about instead of using the germ infested public changing tables.
The Pros
Large roomy seat.
Suspension with 12" bicycle tires.
4x4 turning wheels.
The Cons
Quite heavy and bulky for everyday in and out of car use.
Great newborn pram

After months of searching for a pram i decided upon this one. it looks great, comes with many accessories and is a very sturdy, safe pram. baby would sleep for hours in the pram as it has so much space to stretch out.
now that baby is getting a bit older (4 months) i am hating it. too much of a hassle to get in and out of the car. the seat recline only has 3 heights - flat, almost flat and fully upright (baby hates it). i'm now thinking of selling this pram and getting a 3 wheeler. this pram is fantastic for long walks but not great for shopping trips.
The Pros
looks great
steers like a dream
very spacious and comfy for baby
fantastic accessories
height adjustable handle
The Cons
way too heavy
takes up too much bootspace
too big for aisles at shops
basket not deep enough and shopping falls out
nothing to hang shopping on handle (i spent $30 on a pram caddy only to discover the handles are too wide to attach it)
Love it!

Overall I have loved this pram as has heaps of room for bubs, can get to huge shopping basket while it's fully reclined without waking baby. Extra large hood is great. Great looking pram
The Pros
Beautiful to push
Great Suspension
huge sunhood
Adjustable handle
Heaps of room for bubs
The Cons
*Very large and very heavy-I had an emergency c-section with alot of problems after and it was 6 months before I could lift myself to put in the car.
*Needs 4 reclining positions and the 2nd one isn't much above flat but the 3rd is a 90 degree angle
* Handle can make hands grossly sweaty on warm days-my Maclaren stroller handles do not
* After 8 months of use-only one footpaths, shopping centres etc, the brake/steering mechanism broke and had to be sent back. We ended up being given a new pram and just this week it has happened again! after another 12 months but doesn't get alot of use as I use the stroller more now. And of course the warranty has run out! I am not happy as I wanted to use it for baby no 2 but have to buy a new pram!
Quality English nanny looking Pram

I hadnt had to buy a pram for 13yrs! so tended to look at the solid ones that I remember were all that was around back then!
I bought my Bertini when my Son was 3 months older after settling for a cheaper copy version( and hating it and selling it 2 months later)
Ive always loved the Old fashioned English Nanny looking prams and this was quality at its best!
Its roomy,comfy,and is very quality looking.
I had all extras,sleeping bag,carrycot etc, all beautifully padded.
Large nappy bag also doubles as a changing mat as it has a removable pad
The only drawback is at 17kgs,not easy putting in and out of the car if your doing a few different shopping stints.Think this is fairly obvious though when you are looking to purchase it.
Fantastic walking Pram
As a comparison to the latest trendy bugaboo etc, theres plenty of room for shopping! underneath, easy to access and if youve got a large boot to accomodate the pram,it doesnt have to go into 2 parts to get it in!
Switching from forward to rearward facing is simple to do, just a matter of lifting off the bassinett and turning it around.
Would of easily lasted till my son was 4(hes now 2) but time to move onto a stroller(Yuk)
Ive always been into Prams,thats just my thing,like how some men are into cars, so Im dying to see some reviews for the new Stokke that your slowly starting to see around.
I would say my general observation will be, theres no room for shopping and without having a split handle, no way any bags can even go on the handles
The Pros
Beautiful looking Pram
Comfy,Plenty of Room
Only 4 wheel steerable Pram on market
Made really solidly
The Cons
Heavy to put in and out of car frequently

I loved this pram the second that i saw it! I originally wanted an Emmaljunga pram but there wasn't a model that had a steering mechanism, unlike the bertini. What also grabbed my attention was the cocoon for baby, the tire pump that attaches to the tray under the carriage, the adjustable handlebar, the storm cover(that covers the entire pram, not one bit of the fabric gets wet!), the stability of the four wheels and the hood which can be pulled all the way over for privacy.
It is a very spacious pram on the interior, I liked knowing that baby had plenty of room. On many occasions, when I have been out, I have changed a nappy or two! It has a three point recline so if baby fell asleep sitting up, i could lay her back down with little disturbance. The carriage is also reversible for when baby is older.
I also have purchashed the toddler seat and a parasole that clips onto any part of the pram.
The steering mechanism is fantastic! Feels like a three wheeleer, but more stable. It is also ideal for walking/exercise, the suspension is a dream, not rough and rocky for baby.
The Pros
Four-wheel steering for smaller turning area.
Suspension and pneumatic tyres give a smooth ride.
Height-adjustable handle.
Optional toddler seat available.
Wheels easily removed and replaced when placing in smaller boots.
Cocoon can be removed so as not to wake baby.
Stability of a four-wheeler.
Large stowage basket underneath.
The Cons
the press studs on the storm cover needed to be repaced, a couple of then were too tight and snapped off, but were quickly sent off and replaced.
will only fit through disabled aisle in supermarkets. can be inconvenient at times, and people think you are pushing in.

"But it doesn't matter- this invite looks great! Received many compliments on the invitation, but if you are looking for something with raised glitter this does not have that."
"This card is perfect for pre teen or really any age "girly girl" at heart. The colors are so vibrant. I chose a pearl top finish that gives a hint of shimmer. We also ordered the silver envelopes and matching address labels. They are awesome about letting you customize all these little details so it reflects your taste and is exactly what you want! My daughter loves these and was so exited to send them to her friends."
"Beautiful colors, great quality... our daughter's 1st birthday invitations turned out just perfect! We were able to use our favorite photo on the front and placed our second favorite pic on the back with a sweet message. So pleased with the finished product. Tiny Prints offers extraordinary customer service- we forgot to note the event time on our invitation and Tiny Prints contacted us before printing- they are wonderful!!!!"
"The paper is high quality, the printing is perfect. All I can say is thank you for making my invitations perfect for my party. I am more pleased than I can even express."
"I love the textured paper it makes it truly interesting. My party theme was not pink and black and because of that I believe there should be more color options. The ecru background and envelopes truly give it a royal feeling. Arrived on time. Envelopes were not the right ones (probably my mistake) and they sent the correct ones for free."

The West End has launched a promotions drive to generate interest in Theatreland during the Olympics and the rest of 2012.
The Society of London Theatre has unveiled a new campaign – Don't Miss The Real Show in 2012 – to promote shows and special offers.
It follows a warning from the European Tour Operators Association that a slump in group reservations for UK visits during the games could have a negative effect on theatre bookings and a Radio 4 Today programme interview with Andrew Lloyd Webber over Christmas, during which the composer predicted that the Olympics would cause "a bloodbath of a summer" for London venues.
In a statement, SOLT said that it hoped to "maximise opportunities arising from extra visitors" by working with partners including the Mayor's Office, LOCOG and Transport for London.
As part of the campaign, 2,012 volunteers selected for the Mayor of London's Games Ambassador Programme are to be given free theatre tickets in January and February so they can experience London theatre, in the hope that they will champion it later in 2012.
SOLT also plans a number of events and promotions, including expanding its annual West End Live and Kids Week events and "early bird" offers during the summer.
Mark Rubinstein, SOLT president, said: "London's Theatreland enters 2012 in excellent health, with our current Get Into London Theatre promotion already taking more than £1million. However, we are conscious that the year ahead will be uniquely different and present a new set of challenges, which means it may not be an easy year for many of our members. We are working hard to deliver the campaigns, information and infrastructure required to encourage and enable millions to enjoy a night out at one of London's outstanding shows alongside the excitement of the games and beyond."

I am finishing a landscaping project and will have strawberries in a raised bed. Anyone able to weigh in on whether bare root plants put in now will survive the winter and be ok in the spring or if I just have to wait until spring? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd give it a try. If it fails, you can just start over in the spring, it if works, you'll have spring berries. |
They should be fine. I'm transplanting many runners this fall to a new bed. I do not want to wait till spring as that will disrupt berry production. Having them settle in now makes a lot more sense. |
I had emailed a couple of experts (one in MA, one in ME) and got no reply, haven't renovated my bed yet (!) and runners are growing into the lawn and the vegetable garden on either side. Think I can move some plants to the new (extended) bed DH prepped for me last month? Mow the old plants after thinning? Or just don't mow anything since it's so late (first frost could be any day, though next 10 days look good after tonight's low of 40 or so)? |

You can move strawberry runners anytime, and can plant new starts anytime, provided the ground is not frozen. Scott |
Thanks Scott, but this isn't just placing the runners where I want them (though I can do that with some where the end of the old bed meets the other end of the new bed - just have about a foot in the middle to dig out after I move wire hoops). Can I dig out mother plants with runners and transplant them all this late in the year, or is that going to stress them too much? Maybe if I transplant at all, remove the runners so the transplant can establish itself? I guess I can let runners root in old carrot and squash beds they're creeping into and just move them in the spring but DH wants me to move or cut the ones starting to hang into the lawn ;-) |
September is the month recommended for setting out new plugs for plasticulture here in IL. My plants here don't go dormant until late November, so they have plenty of time to settle in. In fact, my problem this fall has been the unseasonable heat. |

I was recently given a used air compressor. Unfortunately, I was not given a manual. No big problem. I figured I would just get on the internet and find one. In looking over the air compressor I could not find the name of the manufacturer other than a sticker that says "Contractor Choice Air Compressor." It is 5 HP with a 22 gallon tank. I could not find anything with a google search. Does anyone know anything about this air compressor or know where I can find a manual? Thanks in advance. |

Ignore the label on the air compressor. Look for other information about its serial number and model. I'm going to guess that you have something like a Campbell Hausfeld air compressor that has been re-branded. I just put a new piston/cylinder assembly in my CH "5 hp" air compressor. Cost about $60 and I spent an evening watching football and installing the assembly. |

Who am I? Why am I here?
by David Rothstein
I'm finishing up my fourth day at Acquia, and in thinking about how to introduce myself, one phrase immediately jumped to mind: "Who am I? Why am I here?"
Those somewhat-awkward-yet-charming words were famously uttered by Admiral James Stockdale, a surprise candidate for Vice President of the United States in 1992, in his first introduction to a national audience. I have to admit I feel a little bit like Admiral Stockdale, plucked from obscurity and suddenly thrust into the spotlight. Although I've been actively involved in developing for Drupal the past several months, I'm still pretty new to the community.
In what seems to be a bit of a trend among recent Acquia hires, I have a background in physics (mine is in astrophysics) and am coming to Acquia very much from outside the web development industry. I got involved with Drupal because in the course of doing scientific research, I was also building websites that focused on science education and public outreach, and I eventually learned that (a) collaborating with an open source community is way more fulfilling and productive than writing code on your own, and (b) Drupal is a lot of fun. I was quickly hooked.
A fortuitous set of circumstances came together to bring me to Acquia, and I'm excited beyond belief at the opportunity I have here. I'm amazed at the people I have a chance to work with, both at Acquia and in the larger Drupal community, and I'm eager to learn from them. I hope that in time I'll be able to do my own part to help both Acquia and Drupal achieve great things for the world.
I know how you feel - I went from a PhD program in particle physics to webmaster of a public university.
One piece of advise I will pass on - which you probably know. As scientists we become very used to arguing and debating the merits of ideas, theories, etc. without taking it personally - 'attack the argument, not the man'. I have found this not to be the case in 'the real world', even with folks whose background should have included critical review like graphic arts, music, etc.
I rapidly learned to choose my words very carefully...
Good luck,
Eric Aitala
"I was quickly hooked" Yes, that is the power of drupal.
Welcome David! It's great to have more smart people in the company. Looking forward to work together even more. :)
I know someone is serious when they invoke the majesty of Admiral James Stockdale in 1992. :-P
But in all seriousness, welcome!
It's always enthralling to see acquia grow.
Don't want to degrade Mr. Stockdale, but I think Mr. Aristoteles came
up with these words first :-)
Welcome to Acquia and I hope that you enjoy your time working here. Maybe your website building experience and physics background will contribute to the success here at Acquia.

I, like you, am new to Acquia and unlike you, I have only been exposed to Drupal for the first time today. I must say that I am quite impressed and have begun to learn Drupal here with a great amount of excitement. I somehow found this page and I am not even sure of your position in the company but I hope I soon feel as welcome as your comrades have made you feel in the comments above. If I had a glass I would toast you in your new job, my discovery of a new platform and for both these new relationships.

When it comes to the Doors, you're either a true believer or not. Either you think that Jim Morrison was a lugubrious hippie who wrote overblown '60s doom poetry, backed by music that sounds like a calliope from hell, or you think that Morrison, though he did write a lot of overblown '60s doom poetry, also led the Doors in recording some of the most transcendent music of the 20th century. When You're Strange, a documentary history of the Doors directed by Tom DiCillo, is for people like me who can stumble onto the scrappiest Doors video on VH1 at 3 a.m. and sit there, mesmerized.
The movie includes never-before-seen footage of the Doors backstage and in the studio, as well as fluky clips of Morrison, bearded but not yet bloated, driving through the desert (they're from an aborted 1969 film project called Highway). DiCillo also does a haunting job of reconstructing, through films and photographs, the legendary Miami concert where Morrison was arrested for an indecent exposure he never got to commit. The singer's elevation into a leaping and whirling Dionysian prince in dark curls, conch belt, and leather pants is one of the great operatic-erotic spectacles in rock. The film gets that drama, and the drama of his alcoholic descent as well.
When You're Strange does have one major idiosyncrasy. There are no interviews at all. The movie is stitched together with a narration, spoken by Johnny Depp, that sounds like a highly enlightened Wikipedia entry. Yet DiCillo knows what made this band great. He does justice to the music to the spangly stoned grandeur of ''The Crystal Ship'' and to the dark majesty of ''Light My Fire,'' to every song in which Jim Morrison, with his lordly baritone, seemed to be entering heaven and hell at the same time. B+

This weekend we went to church and breakfast with some friends and it was a perfect opportunity for me to wear my new Nordstrom Rack finds. This little white dress and peep toe booties are my new fave additions to the closet room. Great Fashionista Momma style and perfect for my future Image Consultant career.

Why do girls still date married men? That is the million dollar question.
To hurt another person like that? It shouldn't be done. They have also been told by those older and wiser that a man will never leave his wife for you. And why date a man who has no intention of marrying you? It is illogical.
However, their arguments seem to make little difference. Sarah, 24, is dating Solomon a married man. She will not be dissuaded from it. "All men cheat and so I would rather be with this one who I know is being unfaithful," she explains.
And because she has opted for an unfaithful man, does she expect Solomon to cheat on her with another woman?
"I don't want him having a line of girls behind me," is her answer.
But if she is dating a married man because she thinks that all men cheat, then how come she expects faithfulness from Solomon, the married man? She hopes that two women are enough for him, that she will be the last one he dates. In Sarah's case, it is the fear of being lied to, of being cheated on, that has led her to date a married man. A critical person will tell her that she might still be lied to even under this arrangement but she is not listening.
Daphne, 25, recently ended her relationship with Anselm, a married man. But her decision had nothing to do with Anselm being married. She says she dated him because "I needed a fling and who better to offer it than a married man?" People say that married men can never leave their wives for their girlfriends and this worked to Daphne's advantage.
"I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and my self-esteem was low. I needed someone to pump it up a little but I didn't want this person to be around forever. When Anselm asked me out, I accepted because he was just perfect," Daphne says.
Recently, a lady who is as good as married wrote into an agony column asking readers to advise her. She says her "soul-mate is cohabiting with another woman".
Much as she knows that he is attached, she is dating him. We may scoff at them and call them names but there are women like this lady who are seeing married people because they are in love with them.
And then of course there are those that are doing it for the money. Kate, 20, does not shy away from revealing that, "I am dating him because he provides".
From reading these stories, it is clear that individuals who date married men are troubled.
They suffer low self esteem (how can you think you are only good enough to be a second wife?) and are insecure. Annette Kirabira, a trained counselor advises such individuals to do some soul searching and establish a value system and sense of identity.
Experts say that soul searching enables a person to realize their strengths and weaknesses and when these are realized, a person values themselves more and they will not settle for less.
Note: The names of individuals in this story have been changed.

Steps 1
Preheat your broiler & place aluminum foil on a baking sheet or on your broiler pan (this will hold for easy clean-up later!). Softly sweep olive oil on the foil so the fish won't stick.
Steps 2
You will desire to broil the salmon skin side down around four to six inches from the inflame source. Recipes change in conditions of continuing the fish uncovered or wrapping it in foil to trap in the marinade.
Steps 3
You don't need to work salmon mid-broil. Broil for six to eight minutes, or until salmon is alike color throughout.
Steps 4
Once More: don't overcook! Your fish should be just done through when you remove it.
Steps 5
Numerous done salmon recipes require some variation on a mustard sauce, oftentimes featuring brown sugar. Sample:
Mustard-Broiled Salmon.
Salmon with Mustard & Brown Sugar Glaze
Broiled Salmon with Orange-Miso Glaze.
Steps 6
To incorporate another tastes, try Broiled Salmon with Onion, Tomato & Lemon or the simple and delightful Broiled Salmon w/ Tarragon Butter.

Transforming A Trashed Landscape
Transforming A Trashed Landscape
Washed Up is an ongoing project by Mexican-born, New York-based artist Alejandro Durán that addresses the issue of plastic pollution making its way across the ocean and onto the shores of Sian Ka'an, Mexico's largest federally-protected reserve. With more than twenty pre-Colombian archaeological sites, this UNESCO World Heritage site is also home to a vast array of flora and fauna and the world's second largest coastal barrier reef. Unfortunately, Sian Ka'an is also a repository for the world's trash, which is carried there by ocean currents from many parts of the globe...
... is a Mayan phrase which in one translation means "gift from the sky"
... is a Mayan phrase which in one translation means "gift from the sky"
Over the course of this project, Durán has identified plastic waste from fifty nations on six continents that have washed ashore along the coast of Sian Ka'an. He has used this international detritus to create his color-based, site-specific installations. Imagining a collaboration between man and nature, at times he distributes the objects the way the waves would or like wind-scattered seed, echoing the organic forms of the surrounding landscape.
The resulting photo series depicts a new form of colonization by consumerism, where even undeveloped land is not safe from the far-reaching impact of our disposable culture. Although inspired by the works of Andy Goldsworthy and Robert Smithson, Washed Up speaks to the environmental concerns of our time and its vast quantity of discarded materials. The alchemy of Washed Up lies not only in transforming a trashed landscape, but in the project's potential to raise awareness and change our relationship to consumption and waste.

He learned to turn a blind eye to those who suffered needlessly in his fealty to the Insurance Industry. I'd recommend calling his Davis office -- they had to get out Congressman Garamendi's official statement on the Affordable Care Act which resulted in a call back as said text was not at the ready. The only surprise would have been had Garamendi not voted for the Upton Amendment.
And no Mr. McKay, President Obama really didn't have three years to roll out a huge change in our wealthcare redistribution system into a healthcare distribution system -- had he started before the Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled the Affordable Care Act Constitutional -- you'd be howling about that in lieu of howling about this.

Going to WDW alone?!?!
Hello Everyone! Let me introduce myself my name is Marc and I live in Asheville, NC. I'm 28 years old and a big Disney freak. I'm somewhat of a regular on the Disboards...more of a stalker then a talker. To make this story short I planned a trip to Disney (April 30 to May 7th) with a friend of mine. He canceled as of today and I still plan on going. I used to live in South Florida and was able to visit Disney at the drop of a hat. Since moving further north I've been relegated to visit 1-2 x's a year. I wasn't able to visit last year due to many family problems. Well, my initials plans where to stay at the Yacht Club concierge level; but I just can't fathom spending that kind of money now that I'm going alone. I've stayed on all of Disney properties except for the value properties and was tinkering with the idea of staying there for my 8 days while at WDW. Any thoughts or opinions on property locations? I also planned for a sit down dinners for the 8 days I was there and now I'm thinking of how silly I might look dining alone....should I just cancel them? I look forward to any and all feed back and Happy belated Valentine's Day!

I have been a few times solo, flying in from California.
I prefer to stay at the moderate or deluxe resorts but if I have to I will stay at the All Star Music which I like best out of the "value" resorts. I have also stayed off property for a few days and while it is fine, it is not ideal for me. The All Star Music is most appealing to me for the style of icons and colors on the buildings. I am not into sports and while I am into movies, something is less appealing there, except for the Fantasia section. I have read that the Music resort is also the least popular for kids so may be a tad less noisy. It certainly was quiet when I was there. As far as dining alone, don't let that stop you. Make your ADR's. It has been fine for me. Only you can know if it will work for you. I have a friend who said he could never eat alone at a full service place as it would make him depressed. There are others dining alone so you will not look silly. I always enjoyed my solo trips. Have loads of fun. |

Living farther north is no excuse, young man. I'm farther north than you and do at least four trips a year. (Then again, I am surrounded by enablers.) If you want to keep the deluxe accommodations, then you may want to look into renting DVC points. I've found that to be far more economical than the per night rate Disney charges for a room. If that is still outside the budget's comfort zone and you do decide to go the value route, I would suggest Pop Century. I find it a tad easier to get places from Pop's location and if I am taking Disney Transportation instead of driving, Pop has its own dedicated buses, all the time. As for dining, don't cancel them. It seems as though you want to eat at those restaurants, so eat there. I'm willing to wager that the only one who might care that you are dining alone is you.....well maybe the cute maître d'. |

I love going solo and with friends and family. I like a solo trip to just decompress and get away from everyone/thing that stresses me out. I usually stay at values since I am not rolling in dough. My fav is Pop because of it's central location and the theming. I've stayed at ASMu but found it to be too far away from everything. I don't mind dining alone although i won't do character meals solo. This is the first year in a a few I haven't had a solo trip planned. Hmmmm????

As for dining, most of the nicer restaurants have a bar you can eat at. Gives you someone to chat with during dinner, and sometimes you can meet other guests dining at the bar! |

I dine alone all of the time. It doesn't faze me at all. I'm an avid reader, so I just enjoy my meal and read my book. I have found that as a solo diner at Walt Disney World, I get really special treatment from cast members. They seem to go out of their way to make sure I have an enjoyable experience. Although, frequently they believe that I'm another cast member for some unknown reason. Maybe because I look like I know what I'm doing. Eat wherever you want to eat. Don't let the fact that you are a solo diner deter you from having a wonderful respite from the parks. Do you really care about what people think of you dining alone? Are these strangers' opinions really all that important? Are you ever going to see them again? The wonderful thing about a solo trip is you get to do whatever you want when you want. No negotiations. It is a totally indulgent experience. Glory in the fact that you are having the time of your life. I wish I had the money to do exactly that right now. I am currently saving up for a solo trip to Italy. Maybe by the time I'm all saved up I'll have a boyfriend who wants to join me, or maybe I will be off on a solo adventure. Either way I'm not letting anything stop me from achieving my dreams. You will have a blast in Walt Disney World in the spring!

Solo Traveling
I've gone alone once, in 2010, for my 30th, and there were many pros and cons. My biggest suggestion would be to bring some sort of reading material while you are doing the sit down meals. I forgot my book at the room during my meal at Boma and felt kind of weird eating there with nothing in front of me. I people watched and scarfed down my food VERY VERY quickly (I was out of there in like 20 minutes). Some of the rides you dont' care being by yourself on, other times I noticed it. I remember going on the Listen to the Land boat ride and I had the back row to myself and it did feel a little lonely. I also felt odd being sandwiched between two couples on the Great Movie Ride. Other rides, such as Spaceship Earth or shows like Captain EO didn't feel that weird at all.
I would say go! You shouldnt' deprive yourself of a vacation or a good time!

You'll have a great time even if it's by yourself. I did the Magic Kingdom of by myself years ago, and had a great time. I have stayed at the All-Star Movies before and I thought it was a great place to stay for a value resort. As for your dining reservations, I'd say why not keep a few...the ones that you know you'd enjoy the most! Live it up and have fun!

I've been at WDW solo a lot -- it's often my "the school year is over and I want to indulge myself" trip at the start of the summer -- and I heartily second the sentiments that others have posted about dining solo. If that's what you want to do, go for it, and don't feel self-conscious about it for even a second. The waitstaff won't batt an eye -- and as someone else as said, solo dining can be prime flirting time, if you're so inclined .
In all of my solo trips, I've had exactly *one* person (someone who was sitting at the table next to me at Le Cellier) make any sort of comment to me about the fact that I was solo. This was a guy whom I'm assuming was the father, with his wife and their three kids, It went something like this: Father: Are you eating by yourself? Wow, you must be sad. I'm sorry. Me: *laughs* You're kidding, right? I'm here at Walt Disney World for an entire week by myself, and I love it. I get to wake up when I want, go to whatever park I want, ride whatever I want, and eat wherever and whenever I want. This is the most selfish and self-indulgent thing I've given myself in the past year. Don't get me wrong -- I love my family and friends, but not this week. This week is mine. Mother: You know, honey, I think he has a point. *pauses* After lunch, you can take the kids back to the hotel. I'm going back to Test Track to ride it again.

Definitely go for it. I did two solo day trips last year, and I had a fantastic time. I actually just booked my birthday present trip for myself of 4 days at the end of February on a whim. It will be my first time actually having a multi day trip by myself, and I couldn't be more excited. I always try to convince friends to come with me, but no one cares about it as much as I do. So, I decided that Disney makes me happy and if I want to do it bad enough, I need to do it when I want to and not worry about anyone else but me.
As far as where to stay, as the other posters have said, that really depends on how much time you plan on spending in the room. If you like to hang around the resort and relax a bit more during your trip and you really have your heart set on staying at the Yacht Club, by all means do it!

Thank you everyone for all your advice. I called Disney this morning and finalized my plans. I will be doing the sit down dinners and bring along a book by the name of "The Stand" by Stephen King (by book I actually mean book not my iPad). As for the resort i choose.......... The Yacht Club... lol. It's just the perfect location for me. I love EPCOT and I just love the resort. Thank You Everyone for your info and help.

I'm no stranger to solo trips. Saturday I'll be leaving for a solo trip to WDW. I've done a few solo WDW trips too. I enjoy them. Although they're a little better when I meet up with some DISers.
Despite my experience with solo trips, I can still get self-conscious when it comes to table service dining. During my solo trips I tend to do table service less. But I still do them. I just enjoy the atmosphere or pull out my iPhone and catch up on FB or the DIS or go through pictures I've taken. Good for you for staying with YC. I haven't stayed there but have stayed at BC. I LOVE the Epcot resort area. It's so convenient. Hope you have a great solo trip!

In 2010 I spent two weeks alone at WDW. But in advance I wrote with a really nice CM who was working at Epcot at that time and we had a great time at the parks. I also met some friends from Jacksonville but the most time I was alone. I liked both. The advance going alone over going with friends was that I could go where I want and so I rode the ToT 6 or 7 times in a row.
I would always go alone again but also try to make some appoinments. |

starsA new processor leads to less noise at higher ISOs and faster performance, and built-in...
Sony has again used its backside-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, Bionz image processor, and a Sony G lens to try to solve two of the most common complaints about compact cameras: shooting performance and low-light photo quality. This time around they're in the Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V, a compact wide-angle megazoom. The camera has a lot to offer particularly to those with the time and desire to get the most from it. However, if you're a stickler for photo quality, you'll likely want to give it a pass.
Due to the megazoom lens, noise reduction, or both, the results just aren't very sharp. The photos are otherwise decent, though, and its low-light photos are better than you're going to get from those of the competition. Plus, the HX5V's shooting speeds are excellent for its class with low shutter lag, short shot-to-shot times, and a burst mode capable of 10 frames per second. The camera is packed with plenty of fun, useful features, too, including a built-in GPS receiver and compass. It's overall an excellent compact megazoom camera, but like most point-and-shoots the photos aren't going to please everyone.
Key specs | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V |

The HX5V looks like a larger version of Sony's WX1. It's a simple black box for the most part (you know, except for the obscene amount of branding) with a slight cylindrical grip on the right side giving you a place to rest your fingertips in front and thumb in back. The body is very compact and lightweight considering its long zoom and wide-angle lens; most of its weight seems to come from that and the battery pack. (The lens, by the way, is a Sony G lens, which are used in the company's dSLR cameras and advanced HD camcorders.) Overall it's nicely designed, but not quite perfect.
Controls are fairly easy to master. On top is the shooting-mode dial; shutter release and zoom ring; power button; and a button to turn on and off burst shooting. The burst and power buttons are flush with the body, making it difficult to find the power without looking as well as mistaking one for the other. Also on top are the stereo mic openings, which are so far to the left that they're easily blocked by a finger if you're not careful. The sliver of a flash on the front right side can be at least partially covered by careless fingers. On back to the right of the 3-inch LCD (which gets reasonably bright, but some will still struggle to see it in direct sunlight) are the remaining controls. There's a dedicated movie record button, so there's no need to change shooting modes to quickly capture video. Below that is a Playback button; directional pad with a select button at its center; Menu button; and Delete button. Along with navigating menus, the directional pad turns on the camera's smile- and timer-activated shutter release options, changes flash settings, and changes the brightness of the LCD as well as what information it displays. Unfortunately, the icons for each are just engraved in the pad, making them a little difficult to see in dim lighting.
The single Menu button accesses all settings, except shooting modes handled by the dial on top. Press Menu, and a column of shooting-mode-specific settings appear on the left. At the end of the list is a toolbox icon for accessing general settings. What's also nice is the camera's capability to warn you about adjusting certain settings. For example, if you set the HX5V to spot meter light, you won't be able to turn on Face Detection. The HX5V tells you onscreen that Face Detection is not available because of Spot metering being selected. Cameras from other vendors generally make you guess what needs to be shut off in order to turn on a blacked-out option.
The HX5V features a couple of interesting technologies beyond its back-illuminated Exmor R sensor. For those who like to know exactly where they were when a photo was taken, the camera has a built-in compass and GPS receiver. Turning on the receiver requires digging into the main menu system (since it cuts into your battery life, it really should be easier to turn on and off), but once it's on it'll start searching for satellites. The tagging abilities aren't as full-featured as those in Panasonic's Lumix DMC-ZS7, but the Sony's longitude and latitude information seems more accurate. The camera seamlessly adds the information to a photo's EXIF data, so you can use software like Picasa or Google Earth to see where you were when you took your photos.
The other technology is TransferJet. The feature allows for wireless photo and video transfers between the camera and TransferJet-compatible devices. No pairing is necessary, but the two products must be within about an inch of each other. Of course, you'll need some extra stuff to take advantage of the feature. For starters, you'll need a Memory Stick with TransferJet; an 8GB card runs just less than $100. You'll also want to have something with a TransferJet receiver. Sony has laptops with the feature, or you can pick up a Sony USB TransferJet Station that sells for about $150. The feature will work with other TransferJet cameras, too, should you want to transfer up to 10 photos to someone else's camera.
The feature is best suited for those with lots of cash to burn and already living a Sony-made lifestyle. In fact, if you own a Web-connected Sony HDTV, the experience is great. Connect the TransferJet Station to the USB port on the TV and set the camera down on top of it, and it nearly instantly starts a slideshow of your photos. The wireless connection was fast enough to playback AVCHD movies without issue, too. Plus, pictures that have GPS data will trigger the TV to open a small Google Maps image so you can see just where the picture was taken while you're viewing your photos. And if you take a lot of photos and don't want to mess with cables or taking your memory card in and out, you simply connect the Station to your computer, place the camera on top, and start the transfer. (It's a long way to go and a considerable expense to avoid using a cable or card reader, though.)
Like all of Sony's 2010 Cyber-shots, the HX5V accepts both Memory Stick Pro Duo cards and SD/SDHC cards for memory. There's a single slot for both card types next to the battery located in a compartment in the bottom of the camera. The battery cannot be charged in the camera, and the door covering the compartment doesn't lock and slides open a bit too easily (something to keep in mind if you keep the camera loose in a bag). Next to the compartment is a proprietary multifunction port for connecting a USB/AV cable or the supplied HDMI dongle.
One last note about features: the camera has both standard optical image stabilization and an Active option that helps to suppress shake while the shooter is moving with the subject (e.g., running alongside someone playing soccer). It does help and is definitely worth switching on if you're in this or a similar situation.

Fit and Finish
Due to my short black IDE cable for my optical drive, I was stuck using a lower bay for my drive. Even in the lowest bay the door gets out of the way to allow obstruction free use.
One last look at the top before the cover goes back on it. With all the big venting holes and vented expansion slot covers, I chose not to use the rear I/O shield to allow another point of exit for the hot air.
When I got all finished and was ready to close the door on the RV01, I ran into a slight issue. The cooler I chose to use, with its dual fan set-up, wouldn't allow me to use the brace for the graphics card. I know this isn't a problem in every instance, but it will not work in my case. Shame, too; I would have liked to see the SilverStone label peeking through my window at me.
Closing the door on the RV01, shows that SilverStone thought out the placement very well in my opinion. They chose to show only the important things and allow a great view at the motherboard, cooler and video card.
Powering up the RAVEN RV01 shows the lighting on the nose. A push of the power button lights up the full width light bar and even has a red LED in the center to show HDD activity.
Stepping back a bit and getting another look to allow you to absorb the RAVEN RV01 in all its powered glory. With all the blue lighting, the matte black and unique line, this case sure is appealing to me.

Qt is not working on a Mac
Page |
1 |
Last night I try to install Qt on my Mac and when I click the installer I noticed that the labels on the buttons for the installation were not showing (install, next etc.), the buttons are showing but no labels. I went and proceeded with the installation clicking the buttons without knowing what the buttons said and assuming that they were the typical buttons found when installing other applications. I got it to install but when I opened the application it is also missing the labels on some buttons and drop-down menus. Also, I'm getting and error every time I close the application ("Qt has unexpectedly quit …").
Any idea why the labels are not showing?
Is there anybody there running Qt on a Mac with Lion without issues?
I'm on a Mac with OX Lion 10.7.2
See print screen:
I used the standard download for Mac OSX. I tried both the online and the offline installer and same thing.
Thanks a lot for your help!
24 replies
Thanks a lot for your reply!
Where can I find information to find the solution?
I installed Creator separately and same thing, this is what I see when I try to create a new project.
Print Screen:
For the xcode problem: just have a forum search for Xcode 4, you should get some results there. I don't have the links at hand right now. For development, I'm still on a snow leo (10.6.x) box, but the applications I build run on lion without any problems. Maybe something went wrong during installation?
After searching the internet and reading similar problems people are having with different software I started thinking that I might be missing the font type used for certain parts of the program, since some people claim to have fixed them by adding the correct font or the encoding type.
Ref threads.
Could this be the issue?
Is there a possibility that I'm missing some fonts or the encoding need to be changed?
Any one out there having the same problem.
Thanks a lot for your help "volker"
Is there something I could do to try to fix it or this would be on Qt's end and I would need to wait for a fix?
It funny because I actually went and installed an old version (Qt SDK 1.1.2) thinking that that was going to work but nothing, same problem.

Serves 1-2
Cooking a live lobster can be intimidating, but take it one step at a time and you'll have a delicious dinner in no time! Please note this was my first time cooking a live lobster and is written in the hopes of preparing other first-timers for both the process and the emotions involved.
1 lobster (about 2 lbs)
First, come to terms with what is about to happen.
I had a hard time with this step.
I stood like this for several minutes. I was talking to the lobster. Silently, of course.
But … you can only talk to a lobster so long before you run out of things to say.
Next, take the lobster out of the bag. At this point, I'm not sure who was more stressed out – me or him.
If you don't think you can handle a live lobster, you can have the fish market kill the lobster for you (as long as you are going to cook it right away). I'm considering this for next time. It's true. I'm wimpy and don't mind if the whole world knows it.
It's hard to pick up a lobster when you're afraid to touch it… but eventually it had to be done.
Bring a pot of water to boil, with plenty of salt
Ways to kill a lobster humanely:
A) Put in head first to boiling water. This is supposed to instantly kill it and is Alton Brown's preferred method (he's the guy on Good Eats). I'm here to tell you that you might not want to try this method if it's your first time cooking lobster. Even though they die immediately, there's some residual …. movement. Like how a chicken keeps running, even after it loses its head. Except it involves a moving tail. Not pleasant.
B) Freeze for 15-30 minutes before cooking it. This is a pretty hands-off approach which is supposed to make the lobster numb.
C) cut the lobster between the eyes and sever the spinal cord. This seems the most difficult emotionally to me.
Ultimately I chose Alton Brown's advice which was incredibly stressful… mostly because my pot wasn't a big lobster pot.
Things were rather tight… which only accentuated the tail issues I mentioned.
After 15 minutes (according to Maine folk) or 20 minutes (according to fish market folk), remove from water and drain.
Snip off elastic bands. You could remove those prior to cooking, but I was nervous about being pinched and the folks at the fish market told me it was fine to leave them on.
Next, prep the lobster for eating. Cut the tail in half longways.
Things are looking up. Half for me and half for Mr. Picky. Yum.
Next, pop the claws away from the body.
Once they are free, use a knife to separate the joint. Insert and twist. Watch out, there might be some cooking water trapped in there.
Arrange the pieces on a platter and enjoy with heaps of Vanilla-Shallot Dipping Butter.
Phew. Mission accomplished.
Simply fill in your details below.

From NOLA.MIT.EDU WIKI
Welcome to the MIT@NOLA Wiki. In the open-source spirit of MIT, this Wiki gathers the record of DUSP involvement in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Our hope is that in documenting and sharing our work, we can inform and galvanize future practice. We welcome students, professors, practitioners, policymakers, and community-members alike in contributing to and learning from the efforts represented on this Wiki.
MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) has been and will continue to be one of the most active urban planning departments in New Orleans and on the Gulf Coast. To date, MIT students have been involved with studios, theses, practica, and projects in many neighborhoods, organizations, and city departments, and MIT professors and practitioners have engaged in a variety of undertakings on the Gulf Coast, including leading classes, advising on theses, and conducting their own personal and professional research and advocacy. MIT and DUSP believe that, in the words of Professor Karl Seidman,
the fate of New Orleans is a critical national project to restore the health of a city and region with great historic, cultural and economic value. It also leads the way to establishing a new federal policy and national public-private partnership to reinvest in our urban neighborhoods as the cornerstones of healthy, equitable and environmentally sustainable cities.dissertation help
