Classic American TV from the 1950s featured "Ozzie and Harriet," a family that weathered the trials and tribulations of married life with teenage children.
The MTV reality TV series "The Osbournes" aired from 2002 to 2005, and brought us the antics of a different Ozzy, rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his wife of many years, Sharon Osbourne and two of their three children. The show was a huge hit and a raucous glimpse inside an unconventional traditional family who were, like the fictitious "Ozzie and Harriet," cemented together with love despite their many well publicized demons.
Today, the tabloids are filled with reports that Sharon Osbourne may be divorcing Ozzy after all these years, but today reports surfaced through an interview Ozzy granted Rolling Stone magazine that refutes these rumors. He admits, 'I have been drinking and taking drugs' for 18 months," and he further apologizes publicly to his family for his relapse. He also denies the divorce talk.
Black Sabbath is prepping for the June 11th release of their new album 13, which marks the group's first release with Osbourne on vocals since 1978's Never Say Die! The band will premiere a new "End of the Beginning" will premiere on the May 15th season finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Black Sabbath have announced four North American concert dates this summer.
Ozzy Osbourne used Facebook yesterday, saying, "I was in a very dark place and was an asshole to the people I love most, my family," the Black Sabbath frontman wrote. "However, I am happy to say that I am now 44 days sober."
At stake is Osbourne's 31-year marriage to wife and manager Sharon Osbourne. "Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing," he wrote. "I'm just trying to be a better person."
Addiction expert Dr. Damon Raskin of Cliffside Malibu (www.cliffsidemalibu.com) spoke to Monsters and Critics this morning and shared his feelings that many addicted and alcoholic patients must keep trying, even after falling off the wagon, to preserve their family life as a lifeline and anchor for recovery efforts.
Dr. Raskin says, "I am a doctor with a family who treats families, many with a member who is addicted to alcohol or drugs. Just like Ozzy is showing us, it is clearly never too late to get help and get sober. I have helped treat many patients at all stages of readiness for recovery, and even if someone has relapsed many times, families should never give up on their loved one. Family involvement can be crucial in giving the addict hope, but avoiding enabling the addict is the key. This often takes the help of professionals and why families should not be doing this on their own. At Cliffside Malibu where I treat many addicts, involving family members is a crucial part of the rehab strategy and allows the addict the help they need to get to the root of why they feel the need to mask their pain with alcohol or drugs."

Yesterday morning we woke up to torrential rain and got ready for our day at Yeo Valley Farm.
I have been there before and have mentioned many times about how I love their company ethics, yoghurt and the setting of their farm but this time we were invited to come with our children too for a day of bug hunting and fairy wand making.
The day was to raise awareness of the work they are doing with The Woodland Trust. The thing I love about Yeo Valley is that they really care about the countryside, as well as their cows, which is why they have teamed up to try and help preserve Britain's woodland.
Before we left, we packed for hot weather, cold weather and rainy weather but despite the torrential downpour that morning we were really lucky and it didn't actually rain at all!
Our day started with some leaf detective work, followed by bug detective work and lots of jumping in muddy puddles.
Then we went and had some lunch which was delicious. Home-made soup, bread, sausage rolls followed by yoghurt, of course!
After lunch the sun was out and we headed down for some den building and fairy wand making.
Noddy was lucky enough to join us on the experience.
The fairy wands were made from tying wool and ribbon around sticks and is a great idea. One that we will definitely be doing again!
Above is Adele and Fritha making wands with their little ones.
You can see in the photo just how gorgeous the view is.
Then it was back to the Yeo Valley HQ for ice-cream and cake!
This is the view from the balcony, I want to live there!
Then we drove home and Iyla crashed out (clutching onto her wand of course!) as she was absolutely exhausted, as I'm sure most of the kiddos were!
We had a lovely day and I'm still so relieved it didn't rain!
Disclaimer: We were invited to spend the day with Yeo Valley and The Woodland Trust. They provided our lunch, snacks, a very yummy yoghurt filled goodie bag at the end of the day and a nature detectives pack but all of the words and opinions in this post are my own.

Dellin Betances Touches 101 MPH in Win
BOSTON, MA -- Found inside a 6-4 Yankees road win was a superb performance from the bullpen. Shawn Kelley, Adam Warren, Dellin Betances, and David Robertson tossed a combined 4 1/3 innings of two-hit ball, yielding just one run. Inside that? Three triple-digit fastballs from Dellin Betances to Mike Napoli, one clocking a career-high 101 MPH on the Fenway Park radar gun.
"When I get an out, I kind of look back," said Betances. "I saw it and I said 'Oh, wow.'"

Does anyone have any info on carved cabinet depicted below? My mother always referred to it as "the Danish chest". The carved panels seem to depict an historical event. Any info as to origin, age, history, etc. would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nice! Scenes from the Sagas? Wagner? |
Thank you for your reply. You have me researching the Norse Sagas and it is so interesting! I am adding more pics to hopefully help identify this piece. |
I dunno, but the artist behind that did a wonderful job. You don't usually see such good perspective in woodwork, but that guy picked his vanishing point and used it! The folks here ( not me-heh!) will be able to help on age if you take photos of the guts of the piece. Show the hardware, insides, hinges, joints, etc. |
Thank you, fori, for your comments and suggestion. I will take more pics! And yes, the carving is wonderful, and the four main panels move in their placement - perhaps to allow for expansion? |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Wed, Jan 25, 12 at 17:48
The panels move because they were inserted into "rabbets" (grooves) in the door frames, not nailed or glued into place. It allows them to expand and contract instead of splitting. I'm going to say it's 1880-1915 for the following reasons: The way the door frames are routed around the panels, with the rounding crossing over the joint, shows up almost entirely in furniture of that era (I think they were all using the same routing machine). It gives a nice organic curve to what would otherwise be a straight edge. The deeply scooped grooves and simple carved stars are a very common decorative detail for that design school. Viking themes were extremely popular with the Scandinavian A&C artists. It may be scenes from one of the Icelandic sagas, although the only one I remember with a horse ends up with the horse dead, not used to flee. The carved woman has a very non-Scandinavian appearance. Her skirt is almost Egyptian in the way it folds. These multi-cultural influences are common in that era. They sucked in all kinds of influences. And here's your probably style identification: Skonvirke style. (the o should be the slashed o, but my browser won't do it) The "Skonvirke style" was named after Skonvirke a Danish magazine and is now used also as a term for a special Danish style, a mixture of Jugendstil (German), Art Nouveau (French), Arts and Crafts (English) on one side and Nordic national romanticism on the other. The style flourished in the same period as the national romanticism, ie. ca. 1895 - 1915. Does your family have Danish connections - either by family or travel and business? |
Lazygardens, thank you for your information! I did a limited internet search but did not find info re furniture of this period. What resources do you recommend so I can further my knowledge? Also, no, we do not have Danish connections. My mother bought pieces she found "interesting" from various sources. For instance, I found in her basement, a Richard Schultz petal table! Thank you again for replying. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Thu, Jan 26, 12 at 19:30
I have no clue. I could only find one website in English and looked up the rest using Google translation. |
The Skonvirke style is the Danish equivalent of Art Nouveau, but it seems it's only applied to decorative stuff like jewelry or small collectables. I have never heard the term applied to furniture or rugs or house design as we would use the term Art Nouveau. I don't believe it's Danish...German maybe? American? Canadian?....but it's plainly oak and There is no history that I can find about the Danes using oak as a furniture wood. It's an interesting piece for sure...I think it's telling a story about knighthood and a hero being recognized and riding off to battle on his horse. |
Thank you for your comments, Lindac. It appears inside the cabinet that shelves and drawers were added, but I never thought of looking at the legs! I will try to get pictures this weekend. |
I have a cabinet is supposedly Danish that is golden oak. I was told it was consigned to the store I bought it from by a family that originally brought the piece from Denmark when they immigrated. I'm sure it's not as old as the OP's, and it's not as interesting, but it is oak! This is a cool cabinet. Karin L |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Jan 28, 12 at 14:44
Yes, the Scandinavian countries used oak. It was one of their basic resources in the wooden ship days. Their export stuff is mostly birch and beech because of style, not lack of oak. http://retrodansk.bigcartel.com/product/danish-oak-safari-chair-kaare-klint |
Danish oak antiques are well recognised and rather plentiful. Old Danish furniture styles and German styles overlap, since the countries border each other, and some Danish antiques even have German hardware. The plain rear legs differing from the fancier front legs is also not uncommon in old as well as new furniture, since they're not readily visible. Those are caryatid pilasters, spot on for the timeframe Lazygardens mentions, and yes.....it has very confused influences as was common in that era. |
Thank you for all your replies. I am including more pics an case they can bring about more info. Thanks again. More pics: |

Dec 14th 2010 8:50AM I personally think Sargeras will be the last boss of the game. Him, or Mal'Ganis. The burning legion was never stopped during the burning crusade, all we did was hinder them for a while. The Burning Legion is also the root cause of almost every evil and corruption in the game at some point (Arthas, Illidan, even related to Deathwing in how they have probably corrupted the Old Gods (but that's my own theory)).

This looks like something we inherited from Dad—with a few fancy twists.
How '30s chic would this doctor's-style bag look with a tweed coat?
Clean and crisp and made to be brought on a boat to somewhere sunny.
The long strap frees up your hands for your cell, coffee or a sprint to the gate.
In Braided leather, this feels less like luggage and more like a posh handbag.
So understated, you can slip out early on a Friday without attracting attention.
Don't be surprised if stylish men do a double take—it's coolly androgynous.
Good news for your shoulders: The nylon won't add extra weight.
Athletic detailing looks so distinguished in rich brown leather.
Something about this bag emanates "world traveler," in an unpretentious way.

The perfect loose powder/setting powder brush.
Looks black, sleek, shiny comes in a handy velvety case. It is a rather large powder brush that is a flat but still fluffy.
The feel of the brush is so luxurious. Extremely soft. Glides over your face no scratches and no shedding. Feels great, makes anyone feel pampered and fancy when using this brush.
The bristles I believe are from animal hair. Which animal? Perhaps squirrel. Not exactly sure. The bristles are not so compact. It is not made for packing powder on like a foundation but a light touch like setting powder. For example, I use this brush mainly for my Chanel Poudre Universal Libre setting powder. Flawless.
It is expensive, but worth the investment.
Every woman should have this brush
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This has got to be the softest brush I have ever tried. I believe it is made of squirrel hair?.
The brush is quite wide and flat but not very dense, however it picks up product with ease. Because it is tapered it is great for getting into those tricky areas around the nose and eye area, so I love this brush for applying loose powder.
I have recently purchased Kevin aucoins sculpting powder and this brush is perfect for me for applying it. Because the end of the brush is fine and tapered it is very directional and great for layering the product without leaving a dirty streak down the cheek bone.
I have had this brush for 6 months now and it did shed a couple of hairs after the first wash but no more since.
A pricey brush but it was money well spent in my opinion, would I buy it again... In a heart beat.
This is a fantastic brush!! I use it together with the smaller shiseido foundation brush for nooks & crannies or extra coverage for blemishes. I'm a bit OCD about my brushes and wash them really often, so cheaper quality brushes tend to fall apart and shed hair everywhere after a while. I've been using this for 6 months now, washing my brush at least once every day, and not one single hair has fallen out. That's the sign of a really good quality brush, plus it makes your make up last a lot longer because a little with this brush goes a long way.
"So," says my man (he asks this out of curiosity, you understand, not to grill me). "What did you spend the rest of your birthday money on at Nordstrom?"
"A brush," I say.
"A brush," he says. "ONE brush. You spent $55 on ONE brush?"
"I HAVE NO REGRETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTS," I scream as I dive through a window and run into the sunset.
Okay, actually I stick my tongue out at him.
Obviously, this is the most expensive brush I've ever bought. I have a couple of super soft synthetic powder brushes that feel nice on my face but it dawned on me that since they were dense, they were also -- duh -- applying my powder densely. I went looking for the highest quality natural powder brush I could find for my budget, and after a lot of looking online and at Sephora and Nordstrom, the Shiseido came up on top.
This brush is genuinely silky, like, the texture of the hairs is unlike any brush I've handled before. It feels very luxurious sweeping across my face, absolutely whisper-soft. I had also considered the Laura Mercier blue squirrel powder brush, which was just as soft, but the LM brush was denser and I ended up glad I opted for the Shi because I do feel that not being overly dense really helps it to lay down powder in an extremely sheer, invisible layer. Unlike my synthetic brushes, it is very easy to distribute powder evenly thoughout the bristles of this brush without their collecting in one spot more than another -- translating to very even application to my face.
About the only thing I could wish for is handle construction out of something more weighty and substantial -- obviously you don't want it to be *too* heavy, but I was surprised at how very light it was and I think a little weight would give it even more of a luxury feel.
Next on my list is the blush brush.
9 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Gorgeous brush that I haven't stopped using since the day I took the plunge. A little off-puttingly expensive but I do not regret purchasing it, not one bit. This is the softest, silkiest, most luxurious brush I have ever had the pleasure of using. As mentioned previously, the bristles are not too densely packed so the brush slides airily and effortlessly along the planes of my face. Not too "floppy" and keeps its shape nicely after washing/drying. Absolutely foolproof with translucent/setting powder -- even when I'm in a huge rush and just throwing products on my face, I've never had the issue of looking overly powdered or matte -- and the super silky bristles evenly distribute just enough to polish/set my makeup. When I'm going out, I like to use a puff to "lock" my makeup in place and gently run this brush over my face to remove the excess powder -- flawless. I also use it to dust off and blend out heavy-handed blush/bronzer/highlighter/etc. without rubbing off the rest of my makeup. It's easy to wash, I haven't had any problems with odor and shedding has been slight, maybe a couple hairs every few washes. For removing the hassle of powder and the luxurious feel, I'd definitely buy this brush again.

This powder brush is so super soft (squirrel) on your skin, and the handle is perfectly balanced. I use this for powder, as a finishing brush and sometimes for bronzer too. I gave it a 3 in packaging because it comes with a flimsy plastic pouch, and such a beautiful brush deserves a proper brush case.
I can't believe I've never reviewed this wonderful brush!
Shiseido Powder Brush is large and quite fluffy. Perfect for a light dusting of setting powder - no cakey OTT matte effect! I think this is great for highlighting cheekbones as well since it isn't so dense. It feels very soft and gets softer after each washing and there is minimal shedding IME. It is the only powder brush I own that is like it.
Well worth the price tag - I suspect it will last me forever:)

Okay, so I know this brush is crazy town expensive (like $80AUD or something ridiculous), but I don't regret laying out the pennies for a minute. I love this brush. Silky soft, picks up just the right amount of powder and applies beautifully. Awesome for all over powder application, blush, highlighter, whatever. It's heavenly.

this brush is da bomb! Ok I know what you're thinking! $50 for a brush?!?! But let me tell you ladies, it feels like heaven on your face! Softest brush EVERRRR and I've tried them all HE and low end. So run don't walk and get one NOW!

This is really the softest brush i've ever seen & the most expnsive brush in my collection. In my country it costs about USD70 for this powder brush. Despite it's softness it does pick up powder & apply powder evenly on my face. It's also good for applying pigmented blush.

Harrisburg City Islanders News Release -- www.cityislanders.com
Thursday, April 7, 2011
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- The Harrisburg City Islanders are proud to announce the signings of Jason Hotchkin, Brian Ombiji, Morgan Langley, and Phil Tuttle, pending approval from USSF.
Hotchkin returns to the City Islanders after having a great season with the club in 2010, registering six goals and three assists. Before his City Islanders days, Hotchkin started his professional career in 2004 with the USL's Charlotte Eagles, scoring five goals and four assists. In 2005, he had a short stint with German club TuS Koblenz before moving to Sweden to play for IK Brage in 15 matches. Hotchkin returned to the USL in 2006, signing with the Wilmington Hammerheads and scoring two goals and adding three assists.
From 2006-2008, Hotchkin turned his professional soccer career from outdoor to indoor by playing in the MISL (Major Indoor Soccer League). He would play for the Philadelphia Kixx and the New Jersey Ironmen. In the summer of 2008, Hotchkin returned to the outdoor field by signing with the Cleveland City Stars and helping them win the 2008 USL Second Division Championship. During the 2008 season, Hotchkin also spent some time with the Columbus Crew's reserve team. He re-signed with Cleveland in 2009 for their inaugural USL First Division campaign before signing with the City Islanders in 2010.
Ombiji is a familiar face to the City Islanders' organization and fans. He is only one of three remaining players from the 2007 Harrisburg City Islanders' team that won the USL Second Division Championship. At the age of 18, Ombiji played for AFC Leopards, a soccer club in his native country of Kenya. Ombiji then moved to the United States and graduated from Lindsey Wilson College earning high honors such as three All-Conference First Team selections, two NAIA All-Region First Team selections, the NAIA Region XI Player of the Year Award in 2004 and a NAIA First Team All-American selection.
To keep in shape and get his feet wet in the professionals, Ombiji played for USL Premier Development League squad Michigan Bucks during his college summers. Ombiji turned professional in 2007 with the Harrisburg City Islanders, playing for two seasons tallying 10 goals, five game-winning goals, and receiving an All-League Second Team selection before stepping away from the beautiful game for the 2009 season. In 2010, he returned to soccer and re-signed with the City Islanders appearing in five games and scoring once.
"We are glad to have Hotchkin and Ombiji back for the 2011 season," Coach Bill Beecher said. "Both players are great additions to our midfield and attacking force."
Langley joins the Islanders after having a stellar senior season for Swarthmore College. He led the Garnet with 14 goals and 14 assists, earning him two All-American honors, being named to the NSCAA All-Region First Team, the ECAC Division III South Region Team and honored as the Centennial Conference Player of the Year.
The Hawaiian native also became the program's all-time leader in career points (95) and assists (27). 73 of his 95 career points came in his final two seasons with Swarthmore. Langley also finished in the top 10 nationally in assists, assists per game and points per game. With his combination of strength, speed, touch and finish, Langley will be a contributor to dismantling opponents' defenses.
Tuttle joins the Islanders after recording a 7-3-2 record in his senior year for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He appeared in 13 matches, starting in 11 of them with an impressive 0.71 goals- against average and a .743 save percentage. Tuttle finished his college soccer career registering a 9-6-2 record, allowing 16 goals, registering 45 saves and 7 shutouts. Before his Notre Dame days, Tuttle attended Brewster Academy earning the captain's band, receiving the Coach's Team MVP Award, and the Athletic Director's Award for positive and consistent contribution to interscholastic sports.
In 2005, he played in the New England prep school all-star game and was named to the Boston Globe's prep all-scholastic soccer team. Tuttle will add depth to the Islanders' goalkeeping roster that includes the 2009 USL-2 GAA Champion and All-League Second-Team goalkeeper, Chase Harrison.
"Morgan and Phil had outstanding college careers and we expect that to continue here with the Islanders. We are very excited to have added them to our roster for the 2011 season." Coach Bill Beecher said.
The Harrisburg City Islanders will open the regular season at the Skyline Sports Complex against the in-state rival Pittsburgh Riverhounds on Saturday, April 16th at 7 p.m. before traveling west for a rematch of the opener on Saturday, April 23rd at 7 p.m. For more information on the City Islanders, or to order tickets, contact the team at 717-441-GOAL, or visit www.cityislanders.com.

I'm a stay at home mom of 2 daughters, aged 4 and 4 months.
I like to create new pasta dishes and casseroles. I have one picky eater so I enjoy making meals with nutrition hidden in them. My hubby is diabetic so I also like making sugar free meals and desserts.

"That's the kind of thing I'd like to help people accomplish. I've given years and years of free advice, and I still want people to call me. But I'm going to run the meter now."
Morris, meanwhile, isn't planning to stand still. He says Jan Martin, a longtime associate, will likely take on more responsibility at the management company, and he's talking to other parties about coming aboard in the near future; he expects to make an announcement in a month or two. Whoever joins up will immediately have several big projects on which to work. Todd Park Mohr has already written several numbers for the next Big Head Todd studio album, which should be out in June 1999 on Giant/Reprise (the imprints merged after severe downsizing at Giant). The Monsters are also plowing through live recordings made on their last tour, with an eye toward the possible release of an in-concert album before Christmas this year. Leftover Salmon is in the planning stages for a new disc, too; it will likely be made up of duets with band pals such as John Prine. And Kottke is making his first all-instrumental record since his 1972 landmark platter Six- and Twelve-String Guitar. "With Mark going, it gives us a chance to do some new things with some new blood, and it could make things even better," Morris asserts. "But he leaves some big shoes to fill."
Club Mecca, a hip-hop nightspot located at 1360 College Avenue in Boulder, allegedly closed its doors for the last time in November 1996. But now some of the original principals involved in the venue are breathing new life into it; Mecca returns on Friday, August 14, and your presence there would be appreciated. Also on August 14, a benefit to save the Denver Civic Theater, located at 721 Santa Fe Drive, takes place from 7 p.m. until the wee hours of the following day. Entertainment will be provided by Coy Kindred, Otis Roach and a number of DJs to be named later. But not by me.

Check the link below that is currently at the Kitchen Table forum... it is for a hand lotion made with just 3 ingredients found at a dollar store! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ggrrrrreat stuff.....for dry winter skin
Thanks Red Confetti and so quick, that recipe is close but I know this one had wrinkle crean in it, I remenber thinking how strange, then of course forgot where I read it at. I'll give this one a try thanks agine oddie |

Wanted to let you know I tried the lottion recipe and your right its wonderful! I have very dry skin and just useing it once has helped alot, Iam hooked, I wonder if f/o could be used and what would work with the baby lotion scent, and does anyone have a hint for filling those small hole lotion bottles, this lotion is very thick and takes a long time to fill a bottle Thanks oddie |
I found all the items at the Dollar General store. Just need to know which of the two baby lotion scents they carry to use. They have regular baby lotion scent and the lavender and chamomile scent lotion, both are Dollar General brand. Also, I bought Dollar General brand petroleum jelly, instead of "Vaseline" brand. Is that ok? Thanks Yaya |
yaya7 hi I used the lavender and chamomile, but I doult it matters I just dont care for the scent of regular baby lotion so was trying to get away from it, I used the dollar store brand of petroleum jelly. also I read on another post that you could use olive oil would like to try it, have to wait till I use up some of mine frist. I also want to try it and add wrinkle cream, I know the frist recipe I read had it in it also ,check out the post at the top with the link, I have one hint and that is to mix well. HAPPY CRAFTING oddie |
Cool! Thanks for the quick reply. I bought both scents of lotion just in case. I'll see which I like best. Also, I tried the Delon vitamin e cream on my hands, and it does a pretty good job of moisturizing my skin alone as is. Smells pretty good too. I am so glad I went to the $ store. I found a stash of violet scented cologne. I love the smell of violets, and a long time ago I had bought some nice violet perfume, but it was very pricey$$! This one I found at the dollar store was only $4, and it smells really good! I figure for every day use, you can't beat the price. If anything, perhaps it can be used for spritzing the house aromas away, LOL! Yaya7 |

just a thought on putting the lotion in the small jars... Put the lotion in a large baggy and cut a hole in the corner. Squeeze the lotion into the jars... Nice and neat! |
I made this for gifts - everyone loves it. One girl told me she puts it on her very rough feet, puts on an old pair of her husbands gray socks and goes to bed - next morning is amazing. I have tried it, too - really works. Wonder if I could find a pair of cotton gloves and do it for my hands? btw- I used all dollar store brand. |
omg! such a old post, I beleive it was my frist, and on the soap and candle makeing fourm, and back when I thought I could still see without glasses LOL! Have to say I still love the lotion! use it all the time, had also learned to use the large baggie to fill bottles, helps alot! oddie |
I wait until Bath & Body Works has my favorite lotion on sale and use it instead of the baby lotion. I do not use the JAR of vaseline but the vaseline in a tube. I use the Dollar General brand of everything except the lotion. This lotion works so well and smells really good. It really stretches your B&BW scented lotion. Thanks for the tip to put it in a baggie and squeeze into the bottle. |

Here's some pictures of a savannah view from summer '08. I personally didn't really look out too much. I was either sleeping in or out in the park, but my grandma enjoyed sitting out there with coffee and watching the animals get fed and what-not.
If it has been your dream and you are already spending the money for AKL, then spend the extra for savannah.
We had a pool view at AKL. Still saw enough animals. The only time we sat outside was late at night and the pool was so pretty. Animals would have been asleep. If you are going to be at the resort during the day, then it maybe worth it.
id say it was worth it.....i remember waking up and grabbing a cup of coffee and watching all of the animals wake up with you....if it has always been your dream then whats wrong with spending a little more $$$$?
I just got back from AKL last week. We stayed on the 5th floor on the Zebra Trail overlooking the Arusha Savanah. It was amazing. The rooms on the Kudu Trail that overlook the Arusha Savanah have a view of the pond that the cranes, ducks and pelicans hang out at and the giraffe feeding area is right there. On the Kudu trail we could not see the pond but the other animals hung out in front of our rooms more than on the other side in my opinion. Either view would be great. I would request not to be on the Sunset Savanah for sure. You can call Member Services to make the request. That is what I did. I walked over to the Sunset Savanah to get a glimpse of the Kindani Village site and I saw no animals except a few birds and the construction site is very close and not attractive to look at. I have even heard that they have removed the animals from that savanah in order to avoid them being spooked by the construction noise. Maybe someone else can confirm that. All this being said it was the best Disney Trip I have ever had. I am an animal lover and I could have sat there all day on the balcony looking at the different animals come and go. It was so peaceful. I even went out at 3 in the morning and wouldn't you know there were three elands laying in the grass eating right under my balcony.
We stayed there several years ago & it is on our return list. I loved having my morning coffee & muffin out on the balcony watching the animals.
I guess the question you need to ask yourself is would you use it? If you are up & out early then back to the room late then I'd save my $$. But if you will linger in the room and enjoy the view throughout the day, I'd say it is worth every cent!
I am really excited because on my next trip to WDW I am staying at the vacation club part of animal kingdom lodge and we have a savana view room. I can't wait!!!
Absolutely! Spend the money. If you can afford to stay in a Club Level room all the better. You will be glad you did.
My cousin stayed there once and she has worked at a zoo and she loved waking up to see all of the animals right outside of her window. I'm excited to stay there soon and I leave in 2 weeks for a weekend trip!!
Spend It. Do It. Enjoy It. Love It. - It's worh it, it makes the vacation stories and pictures that much more interesting- Have Fun!
AKL is my favorite resort! And I can't imagine staying there WITHOUT a savannah view. I even got up in the middle of the night to go out on the balcony to see the animals. They have it lit up outside just like if there was a full moon, so you can see pretty well at night. I am staying there again in March, and we are splurging for Club Level. I can't wait!
I just 3 days in Kidani Village and yes, its worth it. What an amazing experience
I've stayed in most of the WDW resorts and AKL is one of my faves. It's a little out of the way but not a problem since we drive everywhere. I've stayed in both Jambo House and Kidani Village. Both were nice but I loved Kidani. It's definately worth the money for a savannah view. I loved seeing all the animals esp in the morning, at sunset or after it rained.
I came back from my trip and we had a savannah view and we were on the very end of the savannah so we didn't see tons of animals. But we did see some.:mousetune:yahoo:

review by Grooveman Pro
Bronson 2008
Grooveman's review:
Fucking Brilliant!! Tom Hardy's performance in this is seriously my favorite performace by any actor in any film. I can't express the love I have for this film. If you haven't seen this yet please do yourself a favor and watch this. You can thank me later.
11 Comments
"I got a librarian up here, and he's in a lot of trouble."
Eventhough I've seen this more than fifteen times, I still need a rewatch.
Nice double bill with Clockwork Orange. That's a lot of fantastic music.
I gotta watch it again myself. Hardy will find it hard to top himself in this one!
100% agree with everything mentioned here. This is the film that I discovered my love for Tom Hardy and Nicolas Winding Refn. Since then I've explored both of their resumes and have not been disappointed by any of it.
@Filmape. I rank this so high on my favorite film list because it's a film I feel I could watch everyday for a month and still laugh and not get tired of it. It was a great double feature with Clockwork Orange for sure. I was actually gonna try to do Natural Born Killers also but it was really late.
@Ray and Richard. I agree completly with both your comments.
Sorry Robert I called you Richard. I'm a dumbass!!
@Robert: What other T. Hardy films are out there? I think I've only seen him in Inception, and a Brit tv version of Wuthering Heights.
This is his best performance in Bronson, other films he is outstanding in (which are alot) are Wuthering Heights as you mentioned, another Brit mini-series called "The Take", Stuart: A life Backwards, a small but important role in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and I personally thought he was very good in Warrior even though Nick Nolte did overshadow him a little. I also seen him in another BBC mini-series called The Virgin Queen, he was good but the series itself was not so great. And of course his roles in much more fan fare genre work like Rock N Rolla, Inception and the recent Rom Com "This Means War", He is always a good actor but these roles do not showcase much of his talents as the films I mentioned in the beginning.
Inception showcases Hardy's skills extremely well, as he's playing a suave action hero, which is different than the violent/charisma he showcases in Bronson, and the gruff/brooding performance he gives in Warrior. Oh and I also think This Means War should never be mentioned on Letterboxd ever again. That film is a cinematic monstrosity.
Inception showcases none of its actor's performances, the main thing that sticks out in that film is the dream weaving story and the visuals. I'm actually very surprised that people consider that to be his breakout role when to me its a minor and forgettable one (not due to anything he did wrong but the part itself is only a minor one, Leo and Joseph Gordon Levitt , Ellen Page and Marion Cotilard had much more screen time and presence).
And I agree This Means War is a terrible film but I still went to see that in theaters strictly for Tom Hardy and you know what he made it somewhat worth it.

Can we prove that the Moon isn't hollow?
Does the Moon's mass and related gravitational field prove that it is not hollow? If not, are there any observations that indicate whether or not the Moon is hollow?
The gravitational field of the Moon would be unaffected by the radial distribution of mass within the Moon if the lunar mass were spherically symmetric (i.e., density of the moon only varied radially). For example, had the Moon been replaced with a point object of identical mass, the same gravitational field would occur at distances greater than the ~1700 km (1060 miles) lunar radius. This can be derived quite easily for a spherically symmetric moon by applying the integral form of Gauss's law. Spherical symmetry is an effective approximation for most planet-scale gravitational calculations.
However, this means that the large-scale gravitational field of a planet (or satellite such as the Moon) cannot be used to constrain the (radial) distribution of mass. In other words, the large-scale gravitational field of a planet does not convey any information about the (radial) distribution of mass. Nevertheless, if a hollow Moon is assumed, the lunar density would have to be un-physically large to generate the observed gravitational field. Furthermore, fine-scale variation (e.g., variation along the orbit of the Lunar Prospector orbiter) of the lunar gravitational field is consistent with geologic processes involving a crust, mantle, and core.
The only effective ways to determine the distribution of mass within a planetary body are:
1. Moment of inertia parameters. For the Moon, moment of inertia parameters have demonstrated that the core is ~1.4% of the total mass. One such parameter, the normalized polar moment of inertia, is 0.393+/-0.001, which is very close to that for a solid object with radially constant density (0.4; for comparison, Earth's value is 0.33). In other words, the moment of inertia parameters indicate that the core of the moon is both dense and small, with the rest of the moon consisting of material with nearly-constant density.
2. Seismic observations. Besides Earth, the Moon is the only planetary body with a seismic observation network in place. The lunar seismic data have helped constrain the thickness of the crust (~45 km (30 miles)) and mantle, as well as the core radius (~350 km (220 miles)).

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 Sierra!
Facts about Sierra
- Breed: Australian Kelpie Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Sierra's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sierra was at the Humane Society and she was scared. The employees knew she was a sweet little girl but she trembled in her kennel and hid her face. This didnt help "sell" her to potential adopters. People walked by her and looked at all the happy, yappy dogs. Only the employees knew that when you entered Sierra's kennel, she would sidle up for affection, her tail thumping the ground to show her appreciation.
So, instead of moving her to the euthanasia ward, a call for help went out to the rescue groups. We were happy to help.
Sierra is an inquisitive creature. When she rides in the car, she sits up straight, looking out the window with glee. Given her breed, we think she will be a water dog so if you have a pool, WATCH OUT! You just might have a furry bathing beauty join in the splashing.
As we learn more about Sierra we will add it here. She was just rescued and from what we can tell, Sierra is super smart, will respond well to training and while initially fearful of men, warms up once she knows you love her.

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