A DUI checkpoint overnight in Lompoc netted five arrests.
Officers set up that checkpoint in the 1700 block of North H Street for northbound traffic. They screened more than 1700 vehicles. As a result one person was arrested for DUI, officers say the driver had a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit. One person was arrested for drunk in public, two people were driving on a suspended license and one person was unlicensed.

Daytime Duels: Recapping the last three Territorial Cup afternoon games
For the first time in five years, the annual Territorial Cup football...
It's the first time that both teams have had at least seven wins heading into the Duel in the Desert since 1986. There are Rose Bowl implications for the Sun Devils, and possibly Heisman Trophy implications for UA's star tailback.
This year's Territorial Cup game is more important than it has been in a long time – longer than most players on both teams have been alive.
Here's what to watch for as the 2013 Duel in the Desert gets underway Saturday night.
Offense: If ASU tailback Marion Grice is unable to play due to an injury he suffered at the end of the Devils' win last weekend at UCLA, it evens out the talent level between the two teams significantly. While D.J. Foster and Deantre Lewis are capable backups, they haven't contributed nearly 2,000 total yards like Grice has. It's hard to replace that kind of production overnight.
ASU has the better quarterback in Taylor Kelly and the better receiving core, but all-time UA rushing leader Ka'Deem Carey is such an equalizer in this category, and Wildcat quarterback B.J. Denker – who, incidentally, leads all Pac-12 QBs with 811 rushing yards – is coming off a 19-for-22 passing performance against Oregon. Freshman wideout Nate Phillips has emerged as a capable No. 1 receiver and is talented enough to require a great deal of attention from the veteran ASU secondary.
In the trenches, both offensive lines are capable veteran units – and don't underestimate Carey's blocking ability, one of the more underrated aspects of his game.
Advantage: ASU (with Grice), even (without Grice).
Defense: With seven senior starters at their disposal, UA head coach Rich Rodriguez noted that the Devils have one of the most experienced defensive units in the country. That experience shone through last weekend as Will Sutton, Carl Bradford and Chris Young were a nightmare for UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley, who was sacked seven times.
In Tucson, UA defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel has done a remarkable job in improving a defense that was ranked in the bottom 10 in the FBS in many statistical categories last season. In fact, the Wildcats have allowed just two more points than the Devils have in Pac-12 play.
With veterans such as safeties Tra'Mayne Bondurant and Jared Tevis in the secondary and Jake Fischer at linebacker, and newcomers such as freshman linebacker (and this year's Territorial Cup Award Winner for Best Name) Scooby Wright getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks, this battle is closer than it may appear at first glance.
Advantage: ASU. Experience matters, especially in the Duel the Desert.
Special teams: Both units have struggled recently. The Sun Devils' special-teams unit had an awful day at UCLA, and it almost cost ASU the game, while UA senior kicker Jake Smith missed 2 of 3 field-goal attempts two weeks ago in a loss to Washington State.
The Wildcats are better than ASU in yards per punt and return yards per punt. On the other hand, Smith has made just 12 of 18 field goal attempts this season, while freshman kicker Zane Gonzalez has been phenomenal, connecting on 19 of 22 attempts.
Phillips and fellow UA wideout Johnny Jackson have shared punt return duties, and both have muffed multiple punts. In a game that always features a bizarre special-teams moment, RichRod may be well-suited to instruct his team to let each ASU punt fall to the ground untouched.
Advantage: Even. Neither unit is especially impressive, but ASU would seem to have the edge in a last-second field-goal situation.
Matchups to watch
When UA has the ball: Denker's newfound ability to complete a high percentage of his passes keeps opposing defenses honest enough to allow Carey to do his thing. Phillips' emergence in the latter half of the season has had much to do with that.
Phillips will presumably be matched up with senior cornerback Osahon Irabor on Saturday. If Phillips, who has scored a touchdown in six of UA's last seven games, can consistently shake Irabor (or whoever may be assigned to him), it will add an entirely different dimension to UA's offense.
Regardless of what Carey does – if the Devils hold Phillips scoreless and under 50 yards receiving, they probably win.
When ASU has the ball: The Wildcats absolutely must find a way to get pressure on Kelly. While the junior can beat you with his feet or with throws on the run to star wideout Jaelen Strong, tight end Chris Coyle and others, he has been known to make bad decisions from time to time, as he's thrown 10 interceptions this season.
UA must consistently flush Kelly out of the pocket. If he completes passes or picks up first downs on the ground, so be it. But the Wildcats must at least give him the opportunity to make mistakes.
Prediction: There are always two schools of thought when trying to forecast the outcome to any given Duel in the Desert: statistics vs. history. This year, if you go by win-loss records and overall talent, ASU wins; if you go by history – especially recent history – UA wins.
The road team has won the last four Territorial Cup games and 13 of the last 21. The team with the worst record has won each of the last three. The last time that the talent gap between the two schools was this big was in 2004, when ASU was 8-2 and UA (in Mike Stoops' first year as head coach) was 2-8. The result of that year's game in Tucson? Wildcats 34, Devils 27.
But the Sun Devils are dialed in on both sides of the ball like they haven't been since their 1996 Rose Bowl season – and thanks to UA's pummeling of Oregon last weekend, not to mention Todd Graham's appreciation of the history of this rivalry, there's not a chance that anyone on their roster will be taking the Wildcats lightly or looking ahead to next week's Pac-12 Championship.
It will be a close game, and probably lower-scoring than most people think, simply because these games rarely follow the script that they're supposed to. But despite the fight that the young Wildcats, led by their workhorse tailback, will put up in Tempe, the home-team Territorial Cup losing streak will officially end around 11pm on Saturday.
ASU 23, UA 20 (on a last-second Gonzalez field goal)

I know how time consuming scrapbooking can be. I have a whole box full of stuff waiting for me to put it together. I just never seem to have the time. I also have a bunch of wire and beads for making jewelry. On a whim, I made a necklace and earring set for my MIL for her birthday last year. She loved it, so I bought a bunch of other beads and tools. I haven't touched it since.
also going to WDW in 2 months...
gee, it might have been cheaper to keep smoking....
Hey GAE-

it's pretty interesting to look back a few years ago and realize just how far off my life is from where i ever thought it would be.
as for "Grumpy Dude" he and I just got back from lunch. he's doing... well, lets just say that he's still grumpy dude.
DS, an aquatics manager this summer, caught a 30 something being a bit of a perv with 8-15 yr/old girls in the pool. Police not amused with the dude.
It is a shame when children can't even swim without being aware of the stranger danger stuff.
That is just disgusting. Nasty freak.
Is your DS watching the Olympic trials as much as I am? I love the swimming and diving events and there are some Auburn swimmers in it this time. War Eagle!!
I watch the beach volleyball as well, lots of Hawaii floks in that one- home, I get so home sick.

A gem of a collection now on viewFallbrook Historical Society opens the Bud Francis and Parke McLean Rocks and Minerals CollectionMonday, December 28th, 2009 Issue 53, Volume 13.
Just as Fallbrook is hidden away in the hills, the Historical Societys home is tucked away at the south end of town, on a corner lot housing the museum, the "Barn," and the Pittenger House. The society has 269 members, about 25 of whom act as docents for the museum, which is open on Thursdays and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment. One of the docents on duty when I visited the museum was Ginny Grossman, daughter of Bud and Margaret Francis, the original owners of half of the museums new collection. She took me down to the Bud Francis and Parke McLean Collection of Rocks and Minerals, which is fittingly located under the museum in a converted storage room. Grossman told me that her father, Francis, started collecting rocks while operating his tractor/backhoe business which uncovered many specimens. To learn about the interesting rocks he was finding, Francis took classes in gemology and eventually learned how to cut gemstones to make jewelry with them. Also on display at the museum are colorful miniature minerals from around the world that Margaret Francis collected. The couple won many ribbons at the Del Mar Fair (now the San Diego County Fair) with their collections which their daughter has donated to the museum. The other half of the museums collection, donated by Don and Marian McLean, was the work of Dons parents, Parke and Bertha McLean, who had a large showroom for their collection. Their specimens include slab agates, crystals and mineral oddities. While many of the items in the collection were found in other states and countries, there are several from this area including tourmaline from Pala and smoky quartz crystals from Fallbrook. All of the rocks and minerals are arranged neatly, mostly in glass cases with small spot lights. Some of the tools used in rock-hounding are also on exhibit. For anyone not interested in the geologic history of the Fallbrook area, the main floor of the museum holds many examples of what life was like here in the past. From a grinding stone used by local Native Americans, to the towns first fire horse cart (bought in 1927) and a loom used to teach weaving at Fallbrook High School in the 1930s, to the model railroad running around old-time Fallbrook in miniature, glimpses into the past are found everywhere you look. While the farm equipment exhibits in the Barn are still being developed, a visit to the Pittenger House next door to the museum is a must for history buffs. Built in 1895, the house was the home of Civil War veteran William Pittenger, who was presented with one of the first Medals of Honor. After his discharge from the Union Army, Pittenger became a Methodist minister, eventually moving to Fallbrook in 1893. The house is furnished with vintage furniture pieces, including a wood burning stove in the kitchen next to an icebox, a player piano and an Edison phonograph in the living room and many other donated items including old-fashion bedding, clothing and childrens toys in the homes only bedroom. Modern renovations include a bathroom and a storage closet which eventually replaced the chamber pot and hooks on the wall. New members and/or donations of items for the museum are always welcome. For more information, go to www.fallbrookhistoricalsociety.com or call (760) 723-4125. Monetary donations, which are much appreciated, can be mailed to Fallbrook Historical Society, P.O. Box 1375, Fallbrook, CA 92088-1702. 1 comments

In an Aug. 27 statement, the bishops said the material's "insistence" on neutralizing gender and pushing "sexual diversity" is "so repetitive that...it's more about propaganda than education."
They also noted that the proposed sex-ed program – slated to go into effect in the country in 2013 – lacks a comprehensive approach by ignoring the spiritual dimension of students, most of whom say they are Catholics.
The bishops charged that the curriculum's supposed "fair solution" of allowing parents to decide whether or not to allow their children to attend is insufficient, noting that if "the program in itself is biased and morally and dangerous, it is so for all."
In contrast, the "Christian vision of sexuality could not be more positive," the bishops stated.
"It is a gift from God our Creator, and the human person, when using it correctly, is called to be like God, inasmuch as sexuality is meant by God to be a 'language of love' above all, and a means of producing life as well.
"Love cannot be separated from life. Every person is called to fullness through self-donation in love," they noted.
The bishops urged officials to reconsider the proposed program and implement changes that will ensure students receive a truly comprehensive and healthy sexual education.

The benefits of being David in an industry dominated by big box Goliaths
- Details
- Created on August 05, 2014
- Written by Ryan Bowman
Whether you're flipping through the weekly flyers over your morning coffee or driving down your local Main Street during rush hour, it's hard to ignore the bargains and blowout sales at all the big box retail outlets. As an independent retailer, the constant reminder that you're competing with the "big guys" can be a tad daunting. Being the David to the retail industry's Goliaths, however, can have its benefits. And whether or not you know it, you're applying them every time you flick on the OPEN sign and unlock the doors to your store.

Go ahead and put it on DisBoards. Beware, I will get you...eventually Final Photos!
Celebrating 20 years + in Walt Disney World !
Welcome to my latest trip report! I hope you enjoy reading along and please please comment I love to read your feedback, thoughts and experiences! (plus I spend enough time talking to myself without doing it in cyber space as well!) Let me introduce the characters on our trip: First up is our daughter Katie, who did NOT make the trip with us. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9...s400/photo.jpg But she was never further from our thoughts than our phones were from our hands. Katie is 9 (as of today!) --going on 18. While we traveled to Florida, she stayed with my wonderfully fantastically generous and patient sister Jean and her family. So my only child joined a family of 5 for the week. Mom & Dad taking a trip without her was a learning experience but she had fun with her cousins for the week, and she had school for most of the week. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5286/5...9cd5e4a838.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5004/5...45e1c0a0b9.jpg My BFF Lesley joined us on this trip. You may remember that when we were planning this trip, the total travel party was up in the air for quite a while. Finally I planned what Joe and I wanted to do & then kept options open for Lesley & Colin. A few weeks before our trip, Colin said he was staying at home. We had hoped that when we arrived at her house in North Carolina that her hubby would make a last minute change and go with us, but it just didnt happen. There are just too many things at Disney that wont work for him due to some health issues, and he couldnt see spending the $. http://images5a.snapfish.com/2323232...33432%3Bnu0mrj Lesley and I have been friends since ummm well over 30 years. https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...350_7009_n.jpg She is just like a sister to me. Les is a total Disney fan, having lived in San Pedro for a few years and visiting Disneyland probably once a week while she was there. yeah, THAT kind of fan!!! She has been in Disney withdrawal since returning tothe Northeast two years ago. I think she may have gotten me started loving all things Disney as an adult, for sure she was the one who started me collecting Disney movies long before I had Katie. https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._1358491_n.jpg https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/...290_1674_a.jpg (this is Lesley as one of my bridesmaids, 20 years ago pixiedust:) Next up is my hubby Joe. Joe is pretty adamant about me not posting his picture online anywhere.(he has forgotten about my past TR's. shhhh) During our trip, I took random photos of him holding something over his face and posted them to facebook.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-B...Joecoconut.jpg I tried to get him okay posting his picture here but have to respect his wishes so youll see a fuzzy spot where Joe is. boo. This trip was a celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary, and also coincided with the 23rd anniversary of our first date. We wanted to celebrate our marriage and to just take some time for ourselves. We explored quite a few different vacation options, but always came back to Disney it really has turned into our happy place, and continues to be so after our fourth trip as well! Finally there is me Mary Ellen aka mom, moira222, crazy lady taking food pictures, and generally a fun loving person. http://images5a.snapfish.com/2323232...33832%3Bnu0mrj I love planning trips, especially Disney Trips. I learn new things every time, and try to change the flavor of the trip each time. I actually have thought about getting paid to plan other peoples vacation but somehow dont see me finding the time to add that into my already busy schedule. https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...664_1183_n.jpg https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...98804743_n.jpg You may have noticed that my board time has significantly decreased in the past few months. I completely blame Joe. He gave me a nook color for Christmas and I have been over indulging in my reading addiction. Seriously giving me a Nook is like giving an alcoholic the keys to a bar. So my free time has been split with reading books and reading Dis and I didnt have a lot to begin with! Oh yeah, one final note to you. If you had heard on the Dis that there is a FANTASTIC photographer named Mary Ellen and you just HAD to come check out the great photos, well, you are TOTALLY on the wrong TR! :rotfl2::rotfl: That would be MEK while I LOVE to take photos, I have a tendency to go for totally spontaneous and random photos, and as a result they can be out of focus (thank goodness for auto focus cameras), too far, too dark, or the people not looking. Plus I used a random mix of cell phone camera, my Kodak Playsport camera, and my seven year old Canon Powershot. So I will just apologize now if the photos are not fantastic. Lets get this show on the road!:drive: |
Saved for links (and sorry, I see that some of my pics are huge above, I just copied them from snapfish & I can't edit the size)

Thursday June 7 Magic Kingdom Day --part 2 --part 3 & Wishes Dessert Party Friday June 8 Last Day in the World evening So Where have I been anyway? Saturday June 9 Long Road Home Photo Finish & Farewell Non disney updates: Katie's Birthday celebrations |
On the Road!
I had to work on Saturday, June 2- I work for a college and it was reunion weekend, one of our biggest events. We were all packed up, including a suitcase for Katie to take to her aunts house. She had given me big tearful hugs the day before, but today was better. Joe & Katie drove me to work, and then were off to replace a burned out headlight that Joe noticed the night before & to wash the car. Apparently you cannot leave on vacation in a dirty car. LOL
Id had a nagging tickle in my throat for a day or two that had blossomed overnight into a full fledged sore throat and head cold? :faint: I was SO NOT happy! Thankfully I got some great advice from Kathy who started her last trip the same way. I stopped for Airborne, water, and cough drops on the way in to work. I stayed well hydrated all day and took the airborne twice about 6 hours apart. MAN did the day drag on for me. I wanted to GO! :moped: Even though I was scheduled to work til 9 p.m., by dinner time almost everyone who was coming had arrived, and we had cleaned up all of the registration tables. YAY!!! I called Joe at 7 p.m. and told him I was done. I asked him to bring me some vitamin c tablets to kick the cold, and we were off!!! Since it was daylight, I offered to drive till we hit Virginia. The drive was an easy one. We had two sets of directions one from google maps, and one from an AAA trip tik. We were following the Google directions, and realized after a few hours that they were not taking us in exactly the way we wanted to go. We were going just outside of DC, and hit an ugly traffic jam there around 11 p.m. It took about 45 minutes to go about 2 miles. but that was it. The drive was easy other than that. just long. looooonnnngggg. We hit a Virginia rest stop a little after midnight, Joe had the worst cup of coffee ever, and then took over driving. Before long we were on I 95 South and were going going going. Despite our best plans, neither one of really slept when we could. I dozed a little for 15 20 minutes here and there once Joe took over, but we were chatting and listening to music and filled with Disney anticipation. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--...A-reststop.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6...r_Virginia.JPG We got to Lesleys town at 5 a.m. We drove through to the downtown area and stopped at iHop for something to eat. Sorry, I was sleep deprived and did not take photos of this one. We finished slowly & were in Lesleys driveway at 6 a.m. Not wanting to be totally rude, we just parked in the driveway, leaned our seats back, and closed our eyes. We were only outside about 15 minutes when Lesley came out with the dog. SURPRISE! Joe went inside & I walked with Lesley and the dog & then went in also. We chatted about our plans and eventually Joe and I dozed a bit in the living room. We agreed that after our showers, there was no point waiting till night we were awake with anticipation, so we were going to hit the road. By noon we were headed down 17, this time with Lesley at the wheel. :drive: Not sure if or how much Joe napped in the back seat, but I know I dozed a bit here and there on the road in between chatting. I insisted that we stop at South of the Border in South Carolina. Joe & Lesley were so not into a long drawn out sight seeing venture, so we stopped to take in the flavor of the stop, and fill up on gas. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V...ftheborder.jpg To make up for the lack of sight seeing opportunities (and the fact that I get very very silly when I am sleep deprived!) I thrilled my husband and friend with the tidbits of history and facts that our AAA TripTik included. :rotfl: Lovely little bits about the population of towns, historical figures who lived there, etc. I am a thrill to travel with, really. :goodvibes As we drove, we agreed that we would stop around St. Augustine for the night. I had already made note of a few hotels in the area for this possibility, and I called the Best Western right off of I-95 at St. Augustine from the road to make sure they were not booked (they were not). YAY we would be able to get a good nights sleep and not be comatose for our first park day!! Travel Tip: before we take any luggage inside a hotel room, Joe goes in with a flash light and checks out the seams all down the side of the mattresses of the beds. He attended a seminar about a year or so back on bed bugs and how to check for infestations. eeeewww the thought of that makes my skin crawl. So we are diligent!! we dont want any extra visitors coming home with us! Bug free, we got settled for the night. Lesley and I took a walk to the convenience store across the street. I forget what I was looking for but they didnt have it. We checked out the pool (not that we were going to use it!) and the location of the breakfast room and that was it. This was probably the only night I actually had a good wifi connection on my nook, so I dised a little, then got some much needed sleep. Despite having the option of free breakfast at the hotel, we decided to go to Dennys which was right next to the hotel. I grabbed coffee & juice from the breakfast lounge while we all showered, then we checked out & walked over for breakfast. MMMMM was it tasty!!! We had no breakfast plans for the whole week (till next Saturday) so decided to splurge on a huge vacation breakfast. Lesley ordered a Belgian waffle with strawberries. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-V...ruitWaffle.JPG Joe and I went for make you own pancake specials. I had pecan pancakes with strawberries, along with scrambled eggs, potatoes and sausage. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7...fast060412.JPG Joes was the best--- pecan pancakes, topped with sliced bananas and peanut butter sauce. (and eggs, potatoes and sausage!) https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N...anpancakes.JPG We detoured just a little for a short visit to St. Augustine. Here I did not do appropriate research. I really wanted a short visit at a Florida beach. Had I read up more I would have known that St. Augustines beaches were a much bigger detour than I had in mind. But, we walked around the monastery grounds a little, which were very pretty and peaceful. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-a...tAugustine.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-m...S8/s400/13.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Q...RQ/s400/16.JPG Then we stopped at a funny souvenir shop Gator Bobs. There were statues out front of a chain gang and Joe just HAD to stop. It was fun roadside stop, lots of souvenirs and doodads. Joe picked up a light house statue for his sister (St. Augustines light house was featured on Ghost Hunters) and a gator pencil for Katie. You might remember the he kept telling people I was going to feed him to the crocodiles on our trek, so crocs and gators were a running joke. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o..._chaingang.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-r...z4/s400/19.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-z...0GatorBobs.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-x...1GatorBobs.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1...atorattack.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-P...onshinecar.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-i...1800swagon.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t...lovethrone.JPG We finally hit the road to Orlando sometime between 10 and 11 a.m. YAY! The traveling was easy and not too much traffic. Once we hit the Orlando area, we did stop at the Orlando Premium Outlets to visit the Disney Store outlet there. While we found a good deal on fleece throw blanket of Cinderellas castle (buy one get one) we didnt find anything else that interested any of us, and really did not find their prices to be all that much better than in the parks. That was it we were done and wanted to get to DISNEYWORLD!!! continued next post |
Since I was driving, I put Lesley in charge of getting the famous Disney World sign. I was just so darn excited to be driving through that lovely arch! Before long we were following signs for Epcot Resorts and found our way to our home for the week Disneys Yacht Club! https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-H...yachtclub2.jpg Bell services helped unload our luggage, and Joe parked the car while Lesley and I headed in to check in. I had done online check in, so went there to check in. While Id read about being whisked away to the Club floor on checkin, there was no whisking! We checked in and got our gold cards, and were told wed be notified when our room was ready. I received two anniversary pins for Joe and I and that was that! Lesley waited in the lobby while I walked out to give Joe his pin. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3...clublesley.JPG I was just so happy to be there! When we came back inside, we wandered around a bit looking for elevators until a kind cast person saw the lost looks on our faces and lead the way. He took us up to the fifth floor where we sort of checked in again with the concierge staff. Our rooms not ready yet (we got there around 1 pm), and having foolishly left our luggage (with our swim suits!) with bell services, we enjoyed a delicious snack of home made potato chips, trail mix, yogurt covered pretzels and Swedish fish. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f...rge_snacks.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-l...hclublevel.JPG mmmmm. I checked out the balcony off of the club lounge and we came up with a game plan. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-T...rgebalcony.JPG we were a little annoyed with ourselves for forgetting to grab our suits. doh! We headed downstairs to find the gym, as Joe had plans to keep up his morning runs. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S...chtclubgym.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Q...clubarcade.JPG After the gym, we wandered down to the arcade and played a few games. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-N...ockey_Iwon.jpg No text message yet but we headed back upstairs to see if we had a room yet. When we got back upstairs, housekeeping was just finishing our room. By this time, the lounge had switched over to hors douevres and wine & beer. We had another snack and a glass of wine for me, a beer for Joe, and then our room was ready. Happily our luggage arrived just a few minutes after we did, and we quickly got the unpacking out of the way. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-i...blevelroom.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-F..._clublevel.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-J...rombalcony.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-J...rmbatharea.JPG FINALLY we were headed to Epcot! The walk from the Yacht Club to the International Gateway is quite lovely. I meandered a bit and snapped a few pictures. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Q...lake+entry.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Y...lighthouse.JPG I have a little more written, but need to get a good night sleep. Today is Katie's birthday and tomorrow morning we are taking her & a her friend to a water park for the day, and the next day I am taking her to the shore for the day. I'd better get some sleep while I can! |
Looks like so much fun can't wait till we go.
Thanks for heads up...be back to read tomorrow.:goodvibes
That does look like a LONG drive! But you had fun and certainly made the best of it. No fun killing time waiting for a room to be ready, loved your "snack" while you killed time and glad it was ready in time to head to Epcot! Looking forward to more.
I have been a lurker on your other reports but I guess it is time to show my face on here. ;)
Joining in. Thanks for the heads up:thumbsup2
Happy Birthday to Katie. Hope she has a great time at the waterpark today! Great start on your TR. The YC looks so pretty and the beds look so comfy. Too bad about the no whisking though, that seems like a great CL perk. |
Thanks for the heads up on the TR start. I can see your pics at work so I read the whole thing.
Boo to getting a cold. Denny had a cold on the start of our trip as well. Did you give it to him? :rotfl: Love your DH's camo pics. Very creative ways to cover his face. Next time you drive to WDW I highly recomment you take 301 south around DC. I actually get on 301 in Middletown De (where I live) and continue it all the way to Richmond. Yeah there are some lights, but it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than 95. You could probably also pick it up from 95. Its actually fairly scenic in spots. I have always wanted to go to St Augustine. Your stops look like a lot of fun! Yeah for the Yacht Club! I doubt I will ever stay there with DVC, but it looks like a wonderful place to stay. That waffle looks amazing. Which college do you work for? Just curious because we are doing the college serach for Nick now and I have been looking at some of the smaller PA schools as soccer possibilities. You can pm me if you don't want to say online. Great start! |
subbing- i have to go back and catch up. i did notice the word Nook - i got a kindle for christmas and i have not put it down. seriously, i think i read maybe 10 books and probably 8 of them were kids books. now i'm reading at least that many a month. i love how many freebies there are! and i borrow from the library too. i've only spent about $2 on books so far.
Your title drew me in !! My kids are always asking me "Are you going to put this on the Dis?" answer - "yes, yes I am." Looking forward to reading more.
Really enjoying your TR! I would love to stay at the Yacht Club one day - esp concierge level! The rooms are gorgeous - what type of view did you have?
YC was very pretty, in a formal way. the beds were SOOO comfortable! I had wondered about the whisking, i mean its not like you are wearing a sign when you walk in that says "CL" on it. Quote:
301 S sounds pretty - eventually I will be driving to NC to visit Lesley when they finally get into their own house so maybe we will try that route. DC traffic is always icky. I would love to go to St Augustine again for at least two or three days....but the call of Mickey would be nagging me the whole time. Not sure how I could get past that. :earboy2: Quote:
I am such a bookwork its not funny. and I have been going for the freebies too. I have read quite a few new types of book that I wouldn't normally read but have really enjoyed. Have you checked out the Gutenberg book project web site? TONS of freebies! Quote:
We went with the "standard" view - so we had tree tops and building tops, in the directon of the Magic Kingdom. Joe watched MK's Wishes one night from the balcony. Concierge was quite a treat for us, probably one that we won't get to do again because of the $$ (but we would love to!) |
Mary Ellen, I'm so sorry it took me a while to get back here and caught up.
Hooray for a bascially uneventful trip down. And I'm so glad that the Airborne and fluids seemed to help somewhat with your oncoming cold. Love the entry pictures to DW...always the best sight. And love the room pics. I hope Katie had a great birthday. |

ProjectInsiders.com, a Houston based consultancy providing Business Intelligence for the Energy Industry has launched a new service delivering a suite of 48 Sales Intelligence Reports tracking major Oil and Gas Industry Construction Projects in North America. The service provides 24 updates per year delivered through their http://www.ProjectInsiders.com website and is available in both .pdf and Excel formats.
ProjectInsiders.com has launched a new service to provide the supply chain in the energy industry a guide to major capital projects being developed in the North American Oil and Gas Industry. The service, which consists of a suite of title="sample reports">48 separate industry reports, is generated by a proprietary database created and maintained by ProjectInsiders.com and updated 24 times per year ensuring accurate and up to date information on major capital projects.
The reports cover major capital projects in the Upstream, Midstream, Downstream, and LNG sectors of the energy industry and provide project details such as project name, location, owner, operator, description, capacity, cost, and contractors at various stages of development. More information on the project reports and sample reports are available at ProjectInsiders.com.
The reports are designed to give the energy industry supply chain, including providers of services and equipment, an inside view of projects being developed in the industry, giving companies greater knowledge of the project development schedules, who is responsible for which parts of the project, and contacts working on the projects.
The reports are generated from a proprietary database maintained by a research team of industry specialists at ProjectInsiders.com and are continually updated to ensure up to date and accurate information. The database currently tracks over 700 capital investment projects that have been announced and/or are currently being developed. As new projects are announced, or as projects proceed in the development process, the database is updated with pertinent information and new reports are generated and released approximately twice per month.
Another feature of the new service important to the sales and business development teams in the energy industry is the inclusion of over 2600 contacts including their name, company, position and Linkedin profiles. These contacts have been identified as working on individual projects contained in the reports and provide companies with a direct starting point for marketing their products.
The new project reports services offered by ProjectInsiders.com will support companies in the energy industry supply chain to find new potential targets for the products and services. For more information on ProjectInsiders.com and their products see their website or contact Kenley Clark at 832-303-0771.

Jazz requires passion, improvisation and teamwork: All qualities that came into play to pull off Monday's Lakeshore Music concert "The Cubans are Coming" at Tempe Center for the Arts.
The Orquesta de Cámara Concierto Sur — a chamber orchestra from Cienfuegos, Cuba, on a two-week cultural exchange with the United States — along with the Northwest Sinfonietta of Tacoma, highlight the evening.
Woody Wilson, director of the Lakeshore Music series, discovered the orchestra earlier this summer on a Chamber Explorations Program to Cuba with his wife and various Tempe leaders.
"Every day we'd have a show somewhere, in the countryside or in the town — a kids show or dancers or theater," said Wilson. "That's how we stumbled on this orchestra. All of us were crowded into this 100 degree room with no ventilation. (The orchestra) came out and they didn't speak English so our interpreters told us what the program was. They played for an hour. It was the most moving, emotional thing," Wilson said.
By the end of the concert everyone was on their feet, including President of Tempe Sister Cities Dick Neuheisel, Mary Ann Miller, CEO of the Tempe Chamber of Commerce and Susan Klecka of the Mesa Arts Center Foundation, Wilson said. "Dick Neuheisel started talking about how to bring (the orchestra) to Tempe and I was trying to figure out how to make that happen (as well)," Wilson said. "Through the interpreters we found out they were coming to the U.S. for a two week exchange with the Northwest Sinfonietta of Tacoma, Washington."
That's when the real work began for Wilson and the other Tempe residents, who were so moved by the Cuban's talent and musicianship that they raised $20,000 toward the endeavor while still on the bus in Cuba. Stateside again, they had to conquer all the diplomatic hurdles to extend the musicians' residency in the U.S. for a few days to visit Tempe before returning to Cuba.
"It's very tightly controlled by the Cuban government and U.S. government down to the hour," Wilson said. "Turns out we have to take both the Cubans and the Northwest Orchestra because everything the Cubans do the Northwest Sinfonietta has to do."
Despite all the supervision, one musician defected in Miami, forcing a re-write of the original composition. "We were afraid of this," said Wilson, but it didn't stop the concert.
The passion, improvisation and teamwork of Wilson and his associates prevailed and on Monday evening, 22 people, including seven Cuban musicians, perform a specially composed work at Tempe Center for the Arts. Wilson's hopes are high for the event, a labor of love for him and so many others.
"This cultural exchange is unprecedented and hasn't been done since the (Cuban) revolution," Wilson said. "It will be an incredible concert."
DETAILS >> 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15. Tempe Center for the Arts, 700 W. Rio Salado Parkway. $25-$40; a special dinner package at Monti's La Casa Vieja is available for $43 for dinner and a ticket to the show. (480) 350-2822 or www.lakeshoremusic.org.

I don't personally think that it's actually that revealing. She isn't doing a Miley or anything...It's tight yeah, but what about leggings and skinny jeans? Aren't they tight too? Yet when teenagers wear them, no-one makes a fuss? Not trying to start any arguments or anything, just saying that she looks great! And at least the dresses length isn't that short.1142 days ago

A new poll conducted by Chinese media — has an interesting picture of NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden being painted in the Asian region. According to reports, 50% of all Hong Kongers believe that Snowden should be saved, and made that very aware at a protest that occurred today just hours after it was made public that the U.S had been hacking China for years.
Snowden made the news of China being hacked public during another round of interviews with The Guardian, and it almost instantaneously sparked outrage throughout China and its politicians.
"It's unlawful, unjustified and unscrupulous," said a Hong Kong politician at the rally. "We demand the whole truth be disclosed by the US administration, an unconditional apology from Obama and an assurance this interference will stop."

Fervor Records at Center of Sonic The Hedgehog / Michael Jackson Musical Mystery
Fans of the 1994 video game Sonic The Hedgehog tie Fervor Records to long standing musical mystery involving the iconic game and the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson.
Video game pioneer, Sega, originally tapped Michael Jackson to contribute music to their flagship Sonic The Hedgehog franchise. Jackson's involvement has been shrouded in mystery with some fans believing Michael's song Who Is It served as the inspiration for Sonic's Ice Cap level, while others attributed the inspiration to Smooth Criminal. The singer's pending legal woes and conflicting opinions regarding the sound chip in the game system caused Michael to step back from the project but his musical director, Brad Buxer, remained on the gig. Over a decade earlier Buxer was part of the popular New Wave outfit, The Jetzons.
Enter Fervor Records who acquired The Jetzons catalog in 2008. The label uncovered several unreleased tracks in the archives and re-packaged the cult masterpiece as,The Complete Jetzons. Die hard Hedgehog fans discovered The Jetzons' 1983 song, Hard Times (from the Fervor release), as the obvious basis for Sonic 3′s Icecap level. This dismisses Jackson's involvement by directly tying Brad Buxer to the much debated soundtrack. The discovery has spread like wildfire on the internet prompting multiple Hard Times/Sonic mashup re-mixes and audio wave analysis. YouTube, gamer boards and blogs continue to light up.
Sonic The Hedgehog now celebrates its 20th anniversary. A re-mastered version launched as an app for both Android and iOS earlier this month. It will also roll out as a new animated series slated for Fall 2014. The Complete Jetzons is available at digital e-railers worldwide.

Read More7 Songs From Arizona Artists In Summer Blockbuster The Frozen Ground
New Lionsgate suspense-thriller The Frozen Ground hits theaters this weekend and sports not one, not two, but SEVEN songs from the Fervor catalog, and all of them are artists from Arizona.
Starring A-listers Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, 50 Cent and Vanessa Hudgens, this true-story takes place in 1980′s Anchorage where a serial killer had been on the loose for years, killing dozens of young women and burying them in the tundra. One victim escapes and enlists the help of a state trooper to find her assailant and get justice.
Keeping up with the authenticity of the truth-based story, the music selection is derived from original 30+ year old recordings. The 7 Fervor cuts come from a handful of critically acclaimed, wildly popular bands of the early 80′s Phoenix music scene.
Two syncs come from ultra-cool New Wave sensation The Jetzons. They are 4-3-1 and Real Time, found on the Fervor Records release The Complete Jetzons.
Another one was an offering by their colleagues, Power Pop pioneers Blue Shoes. The track is Hey, from the Fervor Records release The Best of Blue Shoes.
And for fans of the rough and tumble Oi! branch of Punk, The Rogues track Triumph Over Will is in the mix, available on the Fervor Records release Oi! Detroit.
And finally, there's Loosely Tight. This band packed arenas with the glory of straight-ahead Rock and Roll, and managed to land THREE songs from their Fervor Records release The Best of Loosely Tight in the film. The tracks are: Let Me Go Crazy, These Walls Between, and Fightin' Society.
Catch all 7 Fervor tunes in the new suspense film, and get a thrill from not only a gruesome true story, but also a nice full hit of the trendsetting music scene from early 80′s Phoenix, AZ.
