The Beard
I never did like shaving in the summertime, so getting scruffy was easy. Then DW suggested(?) trimming it up, so it was longer in the chin area than the rest. A while later I got a wild hair up my, I mean this crazy idea to grow a pirate beard. ONLY for the cruise was her responce, and from there it was easy. By Nov. I had 4 inches or so of chin hair, so I shaved everything else off. But now I had a King Tut beard; a style my poker buddies quickly pointed out had been dead for centuries. Not really a problem I thought, heck, even I can braid hair. Yeah, right, you've seen the pics, it never got done. The closer to cruise week, the busier I was, and the smaller a priority it became. I know I should have had it done at CC that first day, or during the first sea day up on deck, but...
Finally in Cozumel, as we were walking the two blocks to the Megastore (think giant superwalmart), we stopped along the way. 4 braids for 10 dollars. We said no and kept walking. But we talked about it and agreed it was worth 5-7 bucks, and I'd get it done on the way back. First words out of the lady's mouth were '$6 U.S.'. Sold! I assume the position and now understand why little girls cry when they get their hair braided. Yeah, they pull your hair hard to weave it tight. (Nope, not a tear here). So I'm sitting there and Mr Polite comes up asking if I'm the dude with the two dollar bills. I had spent a few next door, and they are rather different. He was so nice about asking I traded him my last 3 bills and 4 dollar coins for Mr Hamilton. Braid lady got a 5 and the last 2 dollar coins in my pocket. They couldn't stop talking about how pretty the coins were. I'm telling you people, these brand new dollar coins make excellent tips. Although I burned through 50 of them, I was also frugal. It worked real well for me since I'm not overly fond of giving my money away. The two dollar bills didn't go over nearly as well, even though they are worth twice as much. Anyway, I really liked this new style, with the beads, so much so I kept it for a few weeks after the cruise. I'd probably still have it, but it's not really a style that goes over well during job interviews. |

After staying up way too late last night on the V, I was up at the crack of dawn. Yeah, right... My eyes opened at 10, and I was moving around by 10:30. Really, what AM I missing during the am hours? So darn easy to justify. I left the room around 10:45 and got into Topsiders before they closed down Bfast. I had a quick meal, then brought some bacon back for the other sleepyheads in the room. With the kids club keeping the boys up past midnight every night, they slept late most mornings. Thankfully there were only two early morning to deal with, the character Bfast and the last day. Since today wasn't one of 'em, I was in no hurry at all.
DW finally got me up on deck around noon. We watched a tour of the ship on the big screen (now that's lazy!), then did more similar thrilling things. Even when you are doing nothing the time flies by. We sailed around Cuba all day, close enough to see the mountains. I lost track of how many times I asked DW a variation of 'Is that Fidel sitting on that hill over there?'. Dinner was again fabulous. Granted, the food was very good; of a quality and service I seldom spring for. But I'd forgotten how much fun conversation with interesting folks can be. The food was almost an interruption we were having such a good time. Tonight was the night we took the neat sunset photos. It didn't start off promising, as there was a thick layer of clouds almost to the horizon. This resulted in a rather strange top and bottom that looked very similar. We took dozens of pics at various settings, and a couple of the zoomed in shots made my top 10 for the week. I didn't see any of the shows last time, so to get that monkey off my back we trucked over to the theatre to see comedian/ventriloquist Mike do his show. He was very entertaining, did a funny cruise related routine (Big terminal, big ship, big theatre, but stateroom?). He had a oversized tennis ball, cut along a seam so that when squeezed, it's mouth would open. Attaching a pair of eyes, he quickly gave it personality. We had a lot of fun. My notes say yet a few more drinks were consumed, then back to the room to be in bed by midnight. According to the TV, we are already at Grand Cayman, just 7 miles away. Only we are still sailing at a steady clip, and I can't see anything. That was too much for me to dwell on at that point, so I went to bed. |

Okay, so when last we talked I was regaling (boring) you with activities on Castaway Cay. Well, we got back on the ship and tried to take a nap but the ship's maintenance guy came. We'd spoken to our stateroom host that morning about a light fixture on the veranda that was loose and looked like the electronics could get wet. So of course the precept of Mr. Murphy required that the ship's maintenance guy shows up while we're trying to nap. Turns out EM#2 was there and answered the door and almost didn't let the man in because his parents were sleeping (good boy!!!). But I heard something of what was going on and jumped up to let the man in. I'm just impressed that they came so fast!!!! Then it was time to get ready for dinner. And the kids were late. Now my note says "kids late" so I guess it must have been both of them. But that wasn't the pattern for the week. I have to say that EM#1 did a much better job this time. EM#2 on the other hand... well get to that. But we got into a "discussion" about curfew tonight and whichever one was mad at me at dinner time had his butt firmly planted up on his shoulders by the time we got to the dining room. Ah ha ha... not a problem. There's a teachable moment in this (oh, these poor boys have SUCH a PITA for a mom). I took the child aside and reminded him that in social situations he's as responsible as everyone else for making sure everyone has a good time. Wow! You mean the world doesn't revolve around me and what I'm feeling?!?! I know it's a difficult thing for a teenager to understand but he seemed to get it. Like KC said we changed the seating arrangements for the night. One of the things we always did in Scouting was to put all the boys down at one end of the table and all the adults at the other. That way we could carry on a reasonable conversation and so could they and we wouldn't have to bore each other. It worked out really well and I thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful dinner companions! After the comedian we went for a walk and ended up playing shuffleboard on Deck 4. That's something I missed out on doing last time. But it had to be done because even I know you need to play shuffleboard when on a cruise. It was fun! Of course KC beat me. He usually does. But that's what I'd expect from my own personal Rhett Butler. He keeps me on my toes... or as this quote from the book Scarlett puts it ... "Rhett was [in her heart]. Laughing at her, outwitting her, challenging her, surpassing her, dominating her, sheltering her." That's the King that I love and the wonderful man I married. So we finally get back to the room and curfew for the boys comes around. Now my rules were simple. You will show up at X time for dinner and you will be in the room 10 minutes after the Stack closes. Believe you me, it doesn't take long for my overactive imagination to start imagining some group of 14yo boys playing a roughhousing game that ends up with one of them (my son) going overboard and the rest of them being too scared to say anything becuase they know how much trouble they'll get into. So I head out to guest services to see if they can page him or something. The whole way I'm freaking out. The very nice CM at guest services says it happens every cruise (like I care! MY CHILD is not on every cruise!!!) and that they have a process. He paged all the cleaning people that crawl the ship at night and ask them to look out for the child. I didn't even know what he was wearing becuase the last time I saw him he was heading to the swimming pool. So I guess that's all I can do on that front so I head back to the room. As I walk in I'm telling KC that he has to get up and help me look for the boy. I tell EM#1 to stay by the phone in case anyone calls. KC had time enough to swing his legs over the side of the bed (yes, he was already in bed... I swear we are definitely different in how we handle things ) before the phone rang. It was guest services telling me EM#2 had been found and was on his way back to the room. When he got there I growled at him to get in bed and we'd talk in the morning. Then I sat on the veranda for a while trying to calm my racing heart before I could head to bed. Ugh.. teenagers!!! Okay, now that I've rambled long enough, lemme see what pictures I have from Sunday. This boy will eat any and everything! Oh, I forgot one thing we did was EM#1 and I went and did kareoke. He did a great job!!!! If you look carefully you can just about see Fidel hanging out on the mountains Here's KC hanging out on the veranda. Don'tcha just love the beard! Here's a few of those sunset pictures we talked about: Here's my menfolk. I'm not sure where we're going but everyone looks happy. EM#2 enjoyed figuring out how to do the napkin folding Look what I found! I need new stuff for my kitchen anyway, huh? I guess that's about it for now. Time to get ready for work anyway. See y'all later. |
Great updates! Sorry to hear you were in panic mode...I would have been, as well.
Great pics!!!

Tues (AKA Grand Cayman)
This old man was up at 7 and went straight to the V. We idled into port next to the Carnival Legend. It seemed to take two tries, but we were anchored and stopped moving by 7:30. The steady tendering began when the 1st one pulled away at 7:52. They had three boats going back and forth, and I watched them for a long time. We had no excursions planned for today after our do it yourself trip to Hell got cut in a cost cutting move. DW showed up with some bacon at some point, and I came back in around 10:30. Ready by 11, our first stop was to Guest Services to replace another lost key. Again they changed out all 4 after I confessed to having more than one clueless family member who couldn't keep track of their room key if it was tied to their neck (oh yeah, a lanyard!). A full search was conducted (again), really, but after 15 minutes or so of looking around a small room, getting a new set is so much better then the mounting frustration of looking for another few minutes in the same places. We missed the folks at the Excursion Desk again. They are only open a few hours a day, and we had questions about tomorrows stuff. Next was Topsiders for lunch, only they were closed too. I got totally bummed, let it ruin my whole... nah, just popped outside for a nice Goofy meal.
We asked the boys what they were looking forward to here, and got similar responces. With a been there, done that attitude, they said there was nothing to do there but shop, and didn't want to go ashore. They were having a good time at the Stack, and didn't feel they were missing anything. Done deal, we were off to deck 1 to a waiting tender (no lines by now), and were islanders 10 minutes later. We slowly strolled by the library, turned right and went on over to the post office. A 75 cent stamp (for a letter) cost 94 cents U.S., so I traded a dollar for the stamp and a GC nickel (dime sized). The lowest of the 4 slots is for foreign mail, clearly marked. Then the quest began as we walked further inland and away from the port area. After 6 or 8 blocks it began to look hopeless, so we walked over to the cop who had been eyeballing us something fierce. I guess he thought I was one of those dorkey tourists looking for the seedier side of town. When I explained our mission he was all smiles and confused us with options. I was quite impressed with the large number of uniformed law keepers around the port. I guess they decided long ago that tourists are sacred and must be tended to. Of course the further out you go, the less there are, but they seem to be all over the place. Anyway, about another 10 blocks in (careful, no sidewalks anymore), we struck gold! A mini-mart that even had a Pepsi sticker on the door!! Three 2 liter bottles could get darn heavy if the stuff didn't keep me alive so well, so we trudge back. Heading back in we find the corner that our bus driver from last time dropped us off at, so I head straight to the cigar shop. Only been here twice and already know my way around. Dang, I would have patted myself on the back, but I couldn't lift my arms. Three various Cubans were $81US, then we resumed our journey back. Even though we had NO plans to buy ANY windows, Hyper insisted on shopping for them the whole time. We got back on the ship at 2 (again no tender lines), and I became one with the V again. It is again a picture perfect day, 77 degrees, light breeze, light chop. There was no sign of the tropical storm/hurricane Ida that came by 10 days ago. Oh, this is the life... |
Ahhh, KC...you're starting to make me regret my cost-saving strategy of not booking a CAT5 or 6 for our next cruise. We did spend quite a bit of time there, but of course I'm being cheap...I loved sitting out there just gazing at the scenery. Off cruise topic, though I must have you and your wife's opinion on something...when you decided to move did you already know the neighborhood you wanted to move to? Or did you just take a chance when house-hunting?

The job is in NE Orlando, and I assumed that the further out you go, the more affordable the area is. DW was able to scout out the neighborhoods during the two months she was here and I was still in Tally. We ended up almost an hour away from Mickey's house.

Tues PM
I made the mistake of lying down at 3:30 and lost an hour. I went outside to see we had done a 180 in the bay and were headed out. DW said the Legend left half hour ago. The NCL ship on our other side followed us out as I watched GC shrink away.
Tonight we are in AP for the show. Contrary to what has been widely reported, Mickey's head does NOT explode, although most of the other stuff was true. The disappearing walls was a neat trick when you looked across the room, and having Mickey around is always fun. Our rotation was PLAAPLA with the show only on the second night. Around 9 I headed up to deck 9 to smoke one of my new cigars. I also brought along my rolling cooler full of beer as I intended to camp out a while. Our mini-navigators (delivered w/ the lanyards) had all the latest updates and listed the gathering as yet another potential meeting place. A couple of guys showed up for a while, and several more DIS'ers stopped by to say hello. The evening treats served at the Cove Cafe were alot less impressive this time, as only grapes and cheese were available. |

Okay, so let me see if I can get caught up a bit. As I left off, it was Sunday night and EM#2 "forgot" what time it was and freaked me out! Well, Monday morning being a sea day there was no need to wake anyone up. I had a leisurely morning drinking coffee and trying to get the fish extender stuff done (nope,.... finishing the goodies that we were distributing was one of the things that just didn't get done before we left). After the guys got up, the kids went to the Stack and did whatever kids do there and KC and I went bumming around. As he mentioned we saw the ship's tour on the Ariel TV. That was cool!!! We were supposed to meet some folks from our cruise thread at the Cove Cafe but it turned out he was sick, poor thing. Never did get to meet ya Kevin. Bummer! But then we headed back to the room. We met the kids there and finished the fish extender stuff. It was a lot of fun just hanging out with the family while we got this done. I thoroughly enjoyed it! That night was formal night and we didn't bring any formal stuff. Now I know that everyone says we could have gone to the dining room anyway, but I just didn't feel right about that. I remember last year dressing to the 9s for formal night and it being my totally be a princess night. I figured us in non-formal clothes might spoil it for someone else. There's so many other places to get food that we could afford to miss one night and not even feel it. Well, almost not feel it. We had our dinner at Topsiders. The steak was EXCELLENT but it took quite a while to get our food. After dinner we cut the kids loose and KC and I went to see the ventriloquist. He had some funny bits. I thoroughly enjoyed him making the tennis ball come to life. But then he went downhill after that. No problems.... we just left. There's plenty else to do ;-). And the kids were on time tonight. Whew! KC pretty well covered what we did at Grand Cayman. Not much except the search for Pepsi. It was kind of fun seeing the non-touristy areas of the place. Sad too, though. A few blocks away from the port everything starts looking rundown and seedy. It's quite a shame. That night while KC did his cigar night thing I went to the Promenade Lounge and played music trivia. It was a lot of fun but I didn't do near as well as I thought I would. I figured I'd do pretty good because I listen to a lot of Disney music on i'net streams. But there was a team of young adults that just out and out KNEW their stuff. That's okay... I had more fun on the team I was on. The little 4yo girl on my team was just adorable! Okay, now that I'm sort of caught up, time for some pictures, eh? Snoozing boys... since they weren't going ashore at Grand Cayman there's no need to wake them. Welcome to Grand Cayman Some of their areas down by the port are just beautiful The post office A pretty spot we passed in our quest for Pepsi Away from the port areas look more like this KC in the cigar shop Didn't go in but just loved the way the sign looked with the beautiful sky behind it She sure is a beauty isn't she? |

To V or not to V
I think the only valid comparisons come from folks who cruise both ways. I therefore feel qualified to babble on about it. With the V you get privacy and convenience, and maybe a bigger room. If you go to deck nine like I did the other time as a substitute, you get 2 minutes of exercise getting there, the same view (actually a choice of views), and the opportunity to meet new friends. About the only time it would make a BIG difference would be getting stuck in the room for illness, mobility issues, or a place to wait while children napped. While both cat 10's and 4's have nice decors, I didn't get on a boat to watch TV. Seeing other ships, passing islands, or just the horizon, I want to be outside seeing the stuff I can't see anywhere else. But you can see all these things from both places, so...
Was the V enjoyable? Oh very! and convenient too. Was it worth the extra money? Well, sorta. I know I will never be in a larger cruise ship room, on any line, and the privacy was nice. I can say been there, done that, and have something to brag about. Will I ever pay for another one? No. Aside from the fact that it will be years before we sail again, I sure could have used the extra $1K (GTY 6 v GTY 9) on stuff we missed. That kind of dough buys alot of Bingo, Shutters, and spa time PLUS a few tables at Palo's. While you could see alot being on the upper decks, it's almost the same view as deck 9. I'm a value kind of guy, and after hanging out on deck 9 for a week (Apr 08) and this week, deck nine wins. I think it all boils down to privacy verses value. Convenience doesn't even enter the equation because I refuse to believe folks wouldn't walk an extra few minutes several times a day to save that much money. And here's the value question you should ask yourself to help you decide. If you used the money you would have spent on a V by getting a lower cat and an OBC that equals the difference, would you change your mind? If, after a couple of weeks, you can't think up stuff you could do, but MIGHT not otherwise using the OBC, go ahead and get the V. And while I'm on the topic of room location, I want to weigh in on which side of the ship is best. We stayed in 8588, on the good side, er, right side of the ship. I thought it was the better side for the following reasons. When we first got there, we could see our car in the parking lot, the terminal, the drawbridge, yep, everything! The other side got the refueling barge. We waved to the gloved hands from the V as we sailed off. When we backed in to CC (both times), we could see the island, family beach, the excursion boats and jet skis go by. The other side saw pier construction. Grand Cayman was a wash, as both side saw the same thing pretty much. At Cozumel we again backed in and our side could see the island and pier, the other side saw a cruise ship parked 35 feet away. What I can't include on this list is the fireworks they shoot off our side of the boat. I'm not sure if it was our location of being high and towards the rear, or what the rule is, but we were asked NOT to watch the show from the V for safety concerns. (Or was it just Mickey pulling my leg?) According to DS 14, who was on restriction that evening, a CM stopped by to check. The very best part was that our room was only 25 seconds away from Topsiders, or 30 seconds to the drink station (not using the elevator). I highly recommend this room, the ones near it, or a room near the elevators on any deck. Your fish hanger and door magnets will help you find your room. I hope this helps. |
Yes, we are. We are juggling two scenarios. 1 - townhouse in Orlando area that we rent out most of the year (vacation rentals) but stay in for about a month of the year ourselves. 2 - pick up and completely move to the Vero area. We're coming down in May sans kids to start looking around. Hopefully that'll help us decide our next move in this crazy plan. We've been talking about getting out of the northeast for some time now and are ready to do something about it.

January 2005 WDW and Eastern Cruise
We are planning a Disney Cruise in April of 2011 on the Wonder to the Mexican Riviera and that has me thinking of my last trip. It was our first cruise and just had to be Disney!
We went on the Eastern Caribbean Cruise in January 2005 and LOVED it!!! We had planned to spend 7 nights at WDW and 7 nights on the Disney Cruise. It was a big trip for us for several reasons. We were going to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, its now 30 years and still counting. We fell in love at Disneyland and felt it the best way to celebrate! Also we had never taken a trip this big nor had I ever been out of the country. The trip was full of firsts! When my parents heard about the trip they decided to join us. They quickly decided that the entire family should come and they paid for everyone to go! 15 people in all with 12 family members and 3 tag along friends. We stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter at WDW and had a wonderful time. Lots of good memories were made there. The staff at the hotel was wonderful taking care of a missing power cord for my husbands C-PAP machine. The power cord got left at home and my husband needed it badly. The head of maintenance tried to find a power cord that would work and when he could not he took my husband all over Orlando looking for a cord. It was amazing the way they made sure he had what he needed! My parents are handicapped and needed lots of extra attention. The Cast members at the hotel and in the parks made sure they were taken care of. They felt so special there. On the cruise they were quick to get an extension cord so my husband could plug in his C-PAP when he slept. Our daughter, who was 10 at the time, was made to feel safe on the ship. She felt like she could wonder the ship and if she needed us she could page us. Anything my parents needed was quickly attended too. All the shows were wonderful and we wished we could have seen them all several times! Next time we will go to manatee show and then go again in the evening! The food was wonderful and our server, Raman, was great and made us all feel special. The rotational dining was fun and kept things very exciting and interesting. We enjoyed just walking around the ship. It is beautiful and romantic. St. Martian was drab. We wished we had stayed on the ship! We took the 2 flags tour and the Dutch side of the island was poor but clean. The French side was dirty. They took us to the Big Mall on the French side. It was nothing more than a flea mart! Not much fun and I dont suggest it. Maybe another excursion would have been better. St Thomas was beautiful! We did not stay there long enough! We had a short time to walk around a few blocks away from the port but loved the feel of the island. Castaway Cay was the best part of the trip!!! We thought we would snorkel for an hour or so and then explore rest of the island. We had so much fun snorkeling in the family area we hardly got out of the water the entire day!! When we first started snorkeling our daughter was scared to death of the fish! She had a panic attack and climbed onto her dads back! That did not last too long as she found too many fun things to look at and realized the fish were not going to hurt her. About the only time we were out of the water was to go to the BBQ for lunch. Even my parents had fun exploring the island on their electric scooters. We were sad when the trip finally ended and wished we could steal some Pixie Dust from Tinker Bell so we could stay on the ship forever! |

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
The majority of our pets are adopted in our home state of Georgia. However, we have had many successful out of state adoptions as well.About Our Rescue Group:
Canine Pet Rescue Corp (CPR)is dedicated to reconditioning wayward dogs, inparticular German Shepherd Dogs, with the end goal of placing them in a stable environment, which harbors positive behaviors from the dog. Many times, a dog will remain in our program for months, until the right environment is found. CPR believes that quality over rides quantity. We advocate responsible pet ownership and believe that education is key to providing wayward canines a strong and successful life. We believe that canines can be therapists, teachers, motivators, and friends and the love of the DOG carries us to the goal of rescuing, rehabilitating, and training these misplaced canines. We are a small group, made up of various rescue individuals that assume the responsibility of caring for, providing medical care, rehabilitating, and training misplaced or owner surrendered canines. Many of the dogs within the organization have been mishandled or placed in the wrong environment and are in desperate need of mental stimulation, training, and a proper structure in their lives.
Donate to Our Rescue Group...
http://www.caninepetrescue.com/Donate.donate.0.htmlCome Meet our Pets:
All appointments are scheduled between the adopter and one of our adoption counselors, after the application process is completed.Our Adoption Process:
Our adoption process begins with the adopter filling out our online adoption application. Vet references are checked first, as we have a stringent policy requiring all current and past pets to have proper vetting provided. After the vet reference is complete, personal references are contacted, and a home visit is scheduled with the adopter. Finally, the adopter is invited to meet all of the dogs that might be a fit for their home.Fees range from $200 to $400.

Indonesia sees a significant growth in the number of visitors this year. To have conveniently pleasurable trip to Indonesia, a visitor can follow these useful travel tips:
Health: Immunisation against hepatitis A is recommended for all travelers. Depending on length of stay and itinerary, vaccination for Japanese encephalitis, rabies, typhoid and hepatitis B may be needed. Malaria and dengue fever exist in many parts of the country. Therefore take adequate protection mosquito bites and keep anti-malarial medicine with yourself. Drink water only from sealed bottles, and avoid swimming in freshwater lakes or streams as disease-causing organisms such as schistosomiasis may be present.

For formal occasions, either a suit or a long-sleeved, good quality, batik shirt are recommended for men, whilst evening or cocktail dresses are suitable for women. As Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, modesty in dress is advised. Always remember to cover up if you intend visiting a mosque.

Offices: Most government offices are open from 8 am to 5 pm. Monday through Friday. Commercial offices and businesses are open 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. Some offices are open on Saturday from 8 am to 1 pm Hours for businesses and commercial offices are staggered.
Electricity: Cities run on 220 volts, 50 cycles AC system. Rural areas may only be able to provide 110 volts.
Important Dos and Don'ts
- Calling people by crooking your finger is considered impolite;
- Patting someone on the head is not done among adults and should even be avoided with children;
- Climbing over monuments or places of worship is considered highly disrespectful (In Bali, waist sashes should be worn when visiting temples);
- Take off your shoes when entering a mosque or temple;
- Take off your sunglasses inside someone's house, unless you have an eye disease;
- Use your right hand when receiving something from or giving something to someone. Talking with one's hands on one's hips is considered impolite.

Survey response, part 2
Posted by Huw,Continuing on from part one, here are my responses to several more themes raised in the survey comments:
Missing sets/data and set images
There were quite a few comments about missing sets and the quality of set images, and requesting higher-resolution images. Some people asked if we are going to add sets prior to 1966 to the database.
We are always happy to be told about missing sets or be provided with missing data or better pictures. In future it's likely that I'll make it possible for you to upload your own pictures of sets, but until then, please use the contact form to get in touch.
At the moment, we have no plans to go further back in time than 1966 or include every set (service packs/brick boxes etc.) from 1966-70, mainly because the period is too complex and doing so would require plagiarising existing sources such as the Collector book, which I don't want to do.
In the New Year I am going to make a concerted effort to scan the instructions cover of every set I own (some 2000 or so) to improve some of the older images and once that is done I will ask for community help to fill the gaps where needed.
Since 2007 I have been collecting the hi-res set images from LEGO.com but haven't made them available yet, primarily to conserve bandwidth, but maybe now is the right time to add them.
Advanced search/results sorting/improved data mining
This is definitely an area that could be improved so I will give it some thought.
Site design
There were a few negative comments about the site's design, but there was probably more positive ones. I did, you'll recall, tweak the design a while ago (removed the blue background) and it was disliked so much I reverted back to the old one. While I agree it does need to be freshened up a bit, my view at the moment is 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Nevertheless I will continue to tweak it from time to time and have plans to freshen it up in the New Year.
iPad App
Several people say they don't like the iPad/iPhone apps or that they don't work properly. Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about them as they are written by 3rd parties, so I encourage you to contact the authors directly via the appStore.
You want more news, more frequently posted and from more countries. If you would like to report on news from your country and you are over 18, get in touch. If we have more contributors we'll have more articles.
An interesting comment from someone was that the news always revolves around the 'cult of the new'. Well I guess fundamentally that's what 'news' is, but it made me think that maybe we could also have articles about historical topics, not necessarily always written by staff members but potentially by anyone. So, if you have an idea for an article, 'The history of LEGO police stations' or something like that, then get in touch.
Part 3 to follow...
17 comments on this article
Wish I was 18?!!!!!!
^ & ^^ Really just to ensure proper use of English, grammar and punctuation. I'm not saying that those under 18 don't have a grasp of these but it's more likely that those over 18 do.
Also, in your 2 cases, we're pretty much sorted for US and UK news, it's other countries that we need correspondents for e.g. mainland Europe, Australia, Asia, South America etc.
^^Huw, if you took 1960's set data from Bricklink, that would be all right, wouldn't it? As well, could you add set 11998 (PAB) to the database?
^^ I know it's a gross generalisation and I don't mean to offend under 18s: all I'm saying is that it's more likely that a older person can write to an acceptable standard than someone who isn't.
However, to avoid digging myself into an even deeper hole, if anyone -- under or over 18 -- wants to become a correspondent, email me to explain why you want to be one and why you think you'd be suitable and I'll judge each applicant on their merits.
@T&T, I have no plans to add PaB as it's not really a set, is it. Your 'copy' of it will be different to mine and everyone else's.
Huw- Speaking of grammar, you spelled survey wrong :P Or is 'qurvey' the way you like to say it :P
Really nice updates!
I received an official bubble pack promotional item of two Gold 2x3 bricks several years back. E100 or some number like that. I did submit the pictures, and the exact number, but this was never posted. Is that they type of set, you consider to be still missing? If so, I can post from my home computer. If you have my email as part of my Login, please contact me via email.
I have all of the Harry Potter sets, including bubble packs. So if you need any of those, please let me know.
Hello Huw,
Some descent articles about older sets, design, building techniques, ... would be very interesting.
Presumably it would need to be quite in-depth to be considered descent :o)
Huw, I own two copies of a set (1209, a servicepack) that isn't listed. If I want to add it, do I take a great photo of it and sent it to you? :)
Also, if you want a nordic correspondent I might be able to help out. The problem is that Lego sales and such stuff is quite rare in Scandinavia, and english isn't my first language. But on the other hand, bluemoose might vouch for me.
@Huw-All right, fair enough.
So who do we contact if we want to contribute?
@Duchessa, yes please, [email protected]
There's going to be a part 3?!?!?!!?! Wow Huw you and the guys really do care. :)
What about my "delete BrickLists and reviews" comment?
Why there isn't anymore the US/UK availability field?
^ It's now under the 'Buy' tab.
Commenting has ended on this article.

That's a good quick Mickey, Dust! I can draw an awesome Garfield, and mushrooms, that's bout' it.

And sadly - not even that very well
Although your girls are quite the artists!

Game Developer's Conference 2014 Recap
I intended to have this up last week but recovering from GDC was a fulltime job and the proverbial dog ate my homework when Google Docs made the rough draft of this article disappear. However at the time of writing the GDC Vault has not updated with audio/video of the event so hopefully this post will have a more timely release around the same time as GDC Vault. All of the photos were taken on my phone (apologies!) except the above header which is courtesy of the GDC website.
Lets get to the talks!
The first day of GDC had the Audio Bootcamp hosted by good friends of Designing Sound: Garry Taylor and Damian Kastbauer. It was super super informative but the talks were super short and not the easiest to take notes during! So instead I live tweeted as much as I could so please check out my Twitter feed from around that time and more importantly check it out on the GDC Vault.

hi everyone! it's a rainy day here and we finally have buds on the trees! i hope all you ladies had a great mother's day too! we are i think just starting too adjust with our new life. it's so weird not having time constrants! but i miss Al so much. we ordered his headstone about 2 weeks ago and they have already installed the base at the cemetary, i think this might be the start of realization also starting. the lady from the monument company called me and said the person who does this said that we did not seem to put much on the monument and did we want to add more to it, she seemed a little put off that we did not want any quotes at the bottom.
carley and i have put the laminate floors in all except the baseboards and we have also finished painting the kitchen cupboards (it's great to have a 50's style kitchen so you can paint the cupboards). i also had a youngman, our son's friend take 2 loads of "stuff that will come in handy" to the dump. did you know that nails can break into pieces! - lol. Gracie Joy is a real little firecracker, she's almost 5 1/2 months old and weighs 6 pounds and is into everything, she also likes wearing "doggy" clothes and has to be tied up even in the yard since she is a car chaser! i have met alot of "new" neighbours who ask me if i have just moved into the area, i laugh and say no we've lived down the street for 20 years! i has reading an article about widows(ers) and they say that after about 2 weeks the novilty of people helping out stops and then people do not want to talk to you, it's like they might catch something, believe me it's so true! i hope that everyone is doing well, and i've give anything to be caring for Al right now! debbie |

Hi Deb Sound like you are doing pretty good. I am so glad. I have been busy in my garden and also putting in lots of seeds to bed in my new mini green house. I found it at the end of the season last year-$12 dollars -it had been 60. I bought it and waited all winter to put it up-It has been fun to use. So far I have not seen a monarch, but I am watching. On mother day, I told my kids to stay home and let their kids Mother them. We will be seeing all of them in another week for a Birthday Celebration. We had a wood duck treat us to a Mother's Day show. She had seven baby duck hatch in our wood duck box and they all jumped out that morning as we sat having our Coffee. Really Neat. Take Care and do report in every so often. I do think about you often. Connie |

Things can be a little slow on some of these forums; I hope that means all is going well and that folks are able to get in some outside activities now that spring has finally sprung... although we had snow flurries this AM down on our end of the Big Lake. I understand, I know how coming down after full time caregiving and a real change in your life is a huge adjustment. With Mom in LTC now I've got more free time than I know how to fill, but I'm getting a little better at it, and getting a little better at looking after myself as well. |

On arriving at The Hardwick, we were shown to our room by a pleasant member of staff and we were delighted with our choice of room - Room 8 on the first floor. It was immaculately clean, always a good start, there was a Roberts radio, flatscreen TV, sofa and a well appointed bathroom with huge fluffy white towels.
Deciding to explore a little before dinner we went into the bar area where they have wonderful huge leather plush settees to sit and relax. In fact so plush, you just want to sit there and cosy up for a long, long time.
Our starters were delicious and for our mains we had a sharing platter of A Taste of Local Beef - Grilled Fillet, Ox Tail Suet Pudding, Rib Burger with Creamed Mushrooms & Onion Rings, Braised Shin with Confit Shallots, Seasonal Greens and Sauce Bordelaise served on a fabulous wooden board. To follow I had a A Jar of Lemon Crunch with Italian Meringue which looked amazing.
I didn't take any photographs of the meal because I wanted to enjoy the evening free from a camera, but if you look on the internet you will see photographs showing examples of the meals served at The Hardwick.
Stephen Terry has a loyal following of fans who make the journey to The Hardwick at Abergavenny and I am really looking forward to seeing him on the BBC Great British Menu - the Welsh chefs' episodes - starting on 21st May 2012.

When ever you want to. They are very hardy. |
I am also in MI, moved a couple smaller RoS this last spring. No leaves showing, but they came back fine, one small 2ft, one about 4ft. If I absolutely had to move them this fall, I would do it as soon as the summer heat breaks and water a lot. Mulch well. Get them growing roots before winter gets here. I have had good luck with mine in moving, but have seen and heard of RoS not making it thru winter colds. Winters now do seem a bit warmer than in the past, maybe that will help if you move in fall. |

But as promising as Auburn Hills' new economy sedan is, what we're really looking forward to is what Ralph Gilles and company over at the SRT division can cook up. And the folks over at Motor Trend think they've got a pretty good idea of what to expect.
For the Dart SRT4, Dodge could go one of two ways: turbocharging the existing Tigershark 2.0-litre four, or shoehorning in the new all-aluminum 1.8-litre turbo four from Alfa Romeo. Since the latter would likely push the Dart SRT4's price up over $30K and competitive levels, the smarter money's on the former. But in order to compete with the likes of the Ford Focus ST and Subaru WRX STI – and outshine the 285-horsepower Caliber SRT4 it succeeds – we could be looking at nearly 300 horses under the hood.
Couple that with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission (we'd still hope for a manual), upgraded rolling stock, brakes and suspension, and a more aggressive aero pack and we could be looking at one very mean pocket rocket indeed.

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 Jason!
Facts about Jason
- Breed: Manx
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Jason's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Jason, male Manx/Bengal This is Jason. He was the only kitten in his litter with a tail. He has all the traits of a Manx. His litter mates loved playing with his tail. He loves to be around people and likes to give kisses. If you have questions about Jason please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Kiss for Kittens
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jason, a Simpsonville Manx kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Manx for sale in Simpsonville, or seeking a Manx kitten from a breeder in Simpsonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Simpsonville 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 Simpsonville 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 Manx breeders who help with Manx rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Simpsonville paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm a quilter who knows about sewing with cotton, but was thinking of branching out into other fabrics, particularly Sari fabrics. I know nothing about working with this type of fabric. Can anyone give me some pointers on what type of thread, needle, tension, and special handling of these types of fabrics? I just want to branch out and play around with it but don't want to ruin it with lack of knowledge. |

I'm no expert, but you will probably have to experiment on scraps. Tension should be less of an issue, but needle size, using ball point needles, and presser foot pressure will matter. Also, depending on the strength, thickness and how ravel prone the fabric is, you may want to zig zag the edges of the fabric and then stitch the seam inside of that. |
I always advise people to sew on a scrap of the fashion fabric, and almost always do myself, to see if my needle is ok, tension, stitch length, etc. Sari fabrics will likely be slippery, so you'll want a nice sharp needle, probably smaller in size. Some recommend pinning to tissue paper if it's too slippery while you cut it. I have a padded canvas top table so don't need to do that luckily :) If the fabric is very thin/slippery, your scissors may even give you trouble, you'll feel every nick you didn't know your scissors had! I don't do much quilting, but I do have a block of the month kit, I like to do 1 block when I finish a hard sewing project, I call it my palette cleanser lol. Someday I'll finish all 12 blocks & join you on the quilting forum for advise on how to finish it! |
knit fabric tends to stretch, so sometimes a stablizer is nessary. And a ball point needle for stretch fabric. some knits do ravel,I taught my husband how to sew & he does the quilting now, so when he's working on a quilt that is made of knit fabric he uses my serger on the knit that ravels & it work just fine. |
Some sewing machines will skip stitches or not lock stitches on knit and/or slippery fabrics. |
- Posted by chickadee__3a (My Page) on Mon, Oct 8, 12 at 9:26
I would think that using an even feed foot might help when sewing that type of fabric.Good luck with your projects. |

Wed, Jul 10, 13 at 7:22
We recently extended our patio and now have a new huge bed to fill. I am eager to plant but I also want to flood it with tulips and daffodils for spring color. Ideally, I would plant both my perennials and bulbs now so as not to disrupt any new plants by waiting until fall to plant the bulbs. So, my question is: can bulbs be successfully planted in July in zone 5 (Boston)? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My question would be can you even find the bulbs for sale now? I really don't think planting your bulbs will bother your perennials. They won't have spread much in the next couple of months and the bulbs will be put in spaces between them I imagine. Bulbs look far better in clumps than individually so you could leave gaps for them if you are concerned. Plant with a narrow trowel (you can buy a bulb trowel) and I'm sure your perennials will be fine. I garden between mine all the time. I just thought of something else ... the watering needed by perennials planted in July would not agree with the bulbs. In the Autumn the watering will have reduced. |
- Posted by susanzone5 z5NY (My Page) on Wed, Aug 7, 13 at 18:12
If you live in Boston, now is NOT the time to plant those bulbs. They have to make roots in fall and then be subjected to a winter's cold dormancy period. |

A Drive-In Movie, Mechanical Bull, and Lots of Fringe: An Inside Look at Chanel's Métiers d'Art Fashion Show in Dallas
Upon arrival, Chanel invited guests into a tent morphed into a 1950s drive-in movie theater. (Each lady was escorted by a male model in a puffy coat.) Waiters walked around with cherry vodka drinks in styrofoam cups, popcorn, soft pretzels, and retro candies. Equally as breathtaking as the clothing that would soon be debuted were the rows of vintage cars, beautifully restored and glossy. Attendees were tucked into the cars and on rows of bleachers to watch the premiere of Karl Lagerfeld's film, The Return, starring Geraldine Chaplin, who played a brilliant Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in 1954, when the fashion designer reopened her couture house to not-so-positive French response but the open arms of the United States. Especially, Dallas.

Max Payne's going through a lot of changes in his third game: a change in locale (from New York to Sao Paolo), a change in appearance (from youngish and weary to middle-aged, bearded and weary) and a change in tactics (having added sticky cover and zoom aiming to his repertoire). At heart, though, he's still the same tormented, painkiller-addicted anti-hero he's always been, and his game's still about shooting from the hip while diving through the air and dodging bullets in slow motion. To get a little more insight into what's changing and what's staying the same, we caught up with Max Payne 3's art director, Rob Nelson, for a quick chat and a little bit of exclusive new gameplay footage.
Nelson also let on that some of the inherent weirdness of earlier Max Payne games will resurface in the sequel (although we probably won't see anything as extreme as the first game's nightmare sequences). Most of his emphasis, though, was on gameplay – and specifically on the challenges of adapting Max Payne's run-and-gun style for a modern audience without losing what made the series' gameplay unique. We won't know for sure how well they did until our first hands-on with the game (which releases in March 2012), but for now, we like what we see.

That's tough. Overall, I probably like Beaches better for their normal standard burger, however the toppings bar at Pecos Bills would put them over Beaches for me.
If its just a standard burger, I'd go to Beaches. If I want a burger with all the works I'd go to Pecos.

I have been busting my rear all day trying to find a pattern for the cbk body, I found a knock off head at a flea market a couple of months ago and finally pulled it back out of the closet to "work on" (this is what I call my feeble attempt at getting all of the supplies ready, i.e. notions, patterns, ect.) To my suprise all of the body patterns seem to be AWOL. It would be great if someone had one I could use. Doesn't matter if it's real or knock off, as long as it fits the head. Thanks a bunch.

I don't have a pattern for the smaller CPK's but I do have a pattern for the soft sculpture type.. if you're interested.. you could email me directly and i could send you a pdf.. you could take a look at it and scale it down a bit to make a smaller CPK body to fit a head.. also.. you can buy the bodies in kits on ebay still for the original doll baby heads.. email@example.com |
I was going through my craft things today and came across a body and a head. If you want them they are yours for the shipping price! |
Oooops! It's NOT a doll body, but it is the material the cabbage patch is made from. |

Walther von der Vogelweide
Walther von der Vogelweide
biographical name(born c. 1170died c. 1230, Würzburg?) Greatest German lyric poet of the Middle Ages. Of knightly birth, Walther was educated at a monastery school and served masters in several courts. His poetry goes far beyond the artificial conventions followed by other minnesingers by introducing an element of realism. He emphasizes the virtues of the balanced life, in both the social and the personal spheres. More than half of his approximately 200 extant poems are political, moral, or religious; the rest are love poems, among them the popular Unter der Linden.
This entry comes from Encyclopædia Britannica Concise.

MAC'S BLOG: Are High Fuel Prices the Problem?
High costs are universally blamed for the decline in the numbers of people learning to fly and the overall contraction of private flying activity. It seems logical that the cost of flying is a critical factor in anyone's decision to learn to fly, or to continue flying. But is cost the biggest constraint, or even an important factor? That's what Redbird hopes to discover by offering avgas for $1 per gallon at its San Marcos, Texas facility for the month of October.
