Why the DDP won't work for us anymore....
When we went last time it was in August. With the heat we absolutely had to have midday breaks. The parks close earlier. I did multiple dinner reservations without really thinking this out. My kids whined because they wanted to stay in the parks but I didn't want to lose meal credits. It wasn't anything over the top but I got the moans and groans for a few minutes.
We will be going again in August. My son will be a Disney adult with only an adult appetite 50% of the time. Especially in the heat. I'm thinking of what I would like to do and I'm thinking we will mostly do late breakfast buffets or lunches since we will hit the parks at opening or AM EMH. We will still leave midday and come back out in the evening to hit the parks. I know they'd rather not have dinner reservations especially since the parks close earlier around late August. Last trip we would hit the parks by 8/9 am, midday break around 1, back to the parks around 5/6 with a dinner reservation around 5. Parks close at 9. Sometimes 7 so we couldn't go back to the park. Next trip I want to be in the parks by 8 or 9 am...late breakfast/early lunch, leave park around 1-2.....back in the parks by 5/6 and they close at 9. Sticking a dinner reservation in there sucks. We'd have 1-2 hours to do rides in the evenings. Also I've never eaten my way around the WS! I've always done dinner reservations on Epcot night. This time I want to eat my way around the world at least two nights out of our 7. So no dinner reservations on Epcot nights. Just lunch if we want. When I went in 2009 my kids were child priced. We had a nice room discount and paid for the DDP. Since my kids were little we did tons of character meals and got our money's worth. Xh was also a big non picky eater. I could make ADR's around the kids schedule and he'd eat whether he was hungry or not. I was also a bigger eater then. We saved over $200 by doing the DDP. My kids were younger and less time in the parks was sufficient for them and me while pushing a stroller! Now that they are older they want to ride every single ride and some over and over again. Also our eating habits have changed. My df is a big eater when he's in the mood. If we have an ADR and he isn't hungry he won't eat or just order something small. He's a huge appetizer person. Now that I've changed my eating habits and made a lifestyle change I don't eat as much and often like to do just apps. If we are enjoying ourselves and want to cancel an ADR we will without worrying about credits. DDand I can share cs meals. I can get a Mickey bar later and pass on the cupcake dessert at CS. We won't do as many character meals. I've been reading about this for a few weeks now and it's making sense to not go with it. But at one time we got out money's worth. |

I think you are right.
In all of our trips, we have never done the DDP. Even when it was free during our trip. We have always gotten a better deal with a room only discount, and the DDP wouldn't be a good fit for us either. Many folks love it, which is great for them. Honestly, all the counting credits and planning the whole thing out seems more stressful than I want to deal with. Eating around the world showcase is fun! We will be there is Aug., too!

The dining plans are not like they used to be when they were first offered. They were designed to get people to stay on property and spend money at Disney vs. other places. No car rental means no split-trip to other attractions like Universal or Sea World. No leaving property to eat someplace cheaper. The more time you're on Disney property, the more money you'll spend at Disney. Simple marketing plan.
The "problem" is that this was extremely effective. The deal was a good one. Give me cheaper eats, and I'll stay and spend all my money at Disney. It was so effective, that Disney has been ratcheting the price up and ratcheting down the benefits ever since. It's gotten so bad, that now you need to do a cost/benefit analysis just to know if it's going to save money or cost more money above and beyond the OOP prices. The problem is that people have fond memories of the dining plan (when it was clearly a good deal), so they just keep doing it out of loyalty. The other problem is simply cognitive dissonance. You show them that it's a bad deal, but they rationalize and do it anyway. Lastly, people are just plain bad at math. Sorry, but it's true. If you want Disney to change their policies, vote with your pocketbook. Don't buy into a system that causes you to lose money and give up your ability to make thoughtful choices. Unfortunately, I may be in the minority, so I expect the status quo to continue for some time with the dining plans. |

Also my SO isn't a huge planner. If I tell him I have all of these ADR's booked he might break out in a sweat. I'm thinking of booking 3 must do's and on a day by day basis see what we can get IF we feel up to ADR's on that particular day.

Welcome to the club. Disney has raised the price and taken away the value over the years so the value for most is gone. Or the value is minimal vs. all the downsides.

Honest question. Do people on the dining plan get to skip to the front of the line in some instances? Maybe at CS? My friend is convinced this is the case but I've seen no mention of this on the boards.

No, not at all. They don't even know you are on the plan until you get to the front of the line to order.

Sadly I won't be back for a while, the meal plans and prices have gone crazy while the value and service have declined.

I think I'm getting on the non-DDP bandwagon for our next trip too. I've math-ed it to death, and it comes out really close in price, plus there's not a whole lot of QS restaurants we really want try. I'd rather just pay OOP and eat exactly what we want! And I felt so guilty for throwing away half a pop at every QS meal. DH and I could have shared at pretty much every single one!

Only thing I can think of might be the Fantasmic Lunch/Dinner package, and you don't need to be on the Dining Plan to do that.

I never drink soda but I will order iced tea. I also have a sports bottle with me that I dump it in before I leave so it isn't going to waste.

In addition to all these reasons that the DDP does not work for many people... Many people are of the opinion that the DDP has driven up the cash price of meals. Increase the cash cost of the meals and the DDP seems like a better value when you start crunching the numbers. Although, DDP price has increased so much that cash is a better deal now.

One trip it was like light bulb went off. In order to get the most out of the DDP I was actually ordering the most expensive items on the menu, when there was actually another item I would have actually preferred. Being brutally honest with myself, for my next trip, I looked at the menus and figured exactly what I really actually wanted. I refuse to skimp on vacation, so didn't even consider the prices. I don't always want a dessert. Alot of times I would actually rather have two appetizers than anything listed under entrees. I would rather actually have water than soda or tea. Anyway, I quickly found that OOP was actually cheaper and I would be ordering exactly what I actually want. Last Sept, Oct/Nov, and just a few weeks agp (May 10th-20th), we decided to rent a car, so ate alot of meals offsite. The meals were much better and much cheaper and did not take long. In fact, getting away from the parks for awhile made a very nice break. I can't see us ever using the DDP or Disney transportation again. We have also fallen in love with Universal and can't see ever going down there and not doing at least a day or two over there. They give wonderful discounts for renewing their APs and also great discounts in the parks at all CS and TS restaurants and shops. I just received a Pin a couple of weeks ago for Universal for 50% any of their resorts for AP holders. Disney never sends me Pins. My last two trips have also been offsite (over at Westlake Town Center in Oct/Nov and at Wyndham Bonnet Creek a couple of weeks ago). I paid $64.00 per night for my stay in a one bedroom villa at Westlake and $89.50 per night for a one bedroom villa at Bonnet Creek. Bonnet Creek is actually inside the Disney gates, so is closer to the parks than alot of the WDW owned resorts, we rent a car anyway, and love going right offsite for our meals. Give me one good reason we should pay Disney's high prices for their resorts and meal plans. I can stay in a one bedroom fully equipped villa with washer/dryer and full kitchen at a Deluxe resort cheaper than I can use my AP discount for a tiny Value room. Disney would have give me alot more incentives to ever come back fully onsite or to use their meal plans. Last edited by aubriee; 06-01-2013 at 10:43 PM. |

A few years ago, we saw someone who thought that! We were in line at Flame Tree BBQ, when this lady came barging through. When she was called on it, by several patrons, she sarcastically waved them off, saying she had the DDP, so got front of the line access, ahead of all of us. She was quickly informed that quite a few people in that line also had the DDP and had been waiting and she needed to get to the back of the line. The CM at the nearest register, explained to her that having the DDP did not mean she did not have to wait in line for meals and for her to please go to the back of the line. She continued to argue that her travel agent told her that they would have immediate access and would not have to wait in any lines at either TS or CS restaurants, since they had the DDP. It was obviously their first day in the parks. I bet her TA got an earful when they got home. I also saw it at Le Cellier one September night. There was a family trying to check in right ahead of us. They were arguing that they didn't need a reservation, that they had the free DDP, and their travel agent had told them they got immediate front of the line access at any restaraunt they wanted to eat at, so she had to not only let them in, but they got seated before everyone else that was standing around there, waiting to be called. lol When the CM tried to explain ADRs to them, the mom got even more upset, yelling "you don't understand, I don't need those. Disney gave us the free dining plan and we're using that. We don't need a reservation and we get in ahead of all these other people, because we have the dining plan". They demanded a manager be called and refused to move until one came out. After still being turned away, they finally stomped off, yelling that they were going to guest services to complain, and that they knew their rights, and that manager and CM were going to be fired, and it wasn't right that Disney had sold them this free dining plan, then wouldn't let them into restaurants to eat. lol Again as an AP I used the DDPs 4-6 times a year, ever since the very first year Disney started the DDP (back when an appetizer and tip was included and it was actually a good deal). Never, never, never has it allowed one to skip to the front of any line (counter service or table service). Now the Fantasmic dining pkg offered at Brown Derby, Hollywood & Vine, and Mama Melrose give seating in a specific area of the stadium and you don't have to wait in that long line to enter the stadium for Fantasmic. You do have to wait in line at the restaurants though. However, anyone can purchase the Fantasmic pkg, you don't have to be on the DDP to book it. Off topic sortof, but if you are staying onsite over at Universal and show your room key, you do get seated ahead of offsite guests, when checking into most of their TS restaurants. At Disney restaurants though, everyone waits. It doesn't matter if you are on the DDP or not, onsite guest or not, AP holder or not, etc. Last edited by aubriee; 06-01-2013 at 02:52 PM. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Raymond de Badrihayé was born in Bruges (Belgium) in 1941. He has been a member of PSA since 2000. Photography has inspired him since his early childhood. Over the years he studied the subject in depth and came to master it mainly through home study. As a self-made photographer, he learned how to handle and apply all aspects of black & white as well as colour photography, both in digital and film formats.
At the start of his photographic career he purchased a camera with a fixed lens, which he used mainly for family and holiday pictures. Soon he became a member of several photographic societies, which led to the purchase of a camera with interchangeable lenses. As a result of this, his development gained considerable momentum. In 2001 he took the step to digital photography and added bird photography to his many photographic interests.
He achieved his first success in 1976 at Ieper (Ypres) in the Euro-Picamera contest, where his picture "Deugniet" (Rascal) received an acceptance. Following this he took part in several more exhibitions and contests. He was awarded a number of distinctions and prizes both on county levels as well as national and international levels. He received his PPSA in 2012, his EFIAP in 2004, and his AFIAP in 2001. In addition to PSA, he is a member of the West Flanders Union of Pictures and Slides (WVFD), the 'Belgian Federation of Photographic Circles' (BFFK), and the 'Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique' (FIAP).

The great thing about the release week of a new Taylor Swift CD is that everyone — that includes mega-fans, "which famous ex-boyfriend is this one about?" decoders, and outright haters — wants to talk about it. That's just how it works when you're one of the biggest stars on the planet.
This fact is especially true for Red, Swift's latest album, which dropped yesterday. The disc finds the pop-country vixen pushing her musical boundaries further than ever before, and it's causing a ruckus in the industry. "Country radio has been a little taken aback by it because it is so obviously pop," Scott Borchetta, the President of Big Machine Records, Swift's label, tells EW. "[But] we haven't' been hiding behind what she's been doing." he says. "She wrote this record with Max Martin, and Shelback, and it's a big pop record with some country leaning."
"We'd be in the studio," Borchetta remembers, "and I'd say, 'This record wants to do more than what you're doing to it, and she'd say, 'What do you mean?' and I'd say, 'If it's country, run toward it, if it's pop, run toward it, if it's rock, run toward it. You have artistic license to do your music. I want to encourage you to go to the edges.'"
And go to the edges she did. Red finds Swift flirting with U2-esque arena rock on "State of Grace," dubstep on "I Knew You Were Trouble," Katy Perry party-pop on "22," handclap-happy piano celebration on "Stay Stay Stay," and crooning alongside Brit Ed Sheeran on "Everything Has Changed."
It's a lot to digest on a first listen, but now that you've had a whole day to process Red, let's talk about the songs that work and the ones that don't: READ FULL STORY

"It seems like it's (the economy) still in the doghouse. People are scared to buy things. They're buying lesser quantities."
Matthew D'Arrigo, vice president of D'Arrigo Bros. Co. of New York Inc., and co-chairman of the Hunts Point Terminal Market, said the market's customers feel the pinch.
"There's no question that within our industry, the foodservice segment is far more affected by a poor economy than the retail end is," he said.
"The retailers are in some ways even enhanced by shoppers having a few less dollars to spend because the most effective way to feed people is through the retail stores. That's generally true."

Can anyone recommend blueberry varieties for the western edge of the North Carolina Piedmont that would get my season going earlier? This year I started picking rabbiteyes (Climax, Premier, Bluebelle, Woodard) about June 27, but I'm wondering what I could pick before then. I picked some Legacy blueberries on June 17, and they're definitely better than nothing, but they weren't very sweet, and of the two Legacy bushes I planted one took about twice as long to reach the same size and start fruiting well as my rabbiteyes, and the other Legacy has just barely survived for 6 years and probably isn't as many inches tall still. Anyways, I'd hope for something a little better adapted to my conditions (more like the rabbiteyes), but I could work with anything like the Legacy for an earlier start on the season, all the more if the taste were better. What's the earliest blueberry I could try? What's not quite as early but still at least a week earlier than the rabbiteyes and worth growing for relatively better flavor? Shazaam, if you see this, I'd be interested to hear more of what's worked for you. Your mention of Reka in another thread caught my interest. I also planted an Oneal over a year ago, but I didn't let it produce any fruit this year so it could pull all its energy into getting established better. If you know, I'd be interested in your experience of relative ripening times. Thanks, everyone. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I started picking a few Reka berries in late May, O'Neal during the first week of June, and Southmoon and Duke during the second week of June. This was my first year for the first three, and Duke definitely suffered in comparison. It's still good (it's a blueberry, after all), but I really enjoyed the plump, sweet O'Neal and Southmoon berries. Reka was very good, as well, with more tartness than the other two. What are you still picking at this point? My Tifblue, Bluebelle, and Brightwells are winding down -- they'll probably be finished in another week or so. I'm hoping to extend my season next year with some Ocholockonee and Centurion rabbiteyes that I'm currently growing out, both of which are supposed to be very late. EDIT: Never mind the question, Eric. I just read your other post, and it's very helpful. I'll continue the conversation in that thread since it's OT for this one. |

O'neal were the earliest for me in Raleigh. They were blooming in December and continued blooming off and on til Spring. Flavor was great. They were more than a month earlier than every other variety but I didn't write anything down so I can't be sure. A friend that was visiting me in the Spring noticed my O'neals and she said "Oh, you must have been one of the few that found real O'neals" evidently people ordering from one of the large commercial nurseries got miss-labeled plants. I got mine from a variety of sources, even the farmers market here in town. All of mine bloomed at the same time and fruited at the same time so I'm pretty sure they are O'neals. My Aronia bushes fruited earlier this month. It was nice to have another berry crop following the blue's but the juice was mighty tangy. I doubt anyone would buy it without it being sweetened. |

Floyd, your climate should be cool enough for northern highbush, no? Thats mainly what I grow and my weather is not all that different from yours (I am further north but in the lowlands by the ocean). The bushes always look really healthy, even in the heat of summer, unlike my cherries and currants which get unhappy looking. Get some Earliblue and you will have really early berries. Scott |

Love is in the air … love and Bible sermons. This next season of "19 Kids & Counting" will feature the courtship of daughter Jessa Duggar, 20, who is being pursued by her Dad- and Jesus-approved beau Ben Seewald for lifelong baby-making. The lovebirds met in church — where else? — and asked their parents for permission engage to monitored texting and phone calls about, People scandalously dishes, topics ranging from theology to Scripture. But don't call what Jessa and Ben are doing "dating." Dating, as Duggar patriarch Jim Bob explains, is when a couple pairs off alone and "that sometimes leads to a more physical relationship." Jessa and Ben are formally "courting": their love affair will blossom under the watchful eyes of both of their parents (and the 47 children they have between them). Courting, explained Jim Bob, "is getting to know each other in a group setting, both families spending time together and the couple setting goals together to determine if they are meant to marry."

It's a bizarre story, but someone the other day I spoke with mentioned a dab in the ear can heighten or help restore hearing (not completely at once mind you, but after 45 minutes to 1 hour people hear better).....And although this has nothing to do with HYP and tinnitus, read the very bottom of http://www.space-age.com/aromatherapy/hearing.html, were it talks about some oil called HearNow 2 or something - it mentions tinnitus!Again, I know this is only for open-minded people, and I know many will smurf at this thread, but I can't even get a hold of it for another 2 weeks, and remember I don't have bad HYP anymore or tinnitus. I'am doing this purely to increase my hearing which flucuates (sp), and since my 10 year old hearing aid was dropped, it ain't working perfectly anymore!
Skeptical But Willing... When I first heard about Essential Oils, I more-less discountedthem. But as I became aware that many of them are mentioned in theBible, I decided to withhold my opinion until I knew more of them. I have a hearing problem that not even hearing aids help indistinguishing the words the minister in church is saying, orfamily members at the dinner table. My grandson brought me two ofthe oils, Young Living Essential Helichrysum Oil to put on my earand Young Living Essential Valor oil to rub on the bottom of myfeet. I did as instructed to please my grandson. After about fourdays I thought I was hearing better, but not sure of it. After aweek there was no doubt about it. I was able to hear the ministerand take part in conversation where only one person was speakingat a time. Also, for the first time in several years I was able to hearthe birds singing outside the house. It was so wonderful hearingthem sing. If putting a drop of oil in your ear and on the bottomof your feet sounds ridiculous in helping a hearing problem,remember that God provided the oils to keep us healthy, andbecause of Him they do accomplish wonders.

Van Coke Kartel: Clean Punk, Blurry Lines
November 30, 2007 – 12:02 by JohnFrancois van Coke is a very busy man. If you look on band management agency Punkskelm's artist listing, you'll see the man's mothership Fokofpolisiekar, soloist Francois Van Coke and the newly launched Van Coke Kartel. Three artists. One man. Let's take a look to see if the flammable frontman's energy managed to match the hungry Cape Town crowd's appetite at the Mercury last night for the launch of Van Coke Kartel's self-titled debut album and support tour…
Taxi Violence frontman George van der Spuy and bassist Loedi van Renen made a guest appearance, and for a brief, blurry moment, you could be forgiven for thinking that the five-man entourage was, in fact, an incorrectly billed Fokofpolisiekar.
A few words with Francois and some gig action |
We won't make any bones about it: Van Coke Kartel's music is an unabashed, carbon copy of that of Fokofpolisiekar, the band which kick-started Afrikaans punk and raised up more than one controversial incident. From kroegbaklei to injuries of revelry to the famed Vok God incident, these guys have some stories to tell.
So, what is Van Coke Kartel? A purist way of telling Hunter and Johnny to take a break? A way for FOPK mastermind Wynand Myburgh to regain the reigns? Does it matter? The house was so full of loyal fans – yeah, people do travel from the Northern to the Southern suburbs – that even the guys standing on the back benches were screaming along with the three-piece SA music heavyweights. It's good to see Van Coke himself getting some guitar time, while Myburgh and poster-absent drummer Justin Kruger thrashed out, also going tekere with T-shirts and promo flyers for upcoming band aKing.
The band ticks nearly all the boxes. They have a magnificent presence, a genuinely iconic punk image and are well ahead in their merchandising (beforehand, press were given a copy of the CD and a branded guitar plectrum and matchbox.) However, what they make up for in gold print they could work on in their repertoire. Still, they had a good 300 people chomping their teeth in appreciation. This band, too, knows how to deliver clean punk rock.
Francois was very kind in his backstage chat with us, and always has been when I've approached him for photos and videos. But there's a certain restlessness behind the man's eyes, perhaps to do with the fact that right after the show, they packed up and headed straight for a Pretoria gig scheduled for just 24 hours later. I hope to see VCK allow him, Wynand, Justin and the whole gang of FOPK skelms still achieve their full potential as not just a punk band, but a voice that says, "not us. You."

After reading this article, I think you must have found some of Elvis Presley's old prescriptions that he possibly left here, because the story does not in any way reflect the Regency Hotel today. If you would have labeled it "Fiction," I would have deemed it an uneducated script with a touch of humor in content. However, trying to represent this story as legitimate, when it is nothing more than seventh-grade reading, poor English, lies, racial annotations and slanderous in content, is contemptuous. Hopefully, you will become more professional and start printing reality in your articles with the use of more proper English.
Please print my version of reality.
Darla Calvert, general manager (and proud of it)
Regency Hotel
Room service: David Holthouse, let's start from the beginning. The elevators at the Regency are perfectly safe: They are inspected on a weekly and monthly basis by a professional elevator company licensed by the City and County of Denver. Everyone who has any education past elementary schooling understands a simple fact of electricity. If someone was to shove a bent key into an electrical socket such as an elevator button, that person would probably be lying on his rear end from electrical shock.
As for your racial statement, Mr. Holthouse, regarding cinnamon-skinned men speaking Spanish and the insinuation that it is okay to be a white professional doing cocaine in the bar bathrooms in LoDo, I personally thought racism was a part of the past, but you have proved me to be wrong. Just because we are Mexican, are we not allowed to have expensive belts, boots and hats? What do you have against Mexicans? If you and your Doc Martens were not in the bathroom looking at every crotch to see if you could find some cocaine in someone's pants, you would not have been called a faggot -- if, in fact, that statement was even made. This dramatic touch is most probably just another lie you made up.
Furthermore, I have gay friends, and they are no different than you, me or anyone else. In fact, I used to have a best friend who was a gay female, and she was one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. So be very careful making slanderous remarks about people's skin and sexual preferences. I really think you should seek professional counseling, as it appears you have some personal inhibitions, especially with skin color and sexuality.
Also, if you would only try to educate yourself in spelling and speaking Spanish properly, it would be much appreciated. There is no such word as "heinie." Was this another one of your racial comments?
The owner of the Regency Hotel stated to me that you misquoted him in several parts of your ridiculous article and neglected to even print the facts, even after you promised you would print his statements exactly as he made them to you.
At last, let's talk about the man by the pool, if you were in fact on your way back from the club to the hotel. You obviously were staying at some other hotel, as the outdoor pool is at the north end of the property, the club is in the middle of the property, and the tower is at the south end of the property. Even someone who has been drinking can see the tower from a mile away (the tower is where you allegedly resided the night of your stay), which is not even close to the pool area. This appears to be another fabrication of the truth.
Daniel I. Gonzalez
Regency Hotel
David Holthouse responds: In the past, I have enjoyed the company of crackheads while they were sucking the glass dick. Therefore, I know precisely what a crack pipe looks like, and I do believe that was a crack pipe I saw in the Regency Hotel's professionally inspected elevator. So while I appreciate Ms. Calvert's offer to send me illegal drug paraphernalia through the mail, I think it would be in both of our best interests if she refrained.
Lee does exist, or at least he did last month (Lee's lifestyle, like that of many who stay at the Regency, is not one that promotes longevity). I have no idea if his name is actually Lee, or what name he checked in under; I must point out to Ms. Calvert the outside possibility that some guests of her fine establishment are not entirely honest as to their identity when they fill out their registration cards. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Gonzales's assertion that the Regency's elevators are professionally inspected and perfectly safe. So are most carnival rides, which are still scary - just like the Regency's elevators.
As for "heinie," I'm pretty sure that's universal language for "piece of ass," but given the noise swirling around that conversation, it's possible I misheard the orange-booted fashion critic, and, if so, my bad. But no way did I misquote Regency owner Art Cormier: I taped our phone interview, and anyone who wants a copy of the tape is welcome to it.

An Unused Room Transforms Into The Ultimate Party Prep Space
Kitchen designer Nadia Subaran crafts a butler's pantry fit for the next-level hostess and/or wine enthusiast.
By Sarah Bray
At this year's 7th annual DC Design House, a six-bedroom, five-full and two-half bath estate just outside of Washington D.C. was completely revamped all for a cause. Benefiting Children's National Health System, 29 spaces within the 8,000 square foot home were tackled by the area's top talents in interior design and architecture. Tapped to convert an unused area off the dining room into a space dedicated to the needs of entertaining was expert kitchen designer Nadia Subaran of Aidan Design. Below, we examine the functionality housed inside this upgraded pantry.
The space appeals to the wine enthusiast, featuring two Thermador wine columns and custom cabinetry designed for ample storage of stemware. Photo by Angie Seckinger.

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 Sadie!
Facts about Sadie
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sadie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Sadie's Foster Home is located in Palmetto Fl, Florida but all meet and greets/pending adoptions will take place at my Main Rescue Location in Middleburg, Fl
Sadie is a gorgeous, black and tan, female, German shepherd. She is a little over a year old, AKC Registered, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, flea, tick and heartworm preventative.
Sadie was owner surrendered into rescue because her former owners had issues with their Rental property which did not allow German Shepherds. Since her arrival in her foster home she is a bit shy at first and takes her some time to warm up to new people. A more laid back environment is better for Sadie, and she will also benefit from someone that can spend lots of time with her. She does have slight separation anxiety and we recommend crating her when left alone but not for long periods of time. Sadie gets along well with small and big dogs, cats we are unsure of. She loves to play fetch and we are working on her leash manners. Over all Sadie is a sweet, young German Shepherd that is looking for her forever home.
If you would like to offer Sadie the family and home she deserves or need additional information Please Email:email@example.com
An application needs to be completed prior to a meet and greet. All dogs in rescue are temperament tested and have basic obedience implemented as a part of their daily routine. All behavioral issues are dealt with according to each case scenario. All dogs prior to going home are up to date on all vaccinations, neutered and or spayed, and microchipped.
Adoption fees range from $100 - $350 depending on age, degree of personalized training, and if proof of bloodlines can be provided.
Application, home-check, and references must be approved prior before final adoption.

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

To get the most out of streaming video, downloading music or researching for a school paper, you need enough computing power to make it doable. A good home computer needs to be a versatile machine that fulfills the many needs of your family, all without costing as much as having another child. The best home desktop computers have solid processors, abundant storage for music and photos and useful support should anything go wrong. Home computers like the Velocity Micro Vector, the HP Envy and the Dell XPS offer a variety of upgradable options so you can create a home computer that is perfect and powerful enough to do exactly what need it to do. To learn more about home computer technologies and to find the best one for you, read our latest articles on home computers.
Home computers come with many different options and configurations, so you'll want to find the configuration that is right for you and your family. When you're looking at your options, it's important to understand something about the computer's performance, memory and storage, design and help and support to find the best desktop computer.
Performance The processor is the brain of the computer. It provides the power your home computer needs to perform its tasks. The processor should be the foundation on which you build the rest of your computer. Most Intel processors will provide a good base level of graphics and audio capabilities for your PC. Look for a processor that has multiple cores and higher speeds, as both of these features will improve the computer's performance. Dedicated graphic and audio cards can increase the base processing power for audio and graphical performance. If you opt for graphical upgrades on basic systems, you will generally get enough power to do beginning-level gaming on your home computer.
You might not think wireless computing is important for a desktop computer; however, a good wireless card allows you to get high levels of internet performance without running another wire to your desktop PC. The best home desktop computers are compatible with 802.11ac wireless technology. Systems that use this wireless standard let you access ac-wireless networks that are more than twice as fast as networks set up with older n-wireless technology. Plus, ac Wi-Fi technology is reverse compatible, so you can run an 802.11ac device on an n-network or an 802.11n device on an ac-network. Additionally, Bluetooth technologies are useful for connecting to printers, keyboards, mice and other peripherals wirelessly. Look for a computer that has built-in Bluetooth 4.0 technology.
Memory & Storage Home media files, such as music, movies and photos, take up large portions of hard drive storage space, and you'll need a desktop PC with the proper amount of storage to hold all of your files. Even better, look for a system that can grow with you and has room for expansion. Many tower computers have open hard drive bays that allow you to add an additional hard drive in the future for further storage space.
Memory is also important. RAM is the lifeblood of any good home computer, and a lack of RAM will bog down your computer's speed. Generally, 8GB of RAM is enough to run a majority of basic programs smoothly. For heavy photo or video editing, you'll want about 16GB, and anything above 16GB is generally only needed if you want to do high-end gaming.
Optical drives are important for both storing and retrieving information. Blu-ray drives let you watch Blu-ray movies on your computer, and most optical drives include a DVD burner for creating CDs and DVDs.
Design The size of your home computer's tower will influence where you place it in your home, with smaller cases and multiple ports offering a greater variety of computer placement options. Look for computers that have USB ports on both the front and back of the tower. This gives you more options for how to connect peripheral devices to your computer, and it can help prevent the jungle of mish-mashed cables extruding from your PC.
The types of ports on your desktop computer are also important for determining what types of hardware will be compatible with the system. HDMI ports allow you to connect to both HD video and sound to displays. Memory card readers let you access the data on memory cards without having to plug an adaptor into a USB port. USB 2.0 ports are good for connecting low-performance peripherals like keyboards and mice, while USB 3.0 are best for higher-performance peripherals like external hard drives and media devices that need quicker transfer rates.
Help & Support Purchasing a computer is a large financial commitment, so the support you receive with this purchase is important to consider. A warranty gives you assurance that if something goes wrong on your computer, you will have a way to fix it, and the best manufacturers offer support you can actually use, as opposed to a sea of technobabble. Look for companies that have invested in simple, helpful and informative support tailored to meet your needs.
To get the most out of a home computer, it is important to find one that has sufficient performance capabilities and enough storage and memory for the programs you want to run. The right computer for you will be designed to fit into your home and provide you with help and support should something go wrong. With these principles in mind, finding the right PC for your family won't be too daunting.

Wisconsin drivers know that with any car purchase, safety always comes first. When you buy a 2013 VW Eos, you can be sure that all your safety concerns will be met and even surpassed. The 2013 Eos comes with electronic stability control, which adjusts for unexpected swerving by applying corrective forces to your car's wheels, as well as intelligent crash response, which reacts to collisions by unlocking your doors, activating your hazard lights, and cutting off power to your car's fuel. Best of all, the front end of the 2013 VW Eos is crash-optimized for protection in the event of a collision. Designed to absorb impact and allow for compression, the 2013 Eos keeps you safe by diverting crash energy away from you and your passengers during an accident.

Any suggestions for whether and how to keep an old-line, heavy, white porcelain double sink, in great shape, that's one of those with a metal cover that slides across from one side to the other, and is particularly deep on the left side and less deep but still very adequate on the other, and is really heavy? It's resting on an older metal under-sink cabinet and I don't know if it's too heavy to rest on wooden cabinets or if we should keep the sink/metal cabinet unit and modernize around it - or just let the sink go. I am adding a kitchen back to a brownstone and want stainless steel appliances, probably cream or white cabinets and a modern decor that respects the traditional brownstone details and has a bit of a "country kitchen" aspect to it - in other words, eclectic, and on a budget. I love the old huge white sink but am not seeing how it will fit into this modern kitchen. One person suggested getting a higher end stainless steel faucet to modernize the sink. Any other suggestions? I'd love to hear from others who have figured out how to keep an antique and still end up with a nice design, or who have let the old sink go to make the design work better. Thoughts? |

Nice sink. You could easily build a wooden cabinet to fit it, and keep the freestanding look of it. If the cabinet is 3/4 plywood with appropriate framing around the top and in the corners, it can hold a lot more than that sink. |
You should get a new sink and give that one to me. Just let me know when you toss it and I'll come get it. |
- Posted by powermuffin (My Page) on Thu, Apr 4, 13 at 12:38
I think you could probably augment the structure of any sink cabinet that it would fit it just by beefing up the insides with plywood and 1x4s. Diane |
Nice sink. A new faucet would modernize it nicely. Then get a cabinet that fit's your design. |

My hair is naturally dark brown and would rather not use regular hair color and continue damaging my already thinning hair.
Can anyone recommend what color Henna to use? I don't want to go with black - just a little lighter. Also, anyone that has used henna color instead of regular color, have you noticed a difference in hair texture? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
There is no such thing as black henna. |
Then how come I saw it in a beauty supply store this morning? They have black, dark brown, light brown, etc. |
Products sold as "black henna" or "neutral henna" are not made from true henna, but may be derived from indigo or cassia, and may contain unlisted dyes and chemicals. You run the risk of contact dermatitis as what they are calling "henna" is probably PPD. I have posted on this before in this forum. Do a Google. Concentrations of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) found in the "black henna" paste studied at the NYU School of Medicine this past summer contained nearly ten times the amount allowed in hair dye. http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/files/health/henna/ http://www.hennatribe.com/ppd.php http://www.expat.or.id/medical/blackhennareactions.html http://www.expat.or.id/medical/blackhennareactions.html http://www.hennaforhair.com/ppd/ppdreaction/ Henna is a plant that can only produce an orange dye. If you saw "black henna" being sold they are trying to fool you. |
bud_wi I am so glad I read this post. Last time I had my hair done I had a horrible reaction to the hair color. Itchy for more than a week and it began when they first applied the color. I suspect PPD but my allergist is going to do a patch test on my back this coming Monday to see what exactly the irritation was from. So I've been contemplating henna and read online that it comes in more colors than just red. My hair is light brown (well, gray without color) and I have the gray roots and I'm dying about what am I going to do??!! Any suggestions out there? |

BENNINGTON A Farley Drive man was charged with a felony Monday after police said they believed he broke a wooden sign on Elm Street on Feb. 1 that cost nearly $2,400 to replace.
Matthew Bortell, 27, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 in damage.
In an affidavit, Officer Thalia Hudson, of the Bennington Police Department, said she was dispatched about 2:45 a.m. Feb. 1 to Elm Street. At the scene, Hudson spoke to a woman who said she had heard the sign for Edwards Investments being broken and saw two men leaving the area.
Hudson said Bortell was spotted on Main Street a short time later. While Bortell admitted to being on Elm Street earlier in the morning with another man, Hudson said he wouldnt give police a last name or address for the other man and denied breaking the sign.
Staff at Edwards Investment gave police an estimate of $2,390.46 to replace the sign.
Bortell has a previous conviction for unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 damage from November 2009.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

and a new view of the top of the plant, some of the leaves are as big as a quarter, and the vines are strong and there are lots of those little beads on the vines, hope these are better pics... someone said the top looked thin, what do you think..

Hey Emerald, That was me who said the top had seemed thin in the last pix (where I couldn't see the top well at all). I can see clearly that's not at all the case now, given the close up. Good for you. I'd say you're doing just fine & aren't in any danger of losing it. I'm pretty new at posting pix, but here's a shot of mine: |

Very nice plants Linda and PG!!Thanks for posting... I too would love to see an enlarged pic of your plant PG, looks very healthy.. |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Sun, Mar 1, 09 at 9:23
Well thanks folks, I'll confess, I DID adjust the pic's contrast a bit, it MAY have greened it up some. ;>) Sorry, I'm not sure how to make them 'clickable' to larger, am still learning photo sizing. Maybe during the snowstorm predicted in the next 24 hrs. I'll try again. Pls. know the leaf size isn't that big, the largest just under the size of a quarter; deceptive somehow. Emerald, mine does't bleach out much as it's not directly in the sun, but rather just on the edge of a west window. Also, did you know there's a gorgeous variegated version? Green & white w/ slightly pink highlights from strong sun; leaves can get very thickly succulent. Mine are struggling at the moment (tiny pots), they fell off the windowsill recently, if you don't turn me into the Plant Police I might post pix of them too! Thanks for the compliments! |

Karen, I've been noticing this new problem with photobucket thumbnails, too. Basically, if you're going to use the thumbnail code, you can't alter it in any way - for instance, removing the "center" command at beginning and end of the code. I've been quite frustrated by this, to the point where I typically only post full-size images now...despite the burden on those with slow internet connection. Josh |
Linda, look at your "string-of-hearts", it grows so long!!! Mine is still tiny, I just got it a few months. I hope one day mine will look as good as yours or Karen's. Thanks for posting. Xuan |

Hi pirate girl, thanks for reposting your pics, your plant is very heathy looking and so green and good luck on your trying to keep the other 2 going, I do the same thing, sometimes I get a nice plant and sometimes oops... I have never seen the varigated form of this plant or the last pic-one. I got mine at HD last summer..it was all knotted up and I sat for hours unknotting it, it was about a foot long..and now its about 6 feet long. I really like this plant. I had one years ago and it was huge in a 12 inch pot and about 8 feet long, and I took it outside and very gently washed it off, you know how plants like a good shower, well I guess that plant didn't it just died, and this is the first one I have found since..I just hope it last a long time...good luck again on your little plants, and posting your pics...linda |
