I DREAM OF JEANNIE: SEASON 5 - DVD review
The Sixties were full of choices, and not just making love vs. making war. There were serious TV issues, too, like Ginger vs. Mary Ann, or "Bewitched" vs. "I Dream of Jeannie." With those "Gilligan's Island" females it was all a matter of whether you preferred a glamour girl or the girl next door. But with the two "magic" sitcoms that went toe-to-toe, it was "Bewitched" by a nose. Make that a nose-twitch, compared to Jeannie's "blink."
The reason is simple: more people could identify with a married couple where one spouse just happens to be a witch in a marriage that was otherwise equal than they could with an astronaut who splashes down on a deserted island and finds a beautiful genie in a bottle who calls him "master" and attends to his every wish. It was unfortunately too close to male fantasy than it was to a household situation comedy, and at a time when a women's rights movement was gaining steam, it was bad timing indeed.
In fairness, though, this novelty show was still fun, and it's fun still. The premise was that Maj. Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman) didn't really bring the bottle back. A genie named Jeannie (Barbara Eden) hitched a ride back to Cape Kennedy and Cocoa Beach, Florida, and POOF, just like that a fairly successful series was born. As a warm-up for the popular secret agent spoof "Get Smart" on NBC's Saturday night line-up, "I Dream of Jeannie" cracked the Top-30 its first year, finishing at #27. But by the time the show finished, even a wedding wasn't enough to entice enough viewers to watch.
In a way, it's too bad the premise rubbed feminists the wrong way and that the episodes were so hit-and-miss in terms of the writing. If you watch now, you have to marvel at the comic genius of Hagman, who's perhaps best known for his role as J.R. Ewing, Jr. in that nighttime soaper, "Dallas." Hagman does reactionary comedy as well as anyone, and the chemistry that he and Eden shared remained strong throughout the five-year run.. In this show, Hagman managed a range of physical comedy and expressions that was every bit as good as the talented Dick Van Dyke, and he deserved at least a nomination for his efforts. In fact, comedic sideman Bill Daily, who would go on to play the spacey navigator on "The Bob Newhart Show," was also quite good as Captain Nelson's swinging bachelor buddy, Captain Roger Healey. So was Hayden Rorke as the base psychiatrist who kept trying to catch Nelson in what he knew was craziness . . . or was he crazy? And in fairness, Eden was also darned good. But writers milked Jeannie's jealousy over other women a bit too much, and brought in a few too many kookie relatives and folks from Baghdad for her to react to.
But you have to give the writers credit for one thing: they know how to tie up loose ends. After pining for Major Nelson all these years, this is the season that Jeannie gets to say "I do." After years of not catching Major Nelson "in the act" with his genie and suspecting all along that something wasn't quite right, Dr. Bellows (Rorke) finally gets some satisfaction. Naturally (and unfortunately), Jeannie's wicked twin sister has to put in a final appearance in a tired routine that reminded everyone too much of Samantha's evil cousin Serena, but the compensation for this final season is a parade of interesting guest stars: Jim Backus (speaking of "Gilligan's Island"), Jackie Coogan ("The Addams Family"), Farrah Fawcett ("Charlie's Angels"), and Dick Van Patten ("Eight is Enough").
Here's a rundown on the 26 episodes, which are contained on four single-sided discs and housed in two slim plastic keep cases, with a cardboard slipcase:
1) "Jeannie at the Piano." Returning to old form (and formula), the writers have Jeannie blink a little magic into the base piano to enable Maj. Nelson to play more than "Chopsticks" for his superiors. But they all think he's a musical genius, and they arrange for him to play a concert tour. Naturally, that little red piano comes into play.
2) "Djinn, Djinn, the Pied Piper." I don't know who liked these episodes with Jeannie's dog, but I can only think of one funny one, and it was when the dog acted like a piranha and tore apart a uniform. But in this episode, when Gen. Schaeffer (Vinton Hayworth) invites Tony to bring the dog to the part to help him exercise his own dog, Jupiter, Djinn Djinn turns invisible again. Kind of dumb the second, third, or fourth time around.
3-4) "Guess Who's Going to Be a Bride?" Parts 1-2. Shades of earlier episodes again, Jeannie's Uncle Suleiman (Coogan) visits, expecting Jeannie to take over his kingdom after he abdicates. Naturally, Tony misses her, after she leaves, and he proposes.
5) "Jeannie's Beauty Cream." Trouble ensues when Jeannie creates a face cream that turns Mrs. Bellows (Emmaline Henry) into a woman so young and beautiful that not even her husband recognizes her.
6) "Jeannie and the Bachelor Party." Tony doesn't want a party, but that doesn't stop Roger and Dr. Bellows from throwing him one. Reminds you of a "Laugh-In" sketch.
7) "The Blood of a Jeannie." The marriage hits a snag when Jeannie tells Tony she has green corpuscles instead of red, and Tony suggests she get a substitute to help her pass Dr. Bellows' blood test.
8) "I'll See You in C.U.B.A." Jeannie blinks Tony down from an experimental aircraft, but accidentally blinks both him and the aircraft to Havana. Not the strongest episode.
9) "Jeannie & the Mad Home Wrecker." Mrs. Bellows and her husband give Jeannie and Tony the ugliest piece of modern art as an early present, and it goes from bad to worse when the NASA staff chips in to have the same artist re-do Tony's house . . . MOD.
10) "Uncles A-Go-Go." One of Jeannie's uncles must approve of Tony, or else there will be no wedding. But Tony is finding it impossible to make both men happy at once.
11) "The Wedding." Another snag. Genies are invisible in photos. How can you explain that to a wedding photographer--especially when every photographer in town has been given permission to capture the wedding on film?
12) "My Sister, the Home Wrecker." Jeannie's twin tries to break them up by making one final play for Tony, pretending to be Jeannie and convincing Roger and Dr. and Mrs. Bellows that she's having an affair. Michael Ansara, who played one of the Baghdad crowd earlier in the series, turns up again as Major Biff Jelico.
13) "Jeannie, the Matchmaker." Jeannie tries to help Roger find a date through a computer dating agency; meanwhile, Tony is arranging a date for Roger with the General's niece on the same night.
14) "Never Put a Genie on a Budget." After Jeannie goes on a spending spree, Tony tries to teach her frugality . . . which backfires when they're to entertain a visiting Russian cosmonaut.
15) "Please Don't Give My Jeannie No More Wine." Jeannie blinks up a bottle of wine at the Bellows' home, but it unfortunately doesn't get them drunk . . . it makes them invisible. Some funny moments.
16) "One of Our Hotels is Growing." Told there's no room at the Inn, Jeannie blinks a 13th floor for her, Tony, Roger and the Bellows'. One of the season's best episodes.
17) "The Solid Gold Jeannie." Jeannie blinks herself into Tony's decontamination chamber after one of his flights, unknowing that she has to remain hidden there for 21 days with Tony, Roger, and another astronaut.
18) "Mrs. Djinn Djinn." Roger spreads a rumor that Jeannie is expecting, when it's really Mrs. Djinn Djinn who's going to give birth. Another one for the dogs.
19) "Jeannie and the Curious Kid." When the Bellows' troublemaking nephew stays at the Nelson house for a few days, he discovers Jeannie's secret. As Samantha would say, "Well . . ."
20) "Jeannie, the Recording Secretary." Jeannie joins an officers' wives' club and can't fight the temptation to use her magic to try to win a trip for two to Hawaii.
21) "Help, Help, a Shark!" When Tony causes Gen. Schaeffer to lose a big game of billiards, the only thing that can save him is Jeannie's blinking magic.
22) "Eternally Yours, Jeannie." When an old high school flame writes Tony that she'll be visiting, Jeannie has another of her fits of jealousy.
23) "An Astronaut in Sheep's Clothing." On their six-month wedding anniversary, Jeannie and Tony experience a version of "A Gift of the Magi," wanting to give gifts but not having it work out.
24) "Hurricane Jeannie." Holed up in the Nelson home because of foul weather, Dr. Bellows finally witnesses an act of genie magic.
25) "One Jeannie Beats Four of a Kind." A card shark has been robbing NASA officers, and with Jeannie's help, Tony tries to teach him a lesson.
26) "My Master, the Chili King." So how does a series wrap up after five long seasons? By having Maj. Nelson endorse a can of chili without NASA's permission, and getting in such doo-doo that not even Jeannie can help him, it would seem.
As with the second through fourth seasons (the first was black-and-white) there's some graininess, but the video quality is surprisingly good. The colors are sharp and well-delineated, with no bleed, and there are moments when the grain seems to disappear (as with the blink of an eye!). "I Dream of Jeannie" is presented in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio.
The audio is Dolby Digital Mono, with the sound concentrated in the center speaker. Sometimes Mono can sound perfectly natural, while other times it feels as if the sound is coming from inside a jar . . . or in this case, a bottle. The music and opening credits are especially loud, but when the first scene of each episode begins, it's like a whisper. A little better mixing would keep us all from having to keep pressing the volume control.
There are no extras.
Bottom Line:
"I Dream of Jeannie" is a shot of pure Sixties' nostalgia. It will never make anyone's list of Top-TV Shows, but it will remain a part of TV history as a good example of novelty programming in the psychedelic era. Hagman and Eden really did click together, and Daily honed his comic chops for bigger and better things.

JACKSONVILLE, Ore. — Triple digit temperatures didn't scare away visitors or vendors from Jacksonville's Farmers Market on Sunday.
Applegate Valley farmer Tyson Fehrman moved from Wisconsin earlier this year and opened By George Farm. He sees farmer's markets as a great platform for getting his farm's name out there.
"Exposure, getting our name out there. Letting people know where we are, that we are local and growing organic," Ferhman said. This weekend wrapped up National Farmer's Market Week. Statistics show that nationwide there are more than double the amount of recorded farmer's markets this year than there were in 2000.
"Even in the down economy farmer's markets are growing across the nation." Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market Business Manager Lori Hopkinson said farmer's markets supply a boost to local economies.
"People are realizing that their local food dollars stretch further so not only can they buy fresh food but when they buy it local, that recirculates into the community," Hopkinson said.
Fehrman agreed and said farmer's markets are a great way for farms to maximize profit. "Absolutely, it's the best way for farmers to make money. It's the most direct way for us to get our product to the consumer. We get most of the food dollar versus taking it to a grocery store and getting it wholesale price."
Fehrman said they will be at the Jacksonville Farmer's Market through October and a lot can be learned at a farmer's market. "Community! Knowing your neighbors, knowing your grower, knowing where it came from what was used to grow it," he said.

The Shoes That Won Last Night: Danny Ings Scores Twice in the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX, Michael Wacha Allows Just One Hit
Last night, the third round of the 2013 Capital One Cup kicked off and MLB action delivered a near-no hitter.
In Burnley's 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest, Burnley came back to win from a 1-0 deficit thanks to two goals from striker Danny Ings, who zipped by defenders in the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX. Burnley will continue their march into the fourth round in late October.
On the baseball diamond, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher had everyone on the edge of their seats as he went 8.2 innings and only allowed a single hit. Wacha wore the Nike Air Max Gamer as the Cards picked up a 2-0 shutout win over the Washington Nationals. Jason Vargas of the Los Angeles Angels was also impressive, pitching for 9 innings and allowing just 4 hits as the Angles defeated Oakland 3-0.
Find out the rest of the night's top performers and the shoes they wore on the next page.

anyone having luck with heritage or calif raspberry plants..mine dont seem to be producing much.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
I planted BABA berries in Santa Clarita and they haven't done much either. My Boysenberries went nuts. Lots of freezer jam. Todd |
I've been growing Baba Raspberries for a few years now and I've never really had much of a harvest. I had big berries, but just a few here and there, like 3 or 4 berries at a time. Can't do much with those, but eat them in cereal. And to freeze them it wasn't worth it because I still wouldn't have enough berries to do anything with them, except for adding them to a glass of lemonade. Now, in late 2005, I decided to plant some Baba's in a whisky barrel to see how they'd fair. And guess what? They did pretty darn good! I picked a nice amount. I'd eat some and freeze some. Now this year, they are doing really well, I have been picking berries every other day. Now I'm freezing most of them. Now and then I'll slip a few in my Cereal. Even my Heritage Raspberries are doing well now that I have them in a pot. I've been picking many of these as well! I'm glad I decided to go with the whisky barrel, otherwise I would have totally given up on growing Babas. Tania ~_~ |
Last summer I put Black Raspberry "Jewel" into one of my stock tanks that I use for my vegetables garden. I can control the soil and the amount of water they get.... and the critters that like to eat them. This June we've been blessed with loads of wonderful black raspberries; and now giant , new stalks are growing for next year's fruit. |
Tania, Can you share more about your planting in the whiskey barrel? What kind of soil, how do you fertilize, sun or shade? I got some from a friend last month and they are still sitting in a one gallon pot. I have been trying to figure out where to put them, as I don't have any empty spots of soil left. But I like your idea about the whiskey barrel. Karin |
Sure karin! The whisky barrel I have for my Babas is the reg old fashioned wood kind, which is slightly bigger than the faux ones they sell now, which also work well. I have black rasps in those. I filled my WB with SuperSoil Potting Soil (it's the only potting soil I like), and I planted one in the center and 5 around. Each one was also in a 1gal pot, with about 2-3 canes each. I know that seems cramped, but i haven't had any problems to this point. I have them staked up with skinny bamboo stakes (just finished staking up the new canes the other day). About 1-4 plants per stake, depending how far apart the canes are. I tip prune them at 6 ft. (from ground level where my feet stand, not the soil level in the WB). I usually let them grow just passed 6ft before prunning so the canes are nice and thick from the soil level to where I'll make my cut. As far as fertilizer goes... I feed them (when I feed them, which is not too often) either Dr. Earth 9 Fruit Tree Fertilizer, or EB Stone Citrus Fertilizer. Both are great for berries. I'm what you call a "Lazy Gardener", and during the first 4 1/2 months of the year I'm extremely busy with work, so I don't get around to feeding the plants until May, I do try to feed them again in 8 weeks, then again in another 8 weeks. But most of the time I've only given them one or two feedings. This year I have yet to feed them and were in June! As a matter of fact, tomorrow, I'll be fertilizing, and adding more soil to the WB (with time it settles). Another fertilizer I like to add is Vermicompost which is just great! If you don't have any worms at home making it for you, you can purchase it at Armstrong. That's where I've seen bags of it. It's pretty pricy. It's awesome fertilizer. Plus after feeding it to the plants it seeps into the sap of the canes in about 6 weeks and makes the sap taste unpleasant to those scaley critters that love attaching themselves to the canes to suck out the sap. To get rid of any that I find, I take an old toothbrush, dip it in warm water with a drop of dish soap, picking up the bubbles, then I brush the scales off of the canes. It's a little tedious but it works great! Oh yeah, Just last year I went to my local 99 and found some Diatomeceous Earth Cat Litter. It's all organich 100% DE. I was reading the package, and it said it could be added to plant soil to increase moister for the plants. So I've been adding it to every bed and pot possible! I didn't see it anymore at the 99 recently but I did find it at another $ store. So I'll be adding that as well to the WB. I also like to mulch around the canes with shredded bark. My WB is located on the South side of our office, and to the right there is a gate covered with Star Jasmin. So in the morning it's in the shade. Once the sun begins to peep over the gate, when it's almost overhead, that's when the plants begin to get full sun, until the sun goes away. That's pretty much it! I hope this helps! Let me know if you have anymore questions. Tania ~_~ |
Thank you Tania. I'll have to hunt around for another whiskey barrel. Can't wait til they take off. I love raspberries. Karin :) |
You're very welcome Karin! Let me know how it goes! Post here or send me an e-mail. Take pics after you plant, then snap a few down the road when the plants get bigger. Tania ~_~ |

Milne agreed that fruit will be sold in 2- and 3- pound bags, boxes and some loose. He said that, unlike Chilean clementines, which are largely shifting away from boxes, the 5-pound box of w. murcotts still sells well.
"They are very, very appealing cosmetically and in appearance. They could be more of a premium item," he said.
Fernando Cilloniz, general manager of data analyst Inform@ccion, said promotion from growers and exporters has been primarily in the way of attendance at fairs, and exporters and suppliers have yet to embrace promotional campaigns in the way that Chile does.
Benavides countered that the Huamani Group was in fact participating in promotions with major retail chains.
"We are extending our distributor network in parts of the U.S. where our citrus is not present," he added.

Can I gound one outlet (in an old home that has no ground system) by running a wire from that outlets' ground to the recently installed outside AC units' ground in it's electrical box, which is just a few feet outside the window next to the outlet? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by spencer_electrician (My Page) on Sun, Jan 2, 11 at 20:39
Absolutely no (: You will have to run a new cable, (hot, neutral, and ground) from the receptacle back to the electric panel. |
- Posted by petey_racer (My Page) on Sun, Jan 2, 11 at 21:49
"You will have to run a new cable, (hot, neutral, and ground) from the receptacle back to the electric panel." While not completely accurate, this is the best method. The ONLY alternative to running a new circuit is as follows: |
Can't accurately picture the OP's setup w.r.t. to how a 120V INterior receptacle has access to an EXterior 240V HVAC service =:O , but... ... does Code still allow that UNgrounded recep to simply be replaced with a GFCI recep, thereby addressing the safety issue, without adding a 3rd conductor? |
Two more layman questions: 1) Is it allowable to run a new cable from another grounded outlet. In addition to 2-wire circuits, we also have some grounded circuits for window AC's and wonder if we could tap off them for one or two nearby outlets. 2) If a two-wire outlet is supplied by BX cable, and the metal outlet box and cable are actually determined to be grounded, can a 3-prong outlet be grounded to the metal box? Thanks. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Mon, Jan 3, 11 at 8:27
NO to both question. Petey gave the right answer. Short of running a new cable for the entire circuit, you can run a ground to one of the points in the part he posted. NONE OF THOSE rare the grounding conductor of some "other" circuit. It matters not if that circuit is fed by a real grounding conductor (which by the way "BX" is NOT). You can't bootleg the ground off another circuit. |
BX was an actual type of cable a long time ago, but most of what folks describe as 'BX' is MC (Metal Clad) or AC (Armored Cable). MC normally has a run ground wire and AC has a bonding strip that allows the armor to act as a ground conductor (BX has no bonding strip and is NOT a suitable ground). |
Thanks for the clarification. |
A lot of home things only even have a 2-wire cord, so not having the safety ground is not a big deal. Electronics (TVs, computers. etc.) that have any type of surge protection DO need a grounded circuit to help with the protection. In many older houses you can simply run a few new branch circuits and locate receptacles as desired for more sensitive electrical equipment. A GFCI will protect people without a ground (better than having a ground in most cases) and that is why it is an allowed replacement for a 2-prong receptacle. The only time a GFCI would NOT provide protection is if you are between the hot and neutral after the GFCI device AND no current leaks onto ANY other path. Possible but not very likely. |

Are Nissan's new electric car and Ford's figures on how the "cash-for-clunkers" scheme has affected its US sales signs of the changing car market?
Nissan showed off its new mass-market electric car, the Leaf, in Yokohama with much fanfare (that picture on the left has Carlos Ghosn, the head of the Renault-Nissan alliance, in the drivers' seat and former Japanese prime minister Junichiro Koizumi beside him).
But capturing the audience it seeks is mainly about price, which the company has firmly in its sights:
Nissan has not set a price for the Leaf but said on Sunday its cost would be "competitive" with "well-equipped" petrol-powered cars in the same class. The price will not include the battery, however, which drivers will lease separately from the carmaker.
For pure electric cars, batteries are a major cost – Ghosn stressed that the Leaf will cost the same to buy and run as an equivalent petrol-fuelled car, but the company is planning to achieve this in part by leasing out the $10,000 batteries.
But he insists electric cars will be a mass-market proposition: "We don't see the electric car as a niche car. We see it as a mass-market car."
Meanwhile an announcement from Ford on Sunday about how drivers had responded to the US "cash-for-clunker" incentives shows the preference for smaller cars is continuing to grow:
Ford Motor, which has emerged as one of the scheme's chief beneficiaries, said on Sunday that its small Focus saloon was the top car purchased, based on claims submitted so far to the US transportation department.
By contrast, Ford's Explorer, for many years North America's top-selling SUV, was the most traded-in vehicle. Ford officials also said that, based on government data, eight of the top 10 vehicles bought under the scheme are in two of the smallest categories.
This is despite fears from some lawmakers that the scheme was not structured as to encourage drivers to shift towards more fuel-efficient cars and could result in more sales of gas-guzzlers. Even earlier this year, there were complaints that US drivers don't want small cars even with the recent memory of gasoline prices as high as $4/gallon. So does Ford's suggestion that smaller cars are becoming more popular, after all? A similar phenomenon has been recently observed with scrappage schemes in Europe – to the chagrin of luxury carmakers there.
Still, car-buying habits are difficult to predict. Ghosn has long been sceptical on hybrid-electric vehicles but Reuters notes the group signalled a possible turnround on this issue:
For years, Ghosn has downplayed the importance of hybrid cars — both for consumers hoping to save money at the pump and for manufacturers looking to make profit. As recently as a month ago, he sought to knock down the hybrid hype, saying electric cars were a far better alternative despite their limited cruising range.
But in what could signal a major shift in strategy, Ghosn said Nissan would leave the option open to offering hybrid vehicles if the market demands it. So far, Nissan has only announced plans to launch an internally developed hybrid vehicle on high-end models.
"It's going to take some time before we have a complete, full (electric vehicle) product line-up from entry level to the top," he said.
"In the meantime, you just cannot abandon the market — you're going to have to continue to develop your product line-up with combustion engine, clean diesel, hybrids, etc."

Tag: school
As a special treat, I went downstairs to pick her up after bus drop off (shes normally a big girl but yesterday was a well deserved special treat) and the first thing I noticed was that she had grown taller (I mean is that really possible? only 2 nights?) Now I know why Grandma and Granddad mention this every time they see Kit Kat (and they get to see them every few months) and I look at the girls up and down wondering if theyve really gained height? Apart from that, Kat looked so tired BUT happy. Her pink bag looked dirty pink now (Im a mum cant help noticing these things at first glance, can I?) and everything that she could not fit inside was now outside in smaller bags like extra sneakers, medicines and so we both struggled upstairs with a bag filled with *sigh* dirty clothes, sleeping bag, backpack, three smaller bags (which were originally inside the pink bag) plus a bottle of Kat made Apple cider AND non stop chatter!
Kit had (yet another) beaded necklace as a welcome gift ready for Kat and after a few hugs and kisses later, the novelty of having Kat home was over for Kit. She could not understand what the fuss was about and was back to her books and dolls. Drama over!
Kat had an amazing time it seems they made their own lunch, campfires. They also had make your own pizza dinner one night. Kat was in charge of cleaning dishes for the group one mealtime so she was eager to show me her skills last night very good, very impressed! Her apple cider was delicious... One thing Kat cannot stop talking about are the smores they used to make them every night and she goes on and on about the roasted marshmallows and melted chocolate followed by the astronomy lessons (a moonlight walk) and then lying on mats to look up at stars and talk about constellations how cool is that?
Back to school today and then tennis after school back to the grind fun filled camp fire nights with flash light led walks back to the lodge are over - Kat wants smore...
It was a bit of a setback when Kit realised that her Maths sheets in Kumon involved counting big red dots instead of numbers (like Kat) when she got them for the first time a few months ago however, the situation has now changed she wishes those dots would come back once more! Yes, Kumon is wonderful for children at this early age and it has been a tried and tested formula in our home for Kat (she needs the repetition) but Kit is finding the new sums a bit of a challenge at the moment.
Every time I sit down with her, she will start looking outside the window instead of looking at the sheets. Exasperated, I will ask, Kit, why are you so interested in looking at the world? To this question, Kit will (painfully slowly), unglue her eyes from the window and look at me and say, Because, I dont know much about the world, thats why mummy. I want to know more about it, thats why I look at it.
Me: When you go to school, will you look outside the window even then?
Kit: No, I will go to school to play. Then I dont want to see the world.
Basically, this interaction means that the current set of Kumon operations are little bit challenging and Kit is finding ways to avoid them. Any kind of work that takes time at this age usually means either too boring or over head transmission. In her case, it is bit of both as when I really get upset, all answers come pouring out of the brain like magic and work gets done unbelievably quickly! Just like that.
Right now, its a wait and watch game where she sees the world from our apartment window and I watch her till shes done with it this transition from dots to numbers to sums IS a challenge. Kat did it and so will Kit. All in good time I tell myself. All in good time...
Right till this morning, every time I mentioned the word packing, Kat ducked away somewhere in the fear that I would make her go through the list and the items yet once again!
Kat has apologized to me already - seeing my near crazy behaviour perhaps, she has assured me that from last time's experience she is sorry but she is positive that she will not miss me this time. She has not asked me to write any notes for her this time but she took the necklace that Kit made for her in her new school (in fact, she wore it as a bracelet as it was made from wire and hurt her a bit...)
Kat's school trip coincided with Kit's first bus journey to school so it was an exciting day for both of them and too much adrenaline for me. Kat has texted me twice not to tell me that she misses me (*sob*) but to let me know that some mini highlighters are on half price sale in the local bookstore and that it might be a good idea to buy them for her! Cheeky...
Kit is excited about her unrestricted and unlimited access to Kat's room although Kat has given her some very clear instructions. To be fair, Kat did however, give her favourite teddy bear to Kit this morning on loan for 3 days to which Kit immediately responded Can I have it forever pleeeeese? Kat smartly ignored her and moved on.
While Kat is away, I will try and not jump at every phone that rings in these next 3 days and will try and sleep at night too. It will be Wednesday soon and our house will be filled with the familiar oohs and aahs of the brilliant time spent with friends. Of course, the first thing Kat will ask for after hugging us all is her favourite marble cake... then she will check the damage to her room and then well be back to where we started!
I know this feeling too well. My heart sank. Kat is very strong she is my big girl in school she never cries so it must really hurt. The nurse had only called me 30 minutes ago asking me if it was okay to give her some pain reliever and I thought it was just a regular headache (sometimes when they are tired they go up to the nurse) and she agreed. Then Kat went up to her locker room and called me and cried. Her school is around 30 minutes away by car so even if I/Papa wanted to bring her back, it was simpler for her to get back in the school bus (as it was home time anyway).
Once on the school bus, I called her again but she just quickly spoke to me and said she wanted to rest as she could not bear the pain. I tried to get as much information as I could in those few bits of conversation so as to confirm it was the dreaded migraine. The symptoms were so damn similar to how I feel the aura of a migraine, the whole nausea, the pounding on the head...Anyhow, I cancelled my physiotherapy for the knee and waited for Kat to come home (last minute cancellations never go down well I could write a complete blog on that lady who took my call and said I will waive the late cancellation fee this time as I have other fish to fry can you believe that?) I even sent Kit to the playroom so there could be some quiet for Kat when she got home.
When Kat was dropped off, I got a call from her bus matron saying that I should pick her up from the lobby as she was crying I rushed and as is always the case, it took me ages to get to the lobby from the 41st floor. Once there, Kat was waiting for me, crying apparently she had puked on the bus and she was crying because she was embarrassed about it no 5th grader pukes on the bus! She was worried about having made a mess on the bus and what everybody must have thought. I hugged and comforted her. Her new backpack was all messed up and she was shaken up so we both went upstairs. After a shower, more medication and some sleep, she felt much better but pain still there so typical. For me, it was an evening spent cleaning all the messy bits when Kat slept and thanks to a magical cleaner, her backpack is good as new and great smelling again! Her bus matron called a bit later to check on her shes a real star. Kat got an email from another friend so she did feel a bit wanted in the community in the end.
I will speak to her neurologist today and see what she says. School is off today so that is great news. Kat can rest and she also has a play date later today. Well see how she feels. Kat says she NEVER wants to go through this pain again. When Kat was little and she would hurt her finger with a paper cut or something I would close my eyes and say: God, take away all of Kats pain and give it to Mummy and she would feel happy. I wish with all my heart this could work today...
This is also Kits first year (full time) at school so its an exciting year ahead for her and me...shes excited about her new pencil case, her new friends, teachers...she feels she is one step closer to being Kat now... She chose her backpack online (along with Kat) yesterday. In fact, a task that both Kat and I thought would take just a couple of seconds took about half an hour! Kit could simply not decide she has become so computer savvy, she moved the mouse with such ease to scroll up and down the screen that it took her ages to decide while Kat and I wondered where all this power had come from! Kat and I had preselected one backpack for her but Kit is so strong-headed, she selected the one that SHE wanted and in the end that is what I bought for her. Of course this upset Kat because she wanted Kit to have that one but Kit wanted this one (Im just plain happy that Kit agreed not to have the rolling backpack and agreed on the preschool size Imagine!!)
After much bickering, the girls are (finally) now looking forward to their personalised backpacks and I am wondering, maybe it is a great thing that they are going back to school and a week into school I will probably wonder how was I ever surviving with them both with me 24/7?

Unveiling the secrets of Petra
If the stretch from the Treasury to Qasr al-Bint is Petra's high street, these outlying hills are the city's suburbs. Though the weather-worn rockface is still peppered with ancient dwellings and sepulchres, many are more modest. Some grander efforts lie unfinished – vestiges of an urban sprawl that came to an abrupt halt – and with these edifices it is possible to see the Nabataean technique of carving from top to bottom. Ascending further into the hills, we come across what must be one of the last tombs still used as a Bedouin family home. Small but ornate, its dark entranceway has been filled with a solid door, and there's a garden of plants and fruit trees. With the sun directly above us in the sky, we reach Haroun's Terrace. From here, a small white mosque is visible. This is Jebel Haroun, thought to be biblical Mount Hor, where Moses' brother Aaron (Haroun to Muslims) is buried – a sacred place for both Christians and Muslims. Burckhardt, arriving here at sunset, realised it was too late to reach the tomb and sacrificed his goat on the spot with a few hasty incantations. The sounds here today are gentler – the wind whistling across the desolate plain, and the clanking bells of a whole herd of goats, which I follow to a sheltered Bedouin camp.
A woman wearing a headscarf and long dress emerges from a rectangular tent covered in black cloth made from goat's hair. She invites us in for coffee. Her home is cool in the midday heat, and she shows us into a room covered with woven carpets. On the wall hang posters of sites of Muslim pilgrimage – Mecca, and Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem – and strings of brightly-coloured tassels. We sit cross-legged on the floor as coffee beans roast in a pan over an open fire. Gasamah has eight children and the three youngest congregate on her lap to stare at the visitors. Two-yearold twins Mohamed and Amal occasionally stray to help themselves to cups of tea from a kettle that sits in the corner of the room. Gasamah's home-life is typical of local families', most of whom – like her – belong to the Bdoul tribe. Her husband has a donkey and a small souvenir stall in Petra, so she stays at home to look after the children, the 20 goats and a small garden sown with bamboo, apricots and grapes.
Though she clearly has little, Gasamah is happy to share with her guests. Hospitality is an important part of Bedouin culture, something Burckhardt relied upon heavily during his travels in the Middle East. An old Bedouin saying, 'When a guest comes he's a prince; when he leaves he's a poet,' shows not only the importance of a proper welcome, but the value placed on reputation – essential for survival in the desert. Though Gasamah admits that life here can be hard, she wouldn't want to be anywhere else. 'All our life is in this place,' she says. 'Here we are free.'

Disney's "NEW" discount philosophy
I was reading through my 2013 copy of the Unofficial Guide to WDW for the thousandth time and came across something that I hadn't thought of but makes sense, especially for all of us waiting for 2013 general public discounts after March. I'm not sure if I can legally quote directly from the book so I'll paraphrase.
Since the economy is no longer in the tank (relatively speaking) Disney has cut back on their discounts, even if less people go. They want to increase revenue through higher prices, rather than higher attendance. There has been no real change in attendance over the past several years, but their revenue has increased due to higher prices. Personally, I have a reservation at rack rate for POR next June and a few ADR's. A discount would enable us to lengthen our stay, and eat on property more often. Without discounts it just means a longer period of time between visits. I'd prefer discounts, but I also realize they're a business with shareholders to answer to. On the other hand I wonder what Walt would think if he were still with us. |
Disney will price rooms and admissions as high as possible while still filling the place. As the economy recovers they will reduce incentives. I suspect they will still entice people to come at off season times when they have excess capacity.
I have been visiting long enough that I can remember when there weren't many discounts at all. You could maybe get a discount in January or September, if you were a Florida resident, but there weren't wide spread AP discounts, and GP discounts were almost unheard of. So if they do decide to wean people off of discounts, they would simply be going back to a marketing strategy that worked well for them for many years.
I'm not saying I would be happy about it, but it's how the hospitality industry works. |
If this is true...it would be totally fine with me.
I would love to spend my $$$$ seeing other parts of the country/world! |
Interesting...we also like cruising and have found the same thing in general with cruise pricing..less really good discounts and the better discounts are much closer to departure date...I just booked our Disney trip at Pop at rack rate for June...if a discount is announced we may upgrade but are going regardless..
I understand that Disney is a business first and that there may have been a time when it was rare to get a general public discount; but I wonder if back in those days when discounts were few and far between that people got more bang for their buck with staying onsite (e.g., the dining plan included appetizers and gratuities, the cost to stay in one value resort room didn't cost more than renting a nice house with a pool offsite, etc.). I don't feel that Disney is obligated to offer my family anything but the wonderful customer service and top notch entertainment/attractions that they are known for; but honestly it isn't financially practical for our family to stay onsite without a good discount. Disney has steadily increased the resort rates, changed the pricing structure of various room types, modified EMH hours, and changed what is included in the dining plan while raising the price of that over the years as well. I remember going to WDW as a kid the same year Hollywood Studios (MGM at the time) opened and we (like several other families I knew) happily stayed offsite, only spent a couple days at the Disney parks, and visited other Orlando parks like Sea World and Universal. I think I may revisit this way of doing Disney and my family probably won't do an exclusively Disney vacation for awhile (staying 100% onsite and only doing all the Disney parks). We love Disney and will still visit, but Disney will be a part of our vacation rather than be our entire vacation.
Hopefully disney will one day look at the other side. |
I just started coming across discounts the past couple of years. I was one of those people who didn't navigate WDW.com very well or know about DIS. Sad to say, I paid more for Disney vacations 8 years ago when the rack rates were less and my children were still classifed as Disney children. On the bright side, we had awesome trips and great memories. It has been exciting and somewhat addicting to get a discount or a PIN. Love to save money whether we can afford to go or not. Bottom line is WDW is the #1 vacation choice of our children. Have tried other vacations and given many other options to them. But, they are very attached to WDW. Will pay for the priceless memories (with or without a discount).:goodvibes
I am also one of the old timers from when discounts were rare but the quality was SO much better!! And the prices were not ridiculous.
We went for the first time last spring break without a discount. Stayed in a Royal room at POR. It was a ghost-town relatively. Our building was maybe 50% occupied. I did try to get a room at Bonnet Creek but they were booked solid 3 months in advanced. The day before we left I could get a room anywhere on property. We were AP holders for years but not anymore. I just can't justify it when there are so many other places to travel. Hope their strategic plan works for them. It did for my budget. |
I'm one who used to stay offsite in a 4 BR house with private screened in pool. We would visit 3 days, and not get park hoppers. The total we would spend for the 7 days of the house, the rental car and the park tickets for our family of 5 would be about $3,300.00. Today, at rack rate, we can get 7 nights at POR using the murphy bed, 3 day park hopper, and use ME and only pay $3,150 for mid August. I have booked out 2013 package at RR, and if a GP discount comes I will apply it. We will bring some bagels that we will toast ourselves for breakfast, and with any extra saved money, I will put it on a Disney Gift Card and use that for QS or TS dining. Since the ME started, it has probably saved most families $300 to $500 per week, which is a discount before the room discounts. Not getting room discounts will definately not stop us from going. :)
instead of giving discounts just stop raising prices on everything....its not really a discount if you have to pay more in the first place is it???
Barb |
If Disney needs discounts to fill the rooms, they'll offer them. If they don't need them, they won't offer them. That's one reason why I don't book until a discount is released that works with my budget. If you book ahead of time knowing that you will cancel if a discount isn't offered, you're contributing to the occupancy level that prevents the discount. I think it's always best to book what you can afford in the first place. |

Minotaur (The God Complex)
The Minotaur | ||
Main aliases: | The Creature | |
Species: | Minotaur (species) | |
Appearances: | TV: The God Complex, TV: The Wedding of River Song | |
Main actor: | Spencer Wilding |
Minotaur was a member of a species known as Minotaurs, who had set itself up as a deity. When its subjects overthrew it, they sealed it aboard a prison ship which pulled in people for it to feed on. As the aeons went by, the creature lost its desire to live. It was still unable to die because the ship was programmed to provide it with a constant food supply, and its instincts were too strong to starve itself. The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams encountered this creature, along with several other life forms collected for its next meal. Initially believing the creature fed on the fear of its victims, the Doctor cautioned everyone to avoid the rooms holding their fears and to fight against those fears by holding fast to their beliefs. Only Rory and the Doctor remained unaffected by the creature: Rory because he did not strongly believe in anything, and the Doctor due to his strong will. When Amy let go of her faith in the Doctor, the food supply was cut off and the Minotaur died. (TV: The God Complex)

Hi everyone, We live in Ontario, Canada and want to buy/or have built a beautiful island hood in a powder coated colour with stainless decorative bands something like the image below (but with different base colour with no expensive copper). BTW our ceilings are only 8 feet and we only need to vent a 30 inch induction cooktop. I know fan inserts can be bought and then fan shells can be built with wood cabinetry. Has anyone tried hiring an artistic metal worker to build the vent shell? If so, how did it turn out? Was the price reasonable? We need to find a way to build that fan but keep the cost down to 3500 max for the complete fan (insert and outer hood). Lastly, if I do get a powdered coated fan with stainless trim like I am hoping to get, what colour should I use for the main part of the fan? My perimeter cabinets are to be ivory and the island will be chocolate brown. I have not chosen the counter, but was hoping to find something that was more grey but was not brown. I don't know about wall colour yet. Any suggestions on colour for the vent (or even wall colour)? Thanks in advance for any thoughts and help you might be able to provide. Carol |
Follow-Up Postings:
We need to find a way to build that fan but keep the cost down to 3500 max for the complete fan A competent local artisan will charge at least as much as the established rangehood companies not less. A local artisan does not have the overhead of Modern Aire or Rangecraft but also does not have the economies of scale. "Local Artisans" don't sell on price but on quality, design, and customer service. Highly skilled people don't sell their labor cheap. Apprentices or people just starting out sell their labor at a discount to get experience and develop a customer base to give referrals. I purchased a $4500 Independent Range Hood after that company went bankrupt off of ebay from a liquidator for $970 including shipping. I compromised on a slightly different style. Looking on ebay, craigslist, local scratch'n dent, appliance liquidators is the only way to really save money without sacrificing quality. |

That's a 10k "artisan" hood. I DID warn you that island venting would be MUCH more expensive and difficult than perimeter venting. You aren't going to find something effective and attractive for your budget unless you DIY everything. |
- Posted by OntarioMom (My Page) on Fri, Aug 23, 13 at 8:17
deeageaux, Thanks for your tips and ideas and input on the artisan route. I will search to see what I can find on Kijiji etc. Good for you that you found a clearance item that suited you. Hollysprings, I appreciate your input. I know I was warned by you and others that island venting would be way more expensive. The expensive price does not change for a moment my decision to have the cooktop on an island. I can certainly get a decent stainless hood for my budget, especially considering the cooktop is electric and 30 inch so not requiring as many CFMs. However getting a hood as attractive as I posted may not be possible. Everyone, Has anyone tried to powder paint a stainless hood themselves to a different colour? Does anyone have an ideas on what colour hood would look good? Carol |
I know absolutely nothing about vent fans for island (that is my disclaimer). What I do have for input is that we have an old coal stove we needed to exhaust out, which needed to take a very weird turn, but also was a prominent fixture in our main living space, so we wanted A really nice "pipe". Hubby also didn't want it in aluminum like most stove pipes and because of the space it was more like a fancy box with pipes coming out of it. Anyway, we first went to the stove pipe companies and tried to get something that would work (and settle for aluminum), and by the time we were done building the piece we needed the cost was about five hundred, which was fine, but my stove stuck out into the room about a foot and a half. We then talked to a local metal worker and they made the piece for hubby in the heavier stainless steel he wanted for just under four hundred and the stove is 5" from the mantle where it should be. My point is you won't know until you ask. You may find someone who needs this the business, or someone who can say I can't build you this, but I can build you that and give you another idea. |
I don't think that having a hood professionally powdercoated would be too expensive--it would probably look better and hold up nicer than DIY. But...if you're going to paint it, does it matter what the material is? Why not wood, painted whatever color, with metal trim? (Do note that I have no idea that that would be less expensive than metal!) |
While I'm not crazy about their "$agic lung" system (I have one myself) vent a hood does powder coat in many standard and also custom colors. I had them match an AGA range once. They also offer assorted metal trims. A mfg will be the least expensive answer. |

Kali, I appreciate hearing about your experience. Very glad to know you had success finding local talent to build you an attractive space savings pipe. Given we are in Canada, some of the choices such as Modernaire and Rangecraft will cost us extra in duties, shipping, brokerage fees etc. So we may have some cost savings going local. Fori, Thanks for you comment. If we did get it powder coated, we would get that done for us (not spray it in our garage). However, stainless would need to be sand blasted to take any colour so we may not be further ahead. We could consider wood as well. I imagined steel would be easier to wash though. Jakuvall, I am glad to hear Vent-a-hood has an option for a powder coated. I will check them out and see what they offer. Thanks! Carol |

Ok, this is not incredibly helpful as I don't have names or links, but I have seen many options for colored and patterned sheet metal online. And it wasn't too hard to find, I took a quick look when Deedles was looking at copper for something and I went exploring options to have a look. Getting some interesting sheet metal and putting it in a wood frame might be more affordable, it is probably easier to find someone that works with wood to enclose your metal. |
- Posted by OntarioMom (My Page) on Fri, Aug 23, 13 at 22:19
That is a very creative idea, Williamsem! Thanks for your help. I will do some searching. Carol |
We took a design for a range hood that we like in glass & had a local metal fabricator give us a quote for stainless. Their design was beautiful, but more expensive than the glass so have decided to go a different way completely. |
- Posted by OntarioMom (My Page) on Sun, Aug 25, 13 at 8:38
Thanks Flint for sharing your experience. Where did you end up getting your hood? Everyone, Does anyone have an opinion on what colour hood would look. good. Modern-aire will make us a much simplified version of the original picture. However, it will not include any of the metal bands on the sides or top. It will be one powder coated colour, and then the bottom lip will be in stainless. The shape will be similar, but shorter as our ceilings are far shorter than image. The price is within our budget. We will still ask a few metal workers in town how much it will be to add a few extra bands, but I suspect that won't come cheap. But, the one question I have is what colour would look good for the hood? I would rather not do anything in the brown family. I don't suppose there is anyway to do something in a shade of blue or something with a hint of blue? The perimeter cabinets are to be cream and island is to be chocolate. Carol |

Reforming the Tsar's Army: Military Innovation in Imperial Russia from Peter the Great to the Revolution
David Schimmelpenninck van der Oye and Bruce W. Menning
From Peter the Great to Nicholas II, Russian rulers always understood the need to maintain an army and navy capable of preserving the empire's great power status. This volume examines how Imperial Russia's armed forces sought to adapt to the challenges of modern warfare. The tsars inevitably faced the dilemma of importing European military and technological innovations while censoring political beliefs that could challenge the autocracy's monopoly on power. Within the context of a constant race to avoid oblivion, the impulse for military renewal emerges from this volume as a fundamental and recurring theme in modern Russian history.
Contributors include Robert F. Baumann, Mark von Hagen, David R. Jones, Jacob W. Kipp, Willis Brooks, David Schimmelpenninck van der Oye, Gudrun Persson, David Alan Rich, Frederick W. Kagan, Dmitrii I. Oleinikov, Bruce W. Menning, John W. Steinberg, Paul Bushkovitch, Bruce W. Menning, Oleg Airapetov, David M. McDonald, and William E. Odom.

Hi, I have an old snowblower, engine is a Briggs & Stratton. Says Snowbird S241.Anybody know how to tell how old it is? Carb screws keep vibrating off. Don't know much about it. Any advice?
Thanks, Doug |
Follow-Up Postings:
19old! 70's my guess. If look at the Briggs engine #s - the first 2 digits of the code (last set of numbers) will be the year. Depending on which screws come loose, blue locktite and maybe some improved fasteners if necessary to help. |
- Posted by douglas_grow (My Page) on Sun, Dec 21, 08 at 21:50
The code stamped on the engine is 19 digits long. Is there a code on the frame itself? or just on the engine? it just says Briggs & Stratton Snowbird S241. Thanks again. Douglas |
