I think you pretend to mistake strong meat with legalism to make yourself feel better about your worldly attitude and living. You don't fool me though brother. You may be the only persistent baby christian I have seen on this site.
Persistent babies are those who are convicted of giving into the flesh continuously but in their hearts know better. You come here to learn and you yearn to grow but your flesh keeps talking yourself out of it when you come here so you fight.
I don't want to fight with you because I can tell you do want to follow to Christ truly or you would avoid this site like the plague. This site has its issues but you will certainly grow more here than any contemporary rock and roll church.
this statement makes no sense, If I didnt want to follow Christ, i would intentionally avoid this place, I live for him and I am here, so how do you explain that?
BTW, and who is avoiding what?? do you ask yourself this question?? who is the one avoiding issues??

As I'm waiting for my first brew to be finished in the bottle, I'm looking at recipe kits for the next one. I feel like I read somewhere that all-grain recipes require some different techniques and equipment from what I received in first kit. (This first one I brewed used malt extract and hop pellets.) Is this true? I'm only doing one-gallon batches at this point and some of the "(sm)All Grain Recipe Kits" listed on AHS look interesting.
Yes. All-grain requires that you have a way to mash the grains. Usually most people use a cooler to achieve this. You'll then need to sparge the grains, and the rest is as easy as boiling, adding hops, and cooling. Honestly, if you can make oatmeal you can do all-grain. Check out the all-grain section. I went all-grain for about $100 in equipment to start out.
Yes. All grains require that you extract the sugars from the malt grains directly. This requires a different technique called mashing which involves soaking the grains in hot water and then rinsing and extracting your wort from the residual sugar waters. A different technique then adding syrup/sugar to water. Once you get the worty sugar water, boiling it and adding hops is *exactly* the same though. There are equipment, called a mash tun, dedicated to mashing but there are methods using simple equipment such as a grain sack and a method could Boil In A Bag (BIAB) in which you, er, boil in a bag. Brooklyn Brew Shop specialises is 1 gallon all-grain ingredient kits using a pasta pot and a metal strainer and stove top mashing. Heres an example of a recipe they have which describes stovetop mashing. (Although I don't get the "consistancy of oatmeal" business. Mashed grains in my experience *never* have the consistancy of oatmeal.) But you'll probably want to read up an "real" mashing or BIAB.
Once it's determined that Bob's Net Works makes fishing equipment there's really no point discussing why nylon woven rope is not a good choice for the router and server needs of your online presence.
Beer Plus Science = .....Good!!!!! By: Adam Savage
If you are only doing 1 gallon batches, you probably have all the equipment on hand to do all grain. Most of the cost of all-grain startup is due to the increased volumes - eg 7 gallons+ of wort to do a 5 gallon batch. You need big kettles and some way to mash and sparge a good chunk of grain and then some way to cool it. For a 1 gallon batch, you could just use a couple cheapo grain bag, mash right in a pot, and just let the bag drain in a colander. The only real trick would be keeping the temp in the correct range with a small volume. The easiest thing would probably be to preheat you over and then just toss the whole pot in there. That should hold temps close for an hour pretty well.

Swedish court secures ex-Guantánamo Uighur's asylum quest
Adil Hakimjan, the first freed Guantánamo prisoner to be granted asylum in Europe, says he is 'very happy.' President Obama called Friday for seven of the 17 remaining Uighurs at the prison to be released.
Johannes Lindgren
Dalarna, Sweden
On Wednesday, a Swedish court upheld the asylum bid of a Uighur freed from Guantánamo prison in 2006.
Adil Hakimjan, a former merchant, this February became the first of Guantánamo's ex-detainees to avoid return to their homeland and instead be granted asylum in the European Union.
The asylum grant was challenged, but Wednesday's action ensures Mr. Hakimjan will be allowed to stay in his adopted home of Sweden.
"I'm very happy. I can start my new life," an elated Hakimjan said Thursday morning, speaking through a translator. "Sweden is a very good country."
Taking a more somber tone, he then observed, "I hope the world now realizes I'm not a dangerous person and that my friends are not, as well," referring to the 17 Uighurs cleared of wrongdoing by the Bush administration in September 2008, but yet remaining in Guantánamo prison.
In March 2005, Hakimjan was himself cleared of any wrongdoing by a US military tribunal. He had left China in 1999, a victim of what Amnesty International recently termed "harsh repression of ethnic Uighurs," but in the aftermath of 9/11, his journey led not to freedom but into the hands of a bounty hunter in Pakistan and, eventually, the US terror prison at Guantánamo. (For the full story on Hakimjan's journey, click here.)

King Crimson Record Club On Twitter :: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Feb 11, 2014
Crim On The Box :: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Feb 11, 2014 King Crimson were mentioned several times on BBC4 last night during Danny Baker's Rockin' Decades. As well as the cover of Court being prominently featured in the background montage of album covers, Viv Albertine of The Slits cited her love of the first KC album to much nodding from the other guests. LTIA and Red were also mentioned in recaps of particular years of the 70s, although pedantic train-spotters spluttered with apoplexy when Red's release year was cited as 1975. At the end of the hour-long programme each guest was asked to pick an album that represented something special. Viv Albertine chose a KoKoMo album (which of course contains Mel Collins) and host, Danny Baker picked up his treasured copy of Still by Peter Sinfield.

The final panel was made up of several musicians including the original (1972) drummer in Bruce Springsteens East Street Band. A question to the panel regarding how much the Beatles influenced the original Springsteen line up. The drummer, Vin Lopez, responded, We only listened to King Crimson. Joanne jumped out of her seat and threw an enthusiastic elbow into my side. I must say that Vins comment and the flying elbow took my breath away."

A Celebrity Clothing Collection That Is Actually Good
- Fashion
In the muggy depths of New York City's Garment District on Wednesday, Amber Valletta showed the capsule collection that she designed with Los Angeles–based fashion label Monrow. It was a worthy testament to the model's nearly 20 years of close clothes contact. "I was having a really hard time finding basics that I liked that weren't so overpriced," Valletta says. "Plus I've worn a few clothes in my day."
The triteness of the "model-slash" label is forgotten when you see Valletta's pieces, which include impeccably finished dresses, slick and pill-resistant jerseys, and double-faced knits and silks. The items are covetably simple and appropriately inexpensive.It's design by osmosis that comes naturally after myriad hours of fittings, shows, shoots, and showrooms. "You know how nothing ever fits in the back?" she stressed. That problem is solved in a sweeping 1940s wrap gown.
"It's the only project I have where I am involved from start to finish," Valletta says of her line. She currently has two films coming out—Gamer, with Gerard Butler, this fall and a Jackie Chan film next year—and she also managed a delicious cameo in the latest season of Tracey Ullman's State of the Union. But this fashion moment is less about "How does she do it all?" and more about "Where do I get it all?" Clothes will be available in New York and Los Angeles this November.

I have a mature Kwanzan Cherry 12-14ft that was planted from the nursery this past spring. It has been doing very well until premature leaf dropping has become a major issue. Over the past two weeks it has lost about 50% of its leaves. At first there was no visible cause, but now at the end of week two you can see very visible signs of damage on the falling leaves (see pic). Is this cherry leaf spot? I treated the tree today with Chlorothalonil however am wondering if this will address the issue. Also how does one manage a tree that has become ill into next season? Is this condition manageable or is it only time before the tree fails due to stress? Thanks for your thoughts. |

That's leaf spot and very typical. It looks like there could be scale on a couple stems but I can't say for sure. A recent transplant, especially of that size, you should expect 'stress'. Also given the fact this entire year has been so cool, there has been a triggering of early leaf drop (trees thinking the weather is fall-like.) You don't say where you are and should adjust your profile (bottom of the page click on "member pages" and proceed.) A determination of where you are located always helps people process information and causes. I'm in IL for example where the weather has been very-very cool. What I would suggest is you rake up any of those leaves and dispose of them.... keeping them out of the perimeter of your tree so rain and irrigation doesn't return the bacteria back into the soil/roots and continue watering which will establish the roots/tree and monitor in future years if the leaf spot continues while spraying as necessary. Cherries whether ornamental or fruit bearing are magnets for leaf spot. If after several years and possibly continuing past five years you see leaf fungal diseases, you should probably spray the tree while dormant with a liquid copper fungicide. And if you see signs of leaf spot after spraying, spray as necessary according to the label. I think it should be distinguished that the early leaf drop is separate from the leaf spot. Yes, leaf spot will cause pre-mature leaf drop, however, not in the amounts you're currently seeing. Right now it could be cool weather to attribute this to, or equally, it being a new transplant. Regarding what may be scale, have a close look and google the images for scale on leaves. If you have scale which is likely occurring mainly because the tree is in stress... making it vulnerable to insect activity, only treat annually if you see it again in subsequent years... with horticultural oil. You will spray the tree while dormant at the same time as you spray the copper. Best regards, Dax |

its august.. leaf stress is the norm ... i would NOT have treated ... its a large transplant.. august stress multiplied a bazillion times ... never use chems until you have properly IDd the problem... you guessed.. and now wonder .. what does you seller say??? would help to know where you are... and your ambient weather this season ....i have had sporadic prolonged droughts.. ALL my trees are showing stress .. i will treat none of them.. and they have been in the ground 10 plus years ... the number one cause of leaf stress.. in the heat of summer... is improper watering of a large transplant .. and chemical sprays will not solve that issue... more info please ken |
Updated - I'm in Zone 7 (Midlothian, VA) We've had anything but cool weather thus far. We've been daily temps 90s for many weeks. Still in the mid-upper 80's daytime temps. We've had a very hot year, I suspect the leaf spot was triggered by a significant rain event after months of drought and hand watering of this particular tree. My seller unfortunately won't guarantee any plantings (lesson learned for the future). Thanks for the comments. |

Welcome aboard. Nice tree, my neighbor has one. And wow, a big transplant. That must have been quite the feat. Most importantly, follow the above instructions and remove the leaves from the area. Then wash your hands with some anti microbial dish soap and let them dry. Then return to the tree and stick your finger down a few inches to the root ball. See if it is moist or dry then water accordingly. Sometime around when my tiny planted sticks get to be that size watering becomes a chore. What procedure have you been following? May as well post a pic of the trunk where it meets the ground and tell us how they planted it. Was it in wire? Burlap still on? Bare root? |

I joined this forum a couple days ago, so if I am in the wrong area for this post, would someone please give my directions on which forum I need?
A couple years ago I started growing perennials. I have Canterbury Bells that I grew from seeds, along with jumping jack violas. I am not sure where the seeds are in these flowers. Also, I have Snow on the Mountain. I know that it gets a seed stalk. When do I collect the seeds? The

Diana MT, Sorry I can't be of help with locating these seeds as I've never grown them. But if you still haven't found the answer to your question try the perenial forum or the propagating from seed forum or the wintersowing forum. Those seem to be very active right now. Sorry I can't be of more help and welcome to GW. |
- Posted by mrbrownthumb z5 Chicago (My Page) on Tue, Jan 17, 06 at 0:05
near the bottom of the page is a search field. Type in the name of the plant your looking for and hit enter. I just typed in Canterbury Bells, and there were three results. Maybe you can find your info that way, in this forum or any of the others I mentioned. Good luck. |
Canterbury bells (campanula spp.) form seed capsules (after the flowers are gone, of course) that superficially look like small poppy seed heads, and they produce very small seeds that look like small, black to brown to red (Canterbury bells are tan, I believe) flat ovals that look like they have been slightly warped. Each head produces hundreds of seeds. Violas produce small to medium-sized spherical (more or less) capsules that, when ready, will start to turn brownish and split into three "petals". The seeds are small, white-to-brown teardrops, often with a little white bit at the sharp end. You'd want to collect them as soon as the pods open, because if you don't, as the "petals" dry, they will start to contract and squeeze the seeds until they shoot out like bullets (hence the teardrop shape), and you won't be able to get them. If the Snow on the Mountain plants you mean are euphorbia marginata, then the seeds should be rather large (relatively speaking), at least 1/8", if I remember correctly. Good luck, and good collecting! |

Speaking with: Kingsley and Lord Drake
"Don't smack him with the book!" He screeched at the old man who looked like he was fighting a demon as Yang, the sugar glider jumped from the bookcase towards the Maester's necklace. Ying had caught a gust of warm air from the fireplace and was coming up behind the old Maester. "Hold still!" He grabbed the wrist of the old man before he could smash Yang with the large book. "DEMONS!" he was yelling. "They are not!" The man felt the lizard crawl on his chain and he gave a scream like a woman.
"They're just little animals!" Drae said as he put his fingers in Ying's path for the lizard to crawl on. Yang was hanging from the chain and he carefully took him from it before he took them to the small cages meant for them until they got bigger. "See?" He said, glaring at the old man who tried to squish his pets with a big book.
B]"What's going on?" Drae looked sullenly up to his father. "Kingsley opened their cages to get a closer look and they liked his chain." He put his arms across the front of the cages and scooted them away from the old man, giving him a warning glare. "He tried to squish them." he took some large kerchiefs and draped them over the cages so the light wouldn't annoy them and looked to his father.
"Can we have meat pies for dinner? The stews make me feel sick to my stomach. The pies are better." He took the little books out on his pets and started looking at them. He would have to catch some bugs for the lizard, but he could do that in the gardens…Maybe the gardener had bug traps… "Maybe some fruit tarts for dessert?"

A poster depicting the Argentine national flag and the sentence "DON'T EVEN TRY IT-WE ARE ALL CRISTINA (KIRCHNER)" glued to a garbage bin by members of the "Movimiento Evita" pro government organization, can be seen in Buenos Aires on January 22, 2015. Argentine President Cristina Kirchner said Thursday she believed that a prosecutor who died under suspicious circumstances was murdered in a plot to implicate her government in a cover-up of a 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center. Alberto Nisman, the lead prosecutor in the two-decade-old case, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in his home Sunday -- one day before he was to go before a congressional hearing to accuse Kirchner of shielding Iranian officials implicated in the attack, which left dozens dead.

The Oak Park Village Board has approved a collective bargaining agreement with the local police union, locking in an uptick in yearly pay increases for police officers represented by the lodge.
On Aug. 25, the board approved a resolution authorizing the execution of a four-year agreement with the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police's Oak Park Lodge No. 8, the organization that represents police officers in the village.
In addition to a number of minor changes to the successor agreement, the contract will see FOP members in Oak Park receive a slight increase in yearly wage raises. Under the previous agreement, which was in effect from 2011 to 2013, officers received an annual pay increase of 2 percent in 2011 and 2012, followed by a 2.5 percent increase in 2013. Per the new agreement, officers will receive wage raises of 2.25 percent in 2014, followed by a 2.5 percent increase in 2015 and 2016, then capped with a 2.75 percent increase in the final year of the agreement.
Other "non-economic" details of the contract agreement will not be publicized until the FOP finalizes its approval of the agreement. Village Manager Cara Pavlicek said the village hopes that the organization will sign the contract by the end of the week.
Pavlicek said that the agreement did not make specific changes to the officers' health benefits — all full-time village employees are offered the same health care packages — or to the lodge's pension plan, which is negotiated on the state level. The other major change, she said, was that the agreement now runs through four years instead of the three-year term seen in the previous contract — an adjustment that she said benefitted both sides.
Lodge No. 8 represents approximately 90 officers on the Oak Park Police Department; bargaining agreements for the force's sergeants are negotiated separately. Once approved, officers will receive retroactive pay pursuant to the agreement starting from Jan. 1. The contract is due to expire on Dec. 31, 2017.

15 people, where would you eat?
We have 3 2-bedroom villas at Beach Club in October and I am in charge of booking dinners for each night. We have 15 people, and part of the "complication" is that we'll be at F&W quite a bit.
My experiences in the past has been limited to just my wife and me, along with different stages of our growing family, 3 girls (7, 4 & 8 months). We eat out every night. We eat breakfast every morning in the room, and plan to do this except for one character breakfast at Cape May. My question is, while we have spots we like we never look from the perspective of a large group. So, what are the "must-do's" for a large group? A few things to consider: 1) We have 10 adults and 5 kids, and have TIW, so plan to split the check by using the TIW on the 10 adult meals. 2) Cost isn't a huge factor. 3) 2 of the children on the trip will be 5 years old, and this will be their first trip. One boy/one girl. They are already really excited and we have been asked to include on character meal outside of breakfast at Cape May. We've done Akershus with our girls for lunch a number of times, but I'm not sure that works for a group of 15? We are not overly familiar with any of the other character meals so suggestions would be great. 4) I would love to hear from people who have handled planning for large groups, and would love feedback on what you would do differently (or not!). 5) This past November we had an impromptu, early lunch at Yak n Yeti. Even though it was 11:30, and I was not hungry and not feeling great (up most of the night with the baby), I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. When we were there it wasn't crowded, and I'm not a big fan of lunch reservations, would we need one there? It was only 1/3rd full when we left and on a weekday in October I'm not sure it'd be much busier? Part of my issue is that I don't want to overplan, and I feel like lunch ADR's can lead to overplanning...are they only open for lunch? Most of our stays have been at the Beach Club so we are quite familiar with that area, but are aware that dynamics change with a large group. For instance, we enjoy Teppan Edo, but I know that wouldn't work. I also have to factor in F&W. Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated. We will have 8 nights, and are leaning towards one night at the Cape May buffet (probably the last night) in addition to a character breakfast, so I basically have 7 nights to plan. Thanks! |

I think O'Hana breakfast or dinner would be a good choice for your size family. I would try to reserve right on that 180 mark because of the party size. You may need to call because of the party size. They take TIW and have fun activities for the kids during mealtime. The food is pretty good, sometimes it's really good and sometimes ok. It's served "family" styled
I have a review posted on my review website if you'd like to take a look, we were an "extra small" party (LOL ) but, still gives you an idea of how dinner is served. They also have kid's items as well. http://www.disneydiningreviews.com/o...ner-review.htm Another place that comes to mind that can accommodate larger parties but is a little upscale is Il Mulino at the Swan. But, it may be a longer dining experience with not too much for the kids to do. They do have side rooms in which they can accommodate larger party sizes. Food is very good here. I also have a review there as well. They also accept TIW. http://www.disneydiningreviews.com/i...o-new-york.htm |

I'm not a fan of buffets, but Boma worked out really well for our party of 18. It just makes it so easy when you don't have all those people ordering and food coming out at different times, etc. If the adults want to chat a bit first, they can, and the kids can go up and start eating.
For something more upscale, my husband and I once shared the wine room at California Grill with a large party. They seemed to be having a great time (even though it was a little loud for us. lol.) I don't know if you could request the room specifically.

I don't know if you are looking for a place in Epcot since you may be stuffing yourself at F&W everytime you are there, but Biergarten would be fun with a big group. You could get 2 8 person tables right next to each other (you wouldn't be able to all sit at one) and enjoy the band and the kids could get out on the dance floor. DD loved it there when she was 5 (and 3, and 4 and 6), and our friends' sons love it too.

Via Napoli has a large table centered on the pizza ovens that seats large groups. That would be a fun meal, and the food is delicious.

We had a Grand Gathering of 15 last August. My parents were celebrating their 50th Anniversary with their 3 kids and their families. We decided the best approach was two large meals - one at the beginning of the trip and one at the end. Each family could then do their own meal planning to what suited them. In addition, Grandma&Grandma booked one meal with each individual family to spread their attention.
My large group meals were booked outside parks, so families could go where they wanted during the day. We had Chef Mickey's for dinner to start. Although, food is always hit or miss there, it was amazing for the large group. They placed everyone in two side by side large circle tables. Allergies were accommodated, and as we were "celebrating" it was the perfect atmosphere. I ordered a cake ahead of time and the service was amazing for my family. Also, we were able to get the group photo before the meal of all 15 together. The last large group seating was at Whispering Canyon. It was a dud (and I had eaten there before). They wanted to do 3 small tables not close by -- for the first seating of the night! Eventually, worked to two tables but couldn't communicate between. Everyone had to have the skillet, and server didn't bother with antics, and it was SLOW. Some hints -- try to book the first seating of the night (5:00-ish) to have better chance of seatings. Any meal over 6 people is a large group and you are charged 18 percent automatically. My "grandparent" meal of 6 was at Akersus, and again was quite nice. That time I picked the last breakfast seating for more quiet and lots of princess time. Again, having the photo made a nice souvenir for groups. We got two packages included because of the size of our party. EDIT: wanted to add we were staying at the Beach Club. One fun thing Grandpa did was take all the grandkids alone to Beaches&Cream to share the Kitchen Sink. Makes for a special trip memory -- and not something you would do unless you had a bigger group ... or really large appetite!

I have done 3 large group vacations at WDW for our family. We have had anywhere from 11 to 17 people. We usually stay at BCV since that is my home resort.
The first one was a disaster. Why? Because I planned all meals, activities and touring together, as a group. It just doesn't work. So my first and most important piece of advice is to not plan to be together all of the time. The next two vacations went much more smoothly. This is how I did them: We did the first meal as a group. Both vacations we did Tusker House character breakfast on our first morning. This is my favorite character meal because the food is good and varied. Plus we get the photo with Donald all as a big group. Our last night together I book Hoop de Doo for everyone. It works great for large groups and all ages enjoy it. Again, you get another group photo so you have bookend photos as an entire group-the beginning with Donald at Tusker and the last night at Hoop de Doo. We did the last meal as a group. Both vacations it was Cape May breakfast. I like it because it's right at the resort, it's relaxing and easy to have conversation along with good character interaction before everyone heads to the airport. Through the rest of the vacation, there were sometimes dinners booked togther but nothing during the day. That way it was not required that everyone be at the same place at the same time. I set up a meeting time every morning in the BCV lobby. It was the same time every morning. Those who wanted to tour in a larger group could chat and discuss it; those who wanted to sleep in just skipped the meeting. Everyone has cell phones so it's easy to check in later. I scheduled every adult couple in the party an evening to themselves; a date night. Their kids were absorbed in with the aother families for the 2 hours of their date dinner. Every couple picked their own date night restaurants and everyone loved being able to do it. It wasn't required and not every couple wanted to do it but it was offered and some took advantage of it. We also had one night that was adults only; the kids went to the Sandcastle Club at BC. We always choose bluezoo for that dinner because it's not child friendly and we enjoy that meal a lot. The youngest child in our group has been 3 so this worked for us. I realize that if you have an 11 month old you won't be able to use kids' clubs. The kids loved this more than anything else. In fact, after that night, they wanted to go to the kids club every night. We do not set touring plans together. We have found that two children can have vastly different ideas of what is fun to do. On our last one, we had one child who only wanted to meet characters. Another wanted to do rides. Touring together would not have worked. So by not planning things that mandate being together works better in my opinion. We went during food & wine last time so my husband and I rented a cabana at Typhoon Lagoon one day and took all of the kids while the other adults went and enjoyed the day at F&W. They all said they had a great time at F&W but I think my husband and I had more fun with the kids at the waterpark. A dinner was booked every night for those who didn't have individual plans. Most restaurants can seat large groups together. Some days, this was our only time together as a group and it was fun getting to talk about what we each did that day. Oh, and on our last one we did go to MNSSHP together. We had a blast. October is not a slow time; I would not count on in-park walk ins for lunch at TS places. We only ever do 1 TS a day with the exception of the 2 character breakfasts I mentioned above. We found staying flexible during the day was much easier on everyone. |

Thank you all for the great feedback. Funny enough, my sister is coming for the first time since the late 80's!, and she last stayed at the Poly, so she vaguely remembers it and wants to go back--so Ohana's is going to be a must.
We will be at least attempting to eat most of our meals together. We're all siblings who get along very well, have traveled together quite a bit and our kids are all virtually the same ages. We DO have plans to split up for some nights out after dinner. I do need to look more into the babysitting services, like the Sandcastle Club. To the poster who recommends Via Napoli, that is definitely on the list. I stopped in just to take a peak and think it'd be perfect to go and split a bunch of pizzas. Biergarten is another spot we've never tried, so I have lots to consider! I am thinking about leaving one night open to just eat our way around F&W! |

One trip we had a few meals together as a large group. The overwhelming favorite after the fact was the ESPN club on the Boardwalk. We were 16 and two tables right next to each other. The tables were near the kids recliners/comfy chair which the kids enjoyed. Not everyone was a sports fan but I think everyone enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. I don't think they take reservations but we showed up early and had no problem.
Crystal Palace was popular too but none of them had ever done a character meal before. |

Two bits of advice:
1) many restaurants make you call to reserve ADRs when your party is large, number varies by restaurant. 2) plaza is doable but only has small tables, go off peak time or will wait long time for seating |

We did 'Ohana a couple of weeks ago with a party of 25. We were seated at several different tables in the same section. The service was awesome, they took great care of us! Individuals from different families sat at all different tables to mix it up and at the end of the dinner, they had no problem separating who was with which check for separate checks. We were very impressed. Now the food was on the new menu trial and a different story, but overall, it was a great dinner and still remains one of our favorites!

We made a last minute ADR at Bluezoo Christmas Eve 2011 for 18. We called from the Boardwalk pool at 3:00 and sat down at 4:45. It was a wonderful meal that everyone enjoyed even the picky eaters! We had two waiters that tag teamed two large tables that were close to each other. The regular WDW visitors (6 of us) can't wait to go back on our Christmas trip 2013.

Someone else might correct me, but I don't believe Yak n Yeti honors TiW. Don't want you to get there with so many people and be surprised!

I recently have been offered the opportunity to move to Florida & 95% sure I'm going to do it. The only thing that is stopping me is my yard! I have invested so much time $ into it & having a hard time giving it up. I will be renting a house for an undetermined amount of time, so bringing everything with me is not possible. I do have 29 clems that are must haves to bring along. Does anyone have an idea how I can recoop my cost on the remaining 32? The majority of them were planted last year, so I know they will be easy to dig up. Should I put them on Craigs List? Would you buy them from there? |

How about listing them here first? I lost almost all the chalk hill clems that I paid a fortune to have shipped here, and can use some replacements. Marie in ME |
Selling is prohibited on Gardenweb. Craigslist and Ebay could help. If you will sell them on Craigslist, be sure to prepare pictures of your Clematis in bloom printed for buyers. |
- Posted by lalalandwi 5b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 15, 09 at 18:27
I have been doing some research on which clematis will do well in Florida & from what I have read ELF won't fair as well as texensis, intregrifolia & viticella, so the majority are 2's plus a few intregrifolias that look similiar enough that I will only bring 1. I can't even imagine trying to tend to 29 clems in pots down there but I am going to try my best. I love them too much to give them up. I know I am going to lose $ & if I can gain 1/2 of it back I'd be happy. I just wish I had more time to have enjoyed them! Alina, how much did you ask in the add? Would it be better to list 'make an offer' for Craigs list? Would Ebay be better? If Ebay, how much would you ask? |
- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 15, 09 at 21:13
Lucky you -- getting away from the rotten winters. I would have a hard time leaving my garden too, and would do everything I could to keep my favorite clems. I wish you all the best on your new adventure. |
- Posted by lalalandwi 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jun 16, 09 at 8:44
Thank you Janet! It has been really hard! In addition to all of the clems I acquired last year, I also went a little daylily nuts & have over 100 of them that I'm trying to figure out which ones to bring. I posted on that forum as well & they have been extremely encouraging. Makes me feel like I should be gone already! |
- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Tue, Jun 16, 09 at 9:19
You'll be able to grow evergreen daylilies without needing to worry about them not surviving winter. I'm sure it will be fun learning about all the new plants you will be able to grow. There is a Florida forum here, so that could be a huge help to you. |
Oooh, and you can grow Passiflora! |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Tue, Jun 16, 09 at 12:05
I would be interested in purchasing daylilies and Clematis from you if you are willing to ship. I know of an online forum where you are allowed to sell too. I'm sure you'd get more from other enthusiasts than on Craig's List. Email me. If the link doesn't work my ISP is Comcast.net and my username is buyorsell888. I'd move home to Phoenix in a heartbeat if my husband would go. Sunnier climate oh yea! I knew someone (online pond friend) who moved from Ohio to Florida and within two years half her friends and family had followed! |
- Posted by lalalandwi 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jun 16, 09 at 14:08
LOL, I've already been to the Florida forum & it is a pretty active forum too! After searching that forum, the only clematis I read that someone has is crispa...native. I have that one so it is for sure coming with. I also searched this forum to see if anyone is growing them in FL. I ran across a thread that nckvilledude researched for someone & that is how I know the texensis, viticella & intregrifolias will do well. The pros of being able to grow those evergreen dls might outweigh the cons of rust! Here it doesn't survive winter, down there I will have to spray like crazy. You can try passiflora! I see it being sold in nurseries here as an annual, BUT I have heard of a few success stories of it coming back every year if it is in a protected spot. If you can find one for cheap, I would try it. Leanne, you bet! I will put together a list for you. You may want a lot of those dls. I would love for them to go to a happy home :) I think I told you this before, my youngest brother & family live just outside of Phoenix. IF my family would ever decide to move, I believe it would be there & not FL. My dad is a few years from retirement & has mentioned getting a condo there. Mom refuses to because the majority of the grandkids are here. |

lalalandwi, I just caught up with this thread, and wanted to wish you the very best of luck. You've been a great asset to the forum (and specifically very helpful to me recently), and I hope you'll continue to participate in Florida. I can't imagine tending all those clems in pots! You're a brave woman. I have family in Cape Coral and don't see much in the way of gardens when I visit them, but I know the best gardens are rarely seen from the street! I'm sure yours will be one of them someday. |
- Posted by lalalandwi 5b (My Page) on Sun, Jun 21, 09 at 22:38
Wow, butterclem! Thank you so much! Of course I will! I'm still trying to narrow down that list, but can't seem to part with them! I'll keep you posted on how everything goes...now to just sell the house. My family isn't making this very easy for me either. They are not telling me not to do it, but they are all using their kids to get me extra sappy :) Yesterday I was at my niece's 2nd bday party & started to cry. Today for Fathers Day & all of my sibs being there, just as bad. I have a lot more of those events coming up in the next month too. Trust me, this isn't easy. I wish I could pack all them up & bring them like a clem! |

"This delicious grilled pork is an especially nice dish to do in the fall, when there's an abundance of fresh apples. Prep time doesn't include marinating time."

"I loved the marinade. My boys ate every morsel of pork; but being boys, only ate some of the apples. Very good! Thanks"
"Ok, I have to be honest here. I made this recipe up at night with the intention of grilling it the next day, but came down with a stomach virus. So daughter Kree made it up for her and her father, and they both raved about it and gave it a full 5 stars! The apples were a nice touch. I will be making this again very soon so I get to enjoy it also."

I have nearly 300 of these "mystery guest" reports. Both Chuck Lawless and I have posted about them on my blog.
In the past, the mystery guests would grade the visit based on several criteria. Less than 20 percent of these reports were graded "B" (good visit) or higher.
I wonder how long I could be successful in ministry without God? I've been in vocational ministry for 31 years, and I seldom encounter a situation I haven't seen before. I have a stockpile of sermons to pull from and many other places where I can grab a complete sermon with a moment's notice.
I do strategy, staffing and structure in my sleep. My experience, connections and the Internet give me all the tools I need to do ministry and do it at a very high level. God is good but often not all that necessary.
For most youth workers, few things in ministry are as dreaded as navigating conflict—especially when it comes in the form of an angry parent or frustrated volunteer and when it comes suddenly and unexpectedly.
You know the scenario: You're hanging out in the youth room doing your youth pastor thing, and before you see it coming, he's in your face. He's on a mission. He's got a few concerns, and he's gonna share them with you right now. He has no desire to think about the timing. His agenda is the only one that matters. He's a ticking time bomb, and time is running out.
Ever wonder why some small group ministries seem to steadily move to new levels of success and health while others start with a bang and go out with a whimper?
Here are five commitments that make the difference:
1. Connecting everyone to a small group is a top objective every year. By "everyone," I mean everyone. And it's not just 50 percent or 80 percent of the weekend adult attendance. I'm talking about 150 percent of the weekend adult attendance number! In addition, the commitment is to a small group (i.e., not a class or a Bible study that meets in rows). And it's not about off-campus versus on-campus. It's all about connecting to a group that includes the essential ingredients of life change. (See also "Essential Ingredients of Life Change" and "Design Your Group for Life Change.")
My wife loves to put together jigsaw puzzles. I'm not patient enough to always help, but I do try as much as I can stand it. A couple of Sundays we were on the back porch and I was watching Georgie put a puzzle together.
Here are three lessons the church can learn:
1. You have to look at the big picture first. She always starts with the box in front of her. When she can see the big picture, she can then start to put the pieces together. In the church world, always start with the big picture. The Great Commission and the vision God has given your church should be the backbone of everything.

The Little Gym of Gurnee, a branch of the nationwide network of Little Gyms, fosters educational wonderment, physical development, and self-confidence in children aged four months to 12 years old through engaging, interactive classes. Trained instructors lead the classes and impart motor skills, language development, and leadership skills through karate and dance classes, as well as brain boost activities—all with the goal of encouraging age-appropriate development in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere.
Tucked away inside Gurnee's Holiday Inn sits Juz Jokkin Comedy Club, a new venue with a respectable pedigree. Although young, the club has already attracted heavy hitters such as Dave Chapelle and Gabriel Iglesias to its Friday and Saturday night shows. Each of these performances is hosted by Sonya D, a native Chicagoan who's appeared on BET, Showtime at the Apollo, and on stage with Kanye West.
Originally opened in 1927, the Genesee Theatre slowly deteriorated over the course of the century until its closing in 1989. But starting in 2001, a $23 million cash infusion from the city allowed 120 volunteers to restore the theater to its Gilded Age splendor. Its elegant trappings include authentic wall fabrics, an exact replica of the original marquee, and a 2,200-pound chandelier that gently spotlights the grand lobby and every audience member passing underneath to show how everyone is a star if you really think about it.
Hundreds of LEGO pieces scatter across C&A Robot Factory?s worktables, where kids follow plans or their own imaginations to build everything from programmable robots to remote-controlled vehicles. During the center's projects and camps, children work through projects that explore science, math, and creativity. They might build a LEGO space station, program the movements of a solar-powered robot from a selection of new models in WeDo classes, or use salt water to power a LEGO car. The stop-motion-animation project?where kids assemble LEGO bricks into a movie set and then take hundreds of photographs that are edited together to become a short movie?stretches the potential applications of LEGOs even further.
Creative opportunities, however, aren't limited to structured projects. During open-play sessions kids can use C&A Robot Factory?s thousands of LEGO blocks to assemble buildings or the world?s most uncomfortable carpet. The LEGO Ville area lets toddlers play as well, surrounding them with Duplo blocks, cars, and trains.
The 2014 Fitness Fusion Expo is put on by the ThYck Troupe organization, a nonprofit performing-arts company that creates performance opportunities for women with curves. Today, ThYck Troupe has gained the support of Secretary of State Jesse White and Governor Pat Quinn in its mission to enrich the Chicago arts community.
In addition to mentoring young women and promoting size acceptance, the troupe produces an original web series, organizes fashion shows, and showcases performers in theatrical and musical productions. With the Thyck and Fit Initiative, they broadcast a message of health as well as confidence, giving full-figured women and men the tools they need to achieve good exercise and nutrition habits at any size.

This is an essential tool for those long bolts and nuts. Especially lug nuts. It is well worth it and will save you from carpal tunnel syndrome.

Benson, NC
I scoured six different stores to get the USA made version of this. It works like a champ! I have three of them one for each drive size all USA made. They are out there you just have to look.
Avon, IN
via sears.com
The speed wrench I bought works great and saves time. In the first week I had the wrench, I removed and replaced over 1000 screws. Saved time and energy and allowed for greater leverage on the screws and reduced the amount of screws that would normally have striped out. Snugging up the new screws was easy and fast.
Floyds Knobs, IN
This is a very time saving and joint saving tool. Take the example of pulling a tire/wheel off a car. One or two twists with a breaker bar or ratchet and the nut is loose. The rest of the work is simply get the nut off the end of the threaded stud. You can: 1. continue to use your ratchet resulting in unneccassary wear and tear on it and you, or 2. gather up your impact wrench, charge up your compressor and make some noise, or 3. grab for your speeder wrench and make short work of this repetative task. So the lesson hear is simple my over 50 friends. Keep you Speeder Wrench and you Advil handy at all times.
Sarasota, FL
speeder bar gives me a quick tool to hand tighten multiple and repetitive nuts on a project. A ratchet takes too long because of it limited turn range and a drill drived can over tighten a nut. A must have in my bag
Auburn, AL
via sears.com
It has good feeling while using it and is ultra handy.
Castaic, CA
via sears.com
This was a staple tool in every gear-head's toolbox, but they've become increasingly difficult to find. Great for quick engine assembly. Some would say these have been replaced by drill guns with a 3/8" drive attachment. the difference is with the speed handle, you can actually feel if something is cross-threaded or if a bolt is not turning the way it should.

...within the next week. I've been reading your posts and clipped out a few that I thought had great information.
So far based on what I've read I'm liking the Olympus E500 or the Nikon d50. What are the pro's and con's of each of them. While I never plan to turn in my insurance license to become a professional photographer, I'd like a good quality camera that I can take portraits with and beautiful landscape pics and macros. Also, do all camera lenses fit all cameras? Probably not, and probably a dumb question. My father was a photography nut and had great equipment although that was over 30 years ago. Somewhere I have a then somewhat expense minolta camera from 23 years ago when I was going to be a photo journalist. I quit school, and photography except for a few pictures here and there. Saved money taking my son's graduation pictures, have a few pics of this and that but by and large I need the camera to do all of the above and be easily managed. My first digital camera was a sony mavica with a disc, I upgraded to the very very large and cumbersome mavica with a cd. I stopped taking pictures as it was very very large and cumbersome. I think I would like a camera that can be point and shoot OR manually set. |
Follow-Up Postings:
All DSLR can be manual or point and shoot, I believe. Get Popular Photography from your library, they have a review of the Nikon D40, I think it is. I had a Sony Mavica w/floppy as my first digital, too, and I'm also an insurance agent! My current cameras (and I LOVE them!) are a Sony DSC-H5 (x12 optical zoom, great quality pics) and a Canon Digital Rebel 400D (DSLR) and a small Canon for my purse. Digital photography is addictive, but you probably know that already. The DSLR's can be large and cumbersome, when you add a few lenses to the mix. If you just use the kit lens or one of that range, then they're not too bad at all. JoanMN/FL |
I've got the Canon Digital Rebel XTi which is the same as the 400D that joanmn has, but mine came with a kit lens. I'm a huge Canon lover. I also have a Canon S40 and then upgraded to the S80. No, not all lenses are interchagable with every camera. You have to make sure you get what you need. And then there is the problem of trying to figure out what lenses you're going to want. I was going to ask on one board but someone beat me to it. This was the question: What is your favourite lens and why is it your favourite? Well, there were about 100 replies with 100 different answers and 100 different reasons. So I'm no closer to knowing which lenses I need. I may just have to take out a bank loan and buy them all...... |

My favourite 'want-to-have' camera would be the newest Olympus with the 18x zoom - from wide angle (28mm) to extreme telephoto (500mm) in one camera. No extra lenses to carry around. You can see the action - the UFO landing on the other side of the park - and have a close-up of the pilot, without the risk of getting too close. They're probably friendly, but you can't take the risk. And the problem with interchangeable lenses is that dust gets sucked in to the electronic innards, when you change lenses. (Some cameras have a built-in 'vibrator' to "shake the dust out" - yeah, right!). |

In America it's known as the Olympus SP-550 UZ - price $500 (US):- - 4.68 – 84.24mm (28 – 504mm equivalent in 35mm photography) - high-speed sequential shooting (get those shots of everybody running from the UFO) And further propaganda:- - 30 Shooting Modes: Auto, Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual, My Modes, GUIDE, Scene Presets (Portrait, Landscape, Landscape & Portrait, Night Scene, Night & Portrait, Sport, Indoor, Candle, Self-Portrait, Available Light Portrait, Sunset, Fireworks, Cuisine, Documents, Auction, Shoot & Select1, Shoot & Select2, Beach, Snow, Underwater Wide1, Underwater Wide2, Underwater Macro), Movie - So, why wouldn't you want one? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Olympus SP 550
darkcastor- sorry, but you are incorrect. SP550 and the E500 are two different cameras. SP550 is a 'point and shoot' and the E500 is a Digital SLR camera. I have the Canon XT, Olympus E500, and E1. I like all three for different reasons. I do have to say the the E500 (dual lens kit) is the best deal on the market. The kit lenses are really good, especially for a kit. Focal length multiple is 2x. The colors of the E500 are great, second to none. I played with the D50 a long time ago and it had a serious banding issue. I coudn't get over it to buy one. The E500 is more sensitive to noise at the higher ISOs. I can handle noise better than I can handle banding. There are a lot of lenses available for the Nikon mount *BUT* most of those made for the film format, not the CCD sensor. The physics are different. I suggest the E500 personnally... Joe |

"darkcastor- sorry, but you are incorrect. SP550 and the E500 are two different cameras. SP550 is a 'point and shoot' - and the E500 is a Digital SLR camera". READ MY LIPS. I'm sorry - but WHERE did I mention the E500? I have an aversion to using cameras which require lugging extra lenses around, and risking damage to it while changing lenses. I am perfectly happy with a 'point and shoot' if it takes the photographs that I want. I have NO hang-ups about 'playing Professional' with a Digital SLR (which is incorrect terminology anyway). I will go with the latest technology - and this Olympus strikes me as being as good a camera as you'll need. IF somebody wants to enlarge their images to poster size - this will do it. But how many do? (And it's NOT always about the camera lens - talk to any Professional. I can name THREE who use a point & shoot). Although, these cameras had a less than perfect record with their (film) camera lenses - but that was a long time ago. Times change. I still stick with my original suggestion. And I will be getting one, since looking at the specifications. |
Man, chill out. Here is where *I thought* you indirectly mentioned the E500: "In America it's known as the Olympus SP-550 UZ" I did not mean to offend, my apologies. You should toughen up a bit though, it's just the internet. Also, the DLSR is not the camera I use to take the majority of my pictures, it is a point and shoot. I have owned more P&S cameras the SLRs. Also, I do not want/ try to be a proffesional, nor do I play one on TV. To say it isn't about lens strikes me as odd. It is about the lens, just as much as it abou the sensor. What isn't so important is the camera brand, that is where all the hang-ups are at... |
- Posted by firewire800 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 19, 07 at 23:31
To say it isn't about lens strikes me as odd. Here too. It's only about the lens. Rule #1: Lenses take pictures, cameras hold film (sensor). Over the past 30 years as a photographer I can honestly say I never really bought a camera. I buy lenses and then adjust to whatever camera is behind them. I've owned many Zeiss lenses -- the Hasselblads behind them were OK. For years I shot with a Contax G system, not because of the camera but because that was the camera I was forced to use in order to use the 28mm f/2.8 Biogon (hands down best 28mm lens ever made on the planet) that I purchased. When I owned a Pentax 6x7 it was because the 55mm f/3.5 was the best medium format wide angle available on an SLR at the time (loved the lens & hated the camera). I always shop for lenses first, cameras second. Now that I use digital cameras nothing's changed -- lenses take pictures, camera's hold the sensor. Another way to put it: If I want a lens, I'll consider compromises and adjustments to deal with the camera. I would never consider the opposite. Joe |

I never realized getting a camera would be so... contraversial. :~) I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do, but from what I'm reading if I want lenses to begin with I need to get the that starts with two. It seems like it might have a slight advantage. |
I am going to buy a new camera too but still haven't invested. Hopefully there will be a sale or rebate coming up. I had a post there. Go back about 2 pages and look for EOS Canon 400 or 30D cameras. There was some good information there. Maybe it would help you. It did me. June |

Actually Joe and Nitro, you've been very help and amusing yourselves! Not enough sleep here, I have mental images of both of you in a room, snarling at each opposite corners shooting pictures of each other with bright flash trying to blind each other lol. |
- Posted by blue_velvet_elvis (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 07 at 7:45
Well, although I appreciated your advise, I won't be getting the new camera. The money went to buy a generator and battery operated sump pump because the ice storm of the century here in Iowa. One day though, I'm going to get a camera. Thanks for your assistance. |
BVE So sorry you can't buy a new camera now ... sometimes needs come before wants. Wonder if darkcastor bought the Oly SP 550 UZ? |

Here's my recipe for a Simcoe single-hop IPA that I'm brewing next week. Thoughts? Grain: 10# Pale 2-row 2# Crystal 20L Hops: Simcoe 13% AAU 1oz (60min) .5oz (15min) .5oz (10min) .5oz (5min) .5oz (0min) Yeast: WLP060 American Ale Blend Anticipating an OG of 1.066 and FG of 1.016
for my taste 2lbs of crystal is too much, but thats just me.
Yeah. That's a bit much on the crystal. I'd bump the two row up to 11 or 11.5 and even the mash out to 12 pounds with crystal 20 or 40. I like 40 and 60 in my IPAs. My buddy just did a Simcoe SMaSH and toasted two pounds of his grain at 300 for 30-45 minutes and it came out delicious with a hint of smokey flavor that really helped the Simcoe shine.
I'd drop the caramel down to >lb switch it to 40/60, add some Munich, a little red wheat. Possibly some warrior for bittering and save the simcoe for sub 10 minutes and have a big hop stand.
I did an all Simcoe and it was great. Grain bill was similar but I'm with the rest of the crew to drop the crystal down. A nice clean IPA that I've done a few times is 10# 2-row, 1# C-40, 1# Vienna.

Disagree with C-60 comments. C-40 or below is my preference for IPAs. Sometimes I don't use any Crystal. Nevertheless, 16.7% Crystal is certainly too much in an IPA. Half of that amount would even be pushing it. Double all of your late hop additions and include a 3 oz. dryhop for 7 days. If you mash lower than 152 F, add 5-6% corn or table sugar to your current recipe, make a yeast starter of the appropriate health and size, oxygenate the hell out of your wort, ferment at the appropriate temps. and for the appropriate time, then I see no reason why you shouldn't get above 80% attenuation. This will significantly reduce your FG and make your beer drier, which is better for AIPAs as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for all the feedback! I ended up ordering 10# 2 row, 1# Crystal 20L, and 1# Vienna.

Huntelaar eyed by Schuster
03 Apr 2008 - 08:09:50
Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has dropped a massive hint that his club will make a big-money summer move for Ajax's star striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
The 24-year-old Netherlands international is one of Europe's hottest properties after scoring more than 50 goals in two years with the Amsterdam club and Schuster is clearly a fan.
He told AS: "This lad is very similar to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Marco Van Basten. He is a spitting image of them. It seems that they have made a clone in a laboratory.
"He has qualities of Van Nistelrooy and Van Basten. He moves in a similar way, is tall, shoots with two feet, does well in the air and is a good goalscorer.
"As well as that, these guys have a good schooling, learn things easily and are good professionals. This gives some security when signing them.
"Here he will not score 30 goals a season like there, but maybe he will score five less."
