My First Trip Report
I've been to WDW a few times, but this is my first attempt at a trip report.
Cast: Me - 40 something mom who loves Disney DH - 30 something dad, uses a wheelchair at WDW due to multiple sclerosis DD6 - my little daredevil DD9 - celebrated her 9th birthday at Disney on 9/15 Day 1 - 9/13/06: We had an early flight Wednesday morning, left shortly after 8:00 am. We flew on Southwest, and the flight attendants were wonderful. They were very funny, making jokes the whole flight. We arrived at Orlando around 11:00. There was a very short line to check in a Magical Express. However, we did have to wait a while for a bus going to Pop Century that had a wheelchair lift. The bus driver from the airport to the hotel was very good also, told lots of jokes but also gave us a lot of Disney information - park schedules, etc. There was a long line at check in, but they had lots of CMs working and the line moved quickly. Our room was ready (80's section, handicap accessible room with a connecting room). We went to the rooms to drop off our backpacks, the maid was just finishing cleaning the 2nd room. We found that the lock was broken on the door connecting the rooms. The maid called maintenance for us, and they were there within minutes; we left for the parks, and the lock was fixed by the time we got back. We stopped by the food court for a quick bite to eat since we had a 4:15 ADR at Sci Fi Dine In - we had the free dining plan. We weren't really hungry yet, so we just used 1 of our counter service credits and split a chicken strips meal. Also filled up our mugs! I love those things - we drink so much soda and lemonade that they are definitely worth it for us. Then we headed to MGM. We didn't get there until just before 3:00, so we were running a little later than I had planned. We couldn't believe the crowd level - it was so low! We walked on to Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster. Only DD6 and I went on TOT, DD9 is very timid and refused to try it, so DH waited with her. Then we all went on RNRC, talked DD9 into trying it; she did not like it at all. Me and DD6 loved both rides. Then we headed over to Star Tours (DH is a big Star Wars fan) and walked right on this one as well. We've done this ride many times in the past; it's a good ride, but I'd like to see them update it a little. The waiting area is cool too; we love the forest of Endor outside the entrance. Then we went to Sci Fi for Dinner, actually got there a little early and were seated right away. DH did not like this place, way too dark for him. We had to ask the waiter for a flashlight so we could read the menu and see our food (I have posted dining reviews). DH did say something to the waiter about the lighting, and he had the manager come over to our table (although we did not request this). This man (Thom) is very good at his job! DH was a little frustrated about the lighting; the manager offered to get us a seat immediately at any other restaurant at MGM. Since we had already ordered and our food had just arrived, we elected to stay at Sci Fi; he did give us 4 coupons good for either a pin and lanyard or 2 snack credits each. We used 2 of the coupons for pins for the DDs (they love pin trading) and the other 2 coupons for snacks. I loved the atmosphere at Sci Fi (although I do agree that is should be just a little brighter); a thought the car tables were really cute, it really looks like an old fashioned drive in. After dinner we went to see the Beauty and the Beast show. We all enjoyed this, especially the DDs. We stopped to get some Mickey ice cream bars after the show, then headed over to get seats for Fantasmic. We got there at 7:00 for the 8:30 show. Just sat and relaxed while we waited for the show; also talked to a very nice CM who was giving DDs tips about pin trading. It started raining a little before the show, then rained lightly during part of the show, but never hard enough for us to consider leaving, although some people did leave about half way through. This show was fantastic! It is a definite Must See at MGM! The park closed at 8:30, so after Fantasmic, we headed for the bus back to Pop. Our luggage was in our room when we got back. We unpacked and then went to bed so we could get an early start the next day. One other thing, there were a LOT of characters around - and I forgot my camera! I left it in my backpack in the hotel room. I almost bought a disposable camera just so I could get some pictures - there were a lot a characters we don't normally see - Cruella Deville, the evil queen for Snow White, and lots of others. I had never seen so many characters in one place. I didn't buy the disposable camera because we planned on coming back to MGM later in the week. Big mistake because our plans changed and we never made in back to MGM. Day 2 - 9/14/06: Today we headed to Epcot. Again the park was not crowded at all; we walked on most rides, never had to use a Fast Pass or DH's GAC (Guest Assitance Card); some rides weren't even using the Fast Pass Machines. We went to the Land pavilion first, walked right on Soarin' - we love this ride, went on it a few years ago at Disneyland. We asked for the first row and still did not have a wait. The Living with the Land ride (DD9's favorite) was closed. Next we headed to the Seas pavillion. We had a very short wait for Turle Talk. This was great! It is amazing how they have Crush talk to the people in the "human tank." Then we looked at all the exhibits - DD9 loves anything to do with science or animals, so she loved this part. Next we went to Test Track; talked DD9 into riding with us; she didn't like it very much, but she did go on it twice - they let us stay on for a 2nd ride, since there was no line we didn't even have to get off and get back in line. DD6 loved this ride - she's just like her mommy, loves all roller coasters, and she's now tall enough to go on all of them. Next we headed over to Mission Space. I was the only one who went on this one (again, no wait, walked right on) and I did the original "more intense" version. I really liked this ride, it really feels like you are blasting off into space. I decided it was a little too intense for DD6 (she did ride the "less intense" version later in the week). I knew DD9 would not like it, and DH had done it last year, he liked it but spinning rides do not agree with him due to his illness (MS). We stopped at the Electric Umbrella for lunch, then stopped at the Character Connection and got pictures taken with Mickey, Minnie, Chip and Dale, and Goofy. Next we headed to Ellen's Energy Adventure. This show is pretty good but too long. The best part is the dinosaurs - DDs loved this and could name most of the dinosaurs. Next we went to the World Showcase. DDs got a mask at the first country (Mexico) and we stopped at every country so they could pick up the little things to attach to them. We went on the boat rides in Mexico and Norway. DD9 liked these rides; the rest of us liked them only because they were relaxing we got out of the heat for a while. The last stop was Canada, which worked out perfectly since we had reservations at Le Cellier. We had a 6:40 ADR but were not seated until 7:00. People without ADR's were being turned away. It was definitely worth the wait - this was our best meal of the week! The food was delicious, and our waitress (Katelyn) was wonderful. We stayed to watch Illuminations (Katelyn told us some good spots to watch from). It was good, but not nearly as good as Fantasmic. Day 3 - 9/15/06: This was DDs 9th birthday. We went to Magic Kingdom for the day. We stopped and got her a birthday button right after we got to the park. It was Little Ones early hours - Fantasy Land opened at 8:00 for Disney resort guests, the rest of the park opened at 9:00. We got to the park right after 8:00 and were able to go on the carousel, Dumbo, It's a Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, and the tea cups before 9:00. There were a lot of characters out as well - Stitch was riding on Dumbo with the kids. Minnie and Daisy were playing with the kids, did Ring Around the Rosie with a group of girls. One of the CM's noticed my daughter's birthday button and had everyone sing Happy Birthday to her. I got a few pictures of the castle as we were coming into the park - you could still see the crane they are using to take down the decorations. Most of the decorations are down, but that ugly mirror was still up. By 9:00 the crane was down and out of sight. Then we went to DDs favorite ride, Splash Mountain. Again, walked on all rides today, never used a Fast Pass. We went on Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad twice each. Then we went on the riverboat, a nice relaxing ride. Went to Pecos Bills for lunch; DH loved the fixings bar. We used 3 counter service credits here instead of 4 since they give you so much food; saved a credit for our last day. We did this a few times during the week. I can't remember the order of the rides, but we went on: Pirates (I loved the changes - Captain Jack looks great) Adaddin Magic Carpets Jungle Cruise (DD9 loves this ride) Haunted Mansion Goofy's Barnstormer (another of DD9's favorites) Space Mountain (one of DD6's favorites) It was great, little or no waits on everything! We ended up leaving the park early (around 2:00) and going back to the hotel; went in the pool for a while. Then we went back to Magic Kingdom, went on a couple more rides, then headed to the Grand Floridian for dinner at 1900 Park Fare. This is a beautiful hotel (a little too "classy" for me though - I would feel out of place staying here). The dinner was good, DD got a birthday cupcake. The characters were good - Fairy Godmother, Cinderella, Prince Charming, and the mice Suzy and Perla. Also, when we were in the candy store on Main Stree today, one of the CMs saw my DD's birthday button and had everyone in the store sing Happy Birthday to her. And the CM gave my DD a pin off of her lanyard. DD had a wonderful birthday, she got lots of attention. In fact, DD6 got very jealous of all the attention and told me later that night that she wanted to go home. She changed her mind pretty quickly though - we explained that her sister wouldn't get more attention than her tomorrow since her birthday would be over. When we got back to our hotel, we noticed that the maid had arranged DDs stuffed animals in the window of our room - it looked like they were all waiting for us to get back, it was really cute. And when we went into DDs room we found a towel animal!!!! To be continued . . . |

Sounds like you had a great time. When did you go? We were there at the end of Aug. The early hours for the kids was great, just how you described. We went to Sci-Fi to but we commented on how much brighter it was in there from last time we went. Even my mom who went with us said she could even read the menu this time.
Great job on you first report. On with the show....

Day 3 - 9/16/06: Animal Kingdom today. A lot of people consider this a half day park, but my family really likes going here.
We got there just as they park was opening. There was a cute little motorized palm tree that was "talking" to the people waiting in line - it was pretty funny. I wanted to stay and watch it for a while, but my DDs were eager to get into thepark. We headed for the safari ride first. We were hoping to see more animals by going on this first thing in the morning. We did see quite a few animals, but not as many as I was hoping for. We did see both lions (not very close though) and saw the cheetah for the first time. Next was Asia. We did the jungle trek - DD9 loves the tigers, and then we all went on Kali River Rapids. We got pretty wet, but since it was hot and humid this was okay with us. In fact DDs and I rode it twice - DH wimped out after the first ride. Then we went over to see It's Tough to be a Bug. This was the first time my DDs had seen a 3D movie, so it was a little startling for them, but they liked it. This is a fun show - I liked the end where they ask the real bugs to leave the theater first and it feels like they're crawlng under your seat. Had lunch at Tusker House next. This was probably our best counter service of the week - DH really likes the salmon here. After lunch we headed over to the bird show. DDs like all animals and DH likes birds, so they all enjoyed this show. I thought it was very good also - teaches you some things about birds but is very entertaining also. Both DDs love dinosaurs, so Dinoland was next. We only went on a couple of rides here - DDs and I went on the triceratops spin (just like Dumbo but with dinosaurs instead of elephants), Dinosaur (just DD6 and I went on this one). And we let DDs play in the boneyard for a little bit while we relaxed. I like dinosaurs, but this isn't my favorite part of the park - I hate the carnival games part of it; it just doesn't seem right to me, I expect a lot more from Disney. Then finally we headed over to Expedition Everest! Me, DH, and DD6 rode it (DD9 is a big chicken, couldn't talk her into going on it). We loved it! I really liked when the train starting going backwards. DH wimped out after the first ride, but DD6 and I went on it again. The lines for this ride were very short too, only had to wait a couple of minutes. After riding Everest we decided to do the safari ride one more time. We actually saw more animals (and closer to the vehicle) in the afternoon than we did in the morning. Since we had an ADR at Narcossees tonight, we left the park a little early and headed back to the hotel to change for dinner. I was looking forward to this dinner - a relaxing dinner at a nice restaurant without the kids. After cleaning up and changing, we took the bus over to MK and then took the monorail over to the Grand Floridian. This is a beautiful hotel. I wouldn't want to stay there though - way to fancy for me, I would feel out of place. We dropped the kids off at the Mouseketeer Club. It's a small kids club but had lots of toys, games, videos, etc for the kids; the girls enjoyed it. When we got to Narcossees for our 6:25 ADR we were seated right away. We didn't get a window seat - we would have had to wait 25-30 minutes for one - but we were near the window and had a nice view. I have a more detailed dining review on the restaurant board, but overall I was a little disappointed with this dinner. The restaurant was very nice, and it was quiet, only a few kids were there. The food was good, but I liked Le Cellier better. I think my expectations were high since this was a 2 credit meal. Day 5 - 9/17/06: Since MK had evening EMH today, that's where we headed. We skipped most of fantasy land and did rides like Splash Mountain, BTMRR, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates. It was a little more crowded today but still just short waits. Had lunch at Pecos Bills again today, went on a few more rides, then headed back to Pop for a swim and a nap. Usually we don't take afternoon breaks, but it seemed to work well this trip - it was so hot and humid, the kids were worn out by mid afternoon. After our rest, we headed back to MK, did a few more rides, then took the monorail over to the Contemporary for our ADR at Chef Mickeys. We were seated on time, and actually had the same waiter we had last year! He was excellent - great service, refilled our drinks before we even asked, cleared our dirty plates immediately, and made sure all the characters stopped by our table. The food was good, and the characters were wonderful. They all stopped by our table at least twice; during the birthday song Chip (or was it Dale?) was dancing with DD9. After dinner we headed back to MK to see Wishes. Even through we got there just as the fireworks were starting, we were able to get a good viewing spot right in front of the train station. After wishes we went to see Mickey's Philharmagic. I really enjoyed this show, definitely worth seeing. We went on a few more rides (Splash Mountain and BTMRR again) then headed for the exit. As we were going through Adventureland I realized that I hadn't tried a Dole Whip yet! So of course we had to stop and get one. A lot of other people had the same idea, this was the only restaurant or snack place that had a line. It was delicious! Then we headed for the bus. There was a very, very, very, very long line for the Pop bus (did I mention there was long line?). It started at stop 18 (the farthest one away from the entrance to MK) and went all the way past all the other bus stops. Luckily, because they put the wheelchairs on first, we were able to get on the second bus. Day 6 - 9/18/06: We let the girls decide where to go today, and they chose Animal Kingdom. We went on all the same rides as last time, skipped It's Tough To Be a Bug this time, and went to see Lion King. DH and DDs thought the show was okay; I really liked it. We had lunch at the Flame Tree BBQ this time; should have gone to Tusker House again, it's much better. After going on Evererest again, we headed back to the buses and took the bus to Wilderness Lodge for our ADR at Whispering Canyon Cafe. We got there too early for dinner, so we looked around the resort. This is a nice place; I would love to stay here - maybe next time. Dinner was fantastic! We had so much fun. Our waitress was wonderful - she led the kids around the restaurant for the pony races. Then she told everyone else in the restaurant that my DH had volunteered to watch all their kids that night so they could have a night out to themselves. My DD9 asked for a purple crayon, and we had about 30 crayons brought to our table. I had the meatloaf and couldn't finish it, so I gave some to my DH, who then asked for ketchup - big mistake. We ended out with about 10 bottles. Of course, we got to bring them all to the next table that asked for ketchup. We had a great time - I highly recommend this place; we will definitely go here again. Day 7 - 9/19/06: Our last day. Our flight was not until 8:15 pm and we didn't have to be back for the Magical Express bus until 5:15 pm, so we had a whole day left. After having some Mickey waffles at the food court, we decided to go to Epcot. Originally we had planned on going to MGM on our last day, but there just wasn't much there we wanted to see. We did Turtle Talk again (DD9 got picked to ask Crush as question) and Soarin. Then we found out that Living with the Land was open today, so we had to do this one - it's one of DD9's favorites. They have updated it; a recorded narration instead of a real person on your boat; but we still enjoyed it, it didn't seem much different to me. We skipped the countries this time and just stayed in Future World. We all went on the "less intense" version of Mission Space, DDs liked it. DD6 and I went on Test Track again, then we all went on Ellen's Energy Adventure again. We got on the bus back to Pop just before it started raining. I walked around the resort and took a lot of pictures, DH and DDs played some games in the arcade, we just our last 3 snake credits for some ice cream, then it was time to leave. Some random thoughts . . . . Loved going this time of year - the parks were empty! Expedition Everest was great! I was amazed by what you can get for a snack credit at Pop - boxes of donuts, big bags of chips, etc. Dole Whips are great!!! Loved Fantasmic - a definite Must See. Le Cellier had the best food by far, and Whispering Canyon was the most fun. Turtle Talk with Crush is amazing and very funny. I like the updated Pirates; DH thought they should have left it alone. The Pirate Tutorial was good; the actor looked just like Captain Jack/Johnny Depp - didn't should just like him though. FREE DINING IS AWESOME!! Unfortnately, it will probably be a few years before we are able to go back to WDW. I liked Pop (it wasn't much different from All Star Movies, where we stayed last year) but I would like to try a moderate or even Wilderness Lodge next time; and DH thinks we should stay 10 days next time! |

Leaping the Uncanny Valley
Re:It's very close. (421 comments)
The uncanny valley is most certainly is involved. It is caused by a great multitude of factors, and a very important single factor that I can point you to is subsurface scattering, which is performed on the mesh. Without this, you have no hope of breaking out of the uncanny valley. Humans simply cannot be fooled when it comes to such detail, unless they have bad vision.
CGI Emily doing something the real Emily did not do is not the point here. Motion capture is about getting past the barrier of having to model a fully realistic muscular and skeletal system, so in that particular area the uncanny valley in the sense of movement and articulation is solved. The kind of advancement that you are referring to accomplish this will not come until a muscular system and skeletal structure are fully modeled. Oh, and you can't forget about skin either.. quite complex.

My friend Michelle, a 29-year-old recovering alcoholic, tells guys she dates that she's a "reformed party girl" or an "ex-bad girl." She doesn't explain further, and they usually don't ask. If they do, she just says "long story" and changes the subject.
Kelly tells dates that she's "allergic to alcohol" (an idea that's common among recovering alcoholics, because drinking makes them sick). Remember, it's just a date—you have the right to reveal personal details about yourself as slowly as you want.
Relax, Already
For me, the hardest part of dating sans drinking is the lack of lubrication to calm my nerves. It sounds corny, but taking some long, deep breaths before a date both centers you and settles the ever-spinning "what if?" thought loop. Inhale the essence of serenity, confidence and sex appeal; exhale the anxiety.London Sex Fair Gets Crazy
Flirt Alert
It's harder to feel uninhibited when you're not tipsy, so get used to the idea of subtle, grade-school style flirting techniques, like frequently patting your prey on the knee or arm, maintaining steady eye contact, and smiling and laughing at his or her better jokes.
You might feel too shy to bust a move without the help of vodka's loosening properties, but if you let your interest and intentions be known subtly, your date should get the hint.
If the chemistry is kicking and you feel like you'll explode if s/he doesn't touch you, take the initiative and invite Boytoy upstairs for tea or hot cocoa at the end of the date. Remember, "come upstairs" is pretty clear in any language—drunk or not.
The Other Side Of The Table
What if you're not a recovering alcoholic, but you're dating someone who is? Generally speaking, sober folks want support and encouragement. You don't have to abstain from drinking all the time, but refraining from imbibing around them is always appreciated. "I try to date women who don't find it weird that I'm sober," says Craig, who's been clean for three years. "The worst thing a woman can do is get wasted around me, or try to push me to have some. I need someone who really supports my recovery." Could You Live and Work Together?
Jeannette, a sober alcoholic who hasn't has a drink in 10 months, agrees. "I don't necessarily feel tempted if I'm someplace where people are drinking, but it's just not that fun to be around a guy who's throwing them back.
Don't question your date's decision not to drink. Respect her sobriety, don't push her, and—if you want to make a really good impression—don't drink in her presence. If, heaven forbid, your partner relapses, the best thing to do is give her time and space to get her proverbial sh*t together. Don't disappear on her—your support is necessary in times like these—but give her leeway to work through her feelings.
Readers, share your stories and advice about dating and alcohol in the comments.

Sorry guys, I should have been more specific. Budget in the 1,000-1100 range. Looking primarily for a SHTF/SD/battle rifle (therefore the chrome) but want reasonable accuracy. Don't need the accuracy of a pure match rifle, but want good combat accuracy. Right now, I'm leaning toward the Colt. But I want to spend some more time re-reading your responses, and studying. Thank you all very much, BTW!

Buy 1 first.. then if u are infected with AR uncured disease, then start building. As i believe majority users here have more than 1 AR15.
For you intended us and purpose, I don't think you can go wrong with a BCM DD or Colt. Right out of the box. Nothing fancy needed. Headshots with m193 at 200 yards if you do your part. M855 is a little dicey, its not as consistent! Add a sling, mags and ammo and you are good to go. You may find that with a non free floated handguard your POI may shift using a rest or sling. But a Free Floated guard/rail can always be added later should you desire.
rra or bcm. rra barrels are extremely accurate even the chromed ones are from wilson. rra makes their parts and guns to tighter than milspec tolerances but some of their parts souring is unknown so while they are dimensionally correct no one knows the material specs. this makes them very accurate a half step behind in accuracy are the milspec colts and bcm. everyone else is after that. if you want a colt but not the colt price but a much wider selection of options than colt offers bcm is it. the ONLY reason i didnt go colt is the dont offer a midlength light weight chrome lined upper

I would own a Colt if they offered a mid length.
S&W. M&P 15, with an EOTech XPS, or an Aimpoint T1. I went with a C-more ATAC, but there are long term concerns I have with my use of the rifle.
I think I've decided on Colt.Research really threw a monkey wrench into my planning process. I had planned on spending $1000 to $1100 on a new rifle. Unfortunately, the one I finally settled on is a little north of $2000. I guess I'll have to postpone buying it for a while until I can gather the shekels.But what a Rifle! The Colt LE 901-16s. Comes standard in 7.62X51 NATO, with free floated barrel, flip up BUIS and other goodies. But ]most important, it will accept any Colt 5.56X45 upper. One lower, and uppers in both calibers! Even if I have to wait until next year to get it, I think it will be worth waiting for.
Budget is the first thing you need to talk about, and to those that say bolt action is the most accurate, it is true that bolt actions are very accurate rifles. However, a lot of military and police sharpshooters are starting to switch to the AR platform. Most notably the Knight's Armament M110 or SR-25. These are very accurate and extremely reliable. I have personally seen both of these hit at 1,000 consistently. If you want to build then you need to know what you are willing to spend. You can get a cheap gun that is good for without building or you can build a cheap gun that is good. You could also spend the money and get an excellent rifle, but you will pay for it. Good luck and I will be happy to discuss more on the subject.
I assure which route you go.. build or buy, definitely there will be another AR.

Today's recipe is our last hurrah to the "Veganuary" challenge.
Mark Hunter is being diplomatic.
"I think it's a 50-50 matchup," said the London Knights general manager of his club's upcoming western conference semifinal clash with the Kitchener Rangers. "It could go one way or the other."
It could, though a Rangers win in the best-of-seven series would be considered a major upset. Beating the OHL's top team in one game is certainly doable. Taking out the Knights four times? That may be asking a lot.
"We're underdogs no doubt about it," said Kitchener general manager and head coach Steve Spott. "They're the defending champs."
The Knights also boasted the league's best record (50-13-2-3), went undefeated in 24 consecutive games and swept their opening round opponent the Saginaw Spirit.
Underdogs might be an understatement.
But, as the saying goes, this is why you play the games. And so, the Rangers will try to shock the league by knocking off the OHL's No 1. seed beginning Friday at the Bud Gardens in London.
There is reason to believe.
Leftovers from last year's Rangers' squad are still quietly burning after being swept by London in last season's conference final. So, there is motivation and playoff experience on East Avenue. Added depth, thanks to a few key trades, also gives Kitchener more punch this time around.
Discipline is the key, according to Spott.
"Their speed and skill is tremendous," he said. "We're going to have to be smart and make sure we play a team game."
Timely goals will help too. Capitalizing on the power play and adding insurance goals helped the Rangers take out the Guelph Storm in five games in their west quarter-final.
And then, of course, there is goalie John Gibson, who is showing shades of the netminder who led the U.S. to world junior gold this past January.
"London has so many weapons," said Spott. "We definitely respect their skill set but we feel that we have good depth and the best goaltender in the world."
And he'll need to be on point if the Rangers are going to knock out the Knights.
OFFENCE: Scoring has been Kitchener's biggest weakness the entire season. The talent — Josh Leivo, Matt Puempel, Tobias Rieder and Radek Faksa — is there up front. It's just a matter of putting it together on a consistent basis. Rieder's four-point effort in the final game of the quarter-final is hopeful. So too is the team's resurgent power play. But London is stacked from top to bottom and was the second highest scoring team this season. Kitchener has averaged three goals per game in the playoffs while the Knights are scoring about five per match. And Seth Griffith and the Rupert brothers have yet to get going offensively.
Edge: London
DEFENCE: Kitchener mainly used a four-man rotation — Ryan Murphy, Ben Fanelli, Frank Corrado and Evan McEneny — while even strength in the first round. But the team's final pairing of Max Iafrate and Jared Gilbert is more than capable of taking on extra minutes. London doesn't have an elite puck moving defenceman like Murphy, but boasts an underrated back end led by import Olli Maatta and big man Nikita Zadorov. Captain Scott Harrington has been out with a shoulder injury since Feb. 24 but recently returned to practice and is expected back for the semis. Toss in Dakota Mermis, Justin Sefton and Tommy Hughes and that's a pretty scary six-pack.
GOALTENDING: It's closer than you think. London goalie Anthony Stolarz is 17-3-1-1 since leaving the University of Nebraska-Omaha for the Knights in early January. His 1.57 goals against average is actually lower than John Gibson's 1.61 playoff mark. But when it comes to big game goalies, Gibson stands alone. The Kitchener netminder has made almost twice as many saves in the post-season and single-handedly stole at least two games against Guelph in the quarter-finals.
Edge: Kitchener
SPECIAL TEAMS: The Rangers resurrected their struggling power play against the Storm and cashed in seven times in 30 tries with the man advantage. Kitchener's penalty kill has been outstanding and allowed just two goals in 28 short-handed situations in the quarter-finals. It's a different story with the Knights, so far in the post-season. The team's power play is 3-for-26, good for fifth worst in the league while its penalty kill is in the middle of the pack. But it's a small sample size — just four games — so don't read too much into the numbers. The Knights owned the third best power play in the regular season operating at a 25.1 per cent clip.
PREDICTION: I learned my lesson last year when I went with the Rangers over London in seven games only to watch the Knights sweep Kitchener on their way to the Memorial Cup final. While Gibson has the ability to make things interesting, I'm taking London in six.

UK retailer GAME is to begin selling downloadable Xbox Live games in store, via cards which hold a redeemable digital code.
The chain says that the move will bring digital games to millions of new customers, and "particularly to those who have no access to credit cards".
Sounds ideal for one little pup who's been in the news this week.
Microsoft has endorsed the initiative, which will begin in stores this week. Over 30 downloadable games and extras will be sold in over 40 GAME stores as part of a six month trial - and can be obtained with payment or via trade-in.
GAME promises that "more titles and stores will be added as the trial progresses and customers give their feedback". Prices in the range begin at just £2.04.
Tricia Brennan, group commercial strategy director from GAME explained: "We know that lots of customers want to play downloadable games and they look to us, as expert retailers, for advice on the best way to do it.
"We've listened to them and worked with Microsoft to provide the answers. From today it will be much easier to buy downloadable games as they will be able to buy digital games in cash for under a fiver.
Neil Thompson, general manager, Microsoft Retail Sales & Marketing, UK & Ireland adds: "We're excited to offer this program to UK consumers as we see this as an innovative opportunity to work with GAME in delivering Xbox 360 owners yet another highly attractive choice at retail."
All titles will display a clear age rating, which GAME says will be rigidly enforced when sold.

This is one of the Winklevoss twins (and some friends)You've read the news everywhere: Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are suing Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg again.
The basic allegation remains the same. They say Zuckerberg unfairly cut them out of an ownership stake in Facebook. (Back story here.)
Now, in an ironic turn, we've learned that there's another player in this drama who alleges that the Winklevoss brothers did a very similar thing to him.
His name is Wayne Chang.
In a suit filed late last year, Chang says the Winklevoss brothers merged their company, ConnectU, with Chang's Web development business to create a new company, The Winklevoss Chang Group (WCG).
Chang's complaint says that though the Winklevosses "expressly agreed that the litigation between ConnectU and Facebook was an asset of ConnectU and an asset of WCG," he never got any of the millions of dollars the Winklevoss brothers got when the sold ConnectU to Facebook as part of their settlement with Mark Zuckerberg.
Delightfully, Chang's complaint even includes an instant messenger conversation between him and Cameron Winklevoss.
Did the Winklevosses unfairly cut someone out of their Facebook settlement?

Giving Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in supporting the Panther Marching Band. The following is information about the many different gift types available at Eastern Illinois University. For more information regarding making a gift to the band program, please contact email@example.com.
Gifts of Cash and Securities
Outright gifts of cash can be directed for immediate benefit to the Band program and are tax deductible. Securities, likewise, hold possible tax deductions. Wire transfers are made to the Eastern Illinois University Foundation and negotiated at the time of receipt. Proceeds are then deposited to the designated programs or educational purpose that the donor has identified. Cash donation can be made via online (click here), by credit card (call the Foundation office at ___________) or by check made payable to the Eastern Illinois University Foundation, Inc. and mailed to ___________.
Endowment funds provide a perpetual stream of income to support the Band program priorities and serve to help fulfill the program's mission. Donors may establish a named endowment for scholarship for students, fellowship for graduate support or program support. A minimum gift of $20,000 can establish an endowed fund.
Life Income Plans
Determine your potential benefits through the creation of a charitable remainder trust or a charitable gift annuity. Life income plans allow you to make a substantial gift to the Band Program and at the same time retain a benefit from the assets you give. Furthermore, tax benefits, increased gifting potential and stream of income during your lifetime are features of these gifting opportunities. Charitable lead trusts and donor advised funds are also potentially beneficial ways to create income for the Band Program and preserve assets for you and your heirs. Your financial advisor will know which of these vehicles may be appropriate for you.
Tangible Property
Gifts of real estate are welcomed. The Eastern Illinois University Foundation has experienced real estate and other professional staff to assist you if you are considering gifts of real estate. Our procedures (both trust & non trust) for accepting real estate gifts are simple, and our comprehensive real estate policy provides assurance that gifts will be handled professionally to achieve the charitable goals envisioned by the donor. Although most gifts are given outright, many also fund charitable remainder trusts (CRT) that pay income to the donor or other beneficiaries designated by the donor.
Life Insurance Policies
Make the Panther Marching Band a beneficiary of an insurance policy. If there is no longer a need to provide for dependents, this form of planned gift offers a simple way to support the Band Program. Discussion with the development office and the Eastern Illinois University Foundation Office of Planned Giving can provide you with information for your financial advisors in determining the benefits of such a gift.
Document your gift intentions to the Band Program in your will through your estate planning professionals. Your bequest expresses your lasting commitment to the Band Program and contributes to growth and ongoing success of the program. A bequest can have potential benefits to meet your estate-planning goals. The development office would be pleased to discuss your interests. Documenting your bequest intent with the Eastern Illinois University Foundation to benefit the Band program can qualify you for the University's Bequest Society with related benefits during your lifetime.

I may have to get rid of my compost pile of 6 years. For some reason I have had four gopher snakes caught in bird netting over the last 24 hours.(Blew off a nearby fig tree). They were all within 4 feet of the compost heap. I am not comfortable with snakes in close proximity, but would never kill them. I also have no desire to attract them; thus my dillema. I guess they've been around all along, but I have mananged to accidently trap four in the last day. Animal control came and freed them, and took them away for release by the way).I've removed the netting, but now have to deal with the realization that I am attracting snakes ( as well as foxes, bats, cayotes, hawks...)Perhaps I need to tend it better to avoid rodents ( which I have not seen but I assume there are voles and gophers near by; I live on the very edge of town, bordered by an oak grove and an abondoned orchard).I've been told they might be looking for lizards which I really treasure and don't want to discourage. Is it impractical then, to expect compost without attracting snakes ( even if they can't get in the pile)? (I also posted this on the compost forum but regions seem to differ in their perspective). |
Here is a link that might be useful: visitors
Follow-Up Postings:
I have doubts that the compost pile is attracting snakes, unless it is attracting rodents. Rodents would attract snakes, not compost. Gopher snakes, while like most wild creatures, can be an opportunistic feeder, would prefer to prey upon rodents. You are more likely to see them now while in breeding mode ( getting a late start this year because of the cool temps and wet weather) and their activity level should cease as summer sets in. While they can be scary, they are harmless and if you have rodents, a beneficial critter to have around. Bats eat tons of insects, are active at night, and not particularly a problem. Your compost pile would only attract them if your compost pile attracted lots of flying insects, active at night. Foxes, another nocturnal creature, are scavengers and would be attracted to your compost pile if your compost pile was more of a "garbage" pile. Hawks would only be attracted if there were rodents, so again, a beneficial creature, and not one of concern. If there is an abandoned orchard nearby with fruit bearing trees, I would suspect that the fruit is attracting the rodents and thereby the other predatory animals and that is the culprit, NOT your compost pile. wanda |
I don't have a compost pile (yet!), and I had a visit from a 6 ft. gopher snake last year. If he hadn't been right outside my front door, and hissing loud enough to hear through the door and over the sound of air cooler, I wouldn't have had a problem with him. Personal accounts of the aggressiveness of these snakes (mainly during mating season) was enough to get me on the phone with a nice, older neighbor, who subsequently rescued me from my own home. :D They're not poisonous, of course, but they CAN bite if they feel threatened. I guess my visitor felt I was encroaching on his territory. Sheesh! Can't we all just get along? :) I had to take this pic from around the corner, and I was shaking so much, I'm surprised it even turned out. Brenda |
I do not understand what it is about snakes that frightens people. I live in the woods with lots of wild life and am never surprised what shows up. My compost pile attracks salamanders which brings snakes who feed on them. We have lots of rats and voles which brings us owls and hawks. Nature has a way of keeping in balance unless we upset it. Al |
Send the snakes to me, I need gopher control. Penny |
If you're near Fresno I'll take the Gopher and King snakes. You let Animal Control take away your best rodent killers. |
Wanda; Yeah, I figured it was the rodents and lizards (that are attracted to the bugs) attracted to the pile that attracted the snakes (not the pile itself); I remember them discing the orchard a week or so ago, so that might have sent the snakes this way as well.I don't believe the trees bear fruit. I mention the bats (they return annually to my front stoop' about ten this year), hawks, foxes,etc. to say it's fairly rural around here, not that they were attracted to the pile. I value my bats, but they are pretty messy, and even though I sweep it up most mornings and put it on my garden, when I don't sweep, and have visitors, I DO wonder what they think. They ARE rodent droppings! Anyway, no snakes today, and my husband is supporting continuing so I will. I use it primarily for my guinea pig litter, and for fruit and veggies I'm not going to eat (I have a community supported agriculture subscription), and would consider putting this in my green bin, and reserving the pile for yardwaste if that was a compromise. |
Westelle, I would have let them go wherever they go, but they were miserably trapped in the bird netting.:( |
One year I had gophers take up housekeeping and baby raising in my compost pile. They tunneled out and it took me forever to bring them under control. I was ready to buy a snake! Penny |
Aren't the black with yellow stripes a garter snake? I saw one on the retaining wall the other evening, and thought it was too small to eat any of the mice and other rodents that are attracted to my compost pile. But could they also be eating all the little frogs we are enjoying right now? Millions of the little frogs every where. |
Yes, tracy, if the stripes run vertically down the snake's body, then it's probably a garter snake. They'll eat fish, salamanders, frogs and small rodents. If they are bands that circle it's body horizontally, then it's most likely a kingsnake, non-venomous, who's favorite prey is other snakes, including rattlesnakes (our only venomous snake), but they will also eat rodents and lizards. wanda |

This Spring I caught four baby rattlesnakes in the yard, last year it was two, the year before three. I have two large, curious dogs. There are also ground squirrels and rats and field mice all around. I ALWAYS encourage a good Gopher snake or King snake or Rat snake to stay. -Ron- |
I'd love to have those snakes, too. Maybe it would also help control the neighbor's little dog that keeps pooping in my yard! ;) |
I guess I'll just hope they are coming and going without me seeing them! |

Church of England considering women bishops
Church of England leaders have opened a five-day meeting Friday that will discuss whether women can become bishops.
Bob Child/AP
The Church of England's governing body opened a five-day meeting Friday dominated by debate over the roles of women bishops.
The church has scheduled 15 hours of discussion during the meeting in York on a subject that has angered traditional Anglicans who believe that allowing women to be bishops is contrary to the Bible. They want a structure that guarantees they will be supervised by male bishops and led by male priests who were not ordained by a female bishop.
The church began ordaining women to the priesthood in 1994, and the governing General Synod has for the past five years been trying to smooth the way for women to become bishops. Church officials say that it will be 2014 at the earliest before any woman is elevated to bishop.
Advocates for women bishops say they should serve on the same basis as men do now, without restrictions on their authority.
"When will the Church of England accept that to set up structures that implicitly infer that some people are less a child of God than others is just poor theology and a stumbling block to our proclamation of the gospel?" asked the Rev. Lindsay Southern, a member of the National Committee of Women and The Church, in a June 22 letter to archbishops.
But, opponents of women bishops say they were assured that their points of view would be protected when the church voted in 1992 to allow women to become priests.
"It seems to us a matter of simple integrity that Synod should now keep its word to us in this and not force us down a road none of us wish to tread," the Rev. Rod Thomas, chairman of the evangelical group Reform, said in a letter to bishops in May.

Rating: 5/5NICE!!!!This review is from: Invicta Men's Automatic Pro Diver Pros: It's a beautiful watch.I was skeptical at first with buying an Invicta due to so many negative responses on every website I have been to.But it works great right out of the box.This particular watch goes for upwards of 170 in jewelry stores.Caught it here for under 70.You have to love Newegg.Going to buy the 2826 model next. Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: I have 18 watches and every one is either a mechanical,kinetic,eco-drive or solar.New buyers of these watches need to realize if you don't wear them they will not keep time.The energy used to power these watches come from being worn on a daily basis.You are suppose to feel the movement of the motor in The kinectic/mechanical watches.It's what powers the cell in the watch.You never have to wind them or replace the battery.All you have to do is wear the watch.Please stop complaining about stuff you know nothing about and then rate yourself as a 5 in Tech Knowledge.

But it is sometimes more than a failsafe setting. I thought there might be a way to get around and still maintain greater control over the throttle but looks like in datalink mode it is not an option. OK, we have to learn to live with it. |

I managed to upgrade my unit to version 2.0
Well I think I did as the reading still reports 1.11 - I take that as a known bug. The unit needs some time to report correctly what soft it is running. I have windows VISTA. I can not use their GCS. How do I get rid of the way points? If I switch to nav mode I would like the fy31 to maintain heading and altitude. How do I do that. Presently if I switch to nav the plane dives and flies away to honkong I suppose. It would dive in to the ground before getting there though. |

Should I connect throttle to the 31ap?
Ever since my first contact with FY-31AP, I've never connected the throttle to the 31ap and have set my failsafe to about 50%. I've no complains!
I did that because other pilots says so, but I actually never got any proper explanation for not using the throttle connected to FY-31AP and I always wondered why not? Any thoughts? Quote:
Oct 11, 2012, 04:24 PM | |
As far as hooking up the vTX to the Hornet, basically don't have more then one power source coming INTO the Hornet, ALL of it's 12v rails are connected and non-isolated, so if you hooked up a powered vTX to the Hornet which is also powered, you would have 2x12 volts going into it. Let the Hornet OSD give power to the vTX, and keep it disconnected from any other power source. This is how mine is hooked up, infact my Hornet powers my Camera and vTX.
Also as far as throttle goes, if you are using the data radio as your RC control radio as well your throttle will still work as normal as long as you have signal because you are still the one flying it, failsafe on the throttle is for when signal is lost and you have no control. Granted too that some AP functions will control throttle for you such as RTH, but you can configure it all to your liking and what works best for you plane. For the record I do not use the throttle port of the FY31AP either. |

I have installed the GCS 3.0 It openes up but I am getting no map. I am a new user of this all, learning. So far I was able to update the 31AP to version 2.0, installed google earth, but that is all. I thought the map would somehow opened automaticaly once the google earth is installed ant the pc is connected to internet. Thanks |

As you can tell from the title of my thread I got my letter from AG Lynch in RI stating that I have been turned down for a RI permit. I do have some questions for all.
1. Since I have been turned down for a RI permit, will renewing UT, FL, NH, CT or ME have problems with this? (Looking to see if anyone has experienced this)
2. I do have the chance to appeal, anyone with a Non-Resident RI permit, is this a hoop or is it a waste of time?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

I am commandeering a small shallow closet in a room that will become the library and converting it to a bar area with a wine cooler, shelves, lighting, coffee machine, alcohol, stem wear and the fancy coffe cups etc. I have seen several that are mirror backed- it's a great look... but how does one install glass shelves then? Sorry this might be such a stupid question. I need help with the steps so I don't drive my husband crazy with a poor plan. It's wired for light and has outlets but other than that it's just a one shelf closet right now. |
