"To give pleasure to a single heart by a single kind act is better than a thousand head-bowings in prayer."
Um, I suppose we can try Lost lovers. And don't worry about samples, I'm not really too much of a posty nazi.
"The Vision of Christ that thou dost see,
Is my vision's greatest enemy.
Thine is the Friend of all Mankind,
Mine speaks in Parables to the blind.
Thine loves the same world that mine hates,
Thy heaven-doors are my hell gates."
Where should we start?
Um, I only roleplay in the PM's If that's alright. But I suppose if you want to make a short little profile thing, that'd be fine.
Its fine if we do it in Pms.
Is this good or no Bio?
Hmm, Normally I just say Name, Age and Pic, but If you want Bio and Personality, that's fine.

VWL Groupies...yes, we love the Lodge!!
What draws us in? Is it the sounds of crickets chirping, or the western style music playing ever so faint in the background, or the distant sound of a boat horn that comes to take us away to magical lands. Could it be the sights, like the vastness of the lobby as you first step in, or the spotting of early morning wildlife amongst the pines, or the flickering shine of lanterns to light our way at night. Still, maybe its the smells of a woodsy setting, or the aroma of BBQ on a campfire nearby. What draws you in?
Welcome to the VWL groupies! The original thread grew from a love of the Lodge, but it has become so much more than that. We all have a passion for the Lodge. Many of us own points there, several of us don't. And it doesn't matter. Our band of groupies has expanded in to much more than just Lodge talk. We try to stay on subject, but we have become so much more than just Lodge lovers, we have become friends. We are there for each other, an uplifting group. So join us! You will be welcomed with open arms. Qoutes from fellow groupies: You know you can always pull up a rocker and be at "the Lodge" blossomz It is a matter of your heart, once a Groupie, always a Groupie!

WOW! Here we go again! This is kind of like getting a villa that has just been refurb'd! Smells good, looks good, but has the same old friends as always!
THANKS to Jimmy and Twokats for stepping up to the plate to nurture us and taking care of the details we all appreciate. See you all at The Lodge! |
My family LOVES VWL.. I didn't know y'all had a groupie thread. :hippie:
My parents have DVC here. My DH and I are taking our niece (7) and nephew (9) in June and we are staying in a studio. I'm super excited. I think I just may start following this thread! :cool1: :surfweb: |
Thanks to jimmytammy and twokats for continuing this thread!
32 days to go until we walk into Jambo House, my second home away from home. VWL will always be numero uno. But we have a 5-year-old granddaughter in tow, her Mom will be working, so it will be fun if not hectic. Here's the lineup of who is going with us. Me, DW, DS, DGD Two friends (married of course) My cousin and her husband and maybe their daughter (if she can get off of work) I should know definitely later today. So the total will either be 8 or 9 in the GV. It should be fun, fun, fun! |
Please do join us and as Muushka would say, grab a Moosie for your signature. He would look grand on you!!! |
I'm back
Honey I'm home !! been away for way to long DH and I just planned our 10th Anniversay at our beloved VWL:love: Dec 9-15 :hug: since this is where we Disneymooned 10 years ago, it should be tradition !!.. cannot wait to go back home :santa: for the holidays. Good to see you all again :grouphug:

Jimmy, I love what you wrote, beautiful. Thank you for keeping track of our vacations! Kathy, once again, thank you for stepping up to the plate with the birthdays. Did you want to be PM'd for birthdays or anniversaries? Can't remember.:goodvibes Quote:

We'll be home again Sept 22-26th in a 2 bedroom with some friends of ours and their boys. Then we'll be moving on over to the BC.
I hope (and I know Jimmy does too) that y'all enjoy this new thread just like we have enjoyed the previous ones! :thumbsup2 |

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' Passed 'Guardians of the Galaxy' to Become the Biggest Movie of 2014
Sorry, Star-Lord. Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was just passed by 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' as the highest grossing film of 2014. And, making that feat all the more impressive: 'Mockingjay' reached that mark in just 62 days, without the help of 3D or IMAX.
The Worst Oscar-Nominated Movies of All Time
Every year, when the Oscar nominations are announced, a considerable amount of time is spent debating who was snubbed. But for every film that was expecting to get nominated and didn't, there's a film that no one was expecting to get nominated and did. This is the story of those films. The movies you'll look back on and wonder exactly how the heck it ever got nominated for an Oscar.
Dan Aykroyd Wants 'Ghostbusters' to Be Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe became a huge success, there were immediate imitators trying to follow that same model. From the 'Justice League' films to 'Amazing Spider-Man' and, heck, even the upcoming 'Star Wars' movies. It all seemed a bit much, to be honest. But, this latest news might take the cake (or donut?) when it comes to biting style. Dan Aykroyd, the only one involved with the original 'Ghostbusters' who seems to want to have anything to do with the new 'Ghostbusters' says he wants to relaunch the franchise following the Marvel "shared universe" strategy.
Megan Fox to 'Ninja Turtles' Haters: "F— Off"
The internet has not been kind to the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reboot. This shouldn't be surprising to you, because a) you are on the internet, and b) you have seen the footage from the 'Ninja Turtles' reboot. (True story: during a recent 'Guardians of the Galaxy' screening in New York City, the crowd loudly booed the 'Ninja Turtles' trailer.) But, star Megan Fox has a word for all of those haters. Two words, actually.

Has the 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Title Been Revealed?
The 'Star Wars: Episode 7' casting hasn't even been completed, with roles both major and supporting still left to be announced, so it seems a bit premature to already have the new 'Star Wars' title, but has it leaked online in advance of an official announcement?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville Bats found themselves in an 8-0 hole before they could get out of the second inning as they ultimately lost to the Durham Bulls by a score of 12-2 on Father's Day at Louisville Slugger Field.
Right-handed pitcher Brett Marshall (0-2, 16.20) suffered the loss after pitching only one and one-third innings. He allowed seven runs on three hits with five walks and one hit batsman. In three rehab starts with Louisville, Marshall has now walked 13 batters in five innings pitched.
All-in-all, four Louisville pitchers combined to walk 10 Durham batters, matching a season high set twice on April 28 at Buffalo and June 6 at Lehigh Valley.
Opposite Marshall, Durham right-hander Alex Colome (3-0, 0.68), the Tampa Bay Rays' fifth-rated prospect according to Baseball America, earned his third consecutive win. He pitched six innings and allowed one run on seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Colome's lone run came on third baseman Chris Nelson's solo home run in the fourth inning.
First baseman Thomas Neal followed Nelson's long ball with one of his own in the eighth. The two home runs were the first surrendered by a Durham pitcher in eight games.
Offensively, Louisville was led by catcher Tucker Barnhart's 4-for-4 night. It was the third time a Louisville batter recorded four hits in the same game this season and the first time Barnhart had done so since he recorded five hits on June 21, 2012 with Bakersfield.
Third baseman and former Louisville Bat Ray Olmedo, who went 2-for-5 with three runs batted in on the night, led the Bulls offensively. Olmedo is now 7-for-14 in four games played against his former team this season. Additionally, first baseman Vince Belnome went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and one run batted in. Belnome is 9-for-20 in five games against Louisville this season.
Sunday's loss was the first time Louisville surrendered double-digit runs since losing 19-3 in game one of a double header on May 31 at Columbus.
Louisville (35-36) and Durham (43-29) will meet for the second of four games tomorrow at 7:05 p.m. Left-hander David Holmberg (0-4, 9.41) will make the start for Louisville and face fellow left-hander Enny Romero (3-7, 5.71).

Inventor Demonstrates Infinitely Variable Transmission
Hydrostatics... (609 comments)
Several tractors I have owned have hydrostatic transmissions. These are also infinitely variable, but they use a hydraulic pump and motor to achieve it. They provide very high torque and excellent power transmission. I always wondered why they were never used in cars.

Under lamps as tall as trees
And loud or laughing conversations buzzing like bees,
There lies an old grey street.
Many a car and pedestrian
Has its cracked sidewalks and faded line-paint seen,
And policemen, gazes keen.
Small children playing ball
As mothers yell warnings, using full names and all,
Summer sun, bright and hot.
But not just as a playground
Has its purpose served, but also drug-dealer spots
And beds for bums, minus cots.
The people wear old eyes,
Jaded, faded, and worn with time's desperate cries,
Aged beyond rightful age.
Slow steps walk the street,
Shuffling and dragging like nowhere is worth going,
Ash-grey concrete-wandering
Dull sky and lifeless world;
Even the yellow paint is cheerless, even if it's curled
In its sharp, winding turns.
Hope is scarce, love more so
And kindness is a thing forgotten in the distant past,
Hiding from people harassed.
These are the grey streets
That crisscross our cities, rain coming down in sheets,
Poverty reigning just as heavy.
The fear is hard to grasp
When you're from a background and home like mine,
Where safety is benign.
So many different realms
Can exist in the very same city! The change overwhelms
And awakens us to reality.
Looking into the recent past,
So calloused to and ignorant of life's reality we've become;
We've become so very numb.
What is life really like outside
Our own little personal worlds? What could one little stride
Have changed if it was wrong?
Life's details and how we cope
With what we endure these are what seem to decide our fate,
And if the path we walk will be straight.

Michele Bachmann Should Not 'Get a Pass' on Past Membership in Anti-Catholic Church Comments
During the last election, a question was raised about then candidate Barack Obama concerning his membership in a Church body which espoused Anti-Americanism. Will some of those same people ask this candidate, whom they seem to agree with on issues, about her affiliation with a Church body which espoused overt Anti-Catholicism? Continue Reading

Dear Deacon Fournier - I believe that you have a legitimate concern and I am behind you in determining Ms. Bachman's intentions and in praying that she will understand and truly accept that the Pope is NOT the anti-Christ.
To espouse a belief (by membership) for many years and only just now, in the midst of political positioning, distancing oneself from that belief begs the question. You are right to ask.
Thank you for keeping us informed in this way. -

My understanding of the definition of anti-Catholic is more narrow than just opposition to the Church. Anti-Catholics specifically devote time, energy, and doctrine to opposing Catholicism. Also, unlike simple non-Catholics, they are not open to dialogue. Under this definition, most Protestants would not be anti-Catholic. Most fundamentalists and some Evangelicals would be. I hope Rep. Bachmann makes it clear she is not one of those groups.

Since we only have TWO STINKING PARTIES...the Republicans HAD BETTER come up with someone able to defeat Obama. That's all there is to it. The whole thing right there. Nothing else. SO WHO'S IT GOING TO BE ALREADY!

Sorry, but most Protestants and evangelical churches are rooted in the concept of the Pope as anti-christ, even if they don't teach it any more. But many many of them do,. Even in those that don't, scratch the surface in any given member, and you will find that belief. I don't think someone from Minnesota who belonged to a Lutheran church need to be held accountable for such a belief, because members of Protestant denominations don't feel bound to hold the beliefs of their denominations, even should they know about them...which they often don't. This whole issue is a red herring designed to hurt Bachmann, and she should get a pass.

res IPSA loquitur, Rev. Deacon. Also, I think someone brought up an interesting reply: what about the Founding Fathers' "anti-Catholicism", some more strenuous than others?
3 years ago
How many so-called Catholics serve in Congress? Mrs. "good Catholic" Pelosi is a perfect example. How about the former Kenedy? How about all of the Kenedy family? These "Catholics" are on the wrong side of all socially conservative issues that firm Christians stand for: homosexual acts and abortion to top the list.
I would be overjoyed to find a conservative practising Roman Catholic to run for President. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Let's be honest: Regardless of her association with her Church, her stance on the issues support the official teachings of the Catholic Church, something that is not coming from the present "Catholics" in Congress. Give her a chance to clarify her position. I can guarantee you she won't disappoint you. -

I think this article is overblown...as long as she enspouses christian virtures and morality, and believes in the constitution, why does it matter if she believes the Pope is the anti-christ, if that's even the case...would you not vote for a pious jew or muslim who had the same moral and political views as yourself but of course does not think that Jesus is the son of God, I would vote for such a person.
It's this sort of nip picking of Republican candidates that got us the anti-christ that is currently in the white house. -

I don't know enough about Mr. Green to be critical, but during these political times I exercise caution in judging their motive(s), sometime considering the possibility they are doing nothing more than stirring up the waters of descent or attempting to divide or split away voters from a candidate they themselves consider too conservative.
Just a thought.

Hillary Clinton swings through Brazil, but no progress is made on negotiating Iran sanctions. Lula makes a controversial visit to Cuba. A top Workers Party party official is implicated in a contribution scandal, which may affect the upcoming elections. The school system still needs work. Brazil will raise tariffs on U.S. imports if a trade deal is not made soon. Industrial production is up. A celebrated man of letters dies at 95. And traffic in Sao Paulo moves only slightly faster than the top speed of a chicken, about nine miles per hour.
Top News: Hillary Clinton spent 29 hours in Brazil last week during her first swing through South America as Secretary of State, and met with both President Lula and her counterpart, Minister of Foreign Relations Celso Amorim. But it appears she failed to make progress on her primary goal: convincing Brazil to support sanctions against Iran to pressure the country to stop its nuclear weapons program. Brazil, which currently holds a rotating seat on the United Nations Security Council, has supported continued negotiations with the Iranians; Lula believes sanctions could lead to war. The president's warm relationship with Iranian leadership and his planned visit to Tehran this spring have been controversial, to say the least, but Brazil has strong commercial ties to Iran, and in recent years Lula has been positioning Brazil as an international peacemaker.
Speaking of warm relationships with controversial regimes, Lula made a visit to Havana last week, where he was photographed smiling with Fidel Castro (though not in this shot with Fidel and his brother Raul, the president) just a day after the death by hunger strike of Cuban dissident Orlando Zapata Tamayo. He also called for an end to the U.S. blockade. The mainstream press, much of which, most notably Veja magazine, is perceived to be anti-Lula, had a field day, but Lula continued to defend his lack of criticism of Cuba's policies in interviews since his visit.
Veja also broke a new scandal this week which involves the treasurer of Lula's Workers Party and could affect the election chances of his chosen successor, Dilma Rousseff. Implicated in the scandal is the party's treasurer, Joao Vaccari, who, until recently, directed the real estate cooperative Bancoop. Prosecutors from Sao Paulo's independent Public Ministry believe Bancoop defrauded investors out of millions of dollars and passed at least some of that money to Workers Party campaign coffers during past elections.
A study conducted for the Ministry of Education showed that only a third of almost 300 goals set in 2001 for the Brazilian school system have been met, including failures in key areas like grade repetition, pre-school availability and high school attendance. Folha de Sao Paulo obtained the report. A notable success was the universalization of elementary education, which had long been a thorn in Brazil's side.
Money: Brazil will raise tariffs on 102 items imported from the United States if an agreement is not reached on illegal American subsidies of the domestic cotton industry within the next month. The World Trade Organization had ruled in favor of the Brazilians and permitted the retaliation. The items range from food and personal hygiene products to automobiles. Brazil plans to announce further measures on intellectual property rights, possibly including Hollywood films. U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke is in Brazil this week on a long-planned visit, but so far, no progress has been reported in negotiating a settlement.
Brazilian industrial production reversed its losses from the last two months of 2009 by growing 1.1 percent in January. Despite growth for the first ten months of 2009 and in January, production is still 4.9 percent below pre-crisis levels, although several individual regions have regained pre-crisis levels.
Elsewhere: Jose Mindlin, a well-known bibliophile and intellectual who held Brazil's most important collection of rare books and was a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, died at age 95. His death garnered massive media coverage, somewhat surprising for a country which is generally considered to be more into soap operas than fine literature.
A planned demonstration by university students supporting decriminalization of marijuana use was prohibited by a Sao Paulo court. The protest had been coined "The Oregano March" because students planned to smoke oregano and other substances to simulate pot use. The event occurred anyway, but no oregano-smoking was confirmed.
Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court has approved the release via internet of records detailing any pending criminal cases against candidates in the 2010 elections. Previously, only instances in which candidates had been convicted were required to be released. Many criminal cases in Brazil extend for years of appeals.
Traffic during the infamous afternoon rush hour in Sao Paulo moves at an average of nine miles an hour, down 16 percent from last year. It was noted that that is only slightly faster than the top speed reached by a chicken.

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

Thabang Masango had been doing well as a singer in South Africa. He had won large singing competitions and was part of prominent choral group. In 2008, the choral group toured the United States and made a stop in Charlotte along the way.
But Thabang had dreams beyond choral music. At 16 his music teacher, Mr. Mahau, introduced him to opera.
I was used to singing in chorus but when Mr. Mahau gave me this piece which was long, which had a different language all in all. It was in Italian and it was my first time ever seeing that, Masango says. It felt great because in some instances I could feel free while singing on the stage. It calmed me, it made my mind peaceful. But opera opportunities are rare in South Africa and instruction is expensive, so Thabang continued singing with the choral group.
In 2010 the tour came to Charlotte again and stopped at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church. Deloris Chisley helped organize the tour for the church.
After the 2010 tour we had a conversation with our Senior Minister, Dr. Clifford A. Jones, and said, What if we did more than just have them come here and sing for a month and go back home? Chisley says. What if we selected two of them to come to the U.S. to further their music?
And thats just what they did. Today Friendship Missionary Baptist Church pays for Thabang and another member of the choir tour, Bongani Ndhlalane, to study opera at CPCC.
And theyve excelled. Both have had leads in the schools productions. Most recently, Thabang starred as Albert in the schools production of La Traviata.
But its taken a lot of work to get to this point.
For Thabang and Bongani CPCC is providing them with a basic musical foundation they didnt get in South Africa. There were some subtleties they had to learn, like breathing techniques, but they also lacked some skills that most American music teachers deem essential.
We had to learn to read music without solfege Bongani says.
Its like letters that you put on your music like do-re-me-fa-so, Thabang explains. And when you sing you look at those letters and you know your pitch.
But according to CPCC Opera Director Becky Cook-Carter, learning music by listening has its limits.
When they first came last year they would have little headphones sticking out of their shirt and they were constantly listening, Carter says. But that is not an efficient way of learning and they make a lot of mistakes. And so they dont wear their headphones anymore.
And then there were the challenges that came with transitioning from African music to Western music.
In South Africa, Thabang and Bongani organized their music differently, says CPCC Conductor Alan Yamamoto.
They could not describe to me what scale they use, he says, but they do not use the same scale as we use in western music that has 12 half steps in an octave.
Half steps are the smallest measurement in western music to describe pitch, such as the difference between adjacent white and black keys on a piano.
Our increments are so big and theirs are slightly smaller, Yamamoto says. They could tell me that they have more steps in their octave than we have and thats pretty common around the world, in Asia and in Africa especially, and even South America.
Thabang and Bongani have about a year left in their studies. After that, they plan to go to a four year university in the States.
Until then, Becky Cook Carter says Thabang and Bongani still have some learning to do.
Theyre going to be ready soon though. They are going to be big success stories, I promise.

In the track, Jay refers to Blue as "God's gift" and "the most beautifulest thing in the world." The new dad rapped, "Words can't describe what I'm feeling, for real." He goes on to say "my greatest creation was you." He also writes about Blue's conception in Paris, and alludes to him and wife Beyoncé Knowles having experienced a miscarriage in the past — read the full lyrics below.

There wasn't much follow-through from Tuesday's outsized rally. Bulls were able to mount an afternoon charge from 1% declines in the DJIA and SPX to close basically even on the day. Things weren't so good for the NASDAQ where the index closed 1% lower on Oracle's (ORCL) poor earnings report. In tech land poor earnings and guidance are becoming more common. Meanwhile Yahoo (YHOO) is considering cutting its stake in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan as noted HERE.
There's a tug of war going on over whether the most recent episode from the eurozone marks the beginning of the end of their debt woes or just the opposite. Markets in the eurozone gave the latest bailout news a "thumbs down" while some in the U.S. thought it all bullish. You probably should believe the tape more than the BS. PIMCO's Bill Gross tweeted: "What does LTRO stand for? 1. A shell game; 2. Cash for trash; 3. Three-card "monti"; or 4. All of the above." The basic problem is eurozone countries give money to the IMF which in turn lends it to the ECB who then lend it to eurozone banks. Got it?
Bulls in the U.S. are winning the argument given the season and that's about all one can glean from Wednesday's action. Bank of America (BAC) agreed to settle claims over discriminatory practices by its Countrywide subsidiaries for $335M. This covers 200K claimants or $1,500 each. Strange stuff since the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was supposed to cure this problem. Existing Home Sales were higher but the NAR has made a hash of their data by overstating sales going back as far as 2007. Confidence in any of their data is now low. The euro was a little weaker while the dollar somewhat stronger. Gold was flat, crude oil, grains and base metals were higher. Bonds were weaker once again. The commentary today is shorter Wednesday due to a late start but we'll hit the highlights where we can. Volume was light once again and no doubt will lighten further as the holiday weekend approaches. Breadth per the WSJ was mixed as well.

Not sure if there is a post like this already but I figured there are alot of Microbrewers out there that many may not have heard of. Lazy Magnolia Brewery Kiln Mississippi lazymagnolia.com This is my homestate brew and if you ever get a chance to drink any of their beers I reccommend it. My favorites: Southern Pecan Reb Ale Of course I am sure all of you are familiar with Abita Beer Abita Springs LA I reccommend the Jockamo IPA
Ale Asylum in Madison, WI is a place that would make you hop heads happy. They even have a brew called Hopilisious and it does live up to it.
Jason 'Kornkob' Robinson I wanna move to Theory. Everything works in Theory.
Mountain Sun brewery in Boulder, and their associated brewpubs - Southern Sun in Boulder and Vine Street in Denver. They don't distribute, so if you haven't been here, you probably haven't had 'em. Their Java Porter is amazing, as is their Kind Ale, and their collaboration brew with Avery, Van Damien, a black saison, was amazing. They consistently put out good beer.
New Albanian Brewing Co. New Albany, Indiana newalbanian.com They've just begun distributing in and around New Albany, and across the river in Louisville. Hopefully soon to start canning and widening the distribution. Favorites: [Edit: Hoping they won't mind my posting the graphics here, since this is a "give props" post...] Hoptimus (IIPA) Elector (Imperial Red) Beak's Best ("American Bitter")
Another one people probably haven't heard of, possibly even if they live in Denver/Boulder is Golden City Brewery. Their tagline is "Second Largest Brewery in Golden" - Coors being the first, obviously. The brewery is in a guy's garage, seating/tables in the backyard, last call is 6:30 because its in a residential area. They've gone through some up's and down's with quality over the years, but they're very much at the peak of their brewing right now in my opinion - their Evolution IPA is amazing, as is the Stand Up Double IPA, and their recent small batch Stranahan's (CO whiskey) barrel-aged barleywine. They bottle in addition to their backyard sales, so you can get them in several liquor stores in Denver.
Troegs in Harrisburg PA is awesome, their Dead Reckoning Porter, Mad Elf Ale, and Nugget Nectar are all great great brews. Also like Iron Hill brewpubs around here, there are a few in PA, love the Pig Iron porter they have.
Can I have your business card?
Man, I had a chance to try Nugget Nectar in Columbus earlier in the year, but there were two other IPAs on tap and I got those first and couldn't do three. Wish I'd picked the Troegs first.
