Deep-cleansing facials. Relaxing massages. Feather hair extensions. These are just three of the treatments that await Luxury Pet Spa & Boutique's canine and feline visitors. The spa staff believes that pets deserve the same luxury afforded to their human counterparts, and this is reflected in everything from its hypoallergenic products, to its holistic pet food, to its decor: chocolate-colored walls, cushy armchairs, and the stained wood table Lassie used to write her memoirs. Chandeliers spill light across the treatment rooms, where groomers shampoo fur, trim nails, and cleanse ears. However, these are just the preliminary steps to an animal makeover. The groomers also style fur with the finesse of hairdressers and use airbrushes to paint fur with colorful accents.
The American Dog Club connects dog lovers with puppies looking for a new a home. The organization works strictly with USDA-certified and licensed private breeders, who follow strict regimens for the care and feeding of puppies. Once a pup leaves the breeder and comes into the Dog Club's care, the pet sitters provide an equally intense level of care for each pooch. They feed them doggy milk, baby food, and vitamin-enriched water. They provide them with toys and blankets, and socialize them with other puppies in cage-free play environments. If a puppy lingers with them for too long, they immediately put him or her up for adoption; they like to see their animals land in loving homes, no matter what.
Of course, caring for an animal is a long-term commitment, and they provide services to help out pet owners regardless of their dog's age. They sell a range of specialty toys and foods meant to keep dogs healthy and they groom dogs of any size, trimming nails and shampooing fur.
More wagging. Less barking. lic doghouse is a friendly place for dogs to socialize with pup pals and then unwind in modern canine comfort. Operating out of the same Vernon Boulevard facility as City Vet, the staff at our locally owned business can satisfy all your dog's needs under one "woof."
Like many other only children, Saran longed for a little brother or sister when she was growing up. She never got a sibling, but when she was 15, her mother did surprise her with a dog, Kiki. Kiki quickly became the sibling Saran never had, and even when she left her native country of Guyana to attend college in Florida, she never forgot the bond she'd built with her dog. Saran went on to earn an MBA, later ditching her corporate career to start her own business?a pet grooming and boarding facility named in honor of her now late canine companion.
Kiki's Pet Spa & Boutique hasn't just been a comfort to Saran's animal-loving spirit, but also to other pet owners dealing with socially or physically challenged pets. That's because the compassionate staff isn't simply grooming and minding animals. During boarding and daycare sessions, they're encouraging the pets' social development and helping both owners and pets adapt to the setbacks of injuries or degenerative conditions. Staffers can also come to your home for dog walking and cat visits, and they can arrange photo shoots or portrait sittings for when your animal is having a good fur day.
Pets roam free in Unleash: Brooklyn's entirely cage-less facility, which features 3,500 square feet of daycare runs and a trained staff that keeps watch 24 hours a day. Dogs play in packs separated by size, temperament, and SAT scores, and at night, they snuggle within private dens or deluxe suites. Cats also get pampered during overnight stays. They leap across whimsical climbing structures that resemble apple trees or koi ponds and curl up next to siblings within spacious condos.

Olympian Labs' Grape Seed Extract contains 95% Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin B 2-3-0gallate, an Oligomeric Procyanidin which is more potent antioxidant than those from pine bark. Pycogenols is a generic chemical term used to distinguish the polyphenolic class of bioflavonoids which contain Flavin-3-ols from the simpler bioflavonoids. These Pycnogenols are also called Oligomeric Procyandinis. Both of these terms refer to the condensed structure of the Flavonol molecule. Olympian Labs' Grape Seed Extract, through a low temperature extraction method, is completely water soluble and free of dangerous solvents and food coloring additives. Water solubility means optimum bioavailability.

I love the look and feel of the Extra Lasting Cream to powder. It has a nice Mattee finish which I love and med to full coverage. This is not a makeup I will use everyday, onyly on special occasions when I want a little extra coverage. What I didn't like was the weird chemical like smell that is now coming from my compact. It may be due to it now being several months old so I will be ordering a new one to see if the smell is the same. Although I have never had breakouts while using this product, the smell does concern me. I also wish it had a higher spf, but I use Avon's CC cream for that purpose.

This is my HG of foundations at the moment. Im not a big fan of liquid and I can't use JUST powder on my face so this is perfect! It's really hard to find my shade at any drug store and my friend had an Avon party... so I tried the Smooth Minerals powder in light beige, it seemed to match pretty close. During the time I was into mineral makeup, but found it to be too drying on my face later on. So I went ahead and ordered this cream to powder foundation in the same color and haven't changed since! Staying power is decent, tho at times I find myself adding extra mineral powder over the foundation to stop the shine. Price is good, packaging normal with no problems, buildable layers, overall great for me. Reviewing for Light Beige!

This foundation is good. It goes on smoothly and evenly and it lasts all day. It doesn't make me break out and seems to be a little moisturizing. It also doesn't accentuate any dry patches on my face like other cream to powder foundations I've tried.
I wish that it had a higher SPF (15 doesn't seem like a lot). I also use powder foundation over top of it still as I don't like any kind of shine.

I purchased this in Creamy Natural. I'm usually lighter like Ivory, Bobbi Brown Sand, Laura Mercier Creme Ivory, Mary Kay Ivory 202.
I like the consistency of this. Its not super oily and I don't feel the need to use a powder over it. Creamy Natural really isn't a very good match for me. I probably need a shade or two lighter.
I'll use this as SPF in a pinch... the color is slightly salmony so it makes a terrific under eye concealer, but I don't think I will repurchase. It seems like it oxidizes a bit, and I had it on for maybe an hour and a half to go grocery shopping. I'll use it up, but I won't repurchase.

FURTHER UPDATE: sadly, this causes breakouts around the sides of my mouth and chin. Am going to try this in the liquid.
UPDATE: I have changed my mind about this foundation. Avon recently added new color selections to their foundation lines and I'm wondering if they also improved on the formulas. I tried this one again in one of the new shades, Light Caramel. Not only is it *the* perfect color for me, the product both looked and felt good on my face. I did find that I got a little oily earlier than I normally would but I just took care of that with my powder from another brand. I was pleasantly surprised. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I also do not care for this particular foundation. I find the liquid version to be much better. The coverage with this one is unpredictable at best. Fortunately, it didn't cost a mint so I don't feel so bad about just throwing it out, which is exactly what I plan to do.

urgh....i hate this foundation. First shades are lighter than the liquid extralasting foundation. So order 2 shades darker than your skintone. I ordered my usual cream beige in this cream to powder version, it was very light. Than I ordered Natural Tan, its still too light, then I ordered Pure Beige, its a close match but still to neutral. So I will review Pure Beige, it is blotchy, the formula sort of covers when I first put it on. Then through out the day, it dissapears, leaving me patchy! The coverage and thickness is better on the liquid foundation.

Program Snapshot
As biomedical tools and technologies rapidly improve, researchers are producing and analyzing an ever-expanding amount of complex biological data called 'Big Data'. As one component of the NIH-wide strategy, the Common Fund is supporting the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) program, which aims to facilitate broad use of biomedical big data, develop and disseminate analysis methods and software, enhance training for disciplines relevant for large-scale data analysis, and establish centers of excellence for biomedical big data.
BD2K Mission Statement
The mission of the NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative is to enable biomedical i scientists to capitalize more fully on the Big Data ii being generated by those research communities. With advances in technologies, these investigators are increasingly generating and using large, complex, and diverse datasets. Consequently, the biomedical research enterprise is increasingly becoming data-intensive and data-driven. However, the ability of researchers to locate, analyze, and use Big Data (and more generally all biomedical and behavioral data) is often limited for reasons related to access to relevant software and tools, expertise, and other factors. BD2K aims to develop the new approaches, standards, methods, tools, software, and competencies that will enhance the use of biomedical Big Data by supporting research, implementation, and training in data science and other relevant fields that will lead to:
- Appropriate access to shareable biomedical data through technologies, approaches, and policies that enable and facilitate widespread data sharing, discoverability, management, curation, and meaningful re-use;
- Development of and access to appropriate algorithms, methods, software, and tools for all aspects of the use of Big Data, including data processing, storage, analysis, integration, and visualization;
- Appropriate protections for privacy and intellectual property;
- Development of a sufficient cadre of researchers skilled in the science of Big Data, in addition to elevating general competencies in data usage and analysis across the biomedical research workforce.
Overall, the focus of the BD2K initiative is the development of innovative and transforming approaches as well as tools for making Big Data and data science a more prominent component of biomedical research.
Request for Applications: BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center External Data Science Research Projects. The BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) is soliciting applications from the scientific community for data science research collaborations with the DCIC that focus on mining and integrating data generated by the LINCS program for new scientific discovery. The overarching goal of this solicitation is to maximize the value of LINCS data and transform it into new knowledge. The DCIC, via a subcontract, will support collaboration projects with a budget limit of $130K in total costs per year for up to two years. Applications are Due May 1, 2015. Learn how to apply.
Funding Opportunity to Enhance Diversity in Biomedical Data Science. The over-arching goal of this BD2K program is to support educational activities that enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research workforce. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this funding opportunity will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on research experiences for students and faculty, and for curriculum development. Read the funding announcement.

Based on Teacher, Guide, Companion: Rediscovering Jesus in a Secular World by Erik Walker Wikstrom
Our session today is based on the book Teacher, Guide, Companion: Rediscovering Jesus in a Secular World, by the Unitarian Universalist minister Erik Walker Wikstrom. Rev. Wikstrom was baptized a Presbyterian, raised a Methodist, and is a student of Zen Buddhism. In describing this work he writes,
This book grew out of my own search in the religious soil that nourished me. In some ways it is a very personal book, reflecting the journey I have taken over the past several years to reacquaint myself with the figure of Jesus Christ, whom I once described in an Easter sermon as "an old friend I seem intent on forgetting."
Our opening words are from the introduction of Teacher, Guide, Companion:
He lived over two thousand years ago in a small town in a backwater province. He spent his entire life in an area slightly smaller than the state of Vermont. Yet this Jewish peasant—born to unwed teenage parents—continues to fascinate people, believers and nonbelievers alike. Who was he? What are we to make of the claims made on his behalf? And what, if anything, does it mean in the twenty-first century to profess to have a relationship with him?
In his book Teacher, Guide, Companion, Rev. Wikstrom invites us to take a fresh look at Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus is widely recognized by Unitarian Universalists as a historical figure and important spiritual guide or teacher. Yet according to Wikstrom, "When it comes to Christianity, many of us have not only thrown the baby out with the bathwater, but also have tossed out the tub, shut off the lights, and walked out of the house, locking the door behind us."
Why does this happen? Wikstrom says, "Jesus presents a problem to the modern mind. How do we believe in a person when what we've been told about him is so unbelievable?"
Our closing words are from a discussion in Teacher, Guide, Companion on how we might have a meaningful relationship with a historical figure like Jesus of Nazareth:
Let us begin by agreeing that to contemplate having a relationship with someone who has died over two millennia ago is irrational. Just because it is irrational, however, does not mean that it is impossible, or that it is not worthwhile. It simply means that your rational mind may not be the best tool to use. So what do you use? Your imagination.

Your membership helps us continue our work to reduce the impacts of invasive plants in the Midwest! New this year: you have the option to join MIPN using our online membership registration form and paying member dues through PayPal! Please consider becoming a new member or renewing your membership today!
In November, MIPN hosted the 2nd Invasive Plants in Trade Working Group meeting in Indianapolis, IN. The focus of this workgroup is to encourage education and interaction between land managers, researchers, and industry staff on the topic of invasive ornamental plants. MIPN's ultimate goal is to find ways to reduce the sales of invasive ornamental plants in the Midwest, and these working group meetings are part of this effort. This past November the working group focused on risk assessments of invasive plants across our region and how to reconcile differences in assessment outcomes across states. For a full report of the meeting, click here.
Midwest Invasive Plant Network Receives National Invasive Species Award
The Midwest Invasive Plant Network (MIPN) has been chosen as the recipient of the Education and Awareness on Invasive Species Partner Award from the United States Forest Service's National Forest System Invasive Species Program. This national award recognizes a partner or cooperator with the Forest Service who has demonstrated outstanding cooperation and achievements related to environmental education and awareness of invasive species issues at the national, regional, or community level.

Baked Eyeshadow is similar to many other "baked" pressed-powder eyeshadows on the market. Although "baked" powders have been around for some time, from several lines, they aren't any more impressive than other pressed-powder eyeshadows.
Despite the fact that baked eyeshadows don't have any advantage over other powder eyeshadows, Ulta's take on the baked trend is quite good. Their dome-shaped pressed-powder eyeshadow comes in a compact with a generously sized pan. Each compact has two shades, although there isn't a divider between the solid and the marbled sides, which means you have to be careful to avoid mingling the powders.
Both the solid and the marbled shades have a high-shine satin finish with some sparkle. The smooth texture blends easily and yields highly pigmented color that doesn't flake. Baked Eyeshadow can be used wet or dry, and is available in neutral earth tones as well as pinks and purples (the brighter colors are trickier to work with).
Since Ulta was founded in 1990, the company has continued to carve out a unique position as a specialty beauty store by offering a large selection of upscale and drugstore cosmetics in all price ranges, all under one roof. There are currently over 675 Ulta locations across the United States, and, like Sephora, Ulta sells its own product line right alongside more familiar brands such as Revlon, Murad, and philosophy.
The Ulta Collection offers a variety of basic makeup products, from foundation to eye shadow to lip gloss. Nearly all items in the Ulta Collection are inexpensive, and its lower price point is a major draw.
As with most cosmetics lines, Ulta has its share of good and bad products; however, it seems for every good to great makeup product the line has two average-to-poor options. Testers may or may not be available, so choose wisely.
Among the safer categories of Ulta makeup are the eyeshadows, many of the mascaras, brow products, and most of the foundations, particularly the cream-to-powder and powder formulas.
Despite our enthusiasm for Ulta's large selection of eyeshadow, the quality is inconsistent, especially when it comes to texture and how they apply, even among different shades in the same category. The best way to shop this line is to pay attention to which products we've reviewed favorably and to take extra time to play with the products in-store (assuming the Ulta you frequent keeps testers available).
In recent years, Ulta has branched out from makeup to skin care. Their namesake skin care has the same affordable price point as the makeup, and some of the products are actually quite good. Skip the cleansers, ignore the moisturizers in jar packaging, and forget about the pore-tightening products...the rest is worth exploring, but again, this is not a brand to shop without some knowledge of what you're buying and how it performs.

Another GTY yoga course has finished and it was amazing tosee the individual progression of everybody throughout the course. One of the simplest aspects, but also one of the hardest in yoga is 'breathing'. As the course progressed it was great to see the class grasp the yogic breathing and how to put it into practise when in a posture. The more you practice, the more it will become the body's second nature to draw more energy in and expel the stored tension.
I will be running my next 6 week GTY course commencing Monday 25th July, 7pm at Excel Health & Performance.
The weeks can run away from us and feel as if we never really get our list ticked off, but in the last couple of weeks I have made a conscious effort to make the time for research. I have consciously sat down, tried to put the usual distractions to one side and got on with a little research I am focusing on at the moment. I have been using many sources and one of which has helped me greatly is the Sky channel and website of Body in Balance TV. It's amazing that by giving myself that little bit of time, how it gives my mind focus and direction with my career.
This week try it yourself, sit down in a place in your home that you feel comfortable in and put down on to paper the realistic things you want to achieve in the week. Write it down, visualise it and make the time for you and see how you feel once you have ticked it off your list.
Finally, this weekend I am taking part in the London to Southend bike ride – I am hoping that the weather will stay dry for us cyclists! I will be focussing on my breathing here as breathing correctly is a vital part of riding. I keep meaning to watch David Moreno's DVD on Yoga for Cyclists; I will let you know how I get on once I have watched it.
Om Shanti

Here's hoping all of these intimidating cop cars will make you think twice before you decide to speed. These police cruisers are a little different from the Ford Crown Victorias that cops usually cruise around in. These customized cars are designed to chase down the fastest and most furious criminals.
There are few people in the world who have the skill to outrun a Nissan GT-R. Yes, Nissan's supercar killer is doing its civic duty somewhere in the U.S. The best part about all of these intimidating cop cars is that they're bound to make you see the police differently. It's really hard to hate a cop when he is cruising around in a car that you could only dream of driving.

Are you a die-hard smoker? This Smoking Gun would showcase just how bad-ass you are by pointing a gun into your mouth as if you are killing yourself (while you are actually slowly killing yourself).
Would this make you think twice and deter you from smoking or would it drive you to smoke more to look cool with a gun up your mouth? I honestly do not know!

A while ago, tumblr user "iamateenagefeminist" compiled a list of non-oppressive insults , a public service that will never be forgotten.
The people of tumblr wept with joy and appreciation (although it should be noted that the people of tumblr will literally weep over a drawing of an owl). The list is not perfect, and "ugly" should NOT be on there as it reinforces beauty hierarchies. Still, I was happy to find it, because I am always looking for more insults that don't reinforce oppressive social structures. But if you scroll through the reblogs you'll see that not everyone was enamoured of the idea of creating this list at all. In particular, several people said that trying to find non-oppressive ways to insult other people is "missing the point" of social justice.

Freedom of information legislation. Freedom of information laws (FOI laws) allow access by the general public to data held by national governments.
They establish a "right-to-know" legal process by which requests may be made for government-held information, to be received freely or at minimal cost, barring standard exceptions. Also variously referred to as open records, or sunshine laws (in the United States), governments are also typically bound by a duty to publish and promote openness. In many countries there are constitutional guarantees for the right of access to information, but usually these are unused if specific support legislation does not exist.

A fact checker is the person who checks factual assertions in non-fictional text, usually intended for publication in a periodical, to determine their veracity and correctness.
The job requires general knowledge and the ability to conduct quick and accurate research. The resources and time needed for fact-checking means that this work is not done at most newspapers, where reporters' timely ability to correct and verify their own data and information is chief among their qualifications. Publications issued on weekly, monthly, or infrequent bases are more likely to employ fact-checkers. Fact-checking, known as "research" at many publications, is most critical for those publishing material written by authors who are not trained reporters — such writers being more likely to make professional, ethical, or mere factual mistakes. Fact-checking methods vary; some publications have neither the staff nor the budget needed for verifying every claim in a given article. Vytautas Mineral Water! It's Earth's Juice! Contestations.

An obsessive planner learns to go with the flow... Finished and a Link to new PTR
Hi everyone! Just back from our first family trip to WDW and we had an absolutely magical trip! pixiedust: A lot of the magic was thanks to the wonderful people here at the DIS and my friend Karen who introduced me to the DIS in the first place. I love planning and fitting pieces of the puzzle together so the planning phase of this trip was long and detailed... you can read all about that by clicking the link for my PTR in my sig... but be warned it gets a little crazy in there at times! :rotfl:
A little background on us before I begin... WHEN: September 25- October 2, 2010 WHERE: All Star Music Resort WHO: http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...mansdomebw.jpg That's me, Hope, in the back. Dh, Robbie, is the one towering over everyone in the back. Kya, dd10, is in front of me and Jace, ds11, is next to her. In the past our trips have been pretty laid back, this pic was snapped on top of Clingman's Dome on our trip to Great Smoky Mountain National Park/ Gatlinburg last year. We like going to the mountains, the beach and made it to Germany as a family once (for b-i-l's wedding) but even that trip was relaxing and laid back. To be honest a trip to WDW was not even on my radar because it just didn't seem like our kind of thing- until Karen (twoboysnmygirl) got a hold of me. :wizard: We are homeschoolers and we were at our annual Halloween party after Karen had just returned from her 2nd trip to the World. She was telling us all about it and then casually mentioned that Disney has homeschool tickets and free dining in September. Well, I'm a bargain shopper so she had my attention! Before I knew it we were planning a trip and I was completely hooked on the entire process! :surfweb: When Disney made homeschool days earlier in September than we anticipated we decided to keep our original dates but still were able to get free dining! :woohoo: Since we normally stay in a house or condo with me doing lots of cooking and dishes when we're on vacation I was pretty excited about the idea of all our meals being prepared for us. So, the next 10 months or so just flew by as I researched, planned and, well, obsessed about making our first Disney trip as magical as possible. When it was finally time to go I kept wondering if Disney could live up to my expectations... To make it easier to follow along I'll link my next update at the end of each update post. Then you can skip the extra stuff if you're joining in later. :) Up next: Traveling to Disney |
:woohoo: Woooohoooo! Bring it on baybee! :woohoo:
Traveling to Disney
I'm going to try to stick to one update per day on this thread because A) I want to make it last so I can keep the Disney magic going for a while and B) I just think it's easier for readers to keep up if I'm not throwing too much at them at once. No promises though, I may just get to anxious to wait!
Friday September 24, Day 1: Travel We live a couple of hours away from the nearest airport so we generally just pay for long term parking near the airport. I had heard about sleep/park/fly deals though so I looked into it and it turned out we could stay at a hotel near the airport the night before our flight and leave the car there for up to 14 days for LESS money than the long term parking. The hotel we found even included a free breakfast. :thumbsup2 So, our trip actually began on Friday September 24 even though we wouldn't be at Disney until the following day. The kids were excited all day but we had to wait for Robbie to get home from work before leaving. As he pulled into the driveway I was loading the last of our luggage into the car. He called to check on his dad, tooka shower and we were on the road by 6 PM. We stopped at a convience store and I realized I'd forgotten the GPS. We share it with my parents and they'd used it recently and I just didn't even think about getting it back. It wasn't a huge deal we just weren't sure where exactly the hotel was. I had the number with me though so we decided we'd just call when we got close so we didn't have to take the time to go get the GPS. We drove for about an hour then stopped to eat at McDonald's. We'd planned to just drive through but it was dark at this point and there was quite a bit of construction on the road and I didn't want to try to eat and drive in all that- espcially since I don't really like driving at night anyway! The construction didn't slow us down too much and we were at the hotel and checked into our room by 9:15. As we were checking in we bumped into some friends who were leaving for a cruise the next day, small world! Finally, we settled to watch a little TV and went to bed early. We had a 6 AM wake-up call so we could have breakfast and be on our way to Disneyworld! :goodvibes Up Next: More travel and finally at WDW! |
YAY! I'm so glad that you have started! I can't wait to read along!
Yay! I'm in... can't wait to hear all about it!!
I guess I'm excited about your TR...I had a dream last night that you posted an update. :lmao:
Can't wait to read more!
Day 2: More travel and finally we're at WDW!!
I'm so sorry I wasn't able to update sooner! I am still fighting this head cold and today was also our first day of homeschool co-op (we started late because of our trip :lmao: ) where I had to teach a class. This morning I was doing last minute prep for that class and just didn't have time to get online! :sad2: But, I'm here now and ready to post another update! :thumbsup2
When I last left off we'd settled in to the sleep/park/fly hotel and requested a 6 AM wake-up call. Well, that wasn't necessary because I was up before the then! Now folks, this should give you a clue as to how excited I was about Disney because I am NOT a morning person. There is generally only one 7 o'clock in my day and sometimes only one 8 o'clock. :rolleyes1 However on this day I bounded out of bed and we headed down to have breakfast and take the shuttle over to the airport. We were checked in and at our gate by 7:45. Jace and I were bright-eyed and bushy tailed... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...lges/004-3.jpg Robbie and Kya, not so much. :rolleyes: http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...lges/009-1.jpg On a side note here, notice the pink in Kya's hair. She's had a little pink streak before but wanted some more for Disney. It washes out really fast and was pretty much gone by the end of the week so we just had fun with it, she loved it and it was just so cute! The airport was fairly empty and we'd already had breakfast so not really much to do but wait. There was a little convienence shop by our gate that sold candy and magazines and the kids went over just to look around and chatted for a long time with the woman working there (she had no other customers yet). When I went to the restroom I stopped and chatted with her too and she complimented them for being so friendly and articulate and that homeschooling really seemed to agree with them. :lovestruc I was pleased because people so often think that homeschooled kids will have no social skills so I like having opportunities to be good ambassadors. :goodvibes Finally it was time to board, we were in the A group to board so I was happy with that but just as we were about to get on Kya started to PANIC. She was crying and really upset, at one point she even said she didn't want to go to Disney World if she had to fly. :scared1: She's flown before and never had a problem so this took me completely by surprise. :confused3 We did our best to reassure and just kept talking to her and letting her know it would be fine. We managed to get seats with Kya and Robbie together (she wanted to sit with him) and Jace and I directly behind them. She was still crying but not as much and once we were in the air she was fine. It was very tense and I was worried since we had to transfer in KY but she did fine with the transfer and seemed to be over the fear once she'd been up and remembered that it wasn't so bad. We'd planned to eat lunch on our layover in KY but didn't count on the fact that the airport was so small so there wasn't much choice for food. There was a Quizno's and a Starbucks. That's it. Thankfully we had beef jerky and those cheese and cracker packets (the kind with the little red spreader to put the 'cheese' onto the cracker) so they were fine. Robbie and I had Quizno's and by the time we were finished eating it was time to board the plane. Like I said earlier, Kya did fine this time so it was uneventful. This flight was a bit more crowded but Robbie and Kya found seats together and Jace and I sat on aisle seats across from each other. Finally we were in Orlando and followed the signs to DME. I was impressed with how easy it was and before we knew it we were on a bus and headed to Disney property! It seemed like no time at all and we were spotting this... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...lges/011-1.jpg As we approached I kept waiting for it to sink in that we were finally here and to feel the excitement but it just wasn't coming. We walked into the lobby at All Star Music and still... nothing. I didn't know if it was exhaustion after all the travel or what. I wasn't really disappointed or unhappy, just not as excited as I thought I would be either. :confused3 I'd completed online check-in earlier in the week so we hopped into that line- it wasn't really much longer than the other line but was moving much faster. We found out we were in the Broadway building when I'd really wanted Jazz but it wasn't really much further- the two buildings face each other. I have to say that if I had it to do over again I'd probably spring for a preferred room because at the end of a long day in the parks it can seem like an eternity to get back to the room- but I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I! :rolleyes1 We got our KTTW, first visit buttons, and the kids each got a balloon with a plastic Mickey head to weigh it down. http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...lges/031-1.jpg As soon as we walked out of the lobby we immediately felt the heat and humidity. It was really our first time outside for more than a minute and nothing really prepares you for how oppressive it can feel. We knew, we'd read and been told but man, it was H-O-T!! We found our room and while I was expecting that it would be small Robbie wasn't quite prepared for it. We generally stay in houses or condos on vacation so that we can all have our own space to get away from each other if we need to. I reminded him that this was the trade off for free dining and not needing our own car. He understood but I could tell he was still unsure about the size of the room. We only took about 10-20 minutes to settle in, use the restroom and rest a bit. We wanted to get to the Magic Kingdom... Up next: Will I find the magic? |
Hi Hope! I'm subscribed to your TR but I will have to catch up this weekend.
You got me interested. Can't wait to read more. :)
I'm here! I'm here!!!!
I can't wait to hear all about your trip. Amanda |
Will I find the magic??
Okay, so when I left off we'd settled into our room and were headed for our first trip to a park. I still wasn't feeling the magic and was trying to convince myself that contentment was a perfectly acceptable way to feel. I was having a good time with my family after all so I didn't really NEED butterflies or magic. :confused3
We found the bus stop and hopped in line to Magic Kingdom. The kids were already excited, no need for them to find the magic... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...ilges/046c.jpg My first thought was I could not believe how BIG everything was. The DME was not a shuttle but a charter size bus, the Disney buses were like city buses and there was an actual highway system connecting the resorts and parks. I'd been expecting shuttles and simple paved roads but not THIS. Robbie and I looked at each other on the bus and agreed that if we'd had our own car we'd be yelling at each other by now. :rotfl: We finally arrived at Magic Kingdom. It was a party day so we saw people in costume walking in, including a really cool couple dressed as Jack Skellington and Sally. I had a little pang wishing tonight was our party night but I knew it was coming so it was okay. We made it through bag check and entered the park with no real issues. For some reason the finger scan wasn't working well for Jace and he ended up using his thumb which meant he had to use his thumb all week. :laughing: We finally made it into the Magic Kingdom and we rounded the corner to Main Street and saw this... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...lges/047-1.jpg I started to feel the butterflies, I turned to Kya and said, "LOOK!" She squealed, grabbed my hand and said, "Oh, there it is!!" She started giggling and just had the biggest smile on her face. pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: I almost started crying right there on Main Street. If I live to be 100 I will NEVER forget the moment when Kya first spotted that castle. THIS was the feeling I'd been waiting for. :cloud9: I do have to admit that as we walked down MS the tarps and the crane killed a bit of the magic for me. It was disappointing even though I was prepared for it. I do think it's great that they make the tarps look like the buildings and it helps preserve some of the atmosphere, nobody pays attention to detail like Disney. :goodvibes And the music and smells completely distracted me from the rest so, eventually and I just let myself fall back into the magic and made the decision to ignore the construction as much as possible. The teacups were closing for refurb the next day and pretty much the whole reason we were at MK on this night so we headed straight for them. The castle was roped off at this point so we had to go around. I was worried that the line would be long since this was the last night they'd be open for a while but when we got there I saw this... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...lges/068-1.jpg Woohoo! :woohoo: We jumped in the line and while we waited I tried to take in the details and theming. I tend to get caught up in the overall feeling of something and don't notice the details that go into that feeling. One thing I noticed right away was this... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...lges/081-1.jpg It took me right back to our Mad Tea Party Disney day that we'd had with Karen and Savannah when we were planning... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/_MG_9937.jpg http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/_MG_9903.jpg This would be the first of many moments throughout the week when I would think of Karen and how much she'd help us get to this point. I felt a little pang that she wasn't here with us but mostly I just felt grateful for having such a good friend. :lovestruc Before we knew it (I think it was less than 10 minutes) we were piling into our teacup. I'd been wanting this shot for months... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...nilges/140.jpg But the one I really love is the one I couldn't anticipate... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/a...nilges/132.jpg Continued... |

Cummings eyes regular starting berth
Cummings was making his first appearance for nearly two months as Ryan Bertrand was forced to withdraw through illness. He told the club's official website: "Obviously I got the call late due to Ryan being ill and just had to come back in and try to do what I do. "I was happy I got the opportunity but then again I didn't want it to be in that manner - hopefully all is well and Ryan gets better soon. "I hope in the way I train I always give the manager a selection headache. He knows what I'm capable of so we'll just have to see how it goes."

Korean Romantic Comedy
"Daisy" is a story about the inevitable showdown between a detective and a killer who fall in love with the same woman. In the story, Jeon plays a street artist who dreams of opening her own exhibition someday, while Jeong portrays a killer … see full wiki
Daisy is a surprising film. I didn't know what to expect when I started watching it, but the simplicity of the title drew me to the movie. That and it starred my favorite female Korean actress Gianna Jun (Ji-hyun Jun), who plays a girl named Hye-young. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the film was a love story written by Jae-young Kwak, my favorite Korean writer and director. As is Kwak's style, the film had a non-traditional romance. Hye-young is pined after by a professional assassin named Park Yi (played by Woo-sung Jung). When I discovered this complicated relationship, I knew I was going to enjoy this film. Who doesn't like a "bad boy" that wants to change his ways and become worthy of the woman he loves?
The characters are well-crafted as is the story. Anyone familiar with writer and director Jae-young Kwak would expect nothing short of perfection in his story-telling capabilities. Kwak has created some amazing pieces such as as My Mighty Princess, My Sassy Girl, Cyborg She, Windstruck (my favorite), and The Classic (I've reviewed all these titles minus The Classic, which I'm still drafting). Daisy offers many of Kwak's trademark scenes, such as intense rain/ weather conditions and an innocent romantic relationship, which is always refreshing in a sometimes sex-crazed media.
The object of everyone's affections is Hye-young, who is our "daisy." She is an innocent landscape artist who works in her father's antique shop while also painting portraits in the city square. She dreams of having her own art exhibit. Hye-young has a secret admirer-- a man that sends her daisies everyday. She pines after him because she truly believes he is her soul mate. There is a good reason her secret admirer remains a secret; he's a criminal. Park Yi loves Hye-young because she is hopeful, innocent, and beautiful. She is everything he wishes he could be. Because of his profession, though, he has to hide both himself and his love, although this doesn't prevent him from performing random acts of kindness. Yi believes that his distance is the only way to protect Hye-young from his cruel world. If this wasn't enough drama, the situation escalates when a third man is brought into the story making a love triangle, Jeong Woo (played by Sung-jae Lee). Since this is a film of contrasts, Woo plays the opposite of our "villain," an undercover Interpol detective and the local hero. With such an amazing cast of actors, it's no wonder this movie succeeds; after all, every great story is defined by the characters who portray it.
What is truly fascinating about this piece is all the twists and turns that cause viewers to question everything they know about heroes and villains, good and bad, the truth versus a lie. Not only was I confused about who Hye-young was destined for, my own perception of love changed because of this compelling drama. I always value ideas and situations that are not easily defined by one extreme or another, so I appreciated this thought-provoking plot. The only reason I didn't rate the movie a perfect +5 was because there were still a few scenes that were awkward, confusing, or just too unrealistic, even for a melodrama. For example, Park Yi was too good of an assassin, best exposed during some of the high action scenes where he used his powers for good. However, some of these flaws could be an attribute of the version I watched (at the time I didn't know there were two cuts). I never did figure out which one I saw.
Daisy is a melodrama; some call it "an urban romantic melodrama." The action and romance take place in The Netherlands, specifically in Amsterdam, Haarlem, and Epen. The setting was perfect because there are many scenic shots with fields full of daisies. As one expected from the title of the film, daisies are featured prominently (as are black tulips). Amsterdam is perfect because of the contrasts it provides. There are lush meadows, green fields, blue skies, and white daises juxtaposed with the busy city squares, gothic and grey. In the countryside, love blossoms. In the city, loneliness abounds.

I really enjoy gardening and I love to plant stuff for my mom so she can smell the flowers (and of course look at them lol). I would like to be able to enjoy this as well, but I have an extremely deaf nose. Even when the flower is right in front of my face I can't smell a thing. Anyways, I was wondering if there's anything you can do to make it so you can smell things better, or if it will always be this way?? |

Happy 14th birthday deviantART!!!
I can't believe it's 10 years since I created my account on this site. WOW, I feel old and like some kind of veteran here on dA ^^'
Anyway, I chose those drawings to show how my art progressed over those 10 years (I had a few hard years of my life when I wasn't able to draw anything, so it may not be spectacular but it's noticeable, I think :] )
1. This drawing was created in 2004 (but submitted on dA in 2008). It was one of the first works I was really happy with (part of my 'Black and white' series). It was more detailed and planned out. I still kind of like it :]
Than came many years of struggle with myself and my disorder...
Than came many years of struggle with myself and my disorder...
2. ...To finally be able to concentrate again on art but in a different form xD This metal wolf was created for my (ex)boyfriend's birthday. It was sooooo hard ^^' . It was the first time I did something like this and with just basic tools and materials from old, not longer necessary objects. Nobody believed I can pull this off but I proved them wrong ;]
3. Another of my metal works. A rose created for my parents 30th anniversary :]
4. So here we come to the drawing that is probably the most important in my growth as an 'artist'. It's the first 'serious' drawing I did after many years of not picking any drawing tool. I used good quality paper and pencils and really tried to pay attention to details, shape, composition, shading, feelings, etc. I again started to feel passionately about art and started to believe I can really reach the level of skill that I will be happy with.
5. Ahhh, my beloved Jack of all trades, I love him :* But back to the topic x] It's the first 'full' drawing I did with my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. And do I need to say/write that I totally fell in love with them? ^^
6. And here's the fanart of Ciel from 'Kuroshitsuji' ^^ I normally don't draw/paint fanarts but I adore this character and it made me practice with my watercolors (to this day I have love/hate relationship with them ^^'). I really like how it turned out :]
7. 'Gaia' - another watercolor (mostly) painting and my most faved work. Don't know why, I'm not that happy with it... But well, who am I to judge? xP
8. And finally my spider queen :] I really like this drawing. It was created for Stylenoir Monarchy Contest and even though I wasn't chosen as a finalist, It's probably still my favorite work that I created (on paper that is) :]

.- Archbishop Hugo Barrantes of San Jose in Costa Rica exhorted the more than 100,000 Catholics gathered for a pro-life march to care for the family, "the primary and fundamental cell of society" and "the first school of virtues," against certain anti-family and anti-marriage laws in the country.
On Sunday at the Cathedral of San Jose, where he celebrated a Mass at the conclusion of the pro-family march, the archbishop underscored that "the family is one of the most precious gifts God has given humanity. We are convinced that there is no alternative to the family. The family is the first school of virtues that all societies need."
In pointing out that there are some "who think they can be happy without God, that they can change and improve the world without God," Archbishop Barrantes stressed that "without God, the family falls apart and society crumbles."
The archbishop also touched on marriage, saying that it is not "the tale of Alice in Wonderland. Those who get married should remember that there is no success going downhill, nor true happiness at a cheap price. Spouses should pray frequently before the cross. They should pray for the grace and strength that come from the cross, they should put themselves under the protection of the cross and they should follow Christ on the way of the cross."
Archbishop Barrantes then turned to the five new bills that threaten the family, which attack the definition of marriage being between one man and one woman, and threaten the freedom of parents to choose the kind of education they want for their children. Catholic legislators must reject these measures, he said.
He urged that discussions about the measures be conducted to ensure that "the voice of Catholics is heard, within the context of the rule of law."
After encouraging spouses to renew their promises of love and fidelity, Archbishop Barrantes said "the great revolution in favor of the family" should begin with "living matrimonial holiness."

Two games in one. The Tracing Game involves identifying shapes by using the mouse to trace over them. 'Paint Pot Pick-Up' allows your child to experiment with different colours and practise their computer skills as they try to stop their favourite Doodle Doer from being tickled.
How to extend the fun
After your child has played the Tracing Game, let them have a go at doing some real tracing. Grab a piece of paper, create some shapes out of dots and then see if your child can trace over them with a pencil. Great for practising their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they hold the pencil and form the shapes.
How to make a magic moment
With all that Doodle Do tickling going on in the Paint Pot Pick-Up game, what better excuse than to get your tickling hands out and share some giggles! Guaranteed to put a big smile on both your faces.

Hey all, Ruger 77 Compact Black Laminate in 300 RCM Curious if anyone owns this rifle in this caliber. Thinking about a new rifle in a compact size. I also like the Ruger 77 RL model, but want this one to be a truck gun. The black laminate stock is to my liking, and the 300RCM caliber seems a good match by reading a few magazine articles. But it would be more convincing to buy or not to buy, hearing from some "real" folks who have shot, hunted with it, or both.

But extreme pregnancy and new-baby-themed cakes are popping up at showers across the country, and sometimes, it's not pretty. Check out 17 cakes that we're pretty sure went just a little bit too far (including ones from Christina Aguilera and Snooki).

It's Changed
I've been buying this for more than 10 years because it was so good, but the last few tubs have been dreadful. Just one solid clogged up lump of salt, very difficult to get any out. Extremely disappointed.

Used to be my favourite
It used to be the only pure salt you could get in a fine grain. Now it is just like the others - full of additives. Very disappointed that this changed without warning that the product was no longer the same.

Great salt, great dispenser
I have been buying this Waitrose salt for 15 years (dispenser hasn't changed in all that time!) and think it is great seasalt at an unbeatable price. Totally disagree with reviewer who said it is powdery. The grains are very fine, they have to be to come out of dispenser, but not powdery! The dispenser is very handy, never clogs up, and always dispenses liberally. For everyday seasalt to sprinkle on food, you can't go wrong with this one! (I use the coarse version for cooking or adding to pasta water to season pasta while cooking.)

Perfectly Good Salt
I also have used this salt for years (and I've tried a few), this has always been the best, never gets clogged up, and have only seen powder arising if I used tonnes of the stuff. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needed a course salt.

OK, I know this has been asked a million times and I have read most of the threads on here about wedding meads. My question is, with so many recipes out there, what is the best, and easiest one to do? I am getting married in the beginning of May 2011 so I have some time to let it age.
I made a mead a few years ago with 20# of honey and 5# of blueberries. Not a whole lot of fruit flavor, but the alcohol was about 18% and it crept up on you about 1/2 way through. I started with the sweet mead yeast from wyeast, with pitching a few pounds of honey every couple of weeks. Once all was in, I let the yeast do its work for as long as it could, then pitched Eu de Vie (wyeast 4347). That fermented out the entire batch after the mead yeast got it over 1/2 way, at least.
Great idea Scubbastv. I am doing the same thing with my wedding for next year. My cousin was married this year and as a present gave a bottle of home-brewed bottled and labeled wine to every couple. The easiest recipes are going to be the simple meads; however, they are not very festive. Look at the recipes and also how many people are going to be at your wedding, you may run out of carboys Personally, I am going to go with a Peach Melomel (summer wedding) I'm going to add extra honey at the end for extra carbonation, and if time and money allows I am going to force carbonate. I figure it should be a very fruity festive wine. This is by far the simplest easiest recipe for mead I know of, but it is more for an introduction to mead, I would only recommend it for beginners, if you have any brewing experience than go with a different recipe http://www.stormthecastle.com/mead/b...-wine-mead.htm
