You're the best parents in the world! I gotta pee! Where's My Tooth? Trip report!
Hi ya guys and gals! First off, let me start by saying that I have never written a trip report so bear with me. I didn't even know that trip reports existed until about seven or eight months ago. I know....what's up with that? I guess I spent all my time over on the resort and theme park boards and didn't venture out enough.:confused3
I am also going to tell you right now that you'll find that I am a detail person. I guess it's because I have to go into such detail when drafting legal documents. So, I am apologizing up front. If you don't want to know all the details, just skip around. You know....like when you read just the juicy parts of a romance novel and skip all the boring parts. Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings.;) I absolutely love taking pictures. The more the better so you'll see lots of pictures in this report. Some of my pictures from this trip were lost somewhere between my camera and my computer. It took a guy at the camera shop two hours to restore 967 pictures. I know I took more but that's all he could retrieve. Since I had cried for two days before I took the camera to the shop, I was happy with what he was able to do. Our family consists of: Myself: Lisa, 43, legal secretary for 26 years. Yep, I was just a babe out of high school when I started working in a law office. After spending 25 years in the same firm, I finally decided to make a change. So, I went to work with another attorney in May of last year. That meant we had to cancel our June, 2008 WDW vacation. I'll give more details in a little bit. Oh, and I have Bell's Palsy. It's no biggie, you may just notice that the right side of my face is a bit puffy and my eye droops a little. Oh well, if that's all life has thrown at me so far (other than ovarian pre-cancer), I can handle it. My husband: John, 43, owner of a cabinet shop. After working and making money for others for many many years, he decided to make a drastic move...quit his job and started his own custom furniture and cabinet shop. It really was a good move since he suffered a head injury on the job 16 years ago which caused him to have epilepsy. The seizures are under control with medication but there are some days that are worse than others. Those are the days when being your own boss is great. Our daughter: Lacey, 22, missionary college student in Cleveland, Georgia. She goes to school year round (well, they are off for three weeks for the Summer). The program she is in is very intense. Not only does she take online college courses but she teaches children's church, volunteers at a homeless shelter in Atlanta, Georgia, volunteers her help with a mentally and physically handicapped baseball team, works at a Summer camp for Autistic children and a Summer camp for children from financially strapped families who otherwise might not get to attend camp. She is one busy girl and Mama is super proud of her. It is a bit hard though because we only get to see her for a week at Christmas, a week in May and three weeks in the Summer. Our son: Hunter, 12. Hunter has grown up going to Disney World. His first five consecutive steps were in the Magic Kingdom. He is very into riding his bicycle, art, playing football, playing his guitar, his Playstation and hanging out with his Youth group friends. He's the one that yelled "You're the best parents in the whole wide world!". More about that in just a minute. Our puppy: Oddball, 1. We adopted Oddball (Disney name: from 101 Dalmations) from a local animal shelter last year. He was our consolation prize after we had to cancel our June, 2008 WDW vacation: Since he and his two brothers were "drop-offs" at the shelter, we didn't know his true age but they estimated about 6 weeks. We decided he has the same birthday as our son. Here's a picture of my husband, Hunter and I taken on our 2008 trip: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...100_0582-1.jpg And a picture of Lacey and Hunter: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/100_0219.jpg And Lacey with her Mission Georgia Master's Commission Group when they visited our house last year: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/100_0211.jpg And a picture of Oddball and one of Oddball and Hunter playing in the rain: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/000_0065.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/100_1173.jpg Now that the introductions are over, I'll tell you a bit more about the story behind the title. Like I said, because I changed jobs, I had to cancel our 2008 vacation. I've known my new boss for many many years and he told me when he hired me that it was a real possibility that I could still take a vacation but later in the Summer. I didn't start work for him until the last week of May so I truly didn't think it would ever happen because school would be starting on August 17th. And, we were a one secretary/one attorney office. Who the heck was going to fill in for me even if I did book a vacation. But, I kept watching the Special Offers page on the Disney World website just in case. When the End of Summer room only promo came out, I marched right into my boss' office and announced I would be going to Disney the second week of August. I told him what a good deal I could get and he said book it. I started calling all my legal secretary friends and attorneys to see if they knew anybody who could fill in for me. Just when it was beginning to look like I was going to have to call a temp service (which my boss didn't want to do), I found somebody! The granddaughter of one of my attorney friend's secretary. Hooray! I immediately called my husband and he was super stoked. Since he's his own boss, he can take off any time he wants. Some time when we were talking, it was decided that we wouldn't tell Hunter about the trip. We would keep it a secret from him. I get off the phone and call Disney travel and book a preferred location room at the Caribbean Beach Resort at a super fantastic price! Because it was a room only promo, we weren't able to book the dining package. We were okay with that because we had already spent a good chunk of our allotted June Disney vacation money when we went to Branson, Missouri (:scared1:and some people say Disney is expensive) and Arkansas. Now you see, Hunter was majorly disappointed when we had to cancel our Disney vacation. We had gone that time of the year every year since 1998. Our June, 2008 trip was to be our 13th trip. (In the year 2000, we went three times.) We had taken him on a road trip through Missouri and Arkansas the week before I started my new job just so we could say we went on vacation in 2008. It just wasn't the same though. This surprise trip was going to be a big deal to Hunter. It was now early July and we were wondering how in the world would we keep our Disney trip planning a secret? We would be traveling to Georgia to see our daughter graduate her first year of missionary college mid-July and I decided I would make a big deal of being too lazy to put the luggage back in the attic. That way, I could keep it in the bedroom and I could start putting things in it a little at a time without Hunter wondering why luggage was stacked up in the corner. I could also say that all the snacks I was picking up were for our Georgia trip (sticking some of those back too). Anyway, time passes. We go to Georgia and the suitcases never get put in the attic. I order the park tickets and tell them we'll do Will Call for our tickets at our resort. During our 9 hour drive to Georgia, my mother (who knew about the surprise and who came with us to see Lacey graduate), John and I talked about John, Hunter and I going on another long weekend road trip in August. Hunter said that would be cool. Planting the seed so when we started packing up things in the car come August, it wouldn't seem crazy to Hunter.;) The plan was in place but would we be able to be able to pull it off? |
Hi Lisa!!
I'm so glad you started a report! Your family is beautiful and Oddball is adorable! Can't wait to hear more! I could never pull off a surprise! ;) |
It was super hard to keep the trip a surprise. There were quite a few times I almost let the cat out of the bag. Once, I actually said, "when we get to Disney" and immediately turned to see if Hunter heard me. Thank goodness he wasn't paying his Mama any mind. Go figure?:lmao: |
I thought I better throw this DISCLAIMER in before Lacey finds out I posted those pictures of her without an explanation. Her mission group travels to different arenas and speak, do dramas and paint. Because of this she constantly has paint on her and her clothes. Most times, she has a bandana tied around her head too. She really is clean, you just can't tell it.;)
Hey Lisa!
I'm in!! Can't wait to hear more! :yay: |
I intended to get the next installment out tonight but one of the Judge's secretaries I am friends with came by this afternoon and we booked her a vacation at the CBR for June 26th! She's never been to Disney and needs all the help she can get! |
Like I was saying, a big chunk of our Disney dollars had been spent traveling around Missouri and Arkansas so we were on a limited Disney budget. We decided that it would be counter service meals every day. Hey, I'll still be in Disney so I can hang with that.
But, we were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary on August 10th so we decided to try and get an ADR for that night. Since we wouldn't have park hoppers and our trip was cut down from our usual 10 days, we decided to go to Epcot that day and try and get a dinner ADR in the park. After the Disney Dining Castmember spent about fifteen minutes trying to find us something/anything, she finally found Rose & Crown at 8:15 p.m. We had never eaten there but we'd give it a try. |
You know I'm in!!!
So, now your report will be my "prozac":upsidedow. Figured I'd go into detox after I finished my report:rotfl2:. Can't wait to follow along...great hearing who you are...I love making new friends...doesn't happen much being a SAHM and watching two other little ones.:rotfl:...don't get out much:eek: :mickeyjumcan't wait to follow along... :thumbsup2great start and intro to your family... Connie |
Nobody understand the disboards until they are a member. I agree that it's a great way to meet new friends and other people who love Disney as much as I do. Lisa |
Pre-op tomorrow and surgery at noon on Monday:sad1:
:flower3: |
Followed your link from the LA lovers thread. Hope you are able to pull off the surprise! |

we're planning a surprise trip for our twins, who will be 6 y/o when we go in OCT 09. i'm getting excited already, and reading your trip report is making me even more excited to go back! :yay: |
Hi....I also came over from the La thread. I'm always up for a good trip report, and I love CBR and details so this should be right up my alley! :lmao:

Fictions of Sappho (CLST10/WGST21.2)
Goddess of poetry, sexual predator, exotic holiday destination, lovelorn suicide, schoolmistress, parchment scrap: these are among the associations clustering around Sappho. From antiquity to the twenty-first century her poems and the legends about her life and loves have fascinated writers, artists and musicians as different as Queen Victoria, Willa Cather, Boccaccio, Jeanette Winterson, Ezra Pound, Gounod, and Ovid. We sample some of the twists and turns in this seemingly endless stream of fantasy and creative reaproppriation. (LIT/CI)

I like the smell of this product. But I wish it was a tad more cocoa-y.
It is so close to smelling like cocoa butter, but it's missing something.
I don't like the texture. And it is not moisturizing at all. If anything, it made my hands dry when I used it. It's for a good cause, but I will not be buying this product again.
I actually love the smell, it's kind of like turkish delight and chocolate. Many people i know have complimented me for wearing it but some don't like it at all. It's kind of a love hate product where scent is concerned. It keeps my skin moisturised all day which I love, and also love the fact that all profit goes to charity.
I got this in a gift box. I hate it. Nothing good about it except some money goes to charity. I hate the smell.
I was just browsing and got suckered into getting this by the fact that this goes to charity. Not to mention the product feels so luxurious and creamy when I put it on. I can't explain how it feels, but it's like this soft, cushion-y, velvet, plush feeling when I apply. Yes it is a little watery, which was a little bit of a shock to me at first, but a little goes a very long way. It feels a little oily, but sinks in quickly. I personally don't mind the tub. I find I can control how much I am taking a little better than I think I would fare if this were in a bottle/tube. The smell is not bad. It smells strongly of cocoa at first, but quickly dissipates. I may purchase again..but the cost is hard to justify when I can find an equally fabulous lotion at whole foods for less.
I agree with many other reviewers on the packaging -- it doesn't make sense to sell a lotion of this consistency in a tub when a bottle would do just fine.
I can understand why some people are put off by the smell. It's definitely unusual, and very strong when you first open the container. Personally, I like the smell very much, so if you're picky you might want to give it a whiff in the store before buying. When it comes to stuff like that, it's really just a matter of personal taste.
As for the actual quality/effectiveness of the product? It definitely does a really good job of moisturizing, no doubt about that. It takes a bit of time to soak in fully, but it leaves my parched, itchy skin soft and smelling like candy corn. I'm on my second container.
It is expensive, but all Lush products are.
I really like this stuff for all-purpose, all-over fall/winter moisturizing. I enjoy the smell but my boyfriend thinks it smells like 'burnt cosmetics.' Ultimately, it does the moisturizing job I need it to do and the full price of it is donated to charity. I will continue to repurchase.
I liked this product. When I went to Lush I got suckered into buying it because the salespeople were so nice. I noticed that some people are complaining about the smell but I actually liked the smell. It is a little overpowering when you first put it on but if you give it some time to settle it smells great afterwards. It feels great on my skin! It makes my skin feel so smooth! It is expensive for lotion (I paid $5 for 45 grams) However 100% of the proceeds go to charity so I think that it is worth the price.
I have very dry, sensitive skin and I find this lotion to be very hydrating and non-irritating. A little bit goes a long way. I love the smell. I also love the fact that my money is going to a good cause. The packaging could be a bit more practical (i.e. tube form) as I always tend to get the lid greasy when I am putting it back on. Though it's more expensive than a drugstore lotion, I have purchased this lotion over and over because it works so well. I would argue that it works better than other Lush lotions such as Creme Anglaise and Dream Cream.
I got the medium sized tub for £6 yesterday, as I thought if I'm gonna buy a lotion, I might as well get one where all the money goes to charity! Anyhow, I wasn't overly impressed with the smell, but today after using it, I love it! It smells clean and inoffensive!
It IS very runny, I got s bit of a shock when I first opened it this morning lol, but I know know to be careful when I use it!
Is is one of one lotions where a little goes a long way, I dabbed my index and middle finger in the pot, and shared is amount between both my arms, with satisfactory moisturisation!
I love this and will repurchase.
More reviews by rebeldiamonds88
I purchased a tiny sample pot of this for £1 while purchasing a couple of other Lush products that I use regularly because I figured that its small size would make it useful as a hand cream to keep at work.
I threw it out after 1 day.
There is nothing redeeming about this product. I have never come across a product so runny, every time I opened the pot this stuff would end up everywhere, including my clothes and desk. Then there's the smell! This was the primary reason for me throwing this product out. I can't begin to describe the vile smell further than the fact that it gave me a headache.
Worst £1 I've spent.

Harbour Square renovations near completion
Date: August 12, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Alicia Aeziman, owner of Alicia's Grooming, likes her dog-grooming shop's location at Harbour Square. It's quiet, and the covered parking lot and elevator ensure that her canine clientele won't get wet when it rains.
But she thinks that many Longboaters might not recognize Harbour Square, located at 4134 Gulf of Mexico Drive, as a commercial space.
"I think it's a wonderful place," Aeziman said. "I just don't think a lot of people know that we're here."
Built in 1988, the 16,000-square-foot plaza is home to 17 tenants, most of which are offices. And Oscar Parsons, who has owned Harbour Square since 1995, is finishing a series of updates to the plaza, which have been in the works for the past two years and have cost approximately $5 million.
"It's a world-class facility," Parsons said.
In the past two years, he has repainted and re-striped the parking lot. He has made updates to the drainage system and landscaping and replaced the courtyard lights.
Last week, he secured an agreement with the state that allows him to extend a lease agreement for 10 years on the eight boat slips behind the building on Sarasota Bay. The agreement allows the slips to hold boats up to 44 feet long, compared with the prior agreement, which limited the boats to 34 feet.
Currently, contractors are drilling a 350-foot-deep well on the east side of the property, which Parsons says will save himself, tenants and boat-slip owners money for water.
Parsons said that he refurbished the plaza to make it more comfortable for its current tenants.
"It was time to get a cleanup," he said.
But he hopes that when the economy rebounds, the plaza will attract tenants for its approximate half-dozen vacant spots, one of which is a 4,200-square-foot penthouse that has been vacant since last year, when
Larry Star Group Realty One moved out of the spot. The penthouse's zoning allows it to be used for residential or commercial space. The penthouse includes a private elevator.
Parsons says that the plaza is more suitable for office space, because it doesn't have the level of traffic needed for retail.
But that's something tenants such as Secure-All Insurance owners George and Sandra Ceshker don't mind. Last month, they opened their new insurance business at Harbour Square.
"They (people) think it's another great, big home," Sandra Ceshker said. "It's our little secret."

There's nothing new about politicians making promises they are in no position to keep. Herbert Hoover's 1928 campaign promised a "chicken in every pot and a car in every backyard, to boot." Michele Bachmann is promising $2 a gallon gasoline. President Obama promised "hope and change."
But when it comes to political pandering, it's hard to beat a promise Mitt Romney made on Thursday in New Hampshire to a 21-year-old college student named Kallie Durkit, who wanted to know why college students should support Romney instead of Obama.
"What I can promise you is this – when you get out of college, if I'm president you'll have a job. If President Obama is reelected, you will not be able to get a job," Romney said.
And it be clear: Romney was not offering Ms. Durkit a job in the White House. That would be an easy promise to keep.
Romney's promise was directed at all college students. He was crystal clear: If Obama is elected they will not find work. But If Romney is elected they will. A guarantee sealed by the promise of a man running for president.
Here's the full question and response, courtesy of ABC News' Emily Friedman:
Kallie Durkit: "Relatability has been a large issue for you on this campaign trail, and as a college student many people in my generation find it especially hard to relate to you as a candidate," said 21-year-old Kallie Durkit, who attends Bowling Green State University in Ohio. "Why should we mobilize for you as a candidate instead of Obama, which we did in 2008?"
Mitt Romney: "What I can promise you is this – when you get out of college, if I'm president you'll have a job," said Romney. "If President Obama is reelected, you will not be able to get a job. That's the reason I will hopefully get young people who are in college is to say, You know what, I understand what it takes to get jobs in America."
The promise closely echoes something Romney said on an entirely different subject back in November. "If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon," Romney said during a debate on foreign policy sponsored by CBS News and National Journal. "If you elect me as president, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon."
So, in summary: If Mitt Romney is elected there will jobs for everybody graduating college and a nuclear free Iran. If Obama is elected nobody graduating college will find work and the world will be one step closer to nuclear annihilation.
One final note: To be fair to Herbert Hoover, he never actually promised a chicken in every pot. That came from a newspaper ad placed in support of his campaign by the Republican National Committee in 1928 urging Americans to vote for Hoover. According to the Hoover Presidential Library, "The ad described in detail how the Republican administrations of Harding and Coolidge had 'reduced hours and increased earning capacity, silenced discontent, put the proverbial 'chicken in every pot.' And a car in every backyard, to boot.'"

The Irishman
The Gang's All Here: De Niro, Pacino, Pesci Team For Scorsese's 'The Irishman'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on December 16, 2010 | Comments (5)As if a better cast could be assembled. Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino will all find themselves lookin' at each other under the direction of Martin Scorsese for The Irishman. The plot could involve three out-of-work plumbers sitting around talking about the glory days, and it would still be a hell of a cast, but the film boasts mob ties, hit men, and conspiracy connections to JFK's assassination. Plus, they might all solve where Jimmy Hoffa is buried so we can all finally get on with our lives. It's possible that the only way to make this better is to include Harvey Keitel. Fortunately, he's involved as well. The only challenge for the film will be keeping the curse words in the low thousands. [Cinematical]

Evgeni Malkin is Overrated
Kent Wilson
May 14 2010 03:07PM
I watched the Habs take down the Penguins in the second round and beyond being struck by how uncanny the Canadiens current run is (remind you of '04 anyone?) I also came away thoroughly unimpressed with Evgeni Malkin, a player I rarely get to see much of here on the West Coast.
He made a lot of questionable decisions with the puck on his stick in the offensive zone. Drop pass to nobody type stuff. I think I even heard Bertuzzi sigh in frustration a couple of times.
May 13 2010 01:46PM
Much like the fan who shot the - ahem - "rap" video above, you have to hand it to the Montreal Canadiens for not only knocking off the Washington Capitals but now impossibly the Pittsburgh Penguins as well.

I love the scrutiny, passion, analysis and most of all the emotion that we experience during the NHL playoffs. The hockey is awesome even though Albertans had to enjoy it all on TV, and now Canuck fans are feeling like Sami Salo in game five, but this postseason is still the most riveting I'm witnessed in years.

On Twitter today, somebody suggested that we at The FAN 960 should no longer refer to Montreal's Mike Cammalleri by name. Instead we should refer to him as "MC", to which I suggested we take a cue from the 2004 movie The Village and refer to him only as "he we do not speak of".

The Most Uncomfortable Conversation EVER Could Save Your Marriage
If there is already tension in your relationship, propose some ground rules so that this can be a productive exchange and not one that devolves into an argument. Create agreements that neither of you will make accusations that you don't have firm facts to back up and that you'll both steer clear of generalizing statements.
When referring to your partner's habits, the more specific and observable you can be, the better. Instead of saying, "You never want to have sex with me...." try "I want to have sex more often."
Blame and judgment are not conducive to meeting needs so leave them out.
Make it your primary intention to honestly communicate to your partner what you'd like more of in your relationship. Do you want more respect, appreciation, cooperation with finances or housework, intimacy or fun? Ask for it in a way that invites your spouse to come closer to you and to help you get that need met.
Stay open because the way you think your need "should" be met may be different than what your partner can do; that doesn't mean you'll have to remain dissatisfied or feeling deprived.
The success of this conversation-- and your marriage-- depends on you speaking honestly and listening fully. As your spouse speaks, look for the overlap in what you both want and need. Listen for needs your partner has that you didn't know about and feel into yourself for what you will do.
When your partner brings up a need, keep yourself open. It's not easy to hear this information so try not to get defensive or take it personally. Be responsible for your role and place emphasis on what you both can do to help you both get your needs met.
Avoid this trap...
The potential downside of this kind of conversation is that you'll begin to only see what you're NOT getting from one another and you'll fixate on what's wrong with your marriage.
THAT isn't good for your relationship, so don't do it!
A happy, healthy and close marriage depends on honest assessment and quick action to address trouble areas. It also requires you both to also regularly notice and celebrate the strengths and what's going right.
The goal is to come away from this uncomfortable conversation about unmet needs with a solid plan you'll both follow mixed with genuine appreciation for each other and the love you share.

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.

From memory, I feel like official NTC and US (a dude the pentagon
specifically) generally give a more "we're going to need to watch out for
these guys (AQ) though" which also allows them to justify spending money
on securing they area. (But I'm not saying the threat is not there, it may
With the general media there's a mix of that tone and the one of "the
Islamists in Libya are so misunderstood and have been just as repressed"
Articles for reference. But I'd need to do a more comprehensive media
breakdown to gauge whether this is just the articles I remember most or if
this an actual trend.
Here's one of the articles below but Zimbra's being a shit and find the
other ones but this isn't priority.
Al-Qaeda seeking Libya foothold, Pentagon says
September 15, 2011
Al-Qaeda plans to gain a foothold in Libya and develop its network by
taking advantage of chaos enveloping the country in the wake of Moammar
Qaddafi's ouster, a Pentagon official said Wednesday.
"It's safe to say that it's one of their goals to try and set up some sort
of a footprint and network internally... playing for the long haul," said
the official on condition of anonymity.
"Right now they probably play it safe but in the long term that's
something we are worried about."
Qaddafi, wanted for alleged crimes against humanity by the International
Criminal Court, remains in hiding but many of his inner circle and a son
have fled to neighboring Niger, while Libya's new rulers tackle the
aftermath of a more than six-months uprising.
"We're concerned that [Al-Qaeda[ could try to take advantage of the
situation," the Pentagon official said.
"Al-Qaeda's leadership and AQIM (Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb)
leadership has expressed an interest in getting involved and playing a
role. They see that as an opportunity," he added.
A two-day meeting on security in Africa's Sahel desert region earlier this
month ruled out any foreign military intervention to counter an Al-Qaeda
threat exacerbated by the war in Libya.
The conference in Algiers was dominated by fears that an influx of weapons
from Libya could benefit AQIM.

Libyan NTC's arrogance cause of rift between Islamists, secularists -
Arab paper
Text of report by London-based independent newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi
website on 14 September
[Editorial: "The Conflict Between Islamists and Secularists in Libya"]
The struggle over Libya's wealth and enormous financial assets deposited
in Western banks, ($160 billion according to most modest estimates),
takes place simultaneously with another struggle for power between
liberals and Islamists. The signs of this power struggle began to
surface in the past few days, even before the revolutionaries have
regained Libyan leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's last strongholds in Surte
[Sirte], Bani Walid, and Sabha.
There is general agreement among many people that NATO's military
intervention in favour of the Libyan opposition and its forces in their
conflict with the former regime was not purely for humanitarian reasons,
but also for commercial considerations. The growing divisions between
the liberal wing, which asked for NATO's intervention and which wooed
Israel through the French philosopher, Bernard-Henri Levy, who is known
for his close friendship with Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
and Defence Minister Ehud Barak, and the Islamist wing represented by
cleric Abd-al-Hakim Belhaj, the head of the military Council in Tripoli;
and Isma'il al-Salabi, the head of the Military Council in Surte and
Bani Walid [as published], threatens to weaken the legitimacy of the
Transitional National Council's [NTC] representation of the Libyan
people and, consequently, the achievement of national reconciliation in
the country.
The Islamists constitute the vast majority of the Libyan
revolutionaries, and those, most notably the militant wing in their
ranks, feel that the NTC treated them condescendingly. They also know
that the NTC did not give them the sovereign and ministerial posts they
deserve in the Executive Council, which is tantamount to a council of
ministers, and which is in charge of running the country's affairs. The
secular liberals, most of whom lived in Western countries, or were
cabinet ministers and senior officials in the former Libyan regime, gave
themselves the high posts. They treated haughtily the Islamic commands
in the field, who sacrificed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of martyrs
over the past seven months in confrontations with Al-Qadhafi's regiments
throughout Libya.
Shaykh Ali al-Salabi, the spiritual father of the Islamists in Libya and
member of the International Federation of Muslim Religious Scholars, led
by the eminent theologian, Dr Yusuf al-Qaradawi, surprised many
yesterday by accusing members of the Executive Council of stealing
Libyan people's funds. He called on the Executive Council's Chairman,
Mahmud Jibril, to resign and leave the Libyans and the genuine patriotic
forces to build their country's future. He also attacked symbols of
secular liberalism, like Mahmud Shammam, official in charge of
information; Ali al-Tarhuni, official in charge of oil and treasury; and
Abd al-Rahman Shalqam, adviser to the chairman of the Executive Council,
accusing them of monopolizing the decision-making process relating to
financial and health sectors and other services.
The importance of shaykh Al-Salabi's attack on the Executive Council's
members derives from the fact that it was published on the front page of
Al-Jazeera Net, which is published in the Qatari capital Doha, the
country that offered the bulk of support and backing to the Libyan
uprising. This may demonstrate that the attack was directed at the NTC
from the host country of the Free Libya Television, particularly because
since its launch, this Qatari-funded television network has largely
ignored the Libyan Islamists, primarily shaykh Al-Saslabi himself. In
addition, this television has rarely conducted interviews with Libyan
Islamists according to many of their sources.
The demonstrations staged by hundreds of liberals in Tripoli against
shaykh Al-Salabi's statement, a phenomenon that is unfamiliar and
untimely, perhaps reflect the magnitude of the major rift, which we have
already discussed, and the possibilities of its turning into bloody
clashes between the two warring parties.
In a statement published by the conservative British paper The Daily
Telegraph yesterday, NATO's Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen took
sides with the Libyan liberals and, at the same time, echoed NATO's
concern about the danger of Libya falling into the hands of Islamist
extremists unless a stable government is formed as quickly as possible.
In our view, the NTC has committed major mistakes, the most conspicuous
of which has been its conceited and arrogant conduct, not only towards
the Libyan Islamists, who bore the heaviest burden in the rebellion
against the deposed dictatorial regime, but also towards Libya's
neighbouring countries, such as Algeria and Egypt, and even a
superpower, China, accusing them of supporting Al-Qadhafi. Certain
members of the NTC and its supporters went so far as to use racist
language, not only against the dark-skinned Libyan nationals, but also
against Africans, on the pretext that deposed Colonel Al-Qadhafi used
African mercenaries.
A mentality that is characterized by such arrogance, conceit, hostile
attitude towards others, and that excludes the Libyan forces that made
major sacrifices in the battlefield to remove the dictatorial regime, is
difficult to lead the country. It is difficult for an elite group with
such mentality to lay the foundations of a democratic state and of a
fair independent judicial system, or achieve national reconciliation
that will fulfil the aspirations of millions of Libyans for a state of
institutions, equality, and good relations with neighbouring countries.
The fact that most neighbouring countries, like Algeria, Niger, Mali,
and Chad, as well as some 20 African countries, primarily South Africa,
still hesitate to recognize the NTC, is a case in point.

Al-Sharq al-Awsat has really been pushing the fear of
Islamists-in-Libya line
Tensions rise as Islamists demand half of new Libyan government posts -
Excerpt from report by Saudi-owned leading pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq
al-Awsat website on 15 September
[Report by Khalid Mahmud in Cairo: "Libya: Tension Between Transitional
Council and Islamists Rise Following Their Demand for Half the
Ministerial Portfolios. Feltman: Washington Optimistic About Council's
Increased Control of Security Forces"]
The political and military scene in Libya yesterday entered a new stage
amid calls for a one-million-strong demonstration in support of the
Transitional National Council [NTC], which is opposed to fugitive
Colonel Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi, against the violent criticisms and fierce
campaign demanding the resignation of its senior officials.
While the NTC and revolutionaries, who are struggling to restore life to
normal in the capital Tripoli, wait for Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Libya as the first one of this kind by a
foreign official, NTC officials have told Al-Sharq al-Awsat that the
rise in tension between Dr Mahmud Jibril, chairman of the NTC's
Executive Bureau, and Islamists has started to cast negative shadows on
the government that Jibril is occupied in forming and expected to be
announced next week. The officials pointed out that pro-Muslim
Brotherhood figures and regiments from the armed revolutionaries of
Islamic orientation want to have half of the ministerial portfolios to
be shared equally between them while a prominent leader from the armed
Islamists told Al-Sharq al-Awsat that his forces should have a political
role in the coming stage but refrained to give any further details.
Dr Jibril, who last week threatened to resign, appears to have no
intention of yielding to these pressures under any conditions according
to a source close to him which talked to Al-Sharq al-Awsat.
NTC Chairman Counsellor Mustafa Abd-al-Jalil prepared for his talks
today with the Turkish prime minister following the first talks he held
yesterday with Jeffrey Feltman, the US assistant secretary of state for
Near Eastern affairs. Sources from the revolutionaries told Al-Sharq
al-Awsat that the US envoy stressed to Abd-al-Jalil the readiness of US
President Barack Obama's administration to help the NTC administer the
country's affairs during the transitional period of 18 months, adding
that Abd-al-Jalil demanded in return from Washington the release of the
frozen Libyan funds in American banks.
Feltman praised the NTC and announced that Washington was optimistic
about the NTC's increased control of the security forces and that it
would open its embassy in Tripoli as soon as possible. [Passage omitted
on Feltman's news conference, NTC envoy Abd-al-Mun'im al-Huni's news
conference in Cairo, statement by NTC's Mahmud Shammam, and Al-Qadhafi's

smh.com.au: Having cleaned up in the ATM market, two Melbourne businessmen are at it again, this time with DVD vending machines.
Clive Mazin and Mervyn Kark founded ATM Solutions Australasia, an independent ATM supplier, which Bank of Queensland bought in 2003 for $16 million (approximately U.S. $12.6 million).
Their new franchise, Movies24, was established by business partner Michael Marcus, who brought the Nando's Chicken franchise to Australia 14 years ago.
Movies24 aims to roll out the machines - which resemble freestanding ATMs - in service stations, supermarkets and apartment blocks.
Marcus said a similar concept had been successful in Europe and the United States, with hospitals, train stations, restaurants and supermarkets adopting the technology.
"After placing a trial order for 130 machines, McDonald's in America has now ordered 13,000 units to cover all of its stores in the U.S.," he said.
Marcus said the company, established seven months ago, would use some of the distribution channels established by ATM Solutions to sell the machines.

Cowboys Baller Orlando Scandrick Suspended for Failing Drug Test
Having already lost his girlfriend, Draya Michele, just a few days ago, the Dallas Cowboy just received even more bad news and this time it will hurt his pockets. According to sources, Orlando's been suspended after testing positive for molly. The cornerback failed a surprise mandatory drug test in April just days after returning from Mexico with Draya, which put him in violation of the NFL's drug policy. Due to the violation, the league has suspended the seven-year vet for four games, resulting in a loss of $1 million plus his signing bonus repayment. It has been a rocky year for him so far and we hope he takes this as a lesson learned and is able to move on.

(Updates with comment from minister in second paragraph.)
Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Zimbabwe approved plans by 38 mining companies to sell majority stakes in their local operations to black citizens, according to Saviour Kasukuwere, the government minister in charge of the program.
"I am pleased to say that the deadline we set out has been met by all major mining companies," he told reporters today in the capital, Harare.
Kasukuwere, the minister of youth development and economic empowerment, said his ministry is still "trying to address" proposals from the country's banking industry.
Standard Chartered Plc, Barclays Plc and South Africa's Standard Bank Group Ltd. are still to either submit plans or have their proposals approved, he said.

"Elegantly written, psychologically and historically astute."-Los Angeles Times Book ReviewFrom scholar to buccaneer, from outcast to establishment figure, John Donne emerged as one of the greatest English poets. Following Donne from Plague-ridden streets to palaces, from taverns to the pulpit of St Paul's, John Stubbs's "exemplary literary biography" (Harold Bloom) is a vivid portrait of an extraordinary writer and his country at a time of bewildering and cruel transformation.

From investing in air service to laying down fiber-optic cable, candidates who, if elected, would sit on the State Loan and Investment Board said smaller communities could diversify and economically expand with some help.
SLIB is made up of Wyoming's top five elected officials: the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, state auditor and superintendent of public instruction.
Sixteen incumbents and challengers from the Republican, Democratic and Constitution parties are running for one of the top five offices.
SLIB can approve a variety of grants and loans that can help Wyoming communities through programs administered by Wyoming Business Council staff members.
The WBC provides assistance that ranges from funding grants to help communities and their economic development organizations create a plan to attract businesses in the first place, to financing publicly owned infrastructure to serve the needs of business or attract companies.
It also has a program to help communities preserve old schoolhouses and government facilities to become community centers, said Ron Gullberg, spokesman for the business council.
Examples of funding include public infrastructure such as water, sewer, streets and roads; airports; rights of way; telecommunications; land; spec buildings; amenities in a business park, industrial park, industrial site or business district; landscaping; recreation and educational facilities; and other physical projects in support of primary economic and educational development, he said.
But the money isn't magically endowed on a community. Communities and their economic development associations must approach business council staff members, work on applications for projects and apply for the money before the entire business council.
The business council can recommend grants and loans to cities, towns, counties, joint powers boards and tribes but not directly to companies, Gullberg said.
Business council recommendations are forwarded to SLIB, but SLIB doesn't always rubber-stamp them. At the last SLIB meeting, for instance, it rejected the business council's recommendation for partial funding for a project in Afton, instead funding it in full.
Candidates in competitive races shared their views on how they could and couldn't help smaller communities achieve economic expansion and diversity.
Jennifer Young, Constitution Party candidate for secretary of state, and Sheryl Lain, Republican state superintendent candidate, said they would forward answers to the Star-Tribune but did not.
Gubernatorial candidate Cindy Hill recommended that people read her "Red Book 2" document on her website to understand her ideas.
Gov. Matt Mead, seeking re-election as a Republican: Mead's spokesman, Renny MacKay, said there has been expansion and diversification under the governor's leadership and Mead will continue to support that.
The technology sector is expanding, "for example, Ptolemy in Sheridan, UL in Laramie, Silver Star in Afton, Eleutian in Cody, Square 1 in Jackson and Mountain West Technology Networks in Casper," MacKay said in an email. "There has been growth in manufacturing in Gillette, Laramie, Sheridan, Riverton, Cody, Powell, Evanston, Cheyenne and other communities. Examples include High Country Fabrication in Gillette, HiViz in Laramie, VacuTech in Sheridan, Legacy Molding in Riverton, and North Star in Evanston.
"All of these have meant more jobs and more opportunities in new sectors and growing sectors for people across Wyoming."
Taylor Haynes, Republican, governor: "I think working on modern infrastructure, not just road and bridges but complete infrastructure, so a city and town can attract the industries. A key is information technology or fiber. I think we should run fiber through all of our cities and towns, and then the opportunity for various companies to connect would be there."
Pete Gosar, Democrat, governor: "I think SLIB could help with infrastructure. I think some of these small communities have real infrastructure needs. Maybe they can take a look at finding a way to get those local business that are already producing goods and services, give them some opportunity to promote or market their product on a regional or national level (through the University of Wyoming Market Research Center).
Small businesses are the real job creators in Wyoming and in the United States. So we should support that wherever we can with the SLIB board, business council, Market Research (Center) and all those things that can help small businesses be successful."
Ed Buchanan, Republican, secretary of state: "I think each geographic area seeks to attract certain businesses based on their unique niche in the marketplace. For Goshen County, we have an agricultural-based economy and seek to utilize our resources based on the raw products available for our area.
We have promoted the use of things like grain and straw to promote the construction and expansion of an ethanol plant, as well as a company that produced a lumber-like material out of straw and plastic. ... As secretary of state, I would strive to become educated regarding a rural community's niche products and market strengths so that I could fairly and objectively evaluate their funding requests."
Pete Illoway, Republican, secretary of state: "If I were secretary of state, I'd like to see us to be able to see these outlying counties. (For instance) Big Horn, if they're asking for a certain amount of money and they have a hard time spending the money to come down to Cheyenne, is to do closed-circuit (television) or Skype."
Ed Murray, Republican, secretary of state: "Let me point out my 11,000 miles I've spent so far has been about a listening campaign to understand and respond to the local towns and communities and their needs. ... It doesn't matter where we are in the state -- it can be north, south, east or west -- there's a strong concern in our smaller communities that they're being ignored by the state in their needs for funding and the predictability of funding.
So as a member of the SLIB, I will be a strong voice and advocate for investment in our local communities that will help or improve infrastructure development, workforce development and quality of life, all of which are the building blocks for economic growth and diversification and business."
Clark Stith, Republican, secretary of state: "In general, I think it's the proper role of government to make investments where the market would not otherwise adequately invest (such as old main streets.) ... There's an appropriate role for the State Loan and Investment Board to play for investing in infrastructure projects that benefit cities and towns.
So I strongly support those types of projects that are designed to make communities business-ready, but what I'm against is corporate welfare. I'm against picking winners and losers. You don't pass an old friend to make a new one."
Mark Gordon, Republican incumbent, treasurer: "From the point of view of the SLIB, what we do is lots of infrastructure projects and so on to help them, and I think we'll continue doing that.
You know, the business council has a number of programs that they try to foster economic development in small communities, but you know, what's really going to make a difference there is helping entrepreneurs get started. ... A lot of it is just trying to foster good entrepreneurs to try to provide them with good tools and support (such as teaching small business owners how to write business plans).
One of the biggest issues we have in Wyoming for economic development, which is going to be a big challenge, is good air service. That's one area where the state may have to spend a little more effort on."
Ron Redo, Republican, treasurer: "I would basically say that (money) should be fairly distributed on a basis of population, partly. I realize some communities have unusual problems and might need more help. I would have to say (grants) would have to be evaluated pretty carefully how it's done."
Jillian Balow, Republican, superintendent of public instruction: "As state superintendent and SLIB member, I will be in communities talking about infrastructure, project needs and desires, etc. Communities with infrastructure to support and desire to have can vie for projects.
This takes planning and coordination at the local level and with the state. SLIB members have a responsibility to know what communities want large projects and work with them on infrastructure so they can vie for larger or new projects."
Mike Ceballos, Democrat, superintendent of public instruction: "If (communities or economic development boards) are sitting down to say, 'We've got a business that we'd like to come here' or 'We'd like to attract this type of business; we need to develop a business park,' then ... I think as a state elected official, you would be trying to help them, directing them to the right places. Share your expertise.
The blessing is I've done that. ... I was on the LEADS board from (the late 1990s) through 2011. I was state president for Qwest. (Qwest) would assist any community and had assisted Casper in the past, if they could call in for information they needed.
Most often if a community is trying to recruit a business, then they need help in (telecommunications) infrastructure."
Bill Winney, Republican, superintendent of public instruction: "I look at small communities, and my take on that is first you need to look for grants, just because they don't have a tax base (for loans). Then you look at, well, what kind of industries or businesses you could put in there. Certainly the Internet would be part of that."
