I did stewed tomatoes last summer, all corect procedures, processing, acidulation, etc. The contents of the jars look fine, but now I am noticing some small patches of fuzzy mold on the OUTSIDE of the jars, up around where the rings would have been, but not onto the lid itself. They have been stored in a basement root cellar, never gets above 65 degrees. Is this a biohazard, or if I wipe off the outside with a bleach solution are they safe to use? I hate to loose them, but they aren't worth dieing over! |

I'm assuming there was some minor siphoning during the canning process. Did you wash and dry the jars before storage? It's very important to be sure rings are removed and jars are clean before shelving. Carol |
I always rinse off my jars after they have cooled. Usually such thngs dissolve in the boiling water bath, unless there was some contamination leaking into the water from the jars. You can rinse and wipe off with a weak solution of water and a little bleach. I must assume that the lids were new and and are all concave with the button indented in the center, which indicates a vacuum inside. |

I would just wipe it off with a bleach solution, as you suggested. I used to have this problem frequently with my canned whole tomatoes (PC processed). While I don't think it's dangerous, it is certainly not desirable. Now, after my jars have rested overnight, I remove the rings and give each jar a "bath" in a bleach solution as mentioned above. Let the solution dry, date the lid and store in a cool, dry place. Since I have been doing this, no fuzzy mold! |
Thanks to all for the info. I am continually amazed by the amount of good, usable advice and KNOWLEDGE on this site!! Thanks again. Steve |
I agree, wipe them off with a weak bleach solution and they should be fine. I always take the rings off my jars before storage and wipe them well to present mold and because if I leave the rings on they seem to "cement" themselves to the jars or rust and I can't get 'em off! good thing that's what the instructions say I should do. Plus, I reuse those rings several times during a canning season. Annie |

I think this is a great system however should be elaborated on a little bit. Obviously not saying we should allow people that are CLEAR members to just fly through security without being checked but there is some more room for expansion. With all of the experiences I have with flying and security (once a week or more), there is need for a better system. On Friday i flew to orlando and waited in line at security for like an hour. In that time, they realized that one of the metal detectors was not working properly, so all of the people that went through were really not being scanned because it was on "TEST" mode.
YOU MAY remember CLEAR from its earlier incarnation, before bankruptcy forced its closure in June 2009. The company, which specialises in biometric identity verification for airline passengers, rose again in November 2010 under new management, and is in operation at Denver and Orlando airports. At a time when "risk-based screening" (the use of intelligence and behaviour assessment to give each passenger a tailor-made security screening) is on the agenda after the decision of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to roll out a test programme in the autumn, CLEAR's modus operandi is worth an examination.
The TSA's announcement attracted a furore, with some travellers inferring that the rich would be able to buy their way to a pleasanter security experience, while the poor would still face full-body pat-downs. CLEAR, it should be said, is not involved in this: at the airports where it operates, members put their cards in the kiosk and confirm their identity with a fingerprint or iris scan before moving on to the same security screening as all other passengers.
The biometric identification essentially replaces the role of the Transportation Security Officer (TSO). Bennet Waters, who spent four years working for the Department of Homeland Security, including one year with the TSA, is the president of CLEAR. He explained how the system works.
"The TSO uses a flashlight or some other means to attempt to verify the identification document [passport or driver's licence]," he said, "and then they make a subjective determination between you and the document: are you the person depicted? Thirdly they will compare the name on the boarding pass to the name on the identification document. We have automated that process and we have used biometrics to take the subjectivity out of it."
Mr Waters says that CLEAR membership, for an annual fee of $179, allows his customers to manage their time more effectively, since they don't have to allow for a potentially lengthy queue.
"In our experience the longest portion of the wait is not in the physical screening process, it's in the queue to get there," he says. By contrast, using CLEAR lanes takes 30-45 seconds from start to finish.
Verifying a passenger's identity is a core part of risk-based screening. After all it's no good using some fantastic piece of intelligence to put Joe Bloggs on the no-fly list if he's able to walk through security with a driver's licence that says he's John Doe. But Mr Waters reckons companies like CLEAR have another role to play in improving aviation security. The commercial data to which private companies have access, but which government entities like the TSA are not allowed to use in their risk assessments, can be vital—especially when dealing with individuals who have not previously attracted the government's interest ("clean skins").
"The clean-skin operator tends to live off the grid, in relative anonymity," Mr Waters says. "They tend not to use credit cards; they tend not to use the same cell phone for very long; they tend not to establish or maintain creditworthiness; they tend to pay cash, to move around a bit, etc. These are things that the private sector, using commercially available data, can assess about an individual. The government, at least in the US, cannot get into those data elements because of privacy restrictions."
An assessment combining commercially available data and government data would certainly provide the fullest picture of the level of security screening each passenger needs. What will worry some people is how those two data sets are combined and who owns the process.
Mr Waters is confident it would work. "The government doesn't know what the private sector knows about travellers and the private sector doesn't know what the government knows," he says. "If you look at some combination of government data and commercially available data in a platform that keeps the data segregated and provides for the appropriate firewalls for privacy protection, you can begin to build a more fulsome picture of a traveller's relative risk to aviation security."
With such a system in place, a company like CLEAR could look at your "residential history, your work history, your credit-worthiness, how long you have been known to the commercial-data world" and then pass on to the TSA a judgment as to whether you are low-, medium- or high-risk. The TSA would use this assessment to work out how to screen you; it would not have access the original data itself.
If the TSA decides to go down the risk-based-screening route, then it does sound reasonable, if somewhat complicated, for a private company to help by applying commercially available data to the task. After all, the aim of a modern aviation-security procedure is to locate bad people, rather than bad things. But it would certainly give privacy campaigners something to worry about.

Accessibility for icons in ALV Grid Cell

Recently, I used ALV Grid in my development. I used Traffic Light Icons to display conformance with some parameters.
But to my surprise, the tooltip for these icons was missing in both sapgui and webgui.
However, there is one way by which you can force tooltip to appear in webgui. Here is the code:
include <icon>. Data: g_icon_conform type iconname. * Green Traffic Light Icon for Conformance g_icon_conform = icon_green_light+0(3). CONCATENATE g_icon_conform 'Q' text-cnf icon_green_light+3(1) into g_icon_conform. Note: 1) text-cnf is 'conform' in this case. 2) The id for Icon_green_light icon is ' --> @', so we are forcing it to '@08QConform@'. This text 'Conform' will be displayed as tooltip whenever g_icon_conform is assigned to some alv grid field.

Intel's New Desktop SSD Is an Overclocked Server Drive
samzenpus posted about a year ago | from the new-kid-in-class dept.
111crookedvulture writes "Most of Intel's recent desktop SSDs have followed a familiar formula. Combine off-the-shelf controller with next-gen NAND and firmware tweaks. Rinse. Repeat. The new 730 Series is different, though. It's based on Intel's latest datacenter SSD, which combines a proprietary controller with high-endurance NAND. In the 730 Series, these chips are clocked much higher than their usual speeds. The drive is fully validated to run at the boosted frequencies, and it's rated to endure at least 70GB of writes per day over five years. As one might expect, though, this hot-clocked server SSD is rather pricey for a desktop model. It's slated to sell for around $1/GB, which is close to double the cost of more affordable options. And the 730 Series isn't always faster than its cheaper competition. Although the drive boasts exceptional throughput with random I/O, its sequential transfer rates are nothing special."

Any help would be great. I have a Cream stout that has been in the primary, thinking of adding espresso to it, and from my understanding, I should brew it as I was gonna drink it, add it to the secondary, siphon from the primary and let sit for 1 week. Well, How much brewed espresso should i shoot for? any thoughts on infusing the espresso with maybe a vanilla bean or maybe some hazelnut flavor? Thanks for your help in advance.
Mmmmm hazelnut. I was thinking of doing this soon as I'm still working from kits and there doesn't seem to be much out there for coffee stouts. There's a few threads with some good info if you search coffee in the secondary but there's so many and so much varying advice. Sounds like cold steeping the coffee is the way to go? maybe? maybe not? I hate to add questions to someone else's thread, especially without having answers to any of the ones already provide. But assuming comcast doesn't mind the slight hijack/addition, information regarding how long the various methods of adding coffee end up needing to mellow out would be greatly appreciated.

The Sweetest Adoption Ceremony Photos
I think adoption is truly beautiful. It is something that I hope to be able to be a part of one day through adopting a child of our own and something that I love seeing others do. Recently my friend Jenna and her husband Stephen went through the adoption process and I loved seeing their journey from afar via Facebook. It was so sweet seeing photos of them bringing home their sweet, little Bennett and watching them grow into a little family. A few weeks ago the process was finalized and they "officially" became Bennett's parents forever and they had photographer Sarah Williams there to capture their sweet adoption ceremony; a lovely idea and something I hadn't seen before. Even though they had already been parents for months, I thought this was a sweet way to commemorate their journey of adoption and they were gracious enough to let me share some of the photos here with you all.

Hi All,
I potted a butterfly bush in the fall and brought it indoors to escape the frigid Minnesota winter. Much to my dismay, the bush was being DEVOURED recently...and the temp outside has been below zero until the last couple days. I moved the plant upstairs in the bathtub and tonight, ran in and threw on the lights....and there they were!!!! Found 6 and disposed of them. I'm assuming they hatched in the soil and hid in the soil during daylight. What are they???? |

They are weevils, a type of beetle. They typically make notches on leaf edges, but given just one plant to eat, they may destroy entire leaves. I would think a few nights of keeping after them would reduce the population to zero. Weevils do hang out in soil at the base of plants. Often they will notch the leaves of one plant while adjacent plants remain uneaten. Perhaps you have seen such notched plants in your yard. |

Thanks Larry, it sounds like the weevils will be a pretty easy problem to solve (if it's not solved already) I never imagined there could be garden pests in Minnesota...in February! |

One more question about weevils...are the garden variety usually bigger than the kind found in home? These little suckers were easily 3/4" long. Or were they just extra "fat and happy" from the butterfly bush? |
- Posted by larry_gene z8_Sunset6_OR (My Page) on Sun, Feb 13, 11 at 23:46
There are many species of weevils, they can very greatly in size. Your all-black weevil looks similar to the ones common around here that may be 3/4" long if you include the antennae. The size of the adult weevil would depend on how "fat and happy" it was in the grub stage, not on what it was eating as an adult. In the outdoor garden, many people apply sticky tape or substances to the base of the plant that prevent the weevil from ascending. |

The Axis Communications T8641 Ethernet over Coax Base PoE+ Adapter enables camera installers to keep the legacy coax cabling when converting an analog system into digital. It delivers standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) and centrally-sourced power with no new cables required.
Axis T8641 is an ideal choice for installation of network cameras where coax cables are already present and may be very long or inaccessible. For ease of installation and guaranteed performance, it features an intuitive LED display, which gives confirmation of network and power status via the cable, with no need to access remote equipment to check connections.
This adapter can be used in those installations that require PoE transmission over 328' (100 m). A full-rate network connection is delivered over maximum cable ranges that far exceed most recommended distances for analog video installation, so conversion of all legacy coaxial cable types is predictable and reliable.
The base unit receives PoE power and transmits it down the coax. An optional power supply can be used if PoE is not available or if higher power for the network camera is needed.

oh so bored
hobbies, mainly football
Hi, I'm Calum. I love astronomy, chess and computer games as well as football, climbing and badminton. I'm a sporty person and a keen supporter of West Ham United Football Club. I've met Mark Noble (a West Ham centre midfielder) and have a picture of myself and him shaking hands outside the mighty Boleyn Ground.
When I'm older, I want to be a research astronomer. I have had a keen interest in astronomy since I first knew about it and it has grown and grown ever since. I recently did a research project on the habitabilty of exoplanets orbiting M-type dwarfs (ask for more information, I have 5000 words on it!) and I'm currently doing one on the atmospheres of the Solar System planets. My main interest in astronomy is the atmospheres of exoplanets. No idea why they fascinate me though, maybe something to do with possible habitability.
I think my chess life started at about the age of 8 when my two friends played chess at my primary school. That has also grown and grown on me. Since then I entered the London Chess Classic minor section and won it (along with £125) and also play for my county (Bucks) and have entered tournaments as far as Wales.

DA investigating former officer, ACET member
Friday, November 13, 2009
The 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office is investigating a former Craig Police Department officer and All Crimes Enforcement Team task force member for an incident regarding $500 in lost ACET funds.
Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta said officer Bob Brabo resigned Nov. 5 after an internal investigation revealed he violated internal department policies.
The Police Department first received a report Oct. 27 that Brabo lost $500 in drug buy money and started its investigation immediately, which Vanatta said is normal for any report of lost property.
Since then, Brabo has repaid the lost funds in full, and there is no unaccounted for ACET property, the chief added.
"There was an allegation made that he violated department policies, and we investigated those and found the allegations sustained, and he resigned in lieu of termination," Vanatta said.
The chief added that he could not disclose the specifics of the investigation because it is a personnel matter, but said the department has a policy similar to a state statute that prevents someone from using public property for personal use.
Whether the property is used knowingly or by accident is immaterial to the state law and the Police Department's policy, Vanatta said.
The internal investigation did not find conclusive evidence of any criminal actions, he added, but the case was referred to the District Attorney's Office to proceed with a criminal investigation and charges, if appropriate.
District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham said her office has notified area attorneys that Brabo resigned after a police investigation.
If necessary, she said she will disclose all information about Brabo to past and current defendants, like her office did following its investigation of former Craig Police Detective Ken Johnson.
Johnson, who also was an ACET task force member, was arrested and charged with attempting to influence a public servant, a Class 4 felony; and accessory to crime and embezzlement of public property, both Class 5 felonies.
He is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. today in Moffat County District Court.
All of Johnson's charges stem from alleged misconduct during his time as a police officer and ACET member, and a reported sexual relationship he had with Craig resident Tausha Merwin.
Merwin previously was convicted of drug charges and was on probation for additional drug charges during her reported relationship with Johnson.
Brabo was selected in March to replace Johnson on the ACET task force, however the investigations involving the two men are completely separate, Vanatta said.
Brabo's actions and the ongoing investigation could impact one or two existing cases he was in charge of before his resignation, ACET Commander Garrett Wiggins said.
However, those cases are continuing without Brabo's involvement, he added.
Despite two of his officers resigning amid recent internal and criminal investigations, Wiggins said he does not believe ACET has been compromised or that the supervision of its officers should be in question.
"We've had some problem employees," he said. "I think anybody who knows all of the specifics about these individuals and their credibility and what happened with these certain individuals knows it's not really ACET's fault. ACET gets these employees from certain departments. I don't really have any say-so in who I get."
Wiggins added that he is looking forward to a Colorado Bureau of Investigation inquiry of ACET's policies and procedures scheduled to begin Monday.
Local law enforcement requested the inquiry to help them strengthen the task force.
Everything always can be improved, Wiggins said, and ACET and the community can only benefit from the CBI's involvement.
Vanatta said the task force is vital to Northwest Colorado and curtailing the local drug trade.
"It provides a resource that individually each individual agency could not provide," he said. "Does it need some tweaking, and do we need to maybe reevaluate how we're doing it? Absolutely."

The truth is that the world is becoming more corrupt, and even though it would be nice, law enforcement is not immune. I can attest to honest men and women at our PD. It takes the best at the top to put integrity above everything, including the brotherhood that is reasonalbly and understandably formed by those in law enforcement.

Obviously you aren't around youth much are you sledhead004. Have you ever been in the park in the summer and looked under the bridges, have you ever been to Woodbury or Loudy Simpson and looked in the culverts, have you ever drove by a church here in the summer and seen a man laying on the grass or table? Do you know where the money is going or are you just commenting on something you know nothing about?
sledhead004 5 years, 2 months ago
eieiolrighty, I'm just saying I would like to see public record and what the money is being used, not only in this situation but others as well.
5thgencraig 5 years, 2 months ago
daybyday - you are correct that the world is becoming more corrupt - and there are decent law abiding citizens AND law enforcement officers out there that really are trying to do their part to get a handle on the situation. I sure wish more people have these same views as you and I!!!
aPerspective - I'd like to know from you why dredging up the past continually makes any difference in PRESENT DAY problems. All of the above people you mentioned have paid for their wrong doings - in many more ways than you will ever imagine! You should take a step back and realize and remember that people are human. Rather than letting the past stay the past - you and many others bring these things up but forget to realize that the hurt of the families involved with these people comes right back up to center stage. These families live with the shame, the hurt, the pain of these past events every day - its something that they can't get ahead of in our small town. Please take this into account the next time you or anybody else would like to brinig it up again - and yes, I'm one of those family members that gets hurt all over again every single time the past comes back to the present.
oldsage 5 years, 2 months ago
These things form the past should be brought up often and at every opportunity because that is what keeps those in command and control now, (Leos and elected officials) from committing similar crimes and infractions. Horse thieves were hung not so much for the horse they stole but so other horses would not be stolen! They knew they were doing wrong when they did the dirty deed and did not care one bit about their reputation or how their actions would impact friends and family members! Stop the "it's so sad they paid in so many ways, stop mentioning it because it hurts them crap" because they knew exactly what they were doing and what the consequences of their actions would be if the truth came to light!
sledhead004 5 years, 2 months ago
Very well said oldsage. There is alot of things that happen in our community that get covered up. Law enforcement and all those involved with the sheriffs department, city officials, county officials etc. are human and know exactly what they are doing and should have to pay the price just as anyone else would if they commit a crime. There also is some very good people in these positions though too. This may be part of the reason for some of these cover ups that happen or could have possibly already happened.
daybyday 5 years, 2 months ago
5thgen, yes, we could post a long list of all the good things that LE has done for this community, but it would be impossibly lengthy. The truth is that none of us are righteous, not one. There's knowledge to be gained in each misstep or mistake, and some are huge and lifechanging, while others seem barely notable. It's possible that, by being hurt, you have learned the value of forgiveness in a way you could not have known before. Think of it as a gift. The value in the gift
of your new depth of understanding is that it can live on and be useful to others. It can't be taken away from you by anyone posting here or anyone else in this town or any other.
eieiolrighty 5 years, 2 months ago
I believe that organizations should publish how they spend their money too. I guess we would have to go their board meetings to find out. Unfortunately money seems to be getting stolen more and more around here. They should never leave one person in control of soo much money....

All-New 2016 Honda Pilot SUV to Make Debut at 2015 Canadian International Auto Show Markham, ON (January 21, 2015) – A completely re-engineered and redesigned Honda Pilot SUV will make its debut at the 2015 Canadian International Auto Show on February 12. The all-new, eight-passenger Pilot SUV will raise the stakes in the mainstream three-row SUV segment with new technology, advanced safety, improved fuel economy and enhanced family utility and versatility. The new Pilot represents a dramatic shift in design, while showcasing new standout technologies, versatility, and dynamics currently unavailable in the mainstream SUV segment. The redesigned Pilot SUV will further augment a Honda light truck lineup that includes the recently redesigned Canadian-made Honda CR-V and the all-new Honda HR-V crossover, launching this spring. The original Honda Pilot was introduced in 2002 as the first mainstream eight-passenger SUV to feature car-like unitized body construction, delivering more refined driving dynamics, better fuel economy and superior cabin space in a family-oriented sport-utility vehicle.
Some caption
All-new 2016 Honda HR-V crossover makes North American debut at 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Who says you can't have it all? The all-new 2016 Honda HR-V crossover, unveiled at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, blends the styling of a coupe, the toughness, space and utility of a SUV and the quality of a Honda in one sporty, personal and versatile multi-dimensional vehicle. The well-equipped HR-V, launching at Honda dealerships across Canada next spring, will enter the fast-growing entry crossover market with dynamic yet refined exterior styling, fun-to-drive performance, anticipated class-leading fuel economy ratings and unmatched interior spaciousness and cabin versatility. More space, like magic. As your needs change, so can the HR-V. It offers one of the most spacious and versatile cabins in its class. Using its unique platform design with a centre-mounted fuel tank and reconfigurable second-row Magic Seat®, the completely new HR-V has interior space to spare along with a flexible cabin featuring multiple seating/cargo modes. With 2,835 litres of passenger volume (LX) and 1,665 litres of cargo volume with the second-row seats down, the HR-V has space to rival some competitors' compact SUV offerings. Coupe-like style. Ride in style. The HR-V's dynamic appearance and sporty, solid stance is aided by its coupe-like cabin shape and bold, powerful face. It's complemented by distinctive side contours, including a sharply upswept character line, deeply sculpted lower body form and the strong horizontal taper of both the front and rear fascia. Concealed rear door handles further enhance its coupe-like appearance. Premium on the inside. Surround yourself with refinement. The HR-V's sporty and sophisticated interior features an expansive, airy cockpit with an abundance of soft-touch materials and premium detailing, punctuated by precise bezels, sophisticated stitch lines and upmarket brushed chrome and piano black highlights - all fitting its mission as a youthful yet refined personal crossover vehicle. The driver's instrument cluster features "floating" illumination rings and Honda's ECO AssistTM feature, wherein the speedometer illumination changes from blue to green, depending on the fuel efficiency of the driver's vehicle operation. Ready to respond. You'll have plenty of get up and go when you need it. Power comes from a responsive 1.8-litre SOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine with i-VTEC® valvetrain and dual-stage intake manifold, producing a peak 138 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 127 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,300 rpm (both SAE net).

All-new Honda Ridgeline Pickup to Debut Within Two Years • Design sketch reveals styling direction for Next-Gen Honda truck • Current Ridgeline production will end mid-2014 Markham, ON. – Dec. 10, 2013 – An all-new Honda Ridgeline pickup truck will come to the Canadian market in less than two years and, today, Honda shared a sketch expressing the new truck's styling direction. Honda also confirmed that production of the current Ridgeline built exclusively by Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, LLC, in Lincoln, Alabama, will conclude in mid-2014. Like the innovative first-generation model that earned 2006 Truck of the Year by Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) and 2006 North American Truck of the Year honors after its spring 2005 debut, the next-gen Ridgeline is being designed and developed by Honda R&D Americas, Inc. at its Los Angeles and Ohio R&D centers. The Honda Ridgeline broke new ground in the Canadian pickup market with its unique design featuring a spacious five-passenger cabin, smooth ride and handling, and half-ton truck capability. The first truck of its kind to be built on a closed-box unibody platform, the Ridgeline introduced innovative new features to the pickup segment, such as its large In-Bed Trunk® and dual-action tailgate.

The Honda FCEV Concept also delivers ample passenger space and seating for 5-passengers thanks to new powertrain packaging efficiencies. Next Generation Honda Fuel Cell-Electric Vehicle Honda's next generation fuel cell-electric vehicle launching in 2015 will feature the world's first application of a fuel-cell powertrain packaged completely in the engine room of the vehicle, allowing for efficiencies in cabin space as well as flexibility in the potential application of FC technology to multiple vehicle types in the future.
Think sub-compact vehicles can't do it all? Think again. Introducing the GEAR Concept Study Model. With a simple, clean design inspired by fixed-gear bicycles, it represents a completely new way of looking at sub-compact vehicles. GEAR was designed to meet the demands of younger drivers living in the city. It's compact and stylish, while still being functional and fun to drive. Simply put, it embodies everything you could ask for from a sub-compact, while sporting a unique design you'd be thrilled to drive. This concept is currently not slated for production.
Yes, I would like Honda Canada to send me information about other Honda vehicles and general upcoming products and promotions.

This natural reserve is located between the jungle provinces of Napo and Pastaza in Ecuador. This national park is the largest natural reserve of Ecuador, with an extension of 982,000 hectares (2,425.540 acres). Because of its unique and mega diverse ecosystem, UNESCO named the Yasuni National Park a Biosphere Reserve in 1989. Several lagoons and swamps within this reserve are home to species of animals with a high degree of endemism.

I'm sure most of us on other threads at sometime felt like outcasts for planning a full agenda & have been critized negatively, That is not the case here! Fellow Commando's can help each other to fulfill their plans, instead of putting what you would like to do down! If you are mild or extreme, or even a beginner, This is a place where you can kick off your boots and relax while planning your trip, share Commando adventures & strategies, but most of all have some fun doing what you enjoy!

( MaMudduck) |
Sadly, I am the commando of the group. As soon as the reservations are made I make a "down-to-the-minute" agenda for each day, including meals.
Usually, I have to become a little flexible cause the DH and youngest DD start pooting out before lunch. Then I feed them ice cream and we are off again. What are you strategies? Can't wait to learn some new tricks. |
My husband is a committed commando. However, he doesn't plan one minute of our trips. All the best laid plans go out the window once he sets foot in a park. With no regard for what anyone else in the party wants, he's on to the next adventure:scared1:. Quickly. No time to waste. When someone has the audacity to go against his wishes, he pouts and becomes irritated. This is when we get to see who is "heir apparent":rolleyes1. I tend to go back to the hotel and prefer pool time. My youngest son (13) is of the same mindset as my husband. I wish them the best. We'll regroup for dinner.
Our last trip had to be the best (as far as plans were concerned). The two of them commandoed to their heart's content. We crisscrossed each morning in the parks. I was happy to take lots of pictures and check out the overlooked attractions. They were in thrill ride heaven. Nobody had to wait for anyone! The afternoons were spent by the pool with a book and a cocktail for me. Evenings included night time entertainment enjoyed together. Perfect day! |
Trying to NOT commando our next trip. Only 2 days allotted to WDW, but with park hoppers it COULD be done.......
...must resist! |
We leave in 2 days for WDW and I'm the planner. We always go in the summer and never wait very long for anything. You have to have a plan. My cousin is going to be touring with us for the first time and he told me he has his running shoes all ready to keep up with me. I laughed.:rotfl: We don't run. My plan is always get the big stuff done early, always have a FP, and then do your shopping and site seeing later in the day when the crowds pick up. You can get a lot done in the first few hours.
We can not wait. No one has been sleeping very well the last few nights because we are to excited.:woohoo: |
I've been trying to not go commando every trip since 1973.... I've only done it a couple times. Not that I plan every single minute because I don't but because I want to get up early and go to bed late so I don't miss one single minute of fun! We've been so many times and done so much and I still find myself running from place to place so I don't miss anything!! My kids have been so many times they give directions to their friends on the cell phones when they are down there.
Since my last visit was the SO's first trip to WDW, I went commando-style like never before. I regret it slightly, but would have regretted it more had we not covered everything I would have liked to do. Also, the calendar is a factor, and since this was mid-June, I planned for the worst.
I planned every meal and attraction down to the minute. And yeah, it exhausted me, but again... no regrets for this time of year - and this particular trip for a newbie visitor to the World. |
This is SO me. I'm a control freak, uber-organized planner, and the definition of a Type A personality...and a HUGE Disney fan since childhood. I'm headed back to Disney World for the first time in nearly 10 (!) years this August, and needless to say, my travel companions all know what that means! :goodvibes
I've read several guidebooks (including the Unofficial Guide) cover-to-cover, made ADRs months in advance, printed character maps and event schedules, and pretty much have every moment of our 12-day vacation in WDW, Universal, Sea World, Discovery Cove, and Busch Gardens mapped out. I'm traveling with my boyfriend and my sister, all in our early to mid-20s. We're theme park aficionados who NEVER take a mid-day break, but we're going to be there for rope drop (of course) and, with any luck, tackle the major attractions early in the morning so we can slow down and enjoy lots of indoor shows and air-conditioned rides during the hottest part of the day. I've scheduled one table service meal per day, and we're going to bring our own sandwiches, snacks, and water bottles to enjoy lunch and other breaks cheaply and expeditiously. I. CANNOT. WAIT. :cool1: |
Count me in I always walk around the park without undergarments.
I was this close to saying it. Darnit! |
I agree, but the strategy sharing hasn't really taken off yet. I'll start....#1 rule of going commando is.....what? Well I was gonna say arriving at the parks 1 hour early to ensure that you really are "at" the rope drop and starting your day off right....BUT....if we are starting chronologically, are we starting with packing our park bag the evening before and what to pack???? What's a good starting point?
We are commando first thing in the morning and then usually until lunch time when we switch to a more relaxed pace. I guess that we're part-time commandos.
As for packing a park bag, I solve that by not bringing one. Light wallet goes in one pocket and cell phone & tiny bottle of sunscreen goes in the other. I try to wear cargo shorts so I can carry what I want without a bag. We breeze right by the bag check area. |
Good to see there are so many other commandos out there! :rotfl:
We don't plan every minute of our trip in advance.... but only because we're so used to our strategy that we don't have to actually discuss the plan - everyone just KNOWS. :thumbsup2 It goes without saying that we will be at rope drop, and there's no debate about what any of our first 3-5 rides will be, lol. We follow the Unofficial Guide strategies in general and it has always served us well. We do generally take a break in the afternoons but my next trip is going to be just my sister and me, and - as the two "real" commandos of the group - we have decided to eliminate the breaks and just go full throttle all day, haha. It's more intense to go commando-style and I can understand why a lot of people, especially those who can visit WDW frequently, prefer to go slower and take it all in, but we don't visit anywhere near as much as we would like so we prefer to see and do as much as possible each trip. Going commando-style allows us to do so. I guess my biggest strategy tip I have to share is to be willing to abandon/change the plan if the situation demands it. It's all well and good to have a detailed plan, but if your strategy isn't working out - people are becoming worn out in the heat, DHS is inexplicably more crowded than anticipated, or there is a sudden monsoon - stop for a dole whip/frozen mickey-popsicle-thing, hop over to EPCOT, or for goodness' sake, brave the rain and ride those major attractions while the the less intense visitors take shelter in the gift shops :cool2:. Don't be afraid to improvise. From reading this thread, a lot of you commandos seem to put a lot of time into planning, and that's great; but improvising - when called for - works out great for us. |
I'm sitting here putting all of our ressies, shows, park hours, etc. into Outlook so that I can sync it to my phone. And I'm inviting DH so that it will be on his phone too. I guess I'm not totally comando because I'm not sure we will make it to all rope-drops. We'll stay at the parks as late as they will allow though!
