Ohana's or Chef Mickeys for breakfast
On our departure day I have chef mickeys booked as I really want to see Minnie in her original form...however, our flight times were changed and it might be rushed to get breakfast in...our ADR is for 920 and our flight leaves at 150pm. (we are driving ourselves so no ME).....I was thinking of switching to Ohana's for breakfast instead although we are doing dinner there on arrival night...what is everyone;s thoughts?
thanks |
I would keep trying to get an earlier time at Chef Mickeys. The "fab 5" are really great there. It is buffet so you don't have to wait on your food.
how long does breakfast take?? i have been looking for earlier times with no luck :(
would we be ok at 920 if nothing else shows up? |
I personally think the characters at Ohana are much better as is the food. I would try there if you can.
We really enjoyed breakfast at 'Ohana. We ate dinner and breakfast there on our last trip. My DD3 still talks about the character interaction we had there. I have never done Chef Mickey's but we would do 'Ohana again.
'Ohana is much more relaxing and the food is way better, IMO. It is very different from dinner, so I wouldn't worry about that aspect of it.
This is a tough choice, but I think I'd go with Ohana. Lilo and Stitch are there, too! Another really good restaurant in the Polynesian across the floor from Ohana is the Kona Cafe. There aren't any characters there, but the food (breakfast) is AWESOME!
We LOVED 'Ohana breakfast when we did it--everything was wonderful. We only did Chef Mickey's for dinner but it was by far our least favorite meal (server was bad, food mediocre, and characters rushed).
I think both options are good. 'Ohana tends to be more laid back with great character interaction and nice breakfast offerings served family style. Chef Mickey's also has great character interaction with more variety due to the expansive buffet. It's really a matter of preference. If you want a more laid- back experience, go with 'Ohana. If you don't mind a buffet and lots of fanfare, then Chef Mickey is a good choice.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean in her original form, but all the characters at Chef Mickey's are dressed as chefs.
We love 'Ohana. |
We loved the food and the way it is served at Ohana. You don't have to get up from the table which is nice if you have a few young children. It does have character interaction and the kids get to participate in a parade around the restaurant with the characters. It is definitely more relaxed than Chef Mickeys.
Chef Mickeys is a good choice too. I agree with the pp's that the food is not as good as Ohana, but if you have picky eaters it does provide more variety as they can have the standard hot choices on the buffet, plus they have a cereal buffet. Chef Mickeys has a more excited atmosphere than Ohana. We usually do Chef Mickeys at the beginning of the trip and Ohana at the end. |
If you are able, I would try to get an earlier ADR at CMs. We hated Ohana breakfast... we felt the service was very slow, the food options were minimal, and the characters took a long time to get to us. We liked that CM was a buffet so there were many more options. Plus, since CM is a buffet, it won't take as long. |
Having done both on past trips, I chose Ohana as our departure day breakfast. Mainly because of the amount of time that you get with the characters and that Lilo and Stitch are there. The food is also really good. I also think that it is a much more relaxed, not rushed, feeling there. ( Just like Hawaii! )
As far as how long it takes... I've had hour long waits to be seated (which since we're usually early that means about 30-40 minutes past our ADR time) at both and I've been seated immediately at both. It just depends on how busy they are. The same with seeing all the characters. Sometimes it's fast and sometimes if they're really busy it takes forever. Minnie does have a little apron on at Chef Mickey's, but she's in her red polka dot dress. http://photo-chick.smugmug.com/photo...-nZ9wxgn-S.jpg |
Vote for O'hana
We have done both, and I like O'hana better for both food and character interaction.

Travis Scott Travels Through a Trippy Universe in Low Pros' '100 Bottles' Video
Travis Scott travels through a trippy universe in Low Pros' video for '100 Bottles.'
Travis Scott travels through a trippy universe in Low Pros' video for '100 Bottles.'
The Roots performed their haunting track 'Never' on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on Tuesday (May 20).
The Dipset gang reunite in the video for 'Dips---s,' the newest effort to come from Cam'ron and Atrak's collaborative album,'Federal Reserve.' While the track is not a complete reunion for the team, for Dipset fans, it's a step in the right direction.
After announcing their collaboration in January, Cam'ron and A-Trak finally open the lid on the new project that everyone's talking about, 'Federal Reserve.' The Fool's Gold founder and Dipset rapper sit down with Complex to talk about the Damon Dash connection, their first meeting and how food and music make for a better recording process.
Feb. 10 2014 marks the 10th anniversary of Kanye West's debut album, 'The College Dropout.' The 21-track offering was deemed an instant classic when it was released on Feb. 10, 2004, and proved that the Chicago MC was as formidable a rapper as he was a producer.
The combination of A-Trak and Lex Luger as Low Pros is a lethal one. Perhaps their partnership shouldn't even be allowed. Someone definitely is going to get bodied with that much banger-making prowess in one package. That sort of rambunctiousness joins forces with Young Thug and PeeWee Longway for the explosive 'Jack Tripper' -- produced alongside Metro Boomin.
With A-Trak's track record, teaming up with Cam'ron seems like a likely partnership. He was once Kanye West's DJ and founded Fool's Gold Records (home to Danny Brown and Run the Jewels) after all. The duo's new track, 'Humphrey' firmly cements their union.
Kanye West made a surprise appearance at New York City's Brooklyn Bowl this past weekend, performing with protege CyHi Da Prynce.
The show was part of the Pitchfork-sponsored #Offline Festival a
A-Trak is mainly known as a globetrotting DJ, but many in the hip-hop community know him as Kanye West's former DJ. His label with DJ Nick Catchdubs, Fool's Gold, is about to put out a compilation -- 'Fool's Gold V

Important Information >>
An antique wardrobe from a 19th-century German settlement in Iowa was the inspiration for this piece. Its most striking element is a radiused cove that gently curves around the corners giving it an air of stately elegance. Its structure is simple yet solid and its cavernous interior can be put to many uses besides storing clothes. With an eye on the 21st century we added some modern upgrades to this timeless design so it could be used as an entertainment center. This cabinet is deep enough to house a 32-in. TV and the pocket doors slide back into the cabinet for unobstructed viewing. A plywood insert holds the electronic gear and can be altered or replaced for other uses.
Simple frame-and-panel construction and applied moldings make this wardrobe surprisingly easy to build, despite its large scale. The ability to make haunched mortise-and-tenon joints for the doors and familiarity with Euro-style hardware is helpful in building this project. Otherwise, dadoes, rabbets and butt joints are the toughest joinery you'll encounter.
Expect to pay about $1,200 for building materials and another $200 for the hardware.
We built our wardrobe from unsteamed walnut ordered through Hearne Hardwoods, Inc. (see Sources, p. 37) (Kilndried walnut is usually steamed, a process that eliminates all the wonderful color variations natural to walnut). By ordering wood from a specialty supplier like Hearne we were able to obtain wide stock (10 in. or better) that came from a single tree. The grain in a wide board runs from quarter- or rift sawn on the edges (perfect for stiles and rails), to flatsawn in the middle (ideal for panels). Wood from a single tree ensures a good color and grain match.
Be sure to sticker the wood in your shop and let it acclimate for a couple of weeks before milling. Now, spread out the lumber and begin to organize your boards. Save the best pieces for the doors which will be the central focus of the cabinet, at least while the TV is off. (We special ordered "bees-wing" walnut from Goby Walnut Products for our door panels, see Sources, p. 37.) Boards that contain any quarter- to rift sawn pieces are good for door and panel frames (Photo 1). With an eye on grain patterns and color, decide where the remaining boards will be used and mark them accordingly.
The sides are simple frame-and-panel structures made with tongue-and-groove joinery. The panels fit into grooves cut into the stiles and rails with a dado blade. Set your fence so the groove is centered exactly on the edge of the frame. This is important because each stile must be flipped end-for-end to cut the deeper groove for the rails (Photo 2). The tongues on the rails are cut on a crosscut sled making multiple passes over a blade. Final fitting should be done with a rabbet plane.
Glue up and thickness plane the panel stock. Cut the panels to size allowing for adequate seasonal movement across the width (in our northern climate we allowed for 1⁄4 in.). Raise the panels by cutting a wide rabbet with a router and straight bit (Photo 3).
After dry fitting the side frame-and panel assembly, disassemble and finish sand the panels and the inside edges of the frames. Pre-finish the rabbets to keep the seasonal movement of the panels from revealing any unfinished edges. Glue up the side panels and check for square.
The bottom shelf carries all the weight of the insert and its contents. That's a lot of weight for one shelf! We used a torsion box for the bottom shelf because it's both lightweight and strong (see Practical Design, p. 79). A torsion box works the same way as framing in the floor of a house. It takes advantage of the weight-carrying capacity of a board put on edge (like floor joists). The torsion box consists of two plywood shelves with vertical dividers (Fig. A). The cabinet sides, face frame and back complete the box. The upper shelf and torsion box are cut from inexpensive plywood.
Cut dadoes for the torsion box and the upper shelf. Dry fit the entire carcass assembly and drill countersunk pilot holes for the top shelf and the bottom portion of the torsion box where the base molding will cover the screws.
Final assembly of the carcass begins with the torsion box, which is glued and screwed together. The top shelf and the completed torsion box are joined to the cabinet sides with glue and screws. Use clamps for the top half of the torsion box.
This cabinet depends on a face frame and a plywood back to prevent racking. The face frame is made 1⁄8-in. wider than the carcass and is joined with biscuits. Dry fit the assembly and make precise layout marks for the rails. Glue up the face frame, making sure it is square. Lay the glued up carcass on saw horses and attach the face frame (Photo 4). Use a flush trim bit and a router to remove the overhang on the face frame.
A pleasing design feature of the wardrobe is the stopped radius on its corners (Fig. A). With the carcass still on its back, use a 3⁄4-in. round-over bit taking several passes to reach the full depth of cut. Set up stop blocks to limit the cut to within 1⁄2 in. of the crown and base moldings.
The frames are joined using haunched mortise and tenons. The panels are raised in the same way as the side panels(Photo 3). Assemble the doors and cut them to fit the openings with 3⁄32-in.margins on all sides.
The applied moldings really make this piece come alive. If possible, cut each molding from a single board with the long front piece cut out of the middle and the sides cut from the ends. All the moldings use a simple butt joint at the corners.
If you've never done anything like this before, glue up some stock from scrap wood to use as a trial run before you cut into that expensive walnut.
Mill cove stock from 12/4 lumber to 25⁄8 in. Rough cut the sides and front to length and width plus 1 in. Set up your tablesaw for cutting the cove (Photo 5). It is best to have the pith side of the board at the back of the cove (Fig. B). This ensures a stable molding with a straight grain pattern. That said, we found the pith side of our stock full of defects forcing us to orient the grain the opposite way. (If plan A doesn't work, switch to plan B!) Mark the top edge of each piece and always have that edge against the fence to ensure proper orientation while machining (Photo 6). Use a gooseneck scraper followed by sandpaper to remove saw marks from the cove. Rip the cove to final width, then set the saw at 45 degrees to make the back cuts (Fig. B).
Secure the front cove with a couple screws driven in from the back of the face frame. Make clean, square end cuts on the side coves. Butt them against the front cove and secure with screws. Scribe and cut the front cove (Photos 7 and 8).
The cove's radiused corner is a dramatic element in this piece. It looks difficult to execute but in reality it's surprisingly straightforward.
Permanently attach the cove with screws and glue. Use a little epoxy mixed with very fine walnut dust at the butt joint to help stabilize the joint. With a template and router, form the convex radius on top of the cove first. This will help guide you in shaping the concave radius of the cove. To make the template, swing a 3-in. arc on a piece of scrap that's large enough to support your router. Now cut out the profile on a bandsaw. Use the template to scribe the radius on the top of the cove. Rough-cut the outline with a jig saw or a coping saw. Tack the template onto the top of the cove and use a router with a top bearing flush bit to finish cut the profile.
Shape the inside radius of the cove as shown in Photo 9.
The crown is made up of the cove with a cap on top and a bead below (Fig. C). Screw the cap molding onto the top of the cove. The butt joint on the cap should line up with the butt joint on the cove. Cut the radius on the cap in the same manner as the cove, using a 33⁄4-in. template and router.
Make the bead using a 3⁄16-in. roundover bit and a router table. Secure to the bottom of the cove with glue and nails and shape the radius with a file. Tip: To protect the surrounding surfaces from any slips with the file, tape down some very thin pieces of scrap wood.
Like the crown, all three pieces of the base should be cut from a single plank of walnut. Chamfer the top edges and mount to the cabinet with screws. Scribe, cut and mount the base as you did the cove. Radius the corner of the base with a 7⁄8-in. round-over bit using blocks of 7⁄8-in. wood on either side of the base for support. Use a sharp chisel and a flat file to radius the chamfer.
Make a 1⁄4-in. hardboard template of the bracket feet using a compass and a straightedge. Mark the outlines from the template onto the blanks and roughcut the feet on the band saw. Attach the template to the backside of each foot with brads or pin nails and finish the cuts on the router table with a flushcutting bit and bearing. Fasten the feet with screws driven in from the back of the face and side frames. Radius the corner with a 1-in. round-over bit. Note: Use a variable-speed router or form by hand.
On the plus side, European-style hardware is well engineered, easy to install and allows you to adjust the doors in three dimensions. On the down side it requires a mounting surface that is flush with the inside edge of the face frame. You can create this surface by building four simple boxes that are glued and screwed into the cabinet (Photo 11). Accuride's Model 1332 pocket door hardware (see Sources, p. 37) consists of modified drawer slides mounted on these boxes (Photo 12). The door hinges are fastened to a hinge carrier, which, in turn, is fastened to the slides by an adapter plate. The set includes a pair of self-closing hinges, which mount at the top and bottom of the hinge carrier strip. Because the doors are so tall they require two additional free-swinging hinges each. Accuride provides detailed plans to make your own hinge carrier strip out of 3⁄16-in. aluminum bar stock. We found it easier to combine two short hinge carrier kits. The only modification required was drilling two holes in the extra adapter plate (Fig. C, Detail 1). Assemble the slides and carrier strips according to instructions and mount to the cabinet (Photo 12).
Cut two extra stiles from scrap wood and use these to lay out and test the hinge spacing for each door (Photo 13). Finish installing the doors according to the instructions provided by Accuride. Attach the astragal to the right-hand door as you face the cabinet.
Finally, we come to the insert where the 19th-century wardrobe becomes a 21st-century entertainment center. A minimum pocket of 2 in. is required for each door allowing 33 in. for our insert (plenty of room for a 32-in. TV). The insert is designed to be functional, flexible and as inexpensive as possible. We used walnut plywood with a hardwood edge (careful of the veneer, its paper thin). The torsion box assembly is used to support the TV and also carry the VCR (or DVD depending on where you are on the technology curve). The boxes on either side of the VCR space are dimensioned so drawers can be made to hold CDs (see photo, p. 31).
Cut notches for wires in the back of the two shelves that make up the torsion box. Set the insert into the cabinet 1⁄8-in. in from the back edge of the face frame to allow for door bumpers. Secure the insert to the torsion box with screws.
Cut the back from a sheet of 1⁄4-in. walnut plywood. The plywood serves as a back for both the wardrobe and any insert you choose to build. It also strengthens the carcass to prevent racking. Add ventilation slots for the equipment you plan to use. Fasten the back to the carcass and the insert with screws.
To highlight the luxurious grain in the door panels and bring out the rich color of the unsteamed walnut, we chose a multiple-step finish. To "pop" the grain we began with a wash coat of Solar Lux NGR Dye (medium brown walnut) diluted 12:1 with Solar Lux Reducer. (If you plan to brush on the dye, replace 10 percent of the reducer with Solar Lux Retarder.) To bring out the richness of the walnut, follow the dye with Watco Natural Danish Oil. After the oil has dried, spray on a 1-lb. cut of orange shellac to highlight the colors and build the finish. Add depth and luster to the finish by spraying on two to three coats of Behlen' Qualalacq 755. (See Sources, p. 37 for all finishing products.) Sand the finish with 400-grit paper to remove imperfections before the final coat.
Now sit back and enjoy your favorite show or listen to some music knowing that when you're done, all that cold glass and plastic will be enclosed in rich, warm walnut. For once, maybe it's what's on the outside that counts.

1. Rip wide boards for frame-andpanel parts. Use the straight-grained wood at the edges for frames and save the remaining flatsawn wood for panels.
2. Use stop blocks to limit the length of the deeper grooves at each end of the stiles where the tongues of the rails will fit. Use a dado blade to cut panel grooves in the stiles and rails. Raise the blade and make the deeper grooves for the rails.
3. Cut the wide rabbet on the edges of the panels with a router and a straight bit. Score the outline of the panel field on the tablesaw to prevent tear out.To support the router and secure the panel, tack pieces of wood the same thickness as the panel onto some plywood. Use straightedges as guides and hold-downs.
4. Glue and clamp the face frame to the carcass using cauls to help distribute the clamping pressure. Square the cabinet to the face frame. Keep the center of the side frame from flexing under clamp pressure by mounting a support block that fits between the stiles at the mid-point of the panel. Tack the face frame down at each corner to keep it properly aligned during glue up. Place the nails where the moldings will cover them.
5. Determine the proper angle for the auxiliary fence by using a layout jig. Set the height of the saw blade equal to the depth of the cove and open the layout jig to the width of the cove (Fig. B). Set the jig over the raised blade at an angle that just allows the blade to clear the inside edges of the jig. Scribe a reference line on your tablesaw and set the auxiliary fence parallel to that line.
6. Cut the cove molding by passing thick stock over the saw blade at an angle (a 50-tooth combination blade works well). Use an auxiliary fence clamped to the table and take only 1⁄16 in. at a time. Protect your fingers with a push block and use a featherboard to hold the cove against the fence. Make a very light final pass and use a slow, steady feed rate to ensure the smoothest cut possible.
7. Scribe the side cove profiles onto the back of the front cove then remove the front cove for cutting.
8. Cut the profile in the front cove on the waste side of the line. Excess length will be removed during final shaping, but a cove that's cut too short can't be salvaged!
9. Shape the radius with a large half-round rasp to remove most of the material.The radius begins at the butt joint and wraps around the front. Switch to a finer file, scraper or sandpaper as you approach the desired shape (Photo 10).
10. Use a template to guide you in forming the concave radius of the cove. Make the template by tracing the cove onto a piece of scrap. Cut out the profile, leaving a small fillet as a reference point.
11. Fasten the partially assembled hardware mounting boxes to the upper and lower corners inside the carcass. Complete the boxes by running a small bead of glue on the exposed plywood edges and nailing on the face piece.
12. Use scrap wood to hold the completed pocket door hardware assembly a minimum of 3⁄4-in. off the bottom of the cabinet.
13. To ensure proper placement of the hinges cut a piece of scrap to the exact size of the door stile and hold it in the opening with shims. Mark the centerlines of the hinge baseplates onto the scrap and drill for hinge cups. Test fit a practice stile for each door before transferring the hinge placements from the test pieces to the doors.

ARTISTS FOR WORLD PEACE INC Reviews

February 20, 2010
Wendy Black-Nasta, the founder of and engine that powers Artists for World Peace, is a visionary who inspires people of all ages to channel their artistry as a force for good, one small step at a time. Wendy doesn't want to raise bazillions of dollars and then spend all her time managing that money. She has the ability to focus on small, doable projects. An example: Kids need shoes. Wendy heard/found out about kids in Ecuador who couldn't go to school because they didn't have shoes. She gathered artists who work in various media to design and build hats, which were sold at the first Hats for a Cause fundraiser, hosted by a local ice-cream shop. Wendy got the mayor to make an appearance, volunteers spread the word, and Artists for World Peace raised enough money to buy shoes for every kid who wanted to go to school. A gifted, successful artist herself, Wendy shows other artists how they can make positive changes for people whose lives are unbelievably difficult. In the process, she unites all kinds of people in the community and demonstrates the potential of grassroots activism.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Wendy's ability to bring people together. Artists for World Peace feels more like a family than a foundation; I've met so many like-minded people, particularly young artists who go on to model the principle of "Do unto others."

I have been involved with Artists for World Peace for the past three years; however, I have known the founder, Wendy Black-Nasta, for over 10 years. I was one of her devoted jewelry students as a teenager, and I gained so much from my relationship with her. I was thrilled when I returned home after graduating from college and was invited to the first "sewing session" of a new project for AFWP: Hats for a Cause. I have been a core member of this group since then, and have loved every minute of it. I love working on a creative project with other strong, fascinating women and being able to sell our products to raise money for such worthy causes as building a domestic violence safe house in Cambodia and providing scholarships for children in Brazil, as well as helping local shelters and food banks in our community. I have also helped AFWP with their food/clothing drives for the Rose Bud Reservation in South Dakota. Artists for World Peace is an amazing foundation. Wendy has the biggest heart of anyone I know, and she is determined to make the world a better place. It has been an honor for me to work with AFWP and be part of something much bigger than myself. I have also attended presentations on the Peace Belt, another phenomenal project of AFWP. The impact that the Peace Belt has had on the people of the countries it has traveled to is incredible. It is very inspiring to be part of something so powerful.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my everyday life! It is so inspiring to work with a group of lively, intelligent, funny, caring women. Even though we range from in our teens to in our 60s, we have such an amazing time together making hats, sharing stories and learning from ecah other.

I'm looking for some kind of metal sheeting or panels that are perforated and rustproof to use as shelving on our (outdoor) wood racks. We're ordering two of them that are metal. The problem is that every one we find has a depth that is too deep for the logs we use. We have kiva fireplaces out here and they require shorter logs. Regular wood racks allow our logs to tip off.
My solution is to find some kind of perforated metal sheeting that we can lay across the racks to support any length of log, while allowing the air to circulate and rain and snow to drain through . . . but what? Where can we find it and how much can we expect to pay for them???? We'd prefer something that we either don't have to cut ourselves or that's easy to cut with the average+ tool shop tools. Lightweight would also be great. Just talked to my husband and the racks are 8ft long each. He says that we should figure on a usable length of 88-90" long (each). Individual panels that are about 40" long would be ideal, but we can adapt if necessary.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of buying something to fix this why not get some small diameter logs (1.5 inches) that are long enough and cover the shelf with those. then stack the regular firewood on top of them. Or you could use slats of wood or cut down pallets. Sure, the wood you use will eventually rot, Pooh Bear |
- Posted by lynninnewmexico (My Page) on Fri, Nov 14, 08 at 12:35
Thanks for your ideas. You're right, wood would be cheaper and easier. I was thinking more towards drainage and rotting when I came up with the metal sheeting idea. But a cut down pallet would solve the drainage problem and could easily and cheaply be replaced when it did rot through. Thanks! |

"I'm not a dancer. I don't even know why I wrote a song called 'Dirty Dancer,'" Iglesias laughed. "If I was asked to be in Dancing With The Stars, I wouldn't even make the tryout or whatever the hell they do."
Damn. Way to ruin the fantasy, Enrique. The conversation then veered from dancing to American Idol to Enrique's very first demo, which contained songs the singer wrote when he was a teenager.
"I borrowed $1,800 dollars from my nanny to do it in Miami," Iglesias revealed. He later added, "She took care of me for the first 25 years of my life and now I take care of her." Well, that's sweet enough to almost make us overlook the dancing bit.

It is a historical tour, but we do discuss art (many statues are outdoors here) and tell many little stories and anecdotes that are not usually in the history books.
This tour is entertaining and suits all levels and ages.
With this combination private tour we also visit the Accademia Gallery where we view the majestic David along with Michelangelo's Slaves composition, another of the artist's works housed in the Museum.

on April 1, 2014What in hell is going on with the Michigan Republicans?
First, Mike Rogers (R-Spookyville) bails on being chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, ostensibly to become a radio talk-show host, although there is some talk that he's aiming (slightly) higher than that. And now Dave Camp who, not long ago, produced what was acclaimed as a "reasonable" bipartisan compromise plan on the issue of tax reform, only to have his own caucus light it on fire before his eyes, is out the door as well.
Now it's possible that Camp just got fed up. By all accounts, his work on tax reform was sincere, if unfortunately still tied to Republican priorities, and it was rendered stillborn by John Boehner, who took time out to kill the plan from his endless quest to find the mason jar in which Eric Cantor buried his balls. But these are two guys abandoning hugely powerful legislative positions. (Being chairman of House Ways and Means is arguably on a par with being Speaker. Thanks a lot, James Madison.) And they're not alone. Camp is the fourth member of the Michigan congressional delegation to announce his retirement, but the two Democrats, John Dingell and Senator Carl Levin, are both retiring primarily because of age. (Levin is 79 and Dingell is 87.) But Camp and Rogers are in the prime of their careers, and in the middle of a hot election year, as well. It's a good time to be a GOP political consultant in Michigan, I guess. I will be interested in seeing what Republican replaces these guys in their prime committee assignments. On the other hand, maybe I won't be.

I want to be able to "hold" onions in the ground during the winter. We are able to hold carrots over the entire winter in the ground and pull them as we need them. I'm not picky about the variety. We are eating more onions these days to help husband's cholesterol problem (doing other things other than just onions). We love onions baked, stewed with summer squash, in vegetable stir fry, soup, .... We like leeks and might try them next fall. If the above is not possible, what variety of onion would grow well in my area, which is near Raleigh, NC z7b, and will have a small neck, not rot in storage of my basement, and not sprout fast? Since I want to store the onions over the winter, how should I time the planting -- maybe it would be better to start transplants as late as possible to delay harvest and therefore extend the storage period? Note: This is a garden to decrease my family's food expense. I have 2 teenagers who like to eat. I have more experience growing other vegetables. I know little about onion growing. If someone can fully explain what I should do, I'd appreciate the advice. Thank you, zinia |
Follow-Up Postings:
I planted 8 pounds onions sept.5.Ground thawed 3 days ago and have been using the scallions daily.My leeks were planted in garden may 28 and i pick whenever ground is not frozen.I have been doing this for at least 10 years.Good luck. |
Thanks baygrower. That seems like a lot of onions to eat. My plan is to continue experimenting in the garden and the kitchen. We have $1.50 in onion sets from Walmart out in the garden. I bought a bundle of transplants at a local garden center. With the transplants, I'm going to try to get them to bulb. The business provided a direction sheet on growing onions, so I am being careful to follow instructions, to see if they will actually size up. If things don't go right, I can still cook what grows, puree and put in soup. One of the girls hates the texture of the onion pieces. zinia |
I store the sets not eaten as scallions, and use as broiler size- i like them cooked soft in cream.I have large extended family in area and as long as nothing is wasted, but yeah that 8 pounds would be alot for couple people.My seeds have sprouted and these will be my large storage onions for winter.I plant them in compost mixed with garden topsoil and bonemeal as fertilizer.Have been lucky with onion flys lately, but i tend to plant every few weeks( 1/3 at a time) if i get infestations. |

We applaud the United States House of Representatives for the passage of the Veterans Dog Training Therapy Act. This innovative bill, introduced by U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm (D-NY), would establish a program where service members suffering from PTSD could train shelter dogs to be service dogs for disabled veterans.
"When more and more servicemen and women are returning from overseas with PTSD and other injuries, this bill will allow for our veterans to get the therapy and assistance they need and will give some worthy shelter dogs very good homes," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations.
The Veterans Dog Training Therapy Act was one of six bills that address veterans' health issues to pass unanimously in the House this week. The ASPCA thanks Rep. Grimm, himself a veteran, for his leadership on this important legislation to support our nation's veterans and shelter dogs.
Take Action!

Australian Open 2013: Heather Watson loses to Radwanska
Australian Open
- Venue: Melbourne Park
- Date: 14-27 January
Coverage: BBC Sport website (daily live text commentaries), Radio 5 live (commentaries) & TV/online streaming (both finals)
Heather Watson's Australian Open run came to an end with a straight-sets defeat by Polish fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
After a strong start, the British number one went down 6-3 6-1 in 84 minutes on Hisense Arena.
The classy Radwanska outmanoeuvred Watson in a match that ended under the roof because of rain, and she will face former French Open champion Ana Ivanovic in round four.
British hopes in the women's singles now rest with Laura Robson, a dramatic late-night winner over Petra Kvitova on Thursday.

Watson, 20, and Radwanska were meeting for the second time after the Pole won for the loss of just two games at Wimbledon last year.
"I thought I had a good start to the match," said Watson. "I had chances early on to break but I wasn't able to convert, and I think after that game that I didn't convert it kind of just slipped away a little bit.
"That's what makes Radwanska so good. She's always there every game, so you can't have a second because she will just take the next few points. I feel like I did a lot better this time than last time, and the score doesn't really show how I felt out there. I felt like I was in it and it was a lot closer."
Radwanska, 23, came into the match on a brilliant run of 11 straight wins and titles in Auckland and Sydney.
One of the smaller players among the top women at 5ft 8in, she thrives through brilliant court craft and movement - a delicate lob on the opening point of the match giving the perfect example.
Watson recovered well from 0-30 with four straight points and engineered the first opportunity, but could not convert from 15-40 in game four.
Radwanska heeded the warning and began to profit from her forehand down the line into Watson's backhand, moving out to a 5-2 lead and, after failing to serve out, breaking for a third time to take the set.
The world number four produced the full repertoire at the start of the second, a deadly drop shot, a stunning reflex volley picked up off her feet and another fine lob all helping her to 3-0.
Watson was hanging on, and got some respite from an unlikely source - rain.
Just hours 12 hours after a scorchingly hot day in Melbourne, the skies darkened and umbrellas went up around the arena as play was briefly halted for the roof to be brought across.
It did not disrupt Radwanska's rhythm one bit, however, and she broke immediately on the resumption thanks in part to another of those deadly forehands.
Watson got on the board in the second set with a hard-fought service hold in game six and kept battling, as expected until the very end, but Radwanska closed out from 15-40 to end the Briton's promising week.
"In the beginning of the first set I was really tight," said Radwanska. "I think that game when I was serving when it was 2-1, I think it was a really important game. The I started to play better."
Ivanovic, who spent 12 weeks as world number one after winning the French Open in 2008, beat fellow Serb Jankovic 7-5 6-3.

19th January 2013 - 2:30Heather was ultimately outclassed by Radwanksa - a player whom I like on the WTA. However, the score doesn't tell the whole story and the first set was very competitive indeed - even the first set stats validate that. I think Heather has a good mental attitude and a great fighting spirit, I wish her all the best in her burgeoning tennis career.

Please don't ever take that tone and make such deliberately provacative or otherwise wholly ill-informed comments in reply to my posts. This is a tennis discussion and nothing more!
Success in any sport is relative to reasonable expectation and ultimately can't be fully assessed until the end of a career. Your continued bile aimed at a young talented female professional is sick. -

Pech worries about unfairly being labeled as a racist. But that's not the word his critics use: They say he's greedy. According to the state transportation department, Colorado's five major guardrail companies have earned $84 million in state contracts since 1991, awarded either directly as prime contracts or indirectly as subcontracts. Adarand has received 30 percent of that business, or just under $26 million. Ideal and C& K have each received a little more than $20 million. Cruz, however, has received only $7.4 million. And Gonzales, whose bid inspired Adarand's suit, has earned only $3.9 million. (Gonzales president Frankie Gonzales declined to speak with Westword.)
Pech has a "vision of doing all the guardrail work in the state of Colorado," Lacey says. "He can't do it. He does not appreciate good, honest competition."
Of the last ten guardrail jobs the state bid on in 2000, Adarand received eight of them, Cruz says. Through May of this year, Adarand has been awarded $2.4 million in subcontracts; Ideal has received just over $1 million. Gonzales has earned a paltry $2,300, but that's still better than Cruz and C&K, who have gotten nothing. (Four of the guardrail companies received no prime contracts as of the end of May; Gonzales, the exception, won $133,000 worth of work.)
In short, Pech's competitors say, Adarand is already at the top of the heap. "Do you want to ask if the man is greedy?" says Cruz. "Yes, he is."
"That's what gets me about cases like this," comments Roberto Corrada, a law professor at the University of Denver. "It's just pure greed."
But Val Pech says she and her husband are just ordinary working people trying to make a living the same as everyone else. Their battle is not about money, the Pechs say, pointing out that they haven't sought financial damages. To them, it's simply a matter of right and wrong.
"We will never give up as long as our government is making determining decisions based on race," says Val, adding that their case "is about the core values of what it means to be an American."
Those sentiments haven't won over the skeptics, though.
"He never lost a job to me because of affirmative action," Lacey says of Pech. "I think Adarand is just out there beating their drum on the corner because they wanted the attention."
In June 1997, the U.S. District Court for Colorado again ruled on the Adarand case, this time determining that the SCC program was unconstitutional, because it was not narrowly tailored. U.S. District Court Judge John Kane said that the federal standards to become a DBE were both overinclusive and underinclusive, rewarding minorities who were not disadvantaged and penalizing whites who were.
Fresh from this triumph, Adarand sued the State of Colorado, which had used affirmative-action programs to award transportation contracts for two decades. According to MGT of America, a national management research and consulting firm that conducted disparity studies for the State of Colorado and the state transportation department, the department had operated a voluntary DBE program between 1971 and 1974, when only .3 to .9 percent of construction funds went to disadvantaged firms. In 1980, the Colorado Highway Commission, the Colorado Contractors Association and the Minority Contractors Association had agreed to a program for minority-business contracting. By 1989, the department had established a DBE goal of 10 percent for all Colorado highway work, both state and federally funded. Studies conducted in Denver and throughout Colorado during the '80s had all established that there was discrimination in the state-highway and construction industries.
Debra Gallegos, who manages the Center for Equal Opportunity at the state transportation department, is rankled at the suggestion that Colorado uses set-aside programs to boost minority participation. The DBE program the state follows is goal-oriented, she says. Unlike the federal SCCs, Colorado's program has never offered incentives for prime contractors to meet DBE goals, she explains. The state simply required prime contractors to make a good-faith effort to include minorities and women. If low-bidding contractors failed to use DBEs or were unable to prove they had made an honest effort to locate them, the state could rebid a contract.
Nevertheless, with the Adarand suit looming, state transportation department officials revamped the DBE program to head off litigation. "They broadened the definition of disadvantaged business," says law professor Corrada.
The first change simply required that all DBE applicants sign a statement saying they had been discriminated against in the past -- no need to provide any details. According to the state, this move eliminated the presumption that minorities and women were disadvantaged and that whites were not. The second was to cap the size of participating DBE businesses: An owner's net worth could not exceed $750,000.
Once these new changes were in place, the number of recognized DBEs dropped from about 350 to 280. (It has since risen to around 320.) Some contractors couldn't honestly claim past discrimination; some owners' personal net worth was too high (as in the case of Cruz Construction); still others didn't want to reveal their finances.
Judge Kane was also appointed to preside over the state case. Under the new rules, he determined that Adarand itself could possibly be a disadvantaged business.

I think every team should just pick Kassadin.
This thread was really dumb.
Riot said they are looking at solutions for the Kassaplague
revive takes skill to use however
why should riot even modify things for a game mode that doesnt have a ranked mode? Next ur gonna be calling for balance in proving grounds aram.... I personally hope they do not balance any of the champions around this fail mode. Play SR like an adult.. ;)
You play SR, therefore you are an adult. You go to on another's forum to insult their map with no logical basis and reasoning. You show rudeness to those who did not wrong you. If this is what being an adult is, then I rather be a child and play my game and respect others. |
The shame of blind pick is that you don't know if the other team has picked a cheesecake or not. I personally don't mind playing non-ops, but if I decide to play a balanced champion and the enemy team picks Kassadin/Khazix/Nidalee I'm just going to feel silly, and I don't like taking the risk. But just so you are aware, once Kassadin gets nerfed, it's going to be the Nidalee/Khazix spam next. All we are really doing is going down to the next 'lesser evil' but a champion that overwhelms the rest of the roster is almost always going to exist. |
The problem with blind pick is that you can't react to enemy pick. Your team is MF, Draven, Yi, Garen. Enjoy Nid, Blizt, Kass, Talon on enemy.
Am I the only person who wins games against Kassadin? Seriously, if you stop giving up at loading screen maybe you'll win a few.
...and I still continue reporting all Kassadin players as unskilled. I don't learn anything in games where there's a Kass. It's a waste of my time. I even try to talk my teammates into not playing him. They never listen.

Okay, now Mitch McConnell is simply funnin' with us, providing a level of performance art not seen on the Senate floor since, well, since I don't know when. After his extraordinary filibuster of his own bill last week, the Senate Minority Leader presented some examples of 'wasteful, out-of-control federal spending' that contribute to President Obama's trillion dollar deficits 'as far as the eye can see.'
What was the prime example of wasteful spending that McConnell featured in his recap of contributors to the trillion dollars of deficit? A $325,000 grant to develop a robotic squirrel.
"Named robo-squirrel!"
Everyone knows the Japanese appear to be kicking America's ass in robotics development, so any effort to stimulate study in American universities to further our own knowledge in this area is suspect — because learning.
Watch Mitch rail against robo-squirrel spending. I wonder if I can find a calculator with enough screen and memory to calculate the percentage of a trillion-dollar deficit this $325,000 grant represents.
