Michael Carlyle Hall (born February 1, 1971) is an American actor, known for his role as Dexter Morgan in the Showtime TV Network Dexter, and as David Fisher on the HBO drama series Six Feet Under. In 2010, Hall won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his role in Dexter.[1]
Hall was born in Raleigh, North Carolina. His mother, Janice (Styons) Hall, is a guidance counselor at Lees-McRae College, and his father, William Carlyle Hall, worked for IBM.[2] Hall grew up an only child, a sister having died in infancy before his birth. He has said of this: "There was a very one-on-one, immediate family relationship, my mom and I." His father died of prostate cancer in 1982 at the age of 39, when Hall was 11 years old.[3] In a 2004 interview, he stated:
" | Certainly, for a young boy, there's no good age, but I think I was on the cusp of a time in my life where I was starting to reach puberty, to relate to my father. To have him.... Something gets frozen. As you revisit it for the rest of your life, it's sort of this slow but hopefully sure crawling—out of that frozen moment.[4] | " |
Hall attended Ravenscroft School in Raleigh, graduating in 1989,[5] and from Earlham College, a liberal arts college in Richmond, Indiana, in 1993. He has said that he planned to become a lawyer but later admitted to never actually intending to go to law school.[6] Hall then attended New York University's Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 1996.[7]
Early in life Hall discovered acting, performing in What Love Is while in the second grade at Ravenscroft School. When he was in the fifth grade, he began singing in a boy's choir, then to musicals in high school, performing in standards such as The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, and Fiddler on the Roof.
Hall's professional acting career began in the theater. Off-Broadway, he appeared in Macbeth and Cymbeline at the New York Shakespeare Festival, and in Timon of Athens and Henry V at The Public Theater, The English Teachers at the Manhattan Class Company (MCC), and the controversial play Corpus Christi at the Manhattan Theatre Club. He also performed in the workshop production of what was then known as Sondheim's Wise Guys, later versions of which were titled Bounce and, finally, Road Show. He sang the role of Paris Singer; this character's songs and function in the play were transferred to the character Hollis Bessamer in the final version of the play. In Los Angeles, he appeared in Skylight at the Mark Taper Forum. He also was part of the Texas Shakespeare Festival the summer of 1995. He played Lancelot in Camelot,[8] Lysander in A Midsummer Night's Dream,[8] and Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing.[8]
During August 4–30, 1998, Hall performed in William Shakespeare's Cymbeline in the role of Posthumus.
In 1999, director Sam Mendes cast Hall as the flamboyant Emcee in the revival of Cabaret, his first Broadway role.
In 2003, Hall toured as Billy Flynn in the musical Chicago. In 2005 he returned to Off-Broadway theater in the premiere of Noah Haidle's Mr. Marmalade, playing the title character, an emotionally disturbed little girl's imaginary friend.
In 2014, he returned to Broadway in the play The Realistic Joneses starring in the role of John Jones.
He assumed the title role in Hedwig and The Angry Inch on Broadway on October 16, 2014 and will perform the role until January 18, 2015.
Mendes suggested Hall for the role of closeted David Fisher when Alan Ball began casting the TV drama Six Feet Under. "Everything opened up for me in Cabaret," but, Hall reported in a 2004 interview, "It slammed shut for David."[4]
Hall's work in the first season of Six Feet Under was recognized with a nomination for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series[9] and for an AFI Award nomination for Actor of the Year in 2002 for his role as David Fisher. In addition, he shared in the Screen Actors Guild nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series all five years that the show was in production, winning the award in 2003 and 2004.[10]
Hall starred in and co-produced the Showtime television series Dexter, in which he played the eponymous character, a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer / vigilante. Jennifer Carpenter played his adoptive sister, Debra Morgan. The series premiered on October 1, 2006, and ended its run in 2013. For his work on Dexter, Hall was nominated for five more Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The show itself was also nominated for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 Emmy citations in the Drama Series category.[11] He won the 2007 Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama.[12] Hall was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Drama in 2007 and again in 2008,[13] winning the award at the 67th Golden Globe Awards in 2010.[14] Also in 2010, he won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series. After months of rumors, on April 18, 2013, Showtime announced via social media that season eight would be the final season of Dexter.[15]
On January 16, 2014, Showtime President David Nevins said there have been discussions for a Dexter spinoff series that would take the character in a different direction and not continue the previous series. Nevins said that they would only do the show if Michael C. Hall agreed to return.[16]
Hall said he would be open to returning for a spinoff series however said "I can't even wrap my mind around that. And it's all just theoretical until there is some sort of script reflecting somebody's idea of where it could possibly go. But it's hard for me to imagine what that would be. Yeah, as far as playing Dexter again for an undefined amount of time, that's a little daunting to consider. But doing another television series — there's a lot of amazing stuff on TV. I don't want to do that right away. But I wouldn't say never to that."[17]
Hall's film credits include the 2003 thriller Paycheck, the 2009 science fiction thriller Gamer, the 2011 comedy Peep World, and the 2011 drama The Trouble with Bliss. In 2013, he played the part of David Kammerer in the film Kill Your Darlings, directed by John Krokidas.[18] Michael has signed on to make a film adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale's cult novel Cold in July.[19] Jim Mickle is set to direct.[20] The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.[21]
On May 1, 2002, Hall married actress Amy Spanger; he played Billy Flynn opposite her Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical Chicago, the summer after their wedding. The couple separated in 2005 and filed for divorce in 2006. On December 31, 2008, he eloped with Jennifer Carpenter, who played the character of Dexter Morgan's adoptive sister, Debra Morgan. They dated for a year prior to getting married.[22][23][24][25] In December 2010, Hall and Carpenter released a statement announcing that they had filed for divorce after having been separated "for some time," The divorce was finalized in December 2011.[26] Since September 2012, Hall has been dating Morgan Macgregor, who was an associate editor at the Los Angeles Review of Books.[27]
On January 13, 2010, Hall's agent and spokesman confirmed that he was undergoing treatment for a form of Hodgkin's lymphoma. In an interview, Hall said that it was quite upsetting to learn of his cancer when he was 38 years old as his father had died from cancer at age 39. However, he was grateful that they found the cancer at its early stages, which made it a lot easier to treat and cure.
Hall accepted his Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award in 2010 while wearing a knitted cap over his bald head, having lost his hair due to chemotherapy.[28] On April 25, 2010, Carpenter announced that Hall was fully in remission[29] and was set to get back to work for a new season of Dexter.[30]
He is the face of the Somalia Aid Society's Feed The People campaign and has also worked with Kiehl's skin care line to do a limited-edition line that benefits the Waterkeeper Alliance, an environmental nonprofit that works toward clean and safe water worldwide.[31]
In 2011, Hall was the celebrity spokesperson for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Light the Night Walk" fundraising campaign.[32]

The Atlanta Hawks will have to show some resiliency to recover from a difficult loss even though they haven't been very successful lately in winning the second half of back-to-back games.
The Hawks have lost five straight contests in those circumstances heading into Saturday night's road matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
Atlanta (18-15) will look to bounce back from Friday's agonizing 101-100 home defeat to Golden State. The Warriors' Andre Iguodala inbounded the ball with 2.8 seconds left to Stephen Curry, who was double-teamed and fed Iguodala for the winning 3-pointer as time expired.
"We defended the initial action pretty well," said Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, whose team gave up 37 points in the fourth quarter. "Steph Curry demands a lot of attention. We got the ball out of his hands, and then they made a tough shot. It's a credit to Iguodala, a credit to Curry for making the pass."
The Hawks won on their first two occasions playing the second contest of back-to-backs, but have lost five straight such games -- including defeats to lowly Orlando and New York.
Chicago (13-18) fits that description as a lowly opponent, but Atlanta will return to the United Center for the first time since a 97-58 defeat last Jan. 14. That marked its second-lowest point total in the shot clock era and included a dreadful five-point second quarter.
The Hawks, who have dropped four straight regular-season games in Chicago, are a different team now with the departure of Josh Smith and the addition of Paul Millsap, who is averaging a career-high 17.7 points.
"Millsap is one of those guys who I think if you don't know him and study him, you don't realize how good he is," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "When he was in Utah, he played very well for Utah."
Thibodeau was asked about former Bulls forward Kyle Korver, who extended his NBA record streak of games with at least one 3-pointer to 102 on Friday. The coach made sure to note that five Hawks other than Korver have made at least 25 3-pointers.
"(Jeff) Teague is playing incredible for them," Thibodeau said. "They have a lot of guys shooting 3s, they're going to make 25 3s.
"Lou Williams is shooting the 3. They have some guys like Millsap who have improved their range, he's shooting 3s. Their bigs can all step out and shoot. It puts a lot of pressure on you in many different ways."
The Bulls won for the second time in eight home games, 94-82 over Boston on Thursday. Joakim Noah fell an assist shy of his fourth career triple-double and Carlos Boozer added 16 points.
"We have to turn it around," Noah said. "To do that, everybody has to go in and give everything they have. We can't take any nights off."
Boozer missed practice Friday, so his status is unclear. Luol Deng has scored 30 points in two games since returning after missing five due to a sore Achilles, and his minutes are being limited.
Noah usually goes up against his former Florida Gators teammate Al Horford in these matchups, but Horford is out for the season with a torn right pectoral muscle.

A few weeks ago I was sitting at the bar at Harry Caray's in Chicago's Midway airport. I was at a stool next to the server station and happened to overhear a conversation between the bartender and an off-duty waitress who came in to pick up her check. The waitress was complaining because she was turned down for a request to take a few days' vacation, citing the loss of several staff members who had requested time off for the same period.
The conversation reminded me of similar ones I had while waiting tables and bartending in Philadelphia until I heard the woman say (and I'm paraphrasing): Well, my airline ticket is bought and there's nothing management can do to stop me from going. Um, how about fire you, I thought. Losing her job seemed to be the least of her worries and her arrogance about the whole ordeal shocked me. I don't think I ever had that attitude when it came to requesting time off. If I was told no, I simply worked to cover my shifts.
A few weeks later, I was talking to a friend of mine who owns a clothing store. It was a day before the Kentucky Derby and she expressed surprise at the level of irresponsibility her employees seemed to display about their schedules. Several of them had told her when they would and would not be working, rather than request off for their preferred days. The change in workforce mentality from her younger days as a retail associate disappointed and discouraged her.
I don't have the answer to the dilemma, and didn't have an answer for my friend. But as the second-largest employer in the United States, the restaurant industry has an opportunity to connect with this new workforce, both sharing and teaching a new ideal of work ethic developed around a series of feedback and rewards, and consequences. I thought the Harry Caray's employee should have been fired for her actions, but it was clear she wasn't going to be. Unfortunately, the lesson she learned will only fuel her right of privilege now and in the future.
Any thoughts?

Description This is a US national phase patent application that claims priority from PCT/SE02/00752, filed 17 Apr. 2002, that claims priority from Swedish Patent Application No. 0101433-1, filed 25 Apr. 2001. The present invention concerns a package which is especially suitable for medical tablets an (capsules. The since long most common type of medical tablets packed by the piece is such blister packages where the tablets are pressed out by pressing the blister bubble so that the lid covering the blister gives way and the tablet comes out through the broken lid. Especially for old people and disabled persons tablets from these blisters can be difficult to press out. The easier they are to press out for everybody the easier they will also be for small children to press out. On a partly used blister a child can easily see that some blister bubbles have been pressed out. It is therefore easy for a child to understand that to get hold of a tablet you must press the bubble so that the lid gives way and the tablet is free. This type of blisters is therefore less childproof. Of course child safety increases if the bubble is of a thick and stiff material but then it will also be more difficult to press out for grown-ups. Another type of blister for medical tablets is described in the Swedish Patent 513 535. Here a lid is split open by pulling a flap directly. Also this can be understood by a little child. This package is therefore not especially childproof either. The present invention concerns a package where greater security in preventing small children from opening it is obtained but without becoming difficult to open for people who understand how to open it. The invention will be described in detail in the following with the help of figures which show examples of the invention. Certain measures have been exaggerated for the sake of clarity. In the figures a relatively thick and stiff first foil is indicated by reference number 1. From these hollow spaces or bubbles 2, in which tablets are to be kept, tables may be pressed out in a well-known manner. The first foil has a plane upper side which surrounds every hollow. The plane upper side is entirely covered by a thin second foil 3 which can be split open, forming a lid over the hollows. The second foil has been pulled off one of the ten hollows in A cut 9 has been made in the first foil before the second foil has been applied thereon. The cut in When the second foil is split open, that is the opening of the lid over a hollow (bubble), the flap must first be bent downwardly, as is shown in Other ways of using an un-elastic second foil are shown in In In A written instruction on the package or on a box containing the package can say that the flap must first be bent down before the lid can be split open. This will not be understood by those who are uninitiated and cannot read. Therefore the design of this package is more childproof than earlier models. No great strength is needed to open it and therefore it ought not to be difficult for an initiated person to do so. Classifications

8. Ransomware
The concept of ransomware is becoming more prevalent, Ayoub said. Ransomware involves someone installing a unique virus on a device. Instead of a traditional virus, this virus encrypts your hard drive and holds a user's data hostage, according to Dell SonicWall. The bad guys expect payment before they'll give back your data.
"We expect to see that rise in the coming year. If you don't pay them money, you can't get your data back," Ayoub said. It's a similar concept to viruses that tell users they have a virus and need to pay for a fake antivirus solution to rid themselves of pop-ups and other threats, he said.
"They take that interactive approach to get money out of you. You can protect yourself with a good antivirus and be careful what you install. Make sure you have the latest patches and also make sure you back up any sensitive data," Ayoub said.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

Posted by: Anh Hoang
(IP Logged)
Date: December 12, 2011 10:33AM
In the recent conversation with my friend, a value investing guy as well, I recognized the recent shot up in the stock price of hybrid print and digital news advertising company, McClatchy (MNI). At the end of November 2011, the stock was only around $1.10 per share, and as of Dec. 9, 2011, it has shot up to $2.36 per share, an advance of 112% within a third of a month.
In the McClatchy operating business, besides the daily newspapers in the metropolitan areas and non-daily newspapers serving small communities, MNI also operates local websites which are complimentary to its newspapers and expand the reach to its audience. MNI's own newspapers are the Miami Herald, The Sacramento Bee, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Kansas City Star, the Charlotte Observer and the (Raleigh) News & Observer. In addition, MNI also owns a portfolio of premium digital assets including 14.4% of CareerBuilder LLC, (nation's largest online job site), 25.6% of Classified Ventures LLC (owner of cars.com and apartments.com), and 33.3% of HomeFinder LLC (real estate website Homefinder.com). The main source of MNI's revenue is from advertising, taking around 70-80% of total consolidated net revenues, whereas the rest is from circulation revenue. In its annual report, it was written that MNI's advertising revenues from digital advertising has been growing even in the structural and cyclical changes of the company. It continued to be the industry leader in digital advertising with digital products, taking 18.1% of total advertising in 2010 and 16.2% in 2009. And in the digital advertising revenues in 2010, 45.2% came from the advertisements placed only online, not being tied to the joint print buy. The management believed that this independent revenue source boded well for the company's future. The very negative point of McClatchy's business is its financial structure, employing a very high level of leverage. It has only 7.2% of total assets in equity, whereas the long-term debt is already 53.2%, of $1.6 billion. In addition, the levels of goodwill and intangibles are taking the same percentage in the asset component of the company. Even with the small market capitalization of nearly $100 million, after adjusting the debt and the cash, its enterprise value is up to nearly $1.7 billion, quite a high figure. However, the high level of long-term debt is not due very soon. Below is the breakdown of MNI's long-term debt: The majority of long-term portions are due in 2017, especially $875 million 11.5% senior secured notes due in 2017, which already accounted for half of the company's long-term debt. The notes due in 2011 only have a balance of $18 million, and in 2014 the balance is nearly $160 million. The rest is due in more than 15 years, in the years 2027 and 2029. So what about the cash-generating ability to cover debt interest? Historically, it has a decent record of cash generation from operating activities and a level of its free cash flow, only in 2006, where it experienced CFO of -$600 million due to the discontinued operations recorded in its 2006 cash flow statements of more than -$800 million. So, if excluding that effect, the cash flow from continuing operations in that year was more than $200 million.
If adjusting the discontinued operations, the CFO average for the last 10 years is around $220 million, making the average FCF around $180 million. If the business keeps generating $220 million in CFO and $180 million in FCF each year in the future, and the management uses the cash wisely to reduce the outstanding debt level, McClatchy would be in pretty good shape and not subject to the solvency issue in the short-term. In terms of gurus' trades relating to MNI, since 2009, Joel Greenblatt, John Keeley, John Hussman and John Rogers have been involved with this stock. They had been initiating long positions and reducing gradually, then sold out in the later period of this year. Following the record of GuruFocus.com, Joel Greenblatt has experienced a loss of more than 50% from the time of buying until he sold out his position. I think this stock would be worth considering, but with a close eye on the operating performance as well as the rise and fall of the stock price. And it is definitely not a stock to buy, then forget about for the long run. This is the subjective viewpoint of the author, and it is not the recommendation to buy, hold or sell the stocks mentioned in this analysis. Anyone who wishes to buy, hold or sell the stocks has to do his/her own analysis at his/her own risk.

Sure Grounick, it was not the stock to hold for the long-term, given the high leverage that the company employs. But it has 5 years more to go before the obligation of big trances of money to be paid up for its debt.

Can the war by terrorists be called 'Jihad'?–Imran Khan thinks, yes
By Uza Syed • Oct 12th, 2012 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look • 26 CommentsAs reported today in the national press that, on Wednesday in Peshawer, Imran Khan did a press conference and implied that the terrorists are justified in fighting our state, our forces and us. So, the veiled jihadist removes the veil finally. Imran Khan gives this obnoxious 'Fatwa' and declares the war of terror, a jihad, in "tribal belt" by combined dark forces of Al-Qaeda, Talibans and various gangs of the warlords and drug mafias. This is against us and our Pakistan and we must refuse and reject this 'Fatwa' from this chronic jihadist on behalf of the forces of evil the 'brave warriors' the Talibans, the same barbarians who go around shooting our innocent daughters and sons, like the attackers of Malala. What is even more detestable is the timing this mad man selects and the occasion. He attempts to incite the innocent masses to take arm in the name of jihad in the guise of sympathy for the victim. What a trickery! The man is asking the victims of terrorism to support their brutalizers the attackers, the very murderers. Thank you, Mr Imran Khan, thanks for this invitation to "Jihad"—— but no thank you!—–Khan Sahib go and fight your jihad but not with our blood.

Protein in 'good cholesterol' may be a key to treating pulmonary hypertension
Small lung artery (top row) and heart (bottom) of rodents without disease (left); with pulmonary hypertension (center) and with disease treated with HDL peptide 4F (right).
Oxidized lipids are known to play a key role in inflaming blood vessels and hardening arteries, which causes diseases like atherosclerosis. A new study at UCLA demonstrates that they may also contribute to pulmonary hypertension, a serious lung disease that narrows the small blood vessels in the lungs.
Using a rodent model, the researchers showed that a peptide mimicking part of the main protein in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the so-called "good" cholesterol, may help reduce the production of oxidized lipids in pulmonary hypertension. They also found that reducing the amount of oxidized lipids improved the rodents' heart and lung function.
The study appears in the current online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Circulation.
A rare progressive condition, pulmonary hypertension can affect people of all ages. The disease makes it harder for the heart to pump blood through these vital organs, which can lead to heart failure.
"Our research helps unravel the mechanisms involved in the development of pulmonary hypertension," said Dr. Mansoureh Eghbali, the study's senior author and an associate professor of anesthesiology at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "A key peptide related to HDL cholesterol that can help reduce these oxidized lipids may provide a new target for treatment development."
Lipids such as fatty acids become oxidized when they are exposed to free radicals — tiny particles that are produced when the body converts food into energy — or when they are exposed to pollution, and in numerous other ways.
Although researchers have known that oxidized lipids played a role in the development of atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases, the UCLA team discovered higher-than-normal levels of oxidized proteins in rodents with pulmonary hypertension.
The UCLA researchers also knew that apoA-1, a protein that is a key component of HDL cholesterol, can reduce oxidized lipids, so they used a small peptide called 4F that mimics the action of apoA-1 and found that the 4F not only decreased the levels of oxidized lipids in the rodents, but also improved their heart and lung function. Specifically, the peptide restored the altered expression of a key molecule called micro ribonucleic acid (microRNA-193), which targets the action of essential enzymes involved in the production of oxidized lipids.
"The increased amounts of these oxidized lipids due to pulmonary hypertension keeps the expression of this molecule under check, which aggravates symptoms of the disease," said first author Dr. Salil Sharma, a UCLA postdoctoral researcher in anesthesiology.
By restoring the expression of microRNA-193 to its full potential, the researchers reduced the amount of oxidized lipids in the animals with pulmonary hypertension.
One of the hallmarks of pulmonary hypertension is a proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the lungs, which is harmful because it narrows the lungs' small blood vessels.
Additionally, Eghbali's team found reduced levels of microRNA-193 in the blood and lung tissue of human patients with the disease and discovered that they could slow the proliferation of the smooth muscle cells by increasing levels of microRNA-193 in the cells that had been isolated from these patients' lungs.
Further research will be required to test the potential of the HDL-related peptide and microRNA-193 in human disease, and to better understand how the levels of oxidized lipids in the blood may correlate to disease severity in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The study was funded in part by the American Heart Association, the National Institute of Health, the UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute and the Iris Cantor–UCLA Women's Health Center executive advisory board.
The study's other authors were Dr. Soban Umar, Andrea Iorga, Gabriel Wong, Denise Mai and Dr. Kaveh Navab of the division of molecular medicine at UCLA's department of anesthesiology; David Meriwether, Dr. Mohamad Navab, Dr. Alan Fogelman and Dr. Srinivasa Reddy of the division of cardiology at UCLA's department of medicine; Dr. David Ross of the division of pulmonary critical care medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA's department of medicine; and Francois Potus, Sandra Breuils-Bonnet, Dr. Steve Provencher and Dr. Sébastien Bonnet of Laval University in Québec, Canada

In October we spent two days at MK. It was my sons first trip and we got him a Jedi Mickey gift basket as a birthday present. Were planning a longer trip at the end of January. This time I decided to make my own gift bag not so much to save money, but more to give me something fun to do after all my park plans were done. Well, one bag turned into one bag *for each park*. Then I started adding things for other family members. Its all turned into quite a fun production. Anyway, I have dubbed this series of goody bags the Park Explorers Kit and I thought Id share it all here. One thing Im trying to balance is the Disney magic vs the anticipation time. I want all of these to be delivered by Mickey and friends. But I want him to have some time to absorb the content of each bag before we hit the parks. So the first bag will arrive in a package from Mickey a couple days before we leave. The second one will be in the room on arrival and the other ones will arrive on our off days. (DS is only 8 so I can manage the sleight of hand required to make these appear at the appropriate time.) I want to put in a special thank you to all the wonderful DISigners. I was able to find and customize everything I needed to put this together. I tried to keep track of everything that I used but if I missed something or misattributed an item, please let me know. A special thank you to Dolly for her post with all the creative resources and the instructions for personalizing all the letters and tags.
The first goody bag is MK and it will arrive before we leave. As you can see, I went a little overboard. The box is from the Disney Store (leftover from Christmas) and I put a WDW mailing label on it from RustManFan. (I covered up our address in the picture for privacy reasons.) MK Pre-Arrival Package by tltorrez, on Flickr Since we just did two very full days at MK, we're only doing a half day reprise on our day of arrival. So for this bag I focused less on the park and more on general things he'll need – pajamas, sunglasses, water bottle, Hidden Mickey book and snacks. MK Pre-Arrival Package Contents by tltorrez, on Flickr I put one medium-sized toy in each bag. This one has a Toy Story View Master. It's a fairly inexepensive toy (Amazon) and honestly I just couldn't resist. The Buzz PJs were on sale at Disney Store. I found the sunglasses at Target. I also found a bunch of $1 stocking stuffers (pencils, notepads, etc.) at Michaels with the Toy Story theme so I included some of that. The snacks are Toy Story fruit snacks from the grocery store. I hadn't intended this entire box to be Toy Story themed but it worked out that way. Here's the personalized message from Mickey (Dolly): MK/Pre-Arrival Message by tltorrez, on Flickr I had initially planned to put a single-use camera in here. But instead, we decided to get DS a real camera. So we bought a Kodak EasyShare and we gave it to him as a Christmas present. That way he'll have time to learn how to use it. But I still think single-use cameras can be a good idea.
The second bag is Epcot. He'l get this one at the resort on the day we arrive. Epcot is Day 2 and 4 of our trip. Epcot Bag by tltorrez, on Flickr Heres the message from Figment (RustManFan): Epcot Message by tltorrez, on Flickr The bag includes an Imagineer book, a coupon for the Passport Kit and some more stocking stuffers that I found at Michaels (binoculars, glider and coloring pages). I wanted to buy the Passport Kit in advance but I couldnt find it anywhere for a reasonable price, so I settled for the coupon (design by BabaBear). I also included a glow toy. DS always asks for these things when were at nighttime parades and fireworks, so I figured Id buy a nice one in advance. Epcot Bag Contents by tltorrez, on Flickr The toy in this one is a Kim Possible game for the Nintendo DS. I attached a message from KP (Victoria). Epcot Gift by tltorrez, on Flickr Have I totally gone off the deep end yet?
The third goody bag is a basket from AK. This is probably my favorite. He'll get this on Day 3, our off day. We're going to AK on Day 5 and 6. I got the basket for a few bucks from Michaels. It'll be a hassle to pack but the theme fit better than any of the gift bags I had. AK Basket by tltorrez, on Flickr Here's the personalized message (by Natalie). I don't know how it got ripped; i'll have to reprint it before we go. AK Message by tltorrez, on Flickr The basket includes the Imagineer book, a field guide to the AK animals, a hat, an animal puzzle and coupons for the passport and safari journal (BabaBear). The field guide is one given to Cast Members; I got it off eBay for a reasonable price. The hat I picked up for $3 and added AK pins (eBay). The toy is Safari Mickey, of course. AK Bag Contents by tltorrez, on Flickr This is the hat. I could've bought a safari hat but I really wanted a floppy hat that could be folded up into a pocket. I didn't want anything bulky that we had to carry around. AK Bag - Hat (front) by tltorrez, on Flickr AK Hat (back) by tltorrez, on Flickr
The fourth bag is for DHS. Hell get this on Day 6 (partial AK day) and well go to DHS on Day 7. DHS Bag by tltorrez, on Flickr Here's the message from Buzz & Woody (Shadowryter): DHS Message by tltorrez, on Flickr I had a hard time figuring out the theme of this one until a friend suggested the animation theme. So this one has the Imagineer book, a book about animating movies and a How-to-Draw Disney characters book. DHS Bag - Books by tltorrez, on Flickr Plus more inexpensive Toy Story stuff from Michaels. The toy is a Club Penguin Nintendo DS game. DHS Bag - Toys by tltorrez, on Flickr I have a few more items to share but I have to wait until after the trip to post. Some family members might be peeking. Of course, in addition to the goody bags I also printed mousekeeping envelopes, CM appreciation cards, character dining invitations, etc. Thanks again to all the wonderful DISigners. This has been so much fun. I'm glad these are done. But now I have to figure out what to do with myself for the next 28 days!
Thanks everyone! At least it gave me something to do these last couple months. I'm going to make Lime Green Mickey Heads today. I'm thinking about breaking out the new Silhouette die cutter for this one.
Amazing! You should consider making these for people going on trips! They are wonderful!!!Not only are the ideas fantastic, they are professionally executed!
Now there's an idea. But really you shouldn't encourage me. You have no idea how much stuff is not getting done because I've been totally Disney obsessed.
Oh, trust me. I know! I found this thread through jumping in on your post in order to help someone else plan her vacation. (I almost offered to create her touring plan. I am sick!) Unfortunately for me, I don't have the great stuff to show for all the time. hehe. Really, you could sell those "kits."
Those are fantastic! And I bet people coming from the UK would really appreciate being able to order something like that from you and find them in their rooms on arrival I tried to buy a few bits and pieces in advance when we went to WDW but I couldn't keep much a secret with "helpers" packing
I want a platypus. I love what you have done. I think it is really awesome. And I can hear the joy you got from doing it. Could you tell me where you found the Kimicommunicator?
I found the Kimmunicator game on Amazon. I have Amazon Prime (pay a yearly free and get free two-day shipping) so I buy practically everything on Amazon. I rarely shop in brick and mortar stores anymore.

The average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. is now within a dime of $4.
Drivers in 22 states are paying more than the national average of $3.91 per gallon. In Alaska, California and Connecticut they're paying $4.20 or more.
With one day left in April, gas prices are up 30 cents for the month. On average, the increase has been slightly more than a penny per day. At that rate, the national average for gas would reach $4 on Sunday, May 8. In 2008, when gas hit a record of $4.11 per gallon in July, it didn't cost $4 until June 8.
The main reason gas is up is the high price of oil. It rose again Friday, boosted by a weaker dollar. The dollar hit a three-year low against six major currencies. Since oil and other commodities are priced in dollars, they become more attractive to buyers with other currencies and prices rise.
Benchmark crude for June delivery rose $1.07 to settle at $113.93 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Oil and gasoline futures have risen about 35 percent since mid-February when uprisings broke out in Libya and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Traders have been concerned about disruptions to oil supplies. So far, only Libya's daily production of 1.6 million barrels a day has been lost. Libya supplied less than 2 percent of the world's oil, most of it going to Europe. Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nations have covered much of the shortfall.
The latest increase in retail gas — 2 cents overnight — followed the shutdown of seven refineries in Texas, Alabama and Pennsylvania after severe storms this week. The shutdowns aren't expected to last more than a few days, but 750,000 to 1 million barrels a day of production has been interrupted, according to Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service.
The affected refineries mostly ship product to the Southeast, Midwest and Gulf Coast states, Kloza said. Motorists there will like see the biggest increases in pump prices.
Overall, economists say consumers continue to spend. But they know high gas and food prices are having an impact.
"The bad news is that consumer spending adjusted for inflation has lost the momentum it had in the last quarter of 2010," said Paul Dales, an economist with Capital Economics. .
Some economists think lower gas prices could encourage consumer spending in other areas, although the high unemployment rate will keep the economic recovery in low gear this year.
In other futures trading, heating oil rose 2.99 cents to settle at $3.2758 per gallon, gasoline futures gained 2.88 cents to settle at $3.3984 per gallon and natural gas rose 12.8 cents to settle at $4.761 on the Nymex.
In London, Brent crude rose 87 cents to settle at $125.89 on the ICE Futures exchange.

HoopsHype Merchandising rumors
Nevertheless, Jones is not someone who will stand out in history — it's likely he'll go down as the player who the Los Angeles Lakers traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 1999 so that a young Kobe Bryant could take on a bigger role. Like many players through history, Jones will be remembered almost entirely by fans who came of age in his particular era. That's a shame, in a way, because Jones was valuable and deserves notice. Of course, it is maybe a little goofy to own 11 different Eddie Jones jerseys. This photo does not lie (via @traread): Yahoo! Sports
Collectors of Kobe Bryant memorabilia will get their wish, as ESPN.com has learned that a settlement has been reached between the Los Angeles Lakers guard and a company that was auctioning off his memorabilia. Exactly one week before the two sides were due to go to trial in New Jersey, a deal was reached, Goldin Auctions president Ken Goldin said on Monday morning. ESPN.com
"We regret our actions and statements related to the Kobe Bryant auction memorabilia," said Joe and Pamela Bryant in a statement, provided by a publicist. "We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we have caused our son and appreciate the financial support he has provided over the years. We also apologize to Goldin Auctions for their inadvertent involvement in this matter and thank them for their assistance." While Goldin said he wasn't free to divulge the terms of the settlement, what is clear is that approximately 90 percent of what previously was being offered has been pulled off the table. Goldin Auctions is now only offering six items for sale, though they are still some of the most highly coveted. ESPN.com
Shaquille O'Neal has been Superman, the Big Diesel, the Big Aristotle and the Big AARP, among other nicknames. Now, he can add the Big High-Fructose Corn Syrup to that list. Shaq is launching a line of cream sodas with Arizona Beverage. It will come in at least four flavors (pictured: strawberry, orange, vanilla and blueberry), and according to Sports Business Daily, 50 million cans will be in circulation in June. For The Win
All of Brooklyn can get behind these tan lines. Nets bikinis and other fun summer merchandise will be available on the Coney Island beachfront this season in the basketball team's signature black and white. New York Daily News
Julien's Auctions will present historic collections including iconic pieces from the Harlan Werner Muhammad Ali Collection, the Whalen "Whaley" Monica World Series and All-Star Game collection in its entirety, and the collection of NBA Legend Elgin Baylor. Basketball will take center court when the Collection of Elgin Baylor is also offered on Friday. The exclusive collection of the eleven-time NBA All-Star, Basketball Hall of Fame inductee and L.A. Lakers legend features memorabilia from every stage of his career. Artdaily.org
Additional auction highlights include a 1980's sideline chair from Chicago Stadium, used as part of the Chicago Bulls team bench, game used and signed by Michael Jordan; Jordan's 1992 game worn and signed shoes; LeBron James' 2002-03 Saint Vincent-Saint Mary High School game worn uniform Artdaily.org
Lakers Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor will be auctioning off memorabilia, awards and personal items on May 31 with the help of Julien's Auctions. Baylor, whose No. 22 jersey is retired at Staples Center, is making available his 1959 All-Star Game MVP Trophy, his 1971-72 championship ring and a number of rare items accumulated over his legendary career. "I worked and played as hard as I possibly could. My college coach said just give it your best effort and then you can feel good about what you've done," Baylor told Michael Mink of Investor's Business Daily. "I was always competitive. I always wanted to win regardless of what I was doing. I would just keep going until I wore my opponent out. That was my approach," the 6-foot-5 former forward said. Los Angeles Times
New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony has put together an MVP-type season. And fans have noticed. For the first time since the NBA began releasing jersey sales in 2001-02, Anthony has the top-selling jersey in the NBA this season, climbing ahead of Miami Heat All-Star LeBron James who had the top spot from April 2012 through November 26, 2012. USA Today Sports
Upper Deck will be the latest company to benefit from the infinite popularity of Michael Jordan , issuing a card set that features him during his North Carolina days. Upper Deck will release just 250 sets of 23 cards of Jordan in college, four Jordan autograph cards, one replica 1982 championship ring, and two other premium cards. The set could be valued as high as $5,000. Jordan's 1984 Star rookie card with the Bulls is valued as high as $5,000 in mint condition. Star released NBA team sets on a limited run when Topps, the main basketball card company, stopped producing cards for a decade, making the Jordan card even more valuable. Boston Globe
The NBA and the Grateful Dead have collaborated to produce t-shirts that combine the logos of various playoff teams with the legendary band's famous artwork. The men's shirts feature a modified version of the Grateful Dead's signature skull logo, which appeared on the Steal Your Face album cover in 1976. A basketball design replaces the lightning bolt in the center of the skull. The women's shirts star one of the group's "dancing bear" figures that was included on History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice) in 1973. Both designs include team names and logos in 1970s era lettering. SI.com
According to the SBJ article, once a plan to sell jersey ads is in place, the league must devise a way to split revenue from the ad sales among the 30 teams. A source told the magazine that league executives have yet to reach an agreement on how best to share the estimated $100 million in jersey ad revenue. "The idea of pooling a percentage of proceeds among the league's 30 teams, sources said, is one way the league is looking to offset the wide range in the value of jersey deals between high-revenue teams like the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers and low-revenue teams such as the Memphis Grizzlies and Charlotte Bobcats," according to the SBJ article. FOXSports Ohio
If you've got a spare $100,000 lying around and are reading this website, you are probably OK with spending all that money on something basketball-related, just so long as it's awesome. And though, as a Bulls fan, I might be biased, I'm fairly certain that this fits the bill — it's the structural blueprint for the United Center's Michael Jordan statue that everyone takes a picture with whenever they go to a Bulls game. And it's on eBay. The Score
Granted, the term "throwback uniform" tends to be a bit of overstatement for a team only now in its 25th season, but the Heat are going retro on Friday night in Indiana. As part of the NBA Hardwood Classics Nights program, the Heat are one of seven teams that will wear retro uniforms this season, including against the Pacers, in the game on both Sun Sports and ESPN. The classic uniforms will be worn periodically from Jan. 30 through March 30. South Florida Sun-Sentinel
The other retro uniforms will include: Atlanta Hawks "Spreadwings" home uniform (1998-99 season): Features the Atlanta Hawk stretching its wings across the front of the jersey. Chicago Bulls "Pinstripe" alternate road uniform (1995-96 season): Features red stripes on a black jersey with red and white trim. Indiana Pacers "Classic pinstripe" home uniform (1996-97 season): Features navy stripes on a white jersey with gold and navy trim. South Florida Sun-Sentinel

The Hartville Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Hartville host a Civil War reenactment to commemorate the Battle of Hartville, fought on Jan. 11, 1863.
The reenactment camps and "Civil War Period vendors" are on the property surrounding the Steele Mansion, which is a privately owned historical home in Hartville. The mansion was built by a confederate soldier after the war. The property surrounding the mansion is where confederate troops were camped during the Battle of Hartville.
On Friday, all area schools are invited to attend "school day" at the reenactment camps, where children can tour the camps to see how the solders lived and fought. The camps are open to the public all weekend. Battles are fought throughout the weekend at the Steele Mansion property; however, one battle is on the streets of Hartville, where the actual Battle of Hartville took place.
There is a Civil War times ball Saturday evening, hosted on the front lawn of the Steele Mansion. There are many other activities planned.
Admission is free. Visit our website for details.

Tables 1.1 - Spreadsheet for Mac
Those of you who are tired of waiting for a Universal Binary of Excel and need a basic spreadsheet should check out Tables. It's a relatively new Universal Binary spreadsheet for OS X which has just been bumped to version 1.1. It's true, this is far from a real Excel replacement, lacking as it does much of Excel's advanced functionality (e.g. graphing and Macros). However, if you're only doing light number crunching then Tables might be just the trick. It is a nice looking program, but IMO entirely too expensive at € 39 (~$52).

10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Whether you're preparing to say your vows or just gearing up to watch friends or family say "I do," finding the perfect wedding hairstyle is no piece of (wedding) cake. If you're in search of inspiration for your next marital occasion, look no further than these gorgeous wedding hairstyles for long hair.
Incorporate a Braid
This multi-textured look, as seen on Blake Lively, would be perfect for a beach or island wedding, with or without the gilded adornment.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Textured Bun
A twisted, slightly rumpled bun with loose wavy tendrils is romantic and bridges the gap between bohemian and classic.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Accessorize Your Updo
A thick embellished headband as the focal point of your hairstyle is a great choice for those with bangs or shorter layers in front, like Dianna Agron. Tease the hair at the crown to soften the look.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Pulled Back
If you want to keep all of your hair off your face, try pulling it back and twisting it into a tight bun like Amanda Seyfried, then use your fingers to loosen the front of the hair closest to the face, so it doesn't look too severe.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Over the Shoulder
For a pretty, laid-back look that isn't too casual, create a side part and push hair over the opposite shoulder, tucking the rest behind one ear like Diane Kruger. Use pins or a clip to keep hair in place.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Woven Updo
Wrapping long hair around itself will result in a cool woven effect, like this thick bun on Angelina Jolie.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Loose Bun
A braided bun like Jessica Alba's looks amazing when contrasted with loose, texturized hair around the face. Pull strands out from the front after creating the updo for a flattering "undone" look.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Polished Ponytail
If a "natural," unfussy vibe is your thing, try creating a side part and pulling hair into a slightly tousled ponytail over one shoulder like Penelope Cruz. After you've finished creating the ponytail, wrap strands of hair around the base to conceal the hair band for a more refined effect.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Romantic Updo
Long, fine hair types will love this look, as seen on Keira Knightley, because twisting the hair before creating the updo creates the illusion of thickness and makes hair appear more plentiful.
10 Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Braided Chignon
This unique braided twist is definitely not easy to create, but it's beautiful and super interesting. Wearing it with sleek strands like Emilia Clarke keeps the look from becoming too "boho."

i was looking a savage axis series was wondering if anyone has one and if there accurate its in my price range either the 223 or 22-250
AR-15, Mini-14, bolt gun in .223 are all good choices.
People get the government they deserve.
On the cheaper side you can always look for a nice mosin and pick up a few spam cans of ammo for plinking and some match grade ammo for hunting.
Stevens model 200. Whatever caliber you want.
.204 Ruger might be the perfect caliber for your needs. Here's one in your price range:Howa 5 + 1 204 Ruger Bolt Action Rifle w/Blue Steel Barrel & $456.00 SHIPS FREE
A 243 also will knock either one rolling if you hit em anywhere in the chest cavity. As to a 223 or a 250 either will kill em dead wo a solid bullet pass through.

Ways to Use Chutney
By Susan Westmoreland

I bought chutney for a recipe and needed only a little. What are some good ways to use the rest?Answer
Savor a generous spoonful the traditional way, alongside curry dishes. Or buzz some in the blender until smooth and use as a glaze for roast ham or chicken, or -- with a little mustard stirred in -- as a dipping sauce for shish kebabs or mini-frankfurters. You could also chop it and swirl into softened cream cheese to serve with crackers or apple slices. Or stir into mayonnaise when you want a delicious spread for ham or turkey sandwiches.Latest Stories
