Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Welcome foolish mortals. So you are visiting Disneyland and thinking about stopping by The Haunted Mansion? I hope you do. There may be 999 happy haunts around the property, but we are always happy to have even more company. After all, we've been offering tours of our home for 40 years now.You can come join us at the far side of New Orleans Square. Frankly, our old mansion is fairly easy to spot, but if you hear the screams coming from Splash Mountain, you are getting close. Just enter through the gate.We love having people of all ages and sizes visit us. We do request that little kids keep their parents company (since parents are so easily frightened, you know.) Additionally, if you are in a wheelchair, we will need you to transfer. One of our living maids or butlers will be happy to assist you with this.As you wait for your visit, please feel free to tour our garden. On busy days, you'll get plenty of time to stop and view the plants and the funny tombs along the path. We don't like to keep you waiting, and it seems most people don't need to wait longer than 13 minutes to visit us, except on the longest days.Once you have reached the front of the line, you will enter the portrait gallery. It is at this point that I introduce myself to you. While you are standing in the center of the room, you will see that the portraits around you stretch. As I point out that the room has no windows or doors, the lights dim, and you view a man hanging from the ceiling. At this point in the ride, people always scream. I must admit to feeling a little badly here because I don't mean to frighten them. That much. But most seem to be smiling when they leave, so maybe they really are enjoying it.From there, you will walk down a corridor. On your left, you will see a fierce storm brewing. It storms there 365 days a year, even in Southern California sunshine. On the right, you will see more paintings that magically change. And up ahead are busts that follow you with their eyes.Now you are getting to the heart of the attraction. You will load Doom Buggies. These wonderful devices allow me to control your view. They are constantly moving and twist and turn to give you the best tour of the house. Once you and one or two of your closest living friends are seated, we will begin our six minute tour.We start you out with an endless hallway and corridor of doors, passing through a conservatory. Look carefully. You never know where you'll see evidence of the presence of a ghost.But to really get things started, we must visit Madame Leota. This woman lives inside her crystal ball and calls forth my fellow spirits during a seance.It is at this point I leave you to explore on your own for a while. You pass by a ballroom where some of my fellow spirits are partying. There are ghosts dancing and one blowing out candles on a cake. Even the portraits on the wall are ghostly.Following that, you visit our one vengeful spirit, a murderous bride. Men, be careful. She is just after your money.From there, you leave our mansion and head out to the cemetery. There, you'll find more happy ghosts partying and having a great time. Some pop up from behind gravestones while others are sitting out having a tea party. We have five singing busts who entertain you with a song called "Grim Grinning Ghosts."From here, you are pretty much ready to leave. There is just one catch I always "forget" to tell you about until right then. Beware Hitchhiking Ghosts. You find out which one has selected you to follow home until you decide to return on a more permanent basis.Only the most easily frightened seem to be scared after visiting with us. To those I say, come back in a few years, and you'll enjoy us again.Most people are amazed at how real we look. They try to guess just how the "effects" are done. I have a simple explanation for them - we are real. At least that is my story, and I am sticking to it.Haunted Mansion HolidayEvery year, the humans at Disneyland close us down for a few weeks in September to make our home over into a holiday wonderland. Personally, I hate it because I am replaced. Oh, they've found someone to do a decent facsimile of my voice, but it isn't me. At least the imposter just acts as a narrator and doesn't pretend to be me.Most living people, however, seem to love this change. It runs for 13 weeks from the first part of October through the very beginning January. (In January, they close us down again to coax the normal ghosts back into place.) Based on the movie Nightmare Before Christmas, the decorations combine Halloween and Christmas as imagined by host Jack Skellington. As I said, it is extremely popular. Wait times can get close to one hour, and the people at Disneyland employee Fast Pass to allow guests to come back for a shorter wait later in the day.Everything about our home is festive. The outside is covered in wreaths and jack-o-lanterns. Inside, there are new picture in the portrait galleries. While some ghosts stick around, like in the ballroom, the ghostly bride flees and allows for the list of naughty and nice names to take her place. Even the Hitchhiking Ghosts leave to haunt the living full time. Instead, you get a present from Oogie Boogie. However, Madame Leota is still inside her crystal ball reciting the 13 days of Christmas. Jack Skellington gets creative every year, making little changes. One thing that always changes is the gingerbread house in the Ballroom. They make something new and different every year to keep guests coming back.ConclusionHonestly, I don't feel the need to sell ourselves too much. Everyone seems to think that the Haunted Mansion is a must see part of a Disneyland visit. So really, all I need to say is "Hurry back."I could not let the Second Annual All Things Disney Write-Off take place without submitting a review of my mansion.

text: Monterey County enjoys a cool, foggy climate that is ideal for Pinot Noir. Typically, bud break begins several weeks earlier and harvest ends several weeks later than other growing regions. This extra month of time on the vine allows the grapes to develop intense, complex flavors. Monterey County houses the significant Monterey AVA, which includes nine sub-regions, united by the cooling influence of Monterey Bay.

1). I don't know how to run like Jack Sparrow. Literally. I can't. Plus I hate running, so I think this will just be something that I'll kind of just... ignore. oops. lol
2). Most of the lines I know for Captain Jack Sparrow are ones from Curse of the Black Pearl and a few from On Stranger Tides. Ask me about lines from Dead Man's Chest or At World's End and I will probably just try to make something up that sounds sorta close to what Jack may have said.
3). I have realized that I have been afraid of Jack Sparrow impersonators for a long time. I just remember the first couple of conventions I went to, and I tried to talk to a couple of Jack Sparrows and they were in character and all that... and that intimidated me. Basically this happened a lot:
Me: Look, Jack Sparrow!
Impersonator: That's *Captain* Jack Sparrow....
Me: Omg. O__O He's angry at me.... wahhh I'm so sorry *walks away slowly*
Yea, I didn't understand the whole impersonator = being in character thing and I didn't know Jack Sparrow's character very well (tbh he was just a character I could recognize), so I just thought whenever they corrected me, they were all just pissed off that I didn't get the character name right. So basically I went through the first 2 years or so of going to conventions thinking that all the Jack Sparrow impersonators at the conventions would just get mad at me when I approached them, so I stopped approaching them, unless they looked friendly to me, which most of them didn't look friendly.... Plus man. they just look really intimidating in general. Seeing how legit and intense their costumes were really scared me.... yea I'm such a wimp. Not much has changed since then... although I seemed to have joined them haha
4). I can dance to Pop, Lock, and Drop It quite well and think it would be amusing to become known as that one Jack Sparrow that can dance like that lol
5). Finals are coming up. I should be studying, but I am online instead. And I am looking forward to a promotional event that I will be doing for the UW Madison Costume Play and Design Guild. Going to be standing out on campus as Captain Jack Sparrow promoting a benefit night for the group, so I'm super excited about that. Only thing is I may need to go to my last 2 classes of the day as Jack Sparrow, which I'd really rather not do since they are both held in large lecture halls with 150+ people in them. So, walking in as Jack Sparrow would be super awkward. So I am currently devising a plan that will hopefully make it so that I don't have to go to class in costume.... but it may be unavoidable...unless I just skip class...

Grand Marais Park Board talks about Community Center Pool budget cuts
Fri, 02/08/2013 - 12:23pmThe Cook County Community Center Steering Committee will be getting some input from the Grand Marais Park Board at their next meeting. Park Board Member and City Councilor Bill Lenz updated the park board on budget-induced reductions to the Cook County Family YMCA design at their meeting on February 5.
The amount designated for outdoor amenities, including a new softball field, has been limited to $500,000 in order to leave as much money as possible for the YMCA building. "We feel that we have to get the building done," said Lenz. "At this point, the ball field is kind of up in the air."
"The ball field is really important to our plans," said Park Manager Dave Tersteeg. The park's Master Plan calls for replacing the ball field with full-service RV sites when the county builds a new ball field on its current Community Center property. Lenz said that he has told the steering committee that if a new field is not built, Grand Marais will eventually have one fewer field than it needs.

Grand Portage Elders keep moving with Wisdom Steps
Thu, 02/07/2013 - 11:47amThe Elders at the Grand Portage Elderly Nutrition Program are staying busy. There continues to be strong participation in weekly water aerobics, chair exercise and Wisdom Steps programs. These programs are especially important as the weather makes it hard to get outdoors. ENP Director Patty Winchell-Dahl said, "When we keep moving, we have less pain from arthritis, stay strong and are less likely to fall. Keeping active makes us healthier and can contribute to a positive, happier outlook on life."
Anyone interested in participating with Wisdom Steps, please call Carol Hackett at (218) 475-2655. All types of exercise count towards your goal for Wisdom Steps not just walking. The program is open to adults 50 years of age and older.
The ENP has many opportunities to volunteer. Currently ENP is in need of Elders to listen to the grade school children read twice a week. Anyone with some time, please call Patty at the ENP at 457-2655 or 475-2002.
Moose population drops dramatically; no hunting season
Thu, 02/07/2013 - 11:32amA recently completed aerial survey of moose in northeastern Minnesota indicates the rate of population decline has accelerated dramatically.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced Wednesday that the northeast population declined 35 percent from last year. Since 2010, the moose population has declined 52 percent.
In response to the survey results, the DNR will not open a 2013 state moose hunting season or consider opening future seasons unless the population recovers.
"The state's moose population has been in decline for years but never at the precipitous rate documented this winter," said Tom Landwehr, DNR commissioner. "This is further and definitive evidence the population is not healthy. It reaffirms the conservation community's need to better understand why this iconic species of the north is disappearing from our state."
Landwehr stressed the state's limited hunts are not the cause of the population decline. "Yet taking this action is reasonable and responsible in light of latest data and an uncertain future," he said
Based on the aerial survey conducted in January, the new population estimate is 2,760 animals, down from 4,230 in 2012. The population estimate was as high as 8,840 as recently as 2006.
"It's now prudent to control every source of mortality we can as we seek to understand causes of population decline,'' said Landwehr.
Starting in January, wildlife researchers began fitting 100 moose in northeastern Minnesota with GPS tracking and data collection collars. This multi-year research project will investigate the causes of adult moose mortality, calf mortality, calf survival, moose use of existing habitat and habitat quality.
To date, 92 collars have been placed on moose in the Grand Marais, Ely and Two Harbors areas.

Pardew Looking To Spurs For Striker Deal?
Alan Pardew is considering the possibility of signing Tottenham duo Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch to fill the striker void. Alan Pardew: "After the Andy Carroll thing I am not going to use the word 'promise', it is a dangerous word. "However, I am confident we will get a striker in. "After the Orlando game there were plenty of fans who came out to see us and mentioned on more than one occasion to me 'where's the striker?' "It is not something that is far from my mind. "Everybody will start making moves shortly. "We do not want to miss out – but we are ahead of the game. "We have been trying to bring a striker in for a while, we are ahead of the game. "We know exactly what the market is and we will pitch in when it is right."

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi everyone. I am currently working on a logotype for a medium-sized organic food store. Unfortunately, after working on this for some hours, I can no longer discern where the weak points of this thing are.
Anybody care to give me a little backup? Any kind of help appreciated!
I really like. The inktrap-like joints look very much organic :-)
The part that IMO may need a bit of tweaking is the "..us..". The /u/ looks almost vertical, and /s/ appears to have a negative slant (and by that perhaps contributing to how /u/ looks).
Thanks for you reply, Alex.
The diverting slant in the "u" results from the initial construction, which was based on the way you would write a u with joined up writing, as a series of loops, hence the slight thickening of the u's bars.
I will straighten that and see it how it comes out.
regarding the s, the hook shape is a regional thing. People learn to write it like that in elemetary school, so I thought I might add that to incorporate some of the local peculiarities.
To straighten that thing out, I think I would have to add a "second storey" to the thing.
Not to thrilled about that beforehand but maybe the result will change my mind.
Advice much appreciated, thank you!
Here are the changes I have made to the "us"-part:
Not sure about the s, though.
Let me know what you think.
I prefer the original s, partly because its similar to how I draw it with a brush. I can see very slight differences in the two h's and I think you should exaggerate those a bit more. You don't want people to think you've used a font! The a & u still look a little heavy. Use the c as a model for a.
Hi Justin!
I had started out with equal thickness, but as the hind part of "häusle" has a lot less ascenders than the front part, it came out much brighter in my printouts, so I increased the line width of those three letters a little bit to make them compete against the others better.
Will definitely play up on the differences between the hs, though. Good advice, much appreciated!

Nebraska State GemstoneBlue Agate (Blue chalcedony)(SiO2 - Silicon Dioxide)Adopted on March 1, 1967.Blue chalcedony, commonly called the blue agate, was named Nebraska's state gemstone by legislative action in 1967. A pale stone, blue chalcedony, sometimes a dark internal form with bands of blue and white and often has a colorless streak. Blue agates often are used to make jewelry. Blue Agate: Nebraska State Gemstone or GemBlue Agate has been found in place in wind-deposited claystones in the Chadron Formation of Oligocene Age in Sioux and Dawes counties. These gems have been found in colors other than blue and the large oval stone is a doublet with a blackened back to highlight the plumes in this material. Chalcedony is found in many deposit forms. Stalactite growths of the mineral are seen in numerous places and often assume fantastic shapes and forms. Chalcedony also may replace materials such as wood. The blue agate can be found in northwestern Nebraska. The chalcedony probably originated from silica that was freed when devitrification (changing from a glassy to a crystalline state) of wind-blown volcanic ash took place. The chalcedony appears to have formed in or near sources of alkaline water. On Nebraska's centennial, the governor signed a bill designating blue chalcedony, commonly called the blue agate, as Nebraska's official state gemstone. The Blue Agate became the state gem on March 1, 1967 (Nebraska's Centennial). Meaning and Uses of Blue ChalcedonyAgate – from the Greek achates) – is the old name of a Sicilian river, rich in precious stones of variegated colours. The richness of blue has a therapeutic, relaxing effect on the nervous system. It evokes shades of the sea and maternal warmth and protection. Blue Chalcedony is an excellent crystal for public speakers and those who speak for a living. Lawyers and political speakers might benefit from touching this stone to the tip of their tongue while listening to their opponents to enhance their counter arguments. Actors might rub it against their lips and throat, while singers may drink a glass of water in which Chalcedony has soaked for an hour before going on stage. Wearing this crystal around the neck helps overcome stage fright and the fear of public speaking. Chalcedony was considered a sacred stone by the Native American Indians, using it to promote stability during their ceremonial activities. It is still in use today for meditations, and as a pathway for receiving successful thought transmissions. Nebraska Revised Statute 90-108Chapter 90 » 90-108

With baking soda and hard water, it becomes like a soap and just builds up more instead of stripping the dead skin and oils away. Apple Cider Vinegar just clung to my hair. I did this with un-dyed hair initially and never got out of a lanky-oily-clumpy phase, no matter what combination of stuff I tried.
With my dyed hair and hard water, my scalp seems to do okay with water only, but it still builds up after a week or so. The ends of my hair always get a bit brittle. It seems like I can't get the oils down the shaft, no matter how much I brush. Oh well, the color lasts pretty well with these infrequent washings .

A Minnesota soldier died in Iraq on Sunday when his semitrailer truck rolled over, throwing him to the ground and crushing him before it came to a stop, the Pentagon and his family said Tuesday.
Army Pfc. Elden D. Arcand, 22, of White Bear Lake, was one of two soldiers killed in the accident near Tal Afar in northern Iraq. His mother, Kelly Freudenberg, said her son volunteered to join the Army last year with the thought that he could help relieve the soldiers already in Iraq.
"He said, `I want to go over there so the ones over there can come home and be with their families,'-" recalled Freudenberg, who spoke from her Forest Lake home on Tuesday night. "He wanted to support our country."
Arcand was the 26th Minnesotan to die in the Iraq war.
Freudenberg said she doesn't know whether the vehicle was speeding to avoid being hit by insurgents or the driver lost control because of the road conditions. The family was not told if Arcand was the driver. Freudenberg said her best guess is that the combination of speed, inexperience with the driving conditions and darkness, as it was evening when the accident occurred, contributed to the crash.
Arcand was in his third month of duty in Iraq with the 360th Transportation Company as a licensed truck driver. He was in a M915A1 tractor, a military semi, pulling a 7,500-gallon tanker at the time of the crash.
He graduated from Forest Lake High School in 2001, taking a maintenance job at a downtown St. Paul bank after his schooling. "He had a deep heart," said his mother. "He cared about people. The reason he joined the Army was he believed in what we were doing over there."
A last conversation
Arcand told his mother that the locals welcomed him. "They were happy that our troops are there. They're afraid for when our troops leave," she said.
The mother and son last spoke on Saturday, when Elden described his view of the insurgency.
"Actually, he said they're pretty bad shots. You can see the mortar coming in the air, but they're not even close to where anybody is," she said. "He didn't feel as though he was in danger."
Freudenberg, who supports the war, said she understands the grief, if not the politics, of mothers who have openly criticized the war, such as Cindy Sheehan, the grieving military mother and polarizing figure at the center of a protest at the Crawford, Texas, ranch of President Bush.
"I still believe their sons believed in what they were doing," Freudenberg said. "Otherwise they died in vain, but at the same time I know that these mothers are hurting. I still support the war. I support President Bush. I hope we don't pull out our troops too soon because the Iraqi people need us.
"It breaks my heart that [protest mothers] are hurting so much that they feel the need to protest something that is so important to so many people. But that's pain. Can I be mad about that?
They're not bad people. They're just hurting.
"I am proud to be Elden's mother. I am so proud, and I wouldn't take one day back," she said.
Arcand's father, David, of White Bear Lake, declined to comment Tuesday night.
In addition to his parents, Arcand is survived by his stepfather, Christopher, stepbrothers Michael and Dan, and a stepsister, Taylor, all of Forest Lake. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Forecasting the future
A Christian Science perspective on daily life.
In the midst of the economic downturn, there's one business that's having a brisk upturn: the psychic trade – those who predict the future about everything from love and jobs to 401Ks. An article in The New York Times (Nov. 23, 2008) reported business really got rolling last summer, and it continues to pick up steam.
On the receiving end of this boom are tarot-card readers, astrologers, palm readers, and spirit channelers, some of whom say business is up 70 percent. One astrologer quoted in the Times piece looked at it this way: "People will entertain the irrational when what they consider rational collapses."
One doesn't have to dig too deeply to understand that in times of uncertainty individuals who seek clues about what lies ahead are looking for some assurance that their lives are in control. And though a desire for assurance and peace of mind is natural and right, being driven to "entertain the irrational" leads one to ask, Where can real security be found?
When his disciples asked Jesus a similar question, he responded in this way: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father" (John 14:12). This is big news – that Jesus, a healer to the world, encouraged his followers to do not just as he did – but better!

Though the ZTE ZMax has some design flaws, they're minor enough to overlook if you want an incredibly inexpensive phablet off-contract.
Sporting a big 5.7-inch display, 8-megapixel camera, and Snapdragon 400 processor, the ZTE ZMax is T-Mobile's latest supersized handset.
Short version: it took me about 20 minutes to knock about 25 percent off my monthly bill. Plus: Chromebook deal!
The T-Mobile Concord's midrange specs won't turn any heads, but it's a reliable, stylish, and inexpensive handset that doesn't require a contract.
The wireless carrier adds to its many promotions with a $5-a-month program called "Score," designed to unlock lower smartphone prices.
The carrier will also offer up to $350 per line to T-Mo subscribers to cover costs related to switching networks.
The MVNO plans to support unlocked GSM handsets from an unnamed partner in February, but we've deduced that it's T-Mobile.
The executive applauds Sprint's comeback efforts, but says its customers are mostly coming from AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
The T-Mobile Concord is an entry-level Android handset with no contract.
If you went the prepaid route and ordered T-Mobile's no-contract iPhone 6, you may have no idea what to do once it arrives.
