Chalmers-Detroit was an automobile company formed in 1908 when Hugh Chalmers bought out the Thomas-Detroit company. It was renamed to Chalmers in 1911. During the 1910s the company thrived but the post-WWI recession of the 1920s caused the company to merge with the Maxwell Automobile Company. In 1923, Chalmers ended all vehicle production. The brand is owned by Chrysler. Chalmers were considered to be an expensive car for that era. The 30 Touring and the 30 Roadster both sold for $1,500...

Mitt Abroad 2
Poor guy can't get any slack when he arrives in Poland he will be greeted by Paul Fans & thats not the late Pope Paul
Congress of the New Right.
The Congress of the New Right's program includes:
Reduced government spending, tax cuts and a flexible labor market,
Minimal government bureaucracy,
Protection of property rights,
Waiver of income tax collection,
Promotion of privatization and reprivatization,
Decommunization and Lustration - ((and I don't think they mean purification by ceremony)),
It postulates a return of capital punishment for murderers and other dangerous criminals, Liberalization of existing gun law and introduction of right to keep and bear arms,
Legalization of all drugs, including toxic ones.
Private health care and voluntary education,
The party is pro-life and thus opposes euthanasia and abortion,
It is against same-sex marriage and LGBT adoption,
Support for NATO and participation in free trade organizations,
Strong opposition to European Union, Left-wing politics and Socialism. (source: Wiki)
"Regretfully, we have learned from our friends in the American trade union central AFL-CIO representing over 12 million workers about Mitt Romney's support for the attacks against trade unions and labor rights," Andrzej Adamczyk, the head of the union's international department, wrote. "In this respect, I wish to express... our solidarity with American workers and trade unions. [Solidarity] will always support the AFL-CIO in their struggle for the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively."
"Nobody answered in the other thread why Israel should get any "favored nation" status from the United States."
Why does so much of politics in that area depend on how we treat Israel over anyone else?
You are kidding right?
The Jewish vote is a huge "must have" as are their contributions. Same here in Canada. Nothing wrong with that it's just another voting constituency that all candidates want to pander to. A very wealthy and powerful contingency.
Esh, I posted here several years ago about this. The way
I see is that our Christian nation supports Israel because they are the guardians of our Christian holy sites. Pretend for a moment that Islam did not exist. Who do you think would now be the occupiers of our Christian holy sites and therefore the enemy? And as someone else mentioned (WN?) there's the rapture thing too that has to be fulfilled by any means necessary. Christians have a need for an evil adversary, Jews would do just fine if no one else was around. Israel knows this all too well and will use us just as effectively as we use them. Being an agnostic myself it's just my own personal view of how this crazy interdependence of ours works.
Thanks vgkg.
So the Christian folks of the United States are willing to drag the whole country into war (including agnostics and atheists) simply to support Israel because Israel occupies what they "believe" to be a holy site.
We're going to war for YOUR religion (not you vgkg). American citizens will die for YOUR religion, not theirs, but yours.
Because make no mistake - if Romney wins, the US will start a war with Iran simply because they "looked at Israel funny". Anything other reason will just be an excuse. Kind of like what happened in Iraq. We knew they didn't have WMD, but we went there anyway.
My take on U.S. support for Israel is that they have been acting as a proxy for us in the region. At some point, the tail began wagging the dog.
Has any other country 1) attacked a U.S. Navy vessel - both by fighter jets and torpedo boats - killing and wounding U.S. sailors and destroying the ship, 2) spied on the U.S. to obtain nuclear weapon information, and 3) still receives mountains of foreign aid?
I'm glad to see my initial thread is a two parter. However I wasn't able to participate since my FIOS box was hit by lightening and fried so I was without my computers, iPad, three TVs, and four phones for three days! Sucked big time. I was so disconnected. All I had was the radio.. I was actually living in the 1920's!!
Solidarnosc has made it clear that they want no part of Romney in Poland, and were not involved in his invites.
When hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin workers filled the streets and occupied the state Capitol to protest Walker's agenda, a letter from Solidarity was published in a full-page ad in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The ad read:
To Public Service Workers in the State of Wisconsin:
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
On behalf of the 700,000 members of the Polish Trade Union NSZZ "Solidarnosc" (Solidarity) I wish to express our solidarity and support for your struggle against the recent assault on trade unions and trade union rights unleashed by Governor Scott Walker.
We are witnessing yet another attempt of transferring the costs of the economic crisis and of the failed financial policies to working people and their families. As much as some adjustments are necessary, we can not and must not agree that the austerity measures are synonymous with union-busting practices, the elimination of bargaining rights and the reduction of social benefits and wages.
Dear friends, please rest assured that our thoughts are with you during your protest, as we truly do hope that your just fight for decent working and living conditions, for the workers� rights will be successful.
Your victory is our victory as well.

Hi: 14° Lo:7°
By Carl Jackson Friday 08 February 2013 Updated: 08/02 15:56
THE FUTURE of a valuable service which supports hundreds of young homeless people has been secured for another year.
The Birmingham South NHS Primary Care Trust informed staff at the South Birmingham Young Homeless Project (SBYHP) last Friday (February 1) they were going to renew the contract.
In the last financial year - March 2011/April 2012 - the Project, which is based at The Depot, Belton Grove, Longbridge, has helped 388 people who came through the front door.
Out of those, 67 per cent had been made homeless because of a family breakdown and 35 people, some as young as 16, admitted to sleeping rough.
In the same period staff estimate they have given out around 100 basic packs to people for free, which contain living essentials, and more than 40 food packs.
Vanya Rousseau, debt advisor for the SBYHP, said the service would be needed more than ever with the Government's welfare reforms.
"Its going to affect people in a big way.
"They aren't aware enough of the changes and don't have enough time to prepare."
She added she had given financial support to more than 200 people in the last financial year alone.
Last Wednesday (January 30) the SBYHP hosted an open evening to help forge links with people and organisations in the area.
Andy Cartwright, Birmingham City Councillor for Longbridge, said: "It is scary enough to be a young person today but to be homeless as well?
"This gives young people a chance. It's good to give them hope which is the most vital thing you can get.
"When you walk in you see a little apartment but the heart is in it. There is very bright young people here."
Dr Diane Reeves, chief accountable officer, NHS Birmingham South Central Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "We're really positive about South Birmingham Young Homeless Project, which provides accessible services to some of our most vulnerable clients.
"The teamwork with a 'whole-person approach', which we believe is essential for supporting and empowering people to improve their health and wellbeing."
"BSC is focused on prevention, accessing good quality advice and support is a vital component in this, so the work the project is doing is very important.
"We look forward to developing stronger partnerships with the team in order to provide our population with holistic, high quality services."
As well as funding from the Primary Care Trust, the SBYHP also welcomes donations. Anyone wishing to pledge money can contact the Project on 0121 457 8736.
The Depot operates a drop-in service for 16 to 24-year-olds from 10am to 4pm Monday to Thursday.

Came dieback on young Tea/Noisette bands
Heya folks,
I've been struggling with a few roses lately, and had more than one kick the bucket. Specifically Tea/Noisette type roses. The bands start dying from the top of a cane, and then it slowly creeps down the cane until all of the leaves wilt, drop, and the plant is a bundle of sticks. I haven't the slightest idea why this has happening, and they are being amply watered and in good soil. So far I've lost:
Jeanne D'Arc (5 gallon)
Mons Tillier
Souv. De Mme Leonnie de Viennot
And Souv. D'Elise Vardon and Louis Phillipe (1 gallon) are on their way out. Considering they weathered the winter just fine, this is baffling to me. Any thoughts? I must be missing something. I just had a 1 gallon of Mrs. B R Cant go toe up, while the one next to her which is smaller, is just fine.
Me too.
I suspect freeze damage. After the worst weather, they looked okay so I thought they were safe.
After the weather warmed up, though, several did the same gradual die-off from the tips of the canes down.
Lost a pretty big Rosette Delizy that was in the ground. Young plant, but mature enough I was surprised it was KILLED.
Youngsters in 2 gallon pots:
Chateau de Clos Vougeot
Mme. Butterfly
I know the last 2 are particularly wimpy as own-root plants & these came as tiny things--should have been in a greenhouse, probably.
But the others looked good, were well foliaged, etc. (whaaaaaa! :(
Another surprise was losing some nice new basal canes from mature plants--Archduke Charles, Ducher, Mrs. Dudley Cross, a number of other teas & Chinas
Don't know for sure, but I'm gonna guess the extreme weather since it affected new soft canes on the mature plants of the most tender classes & the youngest most vulnerable babies in the HTs & floribundas.
Josh and Bluegirl, I think ya'll (when I have an opportunity, I just like to throw around my former, handy means of addressing multiples) are in drought down there aren't you? TX can be rough. Super harsh, relentless bouts of arctic quality winter but ongoing drought conditions are rougher than average. Yeesh!
Josh, argh! Why does the phrase "But wait! There's more!" come to mind? I'm not down in Dallas at the moment, but I'd guess Bluegirl's diagnosis is a good one given that the season is a weird spring following weirder winter. Cane dieback can, of course signal all kinds of nasty disease things, but if any of those are lurking, and I'm sceptical that they are, I'd say they're only secondary issues. I tend to disinfect my tools, cut back to healthy wood and all that sort of thing when dealing with dieback, just to be safest. Dispose of the cuttings in your city yard debris can/bag, not your compost pile. I think your plants will buck up as the season progresses. At least the weather isn't pelting you with the usual spring hail. We're (oddly) getting your share here in PDX.
Bluegirl, I'm so sorry about your rose losses/damage! What a crazy meteorological year for all of us! I mostly lost marginally hardy plants like calla lilies (rotted in the ground) and a ceanothus (turned black and croaked). Sigh.
Bummer, Carol. But thanks for the suggestions.
Yeah, hard winter for us. Though we didn't get the horrid, repeated, arctic spells the NE & Cent. country did, what we got was tough for our climate. Normally, teas & Chinas ( & sometimes other classes) don't go completely dormant & will often bloom or put out new growth in between fronts. Then, when a cold front comes in---KAPOW!
Drought? yeah, big time. Not just normal seasonal dryness.
We just got maybe 1/4"--with hail :( --last week. Last previous measurable rain was early Dec.--maybe 1/2". It's spotty--I think northern TX has had a few rainy fronts & SE looks like the garden of Eden.
Well, someday, we'll get in some tropical stuff & it will rain adequately again.
I would say it was definitely the winter that did them in, it just takes a while to be obvious. None of my baby roses were damaged because I covered them, but several 3 gallon (and up) potted roses who weren't covered had severe dieback. I've never had so much, and its still going.
Yikes, don't mention tropical stuff bluegirl, lol. It will likely go through us first!
Yukyuk, ain't it amazing how one's perspective changes when one moves inland!
(so sorry for the evil wish--I spent > 40 yrs. living within 30 miles of the coast--nail-biting each summer whether we'd get clobbered. Now I'm praying for a tropical storm to come in--just a little, rainy one, please)
I've lost at least 20 roses this winter, mostly yearling hybrid teas. Many came thru the worst of winter okay, started to leaf out and then we had a freeze and that did them in. It wasn't even too horrid a freeze, but it was enough. I've also had a lot of die back, for the same reason, on teas, noisettes and chinas, but the older roses can be cut back and will survive.
How awful for you to have these weather-related rose losses and problems. I'm beginning to think the new normal is "never know what to expect". I just read that Brazil is experiencing a huge drought - who would have thought? It's pretty well done in their whole orange crop. I count myself lucky with having nothing worse than lots of mildew although the usual spring flush just isn't happening. In the larger scheme of things it really doesn't seem that important any more. I'm enjoying the roses that are doing well and am hoping for better days for the ones that aren't.
Isn't the problem that the canes store energy for the first bloom, while the rest of the rose is dying? So many people advise allowing the weaker canes to remain on the rose so that those canes can supply energy to the entire rose. However, if you do that, you are facing having to replace the rose in June or later. If we are late in planting the rose, the roots will not be as well established in the heat, and the rose will get too big for the roots, and become weak the next year. (long and rambling sentence)
That is why I have cut mine way back this spring, and am still having to cut them back.
The drought was unexpected for me in Tulsa. Usually in the winter we are ok, and I do not have to worry about trying to turn on water when the hoses are unfrozen.
I have cut mine, and now the ends are becoming black. In my case, I am waiting for the own roots to kick in, and preparing to plant the new roses. I am looking for pots so that maybe I can start over with some roses, but it is looking bad out there now.
Josh, how is your aphid situation?
I often think of your situation since I have grown children with different passions than mine. In my mind I see your Dad as a person who loves a perfect pristine flawless lawn. Yet his son wants to dig holes in it, and put in roses. When we look around at our world today, we all must be thankful for the love that we have. I really think you are fortunate that he has given you the space he has. Did the ladybugs ever come?
Josh, my experience has been that of Catspa and others. I coddled and protected mine all winter---in and out of garage---in and out of cover. At some point I decided I was going Darwinian about my rose garden and quit all the coddling.
The ones that I coddled did fine but the ones in the ground that had been exposed to the "freeze thaw heatwave polar vortex heatwave" winter have definitely had dieback that I didn't notice until it began to leaf out.
I know there are many folks here happy to share cuttings of whatever you've lost.
I got Milkmaid at the same time you did and she is beautiful---although a once bloomer.
Always happy to share!
Hang in there. It gets better, and like Sammy, I'm curious, did the aphids go?
I've been blasting and smushing daily. It is SO satisfying.
I've always had the hardest time with the tea-noisettes; they are very finicky in my climate. The exception is Alister Stella Gray which grows like crazy here. I did buy a Milkmaid from Vintage this past year and it is growing and blooming like crazy. Surprise surprise. If it makes it through my horrid summer and I can ever figure out how to do cuttings, I'd be happy to provide them.

Dogma was Kevin Smith's best film until Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Many people think this is some kind of slam on religion or something like that; Dogma just points out what really is wrong with society today.
This is a very funny, clever and insightful movie with great dialogues and good acting.

She also scored four points in the 1 mile run, finishing in fourth place with a time of 5:32.10 and claimed one of the four points earned by the fourth-place record-setting 4 x 400m relay. The rest of the relay team consisted of first-year Haily Finnegan, third-year Jamie Hundsdorfer, and first-year Hanna Teer.
Finnegan would also set the STLCOP record for the 600m run, finishing in fourth place with a time of 2:00.62. Hundsdorfer claimed fifth place in the 800m run (2:44.80) and second-year Janki Patel took sixth in the 1 mile run in 5:40.89.

However, you can also say "There are several itchy athlete's foots available". I think there's some kind of rule in English where you can just add an "s" or "es" to any noun to make it plural.

One Hyde Park is for sale for a rumoured £84 million - before it's even been built. Adam Edwards reports
Some time this year, the world's most expensive apartments will be sold in London. They will cost more than a Monte Carlo mansion, have room service of a quality you would expect from The Ritz and offer views to equal the most exclusive Manhattan high-rise. The price has been put as high as £84 million. And they are not even built yet.
The apartments are four penthouses at One Hyde Park, a development consisting of four towers that will stand opposite Harvey Nichols, at the northern end of Sloane Street. It is being handled by Candy & Candy, a development company known for top-of-the-line projects. It will not be completed until 2009 and it will be aimed, like so many recent developments in the area, squarely at the international, moneyed oligarchy.
The selling agents refuse to be drawn on how much the apartments might fetch, but speculation is rife. A figure of £77m is suggested by Gary Hersham, a senior partner at Beauchamp Estates, which sells property to "embassies, high net- worth individuals, most of the royal families and the rich and famous". In other words, the wealthiest of the wealthy.
Can the apartments justify such an extraordinary price? "They will have a lot of space, good views and well-laid out accommodation," says Mr Hersham, with remarkable understatement. "Even so," he adds, "I can think of an apartment in London with a location and view that is just as spectacular."
He declines to reveal where this apartment is, or why it is better, or what staggering price he will sell it for. Is he really suggesting that the penthouses at One Hyde Park could rapidly become the world's second-most expensive apartments? We shall see.
What is certain, however, is that a west London flat is now a must-have accessory for those who think of noughts as nickels. Traditionally, London's super-rich have lived in period properties of one kind or another: Georgian townhouses in smart squares, or red-brick mansion blocks within striking distance of Knightsbridge. Nowadays, however, buyers from Russia, India and the Middle East are clamouring for apartments in new developments for three main reasons - security, parking and service.
"Buyers want security whether they are in residence or not," says Ed Lewis, the director of residential development in London for the estate agency Savills. "Many of the people who buy these apartments are only in town for a few weeks a year, but they want their property to be safe and sound for 365 days a year. An apartment is easier to keep secure than a terraced house."
The security at One Hyde Park has been created by former SAS specialists and will include bulletproof windows, iris scanners and panic rooms. There will be a 24-hour concierge, with a door policy stricter than that of the Ivy, and a security team that can respond instantly. And, like all the new apartment blocks, it will have underground parking with a numberplate recognition system.
One Hyde Park will also, as well as having gyms and swimming pools, offer a business centre with dedicated secretaries and the equivalent of hotel room service. "A lot of developments offer a full concierge service, but only one or two really provide it," says Mr Lewis.
The recently completed Knightsbridge block, opposite One Hyde Park, where the penthouse flat sold for £18 million, has an arrangement with the Hyatt through which the hotel organises butler and maid service, theatre and restaurant bookings, and dry cleaning for residents. One Hyde Park will have a similar arrangement with the adjoining Mandarin Oriental hotel.
Andrew Jones, the head of sales for new homes in London with Knight Frank, says the capital is now competing in a global arena. The international market is more comfortable with flats than houses, he explains, and One Hyde Park "ticks all the boxes".
"What is special about it," says Mr Jones, "is that it is 100 per cent new- build, created by the smartest architect. It has outrageously high specifications - the best fixtures and fittings you can buy, by the best designers.
"London is now the leading international city in the world. The rich all want to live here - it is safe and non-domiciled residents don't have to pay tax - and they want to live in flats, just as they do in capitals around the globe."
In particular, they want flats in the right location. Unfortunately, prime residential London has a limited number of new apartment blocks. "New-build property is at a premium in the best locations in London, because there is very little stock available," says Shirley Humphries, of Harrods Estates, which has several Mayfair and Knightsbridge apartments on its books at about the £10 million mark.
"Old buildings are preserved and rarely pulled down. There are few sites anywhere in the Knightsbridge/Belgravia area for a new-build block. And when a site does occasionally become available in the right area, such as One Hyde Park, it is limited in the height it can be built to."
The shortage has meant that offices are now being converted into apartments. Australia's richest man, James Packer, the son of the late media mogul Kerry Packer, has reportedly paid £15 million for a newly converted flat on three floors in Park Street, Mayfair.
The building, originally residential, was turned into offices in the 1940s, when Winston Churchill held cabinet meetings there. Currently for sale through Savills is a penthouse in Park Lane, in what used to be a bank, for £4.95 million (Savills Sloane Street, 020 7824 9021).
It is estimated that about 500 to 600 such conversion schemes are currently under way in Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Belgravia and Kensington and Chelsea. In Mayfair alone, according to estate agency DTZ Residential, "reconversion" has increased the supply of apartments by 15 per cent over the past five years.
Meanwhile, One Hyde Park, when it is completed, will be the home of London's most expensive apartment. And Ed Lewis, of Savills, for one, does not believe that it will lose that accolade in a hurry.
"I don't think it can be toppled in the foreseeable future," he says. "It is the ultimate location in what is currently the world's most fashionable and expensive city."
The most expensive apartments on the planet
- The Pierre Penthouse, Manhattan The three-storey apartment perched on top of the Pierre Hotel in Fifth Avenue is billed as "the most important and spectacular penthouse in the world". It has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms (£37 million)
- Time Warner Center, Manhattan The apartment takes the whole of the 79th floor of one tower. It has eight bathrooms, wall-to-wall windows, 12ft ceilings and 360-degree views of the city. Residents can use the services of the Mandarin Oriental hotel below (£18 million)
- Tomson Riviera, Shanghai A 1,000-square metre duplex atop a new-build block on the east bank of the Huangpu River, a stone's throw from the famous Oriental Pearl Tower and Jinmao Tower. It boasts the most luxurious interior with the finest view in the premier spot in the city (£12 million)
- Wilshire Condominium, Beverly Hills A duplex on part of the top floors in the grand Wilshire condominium. It includes rock-crystal chandeliers and a bronze and iron staircase. The building's services include a valet (£9 million)
- Fisher Island, Miami A six-bedroom, seven-bathroom flat on a 216-acre, private residential community that was built in the 1920s as a winter estate for the Vanderbilts, one of America's wealthiest families. It comes with a five-car garage, marble floors and opens on to a mile of beach exclusive to residents (£9 million)

Modesto Police Department to enforce motorcycle safety
The Modesto Police Department will conduct a motorcycle safety enforcement operation Thursday. Extra officers will be on duty patrolling areas frequented by motorcyclists and where motorcycle crashes occur.
Officers will look for violations by drivers and riders alike that can lead to motorcycle crashes. Police will crack down on those operating both regular vehicles and motorcycles who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, making illegal turns, or committing any other dangerous violation.
Motorcycle fatalities saw a drop of 37 percent from 2008 to 2010, but then rose 23 percent by 2012.

Discussion in 'Disneyland Trip Reports' started by PHXscuba, Oct 1, 2012.
So glad you are OK. Yes, you deserve a magical vacation!!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Thanks to all for your support. I am truly blessed in so many ways, even when things go awry.
I just saw on another thread (and confirmed by calling the hotel) that the PPH pool is closed until Mar. 15. It hasn't been posted anywhere, just saw it on the DIS. We get to use the DLH's pool instead.
I have mixed feelings about this. First of all, there's no guarantee we'll be able to swim at all. The kids (especially the girls -- DD10 is part penguin) would swim when I would be too cold; luckily they are all old enough and good enough swimmers that I can sit poolside and watch. The trek from the PPH to the DLH is longer than I'd like, although they said they have a changing area right outside the pool so we don't turn into popsicles walking back. The upside: the DLH's newly renovated pool is WAY cooler than the PPH pool. That was the one thing I was disappointed choosing the PPH over the higher cost of the DLH. So I guess I sorta got my wish, unintentionally -- the PPH price with the DLH pool.
It is a bit of a hike but there is the changing area. The pool has always been better at the DLH. I don't know about now but there used to be a place at the pool to get refreshments for both grown ups and kids. Who knows another adventure?
Glad that you weren't injured during the accident.
It makes sense to use your first day at the DLR to enjoy the hotel and DTD before you head on over to the parks. Have you ever seen RDCT fireworks?
Time will go by quickly and all of a sudden it is time for the trip. You will enjoy the DLH pool with the Monorail slide that opened last year.
We haven't seen RDCT -- I hear it's awesome! We saw Magical in summer 2010 and Halloween Screams in October 2009.
I am pretty sure we will be staying at the hotel and DTD the first night, maybe even walking over to the DLH to see what's new.
And ... just to complete my wasted week, DS7 has (drumroll please) STREP THROAT! I am trying to be patient and get a lot done at home today and tomorrow with him around. Ugh. And every time I swallow I get paranoid that I am going to get it!
Oh no! Think happy thoughts. Poor DS, I hope he is feeling okay. Strep is the worst.
Lucky we caught it early and got him to the doctor and medicated. This morning he is his usual zany stubborn self. DD10 brought home his schoolwork so we are homeschooling this morning (I am so not cut out for it).
Random Dis-ness for today:
DD10 was asking about Grizzly River Run this morning at breakfast. She likes raft rides. (Recall that DH hates them -- he called it a floating bathtub ). I told DH we were ALL going on the ride. I got the usual excuses, "I have my iPhone with me ... I don't want to walk around wet ..." Even countering all his arguments -- free lockers nearby, walking back to the hotel to change -- it will still be a challenge to get him on. I can't push too hard, because I don't ride super-spinny rides and I would hate to be forced on one. But his isn't nausea or fear, just the wet-cat feeling.
DD13's science unit is on rollercoasters and theme parks. She simultaneously loves it and says it is making the wait go even slower. She was forced to watch another Imagineer video yesterday.
Stuck home yesterday, I made envelopes to leave the tips for housekeeping. I have some experience in graphic design so these took me about 15 minutes total to make the graphic, turn it into a sticker, and put on the envelopes. It will take me longer to run to the bank for the cash to put in them!
I'm not claiming they are anything special, but if anyone wants a PDF of the graphics (8 on a page), I am happy to send it along if you PM me your e-mail address. I know some people have more computer resources than others.
We leave in 8 days. I am trying to relax and not stress about this trip. No intricate touring plans, more of a "point us in a general direction" ideas.
You will love RDCT. If you are going to see RDCT, you got to be in front of SB Castle to see the fireworks from the castle and all the special effects. Are you thinking of spending some time to wait to see RDCT? Magical and HS are very nice as well.
That sounds like a good plan when you get there on Sunday. Just 8 days to go which is always exciting.
It's been a long time since I've seen the fireworks from a prime spot in front of the castle. DH is not a fireworks/parades nut -- he sees them as times to go on rides with shorter waits. When we went with older DS the first time, DS and I watched the parade and DH went on Matterhorn 4 times in a row during it! If I put my foot down, I can get the family to stop for a snack and secure a spot 20-30 minutes ahead, but that's about their patience limit. So it will kind of depend on the crowds what kind of a spot we get. I hear back by Small World is cool and they do projections on the ride, so that may be my fallback spot.
It is 3 p.m. here. Exactly, precisely one week from now I will be picking DS7 up from his cousin's birthday party with the car packed with luggage and people and ready to hit the road!! We'll drive to my parents in Huntington Beach and arrive around the kids' bedtime -- the time switches when we cross the border but back the next morning with Daylight Savings so we won't even reset our clocks.
Hmmm ... maybe each day this week I'll do a "where will we be next week at this time" post.
I need lots of finger crossed from all of you that I make it through this busy week without any bumps like last week!
Your trip is so close!!!
In one week, we will be ... THERE!
By 3:45 or so next Sunday afternoon, we will be checked into the Paradise Pier hotel!! It's hard to believe how close this trip finally is.
I like next Sunday afternoon's activities better than today's: putting data into a volunteer project, sewing ribbons and elastic on new pointe shoes for DD13, making dinner for my in-laws. DH is asleep on the couch, which is what he'll probably want do next Sunday afternoon too!
Tomorrow (amongst other everyday stuff like laundry), I am buying our park tickets, and going through the box of breakfast food and snacks I've been stockpiling for the trip!
WOW!! You'll be smiling all week getting ready. By this time next week you'll be in the park enjoying time with your family!
Wahoo! Love the single digit countdown. Tickets in hand is a great thing! We've always bought food with us, and for some reason, always have to leave with some uneaten. Hope all are healthy by this week-end.
I've got TICKETS!!!
In our game of "where will we be, one week from today we will be eatign DS8's birthday meal at Goofy's Kitchen!!
Bonus pictures from our visit in October 2009:
I am looking forward to going back!
I know yesterday's post was uncharacteristically un-wordy for me, but I was in a hurry to get it posted in limited time.
Potentially good news: I got the police report from my car accident and it backs up what I knew: the other driver was at fault and ticketed. The tow lot wanted to get my car out, so I had it towed to a body shop pending the expected outcome of the other lady's insurance paying for it all.
Where will I be one week from today? I hope we'll be checking out the DLH pool during an afternoon break. I fianlly checked the weather report for next week and it is low 70s and little chance of rain the whole time. Perfect!
Four days from now I'll be west of Phoenix headed for CA!!
One week from today ... around 2:15 p.m. ... I am going to project that it's our Radiator Springs Racer FP return time and we are zipping around Carsland and getting our picture taken with our Photopass Plus!!
As for trip prep, I took DD13 to Walmart with me last night and bought her a couple cheap Disney shirts. She has grown out of all of the ones she wore to WDW a year and a half ago (she's a women's medium now ) I'm just glad she still wants to wear Mickey Mouse shirts!
I just canceled our backup hotel reservation at HoJos too. I don't know why I held it so long, knowing we got the great AP rate at PPH, but I guess I was just superstitious about canceling it until I had to.
I also bought food for our hotel room -- bagels and string cheese for breakfast. I still need milk, mini boxes of cereal, and fruit. I am taking my cooler on wheels to stick all the food in while we travel. I have plenty of (probably too many) snacks for the trip over and to take into the park.
I still have DS' birthday party to throw on Friday, and I MUST START PACKING!! Where's a magician or a fairy godmother when you need them?
I cannot believe how close your trip is.
Yay!! Its almost time!
We're on the road right now!! I hope our paths cross!
(Eek! that's a lot of exclamation points. Can you tell I'm excited?)
Woo Hoo!! Almost time for your trip!! Take advantage of the weekdays.....come Friday, the crowds really increase!!!

Posted: 10/27/14 22:58
by Dave Mindeman
The Star Tribune has endorsed Stewart Mills III for the 8th District.
That is absolutely incredible! and ridiculous!
And their reasoning is even more stunning. Listen to this;
Having begun his Fleet Farm career scrubbing toilets and emptying trash, Mills today is vice president in charge of the chain's health care plan, covering 6,000 employees and their dependents. He has developed a hands-on understanding of the intricacies of the health care marketplace, coming to see wellness and prevention as keys to controlling costs.
Mills says his objections to the Affordable Care Act are central to inspiring his run for Congress. His candidacy follows what he calls the "Hunting Camp Rule": If you complain about something, you get the job of fixing it. His condemnation of the ACA is too sweeping, given that he backs the law's key goals. But the market-based approaches he prefers -- including more price transparency and tort reform -- could contribute to needed improvements in the law.
Stewart Mills III understands the "intricacies" of health care? Really? That is one of the main reasons you decided to recommend Mills for Congress?
I can't begin to say how completely wrong that scenario is.
I have worked in health care for 40 years. I have dealt with and studied the ACA ever since it was passed in 2009. I have watched its development; I have done comparisons; I have examined its flaws.
A person who operates health care for one company, his own company, does not develop expertise in health care. THEY DO NOT.
The Star Tribune has been rolling out a lot of endorsements. I even endured the endorsement of John Kline by their editorial board. I half way expected that one - because they tend to stick with incumbants and they have a history with Kline.
But Mills?
Mills has worked with group insurance at Mills Fleet Farm. He deals in employer based health care. Obamacare doesn't change that - it left that aspect alone (unfortunately, as far as I am concerned, but employer benefit health care did not change). Mills' job in health care was to shop carriers for the best group rate deal and then implement it.
How does that make him an expert in health care? Especially Obamacare?
Mills does not have a clue as to how to deal with the individual market place. It is a completely different animal - and it is why we had high rates of uninsured Americans in the first place. Mills went by the group rules set up by the carrier he chose. He had a large enough group that they could sometimes override some of the insurance rules, provided the company was willing to pay the override cost.
But people outside of a group rate protection is something Mills has no idea how to approach. He pretends that his company group health experience is all he needs. That assumption is, itself, dangerous and naive.
The Duluth Tribune was fooled by this facade as well....
"I am for health care reform ... that actually brings down costs and increases access, and I'm also for the goals of the Affordable Care Act, which is making sure that people don't have to worry about pre-existing conditions, lifetime maximums, or, if they have a catastrophic health condition, that they don't have to worry about where the care is coming from," Mills said in a candidate forum this week in Duluth sponsored by the News Tribune and the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce.
Anybody can say that they want to make sure they take care of people with pre-existing conditions, care about lifetime maximums, and catastrophic care. You can say that and it will sound compassionate.
The problem is how to incorporate it into a health care system with adequate cost containment. Has anyone asked Mills how he would pay for his assumptions? Yes, he probably can take care of a few individual health care problems within the confines of a employer group policy with 6,000 individuals to spread out the cost. But an individual in an exchange? How does he handle that.
I guarantee you, he does not know. HE DOES NOT KNOW.
If the Star Tribune couldn't dig down deep enough to pull back the layers of rhetoric that hide that simple fact, then they shouldn't be endorsing anyone.

On the State of Egypt: What Made the Revolution Inevitable (Paperback)
"Alaa Al Aswany is among the best writers in the Middle East today, a suitable heir to the mantle worn by Naguib Mahfouz, his great predecessor." -Jay Parini, "The Guardian" (UK)
From one of Egypt's most acclaimed novelists, here is a vivid chronicle of Egyptian society, with penetrating analysis of all the most urgent issues--economic stagnation, police brutality, poverty, the harassment of women and of the Christian minority, to name a few--that led to the stunning overthrow of the Mubarak government. Al-Aswany addresses himself to all the questions being asked within Egypt and beyond: who will be the next president, and how will he be chosen in a land where heretofore only simpletons, opportunists and stooges involved themselves with elections? What role will the Muslim Brotherhood play? How can democratic reforms be effected among a people used to such contradictions as the religiously observant policeman who commits torture? In a candid and controversial assessment of both the potential and limitations that will determine his country's future, Al-Aswany reveals why the revolt that surprised the world was destined to happen.
" The] star of a new generation of Egyptian novelists." -"The Independent" (UK)
About the Author
Alaa Al Aswany is the internationally bestselling author of The Yacoubian Building and Chicago. A journalist who writes a controversial opposition column, Al Aswany makes his living as a dentist in Cairo.
Alaa Al Aswany was born in 1957. A dentist, whose first office was in the Yacoubian Building, Al Aswany has written prolifically for Egyptian newspapers across the political spectrum on literature, politics, and social issues.

Bearing Witness: Violence and Collective Responsibility
Haworth Maltreatment and Trauma Press, 1998 - Psychology - 334 pages
Bearing Witness: Violence and Collective Responsibility offers a unique layperson's introduction to the scope and causes of violence and trauma theory and suggests ways we can all work to attack these causes. Upon completing this work, you will have a better understanding of the social causes of the violence epidemic and concrete suggestions for its long-term control.Bearing Witness addresses the cycle of violence by discussing some of the biological, psychological, social, and moral issues that go into determining whether a person will end up as a victim, perpetrator, or bystander to violent events and what happens to us when we are in one or all three of these roles. The authors look at a number of intersecting factors that play interdependent roles in creating a culture that promotes, supports, and even encourages violence. Specifically, you'll gain invaluable insight into:
