"We found that the level of expression of four of these miRNAS correlated with the task the bee was performing. Four of them were expressed at higher levels in foragers than in nurses. Because miRNAs typically suppress gene expression, this means genes actively transcribed in nurses were silenced in foragers," Ben-Shahar says.
"There is clearly a task-related difference, but we don't yet know what the gene targets of the miRNAs are," he says.
An ancient regulatory system
Could miRNAs be playing a much broader role in the behavior of bees, not just regulating the tasks workers performed but also their social behavior more generally?
Honeybees are eusocial insects, meaning that a colony behaves more like a superorganism than a gathering of individuals. The scientists knew that the genomes of several other eusocial insects had recently been sequenced.
Did the eusocial insects share miRNAs, they wondered?
The grand survey of miRNAs had identified 20 miRNAs that seemed to be honeybee-specific. To test their idea, they looked for these miRNAs in the genomes of four other eusocial insects within the hymenoptera (an order of insects that consists of ants, bees and wasps) and in that of a solitary wasp.
A total of 19 out of the 20 miRNAs that had initially appeared to be honeybee-specific were also identified in the genomes of the other eusocial insects. Moreover, five found in all the eusocial hymenoptera were found in no other species. And none of the 20 miRNAS found in the eusocial insects were found in the genome of the solitary wasp.
Once a miRNA assumes a functional role it is rarely lost from an animal's genome, Ben-Shahar says, because it typically regulates multiple genes and is too thoroughly enmeshed in the cell's regulation to be easily extracted. This makes miRNAs a valuable marker for evolutionary re

OverviewClassic climb in The Amphitheater. It is the prominent ridge forming the north (to your right as you descend the approach gully) edge of The Amphitheater. Fun, easy, well protected, exposed climbing. Good beta in Lambert and Shull's NC guidebooks. Nice way to end a day and avoid the nasty walk off from the Mummy/Daddy. Climb those first, rap back into the amphitheater and exit via The Prow
Getting ThereApproach
-Park in the Table Rock parking lot. Take the trail on the south end of the lot, by the restrooms, and follow it a while. Not sure on distance, but you will pass through a wonderfully exposed section on a ridge called the Chimneys, guides will often be top-roping here.
-After passing the Chimneys and back into the woods watch for 3 faint trails to your right. The Amphitheater trail is the third and most distinct trail. It may or may not have a cairn marking it. If you start descending steeply you passed the trail and double back.
-This trail will descend sharply down of the top of a steep gully. Follow the climbers trail descending the right edge of the gully. It is often slippery and wet, this might be the crux of the route.
-Locate the Open Book (.11). It is a massive obvious overhanging dihedral to your right.
-The Prow is the first main corner past the open book. Look for a slabby section leading to a small roof with the tree on the left hand corner of the roof. This on P1
-Talus hop and scramble cross the boulders in the gully until you reach a flat spot at the base of the prow. It gets tons of traffic and is quite obvious
Route DescriptionP1-Climb up to a small roof, dodge to the left and wander up to a big ledge ~50m
P2- Climb the huge, easy slab to a ledge under a huge roof with large left facing dihedral ~50m
P3- The Money Pitch. You want to lead this one. Head out the dihedral staying low and to the left to use the massive jugs, move left onto the face, and romp up the massively juggy and wildly exposed finish. Completely amazing. ~30m
P4- Traverse across vegetated rock set, climb up the vegatated rock to an obvious ledge. Set up belay, escape to summit via easy chimney
Follow the cliff edge around the rim of the amphitheater to the top of the approach gully

This course introduces basic physics simulation principles in Autodesk 3ds Max using MassFX, a system that makes it cost effective to animate rigid body objects, cloth, and particle systems. Author Brian Bradley introduces basic concepts such as gravity, drag, volume, and density, and how Newton's Laws of Motion can help you understand the interaction of objects with these unseen forces. Using the purpose built scene, Brian walks through the tools and features of the MassFX (PhysX) system, applying the principles discussed as he goes. Along the way, discover how to combine rigid bodies and constraints, mCloth fabrics, and mParticles geometry to create fairground-style effects.
With our mParticle system in place, omitting and colliding nicely with our scene geometry, we can focus now on creating the gloopy fluid effect that really is the point and purpose of our simulation. To make a gloopy substance, we will of course need to glue our particles together. This step, as you could probably guess, will be a big contributing factor to the overall look of our final effect. Let's grab a MassFX glue operator and drag it into our flow, setting it in between our MassFX Collision and World operators.
We can then select it and in the Parameters area, set its Binding Type to Distance and the Timing to Continuous. So we have set Continuous in this instance so that as particles move and collide in the simulation they are able to break existing bonds, but then re-grouped to the same or other particles in the simulation. This functionality will add quite a bit to the stodgy look and slow gloopy motion that we want from our particles. We will want to set a fairly small bind distance for our glue here; 200 mm should do nicely.
Again this will allow the particles to break apart, but it also means that they don't have to be right on top of one another before they are able to reglue. We can also enable Allow Binding Penetration and also up the max amount of binds per particle value to 8. To really make this effect work, we will for sure need to turn on Breakability. But this time rather then using Breakable By Force, we need to scroll down and instead use this Breakable By Overstretch option.
In here, we also want to set the relative percentage value to 150. In fact, if we just back up a little, we also want to set the maximum distance limit to a relative percentage value of 150 also. Now, if we play the simulation, you can see our particles pool in a manner that does feel somewhat like a thick running substance, even sliding over the edge of the stand as it is reached. However, if we feel that they are not flowing quite as freely across the surface as we might like, we could lower our friction values for both the particles and the collision mesh.
To do this, let's first of all select the MassFX Shape operator in our flow and in the Bounce And Friction controls we can set both Static and Dynamic options to a value of 0.2. Then of course we can select our stand geometry and set its friction values to 0.2 also. We do still need to finalize the look of our gloop effect, so let's come into the Create tab on our Command panel and in the Geometry section, access to dropdown list and choose Compound Objects.
From here, we can choose the BlobMesh option, enable AutoGrid, and then just left-click once in the viewport to create a BlobMesh. Then we can right-click and exit creation mode. Keeping the BlobMesh selected, we can access its parameters in the Command panel and come down to the Blob Object section. Here we can click the Add button. In the Add Blob dialog that appears, we can type PF into the find area and then of course select the particle flow source that appears in our list.
Clicking the Add Blobs button will then turn our particles into a blog mesh. If we just run the simulation now, we can see that this is the case--kind of. Obviously we want to try and make things look a little more fluid-like in the simulation here before we can say we are happy. So still a now a BlobMesh parameters, let's set the size to 304 mm, the tension value we can set to 0.6, and the Render or Viewport Coarseness we can set to 15.
The final step here is to put a check in the Relative Coarseness checkbox. Now as you can see we are definitely getting an effect that is much more convincing. To add a finishing touch, let's come into the Modifier List and add a Relax modifier onto our BlobMesh. We can leave the Relax value at 0.5, but let's apply Iterations of 4. As you can see in the viewport this just smoothes our surface out that little bit more. If we now run the simulation one last time, you can see that things are looking pretty nice.
Our gloopy fluid even slides over the edge of the stand once it is reached. Whilst mParticles aren't going to convince anyone that they are a serious fluid simulator capable of producing realistic oceans or floating valleys, they can nevertheless produce some very nice fluid-type simulation effects that may be just what the doctor ordered.

At the Narita airport in Japan, the welcome signs were everywhere, when 16 young musicians landed in mid-October, on a mission to bring a bit of New Orleans to the land of the rising sun.
Eight Tipitina's Foundation interns, led by musician Donald Harrison and 8 members of the O. Perry Walker Chosen Ones marching band, led by Wilbert Rawlins, were there on a cultural exchange trip.
Just getting on the bus to Tokyo it was clear this trip would be about music New Orleans music. Sounds of the Crescent City, and 'When The Saints Go Marching In,' were in the air.
These young New Orleanians were about to see parts of Japan that had a lot in common with New Orleans: cities that lived through a disaster and where music made a difference.
When the tsunami hit Ishinomaki, Japan in March 2011, more than 3,000 people lost their lives.A year and a half later, more than 500 residents are still unaccounted for.So when the young New Orleans musicians hit the stage at a special festival designed to give people here a bit of fun from the long recovery process, they were an instant hit.
Then Yoshio Toyama, who helped arrange this trip, got on stage with the Tipitina's interns.The man called the Satchmo of Tokyosang a Louis Armstrong classic, 'What a Wonderful World,' in English and because music is the universal language, there was no need for translation.
Then, in a perfect finale, the O. Perry Walker Chosen Ones marching band took the stage, New Orleans style.They brought the house down and the spirits up for the Japanese people who have suffered so much.They were true ambassadors for New Orleans and having been through Hurricane Katrina, they understood how much their music meant on this day.

Stephen H. Schanuel (1934—2014) was an American mathematician working in the fields of abstract algebra and category theory, number theory, and measure theory.
While he was a graduate student at University of Chicago, he discovered Schanuel's lemma, an essential lemma in homological algebra. Schanuel received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Columbia University in 1963, under the supervision of Serge Lang.
Shortly thereafter he stated a conjecture in the field of transcendence theory which remains an important open problem to this day. Schanuel was a professor emeritus of mathematics at University at Buffalo.

With contribution from Mysore Minerals Limited, two more schools come under Akshaya Patra, ISKCON's mid-day meal programme With donation from Mysore Minerals, two more schools come under Akshaya Patra With its contribution, two more schools come under Akshaya Patra
Bangalore: The State-owned Mysore Minerals Ltd is out to show that corporate social responsibility is very much on the agenda of public sector undertakings too.
Mysore Minerals Managing Director Jija Madhavan Harisingh, an IPS officer, announced here on Tuesday a substantial donation towards Akshaya Patra, the mid-day meal programme of the ISKCON, which now feeds more than 50,000 children in government and municipal schools in and around Bangalore alone. President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam is one among the many dignitaries who have shared a meal with some of the children.
The contribution from Mysore Minerals will help two schools in the city, Government Higher Primary School near the traffic police station in Audugodi and the Corporation Boys High School in Austin Town. In all, more than a thousand children will benefit. The tie-up with Akshaya Patra will be extended to several schools in Bellary district too where the mining industry is concentrated, Ms. Harisingh said.
Last year, Mysore Minerals launched ROQWARE: Recycling of Quarry Waste, Women's Awareness and Rural Employment. Discarded stone from the quarries will be provided free of cost to artisans to be converted into objects of art such as stone statues, artefacts, curios and handicraft items which have a good market in urban centres.
The PSU selected groups of women working in quarries to be trained in the crafts which will yield them a steady income. More than 1,000 women have already been trained in Chamrajanagar, Kanakapura, Hassan and Ilkal where there is plenty of quarry waste. The programmes will be extended to more areas this year. Ms. Harisingh also arranged camps where sculpture was taught to groups of rural women. The first camp was held at Cubbon Park. The Karnataka Government undertaking has 45 mining leases covering 5,440 hectares and 27 quarry leases covering 781.38 ha for various minerals and granites. The company is also one of the largest producers in the region of chromite, magnesite, limestone, dolomite, iron ore, clay and granite.

My little girl is married now but she can't bear children. All due to the gas she inhaled as a child, says a victim's mother
December 2-3 1984, Union Carbide India Limited, Bhopal. Barely a toddler in my mother's arms, the tragedy and enormity of that night was much beyond my years. Twenty-five years later, on a recent visit to the Madhya Pradesh capital, I decided to talk to people who were actually there that fateful day.
The first person I spoke to was a very old woman named Mohini. What she narrated went somewhat like this. "Marriage season was on. So when the initial commotion started I thought maybe it was some function somewhere. …Then someone shouted that gas is leaking and outside there was a mad rush of people trying to outrun the lethal gas. On the roads people were falling down and dying and getting trampled upon by the ones following behind. I too ran with my family.
"Amid the turmoil my youngest child, my two-year-old daughter got lost. I asked my husband to take our other four kids to safety and ran back to get my missing child. Luckily, I found her and somehow managed a safe return." That little girl is married now but she cannot bear children. All due to the gas she inhaled as a child.
While we were at it, the person serving us tea looked up. There was pain on his face while he narrated his personal tragedy. His father inhaled so much methyl isocyanate (MIC) that he died a few days later. His death was not recognised as death due to poisoning and his son was denied the compensation due to the next of kin of victims. Moreover, his wife became mentally deranged. She sometimes runs naked out of the bathroom shouting, "run …run …the gas is leaking." He has to wrap her up and comfort her in times like these. This is her condition, even 25 years after the incident.
The Rs.25,000 he got for her is of little comfort.
From the government there is nothing in store for Mohini's little girl, who can never be a mother in her life, not that her pain and sorrow can be quantified in monetary terms.
These are just a few people but there are many others like them who are suffering even today just because some company was so busy making profits that it looked upon the most necessary safety measures as a waste of resources. But this was what a foreign company did to them.
What about their own so-called government? Till date, no proper survey method has been adopted to identify the victims or other affected persons. Naturally, the compensation process is skewed, leaving out many deserving candidates like the aforementioned ones.
Bringing the guilty to book is justifiable and should be done but in the process let us not forget our duty towards our own people. Adequate compensation to deserving candidates is just one of those little things which we can actually do, while they deal with their own real life nightmares of that night.

Re: Intermediate sailing class or dinghy class?
The last thing you want to do now is turn the Mrs. off to sailing and a dinghy just might do that. We bought a large trailer sailer straight out and started sailing. The boat is a little stiff (I think) so with a little practice I can reduce the leanin' and eliminate the screamin'. If I may be so bold, pick up a copy of The Complete Trailer Sailor by Brian Gilbert. Lots of great info but especially a section in the back with specs, sketches, pros and cons of 50 or so small to large trailer sailers. It can help you pick out what you like. Two things I'd keep an eye on: head room and head room. One for standing, one for sitting. An enclosed head is always a hit for the ladies. As far as experience goes, you have MUCH more that I had when I motored past the jetty into the Atlantic and hoisted my jib. It was the very first time on a sailboat. I had lots of studying and a USCGA certificate; I wasn't perfect moron. That's takes practice so I had to work way up to it. Check my other posts for a complete listing of unrehearsed foibles. But, here we are, me and my lovely bride, 1200 nm later and still sailing strong. Keep at it. And remember: Reef early, preferably at the dock.

Percent of Federal, State, and Private Land
October 30, 2002, 08:20:11 pm »
Okay, I should've started a new thread instead of putting the following table in the compendium of More Criteria thread where I continue to post a wide variety of comparitive criteria.
In the state data page we find this explanation for including fed land ownership.
Another aspect of viability that is occasionally mentioned is federal land ownership. More federal land ownership might mean an excuse for federal meddling in the state, but it could also mean a legitimate grievance for the state's citizens. So it's not clear whether more federal land ownership is worse, better, or irrelevant.
Yet, in spite of that statement, So much worry is still spent in many threads on how much of a state is owned by the feds. Yes, the feds can meddle, but ONLY to the extent of their land ownership. They can not meddle in private land, and the Free State would have grounds to force the issue all the way to the US Supreme Court when they do. Sure they could meddle in private affairs to the degree those affairs affect the federal holdings. But how is that different than if Weyerhauser or Great Northern or Harry Potter owned that land? Would not libertarians hold that those private interests would have a say about what neighboring land owners do that affect their private property?
So what is the issue with the federal lands? That they could lock the locals out of those lands? How is that different than if those lands were not there in the first place -- e.g. subtracted from the total? And remember that much of those lands are watershed and wildlife habitat and neither the water nor the wildlife stay behind those property lines. Even if locked up behind a line of green uniforms, those lands are still a net benefit.
My premise is that the amount or percentage of federal land does not hurt the Free State! It is the amount of land left in private ownership which is the most important criteria!
How is discounting a state because a large resource of forest, mountains, minerals, grassland, lakes, etc. is in federal ownership any different than discounting it for not having those resources in the first place? What if a smaller state has more square miles of
forest and mountains than a much larger state?
What is the area the Free State can actually use for private advantage? If you include
of the federally owned land then you are making a case for it being an advantage - mining, forests, water, recreation, grazing, etc. That the Free State would have to wrestle with the feds over access to that land must be compared to not having it at all -- if you just wrote off any access to it. So, regardless of the fed factor, such land is a net gain.
During the first decade or so of the Free State the amount of State-owned land may be a criteria - then again it may not for the same reasons above. It will take a long time for the State to divest itself of its holdings - if it does so at all given the public demand for parks, state game lands, etc.
As to the issue of reclaiming federal land -- it ain't gonna happen folks -- at least not in your lifetime even if you are just graduating high school. So that is a dead issue not deserving of its separate thread. The US Gov't will be lord over those federal lands for decades to come. Washington will have to secede from the rest of the US -- which is a possibility if worse comes to worst. The fed influence may contract to a hundred mile deep swath from NYC to D.C. -- the same area it started with 220 years ago. But back to the topic of why the federal land percentage does not matter to the success of the Free State.
Since private land is what the Free Staters will have to work with, let's look at just how much of it is in each candidate state.
Note how little is left in Alaska when federal and state owned land is substracted from the total (and remember that in Alaska the state government does not have to listen to the citizens it pays off with an annual stipend - oil buys votes - especially those of more dependent sheople in a large metro area like Anchorage). Since the fed and state land may be out of reach, let's look at the amount of private land (or at least the area not owned by fed or state government since cities and other local governments own some too).
Maine has more private land than Alaska!

I think % of federal land might actually be a slight benefit to us. I've reached this conclusion after talking to Idahoans who are interested in our Project because of the possibility of reclaiming federal lands. Btw, I actually do think reclamation is a possibility 20+ years down the road, in the same way that opting out of FICA tax is a possibility. It will just require some negotiation. If we can get the lands handed over to Indian tribes, that would do the trick. Once it's in the market, it's in the market. (My Yogi-ism of the day.)

The one disadvantage of government owned land is that the environenmentalist movement would probably file law suits in federal court to stop any privitisation of public lands. If it isn't owned by the gov't it can be bought & sold on the open market. Isn't that what we want ?? Why pick a location where we have another battle to fight?

Even though I don't care about the avalability of land and wouldn't mind moving to Monoco if it we could make it free, I still must point out that in much of this Federal land the
homesteading act
still applies!!! That's right so go and build a shack on the land and live there for 5 years and it's yours!

That is a very good point about the homestead act. But, wasn't there a big flap a few years ago abt the feds evicting people after they had filed but before they had completed their 5 years of residence?

Hello, all...
While I realize that Alaska is pretty low on most peoples' list, it seems to me that such a wealth of natural resources should not be overlooked - - despite the climate (and I am writing this from SoCal). To that end I have a question about the following...
On the state reports page, under Alaska, Joseph Littlejohn writes: "Their main issue is self determination. A vote was held in 1958 giving Alaska the right to either become a state, remain a territory, or become a commonwealth. The AIP believes that United Nations resolutions on the right to self-determination meant that they should have been given the right to choose independence. Therefore, they favor a new referendum including independence as an option."
So what happens if FSPers move to Alaska, push the vote in the UN, and independence passes? Could the newly-founded country of Alaska just nationalize all the assets in the state? This would not be warmly welcomed in D.C., but are they likely to invade? Additionally, federalizing the land would allow the citizens of Alaska to decide on how the resources could be developed, etc., not to mention probably providing a fair number of jobs as these resources are mined, drilled, etc.
I am new to all this (this is only my second post ever) but if there is that much of a spirit of independence in such a sparsely populated state, which just happens to have a wealth of natural resources, doesn't it merit a closer look?
Just a thought...
I smell foul play, Sherman!

Probably if Alaska gained independence, it would have to take on its share of the U.S. debt and compensate the federal government for some of the lands it takes. I firmly do not believe that the federal government would invade a state that secedes after a fair and free vote of the majority. Others disagree with me here, but regardless, I think Alaska deserves a close look.

Tribes often lease out their lands; I'm not sure whether they're able to sell, but I think they'd reform their internal rules to allow sale if they got a windfall of land that they couldn't use.

I'm just not sure how often they do that - my suspicion is that it is not very. Leases are less than optimal for long term planning (at least many of my clients have found this).

The county where Nye Nevada is came under control of one family. This in itself can be problematic.
Here is a word document that was put together by these persons.
I have no in depth knowledge of the issues discussed in this document, so don't bother asking me questions. Read it, and evaluate on its own merits. For your interest.

Wow. Cal.
That document is very interesting, and could have broad implications for every state and impact FSP activities in any state it eventually chooses.
I recommend once a state is chosen, the lawyers in the group (Tim Condon are you reading this?) immediately research this further with respect to that state.
I am not a constitutional scholar, but my initial reading and review of the sources of the document makes me very optimistic. I wonder what has occurred since the submission of the document - what actions have since been taken/challenged?
Now this could be fun.

As to the issue of reclaiming federal land -- it ain't gonna happen folks -- at least not in your lifetime even if you are just graduating high school. So that is a dead issue not deserving of its separate thread.
Like Jason I think federal land might be a positive. If nothing else it provides a significant irritant to citizens of a state when
land is being run by an outside entity, along with all manner of nutty environmentalist mandates, etc. We can tap into that kind of sentiment. Look at this, it is dynamite:
I also agree it is not impossible to get some or all federal land returned. At the very least it is a huge embarrassment to the feds to have a state pressing them on their unconstitutional possession of this land. It might be a bargaining chip if nothing else.
I agree the remaining private/state land is the more important criterion.
Elizabeth, that map is amazing. While federal land is a useful irritant, there can always be too much of a good thing! I wish Wyoming had a little less of it. Actually the map might be a little misleading because I think it is more of a patchwork. According to Joe's numbers 44% is in federal and state hands, and the map makes it look like a lot more than 44%.
Call, I didn't catch how to get to that doc file. Is it something you could just post in this thread? Or is it too long?
I wonder if this is one of the things state governments let slide (letting the feds keep something they are not entitled to), because they didn't want to lose the various federal subsidies and block grants? Since we will be dumping them of our own accord, we won't be deterred that way. We really ought to push getting these lands back from the feds. The folks in these western states, anyway, will love us for it!
The more I think of this, the more tapping into this Sagebrush Rebellion sentiment looks like a large positive for us.

About Patong Beach
Patong Beach, one of the most famous places in Phuket in the south part of Thailand, is well known for its fun during the day and party at night. Patong Beach is easily reachable from different parts of southeast Asia by flight via Phuket town –- there are frequent flights, including low-cost companies. If you are traveling from Bangkok, you can take a bus or train to the main station in Phuket, and then catch a tuk-tuk to your final destination (this trip takes around twelve hours, but most of them are night buses/trains, and you can easily buy the tickets in every tour agency in Bangkok).
Patong Beach is one of the best and most famous ones in Phuket, with three kilometers of sandy beaches and clear waters -- in high season, expect a lot of tourists, with chairs, towels, and umbrellas everywhere. On Patong Beach you can relax in the sun; swim in the clear waters; ride in the banana boats; have a Thai massage on the beach; and do parasailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling.
One of its biggest attractions is a night-time meal in a nice Thai restaurant, followed by a visit to Bangla Road -- it's the place to be if you like party environment! All of the bars and discos are located here.
There are a lot of hostels in Patong Beach, and they are nice places to get to know more backpackers and share some stories. Patong Beach's hostels are simple, clean, and with great staff that will help you with every question you may have.

I am about to recommend a web host to my son, and had decided between Heart Internet or Storm Internet. Having decided on Heart, has any one of the forum members have any opinions, either way, about my choice.

I've got three websites with Heart and have had no problems at all. The control panel is very easy to use. I can't comment on their customer support as I've never had to use it (which I suppose is a recommendation on its own)!

Can't argue with that.. Seems that Heart Internet it is.

Also been with Heart for over 2 years and look after about 20 domains for friends and clients with about 10 websites on the go. Excellent service from sales and tech support. There are cheaper options but in my opinion the amount saved isn`t worth the aggro. I`ve rescued at least 3 clients from cheaper alternatives that simply didn`t come up to scratch.

Day 6
We started out our day bright and early with breakfast at Boma, which we paid for out of pocket because we already had accounted for all of our table service credits.
A view of the food pods and the open kitchen beyond.
Breakfast was just as delicious as dinner, although slightly less adventurous. The best part were the pastries and the pap (if you like grits, don't miss it!).
We were fairly worn out from the Halloween party the night before so we actually headed back to the room and crashed out for about another hour before getting ready and heading to Downtown Disney.
A cute display outside the Christmas store.
More elephant photos outside the Rainforest Cafe.
I found SO many awesome things I wanted to buy in Art of Disney, alas, I don't have the kind of money it takes to purchase these items and these pictures are all I have.
After a good amount of shopping we decided to split lasagne at Wolfgang Puck Express. The food was good and more than enough to split but I don't think the manager was too happy with us for doing that.
We continued to shop and sightsee and just generally take it easy. I was actually somewhat underwhelmed with Downtown Disney and am a bit sad that we wasted one of our parkhopper days doing this, but we probably needed a less hectic day after going non-stop for about six days straight.
Spitting Stitch at World of Disney.
Geoff and the skelleton pirate manning, uh, the ship?
After DTD we headed to the Contemporary because we planned to use two table service meals for a special meal at the California Grill. This sculpture is behind the Contemporary Resort, with a convienent stand so that you can take timed pictures. I wish they had those in more places.
Geoff and Mickey.
There were birds flying all over the place at the resort, we never figured out what type of birds they were.
Of course, these are ducks, who assumed that we were coming to feed them. They were not too happy when they figured out that we had nothing for them.
This little guy was completely fearless and walked right up to me.
We had a fair amount of time to kill before our 8pm reservations so we sat on some lounge chairs by the pool and looked out at the lagoon. It was a beautiful day and laying there was perhaps the most relaxing portion of our whole trip.
The clouds were huge and puffy and the sunlight was illuminating them beautifully. At one point I saw a cloud that looked like a pair of mouse ears and I jumped up to take a picture but the wind was blowing the clouds so quickly that you can just barely see it in this picture.
When it was time to check in for our ressies we still had a few minutes before our table was ready so we sat at the bar and got some drinks. Once again I got some stares for taking pictures of the drinks, but Geoff explained it by saying "We don't have children, so we take pictures of our alcohol." That endeared us to the couple next to us who were on their honeymoon from New Jersey and we had a nice chat with them before it was time to be seated.
We were actually seated near a window looking directly down into the Magic Kingdom, you could see the AstroOrbiter spinning and the colors of the castle changing. It was amazing and the perfect spot for watching the fireworks. We didn't even have to leave our table to go out to the observation deck, which was good because we were in the middle of dinner at that point.
We started with sushi as our appetizers. Geoff got the deluxe sushi combination and I got the tuna three-ways. Everything was delicious and the portions were so huge that we had a hard time finishing our entrees.
Since we are big seafood fans we went with fish for main courses as well. Geoff got the halibut with the fennel and peppers on the side and I got the salmon.
For dessert we both got the chocolate souffle cake, Geoff got his the way it was meant to be served with the raspberry sauce and ice cream. I don't like raspberries so I was difficult and asked for mine with vanilla ice cream.
Dinner there was very good and we enjoyed the fireworks show from that vantage point, however I think that I would not use two table service credits there. Next time, I would go but pay out of pocket and just get sushi and dessert because otherwise it is just painfully too much food. Plus we really love sushi and were completely satisfied after the appetizers, the main courses were just overkill.
I would also make sure I went there on a night when the Magic Kingdom is open late because trying to get back to our resort took forever because we couldn't take the monorail back to a park to pick up a resort bus. Instead we had to bus to Downtown Disney and then catch a bus to our resort. We were quite exhausted by the time we got back to the hotel.
A few more details from the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Even the mail slot is adorably themed.
The firepit near the main savanna that has rocking chairs around it where you can sit, relax and tell folk tales.
A couple different towel creations that Mousekeeping left us.
Next: Day 7 - The finale - More Animal Kingdom, Les Chefs de France, goodbye to WDW and a couple of shots from our weekend in Indiana.

What a wonderful trip report You make me want to go back sooooooooo bad! And what an awesome VIP experience you go!!
Delta Mu Chi Alpha ΔΜΧΑ
Thanks for the great comments on value of California Grill!
I should have said this sooner but - Welcome IloveWDW! So glad that you decided to join. Thank you for the compliment.Hi~
i just wanted to say how much i LOVE reading your report of your WDW experience. Yesterday i was looking up pumpkin carving ideas, and came across Micechat. I loved reading it so much i joined the group today! Keep up the good work, i am going to be soo sad when you write your last day Hope to get a lot of ideas, and tricks from everyone! jen
What a great trip report.
lisaboo.. so you haven't drawn any conclusions yet.. since being a NorCal'er.. I assume you've been to DLR a few times. Was WDW worth it? Did you enjoy the resort experience? Seems like you did due to all the eating adventures
I know we board the resort monorail all the time after park closing, but that's always from MK. Can't say we jumped on at a resort in awhile.
Awesome report!!
Makes me want to plan another trip ASAP!
Oh, and I have a few conclusions about WDW vs. DL, I will talk about them a bit more after my final report.
Thanks mikelan6 for solving the bird mystery. We weren't sure if they were there all the time or just on vacation themselves.
Day 7
We woke up semi-early on our last day at the parks and headed back to our favorite park, Disney's Animal Kingdom and headed straight for Kilamanjaro Safaris. We actually rode it twice at different points in the day hoping to see more or different animals. It was kind of funny because even though our rides were probably five hours apart a lot of the same animals were in the approximately same spots as they were the first time through.
Crocodiles, hippos, lions (sleeping, look closely), flamingos, giraffes, a thousand-year-old baobob tree, the savanna and, of course, elephants.
We then went through another of the animal trails which included some indoor animal sections including a naked mole rat burrow and the gorilla habitat, which was beautiful, but all the gorillas were hiding from us, so the only picture I got was of this gazelle streched up trying to eat leaves.
We then took the train over to Rafiki's Planet Watch. Make sure not to miss the Sounds of the Rainforest, it was amazing. We even got to meet the Rafiki him/herself. (I can never figure out if Rafiki is male or female, in the videos there at Conservation Station he sounds male but in the Broadway production of The Lion King Rafiki is portrayed by a woman. So maybe Rafiki is transgender? Who knows!)
Lunch at the Tusker House was nice since the seating area is large and air conditioned. I had the salmon platter and Geoff had the fried chicken sandwich and they had the same good chocolate cake Flame Tree has. All of the food was quite good.
There's even an elephant on the sign!
The Tree of Life was really amazing, I loved trying to spot all the different animals and I thought it was neat that It's Tough to Be A Bug's theatre is down in the roots of the tree.
We even caught DeVine as she stilted by.
We, of course, made to sure to ride Everest again. Here is one of the many beautifully themed shrines to the Yeti.
Below are some of the pictures I took on our first day at AK but I did not have room to post on that report. We spent only a little time in Dinoland since there were only two rides we were interested in. We really liked Dinosaur even if it is just the same ride as IJA. I did not, however, enjoy Primevil Whirl as I found it to be downright painful. All you heard, instead of screams of joy, was "Ow! Pain! Make it stop!" (Pretty much what I thought about the MK Space Mountain as well, sadly.)
Dino Sue is the most complete T-Rex skelleton and AK has her!
Festival of the Lion King was super-fabulous. I really enjoyed this show. The performers (both the acrobats and singers) were outstanding, the music was great and more gospel flavored than the original soundtrack or the Broadway production and the costumes and sets were imaginative and fun. Here were the four "floats" with your section's animal at the front (lion, warthog, giraffe or elephant). We were the giraffe section...I was *so* close to being in the elephant section!! *pout*
They even got some of the kids into the act.
There was fire.
It was a true spectacle.
A close-up on Pumbaa.
One last elephant shot on the way out.
The Jammin' in the Jungle Parade was also a lot of fun and I loved how they represented the animals.
Many families were in floats like this one as part of the Year of a Million Dreams.
We closed AK down again and headed over to Epcot for our final dinner at Les Chefs de France.
Geoff was kind of wary about this meal because he didn't enjoy a french restaurant that we went to in Napa for our anniversary, but I assured him that this would be very americanized french food and I was right. The most "scary" french thing on the menu was my escargot. It was very good however, if you like escargot, actually the second best I have ever eaten.
Geoff went for a safer lobster bisque as his starter. It was very rich and creamy.
For an entree Geoff had the lamb shank, of which he only ate the meat and our dear waiter was quite distressed at the idea that Geoff didn't enjoy his meal. Actually Geoff loved the meat, he just doesn't eat veggies much. I tried his accompaniments and thought they were nice.
I had the pork chop and cleaned my plate. It was quite good.
For dessert Geoff had his favorite, creme brulee and I had the profiteroles, which were to die for! They are like a cream puff but with vanilla ice cream instead of cream and topped with a lucious chocolate sauce. It typically comes with candied fruit as well but I asked for that to be left off.
I really enjoyed our final meal here and so did Geoff. We had a wonderful table right next to the window looking out at World Showcase and our waiter was a delight. The food was very good, if not all that adventurous and it was a beautiful atmophere. The lighting, mood and everything about it felt like it was right out of a warm Paris bistro. Our waiter even offered to take our final picture of our DisneyWorld trip.
I was very sad to leave the World and so was Geoff. It is funny, because before Geoff met me he had never been to Disneyland and had only been to WDW once when he was five and was quite ill. His only memory was of It's a Small World and he had conviced himself that he did not like Disney. I begged him last fall to give me ONE chance to show him the Disneyland that I loved. He gave me that chance and after that he suggested two subsequent trips and even this trip to DisneyWorld. I think he is a confirmed Disney fan now. On this past Saturday he even looked at me and said "I miss Disney World."
Having been to Disneyland over 50 times myself, I definitely noticed differences between the two resorts but I would be hard pressed to say that one is better than the other, they are just different and each have their pros and cons. I love that WDW is so expansive because it gives you so many choices for lodging and dining (something I obviously enjoy) and yet I like DL because it is more intimate and park hopping is so EASY. Some rides are better at WDW like Big Thunder Mountain and some are better at DL like Space Mountain. Some rides are just different between the two parks but neither is superior, in my opinion. Of course, each has things that the other does not have and I like it that way. I am excited for my next trip to Disneyland in April because I love that resort and always will, but going to Walt Disney World has been, as cheesy as it sounds, a lifelong dream come true.
We left Thursday morning and flew to my fiance's former home of Indiana where we toured his alma mater (IU), went to his cousin's wedding and spent lots of time with my fabulous future in-laws.
And thus my story is complete.

Why hasn't isn't this being sold everywhere. I bought Incostress in Boots. Easy to use, even if you don't leak I would recommend every woman use this to keep the pelvic floor strong.
My doctor had never heard of it and when I showed her, she was in agreement that this medical device is something for all women.
I love the fact I am in control. Incostress is a washable tampon designed for every woman to use.
At first I had problems to keep it in but then my doctor showed me how to do my pelvic floor exercises with this in, and now its perfect.
I wish the girl in Boots had taken the time to explain everything about the product before I bought it. She wasn't up to speed about the product. Happily there is lots of information in the leaflet inside the box which makes it easier.
Overall I am delighted with Incostress and this has actually helped me overcome the embarrassment about my incontinence.

Rahi Sarnobat, the first Indian shooter to win a pistol gold (25 metre) in an ISSF World Cup competition recently at Changwon, South Korea, said the next three years could turn out to be a vital period in her career.
Rahi will participate in two more ISSF World Cups this year — at Fort Benning, USA in May and at Munich in November. Her major events in 2014 are the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow, the Asian Games at Incheon, South Korea and the ISSF world championship in Granada.
Her Ukrainian coach Anatoli Puddubny has planned her training schedule and preparation in general for all these events leading to the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Mentored by Pune-based sports NGO Lakshya, sponsor Vascon and Gagan Narang's Gun for Glory Academy, the 22-year-old shooter from Kolhapur credited her success in a challenging field largely to many months of training under Puddubny and her own confidence. "I was keen to make changes in my technique before the London Olympics, but I could not because of lack of sufficient time. But I have changed all that after the Olympics. Moreover, with the new rules wherein the finalists start at zero (points not carried forward from the qualification stage) I felt very comfortable and confident.
"The ISSF World Cup always attracts the best in the field, including the Olympic and World champions. Abhinav Bindra opened the minds of all shooters and I am sure my win will open the minds of my contemporaries," said Rahi at a felicitation function organised by Lakshya at the Press Club Mumbai on Thursday.
She received a cheque for Rs. 5 lakh from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Smarak Samiti.
Rahi scored over local girl Kyeongae Kim 8-6 in the final to clinch the gold. "It was tough with the spectators clapping when Kyeongae took the lead in the fifth round of the final played in a duel format. But I took the sixth series and told myself that at the end of the last round the spectators would have to clap and applaud my win. I was assured of a medal after the sixth and held my nerve," said Rahi.
Sports psychologist B.P. Bam said: "I have known her from the days she had not even lifted a weapon. She is a very matured shooter now, she will not bow to any challenge."

So what if HBO just snagged the Daft Punk song used for the Tron: Legacy trailer and threw it up over Game of Thrones footage? Remember when Peter Jackson stole the theme song from Requiem for a Dream and turned it into a badass trailer for Lord of the Rings? I don't care what music they use so long as the end game is still more Game of Thrones. It's been far too long since I've seen Khaleesi's two naked dragons, Theon putting the moves on his sister, or Little Finger's prostitutes teaching each other about the art of pleasure. Also, you know, the stories. I suppose. Those aren't bad either.
