PLACENTIA - Admitting he was "massively confused," a juror who voted to acquit former Sheriff Mike Carona of conspiracy said he acted against his gut feeling.
In an exclusive interview from his home today, George Zia, a retired high school teacher, said he always thought - and argued during the panel's six days of deliberations - that Carona was guilty, but eventually voted to acquit after being intimidated by other jurors.
Zia, 70, said the facts showed Carona was "guilty as sin," but that confusion, physical pain and fear drove him to switch his vote.
"It was the worst thing I did in my life," Zia said. "I never wanted to vote that. ⦠I think I was scared. I think I was just tired of the whole thing."
Zia, who used to teach social sciences, is noticeably worn down from the 10-week trial.
He spoke softly and reflectively: "I know I feel pretty bad. I feel faint. Primarily, I feel bad because I feel I let people down."
Carona was acquitted last Friday of five counts, including conspiracy. He was found guilty of only one charge - witness tampering. He faces anywhere from probation to 10 years in prison at his April 27 sentencing.
Zia - known in court as juror No. 3 - grabbed headlines this week when U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Guilford released notes that Zia sent to the judge during deliberations.
In one note and in Thursday's interview, Zia said panelists that slept during the trial and didn't take notes wanted to acquit Carona. In a note, he also accused another juror - whom he did not identify - as wanting to acquit and "party with Carona and his women."
Juror admits he caved in
Zia, who other jurors said advocated for guilt, said that intimidation from some jurors and physical pain from a bladder condition led him to vote for acquittal.
"I have regrets that I caved in," he said.
Zia described a jury that was led to a verdict through intimidation. He said one man - who another juror said worked as the Mad Hatter character at Disneyland - was stubborn from the onset.
"We sat down, and (this juror) flat out came out and said, 'Not guilty, didn't do it' - and he put his hands behind his head," Zia said. "This guy was the kiss of death for the whole situation. There was no doubt this guy was not letting anything through."
The juror known as the Mad Hatter declined to comment.

Apple loses bid for US ban on Samsung smartphone sales
Published on Mar 7, 2014 3:37 AM
SAN FRANCISCO (REUTERS) - A US judge on Thursday rejected Apple's request for a permanent sales ban in the United States against some older Samsung smartphones, a key setback for the iPhone maker in its global patent battle.
US District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, ruled that Apple Inc had not presented enough evidence to show that its patented features were a significant enough driver of consumer demand to warrant an injunction.
Apple and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd have been litigating for nearly three years over various smartphone features patented by Apple, such as the use of fingers to pinch and zoom on the screen, as well as design elements such as the phone's flat, black glass screen.
Earlier, US juries had ruled that Samsung, which earned US$7.7 billion (S$9.7 billion) last quarter, had to pay iphone maker Apple more than US$900 million.

This mod is just amazing, really adds more epicness to the mod. If this was out earlier ( talking like 2000 or 2001 ) I bet epic games wouldve added this to the GOTY edition and not the chaos mod!

I've played with the first two versions of this mod, and I have to say that Ferialidragon truly succeeded at taking the older concepts and amping them up in a new way that is both fresh and entertaining on the surface, but incredibly well-organized and crafted everywhere else.

A new standard of UT modding has now been established. And to think this wasn't done by a group but a single person...
Visually stunning, technically considered, balanced, and with a full suite of configurable values allowing for a range of setups, this UT modification should cause any serious player to simply whistle a soft "wow" as they watch the preview.
If you play one mod for UT it should be this one.

DALLAS - MAY 14: Brenden Morrow #10 of the Dallas Stars waits for action against the Detroit Red Wings during game four of the Western Conference Finals of the 2008 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs on May 14, 2008 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. (Photo by: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
Brenden Morrow is a confident guy, but when you're a captain in the National Hockey League like No. 10 has been for the Dallas Stars since he took over the "C" from franchise icon Mike Modano a number of years ago, confidence has to be one of your strong points. A great example of Morrow's confidence came during the Stars' highly-abbreviated training camp. At that time, it looked like the veteran left winger was going to be slotted into skating on either Dallas' third or fourth line, a big change for a guy who had been a fixture in the Stars' top six for most if not all of his career. But last year as Brenden battled through an injury-riddled season, after he returned then-Stars first-year head coach Glen Gulutzan experimented with his captain on the third line and while clearly not happy about dropping down, Morrow handled the entire experience like the true professional that he is. And given that the Stars added such high-quality pieces as Jaromir Jagr, Derek Roy and Ray Whitne...

Lamenting the demise of the both the Subaru WRX STi (above) and the Lexus LFA supercar in the UK market, Top Gear ponders the idea of cars that exceed expectation and somehow manage to become something bigger and better than the sum of their parts. Something... more. Cars that end up with a personality all of their own.
There was fighting in the office. Blood was drawn. And we still didn't have enough space to print even half of the list we came up with. So give us a hand - nominate the cars you think have soul. There doesn't have to be an obvious reason - just give us the one that makes sense to you.

I like Junia.
I think I'd like to name a boy Benjamin, but not sure if DH will agree. We have so much trouble with girl's names! We never even managed to pick one out last pregnancy, so no help there. DH out of the blue came up with a name he really liked, but I don't like it at all. He says maybe I'll come around, but I can't see naming a child something if I'm going to have nagging doubts about the name for the rest of their life. :P

Tools I think you should have
This is an important tool. It really helps when unblocking holes and manipulating string in tight spaces. The best awl is one that never breaks, but since that is unreasonable, the things that make an awl great are:
1) It's blunt
2) Not too thin, on average
3) Not too long
There are a few good awls out there. But, let me explain what I wrote above. A sharp awl can puncture string. You want as blunt a tip as possible to avoid this, and most stringer's awls are plenty blunt enough. A store bought awl will typically be too sharp. Also, it should be thin, to avoid breakage. An awl is not subjected to much bending motions, but when it is, you'd like it to withstand the force and not break. Also, if it is too long, you could get the same bending result. Now, I use the Kimony awl that is available from GSS (their shortest model.) But, I've used many good awls in the past. This is a great tool to have when you need it, but it should be avoided at all costs due to it proclivity to puncture string. Every time you can avoid using the awl, you're saving yourself the risk of heartache.
Starting Clamp
This, I feel, should belong in the first category as a need. Since, technically, you don't need it, it's here. But, I strongly urge all stringers to own one. First, what makes a good starting clamp:
1) Uniform clamping
2) uniform clamp surface
3) plenty of clamping power
4) durability of springs
A starting clamp can help you in three ways
1) Help you tighten knots
2) Act as a bridge when you come up short when pulling tension
3) Help you start crosses
Now, there is a lot of talk about the "best" starting clamp. Many say it's the old red Babolat clamp. I say, it's more important that you have any starting clamp than have none at all. But, be wary of cheap imitators.
I've come across two types of starting clamps, that are different enough to mention. Now, there are some that have more or less springs in the handle. That aside, there is another difference. The clamp that Alpha now sells has a wider head than the one GSS sells. It is also more difficult to open, possibly due to it having a more open grip. I personally recommend the pair sold by GSS. It most closely resembles the clamps I've used and enjoyed in the past (babolat and tecnifibre.)
Setting off awl
This tool is helpful in straightening string. It is a super blunt awl, which allows you to more quickly insert it into the string bed to straighten strings.
It can also save your fingers. When pushing a cross up and down to avoid burning your crosses, you can save your fingers the pain by using this tool instead.
I've used one or two of these. They are all about the same. Just makes sure that it is a rounded, blunt tip. The more blunt, the better.
Tension Calibrator
This tool is essential for all stringers. It allows you to check your machines calibration. ALL machines should be checked for calibration, but drop weights only need theirs checked once. Crank machine owners should check theirs' often (about every 25-30 racquets.) And Electric machine owners should check theirs' about every 200 racquets. This doesn't mean that the machine needs to be adjusted that many times, just that it should be checked. Adjustments to this schedule can be made the more you get to know the eccentricities of your machine.

SANTA ANA – The classified ad in a dating magazine was directed at "Wealthy Men Only," according to court documents. "Classy, well-educated woman ... knows how to take care of her man ... you take care of me and I'll take care of you."
At 50, William McLaughlin was divorced, lonely and wealthy.
In 1991, he answered her ad.
Three years later he was dead, shot to death inside his Balboa Cove home.
McLaughlin had made a fortune in the pharmaceutical industry with a device that filters blood and was going through a messy divorce after a longtime marriage when he sought Johnston's companionship. First they dated, and she soon moved into his expensive home inside a gated community on Newport Bay.
A few minutes after 9 p.m. Dec. 15, 1994, someone got inside McLaughlin's home with a brand new key – apparently while Johnston was out shopping – and shot him six times in the chest with a 9 mm handgun. He died in a pool of blood while his son frantically called 911.
Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy contends the shooter was Eric Naposki, a former National Football League linebacker who was carrying on an affair with Johnston behind McLaughlin's back.
Naposki, who is now 45, was convicted by an Orange County jury in July of first-degree murder plus the special circumstances of murder for financial gain. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole at his sentencing Jan. 20 by Superior Court Judge William Froeberg.
Murphy contends that it was Johnston, who is also known in court documents as Nanette Packard, who put Naposki up to the killing. Johnston, according to Murphy, stood to collect $1 million in life insurance from McLaughlin's death, was entitled to $150,000 from McLaughlin's will, would get title to a late model Infiniti automobile, and be allowed to live for a year in a beach house McLaughlin also owned.
This week, more than 17 years after the slaying, opening statements will begin in Johnston's trial on the 10th floor of the Central Justice Center. She is charged with the special circumstances murder of her millionaire boyfriend, and also faces a life term in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
Deputy Public Defender Mick Hill, however, insists Johnston had nothing to do with McLaughlin's murder.
He said both sides – the prosecution and the defense – in the Naposki trial felt it was in their best interest to portray his client in the worst possible light. And, Hill said, since her trial was separated and postponed, she had no forum to rebut the allegations.
But now, in a trial that is slated to last 10 days, he will have a chance to tell her side of the story.
"She didn't so it," Hill said in an interview. "Naposki did it alone. There is no doubt he did the shooting. The question is, why?"

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2003
Fitch rates the following student loan revenue bonds issued by Brazos Higher Education Authority (Brazos):
Ratings for new issuance:

The ratings are based on the quality of the student loan portfolio consisting entirely of Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) student loans; the credit enhancement provided and the sound legal structure. The ratings address the ability of the trust to pay principal at maturity and pay timely interest. The ratings do not address the ability of the trust to pay carry-over interest, nor do they address the ability of auction rate bondholders to successfully redeem their bonds at an auction now or in the future.
The series 2003A bonds are the fifth issuance under the third supplemental indenture dated as of Feb. 1, 2002 to the trust indenture, dated as of Oct. 15, 1992. The series 2003 bonds are being issued to acquire a FFELP student loan portfolio, refund a portion of Brazos' series 1992C bonds, fund the reserve fund, and pay costs and fees associated with issuance.
The series 2001A-1, 2003A-1 and 2003A-2 bonds are tax-exempt, 35-day auction rate securities with interest payable semiannually, beginning June 1, 2003. The legal final maturity date for the 2003A-1 bonds is December 1, 2037 and for the 2003A-2 bonds December 1, 2005 ($15,100,000), December 1, 2006 ($2,300,000) and May 1, 2009 ($4,900,000). The legal final maturity dates for the series 2001A-1 bonds are November 1, 2004 ($6.4 million), and December 1, 2036 ($35.0 million). The series 2002A-2 and 2002A-3 bonds are taxable, 28-day auction rate securities with interest payable monthly. The legal final maturity date for the series 2002A-2 and 2002A-3 bonds is Dec. 1, 2036.
The collateral securing the bonds consists entirely of FFELP student loans. The FFELP loans are guaranteed 100% or 98% by an eligible guarantor and re-insured by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) depending on their disbursement date.
The issuer is Brazos Higher Education Authority, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation organized in 1975 under the Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act and also operates pursuant to Chapter 53, Texas Education Code on behalf of the City of Waco, Texas. Brazos issues tax-exempt debt under its 150(d) tax status. Brazos is affiliated with Brazos Higher Education Service Corp., and Brazos Student Finance Corp. Fitch currently rates transactions by both Brazos Student Finance Corp. and Brazos Higher Education Authority, Inc.
Brazos Higher Education Service Corporation, Inc. is the Fitch-approved master servicer with AFSA Data Corporation, Great Lakes Higher Education Servicing, Inc., Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, Sallie Mae Servicing Corporation, SunTech Inc. and UNIPAC Service Corporation acting as Fitch-approved subservicers.

While flicking through some photographs of a holiday in the Caribbean in 2009 Craig Jordan was appalled by what he saw, an overweight out of shape middle aged man on a very slippery slope. Craig decided there and then on a campaign to get "Fit for Fifty" and this became his mantra but the question was which sport? Over the next few months he was a regular visitor in the gym and went out and bought a mountain bike but nothing seemed to inspire and getting the journey to get fit seemed destined to fail. On a whim Craig entered a local triathlon and from that moment was hooked on the sport that over the next year took him on an incredible journey across 3 continents, 16 countries meeting and training with the stars of the sport and in the process getting in better shape than he has ever been at any point in his life. An inspiration not only to triathletes but for anyone who believes age is a roadblock to ultimate fitness.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan Versa
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 5.7
After a bruising bout with the economic realities of a bad recession, many Americans are moving to minimize their cost of living. That means giving up the big SUV for something more practical and fuel efficient. But, thanks to cars like the 2011 Nissan Versa, consumers don't have to give up comfort, room and technology. "For the first time in many years," said a Nissan senior marketing manager, many shoppers are "giving serious consideration" to smaller automobiles. These marketing folks detect a "void" in the sub-$14,000 price range, noting that a new generation of young people, known as "echo boomers," will reach driving age soon. Billed as a "no-compromise" value-priced offering that reaches beyond basic amenities, the Versa offers class-leading horsepower and torque, along with a host of unique features and generous interior space.
The 2011 Nissan Versa leads the small-car pack in spaciousness, which is worth considering if you carry passengers in the back seat. Standing tall in both dimensions and refinement, it may also tempt those who appreciate the smoothness of a CVT, which promises 34 miles per gallon on the highway (according to EPA fuel-economy estimates).
Nissan's Versa might not satisfy you if you need to fit three full-size occupants into the rear, but that's common for entry-level compacts. Some may find the Versa's top-hat-like design not as hip or cool as the Honda Fit or Ford Fiesta.
Changes for the 2011 Nissan Versa are limited to the addition of a six-disc CD changer on the 1.8 S Sedan and anti-lock brakes on the 1.6 Sedan (except base.)
Driving Impressions When equipped, Nissan's Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is as smooth as they come. Almost no engine noise is noticeable in ordinary driving and you hear only a tolerable light...snarl during hard acceleration. The Versa's acceleration rivals that of competitors with conventional automatics, although, like most small cars, it's not particularly quick going up hills. Reacting capably on curvy roads, it feels quite confident in the corners and exhibits good stability on expressways. Although the well-controlled ride is pleasant on good surfaces, on rougher roads the occupants may feel a lot of surface imperfections, but few will be particularly troubling. The instrument panel has deep-set gauges that are easy to read.
Affordable Navigation System
Costing just a bit more than a really good portable navigation device, Nissan's newest navigation radio offers the added benefit of XM Satellite Radio and real-time traffic updates. The controls are easy to understand and operate and the 5-inch color screen provides large, legible directions; it's also an unlikely target for smash-and-grab thieves.
Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT):
Nissan has been a leader in CVT installations, which substitute a belt and twin variable-diameter pulleys for the usual gears. The result is exceptionally smooth, linear and rewarding operation – once the driver gets accustomed to the fact that no gear changes will be taking place.
The Versa provides considerably more knee and foot space than many larger automobiles, and front and rear headroom are also abundant. Seats that are close to "chair-height" give impressive comfort, and double French-seam stitching on the upholstery is but one indicator of careful attention to detail. The compact rear suspension results in a low, flat cargo floor, and the front seats are nearly as large as a Maxima's. As in so many smaller cars, the center rear seating position is not the most comfortable.Exterior
The tidy Versa succeeds at not being boxy or bland. Taller and more upright in stance than most small cars, the Versa is exceptionally easy to enter. You can see at a glance that the passenger compartment takes up much of the car's length, the back doors are particularly long and the windshield is about as far forward as possible. Five-door hatchbacks excel in versatility, but may not be popular with everyone. Some shoppers might prefer the Versa Sedan.
Every 2011 Nissan Versa is equipped with seat- and roof-mounted curtain side-impact airbags, a tire-pressure monitor system, electric power steering and an engine immobilizer. The S model includes a six-speed manual transmission, 15-inch steel wheels with full covers, anti-lock brakes (ABS), power body-colored mirrors, a cargo cover and rear wiper/washer (hatchback only), 60/40 split-folding rear seat, CD stereo, air conditioning and tilt steering wheel. The SL version adds an automatic transmission (CVT on hatchback models), 180-watt stereo with six speakers, 15-inch alloy wheels, traction and stability control, rear spoiler, sport front fascia and side sills, six-way manual driver's seat, rear center armrest, cruise control, remote keyless entry and power windows and locks.
Anti-lock braking (ABS) is optional for base 1.6 models. A total of six option groups are divided between the two trims. A Power Plus Package adds cruise control, keyless entry, power locks and power windows to the S models, while the VDC package adds traction and stability control. The SL can be equipped with the Navigation Package, which adds a navigation radio with 5-inch color display, USB connectivity and XM Satellite Radio. SL models can also be equipped with a Convenience Package that adds Intelligent Key entry, Bluetooth hand-free phone operation and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio switches. XM Satellite Radio and an iPod interface hook up are available on both trims, while the SL alone can be equipped with a power moonroof.
For the U.S. market, Nissan's 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine has been specially tuned for stronger low-end torque in S and SL models, and higher fuel economy in base cars. Four transmissions are available: A five-speed manual (base), six-speed manual, four-speed automatic (Sedan) and the Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Available only on the SL hatchback trim, the CVT incorporates a virtual low range, for long, steep hills and heavier pulling.

"my Versa currently has 200k miles on it. I've never had any issues. The only thing I've done is replace the battery and tires. I purchased it used with 46k miles on it, and I've never been happier. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is the combo of its light weight and height makes it catch the wind on windy days."

"I've had my 2009 Nissan Versa for 4 years now. Bought it used and have been very happy with it. The only drawback was it was a little high mileage when I bought it because it was a Fleet vehicle. But it has been very, very dependable. The Versa appears small from the outside but that is deceptive. The inside is very roomy, even for very tall people. There have been a couple of problems but not in the engine. The hubcaps all flew off within about a year and I did see that that was a problem with this model. Replaced them with cheap ones I got online and no problem, and they look just as good as the factory ones. CD player has problem with CDs sticking in it, and I wouldn't buy black again because the finish shows every little scratch. Also, the A/C blower doesn't seem to work well on low settings but fine on high. I drive it hard and long distances and have had no real mechanical problems even though there are over 90k miles on it. Good gas mileage (small tank, maybe 12 gallon, but you can get far on it). Great on wet roads, too. Very comfortable interior and good turning radius. Plan to buy another to replace it when I do!"

We enjoyed it so much that we have taken it on long trips that we usually use my Camry for. One major complaint I have is the sunroof drainage. Somehow they designed the car with a drain hole for the water around the sunroof instead of making the roof airtight. This drainage system clogs periodically and I have to go to my mechanic to shoot a blast of compressed air into the hole to clear the clog. Amazing"

Best Memories-
Riding Screamin' with my oldest the first time and him yelling "I DID IT" as we went through the loop
Watching my youngest when he's in the Animation building or at Redwood Creek Challenge, he'll stay at either all day
Watching the Electrical Parade with both my kids summer of 2006, we got so much character interaction!!
Riding ToT during MC's 2nd Anniversary Still makes me laugh
DMCA meet GayDays 2006 at the Cove Bar
Riding Maliboomer for the first time with All Aglow & G4 last year, making fun of ourselves(AA & I) for being chickens
DMCA lunches at Trattoria. Every single time has been GREAT. Even when we were soaked and freezing!
It's a birthday, I'm not posting any bad memories!

and crowded that day! and in FEBRUARY! No Shade, those ugly colored blob shaped sacks, DeVine the moving piece of shrubbery, 3 hour and 50 minute wait for Soarin', eating at Chips Strips and Dips, and Hollywood and
Dine (neither which are there anymore) becoming stupified on Superstar Limo. and those happened on a GOOD TRIP!
It was so cold that night outside, down into the thirties. And I'm sure
most of us ended up getting sick, for staying out in the cold. And then
the park was NO-WHERE near capacity on Opening Day!!!!! With all the
speculation by Disney planning for upwards of 30,000 to be in the parking
structure the night before! and only about 1,100 were in the group,that stayed in line overnight, with a lot returning to their hotel rooms, for how cold it was. I remember Buddy Ebson was there for the grand opening,
as well as Roy Disney and Eisner. I even got Michael Eisner's signature
on an opening day map of DCA on opening day! That ought to be worth
$5 in about 20 years.
HOWEVER my first time in DCA was on a special event day on 1-19-01,
Bill Clinton's last full day in office. It was a fine day to celebrate his
never being president again. I entered DCA through Grand California
entrance about 4pm. Looking at the National Park type setting, a river
with Geysers, Rainbows shinning through them and Grizzly Peak as it's background. My initial 1st view inside DCA was quite beautiful.
I was on an event challenge to answer questions
about certain attractions in the park. I got a chance to do pretty much
all the attractions in DCA, (with the exception of Soarin')
and also saw the Panel discussion by the "Dr Frankensteins of DCA",
seeing the "ORIGINAL" Steps in Time with Four adult singers (instead of the craptastic two brothers storyline) I was amazed By it's opening Snow White numbers! Absolutely the best show stopping numbers I've seen in the Hyperion Theater, and was never even performed in DCA after that day. Really sad that No one got to see those songs when DCA actually opened. And It would have been a perfect salute to the recent 70th anniversary celebration of Snow White.
Also, I was amazed by "Eureka!" DL resorts first parade without any Disney characters. It was a Night viewing of this parade, amazing lighting, one of the most colorful, and each of the floats did have it's own soundtrack that blended perfectly from one section of the parade, to the next. Catch fun original music. This was one of the very best parades ever at the DLR.
The main entry area was beneath underwhelming, however the Hollywood
section certainly had potential, although the current state was definitely too small. I was overwhelmed by the animation lobby ~ absolutely astounding!
(too bad they have recently ruined that big open feeling with an exhibit. It ruins that area completely!) But, reliable rumors of a Tower of Terror from the Imagineer Panel, was good news for the future!
Then as I approached the last area of this NEWEST part of the Disney Empire, Paradise Pier came in to view. Without a doubt the most unimaginative, lame-assed excuse for a NEW section of a DISNEY park!!! I wanted to thoroughly explore this area completely~ to make sure I wasn't missing anything. BUT with the "so-called "PARADISE" Pier it's not possible to miss a thing 'cuz it just ain't THAT DEEP!
After exploring the entire area, I came to LOATH Paradise Pier Pier,
and I DESPISED it even MORE when Tokoyo Disney Sea's opened just a few
short months later! DCA became noted for being a dumpground of off the shelf rides ~ and image that overshadowed it's amazing Soarin' over Californina and amazing Animation Building. "IT", (Paradise Pier) even overshadowed much of the beauty surrounding the Grizzly Peak and Condor Flats area.
The Imagineers stated several times over that their challenge was to create something that complimented DL. Unfortunately the contrast between paradise Pier and any part of DL (with the exception of Tomorrowland, which was in deplorable condition less than three
years after it's own "PRESSLER"ization) was too huge to be ignored!
Where were the attractions that brought our imaginations to REALITY,
like the Haunted Mansion, or Pirates?!?!?!?!?! WHERE could we travel on bobsleds through the Matterhorn, or into the vast reaches of outer Space,
WHERE could we have a Country Band of Bears entertain us for 15 to 20 minutes. Where was that Hawaiian shack that came to life? There was but ONE, count that high if you can, ONE!!!!!! ONE SINGLE DARK RIDE with Superstar Limo on opening day. and Soarin' which was a semi dark ride.
That's a pretty darn short list to try and attract 30 thousand more a day.
SEVEN LONG YEARS LATER, Paradise Pier is FINALLY starting to see it's very
first addition, AND it STILL encompasses the Pathetic Carnival THEME!!!!!
Is it any wonder why DCA still struggles when the head honchos haven't had the cohones to eliminate this horrible themed area, and bring us ANYTHING
that resembles ANYTHING similar to imagination?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHY oh WHY
oh WHY couldn't even Lasseter say "Tear Down This Pier"!!!! Anything, Any area of TDS has MORE imagination than the crapfest in PP!!!!! That is, was and always will be my worst memory/nightmare for DCA.
Of course, I've had some fun times at DCA, with Halloween treat, and
me being Cruella DeVil's long lost brother, and of course NYE with the
Mice Chat gang, But admittedly that is self made fun, with little or no
inspiration from Disney Imagination in DCA, because of the lack of it, in
DCA. I can have fun in spite of it, but I'd rather it be something that
could be inspiration. THAT is my dream for the Conversion of DCA.
Nice Post Aladdin. Sometimes you forget all the cool things things that have happened at DCA. Thanks for the memories.
I have a few fun memories:
-Many a "board meeting" at Cove Bar.
-Acquiring our "thing" with Dmom.
-The waitress thinking we were all sisters at Trattoria.
-Watching the Electrical Parade with great friends Memorial Day 2007....Passamaquody!
-Finally establishing being Evil Twins with Onut at Corn Dog Castle.
-The first trip there with SusieP, when we didn't really go.

Happy 7th DCA! I sorta miss the parking lot!
Best Memory of DCA
Dining at Wolfgang Pucks late at night and watching the waves and seeing the lights over the water. Riding Soaring Over California for the first time.
Worst Memory
Running out of things to do after a few hours. Riding Superstar Limo (although it was better than Pooh).
OK best and worst memory are the same memory. We waited in line for the 50th anniversary on July 16th. We got in line at around 11:30 pm near the tram loading/unloading zone. I think it was around 2:00 am that they moved the line into DCA? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) But we were moved into DCA and we ended up being right at the end of the Hollywood backlot I think roughly behind 1500 people. Anyway stayed up all night caught about 20 minutes of sleep on the cold concrete and then the next morning they shuffled the line into Disneyland at 7:00 am. Looking back it's a great memory and I wouldn't trade it for anything but I was dog tired the entire next day.
happy birthday. you'll get to that certain age when people stop pushing you around and you get into that phase in your life where you will be appreciated more. Need to wash the acne off your pimples... (aka, wash the mismanagement off that causes such imperfections as Orange Stinger, Maliboomer, Mullohand Madness...)

good pointI won't bring up bad things on a birthday
the best memory i had was going on tower for the first time. that first drop what a rush
also happy birthday
we got free bbq for Tower and Hyperion castmembers. and also Rootbeer floats! hhappy late bday DCA haha.
well happy birthday DCA! i also have a friend who is turning 7 this year too.. (but he was born on leap year day, so that kinda doesn't count)
my memories:
- going on soarin' the first time... still love it
- not getting sick on orange stinger.. and being quite proud of myself.
- riding heimlich's chew chew train. it's just so cute..
and hopefully by it's 10th birthday it'll be better than now!
I have few bad memories, just ones of general disappointment.
And since I'm not much of a drinker, I can't really take advantage of the chance to forget that the park offers.
Oh, well. They had to put the AP lounge someplace.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The Rangers played one of their most complete games of the season as they eliminated the Devils from postseason contention, winning 4-1. The Rangers were the better team throughout led once again by Callahan and Stepan offensively with Henrik Lundqvist again in strong form in net. The Rangers are peaking at the right time. You have to enjoy the Devils mocks from the crowd toward the end. That feels good. So does seeing their head coach get ejected. This was a satisfying win for the Rangers. On to the goal breakdown.
First period
Rangers 1-0; Ryan Callahan
The Rangers struck early; after getting in deep and generating pressure along the boards the puck caroms off the boards to Callahan who, stationed to the right of the Devils goal caught Brodeur off guard to bank it off his right skate in to the net. The goal was basically a result of immediate puck pressure and a strange bounce that Callahan was able to take advantage of.
Rangers 2-0; Derek Stepan
Traffic + puck possession = goals. The Rangers cycled the puck down low effectively then moved the puck to the blueline where it eventually came to Ryan McDonagh. As McDonagh wound up for a shot, two Rangers (Clowe and Stepan) went toward the net and created a heap of traffic in front of Brodeur. McDonagh's shot from the right point appears to take a deflection in front from Stepan as Brodeur could see very little as the puck found its way in.
Second Period
Rangers 3-0; Taylor Pyatt
Midway through the second, Brad Richards emphasised his recent upturn in form with a great steal to set up the third Rangers goal. After the Rangers had pressured the Devils for several minutes with a great consistent forecheck, Richards intercepted a zone clearing pass by the Devils showing great anticipation. Richards then settled the puck and fed a streaking Taylor Pyatt who beat Brodeur with a great wrist shot up high from the slot. The goal was a great counter punch by the Rangers, in particular Brad Richards.
Third Period
Rangers 4-0; Ryan Callahan (powerplay)
Grabbing a fourth Rangers goal, Callahan chipped one in from the right, over a diving Brodeur on the powerplay as Brad Richards fed him down low. The goal came after a selfish penalty from Patrick Elias negated a Devils powerplay. The goal highlighted some nice puck movement, vision and patience from the Rangers all over the ice. John Moore and Mike Del Zotto moved the puck quickly up high, on to Richards who faked the shot before feeding Callahan to the right. It was another heads up play by Richards, once again showing off some new found confidence.
Rangers 4 Devils 1; Andrei Loktionov
The Rangers gave up a late one to the Devils as Loktionov spoiled Lundqvist' shutout bid with just over six minutes remaining. Following a turnover around center ice, the puck came to Loktionov to the right of Lundqvist, who was completely open. The Devil skated in closer and sent a low shot under the Rangers goalie into the net. A breakdown all over the ice for the Rangers; poor coverage, a turnover up ice and a shot that Lundqvist would expect to save more often than not.
Summing up
The Rangers harassed the puck carrier all game long. They played smart defensively, their defensemen pinched at the right times while the Rangers won puck battles all over the ice and controlled the boards. With Lundqvist making big saves when required the Rangers played well in almost every facet. They started the game well, and a dip in play at the start of the middle period aside they played with energy, discipline and a consistently aggressive forecheck. Just overall, a great game by the Rangers that underlines their recent improved play. Perhaps evidenced perfectly by Brad Richards' vast improvement tonight and in recent games, this team appears to be rounding into form at the perfect time in the season.
Star of the game:
Ryan Callahan; once again did absolutely everything.

TESERO, Italy—Junior Rune Oedegaard got the Buffs off to a strong start at the 26th Winter World University Games, taking 12th place in the Skiathlon in a time of 39:09.5 and less than 30 seconds behind the race winner.
In all, three Buffs were in action with senior Arnaud Du Pasquier finishing 56th in a time of 42:57.2 while 2013 senior Eliska Hajkova finished 22nd in the women's race in a time of 30:39.5. Both Hajkova and Oedegaard were the top finishers among those skiers who compete for schools in the United States.
The Skiathlon got action underway Thursday and is the first of eight busy days of racing for all the Nordic and alpine skiers at the Games. The Skiathlon is a combined freestyle and classic race, the men ski 7.5 kilometers in each discipline and the women 5K in each.
All three skiers as well as former Buff Gustav Nordstroem are slated to be in action on Saturday in the Sprint Classic races.
Alpine takes center stage Friday with the downhill races. Slated to compete for the Buffs are Roger Carry (Canada), Fletcher McDonald (USA), Cameron Smith (USA), Shane McLean (USA) and Brooke Wales (USA).
Hartman Goes Fast During Speed Week
In other news, former All-American Katie Hartman is on a quest for Sochi and the Winter Olympics. The last five days at Copper Mountain, the speedster had some great results in Downhill and Super G races, hitting the podium four times in six races.
She opened up her week with a third place finish in a Nor-Am Cup Super G race on Saturday and then took fourth in a Super Combined and third in a Super G on Sunday. Tuesday as part of the US National Championships, she was the runner-up in the Downhill race and then mirrored that result the next day in another Downhill race in Nor-Am Cup action. Thursday she finished seventh in another Downhill race.

The world famous Ingle camp in Sheffield are backing welterweight hot shot Kell Brook to match the achievements of the gym's other world champions, Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson and Junior Witter. Brook, still only 22, makes the second defence of his British title on January 30 at Bethnal Green's York Hall against Stuart Elwell..
And trainer Dominic Ingle - who shares corner duties with his father Brendan and brother John - is expecting big things from "The Kid".
"It will be a travesty if Kell doesn't become a world champion with the talent that he has," said Ingle.
"In fact, our biggest problem at the moment is getting him opponents who will test him, because the only danger that I can see is complacency.
"I'd like to see him challenging for European honours by the end of the year and working on his world rankings because he's a world class fighter and needs to be pushed all the time.
"He's still young, but fighters like Naz were challenging for world titles at a similar kind of age."
Brook had a memorable 2008, capturing the British title against Barrie Jones at York Hall, then knocking out former champion Kevin McIntyre in the first round in Glasgow.
Both victories saw Brook display plenty of power against opponents who have troubled other fighters.
"Against Jones, people said that Kell was gifted the title, but a couple of months later Jones gave Souleymane M'Baye a tough fight and should have got the decision," said Ingle.
"And McIntyre was being tipped for victory before Kell did a job on him. Those Kell's two toughest fights, and he gave his best two performances as a professional."
Meanwhile Brook, unbeaten in 18 fights with 11 stoppages, has trained throughout Christmas and the New Year.
"The gym is very competitive, and no one does you any favours," said Ingle. "Kell knows that he has to be in shape and not cut corners because otherwise he'll get found out.
"But his attitude is fantastic and he's working so hard. He put in 14 weeks before he fought McIntyre, and he's had another great camp ahead of this fight, so we are expecting another explosive performance."
DeGale tops list with Obama!
Boxing sensation James DeGale has been backed as one to watch in 2009 - alongside US President elect Barack Obama.
The Olympic middleweight gold medallist has been picked by Britain's longest running Afro-Caribbean newspaper The Voice as one of the faces of the New Year.
And he features alongside other movers and shakers in the worlds of sport, politics, show-business and finance, including Obama, Usain Bolt, Lewis Hamilton and X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke.
"Barack Obama is such an inspirational figure and to be mentioned in the same context as him is fantastic," said DeGale, who will make his professional debut later this year.
"He'll become the most powerful man on the planet when he takes office - and I'm aiming to become the most powerful boxer in the world!
"Seriously, it's great to get this kind of recognition, and I'm determined to prove a point when I make my debut and show everyone what I can do.
"It's not long now until I turn professional, and I'm counting down the days until I finally step through the ropes.
"I trained over Christmas and the New Year, and I'm raring to go."
CHRIS EDWARDS has been given a double boost at the expense of unlucky Ian Napa.
Stoke-on-Trent warrior Chris, 32, will now top the bill in his hometown at Fenton Manor Sports Complex on Friday January 23 when he challenges Wayne Bloy (5-3-1) for the vacant British flyweight championship.
Their exciting match-up will now be a double title battle with the vacant Commonwealth crown also on the line.
Londoner Napa was meant to headline the Potteries card, but went down with a severe bout of flu over Christmas and has been forced to withdraw from his European bantamweight title defence.
Promoter Frank Maloney: "My partners on the show from Impact Boxing tell me Stoke is sleeping giant for boxing.
"Here is the perfect opportunity for them to get behind their man and roar him to a famous victory.
"No domestic flyweight has dominated at home for years and Chris (11-13-3) has the perfect chance here.
"If he wins impressively and the locals get behind him we can build boxing in the area around him. It is a chance he must grab with both hands.
"The way Staffordshire people have got behind the Stoke City this season shows how passionate the people are. The fans at the Britannia Stadium are like an extra player."
With Napa injured Maloney and Impact Boxing have added a magnificent final eliminator for the Commonwealth welterweight title to the bill.
Manchester's wildly exciting Mark Thompson (18-1) will face Ghanaian southpaw Philip Kotey (19-4). Current welterweight champion Craig Watson must face the winner by June 30 or be stripped.
Maloney added: Mark's manager and co-promoter Steve Wood keeps telling me his man deserves a fight with Watson. He is now one win away."
Another great fight on the bill sees the show's co-promoter Scott Lawton (25-4-1) make the first defence of his English lightweight title against Salisbury's Henry Castle (19-4).
Tickets for 'Stoking the Fire' are priced £35 and £70. They can be obtained from www.frankmaloney.com or 0871 226 1508

I'm better now.

I grew up hunting deer in the mountians and fields of the Blue Ridge. I've taken a big 8 pointer and a decent 7 and a doe and our farm in Hungry Mother Va this season. I like the quiet of a mountian hunt.
I moved out here to Central VA and soon learned about hunting deer with dogs. I was informed that this is the old plantation way, the best way to move deer in a swamp and in thick timber. It's a more social way to hunt deer, not the quiet solo way I grew to love at home.
I don't defend ungentlemanly behavior. I can't speak for the clubs that run dogs.
Now having said that. I have had to learn deal with the type of hunting that comes with dogs chasing deer. Clubs run dogs across the private land that I hunt in Amelia or dogs gradually get to where I hunt. Saturdays in Amelia start out quiet and I enjoy dawn and the start of a day of being alone afield or maybe with my son. Later in the morning, dogs in the distance gradually draw closer or they don't. You never know. However, if they make it to this private property, the walker hounds especially, MOVE deer. It gets exciting, and often the deer are running hard in very thick cover. I can't say that it is my favorite, it's not. But it is fun, the dogs are loud, and deer bust out of heavy cover that is difficult to access. It is not the easiest thing in the world to bring down a running buck with a good shot. It takes skill and good markmanship. It's very sporting to me.
I don't want to be sociable when I hunt, I prefer to be alone. However, let freedom ring. Do what you want. The same people that want to shut down dirt biking and trail riding want to shut down deer hunting too. More or less. Sorry about the truck. I'd be pissed too.
I ain't a going without my
, my gun, my whisky and my Bible.
