Our stay was perfectly wonderful.
Very spacious and nice
Thanks so much for the feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your days, hope to see you again in the future.
Excelente casa para as férias na Disney !
A casa é ótima, muito confortável.
Acabamos não aproveitando a piscina, porque mesmo com aquecimento o frio nos desanimou de usá-la.
O acesso para os parques é fácil, coisa de 15 min, dependendo do trânsito. Tem mercado bem pertinho (Publix) e farmácia (CVS) também.
O proprietário foi atencioso e disponível quando necessário.
Recomendo 100%!
Excellent Stay

People assume that mortgages will always be available but what if that's wrong? Could there be a mortgage shortage in the near future, a time when financing shelves are bare?
Consider a new study by ComplianceEase which shows that next year "one in five mortgages would not qualify for safe harbor under Dodd-Frank." Sounds pretty grim until you realize that many of the loans which would not pass muster only fail because lenders are now charging higher fees than the new rules allow.
In fact, the study suggests no mortgage shortage whatsoever. Instead, it shows that 80 percent of all loans originated today would be acceptable under the 2014 qualified mortgage guidelines, meaning that most loans by most lenders already meet future standards.
Figures from the Mortgage Bankers Association also explain why there isn't a loan shortage today and why there won't be one tomorrow: Originating mortgages is profitable under the new rules. MBA figures show that profits per loan increased from $917 before the passage of Wall Street Reform to $1,528 in the second quarter of this year. How many businesses have done as well since 2010?
What If Investors Keep Their Cash? What about funding? Could investors worldwide turn away from mortgage-backed securities and seek other investments, thus reducing the cash available for home loans in the U.S.?
In theory it could happen but in practice a cash shortage is unlikely for two reasons. First, the U.S. marketplace is soaked with cash. Second, we're in a rate slump.
"Big banks are flooded to the gills with deposits that are costing them virtually nothing," says the Los Angeles Times.
The marketplace is awash with so much capital that in early September the interest rate for jumbo mortgages was lower than the rate for conforming loans! How can there possibly be a loan shortage when lenders are dumping money into the marketplace at a discount?
But what happens if foreign investors no longer put their money into the U.S. mortgage system? That could certainly happen but such a move on a mass scale is unlikely for two reasons: First, investors would have to find an alternative market as large and secure as the U.S. Second, look at what happened to mortgage rates when the government was shut down in October and there was talk of not paying the U.S. debt: Mortgage rates fell, hardly evidence of less capital coming to the states.
Mortgage Rates While 2012 was a banner year in financing with mortgage rates as low as 3.3 percent, 2013 has seen rates rise above 4 percent.
Are the "higher" rates seen in 2013 evidence of a looming mortgage shortage? Not hardly. Standard & Poors notes that mortgage rates during the past 40 years averaged 8.6 percent. In fact, rates today are so low the Wall Street Journal reports that when home builders offer a choice of lower mortgage rates or upgrades such as better carpets or nicer kitchen cabinets it turns out that buyers prefer the goodies they can see and touch rather than cheaper loans.
Falling Originations The Mortgage Bankers Association says that in 2014 loan originations will drop 32 percent but fear not, such a reduction is not evidence of a mortgage shortage.
The MBA gets the 32 percent figure because while it "expects purchase originations to increase 9 percent, it expects refinance originations to fall 57 percent."
The MBA projection, if correct, is extremely good news.
If purchase-money mortgages increase 9 percent it means that home sales will rise, something very desirable for both the housing sector and the national economy. The National Association of Realtors says it expects roughly 5.29 million existing home sales this year. Adding 9 percent to the total suggests another 475.000 transactions — very good news, especially if it means reducing the distressed homes inventory.
But what about that huge refinancing fall-off? Is that in any way tied to a financing shortage?
The answer is no. There will be less refinancing for the very simple reason that people trade-in their loans when they get a material benefit in return. For the past few years homeowners have been refinancing like crazy because mortgage rates have been at historic lows. Why would they refinance again when the MBA expects mortgage rates to reach 5 percent in 2014?
The MBA's projected 57-percent refinancing decline simply means that borrowers are lucid and rational — and that lenders will have to compete harder to get the business that remains.
Of course, you could look at the possibility of mortgage shortages this way: The ComplianceEase study says 20 percent of all mortgages today will not meet 2014 guidelines while the MBA says mortgage demand will fall 32 percent. Rather than a shortage, this seems like a formula for a mortgage glut.

How to Make a Jingle Bell Windchime

Add a bit of holiday cheer to your garden with this tutorial on How to Make a Jingle Bell Windchime from Bernadette Fox. Fashioned using a children's bicycle wheel, leather belts, and old bells, this DIY project is truly a site to behold. You'll also enjoy the soft gingle of the bells as you curl up on a blustery winter day with a cup of hot cocoa and your favorite book.
- Children's bicycle wheel
- Several old leather belts
- An assortment of bells (I used old carriage bells from my great grandparents. Think about using family heirlooms for this wind chime, also)
Drill four holes in rim of wheel, each of them opposite the other in a T pattern.
Cut out strips of leather in varying lengths leaving the buckle on the longest length.
String the leather strip with the buckle into the middle of the wheel and tie a know to hold it in place. This leather strip and buckle will serve as the hanger and the holder for the largest bell.
Attach the rest of the leather strips to the wheel using 24 gauge wire.
- Attach the bells to the bottom of each leather strip with the same wire.

Future Islands – "Seasons Change (Waiting On You)" (BADBADNOTGOOD Reinterpetation)
Give Ontario jazz-rock trio the opportunity to revise one of the most sensual songs of the year, and what do they do? They make it even more sensual.
Yes, BADBADNOTGOOD basically pulls apart and reassembles Future Islands' "Seasons Change (Waiting On You)," and they turn it into a sweet piece of vintage soul in the process. What's even more amazing is that they successfully maintain everything about the track that made it so great in the first place.
Few remixes churn out results this amazing.
Julia Holter – "Don't Make Me Over" / "Hello Stranger"
Beloved woozy, ethereal songstress Julia Holter has a new single, and it features two cover songs. The tracks are "Don't Make Me Over" and "Hello Stranger."
Look for the single on Domino Records this August.
Various Artists – Anything for You: A Tribute to Swans
Are you one of the admirable few who's managed to abstain from listening to Swans' massive new album To Be Kind? Hang in there – there's only a handful of days left to go! But maybe you've already worn out their other 12 records waiting and need a little something to keep you from cracking? Well, CHVRCHDVST Records is here for you, with this sprawling, 32-song-long tribute album to Swans by various underground acts ranging from drone to folk to post-punk in style. It's like the length of two whole Swans records (or four early Swans records)! This really oughtta keep you occupied til Tuesday…But seriously, you should just give in and listen to the album already. No one's gonna judge.
Also, Swans has begun uploading its back catalog to their YouTube channel. Check that shit out if you've been meaning to get into their music.
Xiu Xiu – "You'd Be So Nice" & "Just Say I Love Him"
With September's "Don't smoke in bed," Xiu Xiu gave us our first glimpse at its upcoming Graveface Records debut Nina, a collection of 11 Nina Simone covers done in the style of free jazz. Since then, the band has shared two more tracks from the project, "Just Say I Love Him" and "You'd Be So Nice." The former, which actually has a discernible, catchy groove, can be streamed via the Soundcloud widget below; and the latter, the noisiest offering so far, is accompanied by a classy minimalist music video that can be watched above. Enjoy!
Nina is slated for release December 3.
The Flaming Lips – "Elephant" (Tame Impala Cover)
The Flaming Lips are teaming up with touring mates Tame Impala for an EP that will see both acts covering two of each other's songs. Tame Impala has elected to take on "Are You a Hypnotist??" and "Silver Trembling Hands," while The Flaming Lips have chosen "Runway, Houses, City, Clouds" and "Elephant." Above, check out The Flaming Lips' surprisingly understated version of the Lonerism standout.
The EP will be for sale on vinyl at the two's shared shows on October 31 and November 1, in San Francisco and Santa Barbara respectively. The Flaming Lips have also just released Peace Sword, a mini album inspired by the upcoming movie Ender's Game, via Warner Bros. Spotify Stream
Phosphorescent – "Ya Hey" (Vampire Weekend Cover)
"Ya Hey" is probably one of the most annoying songs on Vampire Weekend's often-good third LP, Modern Vampires of the City. However, that didn't stop Phosphorescent from ambling through a quite beautiful performance of it when they stopped by KCSN. Led by Matthew Houck's well-worn and amber vocals, their version is a lot more bearable than the original, and is definitely worth a listen.
Look out for a deluxe edition of Phosphorescent's very good 2013 LP, Muchacho, which includes a disc of live cuts, via Dead Oceans on October 29.
Kurt Vile – "Down in It" (Nine Inch Nails Cover)
Kurt Vile covers Nine Inch Nails
Watch Kurt Vile's hazy take on Nine Inch Nails' very first single, "Down in It," for The A.V. Club's "A.V. Undercover" series. Kurt brings his easygoing charm to the track's "white rap" vocals, and receives able backing from bandmate Rob Laakso on electronics. Enjoy!
Although apparently inadvertent on Kurt's part, the timing could not be better for this cover. Nine Inch Nails' new album Hesitation Marks is due out next week via Columbia Records and is available to stream in full via iTunes.
And here's a review of this year's fantastic Wakin on a Pretty Daze:
The Flaming Lips – "Gates of Steel"
Prolific psych-rockers The Flaming Lips have shared yet another new music video; this time for a cover of Devo's "Gates of Steel." Shot during the same live session as the "Turning Violent" video that dropped last week, the Freedom of Choice cut is brilliantly adapted to fit the radiantly noisy sonic and visual esthetic that the band's been flaunting since The Terror.
The cover comes across as incredibly triumphant in its own right, with it's twangy guitar, deliberate bass, spacey synth, and driving percussion providing a lush backdrop for Coyne's dramatic vocal delivery and mannerisms. To make matters even more epic, there's lots and lots of glitter. Enjoy!

in my 10 years of activism, I learnt one thing — when they cannot buy you or intimidate you, they eliminate you. The word 'they' here refers to the all-pervasive, all-powerful billionaires who virtually control the purse strings of our convoluted democracy. Dare to speak up against them and you will have to face the consequences. To shut my mouth, I was offered a bribe. On my refusal, I was slapped with a defamation case and jailed for 72 days; only the Supreme Court could grant me bail. And when all the bullying and threats did not work, I was shot — twice in my leg.
I walk with a stick now. It does not pain much. But the pain shoots up when I see the hopelessness the common man (the poor man to be precise) in this country is faced with. Earlier this month, it all came back to me. This happened not very far from where I live. In a midnight raid, the Madhya Pradesh police arrested four forest rights activists. Their crime: they dared to speak up for saving the forests. In this day and age, where the scramble for a two-digit growth figure is supreme, they did the unspeakable and officially became an impediment to development.
Of those arrested, two are members of Mahan Sangharsh Samiti (MSS) and two are Greenpeace activists who had been opposing a coal-mining proposal in the Mahan forests of Singrauli district. While three of them have been granted bail, one MSS member still languishes in jail. The Mahan coal block, which got a hasty final stage forest clearance from former environment minister Veerappa Moily in February this year, will destroy the oldest and the largest Sal forests in Asia with an estimated canopy density of 70 per cent. There are 54 villages within the 10 kilometre radius of the coal block. As per the 2011 census, there are around 77,000 people living in these villages of which around 25,000 are from various tribal communities.
The forest is the main source of income for a chunk of these families as many of them have small land holdings, and thus agriculture alone does not meet their economic or nutritional needs. But sadly, these people (the marginalised sections) do not even have land titles, nor are their community forest rights recognised under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 or the Forest Rights Act (FRA). This makes them ineligible for compensation if their land is taken away for 'development'.
Our Constitution has equipped us with laws such as the FRA and the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act 1996 or PESA, but the lack of political will has resulted in these rights not being implemented. The Right To Information (RTI) Act, for instance, is a very powerful tool. It was through RTI that we were able to scrap the Gare IV/6 coal block allocated to the Jindals. I got two bullets as a thank you gift. But again, will our policymakers ensure protection to RTI activists and whistleblowers? Only two months after the Whistleblowers Protection Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha, RTI activist Chandra Mohan Sharma was found dead in his car. There is a fixed template of cronyism and corruption that we are forced to live with. The dissenters are systematically removed.
Take the environment ministry for instance. Our environment ministers have been chosen carefully so that the ministry functions ideally as a 'clearance house' that ultimately clears 99 per cent of the projects. In the 10 years of UPA, we saw that the ones who refuse to abide by the environment ministry's real mandate were skillfully removed. Wasn't it why Jairam Ramesh was 'promoted' when he made some noise about no-go areas, to be replaced by Jayanthi Natarajan (a more pragmatic, industry friendly-face), who was later removed as she didn't bend to the demands of industry? It was then only up to Veerappa Moily to save the ministry from its descent. After all, how else do you earn brownie points with the corporate honchos three months before elections?
Mahan was among the big-ticket projects that were cleared. The Gram Sabha Resolution that forms the basis of this final clearance has been doctored, say villagers. The resolution, obtained through RTI, has signatures of people who were not even present in the Gram Sabha. And shockingly, it has names of people who have been dead for years. The tribal minister VKC Deo wrote to the BJP chief minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chauhan about this blatant violation of FRA, but to no avail. How can one expect a response from a chief minister who reportedly went on a 20-minute fast to get the Stage I forest clearance for the Mahan coal block?
Trapped among corporates, politicians, and bureaucrats, it is the marginalised section that bears the brunt of 'development'. For holistic, sustainable development, India does not need token ministries that are designed to favour the moneyed class. Development in its truest sense can only be brought about through people's movement — a revolution. Gandhi once gave us a talisman: "Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man (woman) whom you may have seen, and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him (her). Will he (she) gain anything by it? Will it restore him (her) to a control over his (her) own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away." Unfortunately, we have forgotten his talisman. The only Gandhi we remember is the one adorning the currency note.
The author is an environment activist and has recently been awarded the prestigious Goldman Prize for his work in Chhattisgarh

Ive never had a problem and have been breastfeeding for 3 years total between my two kids so far. I go to restaurants, travel, ball games, weddings, farmers market, cities, parks, etc.
I'd say that I breastfeed my second in the Ergo about 75% time out of the house just for convenience so nobody ever notices.
My daughter is 15 months old, and now we're down to only morning and night feedings at home, but I fed her all the time, and anywhere she needed it, until recently. I may have had a few funny looks, but never once was I approached or given a "mean" stare.
The more we do this....and act peacefully natural about feeding our children, the more it will be considered fully normal.
I"ve had people throw stink eye looks but nobody has every SAID anything or kicked me out.
I breastfed my daughter in court once! Hey, when you're hungry, you're hungry. No one has ever said anything to me for breastfeeding my child, including the judge from court, but we live in a pretty liberal city, so I don't expect anyone would. If they did, I wouldn't care.
Initially I tried to cover up, but DS refused covers. DD only likes to nurse with my breast pulled out over my top, not with my shirt pulled up, so we just do that. I refuse to feel ashamed or immodest, as I am feeding my child. Thanks to all the mamas here on MDC, I know my rights and feel empowered to do what works for us. And that feels so good!
I have never had any problems NIP, thankfully!
Also never a problem here in NYC and travels through past 19 months. Have nursed in subways, parks, restaurants, ballparks, buses, airplanes, churches, bookstores, etc. Has been totally unremarkable.
Happy to encourage others.
I'm still a new mom, but I've yet to have a problem... and I've done it uncovered. Then again, in Utah I'm legally protected to nurse in public, covered or not. Probably has mixed with the public view.
Nursed my young'n for about 3 years in public (she weaned at 4). Only covered up if it was cold or sun was too bright. Got lots of smiles, especially when she was little and I fumbled more with getting her arranged at the breast. I remember once having to stop in the dairy isle at the grocery store to nurse sitting on the edge of the display. She was in one of her 1st growth spurts and I was completely unprepared for her need-to-nurse-NOW frantics. I thought I would get negative comments or looks because I was blocking access to yogurt, but it was all smiles and people comfortably and respectfully reaching around me to get what they needed.
Then there was the time I was waiting in line at the post office and my 6 month old woke up hungry. She was nursing quite loudly (gulping and smacking) and behind me came a sweet voice of an older woman who quietly said "You never forget that sweet sound. I still remember feeding my little ones." Then someone else offered me a chair and they all kept my place in line while I sat and fed my baby.
I once asked my FIL if it bothered him, and he said he'd grown up in a farming community, and seen women plop down in the middle of the field to nurse, and that didn't bother him.
Oh, and once when I was nursing at my (other) grandmother's church, I got lots of smiles and positive comments about it being nice to see a baby in church.
I've never had a problem at 9 months and I've nursed in coffeeshops, pubs, restaurants, festivals, parks, a cross-country meet, on an AmTrak, and at a meeting with colleagues. I covered when she was smaller, but now I usually nurse uncovered. My friends who nurse uncovered and a friend who is nursing her large 2 year old (he looks more like a 3yo) have also never had any problems. Not even odd looks. We're in a mid-sized city with a mix of conservative and liberal politics, so we're not in a liberal/AP mecca or something. Pretty average community.
Beautiful baby girl born 8/13/2012. Little star baby lost at 10 weeks pregnant, 12/18/2013. Rainbow baby girl born 12/22/2014.
I NIP for 6 years (2 kids) and never had any problems. I occasionally got startled looks, but those were usually because we were doing something that isn't often seen in public (toddler nursing positions, etc...), and of course, some people were obviously having troubles figuring out where to point their eyes, and occasionally some guy would make a commend about being jealous, but nobody ever hassled us. I know my rights and my kids' rights, and have no qualms about defending them, so I might have been giving off a "don't bother hassling me, you'll never win that argument" vibe.
That's disgusting. I would not appreciate a total stranger implying that he wanted to suck on my breast, much less implying that feeding my child was somehow sexual.
No negative comments or looks NIP either (4 years and going), and my babes would never tolerate a cover. I once had to sit and nurse on a display couch for sale at Costco because the snack seating area was completely full....only smiles from everyone that passed, including those considering purchasing it looking more closely.
Mama to F (3/09) and S (3/11); and never forgetting my babe gone too soon (4/10).
What a great thread!
I'm on baby #2 and a total of 2 1/2 years of BFing. I've BFed in several different states, private places, public places, covered up and really exposed. With our first child, I tended to be a bit more modest and used a blanket or something while nursing in public. Now with our second, I don't really have that luxury (plus I don't have the desire to cover myself). Just last month, I had my entire boob out while nursing our 3 month old. We were sitting on the beach in FL. A woman walked all the way over to our blanket just to comment on how sweet our daughter was.
So I've had lots of good experiences; never had a negative one!
I never had an issue. Over time I realized that it feels like a much bigger issue to you than it is to anybody else.
I never had a problem nursing in public, but a lot of people have been supportive. The very first time I nursed in public, I was out at a restaurant with my parents and newborn. My mom urged me to nurse my son in the booth and said no one would even notice or be able to see anything. I've had a lot of strangers be sweet to me. One time, flying home to see my family with my 12 month old, we had a hellishly delayed flight layover. I was sitting in the terminal nursing my son, and a middle aged lady walked up to me, smiled, and handed me a bottle of water (since nursing makes you thirsty). I've always thought that was just the sweetest way to quietly support a nursing mom.
Oh, also, I took my baby to work with me for six months. It was a small, tight-knit office. One time, one of my coworkers said, "Hey, that baby's head is blocking my view." (In retrospect, I know that sounds inappropriate, but we were good friends and it was hilarious at the time.)

Momma-ing the Muffin since October 2011!
nope, none. But my in-laws have been sitting next to me and not even known we brought the baby.
Being modest about it works wonders. And for the family members that I know its going to tick off, I leave the area ad find a less controversial corner to snuggle my bub. Maybe one day it can't be helped, but so far that's not today. :)

just to comment about the comments a man can make: '' I wish I could switch places with the baby''....I don't find it a negative comment.
to me, it doesn,t imply that breastfeeding is sexual. I can understand that it can be inappropriate for a stranger to declare that he wants to suck on my breast....but to me, it doesn't sound that way. I would interpret this comment like: ''your baby looks so well snuggled against your breasts, I wish I could experience the same feeling''....and who could blame them!

Yes! And I also think some guys who have said similar things to me were mostly just in awe of what my body can do, and were trying to compliment me in their own awkward, foot-in-mouth way. Even when the words coming out of their mouths were easily interpreted as inappropriate, the body language was generally positive and complimentary.
My dd is 2 and I don't think I've ever had anyone be even the least bit negative. I have been surprised many times by strangers going out of their way to say super supportive things about extended breastfeeding!
I do it on the subway. Folks are squished up against me but I do it anyway. The carrier largely covers what's left to be seen, so they only catch glimpses of the good stuff when my 11.5 month old pops off to babble something loudly...which these days he does often. Folks are fine about it; on the very rare occasion someone harrumphs and turns away pointedly (always a middle-aged woman, btw), but it's all good. I've had an elderly man tell me what I was doing was beautiful, and I've had other women smile at me with a look in their eyes that tells me they miss the days of BFing...it's sweet.
Be well.
Never. Not a single time. But, I did have LOTS of positive comments, even when bf toddlers in public. :-)
I never had any real problems nursing in public either, with 4 years of nursing so far. I don't cover, I just use tanks so no one sees anything anyway. There was one time I was visiting a new church, and the nursery paged me. I nursed my baby in the empty hallway, and during that time I had two people stop and tell me where the nursing room was. I just smiled and thanked them, and stayed where I was sitting. Then there was this one old guy that glared at me with a giant scowl while I was walking while nursing my toddler at the mall. That's pretty much it. I had more positive comments than anything else. I even had a lady who worked the WIC office come up and thank me for nursing in public while I was at the mall.
Mom to two boys, ages 8 and 11, and one blessing due May 8th.

From the article: First Postpartum Period
Having had a baby, you've not had a period or menstrual cycle for over nine months. The sad part for many is that this time frame comes to an end and your periods return. When this happens varies widely from six weeks to well over a year. This is partially due to whether you had a vaginal birth or cesarean birth and whether or not you are breastfeeding. When did you start your period? Were you breastfeeding? Did you have a previous experience that was similar? How was your baby born?
About 2 months
- I had a vaginal birth and stopped breastfeeding when he was a week old. So my period started about 2 months after the baby was born. I know it was different than the bleeding I had after baby. That stopped about 4 weeks after birth and wasn't red when it stopped. I had almost a month between the end of that and my first period which was slightly heavier at first and red again. My mom kept trying to tell me that it was just the bleeding after birth, but it came every 29 days...
- —Guest Jake's Mom
Just after I quit nursing...
- Both times my period returned within 2 months of stopping breastfeeding. With baby #1 I stopped breastfeeding at 3 months and my period returned at about 5 months. After my second baby I breastfed longer and stopped at about 13 months. So then my period returned just shy of 16 months after his birth - that was almost 2 years period free. YAY!

Typical. You spend an age longing for more exciting female electronic artists and then three come along at once. Joining the likes of Fever Ray, Zola Jesus, Nite Jewel and Julia Holter in a burgeoning pantheon is Claire "Grimes" Boucher, based in Montreal. Her third album is a beguiling decoction of pretty much everything going on in hipster musical circles, sweet and savvy and scary at the same time. At heart, these 13 tracks are deconstructions of pop and R&B, glazed by Boucher's girly vocals and touched by both the hazy nostalgia of chillwave and the shivers of witch house. "Oblivion" is an obvious standout, even as it recalls 80s lightweight Tiffany; "Colour of Moonlight" betrays sound knowledge of Prince.

Orlando HotelsThe world's undisputed theme park heavyweight, Orlando is synonymous with fun-filled family vacations. From the white knuckle thrills of Universal Studios Orlando, to the infectious magic of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, there's something to keep every fun-seeker young at heart. Look past the roller coasters and whimsical characters however, and you'll find Orlando's more sedate side - where world-class golf, top notch museums, and idyllic nature parks all come with a dose of Florida's year-round sunshine.Things to seeAn enchanting day out for kids and grown-ups alike, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom brings together the brand's best loved fairytales and their stars. Centered on the iconic Cinderella Castle, the park boasts rides for all ages, character meet-and-greets, and the famously fantastical parade. Universal Studios Florida throws visitors right into their favorite blockbusters. Along with film-themed adrenaline rides, shows and attractions, film buffs can stroll through movie magic-made recreations of Hollywood, New York, and San Francisco. Next door, Universal's Islands of Adventure offers yet more heavily themed thrills and spills, whether you want to brave Jurassic Park or scrub up on your wingardium leviosa at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. SeaWorld Orlando is another park you'll want firmly on your itinerary. Taking guests on an educational journey through the marine world, the enormous park is home to themed aquariums where you'll see everything from docile manatees, to sinister looking sharks.Hotels in OrlandoThe vacation hotspot of the Sunshine State, the choice of hotels in Orlando is unsurprisingly endless. Those with a 5-star budget will find themselves in the lap of Floridian-style luxury, with resorts that feature pro golf courses, swanky restaurants, and shimmering swimming pools set within tropical grounds. Themed or un-themed, the mid-range accommodation aims to please too, with stacks of amenities, whilst rental villas are preferable option for those seeking a cushy home from home. If you want something a little cheaper however, there's no shortage of budget-friendly hotels in Orlando too – both in and out of the resorts.Where to stayFor families with young kids, staying within Walt Disney World is almost a no-brainer. The 30,000 acre site boasts an array of themed resorts and hotels, alongside parks including the Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Epcot. If that wasn't enough the complex also features 2 waterparks, as well as Downtown Disney – a buzzing hub of live entertainment, bars, restaurants, and shops. If you'd prefer to de-Disney after an action-packed day, then International Drive is home to plenty more accommodation options. What's more, it's also home to Universal Studios Florida, SeaWorld Orlando, and the Wet'n Wild water park.How to get to OrlandoServing destinations throughout the United States and Europe, Orlando International Airport is likely to be the first port of call for airborne vacationers. Once you've landed getting to your accommodation should be a breeze, with numerous bus services making stops at all the major resorts and hotels. If you don't fancy using public transport during your stay however, you can always rent a car from one of the many companies located on-site at the airport. If you're already stateside and looking to travel on a budget, Orlando is also home to an Amtrak Station, connecting it to much of America.

A New Sensory Education | Karisma Hotels & Resorts Partners With Kendall-Jackson
Susan Kime
Staff Journalist/Luxury Lifestyle Expert |
Photo Credit:Susan Kime/Kendall-Jackson/Karisma Hotels
Usually, food and wine events are dazzling displays of culinary artistry and abilityevents where theory and practice become one. And, paired with great wine, these events create sensual reciprocities of taste, texture, and color; one taste working with others, often creating a savory taste synergy, called Umamia kind of taste perfectiona word coined by the Japanese. But rarely do food and wine events define these things, PLUS a dual brand evolution of both hotel and wine. Yet this event, The first
Jackson Family Wine Culinary Series, by Karisma
, did all three.
Karisma, a high-end international hotel brand owning a collection of eleven Gourmet Inclusive properties in Mexico and Jamaica recently announced a strategic partnership with Jackson Family Wines, creators of the Kendall-Jackson wine brand, among others. Jackson Family Wines is the parent company of Kendall-Jackson, La Crema, Murphy-Goode, Stonestreet, Matanzas Creek, Freemark Abbey, Byron, Verite, Lokoya, La Jota, Edmeades, Cambria, Carmel Road and others.
This Karisma/Jackson Family Wines partnership will generate special events that include vertical tastings of many rare Private Reserve Kendall-Jackson wines, educational classes with sommeliers and winemakers, cooking courses, and an exclusive Guest Chef and Winemaker Dinner. Furthermore, Karisma Hotels & Resorts is hosting
The Jackson Family Wines Culinary Series,
a monthly wine and food program spotlighting top chefs and winemasters from around the world. I was a happy participant in the first program of this series, held January 7-11 at the El Dorado Royale Spa Resort on the Riviera Maya.
During our week of the first
Jackson Family Wines Culinary Series
, Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates Executive Chef Justin Wangler and veteran Kendall-Jackson Winemaster Randy Ullom hosted the events at Karismas El Dorado Royale Spa Resort. The guests saw and experienced the creation of some exceptional dishes with some exceptional wines. The taste experience was equal to the educational one, a true edu/epicurean Umami experience.
At the El Dorado Royale Spa Resort are many exceptional venues where these events took place. First, and arguable the most spectacular, is the Fuentes Culinary Theatre, a large, open air, 90-foot-high thatched roof restaurant that holds, as a guesstimate, between 200 to 250 people. Because of the multiple flat screen TVs placed above the eating areas, and the five open kitchen areas, the audience could easily see and participate in the productions of chef and winemaker, in this case, Chef Wangler and Randy Ullom.
Susan Kime
The first course, freshly caught Snook cured in lemon juice with red radish, cilantro and Chardonnay oil, paired with Kendall-Jackson Avant Chardonnay 2010; second course was Tsar Nikouali California Caviar and sweet potato panna cotta paired with Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Chardonnay Monterey 2010; third course was red wine pasta, homemade lamb sausages and broccoli di ciccio paired with Kendall-Jackson Highland Estates Pinot Noir, Arroyo Seco 2006; fourth course was slow roasted beef filet and braised oxtail with
hoja santa
(meaning sacred leaf; a large leaf that, when cooked has a peppery, anise taste) and chayote squash pickled in local hibiscus, paired with Kendall-Jackson Stature Napa Valley 2006. Finally, the fifth course was a tropical fruit medley with ice cream made with Meyer lemon olive oil. That pairing was with a late Harvest Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay 2007.
The second culinary venue was Los Tucanes Bar, near both the ocean and pool, where Chef Wangler introduced lunch to the group with Pinot Noir Sangria smoothies made with pomegranate molasses, Point Noir VerJus, and KJ Pinot Noir. Then, three more courses were prepared by Chef Wangler and his team.
Those who ate lunch here could see the preparation in the demonstration kitchen, or from further away, as the large mirrors above the gas burners and prep tables reflected the chefs preparing grilled lobster, Green papaya and basil salad, and coconut sorbet with vanilla passion fruit sauce and lime meringue. The papayas and coconuts were from the trees on property and the basil and passion fruit were from the greenhouse. The wine pairings included Private Select Sauvignon Blancs, Chardonnays, both Private Select and Late Harvest.
In observing all the food preparation, discussion of the food sourcing, the wine pouring, and pairing, I was aware of a deeper ideological tie that binds both brands together. It deals with a subject I wrote about a few months earlier for JustLuxe: food authenticity and transparency. The El Dorado Royale Spa Resort is home to a 100,000-square-feet greenhouse, the Riviera Mayas only facility of this magnitude, which produces 120 tons of crops and provides fresh produce to the resort as well as to its group of sister properties.
Susan Kime
The vegetables, tomatoes of all kinds, peppers, including the docile green peppers, and the fiery habaneros, cucumbers, herbs of all types, and many other fruits and vegetables are grown here and picked daily. Papaya trees full of this fruit dot the premises as well. The Jackson Family Wines also have a major commitment to eco-sensitive planting and harvesting techniques, so the tie between these two brands defines a type of emerging food authenticity as well as an eco-sensitive awareness of how to plant, grow and harvest their products. This awareness seems more than a passing trendit is becoming a preferred way of pairing the best of both the culinary and viticulture worlds for the good of the person and of the planet.
Susan Kime
This philosophy that ties the brands also implies the relevance of time, place and season in defining food selection and preparation. These ideas came to a primary focus during our stay, and a great highlight of this event was the dinner honoring Chef Rene Redzepi of the world famous restaurant NOMA in Copenhagen, Denmark. Chef Redzepi is not yet a common household name in the United States, but he is very well known internationally as his food and preparations have unlocked the tastes of many. NOMA, his two-Michelin star and #1 Restaurant in the world two years in a row, is well known in Mexico.
Susan Kime
I have written about Rene before and his organic, innovative methods of food choice and preparation. He is a forager, using flowers, plants, live shrimp, and roots he forages daily. It was no shock then, when the first part of our dinner was the starter: a small pod filled with fresh Mezcal, and along side, were dried Mezcal worm larvae and sour orange wedge topped with mild red pepper (I had tried these dried larvae before, and knew they tasted like mildly salted nuts). After these, the menu, though wildly varied, was still very
foragiste Redzepian,
with wine pairings from Matanzas Creek and Kendall-Jackson, complimenting these unique menu itemsthe first course including sea urchin and a soup topped with barnacles and algae. Then, escamoles were served, (ant larvae or insect caviar) a dish native to Central Mexico, once considered a delicacy by the Aztecs. Insect caviar was served with epazotes (herbal leaves) with onion, garlic, chili pepper and butter.
Susan Kime
Then courses included smoked pork belly with black beans and avocado leaves, black cod prepared in the Tikin Xic style (marinated whole then cooked in Banana leaves), then Venison in Chirmole. Chirmole is a black Mayan paste made from Ancho peppers, cumin, Achiote and other spicy ingredients. The dessert was a mélange of Mexican bitter and sweet chocolate designs with Papantla Vanilla ice cream. Papantla is a town in the Vera Cruz, Mexico that is the vanilla producing capital of Mexico. As could be seen from this menu, a lot of thought had gone into the preparations they are native, organic, authentic and many ingredients that a forager could find on an outing.
The pricing of
The Jackson Family Wines Culinary Series, by Karisma
is an additional $300 for the weeklong program at El Dorado Royale; a la carte rates for wines and ad hoc wine and culinary experiences at the entire collection of Karisma Hotels & Resorts start at $35.
In the next few months, other confirmed participants include Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates Chef & Cheese Specialist Tracey Shepos Cenami in February; more than a dozen renowned chefs and sommeliers as a part of the Cancun Wine & Food Festival in March; Mark and Terri Stark in April; and Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates Chef & Contemporary Cuisine Specialist Eric Frischkorn in May.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Two people were injured in a wrong-way crash on I-77 early Monday morning.
The accident happened around 12:30 a.m. on I-77 south near Tyvola Road.
Authorities said a driver drove their vehicle the wrong-way on I-77 and caused the accident.

Pier goes way out into ocean, way back in history
Among his workers' ongoing tasks are picking up trash, cleaning bird droppings and fish scales, and replacing sections of the pier's wooden decking. Last year, crews also replaced a number of metal braces that provide stability to the pier. Annual maintenance costs total $228,000, Quan said.
Along with its ocean views, strolling space and fishing opportunities, the pier is a haven for nature lovers. One regular is Charlie the pelican, whose distinctive red beak makes him easy to spot at his hangout near the bait shop, midway on the pier.
Paul Aberle, a bait-shop employee, said pier visitors are often treated to views of dolphins, seals and the occasional gray whale during migration season.
On busy days when seals are hanging around the pilings, "people buy a bag of anchovies and feed them like they're at Sea World," Aberle said.
Oceanside residents Donna and Jon Zuber said they enjoy coming out to the Oceanside Pier on Sunday mornings, ordering pancakes and eggs "to go" from the diner, and eating breakfast in their deck chairs while casting their lines.
"It beats watching TV," Jon Zuber said.
Joe Tash is a freelance writer from Oceanside.

tweaks/cabs not taking?

I've tried a couple tweaks such as the startmenu 4 grid and awesome start.cab. When I install them I install the .cab to "my storage". The device reboots, but I can't see any changes. I have the samsung touchwiz UI unchecked if that makes a difference. The only thing I have noticed is with the touchwiz unchecked the start menu on the today screen is unresponsive. Any tips or point me in the right direction please.
Not sure what awesome start cab is, but the menu (winmo menu, I presume) needs to be installed to the device.

OK thanks. Is there a general rule of thumb as to what has to be installed to the device vs. my storage/card?
Well, anything that's modifying existing files that are already installed to the device. I'm sure there are other instances, but other folks here know far more about it than I do.

chainplate and rigging col29
Hello, I have a columbia 29 and I think it's about time she gets her rigging changed. The issue is that she has glassed in chainplates. It was fine for the last season but I realized that I don't like it at all as there is no way to inspect them and I have paranoiac tendencies. So I was thinking that I should look into that too.
Has anyone done a modification to move them outboard or glassed in knees for that purpose?
Am I looking at a huge price for that work?
In SF, I mainly sail on a 90% jib and I was actually toying with the idea of adding a club to the jib. So outboard fittings would probably not affect me much in terms of performances. Adding to that is also the fact that the chainplates are already pretty close to the edge. I'm mainly worried about cost (provided that any retained solution would be adequately robust). Would I need to have my spreader changed too?
Finally, any rigger recommended for this type of work on the SF bay? I was thinking of going to KKMI.

Upgrade advice please help?

Posted July 14, 2011 at 8:52PM
My desktop is about 6 years old and recently the video card died. I am running windows 7 and my spec is:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Processor
1024MB DDR400 RAM (PC3200) Memory
200GB Serial ATA (150Mb/s) Ultra Fast Hard Drive
128MB nVIDIA GeForce 6600 - PCI Express
I don't know much about computer hardware as in what would be compatable or what fitment type I need. Therefore any advice or ideally a recommended make/model of video card would be much appreciated? Also if I wanted to upgrade my RAM at the same time what fitment/type would I need?
Thanks Dave

I would say you need a memory upgrade to run window 7, if you are using the 32 bit version add 2gb and if using the 64 bit add 4gb of the best memory you can afford.
You may find a card to suit at EBAY. link text

Try Crucial.com for memory. Run their scanner it will tell you what you need. You can order it from them at the same time. I have found them very relilable.

Thanks for your replies.
I took my video card to local PC World. They sold me a PNY GeForce 8400 GS 512MB DDR2 but when i went to install the card I realised they had put a different card in the dispay box. Written on the card is Geforce 210. Is the card they've given me better or worse as im not sure whether to take it back?
Terry - I am running 32 bit windows 7.
Devil Fish - Im a PS3 gamer, my desktop is just purely used for spreadsheets, emails, internet browsing etc. but since upgrading to windows 7 my RAM is nearly constantly maxed out.
Earlr - I tried the scanner but it couldn't recognise my computer details. But it came up with several options for DDR400 PC3200 memory. Bufferred, Registered, EEC, non-ECC. Do you know what any of this means? If so which should I get?
Thank you

Concerning the RAM (can't answer other Q's):
Try SIW to see what RAM you have.
I have a Compaq Desktop (SR1619) about same age as your PC. It's an AMD 64 3200+. I upgraded it from 512MB by adding an extra 2x1GB (Crucial scanner told me what and then I bought from amazon)
It is also now running W7 64 and it's not too bad for general use. Depends on your 'impatience threshold'. I am not sure that buying an extra 4GB for yours would be much benefit compared to an extra 2GB. Unless you keep loads of apps and tabs and stuff open at same time.
Mainly I use it now for printing and recording TV because I have a 18 month old laptop which I prefer for main use.

The motherboard should have a AGP slot for the Graphics card as you say its about 6 years old you need to post motherboard model
If you do not have a Motherboard Manual, it should be on the motherboard in White Test and Numbers

Here is a comparison of the two cards, the 210 is newer and consumes less power. But the 8400 has slightly better performance.

Hi All
Robinofloxley - I dont use lots of apps at the same time so im sure 2x1GB should be sufficient. Do you know whether I need Registered ECC, Unbuffered ECC, Unbuffered NON-ECC, Unbuffered Non-parity as Crucial gives all those options?
Woodchip - Sorry im not sure if you understood my post. My original video card was 128MB nVIDIA GeForce 6600. This recently broke and I bought a PNY GeForce 8400 GS 512MB DDR2 however in the box the actual video card was a GeForce G210. So basically im asking if i have been given a better card then I will keep it, but if its worse then what I paid for then I will take it back.
Chub_tor - Thanks for the comparison, thats just what i was looking for but the card ive got is a G210 not a GT 210.

Don't know sorry. Whatever SIW identified, then Google the part no. of the RAM for fuller spec. Unless anyone knows off the top of their head.

Too much sugar too little fruit
So I should have read the ingredients properly, 20% sugar and only .5 % Apple and .5 % Blueberry for a total fruit content of 1/ 3 of a gram !! Ridiculous
12 August 2012
A great breakfast for children. My litle boy loves it. He's had this from 12 months old.No need to add sugar and with added fruit it goes down really well! A great product!

best porridge
I eat this every day for breakfast, it's very tasty and fills me up. It's not too sweet like the golden syrup and you can eat this without adding sugar. A great product and even better when on offer.

I was skeptical about the shoes because I've had trouble fitting into online purchaces- but I tried them on as soon as they came and they fit perfectly. I wear 9.5-10, got these at a 10 and they fit well. I love the high-top boot style as I value ankle support. These are also fairly stylin' and look great under the cuff of some blue jeans. Tread feels nice and sturdy too and would probably do well as approach boots.
