CA Country Girl, did they give you a reduced load or anything for the fall semester? That stinks to have to go back so soon. Also, thanks for chiming in on the cramping. It's been really weird since last week I barely felt pregnant at all and this week I get hit with a load of heaviness, pelvic pain, back pain, and crazy cramping. I guess that's what happens at 39 weeks. Exciting but frustrating.
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.
Oh, Bootsie, I so feel your pain. I slept poorly toward the end of my pregnancy, and I am so sleep deprived at this point that I don't think I'll ever catch up.
LilyTiger, I can't believe you're due in six days! Wow! I also felt pretty good until week 39 or 40(it's all a blur now), at which point I started to feel REALLY pregnant. Luckily, it won't be much longer!
Andaluza, except for a few Braxton-Hicks around 28 weeks, I had no contractions before going into labor. At the time, I desperately wanted a sign that my body was gearing up for the birth, but in retrospect, I was lucky.
CountryGirl, they change so fast! I was rocking Cara this afternoon, just looking at her little face and thinking about how much she's changed in the last month and I started crying. I'm sure each phase of childhood is special, but part of me wants her to stay tiny forever. Good luck getting ready for fall semester!
Erica, glad you were spared this week. Take advantage of that nesting energy! I totally did not experience that until right before I went into labor. Too little too late!
Sending easy labor vibes to all of our soon-to-be mamas!
Just because I want to share, here is a picture of Cara sucking my finger - I think she was three weeks old in this photo:
And here she is a couple of days ago (at four weeks old), conducting orchestras in her sleep:
Cara!!!!! Strike a pose!
Just saying in my DDC, worst fear is to go into labor with this big of a sleep deficit, it will not be pretty. I was so excited for the sleep I got last night but I'm EXHAUSTED.
Having weird low cramps right now, and it's raining, which is always surreal around here.
Going to attempt a nap. I feel like I've worked about 10 days in a row, not two.
Oh and HEY, I don't know who has been around this long besides me and Caly, but I heard from our old friend Taxlady a few days ago. She's doing well and staying positive. That was such a nice surprise.
Also, while I'm just randomly posting crap, I want to add my willing MDC friends on facebook, I think it will be easier to not keep up everywhere once the baby is born but in reality I probably will still be around both. It's also an excuse because I think it allows for maximum baby picture access. ;) So add me if you want! Try to tell me who you are, I just added a bunch of people from my DDC and I'm so confused.
Last random note, I'm still looking for a THREADKEEPER for the AUGUST/SEPT time slot...All you have to do is copy and paste the first post and start a new thread, then keep it updated with any births, new members, etc. I promise it's not hard :)
oh yeah doc appointment tomorrow...

Boots- I'll thread keep the fall thread- guess it is my turn- it seems there are very few Bajongos behind me but I'll drop a not on the TTC groups as an invite to join us over here.- I was cracking up at your earlier post because I was eating my 3rd glass of ice for the day- and I totally know what you mean by stinky ice- When I want to my MIL's house in NM - she had stink ice and I was so mad because it was so hot and all I wanted to do was sit in a bathing suit and eat ice- so I had my dh get me soda ice from the gas station, then I ate it in 2 seconds- my method is I have those silicone trays- I only have two- I use filtered water, and just refill refill refill. - On the constipation thing- I take floradix - kind of pricey- and when I eat my ice - I fill my glass half full of cherry juice and sparkling water - several a day- seems to keep the iron from stopping me up.
Caly- Cara is a beauty- it inspires me to see those baby pics- LOVE!!
CACountry- wow summer really flew by- hope you find some time for your work!
Hope everyone else is doing great-
my September baby Augustus
Sparrows, thanks! It will be kind of quiet over here during the fall, hopefully you'll start to get a new round of BFPs from the TTC thread soon! I have noticed more people joining over there. The good thing is that you might just be able to keep the same thread for several months.
I am so glad you and Erica understand about my ice craziness! Before pregnancy, I ate some crushed ice (from our icemaker) but NOTHING like this. Some sources on the internet say it's a form of pagophagia or pica, "eating non nutritive substances" I'm like BS! Ice is water, I will die without water! :)
Since this afternoon, SO much lower abdominal pressure. Maybe HB has dropped? I don't know. I also read somewhere that first-time mom's babies usually don't drop until labor? True or not? Still the off chance it's a digestive thing but I think not. Maybe my doc will have some insight. Definitely taking the spare yoga ball to work tomorrow.

Update from doc appointment: Cervix is the same (1 cm, 10% effaced) after a whole week, damn! Fundal height measuring 40, she's getting a bit concerned about his size, so we're having an ultrasound Friday, a membrane sweep Monday, and we'll discuss our options then. I really don't want to induce on an unripe cervix, esp at 39 weeks...Guess we'll see, doc admits she knows u/s size estimates can be off a lot.
Edited; ultrasound is actually tomorrow afternoon. Done a bit of research abut shoulder dystocia which was mentioned to me as a concern, it seems the risk is minimal (2.5 % of births MAX).
Huz and I talked, we are expecting to hear he is big, but if he has been gaining 1/2 lb a week he should be about 9 now based on last U/S. Big but really not HUGE in our opinion, especially if estimate is off, we could maybe push to wait until Monday 8/13 for induction. Technically we don't HAVE to induce (according to hospital policy) until two weeks from tomorrow, but I think by then my doc might have actually pushed it.

Woke up and pretty sure my water broke/leaked (didn't seem like all of it) and some bloody show.
We have been packing our overnight bag and I'm going to eat something, then we're off to L&D.
Please any of you on FB don't post anything over there, we don't want to alert anyone if it's a false alarm.
Thinking if water broke and cervix looks the same as yesterday, I'm basically going in for an induction with gel, pitocin, etc.
Guess we won't be making that 345 ultrasound!

boots, I think you are DEFINITELY close... I had something that I thought was water leaking, then bloody show a few days later, and Evelyn was here within 36 hours of that. Best of luck. Thinking of you!

He wouldn't be Honey Badger if he came without a false alarm!
Lily- I have kind of a reduced schedule since I choose how many units I teach. I have 2 intro classes T/Th, both of which I have taught before, and some hours in the writing center. On M/W I have one Upper Div class I teach every semester (Women and Culture). so the lecture prep will not be that bad, but I still have to read all the papers.
boots- he'll come soon. Can't wait to hear about it.
Caly-Cara's so cute. These girls are a month old- amazing.
Scowgirl- pics of Evelyn?
Everyone else-hugs for now!

Boots, glad to hear of progress, even if it was a false alarm. Good to hear from taxlady.

scowgirl, that is good to know! I will hold on to that hope... Here's the story of the false alarm x-posted from the August DDC.
Thanks everyone. It has been a long day. I didn't go to sleep until 3 a.m.and I was like a zombie walking back and forth to the yoga ball to ease discomfort/contractions. Then I woke up at 5:30 and felt a gush of something, the front of my underwear was soaking wet and there was watery bloody mucous.
We didn't leave for the hospital until two hours, we had to pack! We had a list but it took awhile, we ate and then we left. My back hurt pretty bad but no real contractions, not even what I had been thinking were BH.
Anyway, at L&D they test two ways for amniotic fluid and found none, HB was sounding good and kicking the monitors and stuff. She checked me (which didn't hurt much this time) and I was still at 1 cm but more like 50% effaced instead of the 10% from yesterday. My BP and vitals were good. So they sent us home.
When I got home I had another gush of watery pink mucous. I swear it's the wateriest "mucous plug" in the world, I had been reading people say it would be like a gummy bear!
I took a nap but not too much of one this afternoon. Then we had to go for the ultrasound to check his growth. He is measuring 93%, 8lbs 14 oz. We had to wait forever for the U/S and I started swelling like crazy. The tech said since he's "so big" she wanted to talk to their doctor, and we had to wait more. My next doc appointment is Monday so they finally released us saying that they were calling my doc right then with the results. Ugh. I don't feel like all that fuss was warranted, but whatever.
The other thing is that I called my work on the way to the hospital and told the secretary to please pass on what was happening. She apparently didn't and at noon I got a text from a coworker that my principal was mad and looking for me, wondering if we'd be ready for the sub on Monday, etc. WTF. I am angry about the whole situation because I found someone to sub for me LAST year but my principal has been waffling about calling him (because he thinks he can get someone "better") and now it's Thursday and school starts Monday. I didn't really feel like I could call the original sub myself because my principal wanted to offer the damn job to someone else and it's not like I have that authority!
UGH. I know I should wash my hands of the whole thing but I only made it to work three days out of the five I was planning to work and get paid for. I could maybe go in tomorrow but I am just feeling SO angry right now.
I hope that's my sign of labor impending because I definitely don't have any nesting/cleaning instincts, I just want to cry or punch someone. Unless I go into labor in the next three days I am still facing deciding about induction and all the "big baby" talk and I just don't want to deal with it.

Boots, YOU ARE 39 WEEKS PREGNANT! They're lucky you showed up for work at all this week! Stay home and rest and screw the principal. You did your due diligence!
My parents are arriving this afternoon to meet their granddaughter! She's five weeks old today. DH is leaving for Alaska on Sunday. Thankfully, my mom will be staying until he gets back (8/23), but I'm a little worried about doing all of the nighttime parenting without help. We've been taking shifts at night, and I somehow don't think my mom is going to be up for that.
I'll only have a couple weeks of maternity leave remaining when he gets back, so we're going to have to get her enrolled in daycare. The thought of it is just horrifying right now. I can't imagine not seeing her all day long and leaving her in the care of people I don't really know.
Boots: I totally agree with Caly!! They are lucky you're even THINKING of showing up. Eff them. You do whatever is exactly best for you and HB. I am on the verge of stabbing people with scissors at work right now... and I'm not even 39 weeks! I give you a lot of credit for being able to handle all that you have without going postal. You are seriouslyyyy almost there, and will be holding your little (possibly big. Lol) squishy!
AFM: Not much, but I like I said above to Boots... I'm totally getting cranky and short tempered and whiny and ridiculous. I'm not miserably uncomfortable (yet?) but I am uncomfy and just tired and SO OVER WORKING. They fired my old boss who I loved and worked with for like 6 years... and hired this new MORON and I want to kill, kill, KILL! He asked me where the "enter" button was the other day. @#%#&$%&%@%@#@#$^%$#!!!!!!!! And how to email himself. I find it impossible to not talk to him like a 2 year old. Please don't let me stab my new boss with scissors. I hate him and his face right now.

Oh, erica and Boots! How I love you both. I think anger and homicidal thoughts should be added to the list of late pregnancy symptoms. I'm much more relaxed today than I was yesterday, but I seriously could have stabbed the nearest person. Fortunately, no one came near me the entire day except the dogs. They got a few angry looks, but stabbing innocent dogs is not ok so they were safe. I also had a glass of wine with dinner, which totally mellowed me out. Sorry, little Fetus. You'll just have to deal.
Erica, how much time do you have left at work? Also, I just made an easy diaper cream with just coconut oil and essential oil for the cloth diaper butt that's coming soon. I thought of you because of the FB CD forum. Man, those ladies LOVE their cloth diapers.
Caly, I still can't handle how cute she is! I'm sorry you have to deal with the daycare decision. Super tough. Is there a daycare near your work so you could stop by? Are you planning to pump? I have to get a mini fridge for my office at some point. That sucks though all around. I'll have to leave the little one with someone for a day or two a week and it breaks my heart already. I hope you find a system that lets you stay close but still get back to work without dying inside.
In other obnoxiously stressful news, we just found out that DH forgot to pay his estimated tax this year as a contractor (actually, he didn't know he had to because it's his first year doing this) so now we pretty much couldn't afford any daycare (or anything else at all) even if we need it. Hopefully something works out. I have to call Monday and have them seriously jack up my withholding rate and then pray we don't get hit with serious penalties. I hate being an adult.
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 forgot to add:
Caly: Um, I feel you on the daycare. I'm beside myself at the THOUGHT and I haven't even met little miss yet... and we'll be leaving her with my MIL... which now... I'm hating the thought of cause I want to stab her too. So many ladies do it though... they say it's hard in the beginning and then you're okay. Here's hopin!
Lily: Hah! For real. Anger and homicidal thoughts should be on a freakin pamphlet letting you know this is normal. I keep thinking to myself, "You made it to 36 weeks without being a total psycho... you're good!" I also want to punch DH in the face because my b-day is on Monday and I had to order my own freaking bday present, make dinner reservations and invite my own family to my house for cake. Really dude? REALLY???? Kill. Soooooooo, I have a little less than 2 weeks left of work. Every single day now I'm on the verge of tears getting up out of bed. So not like me. Like I said, I'm just annoyed, aggitated, uncomfy, homicidal. Lol. I justtttttttt made myself a little container of coconut oil last night for my diaper bag! Haha! It was so hot outside, so I put my big jar outside to warm it into liquid and then dumped some in a smaller container. Smells heavenly. So what essential oils did you put in with it? I didn't know you could do that! I plan on making a cloth wipe solution with Dr. Bronner's castile soap (the unscented baby one), almond oil, tea tree oil, lavender oil, and water. I'm kinda excited about that cause it sounds yummy. Lol. I use almond oil on my face every night (and my body mixed in with my lotion during the day). I love that stuff!! Ooofaaaaaaaaaa about your hubs. I was supposed to change my tax witholding after I did my taxes this year to a higher rate and here it is August... and of course... I still haven't. Gah. I'll be claiming the baby though (hubby and I need to do our taxes separate because of his work) so hopefully that helps. WHY IS IT ONLY 1:59 AND WHY AM I NOT HOME COZY IN MY BED YET!!! So over working!!

Erica, I made that same cloth wipe solution this morning! Hilarious. I just used lavender in both, but I might check out the almond oil too. I was going to add tea tree oil to the coconut oil I made for myself, but I was worried about it being a little too strong for the bambino's (I don't want him/her "energized" when going down for a nap either!). I weirdly don't like the smell of coconut oil, so I'm trying to find an essential oil blend that I really like that will sort of mask the scent. But the cloth wipe solution was super easy and will hopefully save the li'l butt. Good luck on surviving the next two weeks! Or perhaps I should say good luck to your coworkers on surviving the next two weeks. Homicidal pregnant ladies are always an adventure.

Here are a few pics from our nursery. It's really small, so I was climbing on things to try to get a decent picture. But the yellow and grey (Aw yeah, Pewter Mug!) turned out nicely and very relaxing.

Cozart is actually having a pretty solid offensive year at Louisville (OPS around .750) and word is he is very good defensively. However, if he's not ready, I agree that Theriot would be a good guy to go after next year.
Unfortunately, too many see Stubbs hitting .240 and striking out a lot as a "bust" for a 1st rounder, which to me is unreasonable expectations.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
Take it private guys.

This is a roster full of players that simply knows how to win games. Individual stats with this team are almost meaningless. Cairo, Janish, etc. all have individual stats that leave MUCH to be desired, but they've also helped win some crucial games. This is a team in every sense of the word. Stubbs may go 0-20 and strike out 14 times, but late in a game with runners in scoring position, he'll drive in the winning runs.
Something magical is in the air with this team, and I think Redszone as a whole should let the last 10 years go, stop arguing about silly stuff, and enjoy this summer .
I'd really like to get a better understanding of how a knowledge of winning games is different than the knowledge required to play better baseball than your opponents. Is it something that doesn't show up elsewhere in a guy's performance and cannot be attributed to an improvement in those skills?
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I think he was mostly just trying to cast a positive vibe.
Blessed are the peacemakers and may their favorite teams rejoice in victory.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
According to hittrackeronline.com Stubbs HR's true distances yesterday were 417 on each of the pulled HR's and 407 on the one to right center. So no, none of the HR's were wind aided in order to leave the park.
Stubbs is showing more power than I expected. And again, the best sign by far was the ball he hit the other way. Once he starts going with the pitch instead of trying to pull everything, he will become a decent hitter perhaps. Add that with his solid defense (hopefully he becomes better near the wall) and speed and we might really have something here. Yes, I've been hard on him, but I am extremely fair when it comes to Reds players. Just try and tell it like it is. Wasn't very optimistic about Stubbs after studying his minor league numbers but he continues to improve and is still very young. And again, I like his maturity very much.

Everyone wants to be more environmentally conscious these days. There are many ways to protect the environment by changing some practices around the house. And making some changes in your kitchen is a great place to start. Your kitchen can be an eco-friendly place while still preserving the functionality and beauty of the space. Being kind to the environment is easy to do in the kitchen and will help you to do your part for the vitality of the world around us. Try these 6 eco-friendly ideas to protect the environment. They are simple ideas and ones you can really feel good about. Perhaps even make a green home?
Paper towels are a big waste of precious resources and the less you use them, the better. Anytime you can use a towel, rag, or sponge to clean up kitchen messes do so and you can save a lot of trees and free-up precious landfill space.
If you are in the market for new kitchen appliances, look for the Energy Star label. These products have been approved by the United State EPA and are usually 10 to 20 percent more efficient than other models. This cuts down on energy use and saves you money.
It is cheap and easy to switch out old, incandescent bulbs for more energy efficient CFLs (compact fluorescent lights). Consider installing a skylight for more natural light and leave blinds and drapes open to let in free sunlight.
There are many great new cleaning products on the market that are made with fewer chemicals and are easier on the environment. You can also use white vinegar as an affordable all-purpose cleaner that is free of chemicals and toxins.
Water bottles create a lot of plastic waste. By switching to drinking water from your refrigerator dispenser, or from a filter pitcher, you can help to cut down on a lot of waste.
Any plastic containers that food items come in can be used again as leftover holders or for other uses around the house. Instead of throwing out that plastic butter tub once you've used up all the butter, rinse out the container and use it to store the leftovers from dinner. You can also reuse bottles that kitchen soap comes in and can refill spray bottles for cleaning fruits and vegetables.
You can create a big impact on the environment just by using some or all of the above ways to protect the environment. All six are eco-friendly kitchen swaps and can help make a green home! You may also have interest in our article on how homeowners can Go Green during a kitchen remodeling project.
How can we help?
"Our kitchen hadn't been updated in decades…and I was sure that what I wanted was impossible. But Kitchen Solvers made it happen, and at a price I could afford. The remodeling process was a pleasure with Kitchen Solvers making things easy every step of the way. I still can't believe this is my kitchen! You were all so helpful.Count me in as one of your best satisfied customers. "

DENVER - JANUARY 03: Quarterback Matt Cassel #7 of the Kansas City Chiefs prepares to take a snap against the Denver Broncos during NFL action at Invesco Field at Mile High on January 3, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. The Chiefs defeated the Broncos 44-24. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Coming off a 10-day break, the Baltimore Ravens had a tough time getting into gear Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. But thanks to the giving ways of the home team, the Ravens moved to 4-1 on the season with a 9-6 victory in a game with plenty of turnovers and offensive yards but no touchdowns. Baltimore rookie kicker Justin Tucker made all three of his field-goal attempts, and that would be all the points Baltimore needed against the Chiefs (1-4). Kansas City came into the game as the NFL leader with 18 giveaways in four games. That's now 22 giveaways in five games after two interceptions by Matt Cassel and two lost fumbles. Cassel left the game early in the fourth quarter after taking a blow to the head. He did not return. Takeaways helped set up all three of Baltimore's field goals and continued a trend in which the Chiefs try to win while shooting themselves in the foot. Baltimore had two turnovers, but the Chiefs' answer...

I find myself actually debating whether to post fills as myself or anonymously. I just discovered there's a term for being keen on the hurt part of hurt/comfort--whump, it's called--and wayyyy too many of those prompts are appealing to me. I might want to write more than one of those. With, like, the same characters. And that's feeling a little embarassing. IT'S A KINKMEME FOR CRIPES' SAKES, WHY COY NOW.

Don Omar can't seem to stay out of trouble. The latest scandal involves and Argentinean sex worker who spent three nights with the reggaeton star.

As we continue to follow the saga of Jackie Guerrido and Don Omar's marriage, we came across this parody that a Puerto Rican composer recorded about their divorce called "Corned Beef." Its a silly little ditty about Don Omar getting angry that Jackie can't cook and having to eat the same thing every day, but it does raise some really interesting questions about machismo and how much the roles of wife and husband have changed since our parents got hitched.

Wisin (of Wisin Y Yandel) also had something to say about their fellow reggaeton star: "If he would just stop fighting with people and be more submissive to the public, then his career would be doing a lot better and he would be making double the amount of money he's making now."

From the beginning, the Colorado Mountain Club has worked to create, define and protect the Colorado experience. In 1912, CMC charter members Enos Mills and James Grafton Rogers worked tirelessly to designate the Estes Park Valley and beyond as Rocky Mountain National Park. Their success in 1915 marked the beginning of the CMC Conservation legacy and changed millions of lives. This is the very heart of the Club – a combination of experience, belief, and action.
Today, the CMC Conservation Department continues this tradition by promoting sustainable recreation, protecting wild lands, creating and maintaining access to Colorado's best places for recreation, and engaging in stewardship in the places that hold so much meaning for members.
Our work is unique in that it is bi-partisan, specific to Colorado, and leverages advocacy with results on the ground. Follow the links below to learn what we are planning for 2015 and beyond.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 11 October 2012 08:00AM
"The idea of getting a bunch of hipsters along for a 'nocturnal awakening' is a tired one in any case, but what really jars with this spot is the juxtaposition of wacky imagery with possibly the most ponderous voiceover ever. It comes off sounding like a planner's exposition of why everybody should co-create rather than an authentic call to arms for all the 'yearners' and whatever else this ad calls them."

The daydream princess
yes also i want to add... I was in the park yesterday and I went to Plaza Inn and noticed there was a table reserved for 6 people... now the reserved sign had a logo with mickey mouse and the castle with white clouds surrounding it... it was covered in a white table cloth and had blue cloth napkins... I looked at this and noticed that white and blue are part of the year of a million dreams colors... now this must be one of the prizes for the year of a million dreams... as there was 6 places at the table and it was the only table that stood out in the Plaza Inn... as all the others inside had no table cloths... i could imagine what that prize would be... Maybe a special feast for the lucky 6 people, possibly a free dinner at the Plaza Inn.... Or it could be something completely different! Thats all... now I gotta drive back to Phoenix since I have work tommorow... It has been fun... I should be hitting Disneyland again in January when they rock both parks!
Last Wednesday, my daughter and I walked through the Boudin Bakery in California adventure, while walking from Bugs Land to the Redwood Challenge Trail. As soon as they closed the doors they told us our group was one of two daily Dreams winners. At the end of the tour they gave each of us full size, Mickey shaped sourdough loafs. Very tasty!
Haven't been since 10/2 - so far no dreams come true for me. Going on Friday for my big 35th birthday - and sons first trip - so maybe some dreams will come true that day.
I could sure use something 'positive' and fun right now anyway....
^^Good Luck and Happy Birthday DD! Make sure you post some pics of that cute baby! They change so fast during that first year.
I've been a few times since TYOAMD started, but no prizes yet. Harumph.
Anyone remember the other anniversary years, when EVERYONE got a prize of some sort?!?
- Johnny
"Remember, no matter where you go, there you are." - BB
So, yesterday, dbc and I got ears from a lady who was handing them out. I got mine first and poor dbc got caught in the mob of people who had realized what was happening.
So, I stood off to the side, waiting for her, and ended up next to this Disneyland dude.
"You have to wear those ears now," he said.
"Oh, no, I'm already wearing ears," I said, guesting to my super cool Christmas Mickey Mouse ears.
"I'm sorry, but you have to wear these."
I just gave him a LOOK and T. came back and we left.
He was a bit RUDE about it!!
But I didn't wear the ears, though T. did.
i thought maybe he was so adamant about it because it was marketing - like to advertise - but later I realized it might be so we wouldn't get another pair, or another dream that day.
And yes, those reserved tables are part of the promo. We saw one over at the River Belle Terrace.
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
I got the dream fast pass today. The day there are no lines at all. Thanks.
We got nothin'
"Yesterday, a man walked up to me and said, 'Isn't it a shame that Walt Disney couldn't be here to see this?' and I said, "He did see this, that's why it's here."

When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.
This is one of the lamest in-park campaigns I've ever witnessed.
One of the things I can't stand about it is the fact that there is no randomness to it. You have to be picked by the merry group of "Dream-Come-Truer's". And even if you are one of the lucky soul who gets picked, they give out lame-o things like "Dream FastPasses". Big frickin' whoop!
During the 33th anniversary in 1988, they were giving out stuff at the gate for every certain number of people that went thru the gate. That was random, and it was fun. I got a "Blast To The Past" Duncan yo-yo which I still own.
MiceChat User #1037
I got a cold hamburger at Villiage Haus. Not the kind of dream I was hoping for.
I stayed at the Disneyland hotel a little bit ago and they were passing out the lanywards with two pins to everyone who walked by. Can't be unhappy to get something free.

One Direction's Liam Payne Breaks Up With Sophia Smith
One Direction's Liam Payne has reportedly broken up with girlfriend Sophia Smith according to Us Weekly.
One Direction's Liam Payne has reportedly broken up with girlfriend Sophia Smith according to Us Weekly.
One Direction's Where We Are Tour has been underway for only one week and already things are getting a little crazy. The band's fans got to experience 1D mania firsthand last Sunday (April 27) in Lima, Peru, where 47 fans had to be treated for asphyxiation. Yikes!
One Direction offered an inside look at their 'You and I' video shoot with 'Good Morning Britain,' sharing details about the shoot and concept, the song itself and their fans. At the end of the day, it always comes back to the Directioners.
When Chris Martin sat down with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe for his first interview since his split from Gwyneth Paltrow, we expected him to possibly touch on their "conscious uncoupling" (which he did, vaguely.) But what we didn't expect was for him to totally gush over One Direction.
Does Harry Styles have new ink on his body?
One Direction fans are a dedicated bunch. So much so that the Directioners camped outside of the stadium in Colombia recently to listen to and capture the boys as they soundchecked and rehearsed for their world tour. You can get a taste, too, thanks to their diligence.
One Direction is kicking off their 'Where We Are' world tour this Friday (April 25) in Colombia, and it is going to be huge -- literally. Directioners, you absolutely have to check out the below pictures of the stage. It's enormous!
Harry Styles of One Direction shares his name with more than one person in the world. While most Directioners will argue that there is only one Harry Styles in their eyes, the handsome, curly-cued hunk was reportedly named after a retired ambulance worker, 72. Wanna meet the man who makes this claim? Let's get to it, shall we?
Today (April 19, 2014) is National Record Store Day and each year, musicians release special vinyl, cassette and CD albums to encourage fans to head to their local record store and support the industry. We take a look at some big name pop stars who have something special planned for fans. So grab this list and head on over to your local record store!
At long last, One Direction have finally premiered the long-awaited music video for their romantic new single, 'You & I'! The guys have been getting Directioners hyped for the vid by posting teaser clips and pics on Instagram this week -- but now, the wait is over. And let us tell you, ladies: it was worth it.

This fun and easy craft is a great way to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year on February 10, 2013. Considering this is the year of the Snake, I wanted to create something a little cuter... so this Lucky Tree fits the bill! The fruits can be clementines or oranges... whatever you wish!
For this project you will need:
1. Using your glue stick, center a small white piece of paper on a larger red piece to create a nice 'frame'. Prepare a vase shape by cutting it out of yellow paper. Gather some dot stickers {can be found in any dollar store} and cut the green ones in half to use as leaves later.
2. Glue your vase shape on the white paper and draw some branches with a brown marker like the ones below.
3. Now peel stickers off and attach to the branches for the fruits. Orange stickers work best... I used red because that's a lucky color for Chinese New Year. This is definitely the funnest part for kids! Peel some green cut stickers and use them as leaves. Use your thin black marker to add some faces to the fruits if you wish!
4. For some final touches, add gold glitter around your picture. Lastly, add a sticker to the vase. A goldfish is perfect for the occasion!
Every year I try and attend the Chinese New Year Parade in Chinatown. It is a fun and educational event for children with awesome confetti, fire crackers and great food. Here is a link to this year's parade:http://betterchinatown.com/
Ashley Lucas is a local illustrator and crafts designer based in Jersey City, NJ. She is the author and illustrator of various children's books and has contributed to such popular sites as eHow and ModernMom. Her specialties in include holiday crafting and making art 'cute' for young children! Ashley currently teaches weekly crafting classes with JCFamilies.

The 28-year-old central defender left St Mirren this summer under freedom of contract and has become the Ibrox club's second acquisition of the summer following the arrival of striker Kenny Miller on a Bosman transfer.
McGregor, who will be paraded officially later today, suffered two cruciate ligament injuries during his time in Paisley but returned to play regularly throughout the course of last season.
"I am absolutely delighted to get the chance to join Rangers," he said. "I will do everything I can to help this club get back to the top of Scottish football. I am sure next season's campaign will be a successful one. This is one of the biggest clubs in world football and I can't wait to play at Ibrox. It really is a dream come true."
Ally McCoist, the Rangers manager, has revealed he kept a close eye on McGregor as he proved his fitness last season and believes his pace will make the defender a valuable addition. "I watched St Mirren a number of times last year and he was a very consistent performer," added McCoist.
Rangers are chasing a number of other targets, with Kilmarnock forward Kris Boyd among them. Don Cowie has also been linked, although Cardiff City are hopeful the midfielder will sign a new two-year contract with them.

Re: Official HardOCP HL2 benchmarks
Dave already answered the "ATI" level issues you had. And HL2 being ATI biased.....well Duh I would expect for 6 million you get som perks In that same thread that you quoted from I have already said that I am worried that IHV and Developer "realations" like this are bad for us consumers. So no I am not happy about what ATI and NV has done.
Agree 100% with this.But contrary to what a lot of people could say, Carmack did not went out of is way to slang one of the IHV, where Mr Newell promised 30% faster gameplay in ATI hardware.I know both IHV's support diferent devs, but normaly the performance across the board is simillar (OGL to NV D3D to ATI) but never too far off
Are we entering in a new era of Games on Demand For Your Fav IVH?
And then when Longhorn cames along and everyone needs to obey M$ specs, what then?
My 9700pro played the game just fine. Abeit not at the FPS that NV users got.
So does my GT on HL2.I'm not bothered with that.
But some people are.Even if in the rest of the games out there that is not the case

Great horned owl makes unexpected visit to IWA area
Karen Magee lives in a residential neighborhood, on Vaky, near Incarnate Word Academy. She feeds the birds every day and enjoys watching their antics. She is joined in this activity by her husband, Bill, and a birding neighbor, John Graham. Of particular interest this year has been a family of golden fronted woodpeckers that nested in an ash tree in the front yard.
One morning recently she heard a loud commotion from the woodpeckers and went to investigate. A large bird had captured one of the birds and was eating it. She decided the aggressor was an owl. She tried to frighten it away but it showed no intention of cooperating. She called me. I grabbed my camera and went to see.
Sure enough, the bird was a great horned owl, sitting high up among the branches, and alternately dozing, digesting and looking down defiantly at Karen.
Early winter is the time to look for these birds. It is the time
when they call to attract mates and claim territory. The middle of an
urban neighborhood was not a typical place to find one. This great
horned owl, however, was apparently interested only in having found a
good food source.
Beth Hoekje will lead a presentation on "Iceland, Land of Fire, Ice and Birds" during the Audubon Outdoor Club meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 13 at the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, 1900 N. Chaparral St. Free. Information: 992-1887.
Christmas Bird Counts
Mexican Bird Counts
Seven species of owl appear on the area bird list: barn owl, eastern screech owl, great horned owl, ferruginous pygmy owl, burrowing owl, barred owl and short-eared owl. Of these the most frequently seen is the great horned. Flour Bluff is a good place to look for one.
Screech owls also favor that area. Barred owls like rivers. Look in Hazel Bazemore County Park for one, or in the birding area below Lake Corpus Christi. A barn owl sometimes lives in the Packery Channel area.
Burrowing owls are winter residents and have lived under culverts near Gregory, on the back road to Rockport, and out toward Chapman Ranch. Short-eared owls have lived in plowed fields across the Nueces River, on the McGregor ranch. Ferruginous pygmy owls live on ranches out of Kingsville.
My grandson, Jack Yochem, is a hunter and told of seeing an owl recently on a hunting expedition. He and a friend were sitting in a car, overlooking a man-made tank where birds came for water in the evening. Several shore birds were feeding in the shallows.
Suddenly an owl came from a nearby tree, scattering birds and taking one in its talons.
He thought it was an owl.
"Awesome," he said.
Phyllis Yochem, a Corpus Christi resident, has studied birds in Texas since 1960.

No Country For Old Men
12:20 AM — Everyone loves the Coen Brothers, surely? Over the last two decades, the oddball pair have produced some of the weirdest and most wonderful movies ever to have come out of America - quirky yet accessible, and always with a streak of deliciously black humour running throughout.The Coens have given us that modern icon, Jeff Bridges' White Russian-supping bowling layabout The Dude in their biggest hit, The Big Lebowski.
In the Valley of Elah
12:20 AM — Films about the psychological aftermath of war have a long and generally speaking highly distinguished history. Yet, when the war in Vietnam - similarly unpopular to those in Iraq and Afghanistan - was still raging, Hollywood seemed to have cold feet about tackling the actual blood and guts of the conflict. Apocalypse Now has gone beyond mere classic status to become a defining movie in the history of cinema, but it was also the first film to go into production about the Vietnam War itself. Yet, it was only released in 1979; four years after the war had ignominiously come to an end.
Sweeney Todd 1
12:20 AM — Love him for his quirky visual style or hate him for his apparently deliberate appeal to that subsection of the teenage market that dresses in black all the time, mostly while writing dire poetry about death and unrequited love, Tim Burton is undoubtedly one of the more interesting and individual of mainstream Hollywood directors. Somehow always able to create films that look like no others - even with his occasional misses, like the ill-judged "reimagining" of Planet of the Apes - Burton's movies have a style all their own, and that should always be cause for celebration.
26th October 2007
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
5:10 PM — 1997's Elizabeth, dealing with the early years of Queen Elizabeth I and her difficult passage to the throne, was a glorious example of the most lavish kind of period drama. Plush sets, a big-name cast, incredible costumes, and a central performance from a then-nearly unknown Cate Blanchett, who was robbed of an Oscar - Best Actress that year instead went to Gwyneth Paltrow for her turn in the so-so Elizabethan romantic comedy Shakespeare in Love, prompting a memorable bout of acceptance speech hysterics.
Lions for Lambs 1
5:10 PM — Say what you like about Tom Cruise, he certainly knows how to pick his films. He may well have had a falling out with Paramount after his bizarre, Scientology and love-inspired behaviour in the run-up to his wedding last year, but love him or loathe him he's one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood - and you don't get to that level of fame by appearing in bad films. Unless, of course, they're bad films that are likely to make a huge amount of money - like Days of Thunder, Legend or the last couple of Mission: Impossible movies.
5:10 PM — In the wake of the massive success of The Lord of the Rings, little wonder that Hollywood's been scrabbling around for other fantasy epics to bring to the big screen, now that the technology is finally good enough to create the kind of strange creatures with which such legendary settings abound. 2005's adaptation of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe - and its forthcoming sequel Prince Caspian - was an obvious choice, so similar are the two books, thanks to their authors' friendship.
American Gangster 1
5:10 PM — OK, so the last team-up between director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe, last year's film adaptation of A Year in Provence that was A Good Year, may have been critically panned and largely ignored by cinemagoers.Yes, Scott's outing before that, 2005's historical epic Kingdom of Heaven, was likewise slated and shunned. And yes, his film before that, the Nic Cage-starring Matchstick Men, made little real impact.
5:10 PM — What is it with doing remakes of classic Michael Caine films? Haven't they learned by now? We've had the glossy but utterly facile Jude Law-starring remake of Alfie, which singularly managed to remove any of the easy cool and charm from that wonderfully misogynistic character, and ripped out the deep sense of melancholy at the heart of the original film in the process. We've had the truly abysmal, almost sacrilegious remake of the glorious Get Carter, with Sylvester Stallone making Caine's cold-heartedly distraught mob killer on a revenge trip into an overweight and pathetically mumbling joke.
The Darjeeling Limited
5:10 PM — The fifth film by oddball director Wes Anderson - he of The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic fame - was always going to be much anticipated.Anderson's films have a wonderful tendency to be both decidedly quirky and gloriously affecting comic character studies quite unlike anything being churned out by anyone else in the Hollywood mainstream.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
5:10 PM — One of the most anticipated films of the autumn, The Assassination of Jesse James has nonetheless been a long time in coming - nearly as long as its title, in fact.Originally set for a 2006 release, with filming completed more than two years ago, despite rave reviews from test screenings for the central performances of Brad Pitt (as James) and Ben's little brother Casey Affleck (as Ford), the fact that the film is a Western seems to have given the studio a number of concerns.
Fred Claus
5:10 PM — One of the major benefits of the spread of the internet and the boom in movie piracy has been that the big American studios have finally begun to release their films world-wide at approximately the same time. Whereas in the bad old days us poor consumers from the UK market would end up getting Christmas movies in February or March, the studios following their old pattern of staggering European releases until a good three months after the American box office had had its fill, or even have to wait until the following Christmas, those nasty pirates have forced the studios' hands.
29th September 2007
The Kingdom
9:30 AM — Thanks to the generally pro-Britain approach of the United States in the early years of the Second World War, Hollywood began producing movies about the war long before America even entered the conflict - all staunchly pro-Allies.It wasn't until the mid 1960s that any Second World War films began to emerge that were even vaguely critical of any Allied soldiers, or that dared to suggest that, well, maybe it wasn't quite as simple as "all Germans and Japanese are evil" as the movies seemed to make out.
The Heartbreak Kid
9:30 AM — In the late 1990s, it looked as if the Farrelly brothers were the next big thing in Hollywood comedy. First came the bizarrely braindead Dumb and Dumber then the more intelligent yet equally weird Kingpin, both of which made decent amounts of money and built up keen fanbases that adore them to this day.But the real clincher was 1998's There's Something About Mary - one of the most influential comedies of the decade.
The Invasion
9:30 AM — In today's world of increasing paranoia over the creeping powers of state surveillance, where parallels to Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Red Scares of the 1950s are made in the West's liberal press on an almost daily basis, it seems a fairly obvious choice to look to old Cold War parables for sources to rework for the present day.But in hunting them out, it seems rather bizarre to opt for one of those that helped add to the paranoia, rather than point out the insanity of the situation.
9:30 AM — Despite the vast majority of modern computer-animated children's films revolving around talking animals being derivative and uninspired, with even the latest Shrek movie having lost much of the lustre that made its predecessors so much fun, every now and then the genre still throws up the odd gem.With the behind-the-scenes talent involved in this latest outing from animation giants Disney and Pixar - notably writer and co-director Brad Bird, the chap behind the entertaining The Incredibles and superb The Iron Giant - the signs were always good.
9:30 AM — The second directorial effort from British producer Matthew Vaughan, who prior to his debut with Layer Cake in 2004 was best known variously as the best mate of director Guy Ritchie or the husband of supermodel Claudia Schiffer, is a surprising change of direction.After all, Vaughan started out closely associated with the late-1990s revival of the British gangster movie after successfully shepherding Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to worldwide success.
9:30 AM — After the high-octane actioner The Kingdom earlier this month, now we get the more subdued, darker side of the war on terror with Rendition.Picking up on one of the most disgraceful aspects of America's current counter-terrorism strategy, it is an overdue high-profile bit of publicity for an aspect of the current war that has received far too little attention from both press and public alike.
9:30 AM — Michael Moore's stock has fluctuated wildly over the last six or so years. Where in the late 1990s he held a modest reputation as a documentary filmmaker, in the UK he was barely known.After all, his breakthrough documentary Roger Me - a 1989 investigation into the impact of outsourcing jobs to foreign countries in his hometown of Flint, Michigan - seemed to be looking at problems far less serious than those facing people in post-Miners' Strike Britain on the eve of the Poll Tax Riots.
The Lookout
9:30 AM — The directorial debut of screenwriter Scott Frank, unsurprisingly also the writer of this intriguing thriller, is something that fans of intelligently constructed films should be anticipating with relish.Best known in Hollywood as a script doctor, working on films as diverse as Minority Report and The Interpreter, it is for two solo screenplays based on Elmore Leonard novels for which film buffs should thank him.
1st July 2007
No Reservations
5:10 PM — This latest film outing is the first in a glut of new movies for the former Darling Buds of May star, who has managed to become one of the most successful female British stars in Hollywood over the last ten years or so. Though coming up to her 38th birthday, so nearing the age where Hollywood traditionally begins to lose interest in actresses known for their good looks, she's still just as stunning as ever, and still seems to be in much demand, despite her last couple of big screen outings having come in for a bit of a critical mauling.

The Feedlindsay.com Web site has actually collected an online petition with more than 43,000 signatures urging Lindsay Lohan to stop losing weight.
"What you're seeing now are spoofs of spoofs," says Los Angeles graphic artist Sheila Cameron, who launched the Internet's "Free Katie" campaign in May, after she saw Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah Winfrey's couch, breathlessly declaring his love for Katie Holmes as something "beyond cool."
Within two weeks, more than half a million Internet users visited Cameron's site -- FreeKatie.net -- which offers hats, mugs, buttons and various apparel, including thongs, that say, "Run, Katie, Run" and "Stop Sofa Abuse."
Cameron's "Free Katie" shirt even popped up at the premiere for Lohan's latest movie, "Herbie: Fully Loaded." It was worn by actor Peter Pasco, who has a minor part in the film, and might not have received any media attention at the party, if not for the shirt that seemed to indicate his apparent stance on Tom Cruise's love life.
"It's nothing against the Scientologists," Pasco told The New York Times.
"I just think Katie should be free to call me at any time and hang out with me anytime.''
When a novelty shirt isn't funny, few things can be more annoying, especially if the joke is on you. Last fall, the Olsen twins threatened to sue the manufacturer of "Save Mary Kate" shirts, even after the designer, Randy & Moss, vowed to pledge 20 percent of its profits to the National Eating Disorders Association.
But if you're a public personality, sometimes it's best to prove you can take a joke. Naomi Campbell tried showing that controversy suits her to a T, when she strutted through Manhattan in February in a shirt that read, "Naomi hit me … and I loved it."
A few months earlier, a judge ordered the catwalk queen to attend anger management classes, after former assistants complained that she had been physically and verbally abusive.
"We never imagined at first that Naomi would wear this. It's something we made for Fashion Week as a lark, because everyone in the fashion business was buzzing about it," says Pepper Foster of Chip and Pepper Designs in Los Angeles. "Finally, we sent one to her, and she decided to be a good sport."
With paparazzi photos published worldwide, stars are well aware of the broadcast potential of their chest and back -- turning them into living, breathing Super Bowl commercials for whatever they want to say.
Julia Roberts sent out her own cryptic message in 2002, when she was eager to marry Danny Moder, and chose to walk around one spring day in a shirt that read, "A Low Vera." It was something she never cared to explain.
Perhaps the "Pretty Woman" was advocating the healing qualities of aloe vera -- and she's merely a lousy speller. But many believe Roberts was sending a message to Moder's estranged wife, Vera, who was said to be stalling divorce proceedings.
When love goes awry, how can your average star resist not letting the world know? This is how everyone would communicate, if only the rest of the world cared what was written on the less-than-average person's shirt.
Last December, when reports surfaced that Lohan's ex-boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama, was getting friendly with exotic dancers at a Los Angeles strip club, the "Mean Girls" star was soon seen in a T-shirt that read, "You Were Never My Boyfriend."
Valderrama has yet to be seen in clothing with a retaliatory message. But if he pulls on a snappy T, will it say "Feed Lindsay" … or simply "Fed Up With Lindsay"?
