January to September 1856 were further months in the shadow of Frederick the Great for both Carlyles; months of unrelenting work for TC and often unrelenting ill health for JWC, ending in a prolonged summer in Scotland that led to a voluminous exchange of letters between them (as holidays always did when the Carlyles were separated) and a notable reappraisal of their national identity by two Scots who had not spent much time in their native parts for several years.1
TC greeted the new year without much enthusiasm. Their winter visit to the Grange (from 17 December 1855 to 14 January) had been full of good company. Nevertheless, he later characterized the house party—"Our last Grange Christmas, such as it proved, under the presidency of that great lady,"—as a gathering of aristocrats and scientists, "some of whom have left more than the shadow of an impression on me"2—a notably grudging comment, considering that one of the acquisitions of the time was the long-lasting friendship of John Tyndall, whose devotion to TC was unwavering. Clearly, both TC and JWC continued to charm socially through their good company and good humor, and his published writing, however controversial, continued to fascinate. As K. J. Fielding has observed, commenting on such evidence as Tyndall's correspondence, "[I]t gives a clear idea of what Carlyle's works meant to many of his readers in the forties and fifties. Through their language, beliefs, and social commitment they had a powerful effect."3
JWC's effect certainly was as striking in the circle of friends who continue to elicit her epistolary skills in this volume, friends like Ellen Twisleton, who had commented shrewdly in April 1855: "Nobody has been kinder to me than Mrs Carlyle. … It seems to me sometime, as if all the love and charity and goodness and unworldliness, in England, were among the heathen, while 'those who profess and call themselves Christians' are hard, and cold, and selfish."4 JWC shared Twisleton's impatience with energetic Christians (with her own aunts in Edinburgh, for instance), as we see from her letters and Notebook and Journal (see vol. 30). But her letters continue to demonstrate genuine affection, openly and attractively displayed (for example, her letters to Mary Russell)—and her conduct demonstrates the independence of mind that so many found attractive in the first place. That she should have added her signature in February to the Petition for Reform of the Married Woman's Property Law is perhaps astonishing in one who preferred to do good in private, if not by stealth. But JWC was fond of asserting her individuality, and she felt keenly in Scotland later in the year the difference between "being loved for the sake of ones dead Father and Mother—and being make-believe-loved for the sake of one's living 'distinguished Husband!'" (JWC to EDO, [20 Aug.]).
The Carlyles were plainly both of them attractive friends, whatever bitterness may occasionally surface in their letters. While JWC's Journal, covering March to early July 1856, may also describe illness, depression, and anxiety, it is also a record of an extremely active social life, something that is not as apparent in her surviving letters (see Chronology and JWC's Journal). All her letters were to elicit strong feelings when TC read them in his bereaved state in 1866 after her death, finding them "mournful to me while I live."5 Preparing the Reminiscences, he systematically read through JWC's letters: "[S]uch a day's reading as I perhaps never had in my life before. What a piercing radiancy of meaning to me in those dear records, hastily thrown off, full of misery, yet of bright eternal love; all as if on wings of lightning, tingling through one's very heart of hearts!"6
These months were overshadowed for both of them by TC's hard work on Frederick. On 19 January he wrote, "I have been the idlest, feeblest, and probably among the unhappiest of mankind; never felt so vanquished, overwhelmed and totally useless,—or hardly ever,—in my life before. Incapable of writing, of thinking, of acting. In fact a down-broken creature indeed. Which is shameful to think of" (TC to LA, 19 Jan.). There were frequent spells of self-disgust and near despair caused by a book "thoughtlessly gone into," revulsion for subject and country both—"I have little real love for Frederick, and for his century, and its works and ways, contemptuous abhorrence rather than love" (TC to ES, 28 Jan.). Work—steady, methodical, and measurable work—seemed to be his only resource, for (as he confessed to LA on 3 April) "It is only when I fall altogether idle, that I get altogether miserable."
As the year progressed, Frederick seemed a little less formidable; by 5 May TC thought it possible he would be sending the first half of the book to press in autumn, "then a little pause for the other two (or one), whh ends it!" (TC to JCA, 5 May). Alas, nine years were to pass before that end, though the first volume did take shape in 1856, at the same time as TC began preparations for publishing a "Cheap Edition" of his works with Chapman. With the sterling help at this point of Vernon Lushington and Joseph Neuberg—and what better proof could be asked of his magnetism than that people volunteered to help with the drudgery of Frederick—he did make progress, however grudgingly admitted. Even on holiday in August, "I have brought some Papers with me; and occasionally try to do a bit of work, getting Fk's 'Introduction' worked thro' the shoreless lake of Reichshistorie,—not with much effect hitherto" (TC to JN, 13 Aug.).
The present volume, then, like its predecessors, functions as a window on the creative process of TC's research and writing, the misery it caused him (and caused those about him), the near panic he felt at lack of progress, and the remorseless rise in the size and scope of the project. All he could do was grind steadily at it all, realizing that the self-disgust he would otherwise feel would be unbearable. And JWC? Her letters, while fewer in number than her husband's, remain sharp, observant, frequently confessional, and illustrated more and more by correspondence such as Ellen Twisleton's and her sister Elisabeth Dwight's (see, for example, Ellen Twisleton's Account of Life at Cragenputtoch, and JWC to LA, 14 Nov. 1855, and TC to JCA, 23 Dec. 1855), and the originals of such papers as the Ashburton collection now in the National Library of Scotland.
August and September 1856 were months when husband and wife were separated by their prolonged summer holiday, a separation that generated an almost daily correspondence, without which TC in particular was quite miserable and could work himself into a frenzy: "Well, thank Heaven I hear of you at last! The man, yesterday too, at first denied, 'No Letters for you, Sir'; and I had three minutes of sceptical suspense, till he did produce the article. You have no idea how glad I am to hear of you on any terms" (TC to JWC, 23 Sept.). JWC replied tartly to criticism, not least since her husband was an unreasonably demanding correspondent, sometimes eliciting from JWC real fire. TC, for instance, had forgotten to take enough money with him to Scotland, and simply wrote to JWC to ask for more. JWC was not amused:
In fact, both were suffering from nervous reaction to their long visit to Scotland. TC's return to Scotsbrig had been almost ecstatic: "I woke a couple or more of hours in the night; but in return fell sound asleep from 7 to past 10! After which, with bathing, with excellt coffee &c, I am really in a very fair way" (TC to JWC, 26 July). But then he went so far as to raise the specter of taking JWC back to live there, an idea she had roundly rejected before:
JWC, too—for a while—found Scotland enchanting. After staying with her cousins in Auchtertool, Fife, she arrived, 8 August, in Haddington to stay with the two surviving Donaldson sisters (one of whom was her godmother); she wrote to TC that it "is like being pretty well up towards Heaven, being here" (8 Aug.). She felt she was back in childhood, everything "in perfect condition still." Puzzled by her own response to a return to familiar scenes, she wrote to Robert Tait in London a few days later:
Dead fathers and mothers confronted the Carlyles in Scotland as they faced up to their past. In September, TC revisited the graveyard where his father had been long immured and, since 1853, his adored mother (see TC to JWC, 30 Dec. 1853). After his return to London, he would write about this experience to his brother Alexander:
JWC was frankly surprised at the strength of her own emotional response to Scotland, and in letters to Mary Russell (which become much more intimate after she stayed with Mrs. Russell this summer and visited Crawford churchyard and Grace Welsh's grave with her), she was to lament her return to Chelsea and to normality: "I was so tired I could neither eat nor sleep—and after lying awake all night it seemed when I came down to breakfast as if I had taken on all the load of ailments again, I had kicked off on starting for Scotland—dear dear Scotland! I could have found in my heart to lie down and take the ground in my arms, and kiss it, that morning I came away—only it was raining torrents!" (JWC to MR, 6 Oct.).
Traveling with TC was no easy task. Quite apart from the forgotten money, there was his hatred of railways, which made him a really difficult companion. It had been difficult for JWC, coming north in the Ashburtons' private railway coach, "a grand 'Queen's Saloon' or Ne-plus-ultra of railway carriages (made for the Queen some time before) costing no end of money."7 But waiting for him in Ecclefechan for the homeward journey was worse. She was to describe him as being
London company and Scotland company were very different in their effects on JWC, as she reflected on her return to London. There Geraldine Jewsbury, for instance, was JWC's constant companion, as can be seen particularly in the frequent references to her in the Journal (see vol. 30). Other friends such as Ellen Twisleton thought she was too frequent a companion: "unfailing Miss Jewsbury" (TC to AGI, 30 May 1855), and "the everlasting Jewsbury" (ET to Elisabeth Dwight, 5 Dec. 1858, Houghton MS). For JWC as well, Jewsbury's company could be too much, especially when compared to the more discreet attentions of Mary Russell, or the Edinburgh aunts who, with all their faults, looked after JWC kindly when she arrived seasick from crossing the Firth of Forth. Jewsbury, with what JWC called "her trade of Novelist" had "the desire of feeling and producing violent emotions. … When I am well I can laugh down this sort of thing in her; but when I am ill it fatigues me dreadfully, and irritates my moral sense as well as my nerves" (JWC to MR, [28 Nov.]; see vol. 32).
Even TC learned from his travels that life with his adored Lady Ashburton could be rather tiresome, when, instead of the servanted grandeur of Bath House or the Grange, they were cooped up together in a cold and damp Highland shooting lodge: "Her Ladyship, in worse humour than usual, is capable of being driven to extremities by your setting up a peat from its flat posture; so I have learned altogether to abstain! Nothing earthly is to be done, nothing good to be read, to be said or thought,—this is not a luxurious kind of life for a poor wayfaring individual" (TC to JWC, 22 [20] Sept.). He was not at home in Kinlochluichart or in the Highlands generally. He told his brother John that it was "a deplorable country." The hunting lodge had been bought for sport, and TC had no interest in hunting. The weather was bad: "Every day it rains in flintmaking showers, one in five minutes, if one walk off the highway … one runs imminent risk not only of wet feet but of sprained ancles" (TC to JAC, 25 Sept.). It was so bad that it was not only an inconvenience for TC but was reported in the Times, 29 September, as almost destroying the harvest. The year 1856 saw the beginnings of a recovery from the hardship of the ten-year potato famine and a bad harvest would have inflicted great damage on the fragile Highland economy. Fortunately, the weather improved after TC left, and the harvest was saved.
TC had little sympathy for Highlanders. During the 1840s and 1850s, when many Highland estates were being sold off by the hereditary landlords, it became fashionable for some wealthy Scots Lowlanders and English families like the Ashburtons to buy or rent Highland estates for hunting. Other new owners, like some of the earlier owners, introduced large-scale sheep farming, resulting in depopulation. TC's perception was of "a country totally unimproved by the Natives; but considerably improvable,—thanks to South country farmers who are coming in here and there with their draining apparatus and their Cheviot sheep" (TC to JC, 25 Sept.). TC chose not to stay at the estate of one of the better kind of southern landowner, Edward Ellice, friend of the Ashburtons and the Carlyles, who had an estate fifty miles from Kinlochluichart (TC to EEL, 23 Sept.). The Ellices were English but had strong connections with the north of Scotland. Ellice's son, also Edward, who had greatly increased the family estates, was interested not just in ownership of land but also in the welfare of its inhabitants. He opposed the Highland clearances and assisted emigration, and fought for more humane administration of the Scottish Poor Law.
What the letters make abundantly plain is the continuing intellectual energy of both Carlyles, despite the obvious problems of health, temperament, and nervous irritability. Their lives in these months, as in other years, are punctuated by visits to the Ashburtons' homes, where they met many intellectually stimulating conversationalists and companions. They also describe the steady stream of visitors in the afternoons and evenings in the Chelsea drawing room, which JWC had enlarged and redecorated at such cost of nerves and energy in 1853. The streams of visitors are even more visible in the months of her Journal (March to early July 1856; see vol. 30), as it gives much more precise details of both those who visited the house, and the social occasions that both of them, or JWC on her own, took part in outside of the house. The fascinating counterpoint between the public face of the Carlyles—genial, enthusiastic, passionately friendly—and the more morbid and acid commentary that enlivens their letters is even more vividly present with the counterpoint that is possible only at this period between both their letters and the Journal. We know that TC at the Grange at the beginning of the year made his impatience at Tennyson's Maud all too clear even in the poet's company (see JWC to MW, [10 Jan.]), but JWC (who no doubt kept her own counsel in public) wrote in private of Tennyson, "going about asking everybody if they like his Maud—and reading Maud aloud—and talking of Maud, Maud, Maud till I wished myself far away among people who only read and wrote prose or who neither read nor wrote at all" (JWC to MW, [10 Jan.]). TC could thank Ruskin for volume 3 of Modern Painters and call it in his letter "the real Sermon of the season and Epoch" (TC to JRU, 18 Jan.). But JWC's letters to William Allingham are far more interesting in their recognition of Ruskin the man as well as Ruskin the writer: "As for Ruskin; I never saw a man so improved by the loss of his wife! He is amiable and gay, and full of hope and faith in—one doesn't exactly know what—but of course he does." She concluded: "Mrs Ruskin must have been hard to please" (JWC to WA, 23 Feb.).
TC was very private in his research and his writing in these months, but far from invisible to a generation that had come to recognize, in his moral, ethical, and social writings, one of the foremost influences in the thought of Victorian Britain (or, as both he and others infuriatingly continued to call it, "England"). Writers like James Martineau (in the National Review of October 1856) bracketed TC with Newman and Coleridge as a wellspring of "the altered spirit, in regard to religion, pervading the young intellect of England." He wrote there with enthusiasm of TC's hostility to rationalism:
Like him or not, TC was obviously a force in his time. Another eminent Scot of the times, George Gilfillan, made the point when lecturing in the Queen Street Hall, Edinburgh, in February 1856: "He alluded to Carlyle's last lamentable letter to John Sterling. He was afraid that John Sterling had left this world stripped of every hope by a friendly hand. Mr. Gilfillan then referred to Mr. Carlyle's calumnious view of the public teaching of Christianity, and drew a picture of the great loss which the world would sustain if the ministrations of the pulpit were withdrawn."9 Superbly indifferent to most criticism, TC would barely have noticed such comment. Curiously insensitive to his effect on those who wrote, he could dismiss Browning's offering of Men and Women with the remarkable summing-up: "My friend, it is what they call 'unintelligibility'! That is a fact: you are dreadfully difficult to understand; and that is really a sin. Admit the accusation: I testify to it; I found most of your Pieces too hard of interpretation, and more than one (chiefly of the short kind) I had to read as a very enigma" (TC to RB, 25 April). Continuing his diatribe against poetry, a week later, he was writing to an unidentified correspondent that "whatever the idle humour of mankind, thro' their Newspapers and Literary Gazettes, may be in our time, there is no idler trade now carried on than that of verse-writing, nine hundred and ninety-nine times out of the thousand, now is; not any in which success is more uncertain, nor more utterly worthless to a serious man, when it does come" (1 May).
The Carlyles remain supremely gifted enigmas in this volume, as in previous ones. Sociable, private, generous, sarcastic, wonderful letter writers, demanding letter receivers, they were at the heart of a network that makes them exceptional observers not only of their London environment but also of a larger canvas that could include farmsteads in the Lowlands and shooting lodges in the Highlands of Scotland. Characteristically, TC puts down his pen with the realization that even his gifts as a letter writer were inadequate to the task he set himself: "Oh Goody, Oh poor Goody, Goody! How hard and cold is my talk in contrast to the thought that lies in me,—obstructed by the East Wind alone! May God bless thee: that, any way, is one prayer that I can pronounce with entire completeness of utterance. But I think it now certain you will leave this world one day without ever knowing what my heart was towards you" (TC to JWC, 21 Aug.). JWC would not have committed such a thought to paper, nor anticipated the outpouring of TC's Reminiscences that her death in 1866 was to provoke. What these months of 1856 brought to them both was a physical return to their roots, not just for a fleeting stay but for long enough to consider the thirty years of their marriage and the twenty-two years they had spent together in Chelsea.

Although Crushing The Cup was developed
as a "stand-alone" publication, it's focus
is to explain the "theory" behind picking Cup winners
in each race. It's written months before the big event
and, as such, spends little time discussing current contenders
for each race.
However, we found that hundreds of readers
would call us around Cup day to see if they were properly
applying the "theory" to the actual horses entered.
As such, we developed The Crushing Zone, the author's
race-by-analysis of the pre-entered starters for that year's
The Zone is not a tout sheet! Repeat, it's
not a tout sheet which will provide you with the first three
finishers in each race. Our readers want to make their own
final selections. However, The Zone will point out which starters
qualify on the key factors in each race. At the end of each
analysis, we provide a table which separates the field into
three categories: (1) The Crushing Zone; (2) The Gray Zone;
and (3) Pretenders.
Crushing Zone starters possess many of the
traits evident in previous winners of that race. Most of the
race favorites will likely fall into this category, but so
will a few well-meant longshots. Horses that fall into the
Gray Zone possess some of the characteristics of previous
race winners but still have a few holes in their past performances.
We leave it to your imagination to integrate the Gray Zone
types into your wagering strategies. The higher the price
on a Gray Zone horse the better the appeal.
just don't have enough positive characteristics for
us (or you) to take them seriously. Some of these horses will
be supported by the uninformed. We will be betting against
them not because they can't win, but because they don't
match up to the patterns of previous winners.

Top news coming in to a warm San Francisco today is about a loss due to the Super Bowl
That loss is worth over $7 million.
According to ABC 7 News, the Super Bowl bet has now cost the owner of a furniture store in Houston dearly because the Seahawks ran rings around the Broncos this weekend.
According to the news source:
"Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale said that he would give a full refund to customers who spent $6,000 or more at Gallery Furniture in the two weeks leading up to the game and had their orders delivered by 5pm on Sunday" said ABC affiliate KTRK
And McIngvale was true to his word. He announced on the company's website that he would, indeed, let his customers win. He wrote "Customers Win $7,000,000."
"That's quite astonishing, but I'll bet the customers are very pleased!" says San Francisco resident, Alice Marshall.

Dallas will have a Six-Flags-Style ride through weather extremes this week.
Springtime warmth …with highs pushing 80 Tuesday….. will be followed by temperatures dropping like a stone Wed-Thu. It will likely be the coldest air of the season with lows well into the 20s, and highs remaining in the 30s by Friday.
The natural question to follow: will there be any frozen precipitation? A: North Texas will probably get some sort of rain, freezing rain or sleet because a deep upper trough will develop an over-running pattern favorable for rain. However, as with the "bust" last week, a few degrees can make a world of difference. Stay tuned.

Pullen brothers VIP visit to Carrington
- 05 April 2013 11:28
- Posted by @mccarthy_mcfc
Blues fans Mark, Matthew and Alex said their dreams came true when they were taken behind the scenes at City's Carrington training ground.
After losing their 34-year-old mother to cancer last year, the club wanted to give the three brothers an experience to remember.
As well as the death of their mother, ten-year-old Matthew has also had his own fight against the disease following the diagnosis of a brain tumour at the age of three. He is currently in remission and receiving recovery treatment.
Upon arrival at the training ground for their special visit, the boys were given a unique behind the scenes tour of the facilities by kit man Les Chapman - even receiving their very own personalised shirts!
They were then able to meet and greet the players as they arrived for training before watching the afternoon session from the side-lines.
Three of the players - Edin Dzeko, Matija Nastasic and Aleksandar Kolarov - then treated all three to a personal training session in Carrington dome before presenting them with club presents.
"The boys have had a very hard few years," said family friend Allessandra Susca.
"Sadly last year my friend Claire lost her life through cancer and as a family friend I just wanted to do something special for the boys because they're like my own kids and I love them like my own.
"I just think it's amazing what City have done for us today, it's a dream come true for them."
Manchester City has strong relationships with a number of 'wish granting charities' including the Make a Wish, Starlight and Dreams Come True Foundations that create and provide supportive and special experiences to terminally and seriously ill children.
So far during the 2012/2013 season, the Club have given fifteen separate opportunities for some of the most deserving children to get close to the players.

Their current $50 a month plan boasts a paltry 100MB of data. For many people, that is more than enough. My self included, simply because I don't use much data when not on my home Wi-Fi or someone else's. For those of you that have been rocking this plan, you will be happy to know that T-Mobile is boosting that allotment by 400MBs. That gives you 500MBs of data for the same price you have been paying all along.
With T-Mobile looking to move off subsidized handset pricing, and phones becoming increasingly more expensive to even subsidize to an affordable price, pre-paid is really picking up. T-Mobile sure looks to be embracing this new trend and giving their customers a little more bang for their buck. In their eyes, it is all profit. Subsidizing a phone cost puts carriers in the hole on your account right off the bat.

Arguably the three most recognizable and successful stars in golf over the last twenty years, in consideration of both their on the course success and off the course marketing and star-power, may be the threesome mentioned in this headline. The alarming issue involves those actions that are being bantered along with these names as the new PGA Tour season begins the upcoming decade.
The "Borderland", as much as any other region, has seen the demographics of golf change with the rise of John Daly and his improbable victory in the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick, followed behind closely by an affable star out of regional Arizona State with movie-star looks, an "awe-shucks" attitude and a go-for-broke style of attack on the golf course. And then, of course, there is Tiger Woods. Most would argue that Woods has been the most influential athlete of the new millennium.
Possibly the biggest criticism of golf analysts and enthusiasts over the last twenty years has been the "robotic-like" nature that athletes in the sport of golf have taken in the form of dry, character-less golfing "machines" who lack the personality and style to make the game truly streamlined for those most skeptical of sports aficionados. This fact functioned as an even greater catalyst to the Woods, Daly, and Mickelson aura. The efforts of the golfing community in El Paso and Las Cruces over nearly two decades to mold a generation of golfers attracted by the aforementioned stars may have been seriously affected in a significantly short amount of time. Golf has long been a sport in many cultures previously void of interest in such an "elitist" pastime. The threat that a large segment of this new golfing population may have been undermined in two months' time by a hero's infidelity, a perennial underdog's continued fight against personal demons, and an eternal "choir-boy" imaged, fan favorite being tarnished by accusations of cheating have recently rocked the golf world. If this is what the PGA Tour was lacking in significant drama and rivalry, for the sake of our newest generation of golfers and next in line, I hope that the scene quickly turns to boring again very soon. Golf's traditions and values have been unmatched by any other sport and untarnished for far too long to absorb such a brutal blow by three of its biggest stars over the course of a few short months.
It seems so unfortunate that a talent such as John Daly has been seemingly squandered on too many occasions to count. His recent statement that he was quitting, quickly recanted on Twitter that it was taken out of context is just another incident in a much too long string of self-defeating actions. It seems his number of chances to crawl out from under the rocks in which he has buried himself too many times before may be dwindling to the point where he officially does quit. Eventually, even the relentlessly forgiving of all golf fans will quit on him too, probably sooner rather than later.
Phil Mickelson certainly has not broken the rules of golf, and Scott McCarron's recent accusation that his use of grandfathered Ping Eye-2 wedges was "cheating" was way out-of-bounds. However, the fact that he was "appalled" that Mickelson had put the clubs in play and doing so violated the spirit of the recent rule change concerning square grooves actually was appropriate. Would anyone disagree that the basic premise of the rule change is to ban the use of clubs with square grooves? Finding loop-holes and bending the rules doesn't seem like the saintly thing to do. Anyone remember how many spectators it took to move a boulder out of Tiger Woods' way in a PGA Tour event? Do you really think that the spirit of the rules had such an idea of a "loose" impediment? I think not.
And, maybe Tiger Woods' success combined with a "squeaky-clean" image was far too good to be true. Maybe his idolized role in golf combined with unrivaled success had become too predictable, and possibly too easy. This author predicts that his abrupt fall from grace will be followed by an equally ferocious and dominating ascent back to the top of his sport.
On a week where football reigns supreme, here's to the New Orleans Saints who go "marching in" to their first ever Super Bowl this weekend, and the hope that some Saints come marching onto the scene of the PGA Tour quickly in the year 2010.

summary of the shopping centers?
Hiya :D is there a page on shopping in orlando anywhere ? I really want to try and go to all the major malls if I can so I need to be organised to fit them in
This link (http://wdisneysecrets.com/index.php/shopping/53-shopping-in-florida/78-shopping-areas-in-orlando.html) may be of use to you.
Excellent link, Slowhand!!
There are some other malls in the area, one down on 27 near Baseball City, and one on 50 in Ocoee and the like, but the link takes you to the major malls. The others aren't really worth traveling to, but ok if you are in the area. (Well, the one in Ocoee is darn near useless, as is the one on east 50 in downtown Orlando).
Millenia and Florida Mall are huge, with Millenia being the one with the pricey shops, and Florida Mall being the one with the wider variety (some pricey, some sensible). :D
Prime Outlets are huge, and there are any number of offsite strip malls on the approach to Prime, so you could easily spend a day in that immediate area shopping your legs off (or your pockets out!).
Premium Outlets are closest to Downtown Disney and get much traffic, but they are not my favorite by any means. They do have a decent Disney outlet store, which is what keep them in business I think!
Lake Buena Vista outlets are very hit or miss. If you don't have time for them, you won't miss much.
There are about a zillion Super Walmarts all over for you to choose from too, if you want to do that sort of shopping. I'm not a Walmart fan but many people love the place. :yes:

We must be getting old, because although the first thing that we noticed about the Reef Guatemalan Slide sandals ($60) was their use of colorful woven Guatemalan textiles, the second thing we noticed - and with the same amount of glee - was the arch and heel support! Usually that sort of attention to detail is associated with totally uncool "mom" sandals, so we're pumped to see adorable sandals give a nod to our foot (and leg, and eventually back) health.

There are many reasons why Amsterdam is one of Europe's most beloved cities. What is it about Amsterdam that makes it so unique? It's the city's rich society and legacy. One major fact to consider is the high quality of life enjoyed by its people and an ever-growing commercial center. Another reason for the city's popularity is Amsterdam's modern culture blended with old-world charm. For an unforgettable experience of the city's unique beauty and attractions, consider staying in one of Amsterdam's bed and breakfast inns.
Staying in a bed and breakfast offers visitors a home away from home and much less expensive than a conventional hotel. Most of Amsterdam's bed and breakfast inns are old homes that have been refurbished to look like the original. These inns are not only affordable to stay in; they also give visitors a glimpse of the past.
Amsterdam's bed and breakfast inns provide guests with clean and cozy rooms complete with connected bathrooms that are equipped with showers and bathtubs. Some bed and breakfast inns might only offer shared bathrooms. But there is no need to worry; these inns are very thorough when it comes to keeping the bathrooms clean. Breakfast varies from inn to inn and is normally included with the room rate. However, it's always a good idea to check before booking with the inn. Some of the city's bed and breakfast inns also offer complete meals that include eggs, meat, flapjacks, fresh juice and coffee. Expect to pay a little more at these inns.
These inexpensive inns are ideal for travelers wanting to get more out of their money. They are an affordable alternative for travelers on a budget. This allows travelers to explore more of the city and its attractions.
Another advantage over the more expensive hotels is the pampering you receive as soon as you step through the door. Most of the bed and breakfast inns will have a glass of champagne or some horderves waiting in your room. A number of inns will provide guests with gift baskets containing scented candles and soaps, shower and bath gel and formulated shampoo.
Staying in a bed and breakfast inn can provide guests with the experience and feeling of a five-star hotel without having to empty their wallets. Think about your stay in a bed and breakfast inn like your home away from home.

Suddenly, Capitol Hill is talking about health issues again. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promises that Democrats will roll back the prohibition against the federal government negotiating drug prices on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries. (A Kaiser Family Foundation poll released today found broad bipartisan support for this idea.) Incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says one of his three top priorities will be more funding for stem cell research. Others want to revisit the importation of prescription drugs from Canada. Additionally, the 110th Congress will consider whether to continue the State Children's Health Insurance Program in its present form.
The election results, and the launch of the 2008 presidential season, mean a wealth of story ideas for reporters in all media. For instance: Who will be the key players in health care on the Hill for the next two years? Given the election outcome, will we see a dramatic new emphasis on health issues, such as a federal mandate that everyone in the U.S. must have health coverage (a la Massachusetts)? Or should we expect more modest steps toward reform? What's in store for prescription drug reimportation and stem cell research? What about efforts to help small businesses provide health coverage to their employees? How important will health issues be in the 2008 presidential race?
To help address these and related questions, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a December 13 luncheon briefing for reporters and others in the media. Panelists were Hill insiders well versed in getting health legislation done: Bridgett Taylor, Democratic staff of the House Energy and Commerce Committee; Mark Hayes, Republican health policy director for the Senate Finance Committee; and Kate Leone, health policy advisor to Sen. Reid. Ed Howard, executive vice president of the Alliance, moderated the discussion.

A recent whirlwind of mergers and acquisitions has thrown health care industry consolidation into the spotlight. In 2014 alone, there were 1,299 mergers and acquisitions in the health care sector at a value of $387 billion, a new record. In this roundtable for reporters, featuring a top FTC official and two experts, panelists discussed the drivers behind this recent trend; the scope and extent of consolidation among doctors, hospitals and insurers; implications for consumers and other stakeholders; and the roles of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

What is the key to creating a more consumer-friendly and patient-centered health care system? Leading experts address challenges and potential solutions in a new Alliance video featuring Benjamin Moulton of the Informed Medical Decisions Foundation, Robin Gelburd of FAIR Health, and Tim Skeen Anthem.

On October 5, speakers at a reporter roundtable held at the National Press Club on open enrollment III provided the latest information about premium trends and drivers, health plan availability and new comparison tools for consumers to use in choosing health plans. They discussed trends in the role of navigators and brokers, and increasing consumer expectations, particularly around the ease of the process.

A new Alliance toolkit, "The Connection between Health and Housing: The Evidence and Policy Landscape," provides a detailed look into federal, state and local initiatives, as well as cost implications for health and housing programs.
Attempts to tie health and housing policy are gaining momentum, amid evidence that housing, a social determinant of health, is an important factor in the health status of various populations. More than 610,000 people experience homelessness in the U.S., and over 250,000 individuals within that population have a severe mental illness or a chronic substance use disorder, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Alliance for Health Reform has released a new toolkit, "Biosimilars: Unpacking Complex Issues."
The Affordable Care Act created an expedited licensure pathway for biosimilars, and, in March 2015, the U.S. approved the first biosimilar, leaving policy makers, regulators, providers and stakeholders to grapple with regulatory and financial questions.
Biosimilars are similar – but not identical – to biologic drugs, and cost less. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals, biologic drugs are derived from living organisms and tissues, making them more complex and expensive to produce.

A Queens woman who worked as a nursing aide at a Manhasset rehab facility was arrested Wednesday on felony charges for allegedly slapping an elderly patient across the face and then filing a false written report about the incident, the state attorney general's office said.
Rose Marie Hall, 53, of Jamaica, has been charged with first-degree endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person and two counts of first-degree falsifying business records. She pleaded not guilty Wednesday at an arraignment at First District Court in Hempstead and was released on $300 bail. If convicted, Hall could face up to four years in prison.
Prosecutors say the incident occurred in January 2013 while Hall was working as a nurse's aide at the Stern Family Center for Rehabilitation in Manhasset. According to a criminal complaint, a registered nurse at the facility saw Hall slap a 78-year-old patient. Authorities said the elderly woman – who suffers from dementia and diabetes – is a stroke patient who sometimes has behavioral outbursts. Another nursing aide at the facility told investigators that Hall had told her the patient slapped her and that "she slapped the resident back." The patient, who prosecutors said was slapped across the face, was left crying and had red marks on her face.
Officials said Hall filed an incident report with the facility, but "omitted that she slapped [the patient] in the face." During an internal investigation into the incident, Hall allegedly told a nursing supervisor that the elderly woman had slapped her, but that she never slapped her back. When she was questioned by a special investigator from the attorney general's office, Hall denied both being hit by the woman and striking the patient, court papers say.
A spokesman for the North Shore-LIJ Health System, which operates the rehab center, said Hall was fired the day after the incident. He said North Shore-LIJ officials reported the case to the state health department, which turned the information over to the attorney general's office. Hall, who is due back in court next week, could not be reached for comment.

Sophomore guard Katye Magee and the Green Wave open play in the Hilton Garden Inn Thanksgiving Tournament against Bradley on Friday.
Nov. 22, 2012
Tulane Game Notes
Coach Stockton's Comments Heading Into The Thanksgiving Tournament
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - The Tulane University women's basketball team will open play in the Hilton Garden Inn Thanksgiving Tournament on Friday, Nov. 23, when the Green Wave take on Bradley at 5:05 p.m. (CST) at the Rolle Activity Center on the campus of Northern Arizona University.
The Wave are one of four participating teams in town as Western Michigan will take on host NAU on Friday at 3:05 p.m. The winner of Friday's contests will face each other in the tournament's title game on Saturday at 5:05 p.m. while the consolation game is slated for 3:05.
Friday's game will be broadcast live on the flagship radio station of Tulane Athletics, WIST AM 690. The game will also be carried on-line at www.TulaneGreenWave.com to paid members of the All-Access Pass. Saturday's game, however, will be an internet-only broadcast. Live stats for both games will be available free on-line.
Tulane will be facing a pair of first-time foes over the weekend as the Green Wave have never faced any of the three teams in town for the Thanksgiving Tournament. In addition to the unfamiliarity with the opponents, Tulane will also have to adjust quickly to the 6,000-foot elevation in the area.
"I think it'll definitely affect us and this will be one of those times where depth is really important," Stockton said. "We've been able to use a lot of different players, which is something that we hope will be a positive for us. It's all adversity. Going against different teams in different environments in different circumstances prepares you for the rest of the season. That's why you want to travel. We're excited and I think it's going to be a fun tournament."
Tulane enters the weekend, 3-0 on the year after downing Louisiana Tech in the season opener 66-59 on Nov. 9, defeating ULM 70-60 on Nov. 12 in Monroe, La., and rolling past Southern 65-45 on Nov. 16 in Baton Rouge, La.
As a team, the Green Wave are averaging 67.0 points, 40.3 rebounds, 14.7 assists, 10.7 steals and 3.3 blocks per game. Sophomore forward Tiffany Dale leads the team with 12.0 points per game followed by senior wing Janique Kautsky and sophomore guard Danielle Blagg with averages of 10.3 and 10.0, respectively. Senior guard Olivia Grayson has a team-best 7.3 rebounds per outing to go with 4.0 assists per game, and Dale paces the squad with five blocks and seven steals.
Tulane is connecting at a .441 clip from the field, hitting 71-of-161 shots from the floor, and 14-of-47 shots from beyond the 3-point arc (.298), while allowing opponents to shoot .367 overall (61-of-166) and .263 from 3-point land (10-of-38). Green Wave foes are averaging 54.7 points, 31.3 rebounds, 13.7 assists, 10.0 steals and 2.3 blocks so far in 2012-13.
"We have made progression from Louisiana Tech to Southern," Stockton said. "We've gotten better. Offensively, we've gotten into a rhythm. Defensively, we've gained some momentum. That's what you want. You want each game to build on the others. So far, we've done that and we want to do that here. The officiating might be different here, there are a lot of things that might be different but we need to adjust. We've got a huge game against Auburn going back (home) so hopefully we're a better team playing Auburn than we were when we left New Orleans."
Bradley enters the NAU Thanksgiving Tournament 2-2 on the year after sandwiching wins over Eastern Illinois (66-65 on Nov. 12) and Illinois (83-77 on Nov. 15) around losses to Central Michigan (73-58 on Nov. 9) and South Florida (605-0 on Nov. 20).
As a team, the Braves are averaging 64.2 points, 42.8 rebounds, 12.0 assists, 11.8 steals and 3.7 blocks per contest. Catie O'Leary leads the team with 11.8 points per game while Kelsey Budd and Shronda Butts follow with averages of 11.0 and 8.5, respectively. O'Leary also leads the team with 9.0 rebounds per outing while Butts paces the squad with 13 assists and five steals. Jenny Smith and Kelly Frings share team-high block honors with three each.
Bradley is hitting 37.1 percent of its shots from the field, connecting on 93-of-251 attempts, including a 24-of-85 showing from beyond the 3-point line (.282) while allowing opponents to tally a 41.0 field goal percentage (111-of-271) with a 22.4 performance from 3-point land (19-of-85). Braves foes are averaging 68.8 points, 40.5 rebounds, 15.5 assists, 11.0 steals and 6.3 blocks per game.

Oh he is seriously gorgeous!!!! Hugely jealous, what an amazing job you've done on him Sam. I'd imagine he'll do very well showing, you should get him out in hand
My babies have hooves :)
I don't have transport, but to be honest i'd probably be so offended if he didnt get placed it would make me angry. It's so subjective, and more than a little bit who's who. Here in Wales they take their welshies so seriously I'm not sure I could cope with the rejection lol

I died when I saw that middle photo. He has such an expressive face..how tall is he now?! He's filling out beautifully sam!
It's lonely in the saddle since the horse died.
last time i measured he was 15 h at the bum and 14 1 at the wither, hoping his wither just catches up with his bum, don't really want him much bigger than 15 1 tops, i'm not as springy as i used to be and i tend to be one for getting off and leading if there's a problem so too much taller and i'll be in trouble

Three industrious ten year olds spend their summer getting into all kinds of hilarious adventures in their hometown of Hinsdale, Illinois. They build a Ferris wheel and a candy dispensing machine for the neighborhood kids that gets them into hot water, not to mention what happens when fishing for piranhas and lost treasure in the nearby cattail swamp. Add to that a wild ride in a hometown soapbox and a boy Scout campout with a madman on the loose and you have a summer of thrills and spills. Donald, a resourceful inventor, narrates his own story and is destined to become the next Tom Sawyer.
I have written eight books thus far and am having fun doing it. It really shows in Hinsdale: The Summer of '58. Great for all ages! I sit quietly in front of a desktop computer listening to music while I work. A glass of orange juice and a vivid imagination. Just fun, join me in and adventure.

If you haven't had your fill of trend spying from following the runways of New York Fashion Week, the Academy Awards is always a good time to brush up on what's hip in the world of fashion and beauty.
And, if you're anything like me, watching The Oscars is just as much about seeing who's wearing what as it is about who's winning what.
If you happened to miss it, here's a recap on what went down:
Adele's pointed fingernails.
I couldn't help but notice them as the Oscar winner continuously raised and lowered her hands during her Skyfall performance. This look has been all over the runways this month, and is predicted to be the hottest nail trend for the upcoming seasons. So, say adieu to those squared off French manicures, ladies.
Pale pinks
Not only did Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway coordinate their best actress wins, but their overall looks appeared as if the duo planned ahead for coordinating photo ops, too. Both were beautifully outfitted in soft pink gowns and makeup that suggested a more natural and subtle beauty.
Side swept hair
Deep parts that flowed into voluminous side swept locks showed up on celebrities like Jessica Chastain, Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock.
Beards, beards and more beards.
The bearded trio of Argo producers wasn't alone in their attempts at ruggedly handsome. Hugh Jackman and Justin Theroux also looked a little more bristly than usual, making one wonder we're just a few months late for Movember.

As a regular feature, StarPhoenix sports reporter Cory Wolfe gets personal with a sports figure. Today, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Colby Armstrong talks about winning the world hockey championship, dressing in drag and what it's like to get chased by Sheldon Souray.
- - -
The SP: Your goal clinched the world hockey championship for Canada. I'm thinking you could pretty much mail it in for the rest of your life, couldn't you?
Armstrong: Well, I was thinking about that right after -- maybe just shutting 'er down. But I do have one more thing to win. There's still Lord Stanley, so we'll try to take a run at that.
The SP: When was the last time you won a medal in something other than hockey?
Armstrong: Maybe when I was 11 years old. took down a couple of figure skating medals back in the day.
The SP: What was your money move -- the Salchow or maybe a triple Axel?
Armstrong: It was kind of like Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell's character in Blades of Glory). I brought the same kind of passion to the ice. It was about the intensity.
The SP: What's the swankiest thing about your soon-to-be-completed condo in Saskatoon?
Armstrong: The swankiest thing is the couches we ordered. They're super deep. You could get lost in those things. I'm looking forward to lying on the couch, watching a lot of TV and having (fellow Saskatoon hockey pro) Michael Garnett over to hang out and have storytelling sessions.
The SP: Knock on wood, but if your new place was on fire, which one material possession would you try to save?
Armstrong: I have a couple of framed jerseys hanging on the wall and I'd try to grab those on the way out if I could muster enough strength.
My mom got them framed up and gave them to me as gifts. There's my junior jersey (Red Deer Rebels) and I have a picture of us when we won the Memorial Cup.
The SP: What have you done to improve Evgeni Malkin's English?
Armstrong: Personally, I haven't done a lot to help him. He still has no clue how to speak English.
. . . We use a lot of hand signals and talk to him like he's a baby. I'm pretty much an idiot around him so he gets the idea.
The SP: Confess something that you do when no one is looking.
Armstrong: (Hums and haws) The SP: Right now you're just weeding out the things you can't say, right? Armstrong: Sorta, yeah. That's a tough question, Cory. Maybe give the random B.O. sniff check. You check the armpit to see if it reeks. You never know. You've gotta double-check it.
The SP: (Laughs) You never know. What part of the NHL lifestyle is nothing like you imagined?
Armstrong: The schedule is tougher than I ever imagined. I thought, "You're flying, so it's easier. You get fed well and you're staying in nice hotels." But playing every second day almost, that's a pretty intense schedule.
The SP: If I'm you, I'm thinking, "YouTube is all fun and games until there's a video of me dressed in drag."
Armstrong: (Laughs) Yeah, that's brutal.
The SP: There's a video of you dressed as a cheerleader during your rookie season with the Wilkes-Barre Penguins.
Armstrong: Yeah, Chasing the Dream. I didn't think it would come back to haunt me like that, but it's coming back. If I ever find out who put it on there . . .
The SP: Every day, someone asks me: "Are you Facebooking yet?" Are you Facebooking, Colby?
Armstrong: No, I'm not too big on the computer.
Saskatoon is big-time into Facebook. My brother Facebooks everyone. Riley is always trying to Facebook it up with people. He's like the (From the background, Riley interjects: I've got 800 friends. I only know 50 of them, though.)
The SP: If you were writing a tell-all book about your teammate Sidney Crosby, which detail would be the juiciest?
Armstrong: I think he has a moat around his house with a dragon guarding the front gate.
The guy is a legend. He's the only guy in the world with a dragon. I think Tim Hortons hired a dragon to guard him.
The SP: (Laughs) Very funny. You've caught a few guys with their heads down and lowered the boom. Consequently, you've angered a few of their teammates. What's it like, for example, to be chased by Sheldon Souray?
Armstrong: It's pretty scary. He's a big, strong guy and he's intimidating. But after I (hit Saku Koivu,) I knew something was coming. I was just upset that it was such a big guy.
The SP: Do you love to be hated?
Armstrong: I don't know about that, but every team has a guy like that. When I went to world championships, I was playing on a team with guys that I don't think like me, but I got along well with a lot of guys. You meet them and find out that they're really good guys.
The SP: What's the craziest thing that happened during the world championship after-party?
Armstrong: For me, it was getting pictures with Steve Yzerman. Everyone stayed with their families and we had a lot of friends around, so it was just a typical championship party.
But Stevie Y was there, so I thought it was pretty crazy to be around a player that I grew up watching.
The SP: So he agreed to have his photo taken and then he said, "Wait a minute. Aren't you that guy who's dressed up like a cheerleader on YouTube?"
Armstrong: (Laughs) Yeah and then he quickly turned me down because he doesn't want to be on YouTube with me.
The SP: What's your Stanley Cup final prediction?
Armstrong: I'm going with Ottawa. . . . After they beat us, I said, "I think Ottawa is going to win the Stanley Cup." I think it'll go six games.
The SP: Finally, besides family and friends, what do you miss most about your hometown of Saskatoon when you're not here?
Armstrong: Just the atmosphere around the city. Whenever you come home to Canada, there's an excitement about hockey -- especially right now. I love watching playoffs here. Everyone is so into it. You can't even catch a hockey game on TV in the States.
