Multiple Dates
NYC Theatrical Premiere, One Week Only!
*** Critic/Filmmaker BRANDON HARRIS in person Fri. 5/25,
Special Guests on Sat. 5/26 ***
*** Come early for OPEN BAR (in limited quantities)
on Fri. 5/25 + Sat. 5/26 ***
Read Filmmaker Magazine's interview with Brandon Harris.
"[CRITICS' PICK!] A riveting portrait of young men in shock and in mourning as the tragedy stirs feelings that have long lain dormant... dives into shared grief with candor and a refreshing curiosity."
- Jeannette Catsoulis, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"I've watched REDLEGS twice and its raw power remains undiminished even the second time around... The authenticity of the performances is the most exciting I've seen since Cassavetes' debut."
- Terry McMahon, director of CHARLIE CASANOVA (SXSW 2011)
"REDLEGS is as much about directionless, confused young adults and class/race as it is about the city itself, with the filmmaker fixing a keen eye on the environment that houses his characters... You can also see some early Mike Nichols lurking within, showing the director as someone who can cull engaging, slice-of-life conversation from his actors without getting bogged down by forced dialogue."
- Christopher Bell, THE PLAYLIST
REDLEGS is the tragicomic directorial debut of film critic Brandon Harris (Filmmaker Magazine, Hammer to Nail, Variety). Inspired by the existential dread of John Cassavetes' HUSBANDS and the guilt-ridden souls of Abel Ferrara's BAD LIEUTENANT, the film makes its NYC theatrical premiere with a week-long run, May 25 - 31.
Set in the director's hometown of Cincinnati, a trio of old friends (Andrew Katz, Evan Louison, Nathan Ramos) reunites to attend the funeral of a childhood pal after a mysterious murder. Mourning their incomprehensible loss, Marco, Aaron and Wilbur chase the ghosts of their shared past over a weekend of misplaced grief and masculine bravado, forcing them to come to terms with their capacity for betrayal and desire for revenge.
68 minutes. In English. Presented in Blu-ray. Unrated.

Years ago Steve Jobs called the Apple TV a "hobby." As hobbies go, though, this one has turned out to be pretty popular. Though not one of Apple's best-selling products, the Apple TV has made quite a respectable showing, especially since the launch of the second generation version in 2010 (the third gen, of course, came out in March alongside the new iPad). The same can't be said, though, for Google's own foray into television. The Google TV has been pretty underwhelming, on the whole. Plagued by high prices at launch and somewhat limited content offerings, Google has struggled to get Google TV off the ground.
That may be about to change, though. Citing "sources involved in the keynote address," Fox News's Clayton Morris claims that Google's got big news coming for Google TV during the keynote for this year's Google I/O conference. According to these sources, Google will shift the TV interface's focus away from content sources and onto the content itself. That is, instead of having to worry about whether the show you want to watch is on Netflix or being broadcast live or is stored on your DVR, you just pick what you want to watch and watch it.
Other updates and new features will reportedly be coming from third party developers. Most notably, Google TV might be getting its own version of Apple's AirPlay, allowing people to stream content from their phones onto their TV through their Google TV box.
While Google TV showed a lot of promise initially, it simply hasn't managed to live up to Google's hopes for it. Though these rumored new features are bound to improve the experience, it still remains to be seen whether Google can offer a serious challenge to the other major players in the streaming TV market.

A Thousand Lives
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one." This quote is by a man named George R.R. Martin, and to me it is one of the truest quotes to have ever been written. If I could earn a living doing the thing that I love the most, the thing would be reading.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved to read. It started when my mom began reading me the Hardy Boys books, and has been growing exponentially since then. I am a firm believer in the fact that there have been many life-changing books written that are not recognized nearly enough. If I could earn a living by reading, I could have more time to explore less exploited books, which could have things written in them that could alter my (and others') ways of thinking. I love books so much that I try my hardest to ignite a fire in other peoples' hearts for reading. If all of my time was dedicated to this cause, I believe I could change a few lives, which leads to changing many lives, and eventually the world.

Last night while watching television I noticed our male cat (Phrayed-Tee cat) playing with something on the carpet a few feet away from me. I had just settled on the sofa, and looked towards the television. The cat was in my line of vision between the television and the sofa. I noticed he was batting at something on the floor. I have grown accustomed to him dragging voles into the house from outside through the doggie door, and my first thought was "Oh, great, he dragged in another vole." I wanted to take the vole away from him before he ended up killing it and hiding it behind the sofa, or some other little nook in the house where the smell of decomp would eventually bring the little critter to my attention.
So I got up from the sofa to get a better look at what the cat was playing with, to be able to better prepare myself for the mission of taking away a vole. Much to my chagrin, I discovered that the cat was playing with a full grown (twenty-four inch) queen snake!
Well, I'm not the type of person to scream and run away from snakes – in fact when I was in elementary school I found a green snake out in the back yard, picked it up and put it in a box and took it to school for show and tell! (My teacher was NOT happy about that at all!)
When I was a child, my older brothers had several large black snakes they kept in aquariums in their bedrooms. I used to pick up and handle them, so I knew that black snakes are harmless. This snake that had suddenly appeared in my living room, however, I wasn't sure if it was harmless or not – I just knew it was brown. I KNOW that some brown snakes are harmless, but in this area of the state, not all brown snakes are harmless! And I hadn't seen it's head to be able to see if it had that triangle shape yet. To top it all off, the snake was still alive – it was moving!
Obviously I wanted to get that snake out of my house as quickly as possible, but I didn't want to just reach down and grab it. So, what to do? Yell for other members of the house to come into the room to help me catch it! I hollered for my husband to come out to the living room as fast as he could. Poor guy was asleep, and was not wanting to come out of the bedroom. But I kept hollering at him to come immediately, I needed his help! My son heard the ruckus and came to check it out. When they got to the living room doorway and I told them that the cat was playing with a snake, they couldn't see the snake and it took them a few minutes to see it. There was a cat toy in their line of vision, so they had to move it out of the way.
Once they saw that there really was a snake, they declared that it was dead, but I knew better. They stood there, looking at the snake, talking about what to do about the situation. I left the room and found a rectangular trash can, took out the plastic bag from the trash can and then went up to the snake and inverted the trash can over the snake. My husband and son looked at me and said "what did you do THAT for?" I replied "so the snake won't get away!"
Then I went into the kitchen and grabbed a flat cookie sheet – one with no edges on it, one that was larger than the opening of the trash can. I handed it to my husband and suggested that he slide it under the trash can and then flip the trash can right-side up to trap the snake. He did so, and once the trash can was right-side up he removed the cookie sheet to look inside. I'm not sure that I would have done that, but that is what he did. He looked inside and declared that the snake was dead.
I told him I was pretty sure that the snake was very much alive and looked inside the trash can for myself. The snake was moving around in the bottom of the trash can, looking for a way out. Yeah, he was very much alive alright! I asked my husband to escort the snake outside and release him back out into the yard somewhere. He took the can outside, and brought it back a few moments later.
I washed the cookie sheet with hot soapy water, but I suspect that every time I bake cookies in the future I'll be thinking about that snake. And I am wondering what will be the NEXT critter to be dragged into the house through that doggie door!

A sari / saree is the traditional female garment in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. A sari is a very long strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine metres in length, which can be draped in various styles. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff. The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the south india, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be "backless" or of a halter neck style. These are usually more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions.
The most common style of draping a sari is wrapped around the waist and the bust then one end is draped over the shoulder. However, the sari can be draped in several different styles, though some styles do require a sari of a particular length or form. Click here for more details

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
MrEvers is a red fox from Ghent, Belgium. His full name is Alex Evers and he was born in Turnhout, Belgium, in 1986.
Today, he is perhaps best known for his beard and handlebar moustache, as well as his often dandy way of dressing. Since he doesn't differentiate between himself and his fursona, these features and mannerisms, as well as his name, are all translated upon his fox persona.

Saint Bernard dogs are often depicted in media as carrying barrels of brandy around their necks, which was used to warm rescued victims from the cold. The monks of the Saint Bernard Hospice deny that this was ever used in Real Life, and instead the early depiction came from an early painting. The idea that the dogs could do this, or that a drink could even save someone from hypothermia was examined and busted by the MythBusters. Alcohol would, in fact, endanger their lives because the warming effect is caused by increasing heat flow to the extremities, which would lower the core body temperature and accelerate the onset of hypothermia, though if rescue was imminent it might have the benefit of delaying frostbite. (That said, dogs are often trained to be able to sniff and dig out people trapped by natural or man-made disasters. The handlers of the dogs often carried brandy to try to warm up the people the dogs dug up before getting them to safety, which is probably how the myth got started.) A common gag in cartoons, especially Warner Bros. and MGM cartoons, involves the dogs actually taking swigs of the brandy for themselves.
open/close all folders
- This mid 80s ad in which a man is saved not with brandy, but by Time magazine.
- Robison Oil has a St Bernard with a oil drum in place of the brandy container for their logo mascot. Seen for the product on the Saint-Bernard Rescue page itself!
- There was an ad for cold medicine in the 80s featuring this trope. The barrel, of course, held the medicine (possibly NeoCitran).
Anime & Manga
- A strange case where it can be Justified happens in one of the Doraemon movie. In that movie, Nobita and co time-travelled to the pre-historic era to stop a time-criminal who have established a personality cult of cavemen, and his temple is in a snowy mountain. A blizzard descended upon them and they fainted one by one (what where they thinking?). However, Nobita is rescued by a mammoth that dispenses a strange liquid that resuscitates him, via its flail, in the spirit of St. Bernard dogs. Later, it turns out that that mammoth is actually Time Police robot in disguise, who has been tailing the fellowship to find out the criminal's hideout.
- In Kill la Kill, the Makanshoku family's pet Gattsu sorta pulls this in episode 20. We don't exactly know the contents of his flask, however.
Comic Books
- A Donald Duck comic had Donald stranded in the mountains with his car, when eventually a St. Bernard with a barrel came to him. He chugged the liquid, only to spew it back out, because the liquor was WAY too hard for him. Then the dog pointed out that it was gasoline for the car.
- Inverted with the alien dog Sweet Boy from Saga. His owner uses him as an assassin, and the barrel around his neck sports a skull and crossbones.
Comic Strips
- In The Wizard of Id:
- In one strip, the French ambassador is lost in the snow. They send out a Bernard with gin and a poodle with tonic.
- At least once, Town Drunk Bung has resorted to getting in trouble on a mountain so that he'll be rescued by a Saint Bernard and he can drink its brandy.
- Two cartoons of The Far Side toy with the idea:
- One with a guy in an outhouse in the middle of nowhere, yelling for help, cutting to a Saint-Bernard with a roll of toilet paper around its collar (The caption is "Far away on a hillside, a very specialized breed of dog heard the cry for help.").
- Another is "Common rescue animals", featuring among others: a Saint-Bernard with a keg of brandy, a dolphin with a pair of swim trunks, a rhinoceros with car keys.
Films — Live-Action
- In the Laurel and Hardy vehicle Swiss Miss, Stan Laurel coaxes a tot of brandy from a Saint Bernard.
- After the climatic bobsled chase in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, James Bond is found by a St Bernard. Bond jokingly berates it for pawing him, telling the dog to go get the brandy instead, and make it five-star.
- In Terry Pratchett's The Unadulterated Cat, one chapter imagines what the world would be like if we'd attempted to breed cats to fit all the roles dogs take in society, with the St Bernard being replaced by the St Eric. Many lost mountain hikers have been kept warm by the sheer fury of seeing a St Eric give up looking for them and go to sleep.
- Mentioned once in the Dresden Files while Dresden is doing his thing to the villain of the book; he claims his Big, Friendly Dog Mouse is training to be a St. Bernard and asks the villain not to break his, Mouse's, heart by telling him they don't actually carry kegs.
- Played with by the Ohulan Cutash Rescue Off The Mountain Team in the Discworld tie-in Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook: while they do have a rescue dog (and a rescue dragon), the brandy barrels are around the necks of goblins. Like all goblin liquors, the brandy is made from snails.
Live-Action TV
- Police Squad!: As an unexplained sight gag, a boxer's drunk girlfriend has a pet St. Bernard with a cask of brandy on its collar.
- At one point, during episode 19 of Kamen Rider Double, Shotaro is not amused to find Philip pretending to be a St. Bernard, barrel and all.
- Alfred Hitchcock is rescued by a St. Bernard with a keg in the introduction of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "A Little Sleep".
Alfred Hitchcock "Ah! Man's best friend! And a dog!"
- In the show Topper, a perpetually drunk St. Bernard named Neil lost his life trying to save George and Marion Kerby; leaving all three to haunt Cosmo Topper.
- Mentioned but not seen in the I Love Lucy episode set in the Swiss Alps.
Print Media
- A 1949 Punch magazine cartoon. A man has a St. Bernard and several puppies, all of which wear neck casks. The man says "Of course, I only breed them for the brandy."
Real Life
- You can buy the kegs for your Saint Bernard pet, though it's not recommended you have liquid in them for hygiene reasons due to the dog's tendency to slobber. If you do, alcohol is actually a good choice due to its antiseptic qualities.
Tabletop Games
- In the Mystara setting for Dungeons & Dragons, lupins are canine humanoids, who come in various breeds. The Glantri Mountaineer is a lupin based on the St Bernard, and has Healing Hands.
- In P.D.Q. Bach's "half-act opera" The Stoned Guest, a St. Bernard appears right on cue after Don Octave says "For who can save us now?", and the cast sings its praises until they get around to discovering that the cask around its neck has been drained of its contents.
Video Games
- In the 1990s Apple Macintosh skiing game MacSki, every fifth object that the player collides with will result in him temporarily being incapacitated while a Saint Bernard trudges onscreen to rescue him.
Web Comics
- When the polar bear Doc from The Whiteboard thinks Jinx and Kasi got buried under snow he is going to be the rescue dog:
Sandy! I need the first-aid kit and the avalanche poles! Call for a medevac chopper! And find my collar with the little brandy cask!
Western Animation
- There's at least one Bugs Bunny cartoon with the Saint Bernard — but instead of sharing his brandy with others, he drinks it himself and shows up drunk at his rescues.
- In the short "Piker's Peak," the barrel contains a minibar. The dog uses the contents to mix himself a martini.
- In Cracked Ice (Tashlin, 1937), a St. Bernard uses his wares to assist an ice skater who had fallen through the ice. W.C. Squeals (a pig avatar of W.C. Fields) sees it and first feigns drowning to obtain some of the dog's booze. Failing that, he schemes to steal the flask around the dog's neck.
- There are at least two Tom and Jerry shorts with similar gags.
- In the Disney short "Alpine Climbers," Pluto falls in the snow and comes out blue and frigid. A Saint Bernard pours his keg of brandy on Pluto's mouth, and a rainbow of colors spreads from Pluto's belly to his extremities as he warms up again.
- The Mighty Mouse cartoon "A Swiss Miss" has a rhyming St. Bernard stating his mission to rescue Pearl Pureheart but failing to execute it. He accidentally uses the contents of his flask to aid Oil Can Harry, who had fallen into an icy lake.

WPBeginner thinks so. According to them, if the admin bar had a More menu, it would provide a consistent interface for users when looking for links added by plugins. Without it, plugins can determine how they will show up within the admin bar which could potentially lead to chaos if you have enough plugins installed that compete for space within the bar. I think it's a good idea as it would provide one central location for all plugin authors to place a link which would enable us to easily locate the plugins options page. Your thoughts?

A new scheme to be trialled in early 2013 is encouraging people to feel the therapeutic benefits of knitting.
East Lindsey District Council, in association with the Trinity Centre in Louth, is asking residents to pick up some yarn and join a series of group sessions to improve their mental wellbeing, the Louth Leader reported.
Taster classes will run between December 5th and 12th, before beginning properly on January 9th. Sessions will be available until February 27th at the Holy Trinity Church, giving participants the chance to learn basic stitches, casting on and off, and making simple items.
The idea behind the classes is to increase self-confidence, self-esteem and mental and social wellbeing, while reducing stress, depression and anxiety, according to the newspaper.
Part of the council's Arts on Prescription programme and delivered through the HEELERS scheme, it hopes to improve health through arts and cultural activities.
Research has previously shown that art can help to address mental health issues, including depression. Benefits have also been noted among dementia patients, as activities can help to trigger memories and have a calming influence. Arts4Dementia claim that simple activities like singing a song or getting people to discuss paintings can evoke a response in patients.
In addition to creating something positive using classic knitting patterns, the pursuit can help to give individuals a goal to focus on at a time when they may feel lost or without purpose.
Tanya Parieaux recently explained to Issaquah Press that knitting helped her get through her battle with breast cancer by taking her mind off illness.
"I had a hard time focusing on television and reading books and things, because I just keep thinking I have cancer, I have cancer, I have cancer," she stated
However, she found that knitting occupied her thoughts and allowed her to pass the time.

It[1] has already been demotivating and distracting from Mozilla's mission. How he responds to this is going to determine how really qualified he is to be CEO. I think it could end up affecting Mozilla's image permanently if not managed well, which is one of their biggest assets (Most trusted internet company for privacy)!
Two thought experiments I did personally ( I'm an atheist who feels marginalized by the pledge of allegiance including "Under God") :
From CEO perspective
I donate $1000 to a political action committee pushing to remove "Under God" from the pledge. Time passes. I got a job opportunity to lead an amazing organization. Members of the community start boycotting the amazing organization due to my donation.
From end user/employee/advocate perspective
I'm working at an amazing organization. A new CEO is appointed that's donated $1000 to make sure that we keep "Under God" in the pledge. He promises to not change atheists position in the company and continue to treat them like any other employee.
I was originally going to suggest that the CEO just donate $1000 to the other side.. but I don't think I would do that in his place. From the employee perspective, I wouldn't immediately resign or anything, but I would likely keep a wider eye towards new opportunities… What would you do in your equivalent thought experiment?

"The file you want to import is too large. Please delete some of the contacts
and then try importing the file again. "
what a sad piece of software the contacts "management" under vista / WLM is.
it looses a lot of info that outlook express "understood". and when you try
to import your contacts (yes, there are people with 8000 contacts...) then i
get the above message.
i am at a loss and can not believe how HORRIBLE the solution (or lack
thereof) is that WLM / WM / Vista offer to manage contacts, online, offline,
mian thought: it worked so nicely (and FAST!) in outlook express.
why, oh why, was the CHAOS of vista / WLM / WM introduced without any
migration help, any explanation, any support from the big boys in redmont.
so, besides the rant some questions:
how do i clean up 8000 contacts, rid them of duplicates, import them into my
windows live / hotmail account?
and, to the MS people who are listening (hopefully): BRING BACK OUTLOOK
EXPRESS. so much, much, much. much better than anything that is available
udner vista!!!

BMW X5 Angel Eyes
2 Attachment(s)
]Hi, I have 2006 BMW X5 4.8is, I changed The Angel Eyes Bulb to the LED and I Like them They Look very nice and they are visible even in the day Time, but my question is are there any one know how to make the Angel Eyes working even if the Headlights Off as you know they work with the Headlights only because I have my BMW X3 I installed the Engel Eyes on it With Special Kit so the Angel Eyes now working when ever the Key in the ignition or when ever the interior Lights ON so they running all the Time in My X3 E83 , and now I would like to do same thing in my X5 but the X5 has the factory Angel Eyes and I have No idea how to done that , so if any one have idea or Done that before can help me out with that Please , Thank you Very much.
Will probably require a bit of modding, and not sure if it's actually this simple, but find the wires from the angel eyes and connect them instead to the DRL light wires. This may throw out an error code though on your dash, and you might also lose your high-beams.
It has to be possible, but if worse comes to worse just install a button and either hide it or somehow make it look factory installed.
Did you try to explore INPA/DIS to try to find a standard solution?
I think only original options should be applied to BMW and no aftermarked or non standard buttons/gadgets :thumbup:
Just wire them to an ignition source

Thanks for all of your ideas I really appreciate that , and I didn't try no thing yet I need to find the safe way to do it I want to broke my Bimmer ,,,,,
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
have you tried coding it? and what brand are these leds?
BMW X5 Angel Eyes
check bmwcoding
there is a way to code angel eyes as only side markers (sides still function as blinkers) and angel eyes as blinkers nothing for them to just turn on when the car is on with coding. all u need to do is flip the switch one position clockwise to get the AE to turn on... i don't see the big deal.
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
wouldn't turning the switch also turn on your license plate lights as well as your tail lights?
Bulb type
Hi, Just picked up an 2004 4.8 and would like to upgrade the bulb. Is it as simple as just replacing the bulb with an LED version or is there some type of upgrade required? If its just switching the bulb, what brand/# did you select? Looks great BTW

Published: August 26, 2010 at 10:44 PMHomeschooling FTW! Take the teaching on the road with you! ;)
Epcot becomes a learning opportunity... and every adventure is an essay waiting to happen.
BTW, our latest out-of-school experience was back in early May. You can read all about it here.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 3:56 AMI'm a school teacher, and I support taking kids out for a family vacation. (Just not during state testing or end of semester exams.) As long as you give the teacher enough time to put together the assignments and make sure your child does them, why not? A week together building a strong family bond only makes my job as a teacher easier. Secure, family-supported kids = easy-to-teach students. (I'll stay anonymous though, my district is not nearly so understanding...)
Published: August 27, 2010 at 4:23 AMWe took our kids out of school for the week after T'giving in 2007 to WDW. They had their homework assignments for the week, and we would not leave the hotel until they had their homework done and checked. Also, they had to do a project about the different countries represented at Epcot, including photos of the attractions. They weren't thrilled about the homework, but they loved the Epcot presentation and improved their photographic skills. They hade to give a "show-and-tell" presentation to their classes- half of their classmates started to harrase their parents to take THEM to WDW on a field trip!
Published: August 27, 2010 at 4:35 AMIt's not something I would particularly make a habit of, but I would pull children from school to take a trip. To me, it depends on the state of your child. If they are good students, good kids, and smart enough to miss a few days, then I think its fine. My oldest is in 1st grade now, and way ahead of a lot of the stuff they are teaching because we've spent a lot of time teaching her ourselves. I'm sure that a few missed days wouldn't hurt her in the least, especially if we were to take a half hour to do her work in the evenings. On the other hand, if my child was behind in class or having trouble, I probably wouldn't do it.
Our particular school system is really down on stuff like this, to the point of being nasty and making legal threats to parents if kids miss a few days. I chalk their behavior up to dealing with too many bum parents, but the last time I checked, I had the final say in decisions about my child's education, and my wife and I aren't bum parents.
Home schooling has always been in the back of my mind too James, given the state of the public school system. On the other hand, the lack of socializing with people their age and the lack of authority figures and a social structure outside of the home makes me hesitate. Some day they'll have to deal with other people, college professors, and other bosses.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 5:22 AMMy parents took me out of a Texas elementary school in the late 70's to attend a church convention in central Florida. While there we went to Disney World (back then it was only Magic Kingdom) and I've been a Disney fanatic ever since.
As a parent I have taken my own kids out of school for the same trip to Disney World from Tennessee and recently took them to Disneyland for spring break.
A few days of school can always be made up and being able to experience Disney as a kid is really something special. Many people I've talked to who's first visit to Disney was as an adult just don't "get" Disney.
So take your kids out of school and have some fun.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 5:33 AMI don't want to sabotage this thread in any way, shape, or form, or try to convince anyone else that homeschooling is the right option - as that is a very personal choice (it is also expensive and all-consuming of your time, energy, and patience). But one thing you should almost never worry about is socialization. There are so many organizations, co-ops, and activities for homeschoolers these days, that if anything, your kids will be too socialized and you may have to pull them back a bit.
Personally, I think the effort of homeschooling is Herculean and beyond anything I personally could do - but my wife loves it, and honestly, she is very good at it. However, she researched and debated for several years before we finally pulled our kids out of school - and we have never looked back. Do your homework, make all preparation, weigh the pros and cons, but do not let socialization be much of a factor. The days of the "sheltered child" are all but over.
And another thing, while the option to take vacations whenever you want and not miss school may be a nice perk of homeschooling, do not let it be your driving factor! You still have to get your schooling in, and when homeschoolers take off for two weeks to go to Orlando in early May, guess what they end up doing in June when all their public school friends are playing in the summer sun... yep, that's right, more schooling. You've gotta get your lessons done sometime!
Published: August 27, 2010 at 7:00 AMMy parents did it with me, and in three weeks we are taking our first grader to Disney World. I had to actually fill out some paper work to get an approved abscence for him. After having such a rough summer ( I had major surgery and was out of doing anything from May until the end of July), we need a nice getaway for our family. I am going to have his school work ahead of time and his teacher feels that there is no problem with this. I also tried to bump up our dates with a week that has teacher inservice so that he wouldn't miss that much school. Next year, I plan to do it again, but more towards Thanksgiving/Christmas.
As a former teacher (now a stay-at-home mom), I have no problem allowing students the opportunity to spend some good quality time with their parents. Many parents have to work long hours and are lucky to see their kids for a few minutes in the morning before school and before they go to bed. I have found that children who do get to spend special time with their parents are usually the ones that behave well and make good grades. Children need that time.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 8:41 AMMy daughter missed four days for our trip to WDW last May. For me, the trade-off is completely worth it. We won't go in peak season- the crowds kill it for me. I'd probably feel differently if she wasn't a really great student, though. I was confident, as was her last teacher, that missing the days would not negatively impact her at all. The schools here hate it when people miss for trips, though- in this state (NY), there's no such thing as an "excused absence" for a family vacation. I want to plan another trip for spring, but I'll have a harder time this year- more standardized tests (4th grade), and the only time we can go would be sandwiched between two rounds of state testing. Regardless of her good grades, I think the teacher may have a problem with our timing this year....
Published: August 27, 2010 at 9:10 AMAs a kid, my parents always took us to WDW during the low season, and I enjoyed it very much!! I would totally agree to do it, as long as the kids dont have much trouble at school, and if it isnt during exams - end of term periods!! Why not?? Family time is always a first for me!!
Published: August 27, 2010 at 9:20 AMWe have taken our daughter out of school every October for the past 10 years to enjoy a week in WDW. This is a great time to go since crowds are smaller and weather is nicer. Furthermore, the experiences she has absorbed and the bonding time together as a family have been critical in her learning and development. Too bad the school district does not feel the same. Here in SC they will fail a student for missing more than 10 days of class. I understand why they do this - to address those children and parents who do not care. However, that does not pertain to our family. Our daughter is in honors classes and grades are maintained at a B or better level. We do not abuse the system. Shool districts should address this situation on a case-by-case basis. Anyway, that is another story. I encouorage pulling children from school to visit Disney since the week or so they spend at Disney will not only promote family bonding but they will learn way more than they could have during a month of school.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 9:22 AMI wish parents with children would do what we did when ours were younger. Go when school is out!!!! Leave the parks to us empty nesters to enjoy with the shorter lines and pleasant weather.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 9:32 AMThe curriculum at public schools in California is simply too intense to miss more than about a week's worth of school days during a semester, so I definitely wouldn't make this a habit. (Our district's attendance policy also explicitly mentions "visits to theme parks" as something not meriting an excused absence. Makes me laugh every time I read it. I'm such a bad influence!)
At the same time, the school year after state STAR testing in mid-May tends to become a blur of time-wasting activities as we play out the clock until the end of term in mid-June. That's the time of year we target for a short, get-away vacation every few years.
Unfortunately, as Florida schools are out by then, it's not a good time to hit up Disney World. So we tend to end up someplace like New York City instead.
When I was a kid, going to school in Indiana, my parents took us out for Florida trips a few times. But then, I could leave school there for a couple of weeks and not miss much: We didn't learn nearly as much as my kids are learning in the California public schools now. (We've got kids here taking geometry in 8th grade. Kids did that in 10th or 11th grade in Indiana.)
Published: August 27, 2010 at 10:11 AMWe skip school for a week every year for a family vacation, usually in February since we have 3 birthdays around the same time. The excuse forms are obnoxious, always wanting to know the educational benefit of the vacation. So when we went to Disneyworld we wrote that the educational aspects were "experiencing world cultures (epcot), interacting with animals and caretakers (animal kingdom), learning about customer service, up close learning about theatre and the arts (magic kingdom and hollywood studios)". The office never guessed it was a vacation to Disenyworld and we got a huge laugh out of it.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 10:37 AMMy parents did that with me. However, I myself don't plan on raising children.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 11:06 AMI agree with Dave. Go when the kids have off. It seems they're off half the year anyway with Summer Vacation, Winter Break, Spring Break, and Holidays I have never heard of. Give the adults with no kids a chance to enjoy the parks sans people under 18. Disney should have adult only week :)
Published: August 27, 2010 at 11:16 AMI take my children out every Feb. the weather is cooler less crowds as well as it being cheaper time a year to go and since I have four kids and we stay a full week at disney that counts.The school doesn't like it they say it is bad for our kids social abilities and learning.I find it funny since most of the public school teachers could not find their behinds with two hands and a map let alone know what is best for my kids I will continue to take my kids during this time so they can enjoy the parks with less crowds and nicer weather.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 12:48 PMYes it's absolutely worth it. The time spent betweent the child and his or her parents is so wonderful and a lot more important than working out the Pythagorean Theorem or finding out who invented the cotton gin.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 1:03 PMI have a special needs son so a trip to WDW, for example, is considered an excellent Life Experience. It is stimulating for him to be with his loving family 24 hrs a day experiencing new sights, sounds, and textures. If it is the case for him then, in my opinion, it is equally valid for his normal sister. No question. One week at WDW equals 3 months elsewhere.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 1:25 PMEvery May I take my daughter to Orlando for one week…..We have been doing this for 6 years now…
If she has good grades – we go….. The school also has to sign off on her leaving for a week… Every teacher has to agree. Plus we have to make up the work….. And she happily makes up any missed work after a beautiful week Orlando…
You are only a child once and these memories we create are forever…
Published: August 27, 2010 at 2:57 PMI'm all for taking kids out of school for vacation. I completely believe in making a lesson out of wherever you are, and while the kids would be missing lessons, they would be responsible for making up their missed classtime and get additional lessons on the vacation. I think it's absurd that parents feel the need to ship their families on vacation during the summer when everyone and their brother is on vacation, and an offseason vacation is often much more productive, quiet, and can be infinitely more educational.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 4:58 PMI did that once days after spring break in late April, 1997 - it was worth missing school just to see the 25th anniversary events at Walt Disney World! I was 7 back then, and enjoyed it!
I'm on the same boat with those who favor taking their kids out of school for their summer vacations. I bet my bottom dollar that it would be a benefit for especially autistic children, who cannot tolerate heavy crowds and long lines. Also, their special-education centers are very flexible with schedules, so it's easier for the parents to request any make-up work made after the trip.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 4:58 PMEven though school is very important; not all lessons of life are learned in a classroom. Whenever i did take my son out to go to the parks there was alwys new lessons to be learned. patience, math skills, observation, etc.
Published: August 27, 2010 at 7:26 PMWhen I was nine, I got out of school in January (on a Thursday) for the Passholder Preview of Expedition Everest. The lines for it were like the lines I experienced at Freestyle Music Park last year. About a week or two later, on the Monday after Super Bowl XL, my mom (a HUGE Steelers fan) took my siblings and I to the Magic Kingdom for the Steelers parade.
Published: August 28, 2010 at 12:22 AMI will always take my kids out during school time not exam time though,my husband has limited time off during the year and can only grab holidays last minuite so for us its not really an option.my kids get so much out of the theme park trips but most of all they get happiness and i dont mean spoiling them which is the most important thing because happy kids grow up to be happy grounded adults fact.we are on our countdown for the next trip which starts early nov 2010 yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Published: August 28, 2010 at 7:10 AMWe homeschooled two through high school, and when we lived in FL, we made frequent trips to Orlando for both WDW's and Sea World's tremendous educational experiences.
OK, not really, we just took mid-week, low season breaks to take advantage of the low crowds, lower prices, and great weather. But being homeschoolers, it was easy to time shift the teaching schedule by working thru the traditional public school break periods, and packing subjects into daily or weekly instructional periods. So our kids got the best of both worlds, and we had less hassle in the parks.
Published: August 28, 2010 at 7:50 AMAs a Student, Missing just one day of school is a major inconvenience, I have never missed more than 2 days at a time, and I can't imagine how hard it would be makeup all the work I miss.
Ordinarily, I would never miss school to go to an amusement park, but ironically my school's robotics team has plans to go to Disney's robotics competition (and the parks too).(and I miss 2 days of school)
Published: August 29, 2010 at 6:30 AMSpring Break is not nearly as crowded as everyone thinks. Not every school is out at the same time and college kids head to the beaches. Our school system also has a "Fall Break" towards the end of October, about the same time as "British Invasion"[*]. Since there are usually decent three-letter room discounts during those two periods, there is little reason for me to pull my kid out of school for a family vacation. For me it seems like it would be too much hassle to get the approvals and disrupt the rhythm of the school year just to save a couple bucks and be able to walk-on every ride (you can practically do that in October). I just take advantage of the normal "breaks" offered by the school system and various room/ticket discount programs.
* - Wife - "I like British Invasion [at WDW]. They know how to queue!"
Published: August 29, 2010 at 8:52 AMIn the UK, it is now illegal to take kids out of school and the councils are fining parents who do so, which is a bit of a barrier...
Published: August 30, 2010 at 1:14 PMI was never taken out of school for a theme park trip as a kid, but lots of my classmates would go to Disney during the NJ Teachers convention (or "Jersey Days" as I believe it's known in Orlando) and parents would either take the kids out of school for a day or two before or after the four day weekend to get a proper trip out of the deal.
I no longer live in NJ, but I would absolutely consider doing something like that when (if?) I have kids.

My research
interest covers a wide area in Indian medicinal and economic plants
including study of genetic diversity and chromosome constitution
as associated with difference in chemical contents, in vitro
propagation and conservation of recalcitrant species, and enhanced
production of secondary metabolites in vitro and through transgenesis.
In Urginea indica, Indian squill, along with success in micropropagation,
chromosomal diversity has been correlated with bufadienolide content
of selected genotypes. Methods have also been developed for rapid
propagation of species of Ruscus, Bowiea, Smilax, as well
as in Tea and Cashew nut- the two plantation crops. In Ipecac,
technique could be devised to overcome recalcitrance and production
of alkaloid in cell and root culture. Our efforts for continuous
production of pharmaceutically important bioactive compounds utilizes
in vitro culture system as cell factories instead of destruction
or disturbance of natural flora for maintaining the biodiversity
of our indigenous medicinal plants
Methods for
enhanced and stable production bioactive compounds such as forskolin,
withanolides, colchicine, artemisinin , tyophorine and bacoside
have been developed in selected genotypes. We have established method
for production of taxol and its precursor molecule in tissue cultures
of Himalayan yew, Taxus wallichiana. We have developed transgenic
cell and organ cultures as well as transgenic plants in a number
of rare, endangered indigenous medicinal plants for production of
high value pharmaceuticals. Our recent research was focused on developing
an innovative process for the production of podophyllotoxin. in
cell culture of Indian Podophyllum.
While our primary
objective is to increase the production of pharmaceuticals in Indian
medicinal plants using chemical and genetic means, our more immediate
objective is to test the hypothesis that an indirect genetic approach
can be taken to stimulating metabolite production: this consist
of inserting a gene encoding a fungal protein elicitor into the
plant genome.

What to do this Festive Season? A tough one. Because in London you are truly spoilt for choice, especially this time of the year. Here are my ten suggestions for what to do during the coming Festive Season.
Be warned though, my suggestions do not revolve around the Biggest Christmas Tree, or the most interesting Christmas carols. They are just common sense suggestion that most may not get around to doing during the year. And some of them are 'children friendly'. My list also includes events voted for by the public in a recent poll conducted by Time-Out.
Number one was:
The Natural History Museum
You'd imagine this is a favourite among fuddy-duddies. Not so. The museum, housing fabulous creatures such as dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters, is a big hit with kids! And it's not expensive either. It is a must. No wonder it's been rated so highly.
Where: On Exhibition Road, South Kensington,
The Science Museum
I don't know if this is your bag, but maybe it should be. See the science museum and die, forget about Venice. They also have a sense of humour: on the fourth floor the Psychology section is advertised as: – Mind Your Head. This museum is one of London's Big Three museums and, as it happens, it's also a hit with kids. It was runner up in the Time-Out poll.
Where: On Exhibition Road, South Kensington
Vinopolis: London's Wine Tasting Destination
If you love discovering and tasting new wines, then you will be spoilt for choice at Vinopolis, with their extensive range of wine tasting tours Set under the soaring arches of a former railway Viaduct, Vinopolis offers wine and spirit enthusiasts just about everything. You can also buy a last-minute Christmas gift here. Or just simply quaff a huge number of glasses with the excuse that you simply cannot take the stress of Christmas any longer.
Where: Vinopolis is located at Bankside, to the east of Southwark Bridge and close to London Bridge on the south side of the River Thames. There is an attached restaurant, Cantina Vinopolis,
The Lion King
Tim Rice and Elton John's magical musical The Lion King won six Tony Awards on Broadway, received the Evening Standard Award for Theatrical Event of the Year and has also been nominated for eight Olivier Awards. A smash hit and a truly magical experience, Julie Taymor combines Eastern traditions with haunting African chants presenting animals as shadows, on sticks, on stilts, on bicycles.
Where: At the Lyceum Theatre, West End in the City of Westminster, on Wellington Street, just off the Strand.
An Ideal Husband
London is surely the traditional home of theatre in the West, and Oscar Wilde the master of acerbic wit. It's a brilliant story of morality, blackmail and political corruption infused with sparkling humour.
Where: At the Vaudeville Theatre West End on the Strand in the City of Westminster
The legend lives on, moonwalking its way into the hearts of audiences. Don't miss this high-octane show. Amazing choreography …You will never be the same. A five-star performance featuring the songs of music legend, Michael Jackson.
Where: The Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster.
Beauty and the Beast
In the achingly beautiful landscape of a snowbound rural France, a tale is told of dancing ghosts and talking clocks, magical roses and mystical mirrors, beguiling beauties and beastly jokes. And a talking French Poodle.
One of the world's most enchanting fairytales is brought to life in the country's most loved pantomime venue…
With non-stop giggles from beginning to end, stunning costumes, rip-roaring songs.
Where: The Broadway Theatre, Catford Broadway, Catford, Greater London
Koffman's Restaurant
Koffmann is the chef of chefs, the chef all other chefs look up to. For many years, his restaurant, La Tante Claire, London's only restaurant with three Michelin stars, was a place of gastronomic pilgrimage.
Koffmann's brasserie food is stunning but unfussy. It has also received rave reviews from food critics.
Where: In The Berkeley, Wilton Place, Knightsbridge, London
Mamma Mia!
This is the show described by The Daily Telegraph as a 'World-wide Smash hit. It certainly must be the ultimate feel good show. And it has stunned over 45 million people all around the world. A great show to make you forget about snow! Need I mention that it is based on the fabulous, timeless songs of Abba?
Where: Prince of Wales Theatre, Coventry Street, London
Greenwich Market, London
Always known for antiques and crafts, Greenwich Market is open seven days a week in the run up to Christmas. More than 150 stalls will sell fashion, handmade jewellery and stocking treats. Perfect for a twist on tradition.
Where: King William Walk, London
Although shows are usually booked out months in advance, it is more often than not possible to get last minute tickets because of cancellations. Going on-line just makes it easier.

text: The Associated PressAmong the earnings stories for Monday, Nov. 9, from AP Financial News: Chindex International Inc., which sells medical products in China, said its second-quarter profit fell as revenue remained flat and taxes rose. Independent oil refiner Tesoro Corp. said its net income tumbled 87 percent as lower energy prices cut away at margins. Liberty Media Corp., the conglomerate controlled by John Malone, posted a rise in third-quarter revenue at its two largest businesses, helped by better home-shopping sales and results from the Starz cable channels. Industrial automation company Rockwell Automation Inc. said fiscal fourth-quarter profit fell 77 percent, as revenue dropped and the company recorded restructuring charges.

I am so happy I went to see Dr. Rapp I would compare him to a great detective. I was referred by my pulmonary doctor, as a second opinion. He went over all of my many drug sensitivities one by one. He Listened to my story, he took the time to call the radiologist even though he had the report because my lungs sounded clear. He then called my Pulmonary Doctor and said, he didn't feel he wanted to give me drugs or I should be hospitalized. He did more blood work, which I have yet to hear back on. The only downside was the phelbotomist from his office who is not easy to deal with, she does it her way with an argument. Other than that, I only have words of phase.
In my opinion, Dr Rapp is probably the most unprofessional doctor I have ever visited. On my first appointment he left me with many unanswered questions. He basically let me sitting in a room while he ran around from room to room seeing other patients. Very poor bedside manners! His office staff is also very unprofessional. The Phlebotomist who took my blood forgot to draw everything that was ordered. She called me back into the room to take my blood again as I was walking. I've requested all my medical records to be returned to and at this point they can't find them. Also, there was a huge mix up with my insurance even though I call Dr Rapp 2 weeks before to discuss my insurance concerns. He later apologized and followed up with an email addressing some of my concerns. He also stated that he had to pick up the slack for another doctor that was out that day.
Dr. Rapp ignored my concerns, even though I had numerous infectious disease symptoms simply because I kept having false negative test results. He may be nice and kind, but he was completely ineffective as an infectious disease physician in my case and his dismissing of my infectious disease symptoms almost cost me my life. (Records available upon request).
Jeff Rapp, MD is the kind of doctor who gives you the time like an old fashioned doctor did in the past. His practice is limted to ID medicine, but if you have an illness in this area, he's the best to see. He goes out of his way to help his patients get better [me included] and actually saved my life when I became acutely ill. He's easy to reach and responds back promptly. He's very approachable, kind, seems to be a genious in his field and has this nice calmness about him that helps a patient relax when they are anxious and nervous. There are many good doctors out there but Jeff Rapp, MD, is exceptional.

Errata available: ravelry.com
Minor Errata:
- Toe Stripe Pattern has colors A and B reversed.
- Leg, eliminate Round 4; after Round 4 should read: Redistribute stitches so that a multiple of 6 is on each needle.
- Rib Transition Round should begin: Continuing with A.
- Rib, second paragraph should read: Redistribute stitches so that a multiple of 4 is on each needle.
- Heel Decreases, Knit the first 3 rounds even in B, before starting to follow the heel stripe pattern.
Photos in the book on pages 11, 76, 80, 81. Details are best viewed on page 80. Just check out that heel!
These fun socks use three colors to spice up their looks. Only nine rows of two-color knitting in the whole sock, but that does the trick. The rest of the color is simple stripes, with yarn carried up the back to avoid working in ends.
Toe up, starting with a rectangle toe. Afterthought heel with an unusual decrease pattern. They fit great, but as with many afterthought heel socks, they look odd off the foot.
If you take a look on page 80, you will notice that even without a specially-shaped arch detail, they are snug under the foot.
