Ethnic issues are used to undermine Russia
International problems will attempt to use to undermine Russia from within
September 30, 2014, 21:50
Text: Peter Akopov
Printable version
After the "Russian spring" nothing will be the same. The blood that was shed for the unity of the Russian world in the new Russia, and the conflict with the West will accelerate changes in both external and domestic Affairs. In the first place – in international relations. Because it is potentially the most explosive topic, as evidenced by recent events in the Moscow and Caucasian mineral waters.
Russian national feeling escalated to the limit – trying to tear Ukraine away from Russia has become a serious challenge for the whole country. Both Putin and the people took up the challenge – the ongoing confrontation with the West and the civil war in Ukraine with the participation of our volunteers has raised the degree of public sentiment and exacerbated a sense of justice, and so are main for our people.
The struggle for the new Russia now has moved from the military to the political plane – and after a few months of the war in the Ukraine, when all the attention of Russian society was occupied only what is happening in the Donbass, the political themes again come to the fore. And the most difficult and painful of them – ethnic relations. Two videos have caught late last week on the Internet, showed how easy it is to escalate the ethnic situation.
One of them – the incident on Friday in Moscow near the mosque on Bolshaya Tatarskaya street. Young Caucasian was detained by Riot police after he had driven his car onto a police officer – for refusing to obey the police, he was handcuffed and placed in police standing in the same bus. After Friday prayers, a large crowd of Muslims surrounded the bus, outraged that the detention of their "brother beat". Although then one had been in the bus said that he was not beaten, but only tightly twisted, the crowd, not paying attention to it, still demanded the release of their co-religionist.
After the cries of "Allahu Akbar!" were heard grows fiercer, and the bus entered a few excited "liberators" and there was a real threat of assault, riot police were forced to release the detainee – several police still have not been able to do against thousand crowd excited. The guy ran off, without even taking off his handcuffs.
An obvious violation of natural law has caused outrage online – moreover, all too reminded of last year's story of the attack on the police near the Metropolitan MATVEEVSKOE market (then Caucasians also trying to recapture his detained relative, with the result that he crushed the head of the police). The reaction of the authorities was, however, quick enough – on Sunday evening, the Metropolitan police Department announced that "all the troublemakers who resisted the police were detained, and in respect of them in accordance with protocols drawn up by the court, the decision on administrative arrest, and in respect of two persons criminal case under article "violence against a representative of authorities".
Second video was from the hospital Mineralnye Vody – on recording camera footage shows that the crowd of almost forty people breaking into the emergency room, after being there a guy literally clog feet. In the night of Monday hackneyed – Petersburger Andrey Larionov – died, and the day of the Stavropol police announced the arrest of the most active of the beating, a native of Minvody Andranik Tsakanyan. Earlier, four were detained partner and established the identity of most attackers.
Even before the death of Larionov several hundred people staged a rally in front of the police in Mineralnye Vody – they are required to detain all participants of an attack and to deal with the lawlessness of the Caucasian Diaspora. Deputy chief of police region Vadim Means tried to calm the crowd, saying that this is a domestic conflict between inebriated people, in which the part of the attackers was attended by representatives of at least three nationalities.
Indeed, the incident began with the fact that in one of city cafes, local Cossacks and Armenians had a physical altercation with Larionov and his companion, which previously conducted any commercial negotiations – as a result the friend received a bottle on the head, and carried him to the hospital caught up with Larionov already there. But the story took place in the beginning of last week – and before the video of the beating appeared on the Internet, no arrests were made. Locals explained by the fact that the attackers were associated with the police (security forces deny themselves), and the fact that "all Caucasians". The Russians immediately arrested, and these begin to understand only when it becomes impossible to hide – that's the essence of the claims that people expressed at the meeting in Mineralnye Vody.
Why did the authorities allow the situation, when someone needs to feel impunity and permissiveness? The issue in connection with inter-ethnic problems sound not for the first time. Blame in any case, the authorities – because it is responsible for the observance of the law. It does not matter, at the household or ethnic grounds clashes – in the current of history in Minvody the occasion and in fact was not a national – most importantly, how they are perceived by the society itself. And if such a conflict becomes a cause for claims to national politics in a particular city, region or country – so this should speak. And if society is clearly unhappy with the behavior of law enforcement – so the problem is not in society, and in the actions of the authorities.
The consequences of mistakes of the authorities in this subject can be disastrous for everyone, because ethnic conflicts – this is a bomb that will try to blow up in our country. Understanding that the ethnic issue will heat up as opponents of the authorities and Putin within the country and external forces interested in the collapse of Russia, should lead not to gloss over the topic, but rather to be honest and responsible conversation about the contradictions and problems, to finding ways of their mitigation and solution.
In Minvody the police behavior was absolutely outrageous – and their inaction, it makes a huge contribution to the aggravation of the severe inter-ethnic situation in Stavropol. The huge growth of the Caucasian Diaspora (especially Armenian) in the region in the post-Soviet years, and most importantly – they occupied a prominent position and "bread places" (of course, through the replacement of Russians), combined with a disregard for local mores and customs – all this is a natural resentment of the indigenous Russian population. The authorities of the neighboring Krasnodar region have called Stavropol "revolving door" – but it is dangerous not only for the South of Russia, but for the whole country. In the case of the detainee's release at a Moscow mosque, the police acted correctly – opened the crowd nothing can be explained, and forces to disperse it was not (the help just did not have time to come). To release the detainee meant to save lives – both police and the attackers. But after that it was necessary to quickly and harshly punish the instigators and the Moscow police did. Let's hope that she began to search for them before the video is widely spread on the Internet and came to the head of the interior Ministry or the security Council.
The punishment should be harsh and public – as it was in the case attacked the police on Matveyevskoye. And the Caucasian Diaspora, as the Muslim clergy (which, however, has already made a calming statement), must understand that they are the first interested in curbing the radical part of their flock and to explain her need to restrain a sense of entitlement, accustoming her to the fact that the respect for state laws and social mores and values of the Russian people and its way of life is essential to their own security and freedom of movement throughout Russia.
This is especially true for the capital – although in recent years the Diaspora are somehow trying to affect too aggressive representatives of their own youth, and authorities have become less prone to corruption, still interethnic situation in the capital continues to be difficult. To blow up Moscow, and then – and the country, in fact the only possible way – by triggering large-scale ethnic conflict.
To outline his script very easily. The murder of another Russian guy visitors is superimposed on another illegal release from liability any representative of the "Golden Caucasian youth" and the rape of the girl by migrant workers from Central Asia – all this unwinds both media and bloggers (like honestly Patriotic, and "bulk"), then pretending to be "Russian nationalists" fighters against the regime accuse the government of inaction and indulging in "lumps". And begin the real Russian riots – evicted all because got.
The people will be right in his anger – and then it will be too late to explain that it's not just magnate, but in the corruption (it is, of course, plays a huge role – but when wounded national feeling, and indignation against her fades into the background) that "we work", and "all will be punished". The skillful hands of the manipulators of public opinion, the revolt is directed not only against minorities but also against the government – this, indeed, will be the main goal of those who want to overthrow Putin, presenting him as "the protector of those who oppressed Russians."
Not to say that the government does nothing: the Federal centre has been actively set up local authorities that they should pay close attention to interethnic relations that is the area of their responsibility that they should be the first to notice any potential problem areas – this was Putin said last year (at the same time it was decided to establish a special monitoring interethnic situation in the regions). In Moscow, after the incident on Matveyevskoye started to clean the markets and national criminal groups, strengthened anti-corruption purge in the police. But after the beginning of Ukrainian events, the very topic of inter-ethnic relations left in the shade – and many even enjoyed it, saying that its value is greatly exaggerated, exaggerated by the press, nationalists and antiputintsami.
But she hasn't gone anywhere – just the new Russia overshadowed everything. Now international problems will again fall on the agenda – more and more often. As because they have really a lot of pain points (both cultural and social, both economic and corruption) and because they will play those, whom Putin called the fifth column. With one hand (using pseudo-patriots) they will accuse Putin of delivery of the Russian world, the betrayal of Novorossiya and the other to indicate ethnic sores, to wave them at every opportunity, accusing Putin in support of national minorities and the unwillingness to curb migration, in disregard of the interests and demands of the Russian people. Carving a spark – in the hope that the cry of popular indignation fanned the flames from it.
Not to give them a chance on this, the government needs not only to defend the interests of Russians to return to Russian civilization, to nationalize and to decriminalize its own ranks from the bottom up (Yes, corruption goes hand in hand with betrayal of the interests of their own people, not only in the geopolitical altitudes, but also at the municipal lowlands), but also not to suppress any uncomfortable incident, and honestly and directly to speak about their causes, about the ways of their solution. Everything that returns the Russian faith in the fairness of government and a sense of ownership in their land.Related posts:

Adele and long term partner planning engagement
Adele and her long term partner are thinking about getting engaged.
The 28-year-old singer and Simon Konecki have been in a relationship for five years and share four-year-old son Angelo together, but it now seems they're finally ready to take the next step and put a ring on the 'Someone Like You' hitmaker's finger.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "They've decided it's the right time to think about making that step [to getting engaged].
"They won't make a big song and dance about it, that's not the way either of them are, and you won't see Adele walking around with a huge diamond on her finger flaunting it.
"But they're ready to take the next step and both very excited about the prospect.
"Adele has had an amazing time on tour and is enjoying performing to fans - but she's looking forward to spending some quiet time at home with her family after 10 months on the road."
The news comes just weeks after the charity boss surprised the 'Hello' singer at her concert in Nashville, Tennessee, when he wrote personalised messages on pieces of pink confetti to celebrate their fifth anniversary.
Meanwhile, the 'Rolling in the Deep' musician recently revealed she would like another baby, as her womb is starting to "ache" now that Angelo is getting older.
She said: "My son is about to turn four very, very soon.
"I'm starting to get very emotional about it because I feel like once they turn four, they're not really your actual baby anymore.
"So my womb is starting to ache a little bit. It's like, 'Baby, baby, baby. Need a baby, need a baby'. I'm not pregnant. I won't get pregnant until the end of the tour."

It is a known fact that Ilayathalapathy Vijay will be joining hands with director Atlee of Raja Rani fame for his 59th film once he finishes his current project, Puli. An interesting piece of information that's been doing rounds pertaining to Vijay 59 is that an ace director has been approached for a prominent role.
Veteran director Bharathiraja who has given some wonderful films to Tamil cinema has been approached for an important role in Vijay 59 according to reports. It is to be noted that Bharathiraja has been featured in many films before as an actor and has proved his acting abilities.
His performances in films like Aayutha Ezhuthu and Pandianadu were praiseworthy. It only remains to be seen if the famed filmmaker-actor gives his consent to be a part of Vijay's 59th movie. Bharathiraja's presence in such an important movie will only boost its popularity.
Meanwhile, in the sets of Puli, comedian Imman Annachi is said to be having a torrid time with lots of kids around him as he is playing the chief for a gang of notorious kids. It is also said that Vijay himself picked Imman Annachi for this particular role after being impressed with Imman's performances in some of his recent flicks.
Puli is touted to be a fantasy entertainer which boasts of a tremendous star cast. With the shooting of the film moving at a rapid pace, it is expected that Puli might indeed roar by the end of this year. Stay tuned for further updates.

On February 12, 2017, the NYC Mayor and the NYC City Council Speaker announced that they are committed to passing legislation mandating universal access to legal representation for low-income tenants in housing court!! This will mean that tenants no longer have to fear unjust evictions. This will mean that tenants no longer have to fear eviction as retaliation for organizing in their buildings or holding their landlords accountable. This will mean that we have more tools to fight gentrification. This is a victory for all of New York.
This landmark agreement sends a strong message to NYC tenants that their lives, homes and communities matter, that the City won't stand by as they are forced to navigate the courts without representation and that they will be protected. This is a huge step forward towards creating a more equitable and just city.
It is also a testament to the power, strength and beauty of organizing. ¡Si se puede, si se pudo y si se podrá!
Thank you to everyone who is a part of and who has supported the #RTCNYC Coalition! Thank you to our bill sponsors Councilmembers Levine and Gibson for pushing this through.
However, we still have a lot of work to do. The bill still needs to be voted on and signed into law. As a coalition we developed a set of guiding principles that we believe should guide the final negotiations as well as the implementation. You can see the principles here in English and here in Spanish and a list of who signed on to the principles here.
We are working hard to make sure that the legislation is passed and implemented in a way that upholds our values of justice and equity and builds tenant power in NYC.
Want to get involved? Email Susanna at email@example.com. Click here to donate now!
Overview of the RTCNYC Coalition:
The Right to Counsel Coalition of NYC is made up of tenant organizing groups, tenant advocates, law schools and legal services organizations. We are working together to ensure that our city's housing courts are a place of fairness, justice and equity. We do not support forced displacements that can and should be prevented and we believe that safe and affordable housing is central to our city's future. We are working on establishing a right for New York residents to be represented in housing court by licensed, qualified and experienced attorneys when they go to housing court to defend their rights.
- 65% of New Yorkers are Renters
- Close to 300,000 New Yorkers are brought to Housing Court every year to fight an eviction.
- 97% of all cases in Housing Court are initiated by landlords
- Nearly 22,000 families, including older adults, were evicted in New York City in 2015. At least half of them wouldn't have been evicted if they had an attorney.
- 90% of landlords have attorneys in Housing Court while 70% of tenants don't.
- 62,000 people are in NYC's shelter system.
- Eviction is a leading cause of homelessness.
- At least 30% of all tenants evicted last year were evicted from a Rent Stabilized Apartment
In 10 years, none of us will be thinking about the cost of funding a Right to Counsel. In 10 years, we will be devastated by the consequences of denying this right to New Yorkers. Right to Counsel is an investment in our city's future. Right to Counsel is a statement about our commitment to a diverse, equitable and vibrant city.
At the first hearing on the bill on Monday, September 26th, 2016, both the steps of city hall and the chambers were filled to capacity as people waited hours to get inside and to testify, demonstrating both the widespread support for the bill and the determination of its supporters. After 7 hours of testimony, 80 people testified, 78 in support, including former Chief Judge Lippman and the Bronx and Manhattan Borough Presidents, 2 neutral and 0 in opposition. Recent press has started to talk about Right to Counsel as a reality in the near future and the NYT editorial board recently endorsed #RTCNYC! The time is now for New York to become the first city in the nation to have a right to counsel for tenants to defend their homes.

text: A less-than-accurate "recap" of a fan incident at last night's WWE NXT Takeover Brooklyn event has been posted online, and the following is clarification as to what actually happened. Following Bayley's Womens Title victory, a couple of fans, who were seated a few rows in front of me, attempted to throw streamers which consisted of Bayley's entrance colors. They only made the attempt one time, however right after security came down and escorted the fans out into the concourse. This prompted some boos from the crowd nearby, but the fans were allowed back to their seats shortly after the incident. A brief "Yes!" chant broke out after the fans were allowed to return, but it was nothing too distracting. The entire incident spanned about 2 minutes and took very little away from the main event match. Source

10 yrs ago neighbor plants 10 baby trees against shared wood fence . Now I realize 2 of the trees are planted only 5 feet from my home and we are on a cement slab. The roots are comin under ground and under fence about to buckle my cement and go into my pool not to mention leaves are takin over my pool in winter/ fall two pool pumps have broken because of his messy foliage help . Wood fence about to bust...What are my rights he is upset with me now because I have trimmed his trees. I made my backyard no maintence but his leaves are making me do endles yard work and blocking my sun
There isn't an easy or simple solution because in California, you do not have the absolute right to cut or remove branches from your neighbor's tree. Generally speaking, you are entitled to trim the branches which overhang into your property. However, in the case of Booska v. Patel (1994) 24 Cal. App. 4th 1786, the California Court of Appeal held that a neighbor does not have the absolute right to cut encroaching roots and branches so that they end at his or her property line. You must take into account the health of the tree before you start trimming, cutting or chopping. You might be liable for reasonable costs of replacing destroyed tree with identical or substantially similar tree.

LA Phil Home Hollywood Bowl Home
In the tradition of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and Gelsey Kirkland's Dancing on My Grave, Mozart in the Jungle delves into the lives of the musicians and conductors who inhabit the insular world of classical music. In a book that inspired the Amazon Original series starring Gael García Bernal and Malcolm McDowell, oboist Blair Tindall recounts her decades-long professional career as a classical musician—from the recitals and Broadway orchestra performances to the secret life of musicians who survive hand to mouth in the backbiting New York classical music scene, where musicians trade sexual favors for plum jobs and assignments in orchestras across the city. Tindall and her fellow journeymen musicians often play drunk, high, or hopelessly hungover, live in decrepit apartments, and perform in hazardous conditions— working-class musicians who schlep across the city between low-paying gigs, without health-care benefits or retirement plans, a stark contrast to the rarefied experiences of overpaid classical musician superstars. An incisive, no-holds-barred account, Mozart in the Jungle is the first true, behind-the-scenes look at what goes on backstage and in the Broadway pit.
Note: Blair Tindall will be signing copies of Mozart in the Jungle on May 21st from 6pm to 10pm and May 22nd from 12pm to 4pm near the LA Phil Store entrance at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

I currently have a subscription- although when it comes time for renewal, I will seriously have to look at the price. I tended to supplement through Walgreens, as I think many do, when there were exceptional coupons. Unfortunately, at $3 per paper, the cost is unlikely to make the purchase worthwhile. I will be ordering more from clipping services in the future, I suspect.
Thanks for the codes and promos everyone!
marbec - it really is unfortunate that the N&O decided to raise the price of the paper. Have you tried getting a Sunday only subscription directly through the paper? Mine was around $1.35 per week when I renewed recently and paid for a full year when I renewed. One of the recent coupon codes I have seen is SC13. Not sure if it is still valid through.
Here's another code for Kelloggs Family Rewards good for 25 points: HAPPYHOLIDAYSPTS
EM2S - Thanks for the reminder about the Kroger promotion. I got yesterdays Storybook but had forgotten today's. If anyone is looking for it, it is under the promotions and not the digital coupons.
Thanks VLYNN and EM25.
rwsmith62: re artificial christmas trees. Target has $50 off $100 in their Christmas area today only and I think the trees are already marked down. One of my neighbors got one of the pre-lit ones from Target a few years ago and she loves it.
New KFR code for 100 pts is Bestsummerever4u according to Hip2save.
Marbec - You're right! ... and no more Walgreen's discount on the N&O, either! Certainly, I'm grateful for digital coupons to load to loyalty cards, individual stores mailing coupons to me, and Faye's link to printable SmartShopper coupons. Wonder how many new subscriptions the price increase will generate for the N&O verses lost customers?
KJohnson0131 and RWSmith32 - I'm sorry to be of no help to you! With a house full, I've done no Black Friday shopping or put together Christmas thoughts beyond bargain gifts found during the course of the year.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2010 (2762 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MELBOURNE, Australia -- For more than a set Tuesday night, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray came up with tennis as breathtaking and awe-inspiring as you'll ever see.
Speed, power, tactics, all-court attack, bruising rallies -- their Australian Open quarter-final had everything.
The overflow crowd at Rod Laver Arena was rapt.
Then, Nadal broke down.
He has two chronically bad knees. On this night it was the right knee, and the Spaniard was forced to retire with Murray leading 6-3, 7-6 (2), and 3-0 in the third set.
"I don't know if still playing (it can get worse) or something. So I said, 'Well, don't repeat the same mistake like I had last year. I go to the limit, but not cross the limit, no?" Nadal said after it was over.
He said the pain was as bad as what he felt last year, when he limped through the spring (despite great results), lost early at the French Open, and missed Wimbledon entirely.
But Nadal doesn't think it's the same issue. "I worked a lot. I didn't have lot of problems for the last six months. Today is the first time, no? I felt something, I think (it was) a bad movement. But not, you know, because the knee is tired. No, I think (it's) going to be OK."
Murray surely would have preferred to earn his first Australian Open semifinal berth the old-fashioned way, by earning it. But the way he hit the ball so aggressively, served and volleyed effectively to change things up, and blasted aces when he needed to save a break point, the outcome was probably the right one.
The Scot pushed himself out of his comfort zone, and he was rewarded.
"It just all happened so sudden. There was one backhand (in the game after Nadal took a medical time out, early in the third set at 0-1, 15-15 on his serve) he didn't quite run for. I didn't realize it was such a big problem. I've seen Rafa play matches where he's obviously been in a lot of pain and discomfort, and he's played on."
The first men's quarter-final match Tuesday between No. 7 seed Andy Roddick and No. 14 Marin Cilic of Croatia saw the former bounced.
Roddick had a problem with a nerve in his neck that caused numbness in two of his fingers, preventing him from having any control over his best weapon, his serve. That was a big reason he lost 7-6 (4), 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3.

Globacore, a creative technology company specializing in large multi-touch displays, has come up with an interesting marriage of Kinect and Oculus Rift. Dubbed Paperdude VR, this work-in-progress is a first-person homage to Atari's 1984 classic, Paperboy.
As demonstrated in the video above, a player rides a stationary bike and attempts to toss newspapers into peoples' mailboxes. Except for sawhorses, the current version of Paperdude VR lacks many of the distractions and dangers the original paperboy had to pedal through in the '80s.
Depending on your perspective, Paperboy tells one of two different stories: It's either about a courageous suburban paperboy dodging vicious dogs and insane old ladies seemingly hellbent on preventing the flow of news from reaching the public, or it's about an evil kid on a bike who enjoys breaking windows and damaging private property. It's open to interpretation.

Question: Jennifer Erickson was employed by Bartell Drug Company Jennifer sued
Jennifer Erickson was employed by Bartell Drug Company. Jennifer sued the company because its insurance plan failed to provide coverage for prescription contraceptives. She alleged that this was a form of sex discrimination under Title VII and a violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA). Her employer defended by arguing that its failure to provide coverage for prescription contraceptives did not violate Title VII or the PDA because contraceptives were voluntary, were preventive, and did not treat or prevent an illness or disease and because control of one's fertility was not pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition under PDA. If you were the court, how would you decide? Is failure to provide insurance coverage of prescription contraceptives a form of sex discrimination? Or pregnancy discrimination? Both? Neither? Explain the reasons for your answer.

The Nike Air Max Light probably has the highest following-to-hype ratio. We rarely hear about them in advance, but due at least in part to their often Euro-exclusive status, AMLs are among the Swoosh's top cult favourites. Here comes a new pair for spring, and despite the heavy use of black, they manage a warm feel thanks to the bright green and blue accent hits. Almost an un-Huarache OG look here with the black base instead of white, grab a pair today from JDSports.

I cruise with Carnival to celebrate my Mom's 70th birthday and my 46th birthday with friends. We had a great time. The assistant manager from the Lincoln dinner was awesome! The waiters were Awesome! Overall the ship staff and superior were awesome! However, the art auction was different.. champagne was served only once and the free art work wasn't provided on time. We had to beg for our free art work.
The cruise director was a riot! He was very sweat that event send me to my cabin a plate with strawberry covered with chocolate, carnival gold trophy and sign pictures of him. I wasn't expecting that!!
Over at the Lincoln dinning the assistant director "Alejandro" was very kind as well. For my Mom's birthday he gave us a bottle of wine which was delicious! Thank you all for all your attentions!
I really like the cruise as a whole, however the staff seem tired and not too friendly with the guest. The service was ok I'm sure it can be improve especially their attitude. My luggage was broken by the crew that took the luggage from the port to the stateroom. It was repaired but when I disembark the luggage was broken again and this time both handles were broken. Ill be emailing/calling the cruise line to see how can they help, it was a brand new luggage. Other than that, I had the beverage package which was an excellent choice. Food was great, the restaurant were awesome! I will cruise again soon!!

Review: Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2016
By Dave Shute
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ("MNSSHP") is a special, separately ticketed party that happens on certain nights every September, October and some years even early November at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
At the party you will find un-crowded rides, a special parade (shown twice, at 8.30 and 11.15p), special fireworks at 10.15p, a Hocus Pocus show, trick-or-treating, a dance party…and a ton of guests in costumes!
I had a chance to see it again in early September 2016, and the scoop follows!
(See this for more on logistics–Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates, ticket prices, etc.)
The 2016 party pretty much follows the 2015 version, continuing the changes we saw last year. The most important of those was that the parades and fireworks are more spread out, and later.
This isn't really thinning crowds in front of the Castle, mainly because the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular (photo above, and also at the top of the page), with its showtimes my date of 9.15p, 10.40p and midnight, is packing them in. (Later 2016 party dates will add a fourth show at 7.45 or 8p.) There's more on this show later in this review.
The best approach to the Party remains the same–see rides until the fireworks and watch the second parade rather than the first–but, because of the 9.15 Hocus Pocus, it may be hard to get to the hub after riding rides to see the 10p Celebrate the Magic and 10.15p HalloWishes from there.
Frankly, much as it pains me to suggest this, the hub congestion is not worth seeing Celebrate the Magic. And while HalloWishes, like all Magic Kingdom fireworks shows, is best seen from between the Castle and the Main Street railroad station, it does work really well from elsewhere in the park, because of things that happen in the finale that I'm not gonna spoil here.
So do rides until ten, find a good nearby fireworks spot, then see the characters and go trick or treating, see the 11.15p parade, and see the midnight Hocus Pocus show. A late night, but one that avoids the congestion around the Castle hub and Main Street.
Costumes are not required, and not everyone wear them. But even after the increased security that began in December 2015, they are still allowed at the party.
Above is the official Disney lingo (click it to enlarge it)–this came with my ticket, and as you can tell, no design professional saw this letter.
The most common costumes I saw in my September 2016 visit to MNSSHP were, as usual, princess costumes and pirate costumes, and after that Star Wars costumes. Lots of Princess Leia hair!
And this group in Tomorrowland proved a Disney princess theme was not required!
Besides most rides being open to short (or shorter) waits, MNSSHP has a special set of Halloween-themed activities (see above–click them to enlarge it).
For example, the parade–Mickey's Boo-to-You Parade–is seen only at MNSSHP.
It begins with a surprise–pay attention when the Cast members start to rope of the crosswalks (dampness on the streets may eliminate this first surprise).
It then shifts to with ducks and mice…
…then some pirates…
…more pirates…
…but then shortly shifts to my favorite part, Haunted-Mansion themed dancing gravediggers and ghouls.
More ghouls.
The gravedigger dance.
Soon comes candy…
…then the parade goes back to scary, ending with Disney villains!
There's two showings of the parade, at 8.30p and 11.15p, with spectacular Halloween-themed fireworks between at 10.15p.
While the fireworks are best seen from in front of the Castle with the Main Street train station behind you, this will lead you into a wildly crowded section of the park.
Because of their spectacular finale the fireworks can be seen from elsewhere in the park–you'll miss a little but gain a lot of comfort from avoiding the mobs in front of the Castle.
The Liberty Square and Cosmic Rays dance parties left last year, but there's still an outdoor Monsters-themed dance party at the thingy between Astro-Orbiter and Space Mountain.
The Hocus Pocus show is quite popular. The three sisters from the movie return…
…and call on hordes of Disney villains to help them stay.
The show includes strong songs and dances, the fun characters, and some spectacular effects. Those familiar with the movie need not get close to the stage (thought it can't hurt), but if you haven't seen it, the characters of the three sisters are much more apparent if you are closer to the stage. This is pretty easy at the midnight show, not so easy at the earlier shows.
Character meet-n-greets are all over the place–with both common and unusual characters…
…and there's also a ton of trick or treat locations, marked by lighted columns…both of which raise an issue.
All the major rides are open, and many minor rides as well. Most have very short waits–e.g. 10 minutes for Space Mountain. In our visit, only Peter Pan and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had annoying waits.
The trick-or-treat spots and character greetings, on the other hand, have pretty long lines.
So the best approach is to skip the character greetings and trick-or-treats–or delay them until after the fireworks–and spend the first part of the evening on rides.
Do rides until just before the 10.15p fireworks show and watch it.
Some families will be worn out by now. If yours has energy left, keep going with with more rides, or trick-or-treating or character meets! Then see the second (11.15p) parade and the midnight Hocus Pocus show.
I struggle with whether or not this party is worth the money for first-time family visitors who may never return.
It's quite expensive–more than $200, and even over $300 on some dates for a family of four. And it's just a five hour show (7p to midnight)–though Disney unofficially lets you in starting at 4p.
Yet the fireworks are the best Disney World offers, the parade is a hoot, the rides have short lines…and the costumes are fun!
My overall take is that for first-timers this time and money is better spent elsewhere, but that's a really close call, and for sure I'd recommend it to returning visitors!

I am planning on going to MNSSHP. Do I need to visit Magic Kingdom that day to go to the party? Or could I visit another park and then come back to MK for the party? I'd like to "double dip" if possible.
- 3 Monica { 09.08.16 at 2:13 pm }
I suggest doing a non-park activity and then entering MK at 4pm (with your MNSSHP ticket). This year we will play mini golf, walk around Disney Springs, have lunch and then head back to the hotel to get ready for the party and head to MK. We did this last year and had a lot more stamina to stay until the end of the party. This is probably even more relevant if you have young children – I think you will enjoy the experience a lot more!
- 4 Lisa { 09.09.16 at 11:04 pm }
We have tickets to go beginning of Oct with our 6 and 8 year old. Would you say that it was a 50/50 split with children dressed up. I wouldn't want them going and being the only two not dressed up, but I also don't have to travel space for costumes if I can avoid them.

Can you tell me who is available for meet and greets.. Maleficent??

5 things to know before renovating your house
Spring puts you in the mood for some cleaning and improvements. Many people also belive that this is the best time to renovate the house.
Before you step into that minefield, here are some things you should consider. Home renovating projects can be extremely disruptive to daily life. It invades your privacy, makes your home a hub of noise and chaos. At the end of it, you might not be in a mood to appreciate all the work. But a little smart planning ahead of time can make things run more smoothly.
- Organize your belongings: The hardest part about renovation is the lack of space during the process. You tend to shove everything in one room into another room, and finding things can be really painful! The ideal way to get some boxes, pack your stuff and label it before storing. If you are the really organized type, you can even make a chart on your computer listing what you put in each box, but most of us just settle for packing things in boxes and labelling them.
- Protect your privacy: Work out a schedule for the workers, and for yourself. You will be living with dust and noise for a while, and your home will be overrun by strangers. If you are renovating your living room or bedroom, figure out a time when you can take a bath or have a meal without having people around. Figuring this timing will help prep you mentally for having people around, and help you maintain the zen mode.
- Keep kids out of work area: Kids love all the activity. It is a deviation from routine, and sharp, forbidden tools make it seem more fun for them. Ensure you have activities planned outside the home for the kids. It is simpler than trying to keep an eye on them, juggling your work and answering the renovation queries. A play date or a short-term course is ideal.
- Set the scope: You may need an interior designer, an architect or a contractor — but you won't know until you decide how in-depth your remodel will be. So always set a scope for your renovation model. Make a list of all the things you want changed, and how. Set a budget that has a little bit of flexibility. When you are making a schedule, always remember to keep an additional week for any overflow of work. Since you are spending on renovations already, ensure you know what you want and buy all the things you need before the renovation is complete.
- Stick to the plan: Once you get started, it can get tempting to 'add a little more'. A small change can add several days of work and double your budget. Put away those 'inspiring' interior magazines. Stop browsing the design sites. These things should be done before you start the renovation. Once you have drawn up a plan, stick to it!

Ms. SEWELL. Mr. Speaker, with only 14 legislative days left before Congress lets out for the summer recess, I want to register my disappointment that my Republican colleagues are now willing to spend yet another hour--5 hours--for the 31st time in trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Instead of using this valuable time to put our country back on track by investing in job creation and stimulating economic growth, House Republicans have opted for divisive politics and partisan politics.
I believe enough is enough. The American people deserve better, and frankly, my constituents expect better. Not only has the Affordable Care Act been passed in both Houses of Congress and signed by the President, it was upheld by the highest court in the land nearly 2 weeks ago. By now, we should be moving forward and acknowledging the benefits of the Affordable Care Act, which the House Republican leadership cannot seem to grasp.
In my district alone, the reality is that 77,000 seniors receive affordable prescription drugs now. The reality is that 36,000 children in my district can no longer be denied coverage for preexisting conditions.
We must get back to the work of the people. I am reminded, once again, that we have 14 days left until recess. Please let's get back to the business of the House, which is getting people back to work.

The heart of sales is social interaction. For decades, sales meant treating a client to lunch or golf and paying for their drinks—all while trying to pitch them on why your greaseless widget is better than your competitor's greaseless widget. In today's world, as B2B decision-makers move 66-90% of the way through the sales funnel before they contact your sales team, it's imperative to understand how social selling empowers you to communicate with customers before they ever pick up the phone.
"Social selling" isn't just a buzzword. A recent study by Jim Keenan found that 78.6% of sales people who engage contacts on social media outperformed their peers who don't. Keenan also found that these sales professionals were 23% more likely to exceed their sales quota. After IBM instituted a social selling program, the company realized a 400% increase in sales. Social media is a proven tool, so we'll walk you through 6 strategies to connect with leads and contacts on Social Media and increase your close rates.
Social Selling Infographic by InsideView
1) Never Make a Cold Call Again
On Monday morning, your Sales Director hands you a recently purchased contact list. You see a faceless page of names, email addresses, and phone numbers and begin plugging them into your CRM. At this point, you have two options—start the long cold-calling process, or begin searching for your contacts on social media.
On average, you've got 30 seconds of a contact's time before they either decide they're interested in what you have to say, or hang up. How valuable would it be to know what they shared 15 minutes ago on Twitter or LinkedIn? Finding buzzwords, topics, or a common interest can be the key to securing an instant connection. If you have their full name, email address, and company, you can perform a quick search on Twitter or LinkedIn to see if they have active accounts.
2) Connect With Leads on LinkedIn
Social-selling isn't just about engaging with a lead before your first conversation. Once you've qualified your contact, make sure that you connect with them on LinkedIn. Here you'll find even more information about their job responsibilities, skills, and the structure of their company. Every business is unique; for instance, Marketing Directors' responsibilities vary drastically from industry to industry. Research what your contact is responsible for in their "Background" section and confirm it on your next call. "Is it true that you are responsible for MQLs and SQLs, or are you more focused on raw lead generation?" Understanding nuances about their position and company can go a long way in establishing a trusting relationship down the road.
3) Endorse Skills & Expertise on LinkedIn
After you've connected with a contact on LinkedIn, one painless (and free) way to reach out to them is to endorse their skills. On your calls, make sure you listen carefully to what they are passionate and knowledgeable about and endorse them accordingly. This is also a great tactic to keep in touch with a customer once a deal has been completed. When upsell opportunities arise, you want to make sure you've remained in touch and don't just come calling when you want more money.
4) "Like" and "Share" Their Social Updates
As you get more familiar with a contact and have connected with them on social platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter, begin interacting with their updates. Liking, commenting, and sharing their posts is an effective way to prove you are listening to them and their unique business challenges. It can also give you a lot of insight into how you should tailor your proposal or pitch. It may take some digging to find them on Social Media sites outside of LinkedIn, but your investment will reap rewards down the road.
5) Share Relevant Content With Contacts
If every one of your interactions with a client is a sales pitch, they are going to be turned off. As you develop that relationship, make sure that you are sprinkling in articles, videos, and guides that they might find useful or helpful. Gartner and Forrester conduct outstanding research materials for executives, so they are a good place to start when looking for high-level content. On Twitter and LinkedIn, it's easy to share content by including their name or handle using the @ symbol in your post.
6) Increase Retention Throughout the Sales Process
Social Media is a nimble medium that allows sales teams to engage with prospects without being overbearing. Instead of 3 emails or phone calls a week to retain attention on a proposal, it's less intrusive to share content with a contact on social media. From initial introduction to close to renewals and upsells, staying in touch with your contacts on social media means staying one step ahead of your competitors.
LinkedIn Social Selling Impact (Aberdeen 2013 Report)
Of course, these Social Selling recommendations are only effective if you are regularly active on Social Media. It doesn't look good if you have only tweeted 10 times in your life and it's only to reach out to sales contacts. Make sure to consistently post content that is relevant to your industry or that is useful for your clients. In my own social media management, I save personal posts for Facebook where I am connected only with friends and family. On Google+, Twitter, and LinkedIn, my posts are professionally focused and business-oriented.

How do I add 2015 to the Birth Date drop down menu?Asked by angiesoul on July 01, 2014 at 09:58 PM
JotForm Support
I believe that what you're using is a Birth Date Picker. Thus, there is no way to add future dates to it.
You should instead use the Date Time Picker tool, found under Quick Tools.
Hope this helps.
