Amazing! Minutes to the Magic Kingdom or Epcot! Can watch the Magic Kingdom's fireworks from the front of the hotel. Spend the day at the parks, return after dinner, and relax in the two beautiful pools. Watch the fireworks right in front. Don't need to sit on the ground on Main Street for an hour waiting for the fireworks to begin, or partake in the […] mad dash to the monorail afterwards. Have been to Disney before, but this was the first time at the Contemporary. Beautiful hotel, great customer service, Chef Mickey's, what more needs to be said. Would never stay anywhere else.

"First Night"
The first night we went to Chefs Mickyes restaurant to have dinner. Front desk was empty no signs no greeter at the front desk so we assumed it was seat yourself. Wow were we wrong, We approached the buffet and looked around before we started to grab a plate to make sure this was the place we wanted to eat at. ambiance was nice so we decided to stay. […] Then we grabbed a plate filled it with food and found a table, and then we ask a server for help with utensils and drinks. That's when we were belittled and embraced by staff. by the end of the conversation they had taken our food away and asked us to leave by the server, not even a manager came out to explain the situation. we were floored by what had just happened people all watched as this went on and again were where embraced and really belittled by this situation, we thought this could not happen here at Disney World. Anyway this is a short description of what happened. I believe this could have been handled in a different manner to say the least but it is what it is. We will NEVER go back to the CONTEMPORARY RESORT because of this. We also will not hold Disney world responsible for the actions of one restaurant. We will continue to go to Disney resorts on our annual Disney vacation. sometimes 2 time a year. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Highly convenient, great customer service."
This is a great place for families--so convenient with monorail service--we never needed a car. The staff were professional and very friendly. We were mistakenly given a room with a king bed instead of two doubles, and it was handled quickly and efficiently--all we had to do was walk to the new room because our magic bands were reassigned with a simple […] phone call. Very pleased--though rooms are expensive, the free and convenient transportation makes up for it. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

The location of the hotel is it's best quality. I booked and received one of their Garden view rooms. I didn't really feel like there was anything special about being there.

All cast members were very friendly.

We got a room with a lake view which overlooked thepool area and the lake which was beautiful, especially sunrise. Food was good. We have kids with […] allergies so every time we ordered they called a manager or the chef to take our order so we felt very comfortable as they were highly aware of cross contamination issues and related ingredients.

Stayed here on the weekend of July 28th and prior 22 years ago .. Guessing not much has been updated .. Be sure to stay in the newer tower which connects to main lobby.

Arrived at the hotel at 4:30 pm to check in and we were told that the room was not ready yet and they would text me when it was cleaned.

Prices like this for a room and you cannot get checked in until near 8:00 pm, this is clearly unacceptable! Having final got into the room we decided to move on with our Disney adventure and vowed not to let this dampen our spirits. I called the front desk in the morning to see if we could get a later check out time due to the check in problems and was told that 11:00 am is check out time and that they could not help us beyond that.

"Surprisingly disappointed"
I was surprised at how dirty a Disney hotel was: room service trays were left in the hallways for days, cafe floor and tables were always a mess (never saw anyone cleaning there), hair in the bathroom sink upon arrival. The valet stand concierge desk was quite inept. We arrived early and left our bags at the desk, when we finally got a room they never […] delivered our bags. I had to call at 11pm(we went to the park not to waste our day) when the bags were finally delivered again after waiting 30 minutes the delivery boy hung around expecting a tip. I gave him 1 dollar hoping he would complain to his boss even after I did. FYI magical express will only take you to the airport if you are checked out of your room. We were not intending on using our back to airport magical express and didn't make a reservation for it. My husband just wanted to use it to go pick up our rental car at the airport, they flat out said no...85 cdollar ab ride to the airport! But the convenience of the monorail surpassed all disappointments at the hotel. Busses at Disney take a huge chunk of time out of your day for travel. The monorail stop in the hotel was convenient and fast. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Only way to go"
Great vacation and I believe staying on the monorail line saved us a tremendous amount of time. Next time we go to Disney World we will stay on the monorail line if we can afford it. The walking distance to Magic Kingdom wasn't bad at all and we stayed at the Garden Tower which is the furthest from the park. The rooms were nicer than expected. The arcade […] room at the hotel was fun. The stores were much larger than expected. There were also plenty of dining options at the hotel. I really have no complaints about staying at the Contemporary Resort. If I can afford it I will stay in the main tower next time or the Bay Lake Tower just to be a little closer to the park or monorail. I would definitely recommend the Contemporary Resort if it is within your budget. 15-20 minute walk to Magic Kingdom. 20-30 minute monorail ride to Epcot. 45 minute+ ride on bus to other parks. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

מלון ממש טוב מאןד, עם שאטלים חינם למתחם יוניברסל ולאפקוט סנטר. אנחנו השתמשנ בשאטלים ליוניברסל בכיוון הלון בבקר אך לקחנו מונית חזרה (כ- 7 $) כי סיימנו מוקדם וההסעה יצאה בשבע וחצי בערב. מלון נקי מאוד ומסודר, יש בריכה מחוממת וגריל בר . מה שהיה חסר זה מרכז מסחרי או סופרמרקט קרוב, כי בחדר היה מטבח מאובזר והיה שווה להכין ארוחות בחדר. יש גם מכונת כביסה ומייבש, שזה דבר נפלא ומאוד עוזר. כמו כן שירות החדרים כולל החלפת סדינים והצעת המיטה + החלפת מדגבות בלבד. ניקוי החדר והשירותים הוא בתוספת תשלום של 15 $ ליום...

I'm using XP to open the Zip file as I've done hundreds of times before. I either double click the icon (which opens the Zip folder) and click "Extract all files" in the "Folder Tasks" on the left, OR right click the icon and select "Extract All..." (which opens the "Extraction Wizard"). Both fail with Apup_1_4.zip. Do I need to use a 3rd party extraction tool? I never have before and I've been doing this a loooong time (I'm an AutoPatcher newbie, not a computer newbie).
I'd prefer to stick with the solid release for now rather than the newer version.

There are 2 issues here.
The file size is wrong so you have a partial download - size=(1125238 bytes). You should get used to checking the file against a checksum if one is given, the zip file has one, check the download page.
Here's a scan run on Apup_1_4.zip - all clean.
... https://www.virustot...03750/analysis/
If Avast is complaining of a redirect, this is likely TRUE! I was contacted maybe 2 or 3 weks ago about this issue, more Google redirects, I checked them out from school and sure enough, there were at least 4 links from Google searches that redirected. I don't remember the searches but I do remember 1 or 2 pointing to the XP forums, as well the 7 forums - all redirected to spurious sites.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 09:47 PM
As for the redirect. First time I have heard of it since the last "cleaning" that was done. If I could get in contact with frank who has dropped off the radar completely I would talk to him about it.
Posted 02 January 2013 - 07:23 AM
I downloaded Apup_1_4_2.zip (with Sweeper) as suggested by Whatacrock. It downloaded and unziped without a problem. (see Fig. 1)
I then ran apup.exe (which added apup.log and temp_bin to the directory), got the list (which added temp_bin to the directory), and selected AutoPatcher Updater and AutoPatcher Engine. (see Fig. 2)
Then I hit "Next".
Updater reads "Fetching executable and Updater " and "Finished".
I click Finish and this is what the directory looks like. (Fig. 3)
and the sub-directory abup_bin (Fig. 4)
I apologize if I'm doing something extremely dumb here but where is Autopatcher.exe?

Note: Make sure you understand Sweeper before you run it!!!
No one is blaming your system or capabilities, the fact remains you got an incomplete download for v1.4 but a good download for v1.4.2. It very well could be at AutoPatcher's end, it may puke out a bad file depending on who connects to the server, you may have something running that the server doesn't like - or vise-versa.
A few things to keep in mind when running APUP 1.4.2
...notice the scripts listed when 'Get List' is clicked - don't check AutoPatcher Updater 18.104.22.168 unless you want APUP 1.4, it will (might) overwrite APUP 1.4.2. You can rename the folder (the extracted zip should create???) if you want to test, then experiment with various scripts as you please, just extract and rename \apup to whatever - \aptest. You can run multiple instances just not in the same folder.
and so on.
If you want to beta test any scripts for the cause - hit 'Options', edit the url:
... http://www.autopatch...m/releases.list
... http://www.autopatch.../releases2.list
Simply add a 2.
I'm not sure if Beta is the proper term for list2, these scripts are just as likely to be stable just not ready for primetime. There might be one more, don't remember.
I think a checkbox would be better and easier with all available scripts and a brief note of each releases list. Once you check a box the others are grayed-out, anyway...
... The AutoPatcher file (autopatcher.exe) you need is the second script - AutoPatcher Engine 220.127.116.11.

Just a note regarding releases2 ---this is just a testing area and most of the releases there are ready to be moved to the main list but remain here in case any problems arises and then repaired before moving. Some of the releases are all signed just in case that you need to run sweeper for removal of rogue module files or executables that were missed in the releases.
The releases are distinguishable by the release date that is it is usually different to the release in the main page.

...AutoPatcher Updater - you downloaded v1.4.2 (the zip) so don't check v188.8.131.52 or v22.214.171.124 should you see it unless you want that version, you may in a second folder for testing.
...AutoPatcher Engine - you need this script, adds additional folders and the AutoPatcher executable - v184.108.40.206. You will always want this script after extracting a new apup.zip file and running apup.exe for the first time.
NOTE: I forgot about the script appending apup.exe to apup.exe.old when selecting a different version of APUP from the list. So, you have both APUP v1.4.0 and v1.4.2, v1.4.2 I'm guessing is apup.exe.old. If you want to switch between the 2 versions, use .bak and .old. You'll need to append each exe with a different .whatever, if you try to remove .old before you add .bak to the other file you will get an error - file already exists - give it a try.
Note2Self: I have never figured out why the apup123.zip doesn't contain the needed AutoPatcher files??? I used 7-Zip with Ultra selected on \apup - a 7.8MB folder was compressed down to 2.0MB, pretty reasonable size.
I ran APUP and Sweeper so the 2 .log files might be extra, regardless, you need all the files and folders seen in the image I posted to have a minimal working program(s), of course it's useless without updates to install.
When you select additional scripts, maybe an addon pack, the \modules folder along with new .rti files named similar to the script will appear after the download finishes - DirectX will have a directx.rti file to verify the download is Official.
Make sure you have at least the files in the image otherwise something wont work. What does the apup.log reveal - any errors, missing files??? Run APUP again, select AutoPatcher Engine ONLY, when done check apup.log, post the log if you still have issues.

Apup_1_4_2.zip Contents
After First Run: AP Updater & AP Engine Scripts
The folder contents seem to differ from the OP's screenshot, I believe #4, after a run of APUP.
Posted 02 January 2013 - 08:06 PM
Also ya.. when you 7z it is a much better compression then zip but, not everyone has 7zip installed so its a no go where as Win XP and up has a built in unzipper.
The ONLY thing I can think of that is preventing you from downloading the zip is possibly your A/V software cutting the download after it thinks it has detected something bad.

"THE AutoPatcher Download " i.e.
http://www.autopatch...tcher-download/ .
http://www.autopatch...270-ap-sweeper/ appears to download and unzip correctly but when I run Apup 1.4.2 the Autopatcher engine doesn't download. XP SP3 files DO download
There's a reference to http://www.autopatch...xe_188.8.131.52.7z in the log so I ran that through my browser and it downloaded and unzipped correctly (with 7Zip).The files which failed to download with Apup are there. (Autopatcher.exe, bin, tools, translations) It looks good. This is the first time I've actually seen Autopatcher.exe.
Now I've combined the Apup 1.4.2 directory with Autopatcher's. I can run
Apup, get lists, download scripts and run Autopatcher itself. But it says Unofficial/Unsupported Release and that there are 0 files to install.
I don't THINK Avast AV is blocking things. I have it set up to be pretty verbose and I don't see anything in its logs.
This feels like driving a nail with my forehead. The GOOD news is that the nail does seem to be going in!
Maybe tomorrow...

I have a thought... perhaps, something is not allowing 7za to run. If this is true... you will be missing most apm's and AP would not be able to expand and so on. Here is what you can do. Run sweeper with /verbose /test
This will generate a list of reasons why you are not official. Post that log here.

I decided to start over. Deleted everything and downloaded Apup_1_4_3 to the root directory (which I normally avoid).
The download was uneventful (previous download of Apup_1_4_2 had also worked, my original problem was with Apup_1_4.zip).
I ran Apup, hit "get list" and a new folder "temp_bin" appeared in the Apup directory with a single file "releases.list".
I then selected "AutoPatcher Engine 18.104.22.168" and hit "next". The progress window indicated that the download finished and 3 more files appeared in "temp_bin" : apengine.script, apengine_exe.7z and apengine_rti.7z.
Then I click "Finish" in the progress window and the "temp_bin" folder disappears BUT nothing appears in the Apup directory!
According to the log the zip files are extracted to Apup but they are nowhere to be seen.
***Downloading Releases***
Files to be Downloaded: 2
Download queue processed. Proceeding to next phase.
***Processing Cleanup Routines***
Extracting C:\Apup_1_4_3\temp_bin\apengine_rti.7z into C:\Apup_1_4_3\
Extracting C:\Apup_1_4_3\temp_bin\apengine_exe.7z into C:\Apup_1_4_3\
Is it possible that the cleanup script is deleting them along with the temp files?
Before hitting "Finish" in the progress window, I copy the 7z files to the Apup directory. I hit "Finish" and the temp directory goes away. I then manually unzip the apengine files in the Apup directory. "Autopatcher.exe" appears and it appears that it all works.

- Product Details
Chevy Malibu 2008-2012, SprocketRocket Roof Bike Rack for Naked Roof by Yakima®. This is Yakima's premium fork bike mount rack that will transport virtually any bike up to 45 lbs. with a standard 100mm x 9mm quick release front hub, from skinny tired road bikes to mountain bikes with fat tires up to 3" wide. A firmly secured skewer is the most stable way to carry your bike and this one has an integrated adjustment knob for easy one-handed operation. This sleekly designed carrier with mirror black finish features an easy to clamp integral mount built into the head that installs to round and square crossbars, and a sliding wheel tray to accommodate a wide range of bike lengths. The bike can be locked to the rack with an SKS (Same Key System) lock core (sold separately) installed in the skewer cover.
- Yakima's premium fork bike mount rack
- Easy to mount and easy to load
- Carries virtually any bike up to 45 lbs. with standard 100mm x 9mm quick release front hub and tires up to 3" wide
- Disc brake compatible
- Easily mounts to round and square crossbars with no tools required

- Lockable skewer with integrated adjustment knob offers single-handed easy access and the most stable method of bike transport (SKS lock core sold separately)
- Adjustable sliding wheel tray fits a wide range of bike lengths (except tandems and recumbents)
- Ratcheting wheel strap secures rear wheel to tray
- No frame contact; no possibility of frame damage
- Bike is lighter and easier to lift with front wheel removed
- Can be used with Yakima fork adapters (sold separately) to transport bikes with thru axles
- Comes with instructions
- Limited lifetime warranty
A fork bike mount rack provides the most stable form of bike transport because the skewer firmly holds the fork in place. And since there's no contact with the frame with this type of carrier, you won't have to worry about damage to your bike's frame or finish. The bike is also much lighter and easier to lift onto the roof without the weight of the front wheel. Many also think a fork mount is more aerodynamic than an upright rack. A fork bike mount rack definitely has a lot to offer but none more so than the Yakima SprocketRocket Roof Bike Rack.
The SprocketRocket is Yakima's top of the line fork bike mount, with the capability to carry virtually any bike up to 45 lbs. with standard 100mm x 9mm quick release front hub and tire widths up to 3", and it's disc brake compatible. The sleek aerodynamic design and mirror black finish of this carrier will look great on your roof, with or without a bike mounted. The unique integral mount built into the rack head clamps quickly and easily around round or square crossbars, and the rear clamp tightens easily with the hex key.
Once the rack is installed, insert the skewer and the quick release lever and load the bike, with the fork dropouts resting on the skewer and the rear wheel in the wheel tray. Adjust the knob on the quick release lever and close the cover; the adjustment knob and lever can be manipulated from one side of the vehicle, a big advantage when the rack is mounted on a tall vehicle. Secure the rear wheel to the tray with the ratchet tensioned strap; the wheel tray slides to accommodate different length bikes. Mounting and loading is that easy, so you can be on your way to great riding destinations. Yakima's fork adapters (sold separately) can be used to transport bikes with thru axles.
An SKS lock core (sold separately) can be installed in the skewer cover to lock the bike to the rack. Comprehensive, illustrated instructions are included with the SprocketRocket Roof Bike Rack, and it's covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Elaine Metzger was pulled unconscious from mobile home
GENESEE TOWNSHIP -- A woman who was pulled unconscious from her mobile home yesterday afternoon has died.
Fire crews rushed to the Dutch Village mobile home park just after 5 p.m. Tuesday after reports of smoke coming from a trailer.
"The front door was locked so I had to kick the door in," said Mount Morris Assistant Fire Chief Damon Tobias said. "I was the first one on scene so I did a quick search as far as I could go in."
Firefighters found 71-year-old Elaine Metzger unconscious.
"She was about 10 or 15 feet inside of the house," Tobias said.
The woman was rushed to the hospital. She was pronounced dead,
Neighbors know Metzger as the "dog lady," and say she is well-liked in the neighborhood.
"She's always walking her dog Brooklyn with her son, always waving, she would stop and talk to us in the summertime," said Victoria Wallace.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Preparing for a Hearing
For a conduct board to understand the facts of the case and make the best possible decision, you should take time to prepare for your hearing. The following guidelines will assist you with this process.
Before the Hearing
- Carefully review the Code of Community Standards for the most detailed information regarding the hearing process.
- Review the charges and allegations that appear on the 'Acknowledgement Form' that you received during your informational meeting as well as any other information or reports that you may have regarding the incident.
- Review the definitions of the Student Conduct Codes that have been alleged against you. The board will be attempting to determine if your actions meet the definition of the code(s) in question.
- Think about what you want to say in your opening and closing statements. Most students speak extemporaneously when giving their statements but, if you feel more comfortable or if you want to insure that you don't forget any important points, you may use an outline or bring a written statement(s) to read to the board.
- If you are calling witnesses to speak on your behalf, remember that you must submit a Witness Request Form at least two (2) business days in advance of the hearing. The Office of Community Standards will be contacting these individuals to ensure that they qualify to serve as witnesses. (Witnesses must be students, faculty or staff - non students are not authorized to serve as witnesses. They must have been present or have first hand, direct knowledge of the incident in question - no character witnesses are permitted.)
- Consider each of the witnesses who will be present and determine if there are any specific questions that you will want to ask them.
- Determine if you will be requesting an Adviser for the hearing. Most students choose not to have an adviser, however, in serious cases or if you are particularly apprehensive about the hearing process, you may elect to have an adviser. You are required to provide the Office of Community Standards with notification of your intention to have an adviser. Notification must be submitted on an Authorization for Hearing Adviser Form at least one (1) business day prior to the hearing.
During the Hearing
- Arrive on time and notify the staff/panel that you are present. Remember if you do not attend your hearing, it will proceed in your absence and a decision will be rendered.
- Bring any notes/statements that you may have - remember that no documents, pictures or other physical evidence can be submitted during the hearing without prior approval from the Assistant Dean/Designee
- Do not bring any cell phones or other electronic devices that have the capability of recording as these items are not allowed in the hearing
- Present your opening statement - an explanation of what happened in your own words and how you are responding to the charge(s) outlined
- Question all witnesses, particularly those who might have presented testimony in conflict with yours
- Present your closing statement - whatever information you want the board to consider as they prepare to begin their deliberations
After the Hearing
- The Office of Community Standards will notify you of the outcome of the hearing via your Hofstra Pride email – notification is typically made within 3 - 5 business days after the hearing
- It is your responsibility to adhere to any/all sanction requirements until/unless you are informed in writing of approved modifications
- If you intend to appeal a sanction, you must do so within 7 calendar days of receiving your sanction letter and you must abide by your original sanction restrictions until your appeal may be approved.
NOTE: The process for Sexual Misconduct cases is governed by the "Sexual Misconduct Policy". Students preparing for a Sexual Misconduct Hearing should consult this policy as some of the procedures/deadlines are different from those outlined above.

Me, 1949. My father is reflected in the mirror. |

Me, 1949. My father is reflected in the mirror. |
Could you even count how many times this moment was replayed given your family's blessed passion for photography?
This stirs up so many memories for me. The same sofa, along with two matching chairs, sits in the cottage we've rented for years. I love that we can never damage it (though we've tried!) but hate that I can't stretch out to read on it without finding extra pillows.
Somehow that reflection of your father makes this photo more valuable. That doesn' alway apply when the snapper is caight in the frame.
I love this photo, and the way it evokes the memories of people and place. You are darling!
It's a lovely shot of you in a pensive pose!
Not only is it a beautiful picture of you, it has a real feeling of your home.
That photo would be nice even without the reflection, but I think the reflection makes it extra special.
Lovely photo of you made even more beautiful with your dad always there watching over you.
Glad for you you saw his reflection. I agree it adds to the value for you.
Great post.
Amazing photo! Thank you so much for sharing.
you seemed so quiet there? were you actually a quiet child?
sometimes I was a quiet child. i was always thinking. i got quieter as i got older. mostly.

By the time you read this, most of your little ones will be off to school. Whether they are going to Kindergarten for the first time, or they are a seasoned pro and are off to a higher grade, that first day of school can be intimidating. It is exciting to meet a new teacher and new classmates, and pack up that new backpack with pencils, folders and glue, but sometimes kids need more than school supplies to face the exciting and challenging situations the upcoming year holds.
Hallmark has created a back-to-school confidence checklist to help parents encourage and build confidence in their kids - now and all year long.
- Let them hold onto your words. Kids often get embarrassed when parents say "I love you" in front of their friends. Think about sticking a card in their backpack or inside a textbook, so they can find it later and hold onto it all day. Hallmark's Kids Collection features cards addressing topics for young kids, including nerves about school and positive reinforcement for hard work, as well as topics for tweens/teens, such as peer pressure and choosing friends wisely.
- Surprise your child with a lunchtime delight. Fruits and veggies will help a kid be physically fit, but don't forget about a child's emotional wellness. Surprise your child with a serving of love and pride with Hallmark's new bite-sized Lunchbox Notes. The unexpected "I love you" or "good luck" will let your child know you're by their side even after they get on the school bus.
- Bring story time to life. Story time is an opportunity to develop reading skills, but it's also a time for parents and kids to bond. If work keeps you from being home after school or an evening activity causes you to miss bedtime, Hallmark can help. Hallmark Recordable Storybooks allow you to record your voice, and your little ones can read along with you even if you're far away.
The greeting cards that we received have some great messages on them to encourage a child on a tough day. And we all know that when you are in school, those can be often. Maybe your son didn't do so well on a test? Or maybe your daughter's 3 "BFFs" have now decided she isn't cool enough for them? Well as much as we all know that those 4 will be BFFs again tomorrow, and the next test will be better, these issues can really bring a kid down. You can put a smile on your child's face with one of these cards.
The Lunch Notes are super cute! Included in the gift book are "50 ways to add a little love to lunchtime". Some are funny, some are sentimental and some are just silly, but each one is sure to bring a smile to your child's face when they pull it out of their lunch box. I remember how my mom used to write little messages on my napkins when she packed my lunch. It made me smile knowing that my mom was thinking about me always.
The Recordable Storybook is my favorite part of this package! Since my kids can't read yet, they are a little young for the greeting cards and the Lunch Notes, but they love these recordable storybooks. They come in well known titles such as Guess How Much I Love You, My Little Princess and Goodnight Moon.
You simply record yourself reading each page, and then when you can't read to your child, they can still flip through the pages and hear your voice, just as if you were sitting there reading to them. These books certainly do not take the place of that bonding time that parents and children get from reading together, but it is the next best thing. These books are awesome for military families where one parent is deployed!
We like the Recordable Storybooks for quiet time while we are trying to get dinner ready, laundry done, or some other chore that doesn't require "help" from little hands. The kids enjoy "reading" their books with Mommy and Daddy, even when we can't be sitting right next to them.
It even encourages them to spend some quality time together, which I love to see!
I have to tell you how grateful I am to Hallmark for making these Recordable Storybooks. As most of you know, my dad passed away this past April. Well last year my mom bought one of the holiday Recordable Storybooks and my parents recorded themselves reading The Night Before Christmas for the kids. I now have my dad's voice preserved in this book for both me and for my kids. We will always keep Papa's memory alive by the sound of his voice. I am so thankful that I have this book!
Hallmark is always there for every holiday or special occasion. When you can't find the words, Hallmark can. If you are looking for a gift idea for that hard-to-buy person, chances are, Hallmark will have it. Hallmark is also there for our kids during this back-to-school time! Visit your local Hallmark store to pick up these great products that will help encourage and build confidence in your kids.
Disclosure: This is my honest opinion. I received the Hallmark products mentioned above at no cost for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received. A big Thank You to the sponsor and/or representing PR company for providing the giveaway prize!

Australian Children Visited By "Those Yanks From The Boat"
Member Oorahs!
Thank you so much for taking the extra time and making the extra effort
to ship another hat to me for my husband last week. The second hat
arrived last Thursday... and he was tickled with it. Although it may be
"only a hat" it is a very special hat in many ways. He will always be a
proud Marine dad, and your kindness is very much appreciated.
Colonel Ford, I have to pass this on because I'm in shock that I was able to Connect (on the first Ring), Chat and concluded my business with "Sharon" in less than 30 seconds, at the MCA-Office. I was taken by surprise. Why, I'm Not used to anyone answering the phone especially on the first ring. AND...a human being...a lovely lady with a disarming voice, which at first I thought was a recording. WOW! I commend THE MCA for doing such an outstanding service for its members...make me proud. Just think...I was not asked "if I knew my parties Extension."?
Wish I had a Blog...I would spread around how delighted I am. What transpired to me today is Rare, just doesn't happen anymore. See, I'm so impressed I'm blitzing you here.
Thanks for the email; I purchased the two Marine Corps. Cups for my brother who served with the First Marine Div. in Vietnam . He was very pleased with the cups and I was very impressed with the purchase. The online catalog did not do the product the justice it deserved. Thanks again and I am sure you will hear from me in the future.
I'm so pleased to see all the great merchandise you are stocking and the awesome promotions. Your store was dissappointing a few years ago and I shopped only at Sgt Grit.
Now, I can find what I am looking for with you guys.
Great job!
Thank you for all your help over the phone today. Planning a Marine Corps Ball is a lot of time, energy and work.
Timothy C. Summers
It is ALWAYS a pleasure to work with a consummate professional such as SgtMaj (Ret.) Frank Pulley. As the company 1stSgt for Hotel Company, MCT, SOI (West), I've attended a number of his briefs and one can visually see a positive change in the student's attention levels as the SgtMaj delivers his presentation. The SgtMaj truly cares about the Marines and the Marine Corps and represents the MCA in an extremely admirable manner. It has been my experience that all Marines (including myself) benefit from the experience of attending a MCA presentation. And regardless of rank or years of experience, Marines should always seek to increase their level of proficiency and knowledge and MCA briefs provide us with that opportunity.
Just wanted to let you know that I got the sword yesterday with time to spare. It showed up unscathed due to the excellent packing job despite the rough postal process. And most importantly it looks great and the Bahraini's couldn't be happier! Thanks again for all of your assistance.

I just wanted to say thanks so much for making sure the uniform got back
to me in time for my commissioning class's photo. It fits me well and I am so excited for commissioning which takes
place in 17 hours! Thank you again!
Very Respectfully,
You have been the easiest person I have ever dealt with since I have started MWR out here. You were very quick to respond to my every question and very knowledgeable about your work for an order over a phone that was my greatest experience. If you were in the Marine Corps Skylar I would write you up for a meritorious promotion. I will surely write it in my books to pass the word to the next MWR rep to continue the membership with you guys.
Sgt Richard Colmenarez
Ms. Pappas,
Congratulations. You are more responsive and informative than any other website contact I can recall. I appreciate that very much. It's really nice to have someone like you at the MCA "front door."
Sincerely, Alfred

These days, even some usually techno-friendly people have their hackles up about the potential of Google Glass to surreptitiously record video or take pictures. I've heard more than one tech savvy friend bring up "the creep factor," the ability of a weird guy to secretly record you.
Sure, Google Glass has the potential to be a new trick for creepsters, but when you look at some of the devices available today for spying -- even a conventional camera with a telephoto lens or a smartphone -- Google Glass seems pretty tame by comparison, especially as it's glaringly obvious someone is wearing one.
Several years ago on a trip to New York City, I stopped by The Spy Store. If you want to be paranoid about people recording you, check out the devices in this store, all designed to clandestinely record video or audio. You want to record people without them knowing? There are better ways than Google Glass, trust me -- and for a lot less money.
Yet people seem fixated on this one aspect of Glass.
I spoke to Thad Starner, who has been working on wearable computers since the 90s, and is director of the Contextual Computing Group at Georgia Tech, and also a technical lead/manager on Google's Project Glass. He told me that Google has actually worked very hard to create a transparent device, one that always gives you cues when people are using it.
"They are all first class design considerations," he told me, "and any change you make to one affects the others." By making privacy a first-class design principle, it helped the team think about these other design factors, Starner added.
Glass was designed to be a transparent device, he said. First of all, the biggest clue is someone is actually wearing it -- so you see it. When the person interacts with it, they give voice commands or physically touch a button to take a picture. You can actually see when the device is operating reflected through the glass. Everyone is acutely aware of the device because of these social cues (as SNL made fun of this weekend).
Google has been moving slowly with Glass, precisely because it's a new type of device and the company wants to determine what's socially appropriate, Starner explained. At first, internal personnel used them only at home, then at work, and finally in the outside world. The Explorer Team (of which I will be part) is the next step.
By taking this approach, Google is creating a living lab to determine the issues before making it widely available commercially. "When you create a living lab and you have people wearing these things long enough, you [begin to] see what the issues are," Starner told me.
In terms of practical application, Starner points out there are physical limitations on the device. The default video recording time is 10 seconds, and that's designed to save battery life. If you record video non-stop, you'll run out of battery quickly, just as you would on your smartphone. As designed in its current state, this is not appropriate for life-logging (constant recording), as some have speculated.
Which brings us to the latest issue: that a hacker could control the device and see what you're seeing. This obviously has the potential to be a much more serious issue, but the programmer who hacked Glass told Charles Arthur at the Guardian that this hole could be closed if Google simply allowed people to protect the device using a biometric approach such as using patterns in the iris, or voice, or by entering a PIN.
And as Starner told me, "If somebody broke in, and tried to turn on your camera [or control any aspect of the device], you would wonder why it's on." It would be apparent to you that someone was controlling the device other than you.
In response to a direct question about the security issues, a Google spokesperson emailed me this response: "We recognize the importance of building device-specific protections, and we're experimenting with solutions as we work to make Glass more broadly available."
Starner is careful not to minimize privacy concerns, however, saying it's important that we have this conversation before the devices are widely available. But we must avoid hysteria and distraction in the discussion and understand that this is still very much a work in progress, he noted.
The fact is this device and many others like it are coming, no matter what people think about them. We have to develop social rules around interacting with them now, keeping in mind there are many ways to record a conversation without your knowledge if that's someone's true intent -- and that creepsters are going to creep, no matter what.
Once we get past that, maybe we can begin to discuss what this device can really do and if it's actually a decent piece of technology or just the beginning of a long product development process.

Do people ever think, how many times they were photoed as strangers, when somebody took a picture of any place of interest or just made picture in the street?
As photo taking becomes so common in publc areas, everyone is going to have to expect that they may show up somewhere in the digital world. As long as their image is not used for commercial purposes without permission, no one can really object.
When you're in public, you're going to be photographed.
@Ron_Miller, I totally agree with your opinion. A new Google glass app that's just been developed and released lets users take a photo by simply winking an eye. So once Google glass is available openly in market taking pictures of random people will become more common.
@Ron: Yes true but there are many fake artists who try every possible thing in the world to grab some freebies. I think this is not impossible for them.
I haven't heard anything to suggest that it ever hopes to be always on. That's just not even close to happening with today's battery technology unless you want to wear one on your back. Of course they want to sell a lot of them, but as they do, the fears about how people use them will dissapate just as they did with camera phones before them.
The fear isn't exactly misplaced b/c gGlass has some ambitions to be ubiquitous and always on... whereas digital cameras may be ubiquitous, but they're not constantly recording and sending images back to one of the largest corporations in the world.
For $1500, the fear is mostly misplaced. But for a $5/mo service fee, maybe not.
I can't see ever offering money for a photo unless it's a street musician or performer who is obviously trying to make a living.
The thing is we are constantly being photographed now, so if that's the fear, then it's misplaced because it's not unique to Google Glass.
@Alison: Good point. Definitely the change percentage will be huge if there is cash involved.
Interesting that some people have objected so strenuously to having their photos taken. My grandma hated being photographed, but I think that was because she'd put on a little weight in her old age. And in some remote cultures, they are superstitious about photography--but if cash allays those fears, good for the photographer!

Could the beast be ego?
David Wrote: (10-19-2012 11:31 PM)Could the beast be ego? I think the beast is anything that inhibits us.
your choices that you make define you rager, it is not your religion or your beliefs that define your morals. Your morals are what makes you you, and we have the right to choose whatever we like. Most will choose the right path some will not, now whats really interesting is whether you believe it is you that is making those choices or whether you have been programmed to think and act a certain way. A conflicting view may have been potentially inserted into your make up through what ever means but may be against what you believe to be morally right, but will endevor to justify yourself to yourself even though you know this idea is wrong on many levels, the end result can often be horrible,this is what they call critical theory and is something I am reading about at the moment. At least I think thats what they are on about I could of course be completely wrong but as this is my opinion it's as right as it gets for me.
It rubs the lotion on its BEAST. It does this whenever it's told. It puts the lotion on its BEAST, or else it gets the hose again. Now it places the lotion in the basket.

I saw the following quote from philosopher Thomas Nagel on HuffPo:
"I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn't just that I don't believe in God and, naturally, hope that I'm right in my belief. It's that I hope there is no God! I don't want there to be a God; I don't want the universe to be like that."
I couldn't think of a single atheist who rejected religion because of wishful thinking. I need to know if anyone here agrees with Nagel's reason for being atheist.
Tags: Nagel, Thomas, atheism, philosopher, quote
I don't agree with it. I think it's really odd. It's sort of saying he thinks there might be a god.
It almost sounds like the "rebelling-against-god" school of thought, rather than the thought-out, dispassionate, no-evidence-no-god, which I vastly prefer. I refuse to be frightened by the thought that, somehow, there COULD be a god when all the data out there says otherwise. There is no more logic in being cowed by the far outside possibility that there MIGHT be a god than there is in the equally far outside possibility that I might be hit by an asteroid.
Nagel's take seems to lack backbone, and no, I am not down with it.
"when all the data out there says otherwise."
The data doesn't disprove the existence of god - it's the lack of data in support of god's existence that's completely missing.
My wish is that wishful thinking can't affect reality. Unfortunately, I don't get my wish, as evidenced by massive ongoing slaughter, willful intellectual & emotional abuse of children, and perversion of political processes.
I think he's guilty of the exact same thing theists are. Whereas they want a reality with a creator, he doesn't. Both camps of belief are predicated on wishes. Being that skepticism and reason seem to be paradoxically abandoned with his theory as well, I'd say it's no good, personally.
I perceive nearly every person who wants to communicate about their non-belief as wishing there was no God. I don't think there is a God, and I don't want there to be a God, but I think most atheists are much the same, and as desiring not to admit it. When I look at my childhood and see how angry I was because of those who believed, how alienated I felt, it seems ludicrous that I don't have a personal biased interest against there being a God.
I empathize completely with the statement, yet despite that empathy I believe I don't favor theism because I it violates empiricism and I value that.
Even a casual observer of this site must admit that people here are quite often militant or passionate about their opposition to religion. I often wonder, does Atheism necessitate being against other people being religious? It seems here that this is so, but maybe the litmus test is that an Atheist who is generally okay with other people believing whatever they want is unlikely to signup. That being said, I think it more likely then that those who would signup for this site are then more likely to want God not to be true.
To be biased is human, to be biased and aware of that bias is science. To perceive oneself as not biased is usually delusion.
Hmm, yes - but I think my point may have been missed. In general, I dread the thought of a theistic god, yes - but if you're saying that rationality is just cosplay in deciding if there is a god or not for us, then I disagree. Whether or not I want this god to exist plays no role whatsoever in my believing that this god does not exist.
Coming from the christian faith, I truly DID want a theistic creator at one time, and when I couldn't find enough evidence, the cognitive dissonance set in. This is my point about theists - despite the total void where demonstration of a creator should be, they want this god to exist, therefore "he" does.
As to your theory about everyone on here being more militant about their atheism, not really sure. In general, I think I would disagree, but I'm saying that as someone who IS militant about their atheism to some extent, but I believe it could be a learned mechanism from being surrounded by so many of my (still) christian friends.
I have mixed emotion about this quote. On one hand, I can respect the desire to not have a universe that is controlled by some omnipotent creator. I think if this statement is made from the point of view of a speaker that would be unhappy in a world created by a being, then I can see the validity of this desire. It makes me uneasy to even consider that all of existence could be the contrived project of one (or more) entity(s). Nagel's phrasing "I want atheism to be true" leads me to believe that this is not the case though.
It seems like Nagel is leaning more towards an agnostic theist view, with a fear of what that belief may mean for the universe. I could be completely off on this one though. Either way I think, after having thought it through, that I cannot agree with this reasoning. Beliefs should not be based on fear, or any other emotion, in my opinion.
No, I agree with him. I don't think he's an atheist because of wishful thinking. He adds it as a secondary thought. He says 'it isn't JUST that I don't believe in God' . . . 'I hope there is no God! . . . I don't want the universe to be like that!'
To me, this says nothing any different than the Atheist video 'Afterlife', which compiled a bunch of Atheist bloggers' views on the afterlife, and it included them speculating over what they'd think if Heaven was actually real. One of them puts in perspective how Heaven would be torture (laying out exactly how long eternity really is), and basically saying 'I hope that's not the case! It would be torture!' - I don't think he's saying anything at all different here. He doesn't believe in a god, but he's going further in saying that regardless of whether his belief is right or wrong, he actively hopes (not just believes) that one does not exist because of how more messed up our world would be if it was governed by some crazy monotheistic deity.
That's what I pulled out of what he said, and I'd totally agree with it.
I think you bring up an interesting point. I could not help but follow it up in my mind with a whimsical question though. Are there any versions of theism that you, or any non-theist for that matter, would feel comfortable with? For the sake of discussion, I'm assuming that version would be true.
I have serious problems with the Abrahamic religions. But...if there were a religion that involved massive quantities of high end beer and chocolate, all non-fattening, I would seriously consider Sunday school, Bible study, retreats....
I am with you when you say you don't believe either extreme and that's enough for you. I take the same stance and argue that's all we have so why try to insist on anything more. My life could not be lived in a more "atheistic" fashion.
No, I reject religion because—when closely examined—religious statements do not make sense, they cannot be justified as describing the real world.
