Development, design, name
Big McIntosh's original name was Big Apple, but it was changed at the request of Hasbro's legal department.[2] The new name alludes to the McIntosh variety of apple, which is mostly red with green streaks on its skin. The name was spelled "Big Macintosh" on early merchandise packaging, but in mid-2012 the spelling was changed to "Big McIntosh", the same spelling used on both deviantART and Twitter by the show's developer, Lauren Faust, and four times out of five on Twitter by one of the show's writers, M.A. Larson. In the credits for Apple Family Reunion he is listed as "Big Macintosh". His name is also spelled "Big Macintosh" in a parody/promo from The Hub in February 2013. Little, Brown's My Little Pony Friendship is Magic official guidebook My Little Pony: The Elements of Harmony and the IDW comics' My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #6 and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #9 all spell his name "Big McIntosh".Big McIntosh's design ("size and furry fetlocks") is inspired by G1 Big Brother Ponies.[3] His appearance is that of a draft horse: His tail is cropped, a common practice with work horses to prevent it becoming tangled in the harness or cart shafts, and he wears a work horse collar in almost all his appearances in the show, including the younger version of him in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, the only exception being when he is disguised as male Applejack in Magic Duel. He is generally seen with a sprig of wheat hanging out of the side of his mouth. He and Applejack have similar large, light freckles on their cheeks. During some shots in Friendship is Magic, part 1, Winter Wrap Up, Sisterhooves Social, MMMystery on the Friendship Express, Spike at Your Service, Just for Sidekicks, and Magical Mystery Cure, his cutie mark is depicted with six-pointed white stars around the apple which are not present in most of the show's shots or in the toy line; an image from the development of the mobile game states that stars are not part of his cutie mark design.[4] As with most stallions his size in the show, his hooves are colored differently than his coat.
Faust noted in a comment on her deviantArt page that an idea for a Big McIntosh-centered episode was pitched to Hasbro but was turned down. The episode revolved around Big McIntosh gently keeping the peace in the Apple homestead, with a running gag that his sisters and Granny Smith are very verbose while he only responds with facial expressions.[5]
Depiction in the series
Big McIntosh has a rather calm and easy-going demeanor in contrast with that of his sister, Applejack. He is a pony of few words and, like the rest of his family, he speaks with a Missouri Ozarks-like accent. He tends to answer questions or reaffirm things with a taciturn "eeeyup" or "nnope". He is hard to agitate, although he scolds the Cutie Mark Crusaders for publishing harmful gossip about Applejack and him in Ponyville Confidential and is quick to agree with Cheerilee's disciplining the scheming Crusaders in Hearts and Hooves Day. He has a practical sort of wisdom; for example, he advises Applejack against single-handedly harvesting all the apples in Applebuck Season.His close bond with his sister is evident in The Last Roundup; he tears up when he learns of Applejack's note saying that she won't be returning to Ponyville.
He is humorously involved in the "want it, need it" spell fiasco in Lesson Zero, becoming infatuated with and refusing to relinquish Twilight's enchanted raggedy Smarty Pants doll. Many other Ponyville citizens also fall prey to the spell and dog-pile Big Mac, but he throws them off in a cartoonish explosion. Once the spell is lifted from the doll, he still runs off with it. The episode Ponyville Confidential references his affection for the doll; one edition of the newspaper titled "Big McIntosh: What's he hiding?" features a photo of him playing with the doll by himself.Skills
He is as an exceptional farm worker due to his strength and physical stamina. He and Applejack perform all the heavy-duty work on the farm because Granny Smith and Apple Bloom are too old and young, respectively. Farm work entails bucking apple trees, moving hay bales, plowing through soil, pulling loaded wagons, and making their famous apple cider.
Big McIntosh is asked by Apple Bloom in Hearts and Hooves Day to come and fix the gazebo, in an attempt to arrange a romantic picnic between him and Cheerilee; he arrives carrying a toolbox, but doesn't get a chance to work on the gazebo since there's nothing wrong with it. Big Mac assists Pinkie Pie in fixing the bridge in It's About Time as they work together to tighten the nuts along the bridge supports. He also reinstalls the side panel of the dessert car on the train to Canterlot in MMMystery on the Friendship Express, as the side panel needed to be removed in order to get the Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness cake on board the train.
Big McIntosh displays unusual physical strength in Hearts and Hooves Day when he drags two oxen and a cart of anvils and then a house, all without much signs of exertion, with the intent of seeing his magic-poison-induced sweetheart, Cheerilee. His stamina is also pushed to its limit when he spends an entire hour running non-stop on a treadmill to power the Apple Family's cider press in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. Big McIntosh apparently applebucks with only one hoof in Hearts and Hooves Day, however, he does not mange to remove every apple from the tree; whereas Applejack makes every apple fall off in a single, two-hooved buck.
History and appearances
Big McIntosh first appears walking through town as Twilight lands in Ponyville in episode one. Later, he briefly appears at the Apple family reunion, holding a small, green apple cupcake. Although he is mentioned by name and referred to in following episodes, he does not speak until Applebuck Season. His only significant speaking roles are in Applebuck Season, Hearts and Hooves Day, and Ponyville Confidential.
Prior to the events of Applebuck Season, he was hurt and so unable to harvest apples with Applejack. In Winter Wrap Up, Big McIntosh and other earth ponies clear the snow in the fields around Ponyville. He also tells Applejack that Caramel lost the grass seeds. In Fall Weather Friends, Big McIntosh, Granny Smith, and Apple Bloom cheer on Applejack during the Iron Pony competition. Applejack's flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles depicts Big McIntosh as a shorter and scrawnier younger pony, anxiously watching her leave the farm to find her destiny.
A pony with Big McIntosh's design and Caramel's coat and mane colors is seen pulling a cart in the original opening sequence and in Green Isn't Your Color. In the remastered opening, which first appears in Lesson Zero, Big McIntosh replaces him, though the character is still used as a background pony in Lesson Zero, Putting Your Hoof Down, and Magical Mystery Cure.
His first Season two appearance is in The Return of Harmony, part 2. After Discord takes over Ponyville, Big McIntosh behaves like a dog.
Big McIntosh is featured in Lesson Zero when Twilight Sparkle slams into him after attempting to break up a fight she started between the Cutie Mark Crusaders. He retrieves Smarty Pants from the fillies, but falls in love with it himself and runs away with it. The spell attracts dozens of ponies and they fight over the doll until Princess Celestia intervenes and removes the spell. Once the commotion has died down, Big McIntosh checks if the coast is clear and runs off with it again, neighing with joy.
At the beginning of Luna Eclipsed, he is pulling several ponies in a cart. He is dressed up in his Nightmare Night costume; namely, a black top hat and cape with a white skull-shaped apple on it.
In Sisterhooves Social, he assists Granny Smith as the race announcer by whispering the correct words in her ear when she makes a mistake. In The Cutie Pox, he is inside Sweet Apple Acres during the discussion of Apple Bloom's cutie marks. He cures Granny Smith's sudden Charley horse with a gentle knock to her hip. However, he does not comment on his sister's new cutie marks, simply smiling and echoing Applejack's joyful exclamations with a "eeyup" or "nnnope".
In Family Appreciation Day, he prepares for the zap apple harvest with Applejack. He speaks a partial sentence at the beginning of the episode when he, Applejack, and Apple Bloom cheer in unison that the zap apples are coming.
He works alongside his family with the cider production in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. During the cider sales, he carries the heavy barrels to the stand and hooks them up to the tap so Apple Bloom can dispense the cider. He does not care for Flim and Flam's unfair business proposition, stamping his hoof on the ground and saying "No deal!" At the cider-making competition, he runs on a treadmill to press the apples into cider, later with help from Rainbow Dash.Big McIntosh plays an important role in Hearts and Hooves Day. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo try to concoct a love potion to get Big McIntosh fall in love with their teacher, Cheerilee. However, they accidentally make love poison, which has overly powerful effects. The poison eventually wears off and Big McIntosh and Cheerilee play out an attraction towards one another to fool the Cutie Mark Crusaders. In this episode, he has a very extensive speaking role, though most of what he says are nonsensical terms of affection.
He briefly appears during the Smile Song in A Friend in Deed, giving Pinkie Pie and two fillies a ride in his hay cart.
In It's About Time, Big McIntosh helps Pinkie "disaster-proof" a bridge, suspending her by a rope held in his mouth. When Twilight walks by to inspect their work, he says "eeyup", accidentally letting go of the rope.
He briefly appears in one of the Foal Free Press prints in Ponyville Confidential, concealing the Smarty Pants doll that he collected in Lesson Zero, before appearing with Applejack later in the episode. The two engage in some character reversal in the latter: Applejack speaks with Big McIntosh's general "eeyup"s and "nope"s, while Big Mac scolds Apple Bloom and her friends for the trouble they caused.
He appears in MMMystery on the Friendship Express, carrying the Cakes' contest cake to the train station. However, the cake is so heavy that even he needs the help of the Main Six.
In Too Many Pinkie Pies, he appears with Applejack, Apple Fritter, and Meadow Song, raising a wall section with rope support gear for the new barn until the Pinkie Pie duplicates arrive and destroy the site. Shortly afterward, he also briefly appears with "Jonagold".In Magic Duel, he appears, disguised as a gender-switched Applejack, as part of Twilight's plan to remove the Alicorn Amulet from Trixie. In this appearance, he is voiced by Ashleigh Ball and named "Male Applejack" in the credits.
In Apple Family Reunion, he appears alongside the rest of his family. During the reunion, he sneaks an apple fritter, whistling nonchalantly when Applejack glares at him.
He makes a brief cameo in Keep Calm and Flutter On, flailing around the flooded Sweet Apple Acres in an apple basket, and an even briefer appearance in Just for Sidekicks, walking out of shot with Cheerilee, a reference to Hearts and Hooves Day. He makes another brief appearance in Magical Mystery Cure, pulling Applejack in a cart while she plants some seeds.
Depiction in Equestria Girls
Big McIntosh's human counterpart appears briefly three times in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. He helps Applejack deliver fizzy apple cider to the Fall Formal dance committee. Later, he sits with Applejack and the Cutie Mark Crusaders in the cafeteria. He watches Applejack start to clap at the beginning of the Equestria Girls song. He dances with Applejack at the Fall Formal.Big McIntosh's jacket is the same color as his pony counterpart's coat. His brown jacket collar is the same color as his pony counterpart's work horse collar, and has his pony cutie mark on it. His trouser hem is the same shape as his pony counterpart's hooves. Like his pony counterpart, human Big McIntosh only says "eeyup" and "nnope."
Other depictions
Big McIntosh appears without nostrils in a promotional image shown on the MiniMini+ website, the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Facebook page, and the interior of the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season One DVD set packaging.
IDW comics
Issues #9 and #10 of the Friendship is Magic comic series by IDW Publishing, entitled "Zen and the Art of Gazebo Repair", feature Big McIntosh as the central focus of the story.
My Little Pony mobile game description
Eeyup! It's Applejack's big brother, a farmer pony of many apples and few words.
The Elements of Harmony guidebook
BIG MCINTOSH, also known as Big Mac, is the protective older brother of both Applejack and Apple Bloom. The soft-spoken colt generally doesn't have much to say, but he's always keeping an eye on his family.

Bexley fire service cuts 'will affect the front line'
3:30pm Wednesday 17th October 2012 in News By George Sargent
BEXLEY firefighters have warned front line services will be harmed if cuts hit the borough.
Firefighter morale is also "very low" in Bexley as the borough faces possible station closures and redundancies.
London Mayor Boris Johnson has told London's fire service it needs to cut £64.8m from its two year budget.
The London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA), which runs London's stations, has said up to 30 stations across the capital might have to close.
Bexley Borough secretary for the Fire Brigade Union, Stephen Rawlinson, told News Shopper: "The morale is very low in Bexley because we are all expecting these cuts.
"These cuts will affect the front line. But the real worry is if they take away appliances (fire engines), that's what we are concerned about."
It was revealed last week all London firefighters were offered voluntary redundancies.
News Shopper has learned firefighters have been offered £7,500 severance pay and civilian staff £10,000.
Bexley MP Teresa Pearce has spoken out against the cuts and redundancy offers.
She told News Shopper: "I can't believe it. What does that say to the emergency services?
"It's been attack after attack on a highly professional service.
"You don't want people who feel undervalued and demoralised doing that job."
Firefighters across London are waiting for papers to be released by the LFEPA on November 15 which will indicate where the cuts can be made.
Bexley has three fire stations and its average response time is already two minutes behind the capital's target.
James Cleverly, chairman of the LFEPA , said last week: "Nowhere in London will be more than six minutes away on average from a fire station.
"We will be keeping the target time of six minutes."
"Even in the worst case scenario it's not going to be as serious as the reports going around are saying."
London Mayor Boris Johnson told News Shopper: "What I can say is that fire cover in London will remain as good as we can possible make it.
"We will ensure that we continue to make London as ever safer and ever less vulnerable to fire.
"The figures at the moment have been very good, I congratulate London on what they have been doing and safety has got to be out priority."

Teaspoon says...
The fire brigade provide an excellent and very professional service across the board to members of the public, other emergency services & brigades, local authorities and everyone else they come in contact with because the men and women firefighters and control staff work **** hard to make sure that happens. Its those professional 'workers' you'll be dealing with when you have an emergency - not Boris or any other members of the government.
You never know when you'll need us.

Hello_Mate says...
The government didn't want the upkeep of the engines, so a gas company took on the contract, then the LFB were told they have to be paramedics as well as fire fighters, now they're losing jobs altogether! My dad was a fire fighter for over 30 years, I'm soo glad he's not here to see the **** the current "idiot in charge" is putting forward.

It was in front of the Taylorsville WalMart a man stole girl scout cookie cash from troop 2532.
Girl Scout Rae Steinke was working the table as it was happening, she told ABC4 News, "It was terrifying, you didn't know what was going to happen."
The man came up to the girls looking like he wanted to buy a box of cookies, instead he took all the money the girls had earned during the day.
Troop 2532 Leader Jeanette Williams said, "I can't imagine that someone would just walk up and did that."
Monday, a sweet surprise for the Girl Scouts.
John Watkins from 101.5 The Eagle told the girls Monday morning live on his show, "We talked to our bosses and we decided to help out a little bit and give you $200 as a donation."
Then the radio station opened up their phone lines, asking for more donations.
It was huge for the girls.
Williams said, "It is overwhelming for me and the girls. We are so appreciative that everyone wants to help us out."
The Girl Scouts of Utah said if you want to help, just go and buy a box of cookies, from any troop. All of the proceeds from each box go directly to help every girl scout in the state of Utah.
The Mayor of Taylorsville has invited Troop 2532 to sell their cookies this Saturday (March 23) at the Taylorsville City Hall.
Girl Scout Cookies are on sale until March 24.

I would also like to test the new version if it is possible.
Hi, If you need another "guinea pig" to test it, let me know.
Thanks - Mary
I would be willing to test the fixed version.
would prefer to wait for fix, or try your test version
Many people are using TP successfully without any problems. A few people have experienced an Access Denied error (but then it continues to work fine) other people have had some problems where it would not work at all.
I would download it and try it for yourself. I've been using the program for months without any trouble.
-------------------- Tim Smith PC Magazine Utilities Program Manager
Are you still looking for people to test your improved version? Also, will this program work for all of the computers on my home network, or will I need to download it to each computer?
We have a debug exe that some users are testing. If your interested in using that version I'll let the developer know.
TaskPower does not connect to remote machines to check their processes.
Nice improvement over version 1. However, when I click on , only 2 running programs are show: (1) TaskPower itself, and (2) Eudora. My 3 running programs are not shown. I know they are there from the Windows XP TaskManager.
Can you tell me what the programs are? Do they have a Window and are they listed in the taskbar? If not then they are processes that would be listed under the Tasks tab.
I don't get access denied, but do get an "invaild parm" message and then the screen freezes. I have to stop the application. The utility looks interesting, but I want it to work.
We've had another report of this. The developer may ask you to test a debug version, if you don't mind.
I just purchased taskpower and am also encountering the "Access is denied" error.
After this message the program continues to work though, correct?
I'll ask the developer if he needs anyone to test the debug version.

The Summer 2012 issue of NCAA Champion magazine is now available online. The Association's official quarterly publication was mailed to NCAA campuses this week.
This edition of Champion features an in-depth look at the student-athlete experience in all three divisions. Writer Brian Hendrickson follows Texas long-jumper (and football player) Marquise Goodwin through the NCAA track championships and the Olympic Trials. Follow Goodwin's accomplishments and learn about his compelling story through this close-up portrayal.
Also, ride along with the Division II Colorado State-Pueblo softball team as players and coaches take a 400-mile journey to Chadron State for a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference match-up. Life on the bus is common to most every NCAA student-athlete, but in the RMAC it's even more a way of life. Champion's David Pickle describes the experience and the many team-bonding benefits that result.
Meanwhile, Brian Burnsed provides an insightful look inside the world of Division III athletics. He follows four student-athletes from varied backgrounds and with aspirations that are diverse save for one: the desire to compete at their very best. Find out what that's like by reading "Committed to play."
In addition to the features, Champion provides its customary championships review, with stunning photography from NCAA Photos on the NCAA's spring-sport finals. Other highlights in the Summer 2012 issue include profiles of SUNY New Paltz AD Stuart Robinson, who chairs the Division III Championships Committee, and Southern strength and conditioning coach Corliss Fingers, who is among only a handful of women to serve in that role at a Division I football school.
Be sure to follow NCAA Champion magazine on Facebook. The next issue of the magazine will print and distribute in October.

Reading July Family History Monthly,I came across this article on a free web based project,and you apply for a free kit and do a cheek swab,and prove connections around the world.Look it up on.....www(.)smgf(.)org and see what you think!!! Brenda x x |
An Olde Crone | Report | 16 Jun 2007 00:02 |
Brenda Hmmm...I never know how I feel about this sort of thing. For a start, it doesn't actually say it is free, but I assume it is, because - you don't get told any results, lol!!!! Read the blurb... So, a bit pointless. I bet if you want to see the results, you have to pay. I can quite see that if you are of Afro Caribbean ancestry, say, or you don't have a clue about your ancestors, then this could be a useful way of discovering where your ancestors originate. But it won't help much in your actual research, because even if you can identify with living people who share your mtDNA - they may not know who their 6 x GGPs were, either! And the time scale is so vague - a common ancestor in the last ten thousand years is all they can offer, as a result. It is interesting, I agree - but I doubt if it will help me to find where my 2 x GGF was born, and who his parents were! OC |
MaryfromItaly | Report | 16 Jun 2007 02:15 |
No idea if it's a reputable company, but the DNA projects I've seen in one-name studies have always specified that they'll only test males. |
An Olde Crone | Report | 16 Jun 2007 12:50 |
Mary This company offers both - Y tests and mtDNA tests (X chromosome). I think it is reasonably reputable - but they are doing this for their OWN benefit, not ours. They want to test a number of people, the more the better, and they will then publish the scientific results in some journal or other, no doubt winning themselves some funding. We are, if you like, guinea pigs for their research. As I said before, if you want to know the results of your DNA test, you will undoubtedly have to pay for them. OC |
Brenda from Wales | Report | 16 Jun 2007 14:43 |
OC Couldn't reply sooner,as bed called ,and watched Trooping the Colour this morning. However,I have had a closer look at this site,and think it is quite bona fide,and could be interesting to keep an eye on as it is a non profit making organization. As far as I can tell,they do not send you results,but you can search for appropriate names listed to see if there is a match. I read one bit that with a coupon ,and if you have participated ,you can have results for $95 (about £50),which is very cheap,but this is not obligatory. In the article in FHM it says it was started by James Sorenson(billionaire) in 2004 'to create the world's most comprehensive genealogical database and ensure it is used for purposes to promote peace,compassion,and fellowship among humankind' |

Good for you Romany Star! Keep us posted on how you get on . Brenda x x |
An Olde Crone | Report | 16 Jun 2007 14:58 |
Brenda I did try to name search, but couldn't get anywhere. I am sure it is a bona fide company/organisation, but don't know if I want to spend £50 to be told that my maternal ancestors came from Russia ten thousand years ago! It IS interesting, but only in a very wide sense, I think. Even if I could connect up with a known surname, again that wouldn't tell either of us much that we don't already know. I shall keep an eye on it though. OC |
An Olde Crone | Report | 8 Jul 2007 22:30 |
Romany Sorry about that, but it was as I suspected - for their benefit, not yours. You could, if you really wanted to, have a test done privately and you would get the results, It is quite expensive though, but anonymity is guaranteed. Your OH does have a point. As unlikely as it seems, if this information were to fall into the hands of a World-Domination freak or organisation, then the results don't bear thinking about. Just think what Hitler could have done with information like this. OC |
RomanyStar | Report | 8 Jul 2007 22:55 |
Lol thats quite right OC. Had so hoped they might say 'Yes youre 1/6 Italian' or 'No youre not, but you do have French in you' (or whatever!!), thats all I wanted. Never mind. PS: Didnt see anywhere on it that I could pay £50 for some feedback. |
RomanyStar | Report | 8 Jul 2007 22:57 |
We could even be cloned without our knowledge, lololol. There's a thought. |
Brenda from Wales | Report | 8 Jul 2007 23:01 |
Romany Sorry ,after getting all excited about the DNA test,it turns out to be too risky to participate. Think if we are interested we will have to save up for a private test. Thanks for letting us know. Brenda x x |
Sue in Somerset | Report | 8 Jul 2007 23:07 |
It's still only going to give you just one line of your family tree. They only either test the all male or all female line so in other words.....if you have done a fan chart of your ancestors it will only give you the far left line if you are male or far right line for a female. That means you only have to go back to your 4x great grandparents and the tested line is only one of 64 of your ancestors. Then each generation back doubles so the DNA being tested came from an even smaller part of your tree. It is of interest of researchers as large samples can have meaning but it really doesn't say much about your own ancestry. Sue |
An Olde Crone | Report | 8 Jul 2007 23:16 |
Sue I think Romany is more interested in a geographical DNA test, to discover the international mix of her ancestry, lol, which is quite easy to do. I agree with your comments about DNA testing as a family history tool - it is virtually useless, can only track you through one line, either male or female and can NEVER give you any names, lol. It is possible to do recombinant testing, which will give you ALL your ancestors, both male and female, but this is extremely difficult, expensive, and time consuming; and requires a wide pool of known ancestors to start with. In practice, it is only used for tracking inherited diseases, or other forensic investigations. OC |

Antonio (Tony) Cairoli was born September 23, 1985 in Patti, Italy and in 2013 goes into the season aiming for his seventh World Championship title. Already a recognized champion, Tony joined the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team at the beginning of the 2010 season, bringing with him his long-time manager Claudio De Carli. He began his MX GP career in 2002 and won the MX2 title in 2005 and 2007. Cairoli set the bar a little higher taking the MX1 title in 2009 and reclaimed it in 2010, 2011 and again in 2012. He had a golden season in 2012 taking eleven victories, was second on one occasion and as twice third. Tony was introduced to racing by his father at an early age and naturally has won a whole string of national titles.
Tony again rides the KTM 350 SX-F against the bigger 450 cc competition bikes in the current MX1 season. He is one of the most popular riders in MX1 competition and a great role model for younger team members.

Making magical memories in Orlando do not need to include kids. Adult adventures are abound at Walt Disney World.
Planning a trip as a young couple to Walt Disney World allows you to make very special memories with your partner. This intense, fun and silly trip lets you be a kid again. Running from ride to ride. Eating terrible food. Giggling on thrill rides. This magical place unearths memories of your own childhood to share with your better half. Bridging separate pasts with your present makes it worth every moment.
Another reason to go without children is that when you do go with kids, it will be a whole different experience. Going to WDW with kids for the first time can be incredibly stressful. Between expense and lack of naps, it can be a major meltdown for kids and adults. You will see a whole other side of the parks – kiddie playgrounds, slow paced rides and lots of "I WANT THAT!" But, when you go as a bigger family it's all about creating new experiences for your children – which is so special.
We had a magical trip this past October, where Brian and I celebrated Halloween in the Magic Kingdom. I also love Halloween so the combination was irresistible. We wanted to share some of our top tips for making the Walt Disney World fun at any age:
- Stay on Property – This can add some cost to your stay, but it is so worth it. We stayed at Port Orleans – Riverside because of it's Southern charm (of course) and good price point. We were quickly transported from our hotel to the parks whenever we wanted to without any fuss at all. It was so nice to be car-free for the long weekend. A bus transfer from the airport to the hotels is also included in your stay so it saves you a bit there.
- Get a Park Hopper Pass – Another added cost, but again so worth it. We were able to start our day in one park and eat dinner in the next. On our first day we started in the Magic Kingdom, had dinner in Epcot and came back to the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks show – a wonderfully perfect day. We also added our credit card to the pass card so I didn't need to carry a purse, which is such a luxury (isn't it ladies?!). We took every possible transportation between the parks – boats, monorail and buses. All fun, fun, fun!
- Read the Buses – We had a serious bus snafu when we tried to get to Downtown Disney on a hotel bus on Halloween night. What a disaster. It was the lowest point on the trip. Downtown Disney was NUTS because they were having an event and we were tired, hungry and hot. Not a good combo. We also got on another wrong bus going in-between parks which was less of a disaster, but still cost us time. Just read the signs and don't be dumb.
- Plan for Some Down Time – We packed all 4 parks into 3 days on our trip which was a bit crazy. We were EXHAUSTED by the end of the third day. While we totally recommend going to every park because they each offer something different, just pace yourself. For my time, I'd prioritize visits to the Magic Kingdom first, then Epcot, followed by the Animal Kingdom with Hollywood Studios pulling in the rear. The parks are a lot smaller than you'd think – the Magic Kingdom feels a whole lot smaller than Disneyland on the west coast. You can do it all, just pace yourself. Also, prioritize what you want to do now as a couple sans kids and keep other experiences to share with your little ones down the road.
- Enjoy the Lines – I love standing in lines, sad huh?! I get focused time with my husband to talk, people watch and build anticipation for the ride. Since you are inevitably going to stand in lines, embrace it and make fun of some people's shoes.
- Use the Fast Pass System for Happy Couple-dom – Such a brilliant invention, you scan your ticket and it "stands in line" for you so you get priority when you come back a few hours later. We used this for rides that I wanted to do, but Brian wanted to skip. Worked really, really well for a couple that has different tastes in rides.
- Be Prepared to Unplug in the Hotels but Count on Mobile & Social Media – There was NO wifi in the hotel room and broadband plug-in was iffy. We had to rely on phones for connection. We downloaded a few very useful apps to help us plan our visits to each park. Gowalla has a whole location-based game to earn badges and other fun add-ins.
- Epcot Serves Booze – I repeat, Epcot serves booze. Need I really say more? While this is awesome, it also makes Epcot a little more duche-y than the other parks after dark.
- Stake Out the Grub – There are so many choices in the parks from quickie snacks to sit-down dinners. Our faves were:
- Columbia Harbour House – Magic Kingdom New Orleans Square – Greasy, but good, fish and chips type of food
- Cool Ship – Magic Kingdom Tomorrow Land – Get the blue raspberry and cherry icy mixed all pretty like
- Flame Tree Barbecue – Animal Kingdom – Yummy sandwiches and tropical offerings
- Riverside Mill Food Court – Port Orleans Riverside - They made me special lactose-free Mickey waffles – total win and why I LOVE DISNEY!
- Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory Food Court – Port Orleans French Quarter – Beignets for breakfast – yum!
- Best Rides -For romance, humor and just all around awesomeness, our top picks are
- Haunted Mansion – Magic Kingdom – Creepy, grab your lover fun
- Space Mountain – Magic Kingdom – Best thrill ride around
- Jungle Cruise – Magic Kingdom – Take this ride at night, always worth it for the humor and water splashes
- People Movers – Magic Kingdom – Yes, this is the Grandpa ride of boring-ness but you get to make out with your lover in a private slow moving buggy and be off your feet for a while = bonus points
- Mission: Space – Epcot – It's on Brian's A-list and my pass list (I can't do spin rides) but you do get to fly to Mars so that's a win
- The Seas with Nemo and Friends – Epcot – Nice integration of 3D technology with a eco-friendly message
- The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – Hollywood Studios – (Look sad and maybe a nice Aussie will give you his extra Fast Pass) Great theme integration in the queue and fun creepy drops
- Kilimanjaro Safaris – Animal Kingdom – Live animals + free ranging jeeps + individual animal guide sheets = good times
- Rides to Avoid – We might be starting some debate, but here are the rides to avoid!
- Maelstrom – Epcot – LAME dark ride showcasing Scandinavian culture including giant off-shore oil rigs. Ummm, can we say environmentally insensitive?
- Living With the Land – Epcot – I went on this ride when I was younger and it did not live up to my memories. The dated videos and items showcased were not worth the wait in line
- The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management – Magic Kingdom – Terrible update to a wonderful Disney classic. BOO!
- Astro Orbiter – Magic Kingdom – Barf bag please!
I think the Disney Parks a one of the best vacations a couple can take, but I'm probably not the most unbiased blogger. I have always had a special place in my heart for Disney. One of my secret dream careers to work for Disney's PR or marketing teams. Granted I have my dream job, but being part of adding Disney joy into people's lives would be amazing. I love all the detail of Disney. I love the careful customer service, the orchestrated communications, detailed way-finding. It's the gold standard of creating a truly immersive environment for customers and I find it inspiring.
Why are you planning a Disney vacation? Do you have any super secret tips to share?

He says the president is simply tossing aside the constitution when it seems inconvenient to him.
Weather comes to who has the power to control the debt ceiling or making recess appointments.
I talked earlier with -- -- Republican senator Mike Lee about the strong accusations and much more.
We thank you for joining us in the midst of the time it is very busy on both the senate and house sides of the White House as well as we understand negotiations -- we hope the negotiations continue.
Over the fiscal cliff I want to ask you about this idea that's being discussed that.
Raising the debt ceiling could be something that would be taken out of congress' purview.
And given -- and it essentially to the White House for the president's alone to make that decision what do you make of that discussion.
Insofar as we're talking about legislation to do that I think politically and that idea has to be dead on arrival I don't know why congress would ever.
Voluntarily park which is constitutional authority.
Given to congress under clause one of article one section eight.
That this move is an unwise proposal and not one that I see getting any traction.
Do you think that it is a brought her sort of look at different moves we've seen by this administration and two essentially go around congress whether it comes to regulations or trees -- things that.
In some ways have a limited or no congressional intervention in -- a big policy decisions that impacts Americans as a whole.
If it is another instance of the president's go it alone policy where he's trying to do this without congressional authorization.
Bad that I think constitutionally he's on to the weakest possible ground.
There's nothing in the constitution -- they can be read to best the president with this kind of sweeping authority.
This simply disregard congress.
And essentially as some of those actions are being challenged things he's done a pass for instance the recess appointments to be -- -- are being now being challenged.
In federal appellate courts do you think that this administration will be called on the carpet at any point to account for some of those maneuvers.
I do think so when in fact -- just this week we had a challenge that was brought to the forefront.
In the US court of appeals for the DC circuit I think there is a very significant chance that in that case the court might well conclude that the president overstepped his boundaries.
When he made four recess appointments in January of this year at a time when the senate was not in recent.
We will continue to follow that case it -- very interesting.
-- discussion to have.
But back to the issue of the fiscal -- are you being cute and and clued in on what's happening some Republicans and very publicly complained.
That there are negotiations.
And bargains being made behind closed doors as far as they know that they are getting their information about what's being.
-- hammered out essentially from the news reports from media reports do you feel like you're getting enough information.
I do feel like I'm being updated regularly if that's the question.
If the question is how I feel about the substance of where where they're going quite -- that I have not encouraged.
Especially after -- the president rejected.
-- -- an initial tentative offer by the speaker earlier this week it didn't happen in a way they gave me confidence -- the president is really interest in negotiating.
Gave me the sense that perhaps he's not only willing to allow us to go off a cliff but perhaps he wants to push -- -- Well that's a very interesting allegation because of course the White House continues to say that's not what it wants at least publicly.
What your colleague senator Lindsey Graham a fellow Republican there in the senate said as much a few days back that he thinks they've made a political calculation.
And it there's a very real possibility that that's gonna happen.
Yes and it's -- concerned all of us none of us want taxes to go up and all of us realize I think that a tax increase.
At this point would be devastating to our economy.
-- tax increase even if it's focused only on the top two tax brackets.
What will killed 700000 jobs and those are not going to be CEO jobs was or not top 1% jump -- those -- Men and women who were working hard and often living paycheck to paycheck who can hardly afford.
To absorb the economic impact of -- job loss.
So much of the conversation seems to be focused on those tax rates are you concerned that there's and not enough of a conversation happening about the other side of this equation about federal spending.
Yes especially given the fact that the president's proposal doesn't really take seriously the spending side of the equation in fact.
-- -- president's proposal actually contemplates the spending increase not spending cuts.
And we have to remember that ultimately what we have Shannon is not a revenue problem as much as it is a spending problem and that's where we have to be focused.
What the president is quite decidedly not focused in that.
-- well we wish you all the best in finding a solution senator Mike Lee thank you sir for your time to think you ship.

Lime juice and lemon juice for acne scars: For removing acne scars can lime juice be used instead of lemon juice and does it have to be juice fresh from the fruit or can I use the commercial one the bottle?
If you want, you can use lime juice instead of lemon juice - however, the problem is that there are many different types of limes, some of which are completely different from lemons. Sweet limes, for example, are hardly acidic at all, and as the name indications, they are sweet rather than sour. If you are using lime juice, you need to use sour limes, which look and taste very similar to lemons. In addition, it is always preferable to use fresh juice rather than packaged or bottled juice. This applies almost universally - it is true if you are consuming the juice and also if you are using the juice for some other purpose, such as applying it to your skin as part of a home remedy. Commercially available fruit juice often has a variety of other ingredients added to it - these include sugar, various preservatives, and sometimes even artificial flavoring. Some juices are also diluted, and for this home remedy, you need pure, fresh lemon (or lime) juice. In addition, some lime or lemon drinks are entirely synthetic, and contain negligible amounts of juice, or may not contain juice at all. In any case, it should be easy enough to get both lemons and limes, as today most fruits are available in most parts of the world, and both lemons and limes are quite commonly used in all kinds of cooking.
However, you should not expect very drastic results from this treatment, especially if your acne scars are very severe. There are of course several different types of acne scars, and the mildest scars usually disappear with time. Most often, acne leaves dark spots on the face, and these are not technically scars. These dark spots are not scar tissue, they are simply spots of hyperpigmentation. If this is what you have, then the lemon juice remedy (and several other home remedies too) may help to some extent. It will of course still take time for the marks to fade, but the home remedies will speed up the process a bit. However, these remedies are unlikely to work for actual acne scars, such as the typical "ice pick scars", which are deep depressions on the surface of the skin, or hypertrophic scarring, where scar tissue forms outgrowths. Commercially available creams are also use useless against such scars, and the only option is to either live with them or go in for procedures such as dermabrasion or laser therapy.

"Embedded developers will relish the opportunity to integrate a native 64-bit, dual-core processor in passively cooled, ultra stable systems." VIA Eden X2 – Dual-Core Processing on a Fanless Power Budget Leveraging the latest 40nm manufacturing process, VIA Eden X2 processors combine two 64-bit, superscalar VIA Eden cores on one die, offering enhanced multi-tasking and superb multimedia performance on a rigidly low power budget. VIA Eden X2 processors are the most power-efficient processors on the market, designed to offer the ideal solution for fanless system design. VIA Eden X2 processors bring additional features that include VIA VT virtualization, a technology that allows legacy software and applications to be used in virtual scenarios without impacting on performance.

Systems and boards featuring the VIA Eden X2 will be available in Q2 2011. For information about VIA Eden X2 processors, please visit this page.
When it talks about virtualization, is it "the same" as vt-x? I can't find any info on it. I'm going to assume it isn't, and programs like virtualbox would need to add support for via's version of virtualization.
sounds like a net-book processor to me, its the only market they had success in and its gone thanks to intel and amd moving in
yeah but i got the idea from the via nano procesors which were in some low end netbooks - my school has some which take 3 mins to log on

Jane Austen's novels usually end in happy matrimony. How does the conclusion of Schine's novel correspond with this pattern but also break it?

RE: How does the conclusion of Schine's novel compare with those of Austen's?
Austen's novels are traditional comedies--not in the "ha ha, that's funny" sense but in the sense that they end pedictably with suitable marriages. The main characters all find happy relationships with people they "should" marry. I was expecting Schine's novel to end the same way, but I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't. Although Miranda found a loving partner and is contemplating marriage, it's an untraditional marriage that (unfortunately) is not fully sanctioned by the community. Annie's match with Roberts is more like a typical Austen match. Betty's end is much more tragic and definitely not like anything Austen would write.

RE: How does the conclusion of Schine's novel compare with those of Austen's?
I agree. I, too, was pleased to see Schine change the traditional "marriage plot" ending to something else. Though, I have to say, I was surprised that Betty died. I wanted her to thrive beyond her divorce, not have that be the end of her life. It felt to me like Schine was punishing Josie and beating the reader over the head with "divorce is traumatizing; look what it caused here." Perhaps I'm reading too far here, but I didn't think a death fit with the overall themes of regeneration and second chances. Sarah D

I thought Josie should have died...and let Betty collect the spoils of an unfortunate war. I enjoyed most of her thought processes. In essence she went into death is divorce mode right away. If anyone should have survived it should of been Betty -she started her regeneration early. Penny

RE: How does the conclusion of Schine's novel compare with those of Austen's?
Schine's ending is contemporary, with the unexpected (Betty's death, although she had acted as if Josie had died, her marriage died), the "controversial" (marriage of Miranda to a woman, although there is no controversy there for me and I don't understand how there should be if we respect civil rights of all) , the mundane (Josie and Felicity would continue on in their marriage) and the reconciliation of Annie and Miranda into the freedom to be who they would be as individuals, yet remain as sisters. Austen's ending is predictable, somewhat comfortable, traditional. Quick Reply Please login to post a response.

It's odd that Toyota uses words like "exciting," "dynamic," "emotional" and "potent" to describe its all-new 2013 Avalon.
Why is that weird? Because the Avalon has become a huge hit by doing just the opposite of those things.
The Avalon was originally designed as an alternative to the classic, all-American full-size sedans like the Ford Crown Victoria, Buick Park Avenue and Pontiac Bonneville — those spacious, softly sprung cars that made up the meat and potatoes of the American car market for decades.
Toyota did such a good job designing the Avalon — and, in fairness, the American car makers did such a lousy job updating their own large sedans — that today, the Avalon basically stands on its own in this class. The others have all died off.
The Avalon also faces the headwind of a changing marketplace. Today's buyers who want a spacious family car are more likely to look at crossovers than full-size sedans, so the newest Avalon had to add some spice to keep things interesting. One of the biggest departures is with the body.
While the last Avalon had styling that was so dull it was hardly even noticeable, the new one has more visual appeal. It's almost muscular, chiseled and athletic, the kind of flowing, sloped shape you would expect to find on a sports sedan but not something this large.
Inside, it gets even better. For a frame of reference, Toyota hasn't led the fit-and-finish races for car cabins lately. The American and Korean brands have upped their game enough to outshine some of Toyota's models in the past couple of years, and the Avalon — while feeling solid — had an interior that was just as bland as the rest of the car.
In the new, "dynamic" Avalon, though, things have changed in a big way. This cabin is now the best work Toyota's interior designers have ever done.
Not only is the new generation car more interesting on the inside than last year's model — with fascinating textures and shapes — but it's also reaching the kind of quality feel that Toyota pulled off so successfully years ago.
The new interior design looks more three-dimensional rather than flat, with a separate panel centered around the driver and soft-touch materials that are stitched by hand. The Avalon has always been a premium car, as opposed to luxury, but this design comes awfully close to what you would expect in a Lexus.
From the driver's perspective, the Avalon formula hasn't changed all that much. It's still very much about the quiet, smooth experience.
The biggest difference is in fuel economy. For the first time ever, the Avalon is available as a hybrid model that is rated for 40 mpg in combined city and highway driving — an impressive number for a car this size. The ordinary Avalon is more efficient, too, earning a 31-mpg highway rating
