Discovery Labs Cleared To Market AFECTAIR In U.S.
WARRINGTON, Pa., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSCO), a specialty biotechnology company dedicated to advancing a new standard in respiratory critical care, today announced AFECTAIR® is now registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is cleared to be marketed in the United States. AFECTAIR is a proprietary patient interface technology that simplifies delivery of aerosolized medications to patients requiring ventilator support.
"We are pleased to have AFECTAIR registered with the FDA and we are eager to move this proprietary technology to commercialization in the latter part of 2012," said W. Thomas Amick, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Labs. "Our ability to bring AFECTAIR to market is a testament to our commitment to advancing a new standard in respiratory critical care."
AFECTAIR originates from the AEROSURF® development program and is a proprietary disposable ventilator circuit/patient interface connector that simplifies the delivery of aerosolized medications to critical-care patients requiring ventilatory support from either intermittent mechanical ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure. To date, in vitro studies suggest that the AFECTAIR technology may be an effective new solution for delivering aerosolized medicine to patients receiving ventilator support while providing healthcare professionals with a simplified alternative to current practices. According to national health statistics and market assessment data, it is estimated that each year more than 1.3 million patients in the United States and European Union receive aerosolized medications while requiring ventilator support. It is estimated that AFECTAIR represents a potential revenue opportunity of approximately $50-75 million for Discovery Labs.
"In preparation for this milestone, we identified a number of operational and commercial options intended to support the commercial introduction of AFECTAIR," said Thomas F. Miller, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Discovery Labs, "We are now focused on implementing a commercial plan that includes the establishment of key strategic manufacturing and distribution relationships."Discovery Labs is also pursuing a European Conformity (CE) marking for commercialization of the initial AFECTAIR products in the European Union (EU) and believes that it may be in a position to initiate the commercial introduction of the initial AFECTAIR products in EU in late 2012.

Mann's® Textured Stretch® Trolling Baits
Casting and trolling bait dives deep--6' to 20'--where it looks and moves just like a real live baitfish. Ideal for grouper, striper, and sea bass.
Mann's® Textured Stretch® Trolling Baits 2 2
productive This is one of the best lures in my tackle box. I troll the 15+ and 20+ in 12-18 feet of water digging the bottom and it produces a lot of bass and even some cats. In deeper water I troll them for stripers and white bass and Mann's baits always swim straight and true at any speed. Nothing bugs me more than having to pull baits in trying to tune them to stay out of my other lines. December 27, 2010
Best Saltwater lure ever I used this lure exclusively along the Florida/Alabama Gulf Coast this last Spring and Summer with exceptional results. Typical day we hooked anywhere from 10-15 King/Spanish/Little Tunny/Grouper/Blues. Tracks straight, only downside is the fish hit it so hard it scratches the paint off. Great lure. December 29, 2009

NY seals 1st state gun laws since Newtown massacre
Legislation has toughest restrictions on weapons in U.S.
CAPITOL New York lawmakers agreed to pass the toughest gun control law in the nation and the first since the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, and now dare other states and Washington to follow.
"This is a scourge on society," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday night, six days after making gun control a centerpiece of his progressive agenda in his State of the State address. The bipartisan effort was fueled by the Newton tragedy that took the lives of 20 first graders and six educators. "At what point do you say, 'No more innocent loss of life.'"
Sen. Jeffrey Klein, leader of the Independent Democratic Conference in the Senate, said it is landmark legislation. "This is not about taking anyone's rights away," said Klein, a Bronx Democrat. "It's about a safe society ... today we are setting the mark for the rest of the county to do what's right."
Newly elected Assemblyman Phil Steck , D-Colonie, was planning to vote for the bill whenever it reached the floor.
"I'm strongly in favor of it," he said. "I think it's an important step forward."
He added that there are "certainly a lot of problems" the legislation doesn't address -- including gun trafficking state to state -- but said more solutions could be added later, when they are developed.
"As with any legislation, it can be amended at a later date," he said.
But local Republican representatives were largely opposed.
The rush to move the legislation was criticized by Assemblyman Tony Jordan, R-Jackson, who was recently elevated to the second position in his conference. He argued that the message of necessity from Gov. Andrew Cuomo , which skips the three-day aging period for legislation, was a political move by the governor.
Jordan said the state Legislature should take time to debate the issue of gun violence, including mental health concerns, for at least a few days. Instead, he said, "what we're getting is a rush to pass this.
Assemblyman James Tedisco , R-Glenville, said he planned to vote no.
"It would be a shame not to do something about the type of violence we've seen recently but it would be more shameful to do something that accomplishes nothing except giving people a false sense of well-being," he said in a written statement Monday.
"Tonight we're being asked to vote on legislation that would purportedly make New York a safer state but will accomplish nothing but penalizing law-abiding New Yorkers. Here are the facts: rifles accounted for five of the 769 homicides in New York State in 2011. That same year, 161 deaths were caused by stabbings and 31 were from a blunt instrument such as a hammer. This legislation does not take any of this into account."
But he added that he supports increased penalties for those who commit violence on school grounds, use an illegal gun or give a gun to someone who isn't allowed to have one. He also supports strengthening mental health laws, he said.
Check out how other local state representatives feel about the package at the Capital Region Scene.
The measure, which calls for a tougher assault weapons ban and restrictions on ammunition and the sale of guns, passed the Senate 43-18 on the strength of support from Democrats, many of whom previously sponsored bills that were once blocked by Republicans. The Democrat-led Assembly gaveled out before midnight and planned to take the issue up at 10 a.m. Tuesday. It is expected to pass easily.
The governor confirmed the proposal, previously worked out in closed session, also would mandate a police registry of assault weapons, grandfathering in assault weapons already in private hands.
It would create a more powerful tool to require the reporting of mentally ill people who say they intend to use a gun illegally and would address the unsafe storage of guns, the governor confirmed.
It was agreed upon exactly a month since the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy.
"It is well-balanced, it protects the Second Amendment," said Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos of Long Island. "And there is no confiscation of weapons, which was at one time being considered.
"This is going to go after those who are bringing illegal guns into the state, who are slaughtering people in New York City," Skelos said. "This is going to put people in jail and keep people in jail who shouldn't be out on the street in the first place."
Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins of Yonkers noted most bills had been pushed by Democrats in past years, but bottled up by Republicans.

Landmark gun control legislation advancesEnlarge photos | View thumbnails
"The Senate Democrats were proud to provide the votes to make this crucial package possible," said Stewart-Cousins, leader of the traditional Democratic conference. "The fact is, the bills passed today should have been enacted a long time ago."
Cuomo said he wanted quick action to avoid a run on assault rifles and ammunition as he tries to address what he estimates is about 1 million assault rifles in New York state.
Republican Sen. Greg Ball called that political opportunism in a rare criticism of the popular and powerful governor seen by his supporters as a possible candidate for president in 2016.
"We haven't saved any lives tonight, except one: the political life of a governor who wants to be president," said Ball who represents part of the Hudson Valley. "We have taken an entire category of firearms that are currently legal that are in the homes of law-abiding, tax paying citizens. ... We are now turning those law-abiding citizens into criminals."
Under current state law, assault weapons are defined by having two "military rifle" features spelled out in the law. The proposal would reduce that to one feature and include the popular pistol grip.
Private sales of assault weapons to someone other than an immediate family would be subject to a background check through a dealer. Also Internet sales of assault weapons would be banned, and failing to safely store a weapon could be subject to a misdemeanor charge.
Ammunition magazines would be restricted to seven bullets, from the current 10, and current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
In another provision, a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally would be required to report the incident to a mental health director who would have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient's gun could be taken from him or her.
The legislation also increases sentences for gun crimes including the shooting of a first responder that Cuomo called the "Webster provision." Last month in the western New York town of Webster, two firefighters were killed after responding to a fire set by the shooter, who eventually killed himself.
Senate Deputy Majority Leader Thomas Libous of Broome County voted against the bill and said it was a tough vote for upstate Republicans.
"I have had thousands of emails and calls," Libous said. "I have to respect their wishes." He said many of constituents worry the bill will conflict with the Second Amendment's right to bear arms while others anguish over shootings like at Newtown, Conn., and Columbine, Colo.
The closed-door meetings prompted about a dozen gun workers to travel more than two hours to Albany to protest the legislation they say could cost 300 to 700 jobs in the economically hard-hit Mohawk Valley.
"I have three small kids myself," said Jamie Rudall, a unionized worker who polishes shotgun receivers. "So I know what it means, the tragedy ... we need to look at ways to prevent that, rather than eliminate the rights of law-abiding citizens."
In the gun debate, one concern for New York is its major gun manufacturer upstate.
Remington Arms Co. makes the Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle that was used in the Connecticut shootings and again on Christmas Eve when the two firefighters were slain in Webster. The two-century-old Remington factory in Ilion in central New York employs 1,000 workers in a Republican Senate district.
Assemblyman Marc Butler, a Republican who represents the area, decried the closed-door meetings by Senate Republicans and the Democratic majority of the Assembly as "politics at its worst."
The bill would be the first test of the new coalition in control of the Senate, which has long been run by Republicans opposed to gun control measures. The chamber is now in the hands of Republicans and five breakaway Democrats led by Klein, an arrangement expected to result in more progressive legislation.
Former Republican Sen. Michael Balboni said that for legislators from the more conservative upstate region of New York, gun control "has the intensity of the gay marriage issue." In 2011, three of four Republicans who crossed the aisle to vote for same-sex marriage ended up losing their jobs because of their votes.
AP Writer Michael Virtanen contributed to this report from Albany.

7:33 a.m.
My grandfather was born in Ilion, and lived there almost his entire life. He also worked for Remington. I feel for all of the workers at the Arms plant, and for the people of Ilion. That said, the appropriate response to their economic needs is for the state to offer assistance in drawing in other businesses and forms of manufacturing, not ignoring the gun problem.
7:58 a.m.
Farley voted to keep high capacity magazines, and anti-personnel weapons legal.
8:19 a.m.
They won't think of us again till they need your votes! Let's take up our cause now! Term limits, and reform how they are paid and their benefit packages! We as a state can not longer pay life time insurance and pensions on PT employees after serving(yeah I know poor word to use since they serve themselves) one day!
11:15 a.m.
Once again the gov. and dems. have taken the easy, ineffectual route, catering to the dim witted supporters of his left wing extremism, rather than doing the hard work of solving the problem. It shows that the perspicacity required to solve NY problems is absent.

OLYMPIA — Submitted for your approval, as Rod Serling used to say at the beginning of "Twilight Zone." Or disapproval, as the case may be.
Until this morning, this was the photo the Senate Republican Caucus web site used to illustrate last week's hearing by the Law and Justice Committee on Sex Trafficking. You may recall it as the hearing at Gonzaga Law School.
Or you may recall it as the hearing where Shared Hope International praised the Legislature for its work to make it easier to crack down on sex traffickers and child prostitution. Washington got an A for its laws fighting sex trafficking. Over in Idaho, they were getting a D.
This morning, the Senate Republican Caucus web site was down, and the photo was removed, although a spokesman for Committee Chairman Mike Padden said that was probably a coincidence. The hearing was more than a week ago, Eric Campbell said, and the site was rotating features to get more current things up.
Padden said later that he didn't select the photo, and hadn't even seen it before it was removed.
"I would have not put it up. I don't approve of it," Padden said, adding minorities are more likely to be victims of sex trafficking.
We should note that this is a "stock photo", one that has been used other places to illustrate sex trafficking or child pornography, primarily on web sites with ties to religious organizations. In some versions of the image, the hands over the mouth don't seem to be quite as dark as in the above image.
What grade should the SRC get for its photo selection?
OLYMPIA – The Senate tried to strengthen laws against human trafficking Monday, approving a pair of bills that would crack down on sex crimes involving minors.
In the first of two unanimous votes, the Senate agreed to add a fine of up to $5,000 on top of other penalties for anyone convicted of paying for sex with a minor has used an internet ad to find the prostitute. The bill is a response to a court's rejection of a law passed last year that tried to restrict and penalize the websites that carry the ads.
The Senate then passed a bill that would to expand penalties for against people who recruit minors to become prostitutes or those who patronize them.
The state needs to do what it can to prevent teens from being lured into the sex trade, said Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, who called human trafficking is the modern term for slavery.

"An adaptation of a recipe from "Dinnertime Easy: Slow Cooker Recipes." I love the combination of spicy, sweet and hot that emerges in this dish, though the flavor will vary based on the type of curry used. Part of why I love this one is that the taste is even better the next day, so it's a great option for those of us in smaller households and cook once and plan for leftovers. As presented this is 5 WW points per serving."
Serving Size: 1 (338 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"Very good meal! We made with boneless skinless thighs and turned out great. I do agree the cooking time might be a little long. Maybe cooking on low for 4-5 hours would work better. The carrots picked up the sweetness of the sauce, and the chicken had a nice flavor. Not overly curry tasting. May add more "spice" next time. Also, we had a lot of carrots left over, maybe will use less next time. Will definitely make again."
"Made for Photo Tag. Smells gorgeous and tastes oh so yummy. The dijon added another depth of flavour to this dish.Yum Yum YUm! I served it with corn and mashed potatoes!The sauce was really good over the mash."
"Smelled wonderful and I loved the sauce - the curry was a great addition to chicken. The red peppers on top were perfectly done and added a nice flavor. I did this with a side of jasmine rice - yummy! I had to substitute regular yellow mustard w/ a dash of Worcestershire sauce for grainy brown mustard. I also cooked this for 3 hrs instead of the recommended 3 1/2 - 4 hrs because the chicken was already overdone and dry at 3 hrs. Will try again, perhaps covered in the oven next time after browning the chicken on the stovetop. I think the flavor of chicken thighs would go great with this too."

Loved the Hotel Alcantara!from CMac1029
Ideal for a stopoverfrom Sc0user
Depsite this hiccup the hotel was clean, cheap and very very central - for sightseeing, for eating, for going shopping and for the gardens. We needed a place to rest our heads when we were out and about and that is what we got. Staff were ok and if you are with friends or a couple this is ideal.
And the flamenco show underneath is fantastic!
Fabulous location, friendly stafffrom elissamae

Bad valuefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Clean, good location, but...from PaulinNJ
No, my problem is that the rooms, while very clean, are like prison cells: bare walls, small, no seating other than the beds. If you're really active and spend very little time in the room, this isn't a problem. But if, like me, you have youngsters/teens, then make sure that your room is laid out with your needs in mind!
Wonderful Hotel!from chandeb

Top Local Tips for Sevilla
Smoking ban in Spain Don't be fooled by Spain's half-hearted attempts to implement a limited "ban" on smoking. The law is that all restaurants about 1000 sq ft need to have a non-smoking section, and that those below that size get to choose whether they are completely smoke free of completely smoking. No one except for the ice cream and pastry shops have chosen to be smoke free (and I mean pastry shops, not cafes), and there are virtually no restaurants in Seville, or much of Spain for that matter, that are over that size stipulation. As a result, perhaps 1 out of every 20 cafes is non-smoking, and we couldn't find a single restaurant or tapas bar in town that was recommended and non-smoking.
Take a Taxi! There is no metro in Seville, and the bus is an option. However, the cabs are only about 5 Euro to absolutely anywhere! So, if you are lugging bags to check in or out, I would definitely recommend just grabbing a taxi. The taxis are clean, the drivers are friendly (even to non-Spanish speakers). Wel! worth it!
Casa de la Memoria A great place to see authentic artistic flamenco is at the Casa de la memoria next to Al cantara hotel in the center of Seville.

Charles A. KiorpesMarch 28,2013Charles A. Kiorpes
PALM CITY, Fla. Charles A. Kiorpes, 89, died Friday, March 22, 2013, in Stuart, FL. He had lived at Harbour Ridge near Palm City, FL, since 1989.
He was born and grew up in Yonkers, N.Y., where he graduated from Saunders Trade School. Charles continued his education at Columbia University, earning a B.S. Degree in Engineering.
He spent many years, at numerous locations, with the Ford Motor Company in technical and managerial assignments, followed by top executive positions at White Motor and Clark Equipment corporations.
During World War II, he served three years with the Army Air Forces, finishing his tour as a 1st Lt B-29 Navigator after 21 combat missions over Japan with the 3rd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron based on Guam.
Prior to going overseas, and while in training at UVM in Burlington, he met Ferne Wilkins of Rutland, who was in training for her RN at Mary Fletcher Hospital. Following her graduation, Ferne joined the Army Nurse Corps. Ferne and Charles were married in 1945 on the island of Biak, Dutch New Guinea, when they were both on duty in the South Pacific.
He was a life-long golfer, having learned the game as a caddie in Westchester County, N.Y., and played with a number of pros over the years, including Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson. He will be missed by his many friends on and off the golf course.
Charles is survived by his wife Ferne; their sons Anthony and Timothy; their daughter Lynne; his sister Elizabeth; his brothers Steven and George; Fernes sister Olive (Peg) Johnson; and six grandchildren.
His remains will be buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Rutland.
Donations in his memory can be made to the American Red Cross.MORE IN Obituaries1224 rh obits morgan edited photo flag Full Story1224 rh obits l'heureux paid no photo no flag Full Story1224 rh obits hamblin photo no flag Full Story

Introducing myself and my journal: Seven Sisters Infinite Voices
About Me:
Hi. I am Rama Sivaram. You can call me just Rama. Phonetically, the first a is short and the second a is long and gives me the identity of being a she! And I simply love it, because of the complex mix of different quotients from enough IQ to abundant EQ and SQ to be complete selves. Now you can understand my journal title and subtitle.
Trained in humanities I am virtually exposed to the sacred and profane, Adam and Eve, the serpent sweetened apple, the same apple which fell on Newton's curly head- defining gravity and the physics of the third law of motion for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, social constructs, demons and femme fatale, quantity versus quality and the world toppling over itself with six billion + and still going on as the world clock continues to tick and statistics, those formidable numbers keep pouring out of dot matrix printers.
But I am not virtual; I am real and my experiences professional and personal. My own tryst with breast cancer and as direct witness to losing family members and women to it, I kept my fairytales, facts and fiction for passive playtime and have become an active player in all those things I witnessed firsthand and raise my voice. Providentially, I got involved with cancer advocacy, especially breast cancer 5 years back after my own diagnosis in 2004. I decided to commit myself to the cause.
Having gone through it all, the need to for advocacy, community education and working for a cause- the fight against cancer, has been overwhelming. My day to day meeting with cancer has made me take up for Community Breast Health and Cancer Education, helping organizing support groups, lymphedema clinic, breast cancer recovery programs, Counseling and helping raise a cadre of volunteers for cancer awareness and Anti Tobacco programs. Most important of all is advocating for equitable, affordable, accessible, available cancer and health care delivery from prevention to palliation and quality of life.
My Passions:
To do what I can to raise awareness about health and environment
My Challenges:
To reform, enable and a workable health policy and seeing it implemented flawlessly
My Vision for the Future:
A healthy and peaceful society of persons- people, Not separate entities M and F
My Areas of Expertise:
Health Education and Counseling and simple health communication

Woz: How it all began
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and inventor of the Apple I and II, talks with the BBC about starting Apple in 1976. "Everything was ... thinking about the good of humanity," he said. His starting salary? $24,000 a year: maybe a quarter of what an Apple engineer makes today.
For those of you new to the Apple universe, this is an entertaining 10-minute brief of how it all began.
Woz has probably told this story a million times, but he talks about it with the same enthusiasm as if it happened yesterday. He discusses the Silicon Valley homebrew movement, Microsoft, and the perceived animosity between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
Also -- and totally off-topic -- Woz wears a giant watch. I mean, seriously. Huge.

VATICAN CITY (AP) – Some off-the-cuff remarks today from Pope Francis are the latest sign that he has become sensitized to the gravity of the church's abuse scandal.
The pontiff said today that he took personal responsibility for what he described as the "evil" of priests who raped and molested children. Francis asked forgiveness from victims, and said the church must do more to protect the young.
He said, "We don't want to take a step back in dealing with this problem and the sanctions that must be imposed."
It's the first time a pope has taken personal responsibility for the sex crimes of priests, and has begged forgiveness.
Last month, Francis named four women and an abuse survivor to a sex abuse advisory panel. The Vatican has suggested that the panel will address the issue of sanctioning bishops who cover up for pedophiles.
Francis delivered his comments today to members of a French Catholic network of organizations that protect the rights of children.
The main U.S. victim's group, SNAP, says it's waiting for more. The group's outreach director says, "Until the pope takes decisive action that protects kids, be skeptical and vigilant."
170-c-16-(Nicole Winfield, AP correspondent)-"to this issue"-AP correspondent Nicole Winfield reports that victims' groups that have criticized Pope Francis for what they saw as a lack of attention to sexual abusers in the clergy might welcome these latest comments. (11 Apr 2014)

Great bag

Comments about TimBuk2 Medium Bicycle Seat Pack:
"Medium", is relative so, I don't know why the other reviewers gave it only 2 stars because it wasn't as big as they thought it would be. I purchased it because it is a bit smaller than the bag I was using. I needed a bag for a tube, car key, and a few small tools. It fits the bill perfectly, looks great, and fits nice and tight under my saddle. I carry my phone in my jersey pocket, so no need for that to be in my bag. I have a (forget what it is called) strap that wraps around the tube and tire levers. It keeps them tight and compact and makes for a bit more room in the bag. So, if you need a bag for a few things for group rides and shorter rides, this is a great bag.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Much smaller than advertised
By Mike
from Rochester, NY
This is by no means a medium bag, it is tiny. Fits a tube and multitool, but nothing else. Returned it and purchased a different "medium" bag.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not medium-peanut sized
By Back into Mtn biking
from Utica, MI
This is not a medium bag, an iphone will not fit in this bag! You can barely fit your keyfob for your car in this, thats it!Very small, if you just want it to fit your keys it's fine.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

BEHOLD!! DH and The Blanket of Power!! PTR for 10/26-11/2
This is my first TR. One reason I am posting it is because I love the DIS and get so much info from everyone, it gives me a sense of Disney Community.
The other reason is to let Saintstickets know I CAN spell, even though I went to school in Mississippi.
The cast of this trip are as follows
MeLucretia, age 43, nurse, the Disney Freak of the family, WDW Planner and Disney Music Playlist maniac. Favorite character---Mr. Ray
DH---Todd, age 48, cute fireman who loves Disney but isnt a freak about it. He likes to take pictures and is an AKV purist who does not want to stay at any other DVC Resorts. Favorite character---Tigger
MIL---Karen, love her to death, travel buddy when DH doesnt want to go, Favorite characterFairy Godmother
BIL---Shawn, 44, engineer working on his doctorate. Yes, he is a rocket scientist but still had trouble finding Mara on that first trip to Jambo.
My Mama and Daddy come with us too in alternating years.
DH and I do not have two legged children, ours has four. Her name is Trinity and she is a lively Jack Russell Terrier sporting a Minnie tag. She stays with my Mom and Dad on these trips or DHs cousin comes to the house to stay with her. She is a spoiled precious Princess to us.
I always start the excel spreadsheet with park hours, then parades and fireworks, then ADRs. Everyone expects a spreadsheet and say they appreciate the effort, so no one really ever complains. After 13 trips everyone starts asking about the spreadsheet 6 months prior to check-inthey have been trained. We love to eat at Disney so ADRs are the crux of our trips. We always do these threeCali Grill, Fultons and Derby. This year we are trying Shulas for the first time and it will be a first time at Bluezoo for MIL and BIL.
For some reason DH has it in his head that he does not eat 24 hours before a flight, going or coming. This aggravates me and I try to get him to at least drink water. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesnt. He also only drinks bottled water in WDW. So when we land, its Katie bar the door and he comes out of the gate running. He just doesnt travel well. He doesnt like the confinement of the plane. He isnt claustrophobic; he just doesnt like sitting there. So Xanax is the fifth entity on the trip and he is awesome. He calms DH down and they sit quietly on the plane.
Now, those of you wondering why we just dont drive from MS9 hour trip. Well there was an incident in 2005, the last time we drove to WDW...
I had worked all day and we left around 5 p.m., we slowly made our way into FL and the plan was to spend the night in Lake City. We stopped and ate, had to buy a pair of shoes for DH, etc. So we arrived in Lake City about midnight, checked-in and got in bed .or so I thought. DH didnt have Xanax with him this trip and he evidently was too excited to sleep. I however died. About 3:00 a.m., something woke me up a sense of something not well or off. I woke up and noticed the door to the hotel was open what the heck. Then I looked over and DH was sitting on the bed facing me, completely dressed, suitcases loaded and staring at me. Yeah I was thinking, Redrum, redrum, too. But he looked at me and said, MICKEY IS WAITING, MICKEY IS WAITING!! He survived the beating, I got dressed and we were on the road before 5 a.m. Needless to say, we no longer drive. SW is great though and we drive to New Orleans for a non-stop to MCO. Xanax keeps DH company while I drive and we fly.
For this trip we scored 2 value studios at Jambo---which left us enough points for a May trip this year. This is our first time staying at Jambowe prefer Kidanis vibe but we are hopefully optimistic. DH and I each have an OL. Oh yes, poor man laughed at me when I told him I needed one. Once he saw how convenient and cool it washe just had to have one, too. So mine is named Duffy and DH calls his the Pooh Box. Go figure
THE BLANKET OF POWERDH has a thing about his blanket at home. Gee, the more I talk about DH the more neurotic he soundseh, I love him. So he has the wolf blanket that he sleeps under every night on top of the covers and then he has a second one he sleeps under at the fire department. Trinity likes the wolf blanket, too, when he gives her the opportunity. I, however, sleep under the regular covers of the bed like a normal person. So for the last couple of years DH complains when we go to WDW about not having a damn blanket. So just pack the wolf blanket no I want a Disney blanket that I can keep in my Owners Locker .ohhhh .so that is why we pay for an extra OL. So he finally found one that was a leopard print. Just perfect for our stays at Kidani. Warm, snuggly, large enough, although not too big, and a design in keeping with the resort. When we stayed at Kidani in 2011 with my parents, DH used the blanket for the first time. One night we heard a CM give a lecture about his homeland and how important animal life wasand that the leopard print was one of the most prized because it was a symbol of power and royalty. So behold, DHs blanket is now called the Blanket of Power. When he opened his OL this past May. I could hear him, sing out like Mufasa, Behold, the Blanket of Power! Aaaaaaahhhh. When I talk of Disney he talks of the BoP (Blanket of Power). At least twice the last two trips he has paraded around the room wearing it as a cape .yeah, this is the state of the union when left to your own devices. So this trip will be called, DH and the Blanket of Power (said in a James Earl Jones echoing kinda voice).
Now that I have adequately described the loopiness that is our family we shall proceed to the next chapter.

So I am at day 9day one past my on-line registration day woohoo. Do I think it gives me a super edge for a great room or speedy check-in...no but then that is not the point. The point of Online registration is helping me cope with the next 9 days of waiting. If I log into the DVC website to check-in, I am being pro-active and can sense the trip coming around the corner.
I like the Stages of Disney Planning, which when used effectively, help one cope with waiting.
Stage 1-(12 months before check-in)Decide the date for the coming year, secure vacation time on the calendar and encourage my parents or MIL to join us (no we do not have to twist their arm).
Stage 2-(11 months before check in) Start the Excel Spreadsheet by inserting dates for the trip and possible scenarios not requiring park hours(every Disser knows I have to wait another 5 months for those)
Stage 3-(10-6 months before check-in) .Suffer the wait
Stage 4-(6 months before check-in) Thank the Maker I now get to make ADRs. I allow everyone to think they have a say but secretly I control their ADR destiny. Oh the hours of anguish, trying to decide, when and where based on previous experience, crowd expectation and of course planetary alignment.
Stage 5-(6 months to 10 days prior to check in)think about the trip almost continuously send CDs of music to family or friends who are planning a trip.
Stage 6-(9 days and counting) begin to crack under the pressure of waiting, admit I have a problem, then come to the DIS a lot since you guys enable the behavior.
The plan is for DH, me and MIL to drive to New Orleans for a non-stop to MCO. We will have Tiffany Towncar pick us up. We arrive Friday 10/26.
Yes, we do drive 2 hours west to fly 2 hours east remember DH survived the beating and this has been our compromise. He has a refill for his Xanax.
I am looking forward to our first stay at Jambonoise and all like an African Marketplace yeaahhh!...thats the ticket?!? We will see how it goes. I am anxious to see just how small a value studio really is.
BIL works very hard and in keeping with his scientific nerdiness-we have to organize the trip for him. I book his flights and pick up with Tiffany. There will be several phone calls the Saturday after we arrive to make sure he gets to the Birmingham Airport, gets on the right plane and goes to Jambo instead of Kidani. Bless his heart, but I guess if you have someone to do it for you .hmmm, I am BILs enabler.
He has had a rough year and this is a great opportunity for him to relax.
Does anyone else, wash their car for a trip to the airport? It is driving me nuts it..must be clean. I guess DH and I can work on it this weekend. He is already on vacation from the FD. Lucky guy!!

It sounds like you've got all this planning figured out! I was seriously cracking up imagining the unveiling of the "Blanket of Power"! Love it! You are not alone in your wanting the car to be clean, I'm the same way. It's also much nicer to come home to a clean car, though if I parked my car at the airport it would be covered in snow when I got back. Can't wait to hear more about your planning and trip!

Trip Plan
Day 1 10/26- Arrive and get to Jambo. Check-in. Meet Duffy and Pooh Box and unpack if the room is ready. If not bell services will watch our stuff and we will head to either Nine Dragons or Fultons for lunch. I think Fultons may win. We love the Calamari. No ADRS on arrival day. Maybe DTD or Illuminations that evening (but alas it is Fri night during F&Wwill we brave the crowds?)
Day 2 10/27- Hope to eat breakfast at Rain Forrest at AK. MIL and I will split a platter and DH gets the Eggs Benedict. We will probably do AK and then get back to the resort to welcome BIL that evening. Wish me luck..the last time I was in front of RFC, I dropped my Iphone4 and cracked the screen two weeks later I dropped my Iphone 3 and really busted the screen. So now I have been banished from the kingdom and left to use DHs Iphone 3. But on the bright side I just got an Otter box for my phonecan we guess the color why lime green of course. Maybe go to DTD tonight and start parks with BIL the next day.
DH and I have APs and the TIW card. Works great for us and we were able to get two trips out of the passes this year. MIL and BIL are park hoppers so we travel great together.
Day 3 10/28- Boma at 9:45 for breakfast. We love it there and now it will be in the same resort..woohoo! DH and BIL are big guys and I do better with a hearty breakfast and lite lunch or skip lunch all together. Then since we have done MNSSHP numerous times we are eating at the Brown Derby at 5:25then heading to MNSSHP. Both MIL and BIL really like eating here, DH and I love the crab cakes. So everyone agreed that if we got to the party a bit late, we would be OK. Hopefully it will not be as hot as the one we attended 10/29/09. It was miserable.
Day 4 10/29- Yum Yum, Cali Grill at 5:30 then maybe over to watch MSEP. We love the filet and get a flatbread. BIL likes sushi there and then we get MIL her only glass of wine each year. She and I both love really sweet wines and theirs is delicious. Might need to do some laundry. With my heartburn it is not like I can get back to the room and go to bed.
Day 5 10/30- Bluezoo 5:00. DH and I almost get the restaurant to ourselves this time of evening and we love the dishes. This will be a first for MIL and BIL. The four of us really enjoyed Todd Englishs other restaurant Olives in DC a few years back. The walk may do us good to watch Illuminations.
Day 6 10/31- Halloween Night at MK. We have done this the last few years and have a great time. We tend to do more than one ticket event so we can stay in the park later ending the night at 9 and going back to the room isnt that much fun on vacation. We do not have an ADR for tonight. I compromised and gave up Plaza Restaurant for a possible late lunch at Fultons so DH and BIL can compete over who eats the most calamari. I aint kidding it is a food fest.
Day 7 11/01- Last night (I dont even like to write that). DH is sitting this ADR outremember he does not like to eat before a day of flying yeah, there is no pill for that. So MIL, BIL and I will head over to Shulas for a meat feast looking forward to it. Maybe meet DH for after dinner fun at a park or most likely take a taxi back to room and pack.
Day 8 11/02- Fly home. BIL is on our flight to New Orleans then he goes back to BHam he said he didnt mind a few more minutes with family. The plane was going there anyway and we can all take one van back to the airport. Arent the sky caps at SW great . Last year James Carville was just ahead of us at check in I am a Republican ( kinda Independent) but he is my favorite love-to hate Democrat. I think he is funny and wish I could have shot him in the head with a RUBBERBAND whilst sitting behind him on the plane ( of course I wouldnt use a gun too much security and a possible small hole in the aircraft would make for a hasty descent)

We are back from the trip. In a nut shell it was a good vacation. We so lucked out on our rooms. We got studios at Jambo 5122 and 5124 right on the edge of the Sunset Savanna. The views were terrific. I spent Monday in our room due to a sinus infection and could not taste my steak at Cali Grill. That was disappointing but we were still at Disney. The weather was chilly and very windy most of the week and calmed down the closer we got to leaving of course. The buses were awesome and no longer than a 10 minute wait just once or twice.
The food at Bluezoo was terrific and I was able to taste some of the meal. We tried Shula's Steak House. Food and Service was very good but man is it dark in there. My MIL couldn't read the menu and a flashlight quickly appearred from Perry our wonderful waiter. In fact when I looked around the room everyone pretty much had flashlights. We were in the back corner where it was super dark. So we didn't enjoy that meal as much--we couldn't really see what we were eating and then in the dark the conversation kinda dropped off too. Glad I went but for that kinda money we will just do a second night at Cali Grill, Derby or Bluezoo.
I wondered how I would like Jambo. It is very convienent and our rooms were in such a great location to quickly get to the buses. It was nice not having to hop a bus to eat and just being able to go downstairs for Boma at breakfast. The noise in the lobby was not bad and its grandeur makes up for any shortcomings. We liked the resort more than I thought we would. I have decided that it is better staying there when we bring guests--but when it is just DH and I, I think we will stay at Kidani.
We did two Halloween parties which were fun and did a few rides and shows. We took breaks in the afternoons and didn't stress about getting places. My MIL and BIL went to MK Monday 10/29 the day I was so sick and found it horibly crowded, shoulder to shoulder, so after HM they left. The next day was a much lighter crowd. When our driver picked us up after dinner one night he said they had had an influx of 18,000 people that day--I guess due to Sandy.
All in all it was great and once again my Happy Place did not disappoint.

Creationists YouTube videos can be really stupidand funny, but it must be infuriating to try stop those morons teaching their nonsense in schools.

It's good to see so many people in this group.Evolution does not only apply to the development of all the species on earth - it also applies to evolution of ideas and actions. Groups and organizations and movements can evolve as well. It is important for us to learn from experience -trial and error.

Still the best game in Town!
I love a good mystery!
Now! Just for fun mind you - I'll just mention the fact that someone said we should hear either Tuesday or Thursday of this week who the new Coadjutor will be. Last week I was sure it would be announced and used this picture and so on...so just for good luck I'm using it again.
I went with Bishop Aquila last week and I have not changed my mind, now Mitchell and Judith of Our Word have said they have heard from a reliable source that he indeed will be the man named. So maybe - just maybe kids - we will hear this week. Maybe tomorrow for the feast of St Anthony and the anniversary of the 2nd apparition at Fatima of Our Lady.
May God bless Archbishop Flynn and his successor. This entire matter is kind of fun though, isn't it? And being a guy, I love being right. As my assistant at work said, "Why Terry, I've never known you to be wrong!" Walking away I heard her mutter, "Men always have to be right."
I hope I am! I hope I am! I hope I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Otherwise - Like Mitchell and Judith, I'm done with this story too!)

Can someone flip a bit to make this accessible or do I need more access? 1. http://www.w3.org/2012/09/25-text-minutes, http://www.w3.org/2012/09/25-text-irc 2. http://www.w3.org/2012/09/18-text-minutes, http://www.w3.org/2012/09/04-text-minutes, http://www.w3.org/2012/08/21-text-minutes, http://www.w3.org/2012/08/14-text-minutes, ...Received on Wednesday, 26 September 2012 18:37:47 GMT

I hate pretty much everything about this, but I had to give it a try. What do you think?
(I guess it's actually not as bad as I thought it might be. My voice isn't so terrible, but I'm definitely not very comfortable in front of the camera. I guess that would come… We'll see…)

samba domain controller - ubuntu
I have been following the HOWTO on setting up a SAMBA primary domain controller for Ubuntu on the howtoforge.com site and I am having a little trouble. I searched the forums and found somebody that had similar trouble and they said they resolved it, but I am unsure how. I am on page 5 of the tutorial where you type smbpasswd -a tom and after I enter the password for user tom i get this error:
tdb_update_sam: failing to store a SAM_ACCOUNT for [tom] without a primary group RID
Failed to add entry for user tom.
Failed to modify password entry for user tom.
I came across this page on the forums with similar trouble, http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...ain+controller
but I dont know what the fix is for it. If anybody can shed some light on how or what I might be doing wrong I would really appreciate it.
You will have to change the domain in smb.conf to be the same then the hostname that you entered during the Ubuntu setup. Then restart samba.
i've the same problem, so i did change the net-bios name in smb.conf to have the same as in /etc/hostname
but i still have the problem, what can i do?
PS: thank you for the help, and sorry about my bad english
EDIT: it looks likie it come from the command useradd -m -G tom because if if create the new user from the ubuntu graphical interface, it works fine
