It's weird how people want to castrate Jones for "ducking" on a weeks notice, but everyone understands when guys are ducking him on a month's notice.
It's weird how people want to castrate Jones for "ducking" on a weeks notice, but everyone understands when guys are ducking him on a month's notice.
Jon Jones was supposed to be in excellent shape, and he refused a fight against an out of shape MW that was not training, that was out of shape, and that in paper was not a threat at all.
Sonnen: Vitor Belfort is a stud when he believes in himself - Mixed Martial Arts News
Enter Vitor Belfort.
The former light heavyweight champion turned middleweight, accepted the last minute bout against Jones, which will headline UFC 152 on Sept. 22 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In doing so, "The Phenom" has a chance to shock the MMA world by taking down one of the most dominant champions in UFC history.
Can he accomplish the task at hand?
"Vitor is a stud when he believes in himself," said Sonnen to MMAmania.com when asked what he thought the chances were the 185-pound striker could take down the 205-pound champion in Toronto.
While Sonnen believes Vitor can be a "stud," the oddsmakers don't have the same faith in "The Phenom," who currently sits as a 13-1 underdog. Should Vitor be able to pull off the victory against "Bones," it will be the first time he will have UFC gold around his waist since losing his 205-pound title to Randy Couture at UFC 149 way back in 2004.
Has anyone even stopped to consider what could possibly happen to Vitor if he actually makes it into the cage with Bones, besides a miracle?
Use your imagination for a moment and think of how this massive hate orgy is mentally affecting Jon Jones. It's no secret Jon is an extremely emotional being, which translates into his fighting. After being absolutely SHAT on by his boss, peers, and thousands of haters, what do you think that's going to do to Jon Jones?? Something tells me that guys like Jon Jones do not take well to being torn apart and completely humiliated like he has been.
I have and always will be a fan of Vitor Belfort. That being said, I am not looking forward to his planned execution. Jon Jones is going to want to make a statement out of blood with his next opponent that we will not forget. All of this hate he will continue to receive, he is going to want to shove back out into the world through the octagon.
I hope for Vitor's sake that Jon plans on ending it as quickly as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if he was devising a plan to systematically kill Vitor. Literally. Jones could retire Vitor. I would not enjoy watching Vitor get slammed and elbowed into dust. Vitor has the heart of a lion for taking this fight but his head is going to end up on a wall.
Really, how does Vitor win this fight? By closing the distance with Jon Jones and knocking him out? Sounds like a solid plan that nobody has tried yet. I'm willing to bet that this fight doesn't actually happen either.
Something about this fight reminds me of GSP v. Serra I. A super-talented and overconfident champion against an undersized contender with heavy hands and a solid ground game. Sure we all expect Jones to roll through Belfort but we expected the same to happen when GSP fought Serra.
Also lets not forget outside of Silva, Belfort has stopped his last 4 opponents in the first round via strikes. To sleep on a guy like Belfort is just crazy.

The cost of food is likely to keep rising around the world, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization.
Last year, food prices hit record highs and if the first three months of 2012 are any indication, they may do so again this year.
For the third consecutive month, global food costs rose in March.
High oil prices are one reason for the spike, along with tight supplies of grains.
"The food price index has an extremely high correlation to oil prices and with oil prices up, it's going to be difficult for food prices not to follow suit," Reuters quoted commodity analyst Nick Higgins.
Bad weather in some areas has also hurt the production of important crops.
All these factors have contributed to rising food prices, despite the weakened economy worldwide.

Kirilenko beats Mattek-Sands in French 4th round
Russia's Maria Kirilenko reached her first French Open quarterfinal by ending the surprising run of 67th-ranked American Bethanie Mattek-Sands with a 7-5, 6-4 victory Monday.
The 12th-seeded Kirilenko lost in the fourth round at Roland Garros in 2010 and 2011.
She trailed 4-1 at the start against Mattek-Sands, who stunned 2011 French Open champion Li Na in the second round.
But Mattek-Sands' lead began slipping away, and while ahead 5-4, she asked for medical attention. From there, Kirilenko won four games in a row.
Kirilenko, who is engaged to two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, also was visited by a trainer, getting a massage on her right shoulder in the second set.
Kirilenko held on, though, and faces two-time major champion Victoria Azarenka next.

WASHINGTON (AP) - You've probably decided who gets the house or that family heirloom up in the attic when you die. But what about your email account and all those photos stored online?

We will try and look at it this week.
We apologise for the delay but we also don't want to leave it too open to abuse. We would like to tie it into the general EduGeek accounts but it may have to be a seperate username and password for the next few months.
As son as we have something running it will be announced.
That you all for your patience.
While you get that sorted is there any chance of a separate user name and id for the next while.
I would like to create a doc called "Creating and Deploying the Perfect School Computer" (not that I have the slightest idea how to do this, yet.) but since I have to build some computers over the next two weeks, I thought I might try and get my ducks in a row, it's also a opportunity for others more skilled an able to contribute their knowledge to a structured computer build document.
best regards
I am busy today but going to sort stuff out tonight/tomorrow.

We are in the thick of summer, and it's been busy and fun! In between swimming and fun outings with my girls, I've spent time in Jacksonville, FL and Atlanta, GA taking film and voice acting workshops and performing at festivals like the Trussville Freedom Celebration on the 4th of July with 8000 people in attendance! I've been busy teaching my voice students and filming auditions... so many exciting things happening, it's hard to keep up!
In no time, summer will be past us and the leaves will start changing! In the meantime, I'm going to keep making music, and acting... Stay tuned!
Stay Tuned!!!!

In May, Rep. Paul Ryan gave a speech at an American Enterprise Institute dinner, where I work, titled "Conservatism and Community." Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, spoke of the inherent human need for community. "We want everyone to have a chance in life -- a chance to be happy," he argued. "And we're happiest when we're together. We want to be together. It's in our nature. We feel it in our bones." People "hunger for a community -- where they realize their potential."
The vision Ryan offered is appealing, and conservatives should listen to it.
Conservatism, properly understood, has long championed the essential role played by the mediating institutions of civil society -- Edmund Burke's "little platoons" -- the churches, the schools, the men's and women's clubs, soup kitchens, scout troops, youth sports leagues, and neighborhood associations. It is here that we learn how to interact with each other. It is here that a healthy dependence of mutual obligation is formed. It is here -- enmeshed in a layered, vibrant web of social interactions and commitments -- that manners are learned, habits of virtue are cultivated, tradition is discovered and appreciated, and young people are taught who they are and how to live.
Many on the right correctly emphasize individual liberty, but they do not emphasize what conservatism knows to be true: It is in community that people learn how to be free.
Ryan argued that "the federal government has a role to play" with respect to community, but that "it's a supporting role, not the leading one." This is generally true. Government should distance itself enough from the individual that civil society -- which exists in the space between government and citizen -- can flourish. Speaking generally, government should help support these institutions, but it should not do their work for them.
But this is not to say that a communitarian ethic should be absent from politics and public policy -- quite the opposite. Proceeding with a spirit of community would help conservatives formulate and support better policies. Let's discuss a few.
The most obvious and immediate need for a spirit of community in the public-policy space is in the labor market. We still have two million fewer jobs than when the official "recovery" from the Great Recession began. More than four million of our fellow citizens have been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer.
Although our labor-market crisis is often discussed in economic terms (if at all), it truly represents a human tragedy. It constitutes millions and millions of workers who are unable to flourish, to earn their own success, to realize their full potential.
A public policy animated by a spirit of community would assign top priority to helping put Americans back to work by reforming the unemployment-insurance system to include relocation vouchers for unemployed workers who need to move in order to find a job and lump-sum bonuses for finding jobs, further delaying Obamacare's employer mandate beyond 2015 if the labor market continues to recover at a slow pace, encouraging high-skill immigrants to come to America and create jobs, encouraging domestic energy production, and getting the government off the backs of aspiring entrepreneurs by reducing occupational licensing requirements and regulatory burdens.
The disappearance of traditional middle-class jobs -- a consequence of technological advancements in automating processes, to a large degree, and of outsourcing -- represents the biggest challenge to American workers since the mass of workers left the farm for the factory. Any solution will involve better education for all Americans, so conservatism motivated by a spirit of community would put education reform at the top of its agenda. That would include embracing school choice, making it easier for local communities to start charter schools, tailoring curriculum to meet the needs of an automated economy, holding schools and teachers to performance metrics, weakening the power of teachers' unions, and pushing for a longer school year -- 180 days is too short a school year for a 21st-century education.
The right should not be afraid to attack corporate cronyism. Capitalism is a profit and loss system -- we should not continue to privatize the gains and socialize the losses of systemically or politically or symbolically important corporations. Those concerned about society and community should immediately see this and use government power to ensure society isn't on the hook for bailing out corporations.
Burke observed that society properly understood is a covenant between the living, the dead, and those yet to be born. But the current tax code is biased against saving and toward consumption, because dollars saved are taxed more than once, whereas dollars spent on consumption are only taxed once.
I am free to earn money today, pay taxes, take my after-tax income to Vegas, and spend all of it on gambling, liquor, and women. I am also free to earn money today, pay taxes, save my after-tax income, and spend it in the future. The former increases my utility today; the latter helps our children and grandchildren enjoy a higher standard of living and build a more dynamic, growing economy tomorrow. Savings is just another word for investments, and we know investment is crucial to future economic growth. We owe it to the next generation to leave them a large capital stock so that they too can enjoy robust growth and higher wages. The tax code should encourage that.

Customer Service: Myth Or Miracle Cure
by Kate Newlin on Dec 29, 9:14 AM
Start looking at your business from a profit per-square-foot perspective and not sales growth in comp stores vs. a year ago. However the street looks at it, you look at it in a way that authentically grows the business for you, your vendors and your sales people. The street will come around once you've proven that moving goods at deeply discounted prices to raise the revenue line isn't the same as a long-term business strategy. And, you'll have the money to reward and encourage great customer service.

The Pre-Trip Report... All In One Post!
June 30th-August 18th 2011
Alright so... I wasn't planning on doing an update till next week since I am having a SUPER busy weekend. However, thanks to various delays yesterday and random spare time this afternoon, I have pieced together the first update!
This is a special treat because we're getting an earlier start on the Trip Report than I thought! Woohoo!!
We're still in the introductory stage of the report... but this post is quite necessary. I need to explain the whole planning process of this trip because it was very unique.
This was not your typical disney family vacation that you throw together every year. No, sir! This trip took SO much planning, convincing, hard work, coordination, etc. So I'm basically going to relay my entire summer vacation to you right now. (the Disney details, of course.)
It is a long post (sorry about that!) but this way, well all be on the same page.
And plus... I'm sure Kristen doesn't know about a lot of this stuff! So it'll be fun for her to read all about the other perspective!
Let the Pre-Trip Report Begin!
June 30th, 2011
This is where it all began. My friend Alicia was hanging out at my house on the night of June 30th. We were looking at the Disney Food Pictures thread. (I'm not even kidding... my friends and I do that kind of stuff. Am I pathetic? nahh. We're cool. )
We kept scrolling through pages and pages of food, and we kept obsessing over the pictures of Disney Pizza. We just love Disney Pizza! It's so good and we wanted some so bad.
I always had the idea in the back of my mind that I should go down to Disney with Kristen in August, and then looking at these food pictures made a realization occur to me:
Alicia and I should go down to Disney! And not only that... we should COMPLETELY surprise Kristen! It would be great!
So basically this trip was thought of because we are obsessed with Pizza. You didn't expect that one, now did ya? hahaha
Alicia was totally in, and we started looking into the trip and deciding on what foods we wanted to eat. I talked to my Mom about the idea, and she said she'd talk more about it after my Grad Party. (which was on July 3rd)
July 4th, 2011
Here's a picture from 4th of July... just so you can see what Alicia looks like. She's the blonde one.
July 6th, 2011
So my Grad Party came and went. Kristen stayed over at my house from July 1st-6th, since her family was camping and she didn't want to miss my Grad Party. (What a great friend!) Everyone went home on the sixth, my Mom and I went to go pick up my dog from the kennel, and we went out to dinner at a local italian restaurant.
My Mom and I had a bit of an argument on the 5th (I think we were a bit overtired from the party) but finally at dinner, we were on better terms. How could I tell? The topic of Disney came up again! She said I could look into it more when I got home. So that's what we did!
July 7th, 2011
We researched a bit last night and got a general idea of how much it would all cost. We finally established our first official "plan" this morning!
We saw that there was a deal for Annual Passholders to stay at a Value Resort for $74 a night. So, that was a great deal! We were thinking of trying for All Star Movies.
We looked at flight prices and the Southwest Airfare was the best. (it was $168 going down, and $138 coming back.)
After laying that all out, I officially got the "okay" from my parents! WOOHOO! I love how understanding they are of my love for Disney.
That night I went to my friend Nat's Brother's production of "Hairspray." (he was Link Larkin) Nat and I spontaneously decided that I should go with her up to her cottage the next day. (good decision.)
July 8th, 2011
I went over to Nat's house this morning. While we were waiting for her Mom to get ready, I told Nat about the trip. I was too excited to keep my mouth shut!! I invited her to come, but I didn't think she'd be able to. We invited her to come with us in January but it didn't work out. I thought I'd test my luck again anyway. She REALLY wanted to go.. but didn't know if it could happen either.
We left her house and went up to her cottage with Nat's Mom. While we were on the beach, Nat just asked her Mom out of the blue "Hey Mom, can I go to Disney in August?" Nat's Mom immediately said "No." Nat replied with, "Well, I tried!"
Hahaha we laughed it off... but then we got to thinking. Nat's birthday was only 4 days after we got back. We thought.. what if she uses her birthday money to pay for part of the trip? And it's her senior year.. what if she asks for it as a graduation present? She wanted to go anyway for her graduation, and everyone she wanted to go with would be going on this trip! It was practically planned for her! And the rest of the money she needed... she could just take out of her bank account!
We went swimming and we devised a plan for Nat to ask her parents again.
After dinner, we rode around on her golf cart and talked about Disney. We thought of a bunch of reasoning for Nat to present to her parents. We typed it all out on her phone so she wouldn't forget.
While we were riding the golf cart through the cottage neighborhoods, I had my iPod playing. We drove by this "Teen Dance" that was going on at the main area (where all of the scummy kids went) and we blasted our Disney Music. LOL all of the teenagers had no idea what was going on. They just looked around and didn't know what the heck we were listening to. Nat's Mom said we had a lot of guts for doing that hahaha. What can I say? We had a feeling we were going to Disney together!
July 12th, 2011
We went to a local amusement park on this day. Vickie, Dan, Kristen, Nat, our friend Jessie, me, and a bunch of other people went. The whole time we were there we just compared EVERYTHING to Disney World. We even sang the whole "Splash Mountain Loop" while we were on the themeless log flume. Kristen had no idea that we would potentially be going on the real Splash Mountain all together so soon!!
July 14th, 2011
I painted my first batch of Disney Nails on this day.
Here's the Castle:
And Stripes with Mickey Heads:
July 18th, 2011
Nat presented the Disney idea to her parents, once again, a few days ago. We were just waiting and waiting for the answer. On this night, Nat texted me and told me she had to call me.
She told me... that she couldn't go.
I was like ".....what??"
And she said..........
I was jumping up and down all around my room. I was SO HAPPY!!
Now don't forget about Alicia. Her answer was still pending. She had just gotten this job at her Dad's office and she had to see if she could even take those few days off. So we had to wait some more for her.
Alicia was sleeping over at my house that night when Nat got the okay, and right before we fell asleep, I thought of how we wanted to surprise Kristen!
We wanted to go into the Town Square Meet and Greet and be in the room with Mickey when Kristen walked in to meet him. She would be TOTALLY shocked!
Now, did it happen like that? You'll have to wait and see......!
July 19th, 2011
Alicia and I went up to Nat's cottage this day and we just talked about Disney all day long!
I, of course, was the crazy diser and tried to lay out all of the plans so we could line up our days with Kristen and Vick's schedules. I had to sneak all of Kristen's plans, but Vick knew we were coming so she gave me her schedule.
We were so crazy and happy. We listened to Disney music on the golf cart all night, and when people would give us weird looks, we would just tell them "We're going to Disney World!!!"
July 20th, 2011
When I got home from Nat's Cottage, I called Disney and booked our hotel! Since we had the official "okay" from someone other than me, we thought we should definitely reserve a room!
We wanted to get the discount for the Value Resorts. Before we called, I specifically said to my Mom "the only one I don't want to stay at is All Star Sports."
Why? Because I am NOT a sports person. hahaha
I got on the phone with a guy from Disney and asked if anything was available at All Star Movies. He said... No.
All Star Music? ...No.
Pop Century? ....No.
All Star Sports? ...Yes.
OF COURSE. I was like... hmm. Okay.
Then I thought, just for the heck of it, why not ask for a quote for Coronado Springs? That's where Kristen was staying, after all.
It ended up not being that much more!! I think it was only $200 or so more than we estimated! Not too bad!
We just booked our package right then and there - Room and Dining! AWW YEAH!!
One of my life mottos is that "everything happens for a reason," and I think we were just meant to stay at Coronado. It just worked out PERFECTLY that way.
July 21st, 2011
I went to Kristen's house on this day. We were watching Harry Potter (which I'm not really into) so I asked Kristen if I could see her trip journal. She hadn't written out her August Reservations yet, so I told her I would help and write them for her.
While Harry Potter was consuming her attention, I sneakily texted Nat all of her reservations and quick service ideas. Muhahaha I'm SO SNEAKY!
That night we took Kristen's little sister, Sarah, to the drive-in and we saw Winnie the Pooh and Cars 2! They were both SUPER cute movies! And it got us all in the Disney spirit! (even though they had no idea I was going to accompany them on their trip... haha)
July 22nd, 2011
Once I got home from Kristen's, it was time to make all of our dining reservations! These are the original results:
8/20 - Coral Reef - 12:15 pm
8/21 - Les Chefs de France - 4:40 pm
8/22 - Kona - 7:55 pm
8/23 - Via Napoli - 11:30 am
8/24 - Liberty Tree Tavern - 12:50 pm
Would we keep all of these? You'll have to find out!
Alicia also texted me on this day and told me very sad news... she couldn't go on the trip!! She called the office and they couldn't give her the days off because another girl already was going to be on vacation. They had no one to work besides Alicia, and since she just started, she couldn't get out of it. We were very sad she couldn't join us.
July 24th, 2011
My Mom and Nat's Mom talked on the phone this day and discussed prices. Nat's Mom was going to send the check in the mail soon since we reserved everything under our name. WE WERE SO EXCITED!!!!
You should have seen our text messages to each other every morning when we were counting down. They were OBNOXIOUS.
For example: "26 DAYS TILL DISNEY AHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T EVEN CONTAIN MYSELF EEEEEEEEEEEEE! DISNEY!!!!" Yup, that's us. Squealing like little girls over text.
July 25th, 2011
On this day I got my wisdom teeth out. Ouch. For those of you who have to get them out - don't worry. It's a lot more uncomfortable than it is painful. And I stayed on advil the whole time - I didn't even need intense pain killers! So, no worries. After about 4 or 5 days you're totally fine!
This was also a big day for Kristen because she went to Disney with her Dad and her brother, Michael! So while she was having a great day, I was stuck in bed. But the good news is that I watched Little Mermaid 1, 2, and 3, which renewed my great love for those movies. And I ate ice cream. So it really wasn't that bad of a day!
July 26th, 2011
I was still recovering from surgery on this day. Kristen's Mom called to check on me, and I told her about our idea of going to Disney! It was hard to talk because my mouth was so swollen, but I couldn't wait anymore! Kristen's Mom was shocked but she was so excited! She loves surprises so she was totally in on helping coordinate it all! This worked out perfectly for us to plan everything, since Kristen was in Disney already. It gave us some time to safely plan the trip without her overhearing. haha sneaky - again.
July 27th, 2011
This was a revolutionary day for me. Remember how I always had a problem with Tiana trying to be a princess? Well, on this day, I gave her a chance and I watched "Princess and the Frog." Results? I LOVED IT. It's one of my top favorite Disney movies of all time now. So good! If you haven't watched it before, you need to get on that. And Tangled, too. SUCH good movies - I promise you'll be impressed!
August 5th, 2011
Kristen was finally home from Disney Trip #1! YAY! Kristen, Allie, and I went to this little festival near us. First we ate the biggest slices of pizza you'll ever see in your life. (DELICIOUS.) Then we saw this stand where they spray paint T-Shirts for you. I saw a sample where they wrote someone's name in a spray painted circle... so I thought.. why not add two more little circles and make it a hidden mickey?
The guy didn't fully understand what I was trying to say... so I drew it out for him on paper. He tried to convince me that it would be more money than the original special, but I told him it was simply two more circles. So after a little bargaining, we got the shirts for $10!!! They're super cute. I got one for Nat for her birthday, since she wasn't there that night. I got a pink one for myself, Kristen got teal, Allie got purple, Nat's was lime green, and Vick showed up later and got a pink one as well.
August 6th, 2011
August 6th is Vickie's Birthday Party! So we went over to her house for a pool party. It was lots of fun, we ate pizza, and we went swimming! She was really precious and got a lot of Disney Princess decorations... yeah we're all 5 years old. We know.
That night, Kristen, Allie and I had a sleepover and painted more Disney nails to get in the spirit for "Kristen's" trip! (I love that she didn't know haha I'm so proud of this surprise.)
Anyways, here are my nails:
From Left to Right: Space Mountain, Tigger, 101 Dalmatian, Seagulls from Finding Nemo, and Minnie Mouse
From Left to Right: Monorail, Pluto, Firework, Andy's Room Wallpaper, and Princess
Here are Kristen's Nails:
From Left to Right: Seagulls from Finding Nemo, Nemo, United Kingdom Flag, Donald Duck, and the Monorail
From Left to Right: 101 Dalmatian, Snow White, Andy's Room Wallpaper, Tigger, and Space Mountain (Daytime Version)
And here are Allie's Nails:
From Left to Right: Monorail, Eeyore's Tail, 101 Dalmatian, Tigger and Space Mountain
From Left to Right: Test Track, Seagulls, Donald, Mickey Mouse, and the Castle
August 7th, 2011
Kristen, Vick, and Allie came over this day. Kristen helped Vickie adjust their schedule so their days would line up better. They just had to flip Vickie's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom days.
August 9th, 2011
I readjusted our dining and itinerary this day, since I knew of the changes.
Our New Dining List:
8/20 - Coral Reef - 12:15 pm
8/21 - Kona - 6:10 pm
8/22 - Sanaa - 5:00 pm
8/23 - Via Napoli - 5:45 pm
8/24 - Liberty Tree Tavern - 12:40 pm
Would we keep THESE?! Who knows...?
August 11th, 2011
We had one last beach party with a bunch of my friends this night. It was the last time I was going to see a lot of them before college! We went to the beach, had a cook out, went out for ice cream, had a photo shoot, and then watched Hercules, the January Frump Trip Movie, and Aladdin to finish off the night! It was SO fun!
Heart Picture!
Here's the Disney Crew! (Little did Kristen know....)
Recreation of the Proposal Picture from the Yacht Club:
Disney Frump Princesses!
August 12th, 2011
Kristen slept over last night and then we had to say goodbye in the morning. This was the last time I was going to see her before college, since she was leaving for Disney on the 15th. Little did she know.....
We both cried though because it was so sad. However, the good news was that there was only ONE WEEK TILL DISNEY! But she didn't know that.
August 13th, 2011
I packed for college and Disney ALL DAY. One of the deals with this trip was that I had to be completely packed for college before I left, since I'd only have 2 full days home once I got back. Hey, it was totally worth it!
We started off like this:
And eventually ended up like this:
August 15th, 2011
I redid my Disney nails this day because the other ones were chipping. I did new designs on six of them.
Here are my new nail designs:
From Left to Right: Jasmine, Pluto, Nemo, Test Track, and Alien from Toy Story
From Left to Right: Space Mountain, Tigger, 101 Dalmation, Seagulls from Finding Nemo, and the Monorail
It was also my last night of work tonight, too. I worked at an Ice Cream Place all summer. Best job EVER. My boss and I talked about Disney for a good while. He hasn't been there in 6 years but he used to love it!
August 16th, 2011
I got a new Sony HD Video Camera on this day! I hadn't gotten a new one since my freshman year of high school, and since I wanted to make a movie of this trip, we thought it was an appropriate time to invest in a new one! Yay!
I definitely plan on doing a video of this trip... we have fantastic footage!! But only God knows when I'll have time to do it. It might not get completed till next summer. Wah. I will let you all know, though, when it gets finished!
August 17th, 2011
I did some more packing this day and wrote out this entire Pre-Trip Report in my Trip Journal. (It's a lot... I know. But it's all important stuff!) Kristen arrived in Disney on this day! Ahhh so exciting! I couldn't wait till we got there!
August 18th, 2011
AHHH THE DAY BEFORE DISNEY! I was so excited all day. I went to Panera for breakfast with my friends Dylan and Bobbie so I could see them before I went to college. Then I went to the bank with my Dad and took out the money to pay for my trip! We were all set!
We made Chicken Quesidillas for dinner that night and they were FANTASTIC. They got me right in the spirit for Coronado Springs! Hooray!
And to review... here are all of the movies I watched over the entire course of the summer to get ready for the trip. YAY!
GUESS WHAT? Now the trip begins.........! (:

Thanks for the back story. I loved hearing about how it all came together and how sneaky you were with the planning.

You couldn't have posted this awhile back, could ya? Seriously, I could've used some of your cunning ways and treachery to make sure I would be going to WDW this April, but NOOO, you had to keep this all a "secret", Pssshhh! lol You really mapped this trip out well in the limited time you had. I'm so glad you got to see Princess & the Frog, probably my all-time favorite Disney movie next to The Lion King. I had the same feelings as you with it not being as good as the classics when I first watched, but boy was I wrong! It ranks up pretty well in my book. (: And I must add you definitely watched a great group of Disney movies, especially the one in the middle
Can't wait to read all about this trip! Based on this planning and the events leading up to it, it must've been fantastic

I swear I am still a teen my head, I read your stories and it all sounds so FUN! JEALOUS!!
It's so sad that Kristen is younger and you guys couldn't go off to college together. I'm glad you're pretty close though so you guys can still hang. I went to university in my city and stayed home with my parents, I get such a sad feeling in my gut when I read about anyone going off to college and leaving home, all you people who do that are so brave. I'm just a big baby.
Oh and a question...
Why didn't you believe in Tiana's Princess credentials before you'd seen the movie?

I think the small amount of time we had made it a lot easier... because if I had to keep that secret from Kristen for much longer... I would have burst!
Yeah, I'm glad you agree! It's a great movie!
Thanks! We love to have fun!
I TOTALLY understand about being the person in your group to always go to Disney. At home, all of my friends are obsessed with Disney. But at college, nobody quite understands it. So I'm the Disney freak. TOTALLY fine.
Oh my gosh I'm really excited for you to take your trip to Disneyland with your friend!! You're going to have so much fun! Have a magical trip!
I know.... I WISH we could so bad. It's hard not having someone as close as her with me when I'm off at college. I'm a baby too... but I need to go out and force myself to adjust to a new environment. I'm sure I'll end up loving it someday... the beginning just takes some time to get used to.
And well.. ever since I was born there were ALWAYS the same princesses. And for 16 or 17 years, they never added one. Then another character was put on all of the merchandise, and it threw me off big time. She's still not a "classic" princess to me, but she's a princess. So, I understand now. I sort of wish she'd get her own line of merchandise like rapunzel... but oh well. I love the movie anyway. It's fantastic.

I am loving this so far!!! You are such a great friend for wanting to surprise Kristen like that!And I'm sure another trip to Disney wasn't such a horrible thing either!! haha
I LOVE your nails!! I wish I could do that to mine without it looking like a COMPLETE mess! haha Let's just say I don't have a gift for painting nails.
I bet you were ready to burst at the seams by keeping that secret from Kristen! Good thing you had other people you could talk about it with!!

Great update!!! I was just like you when I was a teenager (and younger, actually) - I was constantly planning Disney vacations! Where I'd want to go, what I'd eat (never where we'd stay, because we always stayed at the same place!). But then the parents got divorced, and mom and I didn't have any money, so no more trips for awhile. Then, miraculously, my pom team got their first bid to Nationals - held at MGM! So we all got to go to Disney World, just me, my friends, coach, and one set of parents. It was so much fun!!
I'll tell ya, it was a LOT different "planning" when I was younger - no internet! You just had to go off pictures (and not the digital kind) and memory!
You're so lucky to get to go with your friends. And college was intimidating, but once I got into the groove it was much-needed to go away for school. I just needed to have that independence.
Can't wait to read more!

That was a most epic pre-trip preparation. I suppose planning makes the wait more tolerable.
It's even better now that I have the Winnie the Pooh soundtrack. Nothing like rolling into a busy parking lot windows down, blaring "The Tummy Song"!

OMG, JESS! I can't tell you how EXCITED I am to see how this trip report plays out! You have MASTERED the art of the TR, IMHO.
You are your friends are so precious...it makes me miss all of my Disney loving friends back home!!! I feel so selfish for saying this, but I hope you will ALWAYS visit Disney World multiple times a year so that there will always be fresh TR's to go goo-goo-ga-ga over.
Keep up the great work! *pixie dust*

Statesboro High - National Signing Day
Charles Kilpatrick is the epitome of hard work.
BROOKLET - The way things were going Friday night, it was only fitting Southeast Bulloch and Jefferson County went right down to the wire.
TWIN CITY - It finally happened to Portal.
With a near capacity crowd on hand Saturday, seniors Eric Ferguson and Rashad Lee knew what they had to do. The former exploded for 40 points while the latter put the exclamation point on a 56-39 win over Evans on Senior Night.
The Bulloch Academy boys took the driver's seat in GISA Region 2-AA and also sent a message to other Class AA schools with a 102-68 drubbing of region foe Frederica Academy Saturday night.
PORTAL - Portal Panthers coach Jeff Brannen was worried his team would be flat heading into Friday's game against the Jenkins County Eagles.
AUGUSTA - Statesboro senior Monnette Bennett hit the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer and scored 23 points to lift the Lady Blue Devils to a 43-40 victory at Lakeside Friday night.
Watching Monnette Bennett play basketball, one might think Statesboro's senior has every right to strut around as the Queen of the Campus.
The Atlanta Falcons won't apologize for somehow being in first place with a losing record.
ATHENS - Nick Chubb and Georgia took care of Charleston Southern early, looking to carry the momentum into next week's state rivalry game against Georgia Tech.

My research is focused on chemical reactions involving charge transfer. Reactions of this kind are taking place in all electrochemical systems such as fuel cells and batteries, but they are also occuring in biological systems. We investigate the basic physics by applying computersimulations at the atomic scale. We treat the quantum nature of the electrons on the level of density functional theory. The goal of the research is two fold: To gain insight in the underlying physics and chemistry and on the same time to design new materials for e.g the electrodes in future fuel cells.
