One of the brightest spots in Seventies TV comedy was by far "The
Jeffersons." With its catchy theme song, "Movin' on Up," the show
detailed the travails of an African American couple, played by Sherman
Hemsley and Isabel Sanford who ran a successful dry cleaning business in
Manhattan. Hemsley played the husband George Jefferson to the hilt, as a
brash, opinionated businessman. Hemsley passed away this week at the
age of 74.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Hemsley was found dead at his El Paso, Texas home. Police say there is no suspicion of foul play. Hemsley had no wife or children.
Hemsley originally played Jefferson as a semi-regular character on "All in the Family" from 1973 until 1975, when the spinoff "The Jeffersons" began an 11-season run on CBS.
For the first few years on "All in the Family," George Jefferson was never seen, only referred to by his wife, Louise. At the behest of the show's producers, Hemsley show's portrayed Jefferson as "pompous and feisty."
What was so surprising to audiences at that time was that Jefferson was every bit as bigoted as his neighbor, Archie Bunker, played by Carroll O'Connor, referring to white people as "honkies."
Mean and condescending to his neighbors, he was a perpetual thorn in the side of his son Lionel. His character was still wildly popular with TV audiences.
"By me loving Louise and Archie loving (his wife) Edith, you got away with being goofy and stupid," he said in 2003. "Because people said at least he loved something."
Former co-star Florence Johnston, who played the maid on the series, said she was shocked to hear he had died.
"I thought Sherman was doing very well . I am saddened to hear that Sherman has made his transition. We were trying to come up with a new show that we could participate in, but of course, that cannot happen now.
"Sherman was one of the most generous co-stars I have ever worked with. He happily set me up so that I could slam him, and I did the same for him. I shall miss him deeply."
Hemsley also played Deacon Ernest Frye in the sitcom "Amen."
Producer Norman Lear released a statement regarding Hemsley, "With the passing of Sherman Hemsley, the world loses one of its most unique comedic talents, and a lovely man." Lear claimed discovered Hemsley doing the Broadway play "Purlie." Lear remembered him "singing and dancing, and (Hemsley) was one of the most unique actors on the stage."
In 1990, he released an album, "Ain't That a Kick in the Head," and two years later another, entitled "Dance."
Hemsley was nominated for an Emmy in 1985 but lost to Bill Cosby.

Mexico manager Miguel Herrera was delighted after his side booked their place in the knockout stages of the World Cup with victory over Croatia in Recife, Sky Sports has reported.
El Tri were the better side throughout, limiting Croatia to very few chances while looking dangerous on the counter attack. The closest they came in the first half was when Hector Herrera's long range shot hit the underside of the crossbar.
They finally took the lead with 20 minutes left when long-serving captain Rafael Marquez headed home from a corner. That was the first of three goals in a 10-minute spell as Andres Guardado found the roof of the net and Javier Hernandez nodded in from close range.
Croatia grabbed a consolation when Ivan Perisic slid past Francisco Guillermo Ochoa, before they had Ante Rebic sent off for a late challenge. The 3-1 victory for Mexico means they take on Group B winners the Netherlands in their second round match on Sunday evening.
And after the game, Herrera said: "We overcame the first hurdle. We're happy. That is one of the happiest days of my life. It was a hard fight, but my team pulled through. We felt as if we were playing at home in Mexico. We're going to celebrate tonight but tomorrow we have to start thinking of our match with the Netherlands."

Combinative improving effect of increased solubility and the use of absorption enhancers on the rectal absorption of uracil in beagle dogs. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 2285989 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
An improvement of the rectal absorption of uracil was examined by the application of absorption enhancers in addition to the increased solubility of uracil. Uracil was ground with additives such as MgO, sodium 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate, human serum albumin or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate. Aqueous, oily and powdery formulations, which consisted of the ground mixtures, nicotinamide, urea and absorption enhancers such as polyoxyethylene (23) cetylether (BC-23) or sodium caprate, were prepared. Uracil solubility in the aqueous formulations was increased about 4-13 times that in the corresponding control formulations. When rectally administered to beagle dogs, marked increases in the plasma uracil level were observed in some of the cases of aqueous and oily formulations. In the powdery formulations and formulations containing macromolecular additives, however, absorption improvements was not observed. The results indicated that an improvement in the absorption of uracil was caused by the combinative improving effect of the increased uracil solubility and the promoting effect of absorption enhancers. |

Vietnamese Steak Salad
From EatingWell: May/June 1998
Crisp spring greens, crunchy carrots and cucumbers are tossed with plenty of fresh herbs (a signature of Vietnamese cuisine) and a savory lemongrass vinaigrette in this refreshing salad. Topped with slices of grilled, marinated flank steak that are reminiscent of the street food of Hanoi, this dish makes an excellent lunch or light supper. Add a few slices of crusty baguette (also a Vietnamese tradition) to finish the plate.

- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
- To prepare steak: Combine lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and chile oil in a large sealable plastic bag. Add steak and seal the bag, turning to coat the meat with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bag occasionally, for 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare vinaigrette: Combine broth, lemongrass and 2 tablespoons shallot in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Strain into a small bowl, discarding solids. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons shallot, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and chile oil; whisk to combine. Just before serving, stir in cilantro and mint.
- Preheat grill to high.
- Remove the steak from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the steak, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly on the diagonal, across the grain.
- To prepare salad: Toss watercress (or spinach), cucumber, carrot, cilantro and mint with 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette in a large shallow bowl. Arrange the steak over the greens. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette over the top and serve.
Tips & Notes

Quture's Product QualOptima to Become New Standard for Global Performance Enhancement to Transform Payment & Delivery Systems
DAYTONA BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2013) - Quture International, Inc. (OTCQB: QUTR) announced today that real-time clinical data was recently collected for approximately 800 perioperative patients at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital (UoM). Keith A. Candiotti, MD, and his physician and clinical team and information technology experts collaborated to complete the formal Clinical Trial with Quture under contract, strict protocol supervised by the Investigational Review Board (IRB) and assisted by InterSystems Corporation, Cambridge, MA.
Quture announced the satisfactory completion of the Demonstration Project at UoM for a proof of concept and statement of work for use of the InterSystems technology on September 6, 2011. This phase of the clinical trial was to demonstrate the success of the InterSystems tools of the Ensemble interface engine, Cache object-oriented database, DeepSee data display and Zen report writer as the embedded technology of its QualOptima. QualOptima is Quture's "transformative and disruptive" tool to enhance clinical performance to achieve optimal patient outcomes, with this phase of the project at UoM using a sample/test database.
Successful completion of the Clinical Trial used QualOptima with patient care to analyze the value proposition of the product to hospitals and physicians, as well as payers, regulators, suppliers and consumers of health care.
"Quture has carefully completed data collection and now analysis just in time to support marketing and sales of QualOptima under the brilliant mentoring of Dr. Candiotti and his team," said Landon Feazell, CEO of Quture International. "As we enter competition with companies whose performance and outcomes analytics experience and expertise is rooted in analyzing claims and administrative data, this Clinical Trial proves and differentiates our product collecting real-time clinical data. The University of Miami/Jackson Memorial product experience positions us in the analytics market consistent with our product and marketing strategy for the future to transform the payment and delivery systems."
The Clinical Trial and academic study was designed by Candiotti, Executive Vice-Chair & Chief Operating Officer, and Vice-Chair, Clinical Research, Department of Anesthesiology, Jackson Memorial Hospital and University of Miami Miller Medical School, and his team of experts working with Quture and InterSystems. The study connects individual patient risk factors with evidence-based perioperative performance measures compared to patient outcomes. The impact of compliance on outcomes and costs associated with extended stays and complications in recovery and beyond for well-established performance measures in anesthesia connects clinical quality with outcomes and costs. The potential of the product is being evaluated for predictive modeling and developing clinical decision support systems, as well.
Quture met with InterSystems at HIMSS in New Orleans recently on advancing QualOptima using the latest InterSystems technology and adding additional tools for Active Analytics as part of DeepSee. The combined analytics technology of QualOptima is now being applied to the clinical trial data set. Under contract with the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital, the final results will be announced by them in cooperation with Quture. Formal presentation of the results will be published by Dr. Candiotti, as well as presented at the National Healthcare Performance and Outcomes Summit in Washington, D.C., September 16-18, 2013 (http://www.performanceanalyticssummit.com). Feazell is also the Co-Chairman of the Summit, and Quture is a founding sponsor.
"Quture has now proven the scientific relationship to connect true clinical quality with value," said Feazell. "We are taking lessons learned from over 35 years of measuring clinical performance manually and converting that process and content into an electronic system that provides real-time clinical knowledge and insight for doctors, nurses and hospitals as never before. Our years of developing clinical content and utilizing a new technology platform will finally achieve its potential. This is a significant milestone in the evolution of Quture. Completion of this Clinical Trial, combined with the data collected and analyzed at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, puts us very close to major announcements with InterSystems."

Dave Rogers has spent twenty-five years preparing and trying serious personal injury and product liability cases in courts throughout New England and the Eastern United States. Dave represents clients in the automotive, trucking, construction equipment, material handling, utility, consumer products, construction and insurance industries. His expertise includes evaluating complicated fact patterns and evidence in the areas of automotive and mechanical engineering, accident reconstruction, vehicle dynamics, safety regulations and standards, biomechanics, occupant kinematics, medicine and injury causation. He has acquired knowledge of the substantive, procedural and evidentiary rules and laws of multiple states through his regional litigation and trial practice.
A major portion of Dave's practice involves preparing corporate witnesses for depositions and trial testimony. He has worked with dozens of in-house corporate engineers and scientists to prepare them on the substantive and technical information about which they will testify as well as the challenges presented by the deposition and trial process itself so as to allow them to feel at ease and comfortable while undergoing direct and cross-examination. The end result has been witnesses who are fully prepared and knowledgeable about the technical issues of the case and who are also capable of presenting persuasive and powerful testimony at trial. In addition, Dave regularly deposes scientists, engineers, physicians and experts in multiple areas of expertise around the country in the defense of his clients' cases.
Dave developed and implemented his law firm's audio-visual conferencing system and the custom designed conference room in which it is located. He uses it regularly to convene legal engineering conferences with clients and experts from around the United States, Europe and Japan. The audio-visual conferencing center has proven to be a valuable and cost-efficient means of communicating with clients and experts to evaluate information and to formulate strategic action plans for cases. Dave has also taken the depositions of dozens of expert witnesses around the United States via this technology which has resulted substantial savings for his clients in legal fees and travel expenses.

b. How Long to Stay
By Dave Shute
How Long to Stay Other Trip Lengths Itinerary Design Goals
Designing Your Own Itinerary Shorter Itineraries
Plan to spend 9 days in Orlando, arriving late morning or early afternoon on a Saturday and departing in the late afternoon or evening of the following Sunday.
This amount of time balances the time needed to fully appreciate the 4 theme parks (6ish days) with time for breaks from the parks, while fitting into a typical "week off from work."
If you can't stay this long, see Other Trip Lengths.
This schedule gives you 7 full days and two partial days in Orlando. The basic itinerary (see this for details) has you spending part or all of 7 days in the parks, with one full day off, two additional mornings off, and one additional afternoon break.
For those with difficult budget or transportation challenges, the time in Orlando can be shortened to 8, 7, or even 6 days: a late-morning arrival day, a late afternoon departure day, and 4 to 6 full days–but only at the cost of making what is already a steady pace a hectic one.
See Other Trip Lengths for details on shorter Disney World trips.

Hi I just discovered your site. My husband & I are 63 & 70 years old & are planning to take our one grandson to disney & hopefully to Universal Studios. My concern is that we are not going to be able to take the long lines in the heat. We are a bit limited on our spending, to say the least, yet Cameron is our only grandson who has not been to disney, yet promised many times, so we are going to try to take him. He is 9 years old and very active, my husband is having mobility issues, can't stand for very long plus his breathing is labored. I have a tendency to overheat quickly. We already have a place to stay in Orlando at our timeshare. Can you give me any tips on where to buy my tickets and do they have a special for people to go to the front of the line. Also we are going to have to pack lunches and eat out in the car. Any and all help you may be able to supply me would be great! My daughter just returned from disney and told me to buy my tickets at the state line when we come in as they are only $50.00 per ticket. Do you know anything about that, or would I be subjected to a timeshare sales pitch? Oh yes we are going this month to arrive on the last Saturday in July and check out on the following Saturday. Thanks in advance for any insight you may be able to help me with. I only wish I had found this page before today. Blessings to you!

Thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunately another time is totally out of the question. I wish it wasn't. Do you think Cam would enjoy Universal Studios just as much? We want to take him there to. How many days should we plan on staying at each place? Our son and family will be going to disney 2 or 3 weeks after us. Should we buy our tickets together to save money? Again I thank you for your kind help, how nice of you!
- 4 Kristen Hoetzel { 07.03.11 at 11:05 am }
Megan, as a travel agent I strongly suggest not purchasing tickets at a booth. The state of Florida is getting rid of many of them because they are fake tickets or ones that are being resold. In the case of resold tickets you could find out that they aren't valid once you arrive.
As far as the heat and crowds it's going to be high due to last minute vacations before school starts back. The heat is very hard to deal with if you can't tolerate the heat. I have some medical problems myself and can't tolerate the heat so in the summer I spend most of my time indoors. I typically go Oct – March to avoid the extreme heat. Also the prices are much lower then.
As Dave mentioned the Guest Assistance Card and getting a scotter. He's definitely right about getting both of those as there is so much walking and both of those will make it easier as far as mobility and the heat.
Both the All-Star Resorts and Pop Century are great when looking to save money. I do recommend getting a Preferred room at them so you are close to the main building where the buses pick you up. At the All-Stars the walk from the back of the resort to the front can be a long one.
Enjoy planning your trip!
- 7 Kathy Kelly { 07.03.11 at 10:37 pm }
Hello! One quick note about the Guest Assistance Card. It is a common misconception that this is a "front of the line" pass. It is not. If your problem is mobility and you are renting a scooter you will not need a GAC because you will be directed to the handicapped entrances for various attractions. If your problem is heat intolerance the GAC will only help you use an alternate entrance if the main entrance is outdoors.
I have visited WDW several times with my son who has special needs and if you cannot change your travel to a cooler time of year, then I heartily second the advice above. Plan for slow touring with a break mid-day so you can rest and your grandson can swim. We have vacationed with a family member who is in her 70s and she was shocked at the amount of walking involved with touring these very large and spread-out theme parks. Good Luck to you!
- 8 Erica { 07.03.11 at 11:37 pm }
If you haven't been to DW before, the parking lot seems miles away from the entrances. You would waste alot of energy going to get lunch in the car when you could carry in some snacks and buy a sandwich or two from quicky vendors. Not to mention some of the fun is buying a snack or two. You could eat a Pinnochio's near Dumbo's ride and it isn't very expensive either. One thing I remember the first time is how tired my legs were – so save your energy to enjoy the day.
Also, if you use the fast passes that will eliminate long standing. OR if you stand in line for Peter Pan's flight (which is always long) you can then so sit in Mickey's Phiharmonic and rest your legs. There are other key places in the park if you need to rest you can such as Tom Sawyers Island, Hall of Presidents, Carousel of Progress. Not the most exiting rides in the park but a great way to take a break after standing in a Space Mountain ride. Another tip, if you are willing to let your grandson ride by himself on the coasters then he can get right on – my husband and rode separate and saved hours of standing in line. If you plan ahead what you want to do, then you can alternate sitting/standing times.
Also we have done the DW resort stay and another time did the time share stay. The Disney hotels aren't very nice and your time share is probably much nicer. We've stayed at 2 mid-range resorts and were not impressed at all plus they are expensive.
Finally we went to Universal and they have two sides which cost separate. We just went to one side and it was okay but was no where near as magical as Disney World. I would just stick with Magic Kingdom for now, I'm sure you grandson will love it. - 11 Melissa O { 09.09.11 at 11:47 am }
Hi Dave,
I love all the addivce you have given. I am planning on taking my 5 year old daughter to WDW next year. My question to you is when should we go? We will have a small buget, and we want to stay on the resort this time. I went with my husband 3 years ago in October and it was nice but still pretty hot. What would you sugest? - 13 Aaron { 11.14.11 at 5:10 pm }
Hi Dave,
Great site you've got going here. Just had a few questions. I am planning on visiting Orlando with my girlfriend mid January 2012. We are lucky that we can spend up to 10 or 11 days in Orlando to check out all the Disney theme parks and Universal Studio theme parks. Wanted a suggestion which theme parks to visit first, what park hopper tickets to get and if it is worth it to stay in a Disney resort hotel or to stay outside the Disney resort and save some cash.
Since Orlando is filled with theme parks, is it wise to rent a car if staying out side the Disney resorts or just depend on shuttle and public transport? I would think parking would be a nightmare and would be pay parking.
Doing some research I see that some theme parks would require to visit twice to see everything, I am not keen on this and would like to see one theme park per day, maybe alternate between a Disney theme park and a Universal theme park. What would you suggest.
Looking forward to your suggestions and looking forward to seeing Orlando

I'm planning a trip to WDW May 20, 2012 – May 27, 2012 for a family of six ages 8, 11, 14, 38, 38, 70. We are following your advice and staying at the All Star Music resort & following your Autumn Spring Winter Itenerary. Do I need park hopper passes? Anything new I need to know? This is our first trip to WDW or any major theme Park.

Hi Dave,
I just came across this site. I've been to Disney World numerous times and I'm thinking of going again this summer with my kids (boy, girl ages 11 & 12) they have already been 4 times. I can only go the 2nd or 3rd week in August. This trip I wanted to do Disney, Seaworld and Universal. My kids are not thrill seekers and I'm worried they might not enjoy Universal. However, they definitely want to visit Seaworld. I was thinking of purchasing a 2 day waterpark and more Disney ticket and a one day ticket to Seaworld and Universal. What do you think? How many days should we stay and is staying on Disney property feasible? Should I split my stay half on Disney property-half at a hotel closer to Seaworld? Thank you for your help. - 21 chereen { 03.29.12 at 5:36 pm }

Hi Dave. We are planning our Familys first Disney trip Oct 12-22. My question is we are arriving on a Friday early afternoon, we are not staying on property but very close by. I have read on your site that we should start at Epcot. My question is, should we still start at Epcot even though it is the food and wine festival? My kids will be 7 and 13 at the time of the trip. We are planning on spending 7 days at the disney parks. Any advice you have would be very helpful.

Hi there!! What a wonderful page you have! My husband and I are planning our family of 5's 1st Disney trip. (NONE of us have been if you can believe it, so we are excited!) As of right now we are thinking somewhere between Oct 13- the 27th (probably end up being there for a week give or take) I chose that timeframe per your suggestions. My question is, do you think it's wise to bring my youngest child? My childrens ages at the time of the trip will be 8, 6 and 14months. Are there accomidations for families with infant/toddlers? or would it be more of a hassle than its worth to bring her along? It seems that heat and crowds wont come into play, so if you know any tips or have suggestions I would GREATLY appreciate it!!! I also want to add that Im unsure if we will stay there or with my cousin who lives in Orlando, which would get me the best bang for my buck? (I know there are packages, etc) Thanks so much!!!
Amanda - 27 Jeff Hunt { 07.15.12 at 2:57 am }
Hi Dave. I'm starting to plan my 3rd WDW visit using your site, so thanks for that! I have a family of 4 (girls age 12 & 5) and we're considering an 8-night stay at a moderate WDW resort sometime between April 3-20, 2013. Based on your charts, I know this is a fairly good time of year to go. But since I have some flexibility on days, I wondered is there any particular day of the week you would recommend to start the WDW visit? Your sample 8 day itineraries start on a Saturday, but you also mention WDW is busiest on weekends. Would it be better to start on, say, a Wednesday so you get only 1 Saturday but 2 Wednesdays? Maybe I'm looking into too much, but it was just a thought.
If you can, I also wonder if you have any advice about dealing with diabetes in WDW? My 12 year old was recently diagnoised with Type 1 Diabetes (insulin shots, etc.) and this will be our first trip since, so we are a little nervous about how that will change things.

Hi Dave, planning a trip for my sone next november 2013, looking at arriving the Sunday after Thanksgiving and staying 4-5 days.

Dave – We are planning a trip to Orlando with our 5 (boy) and 4 (girl) year old grandchildren Nov. 4 – Nov. 7. We were planning on 2 days at Disney. Could you please advise as to which days will be best to go & where & an itinerary. Thanks for your help.

Hi Dave,
Very informative site! We're planning our 1st family trip during Christmas break in 2013 (not going to take kids out of school, so we accept that it'll be high season pricing). We honeymooned at WDW in 1999, so it'll be exciting to come back as a family. Our kids will be 10 (boy) & 8 (girl), but our daughter is special needs (non-mobile & non-verbal). She has a wheelchair, but the problem we have is sleeping arrangements. She's at risk for falling and simple bed rails aren't sufficient, so we need something low to the ground. Is there anything that can be done? Any recommendations on dates as well? We want to do the holidays on a budget.
I'm going to get the Pass Porter book, since our son has ADHD, and I know it'll be helpful.

My husband and I are looking to take our 2 daughters (5 & 8) in May for 5-6 nights…is there a savings we could benefit from if we don't stay over a weekend?? Would it make a difference Thu – Tue, Mon – Fri or any other combination?
- 37 joree326 { 01.16.13 at 3:38 pm }
In regards to Maria's question about a bed for her daughter, I wanted to mention that the Port Orleans-Riverside resort (Bayou section) use to have trundle beds in some of the rooms that were just inches off the floor. This may be an option to consider if they are still available. I hope this helps.

Hi Dave, my husband and I want to take our son next January to Disney for his 5th Birthday. Do you think we should start planning a year in advance? Also, I have seen you do not recommend January due to ride closures, but I am pretty sure we will be returning to Disney in a couple of years, so what week in January do you recommend? Thanks for such a helpful site, it's amazing!
- 41 Albert { 02.09.13 at 12:57 am }
Hi again Dave. We plan to arrive at the Art of Animation on Thursday April 25th for 6 nights. What do you suggest we do on our first day there and the last day. We're travleing by plane from Toronto and we should be there by 1pm. Thanks again for your help.
- 43 Heather { 05.06.13 at 1:42 am }
Hi, great site! I am taking my 9 yr old for his first Disney trip in November, I think. I can stay any amount of time and days. I am staying in the park, so my question is, I would like to go to Seaworld. I know it is not close, should I plan a day and rent a car? Any other ways to do it? I want to use disney shuttle to get back and forth from the airport so the Seaworld trip has to be within the time we are there, not after our trip or anything, thanks for any ideas!
- 45 Wendy { 05.25.13 at 3:00 pm }
OK, Dave, we are coming up to our 180 day window! Very exciting! I would like to run our plan by you…we are planning Magic Kingdom first since we have young kids in our group and they might focus on that many days, and for our kids, Epcot and Animal Kingdom are what they are most excited about!
Here is the plan…
Our trip for 10 people is Nov 23 – 29th this year. We will be staying at Wilderness Lodge. We have people 5 – 67 in our group – it will be so fun!
We are planning on one reservation a day – since we are a large group at such a busy time of year…here is the plan!
Sunday – no early hours – Magic Kingdom
princess make-overs at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the three girls in the AM – 10 or
11? for three girls
Be Our Guest – dinner reservation – as early as possible
We might NOT be able to get this…many report they cannot get one even in the first
minutes. What should be our backup?
Cinderella' s Royal Table – it is pricey, but we are up for it if that looks better than
Akershus or if we want to do 2 character meals.other ideas? Liberty Tree? Plaza?
Monday – early Animal Kingdom
if it gets too busy…Epcot – mid-day
lunch – Yak & Yeti at AKTuesday – Hollywood Studios
back to Animal Kingdom??? for all? our son would like the Sci-Fi Drive-in at HS, I think…but may not be
a hit for all 10 of us. What do you think?
We loved the Brown Derby at HS 15 years ago (before kids!) – but again, not sure
it is a fit for allWednesday – Epcot
breakfast 10ish – Akershus Banquet (Character Meal – our only one?)Thursday – nothing?
early – Magic Kingdom?
lunch – Whispering Canyon Cafe at our hotel
dinner – Artist Point at our hotelFriday – early Epcot??
Magic Kingdom??head the airport about 3:00 PM…
Any comments? Ideas?
As always, thanks for taking time to help us plan well for a wonderful trip!
- 47 Wendy { 05.25.13 at 7:13 pm }
Thanks – just the help I needed…
- 48 Tracy { 05.28.13 at 12:09 pm }
Dave, We will be going to Disney for the first time with our boys 4 1/2 and 81/2 during Christmas Break this year!!! I know this is the busiest time of the year but it works for our schedule!! We are arriving early the 27th of December and leaving late evening on the 4th of January. Please give me some planning advise if you have time! We would like to make reservations for 1 meal a day. Also when do the New Years Eve festivities becuase available? Will the Dining plan cover that meal for New Years? Is there a list of the buffets that are covered? We are staying at Carribean resort a pirate room of course.
- 50 Tracy { 06.23.13 at 10:33 pm }
Hi Dave,
I am traveling to DW for the very first time the first week of Dec 2014 with 10 people. We would like to stay at a Disney resort and would like to know when would be the soonest we could make reservations. We are all adults, youngest is 16 two 18 one 20 one 21 one 23 to 45 and two seniors needing mobility help. Any suggestions for my crazy group? Look forward to hearing from you. - 52 Ryan { 10.23.13 at 9:45 pm }
I am planning on taking my family on our first Disney trip together. I have been to Disney world 4 times, my wife once. I have two boys that will be 7 and 5 at the time. We are taking your advice and going during one of the weeks in December. My question is what type of dining would be best since we won't be doing any princess events. Also what itinerary should we follow if I am thinking about a Tuesday-Tuesday trip? My boys want to stay at the cars hotel. Any advice on room? We are AAA members. My wife doesn't like the thought of animal kingdom, should we even go? My kids love Star Wars, pirates, Pixar. Your site is great. I appreciate any help. Should we book this far in advance or wait and see. Thanks again
- 54 Carla { 02.10.14 at 7:40 pm }
Hi Dave…..I just found your site. What a wealth of information! Our family will be in Orlando from July 15-25, 2014 . I know it is a very busy time of year but we are extending a family cruise and these are the only dates that work. My kids are 12 and 14 so we can break up the parks to get a reprieve from heat and crowds. I was going to buy a 7 day park hopper with water parks added on. Does this sound right? Do you know anything about the Wyndham Buenaa Vista resort? I found some places on verbose.com that look really nice (we aren't interested in the timeshare but these are rented from owner). I really like lots of space and a cooking facility when I travel. Do you recommend renting a car or just using shuttles? I was looking a at "mouse savers" website to book tickets if you think his is a reliable site. This trip might break the bank but I want to do it right and have some time to relax. We are from Vancouver Canada and have done Disneyland before. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks so much for your assistance. Carla
- 56 Ann { 03.06.14 at 12:29 am }
Hi Dave,
What a wonderful website you've created.
My family and I are planning to visit Orlando in May. We can go anytime from May 3 – 17.
This is our first time to Orlando and Disneyworld; and we do not plan to return again. In addition to Disney World, we would also like to visit the Kennedy Space Center and spend a day at the beach.
My husband does not ride (motion sickness) and my son is only 7 1/2 years old. Any guidance that you can give regarding which parks to visit and in which order would be great. We love Harry Potter and Star Wars.
For accommodations, we prefer more up to date hotels and more spacious rooms. We are considering the Hilton Doubletree. Would you recommend it or is there a better choice for us.
Thank you in advance for your help.
- 58 Savannah { 05.25.14 at 12:23 pm }
We will have five people going on the trip with us. We are on a budget but planned to stay on a WDW property. It seems that we can only book a suite for five people but that does not work for our budget. Is there anyway we can book a four person room to help save on cost (we would bring an air mattress for the fifth person)?
Thank you for this wonderful site! - 60 Kristen { 07.04.14 at 2:50 am }
What an incredible site you have and you are AMAZING at responding! A rare quality indeed. (I LOVE your advice about 1st day at Epcot. Definitely taking note of that and agree!!)
We are planning a DisneyWorld Feb 2-5 with our 5 year old daughter. We will be driving from TX (have done this previously when she was 13months). We want to stay on site with some character (pun intended) to the room. I know we are nearing the 180 day mark and
When do they start releasing any "specials" or discounts for Feb dates, if any?
Are there are any dining deals during that time? We have gone full-on dining there with no plan (honeymoon) to almost-no-dining there (her trip at 13months). Just not sure what the best options – I'm all about bringing my own food for lunch, having snacks on us, eating breakfast at room, etc. but I also want the best for my $$ when we spend within the park.
Princesses… we want to do Cinderella's breakfast and the Boutique… any others that a 5 year old Disney-loving-princess-obsessed girl needs to have in her repertoire?
We plan on 4-5 days of actual parks… do we *need* the park-hopper for any reason?
I will read up more on your site and again and am thrilled to see such fine responses from you to those of us who are so needy when it comes to Disney wisdom.
Thanks!! - 62 Sarah { 09.25.14 at 12:11 pm }
We are from St. Louis and are going to Florida in Nov/Dec. We are staying in Daytona Beach for a couple days and arriving in Orlando on November 28th and leaving December 6th. My husband and I have two boys – 12 & 9 yrs old. I would like to know what parks you think they would spend the most time at and if a 4 day park hopper would be a good choice. We would also like to spend a day at Sea World and hopefully 1 or 2 days at Universal. We are staying at Bonnet Creek Resort (Staying with my parents and 2 nephews, this saves us from having to pay for lodging). We are on a limited budget but are trying to get the most out of the trip. Don't know if we will be able to get back while the kids are still young. I have been to disney when I was 12 (about 24 yrs ago, lol), but my husband and children never have been. So I would appreciate any advice/itineraries that you can give me.
Thanks, Sarah - 64 Kyla { 10.05.14 at 8:14 pm }
Hi Dave! I have reservations at Pop for nov 18-25, traveling for first time (driving 6-7 hours) with a 1 and 5 year old. Im debating on lessening stay to 20-25, debating on adding park hopper, and not sure what days to visit which parks. I did buy the Mickey Xmas party tix for Friday 21st. Advice please! Thank u in advance
- 66 Kyla { 10.06.14 at 8:45 pm }
Ok so def dates will be nov 18-25, wish i can move it sooner but my husband cant with work :-/. Thanks agaim!
- 68 Meghan F { 04.06.15 at 11:27 am }
Hi Dave
Just found your site and it's awesome. I am by no means a Disney expert, but I have been several times and consider myself moderately WDW savvy. We are planning a big family trip for Fall 2016 for my three boys and one daughter, who will be 17, 14, 11 and almost 5 then. Since this is likely the only trip we'll ever take with them as "kids", we're hoping to make the most of it (our oldest will be a senior by then). We love the water parks, probably won't waste much time on parades, are hoping to utilize a meal plan and character meals for the little princess to get her character fix and are considering either Art of Animation or one of the All Stars. My questions are this:which hotels sleep 6 for a reasonable price AND you recommend, do you foresee any obvious challenges (besides wildly divergent interests lol), and when should I book? I understand I can book as soon as this month for a Sept '16 arrival, but the rates are not set. Is this wise? Is it easy to apply a special if one comes up after the fact? Thanks so much for all your effort. You help make magic happen!

Good interchangeable Needle Sets ?
I'm in search of really good interchangeable Needles sets reasonably priced. Two I've looked at are the BOYE and DENISE. I want a set witht he capability to be as small as 12" length. I can't tell from the description of these if they can do that. They say you can customize length. Any opinions on quality...that's a big factor too! This is will be a birthday present so I want to pick the right one. Plus I'm a pretty new knitter so I only have a few needles right now, so I want to get the most use out of this purchase. Should I just forget interchangeable sets? Thanks for any help.
Hey Kelmommy!
Julie is pointing to the special "sticky" thread we created in this forum because there were SO many separate posts asking the same question. Just wanted to let you know why I locked this thread.... ;) |

All Aboard!
Jimmy Magahern | Sep 3, 2013, 9:29 a.m.
"We always love seeing the incredibly beautiful red rock formations and Indian ruins," she says, "but I particularly like watching for animals. One time I saw a dog herding the cattle at a ranch—I thought that was pretty cool."
While the Grand Canyon Railway affords passengers the best final destination in the state, the Verde Canyon Railroad is distinguished by the open-air cars it pulls between the covered coaches, allowing passengers a close-up view of the breathtaking vistas along what it calls "Arizona's other grand canyon."
"Outside is the best place to be," agrees Fermin Estrada, a 71-year-old native of the region who began working as an attendant in the first-class cars after retiring from the town's cement plant (still Clarkdale's sole big industry) in 2002. "That's where you do your best viewing." While Estrada hosts guests in the train's luxury caboose, he loves it when the party moves outside to the canopy-covered gondola viewing car, where passengers sometimes get close enough to the passing red rocks to touch them.
"A lot of people from back east are not used to seeing this kind of country," he says. "They haven't seen that red sandstone. It's just like Sedona, but without all the development. It's just gorgeous to look at."
Although the Verde Canyon Railroad doesn't offer the onboard Western entertainment that's become the Grand Canyon Railway's trademark, the train features several special events, like the occasional "Rhythm on the Rails" trip showcasing strolling Arizona musicians and Saturday evening Starlight Tours featuring "Grape Train Escape" wine-tasting and "Tequila Sunset Limited" shot-sampling, not to mention the popular "Ales on Rails" afternoon blasts during Oktoberfest season.
On any of Arizona's trains, though, regulars say the best entertainment is simply the slow-moving view outside your car's window.
"Of course we can't stop people from using their laptop computers and cellphones on the train," says Moore. "What does happen sometimes is after people have been on the train awhile, they begin to understand it's not quite as necessary as they thought to have all that technology with them all the time."
Moore has observed that sometimes even the kids glued to "Angry Birds" on their iPhone at the start of the trip will be watching out the window for real-life eagles on the way back.
"As the marshal, I'll sometimes say, 'You know, you can work on that laptop when you get home. Right now, you need to be looking out the window at all this gorgeous scenery. That's where the real action is.'"

Flathead National Forest
Flathead National Forest | |
IUCN category VI (protected area with sustainable use of natural resources)
The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex makes up a large fraction of the Flathead National Forest.
Location | Montana, USA |
Nearest city | Kalispell, MT |
Coordinates | 48°02′N 113°48′W / 48.033°N 113.800°WCoordinates: 48°02′N 113°48′W / 48.033°N 113.800°W |
Area | 2,404,935 acres (9,732 km2)[1] |
Established | February 22, 1897[2] |
Governing body | U.S. Forest Service |
http://www.fs.usda.gov/flathead |
The Flathead National Forest is a national forest in the western part of the U.S. state of Montana. The forest covers 2,404,935 acres (3,758 sq mi; 9,732 km2) of which about 1 million acres (4,000 km2) is designated wilderness. It is named after the Flathead Indians who lived in the area. The forest is located in the Rocky Mountains with elevations ranging from 4,500 to 8,500 feet (1,400 to 2,600 m). The Forest provides habitat for approximately 250 species of wildlife and 22 species of fish. This includes the threatened grizzly bear, lynx, bald eagle, bull trout, a rare plant named water howellia, and the endangered gray wolf.
The Flathead National Forest is bordered by Glacier National Park and Canada to the north, the Lewis and Clark National Forest and Glacier to the east, the Lolo National Forest to the south, and the Kootenai National Forest to the west. The wilderness areas in the forest are the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area, Great Bear Wilderness Area, and Mission Mountains Wilderness Area. Other specially-designated areas in the forest include Flathead Wild and Scenic River, Jewel Basin Hiking Area, and the Coram Experimental Forest. Some 270,000 acres (1,100 km2) of non-federal land are also included in the boundaries drawn for the national forest. This includes private land, commercial forest and part or all of Swan River State Forest, Stillwater State Forest and Coal Creek State Forest.
Commercial activities in the non-wilderness sections of the forest include timber harvesting, two downhill ski resorts and a small amount of cattle grazing. Individuals can pick less than 10 US gallons (38 l) of berries without a permit. Larger amounts of berries, firewood and Christmas tree cutting, and mushroom or mineral gathering in wilderness areas require permits.
The forest contains 1,700 miles (2,700 km) of roads, many of them primitive fire roads and 2,800 miles (4,500 km) of hiking trails.
Approximately 38 miles (61 km) of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail are located within the Flathead National Forest.
While camping is allowed almost anywhere within national forests without a permit, Flathead National Forest also has 34 campgrounds with some facilities. The largest campground has only 40 sites and 2 campgrounds have only one site each. Most campgrounds do not have running water. There are also 11 cabins for rent in the forest.
The forest lies primarily in Flathead County (about 73% of its acreage), but smaller areas extend into five other counties. In descending order of land area they are Powell, Missoula, Lake, Lewis and Clark, and Lincoln counties. Forest headquarters are located in Kalispell, Montana. There are local ranger district offices in Bigfork, Hungry Horse, and Whitefish.[3]

Marlo Hampton Blasts NeNe Leakes's Marriage and Plastic Surgery in Twitter Rant
Wow, ya'll, Marlo Hampton is seriously angry right now. Shortly after NeNe Leakes referred to her as Man-ho during her one-on-one special with Andy Cohen after the Season 6 finale of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Marlo totally went off on her during a massive Twitter rant. It seems that a lot of the posts have since disappeared, but luckily, All About the Real Housewives was able to jot down all of her ramblings before she thought twice about them. Marlo initiated her retaliation by declaring, "Man ho??? Now that's funny coming from someone that if they hadn't given birth, I would swear you were born a man." She then went on to repeatedly call her "Donald Trump," point out that she purchased her own wedding ring, and call her an adulterer who was still chatting with her ex man. She even criticized NeNe's plastic surgery. "You look like a man under construction and your nose job still needs a nose job," Marlo snarked. Finally, Marlo rattled off a series of hashtags blasting NeNe even further, writing, "#youstartedit, #letmefinishit, #maninthemirrorwaswrittenforyou, #makeupdoesnthelp, #richbitchwithnofurniturestillrenting." Can you tell us how you really feel, Marlo? Clearly, Marlo regrets her passionate Twitter meltdown, since she seems to have taken down all of her rageful posts, but it's pretty obvious that NeNe totally pushed her buttons. It's hard to believe that Marlo was a bridesmaid in NeNe's wedding less than a year ago with all of the hate currently flying between the former friends! Are you shocked over Marlo's harsh Tweets? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Goof: As Hoshi and Travis work on translating the Xindi-Aquatic language, Hoshi's rank insignia is missing from her uniform. However, in her next scene, her rank pip is back on her uniform.
T'Pol: Ensign, get us out of here.
Mayweather: Thrusters are down. I don't think we're going anywhere.
Arboreal: (to the Sphere Builder) We're grateful for the help that you've given us.
Builder: Then prove it. Focus on the task at hand. The weapon is nearly complete. If you permit yourselves to become distracted, you'll fail to destroy your real enemy. The enemy of all Xindi. Don't summon me again unless every member of the Council is present. I won't help fuel your internal bickering. (she vanishes)
Humanoid: You don't believe her.
Degra: Do you?
Humanoid: Why should we take Archer's word over hers?
Degra: Because Archer offered something she hasn't. Proof.
Archer: Hard to imagine that we'll ever get this ship back the way it was.
Phlox: It's a simple matter of repairs. Well perhaps not that simple. Somehow I don't think it's the damage to Enterprise that's troubling you.
Archer: How long have you been a doctor?
Phlox: Nearly forty years.
Archer: And in all that time, did you ever do anything you thought was unethical?
Phlox: Twice. Why?
Archer: I'm about to step over a line. A line I thought I would never cross. And given the nature of our mission, it probably won't be the last.
Trip: You did the right thing.
Archer: It seems the longer we're out here the more I have to keep saying that to myself.
Illyrian Captain: You're stranding us three years from home. Why are you doing this?
Archer: Because I have no choice.
Archer: (to T'Pol) We've had our share of disagreements, but you've never taken it out on my desk before.
Casey Biggs (Illyrian Captain) previously played Damar in numerous episodes of Deep Space 9.
