We leave at 8 Am, on the track again, hoping to ride further.
We head off-track direction south in a stony area towards a small pass. Arrived to this pass, we see on the right hand a small path for goats which is going up to an other pass, we take it.
Normally we have enough gas to reach Foum Zguid, but to be safe we decide to refuel with 5 l each. Someone indicates a store at the exit of the town which is selling gas in jerry-can. Good.
We stop in front of the shop and now is time for rock'n roll.
I put the crutch, unscrew the stopper of the tank, and I don't know why I decide to get out of the bike by the right-hand side. I must specify that I have short boots ( I'm a small guy ) and the bike is high
While wanting to pass my left leg over the motor bike, I hang with the heel the luggage, I lose balance, fall on the ground, on the bottom
In the movement I drag the bike down with me. I see the bike falling on me with the tank fully open, the gasoline runs on me with flood
I get up, and pick up the bike.
I am soaked of gasoline from the feet to the belt
Obviously the gasoline starts to burn me you can imagine what (fortunately that nobody smoked in the corner)
Quickly I have the balls on fire. The legs a little also but it is nothing.
I leave the boots, socks, bike pants, catch a bottle of water in my bag and pours it in the boxer shorts, `oh shit, my bollocks are burning because of the gas, it stings".
In record time I unpack the luggage (every morning it takes 20 to 30 mn to tie up ). I catch a boxer and my jean, I'm naked in the street, I'm pouring an other bottle of water, I wipe myself with a tee-shirt , I wear my pants, ouf it's going better.A local guy goes out the shop and give me a roasting because of the striptease in the street ( we are in a muslim country ), I'm very sorry but it was urgent.
I wear my trousers, it's a little bit wet, but regarding the heat I have had, it's not so bad.
The rasta guide is passing while, he is laughing.
On an other hand the wind is becoming strong a bit.
In the small dunes I fall, it's not easy to keep the right direction and find the best pass in the same time. The feeling to drive in the sand is coming back, but the bike is loaded, and with the luggage it's not so easy.
Far from here we can see a sandstorm, we continue on stones, in front of us the sky is becoming dark, I get stuck in the sand. We stop, the weather seems to become bad. I have a look at the map and at the GPS, there is a solution to avoid the erg, heading north towards a track which goes round the erg. We discuss and decide to going out from here.
In the erg
Quickly we find the track, the sky above the erg is black. This track is a hell, riding here looks like a pneumatic drill session during 100 km.
The storm above chegaga
Before the village of Zaouia Sidi, some guys stop us and require gasoline for the moped, we propose to them to siphon in the tank of Patrick's bike, during this time behind us we hear the thunder, there is lightning, I do believe we took the good decision.The guys want to invite us for the tea, but regarding behind us we prefer going a head
We arrive on the Iriki lake, this is a flat dry lake, because the sandstorm the visibility is less than 50m, hardly we can see the large cairns which borders the track. And then the stony track begin again
20 or 30 km before Foum Zguid we pass a group composed with 7 Jeep Cherokee, we stop and they offer us to drink a fresh beer, why not, they are very well equipped, fridge etc…
Further we meet two French guys who are on the road to Dakar, they have BMW overloaded, we discuss few minutes.
'' Hé Patrick, on est moulus, hein !!! ''
Foum Zguid center
We stop in the center of the town, exactly where we had stopped eight years ago with Gégé and Pierre. The shibani ( old man ) which made the skewers (when it is black it is cooked) is deceased, Rachid, his son, is now the owner. We explain him we were here height years ago. He invites us for the evening to have a drink..
There is only one hotel here , Iriki. Touring Hostel.
The shower is almost hot, I wash my stuff ( pants, socks scented with leaded super) We come back at Rachid bar, he serves us whisky, not berber whisky, real whisky, but it's recommended to add coke and a lot, if you want to swallow it.
Return to the hotel, meal and go to the bed, the day has been exciting
« Hey Patrick, you don't find that it feels a little the gasoline in the room ?? »
Outside the wind is blowing stronger

"...We Anglican Catholics know what Intermediate Primacies can lead to if left without a check or a balance. They can lead to the mess that the Anglican Communion finds itself in. They lead to the concept of the Infallible Local Synod whose heretical decisions are irreformable.In the western Anglican world, without exception, 'The Infallible Local Synod' (not to mention the 'self-righteous schism' it has engendered) is precisely what we have now come to. Can an Anglican claiming any kind of sensus Catholicus owe such a body his (or her) allegiance? It would be hard to argue that the recent development of such a chimera has not, if not altogether negated the vows of 'obedience' we, as clergy, have made to the predecessors of those who are now, seemingly, happy to regard themselves as merely the executive servants of these bodies, at the very least radically changed the way we in conscience are able to view them.
They can lead to self-righteous schism....".
For many of us, being 'a loyal Anglican' entails such a degree of scepticism and resistance both towards the direction our Communion has taken (irrevocably, it would seem) and the structures now claiming an authority to sit in judgement on both the Christian tradition and Holy Scripture itself - something which, of course, they cannot possess .... or, for that matter, were ever intended to possess when, mistakenly and with such tragic consequences, they were brought into being.

Of all the shows that convene in San Francisco, Spencer likes the RSA Conference most of all. Where else can the Rumor-Mongering Mouser go to see security spooks dressed like him in trench coats and battered fedoras?
The Gastronomic Gossip also likes the eats that are prevalent at this smorgasbord-by-the-bay. We're talking smoked salmon, shrimp cocktail and clam dip, washed down with a good Napa Valley Chardonnay-very much to the Katt's exacting tastes.
The most popular party on the second night of the show had to be Trend Micro's soir??«e on the roof of the W Hotel by the Moscone Center. Thankfully, a large clear plastic tent protected the partiers from the skin-chilling spring winds blowing straight off the Pacific. A jazz combo and some fresh cut prime rib also met with the Party Animal's approval.
Among the rumors circulating within the RSA party circuit was speculation over when Symantec CEO John Thompson is going to step down. "There's this unwritten rule that CEOs shouldn't stay on the job more than 10 years because they become stale in the job," whispered one security industry observer. "And Thompson's been in the job for nine and a half years," the tipster said.
Then Symantec confirmed April 10 that it had laid off an unspecified number of veteran employees, with many of them departing from the Veritas storage division.
This news lent credence to the idea that Thompson might fall under pressure to depart if he can't quickly make Symantec's storage division more competitive with EMC and HP. But Thompson was a key speaker at the show and doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon.
Spencer felt the RSA festivities were only just compensation for the fact his penny-pinching editors wouldn't let him fly to Honolulu for the Cisco Partner Summit.
The Grimalkin was intrigued by the news that emerged from the show that Cisco is buying the last 20 percent of Nuova Systems it didn't already own. This is significant because Nuova was started by four former Cisco high-level executives: Mario Mazzola, Prem Jain, Luca Cafiero and Soni Jiandani.
Cisco first invested in Nuova in 2006 and already owns 80 percent of the company. Cisco has used this startup strategy before by funding a spin-off founded by those same trusted, high-level execs they later brought back into the fold.
A source told Spencer the Andiamo project that resulted in Cisco's old storage switch was spun that way, too. Cisco has found this is an effective way to develop new products with minimal risk and lots of potential upside.
But one pundit offered Spencer another theory: With Cisco's stock price flat, it's one way to give those executives a nice payoff. The deal with Nuova is structured such that if the Nexus 5000 switch they developed is a great success, the payout could be as much as $678 million. If not, it's a lot less. "That certainly lends a special meaning to the phrase, -no guts, no gravy,'" quipped the Katt. ??

Well we have officially been out of our house for over a month now....man, what a roller coaster!! Its not over yet, but I have decided to help my kids feel as normal as possible I need to get back to doing the kinds of things I love, which especially includes having weekly family home evenings with the kids and using a weekly theme to do some fun activities with the kiddos :) Oh, how I have missed it! I usually post all this stuff on my other blog, Fun at Home, but in an effort at simplifying I think I will post it right here :)
We spent the 4th of July weekend up at Bear Lake and had an amazing time! The only thing the kids were a little bummed about was that it was too cold to spend much time at the beach. I got a bunch of fun things to do there and we didn't get to do any of it! So I decided to use some of the ideas we did last year and have our theme this week be the "Beach!"
Our first craft is to decorate sun visors to wear when we go to the beach (the little artificial one in Herriman ;) I got a pack of 3 foam visors for a buck from the dollar store, along with a package of summer stickers and glitter glue.
Another thing that we did last year that the kids loved was to make a little "beach-in-a-jar". We were able to collect some tiny sea shells from the beach so we will put those, some sand, pebbles, grass (to simulate seaweed) into a jar and spray paint the lid gold. The kids LOVE shaking them up and seeing what they can find. I think I will also throw in some ocean life buttons to spice it up a little :)
A really fun treat idea that I found on Preschool Express is to make beach cups. You simply make vanilla pudding and use a little food coloring to turn it blue. Then you crush up Nilla wafers to look like sand and throw in some gummy fish and sharks. The kids LOVE it :)
I think these crafts will give us a great start to our Beach Week!! If you are so inclined I hope you will join us in doing some fun things with your kiddos this week. And also, if you're like me its always nice to throw a little education in with all the fun. I usually try to have a letter of the week that we focus on, and if nothing else I simply to to DLTK Kids and at least print out the writing sheet for that weeks letter. Then I know the girls are practicing their handwriting and becoming more familiar with the letter. Here is the direct link for this weeks letter....B!
I also like to have a family home evening every monday that I try to somehow fit into our theme for the week (sometimes its really a strech!:) I will post this weeks fhe in a seperate post so its easier to label, its gonna be a good one! Hope your all having a fantastic week!!

Every thought if you encountered someone in your life which is made of great. By made of great I mean he/she is the person who achieved things by very hard efforts. I know many such persons but most of them I found my grandfather to be made of great.
My grandfather was the first person in our village who went to a city and made a career from nothing. He had a brother who never liked him and his family does not pay him any allowances or help him in getting a job. But still he maintains to do the ultimate task.
He took a job in a very highly reputable hospital and because of his sweet nature, people liked their company. After that he did all the things to raise my father and uncle in a good place. He bought a really good house and we are still living in their.
I ever thought that if I do just 20% of their struggle then I will be excel in every form. He is a person that defines the efforts.
He did a lot of struggle in his life and I knows that he is truly made of great.
Which one do you think who is made of great?

Interested in applying their graphic design talent in a new way in 80's Barcelona, brother's Custo and David Dalmau began using t-shirts as their canvas and Custo Barcelona was born!
That mix of fabric, graphics and color are the roots of what Custo Barcelona has become today. Custo Barcelona is a line of women's and men's wear that emphasizes interesting fabrics, vibrant colors and both printed and woven graphic patterns.
Although Custo Barcelona has a distinctly European flavor, drawing upon its Mediterranean roots in Barcelona, it also has a global appeal. Their sexy but sophisticated collections are a perfect fit for the Los Angeles lifestyle and are a favorite of Hollywood stylists, landing them in numerous TV Series and films.
Custo Barcelona is not a collection for the conservative dresser, but if you like to stand out in a crowd and look super hip, this is the line for you!

I have been anxiously waiting for the release of these sets! I have 4 sons, and my husband to create for, and quite frankly it has been very difficult at times. Free Spirit Boy and Sentiments are the perfect addition to my stamp supplies! I am looking forward to getting these inky!ReplyDelete

That sentiment stamp is chalk full of goodness! I did my budget on the w/e and decided to be a good girl this month when it came to stamp buying. Please excuse me while I go talk to my silly self. I need to set things straight ;)
BTW, when your template box was laid out flat in yesterday's pics, was I the only one who noticed it resembled a fun Tee shirt? How appropriate for the beach theme!
I'm off to ooh & ahh over all the DT's art. I think I'll make a pot of tea first - this is going to be some super fun!
Fantastic sets Claire. Perfect for all the men in my life...(tsk, tsk.. I meant sons, lol!!)
I just love all the samples you've been making and those box templates are brilliant.

I have three sons, and lots of nephews and all my boys have friends that we have to have cards for. Love all the different themes included in the set, love the paper airplanes, everything! There are so many designs turning around in my head. If you ever have to take out the extra "GOOD LUCK" in the set, put in the word "FLY". I want to use it with the sentiment
"It's time to.....FLY" and use the paper airplane. I love the rubber band boxes also. Such clever designs! Thank you so much, Claire. I love all your stamps!
Congrats on your new release. Masculine cards are so hard to do at times. These new sets will fill a niche.ReplyDelete
Claire SUCH a great release! This set is totally unique, different than ANY other set on the market. And your SENTIMENT set?! Holy cow, you thought of everything and then INCLUDED it all, too! What a fab company you have started, you should be so proud!!!!ReplyDelete

Hugs Tracy x
I've just placed my first WMS order, for 6 stamp sets. The label sets have been in my cart for a while, just waiting until all were in stock at the same time.

College Basketball Game Capsules
Seattle, WA (Sports Network) – Brandon Roy recorded a career-high 35 points as
the seventh-ranked Washington Huskies blew past the Arizona State Sun Devils,
91-67, to open Pac-10 play at Bank of America Arena. Roy, who entered the
contest averaging 16 points per game, matched that number in the first half
alone, finishing the night 13-of-22 from the field and a perfect 5-of-5
beyond the arc. With the victory the Huskies (11-0, 1-0 Pac-10) ran the
nation's longest homecourt winning streak to 32 games. The Sun Devils (6-4,
0-1) were paced by Kevin Kruger who tallied 18 points, while Bryson Krueger
chipped in 13 points and six boards before fouling out. Antwi Atuahene added
10 points off the bench as ASU had its two-game win streak snapped.
Final Score: (11) UCLA 71, Stanford 54
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) – Arron Afflalo poured in a game-high 23
points to lead the 11th-ranked UCLA Bruins to a 71-54 victory over the
Stanford Cardinal in Pac-10 action from Pauley Pavilion. Afflalo finished the
game 7-of-11 from the floor and 3-of-5 from long range, as UCLA (11-1, 1-0
Pac-10) won its eighth straight contest. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute notched a
double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds, while Josh Shipp chipped in 11
points in the winning effort. Matt Haryasz paced the Cardinal (4-5, 0-1) in

steals as the team lost for the second time in the last three outings.

The reason for this is clear: Up to now, the venerable Linux vendor hasn't had a cloud-specific tool or platform offering, although it already has many of the components needed to do this.
This all changes next month when Red Hat unveils a new cloud application-building platform at its users' conference, Red Hat Summit and JBoss World, in Boston.
The move that filled the last gap in the Cary, N.C.-based company's catalog was acquiring a small cloud-building tools maker named Makara last November. As a result, Red Hat expects to move immediately from the sidelines and into the game as a key player in the open-source cloud-app market.

Apps That Can Scale Up and Down as Needed
With Makara now in-house, Red Hat has the IP that enables developers to deploy J2EE applications to the cloud that can scale up or down as demand warrants. The Makara toolset is now an integral part of Red Hat's Cloud Foundations strategy.
"What we're working on at Red Hat is the confluence of open source and platform as a service," Isaac Roth, former CEO of Makara and now a Red Hat executive, told eWEEK. "On the day of the acquisition, we made our price point free, so that was good--we got a lot more usage as a result. Now we have a few thousand developers using Makara.com."
These developers are building cloud applications on RH Linux, J2EE and PHP using the Makara tools. Details about the new package will be announced May 3 at the conference.
"We've changed our focus slightly at Red Hat: We're now focused on building the best platform as a service (PAAS) for developers that build on open source," Roth told eWEEK.
"Red Hat's core of efficiency is developers that build on open source, so we take the open-source projects that are out there and contribute heavily to them, and wrap operational support and certifications packaging around them to create commercial offerings.
"So this is an approach for developers who want to build on open source and like the innovation that comes from open-source platforms: to use the latest frameworks, the latest middleware and the latest pieces being put in because people are contributing them."
Makara was a standard startup, with proprietary software based on free and open-source software, at the time of the acquisition, Roth said. It's been his job during the last five months to bring the cloud-connecting piece to the Red Hat catalog, which already has the operating system, the middleware (JBoss) and the services to comprise the cloud stack.
"Red Hat now has all the ingredients (for a full-fledged cloud platform)," Roth said. "We are based on the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), and we have JBoss for the middleware.
What Other Cloud Stack Providers Lack
"For example, VMware has no operating system; Citrix has no operating system or no middleware; Microsoft has all the pieces--they're positioned well but they have had no play at all in platform as a service."
Applications deployed in data centers aren't designed to auto-scale, and applications are usually over-provisioned to account for peak loads or reactively provisioned when capacity problems occur, Roth said.
"Makara enables applications to automatically scale down and up, so the consumption of resources happens in an on-demand fashion," Roth said. "That's the kind of control we bring to the table.
"When we come out with our offering, it will put Red Hat on the (cloud) map, and in a pretty good position with the cloud and open-source community."


text: Stay on strike, please. If this is the kind of stuff that Hollywood writers are going to put out, then let them strike as much as they want. In fact, maybe this time off and less money would make them actually write something creative. I don't miss David Letterman or Jay Leno, and could care less that any television show, except the office and the boondocks, are going to reruns. Now that I got that out of my system, the movie I'm here to review for you is "Beowulf." I know that it opened three weeks ago, but I'm writing to you from the great republic of South Korea. Most of the movies that opened in Korea, already have been in the theaters in America for a while. Beowulf Beowulf Beowulf, what can I say. Maybe I can say that they officially have reached the bottom of the barrel in Hollywood for trying to adapt the oldest English story into a movie. I must admit that I do not know much about the original story, but after I watched this movie, I had to research it more, just to make the sure the old English hadn't lost their minds. Of course the version that we get, is a watered-down version of the story where things - even for fable - seem out of control. After learning a bit more about the original story, it's obvious that the movie is only based slightly on the original tale (In reality, nobody knows what the original version was actually like). Like most epics, the story was passed down through time and from generation to generation, the stories got more embellished. After having said all of this, you can learn a very small lesson from this movie, and be somewhat visually entertained half the time. The makers of the movie used a fairly new form of technology called CGI, which actually gave a few of the characters lifelike features. Beowulf himself at times almost looked real to me, but at other times, especially during the fighting scenes, it looked like something out of "Final Fantasy." I will give this new form of animation its credit, Ray Winstone looked like Ray Winstone and it took me and my counterpart a few scenes to figure out that he was just animated. It starts getting tricky when they do water scenes, and the portrayal of the monster Grendel that terrorizes the town is a little disturbing. I mean monsters with hearing problems aren't really scary, nor is a monster that can be beat to death by punching him in his ear. And for animated people that looked real, the monsters looked like something out of an early '90s film. The lesson that we can learn from this movie is that mankind is fickle, and when faced with power and riches, oftentimes the choice is the wrong one. In this case, I think maybe the English were trying to explain that concept. Both men that take the throne during the length of the movie gain their power by forging a sexual bond with Angelina Jolie, that eventually leads to their dethroning. The interesting concept that Angelina Jolie is a demonic character that continues to trick these men into giving her a son, which in turn attacks the kingdom that their father rules over. Confusing? You have to wonder who in the world made that up. I mean, epic tales have their imaginative streaks, but this Hollywood interpretation goes beyond even that. The little bit of credit that I will give to Beowulf is that he took responsibility for his actions. After creating such a vile beast with Angelina Jolie, he does take up arms to defend his kingdom. The king that came before Beowulf created the same situation, but instead of taking up arms, he let the monster ravage his town over and over again waiting for a hero to save him. Beowulf, just like many of us, let worldly possessions turn us down a path that leads to inevitable destruction. If you like naked animated characters, go see this movie. I mean probably one of the most peculiar things the writers and moviemakers did was have Beowulf completely naked during quite a few scenes. It starts to border on comedy when he's running around naked and carefully placed objects pop just in time to cover him. I really wish I had more to tell you, but the movie just doesn't have it. It's a short choppy plot, that just overall doesn't make sense and it leaves you wondering about so many plot lines that were left open. In the attempt to scramble and find new ideas, Hollywood is looking to the past. This is just the latest in an onslaught of movies about history, that don't give history its due. Real history is a hundred times better than anything they can put on a movie screen. Beowulf (the actual person) probably wasn't a real historical person, but the story has lived on for over a thousand years, for a reason. The original story speaks of a strong man and strong leader that let his ego get in the way of what he is supposed to do. This story paints Beowulf as somewhat of reckless warrior, that is not at all great, but just embellishes his stories to make himself look nice. In the end Beowulf does get caught in his web of lives and is forced to make a monumental decision. So from "Beowulf" learn this, we all make mistakes in our lives, but the differences between the strong and the weak is what happens after the mistake is made. You can wallow in your sadness and wait for somebody to save you, or you can get up and fight with your life to correct the mistakes that you've made.

Homemade Heartbreaker – Pleasure Spiked With Pain
If, as they say, every dark cloud has a silver lining, then the opposite must also be true. That is to say, for every peak, there's a valley; no good deed goes unpunished; and triumph is often entwined with tragedy. For Jamey Montey, this real-life manifestation of Newton's Third Law of Motion hit home. Hard.
But that's just one chapter in our story. A landscape designer who keeps busy during the long Great Plains winters by futzing around in his garage, Jamey's first bike, a Honda Shadow, didn't stay stock for long. "I started cutting it apart after about three months," he tells RoadBike by phone from his home in Lincoln, Nebraska. "I'd never worked with metal before, but I became totally obsessed. Drove the wife crazy."
Jamey enjoyed the Shadow, but the obsession was too great to ignore. He wanted to build his own ground-up custom motorcycle. To secure a project bike for the dream he'd already begun to build in his head, Jamey hooked up with a local vintage bike dealer, Don Adams of Lincoln Classic Cycles. Adams had purchased a dirty-but-clean 1974 Honda CB 750 from a farmer in Kansas City for $120, and as soon as Jamey let him in on the custom that was taking shape in his mind, Adams told him that he had the right power plant for the job.
With the help and advice of a few buddies, Jamey soon began his project. He rebuilt the motor in the garage, and obtained a built-to-spec frame from Cycle One, an independent manufacturer out of Oklahoma City. A Wide Glide front end was hooked up, and a Sportster fuel tank was mounted to the backbone. For a custom Honda CB build, the project was quickly taking on a distinctly American feel. And that's just the way Jamey planned it.
"I made some of them, but the ones I didn't make, I made them fit!" he laughs when talking about the components. "Seriously, this is an American bike. Period. Everything was bought here, most of it locally. I'm a local businessman, so I try to keep it local and help out as many people as I can. Other than some tips on welding and wiring from some pro guys, this bike was a learning experience that I did by myself," Jamey insists.
Embracing that philosophy, Jamey enlisted his friend Brian "BB" Bye, an engineer by day who had access to a much wider variety of fabrication tools than could be found in Jamey's home garage. BB contributed not only bungs and widgets, but advice and guidance, and without his knowledge of metals and motorcycles, Jamey swears he couldn't have finished this bike before his target date, a premiere at last summer's Sturgis Rally.
RoadBike spied the bike parked on a street in front of a church in Sturgis, and when Jamey returned to find Editor Steve's business card perched on his bike, you can imagine the joy and satisfaction that enveloped him — as well as BB, who was right by his side. Phone calls were made, an appointment with ace lensman Fonzie Palaima was scheduled, and all was peachy in Jamey Land. Even when the CB broke down the night of the photo shoot, Jamey's excitement couldn't be kept in check. The rally was nearly over with anyway, so he and his wife simply drove their car to see a concert at the Full Throttle Saloon a few miles from their campground at the Broken Spoke, with BB on his bike following close behind.
After the concert, Jamey and his wife negotiated their way through the parking lot, while BB made for the preferred motorcycle parking near the venue's gate. They waved and yelled that they'd see each other "back at the Spoke." But Jamey never saw his pal again. An alleged drunk driver, traveling an estimated 80 miles per hour, rear-ended BB's bike on the freeway, running him over and killing him. BB was three miles from the campground.
The next day, Jamey loaded his CB onto the trailer for the longest drive of his life. He never saw the accident; the final photos on BB's camera indicate that he stopped to take some snapshots along the way, and he and Jamey must have passed each other in the night. But the pain and anguish return every time Jamey looks at the custom CB in his garage. He's been able to bring himself to ride it only once since the accident, and will probably bequeath it to his son Jacob when the time is right. This winter, however, Jamey's attention will be focused once again on the garage.
"The whole time we were out at Sturgis, BB and I talked about the kind of custom he wanted. He wanted a Knuckle. Well, I'm going to build it for him," Jamey promises. With a pinch of his pal's ashes mixed with the paint, Jamey Montey intends to spend his off-season creating a two-wheeled tribute to his friend and brother BB. It'll be a painstaking endeavor; one that Jamey feels is his to see to fruition.
But right now, he's got to hang up the phone: his father-in-law has hit a deer (again!) and needs to be rescued. Jamey doesn't mind picking him up. "No big deal; it's way easier than driving home from Sturgis without my buddy's bike on my trailer," he says.

When theists are asked to give evidence for their view, they point to hundreds of books featuring philosophical and metaphysical arguments, reports of miracles, and more.
When atheists are asked to give evidence for their view, they point to dozens of books explaining why they think it's completely unfair to ask them to give evidence for their view.

More hilarious to me is how they play the "Heads I win, Tails you lose" game. My favorite example:
If there are alien intelligences "out there", then that's proof we are nothing special, and God couldn't possibly be interested in us. Therefore, if not "no God" then at least "no Christ".
If we are the only intelligent species in the universe, then the vast, lifeless cosmos is proof that it was not created by God (because He would have filled it with life).

But, as Sonia got older (she's about to turn 4), I started thinking about crocheting again. Niki got me the Amineko book (which is utterly hilarious and awesome), so I picked up my hooks and gave crocheting another try. The first blue amineko (that's Japanese for crochet cat) was a success, so I crocheted a little pink one. Niki finally convinced me to give Pinterest a try during this past Christmas, and when I saw the insane amount of awesome free crochet patterns available on the internet these days, I got instantly and hopelessly addicted to crocheting once again.
Here are a few of the projects that I've made since Christmas:
Octonauts!! Because Octonauts is a relatively new cartoon and series of books, the British and American crocheters of the world took it upon themselves to create their own toys. People posted a bunch of free patterns! I found Kwazii (the orange cat) here, Captain Barnacles (the polar bear) here, Tunip (the turnip-fish vegetal) here, Peso (the penguin) here, and I free-handed the rest. These guys were some of my first forays into the world of amigurumi (that's the Japanese word for crocheted or knitted plush figure), and now that I've completed a lot more amigurumi work, I kind of want to go back and re-do the Octonauts to make them better. But Sonia barely even watches this show anymore (it was a brief love affair), so it seems like a bit of a waste.
Hello Kitty hats for my two favorite girls in the world, Sonia and Charlotte! I found the pattern here.
Batman hat for Peter! I found the pattern here.
After I made the Hello Kitty and Batman hats, I wanted to try to find a dragon hat to make for Sonia's BFF, Ike. None of the patterns I found on the internet looked all that great (I couldn't even find a good pattern to buy!), so I decided to create one myself by copying an awesome crocheted dragon hat picture that I found on the internet. I used the Hello Kitty base hat design and then emulated the picture as well as I could. Unfortunately, I only have cell phone pictures of the hat because I keep forgetting to take better pictures of Ike the Dragon!
Crocheted purse! I made one for me and one for Niki.... She lined them both with her mad sewing skills. Niki, we need to take pictures of the linings! I bought the leather strap from Joann Fabrics and found the pattern for the purse here.
Ladybug backpack! Free pattern from Red Heart Yarns, my favorite cheap yarn to use!
Owl change purse! I decided to try out using a clutch clasp that I found at Joann Fabrics by adding it to this pattern.
Ella's dinosaur purse! This was completely freehanded because as far as I could tell, no crocheted dinosaur purse exists on the internet either for free or to buy....
Sonia's Easter basket.... Freehanded as well because I wasn't able to find a pattern that I liked. I did model it after this pattern a bit.
Max's Yoda hat! I still need to tweak the forehead wrinkles a bit, but it turned out okay. I made it using a pattern posted on a craft forum, and the pattern wasn't entirely complete or detailed, so I had to do a lot of extrapolating.
This post just scratches the surface of all the crocheting I've done over the past 4 months.... When I find or take more pictures of my projects, I'll post them!

Fried Egg Sandwich
Did I mention before how much I love eggs? We love them so much at our house, with the exception of my 4 year old daughter. She informed me the other day when I was trying to get her to eat some- "Mommy, I just don't lub eggs." (Everything about her is either loved or not loved, no in-betweens!) Well, I will keep working on her until she joins the rank of egg-lovers in our home.
Meanwhile, I have also been having a dilemma regarding my camera. You see, I lost it right before Easter- just before we left to visit family out of town, along with a few lovely photos I was hoping to share with everyone. The camera still has not surfaced, and I am anxiously awaiting a new camera's arrival and hope to put it to use immediately. In the meantime, I am trying to use our original digital camera from years ago. Bear with this less-than perfect picture, but I just wanted to share one of my husband's and my favorite egg sandwich, which we use as a quick breakfast, lunch or even supper if I don't feel like making much. I grew up eating these prepared by my mom for breakfast or brunch. It has a few unusual ingredients, which you can leave out if you are not inclined to try them. However, when my husband first tried this, he was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors went together.
eggs- 1 or 2 per person
bread or rolls
mayonnaise or salad dressing
dill pickle slices
cheese of choice
sliced onion
Fry eggs in skillet- I usually make them with the yolk still runny and pop it so the juice comes out. This keeps the sandwich from being so runny. However, make them any way you like the eggs. After the egg is cooked, remove skillet from heat and lay a slice of cheese over the 1 or 2 eggs for each individual sandwich. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese. Meanwhile, start the bread toasting, and prepare the other sandwich ingredients. After the bread is lightly toasted, spread with some mayonnaise or dressing, a little ketchup (or more if you like), and layer the other ingredients on the bread. Remove the egg/cheese and place on the sandwich. Finish the sandwich by covering with the other part or slice of the bread. Cut in half, if desired, and then it is ready to serve.
How do you eat your egg sandwich?

New Technology Streamlines Planning Process for Skiers On-the-Go
Denver, Colo. – December 16, 2009 – Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) recently launched a new mobile website, which stands out as one of the most comprehensive ski mobile sites on the web. The new site, m.ColoradoSki.com, contains a wealth of up-to-date and breaking information on each of CSCUSA's 22 member ski areas, and quick access to Twitter and Facebook postings from CSCUSA and its member resorts.
Mobile users will find snow totals that can be sorted by resort, road conditions specific to the Colorado roads connecting to ski areas, and information on special events and deals at resorts. Contact information for each ski area's information desk, lift ticket office, rental shop, and ski school is also available, as well as parking instructions for each resort. Users will be automatically re-routed to the site when accessing Colorado Ski Country's main website from a mobile device.
"CSCUSA's new mobile website simplifies everything for Colorado skiers, from planning a trip to checking the latest snow report, all the way down to where to park when arriving at a resort," explains Melanie Mills, President and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA. "We think that this type of one-stop shop for Colorado skiers using the mobile web is a major step forward for the Colorado ski industry."
Integration of social media to the site is perhaps the most unique attribute of m.ColoradoSki.com. Site users can click on a Twitter link that instantaneously displays the four most-recently posted tweets from Colorado Ski Country USA. Other links to Twitter feeds directly from CSCUSA member resorts can give users up-to-the-minute information on whichever resort they may be visiting. The site also contains links to each resort's Facebook page, allowing guests to become "Facebook friends" with the resort they are visiting as they ride the lift.
CSCUSA partnered with web-design and marketing firm Internet Honey to create the site. The company's founder, R.A. Burrell, underscored the importance of the mobile site, explaining that recent research shows that there are now about 64 million mobile web users in the U.S. and that about one-fifth of adults in the country access the web from a mobile device for information on a daily basis. "This option allows users the flexibility to engage with Ski Country wherever they want," says Burrell.
The Ski Country mobile site, m.ColoradoSki.com, is new for the 2009-10 ski season and is now active.

Good morning everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. This weekend my fiance and I traveled to Chicago for my birthday. We spent time with one of my best friends from college, watched football and enjoyed delicious Chicago pizza. Last night we went to the Monday Night Football game in Chicago...I can't remember the last time I was that cold! We're traveling back to New York right now and I'm looking forward to a relaxing rest of the week.
Tomorrow is officially my birthday! I have plans to go shopping and have a nice dinner. As for the rest of the week I'm going prepare for the Holiday Party I'm hosting with a few other bloggers, continue planning my wedding and finish up a busy work week. I'm also going to take a few days off from Corporate Catwalk. Next week I plan on posting our engagement photos, so be sure to come back next Monday and see what's new on the blog.
As for today's post, last week I posted on Instagram a pic of my new elephant lamps from JCPenneys. So many people were surprised that the lamp came from JCPenney's, so I wanted to share a few other pieces that you might fall in love with from the Jonathan Adler collection at JCP! His collection is chic, with a mid-century twist, which go perfectly with my apartment. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of his collection. The blue curtains were just purchased! I'm so excited to add them to the apartment.

One of the many things I love about Austin is our strong, active children's writing community.
I'm very lucky to live in a city where we have a concentration of social children's authors. Whether it's panels or meetings hosted by our local SCBWI or the Texas Writer's League, we have many opportunities to get together and share writing war stories.
Just last night I attended a panel on first drafts — I wasn't on it, I just went to listen to other people discuss the craft. After the panel, the Leitich Smiths (one of the most social writing couples I think I've ever met) rounded up all the children's writers and herded us out for drinks.
(And before I'm bombarded with emails on the evils of drinking and pregnancy, rest assured, I had three glasses of water and chicken nachos. I have witnesses.)
While out, I had the chance to catch up on industry and local gossip, and I was able to meet some newer (to me) members of the writing community. I had a wonderful time just sitting and talking books with all of these people. I'm greatful for the adult, non-baby related conversations I was able to participate in. It was nice to get out of the house and away from the computer, even for a few moments.
I would like to encourage everyone to get out and mingle with your fellow authors. Writing can be a very solitary pursuit — just you and your keyboard or pad of paper. Interactions like these help you maintain perspective. Having trouble with a first draft? Get Cynthia to tell you all about how she deletes every first draft she ever writes. And I don't mean throws away the hardcopy. No, no. She makes every copy, paper or electronic, disappear. Forever. When your hear the tale, it's both liberating and heartbreaking at the same time.
And best of all, hanging out with your fellow authors is the best networking you can do. You'll find out who's agent is looking at work, what school has the most lucrative school visits, etc. So, get out there and start talking. Break that stereotype of the wan author locked in a dark windowless room working feverishly on a manuscript. You can do that when you get back.
And, if you do happen to be lucky enough to live in Austin, the SCBWI has a meeting tomorrow at BookPeople. See you all there.

|I swirled in some sour cream for the photo, but it's delicious unadorned as well.
Roasted squash soup with potato and apple
1 butternut squash, halved, seeded and stringy bits removed
1 apple, peeled and diced
1 russet potato, peeled and diced
1 onion, diced
1 large shallot, diced
1 sprig fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 bay leaf
4 cups chicken stock
3 cups water (optional)
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
Preheat the oven to 425.
Melt the butter and olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Arrange the squash halves cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. With a basting brush, brush the butter mixture all over the tops and insides of the squash. Reserve the remaining butter mixture for later.
Put the squash in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until tender and golden. Take it out of the oven and set it aside to cool for five minutes. Scoop out the flesh and put it in a bowl. Discard the skins.
In a stock pot, heat the remaining butter mixture. Saute the onion, shallot and apple in the pot for six minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring constantly, for one more minute. Add the diced potato and the cooked squash. Pour in the chicken stock and enough water to cover. (I add more water than necessary to increase the volume of soup so it lasts through several lunches.) Add the bay leaf. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potato is cooked. Remove the bay leaf.
Blend the soup with an immersion blender until silky and smooth.

Sausage Party review
Imagine if Pixar, the people behind films such as Toy Story, The Incredibles, Up and Wall-E, decided to make an adult comedy. Imagine if they gathered together a who's who of funny people, including most of the cast of Superbad alongside actors like Kristen Wiig, Paul Rudd and even Edward Norton. Imagine if they made a movie specifically dealing with the concept of religion, and that the world would be a better place without it.
Now imagine that Pixar were also really, really bad at making movies. Imagine that they lost their ability to effectively tell a story, to create interesting characters, to make movies that resonant with their audience. Imagine if everyone working for Pixar suffered a severe head trauma immediately before putting pen to paper, instantly putting their mental age back by decades.
The result is Sausage Party, a film that means well.
We follow a sausage named Frank who, along with the rest of the sentient food that lines the shelves of Shopwell's, waits to be chosen by the Gods who walk the aisles between them. All the food in the supermarket believes that as long as they abide by a set of rules, they will one day be chosen by the Gods and taken to the Great Beyond, their version of Heaven. However, when a jar of Honey Mustard is returned to the store, he brings with him the terrifying truth that once out of those doors, the food of Shopwell's will be peeled, sliced, chopped, grated, boiled, melted and devoured by the false Gods that they've been worshipping.
Subtle it ain't. Sausage Party presents organised religion as nothing more than a tool used to control the masses, which would have been a bold message for a film to contain if it had been released about 40 years ago. In 2016, however, Sausage Party's message feels far too reductive, and about as daring as that kid you knew in high school who quoted Richard Dawkins at people in an attempt to prove his superior intellect. Between this overly simplistic anti-religion message and the films lowbrow sense of humour, it's obvious that Sausage Party is trying really hard to cause offense - the only problem being that what would have once had audiences clutching at their pearls simply feels stale now.
Ethnic stereotypes, overt sex references, a penchant for profanity - Sausage Party trades almost solely in the risque, but the desperate attempts it makes to shock its audience are the equivalent of your lame uncle trying to prove he's still cool by telling what he believes to be near-the-knuckle jokes. It's almost aggressively stupid throughout, and screams of frequent collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg trying to reassure themselves that they're still relevant, still able to push at the boundaries of comedy - something that has never been less true than it is here. Sausage Party is simply incapable of getting the reaction it is looking for, a natural by-product of having seen it all before, and the result is a movie that is simply sort of embarrassing to sit through.
And worst of all, Sausage Party spends so much time trying to get a rise out of its audience that - barring a few decent puns - it forgets to include any actual jokes, ensuring that those who have long since grown tired of the shock humour on display here will find very little to enjoy. I believe Seth Rogen when he says that Sausage Party has been in the works for the best part of a decade, because I've never seen a film that feels as instantly dated as this does, as if it were from another era of comedy entirely.
Ultimately, Sausage Party isn't as smart, as funny or as original as it thinks it is, a real shame given a promising premise and the fact that deep down, it's heart is in the right place. But that doesn't make up for a movie that is simply very boring when all is said and done, far too monotonous and dull to be remembered as anything more than a disappointment. If you'll forgive the pun, it's clear that Sausage Party has long since passed its expiry date.

Well, I had planned on getting some scrapping done this weekend with all my new things I bought last weekend, but that didn't happen. Thursday night, my oldest DS came in our bedroom at about 3am saying he had gotten sick all over his bed. I got him cleaned up and a bed made on the couch for the night, Friday he was just fine. About half way threw the day on Saturday my middle kid was taking a nap in our bed and DH went in to check on him and he had gotten sick in his sleep, all over our bed! He was sick for a few hours and right when he was finally done puking, DH and I started in taking turns in the bathroom. ICK! We had gotten all settled in on the couch and lazyboy and about 11:30 ish I woke up to DD crying, I went to check on her, and she had gotten sick! I got her cleaned up and settled back in the lazyboy with her, she woke up a few times getting sick, but by about 2am she was finally done. We were all pretty lazy this morning heasitant to eat anything, but now that evening came we all were able to eat supper and are feeling much better! I'm off work tomorrow so maybe I'll be able to get a few things done. I do have 1 LO to show, but too tired to get up and take pictures!

A third addition to our ideas for the classroom that have come from the television program 'Taskmaster'.
This time, linked to English, and grammar in particular. Watch the video below:
The task set was along the lines of, "Place the gym balls on the yoga mat that's on top of the hill. While most contestants carried the balls up the hill to the mat, Richard Osman went up, brought the mat down and then place the balls onto it: balls on the mat that (was) on top of this hill. Room for interpretation in the prepositional phrase? Greg Davies thought so.
Can you set you children a similar task and look for scope within the prepositional phrases involved to carry out the task in 'their own way'?

It's February, and that step it's American Heart month! Despite total the talk about heart health, I plan we honestly forget what a full deal Heart Disease is in this land. It is the number one consideration of death in the United States. Numero Uno. That is not a thing to take lightly. Certainly we've taken steps to try and contend this epidemic, but yet heart ailment remains the most likely cause of dissolution of an individual in this abiding habitation. According to the Heart Foundation, a individual suffers a heart attack every 34 seconds. The interior-healthy message isn't getting from one side of to the other.
The frustrating thing is, heart ail is entirely preventable, yet I be in actual possession of met countless people who seem to conceive it is just something you "procreate." Although most will admit they could be under the necessity eaten healthier or exercised a tad mouthful more, they perceive it to subsist mostly out of their control. This sensation is not entirely their fault, however. Some doctors barely even mention diet or pursue (although some do, or refer to RDs, and kudos to them). In greatest part cases, meds are dispensed and symptoms are monitored.
But that's wherefore I'm here. I'm here to tell you that number undivided, heart disease is preventable and reversible. Number two, there are a plethora of well foods you can eat to "treat" yourself to in a superior manner health. Let's visit a hardly any categories.
Omega 3's
Omega 3 oily acids are heart healthy fats. They cure lower LDL cholesterol and reduce overall violence in the body. Whenever there is rage there is a higher likelihood of oxidized LDL substance deposited in the arteries. We emergency to keep LDL at healthy levels and lessen inflammation in the body. Omega 3 fats can help us do that. Where effect we find them? Unfortunately Omega 3's are not generative in the food supply, but in that place are some great foods rich in Omega 3s that you have power to start incorporating in your diet. Examples take in fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines, grass fed beef, and plant based foods such while walnuts, flaxseed, and soy.
Other Healthy Fats
Besides Omega 3s, there are other healthy fats that think up a heart healthy diet. Unsaturated fats, of that kind as those from olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocados are chief for the heart. Contrary to favorite belief, saturated fats aren't wholly that bad either. In fact, coconut oil, butter and eggs have power to be heart healthy choices as well, on these terms they are in moderation and element of a diet that avoids or limits purified carbohydrates. While in research we take seen saturated fats cause increases in LDL cholesterol, it's positively diets high in refined carbohydrates (preserves, bread, pasta, etc) that lead to the critical, atherogenic type of LDL cholesterol that leads to affections disease. I'd prefer you bestow up the pastries before you give up the butter.
We totality know fiber is healthy, but it is especially advantageous for heart disease, especially when it replaces finished carbohydrates in the diet. One detail fiber, soluble fiber, is known notwithstanding its ability to lower LDL cholesterol, ~-end all fiber is helpful. High fiber foods are every part of of the whole grains and settle foods such as fruits, vegetables, fruit of leguminous plants, nuts and seeds. Foods that are specifically lofty in soluble fiber include nuts/seeds, oats, buckwheat, apples, pears, soy and legumes. Eat more of these foods. Eat not so much refined carbohydrates, especially those high in sweeten.
Antioxidant rich foods are miraculous! Think of those plant based foods that are vibrating in color and full of odor. That color and distinct taste are frequently a result of the phytochemicals, aka antioxidants. What perform these antioxidants do for you? They resist scavange free radicals so they aren't left to vouchsafe damage to your arteries or other organs. They essentially render of no effect them. Since inflammation in the material substance tends to increase free radicals, antixodants are exceedingly important for heart disease. Good pabulum choices? Colorful berries (think blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc), grapes, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, all types of vegetables, inexperienced tea, and even coffee. But this invoice is certainly not exhaustive. All settle foods have some sort of antioxidant composing (and many of them work synergistically contemporaneously), so eat a wide variety of sow based foods and you can't action wrong.
Lean Protein
Protein is obviously ~y essential part of our diet. While higher ~-witted meats aren't necessarily unhealthy if part of a balanced diet, they be possible to lead to weight gain which is not the kind of you want if at risk conducive to heart disease. Lean protein therefore is complete because it's not typically superabundant in calories and helps keep your lineage glucose stable, thereby helping you assert a healthy weight. Make sure to be seized of some sort of protein source by each meal. Healthy options include meagre chicken, pork, grass fed beef, seafood, radical soy/tofu, low sugar dairy products and nuts/seeds.
There we walk. Those are the key components of a core healthy diet. If you focus in c~tinuance the foods in these groups though simultaneously cutting out the refined carbohydrates (that is to say sugar), you will be on a righteous path towards better health. Seems not difficult enough, right?
But what if it's not? As through most things on the internet, including this p~ of logical quantity, words on paper don't exactly render to actions at home. I totally master it. I can read all lifetime about accounting on the internet no more than I'm not one who gets those concepts steady my own. I need help, ~forward I have a book keeper! The sort goes for diet. Don't be ashamed if you have more questions. That's why us Registered Dietitians are here.
The beautiful trait of a visit with an RD is that we win to sit down with you in spite of an hour (and sometimes even longer) to debate and create the best diet as being YOU. Unlike in a doctor's post, you have time to ask tot~y your questions and receive lengthy feedback. Often commonalty are confused as to where to raise, what are appropriate portion sizes, that which are some good meal ideas, etc. We be possible to walk through this with you and make a plan that will work in the place of you and your lifestyle. While some are afraid, thinking of us in the same manner with the "food police," we should subsist though of instead as the "victuals guidance counselor." We are not hither to judge, just to guide. We efficiency suggest new diet options and reinvigorated lifestyle goals, but always alongside you and with your complete agreement.
Please, if you be in possession of or are at risk for disposition disease, incorporate these foods mentioned too proud for. If you have never seen every RD before, I highly recommend finding one in your area. Maybe it's virtuous a one time visit, but at least you will get tailored advice and government to ensure you are doing things the right way. Eating shouldn't be rocket sciencePsychology Articles, still in our day and time it's starting to set off that way. Take charge of your freedom from disease and let's together reduce the incidence of fortitude disease in this country.
Celexa to Lexapro since patients suffering with major depressive conditions may experience worsening of their ~ of spirits.

Where to use your Fastpass+ Hollywood Studios Edition
My last installment of my opinions on where to prebook your Fastpass+ options.
The Great Movie Ride-This one is a good one to use your Fastpass+ choice for.
There are 13 choices for Fastpass+ experiences at Hollywood Studios and this is another 2 tier park.
Tier 1-CHOOSE ONE
Beauty and the Beast- Live on Stage- I don't think a Fastpass+ is necessary here.
Fantasmic! I wouldn't use your Fastpass+ here either, I think the Fantasmic Dinner Package is a good idea though. (this will guarantee you seating) The Fastpass+ does not save your seat there or give you a better spot. Just get to the show a little early and you will be fine.
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster- I hate that Toy Story Mania and this ride are in the same tier because I love both. The line for Toy Story Mania is usually longer though, so I would still choose it. Just try and get there early for this ride. This is a major thrill seeker so obviously if you have small children Toy Story is a no brainer.
Toy Story Mania!-USE YOUR FASTPASS HERE! I LOVE this ride and it is for ALL AGES! The line is always so long here!
The Great Movie Ride-This one is a good one to use your Fastpass+ choice for.
Tier 2- CHOOSE TWO
Disney Junior- Live on Stage!-This gets you at the front of the room which is not a very good spot, and a Fastpass+ is just not necessary.
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular-The pre-show here is actually pretty fun, so I wouldn't use one here!
Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show-Not necessary here either, just arrive about 30 minutes early.
Muppet*Vision 3D-There are rarely long lines here, a Fastpass+ is not necessary.
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue-This would be a good one to fill your 3 spots as the lines can get quite long.
The American Idol Experience-NEVER NEVER NEVER!
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror-Definitely use a Fastpass+ selection here, I love this ride! Keep in mind that it is a thrilling ride so if you don't have thrill seekers on your list, you may want to choose something else.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid-This one isn't crucial but if you are looking for something to fill your spot, it isn't a bad idea!
That is all! Good luck!

Where to use your Fastpass+ options at Animal Kingdom
In my third blog post about where to use your Fastpass+ options, things have changed! You can now get more than 3 Fastpasses in one day BUT you can still only get 3 in advance so I am here to tell you which ones to get in advance to guarantee that you will get one at a time that fits your schedule well.
There are 9 options for Fastpass+ experiences here and this is just my opinion on ones that are worth the pre-booking. There are no tier systems here.
Dinosaur-I think this is an underrated ride. I LOVE IT! It truly scared me the first time that I rode it! I definitely recommend a Fastpass+ here because the wait times can get long!
Expedition Everest-If you have thrill seekers on your list, you definitely want to do this one! It does have long lines so it is a good choice for your Fastpass+ options.
Festival of the Lion King-This gives you special seating for the show, it is not necessary to use a Fastpass here.
Finding Nemo-The Musical-This is another one that gives you special seating, the seating is not what is really great about these Fastpasses. What I like is that you don't have to show up a half hour before the show and wait. So if you need a Fastpass to burn, use it at one of these.
It's Tough to Be a Bug!-The wait time is not usually very long here so I wouldn't use a Fastpass here. That doesn't mean skip this attraction! I love it!
Kali River Rapids- I don't know what it is about this ride (probably the slow loading time) but the lines are always long! If you are ready to get completely soaked, get your Fastpass here!
Kilimanjaro Safaris-This is an awesome ride! You will see live animals. A good tip is to show up early because this is when the animals are most active but either way, Fastpass it!
Character Meet and Greet-This is in the process of changing characters but either way, you don't need a Fastpass.
Primeval Whirl-This is not my favorite ride but lines can be long so if you need a Fastpass choice, you may want to get it!
I said this in my other posts, this is all about what fits your family. If you have small children, Dinosaur, Everest and Primeval Whirl shouldn't be at the top of your list but with older kids it will be!
