hi heather. visiting orlando 9/12-9/23. what did you wear during your rainy week at wdw? can't decide what to pack, was planning mostly tanks & shorts (& ponchos). do you think that would be good? want to pack as little as possible but want to be p
bev, the rain didn't change the clothes we wore on our bodies, but our footwear did take a dramatic shift. we did not once wear the tennis shoes we normally wear. the rain was so heavy that many areas were flooded (6 inches of water in a few spots!) and our feet were soaked. thankfully the water did drain rather quickly one the rain subsided, but the shoes would never have dried out by the next day. we wound up wearing crocs and sandals for the entire trip. not so bad for the rest of my family who brought their crocs, but considerably more inconvenient for me who only had sequined platform flip-flops! definitely learn from my mistake and bring some comfortable, fast drying footwear. ponchos are a definite must. i usually prefer the ones from the dollar store, as i like to have lightweight disposable ones. however, during the heavy sustained rain we encountered, the disney parks heavier weight ponchos would have been much better. the disposables are meant for short-term use, and they began to tear. we still used them, but we did need more than one per person, so bear that in ind if you bring your own. also if you're traveling with little ones, i highly recommend a fitted stroller cover. we would have been miserable without ours. finally...i know it's not what you want to hear, but extra clothes come in very handy. because we were getting so wet so often, we changed clothes more than normal. either pack extras or tuck in some laundry supplies and use a rainy afternoon to do a few loads. the resorts all offer laundries you can use. we had a great trip even in the rain, and i hope that, if it rains on you, you'll be able to say the same!
hey tarun, there might be days when you won't be able to step out because of rain at all. you really have to be prepared for that. after all it will be the monsoon season. rumourmongering notwithstanding, the answer is i don't know. 

i don't know how sophisticated the nhl's testing protocols are, and with the iihf opposed to the wada protocols of athletes having to provide their whereabouts on a 365-day basis (the ioc wants this, and team sport federations iihf, fiba, and fifa are all opposed), there are, potentially, opportunities.

with washington's roster, they will have several members of their team likely playing in the olympics, which has tougher testing standards than the nhl (among other things, a lot of otc cold medication will register a positive test).

i'm not sure about steroids. other ped's like hgh and epo, which help with recovery...without knowing how sophisticated the testing is, it's hard to answer the question.

i'll say this- "if" (and without factual evidence i don't like accusing someone of something) nhlers were to be using ped's, i'd say things like epo and hgh are the most likely options (given the rigours of their season and the marathon that is the playoffs). the league can, and should, test players throughout the season, including the playoffs.

with that being said...it's a joke what north american sports leagues punish drug cheats for when you compare the penalties outside of north america. roughly a suspension of 1/4 of a season in north america, while team sports (rugby, soccer) have 1-2 year bans for a first time offence. if the nfl, nba, mlb, and nhl were to be serious, a 2-year ban for a positive test would indicate a level of seriousness. i know hormones can affect how wet a female gets, for example taking the pill. did you recently go on the pill or start other hormone based contraception? 1. do you use rain-x® windshield treatment on a regular basis?
no

2. would you recommend rain-x® to a friend?
yes

3. do you think rain-x® improves the driving experience in heavy rainfall?
yes

4. on a scale of 1 to 5, rate your experience with rain-x®.
4

5. would you agree that when using rain-x®, you do not have to use your wipers as much?
yes last sunday i along with my friends decided to go to the riverside for a picnic. we planned to spend the whole day there, but an unfortunate event took place. we got an unknown call from somebody who introduced himself as our well-wisher. he cautioned us to avoid staying for a longer duration at the riverside for a picnic because there was a fear of a crocodile near the riverside. but, we were not sure whether it was a hoax or real news. nonetheless, there was no chance of taking a risk. hearing this news, we all became tensed and started looking for an alternative location for the picnic. but, we had already travelled for four hours to reach this destination and then the fear of crocodile was making us tremble with fear. all our excitement and happiness were reduced to zero and we couldn't think of anything better than keeping all our things back in the car and making our way towards our respective homes. therefore, the day which was supposed to be a happy and exciting one turned out to be a sheer waste for all of us and we all returned back with a sad face cursing the very presence of crocodile near the riverside. you have several water parks in utah. not meaning to be "testy", but with all there is to see in seattle area, to spend an afternoon at a water park seems like a waste. * traveler's checks are not recommended, as most stores won't accept them, and banks and post offices with very long queues are the only places to cash them in. make sure you keep your cash and cards safe by following these simple **money** security tips. 4. know **how** to dress appropriately ill start working on sumthing after the weekend ^^ good afternoon
during december we are in the off season so we will not have beverage service available at the pools or beach club however we will offer picnic baskets for the beach club which can include a bottle of wine should you choose. the sand at the beach is white sand with small hints of pink. we look forward to having you with us! A thunderstorm with lots of lighting, wind, and thunder.
