Scott Kirby won the SportsVolusia.com Home Run Derby Friday night at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. Kirby hit five home runs to Chris Gatewood's three in the championship round.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Major League Baseball players may have been the headliners in the SportsVolusia.com Home Run Derby Friday night at Jackie Robinson Ballpark, but a pair of free-swinging softball veterans stole the show.
Scott Kirby out-blasted Chris Gatewood 5-3 in the final round to win the event's title. Over three rounds, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Kirby, who said he is a contract player for Easton, belted 17 home runs. Gatewood, a big, 6-foot-3, 295-pound slugger, also hit 17 home runs in the event – only coming up short in the final round.
"This was awesome," Kirby said. "It was a lot of fun."
While Gatewood might not have taken home the title, his towering shots – he hit several that seemed to still be rising as they cruised over the lights and out of the park – may have been the night's highlight.
"He was bombing them," Kirby said. "Anybody that did not get to watch this missed Chris putting on a show."
Count St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina as one who was impressed.
"It was amazing to see the ball flying that far," Molina said. "It was unbelievable to see how they could do that."
Molina was the only major leaguer to advance past the event's first round. He hit two home runs in that round, but managed just one in the second round. His brothers – Tampa Bay Rays catcher Jose Molina and retired major league catcher Bengie Molina – did not fare as well. Bengie hit one home run in the first round while Jose went homerless. Fellow St. Louis Cardinals catcher Tony Cruz also went homerless in the first round.
Meanwhile, Kirby blasted eight home runs in the opening round and Gatewood managed seven. Local competitor Gary Malphurs managed two home runs in the first round.
Gatewood led the way in the second round with seven home runs while Kirby hit four as the pair advanced to the final round.
"We just had a lot of fun," Gatewood said. "Any time we can come out and hit a lot of balls really hard … you can't complain about that.
"And this was awesome. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be next to the Molina brothers and be able to grace the same field as these guys. These are guys that make millions, and I'm just a guy that runs a hotel in St. Augustine."
Much of the group is slated to return to the Jack today. At 1 p.m., Giles Electric and 7th Inning Villains are scheduled to play in the title game of the Hilton Brawl at the Beach softball tournament. The winning team will move on to play the Molina's team – partly comprised of current and former major leaguers – at 3 p.m.
Proceeds from Friday night's event and Saturday's softball games will go to Yadier Molina's charitable Foundation 4.

The Department of Energy today announced 27 new proposed penalties against companies selling products in the United States without certifying that they comply with energy efficiency or water conservation standards.
The legally required certifications are said to ensure that products sold in the U.S. deliver significant energy and cost savings to buyers. Prior to the Obama Administration, the Department had never systematically enforced DOE's 35-year-old energy efficiency standards. Lax enforcement of energy efficiency standards undermines the goal of increased energy efficiency – now clearly a national security issue.
There are other implications as well. While not directly automotive industry related, today's enforcement actions – coming on top of a newly activist Department of Transportation in automotive safety matters and the U.S. Trade Representatives' duties on Chinese tire imports, among other well-publicized examples – are the latest indications that an industrial policy of sorts to protect manufacturing jobs is underway across the Obama Administration.
The U.S. is alone among industrial nations – either communist run or elected democracies – to lack formal policies to protect U.S. jobs, now a contentious mid-term election year issue with record high unemployment levels not seen since the Great Depression.

After enduring a difficult debut season in English football, Laurent Koscielny has gone on to establish himself as a mainstay in the heart of the Arsenal defence.
The French defender, who signed from Lorient in the summer of 2011, took time to settle in north London, but he has just completed a hugely successful season from a personal point of view, with his contribution to Arsenal's campaign not going unnoticed by the club's fans.
The 26-year-old was voted fourth in the club's official Player of the Season poll, and the man who has been one of Arsene Wenger's most consistent performers this year, credits his improvement on the pitch to the hard work put in behind the scenes off it.
Speaking to Arsenal Player, Koscielny said: "I was in the gym more, that is the first reason [I have been stronger]! I feel better than last year. I know the league, my team and the Club.
"I think I am better on and off the pitch so for a player, when you feel good with your team-mates, the Club and his family, it is better. I feel very good to help my team and to qualify for the Champions League. I just wanted that for the end of this season.
"I know this league more than last year. In all my body I am better, not just physically, psychologically as well. It's great for me, I work hard in training to be strong and the results have been in my game. I try to be strong and be the best defender I can in my team."
On one of the most dramatic final days in Premier League history, Koscielny played his part as Arsenal beat West Brom at the Hawthorns, scoring the winning goal in a 3-2 success for Arsene Wenger's side.
That win ensured the Gunners would be playing Champions League football at the Emirates next season, and that victory felt even sweeter given that it secured Arsenal's spot as the top club in north London, with Tottenham having to settle for a fourth place finish.
However, rather than focussing on personal achievements, Koscielny reflects on a successful season for the team as a whole, as he underlines the defining moment of Arsenal's campaign as one that was a collective triumph.
"I have a lot of best moments but maybe against Tottenham [was the best] because we were losing 2-0 after 25 minutes and came back to win," he said.
"It was the derby so the atmosphere was amazing. The fans were amazing and it was a very good game for every player and everybody who watched this game."

Difference between revisions of "Falmouth (Cornwall)"
Revision as of 18:02, 20 March 2013
Falmouth is a seaside town in south Cornwall. Famous for its beaches, it is home to the world's third largest natural harbour. The four main beaches in Falmouth are Gyllyngvase, Castle, Swanpool, and Maenporth. It is also known for its castles, Pendennis and St.Mawes, both built by Henry VIII as he fortified the south of England.
Get in
By train
First Great Western trains run from all over the South of England to Truro, and Virgin trains will bring you there from Scotland, the North and Midlands.
At Truro station, make your way to the Falmouth branch line at platform 1 - the journey takes around 20 minutes and the trains run regularly. Falmouth has three stations:
By bus
First Devon and Cornwall operate most bus services into the town, with half hourly services from Cornwall's capital Truro. Half hourly services also operate from Camborne (Cornwall's traditional mining centre). Other destinations are also served. While buses in Cornwall are usually reliable, lapses do occur and travellers used to using buses in large cities may be dissapointed at the prospect of long waits. For timetable information, visitors are advised to telephone Traveline on 0871 200 22 33 or visit [5], who will provide details of all buses in operation.
By car
Most travellers into Cornwall will come down the M5 and change onto the A30 at Exeter. To get to Falmouth, travellers must turn off the A30 on to the A39 at Fraddon, signposted as Truro. The A39 should be followed all the way through Truro until Falmouth is reached.
By boat
It is possible to enter Falmouth by boat from Malpas near Truro, St.Mawes across the Fal river and Flushing across the Penryn river. Falmouth has also become the starting Ferry port for some Mediterranean and Baltic Cruises.
Get around
Be warned: Falmouth is extremely hilly in places, and some roads (Killigrew Street, Trelawney Road) will have you cursing town surveyors. Fortunately, most of the attractions are between The Moor and Falmouth Docks, which is relatively flat. The town is generally cycle-friendly.
Falmouth is also on the South West Coast Path, which makes for some excellent walks.
Harbour View Cafe- Views across the harbour from this small cafe. Most of the seating is outside covered with large umbrellas and heaters. The food is locally sourced, with a large array of seafoods fresh from Cornwall.
Five Degrees West - Award winning food, gargantuan burger meals and a sleek modern interior to boot.
The Quayside - Some legendary lunches.
The Harbout Lights - Fish & Chips that taste like home.
Kessell's Kitchen - On "The Moor" great sandwich shop.
The Packet Station - Wetherspoon's through and through.
WC Rowe - Get Cornish and have a REAL Pasty, or act like an Emmet and wolf down a Freshly Cut Sandwich.
Pizza Express - Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Willy Dynamites - best burgers in town!
Burger King - Erm...
Falmouth has a special place in every hardy drinkers heart. It's main shopping street runs in a straight line and has a pub every 50 metres on average: with more than 15 bars within a square mile, the town is designed for pub-crawling. Beginning at the Maritime Museum, bars include:
Here the road splits. Head up 'The High Street' to find:
Head towards the Moor to find:
Outside the main shopping street there are more pubs to be found including:
As a tourist resort, Falmouth has many hotels and B&Bs. Here are some of the largest:

Rene Tosoni hit a go-ahead homer in the 10th inning and the visiting Minnesota Twins ended an eight-game losing streak to the Cleveland Indians with a 6-4 victory on Sunday.
Trevor Plouffe hit a game-tying homer in the sixth for the Twins, who won for just the third time in 22 games. Minnesota (61-98) needs to win two of its final three games to avoid its first 100-loss season since 1982.
Tosoni led off the 10th belting a 1-1 fastball from Tony Sipp (6-3) to right for his fourth home run of the season. Chris Parmelee's RBI single to right made it 6-4.
Kyle Waldrop (1-0) threw a perfect ninth for his first career win while Joe Nathan worked the 10th for his 14th save in 17 chances.
Shelley Duncan hit a two-run homer for the Indians, who were seeking to win nine straight over Minnesota for the first time since 1959.
Duncan, who drove in six runs in a doubleheader sweep Saturday, gave Cleveland a 4-2 lead when he drilled an 0-1 fastball from rookie Liam Hendriks into the first row of the left field seats in the third. The 22-year-old Hendrik was making just the third start of his career.
The Indians gave their fans something to cheer about late in the game, moving Jim Thome to third base for one pitch. Thome, who hadn't played at the hot corner since 1996, gave the fans a wave as he left the field to a warm ovation.

yeah Leo, why let sis in law pick up an std from some unknown guy when she can have safe sex with you!
I saw my wife's sister Kit was at the local pool several years ago and she was wearing a dull, one piece swim suit. I didn't really pay any attention until I saw that massive bush peeking through the leg openings of her swim suit. She caught me gazing at her dark, curly pubes too and confronted me about it later. She scolded me and then reminded me that I was married to her sister and staring at her crotch was inappropriate. Then, with a cute little grin she asked me if I was turned on by it. Needless to say, I fucked Kit a week later in the change room shower at the same pool. There's nothing any more satisfying than leaving a huge cream pie inside a tight, juicy, hairy pussy. Kit must have liked it too, we've been screwing twice a week for nearly seven years now ;)
Buy a machine for shaving.That ugly your pussy
Mmmm, if only more girls left their fur alone. This is SO sexy...expecially when there's a lot of fur growing in their butt crack. HOT.

Before freshman Emily Byers stepped into the batter's box to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning Thursday afternoon against Shawnee Mission West, Free State High softball coach Lee Ice told his No. 3 hitter if she got ahead in the count, she had the green light to hit the ball as far as she could.
In response, Byers spanked a solo home run over the center-field wall at FSHS, inciting a nine-run inning and an easy, 14-0, five-inning victory to open the doubleheader. Free State swept with an 8-2 victory in Game 2, extending its winning streak to nine games.
SMW pitcher Cheyenne Stevens elevated her pitch on Byers' homer, and then made the same mistake against Firebirds junior Whitney Rothwell, who sent a near duplicate blast out to center for back-to-back home runs.
"It lit up the team," Byers said of the shots, after going 3-for-4 with four RBIs, "and motivated them to do exactly what we did. It worked."
The solo blasts gave Free State (12-1 overall, 7-0 Sunflower League) a 7-0 lead in the fourth, but the Firebirds kept on punishing the Vikings (2-10, 1-6).
An error following a bunt single by Remington Samuels allowed courtesy runner Courtney Elston and Meredith Morris to score, making it 9-0. Two batters later, FSHS had just one out and the top of its lineup coming up with Samuels and Paige Corcoran on base. A'Liyah Rogers, Emily Bermel, Byers, Rothwell and Courtney Parker delivered five straight hits, and the Vikings were through.
Said Rogers: "Once we have them down, we just keep kicking them down. We never stop. We needed those hits for a big lead, so they couldn't come back."
Not that SMW had much of a chance against FSHS starting pitcher Meredith Morris (8-0). The junior allowed one base hit in the first and another in the fourth. She struck out three and retired 14 of the 17 batters she faced without allowing a walk.
Ice claimed the sweep wasn't as easy as it looked.
"I approach (games) all the same way, and that's the thing you've got to get the kids to understand," the coach said. "It's a new day, and you can't take anything for granted. Even after the 14-0, it's a 4-2 game (in the fourth inning of the nightcap) and we added a couple here and there."
The Vikings scored two in the top of the fourth, because it was the only inning of the second game in which they got to FSHS junior pitcher Kaley Delg. SMW had three of its five hits in that frame, and Delg (4-1) struck out two, while walking none in a complete game.
An RBI single from Courtney Parker and a two-run base hit for Samuels in the fifth eradicated any chance the Vikings had of keeping it close.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann says she's working to muster support in Minnesota and Washington for money to add a new Interstate 94 lane in each direction between the western suburbs and St. Cloud.
The congresswoman gathered supporters Monday at the state Capitol to talk about the project, as well as a related push to upgrade Highway 10 that runs parallel to the heavily traveled interstate. Backers of the I-94 project are trying to amass $25 million for the first construction phase of an expansion that could reach $100 million when fully complete.
Bachmann says transportation is one of the "supreme duties" of government because it directly affects safety and commerce.
A Minnesota Department of Transportation spokesman says the I-94 widening doesn't rank high on the agency's project list.

FITCHBURG -- North Middlesex has had problems scoring goals this season, but the Patriots' offense was on fire in a 9-3 victory over Nashoba Tech in Coughlin Conference boys' hockey action Sunday night at Fitchburg State University's Wallace Civic Center.
It took just one period for North Middlesex, now 7-8-2 overall, to pretty much put the game away.
Defenseman P.J. Dupre scored on a wrist shot from the slot on a power play at 1:51 and the hosts would add four more before the first intermission concluded, outshooting the Vikings 18-4 in the frame.
A goal by Josh Miller and two by Danny McNamara, who finished with a hat trick and was praised as one of the team's hardest-working players by head coach Mike McCarthy afterward, put North Middlesex comfortably in front to stay, 5-0.
If they can emerge victorious in two of their final three regular-season games, the Patriots will make the postseason.
Despite his team's prodigious offensive output, coach McCarthy still saw room for improvement from his squad.
"From a coach's standpoint, you see all the things you do wrong. We let Nashoba get back in it in the second period," he said. "We outshot them 9-8 (in the second period) and then we turn around and outshoot them 17-5 in the third. Nashoba played hard and played up to its ability. That team came back and punched us in the mouth and beat us 2-1 in the second. Hats off to them for coming out fighting in a 5-0 deficit. Our team didn't show up in the second period and they were told about it between periods.
The Patriots suffered a frustrating 3-0 loss to Lunenburg/Ayer on Wednesday, when they fired 22 shots on goal and failed to connect on a 5-on-3 power play.
On Sunday, Daigan Robichaud made good on a Nashoba turnover and scored unassisted for North Middlesex's sixth straight goal at 4:47 of the second. The young Vikings, who have eight freshmen on their roster, answered back with consecutive tallies by David Marchessault. Nate Baldinelli assisted on both to make it a 6-2 contest.
As McCarthy pointed out, the Vikings competed better in the period two and Brad Medlin ended up with Nashoba's third goal in the final stanza off a feed from Brandon Williams.
In the assist department, Brett Estrella dished out five, Miller and T.J. Melanson had two, and Jay Cobleigh and Devon Blanchard each had one for the Patriots. Matt Brennan and Medlin had excellent early scoring chances for Nashoba.
Miller collected his second (goalie Ryan Twomey assisting) and Blanchard drilled one home off a pass from Melanson.
Freshman goaltender Ryan Leedham acquitted himself well, making 35 saves for the Vikings. Twomey was much less busy and was called upon to make 14 stops in goal for North Middlesex.

[Cosmic Combat] New Mission Pool Mechanics
January 16, 2006, 05:41:56 AM »
Development of my game Cosmic Combat continues. You can download the newest version of the game here:
Version 0.2 still has most of the problems with situation and procedures of play noted in the earlier Ronnies feedback thread:
The purpose of this thread is to start fixing them. I'm completely reworking the section entitled "Playing Cosmic Combat". Here's what I have so far:
During character creation, every player chooses a Motivation. The Motivation of the character shows his goals and drive to act in the game, and shows what his personal story will be about. Motivation should be goal oriented, meaning it can be fulfilled in play. Examples:
- Hatred for another Incarnate.
- Seeking revenge against the murderer of your brother.
- Sworn to protect your home planet or solar system.
- Fight the darkness within yourself.
- Redeem yourself for a wrong committed in the past.
The Mission
The GM presents the basic mission, as described in the current version of the PDF. I probably need more guidelines here.
The mission and the characters' Motivations should become intertwined as play progresses. For example, if your character is searching for a murderer, the killer in question works for the Entropy Lord trying to break free of his prison. However, these connections shouldn't be determined beforehand by the GM, but should be explored and discovered through play.
The Mission Pool
: The Incarnates cannot complete the mission until they've resolved their own personal stories. When your character's Motivation is brought into play, you may put one die into the Mission Pool. Increasing the Mission Pool this way allows you to raise one of your stats with one point. The Motivation should play a significant part in the scene and progress the story in a meaningful way.
The GM may add the dice in the Mission Pool on any roll he makes. That way, conflicts will gradually become tougher as players put more dice into the Mission Pool.
Resolving your Motivation
You cannot resolve your Motivation until at least one of your stats is 10 or higher. Until that time, you can only take steps toward fulfillment of your goal. For example, you can confront your brother's murderer, but you can't kill him yet. Only after a stat is raised to 10 the Motivation can be resolved:
- You kill the hated Incarnate.
- You avenge your brother's death.
- Your home planet is save.
- You go over to the dark side.
- You atone for your evil deeds.
After your Motivation is resolved, you may increase all of your stats by 1 point. You don't have to put dice into the Mission Pool. As soon as all PC's have resolved their Motivations, Endgame begins. No changes to the Endgame mechanics yet.
Now for my questions: How do I set up guidelines for defining the mission to keep the GM from "creating the adventure"? What sort of rules do I still need here?
Of course, any other comments about these rules or the PDF are very much appreciated.

Hi Jasper,
Can you
put aside
a motivation to resolve it? Like Liu Kang in the Mortal Kombat movie?

It strikes me that the GM needs to combine the motivations to create the adventure, in some way. (Am I just stating the obvious by saying that?)
Have you seen the way Shadow of Yesterday does it, with Key Scenes? It's bloody brilliant. I think something like that would be good.

Hi Jasper,
What kind of a relation are you considering between your motivation and the stat you want to increase above 10? You could for example determine the stat beforehand or rule that only the stat used in the scene can be increased by putting a die in the missionpool. I would like the second one the most since it actively ties the way you resolve conflicts to the way you resolve your motivation. However it also makes missions considerably longer as it takes longer to increase a stat to 10. I see that this new idea of motivation lengthens missions anyway (especially compared to V0.2) as you have only 18 points for four stats at the start and thus will somewhere around 3 to 5 points to come to 10, so this might not be a problem.
It seems somebody beat me to stating the obvious...
And maybe it's a cool idea to link to the various relevant 'the forge' threads from your cosmic combat site?
Looking forward to playtesting!

Well, it's just a thought, but it seems like you need a way to take up a new motivation before the next adventure.
As far as creating an adventure, it depends on what role you want the GM to have:
GM as bookkeeper: Player collaborate to make an adventrure, GM runs the BBEGs
GM as storyteller: GM designs an Incarnate who is the BBEG and combines his story with those of the players
GM as gawd: GM does everything, players say what their character is doing
I personally feel that the biggest hurdle of your game from a GM perspective is going to be shaking that legion of doom feel. Meaning that if there are three players and one GM, the instinct is going to be to create 3 bad guys that match the descriptions of LoE's in the character's descritption for each character and then come up with some sort of Legion of Doom excuse for them to team up. Motivations will only increase the likelihood that 3 BBEGs will be necesary for each adventure. Of course the players may collude or cooperate during character creation, but that is not guaranteed, even if the rules say it is, lol
Maybe if Motivation (or soe other mechanic) was scaled up to a larger ideal (like serve justice or defend the weak) and each adventure the character declared a smaller goal inside the larger ruling motivation (like defeat Crimunus the chaos lord or defend earth). Then it would be easier for players to make unique characters that, if only temporarily, had common goals to work with each other.
Seems like a neat game, good luck!

Thanks for all the comments!
Can you

a motivation to resolve it? Like Liu Kang in the Mortal Kombat movie?
Yes, definitly! Thanks for pointing that out, this should go into the game text somewhere. (Obviously, the Mortal Kombat movie is where I got the idea for these rules from.)
Have you seen the way Shadow of Yesterday does it, with Key Scenes? It's bloody brilliant. I think something like that would be good.
Do you mean the way players get a reward for playing a Key Scene? I've been thinking about that myself. However, I don't want players to raise a stat after playing a Key Scene, because it could mean they can resolve their character's Motivation without playing towards that. So I'll need a different kind of reward.
And I want to keep GM prep time to a minimum. How long does it take to set up a tSoY adventure?
What kind of a relation are you considering between your motivation and the stat you want to increase above 10?
For now, I'll leave the choice up to the player. So after playing the scene, the player can raise whatever one stat he wants. I'm not sure if I want to tie this choice to the conflicts in the scene, because the way it is now, you can play a scene without any conflicts, and still get to raise a stat if the scene hits your Motivation.
Also, the rules for follow-up conflicts make it much more likely more than one stat is used than in the original version we played, and the rules for conflict hacking mean it alway pays to raise your Wielding Awesome Power stat. So it makes sense to not just focus on one stat, except raising more stats also makes things more difficult for you, because you need to put more dice in the Mission Pool.
That's how I imagine it to play out, anyway. Of course, this needs playtesting.
it seems like you need a way to take up a new motivation before the next adventure.
These new rules allow you to play one mission, one "adventure". If you want to play another mission with the same characters, you have to play a sequel, just like the sequel to a movie. You have to re-create your character from scratch, though, because you can't begin the adventure with the high stats you ended with last time.
The final game will have a section about sequels. (I have a
very long
to-do list.)
Meaning that if there are three players and one GM, the instinct is going to be to create 3 bad guys that match the descriptions of LoE's in the character's descritption for each character and then come up with some sort of Legion of Doom excuse for them to team up.
I'm going to remove the descriptions of Lords of Entropy out of character creation. Playtesting showed it doesn't really add anything to play.
And about creating an enemy for every character: I don't think I mind as much, because it's in line with the genre. (Or more specifically, with the Mortal Kombat movie.)

It was 4 p.m. on a beautiful Saturday afternoon when my doorbell rang unexpectedly. I looked around in a wide-eyed panic buried under a bed of popcorn. The blinds were drawn, and I had neglected to change out of my workout clothes from a 10:30 a.m. Zumba class. Where had the time gone? I peered through my bedroom window, and there stood the rather charming lawn guy. I wasn't going to answer the door, but he saw me looking out.
It was 4 p.m. on a beautiful Saturday afternoon when my doorbell rang unexpectedly. I looked around in a wide-eyed panic buried under a bed of popcorn. The blinds were drawn, and I had neglected to change out of my workout clothes from a 10:30 a.m. Zumba class. Where had the time gone? I peered through my bedroom window, and there stood the rather charming lawn guy. I wasn't going to answer the door, but he saw me looking out.
I answered the door without any makeup or shoes while attempting to pat down the back of my hair that had been pressed against my headboard for hours. I was abrupt when he asked if I was OK. "What are you doing at home on a Saturday?" he asked as he peeked around the corner and saw the computer on the edge of my bed. I was embarrassed. He wanted to tell me about an amazing sushi place in Greensboro, and he had caught me red-handed in the act of a Netflix binge.
This prompted a call for an intervention. Binge watching is a lot like binge drinking (or at least that was the best way I could describe it to my girlfriends). I do it only on the weekends with the intention to have "just one more fix."
Before I know it, hours have passed, and I've had way too much. I ignore phone calls and find myself tweeting with hashtags that don't really make sense to the rest of the world (like #ohnoshedidnt). Once a friend sent me a text message asking, "What in the world are you talking about on Twitter?" I thanked her for helping bring me back to reality. I become caught up and forget that not everyone is watching old episodes of the ABC hit "Scandal" on Netflix.
I also attempt to stay up late into the night trying to finish a series, then fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion and wake up with popcorn stuck to my face. It's like having a TV hangover. But rather than quitting, I wake up, crank up my laptop and finish the next season. Nothing like the hair of the dog that bit you as my saucy uncle used to say.
I have never been much of a TV watcher, and I blame Netflix for my demise (clearly in denial). It started with "Scandal," out of a long-time admiration for "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" writer and producer Shonda Rhimes. As a formerly unemployed script writer, Rhimes is Hollywood's "it" girl. I missed part of the first season of "Scandal" when it aired on ABC, and I tried to take the moral high ground like my urban, intellectual friends.
Long story short, I read critics hating on the "side pieceism" of Kerry Washington's character, Olivia Pope. I gave in partially to see how Rhimes would overcome such strong criticism from her own community. Needless to say, her storytelling skills surpassed the naysayers. "Scandal" turned out to be highly addictive, and Washington became the first African-American to be nominated for best drama actress in the past 18 years.
After bingeing my way through the first season of "Scandal," I needed another Netflix fix. A friend suggested a political drama called "House of Cards." Little did I know, I was on a roll picking Emmy winners. That little Netflix original drama never aired on television, but it was nominated for nine Emmy awards. I couldn't get enough of the story line. It prompted me to watch the British version that aired on BBC in the 1990s, but I didn't make it through a full episode before saying "eh."
So I went on the prowl for another fix and discovered another Netflix original series. "Orange is the New Black" was based on the real-life story "My Year in a Women's Prison" written by a socialite named Piper Kerman. By this time, I was preparing to overindulge on this funny and irreverent series about a socialite turned convicted drug mule (it's a wild story). The story is so dramatic that it's almost unbelievable.
And there I was on a beautiful Saturday afternoon re-watching "Orange is the New Black." I had to re-watch after seeing the film's stars discuss women's prison and gender issues on MSNBC's "Melissa Harris-Perry." I was halfway in when I was suddenly interrupted by a doorbell. As aforementioned, it was the lawn guy, ringing my bell and anxious to tell me that I had to try out this place that had the best sushi.
All I could think about was at that moment how much my eyes hurt. I had binged on so much Netflix on my laptop that I looked like Piper's non-wife "Crazy Eyes." I knew I had a problem right then and there.
It took me a few days to realize that "lawn guy" was extending an invitation. I told my mother my problem, and her solution was simple. She showed up with my first brand new TV as an early birthday surprise because she didn't want me to ruin my eyes. She delivered it nine days early so I could watch season three of "Scandal." I kept it on so long that the screen started humming in the first weekend. I had mom take it back. There is a reason why I've never purchased a television.

Drew Brees tossed three touchdown passes and ran for a score as the New Orleans Saints scored 31 unanswered points and cruised past the Arizona Cardinals, 31-7.
Brees went 29-of-46 passing for 342 yards and an interception. The Saints' signal caller has now surpassed 300 yards passing for the eighth straight regular season game, one shy of his own NFL record of nine consecutive games.
Jimmy Graham caught nine passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns, and Robert Meachem hauled in his first touchdown of the season.
On the other side, Carson Palmer struggled to move the ball consistently for Arizona. Palmer completed just 18-of-35 throws for 187 yards and two interceptions. Alfonso Smith scored the lone Cardinals' touchdown, a three- yard rush in the first quarter.
"They can rush the passer," said Palmer. "There's two very good pass rushers that people don't know a whole lot about. Cameron Jordan is really good and he showed that today. Junior Galette is really good. They're physical guys, they stop the run and they rush the passer."
The Cardinals stay on the road next week when they travel to Tampa Bay to face the winless Buccaneers, while New Orleans gets an extra day of rest before facing Miami at home on Monday Night Football.
Arizona drove right down the field on their first possession to take a 7-0 lead. Smith bounced outside for a 21-yard scamper, the longest rush of the season for the Cards, before taking it in from three yards out.
Later in the first, Brees saw a streaking Meachem down the right sideline and hit him in rhythm for a 27-yard score.
Both offenses stalled until late in the first half when the Saints struck again with a Graham 16-yard touchdown. Brees lofted a ball to the left side of the end zone and Graham easily reeled in the catch after using his big body to create space against Yeremiah Bell, who had single coverage.
Garrett Hartley's 31-yard kick went through the uprights with 4:08 left in the third period, putting New Orleans ahead 17-7.
Early in the fourth, Brees found Graham again on the goal line for an apparent touchdown, but the officials ruled that the ball hit the ground before Graham had possession. On the ensuing play, Brees scrambled up the gut for his first rushing touchdown of 2013.
"That play happened exactly like that in practice this week," said Brees. "It was obviously a critical point in the game because it gave us a three possession distance from the opponent."
Brees and Graham connected for a second time on the home team's next drive to account for the final margin.
"We talked all week about finishing, finishing, finishing," said Brees. "We hadn't been great in the fourth quarter and so today we were successful in that regard. We outscored out opponent 14-0 in the fourth quarter, which was huge."
Following its first quarter touchdown, eight straight Arizona possessions ended with a Dave Zastudil punt before Palmer was intercepted on the final two drives.
Game Notes
Tyrann Mathieu recorded his first career interception early in the third quarter ... Arizona has completed just 6-of-26 third downs going back to last week ... The Saints outgained the Cardinals, 423-247.

A final farewell to slow talk
Yes, the site is still up, despite Internet Brands announcement to us on February 22nd that As of March 1, 2017, Internet Brands will no longer be hosting SlowTalk.. But our future is unsure - they can pull the plug at any time. Since we shared that announcement on our forums, and later updated it, many of our members have taken our advice and joined Slow Europe, owned and hosted by the creator of our site, Pauline Kenny, a similar site, with a similar philosophy..
Because we have no idea when Internet Brands will finally close down these pages, we are suggesting anyone with a new question to ask do so on the Slow Europe site; where there is more activity.
Thanks to you all for making SlowTalk a wonderful travel resource. We are sorry Internet Brands has decided we are not a good fit for their portfolio, and have cancelled our contract. We hope to see you on the SlowEurope site.The Moderators
If you have a question about this post, you may contact us via email.

would get his account suspended, too...
Or (more appropriately) George Orwell.
The reports of my account suspension are greatly exaggerated.
Mark Twain
I've been locked in Google+ for a week now....please send help...running low on air...heeeellllllppppp!
Actually, it's worse... your paid apps are bound to your gmail identity as well.
If they locked an Android owner out of not only his contact list and gmail, but effectively revoked the purchase of every paid Market app without refunding the purchase price, I can see a lawsuit regardless of what their TOS might say. Just ask Capital One how well "universal default" stood up to judicial scrutiny once challenged (that was their practice of instantly jacking up all of your interest rates to the maximum if you had a late payment reported to a credit bureau by ANYONE... even if it was an error, due to somebody else's screw-up, or something like a medical bill that was tied up with a health insurance claim. With Android, at least, Google definitely crossed the line from "free" to "paid service", and there's a limit to how trigger-happy you can be with TOS violations before it becomes fraud.
The trouble is you are debating "being evil" over "doing evil". That is, "Don't Be Evil" rather than "Don't Do Evil" is a distraction - it means that when Google does something that's just fucking obnoxious, people start debating the inner content of their hearts rather than that they're doing something they should damn well stop doing. Excellent piece of derailing, that slogan.
Perhaps we should all cancel our Google+ accounts, stating that we do it because:
1. We strongly disagree with the policy that makes our entire Google account for all services disappear for just breaking Google+ policy
2. (optional) We disagree with the policy that we shouldn't be able to use a pseudonym on Google+
3. We disagree with having to provide an identification or other proof for our names - this should be required only for a kind of a light version of a verified account
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2016649/Google-attempts-cash-Twitter-success-celebrity-acquisition-plan.html is followed by http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2016191/William-Shatner-Google-account-deleted-violating-standards.html. Is Google+ the George takei of the internet?
Making a distinction between intent and action is quite important. Intent (along with historical performance, yes) has relevance to future action. Good Samaritan laws exist because people know there's a difference.
If Google were believed to be evil (malicious in intent), you could expect them not to clean this mess up. I don't think they're evil per se (it's complicated), so I expect they'll at least disentangle Gmail lockouts from Google+ lockouts.
The thing is, past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. Intent is *thought of* as a predictor, and put forward as a predictor, but is not in practice a good one.
"You're pulling unacceptable bullshit, Google, over and over."
"But we're not evil!"
"Really? Oh, that's OK then."
The brochure doesn't matter. Observe the actions and extrapolate back to predictions; ignore the bleatings.
As a G+ problem - I've seen several people report this and almost always it comes down to something like this:
The ToS for Google services have various criteria.
When filling out the G+ profile - it's really your "Google" profile.
People have been putting bullshit information in. This triggers an automatic suspension of the account because what was entered violates the ToS.
Since the G+ profile is really your "Google" profile; it also locks you out of other services.
The most common one I've seen is people bitching after saying they put in a birth date that made them under the required minimum age to enter into an agreement with Google.
I'm quite sure it would be trivial to get your stuff back even if you were a small-time businessman such as myself - stealing of trade secrets, tortious interference of business, etc.
Makes me reconsider if I wish to use it. If Google shut down my G+ account, or Facebook shut down my account or the like I'd lose no sleep over it. I really am not in to social networking and I think it is mostly a silly way for people to waste time at work (I've got better ways to waste time at work, like Slashdot
I signed up because friends invited me. I'll have to think if I want to stay signed up as G+ is just something silly to keep my friends happy, G-mail is something I use a lot and I don't want one to risk the other.
I have to agree. I quit using youtube in a signed in fashion when they insisted I connect with a gmail account, and I seriously dislike the integration of g+ into anything else.
Personally I don't use my gmail for anything significant (I'll run my own server for anything I actually care about, thankyouverymuch), but if I did I'd certainly be very leery about using it in a linked way.
I quit using youtube in a signed in fashion when they insisted I connect with a gmail account
No, you don't need a gmail account for YT, just a google account which can have an alias and any old email. I've never used my google account for anything except to sign into YT and I don't have a gmail account.
Incompetence and hamfistedness. Good reasons for anyone, or for any business, to move to the cloud, huh? No matter how reliable the servers are, you're still subject to someone's interpretation of a TOS, or a court ruling, or just some CEO's opinion of your content and/or data.
I like having all my stuff on my own hard drives, thank you - without any indexing by Google or any other service provider.
I think "hamfistedness" and "incompetence" hits the nail squarely on the head, and this is NOT a new problem, but I'm glad it's being finally aired. When gmail was fairly new I had the email address firstname.lastname@example.com. I only used it for mailing friends and family, and registering for the occasional subscription.
One time when my internet access was down for a while (I'd just moved) I logged in to gmail from work and my password wouldn't work. After several screens of questions, the last one was "has your account been compromised?" I had to scratch my head over this one -- how would I know if the account had been compromised? I answered "no", the next screen informed me that my account was permanently suspended for violation of TOS but I could sign up again under another username.
This had the effect of making me leery of using any Google service at all except search, maps, and news. It gave me ill will towards Google; I'd use Bing if it didn't suck so bad. I've been out of social networking since MySpace and probably wouldn't have signed up for G+ if it weren't for the fact that it's new and "kinda l33t". Also, I was pretty sure the daughter that works at a GameStop would love to be invited.
I have a couple of suggestions for Google. First, that vague suspension notice is maddening. I could guess that someone in the IT dept at work worked a man in the middle attack on me, but Google should spell out exactly what ToS you've violated.
Second, they should give you some recourse if they've suspended you mistakenly. Everyone makes mistakes, and a big outfit like Google is certain to screw up occasionally.
Third and probably most importantly they should treat everyone equally. TFA says some high profile users were able to get their accounts restored, this is just plain wrong. "Don't be evil" my ass. Giving someone preferential treatment is in fact evil. If I can't get my firstname.lastname@example.com addy restored, then a high profile blogger shouldn't, either.
I have to give credit to slashdot. I'd let my mcgrew account go dormant for a few years; I was too busy with my own game site. I'd found K5 and was posting there until an admin named Jongular went to war with me and I came back to slashdot and re-signed as sm62704, having changed email addresses a few times and forgetting my PW; my own fault. Someone suggested that I write email@example.com. After a few emails I got my mcgrew account back. This greatly impressed me! Google should take a clue from
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
You know for all of Facebook's privacy infringement, there is one ace in the sleeve Google+ has over their users that Facebook does not: Gmail.
Come on, snap back to reality. How many tens of millions of people share the same bloody name. How stupid can google be, effectively banning anyone from using google who has the same name as someone else using google. The single greatest benefit of pseudonym usernames is getting past the fact many people share the same name.
Google bans tens of thousands of john smiths, now add these two http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_given_names [wikipedia.org] and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_most_common_sur [wikipedia.org]
Maybe they should change their names to Bobby Tables?
This is not what Google is doing. They allow multiple people with the same name, it's just underage or fraudulent info gets you banned.
I removed all of my "correct, yet questionable" data, eg: Location: Earth, Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy (A suburb of the Virgo Galactic Cluster) -- just in case. Actually, I removed ALL of the optional data about me, except for my name. Way to fail at your core competency Google (that is, getting me to allow them to aggregate my data).
With all the fucking automated badassery that is google, why do they not simply send you a notice or email:
ATTENTION! We are assholes, and thus this is your first and final warning before we lock you out of your account for-fucking-ever!
Please be advised, there is some questionable material that we do not think is correct on your profile (but we really don't know, someone probably just reported you, so we sent you this letter).
If you do not dispute this within 3 days access to your account will be denied, but we'll keep aggegating data about you when you search or use Youtube, etc.
You can Fuck Right off Human Slime,
Google's Faceless Automated Android Systems.
IMHO, this would be much better than what they are currently doing...
Define how getting you to remove completely pointless data from your account is them "failing at their core competency"? If anything your example proves that their rules have just benefited them, and the accuracy of their aggregated data.
Forgive the additional reply, but WRT to "John Smith" being banned -- Well, that's a folk singer's name. Perhaps people are reporting other John Smiths thinking "Hey, this isn't the singer I searched for".
In short, it could just be a bunch of dumbass Google+ users banning people by reporting them, and Google not having a good algo in place that says: 1) Notify before ban w/ dispute resolution option. 2) If many same-name's get reported, look into the cause, perhaps it's a common name and 3) Ban the rep
Any activist who uses Google for anonymity would do well to be banned from Google before his stupidity means he takes other activists down with him.
Actually, Google is attempting to woo celebrities to their platform, such as Lady Gaga.
The irony is that Lady Gaga isn't her actual name.
That would be fine except that some have apparently either broken a rule without knowing it and can't find out what it was, they have no way to get re-instated even where it is reasonably clear that the violation was unintentional and won't be repeated, and they lose other services they have been using without incident for some time as well.
There is also room for interpretation as to what exactly is a pseudonym. In many cases of a famous nickname, using one's actual legal name would be an obfuscation of identity. Many have used a nickname for so long that it's the one they have internally connected to self and the legal name seems like someone else.
Lets not forget that Facebook has been deactivating user accounts on the suspicion that they're using an alias for many years, they have a small dictionary of banned names to do this automatically. Have a unique first name like "Husky Smithson"? Too bad.
Only difference is Facebook accounts are not also used for email and other essential services.
Only difference is Facebook accounts are not also used for email and other essential services.
And this is the important thing. I couldn't care less if Facebook banned me (no seriously, I use it to chat to one friend in another city who I could just text message or ring), but getting banned from my entire Google account is a serious issue. I heard about people having their Google accounts banned for Google+ ToS violations right when it first come out which is why I haven't signed up.
I have already experienced losing a 10+ year old email account on Yahoo (who inexplicitly reset a whole bunch of Austra
Getting all your services from one company sure is convenient until you have problems with one part of their service but not the other.
Like getting you Internet shut off because you are in dispute with the cell phone devision. We don't learn shit from history.
"Unlike with a utility such as the phone/internet company, it is trivial to create separate Google accounts,"
Not in California. Edison and Sempra LOVE to charge you for addresses you haven't lived in for MONTHS even after you change service to a new address.
Kobnyc in TFA comments:
"The article refers to deletions "en masse" and "striking number" and "dam had burst" etc but nowhere provides any hard or soft numbers to go with these clearly inflammatory adjectives."
I, too, want some numbers.
Of course, Google aren't releasing numbers. However, Skud is gathering data at the suspended accounts list [google.com].

how bout ? maybe e if you're feeling frisky.
The worst part for these individuals is that a lock-out of Google+ includes being locked out of all Google services, including email, calendar, and documents.
Which is why it's always important avoid concentrating your services in just one provider.
Which is why it's always important avoid concentrating your services in just one provider.
Or, to ensure that you have a solid backup regime that pulls down your data and spreads the risk around. I pop all my gmail, compress it and store it both locally and with a cloud backup provider. Same goes for my contacts and calendar entries. This article motivated me to double check that everything was working as I expected, however.
It would certainly be inconvenient if I was locked out of my email account, but downright tragic to lose my address book. It's one of those things that is hard to value u
Or, you go ahead and abide by the ToS.
See my previous post - but the first time I saw this happen was someone lied about their age - and it was below the required age for G+.
A G+ profile is a Google profile. If you put in false information that violates the ToS - the account will get shut off.
It's really kinda f*cking simple. Kids lie and say they're 21 and they have a G+ account. Some moron says he's 12 and he's *shocked*, yes *SHOCKED* his account was automatically disabled because he was too young. True
It depends on what the odds of the services suddenly becoming unavailable are, and how important those services are to you. Does the convenience of using a single provider that works fine for millions of people with extremely high uptime outweigh an apparently tiny chance of having those services suddenly disabled? For most people, yup. To use a similar example, most people don't have their own generators, even though they rely on a single power company.
You had said it's "always important," when it's really
Yep, this guarantees any Google+ account I get in the future will be the only Google service on that account.

The mass of all the eggs in the world in one basket causes the eggs at the bottom to break, the ones above fall into place and crack too; The eggs quickly begin accelerating towards the bottom of the basket where the speed of their collisions allows the density to surpass the gravity well tipping point, and a new black-hole is born, it quickly gobbles up a chunk of the Earth before vanishing in a burst of Gama rays that extinguishes all life on the planet.

Indeed. Let's have it.
I wonder how g+ can know if a name is real or not. I mean, it is obious that "lady ada" is a pseudonym, but what if someone was called bya peculiar and also strange name? how would g+ handle that?
I think google is too afraid that its social network will be used for nefarious purposes. I think Google worries too much: possibly evil people will register with a name as realisitc as possible, but it will not be their real name, while many legitimate users that go by their pseuodyms will suffer.
G+ also does not let you login from the same ip address twice, from what I see so far. How can this work for families with many members but only one computef? or machines shared by different people in different shifts in a business setting?
It doesn't handle it. A friend of mine's name is Flash Jones.
That's her name, her birth name, the name she prefers, and it's been her name for thirty seven years.
She's lost her Google account, her Facebook account, and had requests to use a 'real' name by multiple employers and banks through her life - some of whom attempt to force the use of her more regular middle name in place of her first.
Google however, is in the business of knowing about us, and the information you have on what we prefer to be known a

We have more than one computer, but my wife and I both share the main PC. We're both logged into Google+, at the same time, on the same computer...but using different Windows profiles. No problems at all.
I read the article and the biggest and most fearful thing that many people who were affected by this was that all of their Google services, including Gmail were affected and disabled.
I only use Gmail for e-mail functionality because it is free and convenient and it is my primary e-mail address that has stayed universal through ISP changes and moves. I was quite well aware of Google's privacy policy and advertisement angle along with the fact that all of them will be available forever to Google, before I signed up to Gmail and have been weary every since. The offer of convenient, free, reliable, spam-free, managed by someone else, and universally accepted Gmail account had a lot of benefits since I didn't have to buy my own domain, maintain my own e-mail server, and deal with spam filtering
I still haven't been burned by Gmail but I'm now wondering that since Google has become such a large entity it is surely going to suffer the fate of a behemoth afflicted by blind bureaucracy and the e-mails that they have forever will somehow get out to agencies, companies, or people who I don't want them to see.
I'm going to seriously look into the technical and logical feasibility of install a mail server on my Linux box in my house which is going to require that I manage my own services and spam filtering along with dealing with the hoops of trying to run a mail server behind an ISP with my own domain name.
I'm going to seriously look into the technical and logical feasibility of install a mail server on my Linux box in my house which is going to require that I manage my own services and spam filtering along with dealing with the hoops of trying to run a mail server behind an ISP with my own domain name.
It is very feasible to run own services.
I came to this conclusion about 10 years ago, and now manage my own mail. (Actually I am responsible for all my own data) Without getting into "which MTA is better" war, as a complete newbie I accidentally stumbled upon qmail and tried installing it. http://www.lifewithqmail.org/
I haven't lost a mail, and I have learnt quite a bit about how networks operate by maintaining my own services.
It probably seems like overkill to run a system that could handle 1000's of accou
I've been running my own mail server for a few domains since 1998. At that time I managed mail servers a living (working for a small local hosting provider), so running one more was no big deal. I do have a Gmail address and use it mainly on my Nexus S for syncing contacts and calendars. This just to say that I don't have a problem with Google.
I do prefer to manage my mails on my own, though, mainly for reasons of control. Privacy is only one aspect, since whenever you write a mail, your recipient could be
mods before you mark this a troll, please consider my point carefully as it has validity.
the people in question would not have ToS violations for their names if they had put their real names in the "real name" fields and their nickname/alias in the "nickname" field.
Kirrily "Skud" Robert is not his real name. Kirrily Robert is his real name and Skud is his nickname.
Limor Fried "Ladyada" is not a real name but Limor Fried is.
While heavy-handed and without warning, these users did actually violate
ToS violation over minor things is so widespread and routine on the Net that it would be more surprising to find someone who had never done so. The heavy-handed reaction to it, however, seems to be quite unique to G+ so far.
Though I don't have G+ or Adsense etc, after reading this, Google Deletes Last 7 Years Of User's Digital Life (http://consumerist.com/2011/07/google-deletes-last-7-years-of-users-digital-life-shrugs.html), I've started taking gmail, gdocs backups.

Trading modest convenience for the a greatly increased risk of service disruption.
Of course, while you're all worried about that, no-one is talking about the modest convenience of Google+ being able to hide your drunken weekend party photos from your boss being traded for the risk that the Big G gets to know everything about you and track your current whereabouts via your phone.
I won't be getting a Google+ account. I don't care whether this is doing evil or sheer incompetence (I'm betting on the latter), but to lose access to all Google-related services especially Gmail, is complete and utter BS. The fact that a company the size of Google can get by without any sort of customer service is beyond me.
You get up tomorrow and log into GMail. You can't get in. Your account is locked. Your mail, calendar, documents — all gone. What do you do now?
Remember that Google has no customer service, even for paying customers. If your account is locked for any reason, spurious or not, you're utterly fucked [twitlonger.com].
I keep a regular backup of my GMail. The official interface is IMAP, but GMail's IMAP implementation is really flaky (e.g. Thunderbird or mail.app won't suck everything down). The way to do this that actually works is with OfflineIMAP [offlineimap.org]. It's command-line and geeky, but by crikey it works.
Using it on Ubuntu or Debian is absurdly simple:
This will create a folder with all your mail in it, in mbox format (readable plain text). You will have duplicate messages in different folders. I'm just doing this to get an archive, so zipped the result.
GMail's IMAP interface is subtly broken, to the point where it can crash offlineimap. Just start it running again, repeat as often as necessary. (If you like, get a more current version [github.com].)
GMail is still the best email interface I've ever used, and I wish Thunderbird would just get the hint and clone it to the last detail. But this way I also have all my stuff myself, just because I can.
I haven't tried this on a Mac or Windows. Could someone do this and write up instructions?
For other Google services, you can get your data from Google Takeout [dataliberation.org]. While your account's not locked.
A friend of mine had some twat post a blog on Google's Blogger, using their name and photo, impersonating them, claiming that they are the "number one pedophile rights activist" and other such things in that vein. He has been hounded by social services and questioned about it by his son's school (a picture of his son also features on the blog). If you Google his name, that blog is the first result.
This friend has now spent over a year trying to get Google to remove this blog. Despite being a clear victim of vindictive impersonation, and despite him REPEATEDLY faxing in copies of his driver's license and such as per Google's impersonation policy, it's still up there. And as previously noted, it has affected his wife and kid before, to the point of nearly getting his son taken away. And Google won't do anything.
Funny how when they're trying to launch a whole new social network, they suddenly spring into action.
Sigmund Freud is alleged to have said that in the last analysis the entire field of psychology may reduce to biological electrochemistry.

Discussion in 'Walt Disney World and Disney Springs' started by Isafari, Aug 4, 2010.
Which attraction at Walt Disney World makes you most feel like a kid again?
Hmmmm... Pirates maybe? Or Splash Mountain! Or maybe the Pangani Forest Trail???
ooohhh difficult one..........
waving at Mickey!
Oooooh me too
OMG this is a hard one to choose.
I feel like a kid on all the rides
I dont think theres one particular thing that makes me feel like a kid again at the parks? But, the first morning i wake up in Orlando im sooooo excited - does that count?!
for me it is the parades and shows like fantasmic etc
I would have to say Dumbo!
..and watching the parades..and being in awe of the fireworks..oh and standing in line for a picture with a character..
..hmmm I guess it all makes me feel like a kid
Hmmm...interesting...I never went as a kid, so I'm hard pressed to think of one that "makes me feel like a kid again" but I think I'd probably say Dumbo. Or maybe the Tea Cups, since adults seem to build up some weird sort of "low tolerance" for them
me too. Waving to the characters without a care in the world.
And I'll be doing it again soon 11 days and counting
14 days for me

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A man has lost two legs after falling into a tire shredder while at work at a Kansas City tire recycling center.
Kansas City Fire Department spokesman James Garrett says co-workers already had pulled the man from the machine when firefighters and ambulance crews arrived around 10:30 a.m.
Garrett says the victim was helping perform maintenance on the machine at ABC Tire Recycling near downtown Kansas City when he got caught in it.
The man, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital. Garrett says he didn't know the condition of the man mid-afternoon.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident.

An old Woody Allen punchline that came up in conversation just now. It's from the movie "Annie Hall." The actress is Carol Kane.
Whatever happened to Carol Kane? She had such interesting feminine beauty. I can't think of any actresses today who have the her style of beauty. Is it because they've all been surgically altered? I resist movies these days, in part because the actresses all look alike. Presumably, the look is beautiful, but it doesn't read as beautiful anymore, because they all look alike. This was all predicted in the "Twilight Zone" episode "Number 12 Looks Just Like You."
I know. It's not a day for talking about feminine beauty. It's a day for masculine beauty. It's Super Bowl Sunday, and here in Wisconsin "Number 12" is Aaron Rodgers, who is interestingly beautiful in an individualistic way. Which reminds me, despite my (and Meade's) resistance to watching movies, we did watch a movie last night: "Moneyball." It features the masculine beauty of Brad Pitt, who has to hide is splendor a bit in baggy pants, greasy hair, and constant munching of food, so he'll seem as though he belongs in the shabby office space and locker rooms of the Oakland Athletics baseball team (and not in the spiffy digs of the Boston Red Sox). Everyone else in the movie is pretty awful looking. He's bookended throughout by the Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman, who seem to be in a competition over who most embodies the word "tubby." There's scarcely a woman anywhere in the movie, though there is at least one scene with the Robin Wright, who is beautiful in that boring way and who was once in a movie with Carol Kane.

FITCHBURG -- A Fitchburg man allegedly connected with a 14-year-old girl through Facebook and attempted to meet her to "possibly perform sexual acts," according to court documents.
Pablo Santiago, 29, of 228 Daniels St., is charged with enticing a child under 16.
According to a police report included with court documents, Officer Michael R. Chandler, a school-resource officer serving Longsjo and Memorial middle schools, was informed of the online relationship between Santiago and the girl after some of her friends shared their concerns with a school guidance counselor.
According to the report, the girl told Chandler that she had been in contact with Santiago online for about two to three months and the only time she'd ever seen him in person was one occasion in which "he drove by the house and had told her to look outside at him." Chandler stated in the report that the girl did not seem to see an issue with trying to have a relationship with an older married man.
Santiago denied knowing or having any contact with the girl, but Facebook messages obtained from the girl's account showed otherwise. A list of correspondences showed he allegedly told her she was sexy, asked if he could see her at her school or pick her up at her house or bus stop and if she would "get sexy" for him. The two also allegedly talked about how much they "loved" each other.
Santiago was released on personal recognizance and ordered to stay away from and have no contact with the alleged victim. He is also not allowed to have any unsupervised contact with any child under the age of 16.
Fitchburg man gets prison in coke case
FITCHBURG -- A Fitchburg man was sentenced to two and a half years in the Worcester House of Corrections after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to distribute, according to court documents.
Alexis Toro, 28, of 276 Fairmount St., also pleaded guilty to possession of a Class D drug, a state highway signal/sign/markings violation, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. The possession of a Class B drug with intent to distribute charge was amended from cocaine trafficking, and a possession of a Class B substance (subsequent charge) was dismissed.
On Jan. 14, Toro was stopped by State Police after nearly crashing into a cruiser and found to be in possession of about 54 grams of cocaine, about 6 grams of crack cocaine and an unspecified amount of marijuana, according to a police report.
