Mal always uses the good neighbor hotels. I can't recall her whole screen name (there is an 8 in it) at the moment but you could PM her and ask. She and her family are also very familiar with Service dogs and DL, as her daughter trains them.

Thank you, yes I knew there was a number in her screen name. They go for 2 weeks or so at Christmas and always ship their stuff ahead. They also never stay on property as they have their regular hotels they enjoy for better rates.
Regarding decorating without a tree, we have a growing collection of Christmas CDs that we play (and download for travel) starting right after Thanksgiving. That way, whether we have visual decorations or not, we have plenty of musical atmosphere. Some hotels (Hilton and Marriott come to mind) provide MP3 player docks in the alarm clock, but we bring our own travel dock as well so we can enjoy our favorite holiday music in the hotel room, too. Hot cocoa and Christmas music in the room while watching fireworks is so fun!
Oh, and food! Since I have food restrictions, we bring some of our favorite holiday food treats, too. If the hotel room has a refrigerator, storage is easy. And it cuts down on the temptation to eat too many DLR goodies, which can be a problem for my tummy. At home, we start celebrating with holiday food items (e.g. stollen, cookies, etc.) so that the tastes and smells decorate the house, even without a tree.
I like the idea of doing some minimal decorating at home before we leave and keeping that up through the first of the year. That way it still feels like Christmas without being overwhelming.
I woke up this morning with an overwhelming urge to PLAN. At this point, there's really not much to do other than work with the planning binder. SO.....I did some tweeking and rearranging. I created a few new pages. Later today I'll go to Staples to punch holes into the new sheets so they can be added to my special red book.
I love to show up at DLR without a care in the world. As such, I make sure to have as much as possible paid for before we arrive. The car, the room (when possible), food, tickets, and any other tiny piece of the trip all paid for and waiting for us to enjoy.
In previous years I prepaid meals by just getting Disney gift cards. I may still do that, but think I'll go a step further and pre-purchase character dining meals through Getaway Today.
I've also pulled together a list of restaurants for the LA portion of our trip (thanks to the wonderful people following this report). We sifted through based on what we like to eat that's in our price range. I compared the restaurants we chose with Restaurant.com, but was unable to find any good coupons there. I'll do a bit more digging to see if there are any coupons out there.
That's it for now! I hope you are all having a great weekend!
Once you have your restaurant list down (and some back-up choices, just in case), let us know so we can keep a lookout for any discount codes or coupons that come out before your visit. Will you be needing groceries for your time at DLR? There was a recent thread about pre-ordering from Vons online and having the things delivered to your hotel (and some hotels will put your food items in your room before you arrive).
We're big fans of Von's delivery, and have used it on many trips. We'll be continuing that this time as well. Since I'm very sensitive to random junk in tap water, we order a few cases of water, healthy snacks, and stuff to make lunches.
Here's a list of the restaurants we might try:
BLD on Beverly
7450 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles
(323) 930-9744
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
$15 20/person
Pizzeria Mozza
641 North Highland Ave, Los Angeles
(323) 297-0101
Lunch and Dinner
Mendocino Farms
300 South Grand Ave, Los Angeles
(213) 620.1114
Lunch Only
Little Osaka (Sushi)
Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles
Dinner Only (6PM - 10PM)
Kiyokawa in Beverly Hills
265 S Robertson Blvd., Beverly Hills
(310) 358-1900
Lunch and Dinner
1751 Ensley Ave., Los Angeles
(310) 552-1080
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Cafe Surfas
8777 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City
The per person price I have listed are based on what we usually eat. Obviously we won't use all of them. We'll likely make reservations for Thursday and Friday night and then choose choose from this list for lunch based on where we are at around noon. If you know of ANY coupons for these places, please let me know!
Continuing on the ever-popular topic of food, we'll also be signing up for Mimi's coupons a couple of weeks before the trip. We have new email addresses (changed companies), so we'll get that great BOGO coupon! Since there are a few of us, this will help tremendously.
Speaking of the number of people on the trip, here's the new status. DMOM just bought her plane tickets - she decided to stay for the entire DLR portion of our trip! I'm excited to show her all of the little special places in the parks, and to see if I can talk her into riding TOT.
We still don't know anything about DSIS and DBIL. They won't know for a couple of months.
Your estimates on price per person seem a bit low. Have you been able to check online menus for your chosen places? You might be able to meet those prices if you share and don't eat a lot. For example, for lunch at Pizzeria Mozza, we usually end up around $20 - $30/person (for a pizza each, dinner plate sized, and a beverage, and sharing a dessert). Clementine is closer to $20/person for lunch (sandwich, drink, dessert -- although they do have a combo special every day with 1/2 sandwich, cup of soup or salad, and a cookie). I'd budget higher, then, if you can manage with less, you'll have more in the kitty after your trip. I'm pretty sure that Kiyokawa cannot be done for $15/person, but I would call the restaurant to see what they say. Also, just to clarify, Little Osaka is an area (Sawtelle, around and south of Olympic) in West L.A., not a specific restaurant. There are many restaurants in that area, so you'll have lots to choose from. L.A. has many food choices, but, sadly, can be pretty expensive. And we'll definitely keep you in mind if we get any coupons closer to December. I hope this info is helpful, not depressing. But I would hate for you to have to blow your budget on food by accident.
Thanks for the tip! I did look at the menus and budgeted from there. I'll certainly change Pizzeria to a higher price-point because I assumed we'd share a pizza. I generally budget higher than I have listed there just in case. I'll do that for these restaurants as well so I don't end up having to scrimp at Disney!
Yes, I ship every year to our hotel. I know it will take UPS 2 days to deliver to Anaheim, and just plan it out. I usually address it as below:
Guest - Malcon10t Arrival 12/22/12
Name of Hotel
Hotel Address
Anaheim, CA 92802
As for the fireworks, you know your dog best. They are perfectly happy to nap in the crate if you want to do fireworks, and it bothers them.
We usually schedule the room housekeeping. We have housekeepers at Residence Inn who aren't bothered by the dogs, and they don't have a problem coming in while we are out. If I don't know who the housekeeper is, I will request they come while we are in the room. Just put the "Do not disturb" sign up, then when you return, call housekeeping and ask for service.
We will also leave the television on for white noise in the room for the pups.

Planning 3 trips at once...
Thanks, Mal!
When I thought of shipping, I orginally thought USPS. It makes much more sense to go with UPS. I'll give that a shot!
The last 2 trips we were lucky enough to stay at GCH (comp'd rooms). They were FANTASTIC about the few times the dog had to stay behind. I am a little concerned by going to a new hotel, but I know my SD is very quiet and peaceful hanging out in the crate if necessary. Hopefully the Carousel housekeeping staff is as accomodating as GCH.
Funny story about our last stay....
It was a LONG trip - 10 days. We were volunteering for a homeschool conference, so much of that time was at the hotel, but it was nevertheless much more activity than my little guy was used to. On the last day we went back to the room to nap (crash is more like it). When we woke up to go to the parks, he just wouldn't budge. I figured he deserved a break! He did finally go into the crate and we left, but not before putting the do not disturb sign up. As luck would have it, the housekeeper didn't pay attention to the sign.
She came in and cleaned even though we had the sign on the door. When we came back to the hotel, someone from the front desk caught up with us - apologizing profusely for going into the room with the dog (at that point we had no idea). He said that the housekeeper was new and was a dog lover. She gave the dog a treat of a little piece of cheese. The desk clerk was worried because she fed him something without talking to me first and because she didn't adhere to the do not disturb sign.
It all turned out fine. He LOVES cheese, and isn't really bothered by people coming and going. I was just so surprised they made a big deal out of it! I guess it's not a good idea to feed dogs you don't know, and you really SHOULD pay attention to door signs, but life goes on...
I have a slightly different spin on this. She opened the crate to feed the dog. Let's say the door was how it is when most housekeepers clean, open, and when the crate was opened, the dog, maybe nervous around strangers or just adventurous, bolts from the room?
What if the dog had allergies with milk? (We had a GSD when I was growing up who had MAJOR allergies, was very weird, but happened.)
I understand the hotel's response, and while it appeared to have had no effect, there could have been major issues had the situation been different. I am glad they retrained her.
Planning 3 trips at once...
I think if we'd been in the "real" world, or if my dog had a reaction, I would have been VERY angry. When the manager talked to me, the conversation included what he said to the housekeeper and how they plan to train other staff. I think their reaction with their staff was appropriate, so I was satisfied. It's the teacher in me - education before anger.
As for the crate like this: http://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Life-S...4681570&sr=8-1, so she didn't have to open the door. THAT would have really upset me. If the door is open, he looks for me, which could have been disasterous.
I never thought to buy a travel crate. We're good for now with the one we have, but I'll have to switch to something like yours after my DD moves out. I can't carry the one we have.
Another question for you, Mal.....
My SD has been on a plane 4 times now, and still struggles with take-off and landing. It really stresses him out and seems to be the hardest part of the trip for him. Do you have any pointers for making it easier? I was thinking of a peanut butter bone (his favorite and he almost never gets one because of the calories), but I'm worried about somone having a peanut allergy on the plane.
Here is a list of price estimates for your restaurant choices (taken from EAT: Los Angeles 2012):
$ $11 and under (Per Entree)
$$ $12 - $17
$$$ $18 - $25
$$$$ $26 - $34
Pizzeria Mozza $$ - $$$
Mendocino Farms $
Kiyokawa (from Yelp.com) $$$$ (= $60 and up/person) (Remember, in L.A., a good quality, traditional sushi meal at the sushi bar for under $80 - $100/person, is a good deal)
Clementine $$ - $$$
Cafe Surfas $ - $$
Does your budget/person include tax (8.75% L.A. & 7.75% Anaheim) and tip (15% - 20% on average)? One of the things we love about OR (especially Portland) is not having to add on tax when we eat out. Don't know how familiar you are with the restaurant scene in Portland, but we've found that prices at nicer, foodier restaurants there are about 1/3 what they are at comparable places in L.A.
As for sushi, here are some affordable suggestions (if the websites don't work, you can get more basic info on Yelp.com):
In Little Osaka:
Kiriko (www.kirikosushi.com) -- call to check the prices on their lunch specials.
Hide Sushi (www.hidesushi.com) -- cash only, which helps keep the cost down
Nijiya Market and Marukai Market are Japanese supermarkets where you can get sushi to go.
And in Orange County:
Makino Seafood Buffet (www.makinobuffet.com) -- this location of the well known Las Vegas restaurants just opened in Irvine (not too far from DLR -- it's right by John Wayne Airport/SNA). These prices are very reasonable, and I've heard that this is a good place, but not in the same league with the other restaurants listed.
Kongs can hold any number of things, PB doesn't HAVE to be one of them. Spray cheese is good. Mustard is also good. (No clue why they like mustard, but whatever floats their boat!) Our pups favorite, that they only get when *I* am in a good mood is braunschweiger. Smear a little of that inside a kong or a sterilized bone, and they will knock themselves out for a good amount of time.
Depending on what he is like, one issue may be the lack of stability (depending on where you are seated). While the "bulk head" seating is great for leg room, and where airlines THINK you would be most comfortable, I can see where a dog would hate it and be nervous. Our dogs tend to prefer smaller, enclosed areas, and we have even backed a 65lb lab under the seat of a puddle jumper. When the plane takes off, and the nose goes up on the plane, there is a lot of "instability" where the pup is lying. They can get nervous because they don't know of they are going to slide, fall, slip, etc... At least under the seat, they are enclosed and have less of a "slip sliding away" feeling.
Just one note, that you already probably know, but don't play into his fear. No "Ohhh its ok, don't be afraid", etc.... Prepare the area when you board, put him where he should be, and make him aware, as the pack leader, you are saying all is fine, and nothing is wrong. Give him his bone just as the plane is taxiing or preparing for landing (I would have 2 bones.) And sit back and relax. Emotions travel the leash.
Planning 3 trips at once...
Thanks for the clarification and extra suggestions. DD and I will go through this and make some choices this week. We may just save sushi for our local hangout
I think you're right about the bulkhead. That was our only option on JetBlue. It was a very chaotic and distracting place during loading, and was a cold metal floor instead of carpet. We put a blanket down, but I think it might have felt like the vet's office to him! (the floor was very similar)
This time we're flying Horizon and will be in row 3. It's a seat with extended leg room, but will have a more confined space than the bulkhead. The instability makes sense as well. When he was in training, things like elevators took him a long time to learn. He's fine now, but this is like a giant elevator with a much sharper rise and drop. Only makes sense it'd take more time than solid ground.
I hadn't thought of mustard! We'll try that at home to see how it goes. Spray cheese would be like 'doggie drugs' - he's a HUGE cheese fan! The only thing he likes better is peanut butter.
Thanks for the reminder about emotions traveling down the leash. I know this - I think I just got nervous that he'd disturb the other passengers. Especially since one of his jobs is to tell me when I'm getting sick, he's very tuned in to my well-being. Hopefully having a 6:30AM flight will make me too tired to be too nervous
Thanks for the treat suggestions. There are some I hadn't heard of and we have plenty of time to test them out. As always, your insight is great! It's nice to trade ideas with another SD handler.
Probably totally impractical, but what about a seat belt harness? I don't know that the airline would allow it, or it would be a behavior he would be comfortable with. I just know my mom's dog (not a service dog) doesn't like car rides without her seatbelt being on. My mom has a convertible and didn't want her jumping out at stop lights etc, so she wore a harness from the get-go.
Regarding holiday atmoshere, if Candlelight Processional is scheduled for the weekend of your trip (usually it's the first weekend in December, but this year Dec. starts on a Saturday, so CP might be the 1st and 2nd or the 8th and 9th), you might really enjoy it. That is something special that really puts us in the Christmas mood. And the tree and castle lighting will be going on during your trip -- that is fun to see.
Regarding sushi, I've heard that the lunch special at Kiriko is under $20/person and that it is a good meal. Dinner will be much more expensive, but that lunch special sounds like a great deal.
Hope the planning is continuing to go well!
Candlelight Processional is free! There have been dining packages and reserved seating packages (e.g. D23, etc.) in the past, but there is no extra charge just to view from Town Square. There is a HAC viewing area, but I'm not sure about your ECV and SD -- Mal would know about that, too.

A local authority in Lancashire is set to generate its own cheap electricity via new solar panels.
Halton Borough Council has started the search for a company that can fit photovoltaic panels to a number of its buildings, the Construction Index reports.
The council wants the first phase of panel installations to be complete by the end of March 2012 and is looking for a contractor to maintain the devices for 25 years.
Meanwhile, energy supplier British Gas has teamed up with the National Housing Federation to launch a 'rent-a-roof' offer for solar panel installations.
The scheme allows housing associations to reduce tenants' energy bills by at least £100 and cut carbon emissions by renting the panels from British Gas.
The energy company then fits the panels at its own cost and maintains them for 25 years.
It offers associations a share of the resulting feed-in tariff, which will come to at least £30 per property per year.
Switching to a green energy tariff can slash your CO2 footprint by two tonnes and also save you £100s a year! Click here to compare green energy tariffs.
Save up to £300 on your gas & electricity bills at energyhelpline.com
Compare prices from all energy suppliers to find your best deal

As you may or may not know, I have been a long-time Polynesian dancer. I didn't say I was a GOOD dancer, but it's been a hobby of mine since the summer before I started high school. Throughout my early adolescent years, I was in the Polynesian Club in school and even finished high school as its co-president, weird. There's just something beautiful about the movement, the meaning behind the dances, and the culture it represents.
In addition to the club, a few of my closest friends and I were a part of a small, family-owned and operated performance group, Pacific Island Dancers (PID), where we would dance at people's parties, weddings, showers, and family events. Every summer I still come back to do shows with them. On a busy weekend we can get up to 3 shows! PID is such an amazing family and that's been a reason why I love to dance so much. It's good because it's great way for me to relax and de-stress…and I don't exercise so much.
After high school and throughout college I joined the group "Varua Hae" based in Buena Park. Melinda and I danced with them for a couple of years. It was actually on the carpool rides with Martin to and from this particular dance group that we started talking. Martin used to carpool with another friend, and if it wasn't for this good 'ol friend moving and not being able to carpool anymore, Martin and I wouldn't have gotten so close. (Thanks John Lee!) That's really where our relationship grew. However, after my sophomore year of college, I slowly started to get busy with school, work, church, and other activities to the point where I just couldn't fully commit to the group.
Anyway, throughout these last few years, Varua Hae, (now Te Varua Ori) always had a special place in my heart. When we found out that they were going to compete in Tahiti this summer, we just had to come along for the ride. After all, Martin and I do owe a lot to the group :]
So after months of planning the time's almost here. We're leaving this weekend!
And I'm so excited I can't contain myself.
Here's a lovely video to give you a picture of what we will be doing next week:

[EDIT 4/1/13] Update: Mountain Lion (10.8) seems to have deprecated/broken many Automator actions and functionalities. I have submitted bug reports to Apple, but we haven't seen any updates since. At this time, the workflow will only work with Leopard 10.5, Snow Leopard 10.6 or Lion 10.7.
[EDIT 1/11/12] Update: Receiving scattered reports of errors for some users across all operating systems. Worked closely with some users, but I must admit I'm no master software guru, so I try my best to help others get their machines up and running, however I cannot offer 100% support for your setup. So- some of you may have to be a tinkerer, depending on your own personal situation.
August 16, 2009: In the early stages of planning for my sister Helen's wedding, we saw advertisements for real photo booth rentals–like the ones you see in the arcade! We liked the idea a lot, but didn't want to spend the money (and why pay someone else for equipment you can use only for 1 day?)
We decided that we would use our Macs, Automator, and some brainpower to create our own, personalized photo booth that would function exactly how we want it to, cost little to operate, and be available for future special occasions!
I wrote an automator workflow that:
1. Prompted the user for their name (which was inserted in the filenames of the images)
2. took the user's picture 3 times
3. arranged the photos vertically in a strip
4. displayed the photo strip to the user
5. printed the photo strip
6. saved both the individual images and photostrip pdf file in a folder on the mac

I'm going to have some time free soon to do some upgrading of the site. It's not going to be on the scale of last year's upgrade, given that we've already added the store this year and, well, I'm time-poor. I have a bunch of things on my list already to fix, and a few ideas of little things I can add.
Is there anything glaring that anybody thinks needs doing? Or any features that would help people? I cannot promise to do everything (or please everyone), but the feedback really helps and I will definitely discuss things and take things into account for the future.
Hit me!

Pete Spratt vs. Nathan Gunn fight video: HDNet Fights Video Vault
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Nov 30, 2009 at 3:00 pm ET
The undercard bout took place in early October and pitted the veteran Spratt (19-13 at the time) against Gunn (7-0), the undefeated prospect who hoped to claim the first signature victory of his young career.
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight from the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts, slick submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm for this weekly feature. And Spratt vs. Gunn is no exception.
Spratt, who will soon enter his 11th year of professional competition, went 2-2 in his first two UFC stints and returned for a third in 2006 after appearing on a special "comeback" fourth season of "The Ultimate Fighter." Although he defeated fellow cast member Jeremy Jackson in an undercard bout at the show's live finale, Spratt subsequently suffered submission losses to Marcus Davis and Tamdan McCrory and was cut from the organization. It was part of a disappointing 3-6 stretch, and Spratt hoped to pick up a second straight win to the skid behind him.
Standing in his way was Gunn, a two-year pro who had breezed through competition while fighting for organizations such as Raw Combat and King of the Cage. Spratt represented the Canadian's most experienced and notable opponent to date.
Spratt vs. Gunn was part of MFC 22, which took place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and featured an assortment of UFC castoffs, Canadian fighters and other notables.
So, would Spratt or Gunn reign supreme? Check out the embedded clip for the answer.
And don't forget to tune into Friday's latest MFC event. "HDNet Fights Presents: MFC 23 Unstoppable" features Dean Lister vs Thales Leites and airs live Friday 10 p.m. ET.
Each week MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) and HDNet Fights (www.hdnetfights.com) team up for "HDNet Fights Vault," which offer a new and unique video from the organization's ever-growing fight library. The weekly feature is a continuation of a long-standing partnership between MMA3junkie.com and HDNet.

NB: Not all modules will be available every year.
What I also love about London is the feeling of being in the midst of global current affairs - we are of course down the road from the Houses of Parliament where national and gloabl politics are discussed and decisions made. King's definitely fits into this environment, and has an active student body with many societies and clubs ranging from charity fundraising to Model United Nations and volunteering.
I was given the opportunity to spend a term at a partner university in the US - an experience I wouldn't want to miss. And being in London means that whatever you cannot find on campus will definitely be catered for outside.

A Seasonal Share of Local Theatre
"A tried and true practice that has sustained many farms and the communities they serve is being creatively applied to a respected regional theatre," writes Sandy Long in this week's River Reporter.
CSArts is a novel take on the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) concept practiced by many local farms, and it came to life through NACL Theatre co-founder and artistic director Kowalchuk, who also helps her husband Greg Swartz run Willow Wisp Organic Farm in Damascus, PA (a Shop Local Save Land Provider).
Adds Long in her River Reporter article: "NACL is bringing its homegrown product to the localvore movement through CSArts, based on the model of a farm CSA. A person or family would buy a share in the theatre at the beginning of the season and, as an invested member, reap the benefit of local arts produce."
CSArts is the brainchild of NACL associate artist Brett Keyser and became a reality with the help of Sue Currier, Executive Director of the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, a land trust serving the Upper Delaware River region. It is not NACL's first foray into the topic of sustainable agriculture, however. Kowalchuk and Keyser previously collaborated on The Little Farm Show, an original musical performance for all-ages about a brother and sister team of side show performers who tour "The Greatest Show on Dirt!" from town to town to discover "where your food comes from."
A CSArts membership is $150 for an individual, $300 for a family. Visit www.nacl.org or call 845/557-0694 for more information.

Autoweek archives: A fast week in the Bahamas
From the archives of Competition Press comes a page from the December 1963 issue, which covered multiple events hosted during the Nassau Speed Week in the Bahamas.
For 13 years in the 1950s and '60s, the Bahamas were the place where professional drivers from around the world came to relax, race and party together.
Originally intended to draw tourism to the island of New Providence, the Nassau Speed Week became a highly enjoyed week for all those in attendance.
Of the competitions that took place, two of the main events included the Governor's Cup on Friday and the Nassau Trophy race on Sunday.
For 1964, A. J. Foyt would win both feature events, breaking the fabled "Nassau jinx" of no one driver winning both events in the same weekend.
For Chevrolet Corvette fans, check out the works Corvette Gran Sport cars that surprised the crowd and the competition with their domination over the Ford Cobras.
Dan Gurney and Volkswagen fans will enjoy the write-up and the idea of a mixed sedan and a Formula Vee race. Gurney's sedan was contested for not falling within specifications. Gurney's car did, after inspection and tear down, pass approval, and he was awarded the $1,000 purse for his class win.
Also, the three-color reprints of the Stan Petersen Lotus painting are, sadly, no longer available. When was the last time you saw a deal like that--$1 for the print with the shipping cost included in the price?

Post doesn't line up properly
On my website which you can see here
My first post seems to be bigger height wise then the others which makes stacking messed up for the third post. Can someone help me fix this? If I zoom in, it seems to line up properly but when I go back to my normal resolution it gets messed up again.
That's because there is more content in the first box, making it larger. You'll need to set up the 'read more' to truncate a specific range that guarantees a set height.
Not sure why it's doing it though. I'm using these functions to create the excerpt
// Changing excerpt length function new_excerpt_length($length) { return 42; } add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length'); // Changing excerpt more function new_excerpt_more($more) { global $post; return '...ID) . '">' . 'Read More »' . ''; } add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
You'll probably need to set a height in the CSS as well, as different characters have different widths and could end up making the post too tall anyways.

When millionaire Chaz Smith is mercilessly gunned down, she discovers that the murder weapon is linked to the deaths of four of San Francisco's most untouchable criminals.

Lindsay is called next to the most bizarre crime scene she's ever seen: two bodiless heads elaborately displayed in the garden of a world-famous actor. Another head is unearthed in the garden, and Lindsay realizes that the ground could hide hundreds of victims. You won't know until the 11th hour A reporter launches a series of vicious articles about the cases and Lindsay's personal life is laid bare. But this time she has no one to turn to--especially not Joe. 11TH HOUR is the most shocking, most emotional, and most thrilling Women's Murder Club novel ever.

Add a CommentPretty good storyline and very enjoyable time when reading.
I learned about the Women's Murder Club books when there was a short TV series on a while back. I enjoy the characters and the plots. Look forward to #12.
Book would be better if Boxer & Co didn't miss obvious procedural basics--barely diverting.
Enjoyed the book but Lindsay and Joe's story could have been better. Liked the cops story line more then the other one.
Really enjoyed this one - it was a quick read for me.
Always a good choice for a quickie weekend read.
An excellent Woman Murder Club book...lots of suspense....well written....great characters....
Loved it! Can't get enough James Patterson. I only wish the wait between books wasn't so long..
I miss Lindsey Boxer and friends in between books! 2 more mysteries solved! :)
I didn't enjoy this book of the series as much as the first 8. I enjoyd reading about the characters again...but once they found the crime scene, it just went downhill. It was as if I knew what would happen next. It didn't keep me guessing. Not my favorite but still a good one for Patterson fans.
Add a SummaryWhile Linsley is pregnant, she must solve two cases: she must find out who is killing innocent women and putting just their heads on a millionare backyard and which cop is killig drug dealers...

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — After playing three top-10 teams in a span of 10 days, Missouri coach Robin Pingeton isn't worried despite losing those games by an average of 34 points.
"We can't be defined by that scoreboard," she said.
Twelve of Missouri's 13 players only have one year or less of playing experience, and Pingeton believes her team is learning game-by-game. So while Sunday's 69-43 loss to No. 6 Kentucky may not look pretty on the schedule, she thinks the team improved since losing 84-39 Thursday at No. 9 Tennessee.
"I didn't feel like our girls were deflated, I didn't think they hung their heads," she said emphatically. "I don't feel like they're feeling sorry for themselves. I feel like they're embracing this challenging, athletic SEC conference. And we're going to get better and we're going to grow, and we're going to have some fun along the way."
Sydney Crafton led the Tigers (12-6, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) with 11 points and nine rebounds. The team now gets a much-needed week off.
"Now we know what to expect," Crafton said. "So going into these other games, we should know what to expect and how to react and what it takes. I like it.
"It can only get better from here."
Missouri entered the day leading the country with 9.9 3-pointers per game, but only made 2 of 20 from behind the arc and shot 35.3 percent from the field Sunday.
"I can't say that I felt like all of them were great looks," Pingeton said, "but I felt like we had enough good looks, that if we continue to have the poise that we need to have, those shots will fall for us."
DeNesha Stallworth scored 17 points and A'dia Mathies added 14 to help Kentucky (16-1, 4-0) extend its school-record winning streak to 15 games. The team scored the first six points of the game and never trailed, winning its 16th game this season by at least 18 points.
The reigning SEC Player of the Year and this year's preseason conference player of the year, Mathies is used to the attention. But Mitchell talked after the game about Stallworth's unselfishness despite leading the team in scoring Sunday.
"She doesn't care about anything else but winning," he said. "But she does recognize that she does need to play well for us to win. She just can hurt you in so many ways."
Stallworth's layup with 10:08 left in the first half gave Kentucky an early 23-4 lead. Missouri, which started only 1-of-9 from the field, countered with the next nine points but could get no closer, snapping its 11-game home winning streak.
Mitchell said he worried about his team relaxing, but attributed the 4-minute scoring drought to rushing after missed shots.
"I just thought we got a little unsettled offensively and took a few bad shots," he said.
Morgan Eye, whose 4.1 3-pointers per game also rank first nationally, scored on all three attempts inside the arc but failed to make any of her four shots from long range. Kulas scored nine points but only shot 4-for-16 from the field and 1-for-8 on 3-pointers.
Jennifer O'Neill added 11 points for Kentucky, which made all of its 12 free throws attempts. The Wildcats gradually extended their lead in the second half, and the widest margin occurred after O'Neill's layup with 27 seconds remaining.
Kentucky leads the country with a plus-10.3 rebounding margin, but only outrebounded the Tigers 40-37. The Wildcats won the turnover battle, 15-11, though, and benefitted from 16 second-chance points and taking 16 more shots than Missouri.
"Coach emphasized that before the game, just crashing the offensive boards," Mathies said. "That we felt like we had more athleticism than them."
Kentucky started 4-0 in SEC play for the second consecutive season, having won its first 10 conference games during the 2011-12 season. Much of that success flows from the team's full-court press. Asked if Missouri's reliance on 3-point shooting can work in the SEC, Mitchell replied by evaluating his own team.
"I'm absolutely convinced that, sometimes when you play a different style in our league, good things can happen for you," he said. "We, three years ago, adopted a very radical style compared to the rest of the teams in the league and it's been very successful for us."

White House Opposes Audit the Fed Amendment
April 30, 2010 - by Donny ShawThe Senate is getting ready to kick its financial reform debate into high gear next week when they start voting on amendments on all kinds of issues form both parties. So far, the Obama Administration has remained quiet on their support or opposition for specific amendments, but with one exception — they are opposing a bipartisan amendment to open up the Federal Reserve to a full Government Accountability Office Audit.
The Wall Street Journal reports in an article on "populist" amendments:
Obama administration officials have declined to weigh in on any specific amendments, with one exception: a move by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) to give the government more power to audit certain operations at the Federal Reserve. Fed and administration officials have signaled they would fight to stop it at all costs. Mr. Sanders has more than a dozen co-sponsors.
"I can't predict, but I think we've got a good chance to pass it," Mr. Sanders said.
Sanders' "Audit the Fed" amendment is similar to the Federal Reserve Transparency Act in the House that has attracted 319 co-sponsors and was adopted into the House's financial reform bill. In the Senate it is co-sponsored by influential senators from both parties and is generally regarded as the amendment supported by reform advocates with the best chance of passing.

why shouldn't we audit the fed? one of 4 stated missions of the federal reserve is to maximize employment. we want to make sure they are accountable to that.
bankster has an audit the fed tool that lets you ask your legislator to help push for this amendment, this is the week to do it:
Of course not because Obama just appointed three new seats for the Board.
good time" credit they could receive and save US tax-payers more than 2 billion dollars per year. The reduction would apply to all federal prisoners except the ones serving life sentences.

A simple-simon resource for understanding the federal budget
pictures speek louder than words
The folks over at the Heritage Foundation have done a great job putting together a incredible resource that makes it easy to understand our federal budget, taxes, national debt and the spending that has made it all possible (so to speak).
They've got a new "Budget Book" section available with simple-simon, interactive charts and graphs, so there's not excuse not to understand what's going on. And they make it easy to share with others as well...which means there's no reason for you not to spread the word and help educate others.
Here's their video explaining the new resource.

3 Meetup Groups match "Aviation" near Stafford, VA
Every time I take off, I get an almost overwhelming sense of freedom. It's as if I could go anywhere, and not have to worry about traffic or whether or not a road has been built over a body of water. Then to see things from that perspective - sometimes awe-inspiring scenes of autumn, or a river as the light hits it just so, or the wakes of boats, almost like swans, or the mountains fading into the mist in the distance. Ask any pilot why they fly, but be ready to be there awhile, because we never …
This is a group for amateur and professional drone users committed to promoting the use of flying robots for recreational, humanitarian, and artistic purposes. We get together as a community to share tips, experiences, and of course to do some flying. Let's learn from each other and have some fun. All experience levels are welcome.
This meetup is a network database of professionals working in the legal field of international arbitration, including commercial and investment-state arbitration in a wide range of industry sectors, including but not limited to aviation, aerospace, chemicals, construction, communications, oil & gas.

HP and the case against share buybacks
Buying back stock is not the best way to create shareholder value.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is the latest large American company to announce it will buy back more shares. This has become popular once again among the cash-rich in the Fortune 500. McDonald's (MCD) and IBM (IBM) have become particularly aggressive.
The arguments against share buybacks are old and hardly worth repeating. However, returning to the case that they harm shareholders keeps the debate fresh.
HP had revenue of $30.8 billion for the quarter ending Oct. 31. That's a drop of 8%. Earnings rose 14% to $2.4 billion. HP's chief, Mark Hurd, has been particularly brutal cutting costs, making him the Jack Welch of the current decade.
HP's forecast for its current fiscal year was unusually strong. The company estimates fiscal year 2010 revenue to be about $118.0 billion to $119.0 billion. HP is blessed to have more than $13 billion in cash, and that number grows each quarter. HP will make use of some of that money to triple its old share-buyback program to $12 billion.
The pro argument for buying back shares is that the fewer the shares, the higher the EPS. No one who is a sophisticated investor is fooled much by this. Profits are profits, no matter how many shares are outstanding.
HP is not giving any money to shareholders by sharply increasing its 32 cent dividend, which is only a measly 0.6% yield. HP could help the people and institutions that own shares by moving that payout up sharply or issuing a one-time dividend.
The buyback also says, to some extent, that HP does not need its cash for M&A purposes. That is too bad. The company has bought other tech operations. If it buys back too much cash, the next purchase will be with debt or shares. A debt-based M&A purchase negates the reason for keeping cash on the balance sheet. A stock-based acquisition offsets a share buyback with new dilution.
More and more tech firms are becoming remarkably cash-rich. Apple (AAPL) may be the most visible example. It is not buying back shares, buying companies or paying a dividend. HP can always point to Apple and claim that it at least is doing something with its cash. Even so, it is an inadequate excuse.

This is one fantastic set. Bigger than I expected and each helmet has some weight to it, the individual light-up feature just adds that extra wow factor. Paint is amazing and the base just finishes it off nicely. Thanks SS

Character Evolution Diversification Molecular Data Gene trees Simulations & Randomizations Continuous Characters Use with Other Programs Studies
Mesquite has various tools to simulate and randomize characters and trees, including simulations of DNA sequence evolution, tree reshuffling, coalescent gene tree simulations, and others. With these tools, you can build your own statistical inference methods tailored to your question.
For instance, you can test an hypothesis about phylogenetic structure using parametric bootstrapping, simulating many character matrices on a proposed tree, for each attempting to reconstruct the tree and assessing the reconstruction. Or, you can simulate gene trees within a population to test a population genetics or phylogeographic hypothesis. Or, you can study the effect of branch length uncertainty on calculation of Felsenstein's contrasts by adding random noise to branch lengths on a given tree, repeating many times to see the variation in calculated correlation coefficient of contrasts in two characters. Many other analyses are possible. We give an overview of the features and some examples in the following.

Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.

Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Series: A Quest for God
In this five part series, two young men, Josh and Aron, engage each other through e-mail letters. Their conversation oscillates between the seemingly suspicious elements of God and the gospel (raised by Josh) as well as responses that offer meaningful insight into these questions (answered by Aron). Ideas such as prayer, judgment, and the concealed nature of God are among the many points in this truth-seeking exchange.
Dead Bones with a Living Message
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
Science is Empowering But Hard to Define
It is easy to be confused about what science is and what scientists do. In part, this is because scientists do so many different things in so many different ways.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
Series: Design in Nature
In this series, Oliver R. Barclay examines the idea of God as Designer. He concludes that God did indeed design creation, and that the "state of the world is evidence not only for the existence and power of God but for his kindness and care for his creation." Barclay then goes on to investigate the arguments for Intelligent Design which attempt to prove that certain examples of design necessarily imply direct intervention by a Great Designer. He points the flaws of such an argument and discusses its implications.
Series: Addressing Christian Concerns about the Implications of BioLogos' Science
In this series, Ard Louis addresses concerns that Christians may have about the BioLogos view that stem from specific misconceptions. Among these are misunderstandings about the nature of science, God's action in the universe, and natural theology. In addition, there is unwarranted mistrust towards the academic world. Finally, he encourages the BioLogos team to carefully confront "the ways we in the church have all been shaped by the spirit of the age" and to patiently listen and speak about these issues.
Series: John Polkinghorne on Natural Theology
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
