Brussels National Airport (www.brusselsairport.be) is less than 20 minutes by train from the city center. "Airport City Express" trains depart from level-1 (basement) of the airport terminal building four times an hour (from 6 am to just before midnight) and stop at each of the city's three train stations: Brussels Midi, Central, and North.
An airport bus station can also be found below the Arrivals Hall (take elevators and escalators in the Diamond Area). Metered taxis outside the Arrivals Hall cost about € 30 for a trip to the city center. (Taxi for wheelchair users: Taxi Hendriks, Tel: +32 2 752 98 00)
While many sites in Brussels can be reached by walking, if you plan to take the metro, purchase one-way tickets at the metro stations and newsagents (best to have exact change for most ticket machines!). Books of unlimited 12-hour passes are also available. Tickets need to be stamped at the ticket barrier. For a map of the Brussels metro, click on www.stib.be/netplan-plan-reseau.html?l=en
Trams and buses in Brussels stop only when requested. Discounts include five- or ten-journey tickets and a two-person ticket for the weekend. Purchasing a "Tourist Passport" reduces the price for admission to a number of city attractions and includes a two-person weekend travel card. PLANITRAM is the public transport system of trams, buses and metro.
Brussels is headquarters to the European Union and NATO. There are 80 museums to discover. One hour train ride away from Brussels is Bruges (Brugge), one of the most charming and best preserved medieval cities in Europe. Also consider a visit to Antwerp (40 minutes by train), located on the River Schelde, with its 20 museums, diamond district, and the largest Gothic Church in Belgium.
Ruzyně International Airport (airport website) is 20 km northwest of Prague's center. While the largest airport in the Czech Republic, it is not yet accessible by tram or metro, so plan to take a bus (or taxi) to connect with the metro system at Dejvická station, the end point of the metro's Green Line "A". You need buy only one ticket (since it will work for both bus and metro) and validate it only once (on the first transport you board, whether bus, tram or metro).
Note: Brno International Airport lies 200 kilometers southeast of Prague. The city of Brno is in the south of Moravia, one of the Czech Republic's 3 provinces.
Best to reserve an international train a few weeks before traveling to Prague, especially in summer. Most international trains arrive and depart from Praha Hlavni Nadrazi (which translates literally from Czech as "Prague Main Station" but is often called "Prague Central Station" and often abbreviated as "hl.n."), in the neighborhood of Nove Město. This station offers the most complete range of facilities, including train information, currency exchange, showers, lost and found, day-use lockers, and fast food. (Note: At night you should use caution and not take strolls in the parks outside the station.)
International trains often pass through Prague's other railway stations: Praha Holesovice and Praha Smichov and Praha Masarykovo Nadrazi. Subway lines serve all these stations and are easily accessible.
Prague's public transit system allows for use of the same ticket on trams, subway cars or buses. For about 20 Koruna (US$1) you can ride for 75 minutes on any of these forms of transport. A 40 Koruna ticket allows for 180 minutes of travel. Tickets are available at any coin dispenser or tobacco shop. At major subway stations, tickets for longer periods (24 hours, 3 days and 7 days) can be bought. Be sure to time-stamp your ticket when boarding bus or tram, or at the entrance to subway stations. 500-Koruna fines are possible for unstamped tickets or freeloading.
Budget tip: Consider the Prague Card for 740 Koruna (US$37), which gives you 4 days of travel, free entry to over 50 museums, other discounts, and a guidebook.
Today the capital of the Czech Republic and home to 1.2 million people, Prague has been the center of the "Czech" world and Bohemian life for over 800 years. The Stare Mesto and Mala Strana districts, lying on either side of the Vltava River, together form one of Europe's best preserved old city centers. Most every street will attract your eye with its stone walkways as well as Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

God's Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
A Prayer for the Ephesians
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

The devstat subsystem is an interface for recording device statistics, as its name implies. The idea is to keep reasonably detailed statistics while utilizing a minimum amount of CPU time to record them. Thus, no statistical calculations are actually performed in the kernel portion of the code. Instead, that is left for user programs to handle.Fn devstat_add_entry registers a device with the subsystem. The caller is expected to have already allocated and zeroed the devstat structure before calling this function. Fn devstat_add_entry takes several arguments:
- ds
- The devstat structure, allocated and zeroed by the client.
- dev_name
- The device name, e.g. da, cd, sa.
- unit_number
- Device unit number.
- block_size
- Block size of the device, if supported. If the device does not support a block size, or if the blocksize is unknown at the time the device is added to the list, it should be set to 0.
- flags
- Flags indicating operations supported or not supported by the device. See below for details.
- device_type
- The device type. This is broken into three sections: base device type (e.g. direct access, CDROM, sequential access), interface type (IDE, SCSI or other) and a pass-through flag to indicate pas-through devices. See below for a complete list of types.
- priority
- The device priority. The priority is used to determine how devices are sorted within devstat 's list of devices. Devices are sorted first by priority (highest to lowest), and then by attach order. See below for a complete list of available priorities.
Fn devstat_remove_entry removes a device from the subsystem. It takes the devstat structure for the device in question as an argument. The generation number is incremented and the number of devices is decremented.
Fn devstat_start_transaction registers the start of a transaction with the subsystem. The busy count is incremented with each transaction start. When a device goes from idle to busy, the system uptime is recorded in the start_time field of the devstat structure.
Fn devstat_end_transaction registers the end of a transaction with the subsystem. It takes four arguments:
- ds
- The devstat structure for the device in question.
- bytes
- The number of bytes transferred in this transaction.
- tag_type
- Transaction tag type. See below for tag types.
- flags
- Transaction flags indicating whether the transaction was a read, write, or whether no data was transferred.
Fn devstat_end_transaction_bio is a wrapper for Fn devstat_end_transaction which pulls all the information from a struct bio which is ready for biodone().
The devstat structure is composed of the following fields:
- dev_links
- Each devstat structure is placed in a linked list when it is registered. The dev_links field contains a pointer to the next entry in the list of devstat structures.
- device_number
- The device number is a unique identifier for each device. The device number is incremented for each new device that is registered. The device number is currently only a 32-bit integer, but it could be enlarged if someone has a system with more than four billion device arrival events.
- device_name
- The device name is a text string given by the registering driver to identify itself. (e.g. ``da'' ``cd'' ``sa'' etc.)
- unit_number
- The unit number identifies the particular instance of the peripheral driver in question.
- bytes_written
- This is the number of bytes that have been written to the device. This number is currently an unsigned 64 bit integer. This will hopefully eliminate the counter wrap that would come very quickly on some systems if 32 bit integers were used.
- bytes_read
- This is the number of bytes that have been read from the device.
- bytes_freed
- This is the number of bytes that have been freed/erased on the device.
- num_reads
- This is the number of reads from the device.
- num_writes
- This is the number of writes to the device.
- num_frees
- This is the number of free/erase operations on the device.
- num_other
- This is the number of transactions to the device which are neither reads or writes. For instance, SCSI drivers often send a test unit ready command to SCSI devices. The test unit ready command does not read or write any data. It merely causes the device to return its status.
- busy_count
- This is the current number of outstanding transactions for the device. This should never go below zero, and on an idle device it should be zero. If either one of these conditions is not true, it indicates a problem in the way Fn devstat_start_transaction and Fn devstat_end_transaction are being called in client code. There should be one and only one transaction start event and one transaction end event for each transaction.
- block_size
- This is the block size of the device, if the device has a block size.
- tag_types
- This is an array of counters to record the number of various tag types that are sent to a device. See below for a list of tag types.
- dev_creation_time
- This is the time, as reported by Fn getmicrotime that the device was registered.
- busy_time
- This is the amount of time that the device busy count has been greater than zero. This is only updated when the busy count returns to zero.
- start_time
- This is the time, as reported by Fn getmicrouptime that the device busy count went from zero to one.
- last_comp_time
- This is the time as reported by Fn getmicrouptime that a transaction last completed. It is used along with start_time to calculate the device busy time.
- flags
- These flags indicate which statistics measurements are supported by a particular device. These flags are primarily intended to serve as an aid to userland programs that decipher the statistics.
- device_type
- This is the device type. It consists of three parts: the device type (e.g. direct access, CDROM, sequential access, etc.), the interface (IDE, SCSI or other) and whether or not the device in question is a pass-through driver. See below for a complete list of device types.
- priority
- This is the priority. This is the first parameter used to determine where to insert a device in the list. The second parameter is attach order. See below for a list of available priorities.
Each device is given a device type. Pass-through devices have the same underlying device type and interface as the device they provide an interface for, but they also have the pass-through flag set. The base device types are identical to the SCSI device type numbers, so with SCSI peripherals, the device type returned from an inquiry is usually ORed with the SCSI interface type and the pass-through flag if appropriate. The device type flags are as follows:
typedef enum { DEVSTAT_TYPE_DIRECT = 0x000, DEVSTAT_TYPE_SEQUENTIAL = 0x001, DEVSTAT_TYPE_PRINTER = 0x002, DEVSTAT_TYPE_PROCESSOR = 0x003, DEVSTAT_TYPE_WORM = 0x004, DEVSTAT_TYPE_CDROM = 0x005, DEVSTAT_TYPE_SCANNER = 0x006, DEVSTAT_TYPE_OPTICAL = 0x007, DEVSTAT_TYPE_CHANGER = 0x008, DEVSTAT_TYPE_COMM = 0x009, DEVSTAT_TYPE_ASC0 = 0x00a, DEVSTAT_TYPE_ASC1 = 0x00b, DEVSTAT_TYPE_STORARRAY = 0x00c, DEVSTAT_TYPE_ENCLOSURE = 0x00d, DEVSTAT_TYPE_FLOPPY = 0x00e, DEVSTAT_TYPE_MASK = 0x00f, DEVSTAT_TYPE_IF_SCSI = 0x010, DEVSTAT_TYPE_IF_IDE = 0x020, DEVSTAT_TYPE_IF_OTHER = 0x030, DEVSTAT_TYPE_IF_MASK = 0x0f0, DEVSTAT_TYPE_PASS = 0x100 } devstat_type_flags;
Devices have a priority associated with them, which controls roughly where they are placed in the list. The priorities are as follows:
typedef enum { DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_MIN = 0x000, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_OTHER = 0x020, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_PASS = 0x030, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_FD = 0x040, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_WFD = 0x050, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_TAPE = 0x060, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_CD = 0x090, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_DISK = 0x110, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_ARRAY = 0x120, DEVSTAT_PRIORITY_MAX = 0xfff } devstat_priority;
Each device has associated with it flags to indicate what operations are supported or not supported. The devstat_support_flags values are as follows:
- Every statistic type is supported by the device.
- This device does not have a blocksize.
- This device does not support ordered tags.
- This device supports a blocksize, but it is currently unavailable. This flag is most often used with removable media drives.
Transactions to a device fall into one of three categories, which are represented in the flags passed into Fn devstat_end_transaction . The transaction types are as follows:
typedef enum { DEVSTAT_NO_DATA = 0x00, DEVSTAT_READ = 0x01, DEVSTAT_WRITE = 0x02, DEVSTAT_FREE = 0x03 } devstat_trans_flags;
There are four possible values for the tag_type argument to Fn devstat_end_transaction :
- The transaction had a simple tag.
- The transaction had a head of queue tag.
- The transaction had an ordered tag.
- The device does not support tags.
The tag type values correspond to the lower four bits of the SCSI tag definitions. In CAM, for instance, the tag_action from the CCB is ORed with 0xf to determine the tag type to pass in to Fn devstat_end_transaction .
There is a macro, DEVSTAT_VERSION that is defined in In sys/devicestat.h . This is the current version of the subsystem, and it should be incremented each time a change is made that would require recompilation of userland programs that access statistics. Userland programs use this version, via the kern.devstat.version sysctl variable to determine whether they are in sync with the kernel structures.
The statistics system appeared in Fx 3.0 .AUTHORS
An Kenneth Merry Aq [email protected]BUGS
There may be a need for Fn spl protection around some of the list manipulation code to ensure, for example, that the list of devices is not changed while someone is fetching the kern.devstat.all sysctl variable.It is impossible with the current architecture to accurately measure time per transaction. The only feasible way to accurately measure time per transaction would be to record a timestamp for every transaction. This measurement is probably not worthwhile for most people as it would adversely affect the performance of the system and cost space to store the timestamps for individual transactions.

Sesamoids are small bones that are connected only to tendons or are embedded in muscle. This structure appears in only a few places in the human body, one of which is the foot. Two very small sesamoids (about the size of a kernel of corn) are found in the underside of the forefoot near the big toe—one on the outer side of the foot and the other closer to the middle of the foot. Sesamoids provide a smooth surface over which the tendons slide, thus increasing the ability of the tendons to transmit muscle forces. In the foot, sesamoids assist with weight-bearing and help elevate the bones of the big toe.
Like other bones, sesamoids can fracture. Additionally, the tendons surrounding the sesamoids can become irritated or inflamed, which is called sesamoiditis and is a form of tendonitis. Sesamoiditis is a common condition among ballet dancers, runners, and baseball catchers because of the pressures placed on their feet.
Symptoms include:
- Pain under the big toe or on the ball of the foot.
- Swelling and bruising.
- Difficulty and pain in bending and straightening the big toe.
Surgery is usually not required to treat sesamoiditis. Treatments generally include:
- Discontinuation of the activity causing the pain and inflammation.
- Over-the-counter pain medications and anti-inflammatories, such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications.
- Icing the sole of the foot.
- Wearing shoes that are soft-soled and low-heeled.
- Using cushioning in shoes to relieve stress.
- Injection of a steroidal medication to reduce swelling.
If symptoms persist, you may need to wear a removable brace on the leg for four-to-six weeks to give the inflammation time to subside and the bones to heal.

Got your Double Espresso Mocha Latte Cappuccino ready? There's over 135 (mostly high quality) photos plus videos in this review. I'll forgive you if you have to favorite it and return later.
Be sure to check out my full Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party event guide too!
(Click on any pic for a larger view.)
Walt Disney World has never offered a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this early in the season. It seemed really premature to be offering everyone a "Happy Halloween" while we were pouring sweat all night long on Labor Day. I suppose the goal was to sell more…
With the lowest crowds of the year being around Labor Day, it was a foregone conclusion that this party wouldn't sell out and it was VERY lightly attended. There were times when we felt almost lonely in the park due to the low crowds. I'm not complaining, just saying the place was pretty empty compared to other parties. Turn right to enter pardner.
All the festive banners, pumpkins and candy corn is out to celebrate the national holiday that is the first Monday in September.
As we entered the park, they gave us maps (didn't need them, mine was better :) and candy collecting bags.
Even in early September, these guys bring a smile to your face while wiping the sweat away.
They really want you to feel welcomed!
We had stopped by Will Call to pick up our tickets that we pre-purchased with annual pass discount and looked around a bit. When then proceeded to the Fire Station to pick up our FREE special Mickey's Not So Scary Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom party exclusive card. (Phone pic)
We had Fastpass+ for Tinker Bell and Mickey already arranged. You can use your party ticket to book FP+ between 4:00 & 7:00pm, but there is NO FP+ of any type during the party and yes, that includes meet and greets.
Smile and say queso! Jordyn was a bit disappointed that Mickey only asked if she wanted a photo. She had hoped for a more full conversation. My money was on Hitchhiking Ghosts because I seem to always get that spiel. We later learned that Mickey was meeting in a special costume in Town Square and later in Town Square Theater during the party. We've seen him in it before, so we didn't circle back.
Jordyn held down our spot for Jack and Sally in the shade while I went to explore and post photos and info to Twitter and Facebook. Here's the line that had formed for this couple around 5:30pm. (Phone pic)
The posted wait for Anna and Elsa was 50 minutes at 5:38pm and dropped to 30 minutes shortly before the party began. Most guests were reporting waits of about 20 minutes during the party. (Phone pic)
Here's the line for Seven Dwarfs meet and greet at 5:40pm. About a half dozen brave souls. (Phone pic)
The queue was really full by 6:30pm
Because attendance was low, I mean really low, we could have returned late at night for no wait, but we wanted the full party for fun and didn't want to take a chance as this was her #1 meet for the night. Dwarfs line began to fill out about 6:00pm and was cut before the night ended.
I returned to meet Jordyn at 6:40pm and this was the line for Jack and Sally in Town Square.
Jack and Sally seem to be really in love, in a scarred and sewn up sort of way.
Jack asked if I wore orange in honor of him and pumpkins. I told him we'd go with that. He was already pouring sweat just like me and had only been out a few minutes. Did I tell you it was hot? "It's like a sauna up in here." Jack said it's hot like the bad place and pointed downward. I think he meant Six Flags.
We then dropped into the Emporium to pick up 3 pins for Jordyn's collection. She tries to get a pin for different special occasions and has a special pin board in her room full of Disney Parks memories.
From there we lined up to meet Tarzan, Jane and Terk. If you catch the overlap correctly, you can get all 3 at once. Their schedules and all others are on my app www.characterlocator.com.
Tarzan and I discussed my love for elephants (Alabama football) and he is particular to tigers in the same color as Jane's dress. He carries a spear, so I relented that tigers are okay sometimes too, as long as they aren't present with elephants. It's always a pleasure to see Jane, she is so sweet. We waited from 7:27 to 7:59pm. Tarzan would remain 15 more minutes before the scramble back and forth would commence.
We had to do a bit of hunting to find the Aladdin group. They are hidden between Aloha Isle and the bathrooms in a little room with a tiny sign. We waited 18 minutes, from 8:02 to 8:20 because we had arrived right as they were rotating with Jasmine and Genie.
It was beginning to get nice a dark and Adventureland was EMPTY. Most people refuse to listen to my advice and still attend the first parade. Fine with me. I'll go meet Jack Sparrow with very little waiting! I've said this before, but bears repeating. Be sure to get a mid-day nap on a party night or your little ones will either throw a fit (that's tantrum for non-southerners) or fall asleep in the stroller and you'll have to carry them to the resort.
I tried to capture this one with the moonlight, but eh…
Initially the lady told us we wouldn't make this set and we'd have to wait until the 9:00pm meet, but the line moved pretty quickly and we made it in with 7 minutes to spare. we waited from 8:25 to 8:38pm.
When we greeted him with "Hi Jack!" he reminded us that it's CAPTAIN Jack. Doesn't understand why everyone forgets that.
We talked about how we had recently met his nemesis. He asked "Which one. I have so many." We told him that Barbossa basically messed up our camera.
We were unsure what to expect with character lines, so Jordyn held down the spot for Jafar to return at 9:00pm and I ventured on for a few minutes.
I found the Cadaver Dans in Frontierland across from the Country Bears Jamboree. They are easy to spot and they have amplified sound in the area. They also appear closer to Liberty Square. Their schedule and all show schedules are in my app found here.
Here's a video I recorded of their performance while singing "Grim Grinning Ghosts."
He told us to raise our hands for a pledge, but there's always that one guy.
After enjoying the Cadavers I made my way over to Club Villain to see who would be there. It takes place in the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon. The inside is well themed, but they forgot a Club Villain sign outside! I was a slacker and didn't take a video. It's modern pop/dance tunes and villains dance with you, you get the idea.
Cruella is such an awesome character and good choice for a dance party, but I'd prefer the meet and greet! I saw a LOT of selfies being taken with characters at dance parties.
Lady Tremaine poses for the press.
I think she was asking why the girl didn't dress in "Poopie."
Anastasia and Drizella were there too. Sorry D, the photo looked terrible due to the smoke in the room.
Gratuitious Disney DJ booth photo bomb. Those things pop up everywhere.
The artwork on the walls was top notch and really looked great under the black lights. Well done there.
No, Pete doesn't appear in any of the Disney theme parks before you ask.
So at 9:00pm promptly Jafar returned from parade duties and began his meets. Jordyn said it was a real waste of time to arrive more than 5 minutes early. This is the type of quality research we provide at KtP.
Photo taken while I blinked. I wasn't asleep at 9:00pm. We hung around a few extra minutes because someone asked me to join their family for a photo. I had the opportunity to meet a bunch of great people who follow this little blog and use my "web based mobile site application." Super nice folks!
From there we made out way to Main Street to find a place to view Celebrate the Magic: Villains Edition and Wishes. Each of these are only performed once per night. We got a great spot between Casey Corner and the hub. We were just in front of a bunch of bloggers who had the street blocked off. Sorry about the guy with the kid on his shoulders who stood in front of a camera on a tripod for the first few seconds.
The full Happy Hallowishes fireworks show. I need to study my video a bit so I can take some cool photos for my next review.
After viewing those shows, we made our way forward so we could view the final Villains Mix and Mingle: Live on Stage! Okay, if you want to choose a dumb name, leave the word "Mingle" into something that is merely a show. Bring back the villains meets or call it Villains Castle Show like I do.
We moved in right behind all the people who paid $99 each for the Villains Soiree and left saying the "Fireworks were too close to the Castle." Hehe, sounds like my review of the Star Wars Premium Package. The viewing area that we got free of charge for the Villains Caslte Show and second parade is across from the castle in the hub. Primo view for parade, but too close for fireworks ;)
Here's the viewing area for the parade and fireworks if you pay $99 for the Soiree. I got this for FREE right after the fireworks show.
A super nice Photopass lady asked if we had gotten our Magic Shot yet and took this photo for us.
Where to find the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Photopass Magic Shots
If you click the little play button, it will present moving pictures and sound from the Villains Show!
That's Cinderella Castle right behind the Headless Horseman. They did something a little different with the Horseman. They held him at the bridge, then played a little audio bit. He walks more since they had those dangerous falls in the past.
The best view of the Horseman is still the one my buddy Rob recommended last year in front of the Barber Show in Town Square.
Pretty Disney smile to begin the parade.
Piglet, you don't have your costume on!
Jordyn said, "If I was that Jasmine, I'd love to have this photo." My daughter is too sweet and compliments my terrible photography and editing skills. Is she sponging for a car?
Donald Duck and Daisy on the other side.
Wendy, the lost boys, Mr. Smee and Peter Pan join Captain Hook on the pirate ship.
He seemed nervous about all the character cuts that occurred for 2014 Halloween Party.
Hook is searching for all the missing villains.
Nothing says "Pirate" like waving a flag, right?
Rum, why did it have to be the rum?
I finally got this guy to turn for a photo and the dog decided to turn away. Uggh. I guess I'll need to throw down another $58 and return. Maybe these guys should be at the Soiree?
Hey dude, that's pavement! You can't use a shovel on pavement.
Fewer character meets, but more dancers!
You got a problem with dancers pirate guy?
Clarabelle cruising the Castle Hub in style.
Clara Cluck follows closely behind in her hen house.
New to the parade this year are Vanellope and Wreck-it Ralph. My little girl is excited to see them parade past and most of the kids around were too.
Well, they were excited until they realized that Goofy got chintzy and took away the suckers that he handed out for the last several years!
Always nice to have a quality rock band.
We never had Bowler Hat around until last year and now he's joined the parade and seemed excited about it!
Judge Claude Frollo says, "Dude, relax with all the talk about cuts in the Halloween Party or every party will have this light attendance!"
Found the money that they made on the Villains Soiree. Not sure you can trust that treasurer.
Let's get contentious. She's always worn orange in the parade, looks great in dark light. I used flash. Makeup could be more dramatic though.
Want to know how to make people mad on Facebook? Show a photo of Maleficent smiling. Remember, I caught her about to laugh villainously and villains do smile too.
Villains smile, but she doesn't!
Stop smiling! Stop it I say! It gives you wrinkles.
After the parade we made our way around and did a bit of the "blogger fly by" that is a popular way to document events. Tiana was NOT meeting with Naveen. Do that on a non-party day.
No princes, no villains after Castle Show this year. And you can only meet Maleficent, Snow Queen and Captain Hook at Soiree too.
Kenny, all we really care about is the wait time for Anna and Elsa! Please tell us that people walked right in. Well, they did at the end of the night. Posted wait seemed to be stuck on 40 all night. I don't trust those signs anyway. People reported 20 minute waits. Hey, if they cut the Princes, we should have really low waits. Cinderella and Rapunzel were 10 minutes or less all night.
Snow White and Aurora meet near the new Castle wall on the right side when looking toward the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. They had a short wait and can be met at Magic Kingdom during the day or at Epcot. Don't waste party time on daytime characters!
Our destination was to meet the Witch. We met her at Villains Unleashed and the lines were LOOONNNGG. Tonight we waited 2 minutes at 11:10pm.
Would you like a lovely apple?
We then made our way around to meet the Queen of Hearts, Alice and Mad Hatter. Queen was ending her set at 11:20pm and Mad Hatter was on his way out for his final set of the night. We only waited because we wanted to meet Mad Hatter when he returned.
The Mad Hatter is such a great fun character. He really keeps an interaction going and is on par with Gaston and Tremaines for fun. Be sure to meet him. You might catch the Queen of Hearts at Character Palooza (weather permitting)
We then stopped by the Monstrous Dance Party in Tomorrowland to see Mike, Sulley, Boo, Needleman and George Sanderson.
Lotso and Buzz share a single meet and greet line, but have separate meet stations.
Smells like strawberries, but don't let the smile fool you! Most of the night the wait was 20 minutes or less.
Minnie and Daisy were meeting together at Storybook Circus entrance and had a 15-20 minute line most of the night.
I missed the Donald and Goofy meet and greet. I know, I'm terrible at this blogging stuff! I can tell you that Donald was wearing this Pumpkin costume again this year.
Pooh and the Gang is always a popular meet so arrive at least 15 minutes before their set time. With 4 characters, the meet moves kind of slowly.
The Dwarfs remained until really late, but they had already cut the line when we checked the final time at 11:50pm.
We got our Hitchhiking Ghost Photopass Magic Shot before moving to the Haunted Mansion
We had a couple minutes to spare before the Mansion closed, so we took in the final Magic Shot of the night.
.This guy loves his job. Just look at that enthusiasm.
We'll end the night with various photos of the the decor. We only collected a little candy on two stops, but my favorite is the chewy caramels at Pinocchio Village Haus!
MY THOUGHTS: I hate that they made so many cuts to this party. It's always been the most fun we've had at Disney with the special characters, parade, villains show and fireworks. We had a great time this night as well, but seemed a little empty without the Princes and most of the villains.
I'm being sponsored to try the Villains Soiree and create a Princess plan for the September 12th party. If you'd like to meet up, we'll be in the Dwarfs line around 6:00pm. I'll write a full review of the events that night.

And as we continue to cover the events in the Boston area, we want to also talk about one other story, Boeing 787. The jet known as the Dreamliner will be back in the air soon. This afternoon, the FAA approved Boeing's redesign of the plane's battery system. Fifty 787s have been grounded for the last three months following two serious battery failures, one which led to a fire.
NPR's Wendy Kaufman has been following the story, and she joins us now. And Wendy, Boeing is getting a green light, so what makes government regulators confident that this fix will work?
WENDY KAUFMAN, BYLINE: Well, Melissa, I think the short answer is, there's been a lot of analysis and a lot of testing. So before Boeing redesigned this battery, it assembled a team of experts, including a lot of people from outside the company, to assess all the ways - and there are a lot of them - in which these batteries could fail, and then they came up with ways to address all of them.
After the redesign, the company spent 100,000 hours developing test plans, building test rigs, conducting tests, and analyzing the results. The FAA says, for its part, that its team of certification specialists observed those tests and devoted weeks to reviewing the detailed analysis, and they've come away believing that Boeing will ensure safety with its new battery plan.
BLOCK: So what does that mean? What changes did Boeing make?
KAUFMAN: They think of it as a multi-pronged approach. It's sort of a comprehensive solution. So first, the individual battery cells will be better insulated, so that a problem in one cell couldn't spread to another. Now - then, the charging system has been redesigned so that the amount of current that can be fed into the battery will be reduced. Then there's a fireproof, stainless-steel box that will house the battery. Excessive gasses will now be vented outside the airplane, and there'll be additional monitoring of the battery.
BLOCK: OK. Well, Wendy, I said these Dreamliners are going to be back in the air soon. How soon is soon?
KAUFMAN: Pretty soon. New batteries are being sent to the airlines. Boeing has created these so-called retrofit kits. It's dispatching 10 fix-it teams - about 300 people, in all - to help do the work. Each plane should take about five days to retrofit. Then there'll be some additional testing and retraining by the airlines. And then, after nearly four months, the 787 should be able to return to the skies.
BLOCK: OK. Wendy, thanks so much.
KAUFMAN: Thanks, Melissa.
BLOCK: That's NPR's Wendy Kaufman, speaking with us from Seattle. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Whether to buy an existing home or have one built is yet another decision to make during the home-buying process. If you decide to go with new construction, a real estate agent can be a powerful advocate in your corner as you negotiate upgrades, a move-in date and other terms with the home builder.
Below are some basic pointers to prepare you for the journey ahead.
Selecting a builder
Shopping for a large production or custom home builder can be a daunting task. Start by defining what architectural styles appeal to you and then seek out the builders in your area who offer those styles. Due diligence is essential. Ask friends for referrals to get firsthand accounts; verify the builder's state license status, if applicable; and check whether they're certified by the National Association of Home Builders.
The builder representative and your real estate agent
A builder representative's ultimate goal is to sell you a home. His or her role is to provide a wide range of information to help you in your decision-making, from building restrictions, roads and easements to inspections, warranties, rebates and upgrades. A real estate agent knowledgeable in new-home construction will be able to help you wade through all the data and point out the downsides and upsides of each line item. Your agent also can look out for your interests in reviewing the builder's contract, which often contains more legal jargon than consumer-friendly language.
It's all about timing
Market conditions greatly dictate a builder's incentive to make a deal you cannot refuse. When a builder has inventory on his hands, his carrying costs start adding up. When this happens, a builder might be more amenable to strike a favorable deal, whether it's throwing in upgrades or taking a bit off the asking price. A real estate agent can help you know when market conditions are right for these benefits. Also, watch for builder close-out sales. Builders promote these special events when a new subdivision is near completion but empty inventory still remains.
A word about paying up
While there are always exceptions, most builders require a deposit when a purchase agreement is signed. They also require that the buyer pay for any upgrades prior to closing. If you back out prior to closing, unless the agreement states otherwise, you will lose that money. Make sure you understand every detail in the builder's contract before signing it.

Just got my HarmonicFables Duffel and it's a game-changer! Perfect size for weekend getaways, and the material feels super durable. Love the unique design too – definitely stands out at the baggage claim.
These sneakers are top-notch! Comfortable right out of the box, stylish, and great for both running and casual wear. The attention to detail is impressive. HarmonicFables really hit the mark with these. First time ever buying collectibles.
The fabric quality of this T-shirt is fantastic – soft, breathable, yet feels like it will last ages. The fit is spot on, and the graphic design hasn't faded after several washes. A solid addition to my wardrobe. Also bought one for my son to match my outfit.
This hoodie has become my new favorite. It's so cozy and warm, perfect for chilly evenings. The material is soft and has held up well in the wash. Plus, the design is really unique and gets lots of compliments.
Absolutely in love with my new canvas art from HarmonicFables. The colors are vibrant and the quality is superb. It's a stunning piece that adds a touch of luxury to my living room. Let's make art great again.
I've been using this backpack for my daily commute and it's incredibly functional with plenty of pockets. It's also surprisingly lightweight and comfortable on my shoulders, even when it's packed full.

Porcelain Veneers
Ask Hammock Gardens Dental Care if our services are right for you
Make an AppointmentWhat are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Porcelain dental veneers are a custom-designed shell inserted onto the surface of your teeth like a new layer of enamel to help restore the look of your teeth. Once inserted, they can cover damaged or worn enamel, provide a bright, white surface, and even help straighten crooked teeth.
Porcelain veneers are the ideal option for smile improvement, having become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. When bonded, they are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains (though we do not condone smoking for a variety of health reasons) and their resemblance to natural tooth enamel is second to none. Because they are thin, they take on the natural color of the underlying tooth.
Picture a veneer as an ultra-thin covering on your teeth's outer surface made from super-strong, enamel-mimicking materials, thus making it a tooth's perfect substitute. Having a porcelain veneer bonded to your tooth makes for an attractive, radiant, and new exterior.
Call Hammock Gardens Dental Care in New Smyrna Beach, Florida today at 386-957-5270 or continue reading for more information!
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers will assist in giving you your dream smile for at least a decade. We ensure that your veneers are made from the highest quality porcelain and bonded using state-of-the-art technology.
How Do Porcelain Dental Veneers Work?
Most common veneer applications involve removing a fine layer of tooth enamel before applying the porcelain material, making room for a seamless fitting of the porcelain veneer and giving it the most natural appearance possible. Porcelain dental veneers can help adjust not just your tooth color, but also its size, shape, and spacing.
What Type of Problems Do Porcelain Veneers Correct?
- Discolored Teeth
- Worn-Down Teeth
- Chipped or Broken Teeth
- Misaligned, Uneven, or Irregularly Shaped Teeth
- Gaps in Teeth
What is the Procedure for Porcelain Veneers?
- Diagnosis and treatment planning: While we are here to help, we want to make sure you play an active role in planning your smile.
- Preparation: A mold is taken of your teeth and sent to the lab for fabrication. The veneer should be ready in approximately a week or two.
- Bonding: First, we place the veneer on your teeth with water or glycerin to check the fit and color. By this point, the color of the veneer is still adjustable by the shade of the cement used to adhere it before the tooth is cleansed with specific chemicals to achieve a bond.
Composite vs. Porcelain Veneers
Composite veneers have many advantages, namely their ability to remain cost-effective while not sacrificing quality. Direct composite veneers are sculpted onto your teeth rather than at a lab. The tooth-shaded resin is directly applied to teeth where it can be shaped, sculpted, and polished to elicit a more natural appearance.
While many patients prefer composite veneers to porcelain veneers, porcelain veneers can be a great option with proper care. Porcelain veneers are made of a more durable material than composite resin veneers and may last longer as a result. Porcelain veneers typically last between 10-15 years, while composite resin dental veneers last around 4-8 years.
How to Take Care of Porcelain Veneers
If you want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, then veneers are a good treatment option. Along with proper at-home care, such as brushing with a non-abrasive toothpaste and flossing daily, and regularly scheduled checkups every six months, they are sure to provide you with a beautiful smile for years to come.
You may experience some sensitivity to extreme temperatures after placement of your veneer. This is due to the amount of enamel left on the tooth after it has been prepped. This is normal and should subside in a few weeks time. If sensitivity persists, please do not hesitate to call us at 386-957-5270.
Additionally, if you are known for clenching your teeth (bruxism), please be sure to let us know. We may recommend a soft, durable night guard for you to wear that can minimize stress placed on your teeth while you sleep.
For answers to questions such as, "do porcelain veneers stain?" or for more information on how to get porcelain veneers in New Smyrna Beach, call 386-957-5270 to schedule a consultation today!

"The top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts on Tuesday said federal agents raided the New England Compounding Center, the pharmacy linked to a meningitis outbreak that has killed 15 people and sickened more than 200 others," Reuters writes.
The Boston Globe says the news is significant because "the probe of the Framingham [Mass.] compounding pharmacy at the center of a nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak has expanded to include criminal investigators. Agents from the US Food and Drug Administration were at the offices of New England Compounding Center in Framingham Tuesday afternoon."
And the Boston Herald says "investigators with the Food and Drug Administration and Framingham Police descended on the New England Compounding Center."
The Associated Press, as our colleagues at WBUR note, adds that "a spokesman for the New England Compounding Center confirms that investigators were at the Framingham company Tuesday but he had no further comment."
As NPR's Richard Knox has reported, "a steroid called methylprednisolone made by the New England Compounding Center has been linked to 214 fungal infections and 15 deaths across the country." The FD has also begun to look into the case of a patient who received a different steroid made by the same company and also contracted meningitis. That steriod is called triamcinolone acetonide.
Update at 7:40 p.m. ET. Criminal Investigation Opened.
NPR's Joe Neel writes that:
"The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the New England Compounding Center outside Boston that has been linked to more than 200 cases of fungal meningitis and 15 deaths. Federal agents were seen entering the company's offices this afternoon. The move came as Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., asked Justice to investigate whether the facility was operating properly under federal law — including whether it was illegally shipping controlled substances to customers. The company has recalled all of its products."

Eating a healthful diet and staying active during your pregnancy will not only benefit your growing baby, but it can also help you look and feel better. It can even help your labor and delivery go smoother, and make it easier to get back into shape.
Eating Well for You and Your Baby
Eating a variety of nutritious foods can help keep you and your baby healthy while you are pregnant. In general, aim to follow the latest version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
You do not need extra calories during your first trimester. But, you should be getting about 300 extra calories per day during your second and third trimesters to reach a total of about 1,900-2,500 calories a day. These extra calories should come from nutritious foods. Examples of snacks that contain about 300 calories include: 1 cup of nonfat fruit yogurt and a medium apple, a piece of whole-wheat toast with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, or 1 cup of whole grain cereal with ½ cup of nonfat milk and a small banana.
In addition to extra calories, you will need to increase certain nutrients, including folate and iron. Folate is important because it can prevent neural tube defects, like spina bifida. Taking folate and iron may offer additional benefits, like reducing the number of infants born with low birth weight and reducing infant mortality. Your doctor will recommend that you take a prenatal supplement to make sure you are getting enough of these nutrients. You can also eat foods high in folate and iron, like fortified breads and cereals, spinach, and broccoli.
Extra calcium is also needed during pregnancy to protect your bone density and help your baby's bones grow. You should consume the equivalent of 3 cups of milk per day to get the calcium you need (1 cup milk = 1 cup lowfat yogurt or 1.5 ounces lowfat cheese).
You also need to get enough iron. It helps your and your baby's blood carry oxygen. Iron-rich foods include lean red meats, enriched grain products, eggs, leafy green vegetables, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, beans and peas, raisins, prunes, and peanuts.
There are certain things you should avoid consuming when you are pregnant, including:
Alcohol – There is no established safe level of alcohol during pregnancy. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages while you are pregnant.
Fish that may have high levels of methylmercury – Avoid eating shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish while pregnant. These fish have high levels of methylmercury, which could harm your baby. You can safely consume up to 12 ounces of fish that is lower in methylmercury, such as shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, or catfish. Eat no more than 6 ounces of canned albacore (white) tuna or tuna steaks per week. Farm-raised fish may contain elevated levels of dioxin.
Soft cheeses and cold lunchmeats, hot dogs, and deli meats – Soft cheeses (such as Brie, feta, Camembert, Roquefort, Mexican-style soft cheese), cold lunch meats, hot dogs, and deli meats can contain bacteria that can harm your unborn baby.
Raw fish, meat, or poultry – These foods can result in food poisoning that may cause harm to your baby.
Nonfood items – Some pregnant women crave nonfood products, such as clay. This condition is called pica. You should avoid consuming these things and tell your doctor if you are having cravings for nonfood items.
You should also consider limiting your intake of caffeine. There is conflicting evidence about the harmful effects of caffeine. Caffeine has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. Most healthcare professionals believe that a cup or 2 of coffee per day will not harm your baby. Limiting your caffeine consumption during your entire pregnancy may be advisable, since we do not have full knowledge about the safety of caffeine.
If you are a vegetarian, are lactose intolerant, or have other dietary restrictions, consult your doctor or a dietitian. Advice can be given to help you plan a well-balanced, healthy diet to fit your lifestyle and needs.

Absence seizures are a type of epilepsy. This is a condition that causes seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal brain activity. These mixed messages confuse your brain and cause a seizure. An absence seizure causes you to blank out or stare into space for a few seconds. They can also be called petit mal seizures. Absence seizures are most common in children. They usually don't cause any long-term problems. They're often set off by a period of very fast breathing (hyperventilation).
Absence seizures often occur in children between ages 4 and 14. A child may have 10, 50, or even 100 absence seizures in 1 day, and you may not notice them. Most children who have typical absence seizures are otherwise normal. But these seizures can get in the way of learning. They can affect concentration at school. This is why getting treatment right away is important.
Not everyone who has a seizure has epilepsy. Often a diagnosis of epilepsy can be made after 2 or more seizures.
Absence seizures often occur along with other types of seizures that cause muscle jerking, twitching, and shaking. Absence seizures may be confused with other types of seizures. Healthcare providers will pay close attention to your symptoms to make the right diagnosis. This is important to ensure safe, effective treatment.
Most absence seizures don't continue into adulthood. But it's possible to have them at any age.
Like other kinds of seizures, absence seizures are caused by abnormal activity in a person's brain. Healthcare providers often don't know why this happens. Most absence seizures last less than 15 seconds. It's rare for them to last longer than 15 minutes. They can happen suddenly without any warning signs. Some hereditary conditions may increase the risk for absence seizures.
The easiest way to spot an absence seizure is to look for a blank stare that lasts for a few seconds. People who are having an absence seizure don't speak, listen, or seem to understand. An absence seizure doesn't typically cause you to fall down. You could be making dinner, walking across the room, or typing an email when you have the seizure. Then suddenly you snap out of it and continue as you were before the seizure.
These are other possible symptoms of an absence seizure:
Being very still
Smacking the lips or making a chewing motion with the mouth
Fluttering the eyelids
Stopping activity, such as suddenly not talking or moving
Suddenly returning to activity when the seizure ends
If you have jerking motions, it may be a sign of another type of seizure taking place along with the absence seizure.
You may have absence seizures for years before seeing a healthcare provider for a diagnosis. You may have staring spells without thinking of them as a health problem or a seizure.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test most often used to diagnose absence seizures. This test records the brain's electrical activity. It spots any problems that might mean an absence seizure. Sometimes the EEG is recorded over a few days (long-term EEG). It may include video at the same time.
These tests also can help to diagnose absence seizures or rule out other conditions:
Blood tests
Kidney and liver tests
CT or MRI scans
Spinal tap to test the cerebrospinal fluid
Absence seizures can affect your ability to do your job or go to school. So it's a good idea to see your healthcare provider about treatment.
These seizures can be treated with different medicines. The type of medicine that your provider advises will also depend on what other seizure disorder you may have. If you have more than 1 type of seizure disorder, you may need to take several medicines.
Taking your medicines exactly as your healthcare provider prescribed is one of the best ways to manage absence seizures. But you can also make some changes in your life to help prevent absence seizures. These include:
Get plenty of sleep each night
Find ways to manage your stress
Eat a healthy diet
Exercise regularly
Most people with epilepsy live full and active lives with medicine and other lifestyle changes. But it can be challenging at times to manage large and small life events when you have epilepsy. Depending on your age and the severity and type of epilepsy, you may need support with the following:
Behavioral and emotional issues. It's important to get enough sleep and manage stress when you have epilepsy. Stress and lack of sleep can trigger seizures. If you have trouble sleeping, talk with your healthcare provider about how to make sure you get enough sleep. Learn coping methods that will help you manage stress and anxiety.
Employment. With correct treatment, people with epilepsy can do just about any job safely and well. But some jobs with a high risk to public safety may not be a choice. Epilepsy is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This law prohibits discrimination against people with epilepsy and other disabilities.
Coping with discrimination and stigma . Children and adults with epilepsy may face discrimination. They struggle to overcome the stigma linked to this condition. Teach your family, friends, co-workers, and classmates about your condition. Let them know what to expect and how to help during a seizure.
Education. Children with epilepsy may be entitled to special services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Work closely with your child's teacher and school nurse to help manage epilepsy at school. It's important to balance safety and fun. Let your child have some age-appropriate independence. Let them do sports and other activities at school, when possible.
Driving. Each state has different driving laws for people with epilepsy. Licensing may depend on how severe seizures are and how well they are controlled. Think about using public transportation where it's available. If you keep having absence seizures, it may not be safe for you to drive.
Support and online resources. You may feel alone in dealing with day-to-day life with epilepsy. But many people have epilepsy. You can find local support groups through your provider or local hospital. Many online resources give tools and tips for managing this condition. Online social media support groups bring together people from all over the world who are managing their epilepsy. These groups provide support and encouragement.
If you have trouble managing your absence seizures, work more closely with your provider to find a better way to treat them.
Absence seizures generally last just a few seconds. You may have a blank or absent stare.
Absence seizures often occur in children between ages 4 and 14. But they can occur at any age.
Absence seizures are easy to miss. But tests and an assessment of symptoms can diagnose them.
Healthcare providers can usually help find the right mix of medicines and lifestyle changes to manage absence seizures.
Without treatment, these seizures can affect school, work, and relationships.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:
Know the reason for your visit and what you want to happen.
Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.
Bring someone with you to help you ask questions, and remember what your healthcare provider tells you.
At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your healthcare provider gives you.
Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. Also know what the side effects are.
Ask if your condition can be treated in other ways.
Know why a test or procedure is advised and what the results could mean.
Know what to expect if you do not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.
If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.
Know how you can contact your healthcare provider if you have questions.

A new young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript.
So, the new monk goes to the abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies. The Abbot says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son".
So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscript is held in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot. Eventually the young monk gets worried and goes downstairs to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall. His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.
The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?" In a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word is celebrate, not celibate!"
