I recently got my hands on a guidebook to Walt Disney World® for guests with type 1 diabetes that's given out at the Friends for Life® conference there. I was pleased to see that there's a resource that is specifically intended for me to navigate a successful, yet busy day at Disney World with a child who has type 1. We live in California and have been to Disneyland® many times with our kids, Kaitlyn included, but we have never been to Disney World. Taking on a park of that sheer size is no small feat and no doubt requires a lot of planning to see everything you want to see, find all of the services and dining options, etc. Not to mention, the things a parent of a child with type 1 needs to know, like the following (which you can also find here):
I was really pleased to see that the park would make an effort to accommodate some of our medical needs. By doing so, some of the worry is cut out of our day, and our family would be able to enjoy a normal trip! It reminds me of the time I discovered that Disneyland had a special location for families to take care of their infants, where mothers could feed and change their babies away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. Even the staff there dressed in Mary Poppins-like attire! It really made such a difference to me and gave me peace of mind for planning future visits.
About the author: My name is Kim. My daughter Kaitlyn (the third of our five children) was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just a few years after my nephew James was diagnosed with the same disease. I'm excited to pair up with my sister-in-law, Jen, to share our story with you!

Business Ideas in the News / October 19, 2012
On this day in 1862, Auguste Lumière, the French inventor was born.
The Lumière brothers were born in Besançon, France, in 1862 and 1864, and moved to Lyon in 1870, where both attended La Martiniere, the largest technical school in Lyon. Their father, Claude-Antoine Lumière (1840–1911), ran a photographic firm and both brothers worked for him: Louis as a physicist and Auguste as a manager. Louis had made some improvements to the still-photograph process, the most notable being the dry-plate process, which was a major step towards moving images.
It was not until their father retired in 1892 that the brothers began to create moving pictures. They patented a number of significant processes leading up to their film camera, most notably film perforations (originally implemented by Emile Reynaud) as a means of advancing the film through the camera and projector. The cinématographe itself was patented on 13 February 1895 and the first footage ever to be recorded using it was recorded on March 19, 1895. This first film shows workers leaving the Lumière factory.
Their film, Workers Leaving The Lumière Factory in Lyon is an 1895 French short black-and-white silent documentary film directed and produced by Louis Lumière. It is often referred to as the first real motion picture ever made. See it below.

As well known as she is for telling it like it is, Khloe Kardashian also seems to have a penchant for sending vague messages with social media and public appearances. The latest: Ol' Khlo seems to see herself, her style, or her life as a whole as requiring a "Parental Advisory Explicit Content" sticker.
She reportedly stepped out yesterday to get fro-yo and a mani wearing a sheer shirt by Alexander Wang that features the familiar warning label across her chest. She paired the designer top with tight white jeans and dramatic, gothy makeup.
Check out the look, which Khloe proudly flaunted on Instagram ...
Sexy! Though white jeans are a seriously risky look on just about anyone, Khloe managed to pull 'em off, I'd say. And if you're gonna do sheer, this is definitely the street-savvy way to go. (Unlike what lil' sis Kendall wore on the runway a little while back, amirite?) Out of all her family members, Khloe one of the most consistent class acts. So, who knows ... Maybe the whole "explicit" thing is just wishful thinking!
What do you think about Khloe's look here?

Rock News: Music's high and low notes
Joseph "Satch" Satriani (born July 15, 1956 in Westbury, New York) is an American multi-instrumentalist, known as an instrumental rock guitarist, who has been nominated for Grammy Awards. Early in his career, Satriani worked as a guitar instructor, and some of his former students have achieved fame with their guitar skills. Satriani has been a driving force behind other musicians throughout his career, as a founder of the ever-changing touring trio, G3, as well as performing in temporary positions with other musicians.
In 1988, Satriani was recruited by the The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger as lead guitarist for the singer's second solo tour. Later, in 1994, Satriani was the lead guitarist for Deep Purple. Satriani worked with a range of guitarists from many musical genres, including Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Larry LaLonde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Brian May, Patrick Rondat, Andy Timmons, Paul Gilbert, Adrian Legg, and Robert Fripp through the annual G3 Jam Concerts.
He is heavily influenced by blues-rock guitar icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, possessing, however, his own easily recognizable style. Since 1988, Satriani has been using his own signature guitar, the Ibanez JS Series, which is widely sold in stores. He has a signature series amplifier, the Peavey JSX, and a signature Vox distortion pedal, the Satchurator. He is currently the lead guitarist for the supergroup Chickenfoot.

Not everybody in Tampa Bay hates Buccaneers' head coach Greg Schiano.
Buccaneers' defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan came to the defense of his head coach Thursday, telling reporters Schiano was taking too much criticism.
"It definitely is not warranted," Sheridan told Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com. "And it may be hard for people on the outside who don't know Greg because some of the criticism he apparently is receiving, and I don't follow that, it definitely isn't warranted. I've worked for a lot of quality people in this profession, long before I ever came to the NFL, and I've certainly worked for quality people in the National Football League."
In Schiano's first 10 NFL games, he guided the Buccaneers to a 6-4 record. Since then? The Bucs have won just one game, a 22-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in last year's season finale. At the time, the Falcons had already clinched home field advantage and were resting players.
Schiano is now 7-16 as a coach and has started this season 0-7.
The Buccaneers will be in Seattle to take on the Seahawks at 4:05 pm EST Sunday.

Scholars Ask For Facebook's "Emotional Contagion" Study to Be Withdrawn
Thursday, July 17, 2014
Last month, Facebook announced that it had conducted an experiment in which it purposely showed a group of users only negative posts from their friends' news feeds. The premise was to test what the academics behind the research of "emotional contagion," the notion that moods can spread across networks. Well, everyone was annoyed at being manipulated, and the lead researcher in the study has apologized. The Electronic Privacy Information Center has asked for an investigation from the FTC, saying Facebook was duplicitous, manipulative, and failed to inform users of the experiment. Now, Maryland Law Professor (and friend of TLDR) James Grimmelmann, along with colleague Leslie Meltzer Henry and the faculty of the Berman Institute of Bioethics at Johns Hopkins University have asked the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences to retract the Facebook study.
Online Agitprop! Everyone's Doing It!
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
On the most recent TLDR, I spoke to Max Seddon, foreign correspondent for Buzzfeed, about some recently unearthed documents that show a massive online pro-Russia propaganda effort with ties to The Kremlin.
In that interview, Max made it clear that Russia is far from the only government that does this sort of opinion influencing, citing an AP report from a couple months ago about US efforts to sway public opinion in Cuba by creating its own "fake twitter." from the interview:
USAID set up an entire fake social network for cuban people to get around all the internet filters to Cuba that was meant to create some sort of thing that they could use to influence popular opinion in Cuba, which is closed off to the US, and it's very difficult to do well. because On the internet, people are smart, it's very easy to compare things, and use multiple sources of information and come to the right conclusions. They can tell when something is fake.
On Monday, Glenn Greenwald's The Intercept produced another example of this governmental internet meddling, this time from Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).

Vulfpeck Made Serious Bank From "Sleepify"
Wednesday, July 09, 2014
On TLDR #20, I spoke to Jack Stratton of the band Vulfpeck, who released an album of complete silence on Spotify called Sleepify and asked listeners to stream it while they slept so the band could tour without charging for shows.
The gambit was a surprising success, garnering quite a bit of press attention, and eventually arousing the ire of Spotify, who asked the band to remove the album from its service. In the aftermath, I was curious what kind of payout the band ended up getting for its efforts, so I got in touch with Stratton to see how it went. Turns out it went pretty well.
YouTube is Calling Out ISPs That Are Throttling Traffic
Monday, July 07, 2014
Recently, Netflix royally pissed off Verizon by calling out the ISP for slow streaming video. The two companies went back and forth for a while, with Verizon demanding that Netflix cut it out, and Netflix essentially saying "Ok, fine. But we might bring them back. You should serve your customers better." Now Google is offering an even more granular service called the "Video Quality Report," which will allow users to check out their YouTube streaming quality and compare to other providers in the area.

In Japan, they'll just arrest you.

Ok, Ok. We'll Talk About "Yo."
Friday, June 20, 2014
This week, the tech press did backflips over an app called "Yo." It's a messaging app that allows users to text the word "Yo." Nothing else. Just the word "Yo." Let that sink in for a second before we move on.
It was heralded as genius. it was derided as stupid. It was the subject of a conversation about meaning and subtext in online communication. It was given the avant garde treatment it deserved. Disregarding what was written about it, yo has cornered the internet's fickle attention long enough to enter the top 10 in the App store. By any metric, that's a victory.
We didn't write about it. Mostly because we thought there wasn't much to say that hadn't already been said. I think I acknowledged its existence on my twitter feed. Yo.

Match.Com Uses Facial Recognition Software To Pair Users With People Who Look Like Their Exes
Monday, June 16, 2014
When it comes to dating, people generally have a type. Blonds, brunettes, big noses, little ears, a person often finds an immutable set of physical characteristics attractive. It's just a fact. So enterprising online dating company Match.com is hoping to capitalize on this tendency. Partnering with an LA based company called Three Day Rule that matches people to dates using facial recognition software, users will be asked to send in pictures of their exes, which will be used to determine who they will be matched with on the site.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The works do seem to be "gummed up" on Capitol Hill. And President Barack Obama isn't the only one to say so.
Yet despite years of hand-wringing in both parties, little progress has been made toward changing congressional rules on filibusters, senatorial "holds" on presidential nominees and other stalling tactics.
Inhibiting forward motion is the fact that all lawmakers are keenly aware that their party is always just one congressional election away from losing — or gaining — majority control. Many GOP delaying tactics now decried by Democrats were used by the Democrats themselves just a few years ago when Republicans were in charge.
Adding to the present obstacle course on Capitol Hill is a sudden rash of investigations into Obama administration steps and missteps.

Margaret Berger: I Feed You My Love
Margaret Berger returns after far too long an absence with new single I Feed You My Love…
If you are playing catch up here is a quick summary of Margaret Berger's music career so far: She came second in Norwegian Idol in 2004, released an album that was ok in 2004, released another album that was bloody incredible in 2006 and er… well that is sort of it until now.
Previous examples of her amazing work include Samantha and Will You Remember Me Tomorrow.
Hit producing wizards Karin Park, Robin Lynch and Niklas Olovson are behind I Feed You My Love.
The song has a more rocky sound than the Pretty Scary Silver Fairy era and darker and more dramatic qualities. It is exactly where I would have expected Ms Berger to end up in 2013 and I am more than satisfied with the outcome.

1279 Tasting Notes
This smells awfully sugary sweet. It definitely smells like warm marshmallow. Or fondant. Yeah, fondant. I can't say as I'm too fond of either to be honest. I prefer marshmallows at room temperature and just as they are. And only whipped cream in my hot chocolate, thanks.
So yeah, I'm a bit concerned. All those fruit blends, where did they go?
The flavour is marshmallow spot on all right. There is lots of it too and I can also tell by the nuttiness underneath that we're dealing with a genmaicha base. But it's sooooooo sweet. And sticky. And sweet.
And rather too much for me, to be honest, which probably points back to aforementioned reservations about warm marshmallows. You know how sometimes you want to make tea sweeter? So you add sugar. What do I add to make it less frightfully sweet?
No, this is just not one for me. It's too sweet and too much and too… It's too much. Even my sweet tooth of considerable proportions can't keep up with this.
The boyfriend thought it was okay, though. I gave him the rest of my cup.
One more on this day, because were had missed a day earlier.
I knew this one would be in here. It has been so popular and so raved about that there was just no way it could not be in here. Welcome to Bizarroland.
In spite of all the ravings about it, I have only had a small fleeting interest in it myself, and I've always got over it fairly quickly again. I just prefer fruit blends, and while I think it's all sorts of fun that these blends are being made, I'm not really that interested in purchasing them. Whenever I've seen someone post about this blend, it has always inspired me to want pancakes, but only as a food, not as a beverage.
Now I get a chance to try it anyway, though, so here we go.
In our house we always have pancakes on saturday mornings, so it feels really weird for me to try this one on a wednesday evening… I tried to make the boyfriend guess what it could be, but when I told him that he wasn't think bizarre enough with his guesses of caramel (although he's close to something there), he got too bizarre. Frank, please don't ever make a blend flavoured with iguana steak and electrocuted marshmallows.
He was right about it smelling caramel-y. Knowing that it's maple syrup, I can recognise it as such, but if I hadn't known, caramel would have been my guess as well. I can also pick up some notes of warm butter, but not really the actual pancake.
The flavour has an initial burst of warm butter as well, followed by tea and something batter-y side by side. The batter-y note has that sort of flour-y texture to it like real batter, so while I wouldn't say I'm finding it spot on pancake, it's definitely something in that direction. The maple syrup shows up on the swallow and in the aftertaste and while it tastes more like regular caramel than maple syrup to me, it does leave that same sort of feeling in the mouth afterwards that maple syrup does. A bit like it's opening the palate a little bit. Regular caramel doesn't give me that sensation.
I'm finding it a quite pleasant blend. It's still not one where I will join the hordes in singing its praises, the horde is doing that quite well without me, but I am rather surprised to find myself enjoying the cup. It's very well done, but me, I prefer something fruity and I still prefer to have my pancakes as solid food.
(Had I had more than just for one pot, I would probably have tried mixing it with my apple flavoured black, since we prefer our pancakes with apple chunks in. I can't test that, though.)
So far there hasn't been any rooibos or anything else that I knew from the outset I wouldn't care for. The box is far from over, however, so I'm not counting my chickens yet. Merely pointing it out, because when I saw this label and before I read the text on it, I had a bit of a worry. I do remember this one coming out, but I was remembering it as a rooibos or honeybush thing. I'm pleased to find it was not.
The aroma is very orange-y and we have agreed that we can tell where the sherbet is coming from. It sort of smells fizzy, but then the flavour disappoints somewhat because it doesn't taste fizzy. Admittedly, if it did, it would be weird, but it's just sort of missing that fizz.
I can taste orange primarily and underneath that, raspberry. It seems like citrus is just a very dominant flavour for me and if something involves citrus, it's hard for other flavours to live up to that forcefulness.
This blend reminds me to of two things, both of them also from 52teas.
First it reminds me of that Cherry Cola Vanilla thingie that was one of the first blends from 52teas that I tried. I love Cherry Cola, but my problem with that one was, as with this one, the lack of fizz. Try as I might, I couldn't distract myself away from that.
Secondly, it reminds me of the Strawberry Orange Scone that I had recently, because the experience of the orange is the same as in this one. To me, those two blends are very similar and I'm having an almost identical reaction, although slightly in favour of the Strawberry Orange Scone, because that one isn't labouring under the lack of fizz.
I like this, but it's not one I'm disappointed I didn't have more of.
There was nothing on the 12th, because we were out all evening playing at being grown-ups with dinner and a Leonard Cohen theatre concert. But the next day there was this.
This sound much more up my specific field of preference than the other two, this one. I'm a little surprised by it though. I can't for the life of me recall having ever seen it before, especially because it rather seems like something that would have caught my interest when first blended. I expect it was probably in the summer, so maybe it was while we were away on holiday or something, and so I didn't pay attention.
My first association when I smelled the dry leaf was bubble gum and it's a thought I'm having difficulties really shaking. Secondary thought is that it smells exactly like a specific lemonade-y ice lolly that you can get in Denmark. That one is quite nice, although not a favourite. I'm not picking up much strawberry, mainly lemonade, and I can't find the base tea in the aroma at all.
The flavour is an entirely different matter. I get lots of lemonade and also plenty of strawberry and then a peek of base white underneath.
I was right. This is right up my specific field of preference this. Oh dear, I do wish I had noticed this one when it was actually posted…
I gather this is some sort of American sweet. Now, this strikes me as rather less peculiar than yesterday's popcorn, although it's not a sort of sweet we get in Denmark. In Denmark chocolate turtles are filled with a caramel and rum-y cream, so I will have to try and distract myself away from a firm conviction of how a proper chocolate turtle should be. Obviously my proper chocolate turtle is rather different from yours. The picture on the label make me think more of a snickers bar, only with a different sort of nut, so that's the image I will try to keep in my head. I've never in my life laid eyes on the sweet in question so I have to go by close enoughs.
The aroma is very honeyed. My aunt, who doesn't like honey, would hate this smell. I rather enjoy honey myself, and I always find it a pleasant note to find in tea. It also smells caramel-y and nutty, so from what I can tell, the aroma is pretty much a hit.
The flavour seems to be primarily caramel with a bit of chocolate on the sides. I can't immediately find any nuts in it, but I suspect they're sort of hiding below the other flavours. And as I write this, I discover them coming out gradually in the aftertaste. Nuts, check.
Nuts, caramel and honey. It's not quite a snickers bar, but it's close enough. I'm rather enjoying this, but again, I'm glad it's a small cup, because I think I could also easy have too much of this.
Our turtles are similar…chocolate covered caramel/nutty mostly…sometimes with nougat…but I like the chocolate/caramel/nuts better :)
First of all, let me just say what a totally weird concept this is for me. In Denmark, popcorn are served with salt. The end. No butter, no cheese, no caramel, no chocolate, no spinach, no coffee, no fruit, no curry, no fairy wing dust or whatever else whacky popcorn additions you lot can think up. No nothing. Just salt. Therefore, because it's so utterly bizarre to me, I admit I'm wary.
I'm glad the pouches are so small here. They are just the right size for the small pot, and that means a small cup for me and a small cup for the boyfriend. So if I strongly dislike it, I don't have a lot to go through.
Right, be positive, me.
In spite of the fact that I find this fairly bizarre, I do actually think it smells quite nice. It definitely smells like butter, but I'm not sure about the popcorn. I don't really know how buttered popcorn actually smells, do I, so I don't know exactly how drowned in grease you get them. But yeah, butter and also something sweet. I'm reminded more of jelly beans than of popcorn actually. (Oh wait a minute… I know there's a buttered popcorn flavoured jelly bean. I wonder if I've ever tasted that one or if I avoided it based on bizarreness…)
Okay, the tea definitely tastes like popcorn. Slightly singed popcorn perhaps, but defintiely popcorn. How… odd. I get butter in the aftertaste too, not really a flavour of butter, but more the way the mouth feels having just eaten something with real butter on it.
This is erm… Well, to be completely honest, it's exactly as weird and bizarre as I had expected it to be, but not as unpleasant as I had feared. It's not really something for me, this, but it could also be a lot worse.
Looks like once again me needing to make an announcement and this tea gets connected. It's rather less dramatic this time though, as I just wanted to say that we are off to England this morning and will return shortly before New Years Eve. I'm very unlikely to be able to be in touch at all while away, but I'll have tons of posts for you when I get back, ie. the entire 52teas Christmas box.
The choice of this particular tea is actually a backlog from yesterday. It has the boyfriend seal of approval although he was shocked to learn that it wasn't a black. This has since led to some confusion around here as I have to pay attention to whether he requests 'black fruity' or 'black and fruity' which are not the same things at all. Anyway, we had this yesterday, last cup of tea at home before Christmas.
Happy Christmas all, and I'll see you when I get home. You will definitely see me, the number of posts I've got lined up for then. :D
I was wanting to try this one when it was blended the first time, but I was woefully late to the party and when I got there it was all gone. All of it. Nothing left for me. But then after a few weeks I saw that it appeared to have been reblended because suddenly there were two pouches of it. I hurried up and bought one of them. Lucky for me Frank happened to make a tea of the week that caught my eye that day!
And so, this was this end of the pouch. It has taken us exactly three days from we opened it and until today where we say good-bye. Okay, yeah, it's the large pot that we share, which means I use a lot of leaf, but still… Sad-face.
The dry leaves smelled like sweets. They were berry-y and tart and ever so slightly sharp and nose-stabby, but still sweet. After steeping it's more berry and marshmallow in even quantities and quite sweet. The marshmallow standing out more in the wet aroma had me a little worried. I don't really want hot marshmallows, see…
The flavour killed any and all concern regarding the marshmallows. It's primarily blueberry with a smidge of marshmallow on the side. A plain honest fruit tea and right up my alley! Also, 'Boo-berry' is lots of fun to say!
We have really really liked this one, as is evidenced by previous mention of how quickly it's been used up. The boyfriend had a moment of shock, I think, when I told him to say goodbye.
Imperio! Frank! Make more Boo-berry!
Three days?! That must be some sort of record. It usually takes me a couple months to go through a pouch (admittedly I'm also drinking other teas at the same time).
I knew if I started making tea noises in the kitchen, the boyfriend would get up. :D Kitties self-fed today by knocking the food bucket on the floor, so we've been allowed to sleep in without having our toes cut to ribbons.
This one I bought solely because of the alternative name 'honey orchid dan cong'. It's an attempt to zero in on that lovely oolong from Shang Tea, the one that smells like creme brulee and which, presently, I can't remember the name of. Jade orchid something or other. Honey orchid sounded rather promising, I thought.
Secondarily, in my mind Dan Cong is indeed a classic oolong. If you ask me spontaneously to think of oolong, there are three that pops into my head immediately. TGY, Dan Cong and Da Hong Pao. Apart from TGY, I'm not too familiar with either of the two others, although I would like to be. I've just never explored them. I've had them a few times, but I haven't explored them to the point where I can tell you what they're like. This was to my own disadvantaged the other day when I was asked about the differences and similarities between a Rou Gui and a Da Hong Pao and was forced to tell the asker I had no clue. Loss of a chance to look smart, there. So yes, the secondary purpose to this particular purchase is also an attempt at an initial step down the road of discovery.
If this is to be a similar alternative to the Orchid Jade Something Something from Shang, then it has already failed on the aroma. It doesn't smell like creme brulee at all. How disappointing, when one has readied one's nose for that particular aroma. This does not really bode well for purpose number one, here.
For purpose number two, however, I get to properly familiarise myself with the aroma that it actually has. I feel it's layered. Very initially when sniffing, it's very floral. Not the dusty sort of floral that comes with flower scenting, but properly alive still attached to roots in the soil flowers. Along with that there is a distinct sweetness which is not really honey-y, but more sort of nectar-y. Very faintly underneath these notes, there is a woodsy, slightly earthy oolong-y aroma, and if I keep smelling the tea, it builds up and pushes the other two aromas to the background until all I can smell is the woodsy oolong.
Purpose number one, having tasted the tea, is more or less abandoned. Yeah, it's very sweet and honey-y and all that, but it's not… It's just not quite there. It's not what I was looking for. Purpose number one, we're still searching. I had small hopes for this one, because the Shang Jade Orchid Something Something was a Fujian and this is from Guandong, which, consulting available literature, is just to the south and southwest of Fujian, so I thought conditions might be sufficiently similar. I think they are, I'm just not looking at the right kind of oolong. I will keep searching.
Purpose number two, familiarising myself, I have to say it tastes exactly like it smells. First there is floral and honey-nectar-y sweetness, and then oolong swoops in and hijacks the flavour. When it cools a bit, that honey-nectar-y business is not to be trifled with however, and it puts up a damn good fight in the background. This makes the entire flavour profile seem very thick textured and creamy, in spite of a small amount of astringency. It's not quite caramel-y but maybe more sort of a proto-caramel. A caramel stem cell flavour, sort of.
And this brings us back to purpose number one, because hey! Now that it's cooled a bit and I get all that floral sweetness I just mentioned? We're suddenly a LOT closer to that Orchid Something Something Jade business, and I don't think I will rule this out as a more easily acquired replacement after all. It's not exactly the same, but given a little cooling time, I find it's suddenly got a lot of the same sort of qualities that I liked in the other one. The Shang oolong has this one beat for awesomeness, certainly, but this one (purpose number two) is also very very good all in its own right.
And that post looks a bit confusing even to me. I hope some sense can be wrestled out of it.
I tried their Feng Huan Dan Cong, and thought it was delicious. Using short steeps, I managed 6 or7 quality infusions. I hate that I forgot to review it on their website.
Angrboda, are you talking about the Clear Jade Orchid oolong from Shang Tea?
The only other Fujian tea with "orchid" in it's name that comes to mind is Qi Lan "Rare Orchid" Wuyi oolong:
Also worth trying if you can find a quality example of it. I have not tried the one linked to, but I just received an amazing Mi Lan "Honey Orchid" Dancong from Tea Trekker, so I imagine their other offerings are pretty good.
Geoffrey, yes that's the one. I was too lazy to look it up. :p
I've never had anything from teatrekker, but shopping with them would be even more unpractical than to attempt to shop from Shang again, because Teatrekker will only ship to the UK in Europe, so I would have to get friends or the boyfriend's family to receive and forward it to me in Denmark… And yeah, I'm just not going to bother, really… I've got a name to work with there, though, so I'll just keep looking. I'll be keeping an eye out for what you thought of this one when/if you post about it. :)

Easy Personalization
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Cards First of all, the entire site overall is very user friendly. Before personalizing everything I ordered samples to see the true quality of the products. I was shocked to see that not only was I sent the samples but I was also sent color swatches of my exact wedding colors based off of the colors I had put in. I also received a swatch of all the other colors they have available. I actually gave that sheet to my future sister in law because she is planning her wedding too. The quality is of the products is great. I love how everything can be personalized to your exact colors, pictures, and text. You can even order a sample of your card/magnet once you have personalized it. I did this because I am very particular on how things look. This site is much easier to use than some of the other sites I researched. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and I will definitely recommend others!!
Excellent quality
Photo Collection Save the Date Cards I loved the save the dates that I ordered! The paper was extremely thick and high quality - I definitely noticed that it was better quality than some of my friends' wedding invitations which have been from other websites. The designer did an excellent job of reading my special requests and putting together my design. Thanks again.
Odd sizing
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Cards Our save the dates were nice but the sizing was a little odd.
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards I am so pleased with our Save the Date cards we recently received! They are beautifully printed and came very nicely packed in a convenient box (that I am now using to store all my invitation "supplies"). The option to personalize each design with our own colors and style was awesome! So happy and would recommend Magnet Street to any bride!!
Loved the cards
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards We were really thrilled with how our save the date cards turned out. We loved this design but it was difficult to find a picture that would allow us to include that block of text without blocking my fiance's head. The Magnet Street staff was so accomodating! We went through several rounds of proofs (at lesat 6 or 7) until we had the design exactly how we wanted it. They helped us personalize the design so that it would carry the same look and feel, but wouldn't block either of our heads. Friends and family have been telling us how much they loved our save the dates! We felt that the quality and weight of the paper was excellent. However, we did think that the picture printed a little bit darker than we were expecting.

Florence RECOMMENDATIONS See all
3 Days in Florence: Suggested Itineraries
By Viator, September 2014
So much can be said for Rome and the surrounding south of Italy. But those who would sing the praises of its cobbled alleyways, ancient aqueducts, and bustling air of Italian joie-de-vivre, can only help but fall in love with its sister, Florence, for she is like Rome, only somehow more beautiful.
Day 1: Get Oriented
The cultural and historical impact of Florence is overwhelming. Cradle of the Renaissance and home of Machiavelli, Michelangelo and the Medici, the city seems unfairly over-blessed with art, culture and history. It is understandable then, that the labyrinthine alleyways get confusing. Orient yourself with a tour, either by bike, Segway, or the Hop-on Hop-off tour. In the evening, be sure to try some of the delicious local Italian fare in the grand Piazza della Repubblica.
Day 2: Art and Culture of Florence
The Uffizi and Accademia Galleries are world famous for their prisons (yes, prisons) and for housing numerous famous Michelangelos and masters of the 14th and 15th century Florentines, so consider starting your day off there. From here, a walk into behind-the-scenes Florence, where a tour of the Vasari Corridor will lead you on to Piazza Santa Maria Novella and its magnificent Dominican church. Here you'll see Brunellechi's famous crucifix and Masaccio's Trinity, Palazzo Davanzati, Ponte Vecchio and Dante's house. Wrap up your evening with some leisurely shopping, before falling asleep under the Italian stars.
Day 3: Day Trips from Florence
Florence has many wonders to behold, but one of those wonders is the legendary Italian Countryside. Easily accessible from Florence, the town of Pisa lies a scenic 102 kilometers west, and half of a day is all you'll need to see its famous Leaning Tower. In the afternoon, it would be a shame to miss out on the region's superb Chianti. After all, "when in Rome…"

Friendly staff, gave us good advice what to do, printed stuff for us. Really nice!
LA in general not a great city. The neighborhood could be better but as we slept early because of our jet lag we were not out that late. But we can imagine it can be scary late in the evening.
The location is close to Hollywood Boulevard and metro station Hollywood / Vine The staff is really friendly and will help you with anything The room was clean and quiet
The breakfast is laid out in a small room facing the lobby and there is no place to sit down
Hotel near red line metro. Clean basic rooms. Staff friendly. Close to a 7 store. Short walk to Hollywood Boulevard.
Location at night didn't feel safe. Breakfast area too small. Food not fresh. No hotel staff after 10 pm. No good restaurants for a mile.
Woke the people up at 1.30 am, plane was sooo late... Staff were great, room was clean, location is great. Parking is well organized. Would stay again.
breakfast could be better, and somewhere... Workers next building were demolishing walls during whole night... bad noises, but really, not up to hotel stuff.
Staff- all were very nice. Nishan (not sure if I spelled that right) was awesome! Location- very close to Hollywood Blvd Price
Noise- hard to sleep in with all of the noise. However, I wanted to be up early so for me it wasn't too much of a problem. Bathroom window didn't lock.
Vert friendly staff, good location
Very friendly and helpful staff! Close to the walk of fame and other places of interest.
Location, staff, cleanliness
There is no elevator
Location is good, staff is friendly, breakfast is good, the room is clean.
Wifi was not so good, there was no elevator, the room was small.
cleanliness, hospitality
The hotel was very well located, 10 min walking from the metro and close to many buses. Also very close to supermarkets and only 10min walking from the walk of fame! Breakfast was simple but good. Staff was very friendly.
Room was small but comfortable.
This hotel was in a great location. Very clean, staff were friendly and the bed was super comfy! Breakfast was also good. Excellent value overall!
It would be great if the hotel provided an iron/ironing board in the guest laundry. There wasn't one in the rooms or laundry, and the closest laundromat that did provide ironing was very expensive.
The hotel was really clean. The beds were comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly.
the location was excelent, close to supermarket and the Hollywood sign.
there were no lifts, ok for us but for older folk it may be a problem. breakfast was served in reception (very crowded small area) and very simple. but for the cost of the hotel it was perfectly acceptable.
good location...within walking distance to several attractions, Metro at doorstep. Subway a few meters away..
expected a sit down breakfast..not grab and go..a/c in the room very noisy and next door neighbor making a lot of noise , hard to get a good nights rest...
Free WiFi. Comfortable bed. Fridge.
No lift. Small room. Opening hours. Poor breakfast and facilities.
Excellent value, good breakie, great bed, overall could not complain
Quarto novo.
Café da manhã horroroso.
This hotel far exceeded our expectations. We were on our honeymoon and looking for a reasonably priced hotel near Hollywood Blvd that was clean and safe. This place met all that criteria. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Tip: Pizza place across the street is delicious!!!!
If we really had to pick one thing we didn't like it would be that there is no ice machine on-site, but it's really not a big deal as the 7/11 across the street will give you some ice if you ask.
Yellow stains on comforter and sheets. Hair on the sheets. Water pressure in shower too low, but sink water pressure is a fire hose.
The staff were extra friendly and helpful, the continental breakfast was a surprise bonus. The location was ideal close to everything ie transport, supermarket and Hollywood Boulevard as well as the Hollywood sign. And the provenance of the Hotel, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean have stayed there. The internet on the computer. The toiletries supplied. Luckily the staff were able to change our room to one on the ground floor as we had a lot of luggage. The staff made the experience even better. Have recommended the Hotel Hollywood to all and sundry as a great LA experience.
The internet only worked on 1 of the 2 computers.
Location is great and bathroom is very good.
Bed is too small for two people and there is no elevator. We stayed in a room on 4th floor. :(
Perfect for our 1 night stay on Hollywood. You see the Hollywood sign from the street corner & you can easily walk to the Chinese theatre, walk of fame etc. We caught the Flyaway Bus which dropped off round the corner & we departed LA via the Metro which is also around the corner. For breakfast we had bagels, fruit, tea and orange juice and took it up to our room.
There was a fair bit of street noise and music coming from the building next door, as well as sirens, car alarms etc. This didn't really bother us but it would disturb a light sleeper.
Staff was really nice.great location very close to Hollywood boulevard.Good deal.
Location, cleanliness
Slow WiFi and thin walls, we could hear neighbors upstairs every step and neighbors nextdoor speaking

found this in the bathroom at the Lisbon airport:
Then I saw the alps on the plane!
Then I saw Berlin:
When the plane from Portugal landed in Germany, and everyone saw the weather, there was actually a round of laughter through the airplane.
Fortunately for the city, it's terrible weather is canceled out by all the merry things going on in its swirling, crowded, loud, karneval-like streets filled with smiling pink-cheeked people:
Scherzo, scherzo. I really enjoyed my time in Berlin, and had I not had a brief stint at Romanticizing bleak weather, I wouldn't be as happy with Rome as I am now. Guess what? The Grimm brothers are buried here somewhere…
While in Berlin, I got to see two of my all-time favorite singers: Philippe Jaroussky and Jonas Kaufmann.
I died.
Just… LISTEN to this:
I saw Jaroussky first, and was blown away by his take on a program of French "melodie"'s greatest hits. Even with a stodgy Berliner crowd, he got a standing ovation, and performed FOUR encores. It was unbelievable!
Just two days later, I got to see Jonas Kaufmann perform a fabulous recital in the Philharmonik hall. Here are a few clips of the recital on his website:
And just for kicks, if you liked the stuff above, listen to this (which was also on the program):
And let's not discount the appeal of watching an entire evening of this:
The man was applauded for FORTY MINUTES, and performed so many encores, he eventually had to sweetly tell the audience that he was awed by our reaction and truly had nothing more he could sing. After thanking us for loving him so much, he said there was one more piece he could sing over the shoulder of the pianist, so he did, and we all clapped and clapped and finally went home.
And by went home, I mean went out to one of Berlin's most hoppin' clubs and listened to some effing incredible DJ's (Lindstrøm, DJ Sneak, Jesse Rose, Oliver $, and Axel Boman) into the wee hours of the night.
So that's that. Here's a fun picture that was in the Schönefeld airport:
No matter where I go… the Vatican is always there when I'm least looking for it.

Minestrone Soup
Minestrone (from a few different sources, combined into a new recipe)
-4 cups vegetable broth
-4 cups diced tomatoes (canned are fine, if you want to go that route)
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-2 cups carrots, chopped
-1/2 onion, diced
-1 tablespoon minced garlic
-2-3 stalks celery, chopped
-3 zucchini, chopped
-1/2 tablespoon dried basil
-1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
-Large pinch of Italian Seasoning
-2 bay leaves
-1 14.5-ounce can Cannellini beans
-1 14.5-ounce can dark kidney beans
-1/2 small can tomato paste
-About 1-2 cups cooked short pasta (like Ditalini, Alphabet, or Orzo)
1. Saute carrots, onion, and garlic in olive oil over medium heat in a dutch oven. Cook until tender.
2. Add tomatoes with juice, celery, zucchini, beans, seasoning, and tomato paste to the pot. Add broth. Stir well.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for at least 30 minutes.
4. When ready to serve, add the cooked pasta. Remove bay leaves and serve. Top with parmesan for a vegetarian option.
-Serves at least 8 generously as a main course.
Note: This makes a *lot* of soup. SO, another benefit of this tasty dish is that it's also economical! We froze our leftovers, which I think will work out fine. I'm looking forward to busting it out for an impromptu meal.

I found this recipe on Pinterest, and am going to try it for Christmas Eve dinner. We go to church on Christmas Eve, so I wanted something light and delicious to have when we get home. Have you ever tried this is a crockpot?
- December 21, 2011 at 7:29 AM
- Heather said...
I haven't tried it in a crockpot, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I'm not sure how the pasta would work out (I'm not much of a crockpot aficionado), so I'd probably make that beforehand and throw it in once you get home.

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 15: Designer Michael Kors attends the Project Runway 10th Anniversary NY Times Square Outdoor Runway Event at Times Square on June 15, 2012 in New York City. (Photo by Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images for A&E)
Make it work, Michael Kors!
Glittering gold watches are nothing new to the "Project Runway" judge, whose latest limited-edition jewelry pays homage to his hometown and favorite city in the world.
According to WWD, "New York" is displayed in a swirly script on the dial, and a diamond embellishes the number 12. Even the back casing shows the city some love, with an etched graphic of its skyline.
"I like the idea that our jet-set customers can wear this watch anywhere in the world and still have a piece of New York with them," Kors told WWD.
While his normal gold watches sell for $250, Kors' limited-edition piece is set to retail for $650 at michaelkors.com.

Hey Mattie...please show me where a "State" law can take presidence over "Federal law",i.e.,the Constitution. If they could, the U.S. vs Arizona case regarding dealing with "undocumented" would never have made it to the Supreme Court. States CANNOT pass laws that conflict with existing Federal law, so could you please site a case that supports your position. Thank You

I didn't have any Cajun spice blend on-hand, but used Creole seasoning in its place and it was awesome!!! Will definitely make again!
Bayou Pasta with Chicken
keiki1129 Posted: 10/12/10
KamraRaleigh Posted: 06/25/12
I have made this several times, and it always gets rave reviews. Super delicious! I only do 3 things differently: 1. I use my own homemade Cajun seasoning, instead of store-bought. 2. I time it so that everything is done at the same time, so I can serve it hot. As written, the sauce gets cold before it's needed. 3. The picture shows parsley, I think, although the recipe doesn't call for it. I use sliced green onion tops, instead, and sprinkle them on with the tomatoes.
bmbruner Posted: 07/11/12
I substituted whole wheat penne for the pasta. The chicken was very tasty and flavorful. It was very yummy.
