Burning SkyI long to feel the burning skyignite my dim and faded eyes.I long for crimson cloud's caressto light a spark upon my breath,and wrap it's fire about my heels;I long to feel.'til ash becomes of embers brightI long to lie within the lightand dance amidst it's dying heat,this sky, this sun, my one retreat.'til morning, I'll pretend it's real;I long to feel.
The Hummingbird AwakesThe hummingbird awakes and brightly singsThe rising sun caught in her feathered breastMy fingers pluck a song from golden stringsaccompany as she performs her bestThe trees extend their limbs with windblown graceA burst of color strewn across the skyMy bare feet feel their age-old bark's embraceTheir stories heard within a leaf-lined sighThe grass now rests beneath my shoeless feetThe sky beneath each clouded fingernailAnd when the never-ending day's completeI'll tell the world each sunlight-soaked detailHow long I've waited, frozen in the snow;my lovely hummingbird, I've missed you so.
A different kind of sunriseA different kind of sunrisesoon shall shatter our horizon,and I shall sweep my handsacross the skyuntil the air paints wordsupon my arms.The dustiest corners of my mind willsoon forget suppression,and all shall seethe acrylics in my eyesand the stillframes in my fingers;and I'll be followed bythose wishing to seek outtheir own symphonyfrom between the seven layers of sunlightin their skin.A different kind of sunrisesoon shall ignite thedew-drenched earth,and from my battered rooftop I shallwatch it come.
Never Rest AgainThis world's strange workingsare far beyond my comprehension.All I know is that youwoke something in methat will never rest again.I am a grain of sand among vast oceans,but I hold the universein my hands.
Spring ThunderstormClouds gatherabove a shivering landscape,and it's time for our lipsto cease the utteranceof empty words.Raindrops find their waythrough open windows,and the drapes caress the windas my fingertips discoverthe heat of your skin.The sky ignitesbetween our lips,and in your eyes I seethe universe.Stars burning,thunder rolling,infinity forever shiftingbetween us.Lightning strikes,and our hearts are no longertimid metronomes,but a thunderstorm of early Spring;holding eternity withinevery drop of rain.

Fly Away With MeLet's draw a map that leads west.Drive straight into the sunset.Blast the music and ride with the wind.Escape the mess we grew up in.One day we'll reach the coast,Hitch a ride on a sail boat.We'll sail the seven seas,You and me.Forget the compass. And If the seas get rough,We'll grow wings.Fly away,To the clouds, drifting.Look down on the patchwork world,Smile at it, for what it's worth.Jail break from their cage,Like nomads, or birdsIn the sky we'll be freeJust you and me,Defying gravity.

Paper wingsShe heard once that love grew out wings,And believed, out of so many things,That her beloved one would make her proud,And give her the strength to reach for the clouds.On her arms were pretty feathers,So delicate and made of paper,But were enough for her to fly,And one day get to touch the sky.But she loved a woman, that you couldn't get,Just the thought of it made you sweat.To you it was gross, odd, unnatural,Against what they taught you in the chapel !Threw on her the hate of a god she didn't know,She thought she was human, you said it wasn't so.Told horrible things that tore her heart in two,Her love, her life was broken, all because of you.She knew she was a sinner, and didn't sleep for so long,Everywhere in the street, she'd hear the same old song.The same harsh words, that bursting her mind,She needed an escape, or a place she could find.And you, with your hate and your words,Brought a candle near her feathers,And watched as she fell into the deep,Contented

Emergency crews in Pinellas County say six people have now been rescued from a pleasure boat sinking off the coast.
Florida Fish & Wildlife and the PCSO Marine Unit each sent a boat to pull victims from the 24-foot boat, which is about six miles off the coast of Madeira Beach.
All six are said to be "fine," according to officials. They are headed back to John's Pass.
Deputies say there were about three to four foot waves, when the vessel started taking in some waves. The boat pump did not work, and the vessel started to roll over, authorities said.

Marine Maj. Joe Skryd, a military deputy for supply chains solutions, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, presents Bill Nolan, a Defense Contracts Management Agency employee, and his grandson Tristan Nolan with tokens of appreciation from Navy Rear Adm. John G. King, the commander of NAVSUP WSS, and the Marine Corps in recognition of the six-year-old's generous donation of his birthday party gifts to the Toys for Tots Program. Toys were gathered up after Tristan's birthday party at his grandfather's house, Dec. 8, in Berwyn, Pa.

Selfless giving is second nature to members of the Nolan family.
Six-year-old Tristan Nolan continued in that tradition for the second year in row by giving away the toys he received at his birthday party, Dec. 8, in Berwyn, Pa., to the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots program.
When asked why he was being so generous to other children, Tristan casually replied, "Because I wanted to!"
Tristan's interest in donating his toys was spurred by seeing a Marine in front of a donation bin in 2011, and thinking it would be "neat" to get personally involved, explained his proud father, Scott Nolan.
Bill Nolan, Tristan's grandfather and a financial analyst with the Defense Contracts Management Agency located at the Naval Support Activity Philadelphia, raised his children to be generous and is proud to see them raise their children the same way.
"It's nice that our children think of others and know the true meaning of Christmas. People are our greatest assets and our family is our net worth," Nolan continued, adding that his granddaughter, Maura, has been doing fundraising for the Alfred I. duPont Institute since she was five years old- she is now eight. In addition, she donates her own hair, when it is long enough, to an organization that constructs wigs for children who are cancer patients.
Bill and his wife, Dori, acknowledged that their family is blessed in many ways and are extremely proud that their children and grandchildren are constantly thinking of other children, wanting them to enjoy a better life too.
"We can all make a difference to improve the quality of life [for others]," Nolan said.
Marine Maj. Joe Skryd, a military deputy for supply chains solutions, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, was on hand to officially accept the toys and to recognize Tristan and Bill. Skryd presented Toys for Tots Certificates of Appreciation to both and recognized Tristan with a hand written note and Commander's Coin from Navy Rear Adm. John G. King, the commander of NAVSUP WSS.
"It was a pleasure to meet Tristan and his family," said Skryd. "I told many people about Tristan's holiday gesture prior to making the trip to his home. I have an 8-year-old son and I am sure he would have great difficulty watching new toys exit our home. Tristan never hesitated. Tristan is the definition of 'holiday spirit.'"
Skryd added the Nolan donations to those collected at NSA Philadelphia as part of the base's annual Toys for Tots drive. In all, more than 500 toys were donated by the civilian and military personnel on base.
The Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program is an official activity of the U.S. Marine Corps and an official mission of the Marine Corps Reserve. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver hope in the form of a new, unwrapped toy to as many less fortunate children as possible during the holiday season.
A field activity of the Naval Supply Systems Command, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support is the U.S. Navy's supply chain manager providing worldwide support to the aviation, surface ship, and submarine communities. Formerly known as the Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP), NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support provides Navy, Marine Corps, joint and allied forces with products and services that deliver combat capability through logistics. With over 2,000 civilian and military personnel employed at its two Pennsylvania sites, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support's Philadelphia site supports aircraft while its Mechanicsburg site supports ships and submarines.

Hand escorted the bikers to the Phantom Ranch station, where she took them inside one by one and questioned them--name, social security number, "you do know the park's closed, don't you?", etc. The bikers were still smiling and joking around, guessing they would just be issued citations and allowed to continue their ride. Then Hand announced she and another ranger were going to look through their packs.
The search yielded 18 grams of marijuana, 15 grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms and assorted paraphernalia, scattered among four of the five's packs and bike bags (only Forest was clean). Unbeknown to the busted bikers, Hand had also run their names through a national law enforcement database to check for outstanding warrants, and two of them were red-flagged (both warrants later turned out to be cases of mistaken identity).
Herring had been following these events via radio from the ranger headquarters on the South Rim. "At that point, she was down there with five individuals who were in the park illegally, who were exhibiting a disrespectful attitude toward the park and the ranger, and who were in possession of controlled substances. We also thought two of them had outstanding arrest warrants. Based on these factors, we decided she needed immediate back-up."
Enter the helicopter--a Park Service Bell 206 carrying, the bikers say, eight to ten heavily armed rangers in orange jumpsuits and bright red bulletproof vests. Herring says that's "a bunch of bullshit." He says it was only him, one other ranger and the pilot, wearing standard sidearms. The orange jumpsuits are standard for helicopter flights, he says. Herring said he and the other ranger were wearing bulletproof vests, ". . . but they were under our uniforms. And they weren't big flak jackets or anything. I doubt they were really noticeable."
Either way, both sides agree on what happened once the copter landed on the helipad at Phantom Ranch--the bikers were officially placed under arrest, separated to different corners of two nearby volleyball courts, handcuffed and put in leg irons.
Serious buzzkill.
"There were some sad faces once we got there," Herring says. "I think they realized the situation was a little more serious than they had bargained for."
Rama and Wheeze were the first two loaded onto the copter. Rama claims one of the rangers told him as it took off, "The pilot's safety is our primary concern. Don't make any sudden movements. We'll shoot you if we have to." Long Tall and Forest were next. The final rider, Dangerous Dave, had to be lifted to the copter in a rescue basket because the sun had set and Park Service regulations prohibit copter landings below the rim once the sun is down.
The ride up, all five bikers say, was outstanding. "I was disappointed at first because I've never touched the water of the Colorado, and I was really looking forward to that," says Forest. "But then they flew us over it, so I didn't feel so bad."
"The copter ride was certainly as spectacular as the descent on bikes," says Rama. "It was once in a lifetime. I mean, a sunset ride below the rim. You can't even buy that [a 1986 law prohibits commercial flights inside the Grand Canyon]."
The biker pauses. "But then, I guess we did."
Topside, the prisoners were taken by car to the ranger station on the South Rim, booked and put in a holding cell, still shackled. On the way, they heard a bulletin come over the CB that the park would reopen to the public the next day. "We got in just under the wire," says Wheeze.
Once they were all in the cell, Dave started to perform a chiropractic adjustment on Forest. The rangers intervened. "They said, 'Excuse me, I don't know what you're doing, but stop touching him please.'" While the bikers stewed, one of the rangers passing the cell jokingly referred to them as "The Sedona 5."
Not bad, the bikers thought.
Wheeze had brought along a fat cash roll, "just in case," and he had enough to bail out himself and Forest (the only one without drug charges). The other three sat in the cell for two hours before the rangers released them on their own recognizance. "They said they couldn't keep us there overnight," says Rama, "and they didn't want to haul us to Flagstaff."
Before they left for home, the five asked about their bikes, and the rangers said they were still down at Phantom Ranch. "I don't see why they had to make us dump our bikes and go in the copter," says Rama. "I mean, I appreciated the ride, but it seems like if they wanted to punish us, it would have been better to make us ride up and then arrest us. Or, better yet, why not take the front wheel off each of our bikes and say, 'Okay, see you guys at the top!' Now that would have harshed us."
Ten days later, the Sedona 5 appeared before magistrate Verkamp to accept a plea bargain offered by Park Service law enforcement specialist Dave Swickard, the government prosecutor in the case. They all pleaded guilty to violating a park closure, bicycling in a prohibited area and, where appropriate, misdemeanor marijuana possession. The Park Service dropped the mushrooms and paraphernalia charges. Each biker was ordered to pay $244 restitution for the helicopter flights (which Herring says cost exactly $1,220) and given a $250 suspended fine for the criminal offenses. They also had to forfeit their bikes, which Rama estimated were worth a total of $4,000. Herring says the bicycles ". . . are now in the ranger cache. We let the Boy Scouts ride them on perimeter patrols sometimes."

One thing for sure is quit making our country a magnet. If you are here illegally and have a baby, it is NOT a U.S. citizen. If you use an emergency room you have to pay. Only citizens should have the right to a free education, if you are here illegally you have to pay for schooling. Pass the E-verify act that would prevent illegals from working and taking American workers jobs. No forms in any language but English. Voter ID. Then we should have a "comprehensive" way to have temporary workers, if needed.

Why China Could Affect Your Portfolio in the Near Term
Robinson is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There is evidence that Chinese manufacturing activity is slowing down. Readings on China's PMI showed a slight but constant contraction. One of the consequences is that the prices of several metals may experience downward pressure. Copper comes to mind since the commodity is often regarded as the industrial activity barometer. Since manufacturing is contracting, it would be a good idea to stay away from these stocks.
Copper miners have strong headwinds! Be careful!
Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) is a miner of copper, gold and molybdenum. It has recently diversified its operations to oil exploration and production with the incorporation of McMoran. The company trades with a price-to-earnings ratio of 9.2, compared to the industry's average of 10.6. Its revenues remained unchanged at $4.58 billion, but its net income declined by $100 million to $648 million.
One concern for investors may be the company's dividend offer. Although the company pays a 4.5% dividend of $1.25 per share, its free cash flow declined from $94 million to $26 million. With copper prices down, revenues may continue to fall and its free cash flow may be negatively affected.
With China's expectations of slower growth in the interim, the prices of copper may not rebound. Deutsche Bank expects the supply of copper between 2013 and 2015 to exceed demand by an average of 500,000 metric tons per year. This will hurt Freeport-McMoRan's exports to China, and thus its revenues.
This decline in revenues may be partially offset by the company's oil exploration and production section. Crude oil prices jumped significantly to mid $100s in the last month. Investors should delve through the third quarter earnings release to discover how much the oil sector has aided for the company's revenues.
Southern Copper Company (NYSE: SCCO) produces copper, silver, zinc and molybdenum. It trades with a price-to-earnings ratio of 13.0, above the industry's average of 10.6. Its revenues declined by 7% to $1.6 billion, and its net income declined by 20% to $495 million.
Investors earn $0.80 per share yearly on a 2.88% dividend. I believe the company's dividend safety is higher at this point in comparison with Freeport-McMoRan. The company's free cash flow did shrink, however, ending at $278 million as compared to $543 million a year ago. If the free cash flow continues its decline, the company's dividend offer may be in serious jeopardy.
Southern Copper's stock also trades in high correlation with copper prices. As a result, if China creates a copper surplus then the commodity prices will go down; this could make the stock trade at much lower levels. Investors should stay away from the company for the time being.
This company may perform better
Vale (NYSE: VALE) is a Brazilian metals and mining company. It produces copper, iron, and other metals. The company trades with a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.3, compared to the industry's average of 50.8. Its revenues remained unchanged at $10.9 billion in the last quarter, but its net income declined by 20% to $3.1 billion.
Vale offers a 5.5% dividend to its investors, which equals $0.75 per share. What's more important, though, is that its free cash flow increased by 10% to $321 million. This means that the overall stability of the dividend is good in the interim.
Even though Vale may be regarded as an income stock, the political unrest in Brazil should not go unnoticed. There have been several riots in the country because the government is spending large amounts of money in the Soccer World Cup and Olympics venues. The Brazilian government is enacting acts to reform the taxation from mining industries, which could place Vale in unnecessary trouble.
There is the copper issue to consider as well. Low prices of the commodity mean lower operating margins. Before jumping on Vale, investors should look for an overall in the industrial metals prices. It would also be wise to wait until the waters calm down in Brazil.
A good foolish wrap-up
China's slowdown in its industrial activity seems more real. Copper prices have steadily declined, and miners of copper and other industrial metals have paid the price through lower revenues. Therefore, I believe that investors should stay away from all of these stocks for now.

Media Decoder | New York Times :: Just as print publications across North America are cutting newsroom staff and daily publication schedules, Politico is expanding. This week, the news outlet is starting to hire 20 more reporters and editors to help increase its coverage on the economy and military. Jim VandeHei, executive editor of Politico, said these journalists were being hired to expand its expensive subscription service, Politico Pro, which is often bought by lobbyists and trade associations. Politico is also adding 20 more employees to its business side.

Vote of the week: Have you ever spent Christmas at a theme park?
Written by Robert Niles
It's Christmas Eve, and on behalf of all the employees here at Theme Park Insider (okay, well, on behalf of me, then), I'd like to wish everyone reading the site a very happy holiday season, and to thank you for your support over the past year.Tweet
Thanks to Theme Park Insider reader TH Creative for sending along this photo of Main Street U.S.A. at Walt Disney World, Christmas 1982.
Typically, I run the vote of the week on Friday, but since that's Christmas Day this year, I figured no one would read it. So it's coming at ya a day early this week.
And while we're on the topic of what people do - or don't do - on Christmas Day...
For those of you who have spent Christmas Day at a theme park, please share a favorite story about that experience, in the comments. And everyone else, heck, just tell us what you'll be up to this year (spend the day at home with family; spend the day at a airport or roadside shelter, watching the blizzard; movies and Chinese food; etc.).
And, again, thanks for reading Theme Park Insider. Be sure to join us next week, as we recap the year, and the decade, in theme parks. Merry Christmas, everyone!

I haven't - but I will be tomorrow!
So, no today, but yes tomorrow :).

As a child we used to spend every christmas at Disney. We would vacation from New Hampshire for 3 weeks on Disney property! I have fond memories of Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day! Siting on top of the train station watching the parade with my family! Drinking hot cocoa in my souviner mug and sharing popcorn and white chocolate covered strawberries! Christmas Night we always went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Contemporary! We would get dressed up and eat like pigs!! lol!

A couple of years back i managed to convince all three couples and there kids to go to disneyland paris (we being English and never have been to any disney park)felt this would be a once in a lifetime trip so tried to make it as special as we could, so we plumpted for the disneyland hotel ! for those who have never been, the hotel sits across the main entrance to the magic kingdom, and is the closest you can get, We arrived the day before christmas eve and left the day after boxing day and i have to say it was the most magical christmas we have ever had ! it was freezing and the language barrier did get in the way a little, and the french did seem rather abrupt to be polite.... But riding Space Mountain on christmas day was the best present we could ever have. This trip started the disney tour off and now i only have tokyo & hong kong left to visit, but none of them not even florida at christmas has replaced the utter Magic of that Holiday ! nor have i seen so many charcters doing signatures or extra entertainers at any other park at anytime of year ! and because the french celebrate on differant days to the english the park was so quite, no qeues at all and till the day we come home, when things seemed to return to normal. And even this year year we have all said we want to go back to paris again in a couple of years when the latest addition to the family is old enough to handle it, even though we have been to the other parks (usa) we still felt more magic in paris, Oh and the hotel was out of this world i have never been to any other disney hotel and got the same level of close interaction with the park's, it was worh not having to drive,bus or tram to the parks ! It was just Magic ! !
From 220.127.116.11 on December 24, 2009 at 6:35 PM
No but I would love to do it
From 220.127.116.11 on December 24, 2009 at 9:52 PM
5 years ago, my mom had asked what my brother and I would like for Christmas, and we had said to hit the parks, obviously a joke. Mom took it seriously and we went out to Universal and got Annual Passes on Christmas Day. It almost felt like we had IOA to ourselves, since it was Christmas morning, and overcast. Who else would show up at a theme park under those conditions besides my family?
From 184.108.40.206 on December 24, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Did go to Magic Kingdom, didn't go on many rides or attractions, DID queue 3 hours for the haunted mansion, didn't eat a Christmas dinner, DID eat a chicken burger in a sit down restaurnat as thats all we could book for.
Would I spend Christmas day at Disney again? No way.
Tomorrow I'll likely spend a few hours at Seaworld or Universal with no expectations of getting on anything.
Merry Christmas everyone :)
From Mark Kausch on December 25, 2009 at 3:55 AM
So, Jason, how did you vote?
Christmas is probably the only holiday I haven't spent at a theme park. I did start a tradition back in the day of spending New Year's Eve at Disneyland followed by New Year's Day morning at the Rose Bowl Parade. Begin pretty young, that "tradition" lasted all of two years, as I remember. Friggin' Pasadena streets are coooold that early in the morning!
From TH Creative on December 25, 2009 at 9:31 AM
My fondest theme park Christmas memory was working crowd control for the Candlelite processional in 1982. The event was still held in the Magic Kingdom, with the choir and orchestra set up in Town Square. It was amazing watching the processional move down Main Street USA from the castle.
Merry Christmas.
From Robert Niles on December 25, 2009 at 11:41 AM
Let me second any recommendation to visit Universal Orlando over the Christmas holidays. Not only do the parks offer a good amount of holiday cheer, the Orlando-area crowds seem to lock in on the Disney parks during these weeks, leaving the Universal parks (especially IOA) relatively free of crowds.
Now, this is my opinion based on a small sample of visits over the years. (I live in Los Angeles, not Orlando, though I do have family in Celebration.) But I've had good luck with the non-Disney parks (SeaWorld, too) over Christmas.
From Anthony Murphy on December 25, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Technically, no, but I did have Christmas Dinner at Yachtsmen Steak House. Very good!
I have been in a park for the 4th of July, New Years Eve, and New Years' Day
From Joshua Counsil on December 25, 2009 at 2:04 PM
We've gotten trips to theme parks as Christmas gifts, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a theme park on Christmas. We like to go on New Years Day, when the decorations are still around but the crowds aren't.
At the risk of sounding politically correct, Merry Christmas.
From TH Creative on December 25, 2009 at 2:10 PM
The photo at the top of this thread was snapped in late December 1982. I was working as a Jungle Cruise skipper (greatest theme park attraction ever, ever, ever ... next to 'Men In Black: Alien Attack.') and I was on my way into work.
And there was not a soul on Main Street USA.
Just me and my Canon Sure-Shot.
From Doug Kelley on December 25, 2009 at 6:08 PM
Yep, both WDW and DL. But I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who hasn't been there a lot because the crowds are huge and people don't get a lot of riding done. But, just to soak in Christmas they way it SHOULD be, there's no better place.
From Brady Allen on December 25, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Don't be to mad at me but I've just arrived today at WDW. I'm submitting this between courses at Narcoosee's at the Grand Floridian.(definitely recommend) After I finish my Lobster we are going outside to watch the Fireworks. Then back inside for dessert and hopping in the boat to the MK to watch the Light parade at 11:00.(best timing ever)
Merry Christmas everybody.
From Joshua Counsil on December 25, 2009 at 8:41 PM
I'm still gonna hold it against you, Brady.
From Beth Olliges on December 26, 2009 at 12:55 AM
My boyfriend and I made our first theme park Christmas trip two years ago, to Walt Disney World. We flew in on Christmas Day, and both being huge Gary Sinise fans, we really wanted to catch the 8:15 Candlelight Processional he was narrating. However, with our flight due to land just after 6:00, we knew time would be very tight.
Amazingly, everything worked out: our Magical Express bus left shortly after we boarded, we were first in line to check in at Caribbean Beach, then rushed over to the bus stop, and guess which bus pulled up -- Epcot! We had to stop at Guest Relations to process our annual passes, then started power walking through Future World, knowing we'd have to make it all the way to the other side of World Showcase. We kept saying, "We'll stop and look at decorations later!"
Then we got to the Lights of Winter. Our power walk simultaneously halted, our jaws dropped and we both stood there in absolute awe and wonder. We agreed it was one of the most beautiful things we'd ever seen, and slowly walked through the archway, as if in a daze... (How could Disney make the horribly misguided decision to remove this beautiful display? We consider it right up there with the Osborne Spectacle of Lights at DHS and Castle Dreamlights at MK.)
Upon reaching the other side of the archway, the urgency of our task returned, and we continued our power walk through World Showcase. We didn't make it into the CP seating area, but were among the first to line up for standing room behind the amphitheater! We had a terrific view, and were near a speaker, so we heard every word, every note! After the Candlelight Processional, the most urgent order of business was FOOD (which we'd neglected in all our rushing). This even took precedence over IllumiNations, so you know we were ravenous!
After a bite to eat at Mexico (at least hearing IllumiNations and seeing a few fireworks), we wandered toward the exit, now taking the time to photograph all the decorations. We had time to stroll, because it was an Extra Magic Hours night at Epcot! When we finally left the park a few hours later, the tummy rumblings were beginning to return, and one of the few 24-hour eateries we knew of was Capt. Cook's at the Polynesian, so we took the Monorail there (even got to ride in the cockpit)! By the time we got to our room, around 3:00 a.m., we'd had a very full but very magical Christmas Day!
From Rob P on December 26, 2009 at 5:28 AM
With Magic Kingdom fulfilling it's forecast of swelling it's numbers to bursting on Xmas Day we'd already decided beforehand that we'd give that one a miss.
Instead we spent a really pleasant day at Animal Kingdom. It was before Expedition Everest so the crowds were fairly light ( oh those were the days ! ).
I remember that we rode Kali River Rapids while the sun still shone. Unfortunately , by the time we'd been soaked through , the sun decided that it had enough for the day and went to bed. With the temperature dropping and the breeze picking up we were left scrambling around the outlets trying to get some new dry clothes before we froze. Nothing doing there. So we went into our respective restrooms and stood under the hand dryers trying to dry off. Some of the looks we got were quite funny but , we thought, this was hardly uncommon at this time of year.
This attempt at getting dry wasn't very successful so we jumped on the bus back to the Hotel , changed , and returnied for the excellent Mickey's Jammin Xmas Parade. Well worth the effort.
We learned a valuable lesson that day about taking a change of clothing with you and making use of the lockers.
From Robert Niles on December 26, 2009 at 4:31 PM
*Great* story, Beth. Thanks for sharing that one!
From 184.108.40.206 on December 27, 2009 at 3:10 PM
We live in So Cal and decided to spend Christmas Day this year at Disneyland! It was jam packed, the busiest I have ever seen it-and we have a premium annual pass-so we frequent the park a lot. There was a time when we literally could not push the stroller through the crowd, it was crazy! Who knew so many people would be there on Christmas Day. We still had a fantastic time and noticed that the park really thinned out after 10pm. We rode Indiana Jones at midnight, got stuck on the ride and got to reride it again. When we finally got off we were the last people on the ride-it was a pretty cool experience!
From 188.8.131.52 on December 27, 2009 at 6:24 PM
Yes, last year I spent Christmas in Orlando. However, on Christmas we were in SeaWorld. It was great! But the lines did get a little annoying. I didn't expect so many people to be there on Christmas! Oh well, I would definitely do it again.
From 220.127.116.11 on December 28, 2009 at 4:47 PM
We went to Bush Gardens on Christmas day. Lines were very long. There was a football game either a day before or would be played in the next few days. College kids everywhere!!! Not sure I would do a theme park if there is a Bowl game played in the area or not. Enjoyed the decorations and seeing the animals get their Christmas gifts. But could not get on a ride at all. Kind of depressing to think we spent all that money and didn't get to really ride anything. Oh well...we know better for next time. Wait a day or two and go, no lines and college kids will have gone home.
From Kelly Muggleton on December 29, 2009 at 6:18 AM
We visited Disneyworld from England a few Christmasses ago, having been many times before we were happy to be selective on rides etc and were prepared for lines. I had luckily booked us dinner in the Liberty Tree Tavern for just before the Christmas Day parade. So we ate a gorgeous turkey meal and went outside the Tavern to claim our parade spot - it was a good one.... Then the good ol' relaible Florida weather kicked in and it started raining, and raining, and raining. The parade got cancelled and we were so disappointed!
But, we were resilient, donned our ponchos and set off around the park. With so many people sheltering, at times we felt like the only people in the park! That made our Christmas day even more memorable. We made up for it with Spectromagic and Christmas fireworks but it was still lovely just to be there on the day.
I even said on the 25th this year...it may be incredibly busy, but isn't the Magic Kingdom lovely at Christmas! The tree, the lights, the atmosphere... The whole family agreed, and the parade music cd I made in the Village a few years back went on the player!

Trends in Importation
Trends in ImportationCountries exporting nonhuman primates into the U.S. Asian countries have been a main supplier of nonhuman primates to the rest of the world for decades. After an overwhelming demand from U.S. researchers for rhesus macaques to use in radiation experiments, India banned primate exports in 1978, and Bangladesh followed a year later.16, 17 Since 2000, China has been the top exporter of nonhuman primates to the U.S. and the numbers of nonhuman primates exported into the U.S. from China have increased dramatically. For example, in 2000, it exported 4,137 nonhuman primates into the U.S., but the numbers have since tripled to 13,096 exported to the U.S. in 2010. China has at least 40 monkey breeding facilities.18 As of 2008, there were 170,000 long-tailed macaques and 40,000 rhesus macaques, who are mainly used for exportation to biomedical research and testing, on breeding farms in China. According to an article in Nature, facilities in China are exhausting natural populations of non-human primates as they supply offspring of wild-caught animals to laboratories.19
Though it exports significantly fewer nonhuman primates than China, Mauritius (an island off of the southeast coast of Africa, near Madagascar) is the second largest exporter of monkeys to the U.S., having exported 2,940 macaques in 2010. Macaques are trapped in the wild for export or used for breeding for export. A recent news article highlighted a possible cull of monkeys at a breeding facility on Mauritius because there is a "world 'overproduction'" of monkeys for biomedical research.20
In 2010, Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia) exported 2,400 nonhuman primates to the U.S., making it the third largest exporter to the U.S., and Vietnam (1,680 nonhuman primates) and Indonesia (541 nonhuman primates) rounded out the top five countries.
Three of the top five companies exporting primates to the U.S. in 2010 are based in China: Huazheng Laboratory Animal Breeding Centre (2,980 monkeys), Guangxi Weimei Biotech Co, Ltd. (1,920 monkeys) and Angkor Primate Center, Inc. (1,560 monkeys). Nafovanny, based in Vietnam and considered to be the world's largest primate breeding facility, exported 1,680 monkeys in 2010, and Bioculture Mauritius, Ltd. exported 1,442 monkeys.
Wild-caught non-human primates Based on LEMIS data, 492 of the nonhuman primates imported into the U.S. in 2010 were listed as wild-caught on Declaration Forms submitted to the USFWS, and 5,897 were born in captivity but bred from one or both parent(s) who were wild-caught. (These animals are identified as "F1" animals.) These figures mean that 30 percent of nonhuman primates imported into the U.S. in 2010 originated from the wild or were bred from one or both monkeys who were wild-caught. Nearly half of the F1 monkeys imported in 2010 were from Mauritius and most others come from Kampuchea. Most of the wild-caught monkeys came from Mauritius, China, and St. Kitts and Nevis.
Over the past decade, imports of wild-caught primates have declined while imports of animals born from wild-caught parent(s) have quadrupled. (Figure 10) Since 1998, 26,145 wild-caught monkeys and 51,279 monkeys born from one or both wild parents were imported.
Illness, injury, and death Nonhuman primates imported in to the U.S. must be held in a quarantine facility for 31 days upon arrival. Twenty-four facilities are registered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and are allowed to receive imported nonhuman primates for quarantine.21 It has been estimated that 200, or one percent, of nonhuman primates die each year in quarantine.22 Officials from the CDC have reported that in fiscal year 2009, 582 imported monkeys died in quarantine (537 of them were euthanized for positive tuberculin skin test (TST) reactions or exposure to TST-positive animals).23 In fiscal year 2010, 4424 nonhuman primates died in quarantine and three were found dead upon arrival to the U.S.25 In fiscal year 2011, 45 nonhuman primates died in quarantine, and three were found dead upon arrival to the U.S.26 Causes of death of these nonhuman primates in shipping and quarantine include bloat, pericarditis, hemorrhagic enteritis, pneumonia, dehydration, trauma, stress, pulmonary edema, rectal prolapse, and parasitic worm infestation.
Two recently published papers by U.S. based laboratory veterinarians indicate that neither new shipments of nonhuman primates,27 nor established colonies of nonhuman primates28 are immune to infectious diseases. One paper described the euthanasia of 80 macaques who were imported to the U.S. from China, and it calls into question the validity of disease diagnosis and management of newly imported animals in quarantine.29 The second paper cited the importation of foreign animals as being a significant factor for introduction of infectious diseases.30
Regardless of the credentials of origin and destination labs, it is impossible to protect animals from infection when transporting them internationally by commercial or charter airlines over long distances and through potentially several layovers.

Last week I took a mid-day break to visit with co-creative director Anna Corinna of the handbag line Foley + Corinna. Besides being a long time fan of the New York City edgy rocker girl IT-Bag collection I knew the visit would allow me the chance to reminisce about one of my old stomping grounds. I spent five years living around the corner from F+C's vintage boutique in the Lower East Side. As soon as I re-introduced myself to Anna we got into a "remember when" about a neighborhood that New Yorker's are unable to control when they realize they have an old 'hood buddy' in their midst.
After a NY vs. LA vintage-sourcing discussion I quickly fell into handbag heaven. In addition to the classic Mid-City and FC Lady Tote there is a baby sister bag to contend with: the new Tiny-City Tote. It is a mini-me version of the cross-body Disco-City. It comes in an array of color ways and fabrics but I fell hard for the abstract floral print that will be available next season.
Can't wait? Click link to purchase my current favorites:
Embellished Mid City Tote in Nude. Natural leather with gold leather detail and metal tassel.
FC Lady Tote in Mineral Canvas. Greyish gold canvas body with grey leather trim.
Disco City in Whiskey. Super soft leather in a versatile sized cross-body bag.
Tiny City in Sahara. A dose of glam packs a punch in this mini bag. Perfect for nights out.
I couldn't resist including this embellished hobo bag as a wild card.
I think this laid back bohemian lifestyle may be rubbing off on me a bit.

My head exploded when I saw this amazing printed bag at Negri Firman. Of course, my notes made no sense to me after all this time but I managed to figure it out.
The bag is a collaboration between the two fellows behind the Brazilian label Leitmotiv exclusively for the innovative fabric brand Alcantara.
Click links to see the fantastically print heavy collection on the Leitmotiv tumblr (Hello Kittykitty!) and for all things sustainable and lux-modern go to Alcantara. I couldn't find the bag for sale but I did find both brands available on Yoox.
Pop pop pop! The envelop clutch is a huge trend right now and these exotic offerings by Robyn Brooks NY will keep you ahead of the curve. Click the link to shop her store but for the neon styles above you will have to wait till her #fw12 collection drops. I am crazy about the skull key chains too.

Get ready to drool of some finely crafted leather bags, ladies.
Oh yes, an armful of sparkles & studs please.
I like my bows with some chains & studs! Tones down the girlishness.
Great wedges and Booties.
Zebras, studs, sparkles and a positive message. Get it all come Fall here.

Once When I Was a young girl, I played make-believe with paper dolls & fashion plates. I continue to be fascinated with clothing and dressing up and as a Stylist, I found a way to live where I get to create those fashion fantasies.
OWIW is where I share my fashion & beauty inspiration, my day in the life as stylist, and (somewhat sporadic) personal style blog.
I have a major obsession for accessories & love discovering new designers. Don't be shy.
I maintain this because I ♥ it.
Photos all mine unless credited otherwise. If you see a photo and it is not credited please let me know the source so I can fix it. Thanks!

How to Find the Right Maternity Swimsuit for You
Finding suits that are both fashionable and comfortable for your expanding waistline
Finding the Perfect Suit
"The best way to find that perfect suit is to try it on," says Atkin, who also advises that you check the company's return policy, whether you're shopping online or in a store. You don't want to end up with a suit you don't like and not be able to return it.
As far as price, Atkin says a well-made maternity fashion swimsuit is going to run in the mid $60s to $70s, while designer brands start in the high $80s to $100. The best deals are often on one-piece suits, which you can find for a reasonable $40.
Once you buy that perfect suit, make sure to take care of it: rinse the suit when you get out of the water, wash gently, preferably by hand with a mild detergent, and air dry. Be sure to follow the instructions for washing your suit so it'll last your entire pregnancy and any other pregnancies as well.

It was wonderful! Thank you!
French Toast Soldiers
French toast doesn't have to be a junky breakfast. In fact, with the protein from the eggs and some fresh strawberries, it can be an energizing start to the day. Serve a small amount of syrup on the side if you want to control how much sugar your kids are getting. They'll love dipping the "soldiers" into the syrup.

Baby Shower Games
If you are planning a baby shower then you most likely have thought about which baby shower games to play. There several popular free baby shower games that go over with the guests quite well. Baby Shower Games should be fun and exciting and not too long, so the guests do not lose interest. Some games for baby showers can get quite expensive, but there are plenty of fun and free baby shower games that you can play at your next baby shower. Here are two very inexpensive and fun games.Baby Word Scramble
This is a simple baby shower game that can be fun and challenging for guests. All it takes is a computer and access to a printer and some paper. Use a word processing program to come up with different words that relate to babies, such as bassinet, sleeper, diapers, bottle, baby monitor, stroller and car seat. Choose approximately 20-25 words for the game. Type the words so that they are scrambled and unrecognizable at first glance. You want to make the game challenging but not too difficult that it takes the guest over 10 minutes to do the scrambles.
Then, when at the baby shower, simply hand out the puzzles to the guests and have them start the game all at the same time. Whoever finishes first and has them all correct wins the game. If no one finishes within 8-10 minutes then you can stop the game and have whoever has the most correct win the prize.How Big?
This is one of the fun baby shower games for the guest, but it may need approval from the mom-to-be before you plan on playing the game at the shower. Some pregnant women may not be comfortable with their guests guessing how big their belly is now. For this game, all you will need is a spool of yarn or ribbon and a pair of scissors. These may be items that you all already have at home and don't even have to spend money on.
When it is time to play the game, have the mom-to-be stand in front of the guests so that can see what she looks like. Then go around to each guest and have them cut a piece of yarn the size that they think the mother is around her baby belly. You may want to have 2-3 lines of cutting going on so that is goes quicker. This game can also be played while guests are enjoying dessert since it does not require much attention. Once everyone has cut their piece of yarn, wrap the yarn around the mom�s-to-be belly and cut the string where the ends meet. Next, walk around with the yarn and compare it to the pieces that the guests cut. Whoever comes the closest wins the prize.
Baby shower games can liven up the mood of a baby shower and it also provides a way to hand out little gifts to the guests. Games don't have to be expensive, though, to be fun.

(FREDERICKSBURG, Va.) — A husband and wife who work for the Department of Defense won the Virginia Lottery's $217 million Powerball jackpot, the second-largest lotto prize the state has ever awarded.
Dave and Nancy Honeywell of Fredericksburg, Va., both work for the Defense Department.
Dave Honeywell, a computer scientist, bought the winning ticket at one of Richmond International Airport's Lottery Express stations when he left for a business trip to Denver on Feb. 6.
His winning numbers were 5-27-36-38-41, chosen randomly through Easy Pick's computer system. His prize is the state's first Powerball jackpot win, the Virginia Lottery said.
According to the Virginia Lottery, Honeywell said that he plans to continue working.
After the prize was awarded, the Honeywells declined to comment further to the media.
On Valentine's Day, he and his wife, a project manager, received a giant check at the spot where he bought the ticket. They chose the one-time cash option of $136.4 million before taxes.

text: This is an old photograph from my last trip to the Smoky Mountain. I was driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The clouds stuck to the peaks at the higher elevations. I was driving through these clouds. It was wonderful to drive with the windows down, letting the outside in, listening to the sounds, and smelling the forest. I will be revisiting this place towards the end of September. The colors will have turned. I can't wait.
