Vote of the week: When's your next theme park vacation?
Written by Robert Niles
Summer vacations are ending, and students are heading back to school. That means we're approaching the end of an another theme park season, though the season for theme parks never really ends here on Theme Park Insider, does it? ;^)Tweet
Of course, with the calendar turning toward September, our focus does change from taking vacations to planning the next one. Over the next several weeks, we'll be offering more front-page posts on theme park vacation planning, with tips for saving money and finding value for your next family vacation.
Ah, the fun of family vacation photobombing….
But when will you take that next trip to a theme park? With so many parks extending their season with Halloween events, will you be attending one of them, in September or October? Or are you looking to the holidays for a theme park getaway? Maybe it'll be next spring break, instead? Or will you be sitting out until next summer, when another wave of theme park attractions debut, led by Universal Studios Florida's Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley?
Of course, some of us are fortunate enough to live in Southern California, Central Florida, Tokyo, Singapore, or someplace else where the theme parks never close for the season, and we can keep visiting year-round.
For our vote of the week this week, please tell us when you're looking to take your next theme park trip, after this summer ends.

My favorite memory from this summer? As much as I love dark rides, I'm going with multiple rides in the front seat of Hersheypark's Lightning Racer, on a morning after a torrential rainstorm. A forecast for continued rain helped keep crowds away, allowing my son and I to be the only people on the train. A coaster lover's dream, getting a great coaster to yourself!

I'm wrestling between two favorite moments. The first one was during my wife and I's three day trip to Universal Orlando. For three days in a row, we were the first riders on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. It sounds stupid, but it was a really awesome feeling to be the first park guests to ride it those three days.
The second moment was just the experience of going to Carowinds with my cousin. It was my hometown park as child and I spent many summers there enjoying the rides. It has been a few years since I've been back. While Carowinds is nothing compared to Disney or Universal, feeling the nostalgia of riding my favorite childhood coasters was awesome. Experiencing the new roller coasters like Intimidator, Night Hawk, and Carolina Cobra was special too.

Wrong seat, Robert, right coaster :)
From James Rao on August 23, 2013 at 1:09 PM
Favorite memory of 2013 was being among the first people to ride Outlaw Run at the media preview day! Sweet!
Next trip: heading to SoCal in less than a month!!!! First week I will be visiting relatives, but the second week is all about theme parks... five days of Disney + Not So Scary, then Six Flags MM, and Knotts (no Universal Hollywood - too much money for too little park). I cannot wait. Been a long time since I rode the original Pirates of the Caribbean!
From Russell Meyer on August 23, 2013 at 1:18 PM
Our highlight for the year was our first trip to Southern California in nearly 5 years. We were in total awe of the precision and level of detail in Cars Land, and this was our first time seeing World of Color. Not only that, but I got to have lunch with our fearless leader at Carthay Circle.
Overall, there were lots of new rides for us this year including: The Little Mermaid (DCA), Radiator Springs Racers, Green Lantern (SFMM), Lex Luthor's Drop of Doom, Apocalypse (SFMM), Transformers (USH), Pony Express, Siera Sidewinder, Manta (San Diego), Antarctica, Gatekeeper, and Diamondback. In addition we've enjoyed rediscovering the wonder of theme parks through our son, who's turned into quite a ride junkie before he's even reached 42" tall.
We'll be going to our three local parks (Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Kings Dominion, and Six Flags America) a few more times through the end of October, but that's probably it until next March. We're planning a HUGE Florida trip for October 2014 since there will be three big additions next summer (Falcon's Fury, Harry Potter London, and Seven Dwarves Mine Train), which will probably include our first trip to Legoland since our son will be old enough (4 1/2)and tall enough (over 42" hopefully) to appreciate the park.

Next week!
From 126.96.36.199 on August 23, 2013 at 3:09 PM
My personal favorite experience this summer was riding in the Lilly Belle passenger car for the first time at Disneyland. My family's favorite memory was experiencing the updated Log Ride, Snoopy ice show, and Boomtown acrobat show over multiple visits this summer.
Our next theme park visit will probably be to Legoland near San Diego in October for their Halloween family activities.
From Beth Olliges on August 23, 2013 at 5:14 PM
My favorite theme park memory of the summer is visiting six parks in nine days with my boyfriend! Universal Studios Hollywood, Sea World San Diego, Knott's Berry Farm, California's Great America, and four days at Disneyland and California Adventure!! We were exhausted, but it was worth it!
By the way, for anyone who doesn't know about it, the California CityPass, which provides three days at DL/DCA, plus one day each at USH and SW, is a great deal! And if you buy it online from USH or SW, you get a bonus day there! (We ended up not using our bonus day, though, because a friend who works at DL offered to get us in free with his season pass. Who can turn down an extra Disney day?)
Our next trip will be to one of our favorite places, at one of our favorite times: WDW at Christmastime! We hope the Magic Bands have rolled out by then, so we can give them a try. I'm also considering adding the Dining Plan -- I've never done it. I haven't made any ADRs yet, but it usually isn't too difficult with a party of two. :)
From 18.104.22.168 on August 23, 2013 at 5:23 PM
Oh man this one's easy for me. I went in July with my girlfriend to Tokyo Disneysea for the very first time! Wow it really is the best theme park experience you'll ever have. Highlights were indiana Jones (better than CA imo), Journey to the Center of the Earth (definitely on my best 3 favorite attractions ever list), mystic rhythms which blew me away with it's cirque du soleil quality, aquatopia was surprisingly fun and thrilling as you never know when the water is going to hit you, dinner at SS columbia, and I fell in love with the electric railway (which reminds me a lot of the Disneyland railroad in terms of authenticity). The entire park is fantastic but those were my highlights.
From 188.8.131.52 on August 23, 2013 at 7:32 PM
I've gone in October over the last 5 years and this year is no exception. Six and a half more weeks and I'll be at WDW! Can't wait!
From Brandon Townsend on August 23, 2013 at 10:44 PM
The best memory for this summer is getting to ride Formula Rossa at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi with my kids. It was their first time on the world's fastest coaster and they were thrilled.
And our next trip (trips) will be in October when we go to Cedar Point for a weekend (new Ultimate Fastpasses in hand), then to Universal Studios Florida for a weekend (Loew's Pacific Resort), and then a week at WDW staying at the Boardwalk. Can't wait!
From Anthony Murphy on August 24, 2013 at 12:09 PM
I am going to the Food and Wine Festival
Favorite summer memory? Seeing my brother's 19 year old Girlfriend fitting into the large Belle costume and then making her wear it to Be Our Guest. The Beast danced with her!
From 18.104.22.168 on August 24, 2013 at 2:42 PM
Next trip September 2013, last trip Sept 2007. Bit of a trip from the UK
From 184.108.40.206 on August 26, 2013 at 3:41 AM
For me it is a toss up -- First was getting to pet a dolphin and later a penguin at Sea world San Diego! A thrilling experiance for me even if not that uncommon.
Second was having dinner at the Cathay Theater resturant in Disney's California Adventure to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary - and the return to disneyland, the location for our first date six years before.

Well He-llo to you! Yes you! Just as I like to write stories and let my mind produce a colorful rainbow filled with creativity, I do love reading. Honestly, I will read anything, though I'm more into the young adult categories and the romance novels such as "A Walk to Remember." But yeah I'm an 18 year old who enjoys that kind of stuff so don't judge. Oh and by the way, I don't really live in an igloo, or a warm one to be exact...if you haven't figured. I doubt one would be comfortable anyways. My first story here on Wattpad is Long Live and I am currently working on the sequel. Also, I have another story that is completely separate from the "Long Live series" which is titled as "Shielded." Just putting it out there. Any-who, enough mumbo jumbo, let's read shall we? ;D

[QUOTE]I really love how trolls will come here and say Brady is washed up after one simple loss! Evidently he did not watch the Jests game last month. It wasn't him playing poorly, or the line being pushed around. Many times he had all day to throw the ball. But nobody got open. You do have to give the Jests defense their due (begrudgingly). They never let Tom get into rhythm until late in the 3rd. Had the Patriots defense managed to force a turnover or two (something they've been doing regularly) it would have been a different game. A little pressure on Sanchez would have helped, too. So you cannot blame that loss on Brady. Even the Ravens game a year ago they were down big right off the bat. He did play poorly, but the Ravens defense made a lot of QBs look bad. As for Dogg's jumping in, I will not comment. Anyone can look up both QB's playoff numbers and it's a no-brainer! I think Brady still has what it takes to win it all. And the supporting cast will be better next season! Don't know that I'd say that about either the Jests or Colts.

Import CSV error, line break SOLVED[edit | edit source]
In case you use Mac OS X, make sure you save your CSV file with Windows line break format. I have Excel and TextWrangler (just another text editor). I used Excel to edit the CSV file. Then I reopened the file in TextWrangler and save as, specifying that it uses Windows line breaks (CRLF) (as per the CSV specification linked to on the extension page), rather than Classic Mac (CR).
--Tommyheyser (talk) 22:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
That's very helpful! It's odd, a linux open source system using the DOS convention, but I suppose they do it deliberately.
In vi you need to type:
- %s/^M/^M^J/
Incidentally, this isn't the right place to ask, but, is there a way to have vi instead of the editor mediawiki uses as a standard?
Fustbariclation (talk) 05:13, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Tommyheyser - thanks for diagnosing that issue; I just added a note about that to the documentation. Fustbariclation - I believe CSV files saved with both Windows and Linux are handled fine; it's only Mac (apparently) that requires special treatment.

Keli Dennehy was fourth in a time of 18:05
Sept. 30, 2011
Montana senior Lynn Reynolds won the men's eight-kilometer race and Montana State senior Heather Haug won the women's five-kilometer race Friday morning at the Montana Invitational at the UM Golf Course. Reynolds and Haug both won cross country races for the first time in their collegiate careers.
Montana State had four runners in the top nine and won the men's race with 38 points. Gonzaga had 10 of the top 20 runners overall in a surprising performance, but the Bulldogs couldn't match the Bobcats' numbers at the top of the standings and finished second with 49 points.
Montana had Reynolds' victory, but the Grizzlies did not place any other runner in the top 20 and finished third with 77 points.
The men's individual race came down to Reynolds and Lyle Weese, 10 years different in age but sharing a common bond of growing up in the Wayside Acres trailer park in Dillon.
Weese, a former Montana State runner who now coaches the Bobcats' distance runners, was competing Friday unattached.
Reynolds, who was 20 meters back for much of the race, started closing on Weese in the final mile and took advantage of his knowledge of the course to cut the gap even more.
"When we got to 800 meters to go, there is kind of a tricky corner where you're going through a bunch of trees," Reynolds said.
"Lyle made a mistake and went around some trees when he should have cut inside of them. He noticed it too late, and that allowed me to close the gap a little more.
"I'm pretty sure I would have caught him anyways, but that was a big blow to his mental state, and it definitely helped me out."
The pair came into sight of the finish line shoulder to shoulder, and Reynolds pulled away in just the final 50 meters to claim his first collegiate cross country title.
When asked what was on his mind over the final 200 meters, with the finish line and his first victory in sight and Weese at his side, Reynolds said, "I wasn't thinking, I've got this in the bag. It was more, Work your (butt) off and hope it turns out for you this time.
"And it did. It's definitely a big confidence boost."
Reynolds finished in 24:44, Weese 24:46. Montana State's Jacob Kirk (25:20) and Seth Grossman (25:24) finished third and fourth. Eastern Washington's Graham Vaux (25:35) came in fifth.
Montana had hoped to get its Nos. 2 through 5 runners closer to Reynolds, but his gap on his teammates stayed more than a minute and a half.
Junior Max Hardy was the Grizzlies' next finisher, coming in 21st in 26:18. Sophomore Connor Williams (26:19) finished 22nd, freshman Sam Willis (26:24) 24th and freshman David Norris (26:38) 28th.
Montana State's women's team performance was the story of the day. Picked sixth in the Big Sky Conference preseason coaches' poll, well behind first-place Weber State and second-place Montana, the Bobcats put four in the top 10 Friday to pull off a surprising victory over the Grizzlies, who struggled on their home course.
Four weeks out from the Big Sky Conference championship, which will be run at Pocatello, Idaho, on Oct. 29, Haug saw her team's performance as a big stepping stone toward upsetting the standings at that meet.
"We're really excited as a team coming out of this meet," she said. "Knowing we were able to beat the Griz and also Eastern Washington is going to give us a lot of confidence.
"We're really excited, especially with four of us in the top 10."
Haug, a mile (indoor) and 1,500 meters (outdoor) Big Sky Conference champion, was in a lead group that included Gonzaga's Lindsey Drake, Sue Huse, who was competing unattached, Montana's Keli Dennehy and Lauren Bergam, who was competing unattached for Gonzaga.
Haug pulled away over the final few hundred meters to finish in 17:46, three seconds ahead of Drake and 13 seconds ahead of Huse.
"It was brutal and tough to hang on, but it was good," Haug said. "I wasn't really expecting to win.
"I tried to think of my team out there. I told myself that they are working hard too, so I'd better step it up for them so that they have something to look up to.
"I'm really excited. Normally I have it in my head that I'm a miler, so when I can win a 5k, it adds to my confidence for other meets."
Montana was expecting to place its top five in the top 10 overall, but only Dennehy and freshman Carly Wilczynski made it.
Dennehy was fourth in 18:05, Wilczynski finished ninth in 18:24.
Freshman Ani Haas (18:43), running in her first cross country race, was 11th, freshman Allie Parks (18:54) was 15th, and senior Kesslee Payne (19:11) was 17th.
Montana next will compete at the Inland Northwest Challenge at Spokane, Wash., Friday, Oct. 14.

Can Marijuana Kill Your Dog?
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/Sergii Votit
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
As marijuana becomes more of a mainstream topic, the news media is finding new ways to sensationalize their coverage. One topic that has resurfaced lately is dogs and marijuana—specifically, is pot good or bad for them? There is a lot of misinformation out there about canines and cannabis, leading NBC News to report " Marijuana poisoning on the rise in pets."
Can marijuana poison your dog? We've been taught that marijuana is non-toxic to humans, but is it safe for dogs? Chocolate, raisins, grapes, garlic, onions, avocado, and macadamia nuts are delicious to us, but can range from sickening to life-threatening for dogs. And while everything more evolved than a sea squirt has an endocannabinoid system, can human-level quantities of weed overload a small dog's system?
In the aforementioned NBC News story, Tina Wismer, the director of the Animal Poison Control Center explained, "Animals don't react the same way as humans. Without treatment, dogs can go into comas and die."
Wismer singled out medicated edibles with high THC concentrations as most dangerous to canines, especially if combined in chocolate brownies or raisin cookies.
A 2012 study published in the Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care followed 125 dogs in Colorado that presented marijuana ingestion from 2005-2010. Authors concluded, "Ingestion of baked goods made with medical grade tetrahydrocannabinol butter resulted in 2 deaths." According to the Coloradoan, the two dogs died when they asphyxiated on their own vomit. Sad, to be sure, but can we call that a marijuana toxicity?
TheColoradoan also spoke with Ashley Harmon, a veterinarian at Fort Collins Veterinary Emergency and Rehabilitation. She says she's seen more cases of people bringing in dogs who've ingested marijuana since it was legalized in Colorado. She also says she's seen two smaller dogs die from marijuana ingestion, one who ate a pound of pot brownies and another who ate a pound of pot butter. But was it the marijuana that harmed the dogs, or the ingredients in the edibles?
In 2013, researchers writing in the journal Topics in Companion Animal Medicine wrote, "The minimum lethal oral dose for dogs for THC is more than 3 g/kg. Although the drug has a high margin of safety, deaths have been seen after ingestion of food products containing the more concentrated medical-grade THC butter."
But in 1973, scientists writing for the journal Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology noted "In dogs and monkeys, single oral doses of Δ9-THC and Δ8-THC between 3000 and 9000 mg/kg were nonlethal."
So, 40 years ago, 3 to 9 grams THC per kilogram of body weight was non-lethal to a dog, but last year, 3 grams THC per kilogram of body weight is the minimum lethal dose. Confused yet?
Consider that in those studies, that's 3 g/kg of THC given orally, not pot itself. A 2004 review published in the Journal of Veterinary and Human Toxicology looked at 213 incidents where dogs ate actual pot from 1998-2001.
"The marijuana ingested ranged from 1/2 to 90 g," the scientists wrote. "The lowest dose at which signs [of distress] occurred was 84.7 mg/kg and the highest reported dose was 26.8 g/kg." They found that even with a dog eating almost an ounce of ganja per kilogram of its weight, "All followed animals made full recoveries."
In terms of pure THC injected into dogs rather than eaten, researchers in 1983 found "the dose of THC which kills 50 percent of animals (LD50) when administered intravenously is … 130mg/kg in the dog."
For comparison's sake, pure synthetic THC Marinol pills that are prescribed to humans come in 2.5mg, 5mg, and 10mg oral dosages and the THC you'll get in a package of Colorado medicated edibles ranges from 50mg to 125mg.

NEW YORK — Powerful and lightweight, lithium-ion batteries are the perfect power source for modern gadgets. But ubiquitous as they are, their short history has also been fraught with problems. They have caught fire in cellphones, laptop computers, and electric cars, and have even destroyed a small Navy submarine.
Now, federal investigators are trying to determine why a lithium-ion battery caught fire in Boeing's long-awaited 787 Dreamliner last week, and they have grounded the planes until they figure it out.

It would have been nice to have a link to the "original" clip. Your finger is not exactly an official "indicator". Besides... I didn't see it "fly in" as you say; only your finger and your sound effects. This is a good catch, but we really need video we can download and scrutinize. Thanks for the upload.

text: Under the DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME category on MythBusters... They were testing if CD's would break in high speed drives. So they connected a CD to an angle grinder... Basically it destroyed itself... What do you expect? CD's are not designed for that... And neither are angle grinders I think.

NAME CHANGE: The Wall Street Journal is changing the name of the "Pursuits" section in its Weekend Edition to "Weekend Journal," the same section title that appears on Fridays. News of the name change was first reported Tuesday on Gawker.com. A source close to the newspaper said the section's name was changed simply to make it less confusing with "Personal Journal" and the "Weekend Edition." Moreover, some at the paper thought that "Personal Journal," which runs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, was too similar in name to "Pursuits." However, a Journal staffer said the paper's upcoming glossy magazine, which will launch next year, will take on the Pursuits title. A spokeswoman at the Journal declined to comment. Another source confirmed the Weekend Journal will have the same content and same editors — at least for now. — A.W.
IN THE BAG: Accessories editors can breathe a sigh of relief — their jobs may just get a bit easier following the launch of Lüprocks, a new Web venture that connects jewelry and accessories designers to the media and stylists. The Lüprocks.com site, a virtual showroom, had a soft launch earlier this month. The Web site is a subscription service in which designers are permitted to show several styles from their collections as well as a company biography. There is no charge for the media, such as market editors, who are meant to browse through in order to find product to suit their trend stories. One special feature is the firm's "Desperately Seeking" classified ads section in which an editor or stylist can post a specific accessory or jewel they are looking for. Jewelry industry veteran Michelle Orman and Jessica Cohen, an Emmy award-winning set decorator, founded the site. "We're not saying that you don't need to go to a trade show," said Cohen. "We want to make it easy for editors." One can search specifics such as frame bags, horn sunglasses and lockets. Designers include Carolina Bucci, Alex Woo and Amgad. — Sophia Chabbott

Aural Pleasure Review
Gun Selectah: Gun Selectah EP
Published: October 19, 2011
This EP is misleading for a number of reasons. First, it's a heavy EP, weighing in at nine tracks and a hair shy of 40 minutes. Secondly, the original material consists of only three songs jointly produced by local beat smith Ernest Gonzales (here under his Mexicans with Guns moniker) and Monterrey-based, cumbia-EDM maestro Toy Selectah (formerly of the hip-hop en español trio Control Machete). Thirdly, even if Toy Selectah contributed half or more to this volume, the overall sound massively yields to Mexicans with Guns pounding tribal bass sound. Things are further complicated by the fact that though Gun Selectah's three originals are solid, the remixes by LOL Boys, Lorenzo Vektor, and DJ Orion are atrocious. Even worse, the delectable Latin spy theme "Villa Ghetto" is remixed no less than four times here. The song's respectable moombahton remix by Sonora, which closes the album, feels exhausted because it follows a double run of the tune. The track listing seems more intended for a cherry-picking DJ than someone who wants to listen from start to finish. What could've been a dynamite album is, instead, a lesson in presentation gone awry.

Let It All Burn10 Reviews
A twisted version of Hansel and Gretel. Something I did for my English. R & R?
In the industry of fame, everyone has something to hide - a dirty habit, cheating on your significant other, lying about how much wealth you possess. For Robert and Reinette, it was their children.
Hansel and Gretel weren't your average teenagers - unless average teenagers were certifiable psychopaths. Spilling blood was their speciality, and they adored it. They were almost vampiristic, in a way. The sight of blood made their senses tingle, it spread a sadistic smile across their lips. Robert and Reinette didn't care about their kids' odd behaviour. They cared about how popular they were, and how shiny and perfect their social image was. The mental health and well being of their 'children' never crossed their minds.
Hansel and Gretel were cold, standoffish teenagers, with hearts of stone and virtually no emotion. Their eyes were empty when they smiled, and that is always the sign of a psycho. They held no remorse as they slowly slit open a frog. They could do vile things and not regret anything. For the most, Hansel and Gretel were sociopaths.
The media, as they still are, were relentless. They refused to leave well enough alone. They needed to find secrets, dirty little secrets, they needed to wreck reputations and tear apart love and families. When they found out about Hansel and Gretel, evil crooked smiles spread across their evil, crooked faces. They had found something to ruin them.
As Robert gazed at the newspaper laid strewn across the table, his eyes widened and his heart pumped. He was scared, not for the welfare and well-being of his children; but for his fame, his wealth. He looked over at Hansel and Gretel fleetingly. Their eyes were cold and hard. Reinette's face was flushed, her eyes wide. She gestured him over, only to whisper into his ear.
"We must get rid of the children," she whispered.
"How?" He inquired.
"Take them deep into the woods. Lose them."
So forth, Robert instructed Hansel and Gretel to get dressed, and follow him into the woods. They did, not bothering to ask about his intentions. Robert had not shown them love or affection in at least 16 years, why would he start now? As he lead them into the woods, he growled harshly.
"Do not come back."
Not bothering to question why, Hansel and Gretel nodded, wandering away from the man that was biologically their father and emotionally a stranger.
It didn't take long for the teenagers to become swallowed in the woodlands, darkness overpowering and showering the woods in complete blackness. They had not eaten well in the morning, hunger was now evident as their stomachs rumbled and cried out for food, minds numb and almost scared of what could happen. However, they both knew that if anything potentially dangerous came into view, they could simply slaughter it without feeling remorse or regret.
Wandering on, Hansel's eyes narrowed as a small house came into view - a house that looked fairly normal, except for the fact it was painted a tantalizing blood red. Gretel nodded, understand her brother's words even thought he had not spoken.
"Come, let's go investigate."
As they neared the house, the smell of blood filled their nostrils and let their stomachs yelp in delight. The smell was mixed - there was animal blood and human blood, a metallic and salty mix, warm and dripping off the walls. Extending a slender, pale hand to scrape a finger against the walls, Gretel let out a soft gasp as she recognized the taste of blood on her tongue.
"Who's there?" A voice called. Looking up, Hansel and Gretel saw a beautiful young woman, with jet-black hair that fell in straight sheets to her waist, and sapphire blue eyes that haunted you as you fell into the screaming abyss of sleep.
"Who are you?" Gretel hissed, teeth gritted and eyes narrowed as far as they could be narrowed.
"My name is Belladonna. Please, come inside. Are you hungry?"
It was at this point where Hansel's stomach let a monstrous roar rip. A knowing smirk spread across Belladonna's lips as she ushered the two teenagers into her house, before transforming into a small, wrinkled, and utterly hideous witch.
"You look good enough to eat," she cackled at Hansel. Rage boiled in the boy's blood, and he raised a hand to backhand slap her across the cheek. The outline of his hand littered her cheek, a bright red shape. Infuriated, the witch leapt upon Hansel's thin frame.
"I'll kill you for that, you awful being!"
This is where Gretel snapped. No one had ever threatened her brother, mainly because if anyone got too close, the pair ended up murdering them in cold blood. The very idea of someone killing her brother made Gretel want to throw herself off the top of the blood-covered house. With fury in her eyes, Gretel reached a hand round, clamping it over the witch's mouth.
"Say that again, I dare you."
"I'll kill him."
"Not before I kill you first."
Offering Hansel a vicious smirk, she threw the old woman towards him. His firm arms wrapped round her waist, holding her in a death grip as Gretel examined the house for weapons. A dark chuckle left her lips as she held up a sharp knife.
"You thought you could use this on me? Think again."
Placing the knife against the left corner of the witch's lips, she held no sorrow as she tore the flesh, blood spilling and flowing down the witch's jaw in the knife's wake. She did the same with the right corner of the witch's lips, leaving a Chelsea Grin across the old woman's face, blood pouring down and splattering on the floor in a sort of macabre waterfall.
"Place her on the ground, Hansel." Gretel's words were harsh as she once again studied the small building for a weapon. Choosing a large sledgehammer, she nodded at her brother, who now had the sobbing and screaming witch tackled to the ground.
"No one hurts my brother," Gretel whispered as she crouched down above the witch's leg, raising the sledgehammer before bringing it down. The sound of a bone cracking filled the room before garbled screams emitted from the witch's throat. Moving to her other leg, Gretel did the same, the sound of the bone shattering bouncing off the walls. Gretel did this with the witch's arms, too. Raising the same knife as before, she made a slit in the witch's pinafore to expose the ugly flesh of her stomach.
"You don't need your appendix," Gretel laughed horrendously as she made a large incise in the witch's side, more crimson liquid decorating the floor. Gretel didn't consider the witch's pain for a moment, inserting a hand into the incision. She had practice in this, and once her fingers grasped the old woman's appendix, she gave a rough yank, and the small appendage detached and lay useless in her hand. Retracting it and throwing it to the floor, Gretel gave a soft smirk.
"You can die now," she screamed as she dug her hand back into the witch's inside again, grasping the beginning of her small intestines, and stepping back. The pink tube was revealed to the world as Gretel began running backwards, letting it unravel.
"Set fire to her, Hansel! Set fire!"
Hansel nodded and let out a gleeful screech, throwing a lit match down onto the witch's now limp body.
"Burn! Let it all burn!" The two screamed. When the witch's intestines could no longer go any further, Gretel dropped it, then the two began to run, as far away from the inferno of a house as they could. They ran back through the forest, and back to the house they had grown up in. On inspection, the house was completely empty, with only a simple note left.
"We cannot be related. Goodbye, killer children."
As Robert and Reinette found their seats on the first plane far away, they had no regrets in leaving their children. They did, though, have regrets when their children hunt them down and held guns to their foreheads.
Bang, bang.

I got every single glyph in Lich King, and TBH you can keep your "secrets". Glyphs are a mess. Any business that involves making and posting up 100s of unique items which may or may not sell from week to week is not worth the time unless you have a virtual monopoly. I still get into it once in awhile just to make some quick gold on inflated items, but dailies are less of a bother and the way the market is on my server they're nearly as profitable. JC is king in cata, unfortunately.

On a clear day, visitors can see the Farallon Islands 25 miles out to sea, the Marin County hills, San Francisco and the bay, hills and cities of the East Bay, and Mount Diablo. On rare occasions, the Sierra Nevada's snow-covered mountains can be seen 150 miles away.
Coastal Miwok Indians lived in the area for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. In 1770, two explorers named the mountain La Sierra de Nuestro Padre de San Francisco, which was later changed to the Miwok word Tamalpais.
With the Gold Rush of 1849, San Francisco grew and more people began to use Mount Tamalpais for recreation. Trails were developed and a wagon road was built. Later, a railway was completed and became known as "The Crookedest Railroad in the World." It was abandoned in 1930 after a wildfire damaged the line.
Facilities and Activities
Hiking and Bicycle Trails: More than 50 miles of hiking trails are within the park and connect to a larger, 200 mile long trail system. Friends of Mt. Tam provides hike suggestions and hike schedules on their website.
Road bikers are challenged by the infamous seven sisters and the twisting road to the top while mountain bikers can enjoy the Coast View and Dias Ridge multi-use trails as well as park fire trails.
Be aware of park regulations when visiting!
The Bootjack Picnic Area has tables, stoves, piped drinking water and flush toilets.
The East Peak Summit features a Visitor Center and the Gravity Car Barn, a small museum of railroad history (open on weekends only). Picnic tables and a fully accessible restroom are also available.
The Mountain Theater (AKA The Cushing Memorial Theater) was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The natural-stone amphitheater seats 3,750 people and features the Mountain Play each spring, produced every year since 1913. In the summer, monthly astronomy programs are held in the theater, free to the public.
Walk-in camping is available first come, first served at Pantoll and Bootjack. For reservations at Steep Ravine cabins or campsites, or the Alice Eastwood and Frank Valley group camps, visit Reserve America.

His efforts also earned him a Three Star selection seven times, with two being 1st Stars.
Skapski currently ranks 12th among all WHL goaltenders with a 2.66 goals-against average and a 0.913 save-percentage, in 59 games-played thus far this season. His consistent play helped the Ice to a sizzling 9-2-0-0 record in February and currently sit eighth in the WHL Eastern Conference with a 33-30-2-0 record for 68 points.
His accomplishments make Mackenzie Skapski a deserving choice as the VAUGHN WHL Goaltender of the Month for February.

Why I am a Cynic
Movie Review - An Inconvenient Truth
Well I finally saw An Inconvenient Truth and I have to say I was very impressed with what Gore accomplished in this film. I was impressed by his passion, his commitment to a cause, his intelligence and the clarity of his message. Whether you agree with him or not, you can't help but notice that what used to be a wooden speaker has transformed into a charming, warm and humour person. An excellent platform to launch another run at the presidency. Looking over the current field of Democrats - you do a lot worse.
By delving into Gore's personal tragedies and setbacks (the near-fatal accident of his son, his sister's death from lung cancer and his oh-so-close loss of the 2000 presidential election), you see a vulnerability not often displayed by public figures. But with the polarization of politics in the U.S., there is a segment of American society that will never acknowledge Gore or his message.

Khan Report Uncovered
I apologize if people can't make out the writing, but as we all know uploading images can be difficult. For the readers benefit, here is the text of Khan's extensive report below:
Hello Prime Minister and First Lady:
Having a wonderful time. Egypt is wonderful, I must say the visit to the Sphinx has been the highlight. The food is excellent and the lodgings have all been five star (see receipts). Jordan was wonderful, the people were very friendly. I also enjoyed Syria, had a wonderful conversation with a cab driver on the way to the Ummayad Mosque in Damascus- stunning architecture by the way! The cab driver felt that two-state solution for Palestine was the best way to ensure lasting peace in the region. Good advice for sure, I will speak more when I return.
Anyways, I had best wrap up, there is wonderful restaurant with dancers, on the Nile, that I am told is a MUST SEE. I will probably leave Egypt in a day or two, then on to Israel. I will be sure to garner some opinions while visiting the sandy beaches in Tel Aviv.
Again, thank-you for this opportunity as special advisor Prime Minister. I haven't felt this relaxed since the 0% financing sale at the dealership.
Yours, Wajid
Russian Death Tunnel
This tunnel in Russia is the longest in-city tunnel of Europe. There is a river running over it, and water leaks at some points. When the temperature reaches -38 degrees, like it did this winter, the road freezes and the result is the attached video taken during a single year with the tunnel camera.

Many Natural Born Canadians Discover They Aren't Canadian Afterall
Many have been informed their chance to remain a citizen expired years ago because of an obscure provision in the Citizenship Act, a little-known law that applied between 1947 and 1977. The law states that if you lived outside Canada on your 24th birthday and failed to sign the right form, you automatically lost your citizenship. This includes people actually born in Canada.

Foot Fetish Robber in Philly
Why doesn't he just get a job selling shoes at Bloomingdale? All the feet he can handle.
Is Conservatism Dead in Canada?
In retrospect I was quite wrong. After a year of Conservative rule, it is now clear, conservatism isn't just dying -- it's dead. And it's the Conservatives who killed it.
The more the party has chased the middle, however, the faster it has seemed to recede; with each abandonment of its principles, the opposition and the media, those arbiters of the status quo, simply yawn and move the goalposts a little further down the field. So that even so humiliating a climbdown as the past week's reinstatement of the very Liberal environmental programs the Tories abolished in their first weeks in office wins them no points whatever.
Quebec, missile defence, China, health care, regional development: it's very hard to tell what the Conservative position is any more, or how it differs from the Liberals, or what it will be a week from now. And the result? 31% in the last poll. Sell your soul, you'd think you'd at least get paid.

Laura Bush and Barney Join Senate Republicans to Oppose the Surge
The first lady appeared in a news conference with Senators John Warner (R-VA), Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Susan Collins (R-ME) to announce their largely symbolic opposition to the president's plans. This becomes the third bipartisan public condemnation in as many days.
Mrs. Bush stated that she and the dogs would begin an immediate withdrawal and strategic redeployment, returning only when the president is able to step up and make the commitment to govern himself and the country effectively. She cited a specific set of benchmarks and a timetable for the White House loosely adapted from an earlier House of Representatives proposal for Iraq.
Inexpensive Police Cars
James Brown's Body is MIA
Bickering over the estate - and the body reached a new peak with the filing of his will, which made no provision for the woman who claims to be his widow, or their five-year-old son, James Junior.
The coffin eventually will be placed in an above-ground mausoleum accessible to the public. Also, family members, friends and estate trustees planned to consult with Elvis Presley's family to learn how they opened Graceland.
Darwin Awards
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
And now, the Honorable Mentions:
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat- cutting machine and submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
5. A Texas teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer: $15. (If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?)
7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
9. The Ann Arbor Michigan News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd had in a very long time.

The Apprentice LA: Episode 3
The two project leaders pick team mates and each team must come up with a unique idea for an LA double-decker custom sightseeing tour for Starline Tours. Things do not go smoothly for Team Michelle and it becomes obvious they lose the task and who is going to be fired. Before the Trumps could begin the boardroom showdown, Michelle piped up and gave a speech that boiled down to "It's been real, but this place is bananas, I'm out of here. I'll just go back to having my own successful business, you crazy freaks." Of course she didn't actually say this, but rather launched into a seemingly rehearsed speech, as The Donald kept interrupting her telling her she was in fact, a quitter and a loser and that she just didn't understand how this really simulated what it's like struggling in the world of business.
I kind of have to side with Michelle on this one and I'll go out on a limb here and guess that the Donald didn't have to take too many showers in his backyard while climbing up the real estate ladder. I could be wrong, and I hope I am because I'm starting to feel like the "tent city" approach is only really proving a one-sided argument and really takes a lot out of the show as we virtually know nothing about the folks on Kinetic. I'm not sure that living in a tent is making the candidates hungrier for victory, but probably more insane and gamey. While this is fun to watch to a point, I think that's why we have Survivor. Donald, Ivanka and Donald Jr. tried to really convince Michelle she would regret resigning and that she would get nowhere in business with that kind of attitude, it really sounded like this came more out of desperation to just get to the real board room scene (I bet they had thought up some real zingers they didn't want to lose the chance to use!). Michelle wasn't having it and said her goodbyes. I have to say that this made me like Michelle more than any other point in the show, which granted, isn't saying a whole lot. This show is getting weaker and weaker.
Mom Induces Labor So Husband Can Attend Game

The baby was due Monday. But when Colleen went in for an appointment Friday afternoon, her doctors told her she could opt for an early delivery. She decided to do so.

When people walked out of jail Thursday morning they were greeted by volunteers with the Peaceful Streets Project. The grassroots group works to educate the public about their civil rights.
Two volunteers set up outside the Travis County Justice Complex a little before 3:00 a.m. After two hours, Joshua Pineda says they had reached out to 8 people leaving jail. The table he sat at had water, food and cell phones.
"This way we can interview them and get their story out there and get them in touch with civil rights attorneys," explained Pineda, if that is needed.
Pineda is part of the group founded by Antonio Buehler who claims he was a victim of police brutality following an incident on New Year's Day. Buehler started taking photos of what he says was two officers being rough with a woman during a DWI stop. One of the officers told Buehler he was interfering and according to police he spit in an officer's face. Buehler says that did not happen and knows the video shot by a witness will prove otherwise.
An internal APD investigation found the officers were not in the wrong.
Buehler has been charged with a felony and misdemeanor and while he waits for trial he is trying to spread the word. While he didn't make it to the morning complaint department, other volunteers with the group did. It's the first time the group set up during the overnight hours.
"This is for the community and what is best for the community and that's no brutality or civil rights violations. We've had many stories but we want to hear nothing happened," explained Pineda.
The project plans to hand out 100 cameras to citizens at a summit on Saturday to document police interaction.
