1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to multimedia conferencing and more specifically to a distributed software bridge supporting a multimedia conferencing and collaboration apparatus. The apparatus provides for multi-point multi-media, multi-participatory virtual meetings realized through industry-standard communication, computing, and switching hardware means and managed, monitored, protected and controlled by software means.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
In today's global multi-national business world it is not always possible or even desirable to convene a meeting in which persons from many different geographical locations are physically present in one place. It is more productive to look for cost-efficient alternatives, such as teleconferencing. For the most demanding teleconferencing applications requiring multimedia content and resources, advanced video conferencing and web conferencing solutions are available. A conference call is an efficient, inexpensive way to gather individuals and groups from multiple different locations together in a virtual meeting to converse in an orderly manner using standard communications technology. Conference calls have many common business applications, serving as a medium for staff meetings, training sessions, consultation, crisis management and more. Companies in various different industries benefit from audio conferencing. In the financial industry, for instance, corporations and investment banks commonly use conference calls for earnings releases, investor relations and stockholder meetings, as well as for the timely release of critical information through analyst calls. In sales and marketing, conference calls are an efficient medium for exchanging information on orders and pricing, forecasting industry trends and making new product announcements. Public relations firms use conference calls to make corporate announcements, issue promotional reviews and news releases and announce special events and programs. Companies in these and many other industries have recognized the benefits of using conference calls: improved communication, better dissemination of information, reduced travel costs and increased productivity.
In the field of communications, a bridge is a micro-processor controlled device which has a multiplicity of parts that can be interconnected in a variety of ways for connecting multiple telephone lines to each other. Bridges are often used to establish multi-party conference calls. As the demand for conference call services increases, improvements are needed in the flexibility, responsiveness and data carrying capability of the service. A bridge may include any number of parts which can service many calls. Currently operating conferencing systems are typically supported via hardware based conference bridges with some of the systems allowing for software-controlled bridges. Bridges are assigned to and support a conference in a non-flexible manner such that once a bridge is assigned it remains associated with the conference until the conference is terminated. As a result the number of conference participants should be determined in advance and the load on the allocated bridge is typically pre-determined. A bridge designed in such a manner does not enable dynamic bandwidth allocation during multi-participant meetings. Bridge load capacity inefficiency and bandwidth limitation makes video conferencing and multi-media conferencing difficult. Existing bridges typically support either only Personal Computer (PC) audio or phone audio but not a mixed session where some of the participants speak using a PC and others using a phone.
It would be easily perceived by one with ordinary skills in the art that in order to provide for efficient real-time multi-media multi-point teleconferencing, there is a need for a new type of conference bridge that will provide for real-time bridging, real-time data distribution, dynamic in-conference load allocation, and substantially reduced bandwidth requirements.
The present invention describes a bridge for enabling a teleconference for telecollaboration event between two or more participants. The participants are connected to two or more servers. The servers cooperate in order to support efficient multi-media multi-point event. One or more of the servers can be a hosting server and one or more other servers can be on-premise servers, wherein each server is connected to an at least one other server, and each participant device is connected to one server. The participants can use any phone, or any computing platform, or a combination thereof.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, there is thus provided in a distributed teleconferencing system operating in a data communication network, a bridge apparatus for bridging and routing one or more integrated data streams, the software bridge comprising two or more communication servers connected to the data communications network, the communication servers perform cooperatively for bridging of audio, video and data streams and applicative data distributing during a teleconferencing or telecollaboration event between two or more participants. Optionally, the bridge is a software bridge. One or more of the at least two communication servers can be connected to one or more client devices. Optionally, one or more additional communication servers connect to any of the at least two communication servers. Additional communication servers can be automatically added or removed dynamically during an event. Within the bridge, an at least one communication server can be located within an organization, and an at least one communication server can be located in public network. The integrated data stream can comprise audio data, video data or digital data. Within the bridge, a first participant is optionally connected a first communication server during the teleconferencing or telecollaboration event, and a second participant is optionally connected a second communication server during teleconferencing or telecollaboration event. Optionally, one participant is using a telephony device to connect to the teleconferencing or telecollaboration event, wherein the telephony device is linked to one of the communication servers via an Internet Protocol gateway and a private branch exchange.

Optionally, a first participant using a telephony device calls a first communication server of the at least two communication servers, and a second participant using a telephony device calls a second communication server of the at least two communication servers. The bridge apparatus can further comprise one or more server manager connected to the data communications network, for managing and controlling the communication servers. Optionally, the communication servers are linked to a communication center installed on a computing platform for managing and controlling the teleconferencing and telecollaboration event. Within the bridge apparatus, the communicative servers can be distributed across the data communications network. The data communications network is optionally the Internet. Optionally one or more of the communication servers includes a materials server component for providing applicative materials to a participant client device; a conferencing data multiplexer and distribution component for receiving one or more conferencing and collaboration data streams from one or more client devices, or from one or more communications servers and forwarding a data stream to a client device or to a communications server; and a telephony component for handling and connecting telephony devices to the teleconferencing and telecollaboration event. Optionally, the conferencing data multiplexer and distribution component also mixes the streams into a single mixed data stream. The sent data stream can be the single mixed data stream or one or more of the received conferencing and collaboration data streams.
Another aspect of the disclosed invention discloses in a teleconferencing system a bridging method for cooperatively routing integrated data streams during a teleconferencing and telecollaboration event, the cooperative bridging method comprising: creating a conferencing or collaboration event on a communication center by a participant; querying the communication center concerning new teleconferencing or telecollaboration events by a proxy remote controller; notifying the proxy remote controller concerning a new teleconferencing or telecollaboration event by the communication center; assigning the event to the proxy remote controller by the communication center; obtaining a network site tree of available computing and communication platforms for the event from a server manager by the proxy remote controller; selecting a computing and communication platform from each network site by the proxy remote controller using load balancing technology; sending a load request to the proxy agent of all the computing and communications platforms in the network sites tree by the proxy remote controller; receiving an active process load request by a proxy agent of a communication server installed on a main computing platform; receiving a sleeping process load request by an at least one proxy agents of an at least one communication server installed on an at least one other computing and communication platforms; loading an active process of the communication server on the main computing and communications platform by the proxy agent of the communication server; connecting the active process to the proxy remote controller; and sending a process ready command to the proxy remote controller and the multiplexer.

The present invention will be understood and appreciated more fully from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
An apparatus and method for multimedia teleconferencing and telecollaboration that supports multi-point multi-media multi-participatory virtual meetings, is disclosed. The apparatus and method utilize industry-standard communication, computing, and switching hardware means. The virtual meeting, such as a teleconferencing and telecollaboration session or event is set up, managed, monitored, protected and controlled by software. Telecollaboration relates to a cooperation of multiple, possibly remote parties in concurrent working on a task, having a discussion comprising of audio and/or video and/or one or more shared documents or applications, such as a written document, a presentation, instruction codes or any other type of document. Any party can be connected via a telephone of any kind, a computer, or a telephone and a computer.
The proposed teleconferencing and telecollaboration system is supported by a novel enhanced conferencing bridge, preferably implemented as one or more software routines, modules or other components, cooperating to perform the disclosed invention, which will be referred herein after as the softbridge. The multimedia softbridge enables enterprise-class voice, Web (data), and video teleconferencing. The multimedia softbridge is an all-software, distributed media server architecture that efficiently routes, bridges, and manages integrated voice, digital data, video or other multi-media streams across multiple network sites in real-time and supports multiple devices as end points. The multimedia softbridge includes media services, session control, content distribution, and any-device access layer. The multimedia softbridge can leverage current investment in Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructures of an enterprise to deliver dynamic provisioning of communication servers in real-time for virtually unlimited scalability. A ready addition of communication servers running on industry-standard hardware in order to achieve any capacity requirement is provided. The apparatus provides for high operational availability by providing automatic reconnections and intelligent server selections. As a result, substantially optimal uptime and performance metrics are achieved. Sensitive conferences are made secure as well as data and network applications. Security is achieved via authentication and protection protocols which are integrated with existing security processes and technologies, such as directory services, reverse proxy servers, single sign-on capabilities, encryption, and the like.

If the user attempts to create a conference then the ICC 106 defines a new conference and consequently manages the conference. Further servers can be added to ICS 108, 110, 112 in order to provide adequate service to participants in a specific event, in accordance with the work load on the ICSs. However, ICS 108, 110, 112 are not limited to being connected to a specific event, but can be active in multiple simultaneous events. In accordance with the requests of one or more conference participants, Data generated by participants of an event can be distributed among one or more participating devices 120, 122, 124, 126, 128 via one or more ICS 108, 110, 112 of softbridge 104. As shown in
The present invention enables one or more participant in a teleconferencing event to connect through a phone, either fixed or mobile, and one or more participants to connect using a PC. Each participant receives the data that can be used by the device he is using. For example, a PC user will receive video and audio data, while a phone participant will receive only audio data. Further, the PC of a user can be bound to a phone of the same user and control it, e.g. issue a mute or unmute command so that voice will be transferred or stopped from being transferred from the phone to the conference.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the client applications include a) a Web browser which is used to access the ICC, browse the ICC catalog, create events through the web user interface (UI), and access live events, b) Participant application which is launched by the web browser when accessing a live event, where these applications connect to the ICS for the live data stream and use HTTP queries to retrieve information from the ICC, such as for example, the event information page that is displayed for every user that enters an event). c) Outlook AddIn that enables users to schedule events from a Microsoft Outlook installed on their desktops. The Outlook AddIn uses internal calls over HTTP to establish the functionality of creating a new event, setting the event attributes and registering users to the event., and d) an optional Communications Gateway for allowing the user to register with new ICCs and access registered ICCs. The event closure procedure is implemented by each Px. The procedure receives from the Px the following parameters: a) ICC URL, b) file name to upload, c) protocol to use (HTTP/HTTPS), d) Proxy URL, and e) username and password. The procedure also uploads the recording and attendance report.
The present invention discloses a distributed apparatus for teleconferencing events, wherein multiple servers cooperate in a single event, thus providing participants with a closer or a faster-responding server, thus lowering the price or improving the response time of the servers. The connection between servers is dynamic, and more servers may be added, i.e. connected to an existing server when the number of participants increases beyond a certain limit. Alternatively, one or more servers can be disconnected when participants leave the event. The present invention enables one or more participant in a teleconferencing event to connect through a phone, either fixed or mobile, and one or more participants to connect using a PC. PC users use the audio input and output of the computers to hear the audio data as heard by a phone user over the phone. Further, the same user may see the video on the computer's display while hearing the audio and speaking over a telephone. Each participant receives the data that can be used by the device he is using. For example, a PC user will receive video and audio data, while a phone participant will receive only audio data. The PC of a user can have control over the phone of the user and issue for example a mute or unmute command to the phone.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove. Rather the scope of the present invention is defined only by the claims, which follow.

Actors get real about what it's really like to film a sex scene for a movie — and it's usually not as hot as you think.
Sadly, it appears the vast majority of people cannot.
You probably would never have guessed that these celebs are the same exact age.
As it turns out, some of our childhood idols turned out to be smokin' hot.
Another arrest leaves Even Stevens fans shaking their heads.
From Justin Bieber to a Jonas Brother, here's a look at some of our favorite good boys gone bad. You're welcome.
The actor's one-minute motivational clip is all the tough love you need.
"He was just wasted."
Shia LaBeouf's apology/explanation tour has rolled out during the past few weeks, but while the 'Fury' star has finally spoken out about his more, uh, wild times over the past year or so, there are other people involved who haven't been quite as chatty. Last night, 'Cabaret' star Alan Cumming finally righted that on 'Conan.'
Shia LaBeouf has been known to utilize some ... how should we put it? ... unconventional acting methods. While he dropped acid for 'Charlie Countryman' and sent director Lars von Trier his own sex tapes for 'Nymphomaniac,' he was all about embracing the pain for his role in David Ayer's 'Fury.'
Shia LaBeouf reportedly checked himself into a rehab in Hollywood this afternoon, June 30.
Shia LaBeouf is turning into Shia LaBuffoon. The actor, who was supposedly retiring from public life after his plagiarism drama, keeps digging a hole for himself. He headbutted a guy at a pub in London and then offered an apology to other bar patrons.

"Terrorism on American Soil" by Joseph McCann :: OFF THE PAGE on WSKG Radio
wskg.com [cached]
SENTIENT PUBLICATIONS: Reviews - Terrorism on American Soil
www.sentientpublications.com [cached]
Joseph T. McCannTerrorism has plagued the United States throughout its history, though some seem to believe it began with the Oklahoma City bombing and the Sept. 11 attacks. A new book by a Binghamton University adjunct faculty member argues that studying the history of terrorism in this country can lead to an understanding of the changing nature of the problem, methods for coping with the threat and the psychological, political and legal principles involved. Joseph T. McCann's Terrorism on American Soil, published this fall by Sentient Publications, features more than three dozen case studies of attacks in the United States, dating from Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865.

Hang the Ten Commandments Back Up!Written by Steve Farrell
I am a fan of hanging the Ten Commandments (and the other great fundamentals of the Judeo-Christian moral system) back up in every public school showcase, every "hall of liberty," or more to the point, in every public classroom right beside the American Flag so that they might be memorized, discussed, and lived by teachers and students alike as students and teachers once were free to do … and did do, because they understood the connection between a truly religious and moral people and liberty.
The essence of Gangster Government was summed by a comment President Barack Hussein Obama made in October, 2010:
We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.
Prices at gas pumps are at some of the highest levels ever and rising. Americans want answers. In particular they want the names and numbers of those to blame. To answer that question perhaps they should simply consult the phone book or look in the mirror. Because the main culprits in the rising gas prices aren't necessarily members of OPEC, but the American people who support policies that block new drilling and the building of new refineries on American soil. It's that simple.
Selling YellowstoneWritten by Becky Akers
"The United States may have run up a huge debt, but it is not a poor country…," the Washington Post announced on Monday as Our Rulers hit their credit-limit. "The federal government owns roughly 650 million acres of land, close to a third of the nation's total land mass. Plus a million buildings. Plus electrical utilities like the Tennessee Valley Authority. And an interstate highway system."
You might think someone found guilty of 28,060 counts of accessory to murder must have done something wrong. But columnist and TV commentator Pat Buchanan, long a defender of accused and now convicted war criminal John Demjanjuk, has noticed something missing in reports from the courtroom in Munich, where the verdicts against the Ukraine native and U.S. citizen were announced last week. You could find it, if you are attentive and persistent enough, in the BBC report under the headline: "John Demjanjuk Guilty of Nazi Death Camp."

Have you ever walked into a hotel and thought, 'Man, this isn't how I pictured things when I booked the room.' While you can't exactly change the layout or furnishings of the room – unless you switch hotels – a new partnership between Marriott and Samsung could let you escape the reality of your humdrum lodgings for a bit.

Marriott, Samsung Partner To Offer Hotel Guests Virtual Reality Headsets, Because Why Not?
I Signed Up For Samsung's "Ultimate Test Drive" And All I Got Was A Defective Phone With No Way To Return It
A few weeks ago, Samsung announced a new promotion called "Ultimate Test Drive," wherein iPhone users (and only iPhone users) could sign up to receive a Galaxy smartphone and try it out for a month, for just a $1 processing fee. Consumerist reader Alex figured he might as well take Samsung up on its offer, and signed up to get a Galaxy Note 5 for the month. He's now stuck with a Samsung phone that doesn't work, no way to return it and the company hasn't responded to any of his requests for help. [More]
Samsung Wants iPhone Users To Test Drive A Galaxy Smartphone For 30 Days
If you're an iPhone user who's been flirting with the idea of switching to an Android phone, it's understandable that you might be resistant to change — it can take some getting used to when you switch from one operating system to another, in either direction. Samsung wants to take that uncertainty away for iPhone users with a new promo that allows those folks to test drive one of a few Galaxy smartphones for a month. [More]
Google, Samsung, And LG To Start Pushing Monthly Security Patches That You Still Won't Get

Samsung Gives Up On Plan To Create One Remote To Rule All Content
A lot of us no longer just watch traditional TV on our television sets. If you've seen this episode of House Hunters, maybe you'll fire up your Amazon Fire Box, or Apple TV, or Roku to see what's streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Hulu — all different services each with different interfaces and content listings. Samsung was hoping to introduce a remote control device that would put all of this info at your fingertips without having to switch around between apps, but that dream appears to have died. [More]
Samsung Rolling Out Security Update To Fix Keyboard Vulnerability That Affects Up To 600M Galaxy Phones

Video Shows Galaxy S6 Edge Will Bend; Samsung Says It's Misleading
You might remember a little controversy last fall called bendgate, in which Apple's new-at-the-time iPhone 6 Plus was found to bend if you applied enough pressure. Following the flurry of stories and issues surrounding that device, it comes as no surprise that Samsung's newest smartphone, the Galaxy S6 Edge, would be subjected to similar tests, thus introducing us to a possible bendgate 2.0.

Who's Making The Money When Your Smart TV Watches You Back?
We've heard plenty of times in the past few years that if you have a smart TV — one that's internet-enabled, for all that app goodness — that it might be watching you just as much as you watch it. Samsung in particular generates a lot of questions about how secure your data is with your TV, as do LG and Vizio. But there's a missing piece to the equation. If your TV is watching you, why? Who stands to gain (in the sense of cold hard cash) from your data? [More]
Privacy Advocates Call For Investigation Into Samsung Smart TVs
Samsung's Smart TVs have come under scrutiny recently after people learned the company's privacy policy hinted that things we say within earshot of our televisions may be recorded and uploaded to third-party transcription services. While executives for the company have worked to calm people's fears, a privacy group is now asked federal regulators to take a look into the matter. [More]
Samsung Smart TVs Don't Encrypt Speech Or Transcriptions
Last week, the world collectively freaked out when we learned that Samsung's smart TVs can take things that we say in our living rooms and uploads them to a third-party transcription service. The gadget-maker tried to calm us all down by explaining how the service works, but there's a problem: people may have assumed that data is encrypted. It's not. [More]
LG Executives Indicted For Vandalizing Samsung Washers In Germany
Last year, Samsung accused employees of competing conglomerate LG of vandalizing some of its high-end laundry machines at a trade show in Berlin. Vandalizing? Yes, the group is accused of pushing down on the door of a front-loading machine to sabotage it. [More]
Smart TV Users Accuse Samsung Of Inserting Pepsi Ads In Their Videos
If you own a smart TV, you probably purchased it thinking about all of the ways that you can use it to watch streaming services and your own library of video files. Samsung sees something different, though: they see a great big Internet-connected screen which they can use to splash ads on. It began three years ago with ads on the TV's home screen, and now users are accusing the company of inserting advertisements where they don't belong. [More]
Authorities In Three Major Cities Say Smartphone Thefts Have Dropped After Implementation Of "Kill Switches"
Times used to be, having a smartphone in your hand meant someone probably wanted to steal it. And while that may still be true, authorities in San Francisco, New York and London say the number of stolen smartphones has dropped dramatically since manufacturers started including "kill switches" that allow phones to be turned off remotely if they fall into the wrong hands. [More]
Samsung Clarifies Smart TV Privacy Policy That Freaked Everyone Out
This past weekend, someone noticed that Samsung reserves the right to record things we say near our TVs and upload them to a third party, and for some reason this freaked people out. Samsung has solved the problem by removing the problematic sentence from their privacy policy, replacing it with an expanded explanation of what uploading your speech to a third party really means. [More]
What You Say To Your Samsung Smart TV Is 'Transmitted To A Third Party'
It was almost three years ago that we started to wonder whether it was possible for smart TVs to watch and listen to anyone in the immediate area of the television. It's possible, but could it really happen? Over the weekend, the Daily Beast pointed out a single incredibly creepy sentence in the privacy policy for Samsung's smart TVs, and we all began to wonder what our TV sets are really up to. [More]

Emily's been shipped off to Iowa to live with her uberconservative cousins. Aria's boyfriend is behind bars because of her. Spencer's afraid she was involved in Ali's murder. But Hanna's fate is far worse: She's clinging to life in the hospital because she knew too much.
If these girls don't start listening to me, Hanna's going to look like the lucky one.

 Alternatively, if your JSON is acting more as a lookup table -- strip
 off the one-tuple and use proplists:get_value - it's *very* efficient
 with small lists (based on rough measurements, < 200 items).

I feel obliged to point out that for {Key,Value} lists, it usually makes better sense to use lists:keyfind/3 instead of functions from the proplists module. Performance-wise, because it's faster by a factor of 3x for small lists and 10-15x for lists of length 30+ (keyfind is implemented in C, and so is hard to beat). And arguably semantic-wise as well, because the proplists module don't work quite the way many believe (it's not just [{_,_}] it handles).

Whether that micro-benchmark difference has any impact on your system as a whole depends of course on how heavily it's used -- it did on one I worked on once --, but my view is that, all other things being equal, there's no reason to adopt proplists as a habit if it offers no other advantages over more lightweight functions.

(Assuming that 'dict' is the obvious alternative when dealing with lookup tables: My quick meaurements indicate that proplists:get_value() becomes slower than dict:fetch() at 6 elements; for lists:keyfind() vs. dict that doesn't happen until ~140 elements. At which point proplists is 16x slower than both.)

Just my 2˘ - no nitpicking at all, it's just that you brought up performance...
(in the same sentence as proplists)

15 hours of magic in the kingdom
Monday, December 14, 2015
Our Monday started early. After all, Extra Magic Hours opened the Magic Kingdom to us at 8am. Our goal was to make rope drop in the front row for a prime view of Mickey and friends as they arrived on the Walt Disney World Railroad.
We didn't quite make it, but were going through security at that time and got to see the action from a distance...does it count?
One quick photo to start the day and then we were off...
We were people on a mission to head toward New Fantasyland, but you're never in a too much of a hurry to have a quick conversation with Goofy at the edge of Town Square.
We had kids 'helping navigate' in two ways.
One somewhat successful by map...though frequently the map would get turned upside down.
And one who constantly tried the 'follow me even though I have no idea where I'm headed' method.
And then of course the obligatory castle photo.
The crowds were so light that there were several other photos I wanted to get, but the crew would have no further part of that. They were ready to GO!
I had done enough reading to know that Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was the place to hit before the crowds caused the line to grow, so it was Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho for us! Awesome coaster...easily in my top three ride list at Disney.
And for those that wondered if Mom still had her love of thrill rides...
|(my prediction? she'll be a 'hands up' coaster junkie well into her 90s)
From there we walked right into Maurice & Belle's cottage and experienced our first bit of princess magic. Nat was utterly spellbound.
Caleb may have been as well, but he was too busy playing the role of Beast dancing with Belle for us to verify. He was a bit giggly though which implies that our hunches were correct...
Even the big girls who proclaimed being 'too old to like the princesses' were happy to stop for a photo with Belle.
We also learned that just because you are older doesn't mean you can't enjoy a good carousel ride.
Of course what venture into Fantasyland would be complete without getting the most loved...or hated...Disney song of all stuck in your head? It's a Small World remains one of my very favorite rides, there's just something about knowing this was Disney in the beginning.
By this point our granola bar breakfasts had worn off, so we decided to take advantage of our free dining plan to get a mid-morning pick me up. I'm pretty sure a waffle has never tasted so good. We sat and enjoyed made to order waffles spread with a thick layer of Nutella and then smothered with strawberries and bananas within view of Cinderella's castle.
If only all snack days were so good...
As we headed toward Frontierland we happened upon a chance to meet Tiana. Chocolate was hurriedly wiped off of faces could smile our best. My favorite part of the interaction was when one of the crew asked, "So do you like kissing frogs?"
And then we were off to Big Thunder Mountain. Several members of the family declared this their favorite ride at Disney. I lost track of how many times we ended up riding. My only regret about this coaster is that there are no hidden cameras to catch you in action.
Lunch at Columbia Harbor House refueled us all and then a few character meet and greets we next on the agenda.
And this seems like a good time for a little comparison from our last trip to Disney in March of 2012.
|taken on DQs 5th birthday...Caleb was asleep in the stroller when I took these three back
I die.
After we got our fill of meeting princesses for the day, we headed on over to Splash Mountain to cool off a bit. Daniel was SO EXCITED as he had been turned away from this one at launch time on our last visit because he was right at 40 inches back then.
As you can see, some of us enjoyed the thrill more than others. Mom proves that even Grandmas LOVE Disney World!
Well, she did. Until she was drenched on Splash Mountain. I mean, water was dripping from her pants for an hour. Thankfully she was a much better sport than I was when I got a second shower for the day on Pirates of the Caribbean. Mom, Ky and I got so wet on that one that Kylie and I have vowed never to ride it again.
Nothing that a Dole Whip, a Jungle Cruise, Flying Carpets and the Enchanted Tiki Room couldn't fix though.
For dinner we decided to get off our feet for a while and so after heading back to New Fantasyland to ride Dumbo and the Barnstormer we took the Railroad back to the entrance and then a boat to the Wilderness Lodge to enjoy Roaring Fork cafe. Bonus is that they have the largest Christmas tree I've ever seen in the lobby.
One of our kids may have reported their favorite part of the day was riding the boat across the lagoon between the MK and the Lodge, so I'm glad we took the extra time for a meal. Besides, a bit of sitting down was welcome at that point...
Upon our return to the Magic Kingdom we caught the end of the Electrical Parade, viewed Wishes and of course, what's a day in Disney without hanging with the mouse?
All in all we logged 15 hours of magic. Not bad for a group ranging from 6 to 70+...
And we were just getting geared up for the rest of the week!

and a half
We have a new 'halfer' in the house.
And I think he was pretty excited about it...
Actually the tipping point was last night. But unfortunately a raging ear infection had him down for the count. As in, he put himself down for a nap on the couch after school.
Thankfully a few doses of 'pink medicine' does wonders against an ear infection and tonight our guy was ready to
stuff his face with donuts be celebrated.
Each kid got to choose two donuts tonight...one for now and one for breakfast. (I'm sorry teachers, but a half birthday is a special occasion you know).
My little squeeze chose to indulge in the chocolate 'kreme' filled, powdered sugar covered concoction tonight and save his vanilla 'kreme' filled chick donut for in the morning.
I think he enjoyed it.
And of course he was serenaded by his faithful companions. Because nothing says 'Happy Half Birthday' like your siblings singing a rendition of Happy Birthday at the Krispy Kreme while everyone is licking frosting and powdered sugar off their fingers and lips.
It's a little silly, but it's what we do...
At 7 1/2 you are still as much my snuggle bug as ever. You willingly hold hands with me in public and will still kiss me in front of your friends. I recognize that this won't last forever and so I treasure each time you slide your hand in mine and each time I get a sticky syrup kiss.
You still enjoy reading Horrible Harry, Ricky Ricotta and his Mighty Robot, and any of the My Name Is series. You get along well (90% of the time) with all your siblings, but I especially love it when I get to eavesdrop on you and Natalie playing brothers and sisters. Playing games is your love language and I repeatedly get schooled by you when we play Memory or Mancala. You've played soccer, basketball and are now wanting to try your hand at tennis.
I love to listen to you sing and explain each Sunday what your take home is from your lesson at church. Your heart is a special one indeed and I'm so glad that I've been entrusted with raising you.
I love you more than I could ever express!

the magic begins
A prelude to magic...getting a text before even crossing the Florida state line that says, "Your resort room is ready..." and then you just park the car, grab your bags, and use your magic band to open your door.
Oh, and it turns out that the pool is just outside your door. Literally. Outside your door.
|seriously, I took this photo standing in the doorway of our room
But not for too long.
Because bedtime.
After all, a pool at a Disney resort is fun.
But your first day at the Magic Kingdom is even better...

the great outdoors at Thanksgiving
My kids are a curious blend of 'little bit suburbs, little bit country kids.' We live in a delightful neighborhood and enjoy the camaraderie of the community in which the kids go to the school and swim on the neighborhood swim team with many of the same kids.
But they also love going to Grandma's house...and I love helping them explore the land where I grew up. Thanksgiving this year provided some delightful weather to spend time OUTSIDE!
There's the sittin' tree.
And the creek!
And the 'Big Bottom Meadow'...named because it is the big meadow at the bottom of the hill.
We climbed, splashed and explored. And then when we got back up to the house and waited for the next meal, there were a few games of freeze tag. Traci and I may have a few years on the kids, but it didn't stop us from claiming victory against the seven of them.
As always, we fully embraced our time in the country. Good to know that it will always be there when we need a little break from the 'burbs.

Wordless Wednesday {Thanksgiving photoshoot...3 months late}
Posted by Kristi at 10:05 PM 1 comments
one last visit
While I usually look forward to going home for Thanksgiving, this year I wasn't so ready for our annual trip.
That's because I knew that the day before we had a big job in front of us...clearing out Kathy's house. Ian arranged for some of our friends down there to meet us later in the afternoon to help load furniture onto the truck, giving us the morning hours together in the house. I arrived before Ian and slowly walked through, crying and taking pictures in each room as standing there made me feel a bit closer to her. Then Ian arrived after going to the bank and I cried some more, this time with him.
Eventually the tears dried and we got to work. The first several hours we worked quietly, chatting about how certain pieces reminded us of his mom, deciding what we wanted to keep and what would bless someone else if donated.
It was mournful and emotional and yet beautiful at the same time.
Around mid-day Mom and Traci showed up with the kids. Having them show up was a welcome break from the emotional task at hand.
They miss their grandma dearly.
But they are kids.
And there is great joy in a tire swing and teddy bears and just being together.
And while playing with them in the backyard set us back on the packing schedule, her grandchildren provided a breath of fresh air in the afternoon.
I suspect that Kathy was smiling down as we got the gang back up into her treehouse one last time, there was plenty of evening left after they headed back to Mom's for us to finish up our chore.
