I loved the detail in the decorations. The Mickey Mouse Pumpkins that adorned the streetlights were so festive and cute. I was amazed by the cleanliness of the park and it is reflected in these photos along the street scape of Main Street USA in Magic Kingdom. I picked up a few Christmas ornaments in one of their Christmas shoppes and the girls wanted their picture taken on the holiday carriage outside the shoppe. I noticed these little lizards everywhere. The last two photos are of beautiful decorative and accent pieces I noticed when we visited the Asia part of the Animal Kingdom Park.
The next president’s first 100 days will set the stage for America’s new environmental policy. Take action and send the presidential candidates an Environmental To-Do List for those first 100 days and then.....Choose your freebie.
Frontman Flea has said this is the best video they ever did. The directors interviewed and auditioned people who originally came to California to achieve some sort of fame and people who play music just for the sake of playing music. During the callback for the auditioned people, their second audition was filmed and the members of the Chili Peppers surprisingly entered the room during auditions to join in playing along.
I remember first hearing this song when I was a young girl of 12. My family was embarking on a new journey. We were leaving Canada and heading to South America for a couple of years as this was where my fathers work was leading him. I had such ambivalent feelings and I remember latching on to this Canadian musical gem when I heard it during this period in my life. Music was and always been a source of comfort for me and this song gave me Canadian comfort when I needed it most. I love this video that includes a clip of the band playing the song with Bubbles and Barenaked Ladies member Ed Robertson.
More Disney Photos......The gardens were imaculately groomed yet I never saw anyone working on them. I believe this is a job left for the nightcrew. The picture with Garth and the girls is at Epcot. We loved visiting all the different countries of the world. While we were visiting it was the wine and food festival with many delicious samples to be had. We went for an amazing and interactive dinner at the German restaurant featured behind them called "Biergarten."
We only caught a glimpse of the daytime parade and the float that is pictured has the evil queen on it. The waiting area for the Dinosaur ride had an incredible display of Dinosaur skeletons and memorabilia. I found there was always interesting things in the wait areas prior to rides that could make time pass fairly quickly.
Thw incredible Tree of Life was the central focal point and gathering area in the Theme Park Animal Kingdom. It was an amazing structure to behold and I don't believe the photo does it enough justice. Interestingly, there is an inside to that tree which features a fun 3D show inspired by "A bugs life." The last photo of Garth and the girls is them standing along the many streets which were featured in Africa when we went to the Animal Kingdom Park.
This new book tackles every facet of the veteran actor, from his supreme dancing skills to his little-known cooking ability. Christopher Walken A to Z: The Man, The Movies, The Legend by Robert Schnakenberg has included things that will have fans walking away learning something new about the guy in these 288 pages.
We just spent a magical and marvellous time in Disney World last week and a great time was had by all. I am missing it already. I took plenty of photos and will be sharing them here over the next few days. Bear with me it if it gets to be too much.....this is really for my parents who like to see my photos that I post. The theme parks were festively decorated for the fall season and the gardens and grounds looked spectacular. The girls loved Magic Kingdom so much that we spent 3 days in that park alone. I think we paced ourselves very well and took a break each day mid afternoon to return to the resort for a siesta and a swim. We boarded the riverboat cruise twice......once during the day and another day during the evening. The photo with Mickeys Hat from Fantasia in the background is in the theme park MGM Hollywood. It was our least favorite of all four parks. I think we were all expecting something more. I included the photo of the green beetle because I thought it was pretty. Lots of different little critters scurrying the ground in Florida. The nightime photo of Disney is just before the evening parade. It was incredible even during the rain. The nightime photo of the castle is just a brief glimpse of one of the many hues the castle turns during twilight hours.
My father revealed this bit of interesting and surprising news about these local Newmarket Boys earlier this afternoon. First Weezer and now Wisteria Lane. What a year for these boys.
I am spending the holiday weekend with family and catching up on some of the important news bits I missed while I was out of the country. My magical vacation of Disney was void of all news and every television at our resort was tuned into the Disney channel. I just learned that Howard Stern finally got married and Eddie Van Halen is engaged to his girlfriend/publicist Janie Liszewski.
Check out this video demonstration of this electronic drum kit shirt which includes playable drums on the front. Just tap them, and you can create seven different drum sounds at adjustable volume. The shirt requires four AAA batteries, but it's machine washable.
Garth bought me this album in the summer and when I listen to it being played the sound is so acoustically pleasing. This double LP reminds me of Cat Stevens, "Tea for the Tillerman" & " Teaser and the Firecat." All these albums have such a magical, being there sensation in the way they are recorded. Jack Johnson is truly a musical fanatic because he cares how the music is recorded and doesn't fall into the digital dilema.
The song's title comes from a happening during a practice session. After playing for a while and not knowing what time it was, a member suggested that it was "nine in the afternoon".
Santi White, better known by her stage name Santogold, is an American songwriter, producer, and singer. Her debut album Santogold was released in 2008. "L.E.S. Artistes" was written after Santi White moved to New York City. She has said the single "is playing on the fact that everyone tries to make things fancy and it's really pretentious" and "about being accosted by the New York scene and the scenesters and hipsters, who are really not artists and are just pretending to be. They're all about just being seen." Contrary to popular belief, the title stands for New York's Lower East Side. "It's not a French thing," White stated in an interview with Pop Justice.
A man walking down the street noticed a small boy trying to reach the doorbell of a house. Even when he jumped up, he couldn’t quite reach it.The man decided to help the boy, walked up on to the porch and pushed the doorbell. He looked down at the boy, smiled and asked, “What now?”
The main difference between http:// and https:// is............. all about keeping you secure
HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.
The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure".
If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right?
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://.
If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number! Source: Beautiful World
Secondhand Serenade is an American acoustic rock solo project fronted by vocalist and guitarist John Vesely. The pseudonym Secondhand Serenade is a reference to the way in which his songs are 'serenades' sung to his wife. People around the world are merely getting to hear the songs 'second-hand'.
I will be offline for a week as we are headed out for a much needed family vacation. I have done some advance posting to fill the void of my absence...ha,ha,ha.
The past year has been quite a year for all of us, however things continue to progress onward and upward despite a few setbacks here and there.
Brooke and Alley have been so well adjusted and tolerant to all the curves thrown at them in the last year.
It is their time now. I want to go and celebrate with them the good times that lay ahead for our family and hopefully bring some closure to a difficult year.
We will arrive in Orlando by plane Friday morning at 9:55 AM.

I will give you a recap and post photos upon our return............until then, be well.

Time Of My Life is a Daily Photo Aging Project by Dan Hanna. From June 1, 1991, when he was 31 years old, to September 17, 2007, when he was 48 years old, he took a photo of himself every day. He reminds me of a young Bob Hope.
"Chapter 27" is the movie where Jared Leto gained a ton of weight to play John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman.

And Iron Man which has already been added to our ever expanding movie collection.
I took Brooke to her first concert last night........Weezer at the Toronto Air Canada Centre. The opening acts were Tokyo Police Club, a local bunch of lads from Brampton. They sounded great live and I was pretty impressed.
The group was in awe of playing at such a large venue and had the house lights turned on, so they could take a photo from their perspective, of the mass of people they were playing for......endearingly humble. Angels and Airwaves were the next opening act. They're fronted by former Blink-182 lead singer Tom DeLonge.
At about 10:00, Weezer finally hit the stage to a pumped and energy fuelled crowd. They played a magnificent 20 or so set of new and familiar tunes. They gave plenty of shout out to the Toronto crowd and interacted with fans on the floor asking them where they were from. Towards the end of the show and entire orchestra was brought out with 40-50 people with instruments who we later learned were local Toronto Musicians to accompany them as they played, "Island in the sun." It was spectacular with different solos being featured as directed by Rivers Cuomo. It was chaotic, happy fun.
We were seated on the left side of the stage in section 108 and the floor was fun to watch with a show of moshing, body surfing and beach balls being tossed. The song set of the night included “Hash Pipe” “Dreamin’” “Undone - The Sweater Song” “Automatic” “Say It Ain’t So” “Suzanne” “Troublemaker” “King” “My Name Is Jonas” which is Brookes favorite. “Pink Triangle” “Pork and Beans” “Keep Fishin’” “Perfect Situation” “El Scorcho” “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” “Morning Glory” (Oasis cover) “Island In The Sun” “Beverly Hills” “Heart Songs” “Buddy Holly"
The evening ended perfectly as Brooke and I were walking towards the car she slipped her hand in mine and said," Thanks for taking me to my first concert Mom, I had a great time."
I am married to a wonderful man and we have 2 daughters, ages 13 and 10. They are all the loves of my life. I work fulltime as registered nurse in Mental Health. I am the proud owner of a lapdog named Jedi. I am a TV junkie and enjoy following all pop culture.

I no longer wear eye makeup as it is too harsh for my eyes since the radiation but when I did this was my mascara of choice.
