1960's Arithmetic test:
"A logger cuts and sells a truck load of lumber for $100. His cost of production is four-fiths of that amount. What is his profit?"

1970's New Math test:
"A logger exchanges a set (L) of lumber for a set (M) of money. The cardinality of set M is 100. The set C of production costs contains 20 fewer points. What is the cardinality of set P of profits?"

2000's no child left behind version:
"A logger cuts and sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost is $80, and his profit is $20. Find and circle the number 20."

2007's green version:
"An unenlightened logger cuts down a beautiful stand of 100 old growth trees in order to make a $20 profit. Write an essay explaining how you feel about this as a way of making money. Topic for discussion: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel?"

What we have here is a failure to communihttp://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/mare0202/cake.gif..........Cool Hand http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/mare0202/cake.gif

Is it too late to add mine? How about..."Women need a reason for having http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/mare0202/cake.gif men just need a place." Billy Crystal in http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/mare0202/cake.gif Slickers

"Your best? Losers always whine about their best, while winners go home and eat :cake: with the prom queen."

Jungle book is right!

Walt Passed away in 1966, and although Jungle Book was not released until a year after, in 1967, production had completed and it's the last movie Walt himself worked on.

Walt did approve the next project, which would be 1970's the Aristocats, but other than approving the project, Walt had nothing to do with this film's actual production (well other than his influence of course!)

"If you go to college, study hard, and get good grades, you get :cake:, if not, you get us stuck in Iraq." - If anyone deserves cake, it's those in Iraq.

"I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of :cake: — even if I'm in a Cabinet meeting."

"I'm from the Government and I'm here to offer you :cake:" - Yeah...right.

"And there is no :cake: in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the lack of :cake: that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it."

"I invented :cake:"

Ok.... who wants to move to :cake: movie slogans?

Every board and post I post, it takes me to the top of the page and then just as I'm about to read the first one - takes me to the bottom of each then I scroll to the top and WHAMO! :headache: its happens again? Is it cuz everyone is posting somewhere?

Where would a good place to leave something hidden be on the Magic, in a seat cushion in the Walt Disney Theatre? behind some woodwork?

I would think somewhere in the cove cafe. I think the workers there pretty much stay in that area and you could let them know what you are doing. Maybe taped in the inside in the library there.

The 3 of us will have at least 4 cameras (3 stills and a DVD camcorder) so that's going to be a lot of images & video. I was debating on whether to bring DW's new 17" laptop (with the Lightscibe DVD burner) to pull the photos off the various chips but then I saw the Sony DVDirect drive
http://www.sonyburners.com/dvdirect/product.php?ID=1633442038
http://www.learningcenter.sony.us/images/article/Computers/DiscBurners/DVDirect/mc3_UE3.jpg
The nice thing about the MC3 drive is that it will take multiple sources for video and photos (camcorder, DV, digital memory chips) and burn them to DVD....no computer required! :thumbsup2

Now that is cool:cool1: I'll have to consider that one

Gotta share, I had a fantastic lunch today.

A co-worker and I were taken out by a manager in one of the offices we support. Our budget is so non-existent that working lunches are a thing of the past, so it was a nice treat. I can't remember the last time I've actually left the building for lunch.

He took us to the swanky part of town and we sat overlooking the country club's golf course. The food was good, but the service was lacking. The company was great. I'm so stuffed still. No dinner for me tonight.

Glad you got to get out and enjoy part of your work day:thumbsup2

I can't tackle them all, so I'll just nominate DISers.. Divide and conquer people!

So when are our assignments due??:teacher:

We interrupt your regularly schedule chat to bring you this special report from our roving reporter Tuneful...

Folks, an amazing thing happened this afternoon. At about 4:00 pm Pacific time, a miniature piano magically appeared pixiedust: beneath Esteri's chair. She felt compelled to take it out and compose a brilliant, though very short, piano concerto. When it was complete, she orchestrated it for piano, a few strings, 4 clarinets, 4 trumpets, and a drum. :charac2: Esteri easily found a number of 4th and 6th graders to help with the world premier of this amazing new work. It really is too bad we can't pipe the audio through this report.

Thank you Tuneful. And thank you folks for tuning in. We now return you to your regularly scheduled chat....

Question for all you really smart tech people from this really, well let's just be kind and say, ignorant person....

MS Outlook - how do I block an email address so I am no longer bothered by this pestery person?????

Set an Inbox rule that automatically sends email from the given addressee into the trashcan: Tools > Rules and Alerts...

I think there's already a rule template for deleting email from a specific sender.

Andy, would this happen to be the same tree that fell?:cool1:

No that tree (the one I was standing next to) was in my yard, the tree that fell the other day was in my neighbors yard, to the left of us, which can be seen in the second photo way, in the back. If you look close in the first pic, you will see the tree I was standing next to, the tree is in the backyard behind our sn*w covered car. This pic was taken back in 2003 after a 20" plus sn*wfall. That old oak tree is huge, if that ever fell, our house, or the house (to the right) on the other side of us is a goner. I had all the old branches removed from this tree before this pic was taken.

http://inlinethumb36.webshots.com/2403/1063982066026317863S600x600Q85.jpg

Here is a pic of our cute little abode taken from across the street after the sn*wstorm in February 2003. Luckily the storm was over President's Weekend that year, took me about 8 hours of shoveling to dig out the car and the front of the house.

http://inlinethumb58.webshots.com/1657/1063982166026317863S600x600Q85.jpg

I know it's hard to make out, but that's Angelina under the left window at the front of our house. She was out playing on the mound of sn*w as I was digging us out. I forgot to mention, this same weekend, during the storm, our furnance broke down. Luckily, we have Gold Service with our heating company, so they had to send a repairman out to fix the furnance, as he was at our house, a state of emergency was called and he had to get off the road after he finished fixing our furnance.

Been up early to walk my puppies, a shi tzu and a yorkie. I had to wake them up, they were snuggled under the down comforter. Went for their morning walk and now both are now sleeping. In my next life I want to come back as one of them. They are my babies as I have no kids.

I would think somewhere in the cove cafe. I think the workers there pretty much stay in that area and you could let them know what you are doing. Maybe taped in the inside in the library there.

Thanks, Paula! And that's a good idea . . . Andrew, are you on this morning (afternoon?) . . .

I tried like the dickens to get on last night, but I kept getting "kicked off". Really p***ed me off.

Has anybody ever heard of a game called "Chronolgy"? Everybody picks 2 cards to establish a timeline, then you takes turns picking up a card that has an event question on it (.e. the year that panty hose was invented)the person has to guess where in their time line this took place, if they get it right, they get the card, if not,the next person gets a try. It's easy at the beginning but as you accumulate more cards, your timelines get a bit smaller.
When you start out you'll get a timeline of say,2300 BC to 1968, but as you add more cards, the you might have 1777,1779 and 1782 you say the event happened between 1779 and 1782 but the card is actually 1778, it passes to the next guy. The object to get 10 cards.

66,729

Wait, have to add those odd outside ones... 66,846

I think your answer is a little low. You got me to relook at my answer, however, and I think I was a little high. I treated it as 2 puzzles and added together, but that would duplicate many squares.

I think in addition to the outer squares, you need to look at the 2x2, 3x3, etc. starting with the squares not in the outer corners (i.e. cell Row 1, Column 2) and then you need to move over or down from there.

My new method, let me know if I double counted again, would be to do the smaller square puzzle, yielding 66,729, and then adding 29x4, 28x4, 27x4, etc down to 1x4 and then adding 1 for the full outside square. The ?x4 is because you would have 4 sides with different starting points for the 2x2, 3x3 and so on larger squares. The reason you don't square it is because you would double count inner squares of that size.

Doing this I come up with 68,470.

It seems that everyone is sleeping in today! I have been up since 5AM

Yea, me too Karen.................;)

Finished the bill paying just as my brother Pete (from Jacksonville, FL) came knocking at our front door. Pete came up for his best friend's mother's funeral. Big brother to the resuce, Pete forgot his black shoes and black socks, good thing we wear the same size shoes................:lmao:

This afternoon we have to take Angelina to the mall, she needs some "new" summer shorts for our trip the end of the month.

My brother Rob called Thursday night and said he has a used computer for my mom, he will be dropping it off at our house this week so we can take it to her. I know at least one thing I'll be doing while I'm there, setting up the :surfweb: for my mom....................

Speaking of my mom, she just called, got to see what she is calling for.

My mom drove her cousin Ruth up to South Carolina yesterday so Ruth could see her daughter, my mom wanted to check her e-mail messages but was having trouble signing in, it's been so long since she has gotten on a computer she forgot how to sign in..............:rotfl: It's a good thing I set up her account, since I know her user name and password I was able to help her sign in........what a morning around here.................:laughing:

I freaked Hazel out as well this morning............I started setting "some" of our clocks ahead already, she didn't know what time it was when she got up and came out into the livingroom................:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: :laughing:

Happy Weekend to All.

Been up early to walk my puppies, a shi tzu and a yorkie. I had to wake them up, they were snuggled under the down comforter. Went for their morning walk and now both are now sleeping. In my next life I want to come back as one of them. They are my babies as I have no kids.

Have a good day everyone!!!

Belle is a beagle . . . she is 4 (will be 5 in June) . . . Linus is a shelter dog, so not sure exactly what he is, but he looks like a solid black Golden retriever(that kind of body size and coat, but black instead of gold) and he certainly has the personality of a retriever. . . he's 3 (will be 4 in the fall). I'm lucky enough to have friends to take them in when on holiday.

Linus is the best dog I've ever had -- a real friend. My girls always say"If you want to find Mom, find Linus and if you want to find Linus, find Mom" because he follows me around and settles in near my feet where ever I go. The funy thing is that my oldest daughter picked him out as "her" dog but he picked me.

Belle's more of a diva -- finds the most comfortable spot in the house and settles in. She doesn't have too much interest in me unless I'm eating, and then she tries to figure out what she could steal . . . She's really cute, though.

They sound loverly, I had two dogs when I was younger Rex and Shandy lived next to Epping forest then so could walk into the Forest and the dogs had a great run, but now, due to work and no one to look after the dogs daytime or holidays I felt it was best not to have one.

They have a personallity of their own, but when I lost Shandy it was difficult, he was a good age had a stroke and it was a sad end to his life.

I love dogs, is there a place where you can take them for a walk in NY, I know of central park but thats in the middle of Manhatten, again an issue here now is the limits on where you can take dogs for a walk.

For longer walks I do take them into Central Park (5 blocks away), but they have to remain leashed . . . more commonly, I take them to Carl Schurz Park just a few blocks away because there is a dog run (large fenced in area where dogs can go off leash and play with other dogs). Of course where ever you go you have to clean up after them, so it's sort of like being in the "diaper stage" with kids (seeing more poop than you really ever wanted) forever!

For a quick one, they just go once around the block here.

Seriously if you want to take the dog with you on a cruise look into the Queen Mary 2 and the new Queen Victoria coming out at the end of the year, as they have kennels onboard. You have to call them to book the spot for the dog as online it always shows full for some reason. I think it is because they have to make sure they are under a certain size

Andrew could answer this, but in the past weren't dogs coming into the UK from the states kenneled for something like 6 months? It must not be true anymore or people certainly wouldn't pay all that money to have their dogs cruise over just to have them quarantined . . . or maybe it's for the West bound trip from the UK to NY?

(Sorry....I just couldn't resist playing with the language on that one! :laughing: )

I generally think they will be all treated the same, however the few who have had GTY moved to assigments, have generally been either with a T/A who had cancellations from someone mutlibooking or dropping out, with an assignment and transfering it, or for specail reasons.

I read on another site of someone telephoning DCL every day and in the end got one!

It gives DCL maximum flexability to move people around so they would wish to keep that, and if they assign a few now, the peole left out wil not be happy so they are in a fix really.

All I could say is maybe ensure they know your preferences, say port/starboard side, midship, not near laundry etc. SO on their penciled in lists where everyone is likly to go, they can accomodate your preferences.

Always ask

Yes it has changed around a bit, but due to ''Rabies'' control, its in Europe but not in the UK there are rules on all dogs coming in.

It was as stated six months quarantine, thats a long time in dog years, now i think UK dogs can get a dog passport, including vet history, jabs etc and can travel within certain rules, but it would be wort checking

No that tree (the one I was standing next to) was in my yard, the tree that fell the other day was in my neighbors yard, to the left of us, which can be seen in the second photo way, in the back. If you look close in the first pic, you will see the tree I was standing next to, the tree is in the backyard behind our sn*w covered car. This pic was taken back in 2003 after a 20" plus sn*wfall. That old oak tree is huge, if that ever fell, our house, or the house (to the right) on the other side of us is a goner. I had all the old branches removed from this tree before this pic was taken.

http://inlinethumb36.webshots.com/2403/1063982066026317863S600x600Q85.jpg

Here is a pic of our cute little abode taken from across the street after the sn*wstorm in February 2003. Luckily the storm was over President's Weekend that year, took me about 8 hours of shoveling to dig out the car and the front of the house.

http://inlinethumb58.webshots.com/1657/1063982166026317863S600x600Q85.jpg

I know it's hard to make out, but that's Angelina under the left window at the front of our house. She was out playing on the mound of sn*w as I was digging us out. I forgot to mention, this same weekend, during the storm, our furnance broke down. Luckily, we have Gold Service with our heating company, so they had to send a repairman out to fix the furnance, as he was at our house, a state of emergency was called and he had to get off the road after he finished fixing our furnance.

I've been trying to read back on the thread before I joined it, so I had to ask about your tree;) Adam would LOVE to have a snowfall like that here. Most we have ever gotten was about 20" and then lot of ice--closed our city down for a week. Most people got to draw unemployment that week.

Andy,

Sorry to hear of the loss of a family friend.

Will Verandah Gran get her own DIS account?

Thanks for the reminder about setting the clocks ahead. :hourglass

Verandah Gran does read the boards only when I send something her way. My mom's computer broke down several months ago, so she hasn't been online in a long time, she would call me from time to time and I would go into her account while she was on the phone and select what e-mails to keep, and which to delete. This morning she had over 170 e-mails she had to go through :eek: ....................most of which were deleted.................:rolleyes1

Like Hazel, I don't think my mom would post on the boards, but I have been known to have been wrong in the past. :laughing:

We'll see what happens after her new "used" computer is hooked up, but now that my mom is working again, her computer time is limited with the crazy hours she works.

I don't know about the % all I know is that I was one tired pup last night. I was working in the section of town that has the newest type meters, they are all on the outside of the residents homes, meaning I can get more done each day. I know I read between 800-900 meters this week, usually most weeks, it would be bewteen 500-600 meters.

On the road and tryin' to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive

It was fun though. I figured out how to save the whole chat in Word but decided not to do it this week. Maybe next week. :cool1:

:scared1: I think my computer will be broken next Friday night.

I agree brack, I find I get all googly-eyed in chat :rotfl: :rotfl:

There's a silly song about that. Barney Google with the goo-goo-googly eyes!
Honest. Could I make something like that up??:confused3

I thought my ears were burning. Away ten mins, four more pages.

But would this be doing them a disservice?
YES
Now, Paula, if YOU (unlike Andrew) would like a picture of an Italian man in a state of undress hidden for you, I will be happy to oblige!

I would like a picture of an Italian woman in a state of undress hidden for me:love:

I can add that to my list of things to do....which at the moment keeps growing and growing and growing!
Yep DCL to much to plan (x2 for me).

Has anybody ever heard of a game called "Chronolgy"? Everybody picks 2 cards to establish a timeline, then you takes turns picking up a card that has an event question on it (.e. the year that panty hose was invented)the person has to guess where in their time line this took place, if they get it right, they get the card, if not,the next person gets a try. It's easy at the beginning but as you accumulate more cards, your timelines get a bit smaller.
When you start out you'll get a timeline of say,2300 BC to 1968, but as you add more cards, the you might have 1777,1779 and 1782 you say the event happened between 1779 and 1782 but the card is actually 1778, it passes to the next guy. The object to get 10 cards.

That sounds like FUN!
OMG, I'm such a nerd
Can we adapt it as a drinking game?

It also reminds me of an undergrad history class at the school where I went to grad school. I forget the real name, but it was affectionately referred to as "Big Bang to The Renaissance."

I didn't know you could do that........if anyone did please disregard any b**b talk:lmao: :lmao:

No kidding! Geesh!

And you know, you can slow down the pace of the scrolling in Chat. I learned that. ::yes::

So that explains it! Does it copy it all in real time, or is there somewhat of a delay??

It appeared to be in real time at the time I asked it to copy but I did not look to see if it was continuous as well.

It will only copy from when you started until you copy it. Anything afterwards has to be recopied and if you leave the room without copying you lose the history.

The show is OUTSTANDING!! You'll LOVE it!

I can't wait -- really! I think since this is likely to be a one-time thing, going to Vegas with the girls, we will try to see every single Cirque show -- and save Love for last since it is the one I'm looking forward to the most. I do enjoy Cirque a lot, and the Love show there in Vegas is what is finally getting me to plan a trip there for the first time in my life.

I've seen almost all of them at least once, some twice.

A girl's trip, huh? You need to go see my friends at Thunder From Down Under.

Andrew - I know what you mean about planning. I had to go out and buy a third vacation binder last month!

Trip to Hawaii next week :beach:

Drive across the good ol' USA this summer :drive:

This TOAL pirate:

PLUS we are hoping to hit WDW for a few days this summer ::MickeyMo

and a few other silly little things like finding a new house, a new job, a new school, new hockey league, new Cub Scout pack . . .

OY!

Also planning vacations today .....

The summer holiday has been planned for months. Two weeks in the mountains of North Carolina with family the first week and friends the second. The DISDog gets to go with us this year.

In September we have nine days at WDW and will be our first use of DVC points. I plan for OKW but we'll see.

In December we have two days before the cruise and eight days afterwards. I am hoping to use DVC points for WL but will settle for SSR (our home resort)

Unfortunately the other "girls" with me (my daughters) on this trip are too young for those guys (which, yes, I had already read about :thumbsup2 ) . . . now if I ever go on my own we can meet up there, OK?

Last night DH was tearing out a partial wall, so we let the girls smash it with a hammer. They had a ball. I'll post some pics if I get to it today. DD 4 was hitting it and said "Look, a Mickeyhead!" at a hole she made.:rotfl2:

My favorite non-Disney Hidden Mickey is the one DS8 found in Yellowstone 3 years ago.
