 Not a fan of Spider Man, but Marvel has several other characters that I like a lot.  If Disney can incorporate them properly then this could be a promising avenue for growth...especially at the theme parks---as long as we stay true to the Disney Magic that keeps us all imagining!

 This would be incredible!  Disney needs to start doing this more at many of their rides.  Several of their rides should have a "hotel" component that would allow special guests and situations overnight stays inside the attractions.  I have been wanting this for years!

The "Sandbaggers" won the Fourth Annual Dinan Invitational on Friday, July 31st on the Links course at the Arizona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix, AZ.

A strong -6 under par gives Jacobs his 2nd title in as many tries as the Dinan Invitational....some say it is his massive 1-iron, others his sweet, smooth stroke with the wedge, but those who were there credit the other 3 players who made it rain in the desert!

Congrats:

Nate Jacobs

Nate Plett (Team Captain)

John Giesen

Jeremy Wallace

That's how we do it here in AZ!

Classic dodging moves by Sotomayor.  Nice job Kyl on pressing her to answer the question which she knows will expose her racial bias.  It goes both ways. 

Are we seriously this sensitive?  Where does it stop?  Any Hispanics that have a problem with "Colorado" and Native American have a problem with "Utah"...I hear that Mil-a-wa-keh is the origianl pronounciation of Milwaukee--maybe someones has a problem with that assocaition. 

 People are sensitive winers that need to get a real life and stop digging around for ways to become a victim.  I am sure someone somewhere is trying ot find a way to profit from this...
