looks like that rumored DHS door coaster is finally arriving, but in DCA.

Funny how all those principles went out the door when they were marketing John Carter, when divisions were just not working together - where people in power had disrespect for Andrew Stanton.

I wanna know what happened to Iron Man. Is TDA forgetting who's moving in to USH in 2016?

I think the mouse may be more concerned with keeping up with US in Florida and SW at this point. They should be concerned because the Potter adds are going to prove to be overwhelmingly successful. Far beyond the first phase.
For the first time visitors will be able to have a full week of amazing experiences in Orlando without setting foot on Disney property.
From a WDW perspective that really, really sucks. TDO really, really sucks.
Here's a prediction - It's a coaster in a Disney park. It will be successful. TDO sucks.
Even for you, this is kinda weird.

So overnight 5 pages of Blondie arguing happened? XD I'm gonna take a look at that Miceage article now. Yeah, seeing how it's from Miceage I'll take this with a grain of salt.

I told you exactly what my agenda is in this. I do not believe your end justifies your means. I was repetitious because nobody would answer my inquiries in a straight manner, instead The New York Times Company and The New York Times were repeatedly used interchangeably because that is what created the most effect. That is where the thinking was done for others. It was not enough to point out that the accepted practice in journalism is to reference your specific paper instead of the parent company, it had to be framed as a specific claim to be writing for another paper.
That is exactly what she did. If this is a discussion of ethics and honesty, then those claiming to stand for that should engage in such a manner. No stretch of information, even if it is what the original mischaracterization hopes people assume. Because doing that is the same. It's a slight stretch that should be ignored because it is "small" and still technically true. Your the one who started playing the semantics game and getting y at those who recognize it as such.
Is your reading comprehension really that bad? I already said I think she lied. My issue is YOU lying about her lie and then justifying it with what would likely be a similar reason, that your statements are technically true and make a bigger impact.
Then why doesn't Mr. Straight and Honest say exactly what these agendas are, who has them and why? This is your MO. You make these suggestions so you can't get called out for being wrong since you're "only asking questions." It is exactly the sort of sleazy reporting you claim to dislike.
I think this is what I've been getting at, the end (a good lawn) has justified the means (the embellishment). To me, that is important.
It does carry weight, but instead of clearly explaining industry practice he too jumped onto those who asked and would not be straightforward without using names interchangeably.
That is exactly what would be said in defense of the embellished résumé. In this discussion there should be no place for playing the very sort of games one is attacking.
Exactly, and what is stranger is the most vitriol is saved not for those who completely disagree, but those with only slight disagreement.

I'd say for worse, much worse. I see mods are "liking" posts over the past couple of pages so they are aware of the continual personal attacks taking place here and letting them stand. So, we know where they stand... but as long as they get clicks, ethics don't matter? Hah
The irony of someone screaming about ethics while at the same time using ad homs, belittlement, accusations, and trashing others is priceless. No, there's no agenda here, no money on the line somewhere. If you believe that, then enjoy being played.
My only issue with that (apart from that it isn't coming to WDW) is the same that people have with the placement of the Monsters Inc. Ride currently there - what does Monsters. Inc (or in this case, Monstropolis) have to do with California? It would probably be better as a sub-land of Fantasyland, unless it's just going to be a sub-land of Hollywoodland?
If you don't like the way Steve and the other mods run this site, you have other options.....

I agree that it doesn't fit in Hollywoodland (a Muppet's Studios miniland would be better), but i can't see how would fit better in Fantasyland, lol

Monsters has absolutely nothing to do with CA or Hollywood (other than it being a movie), but that hasn't stopped additions to DCA since it opened in 2001. What does Mermaid have to do with CA?
This has always been very much a self moderated forum. Most posters here are adults and therefore we let the users dictate the discussion unless posts are reported. Just because one or more of us may agree with a particular point doesn't mean that a. We've had time to read the entire thread or b. agree with all the points made within said thread or even with all viewpoints made by the same poster.
Actually, the part of the memo that addressed OT explicitly stated that if only a small amount of OT was worked, not to claim it (by example):
"Hourly folks - don’t push the OT. If it’s 9:10, take the 9:00 out – don’t push for9:30."
In other words, it says even if you work until 9:10, sign out at 9:00. Hourly workers are non-exempt, which makes even the suggestion of this practice illegal. Since I don't work there, I have no idea how the OT is paid incrementally (i.e., 15 minute- blocks, 30-minute blocks?). If I work 40 hours and 10 minutes, I expect to be paid for 40 hours and 10 minutes. If company policy requires that I be paid in 30 minute increments for OT, then they have to pay me for 40 hours and 30 minutes.

If you notice, I didn't say you agreed with any viewpoint, just that you were aware of the posts. I just thought the whole ethical irony was a hoot.
On one hand, we have someone that stretches the truth on a resume (by saying she worked for a parent company) being attacked by a pitchfork carrying mob trying to trash her and get her fired. But on the other, we have the leader of the mob that stretches the truth all the time, makes veiled accusations but cloaks them in self-righteous questions, and vilifies anyone that doesn't partake in his echo chamber.
She gets clicks on the Disney Parks blog and he gets clicks on this forum. Hilarious!
