Clearly, it's not the worst animated movie ever. I've seen worse, but this isn't any special a movie either. If someone asks my opinion of this movie, I wouldn't want them to watch this movie; especially if it's an adult who's expecting at least some sense in the plot. Grossly over-rated, but worth a watch for kids aged 12 and below.
Jul 2 - 08:55 AM
Yvonne Mae Capatayan
Rise is the best! Clearly, he doesn't appreciate animated films and perhaps is brain-dead by not realizing how wonderful a film this is. I really don't see where the voice actors screwed up in their delivery, it was flawlessly delivered. And the animation, plot much about every other thing about rise is fantastically-made. Roger Moore, dude, you're no film critic, just a whiner who doesn't appreciate a thing!!
May 31 - 09:22 AM
Brian Howard
I really liked Rise, I'm a big William Joyce fan and glad that the original artwork made it to the screen so well. Not sure exactly what made Baldwin's and Jackman's performances "horrible" and I'll bet the critical folks don't either.
Dec 28 - 10:33 PM
Andrew Brinkerhoff
Okay, I just saw it this afternoon, and totally enjoyed it, even if its "Believe" message is aimed at the kids. They only spend a short time showing off Santa's workshop, I'm not sure how it supposedly took up so much of the running time. Roger Moore, I think you blew it on this one.
Nov 26 - 09:23 PM
Thomas Schneider
Just saw this movie with my wife, kids (ages 9 & 11), and my mom (age 88). All of us thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It has appeal to all ages. Also, this is one of the best 3D films that I have seen. I see most new films in 2D, and have owned a 3D TV since 2010. The 3D in most films is very limited, and does not add to the story. In the case of Rise of the Guardians, it elevates the entire movie experience.
Nov 25 - 11:08 PM
Megan Abenante
I agree with Jared. I saw this movie, very excited, then I was very disappointed. It's not very funny, nor does it have a good plot line. Horrible performances by Alec Baldwin and Hugh Jackman. But this movie is animated greatly.
Nov 24 - 06:49 PM
Wendy Mihail
Are you insane? The acting was amazing.
Jan 19 - 07:58 PM
What's so horrible by Baldwin and Jackman's delivery? I think they nailed it well. And the plot is definitely good and the humor is an-okay. Maybe you just don't have a sense of humor to really understand it. Many people are like that,.

Although I mainly prefer Pixar, there are some Dreamworks films I enjoy, such as the first 2 Shrek & Kung Fu Panda movies. However, the rest I don't particularly care for, including this movie. I'm sorry, that's just what I think. Also, just because I prefer Pixar to Dreamworks doesn't make me a snob.
Nov 23 - 02:13 AM
That's okay Cherry Pop. I grew up with pixar films: bug's life, antz, the likes but I can't disagree that Rise is one of DreamWorks best films!!
May 31 - 09:26 AM
William Moten
I don't think he watched the same movie I did
Nov 21 - 11:27 PM
Kenneth Elliott
If the Dreamworks logo had been replaced with a bouncing desktop lamp logo, you can bet that this film would be hailed as a masterpiece.
Nov 21 - 10:31 PM
Marvin Balmaceda
Totalmente de acuerdo. Los bodrios de Pixar son aclamados por la crítica, mientras excelentes peliculas de otros estudios son vapuleados. Muy mal.
Dec 20 - 05:33 PM
Sam Had
Uh, slow your roll on that one. If Pixar released it, it would be getting even worse reviews and hailed as a huge disappointment. See: Brave. Not a bad movie, but coming from a studio like Pixar, its being slung through the mud for being terrible compared to what the studio is normally known for.

Edie Falco & More Set for 52nd Street Project's OUT ON A LIMB, 4/4-6
The 52nd Street Project makes a difference in the lives of countless Hell's Kitchen (Clinton) kids by pairing them with theater professionals who mentor them through the creation of original theater. Perhaps the most poignant presentations made by The 52nd Street Project are those in its semi-annual Playmaking series, which features the Project's youngest Hell's Kitchen mentees-ten year-olds who have just begun their theatrical education-writing for accomplished professional actors and director-dramaturgs, and revealing their work to a public audience for the first time. Edie Falco and other accomplished actors, working with directors including Felix Solis and James Yaegashi, will perform in Out on a Limb: Plays that Branch Out, the Project's newest Playmaking show.
Out on a Limb will run April 4 - 6 at The 52nd Street Project's Five Angels Theater (789 Tenth Avenue, 2nd floor, NYC). Performances will take place Friday - Sunday at 7:30pm, and Saturday at 3pm. Admission is free, but reservations must be made in advance at 212.642.5052 or www.52project.org.
The Playmaking process begins with a nine-week playwriting course. At the end of the course, the kids are taken (along with their volunteer adult dramaturge/director) out of town for a "writer's retreat" in the countryside. After writing his/her own plays, each child is given a professional cast to complete the expression of his or her personal vision. The finished plays enjoy a run of public performances.
The kids writing the one-acts are Sevan Asencio, Duaa Alkindi, Jayla Alvarez, Kiara Figueroa, Nathaniel Ortiz, Sebastian Lopez, Sofia Santoni, Daniel Tineo, Karen Tineo and Milen Tokarev.
The adult performers are Carlo Albán, Marinda Anderson, Michael Braun, Dan Butler, Dahlia Azama, Matt Citron, Eric Clem, Michael Crane, Edie Falco, Marco Formosa, Greg Hildreth, Sekou Laidlow, Krystel Lucas, Adrienne Moore, Joe Paulik, Christina Acosta Robinson, Shirley Rumierk, Mauricio Salgado, Wrenn Schmidt and Laura Woodward.
The adult dramaturg-directors are George Babiak, Nehassaiu DeGannes, Sarah Krohn, Rebecca Martinez, Christina Roussos, Felix Solis, Jeremy Stoller, Kerry Whigham, Annie Worden and James Yaegashi.
The 52nd Street Project was founded in 1981 by actor/playwright and 1994 MacArthur Fellow Willie Reale in response to a deepening need to improve the quality of life for New York's inner-city children. Reale, an actor, playwright, and company member of the Ensemble Studio Theater (EST), used his company privileges to reach out to the children of the neighborhood by creating theatrical endeavors specifically for them. This was done with the cooperation and support of EST and its across-the-street-neighbor, the Police Athletic League's Duncan Center. The Project is now an independent not-for-profit organization that creates over eighty new plays and serves over 130 children every year.
The 52nd Street Project has been a place where many preeminent theater-makers have volunteered their efforts to mentor kids from Hell's Kitchen. To name just a few: Billy Crudup, Peter Dinklage, Edie Falco, Nancy Giles, James McDaniel, Frances McDormand, Cynthia Nixon, Oliver Platt, Martha Plimpton and Lili Taylor.
The Project is about making children proud of themselves. The Project is not about teaching children to act, although they will learn to. It is not about teaching them to write plays, although they will learn that as well. What it is about is giving a kid an experience of success. It is about giving a kid an opportunity to prove that he or she has something of value to offer, something that comes from within that he or she alone possesses, something that cannot be taken away.
In order to make The 52nd Street Project experience available to children in other locations, The Project has published a manual and other supporting materials, which have been distributed as far as Vancouver and South Africa. There are now projects underway across the country in places such as Los Angeles; Chicago; Trenton, NJ; Williamstown, MA; Providence, RI; and London, England.

Dear Constituent,
Happy New Year! This is the cheerful greeting, and usually warm expression of good will and genuine good wishes that we'll receive for at least the next few weeks. And certainly, as your representative in the State Assembly , it's a great pleasure for me to extend to you and your family my very best and warmest wishes for a Happy New Year.
May all your efforts be successful, and may this be the year that the dreams you've had for a long time will finally come true. May God's blessings be yours, bountiful and unlimited, and may the good lord keep you and all your loved ones safe, in the best of health, and prosperous.
On January 9, 2008, the New York Legislature will convene to receive the governor's message and begin the legislative session. If you have kept up with news about the economy, you will surely know that the money situation has tightened and the State is expecting a big downturn in annual tax revenues. This will mean that budget cuts will be on the agenda and reaching an agreement to complete an "on-time budget" will be more challenging.
Over the years, in both good times and bad, I've fought to ensure that our neighborhoods and our communities come through the process without getting shortchanged. I assure you that during this year's budget process, you will have a strong voice and a fighter at the table, working with my colleagues, always championing your cause.
Please take a little time to read this brief report, which also includes helpful information that will hopefully help improve your quality of life. As usual, I urge you again to communicate with me, so that I will always be aware of your concerns, again, a very Happy New Year to you.
Working for You,
Member of Assembly
Sidewalk Repair Update
Perry Adds More Funds to
Fix Broken Sidewalks in District
Over $300,000 Committed to Repair Program
Although the city funds its own sidewalk heaving repair program that covers all five boroughs, the amount the city allocates annually can only go towards fixing the very severely damaged sidewalks that score at the top of the range set by the city to qualify for repair.
The city evaluates requests and damaged sidewalks are judged on a 1-100 scale. If your sidewalk isn't rated at over ninety, it's unlikely they will ever get to your request.
By funding the heaving program, just for the homeowners in the 58th Assembly District, Assemblyman Perry hopes to eventually help homeowners fix all the sidewalks damaged by city-owned trees in the district. It is estimated that this will cost over half a million dollars, so the current allocation of over $300,000 should provide a real significant savings to homeowners who can still call in and get their sidewalk added to the list, and approved for repair.
With the funding process almost complete, contracts should soon be signed to begin repair work in the spring of this year.

|Perry Helps Bring Senior Center Back with $175,000 Grant
For more than two years senior citizens living in Community Board 17 were forced to do just that, because of situations that forced the closing of centers previously serving the community and the relocation of the last remaining center to another district.
The need to correct this inequity was made a primary issue by Community Board 17, and brought to the attention of Assemblyman Nick Perry during a meeting with Community Board 17 member Renee Smith. Assemblyman Perry responded immediately, using all the influence and pressure that could be brought from his office to bring about the earliest solution to this problem. Recognizing that working together would strengthen the effort, Assemblyman Perry brought together his elected colleagues representing the area, along with members of Community Board 17, organizing a meeting with Commissioner Edwin Mendez-Santiago of the NYC Department for the Aging. At the meeting Commissioner Mendez-Santiago gave the community leaders his assurance that a long overdue senior center would soon be returning to the Community.
Assemblyman Perry is proud to announce that on this past July 1st, the Remsen Senior Center reopened at 650 Remsen Avenue at the corner of Avenue A. "It is our obligation as a community to provide for our senior citizens," said Assemblyman Perry. "Our senior population is the foundation upon which our families and communities have been built; we owe it to them to provide adequate and convenient services and facilities which are in good condition to provide the right environment for senior activities.
Assemblyman Perry has committed $175,000 in capital funds for building improvements and renovations to the site. Because the center will also serve seniors from the adjoining 41 Assembly District, Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein has committed an additional $25,000 which will allow for a total of $200,000 of capital improvements to the site.
Going to College next September?
Tuition Free Scholarship to SUNY Maritime College Available From Assemblyman Perry
Assemblyman Nick Perry is accepting applications to nominate an eligible student for a full tuition, four-year scholarship to SUNY Maritime College under the Cadet Appointment Program.

|Honoring the Leaders of Tomorrow at P.S. 398
Assemblyman Perry recently visited P.S. 398-Walter Weaver Elementary School in East Flatbush to swear-in the elected members of the student government, each of whom was presented with a NYS Assembly Certificate of Merit.
Being part of the student government exposes these young leaders to the good practices of participation in government. Their active involvement helps them learn the importance of voting and the important role of participation in preserving our Democracy. Assemblyman Perry administered an oath of office to each student.

This post has been bouncing around my head in various forms for awhile, but it finally came to the forefront in the last week. There's been a lot of talk, rightfully so, about the steps back the iOS6 Maps app has taken. People are waiting patiently for Google to release a stand-alone Google Maps app for iOS, while one person as even gone so far as to take matters into his own hands. But here's the sad truth: Even if Google releases a Google Maps app, and Apple approves it, and it's as awesome as its Android equivalent...it will still be deficient in one major way:
Google Maps will never again be the default mapping provider for iOS.
This means a couple of major things for iOS users:
Unfortunately, this is a pretty notable limitation of iOS, which highlights a bigger flaw:
Only Apple's official apps are a part of the larger Apple ecosystem.
These recent events have sparked a larger conversation about mobile OS choice and ecosystem lock-in. The prevailing theory is that you are largely tied to the ecosystem behind the mobile handset you choose - iPhone users use Apple's ecosystem, Android users use Google's ecosystem, and Windows Phone users use Microsoft's ecosystem.
Now, I am not a hater of Apple's products or ecosystem - quite the opposite, actually. I have an iPad and a MacBook, and an Apple TV. Until recently, I even used an iPhone. If you're all-in with Apple services, as I was, by all means, get an iPhone. It will work great with the ecosystem you trust. Apple's fans are often accused of being "cult-like", but the truth is simply that the more Apple products you have, the better each of them work. Your iPhone makes your Apple TV a little bit better, and your Apple TV makes your iPhone a little bit better. Your MacBook makes your iPad a little bit better, and vice-versa. This is a powerful truth that should not be underestimated.
Personally, when I used an iPhone, I actually found myself using Google's services more than Apple services, partially because Apple's services were still in their infancy (or didn't even exist, at one point), but mostly because Google services were everywhere (PC, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, etc.) whereas Apple services were a bit more limited in scope.
Obviously this put me in the ideal position to make the jump from iOS to Android, but there were still some features iOS provided that Google didn't cover. I needed third-party solutions to those problems, but years of using iOS had taught me that third-party solutions were always inferior to those that come from the OS maker.
Here's where I disagree with the prevailing school of thought, though - I don't believe it's that iOS works better with Apple services and Google works better with Google services; it's that iOS works better with Apple services and Google works better with pretty much everything else. This is primarily because Google provides two incredibly powerful tools that, when leveraged, allow you to take many third-party solutions and elevate them to the same position as first-party solutions.
These tools are Defaults and Intents.
Defaults is, well, exactly what it sounds like - it allows you to set a default application to launch for a specific activity. Before becoming an Android user, I assumed this was limited to setting a default browser and a default mail client - something I'd long wanted in iOS, but had never gotten. For instance, I'd love to set my default browser in iOS to Chrome, but it's just not meant to be.
While this is true - you can change your default browser and mail client - it actually goes far deeper than I'd realized. Any third-party app can register to be a default for certain activities. For example, Waze, a third-party navigation app, can replace Google Maps when you want to view a contact's address:
This simple addition of functionality in Android shows you, in a single picture, the ability to break-through a handset maker's attempt to lock you into a particular mapping provider. Imagine if iOS allowed you to use Waze or Mapquest or (hypothetically) Google Maps in such a way?
Now, in Apple's case, it's not in their best interest to allow this - they want you tied to their ecosystem and, to be fair, for many of their users, this is the simplest solution. Many people just don't want to deal with different applications from different providers for different activities. Now, third-party apps in iOS can be written to open other third-party apps - for example, Week Calendar will allow you to open an address in Navigon:
While this is nice, it's up to both third-party app creators to support this functionality - Navigon has to be written to accept the incoming address information, and Week Cal has to be written to send it. This indirectly touches on Android's other powerful system - between-app communication using the Intent system.
The Intent system, like the Default system, is simple on the surface, but powerful in practice. My favorite example of this is Pocket.
Google's Intent system allows you to treat Pocket as though it were a first-party solution. Any application that has access to the Share functionality allows you to easily save anything you're looking at to Pocket. It's simple, brilliant, and I use it all the damn time (ironically I am usually saving articles to read on my iPad later):
Notice all the other options there, too. Keep in mind that this sharing menu is universal to all Android apps that include the Share button. Simple. Powerful. The sharing menu in iOS looks rather anemic in comparison:
Now, let's look at two "save it later" options on iOS:
1. First-party solution? Reading List. This is a pretty limited solution, as I believe it only functions in Safari on iOS and OSX. Not really comparable to something like Pocket.
Because Android allows third-party app developers to step in, it almost means they can excel above third-party solutions. Let's compare sharing a link to Facebook in iOS6 with the same action in Jelly Bean using the third-party app Friendcaster.
Friendcaster in Android 4.1:
The Android option - again, a third-party option - actually has a couple of additional features - you can post directly to a friend's wall from an app, and you can share with another app after you finish with Friendcaster. I think it is notable that a third-party solution is more powerful on Android than a first-party solution in iOS, especially given that first-party solutions are added to iOS with such fanfare and only during major OS updates.
As some final examples, here are some of the major ecosystem features I used in iOS, and what I've used to replace them in Android (in addition to the ones I mentioned above). Note that some of them are also dependent on the fact that Android allows third-party services to run in the background, in addition to utilizing Intents and Defaults.
To be clear, my point is not to bash iOS for its limitations - quite the contrary, as iOS' first-party ecosystem is still incredibly strong, even with the recent Maps changes. You could live in the Apple world using only Apple services and be a very, very happy user.
However, as someone who chooses to live on four different platforms - Windows, OSX, iOS, and Android - I have found that Android's flexibility when it comes to third-party ecosystems has been invaluable. There's no arguing that most or all of Google's Android-based solutions are still some of the best, but it's nice to know there's stuff out there that's been able to reach equivalent functionality, just by leveraging the powers of Defaults and Intents. As much as I love other Android-specific features like Widgets, it's the loss of this sort of inter-app functionality that would really make me miss Android if I were to ever go back to iOS. Apple gives you a pre-packaged solution that works well for many (perhaps even most) people, while Google gives you the pieces to build your own, potentially-more-powerful solution - which is something I love taking advantage of.
I realize I didn't really discuss Windows Phone, but since I've never used it (beyond handling store models), I don't feel qualified to discuss it. I know Windows Phone 8 is adding something similar to Intents, called Contracts, but I don't know how powerful it will be. Still, more moves in this direction are nice to see. If anyone has more information about this, I'd love to read about it in the comments below.
Anyway, thanks for reading all this, and I hope it was enjoyable to read as it was to write!

Chattanooga is straddling the best states in America in competing for business, according to Site Selection magazine.
The business publication on Tuesday ranked Georgia No. 1 and Tennessee No. 2 in the magazine's annual list of the most competitive states for economic development success.
Georgia displaced Texas, which had been No. 1. Texas fell to No. 3 in the newest ranking, behind both Georgia and Tennessee.
Mark Arend, editor of Site Selection, said most of the top states were in the Southeast, including No. 4 Louisiana and No. 5 North Carolina. Georgia was ranked No. 1 by the magazine last November for also having the best business climate in a separate rating of the states.
"Is this a pattern?" Arend asks in the magazine's cover story.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said he thinks it is.
"When I took office in January 2011, I made a promise to the people of Georgia that we wouldn't stop until our state was the No. 1 place in the nation to do business," Deal said. "These rankings are not only a testament to our strong business climate, but they also speak to the commitment and support from our industry partners, communities and people of Georgia."
The No. 2 ranking for Tennessee is the best in Site Selection's annual list of competitive states since the Volunteer State was ranked No. 1 in 2008.
Bill Hagerty, Tennessee's commissioner of economic and community development, said, "Tennessee is at the apex of economic development nationwide and arguably across the globe."
Site Selection ranks states based upon 10 factors, including total new and expanded facilities announced last year, new jobs added in 2013 and the state's tax rankings by the conservative Tax Foundation.

MEMPHIS—A Memphis woman has pleaded guilty to mail fraud for filing fradulent disaster relief applications in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Federal prosecutors for the Western District of Tennessee say in a statement that 39-year-old Jennifer Blaye was charged with filing nine fraudulent applications with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Some of the addresses were for properties that did not exist and others for properties she did not own. She also used names and Social Security numbers that were fictitious or belonged to other people, some of them dead.
In letters and phone calls to FEMA, she claimed to be under a great deal of stress because of the tragedy she had been through.
As a result of the scheme, Blaye received almost $140,000. She will be sentenced in February.

Thornbridge SuJu(RETIRED)
RATINGS: 2 MEAN: 3.15/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 2.85 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 180 ABV: 6%
Cask: Special - 2008
A rustic brown ale brewed using smoked malt and juniper berries that will be a great complement to any autumn foods. With a nod to one of its key ingredients the beer has been named "SuJu" (SuperJuniper!). To create the beer the brew team chose a combination of Maris Otter, Vienna, Munich, Smoked, Amber and Chocolate malts. The hops used are a blend between one of Agostinos favourite hops, Hallertau Mittelfrüh with notes of lemon marmalade, citrus peel and pepper, and Thornbridges latest discovery, Vanguard, an American offspring of Hallertau Mittelfrüh with strong aroma of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and a touch of black grapes. The brew was seasoned with fresh organic juniper berries specially selected for their exuberant and warming, resinous, mango aromas.

In an article titled A 20th Century Philosophy of Sex, Joseph Fletcher, teacher of social ethics at the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, states, "The Christian churches must shoulder much of the blame for the confusion, ignorance and unhealthy guilt associations which surround sex in Western culture. The Christian church from its earliest primitive beginnings has been swayed by many puritanical people, both Catholic and Protestant, who have treated sexuality as inherently evil."
In The Bible of the World of Dr. Kinsey, William Graham Cole, head of the Williams College Department of Religion, put it even more strongly: "There can be no quarrel with the secular world at this point. It is right and the church has been wrong. Sex is natural and good.... It is attitudes which are good and evil, never things.... Those who take the Bible seriously must stop apologizing for sex...they must begin with a concession to the secular mind, granting that sex is natural.
"In its efforts to prevent irresponsible procreation, Western civilization has used the device of what Freud called the walls of loathing, guilt and shame. On the whole this method of social control has worked reasonably well, but a price has been paid for its success—the price of sexual perversion, which is the product of fear and anxiety.... The method of moralism has been weighed in the balance and found wanting, partly because it moves in the wrong direction and partly because it has based its case on fear."
In "Religion and Sex: A Changing Church View", David Boroff wrote in a 1961 issue of Coronet, "Much of Protestantism no longer wishes to be identified with repression and Puritanism. 'In fact,' says Professor Roger Shinn, of New York's Union Theological Seminary, 'repression is a Christian heresy.... In this country, Puritanism...has been hostile to the expression of sexual feeling. But in recent years, Protestant theologians have reexamined these concepts. They now argue that Puritanism, when it insists that sex is evil, is actually a distortion of Christian doctrine. These thinkers have been influenced not only by recent Biblical scholarship, but also by the findings of psychiatry—especially the revelation of the psychic damage that may be done by sexual repression.'"
As we observed in the July installment of The Playboy Philosophy, England is undergoing a Sexual Revolution. Time reported in its March 22, 1963 issue: "...The British are deeply concerned with their search for what some call 'a new morality' to fit the hushed-up facts of life. 'The popular morality is now a wasteland,' said Dr. George Morrison Carstairs, 46, professor of psychological medicine at Edinburgh University, in a recent BBC lecture. 'It is littered with the debris of broken convictions. A new concept is emerging, of sexual relations as a source of pleasure but also as a mutual encountering of personalities, in which each explores the other and at the same time discovers new depths in himself or herself."
In a controversial report, an English group called The Religious Society of Friends attacked the onus attached to "a great increase in adolescent sexual intimacy" and premarital affairs. "It is fairly common in both young men and women with high standards of conduct and integrity to have one or two love affairs, involving intercourse, before they find the person they will ultimately marry." This, the report concluded, is not such a sin. "Where there is genuine tenderness, an openness to responsibility and the seed of commitment, God is surely not shut out."
The same month, Associated Press carried a story, date-lined London, which reported that a pastor of the Church of England challenged religious taboos against extramarital sex: "In a sermon delivered from the pulpit of Southwark Cathedral in London, Canon D.A. Rhymes declared the traditional moral code implied that sex is unavoidably tainted. 'Yet there is no trace of this teaching in the attitude of Christ,' he said. 'He does not exalt virginity over marriage, or marriage over virginity—He merely says in one place that some have chosen virginity to leave them free for the work of the kingdom.
" 'Nor does Christ ever suggest that sexuality, as such, is undesirable or that marriage is the only possible occasion of any expression of physical relationship.'
"...Canon Rhymes said the moral code of today is being ignored because it is outdated. 'We need to replace the traditional morality based upon a code with a morality which is related to the person and the needs of the person....'" The pastor concluded that if we want to live full and healthful lives, "we must emphasize love," not an inflexible, impersonal and unfeeling morality.
Morality and the State
There is obviously much theological disagreement regarding sex in America today and there is most certainly no single sexual ethic to which even the most pious individuals in contemporary society would subscribe. In truth, each individual is apt to view the piety and morality of his fellows in terms of how closely they conform to his, not their own, religious ideals.
But even if all of the religious leaders of the nation were of a single mind on the subject, it is clear that in this free democracy, they would have no right to force a universal code of sexual conduct upon the rest of society. Our religious leaders, of every faith, can loudly proclaim their moral views to one and all, and attempt to persuade us as to the correctness of their beliefs—they have this right and, indeed, it is expected of them.
They have no right, however, to attempt in any way to force their beliefs upon others through coercion. And most especially, they have no right to use the power of the government to implement such coercion. Any such action would be undemocratic in the extreme—it would contradict our most fundamental concepts of religious freedom and the separation of church and state. It would frustrate the intent of our founding fathers and their dream that all Americans should be forever free of the tyranny and suppression, that, historically, have accompanied all church-state rule. It would oppose the guarantees of the U.S. Constitution.
Since no common agreement exists among the clergy of modern America, it is all the more incredible—if no more monstrous—to consider the extent to which religious dogma and superstition have, all democratic ideals and Constitutional guarantees to the contrary, found their way into our civil law. And nowhere is this unholy alliance between church and state more obvious than in matters of sex. In our most personal behavior, no citizen of the United States is truly free.
Moreover, many of the statutes dealing with sexual behavior in all of the 50 states reflect the extreme antisexuality of the medieval Church and Calvinist Puritanism, with which an increasing number of the clergy of most religions are no longer in agreement. The most common kinds of sexual behavior, engaged in by the great majority of our adult society, are illegal. Almost every aspect of sex, outside of marriage, is prohibited by laws on fornication, adultery, cohabitation, sodomy, prostitution, association with a prostitute, incest, delinquency, contributing to delinquency, rape, statutory rape, assault and battery, public indecency or disorderly conduct. And though few realize it, every state but one (and that one, we are personally pleased to report, is Illinois) has statutes limiting the kind of sexual activity that can be legally engaged in within marriage as well, between a husband and his wife. The precoital love play endorsed by most modern marriage manuals and family counselors on sex is prohibited by law in 49 states.
Marriage itself is regulated through religiously inspired laws on divorce and bigamy (although the Mormon religion endorses polygamy, it is outlawed by legislation passed by more powerful religious factions). Abortion remains illegal in all states of the Union, although it is undergone by hundreds of thousands of women annually, under circumstances that seriously endanger not only their health and welfare, but their very lives.
Modern birth control devices and drugs are nowhere publicly advertised and a number of states have laws curtailing or prohibiting their sales. In a recent article for Look on the importance of the separation of church and state, the Reverend H.B. Sissel, Secretary for National Affairs, of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. wrote: "Seventeen states prohibit the sale or distribution of contraceptives except through doctors or pharmacists; five states ban all public sale of such devices. Although these statutes were enacted in the 19th century under Protestant pressure, times and attitudes have changed for many Protestants. Today, they believe that Catholics have no right to keep such laws in operation. Some Catholic spokesmen have agreed that their church is not officially interested in trying to make the private behavior of non-Catholics conform to Roman Catholic canon law. Meanwhile, the laws stay on the books, though they are being tested in the courts."

This edition of "SB Nation selects" is a wonderfully simple. It's a tale of two men trying to make each other look bad. The year is 1994 and the back-and-forth between Mel Kiper of ESPN and Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Tobin is one to remember.
The trade
It started with a phone call. Indianapolis traded up into the fifth spot and everybody thought they were taking Fresno State quarterback Trent Dilfer, but no.
Okay, so lets break this down. The Colts decided they HAD to have Trev Alberts, so they traded to move up two spots in the draft and gave up a third round pick. The crowd is audibly laughing, but that's not the star here. The REAL star in Kiper's quote.
Take that Harbaugh!
But wait, the fun didn't stop there!
Normally when this kind of stuff happens it's ho hum. Maybe a few jokes about the team, then we move on to the season.
Colts general manager Bill Tobin who made the pick was none too please with Kiper's analysis and decided to spend almost three minutes berating the ESPN analyst.
Tobin goes for everything. He claims Kiper couldn't get a job in the NFL, sources hundreds of unnamed NFL personnel people who agree with him and believes Kiper holds a grudge against the Colts because they moved to Indianapolis.
Tale of the tape
Immediately following the draft this slap fight was a draw. Nobody really had the knockout zinger. Tobin had an opportunity, but he bumbled through his rant too much and it came off more like a crotchety man playing bingo than a wordsmith.
In terms of the players, who got it right?
Trent Dilfer: 14 NFL seasons, 20,518 passing yards, 2000 Super Bowl winner, 1997 Pro Bowl
Trev Alberts: Three seasons, 49 tackles, 4.0 sacks

A nearly 90-year-old pilot who flew P-47 Thunderbolts and P-51 Mustangs during WWII made a perfect deadstick landing in a Flight Design CTLS LSA (similar airplane pictured) Friday after experiencing an engine problem with the airplane. Neither 89-year-old pilot Col. Victor Hernandez or his passenger, identified a Tim Hayes, were injured in the incident.
Hernandez and Hays has taken off from from Sebring, FL, and had made a precautionary landing in Melbourne, FL, after they experienced engine problems. They inspected the airplane and took off again, en route to Rockledge Airpark, FL, according to a report in Florida Today.
Hernandez said he thinks the engine was having a problem with its fuel system. He said he noticed the engine struggling, and then it stopped. "If the engine quit, it don't fly so good," he said.
Hernadez located Stadium Parkway in Viera, FL, and decided it was his best option for an emergency landing. He parked the airplane in front of a reflecting pool across from the Brevard County Government Complex, and calmly called authorities.
Brevard county spokesman Don Walker said there were no injuries and no property damage associated with the emergency landing.

The room was the best.
There was not any parking place for the arrival in front of the entrance.
- Location -Food - Szilvia who was attending us in the restaurant almost every day. She is such a lovely person. -Nice room and pools.
We had suite 321 for 1 week and could not sleep well as we could hear our neighbour snoring every single night. That was really bothering. Also for toddlers it would be great to have a high chair with belt. However, we highly recommend this hotel as we had a wonderful stay other than above points.
Absolutely loved the great amenities which included a fantastic pool, garden areas with playground. kids craft room, free parking and THE best food i have had in a "hotel" setting. Everything was clean, the staff was super accommodating, the beds were very comfortable.The only thing i would have changed was to have stayed longer!
i really have nothing negative to say about this stay!
Garden, beautitul view, swimming pool and outside swimming lake,
Distance traffic noise from railway and bundes strasse. In Room for two people only one chair, absence of refrigerator
Nice location and view, welcoming and comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast with a selected choice of local product, very professional and helpful staff.
Relatively small sauna area for the size of the hotel. Poor WiFi connection in the room.
It is great hotel, nice and clean rooms with a beautiful view to Alps. Great food and very nice service. I liked my stay a lot would love to return back in future.
Everything was great
Wifi quality
exellent staff
few free parkingplace
It was our second visit, so we knew what to expect. Luckily it was 3 years ago, so we forgot some details and enjoyed it again. Usually the hotel is quite pricey, but this week we got special discount. You can expect the best food in Austria, great amenities including swimming pool (with lots of kids), three saunas, relaxation area with water mattresses beds, free parking, etc. Besides, it is located just on the opposite side of the 6-men chair lift and 5 minutes walk from the gondola station. You can almost ski down to the hotel (if not the road you need to cross).
For some reason the hotel decided to close the outside part of the pool and outside jacuzzi. We loved it in our first visit and missed it during the second. Otherwise, it was perfect!
Absolutely wonderful!(This was our 3rd visit,for my birthday.) We were upgraded to a room with terrace and superb views. Loved everything! Cleanliness.Decor..Fabulous food at dinner(5 course meal :gastronomic not ordinary) and breakfast (huge choice ,fresh honey from honeycomb,champagne etc...).and they made me a birthday cake,decorated table,lovely surprise! Like a 5 star hotel,not 4.High quality.Lovely smell of wood everywhere (wood furniture) ,pool in a glass enclosure with snow covered mountains around,sun loungers inside and outside,amazing views,friendly staff,atmosphere. Best hotel in the world(and we have visited hundreds around the world,so much better than chains,family run) can't wait to go back!
That we didn't stay longer!!!
The hotel is conveniently located just 20 steps from the Alpendorf ski slopes.The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The half board includes breakfast, snack (pretty much a fool blown lunch) and dinner. The food is excellent!!! All facilities are great, especially the spa area with water beds relax room. Everything is great and we are definitely coming back! It is a clean, well designed and warm hotel where you feel like at home...
My only suggestion would be to increase the water temperature in the jacuzzi and to provide some English speaking channels in the rooms...
This is a classy big hotel but with a family run sort of atmosphere. High levels of service but in no way obsequious or intrusive. Lovely setting, right across from chair lift. Very friendly staff at reception, the restaurant (Hi Doro and Huba!) and bar (Frank is a real asset.) Room servicing and housekeeping were immaculate. The pool, quiet rooms and sauna are a real addition to the daily routine and epitomise that 'wellness' idea that the Austrian tourist industry promotes. The food was of the very highest quality, providing adequate choice from a bespoke daily menu, with not a single dish that you would not have again. The breakfast buffet was the best I have seen.
I never ate the afternoon meal (a sort of expanded gouter.) Maybe a cake or two and some coffee, but the full array of hot and cold buffet seemed de trop! Here and there some furnishings (crack in bathroom sinks, lifted corner on rug in basement) needed a fixing.
Good location. The staff were also very friendly and happy to help!
TV program is only available in German!?!
The Hotel was fantastic. I would highly recommend it to anyone. We are accustomed to staying in 5 Star Hotels in Dubai and found everything aspect of this Hotel to exceed our expectations. Rupert is a fantastic host and we will definitely be returning.
Excellent hotel cannot fault it.Loved the location and pool was lovely
Such a beautiful location. All the staff were great. I don't understand an earlier comment about the food, it really is fantastic. But, and it's a small but. If you're doing the half-board deal, the evening meal follows a set pattern most of the week. There's little choice, but we only had a couple of dishes that didn't work for us. You have a small starter, followed by a soup. No choice for the first two course, either than yes or no. Then a salad buffet (all you can eat basically, and it's good). Then comes the main, a choice of 3 with a veggie option. Dessert was either a one-option served dish, or a small choice ftom the buffet. The Sunday evening meal is a 5-course no choice one, though the kitchen seemed accomodating if you didn't like a course. All the food is immaculately presented, and children can get their own buffet, and free drinks.
Having to leave. The village is a little quiet in aug/sept, with some hotels and bars closed for the season. St. Johann is to far to walk really.
