Open Bar question (with poll)
- Posted 3 months ago by roxib4b3
- last comment
I'm only just beginning to realise that most of the posts on here are from Americans and so may not apply to me. Every wedding I've been to (or other sorts of party too) it's always been a cash bar, I always make sure I take money. However, the general consensus on here seem to be that a cash bar is tacky. What do you think? It is ok to have a cash bar in the UK or does it still depend regionally? Thank you!
I think the norm in the UK is to lay on a few drinks after the ceremony and during the meal and then go to cash bar. Occasionally there will be some money behind the bar over that but a full free bar is VERY unusual.
Don't let US attitudes on this stress you. A free bar is not the norm anywhere in the UK.
@LoveandMarriage: hi I'm in the uk too. This totally comes down to your social group. If every wedding you've been to had a cash bar it's probably the same for your guests so go for it! I've never been to a wedding with a cash bar so when I got married we didn't have one as its not the norm for our guests. Good luck and enjoy the wedding!!!
What SpecialSundae said.
I think in the US they get a better deal for drinks to be included in their wedding package when they hire somewhere. In the UK however that is rarely the case. I've never been to a single wedding where it was a free bar (and I've been to about 9 in just the last 2 summers alone) I don't expect there to be a free bar and I don't begrudge cash bars. I've done the figures on what a free bar would cost and it could add another £5k on the top of my total wedding bill, unless your loaded, I really wouldn't stretch yourself to accommodate that.
When I was looking for a wedding venue I did however look for one where we could bring our own alcohol. We settled on a venue that allows you to bring in alcohol during the day (with corkage fee to pay for service) and we're having a cash bar in the evening. We've negotiated a price so the drinks are priced resonably and frankly anyone who didn't come because it was a cash bar isn't someone I would want at my wedding!
I think it's normal for people in the uk to just buy our own drinks at weddings, it's really rare that there's an open bar, I mean it's wikid when there is one tho haha!
I'd buy my own drinks if I went out for the evening, so I don't expect a wedding to be any different!
Glass of something sparkly on arrival, half a bottle of wine per guest with the meal and a glass of sparkly for the toast, and then a cash bar later on.
That's what I'm doing, and what has been done at most weddings I've gone to.
I did go to one wedding where no drinks were provided for guests, but she was on a mega budget so I didn't mind. What I did mind, though, was that the bar didn't accept card! Can you believe it?! And the reception was in pub! That wound people up because the nearest cash machine was a taxi ride away. I ordered a bottle of prosecco and they opened it before telling me that it was cash only – I used the entire contents of my purse on that bottle and couldn't buy any more drinks all night! #fail
As others have said – I think it's standard to have a welcome drink, and maybe a glass of wine with the meal, and something bubbly for the toasts, and most venues offer that as part of their standard package. But anything beyond that I would expect to have to pay. It's perfectly normal and reasonable!
To be honest, I think whilst people might be pleased you have an open bar, in the UK if you're extremely wealthy and you have one, knowing people here then you might even get a few comments about spending too much on your wedding! One doesn't want to look like one is flashing one's cash about too much, ostentation just isn't cricket, y'know.
@Soon2BeeMrsG: I've been wondering about getting my own alcohol in – partly because we thought it would be good fun to go and choose our own wines and beers – but the corkage charge was what put me off. One place we looked at was like £9 PER BOTTLE. When we were looking at £5.00 bottles of sparkling rose (from Majestic though – nice stuff!) it got a bit silly when we started totting up corkage fees.
I'm not too up on it though – is the per-bottle fee normal, or do they generally give you a one-off payment for the whole night?
I was pleasantly surprised at my friend's wedding where she supplied more than the normal bottle of wine per couple at the reception, but in general when tending a wedding in the UK I expect to pay for my drinks, and I highly doubt that a Brit would find this tacky. The only times I've had an open bar in the UK was when friends got married in a barn and went a bit crazy in Makro – but again that was just wine and beer – if anyone wanted any other drinks (vodka, whisky etc) it was suggested they bring their own.
@chronicwhimsy: Per bottle or per person corkage is normal and I've seen up to £35 per bottle corkage on fizz!
I've been thinking about this since I posted and I realised something. I think one of the things that guests in the US might find tacky about a cash bar is that there is a LOT more invested from them financially
US Wedding guests (OFTEN) have to pay for:
- Their own outfit (if they are in the bridal party)
- They have to give gifts from a registry at the Bachorette parties
- They travel further to attend a wedding, sometimes flying to get there, thus having to pay for accommodation/food/travel
- If they travel from afar they have to book more time off work etc
- They give bigger wedding gifts
- Have to attend a rehersal dinner (another outfit to find)
As a UK bride, I've paid for ALL the bridal parties outfits, I didn't get gifts at my hen party, all the guest bar 3 live within an hour drive from the venue so they can go home after the wedding (eleminating hotel and travel costs) We don't have rehearsal dinners and we don't have registries.
I'm generalising here, as I know that's not always the case in the States or the UK or indeed the rest of the world, but my point is since guests in the US pay for so much to attend the wedding, I guess they probably do feel a bit peeved if they then have to buy their own drinks after all that outlay.
chronicwhimsy the corkage at our venue is £9 a head not per bottle. It still worked out A LOT cheaper than if we were paying for alcohol direct from a vendor.
We did a trip to France to get our booze and it costs us £700 including travel (free with the offer) and enough champers and wine to fill your boots!
@lookingglass: Glass of something sparkly on arrival, half a bottle of wine per guest with the meal and a glass of sparkly for the toast, and then a cash bar later on. – Yep that's what I'm planning on. Except it is bottled beer/bucks fizz for arrival. Cheers guys!
@chronicwhimsy: haha, that is very true! I think there would be a few raised eyebrows. Also, mine and FI's mates drink like fish!
@Soon2BeeMrsG: You're very right about the extra costs entailed from going to a wedding in the US. I'm buying all the outifts, won't have a shower or whatever, not expecting gifts at hen party (other than a cheap pretend veil and probs some penis straws or something) no rehearsal dinner, furthest away guests are 3 and a half hours away and the money that people say they spend on gifts is crazy!! Most people were saying they would find it extremely rude if less than $100-$150 dollars was given. I get a £3 postal order from my nan on my b/day and I don't really expect it to go up for my wedding haha!!

DWI Arrest in for Bainbridge Woman
9/24/2013 (Updated 8:13:51 PM)Broome County Sheriffs say 38 year old Donnette Russell of Bainbridge, NY was drunk, very drunk, when she drove her car this past Monday.
So drunk, they say, that she struck multiple trees, a garage, a parked car, and then a resident of Smith Hill Road in the Town of Chenango, who was standing in his own driveway.
And he was the guy who called police.
But just how drunk was she?
According to authorities, her blood alcohol level was .30 - or three times the legal limit.
Russell is charged with DWI and a number of other offenses and her car is impounded.
The man she hit was taken to the hospital with non-serious injuries.
She was taken to the Broome County Jail.

A Georgia law that took effect last month requires all law enforcement agencies to sell most of the guns they confiscate to licensed dealers if they can't return them to the lawful owners.
Gwinnett County's Police Department recently sold 62 guns for more than $10,000 and that money goes to the state.
We talked to a number of South Georgia law enforcement agencies about Senate Bill 350, and like many new laws, many of the agencies have different opinions about what this new state law requires and how they will comply with it.
The new Georgia law says that all law enforcement agencies will sell most of their seized or confiscated weapons to the highest bidder among licensed firearm dealers.
"A licensed distributor comes in," said Dougherty County Sheriff's Office Captain Allen Brock. "They view all the guns. And they will give us a price of the lot. Every bit of them."
But the money will go to the state, not the police agencies.
"Everybody is desperate for monies now. So this is a way to generate revenues. I'm all for it," Sheriff Kevin Sproul said.
The gun dealers can then resell those weapons, with all the requirements of usual gun purchases.
"So it goes through the whole background check. All of that, before that firearm goes back on the streets. So it is going back to a lawful owner, another lawful owner," Brock said.
Another requirement of this new law, all guns seized after use in crimes in Georgia are returned to their lawful owners. In the past, many guns seized in crimes or confiscated would just be destroyed.
"I don't know the percentage, but a lot of our weapons used in crimes, they are not used by the legal owners. They are used by the people who break not the cars and homes of these guns owners and taken these weapons out of their possession and go use them in another crime," Sproul said.
The Dougherty District Attorney's office says law enforcement agencies can do three things with confiscated guns that are not returned to lawful owners.
They can keep the gun, for use in ballistic or forensic experiments and training. They can sell them to the licensed dealers, or they can send them to the GBI, who will sell or destroy them.
The new law aims to make sure confiscated guns are made available for lawful ownership, rather than being needlessly destroyed.
"We want to make sure that if an individual has a legal right to possess a firearm, that all the laws are followed, to insure that they can legally possess it and purchase it," Brock said.
And legislators made sure under this new law that the money from the gun sales goes to the state.
Many agencies we talked to, like the Dougherty County Police, said they would let their county or city property management departments take care of the sale of these guns when they have a large enough supply for sale.
None of the South Georgia law enforcement agencies we talked have confiscated enough guns since the law took effect to have a sale yet.

places to go, people to meet
I didn't mean to be openly gay in the industry; it just kind of happened. I have trouble with holding things back, or trying to hide things that I don't feel like I should have to. Regarding the industry, I think sometimes people are quick to label you, and it's sad that it's like that. In this day and age, as much ground that we've seen breaking when it comes to equal rights, I feel in some cases [discrimination exists]. I know there are plenty of photographers who won't shoot gay models, and I think it's sad because they're passing on models who are truly talented and have a great gift.

text: It doesn't seem like the blowout lastnight is really getting a lot of attention. I saw an article about Boston blowing out Detroit, but wasn't the game lastnight the largest win margin of the year so far? Granted it was against a team that obviously has no idea what they are doing but with all of the hype about derrick rose this year it seems like it would have been more of a story. I just wanted to hear some opinions on this. Why is there no love for the blazers? Is the media afraid of hyping up the team for fear that their media blitz will be stalled by another injury? Is it because all of the writers on the east coast have tucked themselves into beddie-bye by the time the west coast games are over? Or is there something more sinister at work? Or am I just completely crazy? As usual any conspiracy theories are welcome and sarcasm is appreciated except from trolls, who will just get a golf clap and be sent on their way.

In the 1st Person: Enforcing the Curfew in Baghdad
Nov 23, 2004 — During the battle of Fallujah, insurgent attacks surged in the Al Rashid district of Baghdad, where Corporal Bill Putnam of the Army's 122nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment is stationed. Putnam is a photojournalist David Sommerstein met in Kosovo a couple years ago. In his words, insurgents could be flushed out of Fallujah and sipping tea in his neighborhood within an hour.
Yesterday he sent us an audio diary from a patrol the night of the U.S. elections. A couple days later he went out on patrol with the 1-8th Cavalry Division - or the "1-8 Cav" - to enforce the curfew imposed in Baghdad earlier this month.

We've all seen dozens of plans, and the current plan shown on HNIC the other day, while radical, actually moves very few teams. The teams that would move to different groupings are Minnesota, Winnipeg and Dallas (to the Central, along with the 5 current teams in the Central); Washington and Carolina move into the Atlantic, and Tampa Bay and Florida move into the Northeast (getting a new name presumably...). The remaining teams in the Pacific and Northwest are merged together into one conference.
To make this change (or any change) would require 20 teams to be in favor of the change. While personally, I like this scenario, the question is are there 20 teams that like it too.
First of all, it is very likely that all of the current Western teams would like it. No team would be in a conference with teams more than one time zone away. If we consider the new far west conference (Van, Cgy, Edm, Col, Phx, SJ, LA, Anh), I suspect there would be 8 Yes votes here. Reduced travel would be the big seller. Right now all these teams have to make two trips to Nashville, Columbus, etc. and that would go down to one. It's not just the travel costs, too. If the Canucks are playing in Columbus, the game likely starts at 4 PM in Vancouver, meaning folks aren't able to watch the game on TV as they're still at work.
The new Central conference will have some ardent supporters of the new plan: Detroit, Minnesota, Winnipeg, Dallas, Nashville, St. Louis and Chicago. The only team that might not be as ardent about it is Columbus, who might want to be in one of the Eastern conferences (the Atlantic with Pittsburgh). But Columbus also knows that if this radical realignment doesn't happen, they'll have 10 games in the following season starting at 10 PM or later local time (out West) instead of 5. I suspect there will be 8 "Yes" votes here too.
That brings us to 16 votes in favor. The NHL needs 20.
Looking East is where the troubles are, although likely the Commissioner only needs to get 4 or 5 votes. The rumor out there is that the Flyers are very much in favor of this new alignment, probably because they're part of the same company as Comcast, meaning it's in their best interest to have lots of good TV match ups, and 6 Wsh-Pit, Wsh-Phi, Phi-NYR, Pit-NYR, Phi-Pit, Bos-Mtl, will work out for them. I can also see Ted and the Capitals being in favor of it as well, since it would mean shorter trips to games for the team, and more match-ups with traditional rivals. I suspect Mario might be in favor of the plan, ditto for the Rangers' ownership. If we assume that the Caps, Flyers, Pens and Rangers are in favor. The Canes will probably vote in favor as well since it means more games with closer rivals. The Devils will probably go with the same plan as the Rangers. The Islanders will vote which ever way gets them a new arena.
Before getting to the Northeast-Florida conference, the NHL probably has enough votes to pass this. I have a hunch the only teams in favor of the plan in the this conference are the two Florida teams, as they draw well when Montreal, Boston and Toronto come to town. I also suspect Montreal and Toronto are going to be the most opposed to this realignment.
It looks very much like this plan will be adopted by the league, and personally, it gives the league flexibility as well as stability.

Survey asks new students about health and wellness needs
Incoming students can offer their input on health and wellness programs at Queen's through a survey included in the orientation issue of the online magazine Student Health 101.
"The wellness needs assessment gives us the opportunity to connect with students early on and determine the areas where they want support," says Beth Doxsee, the peer health outreach coordinator in Health, Counselling and Disability Services. "The information gathered in the survey will allow us to tailor our programs and activities and ensure they remain relevant for incoming students."
Several units on campus worked together to develop the quick, simple and anonymous survey touching on several aspects of health and wellness at the university. Students who complete it can enter their name in a draw for a prize of $1,000.
The magazine's readership has risen steadily over the last two years. Much of the content is written by students and the online magazine conveniently directs students to the resources on campus to help them with health and wellness issues.
"Students enjoy the magazine and are relieved to learn their peers are dealing with some of the same situations they are," says Ms Doxsee.
A link to Student Health 101 is included in the Student Affairs email sent to all first-year students each month. The issues are also posted on the Student Affairs website, the Queen's University Be Well Facebook and Twitter accounts, and the websites of various campus partners. The wellness needs assessment can also be accessed directly on the web.

I am a Managerial Genius Until Someone Tells Me Otherwise
Insurance Experts' Forum, November 14, 2013
How would you feel if, for the last 10 years, you had no feedback on your leadership at work? As one friend responded I prefer to live in ignorant bliss that I am a managerial genius. Tempting to think that, isnt it.
As the CEO of a startup and now rapidly growing early stage company, I really havent had any leadership feedback since starting co-founding Embrace back in 2003. The feedback has tended towards either the company (find the magic distribution channel and then well invest or grow fast but profitably) or our company results (xxx job with xxx being great or disappointing, paradoxically sometimes in the same year) rather than something I personally can use in my leadership role.
This year, I decided no more excuses. Being small and with fewer resources than most (our Controller does our HR role, for example) is not a valid excuse but how do I ask my direct reports to critique me freely and honestly. As you can imagine, they admitted they would feel awkward sitting one on one with me and pouring out their opinions and experiences of my weaknesses.
So what to do? At Embrace, were not in the position to have HR systems to mask the feedback (which often has the end result of blurring it so much that its hardly useful, in my opinion), so I finally decided to have the Embrace manager do for me what they do for themselves a SWOT analysis. Every year, the Embracers go through their own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats with their manager as part of their annual review. Its the easiest and most effective way to get at development goals for the coming year. And its always an interesting conversation, if a little nerve wracking for the less experienced staff (heck, for all of us, if we are to be honest with ourselves.)
In my case, I had the company managers come together and create a combined SWOT analysis for me and then two of them were nominated to present it to me. Before the review meeting I did my own SWOT so I could see if I was at least seeing me in a similar way as my managers. The results were the best gift my managers could have given me.
For example, one of my weaknesses I am always working on is listening. I really could do better at that, both in my work and personal lives, and my manager SWOT placed that as a strength in their opinion score! It seems my efforts are paying off there. On the other hand, a weakness pointed out was the occasions of harsh tone both verbally and in writing, perceived as talking down to people ouch! But very true I must admit, painful to recognize as that is.
Apart from some new weaknesses and opportunities to work on, I gained several aha moments out of this experience.
First, the managers really enjoyed working together on my SWOT talk about the ultimate team building opportunity. They really took the task seriously and came up with some excellent and useful points. More importantly though, not only was it time together to speak freely about their CEO (one can only imagine the conversation), but they believed it would help the company and that their feedback was valuable. Now its up to me to prove them right.
The final point that shouted out loud and proud, ultimately the Embrace culture and core values allowed our managers to feel comfortable enough to speak honestly and without fear.
Now thats something to cheer about.

Gallup Daily: Obama 50,
Calamity Jane Clinton 41. Obama +1, Clinton -1.
Rasmussen: Obama 48, Clinton 44. Obama +4, Clinton -1.
Both polls were taken during the dust-up over the "bitter" remarks, and show movement towards Obama among Democrats.

New York Times's Public Editor Has Beef With Paper's Hostility Toward Meat-Eating
New York Times Public Editor Arthur Brisbane got in a little food fight with Ariel Kaminer, the Ethicist columnist for the paper's Sunday Magazine, over Kaminer's much-hyped essay contest in which readers were invited to defend the unenlightened, outdated, just plain bizarre practice of...eating meat?
Populist impatience with his paper's righteous liberal fussiness seeped out of Brisbane's copy: "The case for eating meat, as presented in The Times, is a pretty narrow one. If you can crawl through the eye of the needle with your in vitro burger in hand, you may feel free to chow down in good conscience." Proving his point, the winner of the popular vote was an essay from the founder of PETA, a vegetarian.
Count on The New York Times to take a basic topic and vault it into the stratosphere of esoteric, philosophic discussion. Food, for instance.
Other daily newspapers and Web sites tell you about restaurants, recipes and diet. The Times does that, of course. But it also tells you about the ethics of eating. Whether you like it or not.
In the Sunday magazine today, The Times completes an essay-writing contest initiated a few weeks back by Ariel Kaminer, who writes the column "The Ethicist." Today's column announces the winner from among 3,000 essayists who responded to Ms. Kaminer's request to "tell us why it's ethical to eat meat."
The contest stirred a fuss even before it was over, as bloggers, commenters and e-mailers lodged objections on every conceivable side of the question, while others jumped in as participants. In addition to the 3,000 people who took the time to write an essay of up to 600 words, almost 17,000 people submitted votes for their favorite essay among the six finalists selected by a panel of judges.
It was fun, unless you were a meat-eater who just wanted to dine in peace. The setup of the contest virtually ensured that no unapologetic ode to meat would win. That's because the six judges were, in Ms. Kaminer's words, "some of the most influential thinkers to question or condemn the eating of meat."
The winning entry, as selected by the panel, argued that eating meat was ethical only under certain conditions -- so many conditions that I am just going to have to refer you to the essay in the magazine, because it's awfully complicated.
There was a different winner in the popular vote by readers. That essay, written by Ingrid Newkirk, a founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, argued that the only meat that can be ethically consumed is in vitro meat.
According to Ms. Newkirk, this form of laboratory-grown meat will be available later this year and is "real meat, grown from real cow, chicken, pig and fish cells, all grown in culture without the mess and misery."
I think you get the picture. The case for eating meat, as presented in The Times, is a pretty narrow one. If you can crawl through the eye of the needle with your in vitro burger in hand, you may feel free to chow down in good conscience.

Ethical treatment of Food Animals. A.k.a Kosher Laws
Submitted by CobraMan on Wed, 05/09/2012 - 11:24am.
You know, the Jews decided how "ethical" it was to eat meat, and how important it was to treat the slaughtered animals humanly, when they created their Kosher Laws. That was thousands of years ago. What new argument could the New York Times possibly inject, thousands of years later?
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. The US Constitution
Unless you're a fetus. The US Supreme Court
Or Anwar al-Awlaki.

Britain's answer to Forrest Gump has spoken of his joy at completing a gruelling 5,000 mile coast-to-coast charity run across Canada.
Jamie McDonald, 27, has raised more than £150,000 for children's charities after finishing the run dressed as comic book superhero The Flash.
He became the first person to run across Canada without a support team when he crossed the finishing line in Vancouver yesterday – nearly 12 months after setting off.
The run is the equivalent of more than 200 marathons in 275 days, and involved Mr McDonald sleeping rough and saw him go through 10 pairs of trainers.
'I just can't believe it's over,' he explained.
'I have worked for so long and given this run everything I have, physically and mentally, that to finally dip my hand into the Pacific Ocean eleven months and more than 200 marathons after doing the same thing in the Atlantic Ocean is just incredible.'
The finish, but certainly not the end. Anyone can be a super hero. #finalflash http://t.co/1a6ZCJVSkT—
JamieMcDonald (@MrJamieMcDonald) February 04, 2014
He added: 'I feel a real mix of emotions. I'm ecstatic that I have finished.
'I'm honoured to have met so many amazing people in what is truly a beautiful country. I'm humbled by the support people in the UK and Canada have given me.
'I'm hopeful that my run has and will inspire people to know that we can do whatever we put our mind to.'
Today is the day, I can't thank you all enough. Please read & share this press release: jamiemcdonald.org/2014/02/03/pre… Pic: http://t.co/4NxwAATJUF—
JamieMcDonald (@MrJamieMcDonald) February 03, 2014
He was forced to run for more than 2,000 miles with chronic tendonitis and was even mugged in an unprovoked attack on New Year's Eve.
A homecoming celebration is planned in Gloucester on February 13.

Clubs in Public Elementary Schools After School Hours
Case Summary:
Good News Club et. al. v. Milford Central School (2001)
Milford Central Schools policy authorized district residents to
use its buildings after school for, among other purposes, 1) instruction
in education, learning or the arts, and 2) social, civic, recreational
and entertainment uses pertaining to the community welfare. Two
district residents, Stephen and Darleen Fournier, sponsored the
Good News Club, a private Christian organization for children ages
six to 12. The Fourniers submitted a request to hold the clubs
weekly afterschool meetings in the school.
Milford Central School denied the request on the ground that the
proposed use to sing songs, hear Bible lessons, memorize scripture
and pray was the equivalent of religious worship prohibited by the
community use policy. The Fourniers filed suit that their free speech
rights had been violated. The Fourniers (collectively, the Club)
lost their case in District Court. Because the school had not allowed
other groups providing religious instruction to use its limited
public forum, the [District C]ourt held that [Milford] could deny
the Club access without engaging in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.
The Club appealed. The Second Circuit Court held that, because
the Clubs subject matter was quintessentially religious and its
activities fell outside the bounds of pure moral and character development,
Milfords policy was constitutional subject discrimination, not
unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.
First Amendment Issue
Did Milford Central School violate the Good News Clubs free speech
rights when it excluded the Club from meeting after hours at the
school? Was any such violation justified by Milfords concern that
permitting the Clubs activities would violate the Establishment
The Courts Decision
The Supreme Court concluded that Milford Central Schools restriction
violated the Clubs free speech rights and that no Establishment
Clause concern justified that violation.
The Opinion of the Court
Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the opinion of the Court.

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. - A Rehoboth Beach man has been arrested after police say that he tried to steal his landlord's vehicle.
The Department of Motor Vehicles called State Police in reference to a wanted subject who was reportedly trying to register a vehicle. Police arrived and arrested, Anthony Didomenicis, 40, who was wanted out of Sussex County.
When they searched him, they reportedly found a check book belonging to his landlord. They say that he also had two loose checks, apparently signed by the victim; one made out to the suspect, and one made out to the DMV.
Police reportedly found that Didomenicis also had the victim's truck, and it's title, and was allegedly trying to register it under his name.
Police say they investigated and discovered that the victim was staying at Beebe Hospital when Didomenicis reportedly stole the truck, and had no idea his property had been taken.
Didomenicis was charged with 34 counts of theft, 3 counts of attempted theft, and 3 counts of forgery 2nd. He is being held at Sussex Correctional Institution on $23,000 bond.

This is a textbook case of going from one extreme to the other. For decades, the Quebec government slept in the bed of the Roman Catholic Church. Nowadays, its secularist agenda is so radical it applies to three-year-old kids.
Earlier this month, Family Minister Yolande James announced a ban on religious instruction in subsidized daycare centres. Ms. James's ministry will triple the number of inspectors, to 58, and violations will be punished by the suppression of funding, which amounts to $40 a day per child, since parents pay no more than $7 a day.
How will these bureaucrats make the distinction between culture and religion?
Read it all.

Québec continues to circle the drain. It has, indeed, been unable to find some semblance of a reasonable centre point. It remains the only place in North America where mothers will swell with pride and say Mon fils est bureaucrate.—"My son is a bureaucrat"—or a politician will quite seriously state "We'll be putting our best technocrats to work on the problem." and assume that will reassure people that things are under control.
Québec's fundamental problem is a nasty intersection between culture and demographics. After the Romans were pushed out of effective political power the birthrate crashed. Québec is a place where between about 1880 and 1940 the birthrate was closely approaching the theoretical maximum for the human species, yet since 1960 any possibility of hitting natural replacement rate is a far distant glimmer on the horizon. When I was living there (1978 to '91) many of my colleagues had been raised in families of more than a dozen children. More than 20 was not rare. Today, one child is the norm, and many couples opt for no children at all.
Therein lies the problem. Québec wishes to maintain its cultural (and linguistic) purity but the population of "pure wool" Québecois is crashing. In response they have, for the last generation, required children of immigrants to be schooled in French. What does not work, and cannot work, is that language is not the same as culture.
My sons are native speakers of French, but they think like Anglos, and in particular, like Americans. Same problem with Greeks, Russians, Congolese, and so on ... they don't think and believe according to the cultural norms of the old Québec.
Preserve your language, or preserve your culture: choose one. This op-ed merely describes one symptom of Québec's horrible dilemma.January 3, 1:45 pm | [comment link]

Ed Catmull, president of the Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, is selling his "true Georgian Colonial estate" in the Del Mesa area of Kentfield, California. Gotta say the exterior didn't excite me much, but I was pleasantly surprised by the interiors. It's on the market for $10.9 million–check it out!
The 8,864 square-foot house was originally built in 1935, but was "extensively rebuilt in 2000″ by architect Steve Wisenbaker.
Dr. Ed Catmull pioneered many important developments in computer graphics that we see in movies today. He founded Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter, a company that changed the look of animated films with movies like Toy Story and Finding Nemo.
The kitchen has zinc slab countertops and state-of-the-art appliances, which include a Charvet Caumartin Range (gorgeous!):
The house has 6 bedrooms and 8 full baths.
"This true Georgian Colonial residence is a majestic, park-like estate with views of Mt. Tamalpais and the Southern Marin Ridgeline," the listing states.
Like it? For more photos and information check the listing with Beth Brody of Alain Pinel Realtors and the article on AOL Real Estate. (Thanks to Jennifer for the tip!)

I don't have much to add above and beyond what I posted on Primer. Suffice it to say, I think we can all agree that this is a good thing for the team. But also interesting are its implications about the level of control Byrnes has over the team. For now I believe this to be a good thing, but does anyone here have potential worries about a single GM with too much sway in the organization. Questions to ponder.
And a note for those who do read my Primer post: yes I strongly dislike Ortiz, no I wouldn't intentionally run over him with my car as some people have taken that post to mean.

In the actual device (N95), there is an application called Nokia maps that actually provides map data for the API but on a s60 3rd edition FP1 SDK, nokia didnt provide any application so a third pary application is required, any idea were can we get such an application????

Do I need work experience to enroll in the program?
For the full-time MBA in Entrepreneurship no work experience is required. You can begin immediately after completing your undergraduate program. Because of the increased focus on innovation in the workplace, the part-time program requires 5 years of work experience. Both programs attract individuals of all ages and with diverse professional backgrounds. You do not need to have any prior business education to enroll in the program; in fact most of the students earned their undergraduate degrees in subjects other than business.
When does the program start?
The program begins in Summer of each year. The full-time program's classes end in Maymester of the following year, but students do not officially graduate until August. This is because Clemson only awards diplomas three times per year. The part-time program also begins in Summer and runs for 27 months.
What time are classes and where are they located?
In person classes are all held in downtown Greenville at 1 North Main Street. Full-time classes are scheduled Monday – Thursday during the day. The bulk of part-time classes are held online at designated times, one evening per class. To obtain the contact hours required for accreditation, part-time students are required to meet in Greenville two weekends per semester from noon on Friday until noon on Sunday. Part-time students will be provided with a hotel room free of charge Friday and Saturday night during their in-person weekends if needed.
How many people are in the class?
Each cohort is limited to 30 people or fewer. The cohort moves through the program as a group, with everyone taking the same classes at the same time. This model is ideal for fostering teamwork and encouraging organic formation of strategic partnerships.
Can I work while I'm in the program?
For full-time students: while it is theoretically possible to work part-time while enrolled in the program we do not recommend it. The reason is because in addition to the regular scheduled classes there are numerous events that take place in the evenings and sometimes on weekends that are an integral part of the program and experience. You will also be spending an average of 15-20 hours per week outside of class working on developing your business idea, plus regular homework.
Part-time students will of course be able to keep their current jobs as they work through the program.
What if I change my mind about my business idea or decide I don't want to start a business after all?
Full-time students enter the program with the intention to start a venture, but may decide that the venture is unsustainable or simply change their minds about their idea. That is completely fine. In fact, we find it very unlikely that students will graduate with the exact business idea they start with. The program is designed to help you flesh out the idea and refine and change it as necessary to be successful in the marketplace. If you discover that starting a business of your own isn't for you– not to worry. You will still be graduating with a Clemson MBA degree and a highly marketable skill set. The principles you learn attempting to start a business – critical thinking, innovation, creativity – are great assets in the corporate world as well. In fact:
"Creativity is the most important leadership quality, according to CEOs. Standouts practice and encourage experimentation and innovation throughout their organizations. To succeed, they take more calculated risks, find new ideas, and keep innovating in how they lead and communicate."
The part-time program has a different focus – while some of the cohort may be working toward launching their own ventures, others in the group will be learning how to innovate at their current jobs. The curriculum of the part-time program is adjusted to reflect the dual needs of the part-time cohort, and each student will decide which track best suits his or her goals.

Readers of this Web site say that Buffalo will be the last team to win a game this season, according to the results of our recently concluded poll.
Panthers QB Moore to start vs. 49ers
Panthers QB Matt Moore will start Sunday against San Francisco, head coach John Fox said Monday.
Panthers going nowhere fast
There are many reasons behind the Panthers' pathetic showing, but the biggest problem has been the ineffective and uninspired coaching of John Fox and his staff the first third of the season, the way we hear it.
Panthers' Fox attempts to maintain positive image
While John Fox attempts to put space between himself and the Panthers' failings, there are some who say the head coach deserves blame for the way things are going.
Panthers sign WR Thomas
The Panthers have signed former Redskins WR Devin Thomas to assist their 31st-ranked passing attack.

Anderson says he has agreed to a one-year contract to remain with the Carolina Panthers as Cam Newton's backup. Anderson says he will sign the contract later Wednesday. Financial details were not disclosed.||||||| Anderson told The Associated Press he's "excited to come back be a part of such a great locker room." He says Carolina is a team "on the rise" and though the Panthers "have some work to do ... we feel like we ended on a high note last season."
Anderson says he's agreed to a one-year contract to remain with Carolina. He would not disclose the financial terms of the deal.||||||| Anderson says he likes the progress the Panthers showed in 2011 under first-year coach Ron Rivera and that he's "just excited to get back and build on the success that we had last season." The 28-year-old Anderson is expected again to backup Cam Newton, who was named the Associated Press' offensive rookie of the year last season.
Anderson sat out practice again Thursday because he had not been cleared to participate after a concussion sidelined him late in Sunday's 19-6 loss to St. Louis.||||||| That left rookie John Skelton and newly signed Richard Bartel as the only quarterbacks to practice.
Anderson was 7 for 20 for 93 yards and one interception Sunday in a 19-6 loss to St. Louis.||||||| Anderson could lose his starting job to untested rookie John Skelton. Fantasy owners should stay tuned.
Anderson has apologized for his Monday night post-game tirade. "My mom and dad didn't raise me to act like that in times of adversity," he said. The quarterback's rant, now a nationwide Internet spectacle, came after a series of questions from a reporter about why Anderson was smiling with teammate Deuce Lutui on the sidelines while the Cardinals were trailing by 18 points late in the game.||||||| Anderson was low-key and contrite as he opened his weekly news conference on Wednesday. "Let's try to do this in a manner that doesn't end up all over the YouTube, if we can," he said. " ... Obviously I was very frustrated by what had happened during the game, and I let my emotions get away from me."

The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) gave the Bedford Regional Water Authority permission to take about 10 million more gallons out of Smith Mountain Lake daily.
The permit from DEQ allows the authority to take a maximum of 12 million gallons of water from the lake daily.
The previous max was 2.99 million.
Right now, the authority averages about 600,000 gallons per day, said communications coordinator Megan Rapp.
Appalachian Power, which administers the lake level, and a federal regulatory agency must also gave their okay before the authority can move forward.
In all, it's a $33 million project the authority hopes to finish by 2016.
It includes plans to expand the authority's intake station near Smith Mountain Lake, build an additional water treatment plant, and install piping to take water from the lake to the treatment plant and then on into the Forest community.
Currently the authority buys the water it uses to furnish the Forest community from Lynchburg.
"It [will] allow for more efficiency," Rapp said. "It's going to increase fire service. It allows us to reach customers that have inquired about future service."
Appalachian Power spokesman Todd Burns said there was no time table for when APCo would decide on the authority's maximum level of intake out of Smith Mountain Lake.

The event raises money for several cancer related research organization, as well as Athletes 4 Cancer, an amazing organization that sends young cancer survivors to a retreat, Camp Koru" on Hawaii that helps a them re-enter a life that has often drastically changed, and may at times feel like life ended even though they survived the cancer treatment. At Koru the campers learn to reengage with life through water sports, such as surfing, SUP, and kiteboarding. Check their website out.
Besides the money raised, many people come to be wowed by the sheer number of kites on the water at a single time during the 6 hour endurance race. Many riders clock well over 100 miles of riding in a single day by doing 60-70 laps around a 3 mile course.
This year I once again participated in the race, and while I didn't go the full distance, I did personally raise $1,000 to the cause during the weeks prior to the event.
Here are some pictures of me riding in the event....
Same moment, different angle....
While I don't have any pictures to prove it, the event was heavily attended by the pros. Jason Slezack, Craig Cunningham, Colleen Carroll, Sam Light, Renu Romeo, Brandon Sheid, and others I am sure that I am forgetting.
Anyways, it was a hugely successful event, with a ton of money raised for the cause.
Here are a few other pictures from the event.

An amendment that would have eliminated the market stabilization program for milk pricing in the current Farm Bill has been defeated. Lawmakers in the U.S. House Agriculture Committee this morning debated the measure proposed by Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-Virginia) and David Scott (D-Georgia), which would provide a safety net for dairy producers without requiring them to participate in a supply management program, such as the Dairy Security Act that is already in the Senate's version of the bill.
Goodlatte argued that their amendment is more in line with the overall Farm Bill making its way through Congress and would actually provide more support for smaller family dairy farms. He said that the margin insurance is simple and not tied to a convoluted supply management system, costs less for premiums, and even appeals to larger dairies. "These [big] dairy farms know that paying a modest premium for their production above the 250-cow level is a better deal for them than getting saddled with supply management." Scott, the co-sponsor on the amendment, said the main point is that it would keep milk and dairy products affordable for consumers. "The stabilization program that our amendment would take out would artificially reduce the supply of milk throughout this country, thereby, increasing milk and dairy product prices for consumers," he said, adding that economic times are too tough to do this.
But Ranking Member of the House Ag Committee Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MN) called the amendment a recipe for disaster. He pointed to the dairy collapse in 2009 as a prime example of why the current safety net in the bill is needed. "It was bad, but it would have been a heckuva lot worse [without the CWT program]." Peterson also said that 70 percent of producers paid for it while 30 percent got a free ride. And he disagreed with Scott's contention about prices. "What a bunch of nonsense. We had the lowest milk prices in history [in 2009], and did anyone cut their prices at the retail level? No, they raised them. Give me a break!" Peterson was joined by committee chairman Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK) in calling for the defeat of the amendment.

Critically Acclaimed director of 1991's Daughters of The Dust, Julie Dash, is in negotiations to direct a new feature film titled Tupelo 77, according to Bob Crowe (Rabbit Fall, Stained) of Angel Entertainment, who will serve as producer of the film along with Sean Hewitt (Carry Me Home).
Tupelo 77, written by Rich Mancuso, is set to start filming during late 2012, and casting is currently underway. The film, according to the press release, is "set in a small town in Mississippi during the summer of 1977, the year of Elvis Presley's death and the hottest summer on record in Mississippi. The film chronicles the lives of a group of women of various ages and races who are regulars at a roadside diner. Together they struggle to transcend the obstacles of poverty, racial and religious differences, and the persistent wounds of war."
Angel Entertainment's Crowe says he has been a fan of Julie Dash's work for "a long time." He says, "Her ability to handle delicate and important subject matter with ease and grace is second to none. Sean Hewitt and I are overjoyed to have her on board."
Julie Dash seems enthused about the project. Dash said, "It is not every day that I come across a story that so beautifully depicts the kinds of relationships that transcend race and age and that simply tell a tale about a corner of the world. The script really spoke to me and I felt that I already knew the women on the page. I am very excited to work on this meaningful story about relationships."
Ayanna Cezanne | February 22, 2012 8:45 PM
So very excited to hear of this for 2012, Julie Dash is such an amazing director, casting for these types of roles are a dream for any actress, knowing that the storyline captures relationships that tell a story we all need to see. Can't wait for this one, any leads for Casting information?
Bubbles | January 24, 2012 5:21 PM
Tupelo 77? But this will conflict with her "Making Angels" commitment. Julie is scheduled to shoot that one this year.
Jeanie Lyons | January 24, 2012 4:29 PM
I just want to say "hello" to an old friend from Vernon Blvd. I saw "Daughters of the Dust" and loved everything about it, especially the beautiful cinematography. I've been hoping to see another film by you, Julie and looking forward to this new one. If you need an actress, please let me know, I would love to audition :-). Please take care and hope to hear from you.

I am a big fan of Julie Dash!!!! Actually, "Daughters of The Dust" was one of the films that encouraged me to peruse a career in filmmaking!!!! The DP of "Daughters of the Dust", Arthur Jafa is one of my favorite cinematographers. Once, I saw Ms. Dash's film I knew then that my mission was to peruse the art and craft of cinematograpghy . I hope to see more of Julie Dash's work in the near future.
Cordell | January 23, 2012 11:04 AM
Sounds intriguing. Hopefully Viola Davis, Nicole Beharie, or Sophie Okonedo are cast in this film :)
urbanauteur | January 23, 2012 9:35 AM
Best news i heard..;-)
Tamara | January 23, 2012 8:59 AM
Sounds wonderful. Upon reading the title I was reminded of a record by Cassandra Wilson. Not necessarily the title of one of her songs but "Tupelo" being mentioned in a verse somewhere. She's from Mississippi and her music evokes so much of that region. I think it'd be great to see a soundtrack/music collaboration with Dash on this project.
Shanea | January 23, 2012 8:47 AM
This is very good news. And I'm already intrigued by the premise.

Great to see Dash back behind the camera. It's been too long.

Large crowds gather around No. 16 at Augusta National Golf Club during the practice rounds for the Masters, but they're not there to see simple tee shots and approaches. Instead, in one of The Masters' traditions, golfers hit their practice shots, step up to the front of the tee shots, and skip balls across the water in one of the week's more entertaining events. It's always fun to watch, and every once in a while something special happens.
A few years ago, it was Vijay Singh pulling off the near-impossible, skipping a shot across the pond, up onto the green, down the slope near the hole and into the cup for an ace. It was the first such ace, by way of a skip-shot, that anyone could recall -- a rare and amazing moment during the somewhat dull practice rounds.
And on Monday, Martin Kaymer made it two, pulling off the same feat in a practice round.
There aren't typically television cameras around 16 during the practice round, sadly, but we do have amateur footage. And in this case, that amateur footage is good enough.
One heck of a shot by Kaymer, though I'm sure we won't see him try it again during the tournament.

ESPN job prompts Urban Meyer to resign from Florida
By Jason Lieser
Former Gators coach Urban Meyer, who signed with ESPN this week, has resigned from Florida.
Meyer stepped down as coach after the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 and planned to remain on staff at the University Athletic Association, but left the school to avoid potential NCAA infractions now that he is on staff at ESPN.
"The University of Florida has been a big part of my personal and professional life for the past six years and while I will no longer be able to continue a professional relationship with the university, I will continue to support the many friends I made during my time there," he said in a statement released by the school.
A Florida spokesperson confirmed that Meyer will not work for or be officially associated with the university in any capacity. The spokesperson said the resignation was Meyer's choice, and the NCAA did not contact Florida about the situation.
Gators Athletic Director Jeremy Foley said he was content with Meyer's decision to end his employment with the program.
"We were pleased to provide Coach Meyer with an opportunity within our athletic department, but the chance to work for ESPN was a perfect fit for him and his family," Foley said in a statement released by the UAA. "He will always be welcome here and we are forever indebted for what he accomplished and how he represented the University of Florida.
"He gave every ounce of energy to this program for six years and we certainly share a special bond with him. We will always remain close friends and I look forward to seeing him enjoy the next chapter in his life. Coach Meyer will always be a Gator."
Meyer and Foley said in December they planned to have Meyer stay on staff at Florida even if he accepted a job in the media. When ESPN announced Meyer's hiring Monday, executive vice president of production Norby Williamson said he did not object to Meyer's affiliation with Florida.
Meyer's post-coaching role at Florida was never clarified, though he implied it pertained to fundraising. He moved into a new office at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium shortly after the Outback Bowl.
Meyer signed on to cover a weekly game and do regular TV and radio appearances, a move that has been expected since Christmas. He began his full-time role at the network with today's national signing day coverage.
Meyer can continue living in Gainesville while working for ESPN and said he intends to do so.

Dan Evans
(nominated by Joe Kindt)
Dan is a quiet guy who involves himself in some of the roles here on campus. One thing that I've noticed in Dan is that he goes above and beyond this off of campus. He volunteers his time with a local Cub Scout Pack. He doesn't get any recognition for this (other than the thanks from the boys in his pack), but it's a role that he has selflessly taken on to better the community while he lives here in South Bend.

text: Quarterbacks are measured by their performances in the playoffs. Legendary QBs like Montana and Elway have done great things in the post season and that is why they are two of the games best. I believe Aaron Rodgers is capable of one day becoming an all time great, that's why this season I am very excited to see how Aaron Rodgers does this time around in the playoffs. Last year Rodgers had a great game against the Cardinals but in a losing effort, but hey putting up 45 points in a game is nothing to feel bad about. This year Aaron started the playoffs with the biggest game of the weekend against the Eagles and the electrifying Michael Vick. All he did was what great quarterbacks do, win when it counts. Everyone knows this, plus I posted about it already, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are the two best quarterbacks in the league. Period. But what is a discussion is who is the third best quarterback in the league. Drew Brees certainly looked the part last year but having 22 ints this year really isn't a good thing to do while trying to make your case. So I have sent out my invitation to Rodgers to be the third best quarterback in the NFL. What an honor, I know. With a strong playoff push, which this Packer team can pull off, Rodgers can start making his mark on the NFL and prove what a lot of people are starting to expect, phenomenal things. He is capable of entering the Brady/Manning level of greatness. This Brett Favre back up is now in perfect position to make Green Bay completely forget about the old gunslinger and think about the new young stud. Hey Aaron, you proved your great character when Brett Favre said he was retiring and then came back so now it is time to prove your an elite quarterback against Matt Ryan and the NFC leading Falcons, go get 'em tiger.
