Family over talent?
I'm afraid that the youngest one, age 4, is also the most gifted one...
He hits against the wall every day...
challenges me and others to play imaginary GS finals all the time...
today practically forced me to buy him a sweatband similar to what Delpo used last week...
have imitated Delpo several days now after seeing him play (big serve and forehand, expressionless)...before that Djoker, before that Fed, before that Nadal...
shows me shadow stroking motions asking confirmation with a smily face "follow tru is supposed to look like this, right?" (propably after overhearing me teaching others)...
Practises serve and also volley and slice backhand against the wall daily...
Pretty fast with his feet after keeping up with older siblings all his life...
good throwing motion...
All round athletic ability, skating, skiing, basketball, soccer
Refuses to lose in anything, cries after losses, blames others for his losses and demands revenge match every time...
Tells me he is going to play in every GS final and wants to know what surface they are played on, then asking where and when he can start practise on grass...
His profession will be Tennis Professional so he says,and the second choice is either basketball or - Rugby.
Wants to have daily discussions why this and that pro player is better than the other...
I have never asked him to play tennis but quite the contrary, he has very often been asked to play soccer or whatever instead (and not disturb), with a promise to hit with him couple of minutes in the end)...he just have picked this whole tennis thing up by himself
He is so into tennis that probably I should be very happy?
Well I am but at the same time, I'm not.
I'm thinking how his older siblings, who also are very competitive, can handle the situation in the following years if it turns out that they are just average but he is something else (it's too early to tell I know...
Help, anyone
look up the old jan silva threads.
take it easy and slow
High and deep, I will, thanks!
I'm actually most afraid that I will end up spending too much time with some of them and others end up feeling they were/are not as important to me and become bitter.
So...not moving to France with him at this point
I have the same thing here. Now mine is 10 1/2. He is almost 5'3" with a 9.5 size shoe. He made a lot of friends all over the south. This weekend we are going to his first Bullfrog tournament. There will be about 15 kids there that he is friends with. It will be a blast and we are sure to go to dinner with several kids each night.
Happened with Andre Agassi - elder siblings did not turn out great. Same with John Roddick and Jamie Murray.
I have triplets (9) and twins (4). Trips are playing Tennessee tourneys and have under 10 rankings. Twins already know what strokes are, who the pros are, constantly bug me (in a good cute way) to play, and imitate the trips when we go out to play on local courts. Five kids on a court is pretty interesting. If the twins behave we give them a ten minute "baby intermission" and do relay races. Imitation is a powerful learning tool, absolutely amazing the stuff they pick up. I am primary coach for everyone. Luckily I am a former teaching pro and love working with my kids. I could simply not afford to develop players anyway else! We play about 6 hours a week winter for big kids, plus lots of ping pong, and volley work. Little guys play about 10-15 mins. a day and I always leave them wanting more. Summer big kids play about 15 hours a week. We belong to affordable club and there are some good kids to practice with and play matches.
Good luck on the journey. I am right there with you.
I wish there was a book out on how to be successful coaching your own kids...
I thought John Roddick turned out ok, isn't he a successful coach at Oklahoma?
What about Murray, what is he up to these days? I think he won a mixed slam at one point...
That would be an interesting side discussion...how have older siblings of famous players on average turned out....
not really farfetched. One of my twins ( just turned four) knows all the players and tells me about them all the time. He thinks that Roger Federer is much better than Andy Murray because he has a good forehand with topspin. My other twin wants to go play tennis against Ryoma from the Prince of Tennis because he says that " I can beat him left handed"... He watches the Prince of tennis obsessively. It is cute. Doesn't mean we are going to have world champs.... I just want them to have some balance and lifelong love of the game.
What I have seen is parents getting too excited and compared them so much. Kids are going to pick up on that easily. What makes the youngest proud, will also make the older ones feel like a loser.
Also be open minded and nurture individual talent. It's impossible for all of your children to have equal tennis talent. If you are open minded, you might find that one kid is great in math, music or a great soccer player instead of tennis talent.
(Speaking from my experience growing up in a big family, raising 2 kids and seeing what other parents have gone through. Good Luck and enjoy each child's accomplishment!)
IMO Having older tennis playing siblings is an amazing advantage for a prospective tennis player.... They are likely to have grown up on the court, if the kid is competitive they will constantly be striving to be better and beat their older brother /sister, they have a ready made hitting partner and we parents have learnt from our mistakes with the older kids. Downside = It can be really hard on the older child, particularly if they are close in age (18 months -2years). For your 4 year old, trade on the benefit, don't short-cut on technique and get them used to hitting and returning at the pace of their older sibling asap
And of course P and J Mac.
Then there is James Blake who was more successful than his younger sibling Thomas.
thomas is older IIRC. he paved the way for.james to go to harvard
seems like in most sports (hockey, tennis, motorsports are the three I'm most familiar with), the oldest child usually do not do as well as the younger siblings. parents probably adjust their methods to be more effective and the experience gained with the first child helps them make better decisions. also, being able to train with an older, stronger and better sibling from a young age is a huge advantage for an aspiring athlete.
Federer and Nadal are the firstborns, but have younger sisters who are not athletically inclined
Serena has won many more Slams than Venus, though Venus is really a very very good player in her own right who happened to be unlucky in a sense.
Djokovic is a bit of an exception, in that his younger brothers have not shown his level of success in tennis.
Murray, Blake, Roddick, Filip Peliwo (who's the youngest of three) fit the usual trend
Maurice and Henri Richard - Maurice was 10 years older and a more explosive player, but Henri had the longer and better career overall
Sean and Chris Pronger - Chris was an all-star defenseman, while older brother Sean was a career minor-leaguer (and the author of a pretty funny autobiography)
Alain and Mario Lemieux - Alain only played a few games in the NHL. Mario is a hall of famer
Jacques Villeneuve Sr. and Gilles Villeneuve - older brother stayed in Canada and (still) races snowmobiles. little bro went to drive for Ferrari and briefly was one of the best drivers on the planet
Wilson and Emerson Fittipaldi
Pedro and Ricardo Rodriguez - Both died very young but Ricardo was supposedly more talented
Aldo and Mario Andretti
Did you wrote 'the same thing' meaning your youngest turned out to be most into tennis? If so, are the older ones still playing?
All of you referring that birth order thing...
Yes, its interesting what all of the effects are...and also probably innate temperament playes major role here I think, for some genes it's maybe best to be born 1st and for some 2nd - I mean if we talk about competive sport and motivation
Thank You - and same to you!
The book...I think you could be quite an expert yourself in 10 years to write it don't you think :)
My older son is still playing. He turned 16 today. He is a good player but does not have as much success relative to his peers. He has been ranked around 65 in our state at best. My younger son was 2 in his age division.

How does it compare to the Valley Forge show? paccw04-08-2007, 09:21I was wondering this myself.Looks like we have to go to find out. Ramtuff04-08-2007, 10:55Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. That's ok though...I like wandering around gun shows. Ramtuff04-13-2007, 22:27Here are the dates of the show for anyone else interested...May 19 and 20. paccw04-14-2007, 09:12American Rifleman has April 21 and 22 Greater Reading Expo Center 570-679-2250 Ramtuff04-14-2007, 11:24Hmmm, I wonder which dates are right. I found the info on the Mid-Atlantic Arms Collectors website. MAAC (http://www.maacpsse.com/maac.html) I'll shoot them an e-mail and find out for sure. Ramtuff04-14-2007, 17:37Ok, I just heard back from MAAC and they said that the May dates are correct. paccw05-05-2007, 17:20So did you ever go? It's the same show they use to call "the old Builder Square" building. The new name threw me off.I heard the building was sold to a group of doctors who would turn it into offices. The show wasn't bad,a few good deals.I walked out empty handed.:sad: Ramtuff05-05-2007, 23:05Nope, I didn't go...yet. It's the 19th and 20th of this month. ;) I do plan on going though as it'll only take me 15-20 minutes to get there. paccw05-06-2007, 03:46Your right this one was call the Allentown show I forgot. Ramtuff05-06-2007, 09:24I thought about going to the Allentown show this weekend, but decided to pass on it. I just had way too much to do around the house, and I had read on another board that it's not that great of a show...mostly older rifles and whatnot...so I'll check out the Reading show since it's close and then Valley Forge is next month. Ramtuff05-19-2007, 16:41I went bright an early this morning. I wasn't too impressed with the show. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Handgun selection wasn't the best, and everything I looked at was overpriced (such as a used 3rd gen G19 for $499...you can buy it new for that price). Rifle wise, decent selection and prices weren't too crazy...no real deals, but most stuff was priced fairly. I came home with a DPMS lower parts kit, Magpul trigger guard, a light and laser (both pressure pad activated) for an AR I'm building. Also picked up a couple holsters for my G26. I didn't get a deal on anything, but the prices on what I bought was inline with what I've seen on-line, and I didn't have to pay for shipping costs. paccw05-19-2007, 16:58I just lost the fuel pump in my work truck and the transmission is slipping. SO no guns for me this month since I already spent $1,000 and the trans still needs work. Ramtuff05-20-2007, 20:29That sucks. FixedSights05-21-2007, 19:48The Allentown show is much better than the Reading show. They just brought the Reading show back so it'll take a while before it builds up in size. I heard that a lot of dealers are playing the waiting game with that show. DeadMansLife06-07-2007, 20:39Mid-Atlantic Arms Collectors Show In my experience, it should be named "Mid-Atlantic Flee Market Show vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

He saw me crying and came over, put his arm around me and said "whats wrong? Did I do something?" I told him, calmly, why I was upset and he said "I never mean to hurt your feelings, I'm sorry" And when I pointed out everything I was juggling he said yeah, I can see how you couldn't just ignore them to get the kitchen cleaned up. I get it"
Sigh. He had to go and be PERFECT in fixing it. Now I'm all smooshy instead of annoyed. AND he's cooking dinner. What's a woman to do with all THAT awesomeness?

I ordered the defrost timer and then read a couple of repair history stories. The timer was fairly easy to install. Then I advanced the small knob until I felt a "click". The covers were reinstalled inside the freezer. And the appliance is normal. Plug and Play. I learned that the timer is for the activation of a heater in or under the freezer"s aluminum fin assembly. Alot of folks don"t know that a refrigerator gets it"s supply of cold air from the freezing compartment. Everybody is happy. Thanks

Statistical Evidence and Use of Race-Codes Confirms Policy of Racial Discrimination at Macy's Nationwide.
In 2002, Macy's Herald Square security apprehended approximately 1,600 individuals for alleged shoplifting. 92% were Black, Hispanic, Asian and other people of color and only 8% were White.
Class-Action Lawsuit Expanded to Include Macy's Stores Across the Country and
Federated Executives Request for Monetary Damages Increased to $500 Million
NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Late yesterday in Federal district court in lower Manhattan, lawyers for Sharon Simmons-Thomas, a Manhattan legal secretary, filed an amended, nationwide class-action complaint against Macy's and its parent company, Federated Department Stores Inc. Last Christmas season, Ms. Simmons-Thomas was detained and wrongfully accused of shoplifting at Macy's flagship Herald Square Store because of the color of her skin.
The expanded complaint, following an initial suit filed on May 20th, is based on a series of new evidence showing a coordinated policy of Macy's targeting non-white customers for shoplifting. Moreover, Macy's policy included a revenue-generating scheme wherein security staff demanded in-store monetary payments from people of color wrongfully accused of shoplifting -- in exchange for dropping the false allegations.
"This new evidence shows that what happened to Ms. Thomas is not an isolated incident, but rather is part of a larger and very disturbing pattern that extends across the country. Not only does Macy's have a national policy of targeting people of color for shoplifting, it regularly pressures security guards to shakedown the wrongfully accused for money as part of a shameful profit-padding scheme," said Ken Thompson, lead attorney for the class and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who prosecuted the police officers responsible for violating Abner Louima's civil rights.
"This filing of this lawsuit has the goal of finally bringing an end to the all too common practice of suspecting people of shoplifting simply based on the color of their skin," said Thompson.
The expanded suit now includes Macy's stores in every region of the country as well as Federated CEO Terry J. Lundgren and General Counsel Dennis J. Broderick. The highest-ranking security officials at the Macy's East and Macy's West subsidiaries are now also named as defendants in the class-action suit.
New statistical evidence paints a horrific picture of racial profiling, not only at the Herald Square Store, but also in other stores, including Macy's Boston, MA; Plantation, FL; Nassau County, New York and White Plains, New York. This information exposes a dramatic disparity -- in excess of 90% in a number of stores -- between the number of white and non-white customers accused of shoplifting, as well as additional ongoing discriminatory behavior by Macy's and Federated including:
-- Targeting people of color to be personally followed by security staff and using "race codes" to identify African-Americans when they enter Macy's stores; -- Tolerating the use of racially derogatory comments by security managers, including referring to African-American shoppers as "Monkeys"; -- Imposing actual "quotas" for the number of shoplifting cases that security personnel are required to make; -- Using threats of sustained detainment (sometimes handcuffed or confined to holding cells) or criminal prosecution to demand in-store monetary payments from people of color falsely accused of shoplifting, thereby increasing Macy's profits; -- Using threats of sustained detainment (sometimes handcuffed or confined to holding cells) or criminal prosecution to coerce false confessions; and -- Targeting "Urban Wear" sections of Macy's stores.
The new complaint also details the story of two young Hispanic women who were falsely accused, detained and handcuffed for two hours in Macy's Herald Square Store. Like Ms. Simmons-Thomas, these two young women were eventually released and ultimately not charged with shoplifting, yet Macy's deprived them of property that they had lawfully purchased in the store and threatened them with legal action if they didn't pay over four hundred dollars to Macy's.
"Since I have spoken out, others have now come forward and shared similar horror stories about racial discrimination and abusive practices at Herald Square, and I feel confident Macy's and Federated will soon be held accountable for their actions," said Ms. Simmons-Thomas, who came forward two-weeks ago with her own story.
The new, amended class-action complaint, which now asks for an award of no less than $500 million in punitive and compensatory damages for the nationwide class, also accuses Macy's and Federated of a calculated effort to disguise their official discriminatory practices by hiring non-whites as their most visible security staffers.
"Macy's senior management has attempted to hide its racially-discriminatory policies by hiring non-white security staff on sales floors, but this transparent attempt at window-dressing cannot disguise that Macy's targets people of color for shoplifting," said Mr. Thompson.
Other shoppers who feel they have suffered discriminatory treatment should contact the law of firm of Thompson Wigdor and Gilly to inquire about joining the class-action.

Bioplus works like a miracle. I take only 2 medicine measures in the morning but not on weekends.People at work say that it is not good for my health and they developed problems with their kidneys and liver after using Bioplus. Is there any truth in this?Is there anything else similar to Bioplus that you can recommend?Thanks for your time. More: All ExpertsCyberDoc Expert's Reply A.CyberDoc Dear OogiesBioplus just contains high levels of caffeiene which can have as side effects:nervousness, irritability, anxiety, muscle twitching, sleeplessness headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, drowsiness, dry mouth, flushed dry skin, need to go to the toilet often, loss of appetite, nausea, stomachaches and heart palpitations.No there is not something similar I can recommend. 10 ml Bioplus contains 180 mg caffeine, about the equivalent of two cups of strong coffee. If you don't drink lots of coffee or tea or caffeiene drinks during the day, this should be ok. The information provided does not constitute a diagnosis of your condition.

text: Somebody gave me one of those cheapo Chinese cobs a while back (who wasn't a pipe smoker), and I must say it is vastly inferior to the Missouri Meerschaum. If yours is anything like that one (that I've never smoked), I'd say it would color rather quickly, since it seems to be little more than a plain corncob with a hole in it. Missouri Meerschaum cobs are coated with a plaster of some sort, but they do color quite a bit. I seen some pictures posted of cobs that are almost black.

After months and months and months of casting rumors, True Detective has rounded out its cast. And check it out! They found some women in Hollywood! »
True Detective won't be as "dark" next season, which probably means the show won't be as good and we won't be breaking our collective necks to catch it on an already-over scheduled Sunday night. »
So much for giving this upcoming season to the women. True Detective season 2 is becoming Colin Farrell's Emmy campaign. »
Taylor Kitsch had a very strong negative reaction when Vulture asked whether he'd consider reprising his role as Tim Riggins — fullback of our hearts — for a hypothetical Friday Night Lights movie. »
Breaking news! Taylor Kitsch (a.k.a Tim Riggins, a.k.a 33, a.k.a hummina hummina awooooooooga!) has gone blonde for his role in Ryan Murphy's HBO movie The Normal Heart (based on the Larry Kramer play of the same name). Obviously, we know what Kitsch's hair looks like at its best, but this is pretty alright, too. »
Remember how you marathoned all those episodes of Friday Night Lights awhile back and became a little obsessed with Tim Riggins? And maybe — just maybe — that obsession began to take over all of your waking and sleeping moments? Well, Parenthood's Mae Whitman can certainly relate (stars are just like us). Turns out… »

First up, and likely most visible, is the long-awaited reunion of pianist Keith Jarrett and his legendary European Quartet with Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen. Mai D'Hong represents a new and unusual direction for Jarrett, as he explores the use of oriental instruments to reinterpret material from the Great American Songbook. Garbarek is heard on the sheng, an ancient multi-reed instrument; bassist Palle Danielsson introduces the three-stringed rabbab, a fretless instrument notable for its self-accompanying capability; finally Jon Christensen is heard exclusively on the Tam-Tam, a large gong. Jarrett says, I have long been interested in the sonic potential of marrying the piano with ancient oriental instruments, but in a way that is more current. The Great American Songbook has been done to death with traditional instruments; now is the time to introduce a new aural experience, married with my penchant for traditionalism." Jarrett also plans to release an album of alternate takes titled Mai Thong.
After a hiatus of twenty years guitarist John Abercrombie reunites with keyboardist Jan Hammer and drummer Jack DeJohnette for Thymeless, an album of Simon and Garfunkel covers. Simon and Garfunkel created music not only for its time," says Abercrombie, but ahead of its time and possibly even behind its time." Abercrombie and his trio tackle such timeless gems as Feelin' Groovy," The Boxer," Peggy-O," and, of course, Scarborough Fair."
With no new releases since 1999, Garbarek fans will be happy to hear that not only has he recorded the Jarrett reunion, but also a new recording with The Hilliard Ensemble titled Pliocene. On this album, Garbarek, heard only on a wooden log, accompanies the Ensemble faithfully recreating prehistoric cave chants. We wanted to go back to prehistory, to examine the real roots of chant," explains Garbarek. Long before the monophony of ancient Greek music, early man created their own form of plainchant; recently recovered documents show a primitive notation which I have carefully studied and transcribed into more modern musical form."
Finally, nujazz trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer returns to the ECM fold with C'Mere. Unlike his most recent albums, which make extensive use of samples, loops and drum boxes, Molvaer returns to his roots with an album of creative music using only childhood instruments including ukulele, toy piano, xylophone and kazoo. I just don't think that anyone has ever really explored the full range of these instruments," says an unusually excited Molvaer. Thanks to Manfred Eicher I've been able to realize my dream, exploring the outer reaches of improvised music using naive instruments with limitations that are, actually, quite deceptive." Not wanting to leave his nujazz work completely behind, Molvaer will offer Stolid Either, a remix album, in the early fall.

Since I'll be without internet for the next 8 days (I know, crazy, right?) I've been carefully stockpiling my hard drive with enough music to survive the harsh conditions sans DJBooth. Thankfully The ILLZ has another record to add to his resume, and my collection, with an In Between Us (Remix). While ILLZ has the ability to throw down on some harder songs (if you haven't checked Cover Me yet, do yourself a favor and take a listen), here he takes time to slow things down. It's nothing less than impressive in the way he switches his game up, this time over a somber melody produced by Daughter Darling. This is the first of a four part story in collaboration with Kristopher Rey-Talley based around his full length release of his The Pursuit LP. I don't see any slowing down for the talented unsigned emcee, and if you feel the same keep a lookout for more from ILLZ here at the Booth.

- The Veterans Affairs Department is struggling to provide adequate health care to female veterans
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The Associated Press finds nearly one in four
VA hospitals does not have a fulltime gynecologist on staff. Since 2008, the
department has spent $1.3 billion on ramping up women's health care. But officials
admit they need to do more for the nearly 400,000 female patients the department
sees each year. That number is more than double what the VA saw before the recent
wars. Many female patients are of child-bearing age. (Associated Press)
- The new Health and Human Services Secretary is revamping oversight of HealthCare.gov to
prevent mishaps during this fall's open insurance enrollment season. Sylvia
Burwell has appointed a high-level operations manager. Andy Slavitt is a vice
president of the health tech firm Optum. One of its subsidiaries built the one
part of the health exchange portal that worked well upon launch last October.
Slavitt will oversee preparations for open season, as well as operational issues
involving Medicare, Medicaid and other major programs. Burwell plans to name a CEO
and technology leader soon. (Associated Press)
- She's been running the Social Security Administration for nearly 1 1/2 years.
Now President Barack Obama nominates Carolyn Colvin as commissioner. No
newcomer to the agency, Colvin became acting commissioner when Michael Astrue left
in February of last year after completing his six-year term. She was confirmed as
deputy commissioner in 2010. Colvin has had several stints in executive jobs at
Social Security dating back to the mid 1990s. She's also been the director of
Human Services for the District of Columbia and director of Health and Human
Services for Montgomery County, Maryland. Earlier, Colvin was secretary of
Maryland's Department of Human Resources. (Associated Press)
- An IRS hearing descends into partisan spear-throwing. Commissioner John
Koskinen refuses to apologize for the loss of emails from seven IRS computers said
to have crashed. House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told Koskinen no one
believes his explanations. The missing emails concern how the IRS treated
conservative groups applying for tax exempt status. Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) calls for a special prosecutor to investigate the
IRS. Koskinen calls that a monumental waste of taxpayer funds. (Associated
- IRS Commissioner John Koskinen appears again this evening before Congress to
explain how the agency lost emails that Republicans say are critical to an
investigation of the IRS' tax-exempt division. House Oversight Committee Chairman
Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) says he wants to understand the agency's email systems,
data-retention policies and document-production processes. In advance, he has
asked 15
pointed questions about the computer system crash that the IRS says wiped out
the emails. Issa asks for trouble tickets, logs and other records that would
indicate how the agency tried to recover the emails. The committee has called on a
White House lawyer, Jennifer O'Connor, to testify Tuesday. For six months last
year, O'Connor served as counselor to the IRS commissioner. Her primary task was
to help the agency comply with Congressional investigations into the tax-exempt
division's treatment of conservative groups. U.S. Archivist David Ferriero has
also been invited to speak at that hearing. (House)
- Cybersecurity, biological threats and the scattering of terrorist groups top
the Homeland Security Department's list of challenges. In its second four-year review, just out, DHS officials say the United
States is entering a new era in homeland security. Secretary Jeh Johnson says it's
impossible to know exactly what will happen and when. So the department is moving
towards a risk management approach and using what the quadrennial review calls a
systems analysis approach to understanding future threats. But the ultimate goal
hasn't changed: building a safe, secure and resilient nation. (Homeland
Security Department)
- The military is considering opening up its discount shopping website to all veterans who served
honorably. Army and Air Force Exchange Service Director Tom Shull says the change
could impact 20 million veterans and bring a much-needed infusion of cash to the
Army and Air Force. The Defense Department must weigh the pros against the
possible cons for current patrons, local businesses, tax collections and the
department itself. For now, only current service members and veterans who have
served more than 20 years can shop the website. They can find discounts of 25
percent or more on brands like Michael Kors, Under Armour and Levi's. In addition,
shoppers do not pay state sales tax. (Associated Press)
- A joint forces test shows it's possible to intercept an intermediate range missile launched from far out at sea with another projectile
launched from U.S. soil. The test was led by the Missile Defense Agency. The Army
launched a missile from the Reagan Test Site in the Marshall Islands. A Navy
destroyer was able to detect it and relay information about where it was headed.
Six minutes later, the interceptor was launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base.
The interceptor, also called the kill vehicle, was able to take out the missile
without an explosion, just using the force of its motion and weight. The knockout
took place in space. Missile Defense Commander Admiral Jim Syring calls the
exercise an important step in improving national security. (Defense Department)

Ennis Things to Do
Now when was the last time you went to a current move for $5.00? That's right it is only $5 to go to the movies. The theater is older and everyone in there knew each other... well almost. So it was fun to watch them greet each other as they found seats. The pop, popcorn, and candy were a reasonable price.
Show times is at 7pm. During the summer they are open 6 nights a week. After school starts there is only shows on Thurs., Friday, and Saturday.

I stopped in here for a bite to eat and a beer before headed for the movie. They have a quaint restaurant in the back. The walls were covered with pictures done by little ones who had visited there.
They make homemade desserts. Take the time to indulge.
The beer was not expensive. I had dessert and a beer for $6.75, not bad.

Acquisition workers as critical thinkers: A change that has to happen
In Federal News Radio's special report, Missing Pieces of Procurement Reform, the Defense Acquisition University, the Federal Acquisition Institute and other experts say a new kind of acquisition worker is needed. One that brings business acumen, understands technology and knows the FAR forward and back. The ever-evolving training regime for federal acquisition workers is no longer just about the hard skills of acquisition.

Analysis: Defense acquisition should consider Congress, lobbyists as stakeholders
The Defense Acquisition University Alumni Association hosted a special forum last week on the role of the congressional staff and lobbyists in the defense acquisition process. Bill Bahnmaier, the president of the association, told In Depth with Francis Rose the way the roles interrelate is often obscured because there's rarely a "direct link" between them.

New to Django so could be totally wrong in my methodology.
I have a block of complex HTML that I reuse in several parts of my site, but populated with different data. I want to turn this into a block I can put anywhere.
I read up on inclusion tags and defined it like this:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
def release_widget(releases):
return {'release_list': releases}
Then when I use it in my templates:
{% load release_widget %}
{% release_widget release_list %}
This works. My issue is that inside the release_widget.html file I lose access to my
MEDIA_URL variable which defines where to find my image assets. I assume this is because the context isn't being passed through?
I looked at the
takes_context=True parameter but couldn't figure it out - it looks like this doesn't take a variable anymore, which doesn't work for me - I need to be able to pass a different dictionary each time I include the block.
Is there a better way of doing this? Should I even be using
MEDIA_URL at all? I can't just use absolute paths as my site structure is like site.com/article/something/123 and assets are in site.com/assets/ and I don't want
../ everywhere.
thanks, Matt

The Protestant Ascendancy, usually known in Ireland simply as the Ascendancy, is a phrase used when referring to the political, economic, and social domination of Ireland by a minority of great landowners, Protestant clergy, and members of the professions, all members of the Established Church (the Church of Ireland and Church of England, both being the State Churches) between the 17th century and the early 20th century. The Ascendancy is widely seen as excluding primarily Roman Catholics, the majority of the Irish population within the whole island of Ireland, but this can be misleading, as members of the Presbyterian and other Protestant denominations, along with non-Christians such as the Jews, were also excluded politically and socially. Until the Reform Acts even the majority of Irish Protestants were effectively excluded from the Ascendancy, being too poor to vote. In general, the privileges of the Ascendancy were resented by Irish Catholics, who remained the majority of the population.
The phrase was first used in passing by Sir Boyle Roche in a speech to the Irish House of Commons on 20 February 1782.[1] George Ogle MP used it on 6 February 1786 in a debate on falling land values:
Then on 20 January 1792 Dublin Corporation approved by majority vote a resolution to George III that included:
The Corporation's resolution was a part of the debate over Catholic Emancipation. In the event, Catholics were allowed to vote again in 1793, but could not sit in parliament until 1829.
The phrase therefore was seen to apply across classes to rural landowners as well as city merchants. The Dublin resolution was disapproved of by a wide range of commentators, such as the Marquess of Abercorn, who called it "silly", and William Drennan who said it was "actuated by the most monopolising spirit".[3]
The phrase became popularised outside Ireland by Edmund Burke, another liberal Protestant, and his ironic comment in 1792 was then used by Catholics seeking further political reforms:
From the 1790s the phrase became used by the main two identities in Ireland:
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2008)
The gradual dispossession of large holdings belonging to several hundred native landowners in Ireland took place in various stages from the reigns of the Roman Catholic Queen Mary and her Protestant half-sister Elizabeth I onwards. Unsuccessful revolts against English rule in 1595–1603 and 1641–1653 and then the 1689-91 Williamite Wars caused much Irish land to be confiscated by the Crown, and then sold to people who were thought loyal, most of whom were English and Protestant. English soldiers and traders became the new ruling class, as its richer members were elevated to the Irish House of Lords and eventually controlled the Irish House of Commons (see Plantations of Ireland).
This process was facilitated and formalized in the legal system after 1691 by the passing of various Penal Laws, which discriminated against the property rights of the leading families of the majority Roman Catholic population, and the non-conforming ("Dissenter") Protestant denominations such as Presbyterians, where they :
However, those protected by the Treaty were still excluded from public political life.
The situation was confused by the policy of the Tory party in England and Ireland after 1688. They were Protestants who generally supported the Catholic Jacobite claim, and came to power briefly in London in 1710-14. Also in 1750 the main Catholic Jacobite heir and claimant to the three thrones, Charles Edward Stuart ("Bonny Prince Charlie"), converted to Anglicanism for a time, but had reverted to Roman Catholicism again by his father's death in 1766.
The son of James VII, James Francis Edward Stuart (the Old Pretender), was recognised by the Holy See as the legitimate monarch of the Kingdom of England, Kingdom of Scotland, and the separate Kingdom of Ireland until his death in January 1766, and Roman Catholics were morally obliged to support him. This provided the main political excuse for the new laws, but it was not entirely exclusive as there was no law against anyone converting to Protestantism. Thousands did so, as recorded on the "Convert Rolls", and this allowed for the successful careers of Irishmen such as that of William Conolly, but the majority decided not to convert.
From 1766 onwards the Papacy did not object to the fact of an established Anglican church, as Roman Catholicism was the established church in countries such as Spain until 1931 and Austria until 1918. It did, however, push for reforms allowing equality within the system.
Among the forms of discrimination faced by Roman Catholics and Protestant Dissenters under the Penal Laws were:
As a result, political, legal, and economic power resided with the Ascendancy to the extent that by the mid-eighteenth century, though a small fraction of the population, 95% of the land of Ireland was calculated to be under minority Protestant control. Some 9% of this land belonged to formerly-Catholic landlords who had converted to the state religion.
Reform, though not complete, came in three main stages and was effected over 50 years:
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2008)
The confidence of the Ascendancy was manifested towards the end of the 18th century by its adoption of a nationalist Irish, though still exclusively Protestant, identity, and the formation in the 1770s of Henry Grattan's Patriot Party. The formation of the Irish Volunteers to defend Ireland from French invasion during the American Revolution effectively gave Grattan a military force, and he was able to force Britain to concede a greater amount of self-rule to the Ascendancy.
The parliament repealed most of the Penal Laws in 1771–1793 but did not abolish them entirely. Grattan sought Catholic Emancipation for the catholic middle classes from the 1780s, but could not persuade a majority of the Irish MPs to support him. Following the forced recall of the liberal Lord Fitzwilliam in 1795 by conservatives, parliament was effectively abandoned as a vehicle for change, giving rise to the United Irishmen - liberal elements across religious, ethnic, and class lines who began to plan for armed rebellion. The resulting and often Protestant-led rebellion was crushed with vicious brutality; the Act of Union of 1801 was passed partly in response to a perception that the bloodshed was provoked by the misrule of the Ascendancy, and partly from the expense involved.
In the opinion of professional historians, the Ascendancy ended with the closing of the Dublin parliament in 1801, but it became a convenient expression to denote areas of life where a small minority of Church of Ireland members still had unique legal advantages, such as sitting in the London parliament (until 1829) or the tithe support for their church which was levied on most landowners.
The abolition of the Irish Parliament was followed by economic decline in Ireland, and widespread emigration from among the ruling class to the new centre of power in London, which increased the number of absentee landlords. The reduction of legalized discrimination with the passage of Catholic Emancipation in 1829 meant that the Ascendancy now faced competition from prosperous Catholics in parliament and in the higher-level professional ranks such as the judiciary and the army that were needed in the growing British Empire. From 1840 corporations running towns and cities in Ireland became more democratically elected; previously they were dominated until 1793 by guild members who had to be Protestants.
The festering sense of native grievance was magnified by the horrors of the Great Irish Famine of 1845-52, with many of the Ascendancy reviled as absentee landlords whose agents were shipping locally produced food overseas, protected by the British establishment, while much of the population starved. Ireland remained a net exporter of food throughout most of the famine. About 20% to 25% of the population died or emigrated. The Encumbered Estates Act of 1849 was passed to allow landlords to sell mortgaged land, where a sale would be restricted because the land was "entailed". Many landlords went bankrupt as their tenants could not pay any rent due to the famine.[6] Some 5,000,000 over-mortgaged acres were sold to new landlords by 1857, some of whom were Catholic merchants. This represents a quarter of the entire land area of Ireland, which is just over 20 million acres (81,000 km2). One example was the Browne family which lost over 50,000 acres (200 km2) in County Mayo.[7]
As a consequence, the remnants of the Ascendancy were gradually displaced during the 19th and early 20th centuries through impoverishment, bankruptcy, the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland by the Irish Church Act 1869, and finally the Irish Land Acts, which legally allowed the sitting tenants to buy their land. Some typical "Ascendancy" land-owning families like the Marquess of Headfort and the Earl of Granard had by then converted to Catholicism, and a considerable number of Protestant Nationalists had already taken their part in Irish history. A survey of the 4,000 largest landlords in 1872 revealed that already 43% were Roman Catholics, 48% were Church of Ireland, 7% were Presbyterians, and 2% unknown.[8]
Arguably the term "Protestant Ascendancy" was used from 1879-90 in the Land War and the Plan of Campaign as an emotive term in what was really an economic dispute. The government-sponsored Land Commission then bought up a further 13 million acres (53,000 km2) of farmland between 1885 and 1920 where the freehold was assigned under mortgage to tenant farmers and farm workers. Given the violent aspects of the Land war most remaining landowners were glad to sell up unless they were active farmers.
With the Protestant yeoman class now driven out by a newly rising "Catholic Ascendancy",[9] the dozens of remaining Protestant large landowners were left isolated within the Catholic population without the benefit of the legal and social conventions once used to prop them up. Local government was democratised by the Act of 1898, passing many local powers to councillors who were usually supportive of nationalism. Formerly landlords had controlled the grand jury system, where membership was based on being a large ratepayer, and therefore from owning large amounts of land locally. The final phase of the decline of the Ascendancy occurred during the Anglo-Irish War, when some of the remaining Protestant landlords were either assassinated and/or had their country homes burned down by the Irish Republican Army.[citation needed][original research?] Nearly 300 stately homes of the old landed class were burned down, tenants who remained loyal to the landowners and many of whom collaborated with the British were killed, and Protestant landlords were assassinated. The campaign was stepped up by the Anti-Treaty IRA during the subsequent Irish Civil War (1922–23), who targeted some remaining wealthy and influential Protestants who had accepted nominations as Senators in the new Seanad of the Irish Free State.[citation needed]
The Irish Free State earned semi-autonomy as a dominion within the British Empire in December 1922, while the British Government had already, in 1920, partitioned Northern Ireland from the rest of Ireland. The Parliament of Northern Ireland voted to remain within the United Kingdom in 1922. There, the newly elected ruling class included many of the Protestant landed gentry, despite the area having an industrial economy. This gave the term 'ascendancy' a continuing role well into the twentieth century. The remainder of Ireland gained complete independence in 1949 as the Republic of Ireland.
Long before the independence of most of Ireland in 1922, the formerly-landed Ascendancy had lost any real political influence and those who remained comprised a small, isolated, landed minority in their own land; most supported the Irish Unionist Alliance though some were Protestant Nationalists.[10] By now their involvement had passed to literary and artistic matters, with Lady Gregory and William Butler Yeats starting the influential Celtic Revival movement, and followed by authors such as Somerville and Ross, Hubert Butler and Elizabeth Bowen. Ballerina Dame Ninette de Valois, Nobel prize-winning author Samuel Beckett[11] and the artist Sir William Orpen came from the same social background. Chris de Burgh and the rock concert promoter Lord Conyngham (formerly Lord Mount Charles) are high-profile descendants of the Ascendancy in Ireland today.
Their later role was portrayed in the 1980s book "Twilight of the Ascendancy" by Mark Bence-Jones.[12]

Wrestling with God
Not everyone's happy with God's forgiveness.
When I preached on these three readings years ago while in residence at our cathedral, I got lots of feedback -- little of it positive. One man, for instance, came up after the Eucharist and angrily informed me, "I didn't like that sermon about forgiveness at all." Then, whirling around as he was going out the door, he yelled, "Thank God my two teenage boys didn't hear that [expletive]! If they had, I'd never be able to control them again!"

Though, there's still some time for 'Avengers 2- Age of Ultron', reports about characters, story-lines and most notably the costumes of lead characters are doing the rounds. While Magneto's twin kids, Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) and Quicksilver (Peter Magnus) join the Avengers team, their first look has been revealed from the second unit of shooting in Johhanesburg.
It is expected that they will receive their official Avengers uniform soon.
Also, there will be a slight change in Hulk's armour as well in the film and he may clash with the team more often, adding a lot of excitement and action!

Letters to the Editor (March 6)
Warren Moeller, Wichita Falls
Obama and his lemmings
A true hallmark of Americanism, encouraging and recognizing personal achievement and success, is now being demonized and vilified (class warfare) by Obama, all in the guise of "fairness."
Individual initiative and freedom of choice are seen as an enemy of "the social good" by Obama and his lemmings in the statist enthusiasms.
Property rights were ignored in the auto bailout in order to court the United Auto Workers and other unions; the Constitution was ignored in the controversial "recess" appointments; the First Amendment has been violated to further restrict human freedom; selective prosecution by the Justice Department has racial overtones.
Rather than rely on individual initiative, the Obama Administration tried to foster a business that the free market would not support (Solyndra)--a matter of freedom of choice.
We are told what light bulbs to use, the size of our toilets, what car you should drive, what food we can feed our children, etc.
Those of us who pulled ourselves up "by the bootstraps" would currently be thwarted or demonized at every turn by federal intervention. I have a friend who has been trying to start his own business — an American dream — but he has had regulatory obstacles thrown up at almost every decision point.
I think his case is typical rather than unique. Certainly creating jobs and wealth seems, to me, to be in the "social good," but apparently it is not considered so by Obama and other ideologues of the Progressive (Democrat) persuasion.
Louise (Reynolds) Saxton, Wichita Falls
Toot your horn
Sometimes a person needs to toot their horn. I attended the Habitat dinner for their 20th year and 100th home.
I know the executive Dan Gray forgot to mention that 20 years ago (deceased) Brian Ballard and myself, Louise (Reynolds) Saxton, started Habitat on a wing and a prayer. Myself as president, Brian as treasurer.
I believe in Habitat as a hand up, not a hand out, for families that otherwise would not probably ever own a home.
Since a Christian man started Habitat, I felt so honored to be a part. My time was short at the helm due to my health. God bless us all!
