Tailgate Event Kicks Off Sheryl Crow Concert at Kent State's Dix StadiumPosted Aug. 30, 2012
If three fantastic bands, terrific food and wine sampling sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday evening, then join in the fun at a special tailgate party going on before the Centennial Campaign Concert at Kent State University's Dix Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 8. The concert features headliner Sheryl Crow, along with O.A.R. and Los Lonely Boys.
The party is free and open to the public as well as concert ticket holders, taking place in the Kent State University Fieldhouse from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Enjoy food sampling and sales from local vendors, plus wine sampling from four local wineries: Sarah's Vineyard Winery, Viking Vineyards, Maize Valley Winery and Barrel Run Winery.
There will be live musical performances, corn hole games, giveaways and music provided by 98.1 WKDD. Student and community organizations also will be represented.
The concert begins at 6 p.m. with Los Lonely Boys, followed by O.A.R. at 7:30 p.m. and Sheryl Crow at 9 p.m. Chair back seats are sold out, but general admission and field access tickets are still available.

I often worship and preach in a sanctuary without windows. Renaissance Presbyterian Church is an African-American congregation in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They built the structure, brick upon brick, so that it might withstand bombs, shooting, or burning. Stained glass gave way to safety, so when I stand in the pulpit, I always remember where I am.
When I was a young seminarian, I was fascinated with Grace Lee Boggs' life and work. Then, I had a chance to go to an urban ministries conference in Chicago where she spoke and I dutifully took notes.
The Internet loves to disdain the celebrity Christian. If anyone sells too many books, builds too big of a platform, or just gets too big for his or her britches, we like to bring that person down a notch or two. Sometimes it's a triumph for social justice.
Reflecting on the work of Gene Fowler
When we talk about grief, we often speak of it in terms of letting go, moving on, and getting over it. People want to know when they will be back to normal. But the loss of a loved one is not a bump in the road that we go over and then the pavement is smooth again. Grief fundamentally changes who we are.

This venue is closed.
This congenial bar-lounge doesn't overexert itself, relying on a solid beer list and a five-hour happy hour to hook its share of the thirsty East Village throng. Most patrons gather along the sizeable L-shaped bar in front, but there's more than enough seating room on the plush black sofa and the bar stools pulled up to a narrow side wall counter. Votive candles sparkle throughout, adding a much-needed softness to an atmosphere otherwise dominated by a groovy red disco ceiling. The back area is a rotating showcase of local art, like the huge mixed-media creations recently crowding the pool table. The beer list is locally minded: Kelso, Brooklyn Lager and Captain Lawrence are on tap.
Picnics with a view, roller-skating nostalgia, and a party for gay headbangers.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 1296 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ask83 Hotel Stay Our room was very nice, very clean, only negative was the towell bar in the bathroom was very loose. February 21, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Teresa67 Worst hotel stay in my Life The airconditioning in the room was broken for all 4 days of our stay. You had to choose to be either too hot or too cold. The maid service was practically non-existent. They didn't take our trash and didn't leave us clean towels or toilet paper. When you called guest services, no one would answer. February 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mamachap Just OK The hotel was clean and efficient...very large and has very nice restaurant and lounge. Elevators were fast and rooms were clean. However, the rooms were incredibly small for the price, dated furnishings, extremely small bathrooms and shower area and food and drinks were extremely expensive. February 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bob345 Difficult to navigate The rooms are small and walls are thin. Noise from adjacent rooms was very distracting late at night or early in the morning. Hotel is split into 3 towers. Elevators are slow when trying to get to meetings in other towers you have to wait on the elevator twice. Once to go down and then again to go up in a different tower. February 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JodiK The Whole Package Beautiful throughout, rooms are small but well laid out and very functional. Lots of great views of the skyline. Beds and bedding are very comfortable. Shower offered good water pressure and the water was always hot! Plenty of plugs for all your devices and easily accessible. Every thing one needs is in the room. Make sure when you check-in you let them know that you are a preferred Sheraton Member or become one so you have access to Wi-Fi if needed. Great areas for work, computer stations, printer, etc. Food and drinks are pricey in the Draft and Kitchen Table. Service is slow so allow time to dine. Safe in the room came in very handy and easy to use, no extra charge! February 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by silverdog051 Overall Overall my room was very cold with condensation on the windows. I did not use housekeeping on a daily basis to save on water, expenses for the facility, etc... and I did not recive vouchers for the coffee shop when others who did not use housekeepng daily did receive them. Housekeeping was not very through- there was hair on the shower-before i had even used it. Otherwise it was fine- the pillows are AWESOME- by far the best hotel pillow February 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Charles88 GREAT staff. Just a few issues with hotel. Staff was absolutely fantastic. The hotel itself is loud. You can hear too much of what is going on in adjoining rooms and other floors. The coffee made in mass for the meetings is terrible. No other way to describe it. Please switch brands or brewing process. February 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Girliefromkc Can't believe that I paid that much.... The previous time I stayed here, I paid alot less for a bigger room and a beautiful view. This time I had a crappy view, and no wifi in my room unless I was in the lobby. I called down stairs and asked why I couldn't obtain wifi and she said it was $14.99 or almost $15.00 more on top of the $240.00 I already paid for a one night stay. All that money and no wifi??? Come on now...who wants to travel several hours and be stuck in the lobby checking message intead of doing it from a comfy bed? Then I found some genital hair in my tub that the urge to take a shower went away. This is a beautiful hotel but it's over way priced ! February 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jakjen35 Outstanding services but Small Bathroom This is the third time for us to stay at this hotel. It is always very clean and outstanding service. Every one is always friendly and very professional. But this time the room we stayed in had the smallest Bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel in my life!... It was clean but the layout and the size was ridiculous and very cumbersome to maneuver in. It was as though a Small closet had been converted to a Bathroom. I was not impressed nor too happy with that feature at all. February 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by RJM50 TV ruined the overall experience Bedroom TV would not work. In the grand scheme of life -not a big deal. But in a hotel room for 3 nights, it becomes a big deal. Other than this issue, a good experience. Kudos to Ron in the Club room. February 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JonathanDC1 Tiny Bathroom (S-2321) The bathroom was unbelievably small. The toilet seat would not stay up. You cannot turn around in the shower without the shower curtains touching you which personally grosses me out. February 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by 12hank Maid service The maids never left enough towels and the bathroom was dirty. The pipes girgled and sink didn't drain. February 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by jrg2013 Dissapointed Not impressed. Room was dirty with electrical cords and cables strung across the wall. Loose tile and faucet bathroom and the thermostat needed serviced. The combination TV stand/desk was not very functional as either. Overall no attention details and excellence that I would expect from a hotel in this price range. February 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by JCUE Hotel Needs Improvements Attending with a large corporate team, the hotel was not set up to effeciently handle check in (long lines), heating units in rooms were not functioning and the engineering staff did a poor job of taking care of the situation. The food for the meetings was the worst I have ever experienced. Fitness center equipment not working properly. Terrible experience. February 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Notahappycustomer Not worth it Completely unorganized... At first check in, there was still another occupants' luggage in my assigned room, no hot water, & when I attempted to set up a wake up call, nobody answered. February 14, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Attendee This hotel should not book conventions I attend three to four conventions a year and have never had a property that I stayed at be so ill prepared to handle the reservations that they new in advance that would be staying with them. Was understaffed in every area and particuarly in the restaurants. Had to order pizza or find other venues to get food as the restaurants were either closed or wall to wall people, one comment from the staff was the kitchen could not keep up. Also when we walked to our room on the18th floor the hall was FILTHY and needed to be vacuumed I called down and it was a full day and a half before it happened. I have two positive comments Peets handled their long lines amazingly with great Product, attitude and service. The beds and bedding were both very comfortable. We even went to settle our account late Saturday night while their was a short line and explained to the employee at the desk that thier would indeed be a long line in the A.M. She informed us their would be NO LINE in the A.M as thier had been a line all day. Low and behold in the morning when we left the LINE was MASSIVE. REALLY???? February 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by J9275 Bad service We asked for a rollaway bed. Never showed up. Finally got one the following day. One night room service lost our order. Took us an hour and a half to get food. Next night the food was on time but came covered in hair. February 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by VG214 Dissappointed No one was at the SPG when I checked in, I asked for Club access and was told it was $50 a day and I was paying the same rate as the club rate. I called down from room on three different occassions and tried 3 different lines and never got an answer. The phone just rang and rang. The hotel was totally unpreparred for the Rodan + Fields group. When checking out again no one at the SPG desk. My experience was not good at all. I would never return to this hotel. February 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by camper1 I would never go back We had problems from over 30 minutes to deliver our beverages to our table, to room service over charges to LONG lines, LONG waits to speak with a manager and to top it off, reviewing my credit card bill upon arriving home they overcharged me from the final ZEROED OUT STATEMENT!!!! February 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Danzier1989 The worst Sheraton I have even stayed at This place doesn't have stairways on the first floor: the stairs start on the second floor. Which was weird. There was no wash cloths in the bathroom. So we used the hand towels to wash our faces on our first night. The next morning, we found out that there was no shampoo or soap (just lotion & conditioner). February 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jill22 Not a great experience Overall experience was terrible. Staff was rude, housekeeping never responded to requests that were made multiple times leaving us with no towels, no coffee and frustrated with the lack of respect as a guest to even respond to a simple request. The room was dusty and dirty, found an ant on our bed, ran out of toilet paper, and hair in our beds upon arrival. The room was spacious which was nice and that's about it. February 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by KLJH Bad Experience I stayed at the Dallas Sharaton on Olive street for three nights. I was in town for the Rodan and Fields convention. The following issues occurred during our stay: 1) one set of towels for double occupancy (we requested two additional towels) 2) No shower gel in bathroom (we requested it and it was sent to our room) 3) No answer when dialing room service or guest services or the operator. Endless ringing and no recorded messages. This occurred every day and evening of our stay. 4) Inadequate staffing in sports bar during lunch - 45 minute wait for our food. On a positive note - the concierge and registration process was efficient and the employees were nice and professional. Message to Hotel Management: I would suggest that if you know you are hosting a large group of guests during a convention that you staff appropriately- particularly the phone staff. Endless ringing is not acceptable and we even called from an outside line (using our cell phones) to try to get someone to pick up at guest services and room service. February 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Maryannb Never Again My husband and I will NEVER stay at your hotel again. Although your staff was very kind, the room was not cleaned well, 1 trash can for a suite, no refrigerator. We did order a small refrigerator for $20.00 and it leaked. The food at every restaurant AND room service was awful. Thank you. February 11, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Susie12 Horrible Service We were there for a business conference & the service in Restaurant was horrible.The first day they forgot to leave us washcloths.. No one cleaned our room the second day so we had no towels or washcloths. We called & it took 3 hours after 2 phone calls. We were late for the Gala!! My worst ever for a Sheridan!!! I have never had any complaints in the past at any Sheridan Hotel!!!! They need some HELP!!!! February 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Milo What was liked The rooms were nice and roomy. Bed was comfortable. Did not like not having free WiFi, and service in the common areas. February 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by bwb1 Pros and Cons For the most part the room was clean and comfortable. Light bulbs needed to be replaced. There was a hole over the tub and I felt like I was being watched. I was unable to reach the front desk or room service. The phone just rang and rang. We were unable to get out of the parking garage. We pushed the call button and it just rang and rang. Food in the restaurant was extremely expensive! February 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pandjamom In need of maintenance We had to call maintenance 3 out of the 4 days spent there. February 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by jumbojet won't be coming back waitstaff in lounge rude, no towels were received when requested. 2 people checking out 5000 customers for convention. This hotel was not prepared for our Rodan+fields Convention at all. Customer service was very bad February 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SR11111 Very slow All services were very slow - this is a convention hotel - you should be prepared for large groups. Housekeeping left one towel after cleaning on Friday. When we realized this on Saturday, we called for more. No one ever brought any. Dirty glasses were left in the room after cleaning. February 10, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by TravelsAlot53 Room Great - Can't Handle Capacity Starting with Check in. Excessive wait in preferred guest line. Friendly staff but computer froze. Moved to new line...again super friendly and knowledgeable staff....engaging..] A large convention at the hotel so the other "non-preferred line" had at least 60 people in the queue....place was sold out... Lacking any map check-in staff tried to tell you where the club lounge is located versus your room....different towers so there's that need to inform. made it to the room...without challenges Clock flashing 12:00 with no intuitive instructions on how to fix.....just hit and miss until I got lucky.....these alarms are not the easiest to fix.....20 of the hotel exec's without any education on them should try to adjust them..... Tried making a call to internal numbers....yeah right.....3X at over 2 minutes per call to no avail.....tried all the touch buttons attempting to get directions to fitness center and club lounge.....!!!!! Directory does not state where fitness center or club lounge is located. Elevators listed Fitness Center on 4th floor. Fitness Center is nice but 3 elipticals had audio or touch screen issues. No signage for Club Lounge in elevators for Center Towers or apparent and visible when you get off the elevators on the 27th floor. Staff have to right this down on the key jacket provided at check in. Kitchen Table Service that night - great. No issues untll next eve....Draft Lounge....for dinner and drinks.....food server overlooked me three times to wait on others seated next to me at the high chair tables......really!! Busy place and understaffed.....Texas chili was cold and did not taste good......unusually strong flavor....smokie in excess..... next morning....club lounge.....out of yogurts, muffins and breads.....guy couldn't keep up and probably was waiting on kitchen to send up supplies...... no receipt....maybe Sheraton is e-receipt now....didn't know that so was not what I expected. This is my first write up in over two years in the complaint category......just to let you know my level of tolerance... February 9, 2013

Earlier this week I posted asking if its normal to all of a sudden be afraid of the dark. We've tried a dream light, multiple night lights and leaving his room light on. With the dream light and multiple lights, I guess it wasn't bright enough so he still wanted his room light on. If we leave his room light on he wakes up in the middle of the night, gets out of bed and proceeds to play. The other night he was up from 2-5am and I eventually had to sit in the room to keep him in bed so he'd go to sleep. If I turn his light out after he goes to sleep and just leave the nightlight on, then when he wakes up he starts screaming until we turn the light on. He wakes up several times a night like this. He's sleeping so much worse than my almost 4 mo old. He's acting more cranky and out of control lately and I think it's because he's not getting enough sleep. One day the teachers at daycare even said he was hitting another kid a few days ago, which is unlike him. So, what should I do?
What to do to help sleep?

He said he doesn't like the dark. I don't get any further elaboration on why. He does ok talking, but it's not always understandable so he might not know how to explain more than that.

Or give him a flashlight he can keep by his bed? They make some cool animal shaped ones for kids.
I hope you all get a good nights sleep soon.
Well, the light isn't too light anyway because it's a 3 way light and it's on the lowest setting. Maybe I'll try a scarf, but I'm afraid the material will get too hot from the light, but perhaps we can put a flashlight in his bed with him.

I didn't see your other post, but it's not at all uncommon for toddlers to suddenly develop phobias. My daughter did the same thing a few months ago out of the blue and it killed me!
Does your son have a good bedtime routine to make him clam down and get sleepy? We were getting kind of lax with my daughters and I've noticed that being more regimented with her routine really helps her fall asleep! We do warm milk, brush teeth, bath, snuggle and book reading time in her room with just a lamp on, then bed. She has a nightlight right next to her bed and a projection mobile that plays music or bird/waterfall sounds which really helps her fall asleep. She can turn it on by herself when she wakes up and it gives off enough light to calm her down. (We took off the mobile part and just use the projector now) www.target.com/p/fisher-price-preci...:EverestLoginReview#editInfo
The flashlight is a good idea or maybe you could get him a glow worm stuffed animal thing and tell him that it will keep him safe and protect him from the dark? We did that with my daughters lovey and it seemed to make her feel better.
Good luck!

Baby Boy is finally on the way! Due Feb. 15, 2014! It's about time! Can't wait to meet you Charlie!
Maybe it's a phase for this age? We are going through sort of the same thing with DD right now. She has always been so easy to get to bed and always stayed in bed. Now she takes forever to go down and is getting up several times at night.
She keeps saying there is something scary, even at nap time when it's light in the room. She is afraid to be left alone and even more afraid of being in the dark. She has particularly been afraid of the ceiling fan in her room (which has always been there and hasn't changed in the least.)
I can only speculate that she had a dream and didn't understand that it wasn't real? It all started when she was staying over with her Grandparents. They said it was like she was dreaming/halucinating and took forever to calm down.
Our worst night at home she was up every 2-10 minutes over the course of 2 hours. Last few nights she has gotten better, up 2 or 3 times but briefly.
One thing has helped a little. I took the advice of a co-worker whos Mom used to give her "monster juice" - a squirt bottle of water meant to repel monsters. So I tolder her that her unicorn flashlight and unicorn dreamlight are magic and she can use them to keep away anything scary. I figure the only way to fight an irrational fear is with an irrational solution?
Otherwise we are keeping to the same bedtime routine, we have white noise and/or bedtime music playing, nightlights, and leaving the door open until she's out. Also, I told her the bedtime rules are that she needs to stay in her bed at night, which I remind her again the first time she gets out of bed. After that we do the quiet return to bed routine like Supernanny does with no talking or interaction.
Hopefully we're doing the right thing! I hate that she's scared and hope we aren't being too harsh by making her return to her room.
But we've explained so many times that there's nothing to be scared of, what she thinks is there is pretend, and that Mommy and Daddy are just down the hall and will keep her safe. She always agrees and seems to understand these ideas, until it's time for us to leave her in bed. Then she gets anxious all over again. I just feel like the only way for her to get past her anxiety is to face being scared and learn to cope with it.
But how long will this last?
Jacki (33) & Pete (34) #1 Sophia (4) #2 Coraline
Apple Jacks, sounds like your DD had a night terror! My LO has had a few of those and they're terrifying to watch! My daughter will not wake up from them and she just screams and cries for a long time even though she seems to be awake she acts really weird and I know she's still asleep. I have no control over it, it's awful! But she always seems ok the next day and doesn't remember much. Separation anxiety is normal at this age too, so maybe that's more of what you're dealing with? Just reassure her that you're always going to be there when she wakes up! We have a video monitor and I showed my daughter that mommy is always keeping an eye out and making sure there are no monsters in her room, that seemed to make her feel better...
Good luck! This age can be rough on mommy lol.

It's time to stop training and start winning!
I'm a runner. At least I use to be. I ran 5 marathons and countless 10k's and 5k's back in the day. I remember fondly those hard training runs. Some days I'd run up and down very steep hills over and over again. Others I'd sprint 50 yards, jog 50, sprint 50, jog 50, over and over again for a couple of miles, then will myself home. I'd end the week with a really long run on Saturday, from 2-4 hours, and when I'd run 4 hours two Saturdays in a row, I'd take it easy the week leading up to the 26.2 mile marathon. By the time the race arrived I was ready. Funny thing is after all those hills, sprints and long runs, the marathons ended up being pretty easy (except the last 4 miles!). Sure, there'd be a few hills in that 26.2 miles, but they were spread out. I never ran really fast during the training runs because of the above impediments. But when the impediments were gone, my mile times were surprisingly fast, between 7-8 minutes during the marathons and just a hair over 6 during 10k's.
(There is a point to this, so bear with me.)
I never ran track in high school (late bloomer), but I've read about what top sprinters do to prepare to run like the wind. Foot weights are one method. They train with 5-10 pound weights strapped to their feet. They don't run very fast when those things are on their feet, but they do it anyway. I've also heard about running with parachutes dragging behind. Why? They don't run their fastest when those things are holding them back. Such tools do build strength, but it's more than that even. The real benefit isn't obvious until the weights and chutes are removed. When they are, all that strength and power that was seemingly held back bursts out of the gate resulting in speed and power that sometimes seems superhuman.
But what would happen if these athletes never removed the weights on race day? What if none of their competitors ever used such methods? Surely, such runners aren't stronger or more powerful. Nonetheless, they will win. They will shoot out of the blocks first and keep running faster, leaving the weight- or chute-retarded runners in their wakes. What would you think if those people were on your team or ran for your school? You'd probably scream at them at the top of your lungs, "take off the damn weights!"
So what's my point? Obama and his socialist policies are like those hills, sprints, weights, and chutes. They are dragging America down but, ironically, are also making it stronger. Last week we learned that the unemployment rate finally dropped below 8%. It took longer this time around to right the ship than ever before, excluding the Great Depression (there were actually several mini-recoveries back then, but Roosevelt's training weights kept knocking us down back then, too). Yet, Americans are trying to push forward, weighted down as they are. Much of the world is either catching up or has inched a little in front of us, despite the incredible strength and power that is retarded by the weight of Obama's economic policies.
"Take off the damn weights!"
Here's what we are facing. If Romney wins, the weights fall away like Forrest Gump's leg braces. America's power and strength will surge forward more swiftly than ever before, leaving China, Europe, and Asia in our dust. If Obama wins, the weights stay on, but instead of making us stronger they will wear us out. There's only so much we can take before the law of diminishing returns results in all that extra burden caused by the weights simply wearing us out. Four more years of Obama's training regimen is too much to bear.
"Take off the damn weights America!"
It's time to run like the wind. A good start would be to sprint to the polls on November 7. Ready, set, go!

Home schooling will save America, just as it did in the American Revolution
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Preamble to the Declaration of Independence
Unanimously adopted by Congress July 4, 1776
The above is the most quoted part of the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, the foundational document that sparked the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson wrote most of it, but received substantial input from many of the Declaration's signers, including John Hancock, George Wythe, Thomas Nelson, Jr., Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, and John Adams. It captures perfectly the hearts and souls of America's Founding Fathers, all of them representatives of the people, all of them beneficiaries of an education wholly absent in today's politicians.
These Patriots studied the political philosophies of Rome, Great Britain, and the totalitarian monarchies of Europe and Asia, not just as exercised in their time period, but historic, dating back millennia, with their studies beginning very early in their own lives. Thomas Jefferson, for example, began college at William & Mary at the ripe old age of 16 since his intellect was, by then, firmly rooted in Latin, French, Greek, as well as history, science, and the classics.
How did such men, as mortal as you or I, acquire such a vast and complete education, one that modern government schools, as well as most private schools, never approach? Many, including Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, George Wythe, John Jay (America's first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court), and James Madison, were home-schooled by parents and private tutors, with Benjamin Franklin self-taught from the age of 10. Their minds were filled with the classics, including the works of Plato and Aristotle, supplemented with a plethora of foreign languages such as French, Greek, German, Spanish, and the foundational language of English, Latin. They were also schooled in rhetoric (Socrates) so when their beliefs were challenged they not only knew how to respond, but how to win the arguments put before them.
We should be thankful that our Founding Fathers, many blessed with superior home-school-based educations, knew more about the foundations of democracy and republicanism and the source of our freedoms than their English counterparts. All had studied in depth William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England. This tome was the first of its kind. It put down on paper the foundations of English Common Law and principles of a Constitutional government, which was a good thing since back then the "Constitution" consisted of the totality of English jurisprudence, a culmination of case opinions, statutes, and natural law principles pulled directly from the Bible, and not just one or a few pieces of paper or statutes. They also knew the Magna Carta, England's declaration of what government could and could not do, by heart, something the Colonial Governors, Parliament, and King George somehow believed didn't apply to the Colonies. (The Magna Carta was a bill of rights for feudal lords and not the people in general.) But the better educated, better informed home-schooled Founding Fathers knew better.
When I consider the collective genius that led to the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the United States Constitution that followed, I am naturally led to a question that bothers me given the recent political unrest in America and worldwide. If we were to change history and be placed under the thumb of a modern King George and a similarly oppressive parliament, would today's politicians' educational foundations lead them to reach the same conclusions as American history's greatest and most brilliant revolutionaries? Or are such modern-day leaders merely the beneficiaries of an ignorant populace that doesn't know any better thanks to a government-directed education?
I will leave the ultimate answers up to you, but consider the historic dual purpose of government-directed education when answering: (1) to produce manufacturing workers and troops for armies; and (2) to inculcate in the minds of the people a common vision of government-defined patriotism. Regarding the first purpose, many people don't know that until the early 20th century America didn't have a K-12 government education system. Communities would come together and hire a teacher who would be subject to the authority and direction of the parents, or take on the role of teachers themselves. In fact, the idea of government education as we know it today began in Prussia in the early 19th century. The system mandated compulsory attendance, specific training for teachers, mandatory testing for students, and a national curriculum. The stated purpose was to train factory workers (not managers or entrepreneurs) for the industrial age and instill discipline and respect for authority in the students to prepare them for mandatory military service (as troops, not as officers). Most telling was that this mandatory education ceased in the 8th year, with only the most affluent families having the means to enroll their children in private and preparatory schools (or engage private tutors) to prepare them for university or service as military officers. Is it any surprise that although America's government education system continues to the 12th year the overall literacy rate is a meager 65%? I guess you don't need to be able to read beyond a 4th grade level if all you're doing is driving in rivets in cars or aircraft at someone else's direction, or carrying a rifle into combat with someone else giving the orders.
The secondary purpose is somewhat insidious. It has its roots in communism and in particular Karl Marx's teachings on the role of government education. In summation, the purpose of the government taking over the education of children was to eliminate familial, religious, and what he deemed destructive patriotic influences from the minds of children. The goal was to begin indoctrinating the populace at a very early age so the government, not parents, churches, or historic influences such as
the Founding Fathers, would dictate the path society would go
down (and I emphasize "down"). The Progressives under President Woodrow Wilson
fully embraced this role, and our nation is bearing the fruits of this
philosophy of education today. God is gone as is a respect for entrepreneurs
and wealth creators. We have a bigger, more intrusive government, and much
fewer freedoms than ever before.
By the way, the Founding Fathers not home schooled attended prestigious private schools. None attended government schools.
The only hope we have of saving this great country of ours just might be, once again, home schooling. Last fall I taught Constitutional Law to a group of home-schooled high school kids, ten kids committed to learning about the United States Constitution, ages ranging from 15 to 18 years. I expected them to be about as well informed as the typical high school kid, but I was pleasantly surprised. What I experienced was a group of kids that, thanks to their parents, already grasped the principles of limited government and unalienable rights that few government-educated law students fully grasp before or after graduating law school. Hence, it appears to me that we have a core group of future Founding Fathers (and Mothers) who enjoy the benefits of home schooling and private tutors shared with the likes of Jefferson, Washington, Wythe, Franklin, Jay, and Madison, and want to benefit society with their superior education. They aren't hamstrung by the disadvantages of Prussian-styled government schools. They are already leaders and entrepreneurs, the kind America was founded by and who will lead us toward a better, brighter future.

Our State Department of Education should stop throwing stones at home schoolers since it lives in a glass house
Following is an email I sent to Dr. David Dennis, Chairman of the Kansas Board of Education. It speaks for itself:
Mr. Dennis, I am sure you've received plenty of feedback on your recent statements regarding the need to "look into" homeschooling. I am also certain you have been forwarded plenty of studies regarding SAT and ACT performance of homeschooled kids versus government schooled kids. Suffice it to say that as an attorney who home schools his own children, I have far more confidence in any family's ability to teach its own kids, regardless of the parents' level of education, than the average government school. Statistics affirm my confidence.

Statistics affirm my confidence.
There is also the inherent problem of an institution that refrains from moral teachings that would prevent the biggest problems government schools face, such as premarital sex leading to teen pregnancy and questionable anti-God policies that lead kids to question their own parents' religious beliefs.
If you've identified a certain percentage of sub-par home schools that will warrant continued investigation, I suggest you apply the same standard to the schools you oversee. But I am sure the double standards and conflict of interest of your Board won't permit that. The goal, after all, is to preserve the status quo and not produce graduates who can compete with international students taught by those without political agendas. You seem more concerned with preserving the jobs of the teachers than actually providing kids with the best education possible.
Sadly, you are dealing with the best educated constituency in the nation, home school families. We and our children know our Constitution (and the Three-Rs, for that matter) much better than most of the government school teachers in your government school system. And the students I have taught Constitutional Law to are also much better researchers and writers than the very best government schooled kids. Suffice it to say that instead of calling for an investigation of home schools elicited by those with nefarious intentions, you should be reviewing what curricula home school families are using and use it in your own schools. You might actually produce more high school graduates who can read and write above a sixth-grade level (or read and write at all).

Sow what we reap!
Two men were having coffee, when one of them said, "Last night, my son just walked into the living room and said, 'Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, stereo, iPhone, iPod, and my laptop. Please give my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. Then sell my car. Take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to my brother.'" The other man said, "Wow, he really said that?" "Well, he didn't put it quite that way. He actually said...'Dad, I've decided to work for Obama's re-election campaign.'"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karoo and Ferrar denote a major geologic province consisting of flood basalt, which mostly covers South Africa and Antarctica, although portions extend further into southern Africa and into South America, India, Australia and New Zealand.[1] It formed just prior to the breakup of Gondwana in the Lower Jurassic epoch, about 183 million years ago; this timing corresponds to the early Toarcian anoxic event and the Pliensbachian-Toarcian extinction. The total original volume of the flow, which extends over a distance in excess of 6000 km (4000 km in Antarctica alone), was in excess of 2.5 x 106 km³.[2]

Sequential Art Grad School: SCAD?
I'm very interested in stepping up my comics skills since it's something my school's art dept didn't cover. I'm all about the comic learning! Anyway, I visited SCAD and was worried by how difficult it was to deal with the administration, as well as the rich-kid-who-doesn't-care-about-anything mentality I saw (I don't know if that's common or not though...but where the town is so poor and the school so rich, I definitely saw a clash).
So, are there any people who were part of SCAD's masters program for sequential art? Or, if any of you know of any other school's with graduate programs that would be helpful for comics, please share!

Rich-kid-who-doesn't-care-about-anything mentality? Lol. This is SCAD, not RISD. I assure you, anyone with that sort of attitude is FEW in number here.

Ooh, burn! I'll take your word for it--I must have just run into those few people when I visited, and to be honest, I'm sure every art school comes with a few of that crowd.

I was part of the SEQART undergrad program (and had friends in the grad program at the time,) so I can chime in on this a little bit.
The admin is about as frustrating as anywhere else, so depending on how much you hate dealing with admins will determine how worrisome that might be. I've had more good experiences one on one with them than with the admin body as a whole, so it wasn't too bad.
I think the SEQ Dept. is pretty good compared to some of the other majors. The professors are incredibly helpful but willing to kick your ass if you're a screw-up, and many of them won't bother with you if you aren't willing to put in the time. From what I understood, the next closest major, Illustration, is not anything like this - Far more pretentiousness and lack of draftsmanship in those halls.
Most of the kids in the dept. when I went were great to get along with and had a terrific mentality and work ethic. There were a few jerks, but were pretty much avoidable the whole time I was there.
Grad program is more or less the same as the undergrad - similar courses with either a bigger class load or tweaked objectives. Your thesis project from what I vaguely remember was a single project you took on - I believe one of my friends went about illustrating key scenes from the Simarillion to make into an illustrated book, another did a 200 pg. graphic novel, another did storyboards for several short films, etc. It was pretty much something you tailored to your interests. I don't the details of it though, since I never pursued a masters degree.
If you've got more general questions about the SEQ. dept though, I'd be happy to help.

Are you talking about Atlanta or Savannah?
My advise, if you can go to Savannah, do it. Atlanta has a wide variety of problems 'under the hood', at least they did a couple years ago, and from what I've heard, things have gotten worse.
Big clue: if the instructional faculty at the school you're thinking of is made up 100% of graduates from the very school in question, be prepared for elitist attitudes, unconnected to reality.
Paul Hudson and Tom Lyle are awesome!
Savannah's crime problem always worries me though.

Academic Calendar
The classroom component is completed at Saint Francis Hospital, Evanston.
View the 2014-2015 academic calendar
Clinical Obligations
Clinical class rotations are offered at a variety of hospitals of The Presence Health System currently. Students complete a variety of clinical rotations during the course of the 24-month program. These rotations provide a broad scope of learning situations to increase clinical competence as well as promote general understanding of the many areas of diagnostic imaging. These rotations include five different sites:
- Presence Saint Francis Hospital
- Community First Medical Center
- Presence Saint Joseph Hospital
- Presence Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center
- Presence Resurrection Medical Center
Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from clinical assignments.
Clinical experience in a variety of shifts also benefits the student. It creates a well-rounded radiographer, experienced in routine procedures as well as emergency patients. This enhances problem solving and critical thinking capabilities and increased responsibility while under the supervision of an experienced technologist.
Our clinical education is divided into six sequential classes. These clinical classes are scheduled on opposite days from classroom instruction. Clinical schedules are available on a semester basis.
Two-week class breaks are scheduled at the end of each 16-week semester and additional vacation time off is detailed in the student handbook. The complete academic calendar is available in the school offices.
Clinical and classroom experiences will not exceed 40 hours per week. Weekdays are given off when weekend clinical classes are scheduled.
Academic Class Hours
First year classroom instruction is held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Classes are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Second year classroom instruction is held on Tuesday and Thursday. Classes are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Clinical Class Hours
First semester students are required to participate in weekday clinical classes from 7:45 am to 3:30 pm.
During semesters 2-6, clinical classes meet from 7:45 am to 3:30 pm. Limited alternate rotations include weekday evenings 12:30pm - 8pm, weekend evenings 2pm - 9pm. Students also have the opportunity to rotate through surgery and other ancillary imaging areas as part of their clinical experience.


text: NRA's Dubost rebuts JAMA study November 29, 2011 The National Restaurant Association's chief nutritionist has questioned the findings of a study published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association that examined the relationship between declared versus tested caloric content of restaurant food. Joy Dubost, the NRA's director of nutrition and healthy living, refuted the study in a letter to the editor published in JAMA (Oct., 19, 2011, Vol. 306, No. 15, pp. 1655-1656), saying the findings were inaccurate because the data collected came from randomly selected food items from quick- and full-service restaurants in three states. She said that overall, the stated caloric contents were not significantly different from the measured caloric contents, however, a large variability ‑ greater than 100 calories ‑ was found in 19 percent of the food items analyzed. Dubost, a registered dietitian with a PhD in food science, characterized the study as flawed, saying poor methodology was used."The authors did not follow standard sampling procedures, which may have resulted in the variability found in the 19 percent of food items analyzed," Dubost said. "Analyzing only a few samples weakened the results, which would have been stronger if they would have followed standard sampling procedures. The methods used for sampling and testing restaurant foods are particularly important given the inherent variability with hand-prepared foods." In her response, Dubost wrote that, "In general, this study shows the variance in caloric information to be small in most cases. With the new menu-labeling law, we know that many restaurant chains are looking at tighter kitchen quality-control standards, from the weight of the meals to the package sizes used for takeout." Dubost further indicated that NRA research has shown that seven in 10 consumers are trying to eat healthier than they did two years ago, and that the association has led the way in ensuring useful nutritional information, such as caloric content, be listed on restaurant menus.

Sewage chemicals reveal evidence of illegal drug use
Public health officials may soon be able to flush out more accurate estimates on illegal drug use in communities across the country thanks to a new screening test. But the test doesnt screen people directly: It seeks out evidence of illicit drug abuse in drug residues and metabolites excreted in urine and flushed toward municipal sewage treatment plants.
The approach could provide a fast, reliable and inexpensive way to track trends in drug use at the local, regional or state levels while preserving the anonymity of individuals, Jennifer Field and colleagues said.
Past estimates of illicit drug abuse in a community were based largely on surveys in which children and adults were asked about their use of illegal drugs. Researchers knew that some were untruthful, with individuals reluctant to admit breaking the law.
Preliminary tests conducted in 10 U.S. cities show the method can simultaneously quantify methamphetamine and metabolites of cocaine and marijuana and legal drugs such as methadone, oxycodone, and ephedrine, the researchers said.
Because our method can provide data in real time, we anticipate it might be used to help law officials undertaking surveillance to make intervention or prevention decisions or to decide where to allocate resources, the scientists stated.

By kimbel
from Shediac, N.B.
an inhibitor takes time to see any results. It feels good on the skin, it has no unpleasant odor, slight citrus scent. Otherwise very difficult to tell at this early stage if there is any benefit....will take 3/4 mo.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

does not work, and stinks
By JANET
from NORTH YORK
The product does not work and it stinks. Stinks is an understatement. I can't believe anything meant for your skin can smell sooooo bad!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It soothes

I'm not sure how much it slows down hair growth but it's a must to avoid sensitivity after using the laser.

The train will connect the aiport to the LIRR and 7 train via the Grand Central.
Trips to LaGuardia Airport from West 106th Street are about 10 minutes faster.
Select Bus Service on the M60 LaGuardia Airport bus is slated to begin May 25.
The long winter pushed back the debut of the controversial service on the M60 bus line.
The M60 SBS will have six stops on 125th Street, dedicated bus lane from Lenox Avenue to Second Avenue.
Harlem residents had complained that the plan to speed the M60 bus ignored the needs of the community.
Select Bus Service and other improvements are headed for 125th Street.

Hi! I love teaching math and I'm excited to start the school year in the new building. I am orginally from Ohio (Go Bucks!) but my husband and I have lived here for the last 7years. I am the mother of a beautiful baby boy. I love to be outside and enjoy the North Carolina sunshine!

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 9/17/12
During his days in Toronto, Alex Rios heard critics claim that he didn't care enough and that he didn't play hard all the time. Blue Jays fans might want to watch the replay of the Chicago White Sox's 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday, as Rios continued to show that his laid-back attitude had been interpreted incorrectly. The outfielder had what could prove to be the play of the year for the Sox, or at least the slide of the year. Rios broke up a potential inning-ending double play in the fifth inning, resulting in a throwing error by Tigers second baseman Omar Infante that allowed the tying and go-ahead runs to score. The Sox ended up holding on for the win in the makeup game from last week, and they stretched their lead in the AL Central to three games over the second-place Tigers. With 16 games left, the Sox players know Monday's result was huge, especially because, at least on paper, Chicago has a tougher schedule, having to go to Kansas City and Anaheim, and sti...

Picture this: a devout woman, active in her local parish, has been denied communion for years, because her husband (not her) has been previously married. Therefore, her marriage is not considered legit by the Church. So she writes a letter to the Vatican.I'm not sure what sort of response she was expecting. But what she got was a call from THE POPE. He calls her up, says, it's cool, you can take communion. No biggie.She leaks the call to the media, so for about 5 minutes, Catholics e … [Read more...]
Red Tape at the Table
What We Can Learn…
Confession time: for all that i am willing to proclaim what is wrong with mega-church culture, I have never actually spent much time in one.I went to a really big church, once. I was in college, and went with some friends to what was quickly becoming one of the largest churches in the state. This was way before my sense of calling to ministry, and before i had any kind of awareness of the culture wars that were emerging within and between churches. But I remember 3 distinct impressions I took a … [Read more...]
Soul Seasons
A pumpkin latte in my hand. From Not Starbuck's. A cool crisp 62 degrees out. I am on a porch swing with a background of lush foliage, bleeding slowly from green into reds and browns and yellows. I am wearing my favorite brown sweatshirt, and reading a really great library book. The day ahead is miraculously full of nothing but open time, save playing with my kids, and later having some friends over for dinner.OK, so almost none of those things is true. I do, in fact, have a pumpkin(ish) … [Read more...]
For Such a Time as This
I was sitting on the floor of my crummy first-year-of-being-a-grownup apartment, doing grad school homework that i should have done the night before, and getting ready to go to class. Which means I probably shouldn't have been watching tv, but was. When the plane hit the first tower, i went and woke up my roommate, who was still sleeping. "What? That's crazy!" she said. I ran quickly back to the tv to find out what a breathless world was waiting to find out--what sort of mechanical error, … [Read more...]
The Sacred Struggle
I was cooking dinner and trying not to get sucked in. It is only September. Of the year BEFORE the election year. I am not ready for the emotional angst, the loaded sermon fodder, the toxic wasteland that is partisan rhetoric. It was on in the background, but I was determined not to engage.When I heard the applause, I turned around. I'm listening now, i thought numbly. I looked to see if I'd really heard what I'd just heard. My husband and I looked at each other, appalled. "Rewind that," I … [Read more...]
Suck it Up
Ok, she is almost 3. I've tried to be patient. I've read all the warm-fuzzy parenting stuff about letting them work it out on their own, hounding them about it will just make it worse, attachment issues and comfort zones, blah blah blah. But now, it is time.The thumb has got to go.I remember the blessed day when, around 6 weeks of age, I watched my sweet baby girl learn that she had the powers of coordination needed to get that appendage into her toothless mouth, all by herself. I … [Read more...]
A Cup of the Good Stuff
When's the last time you got out the good china?After I went on and on yesterday about the blessedness of a messy house, I think I should clarify--though I blamed the chaos on the kiddos, I have to own that much (much) of the mess is mine. And not quite so much of it is my husband's. He does his best to keep some order, but he is only one person. Much like my mother (and oh, they do talk about me) he finally stops cleaning up after me so that I will one day go oh, my, this place is a … [Read more...]
Joyful Noise
I never know who "they" are, but "they" say you should start reading to your baby very young. In-utero, if possible. When they are very small, long before the sounds make words, the rhythm of your voice is soothing. It lulls them to sleep. It connects them to the sound of you. While they are small enough to be still in your arms and not try to escape, the joy of reading takes root in them. Meanwhile, word by word, something like language begins to take shape. It starts out as white noise, but … [Read more...]

Special Projects
Special Projects is an innovative community policing office which uses a proactive approach to solving problems within the community. Currently, there are three officers assigned to this office. One of the main duties is for officers to host, teach, and oversee the Citizens' Academy. The purpose of the Academy is to promote and enhance citizen understanding and awareness of the role of the Great Falls Police Department. The program is designed to develop positive relations between the police and the community through education. The Academy occurs twice a year and allows up to 30 students in each class. Law Related Education was brought back this year, due to the bureau being fully staffed. One officer oversees this program, which is taught at GFHS and CMR. This program gives high school students an opportunity to look into the life of Law Enforcement from all aspects. Part of the curriculum is a ride-a-long with an officer. Listed below are some of the duties of the Special Projects officers:
- Organize, oversee, and teach the Citizens' Academy
- Use forensic video techniques to enhance and clarify surveillance video to assist in crime solving
- Give crime prevention/safety presentations as requested
- Attend Neighborhood Council meetings and address problems/concerns that are brought up
- Work with citizens to solve issues regarding problem houses and individuals throughout the community
- Work with citizens to establish Neighborhood Watch groups

Nobody is coming for your guns, they said. Nobody is taking away your rights, they said. This is all about public safety, they said.
Nearly a year ago, the New York legislature passed the toughest gun control law in the country known as the S.A.F.E. Act. It was rushed through in the middle of the night and as soon as it landed on Governor Cuomo's desk, he signed it without asking questions. Now, local and state government are taking the opportunity to crack down on regulations already on the books which means for many, turn in your guns or leave.
The New York City Police Department is taking aim at owners of certain shotguns and rifles, telling them all long guns with a five-round or more capacity must be turned in, altered or taken out of town.
An estimated 500 recipients of the notices, which were mailed on Nov. 18, were given the options to surrender their gun, permanently move the gun out of city jurisdiction or employ a licensed gunsmith to modify the weapon to get into compliance with the law. Rifles and shotguns with a capacity of five or more rounds are affected.
Though these notices were not sent out as a direct result of the SAFE Act, New York State Assemblyman James Tedisco said the new law may embolden city police forces to send out similar letters.
Tedisco, who voted against the SAFE Act, said New York City had the five-round law in the books for about 20 years, but this is the first time he has heard complaints about the notices being sent out to gun owners.
"These letters appear to be another example of the Nanny State," Tedisco said. "Hypothetically, it can start with a letter, and then that can lead to someone knocking on your door saying, 'I want to see your gun.'"
Thanks to the S.A.F.E. Act and the unreasonable demands from police, three gun companies have left New York State in addition to a number of gun owners.

Things I liked:Good reproduction. Very accurate at 5 meters for a smoothbore BB pistol. Nice blowback. My favorite BB CO2 pistol.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Get an extra clip. The spring in the clip is very strong, much stronger than the usual BB clip. It's hard on fingernails. I now use a shaped popsicle stick to hold the spring back while loading the clip.
Things I liked:The heft, The blowback, the accuracy, the adjustable rear sights, The all metal construction,
Things I would have changed:Reduce the CO2 consumption, and increase the velocity.
What others should know:I can shoot very accuratly with this gun. If I want to hit the targets, I can count on this gun. This is one of my favorites.
Things I liked:Good adjustable open sights. Provision with the attachable pickatinnny rail for red dot sight or laser under frame.
Things I would have changed:Make co2 cartridge tightening plug out of all metal rather than plastic for longevity. Engineer to gain higher muzzle velocity.
What others should know:Appears it prefers Daisy zinc coated steel bb's rather than copperhead for dependability in feeding.

"I absolutely LOVED these invitations! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and image color/clarity. They were so simple but as they say, "less is more!" These were so PERFECT for my baby's Western Themed Birthday Party. This was my first time ordering from Tiny Pints and I will definitely be a returning customer!"
"Quality is wonderful. We used a photo of my son pulling his shirt back to show the "S" for superman. SO STINKIN CUTE!! Tons of compliments. Best card we've created through Tiny Prints thus far!"
"These invitation were a hit. Top quality printing. I honestly was not sure what to expect, but very please that I ordered this particular invitation for my son's 3rd birthday party. No complaints!"
"This invitation template was perfect for my son's thank you notes after his superhero party. I was able to adjust the wording to conform to a thank you note and the designer was able to add 1 large photo on the front instead of 2 small ones. Everyone was impressed that the theme and details did not end the day of the party. And they arrived lightning fast."
"This card is even cuter in person than in the pictures. It is definitely one of my favorites, and I have been getting cards here 2-3 times a year for 5 years! :) Thanks to Tiny Prints for being so awesome!!"

Oh. Look at this! I actually knew what I was talking about, even though I didn't know I knew. Deep in the AP piece is this:
Insurers say that combination would drive many of them out of business since the public plan would be able to offer lower premiums to virtually all Americans.
Small businesses - those with annual payrolls of under $250,000 - are exempt from the requirement to provide health insurance or pay the 8% fee. But they will have a hard time keeping employees if they don't offer health insurance, so they will ultimately get sucked into the system as well.
But, before you go out and start trying to get healthy by eating better and exercising more, consider this from the LA Times:
Foreshadowing the expected legislative battles ahead, Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), who has been working on a more moderate version, said, "I don't think it's going to go anywhere in the Senate."
Whew! I feel better already.

Although the Blues Cruise Company offers a variety of musical acts, shore activities, theme nights, and on-board services, Blues Cruise is known for one thing -- attracting a community of blues jazz enthusiasts who maintain friendships long after the ship docks at its final destination. With gatherings at regional music clubs, an online forum, a social media presence, and a street team, Blues Cruise alumni clearly consider this cruise a gem amongst its competitors.
#4 -- Magic Cruise:For those to whom a trip away from home is an opportunity to create a little magic, a magic cruise offers the chance for magicians and magic enthusiasts alike to learn new tricks, enjoy performances, and partake in a variety of magic-themed entertainments spanning workshops, parties, and contests.
Departing from Long Beach, Calif., David Sandy's Magic Cruise certainly fits the bill if magic is your hobby of choice. Sandy himself has been coordinating music and magic productions for 30 years, and his Magic Cruise draws from his experience in the field with Vegas-style activities on a Carnival Splendor ship whose ports of call include three stops in Mexico -- Puerta Vallarta, Mazatalan, and Cabo San Lucas. The annual eight-day cruise rates span from $749 per person for an inside room cabin to $979 per person for a balcony cabin.
Kids are included as part of the magic as well, with an exclusive playroom on board and specially-designed entertainments for the toughest crowd of all! With all the fun of a magic convention on board a luxury cruise, this program is sure to be a favorite -- no illusion about it.
#5 -- Science and Technology Cruise: Are you fascinated by scientific development, planetary movement, computer technology and modern media? If so, vacations will never be the same after embarking on Crystal Cruises' Science and Technology Cruise. This cruise program -- offered on routes as varied as the West Indies, Mexican Riviera, and Panama Canal -- includes scholarly lectures, interaction with NASA scientists, and hands-on courses on topics such as computer training and foreign languages, coupled with all of the amenities of a traditional cruise.
After all, a lecture titled "Planetary Emergencies" is better when followed by an afternoon of deep-sea snorkeling. Crystal Cruise offers this particular program on three different cruises, with the first departing in March of 2011 from Miami, Florida. Five lecturers -- highly regarded professionals in their respective fields of nuclear strategy, scientific education, natural sciences, and space operations -- will be featured aboard on the 14 day cruise.
A variety of traditional on-board entertainments are also offered, with headlining entertainers, lounge pianists, comedians, and production shows creating a diverse lineup for nightly performances. The appeal of this cruise however, is in its sincere goal of offering passengers a chance to "navigate the vast and evolving world of science."
Fares begin at $4,490 for a stateroom, with a Crystal penthouse suite with verandah priced at $57,970. Special savings with air credits, special rates, and on-board spending certificates are available on a limited basis. All cruises set for the high seas on the 922-passenger Crystal Symphony, which boasts a casino, lap pool, Feng Shui inspired spa, full 360-degree teak deck and an expertly trained staff.
