Tone Deaf Pro-Gun Rally Coming to Columbus Just in Time for MLK Day!
I'm a pretty big fan of irony and juxtaposition. It doesn't get any better than a pro-gun rally at the Ohio Statehouse during the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Weekend.
Guns Across America is doing just that in several state capitols tomorrow.
According to the Facebook event page for Ohio, the group's intent is to have a peaceful demonstration to stop any and all future gun control legislation.
Because nothing says peaceful demonstration like walking around downtown Columbus with an assault weapon strapped to your back.
The organizers of the group are being very careful about public perception. There are many calls to very closely follow the law regarding concealed carry and open carry, not park in covered parking lots, not bring any Hitler signs, and my personal favorite "be careful to prevent any accidental discharges". They also want people to not wear so much camo, because – you know – they're not militant or anything. They just want to carry around AR-15s. Which begs the question: If you're walking around with an assault weapon strapped to your back will not wearing camouflage make you look any LESS militant?
The political optics for this couldn't be worse. In addition to "Guns Across America", there is also "Gun Appreciation Day", where gun supporters are told to show up at their local gun store, gun range, or gun show with a copy of the Constitution, their American Flags, and "Hands off my Guns" signs.
Great timing guys!

More death throws of the white chauvinist male, and increasingly defunct, demographic. And It's another opportunity for repulicans to say and do stupid things. Can't wait.
You meant throes. I know reasonable men and woman who carry weapons. That fact invalidates your position.
Do you think only white men support the right to hear arms. Women are the fastest growing demographic for CCW permits.
I'm going. I come from a professional walk of life, and do not consider myself militant. This is a demonstration to counterpoint your very position — that all gun owners are second-class citizens with a complete disregard for life. What better weekend (not day, MLK day is Monday) to show that a small minority of lunatics do not an entire group make? Stereotype away while denigrating an inanimate object you do not wish to own, but explain why I shouldn't protest a movement to make me a felon for something I already own with the sweep of an autopen? I'll be one of many in clothes you wouldn't give a second glance in your day-to-day errands — I think you would find reasonable, likable people on the other side of your position if you open yourself up to another opinion…
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
I'm open to other opinions on guns. If you read Plunderbund for any amount of time you will realize we are a mix of gun owners and non gun owners.
I support a right to have guns, but realize there are limits to those rights. Carrying an AR-15 around while shopping or assembling to exercise your freedom of speech are cases where I think it not particularly helpful.
I'm fully aware there are reasonable, likable people on the other side of the political spectrum. I just wish they'd keep the lunatics in check more often.
I do think you seriously misconstrue what MLK stood for and how he did it.
I am responding to your article which is sans reasonable tone. I found your article because I searched for news regarding the event. You were hoping for a reaction with this content, and you received a reasonable one (much to your chagrin it appears). Backtracking or undercutting the content of your article in comments does not a reasonable article and full position make. If you have a position beyond this article, perhaps modifications should be made. Please explain how I misconstrue MLK's positions? Putting words into a statement is not an argument.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
I'm not sure how you come to this conclusion. Your reasonable tone is appreciated and has been as far as I can tell returned. I write to inform, not provoke. Reaction is fine and I do like a lively comment section.
I've not backtracked a bit. I think it's politically tone deaf, self-defeating ultimately, to have a gun rally on the weekend that is dedicated to celebrating a man who not only preached non-violence but practiced it.
I don't need to remind you that he was shot and killed with a rifle, right?
You misconstrue King's positions by inferring that his struggle was about proving that a "minority of lunatics does not an entire group make". It was nothing of the sort.
Thus far your position that this is the perfect time to march down to the statehouse with semi-automatic assault weapons is not at all convincing.
Obviously the organizers of this event are concerned about perception as they are asking people NOT to wear camo, etc.
My position was, and remains that the timing of this event is both ironic and a sad juxtaposition against the backdrop of a celebration for an American Icon who used non-violence for social change. Your comments have done nothing to assert otherwise.
It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal. Good day, sir!
I too appreciate your sound tone in the comments section. Allow me to respond to before ending with a "good day" (you likely didn't mean the suppressed expression, but that impressed upon me that you believe this comment to be complete and above response).
I don't know you Eric, and I am responding to you in frustration with what seems like constant vilification from the side opposite my position, and that is wrong of me. Let's reorient.
Public perception of gun rights activists is skewed in my opinion, largely due the amount of coverage that is given to extremists. What I take offense to in your article are the following suppressed premises contained:
Organizers of the event are attempting to skew opinion by asking us to dress a certain way: I don't think that's the case. The issue is so volatile and coverage so skewed that a guideline must be made to ensure our opinion is regarded rather than our appearance (Content of character rather than appearance – a position I think King supported).
It's ironic that this demonstration is on MLK weekend because he did not support violence. That suppressed premise is that all gun rights supporters love violence. I disagree with that suppressed premise.
Thank you for responding, I do feel better about your position, and feel like my opinion was respected from your comments.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
It was actually just a Willy Wonka reference I'm wont to make. 😉
I see your underlying problem with my premise. I still contend if that's the case, show up with signs and leave the guns at home. Most people see an AR-15 and immediately think violence. Same thing for camo, which was the point of telling folks not to wear it.
Thanks for the comments. I do respect your position, though that may not have come out in my original post. I don't want your guns, Obama doesn't want your guns. I think what we all should want is to figure out how to prevent senseless tragedies at the hands of these weapons.
I'm not sure if we can even have that conversation yet, but we need to.
Thank you, I will be there without my AR per this discussion. I want you to know this argument had an effect, I was previously planning on carrying it…so thanks!
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
So funny you would say that. I was just coming back here to let you know that you were right. I was being overly dismissive of a point of view – which happened to be yours. Political rhetoric has that effect on us I think. I also took a lot away from this discussion. Thanks for that.
A true win in this debate is understanding one another, not "winning". As always the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Again, thanks for engaging – especially in the way you did. It had an effect on me.
"I support a right to have guns, but realize there are limits to those rights. "
You mean the part of the Second Amendment where it says "the right of the people, to keep and bear arms, shall be subject to whatever restrictions people who are against guns deem to be reasonable"? Oh wait, that's not in there…it says "the right of the people, to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed". Huh.
"I just wish they'd keep the lunatics in check more often."
Those "lunatics" you are referring to are 100% law abiding people. Just because you don't like their opinion doesn't make them a lunatic, it just makes you a jerk for calling them lunatics because you don't like their personal opinions.

1. No one is trying to take your guns, dude. Relax.
2. The second amendment also says "well regulated".

Yes, you are trying to take my guns by wanting to ban things purely because you find their cosmetic appearance to be "scary". You have no grounds for banning them because they are "dangerous" since rifles of ANY sort are the LEAST used weapon when committing a murder. Per the FBI, only 2.75% of murders were committed using ANY type of rifle (scary looking or otherwise), yet almost 6% of murders were committed just by punching / kicking someone to death.
If you bothered to do a bit of research, you'd know that in the 18th century the word "regulated" had nothing to do with government control – it meant "functioning". Ergo, a well functioning militia (meaning the people of the US), being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
http://plunderbund.com Joseph
"I" am not trying to ban anyone from owning a rifle, nor is anyone else at Plunderbund as far as I know.
The majority of our primary contributors have guns in their homes. Two of us, including myself, have CCW permits.
I was actually at the rally downtown today.
And while I agree with Eric that it was poorly timed, and also that walking around downtown openly carrying an AK-47 with your toddlers in tow is not the best way to prove to the world that you're a responsible gun owner (or a responsible parent, for that matter) – I'll admit the event only had a few weirdos dressed head-to-toe in Vietnam-era camouflage and only one Obama impersonator as far as I can tell.

"You" personally might not, but some of your friends (like the author of this post) are as well as many Democrats. When we've had multiple Democrat controlled state governments openly talk about confiscating guns, how can you seriously try to claim that no one wants to confiscate guns?
Also, why are people so scared of open carrying? I don't get the gun owners who are afraid of seeing another person carrying a gun.
http://plunderbund.com Joseph
I'd love to see some examples of Ohio Democrats in state government threatening to take away guns.
Former Governor Strickland, a Democrat, has an A rating from the NRA. Strickland voted AGAINST the assault weapons ban when he was in congress. And he signed a ton of pro-gun legislation while he was governor.
Current Governor Kasich, a Republican, voted FOR the assault weapons ban, earning himself an F from the NRA.
Oh – and the Buckeye Firearms Association endorsed Strickland over Kasich because of Kasich's anti-gun votes in Congress.
Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
When did I mention Ohio? I said "multiple Democrat controlled state governments". I know for certain that Connecticut and New York have both mentioned confiscations. I believe Maryland has mentioned something about it as well
Kasich may have voted for a ban previously, but as Governor he's been very pro-gun. After the incident in Newtown many liberals urged him to not sign HB 495 into law and he responded by telling them that he wouldn't delay it and signed it the next day.
I'm still not sure why you're mentioning Ohio though when I was explicitly referring to state governments with a Democrat governor and Democrat majority in both houses, such as NY.
http://plunderbund.com Joseph
I mention Ohio because we are an Ohio-focused political blog and this story was about an Ohio event.
Also worth mentioning: Ohio is not New York.
But even in NY State, the loudest voice for gun control is NYC Mayor Bloomberg, who was elected as a Republican. And any laws that will get passed must get passed the Republican-controlled State Senate.
I'd be interested to see any actual evidence you have of someone in Ohio or any state calling for confiscating guns.
Even the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban didn't confiscate weapons or even BAN them. It just affected weapons manufactured for the ten year period defined in the bill.
The most likely thing we'll see coming out of the recent round of calls for more gun regulation will be additional background checks, not bans on guns.
And I'm all for that.

The author of this post is also not trying to take your guns.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
brnhut is the one who used the term lunatic. i just responded to it. there are lunatics among the gun culture set. if you aren't even able to acknowledge this then I don't think we can continue having a dialogue here.
http://www.facebook.com/jason.cenotti.3 Jason Cenotti
The ar-15 is the epitome of the second amendment. That weapon is the compromise instead of an actual assault weapon. That is the gun (along with its multi shaped cousins) that is under attack. So why should rifle owners hide. Why not bring it out so people can see they are not weapons of mass destruction. Its time gun owners get galvanized and proactive before we are reduced to .22 caliber derringers attached to 40 lb weights. I voted Democrat the last few elections and this attack has pushed me far to the right because I believe in the bill of rights and the ability to defend my family with more than 7 bullets.
http://www.facebook.com/stephen.beard.509 Stephen Beard
brnhut, you are certainly correct that not all gun-owners are second-class citizens and so forth, but it is not a stereotype to say that you and your co-protestors are taking the mantle of victim because the President and his crew want to restrict access to such things as high capacity magazines and assault style weapons. Yes, yes, I know that many guns are of the semi-automatic type and that banning such weapons as the AR-15 is just a ridiculous gesture. I also know there are reasonable and likable people on either side of this position, but the obvious claim that gun control laws make victims of gun owners, which is the unstated point of this event, makes your claims absurd. Do you want to appear as a victim? If not, stay home.
Legislating that I must put myself at a disadvantage against criminals who will choose the best weapon available regardless of laws makes me a victim to both them and the law. I do not think my claim is absurd.
And what better way to show that you're not lunatics than by walking around the center of a city with your AR-15 or SKS during the MLK weekend festivities? Nothing says peaceful demonstration like a bunch of people with firearms….
When you finally do have a lot of strict regulations imposed at the state and federal level on all firearms, you can look back and ask yourselves if this kind of in your face nonsense led to your defeat.
http://twitter.com/johnpdeever johnpdeever
Maybe not you, brnhut, but others have claimed that a gun rally on the MLK holiday weekend (why split hairs about the exact day?) honors the values King fought for. To which Jon Stewart replied, "Dr. King would be pro-gun, just as surely as Jesus would be pro-nail."
I had no idea Jon could speak for MLK, but I'm sure Martin would argue that the movement he fought for was bigger than just him. The value that gun owners should not be vilified for our position in sweeping statements is one position I think he would support — but I cannot speak for the man.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
You should study King more. You'll find it is more complicated than you may know – I know I did. Early King had armed guards outside of his home and applied for a concealed carry permit because of threats on his life. He was denied the permit and ultimately convinced by Bayard Rustin that he had to abandon that tactic if he was going to truly follow the Gandhian way. He did and it worked.
I was not aware of that, thank you for this research. I now know that I would disagree with MLK's position in regard to defensive use of force. I do believe he would not consider forcing people to take his position.
So you disagree with the right to self defense.
You misread my remark. I argue MLK chose to reason instead of using defensive force. Reasoning only works with reasonable people, and defensive force should be used for all others.
Gun rights are a civil rights issue. How can you not think that the right to defend yourself (whether it is from a drugged up criminal or a corrupt government trying to oppress you) is a civil right?
http://www.facebook.com/dfissell1 Donald Fissell
1. it is peaceful if no shots are fired. 2. MLK did believe in guns for self defenses. and he supported the NRA effort to help arm the black so they could protect them self from the KKK a left-wing group started by the democrat party
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
So many problems here. 1. Would you say that a New Black Panther Party poll watcher with a machine gun is a peaceful act so long as no shots were fired? I'd argue it's militant and I wouldn't support it. It's disingenuous to argue it's peaceful when the underlying tone is to flaunt an ability to carry around devices that were designed to kill people.
2. Yes and no. There was a time when many in the civil rights movement did have weapons for self protection. The King home was famously guarded after it was bombed. Some called it an arsenal. Later, he gave this up, knowing that no amount of weaponry could keep him safe. See my earlier references to this change of heart in my other comment. I'd love to see some kind of citation for your claim that MLK supported the NRA in order to arm blacks.
Last problem with your statement is the over-simplistic claim that the KKK was a "left-wing group started by the democrat party". Firstly, it ignores any historical context that the democrats who started the KKK were conservatives. Yesterday's Ds and Rs are a far cry from today's. Not your father's [party], as it were. The Klan were against Republicans at the time, who were in fact quite liberal. So one could say the modern day Republican Party (very conservative) are descendants of the old Southern Democrat Party.

The notion of a bunch of gun-nuts parading around downtown Columbus with variants of weapons derived from the military M-16 is entirely laughable maybe dangerous. Sounds like an armed version of the Doo-Dah parade without the wit and humor. Accidental discharges – indeed
Wearing "camo" – what stupidity in that what are they hiding from to feel the need to camouflage themselves.
Betcha a very high percentage – upwards of 90, of these stylish gun-fops never carried a real assault weapon in combat or wore camouflage in combat in service to this nation.
If you never carried a "AR" M-16 based weapon in war and are prancing around downtown in your you warrior costumes, you are nothing more than a poseur pretending with a faux army gun to claim what you inherently lack. Most men gave up playing army in grade school. Those who served in combat know what it means to carry and use a lethal weapon.
If you want to parade around in camo and carry a real weapon of war – join up and learn to use combat skills to kill terrorists and defend this nation.
I think a lot of people going would agree with you. The goal of the demonstration per the page is to show that the majority of gun owners are reasonable people from all walks of life. The guideline for the demonstration is to ensure the goal is met…you are taking a guideline and attempting to point out that the majority of gun-owners are militant, camo-wearing idiots who will be firing off our weapons into the air to make our point. I suggest you go to the demonstration and speak with us before settling on that opinion.
"""Betcha a very high percentage – upwards of 90, of these stylish gun-fops never carried a real assault weapon in combat or wore camouflage in combat in service to this nation"". AND what's your point? Constitutional right apply only those who served in combat. Moron
Jor Dough
From my perspective that would be a terrific idea.
For the record, there is no U.S. Constitutional "right" to vote. Voting rights and procedures are largely a matter of state laws and rules. Since you don't know what you are blabbering about perhaps your right to vote should be suspended. Maybe you can get a grade-school teacher to read the U.S. Constitution to you. There are some big words in it you might not understand.
Anyway, I never suggested what you brought up and only pointed out what phonies the gun-fops with their "camo" and big bad faux army guns are, for the most part, weak-minded fellas with huge inferiority complexes who try to compensate for their inefficiencies by buying and brandishing a big gun to compensate for what Mother Nature did not give them.

I wonder what would happen if members of the Black Panther Party were to show up with weapons, like they often did in the 1960s.

Are they also being sponsored by a Nationalist group like the Gun Appreciation Day Group was?
http://www.facebook.com/jason.cenotti.3 Jason Cenotti
I went and no one sponsored me. In fact groups were formed from youtube pages to create this. Many small groups had different ideas like gun appreciation day. Regular people laid out money for the permit and porta potties in NY. It worked out well we all through a couple bucks to help pay for it. All this in just a couple of days. I drove for hours to be there. A lot of people did. I met quite a few that didnt even own guns showing support. Nutnfancy on Youtube, and guns across america. On facebook.

Ry Sullivan
Your a moron. A) No one is bringing their assualt rifles to the state capitals because you are not allowed (in most states) to open carry such weapons and concealing it would be harder. B) How come when pro 2nd amendment citizens rally, we are tone deaf but you make no mention of the anti constitution rallies scheduled on Monday… Martin Luther King DAY. People have the right to assemble which is also in the constitution (which you most likely never read) and if we sit back quiet, more of our rights will be stripped.

Tone deaf? Didn't realize they had to have majority support. Guess what Rosa Parks was gone deaf as well, but she was right.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
Clearly they don't have majority support as there were only 700 or so. Rosa Parks what?
"Because nothing says peaceful demonstration like walking around downtown Columbus with an assault weapon strapped to your back."
Yes, because peacefully walking around while carrying an inanimate object is SUCH a threat. This site is a joke. If you've never noticed in your life, the majority of Ohioans are very much in favor of the Constitution and especially the Second Amendment. If that offends your delicate sensibilities, then perhaps you should consider moving to a less Constitution friendly state such as New York? I hear they just instated yet more punishments for law abiding gun owners while still doing nothing about criminals – it sounds exactly like the type of place that you'd enjoy.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
There's "right" and then there's "right". Just because you can doesn't always mean you should.
That's a correct statement, but irrelevant to the issue at hand. You claimed that they were violent and threatening people by peacefully assembling while holding inanimate objects.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
Incorrect. I said militant. I never said violent of threatening. I still contend they could protest and exercise freedom of speech and assembly without firearms.
Again, just because you can doesn't mean you should.
No, in a comment to another person, you clearly said that they were being violent by carrying firearms.
" I still contend they could protest and exercise freedom of speech and assembly without firearms."
Yes, they could, but it wouldn't show that groups of people can go about in public with firearms without anyone being hurt. Also, notice how the police didn't try to intimidate anyone at these rallies? Any time unarmed people are protesting, they usually get harassed and threatened (sometimes assaulted even) by the police – yet the police left these people alone.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
Still incorrect. How you could turn that comment into me clearly saying they were "being violent by carrying firearms" speaks to an inability to understand plain English. I never said they were threatening people either. Some may FEEL threatened (and rightly so).
I've been to several rallies and protests at and in the statehouse and never saw threatening behavior by police toward unarmed civilians.
Bottom line I never claimed what you said I claimed. I'm glad the Cbus rally was without incident and still think their points could be made without carrying. Unless, of course, their main point of protest is to be able to have an AR strapped to their back at all times walking around in public – then it might be relevant.

First it is not actually his birthday, it's a three day weekend.
Second you wouldn't know an assault gun from chocolate cake.

First, there were events relative to MLK all weekend.
Second, I would indeed know the difference and I said assault rifle, not gun. I've fired them as well as various other weapons up to and including an M1A1.
Third, I mention Hitler signs because organizers of the event (not me) mentioned them in telling participants not to bring any.
Wrench Moran
MLK advocated for civil rights for African American. How is that any different than gun owners advocating their second amendment rights?
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
Look up the difference between civil rights and political rights and come back.
Please, explain how the rights of African Americans DON'T include 2nd Amendment rights.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
Learn English first and then I'll explain it fully to you. You obviously didn't do what I asked Wrench Moran to do.
Civil rights include the ensuring of peoples' physical and mental integrity, life and safety; protection from discrimination on grounds such as physical or mental disability, gender, religion, race, national origin, age, status as a member of the uniformed services, sexual orientation, or gender identity;[1][2][3] and individual rights such as privacy, the freedoms of thought and conscience, speech and expression, religion, the press, and movement.
Political rights include natural justice (procedural fairness) in law, such as the rights of the accused, including the right to a fair trial; due process; the right to seek redress or a legal remedy; and rights of participation in civil society and politics such as freedom of association, the right to assemble, the right to petition, the right of self-defense, and the right to vote.
Here ya go. Now…. since MLK advocated for BOTH for African Americans, you can get off of your high horse.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
You looked it up and you still don't see. Hilarious. You first tried to equate the struggle for civil rights under King with the protests about rights that haven't even been taken away today. There is no equivalence.
You see the difference yet?
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
For the record, I did not use the term "lunatic". brnhut did.
So I take it you have your gun out and accessible while fully loaded in your home Sfc? That would make it much more dangerous to you or someone in your home. It is certainly your choice to do so and that right is supported here as well as in the US Constitution. Nobody wants your guns.
Kids as props. You mean something like this? http://www.politicususa.com/remember-bush-children-political-props-veto-stem-cell-research.html
http://www.plunderbund.com/ Brian
"Timing"? Big events like this open policy windows. People want the problem of these shootings addressed. The NRA even suggested a policy change. *Everybody* does this; look at all the security state changes that came after 9/11. Or hell, look at our policy of exploiting unrest around the world to force capitalistic change on various countries (Poland, Chile, for example).
We appear to start from two very different viewpoints on the nature of humanity. It appears from your quote that you choose to believe humanity's nature is basically good, and simply discussing issues will bring people to a common understanding and mutually beneficial arrangement in regard to profit, property, and justice. While discussion should be a first choice, my belief is that humanity is basically rooted in selfishness and self-interest and there are some people with whom you cannot reason. Those cases need to be deterred from destroying others' wealth and family, and the ultimate deterrent is a threat against life. I choose to keep a weapon as a last resort against evil people, and choose the type of weapon because I should have the advantage against evil men. Not the other way around. This conclusion causes me to bristle against attempts to remove my defensive means and advantage against evil, because I believe my choice a logical one. Removing my defense because we are starting from different worldviews is immoral.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
I like this. Sounds reasonable enough to me. I also disagree with your underlying view of humanity. That said, your choice to defend yourself in the way you do under certain limits (well regulated and such) is fine with me.
Here's the rub though. This same attitude of "to each his own" is seldom taken on the right when it comes to other rights that seem obvious to those with an opposing worldview. Gay marriage. Abortion. Et cetera…
If I concede to you your point, is same returned to me? We, of course, also have to consider the general welfare as this was an underlying basis for the US Constitution to begin with.
I do like the way you've put this and I'm persuaded by it.
Agreement from logical progression on one subject does not assure agreement on other subjects! Perhaps we'll meet again…
MLK was a proud Republican gun owner.
http://www.plunderbund.com Eric
No. Please read the thread fully before commenting. This has been covered relative to gun ownership/use.
MLK as a Republican is a tired old line used by current wingnuts to mitigate their crazy. It's simply untrue to call Dr. King a Republican and it completely ignores historical context as I've pointed out before in this comment thread.

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — If you've had trouble getting a hotel room in Pullman, some relief may be in sight.
Washington State University has signed a lease agreement with an affiliate of Stonebridge Companies for the construction and operation of a hotel adjacent to the Pullman campus.

Dear Tea Party, Applaud Rand Paul
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has stepped up to the plate to fight reauthorization of the crony capitalist Export-Import Bank. I wrote yesterday that the Tea Party is losing on this issue despite the heroic efforts of Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) and other members who agree that the Ex-Im Bank is a high offense against free market capitalism. The Export-Import Bank was created in 1934 by FDR to facilitate trade | Read More »

Thats the Beth I know!
You won't be the only "kid" there - the age range is pretty wide for the group rides. It really is all about the bike!Originally Posted by Radiohead84
Velocity, ol' friend ol' pal!!! How's my favorite?Originally Posted by velocity
The Harrisburg Bike Club has a number of really nice ride for "beginners". My adult daughter is a beginner so we often go on these rides. They are great little rides with really nice people.Originally Posted by Radiohead84
The club web site says "Introductory Rides - This is that beginner's ride you've been looking for. Nice and easy, no one gets left behind, and all questions are welcomed along with new riders. These rides are perfect for families, with the kids on that bike seat or on their own bike. The Wednesday night rides always leave at 6:00pm and are 8-10 miles long at an 8-10 mph pace. They have resumed."
If you are an early riser there is also a Sunday Morning ride that starts at City Island and goes all around the city. Since it's before 8 am the streets are empty and you get a taste of riding in downtown. There is a breakfast at a local restaurant after the ride. We've been on this one too and it's a blast no mater how experienced you are or aren't.
Go to their web site and click on he newsletter archives to download the newsletter. All the details are in there.
Yo don't have to be a member to ride with us. You just need a bike and a helmet. Hope to see you on one of the rides.

There are all ages. My daughter who goes to the Wednesday Night rides a lot, is 24.Originally Posted by Radiohead84

One more ride to look out for is the "Greenbelt" ride. It's a big ride (hundreds of riders - many young). It goes around Harrisburg on a bike path called the "Greenbelt". It is really a fun day with snack stops and food at the end. Go to http://www.caga.org/tourdebelt/TourHome.html for details.Originally Posted by Radiohead84

thank you for all the info! I'll try and stop by a ride as soon as I can....Sadly..I hear it is suppose to snow on saturday and get quite cold for the rest of the week!Originally Posted by MikeR
Yes, we were planning to ride tonight (Wednesday), but they call for rain - and then a few days of cold. If it's nice next Wednesday we will probably ride then. I don't often get to the Sunday morning rides, but I like them.Originally Posted by Radiohead84
If you are a little faster there are rides out of Mechanicsburg High on Saturday and Sunday that I like.
Maybe I'll meet you when spring REALLY gets here. You'll know it's me - I ride a red Trek with wodden fenders and a bike license plate that says "Mike"

Yup, frequently - one of my favorite loops is out of Hershey thru Palmyra, Cornwall, Cornwall Furnace, up the mountain and down into Mt. Gretna. Depending on the group, an occasional breakfast ride with a stop at LaSorrelle is an option. Otherwise, it's out and back.Originally Posted by gretnabikes

Something we don't do enough of here at Bad at Sports is trumpet the successes of our various contributors.  It sort of happens piece meal, sometimes, but considering that the project is and always will be an artist run type thing – our collaborators are more then just the deep thinkers, aesthetes, and vulgarians you know them to be! Such is the case with our Tom Sanford and his new show at Kravets|Wehby in NYC.
"Café des Artistes†consists of 13 paintings. 10 paintings are images of notable New Yorkers and help define the cultural milieu of the city.
The show includes new portraits of Marcus Samuelsson, Diane Von Furstenberg, Walt Fraizer, Bill T Jones, Tina Fey, Woody Allen, Nicole Eisenman, Michael Bloomberg, The RZA,  & Jonathan Lethem, and they are featured along side three "New York Genre Paintings.â€

A Day for Detroit.
August 10, 2013 · Print This Article
From Modern Art Notes…
In an effort to spotlight the collections at the Detroit Institute of Arts that would be lost if the threatened sale of art in collections at the DIA are sold, all day long Modern Art Notes and many other sites will be spotlight art at the DIA. I'll be featuring roughly an artwork an hour for the next ten hours. I hope this will help  spotlight both the collection at the DIA and the access we have to Detroit's art. I think that the more people think about what's at the DIA, the more concerned they'll be about what could happen there.
How can you help support the DIA? Share artwork here on MAN and at other sites with your friends. If you live in Michigan, tell your elected officials that the future of Detroit is important to you and that you don't support a fire sale of the city's future. Best of all: Join me in becoming a member of the Detroit Institute of Arts.
To read more about what we're doing here, check out these stories in the Detroit Free Press and in the Detroit News.

Green Girl
Green Girl
Emergency Press, Paperback, 9780983022633, 268pp.
Publication Date: October 18, 2011
Green Girl is The Bell Jar for today—an existential novel about Ruth, a young American in London, kin to Jean Seberg gamines and contemporary celebutantes. Ruth works a string of meaningless jobs: perfume spritzer at a department store she calls Horrids, clothes-folder, and a shopgirl at a sex shop. Ruth is looked at constantly—something she craves and abhors. She is followed by a mysterious narrator, the voice equally violent and maternal. Ruth and her toxic friend, Agnes, are obsessed with cosmetics and fashion and film, with boys, with themselves, and with each other. Green Girl is about that important and frightening and exhilarating period of being adrift and screwing up, a time when drunken hook-ups and infatuations, nervous breakdowns, and ecstatic epiphanies are the order of the day.

The irregular flow intervals created foam and bubbles in the line, which required a next-generation flow meter solution. To address these issues, McCrometer recommended its FPI Mag flow meter.

Minneapolis is 7th most self-sustaining city
Minneapolis might be a city of hipsters and hippies riding bikes and creating compost piles, but we still can't beat out the bigger cities in the country when it comes to sustainability. According to the 2008 SustainLane U.S. City Rankings released today, Minneapolis is the 7th most self-sustaining city in the country. Portland, Ore. came in first. Minneapolis can only try so hard to compete with such a hipster mecca, but I think we come pretty freaking close. Did you read the Morning Must Reads today about people up in a fuss about composting?
Minneapolis is up from 10th place in 2006 to seventh in the latest ratings. The top 50 largest U.S. cities are judged on their ability to move toward preservation and enhancing quality of life, and the ability of the city to prepare for resource shortages from increasing gas, food and energy costs.
The survey looked at 16 economic, environmental and green/clean technology categories to judge their ability to maintain healthy air, drinking water, parks, public transit systems as well as farmers markets, renewable energy sources and green buildings.
Who else beat us out? San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, New York and Boston. And we were just blades greener than Philidelphia, Oakland and Baltimore.
For more details on the Minneapolis ranking compared to other U.S. cities, check out the full report here.
Now if only this report can correctly spell the name of our Green Messiah (Mayor R.T. Rybak, duh).

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Adrian Beltre hit a three-run homer in the first that held up for 15-game winner Derek Holland, and the AL West-leading Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 7-2 on Tuesday night.
Michael Young hit an RBI single in the third that gave him 200 hits for the sixth season and drove in another run in the eighth, Mike Napoli also singled in a run and Texas won for the seventh time in eight games and eighth in 10.
The first-place Rangers maintained their five-game division lead over Los Angeles after the Angels won 10-6 at Toronto. Reigning AL champion Texas is 12-5 in September.
Rookie Michael Taylor hit his first major league home run in the fifth — his 18th career at-bat — for Oakland's lone run against Holland (15-5), who won his fourth straight decision.

A normal September would see summer paving work winding down on the streets of Vancouver.
Not this year.
A lengthy project list in 2011, set back by cool, wet and often unpredictable weather during much of June and July, is now kicking into high gear with warm summer weather finally here. That will mean one of the busiest months of road paving Vancouver has ever seen, said Loretta Callahan, a city public works spokeswoman. Much of that work will begin in earnest later this week, and could continue into early October.
This year's slate includes repaving projects covering 4.3 miles of major arterials:
• Northeast Stapleton Road, from Northeast Fourth Plain Boulevard to Northeast 34th Street.
• Northeast St. James Road, from Northeast Cherry Road to Northeast Minnehaha Street.
• West 39th Street, from Lavina Street to Grant Street.
• Columbia Street, from West Eighth Street to West 15th Street.
• Southeast Bella Vista Avenue, from Southeast Cascade Park Drive to Southeast McGillivray Boulevard.
• East Mill Plain Boulevard, from Northeast 97th Avenue to I-205 overpass.
• Northeast 97th Avenue, from East Mill Plain to Northeast Second Street.
Callahan noted that any repaving project happens in three basic stages: surface preparations, grinding/paving, then striping and any other finishing touches. If motorists find a street torn up in the next month, they should know it won't stay that way for long, Callahan said.
Crews will start paving Stapleton and St. James roads as soon as next week, according to the city. The entire list of arterials could be resurfaced by the middle of October, weather permitting.
All of that work is part of the city's $5.75 million Pavement Management Program, which also includes more minor chip seal and microsurfacing projects. Much of that work was completed earlier in the summer. Improvements to water and sewer systems are ongoing in the Fircrest neighborhood, and the city's Eastside Water Line Project will mean repaving the south lane of McGillivray between Southeast 136th and 164th avenues.
Drivers should expect lane closures, possible delays and detours in work areas during the coming weeks. Construction hours are generally 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, according to the city.
Paving work may, however, be postponed or rescheduled if the rain returns.

Adding to the issue I had beetween my local and online installations with Yarpp which was due to a conflict with the Podcasting plugin, I had another issue.
Localy, the keywords inserted in the yarpp_keywords_cache table were fine, even with accentuated characters in the keywords.
Online, I realized, looking at the table, that keywords were cut just before an accentuated character, hence the keyword "vidéo" was stored as "v" ...
Tracking the outputs in the different functions of the yarpp plugin, I discovered that I had to replace line 11 of keywords.php :
$wordlist = mb_split('\s*\W+\s*', mb_strtolower($source))
$wordlist = mb_split('\s*\W+\s*', mb_strtolower($source , get_option('blog_charset')));
Hence specifying the encoding. Weird because I thought on the moment 'mb_regex_encoding(get_option('blog_charset'))' was doing the encoding stuff and it looks like it works on my local WP and not online.
I noticed my local installation on XAMPP is PHP 5.3 powered and online it's still 5.2.10.

D.C. is looking at a $45 million surplus for the current fiscal year before the numbers turn negative in the face of uncertainty over the federal budget, according to new revenue estimates generated by Chief Financial Officer Natwar Gandhi.
D.C. Councilman Jack Evans, chairman of the finance and revenue committee, said the welcome surplus for fiscal 2012 doesn't last long. In fiscal 2013, Gandhi is projecting a $69 million deficit — and the budget hole grows to more than $100 million by 2015.
Gandhi briefed Evans on the new projections Wednesday. Mayor Vincent Gray and Council Chairman Kwame Brown also will be briefed (if they haven't already) before the projections are publicly released in the form of Gandhi's quarterly letter to District leaders.
That letter will explain why the CFO is betting on a surplus in FY 2012 (and what could screw it up before the end of the fiscal year). While we don't have the specifics yet, there are existing documents that note the upward trend. The monthly D.C. Economic Indicators report for December, for example, predicts a 5.9 percent increase in overall revenue in 2012 — most coming from upticks in individual income, sales and real property tax revenue.
The indicators report projects a 6.5 percent decline in deed tax revenue in 2012, a sign of a slowing commercial real estate market, following a 40.3 percent jump in 2011.
"I think the good news is once again the economy in the District remains robust," Evans said. "The estimates are clearly increasing. For the short term we're in good shape. In the long term it depends on the Congress's ability to get things done."
Evans also got a shot in at the District's neighbors, both of which have unfunded pension liabilities in the billions of dollars: "We're one of the strongest financial entities in the country, and unlike Maryland and Virginia our unfunded pension liability is zero," he said. "If I didn't fund the pension this year, I'd have a surplus of $700 million."
Sure, you could grill another hot dog. Or, you could try one of these 30 recipes for foods you never knew you could cook on the grill.

Intel Sources: Gazan Informants Intercepted by Hamas During War
Intelligence bodies to examine claims that classified info used carelessly, leading to Israeli losses.
Intelligence organizations in Israel will examine claims that classified information was used carelessly during the fighting in the Gaza Strip, supposedly leading to the loss of intelligence "assets."
Senior army sources told Haaretz that the use of the intelligence was necessary in order to save the lives of soldiers who faced obvious danger during an operation, but added that the subject is one that needs to be examined in an extensive and orderly intelligence investigation of the type that normally takes place following an operation of the magnitude of Cast Lead.
During the recent fighting, and following it as well, Hamas executed several dozen civilians. Some of those killed were members of rival Fatah, but others were not politically affiliated.
It appears that in most cases Hamas suspected that their victims had collaborated with Israeli intelligence.
However, it also appears that there were cases in which Hamas gunmen took advantage of the chaos in order to settle old scores with Fatah rivals, even if the excuse was as flimsy as seeing them smiling in the street, or appearing to express satisfaction at the Israeli offensive and the damage it caused Hamas.
Palestinian sources said that Hamas gunmen shot and killed civilians, and in other instances shot and wounded them in the legs "on the spot and without asking questions."
Among those killed were Fatah members who were spotted in the vicinity of Hamas installations bombed by the air force, and who were carrying cell phones, and could not satisfactorily explain what they were doing in that particular location at that time.
In one case, which was widely discussed in the Strip, Hamas gunmen kidnapped a civilian from his home, tortured him, and ripped out his eyes, because they suspected he was an Israeli agent. The man was returned to his family, but several days later the gunmen returned and murdered him.
During the fighting, various Israeli security organizations prided themselves on the close interaction between the different intelligence bodies, and the removal of all obstacles in the flow of intelligence from them to units in the field.
To a large extent, intelligence during the operation was managed from the field headquarters of Southern Command, with the elimination of all the restrictions imposed in the past, which often prevented effective use of information.
This allowed an accelerated process of putting information into action, whether though the targeting from the air of a group of militants who had just launched a rocket toward Israel, or in quickly assisting ground forces in jeopardy.
Brigade and battalion commanders who operate in the field were very impressed by the fact that the Shin Bet security service and Military Intelligence could warn them with great precision of developments in their proximity.
However, it appears that these achievements had some problematic implications.
Sources at Southern Command and in MI claim that intelligence-gathering personnel both at the Shin Bet and MI were frustrated that in a number of instances, operations officers failed to adequately protect a source of information - namely Palestinian agents.
According to one source, a number of agents were "intercepted" by Hamas during the operation because the intelligence they provided was used carelessly.
"The approach of the commanders was that, this is war and there is no room for caution now," one of the sources said. "One argument was that everything needed to be done in order to preserve the lives of soldiers in the battlefield - that the security of the soldiers came before the security of the informant. But we also heard a different argument, which said that what we are now doing is 'killing a lot of Arabs,' and therefore details like protecting those who are working for us are less important."
According to a former senior intelligence officer, the disagreement reflects a permanent sort of tension between intelligence officers and operations officers, which peaks during periods of high-intensity fighting.
"It is natural for 'controllers' to be concerned. They need to protect the person who is working with them. But sometimes the higher-ups have other considerations, like protecting the forces in the field, and they decide differently. In any case, these are the sort of arguments that require in-depth examination."
They Shin Bet declined to respond to the claims. However, senior officers at Military Intelligence denied that the claims were accurate.
Missing Ja'abari
It was also learned recently that Israel had tried, at least on two occasions, to assassinate the head of the Hamas military wing, Ahmed Ja'abari, during the Gaza offensive.
In one instance, the air force dropped two one-ton bombs on a building where Ja'abari was believed to be hiding with a group of militants. One of the men was killed, but Ja'abari emerged unharmed.
In another case, Israel had intelligence that Ja'abari was in an urban compound that included 10 homes. Because it was not certain that the target was at the location, a decision was made not to attack, even though some urged a strike in spite of the potential for collateral damage that such an attack would entail.
Unlike Ja'abari, another senior figure in the Hamas military wing, Mohammed Deif, who had been seriously injured in two assassination attempts on him in recent years, avoided taking any significant part in the recent fighting.
It seems that Deif did not entirely recover from the massive injuries he suffered during the prior Israeli attacks.
Most of the senior Hamas figures hid in a bunker - which had been built by Israel - under Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, as well as in bunkers under the buildings housing foreign delegations, such as that of Qatar.
Hamas also made use of other buildings Israel left behind during the unilateral withdrawal from the Strip in 2005: nearly 100 public bomb shelters that had been built in the settlements of Gush Katif were not destroyed by the IDF during the disengagement. The shelters were used as arms depots and hideouts for militants.
During Operation Lead Cast, the IDF and the Shin Bet killed approximately 20 commanders of the Hamas military wing, who held positions ranging from company commander to brigade commander. Israel also killed three of the organization's top 10 leaders - in both its political and military wings: Nizar Riyan, Said Sayyam and Salah Abu-Shreikh.
During the two years that marked the peak of the second intifada (2002-2004), Israel killed the largest number of important Hamas leaders, including Ahmed Yassin (founder and spiritual leader of the group), Abdel Aziz Rantisi (Yassin's temporary successor), Ibrahim Maqadmeh, Salah Shehadeh, Ismail Abu-Shanab and Adnan al-Rul.

PARAMUS, N.J. -- As Justin Tuck signed autographs for a toy drive, several fans told the defensive end to beat Dallas on Sunday night.
One even screamed, "Let's beat the Cowboys this Sunday!" as he walked by in Garden State Plaza.
"I love it," Tuck said.
If Tuck can get his teammates to bring that kind of energy and desire in the remaining four games, the New York Giants likely will be playoff-bound.
When the Giants (6-6) want to play with passion, fire and fight, they can play with anybody, anywhere. They took the undefeated Green Bay Packers to the last play of the game in a 38-35 loss that injected the team with confidence and swagger. And they won at New England last month with the same kind of mentality.
The Giants, who have lost four straight games since the Patriots victory, know that if they get their heads straight, they can beat Dallas (twice), Washington and the Jets -- their remaining opponents.
There are plenty of playoff scenarios, but if the Giants win their remaining three division games, that would put them in the playoffs.
"If we go out there and play with the intensity and emotion that we had this last Sunday, man, those teams are in trouble," safety Antrel Rolle said on his weekly spot on WFAN. "Those teams are in trouble."
"I can't help but notice the fight we had as a team," Rolle added of the Giants' play against the Packers. "We fought for a full 60 minutes, which is something that I can't say we have done all year, to be honest with you."
The Giants are one big mystery. They love to turn the emotion switch on and then off, and there's no explanation as to why this happens. The Giants can go into New England and one-up Tom Brady, then come out flat at home against hated rival Philadelphia.
"I have spent a lot of lonely nights in my house wondering that same exact question," Tuck said when asked why the Giants can't consistently bring the same energy and effort that they did against Green Bay. "I am telling the truth. I didn't get a lot of sleep [Sunday night], and it wasn't because we lost to Green Bay."
"I am always looking beyond what it is, as far as physical or mental. Physically, I think we can play with anybody in the country. Mentally, we sometimes have those lapses. Why? I don't know. I am just as guilty as the next guy."
The Giants can point back to losses to Washington, Seattle and Philadelphia in which they came out less than inspired, and it cost them dearly.
Tuck and Rolle admit that sometimes even fiery players arrive to the stadium flat on game days. Rolle said there are times when he comes out flat -- and he is one of the more animated, fiery players on the roster.
"You just don't have that spark some nights," Tuck said. "Some nights you got to mind-trick yourself. It is tough sometimes. That is what you got to do; it is hard to get up every Sunday when your body is beat up.
"It is kind of like Groundhog Day. I know a lot of people can't understand that. They say, 'You make a million dollars to play a game,' but it is what it is."
The Giants say they don't need any Jedi mind tricks to get them to understand what's at stake Sunday night. They know their playoff destiny is in their hands again. Last year, they squandered it with crushing losses to the Eagles and Packers.
Now they can do something about their playoff fate again. And if the Giants suffer another collapse down the stretch and miss the postseason for a third straight year, Tuck just might need some professional help.
Trying to figure out the Giants can do that, even to a tough, 6-5, 274-pound defensive end whose team lost 49-24 in New Orleans, then came within seconds of stopping Green Bay.
"I know the Saints are a great football team, but no one will say the Saints are better than the Packers," Tuck said. "So how do we come out one week and play like we did [against the Saints] and then come out this week and play like we did? And two weeks ago, played like we did against Philly?"
"It doesn't make any sense to me. Do I need to go see a shrink?"

The commercial gill-netting allowed in the Columbia River is destroying the salmon and sturgeon. Thousands of us protest it and by your own photos last month with the aerial picture showing just a small portion of the people who are affected by these nets. Sportsmen contribute thousands and thousands of dollars back into the community by fishing, and what does the commercial boat spend? Little to nothing. It is a part-time job for them to make a fast chunk of change in a few days, certainly nothing like the Discovery Channel television show "Deadliest Catch."
Recently commercial fleets entered the Columbia River sweeping their nets clear across the river from the mouth to Beacon Rock and bragging about this success. After this fishing fleet of more than 100 boats is done, the salmon run this fall will be over.
We never know how much these boats catch, but sports fishermen are held accountable for their fish limit. These gill-netters belong in the ocean, not fishing this primitive style in the Columbia with modern technology.
