Skip to comments.Rampage Shootings: It's the Moral Decay of Society, not Guns
Posted on 12/15/2012 6:05:49 AM PST by Kaslin
It should come as no surprise that the rate of mass shootings at schools and in other public places is increasing. The surge has nothing to do with guns, which have been widely available in the U.S. for years. Gun control laws have been increasing. Instead, there is a direct correlation between the increase in violence and the gradual degradation of morals, ethics and parenting. We are cultivating mental illness in our society.
Parents are allowing television and video games to increasingly babysit their children, even though both have become full of gratuitous violence. A New York Times study of rampage killers found that six of them were into violent video games. Research shows that violent video games and television desensitize people and promote aggressive behavior, despite claims to the contrary. A research scientist at the University of Michigan found that television was responsible for 10% of youth violence. Parents today are neglecting their children, and when things don't go well, rushing to get divorced instead of trying to work things out first. Children suffer emotionally when their parents fight or split up. Parents are ignoring their children so much they don't even see the warning signs that something might be wrong. The New York Times study found that 63 of 100 rampage killers had made threats of violence before the event.
Parents are no longer taking their children to church, where they would learn stability and morals. Fewer than 20% of Americans now regularly attend church. Every year there are 3000 fewer churches across the U.S, even though the population is growing. God and morality have been taken out of the public schools and replaced with political correctness and non-judgmentalism. Public virtues are no longer taught in today's schools. People who do not attend church are more likely than churchgoers to have stress and to be less optimistic about the future. When parents split up and there is no father to take the children regularly to church, the children are much less likely to become regular churchgoers than if their mother regularly takes them.
The New York Times study found that at least half the killers in 100 rampage attacks showed signs of serious mental health problems. 48 killers were formally diagnosed with mental illness, often schizophrenia. The mentally ill used to be kept in hospitals, where they were not a danger to others. Beginning in the 1950s in California, the ACLU successfully filed lawsuits to take the mentally ill out of hospitals, known as deinstitutionalization. By the 1980s, most state-run mental health hospitals had closed.
Now, most of the mentally ill are out on the streets or in prison. The laws have been changed to state that the mentally ill cannot be hospitalized until they've already attacked someone. As a result, more mentally ill people are incarcerated than in hospitals, with the seriously mentally ill three times more likely to end up behind bars than hospitalized. More than half of all people in prison report that they have mental health problems, and more than 40 percent of the seriously mentally ill have been in jail or prison. A study at the University of South Florida found that the highest users of criminal justice and mental health services were 97 people who had been arrested 2,200 times. It is ludicrous that those 97 people are not contained for their safety and others in mental health hospitals.
The 22-year old Oregon shopping mall gunman who killed two people earlier this week is sadly typical of the rampage murderers the decay of society has spawned. He had this written on his Facebook page, "I'm the conductor of my choo choo train. I may be young but I have lived one crazy life so far." One of his friends said he raised himself; his mother died at childbirth, he never met his father, and he left his aunt's home at age 14.
The left will use the high level of emotion stirred up by this past week's two rampage killings to push through new gun control laws. Liberal New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called upon President Obama to enact tougher gun control laws immediately after Friday's mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut. Yet demanding more gun control laws will not solve anything. Gun control advocates have already increased the number of laws around the country requiring background checks, waiting periods for purchases, and tracking of firearms. Many of the rampage killers obtained guns illegally. If they can't obtain guns, deranged individuals will find other ways to commit mass murders by setting fires, making bombs or running people over with vehicles. One day after the shootings in Connecticut, a man in Beijing stabbed 22 primary school students with a knife.
The left should not be allowed to dominate the dialogue after these tragic events with a red herring argument for gun control, in order to sneakily distract Americans from blaming them for what they have wrought. Americans who believe in traditional values must speak up and denounce the degradation of society's morals as the root of the problem behind these rampages, or the tragedies will continue to escalate.
Kick God out of schools, and Satan moves in.
And non of the liberal teaching staff was packing.........
Hope the school district was paid up on their insurance
And never will, the goal of dem and libs is not to keep our children safe, but to take away freedom.
Call of Duty
Gears of War
Medal of Honor
The most popular games in the nation are free-for-all shoot em ups.
The Walking Dead
GI Joe
Many anime titles
Some of the most popular movies and TV shows are full of violence and gun use.
And dont get started on graphic novels, 90% of which are riddled with violent imagery.
So how about we institute a clampdown on the 1st amendment for Hollywood? Seems fair. Kids today seem to see violent death as entertainment. Shouldn't Hollywood "give up" some of those freedoms to "save" them?
I'm old enough to remember when life meant something in this
country. Now,it's become disposable.
I have a nagging question I heard on Denver talk radio after Columbine: "Why do things like this happen just after a UN anti gun push?"
no, it's not that either.
I see the moral decay when SKULLS are a major decoration and a popular toy (even Christmas decoration) is of a fictional character that killed small children in a school: Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in STAR WARS III
"Rampage Shootings: It's the Moral Decay of Society, not Guns"
Absolutely corerct; however, the Democrats can't be seen to address the moral decay of society, since they have a vested interest in that decay of society.
Indeed, the active effort to generate that very decay incorporates several key planks of their party's platform.
Much easier to deflect blame from themselves for a society rotten at its core and attack firearms.
The worst part of it all is that the Republicans let them get away with it.
Quentin Tarantino can produce a two hour gorefest, receive critical acclaim and be held entirely unaccountable for violence in society. Sarah Palin need only use the word 'target' in some campaign literature and she becomes a Moriarty-like criminal mastermind.
Bad morals in school had nothing to do with this loon who devised a way to pay a ghastly visit to a school.
I view this as an unashamed neanderthal. There ought to have been somebody there, and preferably lots of somebodies there, who were able and willing to do the common sense thing when this loon began to attack, and make his first shot his last one. That public safety issue being taken care of, then it's possible to worry after the fact about how a loon managed to get into the school. And nobody would be blaming the weapons.
Life is not "special" to the LIBs. Given their lust for abortion and that the LIBs (aka communists) killed over 100,000,000 individual;s in the 20th century, I guess life is nothing to them. They are guilty they are alive, have tremendous guilt about that and therefore self-loathing, but are too weak to kill themselves. Oh, what a world we live in.
Ah, perspective is so fickle.
Children are being taught that they are not responsible for their failures. If things arent right as they approach their adult years it is the actions of their parents, teachers, siblings and society in general, never their fault. Liberalism personified. Counselors want to know about their childhood past instead of their present and future. What is wrong with, "sounds like you had some tough times, but that was then, this is now"?
I doubt skulls influenced this loon, however.
I'm sure there is a long line of social services types who encountered this maladjusted freak and tip-toed on by. God forbid someone be judged.
>Now, most of the mentally ill are out on the streets or in prison. The laws have been changed to state that the mentally ill cannot be hospitalized until they've already attacked someone.<
Just walk down a crowded street in one of the larger cities and you will see people who obviously need help, but who refuse to seek that help. In many, many homes there are older children, many of them adults, whose parents would give anything to get them the help they so desperately need.
Our system is so broken. There are those who would take the rights of the vast majority to self-defense, in order to ignore the fact that depriving desperate families the power to get help for their deeply disturbed sons (and some daughters), dooms us to see this nightmare repeat again and again.
While rampage killing may be on the increase, the overall murder rate is still going down.
It must be remembered the event occurred in Connecticut. There is no moral decay there, there is rot. The status is long past the decay condition.
Rather than complain about gun control there should be cries for disassociation. America in the red zone should begin to consider such rotted morasses for purging from the union.
Its Obamas fault. His illegal position as POTUS for four years is one thing, the outright theft of the election has unhinged many people, all it takes is a catalyst.
And you cannot reason with evil, this shooter may nave no grudge against any person, no he just felt bold, reckless and suicidal while harming others, exactly as if he became a Moslem.
I myself blame Obama and his Muslim infiltration upon our culture.
>>The worst part of it all is that the Republicans let them get away with it.>>
You're right.
I would not call this a rampage shooting, it would be more accurately classed as an attack on authority.
I remember reading one book looking at what school shootings had in common. The three main things were age and gender of the gunmen (between 16-24), History of mental illness (generally schizophrenia and suicidal depression), focus on violence as proof of manhood.
These attacks have much in common with workplace violence in that they are attacks on the immediate symbol of authority in the shooters life.
I agree completely, plus I would like to add it's also the fault for the ignorant voters that voted for him to elect and reelect him
It is the mentally ill who are responsible for many of these recent shootings. It is time for common sense laws to keep these people off the streets and guns out of their hands.
Well, this may be excessive splitting of hairs. The reason, as perceived by the loon, for the rampage doesn't mean the loon did not rampage.
At any explanation, normal societal conventions failed. So more drastic measures are needed.
Our youth are being indoctrinated to accept Islam so its logical to believe that eventually they will behave like Moslems, and start killing targets of opportunity.
Video games don't only promote violence they teach kids how to really shoot. A friend of mine went on different shows talking about this, how they actually use some form of video games to train police and military.
And let's not forget the music, vile violent lyrics that send an evil message. This generation is buried in violent media.
We need to get away from the idea that people who slaughter little children are suffering from a "mental illness". They do not have a mental illness, they are suffering from a spiritual illness. Call it spiritual death actually. This is not a problem with the mind as much as it is a problem of the heart.
America, along with the rest of the planet, has seen fit to relegate God to the level of irrelevance and what we see is not the result of some faulty brain synapses, but basically we are witnessing EVIL in action.
It is people who lack the human spirit who can perform such monstrous acts and we are cultivating these monsters by steering the children of our nation and world away from the foundations of our forefathers faith.
God has been evicted from the schools and the rest of our public life. Is it any wonder that Satan has come in to fill in the gap.
Call me crazy but this POS was probably demon possessed. If he was not demon possessed, then he was completely without any human soul. He had somewhere surrendered his spirit to the powers of darkness and it was his choice to do it.
At the time of this rampage he was not a human being. Human beings have hearts. Monsters and demons lack any such characteristic.
As we drift further and further from God as a nation and as individuals, this is a harbinger of things to come.
I hate to sound like a lunatic, but right now the only word that I can think of to say is:
Pretty much sums it up.
Pretty much sums it up.
These kind of shootings, ARE the fault of SOCIETY, and NOT the fault of the law-abiding American.
"No rod, no staff, all life becomes a laugh."
I remember, as a boy, I "dood it", and I "got it". "Dood it" no more.
I remember when I was in Basic Training, and they could touch you (gasp), but I didn't "dood it", but some did ... THEY "got it", but became better for it.
Yes! I was stunned at how popular gangsta rap from the 90s was still popular with kids even though most of the singers are now middle-age men living in mansions counting their cash, and acting on bad reality TV shows.
And their filth music is still infecting people that weren't even born back then.
Now we ban guns from schools; we boot G-d out of school, and abortion is discussed and practiced everywhere. Now people are shooting up schools, not to mention malls and other targets of opportunity.
Notice any differences?
Agree with the basic premise of the article (moral decay in society, breakdown of the family, rejection of God in the classroom....etc), however, it has been reported that Adam Lanza was "Autistic", or had mental problems by his older brother.
Assuming that is true, could this boy have been at greater risk of committing this crime because of added factors involving a combination of prescriptive drugs? This is not, in any way intended to offend any parent who has bravely cared for an autistic child. However, in the past 30 years, the use of prescriptive drugs for treatment of everything from "ADD" to other "labels" applied to every childhood behavior has skyrocketed.
Certain anti-depressants have been correlated to increased risk of violence and suicide. Exposure to our modern culture in combination could further increase these risks.
Just curious as to whether Adam Lanza was medicated and if so, what he was prescribed.
When I was young kids who were in the 'gun club' would carry their weapons to school - and you'd see them in the hallways walking with a rifle... No one ever thought they would shoot their fellow students.
It was a different time.
What made it different?
We've had guns in this country since the country was founded. But we haven't had liberal 'values' taught by union teachers. We didn't have liberal 'values' pushed on TV and in movies... And we didn't have kids drugged out by antidepressants and other brain altering drugs. Mucking with brain chemistry at this time in our understanding is something that should be done with great care.
I believe all of these school killers have been on anti-depressants.
To some of the 'more learned' here at FR, social conservatism is as evil as Obamunism.
Days like yesterday ought to convince us otherwise. We turned our backs on God so we should not wonder why we are falling into the abyss.
Allow me to suggest a notion that's been cooking in my brain for some time now.
1. It is acknowledged by all that Islamics are able to recruit suicidists for their dirty work specifically to create terror for the express purpose of changing society, i.e., to advance the Islamic cause.
2. It is acknowledged by many conservatives that "Fast and Furious" was a nefarious government operation by gun haters specifically designed to advance the cause of gun control in the USA. In that plan, the intent was to secretly give guns to criminals in order that gun crimes be committed, and then the gun haters controlling government could point to those crimes and boldly proclaim "We need gun control!"
3. It is a matter of fact that the institutionalization of marginally insane and insane people is much harder to accomplish under current law.
4. It is also reality that our coarsened society glorifies in all forms of print and media horrendous acts of violence, immorality, and degradation of human beings. The effect on marginally sane people cannot be positive. Would it push people over the edge who in more moral times would have had the restraints of a moral society pushing them in more positive directions.
5. It is also reality that each instance of gun violence results in days/weeks of media coverage and "fame" for the perpetrator of the violence. They are instructed in the means to commit mass murder, they are shown the horror they can cause, and they are shown that they receive both instant and some kind of historic recognition.
6. Should our media culture and its glorification of these acts of violence not be questioned about their participation in possibly pushing marginal sane/evil persons over the edge?
7. Finally, would not this process play into the hands of those who promote the disarming of its citizenry?
Total nonsense. 99.99% of people who play those games and watch those movies/shows don't kill anyone. There have always been, and will always be crazy people. What video games were Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, etc playing? Are you sure it wasn't heavy metal ...or maybe Elvis?
I would say we have more rampage shootings because the media has increased the coverage of such events to push their agenda of gun control.
We've always have had psychos. Now we have psychos watching the increased coverage of the shootings on TV and it makes them more likely to plan and carry out their own.
And don't forget cRap music. Hos, drugs, sex, and killing, it's all there, even if you can't understand the words.
I bet you're right.
Liberals systematically cleansed America's "white-bread" Christian culture and the void has been filled. Like the Soviet Union, it can not abide by a character of freedom, inspiration, life and love. It's the opposite; upsidedown.
Although America respected the nature of males and females; liberals hate it.
Although America respected the self control and common sense of high character, Liberals hate and punish it. They promote instant gratification and moral realitivity.
Although America derived pleasure and security from tight families, liberals hate families...likewise adorable human babies.
Although America had and honored a constitional Republic, liberals demand communism.
Although America was set up to respect each person's bill of rights, liberals name us a collective without individual rights. They despise the nail that sticks up in excellence; love the nail that sticks of immoral and deviant.
Although most Americans turned to God for strength, Liberals demand they turn to them and government.
On and on...every aspect of humanity, culture and society has been tuned upsidedown.
Just down the road from Sandy Hook is a closed State institution where they did have crazy people incarcerated back till the late seventies. Beautiful buildings and campus all empty now.
A very good analogy. It is the exact thing that the liberals are suggesting doing to the 2nd Amendment.
The big difference is that the only one that would have any positive effect on reducing the violence would be an assault on 'Hollywood' 1st amendment rights to distribute filth.

Firefighters knew exactly where to go when they received a report of a house fire on North Douglas shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday. The flames were visible from the roadway and from across the Gastineau Channel.
Almost every Capital City Fire/Rescue firefighter responded to the "all call" out over the radio to help fight the blaze, located just past mile three of North Douglas Highway in the 6300 block.
A Juneau grand jury issued six indictments on Friday. According to copies of the indictments, they are as follows:
• Carl M. Liberty, 24, was charged with one count of first-degree vehicle theft for an offense Aug. 15, 2014. That's a class 'C' felony, which carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison.
The state of Alaska overhauled its retirement system to save costs in the mid-2000s and forced state employees out of a defined-benefit pension plan into a new 401(k)-style defined contribution plan.
Legal questions surrounding the change have now reached the Alaska Supreme Court.
Three justices of the high court traveled to Juneau Tuesday to hear grievances about a former state worker who, due to the law change, would be prevented from receiving the same level of retirement benefits as before if he returned to state employment.
A Juneau man was sentenced Monday to serve eight years and four months in prison for multiple counts of possessing and distributing child pornography.
Juneau Superior Court Judge Philip Pallenberg imposed the prison sentence for Jeremy S. Deach, saying he was troubled by the large amount and graphic nature of the images and videos and by the uncertainty as to whether Deach has ever molested children before.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has revoked a local gun shop owner's federal firearms license.
Additionally, the wrongful death lawsuit against Raymond L. Coxe, owner of Rayco Sales, has been postponed amid allegations he hid crucial evidence from attorneys.
Coxe is accused of illegally selling firearms "off the books." In 2006, one of the guns at his store was later used to kill a man in Juneau.
Juneau police said Monday they are still looking for a driver who crashed a pickup truck into a Jeep Cherokee in the valley Sunday night and fled the scene on foot.
At about 6:24 p.m. Sunday, the Juneau Police Department received multiple reports of a head-on collision at the Mendenhall Loop Road and Stephen Richards Memorial Drive intersection.
Stage actors are used to the drama of dealing with last-minute issues that arise before the curtain goes up.
Having their costumes and props stolen, though, is usually not one of them.
Someone broke into Perseverance Theatre in Douglas on Tuesday night and stole stage carpenter tools which, it's believed, were then used to break into the cafe next door, according to police and the business's owner.
The District Attorney's Office in Juneau says it is looking into allegations that a Village Public Safety Officer used a Taser on two boys in Kake upon their request.
Juneau District Attorney James Scott said his office is reviewing the case to determine whether criminal charges should be brought against the officer. He said his office received the case from Alaska State Troopers on Tuesday, and that a charging decision should be made in the coming weeks.
"We got it, we're looking into it, and the investigation continues," Scott said by phone Thursday.
A 24-year-old Juneau man who flipped a brand new Camaro while speeding through a busy intersection in the Mendenhall Valley was sentenced Wednesday to three months in prison for seriously injuring his passenger in the crash.
The attorney for a family bringing a wrongful death lawsuit against Juneau gun shop owner Ray Coxe is accusing him of hiding "crucial evidence," such as prior audits and firearm sale violations, and giving false testimony in the case that is set to go to trial in less than three weeks.

C.W. Driver has completed construction on the newly renovated Storm and Nasatir Halls at San Diego State University.
The $73 million project included a 100,000-square-foot renovation and a 30,000-square-foot expansion of the existing buildings, which were built in 1957.
The scope of the renovations included the removal of hazardous materials, surgical and mass demolition, and structural upgrades.
The upgrades assisted in meeting current health and safety code standards as well as correcting deferred maintenance issues, improving water and energy conservation.
New code-compliant HVAC systems were installed, and technology and electrical upgrades such as new fire alarm and security systems, along with new elevators, ramps and site work was done.
The LEED Gold project, designed by LPA Inc., offers upgraded technologies for eight academic departments, faculty offices and research laboratories.
Also, implemented into the project during construction was site recycling and waste management systems, utilization of recycled materials, enhanced commissioning, and water-efficient plumbing and landscaping.
To improve the building's energy efficiency in the two buildings, new lighting and ceiling systems were constructed with energy-efficient glazing systems.

Massacre of Aleppo (1850)
|Aleppo massacre
|Aleppo, Ottoman Syria
|17 October - 5 November 1850
Attack type
|Mass murder, looting, bombardment
|20-70 from riots
5,000 from bombardment
Aleppo Massacre (Arabic: قومة حلب, Qawmat Ḥalab) was a massacre committed by Muslim rioters against the Christian neighbourhoods of Aleppo on 17–18 October 1850. The massacre resulted in tens of deaths including the Syriac Catholic Patriarch Peter VII Jarweh.
The events created a power vacuum in the city that was filled by the Janissary faction who instated their own government. The Ottomans were able to retake the city killing thousands in the process.
As the Ottoman Empire weakened in the 19th century, restrictions on Christians were eased under the auspice of European powers. Uniate Armenians and Melkites were officially recognised as Millets in 1831 and 1848 respectively. 1839 reforms allowed Christians to build new Churches which was previously prohibited. The newly formed municipal advisory council provided the Christian with an opportunity to make their voices heard.[1]
Trade with Europe boomed and merchants who were mostly Christians and Jews prospered from it.[1] On the other hand, poor Muslim population of the city were badly hit by inflation resulted from foreign merchandise which flooded the market. There was also discontent among them at the ease of restrictions on Christians which they perceived to their traditional superiority and Muslims sought to halt building of new Churches without much success.[1][2] Aleppo had also a strong Janissary faction which was also dissatisfied with the government since its disbandment in 1826.[3]
When the Greek Catholic patriarch Maximos III Mazloum was carried in a procession through the city with much sumptuous, Muslims saw this as a sign of nigh Christian domination of the city. celebratory fire during the festivities gave rise to rumours that Christians were arming thmenselves.[4]
Following the first Ottoman census of Aleppo's male population, rumours spread that the authorities intended to conscript adult males. On 17 October 1850, a crowd marched to the governor's office in protest and demanded that no conscription takes, the tax on Muslims be abolished and public processions by Christians prohibited. The governor feared for his life and fled to the Ottoman barrack outside the city walls. Frustrated, the mob turned their anger at the prosperous Catholic quarter of Al-Jdayde. Newly built Churches and homes were looted and burned and around 20 Christians killed. Many Christians found refuge among Muslims in the commercial district.[3][4]
Further violence was averted when the leader of the janissary faction promised to deliver the mob's demands to the governor.[3] A dozen more Christians were killed the following days. However, loss of life was kept relatively low due to prompt intervention from European powers and local Muslim notables.[4]
Aleppo was calm within a week, absence of a governor led the mob to create a government headed by a local Janissary leader. The rebellion ended when Ottomans used British artillery to bombard the city destroying several quarters and killing more than 5,000.[5]
The damage to Christian property and morale was high. Ottoman records show that 688 homes 36 shops were damaged. 6 churches including the Greek Catholic patriarchate and its library were also partially destroyed.[4] The events lead hundreds of Christians to emigrate mainly to Beirut and Izmir.[3] The patriarch of the Syriac Catholic Church Peter VII Jarweh was fatally wounded and died a year later. His patriarchate was permanently moved from Aleppo to Mardin.[6]
Around 600 were arrested and punished by drafting or exiling them. Little of the looted property was recovered.[4]
As a result of the 1850 sectarian violence and its consequences Muslim community of Aleppo was less inclined to attack Christians during a wave of anti-Christian violence in 1860 that swept Syria.[5]

Tips Series: Top Five Tips for a Budget-friendly Disney VacationBy Contributor • Apr 1st, 2011 • Category: Family
Here is todays post on Save Money Tips
Disney World is a much sought-after destination for family vacationing. However, with all of the activities and sights to see at the Magic Kingdom, the bills could pile up as high as Space Mountain. Even with the tightest wallet, a family of four could spend thousands to see Cinderella's Castle. If you and your family are planning a trip to Disney World, saving every penny will allow you to see more parks and spend more time in the Kingdom. A budget-friendly Disney vacation can be yours – and these five tips can help make that a reality!
Tip #1: Go for the package deal.
Millions of people visit Disney World each year. So, of course, Disney has a number of package deals available to help make your stay more convenient. Many people opt to instead stay in other non-Disney hotels, plan budget meals, and so forth, but the truth is that you can save a lot of money by simply making your trip centered on Disney. The packaged deals they offer really do help you save money.
Tip #2: Compare your travel options.
Some families choose to drive instead fly when going on vacation. However, with gas prices through the roof, this may not be the best option. It depends on a number of factors including the efficiency of your car, the distance to Orlando, the size of your family, the ages of your children, and the time of year during which you plan to travel. If you have a small family, want to travel during the off-season, and live far from Florida, heading to the airport may be your best choice.
Taking a train or bus to get to Disney World is another option many families choose. A bus or train is a great choice if your children are older and you live within a reasonable distance from Orlando. The key to finding the best price is to research and compare options. If possible, also work with a travel agent to find the best prices in a package deal or group discount. If you want to make the most budget -friendly choice for your Disney World vacation, be sure to explore every travel option before packing your bags.
Tip #3: Check into Disney Club prices for accommodations.
Some families visit Disney World more than just once, and, if your family qualifies, being a member of the Disney Vacation Club can save you money. This club is not equivalent to owning a timeshare with Disney, but you get "points" for your membership, which can then be redeemed at any one of their many club resorts, which are only available to club members. It is important to note that this is not a real estate investment. It is simply a way to save money and make the most of a Disney World vacation if you live nearby and plan to travel to the Magic Kingdom more than once..
However, even if you don't have the resources to do that, the Disney Club may be able to help you. Points expire after a certain period of time, so if a member cannot make it to Disney, it is possible to sell the points. Once you purchase these points, Disney accommodations become available for a reduced rate! Do your research, and, if the points can help you save, buy some for your family vacation.
Tip #4: Buy a meal plan and eat off-site for the meals not covered.
Food is expensive in the Magic Kingdom, and, you are not permitted to take your own food into the park. If you plan to spend the entire day exploring Disney World's parks, you will most likely dine at them as well. While time may fly when you're having fun, hunger does not, so consider one of Disney's meal plans, which is part of the vacation packages they offer. With the meal plans, you pay one set price for a certain number of dinners and snacks per day. That means you can get more for your money! Another option is getting your hand stamped and leaving the park for lunch. Orlando does have some great family options that are less expensive than food in the park itself. So, perhaps this would be the best option for your family.
Tip #5: Buy Disney Dollars online.
Disney Dollars are exchangeable at a 1:1 rate, but only in Disney itself. You can use them for most souvenirs and food in the parks, as well as in some non-park stores. Many people like to buy Disney Dollars to give their children a "Disney allowance" for items at the park, which is a great idea. However, if you buy them online ahead of time, it is possible to save some money. Because Disney Dollars cannot be used anywhere else or exchanged back to regular dollars, people who have them left over usually sell them for less than a 1:1 rate.
Disney World can fill your imagination but it does not have to empty your wallet in the process. There are many affordable options you and your family can take advantage of in order to place this vacation in your price range. Do your homework, do some research, and you should be able to find a Disney World option that works for best you. Above all else, have a great time, and enjoy your stay in the Magic Kingdom!

Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris. In Naked, Sedaris turns the mania for memoir on its ear, mining the exceedingly rich terrain of his life, his family, and his unique worldview-a sensibility at once take-no-prisoners sharp and deeply charitable. A tart-tongued mother does dead-on imitations of her young son's nervous tics, to the great amusement of his teachers; a stint of Kerouackian wandering is undertaken (of course ) with a quadriplegic companion; a family gathers for a wedding in the face of imminent death. Through it all is Sedaris's unmistakable voice, without doubt one of the freshest in American writing.
About the Author
David Sedarispublished this book to support 826NYC, a nonprofit tutoring center in Brooklyn, New York that helps students ages six to eighteen develop their writing skills through free writing workshops, publishing projects, and one-on-one help with homework and English-language learning.

This post was updated on October 11, 2015 to reflect information from Wingstop's 2015 FDD (Item 7).
Detailed Estimates of Wingstop Franchise Costs Based on Item 7 (Estimated Initial Investment) of Wingstop's 2015 Franchise Disclosure Document
1. Development Fee: $10,000
- The only initial investment under the Development Agreement is the development fee. You currently pay a $10,000 development fee for your first Restaurant and development fees of $10,000 for each additional Restaurant you commit to develop under your Development Agreement.
2. Franchise Fee: $12,500 – $20,000
- You currently pay a $20,000 franchise fee for your first Restaurant, and the then current franchise fee for each additional Restaurant, developed under the same Development Agreement. Wingstop's franchise fee for additional Restaurants (after the first one) developed under the same Development Agreement currently is $12,500.
3. Rent: Amount Not Specified
- A Wingstop Restaurant occupies approximately 1,200 to 3,000 square feet of leased space, typically in an in-line (strip) shopping center in an urban or suburban commercial area.
- Your investment could be substantially higher if you decide to buy property for your Restaurant or lease space in an enclosed mall or similar high-rent facility.
4. Security Deposits: $2,000 – $8,000
- Landlords typically charge a security deposit equal to one month's rent and also may have site lease deposits that vary according to location.
- Utility and other companies typically charge security deposits that vary by locale and in relation to the customer's credit history.
- Insurance companies may require deposits or prepayment of premiums.
- Some of these security deposits will be refundable depending on your agreement with the landlord or the utility and other companies.
5. Site Survey Fees: $2,500
- The site survey fee represents the cost of the professional field investigation of the proposed lease space or freestanding building. It also includes complete documentation and applicable drawings.
6. Architectural/Engineering Fees: $5,000 – $14,000
- The architectural/engineering consultant's fee portion represents the cost of plans and specifications when using Wingstop's approved architectural and engineering consultants.
- The high-range charge will apply if the agency from which you obtain your building permit requires additional engineering for the Restaurant.
7. Permit Expeditor Fees: $1,200 to $2,500
- The permit expeditor fee represents the cost to submit the plans and specifications to the local agency for the building permit.
8. Professional Fees: $1,500 – $4,000
- Professional fees are for attorneys, accountants, or other professionals from whom you seek advice.
9. Leasehold Improvements: $55,098 to $325,991
- The high and low amounts reflect estimated leasehold improvement costs without any landlord tenant improvement allowances factored in but do include a 10% contingency fee (of the total estimated cost) for unexpected cost over-runs, delays, etc. (Not all franchisees receive tenant improvement allowances).
- Although Wingstop expects all projects to fall within the indicated range, as it continues to expand to higher cost markets, its experience with these costs could change significantly.
- Wingstop may require you to upgrade, remodel, and refurbish the Restaurant during the franchise term. These changes might be based on the standards and specifications then in place for new Wingstop Restaurants.
10. Business and Operating Permits: $1,000 – $3,500
- In addition to a health department permit, you must obtain a permit to sell beer and wine.
- The low range assumes your Restaurant is located in a "wet" area and that you can obtain a "beer-only" permit. The high range assumes your Restaurant is located in a "dry" area and that you must establish a private club to qualify for an alcoholic beverage permit.
11. Decor Package: $990 – $6,500

The province of a functional kidney test, in my mind, is not so much to determine the diagnosis in a particular case as it is to prognose the sufficiency of the supposedly healthy twin organ. Often the precise nature of the kidney lesion can be definitely diagnosed without recourse to the estimation of the renal function—witness the skiagram in nephrolithiasis, palpation in conjunction with the other physical and clinical findings in renal tumor, etc. Moreover, it is often absolutely unimportant, from the point of view of treatment, to determine by functional kidney tests the extent of involvement as to sufficiency or non-suffciency of a kidney, the seat of such diseases as calculus, sarcoma, hypernephroma, surgical tuberculosis, etc. The paramount question to be decided is the unilateral or bilateral involvement of the organs and above all the functional integrity of the presumably healthful kidney. It is seldom that the functional test,

NEW YORK - Maybe it's time for Andre Agassi to pick on someone his own age. These kids just can't keep up with him.
Fit as a rookie at 34, Agassi advanced at the U.S. Open on Thursday by running ragged a player more than a dozen years younger for the second straight match. Then he made perfectly clear this will not be the final tournament of his career.
Agassi, playing in his 19th straight Open, weathered a one-set blip, regained control, and led 7-5, 2-6, 6-2, 1-0 when Florian Mayer walked to the net to quit with a left hamstring injury.
"I just don't want to play old. That's what I'm concerned about out there," said Agassi, the most, ahem, experienced man in the field. "I feel like if I can still play my tennis, then I'm proud of that."
He got off the court before a rollicking evening at the National Tennis Center that included Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova's being extended to three sets again, Venus Williams' struggle against a qualifier who hadn't won a main-draw match until this week, and Olympic double gold medalist Nicolas Massu's wild 5-hour, 9-minute loss to Sargis Sargsian.
And just to add to the day's wackiness, both reigning French Open champions were sent home: No. 4 Anastasia Myskina and No. 9 Gaston Gaudio. So were U.S. Olympic semifinalists Mardy Fish and Taylor Dent.
Williams joined sister Serena, No. 20 Chanda Rubin and wild card Angela Haynes to put four black women in the Open's third round for the first time.
The 10th-seeded Massu was docked a game for smashing his racket so hard off the court it flew over his head, then engaged an official in a 10-minute argument, and wound up getting beaten 6-7 (6), 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4 in the second-longest match, by time, in Open history. Sargsian will play Paul-Henri Mathieu, who beat No. 21 Dent 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (6) in a mere 3:17.

As you can tell, I don't do much posting but thought I might share this with those who are interested.
I've had my NC for almost two years and it's only been within the last 3-4 months that I've started having problems with the charger. NC is out of warranty so I knew I was going to spend $25.00 for a new charger. While I was at Walmart today, I checked in the electronics section to see if they could "possibly" have a charger and lo and behold there was ONE just waiting for me to buy at the price of $16.95!! And yes, it was a Nook Color/Tablet charger!! [I had checked the Walmart website before and didn't find it so maybe they've just started carrying it]. Anyway, the charger was at my local Walmart Super Center so for a savings of $8.00 you might want to check there also if you're in need of a charger.
I just checked and my NC has charged 10% in about 20 minutes. I'm so happy I could cry!!!
Thanks for the info....and a laurel to you!
Thanks for the tip. I'll checkn the next time I go to Walmart.

Different cognitive processes underlying voice identity perception in humans may have precursors in mammals. A perception of vocal signatures may govern individualised interactions in bats, which comprise species living in complex social structures and are nocturnal, fast-moving mammals. This paper investigates to what extent bats recognise, and discriminate between, individual voices and discusses acoustic features relevant for accomplishing these tasks. In spontaneous presentation and habituation–dishabituation experiments, we investigated how Megaderma lyra perceives and evaluates stimuli consisting of contact call series with individual-specific signatures from either social partners or unknown individuals. Spontaneous presentations of contact call stimuli from social partners or unknown individuals elicited strong, but comparable reactions. In the habituation–dishabituation experiments, bats dishabituated significantly to any new stimulus. However, reactions were less pronounced to a novel stimulus from the bat used for habituation than to stimuli from other bats, irrespective of familiarity, which provides evidence for identity discrimination. A model separately assessing the dissimilarity of stimuli in syllable frequencies, syllable durations and inter-call intervals relative to learned memory templates accounted for the behaviour of the bats. With respect to identity recognition, the spontaneous presentation experiments were not conclusive. However, the habituation–dishabituation experiments suggested that the bats recognised voices of social partners as the reaction to a re-habituation stimulus differed after a dishabituation stimulus from a social partner and an unknown bat.

Eighty-three patients with portal hypertension have been evaluated for the incidence of abdominal inferior vena caval hypertension and the occurrence of a decreased glomerular filtration rate. Portal hypertension was usually accompanied by caval hypertension since both reflect an advanced stage of liver disease. The portal hypertension was always greater than the caval hypertension and some portal decompression will be achieved by a portacaval shunt. The caval hypertension was associated with both abnormal glomerular filtration rate and death from renal failure in these patients with portal hypertension. The caval hypertension, alone, and in combination with other humoral and hemodynamic changes, appears to contribute to abnormal renal function in cirrhosis.

A commercial court on Tuesday decided to end the near 85-year-old saga of a troubled French refinery by rejecting final bids to save it, saying that the proposed business plans were simply not strong enough.
"Unfortunately, the investors have not been able to eliminate all the ambiguities and doubts in the offers. As a consequence, the court had no choice but to reject the offers presented today," works committee lawyer Jean-Pierre Valentin told reporters.
The Petit-Couronne refinery said in a statement that lay-offs of the 470 staff would start "in the coming days".
The medium-sized plant in Normandy has been under pressure to find a new owner for more than a year after its Swiss owner Petroplus filed for bankruptcy in January 2012.
Placed under insolvency administration in October, it became a symbol of France's struggle to try to keep industrial sites running in the face of a stagnant economy and stiff global competition.
Several unions had raised the possibility of nationalisation for the Petroplus site in recent months but the government has said it would only be prepared to take a minority stake alongside a buyer with a firm base in the sector.
In a statement, Industrial Renewal Minister Arnaud Montebourg and Labour Minister Michel Sapin said the government had "taken note" of the court decision, and vowed to support the staff, while emphasising that "all possible means" had been made to try to find a buyer.
The statement added that "nothing could have been worse" than an unsustainable solution.
Outside the court, protesters cried "nationalisation" and carried banners that read: "No to the death of refining".
Although dozens of smaller industry players had shown interest in buying the plant, none were able to present sufficient evidence that they had the capacity to turn it around and make it profitable again.
In desperate attempts to find a solid owner, the court had postponed the offer deadline a total of eight times.
The two final bids came from Panama-registered NetOil and Libya's Murzuq Oil.
None of the sector's key players, such as ExxonMobile, Total, BP or Shell made offers however, as margins within European refinery operations are considered to be low owing to fierce competition from imported products.
Yvon Scornet, spokesman for a joint union initiative, said "it takes 15 million euros ($20 million) worth of crude oil per day to feed a refinery like ours and 400-500 million euros to make the necessary investments on the site".
Opened in 1929, the Petit-Couronne plant outside Rouen was sold to Petroplus in 2007 by Anglo-Dutch company Royal Dutch Shell.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- The family of a former University of Tulsa football player who was killed in an unsanctioned boxing match is accusing the Oklahoma church that put on the exhibition of negligence.
The Tulsa World reports that the family of George Clinkscale III filed a damages lawsuit against Guts Church of Tulsa seeking damages in excess of $75,000 plus punitive or exemplary damages.
The 24-year-old Clinkscale, who lived in the Dallas suburb of Cedar Hill, died after a boxing match on Sept. 21 that was held in the church's parking lot. He reportedly began cramping during his match and died later at a hospital.
The suit lists as defendants Guts Church pastors William and Sandra Scheer and holds them accountable for Clinkscale's death.
Guts Church didn't immediately respond to emails sent requesting

I've purchased the Avisio theme. I would like to use the same theme for one of my other websites as well. Does that mean I have to pruchase an additional regular license?
I read the following on the ThemeForest site:
"Your use of the Work is limited to a single application"
So it seems that I should buy an additional license. I just would like to make sure from you.
Yes you're allowed to use Avisio for one website/web adress. If you want to use it for other urls/projects, etc. you need to buy a second license.
Thank you in advance.
