5 Ridiculous Things Adults Do Thanks to Peer Pressure
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
According to a dozen videos I watched in high school, peer pressure will/did ruin my life and made me butt chug heroin-laced vodka and snort all the marijuanas ever. I typed this article from my hospital bed. All teenagers are the devil.
But peer pressure doesn't end when high school ends; it just grows up, like all the high schoolers who didn't die as a result of peer pressure, and then becomes a softer, more subtle brand of douchebaggery we call social pressure. It's not even your peers doing it to you anymore, it's society. Society! That's everyone together, even shitheads and awesomeheads. The only time you'll even realize you're being victimized by it is when you feel stupid doing something and then, after you do it, stop to consider why you felt stupid and realize that you only did it because you felt you had to. Damn you, society!
#5. Congratulating People on a Baby
David Woolley/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Sometimes when a man and a woman ask me to leave the room, a baby is made, and nine months later I'm asked to leave the room again. This happens frequently and it's fairly mundane. There are currently 7 billion people on Earth, and somehow we still act like this is a remarkable feat. One needs only look at Octomom to start losing appreciation for the skill required to pass a human through a vagina (you keep your Caesarean comments to yourself).
If someone at your workplace or in your group of friends announces in front of you that they're having a baby, you're going to have that moment when congratulations are delivered. Some are probably very sincere -- maybe you really think the fact that they humped successfully is cool, I'm not judging. I'm just suggesting that, for most people, this congratulatory expression is the result of being made to feel like you need to, rather than any real sentiment. Because really, what did you do? You boned without the aid of birth control and biology worked. There are life forms on Earth right now that can change sex in order to reproduce, and others that can reproduce all alone without even finding a partner. No one congratulates them, so how is your effort more worthy of praise?
Realistically, people should congratulate you when your child turns 18, contingent on the kid not being a piece of shit. If you have and raise a child who becomes a good person and the world is better for having him in it, then you get congratulated on a job well done. Congratulating people on a baby is like praising a chef for buying beans and a ham only to have him serve you ham-and-bean-crusted turd kabobs.
#4. Liking Pop Culture
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
Nothing is more hinged upon fads and social pressure than pop culture. Magazines, TV shows, and websites make a living telling you what is awesome and trying to convince you who is cool. Remember when Lana Del Rey was on SNL? Had you even heard of her before then? Of course not. She also sucked miserably, but probably half of you know her name now because she was put in a spotlight and people pretended she was cool.
On a smaller scale, this happens all the time in your social circles and places of employment or schools. Remember Titanic? Remember when it was (un)cool to be the person who paid to see it 100 times? Every town had that one mental case on the news who'd seen Titanic more times than they'd been hugged by a family member. It was both sad and weird.
The current fad du jour is the Harlem Shake. Take a look and see how many businesses and schools have uploaded their own Harlem Shake videos to partake in the fun. There's literally dozens if not hundreds by now, and each one is blissfully ignorant of the fact that no one likes the Harlem Shake. It's awful and all those videos are awful. And when you make the 50th version of a video that's exactly the same as the previous 49, it makes it, according to science, awful. Science hates you now.
Interestingly, this becomes even more fanatical when it's something that an even larger part of society doesn't like. For instance, look at Beliebers. "Belieber" is a portmanteau in which the "ieber" is from Justin Bieber and the "bel" is from the Judeo-Christian demon Belial, and it means "worthless." Feel free to Google which parts of that I made up. Beliebers are rabid defenders of Justin Bieber to the point of insanity. Like literal, smearing shit on the walls and hooting coded messages at their own genitals insanity. Is there any reason why you, as a fan of a musician, should send death threats to a person who speaks ill of that musician? Or someone who wins an award instead of that musician? Not really, but a shit-ton of them do it all the time. Because they've entered into this crazy, self-supporting zone of "true fandom," and everyone else is doing it so they might as well do it too, and who knows, it might even end up trending on Twitter! OMG!
#3. Hating Pop Culture
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
On the flip side of our pop culture flapjack are the sexy, syrup-cupping hate divets. People really like hating things that are popular to hate. Like Nickelback. Nickelback could be the best band in the world right now and I'd have no idea because I hate Nickelback. In fairness, I started hated them after that song "Photograph," which had lyrics on par with the rantings of someone dying from exposure to industrial cleaner and swamp gas fumes, but maybe they've evolved since then. Maybe Nickelback is just cranking out the phattest tunes ever now. But the fact is, everyone still makes fun of them, and I'm happy to join in because everyone assures me they suck and I have no desire to take the time to find out if they're wrong.
It's trendy to hate on things. In fact, it's a lot easier than liking things, because those Beliebers I mentioned are, as I said, insane. They get secondary hate sloughed off of Bieber. But hating something is not only easier, it's more fun. How many Cracked articles make jokes that rely on positivity? Making fun of stuff allows for way more cool jokes than praising it. Look at the fun descriptive words in my columns from 2013 alone: "Creepiest," "grossest," "dimwits." In fact, my only rejected article was "The 16 Most Sexy, Charming, and Intelligent Fans of Felix Clay Articles," in which I detailed how awesome you guys are, but editorial felt it wasn't edgy enough and that no one reading would believe that you're all really that charming and sexy and smart, even with all the links and photos I had to back me up. Oh well, I tried.
Making fun of something popular like Bieber, or Star Wars, or American Idol is to the Internet what apple pie is to America. It's delicious and you can fuck it. But more than that, it's representative of the wholesome roots of the population as a whole. It's what keeps us all going. More so the mockery than the pie. If pie keeps you going, you probably have a lot of trouble breathing, and you're likely to start sweating before this article ends.

If I could associate a word with each of the letters S and H, it would make it easier for me to remember which is which. Even if the words were German, that would be very helpful.

NIAGARA FALLS – A city man was in fair condition at Erie County Medical Center today after he was shot late Saturday in the 2200 block of Ontario Avenue.
Earl McCray, 20, suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder and was disoriented after the shooting, police said.
McCray's mother, Dana, said friends and family members drove her son after the shooting to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, where they tried to enter through doors near the old emergency room. They were denied entrance through those doors, Dana McCray said, which led to confusion when her son first arrived.
Police said McCray also was unable to provide much information on the 11 p.m. shooting.
McCray was initially treated in the emergency room at Niagara Falls Memorial, then taken by ambulance to ECMC, where he was immediately taken into surgery. He was recovering today, , according to hospital staff.
Witnesses led city detectives early Sunday to the shooting scene, where they found a spent 12-gauge shotgun shell and blood. Police were told that the shooting, later identified as Rashuan L. Abrams, 27, of Ontario Avenue, and McCray had an ongoing dispute.
Abrams was charged at 4:30 a.m. Sunday with first-degree assault and second-degree menacing. He was held without bail until a City Court appearance Tuesday.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Head coaches usually don't like it when their assistants get criticized, and after Saturday's historic 63-14 blowout loss at Ohio State, Penn State defensive coordinator John Butler has been a focal point of critics.
"That's a bunch of crap that he's taking heat," O'Brien said Tuesday as he defended Butler.
O'Brien seemed unaware that Butler, in his first season as defensive coordinator, has been receiving criticism from fans on Internet message boards and from some media.
The Buckeyes piled up 686 yards on Penn State's defense, the most allowed in program history, and the Nittany Lions were torched for 63 points, the most since 1899. Furthermore, PSU has allowed more than 40 points in three straight games for the first time since 1899.
"Saturday night was not the defense's best night," O'Brien said. "Let's call it like it is."
The coach did acknowledge some issues, including communication problems and that "there are some things our players need to do better." But he outright dismissed the notion that Butler deserves the blame.
"As far as John Butler taking heat, I don't know from who, but John Butler is a hell of a football coach," O'Brien said. "John Butler is our defensive coordinator, works his tail off, the kids respect him. He's doing a hell of a job.
"I don't care what the scoreboard says or what the yardage says, this guy is our defensive coordinator. He's my defensive coordinator. I'm proud to coach with him."
Safety Jesse Della Valle also stood up for his defensive coordinator.
"I think I speak for every player on our team when we say we respect him and what he does for our team," he said.
In trying to shield Butler from criticism, O'Brien did what many head coaches do. He blamed himself.
"If anybody should take heat, it's Bill O'Brien, not John Butler," he said. "I don't know where that's coming from, but hopefully that will get squelched."
O'Brien is known as an offensive-minded coach, and he's also the offensive coordinator, so one might wonder how involved he is with the defense overall and the defensive coaches.
"I meet with them every single day, seven days a week, two or three times a day, and we're in constant communication during the game," O'Brien said. "You have a headset on that can switch over between offense, defense, and that's what you have. So we communicate all the time."
SUBHD: Offense also to blame
While the defensive meltdown in Columbus received most of the attention in recent days, the fact that Penn State's offense struggled against an Ohio State defense that had not been playing well was largely overlooked.
The Lions had to know that the Buckeyes, who came in averaging 45 points, would be able to score a lot. To compete against a team like that, PSU's offense has to keep the pressure on by frequently getting into the end zone.
A big turning point in the game came on Penn State's opening drive when, on third-and-5 from the 12, quarterback Christian Hackenberg was intercepted in the end zone. The Lions missed out on any points, and they rarely challenged the Ohio State defense the rest of the night.
O'Brien calls the plays, so again he took the blame for the struggles.
"It falls upon me," he said. "I call the plays, and certainly, you go into a game like that and you're playing an offense that's very good, that scores a lot of points, you've got to score points. So I look in the mirror.
"Yeah, there's certain things that certainly, some of the players obviously could have played better in a game like that. But that starts with me, and the whole game starts with me as the head football coach. Nobody understands that better than me."
O'Brien said one focus for the coaches moving forward will be to "simplify" things for the players, although he didn't elaborate on ways to do that.
"We have a lot of good players on both sides of the ball, but I think we just need to let them go play," the coach said.
SUBHD: Competition for jobs
Left tackle Donovan Smith is in danger of losing his starting job as he's listed as OR on the depth chart along with Garry Gilliam.
That's one of 13 OR listings on the three-deep depth chart, so clearly the coaches are challenging players and keeping the competition open for starting jobs and key backup spots. The other notable OR is at defensive end between Deion Barnes and Anthony Zettel.
Asked about Smith, O'Brien said, "I don't want to get into the specifics of how I think he's played, but what I do think is you have three tackles there that have all done a decent job. You have Adam Gress, Garry Gilliam and Donovan that have had their bright spots and had their not-so-bright spots. So we've made that a very competitive situation this week, and that's why you see the ORs there."
SUBHD: Amos at CB
Adrian Amos moved from safety and played primarily at cornerback on Saturday, and that appears to be his position going forward.
"Adrian right now is best suited to play corner, and I think that gives us our best secondary back there," O'Brien said.
SUBHD: Not a good bye
The Lions have had two bye weeks, and both times they got blown out in their next time game (44-24 at Indiana, then at Ohio State). O'Brien said the coaches will study that during the offseason.
"I believe that we've had two good practice weeks during those bye weeks, but obviously that didn't translate into playing well," he said. "I think when the season's over, we've got to sit down and research what we did there, maybe ask around as far as what other people do."

Is this just sour grapes from the losing side, or could this argument be valid? I find this article interesting. I don't know how I feel about this.
QUOTE: A list of closely contested state elections with no voter ID, which narrowly went to Obama include: Minnesota (10), Iowa (6), Wisconsin (10), Nevada (6), Colorado (9), New Mexico (5) and Pennsylvania (20). This amounts to a total of 66 electoral votes. When added to Romney's total of 205 electoral votes, that would give Romney 271 electoral votes, enough votes to win even without Ohio or Florida
DEBATE: Is this a valid condern for republicans? Should Romney demand a recount based on this? Is this simply coincidence brought to light by bitter conservatives?

NORTH TONAWANDA – The old, unused bocce court at Pinewoods Park on Christiana Street got Rich Andres thinking it would make a good place for people to ice skate.
Last week, it started making the move from think to rink.
City workers began setting it up by extending a water line, so that when the weather gets cold enough, the bocce basin can be filled with water and freeze.
Eventually, Andres, the Common Council president, would like to have benches.
"Hopefully this develops over time," he said. "I think it's going to be the best ice rink in the city. We'll just see if we get any cold weather."
The Pinewoods' rink will replace the one at Felton Field. That rink had been behind the police station, but its liner had worn out. The expense of a new one, about $3,000, was too much for the city.
The bocce court, with its berm, Andres realized, could hold water for ice without a liner. And, the Christiana Street park, near the Twin Cities Memorial Highway, is a more visible place and may attract more skaters.
When and if a freeze comes, he plans to give the new rink a try even though, he said, "I can't stand up too well on skates." More importantly, he said, "I always thought it was a shame to have a beautiful city park go unutilized for a few months out of the year."
Alexandra, 9, the daughter of City Clerk Treasurer Scott Kiedrowski, told her father she was excited by the idea of the new rink and learning to skate with friends.
"She's just starting to get into ice hockey," he said. "It is really for the kids to get off the computer and get away from the TV."
For Matt Jones, 21, a new, free outdoor rink would encourage him to go out and teach kids to skate. As a regular who plays hockey once a week at the Hyde Park rink in Niagara Falls, he's noticed there aren't that many places to skate outside anymore.
The flooded field on Payne Avenue where he learned to skate with his friends is now a Walgreens. "Unless they make their own rink in their backyard," he said, "there's no place to go out and just enjoy being outside and having fun with your friends and family."
The warm winter last year added to the problem. When he went to check out Ives Pond in the City of Tonawanda, he couldn't find any ice solid enough to skate on.
If there's ice on the new Christiana Street rink, he said, "I would definitely go there all the time and check it out and maybe teach some of the younger kids to skate the way I was taught."
Even though December has been mild so far, Jones is optimistic about the winter ahead.
"I just hope maybe in January we'll have a deep freeze," he said. "I'd really like to get back out there and skate around on outdoor ice again."

ERIE - The Curve have the Eastern League's worst record. They don't score much. And they strike out a ton.
The pitching and defense have been good, but offensively this is turning out to be the worst-case scenario to start the season.
Altoona dropped its fourth straight game Friday night to Erie, 6-3, at Jerry Uht Park and fell to 11-17 overall. The offense belted two home runs, but that accounted for all the scoring as the Curve collected just five hits.
The Curve's team batting average dropped three points to .226, last in the league by a wide margin. The everyday lineup has thee players hitting below .185 - outfielder Alex Dickerson .183, catcher Carlos Paulino .172 and shortstop Gift Ngoepe .128.
The Curve struck out 17 times Thursday against Akron, and after a leadoff single by Andy Vasquez to start Friday's game, the next five hitters struck out. Altoona finished with 11 strikeouts, making it 28 over a two-game stretch.
Erie scored twice in the third and twice in the fourth off Ethan Hollingsworth (0-2). It was 5-0 before Matt Curry belted a two-run homer in the seventh inning, and Jarek Cunningham hit a solo shot in the ninth.
Fact Box
the bases
LEADING OFF: RHP Stolmy Pimentel will take the second-best ERA in all of pro ball to the mound tonight for the Curve. He has a 0.30 ERA, allowing only one run in 30 1/3 innings. John Gast for Triple-A Memphis allowed his first run of the season Friday and has a 0.26 ERA.
SAFE AT FIRST: Former Curve C Ramon Cabrera was promoted from Erie to Triple-A Toledo on Friday. Cabrera was leading the Eastern League with a .351 average and was sixth with 20 RBIs.
STEALING SECOND: Former Curve RHP Derek Hankins was promoted from the SeaWolves to Toledo earlier this week. Hankins was 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA in three starts. He had a 1-1 record, with the loss coming to the Curve.
ROUNDING THIRD: The Curve are now tied for the EL lead in team ERA at 3.79. New Hampshire pulled even with Altoona on Friday.
HEADING HOME: Along with the worst record and worst team batting average, the Curve are last in the EL in hits (208) and are tied for the lowest amount of runs scored (96).
The Curve had beaten Erie starter Patrick Cooper twice already, but the right-hander had a solid outing Friday to earn his first win. Cooper (1-2) gave up two runs on three hits in six innings, striking out six with three walks.
Erie leads the Western Division with a 15-11 record, while the Curve have dropped five games back by losing four in a row and eight out of 11.
Game recap
Key player: Erie SS Eugenio Suarez went 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
Key play: DH Tyler Collins gave the SeaWolves the early lead and put pressure on the struggling Curve offense to have to come back with a two-run homer in the third inning off Ethan Hollingsworth.
Key stat: The Curve have the worst record in the EL at 11-17 and the worst team batting average at .226.
How they scored
Bottom 3rd: Fields struck out, reached out on Hollingsworth wild pitch, scored on Collins two-run homer (0-2).
Bottom 4th: Johnson reached on forceout, scored on Lemon single (0-3); Suarez triple scored Lemon (0-4).
Bottom 6th: Gaynor struck out, reached on Sanz wild pitch, scored on Suarez single (0-5).
Top 7th: Santos walked, scored on Curry two-run homer (2-5).
Bottom 8th: Lemon doubled, scored on Sanz balk (2-6).
Top 9th: Cunningham solo homer (3-6).

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Things are looking up for the Durango High School instrumental music program, but progress doesn�t come cheap.
Two years ago, the student marching band had fewer than 10 members, and the rolls of other groups like the concert and jazz bands were equally sparse. This year, the second under Director of Instrumental Music Katherine Reed, there has been an explosion of popularity; more than 50 students now play in the three ensembles, and Reed expects the number to keep rising. It is the largest the band has been in eight years.
�What I�ve been going through is massive growing pains,� Reed said.
She�s not complaining, but there are realities to such growth. It means there�s a need for more instruments and more travel expenses � in short, they need more. The young musicians will help themselves Monday night with a fundraising dinner and concert at the school.
�I�m very pleased with how it�s come together � the students have been preparing for months,� Reed said.
The evening will feature a sit-down dinner served by members of the student orchestra and concert band. They will then perform a concert conducted by Arkady Fomin, maestro of Conservatory Music in the Mountains, who is flying in from Dallas to work with the students for several days. The jazz band will play during dinner, joined by local impresario and Fort Lewis College instructor Jeff Solon, who has been working with Reed�s students for several months.
�My take is that with the new director, it was rekindling from a low point,� Solon said. �I thought there�s no reason in Durango that music shouldn�t be outrageous in the public schools, so I lent a hand to see how it went. It�s a labor of love, and I want to support jazz.�
Solon is able to spend time with the students because of three grants from local organizations. The Durango Instrumental Boosters Club is a group of more than 20 parents who wrote and secured the grant funding from the Durango Friends of the Arts, the Durango Foundation for Educational Excellence and the Fort Lewis College Foundation.
�The Booster Club took it up on their own, and it makes it a lot easier for me to do it, but I�d be there anyway,� Solon said.
Solon composed the centerpiece that the jazz band will debut Monday: �Kat�n Around.� The band also will perform the piece at its upcoming competitions this year and next. The title is a nod to Reed, of whom Solon is a big fan.
�She�s doing great, and I can�t say enough about her. The kids adore her and she�s amazing at recruiting. It�s her personality that�s turned it all around,� he said.
Reed said the immediate fundraising goal is about $5,000, which would cover the cost of sending the orchestra on a big trip to play with and compete against other bands from around the country. She�s eyeing San Diego or Chicago for the first road trip. There also is a cost of $1,000 to $2,000 for maintenance on instruments and a need for more, especially lower-register instruments like tubas, string basses, cellos and violas and saxophones.
Reed welcomes donations of instruments as well as the money to pay for them.

The Wings also will need a backup goaltender. Osgood would like another season in the role, but the club is wary because he suffered repeated setbacks after undergoing groin surgery in January.
The injury is a major concern, Holland said. He hasnt played a lot the last two years.
With Draper, it comes down to a numbers crunch. The Wings have 11 forwards signed to one-way contracts for 2011-12 and are trying to re-sign Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller. Holland does not want to risk losing prospect Cory Emmerton by exposing him on waivers, as would have to happen for him to be sent to the minors.
Even with the likelihood of a trade such as moving Jiri Hudler management then would have to consider whether Draper brings more to the team than a newcomer.
Right now, we owe it to ourselves to wait till July 1, Holland said. Ill talk to both players, but so much is unknown right now. We dont know who is going to be on the market July 1. Is there somebody out there we think brings something wed like to our team?
We owe it to ourselves to look at options. The torch has to be passed. If 40-year-olds arent passing the torch, we arent going anywhere.
This should make a lot of Wings fans giddy.

The Stetson women's tennis team swept Niagara 7-0 to improve to 7-1 on the season Monday at Cummings Courts in DeLand.
"It was fun to play a dual match where my career first started at Stetson," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said of playing at Cummings. "I have fond memories of my first three seasons of coaching on those courts."
Stetson didn't lose a set the entire match, opening with a sweep of doubles play. Senior Diana Bukajeva and freshman Isabella Fernandez won 8-4 at number one, senior MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell and sophomore Cari Berry won 8-3 at number two, and senior Lindsey Cable and sophomore Eveline Lepinay won 8-1 at number three.
"The team played an excellent match today, both in singles and doubles," Pilote said. "Niagara plays an aggressive style of tennis but we were able to handle their pace early on in the match."
The Hatters continued to excel in singles action as Fernandez opened with a 6-0, 6-0 win at number three to make it 2-0 Stetson. Sophomore Andrea Crespo won 6-1, 6-2 at number two, and Bukajeva won 6-1, 6-1 at number one to clinch the win for Stetson at 4-0.
Stauffer-MacDowell then won 6-2, 6-0 at the number four position to extend the advantage to 5-0. Freshman Carolina Meregalli won 6-2, 6-0 at number six, and Berry earned a 6-3, 6-0 victory at number five to complete the sweep for the Hatters.
Stetson continues non-conference action on Saturday, March 8. The Hatters host UNC Greensboro at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center at 12:00 p.m.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE — Hillary Talbot has peace of mind.
Earlier this month, the Tahoe City resident enrolled in and selected a health care insurance plan for 2014, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act for most Americans.
"Being an active skier up here, it's a huge relief going into the winter knowing that I'm fully covered," she said. "Not having any lapses in coverage is good peace of mind."
This fall, Talbot was notified by her current health care provider her coverage would be dropped at the end of March 2014, and her deductible would rise significantly starting January 2014.
Rather than risk it, Talbot signed up for a new plan — with help from a local insurance agency — through Covered California, the state's marketplace where individuals and small businesses can shop for coverage.
In order to have coverage effective as of Jan. 1, 2014, individuals need to enroll and select a plan by Monday, Dec. 23. Additionally, one must pay the first month's premium.
Originally, the payment deadline was Dec. 31, but some insurers are extending it to Jan. 10, 2014, according to the federal government's ACA website, www.healthcare.gov.
Open enrollment for 2014 coverage will continue until March 31, 2014. Those who obtain coverage by then will not have to pay a penalty for previous uninsured months.
After March 31, however, private health insurance for 2014 can only be obtained through a special enrollment period if one has a life-changing event such as a job loss, birth or divorce.
"If you haven't started the process, you still have time," said Melissa Ausilio, community outreach specialist for the North Tahoe Family Resource Center, specializing in health care and nutrition programs. "No need to panic."
Californians trying to enroll for coverage will be directed by the federal website to Covered California, at coveredca.com.
According to Covered California, 109,296 state residents have enrolled in an insurance plan between October and November. For the week of Dec. 1-Dec. 7, 144,146 applications were completed, and 49,708 individuals selected plans.
"We are very encouraged by the tremendous response as more and more Californians learn about the health coverage available through Covered California," said Toby Douglas, director of California Department of Health Care Services, in a statement. "Our partnerships with the counties and others are helping lay the groundwork for a significant improvement in the health of all Californians."
One local organization helping spread the word is the North Tahoe Family Resource Center.
"It's the first time this has been rolled out, so there are going to be challenges, but we're out there to assist the public with whatever they need," Ausilio said.
When asked for recommendations for those starting the application process, she advised having all of one's financial data and identification information at hand and giving oneself enough time to study and compare insurance plans.
"It's more than just a monthly premium; it's about your wellbeing," Ausilio said.
Covered California offers four insurance plan categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
These categories offer the same set of essential health benefits, which include emergency service; hospitalization; maternity and newborn care; and preventive, wellness and chronic disease management, among others.
The differences come down to monthly premium costs and one's deductible.
Based on income, individuals can be eligible for either Medi-Cal — California's Medicaid program — or subsidized coverage.
For example, an individual earning $15,856 or less annually, or a family of four making $32,499 or less, may qualify for Medi-Cal at low or no cost. An individual making between $15,857 and $45,960 annually, and a family of four earning between $32,500 and $94,200, may qualify for federal premium assistance based on a sliding scale.
One objective of the Affordable Care Act is making coverage more secure for those who have insurance and extended affordable coverage to the uninsured, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 48 million Americans were without health coverage in 2012 — that's 15.4 percent of the population.
"I think (the Affordable Care Act is) a beginning, not an end point," said Dr. Lawrence Danto, a professor of surgery for UC Davis who used to practice medicine in Truckee. "I don't think it's a permanent solution to access — or lack of access — to health care in our country."
Eligible adults without coverage in 2014 must pay either a $95 fee, or 1 percent of his or her income, whichever is higher. The penalty will increase in subsequent years to $325, or 2 percent, and $625, or 2.5 percent, for 2015 and 2016, respectively.
Under Talbot's new coverage plan, she will see a increase of $2 a month in her premium starting in 2014.
"(It's) definitely not a bad change," she said.
While some individuals will see an increase in their monthly premium, Ausilio said those premiums cover previously non-included benefits such as behavioral health treatment and the assurance that you will not encounter annual and lifetime caps.
The Affordable Care Act also makes it illegal to be denied coverage based on pre-existing conditions, age and occupation.
It's no secret federally mandated health care has been a controversial topic, as liberals laud its intent to care for all Americans, while conservatives argues its merits and question if it's the constitutional thing to do.
However, for Talbot, looking beyond the politics is perhaps what's best for residents.
"If you're not 100 percent sold, find out what it would cost you for what type of plan," Talbot said. "I feel like (it's) important for people just to break down these barriers of being for or against it, and truly find out what it's going to cost you, and what it's going to cost you if you don't have health insurance."

LAKE TAHOE - So, you woke up early, schlepped your gear to the hill, skied some tasty snow, had the obligatory apres-drink and are sitting back home, too tired to get far from the warm glow of the fireplace? Perfect. Outside is definitely the place to be at Lake Tahoe, but sometimes - like during a blizzard - sitting inside in front of the television isn't so bad.
But that reality doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying the lake and the sports it offers. Lake Tahoe and the quirky ski culture that surrounds it have gotten plenty of screen time over the years. Here are some movies that either feature Lake Tahoe or have ties to its most well-known winter activities.
Hot Dog ... The Movie (1984) - The gold standard in campy '80s ski movies, "Hot Dog ... The Movie" is a must-see for anyone interested in the good ol' days of skiing - or at least how they were portrayed by Hollywood. Filmed at Lake Tahoe, primarily at Squaw Valley, "Hot Dog" includes a familiar theme of likable, underdog dirt bags battling smug, well-heeled rich folk for skiing supremacy. The movie features quite a bit of on-hill action, including versions of skiing that still make appearances (Chinese downhills) and plenty that don't (Ski ballet). The movie is available on DVD and is also available for free online at unofficialnetworks.com/hotdog. Rated R.
Dumb and Dumber (1994) - This classic buddy flick features Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels taking a road trip to a little place called Aspen. This comedy features relatively little skiing, but includes some awesome do's and don'ts of the ski world, as in do take your skis off before walking into the lodge, do not stick your tongue to the metal chairlift and do wear a spandex ski racing suit whenever possible. The movie also provides some unforgettable slope side quotations that just about any ski bum can relate to. Case in point: "I said, 'Do you love me?' and she said, 'No, but that's a really nice ski mask.'" Rated PG-13.
Ski Patrol (1990) - An unheralded classic from the golden age of eye-rolling ski flicks, "Ski Patrol" boasts a few highlights between the standard-issue love story, including an out-of-control snowboarder with a split personality, comedian George Lopez's first acting credit as explosives expert Eddie and the now familiar plot line of a much-beloved ski resort threatened with purchase by corporate interests (see: "Out Cold"). Still stuck in the early-'90s, Ski Patrol has not been released on DVD, but can be found online through services like Netflix. Rated PG.
Out Cold (2001) - "Out Cold" may not be quite as beloved as the Hot Dogs of the world, but this update to the ski comedy genre is worth a look for a couple of decent snowboarding scenes and plenty of (mildly) humorous comedic action. As for the plot? Character Stumpy sums up the small town-meets-big development tension. "I was there. Yeah, it was called the '80s. Ford was President, Nixon was in the White House and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin' in a hole-in-a-wall town in what is now called Utah. Some fella from Colorado shows up, starts making so-called 'improvements,' right? Before we knew what hit us, the streets are running with latte.'" Rated PG-13.
A View to Kill (1985) - Actors to play James Bond: Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Tom Sims, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan. Wait. Tom Sims? That's right, this Moore-era Bond movie features recently deceased snowboarding pioneer Tom Sims dropping a monster cliff, skimming a pond and generally showing all the squares how James Bond gets down on a snowboard, all while being chased by three automatic weapon-wielding skiers. Somewhere, some snowboarder (or skier) has had this dream. Totally radical. Rated PG.
Frozen (2010) --This campy horror flick has nothing to do with Lake Tahoe, other than its ski resort setting. Much of Frozen is laughably bad, but the "group of friends stuck on a chairlift after the resort closes" plot line is well-conceived enough to play on that nagging feeling in the back of chairlift riders' minds that wonders "What if I get stuck up here?" The answer: Wolves. Rated R.
Godfather: Part II (1974) - An all around classic and possibility the best gangster movie ever made, "Godfather: Part II" includes Lake Tahoe among its backdrops. The winner of the 1975 Academy Award for best picture, the movie used Fleur de Lac, the historic West Shore estate of Henry J. Kaiser, as a setting. The private development is still around, but not open to tours. The estate is popular as a sight-seeing stop on Lake Tahoe boat cruises as the weather warms up. Rated R. For a taste of Lake Tahoe's actual mafia history, check out Scott Lankford's book "Tahoe beneath the Surface."
Misery (1990) --Unlike "Frozen," "Misery" is a legitimately scary movie featuring Kathy Bates playing an obsessed fan of an author she rescues, and then imprisons, following a car crash. We're dealing with Stephen King here, so the mental anguish grows as the movie progresses and the sledgehammer scene is as hard to watch as ever. The level of cabin fever in this flick can make even the viewer claustrophobic. In other words, "Misery" provides plenty of motivation to get out of the house. The movie includes shots from around the Lake Tahoe region. Where the author in the movie, played by actor James Caan, crashes was filmed at Donner Pass, near Tahoe's North Shore. Rated R.

We just have spent 5 days in New York in this apartment we had booked on the internet. While it is very well placed, and I would recommend volontié, if you spent a few days in this fantastic city,,,,,, any time, despite the great location, it is imperative that the owner of the premises still see a copy ,,,,,,,,, it is important to know ifyou rent it, as we hear from the outside and ventilation, especially aunniveau a bedroom, missing, cloths, égoutoir for dishes, the electricity is a again, no bedside lamp that works??? no window in the main room, the shower curtain not great at all, lack a shower mat, and also lack of blackout curtains at the windows,, , if the maid dana is very nice, the home very nice,, the pictures do not represent what we see on arrival, else the room doors close properly, and the front door, despite all these inconveniences we spent a great stay, and if were to go, and although I leases it back, because the location is top,,,,, not far from time square, 34 avenue, etc., in short, a great location, ,,,,,, we keep great memories,,,,,,,,
Nous venons d avoir passé 5 jours à new york dans cet appartement que nous avions réservé sur internet. Certes, il est très bien placé,et, je le conseillerais volontié, si vous devez passé quelques jours dans cette ville fantastique,,,,,,toute fois, malgré le super emplacement, il est imperatif que le proprietaire des lieux revois sa copie,,,,,,,,,il est important de savoir sivous le louer, que l on entends de l extérieur une ventilation et, surtout aunniveau d une chambre, il manque, des torchons, égoutoir pour la vaisselle, l electricite est a revoir , pas de lampe de chevet qui marche ??????pas de fenetre dans la piece principale, le rideau de douche pas top du tout, manque un tapis de douche , et aussi des rideaux opaques manquent aux fenetres,,,,,,sinon la femme de ménage dana est très sympa, l acceuil tres sympa,,,,les photos ne représentent pas ce que l on vois en arrivant , autre chose les portes des chambres ferment mal,ainsi que la porte d entrée, malgré tous ces desagrements nous avons passés un excellent séjours,et, si devais revenir , et, bien je le reloue, car l emplacement est top,,,,,pas loin de time square, 34 avenue, etc, bref super bien placé,,,,,,,,nous gardons un super souvenirs,,,,,,,,
Let me begin to say that the apartment is located in a lovely area in the upper west side of Manhattan. A very quiet area but still very close to Broadway and the metro stations (2 min walk) which takes you down to Times Square in ~10 minutes.
The kitchen was SEVERELY understocked. There were hardly no glasses or cups, only 3 wine glasses and the kitchen knives were so terrible it was not even possible to slice an onion or tomato. In the end, the kitchen was superfluous because of the lack of tools to cook. The coffee maker was a $10 Black & Decker, which was totally useless. These things were a big let down for me, as I was looking forward to cook in an otherwise great kitchen.
Apart from this, the apartment was very spacious with a lovely wooden floor and nice large bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms were a bit small, and the third was very large. The overall finish was good but the cleaning was a little bit sloppy, especially around details (e.g. taps, mirrors) in the bathroom.
When you pay that much, you expect to at least be able to dine in the apartment.
Perfect location, default ok. Sofa not good. Work well with incheck osv.tydlig info. Think it must be stated that it is distracting music and traffic
Perfekt läge, standard ok. Bäddsoffa inte bra. Fungera bra med incheck osv.tydlig info. Tycker det ska anges att det är störande musik och trafik
Great location.
Only chairs and table for four persons to eat - not eight.
Cutlery for five to six people.
Don't count on the washingmachine and dryer.
Heating/aircon of very doubtful quality.
The apartment 'excellent level both in terms of aesthetics and function.
L'appartamento e' di ottimo livello sia dal punto di vista estetico che funzionale.
Apartment clean and well located. Team reactive.
Appartement propre et bien situé. Equipe réactive.
We stayed in this spacious 3 bedroom apartment which was so convenient. The new kitchen is fabulous but does not take up much space in the big living room which includes 2 large sofas, dinning table for 6 and kitchen. The 3 bedrooms are more than adequate, in particular, the master bedroom which has an en-suite with separate bath and shower. The location is superb, close to Central Park at one end and Zabar's Deli at the other. Highly recommend this place for 7 people. 9 would be a tight squeeze.
In the end we changed a room in upper Right side, 344 on the 65st. We loved the area and the apartment, plus NYC! My pleasure cn you celebrate my birthday!
Al final nos cambiaron una habitación en upper Right side, en la 344 de la 65st. Nos encanto la zona y el apartamento, además de NYC! Ha sido un placer celebrar mi cumpleaños cn vosotros!
Welcome to the agency .2 points: apartment very well located nice and good neighborhood, close to the metro and many chauffé.Sinon poorly insulated acoustically! State just okay.
Bon accueil à l'agence.2 points positifs : appart très bien situé beau et bon quartier,à proximité du métro,et bien chauffé.Sinon mal isolé phoniquement!État juste correct.

durch den sturm sandy wurde diese wohnung etwas verwüstet
wir wurden aber in einer besseren wohnung sofort untergebracht
die wohnung 8318 war ein traum
aber leider für vier personen etwas zu klein

Your Take: Was Lasik Surgery Worth It?
|Email Print
Today the Your Take is a bit of a selfish question about Lasik, something I'm starting to consider more seriously again. I first wrote about this a few years ago when I considered Lasik eye surgery but never pulled the trigger (I went as far as to schedule just one consultation but was a little turned off at the "used car salesman" sales tactics).
If you've had Lasik, I'm curious if you thought the laser surgery was "worth it?" Everything I've ever heard from people has been positive, outside of the relatively high costs, and I'm curious to hear from people on both sides. Are there folks who were unhappy? How much did it cost and where was it performed? Are there folks who can be more specific about what they like about their experience? I'll probably consider it next year, especially since it seems the liquid travel restrictions on flights won't be lifted anytime soon, and was trying to gather more information.
Thanks!{ 66 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

when one falls backward as such: firstly, one must be FAT. secondly, there must be a rock behind one. Now, see, a person pushes another (the fat one) and they fall back. Not like a stumble, but a stiff complete straight fall. When you hit the ground your lege fly up at the speed of light and then they fall back. This is one motion. At the same time your arms are falling. This is known as the fat girl tumble. Degrassi was the inspiration for this. Look for Terri falling, shes the fat one.
Hey, Tbagg totally fat girl tumbled,now she is paralyzed.

Part One of a Two Part Series
Pastor Glenn Plummer, a household name in the faith community, next Monday will announce his run for Congress in the 13th District, currently represented by Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick. But first Plummer sat down with Michigan Chronicle senior editor Bankole Thompson for an exclusive interview focused on the issues he plans to tackle head-on if elected. In the marathon interview Plummer denies that he is a member of the Republican Party. Though he keynoted the Republican National Convention in 2004 in New York, Plummer said he is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Party laying out the principles that make him a Democrat.
Among other issues, Plummer said he is concerned about division along racial lines in Southeast Michigan. Excerpts from that interview follow.
MICHIGAN CHRONICLE: Why did you decide now to run for Congress?
GLENN PLUMMER: Actually it's been about a little more than a year process. It really began for me more formally at the end of 2008 and it was not until 2009 that I really seriously consider forming an exploratory committee. But in 2008, as you recall, this city was really just beginning to go into unreal dire spin politically. So I really believe that I have some real answers. I think we have some fresh ideas. I personally have loved this city for a long time.
MC: You are running for a congressional seat, not for city council. How can the problems of Detroit that emerge from city hall be equated with congressional representation?
GP: Well, 2008 wasn't just a shift in city council. We had a new president so there was a shift nationally. So the issue for me was not Detroit only. First of all let me back off and let you know that I really see Detroit larger than the city itself. I see Detroit as really the greater Detroit area. I was born in Brooklyn, New York. Then I've lived in a number of different places. Detroit is probably the only major city in America that is polarized as it is in three areas: the area of east and west, we have a suburb/city mentality where the lines are clearly and we have a Black/ White metality. Of all cities in America that have 100,000 population and more, Livonia is the most White city in America. Warren is number three. My point is we have racial polarization. My issue is Detroit is bigger than that and we have to somehow find a way above the divide and see our city as a regional area.
MC: Then wouldn't it better if you ran for city council instead of congress?
GP: City council of what?
MC: The Detroit City Council.
GP: No. Why?
MC: Because you are talking about regional ism and running for congress.

Start-up Guide for Mutual Funds
Most private sector funds provide you the convenience of periodic purchase plans (through a Systematic Investment Plan), automatic withdrawal plans and the automatic reinvestment of dividends. You would basically need to give post-dated cheques (monthly or quarterly, periodic date of the cheque is fixed by the Asset Management Company). Most funds allow a monthly investment of as little as Rs500 with a provision of giving 4-6 post-dated cheques and follow up later with more. Regular monthly investments are a good way to build a long-term portfolio and add discipline to your investment process.

Winners of two straight and five out of six, the Stetson women's basketball team (10-5, 2-1 A-Sun) will hit the road this weekend for a pair of Atlantic Sun Conference games in the state of Georgia. The Hatters will face Mercer (9-6, 2-2) at 7 p.m. Thursday night and Kennesaw State (4-11, 2-2) at 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
Georgia has been quite "peachy" for the Hatters over the past three seasons. Stetson has compiled a 15-1 record in games played in the state since 2010-11, including an 11-1 mark at Mercer's Hawkins Arena and a 3-0 tally at KSU's Convocation Center.
The Hatters are looking to build off of a pair of home victories over USC Upstate (78-64) and ETSU (91-62). Sasha Sims led the team with a combined 43 points in the two games en route to her third A-Sun Player of the Week award this season. She currently ranks second in the league in scoring (18.5) and ranks fifth all-time in school history in points scored (1399).
Sims is just one of five Hatters scoring in double figures as Stetson leads the Atlantic Sun and ranks 37th in the nation in scoring (78.4 ppg). The team's .454 field goal pcercentage also leads the league and ranks 23rd in the NCAA. Junior Jama Sharp ranks 18th in the country is assists per game (6.1).
Defensively the Hatters continue to excel at blocking shots. Freshman Amber Porter ranks fifth in the NCAA with a 3.7 blocks per game average, and the team as a whole ranks 18th in the country with a blocking average of 5.3. Sims has tied the school record with 137 blocked shots in her career.
Thursday's game will be available on ASun.TV, while Saturday's contest will be broadcast on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app for mobile devices. Live stats, the Stetson women's basketball twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts will also be available for in-game updates.

As I've said here on numerous occasions, the public opinion polls commissioned by Fox News generally are trustworthy, no matter the network's notorious bias in reporting the news.
The latest Fox poll is a GOOD EXAMPLE:
When an expansion of background checks for guns failed to pass the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, the president urged his supporters to vote background-check opponents out of office.
The new poll, released Tuesday, finds voters may heed the president's call.
Some 61 percent say they would be less likely to support a candidate who voted against expanding background checks. �That�s far greater than ...

Mayor Mark Stodola proclaims April
as Safe Digging Month in Little Rock
One free call to 811 before digging prevents 99 percent of damages
Houston, April 4, 2013 – Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola proclaims April as Safe Digging Month and CenterPoint Energy is partnering with his office along with the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) and the Regional Damage Prevention Council to increase awareness of safe digging practices.
CenterPoint Energy reminds homeowners and contractors that they need to call 811 before digging or excavating during the heavy summer excavation months of on-going construction projects. One free call to 811 before digging can prevent injuries, property damage, service disruption and possibly costly fines for damaged infrastructure.
Since the 811 "Call Before You Dig" campaign was created in 2004, there has been roughly a 40 percent reduction in excavation damages. Homeowners and professional excavators in Little Rock can visit the Web to make their requests through the internet. For more information, visit call811.com.
"If you call 811 before digging, 99 percent of the time there will be no damage to underground utilities," said Gail Martin, supervisor of Damage Prevention for CenterPoint Energy. "It is important that everyone digs with C.A.R.E. Call 811 before your dig. Allow 48-hours for the utility lines to be marked. Respect the marks, which means hand dig within 18-inches of the marks. Excavate carefully."
The depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. So, whether it's a small project like planting trees or shrubs or hiring a professional for a special outdoor project, smart digging means calling 811 before each job.

Beans Kodhel - A Konkani Curry
Getting ready for the move and the next couple weeks are going to be super busy. Dunno when I'll post next but I may surprise myself yet :)
Here is a yum Konkani curry. My MIL usually makes this with green beans and potatoes. I've used long beans here.
1 cup long beans (or green beans) chopped
salt to taste
1 tbsp corinader seeds
2 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp methi seeds
3-4 dried red chilies
1/2 cup coconut
3/4 tsp tamarind paste
1 tsp jaggery
mustard seeds
2-3 garlic pods, crushed
coconut oil (or any cooking oil)
In a kadhai, do the tadka. Add the chopped beans and sauté for a couple minutes. Add one cup of water. Cover and cook until half done.
In the meantime, in a little bit of oil, fry the coriander seeds, urad dal, methi seeds and red chilies. Make a smooth masala paste with coconut, tamarind, jaggery and the fried spices, adding a little water.
Add this paste to the half cooked beans, salt to taste and a few tbsps of water. Mix well and cook on low until done.
Traditionally served with rice and ghee, but goes well with chappatis too.

CHICAGO - With early voting starting Monday, the four Republican candidates for Illinois governor were campaigning throughout the state Saturday, encouraging their supporters to cast a ballot before the March 18 primary.
Businessman Bruce Rauner, Treasurer Dan Rutherford, and Sens. Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady hope that locking in votes early in what's usually a low-turnout election will boost their chances of winning their party's nomination to take on Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn. However, getting Republican voters to cast ballots ahead of the traditional Election Day has proved difficult.
Brady said his campaign is trying to motivate early voting through social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter.
"The message we are sending is that we are the only reliable Republican in this race," said Brady, who won the GOP nomination in 2010 and was campaigning in central Illinois.
Rauner was on his campaign bus and planned to make stops in central and southern Illinois. Campaign aide Mike Schrimpf said Republicans haven't been good at turning out early voters because the party hasn't been organized at the grass-roots level.
Rauner has made it a priority to not just run television ads, but to run a comprehensive campaign, Schrimpf said. Since the campaign began, volunteers have made 120,000 telephone calls.
"Not all just about early voting, but clearly an indication of a strong grass-roots operation," he said.
"We are trying to run a great campaign," Rauner said, noting that turnout is generally low in the GOP primary. "Getting out the vote is critically important. This is a critical election. We have to get Pat Quinn out of office."
Rutherford's campaign planned to remind supporters of the start of early voting with telephone calls and emails over the weekend, spokesman Brian Sterling said.
Rutherford declined to be interviewed on the effort. He's skipped reporters' questions after candidate debates - most recently Thursday evening in Chicago - as he's faced allegations of misconduct and had to defend himself on the campaign trail. A former employee filed a federal lawsuit accusing Rutherford of sexual harassment and being forced to do campaign work on state time. Rutherford has dismissed the allegations as false.
Dillard campaign manager Glenn Hodas said the campaign is emailing supporters, asking them to vote early and pointing out locations where they can do so. The last GOP gubernatorial primary was decided by fewer than 200 votes, so getting people to the polls could be a deciding factor.
"We are expecting the race to become significantly closer," he said.
Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, is seeking re-election. He has one lesser-known challenger, anti-violence activist Tio Hardiman of suburban Chicago.
Page 2 of 2 - Politicians aren't the only ones pressing voters to cast early ballots. The Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights is canvassing the immigrant community to encourage early voting.
"It's important that lawmakers hear from us," CEO Lawrence Benito said. "The earlier they get out and vote, the easier it is for us to focus on getting more people to the polls."
Because of the organization's reputation for taking on tough fights, including advocating immigration reform on the federal level and pushing for driver's licenses for those who entered the country without legal permission, he said it has the credibility to sell early voting to those who usually wait until Election Day.
In addition to early voting in person, registered voters can cast absentee ballots or vote by mail. Eligible voters also can register or change their address through March 15. Participants in the grace-period registration must cast their ballots at the election board office and are ineligible to vote early or cast a ballot at a polling place.

LEWISTOWN - After two years of researching local history, collecting community photos, documenting the findings and reviewing his own experience, Paul Fagley's book on the history of Derry Township Community Park is going to print.
Entitled "Memories of Kishacoquillas Park," the book presents the heyday times of this community landmark, which was once a popular amusement park, through more than 300 pages of color photos, illustrations and printed memorabilia, Fagley said.
"For this book, I decided to lay it out in scrapbook-like format," Fagley said. "The book is done in landscape format so that it can have large full-page pictures. Nearly every page has some item on it (like) a photo, a copy of an ad from The Sentinel, an image of a ticket or some other ephemera."
Article Photos
Sentinel photo by BRADLEY KREITZER
Bob Miller displays a photograph of a building in Kish Park while standing in front of that same building at Derry Township Community Park. Paul Fagley's book 'Memories of Kishacoquillas Park,' includes more than 300 pages of color photos, illustrations and printed memorabilia, much of it from Miller's family, from the park's operation up until 1972 when Hurricane Agnes forced its permanent closure.
The idea for the book came to Fagley in 2010 after giving a walking tour of the park for the local Boyscout Camporee. The tour included photos from the Mifflin County Historical Society and an article from Common Ground magazine, he said.
"While I was there, I ran into Bob Miller, the youngest child of John and Gloria Miller, who owned the park before Derry Township purchased it," Fagley said. "We started to talk and eventually ... came to the conclusion that the time was here to tell the history of the park. They have been a tremendous source of information, photos and stories."
Shortly after talking with the Miller family, Fagley began to research the park in depth. The book was originally supposed to take one year to write, but with the increasing amount of information the writing process extended into the second year, Fagley said.
"Information on the park is the most requested, non-genealogical inquiry the historical society receives, and yet they have little to offer people," Fagley said. "Information and pictures came from The Sentinel microfilms archive, online research and networking with friends and colleagues. There was even more information than I imagined."
Today, the park still holds memories and remnants of the past, Fagley said. Most of the buildings that make up Derry Township Community Park were the original buildings that housed amusement park rides and games, he said.
"The Theatre-in-the-Park was the old Toy Store and, moving down the row, the next building, with the blank front, was the Fun-in-the-Dark ride," Fagley said. "The garages were the arcade, the Skooter building was the bumper cars and the park office was the shooting gallery. The building opposite it was the concession stand."
Having gone to the amusement park as a kid, these remaining pieces of physical history recall fond memories, Fagley said. The book will provide a complete account of the place once known as Kish Park, and will fill a gaping hole of the community story, he added.
"Memories of Kishacoquillas Park" is expected to be ready for distribution by Thanksgiving and will be sold for $32.95 plus tax. Pre-orders are now being taken by the Mifflin County Historical Society at 242-1022. The official sale date of the book will also be announced on the Kish Park Project Facebook page. Pre-orders will receive a $5 discount through Nov. 20.

REEDSVILLE - Though months of cold weather remain, students Jacob Cram and Anthony Elliott are already making plans for their summer vacations.
Their free time won't involve sunny beaches or soft hotel beds, though.
For six weeks, the teens will sleep on floors, do manual labor, study and perform in public.
Elliott and Cram plan to join Operation Barnabas, a U.S. missions organization that emphasizes local church ministry.
Last year, the Kish Valley Grace Brethren Church hosted a team of students from Operation Barnabas, and the volunteers made a strong impression on Elliott and Cram.
The team led a church service and vacation Bible school, and volunteered to do chores for church and community members.
Elliott, who helped the team with chores, said the teens' attitudes were always positive.
But the team members also made opportunities to share their faith with others.
Cram remembered stopping by a grocery store with two young men who were staying at his home. They started talking to people by the cash register, and shoppers opened up to them, Cram said.
"They were constantly focused on God," Cram said. "That's how they saw the world - through that filter."
This year, the Mifflin County High School teens said they decided it was their turn to participate.
During their six-week experience, Cram and Elliott will share their faith through puppets, music, clowning, drama, public performances, testimonies and team relationships.
Students will learn 40 verses of Scripture while they participate in a discipleship group and study a book of the Bible. As they travel around the U.S. in small teams, they also will be helping communities members with chores.
Most importantly, the two Mifflin County High School teens said they are looking forward to new opportunities to evangelize. They admitted, though, that it will be a step out of their comfort zones.
"The hardest part will be going up to random people and sharing my faith, getting out of my bubble ... and opening up to others," Elliott said.
Both teens said when they return, their goal is to continue using what they learned through the experience in their own community.
Currently, the teens are raising support for their trip. Donations may be sent to the Kish Valley Grace Brethren Church, 99 Taylor Drive, Reedsville, PA 17084. They also are requesting prayers.
The teens will begin their experience on June 18 with several days of training.
