Skip to comments.Presidential Race Shouldnt be Trivialized by Trump: Jon Huntsman
Posted on 12/05/2011 6:04:44 PM PST by Son House
GOP Presidential Candidate Jon Huntsman dismissed Donald Trump and the debate the real estate mogul and reality TV star will be moderating, and told Larry Kudlow hes the only consistent conservative in the race.
The former Utah Governor and former ambassador to China likened the Newsmax-sponsored presidential debate to a reality show, and said he would not be participating.
Theres some dignity associated with a run for the highest office in the land, and it shouldnt be trivialized and it shouldnt be dumbed down, he said. If Don Trump cares about our nations future, he should have been a candidate for president. He shouldnt be manipulating the process from the sidelines.
His statement was the latest in an ongoing war of words with Trump. Huntsman also denied Trumps claim that he called several times to schedule a meeting in hopes of getting Trumps endorsement.
I called him once after he got out of the race, just like I called Tim Pawlenty, as a courtesy call, Huntsman said. Not looking for a meeting, not looking for support or anything else.
One debate Huntsman said he will be doing is the Lincoln-Douglas debate Newt Gingrich in New Hampshire on December 12. He thinks it will provide an opportunity for an in-depth discussion of the issues.
You can only get so much in 30 second sound bites, he said. People fall back on rehearsed lines and that doesnt serve the purpose of educating the voting public about who you are and what it is you stand for.
Huntsman also touted his conservative credentials, saying Youre not going to find a more committed conservative in the race I am a consistent conservative.
He pointed to his pro-life, pro-second amendment stances. He also said as governor of Utah he delivered the largest tax cut in the history of the state and signed the second school choice voucher bill in the country.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand is a flip-flopper conservative, Huntsman said, adding that he thinks Newt Gingrich is grandiose and a little bombastic.
And while many may not know of his conservative views, Huntsman said hes not going to pander for votes.
Im going to be who I am. Im not going to contort myself into a pretzel, he said. I want a steady, substantive rise and thats exactly what were getting in New Hampshire.
Huntsman (who?) trivializes it every day that he doesn't bow out.
But it is okay letting it be 'Trivialized' by Wolf Blitzer, MSNBCBS and other members of the Obama-Lewinsky gang?
Huntsman has apparently seen his opening and he is going for it.
I will not support anyone who writes love letters to BHO.
A future 2012 campaign trivia question puts his two cents in.
Good point. Who could trivalize the Republican debates more than the vapid fools at ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBCFOX?
Watching Trump on Hannity right now, he's belly-aching about the last 4 years and how we can't go through that again, what part about Obama, Pelosi, and Reid did he not get just 1 year ago? Hannity should be asking him?
The Donald just remarked in FOX that Huntsman is pizzed that Trump did not have an hour for a 1 on 1 with him.
There's only one "major" candidate to the left of Milt Romney. That man is Jon Huntsman.
The Donald just remarked on FOX that Huntsman is pizzed that Trump did not have an hour for a 1 on 1 with him.
Why do Mormons love to look down their long noses at non—Mormons? Get all the reasons by reading "The God Makers", by Decker and Hunt. A very astounding read!
Huntsman lost me in the very first debate when he told me I should accept "settled science" in the global warming debate. Sorry, dude...science is the search for knowledge, not the blind acceptance of it...that's called faith. He made his play for the moderates and took the McCain route trying to please the media now he has to live with it.
I care about our nation's future--should I be a candidate for president?
Huntmsan is a daddy's boy--much like JFK-- a classic example of a trust fund baby who was born on third base and acts like he hit a triple. He resents that Trump started out in his father's modest real estate business and developed it into a conglomerate. Huntsman did nothing but spend his father's money while collecting a sinecure paycheck from the family foundations.
Huntsman is a poser and he knows it. Trump is a real dealer--made, lost, and made fortunes again--Huntsman knows it, but can't stand that this upstart has earned more money on his own than he Huntsman will ever earn in his lifetime.
Two large egos, you bet-- but only one has ever delivered the goods. And it ain't daddy's boy.
I believe Huntsman's claim is he just called to wish him well after he got out of the race like Pawlenty
Yes, I am only supporting Huntsman in the hopes someone puts the Reid question to Trump and makes him answer for being politically bipolar
Huntsman may not be the right guy, but he's not wrong about Trump— Trump is a complete buffoon. When I heard Trump say that he'll give "his endorsement after the debates" — like anyone seriously gives a rat's behind who Donald Trump endorses.
Well, I'll take "grandiose and a little bombastic" over a backstabbing little weasel any day.
Trump has still not ruled out a run for president. Why is has moderating anything?
Well if Harry Reid changes parties and gets in, Trump could endorse him and stop toying with running as an Independent.
The Ross Perot, I'm in, I'm out...
No Huntsman fan here, but he does have a point. The idea of GOP candidates on pilgrimages to Trump`s throne, showing such fealty to him, grates on me to no end. Trump wants something in exchange for a blessing.. he won`t just grant it for nothing.
I kind of like circumventing the lame stream media.
Who says they're the only ones that can moderate debates?
You missed the above post. Huntsman did ask Trump for a pilgrimage to his place. Trump turned him down.
Trump trivializes it, but "Mad Jim Cramer" doesn't?
This will not help Huntsman at all.
Ah.. ok. Thanks!
But it is okay letting it be Trivialized by Wolf Blitzer, MSNBCBS and other members of the Obama-Lewinsky gang?
Exactly! Michael Savage has been railing for weeks and weeks about the idiot Republicans for going to debate after debate hosted by rank Liberals.
And how about the debate that asked the Repub candidates about their favorite music, or some such — as Savage pointed out — that was truly demeaning.
So, now that somebody might ask questions that are a bit more of the hardball nature, Ron Paul and Huntsman bow out — in Paul's case, at least — after complaining that he is not given enough time in the debates.
That showed me that Paul is at heart a LIBERAL — as is Huntsman.
For the most part I agree with you. However, Trumops daddy died with over 1/2 Billion. He was anything but a small RE conglomerate.
From Wikipia:
""Trump embarked on a career as an entrepreneur through real estate development, building, and operating affordable rental housing in New York City, including more than 27,000 low-income multifamily apartments and row houses in the neighborhoods of Coney Island, Bensonhurst, Sheepshead Bay, Flatbush, and Brighton Beach in Brooklyn and Flushing and Jamaica Estates in Queens.[2]
By the time of his death, Trump had amassed a $400 million estate, left largely to his children, contributing a significant amount to Donald Trump's fortune. Fred Trump suffered from Alzheimer's disease for six years[2] before his death from pneumonia in June 1999, at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, in New Hyde Park, New York.""
"That's rich" ping. Thanks Son House.
I'm looking forward to the Huntsman/Gingrich debate. It'll be good to see Newt against someone who knows what he's talking about. And of course, Huntsman is correct about Trump.
Huntsman is better than Newt or Romney.
"Huntsman (who?) trivializes it every day that he doesnt bow out"
You got that right. Its a total vanity campaign.
Huntsman is a Progressive RINO and above all a stiff. His interviews are like watching a documentary on origami.
Oh gosh....LOL.
I call him, "Eddie Haskell Huntsman."
The man is a kissy-face to the moderators and peeps in the audience during debates.
Talk about a vanity run. His qualifies.
Isn't Huntsman the one whose daughters "trivialize" the presidential race with their silly videos?
I'm not a fan of Trump, but I bet it will be better than Scott Pelley lecuturing the Republican candidates and arguing with at least one of them. Maybe Scott Pelley wants to run for president himself.
Huntsman is pro-life with EXCEPTIONS, which is not good enough. In fact, it shows weakness to make both sides somewhat happy.
The post is wrong. Simple as that. Huntsman did no such thing.
So you prefer Donald Trump, a registered Democrat in 2001, who was all for 'Universal Healthcare', who is still seriously threatening to run as an independent in November, over the pro-life, pro-gun, tax-cutting, Republican governor of one of the most conservative states in the union?
"Huntsman is pro-life with EXCEPTIONS, which is not good enough. In fact, it shows weakness to make both sides somewhat happy."
It may not be good enough for you, but have a look at Romney or Gingrich's record on life and compare it to Huntsman's.
You can hit Huntsman on plenty of things, but trying to whack him on his pro-life record? in this race? and against this field?
"Theres only one major candidate to the left of Milt Romney. That man is Jon Huntsman."
I think you might get some disagreement on that one. In fact, you SHOULD get some disagreement on that one! George Will's recent column states the case very well.
Have a look at Huntsman's bold plan to rein banks in using the FREE MARKET. The fact that he has a solid pro-life, and pro-2nd Amendment record. That has was a tax-cutter as Utah governor. That he attempted school vouchers while governor.
There are no doubt many valid reasons why people on this site dislike Jon Huntsman, but simply ignoring such a conservative record, as so many do, is unfair and counter-productive. He is no 'liberal'. He is no 'RINO' (an awful term at the best of times) and he certainly isn't a man of the 'Left'.
I'd argue he is to the RIGHT of Gingrich, and he is clearly to the right of Romney. Just look at the record.
But thanks for calling Jon Huntsman a "major" candidate. *friendly tip of the hat*
I support Santorum and Bachmann - no exceptions/no caving to moderates - not one bit.
Then that is completely fair enough. You are obviously a person with principle, who cares passionately about the issue, and I admire you for it.
Had you said you were about to vote for Newt Gingrich, then my head would have exploded!
Jon Huntsman does have a pretty sound pro-life record though.
Actually, on reflection, and to avoid being a hypocrite, I don't think I'm being fair to Newt here. He IS to the left of Huntsman on several issues, but he has always been pretty solid when it comes to being pro-life.
Beat me to it. In 'Trivial Pursuit ver 2020', Huntsman won't even be a Trivia Question.
I heard this am on F&F that Huntsman's FIL is funding his entire campaign. How sad and pathetic is that.

CINCINNATI — First Student Inc. has been awarded a contract to provide student transportation services to Detroit Public Schools (DPS) under a five-year agreement that will begin on May 1.
First Student will operate a nearly 360-vehicle fleet and transport the district's nearly 90,000 students to and from 172 schools. The company will also bring new technology to the district's buses. At the start of the 2010-11 school year, all First Student buses serving DPS will be equipped with such safety features as a GPS tracking system, a child-check electronic reminder system and a crossing gate to allow children to cross in front of the bus at a safe distance.
"We are proud to provide student transportation to Detroit Public Schools," said Linda Burtwistle, president of First Student. "Our focus on safety and customer service, coupled with solid fleet maintenance and driver training programs, enables us to provide the students of Detroit Public Schools with reliable transportation to school each and every day."
Robert Bobb, emergency financial manager for DPS, told Detroit Free Press that privatizing all of the district's bus services will save $50.5 million over five years. (About half of the district's bus routes are currently privatized.)
After a bidding process, DPS reportedly selected Transportation Service Providers, a partnership between Detroit-based ABC Student Transportation and First Student. The partnership will receive about $115 million to run DPS' transportation services.
The district also will sell its bus fleet.

Passing through the skinny house that no one else can see, Mack is plunged into a realm in which time and reality are skewed, a place where what Mack does seems to have strange effects on the "real world" of concrete, cars, commerce, and conflict. Growing into a tall, powerful young man, pursuing a forbidden relationship, and using Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream as a guide into the vast, timeless fantasy world, Mack becomes a player in an epic drama. Understanding this drama is Mack's challenge. His reward, if he can survive the trip, is discovering not only who he really is but why he exists.
Both a novel of constantly surprising entertainment and a tale of breathtaking literary power, Magic Street is a masterwork from a supremely gifted, utterly original American writer, a novel that uses realism and fantasy to delight, challenge, and satisfy on the most profound levels.
©2005 Orson Scott Card; (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks
"[Card's] prose is a model of narrative clarity; the author never says more than is needed or arbitrarily withholds information; yet even a simple declarative sentence carries a delicious hint of further revelation." (The New York Times)
"Card comes through again!"
I have been a fan of Card since I first read the short story that was to become the novel Ender's Game twenty some years ago. His ability to create characters who will stay in your heart happens yet again in this novel. The narrator was also terrific - nailing the different voices so that one had no difficulty determining which character was speaking. I personally enjoyed how he intertwined religion, upper middle class African American culture, Shakespeare and a fairy tale.
I've enjoyed other books by Card, but this one was weak. It was as if he was deperate to write a book no matter how bad it was. At the end he claims he wrote the book to please a friend who wanted a book with a Black hero in it. Sadly the only way he could think to accomplish this was by plagerizing a Mid Summer Nights Dream. He took the characters and brought them into modern times as African-Amerian fairies.
The book itself was long, boring, the plot was too broken and anti-climatic. If you did nothing more than listen to the first and last hour of the book you would have the best parts of it.
"Take your time"
This has a slow start but a greet ending you will like it let your mid take you palace you have never been.
"Total reliance on fantasy to make the pieces fit"
The story opens up intriguingly, building a nice atmosphere of suspicion that things are not quite right. Some wonderfully colorful characters are introduced and you're on the verge of getting hooked. And bang, enter Shakespeare, the fairies and extremely handy answers and excuses based on "things that are normal in fairy land". Nothing really clever or thought provoking happens after the half-way point, with a total reliance on magic, and not much in the way of writer ingenuity. I'm never disappointed having read a book, but I sometimes feel taken advantage of; this would be a case in point. Be prepared to be swallowed whole by a "giant slug" in his "slug-like" mouth!
why do white writers think they know a lot about black people? i generally find card a pleasure but this one was unbearable.

Innovative bike rack makes parking into sculpture
I was traveling recently and came across this object. At first, it looks like an artistic sculpture, but on closer examination, it's also a bike rack!
For bonus points, do you know where this is or can you recognize the location?
Here's a part of the instructional sign on the rack. The full sign gives away the location, as do these two other signs.
The sign says this is more compact than other bike racks. That's largely true, though in this configuration, the rack also requires a lot of empty space around in every direction. In an institutional setting with big open spaces (and where it can also function as art), that makes sense. In many tighter urban spaces, arranging these curved, vertical racks side by side instead of in a circle would allow storing bikes even more compactly, though less artistically.
I like the idea of parallel racks. If they want to forgo the artistry, a lot of places could do even better and cheaper with hooks on the walls or ceiling for the front tire. Not sure if that complies with zoning codes etc.

In Toronto, they make them artful:
Here by the Royal Ontario Museum:
The configuration that you pictured doesn't make quite a lot of sense. In Palo Also, they seemed to be used less as an artistic statement, and more to cram some extra bike parking next to treeboxes and buildings, where there wouldn't be enough room to place a "traditional" rack without blocking pedestrian access.
I don't think I ever saw more than 3 or 4 of these racks placed adjacent to each other (most locations only had one or two racks). Seems like it makes more sense to use a more traditional bike rack if you've got a lot of space.
BikeArc is the company that makes this system.
Seems like a cool concept, although I never got to use one. No idea if the benefit is worth the cost...

Jazz masters bring Newport Jazz Festival to Wilson Center
Sixty years ago this summer, jazz musicians and fans established an unlikely beachhead in Newport, R.I., to the annoyance of some uppity mansion-owners.
But the art and artists prevailed. And, over time, the Newport Jazz Festival has thrived, producing historic concerts and recordings. »Read Full Article(2)
In First Stage's 'Crash,' a football player learns how to hug
Recalling young actor Seth Horne from past First Stage shows, what stands out is a seemingly incorruptible innocence, inscribed in a sensitive, open face that reflects an unabashed enthusiasm for life. In a memorable show like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," for example, Horne's projection of Charlie's fundamental, rock-solid goodness stood in stark contrast to the bratty kids accompanying Charlie on tour.
But kids grow up, often losing their sense of magic along the way; many of them become bullies. In the First Stage production of "Crash," that's the rocky road being traveled by seventh-grader John "Crash" Coogan — convincingly played by Horne, in the Defense Cast of alternating young actors I saw Saturday night. »Read Full Article

With the preponderance of "teams of the decade" and "this that and the other of the decade" lists that have been all over Bleacher Report recently, I thought it might be a good chance to look at some of World Football's less than attractive players.
They have not been chosen for their skills, but just for appearances that would make babies cry. Unfortunately, the likes of Ronaldinho, who would grace any ugly team's roster with his unfortunate appearance, is ineligible, as he has not played in the Premier League.

Looks like we are moving again, but to a MUCH better neighborhood, a MUCH better school system, and a MUCH bigger place. We found a 1000 sq ft 2 bed 1 bath with a utility room for $600 a month and only $150 deposit with NO pet deposit. I can't wait to turn in the app tomorrow. It is about 13 miles to the closest of our family, in the country, gorgeous neighborhood, but still close enough to the big city where we can do things. So i probably won't be on much this next week. YAY!

THROUGH the years, I have been accused of hating Villanova. Or, more recently, of loving Villanova. I don't respect what Temple has done or don't understand it. I hate La Salle. Or, back in the day, loved La Salle. I favor Saint Joseph's or ignore St. Joe's.
I have never aroused much passion one way or the other from Penn and Drexel fans, so I am taking that as a sign they are either ignoring me or think I have been reasonable.
Here is a news flash . . . I don't care.
It is not that I don't care about basketball in the city. I do. There is nothing like it anywhere in America. Whenever I talk to people from out of town, they marvel at what we have in this city.

Bet he does a good job in that park. Extremely stupid move to just release him like that.
Bet he does a good job in that park. Extremely stupid move to just release him like that.
Nationals signed LHP Brandon Claussen to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
A very good pickup for a team desperately in need of starting pitching depth. Claussen isn't expected to be ready to contend for a rotation spot this spring, but if he can overcome August surgery to repair a partial rotator cuff tear, he could become one of the Nationals' top starters by midseason.
It's amazing how a team with so little pitching depth lets a guy like that away for nothing, while at the same time keeping fodder like Chad Moeller on the roster.
Stupid move by the Reds, especially considering how pitching starved the team is.
According to Baseball Prospectus, Claussen was the 11th unluckiest pitcher in the NL last year.
I think he'll have a nice bounce year in 2008 for the Nats.
Can we please dispense with the myth that pitchers who give up a lot of home runs are magically going to be better pitchers in a big ball park.
No they won't.
The big ball park means those home runs are going to be doubles(good). It also means many fly outs in the old stadium are going to be base hits(bad) also many singles are going to turn into doubles and doubles into triples(also bad.)
There's also the other matter of facing the guy on the other team. If a pitcher gave up less home runs in Cincinnati, my guess is he'd also give up less home runs in Washington.
The only place this doesn't apply is Colorado where prior to the humidor it was a pitchers nightmare with the huge field and easy home run distance.
When people say that I dont know what Im talking about when it comes to sports or writing, I think: Man, you should see me in the rest of my life.
---Joe Posnanski
Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Is Claussen injury free and ready to play at this point?
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.

Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
Id drive a million miles

But now the musics on
Oh baby dance with me
Rip it up - move down
Rip it up - move it down to the ground
Rip it up - cool down
Rip it up - and get the feeling not the word
Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
It's really funny how that GM in Washington can't get over sticking it to the Reds. He'll pick up any scraps the Reds give him. He has yet to make any lemonade from those lemons though.
Good luck to Brandon, I really enjoyed him as a Red even though I don't think he came close to his potential. I always remember that great game he pitched against Philly at home last year when I was there. Ryan Howard was the only blemish on a great outing.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
Claussen won't be ready till midseason as he recuperates from rotator cuff surgery.
If you think small, you'll go nowhere in life.
At this point Claussen is a younger Paul Wilson, in my opinion. The first major arm surgery already robbed him of a lot of his stuff, I doubt the second one is going to suddenly bring it back. I'm afraid his tank is just about empty.
Claussen had plenty of chances in Cincinnati. It wasn't working out, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the Reds don't feel good about his recovery. Sometimes a guy has to have a certain makeup to come back from arm surgery and really want it. I don't think they see that in Claussen.
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.

Good luck to Brandon. Seems like a decent guy. However, as a REDS diehard I will not miss him.

I think it is way too soon. If they make another console, they are admitting the Wii U as a failure and the next console wouldn't sell well because those who bought Wii U aren't going to just drop it. As for another handheld; do you really need another one so soon? They've put out a new model for the past 3 years in a row.

I'm holding out for Gameboy Ultra and Nintendo 7. I wouldn't expect the successor to arrive until 2017 at the earliest, though. I would be floored if they released it in 2015. That's a 3 year life span for Wii U, and it would be a major hit to Nintendo financially to prep and release a new console so soon. I think they should completely drop the Wii name next gen obviously, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to continue supporting Wii U for the Wii BC and make some "light" casual and kid-friendly games on it to offer an affordable alternative to Nintendo 7. By that time it could be like $150.
Bayonetta will obviously not sell a huge amount of Wii U systems, but it remains a significant pillar in drawing in consumers interested in the hardcore franchise, and otherwise not-so-interested in Nintendo games.
But...but..bu...Nintendo built a new building!

Cholocandy posted...
So, what do you guys think? Clearly the Wii U doesn't have much life left on it's own, so what console do you think will Nintendo pull out now? They've announced a totally new console for "developing economies", so do you think that could be it? It would make sense for them to try again after one failed attempt. On the other hand, they've proven themselves in the portable market, so maybe they'll have a go at it again? Which one would you prefer, and which one do you think they should try?
I haven't heard of this, so I don't know if it's true or not. However, to me, that sounds like corporate speak for a stripped down version to be sold at a cheaper price. Perhaps a much more inexpensively made gamepad, or no game pad at all, and/or no internet connectivity out of the box-an adapter (proprietary, of course) must be purchased separately.
As far as a new system, I think that they'll go with the rumored "Fusion" stuff that was mentioned months ago. I'm guessing that it'll still be two different systems, console and handheld, but the architecture in both will be similar enough to make developing and porting for both that much easier (faster).
For whatever reason, I made it up in my mind that their next system would be a portable with television connectivity, that would serve as both handheld and home system, but it probably wouldn't be cost effective enough for N, what with needed to somehow connect up to for controllers, having USB ports, HDMI ports, WiFi, CPUs and all that other s***.
We'll see.

Lots of interesting views here. I've also learnt of this new "Fusion" thing just now. I looked it up, and it looks really impressive... too impressive.
I'll fathom it'll be either really expensive, or a greatly exaggerated rumor... or maybe it could be the new console for growing economies that I was talking about.

Today is the 6th of December and we are 16 days away form the start of winter. you would think it was here already as every lake here is frozen solid. On that date RA will begin his long climb back towards summer and the days will begin to get longer and I look forward to that. if your lucky enough to be living where there is open water , turn off your PC and go paddle it. Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year Cheers, Greg

In my relentless search for places to escape the cold, I found Mexico! A refuge from the polar vortexes of the U.S. and also a paddlers paradise. There is so much diversity of whitewater that you need multiple river craft to enjoy it all!

The spring is always very early here, in the Soca valley, in Slovenia. Last weekend we were expecting some rain, and one for our friend, Bojan Rušjan told, if we are lucky, we can try to paddle on Idrija river. It is a small creek on the border of Italy and Slovenia. Close to the Soca valley, Idrija is one of those creeks, which is possible to paddle only after a big rain.…Continue

I've seen a lot of SUP products over the last few years, some good, some bad. Recently I had the chance to paddle some Glide SUP boards, traditional surfboard design with a bombproof GSS coating. My Glide boards have fallen from the roof rack to the cement, t-boned other surfboards in the ocean and been ridden across thousands of rocks without any damage.Continue

From a report it seems that klepper, the folding kayak company will cease production of their single seat and two seat classic kayaks in Germany. They may try to have them made in a country with lower manufacturing costs. Klepper kayaks have been around since 1907 and in 1956 Dr Hanns Lindman crossed the Atlantic ocean unassited or sponsored in a stock Aerius two kayak which he bought himself and made a few minor changes.

What I Wish I Knew Before My Trip to Animal Kingdom
If you are planning your very first visit to the Walt Disney World Resort, I'm sure you've made lists of what attractions you want to see, what characters you want to meet, and I bet you even made those dining reservations the day you booked your trip, right? But despite all your planning and newly accumulated park knowledge, it's still easy to make those Disney World Rookie mistakes. My goal today is to let you in on some tips and info that I wish I had known before my park visits to help your first time trip to Walt Disney World run smoothly. I've already covered What I Wish I Knew Before My Trip to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot; and so for today, I'm tackling What I Wish I Knew Before My Trip to Animal Kingdom!
It Is Meant To Be Explored & Discovered
Disney's Animal Kingdom is all about the magic of nature and living things, and in staying true to that theme this park features a more organic design and encourages guests to explore. The Oasis–the entryway into the park–is quite a departure from the Magic Kingdom's Main Street, U.S.A. or Hollywood Studios' Hollywood Boulevard in that there's no one way to reach the main part of the park and no visible icon pulling you down the pavement. Instead, The Oasis is thick, lush, and has a number of exhibits to enjoy at your own leisurely pace.
Animal Kingdom also offers a number of wildlife trails throughout the park, such as the Discovery Island Trails and the Maharajah Jungle Trek. Unlike centerpiece attractions or eye-catching shops, these trails somewhat blend in with the environment and may be missed if you're not looking for them. Unlike shuffling through a line or seeing a choreographed show or effect, the trails are self-guided and can be enjoyed at a guest's own pace. I also appreciate the little paths and hidden seating areas that lay off the beaten path throughout the Animal Kingdom Park and some of which offer spectacular views! So when you visit Disney's Animal Kingdom, remember that this is a different kind of park that it's meant to be explored and discovered.
The Magic, The Memories, and Merch! January 2016 Photo Report of the Disney Outlet Store
Welcome to the latest edition of The Magic, The Memories, and Merch! the longest running monthly look at the Disney Outlet Stores in Orlando. The new year has started off exactly where the old one left us: with Walt Disney World closing attractions. It has been a pretty cool month though, including a cool Star Wars runDisney race out in California (and Star Wars fans owe it to themselves to watch a great parody of Undercover Boss featuring Kylo Ren). Erin Foster took us inside Vanellope's on the Disney Dream, and for those who don't know, this is a complete Wreck-It-Ralph themed sweet shop (pinch us, we're dreaming). And Guy Selga introduced us to Four Glorious New Ways to Kill Time at Disneyland, including the am I dreaming this, or is this real Jungle Cruise Skipper School. 2016 is shaping up to be an incredible year.
Now while all of you were off taking your kids to see Donald Trump, Outlet Intern Julia Mascardo and I were hard at work to bring you the quality Outlet coverage you
expect deserve!
Enough jibber jabber! Who is ready to hit the Outlets? Remember that clicking on any picture will open a full size version of it (don't say we didn't warn you).
The first item this month made my heart grow three sizes (after double checking, that enlargement of the heart was actually due to eating the Pop-Tart Sandwich at Pop Century). Behold the Luigi's Flying Tires hat! Anyone who has visited the Disney Dump has seen the remnants of this attraction, which opened with the debut of Cars Land in the summer of 2012 and was already closed by the ending of February 2015. Believe it or not, despite only being open for only 976 days, Luigi's doesn't even rank in the Top Five of Short Lived Disney Attractions. Originally $24.95, this baby could be sitting on your head for just $6.99. VIVA LA DISNEY OUTLETS!

Tsum Tsums returned this month! However it was mostly the ones we have seen in the past (including all seven of the dwarfs), but one that was new was this crying duck. I had literally no idea who this was, but found out it was the Ugly Duckling from a quick scene in Lilo & Stitch. That's what we call a deep dive, and I love it. I actually dropped Loot Crate this month and started up the Disney Tsum Tsum Monthly Subscription Program, so starting in February I too will annoy you with unboxing videos (although my last one didn't go so well).
What To Do With Teens at Downtown Disney Once DisneyQuest is Gone
So you want to check out Downtown Disney during your next trip to Walt Disney World. The problem is…you have teenagers. Will they want to be pulled away from the thrill rides and water parks for several hours of shopping? Will there be anything for them? Is it even worth a try?
For years, DisneyQuest was a haven at Downtown Disney for older kids and teens, an interactive playground of sorts with experiences such as the Virtual Jungle Cruise and CyberSpace Mountain. It first opened in 1998, and unfortunately it hasn't changed much since then. In fact, during my last visit, DisneyQuest reminded me more of my local arcade with its faded carpets and outdated technology than something I would expect to find at Disney World. What I did notice was that older kids and teens, despite having smartphones in their pockets and the latest game consoles at home, were still having fun playing around DisneyQuest. But now, Disney has announced that DisneyQuest will be closing its doors for good in 2016.
So the question is: what does Downtown Disney have to offer this age group now? Is it all just stores and restaurants for Mom and Dad? No way! During my last visit to Downtown Disney, I discovered many restaurants and stores that I think teens are sure to enjoy. Like what? I'm here to tell you all about it with What To Do With Teens Once DisneyQuest is Gone.
Dining Changes at Disney's Animal Kingdom this June
Disney's Animal Kingdom has seen quite a few dining changes recently, with the addition of Harambe Market and Tamu Tamu's switch back to selling sweet treats like ice cream (and Dole Whips with rum!)
This June, there will be a few more dining changes in this park. First, the former Creature Comforts store, which has been announced as the most recent place to get a cup of Starbucks coffee, will reopen in Discovery Island on June 18.
This location will be just like the other Starbucks locations at the theme parks, offering coffee, espresso, frappuccinos, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and Disney-crafted snacks and treats.
This location is the fourth and final Starbucks to be located in a park. The other shops can be found at:
- Main Street Bakery – Magic Kingdom
- Fountain View – Epcot
- Trolley Car Café – Disney's Hollywood Studios
There are also two additional Starbucks locations at Downtown Disney: one is a walk up window, found on the Marketplace side, and the other is a full-fledged Starbucks, found on the West Side.

Daisy Lauren's Best Week Ever: April 23, 2015
Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Best Week Ever here at Walt Disney World. This week we're visiting Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Not to mention we're also stopping by Downtown Disney and Disney's Polynesian Resort. Phew, that's a lot! Let's get moving!
The best place to start is where I've visited the most the past few weeks. Not once, not twice, but five times we've visited Disney's Polynesian Resort trying to get into the newly opened Trader Sam's Grog Grotto. The wait has never been less than an hour and to be frank, I just don't want to go to a bar that badly!
However, the time spent at the resort has led to some great photos of the new lobby and the tiki that has been recently added. For anyone not on Twitter, the Disney community has started calling this tiki by the name "Shruggie". He was mainly given this name because his stance makes it look like he's shrugging and declaring that the lobby renovation wasn't his idea! It really finishes the lobby renovation now that he's in place.

Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Best Week Ever here at Walt Disney World. This week we're visiting the Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, spending an evening at the Magic Kingdom, and stopping by Epcot. Who is ready for some special Easter fun?
If you've never visited during this time of year you might not know about a special display at the Grand Floridian. For just a few special weeks, incredible hand painted candy eggs are put out on display in the lobby of the hotel. Each of these eggs weigh between 9 and 12 pounds and stand anywhere from 16 to 20 inches tall. It's pretty incredible to see! Starting with this special egg that's on display in the lobby at the villas:

SATURDAY SIX: Six Theme Park Questions For the Magic 8 Ball
This week's SATURDAY SIX takes a look at Six Theme Park Questions For the Magic 8 Ball. Theme park fans have a lot of questions. In fact, the mailbag at the Saturday Six offices is stuffed with letters from fans asking about their favorite Orlando parks. Unfortunately, thanks to TV being our babysitter growing up, our reading comprehension isn't that great. We hired some interns to handle the mail, but they are even worse because of YouTube, Vine and Twitter (enjoy life now because we're all doomed when this generation takes control of things.) So we did the only thing that we could do given the circumstances….we made up our own questions.
# 6 – What will Avatarland do in the area of merchandise?
Disney has slowly been giving us information on the upcoming Avatar expansion at Animal Kingdom, including the groundbreaking ceremony in early 2014 in which Imagineers used 10 foot shovels. Several attractions have been vaguely teased, and the point is always stressed that this land is attempting to be one of the most amazing experiences in theme park history. It's James Cameron and Walt Disney Imagineering, two of the best in the world at what they do.
However, one thing that hasn't been mentioned at all is what kind of retail opportunities there will be in this land, if any. Avatar is the most successful movie in the history of cinema, but it does not lead itself to the traditional methods of merchandising that Universal has used for its Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The third act of Avatar is hinged on the fact that the humans have nothing to offer the Na'vi, because the natives of Pandora have no use for materialistic things. What are those materialistic things? Shirts, action figures, magnets, and pretty much anything else you would find in a theme park gift shop.
Daisy Lauren's Best Week Ever: February 26, 2015
Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Best Week Ever here at Walt Disney World. This week we're spending evenings in Disney's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom, having dinner at The Hollywood Brown Derby, and visiting Animal Kingdom for some bright blue skies. Three parks in one week! This is going to be a blast, let's get going!
First, check out this view from the entrance of the Disney's Hollywood Studios! You can almost see what this will look like once the hat is completely removed. While it was sad to watch it come apart, in the end I'm glad it's gone. I can't wait to see the last pieces removed and this view restored. What do you think now that it's coming together? Do you still miss the hat?

Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Best Week Ever here at Walt Disney World. This week we'll be stopping by Beach Club Resort and Epcot for dinner. Then we're checking out what's new at Disney's Hollywood Studios and spending a little time at the Magic Kingdom for an epic view of the Festival of Fantasy Parade. I have so much to share with you, let's get going!
On Friday night when we decided we needed a Disney style dinner we'd originally set out for Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. This is an awesome spot for a casual hamburger, but unfortunately it was packed when we got there and reservations weren't available. With the My Disney Experience App we were able to find a table available at Tokyo Dining over at Epcot. We spent a little time strolling through the Beach Club on our way there. Wow, it's beautiful! I haven't stayed at this hotel since I was a kid. Look at it now!
So who wants to visit Tokyo Dining with me? Click here to read more!

Starbucks for Disney's Animal Kingdom Is On Its Way
It was really the worst kept secret, but Disney made it official when it announced today that the Creature Comforts shop is indeed being converted into Disney's Animal Kingdom's Starbucks location. Very little details were released, but we did get a nice piece of concept art, which shows that the inside will fit in very well with the theme park's overall design. (P.S.: those light fixtures are phenomenal! This may actually be my favorite design.)

Who Does the Blame Fall on For the Bucs' Loss to the Jets?
This morning I joined Eric Lopez on Sports Talk 1040 and 1080 during our?weekly Tuesday segment?to talk about the state of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the team's sloppy season opener against the New York Jets. Among some of the topics discussed:
There were dozens of mistakes made throughout the game, including 13 penalties. Which ones are correctable and which ones are more concerning moving forward?
Davin Joseph said yesterday that the team wasn't prepared for the noise at MetLife Stadium. I raised this question: With a coaching staff essentially twice the size of any other in the National Football League, with Butch Davis and Jimmy Raye, and?Dave Wannstedt, a head coach himself on-staff, how was this overlooked?
Josh Freeman and the offense looked lost out there. Why?was this unit?so out of rhythm? Who does this fall on? Is it Freeman or does this fall back on the coaching staff?
Did the coaching staff set Freeman up to fail by giving him little time in the preseason in hopes Glennon would blossom? For a quarterback who, historically has shown he needs a few series to develop a rhythm, why was he kept out of the preseason?
Schiano said yesterday that he doesn't have any regrets about playing his starters so little during the four exhibition games.?Would that have made a difference?
What?could the Bucs?essentially have done to avoid such a disastrous start that really?wasn't reflected in the final score and how can they fix things moving forward?
You can listen to it all here:
As always, I'm all ears to hearing what you guys think. Hit me up on Twitter @JennaLaineBucs?or on Facebook. I'll be back on with Eric this Friday at 7:30 to preview Bucs-Saints, so tune in then as well!

Japan: Sadamu Patek enables Take to end Grade 1 drought
The 4-year-old colt Sadamu Patek won his first Grade 1 race, and gave jockey Yutaka Take his first Grade 1 win in nearly two years, in Sunday's $2.6 million Mile Championship at Kyoto, Japan.
Sadamu Patek, a 9-1 shot, held off a late threat from 3-1 favorite Grand Prix Boss to win the race by a neck in 1:32.90. Donau Blue, a 4-year-old filly, finished third in the field of 18.
Sadamu Patek, trained by Masato Nishizono for Sadamu Onishi, was in mid-pack for the first half of the race and saved ground on the turn.
By Fuji Kiseki, Sadamu Patek was second in the Grade 1 Japanese 2000 Guineas in 2011, and had won three Grade 2 and Grade 3 races in the last two seasons.
Take, a former champion jockey in Japan, had not won a Grade 1 since Rose Kingdom in the 2010 Japan Cup.
The field for the Mile Championship consisted entirely of Japanese-based runners, the first time in seven years that the race did not have foreign involvement.

Sept 2015: Studio Algorhythmics is participating at a project by Theater Basel directed by Kevin Rittberger called Community in Progress. The project is about syntegrity, Stafford Beer, cybernetics, system thinking, ecology and future communities. A good opportunity to make a second version of Studies on Criticality (1, 2). A experimental workshop with Andrew Pickering is planned.
More news will follow.]]>
April 2015: Studio Algorhythmics gave a workshop for kids making small 555 oscillator circuits for kids and adults in the framework of Oslo Night 2015 and "Critical Make" an exhibition in HeK. The plan was to give an improvised spatial multi-channel concert after, but there were too few participants. Thanks to Serena Cangiano from Fablab Lugano for making the synthesizer-holder (seen on last picture).

The speakers were driven by a 5A lab power source (standing on the floor in the final installation) and controlled by an ArduinoMega and a self-made-"shield" (PCB to connect with the sockets of the arduino) with many darlington array circuits. The speakers are self-made, since funnels/sinkholes are misused as speaker cones and the small speakers have been glued into the center of the funnels. All connections are soldered by hand. The ArduinoMega is connected to an processing program via serial communication. The processing program generated the cellular automata and patterns. Some further developments, such as using bigger speakers, test out different spatial set-ups and architectures are planned for the future.

July 2014: Studies On Criticality No. N-Series is planned as an installation and experiment that explores self-organized criticality as an aesthetic phenomenon primarily but not solely by ear. The projects inquires this aspect of criticality defined as one of the crucial processes by which complexity arises in nature within the aesthetic framework of a minimalistic massive-multi-soundsource setting each of the soundsources acting as an audible cell of an artificial organism or an unit of a swarm. Hopefully the critical moments of such a programmed artificial non-linear system and its transitions from simple oscillation to complex behavior and finally to random noise will get audible. An Arduino Mega 2560, some mini-speakers (diameter about 1cm) and cables were used for prototyping. A first tentative to-do list (order is not significant) to achieve this idealistic goal was made:
According to its datasheet the resonance frequency of the mini speaker (MCKP1227SP1-4721 by Multicomp) is 1.3kHz, but it seems to be more in the area between 1400 and 1600Hz. A diy-frequency responce testing was done using Supercollider3 to create the test sweep signal and the build-in microphone of a MacBookPro to measure/ record the response. The frequency analysis was done with Audacity. The loudest frequency seems to be 8589Hz and 8880Hz (see diagrams below).1
Here is the mini code for Supercollider3 for creating the sweep:
{ Pulse.ar(XLine.kr(40,20000,10),0.5, 0.5) }.play;
Connecting the speakers to an Arduino (not restricted to Mega 2560)
Testing simple snippets for LED-blinking, tone generation, timer control for parallel signal generation etc. with an Arduino Duemilanove (ATMega168) was first confusing since some snippets worked some not. After half a week of try and error, the importance of current draw calculation, measurement and the use of series resistor at the pins has been learned. To be more concrete:
digitalWrite(13, digitalRead(13)^1); or
digitalWrite(13, !digitalRead(13)); both seem to be good optimizations of
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(some value); digitalWrite(13, LOW); delayMicroseconds(some value); – these optimizations are important in context of "timing" explained in the next section – but need more detailed understanding.
In case the mini speaker (with 8Ω impedance, it draws 625mA) is directly connected to the specified pin the optimizations don't work. First of all the rule that you always need a series resistor at the pins was unknown and secondly the exact working of the optimizations were as well unclear. These are the concrete snippets:
void setup()
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
void loop()
digitalWrite(13, digitalRead(13)^1);
delayMicroseconds(57.24); // this is not working with an 8Ω impedance speaker
void setup()
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
void loop()
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // but this will
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
using the tone() function is as well working.
void setup()
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
void loop()
tone(13, 8735);
Measuring the currents with a multimeter (Tenma 72-7745) at the specified pin the first code produces 71.5mA, both the second and last 36.5mA, which is under the maximum output value of 40mA. The first is above. Why?
Some guys via electronics.stackexchange.com helped me. The best explanations is: "digitalRead reads the state of the pin, not the value in the output register. If a heavy load is pulling the pin voltage low then it will read as logic 0 even if the output register bit is set to 1. Your first code example tries to toggle the output level by inverting the logic level found on the pin, but because it is always reading low the output will always be set high. Current is doubled because the output is 'high' 100% of time, not the 50% you expected."
The solution for this is very simple: series resistors. Another problem is that the frequency definde via digitalWrite/Read is not exactly the same as calculated. The function delayMicroseconds(57.24) in combination with digitalWrite should create a square wave with a frequency of 8735Hz (=[1'000'000us/57.24us]/2), but in concrete implementation created a frequency of 7.65kHz (with digitalWrite(13, digitalRead(13)^1);) and 8.16kHz with the latter method measured with the Temna 72-7745 digital mult67imeter. In contrast tone() played the frequency more or less as coded, which was 8.77kHz at 28 Celsius.
Using the "timers" on the Arduino-Chips to enable parallel signals
In order to produce two or more different frequencies at two different pins some googling and reading was required, since it is a bit more complicated. Simply rowing the instructions will not work. It will create a mixed signal. For example using
delayMicroseconds(60); in such a way (see below) will not create a frequency in the 8kHz area, but 3.875kHz, which is the about the half of the measured value (7.78kHz) for 60us.
void setup()
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
void loop()
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
digitalWrite(3, HIGH);
digitalWrite(3, LOW);
Measured by an oscilloscope (Teledyne Lecroy WaveAce 1012) both signals look the same and have a frequency of about 3.87kHz. The "gap" between the squares is showing that the loop is as programmed alternating between doing digitalWrite for pin 13 and 3. Overlapping them creates the double frequency.
For a massive multi channel setting one needs to work with the "timers".2 They are functional units of the ATmega chips on the Arduinos that count (via incrementing). For that reason they are sometimes are called "counters". Timers are synchronized with the CPU clock. The timer can count to a certain value. It increments this counter one step at a time until it reaches its maximum value, at which point it overflows, and resets back to zero. This "feature" is used to generate a HIGH-signal at pin. The counter value and the incrementation (rate and bits per count) are thus defining the frequency (again half of it) of the signal.
The Arduino Mega 2560 has a 16 MHz crystal oscillator and has the following timers:
This means that it can simultanously supply 15 individual pins at the same time, but one timer can generate only one frequency at a time. This means 5 different frequencies for 15 switchable pins.
