RIR brings exposure, money to county
By Tom Lappas, Henrico Citizen Editor 02/16/11
It began 65 years ago as little more than a dusty oval at a rural fairgrounds. Today, it hosts more than a quarter-million visitors annually, is home to the only major league sporting events in Virginia and perhaps does more than any other single entity to attract national and international attention to Henrico County.
It's the Richmond International Raceway, and its legacy has earned it the No. 21 spot on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant moments in Henrico history.
The raceway holds an important spot not only in Henrico history but also in the history of its sport and NASCAR (the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing). Only three tracks (in Daytona, Fla., Martinsville, Va. and Darlington, S.C.) have continuously hosted NASCAR races at their present locations longer than RIR. Unlike many of the now-defunct tracks that hosted races in the sport's early years, RIR has survived – and thrived.
As a result, it's help stamp Henrico County on the national and international racing landscape.
"We think this adds a lot to the quality of life in this community," said RIR President Doug Fritz, who has been at the helm of the raceway since International Speedway Corporation purchased it from its longtime owners, the Sawyer family, in 1999. "We're very proud to be part of Henrico County and the history of Henrico County. Our entire life has been here in Henrico County.
The last 50 years have been great years for Henrico County, and we like to think that we're some of the reason for that success."
The raceway, which hosts two race weekends annually, generates an estimated $417 million each year in total economic impact for the Metro Richmond region and helps employ nearly 7,000 people, according to the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau. Even non-NASCAR fans who live in the county and have never attended a race feel the benefits produced by RIR.
"The economic benefit you can see both directly and indirectly," said John Vithoulkas, Henrico County finance director, who said the county receives $1 million annually in direct real estate, business license tax and business personal property tax payments and hotel taxes. "And that doesn't include sales taxes generated by all the fans."
RIR and tourism officials estimate that the track's events generate $75 million a year in overall tax revenue to the county, state and federal governments.
A changing landscape
It's hard to say how Ted Horn would fare in a modern racecar at RIR today – where drivers exceed 120 mph and sometimes race three-wide – but it's safe to say he was adequately prepared for its first official race, which he won on Oct. 12, 1946 in an open-wheel car that averaged nearly 46 mph. The track was then a half-mile dirt oval at the Atlantic Rural Exposition Fairgrounds known to some as the Strawberry Hill Speedway.
The track held its first NASCAR event April 19, 1953 – a 100-mile race won by legend Lee Petty. Two years later, Paul Sawyer and driver Joe Weatherly purchased the facility, presiding over its growing reputation that led to a second NASCAR race being added to its annual schedule in 1959. The twice-yearly schedule has continued since, and today RIR is one of 13 tracks to host two Sprint Cup Series races a year and one of only 10 to host two Nationwide Series races annually.
In 1968, the track was paved for the first time, and in 1988, it was lengthened to its current and distinctive three-quarter-mile shape. It's the only track on the NASCAR circuit of that length, and drivers and fans alike appreciate its unique elements that often result in exciting, competitive races rather than monotonous ones. RIR's capacity has grown steadily from 58,000 in 1992 to its officially listed capacity of 98,000 today (though a number of races in recent years have attracted crowds of more than 100,000). The raceway's 33-race sellout streak ended in Sept. 2008.
While many other tracks on the NASCAR circuit are located on the outskirts of cities, surrounded by asphalt and little else, RIR is clearly the product of humble beginnings, still sitting adjacent to modest neighborhoods and surrounded by industrial parks and suburban roads.
When ISC bought the facility, it was still sharing some "amenities" with its neighbor, the State Fair of Virginia.
"We still had chicken coops and horse stalls and hen houses and all that," Fritz said.
ISC and RIR have added new amenities during the past 12 years, including the Torque Club, which sits high above the track and offers spectators what Fritz calls "one of the best fan experiences you can have in any sport," and a new LED scoring tower and video screen that debuted last year, allowing every spectator to see the race leaders. Today, "we're considered one of the most premier sports facilities in this country," he said.
Fritz made a point to take advantage of the track's unique setting to develop relationships with its neighbors. He opened the facility to the community, inviting residents of Essex Village and other neighborhoods to enjoy National Night Out cookouts and take pace-car laps around the track. He's also involved track employees in a plethora of community initiatives through the years.
"It's the right thing to do," he said. "We wanted people to see that we're not just the 'Green Giant' across the street. We do care about this community, and a lot of our efforts are focused on the youth."
Wide-reaching impact
The overall impact that RIR has on Henrico County and Metro Richmond from a national and international standpoint may be difficult to judge specifically, but it's clear that the exposure it provides to the region through a sport with an estimated 75 million fans is significant. For those who watch races in person, on television or who listen on radio, Richmond International Raceway is a familiar name.
"We are drawing fans on every NASCAR weekend from all 50 states, and that's great exposure for Henrico County," Fritz said. "Some of the fans come back to visit Henrico County. And this is a part of the country that they may not have seen if not for Richmond International Raceway."
In addition to hosting two weekends of NASCAR racing every year – each of which makes the complex the eighth-largest city in Virginia for one day – the raceway complex hosts dozens of conventions, expos and shows in its expo halls throughout the year, bringing thousands more regional visitors to Henrico County.
When NASCAR switched to a new playoff system in 2004, RIR realized more good fortune as the host of the final race before the 10-race playoff began. Each year since, drivers on the fringe of the playoff chase have come to Richmond anxious to make one final push before the watchful eyes of NASCAR nation.
Late last year, the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau launched a proactive effort to encourage businesses and fans to purchase tickets to both of this year's races as a way to solidify RIR's hold on its twice-annual schedule. This year, Atlanta and Fontana, Calif., each lost one of their two races, and Fritz said there's no guarantee from year to year that any track will maintain two races.
"I feel pretty good, but we can't be complacent," he said. "This is very important for us as a community. It's not going to be easy, and it's going to take a lot of work on a lot of people's parts, including mine, to keep two races here.
"But as long as people keep supporting Richmond International Raceway, we're going to be here a long time"
Richmond International Raceway will host its 110th Sprint Cup Series race April 30, one day after it hosts the Nationwide Series race. For tickets or details, visit http://www.rir.com.

Aine20 hours agoAineWell, I have a huge cause to be grateful tonight. On his way home from work in our only running vehicle, my husband stopped at a store. When he came out, the truck would not work. Fuel pump kaput. 🙁 And…no cell service in that area. He was near the time that the store was closing, but, though they were going out for a little while, they live on site and would be back. They let him use their phone to call me so I wouldn't worry and to call roadside assist. It is now past the time when I ought to have heard something, so I do not know yet if roadside assist made it in the projected hour. However, I did get hold of some dear friends of ours (Family of Choice folks), and they will get him home once he shows up. And not only that… This wonderful man actually volunteered to get up tomorrow morning to get my husband to work by 8am an hour away, then go home, and go back to pick him up when he gets off at 5pm. My heart is choked up at such generosity of spirit, and humbled by so great an extension of kindness. I am so very grateful to have such loving friends in our life! And, hey, this happening gives me one more opportunity to learn the lesson that I really am not in control! That seems to be the Lesson du Jour of late!! 😀 1 Reply Share ©had7 hours ago©hadgreat testimony aine. goes to show you that despite the news being majority negative, good stuff is happening everyday way more than the negative. 0 Reply Share Aine4 hours agoAineThanks, Chad. Bad is not always bad! And the way it shook out has been even better! It had gotten rather later than when I thought he ought to have been back home, but there was nothing I could do about it. I sat down to release the situation and pray, then a few minutes later, my husband pulled in the yard with a slightly familiar looking stranger. Although the tow company messed up and, when finally contacted, could not get there for another hour and a half, my husband had not been left alone to wait. This nice man had stayed well past his time to go home to his wife, kept my husband company, and then drove him fifteen miles one way to bring him home. It is such a blessing to see good people everywhere, even if it takes having something like a vehicle problem to show that to us! 😀 0 Reply Share Anna20 mins agoAnnaAine our world is rich in wonderful people. We can hope. Your story shows that. If we trust love, love spreads everywhere. 0 Reply Share Aine1 day agoAineMary — in line with our recent discussion on the completeness of cats napping, I offer you Wilbur the Wonderful, who was overcome by sunshine while walking past the sliders and just, well, you can see what happened… 😀 1 Reply Share Mary20 hours agoMaryOh what a happy boy! what a gorgeous cat!

Thanks Aine, great picture! 0 Reply Share Aine20 hours agoAineThanks, Mary. Wilbur really is a great cat, very laid back and loving. He even let my friend's toddler pat him yesterday and rubbed all over him with head hugs.

I scored pretty low on the test that rates you on self compassion. That was interesting. But I am already using what I have learned and it is making a difference. We are getting there Gargi, one step at a time, and with lots of gentleness to ourselves. I am very happy that you are feeling better! I am so glad you joined this site.

Love, Mary 0 Reply Share Ursula1 day agoUrsulaThank you, Aine, your posts are always treasures!! Much love, Ursula 1 Reply Share Bleach2 days agoBleachI often hear people who talk about gratitude say that even during hard times, we should focus on the positive things. The problem with this, however, is it still labels the "negative" things as being "bad" and simply redirects focus away from the issue at hand. Instead, I like to be grateful for the difficulties and challenges in life as well because it is through these that we grow in wisdom. 2 Reply Share Aine2 days agoAineYour post reminds me of this story I heard some time ago: An old Zen story goes like this: An old Chinese farmer had a mare that broke through the fence and ran away. When his neighbors learned of it, they came to the farmer and said, "What bad luck this is. You don't have a horse during planting season." The farmer listened and then replied, "Bad luck, good luck. Who knows?" A few days later, the mare returned with two stallions. When the neighbors learned of it, they visited the farmer. "You are now a rich man. What good fortune this is," they said. The farmer listened and again replied, "Good fortune, bad fortune. Who knows?" Later that day, the farmer's only son was thrown from one of the stallions and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to the farmer. "It is planting season and now there is no one to help you," they said. "This is truly bad luck." The farmer listened, and once more he said, "Bad luck, good luck. Who knows?" The very next day, the emperor's army rode into the town and conscripted the eldest son in every family. Only the farmer's son with his broken leg remained behind. Soon the neighbors arrived. Tearfully, they said, "Yours is the only son who was not taken from his family and sent to war. What good fortune this is…" * * * 1 Reply Share Anna1 day agoAnnaVery interesting Aine! I don't know why and also if there is some link to that, but I am thinking of The book of Job. Such a patience and wisdom! See you soon here, dear Aine! 0 Reply Share Aine1 day agoAineI like Job, too, Anna! Job is such a deep story with so many nuances and layers. During Lent, a friend and I were reading a book by Michael Card called A Sacred Sorrow: Reaching Out to God in the Lost Language of Lament, and Job was one of the mentors of lament. I resonated with him especially because I have been struggling with similar losses (health, family, finances) over the past nine years and even went through a painful condition on my legs that was probably much like his skin issues. I had not realized all the likenesses until I read the Michael Card book, oddly enough, but it gave me a personal insight into it, a different take on it than I had when I read the book of Job years ago. That all helped my healing and acceptance a good bit. 🙂 I think that one positive purpose of looking at losses and grief, of what there might be to lament in our lives, is that we can then choose to be grateful. We can do ourselves a disservice by sweeping aside lament in the pursuit of peace or gratitude because peace and gratitude often come as a result of moving through lament to the other side rather than bypassing it. Gratitude feels so much better, but sometimes we have to go through times of lament before we can get there. Job's losses were not all returned to him. The losses that must have hurt the most, his children, were never able to be restored even though he had more children after the first set. He went into the experiences of pain and loss as one person, hung on for dear life, and emerged with a greater depth to his being somehow. And by the end, his reaction is one of peace and gratitude and the acceptance of things too big for him to understand. Pretty amazing, really. 🙂 0 Reply Share Anna1 day agoAnnaI completely agree with you Aine. 0 Reply Share Gargi1 day agoGargiWhat a beautiful story…….welcoming all our experiences. 0 Reply Share Aine1 day agoAineGargi, It is a challenge to see them all as neither good nor bad, but in the end, I think it makes a very good point. Now I just need to get better at seeing my own experiences that way! 😀 0 Reply Share Gargi1 day agoGargiIt is indeed challenging, I realise during contemplation it is easy and right in middle of it………it is a different story, but like brother David says if we keep trying then during rough weather we will not get blown. The words he used are different but my simple understanding. Nevertheless your words were a very good reminder for me as I have been struggling and pushing something away and what I did not know till after reading your words I said I welcome What I am pushing away and may it teach me lessons from which I can grow, it is yielding 🙂 2 Reply Share Eric3 days agoEricToday is Sunday. As I sat in contemplation this morning, many of the associations one has about Sunday passed through my mind. The day of rest; Sunday school, church services, etc. There was the sense that somehow, today is different from other days but there was something odd about this thought. It took a moment to clarify this "oddness" and then I realized, all the associations about "Sunday" are imposed on the direct experience. Today is not "Sunday", it's just "today". Then calmness returned. Such are the momentary confusions we create. Best to smile. 1 Reply Share Juan F2 days agoJuan FNicely said eric! I sometimes think too much and label my thoughts. But they are just thoughts like them all!! Peace and clarity is within all of our grasp. Good vibes 😀 2 Reply Share BKC5 days agoBKCI am thinking about my husband today. My beautiful husband works hard, always puts our family first, is the most reliable person I know and loves me. However, since I have begun the effort to be more grateful, I find a sense of peace and patience. I want him to experience it, and share it. I realize that something like this must be found on your own, in your own way. I don't want to be that person that pushes it because it works for me. Just wondering how did you come to practice gratefulness and gratitude? Was it age? Was it an event? Was it a series of events? Maybe a friend you trust? Were you in pursuit of relief perhaps? 3 Reply Share Pilgrim4 days agoPilgrimI came to this particular page when it first started. I had participated in the online course of Pilgrimage with David Whyte and Brother David, because David Whyte's work has had a profound impact on my life. In that course (it wasn't the private e-course version available now), I found a wonderful group of seekers/pilgrims, and the interaction with them was also deeply impactful. This Lounge was created after that course ended, so we could keep interacting with one another. Most of those pilgrims have moved on from the site, and now new people join here all the time. It is a bit more open to our own questions to each other (different from question of the day), support to each other in many directions, and here we can add photos, links, and other kinds of recommendations to each other. 2 Reply Share Pilgrim4 days agoPilgrimI should say that the private e-course is the same course available now (which I am doing again privately) but without the interactive dimension of fellow pilgrims. 1 Reply Share Eric4 days agoEricI found this site after seeing Br. David's video "A Good Day". The message that the gift of each new day is the day itself moved me deeply and I wanted to know more. Some web searches later I came across this site and here we are. 3 Reply Share Aine4 days agoAineI found this site because everywhere I turned, the answer to helping my life improve was the same: practicing gratitude. Regardless of the spiritual path, that was the common denominator. In answer to your questions, for me, I think it was some of all of that, a composite of reasons that all came down to the same thing. (I'd say the friend who referred me was probably God, actually, since no one I know had ever heard of this site!) I had never had a lot of trouble being grateful or stopping to smell the roses, so to speak, but I had never thought of it as a discipline that could change my life if practiced faithfully. During a time of suffering, suddenly that message was just about everywhere! Well, when the same message comes up that often, from that many different places, and that decidedly, it is always a message from God/the Universe to me. So, I think I did something brilliant like googling "How to practice gratefulness," and up popped this wonderful site. 😀 My husband does not come in here, but he is very much desirous of increasing his own peace and gratitude. He is an engineer (computer systems), and his whole career has been centered around his talent for being about to troubleshoot. That, naturally, means looking for what is wrong so it can be fixed. However, he likes how he feels when he is in the moment, peaceful, and grateful, so he is working on it, too, in his own way. I posted this a couple months ago, I think before you joined us. I loved this, and I think you might enjoy this TEDTalk. The presenter has some wonderful practices that help us cultivate gratefulness for those in our lives. 😀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZIGekgoaz4 4 Reply Share Gargi1 day agoGargiThank you Aine for this U tube link. 0 Reply Share KC2 days agoKCThank you Aine for this YouTube link.

It is SO easy to be caught up in the computer or something else distracting and forget to do this, but I am making a concerted effort to add this one into my repertoire. I don't want to miss any of these everyday joys anymore! 0 Reply Share Aine2 days agoAineI do the five people one almost every morning. I'd say every morning, but occasionally something happens with one of the dogs so I have to jump out of bed without doing it. 😀 0 Reply Share KC1 day agoKCHmmm… I guess life happens and we make the best of it! Blessings for your day 🤗 1 Reply Share Gargi4 days agoGargiDear BKC I happened to chance on grateful.org one day searching in the net perticularly seeking a site for like minded people practicing a open minded yet spiritual/of value and love soul healing topics, as in my prayer's I had realised the virtue of contentment and satisfaction. Brother David books which I later purchased and read bought the word opportunity in my consciousness. I like you would like my children and husband to dwell and rest in this sanctuary of wellbeing, but I learn that if I am able to feel truly grateful and gratitude of the being in my heart then my very presence will have a soothing effect on my family and I then will be able to feel their presence as well. I can not but resist sometimes and share some articles with my children both grown up now, one 28 and other 19 years from grateful.org. My son who read an article by brother David about being in awe and he shared he is in awe when while doing research work he gets an insight to something new, and to my surprise he said I am in awe in nature and mummy I shall remind myself to open my self to surprise more often. My daughter asks me how my course with Lynn twist and brother David go but does not participate more than this, and my husband I guess just enjoys the change in me if any…….never asked. Yes I did chance upon this site seeking healing and relief and how to go about being grateful. Thank you for asking this question so that I could share my thoughts. 3 Reply Share Anna5 days agoAnnaDear BKC I came here thanks to a video from Brother David that my English teacher suggested to me. My husband knows that I visit gratefulness.org, because I often speak to him about the wonderful insights I read. He tells me that I have changed my attitude since I practice gratefulness. My husband is like yours, but to tell the truth, I like being here by myself. He has never asked to visit this site together with me. One reason is the language because he didn't learn English, other reasons are that he likes visiting different websites, above all music, and scientific or daily news. He enjoys that, and I think that this is his own way to be grateful. Enjoy your evening wherever you are dear BKC, I am looking for a little cool in the night after a very very very warm day! Weird climate here! 4 Reply Share Palm4 days agoPalmDear Anna, I enjoyed your post here thanks 😊 I also like to be on this site by myself, it's my own little oasis of peace. I can't even remember how I came here, I had created a profile long time ago, but only started practicing regularly since the beginning of this year, when I decided to write a good moment of each day in the journal, which was ideal for that and to cope with a bit of a challenging time.

A joy to read. 2 Reply Share Anna4 days agoAnnaThanks Kevin! 0 Reply Share Gargi4 days agoGargiThank you for sharing Anna. 1 Reply Share Eric5 days agoEricGood day to All! I posted a charming video on my site that I thought folks here would enjoy. With all the horrors displayed on the daily news, I found this reminder of "What a Wonderful World" to be just the thing I needed today. The video is here: http://mindmusing.net/what-a-wonderful-world/ I hope it's ok to post links to a personal site. Please let me know. 1 Reply Share Anna5 days agoAnnaIt is actually a charming video Eric! For me it is not a problem if you have posted a video from your site. I have enjoyed it! 1 Reply Share Gargi5 days agoGargiMy brother in law had sprinkled bird feed on the deck and squirrels were eating the feed……I saw a bird perched on the railing of the deck waiting for long long time for the squirrel to finish …….her disposition was that of No hurry, enough for all of us, love for her fellow living being…….. She yesterday taught me sharing and kindness. She was looking around as if conversing with the universe practicing gratitude for what is……. She bought calm and giving in me. 3 Reply Share Gargi6 days agoGargiSorry Mary missed your earlier post, I visited selfcompassion site and did self compassion loving kindness guided meditation. Your help was so seeked by me and came at the right time, 🙂 Some where I had read there is a inner child in us and a inner parent in us……if there is over parenting it is equally damaging. I was doing that to my self and did not know how to love myself in reality and yet I yearned not to control and be kind to myself. Thank you Thank you Mary. I will also see pilgrim link to the morning prayer now. 0 Reply Share Aine2 days agoAineGargi, I think many of us struggle with the same thing, with hearing a more negative inner parent voice telling us we are not measuring up and being unable to hear the inner child voice that says we are enough exactly as we are. Part of gratitude is tuning into that wide-eyed child again, the one who saw the world through eyes of wonder rather than of duty or fear, who viewed life as a series of Get To's rather than Have To's. 🙂 0 Reply Share Gargi1 day agoGargiThank you Aine! Thank you indeed. I re reread your words to it to sink to my subconscious. 0 Reply Share Mary5 days agoMaryYou are very kind Gargi. I helped you a little and you have helped yourself a lot. You have a lot of understanding about yourself and about spiritual matters. You are also so kind to everyone on this site. I can tell a lot of people care about you very much already. Peace and love to you, Gargi, Mary 1 Reply Share Eric6 days agoEricLive simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not. – Lao Tzu I came across this quote and posted to my site. It reminded me of the simplicity of being alive, despite the seeming complexity of our social lives. Over the years I tended to separate the spiritual from the rest of life, creating the idea that "being spiritual" was a special thing. But as I age (in my 60s now) I've noticed more and more that simply waking up every day is a spiritual experience if I so choose it to be. So my simplest experience of gratitude is waking up in the morning to start a new day. Here is the site post: http://mindmusing.net/live-simply/ 1 Reply Share Anna5 days agoAnnaThank you Eric for your words. I like so much when you say that waking up in the morning is a deep spiritual experience. 1 Reply Share Eric5 days agoEricThanks, Anna. It comes from an understanding that each morning truly could be my last. 1 Reply Share Gargi6 days agoGargiThank you for this insight. Yes thank you for this new day. 1 Reply Share Eric5 days agoEricMost welcome, Gargi. 🙂 0 Reply Share Pilgrim6 days agoPilgrimThis came to my inbox from Gratefulbalance.org this morning. I have known of this prayer for a long time, but was grateful to be reminded on today, my birthday : Days pass and the years vanish and we walk sightless among miracles. Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and our minds with knowing. Let there be moments when your presence, like lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk. Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns, unconsumed. And we, clay touched by God, will reach out for holiness and exclaim in wonder, "How filled with awe is this place and we did not know it." Jewish Sabbath Prayer 2 Reply Share Aine2 days agoAineOoooh, I love that! And a belated Birthday Blessing to you, Pilgrim. May this coming year bring your heart much healing, peace, and deep abiding joy. 😀 0 Reply Share Ursula2 days agoUrsulaDearest Pilgrim, with a little delay I want to wish you a Happy Birthday and the very best for the years to come! 🌺 Thank you for this most beautiful prayer! May I add one from San Francesco: 'May the Lord bless you. May the Lord keep you. May He show His face to you and have mercy. May He turn to you His countenance and give you peace. The Lord bless you, dear Pilgrim.' 0 Reply Share Anna6 days agoAnnaPilgrim! Dear friend, happy birthday! And what a beautiful prayer, i will copy it on my private journal. I hope that you are well, and that your days are filled with love, light and spiritual knowledge. I always find a lot of teachings in your posts. Be well. 0 Reply Share Pilgrim5 days agoPilgrimThank you, Anna! You are always so very kind to me.

Thank you, Mary 0 Reply Share Pilgrim5 days agoPilgrimThank you, Mary! 0 Reply Share Gargi6 days agoGargiI had a question I saw a insect which lights up in dark, I was very excited as I saw it after very many years and I got excited trying to think of light and and connection to god as light……I turned around asked my brother in law why do you think " they have light which shows" he said "oh phosphorous" I said oh and my excitement died down. Phosphorus no phosphorous it is wonder ……..but why did I stop holding it in awe. Why does explanation robbed me from the wonder? 0 Reply Share Aine2 days agoAineWell, he has phosphorus in HIS body, too, but I'll bet he cannot make his hind end light up! I think sometimes people push wonder to the side because it is not controllable or quantifiable, it just Is. This goes along with your previous comment about the inner parent and inner child. When we are children, all is new, all is wonder, and we need not be able to explain anything to experience it. When we "grow up" we start to try to explain everything, and we often do this at the expense of wonder. I think Anna is right, and a balance is good. 🙂 0 Reply Share Anna6 days agoAnnaDear Gargi, my brother-in-law is a math professor in one of the University of Milano and he is atheist. It seems that he can't break the wall of his scientific perspective in front of stunning places. It seems that he only seeks for the rational aspects of what he is seeing. I don't know his heart but for me it is not easy to speak to him, because, while I am interested in the scientific meaning of events, I am also taken by wonder, by awe, and also by phantasy…imagination… Our nature is a rich mixture of body, mind, heart, soul. A good balance is the door of peace and wisdom. 0 Reply Share Gargi6 days agoGargiThank you Anna, and like Eric said I have to remind myself of the thin line of spiritual and non spiritual and not think them to be different. 1 Reply Share Gargi6 days agoGargiThank you Mary, Anna, Kevin, pilgrim, Ursula and all at gratitude lounge, I with all of your help reflections slowly creating roots to grow for a mind terrain where gratitude can grow and thrive by practicing, to replace my feelings of scarcity to suffiency. To connect to the very source of all things inside me, I sincerely thank every one for helping me to take steps. Love to all. Gargi 1 Reply Share Ursula2 days agoUrsulaDear Gargi, my best to you! I appreciate that you are taking steps towards gratefulness daily and you are posting so much of your thoughts and experiences here. Sorry that I can't write so often, but I am happy if some of my thoughts can help you gain new insights! Very best and blessings to you, Gargi! 0 Reply Share BKC1 week agoBKCI have been practicing gratefulness here for just a few days, but have been trying to work on it for months. This site has been so effective for getting me there. Thank you. This morning I had a revelation, its been there all the time and I have noticed before, but I saw it differently this morning. Have you ever given any thought to how much we help each other as strangers? I am sure I know this already, but seeing it through the lens of "gratefulness" makes it so much more beautiful. (am I corny?) Today as I ran around in my harried fashion trying to get everything done I noticed it, and my world moved in slow motion as I watched strangers helping me, helping others. There were more kind gestures than I could count and I find it remarkable that I never noticed it quite like this. Here are some of the things I saw: People holding doors open for others and people waiting patiently for their turn. People smiling, people willing to chat and share a laugh with a complete stranger as they wait in line. People letting each other into traffic lanes, people giving a kind wave of thanks to others in their cars, a stranger picking up something that someone dropped and handing it back, a stranger letting a lobby full of people know that their uber had arrived, people waving for no reason, people sharing helpful information with strangers around them, a stranger asking another about themselves. All of it without expectation of a return gesture or compensation, they just did it as humans. When you do see it, you realize that the few bad experiences we have with strangers are really outnumbered by the hundreds of kind acts. Today, I feel grateful for the kindness of strangers. 1 Reply Share Aine2 days agoAineThis is one reason I love to sit in the truck and watch people as my husband shops in Aldi. Their cart return quarter thing prompts people to offer their cart, and thus their quarter, to a stranger as they are leaving and the other person is going in. It is a ray of sunshine in such a small way, but heartwarming to see! 0 Reply Share Anna6 days agoAnnaDear Bkc, since I practice gratefulness I have noticed the same things, for instance the smiles of strangers people, the light in their eyes if my greetings are followed by a smile. People are mostly bad if we want to see that in them, trying to make us sure that everything goes wrong and we are the only wise man/woman that can judge. If we let this attitude grow inside us, we can easily become the victims, and as a logic consequence, the persecutors of other people. Gratefulness, awareness and true humility bring us freedom. 1 Reply Share Kevin1 week agoKevinThis images is for Aine, who will know why it's here!

I could try to look it up but I thought you might just have it handy. I would love to hear it! Many blessings to you Pilgrim. Mary 0 Reply Share Pilgrim1 week agoPilgrimMary – here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3KUymM8TEo&spfreload=10. The music is called The Deer's Cry, by Shaun Davey, sung by Rita Connelly, on an album called The Pilgrim. I have this on my desktop, and have also listened to it daily on retreat. 0 Reply Share Mary1 week agoMaryGargi, I don't know about downloading the guided relaxations from Self-compassion.org. website onto your IPad. I just play them from the website. I can check with my husband. He might know. Or maybe some techie person on this website can answer your question. Have you listened to the self compassion/loving kindness one. I love that one. All my best, Mary 0 Reply Share Diane1 week agoDianeGood morning lovely people 🙂 My daughter has arrived safe and sound from Spain. And she quickly co-opted my computer…so I haven't been here since she returned last week! I spent the morning catching up with all of you…reading your posts on my phone. I am planning on responding to each of the posts individually when Cassie goes out to run some errands later…but I just wanted to take a few minutes to reconnect. This morning I am grateful for the sunshine and the blue sky. I am grateful that I have been sleeping better lately (probably because my young daughter is not across the Atlantic anymore but home with us!) I am grateful for Kevin's Father's Day blog….it touched my heart. I am grateful that Ursula has returned safe and sound from her pilgrimage. I am grateful to see we have some new members of our gratefulness community. I am grateful for all the love and wisdom that was waiting for me here this morning. I am grateful that I have this sacred space to come to when I need to be reminded that there is so much grace, love, compassion and hope for me on my journey and that I am not alone. More later dear friends….in the meantime, have a blessed day. 3 Reply Share Mary1 week agoMaryEnjoy your daughter, Diane! How wonderful to have her with you!

maybe not
I went from an 18" by 8.5" rim with 325/65/18's (35/13.50/18's) with slight rub on the inside fender well, to an 18x10" rim with the same tire and it rubbed bad when turned all the way. I ended up lifting the truck 6" after that as the lugs of my tires were rubbing on the 1/4 panel bad. I was afraid that if the suspension compressed I might rip my 1/4 panel off. Oh, I had a 2.5" leveling kit before the lift. My buddy has the same set up that I had but he is on stock 18" rims with Toyo MT's 35/12.50/18 and 2.5"level kit and he is ok. I think the wider rim might give you problems, plus you want 20"s.

Dear Bill Maher,Hey there, Billy. I'm pretty sure I can call you that now, since you have taken a personal interest in saving my life. Recently, you made the statement that Muslim lands will not get democracy without a "sexual revolution." Muslim men, in your opinion, are sexist demons, which are an extension of states that crush the rights of women.Let's be clear: a lot of screwed up things happen "over there," and some of those things are "far worse" than "here." You're right about that. Bu … [Read more...]

Maher's Muddled Muslim Dior Mockery
February 17, 2010 by
Based on his über-liberal political views, I assume Bill Maher has an open mind, and therefore understands that fashion transcends cultures. But for the sake of being a douche, he pretends like he doesn't in his parody of niqabi women in a skit called "Muslim Dior," part of his But I'm not Wrong comedy show. He also ran the skit on his television show, Real Time:I think it's hard to argue with this statement: All women wear clothes and many women like fashion. Muslim women are no different. … [Read more...]

Wikipedia Replaces 'Like' With The Love Button
The online encyclopedia gives its users a way to send each other positive reinforcement.
Wikipedia have created their own answer to the Facebook 'Like' and Google's +1 buttons with some messages of appreciation in the form of a 'Love' button.
The WikiLove extension allows contributors to tip their hat to good work on the site through virtual awards, gifts and invitations – right to a user's talk page. An initiative which the site hopes will boost engagement from its contributors through positive reinforcement, making it 'easy and fun to express appreciation for other users.'
In a media release Wikipedia states:
We all like to feel valued. According to the 2011 survey of Wikipedia editors (see top-line data), among 17 variables, 'being looked down on by more experienced editors' is the most likely to cause people to say they will edit less frequently (69% agreement), while 'having others compliment you on your edits/articles' is the most likely to cause people to say they will edit more frequently (78% agreement).
On the other hand, editing Wikipedia has tended to become harder over time, and the likelihood that new users will receive correction/criticism has increased. This is reflected by various efforts to code and analyze the experience of new users, such as the recent Newbie teaching strategy research sprint undertaken within the scope of our Summer of Research.
WikiLove is scheduled to roll out to English Wikipedia users today.

Something I never noticed, however, is the role that sight plays in Jesus' own experience—how and what Jesus saw. Paul Johnson draws attention to Christ's sight in his book, Jesus: A Biography from a Believer, noting that the evangelists repeatedly remark on how observant Jesus was:
It is notable how many times he is described as "looking," "looking upon," "looking round," "looking up" (the last is mentioned three times). His habit of penetrating observation punctuates the narrative: "[H]e looked round" before speaking. "And he lifted up his eyes upon his disciples and said . . ." "And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter." "[H]e had looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts."
Johnson continues:
He was a man greatly interested in detail. He missed nothing. He had a penetrating gaze which eyewitnesses noticed and remembered. His all-seeing eyes were, almost certainly, the first thing that struck people about him.
And his observation was keen to suffering people. Johnson tells the story of Christ teaching at a synagogue and seeing a woman bowed by nearly two decades of infirmity (Luke 13). "And when Jesus saw her, he called to her to him, and said unto her, Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity," Johnson quotes from the King James, before adding, "Here was Jesus the perceptive: noticing a dreadful case of debility in a crowded congregation and acting swiftly."
What a comforting thought. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If we're lost in the crowded congregation, Jesus sees. If we're troubled, bent with pain and burdened, Jesus sees.

Hey thanks for the reply.
Oddly enough we can't duplicate the issue on our end, but when we try the import on our customers server it completely fails importing everything, which is strange.
Hi guys,
We point our customers to the stock Wordpress importer to import XML content: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/
We're having an issue with WP 3.5.1 where everything fails to import with a number of our customers. I see there is many people having the same problem: http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-importer
Anyone else running into this issue? Has anyone found any solutions?
Happy New Year to authors, reviewers, Envato staff, and of course our buyers!
December has been a pretty good month so far. Steady, but definitely dropped the last few days!
Hmm good question, is there a stock photo marketplace for this stuff?
edit: I just typed in a Marvel character's name and 'stock photos' after it and tons of sites came up in Google.
Hey there everyone,
New to TF, trying to get our new theme approved. We're on round 3 or 4 of soft rejections and I think we're really close to being approved, we literally have to edit a single character in our code.
Unfortunately, we accidentally overwrote some important files locally and need to access the uploaded files for the latest version. Is there any way to access the uploaded files?? I see them in the dropdown on the edit page, I tried FTP and they're not there. Can an admin/mod help us at all e-mail us a link? I literally have to edit one line in the functions.php file but I have some dated files and all the latest ones are in the ZIPs we uploaded!!
I can't go to /portfolio because the files are soft-rejected at the moment
Thank you!

Working for a Minneapolis where each of us has the freedom and opportunity to reach our individual potentials while caring for one another, improving our environment and promoting social well-being. Focused not only on our immediate needs, but also on the future we want for ourselves, our children and for generations to come.
Social and Economic Justice Ecological Wisdom Grassroots Democracy
Peace and Nonviolence Community-Based Economics Respect for Diversity
For the latest news from Cam Gordon, see the Second Ward e-Update.
The Second Ward occupies the Eastern-Central part of Minneapolis and straddles the East and West banks of the iconic Mississippi River gorge. It includes a diverse mix of residential, institutional, industrial and commercial land uses with some of the highest density housing outside of downtown, flourishing low density residential neighborhoods, thriving and underutilized industrial areas and major commercial corridors like University Ave and East Lake Street. It is also home to several significant institutions including the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota, Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview. For more information about the people and places of Ward 2, see our Ward 2 Planning Department Profile and our Regulatory Services 2016 Report.
Current Projects
Participatory Budgeting
Working with Council Member Glidden and building on research our offices had been doing as well as a recommendation from our Capital Long-range Improvement Committee (CLIC) the Council voted in December to direct staff from the City Coordinator and City Clerk's offices to develop a plan for a participatory budgeting program in Minneapolis. They will use input from community stakeholders and City advisory committees such as CLIC, the Neighborhood and Community Engagement Commission, and cultural and community organizations, as well as neighborhood organizations to draft a plan (by June 2017) for a participatory budgeting program. I am very excited about this initiative and expect the plan to include best practices form other cities' existing participatory budgeting process and those cities' metrics for evaluation of success of the program, recommendations for the participatory budgeting process including number of participants, methodologies of voting, and organizing structure, strategies for outreach to the City's 70 neighborhood organizations, cultural and community organizations, and under-represented groups, including youth, recommended ranges of dollar amounts and components of the budget, preferably one-time capital or operating expenditures that could be delegated to a participatory budget process, sample timelines, potential public, non-profit, and private partners, and an outline of City administrative dollars and potential funding sources for an annual participatory budgeting process.
Better Banking Options
In response to growing questions and concerns about who the City contracts with for financial services, Council Member Cano and I moved, and the Council approved, to have Finance staff explore alternatives that would allow us to stop doing business with financial institutions that invest in the fossil fuel industry and projects such as the Dakota Access Pipeline and the possibility of establishing a municipal bank or participating in a publicly-owned banking operation (like a credit union). Staff has been instructed to report recommendations to the Ways and Means Committee by July. I am currently researching this. If you would like to learn more about public banking options for cities, you might want to read this.
Zero Waste
Some state legislators are trying to take away our ability to regulate single use carry out bags. Despite my testimony in opposition, bills are moving forward (one in the House, HF1504, and one in the Senate, SF 1196) out of committee that would prohibit local governments from banning or taxing paper or plastic bags. If signed into law, this would completely negate all the work we did, in the face of fierce industry lobbying, to pass our popular Bring Your Own Bag ordinance that is set to go into effect on June 1 this year. If you support this ordinance, or just the principal of allowing local jurisdictions to have the authority to regulate and manage such things, please let your legislators and governor know. The House committee sent the bill forward and the Senate committee re-referred it to the Environment and Natural Resources Finance committee I am grateful that there is coalition of organizations forming (including so far: Eureka Recycling, Linden Hills Power & Light, Sierra Club – North Star Chapter, Minnesota Environmental Partnership, Nothing Left to Waste, Alliance for Sustainability, and ISAIAH) opposing this legislation. In a letter the coalition sent out late last week they offered several action steps including:
1) Call the Governor saying you're opposed to this legislation: (651) 201-3400,
2) Call your representatives to let them know you oppose these bills.

Today's Devotional
Judgment and ObedienceAre you more concerned with pleasing people than God?
Top Music Videos
Lord, Is It I? (Video Jam)
Where are the great miracles and movement of God today? God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God shows no partiality. In any nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness will be accepted by Him. Why do we not see great revival? The modern Church has lost its testimony. Secular humanism has polluted the world and the Church. The philosophy of man has put limits upon the Church. Religion has become an exterior shell. The lives of many in the Church are no longer consecrated to Christ. How can we and the culture around us change? We must first examine our own hearts. Unless the Church has Truth in its members it cannot bring Truth beyond its four walls. Truth must be in us or the Church cannot overcome the world! The Church of today is sinking in the sin of this world! The majority of the Church is outside of the Truth and living in disobedience. You cannot be excited about the world and be bored by Church! We must be pure before God! We must pray create in me a pure heart. Before there is revival there must be judgment against sin in our own hearts. Consecration shows God's greatness. Sin has to go. Are we ready? True consecration brings boldness and spiritual triumph to the body of Christ. In order for the Church to rise above the culture around us it must be consecrated. We must ask, Lord is it I? Before revival there must be judgment against sin in our own hearts!

Over the last two decades, there has a substantial body of research concerned with a more integrated use of IT in the design process in the construction industry and broader engineering sector. The main focus of this research has been on achieving integration via product data sharing and exchange. This paper reviews the main research efforts in product data sharing and exchange and highlights certain areas where more systematic research is required. In particular, it considers the distribution of the design data in an integrated environment as a basic requirement, reflecting the fragmented nature and adversarial behaviour that characterises the construction industry, and identifies the need for more systematic research in the development of distributed product data sharing design environments. The role of XML and Web Services in the development of such environments is highlighted.

When studying Democrats, I like to keep an eye on Europe, because it seems they always put Europe on some sort of pedestal to model.
So it's interesting to see the UK publish a list of people banned from entering the country -- to include radio show host Michael Savage. What's interesting is that he's not being banned for violating any law or committing any act of violence. He's banned because his political views. The UK did the same thing with Dutch politican Geert Wilders recently -- despite an invitation by a member of Parliament, they turned him away because he criticized Islam. Apparently free speech is no longer one of the values the Brits live by.
Orwell referred to this as "thought crime." How interesting that the nation that produced the Magna Carta over 700 years ago is now saying that ideas are a theat to society.
We used to criticize Iron Curtain nations for this stuff.
What's really interesting is to see how many Americans are applauding this in the blog at the San Francisco Gate. Note that it's LIBERALS spewing the hate and calling for limits on speech:

The shoulder is the most flexible part of the body. The main joint in the shoulder is called the glenohumeral joint. This is where the arm bone (humerus) rests in a shallow socket called the glenoid. The bones in the shoulder are connected by ligaments, muscles, and other strong tissues. When the shoulder is healthy, you can move your arm in almost any direction (a full range of motion).

As much as I like the reveling nature of that suit, the super high cut actually doesn't complement well the shape of her lower body, in the rear view...

Haha that's the worst butt ever.
I think it looks bad because of the shape of the bottom part of the swim gear. I always thought she has a good ass.
But, those pics can show some nip slip there...where are those pervy photographers???
I don't think Genie's suit was meant to be floss but she made it that way anyway. Not that flattering on her.
Is Genie getting fashion tips from Borat? It's revealing, it's fun, but maybe not the most flattering...
Genie Boratchard
very nice.
Genie has some redness or rash over the bottom in the backend. She should get that treated!
I do not like Bouchard's figure. For me her body is to "V" shape with no curves at all. It the opposite of a figure "8" figure.
Bouchard is naturally brown hair and without makeup in these photos. I always try to see what a potential girlfriend looks like without makeup before going further in the relationship. Many times, it extremely hard to see because she wants to guard her true looks from a romantic interest. 9 times out of 10, I am extremely disappointed at her looks without makeup on, usually after I been with her for 6 months that she gets lazy and presents the true self. Ugh!
Back on grass....
Pizza or Pasta
Likely just from continuously having to pull the suit up where it's not designed to be.
Maybe, but still think it from something else because you see how the right side has grown more the the left side. It is about double the surface area. It could be some other cause to but looks bad! What could generate a redness like that if not a rash?
You know who....
Yeah, where is it coming from?
Not all of the Genie pictures are visible here, but clicking on them doesn't show them, just an endless loading circle on the link.
post again
looks like my butt
Looks like someone gave Genie a 'wedgie' while wearing an adult diaper. Ugh.
Reminds me of that Aus'(?) Open maternity dress a few years ago. Double ugh
Headphones Ivey.....
My eyes! My eyes! (Genie pics above) Please get this on to the next page.
Jules can actually play on grass,who knew?
Julia has one of the best legs of the WTA ladies among other features! LOL!
The left or the right?
Poor fashion choice.
Marta & Ula
not looking to be too "rash" to judge, but the Genie wedgie suit was not a good look

Cops: Naked, Bloody Man Gnawed On Woman
Wow. Thank you Lord, Mom, Dad, Brothers, and my Sister for helping develop my brain in such a fashion that I have no desire to partake in illegal drugs.
Reads like another "bath salts" attack.
Wise remarks aside, my best friend, an armed, trained police officer was murdered with his own weapon after rolling up on a drug-crazed naked man. OC spray had absolutely no effect on the guy, and he beat the officer mercilessly before disarming and executing him.
And my wife keeps telling me I am overreacting!
Wonder if the CDC will make another announcement
I never want to run into a drug crazed person. It seems that the new drugs they use today are even more powerful. Scary...
This is what we are going to see more of in the future sorry to say and it has all the apperance of drug use.
The use, sale and manufacture of powerfully addictive illegal drugs is what will bring much of society down and it seems more and more people are on a path of self-destruction with drugs and nothing can stop it.
They wonder why so many open carry in Ohio lol. When seconds count, a shirt is in the way lol
mano3, you and barstoolguru ought to get a "room." Between the two of you, it's almost as complete as the front three pages of the local newspaper.
I know that this is going to get some hell-yeah's from some and hell-no from others, but I believe that there are more good reasons than bad for decriminalizing, taxing, and regulating marijuana. I have never heard of anyone (who wasn't already of the murderous persuasion or psychotic) getting stoned on plain old pot and going on a psychedelic murder rampage like those on synthetic don't-know-what-you're-getting marijuana.
