Arriving at Magic Kingdom
If you drive, the Magic Kingdom Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot opens about 2 hours before the park's official opening. After paying a fee, you're directed to a parking space, then transported by tram to the TTC, where you catch either a monorail or a ferry to the park's entrance.
If you bring a stroller, a Ridgewood, New Jersey, family recommends the ferry (which starts operating 30–60 minutes before park opening):
The ferry from the TTC to the Magic Kingdom dock is a must if you're using a stroller. You can drive the stroller right onto the ferry and then just head to the back of the ferry to be the first ones off when it docks.
If you're staying at the Contemporary, Bay Lake Tower, Polynesian Village, or Grand Floridian Resort, you can commute to the Magic Kingdom by monorail (although guests at Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower can walk to the park more quickly than taking the monorail). If you're staying at Wilderness Lodge & Villas or Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, you can take a boat or bus. Guests at other Walt Disney World resorts can reach the park by bus. All Disney lodging guests, regardless of conveyance, are deposited at the park's entrance, bypassing the TTC.
Getting Oriented
Stroller, wheelchair, and ECV/ESV rentals are in the train station; lockers are on the right, just inside the entrance. On your left as you enter Main Street, U.S.A., is City Hall, the center for information, lost and found, guided tours, and entertainment schedules.
The guide map found there lists all attractions, shops, and eating places; provides information about first aid, baby care, and assistance for the disabled; and gives tips for good photos. It lists times for the day's special events, live entertainment, Disney-character parades, and concerts, and it also tells when and where to find Disney characters.
The guide map is supplemented by a daily entertainment schedule, the Times Guide. In addition to listing performance times, the Times Guide provides info on Disney-character appearances and what Disney calls Special Hours, or operating hours for attractions and restaurants that open late or close early.
Unofficial Tip
Because Cinderella Castle is large, designate a very specific meeting spot, like the entrance to Cinderella's Royal Table restaurant at the rear of the castle.
Main Street ends at a central hub from which branch the entrances to five other sections of the Magic Kingdom: Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.
Cinderella Castle, at the entrance to Fantasyland, is the Magic Kingdom's visual center. If you start in Adventureland and go clockwise around the Magic Kingdom, the castle spires will always be roughly on your right; if you start in Tomorrowland and go counterclockwise through the park, the spires will always be roughly on your left. The castle is an excellent meeting place if your group decides to split up or gets separated accidentally.
Starting Your Day In Magic Kingdom
Everyone soon finds his or her favorite and not-so-favorite attractions in the Magic Kingdom. Our personal experience and research indicate that each visitor differs on which attraction is most enjoyable. Don't dismiss a ride or show until after you have tried it (the exception to this is Stitch's Great Escape, which is lowest rated attraction by our readers in all of Walt Disney World.
Take advantage of what Disney does best: the fantasy adventures of Splash Mountain and The Haunted Mansion and the various audio-animatronic (talking robots) attractions, including The Hall of Presidents and Pirates of the Caribbean. Don't burn daylight browsing the shops unless you plan to spend a minimum of two and a half days at the Magic Kingdom , and even then wait until midday or later. Minimize the time you spend on midway-type rides; you probably have something similar near your hometown. (Don't, however, mistake Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad as amusement park rides. They may be roller coasters, but they're pure Disney genius.)
Eat a good breakfast early, and avoid lines at eateries by snacking during the day on food from vendors, of better yet, bring your own snacks. Except for the Be Our Guest restaurant, fare at most Magic Kingdom eateries is on a par with Subway or McDonald's.

Print Ariat International has been providing boots since 1993. Co-founders Beth Cross and Pam Parker both realized in 1990, that many traditional English and Western riding boots were not suitable for equestrian riding. With their expertise and with a footwear background, they realized there was a need for improved riding boots for men, women and kids. Using their knowledge in athletic footwear, they began making performance enhancing changes to their riding boots, giving these athletes an edge. Ariat Boots quickly became known as the most innovative and performance riding boots. They provide the same technology in men's riding boots, women's riding boots and kids riding boots. They totally redesigned the traditional outsole, arch support and last shape and took Ariat Boots to the next level in riding boot technology. While building the technology into these western riding boots, Ariat had hundreds of top riders help design and develop their final product. Today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear as well as offering the most stylish western boots on the market. Ariat Boots offers a wide range of products from English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual boots. Their forward thinking and performance lines outfit today's most avid equestrian riders and enthusiasts. If you are the professional rider who absolutely demands performance boots or the novice who likes to ride around from time to time, Ariat definitely has the boots for every man, woman or child. We have all of the top styles including the Fatbaby boots, Heritage Western, the Dixie and the QuickDraw. These styles are all must have for men's western boots, women's western boots or kids western boots. The casual look and performance driven Ariat Boots will provide you with long comfy rides in the country or a relaxing day in the sun. Get yours today!

Looks like the Jonas Brothers are settling in well as sitcom stars!
The Disney Channel comedy starring Kevin, 21, and Joe, 20, and Nick, 16, titled JONAS, has been picked up for a second season, the network announced Monday. Production is slated to begin in Hollywood on the series, which is tentatively set for a mid-2010 debut.
Earlier this month, during the European leg of their Jonas Brothers World Tour, Kevin, Joe and Nick also began work on the second installment of their short-form reality show, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream. It will also premiere in early 2010, followed by Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, the sequel to the Disney Channel film the group starred in last summer.
Check out the day's top celeb news photos.
The new season of JONAS will follow the brothers as they pursue independent careers (Joe appears in a Hollywood film, Kevin shadows a famous director, and Nick goes to work on a new album).

Initial stages of the 9-11 Memorial with an I-beam from the World Trade Center will be unveiled during the annual Community Fair from 4pm-8pm, Tuesday Sept. 11 at the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office.
The 3,000-pound I-beam from Tower One will be the focus of the memorial being constructed, said Deputy Greg Dotson, who is coordinating the memorial drive.
"The memorial will remember those who have fallen on Sept. 11, 2001 due to planned acts of terrorists as well as the troops who have fallen since that day in defending freedom and trying to rid the world of terrorism," Dotson said. "The memorial will show support for the troops who are still at war and in harms' way."
Cost of the memorial is estimated at $30,000. Donations and the sale of bricks will fund the project. Pre-ordered bricks will be on display. Bricks will be on sale during the 9-11 fair.
Dotson believes the memorial will be a historical landmark in Rutherford County. The memorial should be completed by December.
The memorial ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. with the singing of the national anthem by the group, the Roy's, and Murfreesboro Fire Department serving as the honor guard. Firefighters will ring a bell in salute to the lives lost on 9-11. Rolling Thunder will present a POW/MIA flag.
Sheriff Robert F. Arnold will speak. Iraqi veteran David Judy, who delivered the I-beam from New York City, will be recognized.
Richie McDonald, former lead singer of the country band, Lonestar, will be the featured performer. The County Music Association named Lonestar the county music Group of the Year in 2001.
McDonald wrote, "I'm Already There" and sang it with Lonestar. The song was awarded Song of the Year and McDonald was the BMI Writer of the Year in 2002. Also, "Amazed" by Lonestar was the Single Song of the Year in 2001.

Community organizations will discuss their groups. AARP will conduct a silent auction featuring NASCAR's Jeff Gordon memorabilia and representatives of the Fisher House will collect donations to build a home for families while veterans are in the hospital.
Vendors of arts and crafts are still needed. Booth fees are $50 and must be reserved by Aug. 31.
Deputy Jim Noe said Americans need to remember the fallen heroes and show solidarity.
"We want to let our neighbors know we are still united under the cause of freedom," Noe said.

Mark E. Smith
Total Gig Length
Audience (Ocelot)
Set List
"Elsewhere, Mark E. Smith enters stage left to lead post-punk Manchester heroes The Fall through a rampantly-charged gnarling set. This band can be an absolute shambles, but in tonight's mayhem their seams remain intact, for which credit should be partly awarded to keyboardist and calmly collected band adjudicator Elena Poulou. Motorik drums and plenty of material from recent album 'Ersatz GB' - recorded during a drug-tinged excursion to Germany - make for a commanding and beastly show of theatrics, but earlier singles 'Bury' and 'Theme From Sparta FC' are highlights. Twenty-nine albums and many ousted band members later, The Fall's style is an ever-unpredictable entity, but with Smith's abstract chunterings still delightfully intact they, like Mangum, remain enduring." www.clashmusic.com

Rapala Jointed, J13 Series

Broken back design and classic minnow profile
Baitfish-in-distress behavior commands attention
Can be fished from top to bottom
Hand-tuned and tank-tested
Runs from top water to 14' deep
With its broken back design, classic minnow profile, and unique baitfish-in-distress behavior, the Rapala Jointed gets the undivided attention of otherwise uninterested gamefish. Can be fished top to bottom. It's the perfect choice after a cold front, when fish are traditionally finicky and in a negative feeding mood. Hand-tuned and tank-tested. Runs from top water to 14' deep.

AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley spoke of his pride in his players after their heartbreaking exit from the FA Cup.
Jack Midson's excellent header was not enough as MK stole a place in the third round with a last-gasp freak goal and a 2-1 win.
Ardley said: "I have nothing but pride. We set out a game plan and the players stuck to it – we were worried they might revert to type but they didn't.
"Everything single player carried their instructions out to a man. We were inches away from going 2-1 up, and then we're hit by a lucky goal."
He added: "The fans were excellent and when Jack scored I think we all enjoyed the moment, if you cannot enjoy those moments, then you might as well stop playing.
"We wanted to ask MK the question – can you break us down? As far as the game plan went it went well, we needed a bit of luck, but we didn't get.
"Today was a celebration of how far this club has come."

Here's a recording in a mystery language.
Can you guess the language and where it's spoken?
Here's a recording in a mystery language.
Can you guess the language and where it's spoken?
Well, I'm not normally very good at these weekly language quizzes but it definitely sounded Slavic and even I could hear something like 'katolicki' and 'polski' – Polish maybe or some dialect?
My first impression is that it's Belorussian: he uses мова (rather than some variation on язык, język, језик) for 'language' – and it doesn't seem to be Ukrainian (which also uses мова).
Slavic, to be sure, and reminiscent of Polish – Kashubian or Sorbian?
@fiosachd, I heard język at least twice.
@ Lau: you're right, he does, it's just that the use of мова is what I found distinctive.
I heard the speaker say "po polsku," which would mean "in Polish." I would guess West Slavic – possibly Lechitic – meaning Polish, Kashubian, or Silesian.
I might have heard nasal vowels (?), but I do not know if they are a part of each language's phonology or Polish's only.
I was going to not comment, but since so many have already guessed, it's Polish (of the standard, formal, speech-giving kind). Mowa can be used in Polish too, technically it means 'speech' (non-count) and is often used as a slightly flowerly word for spoken language.
Basically he's talkig about a school and how all the children are catholics and speak Polish and he mentions that in the past Polish was more common than German in said school. In 1910 the balance was 99-1 and by 1912 they were all Polish speaking.
Oh, I just noticed, he uses the old fashioned 'dark' l for ł at the beginning 'miejscowa szkoła' associated with Polish east of the current borders now. But all the rest seem to have the normal modern pronunciation like w in English.
I would say Polish as well. I didn't know it sounds exactly like that, but I recognized it as a Slavic language and heard the "polski" words there.
I was pretty sure it was Polish as it's the language I hear (other than English and Welsh, obviously) the most frequently and am passively picking up. In fact, saying that, I probably hear Polish *more* than I hear Welsh (I live just over the border in England) – some of my neighbours are Polish as too are my work colleagues and the majority of people I deal with at work are Slavic.
It seems to be normal Polish, here is the attempted transcription (can contain bad orthography, I am not a Pole).
Miejscowa szkola jest szkolą katolicką i w mowie polską. Wszestke dzieci są katolicke i po polsku mówiące. Kronykarzy prowadzili przes szereg łat specjalną statystykę. Z tej statystyky wynikało, że językem polskim posługiwało (?) się w roku tysiąc dziewięcset dziesiąty(m) dziewięćdziesiąt dziewięć dzieci mówiących językem niemieckim jeden (?) w roku tysiąc dziewięcset dwanaście językem polskim posługiwało się sto dwoje dzieci, z językem niemieckim żadno dziecko.
No doubt Polish.
Pretty good, but with corrrections:
"Miejscowa szkoła jest szkołą katolicką i w mowie polską. Wszystkie dzieci są katolickie i po polsku mówiące. Kronikarzy prowadzili przez szereg lat specjalną statystykę. I z tej statystyki wynikało, że językiem polskim posługiwało się w roku tysiąc dziewięcset dziesiąty dziewięćdziesiąt dziewięć, dzieci mówiących językem niemieckim jeden, w roku tysiąc dziewięcset dwanaściem językiem polskim posługiwało się sto dwoje dzieci, z językem niemieckim żadno dziecko."
quick and dirty translation:
"The local school is a catholic school and in speech Polish. All the children are catholic and speaking Polish. Chroniclers conducted over many years special statistics and from these statistics, it turns out that Polish was used in 1910 by 99 children and German by one. In 1912, 102 children spoke Polish and no child spoke German."
There are a couple of grmmar irregularities here as well, among other things the children should be katolikami (a noun) instead katolickie (an adjective), also it should be dziesiątym and not dziesiąty, jedno (dziecko) and not jeden and dwunastym and not dwanaściem, and it should be żadne dziecko not żadno. I suspect the speaker does not live Poland, possibly to the east, though the content suggests somewhere closer to German speaking areas.
I'm going to go with the crowd and say Polish–plus, he says "Polski" several times 😀 😀 😀
I'm going to go against the crowd and say Vietnamese! ;-)))
Seriously, I recognized Polish when I heard it because it's so similar to Russian and because the speaker articulated 'Polski' so well.
Abedadło can also mean 'the ABC's of'. So it's more like "the ABC's of (basic information about) Kashubia(n)".
Phonologically, except for that one ł, he sounds pretty standard. He's translating from a German text at one point so that explains a little weirdness. Not sure where the other weird things come from (I might be mishearing a thing or two but not all of it)
The school he's talking about is in Studzienice, a little far south for Kashubian I would think.
Yup. It's a particularly "prescriptive" pronounciation.
Oh, and by the way, better not call Polish "język" in front of Polish speakers – it just means "language", and would be considered silly at best. The same is true for quite a number of usages of the native word for "language" to refer to the language itself, like "bahasa" for Indonesian. It makes you sound savvy, but doesn't make a lot of sense.

Flowers, music and sustainability
I discovered Flower Valley Conservation Trust by accident. I'd paid a visit to Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, between Hermanus and Gansbaai. As a kind of afterthought on leaving, owner Michael Lutzeyer mentioned Flower Valley. It wasn't far, he said. Perhaps I could just pop in if I was interested?
So I did, and stumbled into one of the happiest working conditions I'd ever come across. In a large airy shed, men and women were singing as they took the stunning flowers of the surrounding fynbos and turned them into colourful bouquets. The wild flowers are harvested under strictly sustainable conditions, approved by CapeNature.
By chance I was just in time for the children's spring concert. To Vivaldi's music, the little sprites ran about, portraying the four seasons. They lived in nature, and their school regularly took them on outings to build up their understanding of their environment - the magnificent Cape Floral Kingdom.
It was a serendipitous first encounter. Since then, Flower Valley Conservation Trust bouquets (and fynbos flowers last ever so long!) have become fixtures in the flower section of local retailer Pick 'n' Pay. Overseas they are sold through Marks and Spencer.
The farm now happily hosts visitors, who are allowed to ramble unguided along beautiful fragrant paths.
And if you happen to be there in December, make sure you attend their lovely music festival (featuring local talent) and take a guided tractor trip into the mountains.

The winter holiday season is a joyous time in Georgia, but new data show that it's also a busy time for insurance claims—especially due to theft.
A new Allstate insurance report reveals that holiday theft claims in Georgia are 14 percent higher than the national average, and that Georgians are more than 50 percent more likely to suffer a theft claim during the holidays than at any other time of the year.
"Breaking out of our routines and making the most of our time with family and friends is what the holidays are all about," says David Askew, an Allstate agency owner in Columbus. But he also cautions that it's easy to get caught up in the festivities. "Think through potential safety hazards in the home this holiday season," he advises.
Consider these suggestions from the Atlanta Better Business Bureau on how to avoid being a target of thieves this year:
Americans are also at greater risk for holiday-season home fires—the national risk of house fires increases by 15 percent this time of year, according to insurance claims data.
In fact, each year more than 400 fires in homes across the U.S. involve Christmas trees, according to the Marietta Fire Department (MFD). The MFD says that you can reduce the chance of a Christmas tree-related fire by placing your tree away from sources of heat, using only non-combustible decorations (meaning no real candles) and carefully inspecting Christmas lights to help avoid the risk of an electrical fire caused by damaged bulbs or wiring. This last tip applies to outdoor lighting, too.
Also, decorate with children in mind, recommends Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), by making sure that children do not have access to dangerously-small decorations; open flames, exposed electrical wire or heat sources (check out more fire safety tips). Also, CHOA adds to not burn wrapping paper or Christmas tree branches in the home fireplace.
Finally, one other notable way to protect your family and household is by exercising caution when cooking with an open flame. The City of Atlanta Fire Code says that Atlantans can only cook with an open flame at a distance of 10 feet or more from parts of buildings like balconies and garages that could catch on fire and cause the home to be destroyed. This is especially good advice for those deep frying a turkey, which can quickly create a hazardous situation as shown by the professionals at the Cobb County, Ga., fire department.
The holidays are supposed to be a fun, relaxing time spent among family and friends, so consider these tips and speak with your loved ones about how you can help prevent trouble from finding you or your home this season. Whether it's from theft or a fire, a little prevention could keep your holidays merry and bright.

Macomb County
MAC holds first-ever football media day
By Jason Carmel Davis
Posted August 7, 2014
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Madison Heights Lamphere Athletic Director Russ McKenzie is at the center of the establishment of the first-ever Macomb Area Conference football media day, which took place Aug. 5 at Clinton Township Chippewa Valley.
McKenzie serves as the AD in charge of football in the MAC. The event follows media days held by the Kensington Lakes Activities Association and serves as a way for coaches from each of the 36 MAC teams to speak about their teams going into the 2014 season, which begins Aug. 28. Each team was represented at the event.
McKenzie, the longtime wrestling coach at Lamphere, didn't speak much during the event but used his time to tout the Macomb league. The media day event was open to the public.
"I'm very proud to be in charge of this group of people," McKenzie said. "We have great coaching staffs and great groups of kids in our conference. MAC football, in my humble opinion, is the best in the state, top to bottom.
"We do a great job, and this is a great thing to do to have our coaches and kids get some added (publicity)."
The happening is the brainchild of McKenzie and Clawson High football coach Jim Sparks. McKenzie said he and Sparks met to discuss establishing a MAC media day this past spring. The Lamphere AD said he ran with the idea.
"I'm really excited with the turn out," McKenzie said. "We'll tweak some things as we go along, but this is great."
"The turn out is bigger than I imagined," Sparks said.
Port Huron Northern coach Patrick Connell called the media day event a good idea.
"It's great to see so many people here," Connell said. "This is great for our conference."
Getting started
Football practices across the state began Aug. 11.
The Michigan High School Athletic Association this year altered rules related to the start of football practice with player safety in mind. Players are not permitted to practice in full pads until the fifth day of practice, the provision states. Players are permitted to wear helmets the first two days of practice, and only shoulder pads can be added the third and fourth days of practice.

"What is the profile of the average poetry book buyer?"
A coworker asked me that question and I honestly didn't know the answer. Who is the typical poetry book buyer? We can all guess, but what are the demographics? Male vs female? Young vs old? Poet vs nonpoet? Large booksellers don't share this information, so I'm hoping to get something more than opinion. Maybe a few of our indie publishers/booksellers can shed some light. What do we really know about our readership?
7 comments:
- Catherine said...
More women than men at several poetry launches I have been to recently. But quite a few men anyway. Way more university educated people than average. As for age, at the 26 year old poet's book launch there were mostly young people, and at the 60 year old poet's book launch the average age was a good deal older (who'd have thought it?)!
Due to the small size of our population, I think the attendees at the book launch are probably a large enough fraction of the total buyers to be fairly representative
- January said...
I think it's all relative. No matter where we are, the sample will be small because there just aren't enough poetry readers nationally (or globally) to get accurate numbers.
I don't know if, in the U.S., women attend more readings. It depends on the poet who's reading and the type of reading. I think more men try performance poetry, but that's only a guess.
- Russell Ragsdale said...
This is a complicated statistical research problem. I would be very interested to know the answer to this question. I would also like to know if, how and why that profile might be different if the purchaser usually buys from an indie?
Also (as per Catherine's comment) the level of education has always been a factor in poetry that appears in print. How far below the university degree level does the poetry market extend and has that group of consumers (below a university degree) been growing smaller in the last few decades? If so, of course the question is why are fewer of them reading poetry now?
There are lots of things within this question that many of us need to know more about! Thanks for asking about it.
- January said...
I really feel that if the poetry community had better market research, poets and publisher could market their books with more confidence and certainty.
I think I'm going to expand this into another blog post.
- Joseph Hutchison said...
The NEA provides some information on poetry here—http://arts.endow.gov/research/ReadingonRise.pdf—but the focus is mainly on literary reading in general. The stats are disturbing, though: from 2002 to 2008 poetry reading has declined 3.8% "due in part to a steep decline in the number of women who read poetry." That surprises me....
- January said...
Thanks. I just printed the report; I'll read it later today.
- jim said...
A couple of complications here, too, in how many books of poetry get boosts in sales by university poets ordering them for their classes--in fact, this is how I generally support my peer poets, both established and emerging (yes, Jan, I have your book on cue for the Spring!).
Now, most of my undergraduate students will sell those books back at the end of the year, but I also know that some become poetry book buyers/readers, as they'll email me with their suggestions or newest finds.
What's intriguing is that I do get marketing materials from a handful of small presses about their newest releases--Copper Canyon does an especially good job. I think this aspect of the poetry book market is something that more small publishers could easily exploit. I imagine most presses rely on the poets to make these overtures or take advantage of their connections, but the presses that can afford to undertake this way of advertising their books surely get some immediate, impactful sales, with 20-50 books with one good hook.

Encouraging Social Apartment Living
New York apartment buildings are holding social events for residents to get to know their neighbors.
For many New Yorkers, it's typical that they don't know their neighbors, let alone talk to them. However, the New York Times reported that some buildings are changing that with organized social events, parties and even architecture which encourages interaction.
The Times writes:
How buildings become social is something of a mystery. To be sure, there are buildings that are marketed as having a slate of organized social events and ample opportunities to meet people. The Gotham Organization offers wine tastings and sushi-and-sake parties at two of its luxury Midtown rentals, the Atlas New York and the Nicole. This summer at the Atlas, it sponsored a concert series with an open bar. All residents of Gotham buildings were invited.
…Both brokers and longtime apartment dwellers agree that fantastic common space can have a profound influence on the social temperature of a building. On a recent hot and sweaty Wednesday evening — the kind of summer night when most New Yorkers were eager to retreat inside their four (with any luck air-conditioned) walls — about 20 residents of 350 Bleecker Street gathered in the building's courtyard for a barbecue.

Dear Editor: Two weeks ago on my street, Wood Street in Covington, my neighbor and I had our McCain yard signs stolen. My neighbor purchased a new one and I replaced mine in defiance against the trespassers/thieves of a 4x4 sign.
That night his was stolen and mine was vandalized (since it was chained to a tree). Of course my Kathy Morgan sign went untouched. My mother-in-law had her McCain yard sign stolen on David Circle. The large 4x4 McCain sign posted on the Cook's property (Ga. highways 142 and 11) was stolen and has since been replaced. The McCain campaign posted six 4x4 signs with permission on private property one weekend about a month ago; by that Monday two were stolen, and one was vandalized.
After that weekend's incident, I notified the News asking them to run another article regarding how, in addition to breaking the law (trespassing, theft by taking, and vandalizing), that it was just immature for people to do this sort of thing.
Needless to say, I'm disappointed that the first mention in the paper is that an Obama sign was taken when the shoe has been on the other foot many more times and for much longer. I'd argue they're upset about wearing a new Nike, compared to the fungal Chuck Taylor's we've been dealing with.

In today's Acton Commentary, "The Logic of Economic Discrimination," I take up a small slice of the larger controversy and discussion surrounding religious liberty laws like the one passed recently in Indiana. My point, drawing out some of the implications of observations made by others, including Ryan Anderson and Shikha Dalmia, is that anti-discrimination boycotts depend on discrimination. Or as Dalmia puts it, "what is deeply ironic is that corporate America was able to wield its right not to do business (and boycott Indiana) by circumscribing the same right of Indiana businesses."
Now there are lots of other angles and significant points to explore surrounding this enormously complex and important debate. Many have criticized the hypocrisy of corporations like Apple for doing business in places like China and Saudi Arabia even while they grandstand against Indiana. Others are now pointing to the actions of many in Silicon Valley, which despite the proclamations of support for social justice, have actually created huge inequalities. Tech centers like Silicon Valley are great, it seems, unless you are a woman, have a family, or are a blue-collar worker.
Indiana politicians, under massive scrutiny, have since moved to "clarify" the RFRA law that was passed, a move that has mollified some but not others. From the beginning, these conversations about religious liberty and economic rights have, in my view, insufficiently included sensitivity to considerations like freedom of association. Hopefully the larger context and interactions of contracts and rights, not merely "religious liberty" narrowly defined, can help broaden and mature the conversation.
If we don't take into account problematic implications of compelling people to provide a particular service out of religious conviction, what is to prevent compelling all kinds of economic activity that right now is protected by custom if not by positive law? Why should an individual like Nick Offerman be allowed not to serve those he has promised to serve simply out of some moral conviction? Why shouldn't people who want to buy Chik-fil-A on Sundays be discriminated against by a store that doesn't want to be open on certain days?
I may not be a baker or a photographer, but hopefully we won't wait for our own particular interests to be threatened by government overreach before speaking up. Or as Robert Tracisnki has updated Trotsky for today: "You might not be interested in the culture wars, but the culture wars are interested in you."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," wrote Martin Luther King Jr. from a jail in Birmingham. We need to reason together to determine what constitutes injustice and invalid forms of discrimination, and that starts with understanding the fundamental logic of economic discrimination.
Get Your Hands Dirty: Essays on Christian Social Thought (and Action)
Addressing topics ranging from the family to work, politics, and the church, Jordan J. Ballor shows how the Christian faith calls us to get involved deeply and meaningfully in the messiness of the world. Drawing upon theologians and thinkers from across the great scope of the Christian tradition, including Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, Abraham Kuyper, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and engaging a variety of current figures and cultural phenomena, these essays connect the timeless insights of the Christian faith to the pressing challenges of contemporary life.

Wonderful Solo Experience: Queen Elizabeth Cruise Review by Oxfordcruiser49
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful Solo Experience
Destination: Middle East
Embarkation: Dubai
I booked this trip prior to taking a 28 day trans Pacific on the Celebrity Solstice so I anticipated a similar lack of provision for, or recognition of, the solo traveller - and consequently was not particularly looking forward to this cruise (or voyage as Cunard called it). On the first day at sea there was a reception for solo travellers at 12 noon (with fizz provided) in the Yacht Club hosted by Lauren the Social Hostess. There we met fellow solos along with the Gentleman Hosts. There was then a daily meet over coffee in the Lido, several lunches and finally a farewell reception before arrival in Southampton. Lauren got to know most of us and always had a friendly chat when out and about.
Through these sessions I met many interesting fellow solos (mainly More female it must be said) and chummed up with different ones for triva, excursions, nights bopping in the Yacht Club or just chatting over a drink. I am not a ballroom dancer but did observe the gentleman hosts making sure that any unaccompanied lady in the Queens Room was invited to dance - and one of them even got me to shuffle round the floor. I have read elsewhere complaints that the gentlemen favour certain ladies and this I did see happening at times but this was invevitable as several of the ladies who danced regularly were "round the worlders" so they had been dancing together for 3 months!
Another welcome offering were the watercolour classes where Freddie (our wonderful teacher) had everything set up every day at sea from 10am until 2.30pm so we could spend as much or as little time as we wanted on our "art". The art kit we purchased for US$35 was great value and Freddie instructed us on its use and then helped us as much or as little as we wanted rather than giving formal classes. This was another great way to meet people.
I thoroughly enjoyed this ship - thought it was beautifully appointed and well designed with lots of open spaces so it never felt crowded. I never experienced queues in the Lido, found service in the Britannia Restaurant unhurried but timely and found the crew generally polite and welcoming. Yes I could find faults here and there (mainly the quality of the meals) but nothing that would stop me from going on Cunard again - or recommend it to others. Less

A GROUP of dentists and dental nurses from Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust will be travelling to the city of Zomba in Malawi to support local healthcare staff.
The trip has been organised as part of the Trust's long standing charity link with the city, which has previously seen nurses and doctors visit to offer equipment, training and treatment.
Dawn Barber, team leader, said: "We are all really looking forward to our trip out to Zomba. It will be hard work, but we are relishing the opportunity to support the local dental staff there, as well as treating patients ourselves".
The Dentistry Department of Zomba Central Hospital is manned by one dentist and six dental therapists. Each day they treat an average of 90 patients and during national oral health week they hold 7 Dental clinics/ camps to provide dental health education for children at orphanages and primary schools.
The team from Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, who work in community dental surgeries across North Yorkshire, will be visiting Zomba from May 12 to 23.
Each member of the team is taking annual leave for the trip to minimise its impact upon the provision of dental care within the service.

This shocked me when I first saw it. But, while I was reading a translated interview with Dan Houser about GTA V, the interviewer asked this question:
Questioner: "GTA V seems the most ambitious game Rockstar Games has ever made. Do you feel threatened by the arrival of big games that want to impose themselves as essential as the open world game?"
Dan Houser: "No, not at all. After GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption, we knew what direction we wanted to take. Questionning ourself is something innate in us, certainly not because the competition is more intense in recent years. We are more in competition with the games we've created than with the games from other publishers. We respect them and we still enjoy playing their games."
If you have doubts about this being true, just look at the page in the sources section.

UFC President Dana White says retired UFC fighter Stephan Bonnar may be getting into pro wrestling. White made the comments after this past weekend's event:
"I think the thing that bums me out the most about the Bonnar thing is he didn't tell me. I offered you this fight. He wasn't planning on fighting. He said he was practicing to maybe do some pro wrestling. I've known Stephan for a long time, we have a great relationship – tell me. That's the thing that disappoints me the most."Tags: "bj Penn", Dana White, featured, mma, MMA NEWS, Stephan Bonnar, ufc, ufc news

Mayhem # 2807287
About MeI am an aspiring fitness model, power lifter and NPC Nationally ranked figure competitor! I began lifting weights when I was about 15 for a Goodrich High School's Power Lifting team. From my very first competitive meet, I was absolutely hooked. The rush of testing the maximum potential of my complete strength was rewarding in every essence. I suppose you could say I was a bit of a tom boy, but from where I grew up, getting a little mud on the tires was nothing short of normal. Over the course of my training, I fostered a passion for the science of strength, muscular endurance and means of nutrition and continued heightening my interests through my trials of progression in the sports' ADAU and USAPL sanctions. After earning state and national records in both divisions, I decided to hang my hat on the sport and try an entirely new challenge; The art of diet. I could produce high numbers during single presses and compound movements but I was always lacking the aesthetic "wow" factor of your prototypical "gym rat". In late 2010, I made the personal commitment to compete in my first figure competition.
After weeks and weeks of vigorous research and preparation, I stepped on stage for the first time at NPC's 2011 Grand Rapids National Qualifying Figure and Bodybuilding Champions where I went on to achieve first place in my height division and was presented with the Overall Figure Champion award for the entire show. Without taking a breath, I made my debut National appearance at NPC's Jr. USAs and achieved Top 10 ranking. The feeling of being on stage is almost supernatural to me and I wasn't ready to throw in the towel on the competitive season just yet. Still yearning to top my previous presentations, I committed to Michigan's final state level national qualifier, NPC's Western Michigan Championships where I was once again crowned the reigning Overall Figure Champion of the show. I was now the first female competitor awarded back-to-back Overall Figure Champion at the two biggest, most competitive National Qualifiers in Michigan at the age of 21. I never used age, environment or excuses as a crutch. I firmly believe that if there is a insatiable passion within yourself to reach a goal, the only possible limitation you truly have lies in the choice of attitude you characterize. Every day is an opportunity to define ourselves and emulate a legacy – I plan on further identifying myself as an inspiration to those seeking self-betterment, inside and outside of the competitive world. Committing yourself to a higher purpose, outlook or goal and in turn acquiring it is one of the most rewarding experiences we will ever experience. Rendering the notion that "impossible is nothing" is a wealth I tend to keep sharing, especially on my journey to my ultimate goal of becoming inducted into the IFBB Figure Pro ranks.

SkateBrake's Technology
Here's how it works
The SkateBrake features a simple yet innovative design that incorporates a high performance skate truck, a pair of automotive grade brake pads and non-turning rotors. The brake pads are attached to the wheels and help to insulate the wheels from heat generated during the brake process. The brake is activated by the rider via a standard bicycle style brake grip. When the brakes are applied the non-turning rotors are leveraged into the brake pads creating a friction brake force. The brake action is smooth and predictable just like a car brake.
SkateBrake features include:
-Heat management design- The brake is designed to conduct heat away from the wheels and into the truck assembly where it its safely convected into the atmoshere.
-Dual-disc brake system- uses 2" diameter brake pads for miles of downhill use. Replaceable brake pads snap into any 76mm or 80mm Kryptonic wheel.
-Brake adjustment- The brake can be adjusted by turning out the adjustment screw at the handle. For more detailed brake adjustment information see the skatebrake manual.
-Cable placement- The brake cable can be attached to the left or right hand side of the board depending upon your preference. The cable should be away from the riders "kick" foot.
-Remote hand-grip operation- The hand operated cable grip control gives the rider the "feet" of the brake. Teh brake grip becomes the riders throttle. Release the grip to accelerate and compress the grip to slow down.
SkateBrake Q & A
Q: Is the brake ready to go out of the kit?
A: Although the kit comes as a complete kit ready to go, you should check it out before you ride.
Make sure the brake grip activates the brake properly. Read the manual for details...
Q: Can I use my own wheels?
A: Currently brake pads will only fit 76mm & 80mm Kryptonic wheels. Replacement brake pads are available for $15.00 a set.
Q: Can I use my own trucks?
A: No - The SkateBrake truck hanger has been modified for the brake mechanism. The trucks are rock solid and ideal for high speed carving.
Q: How long do the brakes last?
A: The SkateBrake uses automotive grade brake pads and they are really durable. These pads should last for 40 - 100 miles skating depending upon the use.
Q: How do the brake pads attach to the wheels?
A: The brake pads are attached to a high-temperature plastic fixture that snaps into the wheel hub. The brake pads spin with the wheels.
Q: Do you sell replacement wheels?
A: Yes - 76mm Kryptonic Wheels are available in Tiki or Flame design for $4.00 each.
Q: Do you sell replacement brake pads?
A: Yes - The pads are $15.00 a set and will fit any 76 - 80mm Kriptonic wheel.
Q: What kind of bearings are in the brakes?
A: The SkateBrake comes with an Abec 1 bearing. Not the best. Abec 7 bearings are available for $15.00 a set.
Q: The brake pads rub up against the rotor some, is this ok?
A: Once you use the brake for a while the rubbing will smooth out. You can adjust the distance between the brake pad and the rotor by loosing the wheel nut.
Q: Can I use any board for the brake kit?
A: Most any board - The board you select should be a minimum of 4 inches wide where the brake cable attaches to the side of the board.
Q: Can I put the brake on the front of the board?
A: Yes, it does not really matter if the brake is located on the front or the back. Location is per your preference.
Q: Can I use the brake on my own invention?
A: Yes, please do. There are lots of great skateboard designs you can build. The brake just makes what ever you are doing on a hill safer.
For more detailed information on the brake see the Users Guide PDF file.

Skip to comments.Today's THV anchor Matt Turner killed in vehicle accident(Prayers needed for my family)
Posted on 10/08/2012 3:03:07 AM PDT by DCBryan1
Former KNWA news anchor Matt Turner has died in a car accident.
It happened Saturday night on Interstate 30 near Bryant, Arkansas.
He leaves behind his wife Julee and their young daughter Preslee, along with his mother and brother.
His family released this statement Sunday morning: "Matt always loved and protected his family and his greatest asset was his love for his daughter Preslee. He always put his family and friends ahead of himself and was constantly thinking ahead and planning on their behalf. Matt was a man of integrity and had a strong faith in God. While we are deeply saddened and feel a sense of great loss, we know that God will pull us through this very difficult time. We appreciate the support so many have already given and ask that you would remember us in your thoughts and prayers."
Matt left KNWA in July to deliver the news for KTHV in Little Rock, closer to his & Julee's hometown of Arkadelphia.
His memory remains as a large part of many employees at KNWA, people across Northwest Arkansas and the Razorback sports world.
After graduating from Ouachita Baptist University, Matt Turner first joined the KNWA team in August of 2003 as a sports anchor and reporter.
Turner caught the eye of management while reporting from Little Rock during the Nolan Richardson racial discrimination trial. As a sportscaster, he also covered several other important news events, including a tornado that ripped through Northwest Arkansas in March of 2006.
He was promoted to primary news anchor in July of 2006 and was voted best news anchor by several publications.
While working for KNWA, Turner moderated various political debates and loved volunteering in the community by emceeing events and fundraisers that raise money for local charities.
Matt and Julee had their first child in November of 2011, Preslee Bell Turner. His growing family was one reason he chose to leave KNWA and move closer to home.
His NWA family sends their condolences to the Turner and Bell families. Matt is greatly loved and missed at KNWA and in Northwest Arkansas.
"I am at a loss for words," says KNWA General Manager Lisa Kelsey. "Everyone at KNWA loves Matt, Julee and Preslee. We're just heartbroken right now. His entire family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
No funeral arrangements for Matt have been set at this time.
Our family is devestated at the loss of a good, Christian, conservative family guy to a tragic car wreck and ensuing post crash fire.
We are a family of faith and strong, but they need your extra help at this difficult time.
Matt's Mom, Lisa lost her husband a few years ago, and now her son has joined his Dad and Father, our Lord, in Paradise.
Thanks FReepers.

You and your family have my prayers.
My deepest sympathies to you and his family and friends. A sudden death leaves everyone shocked for quite awhile afterwards. Prayers especially for his wife and daughter.
How sad.
I watched him occasionally on KNWA. I didn't realize he had left the station, but hadn't seen him on for a while. [I don't watch local news broadcasts very often.]
May God wrap His arms around your family and bring great comfort in this difficult time.
RIP. Condolences to you and your family on your loss.
Prayers up for the entire family.

2) Kyle William was flat out pancaked on a third and long run in the second quarter. His play has fallen WAY off, to the point that he is no help in virtually any situation.
3) I love to see Graham line up as one of 2 in the slot. He gets open, and would go deep if he had a quarterback who could reach him.
4) I wanted the Bills to fire Wanny at halftime. Consider this a flat out call for his immediate dismissal. I will say it. His defense is worse than that of Jauron. I never in my life thought I would say this about any DC. Jauron had his team run away from scrimage, and this was actually better than the mess that Wanny has put forth. Disgusting. Absolutely sickening.
5) I don't even know who this kid Bradham is, but I thank him for caring enough to fight to make plays. Wanny will probably sit him and insert another defensive back. I am serious.
6) Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back
And more of the same.
7) Dareus? Like the kid, but he is getting handled at will, and he has zero push.
8) Fitz? He makes sure to kill any chance the Bills have of getting back into any game. The pick after the really nice gain by Brad Smith on the wildcat was the last straw. He is not, nor will he ever be a good starting quarterback. Case closed.
9) He did it AGAIN!!! Wanny had 1 f-----g linebacker on the field on 3rd and 5, with approx 5 1/2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Of course, they ran it down our throats.
10) Mario? He played like utter garbage, a total non-factor. Don't be fooled by that one pressure. Smith just happened to run into him. He was blocked out of the play, as usual.
11) This is HUGE imo. On one play, Kelsay ran in to relieve Mario, who promptly waved him off. Kelsay ran back to the sidelines. This begs the questions.....Does Wanny have ANY control? Does Gailey? The answers are obvious. If it were up to me, I would keep Gailey until the end of the year, but again, Wanny should be fired TONIGHT!!!!!!!
12) Aaron Williams is a lousy cb. Period. He had one decent game, once. He will never be any good, so say hello to another first round corner.
13) Well, we are now a record setting, laughing stock. I would apologize to my daughters for making them Bills fans, but girls, believe it or not, it will help you in the end. You won't give up on things. And, you will be more loyal than others, and people will see it. People you care about will know it, and you will be trusted in turn, because of this. The Bills are a mess no doubt, but they are OUR mess.
