Head 90 miles northwest of Detroit, toward the center of the state, and you'll land in Lansing, the capital city of Michigan. Originally named Lansing Township in 1836 after the city in New York from which the pioneers of this new settlement originated, Lansing's humble beginnings gave way after the town was named the new capital of the state in 1847. After the Michigan House of Representatives deemed Detroit to be too close to the Canadian border, as British forces had previously used the close proximity of the Canada to capture Detroit during the war of 1812, they decided that Lansing's location in the middle of the state made more strategic sense. Its choice as the new political epicenter of the Michigan would bring with it massive growth for the city, which has since grown into a bustling metropolis whose industries include government, education, insurance, healthcare, and automobile manufacturing.
While the city center of Lansing is dominated by state government buildings, new restaurants, retail stores, and residential developments have recently breathed new life into the downtown area. Part of the Westside of Lansing, this area is considered to be the most socio-economically varied part of the city, as just outside of downtown one will find a large collection of residential neighborhoods with an abundance of rental apartments and homes. Lansing's Eastside is the most ethnically diverse part of Lansing and contains much of the city's commercial districts.
Numerous suburban neighborhoods line Lansing's Southside, the largest and most populous side of the city, while the Northside is home to Capital Region International Airport.
Lansing's daytime population raises by as much as 27% to over 150,000 due to the influx of persons who commute into the city for work, giving the city of lively daytime atmosphere which gives way to a more relaxed ambiance in the evenings.
If a higher education is what you're looking for, look no further than Lansing. Located in East Lansing, Michigan State University is the largest college campus in the United States. A member of the Big Ten Conference, MSU offers more than 200 different programs of study, and boasts fourteen different degree-granting schools and colleges including three medical schools, a law school, and numerous PhD programs.
Also acclaimed in its field of study, the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, located in downtown Lansing, is the largest law school in the nation. Lansing Community College offers state-of-the-art facilities and over 500 areas of study to its 18,000 on-campus students, as well as thousands more who study at the school's twenty-nine extension centers. Lansing is also home to several other smaller institutions of higher learning, as well as numerous public and private primary schools, making a Lansing apartment or home ideal for any family.
As MSU is the largest college campus in the nation, it comes as little surprise that they are one of the largest employers in the area as well. Since Lansing is the capital of the state, the state naturally employs a large percentage of the area's workforce as well. Manufacturing companies like General Motors and medical networks like the Sparrow Health System have a significant presence in Lansing.
Boasting a low cost of living (82 in the living index compared to the national average of 100), Lansing provides attractive options for those seeking rental apartments and homes in close proximately to metro areas, but without typical metropolitan premiums. With the average cost of a one-bedroom rental in Lansing at about $600 per month, and two bedroom rentals at well under $800 per month, finding affordable apartments and homes to rent in Lansing is convenient and easy.
If you're a music lover, you'll love Lansing. Scores of bars and clubs in downtown host live acts seven nights a week, and the Lansing Symphon has been entertaining audiences in Lansing since 1929. During the summer months the "Blues on the Square" festival is held along Washington Square and hosts various weekly blues acts from June through August.
Lansing also has several farmers' markets throughout the city. These markets include the year-round historic Lansing City Market located near downtown, while the Westside Farmers' Market, the Old Town Farmer's Market, and the Allen Street Farmer's Market on the city's eastside provide specialty foods during the summer months.
The Potter Park Zoo, located along the Red Cedar River in Lansing, has more than 500 different animal exhibits, as well as many programs and events for children and families. Lansing is also home to numerous museums, including the MSU Museum, the Abrams Planetarium, and the Kresge Art Museum, all of which are located on the campus of Michigan State University. You'll have no trouble finding local culture close to your Lansing apartment or home.
Lansing hosts several annual parades throughout the city, including the Silver Bells in the City Parade, held in celebration of the winter holidays, which attracts over 100,000 spectators every year to view the lighting of Michigan's official Christmas tree in front of the state capital and fireworks show. Annual music festivals are no stranger to Lansing also, as the annual Jazzfest and the Old Town BluesFest host leading musicians, and are two of the larger music festivals held each year in the state. If rock 'n roll is more your thing, you'll enjoy the annual week-long Common Ground festival held in downtown every July, which hosts national rock, metal and hip hop acts.
Any way you cut it, if you're looking for a modern urban or suburban rental apartment or home on a country town budget, it's hard to beat the value of Lansing.

November 22, 1999 Activities Suspended in Regroupment Camps in BurundiMSF has suspended its intervention in the regroupment camps in the rural province of Bujumbura, Burundi. Following the increased insecurity in and around Bujumbura, the population of the province has been regrouped into some 50 camps around the capital. Approximately 300,000 people - nearly two thirds of the population of the province - are living in these camps. MSF had agreed to bring assistance to the regrouped population, in order to provide primary relief and prevent the outbreak of epidemics due to overcrowding, lack of drinking water and lack of shelter at the start of the rainy season. MSF brought emergency relief assistance to 54,000 people in three camps: Ruyaga, Buhonga, Ruziba. However, after two months of relief activities, conditions in these three camps had not improved. MSF intends to maintain support to other ongoing programs in Burundi and remains prepared to intervene in case of epidemic emergencies. Increase in Violence in Sri LankaMSF is deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Sri Lanka. The recent outbreak of major fighting has caused civilian casualties and further hardships in the northern areas. MSF has called on the warring parties to respect international humanitarian law, stop indiscriminate attacks on civilians, guarantee front-line passage for relief goods and provide access to humanitarian agencies. "MSF field workers near the combat zone have already come across sad evidence of the indiscriminate use of force," said Operational Director Marcel van Soest. "Both the Sri Lankan army and the Tamil Tigers must respect the right of civilians not to be targets of attack." After having been isolated for a period, teams in Mallavi and Puthukkuydiyiruppu have now been allowed to leave and are being replaced with fresh medical and logistical staff. The situation for the front line city of Vavuniya remains critical. Says van Soest, "We are concerned that should fighting continue for an extended period, the civilian population in the affected areas is likely to face severe shortages of food and essential medical supplies. It is necessary that both sides take steps to ensure the open flow of humanitarian assistance to the civilian population." Second Severe Earthquake Hits TurkeyOn November 12, a 7.2 earthquake hit Turkey in the town of Duzce, 170 kilometers east of Istanbul. The earthquake was followed by more than 20 aftershocks. MSF immediately sent a team from Brussels, and together with its Turkish counterparts, arrived on the scene in Duzce within 12 hours. Since the Izmit earthquake earlier this year, MSF has maintained a stock of supplies in Istanbul, including medicines, medical equipment, water and sanitation supplies, and plastic sheeting, ready for distribution in just such an emergency. Teams set up a medical clinic in Kajnasjly, a town of 10,000 at the epicenter, where all medical facilities had been destroyed. Compared to the Izmit quake, in Duzce there were far fewer casualties since the area was sparsely populated and the emergency response was much improved. More East Timorese Return to their HomesNow that Interfet has the situation in East Timor increasingly under control, more and more Timorese are beginning to return home. So far, 50,000 of the 250,000 refugees have returned by boat, aircraft or land, with 2000 crossing the border every day. However, in the refugee camps in West Timor near the border, pro-Indonesian militias have been terrorizing the population with acts of murder and rape, and spreading misinformation about the situation in East Timor. As a result, the refugees hardly dare to admit that they want to go home. The aid organisations fear that attention to this problem from the Indonesian government and the international community will fade away, making it more and more difficult for the refugees to return. The first heavy rains in Timor fell last week, flooding both the stadium and the port area, so that a new transit center had to be set up. MSF, UNICEF, Worldvision and Caritas are collaborating there to receive the returnees. MSF is taking care of the medical inspections, and the team has treated cases of acute malaria, dehydration and diarrhea. Health posts in Liquica and Maliana have been set up and are serving as bases for the mobile teams covering the remote parts of these districts. The teams are also distributing emergency housing and other emergency aid. Mobile Clinics Visit Villages by Boat in Cyclone-Hit Region of IndiaMSF has started up operations in Orissa, the Indian province that was hit by the worst cyclone of the century in this region. The death toll is reportedly over 10,000 people, but the true extent of the disaster is still unknown. In the two coastal districts of Kendrapara and Jagathsinghpur, MSF is focusing on epidemiological surveillance and prevention of epidemics, particularly of waterborne diseases such as cholera, shigella, diarrhea and other communicable diseases such as measles. In Mahakalpadai (Kendrapara district), MSF is concentrating its efforts on the delta islands, which are accessible only by boat. The delta area is very remote, with inadequate health structures even in normal times. From Kendrapara, it can take up to five hours to reach these villages. The poor migrant fishermen from West Bengal and Bangladesh who live on these islands rely on fishing and rice paddies for their income. Both their boats and particularly their rice fields have been badly damaged by the severe winds and torrential rains. The total population in this region is approximately 25,000. With two mobile clinics operating by boat, MSF visits villages in rotation and provides from 60 to 80 consultations a day. The teams are confronted with scabies, diarrhea, respiratory infections, malaria, and measles. MSF is also monitoring the health in the slums of Paradip (Jagathsinghpur district), by providing epidemiological surveillance. Open Letter on Chechnya Issued to OSCE LeadersMSF released an open letter expressing "revolt and indignation concerning the plight of the civilian population in Chechnya," to world leaders gathered in Istanbul for the summit of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe(OSCE). The Chechen population has been the target of systematic, indiscriminate bombings by Russian forces for over two months. The all-out war led by the Russian military on Chechen territory has made impossible all independent humanitarian aid for the displaced and wounded civilians. Given the systematic violation of international human rights and OSCE rules regarding human and minority rights, MSF called on the OSCE to pressure the Russian authorities to stop immediately the indiscriminate bombing of the Chechen population, to authorize those who wish to leave Chechnya and seek refuge outside the country, and to give refugees and the wounded access to humanitarian assistance. Feeding Program in EthiopiaMSF has begun a feeding program for 5500 mothers and children in Konso in southwestern Ethiopia. A recent survey by MSF of 900 children in Konso revealed that 20 percent are malnourished. The mothers and children are being given supplementary feeding each week, consisting of flour with which to make porridge. A general food ration is being provided by another aid organization. "The harvest has failed in Konso for the past three years," said MSF nutritionist Saskia van der Kam, after a visit to Konso. The town, which is remote and has a harsh microclimate, is suffering a severe drought. MSF has so far distributed 40 tons of supplementary rations. Assistance to Flood Victims in CambodiaMSF has provided basic medical and nutritional aid to Cambodians displaced by severe flooding in the provinces of Pursat, Takeo, Kompong Speu, Kandal, and Phnom Penh. Working in cooperation with the local health authorities and the Cambodian Red Cross, MSF provided basic nutritional and medical assistance to 283 displaced families in the villages of Talo and Haal Til and to 160 familes (654 persons) from four severely flooded villages in Boeung Khnar. In Phnom Penh, MSF opened a health center to provide medical care for displaced people who sought refuge on higher ground. In addition, 6 outreach teams visited villages in the region to assess health needs and distribute water-purification materials and plastic sheeting for emergency shelter. Access to Essential Medicines Campaign Launched in EuropeMSF is launching the Access to Essential Medicines Campaign at the European Parliament in Brussels. Every year, millions of poor people die of curable diseases. The medicines for these diseases are too costly, lacking in quality or effectiveness, or out of production. The majority of tropical medicines were developed over 40 years ago and many are no longer effective due to the mutation of microbes into resistant strains. The pharmaceutical industry is neglecting tropical diseases, because they find it a commercially uninteresting market. The globalization of the pharmaceutical industry and international trade agreements have led to higher prices, further limiting access to medicines. The MSF campaign aims to find practical solutions for improving access to life-saving drugs. In Brussels, MSF is asking the European Union to take the lead in putting the access issues on the agenda of the World Trade Organization's new ministerial conference, starting in Seattle in late November. MSF affirms that within world trade agreements, essential medicines should not be treated like other products because access to them is a matter of life and death. MSF has also organized, together with Health Action International and Consumer Project on Technology, an international conference in Amsterdam on the issue of access to essential medicines. At this meeting, more than 300 health advocates, including representatives of NGOs, the pharmaceutical industry, national governments, and academia, from over 45 developing and developed countries will prepare their demands for the WTO conference. |

Specific Requirements by Instrument
Two or three memorized works chosen from the standard Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Twentieth Century repertoire. Scales and arpeggios may be requested.
Sufficient study to perform from works comparable to the Gleason Method of Organ Playing, the Orgelbuchlein of Bach, Fiori Musicali of Frescobaldi, and the Choral Preludes of Brahms.

Sample literature includes: Rudimental Swing Solos by Wilcoxen; Portraits in Rhythm by Cirone; Three Dances for Snare Drum by Warren Benson; Violin Sonata in A Minor, movement I or III by Bach; Suite for Xylophone and Orchestra by David Carey; selections from Raggedy Ragtime Rags by Randy Eyles; Juniper by Kristen Shiner McGuire; Suite for Timpani by Dave Mancini; selections from The Solo Timpanist by Vic Firth; Seven Solo Dances for the Advanced Timpanist by George Frock; Sonata for Timpani by John Beck.

Atheist News Podcast ProjectHey guys. I probably shouldn't put this off anymore, so I'm just going to jump on it and improvise. I'm pretty sure the show is over. It was a ton of fun doing it, but with work and my son and my wife in school I simply don't have time to do it anymore. Other folks have offered to take over but I don't really feel comfortable with that. Quit while you're ahead, sez I. Anyhow, I payed for another year of hosting, so the archive of podcasts will be available for at least that long. I really enjoyed podcasting, so I might do something again in the future. I'll keep you posted. Thanks guys and gals! It was AMAZING. Love, --Joe Questions, comments? |

Oh, Lawdy:
Tim Tebow To Deliver Easter Speech At Celebration Texas Church
1. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
forward into battle see his banners go!
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
2. At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee;
on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
3. Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
4. Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
but the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
we have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.
5. Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
this through countless ages men and angels sing.
This would be quite perky if we could get some of our favorite politicians to sing it in a choir, sort of like "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony"
I used to have to sing that song for chapel (private school and all).. I know the song very well. I have it memorized.
Yeah .. that song is scary.
Greg, you wrote, "Interesting how they missed that the weapons are not of this world, and that the armor was 'god's' - no armor needed when the creator of the universe is on one's side, right?"
Oh yes! I remember well putting on the armor of god ... believing love, peace and justice came through the strength of the blade and warrior.
Perhaps a film showing a mother hen protecting her chicks from the bright and hot sun is not appropriate for such a film. No! that would never work.
That's two and a half minutes of my life I will never get back.
Thank you all for commenting on that video. It's a reminder that we need to keep our eyes open about religiosity. Accomodationism has its appeal, and the idea of "moving on" is important, but as long as we have these crusaders of, whatever they are crusading for, eternal vigilance is needed. Plus it's nice to see that others are as outraged as I am.
Watched with the volume off, so forgive me if they explained it. Why is the dude dressed like a Roman soldier of all things? Is he gonna put a spear in the side of Jebus next?
That "bootcamp promo" is the most disgusting, outrageous, obscene video I can imagine; it was produced as a promotion? What on earth do these men think decency and strength looks like? Certainly not anything I respect.

Valentine's Day gifts for her
Designer Erin Fetherston may not "kiss and tell," but she certainly will "kiss and create" when inspiration strikes.
As it did last year when she was out with girlfriends and became fascinated by the wide variety of lipstick prints they all left on napkins. Mwah! Each one unique. So she gathered kiss prints from her gal pals in her studio and designed a custom lipstick print, which appears on various items in her spring line, including a strapless dress, skinny pants and a cosmetics bag. No surprise-- the line is called "Sealed with a Kiss." And perfect for Valentine's Day.
We've gathered a bunch of other ideas, available in stores or on websites--which for a little extra shipping fee can get goods to you by Thursday. -- Joseph V. Amodio

Each circle showcases its own distinct look, with demons, monsters, damned and geography that are crafted straight from the poem's vivid descriptions.

First, the team has to get past the competition at this weekend's West Region championship tournament in Turlock and Ripon.
A win in the 16-team U16 Super Group would send the team to Waukegan, Ill., just north of Chicago, for the U.S. Club Soccer XI National Cup from July 27 to 30.
Dayak said he was confident that the team's success in recent months has prepared the team, including players from Tracy and Livermore, for the task.
Among the Tracy players on the team's roster are Mireya Magana, Tayler Lennier, Amber Lennier and Adaurie Dayak, who all attend Kimball High, and Cailie Chayrez, a Tracy High student. Fellow Kryptonite players Stephanie Pawek, Jessica Hufford and Grace Cabri live in Tracy but attend St. Mary's High in Stockton.
Most recently, the Kryptonite team was one of seven West Coast Soccer teams to win its division at the Santa Cruz Pro Am Beach Soccer tournament on June 9 and 10, when the team went 4-0 for the weekend.
The Kryptonite also played up a couple of divisions to win the under-19 women's division in the Tracy Futbol Club Orange Bowl over Memorial Day weekend. They started with three shutouts in a row, 2-0 over FC Elk Grove, 7-0 over Merced United and 1-0 over Mission Valley United, on May 26 and 27.
The team then played to a 1-1 tie in regulation in the championship game against Lamorinda United. Lamorinda scored first before Adaurie Dayak passed to Brooke Rittmann, who scored the goal to tie it up. Kryptonite goalie Haley Crook blocked two shots on the penalty kick shootout, and Sarah Peterson kicked the winning shot.
That tournament win followed Kryptonite's May 6 win, 4-2, over Burlingame Blitz in the championship game of the 2011-12 Nor Cal Premiere Soccer State Cup U16 Gold division.
Troy Dayak, a former Olympic soccer player and a San Jose Earthquakes Hall of Fame player, is the director of coaching for West Coast Soccer, which he created to develop players with the potential to move on to college teams.
West Coast Soccer's under-14 girls Wild team was also one of the champions of the Memorial Day weekend TFC Orange Bowl going 4-0 for the weekend with shutouts in every game. Wild was also a champion at the Santa Cruz Pro Am tournament earlier this month. One of the players on that team is Miciah Madison of Mountain House, who was among four West Coast Soccer players selected to participate in U.S. Youth Soccer's Olympic Development Program regional camp in Moscow, Idaho, from July 8 to 13.
West Coast Soccer's newest team, the under-13 girls Wonder, was also an Orange Bowl and Santa Cruz Pro Am champion.

Cain Donors Stand By Their Man For Now
November 9, 2011 NPR spoke with nearly two dozen Herman Cain campaign donors. Most say they don't believe the sexual harassment accusations and that they will consider giving more money to his campaign; two said they already had. But others are wavering, ever so slightly.
The Two-Way
Cain Accuser Says She Didn't Want Controversy
November 9, 2011 Karen Kraushaar hoped details of her harassment claim would stay secret. She didn't want controversy. Meanwhile, the AP has details of a complaint she filed against another employer. And a Cain aide falsely claimed Kraushaar's son works for Politico.
The Two-Way
Cain Says He Won't Drop Out Of Presidential Race
November 8, 2011 Amid allegations from four women of sexual harassment, the presidential candidate denied anew that he had ever behaved inappropriately and said the alleged incidents "simply didn't happen." He said he would be willing to take a lie-detector test if there were a good reason.
It's All Politics
One Of Herman Cain's Initial Accusers Is Identified
November 8, 2011 Another name of a woman accusing Herman Cain of sexual harassment has surfaced. A lawyer for Karen Kraushaar previously gave an anonymous account of her complaint against Cain.
The Two-Way
Cain: 'There's Not An Ounce Of Truth' In Latest Allegations
November 8, 2011 The Republican presidential candidate says he will hold a news conference today to respond to the detailed allegations leveled against him by Sharon Bialek of Chicago. She accuses him of groping her during a 1997 encounter in Washington, D.C.
The Two-Way
New Cain Accuser Steps Forward With Detailed Account
November 7, 2011 A Chicago woman, Sharon Bialek, says that in a 1997 encounter with 2012 Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain he touched her in a sexually suggestive manner. Cain's campaign says her claims are "false accusations."
The Two-Way
New Cain Accuser Expected To Come Forward Today
November 7, 2011 Attorney Gloria Allred says her client will be at a news conference this afternoon in New York City to speak about what the woman says was sexual harassment by the Republican presidential contender. Cain has said he never harassed anyone.
It's All Politics
No Interview Planned, Gloria Cain Continues To Shun Spotlight
November 4, 2011 Although Herman Cain said earlier this week that America would soon "meet my wife publicly in an exclusive interview," no television appearances have been scheduled for Gloria Cain, who has been largely absent from the campaign trail.
It's All Politics
Cain Accuser Stands By Harassment Allegations
November 4, 2011 A woman who accused GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment alleged Friday that the incidents were "a series of inappropriate behaviors and unwanted advances from the CEO."
It's All Politics
Poll: Cain Still Tied With Romney Despite Sex Harassment Claims
November 4, 2011 There's been anecdotal evidence and plenty of signs on social media, that many Republicans still support Herman Cain bid for president despite revelations the trade group he once headed paid monetary settlements to women who accused him of sexual harassment. Now we have some data in a new poll that shows him tied with Mitt Romney.
Cain Leads In Polls, But Some Doubt His Strategy
November 4, 2011 The Republican presidential candidate is facing allegations of sexual harassment and has made gaffes on the campaign trail. But what has political professionals scratching their heads is the way Herman Cain is running his campaign — not spending much time in critical early voting states like Iowa.
Cain Has Long Ties To Koch Brothers-Linked Group
November 4, 2011 Americans for Prosperity first enlisted the Republican presidential candidate in 2005 to spearhead what it called the Prosperity Expansion Project. Herman Cain met his future campaign manager, his first press secretary and the architect of his 9-9-9 tax plan while working with the organization.
It's All Politics
Cain Accuser Won't Release Name; New Details Emerge
November 3, 2011 People who had direct knowledge of the complaints against Cain at the time have told NPR that they detail persistent harassment.
It's All Politics
Herman Cain And The Race Card
November 2, 2011 Here we go again with the race-card business.Questioning the motives of those seeking the truth about the sexual harassment allegations against him when he led the National Restaurant Association, Herman Cain said he suspects critics on the political left of attacking him for racial reasons.

Greetings! Although I have regularly visited The Cichlid Room Companion for years, I'm new to the Forum.
I am currently maintaining a group of F1 Thorichthys sp. 'coatzacoalcos' that I obtained as fry from the 2007 ACA Convention in Sacramento in a 72x24x18 aquarium. Some may be more familiar with the designation 'mixteco' for this undescribed Thorichthys. Mine represent the 'Blue' color form. I did note the excellent discussion thread about this fish on the Forum:
I don't have any good photographs of my fish, but I did manage to record a video showing a pair guarding their eggs and courting specimens exhibiting to each other:
I have found them to be excellent parents and, for heroine cichlids, reasonably well-behaved citizens in a planted, community aquarium.
I would be interested in the impressions of those who've also kept this fish and/or observed it in its native habitat.

Q. It's impossible to live completely cruelty-free. Almost everything we do causes suffering. Why try at all?
A. True, it is impossible to completely avoid causing any suffering in our lives. However, that doesn't justify an "open season" for flagrant animal abuse. By adopting a vegetarian diet, we can dramatically reduce the amount of suffering we cause in our daily lives.
Being vegetarian isn't about being "pure." Rather, it is about doing what we can—within reason—to remove our support for animal cruelty.
Q. Other animals eat each other. Why can't we eat them?
A. Predators in the wild kill other animals out of necessity. Without doing so, they wouldn't survive. We kill other animals by choice. Our bodies don't need meat at all. In fact, it has consistently been shown that a low-fat vegetarian diet is healthier than a diet heavy with animal products.
Is it acceptable to inflict suffering on countless animals for something that isn't even necessary?
Q. If you want to be vegetarian, that's fine. But, don't tell me what to do.
A. Imagine saying to someone, "If you don't want to beat your dog, that's fine. But, don't tell me not to beat mine." While we are entitled to believe what we like, we are not entitled to treat others—especially those weaker than us—however we like. If we are responsible for harming others, people have every right to ask that we stop.
Q. If the animals are raised to be eaten, isn't that okay?
A. Two hundred years ago in the United States, humans raised other humans to be slaves. The fact that these people were raised to be slaves did not justify slavery. Similarly, raising animals for the purpose of eating them does not justify their exploitation.
Q. Where do you draw the line? Insects? Plants? Bacteria?
A. Because of their lack of a brain, nervous system, pain receptors, and so on, it is certain that plants and bacteria do not suffer (though you kill many fewer plants by eating them directly, rather than by funneling them through farmed animals, as discussed here). There are some animals (such as insects) who we are not certain are capable of suffering. It is up to each individual to decide where she or he feels the line should be drawn. All of the pigs, cows, chickens, fish, and other animals we raise and kill for food are able to feel pain. Because of this, they deserve to be free from misery just as much as dogs and cats do.
Q. Humans are the smartest animals and we're the "top of the food chain." Why shouldn't we use our strength to our benefit?
A. The argument that "might makes right" has been used by many to justify countless forms of cruelty and domination throughout history. Just because we're able to be cruel doesn't mean we ought to be.

We are excited to have just completed the design work on a custom home on Ithecaw Creek Street in Daniel Island Park. This house has wonderful views of the 16th hole of the Ralston Creek Course. Like many clients these days, these homeowners were excited to create some nice outdoor living spaces. They will have a nice large screen porch that opens out to a raised terrace with a fire pit nearby. Each room is filled with glass to bring in plenty of light and open up the house to the gorgeous views. This home will also feature a beautiful custom, climate controlled wine room, 4 bedrooms, and a nice open floor plan. Perfect for entertaining!
We are excited for construction to begin soon! As soon as it does, we will be sure to update the blog with photos of the progress. For now, here is a rendering of the house we designed for our clients.

Renelle was a fantastic instructor - she catered to the individual needs of the group and really helped me to improve my technique. She also made sessions fun by mixing it up and teaching us lots of tricks - I had a great time!
I attended group level 2l lessons and was scared of everything and Renelle was great, kept encouraging me and kept me calm when I was starting to freak out. I got so frustrated at not being able to grasp it as quick as I had wanted to and was ready to quit, Renelle said `we don't quit`we`re a team` I... More
Excellent tuition! My boyfriend and I have just got back from a week in Tignes & choose Alliance Snowboard School for our lessons.

If you want to improve your snowboarding or just ride with a good crew then it doesn't get better than Alliance.

Did a week of "pimp my ride" with Rory, what a legend! all instructors are English so nothing is lost in translation. I can't rate this school high enough.

I have been snow boarding a few times but wasn't improving. I booked a weeks level 2 lessons which were taken by Simon. Before Simon took us for a run he examined our boards and made a few alterations which made an immediate difference. Simon clearly explained techniques and was very patient when I was a little slow in consistently... More
Forget the po-faced ski schools where you spend all lesson in a tense line up. These guys like to have fun and teach you all the cool tricks at the same time. Great at instilling confidence in the most unconfident boarder, Alliance are a breath of mountain air in Tignes.
My 10 year-old daughter Izzy has just had her first week's course of snowboarding lessons with Renelle at Alliance - she's awesome! So friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and with the patience of a saint! My daughter has enjoyed her time with Alliance so much, she's begging to go back next year to progress onto the next level with Renelle. I can... More

The ones going south who are running late and want to make a left turn into a parking lot through 2 lanes of northbound cars stopped for a light, while beside them is a long free-flowing northbound right-turn lane with a 45 MPH speed limit. The problem? As soon as some kind people let the latenik have a gap, she immediately pulls into the free-flowing lane as if she had the right-of-way (as if!!) -- without even looking -- thus causing a serious wreck in each case. I have seen women do this TWICE on the same 1-mile stretch of road in Raleigh, North Carolina. It apparently happens right there about every year. I'm not saying this kind of idiocy is limited to women, just what I personally saw. So... Did either woman make her last-minute whatever-it-was? HELL NO! Was it worth it to skip the crucial 5 seconds of pulling slowly forward while listening for the horn of an approaching car? HELL NO! Would it have been worth waiting 5 or 10 seconds to prevent totalling 4 cars and damaging others? YOU BET!
The guy who leaves 2.5 car lengths of space between himself and the guy in front of him on a 2-lane road at a stop light, causing the line of traffic to back up so far that I am forced to drive on the wrong side of the road to get to the left-turn lane, where there are 2 cars.

Yes, these are the worst.. but are less annoying and more amusing.

No way. That's not "tailgating," imo, that's "asking you to pass." But I LOATHE tailgaters, especially on a two-lane road in a school zone during school hours. There are frigging signs explaining that you have to, you know, go slower. If you don't want to do so, don't take the road. And don't ride my ass! I have to deal with this every single morning, and there at least a half-dozen wrecks in this school zone every year because some jackass really needs to drive 45 for the .2 miles of school zone that he can't slow down for. Think of the children, jerkface! ETA: The particular road I'm talking about has "School" in its name. It shouldn't come as a mystery that people are driving 25mph, as posted, at 7:30 in the morning. Seriously, it is NOT the responsibility of the people driving safely and legally to oblige the guy who just really needs those extra 3 seconds that speeding through the school zone would give him.

For me, it's definitely "I am already going 25-30 miles over the speed limit on this busy road and I am not moving into a lane that is driving much slower than I already am, so back off my ass or I will slow the hell down to the actual speed limit AND THEN WE'LL PLAY." Followed closely by "oh, yes, yes, I see how your turn signals should only be used when you're in a turn lane that's already clearly marked as turn-only, and absolutely should never be used when you change lanes. Makes total sense!"
The bicycle guy who needs an entire lane of the road when there's sidewalk. Or even without sidewalk. Still annoying. It's especially bad when you've only got one lane going in that direction.

As a cyclist who is routinely almost hit by drivers, saved solely by very stressful, defensive riding: Burn in Tartarus. It's easy for people like you to whine about cyclists when you have a airbags and seat-belts to mitigate the mistakes you make while driving with your knees and yacking on your cell-phones with a Big Mac in one hand and the other on the radio tuner. There is rarely a good excuse for hitting cyclists, especially considering how many of them are children. You're the one operating thousands of pounds of mass; you're the one who needs to be responsible. You may think you're a safe driver; but the dangerous manners are magnified in the view of the cyclist. How dare I assume this? Believe me, I've observed that over 90% of the automobile operators don't know how to drive and endanger the lives of others; I've not observed nearly so much of cyclists, and they are generally only a danger to themselves. The only reason common people imagine their driving is safe is because they have not been in an accident. This fallacy blatantly disregards probability. If unsafe driving ensured an accident then we wouldn't call them accidents. They're not supposed to happen all the time, and the only reason they do happen is because people drive dangerously enough of the time that probability permits the accident to occur.

(Great subject by the way -lots of passion around this subject out there!)
Let me speak carefully here. Absolutely, cyclists are subject to the rules of the road, and more of them should realize it. On the other hand, every vehicle operator (cyclists included) has the right to use the road. If the only safe way to get through a stretch of road which is unsafe for passing is to ride in the middle, that is what the rider must do. If you don't like it, speak to your roads department about widening the road. Of course any reasonable rider will pull over to let those cars pass as soon as it's safe.

Operating a vehicle on the sidewalk, whether it's a bicycle or a car, is illegal.
tiler100 wrote:Awesome! Folks, if you think tailgating is a problem or epidemic on the highways, it's your own fault. If you knowingly block or slow people down or worse, try to play traffic regulator in any way, it's your fault. There's nothing more insane than someone who prevents a person from passing them and then complains how closely they keep. YOU PUT THEM THERE YOURSELF! The only time I get my bumper ridden is in heavy traffic when I can't go faster than everyone or move over to let the people faster than me, pass.
SO TRUE! People seem to thing that if they're going "fast enough" in the fast lane -- then everyone behind them can just f-off. I don't care how fast you're going -- pull to the right when you can and let the person behind you pass! You are more likely to cause an accident with your slow down/stomp the brake games -- than the guy speeding.
tiler100 wrote:I'm requesting cooperation all the way around. If you can recognize the way to diffuse a dangerous situation and choose not, when it all goes wrong you're just as much at fault irrespective of who gets charged with breaking the law. You being right about driving the legal limit isn't going to undent your car. You could have prevented it yet chose to make a stand for your "correctness." You speak of rules of the road. One of the "rules" of our roads is slower traffic keep right. This is evidenced by signs on certain stretches of interstate, signs that indicate passing lanes and moreover, Drivers Ed. It's really disingenuous to tout one "road rule" to excuse yourself from obeying another. Ask yourself why you get tailgated. The answer is the same as to the question, "why won't I move over?" If you're not in the left hand lane or don't have a way to let slower traffic around, I'm not talking to you. Maintaining defiant your right to cruise in the left hand lane is, in effect, maintaining your desire to have your ass ridden by faster traffic. I think some of you are merely jealous of the fact that I don't get tailgated and you, yourselves, don't have the gumption to make the better decision to avoid it. Agree with me or not, I don't care. I'm giving you the answer to being tailgated and you're sitting on your "rights." Enjoy your rights as I do not having people sit on my bumper on the interstate.
I am ***SO*** enjoying reading your posts!!! I remember cruising along in the fast lane in Southern CA (yes passing slower traffic) when I saw a wave of traffic ahead of me hit the brakes even though there was no visible traffic accident or traffic jam up ahead. That usually meant speed trap -- so I slowed down to exactly the speed limit. The proverbial "blonde in the red sports car" behind me caught up to me and then proceeded to climb up my bumper and give me the finger before I could move to the right safely. I happily pulled over into the right lane to let her pass the first chance I got. Shortly after I passed the blonde pulled over on the side of the road getting a ticket. I made sure to wave nicely as I passed. Made my day!
The guy that curses you for cutting in front of him because he can't read a f&^%$#g yield sign. For that matter, anyone who has a conniption aimed at you because he's too stupid to understand the complex concept of traffic laws.
The guy (or gal) that passes me on the way into town, at the last second before two lanes become one. So he(she) can be, uhhh, what? 1 car sooner at the various stoplights ? Many of these complaints are about impatient people that really gain nothing by their impatience. I'll say one thing for them: They're truly living in the moment.
The Krampus that cuts into my following distance. Because, you know, weaving in and out of lanes helps traffic go faster. Especially when the guy that cuts you off and slows down stops all traffic because no one wanted a following distance. But what do I know, I only end up passing both of those Krampuss by driving logically.

Hahahaha been late to school a time or two because of drivers like this. Its just inconsideration plain and simple
the guy who has to drive in the left lane and do either exactly the posted speed limit or below it! THE LEFT IS FOR PASSING, MOVE THE F*** OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As one of those old farts in a big Grand Marquis, I'm one of those people doing the speed limit (or a few over) in the right lane. I come from that era when you learned 'Keep right except to pass'. I guess they don't teach that anymore. On the other hand, people that want to go fast in the left lane but can't, are just as happy to tailgate in the right lane. Then there's those that tailgate even though I am passing, but just not at 80. If you think you have a god given right to drive 80 all the time, even when there's heavy traffic, you're just in for some disappointment. I get there just about as quickly, but with a lot less stress.
The I drive on the shoulder because I'm more important than the rest of you guy.
The A$$hole that cuts in rather than waiting their turn to any particular turn off or on ramp. AKA - line-cutter. Hate those kind of people!
The guy in the Giant RV towing a jeep in the left lane while only going 35mph!
I greatly appreciate anybody who drives faster than I but doesn't place me in peril. God bless you for paying that ticket. How about the gets up your tailpipe so you get over just to be polite and a good citizen then he gets up far enough to put his bright lights in your rear view mirror and then paces you guy? I hate him. Basically, behaviors that bother people in general on the road include three things: impeding the general progress of traffic, creating a safety hazard, and minor annoyances. So get there quick, get there safe, and for Christ's sake, you changed lanes a mile back, turn off the flasher. Regarding bicyclists in the lane rather than on the sidwalk, etc,
mousikos wrote:As a cyclist who is routinely almost hit by drivers, saved solely by very stressful, defensive riding: Burn in Tartarus. etc etc...
Bicyclists face a number of challenges on the roads, one being the fact that the bicycle in most municipalities is considered a vehicle and is not allowed on the sidewalk. When there is no bicycle lane, they have to be on the vehicle lanes. By my own experience, if you hug the curb on your bike, drivers will typically give you 3" - 6" of clearance when they blow past you at 40mph faster. I learned to grab the center of the lane; they always gave me plenty of room, getting all the way into the other lane to pass. And I have been hit by a vehicle while I was legally using the crosswalk, thank you very much. Just don't take the bike on the freeway; you deserve what you get if you do. :-P
the woman on her cell phone that doesn't pay attention and acts like she owns the road
Those who don't acknowledge the difference between a 2- 3- and 4-way stop, either stopping when they have the right of way, or ignoring the right of way of others. Also, the guy who plants a tree right in front of the stop sign, making me a part of group #2.

Yeah, they need to stay on the side. I am patient and understanding with bikers who stay as far to the right possible and I am willing to wait for an opportunity to pass but those riding in the middle are not acceptable. I told my kids to ride on the sidewalk if there is not a wide enough shoulder. My husband says that's illegal but I don't care. I'd rather they were alive. They can carefully leave the sidewalk so as to avoid pedestrians. My oldest son got a gas scooter.. it goes 15mph max. I told him to stay on the far right of the road or get up on the sidewalk. I looked up requirements for scooters and the VDOT said they were allowed on sidewalks.

Bicyclists here and in the Peoples Republic of Boulder ride through stop signs and red lights most times. On several occasions I had the green light or right of way at stop signs, and the bicyclists crossed in front of me, as if they have no rules to obey, and they can do whatever they please. Just last week I was driving down a side street, and I watched an entire family (2 parents and 3 kids) blow right through 3 stop signs, and cars with the right-of-way had to swerve or slam on their brakes. The dad threw up the one finger salute to one of the drivers and rode on. That's not a good way to teach his kids about bicycle etiquette and the rules of the road. So stop hissing and moaning about drivers, as I see bikers making their own rules every day and being nasty about it all! I ride a bike too, but I follow the rules of the road the same as when I'm in my car, since anything can happen at anytime, and I want to be safe as there are dangerous drivers too.
the guy (or gal) who's driving in ground-hugging fog without his/her lights on. Seem to think that just because they can see the road right in front of their vehicle, everybody else can see them. This is especially bad when you're trying to turn a corner and suddenly this large dark form looms up in front of you. Can you say t-bone?

The Andretti who zips between lanes going 10-15mph faster than everyone else (who are usually already speeding), constantly cutting people off and often coming within inches of clipping me. Also, people who flash their brights at me for the heinous crime of going the speed limit in the left lane of a four-lane highway with heavy traffic where every exit is a cloverleaf and cops are always looking to bust people for doing 60 in a 55 zone. Fellas, I'm through traffic, if it was six-lane like it ought to be I'd be in the middle lane but until then we've all just got to deal with it.
