A haircut that never was! - (USA)
It rained all day today but that didn’t stop us from accomplishing some errands. We met a couple of friends of ours at Starbucks. After an hour or so, we took our boy to the barber for a haircut. Boy, was it a struggle! I am not going into details but I guess we will not go back there until he is four. He sure doesn’t like anybody doing anything on his hair at all. Well, it was his second time which was a whole different experience for the both of us.If you’re a parent and have brought your unde

Steven Davison does Disney’s World of Color - (USA)
For those of you who saw Steven Davison do his recreation of the pitch he gave that sold Disney management on “Believe… There’s Magic In The Stars” he will forever be known as Mr Forty-two shells in six seconds (read this interview from 2001 on Laughingplace.com and watch clips of the presentation in part two). “Believe…” was the show that rewrote what was possible to do with fireworks at a theme park. Davison used the pyrotechnic explosions as if they were paint on a canvas and brought music

Matsuri da! (105): The festival for manly men - (USA)
DESPITE THE INTENSE COMPETION that is often part of Shinto festivals, which can range from events resembling ad hoc sporting events to those that look like shrine-authorized street rumbles, few of the matsuri have a martial air. One exception is the yabusame festivals, during which archers mounted on galloping horses fire arrows at targets as they race by. A manly man and his manly men Another exception is the Lord Shingen Festival , one of the largest in Kofu , Yamanashi . That

Discovering Tourism Along Chicago’s Navy Pier - (USA)
A trip to Chicago is not complete without a visit to Lake Michigan. While there are many ways to make a stop at the lake happen, one that guarantees a good time is a visit to Navy Pier, located right there on Lake Michigan. Opened in 1916, the Navy Pier has played host to a number of different occupants, including the United States military and the University of Chicago. Neither remained, and in the early 1990’s, the Pier was renovated to become the entertainment and recreation complex it is t

Jackson Williams: Don't Mess With Texas...Especially Its New Gun Law - (USA)
Texans and guns. Back in 2006 , Dick Cheney shot a man in Reno, err, Kingsville, in South Texas. In the face, while hunting quail in an open field. On a 53,000 acre spread. He claimed to be at least 90 feet from his victim (a hunting partner), and no charges ensued. It was played for laughs nationally because nobody died. Still, the elderly guy got seriously riddled in the face, head and upper body. He was in the hospital for weeks and will carry shrapnel the rest of his life.

July 4 fireworks: A luxury? Or necessity? - (USA)
Fort Lauderdale elected officials will decide today what to do about the high cost of fireworks. Meanwhile most other cities are moving ahead with their fireworks plans. Fort Lauderdale's costs, though, skyrocketed this year. Last year's price tag was about $80,000. This year's bid came in $50,000 higher. Why? The city employee in charge when I called Friday, David Miller, recreation superintendent, didn't return the call to explain the soaring cost. His office referred calls to the city's pu

City of North Bend turns 100 years old - (USA)
In early 1909, the part of the Snoqualmie Valley known as North Bend was different in almost every way from how it is today. Horse and buggy was still a favored mode of transportation. Hunting and fishing were the primary sources of recreation. Those who wanted supplies had only a handful of stores to choose from. And, since there was no newspaper in town, citizens making their way through daily errands likely would’ve come across handbills tacked to posts, which announced a series of specia

Pensacola Christian College Rules and Regulations - (USA)
The rules that follow are from the Pensacola Christian College Rulebook, a rulebook that is not given to students until AFTER they are on campus. (update: a current student at PCC says the handbook is now available months before school starts) The following excerpts are from the 2001-02 handbook. I would be glad to update this with the CURRENT handbook but since the PCC handbook is treated like a CIA secret document I doubt anyone will provide me with an updated handbook. I reformatted
