In explaining the growing gap between what he calls the new upper class and the new lower class Murray writes,
As I've argued in much of my previous work, I think that the reforms of the 1960s jump-started the deterioration. Changes in social policy during the 1960s made it economically more feasible to have a child without having a husband if you were a woman or to get along without a job if you were a man; safer to commit crimes without suffering consequences; and easier to let the government deal with problems in your community that you and your neighbors formerly had to take care of.In talking about religious affiliation and its decline among the new lower class (i.e. Fishtown in this article) he says,
Whatever your personal religious views, you need to realize that about half of American philanthropy, volunteering and associational memberships is directly church-related, and that religious Americans also account for much more nonreligious social capital than their secular neighbors. In that context, it is worrisome for the culture that the U.S. as a whole has become markedly more secular since 1960, and especially worrisome that Fishtown has become much more secular than Belmont. It runs against the prevailing narrative of secular elites versus a working class still clinging to religion, but the evidence from the General Social Survey, the most widely used database on American attitudes and values, does not leave much room for argument.His discussion of a remedy to the growing gap between the classes is directed toward the upper classes:
Life sequestered from anybody not like yourself tends to be self-limiting. Places to live in which the people around you have no problems that need cooperative solutions tend to be sterile. America outside the enclaves of the new upper class is still a wonderful place, filled with smart, interesting, entertaining people. If you're not part of that America, you've stripped yourself of much of what makes being American special.
Such priorities can be expressed in any number of familiar decisions: the neighborhood where you buy your next home, the next school that you choose for your children, what you tell them about the value and virtues of physical labor and military service, whether you become an active member of a religious congregation (and what kind you choose) and whether you become involved in the life of your community at a more meaningful level than charity events.In conclusion Mr. Murray kind of plays devil's advocate to his own proposal and says, "We're supposed to trust that large numbers of parents will spontaneously, voluntarily make the right choice for the country by making the right choice for themselves and their children?" His answer to this is yes.
Maybe that's his Libertarian side coming through--you don't need a lot of directives, plans and legislation; just leave people alone and good people will do the right thing. The problem is that they don't, that the road to hell is often paved with the good intentions of good people and, anyway, there are plenty of bad people out there promoting bad things that destroy the efforts of the good people.

Moroso: sometimes minimalist
As I told in the previous post, it is impossible to find a designer purely minimalist. And of course, it's even more difficult to find a design company which involves in its production only minimal items. So what I'm trying to do now, it's to root out this objects.
The first (very beautiful) items that i found is these seating elements called "Shanghai Tip" designed in 2006 by Patricia Urquiola and produced by Moroso.
Moroso is one of the most important and influential design company of the world: they have showrooms in the more fashionable and avant-garded cities like Milan, London, Amsterdam. New York and many others. As you can check up in their site, they have been operating since 1952 and they have always been in contact with great designer. Moroso is particularly interested in the design of sofas and accessorises for the home living.
The designer of this "Shanghai Tip", Patricia Urquiola, was born in Sapin but studied Architecture in Italy, where she still working as a designer. She collaborated with a lot ok "guru" of Italian and Milanise design such as Achille Castiglioni, Bruno Munari and since 1998 she's been working for Moroso.
This Shanghai Tip seems to be minimal. I can't know if the designer created it with the intention of "making something minimal". Objectively, lines and shapes are simple an linear, basic colors too. But, as I'm discovering, pure minimalism doesn't seem to be sufficient. This is why, in opposition to these lines and neutral colors, the sofa is presented equipped by colorful cushions and bright low tables. This contrast enrich the whole.

Well, I suppose many of you that read this, also read the "Hometown" web page, and have been privy to all this kerfuffle going on. As usual, it appears I have backed the slow horse. The thoughts and opinions of myself and others backing this plodding animal, have incised one to even suggest we walk off a short pier.
I am the first to admit, I am pig headed. However, I also like to get all my facts before stepping onto a pier, short or not. I will read, I will Google, I will listen..today there is so much more out there to search than back in High school. I realize that almost everything that happens in my life, has, indeed happened to someone else. If I am lucky I will be able to see how that other person dealt with the issue, what errors they made, and I can ensure I don't make the same errors. However, often the rules that were in place for the previous person, are suddenly different. Then I have to be extra careful, and step very slowly.
Now I listen to a group of people who heard a condensed shiny version of the future, and they jump up in glee. They refuse to read, Google, or listen. They feel no one has the right to question their actions, and..even worse, they refuse to question the actions of those who have given the condensed version. They feel they can wade through red,green, and invisible tape, without assistance...in fact they are totally pi$$ed that others who have no business, are in their business.
Hold up there Mr. Progress...Rules have changed. Hold up those who state our economy is based on foreign exports, rules have indeed changed there. Once again, the People's Republic of China is holding out a cookie to you. That cookie might look really good, but so did that Pet food, that was sent to you, processed in a country with a totally different set of standards. That toy you bought for Junior, hey, it was pretty nice, except when he chewed the flipping lead paint off that has been banned in our country, but...yep, you got, it, not in China!
The problem would not be as immense if we could look at something, check out where it is from, and simply refuse to purchase anything that does not meet the same rules and regulations companies in our country must follow. But, when you open the door to industry, and your progress is tied to dealings with China, you had best study up. The rules in trade with this particular country are far different than anything you imagine.
Our government has created so many back room deals to plead with them to come on over and suck out what they need, you best beware. You will get to a point where perhaps they have done something disastrous, something environmentally horrible...you will insist they cease, and...guess what folks, any profit lost from putting up a road block, will be paid out of your pocket!! Yep...did you know that? I have not read the whole agreement, however I have Googled FIPA and it is a very scary agreement. They can come in, and take what they want, in a manner they wish. They can bring their own over to mine in a process that until now, was against our mining regulations because of the safety issue, which is why only Chinese can do this type of work. So, apparently our government turns a blind eye to rules set for North Americans, allows China to mine "straight Wall" and agrees Canadians need not apply..Perhaps that is out of concern for the safety of our own?
The difference in our exporting to foreign countries is this...Up until now, Canadians did the work to provide the resources to export. Our country made money through taxes paid by working Canadian, mining, logging, and yes, in oil and gas. What is happening slowly but surely, and no, I am NOT fearmongering, is that these companies lower their wages, they require employees to work in unsafe conditions, and then when the greedy Canadians start to whine, they get exactly what they planned in the beginning, they hire their own!
I am unsure how much our government is making on these deals, hopefully enough to make up for the loss of income tax from their own. To those who request the plodding horse be put to sleep, this is the future! To imagine you will suddenly be handed over good paying jobs, with the advent of Chinese LNG projects, grow up!!!
You will simply end up in the same place as I am with Site C. This will end up in your backyard. Unlike me, you won't get diddly squat from it, and anything it destroys will not even be mitigated. You will simply have to shut your mouths and swallow.
Those who have been sticking their noses in your business, are different from those who you are opening up your welcoming arms to. They are people who actually care about your community. Do the Chinese? Does the company looking to make a massive fortune as the middleman to the Chinese? No, he is simply a person who is getting paid, very well, to set in motion what they want,and, yes, need. They need it!!! For goodness sakes, they are NOT doing you a favour, they are attempting to find the cheapest easiest way to get what they need!!!
A person simply needs to click on their computer to find out how the Chinese have abused their own country, and they live there!!! Do you want a job with Chinese wages, and Chinese safety standards so badly, you don't care what happens? Do you think once an application is accepted that you can sit down and make up your rules? Nope, it is clear, most folks will just sit back and let this play out the way those in the drivers seat want. Will these same people be squawking when no one listens to them? Could happen, but, that's O.K. they opened the door to industry, without any questions, and now they can gallop into another pile of sh*t!
The Canada-China Investment Treaty allows Chinese companies (including
state-owned enterprises) to sue the Government of Canada over decisions
that can limit or reduce their expectation of profits. In
treaty language, this is called "tantamount to expropriation." China
can claim damages against Canada for decisions at the municipal,
provincial, territorial or federal level. Even decisions of our courts
can give rise to damages. The damage claims start with six months of
diplomatic negotiation. If that fails, damage claims move to arbitration
– behind closed doors.
Just in case you don't believe what I said.

This works. Just differently then you're used to. You type out whatever you want to type. As I have here. Then, this is what I want the link to be. So you highlight that, with your mouse.. Then click the link button above, and enter the url (I'll use this topic's url)
hope that helps.
I also discovered that in advanced mode when you add a link it takes the URL and then enters that into the edit window with the text highlighted so you just need to type the alternate text you wish to use and the alt text link is created.

By nearly 2-to-1, 62%-34% Americans Support Congressional Investigation of Government Spying Programs
USA Today Reported May 15, 2006 that:
A majority of Americans disapprove of a massive database containing the records of billions of phone calls made by ordinary citizens, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. About two-thirds are concerned that the program may signal other, not-yet-disclosed efforts to gather information on the general public.
The survey of 809 adults Friday and Saturday shows a nation wrestling with the balance between fighting terrorism and protecting civil liberties.
By 51%-43%, those polled disapprove of the program, disclosed Thursday in USA TODAY. The National Security Agency has been collecting phone records from three of the nation's largest telecommunication companies since soon after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Americans are split on whether the news media should report information about the government's secret methods to fight terrorism: 47% say yes; 49% say no.
They want to learn more about this program, though. By nearly 2-to-1, 62%-34%, they support immediate congressional hearings to investigate it.

On Tuesday evening Bob and Anita caught up with us in Middlewich. They'd had a good trip up from Bartington without too many dramas and the old boat behaved, apart from a considerable leak from the stern gland. That was sorted by pumping a load of grease into it, something that probably hasn't happened for a while…
It's not fit to sleep on, though, having no bed, so they toddled off home. Bob turned up in the morning yesterday and helped us move Seyella up the Middlewich Locks, under instruction from yours truly. Then after a bite to eat we went back down to fetch Tamiley up.
We swapped about, Bob getting practice on the tiller in the locks and on the windlass. Tamiley is surprisingly nimble; at only around 40 feet and with a good 3-pot Perkins under the bonnet she responds well to the throttle and tiller. Bob did well too. Some people have the knack straight away, others have to work at acquiring it. He is one of the lucky ones!
Heading for the bottom of the Middlewich Locks yesterday.
The only picture I took all day!
He was solo, Anita having something to attend to, and I was surprised when he said he'd like to head on. They've got a mooring organised near Chester, and he wants to get there as soon as possible. So I sent him up Wardle Lock and we parted company at the top as he set off across the Middlewich Branch.
We got a text later; amazingly he was sitting with a pint in the Barbridge Inn, having gone all the way to the Shroppie main line. A good trip for an inexperienced boater travelling single handed!
This morning dawned grey and damp, much as forecast. We couldn't get away early anyway, I was waiting to collect something from Kings Lock Chandlery which didn't arrive till 11:30.
So we set off at around 11:45, down the wide, swan encrusted pound to Rumps Lock.
Looking back towards Middlewich
Luck was with us, a boat was leaving Rumps as we arrived and they'd left the gates open for us. Another arrived at the top as we rose, so we could return the favour!
Rumps Lock
There were several boats heading north, which meant that each of the four locks encountered today was empty, or very nearly so.
The widened bridge carrying Booth Lane catches a few folk out. The new section is square in profile, but the original span, at the far end, is still arched.
We had a couple of showers, but nothing particularly heavy. In between there were glimpses of the sun.
Booth Lane Locks
Alongside Lock 68 there's a new Taylor-Wimpey housing development being built. They've called it Albion Lock, although none of the locks bears that name. A little bit of artistic licence, I think. Booth Lane Middle Lock doesn't have the same ring to it…
Last one today, Booth Lane Top, or Rookery Lock
Why do people buy a boat then abandon it to sink on the lock landings?
Looking for lunch
A brave show of daffs near Moston
Arriving at Wheelock wharf we topped up the water tank then moved around the corner onto the 48 hour moorings.
Ahead is the start of the Cheshire Locks, 26 locks over 6½ miles taking the canal up to the summit at Kidsgrove.
We needed to be here; Meg had an appointment with the dog groomer, appropriately named Hair of the Dog. Lynn has done her before, but today wasn't available so she was left in the capable hands of Jo. I left them making friends and went next door to the large animal and pet food store in the old warehouse alongside the canal. Now Meg has a nice new squeaky toy for when she gets back to take her mind off the loss of hair…
Hi Alf. I guess we'd need a lot of speed and a large prop to bump-start a boat!
Thanks Sue, today it worked fine. I tried before reinstalling OLW and up it went. Odd, init.
Locks 8, miles 7 ½ (2 days)

Our dining room table was covered with a makings of a craft project, so we had a picnic at the coffee table in the living room.
Here's what is pictured above: wooden skewers, Catalina dressing (in the colorful bowls), spinach, mandarin oranges, ham, bananas, vanilla yogurt, mandarin oranges (again), pineapple, and marshmallows!
Now at this point I've probably lost you because all of that stuff together doesn't sound quite appetizing. Just stick it out a little longer!
We had like a pack of 100 skewers, but we each took two and kept reusing them.
Here's the first skewer we tried:
We paired the spinach, mandarin oranges, and ham together and dipped it in Catalina dressing! It was really yummy!
Our second skewer was a little sweeter:
We paired banana, mandarin oranges, pineapple, and marshmallows together and dipped it in vanilla yogurt! Again, it was really yummy!
We went back and forth between the two different ones. We even had to go back to the kitchen a few times for more ingredients! We definitely enjoyed our yummy, fun, and healthy lunch!
Can you tell he enjoyed it?
He decided to enjoy some of the left over yogurt!
What do you think? Do you like skewers? What do you like on yours?

DeLand Chamber installs officers
NEW OFFICERS — The DeLand Area Chamber of Commerce's officers for 2018 are sworn in by Mayor Bob Apgar (back to camera, right). From left are Joe Hearn, president; Hector de Jesus, president-elect; Keri Wagner, treasurer; Amanda Agnew, vice president; and Susie Dolan, immediate past president. Not pictured is Amanda McHugh Worrall, secretary, who was emceeing the event.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER — Former Sheriff Ben Johnson reminisced about growing up in DeLand, mentioning businesses and merchants who were key to the sense of community a half-century ago.
New leadership is in place for the DeLand Area Chamber of Commerce & Orange City Alliance.
At its annual meeting and installation event Jan. 22 at the Museum of Art - DeLand on North Woodland Boulevard, the 2018 officers and members of the board of directors took oaths of office administered by DeLand Mayor Bob Apgar.
The new officers are: Joe Hearn of Joe Hearn Events, president; Hector de Jesus, of Florida Hospital DeLand, president-elect; Amanda Agnew of State Farm Insurance, vice president; Keri Wagner of DaVita Labs, treasurer; and Amanda McHugh Worrall, the Chamber's interim executive director, secretary. The immediate past president is Susie Dolan of Waste Pro.
The 2018 directors are Suzanne Forbes, Amy Gipson, M. Scott Kelly, Brian Leatherman, Katie Mentor, Josh Poertner, Mark Russell and John Wanamaker.
Two special awards were presented: to Kitty Allen as Volunteer of the Year, and to Mark Russell as Committee Chair of the Year.
Dolan, the outgoing president, said 2017 was a busy year.
"Thanks to everyone," she said. "I couldn't have done it without help from a lot of people."
For his part, Hearn, the 2018 president, said he has been humbled by all the phone calls and emails offering help in the coming year.
One goal is to reinvent the Chamber, such as through a wider use of social media. The Chamber will be working with Stetson University to flush out that endeavor, Hearn said.
"We also want to do more this year to show you how to grow your businesses, and show you how to be more successful," Hearn said.
The keynote speaker was former Sheriff Ben Johnson, who reminisced about growing up in a small town in which "everybody knew everybody — and knew everybody's business."
Johnson talked about brick roads that were paved, businesses that are no longer here and the people who ran them, and antics he committed as a youngster.
"It was simple, a very simple life," he said.
When DeLand started to decline, Johnson noted, a group of merchants banded together several decades ago to bring it back to life, eventually producing what he called "the best downtown" that isn't averse to closing off major streets for parades, car shows and art festivals.
"That is just fantastic to me," he said.
And while the DeLand area is fortunate to have many natural resources, its best resource is its people.
"The biggest thing is having the heart of the people to make it all work," Johnson said. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for what you do for this community. Without you, we wouldn't have the beautiful DeLand, Florida, that we know and love."

After an active 2015, alliance looks ahead to next year
S.A. organization aiming to expand international business opportunitiesDecember 24, 2015
In a year after fighting for fast-track trade legislation and reauthorization of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, the Free Trade Alliance San Antonio will turn its attention in 2016 to fostering more local exports and pushing for additional Asian and European opportunities.
So says José Martinez, alliance CEO and president, who also said the alliance will seek clarification of its role in attracting foreign investments to San Antonio.
One of the group's main accomplishments of 2015 was the start of Grupo San Antonio, a breakfast event every two months in Mexico City in which Mexican business executives hear presentations from San Antonio organizations about commercial opportunities.
The breakfast is patterned after the alliance's longtime monthly Mexico Group breakfast meetings in San Antonio.
Grupo San Antonio so far attracts about 40 Mexican business executives at each breakfast. But a special breakfast featuring San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor in November attracted 110 people, Martinez said.
Organizations including Port San Antonio and Brooks City Base have made presentations at Grupo San Antonio meetings. The events are coordinated with the help of San Antonio's Casa San Antonio trade office in Mexico City.
"This works very well," Martinez said of the way the event creates business ties between Mexico City and San Antonio.
The alliance's International Business Development Center was as active as ever in 2015, too — more than 30 foreign companies are at the center now to get help entering the U.S. market, Martinez said.
During 2015, the alliance lobbied for trade promotion authority, which will allow Congress to vote up or down on new trade agreements without amendments.
In addition, after Congress allowed the charter for the Ex-Im Bank to expire on July 1, the alliance organized efforts to seek congressional reauthorization of the bank and its services of financing exports and imports and insuring shipments. Congress reauthorized the bank the first week in December and it reopened for business days later — although without the quorum needed to authorize big orders because of unfilled board seats.
Jim Carter, tax partner at San Antonio's Padgett Stratemann and Co., said his company had clients who suffered from the Ex-Im Bank's closure to new business for nearly six months.
"The damage is hard to quantify, but it clearly limited our exporters," Carter said.
Now that Ex-Im Bank is open for new business, a "company can export products with guarantees so that the transactions can be successful and that exporters can be assured they will be paid and realize profits on those transactions," Carter said.
Although Ex-Im Bank has won reauthorization and can start accepting new business, Martinez said the alliance favors further reforms, such as changing formulas so that the bank helps more small- and medium-sized companies.
"If we don't reform it, we'll lose it," Martinez said.
Still in the works going into 2016 are two trade agreements: the 12-member Trans-Pacific Partnership and the U.S.-Europe trade agreement known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
TPP has been negotiated and awaits U.S. congressional approval. But with environmental and labors groups opposed to TPP, along with some presidential candidates, congressional approval will not be easy, Martinez said.
"I don't think anything will happen before the presidential election. I hope and pray we can get it done. It will be a huge fight, and we'll be in it," Martinez said of the pact that would reduce tariffs and other trade barriers.
The U.S.-Europe trade agreement is still in negotiations with no clear timetable for concluding the talks.
Also on the agenda for 2016 is the alliance's quest to revive the Export Leaders Program once sponsored by the city — but with a new name and a new format.
Instead of classroom instruction, participating companies wanting to get in the export business would be given hands-on training by companies that already export, Martinez said. The alliance is seeking a sponsor for the program. The new name will be decided once a sponsor is found, he added.
As for foreign business investments, the alliance seeks clarification of its role. A new San Antonio export plan written with the help of the Washington-based Brookings Institution assigns foreign business investment dutiess to the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation.
But the alliance already has a contract with the foundation to recruit foreign companies and believes it can handle the role efficiently under the SAEDF umbrella, Martinez said. Further talks are scheduled between the alliance, the city and the foundation, he added.
Also in 2016, the alliance will work with Bexar County to recruit more automotive manufacturing investments to Texas and North Mexico, Martinez said.
Internally, the alliance, which is funded by private- and public-sector members, improved its working conditions in 2015.
The alliance raised money, originally planning to get its own building. But then it decided that was too expensive. So instead, the alliance spent the $650,000 it raised to expand and modernize its offices in the city's International Center at 203 S. St. Mary's St. downtown. The alliance has renewed its lease at the building for 10 years with a five-year option to renew, Martinez said.
Martinez said the new meeting space and renovated IBDC offices "are state-of-the-art facilities in which we can do business and showcase San Antonio."

After Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump released the details of his proposed tax reform plan, he was met with both praise and opposition from both sides of the fence.
But one stunning endorsement after the plan was made public could be exactly the kind of boost that Trump needed to win over the hearts and minds of those who aren't yet sold on his bold idea.
According to the Washington Examiner, Grover Norquist, America's fiercest anti-tax crusader and the founder of Americans for Tax Reform, gave the tax plan his blessing and touted it for its massive job creation potential.
Advertisement - story continues below
On Twitter, Norquist wrote, "The @realDonaldTrump tax plan cuts business tax from 35% to 15%. This makes us competitive worldwide. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs."
Trump's opponents, who in the past have spoken of their own tax plans, which include a flat tax, consumption tax and others, should probably start fleshing out the details, as it appears Trump is set for a big boost from revealing his version of how the American tax system should work.
"Trump's plan is certainly consistent with the Taxpayer Protection Pledge," Norquist said in a report. "Trump has said he opposes net tax hikes and has made clear that the real problem is spending. This plan is a reform, not a tax hike."
Advertisement - story continues below
Because of the reduction of tax brackets from seven to four, The Donald's plan appeals to a broad swath of voters, from business owners to low-income families who tend to cast their votes for the left come election time.
And the fact that it has the potential to create jobs would make it difficult to argue with for many, as it could be the vaccine America's sick labor force has needed for some time.
What do you think about Norquist endorsing Trump's tax plan? Sound off on Facebook and Twitter and let us know.

This program includes two free excursions. One is a boat excursion on the island of Šćedro and the second one is on top of Hvar Island.
The retreat will take place on Hvar Island, Croatia. It is widely believed that Hvar was named after the oldest form of the word "pharos", which was the name that the Greeks named their colony in 382 B.C. There have been Italian names for the island, such as Lesina.
Pension Marjan is located at the beach on the southern side of the Island of Hvar, in Zavala, across the islet Šćedro with a view over Korčula, surrounded by pebble beaches, olive gardens, and vineyards.
This part of the island is not like the city of Hvar, which offers a crazy night-life. There is only peace and quiet here. It offers satisfaction for the mind and the soul, relaxation that you need for the long winter days to come. With specialties from Hvar and a glass of authentic wine, everything else will not matter. Hvar offers a richness of nature which the locals turn into traditional home-made delicacies.
Daily full board vegan and organic meals are included in the prices. The private chef serves all day long so you can make a wish and it will be on the table.
The ferry port of Stari Grad is connected to Split and the journey time to Zavala is approximately 20 minutes. The road takes you through the beautiful south side of the island. There is a car park within the Pension Marjan. A gas station for cars and ships is located in Jelsa and Vrboska.
The port of Sućuraj is connected to Drvenik on the mainland and it is farther away from Zavala since it is located on the other side of the island. Nevertheless, this route saves time for tourists arriving from Dubrovnik, Mostar, Sarajevo, etc. There is a car park within the Pension Marjan. A gas station for cars and ships is located in Jelsa and Vrboska.
Please book your flight to arrive at Split Airport (SPU). Since 2015, a hydrofoil route connects Jelsa and Hvar to several Croatian tourist destinations. The benefit of traveling by hydrofoil is the proximity of the seaport to the Split Airport (SPU), from where you can fly to Hvar. Split Airport (SPU) is the closest airport to the island of Hvar.
There are shuttle buses to Split seaport with departure frequency of 20 minutes. If there is no direct flight from your destination to Split, you can arrange to fly with a layover in Zagreb Airport (ZAG), which is well-connected to Split.
The closest bus station is in Split right next to the ferry port. Split is well-connected to all bus routes. There are bus lines on the island of Hvar, e.g. daily departures between Zavala to Stari Grad and Jelsa, with tickets sold in the buses.
Hvar is well connected by ferry lines with the mainland within the region of Split including Split to Stari Grad, Drvenik to Sućuraj, and Split to Hvar. The summer sailing schedule is valid from May 31 to September 28. During the summer months, some ferry lines have more departures, which include hydrofoils.
Hvar is connected at the port Stari Grad through a coastal ferry line (three departures a week): Rijeka - Zadar- Split - Stari Grad - Korčula - Dubrovnik - Bari, as well as with the international high-speed daily ferry line Pescara - Stari Grad - Split, and the international ferry line (two departures a week) Ancona - Stari Grad - Split - Korčula. Jadrolinija is the main Croatian ferry company that connects most of the Croatian islands to the mainland by regular passenger and car ferry services along the Croatian coast. Catamaran routes between Italy and Hvar are available.
All the Croatian cities are well-connected by train except for Dubrovnik. Croatia has direct routes to Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Serbia, Montenegro, and indirectly to almost all European countries. The railway station closest to Hvar is in Split, right next to the bus station and ferry port.

- The Blue Honda (a.k.a Handy Smurf)
- The Gray Hyundai (a.k.a. The Shark)
- The Silver Toyota (a.k.a. The Silver Fox)
First you are thinking, How much do these sweet rides cost? You can use these rides for the amazing price of gas. (The boring, official answer…it is your responsibility to fill the car with gas after each use.)
Next you are thinking, Can I use these rides? What's the catch? Cars can be used for most liberal arts in practice experiences as long as you are an approved driver through security and meet with the LAPC Office Coordinator.
(The boring, official answer… Cars are available on a first-come, first served basis by prior reservation with the Liberal Arts in Practice Center Office Coordinator. Prior to first usage, all drivers must be registered with the college and approved by the Liberal Arts in Practice Center Office Coordinator.)
LAPC cars may be used by students, faculty, and staff for liberal arts in practice activities including (but not limited to) community-based learning activities, conferences, workshops, and professional development opportunities such as job interviews, internships, job shadowing and informational interviews.
LAPC cars may be used by students for transportation to sites within 1 hour from Beloit College as estimated by Google Maps. Trips to more distant locations require the participation of a faculty or staff member and prior consent from the Director of Community-Based Learning.

I was a young teenager when I had my amiga... all my money went into buying games and so forth. I pirated stuff too, but reality is I wouldnt have bought too many more games anyway, and I still bought all those games I really liked etc so no real harm done.
Now I buy all my games because I can, I earn good money and I cant be bothered playing that many games anyway so I just buy the ones I plan to play for a long time.

Original Vs Pirate
When we had our amiga computers, games were too expensive to buy. Allthough my dad had a few originals (Cannon Fodder 2, Syndicate) most of our games came from swapping copies with friends.
I don't feel guilty about using pirate software. Now that I'm earning, I can afford to buy some software, I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a game that I will enjoy playing. What I object to is overpriced software. I recently needed a copy of Microsoft (boo!!!) project. and over £400 its out of my price range, this made me think that; If software developers were to significantly lower their prices, and increase copyright protection, then there may be more of an equilibrium, where people have to buy originals, but are not being ripped off.

When I first got my Amiga 500 there was very little on the shelves anyway and I certainly had no access to pirate games. Over the next couple of years I spent an absolute fortune on games and software, and I've always liked to own the software I use.
One of the turning points for me though was when the shops started to refuse to allow you to return games just because you thought they were crap. Upto that point (probably 88/89) you could return a game with the reason that you didn't like it. Anyone else remember that ?
By the time I had an A4000, I had some mates that could get cracked copies of virtually anything and one of them got sent parcels of cracked software to distribute every week. I pretty much stopped buying software for the Amiga.

i think the reason game prices shot up is becuase the 8 bit games were coded by 1 man he used to do everything the gfx sound coding,the 16 bit games were made by a team 1 person did the coding another did the gfx another did the sound,all these guys need paying
i used to pirate so did nearly everyone i bought around 10 games on the amiga and ST
i never felt guilty about pirating i bought every single spectrum becuase they were cheap
i buy every pc game now because i can afford them and im too lazy to search for pirate pc sites that let u download games u always have to vote or some crap

Reticulator of Splines
Here's my 2E-2.
Back in the day, I was never into the Amiga "scene". I didn't know any crackers or have contacts in any groups. There were just a bunch of us at school / university that had Amigas through to about 1994.
I used to kind of obsessive-compulsively collect Amiga games no matter if I wanted to play them or not. I / we got the games from local rental shops, postal games rental clubs and, when we got to university and had fast access to this new "inter-net" thing, from ftp and fsp sitez. My mate was the mad downloader who would spend all day poking around the sites for new warez and download them to the uni servers. Then I would copy the archives to 1.44Mb floppies for transfer to bootable Amiga floppies via the swanky high-tech HD floppy drive hanging off my A1200. When we got hold of an actual original, I would sometimes crack it and spread it to our little group.
Did I play these games? Rarely. I wasn't that interested in the games, it was just about having them and they were easy to get. Very few of them ever got more than a quick "does it boot?" check before going into storage. The main entertainment for me came from cracking the originals, but occasionally a game would hold my attention and in these cases I felt duty bound to buy it. Games like Lemmings, Frontier and Alien Breed 3D for example. I also bought any "serious" software I used.
I ended up with about 1,500 disks of games. I dumped them about six years ago when I moved house, it was crazy to keep them, crazy to have them in the first place. The vast majority of them probably hadn't seen a floppy drive since 1994.
Do I feel bad about the cracking or the copying? A little, I guess. I don't think I did much harm as there was no way I was going to buy these games in the first place. If I couldn't have got them so easily I wouldn't have had them. The only harm to the Amiga software industry I would have done would have been from cracking the originals for our little group of 5 or 6 - there would be a slight possibility that that stopped one or two of us from buying one or two of those particular games. Total lost sales: approximatley 4; bill me.
Did piracy kill the Amiga? No. The death of Commodore and the subsequent prolonged and ill-fated takeover farces starved the platform of updated hardware for far too long and the users drifted away to shinier things. But for me it wasn't about the shiny but rather the ability to poke under it, so I stayed.
And I'm still here

I think we had about 3 copied Amiga games, Doodlebug, Mortal Kombat and Walker. We just bought almost all of our games, which means I still have quite a large collection They just seemed worth it...
And I still buy them now off Ebay

In my opinion, what killed the Amiga was Commodore's management screwups.. not keeping the Amiga hardware current enough which allowed the PC to take over.
Yes, I did pirate games, as many others did, but most of the time the disks were corrupt or had problems on my A1200 anyway. I seem to remember hacking into quite a few cracked games to fix A1200-related problems
The whole try-before-you-buy thing really works, and good demo's on coverdisks really helped with that. For example, I bought Hired Guns and Worms, solely because the coverdisk demo's impressed me so much. Hired Guns still does impress me, I've just managed to get a 100% cracked version onto my PC to play under WinUAE (I figure I'm allowed - I did buy the original after all!)
I actually remember a friend of mine taking the piss out of me because I bought hired guns. "You paid all that money when you couldve just got a pirate copy" he said. Two weeks later, he was asking me if he could copy my Disk 3 because his pirate version was corrupt... a week after that, he found the "THIS IS AN ILLEGAL COPY" trap in his saved games

I know Amiga got popular in the local computerclub where I was since most parents saw that not only it was a great machine for their kids, but that software was abundantly available at no extra price, unlike the Sega & other Jap console stuff that was around, which had the hidden price of paying a lot more than the console itself to keep your kids happy. So it was good for the Amiga there was piracy, it allowed to be accessible for most normal folks, so many 500s were sold that way.
And the more hardware is out there, the more chances a software company can sell more copies, despite being pirated a lot. Of course it can kill a company and it is theft, but I would feel more comfortable writing a game for a machine of which 100,000 are sold and is easy pirate-able then writing it for a console of which 5,000 are sold and is very hard to pirate.
Amiga for me was the logical next step after C64, and the copying of games was part of the "necessary tradition". Most games I would not even have bothered having/buying, unless I had them easily for free, moreover since I did not have the money to buy them (my parents bought the hardware for me). And in my local village, nowhere were Amiga software shops, you had to drive (=find a driver) to a city 20 miles away to see any $$$ Amiga-software shop. Magazines were the primary source of info of new games, not the shops... gee, imagine internet those days! (I never was in the BBS or cracker scene, so I had to find all out by friends and mags what was happening.
It was a nice period, and I only bought some productivity software and wrote some myself, but games were more like some 'freebie bonus' experience, the Amiga was much more interesting than just games for me. I did play a lot of different games to see what was new, but only a few attracted me enough to spend more than 30 minutes with it, and since I already had them at the moment of discovery, why bother go buy them afterwards? (and 99% of all my fave games were from 1987-1989 only!)
Oh well, I do not try to say piracy is ok, it is not and never will, but for most souls it was the only way to have cheap entertainment, are we now criminals who killed Amiga? No, I would have never bought one if I had to pay 25 quid for each floppy I wanted to boot.
Somewhat similar and related, the same is the case with Sattelite TV. Today I read an article on SAT TV providers who make first their encryption VERY hard to crack, but then unofficially leak their decryption codes months before switching to an uncrackable system, just to: a) sell their stock of old vulnerable decoders and, b) to create a public who will buy the subscription once they realize their pirate decoders are worthless when the new encryption system is in place, but saw enough during the previous months with the leaked decryption methods/keys to decide it is worth buying... Not a bad strategy I think...
Amiga died because the manufacturer stopped innovating, made a lot of costly mistakes (so all this nothing to do with piracy) and left their user base with nothing to re-motivate themselves, so they left bit by bit, seller & buyer, towards other platforms.

"of which 100,000 are sold and is easy pirate-able then writing it for a console of which 5,000 are sold and is very hard to pirate."
The problem is the description and the numbers...
"of which 10,000 are sold and is easy pirate-able than writing it for a console of which 200,000 are sold and requires hardware to pirate."
Multiply these numbers to get a picture of today's pc vs console market as well.

Well, one thing that most posters here show is that we all were kids when the Amiga was a popular machine. So, noone had the money to buy a lot of games at this time.
I was 15 when I bought my first Amiga 500, and naturally I got lots of copied stuff and could not afford to buy more than a few originals every year. Still, I did buy my most favorite games of the time, like Dungeon Master, some Magnetic Scrolls and Infocom games, Drakkhen, Populous, Genghis Kahn, F-16 Fighting Falcon and a few more.
And guess what? The most fun I had at that time was with the originals. I loved manuals and the gimmicks in the boxes.
I also did a very strange thing: I sometimes played through a game and AFTER that, often years later, I purchased the original. Strange, isn´t it?
I do think that the Amiga was hurt by piracy in the later years. First, pirated copies helped to sell the hardware and make the Amiga big. Later, pirated copies led to some very bad sales of software that would have been worth buying, like Lionheart, BC Kid or Fire & Ice. The software companies switched to more profitable machines, which in turn hit sales of the Amiga hardware.
Still, the reason why the Amiga died was ONLY due to Commodore getting bancrupt. I am just reading "On the Edge", a very interesting book revealing some nice information about Commodore. With Commodore intact and bringing newer Amigas to the shops, there would have been a good chance that the Amiga would be still a living machine today. And it was not the Amiga that killed Commodore, it were serious management errors. The Amiga had the potential to carry Commodore, like Apple could survive in the shadow of those shitty PC machines.
Anyway, today the Amiga is dead, and most ppl that still use it seem to be guys in their 30s that grew up with it. Ppl that understand that the Amiga certainly is something "special" :-).
And, btw, games of the kind that were written in the glory days of the Amiga are just not made anymore. I hate those crapppy 3D shooters, they just make me sick. I don´t play Alien Breed 3D on the Amiga as well. I do play newer PC games sometimes, but I also still enjoy playing those old Amiga classics these days. And I still buy old Amiga games that I solved 10 or more years ago :-).
I have completely abandoned pirated copies today, if I play a PC game I downwload the demo and if I like what I see I buy the original, but it makes a difference if you have 20 euros or 2,000 euros of disposable income every month...

Another thing that didn't help, is the fact that the Amiga used disks.
Today, I have bought quite a few PS2 originals, but I don't buy them at full price, I wait until they drop in price as an exchange game.
Cartridges and DVD's are relatively easy to check, a disk isn't.
Lots of things buggered up the Amiga, Commodore being the major factor.

10 Killed In Delhi Building Collapse
Ten people were killed and two injured on Saturday when an unsound four-story building collapsed in Delhi, reports India Today.
"Ten people, including five children and three women, have been killed in the building collapse, while two persons have been injured. Rescue operations are still on and debris is being removed," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Madhur Verma.
The two injured victims of the collapse were pulled from the debris and are now being treated at a local hospital. An additional 50 people were initially feared to be trapped under the debris of the 50-year-old building.
Authorities say they are investigating the incident. NDMC officials believe construction work occurring at an adjacent building may have contributed to the collapse.
"The building collapsed suddenly, according to statement of eyewitnesses," Fire and Rescue Services Joint Director S. Vijayasekar said.
