Theme & Amusement Parks in Carlisle
Recommended Theme & Amusement Parks by Groupon Customers
At Adventure Park USA, visitors amble, shriek, and laugh through a sprawling 17.5 acres replete with Old West–themed rides and attractions such as the Wildcat roller coaster, which dips and curves around a track in order to elicit screams of joy akin to Steven Tyler on Christmas morning. Outdoor diversions such as bumper boats and go-karts stoke competitive fires, and a collection of little tykes rides invite pintsize riders to spin in teacups or gallop on carousel horseback. Open year-round, a 22,000-square-foot indoor playzone thumbs its nose at inclement weather with laser tag, an arcade, a ropes course, and a climbing wall. Owner Larry Stottlemeyer continues to expand this already extensive list of family-friendly diversions.
Ultrazone Laser Tag might be familiar to fans of The Real World, whose cast members—fed up with drama—blew off steam by ducking colorful laser beams in the sprawling multilevel arena's fog-filled maze. There's enough space for 45 vest-clad players to face off at one time, and plasma monitors let the next wave watch the game as they eagerly await their turn. The expansive recreation center also hosts sleepover parties that grant exclusive overnight use of the laser-tag facilities, the plasma-screen theater, and the room that's inexplicably full of doorknobs. Outside the arena, an arcade keeps synapses ablaze with video games, air hockey, and golf simulators, supplemented with slices of Papa John's pizza from the cafe.
Fog floods the 6,000-square-foot arena as youngsters race behind glowing crates and walls to escape lasers, thus fulfilling the business's Active Play Active Kids philosophy of getting wee ones on their feet and keeping them moving. At the nine-hole indoor golf course, glow-in-the-dark games take place with the aid of illumined putters and firefly caddies. The laser maze's 30 crisscrossing beams put participants' coordination to the test as they navigate through, and the glowing Lightspace Play Floor accommodates up to four players trying to copy each others' dance moves. At the snack station, kids can recharge with pizza and nachos before challenging friends to air-hockey bouts in an arcade with more than 35 games.
Carlisle Sports Emporium is a 20-acre complex, which houses a new 6,800-square-foot laser-tag arena, multiple go-kart tracks, and two 18-hole miniature-golf courses. Flanking these three attractions is a roller rink where skaters can experience walking on wheels without having to stick their legs through two different cars' sunroofs. Visitors can also stretch their sinews on the computerized indoor climbing wall—which can simulate classic climbs such as El Capitan or Devil's Tower—or hone their hand-eye coordination in an arcade with more than 100 games.
Drivers rev their engines across three separate raceways at The Go-Kart Track, where thrill seekers can split their time between high-speed chases and rounds of mini golf. The family-oriented entertainment center's three distinct go-kart tracks cater to drivers young and old. The junior track safeguards youngsters with an automatic braking system every time they release the gas pedal, and the family track lets people ride shotgun in double-seater cars. Finally, the drift track—coated in a special powder—allows drivers 54 inches and taller to slip and slide around turns, drifting like their favorite racecar driver or continent. Aside from its automotive pursuits, The Go-Kart track features a mini-golf course with nine professionally designed holes peppered with obstacles such as cacti and tires.
That Bounce Place enthralls energetic tykes with more than 13,000 square feet of space brimming with bouncy attractions and abundant games and activities. Feet shielded by mandatory socks launch into the air on bouncers, obstacle courses challenge puzzle-solving capacities, and a massive inflatable slide challenges Olympic luge records. A big-screen television broadcasts favorite shows, an air-hockey table officiates competitions with puck-smacking peers, and complimentary WiFi enables guardians to relax while their children play. An exclusive toddler arena opens the gates to its age-appropriate toys only for those who know the secret abridged version of the ABCs. That Bounce Place's party packages simplify birthday planning with perks such as time in a private room, party supplies, and pizza.

Ohio State football ticket prices likely to rise
COLUMBUS, Ohio — It'll likely cost most fans $9 more to watch their beloved Buckeyes this fall.
Ohio State's Athletic Council will recommend on Friday to the board of trustees that football ticket prices should be raised from $70 to $79 starting this fall. Also, two home games a year may be designated as premium games, with higher ticket prices.
Athletic director Gene Smith confirmed the proposed changes on Wednesday. The proposed increases would help fill in a gap in the athletic budget because there are only seven home football games in upcoming years.
The cost of faculty tickets ($54) and student tickets ($32) will also likely rise along with greens fees at the university's golf courses, but no price has been set.
The board of trustees meets Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.

Gov. Corbett, in Speech, Backs Efforts to Save 911th Airlift Wing
The Pennsylvania governor speaks at the Moon Township-based air wing, urging military officials to scrap plans to shutter the base.
Standing beneath the wings of a C-130 aircraft at the 911th Airlift Wing, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said he would work with Pennsylvania's federal lawmakers to fight renewed plans to close the Moon Township air base. Corbett, appearing alongside Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, and state Sen. Matt Smith, D-Mt. Lebanon, implored military officials and federal lawmakers to end efforts to close the 911th as a cost-saving measure. "I'm going to ask our (Pennsylvania) congressional delegation to do whatever they need to do to save this base," Corbett said. The U.S. Air Force has again taken initial steps toward closing the airlift wing after March 2013— after the expiration of a law put…

He certainly wasn't yesterday but I think a lot of that can be laid at the feet of your OL and OC.
Why does this thread topic continue on and on and on.
Surely it is time to retire it.
I think everyone is banged up and the break came just in time. Writing this I must say the defensive coach is a joke and only if NE would have kept him we may have got our old defensive coach back, instead Atlanta got him. To bad but the Ravens are not dead, I can recall a game in SD where the Ravens were also written off, look what they did the next few games.
I think it is very useful. We don't have 10 threads like we have on the National page about one subject. Mom hardly ever comes on this board so we actually have fair minded mods. They will merge threads that are the same and have a hidden agenda to them. There is usually no hate over here and Joe Flacco is actually a thread that could lead to 25 threads all about the same thing. So love him or hate him.... this thread is about Flacco and how he does week in and week out. It is also nice to see how some that are against Flacco can at times give him credit.
Joe will be Cool Joe once again this Sunday
I can't believe Joe was so good at the start of the game, 10 for 10 and 14 points scored on a pretty good Cleveland defense. Than Cam instead of taking a run here and there to close out the last 1 min 40 seconds of the half he goes pass crazy, gives the ball back and Cleveland scores. Well Cam Joe went sour for the next quarter and a half, no adjustments at half and lucky for the Ravens Joe got hot again. At one time only 1 first down until the final 5 minutes in the 4th quarter. I think Harbs said something to him on this matter as well.
Time once again to see Joe as the real deal. Go Ravens
Time to run the ball 25-30 times and limit Flacco to play action passes in the short and intermediate range. Time to move the chains, control the clock and keep that lumbering defense on the side line. If Flacco can do that and avoid turnovers, he'll be a shining star in my eyes.
21 of 33 for 341 yards (16.2 yds. per completion)...
3 TD passes and one TD rush (1 int, no sacks and no fumbles)
Passer rating of 115.8
Only QB of top 6 (in passing yardage) who won today (including Ryan and Palmer).
I won't say the "E" word (because I still don't know what the term "elite" means) but I will say the "W" word - Winner!
Amazing what Joe can do when he actually HAS an O-line and a pocket, the WRs hold onto the ball (for the most part), and the scheme is varied and effective. I still maintain that NO other QB in the NFL could even accomplish what Joe has done with the crap hand he's dealt most of the time.
Easy there OCF, it was the Oakland Raiders we beat yesterday. Joe had a fine game to be sure, BUT the level of competition was quite poor.
Nevertheless, you play the teams on your schedule and they took care of business.
We can really make a statement by coming out crisp next week on the road in Prime Time. Eyes will be on us and the pressure will be on.
What are you talking about? I'm glad we won! Every facet of the team played well. Playing well AT HOME against piss poor teams isn't our problem, OCF. You know that. Pardon me if I'm not going to get all giddy about yesterday like some sort of child. Yeah - I want to see the type of play when the pressure is on. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Flacco was VERY good yesterday and it was great to see. As usual, his best throws were in play action and that's because the Ravens ran the ball 28 times and kept Oakland's back seven off balance. They're average per rush wasn't good but the important thing was they didn't give up on it. Maybe against the Raiders it wouldn't have mattered in the end anyway but going into Pittsburgh, it's the perfect mind set. I think Cameron is slowly but surely realizing that.
just want to point out the Ravens haven't lost in Pittsburgh since the 2009 season...I'm pretty sure Flacco was the quarterback during that time....some people complain just to complain...
and just to point more of the obvious...the Ravens were not a very good road team either year....

USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - USF fans had a chance to catch a Major League Baseball game at a discounted price and show off some school spirit in the process.
The fifth annual USF Night With the Rays took place on Saturday night as the Tampa Bay Rays hosted the Baltimore Orioles at Tropicana Field. The game started off in USF fashion when former Bulls defensive back Anthony Henry threw out the first pitch. Henry was a part of USF's first football team and went on to play nine seasons in the NFL before becoming a part of the USF Athletics Hall of Fame.
Unfortunately, the Rays fell to the Orioles, 4-0, but Bulls fans had an opportunity to gather and enjoy a wonderful evening thanks to our friends in the Bay.

Furnace filters are also basically priced in three stages: cheap, not-so-cheap and moderately expensive. The cheap filters are about $1 and you change them every month without fail. If you forget, they'll clog up fast. The not-so-cheap filters should be changed every three months or so.
As for the moderately expensive filters, the experts say they're the way to go. You don't have to change them as often as the not-so-cheap filter, and they block a lot more dust and dirt. You'll find in the long run, your furnace won't have to work as hard to heat the house.
Work. Oh, that four-letter word. The next tip involves work. Sorry. But it's still super-easy ...
No. 2: Install a door sweep
Once upon a time, the bottom of a dunce's door had about 1/16th of an inch of light shining through. The dunce, not to be confused with the writer of this article, decided he would do something about it.
In the dunce's basement was weather stripping for the bottom of a door. In more common vernacular, a door sweep. The dunce, however, let it sit there for about 15 years before he touched it. He thought it would be really hard to install. What a dunce.
He took the slim strip of plastic out of its paper container and went upstairs. He went to the front door and measured. He cut the strip the proper length, removed the backing to reveal the adhesive strip -- and stuck it to the bottom of the door. The act took about 30 seconds, and the bottom of the door suddenly didn't have expensive hot air whistling outside!
When the dunces' bride heard about this, she said: "You waited 15 years to do something so simple? Why?"
Whatever. OK, time to deliver our fifth and final tip ... one that will electrify you ...

Our felucca trip was wonderful! We can thoroughly recommend our boatman, Osama, and crew, for future groups. Osama unexpectedly spoke terrific English, and his crew a smattering. It would have been an entirely different experience if we had not been able to chat with Osama, particularly as we were not with other travellers. He could not do enough for us, and went to ENORMOUS lengths for a member of my party's 60th birthday, decorating the felucca with balloons, buying beer for us, cooking a special meal and somehow tracking down a birthday cake. And what a cake - a confection of fruit, chocolate, cream, sponge, candles, sparklers and jelly!!
We drove to the Valley of the Queens to visit Hatshepsuts mortuary temple. Even though it was only about 0830 in the morning it was already incredibly hot. We had a briefing from Mohammed and then chose to explore on our own, meeting him afterwards for a quick coffee. ( the benefits of 'Tailormade'!). We then moved on to 2 of the Tombs of the Nobles, afterwards we went on to Karnak Temple, where there were very few tourists. The Hypostyle Hall was deserted and we felt like extras in Agatha Christie's 'Death on the Nile' - it was so atmospheric! We got to Luxor Temple in time for sunset, and got some great night-time photos.
We were provided with blankets, not sleeping bags so were very pleased we had taken our own sheet sleeping-bags; we have silk ones which take up very little space and keep the mosquitoes off if its too warm for blankets or sleeping bags. The other things we would recommend would be earplugs and airline-style eyemask for sleeping, deet (though we had hardly any mosquitoes), tissues and hand-gel. It might also be worth mentioning how much people are likely to spend in tips, it was by far our biggest expense.
What else can I say? We feel your itinerary packed a lot in compared to published tours; thank you for making the most of our time!

Two years and some change (or, depending on who you ask, nearly three years and NO change) into his presidency, Barack Obama's policies have upset and disappointed me. I had high hopes for a President who had spent so much of his youth abroad, who was brilliant and refined, an elegant and unapologetic intellectual. In spite of Obama's initially robust and repeated promises, my government is still heavily embroiled in simultaneous wars for profit in the Middle East and only recently began military pull-out in Iraq. Military drone strikes – part of the increasingly nebulous Bush Administration legacy dubbed the"War on Terror" – continue in Pakistan, killing civilians and allies. Guantanamo Bay is still open, and doesn't appear to show any serious signs of closing, either.
I have watched the president I helped vote into office soft-pedal domestic issues like increased border security, tighter immigration restraints, and basic social services for undocumented immigrants, all in the name of reaching out to an ever-obstinant group of conservatives. A group who had decided in November 2008 that he could do no right, and stood aside as their supporters proclaimed Obama a chimera of a bogeyman: closet socialist, fascist, and a Nazi. I have watched blatant and arguably racist acts of disrespect aimed at Obama take place on the Congressional floor. I have watched as Sarah Palin stepped down early from her governance post in the midst of a national economic crisis, and trotted around the country with the Tea Partiers, openly admonishing the President to "do your job." I have watched with frustration and growing anger as Obama, seemingly in the name of diplomacy and "getting along", pandered to folks who didn't vote for him the first time around, and absolutely will not be doing so in 2012. I know what it is to feel at least a little let down by the President, a man whose mind I so admire. Simply put, I voted for his brain. (Want more? Sure, ya do! Go here and read the rest.)

Everyone paying any attention to security this week noted Mandiant's report on the Comment Crew. If you haven't, go read it first. I'll wait.
Although I work for a competitor[1], I believe Mandiant did the right thing here. Others may disagree to an extent for good reasons, while others simply went too far in their assumptions and criticisms. (And some folks just need to take off the tinfoil hats). I don't really care that much about what makes the sekrit skwirl cabal happy, and in fact it tickles me when they get frustrated by "outsiders" (inasmuch as Mandiant is one, anyway) not playing by their rules. In any case, healthy skepticism regarding someone else's conclusions keeps them honest, but don't miss the big picture out of myopia. The relative prevalence of espionage and APT relative to regular criminal activity remains an open research question and a valid area of debate, but I've seen some really smart people this week falling into the cliché of missing the forest for the trees.
Instead, this means the adversary can't dictate the pace and terms of the conflict, whether or not they completely retool. By driving up the cost to the attacker over time, you start to make headway. That works both ways, of course, and at the moment that balance leans decidedly in their favor. Releasing the IOCs will also allow defenders to discover additional compromises. Remember that opponents make mistakes, and so we can capitalize on the opportunity for ongoing intel gathering as they transition to new infrastructure (assuming they even bother).
Sharing information has more than just tactical value. In my view (obviously not one shared by Congress), this points out that we don't need the government to get in the way with CISPA or other information-sharing that stays behind walls of overclassification or possibly creates additional privacy and civil rights issues. We can do this the right way and improve things. Partisan politics lies way outside the scope of this blog, but I certainly see this as "we're from the government and we're here to help" territory.
[1]: As usual, these represent my opinions only. And that's only good for today anyway because I may change my mind as new facts come to light or I think about topics more thoroughly.

Funeral services took place today for a Baltimore City Police officer who was injured in an accident back in February.
Hundreds packed the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen to remember Officer Forrest "Dino" Taylor.
Taylor died last Wednesday from injuries he suffered in an accident on February 18.
The crash occurred in the 600-block of Guilford Avenue. He was responding to an incident, backing up a fellow officer, when his car collided with a SUV.
Taylor was a 17-year veteran officer, and is survived by a wife and two children.
He was buried at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Annapolis.
