What were 5 things you wish you knew as a senior in high school?
I am just now a rising senior in high school. I have too many questions to ask and not many answers, but I realize now that I am at a golden opportunity (not many responsibilities) in my life to make big changes and preparations for a successful life in the future. How can we avid teenagers reasy to take on the future better prepare for life?
My love life has been less than exciting. Despite putting in an inordinate amount of effort, I have, only this year gotten my first kiss, an endeavor which ultimately ended the first inklet of a relationship I ever had.
I have taken many leadership roles for clubs and a nonprofit organization that is working on a penpal program between China and the US.
I enjoy investing and learning about the stock market.
I play tennis and rock climb.
I enjoy Photography and Videography.
I enjoy hanging out with my friends.
The point of this whole description really was to express the diversity of my interests-- and presumably the diversity of everyone's interests--and to express my dilemma. Where should I focus my attention to best prepare me for the future? What five things that you know now looking back would you tell me? What five things do you regret doing or not doing looking back? Which aspects of your life do you wish you had focused on?

Spencer HillJun 22 2013: 1. Be yourself. Everyone at high school is scared to be unique and not fit in. The funny thing is everybody just wants to be themselves. Be yourself, embrace those that are and try to be, sooner or later you will have a trend.
2. Boyfriends & Girlfriends. Make friends with people you are interested in. Find out if you have the same common likes and interests. If you are friends first, all the other good stuff follows because there is a trust factor.
3. Explore your interests--try selling your photography, try investing, videograph someones wedding or special event. Do not let age, money, or peer pressure keep you from trying things you want to do. Be focused on what you want, you will find the necessary finance and support to do it.
4. Build your friendships and make memories this year. My high school friends are closer than my college friends, even though I spent more time with my college friends. I communicate more with my hs friends now (30 yrs later). I can't even remember some of my college roommates names to look them up (some I don't care to).
5. learn Kipling's IF poem- use it as a benchmark to measure your actions by. There are no greater words of advice that anyone can give than what is contained in that poem.

text: Trinity Baptist College has been accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools since 1997. In 2002 they received accreditation for 10 years requiring the college to seek reaffirmation in 2012. The process of gaining reaffirmation began in March 2011. An initial plan was submitted and approved and then the work began! A steering committee composed of administrative, faculty, staff, alumni, trustee, and student representatives oversaw the process. A variety of sub committees composed of representatives of those same groups carefully examined every area of the college from academics to student life to facilities to institutional effectiveness. Their reports were combined into a self study document with supporting documentation (over 4,000 pages long!) which was submitted to the commission. After its acceptance a team of five educators and a TRACS representative visited campus for several days last April. They met and interviewed a variety of students, alumni, faculty and staff. Their report at the end of the week provided TBC with recommendations of areas that could be improved. These recommendations are aimed at helping TBC improve the overall college experience of its students. TBC responded to the report in August showing compliance with a majority of the recommendations and indicating that the others were in progress. On November 6, 2012 President Mac Heavener and Senior Vice PResident Matt Beemer met with the commission and answered additional questions. Following that time the commission voted to approve TBC for Reaffirmation II status for a period of ten years. The college will continue to work on recommendations while it seeks to improve the student experience.

Avalanche buries Montana home, 3 rescued
Missoula, MT, United States (4E) – A couple and an 8-year-old boy remained hospitalized on Saturday for treatment of injuries they suffered when an avalanche crashed into their home in Rattlesnake Valley, Missoula, Montana the day before.
Fred Allendorf, 66, is in serious condition while Michel Jo Colville, 68, remains in critical condition at the St. Patrick Hospital, according to hospital spokesperson Joanne Hoven. Phoenix Scoles, 8, improved to fair condition from critical.
Neighbors and firefighters dug up the three about three hours after the avalanche from Mount Jumbo crashed into Allendorf's house at the base of a hill. The couple was inside the house while the kid was playing outside when snow plowed the house about 50 feet into the intersection of Holly and Harrison streets.
Witnesses said a snowboarder was walking down Mount Jumbo and likely triggered the avalanche that also caused wires from a power line to fall in the middle of the runout zone.
The survivors breathed in air pockets until they were found, according to rescuers.
Meanwhile, two skiers who were reported lost on Friday afternoon while skiing on the backside of Montana Snowbowl were found unharmed at 10:30 a.m. Saturday by Missoula County Search and Rescue.
Searchers were able to make contact with the skiers by cell phone about 8:15 a.m. Saturday before finding them later.
The skiers, whose names were not revealed, called 911 on Friday 5:30 p.m. and their friend called police 20 minutes later.

Styrofoam dancing question.
View Single Post
Feb22-07, 10:25 AM
HW Helper
According to my knowledge the sheet should charge up negative. Since the plastic is not conductive the charge on it cannot wander around. This means that some regions might get charged up more than others and some may recieve no charge at all. The electric field generated by the sheet is therefore most likely nonuniform. This electric field will induce regions of irregular charge distribution on the tray (think of the charge on the tray as being kept there [frozen] by the electric field produced by the sheet).
Question 1:
"Will this charge be of the same (negative) or opposite charge as than on the sheet?"
Question 2:
"How will this charge on the tray influence the stryrofoam pieces resting on it considering the fact that styrofoam is also nonconductive?"
Question 4:
"What effect will the irregular charge distribution on the tray have on the stryrofoam pieces?"
Question 5:
"Can the electric field induce an irregular charge distribution on the styrofoam pieces since some parts of the stryrofoam is closer to the sheet than others?"
Question 6:
"Under what circumstances do you think that two nonconductive objects can exert electrostatic forces on each other?"

A man shot dead by a St. Petersburg police officer Monday night had a long history of mental illness, the department said Tuesday.
Kenneth Robert Sprankle, 27, had been held under the state's Baker Act seven times since March of this year, police said.
"The officer made several attempts at gun point to drop the weapon and point it down," said Mike Puetz with the Saint Petersburg Police Department.
Sprankle was walking through downtown carrying an ax and threatening people, witnesses said.
"No he is not a threat. I could have taken the ax from him by myself," said a homeless man identifying himself as Fatboy.
Surveillance video obtained by FOX 13's Kim Kuizon showed Sprankle walking down the sidewalk with the ax, with several people following him.
A day later, the scene is clear, but what isn't clear to his friends is why he was killed.
"They should have tased him, pepper sprayed him, anything but shoot him in the chest four or five times," said a man named Levi.
But police say, in cases where a weapon is involved, stun guns are not an option.
"Taser is not 100 percent effective, especially in a case where you have to get very close to that person," Puetz said.
His friends said the argument started after his lighter was stolen. Police haven't confirmed that, but they can confirm before wielding the ax, he had been smoking Spice, a synthetic drug.
"It seemed like after that he consumed that he started to get more agitated and upset," Puetz said.
Police said Sprankle stole the ax from a St. Petersburg Fire Department truck that was responding to a call downtown on Saturday.
Officer Damien Schmidt, 55, is now on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

Care and Commitment: Taking the Personal Point of View
by Jeffrey Blustein
Care and Commitment is the best work to come out of the ethics of care vicinity. Rather than claim care, deontology, and consequentialism are constantly at odds, as some do, Blustein attempts a three-way dovetail. The dovetail does not always succeed, but Bluestein delivers many good and fascinating ideas, arguing that we should value individuals for more than their status, talents or what they can do for us.
The author covers what caring is and is not. Quoth Annette Baier, �A [sometimes] reliable sign of caring is the intolerance of ignorance about the current state of what we care about.� Blustein sees caring as being moved to do something that affects the thing we care about.
There are, he points out, advantages in not caring. Not caring protects us from the anxieties and other problems arising when care is misplaced, excessive or leads to other disasters. Caring in the wrong ways wrecks integrity--not to mention character. Yet to not care, strips life of uniquely human qualities. A splendid section covers the depression suffered by J.S. Mill when Mill no longer cared about his goals. Blustein explains how we can learn to care more on a metalevel�caring about caring.
Blustein claims we are often mistaken about how much we care and how much we care about a thing compared to other things. We may think we care more about romance than football, but the opposite may be the case, especially if we take a look at receipts and time spent.
A splendid section discusses Harry Frankfurt�s ideas on wantonness. Non-wantons often think about their motivations, selecting and rejecting motivations. They choose desires and can choose to act in opposition to their desires. They can identify with a desire so that the desire resounds within them. (Change what you want? What a strange concept in the world of �I want what I want and there is no changing my mind.� Heaven forbid that anyone should develop a new interest for reasons other than or in addition to impulse or entertainment.)
Wantons, he writes, are unable or unwilling to know their motivations, not caring which desires are strongest. They act on whichever desire is strongest. Wantons are limited. Various desires compete and take hold of them.
Constantly losing interest, being easily distracted without thinking about the losses caused by being distracted or not thinking where interest should be directed are wanton behaviors. Those who reason and carefully choose their actions and desires but do not do what they believe they should do are not wantons. They are weak-willed.
The section on integrity and self-transformation argues that we should often re-evaluate, find better commitments, and get rid of misplaced guilt. �Keeping my options open� is sometimes code for making halfhearted efforts toward the options I supposedly committed to. Never doing more than toying with life roles is a disgrace to myself. We should make worthy commitments despite uncertainty.
Bluestein argues for limited propinquity (meaning paying more attention to situations close to us and not interfering in distant situations we know nothing about). We should, however, interfere in far away situations�my species, my planet, and my universe--when we know what we are doing.
He proposes that major commitments to nearby humans are important for developing identity, integrity and a sense of being valuable and needed. We have better knowledge of what would benefit or harm those closest to us than those farthest from us, no matter how much information flows through the Internet. (We have better knowledge of what treatment those closest to us deserve also.) Some humans can function with zero propinquity--they can treat a stranger 5,000 miles away the same way they treat their siblings--but most of us cannot function without close attachments. If zero propinquity were always the rule for all individuals, we would end up with a society of broken down individuals.
Those who understand what benefits intimates are, allegedly, better able to understand what benefits strangers. In proper doses close relationships may encourage general compassion and connectedness--more than permanent disconnection accomplishes.
This is a complex work with dense text, not for the faint of mind. The sections on wantonness and the importance of caring are terrific. Recommended. 273p (C) 1991 �������

Gretta Harley arrived in Seattle in 1990, when grunge was redefining the city. Bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were turning Seattle into the epicenter of the music world. Harley was a punk rock guitarist searching for her tribe, and in Seattle's thriving music scene, she found it.
"I lived in a house with a bunch of other musicians," Harley says. "And The Screaming Trees lived across the street, Gus Huffer lived around the corner, and Gorilla lived around the corner." While living in close proximity to so many popular Northwestern bands, Harley soon co-founded her own. She and Tess. Lotta formed Maxi Badd, which later became the Danger Gens. Almost 25 years on, Harley is still in music. She teaches and she performs as half of the duo "We Are Golden" with singer Sarah Rudinoff.
Two years ago, Rudinoff and Harley went to a songwriting retreat and got an idea: not for a song, but for a play. Harley wanted to address a question that hit close to home: "How does a woman in her 40s still create with a passion in a world that is largely held by the young?"
Harley and Rudinoff also wanted to address the disconnect between the history they had lived and the histories they saw written. In 2011, the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind sparked numerous tributes to the grunge era that didn't capture the Seattle music community they remembered. "We started looking," Harley says, "at the books that were written by different authors, and the women were absent, almost completely absent. And we thought, 'Wow, this is a story that really hasn't happened yet.'"
So Harley and Rudinoff set out to tell that story. They starting talking to women who'd been part of Seattle's rock community, and eventually videotaped more than 30 conversations with women like Valerie Agnew and Elizabeth Davis, the drummer and the bassist for the band 7 Year Bitch. Davis and Agnew recall that the female musicians of the Pacific Northwest were far from invisible, especially when they toured Europe. Their promotion was a little inaccurate, though: Show posters would advertise them as "the godmothers of Riot Grrls," even though the Riot Grrl movement got its start 60 miles south of Seattle, in Olympia, and many of the Seattle women say they were more into music than Riot Grrl feminism.
Using the oral histories they gathered, Harley and Rudinoff created the play These Streets. While the plot is fictional, the play draws on the real experiences of the women who shared their memories, including Amy Stolzenbach. Other women in the project identified Stolzenbach as one of the best musicians of the era; she played guitar in a number of bands, including the all-female AC/DC cover band Hell's Belles. She says most of Seattle's male musicians were supportive of their female bandmates, although there were the occasional jerks. Some of those jerks are represented in the play, as in this monologue:
"I had a band in 6th grade, and our drummer was this guy at school, Joey Akimpura. We started learning how to play Peter Frampton, Queen, it was great. Then I went over to Joey's house one day, and saw our band photo. I wasn't in it. I never heard about the photo shoot, and I was like, what is this? Joey said, this is our band, and you can't be in it. And I was like, what are you talking about? And he said, 'No girls allowed,' and I thought, 'Oh yeah?'"
Twenty years later, those attitudes linger in the music industry, according to hip-hop artist Hollis Wong-Wear. In These Streets, Wong-Wear plays the younger version of one of Seattle's rockers of yore. In real life, she just finished a tour with one of the nation's top acts, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Although Wong-Wear feels like she's had a lot of opportunities, she says women still have to prove themselves: "There's not enough women for us to feel like it's normal for them to rise due to their talent and what they have to say."
While Wong-Wear plays a younger rocker in These Streets, 50-year-old Harley essentially plays herself: She fronts the band that's onstage for the entire production. "There's a power that comes from turning on the amp and getting that real loud sound and screaming it over the mike," she says. "It's an incredible source of power."
While that may be true, Stolzenbach says she's kind of relieved the rock musician phase of her life is over. "When I look back with the wisdom that I have now, I'm kind of glad I never quote-unquote made it," she says. "At the time, there was heartache, because I wasn't making it, and I wanted that more than anything. But, you know, when you stop fighting and follow that path of least resistance, you can still use your talents, you can still have this really productive career, and have everything else that goes along with having a life."
The oral histories Harley and Rudinoff collected will be archived at the University of Washington. Meanwhile, These Streets is taking those stories to the stage; the play opened last Friday in Seattle.

Are Disney MagicBand privacy concerns legit?
Written by Robert Niles
Are you worried about your privacy while wearing a MagicBand around the Walt Disney World Resort?Tweet
Photo courtesy Disney
Some visitors — and would-be visitors — have expressed concern. They're worried that Disney will be tracking their movements around the park, including what they do and what they buy throughout the day, and that Disney could use that information in ways that those visitors won't like.
MagicBands are the RFID-enabled bracelets that Disney's issuing to selected hotel guests as part of its new MyMagic+ system for managing Walt Disney World vacations. Visitors can use the MyMagic+ section of Disney's website or apps to make advance reservations for attractions, shows, and restaurants during their stay at Disney World, then use the MagicBands Disney supplies to access their hotel room, enter the theme parks or be admitted to their reserved ride, show, and meal times.
Visitors tap their MagicBands on their hotel room door or at checkpoints at park and attraction entrances. But the RFID chips in each MagicBand can be read from up to 30 feet away as well, as Kevin Yee detailed this week. Disney's already using that functionality to take on-ride pictures of MagicBand users on selected attractions. But inside sources have told us that the technology will play a part in creating interactive "moments" elsewhere in the parks, such as in Animal Kingdom's Avatar land, now in development.
Disney had planned to have expanded MyMagic+ to more visitors by now, but bugs and glitches as Disney attempts to scale up the system have slowed the roll-out. Yet it's clear from Disney's statements that it envisions more aggressive use of MagicBands in the future.
Let's face it: If Disney didn't track its customers while they were on company property, that would put Disney in the minority of large retail corporations. Smile for the security cameras next time you enter a store — they're there. And those discount cards you get from the grocery and other retailers? They're tracking every purchase you make.
Heck, when you carry a Visa or Mastercard credit card, you might as well be wearing a GPS device, as the card issuer is tracking the location of your payments, as well as their amounts. If you're carrying a cell phone, you are carrying a GPS device — one that cell carriers (and even the federal government) have the ability to track.
Want to go through life without being tracked? Use cash. Ditch the cell phone, the credit cards, and the discount "club" cards and carry nothing but cash. Walk up to the ticket booth and pay cash for a one-day, one-park ticket. As soon as you're through the front gate, throw that ticket away. Disney won't know who you are and won't be able to track anything you do.
Of course, that means you won't be able to use the Fastpass system for ride reservations. Nor will you be able to park-hop. Photopass pictures are out, too. But Disney will collect no data about your whereabouts and activities throughout the day, save for noting that one more (anonymous) person's ridden each ride you board, or that the company made those extra dollars for the stuff you've bought.
Most visitors, though, would like to have the opportunity to reserve no-wait ride times. Or to get on-ride photos automatically. (Or to get discounts when they go to the grocery store.) Such benefits are the price that companies pay to entice us to use systems that allow those companies to track us. Companies make that money back when their tracking efforts lead them to tailor offers or experiences that cause us to spend more money with those companies than we would have without those deals and discounts. In fact, Disney's facing lower-than-planned revenue in its theme park division now because MyMagic+ hasn't rolled out to the point where it's led to the big increases in guest spending that the company had anticipated.
If customers don't like the benefits of participating in a tracking system, they won't stick with them. Right now, the hassles of navigating MyMagic+ in beta testing have led many Disney hotel guests either to decline to participate, or to switch back to more traditional admission and room key cards, plus paper Fastpasses. But reports from in the parks suggest that's more due to people being unable to collect the benefits of MyMagic+ due to lost reservation times or dysfunctional MagicBands than to privacy concerns.
Let's not completely dismiss those concerns, though. While corporate tracking of consumer activity has become the norm in America, consumers ought to know more about who else will have access to that tracking data. We've raised concerns before about Disney cast members using MyMagic+ data as a "stalking app" to find out where individual guests they want to meet will be later in the day, then showing up off the clock to "just happen to bump into them." Disney should be making clear that anyone who tries something like that will be fired on the spot.
We've also wondered if Disney could use MagicBands to track alcohol sales more closely. Imagine getting cut off at Epcot because MyMagic+ has recorded that you've bought enough alcohol over the past couple hours to get an average-sized person to his legal limit. One of the challenges for tracking system is to ensure they don't feel creepy to the people who use them. While cutting off a drunk might be good practice (one that servers are supposed to be doing already), have a computer make that call automatically probably fails the "creepiness" test for many visitors.
Throw such concerns onto the pile of bugs, glitches, and challenges that Disney must overcome to make MyMagic+ scale to the level where it earns the company enough money to justify the billion-dollar investment. But if Disney fans and visitors object to the idea of Disney tracking their activity while on Disney property, well, they're going to have to do much more than refuse to wear a MagicBand to prevent Disney and other companies from tracking where they go and what they do.
Readers' Opinions
From Tracy Bates on December 4, 2013 at 4:08 PM
Like you said. Privacy died a long long time ago.
From Joseph Machado on December 4, 2013 at 4:40 PM
I agree that privacy has gone away a long time ago. The concern I would have is Disney's ability to ensure the system is not compromised to outside sources. I do not mind if Disney uses the information to help make my stay there better however with all of the problems the system has it makes me wonder about the Internal Security of the systems and the ability for Hackers to gain access and use the data in criminal ways. While this is a concern with any computer systems the number of problems with this system makes it even more concerning. Will this stop be from going to Disney, using fast pass and things like that no. But I would never attach a payment method to it.
From 188.8.131.52 on December 4, 2013 at 4:53 PM
I don't really see how Disney could track you more with the Magic Band than they already could with your room key/park ticket/charge card/dining plan card.
From Anon Mouse on December 4, 2013 at 4:57 PM
Privacy matters, but each person has a degree of acceptability. The MagicBand suggests everyone must agree to be tracked and it can't be avoided. That is an unacceptable condition. If the program is instead characterized as a way of benefiting the customer, it can shift the discussion. The privacy policy was a strange document to read. Instead of discussing the benefits, it suggests a warning message. This isn't necessary for a theme park trip. Maybe I'll opt out.
From Insider Freak on December 4, 2013 at 5:11 PM
Put me in the Anti-Magic Band/NGE group. This billion.5 dollar boondoggle of pure evil(at its core)will bite WDW's rear end at some point in the long-term and the ones that will suffer won't be the cm's. It will be us the fans and guests. This system doesn't solve the resort's present day core/main problem: Capacity-there aren't enough things to do at WDW's tired, stale parks not named MK.I didn't vote, but if there were was an option of "I wouldn't use MM+/Magic Bands anyway", I would've voted for that. First post on here and a thanks to the TPI crew for letting me join/participate here.
From Brandon Townsend on December 4, 2013 at 11:00 PM
I love the Magic Band system. On a trip to Orlando this last October everyone in my party had to have their park entrance ticket, room key, and an Express Pass while at Universal. During our Disney stay we only needed our awesome Magic Bands. I'll take this ease and convenience over the privacy concerns any day. Plus the excitement level in my family over receiving the Magic Bands and using them was tremendous. My kids and I were constantly racing down the hallway of the Boardwalk to see who could open our room door first. : ) And when my daughter got hers before the trip she wore it to school and all the other Disneyphiles were very jealous as she was the first to get one.
From 184.108.40.206 on December 4, 2013 at 11:44 PM
Just because our privacy is being chipped away by other entities in this world doesn't mean that adding another to that list is not a big deal and that we shouldn't care. It IS a concern that we're being tracked by everyone else too.
The fact is that Disney is already tracking people via credit cards, cameras and who knows what else before we even bring up the MM+ situation. Sure it's probably not enough to make people not go to WDW based on privacy concerns alone, but if added to the list of other negatives -- specifically the FP+ system -- then it could be enough to at least make you think twice.
Having used the MM+ bands and knowing that they ultimately plan on going with a FP+ only system, I would certainly reconsider going to WDW in the future based on just that alone. The privacy concerns would only be a cherry on top of the issues I have with MM+.
From Sylvain Comeau on December 5, 2013 at 1:11 AM
Personally, privacy is a minor concern because you are in a highly public place anyway -- a theme park full of people. My concerns with MagicBand are that Disney sunk over a billion into this (instead of into rides and park infrastructure) and it still works badly. Plus, I loathe being limited to just three fast passes -- how can you park hop with this crappy new system??
From Kevin Maw on December 5, 2013 at 3:42 AM
Disney appear to be way too silent about security and data use for my liking.
In fact, MyMagic+ seems a little too 'secretive' right now.
The 'beta' phase need not mean 'secretive' phase. Yet guests are pretty much in the dark as to where Disney are headed with the technology.
At the moment a bank card needs a PIN. Most of us are very very certain that our PIN details are extremely safe thanks to trusted bank systems.
So, to answer your question, no, I am not yet convinced about the security of MyMagic+ based upon the simple concern that the system is under development and that means that there's a higher risk than normal of data going missing or being copied by contractors. That of course can include PIN data.
From Jeffrey Britton on December 5, 2013 at 6:15 AM
I may be an idiot but I am still very perplexed by the thought that Magic bands are going to increase spending? Personally I am not going to buy any more or any less food, drinks or souvenirs because I am wearing a stupid RFID chip on a rubber bracelet. Some of the personalizations they have planned for the bands sound cool but overall the system is a money pit. As expensive as Disney and Universal are getting to visit, our vacations are going to become an "either or" thing as compared to an "and" thing of the past. How are we going to decide which one to visit? I can assure you that its not because one has an RFID wristband system. Its going to be which has the newest and best attractions. So while Disney spends millions and millions of dollars on a system that guests didn't ask for Universal is spending money on new bigger, better lands and attractions that people will love. Don't get me wrong. I love Disney, but if the money they have to spend to get this system corrected is taking away from their future attraction plans they are making a mistake of epic proportions.
From Mark Fairleigh on December 5, 2013 at 7:04 AM
If tracking me ultimately helps a company improve the product, and therefore, my experience...I say track away! I mean worrying about that is so 70's govt conspiracy whackiness. Then, like you said Robert, don't use a credit card...pitch a tent in the woods or sleep in your car...at some point you're "giving yourself away".
I agree with comments that this money could have been spent elsewhere...adding another gate to spread out the guests.
But my gut feeling is the reason Disney is sinking so much money into MB is to also market it as a product. They're already selling accessories for it and t-shirts celebrating it as if it were a new gaming system.
From Trevor Renshaw on December 5, 2013 at 8:58 AM
I'm a huge privacy advocate. I barely use Facebook and I refuse to use twitter. As much as I value my privacy, I really feel like the privacy concerns over MagicBand are ridiculous. Disney World must be one of the most family friendly places in the world, so what kind of privacy concerns in that environment are that important? It's not like you're being tracked through Las Vegas or something. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Disney did more tracking and data mining on me if it meant that my vacation was more affordable. It would be interesting if Google ever got into the theme park business, completely free but they play you a targeted add while you're on the roller coaster. The only thing I hope is that they keep billing information separate from the rest of the MagicBand system. I definitely don't want personal and billing information stored on the band itself. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there (for now), because it's in their best interest as well as ours to keep guests' information safe.
And to the guy that said "trusted bank systems", that was a joke right?
From 18.104.22.168 on December 5, 2013 at 9:16 AM
Anyone worried that Disney's Security is somehow better or worse than any other large company is wasting their time. Sony, Adobe, etc, etc have all been hacked. IF ther eis a way in someone will find it. Governments around the world are being hacked. The only way to have any privacy is to live in a cabin in the woods and hope no one knows you are there. Disney being able to secure your info is as effective as everyone else.
The Bands themselves were great to use, but arent a huge upgrade over the KTTW cards. A nice to have though. The hysteria over these things is getting to be laughable. However The reasons for it and the cost are staggering and a bit offensive. When company execs come out and say they are wilfully trying to get every penny out of you it's a bit of a kick in the pants to put it nicely. But how many of us were ever in doubt about this? Why else do they charge $5 for a ten cent pen? And why do we buy them? Because we love the characters and the Parks and the memories that are created.
I recently returned from a trip and loved it. Even my wife noticed things working that weren't previously. I have no complaints about the value for money because there has never been such a thing at WDW. If you want value for money go for a week all inclusive in Cuba where a family of 4 can stay and play and eat for $2500. IF you want what Disney sells, it's going to cost you. Just like the $179.99 I paid for a piece of luggage in the gift shop which I could have gotten at Walmart for $79.99. But hey it has a mouse and WDW written on it.
From Brian Emery on December 5, 2013 at 10:38 AM
I do not think Privacy matters so much to folks…
Since they put everything on Facebook and Twitter every time the Fart… Eat, Drink, nap, watch a movie, Post pictures of their breakfast, What kind of Sandals they are wearing…. I can go on…..
From Mark Fairleigh on December 5, 2013 at 11:10 AM
@Trevor, from what I understand there isn't any information stored on the Magic Band itself other than a code specific to you...so the scanners read the code on your band, then pull up info from your account and give a yes or no back to the scanner. Not saying Disney's servers can't be hacked, but simply grabbing the code off the band won't help unless they also have access to the databases.
From Russell Meyer on December 5, 2013 at 12:40 PM
Disney has been allowing guests to charge to their room key (Keys to the World), which directly charges guest credit cards, for years now, so I think they have a little bit of experience keeping private data secure. That doesn't mean that they can't be hacked, but it's probably as secure as any online retailer or hotel chain that maintains credit card information for deposits/accounts. I think it might be a good idea for them to protect guests through the use of a PIN (similar to credit cards in Europe) so that potential criminals could not walk through the parks skimming and mimicing guests' MyMagic+ RFID chips and running up park charges. However, once you get off-site those RFID data are useless.
The idea is that with the MagicBands, guests are likely to spend more because of more personallized experiences. Imagine how much more a kid will beg for a photo or video of a character meet and greet if that character says their name or knows they were just on a ride and asks what they thought of it. It is also theorized that because of the bands, guests will spend more becuase it will be far easier to pay for things (you won't even need to take your wallet out of your pocket or purse).
For those that are fearful of the tracking technology, you should just go off the grid and live in a cabin in northern Saskatchawan, because if you have a cell phone, internet access, e-mail, facebook, credit card, anything, you are being tracked. In fact, it was just reported the other day that the NSA collects over 5 BILLION pieces of data from cell phones every single day. Anyone with a smartphone that downloads apps, you're typically giving the creator of that app the authority to track your location and/or use. You're essentially giving Disney the same authority through the MyMagic+ system. Personally, I think anything that they want to do that can potentially make my experience better, easier, and more personalized, I'm all for that.
From 126.96.36.199 on December 5, 2013 at 2:20 PM
I'm all about privacy ... But, a company keeping track of you while you're on private property doesn't really constitute an invasion of privacy. Everyone already pretty much knows what you're doing at Disney. It's not like they know what books you're checking out of the library.
Safety concerns at the parks far outweigh privacy issues, as far as I'm concerned. Finding a lost kid by checking their magic Band location would be priceless. Restaurants automatically knowing my girlfriend has a shellfish allergy would be awesome.
This is very, very different from companies or the government snooping and sharing your web browsing activity.
From 184.108.40.206 on December 5, 2013 at 7:27 PM
Magic bands are all about incremental revenue and improved service as a differentiator in the market. Universal has matched Disney in many of their historical advantages and they believe this will be the new separation. At $1.5B, that probably is as little as $75 additional revenue per unique visitor over 5 years. Not a huge goal. Just mining the data for highly targeted marketing will make that back. That's before they sell any data to the data aggregators.
The concern is whether they can protect my information. Many businesses have proven they can't. I have heard unverified stories from cast members of some huge mistakes. Don't know if real, but if they are, just proves they are no different than other businesses. What is different is the extreme amount of detail the DSA :-) is collecting. Yes, it probably is pretty innocent now but what will they do with it in a few years. If the NSA, with all of their motivation and resources can't protect their data, can the DSA?
In the end, it is my job to control my data. I choose to share it with Disney now. If they keep being greedy, I have other options and also ways to limit what they collect without bunkering up.
From Anthony Murphy on December 6, 2013 at 3:12 PM
I will say it again: How is the Magic Band any different than the Key to the World Card? Disney is not getting any new info about the guests that they already know.
The advantage of going to the magic bands is that now Disney can expect people to make plans and reservations. While this might be an issue unto itself, at least it allows Disney to plan accordingly for the rush.
From nancy ziembo on December 7, 2013 at 2:32 PM
I fully expect Disney to use the bands to track customers movements, etc. However, we have used the bands twice now(September and October, 2013)and despise the new advanced reservation fast passes. We found the limitation of but two per day in only one park very frustrating and the long wait times in line at rides without a fast pass to be irritating and we walked away more times than we could remember. To watch, waiting in line for an hour while hordes of fast passers rush by tends to make us wary of wanting to visit WDW anytime soon. We have been going for a week at a time twice per year for the past ten years, but this year's frustrations have about tested us to the limit. Disney is changing the whole tenor of the Walt Disney experience into something it was not. And, not for the better.
From Mark Hollamon on December 9, 2013 at 6:48 AM
We have a Disney Visa, Disney Premium Annual Passes, and a Tables in Wonderland membership. There's not much more the Mouse can find out about me, but I'm fine with it.
Privacy as we knew it has been gone for a long time and there is virtually no way to live "off the grid" now and seriously, 99% of the people out there have nothing to worry about and the other 1% are using an alias and not going to the Magic Kingdom...

Star light, star bright
In a galaxy far, far away burns a star now known as UGA-1785 thanks to Roger Hunter (BS '78), who leads the NASA search for inhabitable planets outside our solar system. The Kepler mission, as it's known, recently found three planets with light collected from the host star. The light from the star originated in 1801, NASA scientists determined, the first year of classes at UGA. Hunter asked and was told that yes, the star could be nicknamed for UGA and the year the university was chartered. The Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, provides the technology to explore other galaxies. Since then, project scientists have confirmed the existence of 115 planets outside our solar system.

Neven Mrgan's tumbl: Focused dabbling
Dan Benjamin on Back to Work:
"I don't believe it's possible to have a side business. I don't think you can have a business on the side. I don't think you can go to work and have a job and then come home and run a business. I believe that both the job and the side business… you will never…
Interesting read on both fronts. As someone who's been in business for himself for over a decade, I can say that running a business is always more than your full focus on 1 thing — the key is compartmentalizing items of your duties, regardless of who or what they are for. Between the administrative side of business: keeping books, doing taxes, sending invoices, writing proposals; there is the functional business: design, concepting, development, programming. In order to any of those, one must focus on that task for a period of time. The luxury (or downfall?) of larger businesses is that an employee has only the responsibility of one (or maybe a few) items (which isn't to say that they still can't accomplish other side business items by compartmentalizing those items and focusing on them for a preset period of time).

Venue Review: Pho and Japanese Steakhouse
Pho and Japanese Steakhouse – it's a mouthful of a name for a restaurant, to be sure. On the bright side, at least you're not left guessing about what's on the menu.
Nor can you fault first-time restaurateur Louis Tran for hitching the wagon of his native Vietnamese fare to the trendy vehicle of Japanese cuisine. Powered by the seemingly unstoppable twin engines of hibachi and sushi, it's a temptation that a wide variety of Asian restaurateurs, from Thai to Korean, have found impossible to resist.
Too often, though, that vehicle turns out to be a lemon. The diluted effort invariably yields uneven results, with the Japanese fare – which, let's face it, is there merely to provide marketing traction – rarely rising above mediocrity. Over time, it can even be a drag on a restaurant's efforts to find a following for the cuisine that is the real reason for its opening.
Just three months after opening, Pho and Japanese Steakhouse is already looking like a poster child for the phenomenon. Never in my experience have I encountered a restaurant where the disparity between the two cuisines is so great. And I'm clearly not the only one, judging by the big bowls of pho served to the overwhelming majority of customers when I've visited.
No wonder. In the three months since its opening, those customers have already discovered that the classic Vietnamese beef noodle soup is the restaurant's main draw.
The broth – made from scratch with long-simmered beef bones and subtly redolent of cinnamon, anise and ginger – is richly flavorful even before you begin doctoring it to taste. To that end, you're provided a generous plateful of fresh herbs, jalapeños, bean sprouts and lime wedges. Add hoisin and Sriracha sauce if you like, and you've got a meal in a bowl (available with your choice of traditional add-ins, from simple sliced beef to a nose-to-tail medley of beef, tendon, meatballs and tripe) that's at once exotic and deeply satisfying.
The menu also offers chicken and crabmeat variations on the pho theme, as well as a handful of other Vietnamese appetizers, noodle dishes and entrees. If you're not in the mood for a big bowl of soup, lemongrass beef – amped up with slivers of the citrusy herb and slices of fresh jalapeño – should satisfy. Or maybe a Vietnamese seafood chow fun – a colorful tangle of thick noodles, shrimp, scallops, Asian broccoli and red bell pepper under a scattering of cilantro and scallion.
Goi cuon, delicate summer rolls filled with shrimp, noodles, cucumber and basil, are a worthy starter option. So are crispy spring rolls (cha gio), which are available in chicken and shrimp versions.
Venture onto the Japanese side of the menu, however, at your own risk. Hibachi rib-eye, ordered medium-rare and served on the far side of medium-well, left me wondering why the server bothered asking how I'd like the beef done. Hibachi scallops were only marginally better. (Hibachi and teriyaki dishes are prepared in the kitchen. Don't let the restaurant's name mislead you into expecting showy knife-wielding chefs at teppanyaki tables.)
Mediocre shrimp tempura did little to redeem the kitchen. The sloppy knife work and slipshod assembly of a rainbow roll told me all I needed to know about the sushi.
Try as I might, I wasn't able to find a Japanese dish that measured up to the Vietnamese offering.
Service is consistently friendly and eager to please, though the levels of experience and familiarity with the menu vary widely.
Decor is what you might call strip-mall-Asian-on-a-budget, in shades of red and black. It's pleasant enough, though the large space can feel a bit barren when the dining room is nearly empty.
Which it has been when I've visited, no doubt in part owing to the location in a strip mall that has seen better days. Even Fortune Palace, long considered one of the area's best Chinese restaurants, succumbed in the space now occupied by Pho and Japanese Steakhouse after an almost 20-year run.
On the other hand, a longstanding Mexican restaurant is still going strong a couple of doors down in the same mall. With prices for a first-rate bowl of pho on a par with a Tex-Mex combination plate, there's no reason that Pho and Japanese Steakhouse couldn't thrive here.
Maybe the restaurant's clunky name is the problem after all. I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to jettison the last three words.
In the three months since its opening, customers of Pho and Japanese Steakhouse in Raleigh have discovered that the classic Vietnamese beef noodle soup is the main draw.(Full review)

This blends perfectly into the classic Mendoza terroir. Following the heritage of his ancestors and the traditional winemaking that the first Italian and Spanish immigrants brough to Argentina, this is where Carlos Pulenta developed his personal undertaking of blending wines involving members of his family, advisors, enologists, and a highly-esteemed group of people who knew the land well.

Impossible Project color film.
During Roid Week 2013, I was using black and white Impossible Project instant film. I was having hard time making that film work. It was all grayed out, no contrast. I loved shooting instant "polaroid" film, but I wasn't too happy with the colors on the photos that were coming out of the camera. I just don't shoot enough of this film to really know the best way to use it. I've got a pack of color Impossible Project film in the camera now. I'm happier with the way these images are coming out, in terms of the contrast. One thing is for sure, I love shooting instant film. So much fun.
In honor of #roidweek, here's a #polaroid #tbt taken in Cambodia back in 2007
Bryant Park, outdoor movie night, 90+ degrees. Those are serious outdoor film buffs. Show wasn't going to start for another 2 hours. Summer in the city indeed.

RoidWeek 2013 #2
The pool is now open! RoidWeek 2013 started yesterday, July 15, and runs through Friday, July 19. Time to break out that Polaroid camera and take some photos, old school style.
The above polaroid was taken back in 2007, for RoidWeek 2007.
An espresso break while I review my first #polaroid (#impossibleproject film) for #roidweek
Introducing our new San Francisco 'Instant Streets' poster. It features 24 double exposure Polaroids of some of San Francisco's most iconic streets and neighborhoods. Now available in our Esty shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/PolaroidSF)!
This makes me think of the co-worker who always says "I've got a case of the Mondays!" on days other than Monday.
So I'm going to title this polaroid:Co-worker with a case of saying "I've got a case of the Mondays!" on not Monday.

Almost Stranded
Dear Ford,
My first car was a 1953 ford police car. It was fast at that time. I drove it across the United States three times. I remember my Dad having a Model T and riding threw the snow with him.
Last year (2009) we purchased a Ford Edge SEL with everything. We love it and the ride is outstanding.
On July 10 I had a stroke and was in the hospital ICU. My wife went home to pick up some things. On the way back to the hospital a ALARM sounded. She said it scared her. She looked and it said she had low air pressure in tire. She continued driving and hoping she could make it back to the hospital, some 50 miles. She made it to the hospital and she walked around but did not see a tire low. With me in ICU and a stroke I could no do anything. The next day she went out to check and see if a tire was low. She found that the left rear tire was about half flat.
I talked to the dealer where we purchased the Edge and he gave me a 800 phone number to call. I called the Ford road service 800 number and explained to them my situation. They needed some information which I was able to give them. They said it would be 35 minutes before they could be there to put the spare on. It was 30 minutes when they arrived to put the spare tire on. I was able to get someone from Ford Road Service to help us during our time of need.
We have owned several Fords including Broncos, Explorers, and now a smart Edge SEL.
Thanks Ford for your help and we are thankful for a smart car our Edge SEL, and most of all for it letting my wife know about the low tire air pressure.

Really thinking about the role of man and woman
"But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God." (1 Corinthians 11:3 NIV)
"A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels. Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God." (1 Corinthians 11:7-12 NIV)
"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Amen. - Psalm 23
From my QT 10/9/2009 first semester at Penn.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do." (James 1:2-8 NIV)
One of the best articles I've read in a while. And the timing could not have been more perfect. Excuses are always easy to come by. "I'll travel later in life" is a classic. Mine has been, "I have to save up for grad school." Not that this mentality has…
So amazing! Especially the link to World Race missions in the article is phenomenal. So exciting.

Summer is winding down, and I find myself unburdened by the bitter cynicism that typically plagues me this time of year. It's a pretty good time to be a moviegoer, relatively speaking, as it's rare thing indeed to look at a multiplex marquee and actually find a handful of films that are worth seeing ("The Smurfs," of course, notwithstanding).
This week we'll look at another strong late-summer release, and slated for next week is "30 Minutes Or Less." It should be good for a laugh or two, provided you can come to terms with the fact that it was apparently inspired by a horrific true-crime case that resulted in a mentally challenged man getting his head blown off by an exploding neck collar. I guess anything can be comedic fodder these days ...

Severe flood warnings were issued as already sodden parts of southwest England were soaked by rain and battered by strong winds. Emergency services warned lives were at risk.
msnbc.com news staff and news service reports — Flooding from Tropical Depression Debby damaged thousands of homes, washed out roads, opened up sinkholes and closed a section of Interstate 10 — the state's main east-west highway.
Water was up to the roofs at some homes in low lying areas of Live Oak, Fla., on Wednesday. Several feet of water remained around businesses in downtown near the courthouse and many roads were impassable.

Reuters reports: Tropical Storm Debby weakened as it drifted eastward over Florida on Tuesday, dumping more rain on flooded areas and sending thousands of people fleeing from rising rivers.
After stalling in the Gulf of Mexico, the storm was finally moving but was expected to take two more days to finish its wet slog across Florida.
Florida's major east-west interstate was cut off Tuesday by Tropical Storm Debby flooding, while one county had already seen 26.2 inches of rain — topping the official forecast calling for up to 25 inches in a few areas by the time Debby moves out Thursday.
Flash flood warnings were issued for parts of northern Florida and southern Georgia as Debby crawled eastward at just 3 mph.
"This thing is going nowhere fast," said TODAY show meteorologist Al Roker, noting that Debby had no steering currents to guide it. "There's nothing really to kick this thing out."
