In this thought-provoking book, the acclaimed author of Our Inner Ape examines how empathy comes naturally to a great variety of animals, including humans.
Are we our brothers' keepers? Do we have an instinct for compassion? Or are we, as is often assumed, only on earth to serve our own survival and interests?
By studying social behaviors in animals, such as bonding, the herd instinct, the forming of trusting alliances, expressions of consolation, and conflict resolution, Frans de Waal demonstrates that animals–and humans–are "preprogrammed to reach out." He has found that chimpanzees care for mates that are wounded by leopards, elephants offer "reassuring rumbles" to youngsters in distress, and dolphins support sick companions near the water's surface to prevent them from drowning. From day one humans have innate sensitivities to faces, bodies, and voices; we've been designed to feel for one another.
De Waal's theory runs counter to the assumption that humans are inherently selfish, which can be seen in the fields of politics, law, and finance. But he cites the public's outrage at the U.S. government's lack of empathy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as a significant shift in perspective–one that helped Barack Obama become elected and ushered in what may well become an Age of Empathy. Through a better understanding of empathy's survival value in evolution, de Waal suggests, we can work together toward a more just society based on a more generous and accurate view of human nature.
Written in layman's prose with a wealth of anecdotes, wry humor, and incisive intelligence, The Age of Empathy is essential reading for our embattled times.
"An important and timely message about the biological roots of human kindness."
—Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape
Editorial Reviews
—Robert Lee Hotz, The Wall Street Journal
"It's hard to feel the pain of the next guy. First, you have to notice that he exists…then realize that he has different thoughts than you…and different emotions…and that he needs help…and that you should help because you'd like the same done for you…and, wait, did I remember to lock the car?…and… Empathy is often viewed as requiring cognitive capacities for things like theory of mind, perspective taking and the golden rule, implying that empathy is pretty much limited to humans, and is a fairly fragile phenomenon in us. For decades, Frans de Waal has generated elegant data and thinking that show that this is wrong. In this superb book, he shows how we are not the only species with elements of those cognitive capacities, empathy is as much about affect as cognition, and our empathic humanity has roots far deeper than our human-ness."
—Robert Sapolsky, author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers and A Primate's Memoir
"The lessons of the economic meltdown, Hurricane Katrina, and other disasters may not be what you think: Biologically, humans are not selfish animals. For that matter, neither are animals, writes the engaging Frans de Waal, a psychology professor with proof positive that, like other creatures who hang out in herds, we've evolved to be empathetic. We don't just hear a scream, it chills us to the bone; when we see a smile, we answer with one of our own. THE AGE OF EMPATHY offers advice to cutthroat so-called realists: Listen to your inner ape."
—O, The Oprah Magazine
"Freshly topical….a corrective to the idea that all animals—human and otherwise—are selfish and unfeeling to the core."
—The Economist
"Without question, de Waal's essential findings should become part of mainstream conversation. But we need to go further by joining them with a radical political analysis, one that spells out the cultural mechanisms that give rise to an empathy-deficient society. Only then can we reclaim the continuity of morality that emerges so eloquently from these pages."
—Gary Olson, The Baltimore Chronicle
"De Waal, a renowned primatologist, knows the territory firsthand. He writes clearly and plays fair; he takes on the strongest arguments against him and is quick to acknowledge complexity. His book is popular science as it should be, far superior to the recent spate of "Darwin made me do it" books that purport to explain (or explain away) our behavior."
—Edward Dolnick, Bookforum
"De Waal is an excellent tour guide, refreshingly literate outside his field, deft at stitching bits of philosophy and anthropology into the narrative. He is also pleasingly opinionated; he seems to have columnist aspirations of his own, and his frequent – usually thoughtful and balanced, occasionally facile – digressions on morality and U.S. politics read like boilerplate New York Times editorials.
Empathy, de Waal says, is one of our most innate capacities, one that likely evolved from mammalian parental care. It begins in the body, a deep unconscious synchrony between mother and child that sets the tone for so many mammalian interactions. When someone smiles, we smile; when they yawn, we yawn; emotion is contagious."
—Jeff Warren, Globe & Mail
"Given the nature of business survival in a competitive world, de Waal's clarion call that greed is out and empathy is in, may be a call we should all hear."
—Ray Wlliams, Psychology Today
"If Dawkins is Huxley's intellectual descendant, de Waal is certainly Kropotkin's. Whereas Dawkins holds that biology will be of little help in building a just society, de Waal is less convinced that we are at war with our nature. Rather, he finds it odd that those instances of spontaneous altruism shown in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks or during the Katrina disaster could somehow be considered unnatural."
—Eric Michael Johnson, SEED
"The endeavor has majesty. It also affirms a very unmajestic human experience: Our emotions are a mess. Of course they are—they are accumulated bits of psychic life thrown together over millions of years by evolution with no oversight or quality control about what they actually feel like. Just because we have a single word for a feeling or trait now doesn't mean that it is homogenous or discrete.
Developing an appreciation of this complexity, de Waal suggests, could actually combat one of the least helpful of human tendencies: the impulse—not innate but socially very contagious—to reductively assume our biology is bad."
—Christine Kenneally, Slate
"De Waal...culls an astounding volume of research that deflates the human assumption that animals lack the characteristics often referred to as 'humane.' He cites recent animal behavior studies that challenge the 'primacy of human logic' and put animals on a closer behavioral footing with humans.....Throughout the book, de Waal illustrates how behaving more like our wild mammalian cousins may just save humanity. His contention, colored by philosophical musings and fascinating anecdotes of observed emotional connections between animals, argues persuasively that humans are not greedy or belligerent because animals are; such traits are far from organic or inevitable but patently manmade."
—Publisher's Weekly
"Addressing the question of whether it is possible to 'combine a thriving economy with a humane society' zoologist de Waal answers with a resounding yes....De Waal cites the 'evolutionary antiquity' of empathy to argue that 'society depends on a second invisible hand, one that reaches out to others.' An appealing celebration of our better nature."
"[De Waal's] illuminating description and explanation of his research have made progressively more magnetic reading (and viewing of the exceptionally illustrative photos and drawings) of eight previous books and don't fail him now."
Praise for Our Inner Ape by Frans de Waal
"This important and illuminating book should help our own species take that lesson in civility to heart."
—Temple Grandin, New York Times
"Frans de Waal's work . . . has helped lift Darwin's conjectures about the evolution of morality to a new level."
—Jonathan Weiner, author of The Beak of the Finch
"Frans de Waal has achieved that state of grace for a scientist–doing research that is both rigorous and wildly creative, and in the process has redefined how we think about the most interesting realms of behavior among nonhuman primates–cooperation, reconciliation, a sense of fairness, and even the rudiments of morality."
—Robert M. Sapolsky, author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers and A Primate's Memoir
"Frans de Waal is uniquely placed to write a book on the duality of human nature and on its biological origins in other primate species. No other book has attempted to cover this ground. Few topics are as timely to the understanding of the human mind and behavior."
—Antonio Damasio, author of Descartes' Error
"On the basis of a fascinating and provocative account of the remarkable continuities between the social emotions of humans and of nonhuman primates, de Waal develops a compelling case for the evolutionary roots of human morality."
—Harry G. Frankfurt, author of On Bullshit

Biology, Left and Right
What is government itself but the greatest of all
reflections on human nature?
-james madison, 1788
Are we our brothers' keepers? Should we be? Or would this role only interfere with why we are on earth, which according to economists is to consume and produce, and according to biologists is to survive and reproduce? That both views sound similar is logical given that they arose at around the same time, in the same place, during the English Industrial Revolution. Both follow a competition-is-good-for-you logic.
Slightly earlier and slightly to the north, in Scotland, the thinking was different. The father of economics, Adam Smith, understood as no other that the pursuit of self-interest needs to be tempered by "fellow feeling." He said so in The Theory of Moral Sentiments, a book not nearly as popular as his later work The Wealth of Nations. He famously opened his first book with:
How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it.
The French revolutionaries chanted of fraternite, Abraham Lincoln appealed to the bonds of sympathy, and Theodore Roosevelt spoke glowingly of fellow feeling as "the most important factor in producing a healthy political and social life." But if this is true, why is this sentiment sometimes ridiculed as being, well, sentimental? A recent example occurred after Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana in 2005. While the American people were transfixed by the unprecedented catastrophe, one cable news network saw fit to ask if the Constitution actually provides for disaster relief. A guest on the show argued that the misery of others is none of our business.
The day the levees broke, I happened to be driving down from Atlanta to Alabama to give a lecture at Auburn University. Except for a few fallen trees, this part of Alabama had suffered little damage, but the hotel was full of refugees: people had crammed the rooms with grandparents, children, dogs, and cats. I woke up at a zoo! Not the strangest place for a biologist, perhaps, but it conveyed the size of the calamity. And these people were the lucky ones. The morning newspaper at my door screamed, "Why have we been left behind like animals?" a quote from one of the people stuck for days without food and sanitation in the Louisiana Superdome.
I took issue with this headline, not because I felt there was nothing to complain about, but because animals don't necessarily leave one another behind. My lecture was on precisely this topic, on how we have an "inner ape" that is not nearly as callous and nasty as advertised, and how empathy comes naturally to our species. I wasn't claiming that it always finds expression, though. Thousands of people with money and cars had fled New Orleans, leaving the sick, old, and poor to fend for themselves. In some places dead bodies floated in the water, where they were being eaten by alligators.
But immediately following the disaster there was also deep embarrassment in the nation about what had happened, and an incredible outpouring of support. Sympathy was not absent-it just was late in coming. Americans are a generous people, yet raised with the mistaken belief that the "invisible hand" of the free market-a metaphor introduced by the same Adam Smith-will take care of society's woes. The invisible hand, however, did nothing to prevent the appalling survival-of-the-fittest scenes in New Orleans.
The ugly secret of economic success is that it sometimes comes at the expense of public funding, thus creating a giant underclass that no one cares about. Katrina exposed the underbelly of American society. On my drive back to Atlanta, it occurred to me that this is the theme of our time: the common good. We tend to focus on wars, terror threats, globalization, and petty political scandals, yet the larger issue is how to combine a thriving economy with a humane society. It relates to health care, education, justice, and-as illustrated by Katrina-protection against nature. The levees in Louisiana had been criminally neglected. In the weeks following the flooding, the media were busy finger-pointing. Had the engineers been at fault? Had funds been diverted? Shouldn't the president have broken off his vacation? Where I come from, fingers belong in the dike-or at least that's how legend has it. In the Netherlands, much of which lies up to twenty feet below sea level, dikes are so sacred that politicians have literally no say over them: Water management is in the hands of engineers and local citizen boards that predate the nation itself.
Come to think of it, this also reflects a distrust of government, not so much big government but rather the short-sightedness of most politicians.
Evolutionary Spirit
How people organize their societies may not seem the sort of topic a biologist should worry about. I should be concerned with the ivory-billed woodpecker, the role of primates in the spread of AIDS or Ebola, the disappearance of tropical rain forests, or whether we evolved from the apes. Whereas the latter remains an issue for some, there has nevertheless been a dramatic shift in public opinion regarding the role of biology. The days are behind us when E. O. Wilson was showered with cold water after a lecture on the connection between animal and human behavior. Greater openness to parallels with animals makes life easier for the biologist, hence my decision to go to the next level and see if biology can shed light on human society. If this means wading right into political controversy, so be it; it's not as if biology is not already a part of it. Every debate about society and government makes huge assumptions about human nature, which are presented as if they come straight out of biology. But they almost never do.
Lovers of open competition, for example, often invoke evolution. The e-word even slipped into the infamous "greed speech" of Gordon Gekko, the ruthless corporate raider played by Michael Douglas in the 1987 movie Wall Street:
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that "greed"-for lack of a better word-is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
The evolutionary spirit? Why are assumptions about biology always on the negative side? In the social sciences, human nature is typified by the old Hobbesian proverb Homo homini lupus ("Man is wolf to man"), a questionable statement about our own species based on false assumptions about another species. A biologist exploring the interaction between society and human nature really isn't doing anything new, therefore. The only difference is that instead of trying to justify a particular ideological framework, the biologist has an actual interest in the question of what human nature is and where it came from. Is the evolutionary spirit really all about greed, as Gekko claimed, or is there more to it?
Students of law, economics, and politics lack the tools to look at their own society with any objectivity. What are they going to compare it with? They rarely, if ever, consult the vast knowledge of human behavior accumulated in anthropology, psychology, biology, or neuroscience. The short answer derived from the latter disciplines is that we are group animals: highly cooperative, sensitive to injustice, sometimes warmongering, but mostly peace loving. A society that ignores these tendencies can't be optimal. True, we are also incentive-driven animals, focused on status, territory, and food security, so that any society that ignores those tendencies can't be optimal, either. There is both a social and a selfish side to our species. But since the latter is, at least in the West, the dominant assumption, my focus will be on the former: the role of empathy and social connectedness.
There is exciting new research about the origins of altruism and fairness in both ourselves and other animals. For example, if one gives two monkeys hugely different rewards for the same task, the one who gets the short end of the stick simply refuses to perform. In our own species, too, individuals reject income if they feel the distribution is unfair. Since any income should beat none at all, this means that both monkeys and people fail to follow the profit principle to the letter. By protesting against unfairness, their behavior supports both the claim that incentives matter and that there is a natural dislike of injustice.
Yet in some ways we seem to be moving ever closer to a society with no solidarity whatsoever, one in which a lot of people can expect the short end of the stick. To reconcile this trend with good old Christian values, such as care for the sick and poor, may seem hopeless. But one common strategy is to point the finger at the victims. If the poor can be blamed for being poor, everyone else is off the hook. Thus, a year after Katrina, Newt Gingrich, a prominent conservative politician, called for an investigation into "the failure of citizenship" of people who had been unsuccessful escaping from the hurricane.
Those who highlight individual freedom often regard collective interests as a romantic notion, something for sissies and communists. They prefer an every-man-for-himself logic. For example, instead of spending money on levees that protect an entire region, why not let everyone take care of their own safety? A new company in Florida is doing just that, renting out seats on private jets to fly people out of places threatened by hurricanes. This way, those who can afford it won't need to drive out at five miles per hour with the rest of the populace.
Every society has to deal with this me-first attitude. I see it play out every day. And here I am not referring to people, but to chimpanzees at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, where I work. At our field station northeast of Atlanta, we house chimps in large outdoor corrals, sometimes providing them with shareable food, such as watermelons. Most of the apes want to be the first to put their hands on our food, because once they have it, it's rarely taken away by others. There actually exists respect of ownership, so that even the lowest-ranking female is allowed to keep her food by the most dominant male. Food possessors are often approached by others with an outstretched hand (a gesture that is also the universal way humans ask for a handout). The apes beg and whine, literally whimpering in the face of the other. If the possessor doesn't give in, beggars may throw a fit, screaming and rolling around as if the world is coming to an end.
My point is that there is both ownership and sharing. In the end, usually within twenty minutes, all of the chimpanzees in the group will have some food. Owners share with their best buddies and family, who in turn share with their best buddies and family. It is a rather peaceful scene even though there is also quite a bit of jostling for position. I still remember a camera crew filming a sharing session and the cameraman turning to me and saying, "I should show this to my kids. They could learn from it."
So, don't believe anyone who says that since nature is based on a struggle for life, we need to live like this as well. Many animals survive not by eliminating each other or keeping everything for themselves, but by cooperating and sharing. This applies most definitely to pack hunters, such as wolves or killer whales, but also to our closest relatives, the primates. In a study done at Ta• National Park, in Ivory Coast, chimpanzees took care of group mates wounded by leopards; they licked their mates' blood, carefully removed dirt, and waved away flies that came near the wounds. They protected injured companions and slowed down during travel in order to accommodate them. All of this makes perfect sense, given that chimpanzees live in groups for a reason, the same way wolves and humans are group animals for a reason. If man is wolf to man, he is so in every sense, not just the negative one. We would not be where we are today had our ancestors been socially aloof.
What we need is a complete overhaul of assumptions about human nature. Too many economists and politicians model human society on the perpetual struggle they believe exists in nature, but which is a mere projection. Like magicians, they first throw their ideological prejudices into the hat of nature, then pull them out by their very ears to show how much nature agrees with them. It's a trick we have fallen for for too long. Obviously, competition is part of the picture, but humans can't live by competition alone.
The Over-kissed Child
The German philosopher Immanuel Kant saw as little value in human kindness as former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney did in energy conservation. Cheney mocked conservation as "a sign of personal virtue" that, sadly, wouldn't do the planet any good. Kant praised compassion as "beautiful" yet considered it irrelevant to a virtuous life. Who needs tender feelings if duty is all that matters?
We live in an age that celebrates the cerebral and looks down upon emotions as mushy and messy. Worse, emotions are hard to control, and isn't self-control what makes us human? Like hermits resisting life's temptations, modern philosophers try to keep human passions at arm's length and focus on logic and reason instead. But just as no hermit can avoid dreaming of pretty maidens and good meals, no philosopher can get around the basic needs, desires, and obsessions of a species that, unfortunately for them, actually is made of flesh and blood. The notion of "pure reason" is pure fiction.
If morality is derived from abstract principles, why do judgments often come instantaneously? We hardly need to think about them. In fact, psychologist Jonathan Haidt believes we arrive at them intuitively. He presented human subjects with stories of odd behavior (such as a one-night stand between a brother and sister), which the subjects immediately disapproved of. He then challenged every single reason they could come up with for their rejection of incest until his subjects ran out of reasons. They might say that incest leads to abnormal offspring, but in Haidt's story the siblings used effective contraception, which took care of this argument. Most of his subjects quickly reached the stage of "moral dumbfounding": They stubbornly insisted the behavior was wrong without being able to say why.

These pretty pieces are vintage Josef Original figures. They represent two of the children of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Emperor Francis I. The brother and sister are handsomely dressed in their period clothes of pale pink enhanced with small hand painted flowers and gold trim. They also has open porcelain "lacework" which is also accented with gold trim. They both have their California Josef Originals foiled paper stickers and their name labels as well as being signed on the bottom with the Josef Originals copyright mark.
She measures about 5 1/2" tall and is in very good condition with minimal wear. There is an X inscribed on the bottom which generally denotes that this piece was a second. It is probably because one of the leaves in her hair was apparently damaged in the manufacturing but was trimmed with the gold and so then it was considered a second. He measures about 4 ¾" high and is in good condition with minor wear. There is a teeny fleck off the edge of his hat. Both have glaze crazing. Email if you would like additional photos.

Civil and social uses of drones
Civil and social uses of drones
A drone is often a distant proscribed pilotless airplane in addition to a projectile. A plan broader definition of the is an unmanned plane as well as a ship which might steer itself individually, with no individual command or earlier the line of prospect. Consequently, this paper will endeavor to explain for the civil in conjunction with the social makes use of of drones. There're escalating quantities of in-flight drone platforms, comprising for the totally energetic get it done you culture. The equipment are getting to be greater vigorous, with the possibilities to maintain heavier payloads for broad flight periods. Just like the rising fascination and the would-be for these tools to deal with novel regions of requests, it is always necessary to address on the civil employs of drones. Hence, between this works by using they are doing comprise within the agricultural sector. Basing on multiple researches performed by the "Association for Unmanned Car Systems International" the news suggested that. The agricultural usage of drones could involve 70% within the marketplace.
The reason identified for this comprised belonging to the drive to observe crops strictly so as to enhance supervision alongside the yields. The near infrared sensors could in fact be adjusted to perception crop overall health. One other civil use of the drone is from the mines whereby the mine industries are now arranging drones all over the community with enormous competence and protection grow to judge specifically web site ailments. To examine pit partitions in addition to evaluate the magnitudes and determine maps in 3D. The drones will also be utilised within the construction sites. The screening from over of building up projects websites offers you a novel contribution all over the total stages of a task lifecycle. In-flight images is executed for your main initiatives. Also, in regards to the civil usage of the drone, it happens to be very clear they are employed around the infrastructure evaluation. As a result, this starts through the electric power lines for the pipelines as the evaluation of difficult infrastructures is presently attaining through the regular aerial checking. The potential for sense in 3D, gather thermal readings along with getting steel strains will vastly increase infrastructure assessment. The diminutive and unmanned platforms which might drift and acquire and surround infrastructure similar to the plants and bridges which may increase a novel level of content to grow overall performance.
Drones are now being utilized throughout the world to look at and path the wildlife by presenting ingenious insights to the animal characters in addition to fortification from your poachers. The mineral, oil, not to mention fuel discovery, is undoubtedly an common fit with the drones, with industry prospectors expanding their equipment with in-flight sensors to confirm and boost their insights. Distributing drones into hurricanes including tornados enhance novel insight into their character together with the flight. The drones will be the optimum approach to these harmful illnesses, and with focused sensors to facial area the temperature parameters. Drones fill the room concerning manned aerial scrutiny as well as the customary fieldwork, examining hard to attain regions or having readings in polluted locations. As a result, this is where unique well being is perceived for being in danger. Near infrared sensors deliver details about plant health to ascertain the surrounding wellbeing. Drones present you with a prototype shift for distant intelligence, supplied their prospect, reduced costs concerning treatments in addition to simplicity of use in addition to the computerization of study. Drones can swiftly discover the location of a missing particular person and so are generally applied in the evening or in demanding environment.
Studies done by "Amazon" confirmed that on the following 4 a long time, they foresee employing drones in the launch of their products. As outlined by Amazons main executive, he states that "I appreciate this appears as rocket science, but I'm sure it is really achievable." The "Amazon primer Air" drones are airborne supply cars that would express goods weighing far more than one.5kgs and may convey the products within 20 minutes. The social uses of drones are not constrained into the Amazon Corporation considering the fact that other merchants are actually inventing this technique. Domino's Pizza has currently unveiled its method upfront this year to distribute takeaways by the "Domicoptor" drones. Scientists like Matternet are anticipating on how to assemble networks of diminutive unmanned traveling automobiles. So, the phrase "Matternet" originates from your notion that these networks may be comparable to the online world, but predominantly useful for physical substances. Also, as per the basic research, it approximates that in sub-Saharan Africa 85% of the infrastructure are ineffectual through the rainy period of time. This is why, with all the use of drones, products like medication might be inquired through the cell phone and distributed inside a few time. Drone technologies relating to the social use has received the extensive possible to maintain the universe most discriminated. According to approximates, it truly is obvious that alot more than one billion individuals lack the fundamental requires like shelter, food and apparel resulting from the scarcity of streets. When anyone is discriminated, then it is very hard for them to get involved in social and financial techniques. The drones provide the prospective to eradicate these boundaries. Drone technologies is a optimum suit for eradicating the social barriers on the modern society like marginalization. The benefits of drones both of those within the civil and social takes advantage of are large, and its anticipated to own an optimistic affect about the world.

Those are pretty easy to drive so the E6 should be fine, and it does have bass boost.

Those are pretty easy to drive so the E6 should be fine, and it does have bass boost.
That's what a DAC is for, and this is I much rather have you save up for the E07K with a build-in DAC as an AMP alone won't help you clean up your signals. This is specially true for notebook and laptops with their tight integration of electronics as you are bounded to get a lot of on board noise, and hooking it up with an AMP will just make matters worse.
You don't have to buy it now, just earn money and save up, because I have a feeling that you won't be happy with the E6 sooner or later.
Ill wait and see if i need it that bad. i have 100 but im saving...
Save more first then worry about this later.
Neither the E5 nor the E11 has a DAC inside, but the E07K or the E17 does. However, both the E5 and E6 are very similar.
p.s. what IEMs you are using, and if they are not that good then there is no point on getting an AMP/DAC.
E11 is really good for what it is..I like my Asus Xonar DG for my desktop computer it is excellent for the price..and in your budget for a computer amp..
The problem is that his actual budget is only $40 and it has to work with an iPod and laptop...
Is the E07K a DAC and an amp? And no my iems aren't to great but I might get a pair of klipsch image s4. I don't even really need an amp but I will in the future.
I'm in a similar predicament as you are. I'm looking for a cheap DAC and amp. The E07K is both a DAC and an amp and it's the device I've decided to settle with. You'll be able to use it with a portable audio player as an amp and then as a DAC/amp combo with your laptop.

Q: Do you have any suggestions for removing rubber tire marks from precast concrete pavers?
A: We asked Norm Gill from Tennant Co. to answer your question. He recommends using a citrus-based alkaline cleaner (Tennant 9960 Severe Soilage Neutral Floor Cleaner is one such product), and says to spray the concentrated cleaner on the surface and allow it to soak the tire marks for 15 minutes. Use a mechanical floor scrubber to remove the marks.
Solvents may also remove the marks, but many of these products are considered to be hazardous materials and they will leach into the soil at paver joints. Disposal of excess solvent also is a problem. Citrus alkaline cleaners aren't hazardous and, in most locations, they can safely be washed into a sewer.
Readers Respond:
Reader Don Backstrom of Backstrom Curb & Sidewalk Inc. told us about another inexpensive way to remove tire marks and many other stains from concrete. He uses Simple Green, a nontoxic, biodegradable, environmentally safe cleaner available at most hardware and department stores.

This hotel is above a pizzeria. We didn't eat there but it smelled great. Lobby is small but nice. Our room was very small but the double bed and bath were comfy. Shower was hot but very small. The walls are very thin and we could hear a baby crying next door. Wifi worked great so all was well. The breakfast was simple, typical European but good. Probably wouldn't choose this again.

Does the Confederate battle flag represent heritage or hatred? The answer is yes. It represents a heritage that included hatred.

"it just wouldn't do" for The DAMNyankee Minister of PROPAGANDA to actually LOSE an argument, as the REPUTATION of "the Minister" for PERFECTION must be "utterly seamless & perfect".( sarcasm button: ON!)
free dixie,sw
Pardon me, but your posts are full of it, have always been full of it, and add no value to the discussion.
So, when in the last four months did you decide that you'd been spelling "Wirz" wrong? And was the photo that I posted NOT of his actual grave?
The simplest way to ensure an NS defeat would be to mount a superior argument. You have never done that. The best I have seen thus far has been a technical draw, and that only because the fight centered around an aspect of minutia so small that neither side could locate the factual evidence necessary to definitively prove their contention one way or the other. Naturally, since facts were involved, you were not.
Good luck on the whole rising again thing.
Well I think stand would consider that a horrible piece of libel being compared to me. But I, on the other hand, see a resemblance between you and him. Both of you are given to unproven claims. According to you the Kansas GOP was able to pressure Morrison to file charges but not Kline. According to you Kline is the greatest advocate since Clarence Darrow, but he still couldn't make a case against Tiller. And then there's all those politicians you say Tiller has paid off. Yes, I can see a lot of similarities between the quality of your posts and the quality of his.
And when Tiller has been tried and convicted, and Phill has hit the Operation Rescue rubber-chicken circuit, what will you have to complain about then?
Are we thinking of the same stand watie?

i neither READ (nor care to read) their LIES/VULGARITY or ANSWER them, ever again.

fwiw, don't expect to get FACTS from N-S on any subject. his "stock in trade" (as The DAMNyankee Minister of PROPAGANDA) is : evasions, deceit, 1/2-truths,gossip,opinion passed off as facts, nonsense/bilge & other "diversions from the truth".
fwiw, you'll also never get him to admit that anything he is "selling" is worth-LESS and/or NONSENSE.
he & hillery ROTTEN klintoon have a LOT in common in that regard.

Likewise swattie, I double-dog dare ya.
You remind me of the story of "old Shep".
There once was a boy who had a big ol dog named Shep. Shep was a a nondescript mutt of indistinct parentage, breed and dispossession (of course he loved his Boy, so they made a good team).
One day the dog and his Boy were walking down the street when Shep spied a fine looking poodle and rushed over to make friendly with her. Now the poodle's master didn't take at all kindly to having her carefully coiffed pet taken by any old cur, so she started to swat at ol Shep in a futile effort to run off the beast.
Failing at that, she cried to the Boy, "Boy, can't you do anything to stop this?!" The Boy, who had been watching with amusement thought about it for a moment, went over to Shep, lifted his tail, and inserted his index finger into Shep's bum.
Shep immediately let out a yelp, disengaged himself, and ran off.
The lady regained her composure and asked the lad, "Boy, how did you know to do that?"
The Boy looked at her and replied, "Shucks ma'am, everybody knows that ol Shep likes to dish it out, but he just can't take it"
The point of the whole exercise has been astoundingly easy: treat me with respect and you'll get it in return. Dis me and you'll get it in spades. I can't help it if you can't take it.
You've fallen into a careless and sloppy habit of slandering people and that's probably because you've been allowed to get away with it. There's nothing I can do (or have any inclination to try to do), but I can call you on it, and will.
You would have been well-served to follow through on Highball's advice - don't post to, or about me, and your troubles all go away. Playing that cloying game of "Tell rockrr that he's a poo-poo-head" ain't gonna cut it.
Sprout some nads, get a life, and grow up swattie...
"And I'm not sure what it is that trumped 'no taxation without representation'."
Easy. Lincoln's stated goals sounded the death knell of the Republic. The Constitution did not call for the national government to be pre-eminent and all-powerful. The Constitution set forth the parameters for an equal partnership between the individual states and the United States (i.e., the national government). In some respects, the Constitution established that the national government was subordinate to the states. Lincoln very avidly supported the idea that the states should be subordinate to the national government. He got his wish, and we've suffered ever since. Can you honestly believe that the bloated, incompetent, oppressive national government that we have today bears anything even remotely close to what the Founding Fathers intended and created? Lincoln set the stage for what we have today (and FDR and LBJ expanded on it).
Speaking of the colonies, do you realize the colonials (i.e., British subjects) had far more freedoms than what we have today? The British government in 1775 (I say 1775 because that was when the revolution really began in earnest) was nowhere near as oppressive as our national government today. Maybe it was due to logistics, as Britain was in those days so far away (no modern means of travel), though Britain had its bureaucrats and politicians and military throughout the colonies.
But, the national government is safe, mainly due to the fact the American people (as a generalization) not only have become complacent, and complicit, but they lack the will to do anything serious about their coming servitude. We are ceasing to be citizens, and are becoming subjects. Unfortunately, there is a very good chance a hardcore marxist will be elected president of the United States in November.
Don't misunderstand me. I love my country, and I fought for her and would gladly do so again. But my country is NOT the government! Bill Clinton said there was no distinction between the country and its government, but that was spoken like the true totalitarian socialist he was and is. There is a huge difference between one's country and one's government. My America is the Constitution and the dream of liberty it established. When I was in the Air Force during Vietnam the oath I took was to the Constitution, not to the Nixon Administration, or to Congress, or to any government agency. In my oath I swore to defend the Constitution and obey and follow the lawful orders of my superiors, and that went all the way to the top, and Nixon was my CIC. But my allegiance was not to Nixon. My allegiance was to my country and its Constitution. It still is.
What stated goal was that? Quote please.
Then why didn't the rest of the country threaten to leave I wonder?
We don't know that. As Shelby Foote said, the American Genius was the art of compromise, and this is where both sides failed at this point in history
We do, actually. Look at the fate of the Crittenden Compromise and the Washington Peace Conference. Look at the more outrageous proposals floated by Toombs and Davis and Douglas and Hindman. The first two were compromises that either allowed the expansion of slavery and none went anywhere. Two in the second set were proposals that either allowed the expansion or denied it. They, too, went nowhere though the Corwin amendment most closely resembled Sewards. The Davis, Toombs, and Hindman proposals were surrenders, and never had a chance. In the end none were acceptable to both sides.
Just like the Corwin Amendentment most likely would have.
But the Corwin amendment allowed the government to limit slavery to where it currently existed, and to outlaw its spread to the territories. The confederate constitution guaranteed that slavery would never be limited and that every bit of territory the confederacy acquired would be slave territory. That's the difference between the two, and the difference that the South would not accept.
"There was no right for a state to leave the Union unilaterally."
This was untested at the time. States power wasn't so limited, and under the 10th amendment, federal power was. The argument was settled fairly clearly though.
But to go back and say that states needed a specifically enumerated "right" in the Constitution to secede is sort of ridiculous.
"So since their acts were illegal, that made them a rebellion."
A matter of perspective, and perhaps a distinction without a difference. History calls it "Civil War" southerners proudly called themselves (and some still do) "rebels". I presume that term of endearment has something to do with "rebellion".
If you are arguing that southern heritage is somehow diminished by referring to the Civil War as a rebellion then you'd be wrong - but I'm not sure you are. In fact, I'm not sure why anyone on either side of the Mason-Dixon line should care about the Civil War being also called a "rebellion".
My only regret about the Civil War outcome is the gradual loss of the 10th Amendment - which has allowed the government to grow unchecked ever since the Civil War. I suspect it will take something every bit as traumatic as the Civil War to eventually restore the 10th amendment to it's original intent, if it were to ever happen at all.
Untested, but not unconsidered. Many of the leaders prior to the rebellion believed that secession in any form was not allowed. Madison himself denied that unilateral secession was permitted, but left open the idea of secession with the consent of the states.
A matter of perspective, and perhaps a distinction without a difference. History calls it Civil War southerners proudly called themselves (and some still do) rebels. I presume that term of endearment has something to do with rebellion.
Until early in the 20th century the offical name for the conflict so far as the military was concerned was "War of the Rebellion". I confess to being a traditionalist.
If you are arguing that southern heritage is somehow diminished by referring to the Civil War as a rebellion then youd be wrong - but Im not sure you are. In fact, Im not sure why anyone on either side of the Mason-Dixon line should care about the Civil War being also called a rebellion.
I am not trying to diminish Southern heritage in any way, shape, or form. Unfortunately for many people around here, supporting their Southern heritage requires lying about my Northern heritage. That's what I try and correct.
Beyond its historical accuracy and greater precision, this term has an elegance of expression exceeding that of "Civil War".
On the other hand, "War of Northern Aggression" is not only historically misleading but it has an abrasive ugliness of style. There is also an assumption in the use of this term that "northern aggression" was bad. It was only bad in the same sense that American aggression against Hitler was.
Hooray for northern aggression!
Lest you yankees get too far ahead of yourselves demeaning the South, I call out your obvious jealousy for all things southern as indicated by the "Hitler" reference when discussing the South and the Civil War.
"I am not trying to diminish Southern heritage in any way, shape, or form. Unfortunately for many people around here, supporting their Southern heritage requires lying about my Northern heritage. That's what I try and correct."
You are correcting nothing. The Civil War is still the Civil War, and you are just stirring the pot. That's OK, we like it better here in the South, as you obviously do as well. Why do you think that is?
In no way do I equate the people as property slave regime known as the "Confederate States of America" with the mad genocidal rule of German Nazism. Not quite.
And it's not jealousy, it's contempt. The CSA is one of the best buffoon acts in the pageant of human history.
I try to.
Thats OK, we like it better here in the South, as you obviously do as well. Why do you think that is?
Why do you think I like it better in the South? I've no desire to live there, don't vacation there, and no plans on moving there. I was born and raised in Illinois and currently live in Kansas and I expect that I'll remain here for the rest of my life.
And let me hasten to add that I spent just about all my active duty Navy career, almost 9 years, stationed in the South so it's not like I've never been there. I don't have any bad memories of my time down there, the people I met were nice enough, the place I was stationed at was nice enough as well. But for all that I don't have any desire to return there to live or work. Or anything else.
Why do you like it better in the South? I imagine it's because it's home to you. Why do I have no desire to move there? Because it isn't home to me, and never could be.
Anything else you want to know?
Uh, no. I quoted it. And you have the effrontery to tell me I "breezed right by" it?
Nice herring, btw -- what color was it before you painted it?
The Palmerston government wouldn't recognize the confederacy .....
But they almost went to war over the Trent affair.
They said they wouldn't recognize the Confederacy, like we said we wouldn't recognize Soviet Russia. And we didn't, for a long time.
It'll have to remain a matter of historical conjecture, whether your statement of Palmerston's determination is valid. A Confederate victory at Gettysburg, or a series of them -- Meade would have been expected to wreck his army, to keep the Confederates off Philadelphia -- might have clarified Lord Palmerston's view of the practical side of things. The British are amazingly dry that way.
Invoke Godwin's Law. Game over.
Remember to thank him for playing.
Hello, pouch private. Leading with your chin again?
"And it's not jealousy, it's contempt."
Last time I checked the South was part of America. You are contemptuous of things that are part of you and your history.
"The CSA is one of the best buffoon acts in the pageant of human history."
Lee, as head of the buffoon army is one of the greatest of Americans. Soldiers the world over study his generalship to this day.
So if he was a buffoon, he was OUR buffoon (the big "our" that includes you and me and the rest of America)
So your bitterness and contempt certainly barely masks something - maybe you got a mint julep thrown in your face, who knows - but it really doesn't matter. History has already decided that Lee, Jefferson Davis, Jackson were great Americans. You should aspire to be like them - dedicated to their state and honorable men.
That's a big part of the reason -- the bulk of it, imho -- for the war in the first place.
Whiggery won the contest for the country's agenda, at a cost of a million lives.
Nobody else fought a civil war "to end slavery". Another clue that it wasn't about the slaves, or slavery. It was about wrecking the South to move them out of the way.
When Southerners gave teeth to Manifest Destiny, they went to war with Mexico. The Northerners objected to that war, but they had no problem making war on the South for their own manifest destiny, which was to grab control of the empire that Presidents Jackson and Polk had created.
Anyone who wants to say I'm wrong, needs to explain all those fine Victorian townhouses and apartment buildings around Central Park and up and down Park Avenue and the Chicago Loop. People died, so the Four Hundred could live like gods. So did the Founders' republic.
I apologize for inappropriately presuming the blessing of living in the south. Your tagline threw me off, knowing that area quite well I assumed you were part of the efforts to preserve battlefields around Fredericksburg.
The South is indeed home, and it's history - American history, is awe inspiring. The customs, the love of America, the above average rate of military service, and the independent people that insist on the freedom-deferring governance that is predominant here is a source of pride, an incubator of great leaders, and an excellent model for the rest of America to follow.
I'm sure Kansas is ok, too.
Only in Confederate wet dreams. Sure, there was a lot of grumbling and a few regiments were sent to Canada, but all that really happened is that the British issued a demand for the release of their agents and the US released them. End of story. And the US had made its point. Britain never came as close to recognizing the confederacy again as they had before the Trent affair.
Is that like "free association"? lol
Couldn't resist, sorry.
And in Prince Albert's coffin.
Read some history, dude. The good prince wrecked his health over those diplomatic contortions and exertions to avoid war with the United States.
If anyone "made a point" it was Great Britain.
Albert had been sickly for months by the time the Trent affair came along and was likely already suffering from the typhoid fever that would kill him by that time. All he appears to have done is to write a letter telling Palmerston to tone down his response a bit. Blaming his death on the Trent affair is absurd. Blame it on poor sanitation.
The almost went to war, but they didn't. They came that close to recognizing the confederacy but they didn't. You build your history on might-have-beens and almost-happens.
It'll have to remain a matter of historical conjecture, whether your statement of Palmerston's determination is valid. A Confederate victory at Gettysburg, or a series of them -- Meade would have been expected to wreck his army, to keep the Confederates off Philadelphia -- might have clarified Lord Palmerston's view of the practical side of things.
The British came closest to recognizing the confederacy in the summer of 1862 after Second Bull Run. They were waiting for one more victory, one more sign that the confederacy was a going concern and would probably win their struggle. Then came Antietam and an end to the campaign in the North, and talk was put on hold. Next came Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the chance of recognition ended completely so long as the war continued. Roy Jenkins covers the discussions that occured in his biography of Gladstone. Once Lincoln made slavery an issue then Palmerston made it clear that recognition of a government so closely tied to slavery was impossible. So the confederacy could have won at Gettysburg. They could have racked up several wins after that and British recognition would not have been forthcoming. Not until they actually won their rebellion and forced the Union to recognize them would any recognition every have come from the Palmerston government. And that confederate victory never happened, and would never have happened so long as Lincoln was president.
And when your cohorts like lentulusgracchus haul out their commie references and liberal label and direct them towards those who's only crime is opposing the Southern rebellion, what are they trying to say?
Nobody but the South launched a civil war to protect slavery.
Anyone who wants to say I'm wrong, needs to explain all those fine Victorian townhouses and apartment buildings around Central Park and up and down Park Avenue and the Chicago Loop.
I'm from Chicago. The Loop is a business district. No townhouses.
Let's look at some of the larger import figures for the Port of New York in 1863 (Source: The American Annual Cyclopedia and Register of Important Events of the Year 1863, D. Appleton & Co., New York, pages 192 and 193, published in 1868). Values below are in 1863 dollars, I believe. New York, as you'll remember, was the largest American port for imports by far.
Cotton $13,153,314
Coffee $7,796,635
Drugs, etc. $8,524,030
Guns $2,975,418
Sugars (bbls, boxes) $14,534,552
Tea $6,796,802
Wool $8,538,021
Out of $117,328,929 total
The North was importing cotton and sugar, two products of the South.
From your post 137: "They got little other than agricultural products, mainly cotton, and there was no other source that they could replace it with.
Wool was imported by the Northern mills when they couldn't get enough cotton [Link].
When the Civil War in the 1860s cut the amount of cotton reaching New England mills, the textile companies turned more and more to wool-cloth manufacturing.
Score cotton, sugar and wool as replacement imports for materials that had largely come previously from the South. Those three items total about 30% of the New York imports for 1863. I'm guessing that most of the sugar used by the North had previously come from the South, but don't know for sure. There were 100,000 slaves used by Southern sugar plantations in 1849.
FYI, the drugs, etc., item was mainly drugs and chemicals. It included various medicines and medical treatments of the times (e.g., quinine, iodine, bicarbonate of soda, caster oil, morphine, opium, leeches, Peruvian bark, blue gall, bismuth, camphor). Chemicals included acids, alkali, alum, ammonia, arsenic, potash, saltpeter, phosphorus, sulfur, etc.) The medicines were items blocked from the South by the Northern blockade. The South offered to buy those medicines to use on Northern prisoners in Confederate prisons, but the North refused.
"And when your cohorts like lentulusgracchus haul out their commie references and liberal label and direct them towards those who's only crime is opposing the Southern rebellion, what are they trying to say?"
Ask him. I can only speak for myself, and I didn't say that. Independent thought, word, and deed is a trait often found in Southerners. He'll probably even take responsibility for his words. Taking responsibility is another trait oft found in Southerners in general (and certain Northern governors - but only when caught red-handed).
But at levels which could come nowhere close to accounting for the increase in tariff revenue. Even at the Morrill rates we're talking about less than $5 million. Total duties were over $100 million.
Score cotton, sugar and wool as replacement imports for materials that had largely come previously from the South.
Wool? From the South?
Assuming that any of those medicines would have made it to the Union POWS, they were dying of starvation, exposure, dysentery, and scuvy. All the quinine, iodine, bicarbonate of soda, caster oil, morphine, opium, leeches, Peruvian bark, blue gall, bismuth, and camphor in the world would not have helped them. The South could have cut their death rate by providing food, shelter, and clean water. They didn't.

I suspect it will take something every bit as traumatic as the Civil War to eventually restore the 10th amendment to its original intent, if it were to ever happen at all."
I had posted much the same thing in an earlier comment. The 10th Amendment made clear the states were at loeast equals to the national government, and in some respects, superior to it. The Civil War (a label I think is wholly inaccurate for what transpired) set the stage for the amendments and laws immediately subsequent to it that so emasculated the 10th Amendment as to render it practically meaningless. The Civil War put the blindfold on the 10th Amendment and the 14th Amendment fired the volley that executed it. Since the 14th Amendment the national governemnt and the courts have been poking the corpse with sticks, in further torment. One of the clearest examples of how the 14th Amendment killed the 10th Amendment is Roe v. Wade. Prior to 1973 it was up to the individual states as to how they wanted to address the abortion issue. Roe v. Wade, and the "right of privacy" it pulled out of thin air, held that the states had no say in the matter at all, that abortion was a national right that superseded and trumped any state decisions.

I guess Lincoln thought Lee was a buffoon, as well, which was probably why he had General Scott offer Lee command of all the Union forces. But, Lee believed in the Constitution, and the sanctity of the 10th Amendment, and he declined Scott's offer, saying he could not take up the sword against his home state of Virginia.
"The South is indeed home, and its history - American history, is awe inspiring. The customs, the love of America, the above average rate of military service, and the independent people that insist on the freedom-deferring governance that is predominant here is a source of pride, an incubator of great leaders, and an excellent model for the rest of America to follow."
Amen, brother!
"Wool? From the South?"
Oh, for God's sake. He didn't say "wool from the South." Northern textile mills imported wool from Europe and Canada as a replacement for the cotton they were no longer getting from the South.
"Since the 14th Amendment the national governemnt and the courts have been poking the corpse with sticks, in further torment."
I think the country thirsts for the return of the primacy of states rights except for the specific federal functions enumerated in the Constitution.
This might start to happen when the government defaults on all the promises and obligations it has made to the citizenry. I think this way is possibly the road back to Constitutional sanity. Of course it will take government default on a massive scale and an ensuing economic depression. I used to think this would be highly unlikely, but watching the government interfering in financial markets after causing the problem in the first place - I see this as more possible than ever before.
Once the citizenry realizes the federal government checks aren't coming anymore, they'll look to their states and local governments to lead them. If they have selected leaders wisely and don't depend on someone else to take care of them, they will grow to enjoy the minimalist role of the federal government.
I think the South will fare better than most states in this scenario. The North in general is not as independent minded as a matter of culture - it will be tougher for them.
Don't go throwing a hissy fit.
Which is why Lee said he following, "But I can anticipate no greater calamity for the country than a dissolution of the Union. It would be an accumulation of all the evils we complain of, and I am willing to sacrifice everything but honor for its preservation. I hope therefore, that all constitutional means will be exhausted before there is a recourse to force. Secession is nothing but revolution. The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom and forbearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was intended to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will. It was intended for 'perpetual union' so expressed in the preamble, and for the establishment of a government, not a compact, which can only be dissolved by revolution, or the consent of all the people in convention assembled. It is idle to talk of secession. Anarchy would have been established, and not a government by Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison, and the other patriots of the Revolution. . . ."
Lee knew the Southern actions were illegal. But he chose loyalty to state over loyalty to country and when Virginia joined the rebellion, so did he.

The mixed fried seafood was excellent and so were the pizzas. Was empty when we visited, we were served very quickly. Great stop on our drive along the lake.
You can sit outdoors and be smoked over, or you can sit indoors and have to put up with piped music. The "mineral water" for 2.5 Euro was out of a tap, so if you really want mineral water choose "con gaz".
The Caprese salad had five thin slices of tomato and it sat on a bed of lettuce with...
Recommended. Went here in peak season for an evening meal and managed to get a table quickly without a booking. Very good food and friendly staff.
Lovely little place on the lake edge, in the gorgeous small town of Castelletto. At first it looks a bit like a tourist trap, but it really is anything but!
The waiters are absolutely lovely, it felt like we had specialised service and that we were the only ones in the restaurant.
We had Luca's own red wine, which was...

To inquire about a custom tour or event, send us an email or call us toll-free at (877) 474-1117.
A Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery-powered electric vehicle invented by Dean Kamen. The name Segway is a homophone of the word segue, meaning smooth transition. Computers, gyroscopic sensors and motors keep the Segway upright. You command the Segway to go forward by leaning forward, and backward by leaning backward. To turn, simply press the handlebar to the left or the right. Movement is so smooth and intutive that we call it gliding.
You must be at least 14 years of age and weigh between 100 and 260 lbs. All guests under 18 must be accompainied on the tour by a parent or guardian. No exceptions!
Our address is 36R Bank Street. The "R" stands for rear, because our entrance is actually on South Water Street, opening onto the municipal parking lot. We are across from the Amtrak train station, next to Muddy Waters Cafe and under The Old Roadhouse.
Yes! Our entire regular season calendar is online and that is the best and easiest way to book. Online booking is available up to 22 hours in advance of the tour time. If you are interested in a private or custom tour, call us or send us an email.
Maybe :) Online booking closes 22 hours in advance of the tour, but there may still be space available. Call us at (877) 474-1117 and if there is space, we'll get you gliding!
Wear clothes that match the weather, nothing too loose or hanging. Choose sensible shoes; the more support your shoes have, the happier your feet will be. Sneakers or running shoes are highly recommended. No flip flops, no sandals, no high heels, no kidding!
Apply sunscreen, and bring sunglasses, but hats are not recommended since you must wear a helmet. You can bring your own bicycle helmet or use one of ours.
You are not allowed to use any type of electronic device while on the Segway. No texting, calling, photo taking, email. Nothing! Our tour leaders take photos for you while on tour which will all be available online, and are included in the price of the tour. Time permitting, tour leaders can also take pictures of you using your own phone or camera.
All tours are at least one hour from the beginning of the tour (after the training and paperwork are complete).
There is no need to arrive before the time stated. Check-in and training time is built into the schedule. For example, if your one hour tour is scheduled for 10:00 am, you should arrive by 10:00. Check-in and training usually take between 30 and 45 minutes, and since the tour itself is a full one hour long, you will be out on your Segway Adventure until between 11:30 and 11:45 am.
Yes. There are no refunds for cancellations or no-shows. Whether you change your mind due to weather, or because your plans have changed, you are still responsible for your reservation and will be charged the full amount. If for any reason Wheeling City Tours has to cancel the tour, you will receive a full refund.
We glide rain or shine! Segways run well in all weather, and our tours go out in bright sunshine, light rain, or fog. In the case of heavy rain, we will work with you to reschedule, based on availability.
From time to time, due to circumstances beyond our control, we may be unable to access a particular landmark along our usual tour routes. For example, we may be blocked by construction, unusually dense traffic, an accident, or a special event. When these things happen, we do our best to reroute the tour to keep it interesting and fun. Lucky for us, New London has abundant history and many cool things to see, so no matter what, you will have fun on your glide around New London! In rare circumstances, the speed of a tour could be so slow that we will be unable to get to some sights within the allotted time. Due to our schedule, and the battery life of the Segways, we may be unable to extend such a tour beyond the one hour.
If you cannot commit to the 48 hour cancellation policy, we do not suggest you book a reservation. Once a reservation is booked, you are subject to our 48 hour cancellation policy.
Segway riding is not recommended for pregnant women. Unfortunately, pregnant guests will not be permitted to participate due to fall risk.
The maximum number of guests we can accommodate in one tour is currently 10, and that number is rising all the time! Regular tours start with between 6-8 available spots, of which some may be already taken. The online booking system will show the number of available spots for each tour date/time. But if there does not appear to be enough space on a tour you're interested in, call or email because we may be able to accommodate you.
There is a small municipal lot with free parking right outside the shop, as well as free on street parking on South Water Street. Alternatively, the Water Street Garage is just a block away.
Sure! Come by train, bus or ferry! We're right across the street from Amtrak's NLC station and on all SEAT bus routes at the "Water Street" stop. Ferries to/from Block Island, Fishers Island and Long Island are all nearby.
We do not rent Segways. All of our tours include a tour leader and narration. Book a tour - it's fun!
No, gratuities are not included as we want to keep the tours affordable for as many guests as possible. Gratuities are completely at the discretion of the guest. If you think your tour leader did a fantastic job and want to give her/him a tip, great! It will be much appreciated.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I got a red light ticket and I do not mind paying the ticket and I am eligible for traffic school. Do I have to go to traffic school so that this ticket won't go to my insurance record??
It is a good idea to keep the point off your record. There are so many online traffic schools that make it easy to do. I would first set it for trial, and ask that the charge be amended to a non-point violation. Good luck!
You do not have to do traffic school. Some of my clients choose not to do traffic school. It will probably save you some money in keeping your insurance rates from increasing but the choice is yours to make.
Speeding / Traffic Ticket Lawyer
People take traffic school to keep the point for the red light violation off their record so their insurance rates do not increase. I would suggest calling your insurance and asking how much your insurance rates will increase if you get that point.
Speeding / Traffic Ticket Lawyer
The answer to your question is YES! You need to take traffic school to keep point off record.
