"I am pleased, not just to have been invited to speak at the conclusion of this Conference, I am pleased, above all, that this Conference is taking place. One of the speakers concluded his remarks asking whether this Conference could have taken place at all before the Vatican Council and the presumption is that it could not have taken place. I would add to such an Anglican presumption, this time almost with a touch of Catholic infallibility, that it is most likely that such a conference could not have taken place before Vatican II, but with certainty it could not have taken place here in Trinity College Dublin.
I am pleased that this Conference has been opened by Archbishop Michael Jackson and that it seems quite natural to all that it be closed by the Roman Catholic Archbishop. I wish to express my particular appreciation for the fact that the principal theological Conference on the 50th anniversary of Vatican II here in this capital city is one organised by the Anglican Church.
In this context I would also like to put on record the support that the Catholic Church received on the occasion of last year's International Eucharistic Congress. For the first time in the history of such a Congress the opening day was devoted to our common baptism and was led by representatives of different Christian Churches thus permitting the other Christian Churches to be present not just as guests and visitors but as full and equal participants. Something that passed less noticed was the manner in which the leaders of the other Churches rejoiced at the success of what was an event of the Catholic Church and at the renewal of the Catholic Church in Ireland. True ecumenism rejoices at the successes of the other.
There is a wide awareness of the fact that the relationship between the two Archbishops here in Dublin is one of friendship. I have been greatly supported in difficult moments in my ministry by the friendship of two Anglican Archbishops. I have experienced a true form of deep ecumenical friendship. But no matter how important that friendship is for me and how it is recognised by members of both our communities, the real importance in our relationship, as Archbishop Michael noted in his remarks this morning, is our common sense of mission: a sense of common mission and of common witness to the message of Jesus Christ. Archbishop Michael spoke of a "shared adventure", a common search for the apposite language to bring the message Jesus Christ to our society and for the good of our society.
This conference should be looked at as another forward-looking step on a common path into the future in the dialogue between our common faith in Jesus Christ and our modern culture, recognising our common baptism but also being acutely aware that today for many baptized Christians their faith remains marginal to their lives and the life of society.
A few years ago Cardinal Walter Kasper, then President of the Holy See's Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, published a small book called "Harvesting the Fruits". Its aim was to gather together and examine the fruits of the ecumenical dialogues between the Roman Catholic Church and a variety of other Christian Churches and to take stock of where the fruits of these dialogues are today.
I believe that perhaps the time is ripe that we in Ireland ought to undertake a similar review of where we are in our ecumenical relations. We need to do so in order to understand better the path forward. It is not just a question of theological dialogues concerning historical theological differences, but the challenge of how we face the future together. This dialogue has hardly begun.
Much has taken place in the relationship between our Churches in these past fifty years since the opening of Vatican II. I remember my early days in the seminary at Clonliffe College fifty years ago, especially at this particular time of year, because in 1963 Ireland was in the midst of one of the bleakest winters for decades and Clonliffe was a very cold place in more ways than one. I came to formation filled with ideals, not always entirely clear, and found myself in an atmosphere which was not quite what I was expecting.
My memory is of a building and a routine, a discipline and a way of life which seemed to have been like that for decades. Even to someone who was not a revolutionary, it all seemed so out of touch with the world from which I had just come, and in which my friends were thriving. But you were not supposed to think that way. Things were to be done as they had always been done. The Catholic Church was unchanging.
We were allowed to watch the opening of the Council on television. We were interested but perhaps not excited and not too sure what the Council really was about. I remember earlier, when the Council was announced, we had begun to hold debates in school about the Council and especially about a possibility of which Pope John XXIII had spoken: of the Council attaining Christian Unity. I must say that the good Catholic education I had received equipped me well to successfully debate against any such ideas.
Our Churches lived in separate compartments. Mixed marriages were considered by Catholics not just a challenge to Catholic numbers, but a danger to the faith. Even entering a Protestant Church was a danger to the faith! Christian Unity meant that Protestants converted. We were not just divided religiously but socially. My mother thought she had been successful in getting job early in the twentieth century only to find that her future employer, highly embarrassed, had to come to her and say that a problem had emerged: "Miss Mullen I am really sorry, but I always thought you were Church of Ireland".
But there were ups and downs in relationships. I find in my archives many references to the regular presence of my predecessor Archbishop William J. Walsh here in Trinity College and of the Provost of Trinity College in Archbishop's House. When Archbishop Byrne died in 1940 the Church of Ireland Archbishop was among the early callers to express his sympathy. We were polite but very much living in separate compartments and the protestant community in particular must have felt threatened by the emerging cultural dominance of the Roman Catholic Church as Ireland began to identify itself as a "Catholic country". The separate compartments became more tightly sealed.
But let me come back to my seminary days as the Second Vatican Council began its course. Within months, the Council began to fascinate me. The reading in the refectory in the seminary was Abbot Cuthbert Butler's "History of the [First] Vatican Council" and that helped me to understand something of what a Council was and the manner in which doctrinal and pastoral challenges were faced in truly robust discussions at Vatican I. We tend to overlook the fact that Vatican I was anything but monolithic.
That book was followed by The Council and Reunion, by Hans Kung, which we listened to in the refectory with attention and fascination and then went to our weekly conference with our spiritual director who denounced the book as near heresy. Robust discussion was coming alive again in the Catholic Church even in Archbishop McQuaid's seminary.
Over these past months I have been reading a number of books published to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Vatican II. I came across an interesting recent interview with the then private secretary of Pope John XXIII, Archbishop Loris Capovilla, who is still alive today. He recounts how Pope John had been thinking of a Council from the very first days after his election. Pope John was a man of intuition and was not afraid to think boldly.
His announcement of a Council, made during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, just three months after his election, caused surprise and not a little anxiety among some of his collaborators in the Vatican. Pope John was anxious, but his notes show that his initial conversations with the few influential Cardinals with whom he shared his intentions before he announced the Council were actually positive, especially the reaction of the Secretary of State, Tardini, whose support was vital. There are times when consultations about bold decisions work much better when bold decisions have already been taken.
It was remarkable at the recent Synod of Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church which also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Vatican Council, to see the normality of the participation at the Synod of the successors of Archbishop Fisher and Patriarch Athenagoras, Archbishop Rowan Williams and Patriarch Bartholomew and their evidently fraternal relations with Pope Benedict.
At the Synod, Archbishop Rowan Williams gave a remarkable reflection on the Church fifty years after Vatican II. He recalled how the Second Vatican Council did so much "for the health of the Church and helped the Church to recover so much of the energy needed to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ effectively in our age".
Fifty years after the Council, we are called to reflect on how we can derive and use the energy needed to proclaim the Good News effectively in a world which has changed so much. Archbishop Williams noted: "For so many of my own generation, even beyond the boundaries of the Roman Catholic Church, that Council was a sign of great promise, a sign that the Church was strong enough to ask itself some demanding questions about whether its culture and structures were adequate to the task of sharing the Gospel with the complex, often rebellious, always restless mind of the modern world".
The Council began by allowing many of the right questions to emerge. They are the perennial questions which as the Church of Jesus Christ we have to ask generation after generation. Rather than be trapped in our certainties and the safe comfort zones of our denominations, we have to see that promise comes when we have the strength to ask if our denominational culture and structures and the quality of our ecumenical relationships are adequate to the task of sharing the Gospel with the men and women with whom we live.
When I was a student of theology in Dublin in the 1960's there was one word that was not in great use. It was the word "risk". Risk could involve rocking the boat. As a member of the Catholic community risk would be linked with uncertainty – and the Catholic tradition seemed to have no need to reflect on that, we had all the certainties. Risk could even mean irresponsibly leading yourself open to uncertainties, to an occasion of sin!
Faith and life are both about risk. Christian faith is about risk because it requires us to take that leap into a certainty of faith which requires changing our way of thinking, of trusting in God's love rather than in the tangible securities of day to day life. Opening to others requires the ability to take risk and to experience the joy of expressing trust.
How do we share our Christian faith in the culture of our time? When we talk about the presence of the Church in contemporary culture and in the modern world, we are tempted to speak about how the Church should be present in the structures of the politics and the economics of the modern word, especially through social analysis and social commentary. We would talk also about reform of Church structures and forms of ministry. Archbishop Rowan Williams began with God and how we come to understand God and enter into a relationship with God. In a world in which human advancement is high on our daily agenda he chose to speak of "self-forgetfulness".
Anxious, busy, competitive and controlling! This brings me to some reflections on words of Pope Francis. As yet we have no great collection so his thoughts. His manner of presenting himself and his ministry is not one which has up to now been marked by lengthy, scholarly academic discussions. His vocabulary is simply and he tends to come back to some of the same words which express his sentiments. When on Holy Thursday he washed the feet of young prisoners in a Roman detention centre his homily was simply of ten lines.
One of the most interesting and indicative comment was that made at the congregation of the Cardinals just before the Conclave reflecting on the role of the new Pope and on the future of the Church. It was a single handwritten page. The dominant word was la periferia: "the outskirts". He said simply that the Church is called boldly to come out of herself and go towards the outskirts, not only of place but also to the outskirts of our existence; those of the mystery of sin, those of suffering, of ignorance; the outskirts of indifference to religion of thought and of all wretchedness. And he added when the Church does not come out of herself to evangelise she becomes auto-referential and so shuts herself in. "The evils which as time passes afflict ecclesial institutions are rooted in self-reference, a sort of theological narcissism". I spoke earlier of how things were to be done as they had always been done. One key to understanding the mismanagement of the recent child abuse scandals in the Roman Catholic Church is precisely what happens when a Church becomes auto-referential.
Pope Francis notes that we at times feel that the failures in our evangelising efforts are due to the fact that so many in today's world do not hear the call of Jesus; that when Jesus knocks on our doors we do not let him in. The Pope counters that by adding: "we also fail at times when Jesus knocks from within and we do not let him out. The self referential Church keeps Jesus within her and does not let him out A self referential Church believes that she is her own light and stops being a witness to the [true light]".
Today our societies have radically changed. The pace of social, scientific and political change is increasing. This means on one side that risk is today part and parcel of the way we live and the range of choices that are open to us. It may also mean that in the face of the rapidity and uncertainty of change we may become fearful in new ways and reject the risk that is necessary to really hope and to translate our hope into a meaning reality in our lives.
Bringing the message of Jesus Christ to the outskirts of our society inevitably involves – to use another key word of Pope Francis's thought – breaking out. It involves breaking out from ourselves to follow Christ, breaking out from a tired faith based on pure habit and breaking out from being imprisoned in our own dissatisfactions and frustrations which only impede the creative action of God working in and through us.
Faith frees. Faith liberates. Preoccupation with ourselves alone enslaves. A Church which is not riddled through and through with real and enthusiastic commitment to Jesus Christ will be an empty self-serving, self-referential organisation to which no one will be attracted.

Pune: PCMC announces more relaxations, shops to operate till 7 pm, restaurants and bars till 10 pm from Monday
The PCMC has also allowed non-essential industries to operate with 50 per cent capacity. However, industries have criticised the PCMC move barring workers from using PMPML buses.

Pune city will continue to fall under Level 3 of the five-level unlockdown plan of the state government. The curfew will be in place after 5 pm every day and there will be restrictions on the movement of public without valid reason.
Even though the Covid-19 positivity rate in the region has not come to below 5 per cent, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has decided to permit a few more relaxations on curbs, allowing all essential and non-essential shops to operate till 7 pm and restaurants and bars to remain open till 10 pm.
The PCMC has also allowed non-essential industries to operate with 50 per cent capacity. However, industries have criticised the PCMC move barring workers from using the state-run PMPML buses.
The revised directives, issued by Municipal Commissioner Rajesh Patil, will come into effect on June 21, Monday.
The PCMC chief's directives said weekend lockdown on Saturdays and Sundays will continue. "All shops will remain open till 7 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, the weekend lockdown will continue with only essentials shops being allowed to remain open. Restaurants and bars will remain open with 50 per cent capacity till 10 pm," the directives said.

Additional Municipal Commissioner Vikas Dhakane said, "The positivity rate is on the border, meaning it is 5.01 per cent. The orders will come into effect from Monday. By that time, we expect the positivity rate to come down below 5 per cent."
PCMC officials said the decision to relax the restrictions was taken amid pressure from shopkeepers and hoteliers who were facing heavy losses. "Shopkeepers and hoteliers who run their places on rent were incurring heavy losses due to the partial closure. They were desperately pleading with us to relax the restrictions on humanitarian grounds," said Dhakane.
However, Dhakane said the civic administration will keep a close watch on the positivity rate. "If the rate goes beyond 7-10 per cent, we will immediately bring in tighter restrictions. We will be keeping a close watch (on the situation) in view of the possibility of a third wave," he said.
According to the new directives, non-essential industries will be allowed to operate at 50 per cent capacity, besides essential industries, export-oriented and continuous-process industries.
However, the civic body's decision to make it compulsory for non-essential industries to ensure that workers commute to work in office vehicles instead of PMPML (Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited) buses has not gone down well will industry bodies. "Not every small scale industry can afford to make special arrangement for vehicles. This decision is unacceptable," said Sandeep Belsare, president of Pimpri-Chinchwad Small Scale Industries Association.

Car Review: 2017 Kia Sportage
by NNPAFreddie April 8, 2016 October 30, 2020
The 2017 Kia Sportage can be equipped with a forward collision warning system, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, which can detect a potential collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian.
By Frank S. Washington (AboutThatCar.com)
SAN DIEGO – The new Kia Sportage is a little bit longer and the wheels are now pushed to the corners. The tiger nose grille was lowered, the headlights were longer and they were pulled back into the fenders. There were also wrap around taillights. And in what is a becoming a brand signature, the ice cube LED fog lights on the turbo powered Sportage seemed bigger, thus, they were more prominent.
It was as though the sheet metal was pulled tightly over the front of the chassis. It gave this new Sportage a distinctive face. Kia called it "tension." Wheels at the corners meant the 2017 Kia Sportage had short overhangs and that made the 17-, 18- or 19-inch wheels look bigger.
What's more, wheels at the corner gave the vehicle a wider stance, which translated into better road stability. We needed it on the two lane mountain highways as we headed to the La Casa Del Zorro Resort in Borrego Springs, California.
The driving dynamics of the new Kia Sportage have been improved. Increased body stiffness meant less chassis twisting on winding two lane roads like CA-78 and CA-79. The vehicle was steady; the steering was true and bigger brakes increased stopping power for those times when we were moving too fast to make tight turns.
The 2017 Sportage is equipped with the third generation of UVO. It supports Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The infotainment system features 14 telematics services at no charge. It has 8 GB of music storage and access to Pandora and it has a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. The touchscreen is now capacitive. Standard is a 120 watt six speaker audio system The premium setup had 320 watts, eight speakers including a subwoofer, an external amplifier and Clari-FiTM9, music restoration technology.
Of course, there was Bluetooth, a navigation system, satellite radio, auxiliary and USB jacks as well as ports for 12 volt powered accessories.
The sounds were good, but so was the interior space. Any way you look at or measure it, the 2017 Kia Sportage's interior was more comfortable than the outgoing model. Headroom and legroom were increased, not by much but more is always better. The second row floor was lowered Kia said enabling more headroom but we think it made getting into the back seat easier too. And the lift gate will open automatically, when equipped, if the Kia senses the key fob within three feet of the rear. That makes putting stuff in the back when hands are full easier.
The interior was also clean. The seats felt really good; they cradled the body like mittens. The dash seemed lower and that created an airy feeling. The infotainment screen was the only thing on the dash creating a minimalist look. Controls like the radio, media, phone, heated steering wheel etc. were below. Though it was not the case, each row of buttons appeared a little further in than the row it preceded, it was a cascading effect and nicely done. The interestingly fresh look did not resemble a center stack.
Soft touch material was used on the dash and the doors. Not only was it tactilely pleasant it also helped with sound deadening. It was pretty quiet drive.
There are three trim levels of the Sportage and buyers can choose from two different engines. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder makes 181 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder made 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions and all trim lines come in front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive.
The 2.4-liter engine with FWD gets 23 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg combined. We had the 2.0 liter AWD Sportage with paddle shifters on the way to lunch. It was rated at 20 mpg in the city, 23 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg combined. We also had the FWD version on the way back. It was rated at 21 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg combined.
Each had a computer readout that showed the AWD Sportage got 21.1 mpg during our test drive while the FWD Sportage got 22.1 mpg halfway through the drive back. It didn't seem that the Sportage's mileage was all that good given that it was a four-cylinder engine, even though we drove aggressively and the price of any turbo is added fuel consumption.
Kia said the Sportage's equipment added weight that kept the mileage numbers lower. Our other quibble was that there was a blind spot behind the C pillar.
Four cylinder vehicles are no longer putt-putt cars. The 2017 Kia Sportage can be equipped with a forward collision warning system, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, which can detect a potential collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian and lane departure warning, which emits an audible alert when it detects the driver straying from the current lane without using a turn signal.
There was more: blind spot detection with lane change assist, which can monitor cars up to 230 feet behind the Sportage and provide the driver with a visual warning in the door mirror when another car enters the blind spot, rear cross traffic alert, which can warn the driver if other cars passing behind the Sportage while in reverse, front and rear parking assist, which uses sonar sensors integrated in the bumpers to warn the driver when nearing other vehicles or objects while parking, Bi-HID headlights with dynamic bending light and high beam assist technology.
This stuff is not made of air. It makes the driving experience safer and more pleasant. But the software and the hardware add to the weight of any vehicle and that affects mileage.
Oh, we almost forgot that with the AWD 2.0-liter engine is rated at 237 horsepower. Torque remained the same. This all-wheel-drive system is 100-percent rear-wheel-drive on dry pavement but it can send all of the torque to front wheels if needed. It also has a 50-50 locking differential.
The Sportage can tow 2,000 lbs. with trailer brakes. That drops to 1,650 lbs. without trailer brakes. The panoramic roof was bigger and the side-view mirrors were mounted lower on the doors for clearer sight lines.
From front to back, there was improvement, after improvement, after improvement in the 2017 Kia Sportage. The LX and the EX FWD models start at $22,990 and $25,500 respectively. The LX and EX AWD models start at $24,490 and $27,000 respectively. And the top of the line SX Turbo FWD and AWD start at $32,500 and $34,000 respectively. None of the base prices include freight charges.

The Young Nonprofit Professionals Network of Chicago (YNPN Chicago) was founded in 2001 to provide support and resources for young professionals working in the local nonprofit community. YNPN Chicago has since become Chicago's leading organization to connect and develop nonprofit professionals in order to strengthen local charitable and philanthropic efforts and maximize their impact on social change. We are operated and governed by a volunteer Executive Board and supported by community partners.
YNPN Chicago was born out of the knowledge that there are not enough opportunities for young nonprofit professionals in Chicago to interact, share best practices, or receive social and professional support. As a result, nonprofit workers burn out, and nonprofit organizations lose gifted future leaders. YNPN Chicago works to fill that gap. Through accessible trainings, meetings, and social gatherings, young professionals are given a chance to make connections with each other, discuss issues that impact them, and help create a stronger Chicago nonprofit community. We focus on the advancement of young talent in the nonprofit sector through a thematic catalogue of programs on relevant topics that meet the needs of young professionals at various states of their careers.


It is the first day of October. The beginning of a very active month in my circle. Football season is in full swing. Virtually everyone in Alabama has picked a side. We will celebrate the coming of my first grandson. My best friend is getting married. A very busy month.
October is Breast Cancer awareness month. Many of us will take this time to acknowledge and commemorate those who have fought and are still fighting the insidious disease; breast cancer.
Many of you will gather along with countless others to "Race For The Cure" at numerous fundraising walk/runs around the country. As a survivor, this means a lot to me on a very personal level. Not only is October Breast Cancer Awareness month, but I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October, 2010. It has been six years since diagnosis and five years since I completed treatment. Something to shout about, I'd say.
As a survivor, I feel I have a responsibility to speak out and remind others that this disease can attack anyone. Cancer does not discriminate. I also want my presence to serve as a reminder that a cancer diagnosis is no longer an automatic death sentence. We are still fighting for a cure through research and education.
This year I have decided that I will donate a portion of the profits from all sales of Dreams Of Tamar during October, to breast cancer research/awareness.
If you make your purchase during October, your purchase will help increase breast cancer awareness. If you would like to join in our efforts to support breast cancer research/awareness, you can purchase a copy of Dreams Of Tamar online at amazon.com books or at the createspace estore. We are currently enabling our website, palmarborpress.com to take online orders for signed copies of this insightful novel.

People are feeling the love between these straight, best friends
By David Hudson September 14, 2020 at 9:09am · 22 comments
(Photo: Honeybee's Photography)
When a woman posted a series of photos to social media of her fiancé and his best friend last week, she had little idea how they would strike a chord with so many.
"How hilarious is this session?" said Kait Lewis, who recently launched her photo portrait service: Honeybee's Photography. "My fiancé's bestie came to town so I jumped at the opportunity to capture their *unique* friendship!"
The two men are both straight and have known each other since eighth grade. Lewis' fiancé, Devon, is the one with the beard.
? VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED ?How hilarious is this session? My fiancé's bestie came to town so I jumped at the…
Posted by Honeybee's Photography on Monday, September 7, 2020
The men were photographed wearing similar clothing, holding hands, and pouring beer into each other's mouths. Lewis added a lighthearted suggestion that beer company Busch sponsor the photos.
Within a couple of days, the photos had prompted thousands of reactions and comments.
Most applauded the shoot.
"This is definitely hilarious and I love it," said one well-liked comment. "Don't get caught up in the haterade — you don't need their money and they wouldn't give it to you anyway. Well done!!! BFFs are well worth documenting and your shoot production is spot on."
"This is amazing!" said another woman. "My husband and his best friend would totally take photos like this because… surprise! They love each other and are comfortable in their sexuality."

Some questioned why Lewis had added a 'viewer discretion' warning at the start of her post.
"I LOVE these photos!" said one gay man. "It's important to show two men can have a friendship like this and it be completely okay. Disappointed in the "viewer discretion advised". I saw that you said you're a family-friendly business, but if this were a male-female couple, or two female friends the advisory wouldn't be there. As a gay man, I'm disappointed because it only perpetuates male physical contact as inappropriate which encourages fragile masculinity and homophobia."
Comments like this prompted Lewis to add a clarification to her original posting.
"The viewer discretion was added because I am a family-friendly photographer and the sexual posing and alcohol needed to be warned to AVOID offending people. It has nothing to do with the genders.
"Everybody's interpretation on what is sexual and what is not is very different. TO ME, some of the photos are out of my normal comfort zone, and that's all that matters. I stand by the advisory and will not be removing it. I wasn't anticipating this post to reach 6,000,000+ people in a matter of 2 days.
"This photoshoot was meant for fun. His bestie lives five hours away and we only see him a few times a year. We wanted to have a good time while he was visiting.
"If you are offended by ANY of this (the photos or the caption), feel free to keep scrolling!"
Some people began to post their own photos of straight men hugging or showing affection to their besties.
Lewis is based in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. She told Queerty she's only been taking photographs for the past month.
"My fiancé and I are having an elopement-style wedding on top of a Mesa in Utah, and in looking for a photographer of our own, it sparked an interest for me! A few years ago I bought a DSLR as an impulse Black Friday buy but I never used it until now. After 23 years of having absolutely no talent, I think I've finally found my niche."

She says she met her fiancé a year and a half ago and, "fell in love immediately. We've since traveled most of the USA and plan to continue our life of travel for as long as we can. We have two dogs and a beautiful little home with a great view of the mountains. We just got engaged on June 12th, 2020, and are getting married on April 10th, 2021."
She says she was "shocked" when the post went viral, but that she and her fiancé have enjoyed reading all the comments (over 13,000 at the time of writing). She believes it's important to capture moments like this between friends and loved ones.
"I never anticipated so many people seeing Devon in daisy dukes. I mainly posted it to give our friends and family a good laugh. When the numbers kept rising and rising we were just in awe.
"We wanted to show that it's perfectly okay to show intimacy with your best friend, regardless of your gender… and have a good laugh, because it was fun to do so!"
"Some objections of the photos included my caption in giving a "viewer discretion advised" warning. I have since edited my caption to explain the meaning behind this but I stood my ground, still believe it is necessary, and will not be removing it.
"People initially thought I added the advisory because the photos were of two men, which is not the case. I added the advisory because I am a family-friendly photographer. Some of the photos suggest oral sex positions, as well as include alcohol. I posted it to avoid offending anybody who may not want to view that. Since I've said this, people are still unhappy, saying that they don't think some of the photos are sexual. To me, that is subjective … For the most part, the LGBTQ community has been so loving and supportive over the post."

Unlike some photographers, Lewis also wanted to reassure people she'd be very happy to shoot same-sex couples and weddings.
"Absolutely!" she told Queerty. "People who refuse clients for any reason regarding who they love is beyond me. It's baffling, disgusting, and downright ridiculous. The sex of the people getting married makes no difference to me."

Cute photos – I thought the warning was a joke.

It's unfortunate that almost any type of male affections are still automatically tied to "gay" and that people are still so uncomfortable towards them. However, just as unfortunate is "gay" still being promoted as mostly about attractions and sexual behaviors when for many folks who indulge same-sex relationships or embrace a "gay" identity it's about affections, comfort, desired affirmation, romantic inclinations, emotional investment, relationship contentment than sex or attractions.
There is little doubt however that these photos were designed to capture a certain type of aesthetic and get a certain type of attention.

My advice to the wife, whatever you do, do NOT get them drunk together!
BlueStateMan
Sorry, but when you pose with your hand over another guy's crotch? Something else is going on here I don't care how much the girlfriend and/or boyfriend denies it.
We don't know these people. But it's apparent the photos are meant to capture some homo-erotic/homo-romantic nature. And they were aware of what they were doing when they posted them. Whether a joke or not, they were aware of what they were doing.

"I LOVE these photos!" said one gay man. "It's important to show two men can have a friendship like this and it be completely okay.
NO this is queer baiting…this is not straight dudes who are friends…this is sexualizing themselves for some purpose…I have many straight friends and NONE of them think this is "friendship". as one friend shared…these guys would not like it if a gay man came up to them and assumed that they were gay without possible violence happening and I agree….it is pandering and almost as bad as "blackface"…
richybruce
He's got two beards. One on his face, and his fiancé.
Amen. Those two are the poster guys for Texas Bear Round Up.

What's that meme of the two metrosexual/hipster guys jumping in tandem unison with the text ?

We're not terribly far from where male-male physical interaction was used as a punchline, and the two friends almost seem to be playing into it, holding hands together, posing suggestively with one pouring a beer down the other's throat. Knowing the intention and context behind the pictures helps, but even so, it can't help but bring up memories of all the times the dudes dressed up as chicks at pep rallies for big laughs.
They don't seem to be trying to be homophobic or ignite "gay panic" humor. But it is kinda cheesy and attention-whore-y. It's very much a classic example of "gay baiting" and using homo-affections, homo-eroticism and homo-romanticism purely for attention and sensationalism. And unfortunately, even many "queers" still do that, especially ones who are hetero-leaning or not in homo relationships. It's not just the supposed "straights" who are problematic on that front. Like I mentioned before, all the parties involved knew what they were doing. It doesn't at all make them bad people though.

…obviously amped up and staged for grins and just fun. …relax
sfojeff
SURE they're straight. Like me and my boyfriend……
Mamesboy
Sorry. I think this was totally offensive.
So they made fun of gay men by their dress, their sexual poses. The whole thing was a mockery. I don't care what you write and think they were doing, they were ridiculing
Gay men.
I don't think they're trying to "ridicule" anyone or make fun of "gays". But supposedly "straight" guys using gay stereotypes, homo-eroticism and homo-romanticism as mostly a joke to get attention does make me uncomfortable. First, there's still a ton of "straight"/hetero-leaning obsession out here. This plays into that type of privilege and paraphiliac. While some act as if it's somehow "brave" for "straight" guys to "act gay". That perspective needs to die. Secondly, I'm just tired of semi queerness or homo affections/eroticism/romanticism being used on social media to get likes and views. These pics aren't really that big of deal, but they do speak to a larger problem.
GayEGO
Hey! Bro loves are good loves. My love is a gay love, we were together 57 years, married 15 years, and my husband passed away last year! Of course we had some….ahem….private stuff together!
They live five hours apart and only see each other a few times a year, says the naive young finance. I don't think so. A more realistic way to think about the distance is: A 2 & 1/2 drive for each to a cheap roadside motel.

Joan Baez – Any Day Now
by Debbie Clark
Joan Baez' 10th album, Any Day Now was released in 1968 and marked her return to the folk genre she had put aside for the two preceding albums. Baptism– which came out earlier that same year – was an album of both sung and spoken poetry, and 1967's Joan contained folk renditions of pop and rock n' roll songs by artists like John Lennon and Paul McCartney and Paul Simon.
However, Any Day Now was not only a return to standard folk but was also a departure from the traditional folk songs that had made up the tracks on Baez' earliest albums. This album is her first to be made up completely of contemporary folk songs – written in this case by Bob Dylan. In his AllMusic review of Any Day Now,Thom Jurek wrote that this album was an "an intensely inspirational and creative peak" for Baez and established her as the best interpreter of Bob Dylan's music – although that had already been hinted at on earlier albums. He writes, "Her empathy for the material, her keen understanding of Dylan's sound world, and her own glorious voice brought another dimension to these 16 songs and, if anything, extended their meanings."
Like her musical protégé Dylan, Baez was known for social activism, and 1968 was full of social upheaval. The Tet offensive began, signaling the beginning of the end of the Vietnam war, and Martin Luther King's assassination, the Olympic civil rights demonstration by medalists Tommie Smith and John Carlos, and TV's first interracial kiss all happened within months of each other. Perhaps these events prompted Baez – who had refused to perform in segregated venues, had marched with Dr. King in Grenada, Mississippi, in '66 and had been arrested for blocking the entrance to an military induction center in '67 – to record and release this album of songs by an artist known for his protest songs even though she had already released an album that year.
The instrumentation and arrangements of the songs on Any Day Now are unobtrusive and spare. Uncomplicated drum rhythms, piano, the occasional violin and even an organ at times back up Baez and her guitar, and the simple strumming patterns allow her to accompany herself and focus on the words she's singing. In this album, instrumentation and accompaniment take a backseat to Baez' rich, clear soprano and the wordplay, metaphors and turns of phrase typical of Dylan. And there is a lot of content in the lyrics. Few songs have choruses, instead they have a one- or two-line refrain or simply go straight on to the next verse.
But there are always exceptions. Any Day Now closes with two songs that are similar in message but wildly different in tone. "Walkin' Down the Line" flips the script on the structure and style of songs: The guitar playing is more complex, the lyrics are simpler, and the tempo is one of the most upbeat on the album – even if the lines "My feet'll be a-flyin'/To tell about my troubled mind" paint a picture of trying to outrun problems. If "Walkin' Down the Line" an up-tempo tune celebrating freedom as escapism, "Restless Farewell" is the other side of the coin. The album's closer returns to the simple, slow ballad that recognizes the consequences of this restless lifestyle and apologizes for any pain caused but expresses no regret.
Dylan has a lot to say, and he is not going to waste time repeating himself. Baez for the most part sings his words faithfully even though she is a woman singing a man's songs. Sometimes the song is already written from a woman's perspective, as in "North Country Blues," and sometimes she flips the genders like in "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and "Restless Farewell." But if switching the lyrics would be too complicated or would change the song too much, like in "Sad-Eyed Lady" or "Love Minus Zero/No Limit," she lets them stand and sings them as written.
Both "Sad-Eyed Lady" and "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" are love songs to Dylan's first wife, Sara Lowndes. In "Love Minus Zero,"the narrator describes the woman he loves with contradictory and paradoxical phrases such as "she's true like ice, like fire" and "my love she speaks like silence.""Sad-Eyed Lady" is a beautiful song with an almost hypnotic lilting rhythm but when you snap out of it and focus on the lyrics, you realize what a strange choice this is for Baez to sing. It's the longest song on the album at almost 11 and a half minutes, which is almost double the length of the other songs. It's also a man's love song to a woman – specifically her former lover's love song to a woman who is not her.
Five years earlier, the already-famous Baez met the then-unknown Dylan and fell for both him and his music. She was the one to introduce Dylan to the world by including him in her concerts, but within a couple of years he had eclipsed her in stardom and their relationship ended rather badly. So why this song? If she truly picked the songs for "Any Day Now" at random – as reported on the ever-reliable Wikipedia page for the album – the decision makes a little more sense. Whatever her reasons, it's a puzzle as to why Baez would sing Dylan's love song to his wife of the time only three years after he abruptly and unkindly ended their relationship.
The song "One Too Many Mornings" is more evocative of Baez' relationship with Dylan – though it is in no way a direct parallel. It is a song about a failed relationship with an ambiguous ending. The line "you were right from your side but I was right from mine" indicates a shared blame or responsibility for the end of the relationship, which was not the case at the end of Baez and Dylan's. It is melancholy and lonely but Baez never makes it bitter. She isn't bitter either in "Boots of Spanish Leather," a song about a love that fades away when the distance between lovers becomes too great for their love to span. She gives no indication that she'sthinking of the parallels between the distance separating the lovers in the song and the distance between herself and Dylan. The only waver in her voice is her signature vibrato.
"Boots" is one of the many songs on Any Day Now that has a narrative. "Drifter's Escape" and "North Country Blues" tell a definite story about rural life, and "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" alludes to a groom's – or in Baez' case, a bride's – last moments as a free person. And though this particular song isn't talking about being imprisoned, two other songs on the recording are. The beachy and chill vibes of "The Walls of Redwing" are juxtaposed with dark lyrics describing life in a prison. However, Dylan is actually describing a Minnesota boy's reform school, which makes the last few lines – "Oh, some of us'll end up/In St. Cloud Prison/And some of us'll wind up/To be lawyers and things" – more depressing than inspiring. The prison imagery continues in "I Shall Be Released," which also provided the line Baez took for the title of this album. This time it is a prison, and the song both touches on themes of redemption and comments on the death penalty in the lines "I see my light come shining/From the west unto the east/Any day now, any day now/I shall be released." The song also addresses wrongful imprisonment in the lines "Standing next to me in this lonely crowd/Is a man who swears he's not to blame/All day long I hear him shout so loud/Crying out that he was framed."
These two songs could also be making a statement on people and children being imprisoned by conformity or the establishment, because this is social activist Joan Baez singing protest songwriter Bob Dylan's music and you know they're not going to keep quiet about social issues. And these two songs aren't the only songs on this album that provide social commentary. The message is clear from the title in "I Pity the Poor Immigrant," a song about the struggle of having to leave your home but not fitting into your new home, and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" and "Dear Landlord" both touch on materialism and the commodification of the soul.
Baez must have felt that the words in "Tears of Rage" was the most important out of all the other songs on the album, because she performs it a cappella, forcing you to listen to the message of the song. The Band – the first group to record this song – has on their website a page of analysis and interpretation of the song's lyrics: America as the child who is rebelling, America is the parent being rebelled against, the song as an allegory for the Vietnam war. And there is a lot of content in the lyrics. But to analyze the lyrics is to analyze Dylan, not Baez, and these notes have devoted so many words to Dylan's words already. Now is the time to focus on Baez, and she shines in "Tears of Rage." The song showcases her vocal range and unmistakable yet not unpleasant vibrato that is all the more impressive when you learn all of that is self-taught. The song has the most complex and least repetitive melody on the album, which sets it apart, but it is Baez who draws you into the song and make these four minutes some of the most engaging moments of the whole album.
In a short biography of Baez for the Grove Dictionary of American Music, Mark C. Samples writes that "Although she is acknowledged as a songwriter, her musical legacy inevitably lies in her consummate interpretations of others' songs." In the case of "Love is Just a Four-Letter Word," she interpreted the song so well that it became her song – Dylan hadn't yet and still hasn't ever recorded it or performed it. So in the end, it doesn't matter that Joan Baez didn't write the lyrics or melodies on Any Day Now, her sparse instrumentation and beautiful voice made the songs hers.

But notice the pattern, simple stripes. And just using knits and purls. this is a great pattern choice for an easy knitting pattern that will help you enjoy your knitting experience.
A Bit More Difficult, But Still Quite Doable!
This is one of the very satisfying easy knitting patterns because it is quick to finish. By doubling the strand of yarn it makes it thick and using larger needles, makes the pattern work up really fast. And the stitches are all knit or purl. You get the pattern by switching from knitting the knit stitches to purling the knit stitches in different patterns. A great looking scarf you can be gifting or wearing in no time at all.
This is a small detail but adds a professional touch. You will generally see this instruction when you have been knitting using a stitch pattern instead of stockinette. Work the next row of the stitch pattern, knitting and purling just as if you were working that row, as you bind off.
Sometimes a pattern will tell you specifically where to decrease or increase across a row; other times it will only tell you the specific number of stitches to decrease or increase and to do so evenly.
You don't want the decreases or increases together at one end but spread out as evenly as possible across the entire row. Otherwise, it will cause your knitting to pucker and flare. For help on how to determine how to spread out your decreases or increases evenly, please see Increasing Evenly. You will find the principle is the same to decrease evenly.
If you knitting a stitch pattern, you'll just follow the instruction for each row as long as you keep working over the same number of stitches. But as you shape a project, such as a sleeve or a neckline, you will find that you need to increase or decrease the number of stitches you are knitting. This changes where you will begin and end each row. Please see Keeping To Pattern for help.
A stitch multiple is the number of stitches you need to have for one complete repeat of a stitch pattern. A multiple of 5 stitches means you should cast on any number of stitches that is divisible by 5. A multiple of 6 + 1 means you should cast on any number of stitches that is divisible by 6 plus 1 extra stitch.
Almost all cardigan patterns will give you exact instructions for knitting one front; the other front instruction will tell you to knit it the same way, but reverse shaping.
The neck and armhole edges are at their logical respective places. With the right side facing the public, hold the left or right front up against you. This is the easiest way to tell which is the armhole edge and which is the neck edge if you get confused.
To reverse shaping, work the shaping at the opposite end from where you worked it for the first side. Usually you will begin to shape an armhole by binding off stitches. If you bound off the stitches at the beginning of a right side row for one front, you would bind off stitches at the beginning of a wrong side row for the other front. This keep the shaping on the correct edge.
If you are increasing or decreasing at the beginning of a row for one front, you would increase or decrease at the end of the row for the other front.
You will also see this word spelled selvage. All knitting has a selvedge on each side. It only means the first and last stitches. If it's something that will be seamed, these are the stitches that will be used to seam the piece together; they will no longer be visible when it is sewn.
With knitting projects such as scarves and afghans where there are no seams, you will have a selvedge. You will sometimes see a pattern that tells you to work the first and last stitch in a specific way, such as slipping the first stitch and knitting the last stitch. This creates a neat selvedge on each side that enhances the look of the project.
You will often see this term when you are about to pick up stitches along an edge but you may see it at other times as well. The right side, or the side that will be facing the public when it's completed, should be facing you as you work.
This term often follows a sequence where you just completed shaping and have increased or decreased. You will have a different number of stitches than when you began that sequence. You are now working over the number of stitches you currently have.

Many are bemoaning the increase in crime and calling for more officers. This won't help; another few cops driving around is not going to interdict crime in process! To say nothing of Chico's other costly needs: deplorable infrastructure: road lane-marking all but invisible, virtually no streets signs visible at night, road shoulders never swept. And, poorly unsupervised tree crews — the list goes on and on.
But, what might work? Fear of arrest and successful prosecution.
Dead prostitute found under a motel bed: caught.
Gang shootout near mall; caught.
Monthly stabbings or shootings near Riley's; usually caught.
Dead body found near the river; caught.
Hives stolen from orchard; caught.
The only crimes not solved are bike thefts and human remains in cars torched in orchards!
Detailed stats about arrest rates, conviction rates.
In short, talk up how hard it is to commit a crime in Chico and get away with it. It's worth a try.


The Goanna Prospect is located on the Tampen Spur on the north-western margin of the North Viking Graben in the North Sea.
Licence PL881 was awarded in February 2017 as part of the APA16 licence round.
On August 29th 2017 Faroe announced commencement of the Goanna exploration well 39/9-22 S in licence PL 881. The Goanna prospect straddles the border between PL 881 and PL 037, the well will target a structural and stratigraphic prospect of Upper Jurassic Munin Formation sandstones.
The Goanna exploration well, operated by Wellesley Petroleum using the semi-submersible drilling rig Deepsea Bergen, is now being plugged and abandoned as planned. The well cost is expected to come in below budget and as such Faroe's associated costs will be fully carried by its joint venture partner.


Most things can do with a tune-up from time to time. Even the term tune-up points to a relationship with sound. So what a delight it is that we are able to offer Sound Treatments from qualified and endorsed Sonesha Practitioners.
A Sound Vibrational Resonance Therapy treatment may use a combination of ting shaws, drums, tuning forks, singing bowls, bells, and gongs as well as other instruments. We are all a symphony of sound being played by an orchestra of vibrating cells, so when the vibrations become distorted disharmony and illness may set in. Using these instruments restores the cells to their original healthy vibrational state.
A Sound Vibrational Resonance Therapy session will take approximately two hours and includes counselling and ongoing maintenance advice designed to help you following the session.
People often ask how many treatments will be required but that is something we cannot immediately determine as everyone is different. Sound Vibrational Resonance Therapy can be a one-off treatment but for long-term results it is likely that a series of treatments will be most beneficial.

We generally collect both information that you directly provide to us and information that is passively or automatically collected from you, such as anonymous information collected from your browser or device. This information may be categorized further into Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that allows us to identify you. When you engage in certain activities on this Website, such as registering an account with the Website, ordering a product or service, returning an order, inquiring about our products or services, contacting customer service, signing up for email updates or other promotional materials, submitting content and/or posting content in any public areas of the Website, entering a contest or sweepstakes, participating in a marketing survey, promotion or event, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain Personally Identifiable Information by filling out and submitting an online form.
It is completely optional for you to elect to engage in these activities; however, through your participation, and in order to provide you with our full range of services, we may ask that you provide us Personally Identifiable Information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. A representative, non-exhaustive list of the types of Non-Personally Identifiable Information may include: network or Internet protocol address and type of browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Microsoft Windows or Mac OS), the name of your Internet service provider (e.g., Comcast, Verizon or AT&T) and domains used by such providers, mobile network, device identifiers (such as an Apple IDFA or an Android Advertising ID), device settings, browser settings, the Website pages you have visited, the website visited before and after you visit the Website, the type of handheld or mobile device used to view the Website (e.g., iOS, Android), location information, and the content and advertisements you have accessed, seen, forwarded and/or clicked on. Please see our Section titled Cookies for more information about how the foregoing information may be collected and used.
Collection Medthods and Use of Information
We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you (a) register for our services and register your E-mail address with us; (b) enter sweepstakes or contests sponsored by us or one of our partners; (c) sign up for special offers from selected third parties; (d) send E-mail messages, submit forms, or transmit other information by telephone or letter; or (e) submit your credit card or other payment information when using, ordering or purchasing products or services on our Website. We may also collect information from you at other points on our Website that state that such information is being collected.
In addition, we may collect, or our third party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non‑Personally Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We may use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Website and to gather demographic information. Our third party ad servers will also provide us with summary, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our Website.
We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services to you. We will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of our Website, fulfill orders, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, analyze Website use, improve our product and service offerings, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, and customize our Websites' content, layout, and services. We may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce our agreements with you, including but not limited to our Terms of Use, Terms of Sale, and this Privacy Policy.
We do not share, sell, trade, license, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others, except in certain circumstances and as set forth herein. In the normal course of business we may share Personally Identifiable Information with third-parties in the following, limited circumstances:
Personally Identifiable Information is provided to our parent companies, subsidiaries or affiliated companies for the purpose of processing the information or conducting business on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process this information based on our instructions and requirements consistent with this Privacy Policy.
If you are accessing this Website through a co-branded or white-page version of this Website established for a third-party, or some other referring business, we may share your name, physical address and email address with such third-party. We do not provide credit card or other financial information to these third-parties.
We may share your name, phone number, physical address, email address, financial information and/or order information to select third-party service providers for purposes of operating our business, including credit card processing, business analytics, customer service, marketing, distribution of surveys or sweepstakes programs, and fraud prevention. For example, we must share your credit card information to the card-issuing bank and certain fraud prevention companies to analyze risk and confirm payment for products and services purchased by you on this Website; or share your address to a courier service to deliver products that you ordered; or share your contact information with email service providers so that they may notify you of offers or services of ours that may be of interest to you. Such information may only be used by service providers on our behalf and we only share such information that is absolutely necessary.
We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with those third-party product or service suppliers sold or advertised through this Website, such as hotels, car rental companies, travel providers, activity providers, entertainment providers, producers, and box offices. By making a purchase or reservation through this Website, you are authorizing us to disclose to suppliers your Personally Identifiable Information, except that we will not disclose financial information unless absolutely necessary. You also agree that such suppliers may contact you for marketing purposes. Please note, however, these suppliers are not controlled by us and that any Personally Identifiable Information shared with them is subject to the applicable supplier's privacy policy and data security practices. Therefore, we encourage you to review the privacy policies and security practices of any supplier whose products or services you purchase through this Website.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation, or to otherwise satisfy applicable laws, regulations, legal process or enforceable governmental requests. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
We may disclose and/or share Personally Identifiable Information as may be necessary to enforce applicable terms of service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or to protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Orlando Fun Tickets, its affiliates, its suppliers, their customers, or the public, as required or permitted by law.
We may share certain information about our customers' purchases, traffic patterns, demographics, and related Website information with third-party vendors and advertisers, but these statistics are anonymized and do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.
Transfer of Information
We may transfer Personally Identifiable Information to a third party in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale (including any transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving us or our affiliated companies, or as part of a corporate reorganization, stock or asset sale, or other change in corporate control.
EEA and Switzerland Residents.
When you use this Website and/or provide information to us through the Website, your information may be transferred to a destination outside your jurisdiction, including to the United States. The United States has not received a finding of "adequacy" from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. We rely on derogations for specific situations set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR in order to transfer personal information across international borders outside of Orlando Fun Tickets, its affiliates and subsidiaries. In particular, we transfer personal information across international borders only: with your consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms.
We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you have provided to us. You may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information in your account online at any time by accessing your account preferences. You may also access and correct your personal information and privacy preferences by writing us at the address or email address first listed above. Please include your name, address, and/or E-mail address, and any other information pertinent to your request, when you contact us.
We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. While you may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed, because we keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on this Website. In addition, it may be impossible for us to completely delete your information without retaining some residual information because of temporary backups or legal requirements.
User Choices on Collection and Use of Information
We may, from time-to-time, send you E-mail regarding our products and services. In addition, if you indicated that you are interested in receiving offers or information from us, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only Orlando Fun Tickets (or agents working on our behalf and subject to confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings but only if you indicated that you do not object to these offers. If you do not want to receive E-mail from us, either you should not opt into having E-mail sent to you, or you may unsubscribe from any such E-mails.
You also have choices with respect to cookies, as described below. By modifying your browser preferences, you may have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies some parts of our Website and our services may not work properly in your case.
Security of Information.
At our Website you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable Information is secure, consistent with recognized industry standards. The importance of security for all Personally Identifiable Information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. Your Personally Identifiable Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Personally Identifiable Information is available through a unique customer ID that is either issued to you or selected by you, and a password that is selected by you. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Further, all transmissions that include Personally Identifiable Information are encrypted in transit using industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
When you enter Personally Identifiable Information, such as credit card or debit card and billing information, on applicable sections of our Website, the information will be encrypted or encoded before it is sent over the Internet. In addition, such Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel or independent contractors under strict confidentiality requirements have access to. We truncate, encrypt and/or tokenize credit card or debit card numbers, and thereby prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to us or stored on our servers.
Additionally, in order to most efficiently serve you, credit card and debit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Website cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered by a third party while in transit.
When you use our Website we may store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your use of our Website. A cookie is a small data text file, which a website stores on your computer's hard drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. For example, we may use cookies to understand which web pages are visited, how often they are visited, to remember you when you return to the Website, to help maintain a secure Website, or to generally make the Website function or more user-friendly.
We may use an outside ad-serving company to display advertisements on our Website. As part of their service, they will place a separate cookie on your computer. We will not provide any third-party ad server with any of your Personally Identifiable Information or information about your purchases. We and our third party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may also place banner ads on our Website in the same manner as above, but we will not disclose any Personally Identifiable Information to them.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. Depending on your browser, you may decide to change the settings in your browser to refuse all cookies or even to notify you when a cookie is being sent. However, if you decide to refuse all cookies from this Website, please be aware that some Website features or some of our services may be unavailable or may not function properly.
Privacy Policies of Third Party Sites.
Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Other websites that may be accessible by or through our Website have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each website's privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties. We cannot control a third-party's collection or use of any information. You should contact these third parties directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.
Miscellaneous Privacy Issues.

Our policy is that we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable Information about visitors that are under eighteen (18) years of age. Additionally, our Website is not intended for nor targeted towards children. We do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from children.

If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under the applicable age of consent, please contact us.
You should also be aware that when Personally Identifiable Information is voluntarily disclosed (i.e. your name, E-mail address, etc.) in any public areas on this Website, that information, along with any information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. Such activities are beyond our control and this Privacy Policy does not apply to such information. If you do not want this information to be viewed by third parties, you are advised not to make any submissions.
