Anyway I visited the park today, it was slammed (especially the water park). Wahoo River is open! I'll have some photos up later today probably.
EDIT: I won't be able to get the report up until tomorrow, since I have to go to bed and I have work tomorrow.
Yup, I saw the river. Looking forward to Thursday, when they'll have it all finished.
Mini TR, Wahoo River photos coming soon!
Headed down to the park today, pretty hot but not unbearable. The park was even more crowded than on memorial day! We had to park in a branch of the parking lot I didn't even know existed, and then walk to the park along the road which could really use a proper sidewalk. There was a tram but it was only running a single car and wouldn't have saved us anytime due to how poor it's capacity was. The line to get in was super long, probably took ~30min of waiting in line just to get in. Luckily, that was the worst part of the visit. Lines were reasonable in the dry park, but Hurricane Harbor was slammed. Turned out today was a bring a friend day, which explains much of the crowds.
I have zero regrets in my choice not to ride anything at Hurricane Harbor. This is just a fraction of the huge crowds, you can see a bit more how crowded it was in some of the Wahoo River photos.
The first thing I did was head into Hurricane Harbor to check up on Wahoo River, which was open! More on that after this mini TR. As mentioned in the captions of the last photo, I didn't ride anything in the waterpark due to massive crowds.
Once in the dry park, I headed over to Superman for a back seat ride, since I had never taken one and was curious what it was like. The ride went down briefly while I was in line and most people left, so I decided to wait it out at the station hoping that it'd reopen soon. My patience was rewarded, and I got to walk onto the back row for a ride. I was hoping to marathon it while the line remained short but alas, it returned to it's original length by the time my ride was over.
1). The back row provides some nice air on the drop that most of the other rows lack, which I always like.
2). The 4 main ejector hills give their air mostly on the way down instead of throughout the whole crest of the hill, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different.
Overall the back row is fun and worth a ride if you have the time, but the front row is still by far the best seat on this ride.
One does not simply say no to an Intamin hyper! The guy in the yellow vest is back there b/c this shot was taken while the ride was down and the guy in the vest was explaining to everyone what was going on.
After S:ROS, I decided to give the Penguin water ride a try, since I had never rode before, some people had told me that you don't get too wet, and the line looked short. While in line, I debated whether or not to change from my sneakers into my crocs (I brought them in case I decided to do any water rides). I ultimately decided to put the crocs on, which was a good choice since the raft for penguin had accumulated a couple inches of water at the bottom. While I didn't have to wait too long for my ride, the operations were very bad for this ride when I was there. The ride itself was a bit weird. When going up the conveyor belts, if you had your feet on the ground, you could feel every individual roller on the belt. I did get decently wet on the ride, mostly because the twisty parts at the beginning pour many drops of water on the riders, though the drops feel more like they're from leaking pipes than planned sprays, but I didn't actually look at the source.
tl;dr for the below paragraph: Penguin went down for 5-10 min leaving lots of riders in the area behind the station. Several people got off despite it being against the rules, but to be fair the employees did little to enforce the rules and at least one op mistakenly told people they were allowed to hop off.
While we were waiting to get back in the station, the ride went down, and we had to wait 5-10min to get back into the station. While it was down, the other group in the raft asked the operator closest to them if they could just get out, and climb into the station. After some verbal exchanges between the group and the two ops, the op closest to our raft said that they could hop out. Unsurprisingly to me, it turned out that there had been some sort of miscommunication between the two ops. The op in the back of the station shouted to the group and the other op that they weren't supposed to be allowed to get out, but it was too late - the group was right next to the station, and it didn't make sense for them to turn around and head back to the raft since they were so close. Another group in a raft behind us asked to get out since one of them needed to go to the bathroom. I forget whether an employee told them explicitly if they had permission to get out, but after some talking with employees they got out, and climbed over the fence into the queue. No employee made any effort to stop them despite the fact that at least one watched the whole thing if I remember correctly.
After the weird experience that was Penguin, I went to Wonder Woman to dry my feet off. This was actually my first time riding it despite visiting the park several times with it open, as every other time either the line was too long, or it was too cold for my to want to ride it. While dispatches were quite slow (Loading/Unloading + Ride cycle = ~7 min), one of the ride ops made did great job of making sure every ride was sent with all 32 seats filled, counting and grouping people in line while the ride was running and announcing to all the riders that he wanted every seat filled. I'll be sure to mention him in the SF satisfaction survey! The ride itself is quite fun, and pretty relaxing if you're not freaked out by the heights. It offers great views of the park (even if the park isn't super pretty), and was worth the ~20 min wait to ride for the first time and dry my feet off from Penguin. I actually felt the blood pull to my toes a bit on the ascent up. Side note: does anyone have good tips to avoid the feeling of blood pulling to one's feet on rides where your feet dangle? I've had the same problem on some B&M's.
Getting off Wonder Woman, I met up with the rest of my family. (Note: I forgot to mention that I was visiting with my family since I can't drive. My Mom and sisters spent the beginning of the trip at the wave pool while my dad spent his whole time in the dry park. My dad and I met up after I finished looking at Wahoo and spent the rest of the day together.) We headed back to superman for my sister and I to grab a front row ride (My sister's 1st front row ride on this coaster). We wound up waiting a bit longer than anticipated because it turned out that there were more people in front of us than we thought, and a couple with flash pass took the front row before we could get on, but it was definitely worth it (my sister who is gp also agreed that the front was worth the wait).
After S:ROS I grabbed a ride on Joker around the middle, which was good fun, and gave me my fix for coaster launches. I chose the middle as I'd ridden front and back multiple times each and wanted to try out the middle just because. With only 45 min left before we wanted to leave, I took a ride on Wild One (2nd to back, underrated ride with solid air unless on a wheel seat), and then we rode Zydeco Zinger, a Falling Star, to finish the day. The ride is pleasant and generally relaxing. When at it was at top speed, I felt mild uplift forces at the peak and a bit of tingling in my stomach. A little surprise with this ride was that my other sister spotted a toad sitting inside the ride's support structure, which was neat.
Zydeco Zinger, SFA's Falling Star, had a surprise toad inside! Photo taken by my mom.
Heading out of the park, a pair of employees were handing out free packs of Haribo gummy bears, which was a nice surprise!
Overall this was probably the least pleasant visit to SFA I've had over my past 5 visits (including this one) due to high crowds, but I still had a nice time in the end, and enjoyed getting to ride some great rides!
Wahoo River photos coming very soon!
Final Note: If anything I wrote in this TR was confusing to anyone, or if I made any significant grammar mistakes, don't hesitate to ask me about it!
I've always found that sign hilarious.
@JG-77 nice report. You actually write very well for a 15 year old.
Love that shot of the toad in the ride, perfect capture of the SFA ambiance.
Yes! Wahoo River is open to the public! I do not know how long it's been open, or if it's officially open (as opposed to a soft opening), but it is operating with riders!
I personally did not ride because Hurricane Harbor was slammed (It was bring a friend free day I believe), though it looks like it'd be a pleasant ride if there was little wait. The area surrounding the ride could use some work to make it look nice (grass and foliage should do it).
SFA's new for 2018 Wahoo River is open, and the sign is quite big.
The dirt roads left from construction are pretty ugly, but could easily be solved with some grass and bushes if the park is willing to do that.
Also, it's quite difficult to see in this picture, but there are some water sprayers built into the walls of the lazy river a little over halfway up the photo and a bit to the left (near where the sidewalk-looking thing ends).
Note the water being sprayed from the bridge. Also as a side note: The drop-slide complex (is that the right term?) in the background was closed the whole time I was in Hurricane Harbor. Does anyone know whether this problem occurred just this day or if the slides have been closed for a while?
That bridge is the only way across the river. It's placed awkwardly such that you have to walk up that wood-fenced path to get there and down a path of similar length on the other side. It's not impossible that there's another way to cross that I missed, but this bridge was the only crossing point I saw.
Also, the stairs in the bottom of the pic are just for safety, not for loading/unloading (I'll show the new loading system later).
This is a fun feature right at the beginning of the ride. I'm really happy how this shot turned out!
Another shot of the remaining construction roads.
Here's the new load area. I don't know how well it works since I didn't wait around to see, but it looks like a HUGE improvement from what it was before, which was a very small area with steps that was awful for capacity.
From the loading area the water forks into two paths. Travel goes clockwise, so new riders would go into the left side, and return on the right. The one obvious problem is that there doesn't look like there's much to prevent people from going around as many times as they want. IDK what the park's rules on for re-rides are, I didn't stick around to see whether riders were being told to get off after one go or not. Even if they are only allowed around once, I have no clue how that would be enforced properly.
Overview of the new load area with the sign in the background.
Wahoo River looks like a solid addition to Hurricane Harbor, and a HUGE improvement over the old lazy river. My one biggest complaint is that the areas right outside the river look quite ugly, though from what I understand construction only recently ended, and it is still possible that improving the perimeter of the ride is on the agenda. If the park decides to put in some grass, trees, and other foliage, than that would greatly elevate the ride! While it would have been nice to see a big new thrill ride for 2018, I'm not disappointed in this addition, and I'm excited to see what comes to this park in the future!

I will note that based on my experiences and what other people have written, SFA's ambiance has been improving......slowly.
Hope you had a great time at Dollywood!!!
In all seriousness though. Great TR. Very well written, and glad you had a good time!
Yes, the area around the river will be spruced up, with additional elements also. I'll take pics when the grand opening happens on Thursday.
The slide complex is working. Must have been broken just that day.
Great TR for Wahoo River! I will be visiting in a couple weeks and lazy rivers are among my favorite water rides. I will have to see how it rates against the lazy river at my home water park - White Water (Atlanta). As for rules re: re-rides / trips around the river, I have never seen anything enforced; once you are in, you can stay in and go around as long as you like. The sign at White Water mentions being allowed to utilize the free tubes for one lap (at which time you give it to another rider) but again, this has never been enforced.
That is the really cool thing about wave pools and lazy rivers - instant refreshment - no waiting in line!
I look forward to visiting this IMO underrated park. I generally get in one visit per year but this time I hope to follow up with a visit to SFGadv the next day.

Great! I look foward to seeing how the area around Wahoo River will be improved, glad that park is actually thinking about aesthetics (though we won't know the quality of the additional work until we see it).
Nice to hear the slides aren't down for extended time, I loved those things when I rode them a year ago!

Glad you enjoyed! I guess the ability to go around indefinately around the river is pretty neat! I don't frequently go to water parks, so I'm not used to the ways lazy rivers generally work (the last time I was at a water park was over a year ago - in SFA's hurricane harbor!).
I haven't ridden a Flying Dutchman or Premier Spaghetti Bowl yet, so looking forward to trying those!

Yes, amusing
London is known as a bastion of liberal values.
But by some measures the capital city is less progressive than you might think.
Findings from the British Social Attitudes survey found that residents were the least likely to say that pre-marital sex and homosexuality were rarely or never wrong.
Just 73 per cent held this view about sex before marriage and 67 per cent about same-sex relationships.
The trend is despite London having the largest proportion of gay, lesbian and bisexual people in the country.
Researchers said the regional variations were down to "religious differences" between different areas of the country and Londoners' social conservatism was "largely driven by religious factors".
"Controlling for religion, a factor significantly correlated with views towards pre-marital sex, differences between London and other regions became statistically non-significant," the paper said.
So, what's the explanation? Which religion and its association with immigration?
Part of it would be Judaism – not that I claim to be an expert but isn't London home to the only substantial Hassidic or equivalent communities in the UK? But much of the rest of it would be Islam, no?
Tempus Fugit etc etc

DALLAS — A Georgia church was expelled from the Southern Baptist Convention on Monday over charges of racism.
Er, no, for being racist.
Still, how times change, eh? It's taken only 80 years or so to go from compulsory to forbidden.

But we err in presuming convenience is always good, for it has a complex relationship with other ideals that we hold dear. Though understood and promoted as an instrument of liberation, convenience has a dark side. With its promise of smooth, effortless efficiency, it threatens to erase the sort of struggles and challenges that help give meaning to life. Created to free us, it can become a constraint on what we are willing to do, and thus in a subtle way it can enslave us.
It would be perverse to embrace inconvenience as a general rule. But when we let convenience decide everything, we surrender too much.
Convenience as we now know it is a product of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when labor-saving devices for the home were invented and marketed.
The rediscovery of Calvinism, hard work is good for you.
Merry Solstice to all
This is a cause for regret to my more devout friends, I know. They feel as though their festival is being not just cheapened and commercialised but taken over by godlessness. Is it any comfort to them to know that this is a reversion, that the opposite happened some centuries ago? Christianity once colonised and usurped a pagan festival.
Indeed, there are signs that we are simply removing some Christian layers from Christmas to reveal its older traditions buried beneath. While the Christmas tree is a German 17th-century addition, the habit of bringing greenery into the house at the time of the winter solstice is almost certainly far older than Christianity and was a Yule tradition of northern Europeans with origins lost in the fog of antiquity. Likewise gift-giving and the lighting of candles to urge the return of light in the darkest time of winter.
This is of course true of near all of the major Christian festivals. No, not to insist that Christianity means nothing nor that it is an invention (hey, make up your own minds).
Rather, that the hegemonic religion of the time spent some centuries noting that people tended to get merry at certain times of the year, three of the four turning points of the year for example. Samhaim became All Souls/All Saints, the arrival of spring Easter and the winter solstice Christmas.
As Matt Ridley notes:
If Christmas is really just a repurposed pagan festival of the solstice, this does not make any of its traditions, Christian or pagan, any more or less worthwhile than others. In particular, let us give the Christians credit for two things: charity and beauty. Had it not been for St Paul and Constantine, we might still be celebrating midwinter with just debauchery, flamingoes and female gladiators, and no acts of kindness, consideration, contemplation and care. And we might never have heard a boy's treble singing Once in Royal David's City in the incomparable, soaring splendour of Kings College chapel's perpendicular architecture.
So have a merry solstice, be good and let's hope the sun heeds our heathen hopes and starts to return this week.
Whatever your beliefs do have a merry one.
I assume they were all destroyed once sold then, yes?
England's vicarages and parsonages are almost as iconic as its churches. But campaigners say they may be all but gone after a 70-year process of selling-off which began after the Second World War and has seen thousands of vicars ejected from the historic buildings and moved into private houses.
What's more, they have raised concerns that many modern priests have no interest in living in the properties – leaving them vulnerable to being sold.
Campaign group Save Our Parsonages estimates that 8,000 such houses have been sold by dioceses since the Second World War, causing the Church of England financial loss because of the growing value of property.
For that's the only way we should be worried about "saving them" isn't it?
For non-Brits here, vicars and parsons were people of some substance in Ye Olde Englande, their housing reflecting this. Substantial buildings built for a largish brood plus a clutch of servants. Often the second or third largest house in a village for example.
This is not a requirement for a parish these days, given the size of today's nuclear families, even among churchmen.
Err, yes, the confessional is sacrosanct
Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart has said he'll risk going to jail rather than report what's said to him in the sacrament of confession, even if what's confessed relates to child sexual abuse.
His latest comments, made on ABC radio, were responding to a recommendation from the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse to make reporting child sexual abuse allegations mandatory in institutions including when an allegation is made in religious confession. Failure to report would be a criminal offence.
The recommendation is one of a suite of proposed reforms to improve transparency and reporting of sexual abuse and improve the law's effectiveness to apprehend sexual abusers and protect children.
Archbishop Hart wouldn't report something said in confession by a child who's been abused or by an abuser. Non-Catholics don't understand confession, he said. Confession is sacrosanct, above the law, which is what makes it different from other forms of telling. It's communication with God of a higher order.
You can believe it or not, as you wish, but it is what they believe and they'll be sticking to it.
There is an added piquancy to this particular tale:
When I was 16, I went to confession. I wish the priest had reported what I'd told him
When I was 16, I went to confession for real. I'd been sexually abused by a Catholic high school teacher and her husband. I went to see a priest on the suggestion of one of my abusers, because I was so upset.
The priest I saw gave me absolution which didn't make me any less upset. I can't remember what the penance was. He didn't do anything about what I told him as far as I know. I guess he maintained the seal of confession, the higher order communication with God in Archbishop Hart's terms. I wish he had done something, reported what I'd told him to my school, parents or the police, because I'd have been far less harmed. What happened to me after that time has had lifelong consequences. I was a child who had a child. The priest let me down badly.
Perhaps reporting it to the police, the headmaster, might have helped a bit?
The Catholic church is not above the law. It's not above anything. It's down here on Earth with the rest of us and ought to be more concerned about protecting children than protecting its practices.
No, you've really not grasped the internal driver of the Church, have you? Sure, you can believe it or not, as you wish, but they certainly think that they're dealing with the next world, not this one.
Not just left footers then?
A Jehovah's Witness charity has been attacked by the Charity Commission for covering up allegations of paedophilia against one of its former leaders.
In a damning report by the charities watchdog, Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses was criticised for failing to report its members claims of sex abuse to the police.
"The inquiry found that the trustees of the charity did not report the allegation of child sexual abuse to the police or to other authorities," the report said. "Nor did it report the matter as a serious incident to the Commission."
Well, y'know, there're traditions and there're traditions
Donald Trump has not hosted an iftar dinner during Ramadan, breaking a nearly 20-year tradition.
Is two decades a tradition?
And how many such religious festivities should the White House follow? Muslims are some 1% of Americans, Jews 2% (or so). Passover at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? 0.7% Hindu and Buddhist each. By some estimates Eastern Orthodox outnumber Muslims. Jan 6 th celebrations, just where are they?
An interesting continuity
Russia's Supreme Court has accepted the government's request to designate Jehovah's Witnesses as an outlawed religious group, deeming it to be an extremist organisation.
The Tsars rather hammered down on those who didn't follow their flavour of Russian Orthodox. Old Believers buggered off into Siberia in order to be able to make the sign of the cross their way.
The Soviets rather hammered down on the non-Orthodox religious sects too. Baptists and Jehovah's W and so on.
Putinism is hammering down on………
There's more than a soupcon of a hint of truth to the idea of the Deep State, isn't there? That whatever the political complexion on the top certain policies are going to be roughly the same?
Err, well, yes
However, the hijab doesn't fit neatly under the bracket of being a "religious symbol". It's not the equivalent of a piece of jewellery that displays pride in your faith, and which can easily be concealed to stop people feeling uncomfortable. For its wearers the hijab is a core part of their way of life, linked to the way they choose to practise their faith. It is not up for debate.
By permitting a ban on the hijab, Europe is essentially permitting a ban on Muslim women in the workplace.
Well, oddly enough, the hijab itself isn't a particularly Muslim thing.
The actual injunction is to dress modestly and different cultures have interpreted this differently. From, roughly speaking, the full burka to just not flashing one's tits. Hijab refers not to the scarf nor even the head covering, in truth, but to the "modestly".
I'm actually old enough to recall when it was considered very much not on for a woman to be bare armed in a Catholic Church…..
Now, it might be that the dominant Muslim culture of our times says that the head covering is that necessity for modesty but it's still not universal. Just as Orthodox Jewish ladies wearing wigs so that only their husbands see their hair is a definitely minority pursuit.
Myself I'm all in favour of this ban upon religious symbols. Yes, this includes the air hostess wearing a crucifix, the Rasta insisting upon dreadlocks and so on, that's the way the ECJ has written it. Employers are indeed allowed to discriminate among those they would employ. As we're all allowed to discriminate against employers who do damn fool things. And as Gary Becker pointed out, employers who stupidly do so will lose money. This is a problem best left to the market to solve.
And think what happens if this really is discrimination against Muslim women? Their wages fall I make a fortune by specifically employing only Muslim women. And don't say it doesn't happen that way because Dame Stevie Shirley showed outright that it does work.
How Fanatabulously fabulosa
I had seen this story and not thought much of it. Now I understand it a bit better and think it's great:
A Church of England theological college has apologised after trainee priests held a church service in the antiquated gay slang language Polari to commemorate LGBT History Month.
Couldn't give a bugger about LGBT history month of course but a service in Polari? Why the hell not?
Well, actually, given that this is the CoE, the only reason I can think of for why not is that only the priests would understand it.
How is bacon racist?
Two men who threw rashers of bacon inside a north London mosque in a racially motivated attack have been jailed for eights months.
Mateusz Pawlikowski, 22, and Piotr Czak-Zukowski, 28, walked into Al-Rahman Mosque in north London as worshippers were getting ready for evening prayer.
Pawlikowski approached one of them, swore at him, and threw a rasher of bacon towards him, continuing to throw further rashers on the floor of the prayer room.
Behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace I can see, yes. But racism? How can we have race when talking about a religion?
There's silly, there's Ritchie and then there's crazed
Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes' writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom "not joining the monster of the European Union to come." The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union.
A written article of related interest is titled "Is a Brexit a step towards a monstrous militaristic superstate?"
Your guide to Ramadan fasting
Interestingly sensible, once one has absorbed the basic idea of daytime fasting through Ramadan:
Ruling for person unable to observe fast?
Dr. Ali Ahmed Mashael: If a person is unable to observe fast, he has to feed one poor person for each day that he didn't fast. But, it is better to observe fast.
What is the ruling on fasting for those who are constantly travelling and not staying at a place for a long time.
Dr. Ali Ahmed Mashael: A traveller is permitted not to fast if he travels over a distance of 78kms per day.
However, a seasoned traveller who does not get travel weary can fast.
If a person stays in the country for four days or more, he should fast and perform prayers.
But if he stays for less than four days, he should perform Jama and Qasr prayers and fast.
Earlier, travelling was not easy. But now travelling has become smooth so fasting is not tough even for regular travellers. So, it is preferable for Muslims to observe fast.
A very sensible observation that the world has changed.
What is the Shariah ruling as regards eye drops and injections during the day?
Dr. Ali Ahmed Mashael: Eye drops, according to Shafai'i and Hanafi, do not break the fast even if the fasting person can taste it in the throat.
This is because the eye is not a normal place for receiving food or drink, even if something reaches the throat.
The fast is broken through anything entering through open ports like the ear, nose and mouth.
Injections do not invalidate the fast, whether it is intravenous or intramuscular, and whether there is a taste or not.
These do not reach the stomach via an open port, unless the injections are used to assist the body as food and drink like in the case of a nutrient injection. In such cases it breaks the fast.
I grew up in a pretty relaxed Catholicism but reading around what the Irish Church of the 50s was like, for example, one can imagine very similar questions and answers about Lent or no meat Fridays and the like. I actually recall one monk teaching us youngsters (and it was youngsters) of a Lenten rule. If we'd given up sweeties for Lent (no, didn't happen for me but….) did that mean that if we were given some for our birthday, which happened to fall in Lent, we couldn't eat them? No, your birthday, and for example that of St Patrick if you were of Irish background (and very grudgingly, the Irish influence in British Catholicism being rather strong, St George if you were English, David, Welsh and so on) is a celebratory day, a Feast Day, and thus Lenten restrictions do not apply. That might actually be exactly the same as Shariah works, the answer being dependent upon which authority you consult.
The actual injunctions are different but the method of logic in reaching them is almost exactly the same. I can imagine Rabbis chewing over the same points too, or at least in the same manner.
This would be a most unkind translation
LA Muslim Leaders Demand Gun Control in Response to Orlando Shooting
Voice of America	– 1 hour ago
June 14, 2016 3:19 AM. LOS ANGELES—. At a multi-faith vigil at the front steps of the Islamic Center of Southern California, Muslim leaders said it is time to do something after the worst mass shooting in the history of the United States.
Don't let our peeps have guns because one of them might do this again…..
Shock! Horror! Religious people believe their religion!
Half of British Muslims want gay sex to be made illegal, according to a new poll.
The survey for Channel 4 found there was a "chasm" between views among the British Muslim community and mainstream opinion in this country.
It found 52 per cent of Muslims said homosexuality should not be legal in Britain.
Of more than 1,000 British Muslims polled by ICM, 39 per cent agreed "wives should always obey their husbands", and 31 per cent said it was acceptable for a man to have more than one wife.
I'm pretty sure that all flavours of Islam believe the following three things:
1) Homosexuality should be illegal.
2) Wives should obey their husbands.
3) A man may have more than one wife.
The finding is thus that people who believe in a religion believe in a religion.
As to what we do about it we ignore them. Just as we do the Jews about not mixing meat and dairy, the Jehovah's Witnesses about not having a blood transfusion and so on.
How amazingly weird
Paris attacks made me 'doubt' presence of God, admits Archbishop of Canterbury
Despite my pure atheism it strikes me as very odd indeed to lose or doubt faith over that. Looks like pretty good evidence that the Devil and evil do exist: and if one then so the other, God and grace, no?
Our local SJW calls our attention to this
Hundreds of British Muslims have taken out an advert to highlight their "united condemnation" of terrorism after the attacks in Paris.
The advert, issued by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and endorsed by more than 300 of the body's affiliates, features an image of the Eiffel Tower and the words: "With one voice, British Muslims condemn the Paris attacks unreservedly.
"The barbaric acts of Daesh [Isis] have no sanction in the religion of Islam, which forbids terrorism and the targeting of innocents.
"Muslims have held vigils and donated blood for the victims. It is not the terrorists who represent our faith but brave individuals like Stade de France security guard Zouheir, who risked his life to stop the attackers."
I'm quite certain that that is how the vast majority of Muslims feel. Just as I'm certain that that tiny fraction that supports Deash reads the existence of the Caliphate differently. Which is rather the rub really.
In which Mehdi Hassan is wrong
"The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see," wrote Ayn Rand in her novel The Fountainhead. That there is a link, a connection, between the west's military interventions in the Middle East and terrorist attacks against the west, that violence begets violence, is "glaringly evident" to anyone with open eyes, if not open minds.
So, we're causing it by our actions, they're just reacting.
OK. Then in he same newspaper, on the same day:
Isis is reaching out to fill the void wherever a state of "chaos" or "savagery" (at-tawahoush) exists, as in central Asia and Africa. And where there is insufficient chaos in the lands of the infidel, called "The House of War", it seeks to create it, as in Europe.
They've actually got a plan they're working to. But then we're not surprised that Mehdi is wrong, are we?
We've dealt with murderous Islamists before, haven't we?
In 1898, in the context of the scramble for Africa, the British decided to reassert Egypt's claim on Sudan. An expedition, commanded by Kitchener, was organised in Egypt. It was composed of 8,200 British soldiers and 17,600 Egyptian and Sudanese soldiers commanded by British officers. The Mahdist forces (sometimes called the Dervishes) were more numerous, numbering more than 60,000 warriors, but lacked modern weapons.
After defeating a Mahdist force in the Battle of Atbara in April 1898, the Anglo-Egyptians reached Omdurman, the Mahdist capital in September. The bulk of the Mahdist army attacked, but was cut down by British machine-guns and rifle fire.
The remnant, with the Khalifa Abdullah, fled to southern Sudan. During the pursuit, Kitchener's forces met a French force under Major Jean-Baptiste Marchand at Fashoda, resulting in the Fashoda Incident. They finally caught up with Abdullah at Umm Diwaykarat, where he was killed, effectively ending the Mahdist regime.
The casualties for this campaign were:
Sudan: 30,000 dead, wounded, or captured
Britain: 700+ British, Egyptian and Sudanese dead, wounded, or captured.

The project team
Leo Koop
PhD candidate TU Delft
l.koop*tudelft.nl
Biosketch
I am Leo Koop, born in the Spanish Lookout Belize, currently a PhD candidate at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), and researcher in the DISCLOSE project. At the University of Belize, I received a bachelor degree in mathematics with a minor in computer science. In 2013 I became the recipient of an Erasmus Mundus scholarship to the master program "Computer Simulation for Science and Engineering". The first year of this program I studied at the Technische Universität Berlin and my final year was at the TU Delft. During my master's thesis on the topic of "Simulating Hearing Loss Using a Transmission Line Cochlea Model" I inverted a popular model of the human inner ear; thereby allowing this model to be used as a hearing loss simulator for the first time. This inversion of the model was done by using advanced acoustic signal processing. The experience with acoustic signal processing coupled with my heritage in the Belize Barrier Reef, as a Belizean, piqued my interest in the DISCLOSE project. The Belize Barrier Reef is a part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System which is the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere and second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. As such, Belize, a small jewel of a country, has a great responsibility in the protection of the reef which is also a World Heritage Site. My participation in the DISCLOSE project will therefore not only be of value in supplying information regarding the Dutch Continental Shelf, but will also give me experience in seafloor habitat mapping, something that is very applicable and useful in my home country of Belize.
Dick Simons
Project leader TU Delft
d.g.simons*tudelft.nl
Dick Simons received the MSc degree in Physics at the University of Leiden (cum laude), The Netherlands in 1983. He received his PhD in 1988, also at the University of Leiden. In 1990 he joined the Underwater Technology Department of TNO Defense, Security and Safety, The Hague, where from 2000 he became program leader of all research concerning underwater acoustic propagation modelling. From March 2004 he is holding the part-time chair seafloor mapping in the Delft Institute of Earth Observation and Space Systems (DEOS) of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. On 1 October 2006 he was appointed fulltime professor on the chair Acoustic Remote Sensing at the same faculty. His research interests are: multibeam echo sounder mapping of seafloor bathymetry and its dynamic behavior, sediment classification through inverse modeling of single- and multibeam echo sounder signals, phenomenological approaches to sediment classification, and solving inverse problems in underwater acoustics in general, using global optimization methods such as genetic algorithms. Simons has led (and still leads) extensive international research projects in these fields and plays a leading role in the definition and execution of major field experiments at sea needed for these projects. Professor Simons always looks for other applications of acoustic remote sensing and he is now also working on passive probing of the atmosphere with (inaudible) infrasound, non-destructive analysis and monitoring of sand filters (for drinking water) and acoustic camera imaging for noise source identification on aircraft.
Mirjam Snellen
Co-supervisor TU Delft
m.snellen*tudelft.nl
Mirjam Snellen received the MSc degree (cum laude) in 1996 from the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. In 2002 she received her PhD at the University of Amsterdam on the topic of "Sea bottom parameter estimation by inversion of underwater acoustic sonar data". She has worked at the research institute TNO from 1996 to 2003, mainly on research in the field of underwater acoustics. In 2003 she joined to the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology, where currently she is Associate Professor in the field of acoustics with a focus on acoustic imaging using arrays. In 2005 she received a Veni grant on the topic "Sea-floor classification by acoustic remote sensing".
Her research interests are acoustic imaging techniques, using for example multi-beam echo-sounders (MBES), interferometers and derived state-of-the-art techniques, mapping of the seafloor, both bathymetry but also classifying its sediments, and solving inverse problems in acoustics. Snellen acts as an advisor both for Deltares, but also for Rijkswaterstaat, in the field of acoustic measurements for hydrographic purposes. In this role she is also responsible for the tool AMUST (A priori Multi-beam echo-sounder Uncertainty Simulation Tool) used by Rijkswaterstaat to check compliance with the hydrographic norms for MBES bathymetric measurements.

During his studies Christiaan mainly focused on effects of anthropogenic pressures on marine organisms and the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems. In this period, he managed field experiments in Sweden and Wales, the UK, and worked for three months with local people at the NGO Shoals on the remote island of Rodrigues, Mauritius. Christiaan's work experience and contacts at different institutes provides him with an excellent network within the marine ecology and a broad experience with regard to marine projects. These include Building with Nature, Natura 2000, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Shellfish aquaculture and conservation, marine litter, coastal defence and offshore industries. At the North Sea foundation Christiaan works as program manager for the topic Marine Protected Areas.
Karin van der Reijden
PhD candidate University of Groningen
k.j.van.der.reijden*rug.nl
Born and raised in Schiedam (the Netherlands), Karin moved to Groningen to study Marine Biology at the University of Groningen. During this study she specialized in marine ecology, with an interest for applied studies in (trophic) interactions between organisms and with their environment. So did Karin join the research team of the project 'Waddensleutels', which studied the effects of intertidal mussel beds on the food web. After obtaining her master's degree cum laude in 2013, Karin was employed by the research institute "Wageningen Marine Research" in IJmuiden (the Netherlands). For 2 years, she worked at various projects, all directed at bycatch and discards in the Dutch demersal fisheries. Relevant research questions were: "Which species are discarded and in which quantities?", "What percentage of discarded plaice, sole and dab survives the discard process?" and "Is the pulse trawl a sustainable alternative for the traditional beam trawl?". In May 2016 Karin started as a PhD-candidate in the DISCLOSE project at the University of Groningen.
Han Olff
Project leader University of Groningen
h.olff*rug.nl
Han Olff is a recognized international expert on the structure and functioning of diverse communities and ecosystems, with special attention on how plants, herbivores, predators and decomposers interact in ecosystems. His first major contribution was on understanding how, and under which conditions vertebrate herbivores promote the diversity of plants. More recently, Olff found that top-down (predation) and bottom-up (food-related) forces in savanna food webs are strongly interconnected. His field studies in the Serengeti have revealed that landscape gradients in rainfall and soil fertility not only affect the quantity and quality of food, but also govern the interaction between herbivores and their movement ecology. Building on these discoveries, Olff recently unraveled the interplay of entire green (herbivore-based) and brown (detrivore-based) food webs in a coastal saltmarsh. His work on hybrid interactions networks initiated new studies of non-trophic interactions in European and west-African soft-bottom intertidal systems, where 'ecosystem engineers' (e.g. lugworms, sea grasses, saltmarsh plants) are critical determinants of abiotic conditions, thus playing a key role in food webs, interaction networks and biodiversity. This work is not only of fundamental importance, but also highly relevant for local, regional and global nature protection and restoration plans. Olff is active in translating the findings of his research into advice on a variety of terrestrial and marine nature conservation issues, both in the Netherlands and in Africa (South Africa, Mauritania, Tanzania, Kenya). He is a prominent science communicator in the field of ecology and conservation who is frequently interviewed by radio, television and newspapers and plays an active role in conservation debates on social media.
Laura Govers
Co-supervisor University of Groningen
l.l.govers*rug.nl
I am a passionate marine ecologist that studies ecosystem-scale processes in coastal ecosystems across the world. My research mainly focusses on the Wadden Sea, where I study long-distance interactions between mudflats and islands, biogeomorphological processes, focussing on the lower trophic levels (especially sea grasses). Although my research is discovery-driven, I strongly collaborate with managers and NGOs to contribute to evidence-based coastal conservation. Therefore, the DISCLOSE project, in which I co-supervise Karin van der Reijden (PhD-candidate), strongly fits both my research interests and conservation goals.

❶That is, SWB is defined in terms of the internal experience of the individual.
It was a young man by the name of Jason who was been sober for about sixty days. He expressed how he was experiencing some trouble at work and at home. He received his quarterly evaluation from his supervisor and he thought that he was evaluated unfairly. When he brought this issue to his supervisor, his supervisor started to curse at him.
Then when he went home, he found out that his wife was secretly spending their savings on gambling. Our texts, workbook, and DVD all points out that as leaders, we do not have to be afraid of conflict and dealing with it. The group leader did an excellent job in dealing with the rude participate by encouraging Jason to continue his burning desire.
The middle, or working, stage is the stage of the group when the members focus on the purpose Jacobs et. Throughout the meeting, group members discussed different topics and shared their personal experiences. They also realized why they were there and did not stray from the topic. Even though there were newcomers in the group, it was easy for them to participate because they could relate to what was being said by other members of the group.
The natural leader of the group was a woman by the name of Beverly. Beverly has been sober for thirty years as of September 5, She is a teacher by trade and she continues to attend meetings. During the meeting, she reflected on her journey on staying sober.
She came from a family of alcoholics. Alcohol has caused a strain on her relationship with her son and she feels that her being an alcoholic added undue stress to his life.
She said something that I thought was profound during her testimonial. She stated that in order for her to stay sober, she had to look for the lesson that God was trying to teach her. I do believe that Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are effective ways to treat alcohol.
Alcoholism is not something that can be treated alone. It is important to maintain physical, mental, and spiritual health while achieving sobriety. In each testimony given, everyone had a different way they initially made their approach to get better. Those who attend AA meeting realize that they have lost the capability to control their drinking. Because of this, they need the help and support of other alcoholics in A.

Catalan trial verdicts
Amnesty International criticises Catalan trial ruling and calls for release of Jordis

Barcelona. Saturday, 16 November 2019. 18:47
Updated Saturday, 16 November 2019. 19:08
Read in Catalan
Amnesty International is calling for the release of Jordi Sànchez and Jordi Cuixart and criticizes the Spanish Supreme Court rulings that sentenced Catalan pro-independence leaders to a total of 100 years in prison. In particular, the human rights organization believes Spanish justice has made a dangerous error in its interpretation of the crime of sedition. On Friday, Amnesty announced that it would present its findings on the court ruling next Tuesday, November 19th.
For the moment, top Amnesty International officials have made statements and the human rights organization published the report in French on its Swiss branch's website, only to remove it shortly afterwards. Amnesty plans to officially present its conclusions at a press conference on Tuesday.
#Catalogne | Jordi Sànchez et Jordi Cuixart doivent être libérés immédiatement et leurs condamnations pour sédition annulées, a déclaré Daniel Joloy, conseiller principal Droit et politique à Amnesty International.https://t.co/jPUFq7O7qC
— Collectif Wallon pour la Catalogne. (@WalloCat) November 15, 2019
"Although our analysis has not revealed any evidence to conclude that the whole trial was unfair, it is clear that the Supreme Court has made an interpretation which is too wide of the crime of sedition, and this entails the criminalization of legitimate acts of protest," said Amnesty International's principal director of administration, law and politics, Daniel Joloy.
In addition, Amnesty considers that "the definition of the crime of sedition of the Spanish penal code is imprecise and that the interpretation of this definition is too general and dangerous."

New UAA coach has plenty to do while waiting for season to start
Author: Beth Bragg
New UAA hockey coach Matt Curley will hold his first practice on Sept. 4. (Bob Hallinen / ADN)
Matt Curley is practicing patience as he settles into his new job as UAA's hockey coach.
He found a place to live in Anchorage and is busy at the school greeting veteran players who are returning to school and newcomers who are arriving on campus for the first time.
At the same time, two significant matters remain unresolved:
— The hiring of a new assistant coach to replace one of the men who Curley brought on board shortly after becoming the Seawolves' bench boss.
— An NCAA decision on the eligibility of Anchorage forward Alec Butcher, who was one of the team's top scorers after joining the team as a senior transfer halfway through last season.
Curley is in the market for an assistant coach because Dana Borges, one of two assistant coaches Curley hired this summer, decided to take a job elsewhere.
Curley didn't say where Borges is going "out of respect to his new employer," which hasn't yet announced the hiring of Borges. Last season Borges was an assistant coach at Williams College in Massachusetts.
UAA begins practice in less than two weeks, and while it would be nice to have a full coaching staff by then, Curley said he'd rather make a good hire than a swift one.
"I don't want to make it a quick hire just for the sake of getting someone in," he said. "We want the right person for right position. Until then we're hunkering down (and) filling in holes where they need to be filled."
Curley said "a number of qualified candidates and people have reached out and shown their interest" in joining the staff.
"I'm excited about the prospects and hopefully getting that done sooner than later," he said.
[UAA hockey team will go nearly 2 months without a home game in 2018-19]
As for Butcher, UAA is still awaiting to hear if the NCAA will grant him another season of eligibility.
Butcher has played 2.5 seasons of college hockey. He played two seasons at Sacred Heart University of Connecticut and then sat out 1.5 seasons after transferring to UAA. He sat out the entire 2016-17 season and didn't become eligible to play for the Seawolves until the second half of last season.
In 16 games last season, Butcher scored eight goals and five assists, numbers that ranked him second on the team in goals and fifth in points.
"Alec is still on the fence," Curley said. "We're just working through the process and hopefully we'll get an answer here soon (and) hopefully we'll have a good decision and move forward with it."
UAA opens the season Sept. 28 with an exhibition game against Simon Fraser University at the McDonald Center in Eagle River.
Curley said the Seawolves are a mix of players back from last season's 4-28-4 team, recruits signed by former coach Matt Thomas and players Curley recruited after being hired to replace Thomas.
"It's kind of a hodgepodge class," he said, "but one we're happy with."

In an effort to pay down its massive debts, iHeartMedia is set to file for an IPO, a move by the bankrupt internet radio company which could be indicative of what the future may hold for other music companies involved in radio, and specifically internet radio, may do moving forward.
iHeartMedia is about to file an IPO that's meant to pay down its massive debt, but could show what the future of music radio in the United States is going to be. The company, which is the largest station group in the country with 848 stations, filed paperwork earlier in the month for the potential offering.
There's more to this than just the financials, however. Radio, especially music radio, is changing fast and what happens here might give us a sense of what the future might bring to both.
If you look at the numbers in various reports and surveys, radio listenership is stronger than ever. Despite giant inroads made by streaming, radio is still the most consumed audio source in the car and there are a host of other metrics that seem to indicate that radio is still popular and growing. There's a chink in the data armor though. The number of listeners below the age of 25 is decreasing rapidly, as radio becomes unimportant for music consumption to them.
Radio used to be the primary driver of new music. Listeners discovered new artists from the radio, and program directors, even in small markets, had the ability to "break" a song that was relatively unknown by the rest of the country.
Since there are so many other audio entertainment sources available, radio has taken a hit in advertising as well. Although iHeart's revenue is still strong at a bit less than $1 billion, just give a listen to most stations during a commercial pod and you'll probably hear at least one free public service announcement. Radio listeners are clearly fed up with the commercial load per hour, yet radio in general insists on having as many commercial spots as possible, even if they're not generating money. That's not a way to attract new and skeptical listeners.
Record labels still view radio as important though – not so much for breaking an artist but for taking what already has traction to the next level. Radio may not deliver the prime music lovers, but it does deliver casual music consumers, which is a bigger market but tougher to crack.
iHeartMedia has not stood still in terrestrial radio though. It made a big move into digital as soon as CEO Bob Pittman (of MTV fame) took over in 2010, and now boasts 128 million registered users. It's value to the music industry is in the terrestrial stations it owns however, even though the company's online offering is close to Spotify in consumption among what's known as "heavy listeners." iHeart provides radio stations online while most of the music consumers that count to the music industry want on-demand or customized playlists that they get from most streaming services.
So iHeartMedia's IPO should be interesting in that it will give the company some financial breathing room and space to work. Will it continue to offer up the same old radio the same way, or will it try to innovate in an attempt to get Gen-Z on board? If it does nothing to change, music radio's audience will continue to erode until it's a shadow of its former self.

City approves snow clearing ordinance amendment, tables safe sidewalk travel routes
REED CITY — One approved, another tabled.
Following a lengthy discussion last Monday, the city council decided to approve an ordinance for snow removal while tabling action on designating safe sidewalk routes for students walking to school.
After approving an ordinance May 21, penalties for refusing to remove snow from sidewalks are now set at $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second offense and $300 for a third offense.
After reviewing a draft ordinance in March, some councilors felt the penalties for neglecting snow removal were too high. According to the draft, residents that neglect to remove snow could have faced a civil infraction and a fine between $200 and $500.
Councilors then discussed a proposal to establish a route system in the city students could use in the winter. Some councilors said the city should provide a service to make sure the routes are clear, and charging a fee to those that don't.
Disagreement arose because the city charter says it is the responsibility of the property owner to remove snow, City Manager Ron Howell said.
However, if the city approves the routes, there should be a way to make sure they reliably stay clear, which would mean hiring additional personnel or a third party to clear snow. But because the city charter says all sidewalks have to be clear, the city would have to provide that service to all paths.
"And we don't have funds to pay for clearing the entire city," Howell said.
That would mean having to raise revenue in taxes or in fees.
The city council decided to put off the issue and will discuss it further at future meetings.

Buy North East: Campaign is in keeping with ethos of Aberdeen family firm
by Erikka Askeland
An Aberdeen family firm has launched a review of its suppliers – to make sure it is buying locally wherever possible.
Greenwell, which supplies containers, cabins, modular buildings, office furniture, shelving and pallet racking, has become one of the latest firms to join the Buy North East Roll of Honour.
The company, which recently expanded its base at East Tullos, has a strong ethos of working closely with suppliers, reducing its carbon footprint and minimising transportation costs by buying locally.
Set up by father and son Richy and Mark Greenwell, along with Mark's sister Julie, the business was founded more than 20 years ago selling used office furniture.
And the commitment to helping north-east businesses shop locally, reduce waste and contain costs continues two decades on.
Greenwell Equipment also supplies office furniture and the firm has a showroom at its base in Greenbank Road.
Richy said: "The last couple of years have been interesting as regards office furniture.
"Many firms have downsized and so don't need as much furniture, and Greenwell has been happy to take unwanted desks, chairs and cabinets to recycle them.
"People are becoming more aware that you do not always need to buy new, there is a large amount of excellent quality used product available.
"The Buy North East campaign is in keeping with the whole ethos of Greenwell. We have analysed every purchase decision, and will continue to do so, to ensure that
"From using local specialist tradespeople, using local transport and sourcing building materials in Aberdeen, Greenwell buys locally as much as we possibly can.
"It's not just about supporting the local economy, but about building a relationship with suppliers.
"We buy as much as we can locally, and we are expanding our stocks to help our own customers buy locally as well."
In total, 460 companies have now backed the Buy North East campaign.
All firms need to do is pledge support by putting Buy North-East on their next board meeting agenda, then move at least one contract or piece of business to a local supplier.
The campaign is led by Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce, Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council – plus Aberdeen Journals and Scottish Enterprise.

It was about ten months ago, around the sufferfest that my out-of-shape attempt at the Lake Tahoe Marathon and the ridiculous mess that was Tough Mudder, that I decided to buckle down and get myself back in running shape. Since the Lake Tahoe run was one that I felt I could focus on for the next year, I decided to make it my goal.
As an interim goal, I wanted to finally hit my long-time goal mark of running a sub-1:30 half marathon. Training plans were drawn up, intervals were run, hill repeats and long runs all done. I made that goal at the Reno Rock 'n' River Half Marathon in early May, then slightly bettered it a few weeks later at Avenue of the Vines in Lodi, CA.
After those races, I took about a month off of serious training and just did a few runs a week - longish on weekends, and some unstructured speedwork and easy runs midweek. Beginning in July, I started back in with specific training aimed at Tahoe.
My training plan for Tahoe was a slightly modified version of my half marathon training plan - the format seemed to work for me, and I liked the way it was structured. So I upped the long run mileage, progressively increasing to marathon distance. The intervals were left the same, and the easy runs and progression runs were stretched out slightly.
Everything was working great - I did a 22 mile long run on the Tahoe Marathon course about a week and a half ago, on 8/21. It felt fine - it was really good to see the hills, and know I could run up them just fine. That week was the first one where my mileage topped 50 miles.
The next week - last week - I got right back into my normal schedule. Intervals on Tuesday, easy run Wednesday, Hills on Thursday. In retrospect, I can maybe remember a few twinges from my left leg, but I shook them off. Saturday was the Big Blue 10K, a trail race up at Incline, and everything felt fine up there. But Sunday morning was a different story.
I'd been feeling kind of beat up, and realized that the thing that I didn't build into my schedule was a back-off week. So, instead of the planned long run I had for last Sunday - 10 miles easy, 10 miles at race tempo and 2 miles easy, for 22 total - I decided to do a shorter run. In my head I thought I'd make it 14 miles - 2 easy, 10 tempo and 2 easy.
A lot of my controlled-speed runs happen on the treadmill, and that's where I went to do this one. After the first mile, though, my left shin was starting to hurt. I finished the warm-up, and boosted the speed to race pace. Pain got worse. After 2 miles of tempo, I just couldn't do any more, and called it a day.
At home, I iced the leg, and alternated compressing and elevating it. Monday was a rest day, and I skipped my regular Tuesday intervals to give it an extra day of rest. Wednesday I decided to test it out with an easy run - instead of my scheduled 45 minutes I decided to do my old 3 mile loop.
The first mile was OK, but I started feeling some twinges at the one mile mark. After the second mile, it was hurting, and by the time the third mile was done, I could tell that I was altering my stride to favor it. Not good.
I made an appointment with my doctor for later in the day, assuming he'd send me off for an x-ray. In fact, that's what happened - and he also shared with me what I'd feared, that it sounded like a stress fracture. Currently, I'm waiting on a call from him with the results.
And trying to figure out what to do. I've got a bunch more races I'm registered for - none over Labor day weekend, but one a weekend for a month or so after that.
Oh NO!! I'm so bummed for you, Turi! I could see that you have been really training hard for this one. Take it easy and see if a little rest helps. You're pretty close to your weekend of your goal race, so honestly I wouldn't worry about skipping the races in between if you need to. You've got your sights set on LTM and with an injury, I wouldn't pressure yourself to do those other races just because you've already paid.
Good luck! And I'll see you at LTM!
