![]() If owners failed to comply, their visitors would most likely terrorize them with mischief. The poor would go to the houses of the rich and demand their best food and drink. Each year, a beggar or student would be crowned the “lord of misrule” and eager celebrants played the part of his subjects. On Christmas, believers attended church, then celebrated raucously in a drunken, carnival-like atmosphere similar to today’s Mardi Gras. By the Middle Ages, Christianity had, for the most part, replaced pagan religion. First called the Feast of the Nativity, the custom spread to Egypt by 432 and to England by the end of the sixth century.īy holding Christmas at the same time as traditional winter solstice festivals, church leaders increased the chances that Christmas would be popularly embraced, but gave up the ability to dictate how it was celebrated. It is commonly believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival. Although some evidence suggests that his birth may have occurred in the spring (why would shepherds be herding in the middle of winter?), Pope Julius I chose December 25. Unfortunately, the Bible does not mention date for his birth (a fact Puritans later pointed out in order to deny the legitimacy of the celebration). In the fourth century, church officials decided to institute the birth of Jesus as a holiday. In the early years of Christianity, Easter was the main holiday the birth of Jesus was not celebrated. Is Christmas Really the Day Jesus Was Born? For some Romans, Mithra’s birthday was the most sacred day of the year. It was believed that Mithra, an infant god, was born of a rock. In addition, members of the upper classes often celebrated the birthday of Mithra, the god of the unconquerable sun, on December 25. Many peoples rejoiced during the winter solstice, when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight.Īlso around the time of the winter solstice, Romans observed Juvenalia, a feast honoring the children of Rome. Centuries before the arrival of the man called Jesus, early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. The middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world. Watch Christmas documentaries on HISTORY Vault How Did Christmas Start? December 25-Christmas Day-has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings form the basis of their religion. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Washington Irving Reinvents Christmas in AmericaĬhristmas is celebrated on December 25 and is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon.Is Christmas Really the Day Jesus Was Born?. Once we go into the store and look at the TVs they have on display, we realize that the $500 ones are cheaply made, the warranty is bad, and they’re probably going to break within a year. I used to think you could get a decent set for around $1,000, but learned that thinking you could get a great swingset for that price was like walking into Best Buy thinking you could get an awesome TV for under $500. The best swing sets cost at least $1,500 (2021 Update: about $2,000) However, the Riverview is significantly larger. They look almost the same right? 99% percent of people who view these sets online cannot tell the difference in size. Now take a look at the Gorilla Playsets Riverview, which has a 5 foot deck. Take a look at the Gorilla Playsets Nantucket, which has a 4 foot deck. You may save a little bit of money upfront by going with four feet, but in the long run, you’re going to wish you’d gone with a bigger set, and you might have to buy a new one in couple years. The main takeaway is this: sets with a four foot deck are very small. Oftentimes, parents will buy the larger sets when they want to entertain the whole family - from the littlest kids, up to their older brothers and sisters. If you choose to go with a set that has a six or seven foot deck, then even teenagers and adults will be able to play on it. The size of the bigger swingset is still compact enough to fit in smaller yards, younger children can still play easily, and even children into their early teens will be able to enjoy it.Īlso, the extra foot doesn’t add much cost considering the extra flexibility you’re going to get with the larger set. (Oh how I wish i had ONE swing set when I was younger, let alone TWO!)Ī set with a five foot deck is going to give you the most value, because you can use it for your younger kids who have no issue getting on the deck, AND it’ll last when they grow up. I’ve heard this same complaint countless times from parents who’ve come in to buy a second swingset for their 9 year olds - they have to get a new one because their kid got too big, and now they have to buy ANOTHER swing set. Sets that have 4 foot decks look almost identical to the 5 foot decks online, but they’re SO much smaller, and once your kids become 8 or 9 years old, the four foot swingset is just not going to be enough for them. Why at least 5 feet? Because if your swingset has a deck that’s shorter than that, your kids are going to outgrow it very quickly, and when you look at sets online that don’t have clear specifications, it’s easy to buy a set that’ll be too small when your kids get older. 1.) The best swing sets have at least a 5 foot high deck These are the top five features you should look for if you want a swingset that your children will enjoy for multiple years. You’ll avoid a lot of hassle by doing a little research upfront. It’s easy to go into a store or browse a catalog and buy a swingset for your children, but the only thing easier than buying a swingset, is buying a bad one. With the Fuel Economy Package, the Forte EX has a 27 mpg ‑US (8.7 L/100 km 32 mpg ‑imp) fuel consumption in city driving and 36 mpg ‑US (6.5 L/100 km 43 mpg ‑imp) in highway according to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For 2011, the EX and SX sedans are automatic-only, while the base sedan and all models of the Koup and Forte5 continue to offer the choice of manual or automatic.Īn optional Fuel Economy Package adds low resistance silica tires, a more efficient alternator, a five-speed automatic transmission, and aerodynamic enhancements to increase fuel efficiency. Later production models have soft-touch panels on the armrest and door, as well as on the dashboard. The SX also adds alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, a tilting and telescoping steering column, sport-cloth seats, and a metallic finish to the interior. The SX has the 2.4-liter engine with a six-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic transmission for the 2010 model year and a six-speed from the 2011 model year.

For the 2011 model year, the Forte is standard with a six-speed manual (replacing the 5 speed unit) and is available with an optional six-speed automatic, with the four- and five-speed automatics being discontinued. ![]() In the United States, the 2010 LX and EX included a 2.0-liter CVVT engine and a standard five-speed manual transmission, with an optional four-speed automatic or a five-speed automatic with the Fuel Economy Package. The 2010 Forte received a "Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). ĥ-speed manual, 4-speed automatic (6-speed automatic + paddle-shift as of 2011 model)ĥ and 6- speed manual, 4-, 5-, and 6-speed automatic The US model was unveiled at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show. The Korean model went on sale on 22 August 2008. The Forte two-door ("Koup") was previewed as the "Kia Koup" Concept, and was also designed in Kia's California design studio. The Forte sedan was designed in Kia's California design studio by Tom Kearns and his team. Three body styles, which are compact 4-door sedan, 5-door hatchback, and a new 2-door coupe body style was introduced. At the same time, the design of the rear suspension was simplified, which instead of independent multilink thrust became semi-dependent double-lever, with an elastic beam, which made it more reliable and easy to repair and maintain. However, ground clearance was reduced by a centimeter, thereby reducing the height by a centimeter. ![]() The car received a wider (4 cm) and longer (3 cm) body, a longer (4 cm) wheelbase and a wider (7 cm) gauge. Succeeding the first generation Cerato or second generation Spectra, several elements of the interior and suspension were changed. ![]() Kia has stated that the Forte was specifically designed to target younger buyers attracted to sharper auto designs. It shares the same platform as the Hyundai Avante/Elantra (HD), though employing a torsion-beam rear suspension in place of the Elantra's multilink design. In North America, the Forte replaced the Kia Spectra, while the Forte retained the Cerato name in numerous markets. The first generation Forte was introduced in 2008. ![]() While the iconic Australian novel was originally made into a movie in 1976, a contemporary reimagining of the original movie was released last month. (6) Producer Matt Carroll, recalling the beach shack in which the pelicans were raised, put it more pungently: 'It stank! Pelican shit smells.If you know South Australia’s Coorong like the back of your hand, or you’re keen to explore somewhere new, why not take some inspiration for your next visit from the new ‘Storm Boy’ movie, which was filmed at this stunning location. One thing pelicans will not do, however, is behave themselves at film premieres as Noel Purdon recounts, 'a plan to have them strolling elegantly in the foyer at the preview had to be dropped when the birds' wild ways asserted themselves' (5)-'wild ways' being, no doubt, a euphemism for another euphemism: 'pelicans are not fastidious in their toilet habits'. I think it's better to restrict oneself and only write down what is possible, rather than ask for the impossible. This influenced what I put in the script. I met the animal trainer on Storm Boy and we talked about what the pelicans would be able to do. Birds can be temperamental and if one was grumpy they would use another one.' (3) Scriptwriter Sonia Borg described these 'skill sets' as a major determinant in her adaptation of Colin Thiele's novella: Mike 'Storm Boy' Kingley himself, Greg Rowe, said: 'One was better at certain tricks than the others. So back to 'this pelican'-or, rather, pelicans, since the Mr Percival of the film was a composite of three different pelicans, each with different skill sets and temperaments. (2) Something of an exaggeration, given Potter was a kid-generated cult, and Storm Boy, a triumph of astutely targeted educational packaging and marketing, but there's some grain of truth there. To most schoolkids, Safran's film was-according to media personality David Koch-the Harry Potter of its time. Not that any schoolchild of the late 1970s and early 1980s, particularly a South Australian one, would need reminding of Storm Boy or what it was about. Substitute 'film' for 'book' and 'pelican' for 'whale', and you have something of both the media hype at the time of the making and screening of Storm Boy (Henri Safran, 1976) as well as the way in which memories of the film have lingered in a sort of collective Australian psyche: 'It's about this pelican.' Desperately: 'It's about this whale.' (1) 'It's worth picking up again.' Still no response. In the musical Wonderful Town, in an awkward moment, trying to make conversation, Rosalind Russell said: 'I was re-reading Moby Dick the other night.' Pause.

He passionately served the membership as Assistant Business Agent for the Local 251 for the last two years.Īlthough Dennis was wildly successful in all things he did, one thing he never won any awards for was his ability to get anyone he represented out of a jam.
