	Sky Coordinates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The horizon is the line where the land meets the sky.
		The meridian is the line running from the northern horizon, up through the north celestial pole, overhead through the zenith, then down to the southern horizon.
		Since the 360 degrees of the circle divided by 24 hours yields 15, this rate of motion corresponds to 15 degrees at the celestial equator.

	CD Baby: AL PETTEWAY & AMY WHITE: Land of the Sky

	Nice place to visit / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		And in his new book, Creating the Land of the Sky: Tourism and Society in Western North Carolina (University of Alabama Press, 2005), Starnes sees the neon mountaineer as both a conflicted cultural icon and a fitting symbol of what he calls "the defining force in western North Carolina": tourism.
		In 1875, travel writer Frances Fisher Tiernan wrote "The Land of the Sky" or Adventures in Mountain By-Ways under the pen name Christian Reid; Starnes credits the book both with coining the "Land of the Sky" moniker and with shaping nationwide attitudes about the allure of our mountains.
		In October 2005, the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority adopted a new slogan – replacing the chestnut "Land of the Sky" with "Any Way You Like It." And though historians are sometimes loath to comment on current events, Starnes was forthcoming in his assessment of WNC's latest catch phrase.

		Creating the Land of the Sky: Tourism and Society in Western North Carolina.
		Although he concludes that the "progress, government aid, and new opportunities" provided by the tourist industry were balanced by "the exploitation of labor, land and culture," it is clear that he sees such developments as ultimately positive.
		Considering the economic problems in the parts of Appalachia that have yet to develop a vibrant tourist economy, this is probably a fair assessment.
