AEV Brute Conversion - TechPosted in How To on May 4, 2007
It's been mistaken for a Jeep Scrambler, a military truck, and has even circulated through many Web forums in spy pics rumored to be a brand-new, soon-to-be-released Jeep offering. Although it could easily take on any of these personas, the AEV Brute is in fact its very own vehicle. It uses the '97-'06 Jeep Wrangler TJ as its base and incorporates a new rear tub section and a steel truck bed on a stretched, 117.4-inch wheelbase. It's part truck, part Jeep Wrangler, and hands down the coolest Jeep conversion we've ever seen.
AEV first premiered the Brute Concept Vehicle in 2002 at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Bringing home the DaimlerChrysler Design Excellence Award that year, the folks at AEV knew they were on to something. The company built a handful of turnkey Brutes in the following years before redesigning the vehicle so it could be offered in kit form. Significant alterations from the concept Brute included a redesigned stamped-steel bed and an all-new hardtop with increased headroom inside the cab. A frame-extension kit was also created to stretch the frame 24 inches, and a rear frame-extension kit with an integral winch mount and bumper was designed to add further support to the bed assembly. The rear frame extension and bed assembly create a 15-inch overhang, yet rear departure angle is virtually unchanged from stock.
In order to accommodate the lengthened wheelbase, Rubicon Express very easily manufactured a set of suspension-relocation brackets to AEV's specs, so we could move the rear upper control-arm mounts farther rearward on the frame. The Brute conversion can be installed with most aftermarket lift systems in place, and AEV offers suspension attachment solutions for many of these systems.
Though the Brute is billed as a kit, it actually ships 90-percent assembled, with quite a bit fewer components than you'd think it would take to complete such a conversion. Complete kit components include midframe extensions, a cab close-out assembly, a rear frame extension with a winch mount, a bed assembly, a hardtop, CNC-bent fuel and brake lines, an OE-style wiring harness, new rear body/bed mounts, detailed instructions, and all necessary hardware. The Brute conversion can be purchased piecemeal and built in stages using the cab close-out kit, the frame extension kit, the bed assembly, and the rear frame extension kit, or it can be assembled as a complete kit all at once.
AEV indicates that the average build time for the entire Brute conversion is less than 60 hours. We'll attempt to linger near this average as we carry out the conversion on our Project TJ in time for the Moab Easter Jeep Safari. With just two weeks to tackle the job, we sought assistance from Mel Wade of Off Road Evolution in Fullerton, California. Along with his qualified crew, Mel dove into the build headfirst, accomplishing the very important conversion-preparation tasks that are paramount to achieving the finest finished product. Check out the photos and captions for further details on 4 WHEEL DRIVE & SPORT UTILITY's AEV Brute Conversion Project, and tune in next month as we chop our TJ Wrangler in half and begin the conversion process.

(JNS.org) Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren said Sunday that if Syria transfers chemical weapons to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, it would be a "game changer" and a "red line" for Israel.
"We are watching the situation very carefully. Syria has a very varied, deep chemical weapons program. It is geographically dispersed as well. Were those weapons to pass in to the wrong hands, Hezbollah's hands, for example, that would be a game changer for us," Oren said in an interview with Fox News.
He added, "Can you imagine Hezbollah, with its 70,000 rockets, could get its hands on chemical weapons? That could kill thousands of people."


text: The 100,000th Versatile-built tractor rolled off the line in Winnepeg, Manitoba, on Oct. 26, 2011, a significant milestone in the company's 45-year history. The tractor was a Versatile 305 row-crop. The exhaust grille, exhaust tip, and steps were chrome-plated. The special mural decal features a sampling of all Versatile tractors built since 1966, though the 100,000 number includes some tractors for New Holland, Fiat and Caterpillar. The selling dealer was Yost Farm Equipment, represented by Jon Yost. The buyers, three generations of farmers, were Rodney, Chris and Cade Bracelin from Goodlands, Kan. They farm roughly 10,000 acres.

Innocent X, original name Giambattista Pamfili, (born May 7, 1574, Rome—died Jan. 7, 1655, Rome), pope from 1644 to 1655.
Pamfili was a church judge under Pope Clement VIII and a papal representative at Naples for Pope Gregory XV. He was made ambassador to Spain and cardinal (1626) by Pope Urban VIII, whom he succeeded on Sept. 15, 1644. Having been supported by cardinals who had opposed his predecessor, the elderly Innocent reversed Urban's policies, as demonstrated by his condemnation of the Peace of Westphalia—the collective name for the settlements of 1648, which brought to an end the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch and the German phase of the Thirty Years' War and alienated Catholic lands. But he reigned at a time when popes were no longer consulted by nations in settling war or making peace, and his protest went unnoticed by both sides.
Innocent's relationship with his relatives was questionable, for he was guilty of nepotism, and much of his pontificate was dominated by his avaricious sister-in-law, Olimpia Maidalchini. Innocent supported the Spanish Habsburgs—a branch of one of the great sovereign dynasties of Europe—by refusing to recognize the independence of Portugal, then at war with Spain. In Rome, Innocent attacked Urban's relatives, the Barberini, for extortion and confiscated their property. He clashed with France when the Barberini took refuge in Paris with Cardinal Mazarin, whose threat to invade Italy forced Innocent to yield. In theological matters he intervened in the quarrel between the Jesuits and the Jansenists and in a bull of 1653 condemned five propositions concerning the nature of grace as interpreted by Bishop Cornelius Jansen, the founder of Jansenism. A century of controversy with the Jansenists ensued, which was particularly damaging to the French Church. By the time of Innocent's death, papal prestige had seriously declined.

Get directions to Wabash College Fine Arts Center
The Wabash College Theater Department will present the Tony Award-winning Broadway play, Side Man by Warren Leight, which will run from February 21-24 in Ball Theater in the Fine Arts Center. The performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. each evening.
Winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Best Play, Side Man spans three decades in the life of a Manhattan musician. Playwright Warren Leight, whose father was a sideman, incisively captures the pulse and climate of the New York jazz scene, with crisp dialogue and clearly drawn characters. It is a tender, deeply personal memory play about the turmoil of a jazz trumpeter's family as his career crumbles at the dawn of the age of rock-and-roll.
Set in 1953 and traveling to 1985, this funny and poignant memory play unfolds through the eyes of Clifford, the only son of Gene, a jazz trumpet player, and Terry, an alcoholic mother. Alternating between their New York City apartment and a smoke-filled music club, Clifford narrates the story of his broken family and the decline of jazz as popular entertainment. Clifford recalls the key moments in his life, such as the day when he, fresh out of college, picked up his first unemployment check and was congratulated by Gene and his band mates. Gene's music career on the big band circuit ultimately crumbles with the advent of Elvis and rock-n-roll. Terry begs him to get a nine-to-five job to support the family, but Gene refuses to enter the "straight world" of regular paychecks, mortgages and security. For Gene, who knows jazz better than his own son, music is not just a job; it's his life.
"Side Man is an elegy for two things—a lost world and a lost love. When the two notes sound together in harmony, it is moving and graceful…Side Man evokes their loss with sweet, but never sentimental, poignancy." N.Y. Daily News.
The cast list includes Wabash students: Braden Pemberton as Clifford; Matt Goodrich as Gene; Spencer Elliott as Al; Patrick McAlister as Ziggy; and Sterling Carter as Jonesy. Guest actress Jenny McKnight stars as Terry and Patsy will be played by Anna Ardizzone.
Michael Abbott is the director. Production stage manager is Cody Grady and assistant stage director is Anthony Morton.
Seating for Theater productions will be by general admission, though free tickets are required for Theater productions.
For tickets contact the Fine Arts Center Box Office by email at firstname.lastname@example.com; phone: 765-361-6411. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:30 to 4 p.m. The box office will open 90 minutes before curtain time. Tickets not claimed at the Box Office 10 minutes prior to curtain will be released to the general public.
The final theater production for the 2006-2007 season will be Two Gentlemen of Verona on April 18-21.

About PGP_Protector
Sorry their's a Patent on Software Summits, we're going to have to shut you down now.
So writing post about Toronto District School Board, and Guns gets them to trigger their 0 tolerance police calls?
Wouldn't that mean that they have to call the police on themselves any time they post about no GUNS ALLOWED in School, after all we're talking about GUNS BEING or not in the Toronto District School Board buildings?
So, it's my device. If I wish to Block 100% of the ads on My Device, I can & will. If Googe's store will block the app, I'll load and install it directly from the developer (Thanks for allowing side loading of aps)
Didn't Two Girls make a video about that?
How long tell private servers come out?
If This guys daughter is being damaged by a web posting about giraffes, then she either weaker then a dandelion, or he has her so screwed up that she should be taken away.
So the Vatican News has an Archive, unknown if it's been tampred with though.
1) Where's the Archive of all the tweets that someone always seems to have ?
2) How long tell they go after the Archives saying they also need to be deleted ?
She's got her mouth full.
Remember this is California you're talking about. Land of the Fruits & Nuts. Problem is the people took that to heart and put a bunch of Fruitflakes & Nuts in charge.
Reading the title, I thought it was going to be about a taste test (and no one being able to tell the difference)

Behringer U-Control UMA25S
If you've decided to start making music on a laptop, there's a good chance that you want to keep your setup as portable as possible. If this is the case, you'll most likely want to invest in a portable controller keyboard. We've picked out eight of the most popular models, starting with a little red devil from Behringer.
On the plus side, the UMA25S is slim, striking, comes with a decent range of controllers and has a built-in audio interface. There are a few minus points too, however - the keys don't have much travel and the knobs on the back are a bit fiddly. All told, though, it's a decent proposition, and even comes with a strap so that you can wear it like a keytar (you know you want to).
Novation 25 SL Mk II
The second version of the acclaimed SL features a semi-weighted Fatar keyboard, better drum pads and LED-encircled rotaries. Sliders and pots are now touch-sensitive, and the support for Novation's Automap 3 software eases the setting up process considerably. It's not cheap, but if you want a keyboard that gives you more, look no further.
E-MU Xboard 25
Designed, seemingly, with function rather than fashion in mind, the Xboard is a light and reasonably sturdy controller keyboard. The keys feel good, too, as do the 16 rotaries, but these are rather too close together for comfort. What's more, the 12 editing keys are a little too flimsy and loose for our liking. On the plus side, the Proteus X LE virtual sound module, which features more than 2,500 sounds, comes in the box too.
Korg microKontrol
Easily the coolest-looking controller here (Imogen Heap takes a couple on stage with her), the microKontrol also benefits from having a 3-octave, 37-note keyboard. There is a caveat, though: the keys are mini, restricting playability somewhat. However, with 16 pads, eight rotaries, eight sliders and a joystick being in the mix too, this is a classy and comprehensive solution.
Arturia Analog Factory Experience
Whereas some controllers ship with a software bundle as a 'bonus', here, the Analog Factory application is very much a headliner. It comes with over 2,000 classic synth presets, and you get a very well-built 32-note controller keyboard (this integrates tightly with the software) to play them with. This is made for Arturia by CME and, of course, can also be used as a standard MIDI keyboard.
Akai MPK25
The MPK25 is most notable not for its keys (of which there are 25), but for its MPC-style pads, which feel great (MPC Note Repeat and Swing features are included, too). Other assignable controllers include 12 knobs and four buttons, and you even get an arpeggiator. The whole package feels well-thought-out and performs superbly.
Edirol PCR-300
Edirol has been making controller keyboards for longer than most, and the PCR-300 feels like the culmination of years of hard work. There's just so much to it: pads, rotaries, sliders, DAW controls - even a crossfader. We like the side-panel positioning of the connections, and to top it all off, the 32 keys are extremely playable.
M-Audio Axiom 25
Having played a massive role in popularising the 25-note keyboard concept with its Oxygen series, M-Audio released this enhanced controller in 2007. Extra features include eight drum pads, endless rotaries and semi-weighted keys. It remains an excellent little keyboard and, if you want an even more advanced model, you can check out the Axiom Pro 25.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone followers got breitling replica two conflicting pieces of data regarding its $499 price point. In one survey done by an online shopping firm Compete as louis vuitton replica reported by MacWorld UK, only one percent of the consumers who said they were likely to buy an iPhone said swiss replica watches they would pay $500 for it. Sounds bad right? Stay tuned -- there's a gotcha in that survey that I'll address in a minute.On omega replica the other side of the pricing gap, though, was an article in Friday's Boston Globe that insists that increasingly, cell phone buyers are insisting on style over hublot replica circuitry. That report features a lovely portfolio of cell phones that are currently hot rolex replica fashions, including the Prada/LG black touch-screen phone and the Dolce Gabbana gold RAZR. Not one of the phones featured with a price had a price less than $700, making the $500 Apple iPhone look like the cartier replica bargain of the bunch. So which view should we believe?My view is that Apple is marketing the iPhone, not as a phone for "the rest of us", but as a mass-market luxury item. Designer products such as those noted in the Globe article have high prices for louis vuitton replica one essential reason: they create exclusivity and thereby, desirability. Apple has chosen a relatively high price for the iPhone omega replica for the same reason: to position it as an aspirational purchase, similar to a Fendi handbag or replica watches Jimmy Choo shoes. And by introducing it at $500, iPhones will remain rare enough that they will garner replica watches uk the same types of attention, at least for the first year or two.

Just in time for the elections, actress and political activist Jane Fonda and music producer Richard Perry have sold their house in Hollywood Hills West for $8.5 million.
The traditional-style home was built in 1942 for actor Ronald Reagan and his first wife, actress Jane Wyman, according to Ronald Reagan Presidential Library archives.
The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom main house, a swimming pool, a Balinese-style pool house and a tennis court sit on the three-quarter-acre view lot.
Fonda, 74, won an Oscar in 1972 for her work in "Klute" and another in 1979 for "Coming Home." She has protested the Iraq and Vietnam wars and advocated for women's rights.
The actress is in line for a comedy series in the works at ABC called "Now What?" Fonda will play First Lady Nancy Reagan in "The Butler," a movie due out next year.
Perry, 70, has produced albums for such singing stars as Rod Stewart and Carly Simon. Fonda and Perry started dating several years ago and recently bought a house in the Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills.
Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker's Beverly Hills South office and Dena Luciano of Keller Williams in Hollywood Hills were the listing agents. Branden Williams and Rayni Romito of Hilton & Hyland represented the buyer.
Includes a polo, not political, arena
A 30-acre equestrian property that was once part of ranch land owned by Ronald and Nancy Reagan when he was California governor is on the market in Murrieta's Tenaja Valley at $3.9 million.
The spread includes a five-acre seasonally fed lake, a lakeside house, a regulation-size polo field with two grandstands, an eight-acre pasture, nine corrals, three wells and a 2,750-square-foot barn with skylights. The 1,500-square-foot house, built with stones from the site in 1996, features two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The property is part of more than 750 acres the Reagans bought in the area in the late 1960s and sold more than a decade later.
Anne Sturm of Tarbell Realtors is the listing agent.
Exorcising ghosts in Beverly Hills?
Actor-screenwriter Billy Bob Thornton has listed his mansion in Beverly Hills for sale at $9.995 million.
Built in 1929, his 11,012-square-foot Spanish-style house features a two-story living room, a recording studio, a gym, a library, nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The walled and gated lot of more than a half-acre includes a swimming pool, a spa, fountains and a paddle tennis court.
Thornton bought the property with his then-wife Angelina Jolie in 2000 for $3.75 million from former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash (Saul Hudson), according to L.A. Times archives.
Thornton, 57, directed, wrote and starred in the movie "Sling Blade" (1996), for which he won a best screenplay adaptation Oscar. He subsequently appeared in "The Apostle" (1997), "Armageddon" (1998) and "Pushing Tin" (1999). This year, he directed, co-wrote and appears in "Jayne Mansfield's Car."
The blues singer-songwriter, who has released several albums, is the author of "The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts," published this year.
Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency is the listing agent.
Pistons action off the court
Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores and his wife, Holly, have put a house in gated Mulholland Estates up for sale at $10.75 million.
Although the Multiple Listing Service considers the community in the 90210 ZIP Code to be the Beverly Hills Post Office area, The Times' Mapping L.A. database shows the mansion sits within Sherman Oaks.
The Mediterranean, custom built in 1992, features a family room with exposed beams, a paneled library, two bars, five fireplaces, a screening room, six bedrooms and eight bathrooms in 11,107 square feet. Arched glass doors in an enclosed loggia lead to the lawn, a saltwater swimming pool with spa, a bathhouse and a gazebo on the more than three-quarters of an acre of grounds.
Billionaire Gores and his Beverly Hills-based private equity firm, Platinum Equity, became the owners last year of Palace Sports and Entertainment, which includes the Pistons.
The couple paid $4.595 million for the property in 1999, public records show. They own a house on Grosse Ile, Mich., south of Detroit, and other Westside properties.
Christine Martin, Samira Gores and Tiffany Martin of Hilton & Hyland are the listing agents.
All part of his new normal
Whether or not a $6.5-million offer was music to "Glee" co-creator and writer Ryan Murphy's ears, he has let his Malibu beach house go for that amount. Murphy bought the contemporary Mediterranean last year for $6,562,500.
Entered through a courtyard with a koi pond, the nearly 2,100-square-foot view home along the ocean includes two fireplaces, three en suite bedrooms and a powder room. The beachfront deck features a cabana, a spa, an outdoor shower and a fire pit.
Murphy, 46, co-created "American Horror Story" (2011-present) and this year's comedy "The New Normal." The "Nip/Tuck" creator wrote and directed the movie "Eat Pray Love" (2010).
Ann Eysenring of Partners Trust in Beverly Hills was the listing agent. Linda Kanner of PreVue Properties represented the buyer.
A cliffhanger for Venice home
Director-producer Renny Harlin has listed his house in Venice at $1.999 million.
The three-level home features an open floor plan, radiant-heated polished concrete floors, balconies, two master bedrooms with fireplaces, another bedroom, an office and 21/2 bathrooms in 2,756 square feet of living space.
Harlin, 53, has worked on such films as "Die Hard 2" (1990), "Cliffhanger" (1993) and "Deep Blue Sea" (1999). On television, he has directed episodes of "White Collar" (2012) and "Burn Notice" (2011-12). He is an ex-husband of Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis.
Harlin paid $1.7 million for the property in 2004, public records show. He has been leasing it out.
Jennifer Hughes of Bulldog Realtors is the listing agent.

Nearly a century ago Americans decided to make drinking alcohol illegal – and then promptly and widely ignored their own new law.
Prohibition turned liquor distribution into a lucrative business for criminal gangs. Yet it was spawned, at least in part, by an altruistic American notion that society could be improved to form "a more perfect union."
This Sunday (8 to 10 p.m. EDT) America's preeminent documentary historian, Ken Burns, begins a 5-1/2-hour series that turns his prodigious research efforts and illuminating camerawork on "Prohibition."
That era, from the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919 to its repeal 13 years later, is a subject that means so much more to America than just gangsters, flappers, and jazz, he says.
"We've got all of that. But it's so much more complicated," Mr. Burns says in a phone interview. "It's kind of an inside look at the original culture war, with all of these folks trying to assert control over other folks."
In part, it's the story of single-issue political campaign that resulted in unintended consequences, he says. It all may sound strangely familiar.
"It's got every single one of today's [issues]," he says, "demonization of recent immigrants, smear campaigns during presidential elections – everything that we think is so new to us is, in fact, a recapitulation of the original culture war."
"Prohibition" takes viewers from early 19th century efforts at "temperance" to 1920, when prohibition was enacted as a reaction to massive changes in American society, to 1933, when it is repudiated and repealed. Just how America changes over this period is reflected in the titles of the three installments: "A Nation of Drunkards," "A Nation of Scofflaws," "A Nation of Hypocrites."
The series, narrated by Peter Coyote, features music by jazz great Wynton Marsalis, as well as the voices of actors Tom Hanks, Jeremy Irons, Paul Giamatti, Oliver Platt, John Lithgow, Samuel L. Jackson, Patricia Clarkson, Sam Waterston, and others.
Below is more of what Burns had to say, edited and condensed.
How did the project come about?
I bumped into Dan Okrent on the Brooklyn Bridge. You know, [the bridge] was the subject of my first film. I was pushing, then, a newborn baby, my little gal, over the Brooklyn Bridge, and I bumped into Dan and he said, "I know what your next film is going to be...."
He's also friends with Lynn Novick, who is my co-director and coproducer on this, a longtime collaborator. And they'd been conspiring, so it was all fortuitous. He was embarking on a book project [about prohibition], and we were happy to share our research with him and he shared his with us.
Did Daniel Okrent write a companion book about prohibition for your series?
He did a book called "Last Call." It's not a companion book.
What was the research like?
It was our usual deep dive.... This required us to take a lot of time, to work with a lot of scholars, to interview a lot of people ... lots of witnesses from all across the country. It required us to find incredible footage in the most unlikely places and, of course, go to hundreds of archival places to find the still photographs [that] make it come alive.
How long did it take to make?
The decision to do it was about six years ago. The actual intense work has been over the last three-plus years. And that's normal for us.
What was the biggest challenge in pulling it together?
I think understanding the levels and complexity of the story to represent [prohibition accurately.] We are all distracted, understandably, by the gangster story. By the flapper story. And we have that. The film is sexy, and it's violent, and it's dramatic. All that stuff.
But invariably we permit Al Capone to distract us from the fact that bankers, newspaper reporters, I'm sure filmmakers, judges, regular people, were routinely breaking the law [to drink alcohol]....
Human beings have been drinking alcohol as long as there have been human beings, and all of a sudden we decided to take what was a very serious social problem – it was called drunkenness in the 19th century, alcoholism today, something that afflicts a terribly large number of people, perhaps 10 percent of the population – and we decided to impose a solution on 100 percent of the people....
We loved getting to know people who would have been front page news in that day besides Al Capone.... [such as] Wayne B. Wheeler [general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League], who said he could make the US Senate sit up and beg. How come we don't know more about him?
The "drys," who wanted to end drunkenness, were sincere reformers with an admirable cause. But the question seems to be whether they went about it the right way with the 18th Amendment and prohibition.
They just didn't really think it through. Because you had Democrats as well as Republicans, you had progressives ... you had the Ku Klux Klan that was for prohibition. So was the NAACP.... The captains of industry, Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, were for it because obviously alcohol cut down on output and productivity. So you have all these strange bedfellows....
It was a way for small town America to get back to some idealized, never-happened vision of America....
The original social impulse was how to help people who were afflicted with addiction to alcohol. But all of a sudden it really got hijacked.
The politics behind passing and then repealing the 18th Amendment seems very contemporary.
The politics is no different.... One of the things I've spent my entire professional life trying to do is to remove the onus of the past. That is to say, we in the present exert an enormous arrogance over past events. It has to do with the fact that we're here and they're not. And what we fail to do is to extend to those people who went before us the full lives that we live now. They lived just as rich existences as we do. And we fail to understand that.
Could the "drys" have saved the amendment if they had been willing to compromise?
I don't know whether they could have saved it.... The moral certainty is so great that they can't see – what they want is more and more enforcement – which is only going to make the problem worse.
This had in it very legitimate progressive ideas, that America could improve itself. If you look at the spate of amendments starting in 1865, they are all about taking the preamble of the Constitution literally – we're there to make a more perfect union. That while the Constitution heretofore has been a dry, operating instruction manual for how to do it, we now have eliminated slavery, we now have extended voting rights to African-Americans, we aren't going to discriminate on the basis of race.
Oh, by they way, we're going to have an income tax to redistribute the wealth. Oh, by the way, we're going to elect our senators directly. Oh, by the way, we're going to eliminate alcohol. Oh, by the way, we're going to allow women to vote.
This is an amazing time of a very positive sense that government could be a major force in creating that shining city on the hill ... we were obligated to fix society.
And what people, perhaps naively, perhaps blindly, fixed on was the notion that you could do it all by getting rid of alcohol.
It turns out that the thing you can't have, alcohol, is what you want the most?
Mark Twain said "Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits." But his last line is, "It is the prohibition that makes anything precious."
We do still legislate against other "sins" such as gambling, smoking, use of drugs.
Let's set the record straight: We do legislate morality. We have laws against murder. We have laws against stealing....
The rub is in all these places where we're not sure, where we perceive a victimless crime.... [Prohibition] asks questions about how we handle gambling [today], how we handle drugs, particularly.
Did anything good come from going through prohibition?
I think that we're suspicious of the panacea, the magic bullet, the cure all.
We learned a lesson?
In some ways the whole story is a positive one for a democratic people. We had this notion, however naive but very democratic, that we could vote in this notion that we thought would help society. It didn't, and we got rid of it. That's a good story – oops, we made a mistake.

Your one stop portal for unbiased reviews on the best online horoscopes.
People read their horoscopes for many different reasons, whether for self discovery, entertainment, or scientific interest, each person has his own justification for reading that daily, weekly, or monthly prediction. Most people will tell you that their personalities fit perfectly with their zodiac sign. Virgos will say they are perfectionist and obsessed with organization; Sagittarians will tell it like it is; and Taurans will be bull-headed and stubborn. Even when a horoscope is wrong for you, it's right – for someone.
We have found the best horoscopes written by astrologers and provided free online. It goes without saying that this is not an exhaustive list of free horoscopes, these are our favorites, hidden gems and 'my gosh what were they thinking' sites, all with one thing in common, they are free and written by astrologers.

Horoscopes date back to the time of the ancient Greeks, and have remained a popular practice in many cultures for hundreds of years. These days, one can hardly read a newspaper or magazine without stumbling across their daily or monthly horoscope. But what exactly is it about these day-to-day predictions that fascinate us?
For some, reading their morning horoscope provides a sense of security. Fear of the unknown has always run deep in humanity, and phobias such as lygophobia, the fear of darkness, and necrophobia, the fear of death, stem from the insecurity of not knowing what to expect. For many people, being given some form of prediction for the day, week, or year to come can be an addictively comforting sensation.
For others, it is simply the nature of how horoscopes are created that's intriguing. The practice of astrology has survived for centuries, and is still a common fascination for people of all ages and backgrounds. Horoscopes in particular are based on the Zodiac, which uses a person's date of birth to make general predictions about their nature and personality. The Zodiac is a particularly relatable branch of astrology because of its unique blend of easy access and personal application. It requires no third party, psychic reading, or complex ritual. It's as simple as opening the morning paper, yet because it has a category that applies specifically to anyone who reads it, it feels somewhat personal and therefore easy to trust.
Yet another attraction horoscopes hold is the potential positive effect on morale and mindset. Horoscopes often point out areas of interest such as money, love, friendship and family to focus on throughout the day. If a horoscope reader felt moved to pay attention to what their horoscope had advised, this is likely to lead to a positive outcome with or without credit to mystic forces. For instance, if an accountant were advised to be particularly aware of monetary matters, he may find himself more intent on work that day.
Whatever the reason, many people find themselves compelled to check their horoscope on a regular basis. These everyday fortune-telling devices have not failed to hold our interest since their conception centuries ago, and promise to continue to entertain and comfort us for years to come.
If you are one of the many million people who check their daily horoscope you will find www.top100horoscopes.com your one stop online destination for all the best horoscopes written by credible astrologers, complete with reviews and testimonials.

Sen. Orrin Hatch: 'I'm planning on running again'
Salt Lake City —
(KUTV) Senator Orrin Hatch basked in praise on Friday, speaking before a supportive crowd at the Women Tech Awards, downtown at the Grand America.
Meantime, a report in The Atlantic, said Hatch has been telling friends he's leaving the Senate, to make way for a likely election victory for Mitt Romney.
"Right now, you are planning to run?" KUTV2News asked the senator.
"I'm planning on running again," Hatch replied, but added what seemed to be two caveats.
First, concerns from his wife Elaine, who is against race number eight.
"She's always worried about me," said Hatch. "Certainly I'm going to give great consideration to what she thinks, but as of right now, I'm planning on running."
Then, there is Mitt Romney, whom Hatch has said he would like to see as his successor.
"I've made a decision to run, unless my friend Mitt Romney calls me, and says he'd like to run," he said. "Then I think I'd gladly step aside."
At another time in our interview, Hatch said he was committing to calling it quits if Romney entered the race.
At 83, Hatch is one of the oldest members of the U.S. Senate.
A recent Dan Jones poll for the Salt Lake Tribune and Hinckley Institute of Politics said 75 percent of the respondents do not want him to run again.
"I've always had that kind of poll," said Hatch, "and I always win."

|ルカ Ruka
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #285
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Ruka (ルカ, Ruka) is a kunoichi of Kirigakure.
While having a quiet, reserved demeanour, Ruka is fiercely loyal to her village and equally so to her comrades as she spoke out against Pakura's tirade against Kirigakure telling her that the Fifth Mizukage would usher in a new era for the village while worrying about the safety of her comrades.
Ruka is a slim woman with fair skin, black eyes, and shoulder-length brown hair. She sports the standard attire of Kirigakure with a skirt and an Allied Shinobi Forces forehead protector.
Ruka is quite capable at using Water Release techniques, as she was able to counter Pakura's Scorch Release using a mixture of the Water Release: Water Formation Wall technique and a stream of water. She can also readily change the amount of water she employs in her techniques.
As a medical-nin, Ruka has basic knowledge of medical treatments and ninjutsu, as well as good chakra control.
Part II
Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation
As the reincarnated shinobi reappeared on the battlefield, most of the Third Division is scattered into small squads. Ruka is part of a squad led by Monga. Ruka promised Monga that she would also put her life on the line to save his, if something were to happen to him. Gari appears before the squad and after a short fight, is blown up by Monga. Ruka and the squad look in shock when Monga is mummified by Pakura. Maki explains to Ruka that she was once the kunoichi's student. After revealing her death at the hands of Kirigakure, Ruka explains to Pakura that the "Bloody Mist" was no longer the murderous village it used to be thanks to the Fifth Mizukage, however Pakura notes that it would not erase the past. Pakura launched another attack on the squad and incinerates the area to find the hiding shinobi. The squad protect themselves from the blast with Maki's Cloth Binding Technique and Ruka's Water Release. Pakura finds the squad and prepares to kill them until the arrival of Omoi and Zaji. As Gari's regeneration is finished, he joins Pakura in fighting the shinobi but having a change of heart, Pakura allows the squad to flee while halting Gari's movements.

Hi, gang! May not be posting much in these weeks as we go into Christmas, as I still have a ton to do to get ready for it. I do have an exciting event happening in January, though. If you happen to be in the New Orleans area January 19th, I would love for you to join me at Brunch and Bubbles!
The event is happening at New Orleans Auction Galleries on Julia Street. It is hosted by Gambit, so you can go to www.bestofneworleans.com for more info... The whole point is to get people more aware of/interested in auctions. Many people still think that auctions only have stuffy old (read: expensive) antiques, and that is just not the case! Six designers, including myself, are going to make different arrangements out of the furniture so everyone can see how they could use the pieces in their own homes. You don't have to participate in the auction, you could just come by for the nibbles, champagne and inspiration!
Hope to see you there!

The main broad in the skimpy skirt is haaaaaaaaaaaaawt. And this movie was wicked!
Did that person actually compare Magic Mike, clearly intended for adults interested in stripping scenes, to the comment about skimpy clothes, in this movie? I agree with the skimpy clothing comment - don't put it in kids movies. And reviewer - please don't compare the scenes that show women - and men - in sexual situations, to a movie directed at young teens like this one. You are comparing apples to oranges. You know what you're getting when you go to an R rated movie, and that's anyone's choice to go. And yes, it's anyone's choice to see jumaji. But let's show teenagers how to respect females at a young age, so we're not still living in the "me too" age, 10 years from now.
Movie of the year, better than Star SNORES. or is Star Bores
Awesome , full on fun , worth watching !!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I saw the movie lasts night with some friends of mine
we liked it we had a good laugh, not for children to watch
Cute and funny -love Dwayne Johnson??
Excellent movie!
Having seen the first one when it came out, I enjoyed that adventure but had my doubts about a sequel in today's non-board game world.
Hands down, it was highly entertaining from start to finish. Excellent mix of adventure & comedy with the whole premise of the avatar's...the movie was able to walk a fine line of great storyline, goofy, serious & what I call self deprecating humour of the actors themselves without being kitschy.
Well done!
Great story line and animation, I would have given 5 stars, if it was not for those yucky kissing scenes, come on this suppose to be kids movie.
Yeah how dare a movie put a girl in skimpy clothes, they should have more class like all the clothed people in magic mike. Yup women go to that movie for the plot
Who likes short shorts, we like short shorts!

Did you enjoy all our FIM eRoadRacing World Cup coverage this year? No, you didn't miss our postings, because we didn't mention any of the rounds on A&R. You see, it is hard to get excited about the newly minted eRoadRacing World Cup, which in the United States has been dominated by a single brand, Brammo.
While the Isle of Man's TT Zero event continues to make headway, both in competitive entries and close racing, the newly merged racing efforts from the previously competing FIM and TTXGP series has foundered — even in its new cooperative form.
At the center of the problem is probably a variety of issues: too much too soon, not enough commitment from OEMs, and a poor racing spectacle, which is why this week's latest news on the e-racing front is a bit of a disappointment as well: the 2013 FIM eRoadRacing World Cup finale has been cancelled.

With shapes ranging from squares to quatrefoils and finishes extending from gold-leaf to beveled edges, there's no settling when it comes to used wall mirrors, either. Use a sunburst wall mirror over a credenza, or a gilt trumeau mirror over a mantle—no matter your choice the result will be resplendent.

Heavy rain in mountains, but rainshadowed Puget Sound.
To show you what I mean, take a look at a recent latest radar image (attached). Look how dry it is over central PSound. But if you head east you hit the rain by North Bend.
The precipitation is now mainly over the northern portion of the State, but the current of moist flow will settle south this afternoon. I have attached the model forecast 24-h precipitation for two periods...ending 4 AM tomorrow and Thursday morning. One is struck by two things...the tremendous rainfall in the mountains (reds are 5-10 inches). Clearly, some mountain locations will get 10-15 inches. The other feature is the rainshadow over Puget Sound...particularly today. (Note..the first figure is from a higher resolution simulation). You can also see a rainshadow to the lee of the mountains of Vancouver Island over Georgia Strait. The air coming into the region will be very warm, with freezing levels rising to 6-7 thousand feet. The snowpack can absorb some of the water, but plenty will go into the rivers. That plus the melting of the huge low-level snowpack has led the NWS to put up a flood watch for many of the local rivers. If you live in an area that often floods...you should prepare...now.

Hi Cliff,
What's your opinion of the NWS's forecast table interface with regard to the precip forecast? I notice that the 6-hr rainfall forecast can vary considerably several times a day. Do you know the basis of the forecast?
Here's a link
Thanks, I enjoy your blog and the book.

Do you know when the Stampede Pass weather station is expected to be operational again? There`s a huge void in hydrological data right now with it being out of action.

What kinds of winds are we looking at in the lowlands? I can't believe how windy it is here now... gusts in the high 20s and 30s, I would guess.
- January 6, 2009 at 12:38 PM
Very very windy in Ballard right now. Garbage cans flying everywhere.

Darn rainshadow! Need more rain to melt down the remaining ~10" of snow - E Woodinville

Wow, we are getting VERY strong gusts in Ravenna (NE Seattle). There are branches down all over, the tree by my son's school (Woodland Park) has 3 large limbs torn off and its garbage-can alley in all the side roads where bins are empty. The phone lines were down at school too.
Anyone know what wind speed is?
- January 6, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Here's a fun site to watch wind speed on the 520 bridge:

There's some pretty fascinating cloud movement and wind over downtown right now (sorry, I know I'm not speaking in proper terminology). There's a very low level of clouds that are moving very quickly to the ENE, and a slightly higher, more solid level of clouds moving almost perpendicular to the SSE. Really neat stuff!

Centralia Chehalis newpaper reporting one of the NWS models is predicting all time records for Newaukum and Skookumchuck rivers, 3 feet above the 06 Cowlitz flood in Randle, and one foot below our 07 Chehlis flood which was an alltime event.
We are a little freaked. Rob

We have about 20-30 mph winds here on the water in Kingston.
My Question: Is Chicago really windier that the Puget Sound basin?
I have never lived in the "Windy City" but I wonder whether we experience more wind episodes here.
Just wondering...any facts out there??
- January 6, 2009 at 3:14 PM
Chicago was named so after the amount of political hot air that existed then and probably still does today.
- January 6, 2009 at 3:20 PM
According to city-data.com, typical winter wind speeds in Chicago is in the 11mph range. In Seattle it is about 7mph.
- January 6, 2009 at 3:35 PM
It's extremely windy here on Hollywood Hill near Woodinville, 3:45 pm Tuesday...
- January 6, 2009 at 3:44 PM
Hi Cliff,
Years ago (before I retired) I worked on a meteorological measurement system. We installed a unit on the building for marketing purposes. I just checked and it's still there. I know you have lots of data and instrumentation available to you, but if you ever want some real-time data for Redmond, here you go.
I just got your book and I am looking forward to reading it.
- January 6, 2009 at 3:49 PM
Funny, I thought I would be bored with this blog once the snow event ended, but I'm still enjoying it.... plus, now I crave extreme weather, guiltily hoping for really windy weather and a good power outrage.... sadly, I live on an east-facing slope in the lee, whah.
- January 6, 2009 at 5:51 PM
I too am hoping for major rain. We still have lot's of snow here east of North Bend to get rid of. I have to abandon my car at the end of the driveway and walk in. The river is coming up slowly (Middle Fork Snoqualmie) but nothing like '06. I hope it doesn't get that bad. Getting some good gusts in North Bend proper, but I think our place is somewhat sheltered. I was on the 520 bridge earlier. First time I have ever felt it actually rockin' and rollin'!
- January 6, 2009 at 6:13 PM
I appreciate your detailed yet layman's understandability approach; I find myself checking your blog on a daily basis now and am struck at your accuracy and reliability. My brother-inlaw works for one of the BIG Seattle TV stations and I find myself anylizing your predictions vs. the BIG 7.
Keep up the good work; do you work as a meterologist yourself?

Colton Dixon Revamps Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time' on 'American Idol'
It's down to the Top 8 on 'American Idol,' and tonight, contestant Colton Dixon was tasked with singing a song from the '80s.
Instead of picking something from the alternative rock genre, which definitely seems to be the genre Dixon is most comfortable with, the 20 year old went with Cyndi Lauper's pop ballad 'Time After Time.' However, he couldn't resist giving the classic a rock twist.
Dixon met with tonight's mentors, who just happened to be No Doubt members Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal, before his performance. When she found out his song choice, Stefani, who looked ravishing in red, said, "…At first I was like, 'that's a little strange,' but when he did it, it was great." She then sang harmony with Dixon, which nearly sent the youngster into shock.
During his performance, wild hairdos weren't the only things Dixon had in common with Ms. Lauper. The rockin' singer nailed the overall tone of the song, delivering a harder, edgier version of the dreamy original (he admittedly ripped of from the new arrangement from the band Quietdrive) with his great backing band. Although we loved his stage presence and have no doubt that Dixon is a very talented vocalist (we can seriously picture him as the frontman of an alt-rock outfit along the lines of Lifehouse or Switchfoot), his voice did sound a bit nasally at times.
However, regardless of our opinion, everyone else in the 'Idol' auditorium seemed to dig Dixon's rendition of 'Time After Time.' Steven Tyler told the hopeful, "You could do a record right now. You nailed it." Jennifer Lopez was also going crazy over Colton, saying, "You were in sync with the band." Finally, Randy Jackson added, "You made [the song] your own. That breakdown with the drums was sick."
What did you think of Colton's performance? Sound off in the comments!

WAKEFIELD, RI–As of Jan. 1, Healthy Inspirations and Slender Lady, Coronado, CA, have merged and will take the name Healthy Inspirations with Slender Lady franchisees implementing the Healthy Inspirations model in their facilities. Casey Conrad, former CEO of Healthy Inspirations, Wakefield, RI, is president of the merged women-only weight loss and fitness franchise, and Jim Rowe, former majority stockholder of Slender Lady, now is CEO of Healthy Inspirations. Rowe will handle franchising while Conrad will handle operations and marketing.
Healthy Inspirations now has approximately 135 locations, making it the nation's largest full service weight management franchise, combining individual nutritional plans and coaching, exercise, relaxation treatments and beauty treatments under one roof, Conrad says.
The merger occurred after Conrad decided to start selling franchises again after a three-year hiatus. She wanted someone with franchising experience to lead that effort since her strengths were in health and fitness, weight loss and marketing. At the same time, Rowe, who had bought Slender Lady just 16 months prior and had invested millions into improving it, realized that the company was missing the operational elements necessary to take the company to the next level. The two had the same attorney, who upon Rowe's request, contacted Conrad about Rowe's interest in a merger.
Rowe's background is in real estate and franchising. He is the Help-U-Sell sub master franchisor for San Diego and Imperial Counties as well as for the state of Texas. He was an integral member of the Help-U-Sell team responsible for growing the company from 80 to more than 850 franchises in less than 5 years.
"Combining Casey's industry expertise and detailed operational systems, sales and marketing with my experience in how to explosively grow a franchise makes for a powerful 'beauty and the beast' success formula," says Rowe. He forecasts up to 100 franchise sales in 2007, and plans to roll out a regional sales model domestically and internationally.

Sticking to the Union
The Republican Thugs are trying to crush the unions. This is nothing new. For decades now the rich and powerful have tried to break the working class, and you know what? Despite their crap we have WON the right to a weekend, WON the right to a 40 hour work week, WON the right to childhood without forced labor, WON the right to health and retirement benefits, WON the right to collective bargaining...
There has not been one moment since the turn of the 20th century that labor hasn't had to fight for its rights. Now is no exception and now, just as much as any other time, we have to fight together, and we have to STICK TO THE UNION.
And you know it was Woodie Guthrie that got the whole thing started:
Perhaps the best message to remember from Woodie (Hillbilly) Guthrie, is "You Fascists Bound to Lose"
That is how the union movement took off, back when farmers and workers were sacrificed for the sake of trickle down economics back in the Great Depression. Yep...NONE OF THIS IS NEW. All that is new is the communication technology we all use. The basic fight dates back to the Dust Bowl and then the Great Depression. The right wing Republicans tried to force trickle down on us back then and it FAILED then...and it will fail now.
Of course Woodie was known for another great progressive song we all know:
Later Woodie Guthrie's "Union Maid" was taken up by a later generation, represented by Pete Seeger (who stood up to the Blacklist with great determination) and Woodie's son, Arlo Guthrie (who continues to stand up to a physical disability):
And then Union Maid continues in modern times:
But Woodie's other songs also continue into today's consciousness. Bruce Springsteen called it "about the greatest song ever written about America":
And Pete Seeger, who took the torch from Woodie, sang it with Bruce, who took the torch from Pete:
SHIT, THIS is what Republicans are fighting to KILL! Why do Republicans want to KILL this spirit? This spirit is the HEART of America. I mean SHIT, Johnny Cash did the song:
This FUCKING land is YOURS and MINE. Not the damned Koch Billionaires'.
And of course Greatful Dead and Los Lobos did it as well:
And of course Woodie's son Arlo did the same song:
And what about Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Denver singing it with Arlo Guthrie:
And here is yet another version:
Yeah...I mean how much more AMERICAN can you get than this kind of WORKING CLASS, pro-fucking-union, PROGRESSIVE sentiment.
But look...the union spirit is NOT just the musicians and organizers...it is the WORKERS who are at the heart of it...there is no famous singer in this version, just blue collar, working class, AMERICANS:
THIS is what the Republicans fear most...honest, working class Americans who stick to the union, because when honest, working class Americans stick to the union the pro-Billionaire Republicans LOSE. THAT is what we have to do.
Okay...enough. What is my point.
America is NOT about Teabagger, Koch Billionaire trickle down bullshit. America is NOT about the modern Republican Party. America is about Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Willie Nelson, John Denver, Johnny Cash, Los Lobos and everyone else who sings a god damned UNION song to support America's working and middle class. We support our teachers, our firefighters, our cops, our nurses, our construction workers, our trash collectors, our road builders, our farmers...you get the point. Republicans oppose each and every one of these and help ONLY billionaires. Why is this even a contest? They have the money, but we have the votes.
It is time for farmers, firefighters, cops, teachers, nurses, construction workers, miners, trash collectors, and every single working and middle class American to unite against the Republican pro-Billionaire, trickle down bullshit.
I can think of no better thing than to fight for our teachers, firefighters, nurses and police. Republicans are screwing them over, and for what? ALL they want is tax breaks for billionaires. I'd rather teachers, firefighters, nurses and cops than billionaires. What about you?
For now, there are four key states where the fight is going down. There are more, and there WILL be even more. But for now, the four key states are Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Help fight the good fight.

Linux Protects Your Servers with Scapy (part 1)
Basic Operations
The best server and network security tools come from Linux and FOSS. Paul Ferrill introduces Scapy, a powerful Python-based networking protocol analysis and testing tool.
Guarding your private network from the perils of the Internet is no easy task. The basics are pretty much the same from a defensive standpoint no matter how you slice it. Firewalls of one type or another protect an internal network by using two separate Ethernet connections with a software proxy filtering the traffic between the two ports. Linux serves as a great platform for this role with tools like netfilter/iptables.
On the offensive side, the techniques most often used involve either a packet monitoring tool such as Wireshark or a port scanning tool like nmap. Both of these tools have a wide following and should be familiar to any network administrator. Scapy is somewhat of a hybrid between the packet capture and analysis capabilities of Wireshark and nmap's packet generation features. Both of these were covered in a recent Linux Planet article. In this two-part article we'll look first at the basics of Scapy including how to get up and running, how to capture and display specific types of Ethernet traffic and how to create a few simple scripts using Python. In part two, we'll go more in depth to look at using Scapy to test your Web server for possible vulnerabilities, how to track down a rogue DNS server, and how to scan a wireless network for potential security holes.
Installing Scapy takes just a few minutes on a desktop version of Ubuntu. All you need to do is open the Ubuntu Software Center and search for SCAPY. It is actually named python-Scapy and is a collection of tools written in the Python language. You'll also need to install a few other packages if you want to take full advantage of all SCAPY features. The extras list includes python-crypto, python-gnuplot, python-pyx, graphviz and imagemagick.
If you want to get the latest and greatest version of Scapy, you'll need to download the source and execute a few command line instructions to install it. The instructions are available on the Scapy wiki but basically involve downloading the scapy-latest.zip file, extracting the contents and then executing the setup.py command as follows:
$ sudo python setup.py install
There are a number of places to learn about Scapy including the online HTML documentation, the Scapy Wiki, and a variety of presentations and papers available on the main Scapy website. To take full advantage of Scapy you'll need to know TCP/IP networking and a little about the Python language. The main Python website is a good place to start. There are any number of good tutorials and books available with a simple Google search. The book Dive Into Python is available on the web and has been used by many to get started with the language.
Basic Operations
There are any number of basic operations you can accomplish with Scapy. It will even function similarly to Wireshark in that it will capture or sniff the Ethernet devices for all traffic. There are a number of command line options available when you launch Scapy. You also must launch Scapy with administrator privileges if you want to capture any Ethernet traffic directly from any network device. This would look something like:
$ sudo scapy
Once you have Scapy running you should see a three arrow prompt as in >>>. At this point you can enter commands or use Python code. One useful single-line command from the documentation shows how to execute an ICMP Ping for a range of addresses as follows:
>>> ans,unans=sr(IP(dst="192.168.1.1-254")/ICMP())
The sniff command allows you to capture Ethernet packets for further analysis. You can specify a specific interface to use with the iface= option, or leave it blank to capture on all devices. Other options include filter for setting a filter condition for the captured packets, count for specifying how many packets to capture, and prn for creating a special print function to format your output. The ls() and lsc() functions display a list of layers and available functions. (The good documentation will help you to get a full understanding of these commands and how to use them.)

Q. Is Health InfoNet of Alabama just another health web site?
While Health InfoNet considers its web site, www.healthinfonet.org, an important health information source, the site is just one of the resources available. A key resource, in fact, is the access to trained information experts--the professional librarians around the state who partner to provide this service.
In addition to their expertise in finding just the right information at the right time, users can gain access to in-depth, current material found in the print and media collections in the partnering libraries.
Phone and mail reference services are provided by the Health InfoNet libraries as well as walk-in service along with email and chat reference.
Speakers and workshops on finding and critically evaluating health information are available to community groups upon request.

The year 2012 is just under two hours of receding into history. Since it's been a loaded year, it would be improper to let it pass without a recap of notable events or activities undertaken. In no particular order, here are some highlights of my 2012:
Vodafone Broadband in Keta
The year started on a good note. It was finally possible for individuals and organisations in my town to sign up for Vodafone's broadband Internet service. I quickly applied and by February, I started surfing to my heart's delight. My joy's been cut off twice due to the theft of the copper cables that delivered last-mile connectivity. As I blog, the service has not be restored after the second interruption. Oh! :(.
Diplo Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme
I got a scholarship from Diplo Foundation to pursue an online course in Introduction to Internet Governance, as part of their Capacity Building Programme for citizens of developing countries. Through the course, I got a better appreciation of the power of the Internet as a tool for social change and the different positions on how the global platform should be managed. It was also a great opportunity to experience online education first hand and to network with other emerging African leaders in field. My appreciation goes to Godfred Ahuma, who encouraged me to apply, Stephen Nii Adjei Sowah, one of my Ghanaian coursemates, Marsha Guthrie, my tutor, Stephanie Psaila and Ginger Paque for making the experience worthwhile for me. It was unfortunate though that we could not organise Ghana Internet Governance Forum in 2012. I hope that changes next year
Ghana Decides
If you've been following this blog closely, you'd notice that a lot has been said about BloggingGhana's Ghana Decides project and its drive to engender youth engagement in Ghana's civic affairs. Through various campaigns, workshops and discussions, we captured the diverse needs of youth groups, disability self-help groups, women candidates and other voices often drowned out in our politics. One beautiful thing about Ghana Decides project is that aside the core team, Ghana's online community contributed actively and this crystallised its success. Today, we have a machine that could morph into an accountability and community mobilisation initiative. Whatever, it becomes it's all back to the community!
BlogCamp Ghana
BloggingGhana finally moved the BlogCamp talk to action, and the result was the biggest and most interesting social media event held in Ghana to date. Edward Tagoe and the BlogCamp team's vim was the main propelling force behind this astounding success, as many young Ghanaians for the first time found out how they could make their voices heard through social media. Watch out for BlogCamp 2013.
BarCamp Ghana
GhanaThink Foundation has been organising barcamps in Ghana since 2008, but in 2012 there was a record. Eight barcamps in seven regions. Unprecedented! I attended six of those- Takoradi, Sunyani, Cape Coast, Ho, Tema and Accra. This makes 2012 my most 'barcamped' year. Also, I had the opportunity of introducing some of my students from the Writers and Debaters Club of Keta Senior High Technical School to barcamps, showcasing how the unconference model can inspire learning and encourage creativity among youngsters. Guess what? They got hooked and are now busy planning their own "Junior Camp" as part of their 60th Anniversary SRC week celebration. More Vim!
ICT, Digital Literacy and Education
There were many opportunities to further efforts in this space as ICTs have become increasingly crucial tools for education, business and development. Due to their growing ubiquity, there's no excuse, really, not to take advantage of what they have to offer. Like I've been saying around: "we must use the tools we have to solve the problems we face." And where we don't have these tools, we have to strive to make them. Here are a few programmes that I was involved in, one way or the other:
- Coders4Africa/PAT Ghana Python in Action Demo
- AITI-KACE Innovation Week Discussion on Open Learning
- ICT4D.at In-Service Training for Teachers in Digital Literacy
- Ghana Educators Network
- Global Lab Ghana
- Ghana Makers
- UNESCO Education For All Global Monitoring Report Ghana Launch
To sum, 2012 has been packed and productive. Let's look forward to the new year, with faith and hope that our plans and dreams will be brought to life. I'm looking forward to a great 2013 and wish the same for you. Happy New Year, Happy New You!
